1
00:00:07,508 --> 00:00:11,846
<i>More, give me more Give me more</i>

2
00:00:12,805 --> 00:00:16,893
<i>If I had a heart
I could love you</i>

3
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:22,440
<i>If I had a voice I would sing</i>

4
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:28,487
<i>After the night When I wake up</i>

5
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:34,785
<i>I'll see What tomorrow brings</i>

6
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:45,254
<i>If I had a voice I would sing</i>

7
00:00:54,972 --> 00:00:56,557
Murderer!

8
00:01:12,615 --> 00:01:13,950
I was told he was dead.

9
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:15,660
Killed at York.

10
00:01:16,327 --> 00:01:19,080
It seems the sons of Ragnar
fought among themselves.

11
00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:20,873
Heahmund was forced
to fight with them.

12
00:01:21,165 --> 00:01:22,583
He's lived among pagans.

13
00:01:22,667 --> 00:01:24,460
Do you suppose he has changed?

14
00:01:27,421 --> 00:01:28,464
Bring him here.

15
00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:32,176
Bring Bishop Heahmund.

16
00:01:40,059 --> 00:01:41,060
My lady.

17
00:01:41,644 --> 00:01:42,812
Your Grace.

18
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:48,734
Rise, Bishop Heahmund.

19
00:01:51,862 --> 00:01:53,406
You were taken captive.

20
00:01:53,489 --> 00:01:56,450
Yes, I fought in the great war
between the sons of Ragnar.

21
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:58,786
The son, Ivar, the Boneless,

22
00:01:59,203 --> 00:02:00,204
was triumphant.

23
00:02:00,913 --> 00:02:02,164
I know Ivar.

24
00:02:02,832 --> 00:02:04,917
He came here
with Ragnar Lothbrok.

25
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:07,420
I played games with him
when I was a boy.

26
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:11,215
So you have returned with
the sons who were defeated.

27
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:12,675
Yes.

28
00:02:13,217 --> 00:02:14,343
Why?

29
00:02:16,721 --> 00:02:19,307
Sire.
Why have they come here?

30
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:27,023
I offered them safe passage.

31
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:33,988
How easy it proves
to fool people. Hmm?

32
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:37,366
Look at us!

33
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,118
I have no fear of death.

34
00:02:39,744 --> 00:02:41,162
I will embrace it.

35
00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:43,372
But it is too early
for my children to die.

36
00:02:43,873 --> 00:02:45,875
We sailed right into a trap.

37
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:47,960
Bishop Heahmund has betrayed us.

38
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:49,587
I can't believe that.

39
00:02:49,754 --> 00:02:51,547
How else was
he going to get home?

40
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:55,509
He needed a ship.
He needed a crew.

41
00:02:56,385 --> 00:02:57,678
We just gave him both.

42
00:02:57,762 --> 00:02:59,722
Imagine how famous
King Alfred will be

43
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,640
when he shows
the Saxons our heads.

44
00:03:01,724 --> 00:03:03,601
And the best part about it is,

45
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,436
we gave it to him on a plate!

46
00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:09,523
I still cannot believe
that he has betrayed us.

47
00:03:09,732 --> 00:03:11,776
And I cannot believe
the famous Lagertha

48
00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:13,694
has proved to be
a fool for love.

49
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:16,655
Well, you have never been
a fool for love.

50
00:03:16,781 --> 00:03:17,782
Have you, Bjorn?

51
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:22,161
This is where Ragnar was
imprisoned and betrayed.

52
00:03:23,662 --> 00:03:26,290
And now, we will
all die here too.

53
00:03:32,755 --> 00:03:35,841
I propose a toast
to Bishop Heahmund

54
00:03:36,509 --> 00:03:39,261
scourge of the Vikings
and Man of God.

55
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:41,222
Bishop Heahmund.

56
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:58,197
Dear gods,

57
00:03:59,824 --> 00:04:02,159
why did you decide
to spare me again?

58
00:04:03,702 --> 00:04:05,121
I don't understand.

59
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:07,748
Is it a joke?

60
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:10,918
Does it amuse you
to see me suffer?

61
00:04:14,046 --> 00:04:16,048
What good could I do
for these people?

62
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:20,052
I've tried so hard
to make them see,

63
00:04:20,886 --> 00:04:22,680
but they are blind.

64
00:04:27,977 --> 00:04:29,937
Why don't you answer me?

65
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:34,441
Why don't you show yourselves
to me as you used to?

66
00:04:37,111 --> 00:04:38,654
Perhaps you never did.

67
00:04:40,823 --> 00:04:42,616
Perhaps you never did.

68
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:03,137
Get up!

69
00:05:05,681 --> 00:05:06,849
Move!

