1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,240
[Uhtred] I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
Born a Saxon nobleman,

2
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,880
I was robbed of my ancestral lands
and raised as a Dane and as a pagan.

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,840
I am Uhtred of Bebbanburg
and I shall take what is mine.

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,640
But I became
King Alfred's greatest sword warrior,

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,360
defending his kingdom of Wessex
and his vision of one united England,

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,640
supported by my loyal band of cutthroats,
barbarians and a fallen priest.

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,880
I pray that, when battle comes,
I will not fail you.

8
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720
[Uhtred] I have found happiness
with my wife, Gisela,

9
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,640
who has given me two children.

10
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Alfred has married his own daughter
to the weak Aethelred,

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,880
who sees himself as king of Mercia.

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,920
But taken by the Danes,

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
she fell for one warrior, Erik,
and is coveted by Haesten.

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,840
[yelling]

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,720
[Uhtred] This Haesten
has seemingly allied himself to Alfred.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,760
He can never be trusted.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Now that Alfred's health is failing,

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,480
these are dark and dangerous times
for all the peoples of this land.

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,840
Destiny is all.

00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,280

[Alfred] Father Beocca.

29
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,560
If what we believe is true
and heaven awaits us...

30
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,640
Which it does, Lord, no doubt.

31
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,096
I fear that even if I were allowed to pass
through the gates,

32
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,680
it'd still feel like purgatory.

33
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,960
It will not.
It cannot. It is heaven.

34
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
What has changed since I took the crown?

35
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Danes still raid and slaughter continues

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,280
and will continue
until the day I die and beyond.

37
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,080
What has been my purpose?

38
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:44,960
Your purpose, Lord,
is that you are God's King.

39
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,640
Without you there would be no church,

40
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,280
no Wessex, no laws,

41
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,400
no burhs, no havens of safety...

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,160
no idea of an England.

43
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,240
What you have done

44
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120
is laid the foundations
for a great and godly country.

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Nothing has changed.
No task is complete.

46
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,280
And after I am gone, what then?

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000
What you have begun will continue.

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,880
It must.

49
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Yes.

50
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,360
Thank you, Beocca.

51
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,960
It must.

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,640
[Skade] Guards!

53
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Turn away now!

54
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,640
No man is to show me his face!

55
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,600
No man is to see me before Bloodhair!

56
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,400
- [Skade grunts]
- [groaning]

57
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,120
You'll go and remind the camp

58
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
that Earl Sigurd
must be the first to see me.

59
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Yes, lady.

00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,920
[Dane groans]

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Once he has my message,
they'll be free to gaze.

62
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,120
My lady, I swear, I did not look at you.

63
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,680
I must take your eyes.

64
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Lady, no, be merciful.

65
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,160
And your tongue.

66
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Bitch! I'll kill you!

67
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,120
[groans]

68
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,080
No. No.

[Dane screaming]

70
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,120
[Skade] Turn away!

71
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Only the women may look at me

72
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,920
until I have told my Lord
what I have seen.

73
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,840
Sigurd, my love, drink me
and make my vision real.

74
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,600
Let me give you
all the strength you'll need.

75
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,400
I see the death of a king.

76
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,360
[groaning]

77
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Which king?

78
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,160
I see the death...

79
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,360
of Alfred.

80
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,640

[gasps]

82
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,760
It has been seen.

83
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,320
It has been seen!

84
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,480
The death of Alfred

85
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
and the glory of Odin's warriors
has been seen!

86
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Our path will not be simple.

87
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,120
The gods will demand
that we earn our reward.

88
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,120
But I make you this promise...

From the smallest pig,

92
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,720
to the golden crown upon Alfred's head,

93
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Wessex and everything it holds

94
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,480
shall belong to the warriors of Bloodhair!

[Steapa] Yes!

[Edward grunting]

99
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,440
[Steapa] No.

100
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,840
Again!

101
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,960
[Edward grunting]

102
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,360
Uhtred, what is your opinion
of Edward's sword skill?

103
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,400
[both grunting]

104
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,360
My opinion, Lord,
is that Steapa is wasting his time.

105
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,920
Would you care to explain?

106
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,320
I will, Lady.

107
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Steapa, stop.

108
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,080
Stop this nonsense.

109
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,320
You should not be using swords.
Skills are taught with a staff.

110
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,040
- Thank you.
- I prefer the weight of a sword.

111
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,120
It is a sign of the atheling's bravery.

