THE NINE STEPS - IN RAGNAROK
THOR MEETS THE MIDGARD SERPENT

AND GETS BITTEN BY ITS POISONOUS TEETH.
WITH ITS VENOM IN HIS BLOOD,

THOR ONLY HAS NINE STEPS LEFT
TO STEP IN THIS WORLD...

[Isolde] A new chapter had begun in Edda.

It was as if the era of the Giants rule,

when injustice had prevailed,
had been blissfully forgotten.

It was as if people had become
mellow and easy going,

and now everyone brought out
the best in themselves.

Thanks for getting me off
that alcohol crap, Boss.

This juice is pretty good.
And probably it's...

better for us.

[raven caws]

[Isolde] And down in the old,
poor part of Edda,

a young, strong kid was preparing
for his last exam of high school.

COMPENDIUM FOR JURISPRUDENCE
MODULE

[automated voice]
When legal questions arise...

[Isolde] But unlike most others,

he wasn't excited about
the freedom on the other side.

In fact, it was overwhelming.

I MIS YOU

What's to become of a God of Thunder
when the battle appears to have been won,

and everyone else
seemed to have found their way?

And the TV award goes to...

Iman Reza!

[audience cheering]

[pop music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

[man] And we're lucky to have with us

a very special coach
for the next few days.

None other than
Norway's big biathlon star,

Harry Kristensen.

Whoo!

Thank you.

I have prepared some fun things for you
that you might not have tried before.

First, there are three things
I hope we can agree to stop saying.

One... I am a victim.

Two, you should feel sorry for me.

Three...

I can't do that
because I'm not like everyone else.

[Fjor] What happened here?

How kind of you.

I can be nice too.

- Ooh.
- Here you go.

- Um, I have the day off...
- Mmm-hmm.

...but I thought you had that meeting?

Mmm, I was planning on going, but then...

Saxa really wanted to,
so I thought, fine, she can go.

Yeah, okay.

She is better than me at that stuff. Okay?

Okay.

Okay. It's a pleasure to welcome both,
uh, the industry and the activists.

And we... we're very proud
to be able to take part

in shaping a new green agenda together.

[Isolde] Even the Giants
hated factory discontinued

the most polluting production
to accommodate the new times.

I don't really know how to explain it.
Everything has changed for the better.

- That's nice.
- At least I'm not drinking

white wine at : in the morning
and I stopped vaping.

So, uh, what about your...

love life, huh?

[chuckles]

I really don't think
anyone's asked me that before.

Ever.

Feelings aren't my strongest suit.

Well, I just thought you open up so well.

Hearing me, so, uh...

I thought...

You thought?

Uh... would you, uh... like to...

rate me? On Trustpilots?

Of course.

See you at the graduation
ceremony tomorrow?

[door opens]

[Isolde] And down by the now calm Fjord,
the kids once again fed the ducks.

And they had forgotten
all about the dangers

that once lurked under the surface.

[Laurits] Nice.

[Jens] Just think.
now you can study anywhere you like,

and then you can provide for me.

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna have your babies
and stay at home and take care of them.

Why am I not having your kids?

You already have a child, it's my turn.

It's already swam away from the nests...

out into the big, deep ocean,
where it's not a thr*at to anyone.

As it should be.

[Isolde] Some things
are hard to let go of.

And our young God of Thunder was still
haunted by the thought of my death.

And there was something that soon
would change everything.

Even though both Gods and Giants
thought they had made peace,

they could not avoid the future

that had already been written.

[water gurgling]

[thunderclap]

[music playing softly]

- You sure about this?
- Yes.

We're a family.

[Erik] So, big day. Last exam.
You nervous?

[sighs] A little.

But it's just a grade.

So it's fine.

[sighs]

Isolde?

That's nice.

But I have to go.

- Good luck.
- [Erik] Good luck.

If you were to sum up
the most important parts

in the citizens rule of law,
what would that be?

Uh...

Justice, law and order.

And, um...

being willing to take the fight
against the ruling class.

Yeah, um, but you do believe the police
and our justice system do that, right?

That the Norwegian society functions?

I'm not sure.

Yes and no.

- [Magne] Mom!
- Hi.

Sorry, I have to get someone
to cover for me. How did it go?

Uh...

- Two.
- Really?

That means you're passed.

- Oh... okay.
- Congratulations.

[teacher] Yeah, you made it, Magne.

Even though you almost managed to question

the capacity for justice
in the Norwegian democracy.

But you passed. The school is over.

- Congratulations. [chuckles]
- Thank you.

I'm so proud of you.

[laughing] I'm so proud of you.

- [teacher] Did they print it?
- [Signy] Yes.

- Did they really?
- Look

[gasps]

- I mean, this is amazing.
- What?

MY GENERATION CAN DO MORE
THAN GOING ON CLIMATE STRIKES!

- [Turid] Wow.
- They printed my essay.

[Turid] That's great.

Congrats.

Thanks.

