1
00:00:25,902 --> 00:00:26,736
Look.

2
00:00:47,882 --> 00:00:48,966
Have you seen Harald?

3
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,220
He slept again in the longhouse
with your parents.

4
00:00:52,303 --> 00:00:53,971
[ship horn blows in distance]

5
00:00:55,223 --> 00:00:57,099
[excited chatter]

6
00:00:58,267 --> 00:01:00,061
[man] It's the traders. They are coming.

7
00:01:00,144 --> 00:01:01,646
[horn continues blowing]

8
00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:05,441
[woman] It is the traders!

9
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:07,276
They're back.

10
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:10,822
[men shouting indistinctly]

11
00:01:24,418 --> 00:01:27,672
[Skögul] Akí! Akí!

12
00:01:28,381 --> 00:01:29,799
-[Skögul screams]
-What happened?

13
00:01:30,675 --> 00:01:32,301
[Hámundr] From an axe.

14
00:01:32,385 --> 00:01:33,553
Someone killed him.

15
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:35,930
[Gunn] Who would do that?

16
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:38,266
Who would do that to Akí?

17
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:41,978
Where is my father?

18
00:01:44,647 --> 00:01:47,525
Welcome. We have so much to trade.

19
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:49,819
Your boats will not be able
to carry it all.

20
00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:52,613
Did you kill Akí and steal our boat?

21
00:01:52,697 --> 00:01:54,949
What are you talking about?
I did not kill anyone.

22
00:01:55,032 --> 00:01:56,450
He has been murdered

23
00:01:56,534 --> 00:01:59,537
and no one does anything around here
without your permission.

24
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:03,916
I demand a Thing.

25
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:09,505
I demand you to be put on trial
for the murder of Akí.

26
00:02:10,256 --> 00:02:14,010
Do not test me, daughter.
I'm the leader here, not you.

27
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,430
You are not my leader.

28
00:02:17,513 --> 00:02:20,433
You are just an old man
terrified of the future.

29
00:02:21,017 --> 00:02:22,727
-[roars]
-[all exclaim]

30
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:29,901
It appears my father wants
a trial by combat.

31
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:33,946
Let the gods decide
which one of us is right.

32
00:02:38,784 --> 00:02:39,869
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

33
00:02:42,330 --> 00:02:44,457
I do not wish to kill you, daughter.

34
00:02:46,125 --> 00:02:47,710
Then I will kill you.

35
00:03:05,937 --> 00:03:07,229
[Freydis exhales]

36
00:03:13,361 --> 00:03:14,946
[both yell]

37
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,199
[both grunting]

38
00:03:19,492 --> 00:03:21,202
[Erik yelling]

39
00:03:24,747 --> 00:03:26,457
[both panting]

40
00:03:29,335 --> 00:03:31,253
[both grunting]

41
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,518
And now, you will learn a hard lesson.

42
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:48,145
[grunts]

43
00:03:50,022 --> 00:03:51,607
[both grunting]

44
00:03:54,902 --> 00:03:56,654
The gods have spoken.

45
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:59,907
Submit to a trial or face death.

46
00:03:59,991 --> 00:04:04,412
If you kill me,
you'll never see your son again.

47
00:04:06,706 --> 00:04:08,040
What have you done to him?

48
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:10,626
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

49
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:13,045
Answer me. Where is Harald?

50
00:04:14,964 --> 00:04:18,259
He is safe. As long as I am safe.

51
00:04:18,342 --> 00:04:21,345
You wouldn't hurt him just to punish me.

52
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:28,519
Of course not.

53
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:35,943
Just the same as your people
do not hurt me.

54
00:04:40,823 --> 00:04:41,991
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

55
00:04:42,074 --> 00:04:43,075
Take her away!

56
00:04:44,577 --> 00:04:46,912
You would be wise to stay out of this.

57
00:04:46,996 --> 00:04:48,289
What are you doing?

58
00:04:48,372 --> 00:04:51,334
She needs to relearn her place
in this family.

59
00:04:55,004 --> 00:04:56,380
Take her to the storehouse!

60
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:20,446
There is no golden land.
I know. I have tried to find it.

61
00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:25,493
And I tried my best to convince Freydis
of this, but she wouldn't listen.

62
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:31,707
I took her boats from her
and she still persisted in this myth.

63
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:36,504
If you had followed her,
you would all be dead.

64
00:05:39,215 --> 00:05:43,344
No, Freydis will come around in time
and hopefully you will too.

65
00:05:43,427 --> 00:05:48,557
But… [sighs] if we work together,

66
00:05:48,641 --> 00:05:52,353
we can turn Greenland
into the golden land.

