00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:04,280
<i>I was born an
Ealdorman of England.</i>

2
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:06,967
Uhtred, son of
Uhtred of Bebbanburg,

3
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,498
welcome to the Christian world.

4
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:11,808
<i>True heir to the Northumbrian
lands of Bebbanburg.</i>

5
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:12,989
You have your stone, the amber?

6
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,276
Yes, Father.

7
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:16,306
Our ancestors took this land

8
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:18,478
and you will die
for it if needed.

9
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,421
<i>I was 12 years old
when I first went to war.</i>

10
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:23,083
<i>Kill them all!</i>

11
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:24,921
<i>I saw my father killed.</i>

12
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:29,020
<i>My uncle took my lands and
pledged his allegiance to the Danes.</i>

13
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:33,432
My advice for you is
to never cross Ubba

14
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:35,333
and never, never fight him.

15
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:39,136
<i>Stolen by the invaders,
along with a Saxon girl, Brida,</i>

16
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:40,834
<i>I became first a slave,</i>

17
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:43,207
<i>and then a son to Earl Ragnar.</i>

18
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,712
<i>That was my family, my life.</i>

19
00:00:45,746 --> 00:00:49,080
<i>Young Ragnar, my
brother, and Brida, my lover.</i>

20
00:00:49,116 --> 00:00:51,278
<i>Fate had made me a Dane.</i>

21
00:00:51,318 --> 00:00:53,753
<i>And then fate brought betrayal.</i>

22
00:00:58,191 --> 00:01:01,320
I will not stand by and have
everything that is mine taken from me.

23
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:04,061
Bebbanburg is mine!

24
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:06,032
<i>Destiny is all.</i>

25
00:01:06,633 --> 00:01:07,760
Horses!

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,074
-== [ www.OpenSubtitles.com ] ==-

27
00:01:57,884 --> 00:01:59,011
Head for the woods!

28
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:20,034
Go right, there's a
gully over that ridge.

29
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:43,487
Hoof-marks. There
must be hoof-marks.

30
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:46,261
<i>There must be
hoof-marks! Somewhere!</i>

31
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:50,434
Fetch more men.
I want him found.

32
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:54,703
We'll go as far as Mercia, if
need be, but I want him found

33
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:56,209
and I want him dead.

34
00:02:57,444 --> 00:02:59,242
He looked like my father.

35
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:01,357
And now he knows you are
alive, he'll keep looking for you.

36
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:02,542
Let him.

37
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:05,484
I'm going to kill him and
take back what's mine.

38
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,784
He has an army. He is
the choice of the Danes!

39
00:03:07,821 --> 00:03:09,380
- All you have is me.
- No.

40
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:12,188
We have Ubba.

41
00:03:12,225 --> 00:03:14,091
We go to him with our story.

42
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:15,686
With his army,

43
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:18,221
we avenge Ragnar's death
and we take back Bebbanburg!

44
00:03:18,265 --> 00:03:20,700
It's that simple.

45
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:22,430
Yes.

46
00:03:24,004 --> 00:03:26,064
Yes.

47
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:48,790
<i>Brida.</i>

48
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:53,028
Brida.

49
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:55,767
Sing me a song.

50
00:03:55,802 --> 00:03:57,794
I won't. I'm not your skald.

51
00:03:57,838 --> 00:04:00,398
True. And what's more,
you'd frighten the birds.

52
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,334
What?

53
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,173
There's a taste in the air.

54
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:09,109
Death.

55
00:05:44,477 --> 00:05:47,208
Who did this? Who
sacked the village?

56
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:48,658
<i>I cannot move.</i>

57
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:50,116
Your back is broken.

58
00:05:53,153 --> 00:05:55,782
- Who did it?
- You know who did this.

59
00:05:55,822 --> 00:05:57,450
Danes did this.

60
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,356
Why?

61
00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:00,392
I don't believe you.

62
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:02,505
Why should the Danes attack
a village that feeds them?

63
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:04,361
Revenge.

64
00:06:04,397 --> 00:06:07,094
But since when have Danes
needed an excuse to kill?

65
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:09,967
<i>Revenge? Revenge for what?</i>

66
00:06:11,471 --> 00:06:12,471
Hmm?

67
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,635
Revenge for
what? And I'll end it.

68
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:20,204
An uprising north of here.

69
00:06:20,247 --> 00:06:23,513
A Saxon slave, he killed
his master at a wedding party.

70
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:30,014
What was the name of this slave?

71
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:34,655
- Hmm?
- You speak English well, for a Dane.

72
00:06:34,694 --> 00:06:36,322
<i>His name!</i>

73
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:40,666
Uhtred.

74
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,086
Say it. BRIDA: <i>Say what?</i>

75
00:07:06,693 --> 00:07:08,161
What you're thinking.

76
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:10,439
I'm thinking that you have a turd
where there's supposed to be a mind.

77
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,295
Thank you.

78
00:07:12,332 --> 00:07:15,359
We should never have
gone to Bebbanburg.

79
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:18,270
We should have let them
believe that you were dead!

80
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:24,011
No, you're wrong.

81
00:07:24,044 --> 00:07:27,139
I want them to
know that I'm alive.

82
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:30,446
I need them to know I'm alive
because they hold what's mine.

83
00:07:32,852 --> 00:07:34,252
I feel better for it.

84
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,220
Yeah?

85
00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:37,315
So does a dog pissing on a tree.

86
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,484
You wish me to bark?

87
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:43,361
What we needed to do was to
ride south to the chieftain Ubba

88
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,456
and tell the story
of Ragnar's death.

89
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:47,225
We'll do it now.

90
00:07:47,267 --> 00:07:50,999
Now there is a second story about
some slave who killed his master.

91
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:52,630
Ubba knows that
Ragnar was my father.

92
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:55,437
He knows nothing! I doubt
he'll even remember you!

93
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:58,074
He will believe the
story that he hears first,

94
00:07:58,111 --> 00:07:59,579
and he will kill you.

95
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:05,579
If you could write, then
you could write to him.

96
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:11,089
If he could read.

97
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:16,991
You've left us no choice.

98
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:18,623
We must find Ubba

99
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,361
and hope he believes you.

100
00:08:46,126 --> 00:08:47,287
Thank you.

101
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:53,666
<i>Father Beocca.</i>

102
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:54,700
Father.

103
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,000
Segwall.

104
00:08:58,104 --> 00:09:00,073
I'll see you in the King's Hall.

105
00:09:19,359 --> 00:09:20,520
My Lord?

106
00:09:22,996 --> 00:09:26,524
My Lord Alfred, it
is I, Father Beocca.

107
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:29,058
My Lord, the King
has called council.

108
00:09:30,203 --> 00:09:32,502
<i>Do not look at me, Father.</i>

109
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:36,032
<i>I am a sinner. I am
a grievous sinner.</i>

110
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:38,204
- We are all sinners, My Lord.
<i>- I am married.</i>

111
00:09:38,244 --> 00:09:40,509
<i>I should never have married.</i>

112
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:43,517
He sends temptation to test us.

113
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:45,678
And when we fail, he
sends the Danes to punish us

114
00:09:45,718 --> 00:09:47,430
- for that failure.
<i>- I should never have married,</i>

115
00:09:47,454 --> 00:09:49,184
<i>I should have joined the church.</i>

116
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:51,316
<i>I should of gone to a monastery.</i>

117
00:09:51,357 --> 00:09:53,690
And God would have
found a great servant in you,

118
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:56,252
but I feel he has other plans.

119
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:57,373
If your brother were to die,

120
00:09:57,397 --> 00:09:59,696
it would be to you
that people would turn.

121
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,963
Oh, pray God he does not die.

122
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,670
What kind of a king would I be?

123
00:10:05,705 --> 00:10:08,004
You will be God's king, My Lord.

124
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:11,205
You have been blessed and
chosen by the Holy Father in Rome.

125
00:10:11,244 --> 00:10:12,735
You will be God's king.

126
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,417
I have seen the girl who
torments you. She is...

127
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,195
- She must be banished.
- No, I believe the opposite.

128
00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:21,586
- She should be brought into your service.
- No.

129
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,532
- No, I could not. I could not.
- You will resist her.

