I never asked for that.

As I remember, you requested nothing.
84

to threaten Kattegat.

And I believe you're right as well.
162

the kingdoms were suffering.

Every Ealdorman
is facing the threat of rebellion.
174
00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:33,974
I can place new men in power
who can enforce tax collection.
175
00:15:34,058 --> 00:15:37,603
The problem is not the collectors,
it is tax itself.
176
00:15:37,686 --> 00:15:39,063
It is crippling,
177
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:41,941
which is why I suggest a new one.
178
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:48,197
A simple levy on every household.
179

-But this is hardly anything.
-Exactly.

But gathered across the whole of England,
every town, every village,
181
00:15:56,205 --> 00:15:58,165
it is more than enough to build an army,

00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:24,108
The battle comes from all sides.
188
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:31,991
[panting]
189
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:42,459
[grunts] The battle ends, but it's
never over until you don't get up.
190
00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:45,087
[panting] Let's go again.
191
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,383
[Haakon] Enough for today.
192
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:56,598
[Shield-maiden grunts]
193
00:16:57,266 --> 00:16:59,685
You have yet to tell me about Uppsala.
194
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:03,731
I had a vision
195
00:17:04,481 --> 00:17:07,151
and I met a man
the priests called The Seer.
196
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:13,323
He seemed to be expecting me
and he called me "The Last."
197
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:19,329
He asked me about what I had seen,
but my answers seemed to disappoint him.
198
00:17:20,914 --> 00:17:23,834
-You know of him?
-I do.
199
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:28,505
The Seer told me my destiny as well.
200
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:31,925
Was it confusing?
201
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:34,386
Mine was simple.
202
00:17:36,346 --> 00:17:38,015
He told me about a wave
203
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:41,143
that only I could see.
204
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,561
[wind blowing]
205
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:48,650
First, the water left the harbor.
206
00:17:51,111 --> 00:17:54,698
The people thought it was a blessing
from the Gods, Syn and Ran.
207
00:17:55,365 --> 00:17:56,825
A gift of the sea.
208
00:17:57,659 --> 00:17:59,745
They celebrated their bounty.
209
00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:04,541
No one asked
where the water had gone. No one cared.
210
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:07,878
But it had to go somewhere.
211
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:09,797
When it came back…
212
00:18:12,841 --> 00:18:14,802
it was as tall as the mountains,
213
00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:17,888
and as deep as the Earth.
214
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,057
[all screaming]
215
00:18:26,980 --> 00:18:29,608
And there was nothing
I could do to stop it.
216
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:36,865
[Freydis] In your vision,
does anyone survive?
217
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:39,785
A woman.
218
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:44,665
For a long time, I thought it was me.
219
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:48,961
But I was wrong.
220
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:53,757
The woman is you.
221
00:18:57,553 --> 00:18:58,929
You are "The Last."
222
00:19:00,055 --> 00:19:02,391
The Last Daughter of Uppsala.
223
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:11,942
-[bells tolling in distance]
-[indistinct chatter]
224
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:38,510
All hail King Canute!
225
00:19:39,303 --> 00:19:41,680
Ruler of Denmark and England!
226
00:19:41,763 --> 00:19:43,557
[all] All hail!
227
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:48,395
I have chosen to remain here
in England as your king.
228
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:53,025
As uncomfortable as that thought may be,
229
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:57,863
I have brought you here
to convince you that this is a good thing.
230
00:19:57,946 --> 00:19:58,947
First,
231
00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:04,411
I plan to restore your lands and titles
232
00:20:05,245 --> 00:20:08,373
and promise no more
Viking raids upon your kingdoms.
233
00:20:09,499 --> 00:20:14,546
Second, I will rebuild the bridge,
better… [chuckles]
234
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:16,715
…and stronger than before.
235
00:20:17,674 --> 00:20:22,971
Finally, I intend to forge
a great empire of the north
236
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:28,727
whose shield will bring you peace
and whose wealth we will all enjoy.
237
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:34,274
I have also decided
to rule alongside Edmund,
238
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,526
your chosen king,
239
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:39,821
whom I will support.
240
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,741
These are my offerings.
241
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:46,036
But dependent on one thing…
242
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:50,332
loyalty.
243
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:54,086
