1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,840
[Uhtred] I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,520
Like my childhood friend Brida,
3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,800
I was born Saxon but raised as a Dane.
4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,880
But while she embraced her Viking life,
5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,920
I chose another path.
6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,040
My sword is yours.
7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,720
[Uhtred] Defending King Alfred's Kingdom,
supporting his vision of England,
8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,159
I earned reputation as a killer of Danes,
9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,040
and with my loyal followers,
I have slain many a warrior.
10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,000
Alfred is dying,
11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,960
and all are vying for power and position.
12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,600
Alfred will not live forever.
13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,680
He is constantly ill, but he won't die.
14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,920
Our ancestors were kings,
15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,400
yet we're barely acknowledged
as Ealdormen. We deserve more.
16
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,280
[Uhtred] I stole the seer Skade
from her Lord Sigurd.
17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,200
With Sigurd defeated in battle,
she is tied to me now.
18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,480
You do not yield.
19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040
[Uhtred] My beloved Gisela
did die in childbirth,
20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960
leaving me with an infant I despise.
21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,000
[Hild] She has given you a son.
22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,040
From this moment forth,
23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Uhtred of Bebbanburg is cursed.
24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,320
[Uhtred] She is the power
behind my misfortune.
25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,520
Destiny is all!
26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,600
[theme music playing]
27
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,880
[breathing heavily]
28
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,640
[woman] Are you done, Lord?
29
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Not quite.
30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Soon.
31
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,800
[Hild] Uhtred.
32
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,600
One moment, please.
33
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Lord, I pray,
34
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,000
forgive the breaking
of this peaceful ground.
35
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,000
It is an act of love.
36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,680
- Amen.
- Amen.
37
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,000
[Finan] Lord.
38
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,880
- Lord.
- [sobbing]
39
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,120
It's beautiful.
40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,760
She is drifting away from the earth
41
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,520
- and upward to the heavens.
- [Uhtred sniffles]
42
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,480
[Finan] We've done a good thing here.
43
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,920
God knows it.
44
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,040
The gods know it.
45
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Brother Godwin.
46
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,120
Good morning.
47
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,840
Lord. Good morning.
48
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080
[Aethelwold] I'd like
to speak with you... for a moment.
49
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,080
The girl there...
50
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,400
What of her?
51
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,640
She could well be fond of you.
52
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,200
- Fond?
- As in fondle.
53
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,240
Fondling. And often.
54
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,760
You have my attention, Lord.
55
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Uhtred.
56
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080
He is not the man to guide Prince Edward.
57
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
He is wild, ungodly.
58
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,400
He is half Dane.
59
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,840
Oh, at least.
60
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,840
The Bishop Erkenwald needs to see this.
61
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,760
Alfred needs to be reminded of this.
62
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800
She could be fond of you
this very evening.
63
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,280
Holy ground has been disturbed,
Brother Godwin.
64
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,640
[Beocca] Uhtred!
65
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,920
Uhtred!
66
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,840
You are needed at the palace by the King.
67
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,920
For what reason?
68
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,200
We are about to return to Coccham.
69
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,720
It would be better
if you heard it from him yourself.
70
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,760
You alone.
71
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,400
[Uhtred] Lord.
72
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,280
Been telling Father Beocca
73
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760
that you should be
seizing Bloodhair's ships.
74
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:03,200
Earl Sigurd is finished with, defeated.
75
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,880
Take away his ships
and we take away the means
76
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,400
by which he will leave.
77
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Then take half the ships,
we've killed half his men.
78
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,240
[Edward] Haesten is about to send
Bloodhair on his way.
79
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,360
We've been assured.
80
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,080
He will soon be gone.
81
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,560
To the matter in hand.
82
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Uhtred,
83
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:22,960
I do not forget what you have
done these past days.
84
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Past years, Lord.
85
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,120
I am acutely aware of what you have lost,
86
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,320
of your suffering.
87
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,400
Lord.
88
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640
Gisela was a most hospitable woman.
89
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,320
How is the child?
90
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,520
She has given him her strength.
91
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,160
And life.
92
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,720
Yes.
93
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:48,480
She was a good woman.
94
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400
- Thank you, Lord.
- There has been a desecration.
95
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,080
You were seen.
96
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,400
[Beocca] The graveyard, Uhtred,
97
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,360
it is blessed holy ground.
98
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,160
You do not have the right
nor authority to break this ground.
99
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,200
You were seen willfully disturbing
the peace of the dead.
100
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,800
I disturbed no one but my wife.
101
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,320
If I have done wrong, I apologize-
102
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,320
It is very wrong.
103
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,920
I put the earth back.
104
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,320
It was a desecration.
105
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Uhtred, I admit I am at a loss
with what to do.
106
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Is an apology enough?
107
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,680
[Beocca] If it is heartfelt, Lord.
God is merciful.
108
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,080
He is, and Uhtred's actions,
understandable.
109
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,880
[Aelswith] But not forgivable.
110
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760
[Uhtred] I swear, I meant no insult.
111
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,440
If I may speak, Lord?
