1
00:00:06,594 --> 00:00:08,388
{\an8}[man shouting indistinctly]

2
00:00:28,742 --> 00:00:30,368
[birds chirping]

3
00:00:42,422 --> 00:00:43,423
[grunts]

4
00:00:56,186 --> 00:00:57,187
[crows cawing]

5
00:01:03,109 --> 00:01:04,486
[breathing heavily]

6
00:01:12,035 --> 00:01:12,869
Freydis!

7
00:01:21,294 --> 00:01:23,463
[Jomsviking 1] Where is Freydis?
Where is she?

8
00:01:23,546 --> 00:01:26,800
- [Jomsviking 2] Freydis! Where is she?
- [people clamoring]

9
00:01:26,883 --> 00:01:28,093
[woman whimpering]

10
00:01:30,011 --> 00:01:32,138
- [man] I don't know!
- Traitor!

11
00:01:32,222 --> 00:01:33,348
She's not here!

12
00:01:33,973 --> 00:01:35,350
[people screaming]

13
00:01:37,894 --> 00:01:39,270
[woman gasping]

14
00:01:40,146 --> 00:01:42,315
- [Jomsviking] Where is she hiding?
- She's not here.

15
00:01:44,651 --> 00:01:45,485
Please.

16
00:01:45,568 --> 00:01:47,779
It does no good looking for her here.

17
00:01:57,580 --> 00:01:58,998
Where else would she be?

18
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:01,626
I don't know.

19
00:02:04,295 --> 00:02:05,130
I do.

20
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:30,321
Where exactly did you see her?

21
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:32,407
She was over there.

22
00:02:36,369 --> 00:02:38,371
Cover the west side. Let's move forward.

23
00:02:38,454 --> 00:02:39,455
Nobody's here.

24
00:02:53,303 --> 00:02:54,846
[Jomsviking 1] We found something.

25
00:02:54,929 --> 00:02:55,847
[Jomsviking 2] Here!

26
00:03:02,812 --> 00:03:04,063
What about the body?

27
00:03:04,731 --> 00:03:07,025
No. But there are wolf tracks.

28
00:03:33,009 --> 00:03:34,636
{\an8}[woman exclaims]

29
00:03:35,345 --> 00:03:36,804
{\an8}[women laughing]

30
00:03:42,477 --> 00:03:44,479
[both moaning]

31
00:03:48,191 --> 00:03:49,275
[both panting]

32
00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:51,361
[both laughing]

33
00:03:53,696 --> 00:03:56,324
I've never known a woman to laugh so much.

34
00:03:56,741 --> 00:03:57,867
[both laugh]

35
00:03:58,493 --> 00:03:59,535
How can I not?

36
00:04:01,329 --> 00:04:02,372
I'm free!

37
00:04:02,997 --> 00:04:04,457
[both laughing]

38
00:04:06,793 --> 00:04:08,378
[women giggling]

39
00:04:09,587 --> 00:04:11,881
Batu! Come join us.

40
00:04:15,677 --> 00:04:16,678
[water gushing]

41
00:04:22,016 --> 00:04:23,268
Allfather.

42
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:31,776
[yells]

43
00:05:04,142 --> 00:05:05,643
[Harald] Pechenegs.

44
00:05:05,727 --> 00:05:07,270
If we survive the falls,

45
00:05:08,313 --> 00:05:09,814
then we have to survive them.

46
00:05:14,694 --> 00:05:16,446
[Harald] Pack up. We're moving on.

47
00:05:17,363 --> 00:05:19,407
[Batu] You have seen the falls?

48
00:05:19,490 --> 00:05:20,366
[Harald] We have.

49
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,870
I'm not going to lie to you.

50
00:05:23,953 --> 00:05:25,538
It will be a challenge.

51
00:05:25,621 --> 00:05:27,874
We'll have to prepare ourselves
to go down it.

52
00:05:28,624 --> 00:05:29,917
When do we leave?

53
00:05:30,001 --> 00:05:32,086
- Tomorrow.
- [Cadlin] What?

54
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:34,881
No! Why so soon?

55
00:05:34,964 --> 00:05:36,674
The water level is dropping.

56
00:05:36,758 --> 00:05:39,802
If we wait longer,
the boat will not make it over the falls.

57
00:05:39,886 --> 00:05:41,721
And we will all be trapped here.

58
00:05:41,804 --> 00:05:43,097
Is that such a bad thing?

59
00:05:44,057 --> 00:05:46,267
Batu, the longer we stay here,

60
00:05:46,351 --> 00:05:48,686
the greater the chance
the Pechenegs will find us.

61
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:50,855
[Brigtoc] Then we portage.

62
00:05:50,938 --> 00:05:53,900
The Varangian said
the Pechenegs have moved east.

63
00:05:53,983 --> 00:05:54,817
[Leif] He lied.

64
00:05:54,901 --> 00:05:57,070
There are many camps
visible from the falls.

65
00:05:58,446 --> 00:05:59,947
Could see fires on the plains below.

66
00:06:00,031 --> 00:06:02,867
We've risked enough
camping here the last few nights.

67
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:04,702
The sooner we move, the better.

68
00:06:05,286 --> 00:06:07,830
Then I am not sure we'll be joining you.

69
00:06:08,915 --> 00:06:09,749
What?

70
00:06:14,754 --> 00:06:15,588
Why not?

71
00:06:16,547 --> 00:06:18,383
I am not ready to die.

