05:38them. Protect them. I'm sure, Father, that that was always your intention.
05:45Count Odo, I am determined not to quit the city. Not in its most
06:15urgent hour of need. The next few days and weeks will test the faith of all of us. I
06:30pray to God Almighty that not one of us is found wanting in either courage or belief.
06:45You have many Christian souls in your care. I carry this burden with a light heart, knowing
07:02I share it with our Lord and with your Highness. But I must ask your Highness, if you have appealed
07:07to your brother, the Eastern Emperor, for help, he could surely provide an army for our relief.
07:12I will not ask either of my brothers for help. I must prove myself better than my brothers,
07:21Count Odo. And these Northmen have provided the opportunity to feed them. And I will be seen
07:33as a worthy successor to my grandfather, to the great Charlemagne.
07:38You see, Count Odo, that your burden is really much heavier than you imagined.
07:43You see, Count Odo, that your burden is really much heavier than you imagined.
07:56You see, Count Odo, that your burden is really much heavier than you imagined.
08:03You see, count Odo, that your burden is really much heavier than you imagined.
08:25Let's go.
08:55Let's go.
09:25Let's go.
09:56I'm glad to hear it.
10:00There is something I wanted to ask you.
10:04Judith is King Aylor's daughter.
10:07What does she think of her father?
10:10And what would she think if we decided to overthrow him?
10:14You would really do that?
10:18Of course.
10:19How else would I become Brett Walder?
10:22King of kings, king of all England.
10:24Of course I must overthrow him.
10:26I just wondered how upset your wife would be.
10:29From what Judith has told me, there is no love lost between them.
10:37Yeah.
10:39That is what I thought.
10:41Do you plan to invade?
10:43Not initially.
10:44I have certain plans in place, various suggestions to invite chaos, including perhaps assassination.
10:52My God.
10:53Father, Aayla is your ally and your friend.
10:56Oh, no.
10:57Not my friend.
10:59I don't have any friends.
11:02It's better that way.
11:03Come here, Alfred.
11:10Come to your grandfather.
11:14What a magnificent boy.
11:18I wonder how he is.
11:23Who?
11:25Athelstan.
11:26That name again.
11:27Why must you forever bring him to mind?
11:29For when I think of that filthy apostate, it reminds me how my wife whored with him,
11:34and how much more she should have suffered for it.
11:35Athelstan.
11:36This is not to do with you, father.
11:38This is between me and this Jezebel.
11:40This harlot!
11:48Leave.
11:49Now.
12:06Here.
12:18This is not to do with you.
12:48You wanted to talk to me like that.
12:53I miss him.
12:57Athelstan.
13:01I wish he was here with us.
13:06Since you carry his cross, he still is here with us.
13:13He would have been useful.
13:16We would manage without him.
13:18Well.
13:27We have no choice now.
13:29Father.
13:37Father.
13:37Forgive me.
13:39Oh!
13:42Holy Father.
13:44Forgive me.
13:46For behold.
13:47I am a miserable sinner.
13:50I must speak with the prince.
13:53Prince Aethelwulf?
13:54Hey.
13:55Prince Aethelwulf.
13:56You've interrupted the sacred.
14:08There is no excuse.
14:10There is one, my lord.
14:11Death waits for no man.
14:16Who is this?
14:17He sent nobles with Queen Quintrith to look after our interests in Mercia.
14:20What happened to you?
14:28The Queen repudiated the contract she signed with us.
14:34She wants to rule alone.
14:38She tried to kill all of us that were sent to safeguard the interests of Wesson's.
14:42But she is quite mad.
14:46Speak no more.
14:49Rest, my lord.
14:50Oh, no, I didn't get mad at him.
15:06Oh, shit.
15:07It's far.
15:08What do you have to come to sleep?
15:09Bring those barrels.
15:10Oh, right now.
15:11Here I am.
15:12Bring them all.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:13Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:14Hmm.
15:15Hmm.
15:15Hmm.
15:16Hmm.
15:16Hmm.
15:16Hmm.
15:16Hmm.
15:17Hmm.
15:17Hmm.
15:18Hmm.
15:18Hmm.
15:18Hmm.
15:18Hmm.
15:19Hmm.
15:19Hmm.
15:19Hmm.
15:20I know we've had our differences of late.
15:28Perhaps it is my fault.
15:29I have not been myself.
15:33I want you to know, Floki, that I need you.
15:37Now more than ever.
15:40I have always believed in you.
15:48That is right.
15:49I want you to be in command of this raid.
15:54Me?
15:54Sit, sit, sit.
15:57Take it, sit.
16:07King Ragnar, we have reached Paris.
16:10Now, we all want to know what...
16:12...the king...
16:12...the king...
16:14...the king...
16:14...my oldest friend has asked me to take command.
16:29So, uh...
16:30...how do we best attack the city?
16:35Some of us have taken a closer look at the city from farther up the bank, and we suggest a plan.
