1
00:00:06,967 --> 00:00:11,763
<i>More, give me more
Give me more</i>

2
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:16,560
<i>If I had a heart
I could love you</i>

3
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:21,732
<i>If I had a voice
I would sing</i>

4
00:00:23,984 --> 00:00:27,946
<i>After the night
When I wake up</i>

5
00:00:29,198 --> 00:00:34,453
<i>I'll see
What tomorrow brings</i>

6
00:00:40,751 --> 00:00:44,880
<i>If I had a voice
I would sing</i>

7
00:03:38,887 --> 00:03:41,807
Why is that one-eyed idiot
staring at me all the time?

8
00:03:42,391 --> 00:03:44,393
He's been on the road with us for weeks.

9
00:03:44,976 --> 00:03:46,103
I don't like it.

10
00:03:48,397 --> 00:03:51,858
Tell one of our boys
to find a quiet spot and get rid of him.

11
00:03:54,069 --> 00:03:55,429
They're just mercenaries.

12
00:03:56,947 --> 00:03:58,490
I wouldn't trust them to do anything.

13
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,244
Then maybe you should do it.

14
00:04:06,289 --> 00:04:07,289
Sure.

15
00:04:23,682 --> 00:04:24,682
Bjorn!

16
00:04:27,436 --> 00:04:28,436
Bjorn Ironside!

17
00:04:30,605 --> 00:04:34,776
People of Kattegat,
I told you that when I became king,

18
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:37,070
my rule would be very different
from that of Ivar's.

19
00:04:37,154 --> 00:04:38,864
And I mean to keep that pledge.

20
00:04:41,032 --> 00:04:44,703
Ivar built a wall around our town.
He discouraged foreigners,

21
00:04:44,786 --> 00:04:47,706
outlawed free speech and dissent
amongst our own people.

22
00:04:48,915 --> 00:04:52,127
Kattegat can only survive
and grow prosperous through trade,

23
00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:56,089
not conquest. That is my belief.

24
00:04:57,674 --> 00:04:59,384
This is your meeting.
Your team.

25
00:04:59,885 --> 00:05:03,513
Your chance to come to me with
whatever you want, and I will listen.

26
00:05:05,140 --> 00:05:06,558
I am but your humble servant.

27
00:05:08,935 --> 00:05:10,103
Bjorn!

28
00:05:15,192 --> 00:05:16,234
Who are these men?

29
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:23,950
I know who they are.

30
00:05:28,497 --> 00:05:32,000
All of these men collaborated willingly
with Ivar's regime.

31
00:05:34,211 --> 00:05:35,879
They served as his bodyguards.

32
00:05:36,796 --> 00:05:41,218
They did his bidding, whatever that was.
However cruel. However depraved.

33
00:05:41,968 --> 00:05:43,762
They did it without compunction.

34
00:05:43,845 --> 00:05:46,640
Without a thought,
even for their own families.

35
00:05:48,517 --> 00:05:51,561
They burned alive those who were
brave enough to stand against them,

36
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:53,813
and they burned alive a young woman...

37
00:05:55,106 --> 00:05:56,233
called Thora...

38
00:05:57,192 --> 00:05:58,193
who I loved.

39
00:05:59,361 --> 00:06:00,361
Didn't you?

40
00:06:10,121 --> 00:06:12,791
- Are these men guilty?
- Yes!

41
00:06:13,625 --> 00:06:15,144
And what should I
do with them, huh?

42
00:06:20,215 --> 00:06:21,508
Take these men away.

43
00:06:32,769 --> 00:06:33,979
My son...

44
00:06:35,355 --> 00:06:37,941
the awful responsibilities of kingship.

45
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:57,002
These men are all guilty.

46
00:06:57,419 --> 00:07:00,714
They committed crimes
against their own people. Against you.

47
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,173
Yes!

48
00:07:02,882 --> 00:07:04,902
And I know you all think
they deserve to die.

