1
00:00:00,890 --> 00:00:03,015
Previously on
Vikings...
2
00:00:03,059 --> 00:00:05,059
- What is your name?
- Yidu.
3
00:00:08,064 --> 00:00:10,689
Who sent you?
Who sent you?
4
00:00:10,733 --> 00:00:12,191
My destiny is to be with you.
5
00:00:12,235 --> 00:00:14,777
I am prepared to defend
Paris to the death.
6
00:00:17,156 --> 00:00:18,739
You have betrayed your own kind!
7
00:00:18,783 --> 00:00:21,075
I came to deliver my precious
son into your hands.
8
00:00:21,744 --> 00:00:23,202
Teach him to be a Viking.
9
00:00:25,206 --> 00:00:29,708
I see some gross and indecent familiarity
between you and your father-in-law.
10
00:00:29,752 --> 00:00:33,212
You don't own me, Father,
nor does any man.
11
00:00:33,256 --> 00:00:36,298
My name is Harald, but my
people call me King Finehair.
12
00:00:36,342 --> 00:00:37,591
Why have you come here?
13
00:00:37,635 --> 00:00:39,593
I'm making myself
King of all Norway!
14
00:00:39,637 --> 00:00:42,388
In order to become
King of all Norway,
15
00:00:42,431 --> 00:00:45,766
you would have
to overthrow my husband.
16
00:02:02,553 --> 00:02:05,346
That was impressive.
17
00:02:05,389 --> 00:02:07,014
I modified the Frankish weapon.
18
00:02:07,058 --> 00:02:08,974
It has a much greater range now.
19
00:02:09,018 --> 00:02:12,144
The Franks will not expect to be
attacked by their own weapon.
20
00:02:19,695 --> 00:02:20,695
Ahhh!
21
00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:25,793
Bjorn must have
murdered our Berserker.
22
00:02:26,243 --> 00:02:27,493
It's a pity.
23
00:02:27,536 --> 00:02:29,161
It doesn't matter.
24
00:02:29,205 --> 00:02:31,205
Really? How can you say so?
25
00:02:31,248 --> 00:02:33,248
Because we have eyes
in Ragnar's household.
26
00:02:34,168 --> 00:02:36,710
Anything we need
to know, we'll find out.
27
00:02:36,754 --> 00:02:38,879
Bjorn's weakness.
Ragnar's weakness.
28
00:02:38,923 --> 00:02:40,506
The time to strike.
29
00:02:40,549 --> 00:02:43,008
- Through Torvi?
- Of course, through Torvi.
30
00:02:43,427 --> 00:02:44,760
Otherwise, I'll kill her child.
31
00:02:44,804 --> 00:02:46,679
She knows I'll do it, too!
32
00:02:52,937 --> 00:02:54,019
Ahhh!
33
00:02:54,063 --> 00:02:55,980
Lagertha must never
know what we did.
34
00:03:00,611 --> 00:03:02,444
Who would tell her? Hmm?
35
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,920
What were you two talking about?
36
00:03:09,537 --> 00:03:12,457
Erlendur was telling me how he has
forgiven Torvi for leaving him.
37
00:03:13,416 --> 00:03:15,457
- Really?
- Hmm.
38
00:03:18,587 --> 00:03:21,088
That young man
still surprises me sometimes.
39
00:03:22,383 --> 00:03:26,218
I, too, have a surprise.
40
00:03:30,641 --> 00:03:32,433
I am with child.
41
00:03:36,522 --> 00:03:38,230
That makes me so very happy.
42
00:03:38,274 --> 00:03:39,314
Me too.
43
00:03:39,942 --> 00:03:41,483
More than I can say.
44
00:03:42,653 --> 00:03:44,486
Although it is still early days.
45
00:03:46,449 --> 00:03:47,614
Marry me, Lagertha.
46
00:03:48,492 --> 00:03:49,825
Marry me.
I have always known
47
00:03:49,869 --> 00:03:51,785
that we were fated
to be together.
48
00:03:54,457 --> 00:03:55,789
Lagertha?
49
00:04:00,004 --> 00:04:01,644
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry.
50
00:04:03,299 --> 00:04:05,090
Don't ever be sorry.
51
00:04:05,134 --> 00:04:06,842
Say that you'll marry me.
52
00:04:17,813 --> 00:04:19,146
Who is he?
53
00:04:20,316 --> 00:04:21,607
You heard.
54
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:23,108
He's a king.
55
00:04:23,152 --> 00:04:25,778
From Tamdrup, wherever that is.
56
00:04:26,489 --> 00:04:27,821
And you trust him?
57
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,323
No!
58
00:04:30,326 --> 00:04:32,034
I don't trust him either.
59
00:04:36,957 --> 00:04:39,541
Why do you not care
for your daughter Siggy?
60
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:43,754
I care for her.
61
00:04:44,507 --> 00:04:46,673
She just reminds me
of things I'd rather forget.
