All language subtitles for Ronja eps05.eng(1)

[explosion]

The entrance has collapsed.
We won't get in or out.

What happened?

They took the horses.

[Borka yells]

[Undis] Is this all you bring home?

With horses, it's difficult,

without horses, it's hopeless.

Winter has just begun.

[Cappa] Mattis has a daughter.
If we take her, Mattis will come to us.

Here's a little reminder.

Help me and I'll make sure
your sister and nephew get through winter.

- Why are you giving us this?
- You need it.

Stab me in the back
and I'll exile them too.

Get the girl out now.

[Ronja] Why don't you like snow?

[Mattis] I have
bad memories of the first snow.

What happened? I want to know.

Maybe when you're older.

May she be safe.
If anything happens to her...

[Ronja screams]

[wile-wing screeching]

[Ronja gasping]

[wile-wing hisses softly]

- [snarling]
- [gasps]

Pretty little human.

[growling]

Food for the little ones.

I'll take you...

- ...piece by piece.
- [Ronja gasps]

Birk!

[wile-wing shrieking in pain]

Let her go!

[shrieks, snarls]

Little human child...

[screeching]

[wile-wing] We'll meet again.

[Ronja] Birk!

[wile-wing screeching faintly]

[Ronja sobs] Birk.

Shouldn't you be heading
home, Robber's Daughter?

Don't leave me.

Never leave me.

[rump-goblins chattering]

Let's see if I can free you.

[rump-goblin 1] Another one!

[rump-goblin 2] Little boy.

Getting snow in his eyes.

Why is she doing this?

Try now. Now. [grunts]

[rump-goblins muttering]

- [Birk grunts]
- [gasps, sighs]

- No more roof.
- Why are they doing this?

[indistinct chattering]

[Ronja grunts]

[Ronja sighs]

Thank you.

[uplifting music playing]

[sighs]

- Hey, Birk...
- Yes?

I wish you were my brother.

I can be, if you want.

Robber's daughter.

I do.

But only if you call me Ronja.

Ronja.

Sister mine.

[bird chirping]

[Ronja sighs]

- [Mattis] Hey.
- Hi.

[fire crackling]

[Ronja exhales]

- You were out for a long time today.
- Yes, I was.

Did you have a good day?

Quite good.

[Mattis grunts]

[Ronja] Hmm.

What happened?

Did you hurt yourself?

No.

I just hit a branch skiing.

It's nothing.

Skully-Per says
it's the start of real winter.

So you can't be out anymore.

I will miss it.

But the beautiful part is
that when spring comes,

the Mattis Woods
will be free of Borka swine.

[Mattis chuckles]

[heroic theme music playing]

BASED ON ASTRID LINDGREN'S BOOK

RONJA THE ROBBER'S DAUGHTER

[music fades]

- That's nice, this. If you...
- Yeah, yeah, I know.

Have you seen Ronja today?

[Skully-Per] She's sleeping in.

- She's not out of bed?
- No.

[conversation continues indistinctly]

What's the matter with you?
Why aren't you up, jumping around?

I'm too tired.

Come on.

No. I don't want to.

You're not sick, are you?

I think so.

Well, then it's good that you keep warm.

Like you should when you're sick.

I'm sure I'll be up and about again soon.

Of course you will be.

[panicked breathing]

Lovis.

Lovis!

[sheep bleating]

Lovis.

Lovis!

Why aren't you with your sick child?

Because the sheep needed tending to.

You go to Ronja
with your herbs and potions.

If she's still alive.

She has a fever, Mattis.

[emotionally] That's how it starts.

And then it gets worse.

And then she'll be taken from me!

[Mattis sobbing]

You don't know what it feels like
to lose your dearest little lamb. [sobs]

[bleats]

[Mattis sobs]

[sheep baaing]

They had young this spring.

They're all hanging,
salted and smoked, in the stores.

[sheep bleats]

Of course you know what it feels like.

I'm sorry.

[Ronja] Ugh.

Lovis.

Yes, child.

Why do Borka and Mattis hate each other?

What makes you think that?

I've got time to think about things.

When I'm laying here, sick.

Mattis' father and Borka's fathers

had been enemies
for as long as anyone could remember.

No one remembered why anymore.

It was just the way it was.

They liked each other a lot,
Mattis and Borka.

But they had to meet in secret.

It would've been like
a sledgehammer blow to his head,

if Mattis' father found out
his son was friends with a Borka robber.

- But they saw each other anyway.
- How?

Mattis made a hole in the wall.

In the fortress's deepest chambers.

Behind it was a tunnel
through the mountain.

That's where they kept meeting.

Best friends want to be together.

And they were only children.

Then that winter came.

[squeaking]

[mouse squealing]

[boys laughing]

- Borka swine!
- [slaps]

[Mattis] No, Father!

Mattis' father made Mattis promise
to never see him again.

[sad music playing]

[Lovis] But they kept seeing each other,

Mattis and Borka.

As often as they could.

