I travelled north to Cumberland,
3
00:00:05,306 --> 00:00:08,578

a slave who would be king.

Is it you? I am Guthred.
5
00:00:11,364 --> 00:00:14,704
I visited the Danes in the
guise of a dead horseman,
6
00:00:14,729 --> 00:00:17,243

revenge for what they lost,

Whether man against man,

Anything below the knee is vulnerable.

A strike to the ankle won't kill you,

Thank you. We have benefited
greatly from Ubba's death.
541
00:39:29,024 --> 00:39:30,063
He has not been mourned.
542
00:39:30,064 --> 00:39:33,063
Danes, Northmen and Saxons.
543
00:39:33,064 --> 00:39:36,153
Priests, pagans... a strange mix.
544
00:39:36,154 --> 00:39:38,654
You might not know this, but...
545
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:40,233
in your absence,
546
00:39:40,497 --> 00:39:44,793
all Danes and Northmen in Eoferwic
have either been killed or fled.
547
00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:47,458
Eoferwic will be mine.
548
00:39:48,624 --> 00:39:51,181
There will be no fight... none.
549
00:39:51,206 --> 00:39:54,325
Unless it's with Sigefrid and Erik.
550
00:39:56,634 --> 00:39:59,517
I will fight you...
551
00:39:59,542 --> 00:40:00,812
and I will win.
552
00:40:00,837 --> 00:40:02,643
Then why are you talking?
553
00:40:02,644 --> 00:40:05,963
The king is a man of the one true God...
554
00:40:05,964 --> 00:40:08,798
his preference is that
we come to an agreement.
555
00:40:08,874 --> 00:40:11,592
It will need to be a handsome agreement.
556
00:40:11,624 --> 00:40:13,045
Make your offer.
557
00:40:13,241 --> 00:40:15,515
In exchange for peace,
558
00:40:15,540 --> 00:40:18,483
in compensation for
the loss of Eoferwic,
559
00:40:19,053 --> 00:40:21,717
I will offer you a fortress,
560
00:40:22,251 --> 00:40:23,708
at Dunholm.
561
00:40:23,733 --> 00:40:25,770
- Kjartan is at Dunholm.
- Yes.
562
00:40:25,795 --> 00:40:28,183
We will join together
and we will take it.
563
00:40:28,184 --> 00:40:30,443
Kjartan's land will become your land.
564
00:40:30,444 --> 00:40:32,223
You offer nothing.
565
00:40:32,248 --> 00:40:33,972
Dunholm is too strong,
it cannot be taken.
566
00:40:33,997 --> 00:40:36,956
What I am offering
you, Sigefrid, is life,
567
00:40:36,981 --> 00:40:38,925
life as an Earl!
568
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:42,848
The only way to defeat Kjartan
is to deny him food and freedom.
569
00:40:42,873 --> 00:40:45,840
We, my brother and I,
have considered this often.
570
00:40:45,865 --> 00:40:49,637
You would need to surround
him with men, with defences,
571
00:40:49,754 --> 00:40:51,393
and deny him what he needs to live.
572
00:40:51,418 --> 00:40:55,676
Yes, all your men would need
to be fed and remain sober,
573
00:40:55,701 --> 00:40:57,091
for months.
574
00:40:57,116 --> 00:40:59,083
It would take too much
time and too many men,
575
00:40:59,108 --> 00:41:01,044
some hundreds of men.
576
00:41:01,687 --> 00:41:04,076
- But it can be done?
- There are other ways.
577
00:41:04,101 --> 00:41:07,206
It can be done, yes.
578
00:41:11,646 --> 00:41:13,005
Then that is what we do.
579
00:41:13,006 --> 00:41:16,285
Lord, this is not a plan that
can be decided upon quickly.
580
00:41:16,286 --> 00:41:17,581
There are other ways!
581
00:41:17,606 --> 00:41:20,839
Uhtred, as the king explained
earlier, you do not have a voice...
582
00:41:20,864 --> 00:41:23,784
I will say what's on
my mind and clearly!
583
00:41:24,620 --> 00:41:27,765
This plan can never work... there
are other ways to defeat Kjartan.
584
00:41:27,790 --> 00:41:30,751
It seems everyone is wrong but you,
585
00:41:30,776 --> 00:41:32,649
