AN ORIGINAL SERIES FROM NETFLIX

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,040
<i>I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.</i>
<i>I helped the Saxons defeat the Danes.</i>

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,320
<i>Cnut was killed,</i>
<i>but I let Brida suffer a worse fate.</i>

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,840
Send me to Valhalla.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,880
-Take the heathen!
-Brida!

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,120
<i>While Aethelred lay dying,</i>
<i>new dangers arose in Aegelesburg.</i>

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,560
Aelfwynn is to be betrothed to the heir to the throne,
so the kingdoms are united.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,439
-Tender!
- I am worried about our daughter.

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,120
So what do you want?

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,880
Don't give her away to a heartless fool.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,280
- The king wants to promise your daughter to me.
-No. I do not agree to that.

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Lock Aethelflaed in until this is over.

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,200
<i>She was saved by an unexpected helper.</i>

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,800
I have alerted your guard.
He stands outside.

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,480
<i>And I have promised to protect Aelfwynn</i>
<i>on the dangerous road.</i>

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Get the children into the carriage, Stiorra!
We are going to Ceaster.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,680
<i>Fate decides.</i>

18
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,560
BASED ON CORNWELL'S BOOKS

19
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,200
-Stop crying!
- Please be kind.

20
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,960
{\an8}-She misses her mother.
- We had no mother.

21
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,560
{\an8}Be stronger. Be grateful.
This is better than getting married off.

22
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Are we stopping?

23
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,360
No. Edward and his men
is at most half a day behind us.

24
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,600
We have to pick up the pace to make it.

25
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,680
-I have orders from Lady Aethelflaed.
-Did your brother send you?

26
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,480
He knows nothing.
He imprisoned the lady, but I released her.

27
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Should I believe it?

28
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,480
- I'm not lying.
-How did you find us?

29
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,160
According to the lady
did you talk about going to Ceaster.

30
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,320
She is alone.

31
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,880
-And you rode here alone?
-Yes. Meet her at St. Milburga's monastery.

32
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,840
- We have passed the road to St. Milburga.
- It could be a trick.

33
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,000
I have kept my promise.
Believe me or not.

34
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,360
-Where are you going?
- The same.

35
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,960
- I have family in Frankia.
- It's the wrong way.

36
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:37,480
There is a harbor at Ceaster.
We can show you the way.

37
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,440
Then we have her under control.

38
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440
- I'm tired of being controlled.
-Then travel alone.

39
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
When did Aethelflaed leave?

40
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Yesterday, in a hurry. With little silver
and only Lord Aldhelm as guardian.

41
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,920
Then she may have reached Wenloca.
We should ride back and meet her.

42
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,120
We shouldn't, lord.
If she found us, so can they.

43
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
- Are you good with children?
-Not really.

44
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Excellent. Neither do we. We're turning!

45
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,920
We take Uhtred's property and his children.
He must be punished for the abduction.

46
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,160
His children are enough with him.
He was seen with several children.

47
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,560
Don't say anything about this.
We must maintain a certain calm.

48
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,000
The earls are uncertain.
They want my engagement approved.

49
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,680
- Then say that I have decided.
-With all due respect: You do not have the last word.

50
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Lord King. The priests say
that Aethelflaed's mourning chamber is empty.

51
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,960
- She has left Aegelesburg.
- She and Uhtred are betraying us.

52
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,440
- Your sister, Eadith, must have released her.
- All traitors must be forced to their knees!

53
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Sorry. I am frustrated.

54
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,200
Aethelflaed mourns and is beside himself.
Send someone for her.

55
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:29,200
-Mercia's army can...
-No, Cenric's men.

56
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,280
You stay here,
so people think that everything is as it should be.

57
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,960
They must hurry. The rift threatens.

58
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,880
Ludeca is satisfied, but Burgred
eggs the earls against the betrothal and Wessex.

59
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,520
What if the earls find out
that the ladies are gone?

60
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920
They don't get to know that,
for we shall find them.

61
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,920
No thanks. You can break
a tooth on the dry bread.

62
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,360
Let the children have the freshest bread.
My men have the stomach of a dog.

63
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,320
- True. I actually ate a dog once.
-So that's why you're barking?

