1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,594
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:07,664
The battle for influence
threatens to break old alliances.
3
00:00:07,774 --> 00:00:10,938
Edward is acting as if Mercia
is his kingdom and it is not!
4
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:15,676
Perhaps being so far from
home has clouded your judgment.
5
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:17,614
Return to Winchester
and all will be well.
6
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:22,679
[Uhtred] As power shifts in Wessex,
Aelswith sees her plans take hold.
7
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:26,692
I would like to take Aethelstan
to Bedwyn and raise him there.
8
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:30,321
Make the arrangements. I will
ask Uhtred to accompany you.
9
00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:35,364
[Uhtred] Eardwulf's treachery
has been exposed by his sister.
10
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:36,732
Save yourself.
11
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:43,734
[Uhtred] Without allies, he seeks
those who also desire revenge.
12
00:00:43,844 --> 00:00:47,406
He is the turd who will
help us take Winchester
13
00:00:47,514 --> 00:00:50,973
without a single drop of
Danish blood being shed.
14
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:54,180
[Uhtred] I accepted
an offer to rule Mercia.
15
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:57,884
At long last I strike a bargain
with Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
16
00:00:57,991 --> 00:01:00,426
[Uhtred] But I knew of a
person more deserving.
17
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,720
As my first act as
Lord of Mercia...
18
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:06,995
I feel I have no choice but
to relinquish the throne...
19
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,662
- [murmuring]
- in favor of Lady Aethelflaed!
20
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:13,264
Lady Aethelflaed
cannot rule Mercia!
21
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:16,366
[Uhtred] Yet it was
not without sacrifice.
22
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:21,780
I swear that as long as I hold the
Mercian throne, I will remain chaste.
23
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:24,113
- [Ludeca] Is the Witan agreed?
- [Witan] Agreed!
24
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:26,846
Then, Lady Aethelflaed,
take your throne.
25
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,786
[cheering]
26
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,287
[Uhtred] Destiny is all!
27
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:40,725
[cheering]
28
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,565
I will miss you,
Uhtred Ragnarson.
29
00:01:50,043 --> 00:01:52,069
[cheering]
30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,074
-== [ www.OpenSubtitles.com ] ==-
31
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:05,422
[cheering and
excited chattering]
32
00:02:11,898 --> 00:02:15,926
[cheering and crowd call out]
33
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,239
[woman] Long live
Lady Aethelflaed!
34
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:25,404
[cheering and happy laughter]
35
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:38,854
[indistinct chattering]

[panicked chattering]

00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:10,123
- [indistinct yelling]
- [screams]
41
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:15,218
[Aethelhelm] What is that?
42
00:03:21,902 --> 00:03:23,734
[panicked yelling and screaming]
43
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,832
[grunts and groans]
44
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,646
[yelling and screaming]
45
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:56,865
Guards!
46
00:04:00,207 --> 00:04:02,108
[yelling and screaming]
47
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:07,675
[panicked grunting]
48
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,080
[Brida] Take the priests.
49
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:20,056
[groaning and
distant panicked yells]
50
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:31,229

[breathes heavily and groans]
54
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:13,113
Don't let them kill us.
55
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,106
[whimpers and sobs softly]
56
00:05:29,796 --> 00:05:30,820
[Aelflaed sobs]
57
00:05:30,931 --> 00:05:32,695
I've been told
you are in charge.
58
00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:38,963
[Aethelhelm] I am not the King.
59
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:41,332
I'm aware you're not the king.
60
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:50,808
Would you like
to fight or to yield?
61
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:01,320
[many approaching footsteps]
62
00:06:07,834 --> 00:06:09,200
Yield.
63
00:06:12,138 --> 00:06:13,663
[groans]
64
00:06:19,145 --> 00:06:20,909
- [grunts]
- [groans]
65

- [sobs]
- [guards grunt and groan]
66

[groaning]
67
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:31,418
[groaning]
68
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:37,430
[Sigtryggr] Lock them up.
69
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:38,759
[grunts]
70
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:49,167

[Brida laughs]
72
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,913
- [Sigtryggr] Do we hold the town?
- Soon enough.
73
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:01,550
We have ripped
out the Saxon heart.
74
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:06,086
So, it begins!
75
00:07:07,961 --> 00:07:10,396
[distant yelling]
76
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,564
[indistinct shouting]
77
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:17,263
- Ready yourselves.
- Take your positions.
78
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,422
[ax chopping]
79
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,998
[Pyrlig] Am I the only
one doing any work here?
80
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:24,468
If I make the fire, I'm
not doing the cooking.
81
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:29,199
[Finan] It's such a privilege to
set up camp for Lady Aelswith.
82
00:08:29,776 --> 00:08:32,302
[Uhtred] Oh, yes.
Edward honors us...
83
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:34,208
[grunts]
84
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:35,646
escorting his mother.
85
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,174
[sighs]
86
00:08:38,284 --> 00:08:40,378
[men chatter indistinctly]
87
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:45,053
[Aelswith] When I
arrive at Bedwyn,
88
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:48,560
I will offer prayers of
thanks on your behalf.
89
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:51,991
Yet I fear I will
not be thankful.
90
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:57,470
God worked through you, Uhtred.
You did not make your sacrifice alone.
91
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,836
It was no sacrifice,
no blood was spilt.
92
00:08:59,906 --> 00:09:01,204
Pyrlig, flint!
93
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:05,335
[Aelswith] Yet you gave what was most
precious to you to the Mercian people.
94
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:08,143
And for that, I will
always be grateful.
95
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,080
Are you Lady Aelswith's man now?
96
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:14,484
If you would turn to Christ, perhaps I
could find a way to reward you properly.
97
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:18,650
Then I shall go un-rewarded. I
will not pretend a faith I do not have.
98
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:25,894
Whilst it is unlikely that
you and I will be friends...
99
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,898
I do now see how you
might be of use to me.
100
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,436
That is indeed touching.
101
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:37,071
I meant in accomplishing
the work my husband started.
102
00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:41,538
I know now that it
means something to you...
103
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:46,376
and I thought, if we could
work together, then perhaps...
104
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:49,890
I cannot be part of your plan. I
have my own children to look to.
105
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:54,552
What do you intend for the boy?
106
00:09:54,627 --> 00:10:00,191
Nothing. I just want to bring up
Alfred's bloodline, appropriately.
107
00:10:00,767 --> 00:10:03,202
Is that not right,
Father Pyrlig?
108
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:06,467
Uh, that is indeed what you say.
109
00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:10,373
I thought you were not
interested in her plan.