Now, it is my experience
244
00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:58,590
that loyalty can be obtained in two ways.
245
00:20:58,674 --> 00:20:59,675
One way
246
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:01,635
is painful.
247
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:04,763
The other…
248
00:21:06,473 --> 00:21:07,474
[ring clinks]
249
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:12,229
Fulfilling.
250
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:14,731
The choice is yours.
251
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:28,495
Your Highness. I am Cyneheard,
252
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:30,872
Ealdorman of Kent.
253
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:36,336
I pledge my loyalty to you.
254
00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:38,380
I give you my oath.
255
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:41,008
[Canute] Ah, yes, Cyneheard.
256
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:43,051
I met your wife.
257
00:21:44,928 --> 00:21:48,015
Rise and return to your shire
258
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:50,267
and your wife.
259
00:21:51,893 --> 00:21:52,978
If she will take you.
260
00:21:53,729 --> 00:21:55,188
[people laughing]
261
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:02,070
Your Highness, Wulfhere,
Ealdorman of Sussex.
262
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:05,991
Your Highness. I too, pledge my loyalty.
263
00:22:12,622 --> 00:22:14,833
[Godwin] Ealdorman Oswick of East Anglia.
264
00:22:18,211 --> 00:22:20,255
-[instruments rattling]
-[drums beating]
265
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:23,342
[people chanting]
266
00:22:28,096 --> 00:22:29,222
[breathing heavily]
267
00:23:02,798 --> 00:23:04,716
[grave instrumental music playing]
268
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:21,441
[breathing heavily]
269
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:35,997
[shudders]
270
00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:38,667
[groans]
271
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:39,918
[breathing heavily]
272
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:54,182
[both grunting]
273
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:00,230
[horn blowing in distance]
274
00:24:00,313 --> 00:24:01,731
[Shield-maiden in English] Good.
275
00:24:04,317 --> 00:24:05,527
The fleet is returning.
276
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:06,987
[excited chatter]
277
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:12,284
[both chuckle]
278
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:15,120
[horn blows]
279
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:17,789
[indistinct chatter]
280
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:20,500
[Freydis] Leif!
281
00:24:22,043 --> 00:24:23,336
Leif!
282
00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:27,257
You're alive!
283
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:28,300
[Freydis chuckles]
284
00:24:29,342 --> 00:24:30,427
You're alive!
285
00:24:30,510 --> 00:24:31,470
[Leif chuckles]
286
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:34,473
[both chuckle]
287
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:36,725
[kisses]
288
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:38,643
What is this?
289
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:40,770
[chuckles] There's much to tell you.
290
00:24:42,355 --> 00:24:43,231
Njal?
291
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:46,693
Skarde?
292
00:24:46,776 --> 00:24:48,612
[melancholy music playing]
293
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:52,324
And Ulf.
294
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,204
Then Yrsa and Toke
are not alone in Valhalla.
295
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:01,750
Oh.
296
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:07,506
[Freydis sniffles]
297
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:12,135
[Liv sighs]
298
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,262
It's just us now.
299
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,601
Come, you must be tired from your journey.
300
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:41,248
[thuds]
301
00:25:44,167 --> 00:25:47,337
A gift from the new King of England.
302
00:25:52,467 --> 00:25:53,426
And me.
303
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,345
King Canute intends to stay?
304
00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:56,471
He does.
305
00:25:57,055 --> 00:26:00,642
And he promises to make me
the next King of Norway.
306
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:02,602
And what is expected of me?
307
00:26:03,186 --> 00:26:08,567
You are an example for us all.
Leader of a powerful, open kingdom.
308
00:26:10,485 --> 00:26:14,489
Jarl Haakon, I need your support.
309
00:26:24,165 --> 00:26:26,543
And what about your brother?
310
00:26:28,628 --> 00:26:31,965
Jarl Olaf does not have
the blessing of King Canute.
311
00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:33,675
Does he know that?
312
00:26:34,384 --> 00:26:35,802
Not my problem.
313
00:26:35,885 --> 00:26:37,929
But it is a problem.
314
00:26:38,013 --> 00:26:39,681
[intense music playing]
315
00:27:08,835 --> 00:27:10,170
[Olaf] Queen Aelfgifu.
316
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:13,715
I'm returning home from England.
317
00:27:13,798 --> 00:27:17,177
I beg your permission
for my fleet to resupply in your harbor
318
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:19,220
before continuing our journey.
319
00:27:19,304 --> 00:27:21,473
Jarl Olaf, you're welcome.
320
00:27:22,932 --> 00:27:24,684