72
00:06:19,425 --> 00:06:20,426
[sighs]

73
00:06:23,429 --> 00:06:25,973
You would all rather risk the Pechenegs?

74
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,895
They haven't found us yet.

75
00:06:31,687 --> 00:06:34,273
And you can't tell us
the fall is without risk.

76
00:06:34,357 --> 00:06:35,858
Nothing is without risk!

77
00:06:36,901 --> 00:06:39,821
All we have done
for the last two moons has been with risk.

78
00:06:39,904 --> 00:06:42,198
But before, we had no choice. Now, we do.

79
00:06:43,408 --> 00:06:44,283
I choose to stay.

80
00:06:46,994 --> 00:06:47,829
I do too.

81
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:49,831
[Harald sighs]

82
00:06:54,127 --> 00:06:55,253
Batu?

83
00:06:57,046 --> 00:06:57,880
I'm not sure.

84
00:06:59,882 --> 00:07:00,716
Elena?

85
00:07:01,384 --> 00:07:03,219
I share their feelings.

86
00:07:04,679 --> 00:07:05,721
[sighs]

87
00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:07,640
What is all this?

88
00:07:08,391 --> 00:07:11,102
We have known for months
this day will come.

89
00:07:12,353 --> 00:07:15,356
And now, when it is finally here,

90
00:07:16,482 --> 00:07:19,026
you are not willing to meet the challenge?

91
00:07:20,486 --> 00:07:21,487
I will not wait here

92
00:07:21,571 --> 00:07:25,616
and let the Pechenegs
make a flute out of my coward's bones!

93
00:07:26,409 --> 00:07:27,910
I'll go by myself if I must.

94
00:07:27,994 --> 00:07:28,828
You can't.

95
00:07:31,247 --> 00:07:32,540
What do you mean I can't?

96
00:07:33,291 --> 00:07:36,794
- I have no fear of going by myself.
- It is not about your fear, Harald.

97
00:07:37,753 --> 00:07:39,172
We need at least six rowers,

98
00:07:40,631 --> 00:07:43,009
and we must lessen the weight
of the boat by 50 skippund

99
00:07:43,092 --> 00:07:45,261
or it'll not clear the base of the falls.

100
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:49,807
Fifty skippund?

101
00:07:51,184 --> 00:07:52,435
So we lose the mast.

102
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,688
The mast weighs maybe 15 skippund.

103
00:07:59,859 --> 00:08:01,110
[sighs]

104
00:08:01,861 --> 00:08:05,573
No. If I lose my furs,
I have no reason to go on.

105
00:08:07,950 --> 00:08:09,744
Then you are just like everyone else.

106
00:08:10,995 --> 00:08:11,996
[sighs]

107
00:08:20,671 --> 00:08:22,215
[indistinct chatter]

108
00:08:28,387 --> 00:08:30,348
[Gudrid breathing heavily]

109
00:08:33,309 --> 00:08:34,644
The trial will start soon.

110
00:08:35,728 --> 00:08:37,355
Where I will be found guilty.

111
00:08:37,438 --> 00:08:38,439
You are guilty.

112
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,068
[voice breaks] What were you thinking?

113
00:08:42,151 --> 00:08:43,653
And what are <i>you</i> thinking?

114
00:08:44,362 --> 00:08:47,031
Following a monster
who massacres people while they pray,

115
00:08:47,114 --> 00:08:49,742
instead of the gods
you've trusted all your life?

116
00:08:49,825 --> 00:08:50,868
Things have changed.

117
00:08:53,079 --> 00:08:57,166
No, [sighs] not things, Mother.

118
00:08:58,876 --> 00:09:00,169
We have changed.

119
00:09:00,753 --> 00:09:02,129
[Harekr] Ready the prisoner.

120
00:09:05,132 --> 00:09:06,592
Please, Jorundr!

121
00:09:06,676 --> 00:09:07,802
Beg for leniency.

122
00:09:08,636 --> 00:09:09,470
For me.

123
00:09:10,429 --> 00:09:11,597
It is your only chance.

124
00:09:12,431 --> 00:09:14,392
Jorundr, please.

125
00:09:15,017 --> 00:09:17,270
Would my father have begged? Hmm?

126
00:09:33,411 --> 00:09:34,412
[Freydis grunts]

127
00:09:36,414 --> 00:09:40,084
She is burning with fever.
Get hot water and rags, quickly.

128
00:09:41,877 --> 00:09:44,213
My son. I must get my son…

129
00:09:44,797 --> 00:09:46,299
You must be quiet, Freydis.

130
00:09:47,049 --> 00:09:49,552
You are very ill
and Harekr is looking for you.

131
00:09:50,136 --> 00:09:52,888
He has my son. [groans] In Jomsborg.

132
00:09:52,972 --> 00:09:54,890
- [shushing]
- I must go back. I must get him…

133
00:09:55,558 --> 00:09:57,059
I am going to help you.

134
00:09:58,728 --> 00:10:02,189
You must bite on this
and try to remain silent.

135
00:10:02,273 --> 00:10:03,566
[whimpers]

136
00:10:07,194 --> 00:10:08,446
All right.

137
00:10:09,530 --> 00:10:11,741
[screams and cries]

138
00:10:14,285 --> 00:10:16,203
[Gytha] Thank you. You may go.

139
00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:20,249
Princess Gytha.

140
00:10:22,793 --> 00:10:26,380
- Earl Godwin.
- Do you know where I might find the queen?

141
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:30,343
In Winchester, I believe.

