01:19heathen danes

02:24I have the king's trust
02:25that's a warning
02:42I want him dead
02:44too soon
02:47I'm sure Alfred would prefer him dead at times
02:50but he knows his value
02:51he's nothing but a heathen
02:53Uhtred kills danes
02:54he kills danes
02:55he survives slavery

03:22and he is the same
03:26our hope lies in Daneland
03:29with luck the unrest will grow
03:32peace is not in their nature
03:33you wish for war, Uldhelm?
03:35as a Mercian, Lord
03:37what I wish is for Æthelred to be crowned king
03:39of Mercia
03:41and then of Wessex
03:45why not?
03:51it is Alfred we want dead
03:55and for that to happen sooner

05:22When are you going to tell him
05:23what Cedric saw?
05:24That the ghost is a lawyer?
05:27If I tell him he'll talk
05:28and see if we will hear
05:32They must believe that we believe
05:38I do enjoy another wedding
05:40a royal wedding in particular
05:43it is a tonic for the soul
05:44the excitement
05:45the expense
05:46At the world
05:47I'm still undecided
05:48so do not mention
05:49talking corpses
05:53Nobles have traveled
05:54across the sea
05:55from as far as Frankia
05:56solely to see
05:57the beautiful Ethelflaed
05:59marry this pretty
06:00bread pudding of a boy
06:01A fair description
06:03Furthermore
06:03gets to help
06:05the king's daughter
06:06all night long
06:07Ethel, well, you will be quiet
06:09That is the truth
06:10You will be quiet
06:11Or you will do what?
06:12Irishman?
06:13Kill you
06:13in your sleep
06:14There you go
06:16Oh
06:52She's so beautiful.
06:55She's too good for him.
06:57Why are we delaying?
06:58Did Citric witness something at gravesite?
07:01Citric saw nothing.
07:21May I say that you look quite beautiful?
07:25God looks upon me with favor I do not deserve.
07:31Lord God in your heaven, we are humbly gathered before you on this day of thanks and celebration.
07:56The point I make is simple.
07:58All of the power, all of the wealth, all of the land that could belong to you will now belong
08:02to him.
08:03Should I hit him?
08:04Yes, yes, by all means strike me, but in your heart, in your purse, you know I speak the truth.
08:09Yes, sit him.
08:13All I will say again is that the dead man speaks the truth.
08:19Lord, someone say it's treason.
08:21No, no, this wedding is treason.
08:23Lord, this wedding is a betrayal of Wessex and the men of Wessex.
08:27Meaning you?
08:29Should the king die, I have a strong and rightful claim.
08:31Alfred is working to make a new line of succession.
08:34Excuse me, Lord Utrud.
08:35Go away.
08:36I am Osforth.
08:37You are a monk.
08:38A baby monk.
08:40Go away.
08:41Lord, you...
08:43You knew my uncle, Lord.
08:44His name was Leofridge.
08:47Leofridge was a great man.
08:50You are Alfred's bastard son.
08:52No, but I wish to join you, Lord.
08:54Be by your side as my uncle was.
08:56No, we have no need of a monk.
08:58As a warrior, Lord, I wish to serve you as a warrior.
09:05Utrud?
09:07Utrud, you are wanted.
09:11The king.
09:12Enjoy the wedding feast.
09:16You?
09:17Find me again.
09:19Bring a sword and loose your cross.
09:21Thank you, my Lord.
09:22I will.
09:24I will.
09:37Lord.
09:43Lord.
09:45You were seen.
09:46Seen where, Lord?
09:47Leaving Winchester.
09:49Leaving Wessex, entering Saxon-Mercier, and crossing Watling Street.
09:53Going into Daneland, Utrud.
09:56I'm sure you have an explanation.
09:58I trust we will hear the truth of it.
10:00What business do you have in Daneland?
10:02The king's business.
10:03Lord.
10:04Your business.
10:06You happy for me to speak in this company?
10:11Freely, why not?
10:18London has been taken.
10:20By the Northmen, Siegfried, and Erich.
10:22Never.
10:23Says who?
10:24If my lips not move.
10:26Siegfried, and Erich are in Francia.
10:27They were.
10:28And now they are not, Lord.
10:30They have a fleet at Bienfliot.
10:31They have an army at Bienfliot.
10:32Some of which has held upriver and taken London.
10:35If this is true, it cannot be allowed.
10:38London belongs to Mercia.
10:39They will choke the river.
10:41They will, Lord.
