1
00:00:03,212 --> 00:00:05,214
(If I had a heart playing)

2
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:04,523
(Crow cawing)

3
00:01:19,664 --> 00:01:21,248
(Blowing)

4
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:40,434
(Straining)

5
00:02:05,084 --> 00:02:06,919
(Grunts) Ah!

6
00:02:08,129 --> 00:02:10,089
(Panting)

7
00:02:11,757 --> 00:02:14,260
(Horse neighs) (Horse galloping)

8
00:02:15,219 --> 00:02:16,387
Your grace.

9
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:17,722
I have news.

10
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:19,199
We know where the northmen are.

11
00:02:19,223 --> 00:02:20,266
They're at York.

12
00:02:20,474 --> 00:02:22,309
They captured the town
with great slaughter.

13
00:02:23,102 --> 00:02:25,271
They murdered bishop cynebert
most horribly.

14
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:33,654
Then we know what we must do
to them in return.

15
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:37,491
(Horse nickers)

16
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,037
(Hammering on metal)

17
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,455
(Indistinct chatter)

18
00:02:53,716 --> 00:02:55,676
(Door creaks)

19
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:57,094
(Breath es heavily)

20
00:03:03,017 --> 00:03:04,602
You have confessed your guilt.

21
00:03:05,436 --> 00:03:06,520
Yes.

22
00:03:06,979 --> 00:03:08,355
So that all could hear.

23
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:12,026
Then tell me why
I should not kill you.

24
00:03:14,779 --> 00:03:16,489
You have no reason to kill me.

25
00:03:18,908 --> 00:03:19,909
No reason?

26
00:03:23,329 --> 00:03:26,373
Do I not have half a reason?

27
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:35,132
Everything has changed.

28
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:38,177
I did what I did
because of a woman.

29
00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:43,641
She refused to marry me unless
I became king of all Norway.

30
00:03:43,808 --> 00:03:45,059
(Ladle dropping in bucket)

31
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,645
So that was my idea.

32
00:03:47,937 --> 00:03:49,730
That was my passion.

33
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:51,732
(Chuckles softly)

34
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:54,902
I loved her, you see.

35
00:03:56,695 --> 00:03:58,364
I tried to take your kingdom.

36
00:03:58,572 --> 00:03:59,907
I had nothing against you.

37
00:04:00,783 --> 00:04:02,451
It was just to be worthy of her.

38
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:04,370
Then why has everything changed?

39
00:04:05,121 --> 00:04:06,831
Because she lied to me.

40
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:11,710
She couldn't wait for me
to become king of Norway.

41
00:04:11,794 --> 00:04:14,588
She married
a Danish Earl instead.

42
00:04:15,256 --> 00:04:16,423
And what did you do?

43
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:19,426
I killed her.

44
00:04:21,137 --> 00:04:23,013
And now that she is dead,

45
00:04:23,097 --> 00:04:28,352
inolongerhave any
intentions to attack kattegat

46
00:04:29,186 --> 00:04:32,022
or try to remove you
as its ruler.

47
00:04:33,816 --> 00:04:34,859
(Sparks)

48
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:38,154
People do things for love...

49
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,448
Don't they, queen lagertha?

50
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:46,495
So then,
what are your intentions?

51
00:04:47,246 --> 00:04:50,166
I want to offer you
my friendship and alliance.

52
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:51,792
Look at you.

53
00:04:52,501 --> 00:04:54,688
Do you think you are in a
position to offer me anything?

54
00:04:54,712 --> 00:04:56,213
I'm still a king!

55
00:04:57,506 --> 00:05:00,092
With lordship over
many kingdoms.

56
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:02,761
And I am queen!

57
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:03,846
Indeed.

58
00:05:04,597 --> 00:05:07,892
And I know, above all people,

59
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:14,440
how vulnerable kattegat and
its beautiful queen has become.

60
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,485
After all, your son
might be away for a long time.

61
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:22,698
And how much do you trust
the other sons of ragnar?

62
00:05:23,282 --> 00:05:27,578
Do they still not desire
vengeance for their mother's death?

63
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:30,748
Or imagine themselves
as kings here?

64
00:05:32,374 --> 00:05:35,836
And what would you want
in return for this alliance?

