1
00:00:00,314 --> 00:00:02,294
Previously on Vikings...
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,266
- What is your name?
- Yidu.
3
00:00:07,704 --> 00:00:09,985
Who sent you? Who sent you?
4
00:00:10,067 --> 00:00:11,526
My destiny is to be with you.
5
00:00:11,562 --> 00:00:14,538
I am prepared to defend
Paris to the death.
6
00:00:16,398 --> 00:00:18,067
You have betrayed your own kind!
7
00:00:18,103 --> 00:00:20,861
I came to deliver my precious
son into your hands.
8
00:00:20,999 --> 00:00:22,492
Teach him to be a Viking.
9
00:00:24,234 --> 00:00:28,929
I see some gross and indecent familiarity
between you and your father-in-law.
10
00:00:28,966 --> 00:00:32,442
You don't own me, Father,
nor does any man.
11
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:35,574
My name is Harald, but my
people call me King Finehair.
12
00:00:35,611 --> 00:00:36,896
Why have you come here?
13
00:00:36,933 --> 00:00:38,845
I'm making myself King of all Norway!
14
00:00:38,881 --> 00:00:41,558
In order to become King of all Norway,
15
00:00:41,595 --> 00:00:43,938
you would have to overthrow my husband.
16
00:02:03,886 --> 00:02:05,797
That was impressive.
17
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,262
I modified the Frankish weapon.
18
00:02:08,348 --> 00:02:10,305
It has a much greater range now.
19
00:02:10,392 --> 00:02:13,259
The Franks will not expect to
be attacked by their own weapon.
20
00:02:25,407 --> 00:02:27,068
Bjorn must have
murdered our Berserker.
21
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:29,025
It's a pity.
22
00:02:29,119 --> 00:02:30,701
It doesn't matter.
23
00:02:30,787 --> 00:02:32,778
Really?
How can you say so?
24
00:02:32,915 --> 00:02:34,781
Because we have eyes
in Ragnar's household.
25
00:02:35,626 --> 00:02:38,288
Anything we need to know,
we'll find out.
26
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:40,457
Bjorn's weakness.
Ragnar's weakness.
27
00:02:40,589 --> 00:02:42,045
The time to strike.
28
00:02:42,132 --> 00:02:43,293
Through Torvi?
29
00:02:43,425 --> 00:02:44,586
Of course, through Torvi.
30
00:02:44,968 --> 00:02:46,299
Otherwise, I'll kill her child.
31
00:02:46,386 --> 00:02:48,377
She knows I'll do it, too.
32
00:02:55,646 --> 00:02:57,808
Lagertha must
never know what we did.
33
00:03:02,069 --> 00:03:03,810
Who would tell her?
34
00:03:07,783 --> 00:03:09,774
What were you two talking about?
35
00:03:10,452 --> 00:03:13,490
Erlendur was telling me how he has
forgiven Torvi for leaving him.
36
00:03:14,998 --> 00:03:16,238
Really?
37
00:03:20,003 --> 00:03:22,665
That young man
still surprises me sometimes.
38
00:03:24,007 --> 00:03:26,999
I, too, have a surprise.
39
00:03:32,182 --> 00:03:34,014
I am with child.
40
00:03:37,938 --> 00:03:39,679
That makes me so very happy.
41
00:03:39,815 --> 00:03:40,930
Me, too.
42
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:43,186
More than I can say.
43
00:03:44,194 --> 00:03:46,105
Although it is still early days.
44
00:03:48,031 --> 00:03:49,192
Marry me, Lagertha.
45
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,659
Marry me. I have always known that
we were fated to be together.
46
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:57,370
Lagertha?
47
00:04:01,545 --> 00:04:03,661
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry.
48
00:04:04,881 --> 00:04:06,622
Don't ever be sorry.
49
00:04:06,717 --> 00:04:08,708
Say that you'll marry me.
50
00:04:19,438 --> 00:04:20,769
Who is he?
51
00:04:21,815 --> 00:04:23,101
You heard.
52
00:04:23,191 --> 00:04:24,932
He's a king.
53
00:04:25,027 --> 00:04:27,485
From Tamdrup, wherever that is.
54
00:04:28,071 --> 00:04:29,812
And you trust him?
55
00:04:29,906 --> 00:04:30,987
No.
56
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:33,907
I don't trust him either.
57
00:04:38,373 --> 00:04:40,785
Why do you not care
for your daughter, Siggy?
58
00:04:43,462 --> 00:04:45,078
I care for her.
59
00:04:45,922 --> 00:04:48,414
She just reminds me
of things I'd rather forget.
60
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,252
What kind of man takes a
mother away from her child?
61
00:04:56,141 --> 00:04:57,427
You tell me.
