00:00:37 West Gothia
00:01:10 Far up, In the cold and dark north -
00:01:14 Was the kingdom, West Gothia,
00:01:21 where three mighty clans
00:01:35 In this darkness the Christian faith
00:01:42 But for one woman, the monastary felt,
00:01:47 held without her consent.
00:01:50 Separated from her beloved, sentenced
00:02:04 Cecilia.

00:02:46 Did something happen?
00:02:49 You haven't visited
00:02:56 Yes, your penance is soon finished.
00:03:05 You are a "Folkung" friend,
00:03:09 I am sure that many
00:03:20 You need a man, Cecilia.
00:03:23 It would strenthen your position.
00:03:27 I have sworn to wait for him.
00:03:33 Prepare for the worst. - He's alive.
00:03:40 That information is several years old.
00:03:43 - I will wait for him.
00:03:51 Then I will have no man.
00:03:59 ARN - The kingdom at the end of the road
00:04:59 -Robbers?
00:05:23 Get them!
00:06:16 Tilt the bow!
00:06:28 -Open the gate!
00:06:34 It's the castle lord! open the gate!
00:07:38 Are you allright, sir?
00:07:43 -Who shot the arrow?
00:07:47 We where training and saw you where in trouble.
00:07:55 Send him in.
00:08:05 You wished to see me, sir.
00:08:08 - Your name?
00:08:16 You're a most skillful archer,
00:08:21 Thank you, sir.
00:08:23 -In what kingdom is Austin?
00:08:27 My name is Harald Oysteinsson,
00:08:36 My name is Arn Magnusson
00:08:44 Who would belive it?
00:08:50 And a friend. Thank you.
00:08:54 It was my family that helped king Knut
00:09:01 Is Knut Eriksson, King?
00:09:05 You must have been gone long.
00:09:17 Do you know of Magnus Folkesson
00:09:21 Of course, You bet I do.
00:09:27 When?
00:09:30 He passed two winters ago.
00:09:46 And you, how did you end up here?
00:09:58 Was Magnus Folkesson your father?
00:10:03 I am sorry. I am truly sorry.
00:10:10 You have served our order faithfully
00:10:17 This is your way out of here.
00:10:24 West Gothia...
00:11:09 Cecilia. Come.
00:11:41 Cecilia...
00:11:46 Gud has sent you,
00:11:54 What can I forgive you for, mother?
00:12:00 My sins against you.
00:12:06 I wanted to prevent yours and
00:12:23 Give me my child! No!!!
00:12:31 I wanted to punish you, since I
00:12:50 I never wished for...
00:12:54 - the life of the monastary.
00:12:59 It was my fathers will.
00:13:03 He sent me here -
00:13:07 behind these walls...
00:13:18 Yes, You are a good person, Cecilia.
00:13:23 Good hearted and forgiving.
00:13:30 Your prayers could shorten
00:13:38 Can you forgive me?
00:13:45 Can you forgive me?
00:13:52 Only God can forgive you.
00:13:55 I curse you.
00:14:00 I curse you!
00:14:32 Sir! Message from headquarters, sir.
00:14:58 - He is tired. -Tired!
00:15:18 That's enough.
00:15:24 He was asking for it!
00:15:31 You make two mistakes, Harald.
00:15:33 First, your sword is to heavy.
00:15:36 This? I would have picket a bigger one.
00:15:40 Secondly, you fight like a viking.
00:15:43 With respect my Lord,
00:15:51 I have received orders from Jerusalem.
00:15:54 The Grandmaster wants us to join
00:15:58 I want you to come with me
00:16:03 Thank you, my lord!
00:16:06 I humbly thank you. It will be an honour
00:16:15 Then you have picked the right man.
00:16:44 Nice day.
00:17:05 It has gotten rather hot.
00:17:11 If I only had some ale...
00:17:13 Save your strength, Harald.
00:17:21 Ale, ale, ale, ale, ale...
00:18:23 Enemy forces are moving north.
