COSMOS AND CHAOS: THE ETERNAL BATTLE BETWEEN ORDER AND CHAOS
THAT TAKES PLACE BOTH IN THE UNIVERSE AND IN THE INDIVIDUAL.
IN RAGNAROK, THE COSMOS WILL PERISH. BUT ONLY SO THAT THE WORLD CAN BEGIN ANEW.
One step at a time.
That is how gods, Giants, and men all tread their fated path through life.
But the road is sometimes hard to make out, especially now.
The world balance that had always been maintained
by the battle between gods and Giants, good and evil, walked a tightrope.
The young God of Thunder had forged Mjölnir, the world's mightiest weapon.
But he had promised his brother not to use it.
Thus a strange truce had been concluded between the two old hereditary enemies,
the gods and the Giants.
And the world's mightiest weapon ended up on a dusty shelf.
But the enmity was by no means forgotten.
And in secret, Magne tried, without the hammer,
to continue the fight against the Giants.
With the rules of the modern world, he tried to gather evidence
for a lawsuit against Jutul Industries.
We tried that already!
You found those poisoned barrels, and all the Giants got was a small fine.
But back then it was an environment thing. This time it's about people.
This is a list of people who worked in the factory.
Many of them are sick. Some are dead.
We just need one witness, then we have a case…
Do you know what we sacrificed so you could get that hammer?
They'll kill my brother if I use it.
You're the one who said the war was inevitable.
I'm out of here!
The fellowship of the gods was dissolved, and, angry, they went their separate ways.
And the Giants lived like they always had.
Son followed father,
while the proud mother looked on admiringly.
And she, who had dared to rebel,
had now been bound into servitude because of her treachery.
The truce was quite convenient for the Giants.
They weren't in a hurry
because agreements had been made with one who had a foot in each camp,
and who was raising a creature with one purpose alone,
to kill the young God of Thunder.
And with each passing month, they knew that the monster grew bigger and stronger,
and that time was running out for their enemy.
Every time he found a witness,
it became clear just how much power the Jutuls had in the city.
Magne told me you are a former employee of Jutul Industries,
but that you got sick and never received any compensation?
-No, that's not true. -What?
So sorry, Magne, but I can't help you. I'm too afraid.
One by one, they withdrew.
I think we're done here.
No one dared to go against Jutul Industries.
As Magne's case grew weaker and weaker…
an urge grew within him.
Mjölnir was not just a tool Magne could put down whenever he wanted.
It had a will of its own.
And it was calling its owner from the dark.
Step by step,
both gods and Giants moved closer to the inevitable battle.
And meanwhile, the unwitting humans lived their lives,
not knowing that a threat was growing bigger day by day in the fjord.
A creature that only one could defeat.
But humans had stopped believing in such creatures a long time ago.
Come on, children. We're leaving now. Come on now.
Hi, sweetheart.
What the hell, boss? The power went out.
About time.
Eating, are you?
It's just me,
Mom.
Ran, did you hear that?
-The thunder in the mountains? -No, it was the hammer.
That's impossible.
-We have a deal. -It sounded like the hammer.
You don't have the right to speak.
Listen. Magne has the hammer.
He's used it, and we have a huge problem.
What the hell are you doing?
Do you know what you've done?
You know my family trusts your promise to me.
What will happen to me when they find out you have used the hammer?
Don't say anything. Just let it be.
There was a thundering roar.
The power went out in half of the town. Do you think they're stupid?
I just threw it once.
Once is enough.
You broke the truce.
It will be on my head.
I won't use it again.
Last time.
Hi, Laurits. Hi, honey.
You can cut the tension with a knife. Is this some sort of secret brotherhood?
Okay, so…
Turid has put on the dress. So if you could please come down.
With some positive energy?
Okay?
What do you think, Laurits? Is it okay?
It's all ripped in the back?
I know. I can't do anything about it because of the power outage.
I can't sew.
Perhaps… You could mend it by hand? I'd like to help.
Thank you, son, but I'll need to use the machine.
I can't write a speech to Erik, because the laptop is out of power.
It can't get any worse.
Hey, you look nice.
No, you can't see me! Turn around.
-Sorry. -This brings bad luck!
-It means 13 years of bad luck. -Sorry.
-My laptop is out of battery. -I see.
You'll have to do it the old-fashioned way.
Here.
