1
00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:04,005
(If I had a heart playing)

2
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:55,765
(Indistinct shouting)

3
00:01:07,026 --> 00:01:08,027
Bjorn.

4
00:01:10,696 --> 00:01:11,739
Bjorn. Wake up!

5
00:01:16,827 --> 00:01:17,995
(Groans)

6
00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:24,460
Viking 1: Hold your line!
Viking 2: More tight.

7
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:33,511
The pillars of Hercules!

8
00:01:34,345 --> 00:01:35,721
Viking 1: There to starboard.

9
00:01:36,222 --> 00:01:37,223
What?

10
00:01:37,515 --> 00:01:38,724
Those mountains.

11
00:01:39,392 --> 00:01:42,061
Known to the ancients
as the pillars of Hercules.

12
00:01:42,812 --> 00:01:44,981
But, to our purpose,
more importantly,

13
00:01:45,314 --> 00:01:48,109
they Mark the entrance
to the mediterranean sea.

14
00:01:49,986 --> 00:01:52,780
How fortunate I was
to run into you, sinric.

15
00:01:58,911 --> 00:02:00,204
Halfdan: What are you thinking?

16
00:02:01,497 --> 00:02:04,250
How lucky we are the gods
gave us this opportunity.

17
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:09,839
For what lies ahead are new
cities, worlds, people, and places.

18
00:02:11,465 --> 00:02:13,843
Ah, my father would have
relished this opportunity.

19
00:02:15,678 --> 00:02:18,180
I would still urge caution
about these lands and peoples.

20
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,141
They will not know who you are,

21
00:02:20,933 --> 00:02:24,311
and you in turn don't know how
strong anyone is in this new world.

22
00:02:28,566 --> 00:02:30,067
I want to go to Rome.

23
00:02:31,402 --> 00:02:33,112
Rome is at the center
of the map.

24
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:35,156
Rome is the center
of the new world.

25
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:36,991
Not anymore, bjorn Ironside.

26
00:02:38,451 --> 00:02:40,953
Since this map was drawn,
the whole world has changed.

27
00:02:41,245 --> 00:02:43,080
The Roman empire is no more.

28
00:02:43,164 --> 00:02:44,665
Its power is mostly gone.

29
00:02:44,999 --> 00:02:47,626
What's left is just a sad
shadow of its former glory.

30
00:02:49,295 --> 00:02:51,005
Then if not Rome, then where?

31
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:53,716
There is an island,
not so far away.

32
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:55,760
It's an interesting place.

33
00:02:58,137 --> 00:03:01,223
And what do they call
this interesting island?

34
00:03:03,517 --> 00:03:04,810
Sicily.

35
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:10,483
(Music playing)

36
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:11,734
(Gulls squawking)

37
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:20,785
(Rooster crowing)
(Indistinct chattering)

38
00:03:25,081 --> 00:03:26,123
(Goat bleating)

39
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:29,335
(Hammer striking)

40
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,067
Aethelwulf: Even though we saw
some of their armies leave,

41
00:03:35,091 --> 00:03:37,676
we cannot be sure
that they are much weakened.

42
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,178
And after all, Alfred,

43
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:41,847
it is our armies which
suffered terrible defeat and loss.

44
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:43,867
So, in truth,
we cannot think of attacking

45
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,476
and trying to reclaim the town.

46
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:47,311
I agree.

47
00:03:47,686 --> 00:03:49,647
That is why I wonder
if it was wise of you

48
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:50,981
to dismiss their peacekeepers.

49
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:53,109
They didn't come here
to make peace.

50
00:03:53,776 --> 00:03:55,016
They came here to make trouble.

51
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:58,155
You cannot trust them.
They are heathens.

52
00:03:58,489 --> 00:04:00,407
Well, then, we must retreat.

53
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:01,992
Return to wessex.

54
00:04:02,201 --> 00:04:05,579
Raise another army and leave
them, for now, in possession of York.

55
00:04:05,663 --> 00:04:07,915
I disagree. (Horse nickers)

56
00:04:07,998 --> 00:04:09,083
We have no choice.

57
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:10,292
On the contrary.

58
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:12,837
I don't understand.

59
00:04:13,838 --> 00:04:15,005
I had a vision.

60
00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:18,425
I saw the two witnesses
who are the prophets

61
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:20,136
standing before
the god of the earth.

62
00:04:21,011 --> 00:04:22,805
And if any man should harm them,

63
00:04:23,514 --> 00:04:26,183
fire would proceed from their
mouths and devour their enemies,

64
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:30,062
and if any man should
harm them, he must be killed.

65
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,567
You speak in riddles,
bishop heahmund.

66
00:04:35,359 --> 00:04:36,819
What I saw was real.

