he could always go back home.
92
00:07:27,125 --> 00:07:29,107

burned all our bridges

and can never return home again.

00:07:31,022 --> 00:07:32,725

- No.

No, he has a reason to stay.

Far from wanting to leave this island,
100
00:07:43,257 --> 00:07:46,366
he wants to stay because
he wants to be king of it.
101
00:07:47,015 --> 00:07:49,455
He could never be king in Kattegat.
102

But here, an uninhabited land,
a new world...
103
00:07:53,764 --> 00:07:55,780
Harsh or not, he could be king of it all.
104

your authority.
105

to provoke a reaction.
