1
00:00:00,013 --> 00:00:04,101
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
I released the slave Guthred
2
00:00:04,102 --> 00:00:06,680
and saw him crowned King of Cumbraland.
3
00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:12,248
I fell in love with his sister
while commanding his troops.
4
00:00:12,249 --> 00:00:14,967
I wish to be seen as Sigefrid's equal.
5
00:00:14,968 --> 00:00:17,686
I ask that you offer
your sister in marriage.
6
00:00:17,687 --> 00:00:20,355
He behaves as if HE were king!
7
00:00:20,356 --> 00:00:22,374
To defeat Kjartan the Cruel,
8
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:26,312
an alliance was formed with
the brothers Erik and Sigefrid.
9
00:00:26,313 --> 00:00:28,372
Kjartan's land will become your land.
10
00:00:28,373 --> 00:00:29,961
To peace.
11
00:00:29,962 --> 00:00:32,820
But Guthred's counsellors
saw me as a threat
12
00:00:32,821 --> 00:00:35,779
and wanted Christian men in the army.
13
00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:39,428
He believes himself to
be above each one of us.
14
00:00:39,429 --> 00:00:42,996
And so a secret bargain
was made with my uncle.
15
00:00:42,997 --> 00:00:44,586
200 spears.
16
00:00:44,587 --> 00:00:48,714
In return I shall require
the head of Osbert.
17
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:50,024
What are you doing?
18
00:00:50,025 --> 00:00:53,303
Guthred showed clemency,
but still betrayed me.
19
00:00:53,304 --> 00:00:56,162
You will become a slave,
Uhtred, and Halig with you.
20
00:00:56,163 --> 00:00:59,580
King Alfred freed my
brother Ragnar to rescue me.
21
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:04,129
But he was too late.
22
00:01:06,269 --> 00:01:07,358
Argh!

00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:08,813

That will not be our
fate... I swear to you.

You think these bastards will
bother digging a hole for you?

We are destined to be tossed
overboard with the rest of the shite.

I'll tell you, Finan,
37
00:02:57,249 --> 00:03:01,046
it would be my own bad luck if
I got tossed overboard alive.
38
00:03:01,047 --> 00:03:02,356

Aelfric, the two brothers,

00:04:31,115 --> 00:04:33,463
We show Kjartan our numbers.

We starve Kjartan of
water, food... life itself.

Who?
61
00:04:47,609 --> 00:04:49,017
Uhtred, Lord.
62
00:04:49,018 --> 00:04:51,356
His name is Osbert.
63
00:04:51,357 --> 00:04:53,656
Did he shit his britches?
64
00:04:53,657 --> 00:04:56,844
Did he beg for mercy? I want to know.
65
00:04:56,845 --> 00:04:58,434
Uhtred would never beg.
66
00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:01,433
- Your queen?
- No.
67
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:03,502
She has a free tongue, Lord Aelfric.
68
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:05,611
She will say nothing more.
69
00:05:05,612 --> 00:05:07,061
Well, l wish to see it.
70
00:05:08,461 --> 00:05:10,949
My nephew's head. Where is it?
71
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:14,318
Where it has always
been. On his shoulders.
72
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,467
Rest assured that Uhtred
is as good as dead.
73
00:05:17,468 --> 00:05:19,386
As good as dead?
74
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:23,135
Then he is still alive?
75
00:05:24,813 --> 00:05:31,655
For the siege of Dunholm, we
agreed 200 spears, for his head.
76
00:05:31,993 --> 00:05:35,181
- That was the bargain.
- Lord, he is a ship's slave.
77
00:05:35,182 --> 00:05:39,249
In reality, Osbert's been given
a fate far, far worse than death.
78
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:42,858
You must understand
Uhtred saved my life.
79
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:45,863
He was my friend.
80
00:05:47,127 --> 00:05:48,486
- Your friend?
- Yes.
81
00:05:48,487 --> 00:05:50,505
Lord, I swear, you shall
never hear from him again.
82
00:05:50,506 --> 00:05:54,154
Perhaps I should make an
ally of Kjartan, once again.
83
00:05:54,155 --> 00:05:57,293
Maybe he will succeed where
you have so wilfully failed.
84
00:05:57,294 --> 00:06:00,531
All I required was a
single, lifeless head.
85
00:06:00,532 --> 00:06:02,311
Lord, may I suggest that you rest?
86
00:06:02,312 --> 00:06:04,280
Aidan, how many days
have we been marching?
87
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,339
- Six days, Lord.
- And you should rest.
88
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:09,108
Six days for no reward!
89
00:06:09,109 --> 00:06:13,177
Lord, rest. Eat. Drink.
90
00:06:13,178 --> 00:06:17,495
There must be something we can
do or offer to make this right.
91
00:06:22,235 --> 00:06:28,141
Lord Aelfric, you will have gathered
by now that my brother is part fool.
92
00:06:31,231 --> 00:06:33,250
You should have nothing
more to do with him.
93
00:06:33,251 --> 00:06:35,309
My sister has humour...
94
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:36,708
and a tongue!
95
00:06:38,819 --> 00:06:40,381
- We leave tomorrow.
- Lord, I beg you...
96
00:06:40,382 --> 00:06:41,984
My business here is over.
97
00:06:43,087 --> 00:06:46,175
Goodbye, Lord Aelfric,
so nice to meet you.

