00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,559
'I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.

00:00:03,262 --> 00:00:05,581
'Sigefrid and Eriks'
army raided our camp

3
00:00:05,582 --> 00:00:08,741
'and kidnapped the Lady
Aethelflaed.'

4
00:00:08,742 --> 00:00:10,461
You took my daughter into battle.

5
00:00:11,731 --> 00:00:16,050
'To learn her fate,
I sent my loyal men Rypere

6
00:00:16,051 --> 00:00:18,650
'and Sihtric to Beamfleot as spies.'

7
00:00:18,651 --> 00:00:22,731
I swear that this prize will not
be sold cheaply.

8
00:00:23,247 --> 00:00:25,926
Wessex shall pay its share of
silver and if necessary

9
00:00:25,927 --> 00:00:27,326
its share of blood!

10
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:28,926
I will do what needs to be done.

11
00:00:28,927 --> 00:00:31,806
What is your opinion on
paying a ransom for Aethelflaed?

12
00:00:31,807 --> 00:00:33,486
Not one I am prepared to say aloud.

13
00:00:33,487 --> 00:00:34,526
I may need you.

14
00:00:34,527 --> 00:00:37,766
'Alfred sent us to negotiate
the ransom, but secretly

15
00:00:37,767 --> 00:00:41,046
'Aethelflaed and Erik have
fallen in love.'

16
00:00:41,047 --> 00:00:42,927
Your husband is a fortunate man.

17
00:00:44,607 --> 00:00:47,886
He is not the man
I would choose to be with.

18
00:00:47,887 --> 00:00:50,926
I cannot let her go.

19
00:00:50,927 --> 00:00:54,246
I will leave this place with
Erik or I will not leave at all.

20
00:00:54,247 --> 00:00:55,766
Will you help me?

21
00:00:55,767 --> 00:00:57,286
Please?

22
00:00:57,287 --> 00:00:59,087

24
00:01:42,287 --> 00:01:45,126
What binds a man to a land?

25
00:01:45,127 --> 00:01:50,326
You have a poor wretch, toiling in
the fields, burning in summer,

26
00:01:50,327 --> 00:01:53,646
shivering in winter.
He works all day, every day

27
00:01:53,647 --> 00:01:56,607
for nothing more than a loaf of
bread and a pot to piss in.

28
00:01:57,887 --> 00:02:01,446
His children die of disease,
his wife dies giving him children.

29
00:02:01,447 --> 00:02:06,526
Yet, when that land is threatened,
something stirs. Why?

30
00:02:07,382 --> 00:02:10,261
It is the land that feeds him.

31
00:02:10,262 --> 00:02:12,141
More than that.

32
00:02:12,142 --> 00:02:16,381
Er, the trees off the land are used
for shelter and fire.

33
00:02:16,382 --> 00:02:18,381
More than that.

34
00:02:18,382 --> 00:02:20,861
Is it love, Father?

35
00:02:20,862 --> 00:02:24,341
Oh, for the Lord's sake,
can you not remain quiet?

36
00:02:24,342 --> 00:02:30,141
But, yes, the bastard has it,
it can only be love.

37
00:02:30,142 --> 00:02:35,062
It is a powerful thing.
Would you not agree, Lord Uhtred?

38
00:02:37,222 --> 00:02:38,461
From wretch to warrior,

39
00:02:38,462 --> 00:02:44,342
love gives a man strength often
at the cost of his mind.

40
00:02:51,822 --> 00:02:53,101
How much?

41
00:02:53,102 --> 00:02:56,102
It's not a small amount, Lord.

42
00:02:57,822 --> 00:03:01,741
3,000 lbs weight of silver
and 500 lbs weight of gold.

43
00:03:01,742 --> 00:03:05,221
The first of the metal is to be
delivered by the next full moon,

44
00:03:05,222 --> 00:03:07,421
the remaining amount one month
later.

45
00:03:07,422 --> 00:03:09,141
That is an impossible amount.

46
00:03:09,142 --> 00:03:10,621
An absurd amount.

47
00:03:10,622 --> 00:03:12,461
That is the best price? 
- It is, Lord.

48
00:03:12,462 --> 00:03:14,621
It is less than half their
first demand, Lord.

49
00:03:14,622 --> 00:03:16,781
What it is
is the entire wealth of Wessex.

50
00:03:16,782 --> 00:03:19,941
What it would buy is an army to
ensure the end of Wessex and Mercia.

51
00:03:19,942 --> 00:03:25,422
Without the money...
what will happen to my daughter?

52
00:03:27,862 --> 00:03:31,821
She is too valuable to simply kill,
Lord, it would be humiliation.

53
00:03:31,822 --> 00:03:36,581
She will be taken to every town
where Danes rule, she will be

54
00:03:36,582 --> 00:03:41,862
paraded before mocking crowds and
men would pay to take their turn.

55
00:04:01,422 --> 00:04:04,461
It is not just the life and
reputation of my daughter at

56
00:04:04,462 --> 00:04:09,421
stake here,
it is the dignity of Wessex.

57
00:04:09,422 --> 00:04:14,821
So, many thousands of men must die,
Lord, for the dignity of Wessex?

58
00:04:14,822 --> 00:04:16,901
Yes, Odda.

59
00:04:16,902 --> 00:04:19,781
A country is its history,
the sum of all its stories -

60
00:04:19,782 --> 00:04:21,661
we are what our fathers made us.

61
00:04:21,662 --> 00:04:25,021
Would you have me leave my
descendants the shameful tale

62
00:04:25,022 --> 00:04:29,581
of how a Princess of Wessex was
whored to the highest bidder?

63
00:04:29,582 --> 00:04:32,581
That is a tale that would
overshadow all others.

64
00:04:32,582 --> 00:04:36,261
The battle of Ethandun would
become insignificant.

65
00:04:36,262 --> 00:04:39,261
But, Lord, if we pay this ransom...

66
00:04:39,262 --> 00:04:41,781
I do not see how there will be
a Wessex.

67
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:44,421
The tale they tell will be of the
king who paid for the very

68
00:04:44,422 --> 00:04:45,981
army that destroyed him!

69
00:04:45,982 --> 00:04:47,741
God would not allow that to happen.

70
00:04:47,742 --> 00:04:50,701
It's not God we are dealing with,
it is the Northmen, the Danes!

71
00:04:50,702 --> 00:04:53,821
Non-believers,
over whom we will triumph.

72
00:04:53,822 --> 00:04:55,621
Should a great battle come of this,

73
00:04:55,622 --> 00:04:57,381
we shall have men enough
to face them.

74
00:04:57,382 --> 00:04:59,501
I expect the fyrd of Mercia
to be at our side.

75
00:04:59,502 --> 00:05:00,741
It shall be there, Lord.

