of a slave who would be king.

- I am Guthred.
5
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:16,382
I visited the Danes in the
guise of a dead horseman
6
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:18,611

but I wish to serve you.

You are Kjartan's man.

No.
352
00:28:22,067 --> 00:28:25,526
I'm Kjartan's bastard son
who whelped on a slave girl.
353
00:28:25,671 --> 00:28:28,300
And you are Uhtred Ragnarson.
354
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,309
And I wish to serve a
warrior and a lord. A true lord.

- Put down your sword.

- Kill him.
- No.

I can be of use to you, lord.

but a heathen. Kill him!

- No one is to move.
- Kill him now!

one is to speak but me. No one!

serves in King Guthred's army.

- Is Aelfric not our enemy?
- Hmm.

He is our enemy solely
because he is Uhtred's enemy

The king is a man
of the one true God.
513

His preference is that
we come to an agreement.

It will need to be a
handsome agreement.
515

Make your offer.

00:42:13,498 --> 00:42:17,265
- Kjartan's land will become your land.
- You offer nothing.
521
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:19,303
Dunholm is too strong,
it cannot be taken.
522
00:42:19,404 --> 00:42:23,739
What I am offering you,
Sigefrid, is life. Life as an earl!
523
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:28,006
The only way to defeat Kjartan
is to deny him food and freedom.
524
00:42:28,146 --> 00:42:31,514
We, my brother and I,
have considered this often.
525
00:42:31,616 --> 00:42:35,451
You would need to surround
him with men, with defences
526
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:37,385
and deny him what
he needs to live.
527
00:42:37,522 --> 00:42:42,620
Yes, all your men would need to
be fed and remain sober for months.
528
00:42:42,994 --> 00:42:46,556
It would take too much time and too
many men, some hundreds of men.
529
00:42:47,999 --> 00:42:49,900
- But it can be done?
- There are other ways.
530
00:42:50,001 --> 00:42:53,529
It can be done, yes.
531
00:42:58,509 --> 00:43:00,034
Then that is what we do.
532
00:43:00,178 --> 00:43:02,340
UHTRED: Lord, this is not a plan
533
00:43:02,447 --> 00:43:04,939
that can be decided upon
quickly. There are other ways.
534
00:43:05,049 --> 00:43:08,315
Uhtred, as the king explained
earlier, you do not have a voice.
535
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:10,547
I will say what's on
my mind and clearly!
536
00:43:11,722 --> 00:43:15,386
This plan can never work. There
are other ways to defeat Kjartan.
537
00:43:15,526 --> 00:43:19,759
It seems everyone is wrong
but you, Uhtred Ragnarson.
538
00:43:21,866 --> 00:43:24,859
Do we have a plan, King Guthred?
539
00:43:26,737 --> 00:43:28,330
Yes.
540
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,402
We have a plan and
we have an agreement.
541
00:43:32,543 --> 00:43:34,409
Do we not?
542
00:43:34,879 --> 00:43:36,677
We do.
543
00:43:36,814 --> 00:43:40,148
- Excellent.
- SIGEFRID: In addition to Dunholm,
544
00:43:40,485 --> 00:43:43,080
how many women
will you be offering?
545
00:43:44,589 --> 00:43:48,287
None. Most definitely none.
546
00:43:48,426 --> 00:43:50,895
SIGEFRID: Your
hair is unbound lady.
547
00:43:51,028 --> 00:43:53,293
You do not have a husband?
548
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:57,060
My sister will marry
when appropriate.

00:44:01,806 --> 00:44:05,800
Well, hopefully we will be
bonded for a long, long time.

