1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,559
'I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.

2
00:00:02,262 --> 00:00:04,581
'Sigefrid and Eriks'
army raided our camp

3
00:00:04,582 --> 00:00:07,741
'and kidnapped the Lady
Aethelflaed.'

4
00:00:07,742 --> 00:00:09,461
You took my daughter into battle.

5
00:00:10,731 --> 00:00:15,050
'To learn her fate,
I sent my loyal men Rypere

6
00:00:15,051 --> 00:00:17,650
'and Sihtric to Beamfleot as spies.'

7
00:00:17,651 --> 00:00:21,731
I swear that this prize will not
be sold cheaply.

8
00:00:22,247 --> 00:00:24,926
Wessex shall pay its share of
silver and if necessary

9
00:00:24,927 --> 00:00:26,326
its share of blood!

10
00:00:26,327 --> 00:00:27,926
I will do what needs to be done.

11
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:30,806
What is your opinion on
paying a ransom for Aethelflaed?

12
00:00:30,807 --> 00:00:32,486
Not one I am prepared to say aloud.

13
00:00:32,487 --> 00:00:33,526
I may need you.

14
00:00:33,527 --> 00:00:36,766
'Alfred sent us to negotiate
the ransom, but secretly.

15
00:00:36,767 --> 00:00:40,046
'Aethelflaed and Erik have
fallen in love.'

16
00:00:40,047 --> 00:00:41,927
Your husband is a fortunate man.

17
00:00:43,607 --> 00:00:46,886
He is not the man
I would choose to be with.

18
00:00:46,887 --> 00:00:49,926
I cannot let her go.

19
00:00:49,927 --> 00:00:53,246
I will leave this place with
Erik or I will not leave at all.

20
00:00:53,247 --> 00:00:54,766
Will you help me?

21
00:00:54,767 --> 00:00:56,286
Please?

22
00:00:56,287 --> 00:00:58,087

00:01:41,287 --> 00:01:44,126
What binds a man to a land?

25
00:01:44,127 --> 00:01:49,326
You have a poor wretch, toiling in
the fields, burning in summer,

26
00:01:49,327 --> 00:01:52,646
shivering in winter.
He works all day, every day

27
00:01:52,647 --> 00:01:55,607
for nothing more than a loaf of
bread and a pot to piss in.

28
00:01:56,887 --> 00:02:00,446
His children die of disease,
his wife dies giving him children.

29
00:02:00,447 --> 00:02:05,526
Yet, when that land is threatened,
something stirs. Why?

30
00:02:06,382 --> 00:02:09,261
It is the land that feeds him.

31
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:11,141
More than that.

32
00:02:11,142 --> 00:02:15,381
Er, the trees off the land are used
for shelter and fire.

33
00:02:15,382 --> 00:02:17,381
More than that.

34
00:02:17,382 --> 00:02:19,861
Is it love, Father?

35
00:02:19,862 --> 00:02:23,341
For the Lord's sake,
can you not remain quiet?

36
00:02:23,342 --> 00:02:29,141
But, yes, the bastard has it,
it can only be love.

37
00:02:29,142 --> 00:02:34,062
It is a powerful thing.
Would you not agree, Lord Uhtred?

38
00:02:36,222 --> 00:02:37,461
From wretch to warrior,

39
00:02:37,462 --> 00:02:43,342
love gives a man strength often
at the cost of his mind.

40
00:02:50,822 --> 00:02:52,101
How much?

41
00:02:52,102 --> 00:02:55,102
It's not a small amount, Lord.

42
00:02:56,822 --> 00:03:00,741
3,000 lbs weight of silver
and 500 lbs weight of gold.

43
00:03:00,742 --> 00:03:04,221
The first of the metal is to be
delivered by the next full moon,

44
00:03:04,222 --> 00:03:06,421
the remaining amount one month
later.

45
00:03:06,422 --> 00:03:08,141
That is an impossible amount.

46
00:03:08,142 --> 00:03:09,621
An absurd amount.

47
00:03:09,622 --> 00:03:11,461
That is the best price?
It is, Lord.

48
00:03:11,462 --> 00:03:13,621
It is less than half their
first demand, Lord.

49
00:03:13,622 --> 00:03:15,781
What it is
is the entire wealth of Wessex.

50
00:03:15,782 --> 00:03:18,941
What it would buy is an army to
ensure the end of Wessex and Mercia.

51
00:03:18,942 --> 00:03:24,422
Without the money...
what will happen to my daughter?

52
00:03:26,862 --> 00:03:30,821
She is too valuable to simply kill,
Lord, it would be humiliation.

53
00:03:30,822 --> 00:03:35,581
She will be taken to every town
where Danes rule, she will be

54
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:40,862
paraded before mocking crowds and
men would pay to take their turn.

55
00:04:00,422 --> 00:04:03,461
It is not just the life and
reputation of my daughter at

56
00:04:03,462 --> 00:04:08,421
stake here,
it is the dignity of Wessex.

57
00:04:08,422 --> 00:04:13,821
So, many thousands of men must die,
Lord, for the dignity of Wessex?

58
00:04:13,822 --> 00:04:15,901
Yes, Odda.

59
00:04:15,902 --> 00:04:18,781
A country is its history,
the sum of all its stories -

60
00:04:18,782 --> 00:04:20,661
we are what our fathers made us.

61
00:04:20,662 --> 00:04:24,021
Would you have me leave my
descendants the shameful tale

62
00:04:24,022 --> 00:04:28,581
of how a Princess of Wessex was
whored to the highest bidder?

63
00:04:28,582 --> 00:04:31,581
That is a tale that would
overshadow all others.

64
00:04:31,582 --> 00:04:35,261
The battle of Ethandun would
become insignificant.

65
00:04:35,262 --> 00:04:38,261
But, Lord, if we pay this ransom...

66
00:04:38,262 --> 00:04:40,781
I do not see how there will be
a Wessex.

67
00:04:40,782 --> 00:04:43,421
The tale they tell will be of the
king who paid for the very

68
00:04:43,422 --> 00:04:44,981
army that destroyed him!

69
00:04:44,982 --> 00:04:46,741
God would not allow that to happen.

70
00:04:46,742 --> 00:04:49,701
It's not God we are dealing with,
it is the Northmen, the Danes!

71
00:04:49,702 --> 00:04:52,821
Non-believers,
over whom we will triumph.

72
00:04:52,822 --> 00:04:54,621
Should a great battle come of this,

73
00:04:54,622 --> 00:04:56,381
we shall have men enough
to face them.

74
00:04:56,382 --> 00:04:58,501
I expect the fyrd of Mercia
to be at our side.

75
00:04:58,502 --> 00:04:59,741
It shall be there, Lord.

76
00:04:59,742 --> 00:05:02,301
The metal will be paid, in full.

