1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,266
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:07,502
Born a Saxon nobleman, I
was robbed of my ancestral lands
3
00:00:07,608 --> 00:00:09,873
and raised as a
Dane and as a pagan.
4
00:00:09,977 --> 00:00:12,947
I am Uhtred of Bebbanburg
and I shall take what is mine!
5
00:00:13,213 --> 00:00:16,547
But I became King Alfred's
greatest sword warrior
6
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:21,111
defending his Kingdom of Wessex
and his vision of one United England,
7
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:26,553
supported by my loyal band of cut-throats,
barbarians and a fallen priest.
8
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:30,963
I pray that when battle
comes, I will not fail you.
9
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:34,691
I have found happiness
with my wife Gisela,
10
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:36,633
who has given me two children.
11
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:40,037
Alfred has married his own
daughter to the weak Aethelred,
12
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:42,632
who sees himself
as King of Mercia.
13
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:47,075
But, taken by the Danes,
she fell for one warrior Erik,
14
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:48,842
and is coveted by Haesten.
15
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:50,711
[yelling]
16
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:54,515
This Haesten has seemingly
allied himself to Alfred.
17
00:00:54,755 --> 00:00:56,223
He can never be trusted.
18
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:58,851
Now that Alfred's
health is failing,
19
00:00:58,926 --> 00:01:03,227
these are dark and dangerous
times for all the peoples of this land.
20
00:01:05,332 --> 00:01:06,857
Destiny is all.
21
00:01:14,241 --> 00:01:16,437

[man] Protect your King!
25

[yelling]
27
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:02,888
[Alfred] Father Beocca.
28
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:07,618
If what we believe is true
and heaven awaits us?
29
00:02:08,061 --> 00:02:09,495
Which it does, Lord, no doubt.
30
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:11,996
I fear that even if I were
allowed to pass through the gates,
31
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:13,761
it would still feel
like purgatory.
32
00:02:14,001 --> 00:02:16,971
It will not. It
cannot, it is heaven.
33
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,266
What has changed
since I took the crown?
34
00:02:20,841 --> 00:02:22,969
Danes still raid and
slaughter continues
35
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:25,944
and will continue until
the day I die and beyond.
36
00:02:28,415 --> 00:02:29,747
What has been my purpose?
37
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:31,983
Your purpose, Lord,
38
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,410
is that you are God's King.
39
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:37,424
Without you there
would be no church,
40
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:40,160
no Wessex, no laws,
41
00:02:40,961 --> 00:02:43,260
no burhs, no havens of safety,
42
00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:46,122
no idea of an England.
43
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:50,969
What you have done is laid the
foundations for a great and Godly country.
44
00:02:51,038 --> 00:02:53,837
Nothing has changed,
no task is complete.
45
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:57,439
And after I am gone...
46
00:02:58,512 --> 00:02:59,512
what then?
47
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:03,378
What you have
begun will continue.
48
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:05,484
It must.
49
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:09,855
Yes.
50
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:13,221
Thank you, Beocca.
51
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:16,829
It must.
52
00:03:23,403 --> 00:03:26,305
Guards! Turn away now!
53
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:30,410
No man is to show me his face!
54
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:34,237
No man is to see
me before Bloodhair!
55
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:35,715
[grunting]
56
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:38,875
[groaning]
57
00:03:39,486 --> 00:03:41,086
You will go on ahead
and remind the camp
58
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:43,055
that Earl Sigurd must
be the first to see me.
59
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:44,724
Yes, Lady.
60
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:51,021
Once he has my message,
they'll be free to gaze.
61
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:56,594
My... my Lady...
62
00:03:57,104 --> 00:03:59,005
I swear, I did not look at you.
63
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,563
I must take your eyes.
64
00:04:00,674 --> 00:04:03,075
Lady, no, be merciful.
65
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:05,242
And your tongue.
66
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:08,781
Bitch.
67
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:10,249
I will kill...
68
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:12,216
[groans]
69
00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:14,184
No. No.

[yelling]
72
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:38,905
[Skade] Turn away!
73
00:04:40,547 --> 00:04:42,948
Only the women may look at me
74
00:04:43,049 --> 00:04:45,985
until I have told my
Lord what I have seen.
75
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:05,571
Sigurd, my love.
76
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,934
Drink me and
make my vision real.
77
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,348
Let me give you all the
strength that you will need.
78
00:05:25,692 --> 00:05:27,160
I see the death of a king.
79
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:29,628
[screaming]
80
00:05:31,765 --> 00:05:32,926
Which king?
81
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:35,026
I see the death...
82
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:37,362
of Alfred.
83
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:41,168
[yelling]
84
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:43,132
[gasps]
85
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:49,639
It has been seen.
86
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:52,844
It has been seen!
87
00:05:53,653 --> 00:05:56,782
The death of Alfred and the glory
of Odin's warriors has been seen!
88
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:00,183
Our path will not be simple.
89
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:03,894
The gods will demand
that we earn our reward.
90
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:06,660
But I make you this promise...
91
00:06:07,234 --> 00:06:08,274
- [grunts]
- [horse neighs]
92
00:06:08,335 --> 00:06:09,530
[cheering]
93
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:32,591
From the smallest pig,
94
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,591
to the golden crown
upon Alfred's head.
95
00:06:36,429 --> 00:06:41,663
Wessex and everything it holds shall
belong to the Warriors of Bloodhair!
96
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,569
[cheering]
97
00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:53,914

[grunting]
100
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:55,941
Uhtred,
101
00:07:56,643 --> 00:07:58,403
what is your opinion
of Edward's sword skill?
102
00:07:58,445 --> 00:08:01,347
[grunting]
103
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:02,913
[laughs]
104
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:05,418
My opinion, Lord, is that
Steapa is wasting his time.
105
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:07,010
Would you care to explain?
106
00:08:07,354 --> 00:08:08,447
I will lady.
107
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:09,922
Steapa, stop.
108
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:12,091
Stop this nonsense.
109
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:15,424
You should not be using swords.
Skills are taught with a staff.
110
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:16,495
Thank you, Lord.
111
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:18,122
I prefer to feel the
weight of a sword.
112
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:20,133
It is a sign of the
aetheling's bravery.
113
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,668
Let us watch, my dear.
114
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:25,448
Show me what you've learned.
115
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:26,633
He learns by the day.
116
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:27,833
Mother, please.
117
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:29,942
Show me.
118
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,472
[grunting]
119
00:08:37,650 --> 00:08:41,018
[whispering] Lord, that
grubby Dane Haesten is here.