00:18:31 They must be planning something.
00:18:59 What are the sarace like?
00:19:06 They are like us
00:19:12 But their leader Saladin
00:19:23 Is it true that you are the only one
00:19:29 Saladin is far from defeated.
00:19:36 Isn't it just a matter of time?
00:19:46 We must have faith, Harald.
00:19:52 And what if we can't conquer evil?
00:19:55 Then we die.
00:20:07 Heat during the day and icy cold nights...
00:20:15 I allready miss the fiords.
00:20:27 But my time here is soon at an end.
00:20:32 At the next full moon, I will return home.
00:21:00 I am sorry for the loss of
00:21:04 But in times of sorrow one must
00:21:11 I have spoken with the King's Jarl Birger Brosa.
00:21:16 I have no reason to doubt his word
00:21:21 I would like to see a reverent mother from
00:21:27 And now there is an opening.
00:21:34 Would you consider becoming reverent mother
00:21:49 Thank you for this generous offer -
00:21:55 but I can not and will not
00:21:59 You won't?
00:22:03 I have endured my punishment.
00:22:07 At the next full moon I leave Gudhem
00:22:12 I will await my bethrothed there.
00:22:54 Where did that come from?
00:23:04 It belongs to the beduins in our territory.
00:23:12 Proceed to the grandmasters castle.
00:23:17 -I have promised them our protection.
00:23:23 They are spies. They give us
00:24:03 My lord...
00:24:28 Get her!
00:24:36 -That's enough!
00:24:40 I am Arn de Gothia. This is my territory.
00:24:46 I am carrying out my duty to the cross.
00:24:49 Your duty to the cross
00:24:54 -But they are Saracen!
00:24:59 -Whose side are you on?
00:25:04 You leave, saracen lover.
00:25:15 He's a coward!
00:25:17 Stay out of this, Harald.
00:25:52 -Let's go.
00:30:04 Al Ghouti...
00:30:07 We thank you for coming.
00:30:12 God sent you, to our rescue.
00:30:19 He has seen your sorrow.
00:30:23 God tests our hearts through pain and sorrow.
00:31:48 Sir...
00:31:51 -de Gothia...
00:31:57 It is an honourable discharge,
00:32:06 The day after tomorrow my time here is due.
00:32:23 I am well aware, de Gothia, that my predecessor
00:32:29 -but to me you are just another subordinate.
00:32:37 -Departure?
00:32:40 Departure? When we're about to crush
00:32:51 Turning tail on the eve of battle, de Gothia...
00:33:01 You are free to leave.
00:33:08 But if you leave...
00:33:30 I have received news that Saladin and his army
00:33:33 -here, by the lake of Tiberias
00:33:39 We, shall march directly to Tiberias...
00:33:43 ...and take him by surprise. Is that clear?
00:33:48 There is not a single drop of water on the
00:33:54 I must agree with de Gothia.
00:34:00 Saladin's army is bigger than ours.
00:34:04 -We can not meet him in the desert.
00:34:09 And that is why we shall defeat him.
00:34:16 Under it has no Christian army
00:34:27 It was because of the true cross
00:34:33 And now we shall be victorious again.
00:34:36 Or do you doubt the power of the true cross?
00:34:41 It is not the true cross that I doubt,
00:34:46 You will obey my orders.
00:35:04 You are right, de Gothia.
00:35:07 But he is in command now.
00:35:23 When do we ride on? Where will the battle be?
00:35:28 You will not ride with us, Harald.
00:35:30 I will ride where you ride!
00:35:34 I release you from service.
00:35:40 I will fight by your side!
00:35:47 I am not afraid to die.
00:35:52 I had hoped that we
00:35:55 Now I send you ahead.
00:35:58 One day we will meet there again.
00:37:58 Halt!
00:38:14 We raise our tents here.
00:38:28 Master we can not set up camp here.
00:38:35 The men are exhausted. Raise the tents!
00:39:10 Pardon me... The templars
00:39:16 Their army stands south of the horn of Hattin.
