﻿1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,299
<i>I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.</i>

2
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:06,204
<i>After the battle at Tettenhall,</i>

3
00:00:06,306 --> 00:00:08,832
<i>Brida has been
captured and enslaved</i>

4
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:10,467
<i>in Wealas.</i>

5
00:00:10,544 --> 00:00:14,606
<i>Aethelred's death has left
Mercia with an empty throne</i>

6
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,650
<i>and many vying for influence.</i>

7
00:00:16,717 --> 00:00:19,209
As you know, Lady
Aelfwynn is dear to me.

8
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:22,346
I should like her to be
betrothed to a man I trust.

9
00:00:22,456 --> 00:00:24,652
Could you be such
a man, Eardwulf?

10
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:29,663
<i>With Aelfwynn's hand in marriage,
Eardwulf was to become ruler of Mercia.</i>

11
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:34,293
They cast me aside, treat
my child as a bag of silver.

12
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:38,999
<i>But I was compelled to disrupt their
plans and took Aelfwynn into hiding.</i>

13
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:40,973
Find me 12 men to
leave immediately.

14
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:44,239
If Wessex is incapable, we'll
find the fugitives ourselves.

15
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,813
<i>Rumors of fever
break out in the land...</i>

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,748
<i>Bringing fear and desperation.</i>

17
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,682
People are abandoning
their villages.

18
00:00:51,752 --> 00:00:54,221
<i>It ravages worse
than any Dane invader.</i>

19
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:59,760
Two of my grandchildren travel
on open ground in time of sickness.

20
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:02,830
<i>Eadith betrayed her brother
to protect Lady Aelfwynn.</i>

21
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:05,559
He murdered Lord
Aethelred! I witnessed it!

22
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:09,535
<i>But she has been struck by
illness and may not survive.</i>

23
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,071
I fear she's getting worse.

24
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:14,869
<i>We must return to Aegelesburg,
reveal Eardwulf's treachery.</i>

25
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:17,377
And we tell him what
kind of a man he trusted.

26
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:22,610
<i>A new ruler must be found to
bring peace, or all will be lost.</i>

27
00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:24,844
<i>Destiny is all!</i>

<i>In nomine Patris, et
Filii, et Spiritus Sancti...</i>

30
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:19,904
<i>In nomine Patris, et
Filii, et Spiritus Sancti...</i>

31
00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:24,102
<i>In nomine Patris...</i>

32
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:47,328
- Ignore it.
- Such disrespect.

33
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:51,333
I wasn't fond of Aethelred,
but he was Lord here.

34
00:02:51,438 --> 00:02:53,498
A curse upon the
line of Aethelred!

35
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:08,781
Quickly!

36
00:03:16,897 --> 00:03:19,799
- You will get me executed.
- You've survived so far.

37
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:23,496
Can you hide them? She's my
daughter. And he's the King's bastard.

38
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:24,833
- What?
- Do not ask.

39
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:26,669
It is just until I can
get Edward to listen.

40
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:30,575
I fear we are beyond that. This
place is like a tinder waiting for a spark.

41
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:34,170
Which is why I
need you to help me.

42
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:35,340
Thank you.

43
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:36,977
Come on, this way.

44
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:43,248
Curse upon the
line of Aethelred!

45
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:46,552
Is this defiance
caused by hunger?

46
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:50,931
Hunger, fever, a
lack of leadership.

47
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:53,256
How long will the grain last?

48
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:58,201
That depends on how much the
Ealdormen have kept for themselves.

49
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,107
May God forgive you!

50
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:08,405
Lord Burgred speaks
against me yet again.

51
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:10,850
Ignore the chatter.

52
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:15,377
Truly dangerous men
do not issue threats.

53
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:22,020
Look at them.

54
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:26,731
I know that look.
You have no plan.

55
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:30,400
I have a plan.

56
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:31,597
Shame on you!

57
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:35,372
We tell the Ealdorman
we'll kill their lord.

58
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,904
Forgive me, but there is news.

59
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:44,077
The Ealdormen have called
their Witan for after the funeral.

60
00:04:44,718 --> 00:04:46,209
Why was I not informed?

61
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:50,815
They say you do not need to know
and that you may not enter the Witan.

62
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:57,593
<i>Pater noster qui es in caelis.</i>

63
00:04:58,832 --> 00:05:01,063
May your name be hallowed.

64
00:05:01,768 --> 00:05:03,566
May your will be done...

65
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:06,403
What has happened here?

66
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:14,442
- Slaughter, betrayal and now ambition.
- So, when they come to kill you,

67
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:17,313
- what would you like me to do?
- They will not kill me.

68
00:05:18,018 --> 00:05:20,487
I am the only one who
knows where Aelfwynn hides.

69
00:05:21,521 --> 00:05:23,114
We will strike a deal.

70
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:25,750
The King cannot be trusted.

71
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:27,920
He calls himself
leader of all Saxons,

72
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:30,987
yet he-he schemes against
us to make us submissive!

73
00:05:31,097 --> 00:05:32,759
We will ask him
to explain himself.

74
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:35,997
So he can lie about Lady Aelfwynn,
as he lied about her mother?

75
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:40,164
- The time has come to take a bolder step!
- Isolating ourselves from Wessex

76
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:42,970
would serve Mercia no better
than King Edward's tyranny!

77
00:05:43,043 --> 00:05:46,878
- Then let us put it to the Witan!
- Who would...

