1
00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,003
(If I had a heart playing)

2
00:00:55,138 --> 00:00:56,265
It is no surprise to me

3
00:00:56,348 --> 00:00:58,684
that these northmen
have arrived in wessex.

4
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:00,770
After I heard about their
raids into northumbria,

5
00:01:00,811 --> 00:01:02,729
I realized it was only
a matter of time

6
00:01:02,813 --> 00:01:04,815
before they came ashore here.

7
00:01:09,152 --> 00:01:11,738
When I lived at the court
of the emperor charlemagne,

8
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:14,575
of long and blessed memory,

9
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,912
these northmen had already
emerged from their lairs

10
00:01:18,996 --> 00:01:20,414
to attack parts of his empire.

11
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:23,917
And I remember an incident
from this period very well.

12
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:26,295
I was with charlemagne's party

13
00:01:26,545 --> 00:01:29,214
at a harbor town
in southern Gaul.

14
00:01:29,298 --> 00:01:31,758
As we sat eating supper,

15
00:01:31,842 --> 00:01:34,469
a fleet of pirates
attacked the harbor.

16
00:01:34,886 --> 00:01:38,098
There was some confusion
about their identity,

17
00:01:38,181 --> 00:01:41,310
but from the build of their ships
and their speed through the water,

18
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:44,855
the emperor recognized them
at once as northmen.

19
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:48,817
After a lightning attack...

20
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,861
(Exhales)

21
00:01:52,988 --> 00:01:54,531
They made their escape.

22
00:01:54,615 --> 00:02:00,203
The emperor's men took up the
chase, but they were soon out-sailed.

23
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:05,667
Charlemagne Rose from the table
and stood at the window, facing east.

24
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:08,879
I remember it as clearly
as if it were yesterday.

25
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:13,675
For a long time, he stood

26
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:18,388
while the tears
poured down his face.

27
00:02:20,057 --> 00:02:24,770
In the end, he said, "do you
know why I weep so bitterly?

28
00:02:25,062 --> 00:02:28,982
"It's not because I'm afraid
these ruffians will do me any harm.

29
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:31,693
"I am sick at heart

30
00:02:31,777 --> 00:02:33,695
"to think that
even in my lifetime,

31
00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:36,365
"they have dared
to attack this coast.

32
00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:41,536
"And I am horror-stricken when
I foresee what evil they will do

33
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:44,247
"to my descendants
and their subjects."

34
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:51,046
And now, it is our turn
to deal with these ruffians.

35
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:53,507
These pagans.

36
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,679
But deal with them we shall.

37
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:02,140
And must.

38
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:06,603
Aethelwulf?

39
00:03:08,105 --> 00:03:09,272
Yes, father.

40
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:12,818
I put it in your hands to work with
our ealdormen to raise an army.

41
00:03:12,901 --> 00:03:15,529
In the meantime,
we shall send spies and others

42
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:19,366
to observe the size of the
raiding party and their intentions.

43
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:22,577
These northmen never like
to venture far from their ships,

44
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:25,956
and they prefer not to be
drawn into pitched battle.

45
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:29,751
Let us not be afraid,
but rather watchful.

46
00:03:31,086 --> 00:03:33,213
And ultimately, decisive.

47
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:36,341
As the emperor was.

48
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:56,403
(Birds chirping)

49
00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:08,915
What is that place?

50
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:10,667
It's a Christian church,

51
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:12,169
a minster.

52
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:14,880
A large one.
It may be Winchester.

53
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:16,630
Is it important?

54
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:18,717
If it is Winchester, Saint
birinus is buried there.

55
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:21,011
It's a place of
great pilgrimage.

56
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:23,430
And will there
be treasure there?

57
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,350
Yes. A lot of treasure.

58
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:28,810
(Chuckles)

59
00:04:42,741 --> 00:04:44,201
(Eagle screeches)

60
00:04:56,338 --> 00:04:57,631
Sigvard: Lagertha!

61
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:06,640
Why must I follow
you up the fields?

62
00:05:07,265 --> 00:05:08,266
You're my wife.

