00:22This is not about survival, it is about pain, an agony of burning that the flesh never forgets.
00:29Then we wait to see if the bloodsick us.
00:58Come on!
01:14Come on!
01:31If the gods have not healed you by the third sunrise, they have abandoned you to die.
01:35As will I.
01:48Where is she?
01:57I was wondering when you might grace us.
02:01We're not resting.
02:02Oh, she's the Lady of Mercia, she can do as she chooses.
02:04She's repeatedly reminded me.
02:08I have told her that she is sick, as I have told you that I do not wish to lie
02:12still.
02:13There will be time enough for that.
02:18There, I'm ready.
02:23Will you escort me?
02:27To go where?
02:27I have some obligations I must attend to.
02:33Then let us go.
02:41You knew she was sick, but you did not tell me.
02:43She asked for my help and my silence.
02:45I gave her both.
02:48She's dying, Udred.
02:51I've seen this before, and those whose time is close, they feel something alive before.
03:00You must do not be fooled.
03:02She has little time left.
03:24You nailed God, she did that.
03:27Yes.
03:32But for three days, suffering all the torments of hell.
03:35I believe that he will raise you from the dead on the day of judgment.
03:40It is a tenet of our faith, yes.
03:44He was your God as well, Brina.
03:46Do not forget where your life began with him, not the Danes.
03:50You are his child, just like we all are.
03:52Tell me then.
03:54Why did he abandon me?
03:56Why?
03:58If Viveka was his child, why did he let her die?
04:02Why?
04:06Will he protect your father?
04:08Will he save you in this moment?
04:10Tell me.
04:11He has decided that this is my time.
04:13And so he is.
04:15Do not be so eager to believe that he has any control over how your life ends.
04:20This will not be quick.
04:22This is just the beginning.
04:25Help him!
04:26Help!
04:27Where is he, father?
04:28Is he coming?
04:30Is he on his way?
04:31Help him!
04:40It is strange to see it so empty.
04:43It is not empty.
04:46Not yet.
04:52You will not have to do this alone.
04:56I will remain with you.
04:58And I am so grateful for that.
05:01I only hope that I might find her strength when the time comes.
05:06I have served your mother for many years.
05:08I have served your mother for many years.
05:10You are her daughter.
05:12I can see much of her in you.
05:16I always thought that rule would mean conflict.
05:19But the truth is the people simply want peace.
05:23If they are well fed.
05:25If they have homes.
05:27If they are warm, then they will soon come to respect you.
05:33Where are we going?
05:35I have some business with one of the elder men that I must attend to.
05:38Surely this is not the time.
05:40Oh, so do tell me what time is it.
05:42It is time to fight what is happening to you.
05:44Do not be naive, Uhtred.
05:46The battle is done.
05:48Why are you giving up so easily?
05:50I am not giving up.
05:52I did not choose this.
05:54This path that God has given to me.
06:05My lady.
06:06I have completed the letter that we spoke of.
06:18This, this is too much.
06:21It is barely enough.
06:23Marcia needs to be protected.
06:24And I am sure you will do what needs to be done.
06:30My lady.
06:33You have been good to us.
06:36Just and fair.
06:46I remember when he was terrified at the thought of you on the throne.
06:49People change at given time.
06:54What did you give him?
06:56I have learned in my name that I wanted to give to the people.
06:59To ensure that it remains theirs when I am gone.
07:02And who will take the throne?
07:04Elfrin.
07:07She is not the girl you once knew.
07:08She understands her duty.
07:12If Edward and I can maintain our alliance through our successors and they and theirs,
07:16our peace and unity could last for generations.
07:20Aldhelm will remain with her to guide her.
07:22And she will have an army for protection.
07:27I do not wish to ask more favors of you.
07:30Please.
07:32Let me speak.
07:35I would feel happier to leave her if I knew that you would ensure her safety.
07:39You do not even have to ask.