00:08:41,121 --> 00:08:44,023
[grunting]
121
00:08:44,124 --> 00:08:45,990
Uhtred, you must test the boy.
122
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:53,829
[grunting]
123
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:55,334
Put the child on his arse.
124
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:57,064
It is not your place to speak.
125
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:01,238
[groaning]
126
00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:07,075
Oh, bad luck, Edward.
127
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:09,008
Uhtred, we have a visitor.
128
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,082
An old friend of yours.
129
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:17,022
[panting]
130
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:19,758
[Uhtred] Sacrifices were
made so you would live, boy.
131
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,071
From now on, you
practise only with a staff.
132
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:23,188
You learn from being hit.
133
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:27,833
[grunts]
134
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,002
There is warrior inside you.
135
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:31,936
We will find him.
136
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,563
Hmm. Thank you, Uhtred.
137
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:36,908
[Erkenwald] You will do as the
Lord Uhtred says, Prince Edward.
138
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,241
He has your safety
and welfare in mind.
139
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:41,678
Bishop Erkenwald, thank you.
140
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,281
I trust your wife is well?
141
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:44,383
She is.
142
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:45,617
[Erkenwald] Pretty girl.
143
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:47,419
Her name escapes me.
144
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:49,885
She's called Gisela,
Lord, a pagan.
145
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,222
She is once again with child.
146
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:54,259
A boy.
147
00:09:55,128 --> 00:09:56,168
Your child shall be a boy.
148
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:58,962
Brother Godwin has a gift.
149
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:00,966
God-given.
150
00:10:02,235 --> 00:10:03,235
Hmm.
151
00:10:03,970 --> 00:10:05,199
If you will excuse me, Lord.
152
00:10:05,872 --> 00:10:06,872
Of course.
153
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,443
Edward, you are
late for your lessons.
154
00:10:11,211 --> 00:10:12,211
Come.
155
00:10:16,249 --> 00:10:17,249
[sighs]
156
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,719
I hear there are ealdormen
who wish you dead.
157
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:29,058
You made a whore of a
young girl and left her pupped.
158
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:30,392
She is no whore.
159
00:10:31,498 --> 00:10:32,557
Bad Edward.
160
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:34,760
She is no whore.
161
00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:39,269
Say it again, I dare you!
162
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,100
Bad Edward.
163
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:44,302
His name is Sigurd.
164
00:10:45,612 --> 00:10:47,171
His men call him Bloodhair.
165
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:50,914
I do not wish to know why.
Something depraved I'm sure.
166
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:55,143
[Uhtred] I have a man watching
Bloodhair's camp, Lord, but I'm curious...
167
00:10:56,256 --> 00:10:58,020
he's not asked you
to join him, Haesten?
168
00:10:59,692 --> 00:11:00,785
He has.
169
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:02,494
I declined.
170
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:05,329
Like you, I have given my word.
171
00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:09,164
Unlike you, I've accepted
the King's missionary.
172
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:10,931
[Uhtred] Your word
means nothing.
173
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:13,303
[Haesten] Does the peace
between us all not hold?
174
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:17,008
Do my wife and children
not wish to become Christian?
175
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:18,634
[Aelswith] They do?
176
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:22,113
They do, Lady. I've asked
the priest to arrange it.
177
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:23,816
That is good news.
178
00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:25,351
It is certainly news.
179
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,813
It should be an occasion, Lord.
180
00:11:27,887 --> 00:11:29,367
[Alfred] I will
consider it, my dear.
181
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,889
Just as soon as we are done
with Earl Sigurd, Bloodhair.
182
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:33,558
Will he attack or will he raid?
183
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:36,494
[Uhtred] He will raid, Lord. To
assess your strength and readiness.
184
00:11:36,563 --> 00:11:37,895
It is you who must attack.
185
00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:41,126
Destroy his army and send
a message to all northmen.
186
00:11:43,236 --> 00:11:44,236
[inhales sharply]
187
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:46,138
[vomits]
188
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,471
My Lord has eaten
something that is not agreeing?
189
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,312
Too much wine, Lord?
190
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:54,677
[breathes shakily]
191
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:56,381
[exhales]
192
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:58,884
[exhales]
193
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:05,023
[sniffles]
194
00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:12,857
Uhtred, you are right.
195
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,734
Sigurd landing his ships on
Wessex soil is not acceptable.
196
00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:18,668
We will attack,
before the winter bites.
197
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:19,865
Soonest, Lord.
198
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:21,273
Then we march.
199
00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:23,943
Beocca, send word
to Aethelred of Mercia.
200
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:26,403
This is a threat
to both our lands.
201
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:29,515
Our allies must join together
with the guard of Wessex.
202
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,574
Yes, Lord. I shall
draught the letter at once.
203
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:35,018
Inform him, we shall join
him at the Burh of Aescengum.
204
00:12:38,858 --> 00:12:39,882
I will now, um...
205
00:12:42,061 --> 00:12:43,061
take some air.
206
00:12:49,736 --> 00:12:50,931
[door closes]
207
00:12:52,038 --> 00:12:54,064
How is the Lady
Aethelflaed these days?
208
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:55,574
And the child?
209
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,574
Who does the girl resemble...
210
00:12:57,644 --> 00:12:59,121
One more word against
the King's daughter
211
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:00,789
and I will shove that food
so far down your throat
212
00:13:00,813 --> 00:13:02,291
- you'll be shitting it out seconds later.
- [laughs]
213
00:13:02,315 --> 00:13:04,284
I have seen him do
it. It's a small miracle.
214
00:13:04,384 --> 00:13:07,149
I am saying nothing that her
husband Aethelred is not saying.
215
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:09,722
And I would say you
are in Aethelflaed's debt.
216
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:11,934
You have men and ships
not because you earned them,
217
00:13:11,958 --> 00:13:14,120
but solely because she
did kill your lord, Sigefrid.
218
00:13:15,328 --> 00:13:17,263
I have not forgotten
what the bitch did.
219
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:20,899
- I will never forget.
- That is enough.
220
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:21,967
Tell her,
221
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:24,733
I pray our paths
will meet once again.
222
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,399
Haesten... no more.
223
00:13:30,677 --> 00:13:31,770
Bloodhair...
224
00:13:33,012 --> 00:13:35,174
has a woman you
would like, Uhtred.
225
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:37,783
Skade.
226
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:42,345
Her beauty blinds you like the sun,
yet she has all the darkness of the night.
227
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:43,955
She's a seer.
228
00:13:45,591 --> 00:13:47,184
She's of the devil, Father.
