1
00:00:02,021 --> 00:00:06,061
This programme contains
some strong language

2
00:00:06,061 --> 00:00:09,101
and prolonged violent scenes.

3
00:00:09,101 --> 00:00:10,901
CHATTER

4
00:00:43,101 --> 00:00:45,421
Aethel. Godwin.

5
00:00:45,421 --> 00:00:47,141
What are you doing here?

6
00:00:50,421 --> 00:00:52,861
Hey, wait! No. Stop!

7
00:01:11,141 --> 00:01:12,461
Are you all right, Father?

8
00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:16,381
What did you come to ask me?

9
00:01:17,541 --> 00:01:20,781
<font color="
to talk.

10
00:01:20,781 --> 00:01:24,981
Tomorrow, he's granted me a private
audience. And can you trust that?

11
00:01:24,981 --> 00:01:27,221
I have no other choice.

12
00:01:27,221 --> 00:01:29,381
It's that or war.

13
00:01:29,381 --> 00:01:31,741
And we cannot go to war.

14
00:01:31,741 --> 00:01:34,381
So I just need to talk to him.

15
00:01:34,381 --> 00:01:35,780
<font color="

16
00:01:37,021 --> 00:01:39,500
So I kneel...

17
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,701
..and bow - let him think
he's in control.

18
00:01:43,901 --> 00:01:46,101
And we'll find out
what he really wants.

19
00:01:48,181 --> 00:01:49,741
We'll get there, Harold.

20
00:01:51,021 --> 00:01:53,421
I've talked my way out
of trickier corners than this.

21
00:01:54,901 --> 00:01:56,741
<font color="
What can I do?

22
00:01:56,741 --> 00:01:59,181
I need you rested and alert.

23
00:02:01,341 --> 00:02:03,301
Get some sleep.

24
00:02:06,101 --> 00:02:07,981
Goodnight, Mother. Goodnight.

25
00:02:12,541 --> 00:02:15,901
Harold's the only one that's
come to you and asked you that.

26
00:02:15,901 --> 00:02:17,341
DOOR CLOSES

27
00:02:17,341 --> 00:02:18,861
<font color="

28
00:02:18,861 --> 00:02:21,301
That's because Sweyn
doesn't think he needs to.

29
00:02:22,661 --> 00:02:24,861
And Tostig, well,

30
00:02:24,861 --> 00:02:27,581
he doesn't know how. But Harold did.

31
00:02:29,341 --> 00:02:31,021
So what does that tell you?

32
00:02:51,541 --> 00:02:53,581
I think Magnus is getting
bigger.

33
00:02:53,581 --> 00:02:55,061
<font color="

34
00:02:55,061 --> 00:02:57,021
He eats like there's a midden
under him.

35
00:02:58,741 --> 00:03:01,221
If I said that about Estrid,
you wouldn't talk to me for a week.

36
00:03:01,221 --> 00:03:02,541
And you're not likely to say it,

37
00:03:02,541 --> 00:03:05,421
because Estrid can
exercise restraint.

38
00:03:05,421 --> 00:03:07,461
She's not a...

39
00:03:07,461 --> 00:03:09,101
<font color="

40
00:03:10,381 --> 00:03:12,341
Did you just call me a tubber?

41
00:03:14,141 --> 00:03:16,661
You are a tubber.

42
00:03:14,141 --> 00:03:16,661
HE LAUGHS

43
00:03:29,341 --> 00:03:31,021
What?

44
00:03:32,741 --> 00:03:34,541
Will we be separated?

45
00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:40,301
Edith.

46
00:03:43,141 --> 00:03:45,701
This family will not be separated.

47
00:03:45,701 --> 00:03:47,861
The King wants to talk.
It's a good sign.

48
00:03:49,501 --> 00:03:51,261
<font color="
remember this.

49
00:03:51,261 --> 00:03:53,021
There's talk of splitting
up the family,

50
00:03:53,021 --> 00:03:55,061
moving some of us to the coast.

51
00:03:55,061 --> 00:03:58,021
I thought you knew better than
to listen to gossip.

52
00:03:58,021 --> 00:04:00,101
Don't do that.