112
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Let us watch, my dear.

113
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,400
What have you learned?

114
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,640
He learns by the day.

115
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Mother, please.

116
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Show me.

117
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,440
[Edward grunting]

118
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Lord, that grubby Dane, Haesten, is here.

119
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Uhtred, you must test the boy.

120
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,800
[Edward grunts]

121
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Put the child on his arse.

122
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,000
It is not your place to speak.

123
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,440
[Edward groaning]

124
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,000
Oh, bad luck, Edward.

125
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Uhtred, we have a visitor.
An old friend of yours.

126
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680
[Uhtred] Sacrifices were made
so you would live, boy.

127
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,880
From now on you practice only
with a staff. You learn from being hit.

128
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920
There is warrior inside you.
We will find him.

129
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,960
[chuckles] Thank you, Uhtred.

130
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,920
[Erkenwald] You do
as the Lord Uhtred says, Prince Edward.

131
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,240
He has your safety and welfare in mind.

132
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,120
Bishop Erkenwald. Thank you.

133
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,680
- I trust your wife is well?
- She is.

134
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,240
[Erkenwald] Pretty girl.
Her name escapes me.

135
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,320
She's called Gisela, Lord, a pagan.

136
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,520
She is once again with child.

137
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,240
A boy.

138
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,560
Your child shall be a boy.

139
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,880
Brother Godwin has a gift.

140
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,080
God-given.

141
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,760
If you will excuse me, Lord.

142
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Of course.

143
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,360
Edward, you are late for your lessons.

144
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Come.

145
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,360
[sighs]

146
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,880
I hear there are ealdormen
who wish you dead.

147
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,080
You made a whore
of a young girl and left her pupped.

148
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,440
She is no whore.

149
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Bad Edward.

150
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,960
She is no whore.

151
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,160
Say it again, I dare you.

152
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,480
Bad Edward.

153
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,400
His name is Sigurd.

154
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,480
His men call him Bloodhair.

155
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:00,840
[Aelswith] I don't wish to know why.
Something depraved, I'm sure.

156
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,080
[Uhtred] I have a man watching
Bloodhair's camp,

157
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,360
but I'm curious...

158
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,960
He didn't ask you to join, Haesten?

159
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,760
He has.

160
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,840
I declined.

161
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240
Like you, I have given my word.

162
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,160
Unlike you,
I've accepted the King's missionary.

163
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,880
[Uhtred] Your word
means nothing.

164
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240
[Haesten] Does the peace
among us not hold?

165
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Do my wife and children
not wish to become Christian?

166
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:28,680
[Aelswith] They do?

167
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,040
[Haesten] They do, Lady.
I've asked the priest to arrange it.

168
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,800
That is good news.

169
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,280
It is certainly news.

170
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,920
It should be an occasion, Lord.

171
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,600
[Alfred] I will consider it

172
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:42,360
as soon as we are done
with Earl Sigurd, Bloodhair.

173
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,840
Will he attack or raid?

174
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440
[Uhtred] He will raid
to assess your strength and readiness.

175
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,880
It is you who must attack.

176
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Destroy his army
and send a message to all Northmen.

177
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,760
[exhales sharply]

178
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:55,960
[vomits]

179
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,400
My Lord has eaten something
that does not agree?

180
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,320
Too much wine, Lord?

181
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,280
[exhales]

182
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Uhtred, you are right.

183
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,840
Sigurd landing his ships on Wessex soil
is unacceptable.

184
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760
- We will attack before the winter bites.
- Soonest, Lord.

185
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Then we march.

186
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Beocca, send word to Aethelred of Mercia.

187
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,960
This is a threat to both our lands.

188
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Our allies must join
with the Wessex guard.

189
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:41,680
Yes, Lord.
I will draft the letter at once.

190
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,880
Inform him, we shall join him
at the Burh of Aescengum.

191
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,040
I will now, um...

192
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,480
take some air.

193
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,080
How is the Lady Aethelflaed these days
and the child?

194
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,560
Who does the girl resemble...

195
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,960
One more word against her,

196
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,240
I'll shove that food so far down
that you'll be shitting it out.

197
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,240
I have seen him do it.
It's a miracle.

198
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,280
I am saying nothing
her husband Aethelred is not saying.

199
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
And I would say
you are in Aethelflaed's debt.

200
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,880
You have men and ships
not because you earned them,

201
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,040
but solely because
she did kill your lord, Sigefrid.

