1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,503
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:10,277
My birthright Bebbanburg was
cruelly taken by my Uncle Aelfric.
3
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:14,111
My greatest fighters...
or the most fearful?
4
00:00:14,181 --> 00:00:15,877
[Uhtred] His men desert him
5
00:00:15,983 --> 00:00:19,818
and the Scots send raiders,
who weaken those that remain.
6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,152
How many did we lose this time?
7
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:25,787
[Uhtred] The time is right for
me to take back what is mine.
8
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:28,362
Give me 100 men.
It will take a week.
9
00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:30,727
Two hundred, I
can take it in a day.
10
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:35,963
But the new king, Edward, has fallen
under the influence of Lord Aethelhelm.
11
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:38,904
I'm no longer the boy who
can be bent to your will!
12
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:43,068
[Uhtred] Aethelred of Mercia looks
to Bebbanburg for a different purpose.
13
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:46,704
I'm collecting all the bones of
our beloved saint as a good omen
14
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:50,215
to signal to the Mercian people that I
shall restore their lands to greatness.
15
00:00:50,317 --> 00:00:54,186
[Uhtred] He has sent holy men
there to bargain for an ancient relic.
16
00:00:55,322 --> 00:00:58,156
I have also sought out
the help of a Christian.
17
00:00:58,225 --> 00:00:59,591
Hello, Father.
18
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:05,325
My son, who was taken by Alfred
and raised with a devout faith.
19
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,028
The Mercian commander Eardwulf
20
00:01:08,101 --> 00:01:11,538
has traveled to East
Anglia to meet with Haesten.
21
00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:12,903
Did you see them leave?
22
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:15,874
Yes. They're dismantling their
camp and packing their boats.
23
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:20,039
[Uhtred] And now Aethelred
looks to conquer Daneland
24
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:22,082
as well as Eardwulf's sister.
25
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:27,753
The feelings that Aethelflaed
and I have always held
26
00:01:27,854 --> 00:01:29,345
can no longer be contained.
27
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:34,386
But for now, my duty draws
me to the north once again.
28
00:01:35,062 --> 00:01:36,724
To Bebbanburg!
29
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:39,263
Destiny is all!
30
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:44,229
[wind howls]
31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,074
-== [ www.OpenSubtitles.org ] ==-
32
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:03,984
Rán can be a vixen.
33
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:07,159
This should settle her.
34
00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:11,258
Rán is pagan lies. I
pity you for believing it.
35
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:14,597
- Finan, give him something to do.
- [Finan] Yes, Lord!
36
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,734
[groans] Oh, God. Whoa.
37
00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:21,668
Hey! You can empty this.
38
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:24,939
[men laughing]
39
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:29,112
[laughs]
40
00:02:29,182 --> 00:02:30,309
Tell me the truth.
41
00:02:31,618 --> 00:02:33,951
- Am I the bait?
- For what?
42
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:36,453
In the plan you
are hiding from me.
43
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:40,187
- Am I the bait?
- Nothing is hidden from you.
44
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:42,990
We are tracking monks who
have entry to Bebbanburg.
45
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:48,027
You will befriend them, enter
Bebbanburg and open the sea gate to us.
46
00:02:48,135 --> 00:02:51,663
I think you have another reason
for dragging me into your revenge.
47
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:54,799
Yes, so you may win
honor and reputation.
48
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:57,936
The only reputation that
matters is my standing with God.
49
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,941
You cannot force a
boy to be a warrior.
50
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:05,645
My blood runs within his
veins. Why can he not see that?
51
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:08,211
Because your blood is
that of a stubborn bastard!
52
00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:13,824
- Our Father...
- Who do you pray for, boy?
53
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:18,331
- Hm?
- The men you will slaughter.
54
00:03:20,067 --> 00:03:22,332
You seem to take things
when you want them.
55
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:25,505
When you do, show mercy.
56
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:30,041
To my Uncle Aelfric, who
spent a lifetime wishing me dead?
57
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:33,045
- There is a power in forgiveness.
- Good.
58
00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:38,212
Then you may
use it to forgive me.
59
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:51,063
He continues to sign
himself King of Mercia,
60
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:53,656
and now we hear he leads
troops out of Aegelesburg.
61
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,726
Aethelred has always
been ambitious.
62
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:59,068
- Do you know where he's gone?
- My husband doesn't inform me of anything.
63
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:02,566
I know he is seeking
the bones of St. Oswald.
64
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,775
Edward, that is grave.
65
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:10,249
If he is seeking St. Oswald, he
is seeking to break from Wessex.
66
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:16,254
Many Mercians believe that
uniting the body of the saint
67
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:18,723
will restore their
land to greatness.
68
00:04:18,792 --> 00:04:21,193
Yes, but the people
want peace, not war.
69
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:24,060
Still, it is a signal
of intention.
70
00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:27,295
Or a ploy to pander to
the simple folk of Mercia.
71
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,097
The people of
Mercia are not simple.
72
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:34,298
Well, whatever
it is he is doing...
73
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:36,904
do not allow yourself
to be drawn in.
74
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:39,378
The weak should not
be allowed to set terms.
75
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:42,041
If you do not play,
he cannot win.
76
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,449
Leave childishness
to the little children.
77
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:49,922
Ah. Here he is, the
future King of all the realm.
78
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:52,289
- [Aelfweard laughs]
- See how nimble he is!
79
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,788
That's a great
swordsman in the making!
80
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:56,987
