﻿1
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,680
[Uhtred] I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.

2
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:20,400
On the eve of his death, I finally
made peace with the great King Alfred.

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,600
[Alfred] You are hereby pardoned.

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,120
[Uhtred] He is gone.

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Wessex is in chaos.

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,240
Have a messenger return to Mercia.

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,600
I'd like the comfort
of further hearth-guards.

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,360
[Uhtred] And his vision of one England
is incomplete.

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,600
It is the purpose of the witan
to choose a king.

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,200
Uhtred cannot be allowed
to ally himself to Edward.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,360
[Uhtred] This is the moment the Danes
have long waited for.

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,480
But Brida seeks the truth.

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,640
[Brida] Men are saying he killed Ragnar.

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,760
- Aethelwold?
- Was it him?

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240
[Cnut] He was in fear of Ragnar.

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,680
Then he's mine to kill.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,360
[Uhtred] Only with Thyra's blood
can we send my brother Ragnar to Valhalla.

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,720
You will tell your friend Uhtred
his pardon is to be rescinded.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,880
He must leave Winchester
or I shall have him taken.

20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,120
[Uhtred] The lady Aelswith has dishonored
her husband's wishes

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,360
and I am imprisoned,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,200
at a time when my sister
is seen only as a Dane.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Is that not what she is?

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,880
[Uhtred] An enemy.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,160
In a hole is where you belong.

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,040
[choking]

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,760
[Uhtred] Destiny is all.

[Erkenwald] He is with God.

40
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,920
May his soul rest in peace
for all eternity. Amen.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,080
[woman] Fire! Sound the bell. Fire!

42
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:10,760
Fetch the water!

43
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
[Aethelwold] We should meet, Lord.
Continue our previous discussion.

44
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,080
For what purpose?

45
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,280
The Danes will hear of Alfred's death
and they will attack Mercia.

46
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Mercia will be ready.

47
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,440
To die? Or to thrive?

48
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Find me.

49
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:32,640
I find him to be lower
than a snake's belly.

50
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,400
That does not mean that he is wrong.

51
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,720
- [indistinct yelling]
- [bell ringing]

52
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,280
We need to stop the fire spreading!
Get more water!

53
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,960
For Christ's sake, get more water!

54
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,600
[Finan] Oh, be-Jesus!

55
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,720
[Osferth] Oh, dear Lord!

56
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Fetch Father Beocca! Fetch him now! Go!

57
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,960
[Sihtric] More water!

58
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Thyra? Is she inside?

59
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,560
- I thought she was at the palace.
- No, no, she left. She walked out!

60
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,080
[man] More water!

61

[gasping]

62
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,360
[Aelswith] Father Beocca?

63
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,400
We would like a last moment with the king.

64
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,360
Alone.

65
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Yes, of course.

66
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,400
- Lady Aelswith, forgive me.
- [Osferth whispers indistinctly]

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,480
You're going against the king's wishes.

68
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Father Beocca? You may be needed.

69
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,480
[Sihtric] Get the door! Get the door!

70
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120
Get back! Get back!

00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,880
[people screaming]

72
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,000
No! No, this is not happening!

73
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,160
Thyra!

74
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,000
I'm here! I am here!

75
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,280
Thyra!

76
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,760
[sobbing]

77
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,920
Thyra!

78
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120
[inaudible]

79
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,360
Beocca.

80
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,640
[inaudible]

81
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,920
Father, she is with God now.
You know that.

82
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,720
And he will welcome her, I'm sure.

83
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,040
[sniffles] It's how her family died,
in a fire.

84
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720
You think that would be a comfort?
Or would it terrify her further?

85
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,360
Father, all we know
is that she's at peace now.

86
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,960
She's at peace.

87
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,160
You need to walk away now, Father.
A drink of ale, maybe?

88
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,840
Once the heat has gone,

89
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,960
I shall recover her
and wrap her for you to bury.

