1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,197
[Uhtred] I am
Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:04,271 --> 00:00:06,331
King Alfred grows
weaker each day
3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:10,269
leaving Wessex
vulnerable to enemies within.
4
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:11,607
Aethelwold is there?
5
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:15,979
They will march, from north
to south, as a single army.
6
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:18,382
[Uhtred] I too am
now seen as a threat.
7
00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:21,819
But I have promised to protect
Alfred's daughter, Aethelflaed.
8
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:26,293
Your husband intends to kill you. I shall
leave now and you must do the same.
9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,626
[Uhtred] Indeed, both Aethelred
and Haesten wish her dead.
10
00:00:30,464 --> 00:00:33,229
Saving her life has
come at a high cost to me.
11
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,893
[Uhtred] Skade in
place of Aethelflaed.
12
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:39,234
And you are cursed once
more, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
13
00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:42,173
I have been thinking about Ragnar
and the likelihood of him killing me.
14
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,335
I should kill him first.
15
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,244
[Uhtred] My brother has
disowned me as a traitor.
16
00:00:47,147 --> 00:00:48,308
And it is true.
17
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:50,715
You are no longer my brother!
18
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:54,886
[Uhtred] I betrayed him by leaving him
in the company of men without honour.
19
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:00,225
- [panting]
- Destiny is all!

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,380
[Jackdaw] He is
dead! He is dead!
22
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:29,353
Alfred's dead! He is
dead! Alfred's dead!
23
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:35,021
The Saxon cur is no more!
He is dead! Alfred is dead!
24
00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:37,724
Jackdaw, is this true?
How did you hear this?
25
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:40,131
It's all over the country,
they say, he is dead!
26
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:42,698
Alfred has shat his precious
soul out of his arsehole!
27
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,397
[laughs]
28
00:01:44,471 --> 00:01:48,272
Ragnar! Alfred is dead!
The Saxon shit is gone!
29
00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:50,309
Ragnar!
30
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:55,881
Ragnar?
31
00:01:58,418 --> 00:01:59,418
Ragnar...
32
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,432
Ragnar... Ragnar...
33
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:22,136
[sobbing]
34
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:26,612
[kiss]
35
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:37,849
Take it. Close your hand. Ragnar.
Ragnar, close your hand and take this.
36
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,150
[sobs] Ragnar, take this.
37
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:48,293
Ragnar, take it! No!
No! No, Ragnar! No!
38
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:54,300
[screaming] No! No! No! No!
39
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:57,204
So he is dead.
This is good news.
40
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:59,939
[Brida screaming] No! No!
41
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:05,314
Ragnar! Ragnar! Ragnar, no!
42
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:08,682
[Cnut] Move! Move!
43
00:03:08,789 --> 00:03:10,724
[Brida screaming and wailing]
44
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:13,885
Ragnar, no! No!
45
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,731
Who? Who did this?
46
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:27,640
His whore?
47
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:30,669
I will ask.
48
00:03:33,847 --> 00:03:34,847
[grunts]
49
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:45,815
Ragnar Ragnarson, the only
man amongst you is dead!
50
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:46,985
Who did this?
51
00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:54,597
Cowards! All of you! You had
to kill him while he was sleeping!
52
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:59,097
Brida, it was his woman,
the knife was in her hand.
53
00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:01,708
It is Ragnar's
sword in her belly.
54
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:03,615
Why would he kill a
woman he was trying to pup?
55
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:05,879
Why would she kill him? How?
56
00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:07,346
Maybe it was you who killed him.
57
00:04:08,515 --> 00:04:12,611
Her husband was ploughing another
field, so the crazy bitch killed them both.
58
00:04:13,019 --> 00:04:14,248
[screams]
59
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,019
No. Bloodhair, no!
60
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,292
This is not the answer!
61
00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:30,366
He was your leader! He was
to give you wealth! Protection!
62
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:33,096
We go on! Nothing has changed.
63
00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:34,265
Everything has changed!
64
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:35,708
We go on!
65
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:41,039
You have no leader.
66
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:42,944
Then I shall lead!
67
00:04:43,984 --> 00:04:44,984
With Bloodhair.
68
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:50,590
We will bury Ragnar
and we will march.
69
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:55,087
Then get it done
and keep her quiet.
70
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:00,990
Release her.
71
00:05:13,113 --> 00:05:17,278
Though I did not know him well.
He was a good man, a brave warrior.
72
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:14,238
[softly] Are you
going to behave?
73
00:06:23,884 --> 00:06:26,251
You speak to him
as if he understands?
74
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:33,518
He will not understand the words,
but he will know I am a friend,
75
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:35,386
someone he can trust.
76
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:42,560
So, when the time comes to push
him into battle, he will not hesitate.
77
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:44,303
Is that the way
you treat your men?
78
00:06:45,105 --> 00:06:47,540
You win their trust and
expect them to follow?
79
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:51,435
It is not a game nor a strategy.
80
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:54,346
It is who you are.
81
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:58,276
A man who instils trust.
82
00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:08,418
I would like you to kiss me.
83
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:15,034
And then?
84
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:18,731
Begin with a kiss
and see where it leads.
85
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:27,024
- If you would rather not...
- It is something I would enjoy...
86
00:07:29,482 --> 00:07:30,482
and then regret.
87
00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:37,480
Lady, in Erik, you chose
someone you could not be with.
88
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:38,590
And I am the same.
89
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:41,386
I would not see you hurt again.
90
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:43,128
Who would have to know?
91
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,738
- Who would need to know...?
- Skade.
92
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:47,790
Skade would know.
93
00:07:49,836 --> 00:07:51,828
She would see everything
I care for destroyed.
