1
00:00:00,591 --> 00:00:03,424
I was born an
ealdorman of England,

2
00:00:03,427 --> 00:00:06,761
true heir to the Northumbrian
lands of Bebbanburg.

3
00:00:06,764 --> 00:00:09,731
I was 12 years old when
I first went to war.

4
00:00:09,734 --> 00:00:12,234
I saw my father killed.

5
00:00:12,236 --> 00:00:13,769
Stolen by the invaders,

6
00:00:13,771 --> 00:00:15,971
along with a Saxon girl, Brida,

7
00:00:15,973 --> 00:00:18,006
I became, first, a slave,

8
00:00:18,007 --> 00:00:20,574
and then, a son to Earl Ragner.

9
00:00:20,577 --> 00:00:24,478
Fate had made me a Dane,

10
00:00:24,481 --> 00:00:26,714
had made Young
Ragner my brother;

11
00:00:26,716 --> 00:00:29,317
and Brida, my lover.

12
00:00:29,318 --> 00:00:31,553
And then, fate brought betrayal.

13
00:00:31,554 --> 00:00:32,920
Fire!

14
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:38,426
Lies were thrown to the wind,
saying I had killed Ragner,

15
00:00:38,427 --> 00:00:41,262
so, taking his hidden
wealth, we fled south...

16
00:00:43,567 --> 00:00:46,301
To Wessex, to Beocca,

17
00:00:46,302 --> 00:00:48,936
and to the king's
brother Alfred.

18
00:00:48,939 --> 00:00:53,008
Seen by the Danes as a Saxon
and by the Saxons as a Dane,

19
00:00:53,009 --> 00:00:55,476
my word could not be trusted.

20
00:00:55,478 --> 00:00:58,545
But I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred,

21
00:00:58,548 --> 00:01:00,548
and destiny is all.

23
00:01:40,557 --> 00:01:42,656
Stand clear. It is the king.

24
00:01:43,055 --> 00:01:44,609
I have to speak, Lord.

25
00:01:44,885 --> 00:01:46,173
The axe cut deep.

26
00:01:46,174 --> 00:01:47,372
Even a king couldn't
survive that wound.

27
00:01:47,375 --> 00:01:48,674
We shall pray and we shall see.

28
00:01:48,676 --> 00:01:49,810
Move!

29
00:02:02,861 --> 00:02:04,608
WINCHESTER

30
00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:06,850
WINCHESTER
KINGDOM OF WESSEX

31
00:02:10,034 --> 00:02:12,301
Apologies, Lord.

32
00:02:12,304 --> 00:02:14,002
This is the best I could do

33
00:02:14,004 --> 00:02:15,603
without first
speaking to Alfred.

34
00:02:15,605 --> 00:02:17,705
I've brought food and ale

35
00:02:17,707 --> 00:02:19,775
and, more importantly,
good news.

36
00:02:19,776 --> 00:02:21,911
Alfred is dead?

37
00:02:21,913 --> 00:02:23,646
The opposite.

38
00:02:23,647 --> 00:02:25,147
He is alive and
he is victorious.

39
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:28,384
We defeated the Danes.

40
00:02:29,954 --> 00:02:31,620
Why is this good news?

41
00:02:31,622 --> 00:02:33,021
Alfred acted upon your advice.

42
00:02:33,024 --> 00:02:34,590
You share in his glory.

43
00:02:34,591 --> 00:02:35,858
Glory?

44
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:39,295
Then why is he caged and
left to shit in the corner?

45
00:02:39,296 --> 00:02:40,596
You call that glory?

46
00:02:40,598 --> 00:02:42,764
Can she not hold her tongue
for just one moment?

47
00:02:42,766 --> 00:02:44,500
No, she cannot!

48
00:02:44,502 --> 00:02:46,602
And she will not!

49
00:02:46,603 --> 00:02:48,603
Keep your food! I don't want it!

50
00:02:48,605 --> 00:02:50,673
I won't eat or drink
until I'm set free!

51
00:02:50,675 --> 00:02:52,008
Only Alfred can
order your release!

52
00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:53,908
I will speak with him!

53
00:02:53,911 --> 00:02:55,243
You should spend
this time, girl,

54
00:02:55,246 --> 00:02:57,045
to contemplate your improvement.

55
00:02:57,048 --> 00:02:59,581
I will use this time

56
00:02:59,584 --> 00:03:01,183
to curse you.

57
00:03:01,186 --> 00:03:02,518
Then do it.

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,021
Alfred refused my sword.

59
00:03:06,024 --> 00:03:08,324
I won't be offering it
again, unless he begs.

60
00:03:08,325 --> 00:03:10,860
Lord, sometimes I wonder
whether your pigheadedness

61
00:03:10,861 --> 00:03:13,628
is not simple stupidity.

62
00:03:13,631 --> 00:03:14,864
He will send for you
when he has scraped

63
00:03:14,865 --> 00:03:16,799
the mud and blood from his mail.

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,835
We will give thanks to
Odin for our deliverance.

65
00:03:19,836 --> 00:03:21,971
Do that.

66
00:03:21,973 --> 00:03:24,039
We are Danes!

67
00:03:24,042 --> 00:03:26,542
Show respect!

68
00:03:26,544 --> 00:03:29,944
Do it again, and I will
cut you, prick to throat.

69
00:03:33,418 --> 00:03:36,752
What is it?

70
00:03:36,753 --> 00:03:39,021
I couldn't wait to see you.

71
00:03:39,024 --> 00:03:42,991
I was told you were safe,
but I needed proof.

72
00:03:42,993 --> 00:03:45,093
Here it is.

73
00:03:47,331 --> 00:03:49,465
Leave us. My wife will help me.

74
00:03:49,466 --> 00:03:50,699
My Lord.

75
00:03:53,871 --> 00:03:55,771
My privilege.

76
00:03:59,444 --> 00:04:01,943
Ensure it is repaired, and well.

77
00:04:01,945 --> 00:04:05,781
I'd be a lost fool without you.

78
00:04:11,556 --> 00:04:13,021
Fingers and thumbs.

79
00:04:21,598 --> 00:04:23,365
Who knocks?

80
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:25,334
My Lord.

81
00:04:25,336 --> 00:04:28,737
My lady, forgive me.

82
00:04:28,738 --> 00:04:30,072
I was hoping for a moment

83
00:04:30,074 --> 00:04:31,574
to discuss the ealdorman Uhtred.

84
00:04:31,576 --> 00:04:32,908
Father, forgive me,

85
00:04:32,909 --> 00:04:34,810
but my Lord is in need of rest.

86
00:04:34,812 --> 00:04:37,913
He is.

87
00:04:37,915 --> 00:04:40,149
You are.

88
00:04:40,151 --> 00:04:42,151
Forgive me.

89
00:04:48,625 --> 00:04:51,093
Aethelwold, were
you on the hill?

90
00:04:51,096 --> 00:04:53,896
I didn't see you.

91
00:04:53,898 --> 00:04:59,401
I was kept safe with priests.

92
00:05:02,273 --> 00:05:04,973
There will be other battles.

93
00:05:04,975 --> 00:05:06,442
Many.

94
00:05:06,444 --> 00:05:07,476
And on and on it
will go, I'm sure,

95
00:05:07,478 --> 00:05:09,011
'til we're all dead.

96
00:05:09,012 --> 00:05:10,612
Are you saying we
should surrender?

97
00:05:10,615 --> 00:05:12,447
Never.

98
00:05:12,449 --> 00:05:15,184
Never.

99
00:05:15,185 --> 00:05:18,187
But I'm not against compromise.

100
00:05:18,189 --> 00:05:19,555
As much as I love my God,

101
00:05:19,557 --> 00:05:21,790
I'm in no hurry to reach Heaven.

102
00:05:21,792 --> 00:05:24,427
I fear no number of
kneeling clergymen

103
00:05:24,428 --> 00:05:27,596
will change what a heathen's
axe has already decreed.

104
00:05:27,598 --> 00:05:29,197
Our prays should be with
the king's successor,

105
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:30,565
whoever that may be.

106
00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:35,370
The crown is mine,
my birthright.

107
00:05:37,475 --> 00:05:38,973
You disagree?

108
00:05:38,975 --> 00:05:40,675
The argument against you will be

109
00:05:40,677 --> 00:05:43,077
- that you're a young Lord.
- I am my father's heir.

110
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:44,413
Yes, you are your father's heir,

111
00:05:44,415 --> 00:05:48,584
but your father was
also bonded to Alfred.