130
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:26,390
You will let Him
see your strength.

131
00:10:26,426 --> 00:10:27,826
You will thank Him
for tempting you

132
00:10:27,861 --> 00:10:31,559
and then praise Him for
resisting the temptation.

133
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:38,695
Notwithstanding...

134
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:43,640
I have news you may
wish to take to council.

135
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:44,354
What news?

136
00:10:44,378 --> 00:10:47,010
Of an English uprising,
Lord, in the north.

137
00:10:47,046 --> 00:10:48,537
It was defeated,

138
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:51,949
but the nobleman responsible
was Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

139
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,510
I know him.

140
00:10:53,553 --> 00:10:55,215
He was taken by
the Danes as a child.

141
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:58,054
A God-fearing child.

142
00:10:58,091 --> 00:10:59,923
Clearly, his heart
remains English.

143
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:00,983
He lives?

144
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:03,428
I believe so.

145
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:04,362
He's a warrior, Lord.

146
00:11:04,397 --> 00:11:07,561
They say he killed his
Danish master and forty men.

147
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,445
He knows their ways, he
speaks their language...

148
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:10,835
He would be
useful, would he not?

149
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:12,081
You could mention
him in council.

150
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:13,767
Why would he kill his master?

151
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:16,943
For blood, for
money, for pleasure?

152
00:11:16,976 --> 00:11:18,035
For England, Lord.

153
00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:19,602
Yes, but, how do we know?

154
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:24,209
He may well be just one
more pagan with a busy sword.

155
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:25,794
- Ah, but I know him, Lord.
- No, Father Beocca.

156
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:27,946
You knew him, once.

157
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:30,513
You knew him as a child.

158
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:32,321
I could send word
out into the country...

159
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:35,055
Father, look, he's a ghost.
He's a pagan rumour.

160
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:38,462
Should he become flesh and
blood, then he may merit a mention.

161
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:42,629
However, my faith, I
reserve for God alone.

162
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:50,366
Now, about this girl. You
may be right about her.

163
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:52,538
Bring her into my
personal service

164
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:55,038
and pray for me.

165
00:11:56,149 --> 00:11:57,583
As always, My Lord.

166
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:09,586
Alfred.

167
00:12:09,629 --> 00:12:12,895
King Edmund of East Anglia
writes a plea to Wessex for an army.

168
00:12:12,932 --> 00:12:15,834
<i>"An attack by the Danish
chieftain, Earl Ubba, is inevitable."</i>

169
00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:17,427
<i>This was two days ago.</i>

170
00:12:18,504 --> 00:12:20,973
A long march to fight the Danes
at a place of their choosing,

171
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:22,839
is not a strategy
worth considering.

172
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:24,173
To say the least, My Lord.

173
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:26,076
- I'm of a mind to decline.
- And rightly!

174
00:12:26,112 --> 00:12:27,774
Ubba. He is...

175
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:30,943
The Dane whom King Edmund
has fed and watered in the past?

176
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:33,249
- He is.
- Perhaps in the hope that he would simply

177
00:12:33,286 --> 00:12:36,450
pass through East Anglia on
his way to invading Wessex.

178
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:39,015
It is my opinion that Edmund
deserves nothing but silence.

179
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:40,993
Too harsh, Young Odda.

180
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:43,394
I believe it was Edmund's
hope to convert the Danes

181
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:46,024
from pagan to Christian,
beginning with charity.

182
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:48,296
For that, he deserves
praise, surely.

183
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:50,279
You are true, My Lord, if
indeed that was his hope.

184
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:51,669
Edmund is a godly man.

185
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:54,503
We have no reason to mistake
his actions for cowardice.

186
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,236
Regardless of
Edmund's intentions,

187
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:59,212
barring a miracle, East Anglia
will soon fall to the Danes.

188
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:01,685
And he shall have all our prayers
for such a miracle, My Lord.

189
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:02,647
He will need them.

190
00:13:02,682 --> 00:13:04,913
He will not, however,
have one man of Wessex,

191
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:06,544
on that we are agreed?

192
00:13:06,586 --> 00:13:07,610
- Yes, Lord.
- Aye.

193
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:11,990
Then we must therefore
recognise that we now stand alone.

194
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:15,624
The last kingdom of England.

195
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:17,153
It will soon be the
men of Wessex

196
00:13:17,196 --> 00:13:19,256
staring across a field
at the pagan army.

197
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:22,201
We must be ready. We
must pray, we must prepare.

198
00:13:22,235 --> 00:13:26,229
Odda, I require that Mercia,
Lundene and East Anglia be watched.

199
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:26,705
Carefully.

200
00:13:26,739 --> 00:13:28,684
- Forward knowledge is everything.
- It is done, My Lord.

201
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:31,337
And scribe, I require the
forges of every town and village

202
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:32,743
to be burning, night and day.

203
00:13:32,779 --> 00:13:34,975
We shall need all the
iron those fires can proffer.

204
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:36,312
<i>Yes, My Lord.</i>

205
00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:39,252
Most of all, I require men.

206
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:44,217
Strong, fighting men
who are prepared to die,

207
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:45,520
because that, in the end,

208
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:47,993
is what it will take to save us.

209
00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:52,556
The blood of men.

210
00:13:56,202 --> 00:13:59,104
Ravn used to say,
"Never fight Ubba."

211
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:04,509
Looks like East Anglia's
just made that mistake.

212
00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:10,683
We should stay away for now.

213
00:14:10,717 --> 00:14:12,185
Build our own fire.

214
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,155
Ubba is unpredictable.

215
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,420
He takes his orders
from the gods.

216
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:21,826
<i>I know. He only
listens to a sorcerer.</i>

217
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:23,090
<i>And he's half mad.</i>

218
00:14:23,129 --> 00:14:24,722
How will you approach him?

219
00:14:25,565 --> 00:14:26,965
As a man.

220
00:14:29,502 --> 00:14:30,697
It has to be done.

221
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:34,037
Yes, it has to be done.

222
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:36,133
But we need to guard your life.

223
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:38,806
How?

224
00:14:38,845 --> 00:14:40,108
I don't know.

225
00:14:46,953 --> 00:14:48,683
We should hump tonight.

226
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,055
We should, it's written.

227
00:14:54,961 --> 00:14:56,554
That we should hump?

228
00:14:57,797 --> 00:14:59,663
Our destiny is to hump.

229
00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:03,035
Tonight.

230
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:17,181
I'm enjoying the thought of it.

231
00:15:17,216 --> 00:15:18,912
That's all you'll enjoy tonight.

232
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,690
Stop. Stop. Stop!

233
00:15:29,729 --> 00:15:31,288
<i>What? What is it?</i>

234
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:32,958
I think I have it.

235
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:37,029
We take a hostage.

236
00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:39,971
A shield, a
guarantee for your life.

237
00:15:40,573 --> 00:15:41,632
Who?

238
00:15:42,175 --> 00:15:43,643
I don't know.

239
00:15:44,844 --> 00:15:46,540
Someone he cannot do without.

240
00:15:47,713 --> 00:15:50,205
Storri! His sorcerer.

241
00:16:03,663 --> 00:16:05,222
<i>Who is this woman?</i>

242
00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:08,124
<i>Why is she not on her back?</i>

243
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:11,262
Well, not that it's your
concern, but she's for Storri.

244
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,940
Saxon whore, from Ubba.

245
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:16,033
I've seen you before.

246
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:19,204
I served Earl Ragnar
and now I serve Ubba.

247
00:16:19,245 --> 00:16:21,111
<i>Quiet, woman!</i>

248
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,809
You'll see me again, I'm sure...

249
00:16:22,849 --> 00:16:24,613
Boy.

250
00:16:25,852 --> 00:16:27,218
I'm told Storri's at the church.

251
00:16:27,253 --> 00:16:30,121
He's up at the monastery
looking after King Edmund.

252
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:31,647
And killing his priests!

253
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:01,652
<i>Hello?</i>

254
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,588
Leave or it will be
the death of you.

255
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:07,452
This church is mine
by the order of Ubba.

256
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,621
Master Storri, I
have a gift for you.

257
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,893
- Really?
- She's from Earl Ubba.