49
00:07:04,926 --> 00:07:06,136
Yes!

50
00:07:07,679 --> 00:07:10,307
But there is something
far worse than death. Far worse.

51
00:07:10,515 --> 00:07:12,892
I will banish them for life.

52
00:07:14,561 --> 00:07:18,648
They will become outlaws,
Skogarmaors, men of the forest.

53
00:07:19,232 --> 00:07:22,360
Forever condemned to live in the forest
and other deserted places.

54
00:07:23,361 --> 00:07:25,196
Their property will be confiscated.

55
00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:29,784
They will be branded as Skogarmaors,
and they can be killed with impunity.

56
00:07:29,868 --> 00:07:31,286
This is much worse than death.

57
00:07:32,829 --> 00:07:36,791
They will live not as human beings,
but as ghosts. Outside of human society.

58
00:07:37,542 --> 00:07:42,380
Every day, forced to regret and remember
their decisions, and their crimes...

59
00:07:45,008 --> 00:07:46,551
yet unable to atone for them.

60
00:07:48,178 --> 00:07:50,263
Such is my decision.
All in favor say, "Aye."

61
00:07:50,347 --> 00:07:52,557
- Aye!
- Then it is decided.

62
00:08:19,292 --> 00:08:22,629
Come on! Kill me!
You'll be doing me a favor!

63
00:08:55,286 --> 00:08:56,955
You made the right decision.

64
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:01,501
- I hope so.
- Ivar would never have set them free.

65
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:04,587
But I am not Ivar.

66
00:14:19,986 --> 00:14:21,386
What do they call you?

67
00:14:23,156 --> 00:14:24,365
My name is Ivar.

68
00:14:27,076 --> 00:14:30,288
They call me Ivar, the Boneless.

69
00:14:32,832 --> 00:14:34,167
I've heard of you.

70
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:38,004
Ivar...

71
00:14:39,839 --> 00:14:41,049
the Boneless.

72
00:14:44,552 --> 00:14:47,180
Your fame has traveled
along the Silk Road...

73
00:14:49,932 --> 00:14:54,312
like honey, beeswax, furs and slaves.

74
00:14:56,481 --> 00:15:01,444
But why do you travel along it now,
without announcing yourself,

75
00:15:02,361 --> 00:15:03,613
like a thief?

76
00:15:03,821 --> 00:15:04,947
Hmm?

77
00:15:06,407 --> 00:15:09,786
I lost my kingdom to my brothers.

78
00:15:11,913 --> 00:15:13,122
I am nothing.

79
00:15:13,873 --> 00:15:16,626
And I have nothing
to offer you, Prince Oleg.

80
00:15:17,835 --> 00:15:20,922
It was not my intention to trouble you
with my presence.

81
00:15:23,174 --> 00:15:25,301
- Where were you going?
- Nowhere.

82
00:15:26,636 --> 00:15:27,929
I have no plans.

83
00:15:28,805 --> 00:15:32,100
I am simply fleeing the retribution...

84
00:15:32,767 --> 00:15:34,018
of my brothers.

85
00:15:37,188 --> 00:15:38,188
Well...

86
00:15:40,483 --> 00:15:41,859
you're here now.

87
00:15:48,157 --> 00:15:51,202
Who knows
if your presence will trouble me?

88
00:15:58,668 --> 00:15:59,752
Let us see.

89
00:16:06,926 --> 00:16:09,011
We have embarked
on a new way of life here.

90
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,430
That was always my commitment as king.

91
00:16:12,265 --> 00:16:15,393
To build the most successful
trading station in all of Scandinavia.

92
00:16:16,811 --> 00:16:19,981
But I will need your continued support.
I need my family.

93
00:16:21,691 --> 00:16:22,691
Mother?

94
00:16:24,026 --> 00:16:27,738
I wish you well in your enterprise,
my dear son.

95
00:16:28,322 --> 00:16:30,324
And I'm sure you will succeed.

