BABY CRIES

WAVES CRASH

We can't sail against this.

Even with your father's
blessing to return to England,

it could be like this for weeks.

She might not have weeks.

BABY CRIES

Hey, it's all right.

Come on. Come on.
You're all right.

They're missing their father.

They miss their mother.

-Hangover?
-Ugh...

So this is your...

...newest recruit, is it?

I've got you.

What's that supposed to mean?

How many housecarls
have you conned

into joining your noble
quest back to England?

Oh, come on, Harold.
It's all over your face.

I want to come with you.

You want what?

Father will listen to your
plan if we agree to...

Sweyn, we never
agree on anything.

You know Father will be more
likely to give his blessing

if we stand together on this.

Fine.

Are you ready to go?

We set sail as soon
as the wind changes.

So you know where Edith is?

She's in our stockade.

What makes you think that?

Because the raiders
were Mercian,

which means the order
came from Lady Emma.

She wants the Godwins
dead. We escaped.

If they have Edith, then they're
going to be using her as bait.

And you just want to walk
right into their trap?

Well, it's only a
trap if we get caught.

FOOTSTEPS OUTSIDE

STARTLED GRUNT

Yeah...

-You little weasel.
-Tostig, what the hell are you doing out there?

I know what you're planning.
I want to come with you.

SWEYN LAUGHS

Absolutely no chance.

Let him make his case.

Have you seen him hunt?

I have seen YOU hunt, which
means you can shut your mouth.

You're getting rather too big
for your boots, Little Kettle.

Harold, please. I want to be a
part of this. I can help you.

Fine.

We need a boat.

Go to Count Baldwin and see
if you can negotiate one.

All right, I will.

Wait here.

That didn't mean you
could come straight back.

I paid for that
introduction, Judith.

-You should have at least stayed the full...
-Apologies, my lord. - Yes?

-You have a visitor.
-Yes...?

Yes?

I'm Tostig. I...

-And?
-And you were talking to me. We are not finished yet.

Wait.

Who are you?

Tostig Godwinson, son of Godwin.

And what can I do for
you, son of Godwin?

Hello, I'm over here.

Me and my brothers need use
of one of your boats, sir.

-A return trip to Wessex.
-Mm.

Sounds risky.

Judith, this is
Tostig Godwinson,

son of the Earl of Wessex,
currently in exile.

Nice to meet you, Tostig.

Tostig, this is
Judith. My niece.

My very eligible niece.

Are you married?

Me? No.

No? Any reason why?

Hm? You're all
there, aren't you?

Of course.

Er...

Just, marriage is
a lot to consider.

Why do you say that?

Well, I see happy
people get married,

and then they have children
who make them unhappy,

and then they fight over them for
reasons they should have resolved

before they had children
in the first place.

Ah. A philosopher.

Sorry, was that out of turn?

Does your father
know you're here?

No.

Your secret is safe with me.

Or let's say you
owe me a favour.

And a boat, if
you lose this one.

Thank you.

Of course.

-Nice arse.
-Patience.

King Henry's court's
filled with suitors,

and you've been
mentioned by name.

Are they as rich as
the English suitors?

Even the ones in exile?

Good question.

Flanders remains
neutral, Your Majesty.

If you attack, there's not a country
in Europe that'll stand for it.

I'm not here to start a war.
I'm here to prevent one.

The outcome of that is
in your hands, William.

War or peace.

I offer you the choice.

Just like you offered
my father a choice.

Your father chose to betray me.

And you betrayed me ever since.

What did he do to you,
Henry, that runs so deep?

What did he do?

He allied to another crown.

Maybe he discovered your secret.

You keep your allies
fighting each other

so they don't stand against you.

I gave you every chance to rule in
Normandy, with you and I as friends.

Now Normandy is mine,

and who would follow a bastard
against a king to get it back?

Stay in Flanders. Accept defeat.

Why did you keep me alive?

Easier to control a
child than an uprising?

Did you really think you were
the only bastard I had use for?

I've buried your
kind all over Europe.

And now I hear you have a son.

What a sad little bastard
he'll grow up to be.

If he makes it that far.

I can't wait to meet him.

Don't. Don't give
him the satisfaction.