65
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:39,840
You have no man in your life,
and I no woman.

66
00:05:41,717 --> 00:05:45,054
Perhaps that's one answer
to your question.

67
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:53,562
Do you really think,
"king" Harald,

68
00:05:53,646 --> 00:05:57,232
that I would prostrate myself
at your feet,

69
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:01,528
and offer thanks to the gods that
you would deign to be my husband?

70
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:03,405
(Breathing heavily)

71
00:06:03,656 --> 00:06:06,325
And that I should be grateful

72
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:10,037
for you that you would offer
to come to my bed?

73
00:06:11,163 --> 00:06:13,749
In all your glory?

74
00:06:20,381 --> 00:06:21,382
(Grunts)

75
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:23,842
(Grunts)

76
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:25,427
(Breathing heavily)

77
00:06:26,679 --> 00:06:27,680
(Grunts)

78
00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:30,474
What...

79
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:33,352
What are you doing, woman?

80
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:39,566
(Harald panting)

81
00:06:41,110 --> 00:06:42,111
(Grunts)

82
00:06:45,489 --> 00:06:46,573
(Harald grunts)

83
00:06:48,117 --> 00:06:49,910
(Chain clanking)

84
00:06:56,709 --> 00:06:58,961
(Harald breathing heavily)

85
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:04,133
(Panting)

86
00:07:06,343 --> 00:07:08,512
(Both breathing heavily)

87
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:15,060
(Screaming)

88
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:30,784
(Breathing heavily)

89
00:07:33,537 --> 00:07:34,538
(Spits)

90
00:07:41,003 --> 00:07:42,755
(Men shouting indistinctly)

91
00:07:44,256 --> 00:07:46,258
(Indistinct chattering)

92
00:07:55,017 --> 00:07:56,101
Let us through.

93
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:00,898
Do you know who we are?

94
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:04,526
We know who you are.

95
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:07,571
What do you want?

96
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:09,215
I want to speak
to my brother ivar.

97
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:10,407
Now, get out of my way.

98
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:12,451
I'll ask him and see
if it's all right.

99
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:15,120
No, you won't.

100
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:18,457
Because you will not have
a tongue to ask him with.

101
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:21,668
I will nail you to that post
just over there.

102
00:08:23,587 --> 00:08:24,755
Do you understand?

103
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,105
(Tapping)

104
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:44,233
(Exhales)

105
00:08:45,818 --> 00:08:47,528
Ubbe! Hvitserk!

106
00:08:47,611 --> 00:08:49,321
(Tapping)

107
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:51,698
Did you take a look around?

108
00:08:52,449 --> 00:08:54,701
The work on strengthening
the defenses is going well.

109
00:08:54,785 --> 00:08:57,287
Why do you need
a personal bodyguard, ivar?

110
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:58,455
What?

111
00:08:58,789 --> 00:09:00,100
We were just stopped
by your bodyguards.

112
00:09:00,124 --> 00:09:01,125
Why do you need them?

113
00:09:01,792 --> 00:09:03,836
Hmm? Do you need
protection against us?

114
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:05,045
Against your brothers?

115
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:06,797
Of course not.

116
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:08,340
Then why have them?

117
00:09:09,133 --> 00:09:10,384
I'm a cripple.

118
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:11,468
I need a bodyguard.

119
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,972
It's not just the bodyguard,
ivar.

120
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:18,767
The fact is, you never seem
to consult us about anything.

121
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:22,855
It's as if you think you are now
the leader of our great army.

122
00:09:22,938 --> 00:09:24,481
(Tapping continues)

123
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:26,441
(Tapping stops)

124
00:09:30,112 --> 00:09:31,446
Do you think you are the leader?

125
00:09:32,281 --> 00:09:33,407
No, I don't.

126
00:09:34,158 --> 00:09:36,201
Why would I ever think
such a thing?

127
00:09:36,702 --> 00:09:39,454
I'm glad to hear you say that
because you are not theleader

128
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:42,457
we three brothers
are the leaders together.

129
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,543
Mmm. As our father
would have wished.

130
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:46,170
We are older than you, ivar.

131
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:47,588
You can't push us aside.

132
00:09:47,671 --> 00:09:48,672
It's unacceptable.

