Episode Description:
A slave at Kjallakr's farm on Ketil's estate escapes after killing his master and his sons and setting fire to the farmhouse. He then heads off to find his wife, although suffering from a stab wound. At Sverkel's farm, Einar contemplates his future, possibly with Arnheid. Later, Thorfinn, Einar, and Snake discover that Sverkel has collapsed in the field, and the mistress of Ketil's farm assigns Arnheid to help care for him. Three days later Fox informs Snake of the escaped slave and a reward of three horses for his capture, and Snake advises caution if he is found. Later, Fox, Badger and Lizard find the slave in the woods, but as they begin arguing loudly about the reward, the slave attacks them, killing Lizard and wounding Badger. Back at the farm, Thorfinn eavesdrops on Snake reading a passage from the Bible about loving one's enemies to a bed-bound and dying Sverkel. They are interrupted when the slave rides by on a stolen horse, pursued by Fox and Badger. While Snake rushes to get his sword, Arnheid recognizes the escapee as her husband, Gardar.
