[folk pop music playing]

00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,720
[Finan] For a hundred years,
there was chaos in our lands.
8
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,720
War between Saxons and Dane invaders.
9
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,680
And war between men
who wanted to be kings.
10
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,200
My lord, Uhtred, son of Uhtred,
born a Saxon, but raised a Dane,
11
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,920
had brought about a fragile peace.
12
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,040
But as King Edward's health faltered,
13
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,160
trouble spread.
14
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,920
And while most of the country
was sworn to the Saxons,
15
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,240
Uhtred's land of Northumbria was not.
16
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,200
And enemies were keen to exploit this.
17
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:06,840
Wolf!
18
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Wolf! [grunts] Wolf!
19
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,400
[screams]
20
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Destroy the settlement.
Leave no sign we have landed.
21
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,400
[snarls]

00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,320

24
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,280
[grunting]
25
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,480
[warrior] Anlaf, we have the spy.
26
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,240
[chuckles]
27
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Behold my child.
28
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,280
Behold the daughter of Anlaf.
29
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,440
You look ridiculous.
30
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,120
It is how they dress, Father.
31
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,840
If I'm to hide amongst them,
I must appear--
32
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,600
Is King Edward dead?
33
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Not yet.
34
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
-But each breath could be his last.
-Then we chose our moment.
35
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080
A king dies,
Saxons always turn on each other.
36
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Pass this news to all kings who hate them.
37
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Tell them I have crossed from Irland
and wish to make allies.
38
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Return yourself to Winchester.
39
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Wait.
40
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,240
Play with them.
41
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Unleash chaos.
42
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,480
[whispering prayers]
43
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760