112
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,760
The woman Gisela was a pagan,
113
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,320
and did not belong in holy ground.
114
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,560
By removing her,
115
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Lord Uhtred was undoing
what shouldn't have been done.
116
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,600
Her presence would have poisoned the soil.
117
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,640
I believe the dead are well rid of her.
118
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Rid of her?
119
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Brother Godwin speaks
in your favor, Uhtred.
120
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,040
[Godwin] I speak the truth.
121
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Gisela was a pagan and a whore,
122
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,880
still married to Aelfric of Bebbanburg.
123
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,360
- You will say no more. You will say no...
- She was a whore. Her children, bastards.
124
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Enough, Godwin.
125
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000
I'd have the poor wretches
taken and baptized...
126
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,200
Lord, I won't listen to this nonsense.
127
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,800
The souls in heaven are rejoicing...
128
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960
- Godwin!
- ...that the heathen Gisela
129
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,320
has been taken from the earth and burnt!
130
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,600
- Brother Godwin!
- [Godwin] She was no better
131
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,160
than the witch Skade
whom he has brought to...
132
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,360
[grunts]
133
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,280
No more!
134
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,240
- He has struck him!
- I am not blind.
135
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Now it is your turn
to apologize, priest! Insulting women!
136
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,799
Hiding behind your affliction
and your cross!
137
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,360
[Beocca] Get away from him now. Uhtred.
138
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,080
He did himself no favor,
you all heard him!
139
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:44,560
[Erkenwald] Lord,
140
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,760
I fear he is dead.
141
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,880
He cannot be dead.
It was a slap, no more than that.
142
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,200
He is dead.
143
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,960
It was a slap, Lord,
you saw it for yourself.
144
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,920
- Guards, seize him.
- It was a slap.
145
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,760
Seize him. Seize him now!
146
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,520
I said take hold of him!
147
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:16,560
Steapa, secure the city walls!
No one is to leave. No one.
148
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,800
[Edward] Lord...
149
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,680
I want him here by nightfall!
150
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,160
Uhtred!
151
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,000
- Uhtred!
- [shushes]
152
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,760
I told you, big man, he's resting.
153
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,480
Uhtred, do not make me fire the house!
154
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:32,960
That is what I will do!
155
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,560
Steapa, do not make me kill you first,
156
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,960
that is what I will do.
157
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Uhtred, do not make me step
on your Irishman!
158
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,600
That's what I will do!
159
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:47,040
Oh, for goodness' sake,
stop behaving like children.
160
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,440
You are goading him.
161
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,560
I was, Hild. And enjoying it.
162
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,680
So the Abbess may enter, but I may not?
163
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,360
We're afraid of the Abbess.
164
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,960
[men laughing]
165
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,760
[boy] Sister Hild!
166
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,400
[Hild chuckles] Come to bed.
167
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,840
Lord, there can be no bloodshed.
168
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,640
They are throwing insults out there,
but they will soon tire of that. Come.
169
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,760
There will not be bloodshed.
170
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,440
You should say that to Steapa.
171
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,360
His head is hurting from thinking.
172
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,960
Is there a solution?
173
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,520
I did nothing wrong.
174
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Uhtred,
175
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,200
you killed a monk,
176
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,360
a holy man,
177
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,440
and not for the first time.
178
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,120
And why is she still here?
179
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,960
I am not your concern, witch.
180
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880
[Uhtred] I did not intend
to kill the monk,
181
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,360
nor do I regret it.
182
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,720
It was fate.
183
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,000
[Uhtred] Fetch Beocca.
184
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,480
Ask him to bring the demands of the King.
185
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,200
I will tell Beocca
186
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,840
that you are ready to talk and to listen.
187
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Be sure that you do.
188
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,720
It would help if you cut her throat.
189
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:55,560
[Skade] He cannot.
190
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,880
He dare not.
191
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,080
Tonight, Lord...
192
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,320
you'll break your oath to Alfred.
You'll have...
193
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,600
You will be quiet!
194
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,160
It is a new beginning.
195
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,360
I did not wish for a new beginning.
196
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,840
This is your doing.
197
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,680
All of it.
198
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,680
You speak another word
and I will end your life,
199
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,160
no matter the curse nor the consequences.
200
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,520
[Aethelwold] I thought I would
keep you company, Beocca.
201
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320
I feel more godly just walking beside you.
202
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,600
Aethelwold, you are
only here for the game.
203
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,880
I am, but what a game.
204
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,960
[Beocca] Open up.
205
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Uhtred.
206
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,480
The King and Edward have conferred
207
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,880
and they have decided
there will be no trial.
208
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,440
No punishment,
209
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
saving a small wergild
to be paid to the church.
210
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,960
[Finan] A wergild?
211
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,080
100 pieces of silver.
212
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,720
[chuckles] That's all?
213
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,840
Of course not.
214
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,440
One hundred pieces of silver
and your oath.
215
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,840
He has my oath.
216
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,960
[exhales] The King wishes that you swear
an oath to the aetheling, to Edward.
217
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,880
Edward is not the aetheling.
The crown cannot be assumed.