What news have you of my husband?
321
00:27:25,769 --> 00:27:27,562
He is alive and well, Your Highness,
322
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:30,357
and successful in his conquest of England.
323
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,276
Praise God. And when will he return?
324
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:35,987
That I do not know.
325
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:39,282
When I left,
his intention was to remain in England.
326
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:41,409
Remain?
327
00:27:43,536 --> 00:27:46,081
Forgive me, Your Highness,
328
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:49,000
I thought he had told you his plan.
329
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,127
[sighs]
330
00:27:54,047 --> 00:27:55,215
[woman] Come with me.
331
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:09,771
Why?
332
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:13,233
He has assumed the crown of England.
333
00:28:13,316 --> 00:28:14,776
Which means I am Queen.
334
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:19,447
And a wonderful queen you would be.
335
00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:23,535
What is it that you're not telling me?
336
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,121
England already has a queen.
337
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:27,956
King Æthelred's widow.
338
00:28:32,752 --> 00:28:33,962
She is very beautiful
339
00:28:34,921 --> 00:28:39,217
and, uh, has become close to your husband.
340
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:41,928
Very close.
341
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:45,807
Before I left, there was even
rumors of marriage.
342
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:48,435
A shame too.
343
00:28:49,102 --> 00:28:50,812
She's a Norman.
344
00:28:53,648 --> 00:28:55,775
And you are a Mercian,
345
00:28:57,777 --> 00:29:00,864
the least secure of the English shires.
346
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:07,245
Why have you really
come to Jelling, Olaf Haraldsson?
347
00:29:07,954 --> 00:29:09,539
Other than to torment me.
348
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:18,298
[Olaf sighs]
349
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:21,676
I wish to rule Norway.
350
00:29:23,261 --> 00:29:25,138
Canute will not permit this.
351
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:28,683
He will call upon his fleet
to join him in challenging me.
352
00:29:29,392 --> 00:29:33,062
I need you to deny him that fleet.
353
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,523
I do not have that power.
354
00:29:36,691 --> 00:29:37,859
On the contrary,
355
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:41,154
you possess more power than you think.
356
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,157
You just have to know how to use it.
357
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,328
[indistinct chatter]
358
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,082
Jarl Haakon sent us to Uppsala.
359
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:54,501
[Liv] To Uppsala?
360
00:29:54,584 --> 00:29:56,878
Is it like in the stories
we heard growing up?
361
00:29:58,296 --> 00:29:59,547
It's better.
362
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:03,051
Temples as high as the sky
with golden rooftops
363
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,345
and hundreds of the faithful.
364
00:30:06,554 --> 00:30:08,306
But it is threatened by Christians.
365
00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:12,310
So, this is your new mission.
366
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,272
What I have seen has changed me.
367
00:30:17,732 --> 00:30:19,442
I cannot leave Kattegat now,
368
00:30:21,027 --> 00:30:22,529
and I hope you will stay too.
369
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,409
-We stay.
-That makes me so happy.
370
00:30:29,410 --> 00:30:32,413
-It's so good to have you here with me.
-Oh, and you with us.
371
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:36,209
We should check on the boats.
372
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:49,764
Look at you.
373
00:30:51,099 --> 00:30:52,600
You're no longer a hunter.
374
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:53,852
You're a warrior.
375
00:30:57,772 --> 00:30:58,982
Much has changed.
376
00:31:00,316 --> 00:31:01,317
Tell me.
377
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:06,573
My friends were killed
by a Christian Jarl named Kåre.
378
00:31:08,783 --> 00:31:10,034
I've heard of him.
379
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:12,912
He's a zealot and a crazy man, Freydis.
380
00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:16,958
If he killed innocents,
he must be punished.
381
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:21,337
He will be.
382
00:31:25,925 --> 00:31:28,094
Not every Christian is bad, Freydis.
383
00:31:28,803 --> 00:31:31,055
All religions have flaws. Yours and mine.
384
00:31:33,766 --> 00:31:35,393
If they are both so flawed,
385
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:38,229
why don't we stay with our own Gods?
386
00:31:38,938 --> 00:31:40,440
My grandfather converted
387
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:43,902
so he could pass the crown
through our family without bloodshed.
388
00:31:43,985 --> 00:31:45,653
That's not a belief in anything.
389
00:31:46,988 --> 00:31:50,074
What about all of us
that will never be king?
390
00:31:51,284 --> 00:31:52,619
Where does that leaves us?
391
00:31:57,248 --> 00:31:58,166
I thought so.
392
00:32:01,961 --> 00:32:03,421
[indistinct chatter]
393

