42. He never shook your faithCopy !req
43. Hrothgar! Hrothgar!Copy !req

67. You fight me, damn you.Copy !req
68. Nay.Copy !req
69. What was that?Copy !req
70. Grendel.Copy !req
71. Grendel, what have you done?Copy !req
72. What hafast flu done, Grendel?Copy !req
73. Fish and wolf and bearCopy !req
74. and sheep or two,Copy !req
75. ac nan men.Copy !req
76. Men, Grendel.Copy !req
77. They have slain so many of our kind.Copy !req
78. Was Hrothgar there?Copy !req
79. Good.Copy !req
80. Good boy.Copy !req
81. And tender.Copy !req

85. And seal the hall!
Close the doors and the windows.Copy !req
86. And by the King´s order,Copy !req
87. there should be no singing
or merrymaking of any kind.Copy !req
88. This place reeks of death.Copy !req
89. The scops are singing
the shame of HerotCopy !req
90. as far south as the middle kingdom
and as far north as the ice-lands.Copy !req
91. l´ve let it be known that
I will give half the gold in my kingdomCopy !req
92. to any man who can rid us of Grendel.Copy !req
93. My King, for deliveranceCopy !req
94. our people sacrifice goats and sheep
to Odin and Heimdall.Copy !req
95. With your permission,Copy !req
96. shall we also pray
to the new Roman god, Christ Jesus?Copy !req
97. Perhaps he can lift our affliction.Copy !req
98. No, Unferth, no.Copy !req
99. No, the gods will do nothing for us
that we will not do for ourselves.Copy !req
100. What we need is a hero.Copy !req
101. Hold your oars up!Copy !req
102. And heave!Copy !req
103. Can you see the coast?
Can you see the Danes´ guide-fire?Copy !req
104. I see nothing but the wind and the rain!Copy !req
105. No fire, no stars by which to navigate.Copy !req
106. We´re lost! Given to the sea!Copy !req
107. The sea´s my mother!Copy !req
108. She´ll never take me back
to her murky womb.Copy !req
109. My mother was a fishwife in Uppland.Copy !req
110. I was rather hoping to die in battle
as a warrior should!Copy !req
111. Heave!Copy !req
112. The men are worried
the storm has no end, Beowulf.Copy !req
113. It´s no earthly storm,
that much is for sure.Copy !req
114. But this demon´s tempest
will not hold us outCopy !req
115. if we really want in!Copy !req
116. Who wants to live?Copy !req
117. We do!Copy !req
118. Then pull your oars! Let´s see you do it!Copy !req
119. For Beowulf!Copy !req
120. For gold!Copy !req
121. For glory!Copy !req
122. Heave! Heave!Copy !req
123. Beowulf.Copy !req
124. Hold fast!Copy !req
125. No.Copy !req
126. Who are you?
From your dress, you are warriors.Copy !req
127. Speak! Why should l
not run you through right now?Copy !req
128. We are Geats.Copy !req
129. I am Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow.Copy !req
130. We come seeking your Prince Hrothgar
in friendship.Copy !req
131. They say you have a monster here?Copy !req
132. They say your lands are cursed.Copy !req
133. Is that what they say?Copy !req
134. Bards sing of Hrothgar´s shameCopy !req
135. from the frozen North
to the shores of Vinland.Copy !req
136. There´s no shame
to be accursed by demons!Copy !req
137. I am Beowulf!
And I am here to kill your monster.Copy !req
138. I thought there were no more heroes
foolish enoughCopy !req
139. to come around here
and die for our gold.Copy !req
140. if we die, it´ll be for glory, not for gold.Copy !req
141. My Lord?Copy !req
142. My Lord?
There are warriors outside. Geats.Copy !req
143. But they are no beggars,Copy !req
144. and their leader Beowulf
is an imposing...Copy !req
145. Beowulf? Ecgtheow´s little boy?Copy !req
146. Beowulf. Where is he? Where?Copy !req
147. There you are.
Beowulf, welcome, my boy.Copy !req
148. Welcome. Yes. How´s your father?Copy !req
149. Dead.Copy !req
150. Died in battle with sea-raiders
two winters back.Copy !req
151. Well, he was a brave man.Copy !req
152. May I ask why you have come to us
from across the sea?Copy !req
153. l´ve come to kill your monster.Copy !req
154. And to taste that famous mead of yours.Copy !req
155. There have been many brave men
who have come to taste my Lord´s meadCopy !req
156. and many who have sworn
to rid his hall of our nightmare.Copy !req
157. But in the morning,
there was nothing left of any of themCopy !req
158. but blood to be cleaned from the floorCopy !req
159. and the benches, and the walls.Copy !req
160. I have drunk nothing, yet.Copy !req
161. But I will kill your monster.Copy !req
162. He will kill the monster.
Did you hear that? Grendel will die.Copy !req
163. - Grendel?