133
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:52,301
No, you're right, hvitserk.

134
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,946
But you two have to understand

135
00:09:54,970 --> 00:09:59,391
that it is harder for me to
share and to stake my claim.

136
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,186
I truly want to be your equal

137
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:05,439
but in order for me to do so,
I have to do better than you.

138
00:10:06,732 --> 00:10:10,527
I have to make you forget
that I'm a cripple.

139
00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:13,322
Listen, ivar,
we know what you are.

140
00:10:13,989 --> 00:10:15,407
And we accept what you are.

141
00:10:16,158 --> 00:10:18,160
Huh.
It makes no difference to us.

142
00:10:18,911 --> 00:10:20,037
You are just our brother.

143
00:10:20,245 --> 00:10:22,706
Hvitserk: Don't try to make
us feel sorry for you.

144
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:25,000
Because, my brother,
we never will.

145
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:31,423
There's a large Saxon force
on its way here.

146
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:39,618
But I thought
you'd already know that.

147
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:54,988
(Tapping)

148
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:13,715
Well?

149
00:11:13,882 --> 00:11:15,092
He explained himself.

150
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:17,594
He explained why he tried
to kill all of us?

151
00:11:18,804 --> 00:11:19,805
He was in love.

152
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:24,601
In any case,
he's not in love anymore.

153
00:11:27,104 --> 00:11:28,647
He wants to make a deal with us.

154
00:11:28,981 --> 00:11:31,483
So you told him we do not make
deals with murderers.

155
00:11:32,484 --> 00:11:34,611
I told him it depends
on the offer.

156
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:36,154
What is he offering?

157
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:38,031
Alliance.

158
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,034
Protection.

159
00:11:41,243 --> 00:11:42,536
In return for...

160
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:44,871
Marriage.

161
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:46,123
(Chuckles softly)

162
00:11:46,999 --> 00:11:48,583
That's it? (Chuckles)

163
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:50,585
Surely you can't entertain that?

164
00:11:50,669 --> 00:11:51,789
Doesn't he know who you are?

165
00:11:51,837 --> 00:11:53,588
Of course he does,
that's the point.

166
00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:55,733
I would never let a man like
that get anywhere near me!

167
00:11:55,757 --> 00:11:57,050
You can't be so pure.

168
00:11:57,342 --> 00:12:00,804
Sometimes women have to do what women
have to do, just to keep a bit of power.

169
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:02,097
That is what you say.

170
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:04,975
There is an element of truth
in what torvi says.

171
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,768
In any case,

172
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,479
I've no intention
of marrying him.

173
00:12:09,771 --> 00:12:10,939
Then you will kill him?

174
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:13,275
That's none of your business.

175
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:14,359
You can't set him free!

176
00:12:14,443 --> 00:12:16,163
Whatever I decide
is nothing to do with you.

177
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:18,822
I was only thinking of you.
Thank you.

178
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:20,615
But I can think for myself.

179
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:28,957
(Music playing)

180
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:54,816
(Muffled screams)

181
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:58,862
(Muffled screaming continues)

182
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:08,246
(Muffled screaming)

183
00:13:13,168 --> 00:13:16,713
(Muffled screaming continues)

184
00:13:22,928 --> 00:13:24,554
(Muffled screaming)

185
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,433
Shh.

186
00:13:28,934 --> 00:13:31,186
(Muffled screaming continues)

187
00:13:32,771 --> 00:13:33,897
Row.

188
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:49,412
(Horn blowing)

189
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:53,458
(Horn continues blowing)

190
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:55,085
Man: Get to the boats!

191
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:57,754
They've gone! Who has gone?

192
00:13:58,004 --> 00:13:59,381
King Harald and his men.

193
00:13:59,464 --> 00:14:01,508
Their boats have gone.
They freed him

194
00:14:01,591 --> 00:14:02,884
and killed some of the guards.

195
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:05,470
Where is Astrid?

196
00:14:06,263 --> 00:14:07,305
Astrid?

197
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,059
Man: Hold the rampart!

198
00:14:11,143 --> 00:14:12,936
(Music playing)

199
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:23,488
Man 1: Row!

