00:31She says she loves me.
00:35I swear, she says she loves me.
00:37She would.
00:38It's a trick.
00:38She's a war.
00:39No.
00:41She's past that.
00:41What she loves is your silver.
00:43Is that the name of his cock?
00:47I wish to marry her.
00:48I wish you to kill Danes and survive the night.
00:51We're the only chance the villagers have.
00:56They have begun.
01:12Well, Elgin, pass me the flask.
01:31If you wish to live, boy, take your hand away from your sword.
01:47There will be no more than 30 raiders.
01:50We hide and we wait.
01:53We attack on my command, not before.
01:56You all heard the Lord.
01:57We find cover.
02:10Come on.
02:11Come on.
02:12Take care of that.

12:03i have hanged many men just lately
12:05raiders
12:06danes
12:07and
12:07already dead
12:08lord
12:09i am speaking of a saxon man
12:10a man of cook home
12:11of wessex
12:13that is why you are here
12:14amongst other concerns
12:18that man was a thief lord
12:20sinful to the bone
12:21you hanged him without trial
12:23he was guilty
12:25three times over
12:26it is the purpose of a trial to determine guilt
12:28people must witness justice being done
12:31then i shall arrange a trial
12:32it's a little bit late for that i fear
12:34has there been a complaint lord
12:37there are laws
12:38carefully written laws
12:39and if you wish to remain an elder man
12:40you will adhere to them
12:41you shall not impose your pagan ideals within my kingdom
12:44we are west of whatling street not east
12:48yes lord
12:49we do not cross over into daneland
12:51we do not cross over into daneland
12:52we do not cross over into daneland law
12:52in mind nor body nor spirit
12:54no lord
12:58my nephew
13:00ethelwald
13:00he was
13:02well he was seen doing just that
13:05leaving wessex
13:06crossing through mercia
13:07from west to east
13:07are you aware of this
13:10i'm not
13:13when ethelwald was here
13:14he mentioned nothing of crossing into daneland
13:16what did he mention
13:19he mentioned you lord
13:20and how you took his crown
13:22ethelwald is permanently idle
13:24my advice is the same as it has always been
13:26you should put him on trial
13:28and then kill him
13:30should the devil begin to whisper in his ear
13:32that i may have no choice

14:29Besides the man you strung up, how many of the raiders did you kill?
14:33Killed about 30 men in total.
14:35In fact, the village.
14:37Which was in Mercia.
14:38Lord, we hear the screams at night.
14:40Mercia's weak.
14:41His people have no protection from the Danes.
14:44Mercia is disorganized and that will change.
14:47There will be boroughs.
14:51What is that?
14:53That structure, then.
14:55It's a place for prayer, Lord.
14:58A church, Utrecht.
15:00Not quite, Lord.
15:01It's a shack.
15:03The cross attached.
15:05If it is for the purpose of prayer, then it is a church.
15:08Lord, the ship is near.
15:11Traders.
15:13Perhaps you'd like a moment to pray, Lord?
15:17I'll need to watch the trader.
15:19Yes.
15:20Yes, I would like that.
15:33Lord, I was just thinking about you.
15:36My prayers, is what I mean.
15:39Thank you, Hild.
15:41Please continue.
15:42Do not let me disturb your peace.
15:44Would you care to sit with me?
15:46In peace, Lord?
15:48I would, Hild.
15:49Lord, I will.
16:04May I ask?
16:06Have you found your lasting peace?
16:10I am near, Lord.
16:13I feel more content here with God and with my sword.
16:16Courage without the sword is the more difficult path.
16:20It must, in time, become the only path.
16:26I pray you find your peace sooner than I.
16:30Thank you, Lord.
16:33You, stay with the ship.
16:38Godwin, I was expecting you days ago.
16:42You're carrying the axe heads.
16:44I am, Lord.
16:45Frank you're made.
16:46We've split an oak tree.
16:48How many?
16:49How many do you need?
16:53My man saw warriors support your ship.
16:59Is this true?
17:03Free men only, Lord.
17:05It is a Northman.
17:07He wishes to speak with you.
17:09Alone.
17:11I trust this Northman.
