1
00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:02,724
[Ragnar] Last season
on Vikings...

2
00:00:02,757 --> 00:00:04,659
Our country's in grave danger.

3
00:00:04,693 --> 00:00:05,927
[Erik] The Rus are coming.

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,097
Harald is King of all Norway.
You have to reach out to him.

5
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:11,466
You have no idea
what you are facing.
The end of everything.

6
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:14,136
People always say
it's the end
of everything.

7
00:00:14,169 --> 00:00:15,637
But they don't usually mean it.

8
00:00:17,206 --> 00:00:20,375
Othere, meet Ubbe,
the son of Ragnar Lothbrok.

9
00:00:20,409 --> 00:00:23,678
I was sailing west.
The sun rose behind me.

10
00:00:23,712 --> 00:00:25,514
And I saw a golden land.

11
00:00:25,547 --> 00:00:26,648
To the Golden Land.

12
00:00:26,681 --> 00:00:28,550
I am with child,

13
00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:30,552
and I am married
to a demigod,
as are you.

14
00:00:30,585 --> 00:00:32,887
-I will make you
Queen of all Norway.
-[Ingrid] We have just met

15
00:00:32,921 --> 00:00:34,789
and already you want me
to betray my husband.

16
00:00:34,823 --> 00:00:36,825
-I want you now.
-[groaning]

17
00:00:36,858 --> 00:00:38,860
We cannot control our fate.
We must accept it.

18
00:00:39,861 --> 00:00:41,263
[crying] My baby.

19
00:00:42,664 --> 00:00:45,234
[Bjorn] The Rus will attack
from the sea.

20
00:00:45,267 --> 00:00:49,338
We will bring these smaller
barges, transfer our warriors
into them and storm the beach.

21
00:00:51,573 --> 00:00:52,907
Charge!

22
00:00:52,941 --> 00:00:54,109
Loose.

23
00:00:55,277 --> 00:00:56,845
Stand up and fight!

24
00:00:56,878 --> 00:00:58,813
How are we to repel
such a huge force?

25
00:00:58,847 --> 00:01:00,682
[Bjorn] We will block
the entrance leading
into the fjord

26
00:01:00,715 --> 00:01:02,384
and we will lay a boom across
the mouth of the river.

27
00:01:02,417 --> 00:01:04,085
[all grunting]

28
00:01:07,222 --> 00:01:08,857
[Ivar] That river leads
into the mountains.

29
00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:11,860
It's a formidable obstacle,
but we shall climb it.

30
00:01:11,893 --> 00:01:13,061
[grunting]

31
00:01:17,065 --> 00:01:18,133
[all grunting]

32
00:01:19,268 --> 00:01:20,602
Forward!

33
00:01:20,635 --> 00:01:22,036
I will defeat you.

34
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:23,438
There is no way you can win.

35
00:01:25,006 --> 00:01:27,108
Save yourself, skogarmaor.

36
00:01:28,210 --> 00:01:29,844
[grunting]

37
00:01:29,878 --> 00:01:32,247
The gods abandoned you
a long time ago, my brother.

38
00:01:41,823 --> 00:01:43,258
[inaudible]

39
00:01:45,827 --> 00:01:48,497
["If I Had A Heart" playing]

40
00:02:40,815 --> 00:02:42,651
[somber instrumental
music playing]

41
00:03:20,021 --> 00:03:21,790
Here's to victory, my friends!

42
00:03:21,823 --> 00:03:24,659
[crowd cheering]

43
00:03:24,693 --> 00:03:27,529
The battle of Norway
is not over yet.

44
00:03:27,562 --> 00:03:29,664
They have only retreated...

45
00:03:29,698 --> 00:03:32,501
and probably back
to their fortress
at Kattegat.

46
00:03:33,835 --> 00:03:36,070
But probably
without their talisman.

47
00:03:36,104 --> 00:03:38,707
Their hero. Their leader.

48
00:03:40,241 --> 00:03:42,076
They say you
killed him yourself.

49
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:43,745
Mmm.

50
00:03:43,778 --> 00:03:47,248
I cannot be completely sure
that Bjorn was dead.

51
00:03:47,282 --> 00:03:48,783
It's not possible
to kill Bjorn.

52
00:03:53,688 --> 00:03:55,256
I saw him,
getting carried off

53
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:56,725
the battlefield
with my own eyes.

54
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:01,262
But you cannot say
that he was still alive?

55
00:04:01,296 --> 00:04:04,132
[Hvitserk] Uh, no.
No, I cannot.

56
00:04:07,436 --> 00:04:08,937
[Ivar] So,

57
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:10,605
when do we leave for Kattegat?

58
00:04:12,774 --> 00:04:16,044
As soon as we have
repaired our ships.

59
00:04:16,077 --> 00:04:18,347
This business must be finished.

60
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:21,115
I confess, we lost
more warriors in the battle

61
00:04:22,216 --> 00:04:23,585
than I had expected.

62
00:04:25,887 --> 00:04:27,889
You Vikings fight hard.