07:40I do.
07:42Your life is not here with me.
07:46Elfrin is not your kin.
07:49I did not help you when you came to me.
07:50Stop.
07:52I will protect Elfrin and Marcia as best I can.
07:59Come.
08:00Let us find somewhere quiet to sit or some may think I am breaking my oath.
08:06The gate is this way.
08:07There are other gates.
08:09Ones that are not so fiercely guarded.
08:25It's all this, yes, I could have been sneaking in here to help you.
08:40I should send word to my husband that it is finished.
08:43That he might ride to Lindisfarne and see it.
08:46I am sure that both the Lord our God and the King will be impressed with your tribute.
08:53You awake early, do you not?
08:55I pray every day to our Lord God in the light of the new dawning sun.
09:01The King departed this morning.
09:03Did you happen to witness it?
09:08Did anybody accompany him?
09:11I think perhaps the Lady Yagavu rode with him.
09:19Come with us to Lindisfarne.
09:25The King has warned me that my presence there could be seen as a claim to the land itself.
09:29And my father would surely take his side.
09:33No.
09:34I should remain here.
09:36Travel with us.
09:37And do not tell them.
09:40It is not provocation.
09:42It is a holy tribute.
09:44Nothing is more pure.
09:49I should like to witness its glory myself.
09:52As I am certain the King would also witness yours.
10:11You wish a chance to pray?
10:14What prayer would you have me make?
10:16I don't know.
10:17What prayer would be best to beg your God for your life?
10:20My life is in your hands.
10:22No, please.
10:24I think that there is somewhere after this.
10:27I think that we will join him in life.
10:30Everlasting.
10:33Your God came back to life when my daughter is cold.
10:36She will live with him in eternal life.
10:44Tell him to give her back.
10:47Give her back?
10:50There is not something that my God does.
10:52Life for life, then.
10:55Over.
10:55Over, will you give yourself to me?
10:57For you, the King.
10:57No, there is no trading lives!
11:00Then consider the threat to China, to me, or this one's death will be on your hands.
11:04I cannot do that.
11:05But your God can, can he not?
11:06You are his voice, so speak.
11:07Give her back.
11:08Give her back!
11:09Dear God, spare her.
11:11Put no more blood on her hands.
11:14She was born your servant.
11:16She need not die in torment.
11:17She can still repent.
11:19And join her daughter in paradise.
11:41Just dead.
11:43I'm dead.
11:45I'm dead.
11:52My daughter's dead.
11:54I'm lost.
11:57We are never truly lost.
12:00God will find you.
12:02You were born a Christian.
12:03He has seen the good that has passed on through you to your daughter's heart.
12:07Your God did not save Vivica.
12:08He let her die.
12:11There is no life after this, Val.
12:16He's alone.
12:18He's alone.
12:23He's alone.
12:28I'm alone.
12:34No, you are not.
12:49Perhaps we should rest here.
12:51For a short while.
12:59Is it cold?
13:01I feel so cold.
13:06Is it cold enough?
13:24You should have told me.
13:26I did not owe you a share of my pain.
13:36I have not stopped wondering about what we gave up to become who we are.
13:46Do you regret it?
13:49Do you regret it?
13:50On occasion.
13:52And when I do, it is with every part of my being.
14:03What if you, would you, would you have begged fate for a different path over these years?
14:28It's just people who are contented.
14:30They're safe.
14:39It's just people who are contented.
14:41Do not answer my question.
14:47I have dreamed of us.
14:51Yes.