77
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,101
My daughter will be spared and
Wessex shall avoid indignity.

78
00:05:05,102 --> 00:05:07,021
But not the slaughter.

79
00:05:07,022 --> 00:05:11,662
Odda, I hear your doubts and I ask
you to renew your faith.

80
00:05:14,422 --> 00:05:16,102
Yes, Lord.

81
00:05:17,622 --> 00:05:20,741
Aethelred, you will join Father Beocca
and I before returning to Mercia.

82
00:05:20,742 --> 00:05:23,821
We must decide how best to
gather the ransom.

83
00:05:23,822 --> 00:05:25,982
Yes, Lord.

84
00:05:31,022 --> 00:05:32,901
This cannot be how it ends.

85
00:05:32,902 --> 00:05:35,541
Lord, you have said all you can say.

86
00:05:35,542 --> 00:05:37,741
And bravely.

87
00:05:37,742 --> 00:05:41,102
There's nothing more for you to do,
so I beg you - do nothing.

88
00:06:04,702 --> 00:06:06,782
Lord?

89
00:06:14,022 --> 00:06:15,582
Lord?

90
00:06:16,942 --> 00:06:18,342
Dagfinn, you can go.

91
00:06:19,902 --> 00:06:21,581
All of you.

92
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,861
Yes, Lord.

93
00:06:23,862 --> 00:06:25,382
Do you have it?

94
00:06:28,422 --> 00:06:30,501
Is that enough?

95
00:06:30,502 --> 00:06:31,662
Yes.

96
00:06:34,462 --> 00:06:35,501
Uhtred can read?

97
00:06:35,502 --> 00:06:38,981
All of my father's ealdormen can
read and write.

98
00:06:38,982 --> 00:06:41,101
Although the letters Uhtred
has written,

99
00:06:41,102 --> 00:06:42,862
you could count with one finger.

100
00:06:45,542 --> 00:06:47,462
I will teach you.

101
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:51,981
What is to prevent him from
doing nothing?

102
00:06:51,982 --> 00:06:55,541
We are asking him to risk
everything for no reward.

103
00:06:55,542 --> 00:06:57,381
Why should he come?

104
00:06:57,382 --> 00:07:01,582
It is Uhtred, he will come. I swear.

105
00:07:12,222 --> 00:07:13,981
He's with her, again?

106
00:07:13,982 --> 00:07:15,741
He is.

107
00:07:15,742 --> 00:07:17,181
He cannot keep away from her.

108
00:07:17,182 --> 00:07:19,462
Let us hope he does not take
her for his wife...

109
00:07:20,862 --> 00:07:23,101
or else our fortune is lost.

110
00:07:23,102 --> 00:07:25,222
Is this true?

111
00:07:34,422 --> 00:07:38,141
Sigefrid! Which woman is mine?

112
00:07:38,142 --> 00:07:40,501
The ugly one.

113
00:07:40,502 --> 00:07:44,741
We walked them for miles,
see they are fed and watered.

114
00:07:44,742 --> 00:07:46,582
Horses and slaves.

115
00:07:53,462 --> 00:07:56,422
You are called Sihtric?

116
00:07:58,622 --> 00:08:02,141
Yes, Lord. Good evening to you,
Lord.

117
00:08:02,142 --> 00:08:04,342
Uhtred says you can be trusted.

118
00:08:05,702 --> 00:08:07,822
So you will take him this letter.

119
00:08:15,502 --> 00:08:17,142
This is a great responsibility.

120
00:08:28,622 --> 00:08:30,981
They will have no peace.

121
00:08:30,982 --> 00:08:32,782
None.

122
00:08:34,342 --> 00:08:37,062
I have told them the same.

123
00:08:38,182 --> 00:08:39,901
But you will still help them?

124
00:08:39,902 --> 00:08:41,981
I must, I have no choice.

125
00:08:41,982 --> 00:08:47,541
If they escape then there will be
no ransom paid. No great army.

126
00:08:47,542 --> 00:08:52,902
The men of Wessex are saved, yes,
but what becomes of you?

127
00:08:54,182 --> 00:08:55,501
Of us?

128
00:08:55,502 --> 00:08:57,741
Alfred will see it as a betrayal.

129
00:08:57,742 --> 00:08:59,342
You will have broken your oath.

130
00:09:01,022 --> 00:09:02,062
We leave.

131
00:09:05,542 --> 00:09:09,982
Tomorrow I will make
a sacrifice to keep you safe.

132
00:09:11,782 --> 00:09:13,302
All of us?

133
00:09:20,822 --> 00:09:22,901
Give your name to the scribe.

134
00:09:22,902 --> 00:09:28,101
The sum of your contribution will be
written beside your name.

135
00:09:28,102 --> 00:09:31,741
We're helping to free the
Lady Aethelflaed.

136
00:09:31,742 --> 00:09:33,701
I've got nothing to give,
I've got a family.

137
00:09:33,702 --> 00:09:36,381
Any man or woman found to be hiding
the value of their wealth

138
00:09:36,382 --> 00:09:37,901
shall be punished.

139
00:09:37,902 --> 00:09:40,342
All must pay their share.

140
00:09:41,862 --> 00:09:47,301
You have the gratitude of the King,
and of God.

141
00:09:47,302 --> 00:09:49,221
Name?

142
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:50,262
Dorridge.

143
00:09:56,982 --> 00:09:58,661
Lord?

144
00:09:58,662 --> 00:10:00,741
News, Lord.

145
00:10:00,742 --> 00:10:02,461
Speak.

146
00:10:02,462 --> 00:10:06,022
Say to the King exactly what you
said to me. Exactly.

147
00:10:12,262 --> 00:10:14,181
Lord, this man is from Canterbury.

148
00:10:14,182 --> 00:10:18,381
The Northmen at Beamfleot are now
crossing the river and

149
00:10:18,382 --> 00:10:19,741
raiding directly into Wessex.

150
00:10:19,742 --> 00:10:22,021
They have taken my wife
and daughters, Lord.

151
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:24,821
The youngest is just eight years.

152
00:10:24,822 --> 00:10:29,142
While we do nothing, Lord, but
gather half-pennies from the poor.

153
00:10:31,102 --> 00:10:33,621
Father, you will take this man away,

154
00:10:33,622 --> 00:10:35,741
feed him and give him rest
at an inn.

155
00:10:35,742 --> 00:10:37,622
Lord.

156
00:10:40,422 --> 00:10:42,781
Odda, what is it you want?

157
00:10:42,782 --> 00:10:47,901
Lord, he is just one man, but he
has lost two brothers at Ethandun,

158
00:10:47,902 --> 00:10:51,421
two daughters and a wife to the
Northmen, and yet guards will

159
00:10:51,422 --> 00:10:54,141
knock at his door and demand one
third of the little he has,

160
00:10:54,142 --> 00:10:57,101
all to help preserve
the dignity of Wessex.