10:43With respect, Lord Utrud,
10:45you have still not explained why you crossed the street into Daneland.
10:49I can never remember your name.
10:50I am Aldhelm.
10:52I'm commander of Lord Ethelred's household guard.
10:54Would you like me to write it down?
10:55You will answer, Utrud.
10:57I was invited to Daneland, lady, to Paddington.
11:01And there I was asked to join with Siegfried and Erich.
11:05I was offered the kingdom of Mercia.
11:07Ha!
11:07And your response?
11:08He's here, is he not?
11:10I would say that is response enough.
11:13Utrud, I did not see you at the church.
11:16I do hope you were there.
11:18I was there, lady.
11:19Of course I was.
11:20May I say how beautiful you are today?
11:24My dear, we're discussing a matter of importance.
11:27Yes, I heard, Lord.
11:29So are the Northmen intending to remain in London,
11:31or are they waiting for a ransom?
11:33Fair question.
11:35Besides Utrud's loyalty is it is the only question.
11:38We shall offer negotiations.
11:40Quite right.
11:41Once the celebrations are done,
11:43you, together with Ethelred,
11:44shall travel to London.
11:45At the very least,
11:45you can assess their strength and their numbers.
11:47An excellent way forward, Lord.
11:49Though if you had killed these brothers in Northumbria,
11:51this event could not have occurred.
12:00Lord King, may I ask,
12:02what bargain was struck in Northumbria
12:05to allow the brothers to leave with their lives?
12:07Utrud has told me the story.
12:09He defeated Siegfried in combat,
12:11but spared him on the condition they leave.
12:13He did this to preserve the lives of his own men.
12:17It is called negotiation, Lord Aldam.
12:22Now we suffer the consequences of this negotiation.
12:25Decisions are made and consequences follow.
12:26It is the way.
12:28Our task is to deal with the present.
12:31To your wisdom, Lord.
12:50My dear.
12:53It's not your place to involve yourself in a conversation
12:56that became an informal Witton.
12:58We were discussing matters of land and war.
13:01Lord, I take an interest in you.
13:04My father has always encouraged you.
13:06You are no longer the king's daughter.
13:09You are my wife.
13:12It's me you will obey.
13:15You are delicate.
13:16I find it interesting.
13:18I would speak with the king often.
13:20You are of Mercia now.
13:22You are my queen.
13:24Do you think you're a king?
13:32I call you queen because you mean that much to me.
13:37I do not like your tone nor accusation.
13:43What I would like
13:45is you
13:46on your belly
13:49on the bed.
13:50Lord.
13:52Your husband wishes to ride you.
13:56He will lie on your belly.
14:01What's this?
14:03Disobedience?
14:06It's confusion, Lord.
14:08Or should I hand you back
14:09back to Wessex?
14:12Unused, but
14:13tarnished.
14:14You wouldn't dare.
14:18I shall see.
14:20Lord.
14:25I am your wife.
14:46A good day.
14:49It was.
14:51I am glad it's over.
14:52Lord.
14:54If I may have a brief word.
14:58Lady.
14:59It would take just a moment.
15:01Be sure it does, Odder.
15:03The king is tired.
15:13Lord.
15:16I fear that you undervalue Gortrid.
15:18He is by far our most accomplished warrior
15:21and has been nothing but loyal.
15:22Odder, we have discussed this many times.
15:24He has sworn, and yet he continues to behave
15:25as if he were his own man.
15:26He is a little reckless at times, yes.
15:29Uhtred crosses into Daimeland
15:30without advising you or I first.
15:33I tolerate this behavior
15:34only because he is our most accomplished warrior.
15:36But if he had not crossed the street, Lord,
15:38we would not know of the fall of London.
15:40Do not doubt for one moment
15:42Uhtred Ragnarsson has ambition.
15:46He will have been tempted by this offer from the Northmen.
15:49And yet he is here, Lord.
15:51Doing what?
15:53Spying, waiting?
15:55Did he volunteer this information before being confronted?
15:58No, he did not.
16:00No, Lord.
16:01Ask yourself why.
16:04I have said many times
16:07he is a sword I would rather wield than face,
16:09but he is not godly and never shall be.
16:14I wish you a good night's rest, Odder.
16:15You are clearly in need of it.
16:25What troubles you, brother?
16:29Uhtred.
16:30He doubts the dead man.
16:32You believe so?
16:34Yes.
16:38We should have approached him
16:39man on man with honor.
16:42You're thinking now
16:43as if there's a trick?
