[somber instrumental music playing]

00:00:10,593 --> 00:00:12,053
[indistinct chatter]
3
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:18,560
[inhales deeply and exhales]
4
00:00:20,895 --> 00:00:22,522
[Leif] Do you feel justice?
5
00:00:25,608 --> 00:00:27,902
Yes. I do.
6
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:32,157
I feel cleansed.
7
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:34,908
Good.
8
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,789
Because now they intend to kill us.
9
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:42,375
I don't believe that.
10
00:00:43,835 --> 00:00:45,587
- Father said...
- Father was wrong.
11
00:00:46,629 --> 00:00:48,882
He's a stranger to this world, Freydis.
12
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:51,426
He doesn't know
much has changed since he left.
13
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:53,094
Then I believe in Jarl Haakon.
14
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:57,682
She will not allow it. She's strong.
15
00:00:57,766 --> 00:01:00,310
She is also in a difficult position.
16
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:02,979
If she releases us, she will start a war.
17
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:08,276
Christians will burn down Kattegat
and many of her people will die.
18
00:01:09,944 --> 00:01:12,280
It's in her best interest
to have us killed.
19
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:15,784
[sobs softly]
20
00:01:17,494 --> 00:01:18,828
But regardless...
21
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:22,248
I am proud of you.
22
00:01:28,713 --> 00:01:29,798
Thank you.
23
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:32,550
[indistinct chatter]
24
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:39,265
- [Olaf] Silence!
- [chatter stops]
25
00:01:41,017 --> 00:01:45,688
Freydis Eriksdotter, you are accused
of murdering a man you claim attacked you.
26
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,440
Have you a way to prove this?
27
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:49,108
Did I put the scar on my back?
28
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:51,694
Any one of your lovers
could have done that to you!
29
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:53,113
The Gods know the truth.
30
00:01:53,196 --> 00:01:54,239
False Gods!
31
00:01:54,322 --> 00:01:55,990
- [clamoring]
- [staff thuds]
32
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:59,244
- [Gorm] There's only one false God!
- [Haakon] Silence!
33
00:01:59,327 --> 00:02:00,370
Your Christian God.
34
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:01,830
- Silence!
- [clamoring stops]
35
00:02:02,455 --> 00:02:03,456
Hmm.
36
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:09,963
In the old ways, you would be
within your rights to take revenge.
37
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:12,882
But we live in different times.
38
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,469
There are those gathered among us
39
00:02:16,553 --> 00:02:19,973
who feel that your claims
require further proof.
40
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:22,433
Can you provide it?
41
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:24,394
A trial by combat.
42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,730
If I am lying,
the Gods will not protect me.
43
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:30,358
Combat? With me?
44
00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:32,443
[all laughing]
45
00:02:33,528 --> 00:02:36,197
You are her accuser. Are you afraid?
46
00:02:36,281 --> 00:02:38,116
[laughter continues]
47
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:43,913
King Canute.
48
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,500
This woman's actions have robbed you
of a valuable part of your arsenal.
49
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:52,213
Not having Gunnar
puts the lives of everyone in this room,
50
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:54,966
Christian and Pagan, at risk.
51
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:56,301
[crowd murmuring]
52
00:02:56,384 --> 00:03:01,514
Therefore, I implore you
and the noble ruler of Kattegat
53
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,267
to acknowledge that debt
54
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,353
and make her pay for it with her life.
55
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:09,147
[crowd clamoring]
56
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:10,648
[intense music playing]
57
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:18,114
[Harald] Jarl Haakon, may I speak?
58
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:19,449
[clamoring stops]
59
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:24,913
Jarl Olaf makes an excellent argument.
60
00:03:25,955 --> 00:03:28,166
Gunnar was
an important part of our strategy,
61
00:03:28,249 --> 00:03:30,126
and his loss will indeed cause hardship.
62
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:33,796
But my brother
may have also offered a better solution.
63
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:38,635
Since this woman
cost you a vital element to our mission,
64
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:42,055
should she not be forced
to render something of equal
65
00:03:42,138 --> 00:03:44,140
if not greater value to our endeavor?
66
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:46,476
Such as?
67
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:52,065
Her brother, Leif Eriksson.
68
00:03:53,483 --> 00:03:56,569
Son of the Great Berserker, Erik The Red.
69
00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:57,570
[crowd murmuring]
70
00:03:57,654 --> 00:04:02,116
One of, if not the best
ship captain in this room.
71
00:04:02,784 --> 00:04:05,828
He piloted his ship
across open ocean from Greenland
72
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:08,581
through a storm
that killed scores of others.
73
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:13,044
I can personally attest
to his fighting skills.