200
00:14:23,572 --> 00:14:24,990
Man 2: No slowing down now!

201
00:14:25,073 --> 00:14:26,283
Man 3: Heave!

202
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:32,998
Man: Pull! Pull!

203
00:14:43,925 --> 00:14:45,135
Man: Go faster!

204
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:47,554
(Spits)

205
00:14:52,642 --> 00:14:53,810
Why kidnap me?

206
00:14:55,604 --> 00:14:57,397
Oh, you can help me
a great deal.

207
00:14:58,648 --> 00:15:05,614
You see, I think lagertha's years
are numbered as queen of kattegat.

208
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:10,660
And I still have ambitions
to rule there.

209
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:12,954
Man: Pull!

210
00:15:13,038 --> 00:15:17,834
I still intend to become
king of all Norway.

211
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:23,340
Which means I shall take over
kattegat, among other kingdoms.

212
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:26,301
But I remain unmarried.

213
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:28,845
I need a queen.

214
00:15:29,304 --> 00:15:32,307
I need to breed
and produce sons.

215
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:35,685
(Laughs) You want me
to be your queen?

216
00:15:37,646 --> 00:15:38,855
(Chuckles) Why not?

217
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:41,149
You have to understand.

218
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:42,901
Lagertha has been so good to me.

219
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:44,778
I owe her everything.

220
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:49,491
Then there is no way that you
will ever agree to marry me?

221
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:54,704
Even if it means you will
become queen of Norway?

222
00:15:55,664 --> 00:15:58,541
The most powerful woman
in the whole country?

223
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:03,255
Tell me honestly, Astrid,

224
00:16:04,506 --> 00:16:07,008
doesn't that appeal to you
at all?

225
00:16:07,968 --> 00:16:13,139
Doesn't that make your blood
race just a little quicker?

226
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:16,309
Don't your eyes shine
just a little brighter?

227
00:16:18,561 --> 00:16:20,438
Or have I misjudged you?

228
00:16:23,942 --> 00:16:25,360
Man: Pass it down here and pull.

229
00:16:30,073 --> 00:16:31,283
Heave!

230
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:40,000
(Men shouting indistinctly)

231
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,167
(Horse nickering)

232
00:16:44,296 --> 00:16:46,298
Well? What have you to report?

233
00:16:46,756 --> 00:16:47,966
The northmen have been busy

234
00:16:48,049 --> 00:16:50,343
repairing and improving the
town's defenses, your grace.

235
00:16:51,094 --> 00:16:52,679
They are an industrious people.

236
00:16:52,762 --> 00:16:54,806
They are pagans and devils.
Nothing more. Go on.

237
00:16:55,307 --> 00:16:56,474
The town is well defended.

238
00:16:57,142 --> 00:16:59,894
Begging your pardon, but your
grace may not yet be strong enough

239
00:16:59,978 --> 00:17:02,314
to attack her.
Not with any hope of success.

240
00:17:03,648 --> 00:17:04,649
I disagree.

241
00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:07,277
I have every hope of success.

242
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:09,654
It is a pity the new king
is not here with us.

243
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:13,033
His presence in the field
might encourage new recruits.

244
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,703
Unlike his father, he has
some credit as a warrior.

245
00:17:21,333 --> 00:17:22,876
(Man shouting indistinctly)

246
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:27,839
(Music playing)

247
00:17:38,183 --> 00:17:39,684
(Wind whistling)

248
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:49,277
What will we do about Alfred?

249
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:56,701
Why must we always talk
about Alfred?

250
00:18:00,372 --> 00:18:03,249
Because he's dying, aethelwulf.

251
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:06,086
He's dying before your eyes.

252
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:09,506
Can't you see?

253
00:18:11,299 --> 00:18:13,176
(Wind whistling)

254
00:18:15,637 --> 00:18:16,846
Alfred?

255
00:18:19,391 --> 00:18:20,558
Alfred?

256
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:23,812
Alfred?

257
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:32,821
Alfred.

258
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:34,906
What's he doing?

259
00:18:36,199 --> 00:18:37,242
Alfred?

260
00:18:39,077 --> 00:18:40,161
Alfred!

