00:34The monastery is two miles south.
00:36I'm not looking for the monastery.
00:39Saxon's not welcome here, father.
00:41I know.
00:42I'm not urging business with King Howell.
00:45Are you Saxon?
00:46Well, I was born a Briton.
00:48You will only find trouble here, brother.
00:50You will find more than trouble if you do not let me pass.
01:26Saxon's not welcome here.
01:29You will find more than dead.
01:37There is no time for this.
01:40They are children, Richard.
01:43Sons of mercy is most revealed.
01:47When did children become the cost of war?
01:53You did all that you could.
01:56Come.
01:58They took their heads.
02:00All of them.
02:08You must move off before the dance knows you're in.
02:10Not until they have been blessed.
02:13That's the case.
02:14Not until they have been blessed.
02:16James!
02:18The Danes are here, Lord!
02:20They're headed towards the gates!
02:22How many?
02:23Too many, Lord.
02:24Stay back, Heather.
02:25Seeing you will inflame them.
02:27Go upstairs now.
02:29We're going back against them.
02:30Go.
02:30I'll hold them off.
02:47Give me the lady!
02:49And you will not be slaughtered!
02:51Do not even consider it!
02:53I will not have men murdered in my place!
02:55I will not see you taken!
02:57You are the one of the one of the two!
02:59The only one is our bridge, daughter!
03:03There's no other way out!
03:04No!
03:05Can we get to the roof?
03:07Don't we get trapped.
03:08Let me bargain.
03:09Lady, you have to bargain.
03:11We cannot just let death come to us.
03:13I will not just wait for it.
03:14What are we doing, Lord?
03:16The door will not hold!
03:17Bring me Knut Zanz.
03:18Set back!
03:19I will dread you cannot.
03:20There will be another way.
03:21You must trust me.
03:22And you must swear to me you will stay here.
03:25Swear to me.
03:29Horathe!
03:34Kill them all!
03:36Enough!
03:41Come and face me!
03:48I have Knut's sons!
03:52You're lying!
04:01Leave this place or I will cut their throats.
04:04Take us on, Knut.
04:06Every Dane in this land will see it event.
04:09Yes, and every Dane will come for you too.
04:10The blood of his child will be on your hands.
04:12Do not play games.
04:14Send them down now.
04:16Or all the men here will be killed.
04:18Leave this place or I will cut off the head.
04:20You'll harm them and every section here dies.
04:24Help!
04:27Help!
04:29Help!
04:30Help!
04:31Help!
04:32Help!
04:36Help!
04:40Help!
04:42Help!
04:44Help!
04:44Help!
04:46Or I will kill the other one also!
04:49Go!
04:51Now!
04:52Go!
05:03Stay down!
05:04Look!
05:05I'll kill you!
05:11Look!
05:20I'll kill you!
05:21What about the boys?
05:22Get them free and let them run, they've served their purpose.
05:24It was a purpose to enrage a Danish army!
05:27But this time, and allowed us to escape with our lives, fate wants to drag us to fight for the
05:31Saxons!
05:32Yes, there's definitely faith that drives us into all of this.
05:35Uhtred have nothing to do with it.
05:36I do not seek Bethels. Bethels just seem to seek me.
05:40But you're right. I have unleashed a stone.
05:43Uhtred will find us.
05:45This is now our fight.
05:46It was our fight from the moment you took those boys from Heston, Lord.
05:54The men would be forgiven for abandoning me.
05:57They like an adventure.
05:58And they're loyal to a good leader.
06:01As are you.
06:10It's just the bus this route to Tethno.
06:27Do not fear the beast. He's been fed.
06:30Does he like strangers?
06:32Only when cooked.
06:37You're from the boy king in Wessex.
06:39Why do you come crawling before us?
06:42Wessex would like to strike a bargain.
06:44I do not make treaties with Saxons.
06:46Nevertheless, we have an offer.
06:49There is concern in Wessex about Cnut and his incursion into Mercia.
06:53Alfred's actions have bitten Edward on the earth.
06:56So?
06:57And his army are slaughtering all in their path.
07:00You are not friends to us, Father Podlick.
07:03Why should any of this concern me?
07:05Because it brings a dangerous heathen to your border.
07:08And yet our borders are strong.
07:11Because we've been repelling Saxons for years.