63
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:13,480
You should be at my side, especially
when we have important guests.

64
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:15,816
I will not stay to
hear my son insulted.

65
00:05:15,899 --> 00:05:17,567
Your son should know his place.

66
00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:19,486
He continues to be resentful.

67
00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:23,114
He refuses to accept or
acknowledge my love for him.

68
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:27,369
You don't love my son.

69
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:30,288
You don't love anyone, sigvard.

70
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,916
You don't know how to.

71
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:34,543
(Groans)

72
00:05:41,550 --> 00:05:43,927
Forgive me, lagertha.
I'm an intemperate man.

73
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:54,980
I find it difficult
to control myself.

74
00:05:56,231 --> 00:05:59,067
Butlhaveloved and
desired you after my fashion,

75
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:03,071
and if your son will
only meet me halfway,

76
00:06:03,947 --> 00:06:06,741
I will make sure he
has a good future.

77
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:40,650
(Sheep bleating)

78
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:46,907
(Indistinct chattering)

79
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,954
(Shuddering)

80
00:06:55,665 --> 00:06:57,292
(Bell tolling)

81
00:06:57,375 --> 00:06:58,668
Man 1: The alarm!

82
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,004
(Clamoring)

83
00:07:01,671 --> 00:07:02,756
Man 2: Inside, now!

84
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:05,967
(Bell continues tolling)

85
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,930
(Indistinct shouting)

86
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:17,520
(Groans)

87
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:22,359
(Crowd screaming)

88
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,404
Ready?

89
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:28,198
Vveapons!

90
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:39,125
(Bell continues tolling)

91
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,717
(Animals bleating)

92
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:56,059
(Shouting)

93
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:57,852
(Shouts)

94
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:02,857
(Grunts)

95
00:08:07,362 --> 00:08:08,363
(Man screams)

96
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:11,032
(Shouts)

97
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:14,327
(Shouts)

98
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:20,250
(Screams)

99
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:24,337
(Screams)

100
00:08:25,255 --> 00:08:27,048
(Grunting)

101
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:40,937
(Panting)

102
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:42,814
(Grunts)

103
00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:44,941
(Screaming)

104
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:47,569
(Screaming)

105
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:23,730
Could be a trap.

106
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:27,150
Shield-wall!

107
00:09:54,677 --> 00:09:56,012
Open.

108
00:10:12,904 --> 00:10:14,489
Where have they all gone?

109
00:10:15,532 --> 00:10:17,242
There should be treasure.

110
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:21,371
He said there would be treasure.

111
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:24,666
Why do you always listen to him?

112
00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:29,170
Where is it?

113
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:32,590
It's over there.

114
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,350
This? This is not treasure.

115
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:44,686
This is an empty wooden table.

116
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:50,441
You are mistaken, king horik.

117
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,694
The treasure is here.

118
00:10:53,236 --> 00:10:55,071
You're standing on it. (Knocks)

119
00:11:00,243 --> 00:11:01,995
(Straining)

120
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:05,206
(Grunting)

121
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:08,334
(Laughs)

122
00:11:08,418 --> 00:11:09,794
You were right!

123
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,754
(Men laughing)

124
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:13,506
Look, it's treasure!

125
00:11:16,426 --> 00:11:17,969
How did you know?

126
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:19,846
It is a Christian habit

127
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:23,183
to Bury the bones of the
revered dead beneath the altar.

128
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:24,559
Ragnah

129
00:11:29,063 --> 00:11:30,607
horik: Let me see that.

130
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:33,026
(Treasure clattering)

131
00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:35,403
(Men laughing)

132
00:11:36,446 --> 00:11:37,906
Who was this?

133
00:11:38,281 --> 00:11:40,158
It must be Saint birinus.

134
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:44,287
You keep talking to me
like I know what a Saint is.

135
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:48,917
A Saint is a man who has
lived a particularly holy life,

136
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,085
performed some miracle,

137
00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:54,380
or been martyred,
killed, for their beliefs.

138
00:11:54,631 --> 00:11:55,965
Man: Wsahgmd!

