Thorfinn begins his duel against Askeladd with Canute and Thorkell as witnesses. However, Thorfinn is unable to strike as he stands overwhelmed by the extraordinary mood that overtakes Askeladd after Bjorn’s departure. Having noticed Thorfinn’s hesitation, Askeladd lays down his sword and provokes Thorfinn into an unarmed fight, which incites Thorfinn’s fury.
But once you lose your temper,
it all goes to waste.
.لكنّ كلّ ذلك يذهب هباءً عندما تفقد أعصابك
Aber wenn dir das Blut zu Kopf steigt,
machst du alles zunichte.
Pero cuando pierdes los estribos,
todo se va al caño.
Pero cuando pierdes los estribos,
lo arruinas todo.
Mais dès que le sang te monte à la tête,
tu gâches tout.
Mas depois que perde a
calma, tudo está perdido.
