00:01Previously on Vikings
00:03What did you name?
00:04Edou
00:08Who sent you?
00:09Who sent you?
00:10My destiny is to be with you
00:12I am prepared to defend Paris to the death
00:17You have betrayed your all kinds
00:19I came to deliver my precious son into your hands
00:21Teach him to be a viking
00:25I see some gross and indecent familiarity between you and your father-in-law
00:29You don't own me, father, nor does any man
00:33My name is Harald, but my people call me King Finehair
00:36Why have you come here?
00:37By making myself king of all Norway
00:39In order to become king of all Norway
00:42You would have to overthrow my husband
00:59I could love you
01:02If I had a voice that would sing
01:08After the night when I wake up
01:13I've seen what tomorrow brings
01:18I want you to go
01:19For my life
01:20Like the night when I wake up
01:21For my life
01:23The time when I wake up
01:24And I wake up
01:25And I wake up
01:26That's why I wake up
01:27I'm hot
01:28Because I wake up
01:29I wake up
01:30I wake up
01:31And I wake up
01:32And I wake up
01:33I wake up
01:35I wake up
01:36That was impressive.
02:03I modified the Frankish weapon.
02:06It has much greater range now.
02:08The Franks would not expect to be attacked by their own weapon.
02:11Freya!
02:12We take them there!
02:13We take them there!
02:14We take them there!
02:15We take them there!
02:16We take them there!
02:17Loosen! Loosen!
02:18Get in and out!
02:23Bjorn must have murdered our berserker.
02:25It's a pity.
02:27It doesn't matter.
02:28Really?
02:29How can you say so?
02:30Because we have eyes.
02:32In Ragnar's household.
02:33Anything we need to know, we'll find out.
02:35Bjorn's weakness.
02:36Ragnar's weakness.
02:37Time to strike.
02:39Trutuvi.
02:40Of course, Trutuvi.
02:41Otherwise, I'll kill her, child.
02:44She knows I'll do it, too.
02:53Lagertha must never know what we did.
02:55What were you two talking about?
02:56Erlander was telling me how he was forgiven Torvi for leaving him.
03:10Really?
03:11Hmm.
03:12That young man still surprises me sometimes.
03:14I, too, have a surprise.
03:16I am a child.
03:18That makes me so very happy.
03:20Me too.
03:21More than I can say.
03:22Although it is still early days.
03:23Marry me, Lagertha.
03:24Marry me.
03:25Marry me.
03:26I've always known that we were fated to be together.
03:29Lagertha.
03:30I am a child.
03:31I am a child.
03:36That makes me so very happy.
03:37Me too.
03:38More than I can say.
03:42Although it is still early days.
03:45Marry me, Lagertha.
03:47Marry me.
03:48I've always known that we were fated to be together.
03:54Lagertha.
03:55I'm sorry
04:00Don't be sorry
04:01Don't ever be sorry
04:04Say that you'll marry me
04:07Who is he?
04:20You heard
04:21He's a king
04:22From Tantrum
04:24Wherever that is
04:25And you trust him?
04:28No
04:29I don't trust him either
04:32Why do you not care for your daughter, Siki?
04:41I care for her
04:43It just reminds me of things I'd rather forget
04:46And what kind of man
04:48Takes a mother away from her child?
04:54You tell me
04:55You tried to take me away from my mother
04:58That is not the way it went
05:02If you remember
05:04Your mother left me
05:06You left me
05:11It is not easy being a father
05:21It is even harder being a husband
05:24Maybe I have failed at both
05:27No
05:32I have definitely failed at being a husband
05:36How many boats and men do you have?
05:56Twenty boats
06:01About six hundred men
06:04I told Ragnar mine is a small kingdom
06:08For now
06:10And when will they arrive?
06:17They must already be on their way
06:18My brother Huffton is bringing them
06:22And is your brother like you?
06:26No
06:27He's much worse
06:30He's much worse
06:35You have such ambitions
06:38What else is there?
06:42What are we here for except to achieve fame?
06:45Just like your father
06:46Isn't that what you want too?
06:50You're a love look
06:51Be honest
06:52You don't know me
06:54And fame
06:56Won't make your small kingdom any bigger
07:00Open the gates
07:28Wherefore
07:34We are met to decide
07:38How to deal with Mercia
07:39I am almost decided
07:42That the only way now
07:43Is a full scale
07:45Invasion
07:45Of that kingdom
07:47And yet
07:48If there were
07:49Some other way
07:50Of restoring Queen Quenthrith
07:51To her throne
07:52I think we must explore it
07:54Have you any more idea
07:56Of the identity
07:57Of the nobleman
07:58You knew as W?
