1
00:00:07,217 --> 00:00:12,139
<i>More, give me more
Give me more</i>

2
00:00:12,514 --> 00:00:16,476
<i>If I had a heart
I could love you</i>

3
00:00:18,353 --> 00:00:22,191
<i>If I had a voice
I would sing</i>

4
00:00:24,109 --> 00:00:28,238
<i>After the night
When I wake up</i>

5
00:00:29,281 --> 00:00:34,995
<i>I'll see
What tomorrow brings</i>

6
00:00:40,876 --> 00:00:45,005
<i>If I had a voice
I would sing</i>

7
00:02:10,757 --> 00:02:12,259
Othere.

8
00:02:13,176 --> 00:02:16,305
You have returned. Welcome, welcome.

9
00:02:20,142 --> 00:02:21,393
Welcome.

10
00:02:22,436 --> 00:02:23,520
Othere.

11
00:02:24,938 --> 00:02:27,441
Please, sit. Drink.

12
00:02:28,984 --> 00:02:30,068
Othere.

13
00:02:31,069 --> 00:02:32,070
Meet Ubbe,

14
00:02:32,696 --> 00:02:35,032
the son of Ragnar Lothbrok.

15
00:02:35,657 --> 00:02:37,326
He has come a long way to meet you.

16
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:40,454
You are Othere.

17
00:02:43,832 --> 00:02:45,208
This is my wife, Torvi.

18
00:02:49,921 --> 00:02:52,132
Ubbe is especially interested

19
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:54,259
in your journeys
to the far west of here.

20
00:02:57,554 --> 00:02:59,097
It was such a long time ago.

21
00:02:59,181 --> 00:03:02,184
Oh, please, please,
I would like to hear about it.

22
00:03:03,101 --> 00:03:05,301
I would like to know about
this new land that you found.

23
00:03:15,739 --> 00:03:16,865
Very well, then.

24
00:03:18,283 --> 00:03:23,038
I was sailing west from here,
along the land,

25
00:03:23,121 --> 00:03:26,208
when a storm blew my ship off course.

26
00:03:27,334 --> 00:03:30,295
When the storm had ended,
there was no more land.

27
00:03:30,379 --> 00:03:32,589
And I did not know where I was.

28
00:03:34,174 --> 00:03:36,468
Days followed days.

29
00:03:37,052 --> 00:03:39,763
I started running out of food and water.

30
00:03:41,223 --> 00:03:42,849
I began to give myself up for dead.

31
00:03:47,187 --> 00:03:48,647
But then...

32
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:54,277
Then one morning,
the sun rose behind me.

33
00:03:54,361 --> 00:03:58,949
And I saw it, I saw a new land.

34
00:04:00,659 --> 00:04:04,830
The winds blew me
all day down the coastline.

35
00:04:04,913 --> 00:04:07,249
The lands were lofty,

36
00:04:08,083 --> 00:04:10,710
with many high mountains,

37
00:04:10,794 --> 00:04:14,631
all so beautiful

38
00:04:14,714 --> 00:04:17,217
and of a thousand shapes,

39
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,719
and filled with trees so tall,

40
00:04:19,803 --> 00:04:23,306
it seemed that
they would touch the sky itself.

41
00:04:25,851 --> 00:04:28,770
And I saw marvelous pine groves

42
00:04:28,854 --> 00:04:31,648
and vast, fertile plains.

43
00:04:32,149 --> 00:04:35,944
I tell you, Ubbe, son of Ragnar...

44
00:04:37,904 --> 00:04:41,408
this was indeed golden land.

45
00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:54,671
Why did you not stop there?

46
00:04:55,172 --> 00:04:58,758
The winter tides were too strong
and I was swept away.

47
00:04:59,634 --> 00:05:02,888
And in the morning, I found myself
back in the open ocean again.

48
00:05:04,681 --> 00:05:09,060
I was fortunate enough to find
a small island with game and water,

49
00:05:09,561 --> 00:05:13,106
and, at last, the currents
brought me back here.

50
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:17,110
But I have never forgot what I did see.

51
00:05:25,744 --> 00:05:28,246
You, you will sail with us.

52
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:30,123
You will try and find this land again.

53
00:05:36,338 --> 00:05:38,548
Perhaps, if you think
I can be of some help.

54
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:42,719
To the golden lands!

55
00:05:42,802 --> 00:05:45,555
Golden lands!

56
00:05:52,062 --> 00:05:53,480
And what of Floki? Hmm?