90
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,360
I... No... I will find her.
She is my wife.

91
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760
She is. We'll help you then.

92
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,120
This fire did not just happen. It did not.

93
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,200
These are dark and important days
for both Wessex and Mercia.

94
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Just as soon as the Danes hear
of Alfred's death...

95
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,440
They will attack, you have said,
and we agree.

96
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,240
- We will fight.
- Why? Why fight only to lose?

97
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Who says we must lose?

98
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,880
To have even a chance,
Mercia would need Wessex,

99
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,080
and Wessex has been left
with a pup as its master. You'll lose.

100
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480
The Danes will march
and we will have to fight.

101
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,480
[Aethelwold] We negotiate.
Then let them slaughter Edward

102
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,400
and the small number of idiots
who choose to follow him.

103
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Small number?

104
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,160
He does not have all of Wessex behind him.
Some will follow, but not all.

105
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,360
Wessex will not have great numbers of men.

106
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Lord Sigebriht is about to return to Cent

107
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880
and ready his own
considerable guard and fyrd.

108
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,000
To do what? To join the Danes?

109
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400
Edward is not Alfred
and never can be, but...

110
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,120
- There'll be no need for swords!
- I am merely introducing myself.

111
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560
- You will let me go!
- Not until there is calm.

112
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480
There is madness.
Father Beocca, you are suffering.

113
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,720
I do not wish to hear your voice.

114
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,960
It was you who killed her,
not some stray ember on a bed of straw.

115
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,360
- [Aethelwold] I am not to blame for your...
- [Beocca] It was you.

116
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760
If not directly,
then by the words you whisper,

117
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,800
by the lies you tell, the bile you spew!

118
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,760
I think we should find another table.

119
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,840
In the eyes of some, a gentle woman
became an enemy and nothing more.

120
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,560
You should turn a deaf ear to this man.

121
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Father Beocca,
I will forgive this display, just once.

122
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Another word and you will pay.

123
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,480
What have I said? Wessex is splintered.
I will have no more of it.

124
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,160
[men yelling indistinctly]

125
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,000
[men grunting]

126
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,680
[Cnut] Haesten? What is this?

127
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,160
It is the beginning, my friend. [laughs]

128
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,680
Alfred, king of the shit-eating Saxons...

129
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,720
has breathed his last! The king is dead!

130
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,920
[men cheering]

131
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,680
Haesten, and you are certain this time?

132
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,080
- Dagfinn?
- [Dagfinn] It is true, Lord.

133
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,040
We have heard it many times, from priests
and warriors and peasants alike.

134
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720
They cry in the streets of Winchester.

135
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,440
- Then it begins.
- [Haesten] Hmm.

136
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,040
It begins.

137
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,120
Sharpen your blades! It begins!

138
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,680
[men grunting]

139
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,680
[Uhtred] Is there to be a trial,
or a simple execution?

140
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,040
[Aethelflaed] It was my mother's intention
to cut your throat,

141
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,640
but she has been persuaded
to revert to banishment.

142
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,840
You are to leave Winchester and Wessex
and never return.

143
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,920
And what of Edward?

144
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,280
What of the king's letter, his pardon?
Does that count for nothing?

145
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Uhtred, you must leave
or she will have you killed.

146
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,640
Find Beocca.

147
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,760
I must speak to Beocca. Fetch him, please.

148
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,560
I cannot fetch him.

149
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,240
He has trials enough.

150
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,600
What trials?

151
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,200
[Beocca] I am here.

152
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,800
I have heard what the lady has said,

153
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,560
and I am here to beg you, Uhtred,
to beg you to stay.

154
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,160
[Aethelflaed] He cannot stay.

155
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,000
- There will be a hearing.
- Perhaps.

156
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,280
- And we shall be heard. We must.
- [Uhtred] What has happened?

157
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,800
Accept a trial and speak out.
If you do not, the devil will have won!

