More, give me more
Give me more

00:00:12,806 --> 00:00:17,811
If I had a heart
I could love you
4
00:00:18,395 --> 00:00:22,024
If I had a voice
I would sing
5
00:00:24,067 --> 00:00:28,071
After the night
When I wake up
6
00:00:29,281 --> 00:00:33,744
I'll see
What tomorrow brings
7
00:00:35,078 --> 00:00:39,708
[vocalizing]
8
00:00:40,918 --> 00:00:44,922
If I had a voice
I would sing

[indistinct shouting]
12
00:01:16,703 --> 00:01:18,288
Jarl Thorkell.
13
00:01:18,372 --> 00:01:19,873
- [Thorkell] King Olaf.
- Greetings.
14
00:01:20,415 --> 00:01:22,209
- Welcome.
- I was surprised
15
00:01:22,292 --> 00:01:23,460
to receive your summons.
16
00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:24,753
Is it really true
17
00:01:24,836 --> 00:01:27,965
that you want us all to vote
for a king of all Norway?
18
00:01:29,258 --> 00:01:30,676
If it wasn't true,
19
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:34,429
I wouldn't have wasted your time
by summoning you here.
20
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:38,684
You are asking us all to renounce
21
00:01:38,767 --> 00:01:41,561
that which is most dear
and precious to us...
22
00:01:42,729 --> 00:01:43,855
our power.
23
00:01:44,314 --> 00:01:46,650
Oh, Thorkell,
24
00:01:46,984 --> 00:01:51,613
your power resides in your prestige,
25
00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:54,908
in the willingness
of your warriors to fight
26
00:01:54,992 --> 00:01:56,326
and die for you.
27
00:01:56,410 --> 00:01:57,744
That will not change.
28
00:01:58,078 --> 00:02:01,873
All I am asking,
that there should be an overlord,
29
00:02:02,249 --> 00:02:05,544
to whom we could all owe our allegiance.
30
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:09,965
A king of all Norway who will defend us
31
00:02:10,215 --> 00:02:12,467
from all external forces.
32
00:02:13,218 --> 00:02:14,803
That is my dream.
33
00:02:15,595 --> 00:02:19,266
Surely, that's not
too much to ask, is it?
34
00:02:24,146 --> 00:02:25,355
[goat bleats]
35
00:02:29,318 --> 00:02:30,902

[horses neighing]
37
00:02:47,002 --> 00:02:48,378
[Lagertha] Thank the gods.
38
00:02:48,712 --> 00:02:50,005
You're here.
39
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,846
But why?
40
00:02:59,431 --> 00:03:00,891
I had a dream, Lagertha.
41
00:03:02,059 --> 00:03:04,019
And in my dream,
your village was attacked.
42
00:03:04,853 --> 00:03:06,146
So, I wanted to be with you.
43
00:03:06,730 --> 00:03:08,315
You and Torvi's children.
44
00:03:09,274 --> 00:03:11,693
I was afraid
that something had happened.
45
00:03:13,695 --> 00:03:15,072
Hali is dead.
46
00:03:16,198 --> 00:03:17,198
[sighs]
47
00:03:17,824 --> 00:03:18,867
It was my fault.
48
00:03:19,076 --> 00:03:20,702
I did not protect him.
49
00:03:20,786 --> 00:03:21,787
I failed.
50
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:28,085
He's buried not far from a village
which he tried to protect.
51
00:03:29,086 --> 00:03:31,296
With all the others
who also died in the raid.
52
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:32,756
So it's true?
53
00:03:32,839 --> 00:03:35,717
Your dream? Yes.
We were attacked by bandits.
54
00:03:36,635 --> 00:03:38,678
The same bandits
that Bjorn branded and released.
55
00:03:38,762 --> 00:03:40,514
Then perhaps Bjorn made a mistake?
56
00:03:40,597 --> 00:03:41,699
He should never have released them.
57
00:03:41,723 --> 00:03:43,683
Don't talk of mistakes!
We all make mistakes,
58
00:03:44,142 --> 00:03:47,479
sometimes for bad reasons
and sometimes for good ones.
59
00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:50,273
In any case,
60
00:03:50,357 --> 00:03:52,067
it is not important anymore.
61
00:03:52,401 --> 00:03:54,569
What's important is that I am certain,
62
00:03:54,653 --> 00:03:56,738
since they did not manage
to steal our grain,
63
00:03:56,822 --> 00:03:58,532
that they will attack again soon.
64
00:04:00,283 --> 00:04:02,035
It is a good thing that we are here.
65
00:04:03,036 --> 00:04:04,162
We have to make plans.
66
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:07,457
Even with your shield-maidens,
67
00:04:07,541 --> 00:04:10,001
I'm not sure we can resist
White Hair and his bandits,
68
00:04:10,085 --> 00:04:11,586
not a second time.
69
00:04:14,548 --> 00:04:17,676
Those are not words
I ever expected to hear from Lagertha,
70
00:04:18,301 --> 00:04:19,845
the famous shield-maiden.
71
00:04:22,764 --> 00:04:25,642
Perhaps that Lagertha is already dead.