57
00:05:54,856 --> 00:05:57,692
Floki? I never met Floki.

58
00:06:00,195 --> 00:06:04,866
Floki had disappeared
before Othere arrived and sailed west.

59
00:06:07,035 --> 00:06:09,621
It has been a long day. I am tired.

60
00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:14,876
Thank you all for the feast.

61
00:06:15,502 --> 00:06:17,963
We're very happy to be here in Iceland,

62
00:06:18,421 --> 00:06:19,965
at the edge of the world.

63
00:06:20,048 --> 00:06:21,883
- Sleep well.
- Good night.

64
00:06:30,642 --> 00:06:32,435
He does not need to know everything.

65
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:38,126
Queen Gunnhild.

66
00:07:38,793 --> 00:07:39,919
Erik.

67
00:07:40,503 --> 00:07:42,631
Just Erik.

68
00:07:44,758 --> 00:07:47,302
I am so impressed by you.

69
00:07:47,969 --> 00:07:49,471
Impressed? Why?

70
00:07:50,513 --> 00:07:53,683
That you are not jealous,
that you allow this to happen.

71
00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:02,651
<i>Erik.</i>

72
00:08:03,485 --> 00:08:06,821
You saved my husband's life,
but you did not save mine.

73
00:08:08,281 --> 00:08:10,992
You don't know me well enough
to pretend to know my feelings.

74
00:08:11,618 --> 00:08:12,994
They belong to me.

75
00:08:14,579 --> 00:08:16,623
I'm sorry, Queen Gunnhild.

76
00:08:17,707 --> 00:08:18,833
Forgive me.

77
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:38,353
<i>You are young.</i>

78
00:08:38,645 --> 00:08:41,648
I wonder if you really know
the stories of the gods.

79
00:08:43,358 --> 00:08:44,734
Of course I do.

80
00:08:45,402 --> 00:08:47,320
Then you know the story of Freya.

81
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:51,616
<i>Yes, she is the goddess
of fertility.</i>

82
00:08:52,158 --> 00:08:54,035
<i>She lives in the hall called Sessrumnir</i>

83
00:08:54,119 --> 00:08:56,037
<i>and travels in a chariot drawn by cats.</i>

84
00:08:56,121 --> 00:08:59,082
Yes, yes, yes. Every child knows that.

85
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,503
The fact is, her necklace,
the Brisingamen,

86
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,298
was paid for by sex
with the dwarves who made it.

87
00:09:07,382 --> 00:09:11,052
Loki accused her of having sex
with every single one of the elves

88
00:09:11,136 --> 00:09:12,178
in the Aesir.

89
00:09:12,387 --> 00:09:15,598
And she shares half of those
slain in battle with Odin.

90
00:09:15,682 --> 00:09:19,018
But when her own husband
is away, she weeps.

91
00:09:19,102 --> 00:09:21,855
But not watery tears, Ingrid.

92
00:09:21,938 --> 00:09:23,273
Tears of gold.

93
00:09:23,898 --> 00:09:25,442
Real treasure.

94
00:09:36,578 --> 00:09:38,455
If you want to go to her, you should go.

95
00:09:39,122 --> 00:09:41,458
This is your wedding night.
She will be expecting you.

96
00:09:43,168 --> 00:09:44,544
I am with child,

97
00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:47,130
and I am married to a demigod.

98
00:09:48,089 --> 00:09:49,215
As are you.

99
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:52,093
Don't talk to me about
ridiculous things,

100
00:09:52,177 --> 00:09:54,429
about human jealousies,

101
00:09:54,554 --> 00:09:57,307
the trivial and repeated
concerns of humankind.

102
00:09:58,308 --> 00:09:59,726
I thought you were above them.

103
00:10:00,852 --> 00:10:04,731
I thought you were a free spirit.

104
00:10:10,612 --> 00:10:11,738
Now, you are free.

105
00:10:13,406 --> 00:10:16,534
Go and marry my husband,
with my blessing.

106
00:10:27,212 --> 00:10:28,671
I didn't want to hurt you.

107
00:10:30,423 --> 00:10:31,800
I wasn't sure.

108
00:10:32,926 --> 00:10:34,969
No, I'm afraid that has been
your failing.

109
00:10:35,804 --> 00:10:37,138
But now, be sure.

110
00:10:38,014 --> 00:10:41,142
You made a decision. Live with it.

111
00:10:41,226 --> 00:10:42,560
Believe in it.

112
00:10:42,644 --> 00:10:44,604
Otherwise, how can I ever respect you?