158
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,800
- Beocca?
- Do not abandon what you helped to build.

159
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,600
[Uhtred] There is a change in you.

160
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Thyra is with God... the gods, even.

161
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
- How?
- [Beocca] Fire.

162
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:51,080
Set by good Christian men, no doubt.

163
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,200
Which men?

164
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,360
[Beocca] She is with Gisela now.
She is with her mother.

165
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,880
We cannot allow ourselves
to be consumed by her death.

166
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880
All that Alfred stood for is crumbling.

167
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,480
You, Uhtred, cannot be dragged
into the shadows.

168
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120
You must become the light.

169
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:31,160
[Aethelred] My Lady Aethelflaed.

170
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,400
You will inform your brother
and your mother

171
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280
that Mercia has a king with his own mind.

172
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,440
I will do nothing of the sort.

173
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Alfred is gone. Therefore, all agreements
made with Alfred no longer stand.

174
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,400
Mercia will remain allied with Wessex.

175
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,240
The two countries will stand together
or they will fail.

176
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,800
The two countries are equals.

177
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,960
Each free to choose
who to befriend and who to fight.

178
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Who to fight?

179
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,960
Lord Aldhelm, you must remind my husband
what it means to be a Mercian.

180
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,200
Lord King, I must say
I do not disagree with her.

181
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,760
I need assuring, Lord,

182
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,920
that you will not align Mercia
with Aethelwold, nor the Danes.

183
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,240
It would be a betrayal.

184
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,840
[Aethelred] You need assuring?

185
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,840
- We are proud Mercians, Lord.
- Do you question me?

186
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,120
I am concerned.

187
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Do you doubt me?

188
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,880
I simply wish to understand your thinking.

189
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,400
My guard of 50 men.

190
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Did you send for them?

191
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,320
You will agree they are needed at home.

192
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Did you send for my guard of 50 men?

193
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:50,680
I did not.

194
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:03,200
Should you live, Aldhelm,
never disobey me again. Never.

195
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,240
[Aldhelm grunting]

196
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Your wound is from an alehouse brawl.

197
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,320
I have been considering
my defection to the Danes.

198
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,040
- I will hold until the very last moment.
- [Aethelwold] Meaning what?

199
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,440
Edward will march and I will promise
to join him, but I will arrive late.

200
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,000
As the Danes attack from the front,
I will attack from the rear.

201
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,320
My army against a fyrd of peasants.

202
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,600
It'll be a slaughter
and my men will survive.

203
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,280
I can almost hear the screams of panic.

204
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,760
[panting] Lady, forgive me.
I did not know where else to go.

205
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,160
He believes he can negotiate...

206
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,040
[grunting] or is at least
considering the possibility.

207
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,360
The bleeding has stemmed. I hope.

208
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560
A gut wound is a slow death.

209
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,480
A gut wound can heal. It will heal.

210
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,520
[breathing heavily]

211
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,520
Lady...

212
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,040
you have my heart.

213
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,720
I fear that I love you.

214
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,440
If I can't say it while dying,
when will I?

215
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,600
You are not dying.

216
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Lady, you must act, for Mercia. You must.

217
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,880
Call the men to arms and save us.

218
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,360
[door opens]

219
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,360
It's time.

220
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,600
I am to take you
to the frontier of Mercia,

221
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,080
to witness you leaving Wessex.

222
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Lord? What is this, a hunting party?

223
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,680
[Uhtred] I am an outlaw once again.
To be banished or executed.

224
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Shall we follow you, Lord?

225
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Leave Winchester for the Danes?

226
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,359
[Steapa] Lord?

227
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,880
Walk.

228
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,400
[Aelswith] What is he doing?

229
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,880
He's standing still, Lady.

230
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,240
Uhtred, you will walk
and you will get up onto your horse!

231
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,760
I am a free man.
I have a letter of pardon.

232
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,600
It bears the king's seal.
It is written in the king's hand...