110
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,969
I am not. I've played my part.
111
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:16,978
The Dane-Slayer is
now a Man of Peace.
112
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:22,722
It is a great pity Alfred
is not here to witness it.
113
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:27,753
My husband saw things in
Uhtred none of us understood.
114
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:32,390
Lady, we all understood it. I
think it was just you that didn't.
115
00:10:43,143 --> 00:10:46,272
[Lady Aelswith] That will
not be enough. I feel the cold.
116
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:48,276
Please go and cut some more.
117
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,280
Of course, Lady.
118
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:55,655
- It's her way of showing she likes you.
- [laughs]
119
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:57,923
Yeah.
120
00:10:57,991 --> 00:10:59,118
[Finan chuckles]
121
00:11:01,694 --> 00:11:02,787
[sighs]
122
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:07,990
- [Stiorra] How long until we reach Bedwyn?
- With luck by tomorrow,
123
00:11:08,101 --> 00:11:10,627
if we do not keep stopping
on the road to pray.
124
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:13,829
- Then we will go on to Coccham.
- Mm.
125
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,969
- Is that not good news?
- It is.
126
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:20,605
I do want to live
alongside you, Father.
127
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,206
It's just... Coccham is small.
128
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:27,719
And peaceful and safe.
129
00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:31,313
Could we not go to Winchester?
We were happy there.
130
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:34,661
Have those riders
been following us?
131
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:36,889
No. We are just
on a trading route.
132
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:41,826
[flutter of birds]
133
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:45,995
[twig snaps underfoot]
134
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:53,710
And what about them?
135
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:03,150
Lord!
136
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,357
[horse neighs and grunts]
137
00:12:15,602 --> 00:12:17,036
What do they want?
138
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:18,196
We will see.
139
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:19,762
Stay calm.
140
00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:23,601
Looks like an ambush.
141
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:27,407
Most definitely is an ambush.
142
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:36,179
[Haesten] Uhtred,
what a surprise!
143
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,422
I heard you were heading
south, but I didn't believe it.
144
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:41,756
As ever, the gods are with you.
145
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:46,856
We were in wait for the King.
146
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,035
But now you will have to do.
147
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:51,966
What do you want
from us, Haesten?
148
00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:54,438
A gift, for my new lord.
149
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,634
And who has this misfortune?
150
00:12:56,743 --> 00:13:00,145
Sigtryggr, the kin
of Ivar the Boneless.
151
00:13:00,246 --> 00:13:02,715
A boy without reputation.
152
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:03,943
Reputation will come.
153
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:09,947
He has landed from Irland and
he wants all Danes to follow him.
154
00:13:11,057 --> 00:13:13,424
He delivered Brida from
Wealas and she has joined.
155
00:13:13,993 --> 00:13:15,586
She joined with Cnut.
156
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:17,757
That did not go well for her.
157
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:18,889
[chuckles]
158
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:20,797
You've sworn to a boy, Haesten.
159
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,596
Indeed. He is young.
160
00:13:24,337 --> 00:13:25,430
But...
161
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:28,436
he is cunning.
162
00:13:30,576 --> 00:13:35,173
Whilst you played Lord and the
Saxons fought amongst themselves, he...
163
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,149
captured Winchester!
164
00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:42,950
- No!
- Yes! Lady Aelswith, you're going home!
165
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:44,354
- Take the girl, too.
- No.
166
00:13:44,457 --> 00:13:46,016
You will not fight it!
167
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,324
[breathes heavily]
168
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,427
[pants and whimpers]
169
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:14,485
[Haesten] Huh, I did not know you
cared so much for Alfred's widow.
170
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:18,348
Come now, Uhtred,
we're even. Hm?
171
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:23,656
You took Cnut's boys from me.
I take these captives from you.
172
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:25,187
[Finan] Lord!
173
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:28,167
[grunting and angry murmuring]
174
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:29,634
[Finan] Lord!
175
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:33,002
- Listen to that pig squeal.
- [Finan] Lord, what do we do?
176
00:14:33,072 --> 00:14:34,506
We have to get
out of this alive.
177
00:14:34,574 --> 00:14:36,873
Tie them. Leave
them to die, slowly.
178
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:39,174
Sigtryggr wants you dead.
179
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:40,645
Then take me to him.
180
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:43,643
I will be happy to fight him.
181
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:47,517
And give him the reputation as
the man who killed the Dane-Slayer?
182
00:14:49,188 --> 00:14:50,212
No.
183
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:54,861
I want that honor to be mine.
184
00:15:07,173 --> 00:15:09,039
[Edward] I fear it
is too soon to leave.
185
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:13,839
Should you not take the moment
to place your authority in Mercia?
186
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:16,906
If Eoferwic is vulnerable, we have
an opportunity we cannot waste.
187
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:19,781
Then I shall come. I cannot
let you take them on alone.
188
00:15:19,886 --> 00:15:24,085
Edward, please, I have the men
and the silver to do this for us both.
189
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,590
You have spent too
much time in Mercia
190
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:30,686
and, as much as my men respect
you, one leader is enough for any army.
191
00:15:33,366 --> 00:15:39,465
It is agreed. I will return to Wessex
and Mercia has a Lady to make her proud.
192
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:41,233
Thank you.
193
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,434
I promise I will bring
the troops to Winchester
194
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:47,070
as soon as we have
secured the northern border.
195
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:50,241
And we will welcome your
men as brothers. I mean it.
196
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:54,414
We take Eoferwic and our
father's dream is revived.
197
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:57,484
We banish the Danes
within our lifetime.
198
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,825
[raucous laughter]
199
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:06,161
Oh! I am told this is
a peaceful way to die.
200
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:12,834
You go into something of a
sleep, like a night with too much ale.
201
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:14,398
[Haesten chuckles]
202
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:18,809
It will give you a
chance to dream, Uhtred.
203
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,647
And how you were
finally defeated...
204
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:27,519
[whispers]...by the
mighty Haesten!
205
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,486
Oh-ho-ho!
206
00:16:29,589 --> 00:16:30,750
- [men] Oh!
- [laughter]
207
00:16:30,823 --> 00:16:35,124
Oh, such a great warrior, huh?
208
00:16:35,595 --> 00:16:38,690
Here's your sword.
Come and retrieve it.
209
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:41,858
No? [chuckles]
210
00:16:42,768 --> 00:16:46,000
You two, stay here and
report which one dies first.
211
00:16:46,105 --> 00:16:47,300
[laughs]
212
00:16:48,541 --> 00:16:52,273
And if they take too long to
die, slit their throats like hogs.