96
00:16:30,992 --> 00:16:34,245
But in the future,
you will have to do it without me.

97
00:16:36,205 --> 00:16:39,417
I don't understand. Why won't you stay?

98
00:16:40,793 --> 00:16:43,379
I've seen enough of war.

99
00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:46,382
I have seen enough of death.

100
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:50,428
I have lost so many.

101
00:16:52,263 --> 00:16:55,391
I don't want to be
a public person anymore.

102
00:16:55,474 --> 00:16:57,518
I don't want to be responsible.

103
00:17:03,816 --> 00:17:04,901
I desire...

104
00:17:05,902 --> 00:17:08,571
to live a totally
different kind of life.

105
00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:12,200
How can you do that?

106
00:17:14,035 --> 00:17:15,786
I plan to build a farmstead.

107
00:17:16,662 --> 00:17:20,041
Just like the one Ragnar and I lived in
when we were first married,

108
00:17:20,124 --> 00:17:22,919
where we were all so happy.

109
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,507
I plan to build it in the countryside,

110
00:17:29,175 --> 00:17:33,554
untroubled by the problems of running
a large and prosperous town.

111
00:17:34,639 --> 00:17:38,184
Let me get this right.
You want to retire and disappear.

112
00:17:39,185 --> 00:17:41,771
The most famous shield-maiden
in all of Scandinavia.

113
00:17:41,854 --> 00:17:43,648
- In the world.
- In the world.

114
00:17:44,649 --> 00:17:46,943
In the future,
you become a simple farmer,

115
00:17:47,568 --> 00:17:49,528
just a forgotten and private person.

116
00:17:50,071 --> 00:17:53,658
Yes. That is what I want, Ubbe.

117
00:17:54,951 --> 00:17:57,245
I no longer wish to be famous.

118
00:17:59,872 --> 00:18:02,667
You must forgive me, Bjorn,
but my mind is made up.

119
00:18:05,336 --> 00:18:06,879
Then I must accept it.

120
00:18:11,050 --> 00:18:12,260
Can I count on you, Ubbe?

121
00:18:13,552 --> 00:18:14,720
Actually, Bjorn...

122
00:18:16,055 --> 00:18:17,765
fact is, just like our father,

123
00:18:18,391 --> 00:18:21,227
I feel the compulsion and need
to go exploring again.

124
00:18:22,311 --> 00:18:24,397
Surely, you of all people
can understand that.

125
00:18:25,523 --> 00:18:27,817
I was once told about
a land far to the west.

126
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:30,069
A wanderer had glimpsed it
from his boat.

127
00:18:30,653 --> 00:18:33,281
It's an uninhabited land.
Thickly forested.

128
00:18:33,656 --> 00:18:37,118
Trees as high as mountains.
He could not reach it himself.

129
00:18:37,368 --> 00:18:40,079
But they say just the vision of it
still haunts him to this day.

130
00:18:41,038 --> 00:18:42,331
I wanna find that land.

131
00:18:43,958 --> 00:18:45,710
If it really exists.

132
00:18:48,045 --> 00:18:49,880
Well, I can hardly stop you.

133
00:18:50,548 --> 00:18:52,383
Yet I will miss you, brother.

134
00:18:58,556 --> 00:19:00,141
And what about you, Hvitserk?

135
00:19:00,516 --> 00:19:03,144
I'm sure you also have
some reason to leave.

136
00:19:04,145 --> 00:19:08,024
If it is my fate to kill Ivar,
then I must try to find him.

137
00:19:08,441 --> 00:19:10,860
Where would you begin?
The world is such a big place.

138
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:14,113
Surely, the gods will one day show you
the rock under which he has crawled,

139
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:17,116
and until then,
you can stay here and help me.

140
00:19:18,659 --> 00:19:21,078
Probably better to stay
than to chase shadows, huh?

141
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:27,877
Well, I guess
it is true what they say.