258
00:17:11,931 --> 00:17:13,763
A woman?

259
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,496
Why would Ubba send me a
woman? I have no need for a woman.

260
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,404
She's a sorceress. He wishes
her dead but is afraid of a curse.

261
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:23,232
Saggy tits, stinking
breath, but...

262
00:17:23,276 --> 00:17:26,542
You will be rewarded
her head's weight in silver.

263
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:28,445
A sorceress?

264
00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:33,643
She has the face of a
she-wolf. Does she bite?

265
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:36,451
Yes, she bites.

266
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:37,650
Leave her with me.

267
00:17:37,690 --> 00:17:40,956
I will do as Ubba asks
and she will die. Slowly.

268
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:46,255
You belong to me now, old man.

269
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:49,531
And you will die slowly
unless you do as I say.

270
00:17:50,136 --> 00:17:51,570
On your feet.

271
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:55,837
We're going for a walk, and
you will keep your mouth shut.

272
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:01,643
- This is so foolish.
- Shh, shh.

273
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:03,843
Ubba will come look for me.

274
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,408
And he will be here soon.

275
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:06,612
I said be quiet.

276
00:18:06,652 --> 00:18:09,952
Then I'll wait for him
here. I'll wait for Ubba here.

277
00:18:12,692 --> 00:18:14,593
That means it's just you and me.

278
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:32,404
<i>Where is Storri? He's
supposed to be here.</i>

279
00:18:35,681 --> 00:18:37,013
<i>Edmund?</i>

280
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:39,411
Edmund?

281
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:42,512
Edmund?

282
00:18:43,089 --> 00:18:46,491
Edm...

283
00:18:46,525 --> 00:18:48,187
Can we have some ale?

284
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:51,755
Miserable King
Edmund of East Anglia.

285
00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:56,360
You have had a night to consider
my offer. How do you answer?

286
00:18:58,037 --> 00:18:59,869
Are you dead or breathing still?

287
00:18:59,905 --> 00:19:03,672
With luck, he's dead. We allow
far too many of them to live as it is.

288
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:05,007
You allow nothing.

289
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:06,342
He lives.

290
00:19:06,379 --> 00:19:08,211
It's God who decides who lives.

291
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:10,773
I would say your God
has left you hanging, sir.

292
00:19:10,816 --> 00:19:14,412
<i>If He has done so, it's
because it is His will.</i>

293
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:19,023
Take him down! And
do not to let him fall.

294
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:21,357
And ale! And for Earl Guthrum.

295
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:22,555
I don't understand.

296
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:25,087
We do this all time, we
allow half of them to live.

297
00:19:25,131 --> 00:19:27,532
I say kill them all. All
but the young women.

298
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:29,194
<i>And who should work the fields?</i>

299
00:19:29,235 --> 00:19:31,431
<i>The old women,
the pregnant women.</i>

300
00:19:32,571 --> 00:19:34,335
<i>Put him there.</i>

301
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:37,002
- And give the man some ale!
- Earl Ubba?

302
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:40,470
If I may speak freely?

303
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:41,947
I know you.

304
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:44,041
I am Uhtred Ragnarson.

305
00:19:44,083 --> 00:19:45,794
I'm here with the truth
of how my father died.

306
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:50,153
Yes, you are Ragnar's
slave and you killed him!

307
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:51,600
I don't know what
stories you've heard,

308
00:19:51,624 --> 00:19:53,593
but Earl Ragnar was
killed by his own, by Danes.

309
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:58,054
His former ship's master, Kjartan,
and his half-blind son, Sven.

310
00:19:58,097 --> 00:20:00,123
They led the attack on a
sleeping wedding party.

311
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,158
Can't you see that we
are entertaining a king?

312
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:04,966
Lord Ubba, I am telling you that
Earl Ragnar was killed by Danes!

313
00:20:05,004 --> 00:20:06,905
You be quiet, boy!

314
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:08,464
- And you will wait.
- Kill him.

315
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:10,373
<i>Not another word.</i>

316
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,844
Bar the doors, he does
not leave. Guthrum is right.

317
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:16,337
We are entertaining a king,
so no more interruptions.

318
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:20,012
I just have to know.
Who is that? Hmm?

319
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:24,513
His eyes are watching me.

320
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:25,684
And me.

321
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:28,320
Who's what? Who?

322
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:30,329
The other half-naked image here.

323
00:20:31,997 --> 00:20:33,465
<i>Who is it?</i>

324
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:36,596
That is Saint Sebastian,

325
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:38,934
a former Roman
soldier who found God.

326
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:40,371
<i>Found him where?</i>

327
00:20:40,873 --> 00:20:41,897
He...

328
00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:43,432
He found him
in his heart, not...

329
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:47,910
Do you wish me
to tell you his story?

330
00:20:47,947 --> 00:20:49,415
I have time.

331
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,088
<i>The Emperor of Rome, on discovering
that Sebastian had found God,</i>

332
00:20:58,124 --> 00:21:00,753
<i>ordered him to renounce
his faith. He refused.</i>

333
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:05,094
So, then the Emperor ordered
that he be filled full of arrows.

334
00:21:05,131 --> 00:21:07,566
And yet, he lived.

335
00:21:09,635 --> 00:21:11,365
- He lived?
- Yes, he did.

336
00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:12,268
Is this true?

337
00:21:12,304 --> 00:21:14,205
Of course, it's true.

338
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,677
God saved Saint Sebastian and
God should be praised for that mercy.

339
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:19,235
For how long did he live?

340
00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:22,213
Well, sadly he...

341
00:21:22,248 --> 00:21:25,047
He then ordered him to
be, uh, clubbed to death.

342
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:28,546
So, he died?

343
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:30,249
He went to heaven, so he lived.

344
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:33,018
I heard mention
of this "heaven".

345
00:21:33,058 --> 00:21:34,754
Ah, what is this "heaven"?

346
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,820
Heaven is Valhalla,
Lord, to the Christians,

347
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:39,024
but without the fighting,
feasting and humping.

348
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:42,592
Heaven is heaven!
It's not heathen.

349
00:21:44,403 --> 00:21:46,668
But to answer your
very first question,

350
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:48,537
I have considered your offer,

351
00:21:48,574 --> 00:21:52,306
and yes, I will continue to rule
East Anglia, as you suggest.

352
00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,245
<i>I will suffer your presence.</i>

353
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,981
I will provide you with horses,
food, coin and hostages.

354
00:22:00,019 --> 00:22:02,045
I will do all that you demand.

355
00:22:03,055 --> 00:22:04,318
<i>But...</i>

356
00:22:05,124 --> 00:22:08,754
Only if you, Lord Ubba,

357
00:22:08,794 --> 00:22:10,456
and all of your men

358
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:12,693
submit to God.

359
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:15,495
That is my demand.

360
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:18,003
You must be baptised.

361
00:22:21,607 --> 00:22:23,667
You must stand
in a barrel of water,

362
00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:25,644
and they pour
more water over you.

363
00:22:27,947 --> 00:22:30,178
- They want to wash me?
- No.

364
00:22:30,216 --> 00:22:32,082
Your scent upsets them, Ubba.

365
00:22:32,117 --> 00:22:33,745
No, to cleanse you of your sins.

366
00:22:33,786 --> 00:22:37,052
There is only one God, and
I demand that you serve him.

367
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:38,352
Kill him now!

368
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:40,382
- Why must I serve him?
- Because God is great.

369
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:42,258
All powerful. All magnificent.

370
00:22:42,294 --> 00:22:44,820
Have him stop his
yapping and prove it!

371
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,059
Ah, agreed.

372
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:48,863
Prove to me your
God is great. Prove it.

373
00:22:48,901 --> 00:22:51,996
Prove? Look! Here!

374
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:54,233
God spared Saint Sebastian.

375
00:22:54,273 --> 00:22:56,504
- But the man still died.
- Because it was God's will!

376
00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:58,738
So would your God
protect you from my arrows?

377
00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:00,370
If he was all
powerful, he would.

378
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:02,677
Yes! If it was God's
will, he would, yes!

379
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:04,149
<i>So let us try.</i>

380
00:23:05,517 --> 00:23:09,420
We shall shoot arrows at
you, and if you survive...

