If I am to fight,

one great and deciding moment.

These last few days

In the mind of Brother Asser,
she is a witch.

And yet you
gladly drink her potion.

Wessex have been answered.

663
00:50:20,918 --> 00:50:21,216
Indeed.

664
00:50:21,218 --> 00:50:25,987
Every mass, Lord, every mass said by
100 priests or more has been heard.

665
00:50:25,989 --> 00:50:28,090
Look at him.
Look at him, he is well.

666
00:50:28,092 --> 00:50:31,526
God is good, praise him!

667
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:40,936
Yes, praise him, Father Beocca.

668
00:50:49,813 --> 00:50:51,446
You did well.

669
00:50:52,049 --> 00:50:53,815
Why the tears?

670
00:50:57,921 --> 00:51:00,989
They are for
the stranger's child.

671
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:05,494
(SOBBING)

672
00:52:00,484 --> 00:52:02,384
LEOFRIC: You are wet, Arseling.

673
00:52:02,386 --> 00:52:03,418
(PANTING) I am.

674
00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:06,321
Wet, tired, but I have a plan.

675
00:52:06,323 --> 00:52:11,059
Lord, the ships are guarded
by no more than 60 men.

676
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:14,429
The rest of the army will be
inland, looking for food.

677
00:52:14,431 --> 00:52:16,398
We kill the men,
we burn the ships.

678
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,901
You really believe Skorpa
will then go to Guthrum?

679
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:20,302
I do.

680
00:52:20,304 --> 00:52:23,705
One army, one battle.
It's the only way, Lord.

681
00:52:25,342 --> 00:52:29,744
It begins here, in these waters.

682
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:36,418
You were brought here
for this reason, Lord.

683
00:53:03,914 --> 00:53:08,850
They need to give chase and they
need to believe they can reach us.

684
00:53:08,919 --> 00:53:12,787
We stand our ground
until the very last moment.

685
00:53:13,223 --> 00:53:14,956
Then we stay on the safe path.

686
00:53:14,958 --> 00:53:18,860
And let the land half kill
them before we attack.

687
00:53:20,230 --> 00:53:22,397
And if they do reach us?

688
00:53:28,338 --> 00:53:29,938
Ready?

689
00:53:45,255 --> 00:53:47,522
UHTRED: Remember,
don't kill them.

690
00:53:47,524 --> 00:53:49,324
Just make them mad.

691
00:54:05,175 --> 00:54:06,441
Another.

692
00:54:15,419 --> 00:54:18,086
Are you wishing to die?

693
00:54:18,989 --> 00:54:20,221
Another.

694
00:54:29,499 --> 00:54:32,400
Who are you, you piece of
weasel shit?

695
00:54:32,402 --> 00:54:34,936
You want me to spill your guts?

696
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:37,238
Hera I am, I'm waiting!

697
00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:40,375
We'll send each of you
to corpse hall.

698
00:54:40,377 --> 00:54:42,043
Hit the big bastard.

699
00:54:49,286 --> 00:54:53,221
Come and fight!
Or are you afraid?

700
00:54:54,024 --> 00:54:55,423
MAN: My axes!

701
00:54:55,425 --> 00:54:56,925
(SCREAMS)

702
00:54:56,927 --> 00:54:58,293
(ALL SCREAM)

703
00:54:59,229 --> 00:55:01,096
We stand our ground.

704
00:55:04,968 --> 00:55:06,935
We stand our ground.

705
00:55:10,741 --> 00:55:13,308
Run! Run, run, run!

706
00:55:22,252 --> 00:55:23,985
(PANTING)

707
00:55:28,759 --> 00:55:30,325
(GROWLING)

708
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:44,205
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

709
00:55:55,419 --> 00:55:57,719
(GROANING)

710
00:56:27,851 --> 00:56:30,051
(MEN GROANING)

711
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,108
Now, for the ships! (PANTING)

712
00:56:59,149 --> 00:57:01,282
A new horizon, Lord.

713
00:57:01,818 --> 00:57:04,119
ALFRED: A beacon of hope.

714
00:57:08,658 --> 00:57:10,792
God has tested you, Lord.

715
00:57:10,794 --> 00:57:14,462
He's put you into the fire
as a smith would his steel.

716
00:57:14,464 --> 00:57:18,266
And like the steel
you have emerged stronger.

717
00:57:21,138 --> 00:57:22,804
Praise him.

718
00:57:23,106 --> 00:57:24,772
Praise him, Lord.

719
00:57:24,975 --> 00:57:26,908
You're right, Beocca.

720
00:57:26,910 --> 00:57:30,345
God works in the
strangest of ways,

721
00:57:31,014 --> 00:57:33,081
known only to himself.

722
00:57:34,305 --> 00:58:34,158
