Short filmTranscript
00:03General, the Kitchen Hand confessed to everything.
00:06He's been Lear's mide in the castle all along.
00:09Yesterday, he received orders to retrieve the seal.
00:12Ivar was clever, hiding the seal in the most dangerous place.
00:15Who would think to search the dungeon walls?
00:17The most dangerous place is often the safest.
00:20Too bad he forgot. The North is my territory.
00:24Here, nothing can be hidden from me.
00:27General, shall I send men to capture them?
00:30Sending men rashly would only give them an excuse.
00:33Those people are itching for us to make a move so they complain to his majesty.
00:37So we just let it go?
00:38Of course not.
00:40Without the seal, they've lost their bargaining spine with the southern nobles.
00:45Soon enough, they'll have nowhere to go.
00:47Like stray dogs with no home.
00:49When that time comes,
00:52not one of them will escape.
01:02What did you just say?
01:04Say it again.
01:05The man we sent was caught.
01:07The seal,
01:08Brian Highhild has it back.
01:10Didn't you say that hiding place was foolproof?
01:12Now look what happened!
01:14The seal is gone.
01:15And we have nothing to tell the southern nobles.
01:18Tell me, what else can we do?
01:19So it's my fault?
01:21You're the one who insisted on retrieving the seal.
01:24Now that something's gone wrong, you're putting all the blame on me!
01:27So what's your suggestion?
01:28That Brian Vild strikes first and hangs our heads from the city walls like banners?
01:31That's not what I meant.
01:33We're out of time.
01:34Without the seal, no one will help us.
01:36The three great houses certainly won't.
01:37They only care about profit.
01:38Right now we're hot potatoes.
01:39Whoever touches us gets burned.
01:41Then,
01:42what do we do?
01:43There's only one place left that will take us.
01:46Where?
01:48The barbarians.
01:53Are you insane?
01:55The barbarians are the North's sworn enemies.
01:58We've been fighting them for years.
01:59Our hands are soaked in their blood.
02:01Defecting to them is treason!
02:02That's a death sentence!
02:03They'll hang us!
02:04Then what other choice do you have?
02:06Think about it carefully.
02:07If we defect to the Barbians, at least we'll stay alive.
02:10We'll have to live in hiding, but we'll still have our lives.
02:12If Brian Vild catches us, we're dead for sure.
02:14They'll string us up from the gallows.
02:15Ivor, we can't go back.
02:16We've passed the point of no return the day you betrayed Brian Vild.
02:19You need to understand, even if you get down on your knees and beg her now, she won't forgive you.
02:23Do I...
02:24Do I have any other choice?
02:26Then it's tomorrow at first light.
02:27We head east, cross the wasteland, and go to barbarian territory.
02:31But will the barbarians even take us in?
02:33We have nothing left.
02:34I've met their chief, Gorn.
02:35He's not an easy man to deal with.
02:36We have this.
02:43What's that?
02:44The North's complete defense map.
02:46I spent three years as a clerk in Brynhild's castle.
02:50Every document passed through my hands.
02:52Did you think I wouldn't keep a copy?
02:54You planned to defect to the barbarians all along?
02:58Since when?
02:58Since the day Brynhild stripped you of your title and threw you out.
03:02I knew we'd end up here eventually.
03:04Amen.
03:34do this. General, let me muster the troops
03:36and go after them.
03:41Let them go.
03:46General, let them
03:48go, but... If they go to the
03:50Barbarians, they'll surely bring them back to attack
03:52the North. When that happens,
03:54they'll be guilty of undeniable treason.
03:56The King himself will issue
03:58the decree, and no one will be able
04:00to save them. General means
04:02lure the snake out of its hole?
04:03Not only that, if the
04:05Barbarians attack the North, they'll definitely
04:07choose the Frozen Gorge. The
04:09terrain is treacherous and easy to defend.
04:12Take it, and you've taken
04:13half the North.
04:16Turn their trap against them.
04:18Set an ambush at Frozen Gorge
04:20and wait for them to come.
04:22This time, I'm going to make sure the
04:23Barbarian Chief Gorn walks
04:26right into my net and never
04:27leaves. Brilliant plan,
04:30General!
