For the pain.

364
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:44,954
For the pain you suffer here.

365
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:48,791
You pass blood? From your arse?

366
00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:57,819
It's nothing more than what
grows from the earth, Lord.

367
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:58,970
Drink it.

368
00:28:10,822 --> 00:28:12,518
Is it good?

369
00:28:12,558 --> 00:28:13,856
Oh, not at all.

370
00:28:16,895 --> 00:28:18,921
- Thank you.
- There will be more tomorrow.

371
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:30,600
He will become lost.

372
00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:32,337
I guarantee it.

373
00:28:47,893 --> 00:28:50,294
Were you worried that
I would lose my way?

374
00:28:51,196 --> 00:28:52,960
One path looks like another.

375
00:28:53,932 --> 00:28:55,161
You have explored?

376
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,194
A little.

377
00:28:59,438 --> 00:29:02,135
What do you notice
about this place?

378
00:29:04,209 --> 00:29:05,302
It's wet.

379
00:29:06,345 --> 00:29:07,813
There are no horizons.

380
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:11,075
<i>No sense of something beyond.</i>

381
00:29:13,151 --> 00:29:17,111
My priests have visited
here once or twice to preach.

382
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:19,454
<i>The people are oblivious to God.</i>

383
00:29:25,197 --> 00:29:26,358
You look tired.

384
00:29:27,733 --> 00:29:29,929
Sleep has been a rarity, yes.

385
00:29:33,138 --> 00:29:36,199
My wife would like us
to take a ship to Frankia.

386
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:37,869
To become another king in exile?

387
00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:39,775
So, you admit I am still a king?

388
00:29:43,048 --> 00:29:44,346
We dare not travel.

389
00:29:46,385 --> 00:29:48,945
My son would never survive it.

390
00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:59,487
You should send out
word that you are alive.

391
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:02,330
Asking men to join
you, to follow you.

392
00:30:02,367 --> 00:30:03,995
And then what? Fight?

393
00:30:05,003 --> 00:30:06,198
Is that what you would do?

394
00:30:06,238 --> 00:30:07,638
It's what a king would do.

395
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,070
I have given it thought,
of course I have.

396
00:30:13,211 --> 00:30:14,509
And this much I know.

397
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:18,415
If I am to fight,

398
00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:19,918
it would have to
be a single battle,

399
00:30:19,951 --> 00:30:22,386
and soon before yet
more Danes arrive.

400
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:24,916
Before Wessex crumbles

401
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:27,687
skirmish by skirmish,
raid by raid, piece by piece.

402
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:29,558
Therefore...

403
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:31,688
Your first task would be to...

404
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:35,026
Somehow...

405
00:30:35,067 --> 00:30:39,664
Convince the Danes to hold
one great and deciding moment.

406
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:43,665
A single defining battle?

407
00:30:43,709 --> 00:30:44,836
Yes.

408
00:30:46,044 --> 00:30:48,070
Who should I send

409
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:50,912
out into the country
with the news I'm here?

410
00:30:50,949 --> 00:30:52,527
It would have to be
your priests, all of them.

411
00:30:52,551 --> 00:30:53,746
Each in a separate direction.

412
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:55,219
Their prayers are needed here.

413
00:30:58,223 --> 00:31:00,715
Your son grows weaker
despite their prayers.

414
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,060
For that I'm sorry.

415
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:21,238
Every breath is an
effort for him. (SOBS)

416
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,306
I don't know whether to make
him warm or keep him cool.

If it is the only way,

Iseult is a healer.

435
00:32:52,437 --> 00:32:53,666
She could help your son.

436
00:32:58,777 --> 00:32:59,836
Thank you.

437
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:10,212
If you help, then
you better succeed.

you'll be blamed.

We cannot do nothing.

That is not what I'm saying.

441
00:33:16,061 --> 00:33:18,053
Iseult is a Pagan and a woman.

442
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:20,799
She will be blamed,

443
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:22,494
regardless of her meaning well.

444
00:33:32,577 --> 00:33:34,910
If it's true that Alfred
is in the swampland,

445
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:37,541
how long do we wait
for him to come out?

446
00:33:37,582 --> 00:33:38,914
If he is hiding in
the swampland,

447
00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:40,543
we would be fools
to go searching.

448

Have you seen
anything like this?

00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:46,882
- The monasteries keep words like this.
- No, no, no. Not like this.

about his enemies, he'd write.

he could teach you.

A new horizon, Lord.

724
00:57:02,953 --> 00:57:04,478
ALFRED: A beacon of hope.

725
00:57:09,726 --> 00:57:12,525
God has tested you, Lord.

726
00:57:12,562 --> 00:57:16,260
He's put you into the fire
as a smith would his steel.

727
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:18,667
And like the steel you
have emerged stronger.

728
00:57:22,005 --> 00:57:23,098
Praise him.

729
00:57:24,141 --> 00:57:25,141
Praise him, Lord.

730
00:57:25,976 --> 00:57:28,343
You're right, Beocca.

731
00:57:28,378 --> 00:57:30,779
God works in the
strangest of ways,

732
00:57:32,015 --> 00:57:33,449
known only to himself.

732
00:57:34,305 --> 00:58:34,158