67
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,657
I saw all the dead bodies of the wicked
lying in the street of the great city,

68
00:04:42,158 --> 00:04:43,868
for there was no one left
to Bury them.

69
00:04:44,702 --> 00:04:47,121
And I saw that this great city

70
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:52,585
was York, and all those dead
bodies were of pagan northmen.

71
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,379
They died because they starved.

72
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:58,966
They died because
they had nothing to eat

73
00:04:59,216 --> 00:05:00,467
and nothing to drink

74
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,469
and were walled up
in a great city.

75
00:05:03,429 --> 00:05:04,972
Is that what we should do?

76
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:07,183
Yes.

77
00:05:07,683 --> 00:05:09,226
Close all roads to York.

78
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,769
Blockade all rivers.

79
00:05:11,604 --> 00:05:14,064
Prevent the northmen
from coming and going.

80
00:05:14,607 --> 00:05:17,109
And, in that way, trap them,

81
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,446
starve them,
force them to surrender.

82
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,157
And when they realize our plan,

83
00:05:24,325 --> 00:05:26,035
they might emerge and attack us,

84
00:05:26,327 --> 00:05:28,162
while our forces
are much depleted.

85
00:05:32,374 --> 00:05:33,500
What do you say, father?

86
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:41,800
I say, you go and order our
commanders to close the roads,

87
00:05:42,051 --> 00:05:44,678
the rivers,
passageways that lead to York.

88
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:46,639
We will starve them out.

89
00:05:47,097 --> 00:05:48,098
With god's help.

90
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:50,476
Heahmund: Oh, he will help us,
king aethelwulf.

91
00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:53,229
Be assured of it.

92
00:05:53,938 --> 00:05:55,356
(Horses nickering)

93
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,151
(Patting horse)

94
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:02,154
(Indistinct shouting)

95
00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:12,039
Margrethe: Ubbe!

96
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:13,582
(Indistinct chatter)

97
00:06:13,666 --> 00:06:14,875
Margrethe: Ubbe!

98
00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:17,336
Ubbe!

99
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:28,097
(Giggling)

100
00:06:39,775 --> 00:06:43,028
Lagertha: You're more than ever
welcome back to our hearth, ubbe.

101
00:06:45,114 --> 00:06:46,865
(Chickens clucking in distance)

102
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:59,378
We have all heard of the
successes of our great army,

103
00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:02,798
how you revenged ragnar's death,

104
00:07:03,716 --> 00:07:06,552
overcame both aelle and ecbert.

105
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:08,178
I thank my own son,

106
00:07:08,512 --> 00:07:11,307
but also you
and all the sons of ragnar

107
00:07:11,682 --> 00:07:12,975
for these immortal events.

108
00:07:14,476 --> 00:07:17,187
Then you must have heard of
sigurd's death at the hands of ivar.

109
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,899
And his challenge to bjorn that he
was the leader of the great army.

110
00:07:23,235 --> 00:07:24,653
I want to tell you both,

111
00:07:26,739 --> 00:07:29,074
bjorn Ironside behaved himself
throughoutwith

112
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:31,201
great honor and courage.

113
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:34,038
I love and admire him
as a brother.

114
00:07:35,706 --> 00:07:37,426
Torvi: Thank you
for your words about bjorn.

115
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:40,544
He is a good man. I know that.

116
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:42,963
But ivar is a different story.

117
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:45,924
He tore us apart.

118
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:50,429
As far as I am concerned,
I am now at war with ivar.

119
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:52,431
(Suspenseful music playing)

120
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:57,686
My brother hvitserk,
he has decided with ivar.

121
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,022
So he is now my enemy.

122
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:04,360
(Chair creaking)

123
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:11,825
Let us make a pact.

124
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:15,412
I will support you against
ivar and hvitserk

125
00:08:16,789 --> 00:08:19,375
if you agree to support me
against king Harald.

126
00:08:22,086 --> 00:08:24,963
You see, that would make me
an ally of my mother's killer.

127
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:27,007
Mmm. I know.

128
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:30,844
Your choices
are all difficult, ubbe.

129
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:34,848
But, for the sake
of the good folk of kattegat,

130
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:36,725
can we not be allies?

131
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:45,692
(Cups clink)

132
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:47,236
Skol.

133
00:08:47,903 --> 00:08:48,904
Skol.

134
00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:52,449
(Slurps)

135
00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:56,578
Torvi: I had hoped
that bjorn would return.

136
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:57,746
Mmm.

137
00:08:58,580 --> 00:08:59,873
He will come back.

138
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:01,667
I know he will.

139
00:09:02,918 --> 00:09:05,504
But, until then, don't
put all your trust in ubbe.

140
00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:08,257
Why do you say that?

141
00:09:08,841 --> 00:09:11,718
It's just that, after you,
bjorn should rule kattegat.

