A LOT OF IT HERE ACTUALLY HAPPENED

- And what is this one called? - A charging stick.

Exactly. Your sister has been a good teacher.

- Freya. - Thank you, Freya. Good work.

Freya.

- Collect it again. - Okay, far.

What do we think of this?

I like it. Mom, do you like this?

It is beautiful.

An emerald necklace, which belonged to our great-great-grandmother.

Do you think it will match my dress?

What happened, Freya?

Our house?

The forest? The forest near our house. Through the woods? Okay. Yes.

The hill ridge.

What is it?

Soldiers?

- What kind of soldiers? - Danes.

How many?

Many.

You must not stop. Do you remember Sten Sture?

- Give this to him and no one else. - Here's something to eat.

- What's going on, dad? - Just calm down.

Ride fast. You're going home again soon and be the most beautiful bridesmaid.

- Came. You have something you must. - Not again, father.

DIDRIK SLAGHEcK THE EVIL MAN

SYLVESTRE THE MAN WITH THE SCAR

HANS GÄBLEIN A GERMAN BROTHER

ADOLF GÄBLEIN ANOTHER GERMAN BROTHER

HOLGER THE GREAT DANISH GUY

Sylvestre, look for it.

How long?

It's still fresh.

The Swedish pigs. I hate them so much.

Try looking here, Didrik.

- Are you ready for this change? - Yes, I am.

Walk with God and it will end well.

Is it that easy?

Nothing is easy.

We live in dark times.

- Without God it is impossible. - I am a little in doubt.

- Doubt? - I would like to give my life to Johan.

And to God. But where do I fit in?

Shouldn't I have a life purpose?

I guess I can be more...

- Helpful. - Yes of course.

Your father, Ulf Eriksson, is a mighty man.

Together with others he wants to build a strong country.

A strong Sweden, and that strength will come from God.

You also have the strength in you.

Take her!

Take her! Take it.

Find lever.

Look here. It's the same monogram.

She is gone.

GUSTAV TROLLE THE ARCHBISHOP

Take care, my friends.

Why did it take so long?

An army of 10,000 men moving slowly.

You should have freed me a year ago.

- Or two years ago. - I know.

- Or three years ago, Didrik. - I know.

- The king was in love. - And he's not anymore?

- She died. - I am pleased.

- It's good to see you, you pig. - You too.

Okay.

Can you...?

Can you recognize this?

The Eriksson family.

They are truly a nuisance.

THREE YEARS EARLIER

Ulf Eriksson was there,

STEN STURE THE SWEDISH HEAD OF STATE

If he is not stopped, Sweden breaks

For the trade, the church. It will

- He's a traitor. - Yes, he definitely is.

Bishop Brask, what did you say?

by the Holy Spirit

- Let's do it. - Let's hit the pig.

- I can see him! - Now we have haml.

I was hunted like a dog...

Archbishop Gustav Trollel.

... by the Devil himself.

- Sten Sture. - You are under arrest for high treason.

This will be the death of you.

Burn everything, please.

Come on, Troll. Off.

We can't stand here and talk.

I've got places to go and people I will wipe out.

- You're dead. - I shot you first.

- You two need to get ready. - You lost again.

- Today is a big day, boys. - Are you going to live in Stockholm?

Yes. Together with Johan, but we often come to visit.

When will Freya come back?

Soon, sweetie, soon.

Help them get out.

- John! Welcome! - Ulfl. Marial.

- How was the trip? - It went well.

Anne...

You look amazing.

- But we must not see each other. - Let it go, Johan.

- I'm not looking. - It's silly.

- No, that makes sense. - Help me unbutton.

Don't you want enough?

- Okay. - Right.

It was a.

- To. - You best.

Shouldn't we...?

- I think we should wait. - Yes, we should wait.

Anne, are you ready?

Well. Yes, we'd better wait.

- Until it's... official. - Officially, yes.

May God bless

May he in his mercy

For God's sake

- I declare to you proper spouses to be.

You must now kiss the bride.

Go in peace and let your lives glorify the Lord.

Where is Freya?

It's funny, like some people are hard to keep off.

Let's celebrate the bride and groom and wish them a long and happy life.

Till death do us part.

I still think it's a shame to come here -

- and be so unfriendly on his daughter's wedding day.

Does it represent irony?

- Let's get started. - That was better.

Farl.

Help! Help me!

It is okay.

- Come on, old friend. - Let's get started.

Listen up, you scumbags!

Ulf Eriksson.

You signed an ordinance, who condemned me for treason.

Yes I did. And I would do it again.

Now? Good luck.

No no no. No!

Then that's enough! Clap in, you scumbag.

Lars.

Well, you're probably cool, huh? Came. Show me what you can do.

Right here.

Come on. Just come.

Yes. You can.

- Run to dad. - Far...

Far...

Lars.

