1
00:00:01,134 --> 00:00:03,660
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:03,804 --> 00:00:08,435
I released the slave Guthred and
saw him crowned King of Cumbraland.
3
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:13,405
I fell in love with his sister
while commanding his troops.
4
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,442
I wish to be seen
as Sigefrid's equal.
5
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:19,653
I ask that you offer
your sister in marriage.
6
00:00:19,786 --> 00:00:22,051
He behaves as if he were king!
7
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:24,920
To defeat Kjartan the Cruel,
8
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:28,587
an alliance was formed with
the brothers Erik and Sigefrid.
9
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:30,822
Kjartan's land will
become your land.
10
00:00:30,998 --> 00:00:32,466
To peace.
11
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:35,660
But Guthred's counselors
saw me as a threat
12
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:38,203
and wanted Christian
men in the army.
13
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:41,765
He believes himself to
be above each one of us.
14
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:45,841
And so a secret bargain
was made with my uncle.
15
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:52,215
Two hundred spears. In return I
shall require the head of Osbert.
16
00:00:52,319 --> 00:00:53,378
What are you doing?
17
00:00:53,487 --> 00:00:56,855
Guthred showed clemency,
but still betrayed me.
18
00:00:57,024 --> 00:01:00,222
You will become a slave,
Uhtred. And Halig with you.
19
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:03,729
King Alfred freed my
brother Ragnar to rescue me.
20
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:08,893
But he was too late.
21
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:12,932
You belong to me now.
22
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:15,234
Destiny is all.

24
00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:26,810
Pull, you bastards!
25
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:30,611
Yah!
26
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:32,479
Pull!
27
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:36,122
We need to fly! Pull!
28
00:02:47,567 --> 00:02:49,297
It's like looking
out of a grave.
29
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:55,035
That will not be our
fate, I swear to you.
30
00:02:56,443 --> 00:03:00,437
D'you think these bastards
will bother digging a hole for ya?
31
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:04,585
We are destined to be tossed
overboard, with the rest of the shite.
32
00:03:04,751 --> 00:03:07,516
I'll tell you, Finan, it
would be my own bad luck
33
00:03:07,621 --> 00:03:10,989
if I got tossed overboard
alive. I can't swim.
34
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,360
Never give up, Halig.
35
00:03:14,961 --> 00:03:17,590
- Shut your mouth back there!
- Never give in.
36
00:03:19,366 --> 00:03:22,336
You don't speak, slave!
37
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:25,130
You pull!
38
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,136
Yes, man! We pull!
39
00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:29,466
- Pull!
- And...
40
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:32,773
Pull! Pull!
41
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,370
Pull!
42
00:03:34,981 --> 00:03:36,040
Pull!
43
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:38,575
Pull!
44
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:41,048
Pull!
45
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:42,849
Pull!
46
00:03:43,290 --> 00:03:44,588
Pull!
47
00:03:45,192 --> 00:03:47,388
Pull!
48
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:52,489
One day, Osbert, I will kill
that bastard and savor it.
49
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:25,898
Two hundred spears as
promised. A man of his word.
50
00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:28,134
It would seem.
51
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:38,011
We can lay siege to
Dunholm as early as tomorrow.
52
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:41,513
The unified armies
of Guthred, Aelfric,
53
00:04:41,648 --> 00:04:44,015
the two brothers, we
march on Dunholm.
54
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:45,708
We show Kjartan our numbers.
55
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:48,480
We stand fast.
56
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:54,721
We starve Kjartan
of water, food,
57
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:56,523
life itself.
58
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:58,289
How did he die?
59
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,702
- Who?
- Uhtred, lord.
60
00:05:02,903 --> 00:05:04,895
His name is Osbert.
61
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,437
Did he shit his britches?
62
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:10,636
Did he beg for
mercy? I want to know.
63
00:05:10,944 --> 00:05:12,776
Uhtred would never beg.
64
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:15,906
- Your queen?
- No.
65
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:19,144
- She has a free tongue, Lord Aelfric.
- She will say nothing more.
66
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:21,687
Well, I wish to see it.
67
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,523
My nephew's head. Where is it?
68
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:28,754
Where it has always
been. On his shoulders.
69
00:05:28,962 --> 00:05:31,761
Rest assured that
Uhtred is as good as dead.
70
00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:34,699
As good as "dead"?
71
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,002
Then he is still alive?
72
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:41,874
For the siege of Dunholm,
73
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:46,936
we agreed 200
spears for his head.
74
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:51,048
- That was the bargain.
- Lord, he is a ship's slave.
75
00:05:51,151 --> 00:05:54,417
In reality Osbert's been given
a fate far, far worse than death.
76
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:56,581
You must understand,
77
00:05:56,957 --> 00:05:59,552
Uhtred saved my life.
78
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,223
He was my friend.
79
00:06:03,129 --> 00:06:04,961
- Your friend?
- Yes.
80
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,976
Lord, I swear, you shall
never hear from him again.
81
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,562
Perhaps I should make an
ally of Kjartan once again.
82
00:06:10,737 --> 00:06:14,037
Maybe he will succeed where
you have so willfully failed.
83
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:17,406
All I required was a
single, lifeless head.
84
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:19,502
Lord, may I suggest
that you rest?
85
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,343
Aidan, how many days
have we been marching?
86
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:23,708
- Six days, lord.
- And you should rest.
87
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:26,150
Six days for no reward!
88
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:29,751
Lord, rest, eat, drink,
89
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:35,255
there must be something we
can do or offer to make this right.
90
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,361
Lord Aelfric,
91
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:46,236
you will have gathered by
now that my brother is part fool.
92
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,769
You should have nothing
more to do with him.
