Ronja the Robber's Daughter (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

The entrance has collapsed.
We won't get in or out.
What happened?
They took the horses.
Is this all you bring home?
With horses, it's difficult,
without horses, it's hopeless.
Winter has just begun.
Mattis has a daughter.
If we take her, Mattis will come to us.
Here's a little reminder.
Help me and I'll make sure
your sister and nephew get through winter.
- Why are you giving us this?
- You need it.
Stab me in the back
and I'll exile them too.
Get the girl out now.
Why don't you like snow?
I have
bad memories of the first snow.
What happened? I want to know.
Maybe when you're older.
May she be safe.
If anything happens to her
Pretty little human.
Food for the little ones.
I'll take you
piece by piece.
Birk!
Let her go!
Little human child
We'll meet again.
Birk!
Birk.
Shouldn't you be heading
home, Robber's Daughter?
Don't leave me.
Never leave me.
Let's see if I can free you.
Another one!
Little boy.
Getting snow in his eyes.
Why is she doing this?
Try now. Now.
- No more roof.
- Why are they doing this?
Thank you.
- Hey, Birk
- Yes?
I wish you were my brother.
I can be, if you want.
Robber's daughter.
I do.
But only if you call me Ronja.
Ronja.
Sister mine.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- You were out for a long time today.
- Yes, I was.
Did you have a good day?
Quite good.
Hmm.
What happened?
Did you hurt yourself?
No.
I just hit a branch skiing.
It's nothing.
Skully-Per says
it's the start of real winter.
So you can't be out anymore.
I will miss it.
But the beautiful part is
that when spring comes,
the Mattis Woods
will be free of Borka swine.
BASED ON ASTRID LINDGREN'S BOOK
RONJA THE ROBBER'S DAUGHTER
- That's nice, this. If you
- Yeah, yeah, I know.
Have you seen Ronja today?
She's sleeping in.
- She's not out of bed?
- No.
What's the matter with you?
Why aren't you up, jumping around?
I'm too tired.
Come on.
No. I don't want to.
You're not sick, are you?
I think so.
Well, then it's good that you keep warm.
Like you should when you're sick.
I'm sure I'll be up and about again soon.
Of course you will be.
Lovis.
Lovis!
Lovis.
Lovis!
Why aren't you with your sick child?
Because the sheep needed tending to.
You go to Ronja
with your herbs and potions.
If she's still alive.
She has a fever, Mattis.
That's how it starts.
And then it gets worse.
And then she'll be taken from me!
You don't know what it feels like
to lose your dearest little lamb.
They had young this spring.
They're all hanging,
salted and smoked, in the stores.
Of course you know what it feels like.
I'm sorry.
Ugh.
Lovis.
Yes, child.
Why do Borka and Mattis hate each other?
What makes you think that?
I've got time to think about things.
When I'm laying here, sick.
Mattis' father and Borka's fathers
had been enemies
for as long as anyone could remember.
No one remembered why anymore.
It was just the way it was.
They liked each other a lot,
Mattis and Borka.
But they had to meet in secret.
It would've been like
a sledgehammer blow to his head,
if Mattis' father found out
his son was friends with a Borka robber.
- But they saw each other anyway.
- How?
Mattis made a hole in the wall.
In the fortress's deepest chambers.
Behind it was a tunnel
through the mountain.
That's where they kept meeting.
Best friends want to be together.
And they were only children.
Then that winter came.
Borka swine!
No, Father!
Mattis' father made Mattis promise
to never see him again.
But they kept seeing each other,
Mattis and Borka.
As often as they could.
Until one day, Borka betrayed him
and led soldiers into the fortress
through their secret entrance.
What happened?
They managed to drive
the soldiers from the fortress.
But three of Mattis' father's robbers
gave their lives.
And some soldiers as well.
But worst of all was Mattis' mother.
Did she survive?
And that was
the end of their friendship.
And since that day, Mattis has hated
everything to do with Borka robbers.
Deceiving, unreliable bastards,
the lot of them.
But that was a long time ago.
Surely there's someone
who isn't a deceiving scoundrel?
Mattis would be furious
if he knew you even thought about it.
Forget about it right now.
Rest now.
Mattis doesn't need to know
what we've spoke about.
You can go inside.
Borka may be dumber than a pig,
but not even he will try to fight
with snow up to his armpits.
He's got other things to worry about.
This won't last long.
How long have you lived here?
All my life.
Our parents built the cottage.
They wanted us to move, Chegge and I.
This village has decided
we're good for nothing.
You've lived here all your life,
you must have friends.
I lost the few I had when Chegge stole.
- I've never really had a friend.
- Never?
Well, once
we lived for almost a year
in a cottage by a moor.
Cappa was injured and needed to heal.
That's the longest
we've ever stayed in one place.
I'd be very happy to be your friend.
If you'd like.
I would like that.
No.
Those who stood guard eat first.
Your skinny body
doesn't look like it needs much.
But I'm hungry.
That was unnecessary.
I'm hungry too.
And grumpy.
Ronja, my little dove.
- You're well again.
- Mm.
Mwah! This calls for a celebration.
Is there anything you want?
I'll do anything to get it for you.
Nothing you can give me.
Do you know what she means?
Me? No. I don't know anything.
Stop snowing!
Ronja! It's your turn.
- When is it spring again?
- That's still a while off.
Well, what will happen in spring?
I can get out of here.
You win.
Oh! We haven't finished playing.
I have.
How much are you giving her?
As much as she needs.
You're there a long time
when you deliver the food.
Yeah, we talk. She's my friend.
