Ragnarok (Gåten Ragnarok) (Gåten Ragnarok)

- I don't like this. - It is the will of Odin.

It's not right, father.

Prepare yourselves!

Your greed will doom us all.

Father ...

Go back.

Behind you!

- Hello. - Morning.

Brage, have you been on my computer again?

There were loads of those strange emails again.

- Spam? - Yes. Ragnhild?

I've told you to buy a new one.

Two. Because you owe me one.

Guess we're taking the bus today.

Well, you guys are overdressed.

Is it anyone's birthday today?

No. It's graduation.

Ragnhild is going to sing.

Yes... It's three o'clock today. In the gym?

It will be ace. Ok, see you then.

Do you know what time it is?

It is 22 minutes past nine.

We're talking about over a million dollars here. Three more years of research.

And you?

Stick to the facts.

Yes, sure.

Facts.

The Oseberg ship represents

the largest and most spectacular Viking find in history.

In this wonderful tumulus we found the remains of

what we think is the Queen Aasa and her serf.

The Oseberg discovery has given us an unique understanding of this period.

However, we are constantly making new discoveries.

Since the reconstruction, the common perception has been that

the ship was used only for short trips

around Toensberg.

But on the keel boards of the ship we found these.

These are microscopic shells.

And they're only found outside the coast of Finnmark.

So, ladies and gentlemen ...

The Oseberg Vikings may have been in Finnmark.

And that is absolutely stunning.

Totally up in Finnmark !

Disregarding the shells, do you have any more evidence of this?

Is this all you have?

Is this what we've spent our money on?

Obviously there are other things we could mention.

Yes?

Let's hear it, then.

What you must understand is that Oseberg tumulus is completely different

than anything else we've found.

Everything you see in this room

was buried with the Viking Queen Aasa.

You'd think they'd made it easy for us to understand, but it has not.

For these are the only runes

they found on the ship.

"Litet vis maor."

Man ...

knows ...

little.

The largest Viking-find in the world, and the only thing they would tell us was:

Man knows little.

So what was it they knew

that we do not?

We found the heads of five animals in the grave. Aasa was cradling this one in her arms.

And this here ...

It might look like it's just a pattern.

But it is not.

I have studied this for years.

And it is not accidental.

These ...

are runes.

and what it says here ...

Ragnarok.

- Come again? - Ragnarok. Doomsday.

We have never before found "Ragnarok" written in runes anywhere.

I think Aasa knew much more than we realize.

She died with a secret.

There lies in the Oseberg tumulus

the answer to the riddle of Ragnarok .

We know what it means.

- The world's downfall. - That's what everyone thinks.

I think the origins of the myth about Ragnarok was a real event.

Something happened. Something that was so big

that it changed throughout the Norse mythology ...

Oh, come on!

This is so far-fetched.

"Man knows little." Ain't that the truth!

Sorry, but Sigurd has gone a little ...

If we knew it was this kind of nonsense our money was being spent on,

we had withdrawn our financial support several years ago.

This is simply too foolish. Enough is enough.

We have no evidence to support that is what you say!

I haven't told you anything. I can go through all the documentation with you.

I'm not the only one who believes this. Maren ...

Maren's dead. We're all sorry about that. But that was six years ago.

Five years ago.

You have hardly been outside the office since.

Do you have any idea what Allan is doing up there in Finnmark?

There's going to be an open position for a guide in the fall.

I suggest that you apply for it, Sigurd.

I had that meeting at work today.

It took more time than ...

than I had thought.

Have you and Ragnhild fallen out?

No.

She's probably just upset for the graduation business.

It is not so easy on your own.

No.

But there are other fish in the sea.

- Ok. Where? - On the Internet.

Brage?

- Oops, I fat-fingered a button. - No, you didn't.

What did you write about me?

I wrote that you are an archaeologist and you like all things Viking.

Okay. And did you write how old I am?

Yes ...?

I got a message from a woman who's 57.

57?

Do you think that's a good match?

No.

Dad?

Where are we going for vacation?

Hey.

Come in.

Where are we going for our summer holiday?

- I haven't ... - Maiken is going to the Mediterranean.

- So is Gunnar is. - Gunnar is Gunnar.

I must admit that I was thinking

that maybe our cabin would be nice?

We're not going to the cabin!

Let's go to the Mediterranean and have a real holiday?

- I want to bring my snorkel and dive in the ocean. - You can swim in the pond at the cabin.

You like that. Come on! We have lots of good memories from the cabin.

You have.

Come on, Brage. It's time for bed.

- Did you brush up top? - Um ... yes?

"Uh ... yes?" Does that mean you haven't?

- Maybe. - Did you brush in the back?

Yes, I did.

Anything the matter?

I just think that you're probably right. We need some sun.

Maybe experience something new, you know.

I won't believe it until I see it, dad.

Good night.

It's probably just PMS. I hope I don't get it.

- Sleep well, then. - Good night.

Hey. Why aren't you answering your phone?

- Have you stopped reading your mail? - Did you talk with the museum guys?

Whatever. I was going to come and show you this anyway.

- There have been things happening her today. - Nothing is more important than this.

There's no point trying to use a car to find the places where Viking ships might have docked.

It is completely out of the question. Can't believe we didn't think of that!

I can do it.

I was about to give up. Then I rented a boat.

Started to thread my way up the coast.

And there it was!

For three years I have been up and down the coast of Finnmark

Without finding so much as a sea urchin fossil.

And then ...

Huh?

- Would you get it out. - Ok.

- Will you grab the bag? - Yes. Get it out.

A rune stone.

Get my stuff. They're over by that globe there.

I'll be there when we present it. I found it, right?

- Museum guide? As if. - What?

- Henriksen stopped the project today. - Why?

We won't get any more money. He doesn't believe in all this.

We don't give two shits about Henriksen! He'll just slow us down, anyway.

Those aren't words, you know.

Look at that. It's like it's in code.

It is as if we are missing something.

- There is something in the middle here. - What?

What in the world?

It looks kinda familiar, huh?

Hey, this might actually be illegal.

You work here, you know.

Suddenly it feels like trespassing.

Trespassing? You've got the key! You're supposed to lock up.

That wasn't hard, now was it?

- If Henriksen finds out ... - He's not going to get all the credit for this.

I just want to know your secret.

Forgive me.

There must be some kind of code key. Just have to get it right ...

It must be there.

- Yes, here it is. - What?

It's indicating that the O

is an A.

R ...

- is a N. - Can you write this down somewhere?

M ...

So if ...

"Aasa raised the stone ... "

" ... in memory of her father. "

"the King of Vestfold."

"As ... "

"As in folly went ... "

" ... to find god ... "

" ... gods ... godpower ... the power of the gods... "
