1014 A.D. NORTHUMBRIA REGION, YORK
DAY OF THE IMPERIAL COUNCIL
What's in there?
中身はなんだ
It's wine.
へ…へぇ。ワインで
-There's so many soldiers here. -Of course there are.
兵隊がたくさんおるなァ そりゃそうさ。
Miscalculation
The elders are going to gather here today.
今日はこの家に族長が大勢集まるんだから
Wow, the elders are going to eat all this?
はー…これみんな族長たちが食うんか
What do you think?
That's not true.
そんなことねぇよ。でな。
Anyway, when he was about to get stabbed, he didn't even notice!
アニキのやつ、刺されそうになったのに気付いてもいねぇんだよ
What do you think about what happened the other day?
貴公。どう見るかね、先日の…
Do you mean the assassination attempt on the prince?
王子殿下の暗殺未遂…か
I know it's awful to say this, but we can't ignore the rumors.
畏れ多いことであるが、噂もあながち見過ごせぬ
I guess this means the king has chosen Harald, not Canute.
やはり陛下のお心はクヌート様よりハラルド様か。
Surely Canute's supporters are upset.
クヌート派は面白くなかろうな
You're talking too loudly!
お声が高い。
It's still just a rumor.
まだ噂にすぎませんぞ
It looks like we must reconsider our plans.
身の振り方を改めねばならんか…
No. Thorkell has joined Canute.
いやいや…クヌート派にはあのトルケル殿が加わった。
This more than compensates for the loss of Ragnar.
これはラグナルの損失を補って余りある
Thorkell doesn't know how to govern.
トルケル殿は政治のできぬ男だ。
He's too much for Canute to handle.
クヌート様の器量では持て余すわい
By the way, there's someone else who joined Canute, too.
そういえば…クヌート派にもう1人加わったのがいたな。
His name was Askeladd, "covered in ash."
確かアシェラッド…“灰まみれ”とかいう…
Well, I've never heard of him.
さて。聞かぬ名だ
Lords!
諸侯！
Rise!
ご起立されよ！
His Highness the king and His Highness the prince are about to enter the room.
王陛下と王子殿下のご入室である！
Well, lots of good food!
おォウ！ごちそうテンコ盛り！
Where's Thorfinn?
トルフィンはどうした？
Well...
さて。
There's no need to feel worried for your safety.
まァ、御身の護衛に心配はありますまい。
No one here is so foolish as to shed blood in this place.
さすがにこの場で刃傷沙汰に及ぶバカはおらんでしょう
Hurry up and walk! Don't drag your feet!
早く歩かんか！グズグズするな！
You're a stupid kid.
バカなガキだ
Whoa, hey!
おぉっ…！おい！
Hey, what's wrong with you?
あァ？なんだよ？
What? It's just a kid.
なんだガキじゃねェかよ。
Hey, wait!
おい待てコラ
How dare you touch me with those dirty hands of yours!
きったねェ手で触りやがって！
What's wrong with this kid?
何なんだこのガキはよ
Hey! Don't ignore me.
無視してんじゃねェぞこの野郎
Hey! Say something!
オイ！何とか言えよ！
Hey, hey!
オイオイ！
Are you making fun of us?
なめてんのかー？
Pay up, you!
金払えオラ！
Hey, you--
テメッ！こンのや…ごぁッ！？
Out of the way! Let us through!
どけー！道をあけろー！
You idiots!
バカタレが！
You again!
またお前かぁ！
You will be notified of your punishment later!
正式な処罰は追って沙汰する！
What a time to cause trouble!
ったくこの忙しい時に！
Are you sure this is okay?
いいんですか？
I heard he's the prince's guard.
聞くところでは殿下の護衛だとか…
The prince is attending the imperial council right now.
殿下は今、御前会議に出席されておる！
There's no way his guard would be walking around town.
護衛が町なかをうろついてるわけなかろう！
Elders of Denmark...
デンマークの族長諸賢…
thank you for gathering here today.