Uhtred Ragnarson.
586
00:41:33,759 --> 00:41:37,578
Do we have a plan, King Guthred?
587
00:41:38,646 --> 00:41:40,145
Yes,
588
00:41:40,289 --> 00:41:42,571
we have a plan...
589
00:41:42,596 --> 00:41:46,039
and we have an agreement, do we not?
590
00:41:46,586 --> 00:41:48,205
We do.
591
00:41:48,206 --> 00:41:49,425
Excellent.
592
00:41:49,426 --> 00:41:51,985
In addition to Dunholm,
593
00:41:52,416 --> 00:41:54,805
how many women will you be offering?
594
00:41:55,706 --> 00:41:59,455
None. Most definitely, none.
595
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,735
Your hair is unbound, lady.
596
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,727
You do not have a husband?
597
00:42:05,276 --> 00:42:08,102
My sister will marry when appropriate.
598
00:42:09,541 --> 00:42:10,710
[HE CHUCKLES]
599
00:42:10,735 --> 00:42:12,243
Excellent.
600
00:42:12,807 --> 00:42:16,379
Well, hopefully, we will be
bonded for a long, long time.
601
00:42:21,950 --> 00:42:23,219
To peace.
602
00:42:24,009 --> 00:42:25,338
To peace.
603
00:42:51,036 --> 00:42:52,945
Once we are settled, Lord,
604
00:42:52,946 --> 00:42:55,771
there are matters I would
like to discuss, privately.
605
00:42:55,796 --> 00:42:59,568
Of course... just as
soon as we're settled.
606
00:43:00,216 --> 00:43:03,810
See the power of the
blessed Saint, Lord.
607
00:43:04,016 --> 00:43:05,496
In carrying him before you,
608
00:43:05,521 --> 00:43:06,998
he has given you this city
609
00:43:07,023 --> 00:43:10,021
without a single drop
of blood being shed.
610
00:43:10,919 --> 00:43:15,083
All that is required now
is that we praise him.
611
00:43:15,325 --> 00:43:17,759
Will you join me in prayer, my Lord?
612
00:43:17,784 --> 00:43:20,623
I will, Abbot Eadred. I will.
613
00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:37,100
Sihtric?
614
00:43:41,178 --> 00:43:42,655
Yes, Lord?
615
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,445
Kjartan's fortress at Dunholm...
616
00:43:45,470 --> 00:43:47,457
you will tell me of the weaknesses.
617
00:43:47,482 --> 00:43:49,077
There are none, Lord.
618
00:43:52,344 --> 00:43:55,905
Lord, there are no weaknesses.
619
00:43:55,930 --> 00:43:58,446
There are always weaknesses.
620
00:44:05,012 --> 00:44:06,901
I will see for myself.
621
00:44:12,876 --> 00:44:15,435
Uhtred, I believe, is
a threat to your crown...
622
00:44:15,460 --> 00:44:17,849
a threat even greater than the brothers.
623
00:44:17,896 --> 00:44:20,100
No! No!
624
00:44:20,125 --> 00:44:21,935
I do not see that.
625
00:44:23,482 --> 00:44:25,675
I am indebted to Uhtred.
626
00:44:25,926 --> 00:44:29,357
Lord, we are all in his debt.
627
00:44:30,126 --> 00:44:34,599
But in helping to free you,
did he not also act for himself?
628
00:44:35,846 --> 00:44:38,810
He believes himself to
be above each one of us
629
00:44:38,835 --> 00:44:43,029
and he is loved by the
men... they will follow him.
630
00:44:46,179 --> 00:44:48,484
I have to say, I worry that Bebbanburg
631
00:44:48,509 --> 00:44:50,948
will not be enough for such a man.
632
00:44:51,226 --> 00:44:55,148
He's a warrior. Warriors crave war.
633
00:44:57,036 --> 00:45:02,803
Whereas we know that Bebbanburg
is quite enough for his uncle.
634
00:45:04,951 --> 00:45:07,623
If it were not for Uhtred,
635
00:45:07,648 --> 00:45:09,802
we would have no quarrel with Aelfric.
636
00:45:09,827 --> 00:45:13,342
None. The opposite would apply...
637
00:45:13,421 --> 00:45:15,536
he would be an ally.
638
00:45:16,866 --> 00:45:20,099
As for the plan to
lay siege to Dunholm...
639
00:45:20,124 --> 00:45:21,607