218
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Then Alfred is asking for my life.
219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,600
Just your loyalty to Edward.
220
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,920
He's a boy! Swear an oath to a boy,
it is the rest of your life.
221
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,880
Father, the King asks too much.
222
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,120
What you must now do, Uhtred,
223
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,560
is consider what will happen
if you do not swear the oath to Edward.
224
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,240
People will die.
225
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080
It won't just be
the men here who will die!
226
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,400
It'll be the men you fought beside...
227
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,960
- It will be Alfred's doing.
- [Beocca] ...days ago.
228
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,240
He couldn't care less
for men in his service.
229
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,000
The King cares deeply!
230
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,840
You, Beocca, you served him
all your life, and for what?
231
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,680
His witan whisper
about your choice of wife?
232
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Without Alfred, I would be dead!
233
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Without Alfred, there would be no Wessex,
there would be no Mercia, no Christendom.
234
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960
There would be Danes! And that is all.
235
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,400
The green fields would be red with blood
and I'd be dead.
236
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,520
Look, for all your whines and moans,
237
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Uhtred of Bebbanburg,
you've had a good life here in Wessex,
238
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,600
and don't you dare say otherwise.
239
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Alfred gave you shelter.
240
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,720
I have earned it.
241
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,720
You have land and wealth,
242
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840
- food and drink.
- I've earned it.
243
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,480
Make your choice, boy!
244
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,560
Accept your punishment
or allow your friends to kill each other,
245
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,840
all to spare you the hardship
of life as a lord!
246
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Did I not say it would be
more than a wergild?
247
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,680
Aethelwold, I swear,
when the killing starts,
248
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120
you shall be my first.
249
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,000
There will be no killing.
250
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Steapa.
251
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,360
[Steapa] Lord.
252
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,960
I will not fight you
nor any of these men here.
253
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,560
I'll go with you to the King, friend.
254
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,680
I am pleased to hear you say that, Lord.
255
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,160
The King is merciful.
256
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,640
He knows your worth.
257
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,800
We shall see.
258
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,480
You know what to do.
259
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,200
[indistinct chatter]
260
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,240
You have something to say, I'm told.
261
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,960
Lord.
262
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Look around you.
263
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,880
I ask that you remember
my service to you at Ethandun,
264
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,720
and more, much more.
265
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,880
Good service past is no excuse
for breaking the law of the land.
266
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,400
I will pay the wergild,
267
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,840
but though Edward's a fine young man,
268
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,120
I cannot swear an oath I will not keep.
269
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,080
You know this. An oath to protect Edward
is an oath for the rest of my life.
270
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Your word has meaning,
I will give you that,
271
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,640
which is the very reason
I would like you beside my son
272
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,680
when I am gone and he is King.
273
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,080
[Uhtred] You have Steapa.
274
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,080
[Alfred] Steapa at his left hand
and you at his right.
275
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,120
There is no negotiation to be had, Uhtred.
276
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,280
None.
277
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,000
Have I not given enough, Lord?
278
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,760
I beg of you.
279
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,760
Self pity does not suit you.
280
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,840
I am allowing you to live.
281
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,280
You will do as I ask.
282
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,560
No, Lord. I will not.
283
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,800
- Uhtred!
- [Edward] Father!
284
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,400
- Steapa, put down your sword!
- Do nothing more!
285
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,160
- Edward, no!
- Edward, stand still!
286
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,440
Uhtred, this is madness.
287
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,480
Not one man is to take
a single step closer! Not one step!
288
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,160
Steapa, kill the bastard.
289
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,080
- Do it now!
- No!
290
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,920
- [Aelswith] Steapa!
- No man is to make a single move!
291
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,200
No man is to put
the King's life in danger!
292
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Do you understand?
293
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,319
This means death for you,
it can be nothing else.
294
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,839
- Away from the door!
- Uhtred, please.
295
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Every man away from the door!
296
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,880
[Beocca] Uhtred.
297
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,040
Please, I beg of you one last time.
298
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,119
Beocca,
299
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,200
you'll close and bar the door.
300
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,440
You will ensure no one follows.
301
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Not until Alfred himself knocks.
302
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,960
Lord, on my oath, he will not harm you.
303
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,720
But if he does harm you,
304
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,720
I swear, I will kill him myself.
305
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Beocca, the door!
306
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,800
Now!
307
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,720
I gave you glory!
308
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,680
I gave you the freedom
to worship your God,
309
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,320
and still you treat me
no better than a hound!
310
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,360
- I should kill you.
- Then do it,
311
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,880
like the heathen you are.
Think I am afraid?
312
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:01,120
[grunts]
313
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,920
I can smell the shit on your legs.
314
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Heaven awaits me,
315
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,360
but you shall burn
in hell for all eternity!
316
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,920
Valhalla is a lie and your gods are a lie!
317
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,400
[groans and gasps]
318
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,200
[panting]
319
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,760
I seem to have broken my oath, Lord.
320
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,880
With luck,
the whole of Wessex will now burn.
321
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,040
[groans]
322
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,000
Father Beocca!