- Yeah, the monster is called Grendel.Copy !req
164. Then I will kill your Grendel.Copy !req
165. l, Beowulf,
killed a tribe of giants on the Orkneys,Copy !req
166. crushed the skulls of sea-serpents,Copy !req
167. and this troll of yours
will trouble you no more.Copy !req
168. A hero! A hero!
I knew the sea would bring us a hero!Copy !req
169. So will you go up to the moors,
to the dark pool by the caveCopy !req
170. and kill the monster in its den?Copy !req
171. I have 14 brave thanes with me.
We have been long at sea.Copy !req
172. It is high time, mighty Hrothgar,
to break open your golden meadCopy !req
173. famed across the worldCopy !req
174. and to feast
in your legendary mead hall.Copy !req
175. The mead hall has been sealed
by his Lord´s order.Copy !req
176. Merrymaking in the hall
brings the devil, Grendel.Copy !req
177. Well, then.Copy !req
178. Open the mead hall! Let´s drink!Copy !req
179. We don´t want any trouble
with the locals.Copy !req
180. Hondshew, make me feel
you´re pretending to listen to me.Copy !req
181. It´s only been five days
since you waved your wife goodbye.Copy !req
182. Five days? In the name of Odin,
no wonder my loins are burning!Copy !req
183. Beowulf, there you are.Copy !req
184. I was thinking about your father.
Great man.Copy !req
185. He was fleeing the WulfingsCopy !req
186. and he´d killed one of them
with his bare hands.Copy !req
187. - Heatholaf.