I do believe it to be sound,
640
00:45:21,632 --> 00:45:24,894
but it will require many further men,
641
00:45:25,216 --> 00:45:29,239
and they must be men who
will not be tempted to join
642
00:45:29,278 --> 00:45:31,651
either Sigefrid or Uhtred.
643
00:45:31,668 --> 00:45:32,755
Yes.
644
00:45:32,780 --> 00:45:36,216
May I suggest, Lord, that
you summon Christian men?
645
00:45:36,716 --> 00:45:39,099
Christian men, yes, of course.
646
00:45:39,124 --> 00:45:40,786
But from where?
647
00:45:44,837 --> 00:45:47,996
Allow me to think on it, Lord.
648
00:45:49,727 --> 00:45:52,097
Let us both think on it.
649
00:46:17,373 --> 00:46:19,875
He is a warrior now... my nephew?
650
00:46:19,876 --> 00:46:23,069
He is, Lord, with reputation.
651
00:46:23,094 --> 00:46:24,685
Fearsome reputation.
652
00:46:27,625 --> 00:46:30,263
- He talks of me?
- Often, Lord.
653
00:46:30,474 --> 00:46:33,006
- Oh?
- Without affection.
654
00:46:34,456 --> 00:46:37,025
Wants to tear me apart, no doubt?
655
00:46:37,026 --> 00:46:39,725
That is the impression
he gives, Lord, yes.
656
00:46:43,731 --> 00:46:46,933
Your king's intention
regarding Bebbanburg is what?
657
00:46:46,958 --> 00:46:49,595
The abbot Eadred, who advises
the king, is for peace.
658
00:46:49,596 --> 00:46:52,927
- Mm-hm?
- However, the abbot is on one shoulder,
659
00:46:52,952 --> 00:46:56,622
your nephew is on the other.
And Uhtred wishes me dead.
660
00:46:58,398 --> 00:47:00,812
He will not rest.
661
00:47:00,837 --> 00:47:04,515
I know it. I've always known it.
662
00:47:07,475 --> 00:47:10,685
We fear he covets not
just Bebbanburg, Lord,
663
00:47:10,686 --> 00:47:12,872
but the whole of Northumbria.
664
00:47:13,316 --> 00:47:15,375
As is the way with Danes.
665
00:47:15,376 --> 00:47:16,935
It is.
666
00:47:20,197 --> 00:47:22,126
200 spears?
667
00:47:26,015 --> 00:47:30,172
Tell your king, tell the abbot...
668
00:47:30,198 --> 00:47:32,421
I am open to an alliance.
669
00:47:32,446 --> 00:47:35,079
If King Guthred were to
raise an army against Kjartan,
670
00:47:35,104 --> 00:47:37,017
I would be prepared to add to that army.
671
00:47:37,042 --> 00:47:39,866
My business with the Danes
672
00:47:39,891 --> 00:47:41,689
has long since finished.
673
00:47:42,592 --> 00:47:43,993
In return,
674
00:47:44,839 --> 00:47:48,071
I shall require the head of Osbert.
675
00:47:48,096 --> 00:47:49,645
Osbert, Lord?
676
00:47:49,646 --> 00:47:51,711
My nephew's name is Osbert.
677
00:47:52,308 --> 00:47:55,225
There shall be no more talk of Uhtred.
678
00:47:55,226 --> 00:47:57,840
He's not the heir... he's nothing.
679
00:47:59,776 --> 00:48:02,035
The head of Osbert.
680
00:48:04,053 --> 00:48:05,733
Thank you, Lord.
681
00:49:07,556 --> 00:49:09,545
It is one of ours, Lord.
682
00:49:10,538 --> 00:49:13,764
The flesh is rotten,
but I know it, I'm sure.
683
00:49:14,563 --> 00:49:16,421
Go to the others!
684
00:49:28,567 --> 00:49:30,805
It seems they're all
men we know, my Lord!
685
00:49:30,806 --> 00:49:33,035
Tekil! Is he amongst them?
686
00:49:36,346 --> 00:49:37,868
Go on!
687
00:49:44,837 --> 00:49:46,515
There are only seven heads.
688
00:49:46,891 --> 00:49:49,688
There are only seven
heads... who is missing?
689
00:49:50,097 --> 00:49:51,548
Fiske!
690
00:49:56,966 --> 00:49:58,885
The last one is Tekil!
691
00:49:59,385 --> 00:50:01,934
[WHINNYING]
692
00:50:03,676 --> 00:50:06,455
It's him. It's the Dead Horseman.
693
00:50:11,111 --> 00:50:13,838
Do you believe you deceive me?!
694
00:50:14,228 --> 00:50:16,198
I know who you are...
695
00:50:16,223 --> 00:50:18,558