261
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:43,706
(Music playing)

262
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:50,231
(Gasping)

263
00:19:53,151 --> 00:19:54,736
(Screaming)

264
00:19:56,779 --> 00:19:57,989
Save him!

265
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:02,869
Alfred?

266
00:20:02,952 --> 00:20:04,162
Save my boy!

267
00:20:11,836 --> 00:20:12,962
Move!

268
00:20:14,172 --> 00:20:15,715
Alfred! My boy! (Grunting)

269
00:20:15,798 --> 00:20:17,008
My life!

270
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:28,186
No. No!

271
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:30,772
Please, please, please, please!

272
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:33,566
(Sobbing) No, please!

273
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:35,193
(Sobbing) My boy! Please!

274
00:20:38,446 --> 00:20:39,489
(Retches)

275
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:43,201
He's alive!

276
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:45,537
He's alive! (Laughing) (Laughs)

277
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:49,499
(Coughing)

278
00:20:53,002 --> 00:20:54,712
Shh, shh! He's trying to talk.

279
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:55,880
Alfred: York.

280
00:20:57,215 --> 00:20:59,717
We must... we must go to York.

281
00:20:59,968 --> 00:21:01,302
Why must we go to York?

282
00:21:02,554 --> 00:21:04,847
(Gasping)

283
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:06,474
The northmen are there.

284
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:08,851
The northmen.

285
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:11,646
And your...

286
00:21:11,729 --> 00:21:13,022
Your people need you.

287
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:19,988
Alfred, how... how do you know?

288
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:23,491
My father told me.

289
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:43,261
(Exhales)

290
00:21:45,597 --> 00:21:47,265
(Cawing)

291
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:50,226
(Laughs)

292
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,771
(Laughing) Oh, you gods.

293
00:21:53,938 --> 00:21:58,192
(Sobbing and laughing)

294
00:21:58,276 --> 00:21:59,652
Not like this.

295
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:01,904
(Sniffles)

296
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,198
I don't want to die like this.

297
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,537
Why have you abandoned me?

298
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:18,087
Heimdall, watchman,

299
00:22:20,298 --> 00:22:22,133
you can vouch for me!

300
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,137
Tell the other gods
how often I think of them,

301
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,807
and how my heart
belongs to them.

302
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:31,809
(Sobs)

303
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:40,401
(Crow cawing)

304
00:22:45,323 --> 00:22:46,699
(Cawing)

305
00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:48,493
Be gone, bird.

306
00:22:49,661 --> 00:22:52,121
Find a perch of land
and stay there.

307
00:22:53,665 --> 00:22:55,166
Don't come back.

308
00:22:56,501 --> 00:22:57,835
Don't come back!

309
00:22:58,086 --> 00:23:00,838
(Crow cawing)

310
00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:04,258
(Music playing)
Soldier: Hold your line!

311
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:08,179
(Men shouting indistinctly)
(Horse neighs)

312
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:10,682
Come on, men! Push, push!

313
00:23:12,684 --> 00:23:14,018
Soldier: Come on!

314
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,023
(Men shouting indistinctly)

315
00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:28,700
Soldier: Forward!

316
00:23:29,492 --> 00:23:32,036
Keep going! Push!

317
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:35,707
One more!

318
00:23:36,165 --> 00:23:38,084
(Men straining)

319
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:47,885
(Seabirds screeching)

320
00:23:48,010 --> 00:23:49,730
Torvi: Why do you think
he kidnapped Astrid?

321
00:23:50,430 --> 00:23:53,891
I don't think king Harald ever
does anything without thought.

322
00:23:54,725 --> 00:23:57,061
He told me that he had
abandoned his dreams

323
00:23:57,145 --> 00:23:58,396
of becoming king of all Norway.

324
00:23:59,063 --> 00:24:00,898
I am sure he was lying.

325
00:24:01,691 --> 00:24:03,901
He still believes in his dreams,

326
00:24:04,902 --> 00:24:09,031
and, one day, his ships will
return to kattegat full of warriors.

327
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:11,200
Astrid must be part
of his plan. But...

328
00:24:12,076 --> 00:24:13,578
What part, I cannot say.

329
00:24:13,744 --> 00:24:16,456
Astrid will never be part
of someone else's plan.