Until one day, Borka betrayed him

and led soldiers into the fortress
through their secret entrance.

[soldiers yelling]

[metal clanging]

What happened?

They managed to drive
the soldiers from the fortress.

But three of Mattis' father's robbers
gave their lives.

And some soldiers as well.

But worst of all was Mattis' mother.

[mournful music playing]

Did she survive?

[Lovis] And that was
the end of their friendship.

And since that day, Mattis has hated
everything to do with Borka robbers.

Deceiving, unreliable bastards,
the lot of them.

But that was a long time ago.

Surely there's someone
who isn't a deceiving scoundrel?

Mattis would be furious
if he knew you even thought about it.

Forget about it right now.

Rest now.

Mattis doesn't need to know
what we've spoke about.

[kisses]

[sighs]

[shoveling]

[men grunting]

You can go inside.

Borka may be dumber than a pig,

but not even he will try to fight
with snow up to his armpits.

He's got other things to worry about.

[Mattis laughs]

[Undis] This won't last long.

[wind whistling]

How long have you lived here?

All my life.
Our parents built the cottage.

They wanted us to move, Chegge and I.

This village has decided
we're good for nothing.

You've lived here all your life,
you must have friends.

I lost the few I had when Chegge stole.

- I've never really had a friend.
- Never?

Well, once...

we lived for almost a year
in a cottage by a moor.

Cappa was injured and needed to heal.

That's the longest
we've ever stayed in one place.

I'd be very happy to be your friend.

If you'd like.

I would like that.

[squeaking]

[men chatting indistinctly]

No.

Those who stood guard eat first.

Your skinny body
doesn't look like it needs much.

But I'm hungry.

That was unnecessary.

I'm hungry too.

And grumpy.

[grunts]

Ronja, my little dove.

- You're well again.
- Mm.

Mwah! This calls for a celebration.

Is there anything you want?
I'll do anything to get it for you.

Nothing you can give me.

Do you know what she means?

Me? No. I don't know anything.

[Ronja] Stop snowing!

[dice shaking, clattering]

[Skully-Per] Ronja! It's your turn.

- When is it spring again?
- [chuckles] That's still a while off.

Well, what will happen in spring?

I can get out of here.

[Skully-Per grunts]

You win.

Oh! We haven't finished playing.

I have.

[sighs]

[wind blowing]

[Ronja grunting]

[dog barking in distance]

How much are you giving her?

As much as she needs.

You're there a long time
when you deliver the food.

Yeah, we talk. She's my friend.

Fancy that.

I'm happy for you, but we're not
staying here, you know that.

But can't I be happy for a little while?

[door opens, closes]

[child crying faintly]

[panting]

[bird chirping]

If you want something, you poor wretches,
show yourselves.

That's what I thought.

[Skully-Per] This is a dead end.

[Ronja] "This is a dead end."

"All this came crashing down
the night you were born."

It did?

Yes, it did. [chuckles]

[faint whistling]

Birk!

[hopeful music playing]

[Ronja grunting]

[Ronja grunting]

[grunting]

[robbers laughing, chatting indistinctly]

[laughing]

[Mattis] Good night, my dove.

[rooster crowing]

[music continues]

[groans]

[Ronja grunts happily]

[Ronja groaning]

[grunting]

[straining]

[Birk whistling a tune]

[Ronja whistling]

[Birk whistling]

[Ronja] Birk!

[Birk] Ronja! Sister mine,
It's good to hear your voice.

- I'd like to see you as well.
- We can!

I've made it so we can.

- Climb over the rocks--
- [door banging]

I'll see you here tomorrow.

[blows]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Skully-Per] Is this where you've been?

[cheerfully] This is where I've been.

Mattis asked us to look for you.
What are you doing down here?

[Ronja] Uh...

Well, sometimes I want to be alone.

You can't spend
all your time out in the snow.

Oh, heavens, no.

You should keep away
from snow and bathwater.

I've always said so.

But you can play dice night and day.

- You can always play dice.
- Ah! Yes, you can.

- Huh?
- [Skully-Per] It's your turn.

Right.

[dice rattling]

[Ronja] Three, four, five, six, seven...

Eight, I win!

No, I had ten.

I had ten.

- But now the one with the least wins.
- Yes. [chuckles]

[rousing music playing]

Birk?

[whistling]

[indistinct chatter]

[Lovis] Would you like some more?

[grunts]

[grunts]

[groans]

[Lovis] Hey!

Out!

Huh?

It's cold outside.

So you like heat?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Then stay,
and you'll be in real hot water.

[Chorm giggling]

[grunting]

- [Mattis clears throat]
- [gasps]

[Chorm chewing] Mmm! Mmm!

[humming]

[ominous tone playing]

Birk!

I've been waiting for you.

And I've been waiting for you.

Ever since you saved me
from the Great Wile-Wing.

You haven't changed.

Just a little paler.

What's happened to you?

Nothing.

I just haven't eaten very much.

Don't you have enough food?