62
00:04:47,176 --> 00:04:48,801
What kind of man
63
00:04:48,844 --> 00:04:50,604
takes a mother
away from her child?
64
00:04:54,558 --> 00:04:55,724
You tell me.
65
00:04:56,894 --> 00:04:58,894
You tried to take me
away from my mother.
66
00:05:00,773 --> 00:05:02,731
That is not the way it went.
67
00:05:03,692 --> 00:05:06,610
If you remember,
your mother left me.
68
00:05:09,073 --> 00:05:11,657
You left me.
69
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:21,875
It is not easy being a father.
70
00:05:22,586 --> 00:05:24,386
It is even harder
being a husband.
71
00:05:26,215 --> 00:05:28,215
Maybe I have failed at both.
72
00:05:31,345 --> 00:05:32,594
No.
73
00:05:32,638 --> 00:05:34,518
I need a bit more
slack on the sail.
74
00:05:34,557 --> 00:05:36,849
I have definitely
failed at being a husband.
75
00:05:37,768 --> 00:05:39,518
Need a hand?
76
00:05:39,562 --> 00:05:40,936
Take more than that.
77
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:43,188
No, three will do.
78
00:05:46,235 --> 00:05:47,693
- Bring it here.
- Where do you think?
79
00:05:47,736 --> 00:05:49,486
I want that close to me.
80
00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:51,572
Why would we?
81
00:05:51,615 --> 00:05:52,739
Oil these oars!
82
00:05:54,326 --> 00:05:56,243
How many boats and
men do you have?
83
00:06:00,124 --> 00:06:01,290
Twenty boats.
84
00:06:02,626 --> 00:06:04,042
About 600 men.
85
00:06:05,754 --> 00:06:08,964
I told Ragnar
mine is a small kingdom
86
00:06:09,925 --> 00:06:11,091
for now.
87
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Better for the night.
88
00:06:14,096 --> 00:06:15,762
And when will they arrive?
89
00:06:17,099 --> 00:06:19,057
They must already
be on their way.
90
00:06:20,644 --> 00:06:22,728
My brother Halfdan
is bringing them.
91
00:06:23,105 --> 00:06:24,438
Bring him on board.
Can you fill these?
92
00:06:24,481 --> 00:06:25,814
Is your brother like you?
93
00:06:26,567 --> 00:06:27,816
No.
94
00:06:29,278 --> 00:06:30,569
He's much worse.
95
00:06:33,449 --> 00:06:35,908
He's much worse!
96
00:06:36,619 --> 00:06:38,619
You have such ambitions.
97
00:06:39,288 --> 00:06:40,871
What else is there?
98
00:06:42,666 --> 00:06:46,335
What are we here for except to
achieve fame, just like your father?
99
00:06:47,838 --> 00:06:51,423
Isn't that what
you want too, Bjorn Lothbrok?
100
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:52,758
Be honest.
101
00:06:52,801 --> 00:06:54,301
You don't know me.
102
00:06:56,222 --> 00:06:57,638
And fame
103
00:06:57,681 --> 00:07:00,515
won't make
your small kingdom any bigger.
104
00:07:01,810 --> 00:07:03,143
And this one
is rotten at the bottom. Look!
105
00:07:03,187 --> 00:07:05,062
Take it out.
We'll take it back.
106
00:07:05,105 --> 00:07:06,985
It won't
last a week in the rain.
107
00:07:07,983 --> 00:07:09,316
These ones are dry there.
108
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,440
Here. And more.
109
00:07:11,487 --> 00:07:13,287
Ah, thank you.
I'll mend these.
110
00:07:13,572 --> 00:07:15,132
And then pass it down.
111
00:07:15,366 --> 00:07:16,531
Rider!
112
00:07:21,747 --> 00:07:23,121
How many are there?
113
00:07:26,919 --> 00:07:28,043
Open the gates!
114
00:07:33,676 --> 00:07:35,008
Werferth.
115
00:07:36,345 --> 00:07:39,846
We are met to decide
how to deal with Mercia.
116
00:07:40,933 --> 00:07:43,517
Now, I am almost decided
that the only way now
117
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,894
is a full-scale invasion
118
00:07:45,938 --> 00:07:48,021
of their kingdom.
119
00:07:48,065 --> 00:07:53,151
And, yet, if there were some other way of
restoring Queen Kwenthrith to her throne,
120
00:07:53,195 --> 00:07:54,945
I think we must explore it.
121
00:07:54,989 --> 00:07:59,408
Have you any more idea of the identity
of the nobleman you knew as "W"?
122
00:07:59,451 --> 00:08:01,076
Let me help you please, Sire.
123
00:08:01,829 --> 00:08:03,829
The warring factions
of my kingdom
124
00:08:03,872 --> 00:08:07,374
are always known by the first
letter of their leader's name.
125
00:08:07,418 --> 00:08:09,418
"W" stands for Wigstan.
