["If I had a heart" playing]
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
[vocalizing]
If I had a voice I would sing
[Whispers] Stay with me.
Keep together.
Put down your weapons. They're not going to attack us.
Peminuit.
Torvi.
Ragnar.
[In mi'kmaq]
I think he wants us to go with him.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Then let's go.
[Murmuring indistinctly]
Pekitaulet.
[Baby crying]
Oh. [Shushing]
Ragnar.
- [Baby continues crying] - Oh.
[Baby cooing]
[All laugh]
[Saxton captain 1] Steady the horses! Good!
Scouts, ride up among those hills.
See if there is any sightings or evidence of the viking army.
Yes, my lord Alfred.
Here! Here!
[Saxton captain 2] You men! I want you on the Ridge now!
It's a precaution.
Even now, I suspect, lvar's army will have reached the royal villa.
To find it deserted. Abandoned. The king fled.
How greatly he will enjoy setting it afire.
My sweet elsewith, you cannot fault me more than I fault myself.
It would've been a braver thing to remain at the villa.
I could have chosen martyrdom.
We could all have died with easy consciences.
Forgive me, I have chosen a harder path.
I have chosen to try and survive, and I cannot think that god will blame me.
And whether he blames me or not, my mind is set.
We will meet lvar's army at a time and place of our choosing.
In this final battle, which god knows I dread,
I believe we shall be victorious.
If I did not believe it with all my heart, then we would not be here.
Amen. A thousand times, amen.
[Nissa] Here.
[Erik grunts]
[Erik sighs]
Why don't you talk anymore?
[Erik] What is there to talk about?
I am blind. I cannot see.
I do not know what is happening around me.
And you never share.
Very well.
If it means anything to you, amongst other things,
I have dispatched a trusted fellow to go to that place in Denmark
where the king has been converted to christianity.
I thought it was the least I could do.
And what is this "trusted fellow" supposed to do?
- Assassinate the king, of course. - [Scoffs]
We all have a duty to preserve the old ways.
You take all the decisions.
Would you have objected to that?
[Laughs]
If I had objected,
would it have made any difference, hmm?
[Footsteps depart]
[Thunder rumbling]
[Viking] Place it down here and cover it up!
- [Lowing] - [Thunder rumbling]
Orlyg.
Go away.
Why are you crying?
How can things be worse than this?
We don't exist here.
We have lost everything.
I can be free.
[Laughs] Really? How?
Do they give you wings? Can you fly away?
I can be free if I do something for lord Erik.
What do you have to do?
I can't say.
You better say it, because I want to be free, too.
It's the only thing that matters!
I have to kill queen Ingrid.
Very well.
Then we'll do it together.
What is it about the forests?
[Leof] People go into the forest to collect mushrooms
or capture a stray animal, and they never return.
[Galan] There are creatures in the forest.
Strange creatures who spring up out of the ground
if they hear your footsteps.
The devil himself lives in the forest...
And he walks up and down in it.
My lord.
Please, sit. You'll need your strength.
Be of good cheer. All of you.
Put your faith in god, and be not afraid.
[Loon calling]
[Torvi] I like these people.
I don't believe they mean us any harm.
I agree.
I also think we will need their help if we are to survive here.
Then let's return their hospitality and invite them to visit us.
Yes, we should do that.
The sagamaw spoke words in our language.
How is that possible?
[In mi'kmaq] Hello.
Hello.
Thank you.
[Indistinct conversation]
[Viking in English] It is made of iron.
[Indistinct chattering in mi'kmaq]
[Speaking indistinctly]
[In native tongue] Iron.
- [Grunts] - [All exclaim]
[All laugh]
Everything is here.
The story of myself.
The story of my race.
Here is where I was burned.
The flames consumed me.
Took away my skin,
- then re-made me. - [Baby whines]
In this image.
In this form.
But my heart is as old
as your hearts, my friends.
My heart is as old as wood.
As old as a tall tree...
In the forest.
[In native tongue]
Gold. Yes? Gold.
[In mi'kmaq] Gold.
[In English] Where is the gold? Where?
Still warm.
[Groans]
[Grunts]
Take it.
[Distant indistinct shouting]
[Saxon captain 1] Hold the line!
Keep formation!
Steady, I say!
[Saxon captain 2] On me, men!
[Saxon captain 1] Go on, and hold the line!
[Saxon captain 2] On me, men!
[Saxon captain 1] You let it fall! Hold it!
[Grunts]
[Saxon captain 1] Haiti
[Saxon captain 2] Haiti
[Saxon captain 2] Stand...
Fast!
- [Saxon captain 1] Swords! - [Saxon captain 2] Weapons!
- Guard the queen. - Yes, my lord.
- Protect the queen. - [Soldier] Yes, my lord.
Line one, advance!
[Harald] I don't understand. What do you mean?
