RAGNAR:
Previously on Vikings...

-What is your name?
-Yidu.

(SCREAMING)

Who sent you?
Who sent you?

My destiny is to be with you.

I am prepared to defend
Paris to the death.

(ARROWS WHOOSHING)

You have betrayed
your own kind!

I came to deliver
my precious son into your hands.

Teach him to be a Viking.

AELLE: I see some gross
and indecent familiarity

between you
and your father-in-law.

You don't own me, Father,
nor does any man.

HARALD: My name is Harald,

but my people call me
King Finehair.

Why have you come here?

I'm making myself
King of all Norway!

ASLAUG: In order to become
King of all Norway,

you would have
to overthrow my husband.

-(ARROW WHOOSHING)
-(VASE SHATTERING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

That was impressive.

I modified
the Frankish weapon.

It has a much
greater range now.

The Franks will not expect to be
attacked by their own weapon.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
Freyr, we summon you.

(CHANTING)

We summon you.

With the blood of this
sacrifice, now is the time.

ALL: Ahhh!

(WEAPONS CLINKING)

Bjorn must have
murdered our Berserker.

-It's a pity.
-It doesn't matter.

Really? How can you say so?

Because we have eyes
in Ragnar's household.

Anything we need to know,
we'll find out.

Bjorn's weakness.
Ragnar's weakness.

The time to strike.

-Through Torvi?
-Of course, through Torvi.

Otherwise,
I'll kill her child.

She knows I'll do it, too!

(GRUNTS)

-(WEAPONS CLINKING)
-(GRUNTS)

WOMAN: (IN DISTANCE) Ahhh!

Lagertha must never know
what we did.

(STRUGGLING)

Who would tell her? Hmm?

What were you
two talking about?

Erlendur was telling me

how he has forgiven Torvi
for leaving him.

-Really?
-Hmm.

LAGERTHA: That young man
still surprises me sometimes.

I, too, have a surprise.

I am with child.

(CHUCKLES)

-That makes me so very happy.
-Me too.

More than I can say.

Although it is
still early days.

Marry me, Lagertha. Marry me.

I have always known that
we were fated to be together.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Lagertha?

-I'm sorry.
-Don't be sorry.

Don't ever be sorry.

Say that you'll marry me.

-(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
-(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Who is he?

(SIGHS) You heard.

He's a king.

From Tamdrup,
wherever that is.

-And you trust him?
-No!

I don't trust him either.

(THUDDING)

Why do you not care
for your daughter, Siggy?

(BOAT CREAKING)

I care for her.

She just reminds me
of things I'd rather forget.

What kind of man

takes a mother
away from her child?

(ROPE THUDDING)

You tell me.

You tried to take me
away from my mother.

That is not the way it went.

If you remember,
your mother left me.

You left me.

It is not easy being a father.

It is even harder
being a husband.

Maybe I have failed at both.

No.

VIKING 5: I need a bit more
slack on the sail.

(WHISPERS) I have definitely
failed at being a husband.

-(CHUCKLES)
-VIKING 4: Need a hand?

VIKING 5: Take more than that.

VIKING 4: No, three will do.

-VIKING 5: Bring it here.
-Where do you think?

(PADDLES THUDDING)

VIKING 3: Why would we?

VIKING 5: Oil these oars!

How many boats
and men do you have?

WOMAN: More? No, take more. Take
one more. I will go get one.

-Do you have enough?
-Twenty boats.

About 600 men.

I told Ragnar
mine is a small kingdom

for now.

VIKING 1:
Better for the night.

And when will they arrive?

They must already
be on their way.

My brother Halfdan
is bringing them.

VIKING 3: Bring him on board.
Can you fill these?

-Is your brother like you?
-No.

He's much worse.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING) He's much worse!

You have such ambitions.

What else is there?

What are we here for
except to achieve fame,

just like your father?

Isn't that what
you want too, Bjorn Lothbrok?

-Be honest.
-You don't know me.

And fame

won't make
your small kingdom any bigger.

SENTRY: Rider!

(SHEEP BLEATING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN: How many are there?

-(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
-(SWORDS CLINKING)

Open the gates!

Werferth.

We are met to decide
how to deal with Mercia.

Now, I am almost decided
that the only way now

is a full-scale invasion
of their kingdom.

And, yet, if there were
some other way

of restoring Queen
Kwenthrith to her throne,

I think we must explore it.

Have you any more idea
of the identity

of the nobleman
you knew as "W"?