161
00:10:57,102 --> 00:10:59,501
This insolence is too much.

162
00:10:59,502 --> 00:11:03,141
Then in six months'
time we shall ask for his life!

163
00:11:03,142 --> 00:11:08,141
What I want, Lord,
is for good sense to prevail.

164
00:11:08,142 --> 00:11:11,301
By good sense, I presume you mean
the death or humiliation of my

165
00:11:11,302 --> 00:11:14,341
daughter and of the
reputation of Wessex?

166
00:11:14,342 --> 00:11:16,621
Or we march, Lord, and we fight.

167
00:11:16,622 --> 00:11:18,901
If we march they will kill her.

168
00:11:18,902 --> 00:11:21,781
And she will be considered a martyr,
for Wessex, Lord,

169
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:23,541
her dignity preserved!

170
00:11:23,542 --> 00:11:26,742
And you would still have the
Prince, Edward, your line is intact!

171
00:11:32,982 --> 00:11:35,941
Odda, what has saved you from
outright banishment is that

172
00:11:35,942 --> 00:11:38,541
you chose your King over
your own son.

173
00:11:38,542 --> 00:11:40,941
Lord, I chose Wessex over my son.

174
00:11:40,942 --> 00:11:44,582
A traitor! You should at least
consider doing the same!

175
00:11:51,102 --> 00:11:52,542
What am I to do with you?

176
00:11:57,142 --> 00:12:00,621
Your injury and your
appetite for wine

177
00:12:00,622 --> 00:12:03,302
have robbed us both of your worth.

178
00:12:07,822 --> 00:12:09,382
You no longer serve a purpose.

179
00:12:13,262 --> 00:12:15,021
Then, with your permission, Lord,

180
00:12:15,022 --> 00:12:19,221
I shall return to my estate and my
wife at Devonshire.

181
00:12:19,222 --> 00:12:22,702
Whilst it is still a Saxon estate.

182
00:12:24,782 --> 00:12:26,302
That would be for the best.

183
00:12:28,462 --> 00:12:30,622
Should you be needed you will
be sent for.

184
00:13:25,062 --> 00:13:27,302
They buy the very swords that
will slay them.

185
00:13:33,382 --> 00:13:35,022
Lord, good evening.

186
00:13:39,542 --> 00:13:41,022
I am a moth to the flame.

187
00:13:43,382 --> 00:13:45,821
Yes, it is becoming
a significant amount.

188
00:13:45,822 --> 00:13:51,221
Significant is the word, Lord,
in its size and its effect.

189
00:13:51,222 --> 00:13:52,942
Your father... The King?

190
00:13:56,822 --> 00:13:58,302
He would have done the same.

191
00:13:59,702 --> 00:14:02,781
Pay such a ransom for his
offspring, Lord? I doubt it.

192
00:14:02,782 --> 00:14:06,461
I was a great disappointment
to him...

193
00:14:06,462 --> 00:14:07,742
which I regret.

194
00:14:09,062 --> 00:14:11,861
But if you were not such
a disappointment, Aethelwold,

195
00:14:11,862 --> 00:14:13,262
I may have had you killed.

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

197
00:14:17,622 --> 00:14:21,262
Never doubt it, every decision
I make is for my country.

198
00:14:23,582 --> 00:14:24,622
Yes, Lord.

199
00:14:26,662 --> 00:14:28,142
I understand completely.

200
00:14:52,382 --> 00:14:53,422
Lord Odda.

201
00:14:54,862 --> 00:14:57,661
You will set tongues wagging,
drinking with the peasants.

202
00:14:57,662 --> 00:14:59,182
Let them wag if it please them.

203
00:15:01,382 --> 00:15:04,101
You asked me some days ago if I
agree with the payment of

204
00:15:04,102 --> 00:15:05,462
a ransom.

205
00:15:09,182 --> 00:15:10,462
I do not.

206
00:15:13,223 --> 00:15:18,783
If I had an army to call upon,
a fyrd to raise, I would prove it.

207
00:15:22,143 --> 00:15:23,823
But I have not.

208
00:15:38,063 --> 00:15:39,943
I appear to have joined you, Lord.

209
00:15:50,343 --> 00:15:53,062
He's been there for part of
the day and all of the night.

210
00:15:53,063 --> 00:15:55,822
He's a good man and I worry that it
will damage his reputation, Lord.

211
00:15:55,823 --> 00:15:58,422
If he can stand,
it can only enhance his reputation.

212
00:15:58,423 --> 00:16:02,303
Lord. May we join you?

213
00:16:04,903 --> 00:16:07,982
Is he here still or
has he already left?

214
00:16:07,983 --> 00:16:09,422
Aethelwold?

215
00:16:09,423 --> 00:16:11,983
Erm, no, he's long gone, Lord.

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

217
00:16:17,823 --> 00:16:21,302
It is entirely possible.

218
00:16:21,303 --> 00:16:25,222
Though the ale they brew here is
weak upon the orders of Alfred.

219
00:16:25,223 --> 00:16:26,343
You're joking, Lord.

220
00:16:27,783 --> 00:16:29,502
What, that's true?

221
00:16:29,503 --> 00:16:30,982
It is, yes.

222
00:16:30,983 --> 00:16:36,062
It is so a man can work
the next day,

223
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:38,823
and swords remain in scabbards.

224
00:16:42,663 --> 00:16:44,503
But they must not.

225
00:16:51,063 --> 00:16:52,703
Somebody needs a bed.

226
00:16:56,143 --> 00:16:57,782
And you will stay with him?

227
00:16:57,783 --> 00:16:58,822
And do what?

228
00:16:58,823 --> 00:17:01,782
If he needs to piss or spew up,
you'll fetch him a bucket.

229
00:17:01,783 --> 00:17:04,823
I have a plan,
though it is likely I will die.

230
00:17:06,863 --> 00:17:09,463
What is this plan, Lord, tell me?

231
00:17:11,703 --> 00:17:14,742
I will raise the Devonshire fyrd.

232
00:17:14,743 --> 00:17:20,142
Against the King's wishes, Lord? That
is not something he would forgive.

233
00:17:20,143 --> 00:17:22,183
Lord?!

234
00:17:27,703 --> 00:17:29,222
He will go nowhere.

235
00:17:29,223 --> 00:17:33,022
And you will go nowhere and you will
say nothing about what you

236
00:17:33,023 --> 00:17:34,422
have just heard. Yes, Lord.

237
00:17:34,423 --> 00:17:35,983
You mean, "No, Lord".

238
00:17:37,983 --> 00:17:39,543
I... Do as I say.