233
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,880
Someone take his tongue.

234
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,880
Does Alfred's word count for nothing,
now that he is gone?

235
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,440
And you are a man who once held a knife
to the king's throat.

236
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,520
Show us one witness who can say
this letter was written willingly.

237
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040
- One witness.
- [Uhtred] There was no witness.

238
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,760
We are gifting you your life!
You shall be grateful

239
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,800
and you shall leave this land in peace!

240
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,560
There will be no peace, Lady.
War is coming.

241
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,640
[crowd murmuring]

242
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,920
[Uhtred] There is a Dane army
marching this very moment.

243
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,200
And I will not abandon
the people of Wessex...

244
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,600
[Aelswith] Who do you think you are?
Steapa!

245
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,600
- The entire city is watching.
- Uhtred speaks the truth.

246
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560
- And you are nothing but smitten.
- [Beocca] Lady Aelswith!

247
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,160
I cannot let this injustice
go unchallenged.

248
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,200
If Uhtred of Bebbanburg claims
to have been made a free man

249
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,840
by King Alfred himself...

250
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:51,600
we cannot dismiss it so lightly.
Only a king can deny a king.

251
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Wessex has no king. Wessex has no king!

252
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,400
We have Edward Rex.

253
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,680
The witan decides who is king.

254
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,440
[Uhtred] Edward is the aetheling.

255
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,120
He has no authority.
He is Alfred's son and nothing more!

256
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,760
I'm sure the monasteries
are full of Alfred's sons.

257
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,280
Do all bastards have a claim to the crown?

258
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:10,600
Bishop Erkenwald,
you will end this display.

259
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000
King or not, if Edward believes
the letter of pardon to be untrue,

260
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,880
then I will leave Wessex.

261
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,080
[Erkenwald] Steapa, you will return
the prisoner to the palace.

262
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,160
This is no place for such decisions.

263
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,840
This is precisely the place!
Justice must be seen to be done!

264
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,200
Steapa! Unhand the prisoner.

265
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Though he remains a prisoner,

266
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,560
I will allow Lord Uhtred to speak.
He has earned that right.

267
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Though you have not, Lord, not yet.
You have no authority.

268
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Do you object to the people bearing
witness to justice, Lord Aethelwold?

269
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,440
I do not.

270
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,240
[Edward] Uhtred, the king swore that you
were to die. Why the change in his heart?

271
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,880
Because he believed
that I deserved his forgiveness.

272
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Is that a boast?

273
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,400
Look to his chronicle. I am on every page.

274
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,160
That is a lie.
You are not named, even once!

275
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,360
But I am there.
Unwritten, Lady, but I am there!

276
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,800
The warriors of Wessex know it.

277
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,000
The Danes know it.

278
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,120
And it is what the king
has told me himself.

279
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,600
I have heard enough.

280
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,640
[Uhtred] I am with him
from the Somerset Marshes to Ethandun

281
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,840
and all of the battles that have followed.

282
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,920
We were bonded, him and I.

283
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,080
He was the man that I could never be,
nor did I wish to be.

284
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,440
He was a man that I loved and despised...

285
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,160
but it was never less than an honor
to serve him.

286
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,960
He was my king.

287
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,000
And he did not wish to go to his God

288
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,200
without granting me what I have earned
many times over!

289
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,120
My freedom.

290
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,560
- [crowd murmuring]
- But the question remains:

291
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,720
Why did he choose not to announce it?

292
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:34,120
You will remember my great friend Leofric,
a warrior and a Saxon to the bone!

293
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,160
He told me once
that I could never better Alfred.

294
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,600
"Because the bastard thinks," he said.

295
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,600
[crowd chuckles]

296
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,560
Perhaps your father chose not to announce
my freedom for this very reason...

297
00:21:54,120 --> 00:22:00,080
so that the people could witness their
new king, Edward, dispensing justice.

298
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,200
Fairly, I hope.