Let me help you please, Sire.

The warring factions
of my kingdom

are always known by the first
letter of their leader's name.

"W" stands for Wigstan.

He has royal blood,
as well as being

one of the most powerful
warlords in Mercia.

Yet he is obviously not part
of the Ruling Council.

No, Wigstan
would find it unbearable

to belong to any group.

His interests
are always personal.

-Then you don't trust him?
-Trust him?

(CHUCKLES) My Lord,

no one should
ever trust Wigstan!

So there is
no dealing with him?

Absolutely not!
The only way forward,

the only choice now,

is for both of you noble kings

to raise your armies
and invade Mercia

and rid my kingdom

of all the factions
who want to ruin me!

Me! The only legitimate ruler

of that poor, ravaged,
raped and abused land.

I agree with the Queen.

There is no other choice now.

ECBERT: Huh.

So it seems.

Very well.
We shall take your advice.

(WHIP SNAPPING)

(MUTTERING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Wife,

come to bed.

I said...

No.

Why not?

I don't want to.

(EXHALES DEEPLY) Very well.

(VOICE CRACKING)
Then go sleep with my father,

(LOUDLY) you whore!

Yes, yes, and why don't you
go and sleep

with your mistress, the Queen.

Gives you another reason
to flagellate yourself!

-(GROANS)
-Go on. Hit me.

Hit me if it pleases
you, husband.

But it makes no difference,
either to you or me.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You are husband to me

in name only,
as I am wife to you.

But you're otherwise free
to do as you will.

(SIGHS)

(SNIFFS)

(AETHELWULF EXHALES)

(EXHALING DEEPLY)

-(EXHALES)
-(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)

(DOOR CLOSES)

-We had an argument.
-Aethelwulf?

He called me your whore,

which I am
and have freely chosen to be.

Do you want me to leave?

(HOWLING IN DISTANCE)

(PAPERS RUSTLING)

(DRAWER OPENING)

This was my wife's ring.

My wife died in childbirth.

I cannot tell
you the pain of it.

And I was resolved

never to marry again.

But I would like you

to wear it

if you will.

-(BELL RINGING)
-(DRUM MUSIC PLAYING)

ODO: The forts
have been built

according to your instructions,
Your Grace.

Eventually there will be
an iron chain

which can be raised between
them to prevent the passage

of any boat upriver.

We should still place some
boats beyond this barrier,

in case they break through.

ODO: Hopefully they will
be unable to do so.

ROLLO: You don't know
my people like I do.

They don't recognize
any barriers,

except as obstacles
to be overcome.

ODO: What has become clear
to both the Emperor and myself

is that, if we were to lose
Paris, we would lose everything.

For then the enemy
would command the Marne,

the Seine,
and the Yonne rivers,

and the country would
lie open as far as Reims.

ROLLO: We must hold Paris
whatever the cost.

There is no alternative.
No other choice.

When my brother returns,
everything will be decided here.

(POURING)

I cannot wait to take control
of my northern lands

and set up my own court.

You have some business
here first, remember?

Some family business.

ROLLO: I know.

A man can dream, can he not,

of dancing naked on the sand?

In any case,
my father needs you.

He needs a strong man
to support him and to guide him.

-(SIGHS) He has Count Odo.
-I don't like Count Odo.

Nor do I trust him.

Of course, it's possible

that he could die
in the fighting.

Slain by some
unknown assailant.

And then the Emperor would just
have to rely more on you.

Only a coward

(INHALES)

kills a man

by stabbing him in the back.

That is what
a Viking would say!

But you are no longer
a Viking.

In Frankia, we do
certain things differently.

That is something
you'll have to learn, my love.

(CHUCKLES) Something you'll
certainly have to learn.

(BELLS RINGING IN DISTANCE)

(BELLS CONTINUE)

(MEN TALKING SOFTLY)

(DOORS CLOSING)

CHARLES: You asked
for a private audience.

Why?

Your Highness, forgive me,

I am reluctant
to discuss matters

which relate
directly to my superior.

CHARLES: You mean Count Odo?

Then absolve yourself
of any guilt

and just say
what you have to say.

Highness, I am troubled

that you always
trust his word.

Why?

Should... Should I not
trust his word?

Because he is not
always worth believing.

Why, pray,
is he not worth believing?

Because he is ambitious.

Ambitious beyond ambitious.

So that even
an Emperor's crown

would not sit
untidily upon his head.

(BIRDS SHRIEKING IN DISTANCE)

An Emperor's crown?