67
00:05:53,437 --> 00:05:54,313
Yes?

68
00:05:57,358 --> 00:05:58,192
Yes.

69
00:05:59,151 --> 00:06:00,736
You had no reason to kill Akí.

70
00:06:03,531 --> 00:06:04,657
Hmm.

71
00:06:11,247 --> 00:06:12,748
What is your name, girl?

72
00:06:12,832 --> 00:06:14,667
-Hrefna.
-Hrefna.

73
00:06:21,757 --> 00:06:24,510
Hrefna, I know you are confused.

74
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:29,890
But believe me when I tell you
the Greenland winter is coming

75
00:06:29,974 --> 00:06:33,686
and it is not like the winters
you knew back home.

76
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:40,401
It is long. It is brutal.
And your tents will not keep you safe.

77
00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:45,573
Your only chance of survival
is to be within these walls.

78
00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:47,825
With us.

79
00:06:57,168 --> 00:06:59,503
[Erik muttering indistinctly]

80
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,131
[door closes]

81
00:07:21,150 --> 00:07:22,401
[bishop] Let us pray.

82
00:07:25,404 --> 00:07:28,365
Oh Lord, we thank you
for our safe return to Norway.

83
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:31,911
[all praying softly]

84
00:07:39,835 --> 00:07:40,669
Here.

85
00:07:43,047 --> 00:07:45,466
My father would have wished
a true Viking to have it.

86
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:47,134
Thank you, Lord Magnus.

87
00:07:55,226 --> 00:07:56,852
-[grunts]
-[speaks Latin]

88
00:07:58,938 --> 00:08:01,023
-[grunting]
-[flesh squelching]

89
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:20,417
[in English] My father's body.
It is not decomposed.

90
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:22,962
How can this be?

91
00:08:27,633 --> 00:08:29,843
A second miracle has occurred.

92
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:33,305
Praise be to God.

93
00:08:40,312 --> 00:08:43,649
Surely my father will be sainted now.

94
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:51,031
Come, let us give our thanks
to our Lord Jesus Christ. Come.

95
00:08:56,829 --> 00:08:57,663
A miracle.

96
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:04,920
And you were there to witness it.

97
00:09:33,157 --> 00:09:35,117
You have grieved long enough.

98
00:09:37,202 --> 00:09:38,037
Get out.

99
00:09:40,122 --> 00:09:42,666
I have two stories for you.

100
00:09:44,335 --> 00:09:46,003
Tell me which one you prefer.

101
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,588
I said get out!

102
00:09:48,339 --> 00:09:51,467
I am your Empress and you will obey me!

103
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:58,557
In my first story, the Empress grieved
for her beloved Romanos.

104
00:09:59,725 --> 00:10:03,020
Then, to the great joy of her people,

105
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:07,733
she fell in love
with the most esteemed General Maniakes.

106
00:10:09,151 --> 00:10:13,113
They quickly married
and he became Emperor.

107
00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:15,366
That will never happen.

108
00:10:15,449 --> 00:10:17,451
He did not love her either at first,

109
00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:21,789
but she found so many ways to delight him

110
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:26,543
that, well,
they developed an understanding.

111
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:29,296
A mythic tale.

112
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:36,428
The second story…

113
00:10:38,347 --> 00:10:40,057
I do not like so much.

114
00:10:41,225 --> 00:10:44,561
The Empress was so overcome with grief,

115
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:48,232
that she took a knife

116
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:55,572
and drew its blade down the length
of her beautiful arms.

117
00:10:56,865 --> 00:11:00,953
And General Maniakes still became Emperor.

118
00:11:02,955 --> 00:11:05,207
He just found another wife.

119
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:12,172
[Harald sighs]

120
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:22,516
-[grunts]
-[cawing]

121
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:42,703
When is my execution?

122
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:45,080
[guard] Tomorrow. Midday.

123
00:11:45,164 --> 00:11:46,957
[footsteps receding]

124
00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:50,836
[wings flapping]

125
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,383
[metal creaks]

126
00:11:57,718 --> 00:11:59,761
[caws softly]

127
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:14,735
You want more?

128
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:16,820
Bring me your friends.

129
00:12:21,909 --> 00:12:24,328
[people chattering indistinctly]

130
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:33,170
[Svein] My father has told me
about your travels, Leif Eriksson.

131
00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:37,132
Tell me about Constantinople.
Are the walls as great as I have heard?

132
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:40,135
-They're taller than trees.
-[scoffs]

133
00:12:40,219 --> 00:12:43,388
And thick as three boats set end to end.