94
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:57,974
She must be found, recovered.
95
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,444
I would say it is impossible
for you to recover her.
96
00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:03,114
- I must.
- How?
97
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:05,743
How? You cannot
attack Beamfleot.
98
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:09,012
To fight Haesten's army,
you will need an army.
99
00:08:10,623 --> 00:08:13,183
My father is to join the
Mercians at Aegelesburg.
100
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:18,526
I will meet him with our
guards and Aethelred.
101
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:23,000
You will be safer there than
here. It is a good decision.
102
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:25,868
I will tell the King of
Haesten's attempt to kill me.
103
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:29,204
By attacking me, he has made
himself an enemy of Wessex.
104
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:31,110
Come with me.
105
00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:34,179
My father will forgive you.
106
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,272
And you will lead his
men against Beamfleot.
107
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:37,681
I do not want his forgiveness.
108
00:08:37,784 --> 00:08:41,312
Then use his army! Use his men!
109
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:46,049
And recover Skade. I offer
you a way to end this curse.
110
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:08,206
Lord? We are ready
for another chapter.
111
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,985
The country is rife with
word of my death I am told?
112
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:14,418
So what a fright you
shall be to the Danes.
113
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:16,857
Marching beyond
Wessex and into Mercia,
114
00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:20,087
to stand by the side of Aethelred
and look them in the eye.
115
00:09:20,193 --> 00:09:21,661
To look them in the eye.
116
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,397
Yes.
117
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:55,120
- Steapa, when you are ready.
- Yes, Lord.
118
00:09:58,364 --> 00:09:59,923
[gasping]
119
00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:27,785
We march, men of Wessex!
120
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,462
We march!
121
00:10:31,064 --> 00:10:33,761
[soldiers cheering]
122
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:12,604
Leave us.
123
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,380
Some of his men
believe this to be a sign.
124
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:28,686
For Ragnar to die without his
sword means the battle can't be won.
125
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:29,812
They are your men now.
126
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:33,955
You must convince
them otherwise.
127
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:38,156
I won't prevent any
man from returning north.
128
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,198
They have no leader.
129
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:41,963
We can lead, you and I.
130
00:11:43,136 --> 00:11:46,382
This morning, you claimed that you would
lead with Bloodhair and now you choose me?
131
00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:48,238
I do not wish to bed Bloodhair.
132
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:53,536
Already we're divided.
133
00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:56,749
Without Ragnar, we shall
become separate tribes.
134
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:00,219
I will let you grieve.
135
00:12:05,525 --> 00:12:08,552
You will find us at the
river Ouse, one army.
136
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:12,024
It was either you or
Bloodhair who killed Ragnar.
137
00:12:16,035 --> 00:12:19,028
Brida, you cannot accept that his
last night was spent with a whore
138
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:20,105
and that she killed him.
139
00:12:21,174 --> 00:12:23,094
Who knows what goes on
between a man and a woman?
140
00:12:26,713 --> 00:12:29,114
Ragnar did not appreciate
nor deserve your love.
141
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:29,565
[Cnut] We have lost a
great warrior, a great man.
142
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:36,908
I know this better than most.
Ragnar Ragnarson was my cousin.
143
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:41,845
And I am angry with him,
because he deserved a better death!
144
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,486
Killed half naked, killed without
his breeches and his sword!
145
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:50,122
Far from the battlefield!
It is a death I fear most.
146
00:13:50,196 --> 00:13:51,459
[men agreeing]
147
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:55,764
It is a death our great
warrior, Bloodhair, fears most.
148
00:13:56,669 --> 00:14:01,664
But we men standing here are
fortunate men, the gods are with us.
149
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:02,774
[men] Yes!
150
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:06,211
We have swords in hand
and the battle ahead of us!
151
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:11,681
Land to be won, silver to
be shared and Saxons to kill!
152
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:13,878
[cheering]
153
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:17,990
We are Danes, together!
154
00:14:19,492 --> 00:14:22,724
- Together!
- Together!
155
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,634
[Cnut] Together!
156
00:14:56,696 --> 00:14:59,097
[grunting]
157
00:15:03,002 --> 00:15:04,002
Osferth...
158
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:10,907
Fetch Uhtred, tell him we
have a guest. A woman.
159
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:12,573
How can you tell it's a woman?
160
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:14,679
You have to ask?
161
00:15:18,351 --> 00:15:19,444
Fetch Uhtred.
162
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:33,927
[Brida] I knew you'd
be with your princess.
163
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:37,563
Something has happened?
164
00:15:39,205 --> 00:15:40,205
You left him.
165
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:43,241
Ragnar?
166
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:46,308
He had waited years
for you to come home,
167
00:15:46,412 --> 00:15:48,092
and within a matter of
days, you were gone.
168
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:52,912
You should have left
the Saxon bitch to die.
169
00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:54,785
Where is he? I will go to him.
170
00:15:55,054 --> 00:15:57,489
He's dead! Ragnar is dead!
171
00:16:06,232 --> 00:16:07,928
He doesn't feast in Valhalla.
172
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:12,068
Instead, he lies under a pile
of stones at a lake near Loidis!
173
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:17,937
There was no
honour in his death.
174
00:16:19,612 --> 00:16:20,612
None.
175
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:24,812
He will spend eternity
in the cold of Niflheim,
176
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:28,479
because of you,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
177
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:31,256
You chose her.
178
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:36,295
You chose Alfred,
and you left him.
179
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:37,829
No, Sihtric.
180
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:40,332
I should kill you,
181
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:43,761
but I want you to live
with the pain of his death.
182
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:46,999
He was your brother.
183
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:09,828
Uhtred, I...
