ERIC - Viking.
In the year 1000 from the Nativity of Christ.
During your bold journeys across the Atlantic.
Vikings opened Forested land,
which was called Wineland, the land of wine.
Thanks to the detected in our days of testimony
we know that this land was America.
Vikings!
Forward!
Kill him!
Back, woman.
A friend of mine...
For me this is the end.
Thorstein, listen to me.
When I'm gone,
you will be the new leader.
You will find in my box...
my will.
My son Eyolf
will never be worthy of the name that I leave to him.
I want Eric, my nephew,
was always with him.
He is the most worthy...
My sword.
"My successor, Thorstein,"
after my death, must fulfill my last will.
All my property must be divided
between my son Eyolf and my nephew Eric.
I give them my swords, my axes and all my gold.
My son Eyolf inherits my house,
and my nephew Eric inherits my Drakkar.
Both of my heirs must swear that they will be friends
and fix this oath with blood.
So that Odin chases and punishes
the one who will change the oath.
One, the god of heaven and earth,
seas and winds,
inspired these last wishes,
let the spirit of our leader find continuation in his heirs.
And they will be worthy successors
the great Thorvald.
One!
For your health.
I thank you, Thorstein.
Goodbye, Eyolf.
Thorvald was a wise man. Eric will be great help for Eyolf.
You do not eat. Are you dissatisfied with something?
My compatriot Aesop would not approve of
union between a wolf and a lamb.
It's true.
You do not understand this.
And you?
I? I also.
Eric!
I knew I'd find you here.
Now I have my own Drakkar, Gudrid.
Do you want to travel?
Of course. My dream has come true.
Dreams are different from reality.
Come on, Goodrid.
It's not just a dream. Tell me, where the sun is born?
There, for you.
Where does it go?
There, on the other side.
And so every day.
The sun moves around the Earth and illuminates it where it passes.
Hence, nowhere is there room
where the night is eternal.
I don't know. Nobody dared go there.
The elders say that Odin's eternal night reigns there.
Another proof:
When winter approaches and the sky is covered with clouds
birds fly thousands in this direction.
And in the spring, they come back even more numerous.
Can there be an eternal night?
No, Goodrid.
There are lives and sun. I have to go there.
You can not go against our customs.
Even if you are right, the trip must be dangerous.
And you would leave the people you love
and who love you?
Life in this country is becoming more and more difficult.
The damned Danes invade our fjords,
bringing their own customs and imposing their god.
I want to discover new lands.
The world knows my name.
And no one else will talk about the spot on my birth.
Bastard.
My father leveled me in rights with this illegitimate child.
Silence.
Not so loud.
Erik has many friends.
I'd like to hear from you, Bjarni.
You know my plans.
Thanks to the wealth of my father, I could marry Goodride.
She has no brothers, and Thorstein is already old.
And one day, I would become the ruler of Tordem.
And you would be with me.
Eric is standing in my way.
This obstacle can be eliminated.
Kill Eric...
Will you do this for me, Olaf?
One puzzled your mind.
You know our laws.
Kill the enemy in battle and Odin will reveal to you Valhalla,
Kill one of your own and his curse will fall on you.
Who would have saved me?
If everything had been revealed, would you have saved me from exile?
Then why this dispute?
There is someone who could do it.
Go home, Eyolf.
Take some of the gold you inherited from Torvald...
and wait for us on the edge of the village.
Go on.
The weapons of the great Thorvald were in good hands,
it knew only victory.
Look how it shines.
Enough light of the moon to make it shine.
Tomorrow you will return to the village and you will wait for my return.
No, Eric. Our law will not allow this.
A disgraced woman no longer has the right to live in a village.
Even if the violence was committed by the enemy.
This should change!
One day the world learns about Eric Viking.
Do you really want to leave?
More than ever.
I have a Drakkar thanks to the generosity of your brother Torvald.
This is the fate of all mothers.
See how their children grow up and leave.
Live in anxiety and anticipation.