142
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,003
Nothing lasts forever.

143
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,841
Wherever we may go,

144
00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:36,677
may the gods continue
to love and protect us. Yes?

145
00:19:36,761 --> 00:19:38,929
- Skol.
- Skol.

146
00:20:51,627 --> 00:20:54,422
Now, my friend, is the time for truth.

147
00:20:54,964 --> 00:20:57,633
Tell us about this King Ivar.

148
00:21:04,515 --> 00:21:07,726
Why were you so quiet
this evening? You hardly spoke.

149
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:09,603
You spoke of family.

150
00:21:10,855 --> 00:21:12,565
But family isn't everything.

151
00:21:15,109 --> 00:21:16,109
In the end...

152
00:21:18,654 --> 00:21:20,781
we are born alone and we die alone.

153
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:24,368
Yet, we need our family.

154
00:21:25,494 --> 00:21:26,745
We need our loved ones.

155
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:30,499
I need you, Gunnhild.

156
00:21:31,792 --> 00:21:32,835
I am here.

157
00:21:33,461 --> 00:21:36,589
I love you.
I have told you so, and I am honest.

158
00:21:37,465 --> 00:21:38,883
More honest than you, I think.

159
00:21:39,216 --> 00:21:40,468
Hmm.

160
00:21:43,888 --> 00:21:45,097
And tomorrow?

161
00:21:46,474 --> 00:21:48,559
Tomorrow I will still love you.

162
00:21:49,977 --> 00:21:51,520
I would walk into the fire for you.

163
00:21:53,731 --> 00:21:55,649
But beyond that, who knows?

164
00:21:56,484 --> 00:21:59,820
Though married,
I am still free in my soul.

165
00:22:03,574 --> 00:22:06,035
Sometimes, you are hard to love.

166
00:22:06,744 --> 00:22:07,745
No.

167
00:22:08,787 --> 00:22:10,331
I think I am very easy.

168
00:22:11,916 --> 00:22:14,335
- Kiss me.
- No, you kiss me.

169
00:22:24,470 --> 00:22:27,890
You see? Nothing is so complicated.

170
00:22:29,016 --> 00:22:30,935
Only thinking makes it so.

171
00:22:43,656 --> 00:22:44,657
Hmm.

172
00:22:45,157 --> 00:22:46,408
Is it true

173
00:22:46,909 --> 00:22:50,996
that the cripple you were accompanying
is the famous Ivar, the Boneless?

174
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,164
Yes, Prince.

175
00:22:52,456 --> 00:22:54,750
- He lost the battle?
- To his brothers.

176
00:22:55,042 --> 00:22:58,045
Bjorn Ironside, Ubbe, Hvitserk.

177
00:22:58,671 --> 00:23:02,007
All of them.
Sons of the famous Ragnar Lothbrok.

178
00:23:04,218 --> 00:23:06,178
How can I believe that he's a king?

179
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,057
Where is the proof? You have none.

180
00:23:11,267 --> 00:23:12,268
You're lying.

181
00:23:13,602 --> 00:23:15,062
You think I'm a fool?

182
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,648
A fatal mistake.

183
00:23:20,985 --> 00:23:22,486
He's not just a king!

184
00:23:24,488 --> 00:23:27,366
What? What did you say?

185
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:32,246
I said Ivar... he's not just a king.

186
00:23:35,416 --> 00:23:38,752
I don't understand. Then what is he?

187
00:23:38,836 --> 00:23:40,629
He's a god.

188
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,007
A god?

189
00:23:50,097 --> 00:23:51,640
- A god.
- Yes.

190
00:23:51,974 --> 00:23:55,477
A true god,
revealed to the world at Kattegat.

191
00:23:56,687 --> 00:23:57,938
We're Christians now,

192
00:23:58,188 --> 00:24:00,774
but we still have some strong memories
of the old gods.

193
00:24:01,734 --> 00:24:03,944
And still, perhaps, some fear of them.