139
00:11:56,466 --> 00:11:59,177
But I am dead.
What use can I be?

140
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:02,055
(Chuckles)

141
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:05,934
Christians believe that the
bones can still exert benediction.

142
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:08,353
Can perform miracles.

143
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,316
What is a miracle?

144
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:18,988
Miracles are things
which are impossible to do.

145
00:12:21,491 --> 00:12:22,992
Horik: Take it all.

146
00:12:24,494 --> 00:12:25,912
It's heavy.

147
00:12:34,837 --> 00:12:35,922
Wait.

148
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:50,520
Man: What do they want?

149
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:51,604
(Woman gasps)

150
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,481
(Woman screams)

151
00:13:20,174 --> 00:13:21,843
(Shuddering)

152
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:37,275
No! Stop!

153
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:38,901
(Groans)

154
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:42,655

(In native tongue)

157
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:11,768
You speak our language. How?

158
00:14:12,602 --> 00:14:15,229
It doesn't matter.
Just do as I say. Hide.

159
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:18,399
Hide, orthey will kill
you. You're one of us.

160
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:23,029
Once. Then, I
will tell you this.

161
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:25,865
One day, you will be caught.

162
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,159
We will catch you
and crucify you,

163
00:14:28,242 --> 00:14:30,828
for an apostate is the lowest
and the vilest of all creatures

164
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:32,497
in the eyes of god.

165
00:14:57,146 --> 00:14:59,315

(Cheering)

173
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:13,973
What will happen to him?

174
00:16:14,056 --> 00:16:16,350
You just wait and see, priest.

175
00:16:18,936 --> 00:16:21,022
(Men laugh)

182
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:27,004
Here!

187
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:16,345
(Continues praying)

188
00:18:17,305 --> 00:18:19,015
Floki: Is he still talking?

189
00:18:19,807 --> 00:18:21,309
Tough old goat.

190
00:18:21,392 --> 00:18:24,478
Horik: Erlendur, quiet him.
Right in his mouth.

191
00:18:24,562 --> 00:18:26,480
(Gasping)

192
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:33,529
(Priest continues praying)

193
00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:51,839
(Gasps)

194
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,260
(Blessing in Latin)

195
00:18:57,511 --> 00:19:01,557
Suffer no more, but
trust in thy salvation.

196
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:03,643
(Groans weakly) (Slices)

197
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,958
(Indistinct chattering)

198
00:19:40,971 --> 00:19:43,933
Mother, why would you
allow him to do that to you?

199
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:45,726
What are you talking about?

200
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,311
Your husband, Earl sigvard.

201
00:19:47,395 --> 00:19:48,437
I saw him.

202
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:50,940
Bjorn, please.

203
00:19:51,107 --> 00:19:52,233
Please what?

204
00:19:53,901 --> 00:19:55,611
Has he hit you before?

205
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,507
Will you let him hit you again?

206
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:00,616
It will never happen again.

207
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,828
If it does, I'll kill him.

208
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:05,913
I said it won't.

209
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:11,460
What would ragnarsay?

210
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:16,799
What has it to do with
your father? Nothing.

211
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:20,636
Sometimes I think ofhim.

212
00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:22,972
I miss him. Ican't help it.

213
00:20:24,682 --> 00:20:27,351
Of course not. You're his son.

214
00:20:28,853 --> 00:20:30,646
You must always be proud.

215
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:33,524
As should you,
for being his wife.

216
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:50,708
(Children playing)

217
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:05,973
(Sighs)

218
00:21:18,694 --> 00:21:20,029
Another son? (Baby coos)

219
00:21:20,696 --> 00:21:21,739
Yes.

220
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,909
What is his name?

221
00:21:26,035 --> 00:21:28,204
Sigurd, after my father.

222
00:21:42,885 --> 00:21:44,720
Sigurd snake-in-the-eye.

223
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:53,604
Man: Close the gate!

224
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:58,526
Edmund: Your majesty, you have
heard of the attack on Winchester?

225
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:01,737
Of course.

226
00:22:03,239 --> 00:22:04,240
Igheve.

