Show them who's in charge.

Yohan?

If the bear shows up,

just rattle this-

- and it will flee like a little dog.

Thanks.

- Look! Gullsi crossed the border!

- We got him.

Let's tell father.

Gullsi, not there.

Have you already

forgotten what I told you?

I'm sure this will make you remember.

Put out your hand.

Put out your hand.

Put out your hand!

I am a righteous man.

But if you don't do what I tell you,

I have to teach you a lesson.

Now are you going to tell us

where the fox den is?

Not even if you ask a million times.

Anna!

Anna!

Anna!

There's a bear behind you!

Get away!

Scramble!

- Hello! Go away!

- Wait!

Get away!

Why are you running?

Move off!

I didn't know

you were a shepherd at Eikeli's.

He's strict.

And you're sweaty.

I'll race you to the top!

Let's go down to the lake.

Gullsi? Rosa?

You're playing with the girl

next door and forgetting my cows?

I'm sorry.

Be glad Rakel and Tobias found them.

After you have eaten, you can

chop wood for the rest of the night.

What have you done?

I'm not allowed to give you butter.

What happened?

Anna from Eikeli's farm...

She screamed.

I ran over.

I chased away a bear.

But didn't you tell Nome?

Your father

would be very proud of you.

Take this shawl. It will keep you

warm when you're out shepherding.

Yohan!

- Are you injured?

- Eikeli... He...

Has he hit you?

The bear came back and I

scared it off. But the cows went mad.

And Rosa stepped in a fox trap.

It hurts.

You're burning up.

- Do you feel better now?

- A little bit. But my feet are cold.

Place your feet in here.

Nice and warm, huh?

Being a shepherd can

be a stinky job sometimes.

Come here.

It'll soon pass.

I need to go back to the cows.

Stay under this tree, okay?

- Oh, there he is.

- Yohan!

Where is the shawl?

Have you lost the shawl

I gave Katrine?

No, I just lent it to a girl

that was sick.

Oh, stop horsing around.

- You're soaked!

- The girl next door? Eikeli's girl?

Let me get you a shirt.

Here, drink this.

Anna?

Hi.

- Where's Anna?

- None of your business.

- Is she sick?

- You're crossing the border!

- Just tell me if she's sick.

- She's dead.

- You're lying. You're lying!

- You're crossing the border again!

If any of your cows cross over

to my side, I will kill you!

Your farmer must be crazy.

No!

Get away!

I told you to leave!

How dare you?

You will neverleave my cows again!

Do you hear me?

Gustav, Katrine.

You've got a job to do!

Yohan!

She's dead.

Yohan...

Rasmus! Rasmus!

Come here.

Help me up. Thank you.

- Do you need a hand with...

- No, does it look like I need help?

- Help the horse into the stable.

- Yes. Come on.