553
00:44:14,252 --> 00:44:15,481
To peace.
554
00:44:42,313 --> 00:44:44,282
UHTRED: Once
we are settled, lord,
555
00:44:44,415 --> 00:44:47,510
there are matters I would
like to discuss, privately.
556
00:44:47,652 --> 00:44:50,645
Of course, just as
soon as we're settled.
557
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:55,554
EADRED: See the power
of the blessed saint, lord.
558
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:57,252
In carrying him before you,
559
00:44:57,562 --> 00:45:01,499
he has given you this city without
a single drop of blood being shed.
560
00:45:03,134 --> 00:45:06,935
All that is required now
is that we praise him.
561
00:45:07,672 --> 00:45:10,107
Will you join me
in prayer, my lord?
562
00:45:10,241 --> 00:45:12,540
I will, Abbot Eadred. I will.
563
00:45:28,793 --> 00:45:30,193
UHTRED: Sihtric.
564
00:45:34,498 --> 00:45:36,524
SIHTRIC: Yes, lord?
565
00:45:36,667 --> 00:45:40,661
Kjartan's fortress at Dunholm,
you will tell me of the weaknesses.
566
00:45:40,771 --> 00:45:42,467
There are none, lord.
567
00:45:46,277 --> 00:45:49,179
Lord, there are no weaknesses.
568
00:45:49,313 --> 00:45:51,805
There are always weaknesses.
569
00:45:59,223 --> 00:46:01,124
UHTRED: I will see for myself.
570
00:46:07,531 --> 00:46:09,796
EADRED: Uhtred, I believe,
is a threat to your crown,
571
00:46:09,934 --> 00:46:12,199
a threat even greater
than the brothers, perhaps.
572
00:46:12,336 --> 00:46:16,103
No. No, I do not see that.
573
00:46:18,542 --> 00:46:20,977
I am indebted to Uhtred.
574
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:24,014
Lord, we are all in his debt.
575
00:46:25,383 --> 00:46:30,617
But in helping to free you,
did he not also act for himself?
576
00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:34,559
He believes himself to
be above each one of us
577
00:46:34,659 --> 00:46:36,252
and he is loved by the men.
578
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:38,357
They will follow him.
579
00:46:42,266 --> 00:46:46,260
I have to say I worry that Bebbanburg
will not be enough for such a man.
580
00:46:47,371 --> 00:46:51,331
He's a warrior.
Warriors crave war.
581
00:46:53,611 --> 00:46:59,209
Whereas we know that Bebbanburg
is quite enough for his uncle.
582
00:47:01,819 --> 00:47:08,020
If it were not for Uhtred, we would
have no quarrel with Aelfric. None.
583
00:47:08,192 --> 00:47:12,653
The opposite would
apply. He would be an ally.
584
00:47:14,298 --> 00:47:18,793
As for the plan to lay siege to
Dunholm, I do believe it to be sound,
585
00:47:18,903 --> 00:47:22,635
but it will require
many further men,
586
00:47:22,773 --> 00:47:26,733
and they must be men
who will not be tempted
587
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:29,814
to join either
Sigefrid or Uhtred.
588
00:47:29,914 --> 00:47:30,973
Yes.
589
00:47:31,082 --> 00:47:34,052
May I suggest, lord, that
you summon Christian men?
590
00:47:35,052 --> 00:47:38,250
Christian men, yes, of
course. And from where?

on it, lord, hmm?

Let us both think on it.
594
00:48:17,461 --> 00:48:19,953
He is a warrior now, my nephew?

BROTHER TREW: He
is, lord, with a reputation.
596
00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:24,862
A fearsome reputation.
597
00:48:27,905 --> 00:48:30,465
- He talks of me?
- BROTHER TREW: Often, lord.
598
00:48:30,574 --> 00:48:33,066
- Oh?
- Without affection.
599
00:48:35,446 --> 00:48:37,779
Wants to tear me
apart, no doubt?
600
00:48:37,915 --> 00:48:39,884
That is the impression
he gives, lord, yes.
601
00:48:44,889 --> 00:48:47,950
Your king's intention
regarding Bebbanburg is what?
602
00:48:48,092 --> 00:48:50,789
The Abbot Eadred, who
advises the king, is for peace.
603
00:48:50,928 --> 00:48:51,928
Mm-hmm.
604
00:48:52,129 --> 00:48:56,396
However, the abbot is on one
shoulder, your nephew is on the other.
605
00:48:56,534 --> 00:48:58,469
And Uhtred wishes me dead.
606
00:49:00,471 --> 00:49:01,939
He will not rest,
607
00:49:02,072 --> 00:49:04,007
I know it.
608
00:49:04,141 --> 00:49:06,474
I've always known it.
609
00:49:09,547 --> 00:49:12,676
We fear he covets not
just Bebbanburg, lord,
610
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:14,684
but the whole of Northumbria.
611
00:49:15,953 --> 00:49:19,913

- AELFRIC: It is.

613
00:49:29,133 --> 00:49:33,366
Tell your king, tell the abbot,
614
00:49:33,504 --> 00:49:35,496
I am open to an alliance.

00:49:35,606 --> 00:49:38,166
If King Guthred were to
raise an army against Kjartan,
616
00:49:38,342 --> 00:49:40,402
I would be prepared
to add to that army.

My business with the
Danes has long since finished.

In return, I shall require
the head of Osbert.

- Osbert, lord?
- My nephew's name is Osbert.

There shall be no more talk
of Uhtred. He's not the heir.