Yes, indeed. [clears throat]
81
00:04:57,097 --> 00:04:58,622
- Lady.
- Lord.
82
00:04:58,732 --> 00:05:02,635
Yes, and he is a child
of great authority, too.
83
00:05:03,103 --> 00:05:06,505
You should have seen the way he kicked
Steapa to make his displeasure known.
84
00:05:06,606 --> 00:05:07,665
[Steapa chuckles]
85
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:09,242
A boy of many talents.
86
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,802
[Edward sighs]
87
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,504
Come with me.
88
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:17,607
I want to show you a
book of your grandfather's.
89
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:20,313
Do not pester
the boy with Latin.
90
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:23,254
[Aethelhelm] He is to
be a king, not a clerk.
91
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:26,088
The men of Wessex are fighters.
92
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:29,622
Rule the sword
and rule the land.
93
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:37,498
He digs away at
all that is precious.
94
00:05:37,971 --> 00:05:39,371
Yes, it is troubling...
95
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:42,665
as are my husband's intentions.
96
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,976
I will ask Aldhelm
to make inquiries.
97
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:52,342
Father Pyrlig?
98
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:56,616
Bring Father Beocca to me.
99
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,155
I was a little
unjust with him...
100
00:05:59,226 --> 00:06:02,060
and wish to ask his
advice on a certain person.
101
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:04,996
Father Beocca has
left Winchester, Lady.
102
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:09,298
He felt there was nothing left here
for him. I doubt he will ever return.
103
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,235
And so our allies abandon us.
104
00:06:11,338 --> 00:06:14,240
Lady, you asked for
him to be removed.
105
00:06:15,575 --> 00:06:16,634
Yes.
106
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:19,009
Yes, I suppose I did.
107
00:06:19,512 --> 00:06:23,040
Just as I asked my son to be
married to that vain, silly girl.
108
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:27,019
Why the Lord guided me
this way, I cannot fathom.
109
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:28,917
Maybe the Lord didn't.
110
00:06:30,724 --> 00:06:35,924
Any path I chose was to secure
the country my husband loved.
111
00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:38,187
And how well did
that work, Lady?
112
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,156
[villagers murmuring]
113
00:07:42,262 --> 00:07:44,788
A pathetic hoard, most
of them drunk or senile.
114
00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:46,628
The Scots will laugh.
115
00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:49,931
I cannot hold them off with
this! We need more warriors.
116
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:52,734
- I have been trying, Lord.
- [Aelfric scoffs]
117
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,970
The slaver can get us trained
men, but he wants 10,000.
118
00:07:56,076 --> 00:08:00,241
Ten thousand would empty the treasury.
What good is a fortress without silver?
119
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,942
Lord, we must sell the
heart of Saint Oswald.
120
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:05,677
Time is moving against us.
121
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,788
We can only sustain these
attacks from the Scots for so long.
122
00:08:11,458 --> 00:08:14,587
He's desperate for
it, you say, Aethelred?
123
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,653
This is what I have heard.
124
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:20,256
[Aidan] The monks he
dispatched will arrive here soon.
125
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:30,638
Then we shall bleed silver
from him and buy the men.
126
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,744
So, where do we start?
127
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:12,648
Where do you look for
monks in a place like this?
128
00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:15,546
- St. Colman's?
- The whorehouse!
129
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,715
[all laughing]
130
00:09:17,824 --> 00:09:20,157
That's it. I'm
staying on the boat.
131
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:23,560
It's not safe for you to be
alone this deep within Danelaw.
132
00:09:24,197 --> 00:09:26,564
- Come.
- Then I will pray for salvation.
133
00:09:26,666 --> 00:09:28,532
I will stay with him,
keep us both safe.
134
00:09:28,601 --> 00:09:31,264
- They do not love a priest in Grimesby.
- Thank you, Father.
135
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:33,772
To the whorehouse then!
136
00:09:36,443 --> 00:09:38,503
[Beocca] You misjudge
your father, you know.
137
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,548
He's not the bloodthirsty
heathen you take him for.
138
00:09:41,614 --> 00:09:44,174
Thou shalt not
kill, Father Beocca.
139
00:09:45,051 --> 00:09:48,249
- Or are you rusty on the scripture?
- I know the teaching.
140
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:50,856
But I also know Aelfric.
141
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,121
And having some years
on you, I also know...
142
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,898
that sometimes one
must do wrong to do right.
143
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,201
Aelfric tried to kill a child
for no gain but wooden walls.
144
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:08,633
And for that, he wrenched
a boy from his Christian life...
145
00:10:09,275 --> 00:10:12,404
delivered him to the heathens
and damned his soul to all eternity.
146
00:10:13,379 --> 00:10:16,213
Uhtred is avenging a
great wrong done to him.
147
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:21,252
Help him in his mission
and you will be helping...
148
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:23,620
Helping him return to
a life of Christian piety?
149
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:26,384
No.
150
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:29,160
- Not that, but...
- There is a chance.
151
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:31,988
All sinners can repent.
152
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,099
Well, we shall see.
153
00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:41,305
Come on.
154
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:47,644
[door thuds]
155
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:50,683
[murmuring]
156
00:10:50,783 --> 00:10:53,309
Grimesby seems
like a lovely place.
157
00:10:53,419 --> 00:10:55,945
- I hear the oysters are delicious.
- Hm.
158
00:10:58,291 --> 00:11:00,419
[the inn falls silent]
159
00:11:03,429 --> 00:11:06,763
Sihtric, don't make eye contact.
160
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:10,364
- What's your business here?
- We're traders.
161
00:11:11,304 --> 00:11:12,966
We're taking pelts to Frankia.
162
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:14,507
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
163
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:16,452
Well, you keep trouble
out of my alehouse, agreed?
164
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:19,844
Hey, we're just hungry for
some food, nothing more.
165
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:22,814
And do you have women?
He needs a woman.
166
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:24,646
We're not that sort of alehouse.