78
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:54,143
Please, continue.

79
00:05:55,989 --> 00:06:00,859
- The Witan is closed to all but Mercians.
- I am Mercian in blood through my mother.

80
00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:03,192
Lord, no. We must
be able to speak freely.

81
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:04,730
I do not deny that.

82
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:16,366
Speak. I come merely to
listen to your discussions.

83
00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:20,072
You were saying I lied
about Lady Aelfwynn?

84
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:23,378
Everyone knows Eardwulf
hunts her on the road.

85
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:25,543
Yes, to bring her
here to safety.

86
00:06:25,652 --> 00:06:29,419
We are waiting until the sickness passes
and Eardwulf and Lady Aelfwynn return.

87
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:30,546
Lies!

88
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:34,990
That seems an
unwise thing to say.

89
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:41,023
You said we could speak
freely, and I say this is lies!

90
00:06:42,335 --> 00:06:44,497
Lord Burgred, remember who I am.

91
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:49,669
You move in your troops, leader
of the Mercian Guard disappears,

92
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:52,713
so yet again we cannot
defend ourselves.

93
00:06:52,779 --> 00:06:57,080
Then suddenly, from
nowhere, a fever closes the city

94
00:06:57,183 --> 00:06:59,846
- and starves the people!
- Burgred! You go too far!

95
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,913
You cannot be suggesting
I created this situation.

96
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:07,017
The people are hungry
because you hoard the grain!

97
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:10,427
We hoard it so it cannot
fatten Wessex fighters.

98
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:13,090
Enough! Enough!

99
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,134
- The outlaw returns!
- No outlaw.

100
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:18,364
Just a man who's seen enough
conflict in Mercia. Let me speak.

101
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:23,536
I am Lord Uhtred, who,
with Lady Aethelflaed,

102
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:27,445
has led Mercian fyrds to victory
against the Danes at Tettenhall.

103
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:30,978
I spilled blood for you. I ask
that you listen to me in return.

104
00:07:31,084 --> 00:07:33,576
Lord Uhtred, explain
to these people

105
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:36,452
Lady Aelfwynn is safe and
about to return for her betrothal.

106
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:39,116
She is safe, but she
cannot be betrothed.

107
00:07:40,327 --> 00:07:43,991
Eardwulf has confessed to
the murder of Lord Aethelred

108
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:45,895
and he has fled Mercia.

109
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:48,561
Ignore the heathen!
He's just a troublemaker!

110
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:52,436
Why do you seek to humiliate
Mercia with these outrageous lies?

111
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:56,101
It is no lie. Eardwulf has near
confessed it before his men.

112
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:57,940
This was found on him.

113
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:02,944
It belonged to Lord Aethelred
and was stolen from his dying hand.

114
00:08:07,754 --> 00:08:09,848
Eardwulf has done many
things to harm Mercia.

115
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,516
You all chose to
turn your eyes from it.

116
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,093
This is the consequence.

117
00:08:41,888 --> 00:08:42,981
What is it?

118
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:46,190
- I'm not going to tell you.
- Is it wormwood?

119
00:08:49,329 --> 00:08:52,697
It will not work. I've
heard it kills men.

120
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,734
Poison can sometimes be a cure.

121
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,227
Mixed with holy water,
it will cool the fever.

122
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:00,905
Look at her. She is dying.

123
00:09:01,007 --> 00:09:05,206
- If she does, we will be blamed.
- There's sickness everywhere, Eadith.

124
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:09,578
Yes, and who gets accused?
Sinners, people like me.

125
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:12,076
You have not been
shunned as I have.

126
00:09:12,886 --> 00:09:14,650
I will not take the risk.

127
00:09:15,989 --> 00:09:18,652
And I thought you were
amongst the bravest of warriors.

128
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:28,091
There.

129
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:30,931
Now she and I are both doomed.

130
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:37,069
Aelfwynn?

131
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:49,586
<i>Where is my niece, Uhtred?</i>

132
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:52,887
We know you traveled the
road with children from Saltwic.

133
00:09:55,795 --> 00:09:57,730
- Where are they?
- I will not tell you.

134
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:02,893
Not until I have your word that Aelfwynn
and Lady Aethelflaed will be protected.

135
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:04,870
You are in no
position to bargain!

136
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,564
So, I will ask you
this one more time.

137
00:10:09,876 --> 00:10:11,742
Where is my niece?

138
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,815
Tell me or I shall
have you seized.

139
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,408
I've done nothing
wrong. You know this.

140
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:23,890
Your actions have caused chaos,
disturbed a smooth transition of power

141
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,290
and launched an uprising
amongst the Ealdormen!

142
00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:31,162
So, even you will understand
why I call you traitor.

143
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:34,992
Take him away.

144
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:49,776
Find out where he hides her. The girl
is our only way to maintain the alliance.

145
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,943
If we cannot betroth
her, we lose that bond.

146
00:10:53,353 --> 00:10:55,447
But who to betroth her to?

147
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:59,292
You said there are
no suitable candidates.

148
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:00,622
Yes.

149
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:05,521
Perhaps instead of seeking to
make a bond with the Ealdormen...

150
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:08,598
we should find a
way to break them.

151
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:16,272
<i>Why haven't we slaughtered them?</i>

152
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:19,107
- We were tricked!
- You say you have them under control,

153
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,705
and then I hear they've
taken our villages to the south!