323
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Yes, Lord!
324
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Find him and kill him.
325
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,000
[guard 1] He's here! Close the gates!
326
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,640
- I wish no harm.
- [guard 1] Stay there!
327
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,760
- [Uhtred] Stand clear.
- [guard 2] Don't move.
328
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,480
[guard 1] After him!
329
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,320
[Steapa] Uhtred!
330
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,720
Every man with me!
331
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,320
[woman shrieks]
332
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,960
[Steapa] Spear!
333
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,000
Uhtred, don't do it!
334
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,760
[Steapa] Uhtred!
335
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,800
[groans]
336
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,080
You two, come with me!
The rest of you, go round.
337
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,040
[Finan] So, they decided to let you go?
338
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,080
We should ride, hard.
339
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,320
- Lord, you are cut.
- Barely.
340
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,000
We ride to where, Lord?
341
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,160
To Ragnar and to the Danes.
342
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Then we should go meet your men.
343
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
[Uhtred] Hurry!
344
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,080
Hyah, hyah!
345
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:58,920
Go, all of you.
346
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,160
I wish to be alone.
347
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,120
All of you, go!
348
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,680
[breathing shakily]
349
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,600
[Offa] Lord.
350
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,800
You throw an ax well.
351
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Can you use that sword?
352
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,200
It's not a sword.
353
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,520
It's just the handle.
354
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,800
It did break.
355
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,600
In battle?
356
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,320
[clears throat]
357
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,640
I fell, Lord.
358
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,640
At least you're honest.
359
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,360
- I'm looking for men, guards.
- There are guards at the palace.
360
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
No, I am looking to form my own guard.
361
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,960
If you had a sword, could you use it?
362
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,280
I could, yes.
363
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,200
- I'm called Offa.
- Offa.
364
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,800
I will employ you and two others.
365
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,880
You know men who would make good guards?
366
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,680
I do. Good men, friends of mine.
367
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,000
Find them.
368
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:50,640
We travel tonight.
369
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,520
You will be paid in silver.
370
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,960
Uhtred has thrown
everything away. Everything.
371
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,520
[Thyra] Did he have a choice?
372
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:00,760
No, he did not.
373
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,800
The King asked for too much.
374
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,600
Alfred offered him forgiveness.
375
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,440
What Alfred did was ignore Uhtred's pain.
376
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,600
This isn't the end of the matter.
377
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,040
It is only the beginning.
378
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,760
If Edward is being made ready to be King,
379
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,560
then Uhtred knows
that Alfred's death is near.
380
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,560
That is what he will tell the Danes.
381
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,200
Lord.
382
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,800
She wishes to speak to you.
383
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,560
I wish to ride alongside you.
384
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,200
Your place is at the back of the line.
385
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,880
I wish to ride alongside you
as your woman.
386
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,200
You have what you have
always craved, your freedom.
387
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,240
Embrace it and embrace me.
388
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,400
Did I not say you would be
in need of a woman?
389
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,240
Do not dare to think
that you can replace my wife!
390
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,360
I saw what would occur to your wife.
I was not the cause.
391
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,360
I know you would like to bed me.
392
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,520
You are Bloodhair's woman, are you not?
393
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,280
Unless you decide to claim me.
394
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,040
Then I will have a decision to make.
395
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Bloodhair's not the warrior that you are.
396
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320
He is not the king that you can be.
397
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,520
Lord,
398
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,400
we can be enemies
399
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,200
or lovers.
400
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,720
We can suffer or we can rule.
401
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,640
Back of the line.
402
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,480
Then you shall remain cursed!
403
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,080
It's your choice.
404
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,360
Why is she not food for the rats by now?
405
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,600
[Uhtred] Because she has a gift.
406
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,240
[groans]
407
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,400
Because she has taken hold of my path.
408
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,360
If we kill her, the curse will live on.
409
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,680
It is the curse that must be killed.
410
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,160
[Uhtred breathes heavily]
411
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
She is the worm and Uhtred is the apple.
412
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,600
I am Aethelwold of Wessex.
413
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,880
We are here to drink
and to see Lord Aethelred.
414
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,160
- [guard] Open the gate!
- In that order.
415
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,960
[Aethelwold swallows]
What is it about Mercian ale?
416
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,440
[Aldhelm] It is the waters.
417
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,360
Divine.
418
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,920
I haven't seen Lady Aethelflaed.
419
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,960
My wife prefers her own company.
420
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,520
She often sits at her own estate.
421
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600
- Your fair daughter. She's how old now?
- What is it you want?
422
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Say it.
423
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,960
What I want
424
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,680
is your disloyalty
425
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,360
towards Alfred.
426
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,880
You're probably aware
that his health is failing.
427
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,080
His health has been failing
and then recovering for years.
428
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,880
But he is now without
his best warrior and kingmaker...
429
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,160
Uhtred.
430
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,320
Uhtred is dead?
431
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Uhtred is, by now, on his way to Dunholm
and then to Bebbanburg, perhaps.
432
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,280
Where he is not, is Wessex.
433
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,240
Uhtred is no longer Alfred's sword.