184
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,295
My brother is dead.
185
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:14,866
Oh, God.
186
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:21,840
It is her, Skade, and her
curse. It goes on and on.
187
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:27,143
Could it not be just life?
Death comes to us all.
188
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:34,476
It is her. She must be recovered.
We go to Alfred and to Aethelred.
189
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:35,820
We do?
190
00:17:36,322 --> 00:17:39,258
And we beg for an army.
191
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:12,519
Once the last of Bloodhair's
men have sailed up the Ouse,
192
00:18:13,859 --> 00:18:18,194
we will march on
Mercia and then Wessex.
193
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:35,314
He will have me send
you to him, Bloodhair.
194
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:39,279
It is I who chooses
who I sit with.
195
00:18:41,153 --> 00:18:42,153
Lie with.
196
00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:45,056
Kill.
197
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:51,162
You have only ever taken women.
They do not give themselves to you.
198
00:18:52,231 --> 00:18:56,464
Whether it is given or
taken, I get what I want.
199
00:18:58,938 --> 00:19:02,966
You may take my body, but
you will not have my power.
200
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:09,504
[chuckles] I have one thousand
men. That is power enough.
201
00:19:10,116 --> 00:19:13,177
The man I choose, he will
benefit greatly from Alfred's death.
202
00:19:18,591 --> 00:19:21,186
But I will have to give
myself to that man...
203
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,196
and only when it is earned.
204
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:33,029
Maybe I should just hump
you now and be done with it.
205
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:35,705
Prove yourself, Lord.
206
00:19:36,275 --> 00:19:41,304
[scoffs] Prove
myself to a woman?
207
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:47,015
And I will allow you inside
me and my power inside you.
208
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,786
Uhtred will come for me,
209
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,654
and if you are to take his
place, then you must first kill him.
210
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:56,655
And then I am yours.
211
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:58,889
[grunts]
212
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:10,370
[horn blowing]
213
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,550
Riders.
214
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:23,321
Spears to the walls!
215
00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:25,824
- [soldier] Spears to the walls!
- [men shouting]
216
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:29,424
[Steapa] No man
is to pass. No man.
217
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,417
I ought to kill you
where you stand, Lord.
218
00:20:58,124 --> 00:20:59,251
You could try, my friend.
219
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:02,053
I am here to see the King.
220
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:05,021
You ride with outlaws, my dear.
221
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:07,430
He is an outlaw of
Wessex not Mercia.
222
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:10,635
We are here to see my father.
223
00:21:11,637 --> 00:21:13,317
What is it that you
have to say to the King
224
00:21:13,405 --> 00:21:14,896
that you cannot say
to your husband?
225
00:21:15,741 --> 00:21:19,439
I wish to speak of
treachery and traitors.
226
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:25,312
The Dane, Haesten, did attack
the nunnery at Wincelcumb.
227
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:27,650
It was his purpose to kill me.
228
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:31,782
Haesten claims to be a
friend to Alfred. He is not.
229
00:21:35,227 --> 00:21:36,388
Let the outlaw pass.
230
00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:39,059
No weapons.
231
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:43,101
None at all.
232
00:21:44,937 --> 00:21:48,772
Lord Aethelred, like you,
we stand against the Danes.
233
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:56,813
No weapons is the
command, Irishman, none at all.
234
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:07,184
It is good to see
you safe, Lady.
235
00:22:08,427 --> 00:22:09,427
Lord Aldhelm.
236
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:11,602
I shall advise the
King you're here.
237
00:22:20,139 --> 00:22:23,166
My father cannot suspect
my husband is the traitor.
238
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,155
We should kill your
husband and be done with it.
239
00:22:25,544 --> 00:22:28,104
And begin a war between
Wessex and Mercia now?
240
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:31,116
Lady, I'm joking.
We'll kill him tomorrow.
241
00:22:31,517 --> 00:22:33,179
We halt! Stop!
242
00:22:33,285 --> 00:22:35,117
We know what "halt"
means, big man.
243
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,952
Steapa, we are both
thirsty and hungry.
244
00:22:38,224 --> 00:22:41,217
You may enter the hall,
Lady, the outlaws do not.
245
00:22:41,994 --> 00:22:44,054
Then I choose to remain
here with the outlaws.
246
00:22:46,565 --> 00:22:47,565
As you wish.
247
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:49,562
Erm, what if I need to piss?
248
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:00,335
Then take out your cock.
249
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:03,007
And if you mistake it
for a weapon, what then?
250
00:23:04,316 --> 00:23:07,218
Steapa, food and ale
would be appreciated.
251
00:23:09,922 --> 00:23:11,015
I will arrange it.
252
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:16,587
And Steapa, good food!
Meat! And lots of ale.
253
00:23:20,733 --> 00:23:23,733
[speaking softly] If Uhtred is no
longer with the Danes, that is one matter.
254
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:27,763
But should he realign himself with
Alfred or Edward, that is another.
255
00:23:28,607 --> 00:23:31,727
[speaking softly] What has occurred to
bring Uhtred from one side to the other?
256
00:23:32,344 --> 00:23:33,437
He is Uhtred.
257
00:23:34,546 --> 00:23:38,074
Who called him from
north to south? My wife?
258
00:23:38,684 --> 00:23:39,684
How, Lord?
259
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:45,220
Why? Why did she call him to
her aid? What does she know?
260
00:23:46,392 --> 00:23:50,557
Is it important, when Danes are marching
and we are unsure on which side we stand?
261
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:54,864
Yes, it is important! Very!
262
00:23:57,202 --> 00:23:59,068
She knew of the
danger posed by me.