167
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,543
Finan.
168
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:32,686
[grunting]
169
00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:34,226
She's yours until nightfall.
170
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,493
If you're quick, you
can both get a turn.
171
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:40,163
He'll certainly be quick.
172
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:41,701
[man grunting, woman groans]
173
00:11:41,801 --> 00:11:43,827
[tavern owner chuckles]
174
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:48,203
[Osferth] Hey, why do I always
have to pretend to be the virgin?
175
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:50,971
[Uhtred] Because no one
would believe I am the virgin.
176
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:52,512
[man groans]
177
00:11:52,579 --> 00:11:55,174
- [whipping]
- [Oswi] Harder, like your sister does it.
178
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:57,410
- [woman grunts]
- [groaning]
179
00:11:57,517 --> 00:11:58,678
[Brother Oswi] Hit it.
180
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:03,251
- [woman grunts]
- [groaning]
181
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:06,815
- Lead me out to the darkness, Lord.
- [woman grunts]
182
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:08,691
And let this sin...
183
00:12:08,761 --> 00:12:12,994
- I'm a virgin in that, Lord.
- [Uhtred] I'm sure you are, Osferth.
184
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,228
We've found our monks.
185
00:12:15,835 --> 00:12:18,168
Oi, watching costs extra.
186
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,336
[Oswi] Harder!
187
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:35,849
Traveling overnight, all that way
in the saddle with a red raw ass,
188
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:37,720
a good thing they like pain!
189
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:40,783
It takes six days to get to
Bebbanburg on the coast road.
190
00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:42,725
[Finan] They'll get
there before Ascension.
191
00:12:44,464 --> 00:12:46,092
I'm a good Christian boy, Lord.
192
00:12:47,033 --> 00:12:48,467
You should not
arrive before them.
193
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:51,367
The rocks around Bebbanburg
do not treat ships kindly.
194
00:12:52,972 --> 00:12:55,703
So, we wait here and
enjoy the atmosphere?
195
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:59,271
[men murmuring]
196
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:08,581
Uhtred, see these two monks? They're
the ones we've been searching for.
197
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:10,986
They're leaving for
Bebbanburg. Follow them.
198
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:13,491
It's our strongest chance
of getting into the fortress.
199
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:16,986
- I can't simply follow...
- If there were, I would not ask.
200
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:20,066
My men have been there
recently. They would be recognized.
201
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,613
- So, I am the sacrificial lamb...
- You are our greatest hope.
202
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:24,468
Do not do this for me.
203
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,472
Do it for your descendants.
Whatever I take will one day be yours.
204
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:29,474
I'm not the warrior you
seem to mistake me for.
205
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,309
Why do you have
this faith in me?
206
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:38,115
Because I know that the
spirit of our family is within you.
207
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:41,450
[Uhtred] That will give you a
strength that you do not know yet.
208
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:52,861
I will try and do as you
need, but I will not kill a man.
209
00:13:52,965 --> 00:13:54,263
That is all I want.
210
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:57,000
Three pieces of silver
says he runs home.
211
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:03,106
- [Uhtred] Take this horse.
- [Beocca] Uhtred.
212
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:06,009
Ride the road north,
close to the shore.
213
00:14:06,112 --> 00:14:08,308
Leave now, so you can
be ahead of the monks.
214
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:10,213
Find them. Join them.
215
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:18,482
- [Finan] Lord!
- I would not send you to be slaughtered.
216
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:21,824
When I see you signal, I
will approach the sea gate.
217
00:14:26,232 --> 00:14:27,564
He'll be looked after.
218
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:30,398
He's blessed, as are you.
219
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:31,583
[Finan] All right, come on.
220
00:14:32,505 --> 00:14:33,529
Uhtred.
221
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:34,663
[men murmuring]
222
00:15:06,272 --> 00:15:07,535
[Aethelred] Try it on.
223
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:11,677
I will, when you leave.
224
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,906
No. I had it made for you.
225
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:15,208
I want to see it now.
226
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:18,080
Lord, I will not
undress before you.
227
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:22,553
- I am a woman from a noble family.
- Whose father disgraced...
228
00:15:22,622 --> 00:15:24,422
Whose father was unfairly
shamed for no reason
229
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:26,459
other than falling from
the Ealdormen's favor.
230
00:15:27,193 --> 00:15:28,889
Lady, enough of this game.
231
00:15:30,797 --> 00:15:32,732
You have no good
reason to deny me.
232
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,598
I act simply for the
good of your soul.
233
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:39,467
You have a wife.
234
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:48,140
You are right.
235
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:50,443
I see that now.
236
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:56,651
I should make myself a
widower and marry you.
237
00:15:58,825 --> 00:16:00,293
Is that not what you want?
238
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,657
Along with all of
these silks and furs.
239
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:07,589
Just... a good life...
240
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:09,929
for a girl who has nothing.
241
00:16:12,438 --> 00:16:13,770
Am I being very unfair?
242
00:16:15,575 --> 00:16:17,976
Have I misjudged
your Christian soul?
243
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:26,476
It can all be arranged.
244
00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:00,351
- Did you do the deed?
- No.
245
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,846
Drag it out much
longer, he'll lose interest.
246
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:05,356
How wrong you are.
He's not losing interest.
247
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:07,378
He's threatening to have
Lady Aethelflaed killed,
248
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:08,519
so that he may marry me.
249
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:10,324
That is good news!
250
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:14,128
No, it is not! I would have the blood
of Alfred's daughter on my hands.
251
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,377