53
00:04:00,101 --> 00:04:01,741
Don't make it something in my head.

54
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:04,221
<font color="
that I have.

55
00:04:04,221 --> 00:04:06,421
KNOCK AT DOOR

56
00:04:06,421 --> 00:04:08,101
Are you ready? Yes.

57
00:04:09,941 --> 00:04:12,261
You ride beside me today, Harold.

58
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:15,581
What about Sweyn?

59
00:04:15,581 --> 00:04:17,741
No, not today.

60
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,901
And what about our plans
for the future,

61
00:04:21,901 --> 00:04:23,541
<font color="

62
00:04:24,661 --> 00:04:27,581
Well, the future may have to wait
a while longer.

63
00:04:29,901 --> 00:04:31,541
You ride with me.

64
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:52,221
I just don't see
how that helps us now.

65
00:04:52,221 --> 00:04:54,741
Because that's the way it's always
been, Harold.

66
00:04:54,741 --> 00:04:58,061
Power between the three earls, with
<font color="

67
00:04:58,061 --> 00:05:02,101
But look where that's got us.
The earls have to have control.

68
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:03,741
We need to restore that balance.

69
00:05:03,741 --> 00:05:05,821
Listen to yourself.

70
00:05:05,821 --> 00:05:07,661
We know that does not work.

71
00:05:07,661 --> 00:05:09,901
One person needs to be
in control of it all.

72
00:05:11,261 --> 00:05:13,421
<font color="

73
00:05:13,421 --> 00:05:15,101
Yes.

74
00:05:15,101 --> 00:05:18,301
Yes, but fair. Someone who makes
the right decisions for everyone,

75
00:05:18,301 --> 00:05:20,301
not just for the crown.

76
00:05:20,301 --> 00:05:23,701
Well, don't say anything like
that in front of the King.

77
00:05:23,701 --> 00:05:25,741
You'll start him talking to that
finger he has

78
00:05:25,741 --> 00:05:28,021
<font color="

79
00:05:28,021 --> 00:05:30,421
That's all we need today.

80
00:05:30,421 --> 00:05:33,261
Ever seen the arse on Harold's
horse before?

81
00:05:33,261 --> 00:05:35,180
Extremely well built.

82
00:05:35,180 --> 00:05:37,381
Can really tell, from
all the way back here,

83
00:05:37,381 --> 00:05:39,821
it's a sturdy animal -

84
00:05:39,821 --> 00:05:43,101
well fitted front and centre.

85
00:05:43,101 --> 00:05:46,301
<font color="
Shut up, Tostig!

86
00:05:46,301 --> 00:05:48,461
You and your bony arse
can piss off.

87
00:06:01,301 --> 00:06:03,381
How long?

88
00:06:03,381 --> 00:06:05,661
What?

89
00:06:05,661 --> 00:06:09,221
The girl who washes told me it's
been weeks since she saw blood.

90
00:06:10,581 --> 00:06:12,661
I have no idea
<font color="

91
00:06:12,661 --> 00:06:14,541
A woman always knows, Edith.

92
00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:17,941
How long?

93
00:06:22,061 --> 00:06:24,661
Maybe two months. I can't be sure.

94
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:28,301
Then it's right
you keep it a secret.

95
00:06:31,941 --> 00:06:35,101
Gytha, I have to tell Harold.
No, you don't.

96
00:06:35,101 --> 00:06:37,621
Not yet, not now.

97
00:06:37,621 --> 00:06:39,461
<font color="
in front of him.

98
00:06:39,461 --> 00:06:41,061
I understand.

99
00:06:41,061 --> 00:06:42,981
When Godwin was at war, I kept
Tostig a secret

100
00:06:42,981 --> 00:06:44,781
because I knew
it wouldn't have helped him.

101
00:06:44,781 --> 00:06:46,261
So you're saying that I should lie
to Harold?

102
00:06:46,261 --> 00:06:48,021
<font color="
speak of it at all.

103
00:06:49,941 --> 00:06:51,901
It's for the best, Edith.

104
00:06:51,901 --> 00:06:53,421
Believe me.

105
00:07:00,221 --> 00:07:03,101
Men have their own burdens,

106
00:07:03,101 --> 00:07:05,261
and these...