04:48The North's former
04:49lord. What brings you to my
04:51wilderness instead of enjoying your castle?
04:54What? Did your own
04:56woman throw you out?
04:59Chief Gorn,
05:00we may have been driven out, but we have something that will
05:02definitely interest you.
05:03Oh?
05:05What is it?
05:06The North's complete defense map.
05:08Troop placements, watchtower
05:09positions, ship changes, supply depots,
05:12every detail. Nothing left out.
05:16Do you really have such a thing?
05:19Please, Chief,
05:20see for yourself.
05:23Good.
05:24Good. Good.
05:25With this map,
05:26the North is mine for the taking!
05:27You two stay here.
05:29Once I take the North,
05:30you'll be my honored guests.
05:32That woman, Brinehilt,
05:34you can do whatever you want with her.
05:35Thank you, Chief!
05:37Pass the word!
05:39We march on Frozen Grolch
05:40in three days!
05:49General,
05:50the ambush forces are in position at Frozen Gorge.
05:53We've set up watch posts on each side of the canyon.
05:56Not even a fly can get through.
05:57Good.
05:59Any word from the barbarians?
06:00Scouts just reported in.
06:02Gorn's army has already marched.
06:03About 3,000 men,
06:04led by Gorn himself.
06:06They're expected to reach the gorge by tomorrow dawn.
06:09Ivar and Leia stayed behind them.
06:10Ivar and Leia stayed behind at the camp.
06:11Looks like they're waiting for Gorn to take the North
06:13before coming back to claim the spoils.
06:17Claim the spoils?
06:19They'd better hope they don't choke on them.
06:23General, where are you going?
06:27Frozen Gorge.
06:28I'm going to face Gorn myself.
06:30But your wound?
06:31The medic said you can't fight.
06:33The injury from the watchtower hasn't fully healed yet.
06:36The wound won't get in the way.
06:38This time,
06:40I'm going to make sure Gorn learns
06:41that the North isn't a place
06:43he can just walk into whenever he pleases.
06:48Yes, sir.
06:49I'll have the horses prepared.
07:00General, they've entered the kill zone.
07:07Fire!
07:16An ambush!
07:18Fall back!
07:19Fall back!
07:39Run!
07:40Run yet to the final land!
07:41To be continued...
08:30Your reputation is well-deserved.
08:32You cannot survive yourself.
08:54It's over.
09:12General!
09:13Let me find a medic!
09:14It's fine.
09:15Just flesh wounds are not about to die.
09:17Tally the casualties.
09:1852 of our men dead, over 130 wounded.
09:22The barbarians left over 700 bodies behind.
09:25Over 300 captured.
09:26Gorn was taken alive.
09:27He's been secured.
09:30Ivar and Lea.
09:32Did we catch them?
09:41The barbarians lost.
09:43Gorn is captured.
09:45We're finished.
09:46Completely finished.
09:48What's there to panic about?
09:49We're not at the end yet.
09:51Not at the end?
09:52We defected to the barbarians!
09:53That's treason!
09:55Breinhild will never let us go!
09:56And the barbarians won't let us go either!
09:58And you say we're not at the end!
10:00Shhh!
10:01Yelling at me won't accomplish anything.
10:03Will screaming keep you alive?
10:08This is all your fault.
10:09All your fault.
10:10If it weren't for your terrible ideas, I wouldn't be in this mess.
10:14Terrible ideas?
10:15You agreed to them back then.
10:17Now that things have gone wrong, you wanna blame me again?
10:22Then what else have you got?
10:23Tell me!
10:26I... I don't know.
10:33Let's head north.
10:35North?
10:36That's walking right into the lion's den.
10:38Where else is there to go?
10:39The southern nobles won't take us in.
10:41East is barbarian territory.
10:43Going back there means death.
10:44West is the sea.
10:45North is the only direction left.
10:47At least...
10:48If we die, we die in the north.
10:52Our sewers...
10:56We can't outrun them.
10:57Can't you hear how many there are?
11:11Run.
11:12Run.
11:13Go on, run.
11:14Why aren't you running anymore?
11:16Rhinebilt!
11:17Sister, I was wrong!
11:18I'm so sorry!
11:19Please spare me!
11:20Ivar, do you know what crime you've committed?
