Queen of the North

[wind blowing]
21
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:33,625
Margrete I has gathered Denmark, Norway
and Sweden into a peaceful union
22
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:39,083
which she single-handedly rules
through her adopted son, King Erik.
23
00:03:40,666 --> 00:03:48,208
For the first time in centuries, there
is peace between the Nordic countries.
24
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:51,791

[wind howling]
26
00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:17,750
[Queen]
We created the Nordic Union together.
27
00:05:19,458 --> 00:05:22,333
We agreed and created it in peace.
28
00:05:23,916 --> 00:05:27,625
How was that possible, after
hundreds of years of bloody wars?
29
00:05:29,458 --> 00:05:32,875
It was because we believed that the
people of the North are connected.
30
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:38,708
Peace, Your Majesty, we can agree on.
But now you want to assemble an army?
31
00:05:39,125 --> 00:05:40,833
[Queen Margrete]
Yes, Asle Jonsson.
32
00:05:41,333 --> 00:05:45,375
A Union Army so strong
the Germans won't dare to attack us.
33
00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:52,541
And in spring, my son, King Erik,
will be engaged
34
00:05:52,625 --> 00:05:54,666
to Princess Philippa of England.
35
00:05:56,375 --> 00:06:01,125
A Union Army will allow us to negotiate
a military alliance with England.
36
00:06:01,916 --> 00:06:04,875
No one will dare wage war against us.
37
00:06:04,958 --> 00:06:08,166
What do they ask in return?
38
00:06:09,458 --> 00:06:14,000
We don't need England.
Norway has always defended itself.
39
00:06:14,083 --> 00:06:18,375
Norwegian farmers against
German crusaders?
40
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:20,708
You'll be slaughtered.
41
00:06:21,083 --> 00:06:26,000
Mr. Sparre. We just drove the Germans
out of Stockholm
42
00:06:26,083 --> 00:06:29,416
for you, if my memory
serves me right.
43
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:34,916
As I remember it, Danish soldiers
drove the Germans out of Stockholm.
44
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,416
-[Sparre] How many troops did you send?
-You call those dirty pirates troops?
45
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:44,625
Gentlemen, please. Five years ago,
we created the Nordic Union together.
46
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:50,250
We proved that we were able
to rise above the animosity of the past.
47
00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:51,791
And think of our people.
48
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,250
We can do that again. Together.
49
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,708
An army is expensive, Your Majesty.
50
00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:08,125
Peace has made us wealthy.
We've never been more prosperous.
51
00:07:15,833 --> 00:07:17,541
We have all experienced war.
52
00:07:21,125 --> 00:07:24,958
The brutality and destruction.
53
00:07:29,958 --> 00:07:31,583
In war, there are no winners.
54
00:07:32,833 --> 00:07:36,041
A Union Army will ensure peace.
55
00:07:42,041 --> 00:07:46,875
I will finance 400 soldiers
and the Church will provide 800.
56
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,791
What does the Norwegian Council say?
57
00:07:56,625 --> 00:07:58,291
[Queen]
What does the Swedish Council say?
58
00:08:01,375 --> 00:08:02,666
[Queen]
The Danish?
59
00:08:12,375 --> 00:08:15,208
300 infantry, 50 cavalrymen,
100 archers.
60
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:17,541
[Sparre]
For peace.
61
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:24,500
I can arm
100 infantry and 20 cavalrymen.
62
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,958
[somber music]
63
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:35,000
200 infantry, 150 archers.
64
00:08:36,958 --> 00:08:38,125
[Jens]
For the Union.
65
00:08:46,625 --> 00:08:48,833
100 archers, 150 infantry.
66
00:08:51,541 --> 00:08:54,250
150 infantry.
67
00:08:56,458 --> 00:08:59,541
-[man 1] 100 archers.
-[man 2] 250 archers.
68
00:08:59,625 --> 00:09:00,791
[man 3]
200 infantry.

[indistinct chatter]
74
00:09:51,375 --> 00:09:56,166
Kullen in Scania
Denmark
75
00:10:05,708 --> 00:10:09,458
-Greetings, my Queen.
-Thank you, Roar.
76
00:10:09,958 --> 00:10:14,750
-I've brought the King with me.
-Greetings to you too, young King.
77
00:10:15,333 --> 00:10:19,500
-You've had a lucrative spring, I see.
-I can't complain.
78
00:10:19,583 --> 00:10:22,333
Nor can I, as long as
you stick to German ships.
79
00:10:22,958 --> 00:10:27,541
-A deal is a deal.
-I want to make a new deal.
80
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:32,916
Visby. I want no ships travelling
to and from Gotland unscathed.
81
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,833
-Especially the Germans.
-You want to close off Gotland?
82
00:10:37,208 --> 00:10:39,541
Yes, to keep the Germans out.
83
00:10:43,791 --> 00:10:45,541
[Queen]
You've taken female captives?
84
00:10:47,083 --> 00:10:49,541
[Roar]
The winter nights are long and cold.
85
00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:54,791
-She's coming with me.
-Pardon?
86
00:10:55,166 --> 00:10:59,250
Need I remind you of the Union's laws?
It's forbidden to rape women.
87
00:11:00,458 --> 00:11:01,833
The punishment is hanging.
88
00:11:04,125 --> 00:11:05,541
That applies to pirates, too.
89
00:11:09,791 --> 00:11:11,291
Fetch her.
90
00:11:16,416 --> 00:11:17,708
Where does she come from?
91
00:11:18,041 --> 00:11:19,916
You'll have to ask the Germans.
92
00:11:21,041 --> 00:11:24,625
[Roar] She's Swedish,
but we found her aboard their ship.
93
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:28,791
I'll take the girl,
and you'll seal off Gotland.
94
00:11:30,291 --> 00:11:31,875
Right away, my Queen.
95
00:11:33,208 --> 00:11:37,666
Roar? See if you can find a woman
who obliges out of her own free will.
96
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:41,750
-It's very arousing, I've heard.
-Huh...
97
00:11:44,166 --> 00:11:48,500
[dramatic music]
98
00:12:00,791 --> 00:12:03,166
[indistinct chatter]
99
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,625
-You're safe here.
-You can come with me.
100
00:12:29,333 --> 00:12:30,416
[door slams]
101
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:36,166
-[Queen] God's grace to you, Peder.
-My Queen.
102
00:12:43,833 --> 00:12:45,291
That's a lot of soldiers.
103
00:12:47,458 --> 00:12:50,458
-And the Swedes gave the most?
-Yes. They were skeptical, as always.
104
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:55,416
But Sparre is a smart man.
He rules his people well.
105
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,166
We owe Sparre a debt of gratitude.
106
00:13:03,958 --> 00:13:06,875
I wish you had come with me
and seen all that I have seen.
107
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:10,541
Everything is growing.
108
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,708
Towns are flourishing. There is peace.
109
00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:16,083
Think of all you've achieved.
110
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:20,458
We, Peder.
We did it together.
111
00:13:21,833 --> 00:13:23,875
Only you could have created the Union.
112
00:13:24,833 --> 00:13:29,083
But you had faith
when everyone else doubted me.
113
00:13:31,875 --> 00:13:34,333
Without your loans, they'd be right.
114
00:13:34,416 --> 00:13:38,416
We would have gone bankrupt
before I could unify anything at all.
115
00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:40,250
Yes...
116
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:43,958
And remember, you still owe me.
117
00:13:44,666 --> 00:13:46,333
You don't give me a chance to forget.
118
00:13:46,416 --> 00:13:47,750
[chuckles]
119
00:13:47,833 --> 00:13:49,208
[laughs]
120
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:57,416
Kalmar, Sweden
three months later
121
00:14:13,666 --> 00:14:17,125
Where is Asle?
The head of Norway's Council?
122
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,291
I haven't seen him.
123
00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:24,000
[trumpet fanfare]
124
00:14:28,666 --> 00:14:30,625

[man] Princess Philippa of England
with entourage.
126
00:14:35,541 --> 00:14:36,375
[door opens]
127
00:14:59,625 --> 00:15:03,750
What an honor it is to stand before
the famed Queen of the Nordic Union.
128
00:15:03,833 --> 00:15:06,958
The honor is ours entirely,
good Sir Bourcier.
129
00:15:07,875 --> 00:15:09,708
The King speaks a beautiful English.
130
00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:19,125
To all doting princes and noble knights,
may you be armed with courage.
131
00:15:19,208 --> 00:15:22,958
And to those who dedicate themselves
to love, all goodwill.
132
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:27,208
And to all lovers learned in this art,
here and elsewhere
133
00:15:27,291 --> 00:15:29,791
to whom courage spreads.
134
00:15:29,875 --> 00:15:32,833
To all ladies of good standing
and beloved demoiselles
135
00:15:32,916 --> 00:15:36,041
to all honorable women,
wise, polite, agreeable
136
00:15:36,125 --> 00:15:40,875
I offer a humble recommendation of
loyal, true intention.
137
00:15:42,291 --> 00:15:43,875
[applause]
138
00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:49,875
[silence]
139
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,333
What a lovely poem.
140
00:16:00,583 --> 00:16:01,583
[soft kiss]
141
00:16:03,041 --> 00:16:04,041
[festive music]
142
00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:08,958
[people chattering and laughing]
143
00:16:23,708 --> 00:16:24,541
Cheers!
144
00:16:28,166 --> 00:16:29,208
[chattering]
145
00:16:36,416 --> 00:16:37,291
Astrid?
146
00:16:46,125 --> 00:16:47,375
Look at Raberlin.
147
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,666
[Erik]
Our German trade envoy.
148
00:16:52,416 --> 00:16:54,916
His wine glass is still full.
What does that mean?
149
00:16:59,041 --> 00:17:00,500
[Erik]
It means the man is at work.
150
00:17:03,041 --> 00:17:04,375
So we keep our eyes open.
151
00:17:15,625 --> 00:17:17,375
[Bourcier]
Splendid ball, My Queen.
152
00:17:18,083 --> 00:17:19,416
Very exotic indeed.
153
00:17:20,083 --> 00:17:20,916
Yes.
154
00:17:36,541 --> 00:17:37,708
Astrid?
155
00:17:40,666 --> 00:17:41,875
[Erik]
I was just wondering...
156
00:17:43,875 --> 00:17:45,083
You're Swedish, right?
157
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:50,750
It doesn't matter where we come from.
158
00:17:50,833 --> 00:17:53,500
We're all God's dandelion seeds,
carried off by the wind
159
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,916
until we land on foreign fields.
160
00:17:59,958 --> 00:18:01,583
And bloom.
161
00:18:26,250 --> 00:18:27,541
-Sparre!
-[Sparre] My King.
162
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:31,250
-[chuckles]
-What a celebration!
163
00:18:33,791 --> 00:18:35,625
Now you're to be engaged with England?
164
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:40,250
We've got to scare the Germans
out of our back garden.
165
00:18:41,041 --> 00:18:44,541
Since the Swedish Council can't manage,
we've got to step in.
166
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:47,166
Let's not spoil the party with politics.
167
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,333
I presume Your Majesty has other
commitments this evening.
168
00:18:56,916 --> 00:18:57,833
Your Majesty.