239
00:18:32,423 --> 00:18:34,702
So, what does it say?

240
00:18:34,703 --> 00:18:37,302
Erik has enough oathmen
to crew a ship.

241
00:18:37,303 --> 00:18:40,302
Three nights before the first of
the metal is to be delivered,

242
00:18:40,303 --> 00:18:43,062
we make our way down river
to Beamfleot.

243
00:18:43,063 --> 00:18:45,222
We kill the men that stand
guard over the ships.

244
00:18:45,223 --> 00:18:47,902
Erik and Aethelflaed sail away.
And Wessex is saved.

245
00:18:47,903 --> 00:18:51,902
How many guards?
Eight or ten, on the shore.

246
00:18:51,903 --> 00:18:53,342
That is all? Yes.

247
00:18:53,343 --> 00:18:54,542
It's as simple as that?

248
00:18:54,543 --> 00:18:56,862
Erik is in command,
his men guard Aethelflaed,

249
00:18:56,863 --> 00:18:59,222
his ship is ready and waiting.

250
00:18:59,223 --> 00:19:02,182
It begins, it's simple.
What happens is fate.

251
00:19:02,183 --> 00:19:04,342
Well, why go by river and not
horseback?

252
00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:07,382
If we go with the tide it'll be
faster, and to escape

253
00:19:07,383 --> 00:19:09,302
we row across river.

254
00:19:09,303 --> 00:19:10,542
They will follow you.

255
00:19:10,543 --> 00:19:14,623
They will follow Aethelflaed.
She's the silver.

256
00:19:32,663 --> 00:19:34,062
Father Pyrlig?

257
00:19:34,063 --> 00:19:37,222
Lord. You came from nowhere,
like the devil himself.

258
00:19:37,223 --> 00:19:39,102
You're leaving us?

259
00:19:39,103 --> 00:19:43,902
I am. I've invited myself to
Devonshire with the Lord Odda.

260
00:19:43,903 --> 00:19:47,182
Looking forward to cooling my
feet in the blue waters of the sea.

261
00:19:47,183 --> 00:19:48,822
You're spying for Alfred.

262
00:19:48,823 --> 00:19:51,543
Of course I'm spying for Alfred,
I despise the sea.

263
00:19:53,863 --> 00:19:56,702
Should Odda decide to do
anything rash,

264
00:19:56,703 --> 00:19:59,582
you will tell him to hold fast?

265
00:19:59,583 --> 00:20:01,902
And why should he listen to me?

266
00:20:01,903 --> 00:20:04,383
Do you have a reason you
would like to share?

267
00:20:06,703 --> 00:20:07,903
He is behind you.

268
00:20:09,543 --> 00:20:12,302
Lord? Did you sleep well?

269
00:20:12,303 --> 00:20:15,822
Uhtred, I did, soundly.

270
00:20:15,823 --> 00:20:19,142
Though I'm not sure
how I found my bed.

271
00:20:19,143 --> 00:20:22,982
You were a little worse for ale,
Lord, but no bother.

272
00:20:22,983 --> 00:20:25,542
I'm glad to hear it.

273
00:20:25,543 --> 00:20:27,303
You spoke of a plan.

274
00:20:29,863 --> 00:20:30,902
I did?

275
00:20:32,423 --> 00:20:33,943
Am I to be reminded?

276
00:20:34,983 --> 00:20:36,743
The men of Devonshire.

277
00:20:37,703 --> 00:20:39,423
They should remain in the fields.

278
00:20:41,383 --> 00:20:43,062
I must have been very drunk.

279
00:20:43,063 --> 00:20:45,942
It can be the only explanation,
Lord.

280
00:20:45,943 --> 00:20:47,342
Yes.

281
00:20:47,343 --> 00:20:48,382
You swear?

282
00:20:48,383 --> 00:20:52,743
On my life. I have
no memory of it whatsoever.

283
00:20:54,143 --> 00:20:59,743
Lord, I dare say this to you as
your friend - do nothing.

284
00:21:01,383 --> 00:21:05,142
If I do not see you again,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg,

285
00:21:05,143 --> 00:21:10,622
I wish you good luck,
wherever fate may take you.

286
00:21:10,623 --> 00:21:12,223
Thank you, Lord.

287
00:21:33,703 --> 00:21:36,183
Should we pray, Lord? Together?

288
00:21:38,503 --> 00:21:42,743
Am I being selfish,
in wanting to spare Aethelflaed?

289
00:21:44,063 --> 00:21:49,902
Lord, you were her father
before you were a king.

290
00:21:49,903 --> 00:21:55,343
But your reasons stand -
she is Wessex.

291
00:21:56,503 --> 00:22:00,023
She's the blood,
the heart and the spirit of Wessex.

292
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:03,783
She cannot be humiliated.

293
00:22:31,623 --> 00:22:33,662
Dagfinn!

294
00:22:33,663 --> 00:22:35,542
Dagfinn!

295
00:22:35,543 --> 00:22:37,062
Where is she?

296
00:22:37,063 --> 00:22:38,103
Lord? I...

297
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:55,662
Now it is clear.
Each man has a right to see her.

298
00:22:55,663 --> 00:23:00,263
And every man will guard her
with his life!

299
00:23:03,663 --> 00:23:07,783
She is our wealth.
She belongs to us all!

300
00:23:24,343 --> 00:23:25,942
Dear God!

301
00:23:25,943 --> 00:23:27,582
Who might they be?

302
00:23:27,583 --> 00:23:30,983
They are the Devonshire fyrd,
Father Pyrlig.

303
00:23:34,143 --> 00:23:37,782
You are here as Alfred's spy.
You will go no further.

304
00:23:37,783 --> 00:23:40,262
You will get down from your horse
and you will walk back to

305
00:23:40,263 --> 00:23:42,022
Winchester with your news.

306
00:23:42,023 --> 00:23:44,742
And what news is that, Lord?
What do you mean?

307
00:23:44,743 --> 00:23:48,742
You will tell the King that Odda is
marching against the enemies of Wessex.

308
00:23:48,743 --> 00:23:51,262
He can either march to halt
me or march to join me,

309
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:53,062
it does not matter which.

310
00:23:53,063 --> 00:23:57,542
Once the Northmen at Beamfleot see
an army, battle will follow.

311
00:23:57,543 --> 00:24:00,742
Please, Lord. Think about what you are
doing, you are making traitors of your men!

312
00:24:00,743 --> 00:24:04,583
The men you see are here to die for
their King, not betray him.

313
00:24:05,583 --> 00:24:07,902
They know nothing
of Alfred's weakness.

314
00:24:07,903 --> 00:24:11,142
But Uhtred, Lord!
Did he not ask you to do nothing?

315
00:24:11,143 --> 00:24:14,342
You will get down from your horse
and you will return to Winchester.