- That´s it, yeah. That´s right.Copy !req
188. I paid the blood debt for your father,
and he swore his oath to me.Copy !req
189. So I saved his skin,
and you´re here to save ours, that right?Copy !req
190. All hail the great Beowulf,Copy !req
191. come to save
our pathetic Danish skins, eh?Copy !req
192. And we are so damned grateful,
mighty Beowulf.Copy !req
193. But can I ask a question,
as a huge admirer of yours?Copy !req
194. There was another Beowulf
I heard tell ofCopy !req
195. who challenged Brecca the Mighty to
a swimming race out on the open sea.Copy !req
196. Was that you?Copy !req
197. I swam against Brecca.Copy !req
198. Because I thought
it had to be a different Beowulf,Copy !req
199. someone else of the same name.Copy !req
200. Because, you see,
the Beowulf I heard ofCopy !req
201. swam against Brecca and lost.Copy !req
202. He risked his life and Brecca´sCopy !req
203. to serve his own vanity and pride.Copy !req
204. A boastful fool.Copy !req
205. And he lost!Copy !req
206. So I thought it had to be someone else.Copy !req
207. I swam against Brecca.Copy !req
208. But victory was his, not yours.Copy !req
209. A mighty warrior who cannot even
win a swimming match!Copy !req
210. Speaking only for myself here,Copy !req
211. not only do I doubt that you will be
able to stand for a momentCopy !req
212. against Grendel,Copy !req
213. I doubt that you will even have the belly
to stay in the hall all night.Copy !req
214. I find it difficult to argue with a drunk.Copy !req
215. But it´s true, I did not win the race.Copy !req
216. We swam for five days, neck and neck.Copy !req
217. I was conserving my strength
for the final stretchCopy !req
218. when this storm blew upCopy !req
219. and with it came sea monsters.Copy !req
220. Again and again, the monsters attacked!Copy !req
221. Dark things from the sea´s depths.Copy !req
222. I hacked and I lashed
at these foul beasts with my sword,Copy !req
223. spilling their guts into the sea.Copy !req
224. Beowulf!Copy !req
225. Then one of them seized me by its jawsCopy !req
226. and dragged me to the bottom.Copy !req
227. I killed the monster with my own bladeCopy !req
228. and I plunged it into its heart.Copy !req
229. Yes, of course. The sea monsters.Copy !req
230. And you killed, what was it? 20?Copy !req
231. Nine.Copy !req
232. Last time it were three.Copy !req
233. But would you do me the honor
of telling me your name?Copy !req
234. I am Unferth, son of Ecglaf.Copy !req
235. Unferth, son of Ecglaf.Copy !req
236. I know who you are.Copy !req
237. They say you killed both your brothersCopy !req
238. when you witnessed them
having knowledge of your mother.Copy !req
239. I have another true thing to tell you,
Unferth Kinslayer.Copy !req
240. if your strength and heart
was as strong and fierce as your words,Copy !req
241. Grendel would not feel free to murder
and gorge on your peopleCopy !req
242. without fear of retaliation.Copy !req
243. Tonight will be different!Copy !req
244. Tonight, he will find Geats waiting
for him, not frightened sheepCopy !req
245. like you.Copy !req
246. Well done!Copy !req
247. That´s the spirit, Beowulf.
That´s the spirit we need.Copy !req
248. So you will kill my Grendel for me,
will you?Copy !req
249. Well, let´s all drink in celebration
of the kill that is to come.Copy !req
250. Lips ripe as the berries in JuneCopy !req
251. Red the rose, red the roseCopy !req
252. Skin pale as the light of the moonCopy !req
253. Gently as she goesCopy !req
254. Eyes blue as the sea and the skyCopy !req
255. Beowulf. Come.Copy !req
256. water flows, water flowsCopy !req
257. Come with me.
I want to show you something.Copy !req
258. Heart burning like fire in the nightCopy !req
259. Gently as she goesCopy !req
260. Come.Copy !req
261. There.Copy !req
262. The Royal Dragon Horn.Copy !req
263. It is beautiful.Copy !req
264. lsn´t it magnificent?Copy !req
265. She´s the prize of my treasure.Copy !req
266. I claimed her after my battle with Fafnir,
the dragon of the Northern moors.Copy !req
267. Nearly cost me my life.Copy !req
268. And there´s a soft spot
under the throat, there.Copy !req
269. See? You have to go in
with a knife or a dagger.Copy !req
270. It´s the only way you can kill a dragon.Copy !req
271. I wonder how many men
have died for love of her beauty.Copy !req
272. Can you blame them?Copy !req
273. if you destroy my Grendel for me,Copy !req
274. she´ll be yours forever
and ever and ever.Copy !req
275. You do me great honor.Copy !req
276. It is we who are honored.Copy !req
277. Is that your demon?Copy !req
278. That was a wolf.
You don´t hear Grendel when he comes.Copy !req
279. No? Well, you´ll hear me, I promise.Copy !req
280. Come on, my mighty lust limb
can transport you to paradise,Copy !req
281. to ecstasy and back.Copy !req
282. No other man
will ever be able to satisfy you again.Copy !req
283. - Sorry.
- Come on!Copy !req
284. - I said no and I meant no.