17:12He says that you know him.
17:14His name is Eric.
17:15He has a brother, Siegfried.
17:18Kinnon.
17:19But son of trouble, fire the ship.
17:22There'll be no need for fire, Lord.
17:25Cidric, fetch me a whole bunch of torches.
17:30I'd like to be prepared.
17:43Utrecht of Bebbanburg.
17:46They are lost in Wessex once again.
17:49I'm sworn.
17:51To King Alfred.
17:54Just why I'm here.
17:57Why are you here?
17:58I'm not looking to fight.
18:01Not yet.
18:02Can you believe I'm traveling to meet with a dead man?
18:05You deal in sorcery now?
18:06It is my fate.
18:07Or so I'm told.
18:10You have my word that I will make my appointment in mercy,
18:12and then I shall return to Francia.
18:15Siegfried is in Francia?
18:16He is.
18:17But not for much longer.
18:19My brother is restless.
18:22We have grown strong in the years since Northumbria.
18:25We have a fleet now.
18:26Nineteen ships.
18:28But you will sail to work.
18:30Oh, we have no firm plan, other than to listen to Bjorn.
18:35The dead man.
18:36He's safe without surprise, Utrecht.
18:38I think you might have gotten wind of this ghost.
18:41He speaks the words of the three spinners.
18:43We cannot ignore him.
18:44We.
18:45You and I.
18:47After his defeat at Atherton, the Earl Guthrum rejected our gods,
18:50and they are angry.
18:52They want revenge.
18:55I believe we have been chosen.
19:01You will receive the invitation.
19:03You shall see for yourself, I'm sure.
19:05What if I refuse to meet with this ghost?
19:08That is a matter for the three spinners and the gods.
19:12What if I believe this ghost to be a trap?
19:15To be Siegfried wanting to kill me?
19:18You have my word that it is not.
19:20I swear.
19:22All that we want is Utrecht or Bebbenberg at our side.
19:27Now, am I allowed to pass to keep my own appointment?
19:32You are.
19:34A safe journey.
19:37All the way back to Francia.
19:40Utrecht Rangerson.
19:41You will always have my respect.
19:49But do not forget, you were raised as a dame.
19:59Come, Sir Chief.
20:00Come, Sir Chief.
20:04The broth was suitable, Lord.
20:05The broth was a delight, please, sir.
20:07As is the ale.
20:08You should moderate, Odder.
20:09You have a ladder to climb to find your bed.
20:11You can always be carried, Lord.
20:12Wouldn't be the first time.
20:14I guarantee it won't be the last time.
20:17Lord, you make me out to be a drunk.
20:20Though, my head will be sore in the morning.
20:22I know it.
20:23Well, that's ale for breakfast, Lord.
20:25The only cure.
20:27That's what I'm saying.
20:53That's what I'm saying.
20:57It's as good a man as Æthelred.
20:58You tread you speak of matters.
20:59You do not understand matters that do not concern you.
21:02The safety of Wessex concerns me.
21:04I'm happy to hear you say it.
21:05Which is why we killed the raiders, Lord.
21:07Raiders who once belonged to Al Guthrum.
21:09His name is now King Æthelstern.
21:10That has been his name since he became a Christian.
21:12Regardless of what he's called, it's his men who now break the peace.
21:15You're sure of this?
21:16I am.
21:17They gather at the mouth of the Thames River at Bamfliot.
21:20It's true, Lord.
21:21Two hundred or more will have seen it.
21:23Aren't the number gross?
21:24If these rogues are Æthelstern's men, then they are his worry.
21:27Till they decide to blockade the river, Lord, then Wessex will be starved of trade.
21:33Æthelstern shall deal with them.
21:34You must kill them.
21:34I believe we must kill them.
21:36What we must do is hold the peace.
21:39War cannot always be the answer.
21:41Lord, forgive me, but you speak of matters you do not fully understand.
21:46These men will not listen to Æthelstern, and Æthelstern will not deal with them.
21:51For now they are rogues, but should they find a lord to serve, then they will become an army.
21:54So answer me this.
21:55Where might this lord come from?
21:56Do I know of him?