142
00:10:30,426 --> 00:10:32,803
She has gone to attend
to one of her properties.

143
00:10:33,596 --> 00:10:36,265
- When was this trip planned?
- [Gytha] I would not know.

144
00:10:36,807 --> 00:10:39,393
I offered to accompany her,
but she refused.

145
00:10:40,353 --> 00:10:42,813
She only took
a small group of guards and Agnarr.

146
00:10:44,065 --> 00:10:44,899
Agnarr?

147
00:10:45,608 --> 00:10:47,693
[indistinct chatter, laughter]

148
00:10:48,527 --> 00:10:49,820
[exhales deeply]

149
00:10:50,905 --> 00:10:52,073
[chatter stops]

150
00:10:59,830 --> 00:11:00,956
Are you lost?

151
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,541
[chatter continues]

152
00:11:07,254 --> 00:11:08,297
Do I look lost?

153
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,801
Not at all.

154
00:11:12,802 --> 00:11:15,262
I am, uh, looking for someone.

155
00:11:18,683 --> 00:11:20,893
- [goats bleating]
- [man talking indistinctly]

156
00:11:23,854 --> 00:11:24,772
[Agnarr] Nothing.

157
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:40,079
- [Leif] Are these edible?
- No!

158
00:11:41,622 --> 00:11:42,456
It's poisonous.

159
00:11:46,293 --> 00:11:47,795
Then why are you picking them?

160
00:11:49,004 --> 00:11:51,716
I am preparing to face a new enemy.

161
00:11:54,385 --> 00:11:55,344
Pain.

162
00:11:56,387 --> 00:11:57,221
Hmm.

163
00:11:57,722 --> 00:11:58,723
How bad is it?

164
00:11:59,432 --> 00:12:01,475
I am still able to manage it.

165
00:12:03,644 --> 00:12:04,979
But one day I may not.

166
00:12:11,277 --> 00:12:13,571
- What are these called?
- Atropa.

167
00:12:14,363 --> 00:12:17,074
Atropa? Like the goddess of fate?

168
00:12:17,783 --> 00:12:18,993
The oldest one.

169
00:12:20,411 --> 00:12:22,705
- The inflexible one.
- Hmm.

170
00:12:23,456 --> 00:12:26,876
It was Atropos
who chose the way a mortal dies.

171
00:12:28,836 --> 00:12:30,796
And cuts the thread of life.

172
00:12:34,842 --> 00:12:38,304
Do not worry about me, Leif Eriksson.

173
00:12:39,305 --> 00:12:42,308
- I know what is coming.
- No, you don't.

174
00:12:42,391 --> 00:12:43,267
I do.

175
00:12:45,227 --> 00:12:46,812
Nothing surprises me.

176
00:13:08,250 --> 00:13:09,835
[both breathing heavily]

177
00:13:29,647 --> 00:13:30,815
[Harekr] Friends.

178
00:13:31,524 --> 00:13:35,653
We are gathered here
for the trial of Jorundr Torvilsson,

179
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,617
who is charged
with the most terrible crime of murder.

180
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:43,244
[crowd gasp]

181
00:13:44,078 --> 00:13:46,622
He's summoned here
before the gods to speak the truth.

182
00:13:47,581 --> 00:13:48,999
I'm not afraid of the truth.

183
00:13:49,583 --> 00:13:52,586
Did you take food to Freydis
the night of her disappearance?

184
00:13:54,171 --> 00:13:55,256
You know I did.

185
00:13:56,507 --> 00:14:00,511
And later,
did you remove her body from the temple,

186
00:14:01,011 --> 00:14:04,181
wrapping it in a blanket,
placing it in a cart?

187
00:14:05,349 --> 00:14:07,977
- [crowd murmuring]
- I did, but she was not dead.

188
00:14:10,312 --> 00:14:13,315
Is this the blanket you used
to take her away from us?

189
00:14:17,862 --> 00:14:19,238
[crowd exclaim]

190
00:14:20,614 --> 00:14:22,157
That is from the child birth.

191
00:14:23,826 --> 00:14:25,411
Auor. Come, child.

192
00:14:32,251 --> 00:14:34,920
In the morning after Freydis disappeared,

193
00:14:35,004 --> 00:14:36,630
what did you find in the temple?

194
00:14:37,464 --> 00:14:41,886
The priestess was gone,
but I found a knife on the ground

195
00:14:42,636 --> 00:14:44,680
with blood on it.

196
00:14:45,264 --> 00:14:47,516
Freydis was given
a knife for the childbirth.

197
00:14:51,645 --> 00:14:53,480
[Harekr] Is this the knife you found?

198
00:14:55,149 --> 00:14:55,983
Yes.

199
00:14:57,484 --> 00:14:58,319
Good.

200
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,491
Is this your knife?

201
00:15:06,243 --> 00:15:07,077
It is.

202
00:15:07,161 --> 00:15:08,746
[crowd gasp]

203
00:15:08,829 --> 00:15:11,290
But I didn't use it on Freydis
and you know it.

204
00:15:12,207 --> 00:15:15,294
No, I do not know it.

205
00:15:15,377 --> 00:15:17,755
- I didn't kill her.
- You did kill her!

206
00:15:17,838 --> 00:15:21,467
And then you took her body
to the boneyard where we found this!

207
00:15:22,176 --> 00:15:23,469
[crowd exclaim]

208
00:15:28,307 --> 00:15:31,977
Oh, wise ones,
we have a killer in our midst!

