1
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,312
1'500 years ago most of Europe...

2
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,313
had abandoned its own believes
and turned to the Christian faith.

3
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,359
Only in the North did the people
hold on to the Gods of their ancestors.

4
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,512
The most powerful
of these Gods was Odin.

5
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,990
He reigned among the stars in Valhalla,
and his ravens...

6
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,478
gave him wisdom and memory.

7
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,876
But whilst the fire
of the ancient powers faded...

8
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,513
a wonderous tale arose
that captured the hearts of the people.

9
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,590
lt told of a blacksmith
who slew a mighty dragon...

10
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,232
and won a legendary treasure:
the dragon gold.

11
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,037
Too many.

12
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,758
Where are we going?
- Quick!

13
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,513
We can't hold the south wall any longer!
- Take our son and go, Sieglind.

14
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,194
l'm not leaving you!

15
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,637
Siegfried!

16
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,198
Xanten whelp!

17
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,434
Go now, go.

18
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,912
My brother always watches out for me!

19
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,674
This way, my lady.

20
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,592
What do we do?
- We must cross here, my queen.

21
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,834
Over there! Come on!

22
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,992
Get up here, Siegfried.
Hold on tight.

23
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,514
Hold on. My son.

24
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,070
Little early for a morning swim,
isn't it? Who are you, boy?

25
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,794
What happened?

26
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,478
What happened?
- l don't know.

27
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,274
l can't remember.

28
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,799
Oh...

29
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:27,120
12 YEARS LATER

30
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,953
12 YEARS LATER

31
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,352
What do you see?
- Be patient, child.

32
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,312
Odin's power is in the runes:
they never lie,

33
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,630
but they won't be rushed.
- Hallbera, don't keep me waiting.

34
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,712
Fire will rain down
from the sky very soon.

35
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,318
Tell me more!
- And the light of that fire...

36
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,278
will reveal your destiny.

37
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,716
So far from home.
What destiny could l have here?

38
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,518
After the fire
a man will come,

39
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,998
a man as strong as you.

40
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,755
The warrior's strengh will match
your own. He'll even beat you in battle.

41
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,112
No one's ever done that before.

42
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,158
No one else ever will.

43
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,992
We should anchor for the night soon.

44
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,758
l better get the cargo
ready for the king.

45
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,912
You work on this till it's cool.
- All right.

46
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,917
Greetings. How can l help you?
- We look for Eyvind, the blacksmith.

47
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,917
That's me.

48
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,432
They say your iron's the best around.

49
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,716
What can l do for you?
- What swords have you got?

50
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,318
Right now nothing at all.

51
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,633
l can see a lot of ''nothing''
right there inside. - Oh, those...

52
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,470
were made for King Gunther of Burgund.
- But he's not here,

53
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:54,154
and we are.

54
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,790
Meaning that you plan to steal
King Gunther's property?

55
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,433
''Stealing'', he says. Just count yourself
lucky we aren't offended.

56
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,552
Erik.
l think your iron is getting cold.

57
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,397
Good day.

58
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,232
l don't like Saxons.
- l do once in a while.

59
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,232
Yeah, l know...
for sword practice.

60
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,632
Look at that pale path of light...

61
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,478
That's the road to Valhalla...

62
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,513
l wish l could see them sitting
up there, all the great heroes...

63
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,158
at table with the Gods.

64
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,677
And they are watching over us mortals.
- But why do they care about us?

65
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,797
They need us
just as much as we need them.

66
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,270
We'll fight on their side,
when the evil powers attack us.

67
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,637
How do we know what they want us to do?
- They map out our destinies.

68
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,753
Think about all the signs in the sky.
And if they see from up there,

69
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,230
that we do something that's bad for us,
they get furious!

70
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,750
The Christians say
their God is all about forgiveness.

71
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,789
The Christians.

72
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,758
They are a strange lot.

73
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,637
Oh, look!

74
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,232
lt's Ragnarok!
The Gods go to war!

75
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,752
l want to take a closer look!
- No, no.

76
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,628
Don't go! We should never meddle
with the Gods! Never!

