1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:03,333
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:06,305
I helped the Saxons
defeat the Danes.
3
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:11,802
Cnut was killed, but I
left Brida to a terrible fate.
4
00:00:11,879 --> 00:00:13,370
Send me to Valhalla.
5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,680
[Rhodri] Take the pagan bitch!
6
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:16,545
- [whimpers]
- [Uhtred] Brida!
7
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:20,985
As Aethelred lay dying, new
dangers arose in Aegelesburg.
8
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:22,682
We will betroth
the Lady Aelfwynn
9
00:00:22,789 --> 00:00:25,623
to the successor and seal
the bond between our lands.
10
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:28,628
[Aethelflaed] I am concerned
about the fate of our daughter.
11
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:30,493
So, what is it that you want?
12
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:34,296
At the very least, you agree not to
betroth her to some heartless fool.
13
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:37,463
The king wishes to
betroth me to your daughter.
14
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:39,866
No, I will not agree to it.
15
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:41,669
[Aethelred grunts]
16
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:45,535
[neck snaps]
17
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,413
Have Aethelflaed
confined until this is settled.
18
00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:53,352
[Uhtred] She was rescued
by an unexpected ally.
19
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,719
Come, I've alerted the
man that protects you.
20
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:57,154
He's outside the window.
21
00:00:57,224 --> 00:01:01,924
And I have pledged to protect Aelfwynn
on the dangerous road that lies ahead.
22
00:01:02,029 --> 00:01:04,021
Stiorra, get the
children on the cart.
23
00:01:04,097 --> 00:01:05,998
We head north towards Ceaster!
24
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,362
Destiny is all!
25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,074

[sobs]
27
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:55,309
[coughs]
28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,289
Stop crying! I cannot bear it!
29
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:03,652
Be kind.
30
00:02:04,324 --> 00:02:05,485
She wants her mother.
31
00:02:05,592 --> 00:02:07,083
We survived without a mother.
32
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:10,731
You must be
stronger. Be grateful.
33
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,993
Better this than being
wed to an old man.
34
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:15,558
[sobs]
35
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:22,999
[Uhtred] Do we stop?
36
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:27,411
No. Edward and his men will
be half a day behind us at most.
37
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:30,280
We must move faster
to have any chance.
38
00:02:45,132 --> 00:02:47,124
I bring a message
from Lady Aethelflaed.
39
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,633
Did your brother send you?
40
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,695
No, he does not know I am here.
41
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:54,538
He imprisoned Lady
Aethelflaed, but I released her.
42
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:59,006
- Why should I believe you?
- I do not lie.
43
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,512
How did you find us?
44
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:04,710
Lady Aethelflaed herself said you
spoke of traveling the road to Ceaster.
45
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:05,858
There's no one else, Lord.
46
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:09,353
- And you took the road alone?
- Yes.
47
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:13,518
And she wants you to meet her
at the ruins of St. Milburg's Priory.
48
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:16,859
St. Milburg is on the road to
Wenloca, and we have passed it.
49
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:18,989
It might be a
trick to divert us.
50
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,329
I've done what I promised. You
can choose to believe it or not.
51
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:25,864
- And where do you go?
- I do not care!
52
00:03:27,474 --> 00:03:28,840
I have family in Francia.
53
00:03:28,909 --> 00:03:30,571
That way is inland.
54
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:34,171
Ships come in near Ceaster.
55
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:36,341
Travel with us.
We will show you.
56
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,409
If she's lying, at least
she's under our control.
57
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,249
I'm sick of being controlled.
58
00:03:42,522 --> 00:03:43,751
Then travel alone.
59
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:49,927
When did Aethelflaed leave?
60
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:52,526
Last night, in haste.
61
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,934
Without much silver and only
Lord Aldhelm to protect her.
62
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:59,730
Then she may be
at Wenloca already.
63
00:04:01,341 --> 00:04:02,866
We should ride back to meet her.
64
00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:05,910
Lord, we should not do this.
65
00:04:06,012 --> 00:04:08,413
If she found us, so will they.
66
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:17,080
Are you good with children?
67
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,590
Not really.
68
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,458
Excellent, neither are we.
69
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:22,221
We go back!
70
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,736
[low murmuring]
71
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:42,045
We will seize Uhtred's lands in
Coccham and take his children.
72
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:44,584
He will pay for abducting
a child of my blood.
73
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:46,244
We think his
children are with him.
74
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,618
He was seen on the road
with a number of children.
75
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:53,588
Speak of this to no one. We need
to maintain a semblance of order.
76
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:56,129
I fear doubts were already
whispered by the Ealdormen.
77
00:04:56,229 --> 00:04:58,221
They want my betrothal agreed.
78
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:00,767
Then say it is agreed
and that I have decided.
79
00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:04,136
With respect, Lord, your
decision is not final here.
80
00:05:04,237 --> 00:05:06,934
Lord King, the priests
are telling me that the room
81
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:09,340
offered to Aethelflaed
to grieve is empty.
82
00:05:09,442 --> 00:05:13,812
- It appears she has also left Aegelesburg.
- She conspired with Uhtred to betray us.
83
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:17,578
They are saying your sister Eadith
was the one who conspired to release her.
84
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:20,621
Then all these traitors should
be dragged back on their knees.
85
00:05:22,455 --> 00:05:24,822
I apologize, Lord, I speak
only out of frustration.
86
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:29,659
Aethelflaed is in grief and does not
know herself. Get your men to track them.
87
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:32,790
- Let me take the Mercian Guard...
- No. Cenric's men will find them.
88
00:05:32,866 --> 00:05:35,028
It is better you stay here
and maintain a sense
89
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:37,104
that everything is
proceeding as it should be.
90
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:39,867
They must hurry. The
danger of division is real.
91
00:05:41,474 --> 00:05:44,967
Ludeca is appeased for now, but
Burgred is stirring up the Ealdormen
92
00:05:45,045 --> 00:05:47,139
against the match
and against Wessex.