00:39:19 -They intend to meet us in the desert.
00:39:28 After a great defeat
00:39:32 If God wills it...
00:39:53 I swear, I will come for you
00:40:01 I will wait for you.
00:40:27 What if he doesn't come back?
00:40:30 Then I will have no man.
00:41:11 You do not bring much with you
00:41:20 The King and Queen
00:41:26 I have also sent Magnus there.
00:41:32 So, now he knows?
00:42:12 I heard that you declined
00:42:18 I understand that you need
00:42:22 I have had all the time I need.
00:42:51 Blanka!
00:42:55 I am so happy to see you.
00:42:59 Good to see you again, Cecilia.
00:43:03 This is for you.
00:43:06 Come and meet our sons.
00:43:12 This is Jon. -Welcome
00:43:39 Magnus.
00:43:42 Mother.
00:43:59 Magnus, Don't stand there in the rain.
00:44:14 I only tell it like it is, even if it is
00:44:18 We have to be one step ahead
00:44:21 It will not be long until he makes a claim on the crown
00:44:27 I say, Let them come.
00:44:29 We can not handle it.
00:44:34 I know where you stand. But I will not
00:44:39 No, no, that is not what I mean. All I am
00:44:52 Ah but look,
00:44:58 Come, sitt down.
00:45:03 You really look radiant, Cecilia.
00:45:06 - And her future would be radiant also,
00:45:13 Brosa wants me as
00:45:16 It is an honorable task, Cecilia.
00:45:20 The power of the church is great,
00:45:25 We must try to place a Folkung -
00:45:29 in every important position
00:45:31 If Brosa is so enamoured with monastic life,
00:45:37 Min hustru har en skrap tunge.
00:45:42 My wife has a sharp tongue, but we know she means well
00:45:59 Am I disturbing you?
00:46:03 Come in.
00:46:11 Sit down.
00:46:36 You must have been wondering.
00:46:41 Your father...
00:46:46 Your father and I...
00:46:50 You don't have to...
00:46:56 Brosa says that he is dead.
00:47:02 He is, he is in my prayers.
00:48:23 Fire! Fire!
00:48:47 ALLAHU AKBAR !!!
00:49:01 ALLAHU AKBAR !!!
00:49:07 "Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory - Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value)." An-Nisa 4:74
00:49:26 True cross couldn't even save itself...
00:51:27 My name is Ebbe Sunesen.
00:51:38 The Danish king is very
00:51:43 Also in your kingdom.
00:51:47 He would like you to be reconciled
00:51:51 If he thinks I will freely give the crown
00:51:57 If Sverker Karlsson wanted to take the crown
00:52:04 Like you once took it from his father.
00:52:23 Let us be reasonable.
00:52:27 The clans have fought for many generations,
00:52:33 I do not think we want any more bloodshed.
00:52:44 Is the King feeling ill?
00:52:46 He would have been a lot better
00:53:09 Tell me,
00:53:14 I am Cecilia Algotsdotter.
00:53:20 A nun...
00:53:24 She does not look like a nun!
00:53:26 That is my mother you are talking about.
00:53:31 Is that so, my boy? Where is your father?
00:53:40 My condolances.
00:53:43 What do you mean?
00:53:46 Jerusalem has fallen.
00:53:49 The Templars where slaughtered like dogs.
00:53:56 All of them.
00:54:09 You lie!
00:54:12 I have sinned,
00:54:19 If you can best me in combat,
00:54:23 Magnus, Calm down.
00:55:42 Where am I?
00:55:45 Damaskus.
00:56:04 Why am I alive?
00:56:09 Ask my brother.
00:56:51 The conquered greet you,
00:56:55 I greet you, most worthy opponent.
00:57:02 Please, have a seat.
00:57:16 I have Jerusalem in my hand.
00:57:23 To show mercy
00:57:30 The Christians killed everyone when they took the Holy city
00:57:38 If you choose the path of revenge...