229
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:55,832
I would say it was a
pleasure to see you, Uhtred,
230
00:13:58,638 --> 00:13:59,638
but it never is.
231
00:14:00,473 --> 00:14:01,473
Likewise.
232
00:14:04,644 --> 00:14:05,644
May God forgive me,
233
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:08,648
but I'd like to remove that
man's head with a blunt axe.
234
00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:10,810
The King's health, Beocca,
235
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:13,318
it worsens.
236
00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:16,788
From time to time, yes.
237
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:20,983
That is why the time you
spend with the aetheling, Edward,
238
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:22,060
is so important.
239
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:25,991
Alfred's work must continue.
And you can ensure that it does.
240
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:32,962
Tell the King I shall meet him on the
road to Aescengum, or at The Burh.
241
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:34,132
Why? Where are you going?
242
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:35,507
To my wife.
243
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:38,178
Then on to see
Bloodhair for myself.
244
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,642
You should seek the
King's permission...
245
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:42,681
for once.
246
00:14:43,349 --> 00:14:45,477
[indistinct chatter]
247
00:14:51,023 --> 00:14:53,219
[screaming]
248
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:17,573
A good morning, Lord.
249
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:20,209
Ready yourselves and the
horses. We leave before nightfall.
250
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,720
For where?
251
00:15:22,054 --> 00:15:23,054
For battle.
252
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:24,719
And not before time.
253
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,218
I'm a warrior.
254
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:30,061
I'll take this.
255
00:15:33,566 --> 00:15:34,693
What's this Gisela?
256
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,960
We have servants to prepare
food, you should be resting.
257
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:41,096
I have said this to her.
258
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:44,034
How can I rest with this
wild boy inside of me?
259
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:47,239
A priest has just told me the
same, that you are carrying a boy.
260
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:50,782
Of course it's a boy,
he will not keep still.
261
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:52,249
Thankfully, he will be the last.
262
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:54,378
That is not something
you can prevent.
263
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,313
Oh, I know how to prevent it.
264
00:15:57,657 --> 00:15:59,489
He will be, the last.
265
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:08,060
You are marching?
266
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:12,163
Yes, I will join Finan
and then we are marching.
267
00:16:16,175 --> 00:16:17,336
Thyra will be here
268
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:20,280
and I have sent word
home, to Coccham, to Hild.
269
00:16:20,513 --> 00:16:23,073
She will be with you for the
birth should I not return in time.
270
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:25,975
But I promise, I will return.
271
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:27,752
Uh-hmm.
272
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:30,316
And when you do, you
will be sleeping alone.
273
00:16:32,024 --> 00:16:33,185
You would do that to me?
274
00:16:33,292 --> 00:16:35,591
Oh, yes, I will
do that to you...
275
00:16:37,597 --> 00:16:38,597
for a time.
276
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:51,676
We move!
277
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:20,333
[panting, grunts]
278
00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:26,177
Good evening to you.
279
00:17:29,749 --> 00:17:32,184
Though I'm pointing
a sword at your heart...
280
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:34,519
I am a friend.
281
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:37,222
Habit.
282
00:17:38,991 --> 00:17:39,991
With me.
283
00:17:40,092 --> 00:17:41,720
Then you can tell
me about your village.
284
00:17:44,196 --> 00:17:46,188
[screaming]
285
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:54,773
[grunting]
286
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:57,876
You!
287
00:17:58,778 --> 00:17:59,778
Come!
288
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:06,553
Please, God. Holy Father in
heaven, spare me from this ordeal.
289
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:09,164
Stop my heart from beating
and take me now I beg of you,
290
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:11,228
I beg of all the saints in
heaven to strike me down.
291
00:18:11,958 --> 00:18:14,202
Take my soul and hide, and spare
me. Spare me, Lord. Spare me.
292
00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:16,457
It is not death that
I fear, it is the path.
293
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,257
Lord, I beg you.
294
00:18:18,798 --> 00:18:20,562
Stop my heart from
beating and take me now.
295
00:18:21,367 --> 00:18:22,460
Please, please...
296
00:18:22,568 --> 00:18:23,568
Where is the silver?
297
00:18:24,403 --> 00:18:25,234
There is none.
298
00:18:25,304 --> 00:18:26,431
Where is the silver?
299
00:18:26,539 --> 00:18:28,940
I'm begging you to
believe me. I do not lie.
300
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:35,039
If you wish to be cooked
alive, then I will cook you alive.
301
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,949
[monk] There is
no silver. I swear!
302
00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:39,751
Lady...
303
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:41,319
[whimpers]
304
00:18:41,754 --> 00:18:43,279
The silver!
305
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:45,090
[whimpers]
306
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:46,482
You will answer her.
307
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:51,056
I have answered her, Lord.
There is no wealth here.
308
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,396
Put him into the fire.
309
00:18:56,102 --> 00:18:58,662
No, please. Please, I beg you!
310
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:00,305
[crying]
311
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:01,506
The silver!
312
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:04,637
Can any of you holy
men answer for him?
313
00:19:04,744 --> 00:19:05,768
God in heaven, help me!
314
00:19:06,579 --> 00:19:08,980
[screaming]
315
00:19:13,085 --> 00:19:14,085
Help me!
316
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,255
[grunts]
317
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,988
You have no right, Lord. He
was mine to question and to kill.
318
00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:25,523
You have no right.
319
00:19:25,631 --> 00:19:28,692
This is a church, and
a church holds silver.
320
00:19:31,203 --> 00:19:32,203
You.
321
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:34,305
What's your name?
322
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:37,503
I am called Brother
Hubert, Lord.
323
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:41,342
My Lord, I swear, we are a poor church.
We have food and ale but we have no more.
324
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:43,209
Brother Hubert,
325
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:46,662
if you're speaking the truth,
you will take your own life.
326
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,814
You will do it now,
and save your friends.
327
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:51,122
[whimpering]
328
00:19:52,825 --> 00:19:55,192
But, Lord, my soul
will be damned.
329
00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:56,819
Take your life like a warrior!
330
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:58,736
And we shall ask for no
more than food and ale.
331
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:04,629
Lord, I swear.
There is no silver.
332
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:11,840
They're yours, to do
with as you please.
333
00:20:12,178 --> 00:20:14,170
[monks murmuring]
334
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:33,999
Lord, are you certain you
will not use the carriage?
335
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,035
I'm certain. We
ride to Aescengum.
336
00:20:38,037 --> 00:20:39,037
Steapa.
337
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:48,179
[grunts]
338
00:21:12,438 --> 00:21:15,374
[screaming and crying]
339
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:16,641
Lady,
340
00:21:17,042 --> 00:21:19,773
Bloodhair is heading on to the
next village in search of silver.
