More, give me more give me more
if I had a heart I could love you
if I had a voice I would sing
after the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

If I had a voice I would sing
[People cheering]
[Man] I cast my vote...
To bjorn Ironside.

[Drums beating]
My vote goes to king Harald.
- [People cheering] - [Drums beating]
And mine to Earl thorkell.
- [Splashes] - [People cheering]

[Man] Jarl thorkell!
I cast my vote for bjorn Ironside!

Yes.
[Metal jingling]
[Horn blowing]
Now, we do what we planned.
- All right? - Yes, lagertha.
I cast my vote for king Harald!
- [People cheering] - [Drums beating]
- [Man] Come on! - [Lagertha] Prepare for an attack!
To your stations!
[People screaming]
[Lagertha] They're coming! Take your positions!
[Dramatic music playing]
- Look after her. - Of course. Come, Asa.
Come! To your stations! Go!
You were right.
Not a cause for satisfaction.
Listen. You and I both know the outcome of this battle has already been decided.
But not by men.
By the other women who spin our fates.
But I hope we survive. I think you are good for bjorn.
And you are carrying my grandchild.
Yes. We will see if the child ever sees the light of day.
I vote for king Harald
as the new king of Norway!
- [Drums beating] - [People cheering]
I cast my vote...
For king Harald!
- [Splashes] - [People cheering]
[Birds chirping]
Come on then! Attack us!
We are not afraid!
You have made a big mistake.
I have fought with men whose names you should never be allowed to utter!
I have fought with ragnar lothbrok!
I have fought with rollo and floki.
I have lived a real life!
Come and fight me!
I long for Valhalla!
- [Arrows swishing] - [Grunting]
[Boy screaming]
[Grunting]
[Both grunt]
It has always been his dream!
It has always been his ambition! And now...
It has come to pass.
I cast my vote...
For king Harald!
Hail king Harald! King over all Norway!
[All cheering]
[Horn blowing]
[Woman imitates cawing]

Come on!
[Gasping] Go, go!
[Man shouting indistinctly]
What is this?
Are you scared of a few women and old men?
Why don't you go back to the forest and live like dogs?
We may be skogarmaors, but we can still reach Valhalla!
- [Drums beating] - [People shouting]
Thank you.
Thank you!
And so it has been fated.
And who are we to question the wisdom of the gods?
Harald finehair,
you have been chosen to be the first king of all Norway.
Drink from the sacrificial cup.
- [Thumps] - [Bells chiming]
[Man] Kneel.
Let no one here
dispute this result,
but embrace it freely,
in the spirit of all gathered here today.
Harald finehair,
I crown you...
The first king of all Norway.
All hail king Harald...
King of all Norway!
- [Drums beating] - [People cheering]
Allfather...
Odin!
[Sighs in relief]
[All cheering]
[Harald] Ironside! Bjorn!
Bjorn!
No hard feelings.
It was a fair fight! [Gasps]
And, unbelievably, all of us settled our differences peacefully.
Who would have thought that could happen?
- Who would have thought? - [Harald laughs]
Tonight...
We will feast together! All of us!
- [Crowd cheering] - Yeah!
Yeah! Together!
[Breathing heavily]
I hope you will join us.
I will need your advice
and your experience and your strength
in the months and the years to come.
- I'll be there. - Thank you, my friend.
Thank you. Thank you all!
Tonight, there is a grand feast!
[Crowd cheering]
[Harald] Thank you, my friends!
We will dine!
Lageflha!
Shield-maiden!
Queen of kattegat! [Breathing heavily]
Your son banished me. Took away everything I had.
My family, my pride, my identity.
He thought I would just crawl away to the forest and die like some animal.
But that is not my way.
I fought for ivar, but in other circumstances,
I would have fought for bjorn or for you!
I am viking!
Bjorn did this to me.
I can never get rid of it.
But now, I can win back my self-respect.
I can kill you, lagertha...
The most famous shield-maiden in all the world!
And iwill!
My son didn't brand you for being loyal to ivar!
He branded you for being disloyal to ragnar,
and everything ragnar stood for!
And if! Have to die for what ragnar and I believed in,
it is worth it.
Good. Then be prepared.
- [Grunting] - [Metal clashing]
[Shield breaking]
[Breathing heavily]
- [Both grunting] - [Swords clashing]
[Both panting]
You're getting tired, white hair.
[Groans]
I can tell. You're tiring.
You're weak, aren't you?
- [Both grunting] - [Swords clashing]
- You're weak! - [Both breathing heavily]
You're slow!
You're tired.
[Yells]
What's wrong, white hair?
Make yourself feel better, shield-maiden, but you should know,
I never get tired!
[Both grunting]
[Woman] Lagertha.
[Breathing heavily]
Stay back.
[Grunts]
[Both grunting]