There's only one
sad bastard here

and we're looking at him.

You are nothing,

William the Bastard.

Just like your father.

You are nothing without me!

We are outlaws...

...and if you're caught, it
will be an act of treason.

Edward will have you slit from
your throat down to your balls.

Father, I won't get caught.

How can you be questioning
this? She's my wife.

But you don't even know
if she's still alive.

I don't know that
she is not alive.

You think that's enough
reason to risk my men?

Well, they're all ready, Father.

Why are you so keen on this?

What part do you play?

Well, I'm... I'm
in charge, Father.

Well, that's good.

Taking responsibility.
That's very good indeed.

Father, this is
my responsibility.

-But Sweyn is the eldest.
-Edith is my wife.

Yes, and I will bless this so
long as Sweyn takes command.

Sweyn, you're seeing
straight, thinking right.

What about me?

What ABOUT you?

Tostig wants to come as well.

Absolutely not.

-Mother...
-He's not ready.

I AM ready.

I'll be the judge of that.

Tostig stays here.

Should be my choice.

It's my choice,

and you will remain here
with your mother and me.

-Doing what?
-As a guarantee.

SWEYN: - And you thought you
didn't have a purpose, Tostig.

Turns out you're the family's
vital seed carrier. Well done, you.

-Sweyn.
-Yes, sir.

You will command the mission,

but Harold will lead the raid.

What?

He's in charge of the best bit?

Edith's fate rests on
Harold's shoulders.

It's best for all concerned.

Because if Edith dies,

you'll never forgive any of us.

That's my decision.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Are you thirsty
in there, are you?

Drink up, Wessex scum.

MOCKING LAUGHTER

Do you think they'll kill her?

I tell you, that
would be a shame.

-What do you mean by that?
-Have you seen her?

So this is the little man your
father's been going on about.

Cousin.

Has your father tried
to marry him off yet?

Is that where he's had you?

Yes.

Sent to the Duke of
Pavia for inspection.

All that prodding and poking
and grabbing your teeth

makes you feel like a horse.

I don't suppose you've got any
spare men lying about the place.

Hasn't your William got
some sort of a half-brother?

Oh! You're not that desperate.

Shame.

But what do you know about these
Englishmen who've shown up?

There's a curious one. Taking
a definite shine to me.

Exiles.

Are things that bad?

I just don't fancy being groped

by some rancid Italian
skeleton for the next 20 years.

Man's about 300,

and he wouldn't match the dowry.

How's that supposed
to make a girl feel?

Shitty.

You got to choose
the man you married.

How'd you manage that?

Told suitors exactly what I
thought, and kept doing it...

...until the right
one came along.

They were scared of you.

No.

They were scared of my father.

William wasn't.

William wasn't.

Well, apparently King Henry
might have some suitors for me.

Oh, joy.

How do you know?

Your father told me, just now.

He's been in contact with Henry?

That's what he said.

When?

Well, I don't know.
I'm not his keeper.

William, my father
has been lying to us.

He's been in contact with
Henry. He's kept it from us.

He's betrayed us?

No. I'm certain he hasn't.

You wouldn't be here otherwise.

He's just playing both
sides of the game,

making sure he's on the
winning side, no matter what.

Does he know that you know?

I don't think so.

Well, then we can use this.

If your father's in
contact with Henry,

then he's going to help us
whether he knows it or not.

And Henry will believe
every word of it.

I'm going to kill Henry.

Robert will be free.

It's the only way to ensure he grows
up without a target on his back.

Huh. So you washed
up in Flanders too?

Sorry about your wife.

-You heard about that?
-Well, it's Flanders. News travels.

Is she alive?

I wish I knew.

What are you going to do now?

Without her...

...might just kill every
living thing in the world.

Hm.

But she wouldn't
want that, so...

Mine would.

William, you have to help me.

-With your wife?
-Emma and Edward ordered the attack on our stockade.

He's your cousin. Surely
you can tell me something.

Harold, I can't help you.

The man is mad, and
I hardly know him.

Maybe it's better...

...not to be in
each other's debt.

You trust your wife.

That's...

...a difficult thing to lose.

She might be the
only one I trust.