142
00:09:12,469 --> 00:09:13,470
(Setting cup down)

143
00:09:13,554 --> 00:09:16,432
Who knows what the gods
have in store for us?

144
00:09:16,515 --> 00:09:18,183
(Margrethe panting)
(Ubbe grunts)

145
00:09:32,156 --> 00:09:34,616
(Margrethe panting)
(Ubbe grunts)

146
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,711
You understand I won't be
sharing you with hvitserk anymore.

147
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:47,796
I'm glad.

148
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:50,090
You're the man I married.

149
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:53,594
You are my husband.

150
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,264
Hvitserk is a traitor. Mmm.

151
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:05,481
I think lagertha
is losing her power.

152
00:10:06,607 --> 00:10:08,108
I think the gods
have deserted her.

153
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:10,152
I have seen it.

154
00:10:10,986 --> 00:10:12,946
I have watched it
happening. (Sighs)

155
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:16,700
Her weakness when she dealtwith
king Harald, her uncertainty.

156
00:10:17,367 --> 00:10:18,494
He tricked her

157
00:10:19,161 --> 00:10:20,662
and made a fool of her.

158
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,791
Truth is, there is only one man

159
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:27,127
who can replace ragnar
as the ruler of kattegat,

160
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:28,879
and that man is not bjorn,

161
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:32,132
since bjorn clearly
has no interest in kattegat.

162
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,969
It's you, ubbe.

163
00:10:38,055 --> 00:10:39,223
And you know it.

164
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:44,269
(Music playing)

165
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:54,321
(Waves crashing)

166
00:10:55,948 --> 00:10:56,949
Bjorn: Sicily.

167
00:10:57,574 --> 00:10:59,660
(Indistinct shouting)
Tell me about it.

168
00:11:00,202 --> 00:11:03,288
Sinric: The ruler is a byzantine
commander called euphemius.

169
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:05,499
He is already legendary.

170
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,127
His ambitions are so limitless

171
00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:12,756
that he attempted to overthrow
the holy Roman emperor.

172
00:11:14,883 --> 00:11:16,593
He failed
and came here to sicily

173
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:21,390
with his ambitions undimmed,
so far as I know.

174
00:11:22,933 --> 00:11:24,434
What is byzantine?

175
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,690
Who is the holy Roman emperor?

176
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:31,733
Michael ii.

177
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:33,485
But don't worry about it.

178
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:35,779
In a few months' time,
he may not be.

179
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:38,490
All things change.

180
00:11:38,991 --> 00:11:42,369
This world is impermanent
and deceiving.

181
00:11:43,287 --> 00:11:45,080
Many things are not
what they seem.

182
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,794
When we go ashore in the
morning, remember we are traders.

183
00:11:53,797 --> 00:11:55,757
Bjorn: We will have
many adventures here

184
00:11:56,758 --> 00:11:58,552
and, if we live,

185
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,056
many stories to tell
at the great hall.

186
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:08,520
If we live.

187
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:12,649
(Speaking native tongue)

188
00:12:13,025 --> 00:12:14,693
(Vikings speaking native tongue)

189
00:12:17,863 --> 00:12:19,489
(Woman speaking native tongue)

190
00:12:25,871 --> 00:12:26,955
Shh. (Crows cawing)

191
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:37,257
(Bow twangs)

192
00:12:37,549 --> 00:12:39,092
(Indistinct chatter)

193
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:43,138
(Grunts)

194
00:12:43,221 --> 00:12:45,724
(Arrows striking) (All grunting)

195
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:47,100
(Grunting)

196
00:12:47,726 --> 00:12:49,102
(Indistinct shouting)

197
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:51,146
(Sword slicing) (Grunts)

198
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:54,024
(Grunting)

199
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:56,068
(Man exclaims) (Woman screams)

200
00:12:58,612 --> 00:12:59,613
(Soldier exclaims)

201
00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:01,016
Soldier: Gather
all their weapons.

202
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:05,118
Well done. That all of them?

203
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:11,708
Looks like
they will go hungry again.

204
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:13,272
Captain: Yes, my lord.
(Horse nickers)

205
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:25,847
So, the hunting party
did not return today.

206
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:27,224
(Chewing)

207
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:29,768
I said, the hunting...

208
00:13:29,851 --> 00:13:31,019
Ivar: I heard what you said.

209
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:34,981
(Slurps)

210
00:13:37,025 --> 00:13:38,610
We are almost out of food.

211
00:13:40,070 --> 00:13:41,390
And there is sickness
in the town.

212
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,657
What are we going to do?

213
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:44,908
We have to do something.

214
00:13:45,409 --> 00:13:47,452
The saxons
are in their own country.

215
00:13:47,536 --> 00:13:49,371
They can be reinforced
and grow stronger

216
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,289
while every day
we just grow weaker...