63
00:04:28,823 --> 00:04:30,058
[door opens]

64
00:04:35,664 --> 00:04:36,998
[chains clanking]

65
00:04:37,632 --> 00:04:39,801
[groans]

66
00:04:39,834 --> 00:04:41,135
[Oleg] Who are these prisoners?

67
00:04:42,571 --> 00:04:47,442
This is King Olaf,
once the ruler here.

68
00:04:47,476 --> 00:04:50,111
And this is King Harald.
King of all of Norway!

69
00:04:51,112 --> 00:04:52,614
Is all that true?

70
00:04:53,915 --> 00:04:55,016
[breathing heavily]

71
00:04:57,586 --> 00:04:58,587
Yes.

72
00:04:59,354 --> 00:05:01,322
Alas to say.

73
00:05:03,825 --> 00:05:05,093
You cast your net...

74
00:05:07,128 --> 00:05:08,997
And when you hauled it in,

75
00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:11,265
you found that
you have caught both

76
00:05:11,299 --> 00:05:13,902
the King and the Joker.

77
00:05:13,935 --> 00:05:17,105
King Olaf's jokes
were never,
never my taste.

78
00:05:17,138 --> 00:05:21,410
Oh! I thought
we got on famously,

79
00:05:21,443 --> 00:05:25,447
Hvitserk, son of Ragnar.

80
00:05:27,849 --> 00:05:29,484
Well, do you remember me?

81
00:05:30,685 --> 00:05:33,688
I too am Ragnar's son.

82
00:05:33,722 --> 00:05:36,024
Oh, I know who you are...

83
00:05:37,191 --> 00:05:40,194
Ivar, the Boneless.

84
00:05:40,228 --> 00:05:41,295
[chuckles]

85
00:05:41,329 --> 00:05:44,332
From the sewers of York

86
00:05:44,365 --> 00:05:46,868
to the Silk Roads, your...

87
00:05:46,901 --> 00:05:51,139
your name is legendary.

88
00:05:51,172 --> 00:05:52,441
[Oleg] The question is...

89
00:05:53,408 --> 00:05:55,477
what to do with you both?

90
00:05:58,012 --> 00:05:59,180
In what ways

91
00:06:00,181 --> 00:06:01,716
can you possibly...

92
00:06:03,251 --> 00:06:04,653
be useful to me?

93
00:06:06,488 --> 00:06:09,591
I have no intention
of being useful to you.

94
00:06:13,094 --> 00:06:15,964
I won't bargain for my life.

95
00:06:15,997 --> 00:06:19,267
For a Viking,
that would be demeaning.

96
00:06:21,102 --> 00:06:23,004
To us, death is bliss...

97
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:26,207
and I rush to bleed.

98
00:06:29,878 --> 00:06:31,513
And what about you?

99
00:06:31,546 --> 00:06:34,949
Oh, I, uh, I'm not in a rush.

100
00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:37,686
[chuckles]

101
00:06:44,593 --> 00:06:46,027
[grim music playing]

102
00:07:40,148 --> 00:07:41,650
The Rus
will be here soon.

103
00:07:55,664 --> 00:07:57,966
[indistinct chatter]

104
00:07:57,999 --> 00:08:00,735
[Ubbe] Spring is here at last.

105
00:08:00,769 --> 00:08:04,205
We should begin
our preparations
to sail west.

106
00:08:04,238 --> 00:08:06,140
Our preparations
for our journey.

107
00:08:06,174 --> 00:08:08,409
[Othere] Oh, yes.

108
00:08:08,442 --> 00:08:12,013
I'm ready to put my house
in order and submit myself
to the elements again.

109
00:08:13,514 --> 00:08:14,849
And what about you, Ketill?

110
00:08:15,717 --> 00:08:17,351
Will you come with us?

111
00:08:17,385 --> 00:08:21,790
I plan to sail with two ships,
and about 40 people.

112
00:08:21,823 --> 00:08:24,225
That means some of the settlers
will have to come with us.

113
00:08:25,359 --> 00:08:26,695
I have made a recent habit

114
00:08:26,728 --> 00:08:28,663
of confession.

115
00:08:31,065 --> 00:08:32,266
I have told everyone

116
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:33,201
that will listen

117
00:08:33,234 --> 00:08:34,268
that I want to be

118
00:08:34,302 --> 00:08:35,236
King of Iceland.

119
00:08:36,605 --> 00:08:37,939
I know.

120
00:08:37,972 --> 00:08:39,941
I can see...

121
00:08:39,974 --> 00:08:42,777
that this Icelandic
settlement will grow,

122
00:08:42,811 --> 00:08:47,448
become rich, attract all manner
of new settlers.

123
00:08:47,481 --> 00:08:49,317
To be King of such a place...

124
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:52,854
it would be
an extraordinary achievement

125
00:08:52,887 --> 00:08:54,689
for a simple fellow like me.

126
00:08:54,723 --> 00:08:55,924
So, you won't come?

127
00:08:57,391 --> 00:09:00,161
You won't sacrifice
your ambitions?

128
00:09:00,194 --> 00:09:02,664
No. I won't sacrifice
my ambitions.

129
00:09:05,934 --> 00:09:07,501
But they can wait.

130
00:09:11,205 --> 00:09:13,675
Then it is decided.