154
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:23,476
I've never seen
men like this before.

155
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:27,681
I do not want this news to reach my
brother whilst he's on holy pilgrimage.

156
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:31,657
- You will tell no one of these defeats.
- They are terrifying.

157
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:35,484
What was that?

158
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:37,190
Huh? Uh...

159
00:11:38,665 --> 00:11:40,293
Are you thirsty?

160
00:12:10,763 --> 00:12:12,823
Stay back! Come on, move aside.

161
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:16,836
We are taking it to storage,
so that Wessex cannot steal it.

162
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:18,269
Seize the carts!

163
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:21,773
The King demands the grain be
shared fairly amongst the people.

164
00:12:21,874 --> 00:12:24,207
The King does not
care for the people.

165
00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:25,701
Mm...

166
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:30,608
Guards!

167
00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:33,750
Stand aside!

168
00:12:41,894 --> 00:12:42,918
With me!

169
00:12:48,701 --> 00:12:50,863
I would call this provocation.

170
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:04,210
What is it?

171
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:06,549
We're being followed. Come on!

172
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:07,712
Go!

173
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:26,565
Could we have been discovered?

174
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,165
We cannot outrun them.

175
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:32,006
We must hide. Hyah! Away!

176
00:13:56,269 --> 00:13:57,293
Lord King!

177
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:01,466
Why do you continue to impound
our grain and occupy our citadel?

178
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:06,536
May I remind you, this hall is only for
the Lord of Mercia and his Ealdormen!

179
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:09,707
And so I shall remain here
until the new Lord is chosen.

180
00:14:09,816 --> 00:14:14,277
Yet the Witan are minded
to separate from Wessex.

181
00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:15,447
Really?

182
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:23,629
You do not speak
for the Ealdormen.

183
00:14:23,696 --> 00:14:26,222
You are merely grasping
like a greedy child,

184
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:27,891
and I shall not indulge it.

185
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,401
If you want me
to leave the hall,

186
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:35,168
one of your men will have
to lay hands on a King,

187
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:41,306
a man anointed by God to rule
in his name and a son of Alfred.

188
00:14:42,582 --> 00:14:44,346
They dishonor me,

189
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:48,980
you dishonor Mercia for breaking
the accord so long held between us.

190
00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:53,021
Who will be the man to do it?

191
00:14:53,526 --> 00:14:56,052
Drag a King through the hall?

192
00:14:56,162 --> 00:15:00,065
Who dares throw himself
before God like this?

193
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:06,369
I will.

194
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:11,935
I will fight for Mercia.

195
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:16,774
You forget I am King and
wield power like a King.

196
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:24,955
Lord Burgred...

197
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:30,624
we have taken your son to
Wessex for religious instruction.

198
00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:40,272
<i>He will be cared for until his
father finds better judgment.</i>

199
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,428
- Lady Aethelflaed.
- Run.

200
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,493
- We know you're there!
- I'll hold them off.

201
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:11,832
No, no!

202
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:19,335
Sihtric!

203
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:24,016
Lady, it's Uhtred's men!

204
00:16:27,253 --> 00:16:28,983
- Thank God it's you.
- My lady.

205
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:30,814
Aldhelm.

206
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,358
You are not easy to find.

207
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:35,792
Did Uhtred send you?

208
00:16:36,696 --> 00:16:38,289
What news of my daughter?

209
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:42,192
She is safe. Uhtred has
returned to Aegelesburg

210
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:45,430
- to bargain for your protection.
- Is Aelfwynn with him?

211
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:53,806
She is being cared for,
but... she became unwell.

212
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,647
- The sickness?
- It may not be.

213
00:16:57,383 --> 00:16:59,375
She's traveled a great distance.

214
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:01,677
Take me to her.

215
00:17:09,896 --> 00:17:11,660
Did the King ask you to do this?

216
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:14,058
Do not speak.

217
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:18,069
Were you sworn to Alfred?
Where will we have met?

218
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:24,405
We have fought at Beamfleot.

219
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:40,551
Must we extract this information
from you the hard way?

220
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:55,000
Can't you just tell us where
Lady Aelfwynn is hiding?

221
00:18:00,446 --> 00:18:01,709
It's your choice.

222
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:01,330
Aelfwynn?

223
00:19:01,907 --> 00:19:03,273
Aelfwynn?

224
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:07,446
Aelfwynn, please
wake up. Aelfwynn...

225
00:19:07,513 --> 00:19:08,674
You've killed her.

226
00:19:08,781 --> 00:19:12,309
No. Perhaps it is the poison
burning the fever in her body?

227
00:19:12,418 --> 00:19:15,684
- Or perhaps she's dead!
- No. No, she's still breathing.

228
00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:23,354
We must take her to a place of-of
comfort. Let us go back to Aegelesburg.

229
00:19:23,462 --> 00:19:25,662
- No, but Lord Uhtred said...
- I know what Uhtred said.

230
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:29,030
But Uhtred is not my master
and we cannot stay here.

231
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:34,540
We must get her to a healer in
Aegelesburg if she is to stand a chance.

232
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:38,202
Okay.

233
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:44,140
Lord have mercy on us.

234
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:07,465
How are your
expressions of piety?

235
00:20:08,908 --> 00:20:10,069
Full-hearted.

236
00:20:11,744 --> 00:20:13,508
Where is Burgred's son?