217
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:53,583
What are you really saying,
huh, brother?

218
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:56,294
That I was wrong not to
negotiate with the saxons

219
00:13:56,378 --> 00:13:57,671
and that ubbe was right?

220
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:00,173
No. (Owl hooting in distance)

221
00:14:00,674 --> 00:14:02,592
No? Are you sure?

222
00:14:04,428 --> 00:14:05,595
Ubbe was wrong.

223
00:14:06,054 --> 00:14:07,722
That's why
I didn't sail with him.

224
00:14:08,223 --> 00:14:09,599
But now you regret it?

225
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:11,560
I just told you, no.

226
00:14:14,146 --> 00:14:17,023
Ubbe treated me
like his little faithful dog.

227
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:24,030
I am no one's dog, ivar.

228
00:14:31,872 --> 00:14:32,998
Woof, woof.

229
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:35,792
(Men chuckling)

230
00:14:36,793 --> 00:14:38,920
(Snickering) (Men laughing)

231
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,222
(Laughter continues)

232
00:14:58,857 --> 00:15:01,151
Margrethe: Astrid was
spirited away from here.

233
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:02,986
There was nothing
lagertha could do.

234
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,488
She was powerless.

235
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:07,157
Isn't that more proof? Proof?

236
00:15:07,616 --> 00:15:08,968
That the gods
have turned against her.

237
00:15:08,992 --> 00:15:10,535
How can you say that?

238
00:15:10,952 --> 00:15:12,704
You're talking about lagertha.

239
00:15:13,622 --> 00:15:14,915
And you were just a slave.

240
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:16,666
I am not a slave now,

241
00:15:17,292 --> 00:15:19,044
and, in my head, I never was.

242
00:15:19,794 --> 00:15:23,298
We are equal to lagertha, torvi,
you and me. We are all equal.

243
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:24,466
You are right, margrethe.

244
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,928
We are all equal.

245
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:30,096
I didn't know
you were listening.

246
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:34,267
What does it matter?
If I wasn't listening,

247
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:37,687
then the gods were listening.
It's all the same.

248
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:41,024
I have no feelings
for you either way.

249
00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:45,111
I could kill you
for your talk of betrayal,

250
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:48,198
but I am sick of betrayal.

251
00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:50,992
I have known betrayal
all my life.

252
00:15:51,076 --> 00:15:54,162
Every man I've ever known
has betrayed me.

253
00:15:54,246 --> 00:15:56,248
Now most women betray me.

254
00:15:56,581 --> 00:15:58,083
What am I supposed to think?

255
00:15:58,166 --> 00:16:00,085
Not every woman
wants to betray you.

256
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:03,088
Of course not, torvi,
but given the chance...

257
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,845
Margrethe, conspire against me
if you want to.

258
00:16:12,097 --> 00:16:15,100
But, if you can find
the courage to be loyal,

259
00:16:15,183 --> 00:16:18,103
then I will respect you
like no other.

260
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,273
You were a slave
who had no choice,

261
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:25,443
but, now, now as a free woman,

262
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,822
you choose to love me.

263
00:16:29,155 --> 00:16:30,323
(Shudders)

264
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:40,000
Sentry: Approaching!

265
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:41,710
Look, riders.

266
00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:44,254
Warrior: Who are they?

267
00:16:45,797 --> 00:16:48,675
Northumbrians.
My mother's people.

268
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:50,176
(Horses nickering)

269
00:16:50,552 --> 00:16:51,970
(Horse neighing)

270
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:55,682
(Goats bleating)

271
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:58,602
(Indistinct chatter)

272
00:17:04,107 --> 00:17:05,483
(Chatter subsides)

273
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:06,860
(Sighs)

274
00:17:11,573 --> 00:17:13,450
Mannel. Queen Judith!

275
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,244
This is my cousin, mannel.

276
00:17:16,953 --> 00:17:19,080
This is my husband,
king aethelwulf.

277
00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:22,751
Sire, as bretwalda,
king of kings,

278
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:26,087
I offer you my allegiance
and my absolute loyalty.

279
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:29,591
You are more welcome
than I can say.

280
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:32,552
There is much business
to be done here.

281
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:34,929
This is my eldest son,
aethelred.

282
00:17:35,347 --> 00:17:37,682
And heahmund,
the bishop of sherborne.

283
00:17:37,766 --> 00:17:38,892
Bishop heahmund,

284
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:40,977
your reputation
as a religious scholar,

285
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:43,146
and as a warrior,
goes before you.

286
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:44,981
And since I came here to fight,

287
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:48,777
I can think of no two men I'd
rather stand beside in the shield-wall

288
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:51,029
than king aethelwulf
of wessex and heahmund,

289
00:17:51,112 --> 00:17:53,073
the warrior bishop of sherborne.