213
00:16:53,145 --> 00:16:54,943
- [man] Yes, Haesten.
- [laughter]
214
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:58,143
[chuckles] Come, we return
the Queen to her palace
215
00:16:58,217 --> 00:17:01,654
and finally get to see how much
King Edward really loves his mother.
216
00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:03,849
[raucous laughter]
217
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,292
[grunting and laughter]
218
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:10,660
[groans]
219
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:13,131
- Calm down, Sihtric.
- [yelling and clatter of hooves]
220
00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:15,828
- You will need your energy.
- [Sihtric groans]
221
00:17:30,917 --> 00:17:32,044
[indistinct chatter]
222
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:34,814
[Brida] Look at him,
stealing from the dead.
223
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:37,479
Does he not feel rewarded?
224
00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:44,156
It certainly suggests he does not
trust us, which is probably wise of him.
225
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:46,995
I do not like him.
He is too fawning.
226
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:50,366
- Yes, he's an arse-licker.
- Hm.
227
00:17:50,937 --> 00:17:54,203
But his word was good,
and now we have the prize.
228
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:57,343
We should make a plan.
229
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:58,503
A plan for?
230
00:17:58,578 --> 00:17:59,705
How we destroy them...
231
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:05,183
the town, their holy places...
everything that makes them who they are.
232
00:18:05,718 --> 00:18:08,017
And what makes Edward who he is?
233
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:11,057
He's not the enemy his
father was, but like all Saxons,
234
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:13,024
he's made weak by his God.
235
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,191
Hurt their faith
and you hurt them.
236
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:17,957
Start with their dead.
237
00:18:18,898 --> 00:18:20,799
Unbury them. Dig them up.
238
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:22,300
[chuckles] They will hate that.
239
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:27,738
- Hm, I think we wait, see how they react.
- And let the Saxons take the lead?
240
00:18:27,807 --> 00:18:31,266
You let them take the lead, they
reveal who their true leaders are.
241
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:33,910
And then you take
those men first.
242
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,040
And then we will be
taking the Dane-Slayer.
243
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,142
And you will get what you want.
244
00:18:40,653 --> 00:18:41,712
[Uhtred] Sihtric.
245
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,153
[Sihtric groans]
246
00:18:43,255 --> 00:18:44,951
- Sihtric.
- Yes.
247
00:18:45,057 --> 00:18:46,218
Stay awake.
248
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:47,419
[grunts and groans]
249
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:49,894
Sihtric! Stay awake!
250
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,454
- [groans]
- Okay, look at me. You'll be fine.
251
00:18:52,565 --> 00:18:55,262
- [laughter]
- [Finan] Lambs waiting for the slaughter.
252
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:57,565
- [woman screams in distance]
- [Dane] Huh?
253
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:59,071
[Sihtric groans]
254
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:00,470
[woman screams]
255
00:19:00,573 --> 00:19:03,133
- I'll go.
- [muttering]
256
00:19:03,242 --> 00:19:04,904
[Sihtric groans]
257
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:07,697
- [Uhtred] Can you reach the knot?
- [Finan] The ropes are too tight.
258
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:15,844
[whimpers and screams]
259
00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:24,588
Lady?
260
00:19:26,632 --> 00:19:27,656
[groans]
261
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:31,865
[grunts and groans]
262
00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:34,331
[groans]
263
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,703
[grunts and groans]
264
00:19:43,716 --> 00:19:44,945
[Dane] Orm!
265
00:19:46,886 --> 00:19:47,945
Orm?
266
00:19:49,121 --> 00:19:50,145
Where are you?
267
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:52,047
[breathes heavily]
268
00:19:55,061 --> 00:19:56,393
[Dane] Orm?
269
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:00,789
Orm, where did you go?
270
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:03,492
Orm?
271
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:06,395
Orm!
272
00:20:07,907 --> 00:20:10,399
- [Finan] I tried.
- [Eadith pants]
273
00:20:10,509 --> 00:20:13,877
- Eadith, quickly! Go to Sihtric.
- [pants] All right.
274
00:20:16,315 --> 00:20:18,181
[Eadith pants]
275
00:20:18,250 --> 00:20:20,583
[Pyrlig] That's it.
Release his hands first.
276
00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:25,990
- Faster.
- [Eadith grunts and pants]
277
00:20:27,827 --> 00:20:29,022
[Finan] Hurry up.
278
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:30,853
[Eadith grunts]
279
00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:35,165
- [Eadith grunts]
- Make him fall, why don't you?
280
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:39,503
- [Uhtred] Thank you! Pyrlig next.
- [Finan] Is he?
281
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:44,607
- [Uhtred] Wake up, Sihtric!
- [groans and pants]
282
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,372
- [grunts]
- [Pyrlig] You're safe.
283
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:47,504
[Dane roars]
284
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:49,674
- [Finan] Kill him, Sihtric!
- [yelling]
285
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,377
[Finan] Kill the bastard!
286
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:54,045
[grunting and groaning]
287
00:20:57,456 --> 00:20:58,617
[Dane grunts angrily]
288
00:21:00,526 --> 00:21:03,018
- [both grunt]
- [Sihtric] Oh, thank you.
289
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:06,395
- [Eadith screams]
- [grunting]
290
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:12,628
You're an angel.
291
00:21:12,738 --> 00:21:14,400
[yelling and grunting]
292
00:21:15,741 --> 00:21:19,109
[grunts and groans]
293
00:21:19,211 --> 00:21:21,043
[panting and grunting]
294
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:22,547
[Osferth] Coming, Lord.
295
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:25,141
[grunting and muttering]
296
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:30,616
[grunting and panting]
297
00:21:30,723 --> 00:21:32,555
[groans]
298
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:35,060
[all pant and groan]
299
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:40,764
Move! They cannot
have taken them far!
300
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:42,893
[panting and grunting]
301
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:46,132
- They've taken the horses, Lord.
- Ah!
302
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:47,433
We must get to Stiorra!
303
00:21:47,506 --> 00:21:49,600
[Finan] Lord, they do not
know she's your daughter.
304
00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:52,509
Pyrlig, find Edward. Tell
him what has happened here.
305
00:21:52,611 --> 00:21:54,580
- Yes, Lord.
- We go ahead to Winchester.
306
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,276
They will not take what is
not theirs, not whilst I live!
307
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:59,614
- [pants] Lord!
- What?
308
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:01,449
- [grunts]
- Run!
309
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,820
[all pant and grunt]
310
00:22:04,924 --> 00:22:06,358
Let's go.