316
00:24:14,343 --> 00:24:15,623
And if I refuse?

317
00:24:16,903 --> 00:24:18,823
Now, Father Pyrlig.

318
00:24:32,143 --> 00:24:35,103
Lord, I beg you, think again.

319
00:25:02,623 --> 00:25:03,663
Thank you.

320
00:25:06,863 --> 00:25:08,063
What's your name?

321
00:25:32,863 --> 00:25:34,863
I asked for ten, Dagfinn!

322
00:25:36,023 --> 00:25:39,222
How are we supposed to scrub down
a ship with three men?

323
00:25:39,223 --> 00:25:41,743
The men refuse to leave
the hall, Lord.

324
00:25:42,743 --> 00:25:44,622
Refuse?

325
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:47,382
They say they are
protecting their wealth,

326
00:25:47,383 --> 00:25:49,582
under the orders of Sigefrid.

327
00:25:49,583 --> 00:25:51,183
Who said this? Name them.

328
00:25:56,823 --> 00:26:00,783
Your brother has called for more
guards, Lord, until the metal comes.

329
00:26:02,463 --> 00:26:03,503
Erik!

330
00:26:05,423 --> 00:26:07,423
You have been sleeping
at the river.

331
00:26:08,983 --> 00:26:10,502
Why?

332
00:26:10,503 --> 00:26:12,063
You have made a fool of me.

333
00:26:15,703 --> 00:26:18,262
You have humped her enough.

334
00:26:18,263 --> 00:26:20,983
You have fed and washed her enough.

335
00:26:22,223 --> 00:26:25,142
Do not allow the men to see
what I know for certain -

336
00:26:25,143 --> 00:26:26,663
you have grown too fond of her.

337
00:26:27,823 --> 00:26:30,902
It is not her arse you want,
it is herself.

338
00:26:30,903 --> 00:26:32,223
It will pass.

339
00:26:33,943 --> 00:26:35,183
You have shamed me.

340
00:26:37,663 --> 00:26:39,063
What I have done...

341
00:26:40,503 --> 00:26:41,903
is protect you.

342
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:47,462
Erik, my brother, what is happening
around us is your plan.

343
00:26:47,463 --> 00:26:49,742
And it is a fine plan -

344
00:26:49,743 --> 00:26:52,382
to give up Lunden and take
the Princess to ransom her

345
00:26:52,383 --> 00:26:56,502
for ships full of gold and silver,
on which we will build an army

346
00:26:56,503 --> 00:27:01,183
that no man will want to face
and every man will want to join.

347
00:27:03,303 --> 00:27:05,863
This will be our land.

348
00:27:07,543 --> 00:27:08,663
All of it.

349
00:27:11,903 --> 00:27:14,543
I will not allow us to fail.

350
00:27:17,903 --> 00:27:20,943
Haesten! A guard every ten paces.
Yes, Lord.

351
00:27:22,543 --> 00:27:26,743
Forgive me, Lord, it's not that
the men do not want to serve you.

352
00:27:27,943 --> 00:27:31,463
It is that they do not know
where your loyalties lie.

353
00:27:50,223 --> 00:27:53,423
Sweet Jesus, I cannot run.
Please let them be Saxon.

354
00:27:56,583 --> 00:27:58,542
Father Pyrlig.

355
00:27:58,543 --> 00:28:02,022
Lord! Thank the Heavens,
a friendly face.

356
00:28:02,023 --> 00:28:03,782
Are you lost, Father?

357
00:28:03,783 --> 00:28:05,782
Not lost but abandoned, Lord.

358
00:28:05,783 --> 00:28:08,662
I'm returning to Winchester with
an important message for Alfred.

359
00:28:08,663 --> 00:28:11,782
We're going to see Alfred.
Climb onto the cart.

360
00:28:11,783 --> 00:28:13,782
You can help guard Mercia's ransom.

361
00:28:13,783 --> 00:28:16,983
God bless you, Lord,
saviour of my blistered feet.

362
00:28:34,263 --> 00:28:35,862
Lord?

363
00:28:35,863 --> 00:28:37,183
Osferth?

364
00:28:46,743 --> 00:28:48,343
Can I say to you that I'm afraid?

365
00:28:51,343 --> 00:28:53,463
I wear a sword but barely
know how to use it.

366
00:28:55,103 --> 00:28:58,823
I pray that when battle comes,
I will not fail you.

367
00:28:59,983 --> 00:29:02,702
Osferth, at times we're all afraid.

368
00:29:02,703 --> 00:29:06,103
Courage is finding the will to
overcome your fear, nothing more.

369
00:29:07,223 --> 00:29:10,862
Perhaps we'll find you an axe.
It requires less skill than a sword.

370
00:29:10,863 --> 00:29:12,703
But you must find the courage.

371
00:29:14,223 --> 00:29:16,102
Yes, Lord.

372
00:29:16,103 --> 00:29:17,783
Thank you, Lord.

373
00:29:41,903 --> 00:29:43,142
Father Pyrlig?

374
00:29:43,143 --> 00:29:45,542
Aethelred and Aldhelm
I was expecting.

375
00:29:45,543 --> 00:29:47,422
It is Odda, Lord.

376
00:29:47,423 --> 00:29:49,982
Prior to leaving Winchester,
he sent a man, some man,

377
00:29:49,983 --> 00:29:52,422
with word to raise
the fighting men of Devonshire.

378
00:29:52,423 --> 00:29:54,382
He has now met them
on the road, Lord.

379
00:29:54,383 --> 00:29:56,502
With the intention of doing what?

380
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:58,702
He is marching against Beamfleot.

381
00:29:58,703 --> 00:30:00,183
Yes, Lord, he is.

382
00:30:16,823 --> 00:30:18,223
Damn him.

383
00:30:20,823 --> 00:30:22,023
I say damn him.

384
00:30:27,143 --> 00:30:28,222
Lord, are we to stop him?

385
00:30:28,223 --> 00:30:30,022
We have
no other choice but to stop him!

386
00:30:30,023 --> 00:30:32,342
We must stop him.
Lord, may I ask, where is Uhtred?

387
00:30:32,343 --> 00:30:34,502
He was not beside Odda,
if that is your meaning.

388
00:30:34,503 --> 00:30:37,342
And it cannot have been Uhtred who
carried the message to Devonshire.

389
00:30:37,343 --> 00:30:39,062
Aethelred,
you have how many men with you?

390
00:30:39,063 --> 00:30:41,382
Over 50, Lord. Household guard.
I can send for many more.

391
00:30:41,383 --> 00:30:43,462
You will do that.
Rest your men and horses,

392
00:30:43,463 --> 00:30:45,782
but you will join me and my own
guard before first light.