134
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:46,475
-[exclaims softly]
-[Magnus] King Canute!

135
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,396
I prayed fervently
that I would not miss your visit.

136
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:55,651
And God has answered
all your prayers, Magnus.

137
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,239
Magnus is just back from Jomsborg.

138
00:13:01,532 --> 00:13:02,991
How was your mission?

139
00:13:03,075 --> 00:13:06,578
Successful.
I recovered my father's remains

140
00:13:06,662 --> 00:13:09,665
and by a miracle of God
his body has not decomposed.

141
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:12,543
A miracle indeed.

142
00:13:13,168 --> 00:13:16,505
I would not have believed it either
had I not seen it with my own eyes,

143
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:19,174
and it has been confirmed by the Church.

144
00:13:20,551 --> 00:13:21,802
You were in Jomsborg?

145
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:23,679
Yes.

146
00:13:25,264 --> 00:13:26,598
[Canute] Leif was just there.

147
00:13:28,183 --> 00:13:30,060
To try and find his sister.

148
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:34,106
-Your sister?
-Freydis Eriksdotter.

149
00:13:37,526 --> 00:13:39,319
Then you saw the devastation.

150
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:43,699
It appears a great plague had ravaged
the place before we arrived.

151
00:13:44,616 --> 00:13:48,453
All we could find was a shrine to her.
You must have seen it.

152
00:13:50,414 --> 00:13:51,582
I saw many things.

153
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:56,795
Including your ship sunk in the harbor.

154
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:03,635
Destroyed by a landslide
as we were departing.

155
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:06,597
Landslide. Really?

156
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:10,726
What are the odds?

157
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:14,855
We were most fortunate to have survived.

158
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:18,066
I truly believe it was the hand of God.

159
00:14:21,737 --> 00:14:22,571
Indeed.

160
00:14:32,581 --> 00:14:35,375
Hilde, I must help Freydis.

161
00:14:35,459 --> 00:14:37,294
If you try, he will kill you.

162
00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:40,797
Let me worry about that.
Just tell me where he has taken Harald.

163
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:41,798
I do not know.

164
00:14:49,139 --> 00:14:50,223
I think you do.

165
00:14:57,439 --> 00:15:01,485
Lang returned today with goods
from the Kalaallit people in the North.

166
00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:03,487
They are good people.

167
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:07,824
If Erik left Harald with them,
he will be taken care of.

168
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:09,159
How do I get there?

169
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:11,578
By boat, it is at least a week's journey.

170
00:15:11,662 --> 00:15:14,373
-And on foot?
-It is much longer.

171
00:15:14,456 --> 00:15:16,541
You must cross the mountains.

172
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:22,673
I need to see Freydis before I go.

173
00:15:43,819 --> 00:15:45,320
You will pay for this, Father.

174
00:15:52,077 --> 00:15:54,204
I called a meeting of your people.

175
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:58,417
I told them what will happen
when the cold winds blow

176
00:15:59,418 --> 00:16:03,714
and I made it clear what will happen
if they choose to fight against me.

177
00:16:05,424 --> 00:16:07,342
They have agreed to follow me.

178
00:16:07,426 --> 00:16:08,844
You gave them no choice.

179
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:11,138
Because you gave me no choice.

180
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:18,437
You say you're following a vision.

181
00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:21,231
Well, I'm following mine.

182
00:16:24,443 --> 00:16:27,029
I prayed for salvation.

183
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:30,782
And the gods sent me you.

184
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:42,461
Leif used to say, "You created this prison
for yourself because of your actions."

185
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:46,548
Now I see he is right.

186
00:16:57,309 --> 00:17:00,562
It will grow cold tonight, daughter.

187
00:17:01,271 --> 00:17:03,398
It is a lot warmer in the longhouse.

188
00:17:03,482 --> 00:17:06,485
I have been cold before.
You will never break me.

189
00:17:06,568 --> 00:17:08,737
I do not need to break you.

190
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:12,991
Just your followers.

191
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:23,335
[audience laughing]

192
00:17:24,336 --> 00:17:27,506
[flute music playing]

193
00:17:28,090 --> 00:17:30,425
-[puppet neighs]
-[all laughing]

194
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:33,512
[puppet Canute] I demand
you come out and fight.

195
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:34,888
[puppet Edmund] Archers!

196
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:38,266
-[puppet 3 exclaims]
-[puppet Canute laughs evilly]

197
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,811
[flute music continues]

198
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:46,024
[puppeteer imitating wood creaking]

199
00:17:46,858 --> 00:17:48,902
[all cheering]

200
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:51,404
[yelling and cheering]

201
00:17:52,656 --> 00:17:53,657
[people chuckling]

202
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:56,993
[puppets] All hail, Canute.
The new King of England.

