Norsemen (Vikingane)

Are you feeling hungry?

I actually had a little snack before we started.

So I'm fine for now.

Do you think you'll be hungry again soon?

Or do people think

we should make something together later, or what?

I'm not really sure what the plan is.

It's just that if people want to have dinner later,

I guess I'll just grab something now.

Because I feel I need

a quick bite or something.

And then we can make something together later.

- Frøya? - Yep?

What do you think about food? Are you hungry? Arvid is hungry.

Maybe we can defile first and then eat later?

I mean, who likes to rape on a full stomach?

The thing with me, which you will experience when we get to Rome,

is that I'm the kind of person who fills a room.

A magnetic personality,

that you can sense has entered the room long before you see him.

Wow.

I haven't noticed much of that yet.

Well, that's how I am.

I just didn't employ it in that Stone Age village of yours.

People wouldn't have understood anyway.

Norheim.

I wonder if they miss us.

If only they knew how little I miss them

and their horrible culture of brutality.

I can't wait to be among like-minded people on the Continent.

Speaking of Rome...

You think we're getting close?

We've been traveling for months. Shouldn't we be there soon?

If I had been a globe-maker or a map-drawer,

I probably would have been able to answer that question.

But all we can do is follow the sun.

Since the sun always points south, we just have to trust it, yes?

By Loki, this is so nice!

What a perfect day.

You know what?

It's so important to be able to stop

and just take it all in.

Yeah.

Just be present in the moment.

That's so true.

What a place this is, huh?

Yeah, we were just talking about it.

We should just

settle here.

Fertile soil. Weak enemies. Lots of treasures.

That's what we should do.

We should settle down here and establish a colony, or something.

Look at this!

The gods must be so pleased with us.

This is the third day in a row that we find a campsite

with a fire pit and everything.

See?

Once you get just a little further south on the Continent,

everything improves markedly.

I don't think old Norway sets up campsites and stuff like that for their people.

Up there in that pile of rocks

it's all about putting as many sticks as possible in people's wheels.

Am I the only one who thinks this campsite looks suspiciously like yesterday's?

This has to be the same place.

I slept right there.

Liv...

Stop complicating things. Please.

I mean, how different can two campsites be?

Yes. A campsite is a campsite.

Yes?

We burned the village to the ground.

Or, what was left of it.

Seems like they've been pillaged a good number of times already.

Oh, really?

It actually seems like they've been pillaged so many times

that they've stopped rebuilding.

They just sat there when we attacked.

Didn't seem like they cared one way or the other if they were being pillaged.

This is all the loot we got.

Rats?

This turnip actually doesn't taste half bad.

This is so miserable, Torstein!

Pillaging here in the East

is so passé.

Yeah, it has become kind of mainstream.

Oh yeah.

It felt like we just had to steal something,

just to make it seem like we knew what we were doing.

Bundle up whatever slaves we have.

Tonight we sail

for Norway!

I don't know. I'm kind of starting to doubt this whole endeavor.

- Doubt? - Yeah.

No, you're going to be famous!

The chieftain's wife who decided to abandon a life of fortune

to bum around with two outlaws.

Yeah. That commands respect.

The thing is, I'm not a chieftain's wife anymore.

Sure you are!

Chieftain's wife is not a title they can take away from you.

- Arvid kind of did. - No, no.

As strong as women's rights are now,

in the Viking Age,

I think Arvid can't dump you like a bad habit.

You know, if I were you, I'd seek legal help.

Because I think you have a pretty strong case.

And now you tell me?!

Yes. But anyway, that's water under the bridge now.

As I've decided to start saying.

Because now we're almost there.

What was that?

Is anyone there?

My intuition tells me it's nothing to worry about.

No one's there. We're all alone...

Sturla Bonecrusher?

Old buddy!

You sure gave us a fright.

This must be the craziest coincidence ever!

Old acquaintances meeting by chance

in a completely unlikely place.

But don't just stand there, Sturla. Sit down.

Take a load off before I take it off for you.

Have some rodent.

Or two.

Raids are great.

But I'm sure it will be nice to come home again, too.

I think I prefer to be on a raid.

I guess the situation at home is a little... messy.

Since we're kind of boyfriend and girlfriend.

And I live together with Hildur and she's pregnant and all that.

Yeah.

It's...

A little messy.

But if that baby in her stomach is mine, I feel like I kind of have to be there.

What do you mean, if the baby's yours?

It is, isn't it?

Loki if I know. I was thinking about it.

And when I look back,

I don't think she came.

OK?

I mean, I came by the bucket.

Crazy amounts

of seed in her.

But I don't think she came.

Or climaxed, or whatever it's called.

And in that case,

the baby can't be mine.

I don't know if the woman has to cum in order to make a baby.

Or maybe she does.

That would explain why I never had a baby with Orm.

So...

How are you filling your days, Sturla,

after your little mutiny in Norheim?

I capture outlaws.

And sell them as slaves.

Human trafficking?

Well, I guess somebody's gotta do it.

We're heading to Rome.

Away from the frigid north.

To more southern climes.

You haven't gotten very far.

Yes, we have.

Norheim is three day's march from here. So, no.

Three day's march?

We've spent two months on a three-day march?

By Odin, you two!

Us two?

Excuse me.

If anyone is to blame here, it almost has to be the sun.

Because that's what we followed.

What are you three actually doing out here

in the middle of the forest?

Good question.

I guess you could say a number of unfortunate circumstances

led to the result of us becoming...

Orm!

Outlaws.

But that needs to remain our little secret.

So you have no legal protection?

Everyone can do what they want with you?

In theory, yes.

But hardly likely in practice.

OK.

Talk to you later, folks.

Don't let anyone steal your dreams.

No.

And...

Rome isn't a dream.

It's a reality. Any minute now.

Come on. We have to get away from here before he comes back.

Liv, you always think the worst of people.

The Bonecrusher may be a little rough around the edges,

but deep down there's a heart of gold.

You don't have a heart of gold if you're called the Bonecrusher.

Liv...

You do realize that we have to get away now?

What we realize, is that we need to sleep. Because it's been a very long day.

I can get real grumpy tomorrow if I don't get enough sleep.

And that's not a threat. It's simply a warning for your own good.

By Thor and Odin, how hard can it be to keep up the pace?