299
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,640
Will you accept the decision
of Edward Rex?

300
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,280
I will. I give you my word.

301
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760
- Lord...
- Again, I say, and with respect,

302
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,680
the boy does not have the power
to make such a statement.

303
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,000
He is an aetheling and nothing more.

304
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,920
He is no more an heir to the crown
than myself.

305
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,400
Lord, the decision is yours to make.

306
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,760
My father, King Alfred,
demanded loyalty, unity.

307
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080
He believed in his god
and doubted those who did not.

308
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,160
A heathen would not be trusted completely

309
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,760
until he had embraced
Alfred's god as his own.

310
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,040
And yet...

311
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,480
it was a heathen he did trust most.

312
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,720
It was the word of Uhtred
that he respected most.

313
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, I find the letter
written by my father to be true.

314
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,560
Alfred's pardon does stand.

315
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,760
You are a free man,
able to choose your own path.

316
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,920
[crowd cheering]

317
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,960
May I ask, Lord Uhtred, may I ask?

318
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,680
Now that you are a free man once more,
where will your path lead?

319
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,560
I would like to know.

320
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Steapa, my sword.

321
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:54,560
One day, Father, I hope that my path
will eventually lead north to Bebbanburg,

322
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,720
but now, I believe I am needed here.

323
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,680
- I will follow Edward Rex!
- [crowd cheering]

324
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:26,040
Cnut, swear to the gods that it was
Aethelwold who killed Ragnar.

325
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,720
It was. I swear.

326
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,000
He must not fall in battle. If you wish
to see Ragnar in the hall of the slain,

327
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480
then Aethelwold must not just fall
to any sword.

328
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,520
- [Cnut] I do not understand.
- Keep him safe until I'm ready.

329
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320
Do it for me and for Ragnar.

330
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,880
I will. I will keep him safe.

331
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080
[Brida] We fight for Ragnar!

332
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,120
And for every Dane that has ever fallen
to a Saxon sword!

333
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,800
[men shouting]

334
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,400
If the Danes are moving through
East Anglia and towards eastern Mercia,

335
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,320
then that land is Danelaw.

336
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Their army can only grow.

337
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:07,520
As before, we must march out to meet them.

338
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,760
[Aethelred] I've spies inside Danelaw.
They confirmed they are moving closer.

339
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,360
I have issued an order for my men
at the frontier to retreat.

340
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Retreat?

341
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,400
It is good sense, Lord.
Every warrior must be made to count.

342
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,640
[Aethelred] But how far do I retreat?

343
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Where and when does Mercia make a stand?

344
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,960
Where and when will we be joined
by Wessex?

345
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,400
That is to be decided.

346
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,760
I would like to know.

347
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,360
Because Wessex appears to be
in a land of chaos and doubt.

348
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:37,120
Does each of the handful of ealdormen here
stand with Edward?

349
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,520
We do. Of course we do.

350
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,080
He is to be king.

351
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Lord Sigebriht?

352
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,360
We do.

353
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,760
[Aethelred] And what of those
who are not here?

354
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,280
Those who hurried back to their halls,
despite knowing there is talk of war?

355
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,920
They are with us!

356
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,600
Wessex will not have great numbers,
I am hearing.

357
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,360
- We shall be marching to fight, Lord.
- Lord King...

358
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,360
Do not believe there is another option.
Haesten and Cnut are men without honor.

359
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,120
They will take your land, your silver
and the tin crown from your head.

360
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,560
All of you, hear me.

361
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,920
Yes, it is likely that the Danes
will have greater numbers,

362
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,360
but this is a battle that we can win.

363
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,640
Though it will take all of us,
every man and every sword,

364
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,640
and we will fight with all the guile
and wit that Alfred has instilled.

365
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600
- God is with us.
- [people murmuring]

366
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,800
I shall return to Mercia.

367
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,480
Send word of your intentions, and soon,

368
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,920
but, I warn you, I will not fight
a battle that cannot be won.