64
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,640
You are kinder than reputation suggests.
Lady Aethelflaed has a good servant.

65
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080
I don't serve her.
But I respect her.

66
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,840
I only wanted to protect my brother.

67
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,920
-Did he protect you too?
- You know the answer to that.

68
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:36,480
No! Father!

69
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Turn! The road is closed.

70
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,160
Let go!

71
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,720
- Away!
-Stop!

72
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Keep your distance! They have a disease!

73
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,600
It was out of kindness.

74
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Which hand did he take?

75
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
-Leave her alone.
- It's contagious, lord.

76
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,560
Only through the air. Are you affected?

77
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,880
-No.
-Go.

78
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,320
-And the animals. We should kill the horses.
-What if I breathed in the air?

79
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,920
- No danger. Only sinners are affected.
- No, it's up in the air.

80
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,120
- Anyone can be affected.
- We should go back.

81
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,680
- If there is disease there...
-We are defenseless against Edward's men.

82
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Rather die in battle, lord.

83
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,840
We take a detour to Wenloca
and avoids the bad air.

84
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,880
- The children won't be able to handle it.
- We leave them. In a safe place.

85
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,200
- I will not leave the children.
-But lord...

86
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,720
I have followed you without complaint,
but do not do this to us.

87
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,920
We have to change the plan, Finan.

88
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,760
We put the horses in a safe place.
Then we take a detour to Wenloca. On foot.

89
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,120
We are not going to get sick.

90
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,640
-Okay?
-Yes.

91
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,880
We find Aethelflaed and go to Ceaster.

92
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Now we hide the horses.

93
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:51,360
{\an8}-A this monastery?
-Yes, look at the stone.

94
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,960
- We have to get off the road.
- I will stay here until my daughter arrives.

95
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Imagine if Edward's men have taken her?

96
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,440
She may be trapped,
without knowing where I am.

97
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Don't think like that.
Uhtred wants to save her and find us.

98
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,480
-He has never let you down.
- Nevertheless, it feels that way.

99
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Alfred's daughter, outlaw in her own kingdom...

100
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,040
Your father lived like this for a while.
He survived and enjoyed success.

101
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,560
-In time we will go to Aegelesburg again.
- I'm not so sure.

102
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,840
I fear
that there is no going back.

103
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,040
- They may spare me, Aldhelm, but...
-I understand, lady.

104
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,160
It's not long.
Be strong. Think of your brother.

105
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,320
-Who let you into the king's room?
- I show my son where he should sleep.

106
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,360
You are a fool to do this, Burgred.
Do you want to lose another son?

107
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:19,280
I'm not afraid of Edward's nodding doll.
I have greater forces on my side.

108
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,120
-What powers?
- No one else but God himself.

109
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,760
We survived the massacre for a reason.
God wants us to restore Mercia.

110
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,280
In any case, I will be engaged to the child
and take over the throne.

111
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,160
If you are so sure,
why hasn't it happened?

112
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,280
I think the king is hiding something from us.

113
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360
So we wait for the right moment.

114
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,200
- The population is increasing.
- Yes, army commander.

115
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,680
-They have heard of Aethelred's death.
- They want protection.

116
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,520
I have something more important to attend to.
Give me 12 men.

117
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:22,040
Wessex can't do it.
We must find the escapees.

118
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,560
-Some of these must have seen them.
- We'll find them soon.

119
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,600
Lord Ludeca!

120
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,600
- I bring news. The disease is spreading.
-Thanks. Come on again.

121
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,400
-Anything new?
-Not yet.

122
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
- Could they have gone north?
-Possible.

123
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,840
- Let them keep looking.
- We're running out of time. People are angry.

124
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,560
- Is everything ready, Pyrlig?
- We should postpone all ceremonies.

125
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,840
The disease is spreading.
People leave the villages.

126
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,440
It ravages worse than the Danes.
We must protect Aegelesburg.

127
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
-Close the gates.
- We cannot fail the sick.

128
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360
We risk spreading. Close the gates!

129
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,880
-Put your foot down, lord king.
- No, Ludeca is right.

130
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,640
- We must protect all Saxons.
- We cannot reject people in need.

131
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,080
We must protect the city, Burgred.
The other earls agree.