72
00:04:28,145 --> 00:04:29,563
I buried her myself.
73
00:04:31,356 --> 00:04:32,983
Then I had to dig her up again.
74
00:04:34,359 --> 00:04:35,902
But she is not the same.
75
00:04:37,028 --> 00:04:38,488
She can never be the same.
76
00:04:51,001 --> 00:04:52,377
[shield-maidens trilling]
77
00:04:52,752 --> 00:04:53,752

[Hvitserk] Come here! Come on!

81
00:05:07,809 --> 00:05:09,519
Yes, yes! Come on!

Push!
83

Push and push and push! Here!
84
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,404
Come on! Help me out! Come on!
85
00:05:20,572 --> 00:05:23,825
Come on, guys! Come on! Go on! Help me!

Come on! Come on! Help me!
87
00:05:26,912 --> 00:05:30,874
Yes! Well done! You!
You push! You! You push!
88
00:05:30,957 --> 00:05:32,083
Push! Come on!
89
00:05:35,253 --> 00:05:36,588
Push! Come on, help push!
90
00:05:36,713 --> 00:05:38,882
Hvitserk! What is this?
91
00:05:38,965 --> 00:05:42,385
This is one of the iron gates
that Ivar made to protect the town.
92
00:05:43,929 --> 00:05:45,347
But what do you want it for?
93
00:05:46,723 --> 00:05:48,433
I need it for my own protection.
94
00:05:49,726 --> 00:05:51,394
It's the only way
to keep out the ghosts.
95
00:05:53,146 --> 00:05:54,146
[grunts]
96
00:05:54,189 --> 00:05:58,235
Go on! Push it! Come on!
97
00:05:58,318 --> 00:06:02,155
Come on! Yes! Go on!

100
00:06:13,625 --> 00:06:14,751
[woman] Inge has them.
101
00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:17,963
Come, Inge. Come. Bring some more!
102
00:06:18,463 --> 00:06:19,714
[man] Who did this?
103
00:06:23,051 --> 00:06:24,177
Hey!
104
00:06:26,263 --> 00:06:27,347
[laughs]
105
00:06:33,895 --> 00:06:34,938
Gunnhild.
106
00:06:35,021 --> 00:06:37,232
[woman] Yeah. Keep going.
Yeah. One more.
107
00:06:37,315 --> 00:06:38,567
Bring it over here.
108
00:06:39,234 --> 00:06:40,234
[both grunt]
109
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,698
[woman] Good, huh? It's finished.
Next one.
110
00:06:50,078 --> 00:06:53,081
[trilling]
111
00:06:55,584 --> 00:06:56,793
They won't expect this.
112
00:06:58,712 --> 00:06:59,712
No.
113
00:07:00,171 --> 00:07:01,798
But who knows if it's enough?
114
00:07:08,263 --> 00:07:09,681
Have you heard anything from Bjorn?
115
00:07:14,102 --> 00:07:15,353
I know he will return.
116
00:07:18,690 --> 00:07:19,691
Yes.
117
00:07:24,404 --> 00:07:25,447
Look.
118
00:07:34,497 --> 00:07:36,207
[woman talking indistinctly]
119
00:07:45,717 --> 00:07:47,510
Aw. Oh.

121
00:07:52,223 --> 00:07:53,223
[chuckles softly]
122
00:07:56,061 --> 00:07:57,228
Poor Asa.
123
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,440
[woman] Smells good.
124
00:08:03,485 --> 00:08:05,153
I cannot wait for that.
125
00:08:05,362 --> 00:08:06,488
I was so thirsty. Yes.
126
00:08:06,571 --> 00:08:07,947
Too much.
127
00:08:08,031 --> 00:08:10,158
It will be. Worth the wait.
128
00:08:11,785 --> 00:08:12,869
Who does she think she is?
129
00:08:15,497 --> 00:08:17,540
Of course. It's a long way.
130
00:08:19,751 --> 00:08:20,960
What is it that you see?
131
00:08:22,796 --> 00:08:24,172
I see myself, Lagertha.
132
00:08:25,215 --> 00:08:26,925
That's how I was, all those years ago.
133
00:08:27,550 --> 00:08:28,927
That's how we all were.
134
00:08:29,886 --> 00:08:31,513
Now it's like seeing ghosts.
135
00:08:31,596 --> 00:08:32,596
[laughing]
136
00:08:34,641 --> 00:08:36,059
For some reason, I want to weep.
137
00:08:37,227 --> 00:08:40,271
But for as much joy to see myself again.
138
00:08:41,272 --> 00:08:43,525
Come. Join our feast.
139
00:08:44,109 --> 00:08:46,027
We will be shield-maidens together.
140
00:08:46,736 --> 00:08:47,904
Yes!
141
00:08:48,113 --> 00:08:49,739

00:09:21,896 --> 00:09:22,981
[metal creaking, thuds]
151
00:09:23,064 --> 00:09:25,775
Go away! Leave me alone! Go away!
152
00:09:32,031 --> 00:09:33,283
[wheezes in fear]
153
00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:36,369
[crying and whimpering]
154
00:09:39,831 --> 00:09:41,291
[Thora] Look at me, Hvitserk.