290
00:17:53,156 --> 00:17:55,033
Judith: (Chuckles)
Don't flatter them too much.

291
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:56,910
You'll make them vain.

292
00:17:57,827 --> 00:18:00,497
It's true. The Bible tells us
that all is vanity.

293
00:18:00,914 --> 00:18:03,291
And yet here we are
about god's work.

294
00:18:03,792 --> 00:18:06,628
The Bible also tells us to
show no mercy to unbelievers.

295
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:08,755
Against these devils and pagans,

296
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:11,633
we are the wrath of god.

297
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:15,011
Please, come.

298
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:21,184
(Suspenseful music playing)

299
00:18:23,895 --> 00:18:25,105
(Music playing)

300
00:18:27,357 --> 00:18:28,692
(Horses neighing)

301
00:18:45,583 --> 00:18:47,460
(Indistinct chatter
and shouting)

302
00:18:50,213 --> 00:18:51,589
(Goat bleating)

303
00:18:52,048 --> 00:18:53,883
(Hawker selling wares)

304
00:18:55,301 --> 00:18:57,554
(Exclaims)

(Speaking Greek)

308
00:19:30,462 --> 00:19:31,963
(Sinric speaking Greek)

309
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:42,787
(Speaking English)
What is he asking?

310
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:44,706
(Speaking English)
If we are traders.

311
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:47,353
Of course we are traders.

312
00:19:47,437 --> 00:19:48,897
Look at how few boats
we brought.

313
00:19:50,064 --> 00:19:51,065
(Speaking Greek)

314
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,913
(Swords swishing) (Grunts)

315
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:07,874
(Euphemius panting)

316
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:18,218
(Laughing)

317
00:20:23,473 --> 00:20:24,766
(Laughing)

318
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:28,561
(Speaks Greek)

319
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:33,191
(Speaking English)
He says, "welcome."

320
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:36,152
(Laughing)

321
00:20:39,697 --> 00:20:40,907
(Greets in Greek)

322
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:45,537
(Indistinct chatter resumes)

323
00:20:49,165 --> 00:20:52,335
Sinric: Commander euphemius wants
you to understand that you are not the only

324
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,420
northmen who have appeared
in the mediterranean.

325
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:59,634
The emperor Michael himself has
a personal bodyguard of rus vikings

326
00:20:59,926 --> 00:21:01,261
from the kievan empire.

327
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,556
(Speaking Greek)

328
00:21:09,644 --> 00:21:12,772
Commander euphemius
wants you to be his bodyguards.

329
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:15,400
He will pay you and your men
very well.

330
00:21:16,693 --> 00:21:18,194
It would be better
if you agreed.

331
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:21,281
(String music playing)

332
00:21:21,364 --> 00:21:22,532
Tell him we agree.

333
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:24,576
(Speaking Greek)

334
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:30,915
(Bjorn sniffles)

335
00:21:45,013 --> 00:21:46,389
(Euphemius sighs)

336
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:49,309
(Singing in Greek)

337
00:21:57,275 --> 00:21:58,401
Who is she?

338
00:21:59,027 --> 00:22:00,361
Kassia.

339
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,538
(Euphemius speaking Greek)

340
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:16,336
Sinric: (In English)
Her name is kassia.

341
00:22:17,003 --> 00:22:19,631
Apparently,
she is a Christian. A nun.

342
00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:24,093
She was in charge of a
monastery and writes holy songs.

343
00:22:24,385 --> 00:22:26,888
A nun? A woman of god?

344
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:28,848
(Euphemius speaking Greek)

345
00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:41,944
The commander says that he stole
her from the holy city of Byzantium.

346
00:22:42,195 --> 00:22:43,905
And that she is so famous,

347
00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:46,616
the emperor sentenced him
to death for abducting her.

348
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:48,451
(Singing continues)

349
00:23:15,186 --> 00:23:17,480
Lagertha: Will I ever see
my son again?

350
00:23:18,690 --> 00:23:21,109
Yes. You will see him again.

351
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,737
But in terrible circumstances.

352
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:29,242
What do you mean?

353
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:33,913
The consequences of ragnar's
death are not yet played out.

354
00:23:34,997 --> 00:23:38,084
You have only seen
the beginning of the end.

355
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:42,046
So now prepare yourself
for what is to come.

356
00:23:43,548 --> 00:23:44,841
What is to come?

357
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:46,676
Tell me!

358
00:23:48,886 --> 00:23:52,223
Do you suppose that you could
change your fate if you knew it?

359
00:23:53,266 --> 00:23:57,979
So now, after all,
you want to fetter yourself

360
00:23:58,062 --> 00:24:01,315
and bind yourself in delusions?

361
00:24:01,399 --> 00:24:04,736
No! I was thinking of my son.
Only my son.