Guthred, by saving Uhtred,
100
00:06:51,714 --> 00:06:54,802
what you now have is a
chaos of your own making.
101
00:06:56,302 --> 00:06:57,991
Chaos.
102
00:06:57,992 --> 00:07:01,459
If Aelfric is not with us
then the ground has shifted.
103
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:03,748
We'll take no part in
the siege of Dunholm.
104
00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:07,457
Erik, we must! We have an
agreement, we have plans.
105
00:07:07,458 --> 00:07:09,566
That will no longer
involve the brothers.
106
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:12,565
No Dunholm means we must
again fight for our wealth.
107
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:14,814
Sigefrid, we do have a peace.
108
00:07:14,815 --> 00:07:16,264
We DO have a peace!
109
00:07:21,043 --> 00:07:23,996
Lord, we are in need of an ally.
110
00:07:24,562 --> 00:07:26,760
You must offer your sister.

00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:32,998
The horses are ready?
112
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:34,257
They are, Lady.
113
00:07:34,258 --> 00:07:37,206
Sihtric, I choose you because
you are loyal to Lord Uhtred.

Always, Lady.
115
00:07:38,427 --> 00:07:41,055
You will give this note
to Hild when she returns.

00:07:42,086 --> 00:07:43,254

Mm-hmm, and to the east?
122
00:08:17,323 --> 00:08:20,891
Danelaw. Above is
Northumbria and Cumbraland,
123
00:08:20,892 --> 00:08:24,029
where pagans rule and threaten
our Christian brothers.
124
00:08:24,030 --> 00:08:26,319
And beyond the Great Wall is
the kingdom that they call Alba,
125
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,618
where it is cold and wild.
126
00:08:28,619 --> 00:08:29,977
Good.
127
00:08:29,978 --> 00:08:33,636
And what do we call
everything south of the wall?
128
00:08:33,637 --> 00:08:35,605
That will one day be England.
129
00:08:35,606 --> 00:08:40,144
Aethelflaed, it would cost a
great deal of both blood and silver

to conquer these lands,
even more to hold the ground.
131
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:47,131
And so alliances must be forged.
132
00:08:48,532 --> 00:08:49,750
Unions made.

00:08:51,161 --> 00:08:52,609

She is not. She did abandon the city.

- I have yet to find out,

You're Uhtred's brother.

It is Guthred.

I am, Lord.

Alfred sent you to do what?
162
00:11:01,393 --> 00:11:03,262
To find Uhtred.

00:11:03,263 --> 00:11:06,640
He is in Uhtred's debt and
will not see him harmed.

00:12:37,649 --> 00:12:39,847
I pray God will keep him safe, Lady.

[HE GRUNTS AND BREATHES HEAVILY]
181
00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:05,108
Osbert, he will not stop bailing.
182
00:13:17,474 --> 00:13:19,162
Rest.
183
00:13:19,163 --> 00:13:20,802
You will need your strength.
184
00:13:22,542 --> 00:13:24,221
I am happy enough to bail.
185
00:13:29,610 --> 00:13:30,878
Hey!