434
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,560
Uhtred is gone.
435
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,640
Uhtred is a Dane.
436
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,320
[Uhtred coughs]
437
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,160
My own ambitions are clear,
I have never hid them.
438
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,040
The crown of Wessex is rightfully mine.
439
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,280
But I do not wish to control Mercia.
440
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:38,040
I have no interest in Mercia.
441
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,400
Yes, yes.
442
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,680
I believe Mercia should have its own King.
443
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,600
You, Aethelred.
444
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,040
What you must understand is
our entire world is about to change.
445
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:56,080
The opportunity to occupy the throne
of our respective kingdoms is near.
446
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,720
It is now.
447
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,400
And you are suggesting what, exactly?
448
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
I am proposing that we ally
ourselves to one another.
449
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,160
A betrothal of sorts.
450
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,480
An alliance.
451
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,760
Lord Aethelred has estate,
452
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,440
a hearth guard and a fyrd to call upon.
453
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,640
You appear to have three men
and a scab-ridden pack-horse.
454
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,560
I won't betray any confidence,
but believe me,
455
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,760
I shall have an army.
456
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,960
As for Lord Aethelred's guard and fyrd,
many say they belong to his wife.
457
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,360
She is the one with a battle reputation.
458
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,200
My men are my own
459
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,640
and no one else's, I can assure you.
460
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,600
I am repeating gossip, no more than...
461
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,600
- My men are my own.
- Agreed.
462
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,040
Though you must worry,
463
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,920
that despite her bravery,
Aethelflaed may come to some harm,
464
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,600
alone on her own estate?
Heavens forbid, but...
465
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,840
should something final befall
his daughter,
466
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,680
I imagine that would weaken
the pretend King further.
467
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,240
I'd guess you would imagine
this weakening quite often,
468
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Lord Aethelwold.
469
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,120
Nightly.
470
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,160
Should we not stop and rest?
471
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,960
I am tired of the sight
of my horse's head,
472
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,280
his ears in particular.
473
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,040
We need shelter and fire, boy.
474
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:38,400
There's no shelter here.
475
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,720
We keep going.
476
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,120
For a short time at least.
477
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,760
[wind whistling]
478
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,480
[coughs]
479
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,120
[Sithric] Lord!
480
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Lord!
481
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Are you hurt, Lord? Is it your wound?
482
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,720
[Uhtred grunts]
483
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,880
No.
484
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,200
She has me.
485
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,200
[Finan] Jesus, he looks
the color of a Scotsman's arse.
486
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,400
Anything broken?
487
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,880
She is squeezing the life from me.
488
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880
[Finan] Either that
or the cold has got to your bones.
489
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,520
[groans] Finan,
490
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,400
you will find a cart
491
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,360
and you will haul me to Dunholm, to Brida.
492
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,640
She will know what to do.
493
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,200
[Finan] Get him up.
494
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,000
[grunting]
495
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,040
We're being followed.
496
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,280
No, we are being watched, Offa.
497
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,360
Just ahead, there is a camp full of Danes
led by a man they call Bloodhair.
498
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,360
Hold up the branch.
499
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,880
- Tilberht.
- Higher! Above your head.
500
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,440
[Offa] What does the branch mean?
501
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,000
[Aethelwold] That we are peaceful,
that we wish to talk.
502
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,840
And if they are Bloodhair's men,
which they will be,
503
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,280
with luck,
504
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,080
he'll want to hear what I have to say.
505
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,240
And if they are not?
506
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,120
You will protect me with your lives.
507
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,440
And the branch.
508
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,360
[Offa] My God, there are
hundreds of the bastards.
509
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,520
Every one of them ugly.
510
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,240
Hold the branch high.
511
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,080
Higher!
512
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,800
It's heavy, Lord.
513
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,360
[Offa] Higher, Tilberht!
514
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,520
[Aethelwold] Lord Bloodhair,
515
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Haesten. What a pleasure
to see you as a pair.
516
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,840
- You know this turd, Haesten?
- I do.
517
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Welcome, Lord Aethelwold.
518
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,200
You bring word from Alfred?
519
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,840
I bring word of Alfred.
520
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,200
And I bring word of Uhtred Ragnarson
and of the Lady Skade.
521
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,840
She was once your woman,
I seem to remember.
522
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,640
- Skade lives?
- She does.
523
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,560
And lives well,
with Lord Uhtred snug between her thighs.
524
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,400
But neither are in Wessex.
525
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,080
Where is Uhtred then?
526
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Banished.
527
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,680
An enemy of Alfred.
528
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,600
Heading to Ragnar Ragnarson,
his brother, I would guess.
529
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,760
This turd has knowledge,
530
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,400
and not just of what I've eaten.
531
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,600
I have a proposal.
532
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800
There already seems to be an alliance
between you.
533
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,480
What I suggest is
that we grow that alliance
534
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,360
and create the greatest
Dane army ever seen.
535
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,760
I propose that we join together.
536
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,160
Us three here, we join with Ragnar
537
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,160
and with Uhtred.
538
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,880
But I want to kill Uhtred.