203
00:17:57,494 --> 00:18:00,372
[audience laughing and cheering]

204
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:07,838
[puppet Canute] Emma of Normandy.
Be my wife, help me rule the North.

205
00:18:09,131 --> 00:18:11,299
[puppet Emma] Yes, my king.

206
00:18:14,136 --> 00:18:16,805
[audience exclaiming and chuckling]

207
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:21,643
-[puppet Emma yelps]
-[all laughing]

208
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:27,023
[bell chiming]

209
00:18:27,107 --> 00:18:31,444
-[puppet chanting in Latin]
-[audience laughs]

210
00:18:34,698 --> 00:18:40,036
[in English] I am His Holiness the Pope,
God's most esteemed messenger on Earth.

211
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,622
And, uh, who are you?

212
00:18:42,706 --> 00:18:47,586
[puppet Canute] I am Canute the Great.
King of the Northern Empire.

213
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:49,296
[gasps] Oh!

214
00:18:49,838 --> 00:18:51,298
[audience cheering and laughing]

215
00:18:51,381 --> 00:18:53,175
[puppet Pope sputtering] The power!

216
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:02,642
[puppet Canute] Is there somebody here
who has betrayed me?

217
00:19:02,726 --> 00:19:04,978
Because this feast is not over

218
00:19:05,061 --> 00:19:07,606
until I have chopped off
at least one head.

219
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,858
[all laughing]

220
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,283
-[puppeteer chuckles awkwardly]
-[audience laughs]

221
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:29,127
[people murmuring]

222
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:37,844
As someone who is considering
converting to your faith,

223
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,306
I would find it inspirational

224
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:44,392
if I could witness
your father's miracle myself.

225
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:48,063
Would you mind if I see Olaf's body?

226
00:19:50,148 --> 00:19:51,066
Not at all.

227
00:19:53,068 --> 00:19:55,070
Bishop Grimketel can arrange that.

228
00:19:55,195 --> 00:19:58,615
No. I'm afraid it is not possible.

229
00:19:59,449 --> 00:20:01,618
Olaf's body is now considered sacred.

230
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:03,954
During his beatification,

231
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:06,665
it must only be tended to
by the most reverent nuns

232
00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:09,417
and protected until we receive
confirmation from Rome

233
00:20:09,501 --> 00:20:10,877
of Olaf's canonization.

234
00:20:10,961 --> 00:20:12,295
Hmm.

235
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:13,338
Rules.

236
00:20:17,092 --> 00:20:19,886
Family. Friends.

237
00:20:22,097 --> 00:20:24,224
Thank you for joining me here in Kattegat,

238
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:29,062
under this roof where so many great things
have happened for me.

239
00:20:30,522 --> 00:20:31,523
For our people.

240
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:34,776
And perhaps, for one of you.

241
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:38,530
Is that not why you are here?

242
00:20:40,115 --> 00:20:42,951
To learn if your destiny
has a throne in it.

243
00:20:48,832 --> 00:20:52,502
Prince Edward and Prince Alfred,
sons of Æthelred and Emma.

244
00:20:55,046 --> 00:20:57,340
And Svein, already a king.

245
00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:05,640
And Harefoot, chomping at the bit.

246
00:21:07,225 --> 00:21:12,063
Willing to slay a thousand Wends
to prove that he is ready to wear a crown.

247
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:20,238
Am I forgetting someone?

248
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:22,907
-Harthacanute.
-Oh.

249
00:21:25,577 --> 00:21:26,411
Of course…

250
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:29,372
Harthacanute.

251
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:35,003
You too have a seat
at this table of princes.

252
00:21:36,212 --> 00:21:37,088
King-to-be.

253
00:21:39,007 --> 00:21:40,008
Or maybe not.

254
00:21:43,595 --> 00:21:44,429
Leif Eriksson.

255
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:50,894
You have been to many places,
the Rus, Egypt, Constantinople, Sicily.

256
00:21:52,896 --> 00:21:56,775
And you have met
with many powerful rulers, have you not?

257
00:21:57,525 --> 00:21:58,568
One or two.

258
00:21:59,194 --> 00:22:03,907
Tell me, in all your experience
what makes a king successful?

259
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:05,825
Strength.

260
00:22:07,869 --> 00:22:09,120
Two types of strength.

261
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:12,207
Two types. Tell us.

262
00:22:12,874 --> 00:22:15,418
Strength of mind. Intelligence.

263
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:18,755
[Canute] Intelligence. Interesting.