70
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:11,478
Move!

71
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:15,524
<i>I'm aware of who you are.</i>

72
00:05:15,608 --> 00:05:16,692
I'm not foolish enough

73
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:18,903
not to recognize your
potential for my kingdom,

74
00:05:19,445 --> 00:05:21,447
if you are willing
to fight with us

75
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:23,449
against the armies
of your countrymen.

76
00:05:24,742 --> 00:05:25,951
We may,

77
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:29,246
on the condition
that you allow us to settle

78
00:05:29,330 --> 00:05:32,458
in the part of East Anglia
King Ecbert gave to us.

79
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:35,628
I have every intention ofhononng
my grandfather's pledges.

80
00:05:35,711 --> 00:05:37,796
But first, you must
demonstrate your worth

81
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,216
and your loyalty
to our cause in battle.

82
00:05:40,299 --> 00:05:42,218
We have a legal right
to that land.

83
00:05:42,718 --> 00:05:44,345
We accept your offer.

84
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:48,641
I'm glad.
It was Bishop Heahmund

85
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:51,018
who proposed the solution
which seemed to me wise.

86
00:05:54,438 --> 00:05:56,774
So, as long as
we're allies and friends,

87
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:58,984
you are free to use
the Royal Villa as you wish.

88
00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:01,195
My servants are
also your servants.

89
00:06:01,487 --> 00:06:03,822
My kitchens and cellars
are there for your use.

90
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,575
I believe you have
two young children with you.

91
00:06:07,618 --> 00:06:09,370
Let us have a care
for them also.

92
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,288
Thank you, Lord King.

93
00:06:17,169 --> 00:06:18,420
We have fought against you

94
00:06:18,504 --> 00:06:20,339
and now we shall
fight together with you.

95
00:06:20,422 --> 00:06:23,008
I know my grandfather
King Ecbert would approve,

96
00:06:23,092 --> 00:06:25,302
for I know the love
he bore King Ragnar.

97
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:39,650
Can I trust them?

98
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:41,860
You can trust Lagertha.

99
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,324
Sire.

100
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:49,952
One small matter.

101
00:06:50,369 --> 00:06:52,079
I would like my bishopric back.

102
00:06:52,705 --> 00:06:55,874
I wish to be Bishop Heahmund
of Sherborne once more.

103
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:59,461
My Lord, because we thought
you were dead,

104
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:02,631
the King felt obliged to appoint
a replacement as Bishop.

105
00:07:06,802 --> 00:07:09,471
And who did you appoint?

106
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:12,308
Your noble friend, Lord Cuthred.

107
00:07:17,104 --> 00:07:19,606
Lord Cuthred is no churchman.

108
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:22,026
But he is a supporter
of our regime.

109
00:07:22,318 --> 00:07:24,320
Therefore, entitled
to preferment.

110
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:26,947
And yet, I am not dead.

111
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:29,867
So you can pronounce
his appointment

112
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:31,785
invalid.

113
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:34,079
In some ways, I wish I could.

114
00:07:34,288 --> 00:07:36,540
Lord Cuthred has
already shown an appetite

115
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:38,709
for fighting for clerical power.

116
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:41,879
But unfortunately, I'm not yet
strong enough to remove him,

117
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:43,547
especially in your favor.

118
00:07:46,717 --> 00:07:48,886
Why "especially"?

119
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:52,306
Everyone knows by now that you
did not die fighting the pagans.

120
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:55,225
Rather you joined them.
I did not have much choice.

121
00:07:55,351 --> 00:07:57,603
The great defender
of Christendom fighting

122
00:07:57,686 --> 00:08:00,731
not in the name of our Lord,
but in the name of pagan gods.

123
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:03,984
I am what I have always been.

124
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:07,488
Christ's warrior on Earth.

125
00:08:08,489 --> 00:08:09,865
And I fight for Him

126
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:14,536
wherever and for
whomever He chooses.

127
00:08:14,745 --> 00:08:17,664
I believe you, but, alas,
there are many who don't.

128
00:08:19,083 --> 00:08:22,252
And to them you must prove yourself
before I can make you again

129
00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:24,129
prince of our Holy Church.

130
00:08:52,282 --> 00:08:53,700
My people.

131
00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:56,412
My dear people.

132
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,372
I have chosen

133
00:08:58,664 --> 00:09:00,874
this woman to be my new wife.

134
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:04,086
Her name is Freydis,
and soon you will all know her

135
00:09:04,169 --> 00:09:07,005
as your new Queen of Kattegat.

136
00:09:17,766 --> 00:09:19,685
This is all about the kingship.

137
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:23,939
He takes a wife,
produces an heir,

138
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:29,069
and then, in his eyes,
Kattegat is his forever.