539
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,400
- And then what, kill Ragnar?
- Or you, perhaps.
540
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,320
We have your story.
541
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,160
What else do you offer?
542
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,440
I offer unrest in Wessex.
543
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,600
By speaking to certain ealdormen,
544
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,480
I could halve the size of Alfred's army
in a moment.
545
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,200
I can be the bridge
between Saxon and Dane.
546
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,440
[Haesten chuckles]
547
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,960
Are you sure Uhtred is in the north?
548
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,960
Yes.
549
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,880
Just as I am sure
that Danes cannot fight Danes,
550
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Danes cannot kill allies.
551
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560
We cannot ignore the gift
that is presenting itself.
552
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,120
A Wessex without Uhtred to protect it,
553
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,520
a weakened and frail Alfred.
554
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,640
Now is the time for all Danes to gather.
555
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,760
No divisions.
556
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,680
I say that we take that idea north,
557
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,120
to Ragnar and to Uhtred.
558
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,640
I demand
559
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,760
that the sword-Danes unite
560
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,120
and crush the Anglo-Saxons...
561
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,160
It's not your place to make demands.
562
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,400
Enough that you have been heard.
563
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,520
[gasps]
564
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Excellent.
565
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,040
[clicks tongue]
566
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,880
A few days more, Lord.
567
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,080
It is your cart that is slowing us down.
568
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,160
Remember me, arseling? [echoes]
569
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,320
You'll get out of your bed
and make ready. [echoing]
570
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,040
- For what?
- [echoing] To fight me.
571
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Leofric...
572
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,280
I do not wish to fight you.
573
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,480
- Why would I fight you?
- You will fight me, you piece of shit!
574
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,720
For I am Wessex! I am Saxon!
575
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,400
I am for Alfred! And you, arseling,
576
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,600
are a Dane and a traitor.
577
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,240
Fight me!
578
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,040
[coughs]
579
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,880
[breathing heavily]
580
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Can no man hold his tongue?
581
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,440
The country's rife with news
of Uhtred's betrayal
582
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,920
and of my apparent weakness.
583
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,600
- The talk will pass, Lord.
- The talk will only build.
584
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,800
Gossip and rumor will spread
like a summer's fire.
585
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,000
It can only serve to embolden our enemies.
586
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,840
I note that Sigurd's ships remain in Cent.
587
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:48,920
[Beocca] Yes.
588
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,520
You need to end the gossip, Lord.
589
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,719
A visit, perhaps, not to Sigurd
but to several of the burhs.
590
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,000
The King doesn't have
the strength to travel.
591
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,360
Then something else.
592
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,520
A celebration.
593
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,120
Something that allows you
to show yourself proud, kingly.
594
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,080
For what reason, Father Beocca,
to sap him further?
595
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,200
To demonstrate that he has not weakened.
596
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,360
You will both be silent, I am still here.
597
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Yes, Lord.
598
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,000
What would be this occasion be?
599
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,680
I do not know.
600
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,640
A saint's day?
601
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:26,960
A thanksgiving.
602
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,640
You may wish to involve Edward.
603
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:29,920
- A betrothal.
- Edward?
604
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:31,880
He is old enough.
605
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,600
He's besotted
with the mother of his bastard twins.
606
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,880
Oh, it cannot be her.
She is a cloth's width from a peasant.
607
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,720
Then whomever is most suited?
608
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,880
What it would do is put an end
609
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,440
to one line of gossip and begin another.
610
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,520
Indeed.
611
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,720
Father Beocca, would you leave us, please?
612
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:51,760
Yes, Lord.
613
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,320
I cannot allow Uhtred's betrayal
nor this...
614
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,400
illness to defeat me.
615
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,840
England must not be forgotten.
616
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,880
Lord, you shall see its birth,
617
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,960
- you will grow strong.
- My dear, I will not see another year.
618
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,320
We know it.
619
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,040
[inhales] We must continue forward.
620
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,920
We must find Edward a suitable match,
one that will strengthen his hand.
621
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,000
But a better match than was
made for Aethelflaed.
622
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,120
Has that marriage not served a purpose?
623
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,360
Aethelflaed has influence.
624
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,280
She's far stronger
than Aethelred the pretty.
625
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,280
What you have begun, Lord,
626
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,800
shall continue.
627
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,240
Our children will build an England,
628
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,080
I swear.
629
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,840
[door opens]
630
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,160
- [Aethelred] Take it.
- [woman giggling] No...
631
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:57,920
You asked for me, Lord?
632
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,560
I did.
633
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,800
I have been thinking about...
634
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,080
Aethelwold's visit,
635
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,720
what he said about my heroic wife.
636
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,040
The chances of her meeting harm
in one form or another.
637
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,600
And you have decided what?
638
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,480
I want her dead.
639
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,560
And the child with her.
640
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,280
[Cnut] We've been trailing them for
half a day now. They are mostly Saxon.
641
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,560
Some Danes maybe.
642
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,320
They're not of Eoferwic. They're warriors.
643
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,760
They're surrounding the cart, there.