21:59Should I fear him?
22:01You can be sure he will not be called Uhtred, Lord, if that is your meaning.
22:09My advice, Lord, is to send ships and men to Bamfliot.
22:16We shall maintain the peace.
22:31They say it is an honor to have the king stay, but his men and his priests have eaten almost
22:35a winter's worth of food.
22:37Uhtred, how can you serve a man who doesn't see your value?
22:40Oh, he sees it.
22:42Just God won't allow him to embrace it.
22:44He just likes me more by the day.
22:47Then you should ask him to release you, and we will go north, to my brother and to Ragnar.
22:55I'm content here, but we cannot become an enemy of Alfred.
23:04Lord.
23:07Hilt, you look fearsome.
23:09I think I preferred you with a sword.
23:11My sword has become heavy.
23:13Lord, you could probably kill someone with that, though.
23:18I need to speak to you plainly.
23:21I would like to build a house, a nunnery, here in Cookham.
23:25But with your permission, and that of the bishop, of course, the time is the right time.
23:32Do you have my permission?
23:34No question.
23:37And you have my protection.
23:40Always.
23:42I was healed.
23:46You will always be too good a woman for God alone.
23:53Alfred will be pleased.
24:05Stove the oars.
24:06Make it secure.
24:09And hasten.
24:10Lord, ensure the ships are guarded well.
24:12Yes, Lord.
24:20The fortress of Bianfriot.
24:22And all the men inside, they are ours now.
24:27Even the air is rich here.
24:30London is how far a river.
24:32Not the day, or the tide.
24:35We take that, your honest.
24:37And do it ready.
24:39As we plan.
24:58Looking forward to the wedding, Father.
25:00I am.
25:01I am Father Bioca.
25:03I enjoy a wedding as much as the next drunkard.
25:07And how is your own lady, Father?
25:09The Dane.
25:10Tura?
25:11She's not my lady.
25:13She's well.
25:14She is something of a strange beauty.
25:17Yes.
25:19She's, uh...
25:20She's yes.
25:22I inform God each evening how much I miss the company of a woman.
25:25He sends me nothing.
25:27We talk.
25:28Tura and I.
25:30She's a pleasant woman.
25:32There is no finer sight than that of a naked woman, arms outstretched.
25:39Almost there.
25:41Lord.
25:42Lord.
25:43Bioca, come in.
25:48Father Purely.
25:49Dane, Lord.
25:50I read of nothing but skirmishes and raids.
25:53What kind of a place must Daneland be?
25:55Sinful, Lord.
25:56Without question.
25:58I aspire only to kill and fornicate.
26:01Lord, are we to wait?
26:03For a moment.
26:04Lady Elsworth?
26:06Lady, I'm begging your pardon for my somewhat colourful description of life as a Dane.
26:11We are prepared, Lord.
26:17Father Purely.
26:17I have a task for you.
26:19Lord.
26:19You are familiar with East Anglia, are you not?
26:21I am, Lord.
26:22A land of quite unremarkable beauty.
26:24You are to go to King Ethelstan.
26:26He may need help with the reading of this letter.
26:29Ethelstan.
26:29He is to deal with the rogue Danes at Bayam Flaertin swiftly, if you could emphasize swiftly.
26:33Emphasize swiftly.
26:34You have been allocated a guard.
26:35They are waiting for you in the stable.
26:37I am to leave now, Lord.
26:39Swiftly, Father.
26:40May I say I was somewhat looking forward to the celebrations, Lord.
26:44The whole of Winchester shall be celebrating.
26:47Swiftly.
26:49Yes, Lord.
26:50I will gather what I need.
26:51Lord.
26:56You are ready?
27:01I am.
27:03There is still a little decorative work to be done.
27:06Now, do not touch it till you have ink on your hands.
27:21Say what you think.
27:23Do you like it?
27:26I have not seen anything so beautiful.
27:31He does not deserve you.
27:32Did I not say the same?
27:34I hope that Ethelred says the same.
27:36Ethelred should consider himself a very fortunate young man.
27:40And in time you will grow fond of him, I'm sure.
27:42I'm already fond of him.