And when the foghorn announces the arrival,
burn your eyes,
peeping, whether you are on the returning Drakkar.
Let Odin protect you, my son.
Judging by the price it should be a significant person.
What is his name?
Eric, nephew of Torvald.
I know him.
Have agreed. If you hurry, you can be there at sunrise.
He lives with his mother on a high promontory.
And if it's a failure?
If I were you, I would not have met him alone.
I will bring people.
The main thing is not to leave any traces.
You can not let truth come up.
Do you think Gunnar will talk about you?
Calm down, tomorrow, I will be far away.
Hurry, do not lose time.
A bunch of lazy people!
Get up!
When?
At dawn.
Are you scared, Eyolf?
Oath...
Odin...
You're a coward, Eyolf.
Olaf, cancel the deal.
No, wait.
Let me go!
Eric!
Damn!
This time, we will not spare you, Gunnar.
Your expulsion from our village
did not moderate your violence.
As you so quickly learned,
that Eric inherited the wealth of Torvald?
And the truth. Someone had to tell you about it.
No, no one told me anything.
You are lying.
You knew that you would find gold,
otherwise you would not go there.
Enough.
We will not learn anything from him.
Execute him!
Wait. Listen, Eric...
Leave my life and I...
Are you warriors or rags?
This robber wanted to kill one of our brave warriors,
and you spend time asking questions?
That's how they punish such a criminal.
Such worms must be crushed, not judged...
Who dares to condemn me?
Calm yourself, Bjarni. No one condemns you.
Thorstein!
The Danish vessel entered the fjord and goes to us.
Take it away.
"We, Christian I,."
By God's mercy the sovereign king of Denmark,
in connection with the attacks of the Vikings on neighboring villages,
Decide that, from the present moment,
half of the income of each raid
must be transferred to our treasury.
In addition, any Drakkar that comes out of this fjord,
will have to take a course on the Danish ports.
Anyone who breaks the order
or will not obey him,
will be declared a rebel against our will,
his village will be destroyed,
and its inhabitants are hijacked...
That's enough! This is violence,
which we will never obey.
The King of Denmark demanded that we pay him tribute,
and we obeyed.
He demanded the inviolability of its shores, and we observed it.
But he can not forbid us to swim freely.
I will tell the king that you refuse to obey the edict.
We will never submit to this.
You will tell the king, that I, Thorstein, head of the village of Tordem,
I will give him an answer no later than in 30 days.
It must be killed
and send his head in response to the king of Denmark.
Ambassador, not touched,
Even if he reports bad news.
It is better to die than to lose freedom!
Let's defend freedom!
War to the Danes!
Wait! Listen to me!
I also, would like to put an end to Danish arrogance,
but how many of us? One village.
And how many Danes? Great people.
We can not win the war with them.
And you, my cousin, say this?
Do not worry, Eyolf. I'm not a traitor...
What I propose will require much greater courage,
than just meeting with the enemy in open combat.
Let me, Thorstein,
go to the sea to the place where no one else has ventured to go.
I will find the land beyond the seas,
which will become our new homeland and we will live there free.
Your inspiration, Eric,
will not be able to destroy the darkness,
Odin's night reigns there.
This is after the edict of the King of Denmark, we are waiting for a black night.
How do you intend to make this trip?
How? Are you sure you'll find volunteers?
You too, Bjarni.
I am happy that such a courageous warrior will be with us.
Your hand will be of great help.
I trust you, Eric.
No, Eyolf.
One of us must stay.
We'll share the success with you, I swear.
We'll take two sails, a spare mast,
and food for 60 days per person.
Why did you do this?
You should not have...
Do you think?
If someone tries to prevent Eric from returning
from this long, full-perilous journey,
what will you do for him?
You will rule with me, Bjarni.
I need you, your advice,
in your power.
Let's go from here, we are watched.
The keel is excellent.
Doubt whether it will reach the land.
No, you can walk to the edge of the world.
It is there that we will sail.
Ah, Arperopoulos!