169
00:18:59,166 --> 00:19:03,250
Why is the head of Norway's Council
late to the King's engagement ball?
170
00:19:03,333 --> 00:19:05,916
My apologies.
I came straight from Graudenz.
171
00:19:10,125 --> 00:19:11,666
[Peder]
Go ahead, Asle.
172
00:19:13,916 --> 00:19:15,500
I met a man there.
173
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,041
-A Norwegian.
-A Norwegian in Graudenz?
174
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,041
It was Oluf. King Oluf.
175
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:30,833
-My son?
-Yes.
176
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:40,583
-Asle, my son is dead.
-Your Majesty, I saw him.
177
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:44,083
[Peder]
Oluf died 15 years ago.
178
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:47,750
I saw my King. Oluf is alive.
179
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:52,833
-[Peder] Where is this man?
-I brought him with me.
180
00:19:54,583 --> 00:19:58,750
-Is he here?
-No, at the inn in Smedby with my men.
181
00:20:00,916 --> 00:20:04,583
-Who knows of this?
-[Asle] Only you and my men.
182
00:20:06,458 --> 00:20:11,958
Do you think it's a coincidence that
this man appears tonight of all nights?
183
00:20:12,041 --> 00:20:16,791
-All I know is that my King is alive.
-You're being used as a pawn.
184
00:20:17,375 --> 00:20:20,000
By the Teutonic Order,
in an attack against us.
185
00:20:23,416 --> 00:20:26,416
I stand here with eyes open,
baring my heart.
186
00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:28,166
[door opens]
187
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,833
-[Queen] Yes, Malin?
-Your Majesty, the dance is beginning.
188
00:20:34,958 --> 00:20:36,041
I'm coming.
189
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:41,291
-If you saw him, you'd understand...
-Asle.
190
00:20:43,416 --> 00:20:46,541
-Bring him. I'll see him tomorrow.
-Your Majesty.
191
00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:49,458
But don't mention this to anyone.
192
00:20:49,541 --> 00:20:52,333
-Your lips are sealed.
-Of course.
193
00:20:52,916 --> 00:20:56,708
-Allow me to get rid of the man.
-We can't ignore Asle's request.
194
00:20:56,791 --> 00:20:59,750
Norway has just pledged more than
1,000 men to the Union Army.
195
00:21:00,958 --> 00:21:04,708
-I fear this will get out of hand.
-I'm not afraid of anything.
196
00:21:05,291 --> 00:21:07,166
[festive music]
197
00:21:38,666 --> 00:21:40,166
[festive music]
198
00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:52,125
There's rumors your son Oluf
has appeared in Prussia.
199
00:21:52,208 --> 00:21:53,208
Are they true?
200
00:21:54,666 --> 00:21:56,916
Excuse me for asking,
but who told you this?
201
00:21:58,458 --> 00:22:00,041
Frankly, everyone is talking about it.
202
00:22:05,166 --> 00:22:07,291
[muffled chatter]
203
00:22:10,208 --> 00:22:11,750
[dramatic music]
204
00:22:13,583 --> 00:22:15,500
[festive music]
205
00:22:16,166 --> 00:22:17,958
Surely you don't listen to gossip.
206
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,625
[fire whooshes]
207
00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:26,375
[loud thuds]
208
00:22:27,375 --> 00:22:29,000
[Malin]
Eat now. It will be a long night.
209
00:22:30,541 --> 00:22:35,333
-People claim it's her real son?
-Her only son, who died. King Oluf.
210
00:22:36,833 --> 00:22:41,583
-The Queen's only son? She has Erik.
-He's adopted. From Pomerania.
211
00:22:42,625 --> 00:22:44,000
He's her sister's grandson.
212
00:22:46,583 --> 00:22:47,458
Look down.
213
00:22:49,791 --> 00:22:53,750
We've had plenty of whores.
They get sent packing. Eat.
214
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,875
-Rumor says she killed Oluf herself.
-Her own son? Why?
215
00:23:01,916 --> 00:23:04,875
Power. He grew up
and wanted to be in charge.
216
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:08,583
But she would never do that.
The Queen isn't like that.
217
00:23:12,458 --> 00:23:15,250
[Bourcier] Poor man, turned around
and run after the girl.
218
00:23:15,333 --> 00:23:16,416
-[laughs]
-[loud thuds]
219
00:23:17,666 --> 00:23:18,583
[man shouts]
220
00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:20,666
Thank you. Excuse me.
221
00:23:21,583 --> 00:23:26,958
Honorable Queen, permit
a humble servant to ask a question.
222
00:23:27,875 --> 00:23:28,916
Of course.
223
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:33,750
Any news on the events in Graudenz?
224
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:40,041
-Which events, dear Elvar?
-The ones everyone is speaking of.
225
00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:45,125
That our dear deceased King Oluf
is not in fact dead.
226
00:23:59,458 --> 00:24:02,250
I can assure you
that my son Oluf is dead.
227
00:24:03,916 --> 00:24:09,791
A Prussian man claiming to be my son
is treason against the Union.
228
00:24:09,875 --> 00:24:11,708
Is it true that he's here now?
229
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,000
He's on his way.
230
00:24:20,666 --> 00:24:24,291
He will receive a fair trial,
as the Union's rules state.
231
00:24:24,875 --> 00:24:29,666
Everyone is welcome tomorrow.
But let us not waste more time.
232
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:32,666
Let's celebrate my son
King Erik's engagement. Cheers!
233
00:24:33,125 --> 00:24:34,458
[loud cheers]
234
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:36,500
[indistinct chattering]
235
00:24:41,333 --> 00:24:43,416
A virelai, please!
236
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:52,375
-A public hearing?
-Everyone knows. I have no choice.
237
00:24:52,791 --> 00:24:55,500
-What's going on?
-Someone is out to get us.
238
00:24:56,333 --> 00:24:58,250
They don't know who they're up against.
239
00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:07,958
Ask Jacob to keep
an eye on Raberlin.
240
00:25:16,375 --> 00:25:18,375
It appears Your Majesty
has her hands full.
241
00:25:18,958 --> 00:25:20,166
Always.
242
00:25:22,916 --> 00:25:24,750
-It's late.
-Your Majesty.
243
00:25:27,083 --> 00:25:29,583
Allow me to escort you
to the Queen's chambers.
244
00:25:30,708 --> 00:25:34,041
It would be the perfect inclusion
to an already unforgettable night.
245
00:25:39,625 --> 00:25:45,083
If you escort me to my chambers tonight
I will be regarded as a whore.
246
00:25:45,916 --> 00:25:46,750
The Queen says,
247
00:25:46,833 --> 00:25:50,583
if you escort her to her chambers,
she will be seen as whore by sunrise.
248
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:54,833
Or a witch
who copulates with the Devil Himself.
249
00:25:55,375 --> 00:25:59,041
Or a witch
who copulates with the Devil Himself.
250
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:11,208
I look forward to starting
our negotiations, dear Bourcier.
251
00:26:15,208 --> 00:26:16,583
[silence]
252
00:26:28,416 --> 00:26:31,000
As for the dowry,
I believe you have received our offer.
253
00:26:32,083 --> 00:26:32,916
[Bourcier]
Yes.
254
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,666
And give or take one or two
minor exceptions, it seems acceptable.
255
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:38,500
Acceptable? That's splendid.
256
00:26:38,583 --> 00:26:40,583
We have reservations obviously.
257
00:26:40,666 --> 00:26:44,375
But all in all, when it comes to
the financial aspects we're very flexible.
258
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:46,500
[Peder]
You are flexible.
259
00:26:47,166 --> 00:26:50,666
And in return, I believe you need
us to be flexible in other aspects?
260
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:52,541
Well... [chuckles]
261
00:26:53,208 --> 00:26:54,458
[Queen]
Let's not play games.
262
00:26:55,458 --> 00:26:58,375
You have an agenda beyond money
and property for your King.
263
00:26:58,833 --> 00:27:00,375
Go on, you can tell me.
264
00:27:00,458 --> 00:27:01,666
Maybe Your Majesty is right.
265
00:27:02,333 --> 00:27:05,041
But I do sense that she too
has an agenda of her own.
266
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:07,458
Very well.
267
00:27:08,625 --> 00:27:11,333
We want a military alliance
with England.
268
00:27:11,416 --> 00:27:14,958
If England is attacked,
we step up immediately and vice versa.
269
00:27:15,541 --> 00:27:16,541
That's negotiable.
270
00:27:16,791 --> 00:27:18,166
Now tell me what you want.
271
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,375
My King wants hereditary rights
for his daughter.
272
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:23,000
-Absolutely not.
-[Bourcier] Excuse me?
273
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:26,833
I will not be compromising
the future of the Nordic Dynasty.
274
00:27:27,416 --> 00:27:30,125
If King Eric, god forbid, falls ill
275
00:27:30,208 --> 00:27:34,708
I will under no circumstances hand over
the Nordic Union to the King of England.
276
00:27:37,208 --> 00:27:38,208
[inhales]
277
00:27:39,083 --> 00:27:40,083
[sighs]
278
00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:42,166
That's not a very respectful response.
279
00:27:42,875 --> 00:27:45,083
It's not a very respectful proposal.
280
00:27:48,291 --> 00:27:51,041
I'm sorry but these negotiations
will be very difficult
281
00:27:51,125 --> 00:27:53,666
if we don't get anything in return
for a military alliance.
282
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:55,375
We will return the favor.
283
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,458
We will return it in abundance.
284
00:28:00,375 --> 00:28:02,333
-Trust me.
-Trust?
285
00:28:03,250 --> 00:28:04,541
That's quite a word just now.
286
00:28:05,125 --> 00:28:06,333
What do you mean?
287
00:28:06,416 --> 00:28:07,375
[Bourcier scoffs]
288
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:10,333
Here we are negotiating
the marriage of a king
289
00:28:10,416 --> 00:28:13,250
whose predecessor might
suddenly still be alive.
290
00:28:15,083 --> 00:28:16,958
That you don't need to worry about.
291
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:19,583
King Erik is unchallenged.
292
00:28:20,416 --> 00:28:22,041
Not if you ask the Norwegians.
293
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:27,541
Well, I don't.
294
00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:32,375
[waves breaking]
295
00:28:32,458 --> 00:28:33,833
[seagulls squawking]
296
00:28:43,250 --> 00:28:48,458
The German man and the head
of Norway's Council, Asle Jonsson.
297
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:10,666
[door slams]
298
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:32,750
[Peder]
Gentlemen, welcome to Kalmar.
299
00:29:41,791 --> 00:29:43,208
[Peder]
Permit me to ask your name.
300
00:29:48,541 --> 00:29:50,000
You know it.
301
00:29:58,375 --> 00:29:59,458
[Peder]
And you are?
302
00:30:01,458 --> 00:30:03,791
I am King Oluf Håkonsen.
303
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,208
[Peder] Please repeat that
with your hand on the Holy Bible
304
00:30:16,291 --> 00:30:18,541
in the name and hearing
of God the Almighty.
305
00:30:21,125 --> 00:30:22,250
[Peder]
What is your name?
306
00:30:24,541 --> 00:30:27,416
I am King Oluf Håkonsen.
307
00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:32,958
Your Majesty.