263
00:23:59,972 --> 00:24:04,103
She fled and summoned Uhtred
264
00:24:05,411 --> 00:24:06,936
with the promise
of her bed, no doubt.
265
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,280
She knew.
266
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,078
Then Lord, may I suggest
267
00:24:13,152 --> 00:24:15,917
we first establish what business
Uhtred has with her father?
268
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:17,348
I want all of my
men at the ready.
269
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,290
For what?
270
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:25,226
If she is here to accuse me, to
discredit me, we must be ready.
271
00:24:27,733 --> 00:24:28,733
Yes, Lord.
272
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:33,398
- Steapa.
- Lord Sigebriht.
273
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:37,933
An approximation to a Witan has
gathered. The outlaws are required.
274
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,072
What is an
approximation to a Witan?
275
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,173
It's almost a
Witan but not quite.
276
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,316
We must be without the King.
277
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,493
Apologies for keeping you
waiting in the cold, my dear.
278
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:05,838
Your father is to blame.
279
00:25:06,472 --> 00:25:10,000
After deliberation, he
has decided not to attend.
280
00:25:10,109 --> 00:25:14,308
I am here in place of the King.
I am here to speak for the King.
281
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:16,212
Our business is with Alfred.
282
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:17,840
Edward is Alfred.
283
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:19,276
On this occasion.
284
00:25:20,719 --> 00:25:25,783
We are all curious of what you
have to say, my dear. Speak.
285
00:25:26,392 --> 00:25:27,519
Danes are near.
286
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:33,625
Yes. Which is why we are gathered.
This is not some hunting party.
287
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,498
Haesten is with them. His
army is allied with them.
288
00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:40,499
But it was Haesten who first advised the
King that the Danes were marching south?
289
00:25:40,739 --> 00:25:42,037
He would do that, Lord.
290
00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:44,076
Haesten also advised the King
291
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:47,408
this Dane army included
yourself, Uhtred Ragnarson.
292
00:25:47,513 --> 00:25:48,811
It does not, Father.
293
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:50,577
Which we can clearly see.
294
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,075
Haesten has betrayed the King.
295
00:25:53,185 --> 00:25:55,916
He rode to Mercia to
kill me. Uhtred saved me.
296
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,380
God is good. Praise him!
297
00:25:58,490 --> 00:25:59,685
[priests] Praise him!
298
00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:01,391
Uh, I am at a loss.
299
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:06,528
How is it that Uhtred
knew of this danger?
300
00:26:07,433 --> 00:26:09,902
How is it that he knew
exactly where to find you?
301
00:26:10,202 --> 00:26:12,068
An interesting question, Lord.
302
00:26:12,171 --> 00:26:13,503
An irrelevant question.
303
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:17,236
Uhtred made a plan with
this Dane, this Haesten,
304
00:26:17,676 --> 00:26:21,738
to save you, to gain your
trust, to gain entry to this estate.
305
00:26:21,847 --> 00:26:23,839
- No!
- A spy?
306
00:26:24,349 --> 00:26:25,349
An assassin, even?
307
00:26:26,185 --> 00:26:27,414
No, he saved me!
308
00:26:28,053 --> 00:26:29,919
I should have expected
nothing different.
309
00:26:30,022 --> 00:26:31,854
Uhtred has risked
everything for me...
310
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:33,701
That is what he wants
you to believe, I'm sure.
311
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:37,253
It seems a rather grand strategy
Lord Aethelred, and for what?
312
00:26:37,362 --> 00:26:39,126
He is here, among us!
313
00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:40,231
And under guard.
314
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,795
Then let us get to
the truth of the matter!
315
00:26:47,739 --> 00:26:50,868
Let us hear exactly
why Uhtred is here.
316
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,120
What do you have to say to me?
317
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:06,489
I wish to speak to you alone.
318
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:12,296
This is a Witan. We are one people.
What you have to say affects all of us.
319
00:27:12,397 --> 00:27:15,492
These men are my friends
and allies. I have nothing to hide.
320
00:27:21,006 --> 00:27:22,440
I saved your daughter's life.
321
00:27:24,176 --> 00:27:26,168
It was Haesten's
intention to kidnap her.
322
00:27:26,278 --> 00:27:28,318
If that could not be done,
he would have killed her.
323
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:31,126
And you claim that
he, too, is your ally.
324
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,641
I have never made that claim.
325
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:35,983
I have listened to Haesten,
but I've never believed him fully.
326
00:27:42,094 --> 00:27:45,531
That you are here with Aethelflaed
is the only reason you are alive.
327
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:54,602
Do not tell me what you have
done. Tell us all what it is you want.
328
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:57,609
You always want something.
329
00:27:59,278 --> 00:28:01,474
I want one thousand men.
330
00:28:01,547 --> 00:28:02,547
[scoffs]
331
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:06,117
One thousand men and
I will give you Beamfleot.
332
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:07,551
I do not need Beamfleot.
333
00:28:08,954 --> 00:28:10,115
I will give you peace.
334
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:12,851
I will defeat Haesten.
335
00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:16,155
I will prevent him from joining
with the Earls Cnut and Bloodhair.
336
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,662
Not forgetting the Earl Ragnar.
337
00:28:18,330 --> 00:28:19,457
My brother is dead, Lord.
338
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:22,226
- [muttering]
- That is to your advantage.
339
00:28:23,235 --> 00:28:25,067
With Haesten defeated
and Ragnar gone,
340
00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:27,162
the Danes will have half
the army and no leader.
341
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:30,800
To prevent a great war,
you must attack Haesten.
342
00:28:31,577 --> 00:28:33,239
That seems viable, Lord.
343
00:28:34,012 --> 00:28:35,878
You wish me to divide my army?