381
00:23:11,924 --> 00:23:14,257
We will all be washed.

382
00:23:15,094 --> 00:23:16,756
Including Guthrum here.

383
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:17,956
Why not?

384
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:25,563
Very well.

385
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:32,309
I will continue to be King,

386
00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:36,514
but we will dispense with
the need for the baptisms.

387
00:23:37,182 --> 00:23:39,208
The, uh... The washing.

388
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:40,879
I withdraw my request.

389
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,617
But you claim your
God is all powerful.

390
00:23:44,924 --> 00:23:46,483
I want it proven.

391
00:23:47,192 --> 00:23:48,683
- Uh...
- Strip him.

392
00:23:49,662 --> 00:23:50,662
Archers.

393
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,234
<i>Wait!</i>

394
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:06,169
Tell me truthfully.

395
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:09,205
Are you afraid?

396
00:24:10,382 --> 00:24:11,714
God is great.

397
00:24:14,086 --> 00:24:15,554
We will see.

398
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:21,986
Shoot.

399
00:24:24,063 --> 00:24:26,897
- Shoot!
- Ah, ah, ah...

400
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:30,334
They are my men and only
I tell them when to shoot.

401
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:34,134
Shoot.

402
00:24:39,845 --> 00:24:41,074
Do you now wish to be clubbed,

403
00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:42,672
or will the arrows
be sufficient?

404
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:49,080
You've come a long way, boy,

405
00:24:49,121 --> 00:24:53,354
to tell me that it was Danes,
and not you, that killed Ragnar.

406
00:24:53,392 --> 00:24:56,760
It was Kjartan and
Sven, Lord. And others.

407
00:24:58,430 --> 00:25:00,558
It's the truth. Why
else would I be here?

408
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:02,090
To spy.

409
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:03,602
- To lie.
- No, Lord.

410
00:25:05,204 --> 00:25:07,696
- Perhaps to kill me?
- No, Lord.

411
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:08,935
Have you been washed?

412
00:25:10,542 --> 00:25:11,840
Odin is my God.

413
00:25:11,877 --> 00:25:13,743
<i>But have you been washed?</i>

414
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,042
Yes, Lord.

415
00:25:16,982 --> 00:25:18,177
How did it feel?

416
00:25:20,452 --> 00:25:21,385
The washing?

417
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:24,117
Cold, Lord. The water was cold.

418
00:25:24,156 --> 00:25:25,556
<i>Nothing else?</i>

419
00:25:25,591 --> 00:25:28,186
I was a child, Lord.
Now I am a Dane.

420
00:25:28,727 --> 00:25:30,320
Yeah, a Dane...

421
00:25:36,135 --> 00:25:39,071
So, now, let us see

422
00:25:39,104 --> 00:25:41,630
if Odin will protect
you from the arrows.

423
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:44,404
I like this game.

424
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:46,071
- Strip him.
- Keep away from me.

425
00:25:47,646 --> 00:25:48,545
Not another step!

426
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,708
- Archers at the ready.
- I have a hostage!

427
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:51,876
<i>- What?</i>
- I have Storri.

428
00:25:51,917 --> 00:25:52,976
Stop!

429
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:54,145
If I die, he dies.

430
00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:57,156
If I die, your sorcerer dies
and you're without his guidance.

431
00:25:57,189 --> 00:25:58,657
He lies, I can smell it.

432
00:25:58,690 --> 00:26:00,022
<i>I have proof.</i>

433
00:26:00,793 --> 00:26:01,920
His runes.

434
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:06,262
Storri will be
returned to you safely.

435
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:08,233
Take his head
from his shoulders!

436
00:26:08,267 --> 00:26:10,236
Guthrum be quiet!

437
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:12,534
Have them open the doors.

438
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,769
I will release Storri when
I am clear of this place.

439
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:17,071
<i>You go nowhere!</i>

440
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:19,169
Then he dies!
Your sorcerer dies!

441
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:23,338
Have them open the doors.

442
00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:38,758
One day, I will kill you.

443
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:41,028
Storri will tell you otherwise.

444
00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:46,028
And I'm telling you
the truth about Ragnar.

445
00:26:56,648 --> 00:26:59,675
This is what happens when we
allow too many of them to live.

446
00:27:03,155 --> 00:27:05,283
Excellent. Firewood.

447
00:27:09,561 --> 00:27:10,927
You're alive.

448
00:27:11,663 --> 00:27:13,393
That's good.

449
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:14,991
Did he hear you?

450
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:17,969
He did not. Not a word.

451
00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:19,369
What did he say?

452
00:27:19,404 --> 00:27:22,101
- That he'll kill me.
- Nothing else?

453
00:27:22,608 --> 00:27:24,042
Where's Storri?

454
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:26,338
What did he say?

455
00:27:28,547 --> 00:27:31,039
- He's naked.
- It was necessary.

456
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:34,044
He has a branch up his arse.

457
00:27:34,086 --> 00:27:36,146
Which is why he is naked.

458
00:27:37,289 --> 00:27:38,313
Uhtred.

459
00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:49,359
Uhtred.

460
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:51,370
He must have said something.

461
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:54,403
He believes the lie.

462
00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:56,271
He believes that
I killed Ragnar.

463
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:07,615
There's nothing more to do.

464
00:28:12,457 --> 00:28:14,949
We should put distance
between us and this place.

465
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:16,188
And go where?

466
00:28:16,929 --> 00:28:18,591
Anywhere that's not here.

467
00:28:20,332 --> 00:28:22,267
I say we go to Young Ragnar.

468
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:24,333
He's in Ireland.

469
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:25,894
- Then we go to Ireland.
- How?

470
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,873
In what? We sail in what?

471
00:28:27,906 --> 00:28:29,135
And with whom? Danes?

472
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:30,665
Then we wait for him to return.

473
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:32,644
What if he doesn't
return, what then?

474
00:28:36,582 --> 00:28:38,949
Accept it. We're lost.

475
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:41,920
- We're alive and breathing for a reason.
- Brida.

476
00:28:41,954 --> 00:28:43,752
We are no longer Danes.

477
00:29:25,731 --> 00:29:27,359
How much for your work?

478
00:29:28,567 --> 00:29:29,865
For a long sword?

479
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:32,996
Tell me what you need
and I'll tell you a price.

480
00:29:33,038 --> 00:29:35,598
A warrior's sword
to last a lifetime.

481
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:37,474
What are you?

482
00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:40,341
<i>Saxon or Dane?</i>

483
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:43,412
Northumbria.

484
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:48,382
It will take some
time to make her right,

485
00:29:50,355 --> 00:29:52,551
which means she'll be expensive.

486
00:29:52,591 --> 00:29:54,890
If she's right,
I'll pay in silver.

487
00:29:54,926 --> 00:29:56,121
How much?

488
00:29:56,895 --> 00:29:58,261
Ten pieces. Half now.

489
00:29:58,297 --> 00:30:00,163
Six, no more.

490
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:01,928
Eight, and I'll
make her my finest.

491
00:30:01,967 --> 00:30:05,369
Eight. And if she's not
your finest, you'll be her first.

492
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:06,404
Hmm.

493
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:15,205
I want this stone
set into the handle.

494
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:21,747
That can be done.

495
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,479
Don't sell it nor lose it.

496
00:30:42,074 --> 00:30:43,906
<i>Ale, My Lord?</i>

497
00:30:43,942 --> 00:30:46,502
- You stand too close, girl.
<i>- Yes, just a little.</i>

498
00:30:46,545 --> 00:30:48,275
To take away the
taste of the gruel.

499
00:30:48,313 --> 00:30:50,111
You stand too close.

500
00:30:50,816 --> 00:30:53,081
It is broth, not gruel.

501
00:30:53,418 --> 00:30:54,317
Is it?

502
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:57,118
Well, I think it is.

503
00:30:57,155 --> 00:30:59,147
You should be thanking
God for its goodness

504
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:01,285
and the banishment
of those awful cramps.

505
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:03,893
I am happy to eat as you eat.

506
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:05,273
Ah, well, you are
saintly, my dear.

507
00:31:05,297 --> 00:31:09,098
Father Beocca, join us
for breakfast. I dare you.