237
00:20:14,180 --> 00:20:15,307
He is safe.

238
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:21,381
It was a callous decision,
but I suspect a clever one.

239
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:25,587
It has diminished Burgred
and you have averted a fight.

240
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:28,561
For that, I am grateful.

241
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:31,488
I do not think the
conflict is over.

242
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:35,524
But you've been decisive, and
that will help in times of chaos.

243
00:20:36,702 --> 00:20:41,106
Now you could play peacemaker
yourself. How will you proceed?

244
00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:44,200
I will not tell you, for you
will not keep it to yourself.

245
00:20:46,112 --> 00:20:47,671
Then I will tell you one thing.

246
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:52,851
The people of Mercia are Saxon,
but they will never be of Wessex.

247
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:56,355
Force them to be,
and they will fight back.

248
00:20:56,422 --> 00:21:00,382
If you do not seek to
conquer, all will be resolved.

249
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:03,052
Continue to care for Mercia,

250
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:07,362
find the right match for my
granddaughter, and peace will come.

251
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:13,102
Did we discover if Uhtred has
all the children from Saltwic?

252
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:16,107
He will not give
us that information.

253
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:18,302
Believe me, we
tried to extract it.

254
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:57,807
Don't turn away from me.
This was done in your name.

255
00:21:57,917 --> 00:22:01,012
I did not order this, Uhtred.

256
00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:10,927
Aethelhelm claims
he acts for you.

257
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:14,523
Look at me!

258
00:22:31,317 --> 00:22:33,809
Fetch him food and water
and furs to keep him warm.

259
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:34,945
Yes, Lord.

260
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:41,225
I did not order this, because
I knew it would not work.

261
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:46,621
Lord Aethelhelm was foolish
to think you would weaken.

262
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:59,004
Tell me, where does it
come from, this courage?

263
00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:04,914
You have suffered greatly, and
for what? A child you barely know?

264
00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:06,212
Not for her.

265
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,145
Then why?

266
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,553
The same reason I
fought at Tettenhall.

267
00:23:12,491 --> 00:23:15,393
My deep love of
Mercian politics.

268
00:23:19,865 --> 00:23:21,333
You love my sister.

269
00:23:26,438 --> 00:23:30,534
Your sister is a widow.
She has my respect.

270
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:41,881
I've always envied you
for choosing your own path.

271
00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:44,514
Looked at the way
men followed you

272
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:50,052
and felt... inspired, if
somewhat grudgingly.

273
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:56,467
And now I wonder if you
are as imprisoned as I am...

274
00:23:57,403 --> 00:24:02,307
unable to escape a life
that was imposed upon you.

275
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:04,274
Neither of us asked to be here.

276
00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:08,137
For my part, the choices
are growing narrower.

277
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:12,275
I have tried to
find a solution here

278
00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:15,252
that respects the
Mercians and keeps order.

279
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:18,481
But events have
turned against me...

280
00:24:19,992 --> 00:24:25,124
and I have to ask myself, does
God want me to fight for this?

281
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:29,901
I have followed the
guidance of others too long.

282
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:32,937
I have made mistakes, yes.

283
00:24:35,507 --> 00:24:38,341
I have lived somewhat
in Alfred's shadow.

284
00:24:43,749 --> 00:24:46,082
And now you see the light?

285
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:55,821
I know he was speaking the truth when
he said the kingdoms are stronger united.

286
00:24:59,631 --> 00:25:02,760
So, perhaps I should
be unifying them myself...

287
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:06,505
rather than making
a child do it for me.

288
00:25:11,944 --> 00:25:13,640
You are free to go, Uhtred.

289
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:24,014
Return to Aelfwynn.

290
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:30,162
Reunite with my sister and keep
them safe until the conflict passes.

291
00:25:30,229 --> 00:25:34,064
Matters may grow ugly here.
It is best they do not see it.

292
00:26:02,995 --> 00:26:04,759
You learn something every day...

293
00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:09,324
They'll be pushed back to the
sea, drowning in their own blood!

294
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:11,597
Picked on the
wrong men this time!

295
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:14,863
Hey!

296
00:26:16,008 --> 00:26:17,374
Did you hear that, bitch?

297
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:19,708
Do you want to congratulate us?

298
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:23,408
Oh, she cannot speak for thirst.

299
00:26:24,116 --> 00:26:26,278
Hey, want a drink?

300
00:26:27,386 --> 00:26:29,787
Come on. Come on.

301
00:27:16,802 --> 00:27:20,000
She says your daughter
passed into the next life.

302
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:24,566
And her body was
taken to Aegelesburg.

303
00:27:49,768 --> 00:27:54,331
Has Uhtred finally realized
the stupidity of his defiance?

304
00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:55,600
I would say not.

305
00:27:56,141 --> 00:27:58,872
But I have asked him
to leave Aegelesburg.

306
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:02,942
- And I would like you to do the same.
- Lord?

307
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:06,508
More than once you
have taken it upon yourself

308
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:10,885
to interpret my wishes in a
way that I find unchristian.

309
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:14,153
I have tried to guide
you on a bolder course.

310
00:28:14,226 --> 00:28:17,492
Is it boldness to
confine a widow?

311
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:19,521
Beat a man as he was chained?

312
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:24,569
I simply placed myself between you
and some necessary unpleasantness.

313
00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:27,469
- I did what you asked.
- But not what I wanted.

