[folk pop music playing]
5
00:01:53,185 --> 00:01:56,825
[Finan] For a hundred years,
there was chaos in our lands.
6
00:01:58,305 --> 00:02:00,825
War between Saxons and Dane invaders.
7
00:02:01,465 --> 00:02:04,785
And war between men
who wanted to be kings.
8
00:02:09,625 --> 00:02:14,305
My lord, Uhtred, son of Uhtred,
born a Saxon, but raised a Dane,
9
00:02:14,385 --> 00:02:17,025
had brought about a fragile peace.
10
00:02:19,945 --> 00:02:22,145
But as King Edward's health faltered,
11
00:02:23,265 --> 00:02:24,265
trouble spread.
12
00:02:30,465 --> 00:02:34,025
And while most of the country
was sworn to the Saxons,
13
00:02:34,105 --> 00:02:37,345
Uhtred's land of Northumbria was not.
14
00:02:38,745 --> 00:02:41,305
And enemies were keen to exploit this.
15
00:03:06,025 --> 00:03:06,945
Wolf!
16
00:03:08,385 --> 00:03:10,345
Wolf! [grunts] Wolf!
17
00:03:10,425 --> 00:03:11,505
[screams]
18
00:03:13,385 --> 00:03:16,865
Destroy the settlement.
Leave no sign we have landed.
19
00:03:18,425 --> 00:03:19,505
[snarls]
20
00:03:19,585 --> 00:03:21,425
-[yelling]
-[screaming]
21
00:03:24,985 --> 00:03:26,585
Ah! [grunts]
22
00:03:29,065 --> 00:03:32,385
[grunting]
23
00:03:34,505 --> 00:03:36,585
[warrior] Anlaf, we have the spy.
24
00:03:43,185 --> 00:03:44,345
[chuckles]
25
00:03:46,545 --> 00:03:47,665
Behold my child.
26
00:03:47,745 --> 00:03:49,385
Behold the daughter of Anlaf.
27
00:03:50,505 --> 00:03:51,545
You look ridiculous.
28
00:03:51,625 --> 00:03:53,225
It is how they dress, Father.
29
00:03:53,745 --> 00:03:55,945
If I'm to hide amongst them,
I must appear--
30
00:03:56,025 --> 00:03:57,705
Is King Edward dead?
31
00:03:57,785 --> 00:03:58,825
Not yet.
32
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:02,025
-But each breath could be his last.
-Then we chose our moment.
33
00:04:02,625 --> 00:04:06,185
A king dies,
Saxons always turn on each other.
34
00:04:06,265 --> 00:04:08,545
Pass this news to all kings who hate them.
35
00:04:08,625 --> 00:04:12,145
Tell them I have crossed from Irland
and wish to make allies.
36
00:04:12,225 --> 00:04:13,985
Return yourself to Winchester.
37
00:04:14,065 --> 00:04:15,065
Wait.
38
00:04:16,225 --> 00:04:17,345
Play with them.
39
00:04:20,905 --> 00:04:22,945
Unleash chaos.
40
00:04:23,585 --> 00:04:25,585
[whispering prayers]
41
00:04:32,585 --> 00:04:34,865
[whispering prayers]