112
00:05:48,586 --> 00:05:50,552
A son comes before a brother.

113
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:57,759
Then, perhaps, you should
speak to the king directly.

114
00:06:00,564 --> 00:06:03,798
'Tis my thinking, Lord,
that if, on his deathbed,

115
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,201
your father were to name
you as his successor,

116
00:06:06,204 --> 00:06:09,271
the Witan would find it
difficult to go against him.

117
00:06:09,274 --> 00:06:11,807
I believe your father
would only be too happy

118
00:06:11,809 --> 00:06:14,177
to whisper in your ear.

119
00:06:14,178 --> 00:06:16,711
Whether he was conscious or not.

120
00:06:16,713 --> 00:06:21,216
Your counsel will not be
forgotten, Young Odda.

121
00:06:21,218 --> 00:06:22,750
Thank you, Lord.

122
00:06:33,163 --> 00:06:35,064
Guthrum.

123
00:06:35,066 --> 00:06:36,932
You went into battle without me.

124
00:06:36,933 --> 00:06:38,533
Why was that?

125
00:06:38,536 --> 00:06:42,305
That was not the intention.

126
00:06:42,307 --> 00:06:44,807
Is that so?

127
00:06:44,808 --> 00:06:47,343
Then why did it happen?

128
00:06:47,345 --> 00:06:48,711
Let's talk inside.

129
00:06:48,713 --> 00:06:50,713
We will talk here.

130
00:06:50,715 --> 00:06:54,016
They marched sooner
than we expected

131
00:06:54,018 --> 00:06:55,584
and they positioned
themselves well

132
00:06:55,586 --> 00:06:56,819
on the hill.

133
00:06:56,821 --> 00:06:58,153
It will not happen again.

134
00:06:58,154 --> 00:06:59,487
No, it will not happen again,

135
00:06:59,490 --> 00:07:01,857
because you have
lost half your men.

136
00:07:01,858 --> 00:07:05,194
We killed their king, Aethelred.

137
00:07:05,196 --> 00:07:07,629
Did you see him fall?

138
00:07:07,632 --> 00:07:08,930
Yeah, I saw him fall.

139
00:07:08,932 --> 00:07:10,833
He took an axe.

140
00:07:10,834 --> 00:07:12,634
He's dead. We were not beaten.

141
00:07:12,637 --> 00:07:15,403
You want to become
king of Wessex.

142
00:07:15,406 --> 00:07:16,639
I will allow that.

143
00:07:16,641 --> 00:07:19,141
But where's my payment,
my silver, my grain?

144
00:07:19,143 --> 00:07:21,377
It was promised, but
now it has gone.

145
00:07:21,379 --> 00:07:22,778
It's still there.

146
00:07:22,779 --> 00:07:24,547
Danes do not lose.

147
00:07:24,548 --> 00:07:26,180
I am not lost.

148
00:07:26,182 --> 00:07:29,084
You have given them hope,
Guthrum, that is worse.

149
00:07:29,086 --> 00:07:31,420
Without their king,
there is no hope.

150
00:07:35,259 --> 00:07:36,558
If they've defeated the Danes,

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,161
which I won't believe, why
aren't they feasting?

152
00:07:39,163 --> 00:07:41,930
The priest doesn't lie.

153
00:07:41,932 --> 00:07:45,800
Despite him being a priest.

154
00:07:45,802 --> 00:07:48,271
Why are they so different,

155
00:07:48,273 --> 00:07:50,172
so miserable?

156
00:07:50,173 --> 00:07:53,742
God's wish.

157
00:07:53,745 --> 00:07:55,778
I won't become a Saxon woman.

158
00:07:55,779 --> 00:07:57,812
I won't wash, work the
fields 'til I drop,

159
00:07:57,814 --> 00:07:59,148
- and cook.
- It won't come to that.

160
00:07:59,149 --> 00:08:00,449
That won't be my life.

161
00:08:00,451 --> 00:08:01,684
Alfred can help us.

162
00:08:01,685 --> 00:08:03,985
We'll use him...

163
00:08:03,987 --> 00:08:07,689
for shelter, and
then for wealth.

164
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:12,194
He has used you.

165
00:08:12,196 --> 00:08:13,596
And, now, he owes me.

166
00:08:37,455 --> 00:08:38,520
Good morning.

167
00:08:43,994 --> 00:08:46,361
My thanks for last night.

168
00:09:02,413 --> 00:09:04,346
Open the door. I wish
to see my father.

169
00:09:07,217 --> 00:09:12,520
Open the door, or I'll have
your balls for slingshot.

170
00:09:12,523 --> 00:09:14,856
Aethelwold.

171
00:09:14,859 --> 00:09:16,258
I'm here to pray for
my father, the king,

172
00:09:16,259 --> 00:09:17,625
to be at his side.

173
00:09:17,628 --> 00:09:21,062
The king is dead.

174
00:09:21,065 --> 00:09:22,297
Why was I not called?

175
00:09:22,298 --> 00:09:23,532
I should have been at his side.

176
00:09:23,533 --> 00:09:24,767
You could not be found.

177
00:09:24,769 --> 00:09:26,534
I was sleeping in my chamber.

178
00:09:52,263 --> 00:09:53,629
Before he passed,

179
00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:55,663
the king named me as
heir to the throne.

180
00:09:58,536 --> 00:10:02,070
That's what he told me.

181
00:10:02,072 --> 00:10:04,072
It's the truth.

182
00:10:04,073 --> 00:10:06,975
His last wish.

183
00:10:06,976 --> 00:10:09,577
His last command.

184
00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:12,847
You would all do
well to repeat this.

185
00:10:19,289 --> 00:10:21,791
I'll inform the Witan
of your claim.

186
00:10:21,793 --> 00:10:22,857
You should.

187
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:25,126
Although each person
here, and more,

188
00:10:25,129 --> 00:10:28,864
heard your father bequeath
his crown to Alfred.

189
00:10:28,865 --> 00:10:32,735
He must have been delirious.

190
00:10:32,736 --> 00:10:36,772
On which occasion?

191
00:10:36,774 --> 00:10:41,509
I am the son of the king.

192
00:10:41,511 --> 00:10:42,977
Do your duty.

193
00:10:53,927 --> 00:10:55,392
My Lord.

194
00:10:55,394 --> 00:10:56,927
Ah, Uhtred.

195
00:10:56,929 --> 00:10:59,663
Please accept my apology for
the delay in your release.

196
00:10:59,664 --> 00:11:01,597
I had other matters to attend.

197
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,767
Ale, father?

198
00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:05,970
A little.

199
00:11:05,971 --> 00:11:07,604
And for our guests.

200
00:11:07,605 --> 00:11:09,005
It seems you spoke the truth.

201
00:11:09,008 --> 00:11:10,106
I did.

202
00:11:10,109 --> 00:11:13,777
Though I realize our
victory is temporary,

203
00:11:13,778 --> 00:11:15,078
I am indebted.

204
00:11:15,081 --> 00:11:17,315
Wessex is indebted.

205
00:11:17,317 --> 00:11:18,816
Is my apology enough?

206
00:11:18,817 --> 00:11:20,417
It's not, Lord.

207
00:11:20,418 --> 00:11:23,019
What Uhtred means is that
it is not necessary.

208
00:11:23,022 --> 00:11:24,654
I wish to be seen
as an ealdorman,

209
00:11:24,657 --> 00:11:26,123
because I am an ealdorman.

210
00:11:26,125 --> 00:11:27,390
In Northumbria. This is Wessex.

211
00:11:27,393 --> 00:11:28,658
This is England.

212
00:11:28,661 --> 00:11:30,693
One kingdom is what you said.

213
00:11:30,696 --> 00:11:32,230
You are without
lands completely.

214
00:11:32,231 --> 00:11:34,130
And that's what I want.

215
00:11:34,133 --> 00:11:35,466
That's what I deserve, land.

216
00:11:38,403 --> 00:11:40,904
I brought you here solely
to convey my thanks,

217
00:11:40,907 --> 00:11:43,506
but we shall talk
further, at some point.

218
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:45,408
Now, I have other, more
important, matters to attend.

219
00:11:45,411 --> 00:11:46,643
I gave you victory, Lord.

220
00:11:46,644 --> 00:11:47,879
What's more important than that?

221
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,613
The king is dead.

222
00:11:49,615 --> 00:11:51,715
Since when?

223
00:11:51,716 --> 00:11:53,649
I have not long left him.

224
00:11:55,788 --> 00:12:00,157
My first act as king will be
to offer the Danes a peace.

