00:00Do you feel justice?
00:24Yes, I do.
00:30I feel clenched.
00:33Good.
00:37Because now they intend to kill us.
00:40I don't believe that.
00:43Father said...
00:44Father was wrong.
00:46He is a stranger to this world, Fletus.
00:49He does not know how much has changed since he left.
00:51Then I believe in Yalhaokan.
00:55She will not allow it. She's strong.
00:57She is also in a difficult position.
01:00If she releases us, she will start the war.
01:04Christians will burn down Katikata and many other people will die.
01:09It is in their best interest to have us killed.
01:12But Regalis, I am proud of you.
01:37Silence!
01:38You are accused of murdering a man you claim attacked you.
01:46Have you a way to prove this?
01:47Did I put this scar on my back?
01:49Any one of your lovers could have done that to you.
01:51The gods know the truth.
01:53False gods!
01:54There is only one ghost god!
01:57There is only one ghost god!
01:58There is only one ghost god!
01:58You are a Christian god!
02:00Silence!
02:01Silence!
02:05In the old ways, you will be within your right to take revenge.
02:09But we live in different times.
02:12There are those gathered among us who feel that your claims require further proof.
02:19Can you provide it?
02:22A trial by combat.
02:25If I am lying, the gods will not protect me.
02:28Combat?
02:29With me?
02:30You are her accuser.
02:35Are you afraid?
02:42King Canute, this woman's actions have robbed you of a valuable part of your arsenal.
02:47Not having Gunnar puts the lives of everyone in this room, Christian and pagan, at risk.
02:54Therefore, I implore you, and the noble ruler of Kattegat, to acknowledge that debt, and make her pay for it with her life!
03:15Yarl Havgar, may I speak?
03:21Yarl Olaf makes an excellent argument.
03:25Gunnar was an important part of our strategy, and his loss will indeed cause hardship.
03:31But my brother may have also offered a better solution.
03:35Since this woman cost you a vital element to our mission,
03:39should she not be forced to render something of equal, if not greater value, to our endeavor?
03:45So, Chaz?
03:48Her brother, Leif Erikson.
03:51Son of the great berserker, Eirich the Red.
03:57One of, if not the best, ship captain in this room.
04:02He piloted his ship across open ocean from Greenland,
04:06through a storm that killed scores of others.
04:08I can personally attest to his fighting skills.
04:13But, should we doubt his motivation,
04:16he will be fighting for the life of his sister.
04:19Leif Erikson.
04:36I ransom your sister to King Canute.
04:40To repay her debt,
04:42you must pledge service to his cause.
04:46Do you accept these terms?
04:47I do.
04:53Then, it is done.
05:01Move.
05:02The King.
05:27One year ago, on my orders,
05:33a decree was sent out
05:36that all Danes living on this island be destroyed
05:40in a most just extermination.
05:45On that fated day,
05:50a group of Norse entered this sanctuary of God
05:53and purposefully set fire to it,
05:57destroying it,
05:59and ultimately themselves
06:01in an act of futile retribution.
06:05Today,
06:07we witness the resurrection
06:10of this house of worship,
06:13restored to its original glory
06:15by me,
06:17Athelred,
06:18and by God's blessing.
06:35You will know something
07:01which you are not sharing with me.
07:08Our spies in the North say
07:09the Vikings are preparing for an invasion.
07:12Damn the nobles.
07:13They swore the Norse were too busy
07:15fighting among themselves
07:16to bother with us,
07:17and I believed them.
07:19You did what needed to be done
07:20to keep them in line.
07:22Yes,
07:22but it's not their heads
07:24the Vikings will want on a pike.
07:26It's mine.
07:27Hmm.
07:31She was right.
07:35She knew they would come.
07:45It was my father's ship.
07:48It's fast,
07:50tough,
07:52and now it's yours.
07:53It's a good boat.
08:10Glad you find it, sir.
08:13So that is the ship I covered.
08:17King Harald of Norway.
08:21Someday.
08:23Come on.
08:53If you're expecting me to thank you, you will be disappointed.
09:10You're welcome, anyway.
09:13I told you what I came for, and you took advantage of me.
09:17I think who took advantage of whom is up for debate.
09:22You could have helped me.
09:23I could have had you killed.
09:25And you didn't either.
09:30What kind of man does that?
09:34A man who is amazed by you.
09:42So why have you come?
09:47You may be gone from Kattegat five months or more.
09:51You have people to say goodbye to.
09:53I'll make sacrifices to Odin for your safer time.