227
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:08,285
Edmund: The martyrdom of
my fellow bishop, bishop swithern.

228
00:22:09,245 --> 00:22:10,746
A fine Christian.

229
00:22:11,372 --> 00:22:12,915
Ecbert: Praise be to god.

230
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:17,169
There are those who ask
why we did not do more

231
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:22,174
to protect our brothers and
sisters at such an important site.

232
00:22:23,384 --> 00:22:24,718
Ecbert: Are there?

233
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:28,639
What answer did you give them,
my lord eadric?

234
00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:32,268
(Laughs)

235
00:22:32,476 --> 00:22:34,895
Perhaps he did not
have an answer.

236
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:38,440
I've never found lord eadric
to be at a loss for words.

237
00:22:38,566 --> 00:22:39,942
(Men laugh)

238
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:43,988
I confess, sire, that
in this case, it's true.

239
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:46,198
I had no ready answer.

240
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:51,662
No, because it's always easier
to be wise after the fact, is it not?

241
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:56,876
My kingdom is very large.

242
00:22:56,959 --> 00:22:59,044
There are many important sites.

243
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,590
Could I protect all of them? No.

244
00:23:03,549 --> 00:23:07,094
Did I want to discover where
the pagans would strike?

245
00:23:07,761 --> 00:23:08,888
Yes.

246
00:23:10,139 --> 00:23:12,057
For now I know where they are.

247
00:23:12,308 --> 00:23:17,062
So bishop swithern
was a necessary sacnfice.

248
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:22,985
As a man of god, I assumed he
welcomed the opportunity for martyrdom.

249
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:27,656
Or do you disagree?
Oh, no, sire.

250
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:32,578
All of the cloth would welcome
martyrdom in the cause of our faith,

251
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:34,747
service of our
lord Jesus Christ.

252
00:23:37,499 --> 00:23:38,667
Good.

253
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:44,590
Because I'm going to offer you
precisely that same opportunity,

254
00:23:46,467 --> 00:23:47,968
my lord bishop.

255
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:54,016
And, I trust, very soon.

256
00:24:07,821 --> 00:24:09,198
(Sighs deeply)

257
00:24:21,877 --> 00:24:24,797
Torstein: It's times like this
I miss our friend arne.

258
00:24:25,047 --> 00:24:27,091
He could always make us laugh.

259
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:29,426
Even in the darkest moments.

260
00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:32,012
Now, he's making the gods laugh.

261
00:24:33,222 --> 00:24:37,393
That's why they took him from
us, 'cause they were jealous.

262
00:24:40,396 --> 00:24:41,397
(Chuckles)

263
00:24:41,647 --> 00:24:42,648
Speaking of gods...

264
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:51,448
I have something
for you, athelstan.

265
00:24:58,706 --> 00:25:00,165
Don't you want it?

266
00:25:01,542 --> 00:25:04,253
Are these not
the images of your god?

267
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,590
I told you before,
and I will tell you again.

268
00:25:09,425 --> 00:25:11,510
My god is Odin, the allfather.

269
00:25:11,593 --> 00:25:13,303
I know you've told me.

270
00:25:14,263 --> 00:25:17,057
Only, I don't believe you.

271
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:20,602
And this?

272
00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:22,604
Ragnar gave me this.

273
00:25:22,938 --> 00:25:25,774
Wearing a dog turd
doesn't make you a dog.

274
00:25:27,776 --> 00:25:28,777
Oh!

275
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:34,950
I have something else for you.

276
00:25:39,163 --> 00:25:42,833
The hand of your
holy man, I believe.

277
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,128
(Chuckles)

278
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:51,759
So tell me, how do
you find england?

279
00:25:54,595 --> 00:25:56,263
It is a pleasant land,

280
00:25:57,181 --> 00:25:58,849
rich with treasure.

281
00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:02,311
You are right.
This land is rich.

282
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:07,816
But here, here is
the real treasure.

283
00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:09,318
(Smells)

284
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:12,154
Eaflh?

285
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,324
Have you not seen? Everywhere
we go, there are crops.

286
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:17,659
There is food growing.