76
00:05:00,742 --> 00:05:03,301
The metal will be paid, in full.

77
00:05:03,302 --> 00:05:06,101
My daughter will be spared and
Wessex shall avoid indignity.

78
00:05:06,102 --> 00:05:08,021
But not the slaughter.

79
00:05:08,022 --> 00:05:12,662
Odda, I hear your doubts and I ask
you to renew your faith.

80
00:05:15,422 --> 00:05:17,102
Yes, Lord.

81
00:05:18,622 --> 00:05:21,741
Aethelred, you will join Father Beocca
and I before returning to Mercia.

82
00:05:21,742 --> 00:05:24,821
We must decide how best to
gather the ransom.

83
00:05:24,822 --> 00:05:26,982
Yes, Lord.

84
00:05:32,022 --> 00:05:33,901
This cannot be how it ends.

85
00:05:33,902 --> 00:05:36,541
Lord, you have said all you can say.

86
00:05:36,542 --> 00:05:38,741
And bravely.

87
00:05:38,742 --> 00:05:42,102
There's nothing more for you to do,
so I beg you - do nothing.

88
00:06:05,702 --> 00:06:07,782
Lord?

89
00:06:15,022 --> 00:06:16,582
Lord?

90
00:06:17,942 --> 00:06:19,342
Dagfinn, you can go.

91
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:22,581
All of you.

92
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,861
Yes, Lord.

93
00:06:24,862 --> 00:06:26,382
Do you have it?

94
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:31,501
Is that enough?

95
00:06:31,502 --> 00:06:32,662
Yes.

96
00:06:35,462 --> 00:06:36,501
Uhtred can read?

97
00:06:36,502 --> 00:06:39,981
All of my father's ealdormen can
read and write.

98
00:06:39,982 --> 00:06:42,101
Although the letters Uhtred
has written,

99
00:06:42,102 --> 00:06:43,862
you could count with one finger.

100
00:06:46,542 --> 00:06:48,462
I will teach you.

101
00:06:50,342 --> 00:06:52,981
What is to prevent him from
doing nothing?

102
00:06:52,982 --> 00:06:56,541
We are asking him to risk
everything for no reward.

103
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:58,381
Why should he come?

104
00:06:58,382 --> 00:07:02,582
It is Uhtred, he will come. I swear.

105
00:07:13,222 --> 00:07:14,981
He's with her, again?

106
00:07:14,982 --> 00:07:16,741
He is.

107
00:07:16,742 --> 00:07:18,181
He cannot keep away from her.

108
00:07:18,182 --> 00:07:20,462
Let us hope he does not take
her for his wife...

109
00:07:21,862 --> 00:07:24,101
...or else our fortune is lost.

110
00:07:24,102 --> 00:07:26,222
Is this true, huh?

111
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:39,141
Sigefrid! Which woman is mine?

112
00:07:39,142 --> 00:07:41,501
The ugly one.

113
00:07:41,502 --> 00:07:45,741
We walked them for miles,
see they are fed and watered.

114
00:07:45,742 --> 00:07:47,582
Horses and slaves.

115
00:07:54,462 --> 00:07:57,422
You are called Sihtric?

116
00:07:59,622 --> 00:08:03,141
Yes, Lord. Good evening to you,
Lord.

117
00:08:03,142 --> 00:08:05,342
Uhtred says you can be trusted.

118
00:08:06,702 --> 00:08:08,822
So you will take him this letter.

119
00:08:16,502 --> 00:08:18,142
This is a great responsibility.

120
00:08:29,622 --> 00:08:31,981
They will have no peace.

121
00:08:31,982 --> 00:08:33,782
None.

122
00:08:35,342 --> 00:08:38,062
I have told them the same.

123
00:08:39,182 --> 00:08:40,901
But you will still help them?

124
00:08:40,902 --> 00:08:42,981
I must, I have no choice.

125
00:08:42,982 --> 00:08:48,541
If they escape then there will be
no ransom paid. No great army.

126
00:08:48,542 --> 00:08:53,902
The men of Wessex are saved, yes,
but what becomes of you?

127
00:08:55,182 --> 00:08:56,501
Of us?

128
00:08:56,502 --> 00:08:58,741
Alfred will see it as a betrayal.

129
00:08:58,742 --> 00:09:00,342
You will have broken your oath.

130
00:09:02,022 --> 00:09:03,062
We leave.

131
00:09:06,542 --> 00:09:10,982
Tomorrow I will make
a sacrifice to keep you safe.

132
00:09:12,782 --> 00:09:14,302
All of us?

133
00:09:21,822 --> 00:09:23,901
Give your name to the scribe.

134
00:09:23,902 --> 00:09:29,101
The sum of your contribution will be
written beside your name.

135
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:32,741
We're helping to free the
Lady Aethelflaed.

136
00:09:32,742 --> 00:09:34,701
I've got nothing to give,
I've got a family.

137
00:09:34,702 --> 00:09:37,381
Any man or woman found to be hiding
the value of their wealth

138
00:09:37,382 --> 00:09:38,901
shall be punished.

139
00:09:38,902 --> 00:09:41,342
All must pay their share.

140
00:09:42,862 --> 00:09:48,301
You have the gratitude of the King,
and of God.

141
00:09:48,302 --> 00:09:50,221
Name?

142
00:09:50,222 --> 00:09:51,262
Dorridge.

143
00:09:57,982 --> 00:09:59,661
Lord?

144
00:09:59,662 --> 00:10:01,741
News, Lord.

145
00:10:01,742 --> 00:10:03,461
Speak.

146
00:10:03,462 --> 00:10:07,022
Say to the King exactly what you
said to me. Exactly.

147
00:10:13,262 --> 00:10:15,181
Lord, this man is from Canterbury.

148
00:10:15,182 --> 00:10:19,381
The Northmen at Beamfleot are now
crossing the river and

149
00:10:19,382 --> 00:10:20,741
raiding directly into Wessex.

150
00:10:20,742 --> 00:10:23,021
They have taken my wife
and daughters, Lord.

151
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,821
The youngest is just eight years.

152
00:10:25,822 --> 00:10:30,142
While we do nothing, Lord, but
gather half-pennies from the poor.

153
00:10:32,102 --> 00:10:34,621
Father, you will take this man away,

154
00:10:34,622 --> 00:10:36,741
feed him and give him rest
at an inn.

155
00:10:36,742 --> 00:10:38,622
Lord.

156
00:10:41,422 --> 00:10:43,781
Odda, what is it you want?

157
00:10:43,782 --> 00:10:48,901
Lord, he is just one man, but he
has lost two brothers at Ethandun,

158
00:10:48,902 --> 00:10:52,421
two daughters and a wife to the
Northmen, and yet guards will

159
00:10:52,422 --> 00:10:55,141
knock at his door and demand one
third of the little he has,

160
00:10:55,142 --> 00:10:58,101
all to help preserve
the dignity of Wessex.