264
00:22:21,049 --> 00:22:22,967
Edward, stand before your king.

265
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:32,727
Your father was a great king.

266
00:22:33,770 --> 00:22:38,024
And your mother, we know,
a great queen twice over.

267
00:22:38,942 --> 00:22:40,485
Do you agree with Leif…

268
00:22:41,194 --> 00:22:44,489
that intelligence is an important quality
in a king?

269
00:22:44,572 --> 00:22:48,451
I do, Your Highness.
The most important quality.

270
00:22:48,535 --> 00:22:53,915
And do you believe that you would make
a great king of England?

271
00:22:54,749 --> 00:22:57,627
-I would make an excellent king, my lord.
-[Harefoot sighs]

272
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:58,711
[Canute] But wait.

273
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:02,549
Leif, you said
there were two types of strength.

274
00:23:03,133 --> 00:23:04,509
What is the second?

275
00:23:05,927 --> 00:23:07,512
Physical strength.

276
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:11,891
The power to defend your position.

277
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:15,603
And your words.

278
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:19,816
And who here possesses that strength?

279
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,734
I can answer that for you, Father.

280
00:23:27,532 --> 00:23:32,412
There is no prince in this room
physically stronger than me.

281
00:23:34,164 --> 00:23:34,998
I agree.

282
00:23:36,833 --> 00:23:41,337
But Leif, which of these two strengths
is more important?

283
00:23:42,338 --> 00:23:43,590
That depends.

284
00:23:43,673 --> 00:23:44,841
On what?

285
00:23:46,426 --> 00:23:47,385
The person.

286
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:50,471
Interesting.

287
00:23:53,558 --> 00:23:57,353
Then let us decide
who has the real strength

288
00:23:58,104 --> 00:24:01,399
to become ruler of England.

289
00:24:03,234 --> 00:24:05,069
[all exclaiming]

290
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:11,242
You must stop this.

291
00:24:12,202 --> 00:24:15,455
-[yells]
-And who will stop this when I am gone?

292
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:17,373
[both grunting]

293
00:24:21,044 --> 00:24:22,295
[all gasping]

294
00:24:24,088 --> 00:24:25,089
[Emma] No!

295
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:28,218
[Harefoot panting]

296
00:24:37,518 --> 00:24:40,313
I think it is obvious
who the next King of England should be.

297
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:43,650
It is me.

298
00:24:44,776 --> 00:24:47,153
[all chuckling]

299
00:24:47,779 --> 00:24:49,614
I will be the next King of England.

300
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:52,283
Is that so, my youngest son?

301
00:24:52,367 --> 00:24:53,576
It is.

302
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:55,495
So you would kill us all, little brother?

303
00:24:55,578 --> 00:25:00,124
No. Svein has no interest in England,
so I'd leave him in Norway.

304
00:25:00,208 --> 00:25:02,543
-[Aelfgifu chuckles]
-Thank you, Your Highness.

305
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:06,506
[Harthacanute] Next, I'd let you kill
both Edward and Alfred,

306
00:25:06,589 --> 00:25:10,134
for left to their own devices
they are extremely dangerous.

307
00:25:10,218 --> 00:25:14,931
And after I have done you this service,
what is to stop me from killing you?

308
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,849
Do you want to try and find out?

309
00:25:20,645 --> 00:25:24,023
My huscarls are the strongest Vikings
in the world.

310
00:25:24,107 --> 00:25:26,734
That is why I will be King of England.

311
00:25:26,818 --> 00:25:27,694
[all chuckle]

312
00:25:27,777 --> 00:25:29,821
[Harthacanute] Now I'm tired of this game.

313
00:25:30,571 --> 00:25:33,116
Do you think it is a game, Harthacanute?

314
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:36,619
Of course it is, Father.
We already have a king… you.

315
00:25:37,996 --> 00:25:39,289
[Leif] To Canute the Great.

316
00:25:41,833 --> 00:25:43,668
The first Viking king of England.

317
00:25:44,544 --> 00:25:47,463
[all] To Canute the Great! Skol!

318
00:25:51,134 --> 00:25:51,968
Thank you.

319
00:25:56,264 --> 00:25:57,765
But I will not live forever.

320
00:26:00,727 --> 00:26:02,562
Therefore, this is my command.

321
00:26:05,023 --> 00:26:10,611
Harthacanute, you will go to Denmark,
where you will become its king.

322
00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:15,616
Prince Edward and Alfred,
you will return to Normandy

323
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:17,827
to continue your work there.

324
00:26:19,579 --> 00:26:20,788
And Harefoot…

325
00:26:21,748 --> 00:26:26,586
you will become
Harthacanute's regent in Denmark.