131
00:09:13,708 --> 00:09:15,509
Let the settlers choose
amongst themselves

132
00:09:15,543 --> 00:09:16,878
who will come with us.

133
00:09:18,847 --> 00:09:21,683
And may the gods guide us
to the Golden Land.

134
00:09:27,455 --> 00:09:29,457
[somber music playing]

135
00:10:13,101 --> 00:10:14,268
[wheezes]

136
00:10:17,739 --> 00:10:19,107
[mumbling]

137
00:10:24,913 --> 00:10:26,314
[mumbling]

138
00:10:36,791 --> 00:10:38,626
[door opens]

139
00:10:46,835 --> 00:10:48,469
[Oleg] I have
some good news...

140
00:10:48,502 --> 00:10:49,971
and some bad news.

141
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:54,508
The good news is...

142
00:10:54,542 --> 00:10:56,610
I have decided
to spare your life...

143
00:10:58,479 --> 00:11:01,215
King Harald.

144
00:11:03,151 --> 00:11:04,285
[chuckles]

145
00:11:05,619 --> 00:11:08,189
The bad news is
your life is over...

146
00:11:09,390 --> 00:11:10,491
King Olaf.

147
00:11:14,062 --> 00:11:16,197
You are a King
without a kingdom.

148
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,001
What use is that to anyone?

149
00:11:34,648 --> 00:11:36,717
I might have made
a different decision.

150
00:11:40,922 --> 00:11:42,323
But then you don't have...

151
00:11:43,424 --> 00:11:47,996
the power, do you, Ivar?

152
00:12:03,044 --> 00:12:04,212
[door shuts]

153
00:12:04,245 --> 00:12:05,713
You lucky bastard.

154
00:12:06,781 --> 00:12:07,882
[breathing heavily]

155
00:12:08,783 --> 00:12:10,785
[exhales] I know.

156
00:12:14,088 --> 00:12:15,756
[Ingrid sniffling]

157
00:12:17,425 --> 00:12:18,459
[Bjorn wheezing]

158
00:12:20,962 --> 00:12:21,896
Ingrid.

159
00:12:25,466 --> 00:12:26,367
Come here.

160
00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:28,937
Come.

161
00:12:46,420 --> 00:12:48,422
[Gunnhild] Why are you
being so pathetic?

162
00:12:50,258 --> 00:12:51,592
It's not just Bjorn.

163
00:12:53,594 --> 00:12:54,628
Then what?

164
00:12:57,265 --> 00:12:58,599
King Harald raped me.

165
00:13:01,035 --> 00:13:02,470
[breathes deeply]

166
00:13:06,074 --> 00:13:07,641
[Gunnhild] If I ever
get the chance,

167
00:13:08,843 --> 00:13:10,278
I will cut his throat.

168
00:13:14,115 --> 00:13:15,416
But it is not likely.

169
00:13:16,918 --> 00:13:19,187
You and I will die here,
alongside our husband.

170
00:13:20,989 --> 00:13:23,925
And if you fight well
and bravely enough,

171
00:13:23,958 --> 00:13:25,793
we shall meet again afterwards.

172
00:13:28,129 --> 00:13:30,231
[sighs]

173
00:13:30,264 --> 00:13:33,935
I told Bjorn I would bring him
luck and good fortune.

174
00:13:35,669 --> 00:13:39,941
Instead, I have brought him
pain and ruin.

175
00:13:43,211 --> 00:13:45,313
You are not a god, Ingrid.

176
00:13:47,615 --> 00:13:49,183
Just another human being.

177
00:13:51,552 --> 00:13:53,121
All you could ever give Bjorn

178
00:13:53,154 --> 00:13:55,189
was what you could hold
in the palm of your hand.

179
00:13:59,527 --> 00:14:01,395
You give me such courage.

180
00:14:03,197 --> 00:14:04,232
Thank you.

181
00:14:06,334 --> 00:14:07,201
Come.

182
00:14:13,507 --> 00:14:14,675
Go to sleep.

183
00:14:16,210 --> 00:14:17,545
Don't be afraid.

184
00:14:25,419 --> 00:14:26,754
[wheezing continues]

185
00:14:47,341 --> 00:14:49,177
There is someone beside me.

186
00:14:51,612 --> 00:14:53,681
[Oleg] There is no one
beside you.

187
00:14:53,714 --> 00:14:55,183
You are all alone.

188
00:14:55,216 --> 00:14:57,851
No. There is someone beside me.

189
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,155
Although I cannot see him,

190
00:15:02,556 --> 00:15:04,825
I know he is here.

191
00:15:04,858 --> 00:15:07,996
How do you know, you old fool?

192
00:15:08,029 --> 00:15:11,132
Because he speaks to me.

193
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,102
I hear his voice.

194
00:15:14,135 --> 00:15:15,503
And what does he say?

195
00:15:15,536 --> 00:15:19,773
He says, "He who
believes in Me,

196
00:15:19,807 --> 00:15:23,677
"though he may die,
he shall live.

197
00:15:23,711 --> 00:15:27,615
"I am the resurrection
and the life.

198
00:15:27,648 --> 00:15:29,950
"I shall walk beside you.