07:16As you know, Alfred wanted all the Christian kingdoms to unite.
07:19Yes, under his banner.
07:21So we could all bow to him.
07:23He wanted to conquer and not unite the faith.
07:25Nevertheless, our faith is now under threat.
07:28We follow the same one god and share a common enemy.
07:31You know that, Lord King.
07:32And you know to repel Cnut now or save you bloodshed later.
07:35So it is a bargain that works for both of us.
07:44What are Edward's plans?
07:47Mercians are gathering at Taddenhall.
07:49There are plans for Wessex to join them.
07:53And what would I get in return?
07:55In this holy war against the pagans.
07:58And do not tell me recompense in heaven.
08:01Celestial rewards do not build fortresses.
08:06What is it you want?
08:07The spoils of battle.
08:09All of them.
08:11Every last piece of Danish silver.
08:14That is not a promise I have the authority to make.
08:17You're here on Edward's orders.
08:19You must have his authority.
08:22Do I have your promise, Father Podlick?
08:27Let him swear upon the book.
08:52Edwulf.
08:55What news of our troops in Lin-Kilner?
08:57The settlements that surround it are resisting, Lord, but we will prevail.
09:01I should hope so.
09:03I want all of East Anglia.
09:06Or our bargain does not hold.
09:08It would be a shame for your family to go unawarded.
09:11I want all of East Anglia.
09:14After so much effort.
09:26He's like a pig rolling in shit.
09:29Ask me nothing of the detail.
09:31It's a favor to you, not to him.
09:34Does enough that humbling me has lifted his spirits.
09:37So you must tell him the news from Mercia.
09:42Perhaps I should delay him.
09:43I cannot put it off.
09:45I know you are afraid.
09:47But I have brought her some goodwill.
09:49I'm not afraid, I'm just...
09:50You are afraid, and so am I.
09:53But I have done my part, brother.
09:55Now you do yours.
10:05I'm not afraid, but I have done my part, brother.
10:29Do not let me win, stay upper.
10:31Lord, I have not.
10:35What has happened?
10:37What has happened?
10:43The settlements around Linkilna have capitulated.
10:46If you want to see some severed hands, it can be arranged.
10:52And what's the bad news?
10:55You are clearly waiting to deliver bad news.
11:01News has come from Edward, Lord King.
11:04I regret to tell you that Canute's armies have raided Mercia and taken your palace at Halesburg.
11:13Is this the same Canute that you told me was heading to Ireland to help some feral cousin?
11:20Yes, Lord.
11:21Because of whom I left my kingdom undefended.
11:25And now it is in ruins.
11:26There was no reason to mistrust the information, Lord.
11:28My spy in the Danish camp was certain.
11:30He swore it was true.
11:32Heston is a close ally of...
11:34Did you say Heston?
11:37Yes, Lord, he's a close ally.
11:38I know who he is.
11:40He is well known to be a liar.
11:43You are nothing but a rat's turnt.
11:45Who should never have been trusted with anything more than an axe.
11:50I pitied you.
11:53Gave your horror of a sister the chance to restore your family.
11:56This is how you repay me.
12:01Only a f***ing would have trusted Heston.
12:04I know, but I have made a plan to re-
12:06My reputation will be ripped to shreds.
12:08We've had word from the Lady Aethelflaed.
12:10She will be at Teton Hall where she plans to lure Canute.
12:13So now my wife is heading to battle before me so that she can be revered as the saviour of
12:19my kingdom?
12:20How in the name of God is that supposed to cheer me?
12:23I'm just saying that there is a plan.
12:25Lord, there is advantage in this if you play it right.
12:29A chance to return to Mercia as the avenging hero.
12:37Can the men get here by morning?
12:41Uh, yes, Lord.
12:43I can send orders for them to return immediately.
12:47This could be your greatest triumph.
12:49Yes, you are finished, Aethelf.
12:52Please do not execute me.
12:54You will pray for execution.
12:57When we return to Ehlersberg, I will publicly castrate you.
13:02Your family will never prosper, and your sister will never leave my bed.
13:27Why have you sent Father Purely to Wailas?
13:31Do not lie to me, Mother.
13:32We have spies in every court from here to Rome.
13:38Howl has Danes rampaging near his borders.
13:41It is only right for Purely to alert him to it.