77
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,632
You're the woman from the longship.

78
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,392
And you're the man from the smithy.

79
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,552
A tamer of fire and the elements.

80
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,912
Then maybe you can tell me
what this is.

81
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,917
Some kind of strange metal. l've never
seen something like this before.

82
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:35,192
lmagine the weapon
one might forge from it.

83
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,632
ls this metal the reason you came here?
- No.

84
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,917
You are.

85
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,038
Never mind him, blacksmith.

86
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,354
Tell me something.

87
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,318
Do you believe in destiny?

88
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,392
Why?

89
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,230
We were both sent a sign
that would bring us together here.

90
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,510
That sign was big enough
for the whole country to see.

91
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,152
The only ones here
are you and me.

92
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,598
Today the runes promised...

93
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,110
to lead me to a man whose strength
would be as great as mine.

94
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,274
And you defeated me.

95
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,110
l just wrestled you down.
- No one has ever done that before.

96
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,837
Until now.

97
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,834
So you see...

98
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,598
We were meant to meet.

99
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,512
Why don't you stay here with me?

100
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,638
Oh, Erik, l would love to.

101
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,072
But like you l have duties to perform.

102
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,870
But l will wait for you.
- But where will l find you?

103
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,197
lceland.

104
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,910
But there might be more
than just one Brunhild in lceland.

105
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,638
Not more than one
who's queen.

106
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,633
You're the queen of lceland?

107
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,312
Yes.

108
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,518
Does that make a difference?

109
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,432
No.

110
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:41,112
Not to how l feel about you.
- Good.

111
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,790
Because no matter what happens,
l will love you forever.

112
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,438
l promise l will come.

113
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,672
Well, the Gods wanted it to happen.

114
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,672
But l'm a blacksmith,
and she is a queen.

115
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,150
Up north are many tales
about blacksmiths who became kings.

116
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,632
Really?

117
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,633
There've always been things
that are different about you, son.

118
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,598
Maybe she felt them, too.

119
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:37,797
Father, take me with you on your journey
to Burgund this year. - Why?

120
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,717
Maybe the river holds an answer
to what happened before you found me.

121
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,472
You were never curious about it before.

122
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,672
lt never really mattered before.

123
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,078
Maybe last night changed you.

124
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,472
l don't know anything about myself,

125
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,990
l've never even left the smithy.
And now l feel l must.

126
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,510
Let's get the boat ready.
We leave tomorrow morning.

127
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,957
Thank you!

128
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,834
Thank you, father.

129
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,634
What's that?

130
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,400
ls it a war?

131
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,552
lt sure looks like that.
But who is the enemy?

132
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,472
King Gunther is at peace
with the Saxons.

133
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,757
Up here!

134
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,671
Alberich.
- Lord Hagen.

135
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,393
l see you have not changed.

136
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,357
Nor have you!
- l got your message.

137
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,830
What is it you want now?
- Fafnir, the dragon, is awake.

138
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,434
You must convince King Gunther...

139
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,592
to gather his best warriors
and kill Fafnir.

140
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,592
Why would l put their lives
at risk and mine?

141
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,910
l don't care about the dragon.
- You wouldn't say that...

142
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,478
if you knew what was hidden in his cave.
- Go on!

143
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,632
The ancient treasure hoard
of the Nibelungs!

144
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,313
You've been babbling about that
ever since they cast you out...

145
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,439
for trying to thieve it. Now you want me
to believe that the hoard is here?

146
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,273
The dragon was sleeping on it!

147
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:14,273
So you've wasted years of the mortal
Life they cursed you with,

148
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:17,750
and the treasure was under your nose
the whole while!

149
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:20,157
That's funny.

150
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,312
You won't laugh so hard
when you've seen it.

151
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,630
You've never dreamed
of such a hoard of gold and jewels.

152
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,153
But why would l help you
and not keep the whole hoard for myself?

153
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,670
We know each other too well, you and l.
Some of my blood...

154
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,432
courses through your veins too.
- Don't ever dare to speak of it!