209
00:15:32,978 --> 00:15:35,898
If he strikes once, he will strike again!

210
00:15:37,191 --> 00:15:41,236
We must rid ourselves of this evil.

211
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,322
[Jorundr grunting]

212
00:15:48,744 --> 00:15:49,870
I await your judgment.

213
00:15:52,456 --> 00:15:53,666
[Jorundr] Mother, don't.

214
00:15:55,167 --> 00:15:56,085
Please.

215
00:15:56,168 --> 00:15:57,628
Have mercy on him.

216
00:15:58,754 --> 00:16:01,924
[voice breaks] I'm begging you.
He's my only child!

217
00:16:02,675 --> 00:16:03,968
[sobbing]

218
00:16:08,305 --> 00:16:09,139
Please.

219
00:16:09,974 --> 00:16:11,892
[crowd murmuring]

220
00:16:15,312 --> 00:16:16,855
[breathing heavily]

221
00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:19,108
We have decided.

222
00:16:20,901 --> 00:16:22,277
He is guilty.

223
00:16:22,820 --> 00:16:24,405
[sobbing]

224
00:16:27,032 --> 00:16:27,992
His hand.

225
00:16:30,452 --> 00:16:31,912
His necklace.

226
00:16:33,455 --> 00:16:34,999
And exile.

227
00:16:42,214 --> 00:16:43,215
[grunts]

228
00:16:45,926 --> 00:16:48,220
[Jorundr grunting]

229
00:16:54,101 --> 00:16:56,562
- [Gudrid screaming]
- [exclaiming]

230
00:16:58,022 --> 00:16:59,732
[screaming]

231
00:17:03,402 --> 00:17:04,403
[Jorundr groans]

232
00:17:05,821 --> 00:17:07,656
[screaming]

233
00:17:10,117 --> 00:17:11,368
[groaning]

234
00:17:28,886 --> 00:17:30,554
[groaning]

235
00:17:42,441 --> 00:17:43,942
[breathing heavily]

236
00:17:59,416 --> 00:18:00,334
[Jomsviking] Row!

237
00:18:25,651 --> 00:18:27,986
Explain to me this science

238
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:31,615
that requires
the weight of the boat to be reduced

239
00:18:31,698 --> 00:18:33,826
in order to make it over the falls.

240
00:18:37,496 --> 00:18:39,248
It is a science of the mind.

241
00:18:41,875 --> 00:18:43,001
Really?

242
00:18:44,253 --> 00:18:48,882
Mmm-hmm. No one wants to die.

243
00:18:51,135 --> 00:18:54,221
But we are loathe to risk death
in order to survive,

244
00:18:56,223 --> 00:18:58,100
until we have no choice.

245
00:19:00,978 --> 00:19:02,771
Harald doesn't understand this.

246
00:19:04,648 --> 00:19:06,733
I presented him with a situation…

247
00:19:09,695 --> 00:19:13,031
for him to feel
what he's asking others to do.

248
00:19:15,492 --> 00:19:16,535
Sacrifice.

249
00:19:18,871 --> 00:19:20,664
Everybody has to risk something.

250
00:19:22,958 --> 00:19:23,792
Why not Harald?

251
00:19:29,715 --> 00:19:30,757
Will he do it?

252
00:19:31,842 --> 00:19:33,010
That I don't know.

253
00:19:51,987 --> 00:19:53,280
[Mariam sighs]

254
00:19:56,325 --> 00:19:57,201
Leif?

255
00:19:58,493 --> 00:19:59,494
Hmm.

256
00:20:03,916 --> 00:20:05,125
I don't want to die.

257
00:20:14,134 --> 00:20:16,386
[women chatting]

258
00:20:17,846 --> 00:20:19,681
[women laugh]

259
00:20:27,481 --> 00:20:30,192
I did not think
you would be one of those to desert me.

260
00:20:33,153 --> 00:20:36,073
I'd have thought
you'd be faithful to your father's wishes.

261
00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:38,033
I did not say I wouldn't.

262
00:20:40,452 --> 00:20:41,954
I said I can understand

263
00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:45,207
why the others are reluctant.

264
00:20:55,217 --> 00:20:58,887
Freedom and love
are strong emotions to overcome,

265
00:21:01,014 --> 00:21:03,016
especially when you've never known them.

266
00:21:03,892 --> 00:21:06,561
I would've thought
the threat of savagery and torture

267
00:21:06,645 --> 00:21:08,563
would help make their decision easier.

268
00:21:09,273 --> 00:21:10,399
[Elena] It would.

269
00:21:12,442 --> 00:21:14,111
But not till it shows itself.

270
00:21:15,696 --> 00:21:19,283
When your father came to me,
he knew about the Pechenegs.

271
00:21:21,034 --> 00:21:23,578
And yet he was brave enough
to make the journey.

272
00:21:24,288 --> 00:21:27,416
That is because
he feared something else more.

273
00:21:35,966 --> 00:21:39,594
When I was a girl,
raiders invaded Chude from Novgorod…

274
00:21:41,722 --> 00:21:42,931
and killed hundreds.

275
00:21:44,182 --> 00:21:47,728
My aunts and cousins
fled to the rivers with their belongings

276
00:21:47,811 --> 00:21:50,063
to avoid robbery and rape.

277
00:21:53,150 --> 00:21:54,443
Many drowned.