62
00:04:58,477 --> 00:05:00,593
You tried to take me
away from my mother.
63
00:05:02,356 --> 00:05:04,438
That is not the way it went.
64
00:05:05,233 --> 00:05:08,100
If you remember,
your mother left me.
65
00:05:10,614 --> 00:05:13,276
You left me.
66
00:05:21,416 --> 00:05:23,623
It is not easy being a father.
67
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,201
It is even harder
being a husband.
68
00:05:27,923 --> 00:05:29,914
Maybe I have failed at both.
69
00:05:32,844 --> 00:05:33,879
No.
70
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:35,836
I need a bit
more slack on the sail.
71
00:05:35,931 --> 00:05:38,514
I have definitely
failed at being a husband.
72
00:05:39,393 --> 00:05:40,929
Need a hand?
73
00:05:41,019 --> 00:05:42,475
Take more than that.
74
00:05:43,271 --> 00:05:44,682
No, three will do.
75
00:05:47,192 --> 00:05:48,728
- Bring it here.
- Where do you think?
76
00:05:48,819 --> 00:05:50,901
I want that close to me.
77
00:05:50,987 --> 00:05:52,728
Why would we?
78
00:05:53,198 --> 00:05:54,404
Oil these oars!
79
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:57,775
How many boats
and men do you have?
80
00:05:57,869 --> 00:05:59,610
More? No, take more.
81
00:05:59,704 --> 00:06:01,570
Take one more. I will go get one.
Do you have enough?
82
00:06:01,665 --> 00:06:03,121
Twenty boats.
83
00:06:04,126 --> 00:06:05,708
About 600 men.
84
00:06:07,212 --> 00:06:10,455
I told Ragnar mine
is a small kingdom
85
00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:12,756
for now.
86
00:06:13,343 --> 00:06:14,458
Better for the night.
87
00:06:15,679 --> 00:06:17,420
And when will they arrive?
88
00:06:18,557 --> 00:06:20,844
They must already
be on their way.
89
00:06:22,185 --> 00:06:24,347
My brother,
Halfdan, is bringing them.
90
00:06:24,563 --> 00:06:25,849
Bring him on board.
Can you fill these?
91
00:06:25,939 --> 00:06:27,521
Is your brother like you?
92
00:06:28,275 --> 00:06:29,515
No.
93
00:06:30,861 --> 00:06:32,443
He's much worse.
94
00:06:35,157 --> 00:06:37,023
He's much worse!
95
00:06:38,368 --> 00:06:40,359
You have such ambitions.
96
00:06:41,121 --> 00:06:42,862
What else is there?
97
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:47,909
What are we here for except to
achieve fame, just like your father?
98
00:06:49,296 --> 00:06:53,005
Isn't that what
you want too, Bjorn Lothbrok?
99
00:06:53,091 --> 00:06:54,422
Be honest.
100
00:06:54,509 --> 00:06:56,045
You don't know me.
101
00:06:57,888 --> 00:07:02,223
And fame won't make
your small kingdom any bigger.
102
00:07:17,324 --> 00:07:18,359
Rider!
103
00:07:23,663 --> 00:07:24,994
How many are there?
104
00:07:28,543 --> 00:07:29,704
Open the gates!
105
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:36,290
Werferth.
106
00:07:38,011 --> 00:07:41,504
We are met to decide
how to deal with Mercia.
107
00:07:42,516 --> 00:07:45,349
Now, I am almost decided
that the only way now
108
00:07:45,435 --> 00:07:48,848
is a full-scale
invasion of their kingdom.
109
00:07:48,939 --> 00:07:51,806
And, yet, if there
were some other way of
110
00:07:51,942 --> 00:07:54,775
restoring Queen
Kwenthrith to her throne,
111
00:07:54,903 --> 00:07:56,439
I think we must explore it.
112
00:07:56,571 --> 00:07:58,733
Have you any more
idea of the identity
113
00:07:58,865 --> 00:08:01,027
of the nobleman you knew as "W"?
114
00:08:01,117 --> 00:08:02,778
Let me help you please, Sire.
115
00:08:03,411 --> 00:08:05,448
The warring factions
of my kingdom
116
00:08:05,539 --> 00:08:09,123
are always known by the first
letter of their leader's name.
117
00:08:09,209 --> 00:08:11,120
"W" stands for Wigstan.
118
00:08:11,545 --> 00:08:12,956
He has royal blood,
119
00:08:13,088 --> 00:08:16,376
as well as being one of the most
powerful warlords in Mercia.
120
00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:18,252
Yet, he is obviously not
part of the Ruling Council.
121
00:08:18,635 --> 00:08:22,629
No. Wigstan would find it
unbearable to belong to any group.
122
00:08:22,722 --> 00:08:25,054
His interests are
always personal.