194
00:24:05,487 --> 00:24:07,197
So, if he's a god...

195
00:24:07,906 --> 00:24:11,035
why was he traveling
through my kingdom in disguise?

196
00:24:12,077 --> 00:24:13,746
What are his real intentions?

197
00:24:14,830 --> 00:24:16,457
I can't help being suspicious.

198
00:24:17,499 --> 00:24:18,709
I need to know.

199
00:24:19,543 --> 00:24:21,712
You can imagine my desire, can't you?

200
00:24:27,551 --> 00:24:28,719
Please.

201
00:24:28,927 --> 00:24:30,804
You had better to tell me...

202
00:24:31,639 --> 00:24:32,890
my friend.

203
00:24:33,807 --> 00:24:36,602
There's nothing left to say.

204
00:25:18,894 --> 00:25:21,230
We have had some problems
with your friend.

205
00:25:21,730 --> 00:25:24,608
He was not cooperative. Not helpful.

206
00:25:28,696 --> 00:25:31,740
I don't understand.
What has he done wrong?

207
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,913
Your friend refused to tell us
why you had really come here,

208
00:25:38,914 --> 00:25:40,958
to my kingdom, in disguise.

209
00:25:44,294 --> 00:25:47,339
I already told you. There was no reason.

210
00:25:47,548 --> 00:25:50,050
There is always a reason.

211
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:52,428
Always.

212
00:26:39,308 --> 00:26:40,308
Lagertha.

213
00:26:58,535 --> 00:26:59,620
Maybe.

214
00:27:04,792 --> 00:27:06,084
Let's take a look.

215
00:27:55,092 --> 00:27:56,092
Hmm.

216
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,972
You are right, Torvi.

217
00:28:00,889 --> 00:28:02,808
This is where I shall build my farm.

218
00:28:04,434 --> 00:28:08,021
This is where I shall live out
the rest of my days.

219
00:28:09,231 --> 00:28:10,440
We will help you to build it.

220
00:28:10,607 --> 00:28:11,608
Hmm.

221
00:28:11,692 --> 00:28:13,527
We will not sail anywhere

222
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:15,821
until your new farmhouse is built
and you're settled.

223
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:24,496
I would need some livestock.

224
00:28:24,913 --> 00:28:29,710
Not much. A few goats, a pig maybe.
A horse to pull the plough.

225
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:32,085
Are you really going
to live here, Lagertha?

226
00:28:32,838 --> 00:28:34,965
- Yes.
- All on your own?

227
00:28:36,592 --> 00:28:39,052
- Probably.
- Won't you be lonely?

228
00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:44,474
No, honey, I won't be lonely.

229
00:28:44,558 --> 00:28:47,811
Because I will be visited
by Grandfather Ragnar

230
00:28:47,895 --> 00:28:50,022
and a lot of other friendly ghosts.

231
00:28:55,444 --> 00:28:56,695
I also have some news.

232
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:00,073
You don't need to tell me.

233
00:29:00,908 --> 00:29:02,284
You are with child.

234
00:29:03,827 --> 00:29:04,912
Life goes on.

235
00:29:08,290 --> 00:29:09,541
Life goes on.

236
00:29:10,876 --> 00:29:12,586
Pull.

237
00:29:23,597 --> 00:29:24,806
What do you think?

238
00:29:25,349 --> 00:29:27,893
Would you like to fly,
Ivar, the Boneless?

239
00:29:28,435 --> 00:29:31,396
- I don't understand.
- There is nothing to understand.

240
00:29:31,563 --> 00:29:34,608
Once we get enough speed,
we'll be free of the earth.

241
00:29:35,734 --> 00:29:37,819
Isn't that the dream of all humans?

242
00:29:38,862 --> 00:29:39,988
I don't know.

243
00:29:41,823 --> 00:29:43,533
Surely, for you
who cannot walk...