- Why not?Copy !req
285. Because it´s late and it´s dark and the
monster could arrive at any moment!Copy !req
286. Well, then, how about a quick gobble?Copy !req
287. The hour is upon us.Copy !req
288. This old man needs his sleep.Copy !req
289. Where´s my beautiful bedmate?
Come, my love.Copy !req
290. In a moment.Copy !req
291. Come, Wealthow,
let us pound the pillows.Copy !req
292. Don´t touch me!Copy !req
293. That´s the spirit, my girl.Copy !req
294. My Lord!Copy !req
295. Perhaps Her Majesty
could grace our earsCopy !req
296. with one more melody
before we all retire?Copy !req
297. It´s the least I can do.Copy !req
298. Beowulf, l´ll hope to see you
in the morning, Odin willing.Copy !req
299. And make sure
your thanes secure the doors.Copy !req
300. Good night. Good night.Copy !req
301. Good night, Beowulf.
Watch out for sea monsters.Copy !req
302. l´m sure your imagination
must be teeming with them.Copy !req
303. Just waitCopy !req
304. Though wide he may roamCopy !req
305. Always a hero comes homeCopy !req
306. He goes where no one has goneCopy !req
307. But always a hero comes homeCopy !req
308. He goes where no one has goneCopy !req
309. But always a hero comes homeCopy !req
310. That was beautiful.Copy !req
311. You need to go now, Your Majesty.Copy !req
312. Of course. Grendel.Copy !req
313. The demon is my husband´s shame.Copy !req
314. It´s not a shame, it´s a curse.Copy !req
315. No, shame.Copy !req
316. My husband has no other. No sons.Copy !req
317. And he will have no more,
for all his talk.Copy !req
318. Oy, Hondshew. How was she?Copy !req
319. Nah. Not my type.Copy !req
320. I know your type.Copy !req
321. Lord Beowulf, what are you doing?Copy !req
322. The creature has no sword, no armor.Copy !req
323. And I have no weapon
capable of slaying a monster.Copy !req
324. We shall fight as equals.Copy !req
325. And fateCopy !req
326. shall decide.Copy !req
327. Good. Tie it off with more chain.Copy !req
328. Enough frican´ about!Copy !req
329. You´re mad, you know that?Copy !req
330. Yes.Copy !req
331. Something vexes you, my Wiglaf?Copy !req
332. I don´t like the smell of this one,
my Lord.Copy !req
333. The men are unprepared.Copy !req
334. They´re distracted.Copy !req
335. Too many untended women here!Copy !req
336. Abstinence prior to battle is essential!Copy !req
337. A warrior´s mind must be unblurred,
my Lord.Copy !req
338. Good night, Wiglaf.Copy !req
339. And while you´re sleeping,
what´re we meant to do?Copy !req
340. Sing! Loudly!Copy !req
341. Well, you heard him.
He wants us to sing. So sing!Copy !req
342. Olaf, sing!Copy !req
343. There was a dozen virginsCopy !req
344. Friesians, Danes and FranksCopy !req
345. we took them for some swifan
And all we got were wanksCopy !req
346. Oh, we are Beowulf´s army
Each a mighty thaneCopy !req
347. We´ll pummel your asses
And ravage your lassesCopy !req
348. Then do it all over againCopy !req
349. The fattest of the virgins
I knew her for a whoreCopy !req
350. I gave her all my codpiece
And still she wanted moreCopy !req
351. Her sister was from Norway
She cost me 20 groatsCopy !req
352. She showed me there was more ways
Than one to sow my oatsCopy !req
353. Her mother was from lceland
And she was mighty hotCopy !req
354. She´d need a whole damn iceberg
To cool her burning...Copy !req
355. Grendel. He knocks.Copy !req
356. That must be my sweet plum, Yrsa.Copy !req
357. She´s ready for me
to taste herjuicy fruit.Copy !req
358. My Lord.Copy !req
359. Patience, patience, my love.Copy !req
360. No! Hondshew! No!Copy !req
361. Swife me! It´s the frican´ monster!Copy !req
362. I swear, the bastard has no pintel!Copy !req
363. - No pintel.
- Aye.Copy !req
364. - The demon shrinks!
- It shrinks! It shrinks!Copy !req
365. Demon!Copy !req
366. Your bloodletting
days are finished, demon!Copy !req
367. It speaks. It speaks!Copy !req
368. I am ripper, tearer, slasher, gouger.Copy !req
369. I am the teeth in the darkness,
the talons in the night.Copy !req
370. Mine is strength and lust and power!Copy !req
371. I am Beowulf!Copy !req
372. Grendel´s arm!Copy !req
373. You´ve done it!Copy !req
374. He´s done it!Copy !req
375. He´s torn the limbs from the beast!
Beowulf has killed him!Copy !req
376. - Hail, Beowulf!
- Hail, Beowulf!Copy !req
377. My Lord, Beowulf has killed the demon!Copy !req
378. Odin be praised.Copy !req
379. - Go tell the scops. Spread the word!