123
00:08:25,392 --> 00:08:26,723
Then you don't trust him?
124
00:08:26,935 --> 00:08:28,221
Trust him?
125
00:08:28,311 --> 00:08:31,895
My Lord, no one
should ever trust Wigstan.
126
00:08:31,982 --> 00:08:34,474
So there is no dealing with him?
127
00:08:34,609 --> 00:08:36,225
Absolutely not!
128
00:08:36,319 --> 00:08:39,232
The only way forward,
the only choice now,
129
00:08:39,322 --> 00:08:44,567
is for both of you noble kings to
raise your armies and invade Mercia
130
00:08:44,661 --> 00:08:48,996
and rid my kingdom of all the
factions who want to ruin me!
131
00:08:49,082 --> 00:08:50,243
Me!
132
00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:52,415
The only legitimate
ruler of that poor,
133
00:08:52,544 --> 00:08:54,660
ravaged, raped and abused land.
134
00:08:56,506 --> 00:08:57,837
I agree with the Queen.
135
00:08:59,676 --> 00:09:01,917
There is no other choice now.
136
00:09:07,017 --> 00:09:08,098
So it seems.
137
00:09:09,102 --> 00:09:11,594
Very well.
We shall take your advice.
138
00:09:37,255 --> 00:09:38,370
Wife,
139
00:09:39,716 --> 00:09:41,127
come to bed.
140
00:09:43,553 --> 00:09:44,839
I said...
141
00:09:45,972 --> 00:09:47,007
No.
142
00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:52,475
Why not?
143
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:55,891
I don't want to.
144
00:10:03,198 --> 00:10:05,565
Very well.
145
00:10:07,827 --> 00:10:11,070
Then go sleep with my father,
146
00:10:11,831 --> 00:10:13,242
you whore!
147
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:15,244
Yes, yes, and why don't you go
148
00:10:15,377 --> 00:10:17,288
and sleep with your mistress,
the Queen?
149
00:10:17,379 --> 00:10:20,167
Gives you another reason
to flagellate yourself!
150
00:10:21,299 --> 00:10:22,334
Go on. Hit me.
151
00:10:22,425 --> 00:10:25,133
Hit me if it
pleases you, husband.
152
00:10:25,220 --> 00:10:29,054
But it makes no difference,
either to you or me.
153
00:10:31,101 --> 00:10:36,687
You are husband to me in name
only, as I am wife to you.
154
00:10:38,024 --> 00:10:41,312
But you're otherwise
free to do as you will.
155
00:11:09,139 --> 00:11:10,379
We had an argument.
156
00:11:10,473 --> 00:11:11,759
Aethelwulf?
157
00:11:11,850 --> 00:11:13,841
He called me your whore,
158
00:11:13,935 --> 00:11:17,849
which I am and have
freely chosen to be.
159
00:11:23,027 --> 00:11:24,893
Do you want me to leave?
160
00:11:40,420 --> 00:11:42,536
This was my wife's ring.
161
00:11:43,882 --> 00:11:46,089
My wife died in childbirth.
162
00:11:46,676 --> 00:11:49,589
I cannot tell
you the pain of it.
163
00:11:50,013 --> 00:11:53,972
And I was resolved
never to marry again.
164
00:11:54,976 --> 00:11:58,185
But I would like you to wear it
165
00:12:02,734 --> 00:12:04,099
if you will.
166
00:12:18,041 --> 00:12:20,408
I cannot wait to take control
of my northern lands
167
00:12:20,543 --> 00:12:21,874
and set up my own court.
168
00:12:22,003 --> 00:12:24,540
You have some business
here first, remember?
169
00:12:24,923 --> 00:12:26,960
Some family business.
170
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:28,256
I know.
171
00:12:28,384 --> 00:12:31,922
A man can dream, can he not,
of dancing naked on the sand?
172
00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,387
In any case,
my father needs you.
173
00:12:34,516 --> 00:12:38,009
He needs a strong man to support
him and to guide him.
174
00:12:39,020 --> 00:12:40,602
He has Count Odo.
175
00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:42,266
I don't like Count Odo.
176
00:12:42,398 --> 00:12:43,934
Nor do I trust him.
177
00:12:44,567 --> 00:12:48,185
Of course, it's possible that
he could die in the fighting.
178
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,361
Slain by some unknown assailant.
179
00:12:50,448 --> 00:12:53,566
And then the Emperor would
just have to rely more on you.
180
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:56,401
Only a coward
181
00:12:57,914 --> 00:13:01,623
kills a man by
stabbing him in the back.
182
00:13:01,751 --> 00:13:03,412
That is what a Viking would say.
183
00:13:03,503 --> 00:13:05,710
But you are no longer a Viking.