16:45Yes.
16:48Maybe.
16:49You don't know.
16:53No.
17:11How's the pain?
17:15The same.
17:17Constant.
17:22It reminds me I am alive.
17:27That I should live.
17:32If Uhtred knows that Bjorn is a lie,
17:36then he will come
17:38with Alfred's army.
17:40Yes.
17:43So I get to kill him, after all.
17:48If we wish there is a way
17:50to raise the greatest armor
17:51these shores have ever seen,
17:53it can be done.
17:56The Thames River would be dark
17:58with ships,
17:59Danes,
18:00and Northmen.
18:02all we need to be is clever
18:06and patient.
18:07Patient.
18:09Patient.
18:14Oh, there will still be blood
18:15to spill, brother.
18:18But this way,
18:20we can be kings of it all.
18:23No Guthrum.
18:24No Æthelred.
18:27No Alfred.
18:31No Uhtred.
18:51They say London is dangerous.
18:53Oh, it is.
18:55But London is alive
18:56with every kind of life.
18:58I hear women do not walk
18:59the streets unguarded.
19:00That bodies are found
19:01in the river daily.
19:03Twice daily.
19:04With each and every tide.
19:06London is not Winchester.
19:08But one year here
19:09is worth ten elsewhere.
19:11Then why do you not live here?
19:13And end up dead in the river?
19:14That look like a film.
19:17What's to stop them
19:18from cutting our throats
19:19and siding with the Northmen?
19:20I've been pondering the same.
19:23The answer is
19:24that you're Alfred's
19:25son-in-law now.
19:42Uhtred, how is it
19:43that you know
19:43these streets so well?
19:44I stayed here for a time
19:46at El Ragnar de Felis
19:47when I was a boy.
19:48When you were ordained?
19:52As you can see,
19:53the one fact in our favor
19:54is that the whole of London
19:55cannot be defended.
19:57It's too big.
19:58Even the walls
19:58surrounding the old Roman city
20:00would need many hundreds of men.
20:01So the brothers' position
20:02is weak?
20:03Not weak.
20:04But London's been open
20:06to all tribes for a reason.
20:08The ground's not far now.
20:09I shall speak.
20:11You should ask for food
20:12in A, Lord.
20:12My belly believes
20:14my throat is cut.
20:25I do not understand
20:26how this kills a man.
20:28See, if we take his head
20:29and be done with it.
20:30No, no.
20:30No, no, no.
20:31I want to know how.
20:33The cross kills a man
20:34slowly, Lord,
20:35over days.
20:36It is both torture
20:38and execution.
20:40Unlike Saxons and Danes,
20:41the Romans were clever.
20:43There.
20:44You have your answer.
20:45I'll take his head off.
20:46Agreed, Lord.
20:47And if you please,
20:48when it comes to me
20:49with your sharpest axe
20:50and strongest man.
20:51You talk too much.
20:53I do.
20:54You should kill me swiftly.
21:03God preserve us.
21:06There is a death.
21:08Nothing more.
21:17Lord,
21:20it is Uhtred.
21:32Uhtred Ragnarsson.
21:34The future king of Mercia.
21:36Welcome to London.
21:38Your new home,
21:40should you want it.
21:41Siegfried?
21:44I thought you might
21:45want to kill me still.
21:46Oh, for a long time I did.
21:49But then I grew to like
21:50my new hand.
21:51Though I have to be careful
21:53when wiping my arse.
21:57It is good to see you here,
21:59Uhtred.
22:00Though your friends
22:02are not familiar.
22:03It's a subtle word of Mercia.
22:05Lord,
22:06my spies tell me
22:07you are to marry
22:08Alfred's daughter.
22:09Your spies are wrong, Lord.
22:10I've already married
22:11Alfred's daughter.
22:13How does she ride?
22:14I've no complaint.
22:16Uhtred, why is he here?
22:17I am here, lords,
22:18to ask of you your price.
22:20For leaving London.
22:21Alfred wishes to negotiate.
22:23I wish to negotiate.
22:24We have.
22:25Orange has arrived.
22:27Why would we want to leave?
22:28You're warriors.
22:29You'll know that London
22:30is impossible to defend,
22:31so let's get this done.
22:33Is that the threat?
22:35Your price.
22:37Sounds like a threat.
22:38I'm asking you to retreat,
22:39lords, for a price.
22:40For silver.
22:42Flesh
22:43is our price.
22:44Your bride,
22:46Ethelfred.