278
00:21:55,819 --> 00:21:57,029
To stop the suffering,

279
00:21:57,946 --> 00:22:00,073
my father journeyed to Constantinople

280
00:22:00,157 --> 00:22:01,575
and met with the emperor.

281
00:22:04,786 --> 00:22:07,456
He negotiated an end to the raids

282
00:22:08,206 --> 00:22:10,167
in return for a great tribute.

283
00:22:13,378 --> 00:22:15,881
That is why
he was returning to Constantinople,

284
00:22:17,883 --> 00:22:19,009
to pay for that peace.

285
00:22:23,889 --> 00:22:25,974
This pendant must be extremely valuable

286
00:22:26,933 --> 00:22:28,852
if it's enough to save a kingdom.

287
00:22:31,146 --> 00:22:31,980
It is.

288
00:22:32,898 --> 00:22:36,693
And you are a very strong woman

289
00:22:37,819 --> 00:22:39,654
to deliver on your father's promise.

290
00:22:45,911 --> 00:22:47,371
[rooster crows]

291
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:53,585
I'm looking for a man called the Bear.

292
00:22:55,420 --> 00:22:56,505
Are you now?

293
00:22:58,173 --> 00:22:59,424
Do you know where he is?

294
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:02,094
[scoffs] That depends.

295
00:23:12,979 --> 00:23:13,939
Not on that.

296
00:23:16,191 --> 00:23:17,192
Then on what?

297
00:23:18,235 --> 00:23:21,071
On who exactly is asking.

298
00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:32,416
- The ale-wife knows something.
- [Emma] Yes?

299
00:23:32,499 --> 00:23:34,251
[Agnarr] She would not tell me.

300
00:23:34,918 --> 00:23:35,919
Why not?

301
00:23:36,002 --> 00:23:38,880
I said I was inquiring
on behalf of the Queen of England.

302
00:23:38,964 --> 00:23:42,259
She laughed. Said she would
only tell the queen herself.

303
00:23:48,056 --> 00:23:50,142
[woman humming]

304
00:23:54,104 --> 00:23:56,523
[Agnarr] I present to you
Her Royal Highness,

305
00:23:56,606 --> 00:23:59,151
- the Queen of England.
- [laughing]

306
00:24:00,193 --> 00:24:01,069
Do you now?

307
00:24:01,945 --> 00:24:03,113
[Emma] He does.

308
00:24:07,534 --> 00:24:08,994
I understand you can help me.

309
00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:11,705
[gasps]

310
00:24:12,330 --> 00:24:14,207
I knew Godwin as a child.

311
00:24:15,041 --> 00:24:17,961
The large family house
was only two miles from here.

312
00:24:18,879 --> 00:24:19,880
It was grand.

313
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:25,051
Back then, all the children
played in the fields together.

314
00:24:26,344 --> 00:24:27,429
He was a sweet boy.

315
00:24:29,806 --> 00:24:32,350
His father's betrayal changed everything.

316
00:24:32,434 --> 00:24:36,730
Losing his home, his title, his wealth,

317
00:24:37,481 --> 00:24:41,318
dealing with the shame of it,
it made him angry and bitter.

318
00:24:43,737 --> 00:24:45,822
But the Bear was always loyal to him.

319
00:24:46,948 --> 00:24:48,200
The Bear knew Godwin?

320
00:24:48,825 --> 00:24:50,452
He was Godwin's guardian.

321
00:24:54,206 --> 00:24:57,000
His mother died
shortly after his father's imprisonment,

322
00:24:57,083 --> 00:24:58,460
so the Bear took him in.

323
00:24:59,503 --> 00:25:02,297
He was all he had, after all was lost.

324
00:25:03,131 --> 00:25:05,884
What is his real name? The Bear?

325
00:25:07,427 --> 00:25:08,512
John Fletcher.

326
00:25:09,095 --> 00:25:10,931
He was the old ealdorman's retainer.

327
00:25:12,015 --> 00:25:13,683
He would do anything for the boy.

328
00:25:21,274 --> 00:25:23,026
[bell tolling]

329
00:25:23,777 --> 00:25:25,237
Ealdorman Wulfhaere!

330
00:25:27,072 --> 00:25:28,406
What brings you to London?

331
00:25:28,490 --> 00:25:30,242
You, Earl Godwin.

332
00:25:33,537 --> 00:25:37,290
- Should I be worried about my estate?
- I don't know. Should you be?

333
00:25:37,916 --> 00:25:39,501
I saw the queen in Sussex.

334
00:25:40,835 --> 00:25:44,714
I trust she is not planning
on taking some or all of it from me

335
00:25:45,298 --> 00:25:46,508
and giving it to a Viking?

336
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:52,347
Earl Godwin, I speak in jest.

337
00:25:53,056 --> 00:25:56,017
I trust
that if the queen was about to depose me,

338
00:25:56,101 --> 00:25:58,436
you would have
at least given me some warning.

339
00:25:59,604 --> 00:26:01,314
And I jest with you. Fear not.

340
00:26:01,398 --> 00:26:04,317
The queen has other business in Sussex.

341
00:26:08,488 --> 00:26:10,907
- [arrow whooshes]
- [deer grunts]

342
00:26:11,866 --> 00:26:13,159
[sighs]

343
00:26:15,078 --> 00:26:16,288
A good try, King Svein.

344
00:26:17,581 --> 00:26:18,999
We'll find you another deer.

345
00:26:22,586 --> 00:26:24,629
[man speaking indistinctly]

346
00:26:27,173 --> 00:26:28,592
They left before the thaw?