184
00:13:05,797 --> 00:13:08,835
In Frankia, we do
certain things differently.
185
00:13:08,925 --> 00:13:11,792
That is something
you'll have to learn, my love.
186
00:13:12,262 --> 00:13:15,004
Something you'll certainly
have to learn.
187
00:13:38,454 --> 00:13:40,866
You asked
for a private audience.
188
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:45,371
Why?
189
00:13:45,461 --> 00:13:47,327
Your Highness, forgive me,
190
00:13:47,422 --> 00:13:49,789
I am reluctant
to discuss matters
191
00:13:49,966 --> 00:13:52,333
which relate
directly to my superior.
192
00:13:52,427 --> 00:13:54,088
You mean Count Odo?
193
00:13:55,471 --> 00:13:57,633
Then absolve
yourself of any guilt
194
00:13:57,765 --> 00:13:59,972
and just say what
you have to say.
195
00:14:00,435 --> 00:14:04,554
Highness, I am troubled that
you always trust his word.
196
00:14:05,356 --> 00:14:06,471
Why?
197
00:14:07,191 --> 00:14:09,979
Should...
Should I not trust his word?
198
00:14:10,570 --> 00:14:13,062
Because he is not
always worth believing.
199
00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:16,983
Why, pray,
is he not worth believing?
200
00:14:17,076 --> 00:14:19,158
Because he is ambitious.
201
00:14:19,245 --> 00:14:21,907
Ambitious beyond ambitious.
202
00:14:22,248 --> 00:14:24,455
So that even an Emperor's crown
203
00:14:24,584 --> 00:14:26,791
would not sit
untidily upon his head.
204
00:14:34,969 --> 00:14:37,131
An Emperor's crown?
205
00:14:42,435 --> 00:14:43,675
I cannot believe it.
206
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,477
What...
What are you saying?
207
00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:48,647
Do...
Do you have any proof of this?
208
00:14:48,733 --> 00:14:49,939
I have the word of his mistress.
209
00:14:51,527 --> 00:14:53,063
And, as Your Highness knows,
210
00:14:53,154 --> 00:14:56,647
a man will always divulge the
truth first to his mistress,
211
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,068
and only afterwards,
if at all, to his wife.
212
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,491
Very well.
213
00:15:04,749 --> 00:15:07,161
Let me talk to his mistress.
214
00:15:18,096 --> 00:15:19,586
For God's sake!
215
00:15:19,681 --> 00:15:22,013
How should I trust
the evidence of this woman?
216
00:15:23,476 --> 00:15:25,843
Because this woman is my sister.
217
00:15:31,859 --> 00:15:32,894
Is it true?
218
00:15:34,737 --> 00:15:36,068
Yes, Your Highness.
219
00:15:36,239 --> 00:15:37,320
And?
220
00:15:37,407 --> 00:15:43,073
Does Count Odo talk
freely of his ambitions?
221
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,570
Yes, he does.
222
00:15:46,165 --> 00:15:47,246
Very freely.
223
00:15:51,754 --> 00:15:55,247
His ambition to replace me?
224
00:15:58,553 --> 00:16:01,887
To become Emperor?
225
00:16:03,016 --> 00:16:04,927
Yes, exactly.
226
00:16:05,935 --> 00:16:09,894
His ambition to become Emperor.
227
00:16:10,398 --> 00:16:11,559
Then...
228
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,105
Then I beg you,
229
00:16:15,737 --> 00:16:19,446
please,
stay close, to Count Odo.
230
00:16:20,074 --> 00:16:24,534
Report to me anything which
might signal his treachery.
231
00:16:26,539 --> 00:16:28,121
Now, go! Leave me!
232
00:16:45,266 --> 00:16:46,802
The forts have
been built according
233
00:16:46,934 --> 00:16:48,470
to your instructions,
Your Grace.
234
00:16:48,561 --> 00:16:49,801
Eventually,
there will be an iron chain
235
00:16:49,979 --> 00:16:51,219
which can be raised between them
236
00:16:51,314 --> 00:16:53,146
to prevent the passage
of any boat upriver.
237
00:16:53,274 --> 00:16:55,311
We should still place some
boats beyond this barrier,
238
00:16:55,401 --> 00:16:56,812
In case they break through in.
239
00:16:56,944 --> 00:16:59,060
Hopefully, they will
be unable to do so.
240
00:16:59,489 --> 00:17:01,571
You don't know my
people like I do.
241
00:17:01,657 --> 00:17:03,147
They don't
recognize any barriers,
242
00:17:03,284 --> 00:17:04,740
except as obstacles
to be overcome.
243
00:17:04,827 --> 00:17:07,910
What has become clear to
both the Emperor and myself
244
00:17:07,997 --> 00:17:10,989
is that, if we were to lose Paris,
we would lose everything.