330
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:21,961
I am old enough to know
that you can never say for sure

331
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:23,754
what someone else will do.

332
00:24:25,756 --> 00:24:27,467
Man: That's it. Row!

333
00:24:30,761 --> 00:24:32,096
I can smell home!

334
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:34,223
Man: Keep rowing!

335
00:24:43,107 --> 00:24:44,567
Man: Keep the distance!

336
00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:46,986
(Munching)

337
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:49,071
Not long now.

338
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:54,410
Man: Keep it going, men!

339
00:24:54,494 --> 00:24:55,495
(Sighs)

340
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:01,709
Man: Tie it fast!

341
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,669
Have you thought any more
about what I said?

342
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:10,968
I'm sure you don't like
the look of me

343
00:25:12,428 --> 00:25:13,489
but you will change your mind.

344
00:25:13,513 --> 00:25:15,890
I will never marry you.

345
00:25:16,516 --> 00:25:18,267
You have made a big mistake.

346
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:20,520
Oh, it's true.

347
00:25:21,145 --> 00:25:22,563
I've never had any luck
with women.

348
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:23,832
So why should
you be any different?

349
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:25,942
I think you've kidnapped
the wrong woman.

350
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:30,863
You are right, of course.

351
00:25:30,947 --> 00:25:32,657
That is what I did.

352
00:25:33,991 --> 00:25:35,117
And yet...

353
00:25:35,368 --> 00:25:40,122
What if, by mistake,
by accident, by the gods,

354
00:25:41,249 --> 00:25:44,210
and by fate,
I made the right decision?

355
00:25:44,627 --> 00:25:46,462
What if you were always meant
to be here?

356
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:51,008
What if there was no place
else for you to be?

357
00:25:56,347 --> 00:25:57,390
Man: Row!

358
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,644
Row!

359
00:26:12,196 --> 00:26:14,824
(Singing in native tongue)

360
00:26:42,643 --> 00:26:43,811
(Horse nickers)

361
00:26:51,444 --> 00:26:52,612
Halt!

362
00:26:54,196 --> 00:26:55,197
(Horse neighs)

363
00:26:55,489 --> 00:26:56,699
Dismount!

364
00:27:00,745 --> 00:27:01,787
Who are you?

365
00:27:01,871 --> 00:27:03,998
We are men of wessex.
We are here with our king.

366
00:27:04,081 --> 00:27:06,709
With your king?
Do you mean king aethelwulf?

367
00:27:06,876 --> 00:27:07,960
Son of ecbert?

368
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:10,463
He and his men are following
close behind.

369
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:13,591
I am a companion of his grace
bishop heahmund,

370
00:27:13,883 --> 00:27:15,593
who is camped
not very far from here.

371
00:27:15,843 --> 00:27:17,511
My name is lord denewulf.

372
00:27:17,595 --> 00:27:19,096
Then well met, my lord.

373
00:27:20,181 --> 00:27:21,599
Well met, indeed.

374
00:27:21,682 --> 00:27:23,017
This is a happy day.

375
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,645
My lord bishop was anxious
for the king to be at his side.

376
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:29,649
And now, thank god,
it has come to pass.

377
00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:32,568
(Music playing)

378
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:34,320
(Horses nickering)

379
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:47,833
(Horse neighs)

380
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:01,889
Man: Help me out.

381
00:28:02,139 --> 00:28:03,474
Make room for their horses.

382
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:06,352
Most noble king,

383
00:28:07,645 --> 00:28:08,813
by god's grace.

384
00:28:13,526 --> 00:28:14,985
My lord bishop.

385
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:19,365
We've heard many reports
of your prowess with arms,

386
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,701
and of your personal sanctity.

387
00:28:22,618 --> 00:28:24,495
We mean to model our lives
upon yours.

388
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:26,706
My wife, Judith.

389
00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:28,499
Man: No, this way.

390
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:30,209
Noble lady.

391
00:28:30,835 --> 00:28:31,919
Come!

392
00:28:32,002 --> 00:28:33,796
Refresh yourself
after your long journey,

393
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:35,381
and eat.

394
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:37,591
Man: Make way for the carts!

395
00:28:37,675 --> 00:28:39,135
What courage you have, my lady,

396
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,345
to accompany your husband here.