155
00:09:41,499 --> 00:09:43,209
Go away! Go away!
156
00:09:43,293 --> 00:09:45,044
Ivar did this to me.
157
00:09:46,463 --> 00:09:47,630
Look at me!
158
00:09:48,757 --> 00:09:50,216
Don't be afraid.
159
00:09:57,515 --> 00:09:58,850
Why have you come back here?
160
00:10:00,018 --> 00:10:01,352
Why do you want to haunt me?
161
00:10:01,436 --> 00:10:03,480
I want revenge.
162
00:10:04,522 --> 00:10:08,610
The only person who can avenge
my death, Hvitserk, is you.
163
00:10:09,277 --> 00:10:11,196
Tell me. Tell me how.
164
00:10:11,571 --> 00:10:13,740
You have to kill Ivar.
165
00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:15,784
Ivar killed me.
166
00:10:16,743 --> 00:10:18,244
He killed my family.
167
00:10:20,163 --> 00:10:21,623
You will do it, won't you?
168
00:10:22,957 --> 00:10:24,334
You will avenge me?
169
00:10:24,584 --> 00:10:26,669
- Yes.
- Promise.
170
00:10:28,463 --> 00:10:30,131
Swear on your sacred arm ring.
171
00:10:38,348 --> 00:10:39,390
I swear.
172
00:10:41,392 --> 00:10:42,560
[panting]
173
00:10:43,144 --> 00:10:45,939
I swear. I swear.
174
00:10:46,523 --> 00:10:47,816
I told you, I swear!

- [grunts]
- [people cheer]
178
00:11:42,662 --> 00:11:45,331
I, uh...
I would like to propose a toast...
179
00:11:46,749 --> 00:11:48,585
to Bjorn Ironside.
180
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,086
This is our first meeting,
181
00:11:50,169 --> 00:11:53,464
but over the years I've heard
all about your exploits
182
00:11:53,548 --> 00:11:55,758
from the wanderers and poets
in my Great Hall.
183
00:11:55,842 --> 00:11:58,511
It's a great honor
to meet you in person at last.
184
00:11:58,595 --> 00:11:59,721
Skol.
185
00:11:59,804 --> 00:12:00,805
Skol.
186
00:12:01,014 --> 00:12:02,223
- Skol.
- Skol.
187
00:12:02,891 --> 00:12:04,058
You are too kind.
188
00:12:04,809 --> 00:12:07,520
But I too have heard stories
of Thorkell the Tall
189
00:12:07,604 --> 00:12:09,397
and his brothers
Herring and Earl Sigvald.
190
00:12:10,356 --> 00:12:12,859
In a country such as ours,
as small as ours,
191
00:12:13,651 --> 00:12:14,694
fame spreads easily.
192
00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:16,362
So they say, Bjorn Ironside.
193
00:12:16,863 --> 00:12:21,784
So, the plan is for all of us
to appoint you as king?
194
00:12:22,035 --> 00:12:24,871
Elect him as king, elect.
195
00:12:25,288 --> 00:12:26,623
That is our way.
196
00:12:26,706 --> 00:12:29,876
In which case, King Olaf, I insist
that it must be a real election.
197
00:12:30,543 --> 00:12:34,631
And that anyone else, be he a king,
or even a simple Jarl like me,
198
00:12:34,714 --> 00:12:36,257
can also stand, if they wish.
199
00:12:37,342 --> 00:12:39,802
[sighs] In principle, yes.
200
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:44,641
But you know how we Norwegians are.
201
00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:48,394
You give them a chance
to quarrel and to fight,
202
00:12:48,478 --> 00:12:51,481
and then they will quarrel and fight.
203
00:12:52,398 --> 00:12:54,484
Still, Jarl Thorkell has a point.
204
00:12:54,984 --> 00:12:56,277
Yes. And I agree with him.
205
00:12:56,945 --> 00:13:00,198
Personally, I would never want to
be made king in an uncontested election.
206
00:13:02,367 --> 00:13:04,077
I have no desire to wear a hollow crown.
207
00:13:08,498 --> 00:13:10,959
As you wish, Bjorn Ironside.
208
00:13:12,043 --> 00:13:13,252
As you wish.
209
00:13:14,462 --> 00:13:16,547
- [people shouting]
- [grunting]
210
00:13:16,631 --> 00:13:18,299
[people cheering]
211
00:13:38,277 --> 00:13:39,904
Bjorn Ironside.
212
00:13:43,324 --> 00:13:45,076
Jarl Hrolf.
213
00:13:47,161 --> 00:13:48,161
[kisses]
214
00:13:48,746 --> 00:13:50,039
Welcome.
215
00:13:51,374 --> 00:13:53,584
I hope we have the opportunity to talk.
216
00:13:53,793 --> 00:13:55,670
I hope so too, Bjorn Ironside.
217
00:13:56,713 --> 00:13:59,048
Really, I do.
218
00:14:05,805 --> 00:14:07,223
Ah, King Hakon!
219
00:14:07,390 --> 00:14:09,225
[Hakon] Bjorn Ironside.