225
00:12:00,158 --> 00:12:03,193
They will think you spineless.

226
00:12:03,196 --> 00:12:04,461
Lord.

227
00:12:04,462 --> 00:12:07,063
Then I must convince
them otherwise.

228
00:12:08,833 --> 00:12:10,801
Girl, bring some
fruits to my chamber,

229
00:12:10,802 --> 00:12:12,003
some chopped apples and milk.

230
00:12:12,004 --> 00:12:14,071
Rest, wash, eat well.

231
00:12:14,072 --> 00:12:15,471
You have earned it.

232
00:12:19,245 --> 00:12:20,977
What are you saying?

233
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:22,578
You do not speak

234
00:12:22,581 --> 00:12:23,980
to a future king in that manner.

235
00:12:23,982 --> 00:12:25,249
He's not my Lord and
he won't be my king.

236
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:27,650
Hear me clearly, Uhtred.

237
00:12:27,653 --> 00:12:29,220
Alfred is the man to follow.

238
00:12:29,221 --> 00:12:30,821
He is your way back
to Bebbanburg,

239
00:12:30,822 --> 00:12:32,255
as Lord and Master.

240
00:12:32,258 --> 00:12:34,758
Uhtred's path is
Uhtred's business,

241
00:12:34,759 --> 00:12:36,626
not that of a priest.

242
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:39,495
Forgive me, Lord.

243
00:12:39,498 --> 00:12:41,498
I must leave,

244
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,200
to pray for strength
and to expunge

245
00:12:43,201 --> 00:12:45,101
these unholy thoughts
that fill my mind.

246
00:12:52,312 --> 00:12:54,110
You want land in Wessex?

247
00:12:54,113 --> 00:12:58,249
It's my way back to Bebbanburg.

248
00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:59,883
Any silver you find under Alfred

249
00:12:59,884 --> 00:13:01,985
will be taken by the Danes.

250
00:13:01,988 --> 00:13:03,486
Along with your life.

251
00:13:03,489 --> 00:13:04,822
They can't be beaten.

252
00:13:13,731 --> 00:13:15,798
Excuse me, my Lord.

253
00:13:15,801 --> 00:13:17,600
I am on an errand
to my Lord Alfred.

254
00:13:17,602 --> 00:13:19,870
The milk is for Alfred?

255
00:13:19,871 --> 00:13:21,138
It is.

256
00:13:27,913 --> 00:13:30,913
Not a word.

257
00:13:30,916 --> 00:13:32,048
Go on.

258
00:13:45,764 --> 00:13:48,499
Master Aethelwold,

259
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:51,534
the manchild who would
have himself be king.

260
00:13:51,537 --> 00:13:53,269
Out of respect for
the late king,

261
00:13:53,272 --> 00:13:54,871
Alfred wishes no harm to be done

262
00:13:54,874 --> 00:13:56,807
to a hair of your ugly head.

263
00:13:56,808 --> 00:14:00,211
But he will not put up with
your insolence and lies.

264
00:14:00,212 --> 00:14:03,746
Your own son is party to
my so-called insolence.

265
00:14:03,749 --> 00:14:06,216
Quiet!

266
00:14:06,219 --> 00:14:10,187
Don't you involve others
in your conspiracies.

267
00:14:10,188 --> 00:14:12,389
My head is not ugly.

268
00:14:14,894 --> 00:14:16,394
You're to be sent to Hampton,

269
00:14:16,395 --> 00:14:17,860
to a monastery, to be educated.

270
00:14:17,863 --> 00:14:20,431
It will be a very long process.

271
00:14:20,432 --> 00:14:22,466
I am the king's son!

272
00:14:22,467 --> 00:14:24,434
Wessex cannot afford division.

273
00:14:24,437 --> 00:14:26,370
Nor can it afford the ramblings

274
00:14:26,371 --> 00:14:28,871
of an idiot child,
noble or otherwise.

275
00:14:28,874 --> 00:14:31,408
See to it.

276
00:14:31,411 --> 00:14:34,077
May I make him docile, Lord?

277
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,946
I wish you would.

278
00:14:35,947 --> 00:14:37,181
No. No, no, no, no, no!

279
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:44,254
Come.

280
00:14:44,256 --> 00:14:47,724
Lord, you wish to see me.

281
00:14:47,725 --> 00:14:50,994
I did. I did.

282
00:14:50,995 --> 00:14:54,965
You will take a message
to Guthrum, to the Danes.

283
00:14:54,966 --> 00:14:57,168
You will invite
them to negotiate,

284
00:14:57,169 --> 00:14:59,802
within days, but at
their own convenience.

285
00:14:59,804 --> 00:15:03,740
I shall gladly be your
representative, Lord.

286
00:15:03,741 --> 00:15:04,807
Thank you.

287
00:15:11,527 --> 00:15:14,350
Do I offend you, watching you?

288
00:15:14,352 --> 00:15:18,855
No, my Lord, never.

289
00:15:18,856 --> 00:15:21,057
I will defend you with my life.

290
00:15:23,962 --> 00:15:25,462
You stand as everything
that is precious.

291
00:15:25,465 --> 00:15:27,398
You are Wessex, England,

292
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:30,333
always to be cherished,
never to be violated.

293
00:15:30,336 --> 00:15:33,269
Only to be loved.

294
00:15:33,272 --> 00:15:34,437
Vigorously.

295
00:15:36,442 --> 00:15:37,774
Who is it?

296
00:15:37,775 --> 00:15:38,841
My Lord.

297
00:15:38,844 --> 00:15:41,245
My conscience.

298
00:15:41,246 --> 00:15:45,115
My Lord, would you care
to join me in prayer,

299
00:15:45,118 --> 00:15:46,649
perhaps for the
passing of the king?

300
00:15:46,652 --> 00:15:48,918
I will, Father.

301
00:15:48,921 --> 00:15:50,587
I give you my thanks.

302
00:15:50,590 --> 00:15:52,389
Forgive me, my Lord.

303
00:15:52,390 --> 00:15:54,357
The milk has soured.

304
00:15:59,331 --> 00:16:02,332
I am tired of milk and apples.

305
00:16:02,335 --> 00:16:03,767
I need meat.

306
00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:06,202
But you are a martyr,
my Lord, to meat.

307
00:16:06,205 --> 00:16:07,937
My Lord needs feeding.

308
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:10,039
My Lord is not a saint,
and never shall be.

309
00:16:10,042 --> 00:16:11,542
I have survived battle.

310
00:16:11,543 --> 00:16:15,346
I need meat.

311
00:16:15,347 --> 00:16:19,649
We shall pray together,
my Lord, for strength.

312
00:16:19,652 --> 00:16:21,083
Why does it have to be a sin?

313
00:16:29,995 --> 00:16:31,562
Already, it is a burden.

314
00:16:34,432 --> 00:16:36,932
It seems never to be about
what I would wish to do.

315
00:16:36,934 --> 00:16:39,570
It is about what I must do.

316
00:16:43,942 --> 00:16:46,277
Ask God to give me the strength

317
00:16:46,278 --> 00:16:48,077
to wear the crown
as well as you.

318
00:16:57,722 --> 00:17:01,325
Father Beocca, a moment.

319
00:17:01,326 --> 00:17:02,458
Yes, Lord?

320
00:17:02,461 --> 00:17:03,860
Uhtred may well have a use.

321
00:17:03,861 --> 00:17:05,563
I'm...

322
00:17:05,565 --> 00:17:07,198
Pleased that is what
you think, Lord.

323
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,432
This Brida, she's what, to him?

324
00:17:09,434 --> 00:17:10,767
I would say a hindrance, Lord.

325
00:17:10,769 --> 00:17:13,269
- A wife?
- No, no, never, no.

326
00:17:13,271 --> 00:17:14,837
She is restless.

327
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:16,673
She's the devil on his
shoulder, I fear.

328
00:17:16,675 --> 00:17:19,809
But he is fond of her.

329
00:17:19,811 --> 00:17:22,813
Yes, that is his way.

330
00:17:22,815 --> 00:17:24,381
We shall see.

331
00:17:24,383 --> 00:17:25,481
Thank you.

332
00:17:25,483 --> 00:17:26,549
My Lord.

333
00:17:52,009 --> 00:17:54,711
I carry a message

334
00:17:54,713 --> 00:17:56,212
from King Alfred.

335
00:17:56,214 --> 00:17:57,381
Who is King Alfred?

336
00:17:57,383 --> 00:17:59,349
He is Alfred, King of Wessex.