199
00:15:31,652 --> 00:15:34,788
"Always. Always."

200
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:38,492
Don't listen to him.
Get on with it.

201
00:15:51,739 --> 00:15:53,341
Don't be afraid.

202
00:15:55,909 --> 00:15:57,211
I can't.

203
00:15:57,245 --> 00:16:00,181
Think of me as already dead.

204
00:16:01,315 --> 00:16:03,451
Nothing more can hurt me.

205
00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:07,321
Not the thunder,

206
00:16:07,355 --> 00:16:09,857
nor the deep swell
of the waves,

207
00:16:10,924 --> 00:16:14,762
nor yet, the tongues of fire.

208
00:16:15,463 --> 00:16:16,664
[inhales sharply]

209
00:16:28,209 --> 00:16:29,577
I'm sorry.

210
00:16:29,610 --> 00:16:31,112
[King Olaf] Don't be.

211
00:16:31,145 --> 00:16:33,147
My lands are in order.

212
00:16:34,115 --> 00:16:38,552
And I am ripe for heaven.

213
00:17:49,022 --> 00:17:50,124
[grunting]

214
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:58,266
[breathing deeply]

215
00:18:02,503 --> 00:18:03,671
How?

216
00:18:08,409 --> 00:18:11,845
How did King Harald
escape? Hmm?

217
00:18:11,879 --> 00:18:13,381
[dramatic music playing]

218
00:18:37,004 --> 00:18:38,472
[indistinct chatter]

219
00:18:40,808 --> 00:18:42,943
[Ketill] These are the settlers
and their families

220
00:18:42,976 --> 00:18:45,946
who have agreed
to journey with us.

221
00:18:45,979 --> 00:18:49,016
That's good.
That is good.
Thank you.

222
00:18:50,083 --> 00:18:52,253
Thank all of you!

223
00:18:52,286 --> 00:18:55,923
I am certain that you
will not regret this decision.

224
00:18:55,956 --> 00:19:00,127
I am pleased to say my wife,
Ingvild, will come with us.

225
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,029
And my beloved son, Frodi.

226
00:19:02,796 --> 00:19:04,965
Ingvild, Frodi.

227
00:19:04,998 --> 00:19:07,535
I am so happy you have made
a decision to come with us.

228
00:19:08,469 --> 00:19:09,770
You are true Vikings.

229
00:19:11,272 --> 00:19:13,841
You are all true Vikings.

230
00:19:13,874 --> 00:19:15,409
[crowd] Yes!

231
00:19:15,443 --> 00:19:17,110
Come! Eat, drink, celebrate!

232
00:19:20,481 --> 00:19:22,616
We should make
some sacrifice to the gods,

233
00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:24,452
so they may prosper our voyage.

234
00:19:24,485 --> 00:19:25,853
[crowd] Yes!

235
00:19:28,021 --> 00:19:29,390
What do you say, Othere?

236
00:19:31,158 --> 00:19:33,827
You must do
what your gods expect.

237
00:19:33,861 --> 00:19:37,865
My God expects nothing more
than my prayers and my belief
in His presence.

238
00:19:38,832 --> 00:19:40,634
But your God is invisible.

239
00:19:40,668 --> 00:19:42,670
Our gods,
they are all around us.

240
00:19:42,703 --> 00:19:44,338
-They are here right now.
-[goat bleats]

241
00:19:45,639 --> 00:19:47,174
I do not think he is a god.

242
00:19:47,741 --> 00:19:49,710
[laughs]

243
00:19:49,743 --> 00:19:53,814
God is everywhere
and in everything.

244
00:19:53,847 --> 00:19:57,851
Without Him, nothing is.

245
00:19:58,919 --> 00:20:01,054
I believe in the Allfather.

246
00:20:01,088 --> 00:20:03,190
The father of all gods.

247
00:20:03,223 --> 00:20:06,159
And I believe that your god,
he recognizes the Allfather.

248
00:20:07,828 --> 00:20:10,531
I remember all
the ceremonies in Wessex.

249
00:20:10,564 --> 00:20:12,966
And in all those ceremonies

250
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,571
your Christ reaches out
and prays to the Holy Father...

251
00:20:18,406 --> 00:20:19,707
Allfather.

252
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:24,745
I know that your divine
Father and mine,

253
00:20:24,778 --> 00:20:26,179
they're one and the same.

254
00:20:50,871 --> 00:20:52,440
[door creaking]

255
00:20:52,473 --> 00:20:53,774
[footsteps approaching]

256
00:20:58,379 --> 00:21:00,213
[Gunnhild] King Hakon!

257
00:21:00,247 --> 00:21:03,183
How glad and thankful
we are to see you
at such a time.

258
00:21:03,216 --> 00:21:05,218
Messengers reached me.

259
00:21:05,252 --> 00:21:07,621
I was summoned in the name
of Bjorn Ironside.

260
00:21:07,655 --> 00:21:11,759
And when you are summoned
by a son of Ragnar Lothbrok,
then you come.

261
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,762
I heard news of the Rus attack

262
00:21:14,795 --> 00:21:17,465
and the defeat
of King Harald Finehair.