10:11It'll be fine.
10:13You just take care of yourself.
10:14It's good.
10:36Let's see you soon.
10:37Go get them all.
10:44Yes.
10:46And leave.
10:51You take care of him.
10:53I will.
11:01Protect each other.
11:02And you do the same.
11:04And you do the same.
11:21Prince of Norway.
11:22Five months is a long time.
11:35Five months is a long time.
11:35Five months is a long time.

14:14another side
14:18This side.
14:48Let's go.
15:18Let's go.
15:48Let's go.
15:55He is not well, Your Highness.
15:58His cough has deepened with his worry over the coming invasion.
16:02Perhaps you could lessen his fears over the Northmen.
16:06Leave.
16:18Get up, Edmund.
16:40Emma.
16:48They are coming.
16:52I've heard.
16:54With Godwin's help, I have dictated terms for you to present to them.
17:05They always listen to gold.
17:10I have no intention of bargaining with them.
17:16What do you intend to do?
17:20Fight.
17:21I intend to send Edmund to Mercia.
17:26On your orders, he will summon Edric Striona to bring his army to London.
17:31He also will try and take the throne from Edmund.
17:36He will try, but not until after the Vikings have been defeated.
17:40And what about your brother in Normandy?
17:44Will he offer support?
17:46He will not help us until we have ourselves.
17:49I have left you a nightmare.
17:54You married a Norman.
17:56We create nightmares.
18:12So, this is your first Viking raid.
18:16Are you nervous?
18:18My father was a raider.
18:21He told me he was a berserk.
18:23That means he was a mighty warrior.
18:27He killed many men.
18:29Like Harold.
18:31Why did he go to Greenland?
18:33Because he killed Ben.
18:34Even when he wasn't raiding.
18:36He ever killed a man before?
18:39No.
18:40Never had a reason to.
18:46The first time is sometimes difficult.
18:49It's no different to killing any other living people.
18:52The man is different.
18:54He fights back.
18:56So does a polar bear.
18:57So does a polar bear.
19:22Oh dear.
19:23Your highness.
19:24I had no idea you were moving the military operations into the old city.
19:36There's no better fortress for London than the side the Romans chose.
19:40I'm surprised it is so deserted for years.
19:42That is because it is thought to be inhabited by their ghosts.
19:47I don't believe ghosts can hurt me, Godwin.
19:51But I do believe that Vikings can.
19:53But concentrating our forces in the south, where the river's tides and the marshes provide a natural protection, are you sure that is a sound idea?
20:05I am.
20:06Because I'm expecting the Norse to behave exactly like you.
20:11Which is how?
20:13To underestimate me.
20:17Forgive me, your highness.
20:18You summoned me for a reason.
20:20How may I be of service?
20:21I'm sending Edmund to Mercier to enlist Edict Stryona's aid.
20:26Stryona will ask much for that favor.
20:28Which is why you are to accompany the prince and ensure that doesn't happen.
20:33Your highness, may I speak freely?
20:36It is no secret that you have never liked, much less trusted me before.
20:40There are many others that you could send on this mission.
20:42So I trust you with the king to be?
20:44Yes.
20:45Necessity creates unusual allies.
20:48If we do not secure Mercier's help against the Vikings, England is lost.
20:53If England is lost, so are we.
20:58I will not fail you.
21:00Not me.
21:02Us.
21:03It is crucial that Edict Stryona bring his army to London and follow our instructions.
21:16What if he sets conditions for this aid?
21:18Refuse.
21:19Do not allow yourself to be drawn into a negotiation.
21:22But what if he insists?
21:23You're not making a plea for help, your highness.
21:26You're relaying an order from your father, the king.
21:29Listen to Godwin.
21:33My father will not be alive when I return, will he?
21:48No.
21:50When you return, you will be king.
21:54But unless you are successful, you will not have a long rule.
21:57Open the gates!
22:02Show me what you mean, Jan, Olaf.
22:18Since the Romans first built the city, the bridge has been of vital importance.
22:29It connects everything and provides a way to escape, should pressure be brought from the north.
22:35Then we should bring it down.
22:37Not possible.
22:38When I was King Athelred's advisor, I made sure of that.
22:41Now, if we are to crush London, we do what Vikings have never done.
22:46We attack from the south.
22:50There's a reason it's never been done, brother.
22:53The south is nothing but marsh.
22:55Which is why Athelred won't expect it.
22:57How do you know that?
22:58Because I'm the one who convinced him it was impossible.
23:06Secure!