393
00:30:45,783 --> 00:30:47,462
If we are to halt Odda,

394
00:30:47,463 --> 00:30:50,943
we must march day and night
and we must pray.

395
00:30:52,743 --> 00:30:54,823
Dear Lord God in Heaven...

396
00:30:55,943 --> 00:31:00,183
grant me the strength
to survive this ordeal.

397
00:31:02,183 --> 00:31:05,583
Give me the courage to overcome
these hardships...

398
00:31:07,863 --> 00:31:11,183
and instil within me faith.

399
00:31:13,463 --> 00:31:15,263
Faith in those I love.

400
00:31:17,823 --> 00:31:19,303
For they will not abandon me.

401
00:31:22,623 --> 00:31:24,103
Lord, I beg of you.

402
00:31:25,783 --> 00:31:27,062
Amen.

403
00:31:27,063 --> 00:31:28,423
Amen.

404
00:31:32,703 --> 00:31:34,022
You!

405
00:31:34,023 --> 00:31:35,383
With me!

406
00:31:40,103 --> 00:31:41,623
Now!

407
00:32:03,823 --> 00:32:05,262
20 guards!

408
00:32:05,263 --> 00:32:08,182
Sihtric, you said it would be
no more than eight or ten.

409
00:32:08,183 --> 00:32:09,302
He cannot count.

410
00:32:09,303 --> 00:32:11,742
No, Lord,
it has never been more than ten men.

411
00:32:11,743 --> 00:32:14,222
Rypere's group will strike
first from the water.

412
00:32:14,223 --> 00:32:16,103
They look to the river, and then...

413
00:32:17,383 --> 00:32:18,742
we kill them.

414
00:32:18,743 --> 00:32:20,302
But, Lord, we are just 11.

415
00:32:20,303 --> 00:32:22,182
Rypere! Two each.

416
00:32:22,183 --> 00:32:24,023
We attack as soon as it's dark.

417
00:32:32,783 --> 00:32:35,983
Brother. May I speak?

418
00:32:42,263 --> 00:32:43,863
I've something to say!

419
00:32:45,743 --> 00:32:47,623
I have something to say
to each of you.

420
00:32:49,583 --> 00:32:54,302
You will be disappointed to know
that this woman here...

421
00:32:54,303 --> 00:32:55,982
is now mine.

422
00:32:55,983 --> 00:32:58,022
No man is to touch her.

423
00:32:58,023 --> 00:32:59,342
Not with his hands,

424
00:32:59,343 --> 00:33:01,543
and most certainly
not with his cock!

425
00:33:03,623 --> 00:33:05,623
She belongs to me!

426
00:33:09,863 --> 00:33:11,383
You weakened me, brother.

427
00:33:12,503 --> 00:33:16,023
It should have been me who took
the Princess and put her in a cage.

428
00:33:18,823 --> 00:33:20,743
Yes, you're right.

429
00:33:22,343 --> 00:33:24,663
I did not think.

430
00:33:26,143 --> 00:33:27,662
You never think.

431
00:33:27,663 --> 00:33:29,462
No!

432
00:33:29,463 --> 00:33:31,663
Because I have you to think for me.

433
00:33:40,463 --> 00:33:43,982
It is three nights before the first
of the silver will arrive.

434
00:33:43,983 --> 00:33:45,422
We must be ready.

435
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:49,062
Tomorrow there will be no more ale,
no more games,

436
00:33:49,063 --> 00:33:51,383
no more fighting over women!

437
00:33:52,983 --> 00:33:55,182
But that is tomorrow.

438
00:33:55,183 --> 00:33:57,062
Tonight...

439
00:33:57,063 --> 00:34:00,943
we drink as if there
were no tomorrow!

440
00:34:07,743 --> 00:34:08,983
Lady!

441
00:34:12,503 --> 00:34:15,023
Have faith. It is tonight.

442
00:34:47,983 --> 00:34:49,503
Men, calm yourselves!

443
00:34:52,823 --> 00:34:54,303
Get the shields!

444
00:35:20,263 --> 00:35:21,743
Rypere!

445
00:35:48,583 --> 00:35:51,422
You! That's enough!

446
00:35:51,423 --> 00:35:52,823
He's not your kill.

447
00:35:58,743 --> 00:36:00,583
That is not how you wet your sword.

448
00:36:01,663 --> 00:36:02,863
Find your courage!

449
00:36:04,263 --> 00:36:07,863
Or find your cross and go back to
the monastery as Alfred would wish.

450
00:36:25,663 --> 00:36:28,183
We shall rest for a short time only.

451
00:36:29,863 --> 00:36:34,302
Take rest. Stay alert.
I want watchmen front and rear.

452
00:36:34,303 --> 00:36:36,183
Feed the horses and yourselves.

453
00:36:37,663 --> 00:36:39,143
Odda is out there. He is near.

454
00:36:41,103 --> 00:36:42,423
As is Aethelflaed, Lord.

455
00:36:43,863 --> 00:36:44,983
We are here for Odda.

456
00:36:51,383 --> 00:36:53,103
Erik should have been here by now.

457
00:36:54,583 --> 00:36:55,942
Something's wrong.

458
00:36:55,943 --> 00:36:58,262
Why increase the number of guards?
For what reason?

459
00:36:58,263 --> 00:36:59,943
Do we care? They are dead.

460
00:37:05,063 --> 00:37:07,182
We go to the fortress.

461
00:37:07,183 --> 00:37:08,302
We do?

462
00:37:08,303 --> 00:37:09,582
We came to free Aethelflaed.

463
00:37:09,583 --> 00:37:11,022
We came to kill the guards.

464
00:37:11,023 --> 00:37:12,623
Bastard, you will say nothing!

465
00:37:13,663 --> 00:37:15,942
The guards will soon be
discovered missing,

466
00:37:15,943 --> 00:37:18,022
and when they are, it's over.

467
00:37:18,023 --> 00:37:19,302
We cannot wait.

468
00:37:19,303 --> 00:37:20,823
But, Lord, we've lost half our men.

469
00:37:22,343 --> 00:37:23,702
And there are hundreds of them,

470
00:37:23,703 --> 00:37:25,782
both inside and outside
the fortress.

471
00:37:25,783 --> 00:37:27,823
Then a few more men
will not be noticed.

472
00:37:31,663 --> 00:37:32,903
We go to the fortress.

473
00:38:09,503 --> 00:38:12,422
Uhtred.
She said that you would come.

474
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:14,302
I dared not believe her,
but you are here.

475
00:38:14,303 --> 00:38:16,622
Tell me what has changed.

476
00:38:16,623 --> 00:38:17,863
In truth?

477
00:38:19,343 --> 00:38:20,503
It is hopeless.

478
00:38:22,743 --> 00:38:26,342
I have no crew for my ship,
but the first task is not how

479
00:38:26,343 --> 00:38:30,022
we escape Beamfleot,
it is how we free Aethelflaed.