692
00:56:12,803 --> 00:56:13,896
HALIG: Hild, no!
693
00:56:14,004 --> 00:56:16,701
No, Hild, put down your
sword! Put it down now!
694
00:56:16,807 --> 00:56:19,436
- What shall I do, lord?
- You do nothing.
695
00:56:19,810 --> 00:56:23,804
Hild, my sword. And find Gisela!
696
00:56:27,050 --> 00:56:28,177
(PANTS)
697
00:56:30,587 --> 00:56:32,647
- Lady Gisela?
- Is it true they have taken Uhtred?
698
00:56:33,023 --> 00:56:35,424
- Out of the way, this is God's work.
- It is!
699
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:38,620
Then you must help
him, you are his only hope!
700
00:56:42,466 --> 00:56:45,595
Guthred! Guthred, whatever
your plans, change them.
701
00:56:45,736 --> 00:56:47,762
You are to be sold.
702
00:56:47,871 --> 00:56:50,340
We're to be sold? Why?
703
00:56:51,008 --> 00:56:53,273
Lord, we are your
army, we saved you!
704
00:56:53,410 --> 00:56:58,041
It's not lost on me that while you gave
me my freedom, I am now taking yours.
705
00:56:59,383 --> 00:57:01,682
- You will become a slave, Uhtred.
- No!
706
00:57:01,818 --> 00:57:04,253
- GUTHRED: And Halig with you.
- UHTRED: No!
707
00:57:04,421 --> 00:57:06,501
No, you have no argument
with Halig, let him go free.
708
00:57:06,590 --> 00:57:08,149
No, lord. I will
stay beside you!
709
00:57:08,258 --> 00:57:11,251
UHTRED: Guthred, let him
go free. I beg you! (GROANS)
710
00:57:12,829 --> 00:57:14,661
GUTHRED: You see?
711
00:57:14,798 --> 00:57:18,496
This is the reason why you're
being caged. You inspire loyalty.
712
00:57:18,869 --> 00:57:21,202
You inspire loyalty from my men.
713
00:57:21,305 --> 00:57:23,297
UHTRED: Guthred,
I gave you my word.
714
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,968
- My sword!
- But what I need is 200 swords!
715
00:57:27,311 --> 00:57:31,214
I need 200 men,
and that is your worth.
716
00:57:31,448 --> 00:57:34,509
Two hundred Christian
men of Bebbanburg.
717
00:57:35,986 --> 00:57:37,818
My uncle, Aelfric?
718
00:57:37,921 --> 00:57:39,389
GUTHRED: He asked for your head.
719
00:57:40,457 --> 00:57:43,916
But slavery will be
enough, I'm sure.
720
00:57:44,061 --> 00:57:47,657
It would be better to kill
me, but you lack the courage.
721
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:50,366
Kill me. Sword in hand!
722
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:52,333
My sister would
never forgive me.
723
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:53,732
Kill me!
724
00:57:55,005 --> 00:57:58,305
Goodbye... Osbert.
725
00:57:59,843 --> 00:58:04,440
Guthred, you should kill
me or I will return, I swear!
726
00:58:05,816 --> 00:58:06,943
Guthred!
727
00:58:08,285 --> 00:58:10,015
Guthred, you should kill me!
728
00:58:10,687 --> 00:58:12,747
(GRUNTS)
729
00:58:47,958 --> 00:58:49,290
He is lost, Hild.
730
00:58:49,393 --> 00:58:51,988
I do not readily see
how I can help him.
731
00:58:52,129 --> 00:58:54,325
- You cannot.
- But, lord...
732
00:58:54,464 --> 00:58:56,899
Hild, he could be
across the seas by now.
733
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,128
It cannot be true, he is Uhtred.
734
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:04,565
- Lord, I will search for him.
- For how long, Beocca?
735
00:59:04,741 --> 00:59:08,439
For as long as is necessary.
For a lifetime. Why not?
736
00:59:08,545 --> 00:59:13,415
Beocca, the task is near impossible
and, with respect, it is beyond you.
737
00:59:13,583 --> 00:59:16,781
- AELSWITH: He is lost, Father.
- AETHELFLAED: No!
738
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,515
Father, it is Uhtred.
739
00:59:19,823 --> 00:59:22,452
- He kept us safe in the...
- Aethelflaed, shush.
740
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,152
AETHELFLAED: He
did not abandon us,
741
00:59:24,294 --> 00:59:26,729
- and we should not abandon...
- You will be silent now.
742
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:32,025
ALFRED: My dear, it is not
that I wish to abandon him,
743
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:33,893
it is how do I find him?
744
00:59:34,037 --> 00:59:39,442
Lord, what of his
brother, Ragnar?
745
00:59:39,576 --> 00:59:41,408
Would he not
wish to find Uhtred?
746
00:59:41,578 --> 00:59:45,015
And he is more capable
than Father Beocca.
747
00:59:45,148 --> 00:59:46,548
Yes.
748
00:59:47,184 --> 00:59:50,052
- Yes.
- AELSWITH: Ragnar is a hostage.
749
00:59:50,187 --> 00:59:51,746
And a man of his word.
750
00:59:51,855 --> 00:59:57,988
Could he not remain a hostage
whilst outside of Winchester?
751
01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:20,050
Earl Ragnar. I
have a task for you.
752
01:00:22,619 --> 01:00:24,212
And you alone.
753
01:00:31,161 --> 01:00:32,424
GUARD: Move it!
754
01:00:33,964 --> 01:00:35,262
Move!
755
01:00:49,646 --> 01:00:50,646
(GRUNTS)
756
01:00:51,314 --> 01:00:53,249
- You are no longer a warrior.

757
01:00:53,383 --> 01:00:56,012
- (YELLS)
- You belong to me now.