341
00:21:21,814 --> 00:21:23,391
Did you hear me, Lady?
He is ready to leave.
342
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:24,415
Then let him leave!
343
00:21:25,985 --> 00:21:29,422
We will remain here until I've
finished my work with the priests.
344
00:21:33,058 --> 00:21:34,253
Tell him we will follow.
345
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,092
But he is to leave my guard.
346
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:37,929
Yes.
347
00:21:39,064 --> 00:21:40,123
[groaning]
348
00:21:44,937 --> 00:21:45,937
[door closes]
349
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,233
Good morning, Hubert.
350
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:53,008
I believe you now,
there is no silver.
351
00:21:54,613 --> 00:21:57,276
So what else can you give me?
352
00:21:58,851 --> 00:22:00,843
[crying]
353
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:26,336
Lord, we are ready to march.
354
00:22:27,379 --> 00:22:28,379
Then we should march.
355
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:31,443
But with half of
the guard, no more.
356
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,351
You will follow?
357
00:22:34,787 --> 00:22:37,120
Yes we are allies with Wessex,
358
00:22:38,057 --> 00:22:40,390
but there is talk of Danes
raiding on our northern border.
359
00:22:40,793 --> 00:22:42,659
There are forever Danes
on our northern border.
360
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:44,560
I shall remain here
for the good of Mercia.
361
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:47,359
We cannot neglect our own lands.
362
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,032
Lord, it makes sense to
remain close to Wessex.
363
00:22:53,239 --> 00:22:54,969
Alfred will not live forever
364
00:22:55,674 --> 00:22:57,034
and the aetheling
Edward is a boy.
365
00:22:57,076 --> 00:23:00,046
He seems to be doing his
very best at living forever.
366
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,209
He is constantly ill
but he will not die.
367
00:23:06,352 --> 00:23:08,844
If you see him you should tell
him that I am busy with Vikings.
368
00:23:08,921 --> 00:23:10,082
I will inform my father
369
00:23:10,189 --> 00:23:12,715
that you will join us just as
soon as you are able, Lord.
370
00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:14,358
Thank you, Lady.
371
00:23:16,028 --> 00:23:17,257
You are riding to battle?
372
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,063
Is that not forbidden?
373
00:23:19,164 --> 00:23:20,723
I wish to see the King.
374
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,232
He is a king, he
is not "the King."
375
00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:26,865
There are kings and
kingdoms all over.
376
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,336
Aldhelm, are we ready?
377
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,319
Lord, you are certain
you will not ride?
378
00:23:31,343 --> 00:23:32,343
Go!
379
00:23:33,045 --> 00:23:34,946
In god's name, go.
Leave me in peace.
380
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:37,115
Yes, Lord.
381
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:39,350
Good luck at the
northern border.
382
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:40,418
Return safely.
383
00:23:44,556 --> 00:23:46,252
You should be leading your men.
384
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:50,794
I do not wish to hear the whining
voice of the so-called Lady of Mercia.
385
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,861
Which is why I prefer you to
spend time at your own estate.
386
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:55,913
Then I shall leave
you in your peace.
387
00:23:57,703 --> 00:23:58,932
How is your daughter?
388
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:01,873
Our daughter is well,
389
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:04,536
though I pray she does not
inherit her father's temperament.
390
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,906
Nor the morals of her mother.
391
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:10,448
Whore!
392
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:14,051
You have diminished me.
393
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,310
[door closes]
394
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,650
We march into Wessex!
395
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:23,895
To the aid of Wessex!
396
00:24:24,163 --> 00:24:30,330
But be in no doubt, what we fight for
is the freedom and the glory of Mercia!
397
00:24:30,736 --> 00:24:36,232
And once again we will show the
King Alfred how a warrior should be!
398
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,470
[cheering]
399
00:24:38,577 --> 00:24:43,174
We will show the bastard
heathen how a warrior should be!
400
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:45,979
[cheering]
401
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:51,321
[indistinct chatter]
402
00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:57,427
She's in there, Lord, inside
the church. Am I still needed?
403
00:24:59,365 --> 00:25:00,526
Go find your family.
404
00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:21,719
[inhales]
405
00:25:24,823 --> 00:25:25,823
[sniffles]
406
00:25:35,401 --> 00:25:38,894
[guard chuckles] Who are
you? What do you want?
407
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:41,067
I would like you
all to surrender.
408
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,373
Or I will smite you.
409
00:25:44,910 --> 00:25:45,910
What did he say?
410
00:25:47,179 --> 00:25:49,410
"Smite"? What is "smite"?
411
00:25:49,515 --> 00:25:50,915
It's a word, isn't it?
412
00:25:52,017 --> 00:25:57,012
A word from the Holy
Book. It means slay or kill.
413
00:25:58,057 --> 00:25:59,150
I will kill you.
414
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:01,386
[laughing]
415
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:02,493
Smite.
416
00:26:03,429 --> 00:26:05,057
You will smite all of us?
417
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:07,998
Yeah, most. Some of you
might run away, hopefully.
418
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,094
I've got... I've got a sword.
419
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:13,895
A very sharp sword.
420
00:26:15,107 --> 00:26:16,837
Though I'd prefer it
if you surrendered.
421
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:18,107
Kill him!
422
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:19,210
Now!
423
00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,680
[grunting]
424
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,064
Haesten says
she is of the devil.
425
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:50,202
Then it might be an idea to bar
the door and burn the place down?
426
00:26:50,275 --> 00:26:51,275
Why not?
427
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:53,440
To Bloodhair she
will be priceless.
428
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:16,928
You are Skade?
429
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:21,339
You.
430
00:27:21,507 --> 00:27:23,339
You will do nothing
except go to your lord.
431
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,511
You will tell him that Uhtred
of Bebbanburg has his witch.
432
00:27:28,013 --> 00:27:29,072
I knew it was you.
433
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:32,483
There will be a ransom to pay.
434
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:36,851
No. You will go to my lord and you will
tell him that from this moment forth...
435
00:27:37,689 --> 00:27:39,681
Uhtred of Bebbanburg is cursed.
436
00:27:41,927 --> 00:27:45,921
The witch holds his heart
in her hands and she will...
437
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:47,956
squeeze it...
438
00:27:50,469 --> 00:27:51,664
and break it.
439
00:27:57,309 --> 00:27:58,309
Go.
440
00:28:01,813 --> 00:28:03,873
It is you who are my
prisoner now, Uhtred.
441
00:28:05,284 --> 00:28:06,284
Seize her.