93
00:05:47,881 --> 00:05:50,874
What if the Ealdormen discover Lady
Aethelflaed and Aelfwynn are missing?
94
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:54,284
They will not discover that,
because all the fugitives will be found.
95
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,515
- [Finan] I've not asked.
- [Sihtric] It's a bit stale.
96
00:05:57,557 --> 00:05:59,788
That bread is so stale,
it'll take a tooth out!
97
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:02,022
Leave the fresher
bread for the children.
98
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:05,361
My men have the
stomachs of dogs.
99
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:07,662
That's very true.
100
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:12,672
- In fact, I once ate a dog.
- [Finan] I always said you were barking!
101
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,632
You are kinder than
your reputation, Lord.
102
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:20,537
- Lady Aethelflaed is lucky you serve her.
- I do not serve her.
103
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:22,172
But I owe her my respect.
104
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,710
I never sought to disrespect
her, only protect my brother.
105
00:06:27,821 --> 00:06:29,687
And did he protect
you in return?
106
00:06:30,423 --> 00:06:31,857
You know the answer to that.
107
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,693
- [screams] No! No! Father!
- Lord!
108
00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:47,406
Go back! Stay back!
The road is closed!
109
00:06:49,943 --> 00:06:51,411
[beggar] Let go!
110
00:06:51,511 --> 00:06:52,843
- Move!
- Stop there!
111
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:12,358
[gags and coughs]
112
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:15,293
Stay back!
113
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:18,395
Lord, stay back! It's the sickness.
They're dying of the sickness!
114
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:24,302
[both grunt]
115
00:07:31,484 --> 00:07:33,146
It was a kindness, Lord.
116
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:37,147
Which hand did he grab?
117
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,126
Leave her be.
118
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:44,754
Lord, it is spread by touch.
119
00:07:44,831 --> 00:07:47,494
No, it is the air that
spreads it. Do you have it?
120
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,761
- No!
- No!
121
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:50,133
Go!
122
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:53,096
And the animals. We
should kill the horses.
123
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,775
Father, what if I
breathed the air?
124
00:07:55,842 --> 00:07:58,107
It will not matter. It
only takes sinners.
125
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:00,511
That's not true. Your
father's right. It's in the air.
126
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:03,947
- It could take us, any one of us.
- We should return to Aegelesburg.
127
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:06,282
- If there's sickness in the land...
- We cannot go back.
128
00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:09,152
We cannot defend ourselves against
Edward's men or Mercian Guards.
129
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:11,658
Better to die in a fight
than choking blood.
130
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:16,162
We go across land to Wenloca,
abandon the path, avoid the bad air.
131
00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:18,254
The children will
not make it on foot.
132
00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:21,433
Then we leave them...
somewhere safe and then...
133
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,094
I will not leave the children!
134
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:24,865
But, Lord...
135
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:28,201
Lord, I have followed
you without complaint,
136
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,508
but do not inflict this on
men who've been loyal to you.
137
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:33,978
Finan, we have no choice.
We have to alter the plan.
138
00:08:34,047 --> 00:08:39,315
We'll leave the horses somewhere safe.
We'll go across land to Wenloca on foot.
139
00:08:40,787 --> 00:08:42,779
We'll be safe from
the sickness, trust me.
140
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,292
- All right?
- Hm.
141
00:08:49,396 --> 00:08:52,696
We go to Wenloca! We find
Aethelflaed and we get to Ceaster.
142
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:57,202
Let's find a place
to hide the horses.
143
00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:03,640
- Is this St. Milburg's?
- Yes. Trust the marker.
144
00:09:09,983 --> 00:09:11,703
We should get off the
road before nightfall.
145
00:09:12,585 --> 00:09:14,679
No. I will be here when
my daughter comes.
146
00:09:17,257 --> 00:09:20,091
Aldhelm, what if Edward's
men have taken my child?
147
00:09:20,193 --> 00:09:23,595
What if she is imprisoned somewhere at
this very moment, not knowing where I am?
148
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:25,324
Lady, do not torture yourself.
149
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:27,731
Uhtred will have rescued
her and he will find us.
150
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:29,063
He has never failed you.
151
00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:31,995
And yet this feels like failure.
152
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:36,571
A daughter of Alfred riding as
an outlaw in her own country!
153
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:39,403
Your father lived off
the land for a while.
154
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:41,879
He survived and prospered after.
155
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:44,942
In time, we will
return to Aegelesburg.
156
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:47,752
I'm not certain we can.
157
00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:53,124
I fear I may have led you along a
path from which there is no return.
158
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:58,094
- Aldhelm, they may spare me, but I...
- I understand, Lady.
159
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:00,790
I understand.
160
00:10:01,734 --> 00:10:03,862
[Burgred and family murmuring]
161
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:07,296
It won't be long.
162
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:11,274
You must be strong.
Think of your brother.
163
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:19,819
- Who allows you into the King's chamber?
- I do not need permission.
164
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,821
I am merely showing my son
where he will rest when he is Lord.
165
00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:25,585
You are a fool to
pursue this, Burgred.
166
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:27,991
It's as though you wish
to lose another child.
167
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:31,458
Why would I be frightened
of Edward's puppet...
168
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:35,299
when I have greater
forces on my side?
169
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:37,632
Who? Who are your forces?
170
00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:40,332
None but the Lord himself.
171
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,671
There is a reason we
survived the massacre.
172
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:46,234
God wants us to right
the wrongs done to Mercia.
173
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,244
Nevertheless, I will be
betrothed to the child,
174
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,978
and I will succeed the throne.
175
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:55,783
If it is so certain,
why is it not yet done?
176
00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:01,959
I think the King conceals
something and lies to us.
177
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:06,622
So, we will wait for our moment.
178
00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:28,645
- The crowds are growing.
- Yes, Commander.
179
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:30,314
News of Aethelred's
death spreads.
180
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:32,052
Nervous villagers
seeking protection.
181
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:36,118
There is a matter more pressing.
Find me 12 men to leave immediately.
182
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:40,331
If Wessex is incapable, we'll
find the fugitives ourselves.