344
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:38,411
- Yes.
- Send one thousand men east?
345
00:28:38,517 --> 00:28:41,180
- Yes!
- That is too great a risk to Wessex, Lord.
346
00:28:41,687 --> 00:28:43,315
Haesten sits inside a fortress.
347
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:46,916
One thousand men could die
upon its walls easily, and then what?
348
00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:48,516
We are overrun.
349
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:50,418
We devise a plan.
350
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:51,729
Why?
351
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:55,327
What is at stake for
Uhtred Ragnarson?
352
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:00,266
Is it Mercia you care
for? Is it Wessex?
353
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:01,849
Or is there another
reason for this attack?
354
00:29:01,873 --> 00:29:03,068
Vengeance, Lord!
355
00:29:06,111 --> 00:29:07,044
Do you require the detail?
356
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:08,671
You seek vengeance?
357
00:29:08,747 --> 00:29:09,680
I do.
358
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:13,844
The man is a fool... who
believes all of us to be fools.
359
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,885
[Alfred] You arrived here under
the protection of the Lady of Mercia.
360
00:29:17,956 --> 00:29:19,857
I shall not undermine
that protection.
361
00:29:19,925 --> 00:29:22,394
You are free to leave when
you are ready and rested.
362
00:29:23,528 --> 00:29:25,861
You remain an outlaw of Wessex.
363
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:35,571
Are you here to join me
in prayer, Father Pyrlig?
364
00:29:36,074 --> 00:29:37,074
I am not.
365
00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:41,638
My Lord, Edward, would
like to speak with Uhtred.
366
00:29:42,214 --> 00:29:43,307
About what?
367
00:29:43,415 --> 00:29:45,782
I would like to give
him hope, Father.
368
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:46,982
Hope.
369
00:29:47,085 --> 00:29:49,554
Half the number of men
he asked for. Or more.
370
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:50,486
Ah.
371
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:53,718
But, only if it were to bring a
peace, till the spring at least.
372
00:29:54,426 --> 00:29:55,553
Edward needs time.
373
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:59,159
My father's sickness
has cast a shadow.
374
00:30:00,332 --> 00:30:05,168
And I, um, I am not
yet ready to... bring light.
375
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:06,504
Cometh the hour.
376
00:30:08,607 --> 00:30:12,305
I fear a great battle now would
have only one outcome, defeat.
377
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:16,179
But if we were able to weaken the
Danes, as Uhtred has suggested...
378
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:17,977
We need to hear
more of his plan.
379
00:30:20,852 --> 00:30:21,852
Forgive me.
380
00:30:22,354 --> 00:30:23,788
There is nothing
to forgive, Lord.
381
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:26,254
You have the wisdom of a king.
382
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:29,159
Should I bring him
to you? Uhtred?
383
00:30:29,995 --> 00:30:32,123
We could all at least
listen. He does plan well.
384
00:30:32,197 --> 00:30:33,426
Yes. Do that.
385
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:35,998
You are going to fetch him now?
386
00:30:36,635 --> 00:30:37,635
Yes, Lord.
387
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:41,637
I should meet him
privately. Where?
388
00:30:42,507 --> 00:30:45,875
Thinking on it, Lord, may I
suggest you meet him in clear sight,
389
00:30:45,977 --> 00:30:47,946
as though nothing
is secret nor hidden?
390
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:56,318
[Aethelred] She shames me with
every breath that she continues to take.
391
00:30:57,456 --> 00:30:59,152
There are more
pressing matters, Lord.
392
00:31:00,325 --> 00:31:02,055
You continue to
defend her, Aldhelm.
393
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:05,463
It has not gone unnoticed.
394
00:31:05,797 --> 00:31:09,564
My concern is Mercia
and Aethelred, always.
395
00:31:11,236 --> 00:31:12,236
What's this?
396
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:17,706
Who does Edward
imagine himself to be?
397
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,819
I came to sit with
my sister for a while.
398
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:30,412
My sister, the outlaw.
399
00:31:30,522 --> 00:31:32,582
You grow by the day, Edward.
400
00:31:32,691 --> 00:31:33,750
He grows wiser.
401
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:36,559
Slowly, but hopefully.
402
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:38,557
If you would excuse me.
403
00:31:43,869 --> 00:31:46,100
I was sorry to hear
of Ragnar's death.
404
00:31:46,772 --> 00:31:49,606
He was a heathen but a
good man. I shall pray for him.
405
00:31:50,075 --> 00:31:51,075
Amen.
406
00:31:52,244 --> 00:31:54,873
He would not thank you
for your prayers, Father.
407
00:31:55,180 --> 00:31:56,580
Well they are his, all the same.
408
00:31:57,682 --> 00:31:59,207
I pray for you too, Uhtred.
409
00:31:59,618 --> 00:32:02,110
And I will not stop, in spite
of your pigheadedness.
410
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:04,886
And me, Father?
411
00:32:05,524 --> 00:32:07,425
Oh, I'm afraid you
belong to the devil already.
412
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:09,450
Hmm, you could well be right.
413
00:32:11,696 --> 00:32:13,688
Should we get on with
the matter, Father Beocca?
414
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:15,631
The sooner we get
back to the hall the better.
415
00:32:15,734 --> 00:32:16,734
Yes.
416
00:32:17,102 --> 00:32:21,096
Edward is here because he
has something to say, to ask.
417
00:32:22,574 --> 00:32:23,906
For the sake of appearances,
418
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:27,605
you should all try to behave as
if you're completely disinterested.
419
00:32:33,118 --> 00:32:36,088
How... how many men
does Haesten have?
420
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:42,086
Maybe as many as one thousand.