132
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,120
I hope that it is worth obeying him.

133
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,640
- We should let them in. They are scared.
- Then they scare the others.

134
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,840
If you put your foot down,
the council thinks you want to conquer us.

135
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Also, Burgred has no warriors.
Don't give him a ready army.

136
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,520
- I agree. Close the gates.
- Close the gates!

137
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Close the gates!

138
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,720
{\an8}KINGDOM OF WESSEX

139
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,400
Where is lady Aelswith?
Who helped her and failed us?

140
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,000
Leave the frogs alone!

141
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:18,560
-Was it wrong to oppose the engagement?
-No. You want to protect her.

142
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:26,000
Maybe I should have accepted it.
I was married off young and survived.

143
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Lady... Your husband wished you dead.

144
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Maybe that's the way kings are.
I should have prepared Aelfwynn for that.

145
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Hurry up! It is not safe to be here.

146
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,120
- Are the Danes back?
-No. The disease affects young and old.

147
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,720
-Avoid the bad air.
- The disease has been gone for years.

148
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,840
Follow us. We are going north.

149
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,120
-Follow them.
-No. Then we don't meet Aelfwynn.

150
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,640
Don't be stupid.
The disease affects everyone, regardless of rank.

151
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,080
Rather than leave my child.
Don't ask again.

152
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,600
He is heavier than he seems.

153
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,560
-What is it?
- I have hay fever. I'm not sick!

154
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,120
- The disease does not strike so quickly.
- You should have known.

155
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Hey, how many times do I have to say that?
Don't do that.

156
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320
-Who are you really?
- I'm nobody.

157
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,800
He is Aethelstan, Edward's eldest son.

158
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,760
Edward's Hidden Child!
How has he survived?

159
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,880
Because he wants to bother me. Or what?

160
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,920
Take care of him, Finan. He has blue blood.
Welcome to life as an illegitimate child!

161
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:25,119
-Smell. They burn corpses.
- Then the disease is nearby.

162
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,839
No one has passed for hours.
They must have closed the roads.

163
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,280
Uhtred has probably gone towards Ceaster.
We should do it too.

164
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,240
-Is it far to go?
-Stop asking!

165
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,560
It is at the end of the meadow.
We will probably see the cross soon.

166
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,840
-We are looking for warriors with children.
- Did they spread the disease?

167
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,080
- The road is full of disease.
- We don't fear it.

168
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,960
- It only affects sinners.
-Is that true?

169
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,920
- Out of the way. I'm leaving here.
- I don't want to get sick.

170
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,280
I'll double the pay of anyone who stays!

171
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,640
-What are you looking for, Finan?
-Equal!

172
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,560
What?

173
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,160
-Equal! The disease is near.
-Why are you so afraid?

174
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,520
I have seen men be
strong as a bear for breakfast

175
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,520
and choke on blood and pus before dinner,
you little brat!

176
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320
Don't leave Aelfwynn in the sun.
It's not good.

177
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:25,080
- I'm tired of looking after her.
- It is good practice for life as a wife.

178
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,960
I'm not going to get married.
It's not worth the effort.

179
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,000
Lady Aethelflaed is not coming.
We leave before the disease takes us.

180
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,680
- I promised her to summon you, lord.
- She must have come here first.

181
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,040
She has probably continued to Ceaster. Come on.

182
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,920
Hello. Look at Aelfwynn.

183
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:34,280
- She is red in the face. She is sick.
- She just needs rest, like all of us.

184
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,920
-Come on.
- I'll talk to him.

185
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:47,960
How long have we traveled, lord? For two days?
And Edward's men are nowhere to be seen.

186
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,120
They are not known here. The children need rest.

187
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Are you worried about your father's grandson,
Osferth?

188
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,800
This is a good place.

189
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,840
- We are spending the night here.
- Now you can sleep.

190
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Have the escapees been found?

191
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,880
No. People are fleeing in droves,
but no one has seen your sister.

192
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720
Imagine if she got sick,
and we put her in danger?

193
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,000
- She left of her own free will.
-Did she do it?

194
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,160
Ask them to burn herbs in the area.
Let the smoke clear the air.

195
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Then at least we can do something good.