-[murmuring]
-[bell tolls]
43
00:04:41,265 --> 00:04:42,185
[guard] No. Stay back.
44
00:04:44,425 --> 00:04:45,825
[soldier] Find the queen!
45
00:04:47,905 --> 00:04:49,025
[door slams]
46
00:04:51,345 --> 00:04:52,785
[Aldhelm] Lady Eadgifu,
47
00:04:52,865 --> 00:04:57,785
the traitor Aelfweard has sent men to take
you and Prince Edmund into protection.
48
00:04:58,665 --> 00:04:59,705
[swords scrape]
49
00:05:02,505 --> 00:05:04,665
I have no wish to be a hostage.
50
00:05:05,185 --> 00:05:07,465
-Can we fight them?
-Not without Aethelstan.
51
00:05:07,545 --> 00:05:08,865
Well, surely, my guards can--
52
00:05:08,945 --> 00:05:11,465
Loyalties are shifting
and factions forming.
53
00:05:11,545 --> 00:05:13,305
It is not certain who supports us.
54
00:05:14,225 --> 00:05:16,225
We should flee with your son
whilst we can.
55
00:05:19,785 --> 00:05:21,585
[Eadgifu] I will not forgive this.
56
00:05:22,385 --> 00:05:24,585
Nor forgive Aethelstan
for leaving us exposed.
57
00:05:24,665 --> 00:05:26,465
Damn him for his absence.
58
00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:29,305
Come, Edmund. We are leaving.
59
00:05:29,825 --> 00:05:32,945
-[soldier 1] Where's the queen?
-[soldier 2] Move! Look everywhere!
60
00:05:33,865 --> 00:05:35,945
-[Edmund] Mother, what's--
-[Eadgifu] Sh. Quiet.
61
00:05:38,065 --> 00:05:39,985
-Wait.
-[footsteps approaching]
62
00:05:40,705 --> 00:05:43,225
-[Eadgifu] Pyrlig.
-[Pyrlig] We got word.
63
00:05:43,305 --> 00:05:45,945
Aethelstan has gone on pilgrimage
to pray for his father's health.
64
00:05:46,025 --> 00:05:48,145
Then find him and tell him of his death.
65
00:05:48,225 --> 00:05:51,265
Then strike him, from me,
for he swore to protect us.
66
00:05:51,345 --> 00:05:53,305
[Aldhelm grunts] Come. There's no time.
67
00:05:54,025 --> 00:05:55,025
[sword rings]
68
00:05:57,305 --> 00:05:58,505
[Pyrlig] Where will you go?
69
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,785
-To Uhtred.
-The pagan?
70
00:06:00,865 --> 00:06:02,785
-[soldier] They're in here!
-[Aldhelm] Go! Go!
71
00:06:03,305 --> 00:06:04,905
[grunting]
72
00:06:08,185 --> 00:06:10,105
[Eadgifu] Uhtred betrayed my husband.
73
00:06:11,105 --> 00:06:12,345
Are we sure this is wise?
74
00:06:12,425 --> 00:06:15,465
Uhtred was like a father to Aethelstan.
He can be trusted.
75
00:06:15,545 --> 00:06:16,745
We go to the last kingdom.
76
00:06:17,785 --> 00:06:19,785
[ethereal music playing]
77
00:06:31,025 --> 00:06:32,785
[jolly chatter]
78
00:06:35,065 --> 00:06:38,705
[Finan] He stood in front of the army,
and he said, "Release the arrows!"
79
00:06:38,785 --> 00:06:40,945
And an arrow went right through his head.
80
00:06:41,025 --> 00:06:42,305
[laughter]
81
00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:45,185
[Finan] Oh, that was something.
82
00:06:45,265 --> 00:06:48,545
But then, the battle for this place
certainly sticks in the memory.
83
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:50,105
-Both times.
-[Finan] Hey. Cnut.
84
00:06:50,185 --> 00:06:52,785
He was a proper… cock!
85
00:06:52,865 --> 00:06:55,945
Then there were the horse-killers.
Oh, they were deadly.
86
00:06:56,025 --> 00:06:57,545
-What was his name?
-Bloodhair.
87
00:06:57,625 --> 00:07:00,705
Bloodhair. And what was her name?
She of the curses?
88
00:07:00,785 --> 00:07:02,905
Do not remind me. [belches] Skade!
89
00:07:02,985 --> 00:07:04,905
Now, she was moon touched.
90
00:07:05,425 --> 00:07:08,985
Another one who thought she was a seer.
It didn't go well for her.
91
00:07:09,065 --> 00:07:13,265
I am telling you, my dream was a prophecy.
Three nights I have had it.
92
00:07:13,345 --> 00:07:16,985
-And what is your dream, Ingrith?
-[Finan] Don't get her started, Lord.
93
00:07:17,065 --> 00:07:20,625
-Hear my words. "Seven kings must die."
-[man] Lord?
94
00:07:20,705 --> 00:07:22,025
-Seven kings and--
-Ingrith!
95
00:07:26,585 --> 00:07:28,585
[dark music playing]
96
00:07:30,865 --> 00:07:32,105
All stand for the queen!
97
00:07:38,425 --> 00:07:39,305
Queen Eadgifu.
98
00:07:40,545 --> 00:07:42,625
And my most noble friend, Lord Aldhelm.
99
00:07:47,065 --> 00:07:48,905
What brings you this far north?
100
00:07:50,865 --> 00:07:52,865
I come seeking refuge with my son.
101
00:07:56,545 --> 00:07:59,505
Edward, rightful king of these lands,
has died.
102
00:08:06,425 --> 00:08:07,825
Then my heart grieves.
103
00:08:09,665 --> 00:08:11,185
I'd hoped to reconcile.
104
00:08:11,265 --> 00:08:12,785
One down, six to go.
105
00:08:12,865 --> 00:08:14,545
No! I do not like it.
106
00:08:15,105 --> 00:08:18,145
Northumbria recognizes the new king,
Aethelstan.
107
00:08:19,185 --> 00:08:21,305
Do not assume Aethelstan will be king.
108
00:08:23,465 --> 00:08:26,585
-Who is supporting Aelfweard?
-[Aldhelm] The ealdormen of Wessex.
109
00:08:26,665 --> 00:08:29,025
Of course.
Still claiming Aethelstan's a bastard?
110
00:08:29,105 --> 00:08:32,225
Yes. Aelfweard has
the wealth of Wiltunscir behind him.
111
00:08:32,745 --> 00:08:36,825
Our spies in Aegelesburg say he's there,
openly recruiting mercenaries.
112
00:08:36,905 --> 00:08:40,545
We will go to Aegelesburg and seize him
before he is at full force.
113
00:08:41,185 --> 00:08:43,305
We would prefer your guard.
114
00:08:43,385 --> 00:08:46,985
My offer gives Aethelstan the time
to go to Winchester to be crowned,
115
00:08:47,065 --> 00:08:48,505
and we avoid a clash of armies.
116
00:08:48,585 --> 00:08:50,385
I swore an oath to protect Aethelstan--
117
00:08:50,465 --> 00:08:52,945
And of course, you are a man of your word.
118
00:08:53,025 --> 00:08:56,785
Yet your oath to swear your lands
to the king remains unfulfilled.
119
00:08:57,545 --> 00:09:00,545
Your husband showed himself
hostile to those of Danish blood.
120
00:09:00,625 --> 00:09:03,425
As such, he was not the right man
to unite England.
121
00:09:03,945 --> 00:09:06,345
If he had been, England would be united.
122
00:09:06,425 --> 00:09:08,345
[Aldhelm] But now things can be different.
123
00:09:08,425 --> 00:09:11,145
Aethelstan can be the king
to fulfill the Saxon dream.
124
00:09:11,225 --> 00:09:12,585
If he chooses to swear--
125
00:09:12,665 --> 00:09:15,465
I swore an oath of loyalty, and it stands.
126
00:09:17,785 --> 00:09:22,825
If Aelfweard is buying mercenaries,
he will be looking for men from all parts.
127
00:09:24,345 --> 00:09:26,225
Do you think
we can still execute an ambush?
128
00:09:26,305 --> 00:09:28,305
If it is for Aethelstan, then yes.
129
00:09:28,825 --> 00:09:31,465
-If he does not fall asleep.
-Once. I fell asleep once.
130
00:09:31,545 --> 00:09:35,025
Are you certain this is better
than a band of young fighters?
131
00:09:35,105 --> 00:09:38,265
I hear you do little these days
but feast and hunt.
132
00:09:38,345 --> 00:09:41,745
I will not send young men
to do a task I swore to do myself.
133
00:09:48,505 --> 00:09:50,505
[disconcerting music playing]
134
00:10:00,305 --> 00:10:02,345
-[horse whinnies]
-[Finan] Come on, you little…
135
00:10:02,425 --> 00:10:03,705
Come on! Come on.
136
00:10:03,785 --> 00:10:05,785
-[horse whinnies]
-[Finan] Stop it now.
137
00:10:06,425 --> 00:10:10,065
Osbert! What news from our borders?
Do the Scots behave themselves?
138
00:10:10,145 --> 00:10:13,105
Yes, Father. There are rumors
Wolf-Warriors landed near Derwent.
139
00:10:13,185 --> 00:10:15,785
-Wolf-Warriors?
-Why are you carrying your sword?
140
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:18,345
We're riding
to protect Aethelstan from his brother.
141
00:10:18,425 --> 00:10:19,345
Then I will come.
142
00:10:19,425 --> 00:10:22,345
-Any fight of yours is mine.
-Stay here and protect your birthright.
143
00:10:22,425 --> 00:10:24,705
No good comes
of sitting waiting for a birthright.
144
00:10:24,785 --> 00:10:26,145
So you train the horses
145
00:10:26,225 --> 00:10:28,985
and you teach that boy
how to defend himself.
146
00:10:29,065 --> 00:10:31,545
No one likes the third son of a dead king.
147
00:10:34,345 --> 00:10:35,185
Father.
148
00:10:36,865 --> 00:10:40,865
-Will you swear our lands to Aethelstan?
-I must honor my word.
149
00:10:41,545 --> 00:10:44,225
Northumbrians will be sad
to lose their pagan lord.
150
00:10:47,305 --> 00:10:48,585
-[Finan grunts]
-[horse whinnies]
151
00:10:48,665 --> 00:10:49,585
[Finan] Gotcha!
152
00:10:50,625 --> 00:10:52,905
-Look at this little bastard.
-Are we ready?
153
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:55,025
[Sihtric] He's complaining
about his saddle.
154
00:10:55,105 --> 00:10:57,825
-Says his arse gets sore.
-[Finan] Didn't say arse. I said my back.
155
00:10:57,905 --> 00:10:58,945
[Ingrith] I made you this.
156
00:10:59,465 --> 00:11:00,345
[scoffs]
157
00:11:01,225 --> 00:11:03,345
And one for each of you.
158
00:11:03,425 --> 00:11:07,665
Men who sit on cold earth
find the cold earth calls for them.
159
00:11:08,865 --> 00:11:10,945
Once again, she shows herself a seer.
160
00:11:11,465 --> 00:11:12,985
Lord, it was nothing.
161
00:11:14,025 --> 00:11:14,905
Tell it again.
162
00:11:19,465 --> 00:11:21,225
"Seven kings must die," Lord.
163
00:11:21,745 --> 00:11:23,105
-"Seven kings--"
-Ingrith, no.
164
00:11:23,185 --> 00:11:24,025
Go on.
165
00:11:27,145 --> 00:11:28,705
"And the woman you love."
166
00:11:30,145 --> 00:11:32,025
I'm no king, and I have no woman.
167
00:11:32,745 --> 00:11:35,025
-It means nothing.
-[Aldhelm] Lord Uhtred.
168
00:11:39,745 --> 00:11:41,705
I told my son to train yours.
169
00:11:43,145 --> 00:11:45,665
While you are here,
take Wassa as your serving woman.
170
00:11:45,745 --> 00:11:49,585
-Make this fortress your home.
-I wish to say one thing of Aethelstan.
171
00:11:51,345 --> 00:11:54,345
He is not quite
the carefree boy you raised.
172
00:11:54,425 --> 00:11:56,705
He has grown very much into his faith.
173
00:11:57,905 --> 00:12:00,585
The Brotherhood of Oswald
exert great influence.
174
00:12:01,105 --> 00:12:05,985
I have scared off such men before.
For some reason, monks find me terrifying.
175
00:12:06,065 --> 00:12:08,265
[foreboding music playing]
176
00:12:08,345 --> 00:12:10,905
-[Uhtred] Let's go play kingmaker.
-[Finan] Once again.
177
00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:43,505
[Aethelstan] My father?
No, that cannot be.
178
00:12:45,625 --> 00:12:47,785
I thought God had given him the winter.
179
00:12:48,985 --> 00:12:52,625
[Pyrlig] Lord Aethelstan, you should
make haste to Wessex for coronation.
180
00:12:53,345 --> 00:12:54,905
Your brother gathers men.
181
00:12:55,425 --> 00:12:58,265
Establish yourself at Winchester
before he raises an army.
182
00:12:58,345 --> 00:13:01,665
We will leave when God commands us
to leave, Father Pyrlig.
183
00:13:01,745 --> 00:13:03,865
And that command has not been given.
184
00:13:03,945 --> 00:13:05,585
Return when you have prayed.
185
00:13:24,585 --> 00:13:25,865
[Aethelstan] Do I depart?
186
00:13:27,345 --> 00:13:29,185
[Ingilmundr] Only the book has answers.
187
00:13:30,385 --> 00:13:31,225
Play.
188
00:13:46,865 --> 00:13:52,505
You have been guided
to the Book of Matthew, verse 157.
189
00:13:56,465 --> 00:14:00,865
"Then Jesus went thence and departed
into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon."
190
00:14:08,185 --> 00:14:09,545
God wants you to fight.
191
00:14:29,025 --> 00:14:30,625
Oh. Thank you, lady.
192
00:14:32,745 --> 00:14:35,145
[sentry] Halt. State your business here.
193
00:14:35,225 --> 00:14:37,545
We heard a man is looking for fighters.
194
00:14:38,225 --> 00:14:39,785
We come to make some coin.
195
00:14:40,305 --> 00:14:41,145
[sentry] Mm.
196
00:14:42,425 --> 00:14:43,465
Go on.
197
00:14:50,065 --> 00:14:53,945
-This place has fallen to shit.
-[Uhtred] Edward left it to decline.
198
00:14:54,785 --> 00:14:57,265
I'm glad Aethelflaed
is not here to see it.
199
00:14:59,545 --> 00:15:00,785
[chatter]
200
00:15:02,505 --> 00:15:03,425
Huh.
201
00:15:06,985 --> 00:15:07,945
Word has spread.
202
00:15:08,025 --> 00:15:10,265
[Sihtric] I swear
I've fought half these men.
203
00:15:10,345 --> 00:15:12,305
[Finan] This is not someone
trying to recruit.
204
00:15:12,385 --> 00:15:13,945
This is preparing for a battle.
205
00:15:15,505 --> 00:15:17,625
[Uhtred] That is the youth Aelfweard.
206
00:15:18,545 --> 00:15:20,265
Go see what men know of his plans.
207
00:15:28,785 --> 00:15:30,545
[man] I'll show you a sword!
208
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:31,705
[teen] Oh!
209
00:15:31,785 --> 00:15:32,825
Ooh.
210
00:15:33,465 --> 00:15:36,225
-Is that amber in your sword?
-How much do you want for it?
211
00:15:36,745 --> 00:15:38,745
[groans]
212
00:15:38,825 --> 00:15:40,705
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.
213
00:15:40,785 --> 00:15:41,625
[groans]
214
00:15:42,825 --> 00:15:45,505
-[Uhtred] Go home to your mothers.
-[teen 2] Edgar! No.
215
00:15:53,785 --> 00:15:54,705
Wilfrid!
216
00:15:55,305 --> 00:15:56,145
Wilfrid!
217
00:15:57,545 --> 00:15:58,785
Do you speak to me, friend?
218
00:15:59,945 --> 00:16:01,985
Your pardon. I thought you were Wilfrid.
219
00:16:02,065 --> 00:16:03,945
A great man I fought with at Tettenhall.
220
00:16:04,705 --> 00:16:06,225
Wait, you were at Tettenhall?
221
00:16:07,585 --> 00:16:08,785
My father was there.
222
00:16:10,145 --> 00:16:13,745
-Who do you fight for now?
-Aelf… something?
223
00:16:13,825 --> 00:16:17,425
-Saxon names are much alike.
-The Aelf who marches on Wessex?
224
00:16:18,105 --> 00:16:19,185
You haven't heard.
225
00:16:22,745 --> 00:16:24,425
No one's marching on Wessex.
226
00:16:25,385 --> 00:16:28,025
I'm told the new plan
is to lure Aethelstan here.
227
00:16:31,345 --> 00:16:33,145
Aethelstan is on his way.
228
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:36,025
Aelfweard challenged him to battle,
and he's accepted.
229
00:16:36,545 --> 00:16:38,265
Why would he agree to that?
230
00:16:38,345 --> 00:16:40,065
Because he's young,
and they've baited him.
231
00:16:40,145 --> 00:16:43,225
They plan to snare him between the gate
and men hidden in the hills.
232
00:16:44,785 --> 00:16:46,985
Then we take control before he arrives.
233
00:16:47,065 --> 00:16:49,385
We can't seize this town
with just us, Lord.
234
00:16:49,905 --> 00:16:51,745
We do not need to seize the town.
235
00:16:55,705 --> 00:16:57,705
[eerie music playing]
236
00:17:02,625 --> 00:17:04,105
[Finan snores]
237
00:17:04,185 --> 00:17:05,585
[grunts]
238
00:17:16,505 --> 00:17:19,945
[Finan] Hey! Can I tempt you
to play for money, friend?
239
00:17:20,025 --> 00:17:21,665
-[sword rings]
-[grunting]
240
00:17:27,945 --> 00:17:32,065
[Uhtred] Tie them up and secure the bolt.
Stay low until Aethelstan arrives.
241
00:17:33,545 --> 00:17:35,385
[Finan] If there's a bed, it's mine.
242
00:17:35,465 --> 00:17:37,465
[birds singing]
243
00:17:42,945 --> 00:17:44,945
[eerie music continues]
244
00:17:59,105 --> 00:18:01,105
[Finan snores]
245
00:18:08,265 --> 00:18:09,585
[Uhtred] He's here.
246
00:18:09,665 --> 00:18:13,265
[guard in distance] Raise the alarm!
Soldiers approach the southern gate!
247
00:18:29,265 --> 00:18:33,225
[Aelfweard] Come no further!
Aegelesburg is loyal to me now.
248
00:18:34,185 --> 00:18:36,665
We do not negotiate with bastards.
249
00:18:37,465 --> 00:18:39,025
Nor do we surrender.
250
00:18:39,105 --> 00:18:42,185
-You'll have to starve us out.
-I am not foolish, brother.
251
00:18:42,825 --> 00:18:44,505
I assumed you would place a trap.
252
00:18:45,185 --> 00:18:48,625
Perhaps delay me here until your forces
could attack at rearguard.
253
00:18:49,225 --> 00:18:51,065
Show him what's left of his men!
254
00:18:54,145 --> 00:18:55,825
[grunting]
255
00:18:58,345 --> 00:19:00,105
[Aethelstan] You can yield now,
256
00:19:00,185 --> 00:19:02,305
or we destroy the gate
and kill all your men.
257
00:19:02,385 --> 00:19:04,905
The gates will hold. No yield will come.
258
00:19:04,985 --> 00:19:06,865
[Aethelstan] Then you will be destroyed.
259
00:19:06,945 --> 00:19:08,265
Get ready to open the door.
260
00:19:08,345 --> 00:19:10,985
[Aelfweard] I am the rightful king.
Your mother was a whore.
261
00:19:11,065 --> 00:19:13,945
All good men know it. You have no allies.
262
00:19:15,705 --> 00:19:16,745
Lord Aelfweard.
263
00:19:17,505 --> 00:19:19,585
-I'm Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
-Uhtred.
264
00:19:19,665 --> 00:19:22,025
[Uhtred] You know me
as a man who speaks the truth,
265
00:19:22,105 --> 00:19:25,905
so hear me when I say,
for the common good, stand down.
266
00:19:25,985 --> 00:19:29,625
My men control the gate.
You're outnumbered on all sides.
267
00:19:29,705 --> 00:19:30,585
Yield.
268
00:19:31,425 --> 00:19:33,145
Let this end with peace.
269
00:19:35,625 --> 00:19:37,425
[Aethelstan] Give yourself to me, brother.
270
00:19:38,385 --> 00:19:39,345
Then it is over.
271
00:19:46,225 --> 00:19:48,225
[somber music playing]
272
00:19:58,825 --> 00:20:00,665
Forgive me for my failings,
273
00:20:01,505 --> 00:20:03,345
and give comfort to my mother's kin.
274
00:20:04,705 --> 00:20:06,305
Tell them of my exile
275
00:20:07,145 --> 00:20:10,265
and how we sought
to honor our discarded bloodline.
276
00:20:10,985 --> 00:20:13,065
-For Wessex!
-[men] For Wessex!
277
00:20:17,065 --> 00:20:17,985
Lord Uhtred,
278
00:20:20,225 --> 00:20:21,225
open the gate.
279
00:20:53,505 --> 00:20:54,865
-[slicing]
-[Aelfweard grunts]
280
00:20:54,945 --> 00:20:57,145
-No!
-[Aethelstan] God chose me rightful heir.
281
00:20:57,225 --> 00:20:58,105
[squelches]
282
00:20:58,185 --> 00:20:59,745
[Uhtred] Aethelstan!
283
00:20:59,825 --> 00:21:01,025
[Aelfweard groans]
284
00:21:01,105 --> 00:21:02,545
[men shout]
285
00:21:02,625 --> 00:21:04,465
[intense music playing]
286
00:21:11,745 --> 00:21:12,585
Advance!
287
00:21:12,665 --> 00:21:14,105
[shouting]
288
00:21:14,185 --> 00:21:15,825
Leave no enemy alive!
289
00:21:16,385 --> 00:21:18,385
[commotion]
290
00:21:26,025 --> 00:21:27,945
[Finan] Lord, stop this madness!
291
00:21:29,185 --> 00:21:30,185
[Uhtred] Stop!
292
00:21:30,265 --> 00:21:31,705
[grunting, groaning]
293
00:21:34,465 --> 00:21:35,665
[Uhtred] Aethelstan!
294
00:21:35,745 --> 00:21:37,065
[grunting]
295
00:21:45,785 --> 00:21:47,225
[Sihtric] Get back! Hide!
296
00:21:47,305 --> 00:21:49,665
-[mercenary] I submit! Please don't--
-[grunts]
297
00:21:55,065 --> 00:21:56,105
Aethelstan!
298
00:21:57,865 --> 00:21:59,065
[mercenary] Please, show mercy!
299
00:22:00,185 --> 00:22:01,065
[Uhtred] No!
300
00:22:04,505 --> 00:22:06,945
Stop! They're surrendering!
301
00:22:18,305 --> 00:22:19,465
Aethelstan!
302
00:22:22,185 --> 00:22:25,025
-Aethelsta--
-[high-pitched ringing]
303
00:22:26,745 --> 00:22:30,145
-[muffled cries]
-[Uhtred grunts]
304
00:22:44,425 --> 00:22:45,265
Ah!
305
00:22:46,105 --> 00:22:48,265
-Ah!
-[ringing fades]
306
00:22:50,145 --> 00:22:51,905
[man] Lord! Lord, help us!
307
00:22:54,505 --> 00:22:56,065
Aethelstan!
308
00:23:03,785 --> 00:23:04,945
Aethelstan!
309
00:23:06,265 --> 00:23:08,585
-Stand down your men.
-[Aethelstan] Uhtred, why are you here?
310
00:23:08,665 --> 00:23:11,585
[Uhtred] To stop this.
Your enemy has surrendered.
311
00:23:12,665 --> 00:23:13,865
Halt your men.
312
00:23:16,585 --> 00:23:19,225
-Let him approach and call a halt.
-[guard] Yes, my lord.
313
00:23:20,585 --> 00:23:22,985
-What happened to you?
-What happened to you?
314
00:23:23,065 --> 00:23:26,385
-You had no need to kill your brother.
-I did, or in time, he would return.
315
00:23:26,465 --> 00:23:27,985
-You dishonored your word.
-I did not.
316
00:23:28,065 --> 00:23:30,545
I told him to yield.
I did not say he would survive.
317
00:23:30,625 --> 00:23:33,905
It was never our plan to let him live.
Lord, reverse the order.
318
00:23:33,985 --> 00:23:35,425
We are close to routing them.
319
00:23:35,505 --> 00:23:38,825
-Hired men have no quarrel with you.
-You were right not to seek his help.
320
00:23:42,105 --> 00:23:46,425
You kill 100 fathers,
you give 300 sons a reason to defy you.
321
00:23:47,585 --> 00:23:48,425
Think!
322
00:23:49,305 --> 00:23:50,865
Now's the time to unify.
323
00:23:55,425 --> 00:23:57,305
Uhtred may be right in this matter.
324
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:03,665
I speak only as a man
who has made mistakes before.
325
00:24:04,705 --> 00:24:06,345
-I'm Uhtred of--
-I know who you are.
326
00:24:06,425 --> 00:24:08,225
[Aethelstan]
Uhtred, this is Lord Ingilmundr.
327
00:24:08,745 --> 00:24:10,745
A great commander
and a great friend to me.
328
00:24:14,065 --> 00:24:15,265
Then a friend to me.
329
00:24:17,305 --> 00:24:18,505
Why the Danish name?
330
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:21,265
Born to a Dane, but raised a Saxon.
331
00:24:21,345 --> 00:24:23,265
I found Christ
through the works of Alfred,
332
00:24:23,345 --> 00:24:25,945
and indeed through the writings
of your son in Rome.
333
00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:28,185
You must be proud of him.
334
00:24:28,945 --> 00:24:30,185
He is a true scholar.
335
00:24:31,385 --> 00:24:33,345
I'm just the fool who made him.
336
00:24:33,425 --> 00:24:36,425
Ingilmundr holds the garrison
at Thelwael on the Wirral.
337
00:24:36,945 --> 00:24:39,425
He knows many of the people
we knew from Rumcofa.
338
00:24:39,505 --> 00:24:41,505
Good people.
I should like to see them again.
339
00:24:41,585 --> 00:24:45,025
[Ingilmundr] Yes. Perhaps after
you've sworn Northumbria to the new king.
340
00:24:45,105 --> 00:24:46,545
Honor your word.
341
00:24:46,625 --> 00:24:49,385
Swear to Aethelstan
what you denied his father.
342
00:24:50,265 --> 00:24:52,825