I know exactly who you are!
696
00:50:18,582 --> 00:50:20,901
Uhtred Ragnarson!
697
00:50:20,926 --> 00:50:23,985
I will have your soul, Kjartan!
698
00:50:24,010 --> 00:50:27,865
Face me! Face me like a man!
699
00:50:28,147 --> 00:50:29,721
Uhtred!
700
00:50:36,503 --> 00:50:39,837
You asked to speak
and then you disappear.
701
00:50:39,862 --> 00:50:42,965
To breathe, Lord, nothing more.
702
00:50:44,671 --> 00:50:46,984
We have had a disagreement.
703
00:50:47,009 --> 00:50:49,296
That is past now, I hope.
704
00:50:49,492 --> 00:50:52,871
You command my army
and you are my friend.
705
00:50:52,896 --> 00:50:54,765
But I am king.
706
00:50:54,766 --> 00:50:58,375
Yes, but you cannot
be a friend to all men.
707
00:50:58,376 --> 00:51:01,335
There are times, Lord,
when you must be ruthless.
708
00:51:01,336 --> 00:51:02,925
You speak of Sigefrid and Erik.
709
00:51:02,926 --> 00:51:05,976
I do. They should have been
dispatched to Corpse Hall.
710
00:51:05,977 --> 00:51:07,909
Now they think you're weak.
711
00:51:07,934 --> 00:51:09,987
Men must fear you.
712
00:51:13,072 --> 00:51:15,088
Do men fear Alfred?
713
00:51:15,113 --> 00:51:16,402
He is a good man.
714
00:51:16,427 --> 00:51:18,786
They fear his displeasure, yes.
715
00:51:24,266 --> 00:51:25,995
You're right.
716
00:51:26,020 --> 00:51:28,339
Fear is a beast I must use.
717
00:51:29,795 --> 00:51:33,272
During my incarceration as a slave,
718
00:51:33,297 --> 00:51:35,787
fear lived within me. Often.
719
00:51:36,232 --> 00:51:38,896
It is a feeling that never leaves you.
720
00:51:39,289 --> 00:51:40,539
It scars.
721
00:51:40,564 --> 00:51:42,503
It humbles a man.
722
00:51:45,198 --> 00:51:47,897
I do hear you, Uhtred.
723
00:51:49,824 --> 00:51:51,346
May I say more, Lord?
724
00:51:51,347 --> 00:51:52,668
Of course!
725
00:51:58,275 --> 00:51:59,950
I, er,
726
00:51:59,975 --> 00:52:02,818
I wish to be seen as Sigefrid's equal.
727
00:52:03,411 --> 00:52:07,192
His equal? Like the brothers,
I am a lord of the north.
728
00:52:08,747 --> 00:52:11,296
I could easily become your rival.
729
00:52:14,055 --> 00:52:15,414
Yes.
730
00:52:15,439 --> 00:52:18,080
I ask that you make peace with me.
731
00:52:18,955 --> 00:52:22,026
I ask that you offer
your sister in marriage.
732
00:52:30,660 --> 00:52:34,476
The attraction, it is
reciprocated, I expect?
733
00:52:34,477 --> 00:52:37,330
- Mm-hmm.
- She feels the same?
734
00:52:37,355 --> 00:52:39,082
She does,
735
00:52:39,107 --> 00:52:40,661
I believe.
736
00:52:42,672 --> 00:52:45,281
You have been spending time with her?
737
00:52:45,715 --> 00:52:47,884
We've spoken, yes.
738
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,076
Then, there can be no argument.
739
00:52:54,334 --> 00:52:58,143
I hereby officially
now see you as a rival.
740
00:52:58,717 --> 00:53:00,356

I wish to see the king!

- No, Hild, put down your sword!

Put it down now!

- What shall I do, Lord?
- You do nothing.

Hild! My sword!

And find Gisela!

Lady Gisela?
756
00:54:11,315 --> 00:54:12,597
Is it true they have taken Uhtred?
757
00:54:12,622 --> 00:54:14,401
Out of the way, this is God's work.

your plans, change them.

You are to be sold.

We're to be sold?! Why?

It's not lost on me that
while you gave me my freedom,

I am now taking yours.

- You will become a slave, Uhtred.
- No!

- And Halig with you.
- No! No!

You have no argument with
Halig, let him go free.

No, Lord. I will stay beside you.

This is the reason
why you're being caged.

You inspire loyalty. You
inspire loyalty from my men.

For as long as is necessary.
For a lifetime. Why not?