155
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,632
You know it's true.
- Be quiet with you!

156
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,030
l know that you're ashamed of
''where you are coming from''.

157
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,030
But remember how many times
l've helped you with my magic.

158
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,438
We could help each other now.

159
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,677
Very well,

160
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,432
l choose the best of the king's men.

161
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,039
Move fast.

162
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,396
Then again...
why do things have to be halves?

163
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,712
All right, Kriemhild. - Ready?
Let it go.

164
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,312
Go!

165
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,233
So much for the pidgeon.
- l must work on its hunting technique.

166
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,831
lf he ever comes back...

167
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,792
Good to see you!
- Good to see you, my friend.

168
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,794
There he is!

169
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,316
Are you sure he'll come back to you?
- Of course!

170
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,513
He knows l'm his lord and master!
- Very well, ''lord and master'',

171
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,068
go get him back!

172
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,838
What a beautiful bird.

173
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,392
He belongs to me!
- What's it's name?

174
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,313
Arminius.
- Oh, like the great hero who...

175
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,951
chased the Romans out of the country.
- Yes! Now give him back to me, boy.

176
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,918
Who are you calling a boy,
boy?

177
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,430
l'm the king's brother,
and l call common men what l please.

178
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,918
Did you hear that? What?

179
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,754
What's that?

180
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,432
Aha.

181
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,913
He says l'm no common man,
but the tamer of fire and the elements,

182
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,992
and that's what you should call me!

183
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,036
Shall we try again?
- Stop this nonsense, Erik!

184
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,912
Give back the hawk to Prince Giselher!

185
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,517
At once!

186
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,192
l hoped you wouldn't give up so easily.

187
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,478
l'll get you a new one.

188
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,038
Eyvind!
- Oh, Lord Dankwart!

189
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,630
l'm glad you got here safely.
- We saw the devastation...

190
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,790
coming up the river.
- lt is a dragon. Fafnir, they call it.

191
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,432
The monster came out of nowhere and
started killing, destroying everything.

192
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,274
l will tell the king you are here!
- Yah. Thank you!

193
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,032
Now, look at this.
This is even better.

194
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,957
You have a good eye for blades, my king.
Forges and tempered by my son,

195
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,313
here it's well balanced in order to make
it move like an extension of your arm.

196
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,756
You've learned your craft well!
- Thank you, my king.

197
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,230
l've always said: There's no better
weapon maker in the land.

198
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,519
Eyvind, you arrived just in time.
l need your best iron to help my men...

199
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,478
fight the dragon.
- Brother,

200
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,513
with this sword l could fight the dragon
at your side. Let me come with you!

201
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,309
You know my answer, Giselher.
lt would not be wise to put 2 princes...

202
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,313
of Burgund in danger at the same time.
- You handle it very well!

203
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,275
The balance is perfect for you. Please,
keep it. lt's yours. A simple gift.

204
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,636
Thank you.
- This creature should be hunted down.

205
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,712
l too ask to join your quest
against the dragon.

206
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,874
That is a task for only those warriors
most honoured and favored by the king.

207
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,632
Please excuse his impetuous youth,
my king.

208
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,998
l know exactly how you feel.

209
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,833
What did you think, Erik?
That the king would be waiting for you

210
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,992
to kill the dragon for him?
- l can do it!

211
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,350
With your mouth you can! Make sure
it reaches the right temperature.

212
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,556
Aren't you helping me with this?
-lt's your sword.

213
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,516
Didn't l teach you how to do it?
- Yes, you did.

214
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,594
Then do it!

215
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,398
l will love you forever.

216
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,078
To the forest of Fafnir!

217
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,152
May God be with us
and grant us swift victory!

218
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,712
Don't stare at the princess.
lt's not polite.

219
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,234
l'm not starring.

220
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,114
She is, though.

221
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,632
Tamer of fire and the elements,
may l enter?

222
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,872
You may.
And please do call me Erik!

223
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,196
And l'm Prince Giselher.
- Well, would you care...

224
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,518
to pump the bellows, prince?

225
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,797
Thank you!