263
00:21:17,498 --> 00:21:20,468
I hope I am not too late to
help Bjorn defend Kattegat.

264
00:21:20,501 --> 00:21:23,937
We cannot defend Kattegat.

265
00:21:23,971 --> 00:21:27,441
Not unless more
of Norway's rulers
answer his summons!

266
00:21:28,842 --> 00:21:30,043
But even so...

267
00:21:30,077 --> 00:21:32,980
Even so... What is it?

268
00:21:37,117 --> 00:21:38,419
[wheezing]

269
00:21:41,021 --> 00:21:45,058
[softly] You must forgive me
for not rising to welcome you,
King Hakon.

270
00:21:45,092 --> 00:21:47,428
I... I didn't know...

271
00:21:48,796 --> 00:21:49,963
I was wounded.

272
00:21:52,433 --> 00:21:55,168
The most important thing
is that, when the Rus attack...

273
00:21:56,003 --> 00:21:57,838
[breathing heavily]

274
00:21:57,871 --> 00:22:00,173
we have ways to repel them.

275
00:22:00,207 --> 00:22:02,142
How large is their army?

276
00:22:02,175 --> 00:22:03,944
[Bjorn] Their army is vast.

277
00:22:05,045 --> 00:22:06,346
[breathing deeply]

278
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,682
And Ivar is with them.

279
00:22:10,951 --> 00:22:12,019
Of course, he is.

280
00:22:13,554 --> 00:22:15,188
We will make plans.

281
00:22:17,525 --> 00:22:22,295
It will not be so simple
and easy to defeat us.

282
00:22:24,732 --> 00:22:26,634
We need you.

283
00:22:26,667 --> 00:22:29,336
We need you to live.
To lead us.

284
00:22:29,369 --> 00:22:32,372
Your name alone is worth
100 warriors.

285
00:22:32,406 --> 00:22:34,374
No, 1,000 warriors.

286
00:22:36,877 --> 00:22:40,380
Please, for the love of Odin,

287
00:22:43,150 --> 00:22:44,618
don't leave us.

288
00:22:44,652 --> 00:22:45,853
[dramatic music playing]

289
00:22:50,991 --> 00:22:53,827
[drums beating rhythmically]

290
00:22:56,997 --> 00:22:58,766
-[Rus captain] Stay in line!
-[horse neighing]

291
00:23:13,947 --> 00:23:16,083
Oleg will make me
a King of Norway,

292
00:23:16,116 --> 00:23:18,118
perhaps King
of all Scandinavia.

293
00:23:20,588 --> 00:23:22,289
But it will only be in name.

294
00:23:23,791 --> 00:23:25,258
I won't really be King.

295
00:23:25,292 --> 00:23:28,028
Oleg will have
all of the power.

296
00:23:28,061 --> 00:23:31,665
Just as he has always had
all of the power over you,

297
00:23:31,699 --> 00:23:35,335
even though you are the heir
to the whole Rus Empire.

298
00:23:35,368 --> 00:23:36,937
That is how it is.

299
00:23:36,970 --> 00:23:38,872
But how can we change it?

300
00:23:38,906 --> 00:23:43,043
Things are as they are.
The world is as it is.

301
00:23:44,211 --> 00:23:45,412
No.

302
00:23:48,048 --> 00:23:50,684
Nothing is ever permanent.

303
00:23:50,718 --> 00:23:53,186
Everything is always changing.

304
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:54,755
Shifting.

305
00:23:54,788 --> 00:23:57,525
What is real today
might not be real tomorrow.

306
00:23:57,558 --> 00:24:02,395
But sometimes,
we have to help it to shift.

307
00:24:02,429 --> 00:24:07,400
But how?
Oleg is so powerful.

308
00:24:07,434 --> 00:24:11,038
[Oleg] We must assess
the battlefield,
it's most important.

309
00:24:11,071 --> 00:24:14,742
We will make common cause
with our friend Dir.

310
00:24:14,775 --> 00:24:16,376
[Rus captain at a distance]
Yes, I will see to it at once.

311
00:24:16,409 --> 00:24:18,546
We will have the forces
sufficient enough

312
00:24:18,579 --> 00:24:20,113
to overthrow Prince Oleg.

313
00:24:20,147 --> 00:24:22,249
[Oleg] I want my soldiers
to have every advantage.

314
00:24:22,282 --> 00:24:26,486
But only if the conditions
are right.

315
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,889
Only if we have people
that we can trust

316
00:24:28,922 --> 00:24:30,791
close to the throne.

317
00:24:30,824 --> 00:24:33,493
-[Igor] But who can we trust?
-[Rus captain] Eyes forward!

318
00:24:35,996 --> 00:24:38,065
Oleg is watching us.

319
00:24:38,098 --> 00:24:39,166
[Rus captain] Stay in line!

320
00:24:43,303 --> 00:24:44,271
Keep forward!

321
00:24:47,107 --> 00:24:48,308
[Bjorn gasps]

322
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:51,378
[grunts and wheezes]

323
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,287
[breathing heavily]

324
00:25:01,855 --> 00:25:03,691
I think you may be with child.