27:43Oh, shush now.
27:44You barely met him.
27:46Last time over a year ago.
27:47Ethelred is a good and godly man.
27:49He was a little too fond of himself.
27:52Will Utrecht be coming to the wedding?
27:54Sadly, he will.
27:56I'm sure.
27:57I consider him to be our lucky charm.
27:59Now, now, there will be no mention of luck or charms.
28:01There is God's will and nothing more.
28:03Praise him.
28:14It is fertile land, Lord.
28:19No greener than Mercia.
28:21Though Wessex does have the advantage of not sharing a border with the Welsh.
28:25The Welsh to the west, the Danes to the east, and Alfred to the south.
28:30We're surrounded.
28:30I would say we're perfectly positioned at the very middle of Alfred's idea of an England.
28:38Pivotal.
28:39Yes, I like that.
28:44Lord?
28:46Lord?
28:47Have you made a decision yet?
28:51Have you given it thought?
28:53Given thought to what?
28:55Wardship.
28:57My request to marry, Lord, I would like to have a family.
29:02Lord, you will answer the man.
29:06I will speak with her at Winchester and give you my decision.
29:10Thank you, Lord.
29:13But you are to give her no more of your arm rings, nor silver.
29:35If it is not the great Lord Utrecht of the small and little-known village of Cookham.
29:40I see you're drinking again at the Waltz.
29:42Just a cup or two, nothing more.
29:44I have news for you.
29:46You know where to find me.
29:51Before you take your supper, wait, tune in.
29:53I wish to speak with you.
29:54About what?
29:56Privately.
30:06Utrecht, please, let us not rush to make an enemy of Alfred.
30:10And if the dead man and the gods say differently?
30:13They will not, if they are truly gods.
30:16And also, this girl whom Cedric loves, you will not belittle her.
30:21She's an alehouse whore.
30:23And what is Atherflad?
30:25What is a peace cow if not a whore?
30:27There's a difference, clearly.
30:28She will marry and be hummed by a man she does not know, and for a price.
30:33Where's the difference?
30:35It's the way.
30:36She is a whore in a wedding gown.
30:39If it is the way, then I belong to your uncle still.
30:44I will say no more.
30:46Well, I'm pleased to hear it.
30:54Utrecht.
30:55Utrecht, as always, a beginner is a joy to see you.
30:58And you, Father Berger.
31:01You look well.
31:03I am well.
31:04Oh, I would like to meet Father Pulig.
31:07Lord Utrecht, I've heard much about you.
31:09Father Pulig here was once a warrior himself.
31:11Sword and spear, Lord.
31:13For the man's tires of sticking ironware into the bellies of other men.
31:16I would have enjoyed a cup of ale with you both, but I must leave you.
31:19You have the letter secure.
31:21Nighting, Father.
31:22I'll put it right next to my ball bag.
31:25Lord Utrecht, it was an honour.
31:29Unusual priest?
31:31Yes.
31:33Utrecht, it was a matter upon which I find myself in need of your advice, Artura.
31:40Oh, as I say, she's used as well.
31:42She's delightful.
31:44But my problem is this.
31:49She must leave, I feel.
31:51Either join you for cooking or return to Ragnar.
31:55You don't want her here?
31:57No.
31:58Yes, I mean, no, I do want her here.
32:00It's just that I simply cannot think.
32:04I can't work.
32:05I can't sleep.
32:07It's been like this for months.
32:09I mean, I can barely pray.
32:11I mean, when I do pray, I pray only for myself, which is wrong.
32:14Very wrong.
32:16Sinful.
32:17Wrong.
32:19I didn't realise she had become such a burden, Father.
32:22I mean, she's not a burden.
32:24She could never be a burden.
32:27Then, Father, I must.
32:28Why must she leave?
32:29Because I cannot think of anything but her.
32:34It is constant and it is pathetic and hopeless because she is fair and I am, Beocca, a man old
32:43enough to be her much older brother.
32:47You're smiling.
32:48No.
32:50You're laughing at me.
32:51No, Father, I swear I'm not laughing at you.
32:54Well, I can see your teeth.
32:54I'm sharing your joy.