326
00:26:29,339 --> 00:26:30,381
His guardian?

327
00:26:30,465 --> 00:26:31,382
Yes.

328
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,347
And what about England?

329
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:43,478
There will be no King of England.

330
00:26:43,561 --> 00:26:47,523
[all murmuring]

331
00:26:53,529 --> 00:26:55,907
It will be ruled by a queen.

332
00:27:02,914 --> 00:27:04,290
All hail Queen Emma.

333
00:27:04,374 --> 00:27:06,209
All hail Queen Emma.

334
00:27:06,292 --> 00:27:07,543
[all repeating]

335
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:13,383
Queen Emma.

336
00:27:17,011 --> 00:27:18,012
[Harald grunting]

337
00:27:39,033 --> 00:27:40,993
[wings flapping]

338
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:45,164
[crows cawing]

339
00:27:57,427 --> 00:27:58,428
No fighting.

340
00:27:59,429 --> 00:28:00,680
There's plenty for all.

341
00:28:22,410 --> 00:28:24,495
[cawing continues]

342
00:29:15,463 --> 00:29:16,714
[guard 1] What news?

343
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:19,717
[guard 2] We have a new emperor.

344
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:22,762
General Maniakes has married
the Empress Zoe.

345
00:29:28,351 --> 00:29:29,268
Sleep well.

346
00:29:31,521 --> 00:29:32,939
We have a big day ahead.

347
00:29:37,944 --> 00:29:40,279
[trader] We can now get
the same ornaments and skins

348
00:29:40,363 --> 00:29:41,614
from other settlements,

349
00:29:41,697 --> 00:29:43,032
closer to Iceland.

350
00:29:44,617 --> 00:29:45,910
If you have nothing to trade,

351
00:29:45,993 --> 00:29:48,454
there is no reason
to come all this way anymore.

352
00:29:48,538 --> 00:29:52,250
I have been keeping this until last.

353
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:03,386
Now here is a reason to come back again.

354
00:30:11,561 --> 00:30:12,854
This is impressive.

355
00:30:14,939 --> 00:30:15,898
Where did you get it?

356
00:30:15,982 --> 00:30:19,110
People who make these swords
live with me now.

357
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:22,029
And we will be making
many more of those in the future.

358
00:30:34,208 --> 00:30:37,753
Lang. Erik says to get a drink.

359
00:30:48,598 --> 00:30:49,849
Freydis.

360
00:30:49,932 --> 00:30:51,309
Stígr.

361
00:30:52,476 --> 00:30:53,769
Have you found Harald?

362
00:30:54,729 --> 00:30:57,064
Mother believes
he's with the Kalaallit people.

363
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:03,237
They will be traveling
to their winter home soon.

364
00:31:03,321 --> 00:31:05,114
I need to get out and find him.

365
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:08,701
Freydis, even if you could reach him
and get back safely,

366
00:31:08,784 --> 00:31:10,036
we'd still be prisoners.

367
00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:11,621
I am his mother.

368
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:15,416
I can find Harald.
But only you can free us.

369
00:31:18,294 --> 00:31:19,337
[breath trembling]

370
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:23,591
When are the traders leaving?

371
00:31:23,674 --> 00:31:24,884
[Stígr] In the morning.

372
00:31:26,844 --> 00:31:27,929
Find my son.

373
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,891
I will find us a boat and a new captain.

374
00:31:46,822 --> 00:31:49,241
[lock clicks]

375
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:58,292
Go. Do what you must for your people.

376
00:32:00,544 --> 00:32:02,088
-Mother! [sobbing]
-[cries softly]

377
00:32:39,041 --> 00:32:40,042
Where were you?

378
00:32:43,129 --> 00:32:44,213
I was not invited.

379
00:32:47,717 --> 00:32:49,802
He made the boy child King of Denmark.

380
00:32:52,221 --> 00:32:54,932
And me? Nothing but a servant.

381
00:32:59,061 --> 00:33:01,230
There's much to learn from the boy child.

382
00:33:02,189 --> 00:33:04,400
For a start he does not throw tantrums.

383
00:33:06,444 --> 00:33:08,738
He also made Emma ruler of England.

384
00:33:08,821 --> 00:33:09,989
Hmm.

385
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:12,116
It's not surprising.

386
00:33:16,162 --> 00:33:17,872
And that does not upset you?

387
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,000
If I were to let
every small thing upset me,

388
00:33:22,877 --> 00:33:25,129
I would not have accomplished
all that I have.

389
00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:32,094
[sighs] There are always advantages…

390
00:33:33,512 --> 00:33:36,807
to any situation
if you keep your wits about you.