22:48Nonsense.
22:49She has great beauty,
22:50good mind.
22:51I'm in need of a wife.
22:52I'm in need of a hump.
22:53We will share her.
22:54She is my wife.
22:55Ethel right there,
22:56teasing you.
22:58Perhaps we can begin
22:59with a cup of ale.
23:00It was a long walk
23:01from the river.
23:02A cup of ale it is,
23:04Lord Uhtred.
23:09Do you have food, Lord?
23:10The bread is stale,
23:12but good.
23:25I have been told
23:26that you saw
23:26the dead man rise.
23:29I did.
23:30And you heard him speak?
23:32For good plan, yes.
23:34Could you guarantee Ragnar
23:35and all the men he commands
23:38are you with us?
23:39I'm here.
23:40Yes,
23:41but are you here for Alfred
23:42or yourself,
23:43or us?
23:45Ragnar's in the north.
23:46It would take some time
23:47for news to reach him,
23:48more time for him
23:49to decide.
23:50I guarantee nothing, Lord.
23:54Your prisoners suffer from where?
23:55They have a Guthrum's arse.
23:57The earl, Guthrum,
23:58is called Ethelstan now.
23:59Guthrum is a shit stain.
24:01He sends priests
24:03to the Amphiard
24:03begging for peace,
24:05begging for warriors
24:06to settle,
24:07and do what?
24:07Raise sheep.
24:09Many men do, Lord.
24:10There are no sheep farmers
24:12in Valhalla.
24:13Do you intend to put
24:14all the priests on the cross?
24:15It is secret's game.
24:17I do not understand
24:18how it kills a man.
24:19Slowly, Lord.
24:20It's a cruel death.
24:21It's what the priest there said.
24:23Priest is right.
24:24Priest looks like
24:25a pale bag of bones
24:26and dough.
24:28You should let him fight.
24:30The Romans used the square
24:31for just that purpose.
24:33Combat.
24:33He would die too easily.
24:36Give him something
24:36to fight for.
24:38His freedom.
24:47Why?
24:48I'd rather watch him
24:49spill his guts
24:51than nailed to a piece of wood.
24:53Where's the fun in that?
25:10Bolton!
25:11We need to be entertained!
25:14Are you mad enough
25:15to kill a priest?
25:27We're most ready.
25:29Point the end forward,
25:30is it?
25:31So when I kill him,
25:32I'm allowed to go free.
25:34That is the bargain.
25:35That is the bargain.
25:36Hear that, Bolton.
25:37He plans to kill you.
25:39I do.
25:40Beware.
25:41I'm afraid, Lord.
25:42Spare me this trial.
25:43Baggy.
25:45Huh?
25:52Oh!
26:00Oh!
26:01Oh!
26:03Wow!
26:05Oh!
26:09Oh!
26:09Oh!
26:10Oh!
26:10Oh!
26:13You're all preached.
26:22Finish him!
26:40No, I do not wish to kill this idiot, as I'm sure his mother loves him.
26:47Do I have your word as warriors that I am now a free man?
26:51You have my word, priest.
26:56If all your men fight like this, Alfred will have no trouble throwing you out of London.
27:01The tiny sword.
27:03Thank you, Lord. It was a bit on the heavy side.
27:15Where have you learned to fight, priest? The monastery?
27:19I'm a Briton, Lord. I was brought up killing Saxons.
27:23Then join us. Join me.
27:27Ten years ago, maybe.
27:30But now I will fight for my God.
27:32And my freedom, it seems.
27:35If it is acceptable, I will return with the Lord Uhtred.
27:39But not before we've settled on a price.
27:42I hope.
27:45How much for you to leave London?
27:50I find it disturbing that they will not consider silver.
27:53Why should they?
27:54The longer Wessex is without trade, the greater the worth of London.
27:57You are able to assess their strength.
27:59Your priest, Bulek, says they have up to 1,000 men, Lord.
28:02We can muster three times that number, Lord, easily.
28:04London is not a field. It won't be a simple question of numbers.
28:07Of course, it is a question of numbers. It will be a siege.
28:10The more men that we have, the greater the chance of success.
28:12Regardless of how many die.
28:13It will be men climbing ladders. It can only succeed with numbers and with death.
28:16I will not lose men for the sake of too little thought.
28:19There must be a clear plan.
28:22Then let us hear this clear plan.
28:27We attack one gate with a substantial army, allowing smaller groups to enter through a second gate, a third gate
28:32even.