126
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,545
He has royal blood,
127
00:08:11,588 --> 00:08:14,798
as well as being one of the most
powerful warlords in Mercia.
128
00:08:14,842 --> 00:08:16,922
Yet he is obviously not
part of the Ruling Council.
129
00:08:17,219 --> 00:08:21,013
No. Wigstan would find it
unbearable to belong to any group.
130
00:08:21,056 --> 00:08:23,265
His interests are
always personal.
131
00:08:23,726 --> 00:08:25,017
Then you don't trust him?
132
00:08:25,269 --> 00:08:26,518
Trust him?
133
00:08:26,562 --> 00:08:27,853
My Lord,
134
00:08:27,896 --> 00:08:30,314
no one should
ever trust Wigstan!
135
00:08:30,357 --> 00:08:32,858
So there is no dealing with him?
136
00:08:32,901 --> 00:08:35,902
Absolutely not!
The only way forward,
137
00:08:35,946 --> 00:08:37,779
the only choice now,
138
00:08:37,823 --> 00:08:40,032
is for both of you noble kings
139
00:08:40,075 --> 00:08:41,533
to raise your armies
140
00:08:41,577 --> 00:08:43,035
and invade Mercia
141
00:08:43,078 --> 00:08:44,786
and rid my kingdom
142
00:08:44,830 --> 00:08:47,247
of all the factions
who want to ruin me!
143
00:08:47,291 --> 00:08:49,124
Me!
144
00:08:49,168 --> 00:08:52,878
The only legitimate ruler of that
poor, ravaged, raped and abused land.
145
00:08:54,923 --> 00:08:56,683
I agree with the Queen.
146
00:08:58,010 --> 00:09:00,302
There is no other choice now.
147
00:09:02,598 --> 00:09:03,722
Huh.
148
00:09:05,476 --> 00:09:06,476
So it seems.
149
00:09:07,436 --> 00:09:09,978
Very well.
We shall take your advice.
150
00:09:35,631 --> 00:09:36,755
Wife,
151
00:09:38,175 --> 00:09:39,341
come to bed.
152
00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:43,220
I said...
153
00:09:44,390 --> 00:09:45,430
No.
154
00:09:49,645 --> 00:09:50,852
Why not?
155
00:09:52,648 --> 00:09:53,980
I don't want to.
156
00:10:02,157 --> 00:10:04,157
Very well.
157
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,538
Then go sleep with my father,
158
00:10:10,332 --> 00:10:12,040
you whore!
159
00:10:12,084 --> 00:10:15,794
Yes, yes, and why don't you go and
sleep with your mistress, the Queen.
160
00:10:15,838 --> 00:10:18,630
Gives you another reason
to flagellate yourself!
161
00:10:18,674 --> 00:10:20,799
Go on. Hit me.
162
00:10:20,843 --> 00:10:23,635
Hit me if it pleases
you, husband.
163
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,556
But it makes no difference,
either to you or me.
164
00:10:29,518 --> 00:10:31,393
You are husband to me
165
00:10:31,437 --> 00:10:35,105
in name only,
as I am wife to you.
166
00:10:36,525 --> 00:10:39,776
But you're otherwise free
to do as you will.
167
00:11:07,556 --> 00:11:08,847
We had an argument.
168
00:11:08,891 --> 00:11:10,140
Aethelwulf?
169
00:11:10,184 --> 00:11:12,184
He called me your whore,
170
00:11:12,227 --> 00:11:13,685
which I am
171
00:11:13,729 --> 00:11:16,188
and have freely chosen to be.
172
00:11:21,445 --> 00:11:22,819
Do you want me to leave?
173
00:11:38,795 --> 00:11:40,837
This was my wife's ring.
174
00:11:42,174 --> 00:11:44,424
My wife died in childbirth.
175
00:11:44,968 --> 00:11:47,802
I cannot tell
you the pain of it.
176
00:11:48,305 --> 00:11:50,555
And I was resolved
177
00:11:50,599 --> 00:11:52,390
never to marry again.
178
00:11:53,268 --> 00:11:55,227
But I would like you
179
00:11:55,270 --> 00:11:56,561
to wear it
180
00:12:00,984 --> 00:12:02,442
if you will.
181
00:12:13,622 --> 00:12:16,414
The forts have been built according
to your instructions, Your Grace.
182
00:12:16,458 --> 00:12:18,625
Eventually there will
be an iron chain
183
00:12:18,669 --> 00:12:21,419
which can be raised between them to
prevent the passage of any boat upriver.
184
00:12:21,463 --> 00:12:24,589
We should still place some boats beyond
this barrier, in case they break through.
185
00:12:24,633 --> 00:12:27,092
Hopefully they will
be unable to do so.
186
00:12:27,135 --> 00:12:29,177
You don't know
my people like I do.
187
00:12:29,221 --> 00:12:32,973
They don't recognize any barriers,
except as obstacles to be overcome.