308
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,458
Do you recognize this man?
309
00:30:46,416 --> 00:30:47,541
Is this your son?
310
00:30:55,166 --> 00:30:57,625
My son died in 1387.
311
00:31:00,166 --> 00:31:01,166
Your Majesty.
312
00:31:03,041 --> 00:31:04,625
It is my King
I see standing there.
313
00:31:05,416 --> 00:31:07,208
[people shouting]
314
00:31:11,791 --> 00:31:13,291
[Peder]
Order!
315
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:21,916
-[Peder] Asle, sit down.
-Is the Union not merciful and just?
316
00:31:22,958 --> 00:31:25,791
[Asle] Listen before you send him
to the gallows.
317
00:31:25,875 --> 00:31:27,125
We've heard enough.
318
00:31:27,583 --> 00:31:30,083
The Queen has spoken.
A mother knows her son.
319
00:31:31,291 --> 00:31:33,458
-[Asle] Tell them about Esge Vind.
-[shushes]
320
00:31:37,791 --> 00:31:40,916
Tell them about the summer of 1387.
321
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:47,916
[stutters]
322
00:31:49,125 --> 00:31:50,458
The sun was shining.
323
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:54,916
[stuttering]
I-- I was travelling through Scania.
324
00:31:58,291 --> 00:32:00,083
The wheat fields...
325
00:32:01,791 --> 00:32:03,250
You were in Ystad...
326
00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:08,000
...trying to convince the Swedish
Council to choose me as King.
327
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,083
Do you remember?
328
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:15,041
-Tell them what happened at Falsterbo.
-[Peder] Asle. I must insist.
329
00:32:15,125 --> 00:32:19,000
I felt ill after the banquet.
I shouldn't have drunk the wine.
330
00:32:19,666 --> 00:32:24,458
My taster felt fine, but I was dizzy
and wanted to go to my room.
331
00:32:24,541 --> 00:32:27,666
-Then Esge came. Esge Vind.
-[Peder] Esge Vind?
332
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:31,791
[Oluf] Yes. He was afraid.
He had been ordered to kill me.
333
00:32:31,875 --> 00:32:37,125
[Jens] Esge Vind, who's dead and
cannot deny this absurd story?
334
00:32:37,208 --> 00:32:38,458
How convenient.
335
00:32:42,916 --> 00:32:45,000
Who ordered Esge Vind to kill you?
336
00:32:48,416 --> 00:32:49,625
[Oluf]
I don't know.
337
00:32:50,708 --> 00:32:55,000
Why are we listening to this swindler?
The Queen has spoken.
338
00:32:55,583 --> 00:33:00,541
Esge Vind was unable to kill the King,
Jens Due. So he brought him with him.
339
00:33:00,625 --> 00:33:03,250
-[Jens] Brought him where?
-I was chained...
340
00:33:04,333 --> 00:33:05,791
I was chained...
341
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:11,916
There was... a spider.
342
00:33:14,208 --> 00:33:15,125
I had a...
343
00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:20,458
Everyone's looking at me. [clears throat]
344
00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:23,458
I--
345
00:33:27,791 --> 00:33:30,166
-[Oluf] It was dark...
-[Peder] Go on.
346
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:32,416
[Oluf whimpers]
347
00:33:34,791 --> 00:33:37,916
-They were speaking German.
-[Peder] Germany?
348
00:33:38,875 --> 00:33:39,750
Yes.
349
00:33:39,833 --> 00:33:46,083
[in German] Ich bin auf einem Steinboden
aufgewacht. In einem... Kloster.
350
00:33:47,083 --> 00:33:51,166
Now he's speaking German.
You all heard it. He's German.
351
00:33:51,250 --> 00:33:53,875
I haven't spoken Norwegian
in a long time.
352
00:33:53,958 --> 00:33:56,041
The King was imprisoned
for 15 years, Jens Due.
353
00:33:56,125 --> 00:33:57,333
What is this...?
354
00:33:58,416 --> 00:34:01,208
You must remember who I am! Or what?
355
00:34:01,291 --> 00:34:06,666
-Quite the dramatic flair, I must say.
-Look at him. Listen to him.
356
00:34:06,750 --> 00:34:09,375
-You know who I am!
-I've heard enough from that swindler.
357
00:34:09,458 --> 00:34:15,541
Careful, Jens Due. In front of you sits
the Queen and there is King Oluf.
358
00:34:15,625 --> 00:34:20,583
The only true King is sitting
on that throne right there!
359
00:34:20,666 --> 00:34:23,791
[Oluf] Who is he?
Tell me.
360
00:34:24,708 --> 00:34:26,041
Who is sitting on my throne?
361
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:29,791
[yells]
Who are you?
362
00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:37,416
[Queen]
You were captured, you say.
363
00:34:38,958 --> 00:34:40,416
How did you get away?
364
00:34:42,875 --> 00:34:46,250
A man came. He freed me.
365
00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:47,625
What man?
366
00:34:49,916 --> 00:34:50,958
[grunts]
367
00:34:52,416 --> 00:34:54,666
It was dark...
368
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,458
I don't know.
369
00:34:58,541 --> 00:34:59,958
[Oluf]
He disappeared.
370
00:35:13,250 --> 00:35:15,625
The man disappeared.
Then what did you do?
371
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:22,708
I was... I was dropped...
I was dropped off at an inn.
372
00:35:23,708 --> 00:35:26,041
That was how I found my King.
373
00:35:36,125 --> 00:35:37,958
The hearing will continue tomorrow.
374
00:35:50,208 --> 00:35:51,625
Why didn't you sentence him?
375
00:35:52,750 --> 00:35:56,583
A king doesn't leave his throne room
like a sulking child.
376
00:35:56,666 --> 00:36:00,583
-He claims he's the King.
-I need to get to the bottom of this.
377
00:36:00,666 --> 00:36:05,000
-Do that after he's been hanged.
-His presence alone stirs chaos.
378
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:12,958
May we be alone?
379
00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:16,750
-Mother...
-That wasn't a question.
380
00:36:22,041 --> 00:36:24,250
[door opens and closes]
381
00:36:24,625 --> 00:36:30,375
-Since when do you contradict me?
-Our negotiations are at stake.
382
00:36:30,458 --> 00:36:35,666
We aren't tyrants. We won't hang a man
whose identity we don't know.
383
00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:41,500
-Still, we need to think of the Union.
-That's what I'm doing.
384
00:36:41,583 --> 00:36:45,250
I have to find out who our enemy is
before we kill our only witness.
385
00:36:51,916 --> 00:36:55,083
[Queen] I was in Ystad. Remember?
He was so close.
386
00:36:56,875 --> 00:36:59,250
But I rode on.
I never saw him dead.
387
00:37:02,750 --> 00:37:07,500
You had to move on.
We needed to assemble the Council.
388
00:37:07,583 --> 00:37:11,916
The nation needed a regent.
Otherwise, it would all collapse.
389
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,291
But I never saw him.
390
00:37:14,458 --> 00:37:20,083
You could have stepped down, with your
dead son, and watched it all crumble.
391
00:37:22,416 --> 00:37:23,416
[sighs]
392
00:37:28,666 --> 00:37:30,666
You gave him a beautiful burial.
393
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,916
Yes.
394
00:37:47,375 --> 00:37:49,875
-Everything all right, Your Majesty?
-Yes, Sparre.
395
00:37:51,250 --> 00:37:54,125
-Did you enjoy the performance?
-No, I had enough.
396
00:37:55,458 --> 00:37:56,833
Too much talk for my taste.
397
00:37:58,708 --> 00:38:00,208
[horse neighs in the distance]
398
00:38:00,666 --> 00:38:04,250
[man] The carriage is ready.
The chest will be loaded now.
399
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,250
[indistinct chatter]
400
00:38:10,708 --> 00:38:11,625
Oh, no.
401
00:38:12,875 --> 00:38:15,083
Maybe we should just let him go.
Let things settle.
402
00:38:16,458 --> 00:38:18,166
-Is everything in order?
-Yes sir.
403
00:38:20,041 --> 00:38:21,625
[thuds and clangs]
404
00:38:21,708 --> 00:38:24,625
-William, my dear sir.
-Your Majesty.
405
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,333
I think we ought to postpone
our negotiations
406
00:38:28,416 --> 00:38:29,958
until you have your dynasty in order.
407
00:38:31,041 --> 00:38:32,041
Don't leave.
408
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:36,250
I cannot expose the princess to this mess.
409
00:38:36,333 --> 00:38:37,583
Let alone her father.
410
00:38:38,666 --> 00:38:41,708
[Queen] Naturally, I will express my
gratitude generously
411
00:38:41,791 --> 00:38:43,291
if only you would stay a few days.
412
00:38:44,541 --> 00:38:46,416
If you need land, we'll find it.
413
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,166
If you need money, we'll pay it.
414
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:53,291
You will not regret it
if you stay, dear sir.
415
00:39:03,125 --> 00:39:04,166
Five days.
416
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,875
May God bless you, Bourcier.
417
00:39:08,958 --> 00:39:09,958
We'll see.
418
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:13,583
[unintelligible]
419
00:39:13,666 --> 00:39:15,583
[chattering]
420
00:39:16,583 --> 00:39:17,625
[Queen]
Erik!
421
00:39:18,833 --> 00:39:22,916
I know it's hectic,
but you don't need to worry.
422
00:39:23,625 --> 00:39:25,583
-I promise you--
-[Jacob] Your Majesty.
423
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,083
Raberlin has gone.
424
00:39:30,750 --> 00:39:31,750
He's gone?
425
00:39:33,833 --> 00:39:35,041
To Germany.
426
00:39:42,375 --> 00:39:46,500
You have to go. Find out
what Raberlin knows about this.
427
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:50,541
-Find Roar.
-Roar?
428
00:39:50,625 --> 00:39:56,083
-The pirate. Bring him along.
-The pirate? Roar the pirate?
429
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:59,875
You're going to Germany.
You'll need him, Jacob.
430
00:40:01,541 --> 00:40:03,416
[dramatic music]
431
00:40:04,583 --> 00:40:06,250
Raberlin has gone.
432
00:40:08,041 --> 00:40:11,000
-Is he behind all this?
-Not on his own.
433
00:40:11,083 --> 00:40:13,166
-With the Germans?
-Perhaps.
434
00:40:20,166 --> 00:40:21,958
[dogs barking, indistinct chatter]
435
00:40:27,041 --> 00:40:28,375
[laughing in the distance]
436
00:40:36,125 --> 00:40:37,541
[horse neighs]
437
00:40:40,791 --> 00:40:45,041
-[Roar] Good evening. Are you lost?
-I wish I were.
438
00:40:51,791 --> 00:40:54,416
-What does it say?
-Can't you read?
439
00:41:01,791 --> 00:41:07,208
Your Queen asked me to bring you
to Germany to find a German traitor.
440
00:41:09,916 --> 00:41:12,875
-Us two?
-I'm afraid so.
441
00:41:12,958 --> 00:41:14,750
I'm not going to bloody Germany.
442
00:41:15,333 --> 00:41:16,458
[horse neighs]
443
00:41:17,541 --> 00:41:20,791
Then you are defying your Queen,
and I will kill you.