442
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:10,447
I said seize her, Sihtric!
Now! Bind her hands!
443
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:12,684
I have aligned myself with
the three spinners of fate
444
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:14,191
and taken hold of your life.
445
00:28:14,893 --> 00:28:15,893
You belong to me now.
446
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:16,792
And her mouth.
447
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:19,627
Your path is the path I choose
for you, Uhtred Ragnarson.
448
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:21,667
And your spirit is
mine to torment.
449
00:28:29,741 --> 00:28:30,902
Cover her eyes.
450
00:28:35,681 --> 00:28:37,201
We will take her with
us to Aescengum.
451
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:13,385
I think she may have got
herself inside his head.
452
00:29:14,219 --> 00:29:16,211
He should kill her
and be done with it.
453
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,756
That will not kill the curse.
454
00:29:18,257 --> 00:29:19,725
There is no curse.
455
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,854
If I say there is no Christian
God, does that make it so?
456
00:29:23,228 --> 00:29:25,129
There is no curse, Sihtric.
457
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:29,201
I have seen women throw a curse
and the next day a man is dead.
458
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:30,702
Right, that is enough talking.
459
00:29:31,436 --> 00:29:33,530
To speak of it
makes it stronger.
460
00:29:54,226 --> 00:29:56,218
[Alfred] Uhtred, we have
been discussing strategy
461
00:29:56,295 --> 00:29:59,891
and have decided that we shall
remain here, within the Burh, and wait.
462
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:01,097
For what?
463
00:30:01,166 --> 00:30:02,464
For Bloodhair to attack.
464
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:04,229
What makes you
believe he will attack?
465
00:30:04,569 --> 00:30:07,733
Is that not what Danes do, Uhtred?
They cannot help themselves.
466
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,799
Why should he not
attack. I am here.
467
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:12,275
You are here and
so, too, is your guard.
468
00:30:12,678 --> 00:30:14,442
Why throw men against
the walls of a Burh
469
00:30:14,513 --> 00:30:16,505
when the riches of
Winchester are unprotected?
470
00:30:16,615 --> 00:30:17,480
Would he do that?
471
00:30:17,582 --> 00:30:19,949
He doesn't have an army
large enough to hold Winchester.
472
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:21,418
What if Haesten
were to join him?
473
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,898
You seem to be saying we should
have remained at home, Uhtred.
474
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:26,401
[Sigebriht] If you believe the advantage
of the Burh to be dismissed, Lord,
475
00:30:26,425 --> 00:30:27,916
you must clearly
have an alternative.
476
00:30:28,794 --> 00:30:29,693
I don't know you.
477
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,525
I am Sigebriht, son of Sigelf.
478
00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:35,094
It is my villages that the heathen
burn. My father built these walls.
479
00:30:35,367 --> 00:30:39,304
And he built them well Sigebriht,
which is why Bloodhair will not attack.
480
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:41,367
He will not want to lose men.
481
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:42,868
Not even to kill a king?
482
00:30:42,974 --> 00:30:47,378
He will wait, for us to starve, or
he will pass, Lord. He will not attack.
483
00:30:47,646 --> 00:30:49,308
But we must. That
is still my advice.
484
00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:51,316
If Winchester is
vulnerable, Lord...
485
00:30:51,383 --> 00:30:53,875
This woman that you have
taken, why is she here?
486
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,120
She has value.
487
00:30:57,789 --> 00:31:01,351
And Sigurd will want her back.
I refuse to call him Bloodhair.
488
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:03,220
- He will.
- [Aethelwold] She is what to him?
489
00:31:03,962 --> 00:31:04,962
A wife?
490
00:31:05,464 --> 00:31:06,295
A lover?
491
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:07,890
Erm, she is a...
492
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:09,667
a seer.
493
00:31:10,902 --> 00:31:11,902
Sorceress.
494
00:31:12,504 --> 00:31:13,504
Hmm.
495
00:31:15,474 --> 00:31:18,501
The simple mind of a Dane
believes in signs, Edward.
496
00:31:19,244 --> 00:31:21,304
If a bird would fly
from their camp to ours,
497
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:23,178
they would see it
as a sign and follow.
498
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:25,376
They would march into battle,
499
00:31:25,484 --> 00:31:28,181
all because a "seer"
caught sight of a bird.
500
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:30,187
Yes, Lord.
501
00:31:30,722 --> 00:31:32,247
It can happen that way.
502
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:35,020
Then it follows that without
his "seer", there can be no signs.
503
00:31:35,761 --> 00:31:37,525
Sigurd is blind.
There can be no battle.
504
00:31:37,596 --> 00:31:39,497
Lord, you are both
right and wrong.
505
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:41,226
We wait, Uhtred.
506
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:45,369
Now...
507
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,069
I wish to look at her.
508
00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:53,844
Skade.
509
00:31:56,715 --> 00:31:58,707
[indistinct chatter]
510
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:05,247
Father Beocca, you do
not need to trouble yourself.
511
00:32:05,357 --> 00:32:06,357
No, Lord?
512
00:32:08,593 --> 00:32:09,593
Unlock the door.
513
00:32:11,229 --> 00:32:12,229
What are they doing?
514
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:15,029
Alfred's said he'd
like to hump the witch.
515
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:16,891
No word of lie.
516
00:32:20,038 --> 00:32:21,529
[muttering]
517
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:41,423
Uhtred, you will leave us.
518
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:44,323
Is that wise, Lord?
519
00:32:44,930 --> 00:32:47,900
She is secured by chains
and I will not venture too close.
520
00:32:48,934 --> 00:32:49,958
You will leave.
521
00:33:00,111 --> 00:33:01,238
[sighs]
522
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:05,115
You have left him alone?
523
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:06,750
It's his wish.
524
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:11,419
Do you honestly believe that
Bloodhair will go directly to Winchester?
525
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:13,652
Our families are
there, unprotected.
526
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,860
Which is why we cannot sit and
wait for an attack that will not come.
527
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:20,496
Uhtred you must make
him see the danger
528
00:33:21,633 --> 00:33:22,633
for those we love.
529
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:24,368
[sighs]
530
00:33:26,371 --> 00:33:27,600
You reek of death, Lord.
531
00:33:29,641 --> 00:33:32,110
I do. Sadly, I do.
532
00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:33,444
Why sadly?
533
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:36,482
Your life has been rich,
you have reputation.
534
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,313
There is more to be done.
I must see that it is done.
535
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:44,616
Ask your question.
536
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:54,656
How long...
537
00:33:57,068 --> 00:33:59,299
before I am taken? Do you know?
538
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:03,170
Is that something
that you can see?