14:53as a family
14:58than a happy one
15:02but even through that happiness
15:04even in my dreams
15:10we never cease worrying
15:12that we have made the wrong choice
15:15that's the curse of life
15:16to think of what might have been
15:19your path
15:20was to bring peace to Marcion
15:23to protect it
15:25who will protect you
15:28Uhtred of Berenba
15:31I do not need protection
15:33you do
15:35you do
15:37you are carrying so much pain
15:42I would have taught you
15:44I do not need protection
15:46I do not need protection
15:49I do not need protection
15:52I do not need protection
15:53I do not need protection
15:55I do not need protection
15:57I do not need protection
15:59I do not need protection
16:00I do not need protection
16:02I do not need protection
16:03I do not need protection
16:04I do not need protection
16:04I do not need protection
16:06I do not need protection
16:15My daughter committed the greatest of all your God's sins.
16:19If he does exist, she will have been sent to the flames.
16:25That part of the Holy Book has never much felt true to me.
16:29It seems to me there's not much separating Heaven and Valhalla.
16:33But if we are right in our beliefs, there is something better after this.
16:40Now, your daughter had no chance to sin.
16:42She made others kill for her.
16:46It's the same as if the knife was in her hand.
16:49It was her parents' teachers.
16:51She was trying to please you, that is all.
16:55It's not her sin to repent for.
17:00It's not too late to believe in him, Brida.
17:03It is never too late.
17:05Believing in your God made the Danes weak.
17:08They lost their souls.
17:10My daughter lost her life.
17:13I blame you.
17:16I blame your church.
17:18Your kings and your queens.
17:21And most of all, I blame every so-called Dane who bowed to them.
17:24I sucked at their teeth and took their baptism rites.
17:33You should eat.
17:40I cannot help to end your pain.
17:43Nothing can.
17:46Then your daughter is at peace now.
17:50Maybe in finding peace of your own, you might repent.
17:57I want your bread.
17:59I believe it was your bread to begin with.
18:05Should you change your mind?
18:33There is no honor in him freezing to death.
18:36There is no honor in what he did to us, and yet you would forgive him.
18:39The gods have forgiven him.
18:40He passed their trial.
18:42He must be in their favor.
18:42If his flesh begins to heal, then we can talk about allowing him back into the city.
18:47Listen to me.
18:47He is my brother.
18:48Then I am your wife.
18:53His fate is set.
18:54It's in the hands of the gods now.
18:56He will die, or he will survive.
18:58We will not know until his hands are unbound.
19:13Who is that?
19:18King's man.
19:24When was the last time you saw your father?
19:31A long time ago.
19:33I know.
19:34You'll be a fair bit taller than him now, Abeth.
19:53I know.
19:56Am I too late?
19:57Where is she?
19:58She's not here.
19:59Where is she?
20:00She's with Uhtred.
20:03Of course.
20:04She wanted to see him before.
20:08I do not understand why she is being taken from us now.
20:12Time robs us.
20:13Over and over again.
20:16Your mother is the best of us.
20:21If I could keep her here, you know I would.
20:23I know.
20:26The Eldermen have been told to prepare.
20:28I'm concerned that they will not honor mother's wishes.
20:31The Eldermen will be taken care of, do not fear.
20:34Your mother and I had a shared wish to honor our father's desire for unity.
20:43I swear to you and to her.
20:47I will do all I can to ensure that comes to pass.
20:57Please let my Lord King listen to the words of his servant.
21:02Please let my Lord listen to the words of his servant.
21:10I am not alone.
21:25Please let me leave soолж the 누가 Бог can do...
21:33every year.
21:33I am not alone.
21:33I am not alone.
21:35I am not alone.
21:35Oh, to travel down to silence, thou art.
21:48Such an ennui de mayer.
22:00O moth let us live with thy last word.
22:12O moth let us live with thy last word.
22:27O moth let us live with thy last word.
22:37O moth let us live with thy last word.
22:39O moth let us live with thy last word.
22:53O moth let us live with thy last word.
23:04O moth.
23:05O moth let us live with thy last word.
23:32Lord Udred, I would ask you, do you hear anything?
23:45Um, it is night, the town is asleep.
23:47Not out there.
23:49In here, in this room, do you hear anything?
23:55No, nothing but our own voices.