[COMPETING MEN GRUNT]
187
00:13:39,926 --> 00:13:42,544
Oh. Oh, you think you're
better than these men?
188
00:13:43,815 --> 00:13:45,543
They are property.
189
00:13:45,544 --> 00:13:47,372
As are you.
190
00:13:47,373 --> 00:13:49,811
You should let go of your pride.
191
00:13:49,812 --> 00:13:51,451
It will be the death of you.
192
00:13:53,231 --> 00:13:54,450
Rest.
193
00:14:01,288 --> 00:14:04,146
He's right, you should rest.
194
00:14:07,806 --> 00:14:10,004
We're wasting away, you and l.
195
00:14:10,005 --> 00:14:13,143
We should be saving what's
left of our strength to run.
196
00:14:16,433 --> 00:14:20,320
But to run we'll need skin on
our feet and not rotting flesh.
197
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:25,658
Then we should bail.
198
00:14:34,804 --> 00:14:37,382
These wretches all tell
the same story, Lord.
199
00:14:39,902 --> 00:14:42,820
They flee slaughter at
the hands of the brothers.
200
00:14:42,821 --> 00:14:44,929
We must surely be next.
201
00:14:44,930 --> 00:14:46,099
And what do I do?
202
00:14:47,549 --> 00:14:49,378
Do I fight?
203
00:14:49,379 --> 00:14:51,347
Do I now march against the brothers?
204
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:54,676
It is not my place to instruct
a king in the ways of war.
205
00:14:54,677 --> 00:14:57,105
I am asking for your counsel!
206
00:14:57,106 --> 00:15:00,014
I am without a commander of my guard.
207
00:15:00,015 --> 00:15:03,203
Then I would say we need
first to secure grain enough
208
00:15:03,204 --> 00:15:06,062
for the winter to feed these wretches.
209
00:15:06,063 --> 00:15:10,600
And I would say we need Lord Aelfric
of Bebbanburg, now more than ever.
210
00:15:20,957 --> 00:15:24,525
We would appreciate some water,
for ourselves and the horses.
211
00:15:24,526 --> 00:15:25,885
It's yours.
212
00:15:35,302 --> 00:15:37,220
- You are Jonis?
- I am.
213
00:15:37,221 --> 00:15:41,629
I've been told that you took a man,
a warrior, from Guthred of Eoferwic.
214
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:43,178
You sold him as a slave.
215
00:15:43,179 --> 00:15:46,077
I see the faces of so many creatures.
216
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:48,886
- I'm not here to open your belly, Jonis.
- Not yet.
217
00:15:51,286 --> 00:15:53,015
I'll pay you.
218
00:15:53,016 --> 00:15:54,144
Here.
219
00:15:55,965 --> 00:15:58,033
You will not feed the slaves!
220
00:15:58,034 --> 00:16:01,732
And you will not bark
like a great, fat hound!
221
00:16:06,891 --> 00:16:08,289
You said you will pay?
222
00:16:08,290 --> 00:16:09,559
Yes, I did.
223
00:16:14,998 --> 00:16:16,536
A warrior slave,
224
00:16:16,537 --> 00:16:18,176
called himself Osbert.
225
00:16:23,525 --> 00:16:25,253
There was another man.
226
00:16:25,254 --> 00:16:27,322
Smaller, Saxon.
227
00:16:29,003 --> 00:16:32,118
A sea trader named
Sverri took them both.
228
00:16:32,119 --> 00:16:33,183
Where is Sverri now?
229
00:16:33,218 --> 00:16:36,459
Wherever the sea and
promise of silver takes him.
230
00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:39,268
Life at the oar is hard and short.
231
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:43,766
Sverri will return, I'm
sure, refresh his crew.
232
00:16:43,767 --> 00:16:47,145
- When?
- Autumn and winter will pass.
233
00:16:47,146 --> 00:16:53,093
But, come spring, the first
full moon after Sigrblot,
234
00:16:53,094 --> 00:16:55,202
we will gather for
business at the beach.
235
00:16:56,703 --> 00:16:59,181
Sverri will be there, I swear.
236
00:17:01,391 --> 00:17:03,499
And between that time he sails where?
237
00:17:04,570 --> 00:17:07,618
His ships plough the roughest sea.
238
00:17:07,619 --> 00:17:09,637
- He could be any place.
- You tell us nothing.
239
00:17:09,638 --> 00:17:11,676
I tell you what I know to be true.
240
00:17:12,537 --> 00:17:15,305
All you can do is watch
the beaches and wait.
241
00:17:28,661 --> 00:17:30,110
Move it.
242
00:17:30,111 --> 00:17:31,749
It's East Anglia.
243
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:35,927
It could well be Frankia.
244
00:17:40,427 --> 00:17:41,685
Drink water.
245
00:17:42,956 --> 00:17:45,394
- I need land.
- Yes.
246
00:17:45,395 --> 00:17:47,963
Lord, I need land. I need to get out.
247
00:17:47,964 --> 00:17:49,657
- I need land!
- Halig!