07:59Let me help you
08:00Please sire
08:01The warring factions
08:03Of my kingdom
08:04Are always known
08:04By the first letter
08:05Of the leader's name
08:07W stands for Wigston
08:09He has royal blood
08:11As well as being
08:12One of the most powerful
08:13Warlords in Mercia
08:14Yet he's obviously
08:15Not part of the
08:16Runic council
08:16No
08:17Wigston would find it
08:19Unbearable
08:19To belong to any group
08:21His interests are always personal
08:23Then you don't trust him
08:25Trust him
08:26My lord
08:27No one should ever
08:29Trust Wigston
08:30So there is
08:31No dealing with him
08:33Absolutely not
08:34The only way forward
08:35The only choice now
08:37Is for both of you
08:39Noble kings
08:40To raise your armies
08:41And invade Mercia
08:43And rid my kingdom
08:44Of all the factions
08:46Who want to ruin me
08:47Me
08:48The only legitimate ruler
08:50Of that poor
08:50Ravaged
08:51Raped
08:51And abused land
08:52I agree with the queen
08:56There is
08:58No other choice now
09:00Huh
09:03So it seems
09:07Very well
09:08We shall take your advice
09:10Wife
09:36Come to bed
09:39I said
09:42No
09:45Why not
09:50I don't want to
09:53Very well
10:03Go sleep
10:07With my father
10:09You whore
10:11Yes
10:12Yes
10:12And why don't you
10:13Go and sleep
10:14With your mistress
10:15The queen
10:15Gives you another reason
10:17To flagellate yourself
10:18Go on
10:19Hit me
10:20Hit me
10:21If it pleases you
10:23Husband
10:23But it makes no difference
10:25Either to you
10:26Or me
10:27You are husband
10:31To me
10:31In name
10:32Only
10:33As I
10:34Am wife
10:34To you
10:35Let your other
10:37Wives free
10:37To do as you will
10:39We had an argument
11:08I thought
11:09He called me
11:11Your whore
11:12Which I am
11:14And have freely
11:15Chosen to be
11:16Do you want me to leave?
11:22This was my wife's ring
11:40My wife died
11:43In childbirth
11:44I cannot tell you
11:47The pain of it
11:48And I was resolved
11:49Never to marry again
11:52But I would like you
11:54To wear it
11:57If you will
12:02The forts
12:14Have been built
12:14According to your
12:15Instructions
12:16Your grace
12:16Eventually
12:17There will be
12:17An iron chain
12:18Which can be
12:19Raised between them
12:19To prevent the passage
12:20Of any boat upriver
12:21You should still
12:22Place some boats
12:22Beyond this barrier
12:23In case they break through
12:24Hopefully
12:25They will be
12:26I'll have to do so
12:26You don't know my people
12:28Like I do
12:29You don't recognize
12:30Any barriers
12:31Except as obstacles
12:32To be overcome
12:33What has become clear
12:34To both the emperor
12:35And myself
12:35Is that if we were
12:37To lose Paris
12:37We would lose everything
12:38But then the enemy
12:40Would command the mine
12:42The sand
12:42And the yon rivers
12:43And the country
12:44Will lie open
12:44As far as ramps
12:45We must hold Paris
12:46Whatever the cost
12:47There's no alternative
12:48No other choice
12:50When my brother returns
12:52Everything will be decided here
12:54I cannot wait
13:03To take control
13:04Of my northern lands
13:05And set up my own court
13:06You have some business
13:07Here first
13:08Remember
13:08Some family business
13:11I know
13:12A man can dream
13:13Can he not
13:14Dancing naked on the sand
13:16In any case
13:17My father needs you
13:18He needs a strong man
13:20To support him
13:21And to guide him
13:22Yes, Count Odo
13:24I don't like Count Odo
13:26Nor do I trust him
13:28Of course
13:29It's possible
13:31That he could die
13:31In the fighting
13:32Slain by some unknown assailant
13:34And then the emperor
13:36Would just have to rely
13:36More on you
13:37Only a coward
13:40Kills a man
13:43By stabbing him
13:45By stabbing him
13:45In the back
13:46That is what a viking
13:47Would say
13:47But you're no longer
13:49A viking
13:49In Francia
13:51We do certain things
13:52Differently
13:52That is something
13:54You'll have to learn
13:55My love
13:55Something you'll
13:57Certainly have to learn
13:59You asked for a private audience
14:24Why
14:29Your highness
14:30Forgive me
14:31I am reluctant
14:33To discuss matters
14:34Which relate directly
14:35To my superior
14:36You mean
14:37Count Odo
14:38Then absolve yourself
14:41Of any guilt
14:41And just say
14:43What you have to say
14:44Highness
14:45I am troubled
14:46That you always
14:47Trust his word
14:48Why
14:50Should I not
14:53Trust his word
14:54Because he is not
14:55Always worth believing
14:57Why pray
14:59Is he not worth
15:00Believing
15:01Because he is ambitious
15:03Ambitious
15:04Beyond ambitious
15:05So that even
15:07An emperor's crown
15:08Would not sit
15:09Untidily
15:10Upon his head
15:10An emperor's crown
15:21I cannot believe it
15:28What are you saying
15:30Do you have any proof of this
15:33I have the word
15:33Of his mistress
15:34And as your highness knows
15:37A man will always
15:38Divulge the truth
15:39First to his mistress
15:41And only afterwards
15:42If at all
15:44To his wife
15:45Very well
15:47Let me talk
15:49To his mistress
15:50For God's sake
16:03How should I trust
16:05The evidence
16:05Of this woman
16:06Because this woman
16:08Is my sister
16:09Is it true
16:17Yes
16:19Your highness
16:20And
16:21Does
16:22Count
16:22Oddo
16:23Talk
16:24Freely
16:25Of his
16:26Ambitions
16:27Yes he does
16:29Very freely
16:31His ambition
16:37To replace me
16:40To become
16:43Emperor
16:45Yes
16:48Exactly
16:48His ambition
16:51To become emperor
16:53Then
16:55Then I beg you
16:58Please

17:02To Count Oddo

17:07Is treachery

22:13why would you doubt me
22:15you've heard me speak plainly
22:18and in public
22:19I doubt you for one reason only
22:22and that is that you and I are somewhat alike
22:25then do not judge yourself too harshly
22:29Lord
22:31Lord
22:43Lord, you know me for a sinner, and I think you have already decided to cast me out into
23:07the darkness, like a fallen angel, to suffer in purgatory or the fires of hell for all eternity.