It seems like a fair exchange.
252
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:17,461
Married to a man who kills
those who displease him?
253
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:20,803
- Again, it seems like...
- He is volatile and we must be careful.
254
00:17:21,307 --> 00:17:25,745
Promise me, if he asks you to
attack Lady Aethelflaed, you will refuse.
255
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:31,074
I will never defy the
wishes of King Aethelred.
256
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:32,875
And nor should you.
257
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:47,833
We will rest here
and attack at first light.
258
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:50,560
Catch the Mercians
sleeping in their beds.
259
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,195
How far is Aegelesburg?
260
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:56,373
- Close enough to surprise them.
- Then this is where I say goodbye.
261
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:01,681
[Brida] We camp here
tonight, march at dawn!
262
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:04,080
[Cnut] You are certain we
cannot tempt you to battle?
263
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:07,517
I have no interest in fighting,
only women and silver.
264
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:09,613
Because you have to
pay women to hump them?
265
00:18:09,722 --> 00:18:11,918
Better than reeling
them in with lies.
266
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,790
Fair. But everything I did
allowed the Danes to triumph.
267
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:18,592
You will miss a great
gathering of armies, Haesten.
268
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:22,702
Edward is honor-bound to defend
the land of his sister and mother.
269
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:25,966
Aethelred's death will
force swift retaliation.
270
00:18:26,072 --> 00:18:27,973
[Cnut] We will ride
into Mercia in a fury
271
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:30,976
and will force them to a battle
place where we have the advantage.
272
00:18:31,077 --> 00:18:34,946
Wessex, Mercians,
all Christians.
273
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:37,246
This will bring them together.
274
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:39,478
Then you will have
united the Saxons.
275
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,577
Alfred would be very proud.
276
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:43,316
Cnut! Let's go.
277
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:45,614
Boys, come here.
278
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:50,795
I want you to go with
our friend Haesten.
279
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:55,396
He will take you north
until our campaign is over.
280
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:58,336
Should they not witness the
battle? I know it's dangerous but...
281
00:18:58,437 --> 00:19:01,339
There will be battles to come.
Today, they are too young.
282
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:07,608
Haesten, attend to them and
teach them nothing you know.
283
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,479
- [chuckles]
- [Cnut] Come, boys, let's get you ready.
284
00:19:11,317 --> 00:19:13,343
The shit loves his offspring.
285
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,746
How did he draw you to him?
286
00:19:16,689 --> 00:19:18,282
We made a bond in blood.
287
00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:21,088
If you ever get bored
of the ugly bastard...
288
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:25,030
you know, I have
fathered ten children.
289
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:28,758
- That is of no use to me.
- [chuckles] No?
290
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:31,596
No...
291
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:35,972
because you carry his pup!
292
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:39,535
[laughs]
293
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:41,671
I can tell by the tits.
294
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:49,145
If you tell him this
before I fight the Saxons...
295
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:52,682
I will cut off your balls
and feed them to you.
296
00:19:52,792 --> 00:19:54,488
I'm overjoyed for you, Brida.
297
00:19:55,361 --> 00:19:57,694
The world needs
more little Cnuts.
298
00:19:57,797 --> 00:19:58,821
[Cnut] Brida!
299
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:00,127
- Hm?
- [Cnut] Come.
300
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:06,567
[Cnut] Rest tonight. Prepare yourselves.
There will be many sleepless nights ahead!
301
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:11,701
But, at daybreak, we shall
strike and blood will run!
302
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:13,871
Mercia will burn!
303
00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:16,005
[all cheering]
304
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,550
[soldiers yelling]
305
00:20:23,656 --> 00:20:25,818
[villagers screaming]
306
00:20:27,526 --> 00:20:28,550
[woman screams]
307
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:31,596
Bring me Aethelred!
308
00:20:31,697 --> 00:20:33,029
[woman screaming]
309
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:34,863
[shouting and yelling]
310
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:36,527
[yelling]
311
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:40,872
[shouting]
312
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,772
[screaming]
313
00:20:45,778 --> 00:20:47,212
Where is he?
314
00:20:52,351 --> 00:20:53,717
[Jackdaw] Where's your Lord?
315
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:55,614
Where's your Lord?
316
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:59,124
[shouting]
317
00:21:01,093 --> 00:21:02,220
Next!
318
00:21:02,862 --> 00:21:04,057
[screams]
319
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:08,795
Are there any more?
320
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:17,369
Could they be mercenaries...
come to help defend us?
321
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:19,241
A donation from the slaver?
322
00:21:19,745 --> 00:21:23,147
Offering reinforcements from
the goodness of his heart?
323
00:21:23,249 --> 00:21:25,718
Well, perhaps
they will turn away.
324
00:21:26,418 --> 00:21:29,786
Or they are Scots,
returning for a fight.
325
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:34,093
There is one choice,
though it sickens me to say it.
326
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:37,162
Pay them to go away.
327
00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:39,391
So they can return again
and we pay them more?
328
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:41,730
Why not just beg them
to make us their vassals?
329
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:43,667
I did not say it
was a good choice.
330
00:21:43,769 --> 00:21:44,930
[inhales sharply]
331
00:21:47,173 --> 00:21:49,165
Send men out to speak with them.
332
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:51,141
If they return with
heads on their shoulders,
333
00:21:51,243 --> 00:21:53,178
we know that the
Scots might negotiate.
334
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:57,080
I shall go myself. I am sick
of sending men to slaughter.
335
00:21:58,784 --> 00:22:01,151
Which is why you
will never lead, Aidan.
336
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:22,934
Open the gate.
337
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:55,038
Alert Lord Aelfric.
338
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:57,236
He'll want to see this.
339