74
00:04:13,127 --> 00:04:16,047
But should we doubt his motivation,
75
00:04:16,130 --> 00:04:19,968
he will be fighting
for the life... of his sister.
76
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:23,596
[indistinct chatter]
77
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:35,066
- [staff thuds]
- [chatter stops]
78
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:39,904
Leif Eriksson, I ransom
your sister to King Canute.
79
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:44,993
To repay her debt,
you must pledge service to his cause.
80
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:47,996
Do you accept these terms?
81
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:52,916
I do.
82
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:56,129
Then... it is done.
83
00:05:01,592 --> 00:05:02,593
[man] Move!
84
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:03,803
[indistinct chatter]
85
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:14,439
[opening theme music playing]
86
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:27,535
[counsellor] The King.
87
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:29,454
[exhales]
88
00:05:30,955 --> 00:05:33,624
One year ago, on my orders,
89
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:37,003
a decree was sent out
90
00:05:37,086 --> 00:05:41,049
that all Danes living
on this island be destroyed
91
00:05:42,341 --> 00:05:45,094
in a most just extermination.
92
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:48,931
On that fated day,
93
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:53,686
a group of Norse
entered this sanctuary of God
94
00:05:54,645 --> 00:05:58,441
and purposefully set fire to it,
destroying it.
95
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:05,823
And ultimately themselves
in an act of futile retribution.
96
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:12,497
Today, we witness
the resurrection of this house of worship.
97
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:17,960
Restored to its original glory
by me, Æthelred.
98
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:22,465
And by God's blessing.
99
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:24,842
[solemn instrumental music playing]
100
00:06:29,263 --> 00:06:30,890
[woman] Peace be with you, sire.
101
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:33,059
[bell tolling]
102
00:06:34,435 --> 00:06:35,645
[indistinct chatter]
103
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:40,108
[commander] Formation!
104
00:06:42,318 --> 00:06:43,486
Forward!
105
00:06:46,322 --> 00:06:47,322
[neighing]
106
00:06:51,994 --> 00:06:53,079
Align!
107
00:06:53,162 --> 00:06:54,162
[coughing]
108
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:01,838
You know something
109
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:04,924
which you are not sharing with me.
110
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:11,305
Our spies in the north say
the Vikings are preparing for an invasion.
111
00:07:11,889 --> 00:07:13,391
Damn the nobles.
112
00:07:13,474 --> 00:07:16,769
They swore the Norse were
too busy fighting among themselves
113
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:19,439
to bother with us. And I believed them.
114
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:21,774
You did what needed to be done
to keep them in line.
115
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:25,695
Yes, but it's not their heads
the Vikings will want on a pike.
116
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,281
It's mine. [grunts]
117
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:31,575
[Æthelred sighs]
118
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:33,911
She was right.
119
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,582
She knew they would come.
120
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:43,337
[indistinct chatter]
121
00:07:46,257 --> 00:07:47,800
It was my father's ship.
122
00:07:49,051 --> 00:07:51,095
It's fast and tough.
123
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:54,307
And now it's yours.
124
00:08:01,898 --> 00:08:03,357
[man 1] Ready to go to England.
125
00:08:03,941 --> 00:08:05,359
Toss me that rope then, now.
126
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,447
It's a good boat.
127
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:11,532
I'm glad you find it so,
128
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:15,369
but that is the ship I covet.
129
00:08:17,914 --> 00:08:19,874
King Harald of Norway. Mm?
130
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:22,585
Someday.
131
00:08:22,668 --> 00:08:24,629
[gripping instrumental music playing]
132
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:29,717
[man 2] Hail Canute!
133
00:08:33,262 --> 00:08:34,889
Ragnor, raise the banner.
134
00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:45,399
[people cheering]
135
00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:48,194
[horn blows]
136
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:03,709
[horn blows in distance]
137
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:07,088
If you're expecting me to thank you,
you will be disappointed.
138
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,635
You're welcome, anyway.
139
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,972
I told you what I came for
and you took advantage of me.
140
00:09:17,431 --> 00:09:19,600
Who took advantage
of whom is up for debate.
141
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:24,981
- You could have helped me.
- I could have had you killed.
142
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:26,357
And you did neither.
143
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:31,529
What kind of man does that?
144
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:35,866
A man who is amazed by you.
145
00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:44,000
So why have you come?
146
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:50,047
We may be gone
from Kattegat five months or more.
147
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:53,050
You have people to say goodbye to.
148
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:55,136
[uplifting instrumental music playing]
149
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:01,517
[Freydis chuckles]
150
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,226
[Freydis sighs]
151
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:11,235
I will make sacrifices to Odin
for your safe return.
152
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:15,156
I'll be fine.
You just take care of yourself, hmm?
153
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:29,378
[Freydis] Skarde.
154
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:37,802
I'll see you soon.