今日はよく集ってくれた
My long-awaited wish has finally come true.
積年の望みは叶い、
This land, England, has finally come under my control.
ついにこの地イングランドは余の統べるところと相成った。
This achievement is all thanks to your valiant efforts in battle.
この良き日は、諸君らの奮戦あったればこそである
In addition, my old friend Thorkell...
また…古き友トルケルと
and my son, Canute
我が息子クヌートも、
have returned to us, thanks to the protection of the gods.
神々の加護により我がもとへと帰り来た。
This is an unexpected stroke of good fortune.
望外の喜びである
I'm glad you've returned, Canute.
よくぞ戻ったな。クヌート
Your father is happy.
父はうれしいぞ
I'm going to put Mercia, part of our new territory, under your rule.
そなたには新領より、マーシアの統治を任せる。
Let's make this land a good country together.
父と共に、この地をよき国にしようぞ
Thorkell.
トルケルよ。
Support my son.
息子を助けてやってくれ。
This is my wish.
余の願いじゃ
Yeah.
んっス
Mercia?
マーシア…！
That's the most prosperous land within England...
イングランドで最も豊かな土地を…
Maybe the rumors were just rumors after all.
噂はやはり噂にすぎませんか…
No. You don't know that for sure. If the rumors really are true,
いやわからぬぞ。真実であればこそ、
then of course he'd say that.
ああ言うより他…
I shall reward you as well in accordance with your achievements in battle.
諸君らにも、戦果に相応した褒美を授ける。
Let us continue to fight with valor in Ireland, our next battleground.
次なる戦地アイルランドにおいても存分に奮われよ。
Ireland is the land where our previous king, King Harald,
彼の地アイルランドはかつて不遜なる僭主ブライアン・ボルにより、
was humiliated by Brian Boru, that insolent tyrant.
先王ハラルドが苦汁をなめさせられた因縁の地であり…
Victory is mine!
勝てる！
The king is reacting just as I had expected.
王の反応はオレの予測の域を出ていねェ
This proves he has no counter to my strategy.
オレの作戦に対処しきれてねェ証拠だ。
If it's a battle of wits, I'll come out ahead.
知恵比べなら主導権をとれる
Floki, I like that look on your face.
フローキのだんないい顔だな。
Sorry, but I'm going to have you draw a losing ticket this time.
あんたにゃ悪いが今後は損クジ引いてもらうぜ
I'm the one who's going to be in control of this fight.
このケンカを仕切るのはオレだ。
I have all the pieces. I can do it!
駒もそろってる。オレならやれる！
However...
しかしだ諸君。
this land still harbors impudent fools who show no respect for their king.
この地には未だ、王に対する畏れを知らぬ無礼な者どもがおる。
I wanted to let you know about this matter.
そのことも話しておかねばならぬ
I sent a messenger to urge them to become my vassals.
余はきゃつらに、臣従を勧める使者を遣わした。
However, despite that, they refused twice.
にもかかわらず連中は、二度にわたってはねつけおった
If they are sowing seeds of rebellion that would threaten our new territory,
そこに新領を脅かす芽が育っておるなら、
then we must do everything we can to nip it in the bud!
まず全力をもって摘み取らねばならぬ！
Wales.
ウェールズ。
We shall show the inhabitants of Wales
彼の地の者どもに、
the power of the true king.
真の王者の力がどれほどであるかを知らしめるのだ。
We shall attack in the coming spring.
来る春より進撃する。
Be prepared.
心得よ諸君
Get up.
起きろ。
Do you hear me?
聞こえんのか！
Get up!
お・き・ろ！
You have a visitor.
面会だ！
Is it one of Canute's men?
クヌートの手下か…
Send him away.
追い返せ
What?
はァ？
It's not one of the prince's messengers.
殿下のご使者のわけなかろう。
It's just a sailor.
ただの船乗りだ
Thorfinn.