I used to have people I trusted.

When I was young.

They betrayed me. All of them.

But I do...

...I do trust my wife.

There has to be
someone in here, right?

Mm.

Where would you be
without that person?

Mm?

No.

What would YOU be
without any of them?

Hm.

Well, I would be earl.

And you'd make a good earl.

You think?

Well, from what I
see, you seem worthy.

And what about you?

Without any one of them,

those people who have been
there from the beginning.

What would you be?

Without Henry...

...I would be free.

It's difficult to fathom.

Standing beside
someone for so long.

I've looked up to
him my whole life.

Maybe you're just
better than him.

Maybe you and I are
better than all of them.

Maybe it's that simple.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

SHOUTING

MAN SCREAMS

The dagger!

Who did they come for?

BOTH: For me.

SWEYN: - Gather round.

This...

...is a noble quest...

...and it is my great honour,

as your future Earl of Wessex,

to lead you on it.

Look, if any of you want to
turn back, now is your chance.

Come on!

Your brothers have left.

I know.

You feel left out?

Never been in.

Well, I, for one, am happy
you're staying behind.

What?

No, it's just when...

...I saw you before, I...

-I...
-What is it?

You're just so...

...beautiful.

That's it?

That's your big gambit?

It's true.

All right.

How beautiful?

Like...

Like a cherry stone.

Like you were a part
of me from the...

...beginning. Part of my...

...flesh growing around
this...this seed...

...that I never knew how to
find, not until I saw you.

Just...

I see you.

I see you, just...

...beautiful.

Beautiful.

Do you always talk like that?

I do when you're around. I...

I wonder...

Wow.

THEY LAUGH QUIETLY

Their last stand so we
could reach the boats.

What a waste of wine.

I'd like to bury the bodies.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Bury our men.

Bury our men.

Bury them with full honours.

We leave them where they are.

What?

If we bury them, they'll
know that we've been here.

HE CLICKS TONGUE, HORSE WHINNIES

Yeah. Right.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

SHE GASPS

LAUGHTER OUTSIDE

Be ready with cover.

I still say we should
attack from the front.

Sweyn, enough.

We're doing this my way,
just as Father told you.

Do you hear me?

How many do you count?

Maybe a dozen.

A dozen?

We can take a dozen.

We've got the
element of surprise,

and we can create a diversion
for Harold this way.

My Lord, your brother's
orders were very clear.

My brother's orders?

Sneaking about in the shadows?

Did King Alfred take his
victory by just sneaking around?

Actually, my lord,
that's exactly...

No, exactly. And
neither shall I.

SHEEP BLEATS

THUD

Follow me!

SHE CRIES OUT

Raiders in the stockade!

BELL RINGS

Oh, Sweyn!

MEN SHOUT

BELL TOLLS

BIRDS CAW

NEW PRISONER BREATHES SHAKILY

I can't keep withdrawing
from the Royal Treasure

without the King's permission.

I am the King's mother - we
don't need his permission.

-Your Majesty.
-I see you.

What's your game?

I know what you did in Wessex.

I know the order to
attack was yours.

Earl Morcar doesn't have
the liver for such things.

So you and I, it seems,
are playing the same game.

Only now I am very
clear on the rules.

I will see you later at table.

DOOR CLOSES

Mother?

Is everyone lurking
in the shadows today?

Are you coming to Mass?

DISTANT SINGING IN LATIN

Edward,

I'm beginning to wonder

if the well being of your
wife wouldn't be better suited

to the safety of a house of God.

This IS a house of God.

A nunnery.

Surely that girl is of no
further use to us here.

She is my queen and
God made her so.

-I cannot disobey...
-You're not listening to me.

No.

No, YOU are not listening to US.

God didn't put
you on the throne.

I did.

You will not forget that.

DOOR OPENS

Where is Edith? Where's
my wife? Is she alive?

If you have done something
to her, Morcar...

So this is what you got
for betraying us, Morcar?

Control over Wessex?

Lady Emma made her feelings
about your father very clear.

You never stood a chance.

I simply took advantage
of an opportunity,

and, in return, for playing my
part, I got what I was promised.

We saw what you
did here, Morcar.