397
00:28:42,263 --> 00:28:44,432
I'm not so brave,
bishop heahmund.

398
00:28:45,391 --> 00:28:48,978
But as my husband and my sons
elect to be on the field of battle,

399
00:28:49,061 --> 00:28:50,396
then what should I do?

400
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:52,523
Stay at home
and weep and pray? (Chuckles)

401
00:28:53,274 --> 00:28:55,025
In any case,
as the daughter of king aelle,

402
00:28:55,109 --> 00:28:58,988
I too have a score to settle
with these sons of ragnar.

403
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:00,906
I confess...

404
00:29:01,657 --> 00:29:05,286
I'd forgotten that you'd suffered as
much personal grief and loss as the king

405
00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:07,580
and stand as much
in need of justice as he does.

406
00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:11,375
In the name of god, who is
both vengeful and merciful,

407
00:29:11,709 --> 00:29:13,419
I swear I will make
these pagans pay

408
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,005
for their cruelty
and their crimes.

409
00:29:16,172 --> 00:29:17,673
Man: There's plenty
to go 'round!

410
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:20,801
(Indistinct conversations)

411
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,182
(Horse neighing)

412
00:29:27,308 --> 00:29:28,392
Prince Alfred?

413
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:30,561
Yes, my lord. Forgive me.

414
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:32,855
I have heard stories
about you already.

415
00:29:33,272 --> 00:29:36,275
How you traveled to Rome
as a boy, and met his holiness.

416
00:29:36,358 --> 00:29:38,235
Yes. My father took me.

417
00:29:38,736 --> 00:29:41,363
It must have been an arduous
journey for one so young?

418
00:29:41,739 --> 00:29:45,868
Well, is anything truly worthwhile not
likely to be difficult, my lord bishop?

419
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,036
Well said.

420
00:29:47,328 --> 00:29:48,537
Who was your tutor?

421
00:29:48,829 --> 00:29:51,040
My grandfather, king ecbert.

422
00:29:51,624 --> 00:29:53,542
He was the wisest man
I ever knew,

423
00:29:54,126 --> 00:29:55,211
and the most loving.

424
00:29:55,503 --> 00:29:57,588
The barbarians
who now occupy York

425
00:29:57,838 --> 00:29:59,548
are responsible for his death.

426
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:01,884
That's why we are here.

427
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:08,015
The northmen have been
reinforcing the defenses of the town.

428
00:30:09,558 --> 00:30:12,728
They have repaired
and extended the ramparts.

429
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:13,979
That is bad news.

430
00:30:14,522 --> 00:30:15,731
I thought so too.

431
00:30:17,441 --> 00:30:19,902
That is, until my scouts
reported something interesting.

432
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:24,532
Apparently, they have felt
unable or unwilling

433
00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:27,076
to repair the old Roman walls
that are still standing.

434
00:30:27,451 --> 00:30:29,870
In fact, in several places,
the walls are crumbling.

435
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:33,290
The stones are loosened
and likely to fall.

436
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:36,919
Even so, they remain unguarded

437
00:30:37,461 --> 00:30:38,462
and unprotected.

438
00:30:39,672 --> 00:30:41,257
Then we have a plan of attack.

439
00:30:42,091 --> 00:30:43,259
We do.

440
00:30:43,884 --> 00:30:45,094
With your permission,

441
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:47,846
we should wait,

442
00:30:49,265 --> 00:30:50,307
notrush.

443
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:52,434
Let our armies be combined.

444
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,979
Let my scouts determine
with absolute certainty

445
00:30:55,062 --> 00:30:58,899
that those sections of wall
remain unguarded and unprotected.

446
00:30:59,441 --> 00:31:04,196
Yes, and I can contact my father's
earldormen and ask them to join us.

447
00:31:04,530 --> 00:31:05,781
And when all that is done?

448
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:07,491
Yes, my prince.

449
00:31:08,075 --> 00:31:10,869
When all that is done,
we shall attack.

450
00:31:14,498 --> 00:31:15,708
Scouts!