220
00:14:09,434 --> 00:14:10,560
You don't know this,
221
00:14:10,643 --> 00:14:13,354
but I fought beside you
and your father at the gates of Paris.
222
00:14:13,521 --> 00:14:14,772
Ah! [chuckles]
223
00:14:15,356 --> 00:14:16,356
I was a young man then,
224
00:14:17,025 --> 00:14:18,401
and I still had a right hand.
225
00:14:19,152 --> 00:14:20,570
Yeah, what happened to your hand?
226
00:14:20,695 --> 00:14:23,072
In a sea battle against him...
227
00:14:23,322 --> 00:14:24,657
Thorkell the Tall.
228
00:14:25,199 --> 00:14:26,534
I was boarding his ship.
229
00:14:27,243 --> 00:14:28,619
The deck was slippery.
230
00:14:28,703 --> 00:14:30,371
I put out my hand to steady myself,
231
00:14:31,372 --> 00:14:33,291
and somebody took
the opportunity to remove it.
232
00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:35,126
[chuckles]
233
00:14:35,585 --> 00:14:37,920
But now it seems
we never have to fight again.
234
00:14:38,129 --> 00:14:39,464
Not against each other.
235
00:14:39,922 --> 00:14:41,424
Why fight our own countrymen?
236
00:14:41,841 --> 00:14:43,134
It's what we've always done.
237
00:14:43,259 --> 00:14:45,261
That doesn't make it right or sensible.
238
00:14:45,470 --> 00:14:47,430
The fact is, we need to unify Norway
239
00:14:48,264 --> 00:14:50,683
to withstand possible attacks
from our larger neighbors,
240
00:14:50,767 --> 00:14:52,351
like Sweden or Denmark.
241
00:14:52,769 --> 00:14:55,563
I agree, it does make
some sort of sense.
242
00:14:55,897 --> 00:14:59,192
And to have a figurehead like you,
Bjorn Ironside, huh?
243
00:14:59,275 --> 00:15:00,526
Son of Ragnar,
244
00:15:00,610 --> 00:15:02,862
who is known and respected
throughout our Viking world.
245
00:15:03,988 --> 00:15:05,573
Makes even more sense, I have to say.
246
00:15:07,450 --> 00:15:08,534
You have my vote,
247
00:15:09,285 --> 00:15:10,703
Bjorn Ironside.
248
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:11,870
[kisses]
249
00:15:15,917 --> 00:15:17,919
Two more ships have just arrived.
250
00:15:18,586 --> 00:15:21,756
Who knew there were
so many kings and earls in Norway?
251
00:15:22,215 --> 00:15:24,842
It seems that they...
they grow on trees.
252
00:15:25,051 --> 00:15:27,345
Yes. Let me greet the newcomers.
253
00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:30,223
I can explain our purpose
as well as you do.
254
00:15:31,182 --> 00:15:32,308
Thank you, my friend.
255
00:15:39,232 --> 00:15:41,275
[horses neighing]
256
00:15:41,776 --> 00:15:42,856
[men shouting indistinctly]
257
00:15:51,244 --> 00:15:52,453
My prince.
258
00:15:52,662 --> 00:15:54,038
I'm sure you can hear me.
259
00:15:54,831 --> 00:15:57,125
But you are probably counting
all the furrows
260
00:15:57,208 --> 00:16:00,253
in the lands and the clouds
in the sky that belong to you.
261
00:16:01,712 --> 00:16:03,422
But I want to talk of something else.
262
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:09,053
I want to ask you if you would like
to play a trick on poor Dir.
263
00:16:11,848 --> 00:16:14,267
[Igor] What kind of trick,
my dear Boneless?
264
00:16:14,851 --> 00:16:17,353
Something that will amuse you, I hope.
265
00:16:17,979 --> 00:16:19,480
I like to be amused.
266
00:16:19,981 --> 00:16:21,440
Is it a magic trick?
267
00:16:22,191 --> 00:16:23,860
I like magic tricks.
268
00:16:24,152 --> 00:16:25,528
Yes. It's a magic trick.
269
00:16:25,987 --> 00:16:26,987
What do you say?
270
00:16:27,363 --> 00:16:29,323
Would you like to help me do it?
271
00:16:32,201 --> 00:16:34,453
What are we going to do, my fellow king?
272
00:16:35,538 --> 00:16:36,538
[chuckles softly]
273
00:16:50,928 --> 00:16:52,180
Guards.
274
00:16:58,728 --> 00:17:00,855
Don't just stand there gawking.
275
00:17:01,272 --> 00:17:02,773
Let's see what she's up to.
276
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:04,609
[guard] Who is she?
277
00:17:19,707 --> 00:17:20,750
Help me.
278
00:17:24,378 --> 00:17:25,378
[grunting]
279
00:18:03,876 --> 00:18:04,877
Go.
280
00:18:09,507 --> 00:18:11,384
[grunting]
281
00:18:45,293 --> 00:18:46,460
[man shouting indistinctly]
282
00:18:46,544 --> 00:18:48,421
- Guards!
- [man] Guards!