-[murmuring]
-[bell tolls]
45
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,080
[guard] No. Stay back.
46
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,720
[soldier] Find the queen!
47
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,920
[door slams]
48
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,680
[Aldhelm] Lady Eadgifu,
49
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,680
the traitor Aelfweard has sent men to take
you and Prince Edmund into protection.
50
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,600
[swords scrape]
51
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,560
I have no wish to be a hostage.
52
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360
-Can we fight them?
-Not without Aethelstan.
53
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Well, surely, my guards can--
54
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,360
Loyalties are shifting
and factions forming.
55
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,200
It is not certain who supports us.
56
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,120
We should flee with your son
whilst we can.
57
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,480
[Eadgifu] I will not forgive this.
58
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,480
Nor forgive Aethelstan
for leaving us exposed.
59
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360
Damn him for his absence.
60
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Come, Edmund. We are leaving.
61
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,840
-[soldier 1] Where's the queen?
-[soldier 2] Move! Look everywhere!
62
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,840
-[Edmund] Mother, what's--
-[Eadgifu] Sh. Quiet.
63
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,880
-Wait.
-[footsteps approaching]
64
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120
-[Eadgifu] Pyrlig.
-[Pyrlig] We got word.
65
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840
Aethelstan has gone on pilgrimage
to pray for his father's health.
66
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,040
Then find him and tell him of his death.
67
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Then strike him, from me,
for he swore to protect us.
68
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,200
[Aldhelm grunts] Come. There's no time.
69
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,920
[sword rings]
70
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,400
[Pyrlig] Where will you go?
71
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,680
-To Uhtred.
-The pagan?
72
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,680
-[soldier] They're in here!
-[Aldhelm] Go! Go!
73
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,800
[grunting]
74
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,000
[Eadgifu] Uhtred betrayed my husband.
75
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,240
Are we sure this is wise?
76
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,360
Uhtred was like a father to Aethelstan.
He can be trusted.
77
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,640
We go to the last kingdom.
78
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,680
[ethereal music playing]
79
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,680
[jolly chatter]
80
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,600
[Finan] He stood in front of the army,
and he said, "Release the arrows!"
81
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,840
And an arrow went right through his head.
82
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,200
[laughter]
83
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,080
[Finan] Oh, that was something.
84
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,440
But then, the battle for this place
certainly sticks in the memory.
85
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,000
-Both times.
-[Finan] Hey. Cnut.
86
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,680
He was a proper… cock!
87
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,840
Then there were the horse-killers.
Oh, they were deadly.
88
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,440
-What was his name?
-Bloodhair.
89
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Bloodhair. And what was her name?
She of the curses?
90
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,800
Do not remind me. [belches] Skade!
91
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,800
Now, she was moon touched.
92
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,880
Another one who thought she was a seer.
It didn't go well for her.
93
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,160
I am telling you, my dream was a prophecy.
Three nights I have had it.
94
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,880
-And what is your dream, Ingrith?
-[Finan] Don't get her started, Lord.
95
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,520
-Hear my words. "Seven kings must die."
-[man] Lord?
96
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,920
-Seven kings and--
-Ingrith!
97
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,480
[dark music playing]
98
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,000
All stand for the queen!
99
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Queen Eadgifu.
100
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,520
And my most noble friend, Lord Aldhelm.
101
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,800
What brings you this far north?
102
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,760
I come seeking refuge with my son.
103
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,400
Edward, rightful king of these lands,
has died.
104
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,720
Then my heart grieves.
105
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,080
I'd hoped to reconcile.
106
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,680
One down, six to go.
107
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,440
No! I do not like it.
108
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Northumbria recognizes the new king,
Aethelstan.
109
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Do not assume Aethelstan will be king.
110
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,480
-Who is supporting Aelfweard?
-[Aldhelm] The ealdormen of Wessex.
111
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Of course.
Still claiming Aethelstan's a bastard?
112
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,120
Yes. Aelfweard has
the wealth of Wiltunscir behind him.
113
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Our spies in Aegelesburg say he's there,
openly recruiting mercenaries.
114
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,440
We will go to Aegelesburg and seize him
before he is at full force.
115
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,200
We would prefer your guard.
116
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,880
My offer gives Aethelstan the time
to go to Winchester to be crowned,
117
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,400
and we avoid a clash of armies.
118
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,280
I swore an oath to protect Aethelstan--
119
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840
And of course, you are a man of your word.
120
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,680
Yet your oath to swear your lands
to the king remains unfulfilled.
121
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,440
Your husband showed himself
hostile to those of Danish blood.
122
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,320
As such, he was not the right man
to unite England.
123
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240
If he had been, England would be united.
124
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
[Aldhelm] But now things can be different.
125
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,040
Aethelstan can be the king
to fulfill the Saxon dream.
126
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,480
If he chooses to swear--
127
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,360
I swore an oath of loyalty, and it stands.
128
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:22,720
If Aelfweard is buying mercenaries,
he will be looking for men from all parts.
129
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Do you think
we can still execute an ambush?
130
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,200
If it is for Aethelstan, then yes.
131
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360
-If he does not fall asleep.
-Once. I fell asleep once.
132
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,920
Are you certain this is better
than a band of young fighters?
133
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160
I hear you do little these days
but feast and hunt.
134
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,640
I will not send young men
to do a task I swore to do myself.
135
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400
[disconcerting music playing]
136
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,240
-[horse whinnies]
-[Finan] Come on, you little…
137
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,600
Come on! Come on.
138
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:05,680
-[horse whinnies]
-[Finan] Stop it now.
139
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,960
Osbert! What news from our borders?
Do the Scots behave themselves?
140
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Yes, Father. There are rumors
Wolf-Warriors landed near Derwent.
141
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680
-Wolf-Warriors?
-Why are you carrying your sword?
142
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240
We're riding
to protect Aethelstan from his brother.
143
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,240
Then I will come.
144
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,240
-Any fight of yours is mine.
-Stay here and protect your birthright.
145
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,600
No good comes
of sitting waiting for a birthright.
146
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,040
So you train the horses
147
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880
and you teach that boy
how to defend himself.
148
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
No one likes the third son of a dead king.
149
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,080
Father.
150
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,760
-Will you swear our lands to Aethelstan?
-I must honor my word.
151
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,120
Northumbrians will be sad
to lose their pagan lord.
152
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,480
-[Finan grunts]
-[horse whinnies]
153
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:49,480
[Finan] Gotcha!
154
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800
-Look at this little bastard.
-Are we ready?
155
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,920
[Sihtric] He's complaining
about his saddle.
156
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,720
-Says his arse gets sore.
-[Finan] Didn't say arse. I said my back.
157
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,840
[Ingrith] I made you this.
158
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,240
[scoffs]
159
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240
And one for each of you.
160
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,560
Men who sit on cold earth
find the cold earth calls for them.
161
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Once again, she shows herself a seer.
162
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,880
Lord, it was nothing.
163
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Tell it again.
164
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,120
"Seven kings must die," Lord.
165
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,000
-"Seven kings--"
-Ingrith, no.
166
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,920
Go on.
167
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,600
"And the woman you love."
168
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,920
I'm no king, and I have no woman.
169
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,920
-It means nothing.
-[Aldhelm] Lord Uhtred.
170
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,600
I told my son to train yours.
171
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560
While you are here,
take Wassa as your serving woman.
172
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,480
-Make this fortress your home.
-I wish to say one thing of Aethelstan.
173
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,240
He is not quite
the carefree boy you raised.
174
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600
He has grown very much into his faith.
175
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,480
The Brotherhood of Oswald
exert great influence.
176
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,880
I have scared off such men before.
For some reason, monks find me terrifying.
177
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160
[foreboding music playing]
178
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,800
-[Uhtred] Let's go play kingmaker.
-[Finan] Once again.
179
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,400
[Aethelstan] My father?
No, that cannot be.
180
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,680
I thought God had given him the winter.
181
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,520
[Pyrlig] Lord Aethelstan, you should
make haste to Wessex for coronation.
182
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,800
Your brother gathers men.
183
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Establish yourself at Winchester
before he raises an army.
184
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,560
We will leave when God commands us
to leave, Father Pyrlig.
185
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,760
And that command has not been given.
186
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Return when you have prayed.
187
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,760
[Aethelstan] Do I depart?
188
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,080
[Ingilmundr] Only the book has answers.
189
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,120
Play.
190
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:52,400
You have been guided
to the Book of Matthew, verse 157.
191
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,760
"Then Jesus went thence and departed
into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon."
192
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,440
God wants you to fight.
193
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,520
Oh. Thank you, lady.
194
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040
[sentry] Halt. State your business here.
195
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,440
We heard a man is looking for fighters.
196
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,680
We come to make some coin.
197
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,040
[sentry] Mm.
198
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,360
Go on.
199
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,840
-This place has fallen to shit.
-[Uhtred] Edward left it to decline.
200
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160
I'm glad Aethelflaed
is not here to see it.
201
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,680
[chatter]
202
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,320
Huh.
203
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,840
Word has spread.
204
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,160
[Sihtric] I swear
I've fought half these men.
205
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,200
[Finan] This is not someone
trying to recruit.
206
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,840
This is preparing for a battle.
207
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,520
[Uhtred] That is the youth Aelfweard.
208
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Go see what men know of his plans.
209
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,440
[man] I'll show you a sword!
210
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,600
[teen] Oh!
211
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,720
Ooh.
212
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,120
-Is that amber in your sword?
-How much do you want for it?
213
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640
[groans]
214
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,600
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.
215
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,520
[groans]
216
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,400
-[Uhtred] Go home to your mothers.
-[teen 2] Edgar! No.
217
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,600
Wilfrid!
218
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,040
Wilfrid!
219
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680
Do you speak to me, friend?
220
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Your pardon. I thought you were Wilfrid.
221
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,840
A great man I fought with at Tettenhall.
222
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,120
Wait, you were at Tettenhall?
223
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,680
My father was there.
224
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,640
-Who do you fight for now?
-Aelf… something?
225
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,320
-Saxon names are much alike.
-The Aelf who marches on Wessex?
226
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,080
You haven't heard.
227
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,320
No one's marching on Wessex.
228
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,920
I'm told the new plan
is to lure Aethelstan here.
229
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,040
Aethelstan is on his way.
230
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,920
Aelfweard challenged him to battle,
and he's accepted.
231
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Why would he agree to that?
232
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Because he's young,
and they've baited him.
233
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,120
They plan to snare him between the gate
and men hidden in the hills.
234
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,880
Then we take control before he arrives.
235
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,280
We can't seize this town
with just us, Lord.
236
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,640
We do not need to seize the town.
237
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
[eerie music playing]
238
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,000
[Finan snores]
239
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,480
[grunts]
240
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,840
[Finan] Hey! Can I tempt you
to play for money, friend?
241
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,560
-[sword rings]
-[grunting]
242
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,960
[Uhtred] Tie them up and secure the bolt.
Stay low until Aethelstan arrives.
243
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,280
[Finan] If there's a bed, it's mine.
244
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,360
[birds singing]
245
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,840
[eerie music continues]
246
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
[Finan snores]
247
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,480
[Uhtred] He's here.
248
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,160
[guard in distance] Raise the alarm!
Soldiers approach the southern gate!
249
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,120
[Aelfweard] Come no further!
Aegelesburg is loyal to me now.
250
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560
We do not negotiate with bastards.
251
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,920
Nor do we surrender.
252
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080
-You'll have to starve us out.
-I am not foolish, brother.
253
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,400
I assumed you would place a trap.
254
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,520
Perhaps delay me here until your forces
could attack at rearguard.
255
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,960
Show him what's left of his men!
256
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,720
[grunting]
257
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,000
[Aethelstan] You can yield now,
258
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,200
or we destroy the gate
and kill all your men.
259
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,800
The gates will hold. No yield will come.
260
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,760
[Aethelstan] Then you will be destroyed.
261
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Get ready to open the door.
262
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,880
[Aelfweard] I am the rightful king.
Your mother was a whore.
263
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840
All good men know it. You have no allies.
264
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,640
Lord Aelfweard.
265
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,480
-I'm Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
-Uhtred.
266
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,920
[Uhtred] You know me
as a man who speaks the truth,
267
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,800
so hear me when I say,
for the common good, stand down.
268
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,520
My men control the gate.
You're outnumbered on all sides.
269
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,480
Yield.
270
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,040
Let this end with peace.
271
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,320
[Aethelstan] Give yourself to me, brother.
272
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,240
Then it is over.
273
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,120
[somber music playing]
274
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Forgive me for my failings,
275
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,240
and give comfort to my mother's kin.
276
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,200
Tell them of my exile
277
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,160
and how we sought
to honor our discarded bloodline.
278
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,960
-For Wessex!
-[men] For Wessex!
279
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,880
Lord Uhtred,
280
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:21,120
open the gate.
281
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,760
-[slicing]
-[Aelfweard grunts]
282
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040
-No!
-[Aethelstan] God chose me rightful heir.
283
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:58,000
[squelches]
284
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,640
[Uhtred] Aethelstan!
285
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,920
[Aelfweard groans]
286
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,440
[men shout]
287
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,360
[intense music playing]
288
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,480
Advance!
289
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,000
[shouting]
290
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,720
Leave no enemy alive!
291
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,280
[commotion]
292
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,840
[Finan] Lord, stop this madness!
293
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,080
[Uhtred] Stop!
294
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,600
[grunting, groaning]
295
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,560
[Uhtred] Aethelstan!
296
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,960
[grunting]
297
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,120
[Sihtric] Get back! Hide!
298
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,560
-[mercenary] I submit! Please don't--
-[grunts]
299
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,000
Aethelstan!
300
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,960
[mercenary] Please, show mercy!
301
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,960
[Uhtred] No!
302
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,840
Stop! They're surrendering!
303
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,360
Aethelstan!
304
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,920
-Aethelsta--
-[high-pitched ringing]
305
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,040
-[muffled cries]
-[Uhtred grunts]
306
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,160
Ah!
307
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,160
-Ah!
-[ringing fades]
308
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,800
[man] Lord! Lord, help us!
309
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,960
Aethelstan!
310
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Aethelstan!
311
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,480
-Stand down your men.
-[Aethelstan] Uhtred, why are you here?
312
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,480
[Uhtred] To stop this.
Your enemy has surrendered.
313
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,760
Halt your men.
314
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,120
-Let him approach and call a halt.
-[guard] Yes, my lord.
315
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,880
-What happened to you?
-What happened to you?
316
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,280
-You had no need to kill your brother.
-I did, or in time, he would return.
317
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:27,880
-You dishonored your word.
-I did not.
318
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440
I told him to yield.
I did not say he would survive.
319
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,800
It was never our plan to let him live.
Lord, reverse the order.
320
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,320
We are close to routing them.
321
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,720
-Hired men have no quarrel with you.
-You were right not to seek his help.
322
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,320
You kill 100 fathers,
you give 300 sons a reason to defy you.
323
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,320
Think!
324
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,760
Now's the time to unify.
325
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Uhtred may be right in this matter.
326
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,560
I speak only as a man
who has made mistakes before.
327
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,240
-I'm Uhtred of--
-I know who you are.
328
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,120
[Aethelstan]
Uhtred, this is Lord Ingilmundr.
329
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,640
A great commander
and a great friend to me.
330
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,160
Then a friend to me.
331
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,400
Why the Danish name?
332
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,160
Born to a Dane, but raised a Saxon.
333
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,160
I found Christ
through the works of Alfred,
334
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
and indeed through the writings
of your son in Rome.
335
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,080
You must be proud of him.
336
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,080
He is a true scholar.
337
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,240
I'm just the fool who made him.
338
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,320
Ingilmundr holds the garrison
at Thelwael on the Wirral.
339
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,320
He knows many of the people
we knew from Rumcofa.
340
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,400
Good people.
I should like to see them again.
341
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,920
[Ingilmundr] Yes. Perhaps after
you've sworn Northumbria to the new king.