Our men slaughtered on
the road and left to rot.

Where is my wife?

Where is Edith? Is she alive?

She's alive.

Where are the rest
of our people?

I don't know. Bristol,
Dublin, maybe.

-The slave markets. Is that where Edith was sent?
-No.

I sent her to London.

Lady Emma will choose her fate.

You gave Edith to Lady
Emma to keep her sweet?

How long do you
think that will last?

If you're afraid of Lady
Emma, then she feeds off it.

-You will never be rid of her.
-I'm afraid of nothing.

Ah, well, then you're a fool.

I'm the only one who can
protect you from her, Morcar.

Who would you rather deal
with, Lady Emma or the Godwins?

Your father swore
never to return.

My father is not standing
in front of you right now,

offering you a deal.

-I am.
-Harold...

Shut up.

Wessex and Mercia do
not have to be enemies.

Morcar, I'm offering
you a fresh start.

Free of Lady Emma.

Imagine that.

Say I did agree...

...what assurances would I have?

I'll give you half the plunder
from the Royal Treasury.

And you swear to this, do you?

On your children's lives?

Yes.

All three of them?

All three of them?

Oh, my.

He didn't know.

I have to go to Normandy and
speak to the barons in person.

To fight Henry, I'll
need their allegiance.

Do not let Henry catch you.

Come back.

I can't live without you.

-Yeah. It's good.
-You like it? -Yeah.

It's very good. It's very good.

INAUDIBLE SPEECH

The dowry?

Acceptable.

The land?

Agreed.

-And the wedding?
-Soon.

But let them both think
they're leading this.

It's smoother in the long run.

Great.

Good.

Don't you think Judith knows
you're putting them together?

What does it matter
if they're happy?

Hm?

There's no free will
when it comes to love.

It all comes down to
circumstances and timing.

My marriage to William,
you had no hand in that.

Right?

Of course not.

No-one can tell
you what to do. Hm?

How does it feel to be home?

It's not home yet.

Not while Henry's still
alive, roaming the place.

We need to make sure Henry's
spies know we're here,

in Normandy, gathering support.

A trap.

Henry's the one who'll
be setting a trap.

You remember the estuary at
the mouth of the River Dives?

Henry has to believe I'm going to
cross the estuary with an army.

All my forces in one place
at the same time, vulnerable.

He'll only break his cover

if he thinks he has the
element of surprise.

If he's convinced of victory
before the fight has even begun.

Henry is cautious, but he'll
always go for the easiest kill.

So, yes.

Henry will think he's
setting a trap...

But his arrogance
will blind him.

Exactly.

Send word to the barons
and set up a meeting.

Tell them to come alone.

We should return to Flanders
first thing in the morning.

I'm not going back without her.

She is alive.

She is with child.

My lord...

Listen to your brother.

An attack on London
itself is madness.

None of us would survive.
Your wife and child included.

That is why we are
not going to London.

But we're not going
to Flanders either.

If they have Edith, then what they
expect me to do when I find out

is to attack London
without hesitation.

That is what they want me to do.

And you'd be dead before
you pass the gates.

I would be dead before
I pass the gates.

There is only one
way to get to Edith.

And I need the earls to do it.

-Harold...
-It is the only way, Sweyn.

We have Mercia's backing.

Morcar gave us his word.

And you trust him to keep it?

You saw the fear in his eyes.

That was not an empty promise.

We have Mercia.

All we need is Siward
in Northumbria.

Mercia is one thing,

but Northumbria...?

Siward is a northerner, Harold.

Have you ever tried to
talk reason to one of them?

It's like...

It's like juggling mud.

But if I CAN convince him,

then we will have all three
earldoms united behind us.

That is enough power
to unseat the King.

Or force him to give
us what we want.

You're assuming the
people of Wessex,

under the yoke of the King now,

will just...

...fall into line.

They will follow an earl.

And you would tell Father that?

You would tell him

that Wessex needs a new earl?

That is exactly what
I will tell him.

Northumbria, then.

Northumbria.

WILLIAM: You are the barons,
the strength of Normandy.

Henry has kept us all at each
other's throats for years.

Because he fears our power.

Kept us divided for too long.

Well, I, for one, will
no longer be his fool.