It's a long time since
anyone was full in Borka Keep.

[Ronja] Here.

Eat if you're hungry.

[gulping]

Weren't you going to eat that?

There's more at home.

Why don't you have any food?

When winter came, we couldn't hunt,
because we lost our horses.

Mattis took them.

And even if we had caught something big...

we couldn't get it into the fortress.

It's our fault you're hungry.

Your father's, maybe.

Not yours.

Do you smell how dirty I am?

[Ronja inhales] Oh.

Sometimes we haven't been able
to dig the stream out.

We drink melted snow, but we can't bathe.

It doesn't matter
if you're dirty and lousy.

But I don't want you to be hungry.

We're all hungry.

It's cold here
when you're not hauling rocks.

Maybe we should go back up to the heat.

Yes, maybe.

- I'll see you again tomorrow.
- I'll see you again tomorrow.

[Ronja] Mm.

[chuckles]

[joyful music playing]

Hold your nose.

What's wrong?

Your mind has been somewhere else all day.

I'm thinking about the water.

What about the water?

That we have a well.

And can get as much as we want.

Oh.

That's all.

There.

You're louse-free again for a while.

Mattis, your turn.

No. I don't want to.

[Lovis] Uh-huh.

[robbers chuckling]

I'm chief. I decide.

And I decide
that I won't be combed for lice.

There's another thing you can decide,

while you're sitting there,
deciding things.

What's that?

If you want to sleep
next to your 12 filthy, lousy robbers,

or with me.

[robbers chuckling]

[robber] Well, go on then.

Ow!

Ow.

Not so hard. Ow!

Lovis...

[robbers snoring]

[snores, mumbles]

[exciting tense music playing]

[music fades]

Where's Ronja?

Oh, she's around here somewhere.

Yes, but where?

She gets up, disappears
and doesn't come back until evening.

As usual, in other words.

Yes, but then she's in the forest.
What is she doing?

She's running around here somewhere.

Here you go.

What's this?

I can give you food.

I don't know how
I didn't think of that earlier.

Borka would be furious if he found out
I'd accepted food from you.

Fill the stores a little at a time,
and they won't notice.

If only Borka hadn't betrayed Mattis...

What do you mean?

That's why they hate each other.

Because Borka betrayed Mattis.

That's not what I heard.

But it doesn't matter.

Yes, tell me!

What did you hear?

That's them.

I am your brother.
I will never betray you.

[music resumes]

[Mattis] Cold, cold, it's cold.

[door opening]

[Ronja gasps]

[Mattis humming]

[Mattis] Mm-hmm.

[Mattis] Mmm!

[liquid pouring]

[Mattis chuckling]

[sniffing]

[sighs]

Mm-hmm.

- It feels like I'm stealing from you.
- I feel like I'm stealing from Mattis.

But he wants me to be a robber, so eat.

It's not much longer.

It'll be spring soon.

See. Either vermin are
stealing our food, or it's disappearing.

What do you mean?

More seems to disappear
than what we're getting out.

It's here one moment, and then it isn't.

- And we didn't just eat it?
- No, I don't think so.

What's disappearing most?

Grain, bread, meat... Everything, really.

Here's what we'll do.

[calculated music playing]

First, we make sure.

And then, someone will be in real trouble.

[Flit crying]

[dice shaking]

[melancholy music playing]

[Sturkas] How are you doing, Chegge?

What's on your mind?

It's cold.

[chuckles]

If you're cold, just go sit by the fire.

Yeah.

I mean...

It's hard, making it through the winter.

Don't worry, we'll manage.
We have more than enough.

Yes, we have enough.

We have enough.

[shivering]

[ice creaking, cracking]

- [gasps]
- [splashing]

[music continues]

[music fades]

Does she know why?

Why what?

Why she's been fed all winter.

To survive.

Or what do you mean?

Do you know why she's been fed all winter?

To survive.

So we've just been nice to her?

What have you done?

Nothing.

I've kept Chegge's sister alive out of
the kindness of my heart, apparently.

Get going, before spring arrives.

[man 1] What's she doing here?

- [man 2] Get out.
- [man 1] Get out of our town.

[man 2] Shoo away. Shoo away!

- [man 1] She's disgusting.
- [man 2] Get away.

[man 1] Get away from here.

Solve?

Solve?

No!

No...

[sobbing] No. No, Flit...

No, no, no...

- Here.
- Thank you, sister mine.

You're so kind.
I've never seen anything like it.

You're my brother.

You can't let your brother starve.

If they only knew who
kept them alive through winter.

But you can't tell them.

Mattis would...

No. I don't even dare think
of what he would do.

[calculated music playing]

Damned thieves.

[groaning]

Sturkas, Lovis.

Come here!

Four loaves of bread and the meat is gone.

Someone's taking our food.

Who? No one's getting in through the snow.

That's exactly it.

Impossible. No one would do that.

Mattis, no one would do that.
You know that.

You've known us all for ages.

Not quite all.

[blowing]

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]