93
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:55,007
My sister has
humor and a tongue!
94
00:06:56,549 --> 00:06:58,108
We leave tomorrow.
95
00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:00,744
- Lord, I beg you...
- My business here is over!
96
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:05,289
Goodbye, Lord Aelfric,
so nice to meet you.
97
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:07,345
Enjoy the long walk
home to Bebbanburg.
98
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:10,859
Guthred, by saving Uhtred...
99
00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:14,695
what you now have is a
chaos of your own making.
100
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:17,097
Chaos.
101
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:20,968
If Aelfric is not with us
then the ground has shifted.
102
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,201
We'll take no part in
the siege of Dunholm.
103
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:24,869
Erik, we must!
104
00:07:25,211 --> 00:07:27,237
We have an agreement,
we have plans.
105
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:29,178
That will no longer
involve the brothers.
106
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:32,480
No Dunholm means we
must again fight for our wealth.
107
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:34,451
Sigefrid, we do have a peace!
108
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:36,921
We do have a peace!
109
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:43,926
Lord, we are in need of an ally.
110
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:47,695
You must offer your sister.
111
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:53,404
The horses are ready?
112
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:55,273
They are, lady.
113
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:58,071
Sihtric, I choose you because
you are loyal to Lord Uhtred.
114
00:07:58,211 --> 00:07:59,270
Always, lady.
115
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:04,646
You will give this note to Hild
when she returns. She will return.
116
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,946
How long will you be gone, lady?
117
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:11,216
All I know is
that I cannot stay.
118
00:08:32,112 --> 00:08:34,672
We are Wessex, of course,
119
00:08:34,781 --> 00:08:38,115
and to our north
lies Mercia, our allies.
120
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:39,947
Mm-hm, and to the east?
121
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,750
Danelaw. Above is
Northumbria and Cumbraland,
122
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:46,358
where Pagans rule and
threaten our Christian brothers.
123
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:49,155
And beyond the great wall
is a kingdom they call Alba,
124
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:50,923
where it is cold and wild.
125
00:08:51,798 --> 00:08:55,997
Good. And what do we call
everything south of the wall?
126
00:08:57,103 --> 00:08:58,969
That will one day be England.
127
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:03,271
Aethelflaed, it would cost a
great deal of both blood and silver
128
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,169
to conquer these lands,
129
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:07,906
even more to hold the ground.
130
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:11,549
And so alliances must be forged,
131
00:09:12,752 --> 00:09:14,744
unions made.
132
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:19,486
- I am to be married?
- Once a suitable match has been made.
133
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,920
I am ready to do my duty.
134
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:35,572
There is a beauty
to a burning village.
135
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,841
It's like you said. Chaos.
136
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:54,290
I wish to be
known as Sigefrid...
137
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:56,420
Lord of Chaos.
138
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:06,797
Come.
139
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:47,039
Sister Hild and company,
what is your purpose?
140
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:50,480
We're here on the orders
of Alfred of Wessex.
141
00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:54,452
- I want to see King Guthred.
- You are a Dane.
142
00:10:54,621 --> 00:10:57,090
I am Earl Ragnar Ragnarson.
143
00:10:57,223 --> 00:11:01,183
This is the warrior
Steapa, Alfred's man.
144
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:05,394
Alfred sends greeting
to King Guthred.
145
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:09,902
And Guthred's sister,
Lady Gisela, is she here?
146
00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:12,005
I would like to see her.
147
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,404
She is not. She did
abandon the city.
148
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:15,736
Where to?
149
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,936
I have yet to find
out, but I shall find out.
150
00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:22,910
You are his brother.
151
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,007
Uhtred's brother.
152
00:11:25,118 --> 00:11:27,053
It is Guthred.
153
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:29,220
I am, lord.
154
00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:31,256
Alfred sent you to do what?
155
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:32,949
To find Uhtred.
156
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:36,529
He's in Uhtred's debt and
would not see him harmed.
157
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:38,358
Uhtred is lost.
158
00:11:39,866 --> 00:11:45,237
I'm truly sorry to say that. My
apologies to both you and to Alfred.
159
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:48,431
There, you've had
a wasted journey.
160
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:51,076
But rest, please,
here, by all means.
161
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:53,942
You will tell me the name
of the man who took Uhtred.
162
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,379
I... I need to
gather my thoughts.
163
00:11:56,516 --> 00:11:59,782
Lord, I wish to know the name
of the slaver! If you are truly sorry,
164
00:11:59,953 --> 00:12:02,752
you will tell me and
where to find him!
165
00:12:04,357 --> 00:12:07,521
Uhtred is indeed lost.
166
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,614
Bail, you dogs!
167
00:12:28,781 --> 00:12:32,616
Release our chains!
We'll work faster!
168
00:12:33,486 --> 00:12:36,320
Bail out or you'll
go down with her!
169
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:47,164
You want to live? You bail!
170
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:13,619
I pray God will
keep him safe, lady.
171
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:40,483
Osbert, he will
not stop bailing.
172
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:54,364
Rest.
173
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,435
You will need your strength.
174
00:13:57,437 --> 00:14:00,566
I am happy enough to bail.
175
00:14:06,045 --> 00:14:07,445
Hey!
176
00:14:17,056 --> 00:14:19,457
Oh? Oh, you think you're
better than these men?
177
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:23,323
They are property, as are you.
178
00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:26,365
You should let go of your pride,
179
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:28,662
it will be the death of you.
180
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:31,796
Rest!
181
00:14:36,642 --> 00:14:37,701
Huh.
182
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:42,106
He's right, you should rest.
183
00:14:45,685 --> 00:14:47,415
We're wasting away, you and I.