508
00:31:09,134 --> 00:31:10,932
Alas, My Lord,
I've already eaten.

509
00:31:10,969 --> 00:31:12,767
Ah, you're fortunate.

510
00:31:12,804 --> 00:31:15,933
Bad news, Lord. Uh,
your nephew, Aethelwold.

511
00:31:15,974 --> 00:31:17,306
Isn't it always?

512
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:19,811
He's drunk, he's sleeping
in the palace gardens.

513
00:31:19,845 --> 00:31:21,473
<i>Should I take him to the king?</i>

514
00:31:21,513 --> 00:31:23,345
<i>It's the second time this week.</i>

515
00:31:23,382 --> 00:31:26,375
May God strike
him down, painfully.

516
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,824
- What? What?
- On your feet, boy.

517
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:38,160
Wait! Wait, wait, wait...

518
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:40,563
Come on. King wants to see you.

519
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:42,695
Drunk!

520
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:45,069
<i>What, again?</i>

521
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,171
<i>You think this is fit?</i>

522
00:31:47,205 --> 00:31:49,299
Out, all of you. Leave us.

523
00:31:51,877 --> 00:31:53,004
Do you think this is fit?

524
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:55,206
I have been mistreated.

525
00:31:55,247 --> 00:31:57,478
You saw this for yourself.

526
00:31:57,516 --> 00:32:01,112
I demand that this...
This bear is punished.

527
00:32:01,153 --> 00:32:04,590
Aethelwold, your years do not hide
the fact that you are a disappointment.

528
00:32:04,623 --> 00:32:05,989
May I ask why?

529
00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:10,223
That you need to ask tells
your father all he needs to know.

530
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:12,925
- What?
- That you are an unsuitable heir,

531
00:32:12,964 --> 00:32:14,193
that is what.

532
00:32:17,135 --> 00:32:18,262
Then I will change.

533
00:32:19,371 --> 00:32:20,862
- You should!
- I will.

534
00:32:20,906 --> 00:32:24,638
Look, all I ask is that you
become a man, and quickly.

535
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,042
Today.

536
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:30,210
Today. I promise.

537
00:32:36,855 --> 00:32:38,346
Am I excused?

538
00:32:45,597 --> 00:32:46,597
My Lords.

539
00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:54,697
I'm not convinced he is my son.

540
00:32:54,739 --> 00:32:58,506
If his mother were not already dead,
I'd have her beheaded for adultery.

541
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:06,983
If I'm to fall in the
battles that will come,

542
00:33:08,019 --> 00:33:09,487
he cannot be king.

543
00:33:11,356 --> 00:33:14,292
- You favour Alfred?
- I do.

544
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:19,128
Even though he is
often... Weak in body?

545
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:21,497
Well, that his illness
does not tie him to his bed

546
00:33:21,533 --> 00:33:23,195
shows the strength
of my brother.

547
00:33:23,235 --> 00:33:24,703
Alfred is my heir.

548
00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:26,664
He knows it.

549
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:31,374
And when the time
comes, Odda, my friend,

550
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:35,403
you must steer the
Witan to make this choice.

551
00:33:37,282 --> 00:33:38,375
My Lord.

552
00:33:44,422 --> 00:33:46,687
It's done.

553
00:33:46,725 --> 00:33:51,663
Should be safe for now. They
say Danes rarely come here.

554
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:55,792
What did Storri say to you to
make you bind his mouth and, uh...

555
00:33:55,834 --> 00:33:57,359
He threw a curse.

556
00:33:57,402 --> 00:33:58,563
Saying what?

557
00:33:59,271 --> 00:34:00,967
It's not important.

558
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:02,668
I responded with the branch.

559
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:09,074
What are you doing?

560
00:34:09,114 --> 00:34:11,174
You know what I'm doing.

561
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,617
I'm removing the last
of his curse with a kiss.

562
00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:15,120
I don't want to.

563
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:24,062
If you want to go to the
Danes, then go. Find a new lord.

564
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:29,862
It's me they wish to kill.

565
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:31,199
You sound like a child.

566
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:32,568
I'm offering you a choice.

567
00:34:32,604 --> 00:34:33,936
You're talking
through your arse.

568
00:34:33,972 --> 00:34:35,736
I'm sitting on my arse.

569
00:34:35,774 --> 00:34:38,608
So, your arse is cleverer than
you, it can do two things at once.

570
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:40,168
Thank you.

571
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,511
Your tongue is sharp, woman.

572
00:34:46,217 --> 00:34:48,209
- Show me again.
- No.

573
00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:51,684
You're right.

574
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:55,454
We can't go to Young Ragnar.

575
00:34:58,296 --> 00:35:01,130
But we should wait
for him to find us.

576
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:02,190
Which he will.

577
00:35:02,233 --> 00:35:04,429
He will want to know the truth.

578
00:35:07,372 --> 00:35:09,671
In the time between,
we stay alive.

579
00:35:11,209 --> 00:35:13,075
We pass the time.

580
00:35:13,979 --> 00:35:15,413
Doing what?

581
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:29,350
<i>Hey! Hey, watch out! Get off!</i>

582
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:47,432
I've given her some beauty.

583
00:36:47,472 --> 00:36:50,465
But she is a tool,
no more, no less.

584
00:37:01,186 --> 00:37:03,382
She is exactly as I'd hoped.

585
00:37:04,656 --> 00:37:06,591
- We said ten?
- We said eight.

586
00:37:06,624 --> 00:37:08,320
She's worth ten...

587
00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:12,759
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

588
00:37:12,797 --> 00:37:15,028
Lord, men have
been asking of you.

589
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:16,625
And your woman.

590
00:37:17,802 --> 00:37:19,065
Danes or Saxon?

591
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:21,733
Take your pick. Five or more.

592
00:37:24,676 --> 00:37:26,201
Make her sing.

593
00:37:30,715 --> 00:37:33,583
Brida, we should leave.
There are men looking for us.

594
00:37:33,618 --> 00:37:35,177
<i>- From Ubba?</i>
- I don't know.

595
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:37,155
Saxons and Danes
are looking for us.

596
00:37:37,188 --> 00:37:39,453
We seem to be collecting
enemies as we go.

597
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:49,328
Get to the horses. Go, go, go!

598
00:38:03,148 --> 00:38:05,174
Out of the way! Out of the way!
- <i>Hey!</i>

599
00:39:10,882 --> 00:39:13,113
Brida, the horses
are just there.

600
00:39:13,151 --> 00:39:15,586
Wait, there's another!
We have to go, come!

601
00:39:28,766 --> 00:39:30,064
Brida, the door!

602
00:39:31,703 --> 00:39:32,703
Wait.

603
00:39:35,473 --> 00:39:37,271
Wait, wait...

604
00:39:38,443 --> 00:39:39,443
<i>Now!</i>

605
00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:52,256
You're right. We should leave.

606
00:39:54,259 --> 00:39:55,750
Whoever it was that sent them,

607
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:57,955
Ubba or your uncle,
they won't rest.

608
00:39:58,563 --> 00:40:00,054
There'll be others.

609
00:40:03,368 --> 00:40:06,668
I can't go home without help.

610
00:40:06,704 --> 00:40:10,072
Uhtred, you should
forget Bebbanburg.

611
00:40:12,911 --> 00:40:14,209
No.

612
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:16,271
No, I won't vanish.

613
00:40:18,383 --> 00:40:19,817
Nothing changes.

614
00:40:19,851 --> 00:40:22,116
Kjartan and my uncle
will pay for Ragnar's death,

615
00:40:22,153 --> 00:40:24,054
and I will have those lands.

616
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:27,490
<i>How? With whose help?</i>

617
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,391
<i>You said yourself
we only have Ubba...</i>

618
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:30,759
The English.

619
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:34,222
If we're dead to the
Danes, we have no choice.

620
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:37,064
There is no England!
The Danes have England.

621
00:40:37,101 --> 00:40:39,434
No, there is one
place, south of here.

622
00:40:40,038 --> 00:40:41,370
It's Wessex.

623
00:40:41,406 --> 00:40:42,816
They'll take one look at
you and kill you as a Dane.

624
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,503
Whereas Ubba will kill
me as an Englishman.