00:57:42 ...The Christians will come back
00:57:48 And the war will never end.
00:57:54 You speak wisely, Al Ghouti.
00:58:00 If all our enemies wher like you
00:58:11 It may be that one day...
00:58:14 ...we could share this great city
00:58:20 Take this dream of peace and unity
00:58:27 It is time for you to return home
00:58:40 You have a long journey ahead of you.
00:58:46 It is a great honour
00:58:53 I hope you will not only remember me
00:59:00 No, my king. That I could never do.
01:00:21 Our friendship will always remain,
01:00:27 I have to find a purpose for my life.
01:00:34 The monastic life is the only life I know.
01:01:39 Welcome back.
01:02:38 Cecilia...
01:02:57 It is you.
01:03:01 It is you!
01:03:04 It is you...
01:03:39 Mother?
01:04:17 I should never have brought you
01:04:21 If you wheren't known as a friend
01:04:23 - you and Cecilia would not
01:04:28 I followed you by my own choice.
01:04:31 I did it to be able to Marry Cecilia
01:04:36 Arn, You are my friend...
01:04:38 and I promised you my support
01:04:41 Nothing would make me happier
01:04:44 But I must listen to Brosa
01:04:48 Love...
01:04:51 Love is for drones and weaklings
01:04:54 You have your priviliges and rights,
01:04:59 And you have obligations to your clan
01:05:03 I have sworn an oath!
01:05:05 Oath!!!
01:05:07 You where just a child
01:05:11 You are going against your King...
01:05:13 ... against your clan ...
01:05:16 For a promise you made while you
01:05:18 You are a "Folkung"
01:05:23 Eskil, talk to him!
01:05:39 I know what your love for Cecilia
01:05:41 Believe me, I know
01:05:44 ... but there is something to what Brosa is saying.
01:05:48 It would be best if you married
01:05:54 Brosa is right
01:05:56 If we do not watch our step,
01:06:06 I have sworn an oath in front of God,
01:06:09 ...to marry Cecilia.
01:06:12 A holy oath, Brosa.
01:07:18 Arn Magnusson,
01:06:09 ... that I woulld marry Cecilia.
01:07:23 - It is a great joy and a relief
01:07:33 Cheers!
01:07:42 Magnus.
01:07:46 Look around. Everyone is having a good time
01:07:53 Brosa would have enjoyed this.
01:07:59 I didn't think he could resist
01:08:06 It is a great...
01:08:10 It is a great honour to
01:08:16 With so beautiful and good
01:08:20 Not in the least that man there.
01:08:24 The greatest warrior in the North.
01:08:28 If you ever need a
01:08:34 then you know that
01:08:41 So on behalf of Norway...
01:08:48 Beloved Arn, beloved Cecilia.
01:08:51 Good luck and cheers!
01:10:15 Are you cold?
01:10:27 - No, this is to hot.
01:11:07 Have we changed that much?
01:11:12 Our souls are the same.
01:11:15 You are the Cecilia, that I remember.
01:11:43 Our new home, Cecilia.
01:11:49 I would never have imagined
01:12:04 Everyone here is a free man
01:12:10 You could not have chosen better,
01:12:15 - This is Sune Folkesson.
01:12:19 Now I will show you where we will live.
01:12:36 What do you think?
01:12:39 Birch trees...
01:12:43 Very nice.
01:12:48 A gift from our Saracen friends.
01:13:02 We are the first in west Gothia with
01:13:05 and a birchwood in our bedroom.
01:14:59 6 years later.
01:15:10 Father!
01:15:15 Father! Father!
01:15:26 Are you going out shooting with Sune?
01:15:30 Then father will continue training the men.
01:15:35 Sigge!
01:15:44 Your turn.
01:15:52 Not to bad.
01:16:02 You will have to find that arrow.
01:16:10 Don't come back without it
01:16:53 Alde!
01:17:11 Sten, have you seen Alde?
01:17:13 Yes, a moment ago.