311
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:04,749
[grunts softly]
312
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,379
[man clears throat]
313
00:23:13,058 --> 00:23:14,082
[Brida] What?
314
00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:26,195
- [Aethelhelm inhales and exhales]
- Hm?
315
00:23:28,173 --> 00:23:32,838
I want to strike a bargain.
I am a very rich man.
316
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:33,936
[Brida grunts]
317
00:23:37,216 --> 00:23:39,776
- And?
- [clears throat and breathes heavily]
318
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:45,447
And I can offer you more
silver than you... [grunts softly]
319
00:23:45,557 --> 00:23:47,753
I have lived without
the comfort of silver.
320
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:51,458
I only want one thing
and that you cannot give.
321
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:54,260
- What? Perhaps.
- Revenge.
322
00:23:55,301 --> 00:23:57,793
Oh. On whom?
323
00:24:00,239 --> 00:24:02,640
[coughs and wheezes]
324
00:24:03,776 --> 00:24:05,301
All of you.
325
00:24:05,411 --> 00:24:07,437
[coughs]
326
00:24:07,546 --> 00:24:08,878
[receding footsteps]
327
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:10,576
[hinges creak and door slams]
328
00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:12,743
[indistinct shouting]
329
00:24:24,063 --> 00:24:25,793
I get to Winchester at last.
330
00:24:25,898 --> 00:24:28,766
[Aelswith] Do not look on
it. It is not the place I left.
331
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:34,096
Be under no illusion. They will murder
us. So, I suggest you say your prayers
332
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:36,165
and thank the Lord
for the lives you've led.
333
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:38,676
I will not. I'm not a Christian.
334
00:24:47,786 --> 00:24:50,620
Speak nothing of how we
vanquished the Dane-Slayer.
335
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:54,353
We collect our reward from Sigtryggr
and leave this place with silver.
336
00:24:54,460 --> 00:24:58,295
Only then do we let it be
known who the true warriors are!
337
00:25:01,967 --> 00:25:03,162
[door opens]
338
00:25:13,779 --> 00:25:14,940
Lady Aelswith.
339
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:18,382
I'm so happy to see
your family reunited.
340
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:21,215
I want to speak with
whoever leads you.
341
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:23,519
I lead here.
342
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:27,718
- I mean, the man in charge of this.
- [Brida chuckles]
343
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:33,128
[spits]
344
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:37,367
Do not insult me.
345
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:40,337
I am not the one using insults.
346
00:25:40,906 --> 00:25:43,876
But I am giving you a warning.
347
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:46,878
This incursion will
not be tolerated.
348
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,146
My son will burn
us all to the ground...
349
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:55,710
before he concedes one
square of Wessex land.
350
00:25:56,355 --> 00:26:00,156
You are a pack of fools...
351
00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:05,859
Unknowingly, you have trapped
yourselves within these walls.
352
00:26:05,931 --> 00:26:09,333
For once, the heathen
are all in one place.
353
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:16,265
And when the fire
comes, as come it shall...
354
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:22,211
we will watch your
souls burn as we ascend!
355
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:24,042
[scoffs]
356
00:26:35,861 --> 00:26:38,023
Have her servant
girl feed her shit.
357
00:26:38,964 --> 00:26:42,264
Torture me by all means, but you must
know that she and the boy are Danes.
358
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:49,371
They were taken, as slaves,
after our victory at Tettenhall.
359
00:26:50,309 --> 00:26:54,110
If you value your
people, take them back.
360
00:26:58,117 --> 00:26:59,449
Who is Sjofn?
361
00:27:01,253 --> 00:27:02,812
Handmaiden of Frigga.
362
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:04,583
She is half Dane at most.
363
00:27:06,892 --> 00:27:07,916
The monk boy not at all.
364
00:27:10,095 --> 00:27:13,156
Half Dane is enough. Hold
the young woman separately.
365
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:16,599
She's Uhtred's
daughter. I recognize her.
366
00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:20,804
We met in Mercia when
my sister betrayed me.
367
00:27:20,906 --> 00:27:22,807
I've never seen you before.
368
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:26,470
Of course, she has his look.
And she is cunning like him.
369
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:30,979
Find Uhtred. Send him her head.
370
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,917
- [Aelswith] No!
- Do it. It will bring him.
371
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:36,182
It will bring them all
and the end will begin!
372
00:27:41,293 --> 00:27:42,317
What?
373
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:45,661
I thought you welcomed the fire.
374
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:51,263
Put the Queen and the others
back where they keep their dead king.
375
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:52,531
She comes with me.
376
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:54,796
- [grunting]
- [gasps]
377
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:58,804
[whimpering]
378
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:10,847
[panting]
379
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:25,304
- [distant yelling]
- What is it?
380
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:27,202
[all pant]
381
00:28:27,306 --> 00:28:29,002
Oh, no, no, no, no.
382
00:28:29,474 --> 00:28:32,376
- Oh, dear God!
- [distant Dane] Quick, up on the ramparts.
383
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:41,747
This does not mean they're dead.
384
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:45,248
Stiorra's strong. She'll
have kept herself hidden.
385
00:28:45,991 --> 00:28:47,983
[distant yelling]
386
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:50,552
[Sihtric] Why have they
strengthened their defenses?
387
00:28:51,096 --> 00:28:53,327
They could be
preparing for a siege.
388
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:56,891
- I thought that Danes did not like sieges.
- [Uhtred] Yes.
389
00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:01,169
Perhaps Sigtryggr
learned something in Irland.
390
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,039
He's cunning. Maybe
he changes the strategy.
391
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:06,905
Strategy or not, there's
too many of them.
392
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:11,947
What if we cannot find a way in?
393
00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:16,548
If Sigtryggr fought the Irish,
394
00:29:16,622 --> 00:29:19,217
he'll know what
hard bastards we are
395
00:29:19,291 --> 00:29:25,720
and how we do not give up, even
when it looks completely impossible.
396
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:28,028
[door opens]
397
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,194
[grunts and breathes heavily]
398
00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:33,236
[Sigtryggr] Do not.
399
00:29:33,305 --> 00:29:35,536
[Stiorra breathes heavily]
400
00:29:39,044 --> 00:29:41,570
[Sigtryggr] I will not
harm you. Do not.
401
00:29:48,754 --> 00:29:50,586
I only wish to speak with you.
402
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:57,425
Answer me truthfully
and I will treat you kindly.
403
00:29:57,496 --> 00:30:00,466
I've heard of men's kindness
and I do not want it. [pants]
404
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,235
I am the Dane who
took Winchester.