369
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,160
I won't send my subjects into a slaughter.

370
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720
Do you wish to become a puppet,
Lord Aethelred?

371
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,280
Send word.

372
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,320
[Aethelhelm] Lord.

373
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,080
[Edward] He's right.

374
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,680
I am not my father.

375
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,840
When Winchester fell to Guthrum,

376
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,400
your father hid himself away
in the marshes, for months.

377
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,560
He hid in fear for his life
and of failure,

378
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:38,920
but he overcame that fear.

379
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:46,520
We will find the words and you will write
to every ealdorman and thegn of Wessex

380
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,360
and they will answer your call.
They will come.

381
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,400
To where?

382
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,160
Lord, if we have fewer men,

383
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,040
the very last place we want to fight
is open ground.

384
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,560
Bedanford.

385
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,360
Bedanford is a good distance away.

386
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,680
That is the path they would take.

387
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:19,240
It is a long march, Lord,
but the land could be to our advantage.

388
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,400
[Finan] It could, Lord.

389
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,240
Bedanford it must be.

390
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,520
Then I will do it.

391
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,440
With your help, I will find the words.

392
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,080
[Beocca] The devil cannot win.

393
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,760
The devil will not win.

394
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,120
I will need a sword, or an ax. A shield.

395
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,520
This is a battle I will not watch.

396
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,320
I need to fight, Uhtred,
till I can fight no more.

397
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,200
Lord Sigebriht.

398
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,400
- You are leaving in the night?
- There is an army to raise.

399
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,280
You have been sitting with Aethelwold
for some time.

400
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,200
If you are questioning my loyalty, do not.

401
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,840
I am Wessex,
as was my father and my grandfather.

402
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,440
But you are not for Edward.

403
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,840
That does not make me
a traitor to my country.

404
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800
- Then you will be there, in battle?
- I will.

405
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,720
Wessex will need the men of Cent.

406
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,960
A letter will soon find you.

407
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,920
We will be there.
For the good of Cent, and for Wessex.

408
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,280
Yes, for Wessex, Lord Sigebriht.

409
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,280
You are one day Saxon,
the very next day Dane, Uhtred.

410
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,960
I have not yet offered you my condolences
for Ragnar.

411
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,400
Your brother deserved a warrior's death.

412
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,480
I am sorry you will not see him
in Valhalla.

413
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,640
This is where you belong, Aethelwold.

414
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Winchester?

415
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Standing on a stable floor
like a horse's turd.

416
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Will you be riding for Edward?

417
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,160
I will be there
and I will be praying for a great victory.

418
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,680
- For Saxon or for Dane?
- Do you care? You belong to neither.

419
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,880
I did once fear you, Uhtred,

420
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,800
but now I see you are nothing but a sword.
A lump of metal.

421
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,080
Yes, you have reputation,
but that will fade.

422
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,600
And you will die forgotten and unwritten.

423
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,840
You will go neither to Heaven
nor to Valhalla.

424
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,440
[sighs] This letter from Edward,
it had better be good.

425
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
[Uhtred] A letter has been sent.

426
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,520
It speaks out to every man in the kingdom,
demanding that he answers the call

427
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640
and joins us on the road to battle.

428
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,960
It says that this will be a battle

429
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,160
that will be spoken of
for lifetimes to come.

430
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,800
It is a battle that no man can ignore,
no man can stand by and watch.

431
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,600
Every man must find a weapon
and every man must fight!

432
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Wessex will always be the light.

433
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,600
And no matter how heavy our swords become,

434
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,960
we must fight.

435
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Fight! Fight and keep on fighting
until the victory is ours!

436
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,240
[men cheering]

437
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,560
We march!

438
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,920
[Sihtric] Aethelwold is not with us.

439
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,200
I wondered why the stench had gone.
No doubt he's making his way to the Danes.

440
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640
He may know of Bedanford.
He will tell them.

