3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,239
but raised by Danes
as a warrior.
4

I now serve Alfred,
the Saxon king of Wessex,
5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:16,200
and protect his last kingdom
of England from Guthrum
and his Viking army.

in the King.

be seen a pagan,

even through the eyes
of my pious
and now distant wife.
13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,319
And so to pay off
the debt on my land,
I plundered as a Viking would.

I should be executed.

He will become lost.
363
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,319
I guarantee it.
364
00:28:45,479 --> 00:28:49,239
Were you worried
that I would lose my way?
365
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,800
One path looks like another.
366
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,159
You have explored?
367
00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:56,200
A little.
368
00:28:57,239 --> 00:29:01,119
What do you notice
about this place?
369
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,280
It's wet.
370
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,680
There are no horizons.
371
00:29:07,159 --> 00:29:10,079
No sense of something beyond.
372
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,039
My priests have visited here
once or twice to preach.
373
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:18,400
The people are
oblivious to God.
374
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,319
You look tired.
375
00:29:25,959 --> 00:29:28,959
Sleep has been a rarity, yes.
376
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,119
My wife would like us
to take a ship to Frankia.
377
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:35,680
To become another
king in exile?
378
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,639
So, you admit
I am still a king?
379
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,319
We dare not travel.
380
00:29:44,479 --> 00:29:47,800
My son would never survive it.
381
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,479
You should send out word
that you are alive.
382
00:29:57,479 --> 00:30:00,600
Asking men to join you,
to follow you.
383
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,039
And then what? Fight?
384
00:30:03,159 --> 00:30:04,360
Is that what you would do?
385
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,519
It's what a king would do.
386
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,119
I have given it thought,
of course I have.
387
00:30:11,479 --> 00:30:13,439
And this much I know.
388
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,319
If I am to fight,
389
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:17,759
it would have to be
a single battle,
390
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:21,360
and soon before
yet more Danes arrive.
391
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,519
Before Wessex crumbles
392
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:26,239
skirmish by skirmish,
raid by raid, piece by piece.
393
00:30:26,239 --> 00:30:27,639
Therefore...
394
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Your first task would be to...
395
00:30:31,319 --> 00:30:32,519
Somehow...
396
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:38,560
Convince the Danes to hold
one great and deciding moment.
397
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:42,319
A single defining battle?
398
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,720
Yes.
399
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,039
Who should I send
400
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:48,479
out into the country
with the news I'm here?
401
00:30:48,479 --> 00:30:50,600
It would have to be
your priests, all of them.
402
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,800
Each in a separate direction.
403
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,200
Their prayers are needed here.
404
00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:59,680
Your son grows weaker
despite their prayers.
405
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:03,079
For that I'm sorry.
406
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,560
Every breath
is an effort for him. (SOBS)
407
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,720
I don't know whether
to make him warm
or keep him cool.

There is a way.

Though, it is not a good way.

If it is the only way,
421

then you must.

I am.
424
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,319
Iseult is a healer.
425
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,560
She could help your son.
426
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Thank you.
427
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,079
If you help,
then you better succeed.
428
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:10,280
If the child dies,
you'll be blamed.

We cannot do nothing.

00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:13,759
That is not what I'm saying.
431
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:17,079
Iseult is a Pagan
and a woman.
432
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,600
She will be blamed,
433
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,439
regardless of her
meaning well.
434
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,639
If it's true that Alfred
is in the swampland,
435
00:33:32,639 --> 00:33:35,360
how long do we wait
for him to come out?
436
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,680
If he is hiding
in the swampland,
437
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,439
we would be fools
to go searching.
438
00:33:38,439 --> 00:33:40,800
Have you seen
anything like this?
439
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,239
-The monasteries
keep words like this.
-No, no, no. Not like this.

What does it all mean?

I cannot say I care.
443
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:56,280
Whatever Alfred found out
about his enemies, he'd write.
444
00:33:57,039 --> 00:33:57,639
Yeah.

No, no, no, you're wrong.

This is...

00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:09,159
It is words without sound.

This is voices without people.

I am going to learn
how to use this magic.

And if we took Alfred,
he could teach you.
455
00:34:18,039 --> 00:34:23,439
Only a fool would march
an army into a swampland.

Are you that fool?