405
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:07,171
If I wanted to hump a woman,
I would not need to use force.
406
00:30:08,507 --> 00:30:09,736
[inhales deeply]
407
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:25,150
Who was your mother?
408
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:29,461
Gisela, sister of
Guthred of Northumbria.
409
00:30:29,528 --> 00:30:31,656
Oh, so we share
the same ancestors.
410
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:33,129
Yet we're not the same.
411
00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:35,197
And where is your home?
412
00:30:36,101 --> 00:30:37,592
Bebbanburg.
413
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:39,638
A young woman
with land in the north.
414
00:30:39,705 --> 00:30:42,504
Our lands were stolen, but
my father will see them restored.
415
00:30:42,607 --> 00:30:45,975
Hm, so, are you one
of us, or one of them?
416
00:30:46,044 --> 00:30:47,307
I'm both!
417
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:50,975
As are many living here,
two generations, three.
418
00:30:51,483 --> 00:30:54,317
This foolishness of who
is Saxon and who is Dane!
419
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:58,448
When one side seeks to destroy the
other, you must choose in order to survive.
420
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:01,618
Well, I refuse. It's
a game for old men.
421
00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:07,493
I won't be held to the
feuds from years ago.
422
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:10,833
I have no fight with either
side and I will not choose.
423
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:14,131
It would dishonor either
my father or my mother.
424
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:17,665
Well, then, I would say this
love of honor makes you a Dane.
425
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:21,246
The Saxon cares only
for obedience to their God.
426
00:31:21,346 --> 00:31:23,372
Then you know nothing of Saxons.
427
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:25,542
They treasure honor
as much as you do.
428
00:31:25,650 --> 00:31:28,017
Yet they say their god
is the god of peace.
429
00:31:28,086 --> 00:31:31,887
Do you also believe them when they
say their god came back from the dead?
430
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:33,083
[Sigtryggr laughs]
431
00:31:37,195 --> 00:31:40,029
Do you think there could be
peace between Saxon and Dane?
432
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:44,098
They are new to me. I wish
to understand their ways.
433
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:46,668
Many would like there to be.
434
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:50,103
Tell me of your father Uhtred.
435
00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:52,742
Why does he hate us?
436
00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:55,837
- He doesn't.
- Then why does he kill so many of my kin?
437
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,110
Why does he revel in
his title Dane-Slayer?
438
00:31:58,216 --> 00:32:00,242
He doesn't revel
in it. He hates it.
439
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:03,014
You speak like a
man who's never killed.
440
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:05,250
Oh, I have killed,
but only Christians.
441
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:09,027
I would never betray my people.
442
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:10,756
He's never betrayed anyone.
443
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:15,025
He was often torn between
those who loved him like their own
444
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:16,261
and those who were his blood.
445
00:32:17,202 --> 00:32:19,603
My mother was a
Dane and he loved her.
446
00:32:20,739 --> 00:32:23,072
If Uhtred were intent
on destroying the Danes,
447
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:26,873
to clean us from the land,
why am I here to speak of it?
448
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:31,143
[distant yelling]
449
00:32:31,249 --> 00:32:34,219
- We could enter with those villagers.
- [Finan] We should do it now then.
450
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,585
If they get that food
in and close the gate.
451
00:32:36,655 --> 00:32:38,988
But, Lord, you are known here.
452
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:41,889
We're all known here.
This plan will not work.
453
00:32:42,727 --> 00:32:45,094
Someone would betray us
in return for their own safety.
454
00:32:47,165 --> 00:32:48,997
- [sighs]
- I could go in.
455
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:53,063
I've not been here.
I will not be noticed.
456
00:32:53,138 --> 00:32:55,835
It is a journey with
no quick return.
457
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:59,935
I can survive a siege. I will find
out where the captives are being kept
458
00:33:00,011 --> 00:33:02,490
and when you breach the walls,
you will know where to look for them.
459
00:33:02,514 --> 00:33:05,006
That could save them
if it comes to a fight.
460
00:33:05,684 --> 00:33:06,743
Mm.
461
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:10,688
Uh, you do not have to do this.
462
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:12,621
No, no, I will.
463
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:16,454
[Finan] We will get you provisions.
You cannot go empty-handed.
464
00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:20,489
They will close the gates.
There will be no way out.
465
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:24,161
I know. It will bring them
comfort to know that you are here.
466
00:33:28,473 --> 00:33:30,965
[distant chattering
and shouting]
467
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:40,441
[indistinct chattering]
468
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:44,615
[Edward] To Wessex.
469
00:33:46,558 --> 00:33:47,719
[chuckling]
470
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:55,490
Both?
471
00:33:57,302 --> 00:34:00,067
- [Pyrlig] If they are...
- Both my heirs?
472
00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:04,302
Lord, assuming Aelfweard was
at the palace with the Queen, yes.
473
00:34:04,376 --> 00:34:08,472
[Edward breathes heavily]
474
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:12,348
Why... why did Uhtred not
protect those on the road?
475
00:34:12,417 --> 00:34:15,182
He tried. There were
too many to fight off.
476
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:16,913
[Edward] Too many...
477
00:34:19,658 --> 00:34:22,890
[exhales] Did... did
someone betray me?
478
00:34:25,263 --> 00:34:28,256
- Betray, Lord?
- The Danes do not act by stealth!
479
00:34:28,366 --> 00:34:29,698
[sighs] Lord...
480
00:34:29,768 --> 00:34:32,602
They must have been told we
were absent from Winchester.
481
00:34:33,071 --> 00:34:36,166
Lord, your presence in
Mercia was never hidden.
482
00:34:37,509 --> 00:34:39,740
Are you suggesting
it is my fault?
483
00:34:40,545 --> 00:34:41,569
Hm?
484
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:46,780
That I have failed my people
worse than any king, hm?
485
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:52,719
That I am more stupid and more
foolish than any who came before me?
486
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:03,428
Ready my men. Raise the Fyrd!
487
00:35:03,535 --> 00:35:05,401
Raise the Mercian Guard!
488
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:07,302
Raise the dead for all I care!
489
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:09,431
Winchester will be retaken!
490
00:35:13,144 --> 00:35:15,773
[indistinct yelling
and grunting]
491
00:35:24,422 --> 00:35:25,651
[grunting]
492
00:35:26,992 --> 00:35:29,621
Perhaps this man was a great
warrior. What do you think?
493
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:31,458
- I demand you make them stop this!
- Why?
494
00:35:31,563 --> 00:35:34,465
This is clearly wrong!