Last night, I was scared, but the night is a good adviser!
What happened?
I'll go with you.
Have you heard, guys? What will we answer him?
We have a Viking squad,
will not we be a burden to the man of the south.
I'm Greek, my ancestors swam long before
as you, the Vikings, have learned this.
Shut up, you insolent fellow!
How about a good bath?
I know how to swim in the water, not in the water.
In water!
No!
All, enough, let go!
Enough this time, but you still watch your words.
It's impossible, speech is my favorite weapon.
Take me, Eric, I speak both Greek and Latin...
Surely you need an interpreter.
What a ridiculous was the thought of Torvald to shelter you here.
Torvald was a brave hero and sage,
Who taught him, that fat protects from animal bites?
"Argeropoulos!" - Well done.
And that the dove, which is released to freedom,
always comes home.
Argeropoulos!
Who discovered him...
Ah, enough! You still say that he created the sky...
instead of Odin.
Maybe it's really worth taking you with.
Thank you, Eric. Thank you.
Excuse me. Sorry.
What are you laughing at?
Wait!
Take it, Eric. I raised them for you.
Let the color of pigeons matter.
Release the red one during the voyage and I'll know that you're all right.
In case of victory - white.
And I will rejoice for you.
And if your comrades release black...
I will know that I must mourn you.
Good-bye, Goodrid. You know how happy I am.
Do not be afraid, I'll be back quickly.
Let Odin protect your journey
and let the winds blow your sails,
so that you will return unharmed.
Thank you, Thorstein.
He is trapped.
Ready, friends?
Gribite!
Raise the sail!
Olaf, look!
Do not be a sailor,
to know, that the seagulls are flying near the land.
Yes, the land of the dead.
Do you believe in our journey?
I believe what I see, and I see the water.
I always said that you are a big fool.
Be ready.
Eric.
Bjarni.
I can not fall asleep.
However, I do not know why to relax,
if we laze aboard.
But you seem tired.
No, do not deny it.
From the beginning of the voyage you are standing at the helm.
I rest a bit during the day.
In addition, I am the instigator of this enterprise,
me and sacrifice myself.
Of course.
But let me take your place.
You can trust me.
If you want to. But remember...
Yes, keep the steering wheel, following this star.
Go, do not be afraid. You have to relax.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
Look where you're coming, cattle.
I'm behind water, I'm thirsty.
Water is there.
Oh yes.
Many days the vikings sailed.
When the wind disappeared,
they continued the campaign, going on the oars
over the boundless ocean.
Narvik.
Take the steering wheel.
Vikings, stop.
Listen to me.
I'm sure the earth is not far away.
Until now, you courageously endured hardship,
But it is necessary to suffer still.
Our trek will bring us new land and freedom.
But to achieve success
I have to reduce the consumption of water and food.
Now row.
The moment has almost come.
One,
god of heaven and sea,
send us the breath of your winds.
Water...
Arald, take his place.
Water.
Water!
I want to drink.
Let's go back!
Row! Row!
Eric, the wind!
Raise the sail.
Alone, thank you for this mercy.
Lower the sail!
Or the mast will break.
The wrath of Odin is ruthless.
Turn in the wind.
I'm in charge here. I decide what to do.
Come back to your place.
Let's see who is in charge.
Earth! Earth!
Look.
Look there, guys. Earth!
Earth!
Wait! Earth!
Stand still.
Eric, look at that.
Earth! Eric, this is the earth!
You were right. I'm sorry, Eric.
Be brave, boys, the storm is subsiding.
At dawn we will be on dry land.
Listen, Bjarni. We'll go there.
And you, pull the Drakhar to the shore
and prepare a home.
Got it.
Look, Eric.
Look at these trees.
There is so much forest here, what can be built a thousand Drakkars.
Can you still tell me why we have so many?
Arald is right.
With such wealth, we can become kings of the world.
I always dreamed of such a place.
When you go back,
then do not count, at least, one man.
Look.
