Why?

365
00:35:41,069 --> 00:35:43,322
They believe it would
be better for both sides.

366
00:35:43,352 --> 00:35:45,881
Why would that be better for us?

367
00:35:46,211 --> 00:35:49,246
They don't believe you are capable
of breaching the city walls.

368
00:35:49,281 --> 00:35:51,118
I say we are!

369
00:35:51,148 --> 00:35:54,181
What will they give us
if we lift the siege?

370
00:35:55,087 --> 00:35:56,553
That would be decided

371
00:35:56,588 --> 00:36:00,937
at a meeting between you and the
commander of the city, Count Odo.

372
00:36:01,424 --> 00:36:03,877
BJORN: And where would
we have this meeting?

373
00:36:04,194 --> 00:36:07,758
Because I know that if
my father enters the city,

374
00:36:07,788 --> 00:36:09,849
he will be captured or killed.

375
00:36:11,555 --> 00:36:15,131
The Count suggested the meeting
take place outside the city walls,

376
00:36:15,161 --> 00:36:16,752
with no weapons.

377
00:36:17,842 --> 00:36:20,612

their answer tomorrow.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

379
00:36:48,572 --> 00:36:50,422
Why should we make any
kind of deal with them?

380
00:36:50,457 --> 00:36:52,040
BJORN: We've lost nearly a thousand men,

381
00:36:52,076 --> 00:36:53,842
we can't breach the city,
and winter is coming.

382
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:56,028
Do you need more reasons?

383
00:36:56,058 --> 00:36:59,303
Why do they offer terms, if they are
so sure we can't get into the city?

384
00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:00,802
They have probably run out of food.

385
00:37:00,832 --> 00:37:02,589
Then we should let them starve.

386
00:37:02,619 --> 00:37:04,336
Ah, then they will hate us even more.

I have something to say.

389
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,085
I did not become earl
because I aspired to be one.

390
00:37:17,811 --> 00:37:22,171
It came about because of
other peoples' actions.

391
00:37:22,932 --> 00:37:25,745
And I did not become king out of ambition.

392
00:37:25,775 --> 00:37:29,837
But once again I had no choice,

393
00:37:30,308 --> 00:37:33,648
as a result of other people's actions.

394
00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:37,922
But nonetheless, I am king.

395
00:37:39,355 --> 00:37:40,487
King Ragnar! Hmm.

396
00:37:41,123 --> 00:37:44,826
That is my name. King Ragnar!

397

What does a king do, Bjorn?

398
00:37:51,004 --> 00:37:52,772
- He rules.
- RAGNAR: Yes!

399
00:37:53,069 --> 00:37:55,288
Good. He rules.

400
00:37:56,301 --> 00:37:58,128
And as a ruler, I...

401
00:38:01,634 --> 00:38:03,908
(SOFTLY) ... have the last say.

402
00:38:03,938 --> 00:38:05,519

Not you! And not you!

406