196
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,200
Eardwulf has left Aegelesburg
with 12 men. Why is he leaving now?

197
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840
He has gone to help the lady.

198
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:10,320
- The man cares about his fiancee.
- He cares about himself.

199
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,880
He does it only for wealth.
Everyone here could have told you that.

200
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,360
-Has Eardwulf gone after Aelfwynn?
-Yes.

201
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,640
You said he would follow our orders.
I asked him to stay here.

202
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,000
He is a man of action,
no politician.

203
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,200
In the future you should give me
better advice on who we should trust.

204
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,160
Good morning, princess.

205
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,440
Anyone who has a fox, we leave.

206
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,320
The gates are closed!
Aegelesburg is unavailable.

207
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Lord Aethelhelm! Explain this.

208
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,280
The earls have given orders for
to close the gates.

209
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:04,280
- There is disease here.
- Talk to my son.

210
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,440
Please,
but he doesn't want you to be hit.

211
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,360
He probably wants you to leave Mercia.

212
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,600
Say I survived the swamps of Athelney
and do not fear the disease.

213
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,080
Lord? We should go.

214
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,360
Take care of it.

215
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,480
- Was it her?
- I saw her myself.

216
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,840
She will be in Winchester.

217
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,640
Why is mother locked out, Ludeca?

218
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,920
- The order applies to everyone.
- This is Alfred's wife.

219
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,960
We must not risk it
to let the disease into the city.

220
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,720
- The king's mother cannot be treated like this.
- Yes, according to the council.

221
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,400
She is Mercian
and defied me to help you.

222
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,480
- She turns around if she cares.
-And roam around like a beggar? Never.

223
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,880
If you make an exception for your mother,
you override Mercia's wishes.

224
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Tell them to open the gates.

225
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,880
I do not have the authority to
to speak for the king.

226
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:11,600
The Earls are overruled!
Open the gates immediately!

227
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,200
He makes the people of Mercia suffer
and save their own?

228
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:47,720
You were probably right, Burgred.
King Edward will conquer us.

229
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,160
Why are you here?
Has something happened in Winchester?

230
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Nothing but
that I was threatened on your behalf.

231
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,240
- I did not order imprisonment.
-So what happened?

232
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,520
I asked them to punish you.

233
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,040
What a humiliation it was
to receive such treatment.

234
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,360
- It wasn't me who gave the order!
-So who treated me like that?

235
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:21,160
- I don't know. It was a mistake.
-A mistake? Or maybe the girl lied.

236
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,360
If you mean the queen, then no.
Aelflaed is kind-hearted.

237
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,880
Lord Aethelhelm, then.
He despises me and wants to get rid of me.

238
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,440
He doesn't speak for me.

239
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,960
- He probably has a plan.
-You know others by yourself.

240
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,840
That's enough arguing, Edward.
I just want to meet Aethelflaed.

241
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,560
She is not here.
She's out there with Uhtred Ragnarson.

242
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,200
Is she out on sick leave?

243
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,880
She chose to go with him
and leave life as a widow.

244
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,520
- Then Uhtred forced her.
- It doesn't seem that way.

245
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Then she is mad with grief.
Do the people know about this?

246
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,160
They will never know about it.

247
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:13,720
But your father will see it. From above.
Alfred will see it and be distraught.

248
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,120
{\an8}THE KINGDOM OF DEHEUBARTH

249
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,080
The female warrior benefits herself,
I see.

250
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Imagine that men died fighting you.

251
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,080
I will not give you the pleasure.
You smell like shit.

252
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,920
Rest yourself. I'll take care of you.

253
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,320
-Trust me. I have learned to fight.
-But you don't have a warrior's heart.

254
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,600
Why do you continue to live like this?

255
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,440
"You shall honor your father and your mother."

256
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,640
-Don't do it so that father will like you.
- I don't.

257
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,160
Also, I can defend myself.

258
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,120
I have been alone a lot and learned many things.

259
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,160
- I'm sorry we broke up.
-Alfred used us to hurt father.

260
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,960
-Yes, but it showed us the Christian way.
- Maybe you.

261
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,960
-Who gave it to you?
- I made it myself.

262
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:52,480
As I said, I have learned many things.
The blood on the rune will protect us.