188
00:12:33,016 --> 00:12:36,101
What has become clear
to both the Emperor and myself
189
00:12:36,144 --> 00:12:38,704
is that, if we were to lose
Paris, we would lose everything.
190
00:12:39,606 --> 00:12:42,941
For then the enemy would command the
Marne, the Seine, and the Yonne rivers,
191
00:12:42,985 --> 00:12:44,943
and the country would
lie open as far as Reims.
192
00:12:44,987 --> 00:12:47,028
We must hold Paris
whatever the cost.
193
00:12:47,447 --> 00:12:48,780
There is no alternative.
194
00:12:48,824 --> 00:12:50,198
No other choice.
195
00:12:51,243 --> 00:12:52,325
When my brother returns,
196
00:12:52,369 --> 00:12:55,078
everything will be decided here.
197
00:13:04,631 --> 00:13:07,048
I cannot wait to take control
of my northern lands
198
00:13:07,092 --> 00:13:08,258
and set up my own court.
199
00:13:08,302 --> 00:13:10,844
You have some business
here first, remember?
200
00:13:11,305 --> 00:13:13,430
Some family business.
201
00:13:13,473 --> 00:13:14,473
I know.
202
00:13:14,766 --> 00:13:16,391
A man can dream, can he not,
203
00:13:16,435 --> 00:13:18,268
of dancing naked on the sand?
204
00:13:18,312 --> 00:13:20,729
In any case,
my father needs you.
205
00:13:20,772 --> 00:13:24,274
He needs a strong man to
support him and to guide him.
206
00:13:24,943 --> 00:13:26,985
He has Count Odo.
207
00:13:27,029 --> 00:13:28,570
I don't like Count Odo.
208
00:13:28,614 --> 00:13:30,113
Nor do I trust him.
209
00:13:30,616 --> 00:13:31,616
Of course,
210
00:13:32,951 --> 00:13:34,618
it's possible that he could
die in the fighting.
211
00:13:34,661 --> 00:13:36,828
Slain by some unknown assailant.
212
00:13:36,872 --> 00:13:39,831
And then the Emperor would
just have to rely more on you.
213
00:13:40,792 --> 00:13:42,751
Only a coward
214
00:13:44,296 --> 00:13:45,920
kills a man
215
00:13:45,964 --> 00:13:47,964
by stabbing him in the back.
216
00:13:48,008 --> 00:13:49,716
That is what a Viking would say!
217
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,093
But you are no longer a Viking.
218
00:13:52,137 --> 00:13:55,263
In Frankia, we do
certain things differently.
219
00:13:55,307 --> 00:13:58,016
That is something you'll
have to learn, my love.
220
00:13:58,727 --> 00:14:01,353
Something you'll
certainly have to learn.
221
00:14:24,753 --> 00:14:26,711
You asked
for a private audience.
222
00:14:30,467 --> 00:14:31,716
Why?
223
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,635
Your Highness, forgive me,
224
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:38,640
I am reluctant to discuss matters
which relate directly to my superior.
225
00:14:38,684 --> 00:14:40,100
You mean Count Odo?
226
00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:44,312
Then absolve
yourself of any guilt
227
00:14:44,356 --> 00:14:46,189
and just say what
you have to say.
228
00:14:46,692 --> 00:14:48,441
Highness, I am troubled
229
00:14:48,485 --> 00:14:50,735
that you always trust his word.
230
00:14:51,446 --> 00:14:52,696
Why?
231
00:14:53,573 --> 00:14:56,324
Should... Should I not
trust his word?
232
00:14:56,993 --> 00:14:59,202
Because he is not
always worth believing.
233
00:15:00,122 --> 00:15:03,373
Why, pray,
is he not worth believing?
234
00:15:03,417 --> 00:15:05,500
Because he is ambitious.
235
00:15:05,544 --> 00:15:08,128
Ambitious beyond ambitious.
236
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,924
So that even an Emperor's crown would
not sit untidily upon his head.
237
00:15:21,393 --> 00:15:23,476
An Emperor's crown?
238
00:15:28,734 --> 00:15:29,858
I cannot believe it!
239
00:15:30,736 --> 00:15:32,360
What... What are you saying?
240
00:15:33,405 --> 00:15:34,946
Do...
Do you have any proof of this?
241
00:15:34,990 --> 00:15:36,790
I have the word of his mistress.
242
00:15:37,909 --> 00:15:39,367
And, as your Highness knows,
243
00:15:39,411 --> 00:15:42,912
a man will always divulge the
truth first to his mistress,
244
00:15:43,457 --> 00:15:45,039
and only afterwards,
245
00:15:45,083 --> 00:15:46,083
if at all,
246
00:15:46,126 --> 00:15:47,459
to his wife.
247
00:15:48,253 --> 00:15:49,753
Very well.
