Ride of the Valkyrie

Episode 9
Written by Matthew Parkhill
Directed by Isabelle Sieb

They reach the Pillars of Halvar. The place, and the treasure, are real. But when the gold, silver and gems are lost to the sea, Nemo feels he has brought the crew of the Nautilus to the ends of the world for nothing. But Ranbir rallies them — the Company has made them all suffer, and millions more. It must be brought down.

The Norwegian Sea. A forest of skulls in the water. But no Pillars of Halvar. Humility realises the source of the story may be intentionally misleading. They reverse direction. Vast rock formations and a narrow gateway…

An old Viking ship, and the queen’s remains! But where is the treasure? Suddenly, they are taken by the Valkyrie — female warriors — and taken to their cliff edge settlement. The skulls are the heads of those who have tried to take the treasure. Revna, the Valkyrie leader, wants instant executions, but Nemo knows their law. They are allowed a hearing.

As they await trial, Nemo realises the treasure is here in the settlement — gems inset in structures, gold and silver plates and weapons. Nemo confronts Revna that the Timur ruby around her neck was taken from his country hundreds of years ago. The crew’s character references for Nemo are heartrending, but Revna will not be moved. They must die.

Nemo breaks free and swipes the ruby from Revna. They swim for the Nautilus. Revna decides to bury the treasure forever. She releases a huge catapult which fires boulders into the sea and sets off a landslide. The ruby is knocked from Nemo’s hand, but he lets it go to save a drowning Cuff. The landslide creates a tsunami that propels the Nautilus to safety as the Pillars of Halvar crumble into the sea.

Nemo has brought them to the ends of the world for nothing. But Ranbir rallies them — the Company has made them all suffer, and millions more. It must be brought down. In London, Crawley receives Millais’ telegram and prepares to protect the Company headquarters with its massive army. But the Nautilus is already there…