202
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,200
I remember what the bitch did.

203
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,840
I will never forget.

204
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,920
That is enough.

205
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Tell her, I pray
our paths will meet once again.

206
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,760
[Uhtred] Haesten.

207
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:37,720
No more.

208
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,320
Bloodhair has a woman
you would like, Uhtred.

209
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,720
Skade.

210
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,280
Her beauty blinds you like the sun,
yet she has all the darkness of the night.

211
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,080
She's a seer.

212
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,120
She's of the devil, Father.

213
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,760
I'd say it was a pleasure
to see you, Uhtred...

214
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,040
but it never is.

215
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Likewise.

216
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,840
May God forgive me, but I'd like
to remove that man's head with a blunt ax.

217
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,080
The King's health, Beocca, it worsens.

218
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,920
From time to time, yes.

219
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,040
That is why the time you spend

220
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,280
with the aetheling, Edward,
is so important.

221
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Alfred's work must continue,
and you can ensure that it does.

222
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Tell the King I'll meet him
on the road to Aescengum or at the burh.

223
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,520
- Where are you going?
- To my wife.

224
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,200
Then on to see Bloodhair for myself.

225
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,920
You should seek the King's permission.

226
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,760
For once.

227
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,280
[people screaming]

228
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,520
A good morning, Lord?

229
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,960
[Uhtred] Ready yourselves and the horses.
We leave before nightfall.

230
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,920
- For where?
- For battle.

231
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,960
And not before time.

232
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,240
I'm a warrior.

233
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,320
[boy] I'll take this.

234
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,000
What's this, Gisela?

235
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360
We have servants to prepare food.
You should be resting.

236
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,480
I have said this to her.

237
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,960
How can I rest
with this wild boy inside of me?

238
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,400
A priest has just told me the same,
that you are carrying a boy.

239
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Of course it's a boy.
He will not keep still.

240
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Thankfully, he will be the last.

241
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,280
You can't prevent that.

242
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,240
I know how to prevent it.

243
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,800
He will be the last.

244
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,600
You are marching?

245
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,760
Yes, I will join Finan
and then we are marching.

246
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,600
Thyra will be here.

247
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760
And I have sent word home,
to Coccham, to Hild.

248
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840
She'll be with you for the birth
should I not return in time.

249
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,120
But I promise, I will return.

250
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Mmm-hmm.

251
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
And when you do,
you will be sleeping alone.

252
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,440
You would do that to me?

253
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Oh, yes, I will do that to you...

254
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,640
for a time.

255
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,120
We move!

256
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,560
[panting]

257
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,080
Good evening to you.

258
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,360
Though I'm pointing a sword
at your heart...

259
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,480
I am a friend.

260
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,360
Habit.

261
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,880
With me.

262
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,480
Then you can tell me
all about your village.

263
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,720
[villagers screaming]

264
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,760
[woman groaning]

265
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040
[shakily] Holy Father,
spare me from this ordeal.

266
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,240
Stop my heart from beating
and take me now.

267
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,000
I beg of all the saints in heaven
to strike me down.

268
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,360
Take my soul and hide. Spare me, Lord.

269
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,200
It is not death I fear,
it is the path. Lord, I beg you.

270
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,240
Stop my heart from beating
and take me now.

271
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,680
Please, please.

272
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Where is the silver?

273
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,320
There is none.

274
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,400
Where is the silver?

275
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,840
I'm begging you to believe me.
I do not lie.

276
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,400
If you wish to be cooked alive,
then I will cook you alive.

277
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040
[monk] There is no silver!
I swear!

278
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,880
Lady...

279
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,760
[whimpering]

280
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,720
[Skade] The silver!

281
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,400
[monk sobbing]

282
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,480
You will answer her.

283
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,920
[monk] I have answered her, Lord.
There is no wealth here!

284
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,360
[sobbing continues]

285
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,360
Put him into the fire.

286
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,560
No, please!
Please, I beg you!

287
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,920
The silver!

288
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,640
Can any of you holy men answer for him?

289
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,320
God in heaven, help me!

290
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,040
[screaming]

291
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,840
[monk] Help me!

292
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,840
You have no right, Lord.
He was mine to question and to kill.

293
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,600
You have no right!

294
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,920
This is a church,
and a church holds silver.

295
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
You.

296
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,600
What's your name?

297
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,520
I am called Brother Hubert, Lord.