337
00:17:59,352 --> 00:18:03,253
He invites the earl Guthrum
to negotiate a peace.

338
00:18:03,256 --> 00:18:04,288
Get down from your horse, boy.

339
00:18:09,362 --> 00:18:11,161
You are a beaut.

340
00:18:13,665 --> 00:18:16,799
Tell this king...
what was his name?

341
00:18:16,801 --> 00:18:19,569
Alfred.

342
00:18:19,571 --> 00:18:20,871
Tell King Alfred

343
00:18:20,873 --> 00:18:23,574
that Guthrum accepts
his invitation

344
00:18:23,576 --> 00:18:24,607
and I will watch for him

345
00:18:24,609 --> 00:18:25,808
and I shall ride
out and meet him.

346
00:18:25,810 --> 00:18:27,544
I will pass on your
message, Lord.

347
00:18:33,385 --> 00:18:35,486
This horse belongs me now.

348
00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:42,192
Uhtred, Alfred is keen
to find a use for you,

349
00:18:42,193 --> 00:18:44,295
but Brida is...

350
00:18:44,297 --> 00:18:45,561
She's not a help.

351
00:18:45,564 --> 00:18:47,298
Well, perhaps you could
just keep her away from me.

352
00:18:47,299 --> 00:18:49,532
Alfred knows how
I can be of use.

353
00:18:49,535 --> 00:18:50,967
- Uhtred...
- And I've proven it.

354
00:18:50,969 --> 00:18:52,868
Now, he must prove he
can be of use to me.

355
00:18:52,871 --> 00:18:54,305
He will be king.

356
00:18:54,307 --> 00:18:55,405
And you can serve him.

357
00:18:55,407 --> 00:18:57,540
I'm here to serve myself.

358
00:18:57,542 --> 00:18:59,375
Alfred means nothing to me
but a path to take back

359
00:18:59,377 --> 00:19:00,644
what's rightfully mine,

360
00:19:00,645 --> 00:19:03,046
my land, my wealth,
and my title.

361
00:19:03,048 --> 00:19:06,784
He will have a use for me,
but I'll have a use for him.

362
00:19:06,786 --> 00:19:08,984
Do not think him naive.

363
00:19:08,987 --> 00:19:10,320
He will see right through you.

364
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:12,556
He will see what I
allow him to see.

365
00:19:24,269 --> 00:19:26,970
You looking for company, girl?

366
00:19:26,971 --> 00:19:31,208
I prefer the company of
the gods to stupid men.

367
00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:32,409
Another time, then.

368
00:21:04,128 --> 00:21:05,528
Good morning, Uhtred.

369
00:21:05,529 --> 00:21:06,862
Good morning, Lord.

370
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:18,273
That's a fine coat of mail.

371
00:21:18,276 --> 00:21:20,009
It is, and it is yours,

372
00:21:20,010 --> 00:21:21,443
the battle dress of
a Saxon warrior.

373
00:21:21,445 --> 00:21:22,511
A gift.

374
00:21:22,513 --> 00:21:24,047
In return for what?

375
00:21:24,048 --> 00:21:25,548
There's always a price.

376
00:21:25,549 --> 00:21:29,384
Which you have paid in full...
our victory at the hill.

377
00:21:29,386 --> 00:21:33,455
Young Odda, have you offered
your apologies to Uhtred?

378
00:21:35,792 --> 00:21:37,192
My sincere apologies.

379
00:21:37,194 --> 00:21:39,162
You spoke the truth.

380
00:21:39,163 --> 00:21:42,498
A small bow, perhaps?

381
00:21:48,338 --> 00:21:49,605
You may leave us now.

382
00:21:54,278 --> 00:21:58,314
A good king relies upon
good advice, Uhtred.

383
00:21:58,316 --> 00:22:01,817
For example, my nephew
Aethelwold, the king's son,

384
00:22:01,818 --> 00:22:04,554
he is young, but sees himself
as the rightful heir.

385
00:22:04,556 --> 00:22:06,020
How am I to deal with him?

386
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:11,660
You should kill him, Lord.

387
00:22:11,662 --> 00:22:14,829
As my own uncle Aelfric
would kill me.

388
00:22:14,832 --> 00:22:15,964
Not to kill him shows weakness.

389
00:22:15,967 --> 00:22:17,299
You're being insolent.

390
00:22:17,301 --> 00:22:18,866
I will allow it.

391
00:22:18,868 --> 00:22:21,170
It is the Pagan in him speaking.

392
00:22:21,172 --> 00:22:23,605
You think like a Dane, Uhtred.

393
00:22:23,607 --> 00:22:26,040
If I kill Aethelwold,
I am admitting

394
00:22:26,042 --> 00:22:27,710
he has legitimate
claim to the throne,

395
00:22:27,711 --> 00:22:31,513
which he does not.
That is how I think.

396
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:34,416
But to have a specimen of
the heathen mind in council

397
00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:36,184
will be useful.

398
00:22:36,186 --> 00:22:40,455
What do they fear
most, the Danes?

399
00:22:40,458 --> 00:22:42,458
They're warriors.
They live to fight.

400
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:45,294
But when they lose, as
at the hill, what then?

401
00:22:45,296 --> 00:22:46,894
In battle, they'd rather retreat

402
00:22:46,896 --> 00:22:48,896
than lose too many
men, so, if they fear

403
00:22:48,898 --> 00:22:51,299
anything at all,
it's losing men.

404
00:22:51,301 --> 00:22:53,502
They love to fight,
but hate to lose?

405
00:22:53,505 --> 00:22:55,137
Hardly a revelation.

406
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:56,904
Odda appears not to
value your council.

407
00:22:56,906 --> 00:22:58,141
I do not.

408
00:22:58,143 --> 00:22:59,375
I care not.

409
00:22:59,376 --> 00:23:01,144
I have been thinking
on your request

410
00:23:01,145 --> 00:23:02,644
to be recognized
as an ealdorman.

411
00:23:02,646 --> 00:23:04,046
Which is a nonsense.

412
00:23:04,048 --> 00:23:05,780
I am an ealdorman.

413
00:23:05,782 --> 00:23:07,182
Without even a
goat to your name,

414
00:23:07,184 --> 00:23:08,518
never mind the land to graze it.

415
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:10,519
- I am an ealdorman by birth.
- Would you perhaps consider

416
00:23:10,521 --> 00:23:12,820
becoming an ealdorman
by marriage?

417
00:23:12,823 --> 00:23:14,690
I know of a marriage

418
00:23:14,692 --> 00:23:16,491
that would being you
land and title.

419
00:23:16,493 --> 00:23:18,059
I have no need of a wife, Lord.

420
00:23:18,061 --> 00:23:19,394
- A woman helps you grow.
- Grow old.

421
00:23:19,396 --> 00:23:22,230
Grow roots, and that is
what you are missing.

422
00:23:22,232 --> 00:23:26,035
Marriage would show your
commitment to Wessex.

423
00:23:26,037 --> 00:23:27,603
I have shown commitment.

424
00:23:27,605 --> 00:23:30,838
You've said yourself I gave
you victory at the hill.

425
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,141
You helped, Uhtred,

426
00:23:32,143 --> 00:23:34,210
but the victory was won
by the men of Wessex.

427
00:23:34,211 --> 00:23:35,677
Whom you now refuse to join

428
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,046
through this marriage.

429
00:23:37,048 --> 00:23:38,647
Land and silver is
what all men desire

430
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:40,749
and I'm no different.

431
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:43,719
But believe me, Lord, I
have no need of a wife.

432
00:23:43,721 --> 00:23:45,019
My sword is yours.

433
00:23:45,021 --> 00:23:46,888
At a price.

434
00:23:46,891 --> 00:23:52,295
Everything that I have
has been taken from me.

435
00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:53,563
I need title.

436
00:23:53,565 --> 00:23:54,829
I need to make my wealth.

437
00:23:54,832 --> 00:23:56,164
Are you offering me your sword

438
00:23:56,166 --> 00:23:58,634
or are you selling
me your sword?

439
00:23:58,635 --> 00:24:01,703
To become an ealdorman,
you must possess land.

440
00:24:01,705 --> 00:24:03,137
That is the law.

441
00:24:03,140 --> 00:24:06,409
However, stand at my side

442
00:24:06,411 --> 00:24:08,109
during the negotiations ahead,

443
00:24:08,112 --> 00:24:12,847
help me read my enemy,
and, in return,

444
00:24:12,849 --> 00:24:15,817
we shall talk further
of wealth and reward.