Is the power back at school? Can I fix the dress there?
Wanna hang out with the others?
My mom is stressing about the blackout. I have to do something.
All right. What are you gonna do?
-I don't know. Something. -Okay.
You are too kind, Magne.
-Okay, talk to you later. -Yeah.
It's going to take some time to fix.
I can do about 60%, but the rest has to be done at Hardafjellet station.
I'm just checking what's going on. The power is out at our house.
Understandable, because this makes no sense.
Did you see that rock?
It's an ancient bedrock. It doesn't just fall off.
Relax, you and the other paupers will get your power back soon.
What do you mean?
The power just went out in the poor areas.
So Jutul didn't get cut off?
No, they will never lack anything.
Do you know them?
And then, there was light again.
Have you worked at Jutul?
Maybe I worked for them once.
Until I got sick.
Marit?
There wasn't a Marit who quit due to illness on the list.
Bye!
Wotan!
I think I found a witness.
She wasn't on the list. Her name is Marit.
She worked at the factory as an electrician.
You can't win like this. There is only one way.
I can't do that, Wotan. Because of Laurits.
I have to try this way.
I just need to know where she lives. Hey, Siri?
Marit, electrician, Edda.
No one by the name of Marit, electrician.
Marit, Edda, electrician.
No one by the name of Marit…
You young people are too dependent on your phones.
Why not try a raven?
It stays on until your punishment is over, Saxa.
As it is written.
I don't deserve this.
I don't deserve to live in the basement. I want my weapons back.
Vidar would have never allowed this.
You betrayed your own family.
You are the reason the hammer was forged.
And now Magne has used it.
Be glad that you're not in that grave with Vidar.
Kneel.
You were Vidar's favorite.
But now I am in charge.
By the way.
It suits you.
I got liver cancer from working in their factory.
I got a death sentence. I lost all my hair.
I had given up. I even scared away my wife.
But then I did something I never thought I'd do.
I went to a numerologist, changed my name and bought crystals.
Half a year later I had recovered.
I promised myself not to get my revenge.
To live as if every day was my last.
To be happy and grateful.
There is an evil
that has haunted this town too long.
It is destroying the world as we know it.
That's why we're here today.
We would like to ask you if you would like to be on our side
in the fight against evil, and tear it down once and for all.
Would you like to act as a witness against Jutul?
Tell everything you know in court.
No.
I don't want anything to do with them.
Thanks for the talk.
-Is that your wife? -Yeah. Elisabeth.
Love of my life.
I also had a girl from here once.
I was in love with her.
Her father worked at the factory.
He got sick.
He died.
I also had a friend named Isolde.
She got murdered.
I am sorry to hear about your wife.
Wait.
It's the best result we've had in five years.
Twenty-two billion.
We have also negotiated a tax agreement with the government that will benefit us.
The environmental tax will be…
on the lower end, so to speak.
That is so great, but today is all about Fjor.
That's right. We have compiled a trainee program
to enable you to take over your father's old positions.
I have written a short description here.
Thank you.
Harvard Business School, combined with Corporate Law at Cambridge,
all the while gradually assuming a bigger role in the company.
This is more or less exactly what Vidar did when he took over.
We can also arrange a similar program for Saxa.
No, thank you. She's not interested.
Okay.
Mom.
How do you spell cancer?
C-A-N-C-E-R. That's a nasty thing to write about.
Hey, Laurits!
Stick around, boys. There's something I need to show you.
-Yeah. -Okay?
What's the big secret?
-Secret? -You have the laptop and paperwork,
and when you see me, you pack it all up.
I know you're up to something. What is it?
-I haven't touched the hammer. -I didn't ask about that.
What are you and Wotan are doing?
What do you mean? Are you following me?
I saw the two of you walk away from Spar looking very determined.
So maybe I should be following you?
I found a witness.
Someone who got sick from working at Jutul.
You went behind my back.
Boys, can you get takeaway? I'm all worn out after sewing.
What do you think?
Wow.
What do you say, Laurits? I ditched the veil!
When you are as sweet as you are, you don't need to look like a meringue.
No… It's just been a waste of time, all that work.
Now I'm crying, and I have just dyed my lashes. They are going to get ruined.
I think I need a moment! Sorry!
Why did you say that? Just say she's pretty.
I don't need to fit in in this small town pretend world
where everyone's praising each other because they're scared of conflict.