263
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,760
They travel with children. They must be nearby.

264
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Aelfwynn is feeling warm.

265
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,160
Drink this. It helps.

266
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:41,600
-Don't say I did.
- No, then. She's probably just tired.

267
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,800
Is his name Finan?

268
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,920
Yes. The Irish bastard is
the bravest warrior I know.

269
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,560
Except for Lord Uhtred. Forgive him.
He has seen the disease affect people.

270
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,200
I have no right to judge.

271
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,120
Thank you Osferth.

272
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,720
- Tell us if you get worse.
- I will.

273
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:17,080
-You are true warriors, aren't you?
- Well. I don't know now.

274
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:22,960
It's strange to associate with men for so long
without being considered a utility item.

275
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,880
-Oh. If you are offended, I can...
- I am not offended.

276
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,639
...built Winchester's walls.

277
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,320
We've found a clue!

278
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,920
Get some rest. We leave before dawn.

279
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:15,400
-Thank you for not killing brother.
- I don't kill a sleeping man.

280
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,000
- I don't hesitate if he comes.
- I know that.

281
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:28,960
- I have chosen a side.
-Why didn't you let us down while you could?

282
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,040
I'd rather sleep outside than
in a castle and be treated like a whore.

283
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,920
Are they looking down on you from up there?
Your gods.

284
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Do they judge?

285
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,720
No. They are more whimsical than that.

286
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,040
You don't always know
what makes them a team and what doesn't.

287
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,840
So how do you choose the right path?

288
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:11,800
Sometimes...I think life as a warrior
will lead me to Valhalla.

289
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,840
Other times I don't know.

290
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,520
Is your god watching over you?

291
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,720
I look for signs of it,
but I rarely see them.

292
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,880
-Brochfael of Gwent is not happy.
- He envies your victory, brother.

293
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,320
Maybe that.
He is probably a bit annoyed by the dividend.

294
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:35,120
Rhodri, you piece of shit. She was a great warrior.

295
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,480
You were the great warrior, brother.
What are you going to do now?

296
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,520
I am going on a pilgrimage.
You can rule in my absence.

297
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,800
Play king for a while.
You deserve that after the match.

298
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,600
Come on!

299
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,360
Come here, bitch!

300
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,520
Do you see this one? It belonged to Cnut.

301
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,600
That's not true, you lying piece of shit.

302
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,640
Throw the bitch in the hole!

303
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:12,560
- We lost good men because of her.
- Now be a little tactful.

304
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,680
We are melting about this.

305
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:29,280
Then we get all the craftsmen in the country to
to complete the plan of King Offa of Mercia.

306
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,680
A wall between us and the Saxons!

307
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,400
And in honor of our exquisite friend,
I swear

308
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,480
that the Saxon pig never again
will be allowed to set foot in our beautiful country!

309
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,160
Eat!

310
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,800
Up with you, bitch! Down there
there should be no sleeping. Are you hungry?

311
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,800
Thank you, father.

312
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,280
- Go and hide.
-Come on!

313
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,400
Lie low!

314
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,320
Shall I close my eyes to this, Father?

315
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:44,640
- They're just scared. None of them are sick.
- I must speak to you in confidence.

316
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,240
Please be kind. I don't want to participate
to deceive the king again.

317
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,000
Except this way.

318
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,240
I'm not thinking about Edward.
He must have finally come to his senses.

319
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,560
But why
has my daughter gone her way?

320
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,800
Did you imprison your own sister?

321
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,480
It was temporary,
to maintain peace in the city.

322
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,240
And then you sent rapists
to find her and Aelfwynn?

323
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,440
- I did not ask for violence.
- If you send an army, there will be war.

324
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,040
And now your sister is in danger.

325
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,560
-And your son.
- He's safe in Winchester.

326
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,240
Your youngest, yes.

327
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,640
Your eldest son, Aethelstan,
had I hidden away in Saltwic.

328
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:09,400
Mother...

329
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,640
- I sent him there.
-Tender!

330
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,520
I sent him there because he was threatened.

331
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:23,480
- Do you know if Uhtred has taken him?
- He must have brought children with him.

332
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,640
So at best two of my grandchildren are…

333
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,040
...out on a trip during illness.