248
00:15:50,756 --> 00:15:53,423
Let me talk to his mistress.
249
00:16:04,394 --> 00:16:06,102
For God's sake!
250
00:16:06,146 --> 00:16:08,626
How should I trust the
evidence of this woman?
251
00:16:09,733 --> 00:16:12,108
Because this woman is my sister.
252
00:16:18,116 --> 00:16:19,157
Is it true?
253
00:16:21,119 --> 00:16:22,410
Yes, Your Highness.
254
00:16:22,454 --> 00:16:23,745
And?
255
00:16:23,789 --> 00:16:29,417
Does Count Odo talk
freely of his ambitions?
256
00:16:30,337 --> 00:16:31,836
Yes, he does.
257
00:16:32,506 --> 00:16:33,506
Very freely.
258
00:16:38,136 --> 00:16:39,427
His ambition
259
00:16:39,471 --> 00:16:41,679
to replace me?
260
00:16:44,810 --> 00:16:46,434
To become
261
00:16:47,479 --> 00:16:48,770
Emperor?
262
00:16:49,356 --> 00:16:51,064
Yes, exactly.
263
00:16:52,275 --> 00:16:56,069
His ambition to become Emperor.
264
00:16:56,571 --> 00:16:57,571
Then...
265
00:16:58,657 --> 00:17:00,281
Then I beg you,
266
00:17:02,035 --> 00:17:03,493
please,
267
00:17:03,537 --> 00:17:04,619
stay close,
268
00:17:04,663 --> 00:17:05,870
to Count Odo.
269
00:17:07,290 --> 00:17:11,376
Report to me anything which
might signal his treachery.
270
00:17:12,838 --> 00:17:14,420
Now, go! Leave me!
271
00:17:58,049 --> 00:17:59,382
Is this how you looked?
272
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,926
Yes.
273
00:18:04,264 --> 00:18:06,431
Though my hair was much shorter.
274
00:18:10,854 --> 00:18:13,521
What is the name
of your kingdom?
275
00:18:14,733 --> 00:18:15,899
China.
276
00:18:16,735 --> 00:18:18,109
And who rules it?
277
00:18:19,237 --> 00:18:21,362
The Emperor Dezong,
278
00:18:21,406 --> 00:18:23,031
of the Tang Dynasty.
279
00:18:27,037 --> 00:18:28,828
I want to know
about your father.
280
00:18:30,582 --> 00:18:32,957
My father was a... A merchant.
281
00:18:33,418 --> 00:18:35,043
Well respected.
282
00:18:35,837 --> 00:18:38,254
Rich enough to own a boat.
283
00:18:38,298 --> 00:18:39,547
What about the Emperor?
284
00:18:39,591 --> 00:18:41,090
Tell me about him.
285
00:18:42,427 --> 00:18:44,636
The Emperor had
many daughters...
286
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:45,887
Mmm.
287
00:18:45,931 --> 00:18:48,473
With his wives and concubines.
288
00:18:49,601 --> 00:18:52,060
His concubines were looked after
289
00:18:52,103 --> 00:18:53,645
by the palace eunuchs.
290
00:18:54,689 --> 00:18:55,897
Eunuchs?
291
00:18:56,483 --> 00:18:57,982
Men who are not men.
292
00:18:59,778 --> 00:19:01,194
Why are they not men?
293
00:19:01,237 --> 00:19:03,279
Their manhood was cut off.
294
00:19:05,533 --> 00:19:06,950
I don't like that.
295
00:19:07,243 --> 00:19:08,243
No.
296
00:19:08,286 --> 00:19:10,161
They didn't like it either.
297
00:19:38,191 --> 00:19:40,231
Are you one
of the Emperor's daughters?
298
00:19:50,996 --> 00:19:53,663
- My father was a merchant.
- I know.
299
00:19:53,707 --> 00:19:55,164
You told me that before.
300
00:19:59,254 --> 00:20:00,378
I don't know you.
301
00:20:01,214 --> 00:20:02,755
And you don't know me.
302
00:20:03,174 --> 00:20:07,385
Yet I want to tell you
my most terrible secret.
303
00:20:08,722 --> 00:20:10,138
- Do you want to hear it?
- Yes.
304
00:20:10,181 --> 00:20:11,389
Mmm-hmm?
305
00:20:13,143 --> 00:20:15,059
I can share your burden.
306
00:20:15,729 --> 00:20:16,729
Mmm.
307
00:20:17,105 --> 00:20:18,354
I am small,
308
00:20:18,398 --> 00:20:20,732
but I have broad shoulders
309
00:20:21,401 --> 00:20:23,317
and I am not afraid.
310
00:20:25,697 --> 00:20:28,865
I will tell you when you tell
me the truth about your father.
311
00:20:34,372 --> 00:20:35,830
All right.
312
00:20:37,125 --> 00:20:39,000
Then give me
more of that medicine.
313
00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:13,076
So we are agreed,
314
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,620
we'll raise an army
and attack Mercia.