16:51To mount simultaneous attacks both from the water and from the land.
16:56I will lead an assault on the tower and the gates of the city.
17:00We will attack the gates together.
17:01I said I will lead the assault.
17:03We may need the tools Erlander made.
17:05I will make the decision if and when we need to make it.
17:07I trust old Karls to make it.
17:09I don't think you were listening.
17:16At the same time as the attack at the gates, there will also be a river-borne attack.
17:21The ships will be filled with warriors and means of scaling.
17:23We will beach beneath the walls.
17:24We will climb up and gain energy to the city that way as well.
17:27In which case, Floki, you will be responsible for constructing whatever it is we need to scale these walls.
17:36Don't you worry about me, Donald.
17:39I will make something truly astonishing.
17:41Just wait and see.
17:45All those who agree with the plan, say aye.
17:49Aye.
17:49Aye.
17:49Aye.
17:50Aye.
17:51Aye.
17:51Aye.
17:57Aye.
17:58Aye.
17:59Aye.
18:00Aye.
18:01Aye.
18:02Aye.
18:03Aye.
18:04Aye.
18:05Aye.
18:06Aye.
18:07Aye.
18:08Aye.
18:09Aye.
18:10Aye.
18:11Aye.
18:12Aye.
18:13Aye.
18:14Aye.
18:15Aye.
18:16Aye.
18:17Aye.
18:18Aye.
18:19Aye.
18:20Aye.
18:21Aye.
18:22Aye.
18:23Aye.
18:24Aye.
18:25Aye.
18:26Aye.
18:27Please take care.
18:52Take my baby.
18:53What are you talking about?
18:58I cannot care for her.
19:00Of course you can.
19:02I can't.
19:04I want her to be like your sons.
19:06I want her to be Viking.
19:10What does it matter what you call someone?
19:15Whether she is Viking or not Viking is not important.
19:18What is important is that you love and nurture her.
19:21For if you were fortunate, she would grow up healthy and give you grandchildren to be proud of.
19:31Think of Bjorn.
19:35I am.
19:36This is why I want you to raise his daughter.
19:43Bjorn loves you.
19:47Bjorn will be much happier and better off without me.
19:52That is not true.
19:53It is what I believe.
19:54It is a very selfish thing to believe.
19:57I cannot help it.
20:06Your daughter needs you.
20:10She needs her mother.
20:13You must not talk this way.
20:18Pray to Freya.
20:21Freya will comfort you as she comforts me.
20:23We women bear heavy burdens.
20:30But it is not to be helped.
20:33And even when we are dealt with harshly,
20:37remember,
20:38it is the gods who have woven our destinies.
20:42Not ourselves.
20:42My son,
20:53I have another mission for you on our behalf.
20:56You must go to Mercia
20:57and persuade Queen Quintrith
21:00that her interests and ours
21:02are one and the same.
21:04She has killed six of our nobles.
21:08Yes.
21:08That is certainly
21:11unfortunate.
21:14And she ought to be punished.
21:17So much for gratitude.
21:19What kind of a world
21:21do we live in
21:22when the friends of our friends
21:23kill our friends?
21:29But still,
21:30there is a way
21:31for this deluded queen
21:33to find some redemption.
21:35There is.
21:36My son,
21:42Mercia has been weakened
21:44by years of civil wars.
21:46She is no longer what she was
21:48and must acknowledge
21:49the power of Wessex.
21:51Without Wessex,
21:52Mercia is now,
21:53more than ever,
21:54at the mercy of the Northmen,
21:56as well as other
21:57Saxon neighbors.
22:00Like Northumbria.
22:01Precisely
22:02like Northumbria.
22:04Yes.
22:06Those closest
22:07but unexpected
22:08can sow a terrible harvest.
22:11I charge you
22:13to go to Mercia
22:14and tell the queen
22:16that she may be forgiven
22:18for slaughtering our nobles,
22:19but only if she begs mercy
22:22and reconfirms
22:23her subjugation
22:24to Wessex.
22:25If not,
22:27we will show her
22:27the iron fist.
22:29We will invade
22:30and we will destroy her.
22:32And her limbs
22:33being fastened
22:34to four horses,
22:35her body
22:35will be torn apart.
22:41Or something
22:42of that sort.
22:44But also tell her
22:45that we have
22:46a repugnance
22:47for such measures
22:48being Christians.
22:49and then
23:12is
23:12possible?
23:13Tovi.
23:25Tovi, I should have spoken before.
23:35Why?
23:43You know why.
23:45It doesn't matter.
23:47I am not with child, neither am I a child.
23:52I took advantage.
23:55So did I.
24:02Ah.
24:08This is for you.
24:13What's that?
24:25Nothing.
24:27Let me see.
24:28No.
24:29You're hurting me.
24:36It's far too good for you.
24:37Oh.
24:43Bye.
24:44God bless you.
24:55Bye.
24:56Bye.
24:56Bye.
24:57Bye.