644
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,560
Protecting it and the man that lies on it.
645
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,240
It is the riding in clear sight
I find interesting.
646
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,400
[Brida] Mmm.
647
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,880
They have no fear.
648
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,680
You're staring at me. Why?
649
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,680
I'm looking,
650
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,800
nothing more.
651
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,160
And I'm thinking how fortunate
my cousin is
652
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,320
to have a woman to both love and fight.
653
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,840
So why do you allow him to shame you?
654
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,800
Cnut, you know nothing,
655
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,600
so you will say nothing.
656
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,400
Allow them to continue in peace.
657
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,320
All the way to Dunholm?
658
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,600
That's where they're headed.
659
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,560
[panting]
660
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,320
[Finan] Has he drunk any ale?
661
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,680
- A little.
- A little is of little use.
662
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,520
[sniffs]
663
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,240
All right.
664
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,600
Do you have the strength
to lift a wee cup, Lord?
665
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,120
Hmm?
666
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,080
Even if it is to wet your lips.
667
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,320
Oh, eh.
668
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,640
[exhales weakly]
669
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,880
I'd wager you feel like you're
back on the slave ship.
670
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,840
You got past that nightmare.
671
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,880
You can get past this.
672
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,560
Believe me.
673
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,680
It's her, Finan.
674
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,720
Turning my insides outward.
675
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,960
[Finan] Then kill her.
676
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,280
- Or let me do it for you.
- No.
677
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,400
Uhtred...
678
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,640
I fear you are dying.
679
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,960
Sihtric says we will arrive
at Dunholm tomorrow.
680
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,840
They've been watching us
for most of the day.
681
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,320
At least, I hope it's them.
682
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:44,320
Broth, Lord.
683
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,040
I made it myself.
684
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,040
I did the same at the monastery
and the Brothers devoured it.
685
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,200
[grunts]
686
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,000
Please, it'll make your strength.
687
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,400
[Leofric] Now you know
how Alfred would feel.
688
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,840
Belly and bones aching.
689
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,320
[neighing]
690
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,480
But every day he got to his feet,
691
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,600
and every day he built Wessex.
692
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,840
- With my sword.
- Lord?
693
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,920
My arse.
694
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,400
He built Wessex with my sword.
695
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,640
I see my sister's boy is with you now.
696
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,920
Alfred's bastard.
697
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,240
The Monk.
698
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,960
He's no warrior.
699
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,560
[Leofric] Then why is he here?
700
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,280
[Uhtred] Gisela.
701
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,000
It's the fever. It will pass.
702
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,880
[Skade] He sees someone.
703
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,400
It is the gods,
704
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,840
tormenting him.
705
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,040
[Leofric] Who is Gisela?
706
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,880
[Uhtred] My wife.
707
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,320
Another one?
708
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:54,760
How many is that?
709
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:58,320
So this Gisela is to blame
710
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,560
for making my nephew a traitor
to his country?
711
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,320
She was fond of him.
712
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,400
That is why he is with me.
713
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,280
You look sickly.
714
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,440
What has she done to you, the witch there?
715
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,120
It is a death you will deserve,
716
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,840
for you have made
every man here a traitor.
717
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,360
Alfred is their King.
718
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,480
You are dead!
719
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,240
Alfred does not mourn you,
so why speak for him?
720
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,200
You are dead! [coughing]
721
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,480
Lord, Lord. You must eat
and you must drink.
722
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,040
You are not thinking right.
723
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,760
[breathing heavily]
724
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:49,400
- Brida.
- She will be at Dunholm.
725
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,920
[Sihtric] Finan, look.
726
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,200
[Brida] I'm here.
727
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,200
[Finan] Brida?
728
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,480
Jackdaw, any trouble in the night?
729
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,720
She showed me her tits.
730
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,920
They looked very nice.
731
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,000
[Brida] You say you're a seer,
732
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,760
but you have no runes.
733
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,440
- What is this?
- Unless you hid them up your arse?
734
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,960
I wish to see my Lord, Uhtred.
735
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,280
And you will bring him to me.
736
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,280
You'll shut your mouth.
737
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,440
Bring him to me or I'll bind
your path to that of a river rat!
738
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,680
[Brida grunts]
739
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,600
You will not throw curses. Not here.
740
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,960
Not now I have this Nithstong
to block your powers.
741
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,920
This is Freya's soil now.
742
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,440
The goddess who brought
the magic to the gods will protect us.
743
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,160
Don't make me bring the seer
to whom this Nithstong belongs.
744
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,560
She is blood-tied to Freya.
745
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,320
Don't make her destroy you.
746
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,720
I swear...
747
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,480
I will kill you, bitch.
748
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,600
- Jackdaw...
- Hmm?
749
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,920
Keep your hands on your sword
and your eyes off her tits.
750
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,040
She's cleverer than you.
751
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:38,400
I heard that.
752
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Good?
753
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,720
It is good.
754
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:53,120
We thought you'd gone, Lord.
755
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,680
The same.
756
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,920
I feared I'd die an old man's
death under furs.
757
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,600
[Cnut] So, the great
Dane-slayer was afraid?