155
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:40,014
Yeah!
156
00:10:40,097 --> 00:10:41,265
[both laughing]
157
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:44,560
- Go get them, Ulf.
- [Ulf] Yes.
158
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:47,730
[Freydis] And Liv.
159
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:52,735
You take care of him.
160
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:54,569
[Liv] I will.
161
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,662
Protect each other.
162
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:04,872
You do the same.
163
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,340
[exhales]
164
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,140
Prince of Norway!
165
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:35,903
Five months is a long time.
166
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,600
So, you're Greenlanders?
167
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:11,188
- Yeah.
- Is it really as green as it sounds?
168
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:12,148
[all chuckle]
169
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:16,360
Well, absolutely.
At least two days a year.
170
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,237
[laughter]
171
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:23,117
I'm Johan. This is Tomas.
172
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:25,410
Skarde.
173
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:34,753
- Jarl Gorm.
- Harald.
174
00:12:35,296 --> 00:12:36,380
Arne.
175
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:39,758
[Gorm] So, this is the young captain
you spoke of?
176
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:40,842
Leif Eriksson.
177
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:42,636
I know your father.
178
00:12:43,304 --> 00:12:45,973
He is a brave seaman
and a strong believer.
179
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:47,224
Is he still that way?
180
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:49,852
If you know my father,
then you know that nothing changes.
181
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:50,936
Good.
182
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,771
[man] And the Lord grant us fairway.
183
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:57,818
Prince Harald, I agreed to fight
with Christians, not row with them.
184
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:04,492
Suit yourself, Jarl Gorm.
185
00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:09,079
But we're leaving
and it's a long swim to England.
186
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:12,166
[Leif] Skarde.
187
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:17,129
Skarde, put this in the back.
188
00:13:24,094 --> 00:13:25,094
Listen up!
189
00:13:25,804 --> 00:13:27,806
All knives and axes in the barrel.
190
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:30,100
No one rows with a weapon on them.
191
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:32,228
I don't give up my knife for anybody.
192
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,563
There's only one reason
to row with a weapon
193
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:37,525
and that is
to kill someone else on this boat.
194
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:40,069
Your enemy is not here.
195
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:41,487
What if he is?
196
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:45,199
Then I deal with it.
197
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:47,868
I have no enemies here.
198
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:49,954
[intense music playing]
199
00:14:00,714 --> 00:14:01,840
[man] Put the axe in.
200
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:08,639
No, I don't like it. Put it in the barrel.
201
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:11,433
Yeah, mine as well.
202
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,437
Put it in and get back to your work.
203
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,483
On your side.
204
00:14:32,955 --> 00:14:34,123
[weapons clatter]
205
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:48,637
[horn blows]
206
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:50,389
[people cheering]
207
00:14:50,472 --> 00:14:52,766
[captivating instrumental music playing]
208
00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:58,939
[horn blows]
209
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:16,999
- Row!
- [grunting]
210
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,002
[all] Yeah!
211
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,963
Yeah!
212
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:24,673
Yeah!
213
00:15:31,055 --> 00:15:33,015
[stately instrumental music playing]
214
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:37,353
[man] Make way for the Queen!
215
00:15:39,563 --> 00:15:40,606
Make way there.
216
00:15:55,996 --> 00:15:58,165
[doctor] He is not well, Your Highness.
217
00:15:58,248 --> 00:16:01,085
His cough has deepened
with his worry over the coming invasion.
218
00:16:01,877 --> 00:16:05,339
Perhaps you could
lessen his fears over the Northmen.
219
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:07,465
Thank you.
220
00:16:16,183 --> 00:16:17,935
[boy praying in Latin]
221
00:16:19,061 --> 00:16:20,229
[in English] Leave.
222
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:29,071
[counsellor] Highness.
223
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:39,373
- [boy] Amen.
- [Æthelred breathes heavily]
224
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:40,456
Get up, Edmund.
225
00:16:46,714 --> 00:16:47,714
Emma.
226
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:52,511
They are coming.
227
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:55,138
I've heard.
228
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:57,266
With Godwin's help,
229
00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,600
I...
230
00:17:01,311 --> 00:17:05,357
I have dictated terms
for you to present to them.
231
00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:10,154
They always listen to gold.
232
00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:14,450
I have no intention
of bargaining with them.
233
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:20,330
What do you intend to do?
234
00:17:21,957 --> 00:17:22,957
Fight.
235
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:26,420
I intend to send Edmund to Mercia.
236
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:28,756
On your orders he will summon
237
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:31,050
Eadric Streona
to bring his army to London.
238
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:36,096
He also will try
and take the throne from Edmund.
239
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:40,225
He will try, but not until
after the Vikings have been defeated.
