-Come on! -Ok, down!

-What are your thoughts about food? -I had a snack before we began.

Do you think you will be hungry soon? Do you want to have dinner later?

I'm honestly not sure what the plan is.

If people plan to eat later, I think I'll have something now.

I need a quick bite.

Then we can eat together later.

Frøya! What are your thoughts about food? Are you hungry?

Cant we desecrate some first?

It's no fun raping on a full stomach.

The thing about me, as you will see in Rome -

- is that I'm a person that fills a room.

A magnetic personality, you might say, -

- that you feel enters a room, long before you see him.

Really? I havent noticed that.

I really am!

People just doesnt get it in your stone age village.

Norheim ... I wonder if they miss us.

They should only know how little I miss their brutality culture.

I look forward to meeting likeminded people on the continent.

Speaking of Rome, are we close? We have been travelling for months

Okay, maybe a globe maker or a map man could have answered that.

But we just have to follow to the sun which always shows the way south.

We have to trust in that.

Damn Loke, this was nice. A perfect day, nothing less.

Its so easy not to stop at something good. Just chase on.

Its something about just enjoying the present.

-What a place this is. -Yes, we were just talking about it.

We should just settle down, you know Lots of fertile land, weak enemies.

Thats what we should have done. Settled down and started a colony.

Look at this! The gods certainly happy with us.

This is the third day in a row we find a finished camp with a fire ring.

There you have it. Longer south on the continent everything gets better.

Norway doesnt facilitate camp sites.

They only put sticks in the wheels for most people.

Is it just me, or does this look really similar to where we were yesterday?

It has to be same place. I slept there.

Dont be so difficult, Liv. How dissimilar can campsites be?

Yes, a camp site is a camp site.

-Yes? -We burned the village to the ground.

Or what was left of it, anyway.

They had been plundered so many timed they just sat there apathetic.

They didnt mind beeing plundered.

-This is all the loot. -Rats?

These turnips actually taste okay.

This is dismal, Torstein. Plundering is so passé.

We just have to find something to steal, so it looks like we know what we are doing.

Heap together what there is of slaves. To night we sail for Norway.

I dont know ... I'm starting to doubt everything.

You? You who will become legendary?

The chieftans wifte that went beggars with two outlaws. You? You who will become legendary?

The chieftans wifte that went beggars with two outlaws.

It commands respect.

-But Im not a chieftans wife anymore.. -Anyone cant just take the away from you.

With womens rights beeing so strong now in the viking age -

Arvid cant just get rid of you like a bad habit.

I would seek legal advice. I think you have a very strong case.

And you tell me that now?

Its water under the bridge, as I say, for soon we will reach our destination.

(A twig snaps.)

What was that?

My intuition tells me that that is nothing to care about...

Sturla Bonebreaker!

-Old companion -What an incredible coincidence.

Old acquaintances meeting an incredibly unlikely place. -Old companion -What an incredible coincidence.

Old acquaintances meeting an incredibly unlikely place.

Sit down, before I knock you down. Have a little rodent.

I'm having a blast traveling.

-But its a bit nice coming home as well?? -Me, I think traveling is the best.

Yeah, it might be messy situation back home.

Us becoming a couple, -

- and I'm living with Hildur who is pregnant and ...

Yes, it is a bit messy.

If the child is mine, I'll have to be there.

If? It is, right? -Loke knows. I have been thinking. If the child is mine, I'll have to be there.

If? It is, right? -Loke knows. I have been thinking.

When I think about it. I dont think she came.

I came in buckets.

I came at once. Loads.

More than usual, actually. But, I dont think she came.

Or climaxed, or what ever its called. And then the child isnt mine.

But I dont think women need to climax for them to come with child?

Or wait - that sounds right. I never got kids with Orm.

How do you pass your days, Sturla? After the "mutiny" in Norrheim?

I capture lawless people and sell them as slaves.

Human trade? Well, someone need to that job as well.

We are on our way to Rome. Away from the cold north.

-You haven't come very far -Yes we have.