347
00:26:30,093 --> 00:26:31,720
On a boat on a sled.

348
00:26:32,512 --> 00:26:35,724
Filled with furs
to sell in Constantinople? [chuckles]

349
00:26:36,433 --> 00:26:37,809
I think you're lying to me.

350
00:26:38,768 --> 00:26:39,728
If I was lying,

351
00:26:39,811 --> 00:26:41,980
I would have
made the story more believable.

352
00:26:43,356 --> 00:26:44,399
Extraordinary.

353
00:26:45,108 --> 00:26:47,277
My brother, the great Viking berserker,

354
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,029
now a fur trader.

355
00:26:49,112 --> 00:26:51,615
No less amazing
than the great Olaf Haraldsson,

356
00:26:51,698 --> 00:26:53,825
architect of
King Canute's London invasion,

357
00:26:53,908 --> 00:26:55,535
now the guardian of his son.

358
00:26:56,286 --> 00:26:57,537
We have an arrangement.

359
00:26:58,705 --> 00:27:00,999
I look after
his northern empire and Svein,

360
00:27:01,082 --> 00:27:03,835
in exchange
for the life of my own son, Magnus,

361
00:27:04,502 --> 00:27:05,879
who he raises in his court.

362
00:27:06,463 --> 00:27:07,297
Brilliant.

363
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:11,217
That depends on who you ask.

364
00:27:12,719 --> 00:27:14,638
[bell tolling]

365
00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:20,268
[Yaroslav]
With the southern trade routes closed,

366
00:27:20,352 --> 00:27:23,188
it is important
that you keep the Baltic open for trade.

367
00:27:23,855 --> 00:27:27,859
That means controlling the Jomsvikings
who are now raiding our ships.

368
00:27:28,985 --> 00:27:30,654
I ran into them a few months ago.

369
00:27:31,488 --> 00:27:34,658
Trust me. I will find them
and get rid of them once and for all.

370
00:27:38,286 --> 00:27:42,749
Was there a woman with Harald
or did he mention one to you?

371
00:27:44,209 --> 00:27:45,043
A woman?

372
00:27:46,670 --> 00:27:48,088
Not to me. Why?

373
00:27:50,757 --> 00:27:51,591
Nothing.

374
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:54,969
[Olaf sighs]

375
00:27:56,137 --> 00:27:57,722
[Freydis breathing heavily]

376
00:28:03,478 --> 00:28:04,312
Freydis.

377
00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:12,112
- Where is my son?
- Freydis. You are all right.

378
00:28:12,195 --> 00:28:13,530
It is me, Valgerda.

379
00:28:15,865 --> 00:28:16,991
How did I get here?

380
00:28:17,575 --> 00:28:19,327
Hrefna found you in the boneyard.

381
00:28:31,631 --> 00:28:34,509
Some of the afterbirth
was still in your body,

382
00:28:35,427 --> 00:28:37,011
and I was able to remove it.

383
00:28:38,930 --> 00:28:40,223
And you will be fine,

384
00:28:41,933 --> 00:28:44,352
but you will never
be able to have another child.

385
00:28:49,858 --> 00:28:51,484
[crying softly]

386
00:29:25,727 --> 00:29:27,312
- [grunts]
- [water splashes]

387
00:29:32,233 --> 00:29:34,652
I cannot guarantee anyone's survival.

388
00:29:37,363 --> 00:29:40,074
What is over the falls, I do not know.

389
00:29:42,410 --> 00:29:45,079
I can only guarantee
my best efforts to keep us alive.

390
00:29:47,207 --> 00:29:49,167
And I cannot do that if we remain here.

391
00:30:19,364 --> 00:30:21,074
- [grunts]
- [water splashing]

392
00:30:45,557 --> 00:30:48,309
Ready! [grunts] And up!

393
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:53,106
Now heave!

394
00:31:20,091 --> 00:31:21,551
[cow mooing]

395
00:31:48,786 --> 00:31:50,705
[Agnarr] He's not dead long.

396
00:31:51,664 --> 00:31:53,666
There is no sign of a wound.

397
00:31:58,087 --> 00:31:59,297
A grand ring…

398
00:32:01,090 --> 00:32:01,925
for a farmer.

399
00:32:13,186 --> 00:32:14,979
[strained breathing]

400
00:32:22,570 --> 00:32:23,780
[Kolr] From your mother.

401
00:32:26,407 --> 00:32:28,952
Jorundr, why would you do this?

402
00:32:29,744 --> 00:32:31,245
[weakly] I didn't kill her.

403
00:32:32,246 --> 00:32:33,289
[grunts]

404
00:32:33,373 --> 00:32:37,710
I was trying to save her.

405
00:32:38,378 --> 00:32:40,380
Think about it, Kolr!

406
00:32:40,964 --> 00:32:43,007
Harekr wanted her dead.

407
00:32:43,675 --> 00:32:45,343
[grunts]

408
00:32:45,426 --> 00:32:46,594
She threatened him.

409
00:32:46,678 --> 00:32:47,637
So did I.

410
00:32:48,930 --> 00:32:51,432
So he used me to get rid of us both.

411
00:32:51,516 --> 00:32:53,434
[breathing heavily]

412
00:32:55,728 --> 00:32:58,856
And he will kill anyone
to maintain his power.

413
00:33:00,233 --> 00:33:01,150
Today, it is me.

414
00:33:02,485 --> 00:33:05,905
Tomorrow, it can be any of you.