Neil.

Clap in, you scumbag.

No.

- Pardon. - Nope. Nail.

Daniel! Nejl. Daniell.

Daniel, stop! Daniell.

Mom said I didn't must get stains on the shirt.

We avoid getting anything on the shirt, if we can.

Daniel! Daniell.

Kill him or I'll kill you and your stupid brother.

Stupid sausage German guy.

It did not go so well.

Forgive me my sins, Father.

Sylvestre, spare the priest.

We are not beasts.

You survive.

Morderl.

What a hero. Take him with you. Maybe he can be of use.

I think we're done here.

You and your stupid brother.

- Take him with you. - Fat pig.

- What a beautiful wedding. - I almost liked Ulf.

What a mess.

- Let's get out of here. - Okay, come on.

cHRlSTlAN 2. THE KING OF DENMARK

- It got out of control, lord king. - A wedding, I hear.

They were all enemies of the Union.

- And what about him there? - It's Johan Night and Day.

He is loyal to Sture. He is a big man in the opposition.

I thought, that he could be useful to us.

You have hit unauthorized decisions.

But I can see through that. We all know you've had a hard time.

But do something about that beard, before you see me again.

Sows.

Slagheck, you hate the Swedes, don't you?

I don't like them, but oh well I hate them, I don't know.

- They are so arrogant. - It's so annoying.

Yes. It's so annoying.

Didrik, you're thinking now at that again?

Look at me. Is that with your dad again?

Can you try looking at it like this?

Many men who are born outside marriage, has done great things.

But we go to Hell when we die.

I don't think that's a given. That depends on what you do in your life, -

- and what you do is work for me. You work for the king.

And thereby you serve and please God.

Do you think so?

- Makes sense, right? - Because.

- It helps to talk about it. - Yes.

Now. Now.

When we get to Stockholm, when we reconquer Sweden, -

- and the union is intact again...

...then maybe we have to to clean things up a bit, so to speak.

Can I put my trust in that you can help me with that?

- Would it be serving God? - Greatly.

And.

I like to hear that.

Where... Where is Johan?

They're gone, Freya.

They are all gone.

Help me find these men.

Freya.

THE GREAT DANISH GUY GERMAN BROTHERS

THE MAN WITH THE SCAR THE EVIL MAN

Do you really believe all this?

Yes. The Bible. God.

That's what we're told. That God is greater than all of us.

But, Freya, the Bible was written in a chaotic time.

It was a violent time with unexpected bloodshed.

And then Jesus came and said, that people should love each other.

And God would take revenge in the beyond, wherever that is.

"Don't take the law into your own hands, but give way to the wrath of God, -

- because as it is written: 'Revenge belongs to me, I will retaliate."'

Don't you understand?

It's a lie and Latin, which will oppress people.

I don't care whether it is heresy. It is true.

Cant you see it? God does not exist.

You saw what they did, Freya.

They find us and slaughter us like the others.

We must get ready.

Teach me to fight as you can.

Stupid... deranged... Swedes.

Get ready. We're leaving now.

Freya, we are in danger here too. We have to go.

I'm going out and they find pigs and Johan.

Fine.

I have no need for you anyway.

Are you coming with me or what?

I'll take that as a yes.

Pardon. I didn't mean what I said.

Don't you want enough? Won't you come with me?

IN THE MEANTIME IN STOCKHOLM

KRISTINA GYLLENSTIERNA FIRST LADY OF SWEDEN

Stand pipe.

Let's hit the Danish scams.

Your horse is ready.

- I don't look like that at all. - I'm not done.

You are all the same. Where were you educated?

- Dortmund. - Are there women in Dortmund?

Miss Gertrud, can you look at this? You have to judge it. I can not...

- Now? - It doesn't capture your inner beauty.

Exact. Inner beauty. Men cannot understand that.

- Early. - Ha, Albert.

Your husband is leaving. He wants to talk to you.

Hand me the cistern.

Come on, Gertrude.

Always. You start with...

What have you done with your head?

Kristina, I can't practice there, where we are going.

On the contrary. There is a lot of waiting time on campaign. You said so yourself.

- Yes. - Practice makes perfect.

I practice when I get home.

Do you promise?

- Yes. - You must come home alive.

- Of course I promise. - Okay.

I love you.

I love you, you little one. Tell the girls I love them.

- Here you go. - Yes.

Cautious.

Come on guys.

Okay?

THE GREAT DANISH GUY GERMAN BROTHERS

THE MAN WITH THE SCAR THE EVIL MAN

Down there is the Swedish camp, and down there is the Danish camp.

Johan is somewhere over there.

No, Freya. We stick to the plan. I'll find him and then we'll meet.

Thanks. See you soon.

And I love you.

No no. No. No. Albert, just one glass in the morning on match day.

- Naturally. - I write a few words.