315
00:21:15,663 --> 00:21:17,538
There is no alternative,
my Lord Aelle.
316
00:21:17,582 --> 00:21:20,583
Not if we wish to see Queen Kwenthrith
placed once more upon the throne.
317
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:24,253
Travel safely, my Lord.
318
00:21:24,297 --> 00:21:26,923
You are the best of allies.
319
00:21:26,966 --> 00:21:28,674
I'm a simple
man at heart,
320
00:21:28,718 --> 00:21:32,178
- but full of conviction.
- Your convictions, do you credit.
321
00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:35,973
Farewell, my child.
322
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Take heed of what I've told you.
323
00:21:41,189 --> 00:21:43,356
I will always
listen to you, Father.
324
00:21:43,399 --> 00:21:45,382
But also to my own
conscience, and weigh such
325
00:21:45,407 --> 00:21:47,193
things in the balance,
as it pleases you.
326
00:21:47,237 --> 00:21:49,779
It does not always please me.
327
00:21:49,823 --> 00:21:51,114
But enough!
328
00:21:51,157 --> 00:21:52,198
Women are frail.
329
00:21:53,326 --> 00:21:54,367
Farewell, children.
330
00:21:55,537 --> 00:21:57,203
Remember your duties,
331
00:21:57,247 --> 00:21:58,913
say your prayers,
332
00:21:58,957 --> 00:22:00,623
and banish the Devil
from your thoughts.
333
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:02,387
Such good advice, my Lord Aelle.
334
00:22:03,336 --> 00:22:04,418
Farewell.
335
00:22:06,881 --> 00:22:07,961
King Ecbert?
336
00:22:08,341 --> 00:22:09,590
Front King's Guard!
337
00:22:09,634 --> 00:22:11,674
- Yes, Queen Kwenthrith?
- All men forward!
338
00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:13,344
Move out!
339
00:22:13,388 --> 00:22:15,847
I need to know
that I can trust you.
340
00:22:16,224 --> 00:22:18,182
That you will do
what you promised me.
341
00:22:18,226 --> 00:22:19,600
Why would you doubt me?
342
00:22:20,937 --> 00:22:23,771
You've heard me speak
plainly and in public.
343
00:22:24,482 --> 00:22:26,691
I doubt you for one reason only.
344
00:22:26,734 --> 00:22:30,570
And that is that you and I are
somewhat alike.
345
00:22:31,531 --> 00:22:34,365
Then do not judge
yourself too harshly.
346
00:23:00,018 --> 00:23:01,100
Lord,
347
00:23:04,397 --> 00:23:06,147
you know me for a sinner.
348
00:23:07,108 --> 00:23:12,486
And I think you have already decided
to cast me out into the darkness,
349
00:23:13,406 --> 00:23:14,572
like a fallen angel,
350
00:23:16,326 --> 00:23:20,119
to suffer in purgatory, or the
fires of hell, for all eternity.
351
00:23:24,751 --> 00:23:25,958
Think you, Lord,
352
00:23:27,545 --> 00:23:30,171
that I can look upon such
scenes with equanimity?
353
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,550
That I do not dream,
in the dead of night,
354
00:23:34,594 --> 00:23:37,178
of returning to your light
and the promises of heaven?
355
00:23:37,222 --> 00:23:39,639
Am I not a man like other men?
356
00:23:46,439 --> 00:23:47,563
And yet,
357
00:23:49,317 --> 00:23:51,442
I would sup with the Devil
358
00:23:51,486 --> 00:23:52,777
if he would show me
359
00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:55,071
how to achieve my earthly goals.
360
00:23:55,114 --> 00:24:00,576
Your kingdom, Lord, as you have
said, is not of this world,
361
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:03,162
but my kingdom is.
362
00:24:42,245 --> 00:24:43,369
Bjorn Ironside,
363
00:24:43,997 --> 00:24:45,037
come and sit with me.
364
00:24:52,005 --> 00:24:53,587
We should talk to one another.
365
00:24:57,176 --> 00:24:58,342
You don't trust me.
366
00:24:58,886 --> 00:25:00,720
I have no reason to trust you.
367
00:25:01,472 --> 00:25:03,556
You have told me
of your ambitions.
368
00:25:07,562 --> 00:25:09,854
I will never give you
any cause to kill me.
369
00:25:12,525 --> 00:25:13,941
That is not for you to say.
370
00:25:14,861 --> 00:25:17,069
I may find cause
where others may not.
371
00:25:18,239 --> 00:25:19,322
Who knows?
372
00:25:25,580 --> 00:25:27,038
But for now anyway,
373
00:25:28,416 --> 00:25:30,082
we are allies.
374
00:25:31,377 --> 00:25:34,378
And we shall go
together to Paris.
375
00:25:35,340 --> 00:25:37,548
And we shall fight together.
Is it not so?