Imagine that.
And you wrote it all by yourself.

We have to celebrate you.

- Come on.
- [teacher] It's just so awesome.

I'm so proud of you.

- It's incredible.
- Thanks.

[Erik] This...

This is the best mutton
and cabbage stew I've ever had.

- Oh, stop it.
- I mean it. It's better than my mother's.

- [Turid laughs]
- Yeah, it is.

Laurits, do you want some more?

- Yeah, here you go.
- It's good for your body.

There.

Yes, thanks.

Do you think I'm a bad Norwegian
if I'm not that keen on stew?

- Mmm-hmm. You're a horrible Norwegian.
- [glass tinkling]

Excuse me.

I have... written a few words...
[clears throat]

because I'm so proud of my boys...

today.

Laurits.

It's so good to see you happy
and that you found love.

You've settled into yourself...

and you're not as angry
at the world anymore,

and in a way, that's you're doing, Jens.

We're so happy to have
you as a part of our family.

And a little annoyed
that you're stealing Laurits

- now that you're moving in together.
- [laughter]

And Magne, to think you have
finally graduated from high school.

I don't know if you remember the day
we moved to Edda in our old car.

You were angry because you didn't want
to move back to Edda,

a place where... where you lost your dad?

It was a rough time when we lost him.

[clears throat] So then...

you lived in your own
little fantasy world for a long time,

escaping into comic books
with superheroes,

and it was probably because
the real world was too harsh.

Psychologists, speech therapist,
treatment systems,

and... [clears throat]

And the morning when we drove in to Edda,

I was also very angry at you...

[sniffling]...and I really regret that,

because it's only now that...
[clears throat]

that I know what I should have
said and done,

because you were just scared
of losing what made you feel safe.

And you shouldn't blame
someone who's scared.

I'm so sorry.

You should help them to become brave.

So, what I should have said to you then...

I'll say to you now instead.

[clears throat] Life consists
of a long line of steps

that you have to take one by one,

and you shouldn't be afraid

even if the next step
leads you into an unknown territory.

Look at what's become of us all.

You didn't think you'd get a friend?

But you did.

And we all miss her very much.

You thought you wouldn't finish school,
but today you have passed your exams.

You thought you would never
get a girlfriend, but you did.

And she's fantastic,
and you should have kept her.

- [all chuckling softly]
- Yeah, but I just wanted to say that

because I think you should listen
to your mom a bit

when it comes down
to life's bigger questions,

and especially... when I tell you,

you shall not fear your next step.

The three of you are my superheroes.

So, cheers.

Cheers. So lovely.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

- Cheers!
- Yeah.

[sighs in relief]

[caws]

There.

[Turid] Now that Laurits is moving,

it's a great opportunity
to get rid of our junk.

[Magne] Hmm.

[Turid] I'll sort through Grandma's stuff,
if you could just do your own?

Hmm.

You can keep packing,
get changed for the graduation ceremony,

and then I'll see you at school.

Yeah, that's great.

By the way, what... what's your favorite?

What should I choose?

Urban Cowboy or... Twiggy Stardust?

Dazzle me.

Huh. Okay.

Drive safely.

[Jens] I will.

[raven caws]

- [Turid] Magne, why did you stop?
- I'm coming.

What are you doing?

Just checking, if...
if we can fit the bed in there

- without removing the door.
- Oh.

You can't wait for me to leave. Hmm?

Stop it. It's good for us
to get a proper bedroom,

and it's a chance to tidy up
in our old lives a bit.

- [door squeaks open]
- Magne has already started.

Hmm. Those?

I thought you threw those out
a long time ago.

You're not gonna read those now.

[Magne] No.

[Laurits] Oh, the hammer,
your old favorite toy.

[Magne] Was?

You're throwing them out?

Yeah, he is. They need to go.

We have to be tough about this.

I mean, get rid of all the junk.
They don't do you any good.

Those things just get them out.

Out with the old, in with the new.
A fresh start in life.

Young Thor, right.

[Turid] You're not convincing him
to keep anything, are you?

Look. I fixed it. Turned out great.

You're gonna wear that?

It's nice. Dad's old jacket.

- It's vintage.
- It's vintage.

- Oh, it's vintage.
- I'll take this upstairs...

Can I look at them a bit?

Okay. Just promise to hurry up.
We're heading over to the school soon.

- Okay.
- Laurits, you need to get dressed as well.

[Laurits] On it.

[sniffs]

What do you think?

A bit much with a zebra print, right?

Okay, then.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

- Hi.
- [Magne] Can we talk?

Okay.

Did you see my text?

Mmm-hmm.

I've been a total jerk.

Yeah.

And if... I could do it over... I would.

And if I could get you back...

I would do that, too. I would.

But I don't know if I dare to do that.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

- Okay.
- Hmm.

[woman] Please find your seats, everyone.
We're about to start.

[indistinct chatter]

- Hi, Magne.
- Hi, darling.