444
00:41:23,875 --> 00:41:26,791
You're planning to ride straight
into the Teutonic Order?
445
00:41:28,208 --> 00:41:31,000
For what? To be hanged?
446
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:32,291
For my Queen.
447
00:41:35,250 --> 00:41:38,000
It's a long ride.
Can a pirate's ass handle it?
448
00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:42,250
I guess we'll see.
449
00:41:42,791 --> 00:41:44,166
[horse neighs]
450
00:41:47,708 --> 00:41:49,041
[dramatic music]
451
00:41:52,875 --> 00:41:54,166
[music stops]
452
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:55,625
[footsteps approaching]
453
00:42:05,250 --> 00:42:08,750
-Astrid?
-Yes, Your Majesty?
454
00:42:09,833 --> 00:42:13,750
-Have you settled in?
-Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you.
455
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:20,750
I want you to serve in the King's
chambers and tell me how he's doing.
456
00:42:30,458 --> 00:42:33,500
-You may go.
-Thank you, Your Majesty.
457
00:42:36,375 --> 00:42:39,291
-Goodnight.
-Sleep well, Your Majesty.
458
00:43:27,041 --> 00:43:28,541
[distant chatter]
459
00:43:54,708 --> 00:43:55,708
[moans]
460
00:43:56,708 --> 00:43:57,833
[moans and gasps]
461
00:44:04,250 --> 00:44:07,791
[whimpers and groans]
462
00:44:19,791 --> 00:44:20,791
[door creaks]
463
00:44:22,208 --> 00:44:23,625
[door closes]
464
00:44:26,083 --> 00:44:28,541
-[Astrid] Pardon me.
-No, stay.
465
00:44:38,041 --> 00:44:41,125
[Erik] "Like dandelion seeds,
carried off by the wind..."
466
00:44:42,125 --> 00:44:43,458
I guess I was a bit...
467
00:44:45,125 --> 00:44:47,041
poetic that evening.
468
00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:50,833
And drunk.
469
00:44:54,666 --> 00:44:55,833
But you're right.
470
00:45:00,250 --> 00:45:01,750
Both of us were brought here.
471
00:45:16,500 --> 00:45:18,000
I'm from Pomerania.
472
00:45:19,625 --> 00:45:20,833
My name was Bugislav.
473
00:45:22,666 --> 00:45:27,250
But when my mother brought me here,
she named me Erik
474
00:45:28,291 --> 00:45:31,791
so the Swedes would love me
and make me their King.
475
00:45:36,041 --> 00:45:36,875
Funny, isn't it?
476
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:55,458
[soft music]
477
00:46:29,541 --> 00:46:31,083
Won't you eat with me?
478
00:46:34,083 --> 00:46:35,750
[wind blowing]
479
00:46:44,583 --> 00:46:45,875
[bell rings]
480
00:46:47,541 --> 00:46:48,541
[bell rings]
481
00:47:12,541 --> 00:47:14,208
[somber music]
482
00:47:22,208 --> 00:47:24,375
[music intensifies]
483
00:47:30,666 --> 00:47:34,375
-You summoned a meeting?
-I need to know what happened.
484
00:47:35,041 --> 00:47:39,125
-They already told us.
-Why didn't we discuss this first?
485
00:47:40,625 --> 00:47:42,708
-Gentlemen.
-[Jens] Your Majesty.
486
00:47:48,541 --> 00:47:53,666
-What is this about?
-You were with Oluf the day he died.
487
00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:56,041
-[priest] May he rest in peace.
-[Jens] Yes.
488
00:47:58,125 --> 00:48:01,291
I ask you to tell me
exactly what happened.
489
00:48:10,250 --> 00:48:11,333
He fell ill?
490
00:48:12,833 --> 00:48:18,166
After the banquet, he turned pale and
nearly fell over when he stood up.
491
00:48:20,166 --> 00:48:21,791
The taster felt nothing.
492
00:48:23,666 --> 00:48:26,750
-Go on.
-He got a fever and fainted.
493
00:48:27,708 --> 00:48:31,375
Two days later, Esge Vind reported
that the King was dead.
494
00:48:34,416 --> 00:48:39,541
-Who treated him those two days?
-Esge Vind's servants.
495
00:48:42,541 --> 00:48:43,791
Was a physician called?
496
00:48:47,541 --> 00:48:51,291
No? Why didn't you demand
a physician?
497
00:48:51,375 --> 00:48:55,541
The Plague, your Majesty.
We were denied access.
498
00:48:56,083 --> 00:48:57,458
It was for fear of contagion.
499
00:48:57,541 --> 00:49:02,541
-Your King was on his deathbed.
-Are you suggesting we were involved?
500
00:49:02,625 --> 00:49:06,291
I'm trying to find out what happened
the day my son died, Jens.
501
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,333
Who saw the King
before he was laid in the coffin?
502
00:49:15,416 --> 00:49:21,750
We feared the Plague, Your Majesty.
We trusted Esge Vind.
503
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:25,041
-So no one saw him dead?
-That sounds like an accusation.
504
00:49:27,583 --> 00:49:29,791
[Jens]
In the middle of an absurd situation
505
00:49:29,875 --> 00:49:34,000
caused by a mother who cannot
recognize her own child.
506
00:49:34,083 --> 00:49:35,458
I had one son.
507
00:49:37,791 --> 00:49:39,000
How many do you have?
508
00:49:40,291 --> 00:49:44,250
I doubt you can recognize all the
bastard children you've left behind.
509
00:49:46,833 --> 00:49:48,416
[suspenseful music]
510
00:50:02,541 --> 00:50:05,875
You let my son die
right in front of you.
511
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:08,791
And you did nothing.
512
00:50:15,125 --> 00:50:16,541
[swords clanking]
513
00:50:17,125 --> 00:50:17,958
[grunts]
514
00:50:21,833 --> 00:50:22,958
[sword clanks to the floor]
515
00:50:26,375 --> 00:50:27,625
[Sparre]
You're losing focus.
516
00:50:27,708 --> 00:50:31,166
-Your anger should help, not hinder you.
-One more time!
517
00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:32,666
[words clanking]
518
00:50:35,416 --> 00:50:36,958
[panting]
519
00:50:38,958 --> 00:50:39,791
[grunts]
520
00:50:39,875 --> 00:50:40,875
[Sparre laughs]
521
00:50:41,458 --> 00:50:44,708
I understand your frustration. But
surely the Queen doesn't believe him.
522
00:50:45,291 --> 00:50:47,416
-I'm her real son.
-Naturally.
523
00:50:48,666 --> 00:50:49,750
[grunts]
524
00:50:51,791 --> 00:50:54,375
-[Sparre laughs]
-Your Majesty. Sparre.
525
00:50:55,250 --> 00:50:58,125
Glad to see
the King practicing his battle skills.
526
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:02,875
-Was that all Jens Due came to say?
-I've come to express my sympathies.
527
00:51:04,541 --> 00:51:05,541
[Erik laughs]
528
00:51:06,041 --> 00:51:07,208
On what occasion?
529
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,916
The throne room. No one deserves such
humiliation, least of all a great king.
530
00:51:19,250 --> 00:51:25,125
Thanks for the sympathy, but I doubt
that's what brought you down here.
531
00:51:25,208 --> 00:51:30,250
The Queen seems obsessed with
the thought that Oluf isn't really dead.
532
00:51:31,916 --> 00:51:34,375
I suggest you leave the gossip
to the maids.
533
00:51:34,458 --> 00:51:38,791
In a way, I understand the Queen.
It's terrible to lose a child.
534
00:51:39,875 --> 00:51:42,791
Fortunately,
she quickly found a new son.
535
00:51:46,291 --> 00:51:49,291
But it must make you feel
a bit insecure.
536
00:51:50,791 --> 00:51:53,500
How easily she replaced
her true-born son.
537
00:51:54,375 --> 00:51:56,333
Couldn't she just as easily replace you?
538
00:51:57,666 --> 00:52:00,416
[ominous music]
539
00:52:05,250 --> 00:52:07,291
Should I believe my mother?
540
00:52:08,375 --> 00:52:11,250
The greatest and most pious regent
the North has ever known?
541
00:52:12,791 --> 00:52:19,208
Or a Danish nobleman known for
his greed and scheming?
542
00:52:20,625 --> 00:52:22,541
It's a difficult choice, Jens Due.
543
00:52:24,041 --> 00:52:29,208
Think about it, Your Majesty.
My offer to help remains standing.
544
00:52:39,458 --> 00:52:41,208
Anger, Your Majesty.
545
00:52:44,916 --> 00:52:46,333
Use your anger.
546
00:52:46,416 --> 00:52:49,291
My mother and Peder told me
never to trust the nobles.
547
00:52:50,791 --> 00:52:51,625
I'm a noble.
548
00:52:53,541 --> 00:52:54,375
Come on...
549
00:53:02,333 --> 00:53:05,750
When you saw Oluf,
what did you think?
550
00:53:07,166 --> 00:53:09,833
-Margrete...
-No one saw him dead.
551
00:53:12,416 --> 00:53:14,500
I know you still grieve.
552
00:53:16,125 --> 00:53:18,458
But someone
is trying to take advantage of you.
553
00:53:19,666 --> 00:53:22,500
Someone wants to obstruct
the alliance with England.
554
00:53:24,833 --> 00:53:25,916
I cannot kill him.
555
00:53:27,833 --> 00:53:28,666
[sighs]
556
00:53:31,666 --> 00:53:36,875
-We could smuggle him to Bergen.
-You just began a public hearing.
557
00:53:37,833 --> 00:53:43,416
All of Europe is watching. Wouldn't
it be suspicious if he disappeared?
558
00:53:44,500 --> 00:53:47,958
And what about the Norwegians?
What will they do? And Bourcier?
559
00:53:48,458 --> 00:53:53,333
You and Erik have the support of the
entire North. And the people's trust.
560
00:53:58,041 --> 00:53:59,750
Do you want to throw that away?
561
00:54:00,916 --> 00:54:03,458
No. But this makes me weak.
562
00:54:04,250 --> 00:54:05,166
Yes.
563
00:54:06,958 --> 00:54:12,833
Prussia
State of the Teutonic Order
564
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,666
Remember this is enemy territory.
565
00:54:25,333 --> 00:54:27,833
The horses aren't warm.
Raberlin isn't here.
566
00:54:28,875 --> 00:54:34,291
Hello, boy. Have you seen a man
in a coach pulled by two horses?
567
00:54:36,625 --> 00:54:38,666
He was probably a lone traveler.
568
00:54:40,041 --> 00:54:41,041
[men laughing]
569
00:54:43,958 --> 00:54:45,125
[indistinct chatter]
570
00:54:51,833 --> 00:54:54,333
[suspenseful music]
571
00:54:56,416 --> 00:54:59,375
[man 1] The horses are still warm.
They can't have gone far.
572
00:55:05,458 --> 00:55:09,250
[man 2] Who came on these horses?
Where are they?
573
00:55:11,833 --> 00:55:13,916
-[man 3] Who are you?
-What?
574
00:55:14,541 --> 00:55:17,333
-[man 3] Papers.
-Papers? Of course.