23:07Let's go.
23:24Blow the south!
23:26Blow the south!
23:27Watch out, Christian.
23:35Maybe you should pray to be more careful.
23:38You dreamt me more purpose.
23:40I did not.
23:41I saw you.
23:42Are you calling me a liar?
23:45Ah!
23:46Come here and tell me that.
23:48Ah!
23:49Sit down!
23:51Enro!
23:57Do you have a problem with my order?
24:00I'm fine.
24:04I thought you were a follower of the old gods, like your father.
24:08I am.
24:09Then why take the word of a Christian over my old son?
24:13Because your son is a liar, Yalgoram.
24:16You should hold on.
24:18It's about to get rough.
24:21Blow into it!
24:27Hello, Yal-Hokan.
24:33You are looking to burn a sacrifice for a loved one?
24:36My brother.
24:38He's on one of the ships.
24:40This is a special one.
24:43It is made from the branch of a sacred tree in Uppsala.
24:50Ektrasil.
24:51The world tree is not in Uppsala.
24:55This is probably taken from the tree outside Odin's temple.
24:59It is green summer and winter.
25:01I'm blessed by the priest there.
25:10But I have no money.
25:14I will trade you for your bracelet.
25:18What about my necklace?
25:19Why do you sell this?
25:21Yeah.
25:33Why do you sell this?
25:36I sell whatever suits the soul.
25:40Are you a Christian?
25:42I was born in the old ways.
25:44But I am whatever I have to be today.
25:53Viking people have traveled more than most.
25:57We raided, yes.
26:00But we traded, too.
26:02Catechats is a beneficiary of that trade.
26:07You'll experience different people and beliefs here like no one else.
26:12And you are not threatened by those beliefs?
26:18Look at me.
26:20My grandmother came from a great African family.
26:25My grandfather fell in love with her in Alexandria and brought her here.
26:29Their child, my father, became an even greater warrior.
26:35And now, I am the ruler of Catechats.
26:41All things are possible if our minds are open.
26:44Your faith is very strong, Freydis.
27:14I am sure Aikir and Miran will watch over your brother and friends.
27:23I am sure they will.
27:25There are few today as pure in their beliefs as you.
27:31It is all I know.
27:34My husband was trading in Tromsø.
27:36When his ship was stopped by Christians, my husband was very devout, like you.
27:44When they found that he and his men were believers of the old ways, he was ordered to convert.
27:52He refused.
27:53The Christians decided to make him an example and torture him in front of his men, in hopes that his suffering would encourage them to change their beliefs.
28:04It had the opposite effect.
28:12One by one.
28:16They killed them all.
28:17I am sorry my offering has brought back such memories.
28:34Change is happening.
28:37And we must be ready.
28:38Your Highness.
29:03Are you all right?
29:10I wasn't supposed to be here.
29:13So?
29:14My brothers were.
29:16I didn't think that they would both die and it would happen this way.
29:19I'm not king material.
29:28How do you know?
29:29What?
29:31How do you know you're not precisely the king England needs at this moment?
29:35The fact that I voiced my doubts should be evidence enough of my inadequacy.
29:40It's been my experience that those who never acknowledge their doubts are charlatans.
29:51I believe that a search of one's soul is a sign of strength, not weakness.
29:55Facing doubts or fears is the first step in courage.
29:59What's your greatest fear?
30:03Failure.
30:03It is paralysing.
30:08Do you trust your instincts?
30:11I think so.
30:13If so, there will come a day when your fear of failure will be overwhelmed.
30:18By an instinct to act.
30:21To survive.
30:23If you listen to it, you will succeed.
30:31Good night, Your Highness.
30:32See you in England, friends.
30:51So, no sign of your Greenlander.
30:54Maybe you should make an offering to Ayr for your boat's safe return.
30:58What do you see in this Greenlander that makes you trust him?
31:28I don't know.
31:30Maybe he's courage.
31:34Courage is not rare here.
31:38His is.
31:40It doesn't come from speeches or pounding of shields.
31:44It comes from belief in his own ability and nothing else.
31:49In my experience, that is rare.
31:51Ironside.
32:08Boneless.
32:10Blood axe.
32:12Such great names.
32:14You know, they all have in common, Your Highness.
32:20They're dead.
32:26Tell your father I can give him 5,000 men and 1,000 horses, but it'd be a mistake to send them to London.
32:32Why so?
32:34Merseids have been fighting the Vikings for 200 years, and we've learned a great many things.