Fancy that.
I'm happy for you, but we're not
staying here, you know that.
But can't I be happy for a little while?
If you want something, you poor wretches,
show yourselves.
That's what I thought.
This is a dead end.
"This is a dead end."
"All this came crashing down
the night you were born."
It did?
Yes, it did.
Birk!
Good night, my dove.
Birk!
Ronja! Sister mine,
It's good to hear your voice.
- I'd like to see you as well.
- We can!
I've made it so we can.
Climb over the rocks
I'll see you here tomorrow.
Is this where you've been?
This is where I've been.
Mattis asked us to look for you.
What are you doing down here?
Uh
Well, sometimes I want to be alone.
You can't spend
all your time out in the snow.
Oh, heavens, no.
You should keep away
from snow and bathwater.
I've always said so.
But you can play dice night and day.
- You can always play dice.
- Ah! Yes, you can.
- Huh?
- It's your turn.
Right.
Three, four, five, six, seven
Eight, I win!
No, I had ten.
I had ten.
- But now the one with the least wins.
- Yes.
Birk?
Would you like some more?
Hey!
Out!
Huh?
It's cold outside.
So you like heat?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Then stay,
and you'll be in real hot water.
Mmm! Mmm!
Birk!
I've been waiting for you.
And I've been waiting for you.
Ever since you saved me
from the Great Wile-Wing.
You haven't changed.
Just a little paler.
What's happened to you?
Nothing.
I just haven't eaten very much.
Don't you have enough food?
It's a long time since
anyone was full in Borka Keep.
Here.
Eat if you're hungry.
Weren't you going to eat that?
There's more at home.
Why don't you have any food?
When winter came, we couldn't hunt,
because we lost our horses.
Mattis took them.
And even if we had caught something big
we couldn't get it into the fortress.
It's our fault you're hungry.
Your father's, maybe.
Not yours.
Do you smell how dirty I am?
Oh.
Sometimes we haven't been able
to dig the stream out.
We drink melted snow, but we can't bathe.
It doesn't matter
if you're dirty and lousy.
But I don't want you to be hungry.
We're all hungry.
It's cold here
when you're not hauling rocks.
Maybe we should go back up to the heat.
Yes, maybe.
- I'll see you again tomorrow.
- I'll see you again tomorrow.
Mm.
Hold your nose.
What's wrong?
Your mind has been somewhere else all day.
I'm thinking about the water.
What about the water?
That we have a well.
And can get as much as we want.
Oh.
That's all.
There.
You're louse-free again for a while.
Mattis, your turn.
No. I don't want to.
Uh-huh.
I'm chief. I decide.
And I decide
that I won't be combed for lice.
There's another thing you can decide,
while you're sitting there,
deciding things.
What's that?
If you want to sleep
next to your 12 filthy, lousy robbers,
or with me.
Well, go on then.
Ow!
Ow.
Not so hard. Ow!
Lovis
Where's Ronja?
Oh, she's around here somewhere.
Yes, but where?
She gets up, disappears
and doesn't come back until evening.
As usual, in other words.
Yes, but then she's in the forest.
What is she doing?
She's running around here somewhere.
Here you go.
What's this?
I can give you food.
I don't know how
I didn't think of that earlier.
Borka would be furious if he found out
I'd accepted food from you.
Fill the stores a little at a time,
and they won't notice.
If only Borka hadn't betrayed Mattis
What do you mean?
That's why they hate each other.
Because Borka betrayed Mattis.
That's not what I heard.
But it doesn't matter.
Yes, tell me!
What did you hear?
That's them.
I am your brother.
I will never betray you.
Cold, cold, it's cold.
Mm-hmm.
Mmm!
Mm-hmm.
- It feels like I'm stealing from you.
- I feel like I'm stealing from Mattis.
But he wants me to be a robber, so eat.
It's not much longer.
It'll be spring soon.
See. Either vermin are
stealing our food, or it's disappearing.
What do you mean?
More seems to disappear
than what we're getting out.
It's here one moment, and then it isn't.
- And we didn't just eat it?
- No, I don't think so.
What's disappearing most?
Grain, bread, meat Everything, really.
Here's what we'll do.
First, we make sure.
And then, someone will be in real trouble.
How are you doing, Chegge?
What's on your mind?
It's cold.
If you're cold, just go sit by the fire.
Yeah.
I mean
It's hard, making it through the winter.
Don't worry, we'll manage.
We have more than enough.
Yes, we have enough.
We have enough.
Does she know why?
Why what?
Why she's been fed all winter.
To survive.
Or what do you mean?
Do you know why she's been fed all winter?
To survive.
So we've just been nice to her?
What have you done?
Nothing.
I've kept Chegge's sister alive out of
the kindness of my heart, apparently.
Get going, before spring arrives.
What's she doing here?
- Get out.
- Get out of our town.
Shoo away. Shoo away!
- She's disgusting.
- Get away.
Get away from here.
Solve?
Solve?
No!
No
No. No, Flit
No, no, no
- Here.
- Thank you, sister mine.
You're so kind.
I've never seen anything like it.
You're my brother.
You can't let your brother starve.
If they only knew who
kept them alive through winter.
But you can't tell them.
Mattis would
No. I don't even dare think
of what he would do.
Damned thieves.
Sturkas, Lovis.
Come here!
Four loaves of bread and the meat is gone.
Someone's taking our food.
Who? No one's getting in through the snow.
That's exactly it.
Impossible. No one would do that.
Mattis, no one would do that.
You know that.
You've known us all for ages.
Not quite all.