575
00:55:17,916 --> 00:55:19,125
[grunts]
576
00:55:19,208 --> 00:55:20,375
[horse whinnies]
577
00:55:21,416 --> 00:55:23,208
[grunts and groans]
578
00:55:39,375 --> 00:55:40,791
[pants]
579
00:55:42,708 --> 00:55:45,916
-Remember, this is enemy territory.
-Don't point that at me.
580
00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:50,291
[Jacob] So...
581
00:55:51,666 --> 00:55:53,708
Do you know
where the man was going?
582
00:56:02,666 --> 00:56:04,250
Today, at the hearing...
583
00:56:05,458 --> 00:56:09,041
If we get him to admit that he's lying
and that the Germans sent him...
584
00:56:09,541 --> 00:56:11,791
-Why would he do that?
-We'll spare his life.
585
00:56:11,875 --> 00:56:15,166
-Offer him royal protection.
-The man is a traitor.
586
00:56:15,833 --> 00:56:19,625
He will be punished.
But we'll let him live.
587
00:56:19,708 --> 00:56:23,708
I know you want to save his life.
But we cannot show weakness now.
588
00:56:24,333 --> 00:56:27,416
-It's a fair sentence.
-Do you believe he is your son?
589
00:56:31,208 --> 00:56:32,916
Is that why you don't want to kill him?
590
00:56:33,416 --> 00:56:37,208
If he admits to everyone
that he is a swindler
591
00:56:38,583 --> 00:56:43,125
there will be no doubt who is the King.
Or who should sit on that throne.
592
00:56:43,791 --> 00:56:45,041
It will be yours.
593
00:56:46,166 --> 00:56:49,125
And we can close the case peacefully.
594
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,333
Even Norway will have to back down
if he confesses.
595
00:56:54,083 --> 00:56:55,416
And what about you?
596
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:00,791
Will you find peace, too?
597
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:02,958
Yes.
598
00:57:05,958 --> 00:57:07,375
[Queen]
I will find peace, too.
599
00:57:08,333 --> 00:57:11,083
[Queen] And we can continue
our negotiations with Bourcier.
600
00:57:16,250 --> 00:57:17,791
I'll go make him the offer.
601
00:57:19,041 --> 00:57:20,250
I'm coming with you.
602
00:57:21,458 --> 00:57:23,541
Only I can grant royal protection.
603
00:57:32,083 --> 00:57:33,791
[footsteps receding]
604
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,166
Mother...
605
00:57:55,625 --> 00:57:57,083
Do you remember me?
606
00:58:01,208 --> 00:58:02,708
I cannot save you.
607
00:58:04,125 --> 00:58:05,291
But you can save yourself.
608
00:58:06,625 --> 00:58:09,791
Today, at the hearing,
you must admit that you are not King Oluf.
609
00:58:11,833 --> 00:58:15,291
Say that the Teutonic Order forced
you to make your false claims.
610
00:58:16,041 --> 00:58:17,083
And that you repent.
611
00:58:18,708 --> 00:58:21,041
-You will be sentenced.
-[Oluf clears throat]
612
00:58:21,750 --> 00:58:23,375
You will receive punishment.
613
00:58:25,125 --> 00:58:26,333
But you'll be alive.
614
00:58:28,291 --> 00:58:30,583
Once things settle,
we can lessen the sentence.
615
00:58:30,666 --> 00:58:33,458
-I'd rather you kill me.
-This is your only chance.
616
00:58:35,625 --> 00:58:38,875
I've been imprisoned for 15 years.
I know who I am.
617
00:58:39,583 --> 00:58:40,666
And I want justice.
618
00:58:45,125 --> 00:58:46,541
You cannot be my son.
619
00:58:49,041 --> 00:58:50,041
Do you understand?
620
00:58:52,583 --> 00:58:53,833
You can't come here...
621
00:58:55,416 --> 00:58:56,666
15 years later...
622
00:58:58,291 --> 00:59:00,875
claiming to be my son.
623
00:59:03,583 --> 00:59:04,958
My son is dead!
624
00:59:06,708 --> 00:59:07,833
Mother...
625
00:59:14,083 --> 00:59:17,708
[Oluf shouts]
I am King Oluf Håkonsen!
626
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:21,166
Crowned King of Norway and Denmark!
627
00:59:21,250 --> 00:59:23,125
And rightful heir to Sweden!
628
00:59:23,708 --> 00:59:25,625
I will not be caged like an animal
629
00:59:25,708 --> 00:59:30,166
by a little boy from Pomerania
sitting on my throne! You hear me?
630
00:59:30,916 --> 00:59:32,958
I will have justice!
631
00:59:33,041 --> 00:59:36,125
And all those who have defied me
will burn in hell!
632
00:59:36,208 --> 00:59:39,791
You hear me, you rat?
You will burn in hell!
633
00:59:43,083 --> 00:59:44,791
[yells]
634
00:59:54,250 --> 00:59:56,833
[wind howling]
635
01:00:20,458 --> 01:00:22,916
[whispering]
I seek your countenance.
636
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,333
[whispering]
Lord, your countenance I seek.
637
01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:33,125
Lord my God, teach my heart
where and how to seek you.
638
01:00:34,083 --> 01:00:36,000
Where and how to find you.
639
01:00:36,916 --> 01:00:41,125
Lord, if you are not present here,
where shall I look for you
640
01:00:41,708 --> 01:00:42,708
when you are not near?
641
01:00:44,125 --> 01:00:46,000
If you are everywhere...
642
01:00:47,208 --> 01:00:49,333
why then do I not see you?
643
01:00:58,083 --> 01:00:59,291
What is it?
644
01:01:00,041 --> 01:01:01,208
[Peder]
It's Erik.
645
01:01:02,625 --> 01:01:03,958
I'm worried about him.
646
01:01:05,875 --> 01:01:10,458
I worry what he might do
if we don't soon put an end to this.
647
01:01:10,541 --> 01:01:12,958
Erik is young, but he isn't stupid.
648
01:01:15,125 --> 01:01:16,458
He's impatient.
649
01:01:17,708 --> 01:01:18,583
He's hurt.
650
01:01:21,125 --> 01:01:23,083
He might take matters
into his own hands.
651
01:01:25,583 --> 01:01:26,583
Malin!
652
01:01:31,625 --> 01:01:32,708
Fetch Astrid.
653
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:53,666
[Queen]
Tell me about Erik.
654
01:01:54,333 --> 01:01:56,250
What's going on in his chambers?
655
01:01:59,416 --> 01:02:00,500
I don't know.
656
01:02:02,166 --> 01:02:03,291
Has he spoken to anyone?
657
01:02:13,791 --> 01:02:15,083
It's all right, Astrid.
658
01:02:16,541 --> 01:02:19,166
You're helping
your Queen who saved your life.
659
01:02:23,041 --> 01:02:26,666
-He spoke to Due.
-About what?
660
01:02:27,458 --> 01:02:28,750
I didn't hear everything.
661
01:02:31,458 --> 01:02:34,833
It's very important that you tell me
exactly what you heard.
662
01:02:36,708 --> 01:02:39,416
Something about some negotiations.
663
01:02:41,291 --> 01:02:43,791
Erik said he knew what Bourcier wanted.
664
01:02:45,916 --> 01:02:47,166
That's all I know.
665
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,166
That's fine, Astrid.
666
01:02:52,875 --> 01:02:55,125
Find him and tell him
I want to speak to him.
667
01:02:58,416 --> 01:03:00,500
I won't mention you,
I just want to speak to him.
668
01:03:03,541 --> 01:03:04,708
I'm afraid he isn't here.
669
01:03:08,958 --> 01:03:10,000
Where is he?
670
01:03:13,041 --> 01:03:14,458
[bird cawing]
671
01:03:14,541 --> 01:03:16,416
Fascinating this winged predator.
672
01:03:17,875 --> 01:03:19,375
I have a proposition, Sir Bourcier.
673
01:03:20,958 --> 01:03:23,291
Since my dear mother
is so busy at the moment
674
01:03:23,375 --> 01:03:25,458
why don't you and I
continue the negotiations?
675
01:03:25,958 --> 01:03:28,041
[dog barking]
676
01:03:28,625 --> 01:03:29,875
Shouldn't we rather wait?
677
01:03:29,958 --> 01:03:31,625
[bird cawing, dogs barking]
678
01:03:31,708 --> 01:03:35,500
It's the King's wedding. It's only
natural that the King negotiates it.
679
01:03:38,875 --> 01:03:39,791
[Bourcier]
Of course.
680
01:03:40,583 --> 01:03:43,500
However, I was sent here
to negotiate with the Queen.
681
01:03:45,458 --> 01:03:47,833
My mother is not her usual self
these days.
682
01:03:48,583 --> 01:03:49,791
She's confused.
683
01:03:50,625 --> 01:03:52,708
It's my duty to protect her interests.
684
01:04:02,791 --> 01:04:05,625
I know that you discussed
the hereditary rights with my mother.
685
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:16,208
I understand that you want
a fair position for Philippa
686
01:04:16,291 --> 01:04:17,833
and her family in the Nordic Dynasty.
687
01:04:22,166 --> 01:04:23,458
You're a very sensible man.
688
01:04:26,625 --> 01:04:27,750
Your Majesty...
689
01:04:30,541 --> 01:04:31,583
[Erik]
So...
690
01:04:31,666 --> 01:04:32,666
[paper rustles]
691
01:04:35,166 --> 01:04:36,166
Let's begin.
692
01:04:41,166 --> 01:04:42,041
Very well.
693
01:04:43,583 --> 01:04:44,666
First the easy one.
694
01:04:45,833 --> 01:04:47,250
If Philippa delivers a boy...
695
01:04:47,541 --> 01:04:48,500
My King.
696
01:04:50,458 --> 01:04:51,875
Gentleman, hello.
697
01:04:56,041 --> 01:04:59,666
-Good idea with a bit of fun, Erik.
-I thought I'd entertain our guest.
698
01:05:00,375 --> 01:05:02,708
Let's not sit around and talk then,
let's hunt.
699
01:05:03,291 --> 01:05:05,083
Yes, let's.
700
01:05:07,166 --> 01:05:09,750
-Give me your seal.
-What?
701
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:12,916
-Your seal. Give it to me.
-Mother...
702
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,958
You have no right to meddle.
What you wish to give away isn't yours.
703
01:05:19,458 --> 01:05:21,333
You've borrowed it. At my mercy.
704
01:05:23,291 --> 01:05:24,416
Come now.
705
01:05:26,291 --> 01:05:30,791
Shall I ask the guards to search you?
No? Then give it to me, now.
706
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,041
Thank you.
707
01:05:44,333 --> 01:05:45,375
[Queen]
Now let's hunt.
708
01:05:49,291 --> 01:05:52,500
She's the granddaughter of a falcon
my late father gave me.
709
01:05:52,958 --> 01:05:54,083
So beautiful.
710
01:05:55,666 --> 01:05:56,833
[bells jingling]
711
01:06:03,166 --> 01:06:04,208
[wings flapping]
712
01:06:04,291 --> 01:06:05,583
[dogs barking]
713
01:06:08,125 --> 01:06:10,666
I hope you understand the negotiations
have taken a new turn.