539
00:34:13,018 --> 00:34:14,748
You will not see another summer.
540
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:17,754
But your name will live on.
541
00:34:19,157 --> 00:34:20,318
You will be remembered
542
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:25,929
as the first, last and
only King of all Saxons.
543
00:34:33,772 --> 00:34:35,536
I do enjoy the summer time.
544
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:39,235
[sighs]
545
00:34:58,396 --> 00:34:59,625
Sigurd, my lord,
546
00:35:00,298 --> 00:35:03,530
Bloodhair, my lover, hear
me, free me, avenge me.
547
00:35:03,802 --> 00:35:06,397
Come for me, die for
me, want me, desire me.
548
00:35:06,738 --> 00:35:09,469
Sigurd, free me!
549
00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:15,278
Bloodhair, come to me!
550
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,749
Die for me, avenge me! Free me!
551
00:35:20,652 --> 00:35:22,644
There is a king in this camp!
552
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:25,888
Come to me, desire me!
553
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:28,552
If she insists upon calling,
Lord, we should make use of her.
554
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:29,788
[Skade] Free me!
555
00:35:34,099 --> 00:35:36,068
Bloodhair!
556
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:40,503
Come for me! Avenge
me, free me! I demand it!
557
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,434
When can we bind her mouth shut?
558
00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:44,771
[Skade] Die for me! Desire me!
559
00:35:44,843 --> 00:35:45,742
Let her sing.
560
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,473
There is a king in this camp!
561
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:49,843
That is not singing.
562
00:35:50,448 --> 00:35:51,916
[Skade] Bloodhair!
563
00:35:52,183 --> 00:35:53,014
Lord Uhtred...
564
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:54,643
[Skade] Come to me!
565
00:35:54,753 --> 00:35:57,018
Are you going to allow that
woman to wail all night long?
566
00:35:57,922 --> 00:35:59,652
For a little while
longer, yes, Sigebriht.
567
00:35:59,758 --> 00:36:01,317
[Skade] Bloodhair!
568
00:36:01,426 --> 00:36:04,362
There is a king for you to kill!
569
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:06,030
[man 1] Shut her up.
570
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:08,932
[man 2] Quiet, woman.
571
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:12,096
[Skade shouting]
572
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:17,935
[sighs] Here is a bit
of loose talk for you.
573
00:36:19,377 --> 00:36:20,504
Sigebriht there,
574
00:36:21,446 --> 00:36:22,675
son of whoever,
575
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:25,950
would like to rip the innards
from young Edward's belly.
576
00:36:26,284 --> 00:36:27,364
Would you like to know why?
577
00:36:28,553 --> 00:36:29,553
Um...
578
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:32,687
- No.
- I'll tell you.
579
00:36:33,825 --> 00:36:36,989
Edward, the
non-bastard son of Alfred,
580
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:41,332
has whelped twins on the
girl whom Sigebriht did love.
581
00:36:41,399 --> 00:36:43,231
And does Sigebriht
still love this girl?
582
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:45,326
[Skade continues shouting]
583
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:50,406
Can someone not
just cut her throat?
584
00:36:51,009 --> 00:36:52,238
Why are you telling me this?
585
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:54,372
It is of no concern to me.
586
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:58,541
They will make it
your concern, Uhtred.
587
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:02,977
They will find a way and
Edward shall become your charge.
588
00:37:04,823 --> 00:37:06,223
You are a king-maker, my friend
589
00:37:07,525 --> 00:37:08,925
and Alfred knows it.
590
00:37:28,012 --> 00:37:29,378
[Skade whispering]
I am undecided.
591
00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:33,746
I could take the place of your
woman, Uhtred Ragnarson.
592
00:37:34,385 --> 00:37:37,549
Together we could
rule from north to south.
593
00:37:38,757 --> 00:37:39,757
Hear it.
594
00:37:41,626 --> 00:37:42,626
Hear it.
595
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:51,558
You men there, take her
down and return her to the cell.
596
00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:53,203
Let her rest.
597
00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:59,270
[Skade] Good night, Lord.
598
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:07,885
[sighs]
599
00:39:10,882 --> 00:39:12,180
Why have you not killed me?
600
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,281
What is it you want?
601
00:39:16,454 --> 00:39:18,150
I am worth more
than just silver.
602
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:22,385
Put the food into
your mouth and chew.
603
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,553
If it is me that you want,
604
00:39:27,398 --> 00:39:28,398
then have me.
605
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:48,314
I will not object.
606
00:39:53,992 --> 00:39:55,255
I have no need of a whore.
607
00:39:55,660 --> 00:39:57,185
You will soon have
need of a woman.
608
00:40:00,932 --> 00:40:04,027
You have not killed me, Lord,
because that will leave you cursed still.
609
00:40:04,669 --> 00:40:06,661
Until the end and beyond.
610
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:10,041
Our paths are entwined
611
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:12,775
and our fate is shared.
612
00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:15,176
[bell ringing]
613
00:40:16,447 --> 00:40:17,447
He is here.
614
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:32,696
Lord! It is Bloodhair!
He has hostages!
615
00:40:32,764 --> 00:40:34,426
Every man to the walls!
616
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:37,065
Every sword and
spear must be ready!
617
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:42,099
[women crying]
618
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,312
Osferth, prepare to open
the gates, Finan with me.
619
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:56,530
- Uhtred, what is it?
- Who is it?
620
00:40:56,554 --> 00:40:57,954
Bloodhair, Lord, with hostages.
621
00:40:58,056 --> 00:40:59,490
He wishes to negotiate?
622
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:00,614
Possibly.
623
00:41:02,593 --> 00:41:04,289
[women crying]
624
00:41:04,395 --> 00:41:05,419
[grunting]
625
00:41:10,635 --> 00:41:11,967
[Bloodhair] Uhtred Ragnarson!
626
00:41:12,270 --> 00:41:13,602
What depravity is this?
627
00:41:14,339 --> 00:41:15,773
Alfred of Wessex!
628
00:41:16,441 --> 00:41:19,843
You have my woman. Return
her now, or your people will die!
629
00:41:21,646 --> 00:41:24,013
Lord, I know each
of those wretches.
630
00:41:24,115 --> 00:41:25,811
Does he wish to
negotiate or not?
631
00:41:26,084 --> 00:41:29,350
If it is your woman that you
want, then let us negotiate!
632
00:41:29,454 --> 00:41:31,787
We do not wish to see the
death of another innocent!
633
00:41:31,856 --> 00:41:33,119
I have said all I will say!