184
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,717
We should be saving what's
left of our strength to run.
185
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:59,223
But to run we'll need skin on
our feet and not rotting flesh.
186
00:15:03,035 --> 00:15:04,503
Then we should bail.
187
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:16,682
These wretches all
tell the same story, lord.
188
00:15:19,352 --> 00:15:24,347
They flee slaughter at the hands of
the brothers. We must surely be next.
189
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:26,288
And what do I do?
190
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:28,888
Do I fight?
191
00:15:28,995 --> 00:15:31,157
Do I now march
against the brothers?
192
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:34,290
It is not my place to instruct
a king in the ways of war.
193
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,301
I am asking for your counsel!
194
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:39,532
I am without a
commander of my guard!
195
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:42,164
Then I would say we need first
196
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:45,870
to secure grain enough for the
winter to feed these wretches.
197
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:51,778
And I would say we need Lord Aelfric
of Bebbanburg now more than ever.
198
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:05,422
We would appreciate some
water, for ourselves and the horses.
199
00:16:05,565 --> 00:16:07,295
It's yours. There.
200
00:16:17,043 --> 00:16:18,944
- You are Jonis?
- I am.
201
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:23,210
I've been told that you took a man,
a warrior, from Guthred of Eoferwic.
202
00:16:23,349 --> 00:16:25,375
You sold him as a slave.
203
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:28,420
I see the faces of
so many creatures.
204
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:30,420
I'm not here to open
your belly, Jonis.
205
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:31,556
Not yet.
206
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:35,024
I'll pay you.
207
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,726
Here.
208
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:40,595
You will not feed the slaves!
209
00:16:40,766 --> 00:16:43,235
And you will not bark
like a great fat hound!
210
00:16:49,609 --> 00:16:51,339
You said you will pay?
211
00:16:51,444 --> 00:16:53,345
Yes, I did.
212
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:01,818
The warrior slave,
called himself Osbert.
213
00:17:07,627 --> 00:17:11,462
There was another
man, smaller, Saxon.
214
00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:16,292
A sea trader named
Sverri took them both.
215
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:17,461
Where is Sverri now?
216
00:17:17,603 --> 00:17:20,573
Wherever the sea and
promise of silver takes him.
217
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:23,232
Life at the oar
is hard and short.
218
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:26,403
Sverri will return, I'm sure.
219
00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:28,276
Refresh his crew.
220
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:29,473
When?
221
00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:33,677
Autumn and winter will
pass, but come spring,
222
00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:36,789
the first full moon
after Sigr Blot,
223
00:17:38,324 --> 00:17:40,520
we will gather for
business at the beach.
224
00:17:41,661 --> 00:17:44,631
Sverri will be there, I swear.
225
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:49,301
And between that
time he sails where?
226
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:54,597
His ships plough the roughest
sea, he could be any place.
227
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:57,609
- You tell us nothing.
- I tell you what I know to be true.
228
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:01,480
All you can do is watch
the beaches and wait.
229
00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:13,456
You Saxon dogs!
230
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:18,262
- Move it now!
- It's East Anglia.
231
00:18:21,067 --> 00:18:23,229
It could well be Frankia.
232
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,372
Drink water.
233
00:18:30,376 --> 00:18:32,470
- I need land.
- Yes.
234
00:18:32,578 --> 00:18:35,446
Lord, I need land.
I need to get out.
235
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,312
- I need land!
- Halig!
236
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:40,511
- Back at your place!
- He is back at his place!
237
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:42,952
Tell them who you are,
tell them you have silver!
238
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:46,115
- You will be quiet!
- He is sick with the fever!
239
00:18:46,692 --> 00:18:48,354
We will hold him!
240
00:18:48,928 --> 00:18:51,363
I said we will hold him!
241
00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:55,493
Worthless slaves.
242
00:19:02,742 --> 00:19:04,711
- I can't.
- Halig, Halig...
243
00:19:04,877 --> 00:19:07,210
- I can't stay on this ship!
- Halig!
244
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:09,944
You are a warrior.
245
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:14,782
You followed me into
battle at Ethandun.
246
00:19:16,389 --> 00:19:18,620
You fought bravely! Halig!
247
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:24,019
You saved me from Kjartan's spies
in Cumbraland. Remember that?
248
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:27,326
I did.
249
00:19:28,801 --> 00:19:29,996
You did.
250
00:19:31,203 --> 00:19:32,933
We are warriors.
251
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,806
And our time will come.
252
00:19:39,412 --> 00:19:41,040
Look at me, Halig.
253
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,917
You have followed every
order I've ever given you.
254
00:19:46,052 --> 00:19:47,714
I'm giving you one more.
255
00:19:49,355 --> 00:19:50,789
You will row.
256
00:19:51,757 --> 00:19:54,556
You will pull and you will
wait and our time will come.
257
00:19:55,961 --> 00:19:58,055
And together we shall win.
258
00:19:59,065 --> 00:20:00,260
Together.
259
00:20:23,155 --> 00:20:25,989
Mother, please tell me
he is not here as a suitor.
260
00:20:26,092 --> 00:20:28,994
He is Ceolwulf,
the father of Mercia.
261
00:20:29,095 --> 00:20:31,189
He is barely alive.
262
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:36,863
Lord Ceolwulf,
263
00:20:38,504 --> 00:20:41,804
Wessex is honored
to welcome you.
264
00:20:41,974 --> 00:20:44,034
We welcome all of the
Ealdormen of Mercia.
265
00:20:44,376 --> 00:20:45,605
We do not.
266
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:47,475
May our discussions
prove to be beneficial
267
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:49,114
and fruitful for both parties.