480
00:38:30,023 --> 00:38:32,822
She hangs where every
man can see her.

481
00:38:32,823 --> 00:38:37,102
Lord, I enjoy a fight as much as the
next idiot, but this is beyond us.

482
00:38:37,103 --> 00:38:38,542
She's inside the hall?

483
00:38:38,543 --> 00:38:41,822
Inside the hall, inside a cage.
Surrounded by men.

484
00:38:41,823 --> 00:38:43,702
Warriors.

485
00:38:43,703 --> 00:38:46,142
Then we must first
get rid of the men.

486
00:38:46,143 --> 00:38:47,343
We do it now.

487
00:38:59,383 --> 00:39:02,142
Fire! Fire! FIRE!

488
00:39:02,143 --> 00:39:04,942
Outside now! Quickly!

489
00:39:04,943 --> 00:39:07,303
Put the fire out before it spreads!

490
00:39:14,903 --> 00:39:17,262
Find something to carry water!

491
00:39:17,263 --> 00:39:19,743
Six men, stay with the Princess!

492
00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:31,062
Lock the doors!

493
00:39:31,063 --> 00:39:32,263
Uhtred!

494
00:39:38,143 --> 00:39:39,863
Clapa, Sihtric, the cage!

495
00:39:43,223 --> 00:39:44,582
Come on!

496
00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:46,622
This is one bastard lock to break!

497
00:39:46,623 --> 00:39:48,463
Get it done before we burn!

498
00:39:52,103 --> 00:39:54,462
It's all cleared,
the hall of men, Lord.

499
00:39:54,463 --> 00:39:56,143
Now, how do we clear the yard?

500
00:40:04,143 --> 00:40:05,623
They will follow the silver.

501
00:40:06,903 --> 00:40:09,062
Up to the ramparts!

502
00:40:09,063 --> 00:40:11,143
Go! Go!

503
00:40:13,143 --> 00:40:14,423
Where did this begin?

504
00:40:15,743 --> 00:40:18,783
Lady, quickly,
run for the rear gate.

505
00:40:19,823 --> 00:40:21,063
Do not stop!

506
00:40:23,063 --> 00:40:25,222
The Princess! Stop her!

507
00:40:25,223 --> 00:40:26,822
After her!

508
00:40:26,823 --> 00:40:28,703
Get to your horses! Go!

509
00:40:39,983 --> 00:40:43,022
Where is he? Erik! Where is he?

510
00:40:43,023 --> 00:40:44,422
Lord, I do not know.

511
00:40:44,423 --> 00:40:46,383
I have not seen him
outside of the hall!

512
00:41:16,743 --> 00:41:17,783
No!

513
00:41:23,783 --> 00:41:26,063
Erik!

514
00:41:31,903 --> 00:41:33,622
Erik!

515
00:41:33,623 --> 00:41:36,982
Do not do this.
Do not dare to do this!

516
00:41:36,983 --> 00:41:40,302
Brother,
please let me have this one chance.

517
00:41:40,303 --> 00:41:41,782
I cannot let her go.

518
00:41:41,783 --> 00:41:45,502
She's our fortune!
She's our reputation!

519
00:41:45,503 --> 00:41:48,342
If it's reputation you want,
you can begin with killing me.

520
00:41:48,343 --> 00:41:50,142
Uhtred, no!

521
00:41:50,143 --> 00:41:53,983
If you want your fortune,
you must kill me!

522
00:41:56,023 --> 00:41:57,103
No!

523
00:42:00,783 --> 00:42:02,422
No! Argh!

524
00:42:02,423 --> 00:42:03,663
Clapa, the cage!

525
00:42:38,943 --> 00:42:40,943
Uhtred, get her out of here!

526
00:42:43,063 --> 00:42:44,903
Erik, no!

527
00:42:56,983 --> 00:42:58,142
No...

528
00:42:58,143 --> 00:43:00,862
We need to go. Aethelflaed!

529
00:43:00,863 --> 00:43:02,183
No!

530
00:43:20,063 --> 00:43:21,103
You...

531
00:43:22,703 --> 00:43:24,023
You did this.

532
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:33,903
You've killed us both.

533
00:44:17,623 --> 00:44:19,263
Quickly!

534
00:44:47,463 --> 00:44:48,943
Clapa, with us!

535
00:44:52,783 --> 00:44:54,023
Clapa!

536
00:44:55,063 --> 00:44:56,263
Clapa!

537
00:45:02,103 --> 00:45:03,383
We go!

538
00:45:25,983 --> 00:45:27,783
She's escaping with Uhtred!

539
00:45:31,263 --> 00:45:32,782
I want them dead!

540
00:45:32,783 --> 00:45:35,182
Everyone after them!

541
00:45:35,183 --> 00:45:36,663
Go!

542
00:45:42,503 --> 00:45:46,062
Lord, I'm grateful to see you,
as are my men.

543
00:45:46,063 --> 00:45:49,103
I've told each one of them we are
here on the orders of Alfred.

544
00:45:54,223 --> 00:45:56,822
Lord, as you appear to have marched
an army to their door,

545
00:45:56,823 --> 00:45:59,783
I doubt the Northmen will believe
you are not here to fight.

546
00:46:03,463 --> 00:46:04,743
Why, Odda?

547
00:46:06,823 --> 00:46:08,662
Why?

548
00:46:08,663 --> 00:46:09,783
For Wessex, Lord.

549
00:46:11,063 --> 00:46:12,383
Only for Wessex.

550
00:46:17,383 --> 00:46:18,623
Lord, the sky!

551
00:46:20,103 --> 00:46:21,383
It must be Beamfleot.

552
00:46:23,543 --> 00:46:25,062
It is an army, Lord!

553
00:46:25,063 --> 00:46:27,303
It's Odda. It's Odda's army!

554
00:46:31,383 --> 00:46:33,782
Stand ready! Stand ready!

555
00:46:33,783 --> 00:46:36,982
Good God, I think it is Uhtred.

556
00:46:36,983 --> 00:46:39,903
It is her, it is Aethelflaed.
They have her.

557
00:46:46,183 --> 00:46:49,542
Lord, we are being
pursued by Sigefrid.

558
00:46:49,543 --> 00:46:51,742
The Danes are low in number
and disorganised.

559
00:46:51,743 --> 00:46:53,302
My advice is that we kill them all.

560
00:46:53,303 --> 00:46:55,502
Steapa, put a guard around
my daughter. Keep her safe.

561
00:46:55,503 --> 00:46:57,863
Father, I want to fight them!
You will do as I say!

562
00:47:07,743 --> 00:47:09,222
Erik is dead, Lord.