298
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,040
My Lord, I swear, we are a poor church.
We have food and ale, but we have no more.

299
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,360
Brother Hubert...

300
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,560
if you speak the truth,
you'll take your own life.

301
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,720
You will do it now and save your friends.

302
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,200
But, Lord, my soul will be damned.

303
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,600
Take your life like a warrior!
And we'll ask for only food and ale.

304
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,800
Lord, I swear, there is no silver.

305
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040
They're yours to do with as you please.

306
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,880
[monks whimpering]

307
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,680
[muttering indistinctly]

308
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000
Are you certain
you will not use the carriage?

309
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440
I'm certain.
We ride to Aescengum.

310
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,080
Steapa.

311
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,960
[grunts]

312
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,880
[villagers screaming]

313
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:29,920
[Dane] Lady, Bloodhair is heading on
to the next village in search of silver.

314
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,640
- Did you hear me? He's ready to leave.
- Then let him!

315
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,680
We will remain here until I've finished
my work with the priests.

316
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Tell him we will follow.
But he is to leave my guard.

317
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,040
Yes.

318
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,280
[Hubert groaning softly]

319
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,160
Good morning, Hubert.

320
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,120
I believe you now.

321
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,240
There is no silver.

322
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,480
So, what else can you give me?

323
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,720
[Hubert sobbing]

324
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,240
[Aldhelm] We are ready to march.

325
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Then you should march.

326
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,880
But with half of the guard, no more.

327
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,440
You will follow?

328
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,320
Yes, we are allies with Wessex.

329
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,680
There is talk of Danes
raiding on our northern border.

330
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,520
There are forever Danes there.

331
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,760
I shall remain here
for the good of Mercia.

332
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,240
We cannot neglect our own lands.

333
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,120
Lord, it makes sense
to remain close to Wessex.

334
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Alfred will not live forever
and the aetheling, Edward, is a boy.

335
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960
He seems to be doing his very best
at living forever.

336
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,440
He's constantly ill, but he will not die.

337
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920
If you see him, tell him
I am busy with Vikings.

338
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
I'll inform my father that you'll join us
as soon as you are able, Lord.

339
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,560
Thank you, lady.

340
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,040
You are riding to battle?
Is that not forbidden?

341
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:30,600
I wish to see the King.

342
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,160
He is a king. He is not the King.

343
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,080
There are kings and kingdoms all over.

344
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Aldhelm, are we ready?

345
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,960
- Lord, you are certain you will not ride?
- Go!

346
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920
In God's name, go.
Leave me in peace.

347
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Yes, Lord.

348
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,640
Good luck at the northern border.
Return safely.

349
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,160
You should be leading your men.

350
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,680
I do not wish to hear the whining voice
of the so-called Lady of Mercia.

351
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,240
Which is why I prefer you
to spend time at your own estate.

352
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,200
Then I shall leave you in your peace.

353
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,960
How is your daughter?

354
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,880
Our daughter is well,

355
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,920
though I pray she does not inherit
her father's temperament.

356
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,120
Nor the morals of her mother.

357
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,520
Whore!

358
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,160
You have diminished me.

359
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,880
[bird squawks]

360
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,800
We march into Wessex...

361
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,800
to the aid of Wessex,

362
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,280
but be in no doubt, what we fight for
is the freedom and the glory of Mercia.

363
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,760
And once again,
we will show the King Alfred

364
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,520
how a warrior should be.

365
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,600
[all cheering]

366
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,120
We will show the bastard heathen
how a warrior should be!

367
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,920
[all cheering]

368
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,960
[men speaking indistinctly]

369
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,680
She's in there, inside the church.
Am I still needed?

370
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,720
Go find your family.

371
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,200
[breathes deeply]

372
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,680
[guard laughs]

373
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,440
Who are you?
What do you want?

374
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,400
I would like you all to surrender.

375
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,680
Or I will smite you.

376
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000
What did he say?

377
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,200
Smite?

378
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,560
What is "smite"?

379
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,280
It's a word, isn't it?

380
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,760
A word from the Holy Book.

381
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,320
It means slay or kill.

382
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,160
I will kill you.

383
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,760
[guards laughing]

384
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Smite.

385
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,720
- You will smite all of us?
- Yeah, most.

386
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,920
Some might run away, hopefully.

387
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,240
I've got... I've got a sword.

388
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,120
A very sharp sword.

389
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,760
But I prefer your surrender.