268
00:20:49,281 --> 00:20:51,079
Swords, Alfred.
269
00:20:52,218 --> 00:20:55,052
I shall make my point
clear from the outset.
270
00:20:56,455 --> 00:21:00,654
We demand swords and
the men to carry them.
271
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:05,731
To help stem the wave upon wave
of raiders, lord, from the Daneland.
272
00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:07,060
Forgive my interruption.
273
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:12,701
Mercia lost many a warrior
at Ethandun, and willingly.
274
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:17,608
I expect repayment.
275
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:19,702
I hear you, Ceolwulf.
276
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:22,439
I consider our
lands to be one...
277
00:21:22,548 --> 00:21:24,608
No, we are not one,
278
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:28,916
we are Mercia and
you are Wessex.
279
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,025
Refreshment?
280
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,090
Swords.
281
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:39,128
I will not be silenced.
282
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:42,928
Lord Ceolwulf, perhaps a
seat? It has been a long journey.
283
00:21:43,636 --> 00:21:45,628
It has.
284
00:21:47,273 --> 00:21:48,969
For a purpose.
285
00:21:50,543 --> 00:21:52,478
I understand completely
286
00:21:52,578 --> 00:21:56,913
that at times the East of Mercia
is overrun with Viking raiders.
287
00:21:57,116 --> 00:21:59,381
We suffer the same fate
along our northern border.
288
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:02,716
What of your warrior Uhtred?
289
00:22:03,923 --> 00:22:09,362
He is a leader of men. Dispatch
him to our border with Daneland.
290
00:22:09,461 --> 00:22:13,762
Uhtred and 50 men I will accept.
291
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:20,572
Uhtred was last seen in
Northumbria, lord, the place of his birth.
292
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:22,140
Northumbria?
293
00:22:23,142 --> 00:22:27,944
You can send men to the far
north but not to your neighbor?
294
00:22:29,481 --> 00:22:33,612
Lord Ceolwulf, the
solution to our problem,
295
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:35,449
I feel, is a bond.
296
00:22:35,554 --> 00:22:39,821
The solution is swords and men.
297
00:22:39,959 --> 00:22:42,656
A permanent bond
between Wessex and Mercia.
298
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:45,788
- A union, lord.
- Swords!
299
00:22:45,931 --> 00:22:48,992
How many times
do I need to say it?!
300
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:52,399
How many times
am I to be ignored?
301
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:54,973
Lord Ceolwulf, you
have read my letters?
302
00:22:57,142 --> 00:22:58,166
Lord Ceolwulf?
303
00:22:58,344 --> 00:23:01,178
Yes, of course I
have read your letters.
304
00:23:03,616 --> 00:23:05,778
You're looking for a buck.
305
00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:07,784
A match, lord.
306
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,253
And I have a name
for you right here.
307
00:23:11,991 --> 00:23:13,960
In a letter of my own.
308
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:16,187
A good man, a godly man.
309
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:21,796
Mercian stock, like
the lady Aelswith.
310
00:23:23,636 --> 00:23:25,605
But what guarantee do I have
311
00:23:26,672 --> 00:23:31,975
that Mercia will not become a
mere appendage of Wessex,
312
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:34,043
a poor cousin?
313
00:23:34,947 --> 00:23:37,974
- We are a kingdom.
- Lord, your first concern should be
314
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:40,678
that you do not become
an appendage to Daneland.
315
00:23:40,819 --> 00:23:47,487
And who was it agreed to
this thing called Daneland?!
316
00:23:47,626 --> 00:23:49,652
It was you.
317
00:23:50,396 --> 00:23:51,887
It was Alfred!
318
00:23:53,866 --> 00:23:58,770
And now it is Mercia
that suffers most.
319
00:23:58,871 --> 00:24:00,897
- Swords you demand, lord.
- I do.
320
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,702
- And swords you shall have.
- How many?
321
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:05,072
Wessex could never
turn away from Mercia.
322
00:24:05,244 --> 00:24:09,272
It would be akin to Alfred
turning away from Aelswith.
323
00:24:09,982 --> 00:24:13,214
It could never occur,
Lord Ceolwulf, never.
324
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:15,220
What is this?
325
00:24:15,321 --> 00:24:23,127
Each time I talk of swords and spears
and yet you insist on speaking of unions
326
00:24:25,230 --> 00:24:27,256
and of ki...
327
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:32,260
A cup of water
for Lord Ceolwulf?
328
00:24:32,604 --> 00:24:34,732
A cup of water?
329
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:41,871
I think perhaps a
hole in the ground.
330
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:54,282
He has passed, lord.
331
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:16,040
Our, um...
332
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:20,584
our deepest sympathies
are with all of you.
333
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:23,712
Be assured that I and
the priests of Wessex
334
00:25:23,889 --> 00:25:27,189
shall pray for Lord
Ceolwulf's soul.
335
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:34,461
I pray eternal light
will shine upon him.
336
00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:39,062
We shall adjourn.
337
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:41,936
Which one of you is Aethelred?
338
00:25:45,310 --> 00:25:47,302
I am Aethelred, lady.
339
00:25:50,482 --> 00:25:54,510
Aethelred, if you could ensure
that Ceolwulf is returned to his family,
340
00:25:54,620 --> 00:25:58,751
- I would be grateful.
- Yes, lord, of course, lord.
341
00:26:15,641 --> 00:26:18,611
Master Sverri and your
friend Hakka have good news.
342
00:26:20,846 --> 00:26:22,940
We're finished
now until the spring.
343
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,250
Winter will be on land.
344
00:26:29,121 --> 00:26:30,749
Iceland.
345
00:26:32,224 --> 00:26:34,125
Where there's work to be done.