Lord Uhtred has snubbed the king.
518
00:36:21,785 --> 00:36:25,545
The women Uhtred has affection for
become a target for his enemies.
519
00:36:30,105 --> 00:36:31,465
-[Uhtred] Sihtric!
-Sh-sh.
520
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:33,905
[Uhtred] What have you learnt?
521
00:36:35,785 --> 00:36:37,625
Aethelstan has claimed Eoferwic.
522
00:36:38,465 --> 00:36:42,385
He says since Rognvaldr is dead,
there is no king, so it belongs to him.
523
00:36:42,905 --> 00:36:43,825
Eoferwic?
524
00:36:45,345 --> 00:36:48,345
They see me as their lord now.
Aethelstan knows this.
525
00:36:48,425 --> 00:36:50,185
He is demanding all come with tribute.
526
00:36:50,705 --> 00:36:53,825
Not just Saxon chiefs,
but all kings of Britain.
527
00:36:53,905 --> 00:36:56,585
All the mainland
and all the outlying islands.
528
00:36:57,305 --> 00:36:58,145
Lord?
529
00:36:59,305 --> 00:37:00,705
Declare yourself king here.
530
00:37:01,425 --> 00:37:02,665
Like your forebears.
531
00:37:06,265 --> 00:37:07,785
No. This is Aethelstan.
532
00:37:08,705 --> 00:37:11,225
If he chooses the wrong path,
I must tell him.
533
00:37:11,985 --> 00:37:12,825
[Sihtric] Lord.
534
00:37:15,185 --> 00:37:17,185
[foreboding music playing]
535
00:37:36,905 --> 00:37:40,665
"There went out a decree
that all the world should be taxed."
536
00:37:40,745 --> 00:37:44,305
You owe no tribute!
Return to your villages.
537
00:37:44,385 --> 00:37:48,425
-Uhtred! Calm yourself.
-Pyrlig? What is this tribute?
538
00:37:48,505 --> 00:37:52,345
He says it is to build churches,
but, please, there are spies everywhere.
539
00:37:54,545 --> 00:37:58,665
Tell your arseling apprentice
he's badly misjudged the mood of Scotland.
540
00:37:58,745 --> 00:37:59,985
You seem upset.
541
00:38:01,945 --> 00:38:03,745
We came to renew our treaty.
542
00:38:04,625 --> 00:38:10,025
Instead, we've been left waiting for days,
only to be told we are supplicants.
543
00:38:11,225 --> 00:38:12,345
I would be careful.
544
00:38:13,305 --> 00:38:15,385
We've had other offers of alliance.
545
00:38:22,585 --> 00:38:26,225
-Why is Aethelstan doing this?
-He says to unite Christians.
546
00:38:26,825 --> 00:38:29,145
And in his prayers,
he talks much of atonement.
547
00:38:29,225 --> 00:38:31,505
Atonement? For what?
548
00:38:32,265 --> 00:38:35,505
The death of his brother,
the bastardy of his parentage?
549
00:38:36,305 --> 00:38:37,345
I do not know.
550
00:38:39,745 --> 00:38:42,065
Lord Aldhelm and I try daily to dissuade,
551
00:38:42,145 --> 00:38:45,065
but there is talk of conquest
and forced baptism.
552
00:38:46,505 --> 00:38:48,505
-Where is he?
-The Devil's Stones.
553
00:38:49,745 --> 00:38:51,545
He thinks he fights the devil.
554
00:38:57,265 --> 00:38:59,705
[Uhtred] This is madness. Aldhelm.
555
00:39:00,385 --> 00:39:02,585
These stones have stood for generations.
556
00:39:02,665 --> 00:39:04,905
They are an insult to God, apparently.
557
00:39:06,785 --> 00:39:09,105
Is that Owain, King of Strathclyde?
558
00:39:09,865 --> 00:39:11,625
[Aldhelm]
Aethelstan wanted him to witness it.
559
00:39:11,705 --> 00:39:13,385
They were built by his forebears.
560
00:39:13,945 --> 00:39:16,305
He is seeking to humiliate powerful men?
561
00:39:20,985 --> 00:39:21,985
[Uhtred] King Hywel.
562
00:39:23,945 --> 00:39:26,465
He dares ask submission from Wealas?
563
00:39:27,705 --> 00:39:29,265
After all you did for Mercia?
564
00:39:29,345 --> 00:39:31,145
What choice do I have, Uhtred?
565
00:39:31,905 --> 00:39:33,505
He took my son to Winchester.
566
00:39:33,585 --> 00:39:37,625
-He is keeping your son hostage?
-You take the son, you take a future king.
567
00:39:38,225 --> 00:39:42,745
-Now I am forced to follow his bidding.
-I will tell him this cannot stand.
568
00:39:43,425 --> 00:39:47,545
King Hywel, I swear,
Wealas's faithfulness will not be spat on.
569
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:49,385
Our poets spoke this.
570
00:39:50,785 --> 00:39:54,905
That a Saxon would break us all
to build their country.
571
00:39:54,985 --> 00:39:57,145
This is not just a Saxon country.
572
00:39:59,545 --> 00:40:03,305
Aldhelm, get me close to him.
I will stop this.
573
00:40:04,625 --> 00:40:05,945
[guard] Halt. Stay back.
574
00:40:06,025 --> 00:40:08,745
[Aldhelm] Step aside!
The king requested Uhtred speak with him.
575
00:40:23,105 --> 00:40:24,385
King Aethelstan!
576
00:40:29,385 --> 00:40:30,425
[Uhtred] Lord King,
577
00:40:31,465 --> 00:40:32,945
let me speak with you alone.
578
00:40:43,225 --> 00:40:45,145
[Uhtred] You should not
have stepped on my land.
579
00:40:45,225 --> 00:40:47,625
You should not have broken your word,
humiliated me,
580
00:40:47,705 --> 00:40:49,265
as you humiliated my father.
581
00:40:49,345 --> 00:40:51,985
I'm trying to make you see
you're on the wrong path.
582
00:40:52,065 --> 00:40:54,665
-You do the bidding of Ingilmundr--
-I do the bidding of the Lord.
583
00:40:54,745 --> 00:40:57,025
Do you really seek to convert Danes?
584
00:40:57,545 --> 00:41:00,585
-Did I teach you nothing of respect?
-Many Danes welcome the Lord.
585
00:41:00,665 --> 00:41:04,105
-Those in my court thank me for it.
-Many do not wish it, and you know this.
586
00:41:04,705 --> 00:41:06,665
Aethelstan, you've always known it.
587
00:41:07,225 --> 00:41:11,305
-Even Alfred respected this.
-I have more to atone for than Alfred.
588
00:41:11,905 --> 00:41:13,745
Who tells you this? Ingilmundr?
589
00:41:13,825 --> 00:41:16,585
Does he tell you
you are damned without his guidance?
590
00:41:16,665 --> 00:41:20,905
For I've seen before men under the spell
of those who claim to know the gods.
591
00:41:20,985 --> 00:41:22,945
He has been a great friend to me.
592
00:41:26,545 --> 00:41:28,065
Aethelstan, hump who you wish,
593
00:41:28,145 --> 00:41:30,945
but do not fall under the influence
of those who seek power--
594
00:41:31,025 --> 00:41:32,625
Who makes such vicious claim against me?
595
00:41:33,145 --> 00:41:34,665
-No one.
-Who tells such lies?
596
00:41:34,745 --> 00:41:37,505
-It has not been talked of.
-Lord Aldhelm, does he spy for…
597
00:41:37,585 --> 00:41:39,745
What has been said,
by who, and for how long?
598
00:41:39,825 --> 00:41:43,625
No one has said anything.
I care not for that, but for you.
599
00:41:44,385 --> 00:41:47,305
Aethelstan, you are a kind man,
but you are tenderhearted,
600
00:41:47,385 --> 00:41:50,265
and Ingilmundr is seeking power
for himself and for his brotherhood.
601
00:41:50,345 --> 00:41:51,745
Lies. Lies and ignominy.
602
00:41:51,825 --> 00:41:54,185
There's no ignominy.
He just turns you from your kin.
603
00:41:54,265 --> 00:41:56,025
And you are turned from your king!
604
00:41:56,865 --> 00:41:58,385
You seek to be one yourself.
605
00:41:59,945 --> 00:42:01,865
Lord, they consecrate the ground
606
00:42:01,945 --> 00:42:04,145
and would request you
to give the blessing.
607
00:42:06,985 --> 00:42:08,025
Yes, of course.
608
00:42:09,865 --> 00:42:12,545
Let us leave the King of Northumbria
to think on his errors.
609
00:42:12,625 --> 00:42:14,345
I have no dream to be a king.
610
00:42:15,985 --> 00:42:17,225
Only to protect you.
611
00:42:18,105 --> 00:42:22,625
Like you ran to protect him in Aegelesburg
and ended up being beaten by boys?
612
00:42:24,585 --> 00:42:28,345
Should he really take counsel from a man
who loses his sword to a child?
613
00:42:28,425 --> 00:42:30,985
Northumbria needs a lord
with lust for battle.
614
00:42:31,905 --> 00:42:34,825
There are rumors Anlaf has arrived
and will come Viking.
615
00:42:36,745 --> 00:42:40,345
Do not think he will spare you
just because you follow the same gods.
616
00:42:43,505 --> 00:42:45,985
Keep him here a night
and make him swear at dawn.
617
00:42:53,345 --> 00:42:55,945
In time, you will come
begging for his help.
618
00:42:56,785 --> 00:42:58,345
As all fathers fall,
619
00:42:59,505 --> 00:43:01,305
and all sons take their place.
620
00:43:02,225 --> 00:43:04,225
[disconcerting music playing]
621
00:43:19,545 --> 00:43:20,505
Sh.
622
00:43:24,185 --> 00:43:27,225
Lord Ingilmundr has declared you
an enemy of God
623
00:43:27,305 --> 00:43:29,145
to incite his followers to kill you.
624
00:43:30,105 --> 00:43:31,825
Aethelstan would not allow it.
625
00:43:31,905 --> 00:43:35,025
Which is why Ingilmundr
seeks to keep his hands clean of it
626
00:43:35,105 --> 00:43:36,305
and has left the camp.
627
00:43:38,305 --> 00:43:39,185
To go where?
628
00:43:42,705 --> 00:43:43,705
[Aldhelm] This way.
629
00:43:46,425 --> 00:43:48,425
Go up and around. There's no guard.
630
00:44:03,465 --> 00:44:05,105
Him. That is the man.
631
00:44:08,105 --> 00:44:09,985
What did you speak of with the pagan?
632
00:44:11,745 --> 00:44:13,745
[agitated music builds]
633
00:44:15,945 --> 00:44:17,585
[sentry] Horsemen approach!
634
00:44:19,785 --> 00:44:22,825
[Osbert] Stay back from my gates
and tell me who you are.
635
00:44:22,905 --> 00:44:26,105
Lord Ingilmundr,
and I come at Lord Uhtred's request.
636
00:44:26,185 --> 00:44:29,345
He's delayed in Eoferwic
as he renews his vow to the king.
637
00:44:29,945 --> 00:44:31,465
He asked I help protect you.
638
00:44:31,545 --> 00:44:32,905
Protect from what?
639
00:44:32,985 --> 00:44:36,145
There is a rumor of Wolf-Warriors
landed near Derwent.
640
00:44:40,665 --> 00:44:43,105
[guard] Open the gate! Open the gate!
641
00:44:47,145 --> 00:44:49,145
-[tense music builds]
-[birds singing]
642