32:57There is no joy.
32:59I feel I am in a purgatory of sorts.
33:02Gerob will not go to Ragnar.
33:04She's happy here in Winchester with you.
33:07Nonsense.
33:08Beocca.
33:09You are her peace, her happiness.
33:12Marry her.
33:13Marry her.
33:15You said marry her, Father, and let her.
33:21And then give thanks to God for giving us such a joy.
33:24Praise him, Father.
33:26Praise him.
33:30What if she refuses?
33:43He's not after, Red.
33:46In what I know, Alfred could not have chosen a bigger turd.
33:50I've never met the man, but by the look of him, he was indeed a shut out the arse of
33:55a joint.
33:56He is to be king of mercy, they say.
34:00The alderman of the Witten, they say.
34:01Lord of mercy, perhaps.
34:04Alfred would never allow another Saxon to be called king.
34:07Lord, a certain dead man called Bjorn.
34:11Wishes to meet you.
34:12Come with me.
34:13Ah, ah, you're pinching my skin.
34:15You're pinching my skin.
34:18This was clean.
34:19Why is it that you're being trusted with my business?
34:21Who gave you this message?
34:22A scald, a pagan scald.
34:23His name.
34:24I laugh, I live.
34:25Something dain, something odd.
34:27Are you any wiser?
34:28No, you are not.
34:30I'm a messenger.
34:31Nothing at all.
34:33Like it or not, we are bonded, you and I.
34:35Bonded?
34:36Yes.
34:37Our ancestors were kings, and yet we are barely acknowledged as aldermen.
34:40We deserve more.
34:42You especially deserve more.
34:46As for me, I have a chamber in the palace, and that is it.
34:48That is the sum of my land.
34:49He has given me nothing.
34:50I am no longer part of the Witten, even.
34:57Uhtred, I can see you are torn, but why should we stand by and watch while power and wealth
35:01is given to the likes of Ethelred of Mercia?
35:05You were a witness.
35:05You saw him just now riding through Winchester like a peacock, like he was killed.
35:09When?
35:11When am I to meet with Bjorn?
35:14If we leave tonight, we can be back here in two days in time for the wedding.
35:17I am to take you there.
35:22Watch him rise from his grave, and you will know that it is all true.
35:28He will not ask again.
35:29Lord?
35:30Don't speak.
35:31Don't move.
35:36I'll leave as soon as my horses are cooled and fed.
35:40The winds are blowing a change, Lord King.
35:49You'll be glad to hear that I've made my decision.
35:53You may marry this girl.
35:54Lord, thank you.
35:55Upon completion of a task, to fetch Clopper, you'll go to the stables and wait for me.
35:59Ensure the horses are watered and fed, but ready.
36:01Yes, Lord.
36:02Go.
36:04Thank you, Lord.
36:05We will name a first son, Uhtred, Lord.
36:07No, you will not.
36:08No, we will not.
36:10No, we will not.
36:38I have supper.
36:39There's something I needed to say.
36:42There's something I needed to ask.
36:44You should ask it.
36:45Marry me.
36:53It was selfish of me to ask, to even mention the word.
36:58But, uh, I fear you have become someone I cannot live without.
37:03You fear?
37:04Life without you.
37:14Fear no more.
37:18Come here.
37:21Always.
37:39Stop that.
37:41Brace it.
37:46This is it.
37:49Shkarl's hall.
37:50It was given to Eilaf by his lord for great service.
37:53It's a trick.
37:54You'll go no further.
37:56Not until we're at the hall and inside.
37:59At all times, you'll remain unseen.
38:01Yes, Lord.
38:02If the dead man rises, when he returns to his grave, he will keep watching.
38:10What if he sees me, Lord?
38:13What if...
38:16What if he knows that I'm near?
38:18Then you shoot yourself.
38:20We'll remain unseen and keep watch.
38:23Yes, Lord.
38:42There are men.
38:44Warriors.
39:04We are here to see Eilaf, the Shkarl.
39:10We have an invitation.
39:12Who leads here?
39:16You.
39:17I do.
39:19I am Heston.
39:21And you?