トルフィン
I heard from one of the traders
お前らしき男が連れていかれたと、
that someone who looked like you was taken away.
知り合いの商人に聞いてな…
I was in a panic, Thorfinn.
慌てたぞ。トルフィン…
It's none of your business.
関係ねェ…だろ…
So, it's been 11 years?
11年…か…
How hard it must have been for you...
どれほどつらい思いをしてきたか…
It's just as you say.
お前の言うとおり…
I don't understand.
ワシにはわからん
As long as that man is still alive,
あの男が生きている限り、
your heart will never be at peace.
心が安らぐことはない。
If you say it's still not enough...
まだ充分じゃないというなら…
then you're probably right.
きっと、そうなのだろう…
But...
だが！
I still remember it as if it were only yesterday.
今でも昨日のように思い出すんじゃよ
The sound of the crackling fire in the hearth.
パチパチとはぜる囲炉裏…
The delicious smell of the soup.
うまそうな鍋の匂い…！
Thors.
トールズ。
Helga.
ヘルガ。
Ylva.
ユルヴァ
And...
そして！
the smile on your face when you were a kid.
幼いお前の笑顔をな…
I was telling you the story of how I got trapped in an ice floe
昔…ブラッタリーの沖で、
a long time ago in Brattalihd.
流氷に閉じ込められた話はしたな…
I had run out of food and my ship had been destroyed.
食べ物はなくなり、船も潰れた。
My six friends had all died.
仲間6人はみんな死んだ
But I still kept walking across the ice.
それでもワシはずっと…氷の上を歩き続けた
Do you know why?
なぜだかわかるか？
No matter how stormy the sea is,
どれほど荒んだ海であろうと、
no matter how frozen the sea gets...
どれほど凍えた海だろうと
a sailor is always fighting a battle against the sea.
船乗りは海と戦っとるんだ。
Just like a warrior...
戦士と同じように…
with their own honor at stake.
己の誇りをかけてな
When Thors died...
トールズが死んだ時…
when you disappeared,
お前がいなくなった時…
I swore on my honor.
ワシは、誇りにかけて誓った
So, Thorfinn, I'm not saying this for you.
だからトルフィン！ これは…お前のために言うんじゃない。
I'm saying this for myself.
ワシのためだ
No matter what happens,
どうあっても、お前を
I'm going to bring you back to Iceland, your home.
故郷のアイスランドへ連れて帰る。
It's my responsibility to Thors.
それが…トールズに対する、ワシのケジメだ！
Next, the lords of Schleswig.
続いてシュレスヴィヒの諸侯！
Son of Eirik, Ivar.
エイリークの子、イーヴァル殿。
Come forth.
御前に進まれよ
In appreciation of your achievements on the battlefield, the king is granting you silver and land.
戦功を評価し、陛下は貴殿に銀と領地を下賜される。
Accept his offering with gratitude.
ありがたく受け取られよ
But he looks normal.
そしらぬふうに見えるがな
Just now. It was only for a moment.
先ほど一瞬のことです。
He turned pale when he heard Wales mentioned.
ウェールズと聞いて顔色を変えました
There might be something in Wales that turns out to be his weakness.
ウェールズに、 あ奴めの弱みにつながる何かがあるやもしれませぬ。
Please take note.
ご留意下さいませ
Don't be such a pig.
そんなガツガツすんなよ。
What a disgrace.
みっともねェ
Shut up! I'm expressing my gratitude towards the god of harvest.
うるへー！豊穣の神に感謝の気持ちを表明してんだィ
Do you intend to get bigger than you already are? Unbelievable.
ハッ…それ以上でかくなるつもりかよ。まったく
Damn.
クソ！
What is it? What's going on, King Sweyn?
何なんだ！？どういうことだスヴェン王め！！
Do you know about the connection between me and Wales?
オレとウェールズのつながりを知ってる…？
No. That's not possible.
いやそんなはずはねェ。
I've never told Floki about it.
フローキに話したことはねェ
Even if he did know, he wouldn't mobilize his entire army just to piss me off.