[both chuckle]
395
00:32:21,189 --> 00:32:24,859
Hail Prince Harald and Leif Eriksson,
396
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:28,613
the heroes of London!
397
00:32:28,696 --> 00:32:30,490
[all cheering]
398
00:32:30,573 --> 00:32:35,411
West over water they fared
to tear the English crown
399
00:32:35,495 --> 00:32:37,789
-from the head of Æthelred.
-[Leif chuckles]
400

[all cheering]
401
00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:42,585
Or was it the head from the crown?
402

[all cheering]
403
00:32:43,836 --> 00:32:46,839
By the man
that brought London bridge down!
404
00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:47,924
[all cheering]
405
00:32:48,007 --> 00:32:49,467
Guilty!
406
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:54,305
And this Prince of Greenland,
across oceans he went,
407
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:57,934
to face hundreds of men
in the village of Kent!
408
00:32:58,017 --> 00:33:01,354
-[all cheering]
-Hundreds? More like thousands.
409
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:03,731
Get your story right, Skalde.
410
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:07,777
I think you better get up
and tell it then.
411
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:09,487
[men chanting] Up! Up! Up!
412
00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:11,656
Up! Up! Up! Up!

-[chanting continues]
-[pounding on tables]
417
00:33:26,754 --> 00:33:27,755
No!
418
00:33:28,756 --> 00:33:32,218
The story I want to tell is not of me.
419
00:33:33,928 --> 00:33:35,596
It belongs to a group of friends.
420
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:38,349
The Greenlanders.
421
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,644
Leif Eriksson.
422
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:44,397
My friend.
423
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:47,775
My brother.
424
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:52,030
Captain through the storms
of wind and mutiny.
425
00:33:52,113 --> 00:33:53,614
[men] Yeah.
426
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:57,535
He settled rough waters
and made the passage calm.
427
00:33:58,745 --> 00:33:59,746
Brother.
428
00:34:00,955 --> 00:34:06,586
And Liv, who left her blood in the river
along with the bridge!
429
00:34:06,669 --> 00:34:08,337
[all] Yeah!
430
00:34:08,421 --> 00:34:09,797
[Harald] This is her story too.
431
00:34:11,299 --> 00:34:15,636
As it is Ulf's, Njal's and Skarde's.
432
00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:21,434
Greenlanders who came
to pay a debt for one,
433
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:24,854
but stayed to save us all.
434
00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:30,151
They met Syn in Odin's Great Hall,
435
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:33,362
and she welcomed them into Valhalla.
436
00:34:33,446 --> 00:34:34,781
[men] Yes!
437
00:34:35,948 --> 00:34:37,825
[Harald] They are
the true heroes of London.
438
00:34:38,451 --> 00:34:42,455
-They are who we celebrate tonight.
-[all] Yes!
439
00:34:42,538 --> 00:34:43,998
For without the Greenlanders,
440
00:34:44,832 --> 00:34:46,918
London Bridge would still be standing,
441
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:49,462
but we would not.
442
00:34:52,006 --> 00:34:56,094
-The Greenlanders.
-[all] The Greenlanders!
443
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,762
Skol!
444
00:34:58,346 --> 00:34:59,972
[all] Skol!
445
00:35:00,056 --> 00:35:01,724
[upbeat percussion music playing]
446
00:35:35,842 --> 00:35:37,385
Thank you for what you said.
447
00:35:39,095 --> 00:35:40,429
I spoke the truth.
448
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:42,890
With great honor.
449
00:35:49,647 --> 00:35:50,898
Thank you for this.
450
00:35:52,358 --> 00:35:53,818
It brought me luck.
451
00:35:59,031 --> 00:36:00,575
But you should have it back.
452
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:04,996
Hopefully it brings you fortune
during your test tomorrow.
453
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:08,958

455
00:36:15,464 --> 00:36:17,758
When are you leaving, Greenlander?
456
00:36:17,842 --> 00:36:19,302
What are my plans to you?
457
00:36:19,385 --> 00:36:20,845
[Arne] You are not wanted here.
458
00:36:20,928 --> 00:36:24,682
My family has heard how you
killed my father to save a Christian.
459
00:36:26,058 --> 00:36:28,394
Did you tell them
how he murdered one of my crew?
460
00:36:29,061 --> 00:36:30,813
They should know the whole truth.
461
00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:33,482
Before you ask them to do
what you are afraid to.
462
00:36:34,358 --> 00:36:35,234
[chuckles softly]
463
00:36:47,246 --> 00:36:49,081
[both grunting]
464
00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:56,464
[Arne] He's no hero!
465
00:36:57,506 --> 00:37:01,969
He's a Christian lover
and probably a Christian himself!
466
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:05,014
[Shield-maiden] Leave before I banish you.
467
00:37:09,435 --> 00:37:11,229
[upbeat percussion music continues]
468
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:23,532
[Godwin] His Highness is expecting me.
469
00:37:23,616 --> 00:37:25,534
No one is to enter. Order of the king.
470
00:37:26,118 --> 00:37:27,411
This is important.
471
00:37:28,162 --> 00:37:29,622
[guard] He's with Queen Emma.
472
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,333
Alone?