346
00:26:34,226 --> 00:26:37,526
Be ready.
347
00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:45,797
Hear that, Halig, land.
348
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:49,967
I love land.
349
00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:29,079
So,
350
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:32,378
in place of the head of Osbert
351
00:27:32,518 --> 00:27:34,248
you offer me a bride,
352
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:37,322
by your own admission,
353
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:40,889
you have misplaced.
354
00:27:41,026 --> 00:27:43,928
But we will find
her, lord, and soon.
355
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:47,999
You will find her when?
Before I finish my food?
356
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,932
Before the end of winter?
357
00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:55,530
Lord, we have eyes across Northumbria
and Cumbraland and we have prayer.
358
00:27:55,707 --> 00:27:57,835
She will have gone
to Cumbraland.
359
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:01,305
- I... I know my sister.
- Ah, but I do not.
360
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,918
I know she must
be very fond of me,
361
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:08,112
to hide herself away like this.
362
00:28:08,253 --> 00:28:11,121
Lord, she would not be
the first reluctant bride.
363
00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:13,088
True.
364
00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:23,365
It is also a truth that she
was very fond of your nephew.
365
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,529
I have a duty to tell you,
366
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:31,240
there was talk of marriage.
367
00:28:36,882 --> 00:28:39,078
She remains fond of Osbert?
368
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:42,518
Oh, I would imagine that he
is the reason she is in hiding.
369
00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:53,131
Then I shall have her.
370
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,101
You will?
371
00:28:57,135 --> 00:28:59,400
There are, however, conditions.
372
00:28:59,605 --> 00:29:02,234
Not one spear shall
belong to Eoferwic
373
00:29:02,341 --> 00:29:05,175
until Gisela is
delivered and is my wife.
374
00:29:06,144 --> 00:29:07,942
Aidan shall return with you.
375
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,772
You will treat him well,
you will feed him well,
376
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:14,717
for the entire winter,
should that be necessary.
377
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:16,914
I do not eat too much.
378
00:29:17,022 --> 00:29:20,117
Finally, you will deliver a
message from me to Kjartan.
379
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,361
- Kjartan?
- Saying what?
380
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,556
Saying how my nephew may
be found and therefore killed.
381
00:29:28,934 --> 00:29:32,234
Why bark when there
are hounds available?
382
00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:36,104
Are we agreed?
383
00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:44,011
Yes.
384
00:29:46,351 --> 00:29:48,183
We are agreed.
385
00:30:12,544 --> 00:30:14,672
I think we might
be getting fed, lord.
386
00:30:15,047 --> 00:30:16,481
Call him Osbert.
387
00:30:40,405 --> 00:30:43,671
More than you
deserve. Be grateful.
388
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:13,035
Lord, your gift of warriors,
389
00:31:13,205 --> 00:31:15,606
they have served Mercia
well this past winter.
390
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:19,940
- The raids are not so frequent now.
- It gladdens me to hear it.
391
00:31:21,113 --> 00:31:23,207
You have done well, Aethelred.
392
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:25,212
Thank you, lord.
393
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:28,115
Now, I believe there is
other business. Odda?
394
00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:29,312
Yes, lord.
395
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:33,322
The bride price.
396
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:37,058
Well, we...
397
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:41,223
I have considered what
would be appropriate.
398
00:31:41,366 --> 00:31:45,269
I propose to gift the lady
Aethelflaed 3,000 pieces.
399
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:53,443
Four thousand would
perhaps be more fitting?
400
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:58,483
Lord Aethelred, she is the King's
daughter, she is not without means.
401
00:31:59,551 --> 00:32:03,682
Silver, though valuable, does
not represent what she will become,
402
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:05,949
a lady of Mercia.
403
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:12,057
Perhaps you have a gift
with more... permanency?
404
00:32:12,164 --> 00:32:13,496
Ancestry.
405
00:32:20,372 --> 00:32:23,137
We would, of course,
bequeath Aethelflaed titled lands,
406
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:28,713
rich lands, in Mercia,
to further the union.
407
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:33,482
A fair price I feel. Excellent.
408
00:32:36,922 --> 00:32:38,356
Excellent, lord.
409
00:32:39,157 --> 00:32:40,284
To permanency.
410
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:49,200
Quick! Hide yourself!
411
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:55,205
How may I serve you,
Sven Kjartenssen?
412
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:03,605
You will not waste my time,
we will not speak of silver.
413
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:06,307
We will talk of a man
you know as Osbert.
414
00:33:27,939 --> 00:33:30,340
Halig...
415
00:33:58,904 --> 00:34:00,668
Do not move.
416
00:34:21,426 --> 00:34:24,487
I said... do not move.
417
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:48,310
Bastards!
418
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:08,865
Don't just stand
there looking idle.
419
00:35:09,074 --> 00:35:10,906
He has the weight of an ox!
420
00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:23,513
We must divide,
go separate ways.
421
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:27,854
Come this way, follow me.
422
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:32,363
Halig, keep going.
423
00:35:40,772 --> 00:35:42,866
Come on. Come on.
424
00:35:46,011 --> 00:35:47,011
Come on.
425
00:36:15,306 --> 00:36:17,036
Look! A boat!
426
00:36:18,243 --> 00:36:20,439
Blessed Jesus,
there's a bastard boat!
427
00:36:53,778 --> 00:36:55,007
Halig.
428
00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:58,849
- Get in the boat!
- Lord, leave me here!
429
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:17,798
Pull!
430
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:20,768
Pull!
431
00:37:22,874 --> 00:37:25,002
Pull!
432
00:37:27,612 --> 00:37:28,978
Pull!
433
00:37:33,785 --> 00:37:36,448
Pull, lord!