00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680
It is not the gossips
you should fear, Lady.
518
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,400
This peace may not sustain.
519
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:19,200
Lord Uhtred has snubbed the king.
520
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,440
The women Uhtred has affection for
become a target for his enemies.
521
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,360
-[Uhtred] Sihtric!
-Sh-sh.
522
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,800
[Uhtred] What have you learnt?
523
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,520
Aethelstan has claimed Eoferwic.
524
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,280
He says since Rognvaldr is dead,
there is no king, so it belongs to him.
525
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,720
Eoferwic?
526
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:48,240
They see me as their lord now.
Aethelstan knows this.
527
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,080
He is demanding all come with tribute.
528
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,720
Not just Saxon chiefs,
but all kings of Britain.
529
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,480
All the mainland
and all the outlying islands.
530
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,040
Lord?
531
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Declare yourself king here.
532
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,560
Like your forebears.
533
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,680
No. This is Aethelstan.
534
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,120
If he chooses the wrong path,
I must tell him.
535
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,720
[Sihtric] Lord.
536
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,080
[foreboding music playing]
537
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,560
"There went out a decree
that all the world should be taxed."
538
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,200
You owe no tribute!
Return to your villages.
539
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,320
-Uhtred! Calm yourself.
-Pyrlig? What is this tribute?
540
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,240
He says it is to build churches,
but, please, there are spies everywhere.
541
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Tell your arseling apprentice
he's badly misjudged the mood of Scotland.
542
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,880
You seem upset.
543
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,640
We came to renew our treaty.
544
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,920
Instead, we've been left waiting for days,
only to be told we are supplicants.
545
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,240
I would be careful.
546
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,280
We've had other offers of alliance.
547
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,120
-Why is Aethelstan doing this?
-He says to unite Christians.
548
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,040
And in his prayers,
he talks much of atonement.
549
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,400
Atonement? For what?
550
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,400
The death of his brother,
the bastardy of his parentage?
551
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,240
I do not know.
552
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Lord Aldhelm and I try daily to dissuade,
553
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,960
but there is talk of conquest
and forced baptism.
554
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400
-Where is he?
-The Devil's Stones.
555
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,440
He thinks he fights the devil.
556
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,600
[Uhtred] This is madness. Aldhelm.
557
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,480
These stones have stood for generations.
558
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,800
They are an insult to God, apparently.
559
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,000
Is that Owain, King of Strathclyde?
560
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,520
[Aldhelm]
Aethelstan wanted him to witness it.
561
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,280
They were built by his forebears.
562
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,200
He is seeking to humiliate powerful men?
563
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,880
[Uhtred] King Hywel.
564
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,360
He dares ask submission from Wealas?
565
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,160
After all you did for Mercia?
566
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,040
What choice do I have, Uhtred?
567
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,400
He took my son to Winchester.
568
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,520
-He is keeping your son hostage?
-You take the son, you take a future king.
569
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,640
-Now I am forced to follow his bidding.
-I will tell him this cannot stand.
570
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,440
King Hywel, I swear,
Wealas's faithfulness will not be spat on.
571
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,280
Our poets spoke this.
572
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,800
That a Saxon would break us all
to build their country.
573
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,040
This is not just a Saxon country.
574
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,200
Aldhelm, get me close to him.
I will stop this.
575
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:05,840
[guard] Halt. Stay back.
576
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,640
[Aldhelm] Step aside!
The king requested Uhtred speak with him.
577
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,280
King Aethelstan!
578
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:30,320
[Uhtred] Lord King,
579
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,840
let me speak with you alone.
580
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,040
[Uhtred] You should not
have stepped on my land.
581
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,520
You should not have broken your word,
humiliated me,
582
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,160
as you humiliated my father.
583
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:51,880
I'm trying to make you see
you're on the wrong path.
584
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,560
-You do the bidding of Ingilmundr--
-I do the bidding of the Lord.
585
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,920
Do you really seek to convert Danes?
586
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,480
-Did I teach you nothing of respect?
-Many Danes welcome the Lord.
587
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,000
-Those in my court thank me for it.
-Many do not wish it, and you know this.
588
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,560
Aethelstan, you've always known it.
589
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,200
-Even Alfred respected this.
-I have more to atone for than Alfred.
590
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,640
Who tells you this? Ingilmundr?
591
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,480
Does he tell you
you are damned without his guidance?
592
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,800
For I've seen before men under the spell
of those who claim to know the gods.
593
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,840
He has been a great friend to me.
594
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,960
Aethelstan, hump who you wish,
595
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,840
but do not fall under the influence
of those who seek power--
596
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,520
Who makes such vicious claim against me?
597
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,560
-No one.
-Who tells such lies?
598
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,400
-It has not been talked of.
-Lord Aldhelm, does he spy for…
599
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,640
What has been said,
by who, and for how long?
600
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:43,520
No one has said anything.
I care not for that, but for you.
601
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,200
Aethelstan, you are a kind man,
but you are tenderhearted,
602
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,160
and Ingilmundr is seeking power
for himself and for his brotherhood.
603
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,640
Lies. Lies and ignominy.
604
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,080
There's no ignominy.
He just turns you from your kin.
605
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,920
And you are turned from your king!
606
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,280
You seek to be one yourself.
607
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,760
Lord, they consecrate the ground
608
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,040
and would request you
to give the blessing.
609
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:07,920
Yes, of course.
610
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,440
Let us leave the King of Northumbria
to think on his errors.
611
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,240
I have no dream to be a king.
612
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,120
Only to protect you.
613
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,520
Like you ran to protect him in Aegelesburg
and ended up being beaten by boys?
614
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,240
Should he really take counsel from a man
who loses his sword to a child?
615
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,880
Northumbria needs a lord
with lust for battle.
616
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,720
There are rumors Anlaf has arrived
and will come Viking.
617
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,240
Do not think he will spare you
just because you follow the same gods.
618
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,880
Keep him here a night
and make him swear at dawn.
619
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:55,840
In time, you will come
begging for his help.
620
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,240
As all fathers fall,
621
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,200
and all sons take their place.
622
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,120
[disconcerting music playing]
623
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:20,400
Sh.
624
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,120
Lord Ingilmundr has declared you
an enemy of God
625
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,040
to incite his followers to kill you.
626
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,720
Aethelstan would not allow it.
627
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,920
Which is why Ingilmundr
seeks to keep his hands clean of it
628
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,200
and has left the camp.
629
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:39,080
To go where?
630
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:43,600
[Aldhelm] This way.
631
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,320
Go up and around. There's no guard.
632
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,000
Him. That is the man.
633
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,880
What did you speak of with the pagan?
634
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,640
[agitated music builds]
635
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,480
[sentry] Horsemen approach!
636
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,720
[Osbert] Stay back from my gates
and tell me who you are.
637
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,000
Lord Ingilmundr,
and I come at Lord Uhtred's request.
638
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,240
He's delayed in Eoferwic
as he renews his vow to the king.
639
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,360
He asked I help protect you.
640
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,800
Protect from what?
641
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,040
There is a rumor of Wolf-Warriors
landed near Derwent.
642
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,000
[guard] Open the gate! Open the gate!
643
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,040
-[tense music builds]
-[birds singing]
644
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,920
[music fades]
645
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,520
Do not give the order.
646
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:03,800
Think on all we have shared.
647
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,000
You're lost from yourself, Aethelstan.
648
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,480
We fought together--
649
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,000
And despite this, you drip poison
against me and plot with Uhtred.
650
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:12,960
-No.
-Yes.
651
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,280
-No.
-Yes!
652
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,160
You turned your back, Aldhelm.
653
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Now I turn mine.
654
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,040
[haunting vocal music playing]
655
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,160
[prays in Latin]