113
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,045
I know King Harald
will come for me.

114
00:11:51,129 --> 00:11:54,841
If he wants to be King of all Norway,
then he must eliminate me,

115
00:11:55,383 --> 00:11:58,344
in which case we need
to redouble our patrol in the fjord.

116
00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:01,014
And you must lead them.

117
00:12:04,142 --> 00:12:05,476
Me?

118
00:12:08,730 --> 00:12:11,357
I trust you because

119
00:12:12,275 --> 00:12:13,776
you need to keep me alive

120
00:12:15,069 --> 00:12:16,738
so you can stay alive.

121
00:12:34,172 --> 00:12:35,965
Surely this is taking a long time.

122
00:12:38,343 --> 00:12:39,636
What is it?

123
00:12:46,893 --> 00:12:48,019
What is the problem?

124
00:12:48,478 --> 00:12:50,605
The baby is lying in the wrong position.

125
00:12:50,939 --> 00:12:52,815
Torvi cannot deliver it naturally.

126
00:13:05,912 --> 00:13:08,498
I have come to pray
for the woman and child.

127
00:13:37,568 --> 00:13:38,820
What is that for?

128
00:13:39,696 --> 00:13:42,198
I may have to cut her stomach
to take out the baby.

129
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:50,999
Does that mean she will die?

130
00:14:40,673 --> 00:14:41,758
Not yet.

131
00:14:43,634 --> 00:14:45,053
Sweet darling.

132
00:15:11,245 --> 00:15:12,955
Yes, it's coming now.

133
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:14,165
All right.

134
00:15:15,792 --> 00:15:17,085
Now you start.

135
00:15:20,713 --> 00:15:22,131
I can see the head!

136
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,967
Once more, yes!

137
00:15:25,051 --> 00:15:27,095
Keep going, keep going, keep going, yes!

138
00:15:28,429 --> 00:15:30,473
Yes, it's here!

139
00:16:23,568 --> 00:16:25,736
Who are these people?

140
00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:27,321
I don't know.

141
00:16:27,405 --> 00:16:29,240
But they're not Viking.

142
00:16:29,323 --> 00:16:31,325
And it's not one of King Harald's ships.

143
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,661
They are scouts.

144
00:16:34,036 --> 00:16:35,705
But where from?

145
00:18:17,723 --> 00:18:19,392
You look like shit.

146
00:18:22,270 --> 00:18:23,896
I feel like it.

147
00:18:29,652 --> 00:18:31,028
What are you wearing?

148
00:18:57,805 --> 00:18:59,515
Why do you keep returning?

149
00:19:00,433 --> 00:19:01,433
Hmm?

150
00:19:01,434 --> 00:19:03,436
Why do you hunt me so?

151
00:19:05,604 --> 00:19:06,981
I don't understand.

152
00:19:11,694 --> 00:19:13,446
But I am happy to see you.

153
00:19:18,075 --> 00:19:19,702
Truly happy to see you.

154
00:19:55,404 --> 00:19:56,781
Who are these people?

155
00:19:56,947 --> 00:19:59,533
Rus, the same people
we met in Kiev.

156
00:19:59,825 --> 00:20:01,465
The same people that Ivar
is staying with.

157
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:06,916
What does it mean?

158
00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:08,655
Why did they come and raid here?

159
00:20:10,044 --> 00:20:12,338
They were not raiding.
They were scouting.

160
00:20:13,506 --> 00:20:15,091
By probing our defenses.

161
00:20:15,174 --> 00:20:17,093
They plan to invade our country.

162
00:20:18,886 --> 00:20:20,679
I've heard stories of Rus.

163
00:20:21,639 --> 00:20:25,184
They are a vast kingdom,
rich in resources.

164
00:20:25,476 --> 00:20:26,685
Huge armies.

165
00:20:27,895 --> 00:20:30,147
Perhaps they mean to invade
all of Scandinavia.

166
00:20:30,773 --> 00:20:31,773
Hmm.

167
00:20:31,941 --> 00:20:33,818
With Ivar's help and knowledge.

168
00:20:34,527 --> 00:20:36,237
How pleased he must be

169
00:20:36,654 --> 00:20:39,448
to think he is returning in triumph.

170
00:20:39,532 --> 00:20:43,828
We cannot possibly resist
invasion from such a powerful enemy.

171
00:20:43,911 --> 00:20:45,830
And yet we must resist!

172
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,418
They won't move
their armies in the winter.