421
00:32:43,061 --> 00:32:44,085
And a fortress.
422
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:45,830
Beamfleot.
423
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,462
I wish to understand why...
424
00:32:50,902 --> 00:32:53,633
you believe you can defeat
him when it appears impossible.
425
00:33:01,446 --> 00:33:05,315
Laying siege to the fortress would
take three thousand and many would die.
426
00:33:06,685 --> 00:33:09,086
But I will use his hatred
of me to draw him out.
427
00:33:10,255 --> 00:33:13,020
We could feint an attack with a
small number of men and then retreat.
428
00:33:13,458 --> 00:33:16,292
Haesten will not be able to
resist the opportunity of killing me.
429
00:33:17,095 --> 00:33:19,826
On open ground, with an
army, we will have a chance.
430
00:33:20,699 --> 00:33:21,962
Men will still die.
431
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:23,934
It is war.
432
00:33:24,503 --> 00:33:27,871
Men will die at Beamfleot or they
will die here and at Winchester.
433
00:33:28,874 --> 00:33:29,807
But as I said to the King,
434
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:31,969
defeating Haesten could
well prevent a greater war.
435
00:33:32,711 --> 00:33:34,351
[Finan] And that is
no false claim, Lord.
436
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:37,873
Nothing deters a warrior
more than the news of defeat.
437
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:42,487
It is a plan that can work, but
Uhtred will need men, an army.
438
00:33:44,489 --> 00:33:47,049
And I do not wish the
devil to take me too easily.
439
00:33:47,826 --> 00:33:50,489
There's a thick forest
surrounding Beamfleot.
440
00:33:51,463 --> 00:33:52,829
A good place to hide an army.
441
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:57,996
Yes, Lord, a good place
to hide 500 men, or more.
442
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:00,631
Then you shall have them.
443
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:04,318
Is that a promise
you can keep, Lord?
444
00:34:04,342 --> 00:34:06,208
It is, or I can never
be called King.
445
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:09,708
Edward, you are certain?
446
00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:15,343
Set a day for the
attack and I will be there.
447
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:18,186
You shall have the men.
448
00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:20,886
Draw Haesten out of the fort.
449
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,359
Our army will be hidden
in the woods, waiting.
450
00:34:24,029 --> 00:34:27,727
You have my word. I swear.
451
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:45,516
Open the gates.
452
00:34:47,586 --> 00:34:49,214
[gates unlock]
453
00:34:54,059 --> 00:34:55,459
[horse whinnies]
454
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:01,927
You cannot do what you have promised
without the approval from the King.
455
00:35:03,702 --> 00:35:04,897
I will speak to him.
456
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:07,736
Do not leave it too late.
457
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:12,039
If he denies you, leave time
to ask him again and again.
458
00:35:13,645 --> 00:35:14,645
To beg?
459
00:35:15,914 --> 00:35:17,314
If needed, yes.
460
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:39,837
It was cold, so I lit a fire.
I hope you don't mind.
461
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:42,236
We have servants to light fires.
462
00:35:44,009 --> 00:35:45,009
Come.
463
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:46,510
Sit.
464
00:35:48,947 --> 00:35:50,176
I do not have an appetite.
465
00:36:00,325 --> 00:36:01,816
When will you return
to Wincelcumb?
466
00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:04,292
Oh, I have no plans to return.
467
00:36:06,131 --> 00:36:07,827
I have assigned
my guard to Uhtred
468
00:36:07,932 --> 00:36:11,926
and will remain here to go with my
husband and the men of Mercia into battle.
469
00:36:14,839 --> 00:36:16,273
May I say...
470
00:36:17,442 --> 00:36:18,933
you did not appear...
471
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:23,641
concerned, nor surprised, Lord,
472
00:36:23,982 --> 00:36:26,474
at Haesten's attempt
to kill your wife.
473
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:29,119
[pretends to gasp]
474
00:36:33,825 --> 00:36:35,726
Does my reaction now
meet with your approval?
475
00:36:36,961 --> 00:36:39,362
It does. Thank you.
476
00:36:40,732 --> 00:36:44,362
My dear, I assure
you that I will not rest,
477
00:36:44,969 --> 00:36:46,665
until I find the truth
of what happened
478
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,708
and those responsible
shall pay with their lives.
479
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:55,875
Haesten, for one, is directly
responsible for the attack.
480
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:57,744
Why do you not
seek to punish him?
481
00:36:58,016 --> 00:36:59,211
Because I am required here.
482
00:37:02,087 --> 00:37:05,546
My father too will seek
retribution and justice, I am sure.
483
00:37:06,157 --> 00:37:07,557
Should he live that long.
484
00:37:12,197 --> 00:37:13,597
I pray that he does.
485
00:37:17,268 --> 00:37:18,361
[knife strikes table]
486
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:21,900
I've found my
appetite, after all.
487
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:28,009
I killed this hare
myself with an arrow.
488
00:37:29,047 --> 00:37:31,676
You are pleased with more
than the hunting of a hare?
489
00:37:32,117 --> 00:37:36,782
I am. Alfred is dead. And I
sit opposite a vision of beauty.
490
00:37:38,389 --> 00:37:39,516
I belong to another.
491
00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:42,860
He will come.
492
00:37:44,062 --> 00:37:45,189
Soon, I hope.
493
00:37:46,297 --> 00:37:50,598
And like this hare,
will fall by my arrows.
494
00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:54,963
And then he avenge me, Lord.
495
00:37:56,975 --> 00:37:57,975
All of me.
496
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,946
Who else was
witness to this promise?
497
00:38:04,215 --> 00:38:05,215
Is that important?
498
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:08,076
All that matters is
that I gave my word.