161
00:10:58,102 --> 00:11:00,501
This insolence is too much.

162
00:11:00,502 --> 00:11:04,141
Then in six months'
time we shall ask for his life!

163
00:11:04,142 --> 00:11:09,141
What I want, Lord,
is for good sense to prevail.

164
00:11:09,142 --> 00:11:12,301
By good sense, I presume you mean
the death or humiliation of my

165
00:11:12,302 --> 00:11:15,341
daughter and of the
reputation of Wessex?

166
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:17,621
Or we march, Lord, and we fight.

167
00:11:17,622 --> 00:11:19,901
If we march they will kill her.

168
00:11:19,902 --> 00:11:22,781
And she will be considered a martyr,
for Wessex, Lord,

169
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:24,541
her dignity preserved!

170
00:11:24,542 --> 00:11:27,742
And you would still have the
Prince, Edward, your line is intact!

171
00:11:33,982 --> 00:11:36,941
Odda, what has saved you from
outright banishment is that

172
00:11:36,942 --> 00:11:39,541
you chose your King over
your own son.

173
00:11:39,542 --> 00:11:41,941
Lord, I chose Wessex over my son.

174
00:11:41,942 --> 00:11:45,582
A traitor! You should at least
consider doing the same!

175
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:53,542
What am I to do with you?

176
00:11:58,142 --> 00:12:01,621
Your injury and your
appetite for wine

177
00:12:01,622 --> 00:12:04,302
have robbed us both of your worth.

178
00:12:08,822 --> 00:12:10,382
You no longer serve a purpose.

179
00:12:14,262 --> 00:12:16,021
Then, with your permission, Lord,

180
00:12:16,022 --> 00:12:20,221
I shall return to my estate and my
wife at Devonshire.

181
00:12:20,222 --> 00:12:23,702
Whilst it is still a Saxon estate.

182
00:12:25,782 --> 00:12:27,302
That would be for the best.

183
00:12:29,462 --> 00:12:31,622
Should you be needed you will
be sent for.

184
00:13:26,062 --> 00:13:28,302
They buy the very swords that
will slay them.

185
00:13:34,382 --> 00:13:36,022
Lord, good evening.

186
00:13:40,542 --> 00:13:42,022
I am a moth to the flame.

187
00:13:44,382 --> 00:13:46,821
Yes, it is becoming
a significant amount.

188
00:13:46,822 --> 00:13:52,221
Significant is the word, Lord,
in its size and its effect.

189
00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:53,942
Your father... The King?

190
00:13:57,822 --> 00:13:59,302
He would have done the same.

191
00:14:00,702 --> 00:14:03,781
Pay such a ransom for his
offspring, Lord? I doubt it.

192
00:14:03,782 --> 00:14:07,461
I was a great disappointment
to him...

193
00:14:07,462 --> 00:14:08,742
which I regret.

194
00:14:10,062 --> 00:14:12,861
But if you were not such
a disappointment, Aethelwold,

195
00:14:12,862 --> 00:14:14,262
I may have had you killed.

196
00:14:15,582 --> 00:14:16,902
For the good of Wessex.

197
00:14:18,622 --> 00:14:22,262
Never doubt it, every decision
I make is for my country.

198
00:14:24,582 --> 00:14:25,622
Yes, Lord.

199
00:14:27,662 --> 00:14:29,142
I understand completely.

200
00:14:53,382 --> 00:14:54,422
Lord Odda.

201
00:14:55,862 --> 00:14:58,661
You will set tongues wagging,
drinking with the peasants.

202
00:14:58,662 --> 00:15:00,182
Let them wag if it please them.

203
00:15:02,382 --> 00:15:05,101
You asked me some days ago if I
agree with the payment of

204
00:15:05,102 --> 00:15:06,462
a ransom.

205
00:15:10,182 --> 00:15:11,462
I do not.

206
00:15:14,223 --> 00:15:19,783
If I had an army to call upon,
a fyrd to raise, I would prove it.

207
00:15:23,143 --> 00:15:24,823
But I have not.

208
00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:40,943
I appear to have joined you, Lord.

209
00:15:51,343 --> 00:15:54,062
He's been there for part of
the day and all of the night.

210
00:15:54,063 --> 00:15:56,822
He's a good man and I worry that it
will damage his reputation, Lord.

211
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:59,422
If he can stand,
it can only enhance his reputation.

212
00:15:59,423 --> 00:16:03,303
Lord. May we join you?

213
00:16:05,903 --> 00:16:08,982
Is he here still or
has he already left?

214
00:16:08,983 --> 00:16:10,422
Aethelwold?

215
00:16:10,423 --> 00:16:12,983
Erm, no, he's long gone, Lord.

216
00:16:17,023 --> 00:16:18,822
Perhaps you've drank enough, Lord?

217
00:16:18,823 --> 00:16:22,302
It is entirely possible.

218
00:16:22,303 --> 00:16:26,222
Though the ale they brew here is
weak upon the orders of Alfred.

219
00:16:26,223 --> 00:16:27,343
You're joking, Lord.

220
00:16:28,783 --> 00:16:30,502
What, that's true?

221
00:16:30,503 --> 00:16:31,982
It is, yes.

222
00:16:31,983 --> 00:16:37,062
It is so a man can work
the next day,

223
00:16:37,063 --> 00:16:39,823
and swords remain in scabbards.

224
00:16:43,663 --> 00:16:45,503
But they must not.

225
00:16:52,063 --> 00:16:53,703
Somebody needs a bed.

226
00:16:57,143 --> 00:16:58,782
And you will stay with him?

227
00:16:58,783 --> 00:16:59,822
And do what?

228
00:16:59,823 --> 00:17:02,782
If he needs to piss or spew up,
you'll fetch him a bucket.

229
00:17:02,783 --> 00:17:05,823
I have a plan,
though it is likely I will die.

230
00:17:07,863 --> 00:17:10,463
What is this plan, Lord, tell me?

231
00:17:12,703 --> 00:17:15,742
I will raise the Devonshire fyrd.

232
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:21,142
Against the King's wishes, Lord? That
is not something he would forgive.

233
00:17:21,143 --> 00:17:23,183
Lord?!

234
00:17:28,703 --> 00:17:30,222
He will go nowhere.

235
00:17:30,223 --> 00:17:34,022
And you will go nowhere and you will
say nothing about what you

236
00:17:34,023 --> 00:17:35,422
have just heard. Yes, Lord.

237
00:17:35,423 --> 00:17:36,983
You mean, "No, Lord".

238
00:17:38,983 --> 00:17:40,543
I... Do as I say.