11:23Treason.
11:25Conspiring with the enemy.
11:26Death.
11:26Hmph.
11:29And?
11:31I betrayed you.
11:32Good that you know.
11:33Take them away.
11:34Escort them to the capital for His Majesty's judgment.
11:36Yes, General.
11:37No!
11:47Defendant Ivar Carlson.
11:49Born a commoner.
11:50Rose to become Lord of the North through the support of Brunhild Veiland.
11:53Later conspired with Leah Winserton to usurp power in the North.
11:56Committed treason by providing the North's defense map to the enemy,
11:58resulting in a barbarian invasion of our northern borders.
12:01Do you confess to these charges?
12:03I...
12:03I confess.
12:05Defendant Leah Wennington.
12:06You've been killed, Frosthal.
12:07Born into a fallen southern noble house.
12:09Infiltrated the North.
12:10Sowed discord.
12:11Usurped power in the North.
12:12Conspired with the barbarians.
12:14And committed treason.
12:15Do you confess to these charges?
12:17I...
12:18I confess.
12:20According to the laws of the realm, those who commit treason shall be hanged.
12:24All titles and lands shall be stripped.
12:26The sentence shall be carried out today.
12:28I don't want to die!
12:29I don't want to die!
12:30Brunhild!
12:31Please spare me!
12:32When you killed Frosthal, did you ever think about this day?
12:35The North's wax seal has been returned to Brunhild Veiland, heir to the Veiland family.
12:40Effective immediately, Brunhild Veiland is hereby appointed Lord of the North.
12:44All military and civilian personnel of the North shall follow her command.
12:48Brunhild Veiland, you have rendered extraordinary service to the North and to the realm.
12:53Today, I formally appoint you as Warden of the North.
12:56A title hereditary in perpetuity, granting you command over all military and civil affairs of the North.
13:01Thank you, Your Majesty.
13:04Brunhild Veiland, it's a great deal.
13:08Brunhild Veiland, it's a blast.
13:09That's why.
13:09Brunhild Veiland, it's a blast.
13:11All over?
13:14Yes.
13:27Honey, thank you.
13:32Flowers are fragile
13:34I don't like them anymore
13:38What do you like then?
13:40Peace
13:41If you can help keep a constant watch on those southern nobles
13:44And stop them from causing trouble
13:45That would be the best gift you could give me
13:47Deal
13:51Brian Held
13:53Have you ever thought about trusting someone again?
13:59There won't be a next time
14:02What if that person is willing to wait for you?
14:09Who knows?
14:20General, His Majesty's appointment decree has arrived
14:24Three southern houses have also sent congratulatory letters
14:28Noted
14:29General, are you not pleased?
14:31This was mine to begin with
14:33Taking it back is nothing to celebrate
14:36Besides, this whole mess happened because I failed to see people for what they really were
14:40But none of this is your fault
14:42That bastard Ivor doesn't know how to be grateful
14:45Enough
14:46They're dead
14:48What's the point of talking about it anymore?
14:50What about Gorn?
14:52Still locked in the deepest dungeon
14:54Keeps demanding to be let out
14:57Keep a close watch on him
14:59The barbarians will soon offer a new sea-spy agreement with him as their bargaining chip
15:05Yes, General
15:10General
15:11The North
15:13Finally back in my hands
15:27Father, you were right
15:29In this world, the only one you can truly rely on is yourself
15:34Spread the word
15:35From today onward, I will personally oversee all military and civil affairs of the North
15:40Yes, General
15:51What are you doing here?
15:53Came to help
15:54Don't worry, I've arranged for people to keep a constant watch on those southern nobles
16:00What's wrong?
16:02You know that's not what I'm asking
16:06Is that so?
16:08Is it worth it?
16:12Who knows?
16:15From that day on, Brinehild Weyland led the Northern armies to defend the border against barbarian invasions
16:23Winning every battle
16:25Tristan Ashfield gave up his position among the southern nobles to serve the North
16:30Managing its internal affairs and bringing peace to its people
16:35Under their joint governance, this once frozen and barren land finally experienced unprecedented prosperity and peace
16:45Under their joint governance, this once frozen and barren land finally reached the border against the border against the border
