01x17 - Servant

[bunniefuu]

Oh! I saw a flash.

-Hey!
-What's that?

Oh, really?

Then this is where we say goodbye.

I'm in a hurry. Excuse me.

Don't put on airs, you grunts.

If you want to leave,

then go wash your ass in that river
and line up for Thorkell.

That's all you need do.

What Thorkell wants is the prince's ass.

Hey, Askeladd.

We've known each other for a long time.
I don't want to k*ll you.

Leave the prince here and disappear.

Avalon?

Is that the name of a place?

SERVANT

Yes.

It's the name of heaven.

Our great ancestor, King Artorius,

is over there.

But, Mother... King Artorius

is a general from a long time ago.

Is he still alive?

Avalon

lies far across the great sea to the west.

It's a land of everlasting spring, where the fairies live.

It's a place free from the suffering
of death and old age in this life.

He's recovering

from his battle wounds there.

Once his wounds have healed, King Artorius

will come back for us.

To save us from our suffering.

When that happens,

serve the king.

He's

the true king, and a warrior.

Become his staff

and his sword...

someday.

Can I talk to you

before we say goodbye?

It won't change anything.

We've been together for a long time.

We laughed together,

we drank together,

and we made it through hell and back many times.

I've never told you this before.

For the last decade we've spent together...

I actually

hated you guys.

-What?
-What?

You worthless Danes. You're worse than pigs.

Damn! Get the prince!

Thorfinn!

You kids, hold on tight!

Hurry!

Damn!

Damn! They were on to us!

Follow them! Don't let them get away!

Go! Go! Go!

All right! I won't let you!

The river! Follow the sled! Go!

My men are impressive.
They're good at judging the situation.

Very well.

You got me.

It looks like you didn't have enough faith.

They're far away. I can't see them well.

But it looks like they're fighting.

They're fighting amongst themselves.

It happens a lot in times like this.

How pitiful.

These days

everyone's afraid to die.

This is outrageous!

How dare they start the fight without me?

That's his problem?

Let me join! Let me join!

Surround them! Surround them!

The horses! k*ll their horses!

What are you doing? k*ll them, Thorfinn!

Throw your knives!

Shut up! I'm out of throwing knives!

Damn! Askeladd's not here yet!

What is that baldy doing?

Stop, Bjorn! Listen to us!

You think I'm stupid enough to actually stop?

Don't forget who I am!

Think about it, Bjorn! Whether we live or die

all depends on what we do with the prince!

It's no use, Atli! Bjorn obeys Askeladd completely.

We can't convince him.

We'll just have to k*ll him!

Yeah. Looks like you do understand.

Askeladd trusts me.
That's why he left the prince with me.

If you want to take the prince from me,

prepare to die!

You cowards!

Hey! I told you to att*ck me!

Not the horses! No! Hey!

We're going to crash!

-Hey! Thorfinn's running away!
-Don't worry about him. Forget it.

Hey, prince. Are you alive?

Don't be so reckless!

Prince! Hey!

He's alive.

All right! Let's go back.

You're not going anywhere yet,

you losers!

You're still alive, Bjorn?

What? That mushroom!

Come at me, all of you at once!

I'll take you all to Valhalla!

Damn! Damn! Damn!

You put me through so much trouble! You baldy!

You better not die until I k*ll you,

Askeladd!

Oh, dear.

I don't like getting old.

Who ever thought

that I'd be unable to escape
from a mere men one day?

Wait for it.

Wait for your chance to escape.

Thorkell's going to get here soon.

It's going to be chaos.

You bastard!

Did you see that?

I saw it.

He cut through his helmet.

Not even my a* can cut like that.

Damn. He's good.

Damn. I shouldn't have lost my temper.

Oh, sorry I was being loud.

All right. Come on.

I'm not mad anymore.

Everyone to the east, stand back!
You're going to get hit by the stray arrows!

They took out their flying toys.

Torgrim.

Are you the one in charge?

So what if I am? You bastard.

Are you sure you're okay with this?
Even I would die from that.

Who cares?

Bjorn and Thorfinn are good.

They'll k*ll you if you go after them.

If you want to get the prince,

you'll need me.

If you take me hostage,

then Bjorn will come back to exchange me for the prince.

That's only if I'm still alive, though.

What are you going to do, Torgrim?

Aim for his legs.

Yeah!

We did it!

You're not acting like yourself, Askeladd.

You were never this desperate.

Normally, you'd avoid fighting
worthless battles.

Why do you risk your life for that coward of a prince?

Do you plan on taking your prize to the grave with you?

I'm already old.

I don't have a lot of time left
where I can still work.

I just...

couldn't wait any longer.

I couldn't wait anymore

for the true king to return from Avalon.

You don't make any sense.

That's enough. Finish him.

Hey! What's wrong?

Hey! Are you having fun, guys?

Which one is Askeladd? Your leader.

I can't wait to meet him.

Too bad.

I don't see anyone without an appointment.

You really are big.

Now that I've seen you up close.

I'm Torgrim.

I'm not going to resist. I just want you to listen.

Captain. The prince isn't here.

Oh, that's right!

That's what I was going to talk to you about.

We were planning to give you the prince.

But our leader Askeladd let him get away.

But don't worry.

We sent ten men after him.

Just leave it to us.

I swear in the name of Odin.
We'll get him back, no matter what.

We also have other aces up our sleeve.

What? Wait... Hey!

So, you're Askeladd.

You look pretty smart.

By the way,

I don't see Thorfinn around.

Did you k*ll him?

I didn't k*ll him.

I asked him to guard the prince.

He's not part of this rebellion.

I see! I'm relieved to hear that.

All right! Thanks for waiting, you dogs!

Except for Askeladd,

k*ll them all!

This wasn't part of the deal, Torgrim!

Hey, you guys.

Pick up your weapons. Act like a warrior
for your final moments.

Hurry up. Pick it up.

I'm saying this for your own good.

You won't be able to go to Valhalla if you die
without a w*apon.

Damn it all!

Great. This is how it's supposed to be.

Wait! Wait, Thorkell!

Are you sure? Are you sure about this?

If you k*ll us, you won't be able to get the prince!

Yeah. That's okay. I'll get him myself.

Hey. It's your a*.

att*ck me!

If you call yourself a warrior, then try feeling good
when you die.

One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four...

I feel your pain, Torgrim.

-My heart--
-Silence!

It's all your fault!

Just give up, Torgrim.

You're going to die now.

You're going to die without a doubt.

So, die while fighting. Okay?

I'll help you.

Now then! att*ck me! Come on!

Hey!

This is no good!

Looks like I put too much pressure on you.

This is no good.

He's gone now.

Hello?

What's that?

Thorfinn!

Hey! Thorfinn!
You look like you've been doing well!

Don't touch Askeladd!

He's my catch!

If you lay even one finger on him, I'm going to k*ll you!

Got it, big guy? If you touch him, I'm going to k*ll you!

I... I always knew you were crazy, but...

A mouse is picking a fight with a bear.

Your catch?

He's your boss, right?

He's not my boss!

What? What the heck?

Did you hear that? That kid said
he's going to k*ll our captain.

Oh, he has a lot of guts to say that.

Give me Askeladd.

If you don't, I'm going to k*ll you.

Really?

Then I'm not going to.

Did you hear that?

Thorfinn and I just agreed

to a duel over Askeladd!

You guys are the witnesses!

Yeah!

You did it!

That bastard... How dare he...

Yeah! You can do it!

Thorfinn.

If you win, I'll let him go.

I'll even give you a horse.

This time isn't going to be like in London.

Oh, I'm looking forward to that,

son of Thors!

The last in a line of warriors!