239
00:18:33,423 --> 00:18:35,702
So, what does it say?

240
00:18:35,703 --> 00:18:38,302
Erik has enough oathmen
to crew a ship.

241
00:18:38,303 --> 00:18:41,302
Three nights before the first of
the metal is to be delivered,

242
00:18:41,303 --> 00:18:44,062
we make our way down river
to Beamfleot.

243
00:18:44,063 --> 00:18:46,222
We kill the men that stand
guard over the ships.

244
00:18:46,223 --> 00:18:48,902
Erik and Aethelflaed sail away.
And Wessex is saved.

245
00:18:48,903 --> 00:18:52,902
How many guards?
Eight or ten, on the shore.

246
00:18:52,903 --> 00:18:54,342
That is all? Yes.

247
00:18:54,343 --> 00:18:55,542
It's as simple as that?

248
00:18:55,543 --> 00:18:57,862
Erik is in command,
his men guard Aethelflaed,

249
00:18:57,863 --> 00:19:00,222
his ship is ready and waiting.

250
00:19:00,223 --> 00:19:03,182
It begins, it's simple.
What happens is fate.

251
00:19:03,183 --> 00:19:05,342
Well, why go by river and not
horseback?

252
00:19:05,343 --> 00:19:08,382
If we go with the tide it'll be
faster, and to escape

253
00:19:08,383 --> 00:19:10,302
we row across river.

254
00:19:10,303 --> 00:19:11,542
They will follow you.

255
00:19:11,543 --> 00:19:15,623
They will follow Aethelflaed.
She's the silver.

256
00:19:33,663 --> 00:19:35,062
Father Pyrlig?

257
00:19:35,063 --> 00:19:38,222
Lord. You came from nowhere,
like the devil himself.

258
00:19:38,223 --> 00:19:40,102
You're leaving us?

259
00:19:40,103 --> 00:19:44,902
I am. I've invited myself to
Devonshire with the Lord Odda.

260
00:19:44,903 --> 00:19:48,182
Looking forward to cooling my
feet in the blue waters of the sea.

261
00:19:48,183 --> 00:19:49,822
You're spying for Alfred.

262
00:19:49,823 --> 00:19:52,543
Of course I'm spying for Alfred,
I despise the sea.

263
00:19:54,863 --> 00:19:57,702
Should Odda decide to do
anything rash,

264
00:19:57,703 --> 00:20:00,582
you will tell him to hold fast?

265
00:20:00,583 --> 00:20:02,902
And why should he listen to me?

266
00:20:02,903 --> 00:20:05,383
Do you have a reason you
would like to share?

267
00:20:07,703 --> 00:20:08,903
He is behind you.

268
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:13,302
Lord? Did you sleep well?

269
00:20:13,303 --> 00:20:16,822
Uhtred, I did, soundly.

270
00:20:16,823 --> 00:20:20,142
Though I'm not sure
how I found my bed.

271
00:20:20,143 --> 00:20:23,982
You were a little worse for ale,
Lord, but no bother.

272
00:20:23,983 --> 00:20:26,542
I'm glad to hear it.

273
00:20:26,543 --> 00:20:28,303
You spoke of a plan.

274
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:31,902
I did?

275
00:20:31,903 --> 00:20:33,422
Mm-hm.

276
00:20:33,423 --> 00:20:34,943
Am I to be reminded?

277
00:20:35,983 --> 00:20:37,743
The men of Devonshire.

278
00:20:38,703 --> 00:20:40,423
They should remain in the fields.

279
00:20:42,383 --> 00:20:44,062
I must have been very drunk.

280
00:20:44,063 --> 00:20:46,942
It can be the only explanation,
Lord.

281
00:20:46,943 --> 00:20:48,342
Yes.

282
00:20:48,343 --> 00:20:49,382
You swear?

283
00:20:49,383 --> 00:20:53,743
On my life. I have
no memory of it whatsoever.

284
00:20:55,143 --> 00:21:00,743
Lord, I dare say this to you as
your friend - do nothing.

285
00:21:02,383 --> 00:21:06,142
If I do not see you again,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg,

286
00:21:06,143 --> 00:21:11,622
I wish you good luck,
wherever fate may take you.

287
00:21:11,623 --> 00:21:13,223
Thank you, Lord.

288
00:21:34,703 --> 00:21:37,183
Should we pray, Lord? Together?

289
00:21:39,503 --> 00:21:43,743
Am I being selfish,
in wanting to spare Aethelflaed?

290
00:21:45,063 --> 00:21:50,902
Lord, you were her father
before you were a king.

291
00:21:50,903 --> 00:21:56,343
But your reasons stand -
she is Wessex.

292
00:21:57,503 --> 00:22:01,023
She's the blood,
the heart and the spirit of Wessex.

293
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,783
She cannot be humiliated.

294
00:22:32,623 --> 00:22:34,662
Dagfinn!

295
00:22:34,663 --> 00:22:36,542
Dagfinn!

296
00:22:36,543 --> 00:22:38,062
Where is she?

297
00:22:38,063 --> 00:22:39,103
Lord? I...

298
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:56,662
Now it is clear.
Each man has a right to see her.

299
00:22:56,663 --> 00:23:01,263
And every man will guard her
with his life!

300
00:23:04,663 --> 00:23:08,783
She is our wealth.
She belongs to us all!

301
00:23:25,343 --> 00:23:26,942
Dear God!

302
00:23:26,943 --> 00:23:28,582
Who might they be?

303
00:23:28,583 --> 00:23:31,983
They are the Devonshire fyrd,
Father Pyrlig.

304
00:23:35,143 --> 00:23:38,782
You are here as Alfred's spy.
You will go no further.

305
00:23:38,783 --> 00:23:41,262
You will get down from your horse
and you will walk back to

306
00:23:41,263 --> 00:23:43,022
Winchester with your news.

307
00:23:43,023 --> 00:23:45,742
And what news is that, Lord?
What do you mean?

308
00:23:45,743 --> 00:23:49,742
You will tell the King that Odda is
marching against the enemies of Wessex.

309
00:23:49,743 --> 00:23:52,262
He can either march to halt
me or march to join me,

310
00:23:52,263 --> 00:23:54,062
it does not matter which.

311
00:23:54,063 --> 00:23:58,542
Once the Northmen at Beamfleot see
an army, battle will follow.

312
00:23:58,543 --> 00:24:01,742
Please, Lord. Think about what you are
doing, you are making traitors of your men!

313
00:24:01,743 --> 00:24:05,583
The men you see are here to die for
their King, not betray him.

314
00:24:06,583 --> 00:24:08,902
They know nothing
of Alfred's weakness.

315
00:24:08,903 --> 00:24:12,142
But Uhtred, Lord!
Did he not ask you to do nothing?