434
00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:41,523
You are alive only because I
am curious to know who you are
435
00:37:41,659 --> 00:37:44,128
and if you'll fetch
a good price.
436
00:37:44,796 --> 00:37:45,991
Pull!
437
00:37:47,832 --> 00:37:49,994
Pull and save him the pain!
438
00:37:52,036 --> 00:37:53,197
Pull!
439
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:06,676
Pull and give him
the peace of death!
440
00:38:09,454 --> 00:38:10,615
Pull!
441
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:24,569
Pull!
442
00:38:28,273 --> 00:38:29,969
Pull!
443
00:38:37,882 --> 00:38:39,646
Pull!
444
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:50,987
Pull!
445
00:39:34,505 --> 00:39:35,700
Jonis!
446
00:39:39,611 --> 00:39:42,706
I'm looking for Jonis,
the slaver. Is he here?
447
00:39:44,649 --> 00:39:47,744
- Who has seen him?
- You will deal with me today.
448
00:39:49,988 --> 00:39:52,958
- You know who I am?
- I do, lord.
449
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:56,422
You have something
that I want, Master Sverri.
450
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:58,553
Yes, lord.
451
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:30,691
Uhtred Ragnarson. Is that you?
452
00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:33,697
Is it?
453
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:37,858
What do you call this man?
454
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:42,839
He calls himself Osbert, but I
heard another slave call him lord.
455
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:46,167
It is him.
456
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:48,109
Oh.
457
00:40:49,047 --> 00:40:50,777
I have waited for this moment.
458
00:40:54,652 --> 00:40:56,052
Give him a sword.
459
00:40:57,655 --> 00:40:59,180
A sword.
460
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:14,832
Sven?
461
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:18,435
Yes.
462
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:21,635
It is me, Sven the one-eye.
463
00:41:22,747 --> 00:41:24,010
Pick it up.
464
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:26,808
Pick it up!
465
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:34,557
He... He's too weak.
466
00:41:38,029 --> 00:41:39,861
I will kill you.
467
00:41:40,531 --> 00:41:42,727
Uhtred, I am pleased
that you will try.
468
00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:46,265
He is too weak!
469
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:58,114
I will be forever the man
470
00:41:59,150 --> 00:42:01,551
who killed the
great warrior Uhtred.
471
00:42:27,945 --> 00:42:29,072
Uhtred!
472
00:42:30,681 --> 00:42:32,172
Uhtred!
473
00:42:37,989 --> 00:42:41,721
Uhtred? It's me, it's Ragnar.
474
00:42:43,294 --> 00:42:45,126
Ragnar...
475
00:42:59,110 --> 00:43:01,170
Did you believe we
would abandon you?
476
00:43:13,224 --> 00:43:15,193
Free them all.
477
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:50,386
Pull.
478
00:44:22,393 --> 00:44:23,452
Halig.
479
00:44:27,465 --> 00:44:29,866
He's been taken down,
480
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:35,099
wrapped and buried
with shield and sword.
481
00:44:36,908 --> 00:44:39,468
You will say
words for him, Hild?
482
00:44:39,944 --> 00:44:41,879
I have.
483
00:44:42,213 --> 00:44:43,943
I will, always.
484
00:44:48,853 --> 00:44:50,344
Northumbria is torn.
485
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:54,287
Aelfric did not come
to Guthred's side.
486
00:44:54,425 --> 00:44:58,157
Erik and Sigefrid and Kjartan,
they do what they please.
487
00:45:14,111 --> 00:45:16,273
You haven't asked
how I come to be here.
488
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:20,309
Alfred.
489
00:45:20,451 --> 00:45:23,785
Alfred sent us.
490
00:45:27,158 --> 00:45:31,926
I believe the King of
Wessex cares for you.
491
00:45:36,167 --> 00:45:38,534
You're Uhtred's brother?
492
00:45:38,936 --> 00:45:39,936
I am.
493
00:45:41,172 --> 00:45:43,107
You look nothing
like each other.
494
00:45:48,112 --> 00:45:49,546
Uhtred, you should eat.
495
00:45:53,751 --> 00:45:54,810
Finan.
496
00:45:54,952 --> 00:46:00,016
Oh, we will eat, lady,
but our tummies are small.
497
00:46:00,157 --> 00:46:03,127
And our feet have
barely touched dry land.
498
00:46:04,128 --> 00:46:05,994
It'll take a little
time to find them.
499
00:46:08,132 --> 00:46:09,430
Are you his brother?
500
00:46:09,834 --> 00:46:11,632
We are...
501
00:46:14,939 --> 00:46:18,808
We are bound, I would say.
502
00:47:15,299 --> 00:47:18,360
Up. You've been
asleep for a day or more.
503
00:47:21,305 --> 00:47:23,103
I can do it.
504
00:47:42,460 --> 00:47:44,190
Take off your clothes.
505
00:48:52,263 --> 00:48:54,562
You've not looked me in the eye,
506
00:48:54,732 --> 00:48:56,325
not once.
507
00:48:59,537 --> 00:49:02,200
I am ashamed of what I became.
508
00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:31,534
You are Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
509
00:49:32,436 --> 00:49:34,098
Lord of Bebbanburg.
510
00:49:35,439 --> 00:49:37,601
It's time you remembered that.
511
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:42,374
You kept the blade sharp.
512
00:49:42,513 --> 00:49:44,709
I knew you'd return.
513
00:49:53,657 --> 00:49:55,592
She's heavier than I remember.
514
00:49:59,730 --> 00:50:01,995
How did Alfred come
to know of my fate?
515
00:50:03,467 --> 00:50:04,560
You?