Norheim is a three day march from here. So no.

Thee day march? Have we used two months on a three day march?

-Dear Odin. You two! -Us two? Excuse me.

If we should blame anyone, we should blame the sun. Its the sun we have been following.

-What are you three doing in the woods? -Yes, that is a good question.

A series of unlucky circumstances lead to...

-Dont, Orm. -... We became outlaws.

But that will be our little secret.

You dont have any legal rights? Anyone can do what ever they want with you?

In reality thats highly unlikely.

-Ok, we'll talk later people. -Later.

-Dont let anyone steal your dreams. -Rome isnt a dream, but a reality.

Come, we have to leave before he returns.

You always think the worst of people. Bonecrusher has a heart of gold.

Not if you are called Bonecrusher! You understand we have to get away from here?

We have to sleep. Its been a very long day.

I get irritable if I dont get enought sleep. That is a warning.

How hard is it to keep the tempo up?

Several are missing legs, and the one in the back is blind.

This is embarrassing We have to loose them before we meet anyone we know.

Come on!

If it isnt Jarl Vargs men?

-Nice meeting you again, I almost said. -Here you are, you as well?

We brought this sick loot from the west we are going to sell.

Us too. Only from the east.

Its to bad theres a limit to how much you can carry home.

We had to ditch six slaves. They weighed too much.

To much tits and muscle. To much ballast, to be sure.

Damn Loke, have you guys plundered Helheim?

They might look a bit shabby, but this is prime stock.-

-That guy over there? Prime stock? -The body compensates.

If you are missing an arm, the other one gets twice as strong.

It doesnt matter. I'm happy with slaves that have a few blemishes. If you are missing an arm, the other one gets twice as strong.

It doesnt matter. I'm happy with slaves that have a few blemishes.

-There might be a struggle for those. -Good for you.

Slaves with a certain other appeal. Something for feinschmeckers.

Not as "commerce" as yours. Slaves with a certain other appeal. Something for feinschmeckers.

Not as "commerce" as yours.

They have a larger consumer base -

- but if we meet the right people here. We are golden.

-Yeah, we will wait and see, -Later.

-Good bye. -Come on. The last stretch.

Up on your leg! Come on! Good.

-Jarl Varg. -Arvid. And the hand thief.

Your'e having a snack? How are the prosthesis?

There is nothing wrong with them?

No way. They a splendid. Leading in their field.

You have loads of cash. Been west?

Yes,we just returned from plundering. Really nice.

Maybe its time you gave me that map, as Olav promised me?

No. Sorry.

You know breaking promises might not be healthy.

Varg, you sit there without hands and threaten. Isnt that just weird?

You are per definition handicapped.

You cant fight, you cant row, you cant sail.

Tell me, do you master even one hand related thing?

-No. -So what are you going to do with the map?

I get a perls-before-swine feeling.

But talk to you later.

Arvid!

We to have to meet again. Under other circumstances.

-Okay What are you thinking about? -I cant be bothered to explain that now.

But we will meet again under other circumstances.

Yes, it would be strange to meet again here with the exact same circumstances.

-Just go, Arvid. -I'm just saying.

I cant take it anymore.

Once again Tor and Odin has shown us -

- that they appreciate the work we do.

If they think its wrong to plunder, butcher and desecrate, -

- then we wouldnt be standing here today with such a bountiful plunder. If they think its wrong to plunder, butcher and desecrate, -

- then we wouldnt be standing here today with such a bountiful plunder.

Lets say: "On three", then you can help yourselves. One, two, three!

-So you are giving it all away? -Yes, it was Hildurs Idea.

A chieftan needs to buy som loyalty. Thats how it works.

-Are you doing the middle? -Thats really nice.

I have to say, Arvid. This cape is lovely.

-Really nicely plundered -Thank you for doing it.

Sit down. You'll want some food, maybe.

-You have to eat for two. -No thank you.

-Doesnt this feel good? -What?

It could have been more strained.