390
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,560
- [guard] Kill him.
- Now!

391
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:31,280
[groans]

392
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,680
[men grunting]

393
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,560
Haesten says she is of the devil.

394
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,520
Then it might be an idea
to bar the door and burn the place down.

395
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,360
- Why not?
- To Bloodhair, she will be priceless.

396
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,080
[Uhtred] You are Skade?

397
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,560
You! You will do nothing
except go to your lord.

398
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,440
You will tell him that
Uhtred of Bebbanburg has his witch.

399
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,480
I knew it was you.

400
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,480
There will be a ransom.

401
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,240
No. You will go to my lord

402
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,320
and you will tell him
that from this moment forth,

403
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,640
Uhtred of Bebbanburg is cursed.

404
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,320
The witch holds his heart in her hands

405
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,880
and she will squeeze it...

406
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,720
and break it.

407
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,640
Go.

408
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,280
It is you who are my prisoner now, Uhtred.

409
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,600
Seize her.

410
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680
I said seize her, Sihtric.
Now, bind her hands.

411
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,960
I have aligned myself
with the three spinners of fate

412
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,120
and seized your life.

413
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,720
- You belong to me.
- And her mouth.

414
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,720
Your path is the path I choose for you,
Uhtred Ragnarson.

415
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,840
And your spirit is mine to torment.

416
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Cover her eyes.

417
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,080
We'll take her to Aescengum.

418
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,440
I think she may have got herself
inside his head.

419
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,320
He should kill her and be done with it.

420
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,280
That will not kill the curse.

421
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,800
There is no curse.

422
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,280
And if I say there is no Christian God,
does that make it so?

423
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,560
There is no curse, Sihtric.

424
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,320
I have seen women throw a curse
and the next day a man is dead.

425
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Right, that is enough talking.

426
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,680
To speak of it makes it stronger.

427
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,520
[Alfred] Uhtred, we're discussing strategy
and I have decided we shall remain here,

428
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,160
within the burh, and wait.

429
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,240
[Uhtred] For what?

430
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,160
- [Alfred] Bloodhair to attack.
- Why will he attack?

431
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Is that not what Danes do, Uhtred?
They cannot help themselves.

432
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Why should he not? I am here.

433
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,200
You are here, and so too is your guard.

434
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,440
Why throw men against the walls of a burh
when Winchester's riches are unprotected?

435
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,400
Would he do that?

436
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
He doesn't have a large army
to hold Winchester.

437
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,680
- What if Haesten joined him?
- You're saying we should've stayed home?

438
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240
If you believe
the burh's advantage dismissed,

439
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,840
you must have an alternative.

440
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,920
- [Uhtred] I don't know you.
- I am Sigebriht, son of Sigelf.

441
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,560
It is my villages that the heathen burn.
My father built these walls.

442
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,200
He built them well, Sigebriht,
which is why Bloodhair will not attack.

443
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880
- He will not want to lose men.
- Not even to kill a king?

444
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,320
He will wait for us to starve
or he will pass, Lord. He will not attack.

445
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,400
But we must. That is still my advice.

446
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,320
If Winchester is vulnerable, Lord...

447
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,800
This woman that you have taken,
why is she here?

448
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,320
She has value.

449
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,360
And Sigurd will want her back.
I refuse to call him Bloodhair.

450
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,920
- He will.
- [Aethelwold] She is what to him?

451
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
A wife?

452
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,480
A lover?

453
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,400
She's a... a seer...

454
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:21,920
sorceress.

455
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,560
[Alfred] Hmm.

456
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,440
The simple mind of a Dane
believes in signs, Edward.

457
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,240
If a bird flew from their camp to ours,
they would see it as a sign and follow.

458
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480
They would march into battle

459
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,320
all because a seer caught sight of a bird.

460
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,360
Yes, Lord, it can happen that way.

461
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Then it follows that without his seer,
there can be no signs.

462
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,480
- Sigurd is blind. There can be no battle.
- You are both right and wrong.

463
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,520
We wait, Uhtred.

464
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Now...

465
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,960
I wish to look at her.

466
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Skade.

467
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Father, you do not need
to trouble yourself.

468
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,520
No, Lord?

469
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,000
[Uhtred] Unlock the door.

470
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,280
- [Sihtric] What are they doing?
- Alfred said he'd like to hump the witch.

471
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,040
No word of a lie.