107
00:07:06,261 --> 00:07:07,861
..are ours.

108
00:07:32,941 --> 00:07:36,741
Morcar is here. Father, you said
this was a private audience,

109
00:07:36,741 --> 00:07:39,061
<font color="
I don't think we've been brought

110
00:07:39,061 --> 00:07:40,781
here to talk. Don't say anything.

111
00:07:40,781 --> 00:07:41,821
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

112
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:58,021
The kingdom of heaven
is my promise to all England.

113
00:07:59,741 --> 00:08:01,781
And you, Godwin of Wessex...

114
00:08:03,541 --> 00:08:06,501
..today you are declared guilty

115
00:08:06,501 --> 00:08:09,101
<font color="
the peace agreement.

116
00:08:15,341 --> 00:08:17,741
So my flogging is to be public,
is it?

117
00:08:17,741 --> 00:08:21,501
Break the peace and you forfeit
everything to the crown.

118
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:23,741
Those were the terms of
the agreement.

119
00:08:23,741 --> 00:08:26,541
It was your agreement, Earl Godwin.

120
00:08:26,541 --> 00:08:27,901
<font color="

121
00:08:27,901 --> 00:08:30,621
And yet it was not us
that broke the peace.

122
00:08:30,621 --> 00:08:32,661
But you know all that.

123
00:08:32,661 --> 00:08:38,661
Forfeit and the exile of all your
family will be the punishment.

124
00:08:38,661 --> 00:08:41,781
Or face a war against the crown

125
00:08:41,781 --> 00:08:45,981
and the earls of both
Mercia and Northumbria.

126
00:08:45,981 --> 00:08:50,221
<font color="
the annihilation of your people.

127
00:08:50,221 --> 00:08:51,821
Choose. Father.

128
00:08:54,421 --> 00:08:55,741
If I do yield...

129
00:08:57,221 --> 00:08:59,061
..do my people remain untouched?

130
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:03,541
If you swear never to return
to reclaim your lands.

131
00:09:03,541 --> 00:09:06,141
Give your word, Earl Godwin.

132
00:09:06,141 --> 00:09:07,701
<font color="

133
00:09:13,101 --> 00:09:14,821
Then, as Earl,

134
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:17,541
I accept exile. Father!

135
00:09:17,541 --> 00:09:19,701
I will not return
and I give you my word on it.

136
00:09:19,701 --> 00:09:22,541
Do you hear?
Earl Godwin gives his word.

137
00:09:22,541 --> 00:09:24,501
Wessex did not break the peace!
Harold!

138
00:09:24,501 --> 00:09:27,141
<font color="
Mercia, standing right there!

139
00:09:27,141 --> 00:09:29,461
Pathetic lies. Done on the King's
word! This is finished.

140
00:09:29,461 --> 00:09:31,141
Father, why the hell should we
yield?

141
00:09:31,141 --> 00:09:34,181
Harold! Everything you own
<font color="

142
00:09:34,181 --> 00:09:35,781
Wessex belongs to the King.

143
00:09:38,261 --> 00:09:39,581
God's mercy...

144
00:09:41,621 --> 00:09:45,181
..will grant you one week
to leave England, Godwin.

145
00:09:50,181 --> 00:09:51,941
Go.

146
00:09:55,021 --> 00:09:56,781
A moment.

147
00:09:59,981 --> 00:10:02,941
I'm taking it all, Godwin -
lands, title,

148
00:10:02,941 --> 00:10:07,021
<font color="
legacy for Wessex gone.

149
00:10:08,621 --> 00:10:12,821
But I'll give it all back to you
on one single condition.

150
00:10:14,581 --> 00:10:16,421
My son, Aethel.

151
00:10:16,421 --> 00:10:18,661
You can have it all back

152
00:10:18,661 --> 00:10:22,261
the moment you return my Aethel
to me alive.

153
00:10:24,781 --> 00:10:28,101
We came so close, Emma.

154
00:10:30,101 --> 00:10:31,901
<font color="

155
00:10:51,181 --> 00:10:53,581
There's a way through.

156
00:10:53,581 --> 00:10:56,541
But it's exposed
and Henry's men are everywhere.