01:17:42 Women and children inside
01:18:01 Get Arn.
01:18:08 Is this your beautiful mother?
01:18:11 Let her go!
01:18:24 The famous templar...
01:18:30 We where just passing
01:18:35 I was almost hit by an arrow.
01:18:39 It is hard to separate friend from foe.
01:18:44 You should keep better watch of your family, Arn.
01:18:50 Especially not now as your King,
01:19:09 Why has no one told me this?
01:19:14 Unrest! Yes unrest.
01:19:23 While you argue, Sverker Karlsson
01:19:28 You have been fighting for six years.
01:19:34 It is about time you two make peace.
01:19:48 How long does he have?
01:19:51 I don't know. He shits blood
01:20:01 Sverker Karlsson has appointed
01:20:04 And he has got the backing of the Danish King.
01:20:14 We are not ready to meet
01:20:19 We must buy some time.
01:20:23 What?
01:20:25 There is only one solution.
01:20:29 We must relinquish the crown.
01:20:34 Arn!
01:20:42 Erik, take me to your father.
01:20:46 We have no choice.
01:20:51 We Offer Sverker Karlsson the throne -
01:20:55 as long as Erik will be his successor.
01:21:01 If we can get Knut to agree.
01:21:11 Arn...
01:21:18 I came when I heard.
01:21:29 Why is God punishing me like this?
01:21:33 Letting me die in my own feces. Like satans hounds.
01:21:40 Don't worry my son.
01:21:45 He will get me over on the other side.
01:22:00 I know why you are here, Arn.
01:22:04 You want Sverker Karlsson
01:22:09 Am I right?
01:22:13 It is the only solution.
01:22:17 That or war.
01:22:23 Our condition is that Sverker Karlssons
01:22:28 and Erik becomes successor.
01:22:31 You must stand by him, Arn, no matter what.
01:22:37 If Sverker Karlsson touches
01:22:41 Promise to stand behind him
01:22:45 You have my word.
01:22:48 That is good.
01:22:54 That is good.
01:23:08 Hurry, get on the dock.
01:24:13 The King's sword.
01:24:43 May I introduce my brothers friends.
01:24:47 Eskil Magnusson, lord of Arnaes.
01:24:51 Arn Magnusson, lord of Forsvik.
01:24:58 Your reputation preceeds you.
01:25:02 And yours follow you, Sverker Karlsson.
01:25:06 I have heard that you are a man
01:25:13 I walk the same path as my clan.
01:25:20 I value my friendship with the Folkung clan greatly
01:25:26 And so does my Jarl.
01:25:53 I must return to Forsvik.
01:25:58 I would like you and your sons to come back with me.
01:26:04 I promised Knut that I would watch over Erik.
01:26:10 His place is here at Visingsoe.
01:26:15 I will not give Sverker Karlsson the
01:26:24 Blanka is to brave for her own good.
01:26:31 Sverker Karlsson
01:26:33 He would not hesitate to harm Erik.
01:26:38 No, that is what I am afraid of.
01:26:42 We can not just leave them at Visingsoe.
01:26:46 We must send someone to watch over them.
01:27:06 You leave Forsvik tonight.
01:27:09 It is not a small thing I am asking of you,
01:27:17 At Forsvik they hated me
01:27:20 I never had the chance
01:27:23 -And what is your worth?
01:27:29 A good soldier? You couldn't even
01:27:36 Maybe I didn't want to watch her...
01:27:45 A traitor... I should hang you.
01:27:51 But it would probably please the King,
01:28:03 Welcome.
01:28:19 look at him.
01:28:22 Get up,
01:28:28 Look at him.
01:28:32 Look at him!
01:28:37 Look at Erik our Jarl.
01:28:41 He looks like a drunk... arrow.
01:28:53 Sverker!
01:29:00 Is that how a King speaks to his Jarl?
01:29:02 Cecilia Blanka must have forgotten
01:29:06 Sverker Karlsson has shown great
01:29:13 And what does he get in return?