472
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,400
[Skade whispering incantation]

473
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,320
[whispering continues]

474
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,320
Uhtred, you will leave us.

475
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,280
Is that wise, Lord?

476
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,240
She is secured by chains
and I will not venture too close.

477
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,000
You will leave.

478
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,520
[exhales]

479
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,040
You left him alone?

480
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,800
It's his wish.

481
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,320
You believe that Bloodhair
will go directly to Winchester?

482
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Our families are there unprotected.

483
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,800
That is why we cannot wait
for an attack that will not come.

484
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,160
Uhtred, you must...

485
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,800
make him see the danger...

486
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,560
for those we love.

487
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,800
You reek of death, Lord.

488
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,960
I do. Sadly, I do.

489
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,520
Why sadly?

490
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,440
You have a rich life and reputation.

491
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,440
There is more to be done.
I must see that it is done.

492
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Ask your question.

493
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:04,880
How long...

494
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,800
before I am taken? Do you know?

495
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Is that something that you can see?

496
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,880
[chains rattling]

497
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,679
You will not see another summer.

498
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,080
But your name will live on.

499
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,199
You will be remembered

500
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:36,239
as the first, the last
and only king of all Saxons.

501
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,679
I do enjoy the summertime.

502
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,600
[whispers] Sigurd, my Lord,
Bloodhair, my lover,

503
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,440
hear me, free me, avenge me.

504
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,720
Come for me, die for me,
want me, desire me.

505
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,400
Sigurd, free me!

506
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,400
Bloodhair, come to me!

507
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Die for me, avenge me!

508
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Free me!

509
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,920
There's a king in this camp!

510
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,960
Come to me! Desire me!

511
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,840
If she insists upon calling,
we should make use of her.

512
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,120
[Skade] Free me!

513
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,960
Bloodhair!

514
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:50,440
Come for me, avenge me,
free me, I demand it!

515
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,840
Bloodhair!

516
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,000
- When can we bind her mouth?
- [Skade] Die for me, desire me!

517
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,480
- Let her sing.
- [Skade] There is a king in this town!

518
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,280
That is not singing.

519
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,240
[Skade] Bloodhair!

520
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,640
- [Sigebriht] Lord Uhtred.
- [Skade] Come for me!

521
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:07,040
Are you allowing that woman
to wail all night?

522
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,680
- [Skade] Free me!
- For a little while longer, yes.

523
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,320
[Skade] Bloodhair!

524
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,280
There's a king for you to kill!

525
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,480
- [guard] Shut her up!
- [Skade] Come for me, avenge me, free me!

526
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,080
I demand it!

527
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,320
Die for me! Desire me!

528
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,280
[sighs] Here is a bit
of loose talk for you.

529
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,440
[Skade] Bloodhair!

530
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,600
Sigebriht there, son of whoever,

531
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,920
would like to rip the innards
from young Edward's belly.

532
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,600
- Would you like to know why?
- [Skade] Bloodhair!

533
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Um...

534
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,800
- No.
- I'll tell you.

535
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Edward, the non-bastard son of Alfred,

536
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,440
has whelped twins on the girl
whom Sigebriht did love.

537
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,800
And does Sigebriht still love this girl?

538
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,160
[Skade] Die for me, desire me! Bloodhair!

539
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,800
Can someone not just cut her throat?

540
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,320
Why are you telling me this?
It's of no concern to me.

541
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,440
They will make it your concern, Uhtred.

542
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,880
They will find a way
and Edward shall become your charge.

543
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,440
You're a kingmaker, my friend.

544
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:18,880
And Alfred knows it.

545
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,280
[Skade] I am undecided.

546
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,960
I could take the place of your woman,
Uhtred Ragnarson.

547
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,720
Together we could rule
from north to south.

548
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,880
Hear it.

549
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:52,720
Hear it.

550
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,480
You men there,
take her down and return her to the cell.

551
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,320
Let her rest.

552
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:09,520
[Skade] Good night, Lord.

553
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Why have you not killed me?

554
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,520
What is it you want?

555
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,080
I'm worth more than just silver.

556
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:32,320
Put the food into your mouth and chew.

557
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,800
If it is me that you want...

558
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,520
then have me.

559
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,440
I will not object.

560
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,200
I have no need of a whore.

561
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,640
You will soon have need of a woman.

562
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,960
You have not killed me, Lord,
because that will leave you cursed still.