00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,320
[breathes shakily]
657

[rope tightens]
658
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,160
[Eadgifu] Lord Ingilmundr,
659
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:29,920
you bring welcome news
of Lord Uhtred's supplication.
660
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Will you journey south with me
to let me bear witness to it?
661
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,040
Lady, we have ridden hard to get here.
At least let us rest a day or so.
662
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,680
Oh, but I have been trapped in Bebbanburg
a good while.
663
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,800
Believe me, you do not want to find
yourself here longer than intended.
664
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,080
[horse grunts softly]
665
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,120
-They've been warned!
-[Finan] Now!
666
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,120
[grunting]
667
00:46:55,240 --> 00:46:56,920
We overtook you on the road.
668
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,640
Whatever power you hold over Aethelstan,
669
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,320
today it ends.
670
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,520
[Ingilmundr grunts] My sword!
671
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:05,920
[groans]
672
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,480
[Uhtred chuckles]
673
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,360
You still believe in Valhalla!
674
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,680
Aethelstan cares for you.
I will not divide us further.
675
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:14,840
Put him below.
676
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,360
Christians amongst you, defend me!
Who is your Lord?
677
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,040
Lord Uhtred or the Lord Jesus Christ?
678
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,760
The people of Bebbanburg
will not be divided by faith.
679
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:23,800
Rise up, you fools!
680
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,640
Tell the king the terms of his release.
681
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:29,800
He makes peace with Northumbria
and guarantees the border.
682
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,680
-No one is forced to follow his god.
-Yes, Lord.
683
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Quite a price.
684
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,680
-Will Aethelstan agree?
-[Uhtred] Let us hope so.
685
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,400
He seems to discard his friends
rather quickly now.
686
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,160
[discordant music playing]
687
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,360
[Ingilmundr] Truly, you bless
an unworthy soul.
688
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,840
[water drips]
689
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,880
-May God reward your kindness.
-Amen.
690
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,520
[determined music playing]
691
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,640
[Anlaf] Aethelstan turns
against his friends.
692
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,760
Succumbs to a wild dream
to be a monarch for all your land.
693
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,560
In time, he will come for you, Shetland.
694
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,560
You, Orkney.
695
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,680
He will take what belonged
to your forebears and call it Britain.
696
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,440
[Shetland] No.
697
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,280
He barely sets his foot upon the water.
Saxon country folk.
698
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,240
We can repel them.
699
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,200
I'm not talking of repelling,
but of meeting conquest with conquest.
700
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,760
[Domnal] Scotland rejects your offer.
701
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,760
We cannot join with pagans
to attack a man who's not threatened us.
702
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,440
Christians do not choose war.
703
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:38,960
War is coming.
704
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,120
You only have to choose a side.
705
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,040
[whispering]
706
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,920
[Ingilmundr] God be with you.
707
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,080
-[gentle music playing]
-[birds singing]
708
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,360
[rustling]
709
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,760
[Wassa] The stone was rolled away,
as in the scripture.
710
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,680
It can only be the work of an angel.
711
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,440
This way, Lord.
Come and see the treasures.
712
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,360
[Sihtric] Lord!
713
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,200
What word from Eoferwic?
714
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,760
Does he accept my terms?
715
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,440
I have no news.
716
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,520
Aethelstan is said
to have returned to Winchester.
717
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Well, let us take it as a good sign.
718
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,680
Perhaps without his shadow,
Aethelstan sees more clearly.
719
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,120
[Sihtric] What trouble
brings you out here?
720
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,360
[Finan] The villagers were
hunting for pagan silver.
721
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,200
Now they're saying it's a miracle.
722
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,800
[Wassa] Make way
for the King of Northumbria.
723
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:03,200
I told you.
724
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,200
They think of you as a king.
725
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,520
[Finan] Do you think
they hope to keep half for themselves?
726
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,800
[Sihtric] They likely took it
from Bebbanburg in the first place.
727
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,240
[man] You are detained
in the name of King Aethelstan.
728
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:18,240
[Finan] Lord.
729
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,120
[sinister music builds]
730
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,520
We've been lured here.
731
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,240
You think?
732
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,400
[Wassa] Lord, I'm sorry!
733
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:29,840
I'm sorry, Lord.
734
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,600
The prisoner told me I had to,
or I'd burn in the fires of hell.
735
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:03,920
I will never order to open the gates.
736
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,440
[man] Really?
737
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,360
A gift from the king.
738
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:14,640
Oh.
739
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,480
Aethelstan did this?
740
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,200
It's what he does to traitors.
741
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,560
Open the gates or I slaughter your father.
742
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,120
Comply and he will be spared.
743
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,160
Do not open.
744
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,000
-I can kill him in front of you.
-Do not open!
745
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,000
-The choice is yours.
-[Uhtred] Osbert! Do not open!
746
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,440
In your absence, Father, I command here.
747
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,040
And I command that we open.
748
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,800
-No!
-[Sihtric] No, no, no!
749
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:53,680
[guard] Drop your sword.
750
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:55,600
Move.
751
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:56,880
No.
752
00:52:59,000 --> 00:52:59,960
Where is Aethelstan?
753
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,600
In time.
754
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:04,800
Bring me the Lady Eadgifu.
755
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:06,760
Come. [grunts]
756
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,120
[Eadgifu] I can walk.
757
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:13,920
[Eadgifu] Go on.
758
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,080
Kill me.
759
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,640
[Ingilmundr] You are to be placed
in the community on Lindisfarne
760
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:19,920
to protect your virtue.
761
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,720
[grunts softly]
762
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,160
Did you hump the heathen, Lady?
763
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:27,720
Confess.
764
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:30,880
I confess
765
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,160
to have prayed
for your excruciating death.
766
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,960
A no, then. You should have tried
when you had the chance.
767
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,360
We're taking your son to my garrison
768
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,600
at Thelwael
where he will be trained for battle.
769
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:44,840
No. No. Please.
770
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,560
-[guard] Move!
-Your son also.
771
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,680
[Eadgifu] No.
Edmund is the blood of Alfred.
772
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,000
He should not be fodder for a shield wall!
Please!
773
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,960
-[Osbert] I will take care of him.
-Please!
774
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:54,680
[Eadgifu gasps breathlessly]
775
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,320
The son of Uhtred stands for Wessex.
776
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,560
[grunts]
777
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:00,360
Ah.
778
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,400
[Finan] Hey! Hey!
779
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:03,120
Whoa.
780
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,200
You, we have a plan for.
781
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,920
-[Uhtred] Am I to be drowned in the sea?
-[Ingilmundr] I never quite know his mind.
782
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,760
[Uhtred] Do not punish
those in Bebbanburg.
783
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,560
-His fight is with me.
-His fight is elsewhere.
784
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,880
How lucky we have found ourselves
so close to the Scottish border.
785
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,600
No, do not invade Scotland.
You will lose hundreds of men.
786
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,240
And unleash a war for generations.
787
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,600
The king has no successor to fear for.
It makes him strong.
788
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,880
Do whatever you must to protect our sons.
Do not fight him. Just capitulate.
789
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,280
Anything else is foolish.
790
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,840
-Aldhelm never betrayed you.
-All of you betrayed me.
791
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,280
All those I thought as friends.
792
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:51,000
Swear now, before Bebbanburg,
and I will spare your life.
793
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,200
-No.
-Then you leave me with no choice.
794
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:57,640
[sword rings]
795
00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:00,040
-[shrill chords droning]
-[bass drum pounding]
796
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,000
Aethelstan.
797
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,240
[music building]
798
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,160
I cannot.
799
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,840
-Let me offer my--
-No.
800
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:23,960
Take everything from him.
801
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,680
I banish you from my lands
to travel the earth and seas alone.
802
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,960
On pain of murder of your son.
803
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,720
Let none feed or clothe him,
lest become my enemy.
804
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:51,920
Go.
805
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,880
Before this mercy vanishes.
806
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,520
[music builds dramatically]
807
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,160
[Hywel] Turn back. There is still time.
808
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,440
The Scots are no threat.
809
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,360
This will damn you, Lord King.
810
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,280
[screaming]
811
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,320
[Hywel] To save us from the pagans
can be a just endeavor.
812
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,800
But to turn on other Christians
is ungodly.
813
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,000
[yelling]
814
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,480
[breathes raggedly]
815
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,120
[Hywel] Your men do not want this fight.
816
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,320