245
00:17:11,125 --> 00:17:12,832
For then,
the enemy would command
246
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,667
the Marne, the Seine
and the Yonne rivers,
247
00:17:14,796 --> 00:17:16,662
and the country would lie open
as far as Rheims.
248
00:17:16,798 --> 00:17:19,165
We must hold Paris
whatever the cost.
249
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,838
There is no alternative.
No other choice.
250
00:17:22,970 --> 00:17:26,133
When my brother returns,
everything will be decided here.
251
00:17:57,547 --> 00:17:59,458
Is this how you looked?
252
00:18:00,383 --> 00:18:01,498
Yes.
253
00:18:03,719 --> 00:18:06,051
Though my hair was much shorter.
254
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:13,055
What is the name
of your kingdom?
255
00:18:14,397 --> 00:18:15,558
China.
256
00:18:16,357 --> 00:18:18,018
And who rules it?
257
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:22,649
The Emperor Dezong,
of the Tang Dynasty.
258
00:18:26,659 --> 00:18:28,991
I want to know
about your father.
259
00:18:30,204 --> 00:18:32,536
My father was a... A merchant.
260
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,576
Well respected.
261
00:18:35,418 --> 00:18:37,750
Rich enough to own a boat.
262
00:18:37,837 --> 00:18:39,168
What about the Emperor?
263
00:18:39,255 --> 00:18:40,837
Tell me about him.
264
00:18:42,049 --> 00:18:44,040
The Emperor had
many daughters...
265
00:18:45,553 --> 00:18:48,045
with his wives and concubines.
266
00:18:49,182 --> 00:18:53,221
His concubines were looked
after by the palace eunuchs.
267
00:18:54,270 --> 00:18:55,431
Eunuchs?
268
00:18:56,063 --> 00:18:57,895
Men who are not men.
269
00:18:59,275 --> 00:19:00,686
Why are they not men?
270
00:19:00,776 --> 00:19:02,767
Their manhood was cut off,
271
00:19:04,071 --> 00:19:08,190
so they could not have sex with
the Emperor's wives or slaves.
272
00:19:10,286 --> 00:19:11,742
I don't like that.
273
00:19:11,954 --> 00:19:12,944
No.
274
00:19:13,122 --> 00:19:15,284
They didn't like it either.
275
00:19:42,777 --> 00:19:45,485
Are you one
of the Emperor's daughters?
276
00:19:55,748 --> 00:19:56,988
My father was a merchant.
277
00:19:57,124 --> 00:19:58,330
I know.
278
00:19:58,459 --> 00:20:00,325
You told me that before.
279
00:20:03,965 --> 00:20:05,126
I don't know you.
280
00:20:06,008 --> 00:20:07,669
And you don't know me.
281
00:20:07,802 --> 00:20:12,012
Yet I want to tell you
my most terrible secrets.
282
00:20:12,807 --> 00:20:13,888
Do you want to hear it?
283
00:20:14,016 --> 00:20:15,097
Yes.
284
00:20:17,937 --> 00:20:19,928
I can share your burden.
285
00:20:21,941 --> 00:20:25,525
I am small,
but I have broad shoulders
286
00:20:26,195 --> 00:20:28,152
and I am not afraid.
287
00:20:30,491 --> 00:20:33,859
I will tell you when you tell
me the truth about your father.
288
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:40,698
All right.
289
00:20:42,003 --> 00:20:44,370
Then give me more of that medicine.
290
00:21:19,582 --> 00:21:22,916
Bjorn Ironside,
come and sit with me.
291
00:21:29,258 --> 00:21:31,124
We should talk to one another.
292
00:21:34,263 --> 00:21:35,549
You don't trust me.
293
00:21:36,098 --> 00:21:38,055
I have no reason to trust you.
294
00:21:38,434 --> 00:21:40,425
You have told me
of your ambitions.
295
00:21:41,395 --> 00:21:44,308
Whether my ambitions come true
or not, it's not up to me.
296
00:21:45,149 --> 00:21:46,230
As well you know.
297
00:21:46,817 --> 00:21:48,774
'Cause I can make
sure they don't.
298
00:21:53,157 --> 00:21:55,694
I will never give you
any cause to kill me.
299
00:21:58,245 --> 00:21:59,656
That is not for you to say.
300
00:22:00,623 --> 00:22:02,614
I may find cause
where others may not.
301
00:22:03,959 --> 00:22:05,290
Who knows?
302
00:22:11,258 --> 00:22:15,126
But for now anyway,
we are allies.
303
00:22:16,972 --> 00:22:20,135
And we shall go
together to Paris.
304
00:22:20,810 --> 00:22:23,302
And we shall fight together.
Is it not so?