441
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,320
Which is why we're heading
towards the woods. Beyond Bedanford.

442
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,280
[Osferth] We are?

443
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,800
We assemble at Bedanford as requested,

444
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,760
but then we march on
to attack the Danes in the woodlands.

445
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,960
A small advantage for our smaller numbers.

446
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,720
You have the blood kept safe?

447
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,520
I do, Lord. Always. And it is blessed.

448
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Thyra's blood?

449
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,200
[Uhtred] Yes.

450
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,920
And it will save Ragnar's soul?

451
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,680
It will take him
from Niflheim to Valhalla, yes.

452
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,480
From Hell into Heaven.

453
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,440
I must kill the man who killed Ragnar,
with a blade marked with Ragnar's blood.

454
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Thyra's blood.

455
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,680
It is the same.

456
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,159
Who is this man you will kill?

457
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,600
I do not know.

458
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,280
[Brida] So Uhtred lives?

459
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,680
- Now rides with Edward?
- Yes.

460
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,080
You were supposed to kill him.

461
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,800
And I did not.

462
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,520
Could you not find him sleeping?

463
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,720
It barely matters
because Wessex is broken.

464
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,240
Half the ealdormen
will not answer Edward's call

465
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,320
and in one that will, we have an ally.

466
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,480
Sigebriht of Cent.

467
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,000
He commands one of the greatest armies
of Wessex and he is with us.

468
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,240
He is? Then he will join us when?

469
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,320
He will join us in battle.

470
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,720
My plan is that he will arrive
to attack the Saxons from the rear,

471
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,920
once battle has begun.

472
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,360
Good.

473
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,120
- [Brida] Jackdaw?
- [Jackdaw] What?

474
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Cnut will be sending out spies
in search of the Saxon camp.

475
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,280
You will follow.

476
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:22,080
I will?

477
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,320
You will find Uhtred
and give him a message.

478
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,760
[Edward] Still no word
from Lord Sigebriht.

479
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,400
I'd hoped some men would be here already.

480
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:49,840
[Uhtred] They will come.

481
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,800
We must continue on to the woodland
and begin the fight.

482
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,080
We cannot allow them into open ground.

483
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,320
Then this may well be
the place we die, Uhtred.

484
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,480
Or it may well be the place
you become king, Lord.

485
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,680
A great king,
like your father at Ethandun.

486
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,200
[horses neigh]

487
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,520
[Finan] There is nothing more useless
than a dead spy.

488
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,360
[Sihtric] Finan?

489
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:42,240
Jackdaw?

490
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,920
He says he has a message, Lord.

491
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,920
I do, Lord. It's from Brida.

492
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,640
Say it.

493
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,640
Am I to be spared?

494
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,520
Yes, you will be spared, but you will not
be returning to the Danes.

495
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,040
Say your message.

496
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,880
She says, "Aethelwold," Lord.

497
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,080
She says, "Do not fail."

498
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,360
How long before they come?

499
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:20,720
They are near.

500
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:24,240
You are facing death, for certain.

501
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,480
You are wrong, Jackdaw. I will not die.

502
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,400
Osferth!

503
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:34,960
The blood.

504
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,600
[Edward] Today, I ask you
not to fight for Alfred.

505
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,160
I ask you not to fight for Edward,
nor the crown.

506
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,240
But to fight for yourselves.
And your forefathers!

507
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:11,400
They are buried in the soil
of Wessex and Mercia,

508
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,200
and they have become the soil.

509
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,560
They are the land. And even as I speak...

510
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,720
it is for them we are fighting!

511
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,120
[men shouting]

512
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,960
[indistinct yelling]

513
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,520
[men screaming]

514
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,160
They're attacking the rear!
Defend the line! Move!

515
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:34,440
Everyone! Attack! Attack!

516
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,640
Move! Now!

517
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,760
Kill every shit-eating Saxon bastard!