625
00:40:45,543 --> 00:40:48,411
With King Aethelred, we
have a chance of everything.

626
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:51,676
What do you say?

627
00:40:52,583 --> 00:40:54,176
Come with me?

628
00:41:24,215 --> 00:41:26,081
Why do they stare?

629
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,514
They think you're pretty.

630
00:41:28,553 --> 00:41:29,919
Huh.

631
00:41:29,954 --> 00:41:32,480
Or, they've never
seen a Dane so close.

632
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:35,025
But they will.

633
00:42:17,468 --> 00:42:19,960
We have business
with the king, Aethelred.

634
00:42:20,004 --> 00:42:21,768
<i>Go home!</i>

635
00:42:21,806 --> 00:42:24,002
I say, we have
business with the king.

636
00:42:25,443 --> 00:42:27,344
Do you not understand English?

637
00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:31,975
Is that what you're speaking,
arseling? You sound like a Dane.

638
00:42:32,016 --> 00:42:35,145
Why do you dress as a warrior
when you're clearly a farmer?

639
00:42:36,988 --> 00:42:39,150
Farmer, am I?

640
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:41,887
Well, I'd wager this farmer
against you at any time.

641
00:42:41,926 --> 00:42:43,861
We're here to see
the king, peaceably.

642
00:42:43,895 --> 00:42:45,386
Uhtred, what are you doing?

643
00:42:45,430 --> 00:42:48,732
What is it farmer, first
blood or to the death?

644
00:42:48,756 --> 00:42:49,367
Uhtred!

645
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,667
I'll be splitting your skull,
boy, so one follows the other.

646
00:42:56,741 --> 00:42:57,902
Uhtred?

647
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:03,681
Father Beocca!

648
00:43:03,714 --> 00:43:05,842
My goodness.

649
00:43:05,883 --> 00:43:07,283
You know this arseling, Father?

650
00:43:07,318 --> 00:43:09,378
<i>I do! Yes, I do.</i>

651
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:12,686
Uhtred, you're...
You're fully grown.

652
00:43:14,492 --> 00:43:16,654
And you're old!

653
00:43:17,395 --> 00:43:18,988
I am.

654
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:21,090
Oh, you're a man.

655
00:43:21,132 --> 00:43:22,643
<i>He claims business
with the king.</i>

656
00:43:22,667 --> 00:43:24,863
Yes. Yes, that's true.

657
00:43:24,902 --> 00:43:26,871
But not with the king,
it must be with Alfred.

658
00:43:26,904 --> 00:43:28,031
You vouch for him?

659
00:43:28,072 --> 00:43:30,598
I vouch for him, yes,
I will vouch for him.

660
00:43:30,641 --> 00:43:32,667
God has sent you, surely.

661
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:34,201
You're a man.

662
00:43:35,913 --> 00:43:40,317
Father, this is Brida,
my greatest friend.

663
00:43:41,385 --> 00:43:42,785
A woman.

664
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:44,083
<i>Yes.</i>

665
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:45,455
I am.

666
00:43:49,127 --> 00:43:50,527
I have tits.

667
00:43:51,395 --> 00:43:52,488
I see.

668
00:43:54,232 --> 00:43:56,531
Have their horses
fed and watered.

669
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:58,832
And I'll inform Alfred that
you're here with me, both.

670
00:43:58,870 --> 00:44:00,498
We need their weapons, Father.

671
00:44:00,538 --> 00:44:02,097
Why not inform the king?

672
00:44:02,140 --> 00:44:03,836
The king is busy...

673
00:44:03,875 --> 00:44:07,243
But you will like Alfred.
He's an impressive man.

674
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:10,141
Come.

675
00:44:17,555 --> 00:44:18,955
Do you like it?

676
00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:21,550
I do.

677
00:44:23,528 --> 00:44:25,087
It's beautiful.

678
00:44:26,063 --> 00:44:28,089
You could rest
here, it's so quiet.

679
00:44:28,132 --> 00:44:30,260
<i>Peaceful.</i>

680
00:44:30,301 --> 00:44:36,104
The Romans, they built this courtyard
for just that purpose. Tranquility.

681
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:37,506
You're Alfred?

682
00:44:38,276 --> 00:44:39,276
I am.

683
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:41,638
My Lord.

684
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:43,443
You are Uhtred.

685
00:44:43,481 --> 00:44:45,780
I hear word you are a
considerable warrior.

686
00:44:46,884 --> 00:44:50,116
Not been tested Lord, not yet.

687
00:44:50,154 --> 00:44:51,850
And I've been lucky.

688
00:44:51,889 --> 00:44:54,085
Well, luck is good.

689
00:44:54,125 --> 00:44:56,788
Or so my own warriors say.

690
00:44:56,827 --> 00:45:01,288
Now, I haven't quite worked
out the theology of luck.

691
00:45:01,332 --> 00:45:03,927
Can there be luck
if God disposes?

692
00:45:06,304 --> 00:45:08,705
Well, if your God's with
you, then you're a lucky man.

693
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:13,007
Yes. You're right.

694
00:45:13,878 --> 00:45:15,938
Simply put, but you are right.

695
00:45:15,980 --> 00:45:18,472
With me. We shall
talk inside, briefly.

696
00:45:32,363 --> 00:45:35,128
<i>I spend much of my time in here.</i>

697
00:45:36,067 --> 00:45:37,831
<i>Do you read, Uhtred?</i>

698
00:45:37,868 --> 00:45:42,431
Schooled as a child by Father
Beocca, I was not a good student.

699
00:45:42,473 --> 00:45:44,271
There's much to
know outside of letters.

700
00:45:44,308 --> 00:45:46,800
Oh, I am certain there is.

701
00:45:46,844 --> 00:45:49,939
But do not underestimate
the power of the written word.

702
00:45:49,981 --> 00:45:53,509
When a man dies, if nothing
is written, he is soon forgotten.

703
00:45:53,551 --> 00:45:55,986
For instance, who is
remembering Earl Ragnar?

704
00:45:56,020 --> 00:45:57,283
You know of Ragnar?

705
00:45:59,090 --> 00:46:02,322
Father Beocca has talked
much about you, Uhtred.

706
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,886
He believed you a prisoner.

707
00:46:04,929 --> 00:46:07,023
A slave to Earl
Ragnar. Is that the case?

708
00:46:07,064 --> 00:46:09,056
Ragnar was a father to me.

709
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:12,866
<i>I loved him.</i>

710
00:46:12,903 --> 00:46:16,101
Yet in Eoferwic, they are
saying that you killed him.

711
00:46:16,140 --> 00:46:17,267
They lie.

712
00:46:20,745 --> 00:46:24,238
Kajartan. "Kajartan", is
that how you pronounce it?

713
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:26,251
- Kjartan?
- Kjartan...

714
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:29,118
Has benefitted most
from Ragnar's death.

715
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:32,282
He has taken his place
and is Earl Kjartan now.

716
00:46:32,323 --> 00:46:34,189
A great lord, with ships.

717
00:46:34,225 --> 00:46:35,591
That's written down?

718
00:46:35,626 --> 00:46:38,323
Whatever I discover about
my enemies is written down.

719
00:46:39,697 --> 00:46:42,326
It is in Kjartan's interest
to kill you, is it not?

720
00:46:42,366 --> 00:46:46,428
He would not want Ragnar's
son to hear a different tale.

721
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,598
He would not wish
him to hear the truth, no.

722
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:49,698
<i>No.</i>

723
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:51,538
<i>And the chieftain Ubba,</i>

724
00:46:51,575 --> 00:46:53,806
although he himself
has now travelled north,

725
00:46:53,844 --> 00:46:57,906
he has sent men to Mercia,
asking of your whereabouts.

726
00:46:57,948 --> 00:47:00,179
But not your welfare, I surmise?

727
00:47:01,118 --> 00:47:02,586
How do you come by all of this?

728
00:47:02,620 --> 00:47:05,681
I have eyes and ears
in each of the kingdoms.

729
00:47:10,394 --> 00:47:12,124
One day,

730
00:47:12,163 --> 00:47:16,794
it is my hope that all
kingdoms will become one,

731
00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:19,167
united under one God.