[music fades]
643
00:44:58,105 --> 00:44:59,625
Do not give the order.
644
00:45:01,825 --> 00:45:03,905
Think on all we have shared.
645
00:45:04,945 --> 00:45:07,105
You're lost from yourself, Aethelstan.
646
00:45:07,625 --> 00:45:08,585
We fought together--
647
00:45:08,665 --> 00:45:12,105
And despite this, you drip poison
against me and plot with Uhtred.
648
00:45:12,185 --> 00:45:13,065
-No.
-Yes.
649
00:45:13,145 --> 00:45:14,385
-No.
-Yes!
650
00:45:14,465 --> 00:45:16,265
You turned your back, Aldhelm.
651
00:45:18,745 --> 00:45:19,745
Now I turn mine.
652
00:45:21,145 --> 00:45:23,145
[haunting vocal music playing]
653
00:45:43,265 --> 00:45:45,265

[rope tightens]
656
00:46:24,505 --> 00:46:26,265
[Eadgifu] Lord Ingilmundr,
657
00:46:26,345 --> 00:46:30,025
you bring welcome news
of Lord Uhtred's supplication.
658
00:46:30,105 --> 00:46:33,105
Will you journey south with me
to let me bear witness to it?
659
00:46:33,185 --> 00:46:37,145
Lady, we have ridden hard to get here.
At least let us rest a day or so.
660
00:46:37,225 --> 00:46:39,785
Oh, but I have been trapped in Bebbanburg
a good while.
661
00:46:39,865 --> 00:46:43,905
Believe me, you do not want to find
yourself here longer than intended.
662
00:46:44,505 --> 00:46:46,185
[horse grunts softly]
663
00:46:46,265 --> 00:46:48,225
-They've been warned!
-[Finan] Now!
664
00:46:49,225 --> 00:46:51,225
[grunting]
665
00:46:55,345 --> 00:46:57,025
We overtook you on the road.
666
00:46:57,745 --> 00:46:59,745
Whatever power you hold over Aethelstan,
667
00:47:01,305 --> 00:47:02,425
today it ends.
668
00:47:02,505 --> 00:47:04,625
[Ingilmundr grunts] My sword!
669
00:47:04,705 --> 00:47:06,025
[groans]
670
00:47:06,545 --> 00:47:07,585
[Uhtred chuckles]
671
00:47:07,665 --> 00:47:09,465
You still believe in Valhalla!
672
00:47:10,505 --> 00:47:13,785
Aethelstan cares for you.
I will not divide us further.
673
00:47:13,865 --> 00:47:14,945
Put him below.
674
00:47:15,025 --> 00:47:18,465
Christians amongst you, defend me!
Who is your Lord?
675
00:47:18,545 --> 00:47:20,145
Lord Uhtred or the Lord Jesus Christ?
676
00:47:20,225 --> 00:47:22,865
The people of Bebbanburg
will not be divided by faith.
677
00:47:22,945 --> 00:47:23,905
Rise up, you fools!
678
00:47:24,425 --> 00:47:26,745
Tell the king the terms of his release.
679
00:47:26,825 --> 00:47:29,905
He makes peace with Northumbria
and guarantees the border.
680
00:47:29,985 --> 00:47:32,785
-No one is forced to follow his god.
-Yes, Lord.
681
00:47:33,785 --> 00:47:34,705
Quite a price.
682
00:47:35,305 --> 00:47:37,785
-Will Aethelstan agree?
-[Uhtred] Let us hope so.
683
00:47:37,865 --> 00:47:40,505
He seems to discard his friends
rather quickly now.