240
00:17:40,309 --> 00:17:42,895
And what about your brother in Normandy?
241
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:46,273
Will he offer support?
242
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:48,734
He will not help us
until we help ourselves.
243
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:53,572
I have left you a nightmare.
244
00:17:55,032 --> 00:17:56,492
You married a Norman.
245
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,036
We create nightmares.
246
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:01,538
[indistinct shouting]
247
00:18:12,466 --> 00:18:15,427
So, is this your first Viking raid?
248
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:17,596
Are you nervous?
249
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:20,390
My father was a raider.
250
00:18:21,558 --> 00:18:23,310
He told me he was a Berserker.
251
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:28,816
That means he was
a mighty warrior and killed many men.
252
00:18:29,691 --> 00:18:30,776
Like Harald.
253
00:18:31,819 --> 00:18:33,487
Why did he go to Greenland?
254
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:36,573
Because he killed men
even when he wasn't raiding.
255
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:39,118
Have you ever killed a man before?
256
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,746
No. I've never had reason to.
257
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:49,878
The first time is sometimes difficult.
258
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:52,631
It's no different
than killing any other living thing.
259
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:55,509
A man is different. He fights back.
260
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:57,636
So does a polar bear.
261
00:18:58,345 --> 00:18:59,345
[chuckles softly]
262
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:09,857
[gripping instrumental music playing]
263
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:11,524
[man] Milord.
264
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:12,776
[indistinct chatter]
265
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:14,862
[dogs barking]
266
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:30,752
[Godwin] Your Highness.
267
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:35,966
I had no idea you were moving
the military operations into the old city?
268
00:19:36,633 --> 00:19:39,928
There's no better fortress for London
than the site the Romans chose.
269
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:42,973
I'm surprised
that it sat deserted for years.
270
00:19:43,765 --> 00:19:46,935
That is because it is thought
to be inhabited by their ghosts.
271
00:19:48,103 --> 00:19:50,397
I don't believe
ghosts can hurt me, Godwin.
272
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,817
But I do believe that Vikings can.
273
00:19:54,401 --> 00:19:55,777
[bell tolling in distance]
274
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:59,239
But concentrating our forces in the South,
275
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:02,784
where the river's tides and the marshes
provide a natural protection.
276
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:05,329
Are you sure this is a sound idea?
277
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:06,913
I am.
278
00:20:08,165 --> 00:20:11,501
Because I'm expecting
the Norse to behave exactly like you.
279
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:12,753
[Godwin] Which is how?
280
00:20:13,629 --> 00:20:14,880
To underestimate me.
281
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:20,052
Forgive me, Your Highness,
you summoned me for a reason.
282
00:20:20,135 --> 00:20:21,220
How may I be of service?
283
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:25,307
I am sending Edmund to Mercia
to enlist Eadric Streona's aid.
284
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:28,227
Streona will ask much for that favor.
285
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:30,312
Which is why
you are to accompany the prince
286
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,022
and ensure that doesn't happen.
287
00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:35,275
Your Highness, may I speak freely?
288
00:20:36,193 --> 00:20:39,529
It is no secret that you have never liked,
much less trusted me before.
289
00:20:40,197 --> 00:20:42,199
There are many others you could send.
290
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:45,160
- So why trust you with the king-to-be?
- Yes.
291
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:47,454
[Emma] Necessity creates unusual allies.
292
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:52,167
If we do not secure Mercia's help
against the Vikings, England is lost.
293
00:20:53,335 --> 00:20:56,088
If England is lost, so are we.
294
00:20:58,924 --> 00:21:00,092
I will not fail you.
295
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:01,802
[Emma] Not me.
296
00:21:02,552 --> 00:21:03,552
Us.
297
00:21:11,728 --> 00:21:14,481
It is crucial that Eadric Streona
bring his army to London
298
00:21:14,564 --> 00:21:16,191
and follow our instructions.
299
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,944
- What if he sets conditions for this aid?
- Refuse.
300
00:21:19,027 --> 00:21:21,780
Do not allow yourself
to be drawn into a negotiation.
301
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:23,115
But what if he insists?
302
00:21:23,198 --> 00:21:25,909
You're not making
a plea for help, Your Highness.
303
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:28,537
You're relaying an order
from your father, the King.
304
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:30,580
Listen to Godwin.
305
00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:33,083
[intense music playing]
306
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:40,048
[Edmund grunts]
307
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,515
Father won't be alive
when I return, will he?
308
00:21:48,598 --> 00:21:49,725
No.
309
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,644
When you return, you will be king.
310
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:57,899
But unless you are successful,
you will not have a long rule.
311
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,904
Open the gates.