I'm trying to... encourage the people before all hell breaks loose.

- That is a good idea. - Yes.

Sit down. Let's talk together.

Albert.

Do you think I can say that we offer the Danish pigs resistance?

- Maybe great resistance. - Well.

Really good. Great resistance.

Albert, do you think Are they impressed?

- The Danes? - Yes.

I do not know. They have soldiers from all over Europe.

- And they have a brand new kind of cannon. - So we have to be smart.

- That would be good. - Yes.

We must use what little we have, in a very clever way.

- Of course, yes. - That is why I decide.

Should I ask the people for to be smart?

- Specific. - Yes of course.

Maybe I will one more glass anyway.

Bad.

- Archers, get ready! - Javell.

He dropped it.

Now I'll kill you.

We attack.

Ex.

We have them surrounded!

Return the fire!

Answers the fire

Good dog. Just calm down.

Holger!

Spoiled Swedes.

Freya!

From place

Get out of the way!

Call a doctor.

Make room Make room!

And one and two and one, two, three, four.

I am not satisfied with Iliana's game. She is not a natural talent.

- Good, she has a pretty face. - She can improve.

However, Magdalena has something.

See how she handles the strings. She has inherited my sense of melody.

Yes, she is a natural talent. Just like his mother.

They need music in their lives. And her father doesn't help.

Iliana! That's not how a lady behaves.

I hate this. I'd rather be at war like father.

- Take Magdalena out to play. - Yes ma'am. Came.

We've talked about this... Iliana.

- Women and children do not go to war. - Why not?

- They just don't do that. - What kind of answer is that?

If... if we went to war, would they be confused, -

- and they need to feel, that they save us.

When will dad come back?

Soon, Iliana. And so shall we be grateful and praise him.

And then take your flute and practice.

- Pardon. - Well.

He asked to speak to you.

Here you go.

How are you feeling?

- What? - It is good to see you.

It's good to see you too.

My mother and father would have prayed I wish you well, but...

They are dead.

Everyone's dead, Sten.

- I'll join them soon. - No no. You'll probably make it.

Medical knowledge has made great progress.

You will be able to walk again. And run around with your kids.

And...

... head of state.

Okay, I'll tell Kristina, that she should be head of state.

say i love her and that I'm sorry, -

- that I didn't practice anymore on the cistern.

I won't forget that.

Must...

What?

May God have mercy on us.

And.

May God have mercy on us.

Bad...

There are four left.

We are also going straight to Stockholm.

I'm going to tell my cousin that she is now head of state.

Yes, cousin. Kristina, Sten's wife...

... widow, is my half cousin on father's side.

It does not matter.

Watch out for this.

Pisl.

Kill them all.

Freya!

Piss off!

Give me a chance.

Freya!

early

He was the bravest man, I have met.

Get a medical gel. Quickly!

Here you go.

There are signs of that one of your cannonballs...

How about one of my cannonballs? Speak up, spy.

- I'm not a spy. - I mean, you are.

I am a bishop.

Hemming Gadh to serve. I want to prevent a bloodbath.

HEMMING GADH THE SPY

So you want to betray your people?

- I can see the case from both sides. - And?

One of your cannonballs hit Sten Sture, -

- and later he died.

That's good news, spy.

I guess that means that there is what they call...

... a power vacuum, in your country.

- Yes. - And then?

Sture's wife, Kristina, becomes the new head of state.

A woman? Seriously?

Yes. Kristina is a woman. It is correct.

But she is quite capable.

In bed?

In bed?

- It was good. - Quite funny, my lord king.

- You will still have to negotiate. - I am the rightful king of the land.

The Union is my father's life's work. It shall not be taken from me -

- by some deranged Swedish peasants.

- Sure. - Negotiate what?

- Conditions. - What conditions?

The conditions for our... their surrender perhaps.

Maybe? Either you know, or you don't.

when you talk to me I want a clear answer.

You should negotiate the terms for the surrender of the Swedes.

Now he is safe. But I believe you does not. I think you say that, -

- even if you're not sure. Now?

Why are you looking around? Look at me.

- Look at me when you talk to me. - Look at him when you talk to him.

- Look at him. - Look at migl.

- What is it then? - What?

Does anyone have a suggestion? Battleship?

Let's conquer Stockholm and show her who's boss!

Good morning.

Kristina Gyllenstierna is my cousin, and I have to talk to her.

- Was it painful for him? - Yes, but he...

Did you comfort him?

- I tried that. - Good that a relative was there.

- Horsemeat must be heated through. - Yes. Thanks for the advice.

Did he say anything else?

That you are head of state now, but...

You probably have already calculated.

It hurts me so much.

You said the pigs didn't even spared women and children.

- No. - Devils.

Did you recognize anyone?

Bishop Trolle was there.

Of course he was.

What are they doing to Johan?