376
00:25:39,218 --> 00:25:42,845
You and Ragnar need my warriors.
You need my ships.
377
00:25:45,266 --> 00:25:46,766
I can't wait for Paris,
378
00:25:46,809 --> 00:25:48,100
Bjorn Ironside.
379
00:25:48,603 --> 00:25:49,852
I cannot wait.
380
00:25:49,896 --> 00:25:52,438
We shall destroy
those Christian folk!
381
00:25:52,899 --> 00:25:54,273
They have seen nothing yet.
382
00:25:55,151 --> 00:25:56,317
We are the masters now!
383
00:25:56,861 --> 00:25:58,527
- Is it not so?
- Yes! Yeah!
384
00:25:58,571 --> 00:26:01,364
- Is it not so?
- Yes!
385
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,640
- A boat's come in!
- They're here!
386
00:26:31,979 --> 00:26:33,859
- Bring him in!
- Over here!
387
00:26:42,490 --> 00:26:44,010
- Brother.
- Brother!
388
00:26:47,078 --> 00:26:48,285
This is Kattegat!
389
00:26:48,329 --> 00:26:50,329
This is Kattegat.
390
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:53,667
Come.
391
00:27:02,343 --> 00:27:03,384
King Ragnar,
392
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,055
this is my brother Halfdan.
393
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:11,642
Meet the notorious King Ragnar.
394
00:27:15,022 --> 00:27:16,355
It's a great honor.
395
00:27:19,235 --> 00:27:20,651
When do we sail for Paris?
396
00:27:21,904 --> 00:27:22,987
You seem eager to fight.
397
00:27:23,364 --> 00:27:24,905
Yes, it's true.
398
00:27:26,576 --> 00:27:29,136
Not just for the sake of fighting,
but for the beauty of it.
399
00:27:34,417 --> 00:27:36,167
And against the Christians, yes.
400
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:37,250
I hate the Christians.
401
00:27:38,337 --> 00:27:40,337
In the name of Odin,
I would kill them all.
402
00:27:41,215 --> 00:27:43,716
You'll have the opportunity
to kill a great number of them
403
00:27:46,387 --> 00:27:47,595
once we reach Paris.
404
00:28:06,199 --> 00:28:07,999
Faster!
405
00:28:08,284 --> 00:28:09,742
Argh!
406
00:28:42,443 --> 00:28:44,203
They'll be wondering
where you are.
407
00:28:46,489 --> 00:28:47,738
I doubt it.
408
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,473
What are you thinking about?
409
00:29:14,517 --> 00:29:15,641
Paris.
410
00:29:17,645 --> 00:29:20,646
You must be excited
to be going back.
411
00:29:20,690 --> 00:29:21,939
No.
412
00:29:26,529 --> 00:29:27,695
I feel so old.
413
00:29:32,326 --> 00:29:34,952
When I was young
I had the passion to win,
414
00:29:34,996 --> 00:29:39,748
but now, with age
and all that comes with it,
415
00:29:41,210 --> 00:29:42,793
I have lost the desire.
416
00:29:44,922 --> 00:29:46,046
And the strength.
417
00:29:58,477 --> 00:30:00,644
A few years ago
I established a settlement
418
00:30:00,688 --> 00:30:04,648
in a distant country where I took
many of my people and friends
419
00:30:04,692 --> 00:30:06,984
to make a new life
for themselves.
420
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,616
But shortly after my departure,
they were all slaughtered.
421
00:30:13,659 --> 00:30:15,784
Their homes
destroyed and burned.
422
00:30:18,914 --> 00:30:20,674
I live with such guilt
because of it.
423
00:30:29,216 --> 00:30:30,674
And nobody knows.
424
00:30:48,361 --> 00:30:50,194
My father's the Emperor.
425
00:31:17,056 --> 00:31:21,141
They say he left Kattegat
a boy and came back a man.
426
00:31:22,269 --> 00:31:23,989
Killed a bear
with his bare hands.
427
00:31:25,106 --> 00:31:26,106
With his own hands?
428
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,440
Hmm.
429
00:31:43,791 --> 00:31:45,207
Who is that?
430
00:31:45,793 --> 00:31:47,626
It is Floki, the boat builder.
431
00:31:48,546 --> 00:31:50,295
For some reason
no one will tell me,
432
00:31:50,339 --> 00:31:52,179
he has fallen out
with King Ragnar.
433
00:31:52,967 --> 00:31:53,967
Ask him.
434
00:31:55,136 --> 00:31:57,428
Floki. Boat builder.
435
00:31:57,471 --> 00:31:58,471
Sit down with us.
436
00:31:59,348 --> 00:32:01,515
Yes, Floki. Sit down.
Make room.
437
00:32:07,648 --> 00:32:08,981
Both of you join us.
438
00:32:09,024 --> 00:32:10,441
- Fill the horns.
- Sup.
439
00:32:10,484 --> 00:32:12,985
This is
my younger brother, Halfdan.