You want to "cripple" them?
If we kill 500 saxons, then we just kill 500 saxons.
Hmm.
[Ivar] If we manage to cripple and injure 500 saxons,
but not to kill them,
then it will take 1,000 more saxons to come and rescue them.
That is three times the amount of warriors, and all at our mercy.
Line two! Advance!
[Saxon captain 1] Line two! Advance!
Third line! Advance!
[Saxon captain 1] Line three! Advance!
But how can you be sure that king Alfred will try to rescue them?
[Ivar] Because he's a Christian.
He cares about them.
[Soldiers screaming]
[Screaming continues]
[Soldier] God save us!
[Screaming continues]
[Horn blows]
[Laughs]
[Horn continues blowing]
[Soldiers screaming]
[Breathing heavily]
Help them!
What shall we do, my lord Alfred?
My lord, do we go back or fonnard?
[Horn sounding]
[Yelling]
Soldiers! With me!
Advance!
[Soldiers yelling]
[Alfred] To battle!
[Grunting]
- [Horse neighs] - [Alfred grunts]
[Grunts]
Ah!
[Soldier groans]
[Soldiers screaming]
[Soldier groaning]
[Yells]
Come out and fight, you coward! Ivar!
[Ivar] And then,
when Alfred believes that it cannot get any worse...
I shall make it worse. I shall take his queen.
Impossible. She'll be heavily protected.
How do we get past the queen's guard? I mean, it's...
That's simple.
We just walk right up to them and take her.
- [Gasping] - [Maid] Help us! God help us!
God help us!
The lord is with us, my lady!
[Elsewith screaming]
- [Grunts] - [Maid screams]
[Elsewith yelling]
- No! - [Viking] Hold her! Keep her still!
[Laughs]
You are crazy.
You truly are crazy.
[Gasping]
Elsewith!
Here! Wait!
[Gasping, choking]
[Alfred yelling]
- [Whimpers] - [Baby crying]
[Alfred grunts]
[Grunts]
[Yells]
[Alfred grunts]
[Yelling]
[Breathing heavily]
[Men yelling and grunting]
- [Exhales slowly] - [Battle noise fading]
[Battle noise resumes]
I can't see anything.
Now!
[Horn sounding]
[Saxon captain] Fall back!
Come on!
Let's get out of here!
[Soldier] Which way?
[Panting]
[Spits]
[Chuckles]
[Breathing heavily]
My lord Alfred, if I may advise you, now is the time to retreat.
We have found men who know this place and can guide us safely out of...
We will not retreat.
My lord, if we stay here, I fear things may end badly.
Lord, I beg you!
You heard my command! We shall not retreat.
Because Jesus Christ is with us. I saw him.
He is on the battlefield, and we will not leave his side.
[Man] Fall back!
[Panting]
[Chuckles]
[Grunts]
[Groans]
You are dying.
Valhalla.
Valhalla? [Scoffs] There is no such place.
[Grunting]
[Coughs, groans]
You will die here alone...
And forgotten.
[Groaning]
[Halfdan speaking in native tongue]
Brother.
[Groans weakly]
[Coughing]
[Gasps]
[9393]
Valhalla.
[Gasps]
[Harald coughs]
[Singing in native tongue]
[Harald sings along]
[Mutters indistinctly]
[Shallow breathing]
[Men singing in native tongue]
- How do we kill her? - [Chuckles]
How do you want to kill her?
I'm asking you.
We can poison her.
What poisons do you know?
I don't know any poisons.
We can stab her.
Do you think?
I think that is the best way.
But Erik must be far away, and not involved.
I'll get him to fuck me. He does it all the time.
He won't be there.
Then it's just you and her.
- Where are we going to do it? - Somewhere.
I want to do it right here, right now. [Laughs]
There's a place nearby. It's close.
[Door creaks]
[Erik chuckles]
[Moaning]
[Chuckles]
Come here.
[Groans]
Come here. [Laughs]
Ah!
[Erik laughs]
Oh! Come back.
Come back to your king!
[Erik continues laughing]
Why do you want to kill me, orlyg?
Who told you to kill me?
[Erik continues laughing]
[Breathing heavily]
I know you're still there.
I won't hurt you. I won't kill you.
I just want you to tell me who asked you to kill me.
Was it Erik?
[Sighs]
There. That wasn't so hard, was it?
[Orlyg grunts]
[Erik] I know you're here. I can smell you.
[Laughs]
[Breathing heavily]
I'm here.
I myself am here.
- [Grunts] - [Yells]
- [Grunting] - [Erik groans]
[Choking]
[Panting frantically]
- [Choking] - [Man 1] Traitor!
Kill him.
[Man 2] Traitor.
He had it coming.
[Loon calling]
[Chuckles softy]
Ragnar.
This is our story.
Crazy man!
Hello, floki.
[Chuckles]