283
00:18:48,546 --> 00:18:50,089
[men shouting indistinctly]
284
00:18:51,257 --> 00:18:52,257
[grunts]
285
00:18:54,051 --> 00:18:55,469
[alarm bell dinging]
286
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:02,268
[guards clamoring]
287
00:19:16,324 --> 00:19:17,950
- Take him! Take him.
- Dir!
288
00:19:23,372 --> 00:19:24,498
[Dir panting]
289
00:19:36,802 --> 00:19:39,347
This is not the last time,
Ivar Lothbrok.
290
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:41,307
We shall meet again soon.
291
00:19:43,351 --> 00:19:45,770
But for now, good night.
292
00:19:46,896 --> 00:19:48,022
Good night.
293
00:19:49,899 --> 00:19:50,900
Go.
294
00:19:51,025 --> 00:19:52,025
[horse neighs]
295
00:19:58,199 --> 00:19:59,283
[panting]
296
00:20:02,578 --> 00:20:04,246
Did we really do that?
297
00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:05,581
[laughing]
298
00:20:07,625 --> 00:20:08,625
Huh?
299
00:20:15,758 --> 00:20:17,051
[Oleg] I want to show you these.
300
00:20:18,969 --> 00:20:22,181
I know you cannot read them,
but let me explain what they are.
301
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:24,767
These are legal documents,
302
00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:29,313
giving the Rus ancient legal title
to our Scandinavian homelands.
303
00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:33,651
So that our invasion
has legitimate cause?
304
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:36,487
No. They are forgeries, of course.
305
00:20:37,655 --> 00:20:40,991
But a forged title, my friend,
is better than no title at all.
306
00:20:41,075 --> 00:20:42,993
- [man speaks indistinctly]
- Oh, our food.
307
00:21:04,098 --> 00:21:05,266
Who are these?
308
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:07,685
The guards who allowed
my brother to escape.
309
00:21:09,311 --> 00:21:10,813
We tortured them, of course.
310
00:21:12,231 --> 00:21:13,315
What did they say?
311
00:21:13,399 --> 00:21:14,399
They said...
312
00:21:15,109 --> 00:21:18,696
they were deliberately distracted
by a naked woman and left their posts.
313
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:21,866
They saw nothing else.
314
00:21:24,034 --> 00:21:25,453
And now they never will.
315
00:21:32,877 --> 00:21:35,880
I suppose you know nothing
about Dir's escape, do you?
316
00:21:39,133 --> 00:21:40,217
Igor?
317
00:21:40,885 --> 00:21:41,927
No.
318
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,645
You understand that with Dir free,
you are in more danger
319
00:21:51,729 --> 00:21:53,898
of being kidnapped than ever?
320
00:21:55,399 --> 00:21:56,399
Hmm?
321
00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:03,741
Now I have a more pleasant duty.
322
00:22:05,159 --> 00:22:06,577
I am to be married again.
323
00:22:08,662 --> 00:22:11,499
I want to introduce you
to my intended bride.
324
00:22:12,958 --> 00:22:14,585
This is Princess Katia.
325
00:22:23,010 --> 00:22:27,890
My dear Katia, may I present to you
my cousin and ward, Prince Igor.
326
00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:34,855
[Katia] Prince.
[kisses]
327
00:22:35,814 --> 00:22:36,941
[Ivar gasps softly]
328
00:22:38,776 --> 00:22:41,070
And this is the Viking king
I told you about.
329
00:22:41,737 --> 00:22:42,905
This is Ivar.
330
00:22:43,864 --> 00:22:46,283
The famous Ivar the Boneless.
331
00:22:49,870 --> 00:22:51,330
Princess.
332
00:22:53,207 --> 00:22:54,416
King Ivar.
333
00:22:56,585 --> 00:22:57,711
Let's eat.
334
00:23:00,631 --> 00:23:02,671
[whispers] You look as though
you have seen a ghost.
335
00:23:05,761 --> 00:23:06,971
Believe me, I have.
336
00:23:09,473 --> 00:23:10,558
[Oleg] Leave us.
337
00:23:11,058 --> 00:23:12,268
Please, enjoy your food.
338
00:23:15,813 --> 00:23:17,093
[Lagertha] Make sure it's tight.
339
00:23:24,071 --> 00:23:25,614
It has been a while, Lagertha.
340
00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,741
Perhaps they are not
coming back after all?
341
00:23:30,244 --> 00:23:31,328
I hope you're right.
342
00:23:32,871 --> 00:23:33,998
But you don't believe it.
343
00:23:34,873 --> 00:23:35,958
No.
344
00:23:36,709 --> 00:23:38,127
I think they will come.
345
00:23:41,005 --> 00:23:42,047
[exhales sharply]
346
00:23:42,798 --> 00:23:44,258
[indistinct chatter]
347
00:23:53,809 --> 00:23:57,688
I want to consider it. Yes, we'll talk.
348
00:24:02,067 --> 00:24:06,030
Yes. King Hakon.
Speaking of a warrior. Welcome.
349
00:24:07,156 --> 00:24:08,157
Good to see you here.
350
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,450
Jarl Hrolf.
351
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:11,076
Good to see you.