00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:03,474
[whispers]
340
00:23:33,178 --> 00:23:34,908
We heard you were drowned.
341
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:37,779
We were assured. They
said there was no hope.
342
00:23:38,684 --> 00:23:40,209
I nearly did drown, Father.
343
00:23:42,221 --> 00:23:46,056
I believed it was my
punishment for sending you away.
344
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,287
No punishment.
345
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:52,061
Just a moment to learn
how much I wanted to live...
346
00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:54,695
and return to you
and Bebbanburg.
347
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,236
I thought my legacy
was lost forever.
348
00:23:58,137 --> 00:24:00,402
I assure you, your
descendants will thrive.
349
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,803
When I got word you were
under attack, I seized the moment.
350
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:05,571
I've brought warriors...
351
00:24:06,578 --> 00:24:09,275
men I've collected from every
corner of the known world.
352
00:24:10,115 --> 00:24:12,448
Strong men, loyal men.
353
00:24:17,723 --> 00:24:19,282
Bebbanburg is saved.
354
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:32,900
[Beocca] As magnificent
as ever it was.
355
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:36,500
Indeed... if it is real
and not a dream.
356
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:39,468
It is real enough.
357
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,278
- We need get no closer at this point.
- Lord!
358
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:46,747
Drop the sail!
359
00:24:47,453 --> 00:24:50,651
Row inland and keep
under the shadow of the cliff.
360
00:24:55,594 --> 00:24:57,825
How long do we wait for
your son to send a sign?
361
00:24:58,263 --> 00:24:59,356
Until it comes.
362
00:25:02,301 --> 00:25:04,600
It is all the will
of the gods now.
363
00:25:22,955 --> 00:25:25,186
[Aethelflaed] Is this some
plan to become a saint?
364
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:29,125
It is preparation for
the royal consecration.
365
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:31,686
[Aelswith] Becoming
Queen is a now a holy rite?
366
00:25:31,797 --> 00:25:33,037
[Aethelflaed] The insult of it.
367
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:36,330
I take it this was also
Lord Aethelhelm's idea.
368
00:25:36,402 --> 00:25:40,533
Yes. He is quiet, but his
ambitions for his family grow.
369
00:25:41,673 --> 00:25:44,734
He obsesses over the
aetheling and pushes me aside.
370
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:47,141
Had I known what
sort of man he was,
371
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,681
I would've selected a
different bride for your brother.
372
00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:51,514
What does the King say?
373
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:53,552
Edward cherishes peace...
374
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:56,488
both within Wessex
and within the palace.
375
00:25:58,057 --> 00:26:01,425
So, I must accept when
I am no longer wanted.
376
00:26:06,732 --> 00:26:08,894
She feels my father's loss.
377
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:10,562
As do we all.
378
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:20,710
I would like 17
candles lit on my behalf.
379
00:26:21,346 --> 00:26:24,783
One at each shrine and
no mumbling in the prayers.
380
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:27,580
The Lord wants to
hear your full hearts.
381
00:26:29,555 --> 00:26:31,114
Seventeen?
382
00:26:31,223 --> 00:26:33,021
Is something on your
conscience, Lady?
383
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:37,427
Many things. I fear I've allowed
too much to change in the palace.
384
00:26:38,397 --> 00:26:42,266
Tell me, the young
Centish lady, Ecgwynn...
385
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:44,893
The girl who married
your son in secret?
386
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:46,764
Yes.
387
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:49,704
What do you know of
her present situation?
388
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:54,913
She took holy orders, when her
marriage was forcibly annulled.
389
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:59,051
And, from what I've
heard, she's very unhappy.
390
00:26:59,718 --> 00:27:03,553
Well, the cloistered life
may not suit a simple girl.
391
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:06,717
She was forbidden from seeing
the two children she bore your son.
392
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,788
Her daughter she sees
occasionally, but her son...
393
00:27:10,596 --> 00:27:13,088
she's not looked on since
he was taken from her arms.
394
00:27:14,666 --> 00:27:17,431
That seems a cruel punishment.
395
00:27:17,503 --> 00:27:21,406
For the crime of loving Edward
and Edward loving her, yes.
396
00:27:23,342 --> 00:27:27,006
You and Beocca are right to
question my mistreatment of her.
397
00:27:27,112 --> 00:27:30,139
I would like to make
amends, in a small way.
398
00:27:32,918 --> 00:27:35,979
- Where is her son now?
- He lives in a monastery.
399
00:27:36,855 --> 00:27:38,483
So, he has a love of God...
400
00:27:39,424 --> 00:27:40,790
but not that of a mother.
401
00:27:42,161 --> 00:27:44,357
An agony I would not
want for my own son.
402
00:27:49,034 --> 00:27:51,503
- I would like to see them both.
- I can have it arranged.
403
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:55,040
I am presuming you do not
want anyone else to know.
404
00:27:56,475 --> 00:27:58,307
It would put the boy in danger.
405
00:27:59,378 --> 00:28:00,505
We both know that.
406
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:19,397
[Danish warriors
shouting insults]
407
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:20,864
[groans]
408
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:29,198
[villager groaning]
409
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:32,368
Send scouts to look
for a battle place.
410
00:28:32,477 --> 00:28:35,379
Make sure the grain stores are
emptied and no food remains.
411
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,042
Gut this palace before
the other Saxons retaliate!
412
00:28:44,423 --> 00:28:47,416
- [Cnut] Did you see the Ealdormen?
- I did.
413
00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:48,858
[both chuckle]
414
00:28:48,927 --> 00:28:52,329
You're inventive in your cruelty.
Have you found Aethelred?
415
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:54,696
Not yet. I'm just
enjoying his bed.
416
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:57,093
Would you like to join me?
417
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:15,713
[both grunting]
418
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:40,742
[Aelswith clears throat]
419
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:46,942
What are you reading, child?
420
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:55,117
You are Aethelstan, are you not?
421
00:29:56,161 --> 00:29:57,629
Yes.
422
00:29:57,729 --> 00:30:01,222
Who are your family, Aethelstan?
423
00:30:02,501 --> 00:30:04,595
I've been told
not to answer that.
424
00:30:05,837 --> 00:30:09,399
Indeed. That is probably wise.
425
00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:12,339
Are you an abbess, Lady?
426
00:30:12,444 --> 00:30:16,677
No. I am... a friend.
427
00:30:17,316 --> 00:30:22,118
Though many great abbesses feel I
could have been one of their number.
428
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:27,322
[clears throat]
429
00:30:27,426 --> 00:30:29,793
Come with me, Aethelstan.
430
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:41,930
A lady wants to meet you.