451
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:17,519
(Grunts)

452
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,344
(Waves crashing)

453
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:00,854
(Wind howling)

454
00:33:32,553 --> 00:33:33,637
(Gasps)

455
00:33:33,721 --> 00:33:36,432
(Slurping)

456
00:33:40,561 --> 00:33:42,730
(Continues slurping)

457
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:48,527
(Gasps)

458
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:53,532
(Exhales)

459
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,244
(Crow cawing)

460
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:03,375
(Crow continues cawing)

461
00:34:07,421 --> 00:34:08,839
(Caws)

462
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:23,145
(Breathing heavily)

463
00:34:43,207 --> 00:34:44,291
(Shivering)

464
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,502
(Seabirds calling)

465
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:52,299
(Shivering)

466
00:35:06,021 --> 00:35:07,022
(Grunts)

467
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:09,441
(Shivering)

468
00:35:14,196 --> 00:35:15,739
(Fire crackling)

469
00:35:21,995 --> 00:35:24,039
(Music playing)

470
00:35:36,927 --> 00:35:38,804
(Panting)

471
00:35:52,276 --> 00:35:54,069
(Wind howling)

472
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:34,985
(Grunting)

473
00:36:56,590 --> 00:36:59,843
(Breathing heavily)

474
00:37:04,598 --> 00:37:06,433
(Wind howling)

475
00:37:21,365 --> 00:37:23,367
(Music playing)

476
00:38:09,788 --> 00:38:11,456
(In native tongue)

477
00:38:25,762 --> 00:38:27,389
(Both grunting)

478
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,975
Man: Bring up the shield!

479
00:38:30,058 --> 00:38:31,935
(Both grunting)

480
00:38:32,227 --> 00:38:34,646
(Indistinct conversations)

481
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:42,195
What do you think
about lagertha's mistake?

482
00:38:43,613 --> 00:38:44,990
What do you mean "mistake"?

483
00:38:45,991 --> 00:38:48,785
She ought to have killed king
Harald when she had the chance.

484
00:38:49,411 --> 00:38:50,829
Instead of just talking to him.

485
00:38:51,121 --> 00:38:52,205
Perhaps.

486
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:56,418
Not allowed her enemy,
our enemy, to escape.

487
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:58,795
And she sacrificed
the life of Astrid.

488
00:38:58,879 --> 00:39:00,255
We don't know that.

489
00:39:02,549 --> 00:39:05,927
Listen, all I'm saying
is that lagertha is fallible.

490
00:39:06,887 --> 00:39:08,263
She makes mistakes.

491
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:12,392
Maybe her grip of power is not as
fierce or complete as it once was.

492
00:39:13,018 --> 00:39:14,227
Can't you see that?

493
00:39:14,978 --> 00:39:16,646
(Men shouting indistinctly)

494
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:36,750
(Music playing)

495
00:39:46,092 --> 00:39:47,427
(Grunts)

496
00:39:48,094 --> 00:39:49,095
(Exhales)

497
00:39:49,846 --> 00:39:52,057
(Breathing heavily)

498
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:06,446
(Music playing)

499
00:41:00,083 --> 00:41:01,751
(In native tongue)

500
00:41:07,841 --> 00:41:10,302
(Laughing)

501
00:41:14,723 --> 00:41:17,058
(Continues laughing)

502
00:41:22,856 --> 00:41:24,733
(Indistinct conversations)

503
00:41:26,026 --> 00:41:27,027
(Ivar screams)

504
00:41:29,237 --> 00:41:31,615
(Ivar straining)

505
00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:32,949
Ivar?

506
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:34,451
(Straining)

507
00:41:35,619 --> 00:41:37,162
Ah, what are you doing?

508
00:41:37,537 --> 00:41:40,081
Wait and I'll show you.

509
00:41:45,045 --> 00:41:46,046
Man: Ready.

510
00:41:49,549 --> 00:41:51,635
(Hammering on metal)

511
00:41:52,052 --> 00:41:53,053
(Grunts)

512
00:41:54,346 --> 00:41:56,222
(Hammering continues)

513
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,402
(Music playing)

514
00:42:14,324 --> 00:42:15,575
(Straining)

515
00:42:19,954 --> 00:42:21,539
(Hammering)

516
00:42:38,807 --> 00:42:40,809
(Music playing)

517
00:43:18,388 --> 00:43:20,390
(Music playing)