173
00:20:52,128 --> 00:20:54,588
We have until spring
to decide what to do.

174
00:21:00,386 --> 00:21:02,388
In your heart,
you know what you have to do.

175
00:21:03,889 --> 00:21:05,766
Harald is King of all Norway.

176
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:08,352
You have to reach out to him,

177
00:21:08,436 --> 00:21:10,521
offering peace and a united front.

178
00:21:11,689 --> 00:21:13,691
You say that because of your history.

179
00:21:15,234 --> 00:21:16,610
What do you mean?

180
00:21:17,903 --> 00:21:20,156
I've been told King Harald
asked for your hand.

181
00:21:21,365 --> 00:21:23,159
With respect,

182
00:21:23,242 --> 00:21:25,411
what other fight can there be?

183
00:21:26,412 --> 00:21:28,998
Kattegat cannot stand against Rus.

184
00:21:29,081 --> 00:21:30,499
You're right.

185
00:21:30,666 --> 00:21:33,627
And Gunnhild is correct. We must make
common cause with King Harald.

186
00:21:34,628 --> 00:21:36,922
I charge you to leave urgently
to King Harald's kingdom.

187
00:21:37,965 --> 00:21:40,759
Perhaps he will see sense
and do away with his own vanity.

188
00:21:43,262 --> 00:21:44,763
What do the Rus believe in?

189
00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:47,224
They're Christians.

190
00:21:49,810 --> 00:21:51,395
They believe in the Christian god.

191
00:21:51,479 --> 00:21:53,564
Then we are not only
fighting for ourselves,

192
00:21:53,647 --> 00:21:55,274
but for our gods!

193
00:21:56,817 --> 00:21:59,570
And with Odin's help, we must succeed.

194
00:22:06,994 --> 00:22:08,662
However impossible the task.

195
00:22:13,709 --> 00:22:16,086
I want us all to drink
to the birth of our son.

196
00:22:17,213 --> 00:22:19,340
We have decided to name him Ragnar,

197
00:22:19,423 --> 00:22:20,841
after his grandfather.

198
00:22:23,552 --> 00:22:26,013
Hail, Ragnar! Long live Ragnar.

199
00:22:26,514 --> 00:22:28,807
- Skol.
- Skol!

200
00:22:31,268 --> 00:22:33,103
I want to thank all of you
for your help.

201
00:22:34,855 --> 00:22:36,607
And I want to thank you, Othere.

202
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:41,195
For your prayers
for my wife and for my son.

203
00:22:44,615 --> 00:22:47,451
But since I lived in England,
I could not help but recall them.

204
00:22:50,996 --> 00:22:54,375
They were Christian prayers
to a Christian god.

205
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:07,096
I solicited only our gods.
After all, why should I do otherwise?

206
00:23:08,889 --> 00:23:11,850
I don't know. You tell me.

207
00:23:23,654 --> 00:23:25,072
I am...

208
00:23:25,614 --> 00:23:29,034
Or rather, I was, a long time ago,
a monk living in England.

209
00:23:31,370 --> 00:23:33,455
My name then was Athelstan.

210
00:23:37,293 --> 00:23:38,293
Athelstan?

211
00:23:39,378 --> 00:23:40,504
Mmm.

212
00:23:45,426 --> 00:23:48,262
I was sent to a seminary
in Rome.

213
00:23:51,098 --> 00:23:55,019
They chose to send me out
into the world as a missionary,

214
00:23:56,353 --> 00:23:59,898
to take the word of God
to those who had never heard it.

215
00:24:02,401 --> 00:24:05,738
I still remember my sea voyage
to Scandinavia.

216
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:10,784
The local people discovering
my purpose nearly killed me...

217
00:24:12,286 --> 00:24:13,871
and chased me away.

218
00:24:14,705 --> 00:24:16,999
And, so, onwards,

219
00:24:17,082 --> 00:24:20,461
to other places...

220
00:24:21,587 --> 00:24:24,048
having failed at being a missionary.

221
00:24:25,257 --> 00:24:27,801
I had learned some Norse

222
00:24:29,887 --> 00:24:31,930
and I had met

223
00:24:33,390 --> 00:24:37,186
a Danish wanderer by the name of Othere.

224
00:24:38,187 --> 00:24:40,522
He spoke to me of his travels,

225
00:24:41,815 --> 00:24:45,778
of the wondrous sights he had seen
and the miracles he had witnessed

226
00:24:45,861 --> 00:24:47,112
along the way.