314
00:28:28,340 --> 00:28:32,334
Once again, you used my
orders to suit your own wishes.

315
00:28:32,978 --> 00:28:37,473
Perhaps being so far from
home has clouded your judgment.

316
00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:40,244
Return to Winchester,
and all will be well.

317
00:28:40,686 --> 00:28:42,587
Very well, I shall
do as you request.

318
00:28:46,992 --> 00:28:49,985
I hope your mother advises
you better than I have.

319
00:28:53,265 --> 00:28:57,259
Wonderful news, Edward! The word is that
Aelfwynn has been brought to the gates.

320
00:28:58,170 --> 00:28:59,263
She is here?

321
00:28:59,371 --> 00:29:02,205
- Shall I bring her into the town?
- Yes, of course! Bring her to me!

322
00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:04,532
Open the gate!

323
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:08,775
See? It is a sign! The Lord
did not want you to be a tyrant

324
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,508
and now has sent
you your reward!

325
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,450
Move, move!

326
00:29:17,189 --> 00:29:20,455
Oh, dear God! We
will need a priest.

327
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:23,358
We've tried everything. She
needs the final rites, Lord.

328
00:29:24,396 --> 00:29:27,628
Find me every healer in town. Do
not speak a word of this to anyone.

329
00:29:27,733 --> 00:29:29,224
Yes, Lord. Come with me.

330
00:29:29,701 --> 00:29:30,725
Go.

331
00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:33,438
Do you think she will survive?

332
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,653
Dear God!

333
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:53,485
I'll find the man who did this.

334
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,721
Eh, don't, don't, don't.

335
00:29:57,796 --> 00:30:00,561
What now?

336
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:04,660
There's nothing for us here,
Finan. Where's my daughter?

337
00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:08,434
She's insisting on helping Father Pyrlig,
and I've tried to dissuade her, but...

338
00:30:08,507 --> 00:30:10,840
She is too stubborn
because she is my daughter?

339
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,506
Hm.

340
00:30:13,612 --> 00:30:14,671
Where is she?

341
00:30:31,530 --> 00:30:33,761
The King continues
to take the town.

342
00:30:34,966 --> 00:30:36,366
He feeds the people.

343
00:30:36,468 --> 00:30:38,630
Truly, you have
lost your judgment.

344
00:30:40,706 --> 00:30:42,038
Think on your son!

345
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,322
- There's grain!
- Come with me.

346
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:47,372
The cart's here!

347
00:30:48,814 --> 00:30:51,214
- Okay, there's plenty to go around.
- Form a line.

348
00:30:51,283 --> 00:30:53,946
Don't push!

349
00:30:54,019 --> 00:30:56,614
Here.

350
00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:59,554
Stand back and form a line!

351
00:31:00,659 --> 00:31:02,628
- You don't need it!
- Hold on!

352
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,720
You would think
the grain was silver.

353
00:31:06,131 --> 00:31:09,533
Hey, calm yourselves. Calm
yourselves! There's more than enough.

354
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:11,227
- Stop this!
- Stand back!

355
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,805
- Get off me!
- Get off!

356
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:18,805
Stiorra!

357
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:27,882
Finan, take Stiorra!

358
00:31:27,986 --> 00:31:31,753
- Look at me. You're fine.
- Stop! Drop it!

359
00:31:33,191 --> 00:31:35,888
Enough! Get back!

360
00:31:43,034 --> 00:31:46,402
I know you suffer, but turning
on each other will not save you!

361
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:52,367
You must work as one rather
than quarreling amongst yourselves.

362
00:31:53,111 --> 00:31:55,603
Now, get back behind
the cart and form a line.

363
00:31:55,714 --> 00:31:57,580
Each person will be
given what they need.

364
00:31:57,682 --> 00:32:00,675
- Look how he influences them.
- Trust me.

365
00:32:01,086 --> 00:32:05,285
- He will make them rise against you.
- Mercian must not fight Mercian.

366
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:08,525
Anyone who wants grain
must keep the peace.

367
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:12,527
- Finan, help me with the bags.
- Lord.

368
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:17,263
Bring him before me.

369
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:22,764
Bless you.

370
00:32:22,874 --> 00:32:24,103
Thank you.

371
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:21,793
Kill anyone who looks
like they cannot work!

372
00:33:22,267 --> 00:33:26,136
Fat ones we can sell as slaves.

373
00:33:45,323 --> 00:33:47,121
Secure the fort!

374
00:34:03,208 --> 00:34:04,403
Spare him!

375
00:34:06,478 --> 00:34:07,844
You want the silver?

376
00:34:10,015 --> 00:34:11,847
I have no interest in silver.

377
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:26,324
We are looking for
a Dane named Brida.

378
00:34:26,765 --> 00:34:29,701
Too late. I killed her.

379
00:34:31,036 --> 00:34:32,527
You did not!

380
00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:53,016
Lord King, I was
leaving as we agreed.

381
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:56,584
But then you chose to be part
of a disturbance in the town.

382
00:34:56,695 --> 00:34:58,789
I did not choose
to be part of it.

383
00:34:59,531 --> 00:35:02,695
You were just guided by
forces beyond your control?

384
00:35:03,435 --> 00:35:06,462
As ever, Uhtred is but
a plaything of his gods.

385
00:35:13,211 --> 00:35:16,045
You wanted to bring
peace to Aegelesburg.