316
00:24:12,143 --> 00:24:15,342
You will get down from your horse
and you will return to Winchester.

317
00:24:15,343 --> 00:24:16,623
And if I refuse?

318
00:24:17,903 --> 00:24:19,823
Now, Father Pyrlig.

319
00:24:33,143 --> 00:24:36,103
Lord, I beg you, think again.

320
00:25:03,623 --> 00:25:04,663
Thank you.

321
00:25:07,863 --> 00:25:09,063
What's your name?

322
00:25:33,863 --> 00:25:35,863
I asked for ten, Dagfinn!

323
00:25:37,023 --> 00:25:40,222
How are we supposed to scrub down
a ship with three men?

324
00:25:40,223 --> 00:25:42,743
The men refuse to leave
the hall, Lord.

325
00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:45,622
Refuse?

326
00:25:45,623 --> 00:25:48,382
They say they are
protecting their wealth,

327
00:25:48,383 --> 00:25:50,582
under the orders of Sigefrid.

328
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:52,183
Who said this? Name them.

329
00:25:57,823 --> 00:26:01,783
Your brother has called for more
guards, Lord, until the metal comes.

330
00:26:03,463 --> 00:26:04,503
Erik!

331
00:26:06,423 --> 00:26:08,423
You have been sleeping
at the river.

332
00:26:09,983 --> 00:26:11,502
Why?

333
00:26:11,503 --> 00:26:13,063
You have made a fool of me.

334
00:26:16,703 --> 00:26:19,262
You have humped her enough.

335
00:26:19,263 --> 00:26:21,983
You have fed and washed her enough.

336
00:26:23,223 --> 00:26:26,142
Do not allow the men to see
what I know for certain -

337
00:26:26,143 --> 00:26:27,663
you have grown too fond of her.

338
00:26:28,823 --> 00:26:31,902
It is not her arse you want,
it is herself.

339
00:26:31,903 --> 00:26:33,223
It will pass.

340
00:26:34,943 --> 00:26:36,183
You have shamed me.

341
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:40,063
What I have done...

342
00:26:41,503 --> 00:26:42,903
...is protect you.

343
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:48,462
Erik, my brother, what is happening
around us is your plan.

344
00:26:48,463 --> 00:26:50,742
And it is a fine plan -

345
00:26:50,743 --> 00:26:53,382
to give up Lunden and take
the Princess to ransom her

346
00:26:53,383 --> 00:26:57,502
for ships full of gold and silver,
on which we will build an army

347
00:26:57,503 --> 00:27:02,183
that no man will want to face
and every man will want to join.

348
00:27:04,303 --> 00:27:06,863
This will be our land.

349
00:27:08,543 --> 00:27:09,663
All of it.

350
00:27:12,903 --> 00:27:15,543
I will not allow us to fail.

351
00:27:18,903 --> 00:27:21,943
Haesten! A guard every ten paces.
Yes, Lord.

352
00:27:23,543 --> 00:27:27,743
Forgive me, Lord, it's not that
the men do not want to serve you.

353
00:27:28,943 --> 00:27:32,463
It is that they do not know
where your loyalties lie.

354
00:27:51,223 --> 00:27:54,423
Oh, Sweet Jesus, I cannot run.
Please let them be Saxon.

355
00:27:57,583 --> 00:27:59,542
Father Pyrlig.

356
00:27:59,543 --> 00:28:03,022
Lord! Thank the Heavens,
a friendly face.

357
00:28:03,023 --> 00:28:04,782
Are you lost, Father?

358
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:06,782
Not lost but abandoned, Lord.

359
00:28:06,783 --> 00:28:09,662
I'm returning to Winchester with
an important message for Alfred.

360
00:28:09,663 --> 00:28:12,782
We're going to see Alfred.
Climb onto the cart.

361
00:28:12,783 --> 00:28:14,782
You can help guard Mercia's ransom.

362
00:28:14,783 --> 00:28:17,983
God bless you, Lord,
saviour of my blistered feet.

363
00:28:35,263 --> 00:28:36,862
Lord?

364
00:28:36,863 --> 00:28:38,183
Osferth?

365
00:28:47,743 --> 00:28:49,343
Can I say to you that I'm afraid?

366
00:28:52,343 --> 00:28:54,463
I wear a sword but barely
know how to use it.

367
00:28:56,103 --> 00:28:59,823
I pray that when battle comes,
I will not fail you.

368
00:29:00,983 --> 00:29:03,702
Osferth, at times we're all afraid.

369
00:29:03,703 --> 00:29:07,103
Courage is finding the will to
overcome your fear, nothing more.

370
00:29:08,223 --> 00:29:11,862
Perhaps we'll find you an axe.
It requires less skill than a sword.

371
00:29:11,863 --> 00:29:13,703
But you must find the courage.

372
00:29:15,223 --> 00:29:17,102
Yes, Lord.

373
00:29:17,103 --> 00:29:18,783
Thank you, Lord.

374
00:29:42,903 --> 00:29:44,142
Father Pyrlig?

375
00:29:44,143 --> 00:29:46,542
Aethelred and Aldhelm
I was expecting.

376
00:29:46,543 --> 00:29:48,422
It is Odda, Lord.

377
00:29:48,423 --> 00:29:50,982
Prior to leaving Winchester,
he sent a man, some man,

378
00:29:50,983 --> 00:29:53,422
with word to raise
the fighting men of Devonshire.

379
00:29:53,423 --> 00:29:55,382
He has now met them
on the road, Lord.

380
00:29:55,383 --> 00:29:57,502
With the intention of doing what?

381
00:29:57,503 --> 00:29:59,702
He is marching against Beamfleot.

382
00:29:59,703 --> 00:30:01,183
Yes, Lord, he is.

383
00:30:17,823 --> 00:30:19,223
Damn him.

384
00:30:21,823 --> 00:30:23,023
I say damn him.

385
00:30:28,143 --> 00:30:29,222
Lord, are we to stop him?

386
00:30:29,223 --> 00:30:31,022
We have
no other choice but to stop him!

387
00:30:31,023 --> 00:30:33,342
We must stop him.
Lord, may I ask, where is Uhtred?

388
00:30:33,343 --> 00:30:35,502
He was not beside Odda,
if that is your meaning.

389
00:30:35,503 --> 00:30:38,342
And it cannot have been Uhtred who
carried the message to Devonshire.

390
00:30:38,343 --> 00:30:40,062
Aethelred,
you have how many men with you?

391
00:30:40,063 --> 00:30:42,382
Over 50, Lord. Household guard.
I can send for many more.

392
00:30:42,383 --> 00:30:44,462
You will do that.
Rest your men and horses,

393
00:30:44,463 --> 00:30:46,782
but you will join me and my own
guard before first light.