[Slow dramatic music playing]

[Blood splashing]
[Breathing heavily]
[Sword thuds]
It's all right.
I am a shield-maiden.
I know how to fight. I have fought for my life many times.
But I have never seen anything like what you just did.
If I didn't worship you before, lagertha, iworship you now.
May the gods in all their wisdom keep you alive, for all of our sakes.
[Swords thumping]
[All] Lagertha. Lagertha. Lagertha...
[Grunting]
[Breathing heavily]
[Choir singing]
[Priest speaking in Greek]
- [Indistinct chattering] - Sko|! You're a good man!
- [Man] To Harald! Skol! - [All cheering]
Oh, my goodness!
Maybe we will see each other later.
- I hope so. [Laughs] - I don't know.
- Thank you! - [Woman] Congratulations”
- to Harald! - You, too.
Oh!
- Thank you, my friends. Thank you! - [Both laughing]
We trust you, king Harald. We believe in you.
We believe that everything will change now.
- I gave you my word. - And that's enough for me.
Oh, everything changes. Who cares about the sons of ragnar, huh?
They are the old rulers, they are the old elite.
They think they have a divine right to rule.
Bjorn thought he had a divine right to win!
- But it's not true. - [Chuckles]
[Shouting] The people should rule!
[Cheenng]
The people should win!
Yeah!
This is what our new country is all about!
The people!
[All cheering]
And I am the champion of the people! I am the king of the people!
[All cheering]
And you can see by the result. You believe in me!
- [All cheering] - Skol!
King olaf! Everybody, king olaf!
[Laughs]
I hope you're going to be true to your word.
You promised that whoever won,
you would renounce your kingdom in his favor.
[All applauding]
So, how did you win?
I still don't understand.
You mean because bjorn Ironside was supposed to win.
- That's how you planned it. - [Crowd booing]
No wonder people rebelled!
-[All cheering]
- No one wants to be told what to do! - [All] No!
Skol, friends! Feast!
[Chucang]
My people, my warriors.
- [Man] To the new king! - [Woman] King of Norway!
Long live king Harald!
What did you promise to all of them
that made them all change their minds?
What do you think I promised?
I promised each of them what they wanted to hear.
Hmm.
Whatever that was.
[Chuckles] Whatever that was.
And how do you plan
to deliver on your promise to all of them?
[Sniffs]
Who cares?
Listen, you stupid old man,
I always said it was my fate to become king of all Norway,
and here I am.
But do you really think I arranged all this?
Don't you think it was fate?
Do you not believe that the gods were behind it?
Oh! But I forgot. You don't believe in our gods anymore.
You don't believe in anything.
You think everything is just a dream.
[People chattering indistinctly]
Let's feast! [Laughs heartily]
[All cheering]
[Ivar] May I be the first to congratulate the bride and the groom
on this momentous day.
- Skol. - Skol.
And may Odin, freyr and Freya also bless our marriage.
Yes, to Odin the allfather, and to freyr and Freya.
[Snaps fingers]
- To Odin... - Skol.
And the gods.
Katia told me that she reminds you of someone.
Yes.
My wife.
You had a child with your wife.
How did you know that?
I know a great many things about you...
Ivar, the boneless.
Am I not a prophet?
Do you mind if I take off this dress?
It's too hot in here.
Of course, my darling. I'm sure ivar won't mind.
Ivar can help.
Can you undo it...
Ivar?
[Objects clattering]
[Both moaning and breathing heavily]
I don't want to stay.
You have to stay, clear ivar.
And you have to watch. It's good for you.