139
00:09:29,153 --> 00:09:30,154
A good plan.

140
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:31,864
Except for one thing.

141
00:09:32,322 --> 00:09:33,490
What "thing"?

142
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,662
He can't produce children.

143
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:41,707
He is boneless.

144
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:17,993
Yes.

145
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:21,163
May the gods smile
on your happiness.

146
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:33,008
I think it's
your bedtime, Hvitserk.

147
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:37,679
You know What?

148
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:40,015
You insult the gods.

149
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:42,351
What?

150
00:10:43,352 --> 00:10:44,686
The gods love me.

151
00:10:45,062 --> 00:10:46,230
You know that.

152
00:10:54,238 --> 00:10:55,614
I want you.

153
00:10:57,366 --> 00:10:58,367
Mmm.

154
00:11:16,969 --> 00:11:18,178
No.

155
00:11:18,887 --> 00:11:20,138
Don't.

156
00:11:21,265 --> 00:11:22,599
You know I can't.

157
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:24,351
You can do anything.

158
00:11:25,978 --> 00:11:27,229
Trust me.

159
00:11:28,146 --> 00:11:30,023
<i>Prawns...
Nat.</i>

160
00:11:31,441 --> 00:11:33,151
Ivar, listen to me.

161
00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:36,280
To me, you are a god,

162
00:11:37,531 --> 00:11:39,032
above all men,

163
00:11:39,658 --> 00:11:41,159
above all others.

164
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,370
The gods made you,

165
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,205
<i>Nat.</i>

166
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:49,167
<i>Nat.</i>

167
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:54,214
Love me as I love you,

168
00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:57,134
and I will have your child.

169
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:00,470
I will have your child.

170
00:12:00,971 --> 00:12:02,180
The gods

171
00:12:03,098 --> 00:12:05,475
never had children with humans.

172
00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:06,977
You are wrong.

173
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:09,771
Odin conceived a son with Rinda.

174
00:12:10,605 --> 00:12:12,316
That son was Vali,

175
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:14,860
who killed Hod

176
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:18,405
in the revenge for
the murder of Balder.

177
00:12:26,371 --> 00:12:27,914
You are a god.

178
00:12:31,168 --> 00:12:32,419
A god.

179
00:12:34,838 --> 00:12:36,631
All you have to do

180
00:12:38,342 --> 00:12:39,843
is believe.

181
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:49,686
By your blood...

182
00:12:50,145 --> 00:12:52,314
I will bear you a child.

183
00:12:53,023 --> 00:12:54,358
A son.

184
00:12:54,733 --> 00:12:56,985
And he too will be a god.

185
00:12:58,362 --> 00:12:59,404
Like you.

186
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:04,785
And he.
The embodiment of my love.

187
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,871
Will always be by your side,

188
00:13:08,538 --> 00:13:10,374
in times of peace,

189
00:13:10,916 --> 00:13:12,125
of war,

190
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:14,294
and in time of treachery.

191
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:25,824
My Lord Heahmund.

192
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,367
Brother in Christ.

193
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:29,077
Let us embrace,

194
00:14:29,161 --> 00:14:30,620
and thank God for your return.

195
00:14:33,665 --> 00:14:35,000
My Lord Cuthred,

196
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:38,044
how strange it is

197
00:14:38,295 --> 00:14:40,630
to find you set upon such a...

198
00:14:43,758 --> 00:14:45,427
sacred stage.

199
00:14:46,261 --> 00:14:48,138
I never thought your ambitions

200
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,682
were fixed upon our Holy Church.

201
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:53,602
God does indeed work
in a mysterious way,

202
00:14:53,685 --> 00:14:54,686
my dear Heahmund.

203
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:57,772
But like St. Paul
on the road to Damascus,

204
00:14:57,856 --> 00:14:59,524
I, too, was struck by lightning

205
00:14:59,608 --> 00:15:02,360
and saw that my past life
was the way to hell.

206
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:05,155
That I needed redemption
and the Lord's grace

207
00:15:05,947 --> 00:15:07,449
before it was too late.

208
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:10,202
I still wonder,

209
00:15:11,703 --> 00:15:14,122
if you would lie down
on a burning griddle

210
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:15,999
or castrate yourself

211
00:15:16,082 --> 00:15:18,001
or pluck out your eyes

212
00:15:18,084 --> 00:15:19,711
if our Lord requested it,

213
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:22,380
as I would.

214
00:15:22,881 --> 00:15:26,510
I cannot help but think your
ambitions are more worldly

215
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:28,637
and less sacred.

216
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:31,431
Heahmund, you're not exactly
a saint yourself.