362
00:24:04,819 --> 00:24:06,654
(Seer exhales deeply)

363
00:24:06,738 --> 00:24:08,030
It's a mother's weakness.

364
00:24:08,114 --> 00:24:10,783
I have told you
that you will see him again.

365
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:12,702
Is that not enough?

366
00:24:14,412 --> 00:24:18,541
Too much knowledge is an agony.

367
00:24:21,043 --> 00:24:22,545
Prepare yourself.

368
00:24:26,966 --> 00:24:28,509
(Fire crackling)

369
00:24:30,928 --> 00:24:32,764
(Music playing)

370
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:38,186
Lord Odin,

371
00:24:40,188 --> 00:24:41,814
did I make the right choice?

372
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:47,028
Give me a sign. Help me.

373
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:49,071
(Shudders)

374
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:52,575
What is my fate?

375
00:24:53,951 --> 00:24:55,077
(Arrows striking) (Gasps)

376
00:24:57,205 --> 00:24:58,456
(Thrilling music playing)

377
00:25:03,336 --> 00:25:05,254
(Scratching)
(Woman speaking indistinctly)

378
00:25:06,422 --> 00:25:07,465
(Blows)

379
00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:09,217
(Indistinct chatter)

380
00:25:16,474 --> 00:25:17,475
Kassia.

381
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:19,435
What about her?

382
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:22,021
She's up there. Look.

383
00:25:23,564 --> 00:25:25,149
(Inaudible)

384
00:25:26,859 --> 00:25:27,860
It's sinric.

385
00:25:46,254 --> 00:25:47,338
(Gasps)

386
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:49,423
We saw you. (Sighs)

387
00:25:49,507 --> 00:25:51,259
What was all that about,
my friend?

388
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:54,762
I told you.
Nothing is as it seems.

389
00:25:55,471 --> 00:25:57,306
Meaning?
(Goat bleating in distance)

390
00:25:57,390 --> 00:26:01,269
Commander euphemius isn't
really the commander here after all.

391
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:05,147
I don't understand.

392
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:07,984
An arab leader
called ziyadat Allah,

393
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:10,528
the emir of ifriglya,
in kairouan,

394
00:26:10,778 --> 00:26:13,948
agreed to invade the island
on euphemius's behalf,

395
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,992
in return for a yearly tribute.

396
00:26:16,993 --> 00:26:17,994
Where is kairouan?

397
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:19,912
In Africa.

398
00:26:29,505 --> 00:26:30,673
And where is Africa?

399
00:26:31,132 --> 00:26:32,466
Another world.

400
00:26:34,343 --> 00:26:37,388
So this commander euphemius,

401
00:26:39,015 --> 00:26:42,018
he is a, uh, client ruler.

402
00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:43,728
He has no real power.

403
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:45,313
So it appears.

404
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:48,858
And ziyadat Allah?

405
00:26:49,567 --> 00:26:50,568
At the moment,

406
00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:53,321
he is probably the most important
ruler in the mediterranean.

407
00:26:53,696 --> 00:26:55,948
Many, many stories
are told of him.

408
00:26:56,407 --> 00:26:59,243
Both arabs and christians
go to him to ask for favors,

409
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:00,745
which he often grants.

410
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:03,456
For it increases
his influence and his power.

411
00:27:05,416 --> 00:27:06,417
Have you met him?

412
00:27:07,877 --> 00:27:09,712
That was kassia.

413
00:27:10,171 --> 00:27:11,172
Yes.

414
00:27:11,464 --> 00:27:14,675
So who was the man?

415
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:19,221
I don't know.
But almost certainly a spy.

416
00:27:20,097 --> 00:27:21,515
They looked like lovers.

417
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:22,975
It's possible.

418
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,061
A spy for who?

419
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:28,314
For the emperor, perhaps,
or perhaps for ziyadat Allah.

420
00:27:28,397 --> 00:27:30,316
Who can tell in this place?

421
00:27:30,775 --> 00:27:33,903
You wouldn't happen
to be conspiring

422
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:35,947
against us,
now would you, sinric?

423
00:27:36,030 --> 00:27:38,741
I was only trying to find out
what was going on here.

424
00:27:43,371 --> 00:27:44,664
Some wanderers

425
00:27:45,414 --> 00:27:47,333
are really gods in disguise.

426
00:27:48,876 --> 00:27:49,877
Are you?

427
00:27:50,795 --> 00:27:51,963
(Chuckles)

428
00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:55,549
Do I look like a god?

429
00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:58,636
(Scoffs)

430
00:28:03,099 --> 00:28:04,558
I want to meet
this ziyadat Allah.

431
00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:09,313
'Cause it seems like
he is the true leader.