183
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:51,033
This many people on the road,
someone must have seen them.
184
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:52,737
We'll soon find them, Commander.
185
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:56,241
Lord Ludeca.
186
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:58,917
[messenger pants]
187
00:11:59,018 --> 00:12:01,249
- I've heard news. There's sickness.
- Yes?
188
00:12:01,354 --> 00:12:04,324
- It is spreading across Mercia.
- Thank you. Let's go.
189
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,501
- No word?
- Not yet.
190
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:18,163
- Could they have gone north, not south?
- It is possible.
191
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,706
Keep them looking.
192
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:23,334
We're running out of time,
Lord King. Tempers are fraying.
193
00:12:24,777 --> 00:12:27,110
Father Pyrlig, how do
the preparations proceed?
194
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:29,182
Forgive me, but we
should delay all ceremonies.
195
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:32,686
They say the sickness is coming.
People are abandoning their villages.
196
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,347
It ravages worse
than any Dane invader.
197
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:37,447
We have to protect Aegelesburg.
198
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:59,242
Close the gate!
199
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:01,247
We cannot abandon the sick!
200
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:04,483
We risk spreading fever.
We must close the gates!
201
00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:05,882
Lord, overrule this.
202
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:09,286
No, Ludeca is right. More
people will provoke trouble.
203
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:11,585
We have a duty to
protect all Saxons.
204
00:13:11,658 --> 00:13:14,150
You cannot close the gates,
when the people seek refuge!
205
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,252
We have to protect
the town, Burgred.
206
00:13:16,329 --> 00:13:18,594
The other Ealdormen
would agree. You know this.
207
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:23,130
I hope your reward for
doing his bidding is worth it.
208
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:28,401
Perhaps we should keep it open.
The people are clearly frightened.
209
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,443
Frightened people
frighten others.
210
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:35,244
Overrule me on this and the Witan
will say you seek to conquer us.
211
00:13:36,082 --> 00:13:39,746
Besides, for now, Burgred
has no men to fight for him.
212
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,983
Do not provide him
with a readymade fyrd.
213
00:13:49,796 --> 00:13:50,991
I agree.
214
00:13:51,097 --> 00:13:52,258
Shut the gates!
215
00:13:52,332 --> 00:13:53,664
Shut the gates!
216
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:56,133
- Close the gates!
- Get the gates closed!
217
00:13:56,202 --> 00:13:59,036
[villagers shouting]
218
00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:11,476
[baby cries]
219
00:14:23,896 --> 00:14:25,797
[angry and confused yelling]
220
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:44,041
Where is she?
221
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:47,416
Where's Lady Aelswith?
And who helped her?
222
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,818
Who betrayed us?
223
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:16,909
Leave the frogs alone!
224
00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:18,450
[Aethelstan giggles]
225
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:42,199
Was I wrong to
oppose the betrothal?
226
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:44,602
No.
227
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:47,110
You are trying to protect her.
228
00:15:47,213 --> 00:15:48,408
[exasperated sigh]
229
00:15:48,915 --> 00:15:51,783
Perhaps I should have
accepted it all with good grace.
230
00:15:53,052 --> 00:15:55,112
I was married
young and I survived.
231
00:15:55,922 --> 00:15:58,585
Lady, your husband
wished you dead.
232
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:02,625
Maybe that's what
royal husbands do.
233
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:06,322
Maybe that's what I should
have been preparing Aelfwynn for.
234
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:08,094
[horse neighs]
235
00:16:26,185 --> 00:16:27,312
Hurry!
236
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:29,915
For your own safety,
don't stay here!
237
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,116
Do the Danes return?
238
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:34,854
No. The sickness is
taking young and old.
239
00:16:34,961 --> 00:16:37,260
Escape the foul
airs while you can.
240
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:40,699
The sickness has not
struck for many years.
241
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,031
Follow us. We go north.
242
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:45,196
Join them.
243
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:48,437
No, we'll miss Aelfwynn.
244
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:52,138
Lady, do not be foolish. The
sickness takes all, regardless of rank.
245
00:16:53,045 --> 00:16:55,480
I would rather be foolish
than abandon my child.
246
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:57,814
Do not ask again.
247
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:05,817
[Stiorra sniffs]
248
00:17:06,659 --> 00:17:09,219
- He's heavier than he looks.
- [Stiorra sneezes]
249
00:17:09,328 --> 00:17:10,352
[sniffles]
250
00:17:10,463 --> 00:17:13,023
- What's wrong with you?
- I have a fever from the grasses.
251
00:17:13,132 --> 00:17:14,156
I do not have it!
252
00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:16,828
Finan, the sickness
would not strike this fast.
253
00:17:16,903 --> 00:17:18,804
You've not seen
what I have, Lord.
254
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:21,867
Oh, hey! How many
times do I have to tell you?
255
00:17:21,974 --> 00:17:23,306
You cannot do that!
256
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:24,571
Who are you anyway?
257
00:17:25,811 --> 00:17:27,211
I am no one.
258
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:31,011
He's Aethelstan,
Edward's firstborn son.
259
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:37,087
Hidden child of Edward!
How did he survive this long?
260
00:17:37,189 --> 00:17:40,318
He's driven by a mission to
annoy me, aren't you, Aethelstan?
261
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:44,159
Better keep him safe, Finan.
That's royal blood you're carrying.
262
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,359
- Welcome to the bastard life, boy.
- [Sihtric laughs]
263
00:17:54,106 --> 00:17:56,837
You can smell it on the
air. They're burning bodies.
264
00:17:57,276 --> 00:17:59,336
It means the fever
is just fields away.
265
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,381
Lady, no one has
passed by for hours.
266
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:04,246
They've probably closed the
roads to contain the sickness.
267
00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:06,615
Uhtred will have gone
on ahead to Ceaster.
268
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:08,881
We should do the same.
269
00:18:25,805 --> 00:18:28,775
- [Aethelstan] How much longer?
- [Stiorra] Again and I will not reply.
270
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:30,775
[Uhtred] It is right at
the end of this field.