00:17:49,658 --> 00:17:51,227
- I need land!
- Back at your place!
249
00:17:51,253 --> 00:17:52,321

tell them you have silver!

255
00:18:14,115 --> 00:18:15,893
Halig. Halig.
256
00:18:15,894 --> 00:18:19,502
- I can't stay on this ship!
- Halig.
257
00:18:19,503 --> 00:18:21,281
You are a warrior.
258
00:18:23,531 --> 00:18:25,969
You followed me into battle at Ethandun.
259
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,288
You fought bravely. Halig!
260
00:18:30,289 --> 00:18:34,646
You saved me from Kjartan's spies
in Cumbraland. Remember that?
261
00:18:36,237 --> 00:18:38,675
I did.
262
00:18:38,676 --> 00:18:39,894
You did.
263
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:43,313
We are warriors!
264
00:18:45,793 --> 00:18:47,252
And our time will come.
265
00:18:49,452 --> 00:18:51,370
Look at me, Halig.
266
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:56,008
You have followed every
order I've ever given you.
267
00:18:56,009 --> 00:18:58,677
Now I'm giving you one more.
268
00:18:58,678 --> 00:18:59,897
You will row.
269
00:19:01,028 --> 00:19:04,675
You will pull and you will
wait and our time will come.
270
00:19:04,676 --> 00:19:06,605
And then together, we shall win.
271
00:19:08,245 --> 00:19:09,504
Together.
272
00:19:31,956 --> 00:19:34,105
Please tell me he's
not here as a suitor.
273
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:37,154
He's Ceolwulf, the father of Mercia.
274
00:19:37,155 --> 00:19:38,283
He is barely alive.
275
00:19:42,922 --> 00:19:44,181
Lord Ceolwulf.
276
00:19:45,821 --> 00:19:49,289
Wessex is honoured to welcome you.
277
00:19:49,290 --> 00:19:51,738
We welcome all of the
ealdormen of Mercia.
278
00:19:51,739 --> 00:19:52,682
We do not.
279
00:19:52,683 --> 00:19:56,338
May our discussions prove to be
beneficial and fruitful for both parties.
280
00:19:56,373 --> 00:19:58,186
Swords, Alfred.
281
00:19:58,997 --> 00:20:02,984
I shall make my point
clear from the outset.
282
00:20:02,985 --> 00:20:04,344
We demand swords...
283
00:20:05,984 --> 00:20:08,232
and the men to carry them.
284
00:20:08,233 --> 00:20:12,351
To help stem the wave upon wave of
raiders, Lord, from the Daneland.
285
00:20:12,352 --> 00:20:13,810
Forgive my interruption.
286
00:20:13,811 --> 00:20:18,728
Mercia lost many a warrior
at Ethandun, and willingly.
287
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,367
I expect repayment.
288
00:20:23,368 --> 00:20:25,666
I hear you, Ceolwulf.
289
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,055
I consider our lands to be one...
290
00:20:28,056 --> 00:20:30,164
No, we are not one.
291
00:20:30,165 --> 00:20:34,003
We are Mercia and you are Wessex.
292
00:20:37,423 --> 00:20:39,491
Refreshment?
293
00:20:39,492 --> 00:20:40,421
Swords!
294
00:20:42,161 --> 00:20:44,549
I will not be silenced.
295
00:20:44,550 --> 00:20:48,488
Lord Ceolwulf, perhaps a seat?
It has been a long journey.
296
00:20:48,489 --> 00:20:49,937
It has.
297
00:20:51,907 --> 00:20:52,936
For a purpose.
298
00:20:55,186 --> 00:20:56,825
I understand completely
299
00:20:56,826 --> 00:21:01,093
that at times the east of Mercia
is overrun with Viking raiders.
300
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:03,992
We suffer the same fate
along our northern border.
301
00:21:03,993 --> 00:21:06,431