432
00:28:11,065 --> 00:28:12,900
(Knife scratching)

433
00:28:13,943 --> 00:28:15,069
(Blows)

434
00:28:27,289 --> 00:28:28,582
In my vision,

435
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,419
I saw the bodies of the pagans
heaped in the streets,

436
00:28:32,503 --> 00:28:35,381
dead of disease and starvation.

437
00:28:36,716 --> 00:28:38,592
And so it has come to pass.

438
00:28:39,802 --> 00:28:42,555
Now surely
they are burning their dead.

439
00:28:42,638 --> 00:28:43,889
Mmm.

440
00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:46,600
So, indeed, it seems.

441
00:28:47,852 --> 00:28:49,061
(Both chuckle)

442
00:28:50,521 --> 00:28:52,314
Let us fall upon them now.

443
00:28:56,986 --> 00:28:58,612
If you take my advice,

444
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:01,490
let their condition worsen
further still.

445
00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:04,994
Let them suffer more dismay,

446
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:07,663
until only creatures
of rags and bones

447
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:09,415
wander the streets of York.

448
00:29:10,458 --> 00:29:11,667
Then we attack.

449
00:29:12,877 --> 00:29:16,213
Oh, we can't always
be guided by your "visions,"

450
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,049
bishop heahmund, hmm?

451
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:20,468
But surely you see
the signs for yourself.

452
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:22,136
Now, I also see other signs,

453
00:29:23,429 --> 00:29:25,514
how you put yourself forward,

454
00:29:25,598 --> 00:29:28,517
above me, to take command.

455
00:29:28,851 --> 00:29:30,561
(Yelling) Even though
I am your king!

456
00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:31,812
Under god!

457
00:29:39,904 --> 00:29:41,197
Forgive me, sire,

458
00:29:42,406 --> 00:29:43,657
king of kings.

459
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:46,911
I am your humble servant.

460
00:29:48,871 --> 00:29:50,164
Do with me as you will.

461
00:29:50,748 --> 00:29:52,416
(Breathes sharply)

462
00:29:58,339 --> 00:30:01,967
I think you're not humble,
bishop heahmund.

463
00:30:03,177 --> 00:30:05,513
But, still, you are my servant,

464
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:07,014
as well as the lord's.

465
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:09,266
And we shall proceed together,

466
00:30:09,475 --> 00:30:11,102
for the sake of our country,

467
00:30:11,185 --> 00:30:12,937
for the sake of england.

468
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:16,357
My king.

469
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:36,669
(Men coughing)

470
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:42,049
(Music playing)

471
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:47,096
I don't understand.

472
00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:51,559
What is it that you
do not understand, hvitserk?

473
00:30:51,642 --> 00:30:55,104
I don't understand why you pretend
to burn the bodies of our dead.

474
00:30:55,646 --> 00:30:58,274
It's part of my plan. Ah.

475
00:30:58,899 --> 00:30:59,900
What plan?

476
00:31:03,529 --> 00:31:06,073
Did you really think
that I didn't have a plan?

477
00:31:06,448 --> 00:31:07,950
(Cane thuds)
Of course I have a plan.

478
00:31:08,158 --> 00:31:10,870
I'm a cripple, not an idiot.

479
00:31:14,164 --> 00:31:16,876
I have found
something out, hvitserk.

480
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:21,839
The romans were very clever.
(Groans)

481
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:26,510
My plan is based upon
what I have found out.

482
00:31:27,261 --> 00:31:28,512
What is it?

483
00:31:28,971 --> 00:31:30,097
I need to know.

484
00:31:30,973 --> 00:31:33,350
And you will know, my brother.

485
00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:36,270
(Groans) In good time.

486
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:43,277
(Meat sizzling)

487
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:48,908
(Waves crashing)

488
00:31:57,416 --> 00:31:58,792
(In native tongue)

489
00:33:21,959 --> 00:33:23,168
(Music playing)

490
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:37,933
(Waves crashing)

491
00:33:40,561 --> 00:33:41,979
(Thunder rumbling)

492
00:33:43,856 --> 00:33:45,065
(Giggles)

493
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:47,693
(Men shouting indistinctly)

494
00:33:47,776 --> 00:33:49,653
(Seagulls squawking)

495
00:33:56,827 --> 00:33:57,995
(Splashing)

496
00:34:03,167 --> 00:34:04,668
(Men shouting indistinctly)

497
00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:12,593
Astrid.

498
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:17,056
I haven't seen you
for many days.

499
00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:18,724
You were avoiding me.

500
00:34:18,807 --> 00:34:20,059
Mmm. Naturally.

501
00:34:20,142 --> 00:34:21,185
(Chuckles)

502
00:34:22,269 --> 00:34:23,562
Then why are you here now?

503
00:34:25,522 --> 00:34:26,982
I have made up my mind.