Look, fine food, I will prepare them
in Peloponnesian, you will be surprised.
Look at that, Eric.
I've never seen this.
Pinch me, Greek. I want to make sure that this is not a dream.
Enough cackle ..
Otherwise they will run away.
Let's try to get closer to the beauties.
We will go here.
And you go from there.
Girls, where are you? We are friends.
Stop joking. Where did you hide?
It's no use, Arald. They must have fled to the forest.
We'll undress and look for them.
Girls? Where are you?
Where did she go?
Women, do you understand? Real women, beautiful and young.
Where are the women, there are men ..
No not always...
There are regions inhabited only by women.
Amazonkmi.
Some women?
How do they manage without men?
Sometimes they take someone...
and he must serve them all.
I would prefer that this land be uninhabited.
We are few.
And the Drakkar can not start again.
Who will tell us how many local people are hostile?
In my opinion, strangers are always enemies.
Look!
What to expect? They attack!
Wait, Bjarni.
- What did he say? - I do not understand.
Wataowa. Eric.
It's useless, I do not understand you. Let's go to.
You want to change.
You know a good deal.
You - requak. I, Arperopoulos.
No. Argeropoulos.
Maybe I'll see you again tomorrow.
This is my hut.
Look, the grapes.
What? "We can make wine."
Delicious.
Really delicious.
Goodred.
What a surprise.
Eyolf, what are you doing here?
I hunted a deer, heard a noise and ran.
And instead of a deer you turned out to be.
You must be disappointed.
On the contrary. Can I escort you?
Of course. I return to the village.
Do you go from Eric's mother?
She, poor, is so alone...
You, too, feel lonely.
And you went to her to talk about him.
Admit it.
And what's wrong with that? Everyone is waiting for Eric's return.
And you are more than others.
You are waiting for someone who will never return.
Why say that? Looks like you're hoping for this.
I did not meet you by accident.
I've been waiting for you for hours,
was getting the courage to say you are what you are should have already understood.
I love you, Goodrid. I want you.
Let go, I do not want.
No! I do not want. Let go...
Get out. I hate you.
You must be mine, Goodrid.
Only mine.
I love you. I do not want you to belong to another.
You're insane, Eyolf. You do not understand,
what are you doing? You know about the law.
Violence against a woman is punishable by death.
Forgive me, Goodrid. I did not realize what I was doing.
I respect you.
You will not tell anyone about this, do you?
I promise that this will not happen again.
I will not say anything.
Now, do you understand?
Of the grapes make wine.
Which then drink.
Win, drink.
Since our dating
I have already learned your language.
But you did not learn mine.
Now watch. You will do as I do.
Look and repeat.
Thank you, Uataoua.
Watauwa, always bring fresh water to Eric.
Well done!
Is it good?
No, it's tar, it's not edible.
- Eric. - Yes.
Drakkar completely repaired.
I know. But there are still things to do.
We have not tried it yet wine of Argeropoulos. When will it be ready?
He said: "When the new moon is complete."
He fell...
and had no more strength to fly again.
Catch it was easy.
When I examined it, I saw a mark.
One did not want to give him victory.
At least he will take the hero's soul to heaven.
I thank you, Eyolf.
Tomorrow I'll give you gold and jewels, obtained from inheritance.
Thorsteinn.
I know that the moment is unsuccessful to talk about it,
but I was silent for too long.
I was silent, for I knew that Gudrid loved Eric.
But I, I love Goodrid.
I always loved her.
And I will love her forever.
Will you give me consent to the marriage?
You are henceforth the sole heir of Torvald
and your proposal is honorable to me.
Wait a bit
and I will talk with Goodride.
I need her to give an answer in full consciousness.
I will make a decision after returning from Denmark.
Careful.
There is enough for everyone.
It is for you.
Slow down.
Excellent.
But for you.
It seems everyone served.
Here you go.
And here for you.
It is you again?
Here you go.
Time is running
and the case that you expect does not appear.
Look,
even these savages are fascinated by Eric.