445
00:24:38,442 --> 00:24:40,875
Well, what did you see?

446
00:24:40,877 --> 00:24:42,711
What did they show you?

447
00:24:42,713 --> 00:24:44,480
What I saw is my business.

448
00:24:44,481 --> 00:24:46,615
I feel unwell.

449
00:24:51,989 --> 00:24:55,022
Here.

450
00:24:55,025 --> 00:24:56,592
Water.

451
00:25:13,176 --> 00:25:16,578
Where we find ourselves is fate.

452
00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:19,548
The work of the three spinners,

453
00:25:19,549 --> 00:25:21,483
they sit deep in this
earth beneath us

454
00:25:21,486 --> 00:25:24,487
and they've brought us here.

455
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:28,391
We should go.

456
00:25:28,393 --> 00:25:33,729
To Cornwalum, Wales, Ireland...
anywhere.

457
00:25:33,730 --> 00:25:34,930
Why?

458
00:25:34,932 --> 00:25:35,963
Escape.

459
00:25:40,069 --> 00:25:43,872
Safety.

460
00:25:43,874 --> 00:25:46,275
I saw Ragnar's ship.

461
00:25:46,277 --> 00:25:47,343
The Past.

462
00:25:47,345 --> 00:25:50,479
No, Wind Viper.

463
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,781
Young Ragnar?

464
00:25:52,784 --> 00:25:54,082
I was there, on the ship.

465
00:25:54,084 --> 00:25:56,384
I saw it.

466
00:25:56,386 --> 00:25:58,886
I want to leave here.

467
00:25:58,888 --> 00:26:00,221
Come with me.

468
00:26:03,528 --> 00:26:04,794
Come with me.

469
00:26:04,796 --> 00:26:09,096
I've given a promise to Alfred.

470
00:26:09,098 --> 00:26:11,366
To attend the
negotiations, to advise.

471
00:26:14,838 --> 00:26:17,373
Brida, there's no place
else for us to go.

472
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:19,541
We cannot stay here.

473
00:26:22,246 --> 00:26:24,413
It's a beginning.

474
00:26:27,551 --> 00:26:29,050
Leave me.

475
00:26:30,568 --> 00:26:33,556
We cannot wander the
country and do nothing.

476
00:26:33,557 --> 00:26:35,691
How can you trust him?

477
00:26:35,692 --> 00:26:36,826
How do you know he won't simply

478
00:26:36,827 --> 00:26:38,728
turn you over to Guthrum
to pass on to Ubba?

479
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:40,462
You know nothing about him.

480
00:26:40,464 --> 00:26:42,897
I trust Father Beocca and
Beocca is his priest.

481
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:44,500
I said, "Leave me."

482
00:26:51,008 --> 00:26:54,142
You were not on
the ship with me!

483
00:26:54,144 --> 00:26:57,144
Go to Alfred and I will
watch him betray you.

484
00:27:11,261 --> 00:27:14,061
So, what do we know
of this Alfred?

485
00:27:14,064 --> 00:27:15,798
That he's sickly.

486
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:17,031
He's weak.

487
00:27:17,034 --> 00:27:19,367
He wants to negotiate.

488
00:27:19,369 --> 00:27:22,904
Turns out that he's no warrior.

489
00:27:22,906 --> 00:27:24,440
But he beat you, Guthrum.

490
00:27:30,914 --> 00:27:33,115
So, what does it say?

491
00:27:46,297 --> 00:27:48,763
Negotiation.

492
00:27:48,766 --> 00:27:51,599
Silver.

493
00:27:51,602 --> 00:27:55,369
We will take his silver.

494
00:27:55,372 --> 00:27:57,906
And his land.

495
00:27:57,909 --> 00:27:59,106
And if he refuses?

496
00:27:59,108 --> 00:28:01,375
He will never refuse.

497
00:28:01,377 --> 00:28:03,913
He wants to live and he
wants to be called king.

498
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,722
Our God in his Heaven,
we ask you to find favor

499
00:29:15,724 --> 00:29:19,661
with your devoted
servant Alfred.

500
00:29:19,663 --> 00:29:23,431
Bless him with courage,
strength, and wisdom.

501
00:29:23,432 --> 00:29:25,833
Never leave his side.

502
00:29:25,835 --> 00:29:28,301
- Amen.
- Amen.

503
00:29:28,304 --> 00:29:32,874
Allow him pure and holy thoughts

504
00:29:32,875 --> 00:29:35,710
and the power to carry out
your work on this earth

505
00:29:35,711 --> 00:29:38,179
as our king.

506
00:29:38,181 --> 00:29:40,513
Allow this anointing of Alfred

507
00:29:40,516 --> 00:29:43,250
to enable your will.

508
00:29:43,251 --> 00:29:47,555
You are God's king,
Alfred of Wessex.

509
00:29:47,557 --> 00:29:49,958
Vivat Rex alfredus!

510
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,193
Vivat Rex alfredus!

511
00:29:53,195 --> 00:29:57,065
Vivat Rex alfredus.

512
00:29:57,067 --> 00:30:00,134
Vivat Rex alfredus!

513
00:30:00,135 --> 00:30:03,269
Vivat Rex alfredus.

514
00:30:03,271 --> 00:30:06,641
Vivat Rex alfredus!

515
00:30:06,643 --> 00:30:09,676
Vivat Rex alfredus.

516
00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:12,713
Vivat Rex alfredus!

517
00:30:12,715 --> 00:30:16,084
Vivat Rex alfredus.

518
00:30:16,086 --> 00:30:19,787
Vivat Rex alfredus.

519
00:30:19,788 --> 00:30:22,256
Vivat Rex alfredus.

520
00:30:22,258 --> 00:30:25,526
Vivat Rex alfredus.

521
00:30:25,528 --> 00:30:27,862
Vivat Rex alfredus.

522
00:30:27,864 --> 00:30:29,931
I can't imagine a
time without you.

523
00:30:29,932 --> 00:30:31,833
Vivat Rex alfredus.

524
00:30:31,835 --> 00:30:35,336
Vivat Rex alfredus.

525
00:30:35,337 --> 00:30:37,771
Vivat Rex alfredus.

526
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:42,684
WILTON

527
00:30:42,685 --> 00:30:44,711
WILTON
KINGDOM OF WESSEX

528
00:30:48,984 --> 00:30:50,518
It is Guthrum?

529
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,419
Yes.

530
00:30:52,421 --> 00:30:56,323
You can see a bone in his hair.

531
00:30:56,325 --> 00:30:58,960
It's his mother's rib.

532
00:30:58,961 --> 00:31:00,594
How endearing.

533
00:31:00,596 --> 00:31:02,496
And the others?

534
00:31:02,498 --> 00:31:06,134
It's Ubba. The big man.

535
00:31:06,135 --> 00:31:07,468
The chieftain Ubba is with him?

536
00:31:07,470 --> 00:31:09,537
You said he was in the north.

537
00:31:09,538 --> 00:31:13,173
Now, he's here.

538
00:31:13,175 --> 00:31:15,108
This is good.

539
00:31:35,463 --> 00:31:37,964
So you are Alfred,
the King of Wessex?

540
00:31:37,967 --> 00:31:39,266
I am.

541
00:31:39,268 --> 00:31:41,035
You are earl Guthrum?

542
00:31:41,037 --> 00:31:42,202
Yes.

543
00:31:42,204 --> 00:31:45,506
If you want peace,
you have to pay.

544
00:31:45,508 --> 00:31:48,541
And you are the earl Ubba.

545
00:31:48,544 --> 00:31:49,676
Welcome.

546
00:31:49,679 --> 00:31:50,912
Speak.

547
00:31:50,913 --> 00:31:53,080
In exchange for an agreed amount

548
00:31:53,083 --> 00:31:54,715
of grain, livestock, and silver,

549
00:31:54,718 --> 00:31:56,616
I propose that you
and your ships

550
00:31:56,618 --> 00:31:58,618
return to London
and remain there.

551
00:31:58,621 --> 00:32:00,653
I further propose that
you confine yourselves

552
00:32:00,655 --> 00:32:03,289
to East Anglia, Mercia,
and Northumbria.

553
00:32:03,291 --> 00:32:07,929
Wessex is Saxon, and, as such,
out of bounds to all Danes.

554
00:32:07,931 --> 00:32:10,263
We'll not be leaving Wessex.

555
00:32:10,266 --> 00:32:11,699
We only just arrived.

556
00:32:11,701 --> 00:32:13,901
Then you will starve.