271
00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:33,277
We should be able to
see the cross any moment.
272
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:51,921
We're looking for warriors
traveling with children.
273
00:18:51,998 --> 00:18:54,297
Did these warriors
bring the sickness?
274
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:56,970
The sickness is on this road.
275
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:58,731
We have no fear of it!
276
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,295
It only takes sinners!
277
00:19:00,406 --> 00:19:01,567
Is that true?
278
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:05,607
Move, I'm getting
out of the bad air!
279
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:07,970
I'm not risking the sickness.
280
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:13,510
I will double the reward of
every man who chooses to stay!
281
00:19:24,964 --> 00:19:26,933
[clatter of sword]
282
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:34,764
- What are you looking for, Finan?
- Bodies!
283
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,035
Eh?
284
00:19:37,043 --> 00:19:39,512
Bodies! I know the
sickness is close.
285
00:19:39,945 --> 00:19:41,538
Why are you shitting yourself?
286
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:43,375
[sighs]
287
00:19:43,983 --> 00:19:47,215
I've seen men as strong
as bears at breakfast time...
288
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:51,679
gurgling blood and
pus by supper time!
289
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:53,387
You little runt!
290
00:19:53,893 --> 00:19:56,522
Take Aelfwynn out of the
sun. It is not good for her.
291
00:19:58,297 --> 00:20:00,994
I'm sick of mothering her.
I've done it for months now.
292
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:04,399
Think of it as training
for being a wife.
293
00:20:04,503 --> 00:20:08,463
I will not become a wife...
hard work for too little reward.
294
00:20:10,676 --> 00:20:11,700
Come on.
295
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:18,007
Lady Aethelflaed is not coming.
296
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,020
Let's go, not wait for
the foul air to catch us.
297
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:23,750
Lord, I promised her I
would send you to meet her.
298
00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:27,023
On horseback, she
must have been here first.
299
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:31,494
She would have gone on to
Ceaster as agreed. We move.
300
00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:08,929
Hey! Look at Aelfwynn.
301
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:13,229
[whispers] Her face is
red. She clearly sickens.
302
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:14,967
She just needs some rest.
303
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:16,703
We all do.
304
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:18,771
- Go on.
- Let me talk to him.
305
00:21:18,878 --> 00:21:19,902
Go on.
306
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:27,814
How long have we been on
the road, Lord? Two days?
307
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:30,946
And no sight of Edward's men.
308
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:35,118
They do not know the land up
here, Lord. Children need their rest.
309
00:21:37,496 --> 00:21:40,989
Worried about your father's
grandchildren, Osferth? Huh?
310
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:45,068
[Aelfwynn coughs]
311
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:59,281
This is a good place.
312
00:22:01,854 --> 00:22:03,345
We rest here for the night.
313
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:05,117
[Eadith] You can sleep now.
314
00:22:15,367 --> 00:22:17,268
Have the fugitives been located?
315
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:21,865
No. Villagers flee in their droves, but
none seem to have seen your sister.
316
00:22:21,974 --> 00:22:25,843
What if the sickness has taken
her? What if we drove her into danger?
317
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:29,279
- She left by her own choice, Lord King.
- Did she?
318
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:33,545
Tell them to burn herbs
in the surrounding fields.
319
00:22:33,652 --> 00:22:35,678
Let the smoke
drive out the bad air.
320
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:38,718
Then we have done
one good thing at least.
321
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,692
Eardwulf has left Aegelesburg
with 12 of our best men.
322
00:22:45,798 --> 00:22:48,290
Why does he travel
in time of sickness?
323
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:50,996
He has gone to protect
the Lady Aelfwynn.
324
00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:55,064
He is a man devoted
to his betrothed.
325
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:56,870
He is devoted to himself.
326
00:22:57,643 --> 00:23:00,203
And would risk the
bad air only for treasure.
327
00:23:00,312 --> 00:23:02,406
Anyone here could
have warned you of that.
328
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,350
- Eardwulf has gone to find Aelfwynn?
- Yes.
329
00:23:11,423 --> 00:23:14,222
You assured me he
would do as we requested.
330
00:23:14,326 --> 00:23:16,989
I asked him to remain.
331
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:20,362
He is a man of action,
not a man of politics.
332
00:23:20,432 --> 00:23:25,871
In future, advise me better
in whom we place our trust.
333
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,901
[crows cawing]
334
00:23:37,383 --> 00:23:38,442
[surprised grunt]
335
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,177
[sighs]
336
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:49,793
Hey! Good morning, Princess.
337
00:23:55,234 --> 00:23:59,296
Anyone who shits
liquid will be left behind.
338
00:24:58,931 --> 00:25:00,126
[caws]
339
00:26:40,632 --> 00:26:44,091
[guard] The gates are closed!
There's no entry to Aegelesburg!
340
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:50,872
Lord Aethelhelm,
explain this to me.
341
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:55,472
The Ealdormen have ordered
that the gates be held closed.
342
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:58,474
There is sickness here.
343
00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:00,642
Speak to my son.
344
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:05,046
Of course, but I'm sure he'll
not want you to be harmed.
345
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:10,253
In fact, he might wish that
you quit Mercia altogether.
346
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:17,668
Tell him I survived the swamps of
Athelney and am unafraid of the sickness.
347
00:27:42,761 --> 00:27:45,253
[pants]
348
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,695
Lord, we should go.
349
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:09,784
- I shall leave it to you, Ludeca.
- Are we certain it's her?
350
00:28:09,855 --> 00:28:11,847
Sir, I saw her for myself.
351
00:28:13,225 --> 00:28:14,784
Why's she not in Winchester?
352
00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:20,326
Ludeca, why is my mother
being held at the gate?
353
00:28:20,832 --> 00:28:22,824
The order applies
to high-born and low.
354
00:28:22,901 --> 00:28:24,961
This is the wife of Alfred.
355
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:29,031
Nonetheless, you agreed we should not risk
the sickness being brought into our town.
356
00:28:29,141 --> 00:28:31,452
The King's mother cannot be
treated the same as a peasant...