227
00:24:50,949 --> 00:24:54,119
But he was sick and dying.

228
00:25:06,674 --> 00:25:07,925
I buried him...

229
00:25:10,219 --> 00:25:11,595
and I took his name.

230
00:25:19,353 --> 00:25:23,399
Then, I came here,

231
00:25:23,482 --> 00:25:26,443
to this young settlement.

232
00:25:28,904 --> 00:25:30,322
Reborn.

233
00:25:34,785 --> 00:25:38,664
It was then I determined
to set sail again,

234
00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:44,670
and it was on this subsequent voyage

235
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:50,342
that I glimpsed the golden land.

236
00:25:54,012 --> 00:25:55,931
But as you know,

237
00:25:56,724 --> 00:26:00,185
I returned, defeated,

238
00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:04,857
resigned to live this false identity

239
00:26:05,107 --> 00:26:07,192
for the rest of my days.

240
00:26:11,864 --> 00:26:14,783
You lied to everyone here.

241
00:26:16,285 --> 00:26:18,579
And you have been
living a lie ever since.

242
00:26:20,914 --> 00:26:22,040
You are a Christian.

243
00:26:23,125 --> 00:26:25,627
You are an enemy of our gods.

244
00:26:27,463 --> 00:26:29,047
So you deserve to die.

245
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:34,553
It's not true.

246
00:26:37,347 --> 00:26:39,850
I always knew that Othere
was not what he claimed,

247
00:26:40,392 --> 00:26:43,312
but in our desperate situation,
I accepted everyone

248
00:26:43,395 --> 00:26:46,732
- who offered us no harm...
- Then you were wrong.

249
00:26:49,485 --> 00:26:52,613
Othere may have offered
no physical threat,

250
00:26:52,696 --> 00:26:54,990
but his ideas, his beliefs,

251
00:26:55,073 --> 00:26:56,700
his lies!

252
00:26:59,912 --> 00:27:01,288
They are the real threat.

253
00:27:02,873 --> 00:27:04,500
To all of us.

254
00:27:05,459 --> 00:27:06,627
To our children.

255
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:08,170
Do you not understand?

256
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:15,803
You must be sacrificed to our gods.

257
00:27:18,722 --> 00:27:21,308
And then, beloved,

258
00:27:21,391 --> 00:27:23,644
we would never find the golden land.

259
00:27:25,062 --> 00:27:28,816
Without Othere, we have no chance.
We might as well give up now.

260
00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:37,491
Here's the cross you used to wear.

261
00:27:38,742 --> 00:27:40,077
How could you have forgotten?

262
00:27:41,328 --> 00:27:43,372
You were baptized as a Christian.

263
00:27:44,414 --> 00:27:46,375
You prayed aloud to the Christian god.

264
00:28:22,369 --> 00:28:23,620
Who are you?

265
00:28:23,787 --> 00:28:25,122
My name is Erik.

266
00:28:25,873 --> 00:28:29,751
I come as emissary from King Bjorn.
Here is his ring to prove it.

267
00:28:29,918 --> 00:28:31,169
Very well.

268
00:28:32,045 --> 00:28:34,423
And why has

269
00:28:34,923 --> 00:28:37,509
King Bjorn sent you?

270
00:28:37,593 --> 00:28:39,261
He wants to make an alliance.

271
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:43,891
An alliance?

272
00:28:43,974 --> 00:28:46,685
I don't need an alliance with Bjorn.

273
00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:50,564
He's already my vassal,
and I'm his king and overlord.

274
00:28:51,398 --> 00:28:52,566
Perhaps he has forgotten.

275
00:28:53,025 --> 00:28:54,902
I don't think you understand.

276
00:28:54,985 --> 00:28:57,988
- You don't know the enemy we...
- On the contrary!

277
00:29:00,449 --> 00:29:04,369
I know everything.

278
00:29:06,496 --> 00:29:10,459
I know you for a Skogarmaor.

279
00:29:10,834 --> 00:29:12,169
An outlaw.

280
00:29:14,796 --> 00:29:17,090
You came to my kingdom before.

281
00:29:17,174 --> 00:29:19,468
You had a secret trade in slaves.

282
00:29:20,677 --> 00:29:23,555
And you have a history of violence.

283
00:29:24,848 --> 00:29:26,516
And murder.

284
00:29:28,226 --> 00:29:30,103
You got into a fight here

285
00:29:30,187 --> 00:29:33,357
and you killed several of my men.