What of your warrior Uhtred?
302
00:21:07,792 --> 00:21:10,180
He is a leader of men.
303
00:21:10,181 --> 00:21:13,179
Dispatch him to our
border with Daneland.
304
00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:16,607
Uhtred and 50 men, I will accept.
305
00:21:19,317 --> 00:21:23,865
Uhtred was last seen in Northumbria,
Lord, the place of his birth.
306
00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:25,224
Northumbria?
307
00:21:26,395 --> 00:21:30,572
You can send men to the far
north but not to your neighbour?
308
00:21:32,253 --> 00:21:34,411
Lord Ceolwulf.
309
00:21:34,412 --> 00:21:38,110
The solution to our
problem, I feel, is a bond.
310
00:21:38,111 --> 00:21:40,269
The solution...
311
00:21:40,270 --> 00:21:42,278
is swords and men.
312
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,467
A permanent bond between
Wessex and Mercia.
313
00:21:45,468 --> 00:21:46,827
A union, Lord.
314
00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:48,326
Swords!
315
00:21:48,327 --> 00:21:51,325
How many times do I need to say it?!
316
00:21:51,326 --> 00:21:54,284
How many times am I to be ignored?!
317
00:21:54,285 --> 00:21:56,343
Lord Ceolwulf, you have read my letters?
318
00:21:58,783 --> 00:22:00,092
Lord Ceolwulf?
319
00:22:00,093 --> 00:22:02,671
Yes, of course I have read your letters.
320
00:22:05,621 --> 00:22:07,779
You're looking for a buck!
321
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:09,038
A match, Lord.
322
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,528
And I have a name for you right here...
323
00:22:13,258 --> 00:22:15,276
in a letter of my own.
324
00:22:15,277 --> 00:22:17,425
A good man, godly man.
325
00:22:17,426 --> 00:22:19,585
Mercian stock,
326
00:22:19,586 --> 00:22:22,164
like the lady Aelswith.
327
00:22:24,084 --> 00:22:26,612
But what guarantee do I have...
328
00:22:27,973 --> 00:22:31,770
that Mercia will not become
a mere appendage of Wessex?
329
00:22:33,221 --> 00:22:35,099
A poor cousin?
330
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:36,688
We are a kingdom.
331
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:38,938
Lord, your first concern
should be that you do not become
332
00:22:38,939 --> 00:22:40,577
an appendage to Daneland.
333
00:22:40,578 --> 00:22:46,855
And who was it agreed to
this thing called Daneland?!
334
00:22:46,856 --> 00:22:48,314
It was you.
335
00:22:49,905 --> 00:22:53,043
It was Alfred,
336
00:22:53,044 --> 00:22:57,921
and now it is Mercia that suffers most.
337
00:22:57,922 --> 00:22:59,897
- Swords you demand, Lord.
- I do.
338
00:22:59,898 --> 00:23:01,594
- And swords you shall have.
- How many?
339
00:23:01,629 --> 00:23:04,109
Wessex could never
turn away from Mercia.
340
00:23:04,110 --> 00:23:07,667
It would be akin to Alfred
turning away from Aelswith.
341
00:23:08,978 --> 00:23:11,746
It could never occur,
Lord Ceolwulf. Never.
342
00:23:11,747 --> 00:23:12,865
What is this?
343
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:19,573
Each time I talk of swords
and spears and yet you insist
344
00:23:19,574 --> 00:23:21,822
on speaking of unions...
345
00:23:23,363 --> 00:23:24,771
and of ki...
346
00:23:27,251 --> 00:23:29,969
A cup of water for Lord Ceolwulf.
347
00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:31,659
A cup of water?