357
00:28:31,476 --> 00:28:33,911
She can, if you are
to respect the Witan.
358
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:41,350
She is Mercian in blood and
defied me to send troops to help you.
359
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,889
If she cares for Mercia,
she will turn back.
360
00:28:43,989 --> 00:28:47,221
And trudge the roads like a
beggar. Unthinkable, explain to him!
361
00:28:50,696 --> 00:28:52,995
Lord, if you make an
exception for your mother,
362
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:56,001
you will be seen as
overruling Mercian wishes.
363
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:59,168
Tell them to open the gates.
364
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:01,032
[exasperated breathing]
365
00:29:02,374 --> 00:29:06,334
I cannot speak in the King's name.
That would be to over-reach myself.
366
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,006
The Ealdormen are overruled!
367
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:13,411
Open the gate immediately!
368
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:28,059
[crowd shouting]
369
00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:29,795
[horse neighs]
370
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:31,927
[yelling and shouting]
371
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:41,569
He lets good Mercians suffer
whilst his own kin are preferred.
372
00:29:44,716 --> 00:29:46,617
I fear you were right, Burgred.
373
00:29:49,154 --> 00:29:51,089
King Edward seeks to conquer us.
374
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:53,990
Why are you here?
375
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:56,752
Has something happened
in Winchester, Mother?
376
00:29:57,329 --> 00:30:01,596
Apart from being threatened, on
your behalf, nothing whatsoever.
377
00:30:03,935 --> 00:30:05,961
I sent no command for
you to be imprisoned!
378
00:30:06,071 --> 00:30:07,403
Then how did it happen?
379
00:30:07,472 --> 00:30:09,634
I said you were to be
rebuked for raising the Welsh.
380
00:30:09,741 --> 00:30:13,303
The humiliation of it, Edward,
to be manhandled by your men.
381
00:30:13,412 --> 00:30:16,246
It was not an order I sent!
382
00:30:16,315 --> 00:30:19,911
Who, then? Who decided
to treat me in that way?
383
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,614
I do not know. It is a mistake.
384
00:30:22,688 --> 00:30:25,954
A mistake? Or
perhaps the girl lied?
385
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:30,291
If by the girl you mean the Queen,
no. Aelflaed is a gentle soul...
386
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:32,263
Lord Aethelhelm, then.
387
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:35,165
He despises me and seeks
to have me diminished.
388
00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:37,702
He does not speak in my
name without my knowledge.
389
00:30:37,803 --> 00:30:39,829
I think he schemes
to his own plan.
390
00:30:39,938 --> 00:30:42,430
Well, you, of course,
would recognize that.
391
00:30:45,644 --> 00:30:47,772
Enough fighting. Edward.
392
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:50,673
I simply wish to
see Aethelflaed.
393
00:30:52,284 --> 00:30:53,684
She is not here.
394
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:56,619
She is somewhere in Mercia
with Uhtred Ragnarson.
395
00:30:57,189 --> 00:30:59,351
She travels the road
in times of fever?
396
00:30:59,458 --> 00:31:03,225
She has chosen to run with him
and abandon her life as a widow.
397
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,324
Then Uhtred has compelled her.
398
00:31:06,798 --> 00:31:08,027
It appears not.
399
00:31:08,133 --> 00:31:11,695
Then she's gone mad with grief.
And is this known by the people?
400
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:13,897
Obviously not. Nor will it be.
401
00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:15,633
But your father will see it.
402
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:20,702
From above. Alfred will
see it and feel despair.
403
00:31:53,211 --> 00:31:57,615
The lady warrior, putting her
strength to good use, I see.
404
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:00,848
To think men died to defeat you.
405
00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:06,882
I wouldn't give
you the satisfaction.
406
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,292
You smell of shit.
407
00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:12,088
[spits]
408
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:09,417
Take some rest.
409
00:33:10,322 --> 00:33:11,483
I will watch over you.
410
00:33:13,492 --> 00:33:16,291
Trust me, I've learned
the skills of a warrior.
411
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:19,490
You may have the skills, but
you do not have the heart of one.
412
00:33:19,598 --> 00:33:22,625
This life isn't for you. Why
do you pretend like it is?
413
00:33:26,438 --> 00:33:29,772
"Honor your mother and
father." It is commanded.
414
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:32,868
You do not have to do this
so that Father might love you.
415
00:33:32,978 --> 00:33:34,139
I do not.
416
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:37,777
Besides, I also know
how to defend myself.
417
00:33:38,316 --> 00:33:42,048
I've spent a lot of time on my
own and taught myself many things.
418
00:33:42,554 --> 00:33:44,887
I'm sorry we were
torn from each other.
419
00:33:44,990 --> 00:33:47,391
Alfred used us to hurt Father.
420
00:33:48,326 --> 00:33:51,319
Yes, but at least he led
us to a Christian path.
421
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,229
You perhaps.
422
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:58,464
- What heathen gave you that?
- None, I made it myself.
423
00:33:59,237 --> 00:34:02,332
As I say, I taught
myself many things.
424
00:34:03,074 --> 00:34:06,408
My blood on this rune is
to protect us on our journey.
425
00:34:07,812 --> 00:34:08,905
[blows]
426
00:34:12,918 --> 00:34:14,147
[inhales deeply]
427
00:34:16,021 --> 00:34:17,148
[exhales]
428
00:34:29,401 --> 00:34:32,496
They're traveling with young
children. They cannot be far away.
429
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,576
Aelfwynn says she feels hot.
430
00:34:43,682 --> 00:34:45,742
Drink this. It'll cool you.
431
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:53,058
You did not see me do that.
432
00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:55,025
I will not tell.
433
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:57,586
I think she is just tired.
434
00:35:00,131 --> 00:35:01,895
His name is Finan, isn't it?
435
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:07,466
That's him. Irish bastard and the
bravest warrior I've ever known.
436
00:35:08,073 --> 00:35:09,541
Bar Lord Uhtred himself.
437
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:14,076
Forgive him for his alarm.