286
00:29:40,739 --> 00:29:44,117
Now, everyone knows that a Skogarmaor,

287
00:29:44,201 --> 00:29:46,078
if he comes in from the forest,

288
00:29:46,161 --> 00:29:48,997
can be killed with impunity.

289
00:30:00,634 --> 00:30:01,760
Ah.

290
00:30:01,843 --> 00:30:06,014
Therefore, you will be
executed in the morning.

291
00:30:07,015 --> 00:30:08,016
At my pleasure.

292
00:30:12,688 --> 00:30:13,855
Take him away.

293
00:30:14,648 --> 00:30:15,648
Chain him up.

294
00:30:17,150 --> 00:30:19,444
And pour cold water over him all night,

295
00:30:19,528 --> 00:30:22,531
so he won't have a moment
to forget his fate.

296
00:30:25,033 --> 00:30:27,119
No! No, you need to listen.

297
00:30:27,202 --> 00:30:29,204
Listen to me! We're all in danger.

298
00:30:40,924 --> 00:30:43,260
Our brothers poisoned your mind,

299
00:30:43,927 --> 00:30:48,015
convincing you that I was your enemy.
I am not your enemy.

300
00:30:57,107 --> 00:30:58,191
Get well,

301
00:30:59,026 --> 00:31:00,318
get strong.

302
00:31:02,070 --> 00:31:05,115
We shall unleash our forces
against our brothers.

303
00:31:06,658 --> 00:31:09,119
They will bear witness to our triumph.

304
00:31:09,953 --> 00:31:10,996
Hmm?

305
00:31:11,538 --> 00:31:12,538
Hmm.

306
00:31:26,053 --> 00:31:27,512
I killed her, Ivar.

307
00:31:30,265 --> 00:31:32,934
It was me, not you.

308
00:31:33,977 --> 00:31:35,353
Me.

309
00:31:36,563 --> 00:31:38,648
I killed her, and now she's dead.

310
00:31:39,983 --> 00:31:41,318
Who?

311
00:31:41,401 --> 00:31:43,070
You know who.

312
00:31:43,612 --> 00:31:44,988
Lagertha.

313
00:31:45,947 --> 00:31:47,157
The bitch.

314
00:31:49,910 --> 00:31:51,411
You thought it was your fate.

315
00:31:51,661 --> 00:31:52,661
Hmm?

316
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:56,083
It was mine, Ivar.

317
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:58,376
Mine.

318
00:32:05,050 --> 00:32:06,218
I killed her.

319
00:32:09,846 --> 00:32:11,348
I killed her.

320
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:36,832
What do you want?

321
00:32:37,582 --> 00:32:39,793
I have brought you something.

322
00:32:51,805 --> 00:32:53,515
It's a wedding ring. So what?

323
00:32:53,598 --> 00:32:56,935
It's not just a wedding ring.
It's Floki's wedding ring.

324
00:33:00,897 --> 00:33:02,899
Why do you have Floki's wedding ring?

325
00:33:06,945 --> 00:33:09,114
I did meet Floki. I knew Floki.

326
00:33:10,282 --> 00:33:12,367
Did Floki know that you are a Christian?

327
00:33:13,243 --> 00:33:15,203
Yes, I'm sure.

328
00:33:16,454 --> 00:33:19,541
So, what happened here?
Why did Floki just disappear?

329
00:33:20,041 --> 00:33:21,041
Hmm?

330
00:33:21,251 --> 00:33:22,895
I know something terrible
must have happened...

331
00:33:22,919 --> 00:33:25,213
Was it Ketill? What did he do?

332
00:33:27,424 --> 00:33:31,636
Floki left because he had
no hope left for humanity.

333
00:33:35,849 --> 00:33:37,893
He gave you his ring?

334
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:41,730
It was his most precious possession.

335
00:33:43,064 --> 00:33:44,649
But he no longer wanted it.

336
00:33:45,901 --> 00:33:47,485
He left this place naked.

337
00:33:53,992 --> 00:33:55,368
I loved Floki.

338
00:33:55,535 --> 00:33:56,995
I've told you the truth.

339
00:33:58,663 --> 00:34:01,416
I beg you to take me with you
on the voyage to find the golden land.

340
00:34:01,499 --> 00:34:03,251
It means everything to me.

341
00:34:03,335 --> 00:34:04,878
Is your name really Athelstan?

342
00:34:11,426 --> 00:34:14,471
You have no idea
what that name means to me.

343
00:34:18,558 --> 00:34:20,894
What do you want, you old fool?