13:44Have you asked Howl for help?
13:49That is unforgivable.
13:51I had to do something.
13:53Your sister has thrown herself into the lion's mouth.
13:56I challenge any mother to act differently.
13:58You are not just any mother.
13:59You are the mother of a king.
14:02Canute wants us to march on his terms.
14:04It is a trap you have walked into.
14:06But Howl is a Christian, and God wants us to be united.
14:11Howl serves no one but his own people.
14:13In going to him, you have made Wessex look divided.
14:17Canute will hear of it and think we are weak.
14:22Yes, but I want my daughter safe.
14:27Then you should have persuaded her to stay in Wessex.
14:31My men would not forgive me for chasing my sister into a hopeless battle.
14:35And yet you know they will also revile you for letting her die.
14:40Like it or not, Aethelflaed has forced your hand.
14:43So I trade the life of Wessex soldiers for my own honor?
14:46That is what the soldiers are there for.
14:48To do the king's bidding.
14:50Yes, but not the bidding of the king's mother.
14:55Besides, it is too late.
14:58Aethelflaed's fjords are marching.
15:01You had word of that.
15:03Ben did not tell me.
15:04You were elsewhere making other plans.
15:09If you wanted men to speak your name in awe,
15:15believe me,
15:16this was not the way.
15:44Lord, I want all of these defenses finished by sunset.
15:48Yes, my lord.
15:49Good.
15:52They're so close, Brida.
15:55Everything we ever wanted.
15:58Lands.
16:00For people to settle in for generations.
16:06What?
16:08Yes.
16:14Ah, it is Byak-Wulf.
16:17Returning with Alpha's little match.
16:27Where is Aethelflaed?
16:30She escaped.
16:32How did this happen?
16:37Tell us.
16:41Rutra Dragneson is in Aethelflaed.
16:44He had your sons with him.
16:46Heston appears to have traded them for his life.
16:49Tell me that my sons live.
16:54I will not harm you.
16:55Just tell me the news.
16:57Tell me the news.
17:18He would have killed Asghar.
17:21And we now left.
17:29Why?
17:30Why?
17:33I want you to practice some tagging immediately.
17:36No.
17:36No one sleeps until it's gone.
17:38No, this will be paid for in blood, but we cannot let it distract us.
17:41A venting, my child, is not a distraction.
17:43Tartu!
17:45Knut, Knut.
17:46I share your grief and your anger.
17:48The gods know why.
17:50Please, please do not let Uhtred glue you into a fight.
17:53He's not a priority.
17:54You killed my firstborn.
17:55And Eskor is still with him.
17:57If I have no heir, all of this, all of this is for nothing.
18:01Do not give up our battle position.
18:03It does not matter where we fight.
18:06We have a thousand warriors.
18:08Tartu!
18:08Prepare the men to march.
18:10I will.
18:10And send men ahead to fight them.
18:12We will follow.
18:12No!
18:13I will.
18:14Knut is not...
18:14Leave me!
18:15This way is foolishness, Knut.
18:17You will find him, Tartu!
18:26Hold it, sir.
18:29Keep watching the light.
18:31I don't know when.
18:33You got a namas there?
18:37Vigilant.
18:39Get used to a namas kneeling through church all day.
18:42It's a damp ass that kills you.
18:49What do you think will happen when we face the Danes?
18:52A namas will be the least of our problems.
18:55We're good fighters.
18:57When we're all fit to fight.
18:59I've fought alongside your father for a while now.
19:02And he tends to come up with something.
19:05At the last minute.
19:07Many men are loyal to Hathor Flood.
19:09Even at their own cost.
19:10No doubt the pair of them are devising a battle plan to save us all.
19:32Not here.
19:34Not with him so close.
19:36You will deny yourself the day before a fight
19:39It gives me strength
19:42What if you die on the battlefield?