He's seen the fever take people.
438
00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:16,876
I judge very little, for
I am in no position to.
439
00:35:17,816 --> 00:35:19,216
Thank you, Osferth.
440
00:35:21,086 --> 00:35:23,453
If you feel any worse,
you tell me or Eadith.
441
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:24,750
I will.
442
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,392
You are true
warriors, aren't you?
443
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:31,623
Mm-hm.
444
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:34,494
I don't know
about true warriors.
445
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:37,125
It is strange to spend
so much time with men
446
00:35:37,235 --> 00:35:40,728
and not be seen as
a thing to be used.
447
00:35:42,107 --> 00:35:43,131
Oh.
448
00:35:43,675 --> 00:35:46,770
- Well, if you're offended, I can always...
- I am not offended.
449
00:35:49,347 --> 00:35:50,406
[chuckles]
450
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,178
Build the walls of Winchester.
451
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:57,519
[coughs]
452
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:00,819
We've picked up a
trail, Commander.
453
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:12,929
Try and get some rest now.
We leave before sunrise.
454
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:31,614
Thank you for not
killing my brother.
455
00:36:33,058 --> 00:36:35,391
No honor in killing
a sleeping man.
456
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:41,030
If he comes for us,
I will not hesitate.
457
00:36:41,132 --> 00:36:42,156
I know.
458
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:46,167
I have chosen
which bed to lie upon.
459
00:36:46,905 --> 00:36:49,397
Why did you not betray
us when you could?
460
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:53,403
Because I would rather sleep
on cold earth than in a palace
461
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:55,309
where people see me as a whore.
462
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:05,717
Do they look down on
you from the heavens?
463
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:08,249
Your gods?
464
00:37:09,928 --> 00:37:11,692
Do they sit in judgment?
465
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:14,889
No.
466
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,368
They are more fickle than that.
467
00:37:18,503 --> 00:37:22,873
You please them or displease
them. You do not always know how.
468
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,207
So, how do you know
which path is righteous?
469
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:28,541
Sometimes...
470
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:34,041
I think the path of the
warrior is my way to Valhalla.
471
00:37:39,124 --> 00:37:40,922
Sometimes I do not know.
472
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:48,896
Does your god watch over you?
473
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:55,637
I look for signs that he does.
474
00:37:56,808 --> 00:37:58,208
But I rarely see them.
475
00:38:07,986 --> 00:38:11,650
[raucous shouting and laughter]
476
00:38:19,998 --> 00:38:21,398
[laughs]
477
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:34,613
Brochfael of Gwent
has not smiled once.
478
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:37,843
Envy. Your victory
is his loss, brother.
479
00:38:38,283 --> 00:38:39,342
Hm, perhaps.
480
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,579
Perhaps the spoils
are a little galling to him.
481
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:48,183
[cheering]
482
00:38:54,432 --> 00:38:55,672
- [Rhodri yells]
- [Brida gasps]
483
00:38:56,968 --> 00:38:58,630
Oh, Rhodri, you are a turd.
484
00:38:59,437 --> 00:39:00,996
She was a great warrior once.
485
00:39:01,105 --> 00:39:03,267
It is you who are the
great warrior, brother.
486
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,537
What will you do
now the fight is over?
487
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:08,040
I'm going on a pilgrimage...
488
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:12,111
and you can rule from
the fortress in my absence.
489
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:16,450
Play king for a while. You
deserve it. You fought valiantly.
490
00:39:21,993 --> 00:39:23,120
Come on!
491
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:24,321
[Brida groans]
492
00:39:27,298 --> 00:39:28,493
[knocking]
493
00:39:34,839 --> 00:39:36,171
This way.
494
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:52,356
[indistinct chattering]
495
00:39:54,993 --> 00:39:56,017
Come here, bitch!
496
00:39:56,094 --> 00:39:59,531
[pants and groans]
497
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,898
You see this? It
belonged to Cnut himself.
498
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:10,333
No, it did not...
you lying turd.
499
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:14,243
[men raucously] Oh!
500
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:16,673
[Brida grunts]
501
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:18,944
Throw the Danish
whore in the pit!
502
00:40:20,018 --> 00:40:21,543
[Brida grunts]
503
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:26,721
[Brida whimpers and yells]
504
00:40:26,791 --> 00:40:28,089
[grunts]
505
00:40:31,362 --> 00:40:33,524
[raucous laughter]
506
00:40:36,067 --> 00:40:37,899
We lost good men because of her.
507
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:42,600
Have some grace in victory.
508
00:40:50,648 --> 00:40:52,048
We melt this down.
509
00:40:53,251 --> 00:40:55,743
Pay every craftsman
in the country to finish
510
00:40:55,820 --> 00:41:00,053
the job that that bastard King
Offa of Mercia started centuries ago.
511
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:03,583
A barrier between
us and the Saxons!
512
00:41:03,661 --> 00:41:05,220
[cheering]
513
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:10,599
And, in honor of our
delicious friend here, I swear...
514
00:41:10,668 --> 00:41:16,835
the Saxon pigs will never set
another foot in our beautiful land!
515
00:41:16,941 --> 00:41:20,969
[cheering]
516
00:41:21,079 --> 00:41:22,103
Eat!
517
00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:23,910
[cheering]
518
00:41:38,096 --> 00:41:39,428
[Rhodri] Get up, bitch! [laughs]
519
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:42,490
- [Brida groans]
- No sleeping down there!
520
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:44,362
You hungry?
521
00:41:44,469 --> 00:41:45,801
[Rhodri laughs]
522
00:41:47,939 --> 00:41:48,998
Thank you, Father.
523
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:53,372
[knocking on door]
524
00:41:53,711 --> 00:41:57,375
- [whispers] Go. Hide.
- Come on, quickly.
525
00:41:57,482 --> 00:41:58,541
Get down.
526
00:42:02,286 --> 00:42:03,345
Ah.
527
00:42:06,657 --> 00:42:09,718
Shall I turn a blind
eye, Father Pyrlig?