244
00:29:44,701 --> 00:29:46,787
who can only crawl across this earth,

245
00:29:47,371 --> 00:29:51,833
the thought of flying free as a bird
above it must be exciting, huh?

246
00:29:59,967 --> 00:30:01,677
Go!

247
00:30:09,977 --> 00:30:11,228
Let go!

248
00:30:12,354 --> 00:30:14,022
Don't be scared!

249
00:30:14,398 --> 00:30:16,358
You won't die if I'm with you!

250
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:19,236
- Go!
- No, no, no!

251
00:30:20,570 --> 00:30:22,239
No!

252
00:30:22,698 --> 00:30:24,199
- No!
- Let go!

253
00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:26,451
- Let go!
- No!

254
00:30:39,381 --> 00:30:40,590
Whoo!

255
00:30:46,847 --> 00:30:48,348
I wanted to bring you up here.

256
00:30:50,809 --> 00:30:51,809
Why?

257
00:30:52,019 --> 00:30:53,729
Because you're a god.

258
00:30:54,646 --> 00:30:55,897
It's true, isn't it?

259
00:30:56,773 --> 00:31:00,152
You are a direct descendant of Odin.

260
00:31:00,527 --> 00:31:03,780
You've been revealed
as a god, yes.

261
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:09,453
The gods travel
across the sky!

262
00:31:10,078 --> 00:31:11,246
Don't they?

263
00:31:27,971 --> 00:31:29,931
You won't die if you're with me.

264
00:31:30,098 --> 00:31:31,433
You are not a god!

265
00:31:33,685 --> 00:31:37,981
If I cut your ropes, you would fall
to the ground and die! Isn't that true?

266
00:31:38,106 --> 00:31:40,442
Do you believe, huh?

267
00:32:09,638 --> 00:32:11,431
Now do you believe?

268
00:32:58,019 --> 00:33:00,147
King Bjorn, Queen Gunnhild.

269
00:33:00,605 --> 00:33:02,315
We bring news of King Harald.

270
00:33:06,570 --> 00:33:09,656
We were led to believe that King Harald
had died of his wounds.

271
00:33:09,739 --> 00:33:10,739
No.

272
00:33:10,782 --> 00:33:12,576
It's true he was wounded in the battle,

273
00:33:12,659 --> 00:33:15,120
but King Olaf rescued him
and took him back home.

274
00:33:16,371 --> 00:33:18,373
Well, that was
indeed noble of King Olaf.

275
00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:21,251
Perhaps, not so much.

276
00:33:21,626 --> 00:33:24,171
While King Harald was sick,
King Olaf claimed his kingdom.

277
00:33:24,254 --> 00:33:26,840
And had enough warriors
to enforce his claim.

278
00:33:30,010 --> 00:33:31,178
That is a pity.

279
00:33:32,596 --> 00:33:34,139
What has it got to do with me?

280
00:33:35,182 --> 00:33:37,326
King Harald is still
recovering his health.

281
00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:39,978
But he does not want to be ruled
by King Olaf.

282
00:33:40,604 --> 00:33:43,273
He knows his life is threatened
and likely to be forfeit.

283
00:33:44,232 --> 00:33:46,860
He also remembers
that he came willingly to your aid

284
00:33:46,943 --> 00:33:49,362
when you desired
to attack your brother Ivar.

285
00:33:50,071 --> 00:33:54,576
And that he personally saved you
when Ivar tried to capture and kill you.

286
00:33:56,036 --> 00:33:57,396
Therefore he claims an obligation.

287
00:33:58,788 --> 00:34:01,750
He asks you, as a true Viking,

288
00:34:02,042 --> 00:34:04,669
as a son of Ragnar,
as a friend and ally,

289
00:34:04,753 --> 00:34:07,339
to help him overthrow the usurper.

290
00:34:09,507 --> 00:34:12,344
I am sure we are very sorry
for King Harald's plight.