415
00:33:06,489 --> 00:33:08,074
[whimpers]

416
00:33:16,457 --> 00:33:17,291
I'm sorry.

417
00:33:22,422 --> 00:33:23,423
[grunts]

418
00:33:24,966 --> 00:33:25,967
[Jomsviking] Move out.

419
00:33:29,887 --> 00:33:30,722
To your oars!

420
00:33:31,806 --> 00:33:32,640
Pull!

421
00:33:45,403 --> 00:33:46,821
The massacre was my fault.

422
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:50,491
I'm sorry. And I'm leaving.

423
00:33:51,075 --> 00:33:53,828
- Where are you going?
- To get my son.

424
00:33:54,537 --> 00:33:56,372
Harekr will never let you have him.

425
00:33:56,456 --> 00:33:58,833
Then I will kill him
or he will have to kill me.

426
00:34:01,335 --> 00:34:02,879
It is the best I could find.

427
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:12,263
It is good enough for my needs.

428
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:36,329
[breathing heavily]

429
00:34:50,593 --> 00:34:52,261
[bell tolling]

430
00:34:52,345 --> 00:34:53,304
[horn blowing]

431
00:34:53,387 --> 00:34:54,806
[man exclaims]

432
00:34:56,766 --> 00:34:58,059
[horses grunting]

433
00:34:59,435 --> 00:35:00,937
[horn blowing]

434
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,947
[guards exclaim]

435
00:35:19,914 --> 00:35:21,749
[men chatting and laughing]

436
00:35:31,592 --> 00:35:32,760
[King Canute] Leave us.

437
00:35:44,188 --> 00:35:45,022
Surprise.

438
00:36:02,165 --> 00:36:03,082
This man,

439
00:36:05,001 --> 00:36:05,877
the Bear.

440
00:36:07,044 --> 00:36:09,380
Were there signs
that he had been murdered?

441
00:36:14,886 --> 00:36:15,720
No.

442
00:36:18,890 --> 00:36:21,017
But I'm sure Godwin was behind it

443
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,227
as well as the false assassination attempt

444
00:36:23,311 --> 00:36:24,478
to gain your gratitude.

445
00:36:25,771 --> 00:36:29,066
I do not put such things
beyond the imagination of Godwin.

446
00:36:30,484 --> 00:36:31,527
What about Aelfwynn?

447
00:36:33,237 --> 00:36:36,282
He wrote me
to ask my permission to wed her.

448
00:36:36,365 --> 00:36:37,450
I said yes.

449
00:36:38,618 --> 00:36:40,328
Why would he create a situation

450
00:36:40,411 --> 00:36:43,915
that would lead to his betrothed
being tortured to death?

451
00:36:45,416 --> 00:36:47,335
What could he possibly gain from that?

452
00:36:48,044 --> 00:36:49,253
I do not know.

453
00:36:51,422 --> 00:36:53,049
But I'm sure there was a reason.

454
00:36:55,509 --> 00:36:58,679
Were you sure when you had her killed?

455
00:37:01,140 --> 00:37:01,974
No.

456
00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:06,395
I am not saying
that you are wrong, my love.

457
00:37:08,481 --> 00:37:10,608
But Godwin is a complex man

458
00:37:11,651 --> 00:37:13,611
who has endured great losses

459
00:37:14,445 --> 00:37:16,155
and found a way to survive.

460
00:37:19,617 --> 00:37:22,662
This is not proof of the crimes
that you accuse him of.

461
00:37:23,537 --> 00:37:27,166
And now
he has lost something much greater,

462
00:37:27,250 --> 00:37:29,210
which cannot be returned.

463
00:37:35,591 --> 00:37:36,425
Love.

464
00:37:45,226 --> 00:37:47,270
- [guard 1] King Canute.
- [guard 2] Sire.

465
00:37:48,229 --> 00:37:51,565
Your Highness, welcome home.

466
00:37:51,649 --> 00:37:52,858
I heard from your soldiers

467
00:37:52,942 --> 00:37:55,361
just how resounding your victory was
against the Wends.

468
00:37:55,987 --> 00:37:58,739
I am not the only one
who has been keeping England safe.

469
00:37:59,699 --> 00:38:02,827
The queen tells me
that you saved her life while I was away.

470
00:38:04,578 --> 00:38:05,538
I am grateful.

471
00:38:07,373 --> 00:38:09,292
She also told me about your betrothed.

472
00:38:11,085 --> 00:38:11,919
Aelfwynn.

473
00:38:12,962 --> 00:38:15,756
The queen had no choice,
but to act the way she did.

474
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,677
I acknowledge that.
But it does not ease my pain.

475
00:38:20,928 --> 00:38:22,013
I understand.

476
00:38:22,972 --> 00:38:24,098
In my experience,

477
00:38:25,224 --> 00:38:27,476
the best way to forget about a great woman

478
00:38:28,102 --> 00:38:30,563
is to find another who is superior.

479
00:38:30,646 --> 00:38:31,647
[both chuckle]

480
00:38:32,481 --> 00:38:33,733
You should be married.

481
00:38:34,233 --> 00:38:37,278
If it pleases the king,
I shall try to find a suitable bride.

482
00:38:37,862 --> 00:38:39,280
I already have.

483
00:38:40,698 --> 00:38:44,910
I have decided
that you should become part of my family.

484
00:38:46,912 --> 00:38:51,375
Gytha, my niece,
would make a most wonderful wife.