217
00:15:31,932 --> 00:15:33,892
The Lord knows my struggles.

218
00:15:35,936 --> 00:15:37,354
I struggle

219
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:39,981
with the devil in the desert
as our Lord did,

220
00:15:41,316 --> 00:15:43,777
but at least,
my struggles are spiritual.

221
00:15:47,822 --> 00:15:49,449
I know you.

222
00:15:51,493 --> 00:15:53,912
You like being
the prince of the Church

223
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:56,248
because of these fine robes

224
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:59,292
and the trappings
of high office,

225
00:16:02,504 --> 00:16:03,797
and the power.

226
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,423
And if I have that power,

227
00:16:05,507 --> 00:16:07,717
do you suppose
I would willingly renounce it?

228
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:09,928
This is my place.

229
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:13,098
I am Sherborne's true Bishop,

230
00:16:13,181 --> 00:16:14,474
notyou.

231
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,936
You are a hypocrite

232
00:16:19,396 --> 00:16:21,273
and should step aside

233
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,442
before the Lord finds you out.

234
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:34,327
On the contrary, I believe I and
others who share my opinion

235
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:36,413
are doing the Lord's work
and protecting the Church

236
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,248
against the attacks
of our new king.

237
00:16:38,707 --> 00:16:40,041
You have been away.

238
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:43,128
The death of King Aethelwulf
was a tragedy for Wessex,

239
00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:45,773
and the ascension of his son, a most
dangerous outcome for all of us

240
00:16:45,797 --> 00:16:47,799
who believe in
our holy Catholic Church

241
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,384
and the future of our country.

242
00:16:50,885 --> 00:16:52,220
And so, you

243
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:55,640
and these others

244
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:57,976
would seek Alfred's overthrow?

245
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:01,479
Heahmund, I...
I did not say so.

246
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:06,860
You did not have to.

247
00:17:08,403 --> 00:17:09,529
Our interview's over.

248
00:17:09,613 --> 00:17:12,198
I'm sorry yourjourney here
was fruitless.

249
00:17:12,282 --> 00:17:14,534
I am Bishop of Sherborne
and will remain so,

250
00:17:14,618 --> 00:17:16,286
by God's good grace.

251
00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:21,041
No crop.

252
00:17:24,586 --> 00:17:25,587
No food.

253
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:28,965
Nothing to eat.

254
00:17:33,637 --> 00:17:35,388
We won't survive this winter.

255
00:17:39,851 --> 00:17:42,520
<i>From, What do you want?</i>

256
00:17:42,979 --> 00:17:44,731
Everyone here wants to pretend

257
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:46,608
that Thorgrim's death
was an accident.

258
00:17:46,691 --> 00:17:49,069
It was no accident.
You killed him.

259
00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:50,695
You killed my brother.

260
00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:54,324
And I want to remind you both
that I know the truth.

261
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,785
We didn't kill him.

262
00:17:57,118 --> 00:17:59,245
Get that into your stupid head.

263
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:01,289
<i>From, you are a good boy,</i>

264
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:04,709
as was your brother,

265
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:06,711
as was my son Bul.

266
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:09,631
But if you ever speak
this way to me again,

267
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:12,926
this community will
lose another good boy.

268
00:18:13,009 --> 00:18:15,720
You do not care
for this community, Eyvind.

269
00:18:15,804 --> 00:18:16,930
Oh, I care.

270
00:18:17,722 --> 00:18:19,516
I care more than you know,

271
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:22,227
and more than that fool, Floki.

272
00:18:31,361 --> 00:18:33,238
They all think that I was lying.

273
00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:35,782
That I was lying
to entice you all

274
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:38,034
to come here
for my own selfish reasons.

275
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:40,662
Or...

276
00:18:41,413 --> 00:18:42,997
because I am insane.

277
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:46,626
Perhaps they are right.

278
00:18:50,338 --> 00:18:52,424
What if I never saw the gods?

279
00:18:54,843 --> 00:18:57,011
What if it was all in my head?

280
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,514
What if Ubbe was right?

281
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:03,643
Perhaps I'm just
a crazy old fool after all.

282
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:06,980
The gods are not here.

283
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:09,149
They're not here!

284
00:20:03,995 --> 00:20:05,705
Where have you been?
No.

285
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:10,543
To Sherborne,

286
00:20:11,002 --> 00:20:12,378
where I used to be Bishop,

287
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,255
to visit my successor.

288
00:20:22,722 --> 00:20:23,932
What is wrong?

289
00:20:24,474 --> 00:20:25,767
They want to kill him.

290
00:20:26,643 --> 00:20:28,144
Who do they want to kill?

291
00:20:28,686 --> 00:20:30,104
They want to kill Alfred.