291
00:34:13,470 --> 00:34:15,722
But I am not sure we are
under any obligation to him.

292
00:34:15,805 --> 00:34:19,768
On the contrary, King Harald believes
that you have become true friends.

293
00:34:20,185 --> 00:34:22,103
Whatever has happened
between you in the past...

294
00:34:23,355 --> 00:34:24,373
He could've pressed his claim

295
00:34:24,397 --> 00:34:26,566
to the kingship of all Norway
when he had the power.

296
00:34:27,776 --> 00:34:30,946
And he could have pressed his claim
to marry you, Queen Gunnhild.

297
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:40,664
As a man of honor, he did neither.

298
00:34:41,498 --> 00:34:43,458
But now, King Bjorn...

299
00:34:44,709 --> 00:34:48,004
he reaches out to you as another man...

300
00:34:49,923 --> 00:34:52,217
Man of honor, for your help.

301
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,346
We heard that you had
become king of Kattegat.

302
00:34:57,389 --> 00:35:00,183
So, the real question is...

303
00:35:02,269 --> 00:35:05,230
what kind of a king are you going to be?

304
00:35:12,237 --> 00:35:13,571
I will think on it.

305
00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:30,610
I have something to show you.

306
00:35:38,096 --> 00:35:39,514
What is this place?

307
00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:43,310
The mausoleum of my dead wife.

308
00:35:45,145 --> 00:35:47,355
The most sacred place in the palace.

309
00:35:49,607 --> 00:35:52,152
And the most sacred place in my heart.

310
00:35:57,282 --> 00:35:58,366
How did she die?

311
00:36:02,746 --> 00:36:03,788
I killed her.

312
00:36:05,707 --> 00:36:07,250
She was young and foolish.

313
00:36:07,834 --> 00:36:11,129
I discovered that she was
sleeping with one of my aides.

314
00:36:14,758 --> 00:36:15,925
I loved her.

315
00:36:17,927 --> 00:36:19,387
She was enchanting.

316
00:36:25,602 --> 00:36:27,520
I thought of her all the time.

317
00:36:36,446 --> 00:36:38,531
Even on the battlefield.

318
00:36:40,283 --> 00:36:41,283
Yet...

319
00:36:42,827 --> 00:36:44,412
all that time...

320
00:36:46,915 --> 00:36:49,042
in some sordid room
here in the palace...

321
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:53,004
she was secretly betraying me.

322
00:36:58,885 --> 00:37:00,261
I know your pain.

323
00:37:11,022 --> 00:37:13,441
Then you know all about
the fickleness of women.

324
00:37:19,114 --> 00:37:20,990
I somehow knew you would understand.

325
00:37:24,452 --> 00:37:26,496
I don't bring many people down here.

326
00:37:31,543 --> 00:37:32,627
But you...

327
00:37:36,756 --> 00:37:38,007
I think you and I...

328
00:37:39,217 --> 00:37:41,761
are going to have
a very special relationship.

329
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,226
I truly think so.

330
00:39:21,528 --> 00:39:23,008
As the sun sets...

331
00:39:25,615 --> 00:39:28,618
and in the sight of the gods, I swear,

332
00:39:29,661 --> 00:39:31,371
I will fight no more.

333
00:39:32,789 --> 00:39:33,831
Forever.

334
00:40:08,616 --> 00:40:10,618
Those messengers disturbed me today.

335
00:40:11,995 --> 00:40:12,995
I know.

336
00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:16,332
I did not expect it.

337
00:40:19,711 --> 00:40:22,672
It was when they asked me
what kind of king I was expected to be.

338
00:40:25,633 --> 00:40:27,093
I thought I had answered that.

339
00:40:29,178 --> 00:40:30,346
I thought I knew.

340
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,184
When I spoke to the people,
I spoke from the heart.

341
00:40:38,438 --> 00:40:40,064
I thought it was my answer.

342
00:40:41,232 --> 00:40:42,525
I am sure it was your answer.