563
00:47:09,223 --> 00:47:12,382
Sigefrid will have no mind
to negotiate nor wait.

564
00:47:12,383 --> 00:47:14,262
He wants Saxon blood.

565
00:47:14,263 --> 00:47:15,703
We have to fight!

566
00:47:17,343 --> 00:47:19,863
Shield wall, Lord -
only you can give the order.

567
00:47:23,383 --> 00:47:26,143
Lord, we only have
a fraction of their number.

568
00:47:27,863 --> 00:47:28,943
We cannot win.

569
00:47:31,863 --> 00:47:32,903
I am ready.

570
00:47:37,223 --> 00:47:38,423
Lord?

571
00:47:41,143 --> 00:47:42,303
To die.

572
00:47:47,503 --> 00:47:48,823
It will be today.

573
00:47:55,383 --> 00:47:57,183
Who is with me?

574
00:47:58,903 --> 00:48:00,743
Who is ready for glory...

575
00:48:01,983 --> 00:48:03,863
or Valhalla?

576
00:48:12,583 --> 00:48:14,862
Shield wall! Shield wall!

577
00:48:14,863 --> 00:48:16,543
Shield wall!

578
00:48:18,063 --> 00:48:19,742
Faster!

579
00:48:19,743 --> 00:48:22,103
Move! Move!

580
00:48:23,543 --> 00:48:24,823
Forwards!

581
00:48:41,103 --> 00:48:42,703
Faster!

582
00:48:49,463 --> 00:48:51,423
Shield! Shield!

583
00:49:12,183 --> 00:49:13,583
Fill the breach!

584
00:49:21,543 --> 00:49:23,223
Build the wall!

585
00:49:45,743 --> 00:49:47,543
Princess!

586
00:49:50,983 --> 00:49:54,383
I see you, Princess,
and I will kill you!

587
00:49:56,223 --> 00:49:59,023
I will have your head and your tits!

588
00:50:00,863 --> 00:50:02,223
Sigefrid!

589
00:50:07,183 --> 00:50:08,863
Sigefrid!

590
00:50:19,903 --> 00:50:21,143
Princess!

591
00:50:23,383 --> 00:50:24,663
Princess!

592
00:50:31,343 --> 00:50:33,622
Sigefrid!

593
00:50:33,623 --> 00:50:35,582
I'm here!

594
00:50:35,583 --> 00:50:37,023
Face me!

595
00:52:21,023 --> 00:52:22,223
Leave us.

596
00:52:34,303 --> 00:52:35,863
Uhtred, there are no words.

597
00:52:37,063 --> 00:52:38,582
Say nothing.

598
00:52:38,583 --> 00:52:41,063
You answered my call
at the risk of everything.

599
00:52:42,583 --> 00:52:44,343
I only wish he did survive, Lady.

600
00:52:47,863 --> 00:52:49,183
Erik is still with me.

601
00:52:54,623 --> 00:52:56,063
And perhaps within me.

602
00:53:00,743 --> 00:53:02,662
And if over the coming months,

603
00:53:02,663 --> 00:53:06,102
my husband should think what
you are thinking,

604
00:53:06,103 --> 00:53:09,302
it would be a great comfort, Uhtred,

605
00:53:09,303 --> 00:53:13,142
to know that
I could call upon you again,

606
00:53:13,143 --> 00:53:14,783
should I ever need to.

607
00:53:15,823 --> 00:53:16,863
Of course.

608
00:53:18,863 --> 00:53:20,063
Do you swear?

609
00:53:21,663 --> 00:53:24,463
You are the man I trust most,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

610
00:53:30,143 --> 00:53:31,303
I swear.

611
00:53:36,703 --> 00:53:37,903
I swear, Lady.

612
00:53:40,543 --> 00:53:42,143
Then I shall dare to kiss you.

613
00:54:04,223 --> 00:54:06,903
It seems you have made
a habit of rescuing Wessex.

614
00:54:14,703 --> 00:54:18,303
Odda claims that you believed you
were acting upon my orders, Uhtred.

615
00:54:21,303 --> 00:54:22,663
What will happen to him?

616
00:54:25,703 --> 00:54:26,823
There will be a trial.

617
00:54:28,143 --> 00:54:29,503
And then you will kill him.

618
00:54:33,503 --> 00:54:35,143
Treachery could not be ignored.

619
00:54:38,303 --> 00:54:39,343
He's a good man.

620
00:54:41,983 --> 00:54:43,623
He is my friend...

621
00:54:46,823 --> 00:54:48,023
and a traitor.

622
00:54:52,623 --> 00:54:53,663
May I go, Lord?

623
00:54:56,783 --> 00:54:58,063
You are free to go.

624
00:55:00,303 --> 00:55:02,063
As my oathman.

625
00:55:42,743 --> 00:55:46,103
I would have liked to have seen
my land of Devonshire once more.

626
00:55:50,983 --> 00:55:52,223
How did it look?

627
00:55:59,583 --> 00:56:01,303
Devonshire was beautiful, Lord.

628
00:56:08,543 --> 00:56:09,663
God be with you.

629
00:57:08,743 --> 00:57:10,663
What binds a man to his land?

630
00:57:11,903 --> 00:57:15,782
What power within allows him to
give his life to preserve

631
00:57:15,783 --> 00:57:19,143
his land and the lives of
the families who work it?

632
00:57:22,103 --> 00:57:23,503
It can only be love.

633
00:57:26,663 --> 00:57:29,783
It will not be written
that the Lord Odda saved Wessex...

634
00:57:31,343 --> 00:57:34,422
but that is the story
I will tell -

635
00:57:34,423 --> 00:57:37,503
that he gave his life to save
the lives of many...

636
00:57:38,943 --> 00:57:42,983
and ensured King Alfred of Wessex
became more powerful than ever.

637
00:57:46,103 --> 00:57:47,983
Sigefrid had been defeated...

638
00:57:49,863 --> 00:57:53,423
but Alfred knew as well as I
that the Danes were sure to return.

639
00:57:55,663 --> 00:57:58,942
Shackled by oaths to both
Wessex and Mercia,

640
00:57:58,943 --> 00:58:03,022
it seems fate has made
my sword Saxon,

641
00:58:03,023 --> 00:58:05,863
even though in my heart
I remain a Dane.

642
00:58:08,623 --> 00:58:10,342
I, Uhtred, son of Uhtred,

643
00:58:10,343 --> 00:58:14,142
shall be the warrior to bind
kingdom to kingdom,

644
00:58:14,143 --> 00:58:17,703
honour-bound to forge Alfred's
dream of an England.

645
00:58:20,423 --> 00:58:23,903
But one day,
my sword will belong to Bebbanburg.

646
00:58:25,943 --> 00:58:27,743
Destiny is all.

647
00:58:28,305 --> 00:59:28,177