518
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,840
[Finan] Uhtred,
there's too many of the bastards!

519
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,040
Keep your ground!

520
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,240
[Sihtric] Where are the Mercians?

521
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,360
[grunts] Uhtred, the line is breaking!

522
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,360
[Uhtred] Push back!

523
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,280
Where is Sigebriht?

524
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,440
Lord! Horses!

525
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Horses!

526
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,960
It is Aethelflaed! It is Mercia!

527
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,000
They are holding firm! Aethelwold!
When will your man attack?

528
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,200
Soon! When they are tired! Very soon!

529
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,440
There! There! There he is! Did I not say?

530
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,000
What position is he taking?

531
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,760
- For our forefathers!
- [men shouting]

532
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,320
[Sigebriht] And for Wessex!

533
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,440
[Haesten] Is he joining our line?

534
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,400
That is your man!

535
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,240
That is your man.
And he's fighting for Edward!

536
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,200
He has betrayed us!
We still have the numbers!

537
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,840
- [Haesten] That is your man!
- [man shouting]

538
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,440
Push! With me!

539
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:39,320
[men grunting]

540
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Fight! Stand your ground and fight!

541
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,000
We have been betrayed.

542
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:14,720
[grunts]

543
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,960
- They are possessed by devils!
- [grunting]

544
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,040
It is lost.

545
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:09,760
[groaning]

546
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,800
[panting]

547
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,160
Uhtred, please.

548
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,120
My arm is broken.

549
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,400
I have no way of wielding a sword.

550
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,680
You have another arm.

551
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,760
Please. I will go north, east or west.

552
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,760
I will go to Frankia. To Ireland, even...

553
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:12,760
You killed Ragnar.

554
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,720
- No. No, I didn't. I couldn't.
- You killed him.

555
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,400
- Never.
- Admit your guilt.

556
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,080
I am guilty of nothing more
than wanting what is rightly mine.

557
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,280
- Admit it.
- We are the same, our kingdoms stolen.

558
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,000
You killed my brother! Admit it to me!

559
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,360
Yes.

560
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:40,720
Or he would have killed me.
It was a war of sorts between us.

561
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:47,960
I am not worth it.

562
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,080
I swear you will never see me again.
I will go anywhere,

563
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,760
travel as far away as you wish.

564
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,360
Please.

565
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,040
[crying] Please.

566
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,680
Please, please.

567
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:10,120
Uhtred... Uhtred, please.

568
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,960
You will need silver to travel.

569
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,400
A ship's fare.

570
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:26,480
Yes.

571
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,280
I would.

572
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,520
Not much.

573
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,560
You will never see this face again.

574
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:43,960
[gasping]

575
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,080
You will go to Hell.

576
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:09,720
[Brida] Uhtred?

577
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,480
Look, a bridge.

578
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,320
He's crossing to Valhalla.

579
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,320
He's free.

580
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,240
[Uhtred] It will be written
in the Saxon chronicle

581
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,040
that Edward did gain a great victory
over the Danes,

582
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,800
ensuring he would become King of Wessex.

583
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,040
But other battles lie ahead,

584
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,520
both with the Danes
and within Wessex itself.

585
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:21,320
A king must decide who he can trust
and who he must discard.

586
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:30,320
He must understand the minds
of both his enemies and his friends.

587
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:38,040
He must recognize that the truth of a man
lies not in the land of his birth,

588
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:40,880
but in his heart.

589
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,880
A king must be a king on his own terms.

590
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,840
He cannot be his father.
He can only be himself.

591
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,080
The chronicle will grow.
Pages will be added.

592
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:11,200
But Uhtred of Bebbanburg
will not be mentioned.

593
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,640
Although I, too, was victorious.

594
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:22,280
My name is Uhtred, son of Uhtred.

595
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,520
My name is Uhtred Ragnarson.

596
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,640
Destiny is all.

596
00:51:31,305 --> 00:52:31,880