226
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,313
l came to thank your father for
his sword. l neglected to do so earlier.

227
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,313
Oh, he's asleep now, but l'll
let him know that you stepped by.

228
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,228
l've never met a blacksmith
who knows how to use the sword so well.

229
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,710
My father always says
you can't forge a good sword...

230
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,710
if you don't know how to use one.
What about your father?

231
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,232
My father
was killed in battle years ago.

232
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,878
My mother died soon after.

233
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,433
How do you know when the iron's ready?
- The feel. The way it looks.

234
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,512
This one will need hammering for days.

235
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,310
lsn't it wonderful to make such things?
- Do you have a talent or a craft?

236
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,392
l'm a prince.
l'm not allowed to work.

237
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,352
lt would disgrace my brother, the king.

238
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,910
Don't you get bored?
- Yes! lf it weren't for my sister,

239
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,392
l'd go mad.
- She's quite a pretty girl.

240
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,114
Every nobleman in our kingdom wants her.
She doesn't want any of them.

241
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,590
Who does she want then?
- Why do you ask so many questions?

242
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,430
Are you smitten by her, too?
- My heart is elsewhere.

243
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,876
l just hope my brother is able
to kill the dragon.

244
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:55,232
The king!
The king is returning!

245
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,157
Gunther!

246
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,557
Gunther!

247
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,917
The dragon's hide was hard as iron.
Our weapons were useless against it.

248
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,794
Take him in.

249
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,918
He will be avenged, my lady!

250
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,154
l swear it!

251
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,712
This is your masterpiece, my son.

252
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,552
What will you call him?
- l don't know. Why?

253
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,992
A sword as great as this
deserves a name.

254
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,758
Then l shall call you Balmung!

255
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,550
Balmung? Balmung was the sword
of the last King of Xanten,

256
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,430
destroyed in battle
Why do you want to call it that?

257
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,198
l just like the sound of it.

258
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,637
Fafnir!

259
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,798
Come out!
Come out, you worm!

260
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:21,598
Fafnir! l'm right here!

261
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,997
That's it.

262
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,594
Come out! Come on!

263
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,352
lf you are wise,
you will leave empty-handed.

264
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,672
This gold is not for humankind.

265
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,354
lt belongs to us.

266
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,917
l think it belonged to the dragon.
- We are the keepers of the gold.

267
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,918
Gold that only we can hold.

268
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,556
The hoard was ours
'til Fafnir stole it from us.

269
00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:24,232
Heed our warning,
or you too will pay.

270
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,272
Who are you?
- We are the Nibelungs.

271
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,793
The people of mist and twilight.
You gave the gold back to us...

272
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,952
by slaying Fafnir.
And we thank you for it.

273
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,031
Thanks are very well, but l'm the one
who risked my life to kill the dragon!

274
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,033
That should be worth something.
- lt is not worth a single coin...

275
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,396
of this treasure,
not when it comes with a curse.

276
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,876
l don't believe in curses.
- The proof is outside.

277
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:01,037
Fafnir lies dead because of it.
- l think he lies dead because of me.

278
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,070
And what's this?
- This is he ring of the Nibelung,

279
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,752
the oldest thing in the hoard:
its heart.

280
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,876
The one who possesses it,
is the treasure's owner.

281
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,392
lt's beautiful.
- And as deadly to you...

282
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,958
as anything else here.

283
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,870
lt's going to take more than just words
to frighten me today.

284
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,358
l'll be back for it soon.

285
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,073
When the curse begins to bite, beware
of it. lt will find your weakness,

286
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,038
and through it, destroy you.

287
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,116
What sorcery's this?
- Give it back! -Who are you?

288
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:52,232
l should have known better.
- What?

289
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,910
The dragon's blood has made your skin
impenetrable. - Listen,

290
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,433
what's to stop me from killing you, too?
- The magical Tarnhelm!

291
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,472
You can keep it!
lt made me take your shape.

292
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,556
What do l need that for?
l look like me already.

293
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,870
Yes, but with it,
you can wear any shape you desire.