292
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:32,816
They want to kill the king.

293
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:56,339
Princess Elsewith.

294
00:20:57,549 --> 00:20:58,550
My Lady.

295
00:20:58,633 --> 00:21:00,260
Welcome to Wessex.

296
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:03,888
Yourjourney must have
been long and hard.

297
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:08,476
May I introduce you to my
elder son, Prince Aethelred.

298
00:21:08,726 --> 00:21:09,894
My Lord.

299
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,230
You must come inside and rest.

300
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,774
And later, you'll meet the king.

301
00:21:16,651 --> 00:21:19,904
You told us that you would
honor King Eobert's pledges.

302
00:21:21,364 --> 00:21:24,450
That you would hand over the
lands that we are entitled to.

303
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:26,119
If you recall,
I said you'd have to

304
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,996
prove your value to us first.

305
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,081
We don't have to prove anything.

306
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:33,501
We have the legal right,
here, signed by King Ecbert,

307
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:35,503
in our presence.

308
00:21:39,215 --> 00:21:42,343
My grandfather had no authority
to grant you any land.

309
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:45,054
He had already relinquished
the throne to my father,

310
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:47,599
who was crowned here
a few days before you arrived.

311
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,643
That's all?
It was all just a lie?

312
00:21:54,856 --> 00:21:57,025
But now, you are the king.

313
00:21:59,777 --> 00:22:01,821
So you can sign it over to us,

314
00:22:01,905 --> 00:22:04,365
and you can grant us
those lands right now.

315
00:22:05,491 --> 00:22:09,120
In theory. yes. I could.
What does that mean?

316
00:22:09,203 --> 00:22:11,998
There are important people here
who do not want me to grant lands

317
00:22:12,081 --> 00:22:14,876
to those who, in the past,
have attacked and raided us.

318
00:22:14,959 --> 00:22:18,046
So why would we fight for you when
everything you say is just a lie?

319
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,423
I am not lying.

320
00:22:21,132 --> 00:22:24,218
I'm being more honest with you
than you've any right to expect.

321
00:22:24,302 --> 00:22:26,512
You have thrown yourself
upon my mercy.

322
00:22:27,138 --> 00:22:29,641
So do not presume anymore
upon my charity.

323
00:22:29,724 --> 00:22:32,518
When I can, I will
grant you that land.

324
00:22:35,313 --> 00:22:37,941
In the meantime,
I must go meet my future wife.

325
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,662
Fear not,
he'll be here momentarily.

326
00:22:54,666 --> 00:22:55,959
The King.

327
00:23:00,254 --> 00:23:01,673
There you are.

328
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,842
May I introduce my niece,

329
00:23:04,926 --> 00:23:06,469
Princess Elsewith.

330
00:23:06,678 --> 00:23:07,804
Princess.

331
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:09,889
Please, sit.

332
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:37,709
So you are Manuel's daughter?
Yes.

333
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:40,253
I remember Mannel
before the gates of York.

334
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:42,338
He was a very brave man.

335
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:43,840
He saved my life.

336
00:23:44,173 --> 00:23:45,591
I didn't know that.

337
00:23:46,801 --> 00:23:48,886
Ijust heard he died in battle.

338
00:23:49,887 --> 00:23:51,806
When the Northmen
were pressing us back,

339
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:54,017
he sacrificed himself for us.

340
00:23:58,438 --> 00:24:00,273
But are these not Northmen?

341
00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:02,525
Here at your court?

342
00:24:02,608 --> 00:24:04,360
The sons of
King Ragnar Lothbrok,

343
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:06,237
the most famous of all Northmen,

344
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,530
on our side,

345
00:24:07,905 --> 00:24:09,407
and prepared to fight for us.

346
00:24:09,866 --> 00:24:11,033
Who is that?

347
00:24:11,868 --> 00:24:13,119
Bjorn Ironside.

348
00:24:15,204 --> 00:24:16,914
I have heard tales of him.

349
00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:18,291
Alfred.

350
00:24:20,334 --> 00:24:21,586
You ought to know,

351
00:24:22,128 --> 00:24:24,464
the Archbishop of Canterbury
summoned a Holy Synod.

352
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:27,467
To discuss your taxing the church.
What for?

353
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:29,469
And your harboring of pagans
in the Royal Villa.

354
00:24:29,719 --> 00:24:31,471
You must take
this seriously, Alfred.

355
00:24:31,763 --> 00:24:33,806
They're not the only voices
raised against you.

356
00:24:43,608 --> 00:24:44,859
Come on.

357
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:50,448
Too slow.

358
00:24:55,745 --> 00:24:57,955
Why do you watch these pagans?