I believe the King of Wessex...
542
00:43:36,819 --> 00:43:38,367
cares for you.
543
00:43:41,457 --> 00:43:44,645
You're Uhtred's brother?
544
00:43:44,646 --> 00:43:46,284
I am.
545
00:43:46,285 --> 00:43:48,814
You look nothing like each other.
546
00:43:48,815 --> 00:43:50,743
[CHUCKLING]
547
00:43:52,753 --> 00:43:54,302
Uhtred, you should eat.
548
00:43:58,521 --> 00:44:00,209
Finan.
549
00:44:00,210 --> 00:44:05,268
Oh, we will eat, Lady, but our
tummies are small and our feet
550
00:44:05,269 --> 00:44:08,217
have barely touched dry land.
551
00:44:08,218 --> 00:44:10,286
It'll take a little time to find them.
552
00:44:12,106 --> 00:44:14,454
Are you his brother?
553
00:44:14,455 --> 00:44:15,814
We are...
554
00:44:19,144 --> 00:44:21,852
We are bound, I would say.
555
00:45:16,643 --> 00:45:17,811
Up.
556
00:45:17,812 --> 00:45:19,961
You've been asleep for a day or more.
557
00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:24,509
I can do it.
558
00:45:31,677 --> 00:45:33,276
[HE SIGHS DEEPLY]
559
00:45:43,163 --> 00:45:44,752
Take off your clothes.
560
00:46:49,609 --> 00:46:52,377
You have not looked me in the eye,
561
00:46:52,378 --> 00:46:53,637
not once.
562
00:46:56,786 --> 00:46:58,895
I am ashamed of what I became.
563
00:47:25,416 --> 00:47:28,134
You are Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
564
00:47:28,135 --> 00:47:29,534
Lord of Bebbanburg.
565
00:47:31,034 --> 00:47:32,962
It's time you remembered that.
566
00:47:36,332 --> 00:47:38,680
You kept the blade sharp.
567
00:47:38,681 --> 00:47:40,130
I knew you'd return.
568
00:47:48,378 --> 00:47:50,626
She is heavier than I remember.
569
00:47:54,426 --> 00:47:56,484
How did Alfred come to know of my fate?
570
00:47:58,174 --> 00:47:59,393
You?
571
00:48:01,353 --> 00:48:02,762
I will not forget.
572
00:48:06,981 --> 00:48:10,069
You will always have my protection.
573
00:48:10,070 --> 00:48:11,668
I could not ask for more.
574
00:48:13,169 --> 00:48:14,287
And this...
575
00:48:16,498 --> 00:48:17,946
This is my gift to you.
576
00:48:27,324 --> 00:48:28,582
Protection.
577
00:48:43,108 --> 00:48:45,496
You are too good a woman for God alone.
578
00:48:49,436 --> 00:48:51,214
Uhtred, it IS you.
579
00:49:12,537 --> 00:49:14,366
The apples are beginning
to fall without...
580
00:49:14,367 --> 00:49:15,865
- Shh...
- picking.
581
00:49:23,083 --> 00:49:26,831
Here we are, Brothers, God's gift.
582
00:49:26,832 --> 00:49:28,890
Thank you, Mother, most generous.
583
00:49:28,891 --> 00:49:31,329
You have been to Cumbraland, you say?
584
00:49:31,330 --> 00:49:32,969
We have, and without luck.
585
00:49:35,179 --> 00:49:37,897
And you've had no strangers
calling to your door, Mother?
586
00:49:37,898 --> 00:49:42,715
Strangers, yes, traders
and wretches, but no ladies.
587
00:49:47,685 --> 00:49:48,903
Hmm.
588
00:49:56,121 --> 00:49:57,710
You have an appetite, Lord.
589
00:49:57,711 --> 00:50:00,199
Mmm. I do.
590
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,419
It's good.
591
00:50:03,289 --> 00:50:04,417
I'm pleased.
592
00:50:08,257 --> 00:50:09,476
Alfred waits...
593
00:50:10,976 --> 00:50:12,105
for your return.
594
00:50:15,055 --> 00:50:16,973
We have business here, Steapa.
595
00:50:18,523 --> 00:50:21,591
- In the north.
- I gave my word we go to Wessex.
596
00:50:22,782 --> 00:50:24,750
But we're here, now.
597
00:50:24,751 --> 00:50:28,079
I gave my word. We
go directly to Wessex.
598
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:29,818
Kjartan can wait, and Thyra...
599
00:50:31,409 --> 00:50:33,147
must wait.
600
00:50:33,148 --> 00:50:34,407
And Gisela?
601
00:50:36,427 --> 00:50:38,255
What of her?
602
00:50:38,256 --> 00:50:39,325
She's safe.
603
00:50:40,595 --> 00:50:43,643
She waits for you at
the nunnery at Ebchester.
604
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:08,568
- No.
- Seize her!
605
00:51:08,569 --> 00:51:10,348
No. No!
606
00:51:14,617 --> 00:51:16,915
No, I will not! No!
607
00:51:16,916 --> 00:51:19,534
Hold her! Hold her fast.
608
00:51:19,535 --> 00:51:22,023
Stand beside her and we
shall have her married.
609
00:51:22,024 --> 00:51:23,093
You have no right!
610
00:51:23,094 --> 00:51:26,282
I have every right,
and you will be quiet.
611
00:51:26,283 --> 00:51:29,191
Aelfric's man, stand beside her.
612
00:51:29,192 --> 00:51:31,630
We shall have her married
to Aelfric right now.
613
00:51:31,631 --> 00:51:32,749
Without a husband, Lord?
614
00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:35,279
I will not marry against
my will! You cannot...
615
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,018
Do not strike the poor girl!
616
00:51:37,019 --> 00:51:39,877
Do as you're told and as God commands!
617
00:51:39,878 --> 00:51:41,986
Beside her, as proxy.
618
00:51:41,987 --> 00:51:44,325
You'll stand in for Lord Aelfric.
619
00:51:47,275 --> 00:51:51,823
We shall dispense with the joining
of hands. You may take her arm.
620
00:51:56,182 --> 00:51:58,710
I will not be party to this.
621
00:51:58,711 --> 00:52:00,030
I will not marry...
622
00:52:00,031 --> 00:52:02,089
And we shall dispense with the vows.