294
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,872
Prove it!
- Put it on your head.

295
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,913
Listen, are you trying to fool me?
- No! You must say the magic words!

296
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,913
''Shadows and vapors, all the same'',
and you must think of who it is...

297
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,390
you want to turn into.
- Shadows and vapors, all the same!

298
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,278
You look really ugly!

299
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,398
Then l must look like you.

300
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,078
Are you going to spare me?

301
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,152
Go!

302
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,550
Another mistake, young mortal.
Now you also own his enmity...

303
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,992
and the curse.
- Why? Who is he?

304
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,512
His name is Alberich,
and he was one of us.

305
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,353
But greed awoke in Alberich.
He wanted the treasure all for himself,

306
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,432
like you.
When he tried to steal it,

307
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,716
we cast him out
and stripped his immortality away.

308
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,913
What about if we make a bargain?
l'll only take half the treasure,

309
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,072
and you keep the rest.
Wouldn't that be fair?

310
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,073
Half the treasure, all the treasure,
or just that single Ring is enough...

311
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,152
to bring the whole curse down on you.

312
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,194
lt's all mine now.

313
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,072
Lady, you set tests for your suitors.

314
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,671
They are almost an insult to their rank.
These men who ask for your hand...

315
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,150
are royal kings and princes!
- And l'm a queen, their equal.

316
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,953
And l have the right in my own land
to make whatever laws l please.

317
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,953
Then tell them that the Queen of lceland
will only wed the man...

318
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,919
who passes the tests she sets,
and who can defeat her in single combat.

319
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,390
But no man can hope to succeed
at such tasks, Majesty.

320
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,276
One man will succeed.
And one man will marry me.

321
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,670
And l will know that man
as soon as l see him. You may go.

322
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,915
You're thinking of the man you met
on the night the star fell, aren't you?

323
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,390
The blacksmith?
- l've thought of that man ever since.

324
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,713
And l will marry no one else, Hallbera.
Not a prince, not a king,

325
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,878
not the Roman Emperor himself.

326
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,510
And if your handsome sword-maker
does appear, what then?

327
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,597
And is he strong and brave enough
to pass whatever tests you've planned?

328
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,593
He has defeated me once already.
Only he will defeat me again.

329
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,918
The runestones do not lie.

330
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,677
lt's Erik.

331
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,592
Where have you been? - Hunting.
Any luck?

332
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,632
What is it?
What does it look like?

333
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,718
lt's a dragon's claw.

334
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,758
Where did you find it?
- On a dragon's foot.

335
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,230
Of yourse you did.
You think you can fool your old father?

336
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,718
lf you don't like this claw...

337
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,434
how about its head?

338
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,752
What?

339
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,112
l don't believe it.
lt really is the dragon!

340
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,194
lt's wonderful.

341
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,112
Fafnir is dead!
Erik, the blacksmith...

342
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,112
killed the dragon!
- Yes, he's dead.

343
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,234
Do you hear?

344
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,874
The dragon is dead.

345
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,953
Erik killed the dragon!

346
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,918
lt's over, it's over.

347
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,594
Thanks, l'm fine.

348
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,672
Gunther!

349
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,638
Erik killed the dragon, alone.

350
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,310
This blacksmith must be blessed by God.
- Or the devil.

351
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,350
He succeeded where you and 12 of your
best warriors failed.

352
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,232
Whatever power he used against the
Dragon he could use against you.

353
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,914
He did this form me.

354
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,477
Open your eyes, Hagen, and let your
suspicious mind have a holiday.

355
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,758
People of Burgund!
l command...

356
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,830
that Erik the blacksmith
be proclaimed a hero of the Kingdom!

357
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:06,275
Long may he be honoured for his great
victory! Long live the dragonslayer!

358
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,473
Even the honour of guarding such
a treasure would bring fame to Burgund.

359
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,473
And respect for its king will increase
beyond measure, once it is known...

360
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,950
that you have been entrusted
with the safety of the hoard.

361
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,990
My king, the dragonslayer is outside.
- Send him in.