386
00:35:17,282 --> 00:35:20,150
Which is better than
wanting to start another battle.

387
00:35:20,251 --> 00:35:22,720
You truly think I seek battles?

388
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:27,282
Perhaps not, but that is what will
happen. The Ealdormen will not back down,

389
00:35:27,392 --> 00:35:30,487
so you will finish the slaughter
that the Danes have started.

390
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:31,756
I fear you are right.

391
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:35,062
There is a risk
of great slaughter.

392
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:36,761
Innocent people will suffer.

393
00:35:36,835 --> 00:35:40,897
I will crush them, leave the town
in the care of the Wessex Guard.

394
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:43,308
They will run the place
as they feel they need to,

395
00:35:43,408 --> 00:35:45,900
which is rarely an easy
life for the people, is it?

396
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:49,509
Strange things happen
in times of conflict.

397
00:35:50,315 --> 00:35:53,843
The Ealdormen are passionate
that they could repel us for a while.

398
00:35:53,952 --> 00:35:57,013
Whichever way, the
conflict would continue.

399
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:00,955
They might try to
hunt down my sister.

400
00:36:02,427 --> 00:36:03,827
They would not find her.

401
00:36:03,928 --> 00:36:07,296
So you will live as fugitives for
months, years? Is that how you see it?

402
00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:08,993
I've spent many
years on the road.

403
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,467
True, but it is not the life
that was meant for Aethelflaed.

404
00:36:11,536 --> 00:36:14,700
- Hardly what she deserves.
- That is a choice you are making.

405
00:36:18,443 --> 00:36:24,314
If I place someone to rule here
who might forge a path to peace,

406
00:36:24,382 --> 00:36:27,147
someone who might not
necessarily please the Ealdormen,

407
00:36:27,218 --> 00:36:30,950
but whose popularity with the
people might force them to accept it...

408
00:36:32,490 --> 00:36:37,554
Let us call him a Lord and
Protector who would rule here

409
00:36:37,662 --> 00:36:41,064
just for a few years until
things are less volatile.

410
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:48,162
I wondered if that
person should be you.

411
00:36:52,477 --> 00:36:53,501
Me?

412
00:37:00,018 --> 00:37:01,919
I do not want to rule here.

413
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:05,320
Yes, but as we know, you rarely
get to make your own choices.

414
00:37:06,925 --> 00:37:11,920
Find an equilibrium, wait for
an Ealdorman to come of age,

415
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:15,523
if my niece survives, betroth her
to someone Aethelflaed chooses.

416
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:20,402
It is clear to me you have
the respect of the people here.

417
00:37:21,005 --> 00:37:22,166
They listen to you.

418
00:37:23,408 --> 00:37:26,378
So, perhaps we should use
that to our mutual advantage.

419
00:37:26,444 --> 00:37:27,935
I do not seek advantage.

420
00:37:28,046 --> 00:37:29,571
Even to bring peace?

421
00:37:30,381 --> 00:37:33,909
You accept, you ensure
Mercia returns to how it was,

422
00:37:34,018 --> 00:37:36,578
before Aethelred
destroyed everything.

423
00:37:36,688 --> 00:37:40,125
- If I do not?
- As you said, there will be slaughter.

424
00:37:41,192 --> 00:37:43,559
And that will be a
choice you are making.

425
00:37:46,364 --> 00:37:49,300
Accept and your
reputation will be restored

426
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,767
and your men given
status and wealth.

427
00:37:53,371 --> 00:37:57,274
And in a few years, you will be free to
pursue whichever dreams you may have.

428
00:37:58,143 --> 00:38:02,444
I could give you the troops you
need to retake the fortress you lost.

429
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:08,276
And in return?

430
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:12,052
I would be your King
and expect your loyalty.

431
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:22,657
I expect an answer by tomorrow.

432
00:38:52,197 --> 00:38:53,995
How do I know you are Brida?

433
00:38:55,099 --> 00:38:59,298
I fought with Guthrum.
I followed Ragnar.

434
00:38:59,370 --> 00:39:00,998
I killed men at Tettenhall...

435
00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:05,509
So, you have heard of Saxon
battles. That does not make you Brida.

436
00:39:16,988 --> 00:39:19,480
It is Cnut's babe you carry,
or that of a Welshman?

437
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:25,562
The babe was made
by Cnut, but Cnut's fallen.

438
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:29,694
I do not know you.

439
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:34,328
Cnut's cousin,
Sigtryggr of Irland.

440
00:39:34,405 --> 00:39:36,965
Sigtryggr was
defeated and killed.

441
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:40,876
Defeated, yes, driven
from his settlements, yes.

442
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:44,683
But at this moment, quite alive.

443
00:39:48,853 --> 00:39:53,848
- And who do you belong to now, Brida?
- No man. I am a warrior alone.

444
00:39:53,925 --> 00:39:56,053
You do not look like a warrior.

445
00:39:57,061 --> 00:39:59,223
Give me your sword
and I will show you.

446
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:02,494
Give you my sword?
You might kill me.

447
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:08,066
No, the Brida I have heard of
is cunning, so I will stay armed.

448
00:40:09,674 --> 00:40:12,940
If you are who you say
you are, then show me.

449
00:40:34,866 --> 00:40:37,802
Listen to me. Talk.

450
00:40:42,307 --> 00:40:47,268
Prepare to be broken,
as you tried to break me.