[Aethelstan] Well, perhaps
I need better men.
817
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,360
Perhaps I should summon your son.
818
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:12,160
Lord King!
819
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,320
Aethelstan has attacked settlements
in the lowlands.
820
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,640
He cannot raid us without reply.
821
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,360
Do I tell Anlaf you are ready
to meet with him and the other kings?
822
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,000
[yelling]
823
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,640
[shaky panting]
824
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,200
[erratic buzzing]
825
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:55,320
[grunts]
826
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,480
Uhtred the Daneslayer.
827
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,280
You killed my cousin Gelf
at the battle of Beamfleot.
828
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,120
[echoes] …the battle of Beamfleot.
829
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:04,640
Send word we have found him.
830
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,840
I hated Gelf.
831
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,360
[echoes] Gelf, Gelf…
832
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:10,720
Take him to the king.
833
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,720
[Uhtred] Where are you taking me?
834
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,720
[woman] To the very north
of these islands.
835
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,800
[rhythmic music playing]
836
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,560
[pained singing]
837
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,640
[commotion]
838
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,360
-[Uhtred] What do you give thanks for?
-For the great battle to come.
839
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,080
Tell the jarl we're here
with the King of Northumbria.
840
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,280
[warrior grunts]
841
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,320
[shouting]
842
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,520
-[Uhtred] All folk of Shetland?
-[woman] Some of Man and Orkney join us.
843
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,120
With their kings. [chuckles]
844
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,120
[whooping]
845
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,880
[talking softly]
846
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,400
[Anlaf] Is this who they claim?
847
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,160
The King of Northumbria?
848
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,520
[Constantin] Aye, it's him.
849
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,840
-I am no king.
-[Anlaf] No.
850
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,280
But you could be.
851
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,000
Sit. You are amongst friends.
852
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,120
[Uhtred] You join with pagans?
853
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,680
Aethelstan has taken an axe to the truce.
854
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,080
A truce you brokered.
855
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,520
What he has done
in the villages of the lowlands--
856
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,800
-Is it worse than his cruelty in Irland?
-Tales to spread fear.
857
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,920
[Constantin] We had no choice
but to defend ourselves.
858
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:02,880
We did not start this.
859
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,680
-How did you find me? Who's your spy?
-We have many spies. We know many things.
860
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,000
[Constantin] We know
Aethelstan has banished you.
861
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,080
And we know he gets humped like a woman.
862
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,880
That may be customary to you pagans,
863
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,920
but as a Christian, it cannot be endured.
864
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,560
-He endures it often, from what I hear.
-So…
865
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,560
As a man who shares our enemy,
866
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,120
we ask you to join with us, Uhtred,
in our alliance.
867
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,800
Stand against the tyrant.
868
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:33,440
I'm heartsick of battles.
869
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,120
What has become of the warrior?
Do you no longer yearn for Valhalla?
870
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,240
Do you know the prophecy, Uhtred?
871
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,400
The ancient prophecy of my people?
872
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,440
All of Britain
will unite against the Saxons,
873
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,320
push them into the Kentish sea,
874
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,160
return the feals to the line of Arthur.
875
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,360
[Anlaf] There.
876
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,400
The vision of an old man.
877
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,960
-So it must be true.
-We Northumbrians also have a prophecy.
878
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,080
"Seven kings must die."
879
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:07,720
That holds no fear.
880
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,280
Each man here has a son to take his place.
881
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:11,920
[Owain] Seven kings die,
882
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,680
seven will, in that moment, be made.
883
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:15,800
[Anlaf] It's true.
884
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,800
If you make a child,
your kingdom stands beyond you.
885
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,080
A kingdom ravaged by war, yes.
886
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,160
[Constantin] Then there is another way
887
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:24,840
to consider.
888
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,640
If you wish to save many from bloodshed.
889
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,000
Kill one man only.
890
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,520
Kill the king who has attacked us all.
891
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,440
Return to him in… supplication.
892
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,160
Seize the moment.
893
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:46,240
Save many lives by simply taking one.
894
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,480
[Anlaf] The alternative,
of course, is war.
895
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,240
Seven kings against one.
896
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,120
If Aethelstan wanted to unite
the tribes of Britain,
897
01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,120
he has succeeded.
898
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:03,760
[triumphant music playing]
899
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,920
[Anlaf] Why do you seek us here?
900
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,040
Your part is to keep Winchester aroused.
901
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,160
You let Uhtred go free. Why?
902
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,000
I sent him away.
903
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,080
To kill your friend, the king.
904
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,080
-Well, he will be killed in the attempt.
-[woman chuckles]
905
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,920
Uhtred has skills you do not.
906
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,240
He attacks Aethelstan.
Aethelstan attacks him.
907
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,480
It barely matters.
908
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,880
Either way, we face in battle
men whose spirits have been broken.
909
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,880
Ingilmundr, go to the West.
The time is near.
910
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,600
Astrid, watch our friends in Northumbria.
911
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,680
[ominous music playing]
912
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:08,040
[door opens]
913
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,520
[footsteps approach]
914
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,200
[Aethelstan] I did not think
I would see you again.
915
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:38,920
Lord King.
916
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,520
In the name of my son, I beg forgiveness.
917
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:46,680
Spare him.
918
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:49,400
Let me kneel to you.
919
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:57,520
[sighs]
920
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:00,360
Then I lift your banishment.
921
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,640
Give me a sword and then leave us.
922
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,040
Go on, then.
923
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:30,680
Do it.
924
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,560
I swear this on my son's life.
925
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,400
Hear this as an oath.
926
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:20,520
Ingilmundr is a spy.
927
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,000
He's working with Anlaf
to ally British kings against you.
928
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,320
-Lies.
-It is true. I saw him in Shetland.
929
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,240
He told Anlaf's warriors to track me.
They tried to turn me--
930
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:30,800
No! [grunts]
931
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:34,560
-He is in Thelwael with your son!
-He told them things of you.
932
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:35,520
[grunting]
933
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,520
He still follows my gods.
934
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:40,480
[sword clatters]
935
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,880
For now, you have an advantage.
936
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,640
Ingilmundr does not know
he has been discovered.
937
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,040
[Aethelstan] No, he would not betray me.
938
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:54,720
If anything, I have betrayed him.
939
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,400
-No.
-He is a man of God, and I am a sinner!
940
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,800
He has convinced you of this
to provoke your campaign.
941
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,640
-To unite your enemies.
-No!
942
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,800
Aethelstan, please see this. This alliance
he has gathered is too large.
943
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,320
-Your lands will be overrun.
-No! You lie!
944
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:11,520
This is all lies!
945
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,440
Aethelstan, please hear me.
946
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:18,680
Why would I lie to you?
947
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,320
-Get out.
-Aethelstan--
948
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,840
Get out. Get from my sight! Guards!
949
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,320
-[door opens]
-Take him!
950
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:25,440
[grunting]
951
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,600
[breathes heavily]
952
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:36,520
Ah!
953
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,640
[guard] You dog! On your way.
954
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,320
[Sihtric] We search every forest,
every valley.
955
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,320
[Finan] And here he is,
back in the lap of luxury.
956
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:48,360
We heard you needed us.
957
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,560
Truly the gods smiled at me
to give me such friends.
958
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,960
[Finan] Let's find ourselves an alehouse,
959
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,440
make a plan.
960
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,520
-Who told you I was here?
-[Sihtric] She said you called for us.
961
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,920
-Did you not send for us, Lord?
-She said you needed us.
962
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,040
And requested a guard.
963
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,240
Danish girl, serves in Aethelstan's court.
964
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,480
Finan, I sent no word.
965
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,400
No command for you to leave Bebbanburg.
966
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,120
[unsettling music playing]
967
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,360
-[Sihtric] Stay here and guard the gates.
-[man] Yes, Lord.
968
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:32,520
[Uhtred] Wolf-Warriors.
969
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:56,680
[Uhtred] This is Anlaf's doing.
970
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:02,480
[Finan] Ingrith!
971
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,480
[breathes shakily]
972
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,600
[Sihtric] Lord, where are they all?
973
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,520
[breathes shakily]
974
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:31,560
-[Uhtred] Eadgifu?
-Uhtred.
975
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,040
What happened?
976
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,480
[Eadgifu] When news reached us
of the attack and torture here,
977