391
00:33:39,602 --> 00:33:40,436
Such as?

392
00:33:42,063 --> 00:33:42,897
No.

393
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:45,524
You tell me.

394
00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:01,415
My rivals for the throne will be
in Denmark and Normandy.

395
00:34:01,499 --> 00:34:02,917
Mmm-hmm.

396
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,754
What else?

397
00:34:10,007 --> 00:34:11,217
After Canute dies…

398
00:34:14,011 --> 00:34:16,097
what he wants becomes irrelevant.

399
00:34:19,141 --> 00:34:22,019
Isn't that a better feeling
than throwing a plate of food?

400
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:24,563
[chuckles]

401
00:34:34,782 --> 00:34:36,283
[exclaims softly]

402
00:34:36,951 --> 00:34:37,868
Who's there?

403
00:34:39,537 --> 00:34:40,538
Can't sleep?

404
00:34:42,915 --> 00:34:44,166
Me neither.

405
00:34:50,005 --> 00:34:52,633
I keep thinking about the rocks
that destroyed your ship.

406
00:34:55,136 --> 00:34:57,221
Didn't look like the hand of God to me.

407
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:00,891
It looked more like the hand of my sister.

408
00:35:13,237 --> 00:35:19,076
It also… didn't look like
there'd been a plague.

409
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:23,789
It looked like there'd been a fight.

410
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,879
-Tell me.
-[blade scrapes]

411
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,841
What did you see?

412
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:37,928
[hesitating] I… I saw…

413
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,806
[sighs]

414
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,061
He is the devil. Magnus.
Evil runs through his veins.

415
00:35:46,729 --> 00:35:48,439
It is not his father we brought back.

416
00:35:48,981 --> 00:35:52,735
And it was not a plague as he said.
He poisoned them.

417
00:35:53,694 --> 00:35:56,530
Only a few survived and they escaped
on one of our ships.

418
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,074
Freydis…

419
00:36:02,036 --> 00:36:03,245
Was she one of them?

420
00:36:06,248 --> 00:36:09,418
I never saw her. Only her grave.

421
00:36:12,421 --> 00:36:13,923
So Magnus poisoned her.

422
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:17,676
Yes.

423
00:36:26,977 --> 00:36:30,231
He has already left. After the feast.

424
00:36:32,274 --> 00:36:33,108
Where?

425
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:38,572
To the North.
To gather the support of the Jarls.

426
00:36:44,995 --> 00:36:47,456
[crowds chattering indistinctly]

427
00:36:58,133 --> 00:36:59,885
[men muttering indistinctly]

428
00:37:09,019 --> 00:37:10,104
Safe travels, Father.

429
00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:19,363
I still cannot believe
you're sending me to babysit.

430
00:37:20,823 --> 00:37:23,284
You have much to learn
about ruling a country.

431
00:37:24,994 --> 00:37:27,746
Being regent will give you
that opportunity.

432
00:37:30,124 --> 00:37:31,166
I understand.

433
00:37:45,347 --> 00:37:46,432
Goodbye, Canute.

434
00:37:49,351 --> 00:37:52,896
I am under no illusion who has been
ruling Norway all these years.

435
00:37:55,149 --> 00:37:57,776
You're free to return to Mercia
if you wish.

436
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,948
Thank you, but I have made this my home.

437
00:38:03,824 --> 00:38:05,576
And I have reasons to remain.

438
00:38:11,165 --> 00:38:11,999
Good reasons.

439
00:38:27,473 --> 00:38:28,557
-[Emma] Alfred.
-Mother.

440
00:38:40,611 --> 00:38:42,738
I can't believe he's sending me
back to Normandy.

441
00:38:44,698 --> 00:38:47,951
He's not sending you back. I am.

442
00:38:49,536 --> 00:38:50,579
You're not ready.

443
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:56,126
Your time is coming, but it is not now.

444
00:38:57,419 --> 00:38:58,379
You must trust me.

445
00:39:01,256 --> 00:39:05,052
When I gave birth to you,
there were already several

446
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:07,388
of Æthelred's sons
ahead of you for the crown.

447
00:39:09,431 --> 00:39:14,103
But when I held you in my arms,
I knew you would be King.

448
00:39:15,854 --> 00:39:16,772
I still do.

449
00:39:21,735 --> 00:39:23,404
I brought this from Rome for you.

450
00:39:24,405 --> 00:39:28,617
Inside is a piece of wood
from the cross that Jesus died on.

451
00:39:30,369 --> 00:39:33,205
I'm giving it to you with my solemn oath.