516
00:50:06,604 --> 00:50:08,232
I will not forget.
517
00:50:12,576 --> 00:50:14,636
You will always
have my protection.
518
00:50:15,746 --> 00:50:17,738
I could not ask for more.
519
00:50:19,250 --> 00:50:20,548
And this...
520
00:50:22,853 --> 00:50:24,583
This is my gift to you.
521
00:50:34,231 --> 00:50:35,460
Protection.
522
00:50:50,881 --> 00:50:52,907
You are too good a
woman for God alone.
523
00:50:56,687 --> 00:50:59,247
Uhtred, it is you.
524
00:51:20,711 --> 00:51:22,543
The apples are
beginning to fall without...
525
00:51:22,713 --> 00:51:24,477
- Shh.
- Picking.
526
00:51:31,822 --> 00:51:35,884
Here we are,
Brothers, God's gift.
527
00:51:36,293 --> 00:51:38,455
Thank you, Mother,
most generous.
528
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,122
You have been to
Cumbraland, you say?
529
00:51:41,231 --> 00:51:42,893
We have, and without luck.
530
00:51:44,902 --> 00:51:47,531
And you've had no strangers
call unto your door, Mother?
531
00:51:47,671 --> 00:51:52,837
Strangers, yes, traders
and wretches, but no ladies.
532
00:51:58,248 --> 00:51:59,477
Hmm.
533
00:52:06,757 --> 00:52:08,248
You have an appetite, lord.
534
00:52:08,359 --> 00:52:10,487
Mmm, I do.
535
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:12,393
It's good.
536
00:52:14,398 --> 00:52:15,991
I'm pleased.
537
00:52:19,603 --> 00:52:20,662
Alfred waits.
538
00:52:21,772 --> 00:52:23,263
For your return.
539
00:52:26,610 --> 00:52:30,945
We have business
here, Steapa, in the north.
540
00:52:31,115 --> 00:52:33,380
I gave my word. We go to Wessex.
541
00:52:34,485 --> 00:52:36,351
But we're here, now.
542
00:52:36,487 --> 00:52:39,582
I gave my word we
go directly to Wessex.
543
00:52:39,690 --> 00:52:44,685
Kjartan can wait,
and Thyra must wait.
544
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:46,429
And Gisela?
545
00:52:48,532 --> 00:52:49,761
What of her?
546
00:52:50,801 --> 00:52:52,429
She's safe.
547
00:52:53,303 --> 00:52:56,205
She waits for you at
the nunnery at Ebchester.
548
00:52:57,941 --> 00:52:58,965
Huh.
549
00:53:20,264 --> 00:53:21,732
- No!
- Seize her!
550
00:53:21,832 --> 00:53:23,460
No! No! No!
551
00:53:28,572 --> 00:53:30,438
No, I will not!
552
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:32,373
- No!
- Hold her!
553
00:53:32,476 --> 00:53:35,674
Hold her fast. Stand beside
her, we shall have her married.
554
00:53:35,813 --> 00:53:37,406
You have no right!
555
00:53:37,548 --> 00:53:39,983
I have every right
and you will be quiet.
556
00:53:40,384 --> 00:53:43,081
Elfric's man, stand beside her.
557
00:53:43,754 --> 00:53:46,451
We shall have her
married to Aelfric right now.
558
00:53:46,623 --> 00:53:49,491
- Without a husband, lord?
- I will not marry against my wish!
559
00:53:49,626 --> 00:53:51,891
- You cannot...
- Do not strike the poor girl!
560
00:53:52,029 --> 00:53:53,793
Do as you are told
and as God commands!
561
00:53:54,865 --> 00:53:57,027
Beside her, as proxy.
562
00:53:57,401 --> 00:53:59,666
You'll stand in
for Lord Aelfric.
563
00:54:02,906 --> 00:54:07,002
We shall dispense with the joining
of hands. You may take her arm.
564
00:54:12,216 --> 00:54:13,844
I will not be party to this.
565
00:54:14,585 --> 00:54:18,022
- I will not marry...
- And we shall dispense with the vows.
566
00:54:32,503 --> 00:54:35,302
I hereby proclaim Lady
Gisela of Cumbraland
567
00:54:35,439 --> 00:54:38,136
and Lord Aelfric of
Bebbanburg to be man and wife.
568
00:54:38,242 --> 00:54:40,302
- Gisela!
- Uhtred?
569
00:54:40,410 --> 00:54:41,935
Uhtred, I'm here!
570
00:54:44,848 --> 00:54:45,941
Uhtred.
571
00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:48,676
- You will let her go.
- You are too late.
572
00:54:48,819 --> 00:54:50,859
- You will let her go!
- She is married now.
573
00:54:50,888 --> 00:54:53,653
- She belongs to Aelfric.
- It is a lie, Uhtred.
574
00:54:53,757 --> 00:54:57,023
Where is Aelfric? If he's not
here, then he cannot be married.
575
00:54:57,127 --> 00:54:59,323
By proxy, you fool.
576
00:54:59,463 --> 00:55:02,456
This man stood beside
her in place of Aelfric.
577
00:55:02,566 --> 00:55:04,660
Uhtred, in the eyes
of God, she is married.
578
00:55:04,835 --> 00:55:07,270
- Did you hump her for Aelfric?
- He did not.
579
00:55:07,571 --> 00:55:09,015
Then there's no
marriage, it's a lie.
580
00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:11,736
She is married and
it cannot be undone.
581
00:55:11,875 --> 00:55:13,673
- Make her a widow.
- No!
582
00:55:13,777 --> 00:55:16,975
Gisela is married to
Aelfric, not to Aidan.
583
00:55:17,147 --> 00:55:19,912
I have a wife already.