343
00:40:43,651 --> 00:40:46,237
Those messengers, those unknown men,

344
00:40:47,238 --> 00:40:48,823
they spoke to something deeper.

345
00:40:49,407 --> 00:40:50,950
I'm sure they did not know it then.

346
00:40:51,868 --> 00:40:54,829
King Harald secretly commissioned them,
I know that, but still...

347
00:40:55,788 --> 00:40:57,290
You are confusing things.

348
00:40:57,790 --> 00:40:59,630
Whether or not you go
to the aid of King Harald

349
00:40:59,667 --> 00:41:01,377
will not define what you are as a king.

350
00:41:01,711 --> 00:41:03,004
Then what will define it?

351
00:41:03,796 --> 00:41:05,632
Perhaps your differences
from your father.

352
00:41:07,759 --> 00:41:09,177
Or my similarity.

353
00:41:11,179 --> 00:41:12,513
He was still loved.

354
00:41:16,017 --> 00:41:17,393
You must be yourself.

355
00:41:19,103 --> 00:41:21,981
I want to be myself.
I'm just not sure how to be.

356
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:29,405
After all, doing the right thing
might just be the easy way.

357
00:41:30,198 --> 00:41:31,824
That is always the danger.

358
00:41:32,784 --> 00:41:35,286
To do the right things
for the wrong reasons.

359
00:41:37,914 --> 00:41:39,666
You are so right to be cautious.

360
00:41:50,551 --> 00:41:52,351
When I look out
into the Great Hall...

361
00:41:53,971 --> 00:41:55,807
I see my father and my mother.

362
00:41:56,432 --> 00:41:57,432
Why wouldn't I?

363
00:42:03,147 --> 00:42:04,774
And suddenly, I feel old.

364
00:42:08,277 --> 00:42:09,987
I'm not their son any longer.

365
00:42:12,699 --> 00:42:14,033
I am your husband.

366
00:42:16,285 --> 00:42:17,285
A father.

367
00:42:20,998 --> 00:42:22,375
And I am a king.

368
00:42:36,723 --> 00:42:39,392
I have decided
to treat your arrival here

369
00:42:40,435 --> 00:42:42,979
as a sign, an omen.

370
00:42:46,733 --> 00:42:51,696
You see, for a long time, we Rus,
guided by my brother-in-law, King Rurik,

371
00:42:52,238 --> 00:42:55,950
looked to the east for trade,
conquest and expansion.

372
00:42:57,827 --> 00:42:59,495
Yet even before your...

373
00:43:00,705 --> 00:43:03,082
I admit, somewhat
unexpected appearance...

374
00:43:04,751 --> 00:43:07,170
I had begun to question
this way of thinking.

375
00:43:09,130 --> 00:43:10,715
Perhaps, after all...

376
00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:16,220
it's time for us to look west again.

377
00:43:17,555 --> 00:43:21,768
Years ago, I hung my shield
on the city gates of Constantinople.

378
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,774
But now, it's time
to hang it on the gates of Kattegat.

379
00:43:30,067 --> 00:43:32,487
Our ancestral and original home.

380
00:43:34,405 --> 00:43:35,782
And you can help me.

381
00:43:37,992 --> 00:43:42,455
And be revenged upon your brothers
at the same time.

382
00:43:49,504 --> 00:43:51,297
I say it is a fine plan.

383
00:43:53,299 --> 00:43:55,551
Now I see that my arrival here in Kiev

384
00:43:55,635 --> 00:43:59,180
was no accident, as I supposed,
but all arranged by the gods.

385
00:44:01,057 --> 00:44:02,809
For how could it be otherwise?

386
00:44:04,352 --> 00:44:05,394
The gods.

387
00:44:06,562 --> 00:44:07,980
Let us drink to...

388
00:44:09,148 --> 00:44:10,191
Odin.

389
00:44:12,401 --> 00:44:13,402
To Odin.