485
00:38:52,918 --> 00:38:53,836
Your Highness…

486
00:38:57,214 --> 00:38:58,507
words escape me.

487
00:38:58,591 --> 00:38:59,717
Then say nothing.

488
00:39:01,552 --> 00:39:02,762
You have my blessing.

489
00:39:06,724 --> 00:39:10,186
My queen, we have cause for celebration.

490
00:39:11,979 --> 00:39:14,357
Godwin is to marry Gytha.

491
00:39:18,444 --> 00:39:19,612
Gytha…

492
00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:22,156
I am so sorry.

493
00:39:23,115 --> 00:39:24,825
Why are you sorry, Your Highness?

494
00:39:25,409 --> 00:39:27,703
- You're glad?
- How could I not be?

495
00:39:29,205 --> 00:39:32,917
I'm going to marry the kindest,
most loving man in all of England.

496
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,835
How can you think that?

497
00:39:34,919 --> 00:39:36,128
Aelfwynn told me.

498
00:39:37,755 --> 00:39:40,633
If he could love me
even half as much as he loved her,

499
00:39:40,716 --> 00:39:42,593
I would be a lucky woman. [sniffles]

500
00:39:43,636 --> 00:39:46,180
But Gytha, you are of a royal line.

501
00:39:47,848 --> 00:39:48,808
You're right.

502
00:39:48,891 --> 00:39:51,977
At least there is one thing
I can give him that she could not.

503
00:39:52,770 --> 00:39:53,813
And what is that?

504
00:39:53,896 --> 00:39:57,566
Aelfwynn said it was Godwin's dream
to have a son who would be king.

505
00:39:58,984 --> 00:40:01,570
She could not. But I can.

506
00:40:03,823 --> 00:40:05,574
[King Canute] Gytha! Where are you?

507
00:40:06,409 --> 00:40:07,326
[Gytha] Coming.

508
00:40:19,004 --> 00:40:20,589
[indistinct chatter]

509
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,677
[Freydis] Harekr!

510
00:40:27,930 --> 00:40:28,973
Harekr!

511
00:40:32,893 --> 00:40:33,727
Freydis.

512
00:40:36,981 --> 00:40:38,566
[Freydis] Harekr!

513
00:40:40,818 --> 00:40:42,027
She wants her baby.

514
00:40:44,572 --> 00:40:45,656
But she's dead.

515
00:40:47,116 --> 00:40:48,409
You said she's dead.

516
00:40:48,492 --> 00:40:49,410
[Freydis] Harekr!

517
00:40:49,493 --> 00:40:51,996
Maybe it's her spirit. Pray to her.

518
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:55,124
- No, no, this is a trick.
- [crowd praying]

519
00:40:55,916 --> 00:40:58,127
We must find who is doing it
and punish them.

520
00:40:58,210 --> 00:41:00,171
- [Freydis] Harekr!
- [Skögul] She is here!

521
00:41:00,796 --> 00:41:03,507
She is outside the gates. Open them.

522
00:41:04,717 --> 00:41:07,011
[man] The gates! Open the gates!

523
00:41:07,595 --> 00:41:09,430
[crowd murmuring]

524
00:41:15,060 --> 00:41:16,395
[door opens]

525
00:41:18,522 --> 00:41:19,440
[man 1] It's her!

526
00:41:19,940 --> 00:41:21,984
[man 2] It is! It is Freydis!

527
00:41:22,067 --> 00:41:23,277
[man 3] It's Freydis!

528
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,112
[crowd continue murmuring]

529
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:40,419
Freydis,

530
00:41:41,962 --> 00:41:43,297
we thought you were dead!

531
00:41:44,507 --> 00:41:46,050
Come. Let us help you.

532
00:41:46,133 --> 00:41:48,052
You cannot help me, Harekr.

533
00:41:49,678 --> 00:41:51,430
You are the cause of my pain.

534
00:41:53,140 --> 00:41:56,101
You have taken my son and I want him back!

535
00:41:56,977 --> 00:42:00,105
We are taking care of him, Freydis.
We only want what's best for him.

536
00:42:00,189 --> 00:42:02,107
I am what's best for him!

537
00:42:02,191 --> 00:42:03,901
Any mother will tell you that.

538
00:42:05,152 --> 00:42:06,403
I'm taking him back.

539
00:42:07,696 --> 00:42:09,698
That's not going to happen.

540
00:42:11,617 --> 00:42:12,618
[scoffs]

541
00:42:13,661 --> 00:42:14,954
Are you challenging me?

542
00:42:16,372 --> 00:42:17,248
[chuckles] No.

543
00:42:18,749 --> 00:42:22,002
It would not be fair in your condition.
Come to the temple to recover.

544
00:42:24,129 --> 00:42:27,216
Let the gods decide
what is fair and unfair.

545
00:42:30,302 --> 00:42:32,888
Yes, let the gods decide.

546
00:42:33,597 --> 00:42:37,560
- [woman] We must trust in the gods!
- [man] You have Odin on your side.

All right.

00:42:41,397 --> 00:42:43,065
If you wish to fight me, Freydis,

No.

557
00:43:17,474 --> 00:43:19,101
I will kill you if I must.

558
00:43:19,685 --> 00:43:20,728
Then do it.

559
00:43:21,937 --> 00:43:23,522

[panting]

579
00:45:40,451 --> 00:45:42,035

580
00:46:12,775 --> 00:46:13,650
Here.

581
00:46:15,694 --> 00:46:17,571
- All right.