I cannot believe it!

What... What are you saying?

(SHOUTING) Do...
Do you have any proof of this?

I have the word
of his mistress.

And, as your Highness knows,

a man will always divulge
the truth first to his mistress,

and only afterwards,

(CHUCKLES) if at all,
to his wife.

Very well.

Let me talk to his mistress.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

CHARLES: For God's sake!

How should I trust
the evidence of this woman?

Because this
woman is my sister.

CHARLES: Is it true?

-Yes, Your Highness.
-And?

Does Count Odo talk
freely of his ambitions?

Yes, he does.

Very freely.

His ambition

(STUTTERING) to replace me?

To become

Emperor?

Yes, exactly.

His ambition
to become Emperor.

Then...

Then I beg you,

(STUTTERING) please,

stay close, to Count Odo.

Report to me anything which
might signal his treachery.

Now, go! Leave me!

(SOBBING IN DISTANCE)

(CHUCKLES)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(BIRD CHITTERING)

(SIGHS)

(CHITTERING CONTINUES)

Is this how you looked?

Yes.

Though my hair
was much shorter.

What is the name
of your kingdom?

China.

And who rules it?

The Emperor Dezong,
of the Tang Dynasty.

I want to know
about your father.

My father was a... A merchant.

Well respected.

Rich enough to own a boat.

What about the Emperor?
Tell me about him.

The Emperor had
many daughters...

Hmm.

...with his wives
and concubines.

His concubines
were looked after

by the palace eunuchs.

-Eunuchs?
-Men who are not men.

Why are they not men?

Their manhood was cut off.

-I don't like that.
-No.

They didn't like it either.

(YIDU SNICKERS)

(CHUCKLES)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISPERS) Are you one
of the Emperor's daughters?

(EXHALES)

-My father was a merchant.
-I know.

You told me that before.

I don't know you.
And you don't know me.

Yet I want to tell you
my most terrible secret.

-Do you want to hear it?
-Yes.

Mmm-hmm?

-I can share your burden.
-Mmm.

I am small,
but I have broad shoulders

and I am not afraid.

I will tell you when you tell me
the truth about your father.

-(GRUNTS)
-(GASPS)

All right.

Then give me
more of that medicine.

(BIRD CHITTERING)

(CHOPPING)

(DOORS CREAKING)

So we are agreed, we'll raise
an army and attack Mercia.

There is no alternative,
my Lord Aelle.

Not if we wish to see Queen
Kwenthrith

placed once more
upon the throne.

(HORSES NEIGHING)

Travel safely, my Lord.

You are the best of allies.

AELLE: I'm a simple man
at heart,

but full of conviction.

ECBERT: Your convictions,
do you credit.

Farewell, my child.

Take heed
of what I've told you.

I will always
listen to you, Father.

But also to my own conscience,
and weigh such things

in the balance,
as it pleases you.

It does not always please me.

But enough!
Women are frail.

Farewell, children.

Remember your duties,
say your prayers,

and banish the Devil
from your thoughts.

Such good advice,
my Lord Aelle.

Farewell.

KWENTHRITH: King Ecbert?
MAN: Front King's Guard!

-Yes, Queen Kwenthrith?
-MAN: All men forward!

MAN: Move out!

I need to know
that I can trust you.

That you will do
what you promised me.

Why would you doubt me?

You've heard me speak
plainly and in public.

I doubt you
for one reason only.

And that is that you and I
are somewhat alike.

Then do not judge
yourself too harshly.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR CREAK OPEN)

Lord,

you know me for a sinner.

And I think
you have already decided

to cast me out
into the darkness,

like a fallen angel,
to suffer in purgatory,

or the fires of hell,
for all eternity.

Think you, Lord,

that I can look upon
such scenes with equanimity?

That I do not dream,
in the dead of night,

of returning to your light
and the promises of heaven?

Am I not a man
like other men?

(WIND HOWLING)

And yet,

I would sup with the Devil
if he would show me

how to achieve
my earthly goals.

Your kingdom, Lord,
as you have said,

is not of this world,
but my kingdom is.

(FIRE CRACKLING)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

-(HORN BLOWING)
-(CHATTERING)

Bjorn Ironside,
come and sit with me.

We should talk to one another.

You don't trust me.

I have no reason to trust you.

You have told me
of your ambitions.

(SNIFFS)

I will never give you
any cause to kill me.

(SCOFFS)

That is not for you to say.