[discordant music playing]
685
00:48:07,145 --> 00:48:09,465
[Ingilmundr] Truly, you bless
an unworthy soul.
686
00:48:11,385 --> 00:48:12,945
[water drips]
687
00:48:13,545 --> 00:48:15,985
-May God reward your kindness.
-Amen.
688
00:48:24,625 --> 00:48:26,625
[determined music playing]
689
00:48:49,185 --> 00:48:51,745
[Anlaf] Aethelstan turns
against his friends.
690
00:48:54,145 --> 00:48:57,865
Succumbs to a wild dream
to be a monarch for all your land.
691
00:49:00,305 --> 00:49:02,665
In time, he will come for you, Shetland.
692
00:49:03,785 --> 00:49:04,665
You, Orkney.
693
00:49:06,025 --> 00:49:09,785
He will take what belonged
to your forebears and call it Britain.
694
00:49:11,705 --> 00:49:12,545
[Shetland] No.
695
00:49:13,625 --> 00:49:17,385
He barely sets his foot upon the water.
Saxon country folk.
696
00:49:18,145 --> 00:49:19,345
We can repel them.
697
00:49:19,425 --> 00:49:23,305
I'm not talking of repelling,
but of meeting conquest with conquest.
698
00:49:23,385 --> 00:49:25,865
[Domnal] Scotland rejects your offer.
699
00:49:25,945 --> 00:49:29,865
We cannot join with pagans
to attack a man who's not threatened us.
700
00:49:30,785 --> 00:49:32,545
Christians do not choose war.
701
00:49:38,185 --> 00:49:39,065
War is coming.
702
00:49:41,145 --> 00:49:43,225
You only have to choose a side.
703
00:49:56,145 --> 00:49:58,145
[whispering]
704
00:49:59,745 --> 00:50:01,025
[Ingilmundr] God be with you.
705
00:50:07,185 --> 00:50:09,185
-[gentle music playing]
-[birds singing]
706
00:50:10,465 --> 00:50:12,465
[rustling]
707
00:50:22,385 --> 00:50:24,865
[Wassa] The stone was rolled away,
as in the scripture.
708
00:50:25,665 --> 00:50:27,785
It can only be the work of an angel.
709
00:50:28,305 --> 00:50:31,545
This way, Lord.
Come and see the treasures.
710
00:50:31,625 --> 00:50:32,465
[Sihtric] Lord!
711
00:50:34,825 --> 00:50:36,305
What word from Eoferwic?
712
00:50:37,385 --> 00:50:38,865
Does he accept my terms?
713
00:50:39,625 --> 00:50:40,545
I have no news.
714
00:50:41,145 --> 00:50:43,625
Aethelstan is said
to have returned to Winchester.
715
00:50:46,025 --> 00:50:48,185
Well, let us take it as a good sign.
716
00:50:49,105 --> 00:50:52,785
Perhaps without his shadow,
Aethelstan sees more clearly.
717
00:50:53,585 --> 00:50:55,225
[Sihtric] What trouble
brings you out here?
718
00:50:55,305 --> 00:50:57,465
[Finan] The villagers were
hunting for pagan silver.
719
00:50:57,545 --> 00:50:59,305
Now they're saying it's a miracle.
720
00:50:59,385 --> 00:51:01,905
[Wassa] Make way
for the King of Northumbria.
721
00:51:02,425 --> 00:51:03,305
I told you.
722
00:51:03,385 --> 00:51:05,305
They think of you as a king.
723
00:51:07,145 --> 00:51:09,625
[Finan] Do you think
they hope to keep half for themselves?
724
00:51:10,145 --> 00:51:12,905
[Sihtric] They likely took it
from Bebbanburg in the first place.
725
00:51:14,545 --> 00:51:17,345
[man] You are detained
in the name of King Aethelstan.
726
00:51:17,425 --> 00:51:18,345
[Finan] Lord.
727
00:51:18,425 --> 00:51:20,225
[sinister music builds]
728
00:51:20,305 --> 00:51:21,625
We've been lured here.
729
00:51:22,385 --> 00:51:23,345
You think?
730
00:51:26,865 --> 00:51:28,505
[Wassa] Lord, I'm sorry!
731
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:29,945
I'm sorry, Lord.
732
00:51:30,585 --> 00:51:34,705
The prisoner told me I had to,
or I'd burn in the fires of hell.
733
00:52:01,825 --> 00:52:04,025
I will never order to open the gates.
734
00:52:07,425 --> 00:52:08,545
[man] Really?
735
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:10,465
A gift from the king.
736
00:52:13,905 --> 00:52:14,745
Oh.
737
00:52:16,385 --> 00:52:17,585
Aethelstan did this?
738
00:52:17,665 --> 00:52:19,305
It's what he does to traitors.
739
00:52:21,025 --> 00:52:23,665
Open the gates or I slaughter your father.
740
00:52:23,745 --> 00:52:26,225
Comply and he will be spared.
741
00:52:26,305 --> 00:52:27,265
Do not open.
742
00:52:27,985 --> 00:52:30,105
-I can kill him in front of you.
-Do not open!
743
00:52:30,185 --> 00:52:33,105
-The choice is yours.
-[Uhtred] Osbert! Do not open!
744
00:52:33,185 --> 00:52:35,545
In your absence, Father, I command here.
745
00:52:36,105 --> 00:52:37,145
And I command that we open.
746
00:52:37,225 --> 00:52:38,905
-No!
-[Sihtric] No, no, no!
747
00:52:52,585 --> 00:52:53,785
[guard] Drop your sword.
748
00:52:54,865 --> 00:52:55,705
Move.
749
00:52:55,785 --> 00:52:56,985
No.
750
00:52:59,105 --> 00:53:00,065
Where is Aethelstan?
751
00:53:00,865 --> 00:53:01,705
In time.
752
00:53:03,345 --> 00:53:04,905
Bring me the Lady Eadgifu.
753
00:53:05,505 --> 00:53:06,865
Come. [grunts]
754
00:53:06,945 --> 00:53:08,225
[Eadgifu] I can walk.
755
00:53:13,185 --> 00:53:14,025
[Eadgifu] Go on.
756
00:53:15,345 --> 00:53:16,185
Kill me.
757
00:53:16,265 --> 00:53:18,745
[Ingilmundr] You are to be placed
in the community on Lindisfarne
758
00:53:18,825 --> 00:53:20,025
to protect your virtue.
759
00:53:21,025 --> 00:53:22,825
[grunts softly]
760
00:53:23,625 --> 00:53:25,265
Did you hump the heathen, Lady?
761
00:53:26,985 --> 00:53:27,825
Confess.
762
00:53:30,025 --> 00:53:30,985
I confess
763
00:53:31,985 --> 00:53:35,265
to have prayed
for your excruciating death.
764
00:53:35,865 --> 00:53:39,065
A no, then. You should have tried
when you had the chance.
765
00:53:39,945 --> 00:53:41,465
We're taking your son to my garrison
766
00:53:41,545 --> 00:53:43,705
at Thelwael
where he will be trained for battle.
767
00:53:43,785 --> 00:53:44,945
No. No. Please.
768
00:53:45,025 --> 00:53:46,665
-[guard] Move!
-Your son also.
769
00:53:46,745 --> 00:53:48,785
[Eadgifu] No.
Edmund is the blood of Alfred.
770
00:53:48,865 --> 00:53:51,105
He should not be fodder for a shield wall!
Please!
771
00:53:51,185 --> 00:53:53,065
-[Osbert] I will take care of him.
-Please!
772
00:53:53,585 --> 00:53:54,785
[Eadgifu gasps breathlessly]
773
00:53:54,865 --> 00:53:57,425
The son of Uhtred stands for Wessex.
774
00:53:57,505 --> 00:53:58,665
[grunts]
775
00:53:59,585 --> 00:54:00,465
Ah.
776
00:54:00,545 --> 00:54:01,505
[Finan] Hey! Hey!
777
00:54:02,345 --> 00:54:03,225
Whoa.
778
00:54:03,865 --> 00:54:05,305
You, we have a plan for.
779
00:54:09,105 --> 00:54:13,025
-[Uhtred] Am I to be drowned in the sea?
-[Ingilmundr] I never quite know his mind.
780
00:54:13,105 --> 00:54:14,865
[Uhtred] Do not punish
those in Bebbanburg.
781
00:54:14,945 --> 00:54:17,665
-His fight is with me.
-His fight is elsewhere.
782
00:54:18,745 --> 00:54:21,985
How lucky we have found ourselves
so close to the Scottish border.
783
00:54:22,065 --> 00:54:24,705
No, do not invade Scotland.
You will lose hundreds of men.
784
00:54:24,785 --> 00:54:26,345
And unleash a war for generations.
785
00:54:26,425 --> 00:54:29,705
The king has no successor to fear for.
It makes him strong.
786
00:54:29,785 --> 00:54:33,985
Do whatever you must to protect our sons.
Do not fight him. Just capitulate.
787
00:54:34,065 --> 00:54:35,385
Anything else is foolish.
788
00:54:40,145 --> 00:54:42,945
-Aldhelm never betrayed you.
-All of you betrayed me.
789
00:54:44,665 --> 00:54:46,385
All those I thought as friends.
790
00:54:48,345 --> 00:54:51,105
Swear now, before Bebbanburg,
and I will spare your life.
791
00:54:52,945 --> 00:54:55,305
-No.
-Then you leave me with no choice.
792
00:54:56,705 --> 00:54:57,745
[sword rings]
793
00:54:57,825 --> 00:55:00,145
-[shrill chords droning]
-[bass drum pounding]
794
00:55:01,025 --> 00:55:02,105
Aethelstan.
795
00:55:04,425 --> 00:55:06,345
[music building]
796
00:55:14,425 --> 00:55:15,265
I cannot.
797
00:55:16,585 --> 00:55:17,945
-Let me offer my--
-No.
798
00:55:22,585 --> 00:55:24,065
Take everything from him.
799
00:55:37,185 --> 00:55:40,785
I banish you from my lands
to travel the earth and seas alone.
800
00:55:42,065 --> 00:55:44,065
On pain of murder of your son.
801
00:55:44,785 --> 00:55:47,825
Let none feed or clothe him,
lest become my enemy.
802
00:55:51,185 --> 00:55:52,025
Go.
803
00:55:53,385 --> 00:55:54,985
Before this mercy vanishes.
804
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:05,625
[music builds dramatically]
805
00:56:24,865 --> 00:56:27,265
[Hywel] Turn back. There is still time.
806
00:56:28,065 --> 00:56:29,545
The Scots are no threat.
807
00:56:30,265 --> 00:56:32,465
This will damn you, Lord King.
808
00:56:33,625 --> 00:56:35,385
[screaming]
809
00:56:38,065 --> 00:56:41,425
[Hywel] To save us from the pagans
can be a just endeavor.
810
00:56:45,705 --> 00:56:48,905
But to turn on other Christians
is ungodly.
811
00:56:49,505 --> 00:56:51,105
[yelling]
812
00:56:56,585 --> 00:56:58,585
[breathes raggedly]
813
00:57:03,105 --> 00:57:05,225
[Hywel] Your men do not want this fight.
814
00:57:05,305 --> 00:57:07,425
[Aethelstan] Well, perhaps
I need better men.
815
00:57:08,785 --> 00:57:10,465
Perhaps I should summon your son.
816
00:57:11,425 --> 00:57:12,265
Lord King!
817
00:57:13,025 --> 00:57:15,425
Aethelstan has attacked settlements
in the lowlands.
818
00:57:16,545 --> 00:57:18,745
He cannot raid us without reply.
819
00:57:20,905 --> 00:57:24,465
Do I tell Anlaf you are ready
to meet with him and the other kings?
820
00:57:28,105 --> 00:57:30,105
[yelling]
821
00:57:33,745 --> 00:57:35,745
[shaky panting]
822
00:57:46,185 --> 00:57:47,305
[erratic buzzing]
823
00:57:54,585 --> 00:57:55,425
[grunts]
824
00:57:56,145 --> 00:57:57,585
Uhtred the Daneslayer.
825
00:57:58,425 --> 00:58:01,385
You killed my cousin Gelf
at the battle of Beamfleot.
826
00:58:01,465 --> 00:58:03,225
[echoes] …the battle of Beamfleot.
827
00:58:03,305 --> 00:58:04,745
Send word we have found him.
828
00:58:06,185 --> 00:58:07,945
I hated Gelf.
829
00:58:08,025 --> 00:58:09,465
[echoes] Gelf, Gelf…
830
00:58:09,545 --> 00:58:10,825
Take him to the king.
831
00:58:14,505 --> 00:58:15,825
[Uhtred] Where are you taking me?
832
00:58:15,905 --> 00:58:17,825
[woman] To the very north
of these islands.
833
00:58:17,905 --> 00:58:19,905
[rhythmic music playing]
834
00:58:26,665 --> 00:58:28,665
[pained singing]
835
00:58:38,065 --> 00:58:39,745
[commotion]
836
00:58:46,425 --> 00:58:50,465
-[Uhtred] What do you give thanks for?
-For the great battle to come.
837
00:58:51,145 --> 00:58:53,185
Tell the jarl we're here
with the King of Northumbria.
838
00:58:53,265 --> 00:58:54,385
[warrior grunts]
839
00:58:54,465 --> 00:58:55,425
[shouting]
840
00:58:57,905 --> 00:59:02,625
-[Uhtred] All folk of Shetland?
-[woman] Some of Man and Orkney join us.
841
00:59:03,185 --> 00:59:05,225
With their kings. [chuckles]
842
00:59:07,225 --> 00:59:09,225
[whooping]
843
00:59:15,985 --> 00:59:17,985
[talking softly]
844
00:59:24,065 --> 00:59:25,505
[Anlaf] Is this who they claim?
845
00:59:25,585 --> 00:59:27,265
The King of Northumbria?
846
00:59:27,985 --> 00:59:29,625
[Constantin] Aye, it's him.
847
00:59:31,305 --> 00:59:32,945
-I am no king.
-[Anlaf] No.
848
00:59:34,345 --> 00:59:35,385
But you could be.
849
00:59:36,785 --> 00:59:39,105
Sit. You are amongst friends.
850
00:59:43,625 --> 00:59:45,225
[Uhtred] You join with pagans?
851
00:59:46,465 --> 00:59:49,785
Aethelstan has taken an axe to the truce.
852
00:59:50,385 --> 00:59:52,185
A truce you brokered.
853
00:59:52,265 --> 00:59:54,625
What he has done
in the villages of the lowlands--
854
00:59:54,705 --> 00:59:57,905
-Is it worse than his cruelty in Irland?
-Tales to spread fear.
855
00:59:57,985 --> 01:00:01,025
[Constantin] We had no choice
but to defend ourselves.
856
01:00:01,625 --> 01:00:02,985
We did not start this.
857
01:00:03,505 --> 01:00:07,785
-How did you find me? Who's your spy?
-We have many spies. We know many things.
858
01:00:07,865 --> 01:00:10,105
[Constantin] We know
Aethelstan has banished you.
859
01:00:10,185 --> 01:00:12,185
And we know he gets humped like a woman.
860
01:00:12,265 --> 01:00:14,985
That may be customary to you pagans,
861
01:00:15,065 --> 01:00:18,025
but as a Christian, it cannot be endured.
862
01:00:18,105 --> 01:00:20,665
-He endures it often, from what I hear.
-So…
863
01:00:21,905 --> 01:00:24,665
As a man who shares our enemy,
864
01:00:25,545 --> 01:00:29,225
we ask you to join with us, Uhtred,
in our alliance.
865
01:00:29,905 --> 01:00:31,905
Stand against the tyrant.
866
01:00:31,985 --> 01:00:33,545
I'm heartsick of battles.
867
01:00:33,625 --> 01:00:37,225
What has become of the warrior?
Do you no longer yearn for Valhalla?
868
01:00:37,305 --> 01:00:39,345
Do you know the prophecy, Uhtred?
869
01:00:40,505 --> 01:00:42,505
The ancient prophecy of my people?
870
01:00:43,305 --> 01:00:46,545
All of Britain
will unite against the Saxons,
871
01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:48,425
push them into the Kentish sea,
872
01:00:48,505 --> 01:00:51,265
return the feals to the line of Arthur.
873
01:00:51,345 --> 01:00:52,465
[Anlaf] There.
874
01:00:52,985 --> 01:00:54,505
The vision of an old man.
875
01:00:55,585 --> 01:00:59,065
-So it must be true.
-We Northumbrians also have a prophecy.
876
01:01:00,825 --> 01:01:03,185
"Seven kings must die."
877
01:01:06,625 --> 01:01:07,825
That holds no fear.
878
01:01:07,905 --> 01:01:10,385
Each man here has a son to take his place.
879
01:01:10,465 --> 01:01:12,025
[Owain] Seven kings die,
880
01:01:12,105 --> 01:01:14,785
seven will, in that moment, be made.
881
01:01:14,865 --> 01:01:15,905
[Anlaf] It's true.
882
01:01:15,985 --> 01:01:18,905
If you make a child,
your kingdom stands beyond you.
883
01:01:18,985 --> 01:01:21,185
A kingdom ravaged by war, yes.
884
01:01:21,265 --> 01:01:23,265
[Constantin] Then there is another way
885
01:01:23,865 --> 01:01:24,945
to consider.
886
01:01:26,425 --> 01:01:28,745
If you wish to save many from bloodshed.
887
01:01:29,345 --> 01:01:31,105
Kill one man only.
888
01:01:32,345 --> 01:01:34,625
Kill the king who has attacked us all.
889
01:01:34,705 --> 01:01:37,545
Return to him in… supplication.
890
01:01:39,425 --> 01:01:40,265
Seize the moment.
891
01:01:42,185 --> 01:01:46,345
Save many lives by simply taking one.
892
01:01:46,425 --> 01:01:48,585
[Anlaf] The alternative,
of course, is war.
893
01:01:50,105 --> 01:01:52,345
Seven kings against one.
894
01:01:54,345 --> 01:01:57,225
If Aethelstan wanted to unite
the tribes of Britain,
895
01:01:58,185 --> 01:01:59,225
he has succeeded.
896
01:02:02,305 --> 01:02:03,865
[triumphant music playing]
897
01:02:15,345 --> 01:02:17,025
[Anlaf] Why do you seek us here?
898
01:02:17,545 --> 01:02:20,145
Your part is to keep Winchester aroused.
899
01:02:21,945 --> 01:02:24,265
You let Uhtred go free. Why?
900
01:02:24,865 --> 01:02:26,105
I sent him away.
901
01:02:27,065 --> 01:02:29,185
To kill your friend, the king.
902
01:02:31,585 --> 01:02:34,185
-Well, he will be killed in the attempt.
-[woman chuckles]
903
01:02:34,265 --> 01:02:36,025
Uhtred has skills you do not.
904
01:02:36,545 --> 01:02:39,345
He attacks Aethelstan.
Aethelstan attacks him.
905
01:02:40,305 --> 01:02:41,585
It barely matters.
906
01:02:41,665 --> 01:02:44,985
Either way, we face in battle
men whose spirits have been broken.
907
01:02:46,185 --> 01:02:48,985
Ingilmundr, go to the West.
The time is near.
908
01:02:49,065 --> 01:02:51,705
Astrid, watch our friends in Northumbria.
909
01:02:51,785 --> 01:02:53,785
[ominous music playing]
910
01:03:06,945 --> 01:03:08,145
[door opens]
911
01:03:08,225 --> 01:03:09,625
[footsteps approach]
912
01:03:25,065 --> 01:03:27,305
[Aethelstan] I did not think
I would see you again.
913
01:03:38,185 --> 01:03:39,025
Lord King.
914
01:03:41,425 --> 01:03:43,625
In the name of my son, I beg forgiveness.
915
01:03:45,905 --> 01:03:46,785
Spare him.
916
01:03:48,305 --> 01:03:49,505
Let me kneel to you.
917
01:03:56,545 --> 01:03:57,625
[sighs]
918
01:03:58,785 --> 01:04:00,465
Then I lift your banishment.
919
01:04:03,985 --> 01:04:05,745
Give me a sword and then leave us.
920
01:04:26,265 --> 01:04:27,145
Go on, then.
921
01:04:29,945 --> 01:04:30,785
Do it.
922
01:05:06,625 --> 01:05:08,665
I swear this on my son's life.
923
01:05:09,265 --> 01:05:10,505
Hear this as an oath.
924
01:05:19,145 --> 01:05:20,625
Ingilmundr is a spy.
925
01:05:21,225 --> 01:05:24,105
He's working with Anlaf
to ally British kings against you.
926
01:05:24,185 --> 01:05:26,425
-Lies.
-It is true. I saw him in Shetland.
927
01:05:26,505 --> 01:05:29,345
He told Anlaf's warriors to track me.
They tried to turn me--
928
01:05:29,425 --> 01:05:30,905
No! [grunts]
929
01:05:30,985 --> 01:05:34,665
-He is in Thelwael with your son!
-He told them things of you.
930
01:05:34,745 --> 01:05:35,625
[grunting]
931
01:05:36,665 --> 01:05:38,625
He still follows my gods.
932
01:05:39,425 --> 01:05:40,585
[sword clatters]
933
01:05:42,225 --> 01:05:43,985
For now, you have an advantage.
934
01:05:44,065 --> 01:05:46,745
Ingilmundr does not know
he has been discovered.
935
01:05:50,985 --> 01:05:53,145
[Aethelstan] No, he would not betray me.
936
01:05:53,225 --> 01:05:54,825
If anything, I have betrayed him.
937
01:05:54,905 --> 01:05:57,505
-No.
-He is a man of God, and I am a sinner!
938
01:05:57,585 --> 01:06:00,905
He has convinced you of this
to provoke your campaign.
939
01:06:00,985 --> 01:06:02,745
-To unite your enemies.
-No!
940
01:06:02,825 --> 01:06:06,905
Aethelstan, please see this. This alliance
he has gathered is too large.
941
01:06:06,985 --> 01:06:09,425
-Your lands will be overrun.
-No! You lie!
942
01:06:10,385 --> 01:06:11,625
This is all lies!
943
01:06:13,345 --> 01:06:15,545
Aethelstan, please hear me.
944
01:06:17,385 --> 01:06:18,785
Why would I lie to you?
945
01:06:18,865 --> 01:06:20,425
-Get out.
-Aethelstan--
946
01:06:20,505 --> 01:06:22,945
Get out. Get from my sight! Guards!
947
01:06:23,025 --> 01:06:24,425
-[door opens]
-Take him!
948
01:06:24,505 --> 01:06:25,545
[grunting]
949
01:06:33,465 --> 01:06:35,705
[breathes heavily]
950
01:06:35,785 --> 01:06:36,625
Ah!
951
01:06:37,705 --> 01:06:39,745
[guard] You dog! On your way.
952
01:06:41,625 --> 01:06:43,425
[Sihtric] We search every forest,
every valley.
953
01:06:43,505 --> 01:06:46,425
[Finan] And here he is,
back in the lap of luxury.
954
01:06:47,305 --> 01:06:48,465
We heard you needed us.
955
01:06:48,545 --> 01:06:51,665
Truly the gods smiled at me
to give me such friends.
956
01:06:54,105 --> 01:06:56,065
[Finan] Let's find ourselves an alehouse,
957
01:06:56,705 --> 01:06:57,545
make a plan.
958
01:07:01,105 --> 01:07:03,625
-Who told you I was here?
-[Sihtric] She said you called for us.
959
01:07:03,705 --> 01:07:06,025
-Did you not send for us, Lord?
-She said you needed us.
960
01:07:06,105 --> 01:07:07,145
And requested a guard.
961
01:07:07,225 --> 01:07:09,345
Danish girl, serves in Aethelstan's court.
962
01:07:10,785 --> 01:07:12,585
Finan, I sent no word.
963
01:07:13,185 --> 01:07:15,505
No command for you to leave Bebbanburg.
964
01:07:16,745 --> 01:07:19,225
[unsettling music playing]
965
01:07:26,585 --> 01:07:29,465
-[Sihtric] Stay here and guard the gates.
-[man] Yes, Lord.
966
01:07:31,425 --> 01:07:32,625
[Uhtred] Wolf-Warriors.
967
01:07:55,185 --> 01:07:56,785
[Uhtred] This is Anlaf's doing.
968
01:08:01,465 --> 01:08:02,585
[Finan] Ingrith!
969
01:08:05,585 --> 01:08:07,585
[breathes shakily]
970
01:08:18,865 --> 01:08:20,705
[Sihtric] Lord, where are they all?
971
01:08:22,625 --> 01:08:24,625
[breathes shakily]
972
01:08:30,185 --> 01:08:31,665
-[Uhtred] Eadgifu?
-Uhtred.
973
01:08:33,305 --> 01:08:34,145
What happened?
974
01:08:34,225 --> 01:08:36,585
[Eadgifu] When news reached us
of the attack and torture here,
975
01:08:36,665 --> 01:08:38,985
the abbess sent us to help the injured.
976
01:08:42,345 --> 01:08:44,385
But we cannot get to the injured.
977
01:08:48,705 --> 01:08:51,345
Where… Where is she? Where's my wife?
978
01:09:00,985 --> 01:09:02,705
"Seven kings must die," Lord.
979
01:09:03,265 --> 01:09:04,505
"Seven kings
980
01:09:05,425 --> 01:09:06,625
and the woman you love."
981
01:09:08,385 --> 01:09:10,105
Ingrith!
982
01:09:10,185 --> 01:09:13,065
-No. Ingrith!
-Every man is to help move it.
983
01:09:13,145 --> 01:09:14,225
You, up above.
984
01:09:14,305 --> 01:09:16,985
-[Finan] Can anyone hear me?
-[Uhtred] Watch for signs of Anlaf's men.
985
01:09:17,065 --> 01:09:19,545
We tried to help,
but all we could do was comfort them.
986
01:09:19,625 --> 01:09:22,385
Uhtred, Ingrith said
they threatened to return.
987
01:09:23,145 --> 01:09:26,505
-We must secure ourselves.
-Not until we rescue those within.
988
01:09:28,225 --> 01:09:29,825
When did you speak last?
989
01:09:30,745 --> 01:09:31,985
About three days ago.
990
01:09:35,105 --> 01:09:37,625
-[Finan] Get the rope up there!
-[man grunts]
991
01:09:37,705 --> 01:09:38,745
[Finan] Come on!
992
01:09:38,825 --> 01:09:41,105
[melancholy choral music playing]
993
01:09:41,185 --> 01:09:42,065
[Finan] Pull!
994
01:09:42,145 --> 01:09:44,185
[straining]
995
01:09:44,265 --> 01:09:45,385
[Finan] Pull!
996
01:09:47,425 --> 01:09:48,385
Pull!
997
01:09:48,465 --> 01:09:50,145
[straining]
998
01:09:54,225 --> 01:09:55,065
Pull!
999
01:09:58,705 --> 01:09:59,625
Now!
1000
01:10:13,865 --> 01:10:14,705
Finan.
1001
01:10:20,705 --> 01:10:21,545
Where is…
1002
01:10:24,705 --> 01:10:29,265
[in anguish] No!
1003
01:10:29,345 --> 01:10:31,345
[choral music continues]
1004
01:11:21,985 --> 01:11:23,825
[Uhtred] I brought this on them.
1005
01:11:26,985 --> 01:11:30,345
What they suffered is on Anlaf's account.
1006
01:11:33,825 --> 01:11:35,625
You cannot let this break you.
1007
01:11:37,225 --> 01:11:38,505
We are broken.
1008
01:11:38,585 --> 01:11:40,745
We have no allies. We're lost.
1009
01:11:40,825 --> 01:11:44,305
Then we must find the courage
to defend Northumbria from their return.
1010
01:11:45,665 --> 01:11:47,825
If we endure and keep them at siege,
1011
01:11:47,905 --> 01:11:51,065
we will give those
in other parts of England time to prepare.
1012
01:11:51,785 --> 01:11:53,185
Whatever we suffer
1013
01:11:54,265 --> 01:11:55,705
protects those we are apart from.
1014
01:11:55,785 --> 01:11:57,065
[Sihtric] She's right, Lord.
1015
01:11:57,145 --> 01:11:59,345
Osbert can cross the Irish Sea, get to--
1016
01:11:59,425 --> 01:12:00,385
The Irish Sea?
1017
01:12:02,425 --> 01:12:07,665
We must find the fastest horses. I think
Anlaf is hoping to turn all eyes here.
1018
01:12:08,665 --> 01:12:10,145
To lure Aethelstan.
1019
01:12:11,945 --> 01:12:16,665
But they will land where they have men.
Ingilmundr holds a garrison in the Wirral.
1020
01:12:17,905 --> 01:12:20,105
With… With our sons.
1021
01:12:21,545 --> 01:12:23,545
[frenetic music playing]
1022
01:13:05,865 --> 01:13:08,425
[blows horn]
1023
01:13:10,545 --> 01:13:12,145
[Osbert] Something's underway.
1024
01:13:12,665 --> 01:13:14,185
[men chat]
1025
01:13:14,265 --> 01:13:15,585
[man 1] I'm ready.
1026
01:13:15,665 --> 01:13:16,665
[man 2] Take care.
1027
01:13:16,745 --> 01:13:18,745
-[men shouting]
-[Osbert] Get in the cart.
1028
01:13:19,385 --> 01:13:23,185
Those of you with swords to your throats
face a decision.
1029
01:13:24,225 --> 01:13:26,945
A thousand ships
are heading towards these shores.
1030
01:13:27,465 --> 01:13:28,945
Some have already landed.
1031
01:13:29,665 --> 01:13:32,785
Within a week,
Saxon boroughs will be overrun.
1032
01:13:33,385 --> 01:13:36,785
Join us and fight the tyrant Aethelstan,
1033
01:13:37,665 --> 01:13:38,505
or die.