563
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,000
Until the end and beyond,

564
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,240
our paths are entwined

565
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,080
and our fate is shared.

566
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,080
[bell ringing]

567
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,240
He is here.

568
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,320
[ringing continues]

569
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:31,880
[door closes]

570
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,680
Lord, it is Bloodhair!
He has hostages!

571
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:47,040
Every man to the walls!
Every sword and spear must be ready!

572
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,000
[woman whimpers]

573
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,960
[women screaming]

574
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,320
Osferth, prepare to open the gates.
Finan, with me.

575
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,536
- [Beocca] What is it?
- [Alfred] Who is it?

576
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,480
- Bloodhair, Lord, with hostages.
- He wishes to negotiate?

577
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,560
[Uhtred] Possibly.

578
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,320
[women yelping]

579
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:22,200
[Bloodhair] Uhtred Ragnarson.

580
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,520
What depravity is this?

581
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,200
[Bloodhair] Alfred of Wessex,
you have my woman.

582
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Return her now or your people will die.

583
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,000
Lord, I know each of those wretches.

584
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,760
Does he wish to negotiate or not?

585
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,360
If it is your woman that you want,
then let us negotiate!

586
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,960
We don't wish to see
the death of another innocent!

587
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,120
- I've said all I will say.
- [woman] I beg you, not the young.

588
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Spare the young!

589
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,640
[women screaming]

590
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,040
[woman] I beg you, Lord,
not the young, please.

591
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Spare the young, Lord.
They can serve you. Please, Lord.

592
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,280
[women screaming]

593
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,800
Osferth, the gates.
Steapa, be ready.

594
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,200
- They are killing women, Lord.
- The gates!

595
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,200
Earl Sigurd!

596
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,720
Kill one more hostage

597
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,000
and I shall let every man here
see her nakedness

598
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,080
and then I shall spill her guts.
Just one more!

599
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,840
Do it, Lord.
I'll see you in the next life.

600
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,600
Kill them all! Attack!

601
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,560
[groans]

602
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,400
- [Skade] Kill them! Attack!
- She is an angry woman.

603
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,880
[Uhtred] What's your answer?

604
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,280
I have a mind to kill her.
She tires me.

605
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,080
He cannot do it. He's cursed.

606
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:32,840
Kill them all!

607
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,320
You will not harm her again!

608
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,280
[Skade groaning]

609
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,520
The price has risen.

610
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,760
You will spare the hostages,

611
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,960
free them
and send them across to the burh.

612
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,640
What I'll do is feed you your own cock.
Release her.

613
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,640
You have until sunset
to free the hostages.

614
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,760
Or each man in this fortress
will take his turn.

615
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Until sunset!

616
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,280
I believe negotiations are over, Lord.

617
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,960
You will not see Valhalla,
Uhtred Ragnarson, I swear it!

618
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,480
- [Skade] Bloodhair!
- Uhtred Ragnarson!

619
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,520
- [Skade] Kill them!
- [Bloodhair] Uhtred Ragnarson!

620
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,760
Do not harm one hair from her head.
She's mine!

621
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,000
Lord, we need to change our plan.

622
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,760
We cannot wait for him to attack
because he will not.

623
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,480
Her value is even greater
than I first thought.

624
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,400
He will wait
for as long as it takes.

625
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,680
Aethelred and the Mercians will be close.

626
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:34,840
They will be seen.

627
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,720
We must stop them on the road.

628
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,360
I can send Finan to do just that,
and then we must join them.

629
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,880
We must choose the place of battle,

630
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,320
but we must act quickly,
while his blood burns.

631
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,800
Join Aethelred where?

632
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,640
I am thinking Fearnham.
There's a hill.

633
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:53,480
I know it.
It gives us an advantage.

634
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,120
How do we join Aethelred here,

635
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
and how do we ensure
Earl Sigurd will follow?

636
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,960
Finan will find the Mercians
and we will ensure Bloodhair follows.

637
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,640
You and I, Lord, will draw him.

638
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,640
And if Aethelred cannot be found?

639
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,320
[Uhtred] We fight alone.

640
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,600
But we must act quickly.
It must be today.

641
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,120
I'm ready, Lords.

642
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,880
It won't take me long
to find the Mercians.

643
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,840
To Fearnham. Go.

644
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,440
[wind blowing]

645
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,400
[Saxon guard] Open the gates!

646
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,160
Psst.

647
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,960
The gates.

648
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,480
We go and we do not stop.