This is sacrilege!
495
00:35:34,566 --> 00:35:37,058
But I am not a Christian. So?
496
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:40,469
Please, let these
men rest peacefully.
497
00:35:40,572 --> 00:35:42,803
I knew some of them. I
fought alongside them.
498
00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:47,946
I may have abandoned the Lords of Mercia,
but I never abandoned simple warriors!
499
00:35:48,013 --> 00:35:51,279
So, you lie to yourself,
as well as everyone else!
500
00:35:51,850 --> 00:35:54,911
You do not get to choose
which Saxons you've betrayed.
501
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:57,455
You've spat on all of them and
now you must watch us do worse.
502
00:35:57,522 --> 00:35:59,081
I have not spat!
503
00:35:59,791 --> 00:36:01,123
I was forced to.
504
00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:03,627
No one forced
you. You begged us.
505
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:07,364
And as I said,
I'm not a Christian.
506
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,294
And I'm yet to meet people
who welcome traitors.
507
00:36:12,771 --> 00:36:14,330
So, be glad these men are dead,
508
00:36:14,439 --> 00:36:16,965
so they can't witness what
you've become a part of.
509
00:36:24,649 --> 00:36:26,845
[grunting]
510
00:36:26,951 --> 00:36:29,045
[Danes chatter and laugh]
511
00:36:40,632 --> 00:36:41,656
[guard] Go.
512
00:36:41,733 --> 00:36:43,964
[background chattering]
513
00:37:28,379 --> 00:37:29,438
[guard] Here.
514
00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:33,449
- I will never forgive this.
- [door slams]
515
00:37:33,551 --> 00:37:36,043
And I will never forgive the
king. If he had not abandoned...
516
00:37:36,121 --> 00:37:37,961
[Aelswith] Cnut and
Sigtryggr would have joined
517
00:37:38,022 --> 00:37:41,424
and the threat we face would
be double. Do you think that...
518
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:47,288
Hello.
519
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:51,536
Tell me, you're far too young
520
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:54,471
and too noble looking
to be a servant to her,
521
00:37:54,572 --> 00:37:58,304
so, why were you traveling
with the Lady Aelswith?
522
00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:03,244
I'm to be educated at Bedwyn.
523
00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:06,749
She must like you very much.
524
00:38:08,253 --> 00:38:10,415
My name is Lord
Aethelhelm. What's yours?
525
00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:14,988
I've been told
not to answer that.
526
00:38:17,762 --> 00:38:19,162
You can tell me.
527
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:21,899
The king's my friend.
528
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:26,096
Aethelstan?
529
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,332
Is that your name?
530
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:31,334
No.
531
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:33,475
I think it could be.
532
00:38:39,784 --> 00:38:43,016
Why have you brought the
King's bastard to Wessex?
533
00:38:44,656 --> 00:38:47,353
Because the King
has asked me to.
534
00:38:47,458 --> 00:38:48,858
The King would not do that.
535
00:38:49,694 --> 00:38:52,323
The child has no more
status than any son of a whore.
536
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:55,660
Well, perhaps you do not
know his wishes as I do!
537
00:38:56,868 --> 00:38:59,428
If we escape this,
it will be righted.
538
00:39:00,371 --> 00:39:02,272
But you will not escape this.
539
00:39:03,041 --> 00:39:06,273
So, I suggest you focus
on your account with God.
540
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:11,506
And perhaps you should reflect
on your anger towards a poor child.
541
00:39:13,051 --> 00:39:15,145
Aethelstan, come.
542
00:39:17,989 --> 00:39:21,391
Look on your
grandfather, King Alfred.
543
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:28,693
He was as strong
as this stone...
544
00:39:30,001 --> 00:39:33,494
but his eyes were
very warm and bright.
545
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:39,235
His intelligence shone through
him, as it shines through you.
546
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,212
Danes come for us to
prize us from our God.
547
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:51,547
In those times, we hold steadfast
to our Lord and do not buckle.
548
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:56,752
We may not survive this...
549
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:00,991
but our kingdom will
and that is all that matters.
550
00:40:03,902 --> 00:40:06,895
Our sense of
history is who we are.
551
00:40:08,439 --> 00:40:11,375
It is how God separated
us from the animals.
552
00:40:11,442 --> 00:40:12,842
[door opens]
553
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:22,410
- And I will not be treated as an animal.
- [door slams]
554
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:35,225
[Finan] Have we sent
Eadith to her death?
555
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:37,935
I do not think so.
556
00:40:38,036 --> 00:40:39,129
[inhales sharply]
557
00:40:39,237 --> 00:40:40,261
What now, then?
558
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:42,797
We have to wait for Edward.
559
00:40:42,907 --> 00:40:44,136
Oh, come on!
560
00:40:44,242 --> 00:40:46,370
Since when do we sit on
our arses waiting for royalty?
561
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:50,540
Since a boy with no reputation came
out of nowhere and took the biggest prize.
562
00:40:50,615 --> 00:40:51,878
[sighs]
563
00:40:52,884 --> 00:40:55,945
Do you think I want to wait
here when my daughter's within?
564
00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:58,080
If they discover who
she is, they will kill her.
565
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:01,885
So, act now, Lord,
before it's too late.
566
00:41:02,327 --> 00:41:03,420
[Sihtric grunts]
567
00:41:05,330 --> 00:41:06,593
Take them on with swords?
568
00:41:06,664 --> 00:41:08,826
I do not yet know
how to win against him.
569
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:13,063
Hey, what happened to the
man who always ran into battle?
570
00:41:16,174 --> 00:41:18,905
I lost Beocca in my
haste at Bebbanburg.
571
00:41:20,745 --> 00:41:23,510
Understand if I try to
find a more cautious path.
572
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:27,743
Hm.
573
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:30,086
I'll be quiet.
574
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:32,283
I'm an arseling.
575
00:41:33,691 --> 00:41:35,455
We care for the people within.
576
00:41:36,094 --> 00:41:38,290
It puts us at a disadvantage.
577
00:41:43,101 --> 00:41:45,969
[indistinct chattering and
laughter in background]
578
00:42:12,864 --> 00:42:14,526
[whispers] I've
been drinking ale.
579
00:42:15,633 --> 00:42:16,657
I know.
580
00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:19,632
What do you want?
581
00:42:24,876 --> 00:42:26,708
To kill someone, I think.
582
00:42:28,980 --> 00:42:31,176
Someone or myself,
one of the two.
583
00:42:32,183 --> 00:42:34,084
Sigtryggr wants me as a hostage.