452
00:39:33,831 --> 00:39:36,875
One day you will be King of England.

453
00:39:38,127 --> 00:39:39,628
You must be ready for it.

454
00:39:53,225 --> 00:39:55,978
-[Harthacanute] Mother.
-[Emma chuckles]

455
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:03,193
[sighs] Answer me truthfully.

456
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:05,571
-Will you miss me?
-No.

457
00:40:06,572 --> 00:40:08,532
No. Why not?

458
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:10,492
Because when I want to be with you

459
00:40:10,576 --> 00:40:13,328
all I have to do is shut my eyes
and feel you in my heart.

460
00:40:23,172 --> 00:40:24,006
Go.

461
00:40:29,303 --> 00:40:30,679
Please take care of my son.

462
00:40:31,221 --> 00:40:32,890
I will let no harm come to him.

463
00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:35,976
Thank you, Harefoot.

464
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:44,193
[indistinct chatter]

465
00:40:51,158 --> 00:40:53,452
[men chattering indistinctly]

466
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:58,457
[Godwin] Queen Aelfgifu.

467
00:41:04,338 --> 00:41:05,297
A word of warning.

468
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:10,427
I know. Magnus. I'm fully aware
of the threat on my doorstep.

469
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:13,388
We would have made a good team.

470
00:41:14,181 --> 00:41:16,934
No, we would have devoured each other.

471
00:41:17,935 --> 00:41:19,269
[chuckles]

472
00:41:28,695 --> 00:41:30,030
Thank you, Queen Aelfgifu.

473
00:41:30,656 --> 00:41:33,825
You future is about to become
very difficult.

474
00:41:34,785 --> 00:41:37,329
I pray you have the strength to handle it.

475
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:40,207
So do I.

476
00:41:50,133 --> 00:41:50,968
[man] My queen.

477
00:42:35,012 --> 00:42:37,347
[Harald sighs deeply]

478
00:42:57,534 --> 00:42:58,910
All right, my friends.

479
00:43:03,624 --> 00:43:05,792
Where do you go
when you've lost everything?

480
00:43:09,838 --> 00:43:11,006
You go back home.

481
00:43:30,067 --> 00:43:32,819
-Until the next summer, my friend.
-[trader 1] Thank you.

482
00:43:35,447 --> 00:43:36,281
Erik.

483
00:43:37,783 --> 00:43:39,451
-[trader 2] Keep well.
-Goodbye.

484
00:43:50,420 --> 00:43:51,421
Daughter!

485
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,677
How was your first night in the cold?

486
00:44:07,896 --> 00:44:12,234
Husband, you are needed in the house.

487
00:44:20,325 --> 00:44:21,326
Take this.

488
00:44:37,634 --> 00:44:38,844
Do you know who I am?

489
00:44:42,347 --> 00:44:45,642
I will be going with you to Kattegat,
do you have a problem with that?

490
00:44:47,060 --> 00:44:47,894
No.

491
00:44:50,230 --> 00:44:51,064
Good.

492
00:45:28,602 --> 00:45:29,603
Move!

493
00:45:55,962 --> 00:45:57,464
Emperor Maniakes.

494
00:46:18,485 --> 00:46:21,655
[people murmuring in Greek]

495
00:46:21,738 --> 00:46:25,325
[people exclaiming]

496
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:37,546
-[woman 1, in English] Fire!
-[woman 2] Quickly, go! This way.

497
00:46:37,629 --> 00:46:40,549
[people panicking in the distance]

498
00:46:51,601 --> 00:46:53,061
[roars]

499
00:46:53,144 --> 00:46:55,605
-[grunts]
-[yells]

500
00:46:58,900 --> 00:47:01,027
[grunts and yells]

501
00:47:04,781 --> 00:47:06,449
[panting]

502
00:47:14,124 --> 00:47:17,836
The prisoner has escaped.
Emperor, Harald has escaped.

503
00:47:22,132 --> 00:47:24,301
[Harald] Maniakes!

504
00:47:27,470 --> 00:47:28,888
Murderer!

505
00:47:29,973 --> 00:47:30,890
No!

506
00:47:31,975 --> 00:47:34,269
Come face your executioner.

507
00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:36,062
Leave him for me.

508
00:47:43,903 --> 00:47:46,031
[Harald yells]

509
00:47:46,990 --> 00:47:49,326
[both grunting]

510
00:48:17,854 --> 00:48:19,731
[both grunting]

511
00:48:31,326 --> 00:48:33,078
[yells]

512
00:48:37,874 --> 00:48:39,918
[both yelling]

513
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,259
[breathing heavily]