359
00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:01,042
I am curious to see a woman
fighting equally with a man.

360
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:06,214
I had heard of these
so-called shield-maidens.

361
00:25:07,089 --> 00:25:09,175
I did not believe
they really existed.

362
00:25:09,383 --> 00:25:12,261
It is not proper or decent
for women to fight.

363
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,597
Only these horrid pagans,

364
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,641
worshippers of the devil,
would allow it.

365
00:25:18,976 --> 00:25:22,313
It amazes and disquiets me
that the King of Wessex allows

366
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:24,732
such people to live
freely at his villa.

367
00:25:24,816 --> 00:25:27,610
Sons of Ragnar, who most
violently put to death

368
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:29,946
both King Aelle and King Ecbert.

369
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:32,198
And now they are treated
like honored guests.

370
00:25:48,130 --> 00:25:49,674
We should rest the horses.

371
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:31,507
You asked to see me?

372
00:26:31,883 --> 00:26:32,884
Yes.

373
00:26:33,551 --> 00:26:35,303
Please, sit.

374
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:41,851
Some wine?

375
00:26:49,609 --> 00:26:52,236
I think your brother Bjorn
has set his heart against me.

376
00:26:52,653 --> 00:26:53,905
He feels...

377
00:26:54,906 --> 00:26:57,158
Betrayed.
I understand that.

378
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,620
But what can I do?
It was not of my doing.

379
00:27:00,703 --> 00:27:02,872
And for the time being,
it is not easy for me

380
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,415
to grant you those lands again.

381
00:27:04,498 --> 00:27:05,958
Many are against it.

382
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:08,169
So what are we supposed to do?

383
00:27:08,252 --> 00:27:09,253
A concilium.

384
00:27:10,087 --> 00:27:12,798
You could publicly renounce
your pagan gods,

385
00:27:12,882 --> 00:27:15,551
and be baptized as a Christian.

386
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:20,056
Can't imagine Bjorn
would ever agree to that.

387
00:27:21,223 --> 00:27:23,392
I'm not talking about Bjorn,

388
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,937
but about you.

389
00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:45,539
You do that for me, Ubbe,

390
00:27:45,623 --> 00:27:47,708
and a part of
my burden is lifted.

391
00:27:48,292 --> 00:27:50,252
Ragnar talked to me
when I was a boy,

392
00:27:50,336 --> 00:27:52,838
and he talked about
your people, my people,

393
00:27:52,922 --> 00:27:54,674
sharing the land.

394
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:58,052
And I think that,
of all his sons,

395
00:27:58,135 --> 00:27:59,929
you are the closest to him.

396
00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:02,807
He told my grandfather

397
00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:05,559
that he no longer
believed in your gods.

398
00:28:07,395 --> 00:28:08,688
That is not true.

399
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:11,148
My grandfather
told me everything.

400
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:14,443
He wanted to prepare me
for times such as this.

401
00:28:14,694 --> 00:28:17,196
And he loved your father.
I know that.

402
00:28:17,321 --> 00:28:20,658
Your father's death broke him,
destroyed him.

403
00:28:32,586 --> 00:28:33,963
I will need time

404
00:28:34,505 --> 00:28:36,298
to think about
what you have told me.

405
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:56,777
What's wrong with you?

406
00:28:57,236 --> 00:28:58,487
"Wrong," Mother?

407
00:28:58,821 --> 00:29:02,867
Have you nothing to say
to your wife-to-be?

408
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:06,412
God knows, the poor girl
must feel abandoned,

409
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:08,456
grievously neglected.

410
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:10,374
I'm sorry.

411
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:13,044
Don't apologize to me.

412
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:18,007
Just speak to her.

413
00:29:18,382 --> 00:29:19,925
Apologize to her.

414
00:29:20,009 --> 00:29:23,471
At least pretend
to be interested.

415
00:29:25,473 --> 00:29:27,808
Mother. you have no idea...
No!

416
00:29:28,017 --> 00:29:30,936
I understand more than
you will ever know.

417
00:29:31,062 --> 00:29:35,524
And I refuse to let you
feel sorry for yourself.

418
00:29:35,608 --> 00:29:38,110
You are a king!

419
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:43,115
Start behaving like one.

420
00:29:59,173 --> 00:30:00,758
I am with child.

421
00:30:01,717 --> 00:30:02,718
What?

422
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:04,637
I am with child.

423
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:17,691
With my...

424
00:30:17,775 --> 00:30:19,276
With your child, Ivar.

425
00:30:28,369 --> 00:30:29,578
I love you.

426
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:32,998
I love you.

427
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:24,383
What are you going
to do with her?

428
00:31:24,884 --> 00:31:25,885
Hmm'?