584
00:42:34,185 --> 00:42:35,813
I am of use to him alive.
585
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,253
Oh, don't be fooled.
586
00:42:38,256 --> 00:42:39,417
He's playing with you.
587
00:42:40,725 --> 00:42:44,389
Unlike myself, he's a
man bereft of conscience.
588
00:42:44,495 --> 00:42:46,589
Then don't anger
him by killing me.
589
00:42:47,331 --> 00:42:48,851
If you want favor
amongst the Danes...
590
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,062
I don't want favor
amongst the Danes!
591
00:42:54,172 --> 00:42:57,165
Making a bargain with them
was madness. I can see that now.
592
00:42:58,676 --> 00:43:01,737
I will suffer whatever I choose.
593
00:43:03,047 --> 00:43:09,385
So, I might as well take pleasure
in a small scrap of vengeance.
594
00:43:09,454 --> 00:43:11,286
I have done nothing to you.
595
00:43:11,389 --> 00:43:13,415
Your father turned
my sister from me.
596
00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:18,426
Your father, Lady Aethelflaed,
the King, all of them,
597
00:43:18,529 --> 00:43:20,725
stole my chance
to regain my honor.
598
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:25,430
Pushed my face in the dirt when all I
wanted was to take back what was owed.
599
00:43:26,404 --> 00:43:28,930
Do you know what it is
to live your life derided?
600
00:43:29,407 --> 00:43:31,967
To be forced to turn from
your people to survive?
601
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:33,772
Do you know what
that does to a man?
602
00:43:34,412 --> 00:43:36,040
Turns him into a drunk?
603
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:40,451
Do not mock me.
604
00:43:40,551 --> 00:43:41,883
Then don't be pitiful.
605
00:43:42,753 --> 00:43:45,416
All this you brought upon
yourself. You know that.
606
00:43:45,490 --> 00:43:46,549
[groans]
607
00:43:47,925 --> 00:43:50,224
[footsteps]
608
00:43:50,294 --> 00:43:52,058
Is this how we play now?
609
00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:57,159
We strike those
weaker than ourselves?
610
00:43:58,269 --> 00:43:59,396
[grunts]
611
00:44:02,773 --> 00:44:06,107
Go on. I like this game.
612
00:44:07,011 --> 00:44:09,606
[breathes heavily]
613
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,775
- She's defiant and she does not fear me.
- Is that how Saxons are controlled?
614
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:16,621
I don't understand you.
615
00:44:16,687 --> 00:44:19,521
In Saxon lands, are people
subdued through fear?
616
00:44:19,624 --> 00:44:23,186
- Are not all people subdued by fear?
- Was this how Alfred thrived?
617
00:44:23,294 --> 00:44:25,627
- Yes.
- No! Alfred was loved!
618
00:44:25,696 --> 00:44:27,358
Look at how they honor him.
619
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:32,626
And what of your Lord Aethelred whom
you abandoned to choose a life with me?
620
00:44:33,037 --> 00:44:35,836
Aethelred was loved and feared.
621
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:38,705
Not by you. You
killed him in his bed.
622
00:44:40,044 --> 00:44:41,945
It's why he ran from Mercia.
623
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:44,983
- Is this true?
- No, why would you believe a captive girl?
624
00:44:46,184 --> 00:44:48,119
You lie worse than a child.
625
00:44:50,388 --> 00:44:53,017
So, you killed the man whom
you'd sworn allegiance to?
626
00:44:53,124 --> 00:44:55,150
I knew there was something
untrustworthy about you.
627
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:58,219
I brought you here. You
can trust me. I've proved it.
628
00:45:00,331 --> 00:45:01,959
And how should I rule here?
629
00:45:04,235 --> 00:45:05,294
By fear?
630
00:45:06,337 --> 00:45:07,464
Or by love?
631
00:45:14,412 --> 00:45:15,903
I would always choose fear.
632
00:45:22,153 --> 00:45:25,646
- [crowd yelling]
- [Eardwulf grunts] Sigtryggr, please! No.
633
00:45:27,491 --> 00:45:28,891
Sigtryggr.
634
00:45:28,993 --> 00:45:31,155
- [pants]
- [crowd shouting]
635
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:35,226
Arse-licker, did
you fall in the shit?
636
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:38,369
- [pants]
- [Dane] They cut off your tongue.
637
00:45:38,436 --> 00:45:40,371
[Eardwulf groans]
638
00:45:40,438 --> 00:45:42,839
- What did he do?
- He works to his own plan.
639
00:45:42,907 --> 00:45:45,934
We need to be of one
mind when the time comes.
640
00:45:48,179 --> 00:45:49,613
He's playing with you.
641
00:45:51,115 --> 00:45:53,949
The man is cold, but he
will make a show of mercy.
642
00:45:56,020 --> 00:45:57,420
I've come to know him.
643
00:45:58,222 --> 00:45:59,417
[Eardwulf pants]
644
00:45:59,523 --> 00:46:03,426
We take this place because
we seek a homeland!
645
00:46:04,595 --> 00:46:07,724
We work as one to
achieve this common good!
646
00:46:08,633 --> 00:46:09,896
When we fight...
647
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:14,933
we fight with one heart
to terrify the Saxons!
648
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:19,443
But we do not succumb to anger.
649
00:46:20,745 --> 00:46:26,548
And at all times we are
united, unlike our forebears...
650
00:46:28,085 --> 00:46:31,249
the men who tried and failed.
651
00:46:31,822 --> 00:46:36,157
Ubba, Bloodhair, Cnut...
652
00:46:36,927 --> 00:46:43,299
all taken in anger, as they
tried to pursue their own glory.
653
00:46:44,669 --> 00:46:48,128
This is the way of
the old generation.
654
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:51,404
And there is no
longer a place for it.
655
00:46:58,649 --> 00:46:59,673
This man...
656
00:47:01,152 --> 00:47:02,176
This man...
657
00:47:06,457 --> 00:47:09,518
is a man of ambition.
658
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:11,990
There's nothing wrong with that.
659
00:47:12,863 --> 00:47:14,525
We should all have ambition.
660
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,760
But he works only for
himself and his own desires.
661
00:47:21,972 --> 00:47:23,634
And this ambition...
662
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:27,110
is a poison...
663
00:47:27,878 --> 00:47:30,507
a poison that has
the power to seep!
664
00:47:30,614 --> 00:47:32,310
And we must not
665
00:47:32,383 --> 00:47:36,343
- let his venom spread amongst us.
- [Dane] Yes.