23:58May mortals, I do not care for our voices.
24:07He is not speaking.
24:12I thought that he would speak to me now.
24:16Is it not clear that I need him?
24:19All I have ever asked of him is his voice when I needed it.
24:29Perhaps his silence is him offering you solace in your time.
24:34I do not need his solace.
24:36I need him to speak to me.
24:39My life I have given to him.
24:45I have prayed for so many hours, Lord Udred.
24:52And I have begged him to save her.
24:58I need to know that he is listening.
25:16I fear your prayers have been wasted.
25:18Please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant.
25:21Please let my lord listen to the words of his servant.
25:23Lady Elsa.
25:23I am trying to make him hear me.
25:36Do not say it.
25:41Do not say the words.
25:48He has forsaken me.
25:51He has forsaken her.
25:56I have given him the entirety of my life.
26:01And I am left with nothing.
26:07I have given him the entirety of my life.
26:11I have given him the entirety of my life.
26:32Where is Elfwin?
26:39She is waiting for the Witten.
26:42They will take advantage of her.
26:45They respect the death of Flet.
26:47Surely they will accept her choice of successor.
26:49Elfwin is too young.
26:51And she is not worldly.
26:54They will turn on her.
26:58She can gain their respect.
27:00Just as Aethelflaed did.
27:03As wise as she had become.
27:06Aethelflaed still wished to believe the best in people.
27:11But she was wrong.
27:14There has already been so much death putrid.
27:21I could not bear more of it.
27:28I've had too much.
27:30Leave me here.
27:31Leave me safe here.
27:32All right.
27:33Oh, God.
27:34Come on, up the stairs.
27:35I've had too much.
27:36I think I've had to.
27:37Oh.
27:46Pardon me.
27:47They're waiting for your signal.
27:49And is there work from Father Pionic?
27:51A scowl upon the ceiling of Danish witch.
27:54And he is likely dead.
27:57Return to your position.
27:58It will not be long.
28:10I thought, Stan, when you came with Uhtred.
28:18He wanted the chance to say goodbye to Lady Aethelflaed.
28:21The chance that his presence here denied me.
28:23Well, seeing that he's taken many things from you over time.
28:31I have often wondered of you.
28:33Surely, I would not have been hard to find.
28:37Well, you've found each other now, it seems.
28:41There are matters to be attended to.
28:42We...
28:44I should like to talk further with you.
28:46Might just change to both of our lives, but now is not the time.
28:51I just get to see you, Aethelstan.
29:04You were much favoured by my mother.
29:06She would have been glad to have you here.
29:10You look like her.
29:15Have the Eldermen been told?
29:17We will ring the bells when it is time for the Witten to meet.
29:20They'll be terrified to leave Mercia without a ruler for even a moment's breath.
29:24The Eldermen respected your mother.
29:25They will similarly respect her wishes.
29:28And Lord Aethelhelm has arrived.
29:31As much as his intentions will be self-serving, his presence might help to delay matters.
29:35My mother has been dead a matter of hours, and already he seeks to undermine her.
29:39No.
29:40She would not have delayed it, and neither will I.
29:43You are in mourning.
29:44You won't be forgiven.
29:45My mother would not forgive me.
29:49I will not deny this land or its people what she wanted for them.
29:56I should have been here sooner.
30:00What matters is that you were here for her when she needed you to be.
30:05Will you be remaining here?
30:08Till Elfwin takes the throne.
30:10Should her grandmother allow it?
30:14Maybe Elfwin's with the Sifreit is the wrong decision.
30:18But your old women rarely want more for their descendants.
30:22She might be right.
30:26Why do we attach ourselves to these people, Uhtred?
30:30Do not think it is our choice.
30:33Because it is our destiny.
30:37And destiny is cruel.
30:40All it seems to do is cause us sorrow and pain.
30:46That is the path it sees for us.