[soldier grunts]
1035
01:13:40,545 --> 01:13:41,705
For King Ed--
1036
01:13:41,785 --> 01:13:43,545
-[blows landing]
-[swords scraping]
1037
01:14:05,745 --> 01:14:07,385
-[Osbert] Keep still.
-[man] This way!
1038
01:14:08,345 --> 01:14:10,025
[woman] Yes, sir. I believe so.
1039
01:14:13,065 --> 01:14:14,905
We saw them, but they got away.
1040
01:14:16,305 --> 01:14:18,305
-There. Far away.
-Thank you.
1041
01:14:18,385 --> 01:14:19,625
[woman] Yes, my lord.
1042
01:14:20,545 --> 01:14:22,385
[Sihtric] No word from Thelwael, Lord.
1043
01:14:22,465 --> 01:14:23,985
[woman] Told them all I knew.
1044
01:14:28,065 --> 01:14:28,905
Sihtric.
1045
01:14:29,865 --> 01:14:30,705
Lord?
1046
01:14:31,825 --> 01:14:33,465
Do we finally face defeat?
1047
01:14:37,745 --> 01:14:41,585
All the warrior kings that I've known,
Ubba, Cnut, Bloodhair,
1048
01:14:42,745 --> 01:14:46,225
all have faced defeat in the end
and have taken others with them.
1049
01:14:47,625 --> 01:14:51,585
The fight was always coming, Lord.
No warrior dies a peaceful death.
1050
01:14:51,665 --> 01:14:54,865
She saw it all. "Seven kings must die."
1051
01:14:57,665 --> 01:14:58,905
We have hope.
1052
01:14:59,425 --> 01:15:02,105
In your heart,
you never wanted to be a king.
1053
01:15:14,825 --> 01:15:17,425
[Eadgifu] Have those fleeing
heard anything of my son?
1054
01:15:21,665 --> 01:15:23,265
Then until I know for sure,
1055
01:15:24,625 --> 01:15:25,505
he is alive.
1056
01:15:28,145 --> 01:15:32,745
And if conquest is easy, perhaps
Anlaf may be satisfied with Mercia.
1057
01:15:32,825 --> 01:15:35,625
-It is fertile--
-[Uhtred] He will not be satisfied.
1058
01:15:36,625 --> 01:15:39,745
They come Viking now
to extinguish an idea of England.
1059
01:15:41,105 --> 01:15:44,305
A dream unites a people
who once sought to kill each other.
1060
01:15:46,585 --> 01:15:49,625
Without it, we go back
into an age of darkness.
1061
01:15:49,705 --> 01:15:51,705
[solemn music playing]
1062
01:15:55,505 --> 01:15:57,345
We have both lost so much.
1063
01:15:59,265 --> 01:16:00,705
But I ask myself…
1064
01:16:04,105 --> 01:16:05,225
am I alive?
1065
01:16:10,225 --> 01:16:11,185
Can you feel it?
1066
01:16:13,545 --> 01:16:14,705
[Uhtred] You are alive.
1067
01:16:18,345 --> 01:16:19,185
So are you.
1068
01:16:22,985 --> 01:16:24,065
So we have hope.
1069
01:16:33,345 --> 01:16:35,345
[tense music builds]
1070
01:16:46,185 --> 01:16:47,145
[Uhtred] Edmund?
1071
01:16:48,785 --> 01:16:49,625
Osbert?
1072
01:16:51,345 --> 01:16:52,345
[Eadgifu] Edmund?
1073
01:17:10,145 --> 01:17:11,545
[jarring piano chord plays]
1074
01:17:13,265 --> 01:17:15,225
I came seeking Ingilmundr.
1075
01:17:18,065 --> 01:17:20,025
To prove that you had lied to me.
1076
01:17:22,905 --> 01:17:23,865
But you had not.
1077
01:17:28,065 --> 01:17:30,025
[Uhtred] We came to search for our sons.
1078
01:17:41,265 --> 01:17:43,025
Bring out Osbert and Edmund.
1079
01:17:43,785 --> 01:17:44,985
[jarring chord plays]
1080
01:17:53,505 --> 01:17:55,505
[music pounding]
1081
01:17:57,865 --> 01:17:59,985
[Eadgifu gasps, sobs]
1082
01:18:00,865 --> 01:18:01,705
[Uhtred] Osbert!
1083
01:18:04,185 --> 01:18:06,665
[Aethelstan] They hid themselves
and were spared the massacre.
1084
01:18:06,745 --> 01:18:07,905
[Eadgifu] Lord King,
1085
01:18:08,425 --> 01:18:10,225
you have my endless gratitude.
1086
01:18:11,385 --> 01:18:14,065
[Aethelstan] I've not been myself
this past year, and truly,
1087
01:18:14,145 --> 01:18:15,105
truly, I…
1088
01:18:15,825 --> 01:18:16,945
I pay for my sins.
1089
01:18:19,065 --> 01:18:22,385
I face a great alliance at Brunanburh.
1090
01:18:22,465 --> 01:18:24,265
All regret is worthless.
1091
01:18:25,505 --> 01:18:27,585
Let us speak only of the fight to come.
1092
01:18:28,185 --> 01:18:31,825
-Osbert, what have you learnt?
-They've set up camp on high ground.
1093
01:18:32,905 --> 01:18:34,385
And they have six armies.
1094
01:18:35,185 --> 01:18:37,065
Then seven armies
shall meet at Brunanburh.
1095
01:18:37,145 --> 01:18:39,145
I do not want you to fight for me, Uhtred.
1096
01:18:39,225 --> 01:18:41,545
-[Uhtred] Trust I'm on your side--
-I know that.
1097
01:18:42,425 --> 01:18:43,385
Save yourself.
1098
01:18:46,985 --> 01:18:48,945
Take your son to safety.
1099
01:18:49,625 --> 01:18:53,905
If I do not survive the battle,
then succession will be secure.
1100
01:18:53,985 --> 01:18:55,545
You cannot fight this alliance alone.
1101
01:18:55,625 --> 01:18:57,665
[Aethelstan] Yet I forbid you
from taking part.
1102
01:18:57,745 --> 01:19:00,465
Take him, Father Pyrlig.
Please, take them all.
1103
01:19:01,705 --> 01:19:04,825
-I've dragged you all to this fate.
-[Uhtred] Let us serve you.
1104
01:19:05,505 --> 01:19:06,385
Aethelstan…
1105
01:19:08,745 --> 01:19:10,305
this is not a punishment.
1106
01:19:10,385 --> 01:19:12,305
I think we both know that it is.
1107
01:19:15,145 --> 01:19:16,745
[Uhtred] This is martyrdom.
1108
01:19:17,505 --> 01:19:19,505
He will not survive so great a number.
1109
01:19:19,585 --> 01:19:21,585
But we have been reprieved.
1110
01:19:22,945 --> 01:19:26,505
-God is telling us to get to safety.
-Your god does not speak to me.
1111
01:19:26,585 --> 01:19:29,545
It is not cowardly
to spurn a battle that cannot be won.
1112
01:19:29,625 --> 01:19:30,665
It is.
1113
01:19:31,465 --> 01:19:34,305
However this prevails, I will have to know
I walked away from danger.
1114
01:19:34,385 --> 01:19:35,745
Your battles will come
1115
01:19:36,945 --> 01:19:38,545
when you become king.
1116
01:19:38,625 --> 01:19:40,705
King of where, Mother?
1117
01:19:42,505 --> 01:19:44,825
-We will fight with the shield wall.
-No.
1118
01:19:44,905 --> 01:19:46,745
-Osbert, are you ready?
-I've always been ready.
1119
01:19:46,825 --> 01:19:50,745
Pyrlig, you once told me
that it was my destiny to save England.
1120
01:19:50,825 --> 01:19:54,585
Hadn't seen it quite like this,
but then I'm not one for prophecies.
1121
01:19:54,665 --> 01:19:57,345
[Eadgifu] What if your destiny
is to protect Edmund?
1122
01:19:57,865 --> 01:20:01,865
Perhaps he is the one to unite England.
He could be the king who was worthy.
1123
01:20:01,945 --> 01:20:03,825
No king will form England.
1124
01:20:04,345 --> 01:20:05,705
This is what I see now.
1125
01:20:06,585 --> 01:20:10,385
Not Edmund or Edward or Alfred.
Not even Aethelstan.
1126
01:20:11,705 --> 01:20:14,025
Alfred's dream was of a united people.
1127
01:20:14,905 --> 01:20:17,945
And with these men,
from all parts, I fought for it.
1128
01:20:18,025 --> 01:20:20,345
What if our destiny
was not to form England,
1129
01:20:20,425 --> 01:20:24,625
but to form the English as one force?
1130
01:20:26,945 --> 01:20:30,785
Who better than a half Saxon, half Dane
to lead men from divided places?
1131
01:20:31,385 --> 01:20:32,225
[Uhtred] We go!
1132
01:20:33,865 --> 01:20:36,345
I don't have to call myself English, do I?
1133
01:20:43,865 --> 01:20:45,865