528
00:42:12,063 --> 00:42:15,397
They are just frightened.
None of them have the sickness.
529
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:18,664
I need to speak with
you, in confidence.
530
00:42:19,904 --> 00:42:21,133
Lady, please...
531
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:25,510
I do not want to be involved in
any more plans to deceive the King.
532
00:42:28,413 --> 00:42:29,745
Except this one.
533
00:42:31,516 --> 00:42:33,747
I am not concerned about Edward.
534
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:37,052
He seems to have come
to his senses, at last.
535
00:42:37,989 --> 00:42:42,586
But why has my daughter
taken leave of hers?
536
00:43:01,112 --> 00:43:03,707
You imprisoned your own sister?
537
00:43:04,282 --> 00:43:06,581
[sighs]
538
00:43:06,684 --> 00:43:10,587
It was a temporary measure
to keep the town at peace.
539
00:43:10,688 --> 00:43:15,626
And then sent men of violence
to hunt her and Aelfwynn down?
540
00:43:15,726 --> 00:43:17,718
No violence has been ordered.
541
00:43:17,795 --> 00:43:21,095
You send an army,
you start a battle.
542
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,260
And now your sister
is in harm's way.
543
00:43:27,038 --> 00:43:30,566
- Not to mention your son...
- My son is protected in Winchester.
544
00:43:33,978 --> 00:43:36,709
Your secondborn, yes.
545
00:43:38,883 --> 00:43:41,910
Your firstborn, Aethelstan...
546
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,082
I had hidden at Saltwic.
547
00:43:45,156 --> 00:43:46,283
Mother...
548
00:43:47,058 --> 00:43:48,720
- I sent him there...
- Mother!
549
00:43:50,895 --> 00:43:55,458
I sent him there, because
threats were made against him.
550
00:43:55,566 --> 00:43:58,502
Do you know if he has
been taken by Uhtred?
551
00:43:59,170 --> 00:44:01,662
I believe Uhtred
left with children.
552
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:07,069
So, at best, two of
my grandchildren...
553
00:44:07,778 --> 00:44:10,748
travel on open ground
in time of sickness.
554
00:44:13,784 --> 00:44:16,515
How has it come to this, Edward?
555
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:21,690
How have you strayed so far?
556
00:44:21,792 --> 00:44:24,785
Forging an alliance
with Mercia is everything.
557
00:44:27,832 --> 00:44:30,267
I did not intend
to harm any child.
558
00:44:33,771 --> 00:44:38,869
But children should not be dragged
into politics, Edward. We know this.
559
00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:41,142
The ones that are...
560
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:45,344
well, we know
they rarely survive.
561
00:45:20,051 --> 00:45:21,986
[chuckles] An actual path.
562
00:45:23,054 --> 00:45:27,856
A good sign. Next village we get to, we
can get some horses, move more quickly.
563
00:45:27,925 --> 00:45:31,259
Without wind, the sickness
cannot have reached this far north.
564
00:45:33,097 --> 00:45:35,191
I fear Lady Aelfwynn
may be sickening.
565
00:45:36,167 --> 00:45:37,897
Yes, but we have to keep moving.
566
00:45:38,502 --> 00:45:40,869
- Just reassure her.
- How?
567
00:45:41,772 --> 00:45:43,070
I do not know.
568
00:45:45,009 --> 00:45:47,171
It's something I
myself have failed at.
569
00:45:51,282 --> 00:45:53,046
- [Eadith] Keep going.
- [horse whinnies]
570
00:45:53,117 --> 00:45:54,608
- Not much longer...
- Horses?
571
00:45:56,721 --> 00:45:58,349
Head over that ridge. Go!
572
00:45:58,422 --> 00:45:59,685
[Eadith] Come, Aelfwynn!
573
00:46:00,458 --> 00:46:01,756
[Uhtred] Faster!
574
00:46:01,859 --> 00:46:03,020
- Come, Aelfwynn!
- Quick!
575
00:46:04,895 --> 00:46:06,921
Help the children!
Don't look back.
576
00:46:07,031 --> 00:46:09,231
- Keep moving.
- We're not going to outrun them, Father!
577
00:46:16,107 --> 00:46:19,077
[indistinct yelling]
578
00:46:20,645 --> 00:46:22,409
- They're getting closer!
- Keep moving!
579
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,381
Run! Come on!
580
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,389
[Finan groans]
581
00:46:40,264 --> 00:46:42,233
[Finan] It's the
sickness! Stay back!
582
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:43,760
Stay back!
583
00:46:45,970 --> 00:46:47,165
Dear God.
584
00:46:47,271 --> 00:46:48,569
We can swim through.
585
00:46:49,173 --> 00:46:51,938
No. I'd rather face
them and die now.
586
00:46:52,009 --> 00:46:54,103
I'm not sweating and
shitting in three days' time.
587
00:46:54,178 --> 00:46:56,807
- I want to try. I am not ready to die.
- No, Stiorra!
588
00:47:11,996 --> 00:47:14,363
Give me Lady Aelfwynn
and you'll all be spared.
589
00:47:15,032 --> 00:47:16,432
Stay your weapons.
590
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:17,832
[arrows whistling]
591
00:47:18,536 --> 00:47:20,767
My men won't miss next time.
592
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:22,431
[Uhtred] Shield the little ones.
593
00:47:28,179 --> 00:47:30,546
Aelfwynn, come with me.
594
00:47:31,649 --> 00:47:33,379
Or I will kill all
of these people.
595
00:47:33,484 --> 00:47:35,476
Then I'll find your
mother and I'll kill her too.
596
00:47:37,154 --> 00:47:39,316
Save your friends
and leave with me.
597
00:47:41,292 --> 00:47:43,022
[Uhtred] She will
stay where she is.
598
00:47:43,127 --> 00:47:45,392
- [Eardwulf] Aelfwynn, we are betrothed.
- [sobs]
599
00:47:50,234 --> 00:47:51,497
[Uhtred] Stand firm.
600
00:47:52,970 --> 00:47:55,132
Protect the children
with your lives.