30:48I wonder if destiny lost its hold on me when I left these lands.
30:54I have been free of pain for a while now and better for it.
30:58Perhaps pain is our choice.
31:01Not destiny's.
31:06So tell me, Uhtred, what would finally allow you to be free of your pain?
31:22What are they speaking of?
31:28Do not know.
31:30But I'm sure no good can come of it.
31:33We should head back to the palace.
31:56You served her well.
31:59I tried.
32:01All she wanted was to keep the people safe.
32:05She could think of no way to make it more simple to rule.
32:09She tried.
32:11But the ultimate demons that came to respect her were stubborn.
32:14The old ways appealed to them more than the new.
32:17I think you could yet be of great use to mercy, Lord Aldar.
32:23You do not have to be here this early.
32:25We've not yet begun.
32:26Yes, I do.
32:32Stay in your cell.
32:34The throne is taken after the Witten meets, not before.
32:39I did not expect to see you here.
32:42I am here to show respect.
32:45Oh, I doubt that.
32:45A man who has no respect cannot show it, surely?
32:48Good king.
32:49This is taking too long.
32:50We must announce her death.
32:51I would think it were the king's decision as to when the bells should be rung, my lord.
32:55I was merely suggesting...
32:57That you understood the king's grief better than he himself.
32:59Who are you to speak to me this way?
33:01You would watch your tongue.
33:04The bells will ring in good time.
33:08It is nearly dawn.
33:09Let us see the day in with the saddest news.
33:29Shut that door.
33:30Balls are freezing to nothing.
33:36Something's wrong.
33:37Just go back to bed.
33:38Get some sleep.
33:39Lord Uchid might need us in the morning.
33:41Dad, did you see that?
33:42Wake up.
33:43Wake up.
33:43Ah, it's the ale.
33:46Your eyes playing tricks on you just...
33:56Think about where you're pointing, Dad.
33:58There are soldiers here.
34:01You think it's an attack?
34:03The king is here.
34:05And undefended.
34:08I'm pissed.
34:10Go and find Uhtred.
34:11I'll get the others.
34:12Do not do anything stupid.
34:14Do you hear me?
34:28It is time.
34:31Ring the bell.
34:32Let my sister's death be known.
34:38You seem troubled.
34:41I do not like it so cold.
34:43It would be a strange man who does.
34:48It's time.
34:55She asked that you protect Mercier.
34:57You have only done as you saw right and good.
35:04Perhaps.
35:05I don't know.
35:32What was that?
35:34Shit.
36:01Oh, my God!
36:30Shit.
36:55Listen.
36:58Are you all right?
37:01Lord, I think you need to see this.
37:07Who are they?
37:09The ultimate.
37:14Come on.
37:16Who gave your orders?
37:18Come on, tell us.
37:20I saw him talking with the king last night.
37:35Did you see them?
37:36Did you see the Eldermen?
37:38I did.
37:39So where are they?
37:41They are dead.
37:42Dead?
37:44There cannot be.
37:49You.
37:50What did you do?
37:52You overstep your bounds, Lord Ethelhelm.
37:54The only explanation I need offer is the example of our past.
37:58The strength of Wessex and Mercia both only improved under the alliance with my sister.
38:02I could not see that strength fade now.
38:05Lady Aethelflaed's choice of successor is her daughter.
38:07She has her mother's strength.
38:09I have not seen it.
38:11My sister's strength came with time.
38:14To leave my niece to find her own strength would leave Mercia vulnerable.
38:17She will not take the throne.
38:18Then there are others who could rule while staying within the family's line.
38:22Father's hopes were of unity.
38:24It was a dream my sister and I bore from him and shared.
38:27But now she is dead.
38:29Had she known it were possible to unite the kingdom...
38:32She would not have done it with the blood of unarmed innocence on her hands.
38:34Her hands were unsullied.
38:35The choice was mine alone.
38:37And I was forced to act.