287
00:26:18,118 --> 00:26:20,996
I am a farmer and
the son of a farmer,

288
00:26:21,205 --> 00:26:23,499
and this is what I understand.

289
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:27,920
Compared to our poor
countries where it is hard to farm,

290
00:26:28,003 --> 00:26:29,338
hard to live,

291
00:26:30,005 --> 00:26:32,216
here, it is easy.

292
00:26:34,343 --> 00:26:38,597
If we lived here, we could feed
everybody. There would be no hunger.

293
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:42,392
I like your thinking,
but here is my question.

294
00:26:43,227 --> 00:26:46,146
Will the saxons simply
invite us to live among them?

295
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:54,238
(People cheering loudly)

296
00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:57,116
(Applauding)

297
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,702
(Cheering)

298
00:27:01,411 --> 00:27:05,249
(Indistinct chattering)

299
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:33,235
Friends, family,
what's left of it,

300
00:27:35,112 --> 00:27:37,739
so, I am married
for the second time.

301
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:41,785
As most of you know, my first
marriage lasted less than an hour,

302
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:44,997
because my own brother
poisoned the drinks that day.

303
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,476
Of course, the same thing
can never happen twice,

304
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,127
so let the wine be poured.

305
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:52,087
(Cheering)

306
00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:54,256
(Banging table)

307
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:06,393
Now, who will be the first
to drink in celebration?

308
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:13,859
I will.

309
00:28:21,992 --> 00:28:24,536
No. No, I could not bear
it. Not a second time.

310
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:26,496
Let me taste the wine.

311
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:35,380
(Coughing)

312
00:28:43,764 --> 00:28:45,224
That's good enough.

313
00:28:45,307 --> 00:28:46,642
(Cheering)

314
00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:07,829
I have something
else important to say.

315
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:09,641
I don't wish to
dampen the celebrations,

316
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:12,709
but you all know that the
agreement between myself,

317
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:15,837
king horik and ragnar
lothbrok has been broken.

318
00:29:16,505 --> 00:29:19,049
They have gone raiding
west without me, without us,

319
00:29:19,132 --> 00:29:22,010
which is an insult not only
to myself, but to all of you.

320
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:26,265
And now, also to my wife
and to my wife's family.

321
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:32,312
I have to do something
about this insult.

322
00:29:32,396 --> 00:29:35,440
Frankly, I blame king horik
more for what has happened,

323
00:29:35,524 --> 00:29:39,861
but at the same time consider what
is happening to Earl ragnar's lands.

324
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:42,572
He has abandoned them

325
00:29:43,156 --> 00:29:46,243
to the care of his wife
and his drunken brother.

326
00:29:47,077 --> 00:29:48,745
(Laughing)

327
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:52,582
In order to punish those who
have insulted me and my family,

328
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:57,212
I declare today that I will seek
vengeance against ragnar lothbrok.

329
00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:04,094
By all our gods, I swear
that we will seize all his lands,

330
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:08,932
and that I will repay his
brother's treachery with the ax.

331
00:30:09,016 --> 00:30:11,184
(Cheering)

332
00:30:49,014 --> 00:30:51,767
(Breathing heavily)
Who can speak to us?

333
00:30:55,896 --> 00:30:57,064
I can.

334
00:30:59,316 --> 00:31:03,445
I have been sent here
by ecbert, king of wessex.

335
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:09,368
The king regrets your attack
on the holy church at Winchester.

336
00:31:09,451 --> 00:31:14,581
He wonders how much longer
you intend to remain in his kingdom.

337
00:31:15,624 --> 00:31:16,625
(Clears throat)

338
00:31:18,502 --> 00:31:21,755
Well, that depends.

339
00:31:24,132 --> 00:31:25,967
Edmund: Upon what?

340
00:31:27,094 --> 00:31:30,180
Upon what he'll
offer us to leave.

341
00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:35,560
Or what he'll offer us to stay.

342
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,190
Stay?

343
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:45,362
Yes, we want to make
peace with the king.

344
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:48,657
Peace.

345
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:53,829
(Groans) (Menlaugh)

346
00:31:54,287 --> 00:31:56,790
So we don't have to
kill any more of you.