[indistinct chatter]

[microphone feedback]

[Ran clears throat]

Welcome, everyone,
to the graduation ceremony

for this year's talented seniors.

When you started at this school,
you were big children,

but now that you're leaving us,
you are adults.

And today is the first day
of the rest of your lives.

Now you're stepping into adult life
where you mold your own future.

[crowd clapping]

[scattered hooting]

[all cheering]

[Ran speaking indistinctly]

[Ran]...and every one of you on stage.

And we're starting with Ada...

[all cheering]

[Harry] I thought that we're going
to try out a few activities today.

Uh, tug of w*r, discus,
javelin, and archery.

I also brought some kettlebells.

And there's some medicine balls.

- Yeah.
- I don't think I can lift up.

Up, up, up, up, up, up,

What's that thing we don't say?

I don't think I can
because I'm not like everyone else.

- [laughs]
- [grunts]

[man] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Are you okay?
- [girl] I'm fine.

- [Harry] Is everything okay?
- [girl] Yeah, I'm fine.

What do you wanna do, buddy?

sh**ting.

Uh, Hod.
Maybe you should try something else?

Discus maybe?

sh**ting.

Yeah, well, uh,
of course he can sh**t if he wants to.

And now I'd like to ask
Laurits Seier-Jutul up on stage.

- [Turid] Yoo-hoo! Yes! Go!
- [all applauding]

[Jens] Come on, Laurits!

[Harry] And an arrow.

No, I want my arrow.

It was the one that hit him.
It means a lot to him.

All right. Well then...

we'll use your arrow.

Just put it there,
and then can you hold it?

[ominous music playing]

And then you aim as well as you can.

Draw back and sh**t when you're ready.

Draw and sh**t.

f*ck, I'm proud of you.

[man] Is this? Is this really okay?

He looks a bit unstable.

- [Hod grunts]
- [Harry] Okay, well, stop!

Put the bow down, Hod.

- Watch out!
- [Hod grunts]

No!

- [arrow pierces]
- [gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[breathing heavily]

[laughter distorted, echoing]

[mumbles] What the hell?

[laughter and cheering distorted]

[screaming in distance]

[Turid] Magne, you need to get
dressed as well.

[Laurits yelling]

[men clamoring in distance]

[shouting in Old Norse]

[all applauding]

[high-pitched warbling]

[distorted sounds]

[distorted grunting]

Magne Seier.

[all cheering]

Whoo!

[in Old Norse] Watch out!

No!

[Iman groaning]

[in Old Norse] Leave me.
Go after Ran. Save the world!

[breathing heavily]

[Saxa yells, echoing]

[Saxa yelling]

[Laurits speaking Old Norse]

Laurits?

[Laurits shouting in Old Norse]

Laurits!

- Fjor!
- [thunder rumbling]

Thor!

[shouts in Old Norse]

[high-pitched warbling]

[indistinct chatter]

Yes, should be...

Ran.

Wow. Thanks.

No, thank you for the four stars
on Trustpilots.

Yeah, that was well deserved, Sindre.

See you.

- [piercing]
- [gasps]

[Laurits] Have you considered that maybe
this battle only exists in your head?

[voice echoing] Magne.

- [Isolde] Magne?
- [Magne] Hey, watch out!

[Turid] I'm thinking that you think
that what you saw was real.

[Fjor] You are nothing.

I think I'm Thor?

I need help.

Isolde?

And in this world, it never happened.

[Turid] Norse mythology isn't really real.

It's stories, you know.

[Isolde] And don't forget to call
on your friends, Magne.

[Magne] You were the only friend
I ever had.

I miss you.

[Isolde] I'm with you.

Magne, aren't you coming?
They have waffles.

I'll be right there, just go ahead.

[woman] You're a good kid.

[Magne] I can't do anything.

[Signy] Is Magne sick?

[rumbling]

[growling]

[growling in distance]

[roaring]

[in Old Norse] k*ll him!

[man] But you haven't got yourself
tangled up in some kind of fantasy world?

- [woman] Psychiatric evaluation...
- [voices echoing indistinctly]

[yells]

- No!
- [yells]

[distorted voice]

[creature growling]

[yells]

[growling]

Magne?

[groans]

[groaning]

[Turid] You shall not reveal
you're next step.

[gasping]

Can we maybe talk?

I've been thinking a lot.

Um, maybe we could sit down somewhere?

[breathing heavily]

I'm also scared.

I understand that you've
been through something.

That traumatized you
or made you a bit detached from reality.

- But...
- [breathing heavily]

But you hurt me.

And I'm really scared
that you'll do it again.

Because I really like you, Magne.

Can you say something?

At some point, we just have to let go
of all that childish sh*t and grow up.

And it's f*cking hard, but,
but we have to.

[breathing heavily]

And love is the most dangerous of all.

And it's not like I expect you
to go down on one knee...

or that we won't make any mistakes.

But... but I do expect you to do your best.

If you can promise me that
I promise you the same...

and then...

I'll be your girlfriend again.