They will probably use him and others to make me give them the city.

I need your help.

They killed my little brothers. They took Johan.

And now Freya. I don't even dare think what they are doing to her.

- They must die, Kristina. - We have to negotiate with them, Anne.

- That's how you do it. - Why waste time on it?

- They must burn in Helvedel. - You often end up there yourself.

Madam, it hurts me, and if i may ask...

- Who is she? - My new advisor.

Just calm down. I am a patriot to the bone.

We all are here.

The Danes killed my whole family, so…

- I'm not here for fun. - I didn't imply that either.

Anne, will you confirm that Bishop Trolls were involved in the massacre?

Bishop Trolle led the way, when my family was murdered.

His judgment has made him vengeful, and he was already vengeful.

Therefore, we must not close the Danes into our city.

Of course not, ma'am, but if you allow…

- Not here. There. - You don't have to give me anything.

My wife baked it for us. It's a gingerbread.

- Bare fang an. - No way.

I insist. It will mean a lot to my wife.

Well, as long as you takes the first piece.

We know everything about your Danish connections, Hemming.

Let's start the meeting.

We have suffered heavy losses, and I will not bend.

The king's army is strong. Before long he has the city besieged.

Then he will consume it, and who knows what will happen to you?

- And you. - That's true, but...

I listen, that he is willing to negotiate.

- Where did you hear that, Hemming? - I have my sources, Kristina.

I have that too.

- I'm just pragmatic. - Pragmatism will be our downfall.

- Think about your children. - People in Stockholm are my children.

We negotiate when we want.

Tell your wife that her cake was dry. It was still good, -

- but still a bit dry.

Hello...

And?

Who are you?

- My name is anne. - I don't sleep with women.

Neither do I. It is about something else.

What will you?

This is my family, your daughter Freja have lived with for all the years.

Do you blame me for to have given my daughter away?

No, I didn't mean to offend you thus.

Freya is in danger.

Nejl. Nay!

No! No, won't you rather not?

No! I'm begging you. I'm begging you. No. Nail.

My poor child.

Her father was a brave man.

And he was murdered for it, he believed in.

Right in front of her eyes. Slaughtered like an animal.

Freya was five years old.

She never said anything after that.

Not one word.

- I wanted to give her a better life. - I know.

What can you do as a woman?

It's a matter of class, isn't it?

God help us all.

- Grace! No! stop - Shut up!

- Nejl. Nay! - Hold her!

Neil.

Dung pig!

- What's going on, sausage Germans? - Didrik, we're just fine...

That's enough, you deranged idiots.

We move.

- Yes. Burn the place down. - You heard him. Burn everything down.

Come on.

Let's do it.

Push! Shovel

Push, push, push.

Push, push, push. Push! Shovel

Die!

THE GREAT DANISH GUY THE GERMAN BROTHERS

Ex.

- Oh. Good morning. - Good morning.

I like to surround myself with beautiful people, -

- and therefore it tires me to be in the company of Hemming Gadh.

Don't misunderstand this, and you've had a hard time.

Anne, you look terrible.

You've fallen for it, Anne.

I haven't had time to take take care of my appearance.

But now you're with me and you must look like a real lady.

We're going to have a real girl's day. No children, no war.

Just us.

How wonderful.

- Off! - Just enjoy the pain, Anne.

You were good at the meeting. You must not bow down to them.

- Can we just stop? - Sorry, ma'am.

Who was that man? Him with the cake from the wife.

Hemming Gadh. Once he fought against the union with us.

- But then he changed sides. - Why?

Men switch sides when it's convenient them. Integrity is nothing these days.

- I will never betray you. - I know that, Anne.

You can see, that the union does not benefit us.

- Yes, definitely. - We cannot thrive under the union.

- Now we are ready for the blood. - Yes ma'am.

We are spoiled.

Hareblod. It should remove signs of aging.

I don't trust the Danish king.

Look at the men he surrounds himself with. They maintain power with fear.

- Don't we all do that? - You're not like that at all.

No, but I have to pretend I am. There are no other options.

There are no other options.

- I got it sewn for you. - It is so beautiful.

It is much better than the blood-stained sack here.

It was part of my wedding dress.

Oh. It has must have once been beautiful.

But we must forget the past and focus on the future. Off.

King Christian thinks that his stupid siege will break the Stockholmers.

But that will never happen.

Wait a minute. Can you help me?

- Stop stealing all the food. - You can not catch me.

- They're getting desperate?

Four months have passed. No food comes into town.

- How long do you think they will last? - It is hard to say.

Kristina is at least as stubborn like her husband.

I will suggest, that you enter into a settlement.

- You're cheating. - No I do not.

Gustav. Loss and wind with the same mind. Don't you remember?

- Okay, it's your turn. - A settlement?

The Siege of Stockholm will harm the Union.

When entering a new province, you have to get people over to your side.