347
00:31:57,958 --> 00:32:02,337
I will relay your
message to the king.

348
00:32:04,131 --> 00:32:06,007
(Floki chuckles)

349
00:32:07,676 --> 00:32:09,261
(Speaking in native tongue)

350
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,641
(Groans)

351
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,271
(Laughs)

352
00:32:19,354 --> 00:32:21,231
(Grunting)

353
00:32:23,733 --> 00:32:25,527
(Straining)

354
00:32:28,530 --> 00:32:30,866
(Men laughing)

355
00:32:35,328 --> 00:32:36,329
(Groans)

356
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:38,039
(Laughing)

357
00:32:45,672 --> 00:32:47,466
(Neighs)

358
00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:52,721
Sigvard: Not hungry, bjorn?

359
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:56,308
Any reason?

360
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:57,726
No reason.

361
00:32:58,685 --> 00:33:00,187
Are you unhappy?

362
00:33:05,692 --> 00:33:08,028
What can I do to make you happy?

363
00:33:09,696 --> 00:33:11,865
Shall I raid one of my
unsuspecting neighbors,

364
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:14,618
so you can show off
your fighting skills?

365
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:16,912
And maybe slaughter them all?

366
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:20,790
Show that you are truly
the son of ragnar lothbrok?

367
00:33:20,874 --> 00:33:22,459
(Men laughing)

368
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,712
Sigvard: No, believe me,

369
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:27,964
I do not like to
see you so solemn.

370
00:33:29,299 --> 00:33:32,636
So tell me, what can I do?

371
00:33:35,764 --> 00:33:39,017
You can let me go live in
a cabin in the mountains.

372
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,895
By yourself? In the
mountains? Yes.

373
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:44,773
I'd like to test myself.

374
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,317
Get away from all this.

375
00:33:47,651 --> 00:33:51,404
All these servants. All these
people doing everything for us.

376
00:33:52,364 --> 00:33:55,033
I want to know what
is essential to life.

377
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:57,536
What is really important.

378
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:03,166
Will you let me?

379
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:07,546
No. Of course not.

380
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:10,423
I am the Earl here.

381
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,345
What would folk think if! Let
my beloved stepson starve

382
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:18,390
or freeze to death
in some mountain pigsty?

383
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:20,600
(Men laugh)

384
00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:23,395
Sigvard: You understand
that, don't you, my boy?

385
00:34:23,687 --> 00:34:24,813
In any case,

386
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:29,526
I have solemnly sworn to
lagertha that I shall take care of you.

387
00:34:30,485 --> 00:34:31,778
And iwill.

388
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:53,675
Rollo!

389
00:34:56,136 --> 00:34:58,096
Rollo, wake up. What?

390
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:02,142
What is it? There are boats.

391
00:35:07,522 --> 00:35:08,857
Siggy: Who are they?

392
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:11,526
Rollo: I think I can guess.

393
00:35:12,027 --> 00:35:13,403
Go back to the town.

394
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:15,780
Find anyone who can fight.

395
00:35:15,864 --> 00:35:17,782
Anyone who can hold a weapon.

396
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,744
We're under attack.

397
00:35:32,047 --> 00:35:34,174
Rollo, what is it?
What is happening?

398
00:35:34,257 --> 00:35:37,469
Jarl borg. He has
come back to attack us.

399
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:39,346
Jarl borg?

400
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:40,847
I'm sure it is him.

401
00:35:42,182 --> 00:35:45,226
Ragnar and king horik
broke their agreementwith him.

402
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,146
He has returned to
gain his revenge.

403
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,023
What are we going to do?

404
00:35:52,067 --> 00:35:54,069
What do you think
we're going to do?

405
00:35:54,444 --> 00:35:56,071
We're going to fight.

406
00:35:57,739 --> 00:35:59,991
Come. Go! Go!

407
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:02,535
(Indistinct shouting)

408
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:08,583
Rollo: Torfin! Olaf!
One of you on each flank.

409
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:12,212
Help with the barricades.