666
00:47:36,454 --> 00:47:40,221
So, let this man's fate
serve as a warning,
667
00:47:40,324 --> 00:47:44,386
for the danger of
anger and ambition.
668
00:47:46,397 --> 00:47:48,662
No. [breathes heavily]
669
00:47:48,733 --> 00:47:50,565
No, no, no, please,
please, please.
670
00:47:51,135 --> 00:47:52,330
I can't die, please.
671
00:47:53,070 --> 00:47:54,299
[breathes heavily]
672
00:47:54,372 --> 00:47:56,864
Please spare this repentant
sinner, God. Please!
673
00:47:56,974 --> 00:47:59,341
Forgive me for I...
[breathes heavily]
674
00:47:59,410 --> 00:48:02,676
Forgive my sins, so that my
soul can be saved, Lord God.
675
00:48:03,981 --> 00:48:05,313
[mutters incoherently]
676
00:48:05,383 --> 00:48:06,646
[Eadith] Have mercy!
677
00:48:10,354 --> 00:48:11,652
Who weeps for you?
678
00:48:12,089 --> 00:48:13,717
Who has this faith?
679
00:48:15,393 --> 00:48:16,918
She's a whore I once knew.
680
00:48:23,234 --> 00:48:26,033
She is nothing. Discard her.
681
00:48:27,571 --> 00:48:29,540
[whimpers softly]
682
00:48:36,547 --> 00:48:40,109
You dare speak against the greatest
warriors who ever walked this land?
683
00:48:44,221 --> 00:48:46,884
- Huh?
- If they were the greatest...
684
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:49,357
then where are they now?
685
00:48:56,801 --> 00:48:58,633
[Eardwulf mutters in despair]
686
00:49:01,539 --> 00:49:03,201
[grunts]
687
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:09,607
[groans and gasps]
688
00:49:12,049 --> 00:49:13,711
- [slash of sword]
- [groans]
689
00:49:24,829 --> 00:49:26,991
[sobs]
690
00:49:29,133 --> 00:49:30,431
[indistinct chattering]
691
00:49:46,250 --> 00:49:47,582
- Psst!
- [gasps]
692
00:49:48,152 --> 00:49:49,313
[breathes heavily]
693
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,179
What are you doing?
694
00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:55,318
I was asked to bring
food to the captives.
695
00:49:55,826 --> 00:49:57,852
You are almost convincing.
696
00:50:00,197 --> 00:50:01,324
I think...
697
00:50:02,166 --> 00:50:03,190
[inhales]
698
00:50:03,934 --> 00:50:05,596
you could be his sister.
699
00:50:06,770 --> 00:50:08,500
Eardwulf was not a man of lust
700
00:50:08,606 --> 00:50:10,939
and he spoke of no one
else who cared for him.
701
00:50:12,209 --> 00:50:15,509
Are you not the woman who
humped Aethelred for silver?
702
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:17,982
I do not know who you speak of.
703
00:50:20,885 --> 00:50:23,445
- Come.
- [gasps] Where are you taking me?
704
00:50:23,521 --> 00:50:25,285
Somewhere Sigtryggr
won't find you.
705
00:50:26,724 --> 00:50:29,284
You do not want to
suffer your brother's fate.
706
00:50:30,394 --> 00:50:31,794
[whimpers and pants]
707
00:50:43,908 --> 00:50:46,070
[Finan] Is that our
chance to get in?
708
00:50:47,745 --> 00:50:50,647
[Uhtred] Perhaps, if they
have more dead to bring out.
709
00:50:51,549 --> 00:50:53,916
[rumble of horses' hooves]
710
00:50:57,988 --> 00:50:59,980
Finan, move!
711
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:03,084
[yelling]
712
00:51:08,098 --> 00:51:10,033
[Dane] Send word to Sigtryggr!
713
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:13,229
[roaring and yelling]
714
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:19,934
[Edward] Charge down those
gates! Show them the face of death!
715
00:51:24,615 --> 00:51:26,243
[Finan groans in despair]
716
00:51:31,188 --> 00:51:33,089
[yelling]
717
00:51:34,258 --> 00:51:36,284
[Edward] Show them no fear!
718
00:51:36,393 --> 00:51:37,952
It makes no sense.
719
00:51:38,062 --> 00:51:39,587
[Edward] Dismount!
720
00:51:39,697 --> 00:51:41,632
Archers ready!
721
00:51:44,868 --> 00:51:47,736
Let's take back
what is rightfully ours!
722
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,371
- That way to the walls.
- [Sigtryggr] Archers.
723
00:51:55,379 --> 00:51:57,473
[yelling]
724
00:51:57,581 --> 00:52:00,050
We have to stop them, Lord,
before it gets them all killed!
725
00:52:10,427 --> 00:52:12,453
[Edward] Stain the
ground with their blood!
726
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:15,565
[men groan in pain]
727
00:52:17,267 --> 00:52:18,565
[roars]
728
00:52:25,109 --> 00:52:26,133
Pull back!
729
00:52:28,278 --> 00:52:29,803
Pull back!
730
00:52:30,514 --> 00:52:33,074
[yelling]
731
00:52:35,953 --> 00:52:38,923
Stop! Hold with your king!
732
00:52:41,425 --> 00:52:42,449
[exhales]
733
00:52:42,526 --> 00:52:47,362
Men are coming from every
corner of the Saxon kingdom!
734
00:52:48,298 --> 00:52:52,702
By dawn tomorrow,
you will be surrounded!
735
00:52:52,803 --> 00:52:58,003
Surrender now and
avoid being massacred!
736
00:52:58,108 --> 00:52:59,132
[soldier] Up shield!
737
00:53:00,210 --> 00:53:02,611
- Build the shield wall!
- [Uhtred] Move, move, move!
738
00:53:04,048 --> 00:53:05,209
Lord King!
739
00:53:06,450 --> 00:53:09,716
Lord King! Hold back.
Sigtryggr fights another way.
740
00:53:09,820 --> 00:53:11,220
We need a better plan.
741
00:53:11,321 --> 00:53:14,018
Do you surrender?
742
00:53:16,994 --> 00:53:18,053
Do nothing.
743
00:53:19,163 --> 00:53:22,361
The walls will hold. The
fool built them strong.
744
00:53:23,167 --> 00:53:25,966
Listen to me! Do not do this!
745
00:53:33,877 --> 00:53:36,346
- Attack!
- [Uhtred] No!
746
00:53:36,413 --> 00:53:39,008
[men roar]
746
00:53:40,305 --> 00:54:40,450