[Both continue moaning and breathing heavily]
[Chuckles]
[Indistinct chattering]
Gunnhild.
Gunnhild?
[Chuckles]
I have to thank you, ketill flatnose.
You have been very helpful to me.
Although I'm still not sure why.
You can arrange to send new settlers to Iceland.
Uh-huh.
I want to be king... of Iceland.
And you can make it happen.
[Harald sighs]
So, what will happen to bjorn now?
No, I have no plans for bjorn,
but I'm sure he will accept the verdict of the people.
He is not here.
Once again...
I'm grateful for your advice.
[Indistinct chatter]
Move!
Where is he?
- Bjorn, you have to leave. - What do you mean?
Harald is going to kill you.
How do you know?
Don't ask questions. You must go. Now, before it's too late.
[Thudding]
[All grunting]
[Bjorn] Ketill!
[Both grunting]
[Fihuds]
- [Grunts] - Let's go!
- [All grunting] - [Slashes]
[Breathing heavily] Ketill!
- Ketill! - I'm sorry, bjorn. [Groans]
[Panting]
You see this, bjorn?
You've done this to me. Now, I'm going to do this to you.
- [Grunts] - [Slashes]
[All grunting and groaning]
Come on. Come with me, I have a boat waiting.
No, we have to take him.
No time. He's too badly wounded.
There's still time!
- [Panting] Get up, you fat ass! - [Groaning]
[Bjorn] Move!
[Both grunting]
Come on, you fat ass.
- Move! - Go!
Move!
- [Man] Haul! - [Breathing heavily]
[Man] Row!
[Sighs]
What are you doing?
I'm going back to kattegat.
I need to tell them what has happened here.
Maybe bjorn has come back.
I need to tell my son.
I need to see my son.
- I'm coming with you. - No.
You are wounded.
And you are with child, with bjorn's child.
Blessings.
And if you see bjorn, tell him I love him, too.
He cannot escape my love.
I'll tell him.
Look after Asa.
[Seagull squawks]
- [Breathing heavily] - [Water splashing]
[Rowers grunting]
Rest up.
I owe you my life, stranger.
What is your name?
- Erik. - Just Erik?
Yes.
I don't know why you did what you did.
- Is it because I am a son of ragnar? - No.
I'm too young to remember ragnar.
I did what I did for bjorn Ironside.
Where are you from?
I'm an outlaw.
As a youth, I was intemperate, hot-headed.
Got involved in a feud over the death of some slaves,
killed two of my neighbors in the fight.
For that, I was banished from my homeland.
How do you survive?
Move around a lot.
Live in the shadows with my friends here.
Offer my services as warrior...
Help people out.
Settle scores...
For money, or for food.
I'm in your debt.
For what it is worth, I offer you my protection.
It is very kind of you,
but I noticed that you lost the election.
[Sighs]
So, I hope there is a future for both of us, bjorn Ironside.

He's coming! He's coming!
- Who? - Ivar. Ivar.
- He's not coming. - But you don't know.
You, you don't hear him.
He's almost here. He's, he's coming from the skies.
It's not true, hvitserk.
He's not a god, and you know he's not a god!
[Groaning]
You have to sleep.
How can I sleep when ivar's coming to kill me? Huh?
- You want him to kill me? - [Crying] No, of course I don't.
Then shut your mouth!
This is between him and me! His fate and my fate!
- [Breathing heavily] - [Thunderclap]
It's here. It's arrived.
You mustn't go out.
You're sick, hvitserk! You're sick!
If you go out, what will you do?

[Grunting]
It is what the seer foretold...
That one day, I would be killed by a son of ragnar.
- [Breathes deeply] - [Grunting]
I cannot escape it.
Nor could you.
Weep not, poor hvitserk.
Tonight, I sit with my beloved ragnar
in the halls of the gods.
- I... I've lived a full life. - [Shudders]
I am not afraid.