[HORSES APPROACH]
624
00:52:15,585 --> 00:52:19,383
I hereby proclaim Lady Gisela
of Cumbraland and Lord Aelfric
625
00:52:19,384 --> 00:52:21,252
of Bebbanburg to be man and wife.
626
00:52:21,253 --> 00:52:22,751
- Gisela!
- Uhtred?
627
00:52:24,162 --> 00:52:25,470
Uhtred, I'm here!
628
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,159
- Uhtred.
- You will let her go.
629
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,778
- You are too late.
- You will let her go.
630
00:52:32,779 --> 00:52:34,937
She is married now.
She belongs to Aelfric.
631
00:52:34,938 --> 00:52:37,746
- It is a lie, Uhtred.
- Where is Aelfric?
632
00:52:37,747 --> 00:52:39,575
If he is not here, then
he cannot be married.
633
00:52:39,576 --> 00:52:42,014
By proxy, you fool.
634
00:52:42,015 --> 00:52:44,733
This man stood beside
her in place of Aelfric.
635
00:52:44,734 --> 00:52:47,173
Uhtred, in the eyes
of God, she is married.
636
00:52:47,174 --> 00:52:48,622
Did you hump her for Aelfric?
637
00:52:48,623 --> 00:52:51,061
- He did not.
- Then there's no marriage, it's a lie.
638
00:52:51,062 --> 00:52:54,100
She is married and it cannot be undone.
639
00:52:54,101 --> 00:52:56,449
- Make her a widow.
- No!
640
00:52:56,450 --> 00:52:58,888
Gisela is married to
Aelfric. Not to Aidan.
641
00:52:58,889 --> 00:53:01,927
I have a wife already. A different wife.
642
00:53:01,928 --> 00:53:04,276
Uhtred, I'm bored with this.
643
00:53:04,277 --> 00:53:05,586
Kill them all.
644
00:53:21,661 --> 00:53:25,029
Do as you wish. In sight
of God, she's married.
645
00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:27,238
Say "she's married" again.
646
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,458
She's married.
647
00:53:31,597 --> 00:53:34,545
- She's what?
- She is married.
648
00:53:34,546 --> 00:53:35,625
Uhtred!
649
00:53:35,626 --> 00:53:37,264
- Is she married?
- Yes!
650
00:53:38,955 --> 00:53:40,353
He is a man of God!
651
00:53:40,354 --> 00:53:43,732
Say it one more time, priest, and
I swear the devil will take you.
652
00:53:43,733 --> 00:53:47,481
You're nothing but a heathen
and the bitch is married!
653
00:54:07,304 --> 00:54:08,423
You!
654
00:54:12,503 --> 00:54:13,861
You will go to my uncle...
655
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:18,359
and when he asks of his wife,
656
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,548
you will tell him she's in the
bed of Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
657
00:54:39,661 --> 00:54:43,857
_
658
00:54:44,041 --> 00:54:45,780
I trust you are in health.
659
00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:48,818
I improve with each passing day.
660
00:54:51,209 --> 00:54:53,227
- And you, Lord?
- God afflicts me.
661
00:54:54,307 --> 00:54:57,115
But there is purpose in
that, so I must be glad of it.
662
00:54:59,416 --> 00:55:01,564
Earl Ragnar, he is a good man.
663
00:55:02,884 --> 00:55:05,133
I should like to free
both him and Brida.
664
00:55:07,563 --> 00:55:08,691
Thank you, Lord...
665
00:55:09,772 --> 00:55:12,770
- for all you have done.
- What do you think of my candles?
666
00:55:15,210 --> 00:55:17,638
I find them to be more
effective at night.
667
00:55:20,738 --> 00:55:23,126
I have missed your childish insolence.
668
00:55:24,626 --> 00:55:26,635
I'm trying to measure