24:57Bye.
24:58Bye.
24:59Bye.
26:01I regret not sending you to safety in time.
26:05It is much on my mind.
26:07I did not want to be sent away.
26:09I wanted to stay here with you.
26:12There is nowhere I would rather be than here, in Paris, beside you, in your hour of need.
26:18But I must tell you both.
26:19I have been much about this city.
26:21The people of Paris are frightened to death by this pagan army.
26:25So far, only their firm belief in God's grace and protection prevents them from becoming hysterical and violent.
26:31I am aware of the need to pacify and control the population. Thank you, Princess Gisla.
26:35Well, perhaps you herself might have to reassure them that we are well protected and have enough supplies to withstand a long siege.
26:43Though, God willing, it will not come to that.
26:45You may rely upon me to do everything possible to persuade the people of our ultimate victory.
26:50Even your presence in the city, Princess, helps them to believe in that.
26:54Yet it is for my father to lead us to that victory.
26:58Is it not, father?
27:07I must to bed.
27:09I am tired.
27:12But I am glad we have had this conversation.
27:16And I am also very glad that I have placed my faith in you, Count Odo.
27:21As well as in God Almighty.
27:25For the successful outcome of this matter.
27:38I must, too, go to bed.
27:39Of course.
27:41And yet, I beg you to stay a moment and listen to me.
27:46You once refused my offer of marriage.
27:51What did I achieve?
27:54What could I offer you?
27:56But then I heard how many other offers of marriage you had declined from men far richer, far grander than me.
28:02And so it gave me hope.
28:06And my hope is that once I have successfully managed the defense of Paris,
28:10and the defeat of the Northmen,
28:12and gained a new and high reputation,
28:15you will look again at my proposal.
28:20If you save Paris,
28:22I will forever be in your debt.
28:25But your first duty, Count Odo,
28:28is to concentrate on the defeat of the Northmen.
28:31On that, I'm sure we both agree.
28:33I'm sorry.
28:57I'm sorry.
28:57It needs to be more on an angle.
29:22You must be hungry.
29:27I have 40-something to eat.
29:29I'm not hungry.
29:30My work nourishes me.
29:32I have so many responsibilities now, Helga.
29:36Everyone is depending on me.
29:38My inventions will allow us to enter Paris.
29:42You will see, Helga,
29:43our warriors will storm the walls,
29:45and we will all win the greatest renown.
29:48Especially me,
29:50Floki the boatbuilder.
29:52Floki the tower.
29:55You maker.
30:00Of course,
30:01it's not me making these towers.
30:05It's the gods
30:05using my poor hands.
30:09Do you know why
30:11they are helping me, Helga?
30:13Do you know why?
30:15It's because I gave them
30:16a great sacrifice.
30:18I appeased them.
30:20I delighted them.
30:22I filled them with joy.
30:23Do you know what I did, Helga?
30:25Do you know what I did?
30:28You killed Arthurston.
30:35Tim!
30:35Tim!
30:43Who are you?
30:55You know who I am.
30:57Now take me to her.
30:58Not until you tell me the purpose of your visit.
31:00The Queen will need to know.
31:01Queen Quenthrith knows perfectly well
31:04that the son of King Ecbert of Wessex
31:06wishes to speak to her.
31:07She would certainly be ill-advised
31:09if she refused to meet me.
31:12Look, you!
31:16Who are you told?
31:17We might spare your life.
31:19Judith.
31:41you spoke before in the baths of the Romans I was surprised most of our
31:52people know nothing about them I still know very little but I was always
31:56curious I have some words here from the Romans themselves

36:33do you want to
36:45save me
36:47into temptation
36:49don't
36:51deliver me
36:53from evil
36:55good night
36:56sweet dreams
36:59Come.
37:20Prince Aethelwolf, may I present to you my son, Prince Magnus.
37:27Hello, darling.
37:29That is a northern name that is not one of ours.
37:32How clever are you?
37:34Yes, he's named after his father.
37:37His father?
37:38I think you may know him.
37:40Ragnar Lothbrok.
37:46Our nobles, before you kill them, never reported that you were with child, still less that the father was Ragnar Lothbrok.
37:54Nevertheless, he is Ragnar's son.
37:58And nothing will stop him from returning to these shores, both for Magnus and for his settlement.
38:03We have destroyed his settlement.
38:05Then he will return with vengeance upon you.
38:12In which case it would inconvenience us a great deal if he were to find a ready ally here in Mercia.
38:16So whether or not this poor child is Ragnar's son makes no difference.
38:23He cannot help you.
38:25And you can't threaten us with him.
38:27Gods.
38:35Queen Quintryth, you would be unwise to kill us.
38:41It would give my father the very pretext he needs.
38:43A pretext to invade Mercia and become its king.
38:47He may even have been prepared to sacrifice me to attain his ends.
38:56So if you value your life and that of your son, then I suggest you sign the documents we have brought with us.