- Yes, my Lord.Copy !req
380. Tomorrow will be
a glorious day of rejoicing.Copy !req
381. Our nightmare is over.Copy !req
382. Come to bed, my sweet.Copy !req
383. My kingdom needs an heir!
I need a son! It´s time you did your duty.Copy !req
384. How can I ever lay with you,
knowing you laid with her?Copy !req
385. I should never have told you.Copy !req
386. My poor son.Copy !req
387. Sleep now, my son.Copy !req
388. Who murdered you, my son?Copy !req
389. He will pay, meen darling.Copy !req
390. Beowulf.Copy !req
391. They were great warriors.Copy !req
392. They died a foul death.Copy !req
393. They were murdered by a foul creature
from the depths of hell.Copy !req
394. The bards
will sing of their glory forever.Copy !req
395. Come, let us drink to their memory.Copy !req
396. I want you to raise the first cup.Copy !req
397. I am not in the mood for merrymaking.Copy !req
398. l´ll ride down to the mooring,
prepare the boat.Copy !req
399. We still leave tomorrow, on the tide,
do we not?Copy !req
400. Aye.Copy !req
401. My thanes, my friends, brothers,Copy !req
402. this place for me
has been a hall of sadness.Copy !req
403. And for all of us,Copy !req
404. it has been a place of misery,
bloodshed, and death.Copy !req
405. But today,
the monster´s reign has ended.Copy !req
406. They say he ripped the monster´s
limb off with his bare hands.Copy !req
407. I wonder if Beowulf´s strength is only
in his arms, or in his legs as well,Copy !req
408. all three of them?Copy !req
409. Well, after the feast tonight,
l´m sure you can find out, Gitte.Copy !req
410. Me? It´s not me he wants, my Queen.Copy !req
411. Bring it here!Copy !req
412. Wealthow, my love,Copy !req
413. why don´t you do the honors?Copy !req
414. For you, my Lord.Copy !req
415. Thank you, great King.Copy !req
416. And all of you,Copy !req
417. I wish you´d have been there last night
to see me kill the monster.Copy !req
418. I was asleep when he arrived.Copy !req
419. He ripped open the doors
with his bare hands.Copy !req
420. He stood 20 feet tall,
possessing the strength of 10 men.Copy !req
421. I looked at him and said,
´´l am Beowulf!´´Copy !req
422. Brave thane.Copy !req
423. My Queen.Copy !req
424. I love you.Copy !req
425. I want you, my King.Copy !req
426. Only you.Copy !req
427. My hero, meen looviyend.Copy !req
428. I don´t understand.Copy !req
429. Where´s your husband?Copy !req
430. Dead.Copy !req
431. Dead?Copy !req
432. This is a dream.Copy !req
433. This is not happening.
You´re just a dream.Copy !req
434. Me, darling? A dream?Copy !req
435. Give me a child.
Enter me and give me a son!Copy !req
436. In the name of Odin!Copy !req
437. ls Grendel not dead?Copy !req
438. Has he grown his arm anew?Copy !req
439. It´s not Grendel.Copy !req
440. Not Grendel? Then who?Copy !req
441. His mother.Copy !req
442. It´s Grendel you killed.Copy !req
443. I had hoped his mother
had left the land long, long ago.Copy !req
444. How many monsters must I slay?Copy !req
445. Grendel´s mother? Father?
Grendel´s uncle?Copy !req
446. Must I hack down
a whole family tree of demons?Copy !req
447. She is the last of them.Copy !req
448. With her gone,Copy !req
449. demonkind will slip back
into the darkness from whence it came.Copy !req
450. Where it belongs.Copy !req
451. And the mother´s mate?
Where is Grendel´s father?Copy !req
452. Grendel´s father
can do no harm to man.Copy !req
453. Beowulf,Copy !req
454. I was wrong to doubt you before,
and I shall not again.Copy !req
455. Yours is the blood of courage.
I beg your forgiveness.Copy !req
456. Granted.Copy !req
457. Cain! Cain!Copy !req
458. Take my sword.
It belonged to my father´s father.Copy !req
459. It´s called ´´Hrunting.´´Copy !req
460. That sword is no match
for demon magic.Copy !req
461. l´m sorry I ever doubted you.Copy !req
462. No, l´m sorry I mentioned
you murdered your brothers.Copy !req
463. They were hasty words.Copy !req
464. Unferth, I may not return.Copy !req
465. Your ancestral sword
might be lost with me.Copy !req
466. As long as it is with you,
it will never be lost.Copy !req
467. And you, mighty Wiglaf,Copy !req
468. are you still with me?Copy !req
469. To the end.Copy !req
470. Look.Copy !req
471. She´s probably a water demon.Copy !req
472. You don´t want to meet her
in her element.Copy !req
473. I know.Copy !req
474. Do you want me to go in with you?Copy !req
475. Good.Copy !req
476. l´ll be here.Copy !req