たとえ知っていたとしても、オレへの嫌がらせのためだけに 全軍を動員するなんてことはありえねェ。
So, it must be a coincidence.
なら…やっぱり偶然か…？
No. It doesn't matter.
いや。そんなこたァどうでもいい
The real problem is that Wales is going to turn into a sea of fire in the spring.
問題は…春にはウェールズが火の海になっちまうってことだ！！
Damn.
クソッ！
Think. I don't have time.
考えろ！時間はねェ。
How can I solve this before spring?
春先までに何ができる！？
Should I lead a revolt with the prince?
王子を立てて反旗をひるがえす…
No. Thorkell's army of 500 men are the only ones who I could count on.
いや…まともに使えんのはトルケルの兵500だけだ。
Our army doesn't have enough men.
まだまだ戦力差がありすぎる
It would take some time to convince some of the generals to join me.
将軍たちを引き込むにも、根回しの時間が…
I could instigate a rebellion among the English again.
イングランドの連中をまたたきつけるってのはどうだ！？
No. Wales would end up becoming the main battlefield anyway.
ダメだ！結局はウェールズが主戦場になる！
Stop trying to think of a plan that involves a fight.
戦う方向で考えるな！
One of the king's assassins might try to go after Canute in the midst of the confusion.
それに…ドサクサに乗じて、 王の刺客がクヌート殿下を狙いに来るかもしれん…
Home.
故郷…
Don't talk to me about home now.
今さら…！
Far, far to the west, across the sea...
はるかな西、海の向こう…
there lies a new world where the trees are laden with fruit...
たわわに果実が実り、
and grassy plains cover the land.
真っ青な草原が波打つ新天地
It's Vinland.
ヴィンランドだ…
Thorfinn.
トルフィン
It's Vinland!
ヴィンランドだ！
After you go home and things have settled down, let's head for Vinland together!
故郷に戻って、少し落ち着いたら… 一緒に彼の地を目指そう！
Why?
なんで…
You said it too, right?
お前も言っていたじゃないか！
You said that Thors wanted to go, too.
トールズも行きたがっていたと。
Thors came to Iceland to escape battle.
トールズは戦いを逃れてアイスランドに来たんだ。
If he were still alive...
生きていれば…！
I'm sure he would have tried to go there, too.
トールズも彼の地を目指したに違いない
A place without slaves or war,
奴隷や戦もない
where everyone can live in peace.
誰もが平和に暮らせる、
A warm and fertile land.
豊かで暖かな地。
Let's build a country like that.
そんな国を作ろう
If it's in Vinland...
ヴィンランドなら…
If it's in Vinland, I'm sure we could do it!
ヴィンランドなら、きっと…！
By the way, speaking of Wales...
そういや…ウェールズっていやァさ。
that's where you went when you were running away from me, right?
お前、オレに追われてあそこに逃げ込んだじゃんよ
What was your trick?
ありゃ一体、どーゆーカラクリだったんだ？
Why did the people of Wales help you Danes?
なんでウェールズ人たちが、デーン人のお前に味方したんだ？
My mother's grave is there.
お袋の墓がある。
That land...
あの地は…
is my home.
オレの故郷…
It's my country.
オレの国だ
The land is poor but the people are full of pride.
土地は貧しくとも、民は誇り高い。
It's the country my mother loved.
お袋の愛した国だ
I see.
そっかァ。
Well, you know, sorry to hear that.
そいつァま～…何だな。お気の毒様だな
That information is just between us, tell no one.
この話は誰にも言うんじゃねェぞ
I know.
わあってるよ
His Highness Canute's vassal.
クヌート殿下の従士！
Askeladd, son of Olaf.
ウォラフの子、アシェラッド殿。
Come forth.
御前に進まれよ
Now what?
…ったく
Why...
オレって奴ァ…
is luck never on my side in the 11th hour?
どうしてこう、土壇場のツキがないのかね…