352
00:24:28,218 --> 00:24:29,803
[man shouts indistinctly]
353
00:24:41,565 --> 00:24:42,565
[man] The gate!
354
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,786
[man 1] Move along! Move along!
Move along!
355
00:24:53,869 --> 00:24:55,371
Move along. Move along.
356
00:24:55,454 --> 00:24:58,791
[man 2] Hurry up. Hurry. Hurry up.
Hurry up!
357
00:24:58,874 --> 00:25:00,584
Go! Go!
358
00:25:32,658 --> 00:25:33,951
[people cheer]
359
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:39,081
Princess.
360
00:25:40,457 --> 00:25:41,375
[exhales heavily]
361
00:25:41,376 --> 00:25:44,754
I've been waiting for the opportunity
to talk to you privately.
362
00:25:47,381 --> 00:25:50,968
Surely you understand
why I need to talk to you.
363
00:25:54,555 --> 00:25:56,598
Oleg is playing games with me.
364
00:25:57,975 --> 00:26:00,394
And why do you say so,
Ivar the Boneless?
365
00:26:00,769 --> 00:26:02,187
You are Freydis.
366
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:03,981
Freydis?
367
00:26:04,273 --> 00:26:05,566
I don't understand.
368
00:26:05,649 --> 00:26:07,025
Neither do I.
369
00:26:07,484 --> 00:26:10,279
But it is true. And you and I...
370
00:26:10,738 --> 00:26:12,197
were once married.
371
00:26:13,490 --> 00:26:14,783
Were we really?
372
00:26:15,951 --> 00:26:18,829
And what happened to us?
373
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:42,811
[indistinct chatter]
374
00:27:04,917 --> 00:27:06,293
Give me.
375
00:27:07,085 --> 00:27:08,629
How do you pay?
376
00:27:09,046 --> 00:27:10,839
You have not paid for days.
377
00:27:11,465 --> 00:27:13,217
I do not give for free.
378
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:14,760
[voice shaking] Give me.
379
00:27:18,013 --> 00:27:19,133
[Hvitserk breathing heavily]
380
00:27:20,766 --> 00:27:21,767
Come on.
381
00:27:22,476 --> 00:27:23,769
You must pay.
382
00:27:23,852 --> 00:27:25,062
Later.
383
00:27:25,145 --> 00:27:26,730
I'll ask my brother, Ubbe.
384
00:27:26,814 --> 00:27:28,565
You know Ubbe, right? You trust him?
385
00:27:29,066 --> 00:27:30,275
- Yes.
- Good.
386
00:27:30,567 --> 00:27:32,152
But I don't trust you.
387
00:27:32,820 --> 00:27:34,363
So, I give you nothing.
388
00:27:35,906 --> 00:27:39,576
Ale. And mushrooms. Now.
389
00:27:39,701 --> 00:27:40,701
[grunts]
390
00:27:42,538 --> 00:27:44,248
I'll take that.
391
00:27:45,332 --> 00:27:46,375
No.
392
00:27:46,708 --> 00:27:48,043
Then you get nothing.
393
00:27:48,544 --> 00:27:49,628
Only to suffer.
394
00:28:01,723 --> 00:28:02,723
Come on.
395
00:28:15,904 --> 00:28:17,698
More. More.
396
00:28:19,283 --> 00:28:20,283
[grunts]
397
00:28:37,718 --> 00:28:38,718
[grunts]
398
00:28:58,947 --> 00:29:01,199
[Seer] If you came this way,
399
00:29:01,742 --> 00:29:03,452
taking any route,
400
00:29:03,744 --> 00:29:05,579
starting from anywhere,
401
00:29:06,121 --> 00:29:09,458
at any time or at any season,
402
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:12,252
it would always be the same.
403
00:29:12,961 --> 00:29:14,922
Is that really you?
404
00:29:15,005 --> 00:29:16,757
Could that be you, O Wise One?
405
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:20,761
[Seer] We are anyway
where we are supposed to be.
406
00:29:20,844 --> 00:29:22,095
I'm not supposed to be here.
407
00:29:22,179 --> 00:29:24,389
Not now, not here.
408
00:29:26,725 --> 00:29:29,394
I had things to do. I had things to do.
409
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:34,399
Perhaps what you thought
you came here for is only a shell,
410
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:38,236
a husk of meaning
from which the purpose breaks
411
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,115
only when it is fulfilled, if at all.
412
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:44,993
Either you had no purpose,
413
00:29:45,452 --> 00:29:49,998
or the purpose is beyond
the end you figured.
414
00:29:50,457 --> 00:29:52,918
[groans] I have a purpose. It's just...
415
00:29:55,170 --> 00:30:01,677
at this time, at this place,
I... I tend to forget. I tend to forget.
416
00:30:01,927 --> 00:30:02,927
[sniffles]
417
00:30:03,261 --> 00:30:07,641
[Seer] Do not weep, Hvitserk,
son of Ragnar.
418
00:30:07,724 --> 00:30:12,312
There are other places
also at the world's end,
419
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:15,524
some at the sea jaws,
420
00:30:15,899 --> 00:30:20,320
or over a dark lake,
in a desert or city.