732
00:47:20,438 --> 00:47:21,565
One king?

733
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,675
If all men can agree, yes.

734
00:47:27,278 --> 00:47:31,045
<i>All that remains of
England is Wessex.</i>

735
00:47:32,683 --> 00:47:34,584
The birth of an England,

736
00:47:34,618 --> 00:47:38,646
the idea of a single kingdom

737
00:47:39,890 --> 00:47:41,518
called England

738
00:47:42,626 --> 00:47:44,390
has to begin here.

739
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:47,422
<i>There is nowhere else.</i>

740
00:47:47,465 --> 00:47:50,264
But for how long
will Wessex remain?

741
00:47:50,301 --> 00:47:55,171
The fate of Wessex will be determined
by Englishmen, all Englishmen.

742
00:47:55,206 --> 00:47:59,507
Only by joining together and
saving Wessex can we have England.

743
00:48:00,644 --> 00:48:03,375
Only by saving
Wessex can we have a...

744
00:48:04,014 --> 00:48:05,880
A Northumbria.

745
00:48:05,916 --> 00:48:07,475
<i>A Bebbanburg.</i>

746
00:48:08,386 --> 00:48:10,321
And if Wessex can't be saved?

747
00:48:11,122 --> 00:48:13,216
Then we are all no more.

748
00:48:17,595 --> 00:48:18,756
Prayers.

749
00:48:25,870 --> 00:48:28,032
And a little discomfort...

750
00:48:33,544 --> 00:48:35,843
I will summarise.

751
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,577
The Danes are
gathering a great army.

752
00:48:38,616 --> 00:48:40,517
They have, in fact,
gathered an army.

753
00:48:40,551 --> 00:48:41,746
They gather where?

754
00:48:41,786 --> 00:48:43,880
They have moved upriver
from Lundene to Readingum.

755
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:45,856
They are settling as we speak.

756
00:48:45,890 --> 00:48:47,934
But you said Ubba is in the
north, so who leads them?

757
00:48:47,958 --> 00:48:49,756
The Earl Guthrum leads them.

758
00:48:49,794 --> 00:48:51,353
I know Guthrum.

759
00:48:53,998 --> 00:48:56,433
We will need every advantage,

760
00:48:56,467 --> 00:49:00,529
and Father Beocca considers
you, Uhtred of Bebbanburg,

761
00:49:00,571 --> 00:49:02,506
to be an advantage.

762
00:49:02,540 --> 00:49:05,601
Whereas I believe
you're here solely to hide,

763
00:49:05,643 --> 00:49:07,305
to save yourself.

764
00:49:10,581 --> 00:49:14,848
I look at you and I see a Dane.

765
00:49:14,885 --> 00:49:19,414
I see Uhtred of Nowhere, who
cares for no one, but himself.

766
00:49:22,393 --> 00:49:25,659
Now, I must go to
prayers. You will join me?

767
00:49:27,665 --> 00:49:29,031
If My Lord will excuse me?

768
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:30,998
<i>Us both.</i>

769
00:49:31,936 --> 00:49:33,802
Of course.

770
00:49:33,838 --> 00:49:35,568
I expected as much.

771
00:49:36,907 --> 00:49:38,307
Father Beocca.

772
00:49:38,342 --> 00:49:39,275
<i>Lord?</i>

773
00:49:39,310 --> 00:49:41,370
Take your guests
for refreshments.

774
00:49:41,412 --> 00:49:42,607
I will, My Lord.

775
00:49:42,646 --> 00:49:46,014
They may remain in Winchester,
but I hold you responsible.

776
00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:47,450
Yes, Lord.

777
00:49:52,289 --> 00:49:54,155
You should have gone
along and prayed with him,

778
00:49:54,191 --> 00:49:56,660
- it would have bonded you.
- He believes we are pagans.

779
00:49:56,694 --> 00:49:59,562
What Alfred believes is that
the Danes have abandoned you.

780
00:49:59,597 --> 00:50:02,260
Ubba has abandoned
us. There are other lords.

781
00:50:02,299 --> 00:50:04,996
Most, if not all, follow Ubba,

782
00:50:05,035 --> 00:50:07,163
so believe me, girl, you
have been abandoned!

783
00:50:07,204 --> 00:50:08,982
Yeah, you know everything
about the Danes, don't you?

784
00:50:09,006 --> 00:50:11,475
This way. I want to
show you something.

785
00:50:14,712 --> 00:50:16,772
The Charters of Bebbanburg.

786
00:50:16,814 --> 00:50:18,840
<i>Yeah, the land books, yeah.</i>

787
00:50:18,883 --> 00:50:20,545
You kept them safe.

788
00:50:20,584 --> 00:50:22,519
I have shown
them to Alfred. He...

789
00:50:22,553 --> 00:50:25,785
He knows you are
the Ealdorman by right.

790
00:50:28,526 --> 00:50:32,554
I will continue to keep
them safe. But, Uhtred, you...

791
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:34,997
You must behave
like an Ealdorman.

792
00:50:44,375 --> 00:50:47,709
The charters have no meaning.
Northumbria belongs to the Danes.

793
00:50:47,745 --> 00:50:50,647
<i>It does not belong to the
Danes, it has been stolen by them.</i>

794
00:50:50,681 --> 00:50:53,879
<i>If you want wealth, you take
it! You can't ignore what's true.</i>

795
00:50:53,918 --> 00:50:56,319
If the Danes are at
Readingum, I'll go to Readingum.

796
00:50:56,353 --> 00:50:58,515
- What?
- For what purpose?

797
00:50:58,556 --> 00:51:00,024
<i>Knowledge.</i>

798
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:02,135
But we have knowledge, and you
should stay away from the Danes.

799
00:51:02,159 --> 00:51:03,593
For new knowledge.

800
00:51:03,627 --> 00:51:06,256
You know where they're
settling, but you don't know why.

801
00:51:06,297 --> 00:51:08,266
<i>We know their number
and their position.</i>

802
00:51:08,299 --> 00:51:11,394
Not their intention.
Am I a prisoner?

803
00:51:12,836 --> 00:51:14,998
Their intention is to attack.

804
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:16,968
When?

805
00:51:17,875 --> 00:51:19,434
Spring. It's always spring.

806
00:51:19,476 --> 00:51:22,036
I'll go to Readingum.
Where is it?

807
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:23,945
<i>- It's too dangerous.</i>
- Not for me.

808
00:51:23,981 --> 00:51:25,847
I'm a godless Dane, remember?

809
00:51:25,883 --> 00:51:27,181
So, why spy for Alfred?

810
00:51:27,217 --> 00:51:29,550
Because he is an
Ealdorman of England.

811
00:51:40,097 --> 00:51:41,793
<i>Lord.</i>

812
00:51:41,832 --> 00:51:45,132
Regarding the conversion
of the pagans to Christianity.

813
00:51:45,169 --> 00:51:46,262
Yes, Lord?

814
00:51:46,303 --> 00:51:49,102
How do we decide what is proper?

815
00:51:49,139 --> 00:51:51,540
To enlighten them
or to kill them?

816
00:51:52,576 --> 00:51:56,035
Spreading God's word
is, of course, our mission,

817
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,414
but I fear that the
pagans, the true pagans,

818
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:02,750
must first witness
and feel His power.

819
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:12,824
Uhtred, uh, will return?

820
00:52:12,863 --> 00:52:14,058
Yes, he will return.

821
00:52:14,098 --> 00:52:16,329
Yes, but how will he
return? As who? As what?

822
00:52:16,367 --> 00:52:19,235
- I know this boy.
- Ah, no, this boy is now a man.

823
00:52:20,838 --> 00:52:21,897
I know his soul.

824
00:52:21,939 --> 00:52:24,238
Father Beocca, he has no soul.

825
00:52:24,274 --> 00:52:29,508
And you say yourself, the pagans
need to feel the power of God.

826
00:52:29,546 --> 00:52:31,572
It is written now, here.

827
00:52:32,650 --> 00:52:35,051
<i>You may leave me.</i>

828
00:52:35,085 --> 00:52:38,146
We shall see what
the days bring, My Lord.

