Ronja the Robber's Daughter (2024) s01e01 Episode Script
One Eye To The Sky
1
Blood will flow!
- Too hot.
- Too hot.
Drink.
Chase those wile-wings away
so I can hear what I'm singing.
Be gone! My child is being born tonight!
What will we do with it?
The tasty little human child.
Scratch, bite, tear!
Be gone from here! Fly away, you mares!
We will tear!
Look at that, I win again.
What?
You said that the highest score wins.
Yes, last time.
This time, whoever get the lowest wins.
And that would be me. I'm sorry.
What has happened to you?
He's got an arrow in his back!
Who shot you?
Two soldiers, but the wile-wings got them.
Is anything happening in there?
No, they've been at it for ages.
How long need it take
to squeeze out a little child?
Out of the way.
What?
You are the most beautiful child
that has ever been born.
I don't know how it happened,
but you already hold
my robber's heart in your little hands.
"Your little hands…"
A child of the thunderstorm.
A little wile-wing night's child.
I have a child!
Yes!
What happened?
Nothing.
Well?
What kind is it?
A robber's daughter!
Yes!
What will you call her?
Ronja.
Like I decided long ago.
And if she'd been a boy, what then?
If I decide my child will be
called Ronja, it will be a Ronja.
Ronja.
Oh dear.
Can I hold her a moment?
If you drop her, it will be
the last thing you do, old man.
The future of the Mattis line
is now secured.
Unlike Borka's.
Not much weight to her.
What did you expect?
That she would come out
as a fully grown robbers' chief?
Does anybody else think
there's anything wrong with my child?
No.
I suspected as much.
Watch out!
She's crying!
What happened?
What in hell's blood happened?
It was a hell of a bang.
I bet lightning struck somewhere.
- I'm thinking…
- Yes? Good.
- We never use the whole fortress anyway.
- No.
Good thinking.
- Most of what we need is on this side.
- Yeah.
A good trade-off for a night of thunder.
Half of my fortress
for this wonderful child.
Yeah.