157
00:10:56,541 --> 00:10:58,501
Better to wait after dark.

158
00:11:01,461 --> 00:11:03,021
WHISPERS: How is she?

159
00:11:03,021 --> 00:11:06,261
Close. This baby isn't waiting
till Flanders.

160
00:11:20,501 --> 00:11:24,701
<font color="
Finished, Your Majesty.

161
00:11:24,701 --> 00:11:27,461
Dead? No, Your Majesty.

162
00:11:27,461 --> 00:11:29,221
We have secured Normandy,

163
00:11:29,221 --> 00:11:32,021
but Duke William
escaped with his life.

164
00:11:32,021 --> 00:11:36,781
I see. Then he'll flee north
to his wife's kin in Flanders.

165

<font color="

166
00:11:38,221 --> 00:11:40,621
Spare no effort.

Your Majesty,
Normandy is already yours.

168
00:11:43,141 --> 00:11:47,301
Not until William
is buried beneath it!

169
00:11:47,301 --> 00:11:48,341
HORSES NICKER

170
00:11:51,701 --> 00:11:54,421
And if he makes it to
Flanders, I cannot touch him.

171
00:11:56,261 --> 00:11:57,581
So find him.

WOMAN CRIES OUT

You think she's going to
do that all night?

Why don't you go down there
and ask her?

176
00:12:23,941 --> 00:12:26,301
Well, she's not my wife.
No, she's not.

What are we going to do, William?
<font color="

Yes.

You always have answers.

It's coming.

00:12:48,461 --> 00:12:51,061
BABY CRIES

182
00:13:09,261 --> 00:13:10,901
Is it a boy?

183
00:13:14,541 --> 00:13:16,301
Come and hold him.

184
00:13:18,701 --> 00:13:21,861
William, come and hold your son.

185
00:13:28,101 --> 00:13:29,141
William.

186
00:13:30,541 --> 00:13:32,061
LOUDER: William.

187
00:13:39,221 --> 00:13:40,821
<font color="

188
00:13:42,621 --> 00:13:44,261
Boy.

189
00:13:48,501 --> 00:13:50,501
Someone should talk to him.

190
00:13:53,821 --> 00:13:56,701
I'll talk to him.
Good man.

191
00:13:58,181 --> 00:13:59,741
He keeps too much inside.

192
00:14:02,061 --> 00:14:04,381
He does, my lady.

193
00:14:04,381 --> 00:14:05,701
Now, sleep.

194
00:14:12,701 --> 00:14:14,181
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

195
00:14:22,581 --> 00:14:25,781
I know what's going on in there.
<font color="

196
00:14:25,781 --> 00:14:27,301
I remember it, too.

197
00:14:28,541 --> 00:14:30,861
Running through the darkness
in terror.

198
00:14:31,941 --> 00:14:34,381
Swords in every shadow.

199
00:14:34,381 --> 00:14:37,301
No good comes from choices
made on the run.

200
00:14:38,301 --> 00:14:40,021
We both know it.

201
00:14:40,021 --> 00:14:42,941
You know what this means to Henry.

202
00:14:42,941 --> 00:14:46,101
<font color="
notice, but not a boy.

203
00:14:46,101 --> 00:14:48,021
Not with Henry.

204
00:14:49,341 --> 00:14:51,821
I thought
that I could keep them safe.

205
00:14:51,821 --> 00:14:53,381
This is not your fault.

206
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:57,221
You didn't bring this on your child.

207
00:14:57,221 --> 00:14:58,581
Henry did.

208
00:15:04,261 --> 00:15:05,941
We ride at first light.

209
00:15:10,261 --> 00:15:13,861
<font color="
ride for Mercia?

210
00:15:13,861 --> 00:15:16,341
Your Majesty.

211
00:15:16,341 --> 00:15:18,821
Mercia did everything
you asked of us.

212
00:15:18,821 --> 00:15:22,661
We played our part. But this,
today? Wessex belongs to the King,

213
00:15:22,661 --> 00:15:25,421
does it?
Watch your tone, Earl Morcar.