Did you like the wine?
All right, wine.
What do you say to Eyolfa?
You'll say, that Bjarni could not nothing to do?
It seems that you are not loyal to Eyolfa.
You talk too much.
They will hear you.
The case will be granted, you can be sure.
Vingar.
He came for Uataoua, she was promised to him.
But after you saved Wataowa, she belongs to you.
Do not be Afraid, Wataoua.
He swore an everlasting hatred of you.
All right, Eric.
Bjarni, come here! Bjarni!
Let Odin not let out me in Valhalla, if this is not gold.
It's good.
Gold.
You see.
The time has come, Olaf.
I no longer need Eric or Eyolf.
You did not know?
It's a kiss.
Kiss?
You're too honest, Eric.
If you marry Huatau, you can not deceive her.
I do not want this.
And Goodrid?
She loves you. Have you ever noticed this?
What are you telling me?
Gudrid and I grew up together.
How many I remember myself, I always saw her from my mother.
I never noticed anything other than friendship.
Women are mysterious.
Are you going to marry Uataua by their rites?
Now for their rites.
And then, in Torde, according to our ..
Watauwa will be my wife.
Our world will be hostile to her, she will not understand him.
It will be accepted as a stranger, another tribe.
I'll bring her back here.
I will return here with the other Drakkars.
Our peoples can live together,
just like these people made friends with us.
You wanted to open a new land
and you did it.
Life has confirmed your assumptions.
I hope that now everything will happen as you say.
Bjarni.
A friend of mine.
I, Bjarni.
Watauwa is yours.
Of course.
Watauwa and Eric.
Yes, Eric.
I will bring him to you,
for exchange. Look.
Where is the gold?
Speak. This decoration belonged to you.
I know that for you, iron is more useful.
I'm interested in gold. You understand?
Yes, do not be afraid.
Mountain.
What are you doing here, Greek?
What do you want?
Scoundrel.
You are a scoundrel and a traitor, Bjarni.
I always suspected you.
This time, nothing will come of it.
Rather, you.
I will not let you interfere in my affairs.
Argeropoulos!
Arald!
What?
Argeropoulos with you? No.
And with you, Bjarni?
No.
I did not see him.
Such eccentrics as he, love to walk alone at night, like a fox.
Maybe he's with a woman. He was a success with our guests.
Better look for him.
Come on, Bjarni.
Argeropoulos!
Argyropulos...
Eric...
Who did this?
Come on, talk.
Argyropulos...
What's wrong, Goodhide?
My girl, what happened?
Help me, Freidis. Please, do not leave me.
I do not want any more to stay with his father. Help me.
Please tell me.
My father wants to extradite me for Eyolf.
He said that I should be proud
marriage with this rich man, who will become the leader.
He's right, Goodrid. He speaks like a father.
And you too...
You know, that I love Eric. I can never forget him.
Never, do you hear?
How could I have married Eyolfa?
He loves you, believe me.
Time cures. Soon you can his love.
I'm sure that never
I can not love him.
I also wanted to see how you and Eric get married,
but this is no longer possible,
Your father has the right to demand that you sacrifice yourself.
I want to ask him to wait two more moons.
And then, I'm going to marry Eyolf.
Argyropoulos did us such a feast...
Here are all the things that he liked so much.
I really loved him, you know.
So do I.
He told such beautiful stories...
It's true.
And on the last evening, he described to us the wedding ceremony of the natives,
really tired, I did not understand anything.
According to the indigenous tradition,
the ceremony is held in a special place,
under an eternally blooming tree,
in the presence of only loved ones.
And Erica?
Close, it's Narvik and me.
Olaf.
I do not see Bjarni.
I wanted him to be next to me.
He went hunting,
for your feast. He promised not to hesitate.
Arald, our name is.
I'm coming.
No, Narvik. In my absence, you are responsible for parking.
Under this ever-flowering tree,
our father married our mother.
They lived happily ever after.
So did all our ancestors.
And you and Eric are happy, Watauwa.