758
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,640
- You are who?
- He's no one important, Uhtred.
759
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,760
- I am Cnut.
- You are what?
760
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,040
[Ragnar] He is Cnut.
761
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:15,240
He's my cousin
on my mother's side.
762
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,880
I'm a Dane,
763
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:18,560
Lord Uhtred.
764
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,160
So are you gonna kill me too?
765
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,280
You talk like an infant.
766
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,840
How many have you
already despatched to Valhalla?
767
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,680
Is it twelve? Twenty? Forty?
768
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,680
You'll shut your mouth now.
Show my brother some respect.
769
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,320
Or I may have to kill one more.
770
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,520
[men laughing]
771
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,240
He's back!
772
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,000
He's back.
773
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Get up.
774
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,880
Up on your feet!
775
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:46,240
Get up.
776
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,400
[grunts]
777
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,280
He is back where he belongs.
778
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,720
Where he has always belonged.
779
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:01,680
You're a Dane for life now.
780
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,960
Say it.
781
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,480
I am a Dane for life.
782
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,760
No.
783
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:11,920
Say it.
784
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,480
[thumping]
785
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,640
I am a Dane for life.
786
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:19,240
[thumping continues]
787
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,320
Mean it!
788
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,840
I am a Dane for life!
789
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,720
From this day onwards.
790
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,000
From this day onwards.
791
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,080
This means everything to me.
792
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,360
[men cheer]
793
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,880
[Finan] So, do you have an army,
Lord Cnut?
794
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:46,960
[Cnut] I do.
795
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,520
Two hundred men. Two hundred good men.
796
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,760
Are they all as entertaining as you are?
797
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,040
- You are headed where?
- [Cnut] Undecided.
798
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,800
Though if Alfred of Wessex is
now without his Dane-slayer,
799
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,240
may consider heading south.
800
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,600
Call me Dane-slayer once more,
and we'll fight.
801
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,400
Why the anger, Lord?
802
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,360
You deny you killed many of us?
Many Danes, many Northmen?
803
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Only the ones who were trying to kill me.
804
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,360
And I'm only teasing, unfairly.
805
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,760
You must be tired
from your journey and your...
806
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:20,400
illness.
807
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,080
So be sure to rest.
808
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,040
I like him.
809
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,800
Not as much as he likes himself.
810
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:32,880
[chuckling]
811
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:40,880
Well, he's not wrong.
812
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,080
The prospect of Alfred without Uhtred
813
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,600
will bring fire to the bellies
of many Danes.
814
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,240
You included?
815
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,520
Wessex is still the jewel,
816
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,040
and I'm getting too comfortable
in my fortress.
817
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,600
My children are in Wessex.
818
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,280
We have many friends in Wessex.
819
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,000
More reasons to visit.
820
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:07,240
Well, this talk is for another time.
821
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,280
Another time soon.
822
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,040
You've not asked about Thyra.
823
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,480
The boy Osferth told me.
824
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,320
She is Christian,
825
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,000
and she's married.
826
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,880
She is happy.
827
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:27,880
[Finan] Uhtred.
828
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,040
I came here to rest, to hunt,
829
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,560
find a woman, maybe.
830
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,320
I did not come here
to talk of war against Alfred.
831
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,920
I will be outside drinking ale.
832
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,880
Finish your plate.
833
00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Where is she?
834
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,440
Skade?
835
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,680
Caged for now. She can't reach you.
836
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:06,720
She's got power, Uhtred.
837
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,480
- I have felt it.
- Power that you could wield.
838
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,320
It's the way she works, through a man.
A warrior.
839
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,360
My sword is all I need.
840
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,640
I'll not give half of myself
over to a seer.
841
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:22,000
Then you must kill her.
842
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,040
I want to, but how?
843
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,400
Her curse must die with her.
How can I be sure that it does?
844
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,080
I'll ask.
845
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,040
I'll ask a seer more powerful than Skade.
846
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,640
- When?
- When I am sure of you,
847
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,480
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
848
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,240
[sighs]
849
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,280
[sighs] I remember
the very first time I took your hand.
850
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:09,440
[chuckles softly]
851
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,840
On the steps of the great hall
in Eoferwic.
852
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,280
A priest was hanging from the wall,
853
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,160
a spear through his chest. [laughs]
854
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,600
Ragnar tells me you have children.
855
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,840
No. No, I am not a mother, no.
856
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,960
But Ragnar has children by other women.
857
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,960
I, too, have been cursed.
858
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,040
A child refuses to grow inside me.
859
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,920
My first loss was our child in the wood.
860
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,960
No matter. Eat as much as you are able.
861
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,160
He will expect you to drink
and play games.
862
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:00,800
Brida. [clears throat]
863
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:01,880
Hmm?
864
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,000
I'm sorry for you.
865
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:10,880
Ragnar is my child.
866
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:16,640
Betray him and I will kill you.
867
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,400
If you are now a Dane,
868
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,560
you must undo the past.
869
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,880
Undo the past? How?
870
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:28,880
You must destroy Alfred.