344
00:34:22,729 --> 00:34:24,773
I almost forgot you existed.

345
00:34:27,859 --> 00:34:30,320
You once told me

346
00:34:30,403 --> 00:34:32,364
the only reason you kept me alive

347
00:34:32,656 --> 00:34:35,784
is because one day

348
00:34:35,867 --> 00:34:37,827
I might say something wise

349
00:34:37,911 --> 00:34:39,537
for an old fool.

350
00:34:39,621 --> 00:34:40,664
Hmm.

351
00:34:41,790 --> 00:34:44,501
So, I'm telling you now.

352
00:34:45,543 --> 00:34:47,671
Listen to that man.

353
00:34:49,381 --> 00:34:51,633
Who cares if he is a Skogarmaor?

354
00:34:51,967 --> 00:34:56,137
We are all Skogarmaors.
We all came from the forest.

355
00:34:57,973 --> 00:34:59,724
Execute him if you like,

356
00:34:59,808 --> 00:35:02,727
but, first, listen,

357
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:04,854
listen to what he has to say.

358
00:35:06,523 --> 00:35:09,276
He risked his life to return here.

359
00:35:10,568 --> 00:35:13,697
Are you too proud to ask why?

360
00:35:24,165 --> 00:35:27,419
Same symbols, same people.

361
00:35:28,461 --> 00:35:29,796
These are the Rus.

362
00:35:31,339 --> 00:35:33,758
And you have to understand
how powerful they are

363
00:35:33,842 --> 00:35:35,635
and what a threat they pose.

364
00:35:38,471 --> 00:35:39,764
Even so...

365
00:35:41,182 --> 00:35:44,394
it irks and irritates me

366
00:35:44,477 --> 00:35:47,314
that I have to listen
to a criminal like you.

367
00:35:51,735 --> 00:35:55,196
Or a failed king like Bjorn.

368
00:36:00,577 --> 00:36:03,997
My greatest ambition,
the purpose of my life,

369
00:36:04,831 --> 00:36:06,791
was to become King of all Norway.

370
00:36:07,167 --> 00:36:10,628
And now that I have achieved it,
I don't know why...

371
00:36:11,171 --> 00:36:15,508
Why must I be dragged down,

372
00:36:15,592 --> 00:36:18,636
forced to rely on unpredictable allies

373
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,390
who have already shown to be
weak and unreliable.

374
00:36:26,770 --> 00:36:28,563
Why does it have to be like this?

375
00:36:29,689 --> 00:36:30,689
Hmm?

376
00:36:32,108 --> 00:36:35,445
In my dreams, it was never like this.

377
00:36:37,947 --> 00:36:41,493
Words cannot wish this away.

378
00:36:48,416 --> 00:36:50,668
The Rus are coming.

379
00:37:04,682 --> 00:37:07,852
Very well, I agree.

380
00:37:08,853 --> 00:37:12,857
But only if Bjorn's forces,
his warriors,

381
00:37:12,941 --> 00:37:14,818
and his shield-maidens come to me,

382
00:37:14,901 --> 00:37:18,238
to protect the capital and not Kattegat,
and then I agree.

383
00:37:20,573 --> 00:37:24,786
We can be allies, huh? Why not? Why not?

384
00:37:24,953 --> 00:37:27,330
I am sure that Bjorn will agree.

385
00:37:28,123 --> 00:37:30,625
- After all, they're most likely to...
- We have agreed.

386
00:37:37,507 --> 00:37:39,050
Send word to Bjorn

387
00:37:41,511 --> 00:37:43,179
to move his forces here.

388
00:37:43,555 --> 00:37:46,057
And I will send word
to all my vassal kings.

389
00:37:47,642 --> 00:37:52,105
It seems like we need
their help, after all.

390
00:37:58,486 --> 00:37:59,779
Prince Oleg.

391
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,823
Princess Katia.

392
00:38:01,906 --> 00:38:03,158
Your Highnesses.

393
00:38:04,033 --> 00:38:07,996
Allow me to present to you
my brother, Hvitserk.

394
00:38:09,330 --> 00:38:11,374
Just lately risen from the dead.

395
00:38:11,458 --> 00:38:12,625
Your Highness.

396
00:38:12,709 --> 00:38:15,170
Another son of Ragnar Lothbrok.

397
00:38:15,378 --> 00:38:16,754
You are welcome.

398
00:38:18,131 --> 00:38:19,966
You arrive in interesting times.

399
00:38:20,675 --> 00:38:21,968
So I understand.