Contemplating an exit?
477
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,430
No, Your Highness.
478
00:38:29,056 --> 00:38:31,434
Just contemplating
how quickly power shifts.
479
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,694
At least you have relevance in this court.
480
00:38:41,777 --> 00:38:43,029
And you do not?
481
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:45,239
I'm a cipher.
482
00:38:46,782 --> 00:38:48,659
A stranger in my own country.
483
00:38:49,285 --> 00:38:51,454
You are the hereditary King of England.
484
00:38:51,537 --> 00:38:53,164
Voted to power by its nobles.
485
00:38:53,247 --> 00:38:55,875
Who have sworn their allegiance to Canute.
486
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:57,376
With no army to support him,
487
00:38:57,918 --> 00:39:00,629
he is dependent upon you
to maintain their loyalty.
488
00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:06,635
This is our lot, Your Highness.
489
00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:09,638
At least for a while.
490
00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:13,225
Are you suggesting something?
491
00:39:14,894 --> 00:39:16,145
I'm suggesting nothing.
492
00:39:18,981 --> 00:39:20,149

I promise on Odin
to protect Kattegat to the death.

This.

But I should give it back.

00:47:28,887 --> 00:47:31,014
[Seer] What do you run from, boy?
555
00:47:31,098 --> 00:47:33,851
My brother. They killed him.
556
00:47:35,185 --> 00:47:36,103
Oh.
557
00:47:49,324 --> 00:47:51,243
[Kåre breathing heavily]
558
00:47:57,332 --> 00:47:59,668
The same frightened boy.
559
00:47:59,751 --> 00:48:00,794
No.
560
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,255
Not frightened.
561
00:48:04,298 --> 00:48:07,759
Empowered… by the one true God.
562
00:48:08,427 --> 00:48:10,262
But here nonetheless.
563
00:48:13,056 --> 00:48:15,475
"As the sword is carried by the cross."
564
00:48:16,310 --> 00:48:17,519
"Much blood."
565
00:48:18,812 --> 00:48:21,440
"Pouring like fountains."
566
00:48:21,523 --> 00:48:22,816
You remember.
567
00:48:23,775 --> 00:48:27,946
Now you want to know, is it your cross
who holds the sword or hers?
568
00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:36,288
Even Christians can't resist picking
my bones for a glimpse of their destiny.
569
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:46,506
[shudders]
570
00:48:59,978 --> 00:49:04,316
Now, are you sure you want the truth?
571
00:49:13,408 --> 00:49:15,160
[intense music playing]
572
00:49:23,001 --> 00:49:25,545
"Never before had there been
a king like Josiah,
573
00:49:26,213 --> 00:49:29,299
who turned to God
with all his heart and soul."
574
00:49:33,595 --> 00:49:35,764
"In the name of Christ our Lord,
575
00:49:35,847 --> 00:49:40,060
he slayed the priests
of the Pagan shrines on their own altars."
576
00:49:40,143 --> 00:49:40,978
[grunts]
577
00:49:43,689 --> 00:49:45,148
"Because cursed is he
578
00:49:45,774 --> 00:49:49,778
who keeps his sword from bloodshed
in the name of God."
579
00:49:52,948 --> 00:49:53,824
"Amen."
580
00:50:09,715 --> 00:50:10,632
[knock on door]
581
00:50:32,112 --> 00:50:33,405
I'm sorry, Canute.
582
00:50:34,281 --> 00:50:36,074
A boat just arrived from Denmark.
583
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:39,411
[puts ax down]
584
00:50:47,461 --> 00:50:49,463
[grave instrumental music playing]
585
00:50:54,801 --> 00:50:55,761
[paper rustles]
586
00:51:05,228 --> 00:51:09,691
Summon a priest
and prepare my ship for departure.
587
00:51:13,487 --> 00:51:15,030
[music increases in tempo]
588
00:51:28,710 --> 00:51:29,669
What is it?
589
00:51:32,881 --> 00:51:34,257
I must ask you a question.
590
00:51:35,759 --> 00:51:36,760
Please…
591
00:51:39,096 --> 00:51:40,263
answer carefully.
592
00:51:45,477 --> 00:51:47,312
[theme music playing]