28:32Attacking from land?
28:33Yes, from land.
28:34Not the river?
28:35No, Lord.
28:36The river is worth considering, Lord. It would be counter to their thinking.
28:39There is a gate close to the river.
28:41Yes, Lord. It's called Ludgate.
28:43Perfect.
28:44Silent oars, a cover of darkness, the advantage of surprise.
28:47The river runs fast at Ludgate, making it impossible to land men safely.
28:51But if the Lord of Mercia believes that men sinking to the bottom of the river is an advantage, then
28:56let them attack.
28:58You tread. Your advice may well be sound, but how am I to trust it?
29:03Lord, why do the brothers call you the next Lord of Mercia?
29:11They call me the next King of Mercia, Lord.
29:14Why?
29:22Why do they call you King?
29:24What has been said, Uhtred, what has been agreed?
29:27Nothing has been agreed.
29:28How am I to trust you?
29:29Lord, I'm weary of this.
29:31You are weary of this.
29:33You say you are sworn, yet you behave like a spy.
29:36You float into Danelander back again.
29:38You tell half-truths, keep secrets, and you refuse to accept the existence of the one true God.
29:43You serve your King reluctantly.
29:45But I serve, Lord.
29:46I do not know you.
29:50And I can never know you.
29:52I...
29:59I do not understand you.
30:03And I will never understand you.
30:04That is a fact and one of increasing concern.
30:08And on top of this, my enemies now call you King.
30:14And they called you a weasel, Lord.
30:19Neither is true.
30:24Impossible.
30:44We must devise a plan of attack.
30:46Uhtred, you will leave us.
30:52You will leave.
30:54Oh, I will be happy to.
30:57Should you need me further, you will find me at the Two Cranes Inn.
31:19Lord, with the greatest respect, the insolence we have witnessed cannot go unpunished.
31:25With the greatest respect, it is not your business.
31:28It is the business of Wessex.
31:29Uhtred is to return to...
31:30Lord, we are on the cusp of war.
31:32You will need your best warriors.
31:34Uhtred is to return to Cucum.
31:38Then I will go to the Two Cranes Inn and inform him.
31:41Personally.
31:45As you wish.
31:49You will return to Mercia and gather men.
31:51A thousand Wessex will match it.
31:53Yes, Lord.
31:53My exact written instructions shall follow.
31:56I want Siegfried and Erich out of London and soon.
31:59It will be done, Lord.
32:00Thank you, Lord.
32:08Mr. Diapha.
32:10Lord, do you trust the alderman Uhtred?
32:16With my life, Lord.
32:18Come on,lar, do you trust the gold?
32:21I want you to trust the gold?
32:38Do not Bear with you.
32:39I want you to trust the gold.
32:46I want you to trust the gold.
32:59he believes i drink too much

41:13Father Mayocco, I would like to speak with you about prayer.
41:28This must go no further.
41:31I fear that I am not the first with my wife.
41:37The first, Lord?
41:39To lie with her, to bed her.
41:41Oh.
41:43I see.
41:44But she is the king's daughter.
41:46I need it proven.
41:50Have you asked her, Lord, directly?
41:52I need to know the truth of it.
41:55Is there a way to test her word?
41:57Lord, she is Aethelflaed.
41:58Do I go to another priest, Father?
42:01A stranger to my wife.
42:03Lord Aethelred.
42:04Welcome to Kirkham.
42:07The jewel of Wessex.
42:09Uhtred is expecting you.
42:11There is a way, Lord, from lowly books.
42:15Then do it.
42:18Uhtred is with the women, Lord, helping them prepare food.
42:21Such is the life of a banished warrior.
42:29I have not seen the inside of a pagan hall.
42:32I am surprised that it's warmth.
42:34Were you expecting to see heads on poles, Lord?
42:38I was, lady.
42:40Excuse my ignorance.
42:41I will excuse you.
42:43This one time.
42:45Will Lady Aethelflaed be joining us after prayers, Lord?
42:49If she has the will, yes.
42:51She has not travelled well.
42:53Should she be travelling at all to that?
42:55It was her wish to accompany her husband.
42:58They are newly married, after all.
43:01She will be kept out of harm's way.
43:05Uhtred, has the king written that when the siege of London begins, I am to be first up the ladder?
43:09Is, after all, something he would do?
43:11You accept that I am in charge.
43:13Of all men.
43:16Is it the king's wish?
43:18It is.
43:19Oh, dear.
43:22You are with us.
43:25Why would I not be?