305
00:22:24,814 --> 00:22:28,773
You and Ragnar need my warriors.
You need my ships.
306
00:22:30,820 --> 00:22:34,063
I can't wait for Paris,
Bjorn Ironside.
307
00:22:34,156 --> 00:22:35,487
I cannot wait.
308
00:22:35,616 --> 00:22:38,529
We shall destroy
those Christian folk!
309
00:22:38,661 --> 00:22:40,698
They have seen nothing yet.
310
00:22:40,830 --> 00:22:42,320
We are the masters now!
311
00:22:42,456 --> 00:22:44,072
- Is it not so?
- Yes!
312
00:22:44,166 --> 00:22:45,247
Is it not so?
313
00:22:45,376 --> 00:22:46,457
Yes!
314
00:22:53,217 --> 00:22:56,960
So we are agreed, we'll raise
an army and attack Mercia.
315
00:22:57,054 --> 00:22:58,761
There is no alternative,
my Lord Aelle.
316
00:22:58,848 --> 00:23:02,057
Not if we wish to see Queen Kwenthrith
placed once more upon the throne.
317
00:23:04,061 --> 00:23:05,597
Travel safely, my Lord.
318
00:23:05,688 --> 00:23:08,305
You are the best of allies.
319
00:23:08,399 --> 00:23:09,981
I'm a simple man at heart,
320
00:23:10,067 --> 00:23:11,808
but full of conviction.
321
00:23:11,944 --> 00:23:13,651
Your convictions do you credit.
322
00:23:15,656 --> 00:23:17,317
Farewell, my child.
323
00:23:19,994 --> 00:23:21,530
Take heed of what I've told you.
324
00:23:22,538 --> 00:23:24,700
I will always
listen to you, Father.
325
00:23:24,832 --> 00:23:26,197
But also to my own conscience,
326
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:28,574
and weigh such things in the
balance, as it please you.
327
00:23:28,711 --> 00:23:31,078
It does not always please me.
328
00:23:31,213 --> 00:23:32,419
But enough.
329
00:23:32,548 --> 00:23:33,663
Women are frail.
330
00:23:34,717 --> 00:23:35,878
Farewell, children.
331
00:23:37,011 --> 00:23:40,299
Remember your duties,
say your prayers,
332
00:23:40,389 --> 00:23:41,971
and banish the Devil
from your thoughts.
333
00:23:42,057 --> 00:23:43,923
Such good advice, my Lord Aelle.
334
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:45,888
Farewell.
335
00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:49,595
King Ecbert?
336
00:23:49,732 --> 00:23:50,722
Front King's Guard!
337
00:23:50,858 --> 00:23:51,973
Yes, Queen Kwenthrith?
338
00:23:52,109 --> 00:23:53,224
All men forward!
339
00:23:53,777 --> 00:23:54,938
Move out!
340
00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:57,437
I need to know
that I can trust you.
341
00:23:57,573 --> 00:23:59,530
That you will do
what you promised me.
342
00:23:59,617 --> 00:24:01,449
Why would you doubt me?
343
00:24:02,244 --> 00:24:05,111
You've heard me speak
plainly and in public.
344
00:24:05,873 --> 00:24:08,205
I doubt you for one reason only.
345
00:24:08,292 --> 00:24:12,081
And that is that you and I
are somewhat alike.
346
00:24:12,922 --> 00:24:15,880
Then do not judge
yourself too harshly.
347
00:24:39,281 --> 00:24:40,612
Lord,
348
00:24:44,245 --> 00:24:46,236
you know me for a sinner.
349
00:24:50,334 --> 00:24:52,291
My sins are
350
00:24:53,504 --> 00:24:56,792
carnal, venal,
351
00:24:58,634 --> 00:25:01,001
and unforgivable.
I know that.
352
00:25:04,473 --> 00:25:10,139
And I think you have already decided
to cast me out into the darkness,
353
00:25:10,980 --> 00:25:12,687
like a fallen angel,
354
00:25:13,315 --> 00:25:17,684
to suffer in purgatory, or the
fires of hell, for all eternity.
355
00:25:22,283 --> 00:25:23,819
Think you, Lord,
356
00:25:25,035 --> 00:25:28,323
that I can look upon such
scenes with equanimity?
357
00:25:29,707 --> 00:25:31,948
That I do not dream,
in the dead of night,
358
00:25:32,042 --> 00:25:34,625
of returning to your light
and the promises of heaven?
359
00:25:34,712 --> 00:25:37,124
Am I not a man like other men?
360
00:25:44,013 --> 00:25:45,469
And yet,
361
00:25:46,849 --> 00:25:48,965
I would sup with the Devil
362
00:25:49,059 --> 00:25:52,552
if he would show me how to
achieve my earthly goals.