312
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:03,988
[gates open]
313
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:06,575
[horse huffing]
314
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,708
[music intensifies]
315
00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:19,046
[indistinct chatter]
316
00:22:20,255 --> 00:22:22,758
[Canute] Show me what you mean, Jarl Olaf.
317
00:22:23,592 --> 00:22:25,719
[Olaf] Since the Romans
first built the city,
318
00:22:25,802 --> 00:22:29,056
the bridge has been of vital importance.
319
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:30,640
It connects everything
320
00:22:30,724 --> 00:22:34,478
and provides a way to escape
should pressure be brought from the north.
321
00:22:34,561 --> 00:22:36,605
Then we should bring it down?
322
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:37,773
Not possible.
323
00:22:38,398 --> 00:22:40,817
When I was King Æthelred's advisor,
I made sure of that.
324
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:45,906
No, if we are to crush London,
we do what Vikings have never done.
325
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:49,076
We attack from the south.
326
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:52,621
There's a reason
it's never been done, brother.
327
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:54,706
The south is nothing but marsh.
328
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:58,418
- Which is why Æthelred won't expect it.
- How do you know that?
329
00:23:00,587 --> 00:23:03,507
Because I'm the one
who convinced him it was impossible.
330
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:06,885
- [horn blowing]
- [man] Secure!
331
00:23:08,595 --> 00:23:09,930
[thunder rumbling]
332
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,140
[indistinct chatter]
333
00:23:21,608 --> 00:23:22,943
[thunderclap]
334
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:27,197
- Lower the sail.
- Lower the sail!
335
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:32,368
[Arne laughs]
336
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,999
Watch out, Christian.
Maybe you should pray to be more careful.
337
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:41,169
- You tripped him on purpose.
- I did not.
338
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,546
I saw you.
339
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:45,549
Are you calling me a liar? Huh?
340
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,261
Come here and tell me that. Huh?
341
00:23:49,344 --> 00:23:52,180
Sit down and row.
342
00:23:58,019 --> 00:23:59,813
Do you have a problem with my order?
343
00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:01,273
[chuckles] I'm fine.
344
00:24:04,442 --> 00:24:08,113
I thought you were a follower
of the old Gods, like your father.
345
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:09,364
I am.
346
00:24:09,447 --> 00:24:12,909
Then why take the word
of a Christian over my own son?
347
00:24:12,993 --> 00:24:15,120
Because your son is a liar, Jarl Gorm.
348
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:20,000
You should hold on.
It's about to get rough.
349
00:24:21,501 --> 00:24:23,003
Row into it!
350
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:24,379
[indistinct chatter]
351
00:24:24,462 --> 00:24:26,298
[cheerful folk music playing]
352
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,427
[woman] Hello, Jarl Haakon.
353
00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:36,099
You are looking
to burn a sacrifice for a loved one?
354
00:24:36,183 --> 00:24:37,309
My brother.
355
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:39,811
He's on one of the ships.
356
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,689
[woman] This is a special one.
357
00:24:43,773 --> 00:24:46,902
It is made from the branch
of a sacred tree in Uppsala.
358
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:51,823
Yggdrasil?
359
00:24:51,907 --> 00:24:54,159
The World Tree is not in Uppsala.
360
00:24:55,076 --> 00:24:58,663
This is probably taken
from the tree outside Odin's temple.
361
00:24:58,747 --> 00:25:01,499
It is green summer and winter.
362
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,752
And blessed by the priests there.
363
00:25:10,967 --> 00:25:12,344
But I have no money.
364
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:15,847
I will trade you for your bracelet.
365
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,559
What about my necklace?
366
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:22,270
Yeah.
367
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:35,116
[Freydis] Why do you sell those?
368
00:25:36,701 --> 00:25:39,454
I sell whatever soothes the soul.
369
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:41,790
Are you a Christian?
370
00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:44,000
[woman] I was born in the old ways.
371
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,920
But I am whatever I have to be today.
372
00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:49,505
Thank you.
373
00:25:53,051 --> 00:25:56,513
Viking people
have travelled more than most.
374
00:25:57,389 --> 00:26:01,810
We raided, yes, but we traded too.
375
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:06,564
Kattegat is the beneficiary of that trade.
376
00:26:07,607 --> 00:26:12,487
You will experience different people
and beliefs here like nowhere else.
377
00:26:14,155 --> 00:26:16,533
And you are not
threatened by those beliefs?
378
00:26:18,493 --> 00:26:19,493
Look at me.
379
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:24,207
My grandmother came
from a great African family.
380
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:29,296
My grandfather fell in love with her
in Alexandria and brought her here.
381
00:26:29,879 --> 00:26:32,382
Their child, my father,
382
00:26:33,174 --> 00:26:35,385
became an even greater warrior,
383
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:40,223
and now I am the ruler of Kattegat.