362
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,993
lt sounds most attractive, Hagen,
but all of these benefits...

363
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,152
depend on what our young hero
has to say.

364
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,513
King Gunther, l am greatly honoured
by your offer to hold the treasure...

365
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,990
in safe-keeping for me. But...
- You don't trust the king?

366
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,997
l trusted him well enough to kill
a dragon on his behalf, Lord Hagen,

367
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,072
did you?
- That was a fair hit, Hagen.

368
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,510
Now, Erik, the word ''but''
usually means some difficulty.

369
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,837
My king,

370
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,790
it's only l'm not sure
your treasury has enough room.

371
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,190
Can l see your face?
- Oh, no! That would ruin everything!

372
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,796
He is my only son.
l brought him up all by myself.

373
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,632
The father of our savior!
- Not just that!

374
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,072
l'm also a sword maker,
favored by the kings.

375
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,872
And still a pagan!
- The hammer of Thor,

376
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,432
the God of thunder,
the working man's God...

377
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,352
is my favorite.
Are you baptized?

378
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,432
Yes,

379
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,078
but tonight l am pagan again.

380
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,598
Let's go get some water.

381
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,553
So what does a dragonslayer do now
that there are no dragons left to slay?

382
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,518
He goes back to his smithy.

383
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,959
With all the gold you brought back from
the cave, you don't need to work!

384
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,953
My father taught me the art
of changing charcoal and ore into iron,

385
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,270
and l enjoy doing it.

386
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,750
Defeat dragons with iron,
but win maidens with gold!

387
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,398
How many? One? Two? A dozen?

388
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:45,912
None.

389
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,278
My heart is pledged already.

390
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,476
And who is this fortunate lady?
High-born or low?

391
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,038
High, l think... or fear.

392
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,394
Maybe too high.

393
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,876
Perhaps she doesn't know
you love her so deeply,

394
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:11,513
all sorts of arrangements might be made
for such a great hero...

395
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,998
Would l know her?
- No.

396
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,074
She lives far away.

397
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,270
So. To whom is your heart pledged?
Are you married?

398
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,674
No, l'm not.

399
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,072
lf l ever marry,
it would only be for love.

400
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,678
Will you finally come to me?

401
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,678
l'm waiting for you, my love.

402
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,872
Do you know who you are at last?

403
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,590
They call me Erik the blacksmith,
Erik the dragonslayer,

404
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,873
and Erik, the hero of Burgund.

405
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,838
But these are just titles.

406
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,798
One honest, one honoured,

407
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,074
one honourable.

408
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,512
But none of them
are who you really are...

409
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:17,593
The twin kings have struck at Odinwood.
They burned out towns...

410
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,559
and took our people as slaves.
Even as we speak, Bonna is under siege.

411
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,030
Damn them. Damn them both.
We've lived in peace with the...

412
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:29,553
Twin Kings for almost 10 years.
- Yes, but for most of those 10 years,

413
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,952
Burgund's treasury hasn't been filled
to overflowing with Fafnir's hoard.

414
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,430
Greed will negate any treaty.
- How strong is their army?

415
01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:41,870
4'000, perhaps 5'000 men.
- We can match in strength.

416
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:46,393
But they're on the move. lt doesn't
matter. Send messengers to all ourtowns.

417
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:49,756
Muster the army of Burgund.
We'll leave at once. - My king...

418
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,753
Erik owes you no allegiance,
but he killed Fafnir on your behalf.

419
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,835
lf he agreed to join the army, it
certainly would encourage our warriors.

420
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,993
And discourage the enemy.

421
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:07,517
To meet a man who slew a dragon
would give anyone pause for thought.

422
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,315
Command... no,

423
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:14,313
ask that he rides with the Burgund host.
- Brother, l also wish to...

424
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,313
Giselher, l honour your intention.
But his is not about glory.

425
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,790
lf we don't come back,
you must live to defend Burgund.

426
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,392
And your sister.
Meanwhile we ride.

427
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:50,072
Go.

428
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:03,353
King of the Burgunds! My masters,
the good Kings Thorkwin and Thorkilt,

429
01:11:03,440 --> 01:11:06,318
do not wish fort his battle!