634
00:41:33,191 --> 00:41:36,093
Lord, I beg you, not the
young, please. Not the young!
635
00:41:36,928 --> 00:41:38,191
[woman screaming]
636
00:41:38,296 --> 00:41:39,491
Not the young, please.
637
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:43,191
Spare the young, Lord. They
can serve you. Please, Lord...
638
00:41:45,536 --> 00:41:47,801
Osferth, the gates.
Steapa, be ready.
639
00:41:47,872 --> 00:41:49,340
They are killing women, Lord!
640
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,375
- That gates!
- [man] Open the gates!
641
00:41:54,212 --> 00:41:55,212
[Uhtred] Earl Sigurd!
642
00:41:56,114 --> 00:42:00,108
Kill one more hostage and I shall
let every man here see her nakedness
643
00:42:00,551 --> 00:42:02,850
and then I shall spill
her guts. Just one more!
644
00:42:03,187 --> 00:42:04,951
Do it, Lord, I'll see
you in the next life.
645
00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:07,652
Kill them all! Attack!
646
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:09,455
[groans]
647
00:42:10,628 --> 00:42:11,857
Bloodhair, kill them now!
648
00:42:11,963 --> 00:42:13,056
She is an angry woman.
649
00:42:13,164 --> 00:42:15,084
[Skade] Attack now!
[Uhtred] What is your answer?
650
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,299
I have a mind to kill her
regardless. She tires me.
651
00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:20,167
He cannot do it,
Lord! He is cursed!
652
00:42:21,305 --> 00:42:22,398
Kill them all!
653
00:42:22,974 --> 00:42:24,094
You will not harm her again!
654
00:42:26,244 --> 00:42:28,372
[Skade groaning]
655
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:35,584
The price has risen.
656
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:37,750
You will not only
spare the hostages,
657
00:42:37,855 --> 00:42:40,000
you will free them all and
send them across to the Burh.
658
00:42:40,024 --> 00:42:41,993
What I'll do is feed
you your own cock.
659
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,760
Release her.
660
00:42:44,195 --> 00:42:46,391
You have until sunset
to free the hostages.
661
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:49,227
Or each man in this
fortress will take his turn.
662
00:42:51,069 --> 00:42:52,503
Until sunset!
663
00:42:54,005 --> 00:42:56,099
I believe negotiations
are over, Lord.
664
00:42:57,408 --> 00:43:00,708
You will not see Valhalla,
Uhtred Ragnarson! I swear it!
665
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:01,677
Bloodhair!
666
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:03,578
Uhtred Ragnarson!
667
00:43:04,215 --> 00:43:06,116
- [Skade] Kill them all!
- Uhtred Ragnarson!
668
00:43:06,451 --> 00:43:09,751
Do not harm one hair
from her head. She is mine!
669
00:43:10,955 --> 00:43:12,548
Lord, we need to
change our plan.
670
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:15,526
We cannot wait for him to
attack because he will not.
671
00:43:16,894 --> 00:43:19,022
Her value is even
greater than I first thought.
672
00:43:19,464 --> 00:43:21,365
He will wait for
as long as it takes.
673
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:23,367
Aethelred and the
Mercians, they will be close.
674
00:43:23,701 --> 00:43:24,725
And they will be seen.
675
00:43:26,037 --> 00:43:27,699
What we must do is
stop them on the road.
676
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:29,365
I can send Finan
to do just that.
677
00:43:30,074 --> 00:43:31,154
And then we must join them.
678
00:43:31,909 --> 00:43:33,878
We must choose the
place of battle, Lord,
679
00:43:33,945 --> 00:43:36,312
but we must act quickly,
while his blood burns.
680
00:43:36,414 --> 00:43:37,882
Join Aethelred where?
681
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:41,613
I am thinking
Fearnham. There's a hill.
682
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,397
I know it, Lord, it would
give us an advantage.
683
00:43:43,421 --> 00:43:45,061
But how do we join
Aethelred at this hill
684
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:47,752
and how do we ensure Earl
Sigurd will follow, if that is the plan?
685
00:43:47,825 --> 00:43:50,727
Finan will find the Mercians and
we will ensure Bloodhair follows.
686
00:43:51,062 --> 00:43:52,553
You and I, Lord,
we will draw him.
687
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:54,326
And if Aethelred
cannot be found?
688
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:56,093
[sighs]
689
00:43:56,167 --> 00:43:57,396
[Uhtred] Then we fight alone.
690
00:43:58,402 --> 00:44:00,667
But we must act
quickly. It must be today.
691
00:44:02,974 --> 00:44:04,101
I'm ready, Lords.
692
00:44:04,742 --> 00:44:06,802
It won't take me long
to find the Mercians.
693
00:44:10,414 --> 00:44:12,144
To Fearnham. Go.
694
00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:14,942
[wind howling]
695
00:44:16,787 --> 00:44:18,016
[man] Open the gates!
696
00:44:19,023 --> 00:44:20,023
Psst.
697
00:44:22,927 --> 00:44:23,927
The gates.
698
00:44:24,629 --> 00:44:26,291
We go and we do not stop!
699
00:44:27,031 --> 00:44:28,590
They cannot overtake us!
700
00:44:28,933 --> 00:44:30,959
They must not overtake us!
701
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:36,265
For the freedom of Wessex!
702
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:38,605
[cheering]
703
00:44:44,782 --> 00:44:45,782
They are escaping.
704
00:44:46,551 --> 00:44:48,349
Lord! Lord, they are running!
705
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:52,019
Lord, the Saxon army
is fleeing the fortress.
706
00:44:52,323 --> 00:44:53,154
Who did you see?
707
00:44:53,224 --> 00:44:55,284
I saw them all, Lord.
I saw the Lady Skade.
708
00:44:55,526 --> 00:44:58,121
I saw Uhtred Ragnarson.
The whole army.
709
00:44:58,196 --> 00:45:00,028
Every man and
every sword with me.
710
00:45:00,131 --> 00:45:01,131
It's time!
711
00:45:01,666 --> 00:45:02,666
Horses!
712
00:45:04,802 --> 00:45:06,498
[man] Close the gates!
713
00:45:07,171 --> 00:45:09,231
[yelling]
714
00:45:09,340 --> 00:45:11,400
[soldiers yelling]
715
00:45:20,585 --> 00:45:21,883
[yelling]
716
00:45:23,154 --> 00:45:25,521
[Sigebriht] Lord!
They're giving chase.
717
00:45:26,891 --> 00:45:27,891
They're giving chase.
718
00:45:28,259 --> 00:45:29,259
We wait.
719
00:45:30,027 --> 00:45:32,258
Long enough for them not to
see they are being followed.