410
00:36:17,092 --> 00:36:19,427
Ragnar has taken all
of the best fighting men.

411
00:36:21,221 --> 00:36:23,014
Look what we have left.

412
00:36:27,143 --> 00:36:28,186
What are you doing?

413
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:29,646
What does it look like?

414
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:32,399
Not you. You are
not a shield-maiden.

415
00:36:32,482 --> 00:36:34,109
Youtenot_ lageflha.

416
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:39,155
Siggy, I need you to go
back to the great hall.

417
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:41,050
Find Princess aslaug
and her children,

418
00:36:41,074 --> 00:36:42,426
and take them up
into the mountains.

419
00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:44,202
And then what? Wait.

420
00:36:45,286 --> 00:36:46,538
For what?

421
00:36:49,499 --> 00:36:52,460
For whatever the gods have
decided is about to happen.

422
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,088
Now go.

423
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:58,174
(Indistinct shouting)

424
00:37:24,451 --> 00:37:25,702
Come on.

425
00:37:26,745 --> 00:37:29,122
This way. To the mountains.

426
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:32,500
This way. Go,
hvitserk. Run. Quickly.

427
00:37:41,384 --> 00:37:42,886
Sail down!

Row! Row!

430

Rollo: Stay strong!

431
00:38:00,361 --> 00:38:02,197
Don't make it easy for them!

432
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,283
Light the fires!

433
00:38:27,555 --> 00:38:29,390
(Men shouting)

434
00:38:32,227 --> 00:38:33,353
(Banging)

435
00:38:33,853 --> 00:38:35,188
Rollo: Archers!

436
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:38,066
(Indistinct shouting)

437
00:38:45,073 --> 00:38:46,282
Oars!

438
00:38:50,411 --> 00:38:51,830
Rollo: Hold your places!

439
00:39:02,382 --> 00:39:03,591
Jump ship!

440
00:39:03,716 --> 00:39:05,260
(Shouts)

441
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:09,931
(Shouting)

442
00:39:12,934 --> 00:39:13,935
(Groans)

443
00:39:18,648 --> 00:39:19,649
(Groans)

444
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:32,912
(Groans)

445
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:35,957
(Grunting)

446
00:39:36,249 --> 00:39:37,458
(Screams)

447
00:39:42,463 --> 00:39:43,464
(Groans)

448
00:39:44,299 --> 00:39:45,300
(Groans)

449
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:48,469
As fast as you can! Shields!

450
00:40:05,028 --> 00:40:06,321
Boy: Roiio!

451
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:25,715
Fall back!

453
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:01,459
Fall back!

454
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:03,711
Backtothe marketplace.

455
00:41:07,340 --> 00:41:08,549
Move!

456
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:13,221
That's right, rollo, run!

457
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:16,057
Run, like you always do.

458
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,977
(Shouting)

459
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:44,752
(Grunts)

460
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:50,550
Loose!

461
00:41:55,972 --> 00:41:57,223
Loose!

462
00:42:01,728 --> 00:42:03,021
Shield-wall!

463
00:42:20,204 --> 00:42:21,956
You can't win, rollo!

464
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:26,544
There is no disgrace in the
eyes of the gods to save yourself

465
00:42:26,627 --> 00:42:28,421
for another day, rollo.

466
00:42:32,467 --> 00:42:33,468
(Groans) (Gasmng)

467
00:42:36,763 --> 00:42:40,641
Your first duty is to try and
save the sons of ragnar.

468
00:42:40,975 --> 00:42:42,643
Surrender!

469
00:42:45,063 --> 00:42:46,189
Rollo,

470
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:48,524
let me speak for the gods,

471
00:42:48,608 --> 00:42:51,486
for I will shortlyjoin them
in their bright halls.

472
00:42:52,028 --> 00:42:55,907
But you, you have
other work to do here.

473
00:42:59,994 --> 00:43:02,705
I will tell the gods
what you have done.

474
00:43:23,893 --> 00:43:26,062
Now do you surrender?

475
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:53,798
(Shouts) (Screams)

476
00:43:55,299 --> 00:43:57,927