431
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,311
Go to the garden.
432
00:31:40,499 --> 00:31:41,990
[monks chattering indistinctly]
433
00:31:51,343 --> 00:31:54,507
- Oh, Lord help us! It is a beggar.
- Don't look at him. Ignore him.
434
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:57,344
[Brother Iestyn] I cannot.
He's heading straight for us.
435
00:31:58,049 --> 00:31:59,073
Travelers!
436
00:31:59,184 --> 00:32:00,675
[both monks sigh]
437
00:32:00,752 --> 00:32:02,220
He looks insane!
438
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:03,346
Be wary!
439
00:32:04,956 --> 00:32:06,049
Ignore him.
440
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,124
Travelers, this road is
full of murderous thieves!
441
00:32:10,896 --> 00:32:15,231
- Be careful, my brothers in Christ!
- Why do you call us brothers, madman?
442
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,430
- Because I am one of your number.
- You look a beggar.
443
00:32:18,537 --> 00:32:22,531
No! I am a deacon, cruelly
kidnapped from his church.
444
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:25,441
A boy whose mind is
spent and life is ebbing!
445
00:32:25,544 --> 00:32:26,637
[monks chuckling]
446
00:32:26,745 --> 00:32:29,214
- Let me ride with you.
- We should move on.
447
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:32,308
In the name of the Virgin,
there are bandits on this road!
448
00:32:32,417 --> 00:32:35,478
Abandon me and I shall
perish and lie here unburied!
449
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,078
[sighs] Come on.
450
00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:40,319
Please, did Christ
not pity the leper?
451
00:32:40,425 --> 00:32:41,620
[both sigh]
452
00:32:41,726 --> 00:32:43,888
[both chuckling]
453
00:32:44,563 --> 00:32:47,897
Please, brothers. I know
about your sins in Grimesby.
454
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:51,967
Don't let me speak
of it to your abbot.
455
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:53,265
[scoffs]
456
00:32:54,673 --> 00:32:55,766
What do you want?
457
00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:59,744
Nothing but traveling companions.
I swear to it, I mean you no harm.
458
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:02,303
- Are you any good in a fight?
- No.
459
00:33:02,414 --> 00:33:05,851
- Good, they can kill you while we escape.
- [Brother Oswi chuckles]
460
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:21,360
[door opens]
461
00:33:40,285 --> 00:33:42,550
Are you the kind soul
who arranged this meeting?
462
00:33:44,222 --> 00:33:45,281
I am.
463
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:48,123
Do I know you, madam?
464
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:53,222
Content yourself with knowing that I
am a mother who feels for your plight.
465
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:58,164
Then I thank you. To see him
even briefly heals a wounded heart...
466
00:33:59,638 --> 00:34:00,833
for both of us.
467
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:03,134
You have shown us a great mercy.
468
00:34:04,643 --> 00:34:05,804
Tell me...
469
00:34:07,312 --> 00:34:09,747
am I still out of favor
to the Lady Aelswith?
470
00:34:12,183 --> 00:34:15,244
Lady Aelswith disfavored no one.
471
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:18,680
She simply chose what
was best for her son...
472
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:21,223
as you will want
the best for yours.
473
00:34:21,326 --> 00:34:23,727
What is best for my
son is what he once had,
474
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,763
a mother and a father
living in happiness.
475
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:31,060
Perhaps. What is done is done.
476
00:34:31,169 --> 00:34:36,267
But yes, it would be foolish for him to
be raised without a woman's nurture.
477
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:39,003
Men raised by men turn savage.
478
00:34:39,878 --> 00:34:43,576
So we must ensure there is
always a lady to guide him...
479
00:34:44,749 --> 00:34:48,686
when he is permanently moved
to somewhere more secure.
480
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:50,221
Why must he be moved?
481
00:34:51,957 --> 00:34:56,190
There is concern that he
could be in danger in Wessex.
482
00:34:57,128 --> 00:34:59,893
But rest assured, he
will be well-protected.
483
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:04,767
But I am afraid you will
not be able to visit again.
484
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:13,204
Why am I being punished?
485
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:16,605
Did I deserve this cruelty?
486
00:35:17,649 --> 00:35:19,641
Did I hurt someone
as I am now hurt?
487
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:21,643
Did he?
488
00:35:23,321 --> 00:35:25,756
All I wanted was a
husband and family!
489
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:29,055
To be with the one I loved
in a quiet place to call home.
490
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:35,260
Then you would have been unsuited to
life in the palace at Winchester, Ecgwynn.
491
00:35:37,102 --> 00:35:39,503
Which is why this
has all come to pass.
492
00:36:09,701 --> 00:36:12,102
- Stop staring at me.
- I'm not staring.
493
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:13,331
Mm-hm.
494
00:36:13,438 --> 00:36:17,341
I'm admiring your appetite.
Does death make you hungry?
495
00:36:17,442 --> 00:36:18,842
[door opens]
496
00:36:22,947 --> 00:36:25,109
- Have they found Aethelred?
- Yes.
497
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:29,211
Good. And where has that
little turd hidden himself?
498
00:36:30,155 --> 00:36:33,319
He's in East Anglia. He
has attacked farms there
499
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:35,451
and many Danish
settlers were killed.
500
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,894
There is no way
that fool outwitted us.
501
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:39,464
It sickens me to say he has.
502
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,363
No...
503
00:36:44,969 --> 00:36:47,165
This was not his
doing, but ours.
504
00:36:47,238 --> 00:36:50,140
He thought we were in Irland,
that there would be no reprisals!
505
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,143
We have let this happen, Cnut!
506
00:36:53,344 --> 00:36:55,040
Then we must prevail now.
507
00:36:57,182 --> 00:37:00,380
[Cnut] Farmers and their families
die in war. It's just the way of things.
508
00:37:02,921 --> 00:37:05,755
Danish settlers,
Saxon children...
509
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:08,587
they pay the price.
510
00:37:09,194 --> 00:37:11,857
Besides, if Aethelred has
left his people undefended,
511
00:37:11,930 --> 00:37:15,924
they will be easier to slaughter, and
slaughter will bring Edward sooner.
512
00:37:16,034 --> 00:37:20,165
[choir singing]
513
00:37:45,697 --> 00:37:51,432
[whispers indistinctly]
514
00:38:03,047 --> 00:38:07,485
[whispers indistinctly]
515
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:26,762
I knew it! I said this! I said
Cnut was trying to trick us!
516
00:38:26,838 --> 00:38:30,070
- What of Lord Aethelred? Is he dead?
- I will try to find out.
517
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:33,134
[Aelswith] Call off the coronation.
Send men to Aegelesburg to retake it.
518
00:38:33,244 --> 00:38:35,736
[Aethelhelm] No, do not
call off the ceremony...
519
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:37,758
[Aldhelm] You cannot leave
the Mercians to their doom.
520
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:40,342
[Aethelhelm] By the sounds
of things, we're too late.
521
00:38:40,451 --> 00:38:42,352
[Aethelflaed] Send
men... you must!
522
00:38:42,453 --> 00:38:46,481
What they did to humiliate the