429
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:27,469
Margrethe?

430
00:31:28,345 --> 00:31:29,638
She's insane.

431
00:31:30,681 --> 00:31:32,558
She is going to kill all of us.

432
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:34,059
Don't worry, Ivar.

433
00:31:34,685 --> 00:31:36,061
She won't kill you.

434
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:41,567
Why are you still here?

435
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:43,903
Hmm'?

436
00:31:45,195 --> 00:31:47,823
What? There's no reason
for you to stay here.

437
00:31:48,741 --> 00:31:52,119
Unless you plan to kill me and
make yourself King of Kattegat.

438
00:31:52,202 --> 00:31:54,163
No, I don't want to do that.

439
00:31:54,705 --> 00:31:56,123
I don't want the...

440
00:31:56,916 --> 00:31:58,042
The mess.

441
00:31:58,125 --> 00:31:59,501
Then why do you stay?

442
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:03,797
I'm not going to stay.

443
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:05,591
Believe me.

444
00:32:05,841 --> 00:32:08,135
I have made new plans
on raiding England.

445
00:32:08,469 --> 00:32:10,220
All the others
are raiding there.

446
00:32:10,888 --> 00:32:12,598
I don't want to miss out.

447
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,019
Well, that fits perfectly.

448
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:20,230
My wife Freydis
is already with child.

449
00:32:25,152 --> 00:32:26,737
Congratulations.

450
00:32:28,072 --> 00:32:29,573
That business doesn't

451
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:31,617
always work out so well.

452
00:33:03,607 --> 00:33:04,775
Margrethe?

453
00:33:24,294 --> 00:33:25,337
Hi-

454
00:33:28,173 --> 00:33:29,466
I saw her,

455
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,552
the Queen of Kattegat.

456
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:33,554
Freydis, I saw her.

457
00:33:34,555 --> 00:33:36,724
They say she is with child.
Yes.

458
00:33:37,016 --> 00:33:38,684
I cannot have children.

459
00:33:39,727 --> 00:33:40,894
Not with anyone.

460
00:33:40,978 --> 00:33:43,313
Knowing that has broken my head.

461
00:33:43,897 --> 00:33:47,192
I wanted to be queen,
but Ubbe was a coward!

462
00:33:47,276 --> 00:33:48,569
I don't think so.

463
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:51,572
I told him not to fight
for Lagertha and Bjorn.

464
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:55,617
He ignored me, and betrayed me
with that bitch, Torvi.

465
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:02,082
But you are kind.

466
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:03,584
Listen...
You listen.

467
00:34:03,834 --> 00:34:05,461
Ivar is not kind.

468
00:34:06,045 --> 00:34:07,629
He is not kind to you.

469
00:34:08,464 --> 00:34:10,591
In the end, he will kill you.

470
00:34:11,759 --> 00:34:14,845
So the only choice, my love,
is to kill him first.

471
00:34:15,345 --> 00:34:17,097
You are not a coward, are you?

472
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:18,682
No.

473
00:34:18,766 --> 00:34:20,059
I thought not.

474
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:23,687
So, if you kill Ivar,

475
00:34:24,229 --> 00:34:25,981
then I will be queen,

476
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,275
and everything
will be all right.

477
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:31,070
Don't let me down.

478
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,863
You have to do it.

479
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:35,741
And don't think I'm mad.
I'm not mad.

480
00:34:35,824 --> 00:34:38,118
No, no, no,
you're not mad. Here.

481
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:43,207
You are just...
You're just tired.

482
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:46,251
You need to rest.

483
00:34:46,627 --> 00:34:49,546
What is wrong with me?
Nothing's wrong with you.

484
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:55,427
Sleep, sweet Margrethe.

485
00:34:57,346 --> 00:34:58,555
I'll see you soon.

486
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:05,437
<i>Sleep</i>

487
00:35:05,521 --> 00:35:07,773
<i>Sleep, my son</i>

488
00:35:08,065 --> 00:35:11,443
<i>The seals are asleep in the sea</i>

489
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:16,490
<i>The swan on the breaker</i>

490
00:35:16,573 --> 00:35:19,827
<i>Seagull on the hill</i>

491
00:35:20,327 --> 00:35:27,000
<i>The cod in the deep water</i>

492
00:36:33,609 --> 00:36:35,110
I'm sorry I've neglected you.

493
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:38,655
Sire, please, don't
concern yourself with me.

494
00:36:38,906 --> 00:36:41,491
It is my fault that I have not
found the time to talk to you,

495
00:36:41,575 --> 00:36:42,659
get to know you better.

496
00:36:44,161 --> 00:36:45,537
We're supposed to be married.