421
00:30:20,862 --> 00:30:22,864
You're driving me mad!
422
00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:26,410
[Seer] I drive you mad,
if it makes any difference,
423
00:30:26,493 --> 00:30:29,538
because you are not yet fit
for your purpose.
424
00:30:29,621 --> 00:30:31,957
Your life resembles death.
425
00:30:32,374 --> 00:30:34,334
I am dead!
426
00:30:35,377 --> 00:30:40,674
[Seer] No. Let me repeat,
so you can understand.
427
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:43,802
Either you had no purpose,
428
00:30:43,885 --> 00:30:47,723
or the purpose is beyond
the end you figured.
429
00:30:48,306 --> 00:30:50,392
Altered in fulfillment.
430
00:30:51,143 --> 00:30:55,022
Altered in fulfillment, Hvitserk.
431
00:30:56,189 --> 00:30:59,234
Altered in fulfillment.
432
00:31:00,694 --> 00:31:02,404
Altered in fulfillment?
433
00:31:07,617 --> 00:31:08,617
[gasping]
434
00:31:12,831 --> 00:31:15,917
Altered in fulfillment?
435
00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:17,753
[woman coughs]
436
00:31:20,714 --> 00:31:22,007
[indistinct chatter]
437
00:31:24,885 --> 00:31:26,511
[horn bellowing]
438
00:31:38,815 --> 00:31:40,734
[Ketill] An amazing sight, King Olaf.
439
00:31:41,568 --> 00:31:42,944
[King Olaf] So it should be.
440
00:31:43,278 --> 00:31:46,865
For this is an amazing occasion.
441
00:31:47,157 --> 00:31:52,621
Never before have we voted
for a king of all Norway.
442
00:31:54,790 --> 00:31:56,708
It's been a dream of many.
443
00:31:56,792 --> 00:32:00,295
Now... Now, brought to fruition.
444
00:32:01,296 --> 00:32:03,465
I hope that things
will proceed smoothly.
445
00:32:06,635 --> 00:32:09,721
Do you know any reason
why it should not?
446
00:32:19,731 --> 00:32:20,899
[people shouting, cheering]
447
00:32:21,066 --> 00:32:22,567
[drums beating rapidly]
448
00:32:54,307 --> 00:32:55,809
Bjorn.
449
00:32:55,892 --> 00:32:56,893
[staff jingles, thuds]
450
00:32:57,394 --> 00:32:58,436
What?
451
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:01,898
Nothing.
452
00:33:02,232 --> 00:33:03,650
But may the gods be with you.
453
00:33:10,407 --> 00:33:12,659
[breathes deeply]
454
00:34:32,364 --> 00:34:36,534
Today is an extraordinary
455
00:34:37,494 --> 00:34:39,537
and a unique day
456
00:34:39,621 --> 00:34:44,834
in the history and saga of our country.
457
00:34:44,918 --> 00:34:48,630
Never before have our rulers
458
00:34:48,713 --> 00:34:50,840
willingly gathered together
459
00:34:50,924 --> 00:34:56,554
to elect one of their numbers
as King of Kings.
460
00:34:57,055 --> 00:35:00,642
King of all Norway!
461
00:35:02,227 --> 00:35:06,147
Many have said that
such a thing is impossible.
462
00:35:07,023 --> 00:35:10,318
That our rulers have never been able
463
00:35:10,402 --> 00:35:14,447
to see beyond their own self-interest.
464
00:35:15,282 --> 00:35:18,159
Yet now, with your own eyes,
465
00:35:18,243 --> 00:35:24,457
you will see the impossible
begin to happen!
466
00:35:25,375 --> 00:35:31,381
When all our votes
are cast into the sea,
467
00:35:31,756 --> 00:35:34,968
we will know the identity of the man
468
00:35:35,468 --> 00:35:40,682
always fated to be
the King of all Norway!
469
00:35:43,059 --> 00:35:48,523
Each of these runes
represents an earl or a king.
470
00:35:50,650 --> 00:35:52,944
You shall know them by their color.
471
00:35:54,070 --> 00:35:55,530
For example,
472
00:35:55,739 --> 00:36:00,785
Earl Thorkell
is represented by a blue rune.
473
00:36:02,329 --> 00:36:06,124
King Hakon by a green.
474
00:36:07,417 --> 00:36:10,795
Bjorn Ironside by a red.
475
00:36:11,421 --> 00:36:14,090
King Harald by a yellow.
476
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:19,012
It falls to me to cast the first vote.
477
00:36:21,139 --> 00:36:22,557
I vote...
478
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,394
for Bjorn Ironside...
479
00:36:27,604 --> 00:36:28,855
as King...
480
00:36:30,398 --> 00:36:33,443
of all Norway!
481
00:36:33,985 --> 00:36:36,112
- [drums beating]
- [people cheering]
482
00:37:22,450 --> 00:37:24,285
You are waiting for someone to return?
483
00:37:27,997 --> 00:37:30,708
- Yes.
- Your lover?
484
00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:35,547
Did he go with Bjorn?
485
00:37:37,966 --> 00:37:39,008
Yes.