01:29:19 You are very beautiful.
01:29:23 But as my marshall says.
01:29:27 I have no reason
01:29:30 I have no reason to show you hospitality.
01:29:33 You can leave.
01:29:51 - Come.
01:29:57 Your sons are old enough
01:30:27 One, two, three. Good.
01:30:32 five! six! one! two...
01:30:42 I have seen so much evil.
01:30:45 So much death.
01:30:55 I prayed to God, that I would never have to
01:31:01 But if Sverker draws his sword,
01:31:09 I am with you every moment.
01:31:16 God has a special task for you.
01:31:22 To make peace.
01:31:37 My Marshall believes that you serve two masters.
01:31:43 And what does the King think?
01:31:49 I have not made up my mind yet.
01:31:53 You have served me well, in my army,
01:32:01 I have only one master.
01:32:04 King Sverker.
01:32:10 Good. Then I will let you prove it.
01:32:14 Tonight you will tell Knut's sons
01:32:19 and that you will help them to escape.
01:32:24 Tonight you will take them out of the castle.
01:32:27 Down by the water two men
01:32:34 Take them far out to sea...
01:32:39 And drown them.
01:32:49 The two men that are with you, have orders
01:32:57 After this, I will decide, what
01:33:31 Here ends the Journey my little lords.
01:33:34 Sit down.
01:33:54 - Don't touch him!
01:34:14 - Damned traitor!
01:34:18 I am only doing my duty.
01:34:30 He is wounded.
01:34:33 Let me see.
01:34:38 He will be allright.
01:36:01 Where is Litlle-Knut?
01:37:28 Sverker Karlsson
01:37:32 Now he fears our vengence.
01:37:34 The Danes will be here soon.
01:37:36 It will take more than willpower
01:37:48 But I promise you,
01:38:48 God be with you, Magnus.
01:39:23 I know, you will be back.
01:40:41 I am to old for this.
01:40:45 You have my men.
01:41:46 Every slave and stable boy
01:41:50 We will never win.
01:41:54 We will strike them with an
01:41:59 Sverker Karlsson is a dead king.
01:42:02 It is not a small thing to kill a King.
01:42:08 Do you want to loose another brother?
01:42:25 He is just as stubborn as his father.
01:42:29 Just like you where.
01:42:32 I want peace, Eskil.
01:42:39 That is what my prayers are about.
01:42:46 I am proud of you, little brother.
01:45:14 Everything is ready.
01:45:19 I don't know...
01:45:41 Listen!
01:45:47 Do not doubt.
01:45:51 Have faith!
01:45:54 Faith in our victory!
01:45:58 We chose this place,
01:46:04 We chose this time,
01:46:13 Faith!
01:46:16 God is with the one
01:46:21 This is why we will win... peace!
01:46:38 Send the heavy cavalry.
01:46:42 Forward!
01:46:49 First formation - forward!
01:47:49 How will you win this?
01:48:01 Don't you think the dane will see
01:48:34 Are they trying to scare us?
01:48:41 Wait for my signal, Harald.
01:48:54 Ready!
01:48:59 Attack!
01:49:06 Ready!
01:49:14 Wait...
01:49:41 Now!
01:49:47 A trap...
01:50:01 Now!
01:50:14 Get ready again!
01:50:15 Attack!
01:50:39 Now!!!
01:50:59 ATTACK!!!
01:51:05 Norge!
01:53:51 - Kill him!
01:53:57 He killed my brother
01:54:02 You are the king now, Erik.
01:54:06 King!
01:54:37 Ride away from here!
01:57:08 I will never leave you again.
01:57:21 Are you hurt?
01:57:30 Arn... Arn!
01:58:18 Our Lady did not forsake us.
01:58:26 I love you.
01:58:29 I love you...
02:01:10 Arn Magnusson's wish for peace
02:01:14 By his grandson Birger Jarl.
02:01:17 He united the kingdom
02:01:29 ARN - The kingdom at the roads end.