325
00:25:06,627 --> 00:25:08,195
I have lost two children,

326
00:25:10,197 --> 00:25:11,965
and a third I hardly know.

327
00:25:16,837 --> 00:25:19,372
I fear I will not live
to see our child.

328
00:25:20,507 --> 00:25:24,344
Just as I will never be able

329
00:25:24,377 --> 00:25:27,581
to make amends
for all my mistakes now.

330
00:25:29,082 --> 00:25:30,818
All the wrongs I have done.

331
00:25:34,154 --> 00:25:36,223
All the hurt I have caused.

332
00:25:39,827 --> 00:25:43,296
I wish
with all my heart... [gasps]

333
00:25:43,330 --> 00:25:45,599
I could go back,
and start again.

334
00:25:49,336 --> 00:25:51,772
[Ingrid] You have loved
and been loved.

335
00:25:54,507 --> 00:25:56,409
Accept the judgement
of the gods.

336
00:26:02,916 --> 00:26:03,951
[sobs]

337
00:26:06,219 --> 00:26:08,121
My heart is breaking.

338
00:26:18,265 --> 00:26:19,432
What are you hiding?

339
00:26:19,466 --> 00:26:21,401
[scoffs] Hiding?

340
00:26:22,803 --> 00:26:25,038
Yes.

341
00:26:25,072 --> 00:26:28,942
Ketill said that Floki left
before you went on your voyage

342
00:26:28,976 --> 00:26:30,711
but that is not true.

343
00:26:30,744 --> 00:26:32,245
Floki gave you his ring.

344
00:26:36,616 --> 00:26:39,119
Perhaps you should ask Ketill
what happened.

345
00:26:39,152 --> 00:26:40,487
I am not asking Ketill.

346
00:26:42,489 --> 00:26:44,457
I think that you will tell me
the truth...

347
00:26:45,292 --> 00:26:47,695
if your God is watching.

348
00:26:47,728 --> 00:26:49,062
[woman 1] Indeed. Oh!

349
00:26:50,798 --> 00:26:52,599
Come. Let's come back later,
shall we?

350
00:26:57,137 --> 00:27:00,407
The other family,
Eyvind's family.

351
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,042
Is it something
to do with them?

352
00:27:05,779 --> 00:27:08,749
How can we travel together
if we do not trust each other?

353
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:15,756
[sighs] Ketill and his son...

354
00:27:16,990 --> 00:27:18,591
[Eyvind] Please!

355
00:27:18,625 --> 00:27:21,061
[Othere] ...killed Eyvind
and his whole family

356
00:27:21,094 --> 00:27:22,763
in cold blood.

357
00:27:22,796 --> 00:27:24,998
[Eyvind] Don't kill anyone!

358
00:27:25,032 --> 00:27:28,368
[Othere] And Ketill
had a beautiful,
wise daughter called Aud

359
00:27:29,602 --> 00:27:31,504
who killed herself...

360
00:27:31,538 --> 00:27:33,473
-No!
-...because she could not live

361
00:27:33,506 --> 00:27:35,442
knowing what her father
had done.

362
00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:40,948
She loved him
for being a good man.

363
00:27:40,981 --> 00:27:43,683
Now, all she saw was a monster.

364
00:27:46,319 --> 00:27:47,687
Do you think he is a monster?

365
00:27:49,022 --> 00:27:51,024
[somber music playing]

366
00:28:27,928 --> 00:28:29,529
[breathing heavily]

367
00:28:29,562 --> 00:28:30,563
Oh.

368
00:28:39,873 --> 00:28:41,374
[dog barking]

369
00:28:44,244 --> 00:28:45,445
[wheezing]

370
00:28:49,850 --> 00:28:50,784
They are here.

371
00:28:53,420 --> 00:28:56,023
The Rus.

372
00:28:56,056 --> 00:28:58,959
Our scouts have spotted them.
They are coming over-ground.

373
00:29:00,961 --> 00:29:02,896
They will soon
arrive at Kattegat.

374
00:29:04,131 --> 00:29:06,166
You have prepared?

375
00:29:06,199 --> 00:29:09,036
[Erik] I have done everything
I possibly could.

376
00:29:09,069 --> 00:29:11,338
The arrival of King Hakon
and his forces

377
00:29:11,371 --> 00:29:15,075
have helped but we are still
massively outnumbered.

378
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,449
I suppose we can only hope
to delay their final victory.

379
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:25,418
So, you have just given up?

380
00:29:28,155 --> 00:29:30,991
There is no use
in pretending.

381
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,295
The situation is bad.

382
00:29:37,730 --> 00:29:40,333
Made worse
because you will not be there

383
00:29:40,367 --> 00:29:42,903
-to lead any attack...
-Shh.

384
00:29:54,281 --> 00:29:55,815
Have you forgotten the gods?

385
00:29:56,749 --> 00:29:58,751
What is my name or yours,

386
00:29:58,785 --> 00:30:01,288
compared to that
of Odin and Thor?

387
00:30:01,321 --> 00:30:04,124
Do you suppose
they will just sit idly by

388
00:30:04,157 --> 00:30:06,927
as they watch followers
of the false Christ God

389
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,761
slaughter and slay
their children,

390
00:30:08,795 --> 00:30:10,931
and cast their singing bones
to the wind?