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,880
the abbess sent us to help the injured.
978
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,280
But we cannot get to the injured.
979
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,240
Where… Where is she? Where's my wife?
980
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:02,600
"Seven kings must die," Lord.
981
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,400
"Seven kings
982
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:06,520
and the woman you love."
983
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,000
Ingrith!
984
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,960
-No. Ingrith!
-Every man is to help move it.
985
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,120
You, up above.
986
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,880
-[Finan] Can anyone hear me?
-[Uhtred] Watch for signs of Anlaf's men.
987
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,440
We tried to help,
but all we could do was comfort them.
988
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,280
Uhtred, Ingrith said
they threatened to return.
989
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,400
-We must secure ourselves.
-Not until we rescue those within.
990
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:29,720
When did you speak last?
991
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:31,880
About three days ago.
992
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,520
-[Finan] Get the rope up there!
-[man grunts]
993
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:38,640
[Finan] Come on!
994
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,000
[melancholy choral music playing]
995
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:41,960
[Finan] Pull!
996
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,080
[straining]
997
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:45,280
[Finan] Pull!
998
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:48,280
Pull!
999
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,040
[straining]
1000
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:54,960
Pull!
1001
01:09:58,600 --> 01:09:59,520
Now!
1002
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:14,600
Finan.
1003
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:21,440
Where is…
1004
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:29,160
[in anguish] No!
1005
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,240
[choral music continues]
1006
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,720
[Uhtred] I brought this on them.
1007
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,240
What they suffered is on Anlaf's account.
1008
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,520
You cannot let this break you.
1009
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:38,400
We are broken.
1010
01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:40,640
We have no allies. We're lost.
1011
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:44,200
Then we must find the courage
to defend Northumbria from their return.
1012
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,720
If we endure and keep them at siege,
1013
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,960
we will give those
in other parts of England time to prepare.
1014
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,080
Whatever we suffer
1015
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:55,600
protects those we are apart from.
1016
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:56,960
[Sihtric] She's right, Lord.
1017
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,240
Osbert can cross the Irish Sea, get to--
1018
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:00,280
The Irish Sea?
1019
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:07,560
We must find the fastest horses. I think
Anlaf is hoping to turn all eyes here.
1020
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,040
To lure Aethelstan.
1021
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:16,560
But they will land where they have men.
Ingilmundr holds a garrison in the Wirral.
1022
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,000
With… With our sons.
1023
01:12:21,440 --> 01:12:23,440
[frenetic music playing]
1024
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,320
[blows horn]
1025
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:12,040
[Osbert] Something's underway.
1026
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,080
[men chat]
1027
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:15,480
[man 1] I'm ready.
1028
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:16,560
[man 2] Take care.
1029
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,640
-[men shouting]
-[Osbert] Get in the cart.
1030
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:23,080
Those of you with swords to your throats
face a decision.
1031
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,840
A thousand ships
are heading towards these shores.
1032
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:28,840
Some have already landed.
1033
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,680
Within a week,
Saxon boroughs will be overrun.
1034
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,680
Join us and fight the tyrant Aethelstan,
1035
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:38,400
or die.
1036
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:40,360
[soldier grunts]
1037
01:13:40,440 --> 01:13:41,600
For King Ed--
1038
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,440
-[blows landing]
-[swords scraping]
1039
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,280
-[Osbert] Keep still.
-[man] This way!
1040
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:09,920
[woman] Yes, sir. I believe so.
1041
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,800
We saw them, but they got away.
1042
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,200
-There. Far away.
-Thank you.
1043
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:19,520
[woman] Yes, my lord.
1044
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:22,280
[Sihtric] No word from Thelwael, Lord.
1045
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:23,880
[woman] Told them all I knew.
1046
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:28,800
Sihtric.
1047
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:30,600
Lord?
1048
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,360
Do we finally face defeat?
1049
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,480
All the warrior kings that I've known,
Ubba, Cnut, Bloodhair,
1050
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,120
all have faced defeat in the end
and have taken others with them.
1051
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,480
The fight was always coming, Lord.
No warrior dies a peaceful death.
1052
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,760
She saw it all. "Seven kings must die."
1053
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:58,800
We have hope.
1054
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,000
In your heart,
you never wanted to be a king.
1055
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,320
[Eadgifu] Have those fleeing
heard anything of my son?
1056
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,160
Then until I know for sure,
1057
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:25,400
he is alive.
1058
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:32,640
And if conquest is easy, perhaps
Anlaf may be satisfied with Mercia.
1059
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,520
-It is fertile--
-[Uhtred] He will not be satisfied.
1060
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,640
They come Viking now
to extinguish an idea of England.
1061
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,200
A dream unites a people
who once sought to kill each other.
1062
01:15:46,480 --> 01:15:49,520
Without it, we go back
into an age of darkness.
1063
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,600
[solemn music playing]
1064
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,240
We have both lost so much.
1065
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:00,600
But I ask myself…
1066
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:05,120
am I alive?
1067
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:11,080
Can you feel it?
1068
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:14,600
[Uhtred] You are alive.
1069
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:19,080
So are you.
1070
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:23,960
So we have hope.
1071
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,240
[tense music builds]
1072
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:47,040
[Uhtred] Edmund?
1073
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:49,520
Osbert?
1074
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:52,240
[Eadgifu] Edmund?
1075
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:11,440
[jarring piano chord plays]
1076
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,120
I came seeking Ingilmundr.
1077
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,920
To prove that you had lied to me.
1078
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:23,760
But you had not.
1079
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,920
[Uhtred] We came to search for our sons.
1080
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:42,920
Bring out Osbert and Edmund.
1081
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:44,880
[jarring chord plays]
1082
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,400
[music pounding]
1083
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,880
[Eadgifu gasps, sobs]
1084
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:01,600
[Uhtred] Osbert!
1085
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,560
[Aethelstan] They hid themselves
and were spared the massacre.
1086
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:07,800
[Eadgifu] Lord King,
1087
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,120
you have my endless gratitude.
1088
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,960
[Aethelstan] I've not been myself
this past year, and truly,
1089
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:15,000
truly, I…
1090
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:16,840
I pay for my sins.
1091
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:22,280
I face a great alliance at Brunanburh.
1092
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,160
All regret is worthless.
1093
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,480
Let us speak only of the fight to come.
1094
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,720
-Osbert, what have you learnt?
-They've set up camp on high ground.
1095
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,280
And they have six armies.
1096
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:36,960
Then seven armies
shall meet at Brunanburh.
1097
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,040
I do not want you to fight for me, Uhtred.
1098
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:41,440
-[Uhtred] Trust I'm on your side--
-I know that.
1099
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,280
Save yourself.
1100
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,840
Take your son to safety.
1101
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:53,800
If I do not survive the battle,
then succession will be secure.
1102
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:55,440
You cannot fight this alliance alone.
1103
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,560
[Aethelstan] Yet I forbid you
from taking part.
1104
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,360
Take him, Father Pyrlig.
Please, take them all.
1105
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,720
-I've dragged you all to this fate.
-[Uhtred] Let us serve you.
1106
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:06,280
Aethelstan…
1107
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,200
this is not a punishment.
1108
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,200
I think we both know that it is.
1109
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:16,640
[Uhtred] This is martyrdom.
1110
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,400
He will not survive so great a number.
1111
01:19:19,480 --> 01:19:21,480
But we have been reprieved.
1112
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,400
-God is telling us to get to safety.
-Your god does not speak to me.
1113
01:19:26,480 --> 01:19:29,440
It is not cowardly
to spurn a battle that cannot be won.
1114
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:30,560
It is.
1115
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,200
However this prevails, I will have to know
I walked away from danger.
1116
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,640
Your battles will come
1117
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:38,440
when you become king.
1118
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,600
King of where, Mother?
1119
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,720
-We will fight with the shield wall.
-No.
1120
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,640
-Osbert, are you ready?
-I've always been ready.
1121
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,640
Pyrlig, you once told me
that it was my destiny to save England.
1122
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,480
Hadn't seen it quite like this,
but then I'm not one for prophecies.
1123
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,240
[Eadgifu] What if your destiny
is to protect Edmund?
1124
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,760
Perhaps he is the one to unite England.
He could be the king who was worthy.
1125
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,720
No king will form England.
1126
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:05,600
This is what I see now.
1127
01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:10,280
Not Edmund or Edward or Alfred.
Not even Aethelstan.
1128
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,920
Alfred's dream was of a united people.
1129
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,840
And with these men,
from all parts, I fought for it.
1130
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,240
What if our destiny
was not to form England,
1131
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:24,520
but to form the English as one force?
1132
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,680
Who better than a half Saxon, half Dane
to lead men from divided places?
1133
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:32,120
[Uhtred] We go!
1134
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,240
I don't have to call myself English, do I?
1135
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,760
[harsh music playing]
1136