38:38The Eldermen had already accepted bribes to sway their minds away from my sister's wishes.
38:43These men were standing in the way of progress.
38:46I merely acted to remove the corruption.
38:47This is not the way succession is determined!
38:51Until my sister's rule, succession was always determined by bloodshed.
38:56I did not want it to be so again.
39:01Better the blood of the few than the blood of the many.
39:05You have murdered Mercia's Eldermen.
39:09And in doing so, I have ensured Mercia's protection.
39:23I will do as God wills.
39:26I will be king of the Angles and of the Saxons.
39:48I will be king of Jerusalem.
39:48Yet, I will be king of the Amsterens.
39:52I will be king of Jerusalem as one of the ages.
39:58His love again but the marriage is a place to be queen ofbearance.
40:05Go into it.
40:07In the old adaptation of her whodesc chose Kimesi.
40:08I will könnt against her newlyw dopo attack on the rise.
40:14You are still alive, then.
40:17That's because of you.
40:25Are you lucky?
40:43The flesh has begun to heal.
40:50The gods have forgiven you.
40:55All of you, brother, have you forgiven me?
41:01If it was the other's choice, you could be left to defend for yourself.
41:06And I'm lucky that it is not.
41:10She is not a true dame.
41:11A true dame would not betray their family.
41:14Yes, you did.
41:23You are my blood.
41:26Do you understand?
41:27You are my blood.
41:31The rest will come in time.
41:34You are my blood.
41:37. . .
42:05Have you seen Lady Ellsworth?
42:07Yeah, she came through here with Alf when they left for us.
42:09Do not say it that loud.
42:10You should leave this place.
42:12It does not say for you.
42:20It's just a scratch.
42:21It'll heal.
42:22Might get a good scar out of it.
42:24Did not bleed like a scratch.
42:28All right, lads.
42:29Get ready.
42:31My men are merely seeking their horses.
42:33There's to be no trouble here.
42:36They killed the elder man.
42:39It is only what needed to be done.
42:41They were all men.
42:43Defenseless.
42:47Heritre has taught you his strong sense of morality, then.
42:52Surely he has also taught it is better to strike first
42:55if it might prevent more violence.
42:59Yet, it was not my intention for you to be caught in this.
43:04My man tells me you fought well.
43:07Not well enough.
43:08I would not be here to tell you of it.
43:11Your blood is strong.
43:12My skill comes only from my training.
43:17I must ready myself for the ceremony.
43:21Will you attend?
43:24I will be with Uhtred.
43:28Will you be welcome should you change your mind?
43:34Aethelflaed was your blood.
43:37As am I.
43:37I will be with you.
43:38I will be with you.
43:46I will be with you.
43:49I will be with you.
43:51I will be with you.
43:52I will be with you.
43:53I will be with you.
43:56I will be with you.
43:56I will be with you.
43:56I will be with you.
43:57I will be with you.
43:57I will be with you.
43:57I will be with you.
44:11It's done.
44:17She gave me peace.
44:22When I was with her, I felt it.
44:28I'm sure she would want you to find that feeling again.
44:31I can think of no better tribute.
45:27It seems to be a worthy procession.
45:30It is.
45:34Are you going to retaliate?
45:37It did what kings have always done.
45:40No king has ever ruled bloodlessly.
45:42It is not in their nature.
45:43There is no way to become a king, Ertred.
45:45I think it might be the only way.
45:50It is over now.
45:53Edward's rule will not be challenged.
45:55His line will watch the throne until it becomes their turn.
46:01Just as King Alfred wanted.
46:02A man who's with the king,
46:08But it is over now.
46:13That is the king of America.
46:19Is in the city of America?
46:23Mysterious musical trio.
46:23They will forex and he will be grilling.
46:23It is over there.
46:26I told you not to.
46:26I will be mad at you, right?
46:27This is a secret.
46:27You're in the world.
46:27You're in the world.