RONJA THE ROBBER'S DAUGHTER
See you later, my little dove.
One eye to the sky.
- What's through there?
- Nothing you need worry about.
Hello there!
Hello there, Mattis.
Dear sir,
my name is Mattis
and I am a robbers' chief.
Unfortunately, that means that you will
now be separated from your belongings.
Let's take it all!
Here are some more furs.
One day I will swim like a fish.
Gather everything and bring it in.
- Ronja, my little dove.
- Mattis!
And thank you for sharing so generously!
Cart. Horse. Horse.
Chorm! It stinks!
Yoo-hoo!
Yoo-hoo?
Can you turn the stone?
- Lovis?
- Yes.
Are there others like me?
- Do you mean children?
- Yes.
Not in the Mattis Woods.
But elsewhere, there's plenty of them.
Help me out now.
Ronja, my little dove!
Ronja?
Where is she?
Where is my daughter?
Come.
What is she doing?
She's longing.
It's time, Lovis.
She must learn what it's like
to live in the Mattis Woods.
We must let her go.
Yes.
So you have finally realized.
There are things out there
you must watch out for.
Are you listening, Ronja?
I'm listening. Things to watch out for.
Wile-wings, of course.
But there are gray dwarves
and Borka robbers as well.
How do I tell a gray dwarf
from a Borka robber?
You'll know.
Well, then.
Ronja!
Watch out
so you don't get lost in the woods.
What do I do if I get lost in the woods?
- Try to find the right way.
- Sure.
Let the child go now,
so she can get somewhere before dark.
- Watch out so you don't fall in the river.
- What do I do then?
- Bye!
- Bye, Ronja.
- Then you must swim.
- Well, then.
And watch out for the Gobble Falls.
What do I do if I end up in Gobble Falls?
Then you don't do anything.
Ever again.
Come here.
Anything else?
Oh yes, there's lots to watch out for.
But you'll see.
You're ready for a lot,
but not for a night in the Mattis Woods.
One eye to the sky.
One eye to the sky.
A coin? A coin, please.
Fresh fish!
Fur for sale!
Fox tails for sale!
The woods are still not safe.
We thought you'd done something
about the robbers.
Yes, soon.
We have other routes to take.
We don't need to stop here.
So for your own sakes,
you should do something about it.
Halvert?
Another empty cart.
I'll send out some soldiers.
We can't afford
the merchants passing us by.
When times were good,
you could get away with doing nothing.
But times are no longer good.
The harvests are failing again.
People are starving.
I'm not starving.
You're not starving.
You are the law.
It's your job to keep this village safe.
The village is safe.
The robbers are in the woods. Not here.
Stop those damned
Mattis and Borka robbers immediately.
Or I'll find someone who will.
Skidas!
I have a job for you.
Find Borka.
Yes.
And now, you will stay away.
I'll stand by my word.
Is there anybody there?
Hello?
What do you want?
Bite!
Bite! Strike!
Bite the human.
Go away!
- Bite!
- Leave me alone!
Get away from here!
Go away! No!
Ronja!
Mattis!
Go away!
Be gone, gray dwarves!
I'll kill you!
Be gone!
Come!
Mattis!
There, now.
At least now you know
what gray dwarves are.
Yes, now I know what gray dwarves are.
They can sense your fear from far off.
Then they turn brave.
And dangerous.
That goes for a few other things
in the Mattis Woods as well.
So the best thing is to not be scared.
- So I should watch out for being scared?
- In a way.
But that doesn't mean there aren't things
you should stay away from.
Howling wolf in the nighttime wood
He longs for sleep, but it won't come
His wolf belly aches for a bit of food
Do you know what the best part
of going to bed is?
The chill of his den makes him numb
That you get to get up in the morning.
Oh wolf, oh wolf, keep away from here
Never shall you take my baby
Oh wolf, oh wolf, keep away from here
Never shall you take my baby
Slow down!
Or the food will think
it's ended up in a dog.
No time to slow down.
You have much more time left than I do.
- I'm going out into the woods.
- Right. What will you do there?
I'm going to watch out
so I don't fall in the river.
Yes, that sounds like a good day.
Yes, it does.
Ronja!
There's being in a hurry,
and being in too much of a hurry.
You're a child of a thunderstorm.
A wile-wing night's child.
Such children can become wildlings.
One eye to the sky.
One eye to the sky.
Blood will flow!
Where is she?
Scratch, tear!
The little human…
Where is she?
Where is she?
The tasty little human child…
Put your back into it!
My name is Borka,
and these are my robbers.
So keep your mouths shut
and your fingers in check.
And give us what we want.
We're done here.
Ronja!
You're wet.
That happens when you swim.
- You didn't fall in the river?
- No, you told me to watch out for that.
Come here.
Ronja…
Here, Mattis.
Come and help!
Ronja, take this to Lovis.
That's lovely.
Yes.
It's amazing how many lovely things
there are, just lying around.
I don't know about lying around.
They don't exactly grow on trees.
- Where do you find them, then?
- Find? There are people in the woods
- Chorm!
- Yes?
I'd better get on with it.
Mattis, where did you find all this?
A cart.
Go to Lovis now.
I know where the Borka robbers are.
Good.
Gather everyone.
What?
Didn't we have an understanding?
They pay us, and we don't look for them.
We do now. Gather everyone.
Go ahead and play.
Play.
Attack! Charge, soldiers!
Borka swine!
Let's get them!
Soldiers!
Burn everything!
Take everything valuable!
If Borka wasn't such a scoundrel,
I'd almost feel sorry for him.
Yeah…
What happened?
The soldiers drove Borka from his cave.
But he's a scoundrel,
so it doesn't matter.
The Borka robbers are scoundrels,
the lot of them.
- Let's drink to that!
- Yeah!
They only have themselves to blame.
Living in a cave, like a bunch of bats.
Do you think they sleep
hanging from the ceiling?
No, give me a secure fortress any day.
If the soldiers come here and bother us,
it'll be the last thing they do,
and they know it.
Is that from the Borka cave?
Yes.
Given how long they were allowed to roam,
I was hoping for more.
"Allowed to roam?"
I just went past the dungeon.
The empty dungeon.
They spotted us and fled through
the cave openings. They got away.
Some people in the village think
you may have let them escape.
Who are they?
The same people who think that the robbers
have made you a rich man over the years.
Rumors and lies.
I've called for outside help.
- Money.
- Go away!
So…
What are you watching out for today?
I don't know.
I've already watched out for most things.
That's what you think.
What do you mean?
It's not only things out there
in the woods that could hurt you.
It can hurt just as much in here.
I don't understand.
No, and if you're lucky you never will.
It's been a while
since I watched out for Hell's Mouth.
- I think I'll do that today.
- Yes, why not?
Yes.
I know who you are.
You're that robber's daughter
who roves around.
And who are you?
Birk Borkason.
We live here now.
Who are "we"?
Me, Borka, Undis and our robbers.
Blood will flow!
- Too hot.
- Too hot.
Drink.
Chase those wile-wings away
so I can hear what I'm singing.
Be gone! My child is being born tonight!
What will we do with it?
The tasty little human child.
Scratch, bite, tear!
Be gone from here! Fly away, you mares!
We will tear!
Look at that, I win again.
What?
You said that the highest score wins.
Yes, last time.
This time, whoever get the lowest wins.
And that would be me. I'm sorry.

I don't know how it happened,
but you already hold
my robber's heart in your little hands.
"Your little hands…"
A child of the thunderstorm.
A little wile-wing night's child.
I have a child!
Yes!
What happened?
Nothing.
Well?
What kind is it?
A robber's daughter!
Yes!

Ronja.

Ronja.