[music fades]
1141
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,400
To hear that,
you'd think they'd won already.
1142

-[trees rustling]
-[distant animals calling]
1143

[metal scraping]
1144
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:40,360
[Uhtred] We should make our way.
1145
01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:43,160
If this is to work,
we need to be on the front line.
1146
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,040
-We'll aim for their left side.
-Why?
1147
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:53,040
Why the left?
1148
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,600
Weaker. Most men fight
with the sword in their right hand.
1149
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,240
I've fought with Uhtred many times.
Trust he will find a way.
1150
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:02,680
You.
1151
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,120
Where did you find that?
1152
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,760
I bought it in Aegelesburg
for five pieces.
1153
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:11,560
May I?
1154
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,600
I will exchange it for this one.
1155
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:40,120
It is worth much more,
and it has a garnet.
1156
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,280
When I say exchange, I mean
you take that one, and I keep this one.
1157
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,120
[Uhtred] I am no commander of yours.
1158
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,960
I have no authority other than being
a man who has fought in many battles.
1159
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:57,400
Some of you I have led before.
1160
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,240
Today I stand with you
as a simple soldier.
1161
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,640
But I ask that, on the field,
1162
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,840
you once again let me guide you.
1163
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,080
Our position on the hill is weak,
1164
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,800
but the trees to our left give us
an advantage the enemy will not see.
1165
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:17,520
We can defeat them
1166
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:19,800
if we stay united.

-This is one way to clear the ale.
-Smell of a thousand armpits.
1171
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,240
[Finan] Aye.
Maybe they smelled us and ran away.
1172
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,840
-[Sihtric] Maybe.
-[Finan] Who touched my arse?