That's how you see me?
Will you grab a cheeseburger and some fries for me?
You can't even go with me?
-No. -Why not?
Jens works there. The one who broke my heart?
Okay! That's fine. I'll get it.
-Hi. -Hi, Jens.
-What will it be? -I'd like four cheeseburgers with extra…
THE EDDA GRILL
-I have to take this. -Of course.
Hi, Gorm.
Hi, Magne. I've looked into your witness. With Marit, you seem to have a case.
-Okay? -Can you bring her here tomorrow morning?
Okay, I'll do that.
-Then we'll make a plan for everything. -Okay, bye.
Mom?
I didn't mean it like that.
Mommy.
Hi.
Do you remember kneeling and begging me not to kill you?
We made a deal. You were making sure Magne never used the hammer again.
Yes, but…
So what the fuck happened?
Did Magne use the hammer again?
It's not going to…
Do you remember the second part of our agreement?
The serpent should grow large enough to kill Magne. How's that going?
We're running out of time.
Little O has gotten much bigger. And yesterday he ate a duck.
-A duck? -Yes.
That serpent was once big enough to circle the world.
It could kill even the mightiest of gods.
Magne is using the hammer. What is he up to?
What are you doing?
Fixing lunch.
It's going to be a long day!
Oh, God, I overslept like crazy!
You fixed breakfast for them? You're so sweet!
I've been sewing all night. You're going to be so proud!
We better get going. Wanna come with me to school?
There's something I need to do on the way, so I'm out of here.
Okay, Laurits?
I'm off too. See you!
-Have a nice day! -Have a nice day!
Goodbye!
Hello?
Marit?
She couldn't have fallen.
She's an electrician.
You'll never be able to prove that it wasn't just an accident.
It's Fjor.
I know what you did.
Fuck!
You killed her.
Who?
Time to die, Giant!
What is happening here?
You, come here, now. Come on!
Kneel.
We had a deal, but you broke it.
You killed an innocent person.
-I have no idea what… -Shut up!
Are you afraid, Fjor?
And you?
I thought…
The deal is off.
Now we're showing them who's in charge.
We?
The hammer.
And I.
So you're threatening my family?
I, too, am your family.
You've picked a side, haven't you?
Who told Fjor we had a witness?
…for some burned coffee. Home brew!
-Hello! -Hi, you guys.
You have to see something.
Are you ready?
HERE LIVES FAMILY OF SEIER EIDSVOLL
We're a real family now.
It's nice, right? Handmade!
I'm moving out.
And by the way, my family name is Seier Jutul.
Moving? Laurits.
What happened here?
-Didn't you hear anything? -No.
Magne was here.
He threatened us with the hammer.
He wants to be in charge.
And who's fault is that?
You're going to fix this. I'm not a fucking slave.
Maybe there is a way for us to get the power back.
But it will never happen while I have this on. Or this.
Fjor.
And how do we know that we can trust you?
You can't.
But do you have a choice?
Holy shit! It's so good to see you guys.
Magne has gone off the rails.
But it seems like you're already aware.
Hi, little Laurits. What did you bring?
My stuff.
-We can get the rest with the car. -Why?
I'm moving in.
We are family.
The only one related to you is dead.
And your brother is completely insane, so you will never live here.
Hi.
Mommy is a little sad today.
I'm not saying that to put pressure on you, or so that you will
feel like you have to be with me.
You're so nice to your mommy.
You know…
You're my only real family.
You shouldn't be a tool for Fjor.
We'll come up with our own plan.
From now on, you and I are in charge.
Just trust mommy.
Chaos showed its face in Edda.
Magne no longer had other gods to help him.
They went their own ways, where they could use their special gifts.
I've joined Paradise Beach
because I believe, that I can win on behalf of all
strong and independent women.
He's done it again, ladies and gentlemen.
Norway's new biathlon sports star has qualified for the Paralympic Games.
Harry Kristensen! Where does he get his strength from?
And in the meantime new plans were devised,
and old passions were rediscovered.
The sound of the old woman's neck as I broke it,
her body going limp…
I felt more alive than I have in a long time.
But you can't let it control you.
Do not become addicted.
You're better than that.
The hammer told Magne that the world was his,
and the once so insecure teenager
felt invincible for the first time.
And then you don't need anyone to contradict you.
No one to try to help.