557
00:32:13,903 --> 00:32:16,770
You have little food,

558
00:32:16,772 --> 00:32:19,472
no shelter, and a weakened army.

559
00:32:19,474 --> 00:32:22,175
If you believe us
weakened, why seek peace?

560
00:32:22,178 --> 00:32:25,246
It is the Christian in me.

561
00:32:25,248 --> 00:32:26,579
The will of my God.

562
00:32:26,582 --> 00:32:28,382
Oh, I'll hear no talk of gods.

563
00:32:28,384 --> 00:32:29,482
God.

564
00:32:29,484 --> 00:32:30,884
There is only one.

565
00:32:30,886 --> 00:32:35,521
You will talk of grain,
horses, silver, and land.

566
00:32:35,523 --> 00:32:37,023
I will not talk of land.

567
00:32:37,026 --> 00:32:39,059
What do they write?

568
00:32:39,061 --> 00:32:41,162
They write what we speak.

569
00:32:41,163 --> 00:32:42,596
Every word?

570
00:32:42,597 --> 00:32:43,765
Yes, every word.

571
00:32:43,767 --> 00:32:48,501
Then may I say arse,
tits, hump, and turd?

572
00:32:48,503 --> 00:32:50,137
They record history.

573
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:51,638
We are here creating history.

574
00:32:51,641 --> 00:32:53,673
People will read of
this very meeting.

575
00:32:53,675 --> 00:32:56,676
I'm waiting to hear the
terms of your surrender.

576
00:32:56,679 --> 00:32:58,645
You will be paid for
your return to London.

577
00:32:58,647 --> 00:33:02,182
There are no more terms, and
there will be no surrender.

578
00:33:02,184 --> 00:33:06,887
Guthrum here will not
leave Readingum.

579
00:33:06,890 --> 00:33:08,721
And I say again he will starve.

580
00:33:08,723 --> 00:33:12,058
We will raid. We will kill.

581
00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:14,327
And you will lose yet more men.

582
00:33:14,329 --> 00:33:18,766
Is that your wish, earl
Guthrum, to lose men?

583
00:33:18,768 --> 00:33:23,470
Your surviving warriors may
look to find a new lord.

584
00:33:23,471 --> 00:33:25,239
Did you call the
meeting to insult me?

585
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,875
I offer peace and I offer facts.

586
00:33:28,877 --> 00:33:32,880
His head, and you can
have your peace.

587
00:33:32,882 --> 00:33:33,948
Him.

588
00:33:41,023 --> 00:33:45,226
Uhtred Ragnarson.

589
00:33:45,228 --> 00:33:47,228
A traitor.

590
00:33:53,798 --> 00:33:55,202
Nothing to say?

591
00:33:55,204 --> 00:33:57,637
I'll speak to Young Ragnar.

592
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,106
No other Dane has my respect.

593
00:34:00,108 --> 00:34:03,109
His head for peace.

594
00:34:03,112 --> 00:34:04,945
You want Uhtred here for peace?

595
00:34:04,948 --> 00:34:07,448
No silver, no grain, no horses?

596
00:34:07,450 --> 00:34:12,418
We want silver and
the traitor's head.

597
00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:14,621
These are the terms.
And you, Alfred,

598
00:34:14,623 --> 00:34:17,391
you may remain king,

599
00:34:17,393 --> 00:34:21,929
but we will occupy all
of the Saxon forts.

600
00:34:21,931 --> 00:34:24,097
If you wish to occupy
the fortresses,

601
00:34:24,099 --> 00:34:27,701
then do it, take them.

602
00:34:27,702 --> 00:34:30,471
How many have you
taken, to date?

603
00:34:30,472 --> 00:34:32,139
Father, how many have
they taken to date?

604
00:34:32,141 --> 00:34:33,940
None, Lord.

605
00:34:36,945 --> 00:34:40,414
We can take all
fortresses at any time!

606
00:34:40,416 --> 00:34:42,884
We have taken the
whole of England!

607
00:34:45,487 --> 00:34:49,056
And we can do the
same with Wessex.

608
00:34:49,057 --> 00:34:50,456
Let me be clear.

609
00:34:50,458 --> 00:34:52,860
I am prepared to
return to the sword...

610
00:34:52,862 --> 00:34:55,329
we outnumber you, we are many,
and we are dangerous...

611
00:34:55,331 --> 00:34:58,798
but I would prefer to
establish a peace.

612
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,733
And Uhtred here shall
keep his head,

613
00:35:00,735 --> 00:35:04,905
but I will pay you
well to leave Wessex.

614
00:35:04,907 --> 00:35:07,641
That is what people will read.

615
00:35:07,643 --> 00:35:09,242
That Alfred sought peace.

616
00:35:09,244 --> 00:35:12,612
Alfred paid lords Ubba
and Guthrum in silver,

617
00:35:12,614 --> 00:35:15,282
in exchange for peace.

618
00:35:15,284 --> 00:35:19,420
It is I who is seeking
an end to the fighting.

619
00:35:19,422 --> 00:35:21,289
That is what will be written.

620
00:35:43,646 --> 00:35:44,710
Uhtred.

621
00:35:49,552 --> 00:35:52,920
I would never have
given you up to Ubba.

622
00:35:52,922 --> 00:35:55,389
But the thought did
cross your mind, Lord.

623
00:35:55,391 --> 00:35:56,958
Not once.

624
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,362
The fact is I would like
you to swear an oath

625
00:36:02,364 --> 00:36:05,398
on holy relics...
a year's service.

626
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,202
During which time, you
will help my warriors

627
00:36:08,204 --> 00:36:10,704
understand that the heathens

628
00:36:10,706 --> 00:36:12,206
are but men.

629
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:14,807
And, in return and in time,

630
00:36:14,809 --> 00:36:17,677
you shall have
your own reward...

631
00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:19,545
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

632
00:36:22,784 --> 00:36:24,119
One year.

633
00:36:42,541 --> 00:36:44,173
Boy!

634
00:36:53,052 --> 00:36:54,385
For the king.

635
00:37:06,231 --> 00:37:09,266
They have been halted,
but nothing more.

636
00:37:09,615 --> 00:37:12,617
They are not defeated.

637
00:37:12,619 --> 00:37:16,155
Our task, now, is both
simple and impossible...

638
00:37:16,157 --> 00:37:17,400
we determine what
they will do next.

639
00:37:17,402 --> 00:37:19,168
They will do what Danes
always do, attack.

640
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:20,768
How, where, when, how many?

641
00:37:20,771 --> 00:37:22,137
We're supposed to be
celebrating a peace.

642
00:37:22,139 --> 00:37:24,172
Do we have to talk of fighting?

643
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:28,610
We do, my dear, because
the peace will not last.

644
00:37:28,612 --> 00:37:30,012
It'll take them at least a year

645
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,947
before they can gather
a second great army.

646
00:37:31,949 --> 00:37:33,282
Do I have your word?

647
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:34,282
Son.

648
00:37:34,284 --> 00:37:35,617
Is there any meat here?

649
00:37:35,619 --> 00:37:37,085
Should she even be here?

650
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:38,487
Brida's my guest.

651
00:37:38,489 --> 00:37:40,489
You should've taken up the
king's offer of a wife.

652
00:37:40,490 --> 00:37:42,990
A lady.

653
00:37:42,992 --> 00:37:44,193
What happens next, I believe,

654
00:37:44,195 --> 00:37:46,628
is that they will
come by land and sea.

655
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:48,829
They will split our army
in two, possibly more.

656
00:37:48,831 --> 00:37:50,599
Now, Uhtred may be correct,

657
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:53,034
this may not occur
for a year, or more,

658
00:37:53,036 --> 00:37:57,405
but what is clear is
that we need ships.

659
00:37:57,407 --> 00:38:01,077
We are bordered by water, but,
yet, we have so few ships.

660
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:02,378
You'll not get me on a ship.

661
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:05,246
I volunteer my son.

662
00:38:05,248 --> 00:38:07,916
To save our shores, we
have to look beyond them.

663
00:38:07,918 --> 00:38:12,253
And to serve God, his
word must travel.

664
00:38:12,255 --> 00:38:13,922
Amen. Praise him.

665
00:38:13,923 --> 00:38:16,192
Uhtred, the beasts

666
00:38:16,193 --> 00:38:18,960
on the prows of the Danes'
ships, they are a...

667
00:38:18,963 --> 00:38:20,628
Representation of their gods?

668
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:22,731
No, Lord, they're just beasts.