- Wow, that was smart, spy. - Right.

So we write that you promise to protect Kristina and her people.

They must keep their freedom and privileges.

What did you say? Also their privileges?

- For now. We can change that later. - Gustav, we can always change it.

And that you will release the hostages.

- Do I want it? - Yes, you will!

Instead of hanging them and burning their corpses for all to see.

- It's called putting pressure on. - Now, it has a name?

Imagine how good that will be feels like wearing the Swedish crown.

- Can you feel it? - I can feel it.

I can feel it.

But the crown is now a bit heavy.

It's a bit heavy, Hemming. It pushes me under the water.

Hemming Gadh, red mig! It's pushing me down!

Hemming, so help him dogg.

- Hemming, it was at the last second. - Pardon.

In the future, don't yell at me. I am your king.

- Specific. It is quite heavy. - That's it.

Put it where you want.

- Early. - From your king?

- Soon he will be your king. - No never.

- Now don't be naive. - Better that than traitor.

If you do not choose a side, then you end up with the winner.

Tell Kristina, that if she says yes, -

- then the king will show his prisoners of war mercy.

Instead of sending them back in very small pieces.

It usually ends badly for people like you.

Has anyone told you that you are beautiful?

Here it is.

christian makes people suffer and then asks them to love him.

Only a man could be so stupid.

Oh.

Oh.

He promises us amnesty. What is he thinking about?

- Does he think we will bend? - This is bigger than all of us.

- People are starving. We have to do something. - We'll figure out something.

He is a snake. And snakes feels like losing his head.

- There must be another way. - Do we have any other choice?

I want to see Johan again,

- Danes cannot be trusted.

- God pointe. - Of course I want to see him.

- We'll get him back. - You must do what benefits the country.

- You play expensive? - Extremely expensive.

I like that.

- Company, teaml. - Javell.

Release the prisoners!

Anne!

You look good.

- Oh my god, how wonderful it was. - Yes, it was strange.

Oh God.

Did they treat you badly?

A little at first, but...

But they let me walk around, and then we got to know each other.

- They are not bad people. - Think you say that.

This thing with the union...

- I think we should stay in it. - What?

Denmark has many good sides.

The king himself visited me, and he explained, -

- that without the union the Germans will expand to the north.

We must stick together. He talked to me. King Christian.

It was really moving.

Johan.

Did you talk about family and everyday life?

- Joys and worries? - Exactly.

Didn't like them at first, but then you became better friends?

Yes. Being a hostage is complex. Purely emotional.

There you can see.

Piss in my ear.

We did it. We recreated the union.

My king.

- Can you help me? - Of course, my king.

First let me say thank you to all of you, because you could come today.

Especially you, Eminence.

It means the world to know that I have Rome's blessing.

We are blessed to have a strong one ally in this part of the world.

The coronation made me so proud.

And it was a big moment for Sweden.

- Gustav. - In that order?

- Gustav. Thank you for a beautiful coronation. - Thank you, lord king.

Yes. Yes Yes Yes.

Now don't be modest. There's more where that came from.

This is nice, isn't it?

We are gathered for dinner like one big happy family.

More like a dysfunctional family.

It has been violent, but you asked for it a bit.

You imprisoned my friend here for years. It wasn't that nice.

But someone has something for someone to show their good will.

- Not too, Gustav? - Yes, lord king. Of course.

I just have to find it.

- Bishop. - There we have it. Thanks.

I know, that you women need these things.

Hair thing.

It is very good and robust.

It is the finest Danish silver, and I promise, -

- that it will last your whole life. Allow me...

- Sit completely still. - Okay.

- I'll probably have to be careful. - Okay.

- Off. - Perfect. Let me see you.

- May I ask for the mirror? - Of course.

It's probably fine. Great. Thanks.

- It is nice. Right, Kristina? - Right.

- Wow. - Great.

Christian and Kristina, That sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

now i have you then we need to talk about something.

It is not easy to say so now I'm just saying it.

The city is not what I expected.

Its condition.

We were besieged for months. Folks cost of living has been sky high.

Of course, but it doesn't work.

It is dirty and full of homeless people.

They are refugees from your wars.

We probably shouldn't point fingers now.

- We're all in the same boat. - In fact.

And allow me…

It hurts me terribly with your husband.

But cannonballs are hard to aim with. We would not...

And I heard about your child.

So tragic. But you need to know, that your people will be happy.

And rich and well-fed.

I will even help the homeless.

Reach. It sounds good.

Now it's probably time for plum cake.

And tomorrow begins three days of friendship celebration.

From all of us to all of you. And now...

Careful with that.

- Do we need anything else? - No. We'll be back.

You gave me this.

Step aside. What a nice room.

It is a very large bed.

You good god.

I could have killed him, Kristina. I had him right there.

Away with it.