363
00:25:52,688 --> 00:25:58,274
Your kingdom, Lord, as you have
said, is not of this world,
364
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,692
but my kingdom is.
365
00:26:07,202 --> 00:26:09,159
And therefore,
366
00:26:10,164 --> 00:26:12,701
there is no help for me.
367
00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:17,748
No other way for me
368
00:26:20,716 --> 00:26:23,378
but eternal damnation.
369
00:27:09,431 --> 00:27:11,263
A boat's come in!
They're here!
370
00:27:14,103 --> 00:27:17,221
Bring him in!
Over here!
371
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,776
- Brother.
- Brother!
372
00:27:30,786 --> 00:27:31,992
This is Kattegat!
373
00:27:32,121 --> 00:27:34,237
This is Kattegat.
374
00:27:36,458 --> 00:27:37,493
Come.
375
00:27:46,093 --> 00:27:47,128
King Ragnar,
376
00:27:49,471 --> 00:27:51,803
this is my brother Halfdan.
377
00:27:53,267 --> 00:27:55,349
Meet the notorious King Ragnar.
378
00:27:58,439 --> 00:28:00,146
It's a great honor.
379
00:28:02,943 --> 00:28:04,433
When do we sail for Paris?
380
00:28:05,529 --> 00:28:06,985
You seem eager to fight.
381
00:28:07,114 --> 00:28:08,650
Yes, it's true.
382
00:28:09,533 --> 00:28:12,195
Not just for the sake of fighting,
but for the beauty of it.
383
00:28:18,125 --> 00:28:19,741
And against the Christians, yes.
384
00:28:19,835 --> 00:28:21,200
I hate the Christians.
385
00:28:21,712 --> 00:28:23,498
In the name of Odin,
I would kill them all.
386
00:28:24,965 --> 00:28:27,957
You'll have the opportunity
to kill a great number of them
387
00:28:30,053 --> 00:28:31,635
once we reach Paris.
388
00:28:50,032 --> 00:28:51,568
Faster!
389
00:29:25,901 --> 00:29:28,359
They'll be
wondering where you are.
390
00:29:30,113 --> 00:29:31,524
I doubt it.
391
00:29:56,265 --> 00:29:58,051
What are you thinking about?
392
00:29:58,141 --> 00:29:59,381
Paris.
393
00:30:01,228 --> 00:30:04,346
You must be
excited to be going back.
394
00:30:04,439 --> 00:30:05,679
No.
395
00:30:10,112 --> 00:30:11,602
I feel so old.
396
00:30:15,868 --> 00:30:18,485
When I was young,
I had the passion to win,
397
00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:23,330
but now, with age
and all that comes with it,
398
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,871
I have lost the desire.
399
00:30:28,714 --> 00:30:30,375
And the strength.
400
00:30:42,102 --> 00:30:44,309
A few years ago,
I established a settlement
401
00:30:44,396 --> 00:30:48,435
in a distant country where I
took many of my people and friends
402
00:30:48,525 --> 00:30:50,983
to make a new
life for themselves.
403
00:30:54,823 --> 00:30:57,485
But shortly after my departure,
they were all slaughtered.
404
00:30:57,576 --> 00:30:59,817
Their homes
destroyed and burned.
405
00:31:02,539 --> 00:31:05,156
I live with such
guilt because of it.
406
00:31:13,008 --> 00:31:14,669
And nobody knows.
407
00:31:32,110 --> 00:31:34,147
My father's the Emperor.
408
00:32:00,681 --> 00:32:04,891
They say he left Kattegat
a boy and came back a man.
409
00:32:06,061 --> 00:32:07,847
Killed a bear
with his bare hands.
410
00:32:08,730 --> 00:32:10,391
With his own hands?
411
00:32:27,541 --> 00:32:28,952
Who is that?
412
00:32:29,501 --> 00:32:31,742
It is Floki, the boat builder.
413
00:32:32,045 --> 00:32:33,877
For some reason
no one will tell me,
414
00:32:34,006 --> 00:32:35,838
he has fallen out
with King Ragnar.
415
00:32:36,591 --> 00:32:37,831
Ask him.
416
00:32:38,844 --> 00:32:41,051
Floki. Boat builder.
417
00:32:41,138 --> 00:32:42,549
Sit down with us.
418
00:32:43,098 --> 00:32:45,339
Yes, Floki.
Sit down. Make room.
419
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Both of you join us.
420
00:32:52,774 --> 00:32:54,230
- Fill the horns.
- Sup.
421
00:32:54,317 --> 00:32:56,809
This is my younger brother,
Halfdan.
422
00:32:58,113 --> 00:32:59,194
He's keen to know you.
423
00:32:59,322 --> 00:33:00,403
All right.