39:22Are Utrid of Babinbur.
39:25You spared me at Eferwitch, Lord.
39:28You're expected and welcome.
39:53Go take a piss.
39:58Who's C?
39:59C floor.
40:11I serve Erik, Siegfried's brother.
40:16Sends your good wishes.
40:18Erik is not here?
40:21He's not.
40:22If I had my way, I would not be here.
40:25My men are afraid.
40:29Of ghosts?
40:34It is not a sight you will forget.
40:39My Lord wants you to know that by now he will be at Bayam Fliot, not Frankia.
40:45With Siegfried?
40:46With his brother.
40:48And with the fleet.
40:50He insisted you were told.
40:51And we're two after Bayam Fliot.
40:55I can't say.
40:57But it is hoped that you will join us there.
41:02My love is resting, Lord.
41:03In preparation for tonight, you may wish to do the same.
41:16They have a fleet.
41:18How many, I wonder?
41:20Nineteen ships.
41:21That's more than five hundred men, plus those already there.
41:24And those who have come.
41:26Then it has started.
41:28What?
41:29The end of the peace.
41:47You stand too close, girl.
41:57Do not make me speak to you again.
42:03Once the marriage is made, you should consider making Ethelred earn his privilege.
42:09Skirmishes and raids from the Danes must not be tolerated.
42:12Not one.
42:13It should be made Ethelred's responsibility.
42:15And the Mercian, Elderman, should be invited to attend a Wessex Witton.
42:20For the purpose of what?
42:21For the purpose of bowing to the king and watching the Lord of Mercia do the same.
42:29I do not doubt for one moment that Ethelred has dreamt is dreaming of overtaking me.
42:35It would be a simple reminder of his position.
42:40Excuse me, Lord.
42:42Order, come in, join us.
42:48Lord, it is about both something and nothing.
42:50Sit.
42:57Ootred has left Winchester last night.
43:00And gone where?
43:01We don't know for certain.
43:03And what of his current witch?
43:05His wife, dear.
43:06The Lady Gisela remains in Winchester.
43:09What he can't have gone for?
43:11Ethelwald is with Ootred.
43:14They went in which direction?
43:16Mercier, Lord.
43:18Lord.
43:20I think it is something more than nothing, Order, and I am wholly tired of never-ending disobedience.
43:25But it will not ruin your appetite, Lord.
43:29It will not.
43:31Put a watch on Gisela.
43:33She must not leave until her husband has returned, then explain his absence.
43:39Father Beocca.
43:40Lord.
43:41Lord.
43:42Lady.
43:44I have news.
43:45Ootred has returned.
43:47From where, Lord?
43:48What is your news, Father Beocca?
43:51I am to be married.
43:59The once proud and brave, Earl Duthrum.
44:04He now calls himself a Christian.
44:09He now calls himself King Athelstan.
44:13But he's nothing but Alfred's hound.
44:17And he's shamed us all.
44:20He has shamed every warrior that has done before us.
44:25He has shamed the gods.
44:27And the gods call upon every man gathered here today to avenge them.
44:35And to avenge them, we will.
44:40My son, rise tomorrow, London, and all of its riches shall be yours.
44:47Believe me when I tell you, the gods are with us.
44:53The gods are with us.
45:03The gods are with us.
45:23I won't pass away.
45:23What?
45:42I won't let you go over here.
45:46I won't let you go.
45:49I won't let you go.
45:50I won't let you go.
46:51We understand.
46:55The gods are wanting true men.
46:58So I thank you for being here, Utrecht of Beppenburg.
47:03After tonight, I hope to sleep.
47:18Fetch the blood.
47:25At this time.

50:01you shall not have it until we hear you speak.

50:49The harp string.
50:51Welcome, Bjorn.
50:52This is Lord Utrecht,
50:54who has sent a good many Dane to the place where you live.
50:58I do not live.
51:00You have a message for Lord Utrecht.
51:12Lord Utrecht.
51:13I see you now.
51:15The gods have had their sacrifice.
51:19And the brothers have, tonight,
51:23begun that which cannot be stopped.

51:31Saxon blood.
51:36You are to be king.