394
00:30:46,783 --> 00:30:48,462
If we are to halt Odda,

395
00:30:48,463 --> 00:30:51,943
we must march day and night
and we must pray.

396
00:30:53,743 --> 00:30:55,823
Dear Lord God in Heaven...

397
00:30:56,943 --> 00:31:01,183
...grant me the strength
to survive this ordeal.

398
00:31:03,183 --> 00:31:06,583
Give me the courage to overcome
these hardships...

399
00:31:08,863 --> 00:31:12,183
...and instil within me faith.

400
00:31:14,463 --> 00:31:16,263
Faith in those I love.

401
00:31:18,823 --> 00:31:20,303
For they will not abandon me.

402
00:31:23,623 --> 00:31:25,103
Lord, I beg of you.

403
00:31:26,783 --> 00:31:28,062
Amen.

404
00:31:28,063 --> 00:31:29,423
Amen.

405
00:31:33,703 --> 00:31:35,022
You!

406
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:36,383
With me!

407
00:31:41,103 --> 00:31:42,623
Now!

408
00:32:04,823 --> 00:32:06,262
20 guards!

409
00:32:06,263 --> 00:32:09,182
Sihtric, you said it would be
no more than eight or ten.

410
00:32:09,183 --> 00:32:10,302
He cannot count.

411
00:32:10,303 --> 00:32:12,742
No, Lord,
it has never been more than ten men.

412
00:32:12,743 --> 00:32:15,222
Rypere's group will strike
first from the water.

413
00:32:15,223 --> 00:32:17,103
They look to the river, and then...

414
00:32:18,383 --> 00:32:19,742
...we kill them.

415
00:32:19,743 --> 00:32:21,302
But, Lord, we are just 11.

416
00:32:21,303 --> 00:32:23,182
Rypere! Two each.

417
00:32:23,183 --> 00:32:25,023
We attack as soon as it's dark.

418
00:32:33,783 --> 00:32:36,983
Brother. May I speak?

419
00:32:43,263 --> 00:32:44,863
I've something to say!

420
00:32:46,743 --> 00:32:48,623
I have something to say
to each of you.

421
00:32:50,583 --> 00:32:55,302
You will be disappointed to know
that this woman here...

422
00:32:55,303 --> 00:32:56,982
is now mine.

423
00:32:56,983 --> 00:32:59,022
No man is to touch her.

424
00:32:59,023 --> 00:33:00,342
Not with his hands,

425
00:33:00,343 --> 00:33:02,543
and most certainly
not with his cock!

426
00:33:04,623 --> 00:33:06,623
She belongs to me!

427
00:33:10,863 --> 00:33:12,383
You weakened me, brother.

428
00:33:13,503 --> 00:33:17,023
It should have been me who took
the Princess and put her in a cage.

429
00:33:19,823 --> 00:33:21,743
Yes, you're right.

430
00:33:23,343 --> 00:33:25,663
I did not think.

431
00:33:27,143 --> 00:33:28,662
You never think.

432
00:33:28,663 --> 00:33:30,462
No!

433
00:33:30,463 --> 00:33:32,663
Because I have you to think for me.

434
00:33:41,463 --> 00:33:44,982
It is three nights before the first
of the silver will arrive.

435
00:33:44,983 --> 00:33:46,422
We must be ready.

436
00:33:46,423 --> 00:33:50,062
Tomorrow there will be no more ale,
no more games,

437
00:33:50,063 --> 00:33:52,383
no more fighting over women!

438
00:33:53,983 --> 00:33:56,182
But that is tomorrow.

439
00:33:56,183 --> 00:33:58,062
Tonight...

440
00:33:58,063 --> 00:34:01,943
we drink as if there
were no tomorrow!

441
00:34:08,743 --> 00:34:09,983
Lady!

442
00:34:13,503 --> 00:34:16,023
Have faith. It is tonight.

443
00:34:48,983 --> 00:34:50,503
Men, calm yourselves!

444
00:34:53,823 --> 00:34:55,303
Get the shields!

445
00:35:21,263 --> 00:35:22,743
Rypere!

446
00:35:49,583 --> 00:35:52,422
You! That's enough!

447
00:35:52,423 --> 00:35:53,823
He's not your kill.

448
00:35:59,743 --> 00:36:01,583
That is not how you wet your sword.

449
00:36:02,663 --> 00:36:03,863
Find your courage!

450
00:36:05,263 --> 00:36:08,863
Or find your cross and go back to
the monastery as Alfred would wish.

451
00:36:26,663 --> 00:36:29,183
We shall rest for a short time only.

452
00:36:30,863 --> 00:36:35,302
Take rest. Stay alert.
I want watchmen front and rear.

453
00:36:35,303 --> 00:36:37,183
Feed the horses and yourselves.

454
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:40,143
Odda is out there. He is near.

455
00:36:42,103 --> 00:36:43,423
As is Aethelflaed, Lord.

456
00:36:44,863 --> 00:36:45,983
We are here for Odda.

457
00:36:52,383 --> 00:36:54,103
Erik should have been here by now.

458
00:36:55,583 --> 00:36:56,942
Something's wrong.

459
00:36:56,943 --> 00:36:59,262
Why increase the number of guards?
For what reason?

460
00:36:59,263 --> 00:37:00,943
Do we care? They are dead.

461
00:37:06,063 --> 00:37:08,182
We go to the fortress.

462
00:37:08,183 --> 00:37:09,302
We do?

463
00:37:09,303 --> 00:37:10,582
We came to free Aethelflaed.

464
00:37:10,583 --> 00:37:12,022
We came to kill the guards.

465
00:37:12,023 --> 00:37:13,623
Bastard, you will say nothing!

466
00:37:14,663 --> 00:37:16,942
The guards will soon be
discovered missing,

467
00:37:16,943 --> 00:37:19,022
and when they are, it's over.

468
00:37:19,023 --> 00:37:20,302
We cannot wait.

469
00:37:20,303 --> 00:37:21,823
But, Lord, we've lost half our men.

470
00:37:23,343 --> 00:37:24,702
And there are hundreds of them,

471
00:37:24,703 --> 00:37:26,782
both inside and outside
the fortress.

472
00:37:26,783 --> 00:37:28,823
Then a few more men
will not be noticed.

473
00:37:32,663 --> 00:37:33,903
We go to the fortress.

474
00:38:10,503 --> 00:38:13,422
Uhtred.
She said that you would come.

475
00:38:13,423 --> 00:38:15,302
I dared not believe her,
but you are here.

476
00:38:15,303 --> 00:38:17,622
Tell me what has changed.

477
00:38:17,623 --> 00:38:18,863
In truth?

478
00:38:20,343 --> 00:38:21,503
It is hopeless.