499
00:38:08,153 --> 00:38:10,384
Lord, I was there with
the Lady Aethelflaed,
500
00:38:10,889 --> 00:38:13,552
Finan, the boy,
Sihtric, Osferth.
501
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:16,060
Some others may
have overheard possibly.
502
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:19,620
Father, it is a worthy
plan. I gave my word that...
503
00:38:19,731 --> 00:38:22,098
What you gave was
not yours to give!
504
00:38:23,735 --> 00:38:24,735
- Father...
- Say nothing!
505
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:38,842
Father Beocca, inform Uhtred that
Edward has withdrawn his support.
506
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:39,815
But I have not.
507
00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:42,163
- Lord Uhtred has already left camp.
- Then send a messenger!
508
00:38:42,187 --> 00:38:45,749
Lord King, Haesten is our enemy
now, attacking him is to our advantage...
509
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,759
- Despatch a messenger!
- It is to my advantage!
510
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:49,488
I beg you to listen to me!
511
00:38:54,032 --> 00:38:57,264
If Haesten is allowed to
join Cnut and Bloodhair,
512
00:38:57,335 --> 00:39:00,430
there will be a great battle.
513
00:39:02,507 --> 00:39:05,102
I'm not ready for such a
battle nor what will follow.
514
00:39:07,612 --> 00:39:10,377
[sighs] I am not
a king, not yet.
515
00:39:12,217 --> 00:39:17,053
And I fear the aftermath of a great
battle will be a challenge too far.
516
00:39:21,226 --> 00:39:23,957
Lord, I am no
warrior nor strategist,
517
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:27,365
but if we can defeat
one third of a great army
518
00:39:27,465 --> 00:39:29,229
before it has the
opportunity to gather...
519
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:31,529
surely that is a good thing?
520
00:39:31,636 --> 00:39:35,038
We would not be marching to
Beamfleot in support of Uhtred
521
00:39:35,807 --> 00:39:37,070
but to protect the Kingdom.
522
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:42,378
And to delay a greater
battle and give me time.
523
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:49,920
Time to become
worthy of your crown.
524
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:54,192
You should have approached me.
525
00:40:04,002 --> 00:40:05,493
But you speak the truth.
526
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,207
You are not yet
ready, far from it.
527
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:14,273
You gave your word without
the means nor ability to keep it.
528
00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:20,350
Perhaps you will never be ready.
529
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:28,926
Leave me.
530
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:31,721
- Father...
- I said, leave me.
531
00:40:43,374 --> 00:40:44,706
[door closes]
532
00:40:51,382 --> 00:40:54,443
Is it possible to be both
proud and feverish with anger?
533
00:40:56,154 --> 00:40:58,055
It is often the way,
Lord, with children.
534
00:40:59,123 --> 00:41:01,649
He is his father's son.
Of that, I have no doubt.
535
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:07,793
He can become a man to
follow, Lord, given the opportunity.
536
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:16,273
[Steapa] Gather your weapons.
537
00:41:17,942 --> 00:41:20,571
Off your arses now and
gather your weapons.
538
00:41:21,746 --> 00:41:22,746
Gather your weapons!
539
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:23,814
[Edward] Steapa!
540
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:27,846
We march, Lord, to Beamfleot.
541
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,453
Come on. Make ready. We march!
542
00:41:39,797 --> 00:41:40,856
[breathing heavily]
543
00:41:43,368 --> 00:41:45,928
It has grown heavier
these past weeks.
544
00:41:46,004 --> 00:41:47,267
[breathes heavily]
545
00:41:48,139 --> 00:41:49,163
I will manage.
546
00:42:31,382 --> 00:42:34,750
God willing, this will be the
last of both Alfred and Edward.
547
00:42:38,823 --> 00:42:40,155
You disagree, Aldhelm?
548
00:42:41,192 --> 00:42:44,594
They know my God,
Lord. The Danes do not.
549
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:51,828
Long live the King!
Long live the King!
550
00:42:51,903 --> 00:42:54,532
[soldiers cheering]
551
00:42:54,605 --> 00:43:00,841
[chanting] Long live the King!
Long live the King! Long live the King!
552
00:43:03,448 --> 00:43:05,508
[chanting continues]
553
00:43:08,186 --> 00:43:10,018
Long live the King!
554
00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:23,906
Are you are not going
with them, my dear?
555
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:28,637
My place is in Mercia, Lord.
556
00:43:43,221 --> 00:43:44,621
- [whistles]
- Huh?
557
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:47,089
[shouting]
558
00:43:47,959 --> 00:43:49,257
[grunting]
559
00:43:51,662 --> 00:43:53,460
[shushes]
560
00:43:53,564 --> 00:43:55,430
You are a lucky man.
561
00:43:56,067 --> 00:44:01,665
You will go back to Haesten and tell him
exactly what you have seen here. Agreed?
562
00:44:02,473 --> 00:44:03,338
Yes.
563
00:44:03,441 --> 00:44:04,670
Yes.
564
00:44:10,515 --> 00:44:14,247
Uhtred has finally arrived to
claim you, as you said he would.
565
00:44:15,353 --> 00:44:16,753
With how many men?
566
00:44:17,155 --> 00:44:18,350
Not more than 30.
567
00:44:18,456 --> 00:44:19,355
That is all?
568
00:44:19,457 --> 00:44:21,517
[laughs] 30... 50...
569
00:44:21,626 --> 00:44:25,961
All he can do is try to
creep over the walls.
570
00:44:26,831 --> 00:44:30,859
And when he moves, I will
have his balls. [chuckles]
571
00:44:31,469 --> 00:44:32,698
30 men is nothing.