669
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:24,733
They can be lifted
from their posts,

670
00:38:24,735 --> 00:38:27,635
so not to frighten the
spirits of the land.

671
00:38:27,637 --> 00:38:28,670
"Spirits of the land."

672
00:38:28,672 --> 00:38:30,505
I would like to know
why some of them

673
00:38:30,507 --> 00:38:32,608
make their own
teeth into points.

674
00:38:32,610 --> 00:38:33,842
They do that?

675
00:38:33,844 --> 00:38:34,909
Some, lady.

676
00:38:34,911 --> 00:38:36,445
God save us.

677
00:38:36,447 --> 00:38:39,114
To show that they aren't afraid.

678
00:38:39,117 --> 00:38:41,282
If they can inflict such
pain on themselves,

679
00:38:41,284 --> 00:38:43,385
think what they might
do to a Saxon.

680
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,887
We will understand them
more by the day, I'm sure.

681
00:38:45,889 --> 00:38:47,722
Uhtred of the Danes

682
00:38:47,724 --> 00:38:51,293
has promised me a
year of his service.

683
00:38:51,295 --> 00:38:52,661
Is that so?

684
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:54,597
It is.

685
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:57,298
It will be his responsibility
to show our warriors

686
00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,536
how the Danes approach
battle, the construction

687
00:39:00,538 --> 00:39:02,338
of their shield
wall and the like.

688
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,306
Lord, if I may,

689
00:39:04,307 --> 00:39:06,742
the arseling here
is barely a man

690
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:09,844
and you expect him to
teach me how to fight?

691
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:12,813
Leofric, I expect him
to teach you nothing.

692
00:39:12,815 --> 00:39:16,717
Whip him with staves, in
practice, by all means.

693
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,521
Thank you, Lord.

694
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:19,621
But,

695
00:39:19,623 --> 00:39:21,822
our lesser men,

696
00:39:21,824 --> 00:39:25,460
if they can know
what the Dane knows,

697
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:29,297
fear can be expelled
with knowledge,

698
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:31,132
regardless how
sharp their teeth.

699
00:39:45,248 --> 00:39:46,815
You didn't eat tonight.

700
00:39:46,817 --> 00:39:49,184
I'd only throw it up.

701
00:39:49,186 --> 00:39:51,219
A year?

702
00:39:53,923 --> 00:39:55,824
It starts with a year
and becomes a lifetime.

703
00:39:58,027 --> 00:39:59,494
And he offered you a wife.

704
00:39:59,496 --> 00:40:01,230
I have no need of a wife.

705
00:40:01,231 --> 00:40:03,331
Instead, you swore an
oath to kill Danes.

706
00:40:03,333 --> 00:40:06,268
You know my reasons.

707
00:40:06,269 --> 00:40:08,969
We've been living in a palace.

708
00:40:08,972 --> 00:40:11,606
What happens if
you find yourself

709
00:40:11,608 --> 00:40:14,476
facing Young Ragnar, in battle?

710
00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:20,382
We fight.

711
00:40:47,612 --> 00:40:50,077
Where is she?

712
00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:51,947
I haven't heard her all morning.

713
00:40:51,949 --> 00:40:53,449
She will not be far.

714
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:55,351
Well, we're about to leave.

715
00:40:55,353 --> 00:40:57,219
Yeah, I can see.

716
00:40:57,221 --> 00:40:59,521
I'll follow.

717
00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:37,559
Brida!

718
00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:47,135
Brida!

719
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:54,376
Brida!

720
00:42:01,751 --> 00:42:03,385
Brida?

721
00:42:14,431 --> 00:42:18,300
Almost a child.

722
00:42:18,302 --> 00:42:21,369
You knew?

723
00:42:22,905 --> 00:42:24,340
That you were carrying.

724
00:42:30,179 --> 00:42:32,313
No.

725
00:42:32,315 --> 00:42:35,384
You didn't see it
in your dreams,

726
00:42:35,385 --> 00:42:36,719
when you drank the mushroom ale?

727
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:47,762
I'll bury it.

728
00:42:47,764 --> 00:42:49,097
We'll bury it.

729
00:42:49,099 --> 00:42:50,465
It's a sign of a passing.

730
00:42:59,643 --> 00:43:00,909
Stand together!

731
00:43:00,911 --> 00:43:01,976
Shields front!

732
00:43:01,978 --> 00:43:03,846
Shields up!

733
00:43:03,847 --> 00:43:04,945
Shields together!

734
00:43:04,947 --> 00:43:06,181
- KINGDOM OF WESSEX
- Look them in the eye.

735
00:43:06,182 --> 00:43:07,416
Closer together, unbreakable.

736
00:43:07,418 --> 00:43:08,784
Are we ready?!

737
00:43:08,786 --> 00:43:10,518
Yeah!

738
00:43:10,521 --> 00:43:13,054
Stand together!

739
00:43:19,128 --> 00:43:21,463
Shields together!

740
00:43:21,465 --> 00:43:23,465
We hammer them with our shields.

741
00:43:23,467 --> 00:43:25,768
They're our defense
and our weapon.

742
00:43:25,769 --> 00:43:27,001
We knock them off their feet.

743
00:43:27,003 --> 00:43:29,137
We're a wall!

744
00:43:35,211 --> 00:43:36,677
Charge!

745
00:43:48,025 --> 00:43:50,224
Before the two walls meet,

746
00:43:50,226 --> 00:43:52,494
the first three rows
of men act together

747
00:43:52,496 --> 00:43:54,630
to create a tall shield wall.

748
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:56,465
First row crouches lower,

749
00:43:56,467 --> 00:43:58,699
protecting the lower
body and legs.

750
00:43:58,702 --> 00:44:02,438
The second row reaches forward,
protecting the upper body.

751
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,974
The third row leans in,
protecting the head.

752
00:44:05,976 --> 00:44:07,643
Four rows of men.

753
00:44:07,644 --> 00:44:10,646
Shields up.

754
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:13,815
Shields together!

755
00:44:13,818 --> 00:44:15,382
Shield wall!

756
00:44:19,923 --> 00:44:21,690
I like it, arseling.

757
00:44:21,692 --> 00:44:24,525
I do.

758
00:44:24,527 --> 00:44:26,862
Now, kill the bastard.

759
00:44:46,784 --> 00:44:49,751
The wealth isn't mine.

760
00:44:49,753 --> 00:44:53,121
Belongs to Lord
Ragnar, the fearless.

761
00:44:53,123 --> 00:44:56,592
You will do well
to leave me alone.

762
00:44:56,594 --> 00:44:58,226
Are you Brida?

763
00:44:58,228 --> 00:45:01,295
Who asks?

764
00:45:05,001 --> 00:45:06,067
Brida.

765
00:45:06,068 --> 00:45:08,202
What of her?

766
00:45:08,204 --> 00:45:11,306
I'm no seer,

767
00:45:11,307 --> 00:45:13,942
but I'd say she's unhappy.

768
00:45:13,943 --> 00:45:18,112
She prefers the company
of Danes to Saxons.

769
00:45:18,114 --> 00:45:20,248
Nothing wrong in that.

770
00:45:20,250 --> 00:45:23,050
She's been with
the wrong Saxons.

771
00:45:23,052 --> 00:45:24,619
Danes have a hunger for life.

772
00:45:24,621 --> 00:45:26,688
Don't we all?

773
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:30,090
Alfred...

774
00:45:30,092 --> 00:45:32,059
He's serious.

775
00:45:33,195 --> 00:45:35,130
A pious bastard.

776
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:37,833
Dislike him, by all means,

777
00:45:37,835 --> 00:45:39,501
but never underestimate him.

778
00:45:39,503 --> 00:45:42,170
He is ruthless.

779
00:45:42,172 --> 00:45:45,172
And, the man thinks.

780
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:47,442
Which is more than
you or I could do.

781
00:45:47,443 --> 00:45:49,878
Leofric the warrior.

782
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,378
May I sit with you?

783
00:45:51,380 --> 00:45:53,114
No, you may not.

784
00:45:53,115 --> 00:45:55,382
Do the Monks know
you're missing?

785
00:45:55,385 --> 00:45:59,387
Uhtred, this is Aethelwold,

786
00:45:59,389 --> 00:46:00,621
another arseling.

787
00:46:00,623 --> 00:46:02,356
Nephew of the king.

788
00:46:02,358 --> 00:46:05,293
No, I am not the
nephew of the king.

789
00:46:05,295 --> 00:46:09,164
I am the king.

790
00:46:09,166 --> 00:46:10,498
But Alfred likes to pretend

791
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:13,268
and every bastard appears
to be happy with the lie.