391
00:30:11,664 --> 00:30:12,933
[chokes]

392
00:30:12,966 --> 00:30:13,967
[gasps]

393
00:30:15,135 --> 00:30:17,337
You are no true believer!

394
00:30:17,370 --> 00:30:21,241
Why don't you just walk out
of the gate, surrender?

395
00:30:21,274 --> 00:30:25,545
Is that what we have come to?
Is that how our world will end?

396
00:30:27,447 --> 00:30:28,448
[groans]

397
00:30:30,517 --> 00:30:31,518
[gasps]

398
00:30:35,322 --> 00:30:36,990
Forgive me.

399
00:30:37,024 --> 00:30:39,026
I... I am not worthy
to be mentioned

400
00:30:39,059 --> 00:30:40,928
in the same breath as you.

401
00:30:40,961 --> 00:30:42,963
But I promise I will give you
no more cause

402
00:30:42,996 --> 00:30:44,064
to be ashamed of me.

403
00:30:50,303 --> 00:30:51,304
Forgive me.

404
00:31:05,252 --> 00:31:06,553
This is yours.

405
00:31:10,057 --> 00:31:11,191
My King.

406
00:31:16,997 --> 00:31:19,032
[somber music playing]

407
00:31:36,449 --> 00:31:38,051
[indistinct chatter]

408
00:31:46,459 --> 00:31:47,794
[speaking in native tongue]

409
00:31:53,366 --> 00:31:54,367
[in English] Sword!

410
00:31:59,206 --> 00:32:01,108
[Ivar] This is King Hakon
of Norway.

411
00:32:02,342 --> 00:32:03,776
He has something to tell you.

412
00:32:05,612 --> 00:32:06,579
Go ahead.

413
00:32:11,784 --> 00:32:13,053
They're at the gates.

414
00:32:15,989 --> 00:32:18,291
But neither of us should lie.

415
00:32:18,325 --> 00:32:19,759
You are dying, my love.

416
00:32:21,628 --> 00:32:23,096
Your life slips away.

417
00:32:25,065 --> 00:32:26,799
You can have no part in this.

418
00:32:29,736 --> 00:32:31,071
Death is on its way.

419
00:32:33,073 --> 00:32:34,007
Don't weep.

420
00:32:35,242 --> 00:32:36,909
[Gunnhild weeps]

421
00:32:41,014 --> 00:32:42,115
[wheezes]

422
00:32:49,822 --> 00:32:52,059
Listen.

423
00:32:52,092 --> 00:32:54,161
Who can tell the saga
of Bjorn Ironside?

424
00:32:55,828 --> 00:32:58,131
Perhaps only Odin,
his ancestor.

425
00:32:59,766 --> 00:33:01,768
But unworthy as I am,
it falls to me.

426
00:33:06,606 --> 00:33:10,377
Bjorn Ironside is dead.

427
00:33:25,792 --> 00:33:26,859
Are you sure?

428
00:33:28,561 --> 00:33:29,862
Yes.

429
00:33:29,896 --> 00:33:32,865
I saw the body
with my own eyes.

430
00:33:32,899 --> 00:33:34,901
His wives
are lamenting over it.

431
00:33:36,803 --> 00:33:39,772
There is great sorrow
in Kattegat.

432
00:33:39,806 --> 00:33:41,474
[Gunnhild] They say the hearts
of women are turned

433
00:33:41,508 --> 00:33:43,110
on a whirling wheel...

434
00:33:43,143 --> 00:33:44,911
but my heart belonged to him.

435
00:33:46,179 --> 00:33:48,115
And when he died,

436
00:33:48,148 --> 00:33:49,649
the High One cried aloud.

437
00:33:51,251 --> 00:33:52,552
I don't understand.

438
00:33:52,585 --> 00:33:54,053
Why have you come here
to tell us?

439
00:33:58,525 --> 00:34:01,394
Great Prince,
Invincible Ruler,

440
00:34:01,428 --> 00:34:03,496
I throw myself
upon your mercy!

441
00:34:03,530 --> 00:34:05,632
Spare me
and I will serve you gladly

442
00:34:05,665 --> 00:34:07,100
all the days of my life.

443
00:34:08,768 --> 00:34:10,737
[Gunnhild] I knew him as a man.

444
00:34:10,770 --> 00:34:14,006
I knew his weaknesses,
and I knew his strengths.

445
00:34:19,179 --> 00:34:20,780
But if you ask me,

446
00:34:23,183 --> 00:34:25,452
will we ever see
his likes again,

447
00:34:27,354 --> 00:34:28,788
I would say no.

448
00:34:43,803 --> 00:34:45,738
Farewell, Bjorn Ironside.

449
00:34:47,607 --> 00:34:48,808
Farewell.

450
00:35:04,591 --> 00:35:06,226
Look after our guest.

451
00:35:18,838 --> 00:35:21,073
[chokes]

452
00:35:26,479 --> 00:35:28,114
[Oleg] Spread the good news.

453
00:35:29,516 --> 00:35:31,150
Let everyone rejoice.