[music fades]
1139
01:21:19,905 --> 01:21:22,505
To hear that,
you'd think they'd won already.

-[trees rustling]
-[distant animals calling]
1141

[metal scraping]
1142
01:21:39,225 --> 01:21:40,465
[Uhtred] We should make our way.
1143
01:21:40,545 --> 01:21:43,265
If this is to work,
we need to be on the front line.
1144
01:21:43,785 --> 01:21:46,145
-We'll aim for their left side.
-Why?
1145
01:21:52,265 --> 01:21:53,145
Why the left?
1146
01:21:53,665 --> 01:21:56,705
Weaker. Most men fight
with the sword in their right hand.
1147
01:21:56,785 --> 01:22:00,345
I've fought with Uhtred many times.
Trust he will find a way.
1148
01:22:01,705 --> 01:22:02,785
You.
1149
01:22:04,825 --> 01:22:06,225
Where did you find that?
1150
01:22:06,305 --> 01:22:08,865
I bought it in Aegelesburg
for five pieces.
1151
01:22:10,825 --> 01:22:11,665
May I?
1152
01:22:33,065 --> 01:22:34,705
I will exchange it for this one.
1153
01:22:36,865 --> 01:22:40,225
It is worth much more,
and it has a garnet.
1154
01:22:41,145 --> 01:22:44,385
When I say exchange, I mean
you take that one, and I keep this one.
1155
01:22:48,385 --> 01:22:50,225
[Uhtred] I am no commander of yours.
1156
01:22:50,305 --> 01:22:54,065
I have no authority other than being
a man who has fought in many battles.
1157
01:22:56,145 --> 01:22:57,505
Some of you I have led before.
1158
01:22:59,065 --> 01:23:01,345
Today I stand with you
as a simple soldier.
1159
01:23:02,425 --> 01:23:04,745
But I ask that, on the field,
1160
01:23:04,825 --> 01:23:06,945
you once again let me guide you.
1161
01:23:08,225 --> 01:23:10,185
Our position on the hill is weak,
1162
01:23:10,825 --> 01:23:14,905
but the trees to our left give us
an advantage the enemy will not see.
1163
01:23:16,465 --> 01:23:17,625
We can defeat them
1164
01:23:18,465 --> 01:23:19,905
if we stay united.