486
00:37:40,301 --> 00:37:41,381
I know how you are feeling.
487
00:37:42,095 --> 00:37:43,304
You can't.
488
00:37:43,388 --> 00:37:46,266
You're the wife of Ubbe,
and I am a servant.
489
00:37:46,641 --> 00:37:47,851
Even if Bjorn survives...
490
00:37:47,934 --> 00:37:49,018
Bjorn?
491
00:37:50,770 --> 00:37:52,105
You are in love with Bjorn?
492
00:37:57,152 --> 00:37:59,237
Then, believe me, I do know.
493
00:38:01,030 --> 00:38:03,867
I stared out to sea
and waited for Bjorn many times.
494
00:38:04,951 --> 00:38:07,328
And each time he came back,
he was always further away.
495
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:13,668
It will be different with me.
496
00:38:15,295 --> 00:38:16,504
Yes.
497
00:38:50,497 --> 00:38:51,915
And I...
498
00:38:54,501 --> 00:39:01,341
will also vote for Bjorn Ironside
to be King of all Norway.
499
00:39:02,217 --> 00:39:04,677
[people cheering]
500
00:39:26,908 --> 00:39:27,992
[Ubbe] Go on.
501
00:39:28,076 --> 00:39:29,720
[man] We were traveling
along the Silk Road.
502
00:39:29,744 --> 00:39:33,081
We had gone many rast and talked to
many traders from different countries,
503
00:39:33,456 --> 00:39:34,958
when we came to the Kingdom of Rus.
504
00:39:35,041 --> 00:39:37,710
I have heard of it.
It was founded by Rus Vikings.
505
00:39:37,794 --> 00:39:40,672
[man] Yes. Some of them
could still speak our language.
506
00:39:40,755 --> 00:39:43,925
We were invited into one of
their principal towns, called Novgorod.
507
00:39:44,175 --> 00:39:45,343
Novgorod is a rich place,
508
00:39:45,426 --> 00:39:48,721
for these Rus are very successful
warriors, hunters, and traders.
509
00:39:49,222 --> 00:39:51,307
And they were anxious
to do deals with us,
510
00:39:51,391 --> 00:39:53,619
for they said that we have many things
which they wanted.
511
00:39:53,643 --> 00:39:55,144
[Torvi] But I don't understand.
512
00:39:55,687 --> 00:39:59,607
If you were so successful,
then why did you come back so early?
513
00:40:00,108 --> 00:40:01,859
Surely your mission
is not yet concluded.
514
00:40:02,318 --> 00:40:03,318
[man] No.
515
00:40:03,861 --> 00:40:06,061
But we all felt that
someone should return here at once.
516
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,907
To report your success?
517
00:40:07,991 --> 00:40:10,326
[man] No. To report something else.
518
00:40:10,994 --> 00:40:12,245
For while we were in Novgorod,
519
00:40:12,328 --> 00:40:14,914
we learned that someone else
was staying with the Rus.
520
00:40:14,998 --> 00:40:16,874
Indeed, living at the palace
521
00:40:16,958 --> 00:40:20,545
in another town called Kiev
with their leader, Prince Oleg.
522
00:40:20,628 --> 00:40:21,879
Ivar?
523
00:40:21,963 --> 00:40:23,089
[man] Yes.
524
00:40:23,715 --> 00:40:25,758
They told us that
King Ivar the Boneless,
525
00:40:25,842 --> 00:40:28,928
son of Ragnar Lothbrok, was their guest.
526
00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:33,182
You have done well
to bring us this news.
527
00:40:35,977 --> 00:40:39,439
I am not surprised to hear
that my little brother is still alive.
528
00:40:39,856 --> 00:40:40,772
[arms clasp]
529
00:40:40,773 --> 00:40:41,983
Go, and drink.
530
00:40:42,233 --> 00:40:43,693
Thank you, Ubbe.
531
00:40:46,070 --> 00:40:47,322
[Torvi] What did you see?
532
00:40:53,745 --> 00:40:55,330
You must tell Hvitserk.
533
00:40:55,663 --> 00:40:57,624
For better or worse, he needs to know.
534
00:41:02,962 --> 00:41:04,297
Hvitserk!
535
00:41:06,341 --> 00:41:07,717
Hvitserk!
536
00:41:30,907 --> 00:41:32,992
[Ivar's voice] I'm here, brother!
537
00:41:40,291 --> 00:41:42,543
[whimpering loudly]
538
00:41:46,881 --> 00:41:48,675
[water splashing]
539
00:41:50,093 --> 00:41:51,552
[whimpering]
540
00:41:57,558 --> 00:42:01,646
[Ivar's voice] Is it true?
Did you jump ship to be near me?
541
00:42:06,067 --> 00:42:07,360
[shuddering]
542
00:42:13,616 --> 00:42:15,868
[Ivar's voice] Not because
you loved me...
543
00:42:16,744 --> 00:42:17,744
[wood cracking]
544
00:42:17,787 --> 00:42:18,996
[whimpers]
545
00:42:21,249 --> 00:42:24,627
...but because you needed
to be close enough to kill me?
546
00:42:24,836 --> 00:42:26,003