714
01:06:10,750 --> 01:06:12,875
He has killed hundreds of geese.
715
01:06:15,958 --> 01:06:18,083
The King has just promised me
hereditary rights.
716
01:06:21,333 --> 01:06:22,666
That is not going to happen.
717
01:06:25,625 --> 01:06:26,875
[dramatic music]
718
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,125
Had I not happened to discover it
719
01:06:37,958 --> 01:06:41,000
you would have handed the entire
North to King Henry of England.
720
01:06:42,041 --> 01:06:45,041
The future of our children and
the generations to come.
721
01:06:47,625 --> 01:06:52,666
-The Queen's hesitation hurts us all.
-How could you go along with this?
722
01:06:52,750 --> 01:06:57,166
We need an agreement with England
because of the Teutonic Order.
723
01:06:57,250 --> 01:06:58,458
I know.
724
01:06:58,916 --> 01:07:03,708
But there haven't been any negotiations
since the false Oluf appeared.
725
01:07:03,791 --> 01:07:09,041
No. And you haven't made it any easier.
Now Bourcier has raised the price.
726
01:07:10,458 --> 01:07:13,583
To complete this deal,
we all have to contribute.
727
01:07:13,666 --> 01:07:15,125
This thing...
728
01:07:17,166 --> 01:07:18,666
is not about money.
729
01:07:20,833 --> 01:07:24,541
Bourcier will continue
to raise his demands.
730
01:07:27,041 --> 01:07:29,791
And King Henry?
When he hears what's happening...
731
01:07:29,875 --> 01:07:31,291
England needs us, too.
732
01:07:31,375 --> 01:07:35,875
Do you think they want a crumbling Union?
We don't even know who is King.
733
01:07:42,416 --> 01:07:43,500
[Jens]
Your Majesty...
734
01:07:47,083 --> 01:07:50,666
Everyone is talking.
Everyone is watching.
735
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,166
Who is King of the Union
in the eyes of Europe right now?
736
01:08:20,583 --> 01:08:22,166
I apologize for the delay.
737
01:08:24,708 --> 01:08:26,875
[suspenseful music]
738
01:08:31,291 --> 01:08:32,750
I will hang the man.
739
01:08:35,916 --> 01:08:38,083
[eerie music]
740
01:09:30,916 --> 01:09:35,208
The accused is incoherent and
is not recognized by the woman,
741
01:09:35,291 --> 01:09:38,000
Her Majesty,
whom he claims is his mother.
742
01:09:38,083 --> 01:09:40,833
Please, I recognize my own King.
743
01:09:40,916 --> 01:09:44,416
-[man] True.
-Guttorm recognizes him, too.
744
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:47,458
Calm down, Asle.
We've heard enough.
745
01:09:48,125 --> 01:09:48,958
[crowd exclaims]
746
01:09:49,041 --> 01:09:50,291
[shouts]
Stop!
747
01:10:04,333 --> 01:10:08,708
We've reached a conclusion.
And I will now...
748
01:10:10,166 --> 01:10:12,333
[a cappella singing]
749
01:10:29,625 --> 01:10:31,041
[footsteps approaching]
750
01:10:31,125 --> 01:10:32,750
[humming]
751
01:10:47,083 --> 01:10:48,333
[humming]
752
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:09,541
[melancholic music]
753
01:11:41,791 --> 01:11:43,666
[waves crashing]
754
01:11:46,666 --> 01:11:48,166
[wind howling]
755
01:12:01,625 --> 01:12:03,333
[music intensifies]
756
01:12:08,208 --> 01:12:09,958
[muted scream]
757
01:12:36,458 --> 01:12:38,125
[door creaking]
758
01:12:39,666 --> 01:12:40,500
[door closes]
759
01:12:46,250 --> 01:12:48,708
The rumors claimed
I killed my own child.
760
01:12:50,583 --> 01:12:52,041
I could never have done that.
761
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:57,250
No. You couldn't.
762
01:13:00,666 --> 01:13:01,916
But you could.
763
01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:12,041
You charged Esge Vind with the task.
764
01:13:13,833 --> 01:13:15,166
But you didn't succeed.
765
01:13:22,041 --> 01:13:25,708
I gave you what you needed.
Didn't I?
766
01:13:28,041 --> 01:13:30,416
You would never have
achieved peace with Oluf.
767
01:13:31,875 --> 01:13:36,041
Sweden would not have accepted him.
He would have divided the North.
768
01:13:37,791 --> 01:13:39,541
You know it's true, Margrete.
769
01:13:41,250 --> 01:13:43,416
The North would have
become a battlefield.
770
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,000
I need to be alone with him.
771
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:56,500
-You can't.
-I must be alone with him.
772
01:13:57,541 --> 01:13:58,375
[sighs]
773
01:13:58,750 --> 01:14:01,708
-[Peder] I can't smuggle you in to him.
-Then smuggle him out.
774
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:05,791
-To the church, to confess tonight.
-Margrete, please...
775
01:14:05,875 --> 01:14:08,250
[shouts]
How dare you ask me anything!
776
01:14:10,750 --> 01:14:12,333
After all that you've done.
777
01:14:15,958 --> 01:14:17,250
I did it for you.
778
01:14:19,333 --> 01:14:22,083
Think of all the sons we've spared
on the battlefield.
779
01:14:23,875 --> 01:14:25,541
Think of all those families.
780
01:14:28,125 --> 01:14:32,000
Maybe you did it because you were
afraid of losing what you've attained.
781
01:14:34,958 --> 01:14:36,208
All that wealth.
782
01:14:38,250 --> 01:14:39,416
All that power.
783
01:14:41,416 --> 01:14:42,375
That's not true.
784
01:14:45,458 --> 01:14:48,375
Who would have thought you would
become such a powerful man?
785
01:14:50,666 --> 01:14:53,166
You were an insignificant catechist.
786
01:14:54,541 --> 01:14:58,541
I took you in.
And I promoted you.
787
01:15:00,291 --> 01:15:01,791
I regret that now.
788
01:15:09,250 --> 01:15:10,625
But it's too late.
789
01:15:12,750 --> 01:15:13,750
Isn't it?
790
01:15:18,958 --> 01:15:20,708
Bring him to the church tonight.
791
01:15:24,375 --> 01:15:25,666
[footsteps receding]
792
01:15:28,083 --> 01:15:29,208
[horses neighing]
793
01:15:56,708 --> 01:15:57,666
[horses neighing]
794
01:16:15,041 --> 01:16:16,458
[splashing]
795
01:16:17,458 --> 01:16:19,750
Hello, Raberlin.
What brings you to Malbork?
796
01:16:20,125 --> 01:16:22,041
-[Raberlin] Business.
-What business?
797
01:16:23,708 --> 01:16:27,166
I buy and sell wares. It isn't
illegal to trade with the Germans.
798
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:28,916
And what were you doing in Kalmar?
799
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:32,375
[gasps and chokes]
800
01:16:35,666 --> 01:16:37,208
[groaning]
801
01:16:39,583 --> 01:16:42,000
Stop! Stop!
I'll talk...
802
01:16:42,750 --> 01:16:44,625
What do you know
about the man who came?
803
01:16:45,708 --> 01:16:48,125
King Oluf suddenly appeared.
804
01:16:48,208 --> 01:16:49,375
Where did he appear?
805
01:16:52,083 --> 01:16:56,041
No, don't.
He was kept hidden in a monastery.
806
01:16:56,625 --> 01:16:58,500
-A monastery? Where?
-In Rügen.
807
01:16:59,250 --> 01:17:00,416
Jacob?
808
01:17:05,625 --> 01:17:09,750
-A letter to the German Grand Master.
-Raberlin is a messenger.
809
01:17:11,875 --> 01:17:14,833
"Oluf Håkonsen's arrival has gone
according to plan.
810
01:17:15,958 --> 01:17:19,625
The Queen is shaken.
Negotiations with England have stalled.
811
01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:23,916
I am winning King Erik's trust.
812
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:26,416
He's young and easily controlled.
813
01:17:27,041 --> 01:17:28,666
You can prepare the troops.
814
01:17:29,708 --> 01:17:32,041
Yours faithfully, Johan Sparre."
815
01:17:33,750 --> 01:17:39,833
The Germans will conquer the North.
That woman is taking over everything.
816
01:17:40,458 --> 01:17:43,666
May she go to hell.
Everyone curses her.
817
01:17:44,125 --> 01:17:46,291
-Who are you speaking for?
-All Germans.
818
01:17:47,500 --> 01:17:49,708
And all sensible men in the North.
819
01:17:52,375 --> 01:17:54,000
She's a witch.
820
01:18:01,375 --> 01:18:02,916
[music intensifies]
821
01:18:07,250 --> 01:18:10,041
[Erik]
I'll sentence him myself right now.
822
01:18:10,125 --> 01:18:12,500
It's the only thing to do, Your Majesty.
823
01:18:12,583 --> 01:18:17,750
I agree, but we need the church,
the nobility and the people with us.
824
01:18:17,833 --> 01:18:20,750
-[Jens] And Asle and Norway.
-We can't wait any longer.
825
01:18:21,291 --> 01:18:23,791
You mustn't appear as a rejected tyrant.
826
01:18:23,875 --> 01:18:26,666
People need to
see you as the righteous King.
827
01:18:27,125 --> 01:18:29,750
The Queen's natural heir.
828
01:18:31,625 --> 01:18:33,458
How will you get Norway to agree?
829
01:18:37,416 --> 01:18:42,416
If the King permits...
Allow me to think about it.
830
01:18:42,500 --> 01:18:46,375
You have until tomorrow.
Otherwise, I'll sentence him, regardless.
831
01:18:49,583 --> 01:18:50,541
Yes.
832
01:18:57,416 --> 01:18:59,000
It will work out.
833
01:19:03,083 --> 01:19:06,041
[door opens and closes]
834
01:19:33,083 --> 01:19:34,125
For you.
835
01:19:35,708 --> 01:19:36,666
For me?
836
01:19:44,541 --> 01:19:46,166
[gentle music]
837
01:19:52,250 --> 01:19:53,083
[soft moaning]
838
01:20:27,333 --> 01:20:33,750
[whispers] Pray for us sinners.
Now and in our hour of death. Amen.
839
01:20:43,666 --> 01:20:45,958
[footsteps approaching]
840
01:21:38,375 --> 01:21:39,708
You forgot me.
841
01:21:43,708 --> 01:21:44,875
I tried.
842
01:21:53,583 --> 01:21:55,250
What did they do to you?
843
01:22:10,916 --> 01:22:14,916
I waited for you.
Every night, I waited for you.
844
01:22:16,625 --> 01:22:20,708
Every time someone passed my window,
I hoped it was you.
845
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:23,916
But I didn't know...
846
01:22:30,708 --> 01:22:34,833
-I didn't know.
-[cries] I don't know who I am anymore.
847
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,541
[whispers]
I don't know who I am.
848
01:22:52,625 --> 01:22:53,708
[cries loudly]
849
01:22:54,708 --> 01:22:55,625
[sobs]
850
01:23:09,416 --> 01:23:10,833
[whispers]
Let me look at you.