451
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:04,662
Brida! You have the
anger of a she-wolf!

452
00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:14,469
- Is he joking?
- No.

453
00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:20,503
So, he's either lost his mind,
or he's a genius like his father.

454
00:41:20,611 --> 00:41:25,345
He says that Aethelflaed
will be defended. And it is true.

455
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:28,949
No other leader in Mercia
would protect her like I would.

456
00:41:29,587 --> 00:41:30,611
But?

457
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:33,621
But I was not born to
be the Lord of Mercia.

458
00:41:33,691 --> 00:41:35,421
I never sought
that kind of power.

459
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:38,088
Well, perhaps that in itself
makes you the best man.

460
00:41:39,597 --> 00:41:42,157
Mercia has suffered
from being led by ambition.

461
00:41:43,935 --> 00:41:47,633
So, apart from the
silver and the power

462
00:41:47,705 --> 00:41:51,506
and saving the woman you
love, what is holding you back?

463
00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:55,774
Giving my loyalty to another Saxon king.
I swore to myself I would not do that.

464
00:41:55,847 --> 00:41:59,682
I swear I will not drink too much ale,
and I frequently go back on my word.

465
00:42:03,988 --> 00:42:07,857
Nobody wants to rip the two
kingdoms apart, least of all Aethelflaed.

466
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,330
It is a path to peace.
And she would be safe.

467
00:42:16,334 --> 00:42:20,533
So, we have no conclusion other
than Edward has outwitted you.

468
00:42:21,172 --> 00:42:22,196
For now.

469
00:42:22,306 --> 00:42:24,172
So, he is as
clever as his father.

470
00:42:25,043 --> 00:42:28,536
Which will be good for
all Saxons, including you.

471
00:42:35,420 --> 00:42:38,822
How did Cnut fall? Was it
his arrogance or his anger?

472
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:44,226
Both, but mainly his betrayal.

473
00:42:45,229 --> 00:42:47,698
So, who did he murder
to further his ambition?

474
00:42:50,501 --> 00:42:52,902
He took Ragnar, who I
loved, and blamed another.

475
00:42:53,004 --> 00:42:56,406
Mm. The man had a
reputation for cunning.

476
00:42:56,507 --> 00:42:58,066
I had always admired that.

477
00:42:59,177 --> 00:43:02,841
But he died dishonored, if he
allowed his woman to be enslaved.

478
00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:06,881
That was the work of
Uhtred the Dane Slayer.

479
00:43:08,619 --> 00:43:10,713
But I will have my
revenge on him.

480
00:43:10,788 --> 00:43:13,622
I have heard of this Dane Slayer

481
00:43:13,724 --> 00:43:16,523
and what he has done
to our people for years.

482
00:43:21,466 --> 00:43:24,595
Why did Cnut not come
when we requested help?

483
00:43:26,037 --> 00:43:27,528
We had our own battles.

484
00:43:32,410 --> 00:43:33,434
What?

485
00:43:34,412 --> 00:43:37,814
- You escaped without our help.
- My kinsfolk did not.

486
00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:41,548
Our women and children
were murdered by the Irish

487
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:43,144
before we had a
chance to save them.

488
00:43:44,088 --> 00:43:46,250
Then you should avenge
them and make more children.

489
00:43:49,594 --> 00:43:50,789
Perhaps you're right.

490
00:43:52,330 --> 00:43:53,662
Grow strong here.

491
00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:59,764
Rest the men, get more
silver, then retake Dyflin.

492
00:44:03,074 --> 00:44:06,909
It seems empty, no?

493
00:44:07,612 --> 00:44:10,776
Yes, the greatest
riches are in Wessex.

494
00:44:10,848 --> 00:44:13,249
Sadly, the Saxons
do not like to share.

495
00:44:13,851 --> 00:44:17,015
And yet they say their
faith is based on love.

496
00:44:17,121 --> 00:44:18,521
They talk a lot of shit.

497
00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:22,649
More shit than the
Irish? This I can't believe.

498
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,856
You have a lot to learn. What
are you gonna do for now?

499
00:44:26,964 --> 00:44:29,957
I'll cut off the head of this
man and send it to Hywel.

500
00:44:35,206 --> 00:44:37,266
It's just around
the next corner.

501
00:44:37,341 --> 00:44:40,675
- Where are we going?
- It's a safer place to hide.

502
00:44:46,951 --> 00:44:47,975
Let's go.

503
00:44:52,723 --> 00:44:53,952
That's it. Go inside.

504
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:56,786
Go.

505
00:44:59,564 --> 00:45:00,725
Stay there.

506
00:45:04,969 --> 00:45:07,404
Show me that
child, Father Pyrlig.

507
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,798
Do not hide him from me.

508
00:45:17,915 --> 00:45:21,079
He is here?

509
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,211
- You know about him?
- Indeed.

510
00:45:24,755 --> 00:45:28,351
I fear he had been
taken, or lost forever.

511
00:45:32,196 --> 00:45:33,858
Did Uhtred bring him here?

512
00:45:34,932 --> 00:45:37,527
Apparently, even Aegelesburg
is better than the road.

513
00:45:37,602 --> 00:45:41,767
- Had quite the adventure by all accounts.
- Then I thank him for it.

514
00:45:41,872 --> 00:45:45,934
I know you dislike him, but
maybe Edward is right this time.