19:46I will not die because God favors those with goodness in their hearts
19:54Maybe
19:55I believe the gods play with us
19:58We do not know their reasons
20:00Or what is destined for us
20:04But tonight I will believe what you believe
20:09I thought your destiny was Bevanbo
20:11I thought that
20:20For so long
20:26Now I ask myself why I failed there
20:33I know there is a plan for me yet I do not know what it is
20:40Only that it leads me to you
20:43And Finan is right I chose to be here so
20:47That must mean something
20:49It means that you care for the fate of Mercia and the Saxons
20:54Now you sound like your father
20:57Even he used me for his own wishes
20:59Yes he was a wise man and I tried to follow in his path
21:03So perhaps then I too should only use you for my wishes
21:11I know there is a plan for you
21:18I know there is a plan for you
21:26I know there is a plan for you
21:28I know there is a plan for you
21:28I know there is a plan for you
21:28I know there is a plan for you
21:28I know there is a plan for you
21:29I know there is a plan for you
21:29I know there is a plan for you
21:29I know there is a plan for you
21:30I know there is a plan for you
21:31I know there is a plan for you
21:44Edward, come and rest.
21:46God is guiding you, I know it.
21:52Do not turn away from all of your family.
21:55I know your son would like to see you.
21:57He often speaks fondly of you.
22:03A child without his father's guidance will grow weak.
22:06Which is why I endeavor to seek the Lord's help.
22:10So if you would leave me in peace.
22:30There's no point disturbing him.
22:32He is still deep in prayer.
22:34He does not need divine guidance.
22:36He just needs to listen to those of us that know the cost of battle.
22:39His mother has been advising him.
22:41Yes.
22:42I'm afraid that's not all she's been doing.
22:45Lady Elswith was seen visiting Edward's bastard at the monastery, I'm told.
22:50She arranged a reunion between the boy and his mother.
22:54Why?
22:55What business has she shown kindness to a whore and her offspring?
22:58I do not know.
23:01But a rumor persists that their marriage was legitimate.
23:05A false rumor.
23:07But still one that could endanger my son when the time comes.
23:13I trust you are keeping your husband satisfied.
23:18Another son would strengthen our position.
23:21Try too, father.
23:23But he's not as attentive as he once was.
23:25The matters of kingship weigh heavy on him.
23:27Then you must try harder.
23:31Because it is clear that Lady Elswith is following a plan of her own.
23:36But you must do something to stop her.
23:37Before she turns the king for me and my son.
23:40I will do what I must.
23:42Trust me.
23:43I have not come this far to be thwarted by a bitter Liddell.
23:59I have not come this far to be with death.
24:01Because I am theward-
24:01But you cannot do something to do, Matt.
24:02The he бес going the last year.
24:10I have not come this far.
24:11This is true.
24:11You must learn and be も-
24:11This is not just a temptation of sin.
24:11This is not just another sign of it.
24:11Where are we going to be thwarted by this enemy?
24:12follow us?
24:16Let us know.
24:16What does this mean?
24:21is this the place yes I'm not sure I can see Edward scum I'm not sure I can see
24:29anyone he will be here
24:54I sent right that the fields should gather in the woods I'll ready them for battle before my brother
24:59arrives
25:07just not a fjord
25:09may I'm not mercy
25:13you do not look like christians
25:15we are men from whilas loyal to king howell are you an ally or an enemy of mercia
25:22we are here to fight canute lady and best the dane as we have bested the saxon for so many
25:28years
25:28and the fjords
25:30I put them under the command of the little bald priest
25:33I'm not bald I'm certainly not little
25:37father purely I do not understand
25:40he rose to whilas to beg king howell for his army
25:44Edward sent him to find allies
25:46I knew he would not abandon me
25:48oh lady it was your mother who sent me
25:51I've had no word from the king
25:56then we fight with what we have
25:59it's good to see you purely
26:00you too lord of trouble
26:02tinan
26:02citric
26:03good to see you are alive
26:06even with these welshmen
26:07it may not be enough
26:09I know you have summoned knut
26:11but you can still turn away with honor
26:14no one would condemn you for leaving an unfair fight
26:18I do not fight for honor
26:19Uhtred
26:20I fight because someone must make a stand against knut
26:24even though I am forbidden
26:27as a sister I am defiant
26:28but as a daughter of Alfred I am just doing my duty
26:33even if it wasn't made for me
26:35I cannot blindly follow the king's command
26:38that is something I understand
26:40yet I cannot believe he has left me to face this without him
26:45I thought somehow he would find it in his heart
26:50what do I tell my men
26:56tell them your brother is close behind us
26:59they must believe we have a chance
27:13we've heard from Uhtred and the Lady Aethelflaed