334
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,720
How did it happen, Edward?

335
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,560
-How did you get lost so far away?
-The alliance with Mercia means everything.

336
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,360
I didn't want to hurt the kids.

337
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:59,080
Children should not be involved in politics,
Edward. We know that.

338
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:05,280
Those who become...
Well, they rarely survive.

339
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,360
A proper road.

340
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,120
A good sign.
In the next village we can get horses.

341
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,400
Without wind
the disease cannot have come here.

342
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,680
-Lady Aelfwynn has fallen ill.
- Yes, but we must continue.

343
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040
-Just encourage her.
-How?

344
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:04,560
I don't know.
I have not succeeded in that myself.

345
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,800
- Go ahead. We will be there soon.
- Horses?

346
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,720
-Go behind that ledge.
-Come, Aelfwynn!

347
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,840
-Faster!
- It's them!

348
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,400
-Help the children!
- We can't run away from them!

349
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,440
They are approaching.

350
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,720
It's the disease! Keep your distance!

351
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,920
Dear friend. We can swim through.

352
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,800
No. I would rather die in battle
than from sweating and shitting on me.

353
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,960
- I'm trying. I don't want to die.
- No, Stiorra!

354
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,240
Give me Lady Aelfwynn and you will live.
Down with the guns!

355
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,000
- They won't miss the next time.
- Protect the children!

356
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:48,520
Come with me, Aelfwynn. Otherwise I kill
everyone, including your mother.

357
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,320
Save them and join me.

358
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,480
- She stays here.
-We are engaged, Aelfwynn.

359
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,360
Hold your ground. Protect the children to the end.

360
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,120
When the match starts,
are you running towards the forest, boy.

361
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,480
For loan.

362
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,520
-Are you ready, sister?
- She's ready.

363
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,160
Don't let them kill mother!

364
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,320
Grab the child!

365
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:57,600
No. Don't do what he says.
He has betrayed you all!

366
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,200
-He killed Lord Aethelred!
-This is how a cheater talks.

367
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,120
He was mortally wounded!

368
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,360
-Don't listen to the whore!
- I swear on it!

369
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:15,040
Aethelred did not let my brother bear the child,
so my brother killed him.

370
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,080
That is the man you serve. Why
was Aethelred late to Tettenhall?

371
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,000
Because this man lied to you.

372
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,000
For days he refrained
to say that their countrymen were dead.

373
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,040
You had time to go home
and save their family.

374
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:37,000
He killed Edward's messenger,
who alerted us to the matter.

375
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,880
- My men are not fooled.
-Let her talk!

376
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:51,200
I can prove his wrongdoing.
Look in the bag he has around his neck.

377
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:57,160
There you will find the ring he stole
from their lord, whom he slew.

378
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:03,840
- That's not true.
-Then prove it. Show what it contains.

379
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,880
Seize Aelfwynn, or you shall be executed.

380
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,920
-Do as I say!
- You don't threaten your men!

381
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:22,520
Enough talking. If she lies,
show us what you wear around your neck.

382
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,160
Now.

383
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,360
It bears Lord Aethelred's seal.

384
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,520
You can't deny it.
Save yourself before they kill you.

385
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,800
Escape to Frankia, brother.

386
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,400
You are safe now.

387
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,320
- Will he come back?
- I'm unlikely to see him again.

388
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,200
This is the end for us.

389
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,320
-Who did this to you?
- Danes.

390
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:32,800
They have landed in the west, from Ireland.

391
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:40,960
They told me to say that they are out to kill.
And first they will take your head.

392
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,520
{\an8}There will be enough time for books and games
before you need one.

393
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,360
Aethelstan?

394
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,120
Ride with Finan. Keep an eye on him.

395
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,640
Go and find Aethelflaed.
Say the daughter is safe.

396
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:12,720
Eadith and Osferth look after her
until Edward gives up.

397
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,960
We shall say what kind of man he trusted.

398
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:21,520
-Are we fighting for peace again, lord?
- We can't let it become a war.

399
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,720
Shall we do it? Then we do it.

400
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,040
She's getting worse.

401
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,680
-Can you keep her alive?
- We will do everything we can.

402
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,840
We have to. She is the future.

403
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,040