477. I see you´ve brought me treasure.Copy !req
478. Show yourself!Copy !req
479. What are you?Copy !req
480. Are you the one they call Beowulf?Copy !req
481. The Bee-Wolf.Copy !req
482. The bear.Copy !req
483. Such a strong man you are.Copy !req
484. With the strength of a king.Copy !req
485. The king you will one day become.Copy !req
486. What do you know of me, demon?Copy !req
487. I know that underneath your glamourCopy !req
488. you´re as much a monster
as my son, Grendel.Copy !req
489. My glamour?Copy !req
490. One needs glamour to become a king.Copy !req
491. A man like you could own
the greatest tale ever sung.Copy !req
492. Your story would live onCopy !req
493. when everything now alive is dust.Copy !req
494. Beowulf.Copy !req
495. It has been a long timeCopy !req
496. since a man has come to visit me.Copy !req
497. I need no sword to kill you.Copy !req
498. Of course you don´t, my love.Copy !req
499. You took a son from me.Copy !req
500. Give me a son, brave thane.Copy !req
501. Stay with me.Copy !req
502. Love me.Copy !req
503. Love meCopy !req
504. and I shall weave you riches
beyond imagination.Copy !req
505. I shall make youCopy !req
506. the greatest king that ever lived.Copy !req
507. As long as you hold me in your heartCopy !req
508. and this golden horn
remains in my keeping,Copy !req
509. you will forever be king.Copy !req
510. Forever strong,Copy !req
511. mightyCopy !req
512. and all powerful.Copy !req
513. This I promise.Copy !req
514. This I swear.Copy !req
515. My Lord.Copy !req
516. It´s dead, my Lady.Copy !req
517. When I finished off
Grendel´s monstrous mother,Copy !req
518. I severed the brute´s head.Copy !req
519. Our curse is lifted.Copy !req
520. Our curse is lifted. Odin be praised!Copy !req
521. Beowulf be praised!Copy !req
522. Our curse is lifted.Copy !req
523. Take this out of my sight. Unferth!Copy !req
524. lnto the sea, quickly.Copy !req
525. I plunged Hrunting
into Grendel´s mother´s chestCopy !req
526. and when I pulled the sword
free from her corpse,Copy !req
527. the creature sprang back to life,Copy !req
528. so I plunged the sword back into
the hag´s chest and there it will stay.Copy !req
529. Till Ragnarok, huh?Copy !req
530. And our people shall be grateful
till the Ragnarok.Copy !req
531. More mead, my Lord?Copy !req
532. Aye.Copy !req
533. And the drinking horn, do you have it?Copy !req
534. No.Copy !req
535. I knew the greedy witch desired it,
so I threw it into the swamp.Copy !req
536. And when she followed,
that´s where I struck,Copy !req
537. with the mighty sword Hrunting.Copy !req
538. When she was dead, I looked for it,
but it was gone forever.Copy !req
539. Then find our hero another cup,
my love.Copy !req
540. First, the hero and I must talk.Copy !req
541. Beowulf.Copy !req
542. So you brought back
the head of Grendel.Copy !req
543. What about the head of the mother?Copy !req
544. With her dead and cold in the bog,Copy !req
545. is it not enough
to return one monster´s head?Copy !req
546. Did you kill her?Copy !req
547. Would you like to hear the story of my
struggle against this monstrous hag?Copy !req
548. She´s no hag, Beowulf.
We both know that.Copy !req
549. But answer me, did you kill her?Copy !req
550. Would I have been able to escape her,
had I not?Copy !req
551. Grendel is dead.
That´s all that matters to me.Copy !req
552. He can bother me no more.Copy !req
553. The mother, ´´the hag,´´
she´s not my curse.Copy !req
554. Not anymore.Copy !req
555. Listen to me!Copy !req
556. Because my Lord Beowulf
is a mighty heroCopy !req
557. and because
he killed the demon GrendelCopy !req
558. and laid its mother in her grave...Copy !req
559. - To Beowulf!
- Long live Beowulf!Copy !req
560. and because I have no heir,Copy !req
561. I have no sons,Copy !req
562. I declare that on my death,Copy !req
563. all that I possess, my kingdom,Copy !req
564. my hall of sadness and shame,Copy !req
565. and even my lovely young Queen,Copy !req
566. my Wealthow,Copy !req
567. everything, everythingCopy !req
568. I leave to this, our hero.Copy !req
569. - But, my Lord...
- I have spoken!Copy !req
570. I have spoken!Copy !req
571. When I am gone,Copy !req
572. Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow,
shall be king!Copy !req
573. Beowulf!Copy !req
574. My Lord.Copy !req
575. Everything in its time, Beowulf.Copy !req
576. Hrothgar!Copy !req
577. He must have fallen.Copy !req
578. - All hail King Beowulf.