Ealdormen, Lord King! It must be avenged!
523
00:38:46,591 --> 00:38:49,584
- Lord King...
- They are men of honor, men of my blood!
524
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:51,994
[Aethelhelm] We
should not act in haste.
525
00:38:52,096 --> 00:38:56,431
- [Aldhelm] Maybe Aethelred's right...
- Edward, you must not delay.
526
00:38:56,501 --> 00:38:57,696
Enough!
527
00:38:58,536 --> 00:39:01,631
I will decide how to respond
to this affront and when!
528
00:39:02,774 --> 00:39:06,438
Not you, nor you, nor
you will set the terms.
529
00:39:09,614 --> 00:39:11,606
And certainly not Cnut.
530
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:31,560
[choir singing]
531
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:57,927
[grunts]
532
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:02,360
Hard to tell!
533
00:40:03,701 --> 00:40:05,693
Maybe 40 helmets!
534
00:40:05,770 --> 00:40:09,901
He has put all his men on the
ramparts to make it look like he has more.
535
00:40:10,375 --> 00:40:13,345
- He was always a cunning one.
- Still two against one.
536
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:17,371
- We're twice as good.
- Yeah, keep saying it, it becomes true.
537
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:19,342
[both groan]
538
00:40:20,118 --> 00:40:23,088
We don't need to slaughter
'em all, just hold 'em off.
539
00:40:23,955 --> 00:40:26,686
Lord, the real fight will
be you against Aelfric.
540
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:35,359
Tell me, Beocca...
541
00:40:37,802 --> 00:40:39,293
is it the right time?
542
00:40:39,938 --> 00:40:41,634
I'm not leading men to defeat?
543
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,302
You are not leading
men to defeat.
544
00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:47,804
The fight will be
furious. Men will fall.
545
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:50,279
But I would not encourage
you, if I thought you would lose.
546
00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:53,741
Feel the air here, Uhtred.
547
00:40:54,786 --> 00:40:56,379
Feel its cold breath.
548
00:40:57,822 --> 00:40:59,950
This is the air that you
and I were born to breathe.
549
00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:02,491
We're meant to be here.
550
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:06,089
Let us see if my
blood runs thick...
551
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:08,932
if the signal comes.
552
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:18,105
- [Iestyn] Do you know what that is?
- It's a fort.
553
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:21,339
Beating heart of this
land they called Bernicia.
554
00:41:22,447 --> 00:41:23,506
Bebbanburg.
555
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:28,520
The lord who resides here is
volatile, so be on your guard.
556
00:41:30,355 --> 00:41:33,757
- What if he does not welcome us?
- Then we will not be welcomed home.
557
00:41:34,625 --> 00:41:38,960
And we will be forced to sail to Frisia
to sell your backside in return for food.
558
00:41:54,045 --> 00:41:55,536
It is only monks, Lord.
559
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,484
Aethelred's errand boys.
560
00:42:00,118 --> 00:42:03,054
Let's see how desperate
they are for my holy treasures.
561
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:09,888
Greetings to Lord
Aelfric of Bebbanburg.
562
00:42:10,695 --> 00:42:12,027
I am Brother Iestyn.
563
00:42:12,130 --> 00:42:16,192
We are sent by Aethelred
of Mercia to make a trade.
564
00:42:16,801 --> 00:42:18,963
[Aelfric] Um, you can turn back.
565
00:42:20,071 --> 00:42:23,667
I've decided I cannot bear to
part with so dear a treasure.
566
00:42:25,676 --> 00:42:28,236
Lord Aethelred will
offer a good price.
567
00:42:28,346 --> 00:42:32,374
I put no price on holy
relics, nor should you.
568
00:42:33,051 --> 00:42:37,682
The legacy of my forebears
cannot be measured in silver.
569
00:42:37,755 --> 00:42:41,089
Then might we at least
rest the night here, Lord?
570
00:42:41,192 --> 00:42:43,058
The road has been long.
571
00:42:43,661 --> 00:42:46,062
Perhaps we could
discuss the trade.
572
00:42:46,164 --> 00:42:47,689
We are not a lodging house!
573
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:52,203
Your master has sent
you on a pointless errand.
574
00:42:52,937 --> 00:42:56,601
[Aelfric] If Aethelred wishes to
reunite the relics of the beloved saint,
575
00:42:56,707 --> 00:42:59,404
he'll have to fight me
for them, sword to sword.
576
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:01,739
[exhales sharply]
577
00:43:02,547 --> 00:43:03,606
[Young Uhtred] Lord!
578
00:43:05,183 --> 00:43:09,086
I am but a young man, but
since my childhood, I have heard
579
00:43:09,187 --> 00:43:13,022
that Bebbanburg was the
greatest fortress in the north.
580
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:17,620
And that its true lord was a
man of honor and great reputation.
581
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:20,892
Well, who does not
take to a little flattery?
582
00:43:20,965 --> 00:43:22,228
[Young Uhtred] Please, Lord.
583
00:43:23,067 --> 00:43:26,526
I've traveled many
weeks just to admire it.
584
00:43:27,038 --> 00:43:29,769
Reject our plea to sell
us your riches, but...
585
00:43:31,309 --> 00:43:33,278
do not deny my boyhood dream.
586
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:43,551
Well, I am generous and a
loyal servant to the Church.
587
00:43:43,621 --> 00:43:44,884
So, um...
588
00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,055
you are welcome.
589
00:43:49,927 --> 00:43:51,589
Put them in the slave quarters.
590
00:44:07,678 --> 00:44:09,442
Stop looking impressed.
591
00:44:10,181 --> 00:44:11,945
You will push up the price.
592
00:44:25,696 --> 00:44:27,494
- Has he given the signal?
- Lord.
593
00:44:28,132 --> 00:44:29,191
Nothing.
594
00:44:33,871 --> 00:44:37,000
[the monks snore lightly]
595
00:45:17,481 --> 00:45:18,642
[gasps]
596
00:45:53,751 --> 00:45:55,049
Did you see that?
597
00:46:15,139 --> 00:46:16,471
There, look!
598
00:46:18,042 --> 00:46:19,237
It's the signal!
599
00:46:22,446 --> 00:46:24,381
- [Uhtred whistles]
- [Finan] Move your arses!
600
00:46:25,449 --> 00:46:27,247
[Uhtred] Follow
us along the rocks.
601
00:46:28,986 --> 00:46:31,455
The rest of you stay
here until I call for the ship.
602
00:46:48,406 --> 00:46:50,671
[guards speaking indistinctly]
603
00:46:52,410 --> 00:46:54,606
[waves crash]
604
00:46:58,115 --> 00:46:59,174
[groans]
605
00:47:27,111 --> 00:47:28,704
Which one do you want?
606
00:47:30,348 --> 00:47:31,372
That one.
607
00:47:33,017 --> 00:47:34,041
All yours.
608
00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:41,856
- [Uhtred and Finan yell]
- [guard] Halt!
609
00:47:41,959 --> 00:47:43,985
[swords clanging,
guards grunting]
610
00:47:48,799 --> 00:47:51,291
[thuds, guard screams]
611
00:48:03,347 --> 00:48:04,679
Do not move!
612
00:48:07,518 --> 00:48:08,577
Are you there?
613
00:48:12,923 --> 00:48:15,017
[whispers] Keep this way.
Backs against the wall.
614
00:48:16,093 --> 00:48:17,254
Are you there?
615
00:48:20,197 --> 00:48:21,392
What do we do, Lord?
616
00:48:21,499 --> 00:48:22,990
Do we lift the gate?
617
00:48:23,534 --> 00:48:26,436
- It's worth a try.
- Come on, lift it!
618
00:48:30,374 --> 00:48:33,071
[Finan] On my
count, one, two, three!
619
00:48:33,177 --> 00:48:34,941
[all groaning]
620
00:48:35,045 --> 00:48:37,742
[Finan] Come on!
Put your back into it!
621
00:48:37,848 --> 00:48:39,908
Finan, stop. It's too heavy.
622
00:48:40,017 --> 00:48:41,041
Move!
623
00:48:43,788 --> 00:48:46,121
This is a mistake. I was lost!
624
00:48:46,724 --> 00:48:49,523
- [Wihtgar] You were trying to steal away!
- I was not!
625
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:51,619
Why? Huh? Why?
626
00:48:54,632 --> 00:48:55,964
[all grunting]
627
00:48:56,066 --> 00:48:57,898