601
00:47:56,474 --> 00:48:00,070
When the fighting kicks off, run
like hell toward the trees, wee man.
602
00:48:00,177 --> 00:48:01,543
[dagger rasps]
603
00:48:02,713 --> 00:48:04,011
I want it back.
604
00:48:10,421 --> 00:48:12,686
- Are you ready, Sister Warrior?
- She's ready.
605
00:48:12,757 --> 00:48:13,918
[Stiorra pants]
606
00:48:16,227 --> 00:48:20,995
[sobs and whimpers] Please
don't let them kill my mother!
607
00:48:27,004 --> 00:48:28,438
[Eardwulf] Seize the child!
608
00:48:43,554 --> 00:48:45,921
No. No, do not do his bidding!
609
00:48:46,023 --> 00:48:47,514
He has betrayed you all!
610
00:48:48,392 --> 00:48:50,759
He murdered Lord
Aethelred! I witnessed it...
611
00:48:50,861 --> 00:48:52,295
So speaks a traitor of Mercia...
612
00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:54,297
As he lay mortally
wounded in his bed...
613
00:48:54,398 --> 00:48:57,857
- This is the words of a whore!
- I will swear to it on the book!
614
00:48:59,804 --> 00:49:03,741
Aethelred refused to allow my
brother to marry this poor child.
615
00:49:04,375 --> 00:49:05,707
So, he killed him.
616
00:49:06,477 --> 00:49:08,105
That is the man you serve.
617
00:49:08,712 --> 00:49:12,274
Ask him why Aethelred was
late to the fight at Tettenhall.
618
00:49:12,383 --> 00:49:15,046
Because this man lied to you!
619
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:19,215
Days he delayed telling you
your fellow Mercians were dead!
620
00:49:19,290 --> 00:49:23,421
Days you could have had to
travel home and save your families!
621
00:49:23,494 --> 00:49:25,895
He killed and buried
the messenger
622
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:28,592
that Edward sent
alerting us to the trouble.
623
00:49:28,666 --> 00:49:31,568
My men will not be
fooled by your lies.
624
00:49:31,635 --> 00:49:32,796
[guard] Let the woman speak!
625
00:49:37,942 --> 00:49:39,604
I have proof of his crime!
626
00:49:40,444 --> 00:49:43,414
Look inside the pouch
he wears around his neck!
627
00:49:43,981 --> 00:49:49,613
Inside, you will find the ring that he
stole from your Lord as he lay dead.
628
00:49:50,087 --> 00:49:51,316
There is no truth to this.
629
00:49:51,422 --> 00:49:53,755
If there is no truth
to it, then prove it.
630
00:49:54,859 --> 00:49:56,589
Show your men what's inside.
631
00:49:58,362 --> 00:50:01,764
Seize Aelfwynn or I will have
you executed for treachery.
632
00:50:04,268 --> 00:50:05,497
Do as I say!
633
00:50:06,504 --> 00:50:08,200
Do not threaten your own men!
634
00:50:09,940 --> 00:50:11,101
Enough talk.
635
00:50:11,609 --> 00:50:12,941
If she lies...
636
00:50:13,677 --> 00:50:16,146
let us see what you
bear around your neck.
637
00:50:16,947 --> 00:50:18,108
Now.
638
00:50:36,667 --> 00:50:40,001
It is Lord Aethelred's.
It has his seal!
639
00:50:48,045 --> 00:50:53,575
You cannot deny it. Save
yourself before these men kill you.
640
00:50:53,684 --> 00:50:55,915
Flee to Francia, brother!
641
00:51:01,926 --> 00:51:03,189
You're safe now.
642
00:51:23,847 --> 00:51:25,179
Will he return?
643
00:51:25,749 --> 00:51:27,775
I doubt I will see
him alive again.
644
00:51:29,887 --> 00:51:31,355
It is over for us.
645
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:07,447
[messenger groans]
646
00:52:13,464 --> 00:52:14,557
[chains clanging]
647
00:52:18,402 --> 00:52:19,768
[whimpering]
648
00:52:22,806 --> 00:52:23,967
Who did this to you?
649
00:52:25,275 --> 00:52:26,607
Danes.
650
00:52:27,444 --> 00:52:31,905
[breathes heavily] They have
landed west of here... from Irland.
651
00:52:33,617 --> 00:52:36,781
They told me to say they
are intent on slaughter.
652
00:52:37,655 --> 00:52:40,648
And that yours is the
first head they will take.
653
00:52:47,965 --> 00:52:49,831
There will be plenty of
time for reading books
654
00:52:49,933 --> 00:52:52,133
and playing games before
you'll be needing one of these.
655
00:52:57,207 --> 00:52:58,539
Aethelstan?
656
00:53:00,711 --> 00:53:01,940
You ride with Finan.
657
00:53:02,012 --> 00:53:03,708
Keep an eye on him? Hm?
658
00:53:05,482 --> 00:53:07,383
You two go on the road
and find Aethelflaed.
659
00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:09,282
Tell her her child
is safe for now.
660
00:53:09,353 --> 00:53:11,288
Eadith and Osferth
will guard her here
661
00:53:11,355 --> 00:53:13,517
until Edward has sworn
he will not harm her.
662
00:53:13,624 --> 00:53:16,150
You will tell him what
kind of a man he trusted.
663
00:53:16,994 --> 00:53:20,396
So, we fight for
peace, Lord... again.
664
00:53:20,898 --> 00:53:22,696
We cannot let them
turn on each other.
665
00:53:25,502 --> 00:53:26,561
We do it?
666
00:53:29,173 --> 00:53:30,197
We do it.
667
00:53:51,028 --> 00:53:52,394
I fear she's getting worse.
668
00:53:54,264 --> 00:53:56,733
Can you keep her
alive until I return?
669
00:53:57,334 --> 00:53:59,235
We will do everything we can.
670
00:54:06,076 --> 00:54:07,203
We need to.
671
00:54:09,446 --> 00:54:11,005
She is the future.
671
00:54:12,305 --> 00:55:12,725
