Seasickness isn't fatal.

We will step ashore in America.

You and me together.

Can't you wait a little!

He often lies like this in the mornings.

You have to shake him hard and long

before he wakes up.

His heart stops sometimes,

but then it starts right back up again.

This man is a dead as one can get.

I've seen dead people before.

Can't you wait a little? An hour or so, only.

-Till he starts to smell?

-Just a little longer!

Be a good first mate.

I won't let you take him !

It's me who should be here now!

-Why aren't we going to live in a house, Mother?

-in America we will live in a house.

Here look at this.

You're bringing a bad wife with you to America.

-Marta ! Come here, Marta.

-Come over here to Mother.

She's gotten so grumpy.

What's the matter, Inga-Lena?

I'm so dizzy.

I don't think I'm feeling well.

Lately I've had blood in my stool.

I think it's scurvy.

You must stay in bed,

and let Danjel do your chores.

He mustn't find out.

He has enough to worry about.

-Is he unwell, as well?

-No, but he is having a crisis of faith.

-He walks around suffering.

-He could still help out a little.

You mustn't say anything, but. . .

Danjel has confessed that he has committed

the graves sin there is.

He has believed himself free of sin.

But then he got seasick,

and after that he has been a changed man.

He says there isn't a single

just person here, Ulrika.

She escaped both the lice and the seasickness.

He says God has protected this vessel for her sake.

Don't mention anything about this to Danjel,

and don't tell him I'm unwell. Promise me!

Oh my God, Kristina !

What has happened to you?

I'm so tired, Karl Oskar.

I can't take it any longer.

-Are you in great pain?

-I'm just so tired.

It's because of all the blood you've lost.

We have to stop it. Lie still !

-I don't want Mother to bleed any more.

-I'll go wake the captain.

No, no. . . don't leave me, Karl Oskar!

My wife is bleeding to death.

Can the captain do anything?

Change the compress on her forehead once every hour

-Karl Oskar?

-Yes.

-You will be kind to the children won't you?

-Yes, of course.

That's good to hear. From now on

you'll have to be both mother and father to them.

Don't talk like that, Kristina.

-Don't you want anything?

-No, nothing.

Do you want a sugar cube?

I've been saving them for you.

You a kind man, Karl Oskar.

I don't have the strength to chew.

dear, Kristina. Kristina !

I wanted. . .

I wanted. . .to ask your forgiveness.

What would I have to forgive you?

That I wanted to make this journey.

-I wanted to as well.

-But it was me who pushed for it.

You wanted to make things better for us,

better for all of us.

Don't be sad, Karl Oskar.

So you forgive me? Kristina?

I have nothing to forgive you.

Remember that.

That's good to hear. .

I like you.

I always have.

-We are the best of friends.

-Yes, we are.

We are the best of friends, we are.

-I'm going to sleep a little.

-Yes, sleep.

-Sleep. You need it.

-Only a little while.

Of course you should sleep. Only. . .

As long as you don't. . .

Dad ! Mother has stopped bleeding.

-She is dead.

-No, she is alive.

I think she'll make it now.

-She just died.

-Can't you see for yourself?

Inga-Lena died a while back.

She never told me she was that poorly.

She never once complained.

Earth to earth, dust to dust.

Jesus Christ will wake you on the day of reckoning

her the Lords angels sing

And the Lord said onto you as he said onto Moses:

"you shall not reach there."

You, my beloved, didn't get to

see the new land either.

You reached the other shore ahead of us.

But when I wanted to set out,

for America you said :

"where you go, I goeth."

"where you stay, I stayeth."

"where you die, I dieth,"-

-"and there I will be buried."

-will we get there by midsummer?

-Yes, I think so.

Then we've been at sea for exactly 10 weeks.

-Do you want to read the English book?

-Yeah, let's do that.

What were you meant to say again when

seeking a placement?

"what can you do?

l am used to farm work."

-Let me practice mine as well?

-"I am the new servant girl."

"l am the new servant girl."

"wash your hands before food."

-"wash your". . .

-Sh*t!

"wash your hands

before you handle the food."

-befor-e!

-befor-e.

Why do they think all maids

have dirty hands in America?

I don't know.

It's probably because everything

is so nice and clean in the new world-

-that they have to ask those who

came from the old, dirty world.

Are you going to throw all that out?

I can clean and mend them when we get ashore.

The sight of these garments will

onyx be a torment to us.

don't want to be ashamed in front of the American

When they see these rags

they will wonder who we are,

Robert! Robert!

They can see America ! They can see America !

Hold on tight.

Now it's your turn.

Jump ashore! There you go!

Such a good boy to make it ashore on your own.

-What do we do with the cargo?

-As interpreter I'm in charge.

Can you keep an eye on this whilst

I go change some money with the captain?

I've heard Landberg is coming with us.

It says something about California.

It's about ships for California.

Stop that!

The Fin says every tenth person here is a thief.

He also says every fifth woman is a whore.

Do you want to buy a dog? Isn't this a nice

watch? He's running away.

-Does your ear hurt again?

-No, just howling.

-Arvid !

-He smells of spirits.

No. Come, Arvid.

Give me a dollar!

Are you asleep, Kristina?

He's moving.

He'll be ok.

Close your eyes. And smell.

It can't be!

Now you can eat and drink

as much as you can stomach

We have enough of that.

Have you ever seen such a beautiful apple?

I got it as a gift.

Come here, let's see.

There you go, and there.

I think America is a good place.

We won't need to regret our choice.

Wait here, I'm going to go look for our places.

Robert! Arvid ! We're going over here.

Wait here, Kristina.

I'm going to go get them.

The train's leaving. Hold on tight!

-Landberg, can't we open the doors?

-They're locked. They'll open them when we stop.

Three fingers ripped of the left hand.

That's how powerful the steam engine is.

-What if the steam gets out?

-I don't think so, but. . .

This is a strange invention. Not many people

back home have been this comfortable.

Does anyone collect the sh*t,

so that it may benefit the soil?

You remember you promised we would stick together

I won't forget my word. No matter what happens.

We stick together, no matter what.

-How much is this?

-25 cent.

It help against cholera, diarrhoea,

hair loss and other things.

-Doesn't smell very nice.

-Is it meant to be a pain killer?

They have nice looking money.

Decorated with all the stars of the night sky.

They represent the 13 first states.

It says something there,

at the top, under the woman.

"in god we trust".

that means "in God we trust".

What is he saying? Have you heard anything like it?