23:20Thank you, Lord, that I can look upon such scenes with equanimity,
23:26that I do not dream in the dead of night of returning to your light and the promises of
23:32heaven. Am I not a man like other men?
23:37And yet, I would sup with the devil if he would show me how to achieve my earthly goals.
23:51Your kingdom, Lord, as you have said, is not of this world, but my kingdom is.
24:38You're on Ironside. Come and sit with me.
24:47We should talk to one another.
24:52You don't trust me.
24:55I have no reason to trust you.
24:57You have told me of your ambitions.
25:03I will never give you any cause to kill me.
25:07That is not for you to say.
25:11I may find car, it's why there's me not.
25:14Who knows?
25:21But for now, anyway, we are allies.
25:27And we shall go together to Paris.
25:31And we shall fight together. Is it not so?
25:35You and Ragnar need my warriors.
25:37You need my ships.
25:41I can't wait for Paris.
25:43You're on Ironside.
25:44I cannot wait.
25:46We shall destroy those Christian folk.
25:49They have seen nothing yet.
25:51We are the masters now.
25:53Is it not so?
25:53Is it not so?
25:55Is it not so?
25:58No.
26:59This is my brother, Halfdan.
27:03Meet the notorious King Ragnar.
27:08It's a great honor.
27:13When do we sail for Paris?
27:15You say me get to fight?
27:17Yes, it's true.
27:19Not just for the sake of fighting, but for the beauty of it.
27:28And against the Christians, yes.
27:30I hate the Christians.
27:32In the name of Odin, I would kill them all.
27:33You'll have the opportunity to kill a great number of them.
27:40Once we reach Paris.
27:41Let's go.
27:42Let's go.
27:43Let's go.
27:44Let's go.
27:45Let's go.
27:46Let's go.
28:00What's that?
28:30They'll be wondering where you are.
28:40I doubt it.
29:00What are you thinking about?
29:08Paris.
29:11You must be excited to be going back.
29:15No.
29:20I feel so old.
29:25When I was young, I had the passion to win.
29:28But now, with age and all that comes with it,
29:35I have lost a desire and a strength.
29:52A few years ago, I established a settlement in a distant country
29:56where I took many of my people and friends
29:58to make a new life for themselves.
30:05But shortly after my departure,
30:07they were all slaughtered, their homes destroyed and burned.
30:10And I live with such guilt because of it.
30:23And nobody knows.
30:24My father stamped her.
30:43They say he left Kata Kata boy.
31:01They say he left Kata Kata boy.
31:14And came back a man.
31:16Kill a bear with his bare hands.
31:19With his own hands?
31:20Who is that?
31:39It is Floki, the boat builder.
31:42For some reason, no one will tell me he's fallen out with King Ragnar.
31:45Ask him.
31:49Floki, boat builder.
31:51Sit down with us.
31:53Yes, Floki.
31:54Sit down.
31:55Make room.
32:01Both of you, join us.
32:03Fill the horns.
32:04Stop.
32:04This is my younger brother, Havdan.
32:07He's keen to know you.
32:09All right.
32:09Shit, you are the genius that built the boats that changed our world
32:18and helped make Ragnar so famous.
32:20Why would he fall out with someone like you?
32:23Because I killed his pet, Christian.
32:26Floki, let me kill you.
32:28Skull.
32:31Two new friendships.
32:33Skull.
32:34Skull.
32:35Skull.
32:36Skull.
32:37Skull.
32:37Skull.
32:38Skull.
32:39Skull.
33:39I thought you want to play.
33:52I thought you were going to play.
34:22I thought you were going to play.
34:52I thought you were going to play.
35:52What is that?
35:59Can I see?
36:05Where did you find this?
36:06I took it from someone.
36:08Why are you so interested?
36:13I want to talk to you.
36:14What about?
36:18Us.
36:18We have moments when I feel so close to you.
36:23Especially when you're inside me,
36:24but then you don't want to talk,
36:26and I wonder why you really came for me
36:27and took me away from my child.
36:37Tori.
36:37I talked to you.
36:44By the way,

38:00Wherever I am,
38:03I don't ever want to forget how you looked on our wedding day.
