The Vikings

I guess you can...

with your pretty,

dainty face spoiled.

But he was a good slave.

Kill him quick.

No...

No quick death for him.

What do you suggest

I do with him?

Nothing.

Nothing?

I want this slave alive.

You want him to live

after tearing your face apart?

Yes.

The sun will cross the sky

a thousand times...

before he dies.

And you'll wish

a thousand times...

that you were dead.

Kitala!

You can't kill the slave.

What do the runes say?

If Odin willed

that Eric should die...

Thor's hammer would sound

his death knell.

But the sky is silent.

The curse of Odin

waits on him...

who kills the slave.

Then no man shall kill him.

Let the tide of the sea do it!

Bind him! Cast him into

the slop pool at lowtide.

Take him out.

You'll not kill him...

but you throw him

into the slop pool...

to be drowned

and eaten by crabs!

Then let the crabs

be cursed by Odin!

That's my decision.

If he survives the pool,

what then?

If he's still alive

when the tide turns...

then any fool who fishes him out

can have him.

Survives.

Odin...

send a wind and turn the tide.

Put her in the testing board.

I think I'll go and watch

that slave drowning.

Stay here!

You'll see something

more interesting.

It does look rather

an interesting game.

It's not a game.

It's Odin's test

for unfaithful wives.

Is she an unfaithful wife?

Ask Einar.

Her husband says she is.

Which is he?

He's throwing the axes.

But if she's innocent?

Her husband will succeed.

The braids will be cut.

Supposing he misses the braids

and hits her?

Well, then, she's guilty.

Oh, I see.

But what happens

if he misses...

both the girl and the braids?

Three misses and we drown him.

One!

You're too drunk!

You'll split her wide open!

Drunk, am I?

I haven't had enough!