720
00:45:33,364 --> 00:45:34,364
And we pray.
721
00:45:46,244 --> 00:45:48,179
[man] Lord, the cart is stuck.
722
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:50,238
Release the horse
from its harness and ride.
723
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:52,047
Sihtric, your axe.
724
00:46:04,061 --> 00:46:05,061
[grunts]
725
00:46:05,930 --> 00:46:08,764
They've been after silver,
so let's give them some.
726
00:46:12,136 --> 00:46:13,695
Keep going! Ride!
727
00:46:14,805 --> 00:46:16,637
[Steapa] We must not be seen!
728
00:46:16,741 --> 00:46:17,936
We track them,
729
00:46:18,909 --> 00:46:20,605
and then we kill the bastards!
730
00:46:20,711 --> 00:46:22,703
[cheering]
731
00:46:37,762 --> 00:46:39,390
[Bloodhair] Be
prepared for a trap.
732
00:46:52,076 --> 00:46:53,442
[Osferth] Is this
the place, Lord?
733
00:46:54,078 --> 00:46:55,078
Is this Fearnham?
734
00:46:55,613 --> 00:46:56,613
It is.
735
00:46:59,850 --> 00:47:01,751
Perhaps Finan did
not make the journey.
736
00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:05,987
Do we wait for the
Danes to catch us?
737
00:47:09,327 --> 00:47:10,327
It's silver, Lord.
738
00:47:10,695 --> 00:47:12,926
They must have been too
afraid to stop and fix the cart.
739
00:47:13,364 --> 00:47:15,765
Wrap it in cloth. Keep
it safe. Let's move on.
740
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:18,366
I want every Saxon
dead by nightfall.
741
00:47:19,103 --> 00:47:20,196
Move on!
742
00:47:28,546 --> 00:47:29,844
Your man is here.
743
00:47:30,214 --> 00:47:31,214
I know it.
744
00:47:32,550 --> 00:47:33,550
[horse neighing]
745
00:47:40,191 --> 00:47:41,215
It is Finan.
746
00:47:45,796 --> 00:47:46,820
And the Mercians.
747
00:47:50,568 --> 00:47:52,298
We are an army!
748
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:55,067
Glory shall be ours!
749
00:47:55,172 --> 00:47:57,334
[cheering]
750
00:47:57,975 --> 00:47:59,967
[cheering]
751
00:48:10,755 --> 00:48:11,755
[groaning]
752
00:48:15,059 --> 00:48:16,925
Shield wall!
753
00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:30,433
Ready!
754
00:48:35,379 --> 00:48:38,543
They have the hill, we have
the numbers and will of the gods.
755
00:48:38,883 --> 00:48:40,613
Odin's warriors!
756
00:48:40,718 --> 00:48:41,845
[cheering]
757
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:44,787
[Uhtred] We stand our
ground! They will come onto us!
758
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:48,082
And we will take their
heads from their shoulders.
759
00:48:54,231 --> 00:48:56,393
No Saxon leaves
this field alive!
760
00:48:57,034 --> 00:48:59,765
[yelling]
761
00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:06,372
Hold firm!
762
00:49:06,444 --> 00:49:07,912
[yelling]
763
00:49:11,882 --> 00:49:14,875
We do not break!
We stand our ground!
764
00:49:17,822 --> 00:49:19,381
For Mercia!
765
00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:23,284
[yelling]
766
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:30,768
[grunting]
767
00:49:32,770 --> 00:49:35,262
Fight for your women
and your children!
768
00:49:37,441 --> 00:49:38,441
[groaning]
769
00:49:38,509 --> 00:49:40,910
[grunting]
770
00:49:46,917 --> 00:49:47,976
Hold the line!
771
00:49:52,423 --> 00:49:54,654
- Get me up, man!
- Close the gap!
772
00:50:00,164 --> 00:50:01,164
Hold!
773
00:50:05,169 --> 00:50:06,694
[panting]
774
00:50:07,338 --> 00:50:08,863
[horn sounds]
775
00:50:08,973 --> 00:50:10,100
Who sounds the horn?
776
00:50:11,108 --> 00:50:12,440
Who sounds the horn?
777
00:50:12,510 --> 00:50:15,674
[horn continues]
778
00:50:20,518 --> 00:50:24,216
It is Alfred. It is Alfred
and the men of Wessex!
779
00:50:27,324 --> 00:50:28,324
Steapa.
780
00:50:28,692 --> 00:50:31,491
Shield walls!
781
00:50:33,297 --> 00:50:34,560
Form a line!
782
00:50:37,635 --> 00:50:39,365
Advance!
783
00:50:41,205 --> 00:50:43,504
[yelling]
784
00:50:45,342 --> 00:50:46,469
Advance!
785
00:50:58,656 --> 00:50:59,851
[man] We are trapped, Lord!
786
00:50:59,924 --> 00:51:02,086
[grunting]
787
00:51:04,061 --> 00:51:05,256
Lord, do we fight?
788
00:51:14,939 --> 00:51:16,669
Bloodhair, you do not yield.
789
00:51:17,408 --> 00:51:18,774
Do not yield.
790
00:51:21,912 --> 00:51:23,608
[Uhtred] Give them no ground!
791
00:51:24,949 --> 00:51:26,941
Give them nothing
but your sword!
792
00:51:30,888 --> 00:51:32,948
[Aldhelm] They
are running scared!
793
00:51:33,057 --> 00:51:35,526
[grunting]
794
00:51:37,528 --> 00:51:39,588
They are beaten!
795
00:51:39,964 --> 00:51:41,432
[groaning]
796
00:51:45,569 --> 00:51:47,902

[cheering and applause]
798
00:52:26,577 --> 00:52:27,577
Uhtred...
799
00:52:28,746 --> 00:52:29,746
she is gone.
800
00:52:37,521 --> 00:52:38,989
She has given you a son.
801
00:52:39,490 --> 00:52:40,822
[baby cooing]
802
00:52:40,924 --> 00:52:42,085
But she's gone.
803
00:52:45,929 --> 00:52:46,929
[sniffles]
804
00:52:58,876 --> 00:52:59,707
I must go to her.
805
00:52:59,810 --> 00:53:01,438
- Uhtred, no.
- No, I must go to her!
806
00:53:01,512 --> 00:53:02,639
Uhtred she has gone!
807
00:53:04,148 --> 00:53:05,275
She's in the ground.
808
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:07,040
It was days ago.
809
00:53:09,186 --> 00:53:10,186
She is gone.
810
00:53:48,058 --> 00:53:50,050