Uhtred.
1183
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,760
-How do we face this?
-You see these bags?
1184
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,000
Give them to the men
on the front line. Go.
1185
01:25:05,480 --> 01:25:07,560
[yelling]
1186
01:25:08,440 --> 01:25:10,680
[Uhtred] Do not raise your shield
until you have to.
1187
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,240
Stay at ease. Stay relaxed.
1188
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,520
-And do not show them we are unsettled.
-[Finan] Lord!
1189
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,240
He's here.
1190
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,040
[Anlaf] Here he comes. The tyrant himself.
1191
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:38,880
[Uhtred] Is it done?
1192
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,280
-Get back as far as you can.
-Yeah.
1193
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,560
[commander] Shield wall!
1194

-Are we ready, arselings?
-[soldiers] Yeah!
1198
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:35,240
I have taken their confessions.
1199
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:37,840
When I ask you to give ground,
1200
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:39,880
do it.
1201
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,960
When you see the trees in front of you,
it will be time.
1202
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:44,320
Do you think this will work?
1203
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,760
If it does not,
we will not be here to see it.
1204
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:50,640
Trust me.
1205
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:52,640
And follow.
1206
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:54,960

Back!
1213
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:16,480
They retreat?
1214
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:18,960
Even before we engage?
1215
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:22,320
-Step back!
-[Anlaf] They know they have lost already.
1216

I thank God,
who I serve with pure conscience.

God hath not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power…

-Two paces! One pace!
-Mm-hmm.
1236
01:29:08,480 --> 01:29:10,720
-On my command!
-[Finan] Let's hope this works!
1237
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,160
Two paces back!
1238
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:13,080
Back!
1239
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:15,400
Step back!
1240
01:29:15,480 --> 01:29:16,720
One pace back!
1241
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,720
[Anlaf] They back off. We have them.
1242
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,160

01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:29,360

1245
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:42,600
Step back!
1246
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,400
[Sihtric] Go backwards!
1247
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,640
For Shetland!
1248
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:49,080
For Orkney!
1249
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:53,600
Step back!
1250
01:30:00,440 --> 01:30:02,360
-Keep going!
-Keep going!
1251
01:30:02,440 --> 01:30:03,360
[Finan] Back!
1252
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,480
Protect the line! Protect the line!
1253

Step back!
1254
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,760
[Finan] They'll overrun us
if we keep giving ground!
1255
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:18,480
What are they doing along the flank?
1256
01:30:19,440 --> 01:30:22,800
[Constantin] Send a message
that Aethelstan is in front of us!
1257
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:24,560
Step back!
1258
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:26,760
Step back!
1259
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,280
[Finan] The line's turning, Lord.
We're coming around!
1260
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,680
Aethelstan is on the Scots' line, Lord.
1261
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:34,120
Swine wedge!
1262
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:36,640

Back!

01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,280
The wall will not hold!
1271
01:31:16,440 --> 01:31:19,000
[Uhtred] Aethelstan, hold the line!
1272
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,840
-[Finan] How much longer, Lord?
-[Uhtred] We're almost there.

[strains]
1274
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,640
They're breaking through
Aethelstan's line, Lord!
1275
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:33,800
[Finan] We can't hold!
1276
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:35,000
Step back!
1277
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:37,240

01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:03,320
[Finan] Lord, trees!
1284
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,720
We've turned them, Lord!
We've turned the line.
1285
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:09,240
-[Uhtred] Give the signal!
-[runner] Yes, Lord.
1286
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,560
-Something's not right.
-[Domnal] We've been turned around!

Lord Uhtred orders the signal.

Hunt down their kings!
1293
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:17,160
It's a trap!

Orkney, Man, Shetland,
1317
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:49,200
Strathclyde, and Scotland, did not.
1318
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:50,560
[Constantin] Each man here
1319
01:37:51,440 --> 01:37:53,520
has left behind an heir.
1320
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:54,720
We wait.
1321
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:59,080
Then attack those leaving the field
and return for our kin.
1322

[Shetland] Do not be
any more foolish, Anlaf.

[Anlaf] Orkney, we need to fight!

What is there to fight for?
1328
01:38:18,440 --> 01:38:20,560
I need a ship to get back to Irland.

Hey. Hey, you.

Tell me the truth.
1340
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,600
When you find yourself before God,
you will have confessed.
1341
01:39:44,480 --> 01:39:45,600
I grew fond of you.
1342
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:52,120
-But my love for my people prevailed.
-I chose you over my people.
1343
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,880
Perhaps my gods are stronger than yours.
1344
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:00,320
Then why am I living…
1345
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:03,920
and you about to die?
1346
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:08,960
Only fools try to understand destiny.

Did my son survive?
1355
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:11,640
Yes.
1356
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,040
[Osbert] And Bebbanburg is ours again.
1357
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:23,520
-We will rebuild in stone.
-[Eadgifu] There is so much future.
1358
01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:25,960
Stay with us, Uhtred.
1359
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:31,040
-What of the enemy?
-[Finan] The victory is ours.
1360
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:34,560
Five sons of kings
lay dead upon the battlefield.
1361
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:39,240
-Five kings that will never be crowned.
-[Finan] "Seven kings must die."
1362
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,040
The prophecy was wrong, Lord.
1363
01:42:41,640 --> 01:42:44,680
With Edward of Wessex, it makes six.
1364
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:47,600
Am I to be the seventh?
1365
01:42:49,480 --> 01:42:52,440
I have told the chroniclers
to write of your victory, Uhtred.
1366
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,240
I have no wish
to be written into your history.
1367
01:42:55,920 --> 01:43:00,680
I want only to be honored
in the feast hall for standing by an oath.
1368
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:17,360
Uhtred, you did not just stand by me.
1369
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:20,280
You stood for me.
1370
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:24,520
You led where I could not.
1371
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:27,320
And you forgave me
1372
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,120
when I was unforgivable.
1373
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:36,600
You saved the hope of England.
1374
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,200
Now in time, it may yet happen.
1375
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:45,120
I said that…
1376
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,680
if you proved yourself
to be the rightful king,
1377
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,360
I would swear Northumbria to you.
1378
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,040
Men have died
fighting under the name of the English.
1379
01:44:01,440 --> 01:44:04,000
To honor them, England should be formed.
1380
01:44:06,440 --> 01:44:08,560
But I have one condition.
1381
01:44:11,440 --> 01:44:14,600
You must make an oath never to marry.
1382
01:44:15,480 --> 01:44:16,360
No heirs.
1383
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,480
So your brother Edmund
can take the throne unchallenged.
1384
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:30,760
Thank you.
1385
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:47,840
This oath
1386
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:49,840
I shall swear.
1387
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:53,080
Then we submit to you as our king.
1388
01:44:55,160 --> 01:45:00,120
Which makes you ruler
of Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia,
1389
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:02,360
and Northumbria.
1390
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:06,240
And I call my lands
1391
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:08,680
England.
1392
01:45:12,480 --> 01:45:13,760
Long live the king!
1393
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:15,440
[all] Long live the king.
1394
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,520
[Uhtred] Long live the King of England.
1395
01:45:24,080 --> 01:45:25,640
Return to your chamber, Lord.
1396
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:31,240
Do not grieve for me.
1397
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,240
It was always written
that I would fall in battle.
1398
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:36,080
[Finan] You're not gonna die, Lord.
1399
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:39,680
-I would go first, and I'm still alive…
-[distant cheering]
1400
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:43,960
So,
1401
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:46,760
destiny is all.
1402
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:50,760
[distant cheering]
1403
01:45:56,640 --> 01:45:58,640
[cheering continues]
1404
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:08,200
[cheering continues]
1405
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:19,960
[chanting]
1406
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:33,720
-Skál!
-[revelers] Skál!
1407
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:36,800
[emotional music playing]
1408
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:04,360
[Finan] Did seven kings die?
1409
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,200
The chronicles do not record
if my lord Uhtred survived.
1410
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:12,720
But those like me, who knew him,
1411
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:16,120
recognize him
as the greatest warrior of our age,
1412
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:19,440
and a man who made a kingdom.
1413
01:48:06,440 --> 01:48:07,440
[song ends]
1414
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:10,600
[ethereal music playing]