829
00:53:01,145 --> 00:53:03,114
If resting through the
winter was their intention,

830
00:53:03,147 --> 00:53:05,207
they would have
remained in Lundene, yes?

831
00:53:06,817 --> 00:53:08,376
It's you who's Alfred's spy.

832
00:53:08,419 --> 00:53:09,887
The next step
is to kill for him.

833
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,479
- Will you do that?
- Answer me this.

834
00:53:11,522 --> 00:53:14,651
If we were to cross this river and
find Guthrum, what would happen?

835
00:53:14,692 --> 00:53:16,183
<i>He'd kill us both.</i>

836
00:53:16,226 --> 00:53:19,025
<i>We owe them nothing.</i>

837
00:53:19,063 --> 00:53:21,965
Alfred needs to know about the
Danes, and I need to win his trust!

838
00:53:21,999 --> 00:53:25,265
You think he'll deliver you
Bebbanburg. What if you're wrong?

839
00:53:43,754 --> 00:53:46,849
Alfred, you have called
council. For what reason?

840
00:53:46,890 --> 00:53:48,950
Lord, forgive me, it may
well be for no good reason,

841
00:53:48,992 --> 00:53:50,460
but we have a pagan in court

842
00:53:50,494 --> 00:53:52,690
who claims to have knowledge,
regarding the Dane army.

843
00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:54,255
- Pagan?
- Forgive me, Lord,

844
00:53:54,298 --> 00:53:57,530
he is Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
I vouch for his word.

845
00:53:58,802 --> 00:54:00,100
Uhtred!

846
00:54:02,005 --> 00:54:03,132
Lord.

847
00:54:06,677 --> 00:54:08,168
I've been to Readingum.

848
00:54:08,212 --> 00:54:10,647
I have watched the Danes.
Their intention is not to settle.

849
00:54:10,681 --> 00:54:13,048
If it were, they would've
remained in Lundene.

850
00:54:13,083 --> 00:54:15,712
You are saying what,
that they intend to attack?

851
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:17,449
- I am, Lord.
- We already know this.

852
00:54:17,488 --> 00:54:18,698
Come spring,
they'll be at our door.

853
00:54:18,722 --> 00:54:20,884
They'll be marching within
days, Lord, I'm sure of it.

854
00:54:20,924 --> 00:54:23,369
How can you possibly be sure of
it? The ground is sodden all around,

855
00:54:23,393 --> 00:54:25,138
- it makes no sense.
- They made their sacrifices.

856
00:54:25,162 --> 00:54:27,893
The ordinary warriors, they've
caught and killed birds, jackdaws.

857
00:54:27,931 --> 00:54:30,025
This is only done in
the days before battle.

858
00:54:30,067 --> 00:54:31,262
And they are hungry.

859
00:54:31,301 --> 00:54:33,012
Then perhaps they have
eaten these jackdaws.

860
00:54:33,036 --> 00:54:35,471
They've many hundreds of men
and horses, and few supplies.

861
00:54:35,506 --> 00:54:38,601
They'll first seize a town
rich with grain and livestock.

862
00:54:38,642 --> 00:54:40,620
I do not know the country
well, but I have travelled.

863
00:54:40,644 --> 00:54:43,512
I believe Abbendum
is such a place.

864
00:54:43,547 --> 00:54:44,981
To defeat the Danes,

865
00:54:45,015 --> 00:54:48,884
you must meet them on
the road to Abbendum.

866
00:54:48,919 --> 00:54:50,581
It will be within days, Lord.

867
00:54:50,621 --> 00:54:52,385
<i>You went to Readingum alone?</i>

868
00:54:52,422 --> 00:54:53,720
With Brida.

869
00:54:53,757 --> 00:54:55,157
Why alone?

870
00:54:55,759 --> 00:54:57,250
Why not?

871
00:54:57,294 --> 00:54:59,139
Well, because for most of your
life, you have lived as a Dane.

872
00:54:59,163 --> 00:55:01,826
You look like a Dane, you can
speak the language of a Dane,

873
00:55:01,865 --> 00:55:05,165
therefore, I surmise you
can set a trap like a Dane.

874
00:55:05,202 --> 00:55:07,501
Agreed, My Lord. He
imagines we are jackdaws.

875
00:55:07,538 --> 00:55:09,632
<i>Where on the road to Abbendum?</i>

876
00:55:09,673 --> 00:55:11,217
Where would you
choose to meet their army?

877
00:55:11,241 --> 00:55:13,186
I would choose the place
called Asec's Hill, Lord.

878
00:55:13,210 --> 00:55:15,179
You would choose or
Guthrum would choose?

879
00:55:15,212 --> 00:55:18,341
I've seen it. The pass narrows,
you cannot be outflanked.

880
00:55:18,382 --> 00:55:20,578
For the Danes to fight
uphill, it will be difficult,

881
00:55:20,617 --> 00:55:23,246
but they'll be confident.
They don't fear West Saxons.

882
00:55:23,287 --> 00:55:26,052
Why? Why do they not fear us?

883
00:55:26,089 --> 00:55:29,685
They believe you to be
farmers, nothing more.

884
00:55:29,726 --> 00:55:32,252
So, even with the sun in
their eyes, which is possible,

885
00:55:32,296 --> 00:55:35,164
they will climb the hill to fight,
and that can be to our advantage.

886
00:55:35,199 --> 00:55:36,997
<i>"To our advantage", he says.</i>

887
00:55:37,034 --> 00:55:38,511
You've been here
for a matter of days,

888
00:55:38,535 --> 00:55:40,561
and already you
claim to be of Wessex.

889
00:55:40,604 --> 00:55:43,699
<i>This is nonsense. This is all
far too convenient, My Lord.</i>

890
00:55:43,740 --> 00:55:44,553
I, for one, cannot...

891
00:55:44,577 --> 00:55:46,252
My Lord, my sword was
made by a Saxon smith.

892
00:55:46,276 --> 00:55:48,006
My sword is for Wessex.

893
00:55:48,045 --> 00:55:49,761
Do not interrupt a noble
when he is speaking.

894
00:55:49,785 --> 00:55:50,056
- <i>Odda.</i>

895
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,050
- I believe this man and
this bag of rags - Odda...

896
00:55:53,083 --> 00:55:55,428
to be imposters... No army
marches as winter approaches, never.

897
00:55:55,452 --> 00:55:57,353
Young Odda, enough from you now!

898
00:55:58,722 --> 00:56:00,054
My Lord.

899
00:56:04,628 --> 00:56:05,628
You.

900
00:56:07,364 --> 00:56:10,857
You've spoken and given
this council much to discuss.

901
00:56:10,901 --> 00:56:12,233
My Lord.

902
00:56:14,805 --> 00:56:17,468
Alfred, he's here at your
invitation. What now?

903
00:56:18,876 --> 00:56:23,337
Should the Danes march,
we must face them...

904
00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:26,646
And I would rather be at the
top of a hill than on the flat.

905
00:56:27,818 --> 00:56:30,253
I say we march to Asec's Hill.

906
00:56:32,356 --> 00:56:33,380
But...

907
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:37,289
Take him.

908
00:56:37,327 --> 00:56:38,989
Take them both,
make them secure.

909
00:56:39,029 --> 00:56:40,429
- My Lord?
- What is this?

910
00:56:41,565 --> 00:56:42,965
I've spoken the truth!

911
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,468
- I've spoken the truth!
- Please!

912
00:56:44,501 --> 00:56:46,561
<i>- Father Beocca!
- My Lord, please.</i>

913
00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:49,596
Beocca, help me! Beocca!

914
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,268
<i>Have faith!</i>

915
00:57:32,316 --> 00:57:34,342
<i>Hold!</i>

916
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:36,446
Hold!

917
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,127
<i>Left flank, hold! Hold!</i>

918
00:57:47,965 --> 00:57:49,490
<i>Archers ready!</i>

919
00:57:57,674 --> 00:57:59,734
<i>On my command!</i>

920
00:57:59,776 --> 00:58:01,039
<i>For God,</i>

921
00:58:01,078 --> 00:58:02,569
<i>for Wessex,</i>

922
00:58:02,612 --> 00:58:04,103
<i>for England!</i>

922
00:58:05,305 --> 00:59:05,760