the passing of time.
669
00:55:26,636 --> 00:55:30,993
I'm hoping to find a candle
that burns from midday to midday.
670
00:55:34,133 --> 00:55:36,481
Lord, why did you have me rescued?
671
00:55:36,482 --> 00:55:38,960
- Why have you brought me here?
- I had you rescued firstly because
672
00:55:38,961 --> 00:55:42,429
I was able, and secondly, because
it is no more than you deserved.
673
00:55:44,069 --> 00:55:47,777
Though I admit, I would like
you in my service once again.
674
00:55:53,116 --> 00:55:55,414
I am grateful, of course...
675
00:55:57,854 --> 00:55:59,863
but I have my own path to follow.
676
00:55:59,864 --> 00:56:01,502
- Destiny.
- Destiny, Lord.
677
00:56:04,222 --> 00:56:06,000
You killed the Abbot Eadred.
678
00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:11,958
According to the words of
Brother Trew and others.
679
00:56:11,959 --> 00:56:13,028
He was a weasel, Lord.
680
00:56:13,029 --> 00:56:15,106
A weasel without a sword, a holy weasel.
681
00:56:15,107 --> 00:56:16,307
Who deserved to die.
682
00:56:16,318 --> 00:56:18,236
You killed him on blessed ground.
683
00:56:18,237 --> 00:56:19,456
He was an abbot.
684
00:56:21,326 --> 00:56:23,484
However, you were in the
company of Earl Ragnar,
685
00:56:23,485 --> 00:56:26,343
in the charge of Earl Ragnar,
who was under my orders and whom
686
00:56:26,344 --> 00:56:29,952
I hold responsible for the
killing of Abbot Eadred.
687
00:56:29,953 --> 00:56:31,681
No.
688
00:56:31,682 --> 00:56:33,371
No, Lord, it was me and me alone.
689
00:56:33,372 --> 00:56:34,590
Why did he not stop you?
690
00:56:34,591 --> 00:56:36,699
Lord, you cannot blame
Ragnar for the Abbot's death.
691
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:37,959
Yes, I can, and I do...
692
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,675
- That is unfair.
- He will stand trial.
693
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:40,778
No.
694
00:56:50,385 --> 00:56:52,494
You are a great warrior, Uhtred.
695
00:56:54,174 --> 00:56:56,102
You are a Saxon who is also a Dane,
696
00:56:56,103 --> 00:56:59,051
the very embodiment of the
England that must emerge.
697
00:57:01,491 --> 00:57:03,780
I request that you enter my service.
698
00:57:07,439 --> 00:57:08,658
Lord.
699
00:57:09,878 --> 00:57:11,237
I have been a slave.
700
00:57:13,207 --> 00:57:14,796
I wish to remain a free man.
701
00:57:14,797 --> 00:57:17,375
What is it that you
wish for Earl Ragnar?
702
00:57:17,376 --> 00:57:19,814
- Lord, please.
- A man of God was slaughtered.
703
00:57:19,815 --> 00:57:22,153
That cannot be ignored,
Someone must answer.
704
00:57:22,154 --> 00:57:23,892
It will be you...
705
00:57:23,893 --> 00:57:25,572
or it will be Earl Ragnar.
706
00:57:26,982 --> 00:57:28,501
You may choose.
707
00:57:30,641 --> 00:57:32,139
Your sword, Uhtred.
708
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,057
You can be a free
man, within my service.
709
00:57:37,058 --> 00:57:39,117
Ragnar goes free?
710
00:57:39,118 --> 00:57:40,476
He has earned it.
711
00:57:43,196 --> 00:57:44,505
Swear.
712
00:57:50,174 --> 00:57:51,492
I, Uhtred of Bebban...
713
00:57:51,493 --> 00:57:53,132
It is the custom to kneel.
714
00:58:08,737 --> 00:58:13,564
I, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, pledge
my sword to you, Alfred of Wessex.