32:38I have no doubt that London is Canute's target, but he will attack the city from the north, which means he will march through Mercia.
32:46To defeat him in London, you must first stop him here.
32:52That is not what the Queen Emma believes.
32:56She believes the Vikings will attack elsewhere.
32:59Queen Emma?
32:59Is your father not well?
33:05The King is in excellent health, but his wife, as you know, is a Norman.
33:10What better person to plan the defense of a Viking attack than a descendant of Rollo himself?
33:17Godwin.
33:19I knew a noble named Godwin from Sussex.
33:23My father?
33:25If I'm not mistaken, it didn't end well for him, did it?
33:27You're not talking to my father.
33:30You're talking to me.
33:39The King knows exactly what he's doing.
33:42You think so?
33:45Doesn't sound like that to me.
33:47Sounds like he has no plan, and has placed England's future in the hands of a foreign queen, a boy prince, and an advisor,
33:55whose father destroyed his family name.
33:59Then do nothing.
34:03Do nothing, Edric Striona, if that is your decision.
34:08But be willing to stand by it, because one day I will be king.
34:13And I can promise that I will remember both your doubt and your decision to refuse an order.
34:26Who said I would not obey a summons from the king?
34:30Tell your father and your stepmother.
34:36But Mercia will be there, as ordered.
34:39Let's do it.
34:53Let's do it.
34:55Stay with me.
35:05Let's do it.
35:06Let's do it.
35:07Amen.
35:37We're lost, aren't we?
35:45You've never been to England, and you've lost us.
35:49We're not lost.
35:50Liar!
35:51This is your fault, and the fault of all the Christians and their false gods.
35:56The gods are laughing at us right now.
35:58Shut up, heathen!
36:01What did you say to me?
36:02I said shut up.
36:04You sound like a frightened child.
36:07Stop!
36:11Stop rowing!
36:14What do you see?
36:15It makes you believe that we are lost.
36:17What do I see?
36:20No land!
36:22See, that is where you and I are different.
36:25The sky tells me we are headed west.
36:28Oaks and Gannet's flying high.
36:29Tell me the weather is improving.
36:31And we're in inland.
36:37Then where are the other boats?
36:40The other boats are not my responsibility.
36:45This boat, the one you are on, is my responsibility.
36:52For all you know, the other boats are lost.
36:58Not ours.
37:00Now, we continue.
37:03Or is out in row.
37:06Zilgar!
37:06Stop blaming the Christians for your fears.
37:11Hmm?
37:14Ha ha ha ha ha!
37:17Ha ha ha ha!
37:18Ha ha ha ha!
37:20What are you doing?
37:24The Christians have cursed us!
37:26They all must die!
37:27Here it goes.
37:28I'm taking over the boat!
37:33Let them go!
37:35On hell!
37:35Get the weapons!
37:37Let them go!
37:38What, Greenlander?
37:40You're going to kill me?
37:42I am not a bear.
37:43And you are not a Viking.
37:47I don't think you have the stomach to kill me.
37:53Polar bear thinks the same thing before he dies.
37:55When I prove this out, you will be dead.
38:10Before I do, tell the young man what you see.
38:15Tell them.
38:23Who's next?
38:25What did Stryona mean when he called your father the destroyer of your family name?
38:32My father was an elderman.
38:34When I was your age, he took 24 of the king's ships and used them for his own greed.
38:39For that act, he was stripped of his lands, his wealth, and his title, and was imprisoned until his death.
38:46How was it then that you are now one of my father's closest advisors?
38:49Because he never blamed me for my father's failure.
38:53And I provide him with something he cannot get from his nobles.
38:57Which is?
38:58The truth, your highness.
39:01The truth, your highness.
39:10Listen.
39:13What does that mean?
39:16It means you are now our ruler.
39:17All hail King Edmund!
39:21All hail King Edmund!
39:23All hail King Edmund!
39:25God bless the king.
39:28And God bless England.
39:29God bless the king.
39:31God bless England.
39:33Now comes the hard part.
39:34Why have you returned my knife?
39:52You will need it for your pilgrimage.
39:55I'm sending you to Uppsala.
39:57To seek your destiny.
40:03I don't understand.
40:05Uppsala is the most secret site in a Viking world.
40:08Everything there is holy.
40:11Every nine years we make sacrifices there to the gods that protect us.
40:15And you, who have traveled so far, you must go there and see it for yourself.
40:20Before the Christian tide washes it away.
40:24Is that really possible?
40:26Some say that Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, will happen within our lifetime.
40:32And do you believe that?