515
00:45:46,677 --> 00:45:48,942
Father Pyrlig, what
have I not been told?

516
00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:29,246
There is a rumor you
have struck a bargain.

517
00:46:29,754 --> 00:46:30,778
Indeed.

518
00:46:31,722 --> 00:46:35,215
- I do not like the man.
- I do not need your approval.

519
00:46:35,293 --> 00:46:37,125
But it may be the
only compromise.

520
00:46:37,228 --> 00:46:39,424
The Ealdormen will complain,

521
00:46:39,497 --> 00:46:42,126
but this time, do not
treat them too harshly.

522
00:46:43,401 --> 00:46:45,063
Then you will find
some redemption.

523
00:46:45,136 --> 00:46:49,904
- I do not need redemption, either.
- Oh, my son, you do.

524
00:46:51,809 --> 00:46:53,573
If only for the sins
of your mother.

525
00:47:05,189 --> 00:47:09,251
- Who is this?
- He is Aethelstan.

526
00:47:12,196 --> 00:47:13,824
He cannot be here.

527
00:47:13,931 --> 00:47:17,834
I know it is difficult for
you to acknowledge him,

528
00:47:17,935 --> 00:47:21,702
but I wondered, now that
certain threats are absent...

529
00:47:22,873 --> 00:47:25,934
perhaps the moment has
come for you to be reconciled.

530
00:47:26,010 --> 00:47:28,206
- Mother, I cannot.
- Please.

531
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,615
He has lived a life of lies,
and that must be righted.

532
00:47:37,488 --> 00:47:43,052
I was wrong to wrench you apart,
and it's something that I deeply regret.

533
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:49,164
I thought my past actions
were protecting you and Wessex,

534
00:47:49,233 --> 00:47:51,202
that I acted in the name of God.

535
00:47:51,802 --> 00:47:59,039
But God put love in your heart,
for your first wife and this child.

536
00:48:00,311 --> 00:48:02,177
And I should not
have ignored that.

537
00:48:06,016 --> 00:48:09,544
So, I ask for
your forgiveness...

538
00:48:10,855 --> 00:48:11,879
and his.

539
00:48:13,758 --> 00:48:16,193
He needs your protection.

540
00:48:25,269 --> 00:48:27,534
Place him back to
where he was concealed.

541
00:49:19,723 --> 00:49:20,747
My King.

542
00:49:39,577 --> 00:49:42,274
- Have you made your choice?
- I will accept.

543
00:49:45,082 --> 00:49:47,074
If I can rule as my own man.

544
00:49:48,486 --> 00:49:52,423
I've never wanted to control
Mercia. Only see it at peace.

545
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:54,857
Good, then we are of one mind.

546
00:49:56,460 --> 00:49:59,919
At long last, I strike a bargain
with Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

547
00:50:00,464 --> 00:50:04,959
That is a name from another life,
but yes, for now, we strike a bargain.

548
00:50:13,277 --> 00:50:14,301
Guards!

549
00:50:15,446 --> 00:50:17,608
Cenric, stand down your men.

550
00:50:18,115 --> 00:50:20,380
Lady, I cannot.
The King forbids it.

551
00:50:20,818 --> 00:50:23,447
I am told this is where
my daughter's body is.

552
00:50:24,522 --> 00:50:26,684
This is where your
King has led us.

553
00:50:27,458 --> 00:50:32,624
Cenric, please, in the name of Alfred,
open the gates and stand down your men.

554
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:43,798
Open the gates!

555
00:51:01,025 --> 00:51:04,894
- Oh, my dearest girl, you've come home.
- Aelfwynn is dead.

556
00:51:04,995 --> 00:51:06,725
No, child.

557
00:51:06,830 --> 00:51:10,824
A miracle has occurred and you
are mistaken in your heartbreak.

558
00:51:21,946 --> 00:51:25,280
Mama?

559
00:51:49,306 --> 00:51:51,605
<i>This night together!</i>

560
00:51:51,709 --> 00:51:56,477
Oh, oh! Eh, eh! To Eadith, for
not killing the Lady Aelfwynn.

561
00:51:56,580 --> 00:51:58,640
<i>- To Eadith!
- Yes!</i>

562
00:51:59,283 --> 00:52:02,879
Your brother has restored
peace, the people are being fed,

563
00:52:03,654 --> 00:52:05,088
and the fever passes.

564
00:52:05,556 --> 00:52:08,549
To Sihtric and Aethelflaed
and Young Uhtred, too.

565
00:52:08,626 --> 00:52:09,787
May they return safely.

566
00:52:10,394 --> 00:52:12,886
But if there's ale still
left when they get here,

567
00:52:12,963 --> 00:52:14,989
then we have let ourselves down.

568
00:52:19,670 --> 00:52:23,437
Mostly, everyone now
looks forward to the new Lord.

569
00:52:23,507 --> 00:52:25,066
Who is that to be?

570
00:52:26,410 --> 00:52:28,902
He has asked Uhtred.

571
00:52:31,915 --> 00:52:36,148
To the lands, to the
silver and to the women!

572
00:52:36,253 --> 00:52:38,745
To Uhtred of Mercia!

573
00:52:38,822 --> 00:52:40,916
Uhtred of Mercia!

574
00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:45,320
Finally, he can pay
us some money!

575
00:52:45,429 --> 00:52:46,988
I very much doubt it.

575
00:52:47,305 --> 00:53:47,948