Not everyone can cope with their significant other living with -

- someone they have squirted seed into. But you are doing it.

-At that commands respect. -It really does.

I'll get my space to be first lady, and you can nourish your relationship. -At that commands respect. -It really does.

I'll get my space to be first lady, and you can nourish your relationship.

What we three share is unique. Right?

Håkon? Come here and communicate some with your family.

You only sit there moping around, not playing with the kids -

- and havent been to work since you returned from Norrheim. Is something wrong?

Kids, can you play outside? I'm going to talk with your dad.

Tell me. Did something sad happen on the trip?

Well ... The trip ...

It just became really bad to be hones.

How? Did you have to march with blisters?

-Were there insects so you couldnt sleep?? -Not many insects.

No. Well. What was it?

When we arrived in Norheim, the first thing we had to do,

- was to dismember and kill many those living there. Yes.

Then Varg wanted us to desecrate one of the women.

Desecrate? Like desecrating with your weenie?

-Not oral rape? -No, no.

He wanted oss to desecrate with our weiners.

I have to say that is shocking. And Varg, of everyone?

He forced us far out of our comfort zones.

You shouldnt have to be afraid to go to work! He forced us far out of our comfort zones.

You shouldnt have to be afraid to go to work!

-No, you shouldnt. -And you will tell him that.

Its all about communication. What is the worst that can happen?

Håkon, tell me, have you heard of phantom pains?

No.

-Me neither. -No.

I have a little thought that i wanted to share with you.

Some input.

-Interlude -Yes?

Its like this, some of the soldiers think things have gone a bit too far.

Things are getting a bit to much really.

We understand we have to be rough around the edges, -

- but there is something with the total.

Your cruel leadership style and the evil plans -

- might have gone a couple of tiny steps too far.

We were thinking we should have a seminar, -

- where we went through where we are, where we are going and things.

Maybe even a round about our values.

Yes? Good. Good.

Most people choose young beautiful slaves when they want to command someone to ...

... rub one out.

-Ok? -Not me. Classic mistake.

I go for experience.

Yes.

This one has been rubbing them out since before the Fenris Wolf got chained.

Ok.

-Anything else? -No, no not really, so ...

Stop. Calm.

Stop. Calm.

Well, if it isnt Sturle Bonecrusher himself?

I found something in the forest I think you are interested in.

No, but

Hey, hey.

Hey, Frøya, Arvid, Hildur ...

Liv, what has happened to her?

I dont know ... Maybe taken by a wolf.

Wolfs and menstruation - bad combo.

In that case it is tragic, so my thoughts go to those close to her.

-Well, thats you. You are her husband. -Not anymore. I'm not.

But what should we do with you two?

Maybe just cross this one out and start anew with shiny new rune sticks?

No, that isnt happening. You betrayed the whole village, so - no. Maybe just cross this one out and start anew with shiny new rune sticks?

No, that isnt happening. You betrayed the whole village, so - no.

It might have happened some regrettable things on both sides, -

- but I am sure every one feels equally bad.

And, it isnt our fault. We'll have to blame the norns, goddesses of destiny.

For everyone knows that it is the norns that spins lifes threads, -

- so a mans life is predestined. Thats why we did why we did.

Orm actually has a point here. Its true ...

-Ragnar ... -What? Its destiny.

its predestined, everything.

Laws and rules isnt my strength, especially not norns -

- so the lawmaker might be able to answer?

Yes.

Not everyone will like what I have to say. But the lawmakers sentence must be respected.

There is no doubt that Orm has the right to inherit the throne,

His father was chief, his brother was chief.

-So Orm has the right to the throne. -Thank you, very much.

I am very proud and humble and look forward to getting to ...

But - he has betrayed his people.

He has disqualified him self. The inheritance must be set aside.

As long as I am alive, Orm shall be at the bottom of society as a slave.

Rufus, you came here a slave. You will continue as one.

-Take them out! -No, no. Listen to me!

I can do a hundred mens work intellectually, but no ones physically!

I am creative! And left handed! I have thin wrists!