384
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:44,936
All things are possible
if our minds are open.
385
00:26:48,857 --> 00:26:50,567
[mystical music playing]
386
00:26:51,568 --> 00:26:53,320
[Freydis praying in Old Norse]
387
00:27:11,546 --> 00:27:14,591
[Haakon in English] Your faith
is very strong, Freydis.
388
00:27:17,177 --> 00:27:22,390
I am sure Ægir and Ran
will watch over your brother and friends.
389
00:27:23,058 --> 00:27:24,184
I'm sure they will.
390
00:27:25,643 --> 00:27:28,980
There are a few today
as pure in their beliefs as you.
391
00:27:31,691 --> 00:27:32,901
It is all I know.
392
00:27:34,569 --> 00:27:36,738
My husband was trading in Trömsa
393
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:40,450
when his ship was stopped by Christians.
394
00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:43,828
My husband was very devout, like you.
395
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:48,583
When they found that he and his men
were believers of the old ways,
396
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,628
he was ordered to convert.
397
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:53,380
He refused.
398
00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:56,508
The Christians decided
to make him an example
399
00:27:56,591 --> 00:27:58,343
and torture him in front of his men,
400
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:04,349
in hopes that his suffering would
encourage them to change their beliefs.
401
00:28:05,725 --> 00:28:07,394
[breathes deeply]
402
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:10,146
It had the opposite effect.
403
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:14,484
One by one,
404
00:28:16,444 --> 00:28:17,862
they killed them all.
405
00:28:28,998 --> 00:28:32,001
I am sorry my offering
has brought back such memories.
406
00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:38,758
Change is happening, and we must be ready.
407
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:04,074
[Godwin] Your Highness?
408
00:29:07,203 --> 00:29:08,203
Are you all right?
409
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:12,459
I wasn't supposed to be here.
410
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,462
- Sire?
- [Edmund] My brothers were.
411
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:19,591
I didn't think that they would both die
and it would happen this way.
412
00:29:24,345 --> 00:29:25,972
I'm not king material.
413
00:29:28,349 --> 00:29:30,643
- How do you know?
- What?
414
00:29:31,644 --> 00:29:34,689
How do you know you're not the king
England needs at this moment?
415
00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:38,151
The fact that I voiced my doubts
416
00:29:38,234 --> 00:29:40,528
should be evidence enough
of my inadequacy.
417
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:44,282
[gulps]
418
00:29:44,365 --> 00:29:46,159
It's been my experience
419
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:49,996
that those who never
acknowledge their doubts are charlatans.
420
00:29:51,748 --> 00:29:55,418
I believe that a search of one's soul
is a sign of strength, not weakness.
421
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:58,546
Facing doubts or fears
is the first step in courage.
422
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:01,966
What's your greatest fear? [sniffs]
423
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:04,009
Failure.
424
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:07,722
It is paralyzing.
425
00:30:08,515 --> 00:30:10,308
Do you trust your instincts?
426
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:12,768
I think so.
427
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:17,732
If so, there will come a day when
your fear of failure will be overwhelmed
428
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:20,235
by an instinct to act.
429
00:30:21,569 --> 00:30:22,612
To survive.
430
00:30:23,196 --> 00:30:25,949
If you listen to it, you will succeed.
431
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:32,747
Good night, Your Highness.
432
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:41,798
[gripping instrumental music playing]
433
00:30:41,881 --> 00:30:43,675
[indistinct shouting]
434
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,556
See you in England, friends.
435
00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:53,476
So, no sign of your Greenlander?
436
00:30:54,894 --> 00:31:00,358
Maybe you should make an offering to Ægir
for your boat's safe return. [chuckles]
437
00:31:00,441 --> 00:31:03,152
Do you ever get tired
of saying stupid things?
438
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:08,074
Like letting my brother know
when he makes a mistake? No. Never.
439
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:09,993
[laughs boisterously]
440
00:31:13,913 --> 00:31:15,665
- [Olaf grunts]
- [boat creaking]
441
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:28,344
What do you see in this Greenlander
that makes you trust him?
442
00:31:28,428 --> 00:31:31,306
I don't know. Maybe his courage.
443
00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:36,686
Courage is not rare here.
444
00:31:38,104 --> 00:31:39,104
His is.
445
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:43,526
It doesn't come from speeches
or pounding of shields.
446
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:47,572
It comes from belief
in his own ability and nothing else.
447
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:51,701
In my experience, that is rare.
448
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:57,624
[horses huffing]
449
00:32:06,382 --> 00:32:07,382
[Streona] Ironside,
450
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,179
Boneless, Bloodaxe,
451
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:14,057
such great names.
452
00:32:14,891 --> 00:32:15,891
[Streona chuckles]
453
00:32:16,643 --> 00:32:19,187
You know what they all
have in common, Your Highness?