504
00:34:28,192 --> 00:34:29,401
To do what?

505
00:34:30,527 --> 00:34:32,071
I asked the gods for advice.

506
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:34,865
I thought about my own life,

507
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:37,076
my own ambitions and hopes.

508
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:42,289
But there is only so much that
humans can do to deny the force of fate.

509
00:34:45,876 --> 00:34:47,169
What is your decision?

510
00:34:49,546 --> 00:34:50,923
What kind of whale is that?

511
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,844
A minke.

512
00:34:56,637 --> 00:34:58,097
And why do we hunt whales?

513
00:34:58,806 --> 00:35:02,142
Because every part
of the whale is useful.

514
00:35:03,018 --> 00:35:04,978
Down to the smallest drop
of its oil,

515
00:35:05,062 --> 00:35:07,272
which keeps our world alight.

516
00:35:08,482 --> 00:35:10,109
I think the whale is a god.

517
00:35:11,151 --> 00:35:12,945
And each killing a sacrifice.

518
00:35:14,738 --> 00:35:15,739
Don't you?

519
00:35:16,365 --> 00:35:17,741
What is your decision?

520
00:35:23,163 --> 00:35:24,248
I agree to marry you.

521
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,166
(Music playing)

522
00:35:31,922 --> 00:35:33,006
Good.

523
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:36,218
I couldn't have waited anylonger

524
00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:47,604
(Music playing)

525
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:25,976
So you come to be married.

526
00:36:27,019 --> 00:36:28,687
You want to be man and wife.

527
00:36:28,937 --> 00:36:29,938
Yes.

528
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:31,607
In the sight of the gods?

529
00:36:32,316 --> 00:36:34,484
In the sight of freyr and Freya?

530
00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:36,570
Yes.

531
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:38,530
And are you agreeable?

532
00:36:40,657 --> 00:36:42,326
Is this what you want to do?

533
00:36:43,577 --> 00:36:44,703
Think carefully.

534
00:36:46,205 --> 00:36:49,416
For although the fetters
of marriage will be invisible,

535
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:52,586
like the cords that bind fenrir,

536
00:36:52,878 --> 00:36:54,421
they will still bind you.

537
00:37:00,636 --> 00:37:03,430
Yes, it is what I want to do.

538
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:05,265
Priestess: Very well.

539
00:37:06,308 --> 00:37:10,312
Then we call upon the gods, who
are gathered invisibly here round us,

540
00:37:10,604 --> 00:37:14,066
to bless and make fecund
this marriage.

541
00:37:15,067 --> 00:37:16,068
The ring.

542
00:37:29,456 --> 00:37:30,874
(Bird warbling)

543
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:36,046
(Indistinct conversations)

544
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:38,882
(Crowd cheering)

545
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:44,429
Perhaps my luck
has finally changed.

546
00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:46,223
(Crowd cheering)

547
00:37:48,350 --> 00:37:50,352
(Waves crashing)

548
00:38:28,932 --> 00:38:30,350
(Wind rushing)

549
00:38:39,943 --> 00:38:41,361
(Music playing)

550
00:38:50,871 --> 00:38:52,622
(In native tongue)
Thank you, allfather.

551
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,293
Thank you.

552
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:13,935
(Speaking Greek)

553
00:39:32,704 --> 00:39:33,914
(Speaking Greek)

554
00:39:39,252 --> 00:39:40,253
What does he say?

555
00:39:40,337 --> 00:39:41,397
(In English) That he won't go.

556
00:39:41,421 --> 00:39:42,756
(Speaking Greek)

557
00:40:15,997 --> 00:40:18,667
(In English) He has
changed his mind. He will come.

558
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:21,253
It was something she said.

559
00:40:22,462 --> 00:40:26,508
Yes. It was something she said.

560
00:40:31,888 --> 00:40:33,306
Halfdan: Who is that woman?

561
00:40:36,893 --> 00:40:38,562
Perhaps she is the all-woman.

562
00:40:39,479 --> 00:40:41,523
Or perhaps just a pain
in the neck.

563
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:56,413
(Horse neighing)

564
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,041

(Horse neighing)

566
00:41:04,212 --> 00:41:05,213
Your highness!

567
00:41:06,923 --> 00:41:07,924
What is it?

568
00:41:08,258 --> 00:41:10,844
They are gone. (Panting)
The northmen. The ships.

569
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:12,012
They are all gone!

570
00:41:26,902 --> 00:41:28,486
(Soldiers chatter indistinctly)

571
00:42:11,571 --> 00:42:13,573
(Rats squeaking and scurrying)

572
00:42:27,754 --> 00:42:28,797
(Horse nickers)

573
00:42:47,357 --> 00:42:49,067
Why are the rats above ground?

574
00:42:59,411 --> 00:43:01,413
(Music playing)