Good evening, ladies.

If you do it there now, come you and Johan not alive from here.

Okay. But so soon the friendship celebration is over...

Fair nok.

It's a good book, don't you think?

It's one of my favorites. It has comforted me in these hard times.

- It probably also comforted you. - Yes. Of course I agree.

Do you like your room?

- You can see down to the harbour. - I'm not complaining, lord king.

Eminence, you wanted to talk to me. Can I sit here?

Lord king.

I have heard of many losses of innocent lives under your…

... military operations in this country.

And that Bishop Trolle has actively taken…

... share in some of these episodes.

Can we skip? the one with "lord king"?

Just call me... whatever you want.

But you are right. Bishop Troll is temperamental. Ascending.

But he is a God-fearing man.

Just like you and me.

And he is loyal to the Pope.

And those whose lives were taken, -

- were all enemies of this great union.

- And of the church. - With all due respect...

And they actually imprisoned the great bishop.

Not true? Now we have to put all that behind us.

- And look towards the future. - Yes.

- Do you agree? - Yes.

May the cardinal and I ask for some wine?

I don't drink, my lord the king.

- I mean, I don't drink. - It was a shame.

But just calm down.

I have great respect for a moderate man.

But I hope...

... and want... and expect see you tomorrow for the celebration…

... as my guest of honor.

Eminence.

Down with the pants. Slowly.

Yes. Yes, like that. Yes...

What? What the...?

What are you doing?

What the hell? I want my money back.

You look so different.

Yet...

... is it you.

And.

They are with God now.

- Hello. - Hello.

Then the time has come.

Quietly.

Quietly.

Shut up. Clap, clap, clap, shit!

Clap il. Clap il. Clap in, swine!

Clap in, you deranged scumbags. Dung-ridden Swedes.

Our king.

Dear friends.

Danes, Swedes, brothers, sisters.

I greet you all on this beautiful evening of brotherhood.

Let's not fool ourselves.

- There has been a war. - Yes.

There have been... hostilities.

And people have been wronged.

On both sides.

But I say that tonight we put all that behind us -

- and looking towards the future.

Do not you agree?

- Can I hear a yes? - Yes, lord king.

Kristina. I haven't seen skin like this one for years.

My mother had skin like that.

- Wonderful. - I am the rightful king of the land.

And Denmark's and beautiful Norway's.

But we are the same people. We are one.

And none is more important than anyone else, -

- and I am the righteous father, which ensures, -

- that all my children thrive -

- and fulfills their highest potential.

And now we have to…

... parties!

Excuse me, guys. I can't fucking hear you guys.

- What shall we do now? - Festel.

We're going to party. Cardinal, how are you?

- What should we? - Festel.

You heard the cardinal.

Festl.

- My boyfriend died recently. - It is...

- Had you heard about it? - No.

- I am ready to move on. - That was good.

My subjects should just be allowed to have some fun.

Looks like they're having fun.

Maybe the two of us should form a union.

I knew, that I knew you from somewhere.

When I saw you with him, I was sure.

Wake up stand up you scum!

Over there. Not all that hernia. Over there.

- We are almost ready. - Well.

Get out of the way! Of lane no.

- Move - I have not done anything!

Reach. Gustav, tell them what you told me

I am angry.

Did you hear that? Bishop Troll is... angry.

Yes. Very angry.

I've been angry for a long time.

I think some of you know what I'm talking about.

- What is he talking about? - He has been in prison.

Stars.

Three years ago I was falsely accused -

- for treason by quite a few people, -

- and some of them are here today.

It was a painful one and humbling experience.

I was deposed as archbishop and was imprisoned for years, -

- although the Pope in Rome supported me.

I know about man's treacherous nature, -

- and I can adapt to that, oh God...

God sees everything.

And for him, this was it a deep injustice.

And, I dare say, a heretical deed.

There must be atonement for this. Not to me, -

- but above God himself.

And I expect them to responsible... you know who you are...

... will be punished for their deeds.

It is a very serious charge.

The most serious there is.

And you know that all these people have been granted amnesty.

I know that, lord king.

But unfortunately heresy trumps amnesty.

I guess we should give them the opportunity to defend oneself.

No, lord king, for nothing worldly defense can make a difference.

- Why? - You can defend yourself in heaven.

But it only concerns God, -

- when you are dead.

- Then there is probably nothing more to say. - No.

Lord King, I thought we agreed that these silly offences, -

- which was committed on both sides, we should leave behind.

Besides, my husband is dead, so what else can be done?

There's a lot I can do.

- My power knows no bounds. - Yes.

And I take heresy very seriously.

So do I, lord king.

The decision to deprive Trolls his office as archbishop -

- was unanimously adopted by the Council of State.

You can't accuse us all, can you?

Pardon?

- Yes. - I would like to say something.

I felt pressured to sign, lord king.