572
00:44:32,803 --> 00:44:37,969
He is no longer a lord. He
has no men, no silver, no land.
573
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:39,935
Then be sure to win me, Lord.
574
00:44:41,112 --> 00:44:43,274
And be sure to
gift me prisoners.
575
00:44:44,282 --> 00:44:47,013
I have not seen a man
beg for mercy for some time.
576
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:01,790
[distant horns]
577
00:45:25,756 --> 00:45:29,193
The great Lord
Uhtred and his army.
578
00:45:30,695 --> 00:45:32,891
Ready the archers and
prepare every last man.
579
00:45:33,598 --> 00:45:35,931
The Dane-slayer shall
die this very morning.
580
00:45:36,867 --> 00:45:38,165
[Dagfinn] Yes, Lord.
581
00:45:40,071 --> 00:45:42,870
Lord Uhtred! Such
a frightening sight!
582
00:45:43,541 --> 00:45:46,534
You are a coward, Haesten,
hiding inside your fortress!
583
00:45:46,877 --> 00:45:50,041
When the priests of
Eoferwic did rise, you fled.
584
00:45:50,381 --> 00:45:54,910
When Sigefrid attacked Alfred, you fled.
And at the nunnery, once again, you fled.
585
00:45:57,054 --> 00:45:59,046
[scoffs] I took your woman!
586
00:45:59,890 --> 00:46:03,520
And as long as I live and
breathe, she still is my woman!
587
00:46:04,562 --> 00:46:07,555
Fight me! I will wait for
you in the clearing there.
588
00:46:07,632 --> 00:46:09,066
Bring a guard and no more.
589
00:46:09,133 --> 00:46:11,762
Let us make this square
and let the two of us fight!
590
00:46:12,103 --> 00:46:14,698
That is what you
want Uhtred, to die?
591
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:17,235
What I want is an end to this!
592
00:46:17,742 --> 00:46:20,803
What is most likely to happen
is you will remain a coward,
593
00:46:20,911 --> 00:46:23,278
you will remain
inside your fortress...
594
00:46:23,381 --> 00:46:24,644
[laughing]
595
00:46:24,749 --> 00:46:27,446
Songs will be sung
about your cowardice.
596
00:46:28,386 --> 00:46:30,218
I shall pay for
them to be written!
597
00:46:31,222 --> 00:46:33,623
I am no coward, Dane-slayer!
598
00:46:34,392 --> 00:46:37,624
If death is what you want,
then you shall have it!
599
00:46:41,966 --> 00:46:43,628
[Finan] Lord, the job is done.
600
00:47:27,778 --> 00:47:28,973
It's been half a day.
601
00:47:30,681 --> 00:47:31,876
[sighs]
602
00:47:32,550 --> 00:47:34,178
Maybe he's scared of the priest.
603
00:47:36,654 --> 00:47:37,654
We leave!
604
00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:50,397
Lord! Lord! Lord!
605
00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:55,705
Run!
606
00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:05,181
Halt!
607
00:48:07,351 --> 00:48:08,580
Two lines!
608
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:16,359
Shields up!
609
00:48:16,394 --> 00:48:18,693
[Haesten] Surround
them! Give them no escape!
610
00:48:19,363 --> 00:48:22,697
And then we kill every
last one of the bastards!
611
00:48:24,235 --> 00:48:25,235
[Uhtred] Turn!
612
00:48:27,772 --> 00:48:28,772
Circle!
613
00:48:32,209 --> 00:48:33,700
[shouting]
614
00:48:51,362 --> 00:48:52,921
May the good Lord protect me.
615
00:48:54,131 --> 00:48:55,292
Protect us all.
616
00:49:19,223 --> 00:49:20,223
We wait.
617
00:49:28,499 --> 00:49:32,334
- We hold. We give them no ground!
- We have no ground to give, Lord.
618
00:49:32,436 --> 00:49:35,565
Give up Uhtred, and
the rest of you will live!
619
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,968
All I want is the Dane-slayer!
620
00:49:38,075 --> 00:49:42,479
What you will get, Haesten,
is my sword up your hairy arse!
621
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:47,780
[laughs] As you wish.
You will die on your knees!
622
00:49:47,852 --> 00:49:49,912
[cheering]
623
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:53,014
Lord, where is Alfred's
army? Why are they waiting?
624
00:49:53,123 --> 00:49:58,619
I want the head of
Uhtred Ragnarson!
625
00:49:58,696 --> 00:49:59,925
[cheering]
626
00:50:07,938 --> 00:50:09,702
Stand fast!
627
00:50:37,368 --> 00:50:39,030
[Osferth] Sihtric, no!
628
00:50:41,572 --> 00:50:43,404
Not one man is to live!
629
00:50:43,507 --> 00:50:46,841
Turn the field red with
Saxon blood and flesh!
630
00:50:54,485 --> 00:50:56,477
- Lord?
- We hold our position.
631
00:50:58,756 --> 00:51:02,921
They're being slaughtered.
Lord King, I gave him my word.
632
00:51:03,027 --> 00:51:04,325
We hold our position!
633
00:51:16,674 --> 00:51:18,108

[yelling]
636
00:51:30,354 --> 00:51:33,415
We cannot just stand
by and watch them die!
637
00:51:33,691 --> 00:51:34,750
What would Uhtred do?
638
00:51:35,192 --> 00:51:37,525
He would allow his enemies
to destroy one another.
639
00:51:37,595 --> 00:51:39,860
- I gave him my word!
- Then what will you do, boy?
640
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:42,798
You can either bleat or
you can make a decision!
641
00:51:44,568 --> 00:51:45,568
What will you do?
642