-This is one way to clear the ale.
-Smell of a thousand armpits.
1169
01:23:50,985 --> 01:23:53,345
[Finan] Aye.
Maybe they smelled us and ran away.
1170
01:23:53,865 --> 01:23:55,945
-[Sihtric] Maybe.
-[Finan] Who touched my arse?

Uhtred.
1181
01:24:54,865 --> 01:24:56,865
-How do we face this?
-You see these bags?
1182
01:24:56,945 --> 01:24:59,105
Give them to the men
on the front line. Go.
1183
01:25:05,585 --> 01:25:07,665
[yelling]
1184
01:25:08,545 --> 01:25:10,785
[Uhtred] Do not raise your shield
until you have to.
1185
01:25:11,825 --> 01:25:14,345
Stay at ease. Stay relaxed.
1186
01:25:15,865 --> 01:25:18,625
-And do not show them we are unsettled.
-[Finan] Lord!
1187
01:25:19,505 --> 01:25:20,345
He's here.
1188
01:25:29,865 --> 01:25:32,145
[Anlaf] Here he comes. The tyrant himself.
1189
01:25:37,785 --> 01:25:38,985
[Uhtred] Is it done?
1190
01:25:40,345 --> 01:25:42,385
-Get back as far as you can.
-Yeah.
1191
01:26:05,745 --> 01:26:07,665

-Are we ready, arselings?
-[soldiers] Yeah!
1196
01:26:33,625 --> 01:26:35,345
I have taken their confessions.
1197
01:26:36,025 --> 01:26:37,945
When I ask you to give ground,
1198
01:26:38,945 --> 01:26:39,985
do it.
1199
01:26:40,065 --> 01:26:43,065
When you see the trees in front of you,
it will be time.
1200
01:26:43,145 --> 01:26:44,425
Do you think this will work?
1201
01:26:46,105 --> 01:26:48,865
If it does not,
we will not be here to see it.
1202
01:26:49,905 --> 01:26:50,745
Trust me.
1203
01:26:51,865 --> 01:26:52,745
And follow.

Back!
1211
01:27:15,705 --> 01:27:16,585
They retreat?
1212
01:27:17,745 --> 01:27:19,065
Even before we engage?
1213
01:27:19,145 --> 01:27:22,425
-Step back!
-[Anlaf] They know they have lost already.
1214

I thank God,
who I serve with pure conscience.
1217

God hath not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power…

-[soldiers grunt]
-…love…

-Two paces! One pace!
-Mm-hmm.
1234
01:29:08,585 --> 01:29:10,825
-On my command!
-[Finan] Let's hope this works!
1235
01:29:10,905 --> 01:29:12,265
Two paces back!
1236
01:29:12,345 --> 01:29:13,185
Back!
1237
01:29:14,145 --> 01:29:15,505
Step back!
1238
01:29:15,585 --> 01:29:16,825
One pace back!
1239
01:29:20,665 --> 01:29:22,825
[Anlaf] They back off. We have them.
1240
01:29:24,625 --> 01:29:26,265

01:29:26,345 --> 01:29:29,465

1243
01:29:41,385 --> 01:29:42,705
Step back!
1244
01:29:42,785 --> 01:29:44,505
[Sihtric] Go backwards!
1245
01:29:45,505 --> 01:29:47,745
For Shetland!
1246
01:29:47,825 --> 01:29:49,185
For Orkney!
1247
01:29:52,665 --> 01:29:53,705
Step back!
1248
01:30:00,545 --> 01:30:02,465
-Keep going!
-Keep going!
1249
01:30:02,545 --> 01:30:03,465
[Finan] Back!
1250
01:30:04,025 --> 01:30:06,585
Protect the line! Protect the line!
1251
01:30:12,905 --> 01:30:14,185
Step back!
1252
01:30:14,265 --> 01:30:16,865
[Finan] They'll overrun us
if we keep giving ground!
1253
01:30:16,945 --> 01:30:18,585
What are they doing along the flank?
1254
01:30:19,545 --> 01:30:22,905
[Constantin] Send a message
that Aethelstan is in front of us!
1255
01:30:23,425 --> 01:30:24,665
Step back!
1256
01:30:25,465 --> 01:30:26,865
Step back!
1257
01:30:26,945 --> 01:30:30,385
[Finan] The line's turning, Lord.
We're coming around!
1258
01:30:30,465 --> 01:30:32,785
Aethelstan is on the Scots' line, Lord.
1259
01:30:33,305 --> 01:30:34,225
Swine wedge!
1260
01:30:35,345 --> 01:30:36,745

Back!

01:31:13,865 --> 01:31:15,385
The wall will not hold!
1269
01:31:16,545 --> 01:31:19,105
[Uhtred] Aethelstan, hold the line!
1270
01:31:19,185 --> 01:31:21,945
-[Finan] How much longer, Lord?
-[Uhtred] We're almost there.

[strains]
1272
01:31:29,065 --> 01:31:31,745
They're breaking through
Aethelstan's line, Lord!
1273
01:31:32,425 --> 01:31:33,905
[Finan] We can't hold!
1274
01:31:33,985 --> 01:31:35,105
Step back!
1275
01:31:35,185 --> 01:31:37,345
Push forward!

[Uhtred] Aethelstan!
1281
01:32:01,665 --> 01:32:03,425
[Finan] Lord, trees!
1282
01:32:04,505 --> 01:32:06,825
We've turned them, Lord!
We've turned the line.
1283
01:32:07,345 --> 01:32:09,345
-[Uhtred] Give the signal!
-[runner] Yes, Lord.
1284
01:32:09,425 --> 01:32:11,665
-Something's not right.
-[Domnal] We've been turned around!

01:32:21,025 --> 01:32:22,625
Lord Uhtred orders the signal.

Hunt down their kings!
1291
01:33:16,105 --> 01:33:17,265
It's a trap!
1292
01:33:18,305 --> 01:33:19,265

Orkney, Man, Shetland,
1315
01:37:45,785 --> 01:37:49,305
Strathclyde, and Scotland, did not.
1316
01:37:49,385 --> 01:37:50,665
[Constantin] Each man here
1317
01:37:51,545 --> 01:37:53,625
has left behind an heir.
1318
01:37:53,705 --> 01:37:54,825
We wait.
1319
01:37:56,105 --> 01:37:59,185
Then attack those leaving the field
and return for our kin.
1320

[Shetland] Do not be
any more foolish, Anlaf.

[Anlaf] Orkney, we need to fight!

What is there to fight for?
1326
01:38:18,545 --> 01:38:20,665
I need a ship to get back to Irland.

Hey. Hey, you.

Tell me the truth.
1338
01:39:34,665 --> 01:39:37,705
When you find yourself before God,
you will have confessed.
1339
01:39:44,585 --> 01:39:45,705
I grew fond of you.
1340
01:39:48,385 --> 01:39:52,225
-But my love for my people prevailed.
-I chose you over my people.
1341
01:39:53,625 --> 01:39:55,985
Perhaps my gods are stronger than yours.
1342
01:39:59,025 --> 01:40:00,425
Then why am I living…
1343
01:40:02,785 --> 01:40:04,025
and you about to die?
1344
01:40:06,865 --> 01:40:09,065
Only fools try to understand destiny.

Did my son survive?
1353
01:42:10,905 --> 01:42:11,745
Yes.
1354
01:42:17,145 --> 01:42:19,145
[Osbert] And Bebbanburg is ours again.
1355
01:42:19,985 --> 01:42:23,625
-We will rebuild in stone.
-[Eadgifu] There is so much future.
1356
01:42:24,585 --> 01:42:26,065
Stay with us, Uhtred.
1357
01:42:29,225 --> 01:42:31,145
-What of the enemy?
-[Finan] The victory is ours.
1358
01:42:31,225 --> 01:42:34,665
Five sons of kings
lay dead upon the battlefield.
1359
01:42:35,865 --> 01:42:39,345
-Five kings that will never be crowned.
-[Finan] "Seven kings must die."
1360
01:42:39,425 --> 01:42:41,145
The prophecy was wrong, Lord.
1361
01:42:41,745 --> 01:42:44,785
With Edward of Wessex, it makes six.
1362
01:42:46,225 --> 01:42:47,705
Am I to be the seventh?
1363
01:42:49,585 --> 01:42:52,545
I have told the chroniclers
to write of your victory, Uhtred.
1364
01:42:52,625 --> 01:42:55,345
I have no wish
to be written into your history.
1365
01:42:56,025 --> 01:43:00,785
I want only to be honored
in the feast hall for standing by an oath.
1366
01:43:15,265 --> 01:43:17,465
Uhtred, you did not just stand by me.
1367
01:43:19,185 --> 01:43:20,385
You stood for me.
1368
01:43:22,825 --> 01:43:24,625
You led where I could not.
1369
01:43:26,305 --> 01:43:27,425
And you forgave me
1370
01:43:28,665 --> 01:43:30,225
when I was unforgivable.
1371
01:43:34,905 --> 01:43:36,705
You saved the hope of England.
1372
01:43:39,305 --> 01:43:41,305
Now in time, it may yet happen.
1373
01:43:44,305 --> 01:43:45,225
I said that…
1374
01:43:47,065 --> 01:43:49,785
if you proved yourself
to be the rightful king,
1375
01:43:51,305 --> 01:43:53,465
I would swear Northumbria to you.
1376
01:43:56,985 --> 01:44:00,145
Men have died
fighting under the name of the English.
1377
01:44:01,545 --> 01:44:04,105
To honor them, England should be formed.
1378
01:44:06,545 --> 01:44:08,665
But I have one condition.
1379
01:44:11,545 --> 01:44:14,705
You must make an oath never to marry.
1380
01:44:15,585 --> 01:44:16,465
No heirs.
1381
01:44:17,745 --> 01:44:20,585
So your brother Edmund
can take the throne unchallenged.
1382
01:44:30,025 --> 01:44:30,865
Thank you.
1383
01:44:46,945 --> 01:44:47,945
This oath
1384
01:44:48,865 --> 01:44:49,945
I shall swear.
1385
01:44:51,185 --> 01:44:53,185
Then we submit to you as our king.
1386
01:44:55,265 --> 01:45:00,225
Which makes you ruler
of Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia,
1387
01:45:01,425 --> 01:45:02,465
and Northumbria.
1388
01:45:05,065 --> 01:45:06,345
And I call my lands
1389
01:45:07,945 --> 01:45:08,785
England.
1390
01:45:12,585 --> 01:45:13,865
Long live the king!
1391
01:45:13,945 --> 01:45:15,545
[all] Long live the king.
1392
01:45:16,225 --> 01:45:18,625
[Uhtred] Long live the King of England.
1393
01:45:24,185 --> 01:45:25,745
Return to your chamber, Lord.
1394
01:45:30,025 --> 01:45:31,345
Do not grieve for me.
1395
01:45:31,985 --> 01:45:34,345
It was always written
that I would fall in battle.
1396
01:45:34,425 --> 01:45:36,185
[Finan] You're not gonna die, Lord.
1397
01:45:36,265 --> 01:45:39,785
-I would go first, and I'm still alive…
-[distant cheering]
1398
01:45:43,225 --> 01:45:44,065
So,
1399
01:45:45,745 --> 01:45:46,865
destiny is all.
1400
01:45:48,865 --> 01:45:50,865
[distant cheering]
1401
01:45:56,745 --> 01:45:58,745
[cheering continues]
1402
01:46:06,305 --> 01:46:08,305
[cheering continues]
1403
01:46:18,065 --> 01:46:20,065
[chanting]
1404
01:46:32,105 --> 01:46:33,825
-Skál!
-[revelers] Skál!
1405
01:46:34,905 --> 01:46:36,905
[emotional music playing]
1406
01:47:02,745 --> 01:47:04,465
[Finan] Did seven kings die?
1407
01:47:05,945 --> 01:47:09,305
The chronicles do not record
if my lord Uhtred survived.
1408
01:47:10,905 --> 01:47:12,825
But those like me, who knew him,
1409
01:47:12,905 --> 01:47:16,225
recognize him
as the greatest warrior of our age,
1410
01:47:17,705 --> 01:47:19,545
and a man who made a kingdom.
1411
01:48:06,545 --> 01:48:07,545
[song ends]
1412
01:48:08,705 --> 01:48:10,705
[ethereal music playing]