497
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:47,789
Do you want to marry me?

498
00:36:47,873 --> 00:36:50,417
I... I hardly know.

499
00:36:51,460 --> 00:36:53,629
Look, I promise
I will get to know you better,

500
00:36:54,213 --> 00:36:56,256
but for the moment...
I know.

501
00:36:57,007 --> 00:36:59,218
You have more
important things to do.

502
00:37:01,678 --> 00:37:03,222
I'll see you later.

503
00:37:04,598 --> 00:37:05,891
Sire.

504
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:13,857
He is not kind.
Leave me alone.

505
00:37:14,316 --> 00:37:15,943
I can have my own thoughts.

506
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:18,153
If you insist.

507
00:37:38,215 --> 00:37:39,800
You're Bjorn Ironside.

508
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:42,094
Lam.

509
00:37:42,636 --> 00:37:43,971
Go away.

510
00:37:44,346 --> 00:37:45,764
If you want.

511
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:15,836
What are you doing?

512
00:38:47,117 --> 00:38:48,577
And you saw them kissing?

513
00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:50,120
Yes, Your Grace.

514
00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:53,457
And then, fornicating together?

515
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:54,791
Yes, Your Grace.

516
00:38:55,417 --> 00:38:57,002
Making the beast with two backs.

517
00:38:58,211 --> 00:38:59,504
Poor Heahmund.

518
00:39:00,464 --> 00:39:02,883
He was a man who could never
control his passions,

519
00:39:03,342 --> 00:39:05,218
and now, his passions
will destroy him.

520
00:39:07,137 --> 00:39:09,514
But first, for the love I owe
him, I will write to him.

521
00:39:10,474 --> 00:39:12,476
Better for all of us
he understands that

522
00:39:13,310 --> 00:39:15,520
he can never again
be prince of the Church.

523
00:39:41,296 --> 00:39:42,547
I shouldn't be here.

524
00:39:43,048 --> 00:39:44,216
Why not?

525
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:46,259
God will punish me.

526
00:39:47,427 --> 00:39:49,346
My gods won't punish you.

527
00:40:12,702 --> 00:40:14,371
I'm a virgin.

528
00:40:37,227 --> 00:40:38,436
Who are you?

529
00:40:41,064 --> 00:40:42,691
Why don't you go away?

530
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:04,296
Don't kill me.

531
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:06,464
<i>Hove Nat.</i>

532
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:10,260
It's not worth killing me,
I'm harmless!

533
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,888
I married him out of regret.

534
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,194
<i>To my Lord Heahmund,
brother in Christ,</i>

535
00:41:27,611 --> 00:41:30,363
<i>I write this day
with a most heavy heart,</i>

536
00:41:30,697 --> 00:41:33,283
<i>having indisputable proof that,</i>

537
00:41:33,366 --> 00:41:36,745
<i>rather than observe your vows
of celibacy, you fornicate,</i>

538
00:41:36,828 --> 00:41:38,246
<i>almost daily.</i>

539
00:41:39,247 --> 00:41:43,376
<i>And not with Christian women, but,
so it appears, with a pagan woman.</i>

540
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,129
<i>Thus, your sins are multiplied.</i>

541
00:41:46,296 --> 00:41:49,883
<i>And your king and master
must learn the truth.</i>

542
00:41:50,217 --> 00:41:51,343
<i>Cuthred.</i>

543
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,232
HEAHMUND1Hyah! Hyah!

544
00:42:12,614 --> 00:42:13,949
My Lord Heahmund.

545
00:42:15,242 --> 00:42:16,826
What has brought you here?

546
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,876
You know, we must show respect

547
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,128
in this most sacred
of all places.

548
00:42:27,337 --> 00:42:30,715
You have forced me
to it, Lord Cuthred.

549
00:42:31,174 --> 00:42:34,177
You have forced me
by your hypocrisy,

550
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:37,472
by your danger to my king.

551
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:40,392
Even so, Heahmund, draw back.

552
00:42:40,767 --> 00:42:43,270
Do not commit a crime
in the eyes of the Lord.

553
00:42:43,478 --> 00:42:44,688
Do not damn yourself.

554
00:42:44,771 --> 00:42:48,441
You are a most
troublesome priest.

555
00:42:50,694 --> 00:42:52,195
A hollow man.

556
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:55,490
And you have no true faith.

557
00:43:03,707 --> 00:43:04,916
Damn you!

558
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,543
Damn you to hell!

559
00:43:25,103 --> 00:43:26,354
Heahmund,

560
00:43:26,438 --> 00:43:29,816
this is hell.
The world will end.

561
00:43:29,899 --> 00:43:32,402
No, just your world.

562
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:12,025
Amen.