A different wife.
584
00:55:20,083 --> 00:55:22,109
Uhtred, I'm bored with this.
585
00:55:23,187 --> 00:55:24,780
Kill them all.
586
00:55:40,971 --> 00:55:43,907
Do as you wish. In sight
of God she's married.
587
00:55:44,708 --> 00:55:46,677
Say she's married again.
588
00:55:46,777 --> 00:55:48,177
She's married.
589
00:55:50,380 --> 00:55:52,315
- Ah.
- She's what?
590
00:55:52,482 --> 00:55:53,814
She is married.
591
00:55:53,951 --> 00:55:55,180
Uhtred!
592
00:55:55,586 --> 00:55:57,555
- Is she married?
- Yes!
593
00:55:58,555 --> 00:56:00,547
He is a man of God!
594
00:56:00,691 --> 00:56:03,855
Say it one more time, priest,
and I swear the devil will take you.
595
00:56:03,961 --> 00:56:06,988
You're nothing but a heathen
and the bitch is married!
596
00:56:28,852 --> 00:56:30,115
You!
597
00:56:33,991 --> 00:56:36,051
You will go to my uncle,
598
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:39,059
and when he asks of his wife,
599
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:43,257
you will tell him she's in the
bed of Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
600
00:57:06,657 --> 00:57:09,422
I trust you are in health.
601
00:57:09,593 --> 00:57:11,892
I improve with each passing day.
602
00:57:14,231 --> 00:57:16,757
- And you, lord?
- God afflicts me.
603
00:57:16,867 --> 00:57:20,702
But there is purpose in
that, so I must be glad of it.
604
00:57:23,173 --> 00:57:25,608
Earl Ragnar, he is a good man.
605
00:57:26,643 --> 00:57:29,203
I should like to free
both him and Brida.
606
00:57:31,581 --> 00:57:33,072
Thank you, lord,
607
00:57:33,216 --> 00:57:36,015
- for all you have done.
- What do you think of my candles?
608
00:57:39,790 --> 00:57:41,691
I find them to be
more effective at night.
609
00:57:45,095 --> 00:57:47,291
I have missed your
childish insolence.
610
00:57:49,633 --> 00:57:51,625
I'm trying to measure
the passing of time.
611
00:57:51,735 --> 00:57:56,605
I'm hoping to find a candle that
burns from midday to midday.
612
00:57:59,242 --> 00:58:01,541
Lord, why did you
have me rescued?
613
00:58:01,645 --> 00:58:03,923
- Why have you brought me here?
- I had you rescued
614
00:58:03,947 --> 00:58:07,107
firstly because I was able and secondly
because it is no more than you deserved.
615
00:58:09,853 --> 00:58:13,654
Though I admit, I... would like
you in my service once again.
616
00:58:19,029 --> 00:58:21,225
I am grateful, of course,
617
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:25,869
but I have my
own path to follow.
618
00:58:25,969 --> 00:58:27,870
- Destiny.
- Destiny, lord.
619
00:58:30,874 --> 00:58:32,137
You killed the Abbot Eadred.
620
00:58:35,045 --> 00:58:38,743
According to the words
of Brother Trew and others.
621
00:58:38,882 --> 00:58:41,078
- He was a weasel, lord.
- A weasel without a sword,
622
00:58:41,184 --> 00:58:43,085
- a holy weasel.
- Who deserved to die.
623
00:58:43,186 --> 00:58:46,350
You killed him on blessed
ground. He was an abbot.
624
00:58:48,392 --> 00:58:50,759
However, you were in the
company of Earl Ragnar,
625
00:58:50,861 --> 00:58:53,296
in the charge of Earl Ragnar,
who was under my orders
626
00:58:53,397 --> 00:58:55,957
and whom I hold responsible
for the killing of Abbot Eadred.
627
00:58:57,734 --> 00:59:02,069
- No. No, lord, it was me and me alone.
- Why did he not stop you?
628
00:59:02,172 --> 00:59:04,107
You cannot blame Ragnar
for the abbot's death.
629
00:59:04,207 --> 00:59:05,971
- Yes, I can and I do.
- That is unfair.
630
00:59:06,109 --> 00:59:08,738
- He will stand trial.
- No.
631
00:59:18,789 --> 00:59:20,815
You are a great warrior, Uhtred.
632
00:59:22,926 --> 00:59:24,895
You are a Saxon
who is also a Dane.
633
00:59:24,995 --> 00:59:27,965
The very embodiment of
the England that must emerge.
634
00:59:30,634 --> 00:59:32,626
I request that you
enter my service.
635
00:59:36,573 --> 00:59:40,840
Lord, I have been a slave.
636
00:59:42,312 --> 00:59:43,974
I wish to remain a free man.
637
00:59:44,114 --> 00:59:46,106
What is it that you
wish for Earl Ragnar?
638
00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:47,815
Lord, please.
639
00:59:47,918 --> 00:59:50,752
A man of God was slaughtered.
That cannot be ignored.
640
00:59:50,854 --> 00:59:55,918
Someone must answer. It will
be you or it will be Earl Ragnar.
641
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,719
You may choose.
642
01:00:00,464 --> 01:00:03,161
Your sword, Uhtred.
643
01:00:04,167 --> 01:00:07,001
You can be a free
man within my service.
644
01:00:07,137 --> 01:00:10,539
- Ragnar goes free?
- He has earned it.
645
01:00:14,044 --> 01:00:15,444
Swear.
646
01:00:21,251 --> 01:00:24,380
- I, Uhtred of Beb...
- It is the custom to kneel.
647
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:45,274
I, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, pledge
my sword to you, Alfred of Wessex.