479
00:38:23,743 --> 00:38:27,342
I have no crew for my ship,
but the first task is not how

480
00:38:27,343 --> 00:38:31,022
we escape Beamfleot,
it is how we free Aethelflaed.

481
00:38:31,023 --> 00:38:33,822
She hangs where every
man can see her.

482
00:38:33,823 --> 00:38:38,102
Lord, I enjoy a fight as much as the
next idiot, but this is beyond us.

483
00:38:38,103 --> 00:38:39,542
She's inside the hall?

484
00:38:39,543 --> 00:38:42,822
Inside the hall, inside a cage.
Surrounded by men.

485
00:38:42,823 --> 00:38:44,702
Warriors.

486
00:38:44,703 --> 00:38:47,142
Then we must first
get rid of the men.

487
00:38:47,143 --> 00:38:48,343
We do it now.

488
00:39:00,383 --> 00:39:03,142
Fire! Fire! FIRE!

489
00:39:03,143 --> 00:39:05,942
Outside now! Quickly!

490
00:39:05,943 --> 00:39:08,303
Put the fire out before it spreads!

491
00:39:15,903 --> 00:39:18,262
Find something to carry water!

492
00:39:18,263 --> 00:39:20,743
Six men, stay with the Princess!

493
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:32,062
Lock the doors!

494
00:39:32,063 --> 00:39:33,263
Uhtred!

495
00:39:39,143 --> 00:39:40,863
Clapa, Sihtric, the cage!

496
00:39:44,223 --> 00:39:45,582
Come on!

497
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:47,622
This is one bastard lock to break!

498
00:39:47,623 --> 00:39:49,463
Get it done before we burn!

499
00:39:53,103 --> 00:39:55,462
It's all cleared,
the hall of men, Lord.

500
00:39:55,463 --> 00:39:57,143
Now, how do we clear the yard?

501
00:40:05,143 --> 00:40:06,623
They will follow the silver.

502
00:40:07,903 --> 00:40:10,062
Up to the ramparts!

503
00:40:10,063 --> 00:40:12,143
Go! Go!

504
00:40:14,143 --> 00:40:15,423
Where did this begin?

505
00:40:16,743 --> 00:40:19,783
Lady, quickly,
run for the rear gate.

506
00:40:20,823 --> 00:40:22,063
Do not stop!

507
00:40:24,063 --> 00:40:26,222
The Princess! Stop her!

508
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:27,822
After her!

509
00:40:27,823 --> 00:40:29,703
Get to your horses! Go!

510
00:40:40,983 --> 00:40:44,022
Where is he? Erik! Where is he?

511
00:40:44,023 --> 00:40:45,422
Lord, I do not know.

512
00:40:45,423 --> 00:40:47,383
I have not seen him
outside of the hall!

513
00:41:17,743 --> 00:41:18,783
No!

514
00:41:24,783 --> 00:41:27,063
Erik!

515
00:41:32,903 --> 00:41:34,622
Erik!

516
00:41:34,623 --> 00:41:37,982
Do not do this.
Do not dare to do this!

517
00:41:37,983 --> 00:41:41,302
Brother,
please let me have this one chance.

518
00:41:41,303 --> 00:41:42,782
I cannot let her go.

519
00:41:42,783 --> 00:41:46,502
She's our fortune!
She's our reputation!

520
00:41:46,503 --> 00:41:49,342
If it's reputation you want,
you can begin with killing me.

521
00:41:49,343 --> 00:41:51,142
Uhtred, no!

522
00:41:51,143 --> 00:41:54,983
If you want your fortune,
you must kill me!

523
00:41:57,023 --> 00:41:58,103
No!

524
00:42:01,783 --> 00:42:03,422
No! Argh!

525
00:42:03,423 --> 00:42:04,663
Clapa, the cage!

526
00:42:39,943 --> 00:42:41,943
Uhtred, get her out of here!

527
00:42:44,063 --> 00:42:45,903
Erik, no!

528
00:42:57,983 --> 00:42:59,142
No...

529
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:01,862
We need to go. Aethelflaed!

530
00:43:01,863 --> 00:43:03,183
No!

531
00:43:21,063 --> 00:43:22,103
You...

532
00:43:23,703 --> 00:43:25,023
You did this.

533
00:43:33,343 --> 00:43:34,903
You've killed us both.

534
00:44:18,623 --> 00:44:20,263
Quickly!

535
00:44:48,463 --> 00:44:49,943
Clapa, with us!

536
00:44:53,783 --> 00:44:55,023
Clapa!

537
00:44:56,063 --> 00:44:57,263
Clapa!

538
00:45:03,103 --> 00:45:04,383
We go!

539
00:45:26,983 --> 00:45:28,783
She's escaping with Uhtred!

540
00:45:32,263 --> 00:45:33,782
I want them dead!

541
00:45:33,783 --> 00:45:36,182
Everyone after them!

542
00:45:36,183 --> 00:45:37,663
Go!

543
00:45:43,503 --> 00:45:47,062
Lord, I'm grateful to see you,
as are my men.

544
00:45:47,063 --> 00:45:50,103
I've told each one of them we are
here on the orders of Alfred.

545
00:45:55,223 --> 00:45:57,822
Lord, as you appear to have marched
an army to their door,

546
00:45:57,823 --> 00:46:00,783
I doubt the Northmen will believe
you are not here to fight.

547
00:46:04,463 --> 00:46:05,743
Why, Odda?

548
00:46:07,823 --> 00:46:09,662
Why?

549
00:46:09,663 --> 00:46:10,783
For Wessex, Lord.

550
00:46:12,063 --> 00:46:13,383
Only for Wessex.

551
00:46:18,383 --> 00:46:19,623
Lord, the sky!

552
00:46:21,103 --> 00:46:22,383
It must be Beamfleot.

553
00:46:24,543 --> 00:46:26,062
It is an army, Lord!

554
00:46:26,063 --> 00:46:28,303
It's Odda. It's Odda's army!

555
00:46:32,383 --> 00:46:34,782
Stand ready! Stand ready!

556
00:46:34,783 --> 00:46:37,982
Good God, I think it is Uhtred.

557
00:46:37,983 --> 00:46:40,903
It is her, it is Aethelflaed.
They have her.

558
00:46:47,183 --> 00:46:50,542
Lord, we are being
pursued by Sigefrid.

559
00:46:50,543 --> 00:46:52,742
The Danes are low in number
and disorganised.

560
00:46:52,743 --> 00:46:54,302
My advice is that we kill them all.

561
00:46:54,303 --> 00:46:56,502
Steapa, put a guard around
my daughter. Keep her safe.

562
00:46:56,503 --> 00:46:58,863
Father, I want to fight them!
You will do as I say!

563
00:47:08,743 --> 00:47:10,222
Erik is dead, Lord.