- All hail King Beowulf.Copy !req
579. All hail King Beowulf.Copy !req
580. King Beowulf.Copy !req
581. Archers.Copy !req
582. Archers!Copy !req
583. This is not battle, Wiglaf.Copy !req
584. This is slaughter.Copy !req
585. The Frisians want to make
themselves heroes, my Lord.Copy !req
586. They want the bards
to sing of their deeds.Copy !req
587. It´s going to be a short song.Copy !req
588. Now, can you blame them?Copy !req
589. Your legend is known
from the high seasCopy !req
590. and the snow barriers
to the great island kingdom.Copy !req
591. You are the monster slayer.Copy !req
592. We men are the monsters now.Copy !req
593. The time of heroes is dead, Wiglaf.Copy !req
594. The Christ God has killed it,Copy !req
595. leaving humankind with nothing
but weeping martyrs,Copy !req
596. fear and shame.Copy !req
597. Show me to Beowulf!
Show me to King Beowulf!Copy !req
598. Come on, Frisian. Speak up!Copy !req
599. Leave him!Copy !req
600. You think it sport
to mock your opponents in this fashion?Copy !req
601. Let him die quickly,
with some honor still intact.Copy !req
602. Coward!Copy !req
603. Kill me yourself!Copy !req
604. Balls! The king
must never engage in direct battle.Copy !req
605. Kill the invader now! Do it quickly!
Put his head on a spear.Copy !req
606. Stop!Copy !req
607. My Lord, the king
must not engage in direct battle.Copy !req
608. Let him up.Copy !req
609. You want your name
in the Song of Beowulf?Copy !req
610. You think it should end with me killed
by some Frisian raider with no name?Copy !req
611. l´m Finn of FrisiaCopy !req
612. and my name
shall be remembered forever.Copy !req
613. Only if you kill me!Copy !req
614. Otherwise, you´re nothing.Copy !req
615. You think you´re the first to try to kill me,
or the hundredth?Copy !req
616. Well, let me tell you something, Frisian.Copy !req
617. The gods will not allow my death
by your feeble blade.Copy !req
618. The gods will not allow me to die
by a sword, or be taken by the sea.Copy !req
619. The gods will not let me
pass in my sleep, ripe with age!Copy !req
620. Plant your ax here, Finn of Frisia.
Take my life.Copy !req
621. Someone give him a sword, or l´ll...Copy !req
622. You´ll what? Kill me?Copy !req
623. Well, kill me! Do it! Kill me! Kill me!Copy !req
624. You know why you can´t kill me,
my friend?Copy !req
625. ´Cause I died many, many years ago
when I was young.Copy !req
626. Give him a gold piece
and send him home.Copy !req
627. He has a story to tell.Copy !req
628. Your Majesty?Copy !req
629. Are you hurt?Copy !req
630. Not a scratch.Copy !req
631. So beautiful.Copy !req
632. And so young.Copy !req
633. You know, Ursula, when I was young,Copy !req
634. I used to think being a king
was about battling every morningCopy !req
635. and counting the gold
and loot in the afternoonCopy !req
636. and swiving beautiful women
every evening.Copy !req
637. But now, well, nothing is as good
as it should have been.Copy !req
638. Not even the ´´swiving a beautiful woman
every night´´ part, Your Majesty?Copy !req
639. Well, some nights, Ursula, some nights.Copy !req
640. Perhaps tonight?Copy !req
641. No, tonight, I feel my age upon me.Copy !req
642. Tomorrow, after the celebrations.Copy !req
643. We can´t forget what tomorrow is,
can we now?Copy !req
644. Your day.
When the Song of Beowulf is toldCopy !req
645. of how you lifted the darkness
from the land.Copy !req
646. And the day after,
we celebrate the birth of Hallend Christ.Copy !req
647. I see you´ve survived.Copy !req
648. Alas, my Queen,Copy !req
649. the Frisian invaders
have been pushed into the sea.Copy !req
650. You are not a widow,Copy !req
651. yet.Copy !req
652. How comforting, my husband.Copy !req
653. Hail, Beowulf! Hail, Beowulf!Copy !req
654. Unferth.Copy !req
655. You´re not celebrating
your King´s glory tonight?Copy !req
656. I have something for the King.Copy !req
657. What is it?Copy !req
658. I said I have something for the King.Copy !req
659. - Show it to me.
- I will not.Copy !req
660. You will show it to me first.Copy !req
661. Bollocks, Wiglaf.Copy !req
662. l´ll show it first to Beowulf.
The King needs to see it.Copy !req
663. The KingCopy !req
664. needs to see what?Copy !req
665. Lost and now found.Copy !req
666. A gift fit for a king.Copy !req
667. Do you recognize it?Copy !req
668. Where did you find this?Copy !req
669. On the moors. My slave Cain found it
on the barren hill where nothing grows.Copy !req
670. I beat him for treading near
such an unholy place.Copy !req
671. My Lord,Copy !req
672. isn´t this...Copy !req
673. So, Lord Beowulf,Copy !req
674. it´s come back to you,
after all these years.Copy !req
675. My Lord, this is the slave who found it.Copy !req
676. Please, please don´t kill me!Copy !req
677. Where did you find this treasure?Copy !req
678. l´m sorry I ran away, Master.
But please don´t hurt me no more.Copy !req
679. - Answer your King!
- Stop!Copy !req
680. Stop.Copy !req
681. Where?Copy !req
682. Up, up on the moors.Copy !req
683. But I was gonna bring it back, Master.
I swear.Copy !req
684. Is that all?Copy !req
685. No demon? No witch?Copy !req
686. No woman?Copy !req
687. Hail, Beowulf! Hail, Beowulf!Copy !req
688. Hail, Beowulf! Hail, Beowulf!
Hail, Beowulf!Copy !req
689. Look at you. You´re nothing,Copy !req
690. an empty nothing.Copy !req
691. Come forth!Copy !req
692. Show yourself!Copy !req
693. Even with all your riches,Copy !req
694. your kingdom, your power, your gloryCopy !req
695. and your women.Copy !req
696. Which one do you think
I should kill first,Copy !req
697. your pretty little bedwarmer,Copy !req
698. or your wise Queen?Copy !req
699. What are you?Copy !req
700. l´m something you left behind,Copy !req
701. Father!Copy !req
702. Another restless night?Copy !req
703. It´s all right, girl.Copy !req
704. l´m not going to eat you.Copy !req
705. He has bad dreams.Copy !req
706. They´ve been coming more often.Copy !req
707. He´s a king, and kings
have a lot on their conscience.Copy !req
708. He calls your name in his sleep.Copy !req
709. Does he?Copy !req
710. I believe he still holds you in his heart.Copy !req
711. Do you?Copy !req
712. I often wonderCopy !req
713. what happened.Copy !req
714. To us?Copy !req
715. Too many secrets.Copy !req
716. God, help us.Copy !req
717. What? What do you want of me?Copy !req
718. I have a message for my father.Copy !req
719. Tell me! What did this?Copy !req
720. I saw our whole village burn.
Children screaming as they died!Copy !req
721. I saw it, Your Majesty,
vomiting fire and smoke!Copy !req
722. Damn you! What was it?Copy !req
723. A dragon!Copy !req
724. - It´s Unferth, my Lord!