I may find cause
where others may not.

Who knows?

(DRUM MUSIC STARTS PLAYING)

But for now anyway,

we are allies.

And we shall go
together to Paris.

And we shall fight together.
Is it not so?

You and Ragnar need
my warriors. You need my ships.

I can't wait for Paris,
Bjorn Ironside.

I cannot wait.

We shall destroy
those Christian folk!

They have seen nothing yet.

We are the masters now!

-Is it not so?
-ALL MEN: Yes! Yeah!

-Is it not so?
-ALL MEN: Yes!

(EPIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(HORNS BLOWING)

MAN 1: A boat's come in!
MAN 2: They're here!

MAN 3: Bring him in!
MAN 4: Over here!

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

(CHEERING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

-Brother.
-Brother!

This is Kattegat!
This is Kattegat.

Come.

(KNIFE THUDS)

(KNIFE THUDS)

King Ragnar,

this is my brother Halfdan.

Meet the notorious
King Ragnar.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

HALFDAN: It's a great honor.

When do we sail for Paris?

-You seem eager to fight.
-Yes, it's true.

Not just for the sake
of fighting,

but for the beauty of it.

And against
the Christians, yes.

I hate the Christians.

In the name of Odin,
I would kill them all.

You'll have the opportunity
to kill a great number of them

once we reach Paris.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

(KNIVES THUDDING)

-(CHEERING AND LAUGHING)
-WOMAN: Faster!

-Argh!
-(LAUGHING)

(DRUMS PLAYING)

(BUCKET SPLASHING)

(SHOUTING AND LAUGHING)

(SHOUTING AND
LAUGHING CONTINUE)

They'll be wondering
where you are.

I doubt it.

(SIGHS)

-What are you thinking about?
-Paris.

You must be excited
to be going back.

(SOFTLY) No.

I feel so old.

When I was young
I had the passion to win,

but now, with age
and all that comes with it,

I have lost the desire.

And the strength.

A few years ago
I established a settlement

in a distant country
where I took

many of my people
and friends

to make a new life
for themselves.

But shortly after my departure,
they were all slaughtered.

Their homes
destroyed and burned.

I live with such guilt
because of it.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

(SIGHS)

And nobody knows.

My father's the Emperor.

(LAUGHS)

-(SHOUTING AND LAUGHING)
-(MUSIC CONTINUES)

They say he left Kattegat
a boy and came back a man.

Killed a bear
with his bare hands.

-With his own hands?
-Hmm.

(MUSIC STOPS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Who is that?

It is Floki,
the boat builder.

For some reason
no one will tell me,

he has fallen out
with King Ragnar.

Ask him.

HALFDAN: Floki. Boat builder.

Sit down with us.

Yes, Floki. Sit down.
Make room.

Both of you join us.

-Fill the horns.
-Sup.

This is
my younger brother, Halfdan.

-He's keen to know you.
-All right.

So, you are the genius
that built the boats

that changed our world, and
helped made Ragnar so famous!

Why would he fall out
with someone like you?

Because I killed
his pet Christian.

-Floki!
-(CHUCKLES)

Skol.

To new friendships.

Skol!

Skol!

(SOFTLY) Skol.

(WATER TRICKLING)

(EXHALES)

(WATER SPLASHING)

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

-My turn!
-Here, catch it!

(GIGGLING)

Mine!

(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

Ivar, do you want to play?

CHILD: Got it!

CHILD: It's mine,
give it back!

Now you go!

CHILD: Here! To me!

Throw it!

Here! Give it here!

-Not to him.
-CHILD: No, you...

Higher!

My turn! To me!

Come on! Here!

(STRAINING)

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

Do not be afraid.

It's not your fault.

(WHISPERS)
Everything is all right.

Everything will be all right.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

(WOMEN CHATTERING)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(WOMEN LAUGHING)

What is that?

Can I see?

-Where did you find this?
-I took it from someone.

Why are you so interested?

-I want to talk to you.
-What about?

Us.

We have moments
when I feel so close to you,

especially
when you're inside me,

but then you don't want to talk,

and I wonder why
you really came for me

and took me away
from my child.

(CHUCKLES)

Torvi.

I talk to you.

By the way,

that was Erlendur's ring.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

He got it from his father,
King Horik.

You look... Lagertha,
you look so beautiful.

This is always
how I imagined this moment.

Wherever I am,
I don't ever want to forget

how you looked
on our wedding day.

(GASPS)

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)

Earl Kalf is dead.