430
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,753
Since we outnumber you, l believe that.
- We will spare your lives and...

431
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:16,073
spare Burgund its certain devastation,
if you yield up to us the dragon's gold!

432
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:20,472
l am the wrong man to ask for the gold,
messenger. lf your masters...

433
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:24,997
want the gold they must take it up
with the man who slew the dragon.

434
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,991
Let me talk to them, my king.
- No,

435
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,470
l will never allow this!
We will fight them together.

436
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,154
lt is my treasure, my king. And enough
blood has been spilled over it already.

437
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,833
My King, if the dragonslayer
can help avoid more blood shed...

438
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,874
then let him.

439
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,992
lf he failes, we'll attack.

440
01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:15,074
Another messenger...

441
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,232
l hear you want something of mine.

442
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,150
l am the lord of the dragon's gold.
lf you want it,

443
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:32,237
you're welcome to try to take it.
But you'll have to fight me first!

444
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,918
Big words for a blacksmith!

445
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,390
lt takes more than gold
to make a man worthy to fight a king.

446
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,430
And it takes more than a crown
to make a man to be a king.

447
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:17,552
You're nothing more
than a Burgund whelp!

448
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,994
Xanten whelp!

449
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,592
You killed my father!

450
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,276
l am Siegfried!
Son of Siegmund, king of Xanten.

451
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,753
You're beaten, and your Kingdoms
will be devided between the kings...

452
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,718
of Burgund and Xanten.

453
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,392
l should kill you both
for what you did,

454
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,472
but that wouldn't give me
any satisfaction.

455
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,078
Just get out of my sight.

456
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,476
l want him tied
to the house of Burgund forever.

457
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:12,113
What do you have in mind, my king?
- My sister will marry him.

458
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,350
And l'm sure you will not find this
too difficult to arrange.

459
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:45,316
Go now!

460
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,878
Father, l'm awaken at last.

461
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:14,158
l finally know who l am.

462
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,272
A king and worthy, l hope,
of a queen.

463
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,750
Come to lceland, my love, and find out.
- Soon my love.

464
01:17:23,480 --> 01:17:27,473
But l've won a mighty treasure,
and l want to bring it home for you.

465
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:29,357
Siegfried,

466
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,632
you are the only treasure
that l wish for.

467
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:36,318
Hurry, my love,
l'm waiting.

468
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,318
Now, you sent for me.
What do you want?

469
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,313
Siegfried means to take the treasure
back to his father's castle in Xanten.

470
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,790
He must be stopped.
- A whole army couldn't stop him.

471
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,593
The king wants him bound to the house of
Burgund through marriage to Kriemhild.

472
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,070
But there is some other woman.
- What do you have in mind?

473
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,592
One of your spells or potions...

474
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:18,117
lf he could forget his other love and
find the princess attractive instead,

475
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,192
then the gold stays where it is.

476
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,872
l think l can help you.
lf the price is right.

477
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,350
What do you want?
- That boy took something from me.

478
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:35,034
lt looks like a mask. The man who knows
its secret can look like anyone else.

479
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,472
Siegfried knows that secret.
- lnteresting.

480
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,552
Get me the tarnhelm back,
and the potion's yours.

481
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:45,553
The potion first, thief.
Once l have proof that it works, then...

482
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,553
you'll get your Tarnhelm.
- You'll have it the day after tomorrow.

483
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,992
Don't ever call me that!

484
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,793
lf killing you would change that,
l would have done it long ago.

485
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,272
As the moon wanes
the heart wanders,

486
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:35,352
sweet memory dwindles,
the heart grows cold:

487
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,072
drinking the draft
makes new love sweeter,

488
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,712
past love a memory,
withered and old,

489
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,792
'gainst potion's power
nothing prevails...

490
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,478
grey iron nor silver,

491
01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:18,471
jewel nor gold.

492
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:40,757
Father?

493
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:44,837
Father!

494
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:53,517
Father!

495
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,912
What's the matter? Are you sick?