Yes. That's easy to say, Mr....?

Brask, sir. Bishop Brask.

It is very easy to just say, so I won't waste time on that.

If you allow...?

Can you see?

What is it?

"To this I felt compelled."

- Yes, lord king. - Was it some kind of peer pressure?

- I was weak. - But smart enough to write this.

- Yes. - Very cunning, Bishop Brask.

Were there others who felt... forced -

- to sign on this document, -

- as wrongfully accused bishop Trolle for treason?

So let's see your Brask messages.

No? I thought so.

Damn idiots.

I hereby declare, -

- that the following are guilty of heresy against our holy church.

- Gustav, do you want to? You have the list. - Certainly, lord king.

Bishop Vincentius Bellenack.

Bishop Mathias Gregersson.

Erik Johansson Vasa.

Måns Gren. Erik Ryning.

Kristiern Bengtsson.

Bengt Gylta.

Erik Nilsson.

Anders Olofsson.

Johan Night and Day.

Peter Adolfsson.

Be brave. I'll get you. Look at me. I promise.

I don't want to say "what did I say".

House arrest for you and worse to you, I'm afraid.

- Peter Staffansson. - I will find you. I promise.

- Find Kristina and get out of here. - Peder Budde.

- You must be brave. - And Sven Johnson.

Eminence. Eminence.

This is an unfortunate mess. let me escort you to your chamber.

There is a small step there.

Lead them away.

Lead them away.

This, this is God's punishment.

Help us, Lord. Give us strength to to do what we now want to do.

Anne!

Okay, gutter.

HIV, HIV, HIV.

And we... we're going to carry out this order?

We mustn't improvise?

You must improvise a bit, Didrik.

- We are not machines. - I am in.

There is just one thing, Didrik.

No priests.

To the convicts? Then they end up in Hell.

In fact.

Ups.

I like that.

God, give us the strength to live every day like it was our last.

Off.

You haven't got cold feet, have you?

Can you...

Can you say something nice about me?

- Something nice? - Yes. Maybe three things.

You have an... elegant nose.

Yes, I guess I have.

And?

I do not know. You...

You are a good friend.

- Am I? - Yes.

- It feels nice. - Well.

And the third thing?

You are the best killer I know.

And...

Didrik.

Let's get into the meat of them.

Move jerl.

Out of the way, you stupid peasant.

Today is a perfect day to a bloodbath.

Ind med temple.

On.

Ladies and gentlemen, You shall fear nothing.

You must not be afraid.

Today will be known -

- like the day, where our noble King Christian -

- liberated Sweden from its abominable heretics!

And!

- And... - Yes.

And.

Up with him!

The king is lying to you. He is a traitor and a liar.

- We haven't even received a verdict. - Do you want a verdict? Then you get one.

Archbishop Vincentius, I hereby sentence you to death -

- for heresy.

You are going to burn in Hell for this.

Maybe. Maybe not. Jürgen.

Cut loose.

Why are you doing this? Why? Tell me that.

- Day ham. - What are you doing?

No, you must not take him.

Neil.

I have a child.

Clap in, piss wiper.

- I have a child. - Treasure!

Shut up! Clap then il.

Are there more complaints?

I'll follow you out of here.

Nestel

I don't feel so good about this.

I'm starting to think it was one bad idea to execute the bishops.

Majesty. They are heretics.

To cut their heads off was a strong signal.

It is the Pope's decision, Gustav. You know that.

The Pope, like everyone else, can steered in the right direction.

- You are also a bishop, right? - Because.

Could you imagine to join them?

You have to sit on the story, before the union-hating pigs do.

Put me on the story.

It sounds like once piss. What does that mean?

You write your own story. It is the king's prerogative.

And we have the perfect messenger for this one.

- Cardinals? - Precious.

The Pope probably hears about it anyway.

It is better, he hears it from us officially.

How do you convince the Cardinal, that our story is true?

There is no one absolute truth.

Only one collection of alternative truths.

We just have to make it ours, he wants to believe.

He seems a bit... ambivalent.

Let me take care of him. I thought, it should be like this.

There was a conspiracy. They wanted to kill the king.

We were attacked by traitors.

And in the ensuing chaos passed away the bishops tragically.

And.

It is easy.

I like it simple, your sly line.

Eminence.

The king, in his goodness, wills send you home in first class.

Please give this to the Pope. In this the king explains, -

- that none of these unfortunates incidents were our intention.

Unfortunately, innocent lives were lost.

You call yourself a godly man.

Look at the totality of it. The king is threatened.

And so is the church.

And if I don't?

Please stay here as our guest of honor, -

- while you think about it.

Eminence.

Those ladies.

Come with me, please.

Lord king.

Farewell, lord king. Tell them.

Ladies, that…

... it behooves me to ask you, how you want to leave here.

How you prefer to die.

