Orm, my son, see if those thirsty rats
have left a drop of ale.

:27:07
My mouth feels as if a she-cat
had littered in it.

:27:10
Please, listen to me.
I want to explain...

:27:13
I'm not going to listen to you!
:27:16
I'm a ruined man. An old, broken,
ruined man. Because of you.

:27:21
Now, Father.
:27:22
Ship, crew and the loot of Barbary
lost at the bottom of the sea.

:27:28
- Yet you manage to return.
- I had to return.

:27:31
Why? To disgrace me?
To shame me in front of Harald?

:27:34
I had to come back.
:27:37
Why?
:27:42
Because I need another ship.
:27:45
What? Another ship?!
:27:48
- Another ship and another crew.
- By the gods!

:27:51
- Hear me out.
- I've heard enough!

:27:53
Listen for one moment.
Remember when Orm and I were boys?

:27:57
We'd creep in to listen
to the storytellers.

:28:00
- What's that to do with it?
- There was a girl.

:28:03
A dark-skinned girl who used
to sing for you, remember?

:28:08
- Yeah, I remember.
- Yeah.

:28:11
- A girl from Egypt.
- That's right.

:28:14
We brought her back with us
after a winter expedition.

:28:18
- Yasmin.
- Yasmin.

:28:21
Skin like honey.
:28:23
She used to tell one story
we especially loved.

:28:27
- The story of the bell.
- Right, the Mother of Voices.

:28:30
- I remember.
- The great golden bell.

:28:33
Cast long ago by the monks of Byzantium.
A treasure lost for centuries.

:28:38
The richest prize in all the world,
Father.

:28:42
- That's why I've returned for a new ship.
- What?!

:28:47
I've found the bell.
:28:51
- You found it?
- Yes, Father.

:28:54
- I don't believe you.
- I found it.

:28:56
Nothing else would've brought me back
after losing my ship.