Wataowa!
Kiss.
Not now.
Eric! Eric!
Narvik.
I kept my promise.
And you keep yours.
And Eric?
He must die. You understand?
What is he doing there? They should have been here already.
For lovers time does not exist.
But not for Eric.
Eric!
Narvik...
Narvik.
Narvik, I'm here!
Arald!
Narvik! Hansen!
What happened? You're hurt. Where's Eric?
You are finally here. There was a trap.
Vingar and his men suddenly seized us.
And Erica?
Yes, he was taken away with the girl.
This is Bjarni, the traitor.
He and Olaf.
We should not have trusted them.
It is necessary to notify the others. Can you move?
I'll try. Help me.
Forward!
Take her away.
Here, Eric.
Bjarni.
He wants a sword.
Bjarni!
It's all gold.
Gold, Bjarni.
We will be kings.
Yes, this is all ours.
Its so much that you can buy the whole world!
Still far?
Behind the hill.
They are afraid,
that the arch can collapse every minute.
It must be propped up.
No time. Take so much gold, as much as possible,
because of it, our will forget about Eric.
Bjarni!
You betrayed us.
You know what fate awaits the traitors.
I do not know which of us is a traitor.
You brought us here, despising the wrath of Odin.
We found the land you were looking for,
but when we needed you,
your heart rushed after the woman
and you abandoned all business.
But I, Bjarni, took care of everyone,
I discovered the source of universal wealth,
which will make Tordemus the strongest village in Norway.
I found gold.
Look.
This mountain is filled with gold.
He is there so much that you can fill a hundred drakkar.
Now judge for yourself,
who took care of you all,
Eric
or Bjarni?
Your arrogance goes beyond boundaries.
You should have told everyone,
that there is gold.
Earlier than you were caught unawares...
"Arald is right!" "You are a traitor!"
It must be judged! "Enough!"
Bjarni, you sold my life for gold.
Your treason cost the lives of many people.
You deserve the fate that is prepared for the traitors.
But you were a good warrior.
And I will give you the opportunity to die with dignity, with a sword in your hand.
I, Eric from Tordama,
nephew of the great Torvald,
I challenge you to fight with an ax and a sword.
We will fight in this forest.
Until one of us remains alive,
who will be the leader
and to which all will have to obey.
Do you agree?
I agree.
Bjarni!
Take it. With him you will get it from afar.
Thank you.
Eric!
Uataoua ..
One!
Uataoua ..
Eric...
My love.
Kiss.
You betrayed again.
And it cost another life.
Wait.
No, Eric.
Olaf, for you, there is no pity.
No, wait. I'll tell you everything.
Eyolf and Bjarni betrayed you. This Eyolf paid for your murder.
I was only their tool.
My friends, the summer has passed.
It's time to leave.
Drakkar is ready. At dawn, we will go out to sea.
And gold? We can not leave him here.
It caused many deaths.
No, we will not touch him.
You hear?
We will return empty-handed, when we could become rich.
I disagree!
He's right. "We want gold."
Come along.
No, leave it.
Shed and so much blood of the Vikings.
Look!
Gold!
Careful, everything is falling apart.
What do you think, Eric?
I think about the happiness of the beginning of our journey...
and the sadness of returning home,
which should not have been.
Let's turn back.
No.
We found a simple and peaceful people.
But our passions disturbed him.
Perhaps my dream was too ambitious.
Perhaps it was too early to do something,
what ever our children will do.
Eric!
Really Eric.
Betrayal accompanied our journey, Thorsteinn.
And this betrayal came from here.
Eyolf, you're not surprised,
that you do not see your friend Bjarni?
What are you saying, my brother?
Do not call me that.
You sent Bjarni and Olaf to kill me.
You betrayed our oath.
Grab it.
Eric...
It scares me when you look at the sea.
I'm afraid that you will want to return to that distant land.
Do not be afraid, Goodride. I'm not leaving anymore.
I realized that everything, what I was looking for there, is here.
END