454
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:21,647
They're dead.
455
00:32:26,903 --> 00:32:30,782
Tell your father I can give him
5,000 men and 1,000 horses,
456
00:32:30,865 --> 00:32:33,534
but it would be a mistake
to send them to London.
457
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:34,618
Why so?
458
00:32:35,078 --> 00:32:37,372
Mercians have been
fighting the Vikings for 200 years
459
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:38,998
and we've learned a great many things.
460
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:42,335
I have no doubt
that London is Canute's target,
461
00:32:42,418 --> 00:32:46,756
but he'll attack the city from the north,
which means he'll march through Mercia.
462
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:50,385
To defeat him in London,
you must first stop him here.
463
00:32:52,887 --> 00:32:54,764
That is not what the Queen Emma believes.
464
00:32:56,224 --> 00:32:58,101
She believes
the Vikings will attack elsewhere.
465
00:32:59,018 --> 00:33:00,018
Queen Emma?
466
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,399
Is your father not well?
467
00:33:05,191 --> 00:33:09,320
The King is in excellent health,
but his wife, as you know, is a Norman.
468
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:12,365
What better person to plan
the defense of a Viking attack
469
00:33:12,448 --> 00:33:14,867
than a descendant of Rollo himself.
470
00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:18,204
Godwin.
471
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:21,666
I knew a noble named Godwin from Sussex.
472
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:24,668
My father.
473
00:33:25,253 --> 00:33:28,214
If I'm not mistaken,
it didn't end well for him, did it?
474
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:32,176
You're not talking to my father,
you're talking to me.
475
00:33:39,392 --> 00:33:43,396
- The King knows exactly what he's doing.
- [Streona] You think so?
476
00:33:44,063 --> 00:33:46,774
[clicks tongue] It doesn't
sound like that to me.
477
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:49,402
It sounds like he has no plan
478
00:33:49,485 --> 00:33:52,739
and has placed England's future
in the hands of a foreign queen,
479
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:58,202
a boy prince, and an advisor
whose father destroyed his family name.
480
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:00,788
[Edmund] Then do nothing.
481
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:02,373
[intense music playing]
482
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:07,545
Do nothing, Eadric Streona,
if that is your decision.
483
00:34:08,963 --> 00:34:13,926
But be willing to stand by it
because, one day, I will be king,
484
00:34:15,511 --> 00:34:18,431
and I can promise
that I will remember both your doubt
485
00:34:18,514 --> 00:34:21,559
and your decision to refuse an order.
486
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:29,567
Who said that I would not obey
a summons from the King?
487
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:34,155
Tell your father and your stepmother,
488
00:34:36,282 --> 00:34:39,660
that Mercia will be there, as ordered.
489
00:34:54,967 --> 00:34:56,552
[music intensifies]
490
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,811
[people chanting in Latin]
491
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,562
[wind howling]
492
00:35:11,234 --> 00:35:12,985
[chanting continues]
493
00:35:19,742 --> 00:35:21,828
[ominous music playing]
494
00:35:42,682 --> 00:35:44,267
[in English] We're lost, aren't we?
495
00:35:45,601 --> 00:35:48,479
You've never been to England,
and you've lost us.
496
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:50,898
- We're not lost.
- [Gorm] Liar!
497
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:56,112
This is your fault and the fault of
all the Christians and their false God.
498
00:35:56,195 --> 00:35:58,197
The Gods are laughing at us right now.
499
00:35:58,281 --> 00:35:59,615
Shut up, heathen.
500
00:36:01,284 --> 00:36:03,953
- What did you say to me?
- I said, shut up.
501
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:06,914
You sound like a frightened child.
502
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,960
- [Leif] Stop!
- [laughs]
503
00:36:11,043 --> 00:36:12,128
Stop rowing.
504
00:36:14,213 --> 00:36:17,383
What do you see
that makes you believe that we are lost?
505
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:18,718
What do I see?
506
00:36:20,261 --> 00:36:22,013
No land!
507
00:36:22,096 --> 00:36:24,223
See, that is where
you and I are different.
508
00:36:25,141 --> 00:36:27,226
The sky tells me we are headed west.
509
00:36:27,894 --> 00:36:29,395
Auks and gannets flying high
510
00:36:29,478 --> 00:36:33,316
tell me the weather is improving
and we're near land.
511
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:39,947
Then where are the other boats?
512
00:36:40,781 --> 00:36:44,160
The other boats are not my responsibility.
513
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:48,372
This boat, the one you are on,
514
00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:52,668
is my responsibility.
515
00:36:55,963 --> 00:36:59,050
For all you know,
the other boats are lost, not ours.
516
00:36:59,759 --> 00:37:02,595
Now, we continue!