- Unferth.Copy !req
725. You say a dragon did this? Stop!Copy !req
726. You had an agreement.Copy !req
727. You would not be harmed.Copy !req
728. But now the golden horn
has returned to you.Copy !req
729. The agreement is ended.Copy !req
730. Who? Who said that?Copy !req
731. ´´The sins of the fathers!´´Copy !req
732. That´s the last thing I heard.Copy !req
733. The last thing before
my family was burned alive!Copy !req
734. The sins of the fathers!Copy !req
735. Sins of the fathers!Copy !req
736. The sins of the fathers!Copy !req
737. Take up your positions along
the northern edge of the great gorge.Copy !req
738. It is our only hope if I fail.Copy !req
739. My Lord.Copy !req
740. Don´t go, I beg you!Copy !req
741. You are free. I release you.Copy !req
742. Find a good man and bear him children.
But bear him a son.Copy !req
743. I don´t want anyone else. I want you.Copy !req
744. I am not the man you think me to be!Copy !req
745. You´re a great man! And a hero!
This I know to be true.Copy !req
746. Then you are as foolish
as the rest of them!Copy !req
747. Very impressive, dear.Copy !req
748. But the armor suited you better
when you were younger.Copy !req
749. l´m sure it did.Copy !req
750. Why don´t you take that poor girlCopy !req
751. and live out your remaining years
in peace?Copy !req
752. Let some young hero save us.Copy !req
753. What?Copy !req
754. And let the nightmare
start all over again?Copy !req
755. No. I visited this horror
upon my kingdom.Copy !req
756. - I must be the one to finish her.
- Her.Copy !req
757. Was she so beautiful, Beowulf?Copy !req
758. A beauty so costly?Copy !req
759. Beautiful, and full of fine promises.Copy !req
760. I was weak.Copy !req
761. I am sorry.Copy !req
762. So, so sorry.Copy !req
763. I have always loved you, my Queen.Copy !req
764. And I you.Copy !req
765. Keep a memory of me,Copy !req
766. not as a king or a hero,Copy !req
767. but as a man,Copy !req
768. fallible and flawed.Copy !req
769. This is the place.Copy !req
770. Where you slayed Grendel´s mother.Copy !req
771. Wiglaf, I have no sons,Copy !req
772. and if this demon kills me,
I have arranged with the heraldsCopy !req
773. that you shall be king.Copy !req
774. Don´t speak of such things, my Lord.Copy !req
775. Great friend,
there is something you should know.Copy !req
776. Nay! There is nothing I should know.Copy !req
777. You are Beowulf.
Beowulf the mighty, the hero!Copy !req
778. The slayer and destroyer of demons!Copy !req
779. Now, let us kill this flying devil
where it sleepsCopy !req
780. and get on with our bloody lives!Copy !req
781. - Do you want me to go in with you?
- No.Copy !req
782. Good.Copy !req
783. Beowulf.Copy !req
784. It has been a long time.Copy !req
785. Take your damned horn
and leave my land in peace.Copy !req
786. Too late, my love.Copy !req
787. Odin´s swifan balls!Copy !req
788. It´s heading for Herot!Copy !req
789. Now!Copy !req
790. Hrothgar.Copy !req
791. Come on, come on!
Come on! Come on!Copy !req
792. Damn you!Copy !req
793. l´ll have your lizard head on a spike!Copy !req
794. No!Copy !req
795. My Lord!Copy !req
796. No!Copy !req
797. Over here! Attend the Queen.Copy !req
798. - Attend the Queen.
- Attend the Queen.Copy !req
799. I told you we were too old to be heroes.Copy !req
800. Let´s get you to a healer.Copy !req
801. Not this time, old friend.Copy !req
802. You are Beowulf.Copy !req
803. A little thing like this
isn´t going to finish you off.Copy !req
804. Do you hear her?Copy !req
805. I hear nothing.Copy !req
806. Grendel´s mother,
my son´s mother, my...Copy !req
807. - No, my Lord.
- My...Copy !req
808. You killed Grendel´s mother
when we were young.Copy !req
809. They sing of it.Copy !req
810. Too late for lies, Wiglaf.Copy !req
811. Too late.Copy !req
812. He wasCopy !req
813. the bravest of us.Copy !req
814. He was the princeCopy !req
815. of all warriors.Copy !req
816. His name will live forever.Copy !req
817. His song shall be sung forever.Copy !req