400
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,680
My brother has told me
that you intend to attack our homeland.

401
00:38:27,724 --> 00:38:28,766
Hmm.

402
00:38:30,477 --> 00:38:32,604
It was once my homeland.

403
00:38:32,937 --> 00:38:35,106
I'm only reclaiming the past.

404
00:38:36,316 --> 00:38:40,069
I trust you will be happy
to join King Ivar and myself

405
00:38:40,153 --> 00:38:43,198
in this great undertaking.

406
00:38:44,449 --> 00:38:45,575
Uh...

407
00:38:47,035 --> 00:38:48,411
I have nowhere else to go.

408
00:38:50,455 --> 00:38:52,373
I'm at your service, Prince Oleg.

409
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:56,127
I, too, need to reclaim my own past.

410
00:38:57,045 --> 00:39:00,840
The prince and I are so happy
to have you at our court, Hvitserk.

411
00:39:02,383 --> 00:39:05,261
Ivar has spoken a lot about you.

412
00:39:05,887 --> 00:39:10,016
When you were children,
when you jumped ship.

413
00:39:11,476 --> 00:39:15,271
He told me that you always believed
you were fated to be together,

414
00:39:16,022 --> 00:39:20,485
however many times fate itself
seemed to have pulled you apart.

415
00:39:22,237 --> 00:39:26,991
I find myself that fate works
in mysterious ways.

416
00:39:36,292 --> 00:39:38,127
Our army's assembling.

417
00:39:40,463 --> 00:39:44,050
Tonight, you will watch some of it

418
00:39:45,426 --> 00:39:46,970
parade past the palace.

419
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:56,646
It should be an interesting experience.

420
00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:12,996
So?

421
00:40:13,496 --> 00:40:14,497
So?

422
00:40:16,583 --> 00:40:17,750
What do you think?

423
00:40:19,168 --> 00:40:22,755
- About Oleg?
- No, not about Oleg, about his wife.

424
00:40:23,590 --> 00:40:26,092
I thought she was attractive,
rather provocative.

425
00:40:26,175 --> 00:40:27,552
Nothing else?

426
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,721
No. What else?

427
00:40:30,346 --> 00:40:32,473
She didn't remind you of anyone?

428
00:40:33,891 --> 00:40:35,560
You saw her. You know who she is.

429
00:40:36,102 --> 00:40:38,354
- I do?
- Of course you do, brother.

430
00:40:40,523 --> 00:40:41,816
She's Freydis.

431
00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:44,861
Your wife?

432
00:40:45,653 --> 00:40:46,904
Uh-huh.

433
00:40:47,447 --> 00:40:49,991
Freydis is dead, Ivar. I saw her body...

434
00:40:50,074 --> 00:40:52,201
Yes, yes, yes. I know I killed her.

435
00:40:52,702 --> 00:40:55,038
But now she's come back,
and I do not know how.

436
00:40:55,121 --> 00:40:57,832
But it is her. She is identical.

437
00:40:59,834 --> 00:41:01,210
You're still crazy, Ivar.

438
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,809
Ivar.

439
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:20,605
Prince Dir sends you greetings.

440
00:41:21,606 --> 00:41:23,316
He knows your brother has joined you.

441
00:41:24,233 --> 00:41:27,153
He wishes you all success
in your campaign.

442
00:41:28,404 --> 00:41:30,782
But afterwards,

443
00:41:30,865 --> 00:41:33,284
he wants you to join him
in the overthrow of Prince Oleg.

444
00:41:33,743 --> 00:41:36,454
And the rescue
of Prince Igor from slavery.

445
00:41:37,497 --> 00:41:40,291
If you still agree to this plan,
simply nod your head.

446
00:41:42,085 --> 00:41:43,086
Good.

447
00:41:43,419 --> 00:41:45,088
You know how much Prince Dir loves you.

448
00:43:55,051 --> 00:43:57,094
Who can resist such an army?

449
00:43:57,929 --> 00:43:59,055
Nobody.

450
00:44:00,515 --> 00:44:03,017
Not King Harald,

451
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:04,936
not Bjorn Ironside.

452
00:44:06,187 --> 00:44:07,855
They are like children.

453
00:44:09,565 --> 00:44:11,734
They and their gods will be destroyed.

454
00:44:13,611 --> 00:44:16,280
This, my good friends,

455
00:44:16,364 --> 00:44:18,533
is the end of paganism.

456
00:44:20,201 --> 00:44:22,245
The end of the pagan gods.