And if Henry came for me,

it's only a matter of time
before he comes for all of you.

I'm offering you the chance
to change everything.

United, we are
stronger than Henry.

All of us, together.

Are you with me...

...or against me?

Fuck him.

Richard,

I will win.

If Henry falls for your trap.

The Duke's plan will work.

It's not that many of them.

There will be ten times
more hidden among the rocks.

Earl Siward.

Which, uh, Godwin are you?

-Harold.
-Sweyn.

Tell me, why would
the great Earl Godwin

send his children
to plead his case?

He didn't.

What's that around your neck?

You are married
in the Danish way?

So Godwin does
remember who he is.

Godwin kept the King's peace.

He was betrayed.

But then you know that.

I've heard the whispers.

You also kept the King's peace.

You still share common ground.

Do we? And what ground is that?

King Edward lied to all of us.

Wessex, Mercia...
and Northumbria.

You think I give any interest
in what that suckling says?

So why did you ride south
to stand beside him?

Because it pleased me to do so.

Or the King's mother bought you.

So...

...what can you offer me
that Lady Emma did not...

...Harold Godwinson?

The truth, Earl Siward.

Lady Emma lied to you,
just as she's lied to us.

She wouldn't dare to
betray Northumbria.

Not while I'm alive.

And what about when you're dead?

Think of your kin.

This is the only way to
protect them from Lady Emma.

My health may be failing,

and I'm old enough to have seen
every son I sired die in battle.

My future now is a handful of
grandchildren, far from ready.

Tell me, when I'm dead,

can Wessex offer
Northumbria and me

a future that
ensures their safety?

It can.

I give you my word, as a Godwin,

that while Wessex lives,

Northumbria lives.

My brother and I can ensure
your legacy, not Lady Emma.

Your family will be protected.

We will place a Godwin
earl in Northumbria,

but only until your
grandson is of age.

Then, perhaps,

if I had the call,

riding south to stand
beside King Edward

may not please me a second time.

Why?

Who else will do it?

I was like you.

But then... I wasn't.

To become...

To become a part of
something so whole.

To feel two hearts
beating inside.

Two souls.

I'll treasure it always.

Protect it.

An assault on London
is a suicide mission.

We have Mercia and Northumbria
on our side, Father.

We have control of the earls.

I gave my word I would never
return to England as Earl.

I gave the King my word.

But you...

...never gave him mine.

You?

No. What? I'm the
one to be earl.

We are heading
towards war, Father.

I'm the only one who
can get us through this.

The men won't follow
him. I saw it.

That's bollocks!

Our people are scattered. I
can raise an army big enough.

Father, I cannot believe
you're listening to this.

Wessex will rise again,
but only behind an earl.

The people of Wessex will not
follow Sweyn. Father, you know this.

This is madness.

Wessex loves me.

I love Wessex!

Father, I'm your successor.

You promised me.

I never said that.

You never stopped
me from thinking it.

That... that's the same as a
promise. It's still a promise!

Sweyn, you've had every opportunity
in the world. You're not up to this.

I just risked my life trying
to save you and your wife.

No, you didn't. You
risked your life

so that you could tell everyone
that you risked your life.

-Fuck off, Harold.
-Look where it got us.

Nearly got everyone
killed on that raid.

You lost your mind
during the coronation.

Everyone knows you take
advantage of your position.

Father, as earl, I am
the one that makes sense.

How long have you been
planning this behind my back?

And you?

Have you been encouraging this?

This travesty?

Oh, I see all sorts of
things in your faces.

Now I can see it! Now I see!

Sweyn!

Northumbria will be yours.

What?

When Siward dies, you
will get Northumbria.

A stand-in for Northumbria?

Brothers do not
betray each other.

What am I to do, Harold?

Is Sweyn right?

Has this been in your
head from the start?

You think that I want this?

To... to... step
over my brother?

Father, I'm doing this
because I have no choice.

And is this really for Wessex?

For Edith?

For our future?

Edith, the children
- they ARE Wessex.

You be careful, Harold.

I am doing what is right.

Then so be it...

...Harold, Earl of Wessex.

Go to England,

confront the King,

take back what's ours.