440
00:32:14,321 --> 00:32:16,196
- He's keen to know you.
- All right.
441
00:32:20,578 --> 00:32:24,288
So, you are the genius that built
the boats that changed our world,
442
00:32:24,331 --> 00:32:26,832
and helped made Ragnar
so famous!
443
00:32:26,876 --> 00:32:29,084
Why would he fall out
with someone like you?
444
00:32:29,879 --> 00:32:31,587
Because I killed
his pet Christian.
445
00:32:31,630 --> 00:32:33,070
Floki!
446
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,841
Skol.
447
00:32:37,344 --> 00:32:38,385
To new friendships.
448
00:32:38,888 --> 00:32:40,095
Skol!
449
00:32:40,598 --> 00:32:41,598
Skol!
450
00:32:42,016 --> 00:32:43,016
Skol.
451
00:36:52,474 --> 00:36:53,765
- My turn!
- Here, catch it!
452
00:36:54,977 --> 00:36:56,101
Mine!
453
00:37:10,117 --> 00:37:11,533
Ivar, do you want to play?
454
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:19,583
Got it!
455
00:37:22,504 --> 00:37:24,184
It's mine,
give it back!
456
00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:26,340
Now you go!
457
00:37:28,177 --> 00:37:29,301
Here! To me!
458
00:37:33,682 --> 00:37:34,723
Throw it!
459
00:37:36,018 --> 00:37:37,059
Here!
460
00:37:37,561 --> 00:37:38,561
Give it here!
461
00:37:42,608 --> 00:37:44,483
- Not to him.
- No, you...
462
00:37:44,526 --> 00:37:45,650
Higher!
463
00:37:47,529 --> 00:37:49,279
My turn!
464
00:37:49,323 --> 00:37:50,323
To me!
465
00:37:56,872 --> 00:37:58,413
Come on! Here!
466
00:38:25,567 --> 00:38:26,650
Do not be afraid.
467
00:38:27,736 --> 00:38:28,944
It's not your fault.
468
00:38:28,987 --> 00:38:30,587
Everything is all right.
469
00:38:34,076 --> 00:38:35,826
Everything will be all right.
470
00:39:27,838 --> 00:39:28,962
What is that?
471
00:39:31,842 --> 00:39:33,175
Can I see?
472
00:39:37,055 --> 00:39:38,346
Where did you find this?
473
00:39:38,390 --> 00:39:39,764
I took it from someone.
474
00:39:40,851 --> 00:39:41,971
Why are you so interested?
475
00:39:45,022 --> 00:39:46,104
I want to talk to you.
476
00:39:46,899 --> 00:39:48,064
What about?
477
00:39:49,735 --> 00:39:50,735
Us.
478
00:39:52,112 --> 00:39:54,362
We have moments
when I feel so close to you,
479
00:39:55,032 --> 00:39:57,657
especially when you're inside me,
but then you don't want to talk,
480
00:39:57,701 --> 00:39:59,284
and I wonder why
you really came for me
481
00:39:59,328 --> 00:40:01,203
and took me away from my child.
482
00:40:08,754 --> 00:40:09,754
Torvi.
483
00:40:15,594 --> 00:40:16,843
I talk to you.
484
00:40:34,446 --> 00:40:35,654
By the way,
485
00:40:36,782 --> 00:40:38,114
that was Erlendur's ring.
486
00:40:42,454 --> 00:40:44,120
He got it from his father,
King Horik.
487
00:41:26,498 --> 00:41:30,208
You look... Lagertha,
you look so beautiful.
488
00:41:34,172 --> 00:41:36,256
This is always how I imagined
this moment.
489
00:41:38,010 --> 00:41:39,175
Wherever I am,
490
00:41:40,887 --> 00:41:43,407
I don't ever want to forget how
you looked on our wedding day.
491
00:43:07,724 --> 00:43:09,349
Earl Kalf is dead.
492
00:43:09,393 --> 00:43:11,476
Long live Earl Ingstad!
493
00:43:12,562 --> 00:43:14,521
Long live Earl Ingstad!
494
00:43:14,564 --> 00:43:17,357
Long live Earl Ingstad!
495
00:43:17,401 --> 00:43:19,692
Long live Earl Ingstad!
496
00:43:19,736 --> 00:43:22,529
Long live Earl Ingstad!
Long live Earl Ingstad!
497
00:43:22,572 --> 00:43:26,616
Long live Earl Ingstad!
Long live Earl Ingstad!
498
00:43:26,660 --> 00:43:28,952
Long live Earl Ingstad!
499
00:43:28,995 --> 00:43:31,413
Long live Earl Ingstad!
500
00:43:31,456 --> 00:43:33,832
Long live Earl Ingstad!
501
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:36,418
Long live Earl Ingstad!
502
00:43:36,461 --> 00:43:38,753
Long live Earl Ingstad!