424
00:33:04,327 --> 00:33:06,068
So, you are the genius
that built
425
00:33:06,204 --> 00:33:07,945
the boats that
changed our world,
426
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,532
and helped make
Ragnar so famous!
427
00:33:10,625 --> 00:33:12,912
Why would he fall out
with someone like you?
428
00:33:13,503 --> 00:33:15,335
Because I killed
his pet Christian.
429
00:33:15,422 --> 00:33:16,457
Floki!
430
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:19,582
Skol.
431
00:33:20,969 --> 00:33:22,130
To new friendships.
432
00:33:22,596 --> 00:33:23,802
Skol!
433
00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:25,424
Skol!
434
00:33:25,807 --> 00:33:26,842
Skol.
435
00:38:23,104 --> 00:38:24,811
- My turn!
- Here, catch it!
436
00:38:25,565 --> 00:38:26,646
Mine!
437
00:38:40,580 --> 00:38:42,537
Ivar, do you want to play?
438
00:38:49,005 --> 00:38:50,086
Got it!
439
00:38:52,717 --> 00:38:54,503
It's mine, give it back!
440
00:38:55,845 --> 00:38:57,210
Now you go!
441
00:38:58,723 --> 00:39:00,088
Here! To me!
442
00:39:04,270 --> 00:39:05,305
Throw it!
443
00:39:06,564 --> 00:39:07,599
Here!
444
00:39:08,108 --> 00:39:09,473
Give it here!
445
00:39:13,113 --> 00:39:15,024
- Not to him.
- No, you...
446
00:39:15,115 --> 00:39:16,150
Higher!
447
00:39:18,118 --> 00:39:19,700
My turn!
448
00:39:19,786 --> 00:39:20,821
To me!
449
00:39:27,377 --> 00:39:28,959
Come on! Here!
450
00:39:55,989 --> 00:39:57,229
Do not be afraid.
451
00:39:58,199 --> 00:39:59,485
It's not your fault.
452
00:39:59,576 --> 00:40:01,442
Everything is all right.
453
00:40:04,622 --> 00:40:06,829
Everything will be all right.
454
00:40:56,174 --> 00:40:57,505
What is that?
455
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:01,551
Can I see?
456
00:41:05,517 --> 00:41:06,803
Where did you find this?
457
00:41:06,893 --> 00:41:08,600
I took it from someone.
458
00:41:09,229 --> 00:41:10,390
Why are you so interested?
459
00:41:13,441 --> 00:41:14,931
I want to talk to you.
460
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:16,725
What about?
461
00:41:18,112 --> 00:41:19,193
Us.
462
00:41:20,573 --> 00:41:23,110
We have moments
when I feel so close to you,
463
00:41:23,243 --> 00:41:24,574
especially when
you're inside me,
464
00:41:24,702 --> 00:41:26,033
but then you don't want to talk,
465
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,827
and I wonder why
you really came for me
466
00:41:27,956 --> 00:41:29,617
and took me away from my child.
467
00:41:37,131 --> 00:41:38,246
Torvi.
468
00:41:44,055 --> 00:41:45,591
I talk to you.
469
00:42:02,782 --> 00:42:04,147
By the way,
470
00:42:05,118 --> 00:42:06,483
that was Erlendur's ring.
471
00:42:10,665 --> 00:42:13,282
He got it from his father,
King Horik.
472
00:42:54,959 --> 00:42:58,702
You look... Lagertha,
you look so beautiful.
473
00:43:02,675 --> 00:43:05,337
This is always how I imagined
this moment.
474
00:43:06,512 --> 00:43:08,128
Wherever I am,
475
00:43:08,222 --> 00:43:12,136
I don't ever want to forget how
you looked on our wedding day.
476
00:44:36,144 --> 00:44:37,805
Earl Kalf is dead.
477
00:44:37,895 --> 00:44:39,886
Long live Earl Ingstad!
478
00:44:40,815 --> 00:44:42,897
Long live Earl Ingstad!
479
00:44:42,984 --> 00:44:45,726
Long live Earl Ingstad!
480
00:44:45,820 --> 00:44:47,982
Long live Earl Ingstad!
481
00:44:48,114 --> 00:44:50,822
Long live Earl Ingstad!
Long live Earl Ingstad!
482
00:44:50,908 --> 00:44:54,902
Long live Earl Ingstad!
Long live Earl Ingstad!
483
00:44:55,246 --> 00:44:57,408
Long live Earl Ingstad!
484
00:44:57,498 --> 00:44:59,830
Long live Earl Ingstad!
485
00:44:59,917 --> 00:45:02,409
Long live Earl Ingstad!
486
00:45:02,503 --> 00:45:04,835
Long live Earl Ingstad!
487
00:45:04,922 --> 00:45:07,505
Long live Earl Ingstad!