792
00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:17,806
- What are we talking about?
- Alfred.

793
00:46:17,807 --> 00:46:20,041
He will not allow me to fight.

794
00:46:20,043 --> 00:46:21,443
Have I told you that?

795
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:22,610
Many times.

796
00:46:22,612 --> 00:46:24,913
Well, it's true. He will
not allow me to fight.

797
00:46:24,914 --> 00:46:27,648
What I ought to do
is slit his gizzard.

798
00:46:28,686 --> 00:46:30,351
Say that to anyone but me, boy,

799
00:46:30,353 --> 00:46:31,518
and you'll be hanged.

800
00:46:31,521 --> 00:46:33,554
You are hurting royalty.

801
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:39,527
You're lucky Alfred
hasn't had you killed.

802
00:46:39,528 --> 00:46:42,864
God will not allow him.

803
00:46:42,865 --> 00:46:45,099
I like God.

804
00:47:12,061 --> 00:47:14,762
Silver?

805
00:47:14,764 --> 00:47:16,364
Yes.

806
00:47:16,365 --> 00:47:20,235
Why?

807
00:47:20,237 --> 00:47:22,469
You're leaving me.

808
00:47:22,472 --> 00:47:25,172
Are you drunk?

809
00:47:25,175 --> 00:47:26,775
Maybe a little.

810
00:47:26,777 --> 00:47:30,478
We'll give the silver
to Young Ragnar.

811
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:36,617
Tomorrow, Dusk.

812
00:47:36,619 --> 00:47:38,452
He's here.

813
00:47:38,454 --> 00:47:42,590
We can tell him the truth.

814
00:47:42,592 --> 00:47:45,126
And we can join
Ragnar and his men.

815
00:47:50,597 --> 00:47:52,996
I need men bound to
me by god, by duty,

816
00:47:52,998 --> 00:47:56,567
by the land, by Wessex itself.

817
00:47:56,568 --> 00:47:58,335
I would again like
to put to Uhtred

818
00:47:58,336 --> 00:47:59,670
the prospect of marriage.

819
00:47:59,672 --> 00:48:01,838
To my goddaughter?

820
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,907
To Mildrith, yes.

821
00:48:03,909 --> 00:48:05,976
Well, it would certainly
bind him to the land

822
00:48:05,978 --> 00:48:08,579
and, indirectly, to
the church, to God.

823
00:48:08,581 --> 00:48:09,880
It would test him.

824
00:48:09,882 --> 00:48:11,449
It would.

825
00:48:11,451 --> 00:48:13,885
You would be in favor, ill?

826
00:48:13,887 --> 00:48:15,452
Of course.

827
00:48:15,454 --> 00:48:17,054
Anything for Wessex.

828
00:48:25,688 --> 00:48:27,922
Uhtred Ragnarson is
a good man to be.

829
00:48:29,726 --> 00:48:32,393
Look at me.

830
00:48:32,394 --> 00:48:34,094
You owe Alfred nothing.

831
00:48:34,097 --> 00:48:35,530
To him, your word means nothing.

832
00:48:35,532 --> 00:48:37,132
You're a Pagan.

833
00:48:37,134 --> 00:48:38,333
Please.

834
00:48:47,577 --> 00:48:50,510
Uhtred Ragnarson
can never become

835
00:48:50,512 --> 00:48:51,847
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

836
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,152
Never.

837
00:49:07,396 --> 00:49:09,831
Did you kill my father?

838
00:49:09,833 --> 00:49:12,333
You need to ask?

839
00:49:12,335 --> 00:49:14,668
Did you kill my family?

840
00:49:14,670 --> 00:49:16,737
He didn't!

841
00:49:16,739 --> 00:49:18,373
I'm speaking with Uhtred.

842
00:49:21,677 --> 00:49:24,512
I won't ask a second time.

843
00:49:30,086 --> 00:49:33,153
If you believe that I
would kill our father,

844
00:49:33,155 --> 00:49:36,224
our mother, and our family...

845
00:49:40,396 --> 00:49:42,630
Take your revenge.

846
00:49:51,108 --> 00:49:53,974
I knew it.

847
00:49:53,976 --> 00:49:56,177
I had to be sure. I knew it.

848
00:50:00,884 --> 00:50:03,885
It was Kjartan.

849
00:50:03,887 --> 00:50:06,987
Kjartan attacked
and set the fire.

850
00:50:06,989 --> 00:50:08,588
If we could have saved
them, we would have.

851
00:50:08,590 --> 00:50:09,724
I knew it.

852
00:50:09,726 --> 00:50:11,960
I didn't believe a
word I was hearin'.

853
00:50:11,961 --> 00:50:13,929
We have Ragnar's wealth.

854
00:50:13,931 --> 00:50:17,264
We kept it for you.

855
00:50:17,266 --> 00:50:18,800
Brida.

856
00:50:19,835 --> 00:50:21,268
Fully grown woman now.

857
00:50:28,210 --> 00:50:31,146
I've seen this moment in
my dreams so many times.

858
00:50:34,217 --> 00:50:37,385
So Kjartan's story is
that the English rose

859
00:50:37,387 --> 00:50:42,958
against our father,
encouraged by you.

860
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,358
He claims to have
revenged himself

861
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,260
for the killers.

862
00:50:46,262 --> 00:50:48,663
Did you ever believe him?

863
00:50:51,125 --> 00:50:52,900
Never.

864
00:50:52,902 --> 00:50:55,836
But he is Lord Kjartan now.

865
00:50:55,838 --> 00:50:57,704
He has three times the men.

866
00:50:57,706 --> 00:50:59,039
And the ear of Ubba.

867
00:51:04,646 --> 00:51:08,215
When I kill him, it will
need to be planned.

868
00:51:08,217 --> 00:51:10,485
When we kill him.

869
00:51:10,487 --> 00:51:12,586
It will be dangerous.

870
00:51:12,588 --> 00:51:14,655
It must be done.

871
00:51:14,657 --> 00:51:18,793
Ragnar, we're with you.

872
00:51:18,795 --> 00:51:21,762
Then you will sail with me?

873
00:51:21,764 --> 00:51:25,867
I will.

874
00:51:25,869 --> 00:51:28,969
I've sworn to Alfred.

875
00:51:28,972 --> 00:51:30,637
It means nothing.

876
00:51:33,809 --> 00:51:38,846
Well, if you have sworn,

877
00:51:38,847 --> 00:51:40,280
then you must keep your word.

878
00:51:51,094 --> 00:51:55,195
I need this revenge
like I need water.

879
00:51:55,197 --> 00:52:00,101
When the time is right, I
swear, I'll be with you.

880
00:52:00,103 --> 00:52:01,702
I know.

881
00:52:08,378 --> 00:52:11,146
I can't believe I'm
about to let you go,

882
00:52:11,148 --> 00:52:13,114
lose you.

883
00:52:17,019 --> 00:52:19,054
You've been half my life.

884
00:52:20,556 --> 00:52:23,824
All of my madness.

885
00:52:35,072 --> 00:52:37,405
Be happy.

886
00:53:04,666 --> 00:53:06,367
I take it she has gone, then.

887
00:53:09,672 --> 00:53:13,373
I'm guessing that it's
Alfred that kept you here.

888
00:53:13,376 --> 00:53:17,612
I sold myself.

889
00:53:17,614 --> 00:53:20,614
For a mail coat and helmet.

890
00:53:20,617 --> 00:53:23,451
That's what we do,
we sell ourselves.

891
00:53:27,389 --> 00:53:31,425
This year, what you're
giving to Alfred,

892
00:53:31,427 --> 00:53:33,460
it's not about a mail coat.

893
00:53:33,463 --> 00:53:36,164
It's about you.

894
00:53:36,166 --> 00:53:38,932
The bastard thinks,
didn't I say?

895
00:53:42,938 --> 00:53:46,072
He wants more than
a year's service.

896
00:53:46,074 --> 00:53:49,143
He wants you to help
take back England.

897
00:53:49,146 --> 00:53:53,380
All of England.

898
00:53:53,382 --> 00:53:54,548
Of course, when the year's up,

899
00:53:54,550 --> 00:53:57,985
you could go back to the Danes.

900
00:53:57,987 --> 00:54:02,456
That would at least give
me the chance to kill ya.

901
00:54:02,458 --> 00:54:06,561
But what would you be?

902
00:54:06,563 --> 00:54:08,663
Who would you be?

903
00:54:09,305 --> 00:55:09,527