564
00:47:10,223 --> 00:47:13,382
Sigefrid will have no mind
to negotiate nor wait.

565
00:47:13,383 --> 00:47:15,262
He wants Saxon blood.

566
00:47:15,263 --> 00:47:16,703
We have to fight!

567
00:47:18,343 --> 00:47:20,863
Shield wall, Lord -
only you can give the order.

568
00:47:24,383 --> 00:47:27,143
Lord, we only have
a fraction of their number.

569
00:47:28,863 --> 00:47:29,943
We cannot win.

570
00:47:32,863 --> 00:47:33,903
I am ready.

571
00:47:38,223 --> 00:47:39,423
Lord?

572
00:47:42,143 --> 00:47:43,303
To die.

573
00:47:48,503 --> 00:47:49,823
It will be today.

574
00:47:56,383 --> 00:47:58,183
Who is with me?

575
00:47:59,903 --> 00:48:01,743
Who is ready for glory...

576
00:48:02,983 --> 00:48:04,863
...or Valhalla?

577
00:48:13,583 --> 00:48:15,862
Shield wall! Shield wall!

578
00:48:15,863 --> 00:48:17,543
Shield wall!

579
00:48:19,063 --> 00:48:20,742
Faster!

580
00:48:20,743 --> 00:48:23,103
Move! Move!

581
00:48:24,543 --> 00:48:25,823
Forwards!

582
00:48:42,103 --> 00:48:43,703
Faster!

583
00:48:50,463 --> 00:48:52,423
Shield! Shield!

584
00:49:13,183 --> 00:49:14,583
Fill the breach!

585
00:49:22,543 --> 00:49:24,223
Build the wall!

586
00:49:46,743 --> 00:49:48,543
Princess!

587
00:49:51,983 --> 00:49:55,383
I see you, Princess,
and I will kill you!

588
00:49:57,223 --> 00:50:00,023
I will have your head and your tits!

589
00:50:01,863 --> 00:50:03,223
Sigefrid!

590
00:50:08,183 --> 00:50:09,863
Sigefrid!

591
00:50:20,903 --> 00:50:22,143
Princess!

592
00:50:24,383 --> 00:50:25,663
Princess!

593
00:50:32,343 --> 00:50:34,622
Sigefrid!

594
00:50:34,623 --> 00:50:36,582
I'm here!

595
00:50:36,583 --> 00:50:38,023
Face me!

596
00:52:22,023 --> 00:52:23,223
Leave us.

597
00:52:35,303 --> 00:52:36,863
Uhtred, there are no words.

598
00:52:38,063 --> 00:52:39,582
Say nothing.

599
00:52:39,583 --> 00:52:42,063
You answered my call
at the risk of everything.

600
00:52:43,583 --> 00:52:45,343
I only wish he did survive, Lady.

601
00:52:48,863 --> 00:52:50,183
Erik is still with me.

602
00:52:55,623 --> 00:52:57,063
And perhaps within me.

603
00:53:01,743 --> 00:53:03,662
And if over the coming months,

604
00:53:03,663 --> 00:53:07,102
my husband should think what
you are thinking,

605
00:53:07,103 --> 00:53:10,302
it would be a great comfort, Uhtred,

606
00:53:10,303 --> 00:53:14,142
to know that
I could call upon you again,

607
00:53:14,143 --> 00:53:15,783
should I ever need to.

608
00:53:16,823 --> 00:53:17,863
Of course.

609
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:21,063
Do you swear?

610
00:53:22,663 --> 00:53:25,463
You are the man I trust most,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

611
00:53:31,143 --> 00:53:32,303
I swear.

612
00:53:37,703 --> 00:53:38,903
I swear, Lady.

613
00:53:41,543 --> 00:53:43,143
Then I shall dare to kiss you.

614
00:54:05,223 --> 00:54:07,903
It seems you have made
a habit of rescuing Wessex.

615
00:54:15,703 --> 00:54:19,303
Odda claims that you believed you
were acting upon my orders, Uhtred.

616
00:54:22,303 --> 00:54:23,663
What will happen to him?

617
00:54:26,703 --> 00:54:27,823
There will be a trial.

618
00:54:29,143 --> 00:54:30,503
And then you will kill him.

619
00:54:34,503 --> 00:54:36,143
Treachery could not be ignored.

620
00:54:39,303 --> 00:54:40,343
He's a good man.

621
00:54:42,983 --> 00:54:44,623
He is my friend...

622
00:54:47,823 --> 00:54:49,023
...and a traitor.

623
00:54:53,623 --> 00:54:54,663
May I go, Lord?

624
00:54:57,783 --> 00:54:59,063
You are free to go.

625
00:55:01,303 --> 00:55:03,063
As my oathman.

626
00:55:43,743 --> 00:55:47,103
I would have liked to have seen
my land of Devonshire once more.

627
00:55:51,983 --> 00:55:53,223
How did it look?

628
00:56:00,583 --> 00:56:02,303
Devonshire was beautiful, Lord.

629
00:56:09,543 --> 00:56:10,663
God be with you.

630
00:57:09,743 --> 00:57:11,663
What binds a man to his land?

631
00:57:12,903 --> 00:57:16,782
What power within allows him to
give his life to preserve

632
00:57:16,783 --> 00:57:20,143
his land and the lives of
the families who work it?

633
00:57:23,103 --> 00:57:24,503
It can only be love.

634
00:57:27,663 --> 00:57:30,783
It will not be written
that the Lord Odda saved Wessex...

635
00:57:32,343 --> 00:57:35,422
...but that is the story
I will tell -

636
00:57:35,423 --> 00:57:38,503
that he gave his life to save
the lives of many...

637
00:57:39,943 --> 00:57:43,983
...and ensured King Alfred of Wessex
became more powerful than ever.

638
00:57:47,103 --> 00:57:48,983
Sigefrid had been defeated...

639
00:57:50,863 --> 00:57:54,423
...but Alfred knew as well as I
that the Danes were sure to return.

640
00:57:56,663 --> 00:57:59,942
Shackled by oaths to both
Wessex and Mercia,

641
00:57:59,943 --> 00:58:04,022
it seems fate has made
my sword Saxon,

642
00:58:04,023 --> 00:58:06,863
even though in my heart
I remain a Dane.

643
00:58:09,623 --> 00:58:11,342
I, Uhtred, son of Uhtred,

644
00:58:11,343 --> 00:58:15,142
shall be the warrior to bind
kingdom to kingdom,

645
00:58:15,143 --> 00:58:18,703
honour-bound to forge Alfred's
dream of an England.

646
00:58:21,423 --> 00:58:24,903
But one day,
my sword will belong to Bebbanburg.

647
00:58:26,943 --> 00:58:28,743
Destiny is all.

648
00:58:29,305 --> 00:59:29,495