[panting]
629
00:48:59,603 --> 00:49:00,901
[Uhtred] Get me those oars.
630
00:49:03,908 --> 00:49:05,103
In there, Osferth.
631
00:49:07,578 --> 00:49:09,547
[groaning]
632
00:49:19,590 --> 00:49:20,785

00:49:32,136 --> 00:49:33,798
[Finan] Put your back into it!
636
00:49:33,904 --> 00:49:37,932
[Finan] Come on!
It's moving! Come on!
637
00:49:41,278 --> 00:49:42,769
[Finan] Can you
get under it, Lord?
638
00:49:49,186 --> 00:49:50,620
[wood creaking]
639
00:49:50,688 --> 00:49:52,020
A little more.
640

[all groaning]
641
00:49:54,592 --> 00:49:56,117

[all panting]
646
00:50:12,543 --> 00:50:13,875
Summon all to the yard.

[Young Uhtred pants]
648
00:50:15,479 --> 00:50:16,640
Get up!
649
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,181
Let them see how we
get thieves to tell the truth.
650

[pants]
651
00:50:24,788 --> 00:50:26,848
[Finan] Go on, Lord! [grunts]

[Finan] Come on!

00:50:29,193 --> 00:50:32,186

00:50:34,498 --> 00:50:36,490
[Finan] He's got it!
He's got it! He's got it!
656
00:50:38,135 --> 00:50:39,398
Yes! Yes!
657

[bell rings]

00:50:48,078 --> 00:50:51,515
- Is it a trap?
- Is it a trap we can fight our way out of?
660
00:50:57,755 --> 00:51:00,520
- [Wihtgar] Again, who...
- [groans]
661
00:51:00,591 --> 00:51:02,560
do you really...
662
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:04,060
serve?
663
00:51:04,995 --> 00:51:07,226
My flock and God himself!
664
00:51:07,331 --> 00:51:08,663
[Young Uhtred pants]
665
00:51:12,403 --> 00:51:15,601

[Young Uhtred gasps and pants]

00:51:30,220 --> 00:51:33,247
Must I kill another
before I get the truth?

00:51:38,429 --> 00:51:39,795
[Young Uhtred grunts]
671
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,896
Let the holy man go free.

He means you no harm!

This one schemes
against us, Father.
676
00:52:08,492 --> 00:52:09,721
He is a spy.

Hm?
684
00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:43,919
You can tell me. Have the
Scots allied with Aethelred?
685
00:52:45,996 --> 00:52:47,988
[pants]
686
00:52:48,098 --> 00:52:53,503
No recognition in his eyes, but
his face... is familiar somehow.
687
00:52:55,773 --> 00:52:57,207
You are an imposter...
688
00:52:58,609 --> 00:52:59,702
but for whom?
689
00:53:03,213 --> 00:53:04,442
Who are you?
690
00:53:10,020 --> 00:53:12,990
I am Uhtred of Bebbanburg!
691
00:53:14,658 --> 00:53:16,024
[all murmuring]
692
00:53:20,631 --> 00:53:22,566
It is unwise to mock me.
693
00:53:25,002 --> 00:53:26,026
Kill him.
694
00:53:29,173 --> 00:53:31,005
[pants heavily]
695
00:53:33,377 --> 00:53:35,346
[both grunting]
696
00:53:53,997 --> 00:53:55,932
[guard groans]
697
00:53:56,033 --> 00:53:58,093
[Young Uhtred pants]
698
00:53:58,202 --> 00:53:59,602
- Guards...
- Silence!
699
00:53:59,703 --> 00:54:01,103
[gasps and pants]
700
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,605
- [Uhtred] Only I shall speak!
- [Finan] Get back!
701
00:54:07,911 --> 00:54:09,004
Well done!
702
00:54:10,347 --> 00:54:11,440
[gasps and pants]
703
00:54:12,683 --> 00:54:13,776
[Aelfric groans]
704
00:54:14,551 --> 00:54:15,712
Do you know who I am?
705
00:54:16,787 --> 00:54:17,914
Hm? Do you know who I am?
706
00:54:20,290 --> 00:54:22,885
I am the true Lord
of Bebbanburg!
707
00:54:23,594 --> 00:54:25,028
And I am taking it back!
708
00:54:26,130 --> 00:54:27,723
I have no fight with you.
709
00:54:28,465 --> 00:54:30,127
Only this man is doomed.
710
00:54:30,734 --> 00:54:31,895
[Aelfric grunts]
711
00:54:31,969 --> 00:54:34,097
Are you happy to
see me, Uncle? Huh?
712
00:54:34,204 --> 00:54:37,299
I have waited a lifetime
to avenge myself.
713
00:54:38,075 --> 00:54:41,705
- I will enjoy taking my time with you! Mm?
- [Aelfric grunts]
714
00:54:42,746 --> 00:54:46,046
[Uhtred] No one else will
suffer, if you swear loyalty.
715
00:54:46,116 --> 00:54:49,484
None of you are my enemies.
You are men of Bebbanburg!
716
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:53,455
And, as Lord of Bebbanburg, I
will provide for and protect you!
717
00:54:55,159 --> 00:55:01,429
And this cruel shit, who has hated
you and mistreated you, will die.
718
00:55:02,566 --> 00:55:04,091
I've come home!
719
00:55:04,168 --> 00:55:07,935
Swear to me and
you will have my oath.
720
00:55:14,011 --> 00:55:16,571
Aidan... you remember me?
721
00:55:17,481 --> 00:55:18,744
Who has your allegiance?
722
00:55:30,027 --> 00:55:33,429
I am loyal to the true
heir of Bebbanburg.
723
00:55:35,199 --> 00:55:36,292
Good.
724
00:55:36,366 --> 00:55:40,599
Bear witness all, the
true heir of Bebbanburg!
725
00:55:50,848 --> 00:55:51,941
Who are you, boy?
726
00:55:53,050 --> 00:55:55,713
Wihtgar, son of Aelfric.
727
00:55:55,819 --> 00:55:59,221
Very much alive and back at
Bebbanburg as flesh and blood.
728
00:55:59,323 --> 00:56:02,384
And I could kill you with
this arrow in a heartbeat.
729
00:56:04,228 --> 00:56:05,628
You can try.
730
00:56:06,129 --> 00:56:07,529
The arrow would miss.
731
00:56:07,631 --> 00:56:09,964
Then you know nothing of
the weapons of the desert.
732
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:11,626
Put down the bow.
733
00:56:14,471 --> 00:56:15,962
Put down the bow!
734
00:56:16,039 --> 00:56:19,532
You've lost everything, Osbert!
735
00:56:21,979 --> 00:56:25,074
I won't tell you again,
put down the bow!
736
00:56:33,824 --> 00:56:35,759
[shouting and yelling]
737
00:56:42,099 --> 00:56:44,227
A son does not
always love a father.
738
00:56:45,836 --> 00:56:47,327
Learn from that, fool.
739
00:56:47,404 --> 00:56:49,498
Now, who's with me?
740
00:56:49,573 --> 00:56:50,768
[cheering]
741
00:56:50,874 --> 00:56:54,003
Who is with Wihtgar
of Bebbanburg?
742
00:56:54,077 --> 00:56:55,443
[cheering]
743
00:56:55,545 --> 00:56:56,877
[Finan] Get ready!
744
00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:06,955
[Finan] Get ready to fight!
744
00:57:07,305 --> 00:58:07,489