You can choose between the sword, the axe, that be burned, buried alive and…

What is the last option, Didrik?

- Gallows. - Oh yeah. The gallows. So five options.

- You promised us amnesty. - Unfortunately, it is out of my hands.

Apparently...

... God's will is another.

You may want to think about it for a while.

So, Sylvester.

In the meantime, ladies, can we…

Let's go for a walk. Have a productive day, Didrik.

Thank you, lord king.

Didrik is very useful.

But he is completely insane.

- Keep an eye on him. - Of course, my lord king.

Oh God.

We want your husband to burn in Hell, madam.

And your son too.

Eternal damnation to them both.

Sylvester.

- Bring them back. - Yes, lord king.

You still have a few hours to make your decision.

- Just calm down. I'll fix it here. - Away.

Hello.

Was it nice to see your family again?

Alone in the dark where you left them.

What a good...

You deranged monster.

Die, you pig, die!

Kristinal.

Hurry up I can't hold him.

For God's sake, Kristinal.

What are you doing? Come on!

Come zero.

Come on, damn it! Help Mr.

This is for my family.

Slagheck...

The best Danish silver.

You must go. I will be here. I can't leave my children.

- What? We'll take them with us. - Impossible.

Everyone in Stockholm is my children. You have to leave before they kill you.

It is okay.

Can I help with anything?

Good morning, Stockholml.

How are you?

On!

I can't hear you. I said: How are you?

Okay, off with them.

- Whose turn is it first? - Ham her.

I will enjoy him here extra.

Put him down.

Johan Night and Day.

You have become sentenced to death for heresy.

Heresy, ladies and gentlemen!

Wish your whore was here and could see it up close.

OK. Jurgen.

Do your thing.

I am counting down.

Trell.

To.

In.

We're committing mass murder here. Are all enemies of the union?

- Are they? - Yes... Most are...

- What have you? Speak up. - Most of them are.

Most of them?

"When entering a new province, You have to get people on your side."

You said that. I think, it sounded wise. It sounded intelligent.

If I may speak freely, I think that the Trolls themselves clean up a bit.

Cleans up...

As said.

I think it's time that we stop.

Yes. Enjoy your beautiful...

- Bridget. - Yes.

Birgitta, it's me, Anne. Close up. I need your help.

Erik Helsing.

He is dead. And the Eriksson lady is gone.

THE MAN WITH THE SCAR

Yes, we'll be fine.

I have arranged it. You know, what we have to. We are leaving tonight.

Freja, help me pack.

My Bible. Thanks.

Save yourselves. speed dial

Hurry up.

- Come on, Birgitta. - I've dealt with enough ugly men.

Sorry for the mess.

The king's order.

Didrik Slagheck. At your service, ma'am.

Nice place you have here.

I'm scum too and I have visited many brothels, -

- and I have the greatest respect for what you do.

Are you going somewhere?

No? Okay.

You don't mind small talk. Fair enough. Then I'm talking straight out of the bag.

Do you see...

Do I have to...?

This morning was one of my good friends murdered, -

- and an important prisoner escaped.

We have investigated the matter and questioned people.

And all that led me here.

You know how rumors go in this part of town.

And I know how easy it is to get people to speak with death threats.

Loyalty no longer exists.

It's a shame.

It can not have been easy for you -

- at give your retarded daughter from you.

That she is with the Eriksson family, while you're in this shithole.

I hope, you are a better whore than mother.

Where are they?

You're right. They have been here.

I gave them some food and some money, and then they set off.

You've seen what we've been up to in the square for the past few days, right?

Because.

And you know I wouldn't hesitate to smash you, right?

- Yes. - Then I'll ask you again.

Where...

...i hekkenfeldt...

...there the?

Is Henrik Slagheck your brother?

- He's my half-brother. - I thought so.

- He has often been here. - Now? Really?

And.

You're a whore boy, aren't you?

And you cried bitter tears, -

- because you whore Westphalian vicar never accepted you.

- And you pissed in the bed. - No.

Your brother doesn't like you.

Your father never liked you.

The king doesn't like you.

I do not like you.

Nobody likes you, Didrik.

Does it not fit?

Take her out and burn her. The depraved whores shall not go to heaven.

It is over now, lord king.

We did the necessary.

Is this really what God wanted?

Mister?

Is this really what God wanted?

He will understand it.

Thank you for doing this.

Hallol.

Stand still.

You are under arrest.

Bad.

Get ready.

Not!

Off.

Forgive me, Lord.

Stop.

Documents?

Have you sold all your chickens?

And now you're going back home?

Luck up.

Off you go.

COPENHAGEN A LITTLE TIME LATER

Mister.

You have to put yourself on the story.

And we have

The Pope probably hears about it anyway.

It is better,

You write your own story.

There is no one absolute truth.

Only one collection

we just have to make it ours,