649
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,200
They cannot overtake us!
They must not overtake us!

650
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,760
For the freedom of Wessex!

651
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,480
[all cheering]

652
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,840
They're escaping.

653
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,600
Lord! Lord, they are running!

654
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,480
Lord, the Saxon army
is fleeing the fortress.

655
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,320
- Who did you see?
- I saw them all.

656
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,880
I saw the Lady Skade.
I saw Uhtred Ragnarson.

657
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,200
The whole army.

658
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,160
Every man and every sword with me.
It's time!

659
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,920
Horses!

660
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,640
[Saxon guard] Close the gates!

661
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,200
[yelling]

662
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,640
[Danes yelling]

663
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,200
[Sigebriht] Lord!

664
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:35,800
They're giving chase.

665
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,280
They're giving chase.

666
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,520
[Alfred] We wait...

667
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,920
long enough for them not to see
they are being followed.

668
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,840
And we pray.

669
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,440
[horse neighs]

670
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:58,280
[driver] Lord, the cart is stuck.

671
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,560
Release the horse from its harness
and ride.

672
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,600
Sihtric, your ax.

673
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,680
They've been after silver,
so let's give them some.

674
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:23,880
Keep going! Ride!

675
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,600
[Steapa] We must not be seen!

676
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,160
We track them.

677
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,920
And then we kill the bastards!

678
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,000
[all cheering]

679
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,320
[Bloodhair] May be a trap.

680
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,360
[Osferth] Is this the place?

681
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,360
- Is this Fearnham?
- It is.

682
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,680
Maybe Finan didn't make the journey.

683
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:15,920
Do we wait for the Danes
to catch us?

684
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,680
It's silver, Lord.

685
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,360
They must have been too afraid
to fix the cart.

686
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,960
Wrap it in cloth. Keep it safe.
Let's move on.

687
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,320
I want every Saxon dead by nightfall.

688
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,360
[Dane] Move on!

689
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,200
Your man is here. I know it.

690
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,360
[horses neighing]

691
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:51,480
[Uhtred] It is Finan.

692
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,200
And the Mercians.

693
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,160
We are an army!

694
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,160
- Glory shall be ours!
- [all cheering]

695
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,920
[all yelling]

696
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,360
[Gisela straining]

697
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,360
[breathes heavily]

698
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:26,840
Shield wall!

699
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:40,360
[Uhtred] Ready!

700
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,440
They have the hill.
We have the numbers and will of the gods!

701
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,600
Odin's warriors!

702
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:51,840
[all cheering]

703
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,000
[Uhtred] We stand our ground!
They will come onto us,

704
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,000
and we will take their heads
from their shoulders!

705
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,600
No Saxon leaves this field alive!

706
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,760
[all yelling]

707
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,360
Hold firm!

708
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,800
We do not break!
We stand our ground!

709
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,280
For Mercia!

710
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,160
[all yelling]

711
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,160
Fight for your women and your children!

712
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,400
[groans]

713
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:58,440
Hold the line!

714
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,560
- Get me up, man!
- [Uhtred] Close the gap!

715
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,400
Hold!

716
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:18,840
[horn sounding]

717
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,200
Who sounds the horn?

718
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,840
Who sounds the horn?

719
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:31,440
[Uhtred] It is Alfred.

720
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,120
It is Alfred and the men of Wessex!

721
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,600
- Steapa!
- Shield wall!

722
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,040
Hold the line!

723
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,240
[Steapa] Advance!

724
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,440
[all yelling]

725
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,400
[Uhtred] Advance!

726
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,760
[Dane] We're trapped!

727
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,000
[grunting]

728
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,800
[Dane] Lord, do we fight?

729
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,560
Bloodhair, you do not yield.

730
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,680
Do not yield.

731
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,520
[Uhtred] Give them no ground!

732
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,840
Give them nothing but your sword!

733
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,960
[Aldhelm] They are running scared!

734
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,480
They are beaten!

735
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,360
[groaning]

736
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,760
[all cheering]

737
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:37,720
Uhtred...

738
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,760
she's gone.

739
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:49,240
She's given you a son.

740
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,360
But she's gone.

741
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:56,760
[sniffles]

742
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,520
- I must go to her.
- Uhtred, no!

743
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,840
- No, I must go to her!
- Uhtred, she's gone!

744
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,520
She's in the ground.

745
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,480
It was days ago.

746
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:20,280
She's gone.

746