851
01:23:11,875 --> 01:23:12,708
[grunts]
852
01:23:20,208 --> 01:23:22,291
Tell me about the man who freed you.
853
01:23:27,541 --> 01:23:32,083
Do you think it was the same man
who tried to kill me?
854
01:23:34,208 --> 01:23:35,458
No, it wasn't him.
855
01:23:38,500 --> 01:23:40,375
Would you recognize him
if you saw him?
856
01:23:42,666 --> 01:23:46,916
Think carefully.
Everyone who is close to us is here.
857
01:23:51,541 --> 01:23:53,333
They were in the Throne Room.
858
01:23:55,541 --> 01:23:57,041
No, I haven't seen him.
859
01:23:57,541 --> 01:23:59,333
Tomorrow at the hearing...
860
01:24:02,041 --> 01:24:05,625
take a good look at everyone.
See if you can spot him.
861
01:24:06,583 --> 01:24:08,000
[footsteps approaching]
862
01:24:17,458 --> 01:24:20,166
Are you aware of the consequences
of your actions?
863
01:24:22,125 --> 01:24:24,541
-Yes.
-What about Erik?
864
01:24:25,625 --> 01:24:31,250
Your position requires you to stand
behind me, no matter what I decide.
865
01:24:38,208 --> 01:24:40,083
[loud knocking on door]
866
01:24:40,166 --> 01:24:41,666
[gasping]
867
01:24:44,958 --> 01:24:48,416
Astrid, calm down.
868
01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:52,208
Astrid, Astrid. Look at me.
Don't be afraid.
869
01:24:52,833 --> 01:24:54,208
[knocking on door]
870
01:24:55,041 --> 01:24:56,791
Stay here.
Yes?
871
01:24:58,833 --> 01:24:59,875
[door creaks]
872
01:25:01,125 --> 01:25:04,708
Terrible news, my King. Malin?
873
01:25:05,708 --> 01:25:09,208
The Queen has announced
that the German is her real son.
874
01:25:11,166 --> 01:25:12,083
What?
875
01:25:14,500 --> 01:25:16,791
We have a new witness in the case.
876
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,916
-What witness?
-One who will hopefully close the case.
877
01:25:26,958 --> 01:25:27,958
Fine.
878
01:25:31,583 --> 01:25:35,125
-We just need to discuss that girl.
-Astrid?
879
01:25:35,208 --> 01:25:39,875
Your mother is using her to spy on you
in a plot to dethrone you.
880
01:25:53,875 --> 01:25:55,041
Is it true?
881
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,416
Did my mother ask you to spy on me?
882
01:26:08,208 --> 01:26:09,666
[shouts]
Answer me!
883
01:26:12,083 --> 01:26:13,208
[Jens]
Malin.
884
01:26:17,500 --> 01:26:18,708
Get up, whore.
885
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:38,333
I was there when the Queen asked
Astrid to spy on you, Your Grace.
886
01:26:44,833 --> 01:26:46,541
[slapping]
887
01:26:59,750 --> 01:27:03,583
[suspenseful music]
888
01:27:06,416 --> 01:27:07,416
[bell rings]
889
01:27:42,916 --> 01:27:44,125
Have you seen Sparre?
890
01:27:47,041 --> 01:27:49,041
Have you seen him
at any of the hearings?
891
01:27:53,291 --> 01:27:54,958
He hasn't been here.
892
01:28:02,416 --> 01:28:03,375
[Peder]
Welcome.
893
01:28:07,375 --> 01:28:09,541
Her Majesty the Queen will
open the hearing.
894
01:28:16,750 --> 01:28:20,291
I shall ask questions only
the real Oluf can answer.
895
01:28:20,708 --> 01:28:22,791
First I would like to summon a witness.
896
01:28:24,250 --> 01:28:26,958
I'm certain it will
shed new light on the case.
897
01:28:36,750 --> 01:28:38,083
Hildur?
898
01:28:50,708 --> 01:28:51,666
What is your name?
899
01:28:53,958 --> 01:28:55,416
Hildur Eiriksdóttir.
900
01:28:56,958 --> 01:28:58,833
[Peder] What is your connection
to the accused?
901
01:28:59,541 --> 01:29:03,250
I was the wet nurse for
Her Majesty's son Oluf.
902
01:29:05,750 --> 01:29:07,166
Can Her Majesty confirm that?
903
01:29:10,583 --> 01:29:12,375
Can the Queen confirm that?
904
01:29:14,250 --> 01:29:17,041
Yes. I can confirm that.
905
01:29:21,916 --> 01:29:23,583
[Peder]
The man sitting there...
906
01:29:27,083 --> 01:29:28,333
Is that King Oluf?
907
01:29:39,208 --> 01:29:40,208
No, it isn't him.
908
01:29:44,208 --> 01:29:45,041
[gasps]
909
01:29:48,208 --> 01:29:49,375
How do you know that?
910
01:29:54,625 --> 01:29:56,666
Because I taught him all he knows.
911
01:29:58,125 --> 01:30:00,833
I taught him to play the role
of the dead King.
912
01:30:02,875 --> 01:30:04,458
I taught him the lullaby.
913
01:30:06,666 --> 01:30:09,541
How could you lie about that?
Hildur?
914
01:30:13,791 --> 01:30:15,333
Does the witness have more to add?
915
01:30:17,708 --> 01:30:19,375
How did they make you do this, Hildur?
916
01:30:21,708 --> 01:30:26,083
-God will punish you, Hildur!
-We will now pass sentence. Peder?
917
01:30:27,833 --> 01:30:28,750
Hildur is lying.
918
01:30:30,791 --> 01:30:34,583
She could not speak freely.
Anyone can see that.
919
01:30:34,875 --> 01:30:39,250
Anyone can see that this has gone
too far. Please, continue.
920
01:30:40,250 --> 01:30:43,375
-I wish to summon a witness.
-Who?
921
01:30:45,458 --> 01:30:46,750
Johan Sparre.
922
01:30:48,166 --> 01:30:49,458
Johan Sparre?
923
01:30:52,916 --> 01:30:57,750
Has anyone seen Sparre at
a single one of Oluf's hearings?
924
01:31:01,041 --> 01:31:04,291
No, Your Majesty,
but he has...
925
01:31:05,166 --> 01:31:07,750
Oluf saw the man who freed him.
926
01:31:10,916 --> 01:31:17,083
-So why hasn't Sparre been here?
-You're proving just how mad you are.
927
01:31:17,166 --> 01:31:20,916
Summon him.
Let's hear what he has to say.
928
01:31:22,833 --> 01:31:25,958
You expect me to believe a swindler
over the Swedish Councilor?
929
01:31:30,375 --> 01:31:33,666
Sparre was much more powerful
under the German King.
930
01:31:36,083 --> 01:31:37,458
He has never been on our side.
931
01:31:39,083 --> 01:31:40,958
He wants to destroy the Union
from within.
932
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:44,458
You are destroying the Union.
933
01:31:46,500 --> 01:31:50,291
You're so blinded by your own grief
that you can't see clearly.
934
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,125
Had I dragged a donkey in here
935
01:31:57,166 --> 01:31:59,166
you would have believed it
to be your son.
936
01:32:02,333 --> 01:32:03,916
Let us pass sentence.
937
01:32:10,583 --> 01:32:11,541
I swear...
938
01:32:15,625 --> 01:32:20,666
I swear upon my father,
King Valdemar Atterdag...
939
01:32:22,833 --> 01:32:24,958
that this is my son.
940
01:32:28,916 --> 01:32:32,750
You yourself said he wasn't your son.
Everyone here heard it.
941
01:32:34,250 --> 01:32:36,291
How do you expect us
to take you seriously?
942
01:32:37,583 --> 01:32:40,083
With God as my witness, I sentence...
943
01:32:40,166 --> 01:32:43,000
God and the Church know the truth.
944
01:32:47,250 --> 01:32:49,833
I am standing beside
the true King of the Union.
945
01:32:53,041 --> 01:32:54,083
Peder?
946
01:32:55,541 --> 01:32:59,250
-We only have one King.
-[man] One king. Oluf.
947
01:32:59,333 --> 01:33:02,000
He's standing there,
beside our Queen.
948
01:33:24,375 --> 01:33:27,000
The rightful King of the North
is called Erik.
949
01:33:29,041 --> 01:33:31,833
[Jens] That is the position
of both Denmark and Sweden.
950
01:33:45,333 --> 01:33:46,333
Peder?
951
01:33:48,958 --> 01:33:50,083
What does the Church say?
952
01:34:17,333 --> 01:34:20,000
The Church chooses
what is best for the Union.
953
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:22,958
[dramatic music]
954
01:34:28,083 --> 01:34:32,541
I sentence the swindler to death.
He will be hanged at dawn.
955
01:34:34,375 --> 01:34:38,125
And arrest his supporters
for contempt of the Crown.
956
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:41,000
[indistinct protests]
957
01:34:43,083 --> 01:34:43,958
[groans]
958
01:34:50,666 --> 01:34:53,958
[Erik] Let the Queen be placed
under close guard.
959
01:34:56,250 --> 01:34:57,875
My beloved mother...
960
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,083
will step down.
961
01:35:04,791 --> 01:35:09,083
Leaving the power
to her only son, King Erik.
962
01:35:10,875 --> 01:35:12,708
You don't know what you're doing.
963
01:35:13,958 --> 01:35:15,958
[music intensifies]
964
01:35:42,166 --> 01:35:43,208
[groans]
965
01:35:44,750 --> 01:35:46,000
[gate bangs shut]
966
01:35:46,541 --> 01:35:47,791
[lock clicks]
967
01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:52,333
If you don't trust me, I don't see
my role here, or Sweden's.
968
01:35:52,416 --> 01:35:55,958
She called me a traitor.
969
01:35:56,041 --> 01:35:58,208
After all that I've done for the Union.
970
01:35:58,291 --> 01:36:00,916
-She doesn't know what she's saying.
-Perhaps.
971
01:36:03,833 --> 01:36:07,250
But everyone heard her accusation,
and people listen to her.
972
01:36:07,333 --> 01:36:10,750
She'll say no more.
I'll make a public apology.
973
01:36:10,833 --> 01:36:14,000
Words are no use.
It will take a strong signal.
974
01:36:18,166 --> 01:36:19,541
Go on.
975
01:36:22,666 --> 01:36:26,583
-I'll make you Minister of War.
-Your mother abolished the position.
976
01:36:27,208 --> 01:36:29,000
Maybe so, but now I'm in charge.
977
01:36:29,791 --> 01:36:31,291
It's not that simple, Erik.
978
01:36:32,916 --> 01:36:36,000
There's a reason why
your mother removed the title.
979
01:36:41,041 --> 01:36:43,083
You know how much you mean to me.
980
01:36:43,583 --> 01:36:46,333
But I need people who will
support what I do.
981
01:36:48,125 --> 01:36:49,333
In the name of God.
982
01:36:57,291 --> 01:36:59,708
You are a great man, Your Majesty.
983
01:37:01,791 --> 01:37:02,916
A great man.
984
01:37:10,666 --> 01:37:11,833
Yes...