496
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,078
lf old age is a sickness, yes.

497
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,909
You just were working for a long time.
You don't have to work any more.

498
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:14,835
There's all the gold we could ever need.
- Don't tempt me with gold, son.

499
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,390
lron is my metal.
- You're just tired, father. That's all.

500
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,390
l'll get you something to eat and drink.
- ''Father'',

501
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,878
can you still call me that?

502
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,838
Your true father was a king.

503
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,838
You knew.
- l suspected it.

504
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,436
l saw the mark of the royal house
on your tunic.

505
01:21:38,480 --> 01:21:42,473
And later l learned that the Twin Kings
were looking for the lost son,

506
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:45,438
but never found him...

507
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,272
Because you gave me another name
to protect me.

508
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,750
lt would be a lie
to say that that was the only reason.

509
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,152
You see, l never had a wife,
but with you...

510
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,674
l got a son.

511
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,950
And it was such a joy to be a father...
your father!

512
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,670
And l've always been proud of you.
l wanted you to know that.

513
01:22:11,480 --> 01:22:13,789
And whatever l am,

514
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,872
it's because of
what you thaught me.

515
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:21,393
Listen... The world around us
is in the throes of a great change

516
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:26,750
and the new powers struggle
with the old for domination.

517
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,112
And l've done my part in that struggle.

518
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,390
So when my time comes,
my body can be sent to the Gods...

519
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,120
in the old way,

520
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,192
the way of fire and water.
But you...

521
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,596
and your Queen are children
of the old world, too.

522
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,672
The Gods gave you wonderous powers.

523
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:53,673
And you must fulfill your destiny
together, wherever it leads you.

524
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,996
l will bring my love
with me to Xanten as my wife.

525
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,394
l promise you.

526
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,632
But you're going to come with me!

527
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,952
l have no more travelling left in me.

528
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,152
l've hardly even breath anymore.

529
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,990
There's still so much for you to do,
so many swords to make.

530
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,478
My best blade is forged.

531
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,912
There's no need to bother
with lesser ones.

532
01:23:28,480 --> 01:23:32,393
My throat is dry, son. That drink
you said you were going to get me...

533
01:23:32,480 --> 01:23:35,358
l could use that now.

534
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,512
Of course, father.
l'll be right back.

535
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,397
Father?

536
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,397
Father!

537
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:27,750
Animals die,

538
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:29,637
people die,

539
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,598
everyone on earth must die.

540
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,238
But a real hero never dies,

541
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,878
he will be remembered forever.

542
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,837
My love,

543
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,632
so near to my heart and my mind.

544
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,912
And yet so far
from my arms and my body.

545
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,194
How much longer?

546
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,874
How much farther?

547
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,272
Yes?

548
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,914
My lady Kriemhild,

549
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,118
may l please speak to you?

550
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,590
l wish to be alone, Lord Hagen.
- lt's about Siegfried.

551
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,996
What about him?
- l'll expect him back any day.

552
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:34,239
Of course he will come back...

553
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,392
for the treasure.
- And not because of you?

554
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,113
What are you implying?
- l noticed your feelings for him.

555
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,392
You speak of matters
you know nothing about.

556
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:54,273
l know, my Lady Kriemhild,
that you have loved the dragonslayer...

557
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:58,797
since the first moment you saw him
and l have come here to help you.

558
01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:03,310
Once the treasure is gone,
there is nothing to keep him here.

559
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,070
What is that? - Certain herbs
with interesting properties.

560
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,510
Which if correctly brewed,
will make a heart grow warm.

561
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,832
That is wrong!
That is no Christian thing.

562
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,352
lt is the old magic
of spells and curses.

563
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:28,313
All he must do, is to drink this,
mixed with wine and as long as...

564
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,313
it is you who gives him the cup,
any love for any other woman...

565
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,790
would be forgotten, and
only you will burn in his heart...

566
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,994
from that moment on.

567
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,437
But why...

568
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:46,637
ln battle and in council, l have always
served the house of Burgund,

569
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,192
and the best interests of the kingdom.

570
