BLACKNESS
Flames begin to lick upwards from the bottom of the screen. Suddenly all hell breaks loose. Screaming, yelling. Black figures flash across the foreground, with the flames still burning behind. There follows a confusion of burning, raping, killing and looting - we dont clearly see whats going on.
Suddenly we cut to the interior of a hut. The door is in the process of being broken down. The camera pans onto the close-up face of an attractive girl who is staring in horrified fascination at the door. Her arms are white with fresh dough and flour.
Suddenly the door bursts open and a wild-looking Viking leaps into the hut. He holds a sword. He looks around wildly and then his eyes come to rest on the girl.
This Viking, Im afraid, is Erik. We are about to see him in the worst possible light so be prepared. The girl, whose name is Helga, cowers, and looks terrified but resolute.
Erik glances round.
Then slowly he advances on the girl, forcing her back onto a chest. Erik holds his sword to Helgas throat with his right hand, while his left hand searches to find the thongs holding up his trousers.
He is clearly having difficulties trying to hold his heavy sword to Helgas throat at he same time as undoing his trousers. He fumbles and lowers his sword for a moment.
HELGA
Have you done this sort of thing before?
ERIK