985
01:37:16,125 --> 01:37:18,625
[horses galloping]
986
01:37:33,791 --> 01:37:35,083
[distant voices]
987
01:37:42,166 --> 01:37:43,833
[suspenseful music]
988
01:37:45,708 --> 01:37:47,291
I'll be damned.
989
01:37:48,583 --> 01:37:51,708
-A whole army.
-And mercenaries too.
990
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,625
[music intensifies]
991
01:38:16,458 --> 01:38:17,750
[indistinct chatter]
992
01:38:19,208 --> 01:38:20,708
[voices approaching]
993
01:38:28,541 --> 01:38:29,750
Oluf?
994
01:38:33,583 --> 01:38:34,750
Oluf?
995
01:38:38,708 --> 01:38:41,833
-Someone will come and fetch you tonight.
-Where am I going?
996
01:38:42,125 --> 01:38:45,833
To Bergen. Asle and the Norwegian Council
will accompany us.
997
01:38:46,458 --> 01:38:50,166
-Will you come?
-Yes. There's nothing more to do here.
998
01:38:54,916 --> 01:38:59,250
-[Oluf] What will we do in Norway?
-You're not going to die here.
999
01:39:00,250 --> 01:39:03,916
We're together.
We'll figure out the rest.
1000
01:39:06,041 --> 01:39:07,541
We'll figure out the rest...
1001
01:39:12,833 --> 01:39:14,000
My son...
1002
01:39:48,083 --> 01:39:49,208
[door opening]
1003
01:39:54,125 --> 01:39:55,875
[dramatic music]
1004
01:40:23,666 --> 01:40:24,708
[Oluf]
Asle.
1005
01:40:41,958 --> 01:40:45,708
[guard] The cells are empty.
The prisoners have escaped!
1006
01:40:46,958 --> 01:40:49,208
[maid]
It's time to go, Your Majesty.
1007
01:40:51,250 --> 01:40:53,958
Look everywhere!
Check the north court.
1008
01:41:11,708 --> 01:41:12,625
Asle...
1009
01:41:23,833 --> 01:41:27,708
We're here to search the Queen's
chambers. King Erik's orders.
1010
01:41:31,416 --> 01:41:33,541
-Your Majesty.
-Jacob.
1011
01:41:37,250 --> 01:41:42,166
A letter from Johan Sparre to
the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order.
1012
01:41:42,875 --> 01:41:44,291
We found it on Raberlin.
1013
01:41:49,250 --> 01:41:54,000
"Oluf Håkonsen's arrival has
gone according to plan.
1014
01:41:54,583 --> 01:41:59,208
I am winning King Erik's trust.
He's young and easily controlled.
1015
01:42:02,208 --> 01:42:04,125
You can prepare the troops."
1016
01:42:04,208 --> 01:42:05,500
There's more.
1017
01:42:11,833 --> 01:42:12,791
[Queen]
But that's...
1018
01:42:12,875 --> 01:42:16,333
A detailed description of
the entire Union's coastal defense.
1019
01:42:19,875 --> 01:42:21,916
If this had
reached the Teutonic Order...
1020
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,500
[Roar] They're putting together an army,
with French mercenaries.
1021
01:42:25,583 --> 01:42:28,333
An invasion army. How many?
1022
01:42:29,208 --> 01:42:30,708
At least 3,000.
1023
01:42:32,583 --> 01:42:33,875
[maid]
My Queen...
1024
01:42:34,666 --> 01:42:36,250
-We must leave now.
-Yes.
1025
01:42:52,250 --> 01:42:54,083
[somber music]
1026
01:43:04,041 --> 01:43:05,833
[maid] My Queen?
Your Majesty...
1027
01:43:10,625 --> 01:43:12,291
[Queen]
I'll meet you behind the stables.
1028
01:43:12,750 --> 01:43:14,791
-But, Your Majesty...
-Go.
1029
01:43:15,750 --> 01:43:17,041
Jacob?
1030
01:43:59,291 --> 01:44:00,291
[Peder]
Sparre.
1031
01:44:09,708 --> 01:44:12,083
[melancholic music]
1032
01:44:12,750 --> 01:44:13,958
Forgive me.
1033
01:44:19,416 --> 01:44:20,791
Erik.
1034
01:44:23,250 --> 01:44:26,125
-They will crush him.
-Yes...
1035
01:44:35,791 --> 01:44:37,000
I can't help him.
1036
01:44:39,875 --> 01:44:41,125
Not without you.
1037
01:44:42,750 --> 01:44:44,291
You have handed the power to Erik.
1038
01:44:52,333 --> 01:44:53,500
Are you leaving?
1039
01:44:58,333 --> 01:44:59,541
If so, I wouldn't be here.
1040
01:45:02,708 --> 01:45:05,708
-What do you want?
-You must give him the letter.
1041
01:45:11,375 --> 01:45:13,458
Even if he read that letter...
1042
01:45:15,583 --> 01:45:17,166
he wouldn't listen to you.
1043
01:45:19,500 --> 01:45:23,250
You humiliated him in front of everyone.
And you tried to depose him.
1044
01:45:28,208 --> 01:45:29,916
No, he won't listen to me.
1045
01:45:32,416 --> 01:45:34,375
Not as long as Oluf is alive.
1046
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,750
It's time to finish
what you started back then.
1047
01:45:51,333 --> 01:45:54,875
-We need to get to the ship now.
-We're waiting for the Queen.
1048
01:45:56,333 --> 01:46:01,166
-There are soldiers everywhere.
-Do as you like. I'm waiting for her.
1049
01:46:02,208 --> 01:46:06,083
-She should have been here long ago.
-She's coming.
1050
01:46:06,166 --> 01:46:09,208
Listen, we'll leave
when it gets light.
1051
01:46:16,166 --> 01:46:17,000
There...
1052
01:46:22,500 --> 01:46:23,875
[horse neighs]
1053
01:46:25,583 --> 01:46:26,708
There she is.
1054
01:46:40,916 --> 01:46:42,541
[horses neigh]
1055
01:46:43,541 --> 01:46:44,875
[Asle]
Oh, God.
1056
01:46:49,625 --> 01:46:50,791
[Asle]
Oh, God...
1057
01:47:00,208 --> 01:47:02,333
[dramatic music]
1058
01:47:57,875 --> 01:47:59,291
[Queen]
Have you caught him?
1059
01:48:01,625 --> 01:48:02,541
Mm.
1060
01:48:02,625 --> 01:48:03,625
[Queen]
Alive?
1061
01:48:18,916 --> 01:48:19,916
Yes...
1062
01:48:21,916 --> 01:48:24,416
-I want to kill him myself.
-We'll spare his life.
1063
01:48:26,041 --> 01:48:28,583
You can use him to control
the Swedish nobles.
1064
01:48:29,416 --> 01:48:31,458
He's very cooperative, my King.
1065
01:48:33,458 --> 01:48:35,791
I'll hang the false Oluf at sunrise.
1066
01:48:37,625 --> 01:48:40,500
-He should be burned.
-I won't burn a traitor.
1067
01:48:41,750 --> 01:48:46,000
Cleanse him of his sins and
grant him entry to God's kingdom.
1068
01:48:46,083 --> 01:48:47,458
I won't make him a martyr.
1069
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:51,958
We'll burn the case records with him.
1070
01:48:53,041 --> 01:48:54,500
All this will be forgotten.
1071
01:48:55,333 --> 01:48:57,541
We'll pardon
Asle and the Norwegian Council.
1072
01:48:57,625 --> 01:49:00,875
I don't take orders from you.
You betrayed me.
1073
01:49:02,291 --> 01:49:06,208
You tore me away from everything I had.
Planted me here.
1074
01:49:06,916 --> 01:49:10,666
Let me grow.
I was five years old.
1075
01:49:14,458 --> 01:49:17,666
For what? Just to tear me up
by the roots again?
1076
01:49:24,791 --> 01:49:27,458
When I brought you here,
you were a small, pale boy.
1077
01:49:30,708 --> 01:49:34,458
Look at you now.
Now you're King.
1078
01:49:50,708 --> 01:49:51,583
Erik?
1079
01:49:57,541 --> 01:49:59,333
You need your mother's support.
1080
01:50:13,291 --> 01:50:18,625
-And England?
-It will be a big, beautiful wedding.
1081
01:50:33,791 --> 01:50:36,000
[bell rings]
1082
01:50:39,666 --> 01:50:41,666
[bell rings]
1083
01:50:45,083 --> 01:50:47,375
[bell rings]
1084
01:50:47,458 --> 01:50:49,500
[somber music]
1085
01:50:50,583 --> 01:50:52,458
[bell rings]
1086
01:50:56,083 --> 01:50:57,833
[bell rings]
1087
01:51:07,625 --> 01:51:11,541
Skanør in Scania, Denmark,
28 September, 1402
1088
01:51:59,625 --> 01:52:01,416
[wind howling]
1089
01:52:14,875 --> 01:52:16,291
You weren't strong enough.
1090
01:52:19,666 --> 01:52:21,250
I was much too strong.
1091
01:52:32,708 --> 01:52:33,583
[groans]
1092
01:52:33,666 --> 01:52:35,750
[grunting]
1093
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:38,750
[groans]
1094
01:52:39,375 --> 01:52:40,708
[grunts]
1095
01:52:43,833 --> 01:52:44,666
[moaning]
1096
01:52:48,208 --> 01:52:50,375
[fire crackles]
1097
01:52:54,291 --> 01:52:56,000
[Oluf groaning]
1098
01:52:58,708 --> 01:52:59,666
[fire crackling]
1099
01:53:12,625 --> 01:53:14,333
[gasps and groans]
1100
01:53:20,458 --> 01:53:22,041
[loud groaning]
1101
01:53:26,083 --> 01:53:27,333
[gasping]
1102
01:53:29,416 --> 01:53:34,333
[Oluf crying] Get me down.
Get me down from here.
1103
01:53:34,916 --> 01:53:37,166
[Oluf screams in pain]
1104
01:53:38,333 --> 01:53:40,000
[fire crackling]
1105
01:53:45,916 --> 01:53:48,375
[melancholic music]
1106
01:54:43,500 --> 01:54:48,000
The mystery of the false Oluf
has never been solved.
1107
01:54:48,083 --> 01:54:51,083
No one knows who the man really was.
1108
01:54:52,583 --> 01:54:57,000
The documents from the trial
were burned along with him,
1109
01:54:57,083 --> 01:55:01,208
creating one of the most fascinating
mysteries in Nordic history.
1110
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,791
In 1406,
the wedding of King Erik and Philippa,
1111
01:55:06,875 --> 01:55:10,875
the daughter of the English King Henry IV,
is held in Lund Cathedral.
1112
01:55:10,958 --> 01:55:12,750
They do not produce any heirs.
1113
01:55:13,291 --> 01:55:17,666
Despite internal dispute,
the Kalmar Union lasted for 126 years.
1114
01:55:17,750 --> 01:55:20,875
Sweden left the Union in 1523
1115
01:55:20,958 --> 01:55:25,708
while Denmark and Norway remained
twin kingdoms until 1814.
1116
01:55:27,375 --> 01:55:32,041
The special bond that connects
the three countries to this day
1117
01:55:32,125 --> 01:55:35,875
is to a great extent thanks
to one woman: Queen Margrete I.