43:27I am an elderman of Wessex.
43:29Alfred has decided to give you this one last chance.
43:33But you have a plan.
43:35Together we will travel downriver, meet with the armies of Mercia and Wessex,
43:39make camp a short distance from London.
43:41Do you have a plan of attack?
43:43Yes.
43:44It is not too dissimilar from your plan.
43:46You will attack the North Gate with your own men.
43:49Once the assault is underway, I shall attack from the marshes with the main army.
43:53And how will you know my assault is underway?
43:56I will know.
43:58You will know.
44:00Uhtred, do not doubt me.
44:02I want this victory.
44:04London belongs to Mercia, and I am Lord of Mercia.
44:08I will go with every man at my disposal to reclaim what is mine.
44:12Good.
44:14I am with Uhtred.
44:16No, Stiapha, you're with me.
44:18I am with Uhtred.
44:20The king says.
44:26Very well.
44:29I am with Stiapha.
44:31Behind you, Stiapha.
44:32Your bravery knows no beginning, Æthelwald.
44:35A toast.
44:37To the Mercians who died for Wessex at Æthendun.
44:40And to the men of Wessex who will fight for Mercia at London.
44:45To allies.
44:47To allies.
45:09This is the word of the Lord.
45:14If a man fears that his wife has been unfaithful, Æth not.
45:20He shall bring her before a priest, who shall prepare the bitter waters.
45:27A mixture of God's water and God's earth shall be drunk.
45:38Know this, if thou hast gone aside to another man, the Lord shall make thy thigh to rot and thy
45:46belly to swell.
45:48Amen.
45:50Amen.
45:53A child, he will now drink the bitter waters.
46:19This will not be necessary.
46:22You are pure, and may God strike me down this very instant if you are not.
46:27Amen.
46:32Does he beat you?
46:34If he does not, Benny will.
46:36I can see it.
46:43He is not a tender or loving.
46:47Father Bjorka must tell the king.
46:49No.
46:50You cannot.
46:51The king is the only man who can end it.
46:53God put an end to this ordeal before it had begun.
46:58Not all in mercy are friends of Wessex.
47:01Not all are happy with the king's influence.
47:04And I must do my duty to Alfred.
47:09My husband will not break me.
47:14You must not tell anyone what has happened here.
47:22You are quiet today, Father Bjorka.
47:27A sleepless night.
47:28Shall I speak with Jura?
47:30Tell her you need your rest.
47:31You shall do no such thing.
47:33You will not talk of such men.
47:35And what matters are those, Father?
47:38I've said enough.
47:39You've all said enough.
47:41You shall do no such things.
48:13Lords, they have set up their camp no more than a mile away.
48:17Then we get this done.
48:19Tovia, the fire must smoke. Black smoke.
48:23Yes, Lord, there will be smoke.
48:30Every man on his feet!
48:34We must be ready.
48:36You all know what needs to be done.
48:38We cannot fail!
48:41No! We cannot fail!
49:15It's open.
49:16Do you see your guards?
49:18What?
49:19I see a trap.
49:24Yes, of course, if it is a trap, we should walk towards it.
49:27Hey, shush your mouth.
49:47Hey, inside!
49:49If you want to live, stay inside.
50:04Let's go inside.
50:08Any idea what's happening?
50:12None.
50:15Cheryl Walls!
50:17Cheryl Walls!
50:19Oh!
50:31Ahuraed!
50:34Ahuraed!
50:36Ohuraed!
50:48Ahuraed!
50:49Move! Move!
50:51They fear us!
50:53The city is ours!
50:56No, no, no! Keep the formation!
51:01Keep your formation!
51:16Stand ready! It's a signal!
51:19There's a signal, no doubt, Lawrence.
51:21They will come.
51:30It's a signal that can be seen from a mile or more.
51:36Etherwetch!
51:38Etherwetch!
51:43Move! Move!
51:47Etherwetch! The camp!
52:00Etherwetch!
52:03Etherwetch!
52:04Death is coming!
52:08Death is coming!
52:11Death is coming!
52:13Wake up!
52:16Wake up!
52:18Death is coming!
52:22Wake up!
52:25Wake up!
52:27Wake up!
52:28Take off your sword!
52:32Wake up!
52:35Death is coming!
52:36Wake up!
52:36That is to be protected, with your lives!
52:39The God and the King!
52:42Go!
52:42Oh, my God.
53:12Go for it!
53:14Sarah!
53:42Don't let him go!