517
00:37:03,471 --> 00:37:04,805
Oars out and row!
518
00:37:06,182 --> 00:37:12,063
And, Jarl Gorm, stop blaming
the Christians for your fears. Hmm?
519
00:37:14,774 --> 00:37:16,943
[laughing]
520
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,696
[Gorm grunts]
521
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:22,657
- [gasps]
- [intense music playing]
522
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:23,991
[Skarde] What are you doing?
523
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:25,618
The Christians have cursed us!
524
00:37:25,701 --> 00:37:28,287
- They all must die!
- Birger.
525
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:31,666
[Liv panting]
526
00:37:31,749 --> 00:37:33,084
I'm taking over the boat.
527
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:36,337
- [Leif] Let them go! Now!
- Get the weapons.
528
00:37:37,421 --> 00:37:39,966
- Let them go!
- Or what, Greenlander?
529
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:41,717
You're going to kill me?
530
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:46,013
I'm not a bear. And you are not a Viking.
531
00:37:47,306 --> 00:37:50,851
I don't think you have
the stomach to kill me.
532
00:37:53,479 --> 00:37:55,523
A polar bear thinks
the same thing before he dies.
533
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:57,233
[both grunting]
534
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:06,867
[Gorm groans]
535
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:09,578
When I pull this out, you will be dead.
536
00:38:10,329 --> 00:38:13,249
Before I do, tell your men what you see.
537
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:16,752
Tell them.
538
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,630
[straining] England.
539
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:21,090
[Gorm thuds]
540
00:38:23,092 --> 00:38:24,176
Who's next?
541
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:29,348
[Edmund] What did Streona mean
542
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:32,476
when he called your father
the destroyer of your family name?
543
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,103
[Godwin] My father was an Ealdorman.
544
00:38:34,186 --> 00:38:36,647
When I was your age,
he took 24 of the king's ships
545
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:38,357
and used them for his own greed.
546
00:38:39,191 --> 00:38:41,277
For that act,
he was stripped of his lands,
547
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,072
his wealth, and his title,
and was imprisoned until his death.
548
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:49,577
How is it then, that you are now
one of my father's closest advisors?
549
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:53,164
Because he never blamed me
for my father's failure.
550
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:56,709
And I provide him with something
he cannot get from his nobles.
551
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:58,377
Which is?
552
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:01,589
The truth, Your Highness.
553
00:39:06,135 --> 00:39:08,721
[bells tolling in distance]
554
00:39:11,223 --> 00:39:14,101
Listen. What does that mean?
555
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:18,105
It means you are now our ruler.
556
00:39:19,315 --> 00:39:21,275
All hail King Edmund.
557
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:25,654
[all] All hail King Edmund.
All hail King Edmund.
558
00:39:25,738 --> 00:39:29,450
[Godwin] God bless the King.
And God bless England.
559
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:32,953
[all] God bless the King.
God bless England.
560
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,663
Now comes the hard part.
561
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:41,712
[footsteps approaching]
562
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:43,464
[mystical music playing]
563
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,098
Why have you returned my knife?
564
00:39:52,973 --> 00:39:54,850
You will need it for your pilgrimage.
565
00:39:55,393 --> 00:39:59,480
I'm sending you to Uppsala
to seek your destiny.
566
00:40:02,274 --> 00:40:03,274
[sheathes knife]
567
00:40:03,317 --> 00:40:04,819
I don't understand.
568
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:07,905
Uppsala is the most sacred site
in our Viking world.
569
00:40:08,614 --> 00:40:09,907
Everything there is holy.
570
00:40:10,866 --> 00:40:14,370
Every nine years we make sacrifices there
to the Gods that protect us.
571
00:40:14,995 --> 00:40:17,748
And you, who have travelled so far,
572
00:40:17,832 --> 00:40:22,753
you must go there and see it for yourself
before the Christian tide washes it away.
573
00:40:24,713 --> 00:40:26,257
Is that really possible?
574
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:30,386
Some say that Ragnarök,
the Twilight of the Gods,
575
00:40:30,469 --> 00:40:32,388
will happen within our lifetime.
576
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:34,807
And you believe that?
577
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:40,020
I believe we must be ready.
578
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:42,189
[gripping instrumental music playing]
579
00:40:50,573 --> 00:40:51,657
[horses neighing]
580
00:41:03,085 --> 00:41:04,795
[indistinct shouting]
581
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:16,390
Sound the horn.
582
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:18,976
[horn blowing]
583
00:41:37,578 --> 00:41:39,413
[intense music playing]
584
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:23,248
Viking.
585
00:42:24,416 --> 00:42:26,168
[Leif breathing heavily]
586
00:42:35,177 --> 00:42:37,054