454
00:35:32,819 --> 00:35:34,487
The great hero is dead.

455
00:35:39,359 --> 00:35:41,461
Kattegat is at our mercy.

456
00:35:45,097 --> 00:35:47,200
[intense music playing]

457
00:35:55,275 --> 00:35:56,476
[speaking in native tongue]

458
00:36:22,635 --> 00:36:24,203
[continues speaking
in native tongue]

459
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,422
[in English] Perhaps we should
have made a sacrifice.

460
00:36:44,591 --> 00:36:46,893
I think a sacrifice
has already been made.

461
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:06,579
[soldiers murmuring]

462
00:37:29,436 --> 00:37:31,137
[wheezes]

463
00:37:32,872 --> 00:37:35,141
[indistinct panicked chatter]

464
00:37:53,426 --> 00:37:54,427
[speaking in native tongue]

465
00:38:16,082 --> 00:38:18,084
[gasps and wheezes]

466
00:38:51,851 --> 00:38:53,986
[Gunnhild]
I knew him as a man.

467
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:56,856
I knew his weakness
and his strength.

468
00:38:58,791 --> 00:39:01,961
But if you ask me, will we ever
see his like again...

469
00:39:04,697 --> 00:39:05,732
I would say no.

470
00:39:11,370 --> 00:39:12,705
[speaking in native tongue]

471
00:39:18,545 --> 00:39:21,481
[dramatic music playing]

472
00:39:21,514 --> 00:39:22,749
[indistinct panicked chatter]

473
00:39:26,653 --> 00:39:31,223
[in English]
I need you to help me
put my armor on one last time.

474
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,194
And fetch my sword.

475
00:39:37,263 --> 00:39:38,230
Please.

476
00:39:47,039 --> 00:39:48,340
It's impossible.

477
00:39:52,779 --> 00:39:54,847
I told you, Ivar,
you can't kill him.

478
00:39:55,748 --> 00:39:57,149
He's not a god.

479
00:39:57,183 --> 00:39:58,250
[Hvitserk] Neither are you.

480
00:41:11,624 --> 00:41:12,659
[gasps]

481
00:41:15,161 --> 00:41:16,162
[horn blows]

482
00:41:18,197 --> 00:41:20,432
[Gunnhild] And so it happened,

483
00:41:20,466 --> 00:41:22,735
as my saga will tell...

484
00:41:22,769 --> 00:41:26,438
the Kings and Queens,
the Jarls and Earls of Norway

485
00:41:26,472 --> 00:41:30,009
answered the summons
of Bjorn Ironside,

486
00:41:30,042 --> 00:41:32,945
and came to save their country.

487
00:41:32,979 --> 00:41:36,749
For he was truly
the King of all Norway,

488
00:41:36,783 --> 00:41:38,651
and no one else
could have united

489
00:41:38,685 --> 00:41:40,286
all his people

490
00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:42,388
and brought them
to victory over the Rus.

491
00:41:54,233 --> 00:41:55,467
[all shouting]

492
00:41:57,870 --> 00:41:58,838
[shouts in native tongue]

493
00:42:02,374 --> 00:42:03,275
[Ivar in English] Retreat!

494
00:42:03,309 --> 00:42:05,745
Ha! Ha! Ha!

495
00:42:12,885 --> 00:42:14,921
[groans and grunts]

496
00:42:21,393 --> 00:42:22,228
[grunting]

497
00:42:29,669 --> 00:42:32,839
[both grunting]

498
00:42:36,175 --> 00:42:37,209
[groans]

499
00:42:50,289 --> 00:42:51,590
Farewell, my brother.

500
00:42:54,026 --> 00:42:56,162
It gladdens me to know
that Odin makes ready

501
00:42:56,195 --> 00:42:57,630
the benches for a feast.

502
00:42:59,598 --> 00:43:03,936
Soon you will be drinking ale
from curved horns.

503
00:43:14,380 --> 00:43:16,115
The Valkyries summon you home.

504
00:43:24,156 --> 00:43:25,257
[Gunnhild] Even in death...

505
00:43:26,558 --> 00:43:29,461
Bjorn Ironside was victorious.

506
00:43:29,495 --> 00:43:32,899
Which is one reason his name
will never be forgotten,

507
00:43:32,932 --> 00:43:35,802
nor will they ever cease
to sing of his exploits.

508
00:43:36,836 --> 00:43:39,138
He was the son of Ragnar,

509
00:43:39,171 --> 00:43:41,473
but in some ways
even greater than Ragnar,

510
00:43:41,507 --> 00:43:43,009
as the Seer foretold.

511
00:43:49,515 --> 00:43:52,318
The man who could not die
is buried here.

512
00:43:54,353 --> 00:43:55,621
But is still alive.

513
00:44:04,163 --> 00:44:05,798
Farewell, Bjorn Ironside.

514
00:44:12,538 --> 00:44:13,672
Farewell, my love.

515
00:44:14,673 --> 00:44:15,641
Farewell.

516
00:44:20,012 --> 00:44:21,948
Until we meet again.

517
00:44:21,981 --> 00:44:24,383
[solemn music playing]