214
00:15:26,821 --> 00:15:28,301
<font color="

215
00:15:29,381 --> 00:15:32,021
You promised us Wessex.

216
00:15:32,021 --> 00:15:34,341
Our agreement was with your father,

217
00:15:34,341 --> 00:15:37,301
God rest his soul.
God rest his soul.

218
00:15:37,301 --> 00:15:39,421
But you wear his robes...

219
00:15:40,741 --> 00:15:42,501
..well.

220
00:15:42,501 --> 00:15:46,941
You promised my father
<font color="

221
00:15:46,941 --> 00:15:49,461
That was the deal. Did we?

222
00:15:49,461 --> 00:15:53,101
The King has promised Mercia
a stake in England's future.

223
00:15:53,101 --> 00:15:55,341
That is your reward, Earl Morcar.

224
00:15:56,981 --> 00:15:58,381
No.

225
00:15:58,381 --> 00:15:59,541
No?

226
00:16:00,781 --> 00:16:01,821
No.

227
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:05,661
Your Majesty,
<font color="

228
00:16:05,661 --> 00:16:08,101
We help you provoke the Godwins

229
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:11,781
and, in return, you give us Wessex.

230
00:16:11,781 --> 00:16:14,301
I am now the Earl of Mercia...

231
00:16:15,661 --> 00:16:17,901
..and I demand your respect.
You have failed

232
00:16:17,901 --> 00:16:22,061
to grasp one vital aspect
of today's endeavour, Earl Morcar.

233
00:16:22,061 --> 00:16:25,461
<font color="
in the King's court,

234
00:16:25,461 --> 00:16:27,381
in the minds of the people,

235
00:16:27,381 --> 00:16:30,701
Godwin will always be
the Earl of Wessex,

236
00:16:30,701 --> 00:16:33,061
as long as he remains alive.

237
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:43,701
Earl Morcar.

238
00:16:46,661 --> 00:16:49,461
Before you leave.

239
00:16:50,541 --> 00:16:53,621
You're young. I know.

240
00:16:53,621 --> 00:16:54,781
<font color="

241
00:16:56,821 --> 00:16:58,341
Power isn't given.

242
00:16:59,461 --> 00:17:01,341
Power is taken.

243
00:17:02,621 --> 00:17:05,301
And, sometimes,

244
00:17:05,301 --> 00:17:08,501
it is a life that must be taken.

245
00:17:09,701 --> 00:17:13,741
When your errand is complete
and nothing remains...

246
00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:18,501
..you may take
whatever you find in Wessex,

247
00:17:18,501 --> 00:17:20,741
<font color="

248
00:17:22,661 --> 00:17:24,860
Till our next meeting,

249
00:17:24,860 --> 00:17:26,741
where I am confident

250
00:17:26,741 --> 00:17:29,181
we will have found a new respect
for you...

251
00:17:32,101 --> 00:17:33,701
..Earl Morcar.

252
00:17:45,621 --> 00:17:47,781
The King
has let his little Queen out

253
00:17:47,781 --> 00:17:49,781
of her cage, has he?

254
00:17:49,781 --> 00:17:53,301
<font color="
with your presence. Sweyn.

255
00:17:53,301 --> 00:17:57,141
But then you haven't got a crown.
Of course I've got a crown.

256
00:17:57,141 --> 00:17:58,741
Yes, but you were never crowned,

257
00:17:58,741 --> 00:18:02,261
so couldn't he just
still crown another?

258
00:18:02,261 --> 00:18:04,661
Don't rise to it, Gunhild.
<font color="

259
00:18:04,661 --> 00:18:06,301
I'm just trying
to work out who's getting

260
00:18:06,301 --> 00:18:08,261
more fucked by him...

261
00:18:08,261 --> 00:18:09,741
..her or us.

262
00:18:09,741 --> 00:18:11,461
You really are a pig.

263
00:18:13,541 --> 00:18:16,501
Oh, Sweeny. Oh! Gunhild, stop!

264
00:18:20,701 --> 00:18:23,301
Enough! This is no time for games.

265
00:18:35,301 --> 00:18:37,541
<font color="

266
00:18:37,541 --> 00:18:39,101
Flanders? Father,

267
00:18:39,101 --> 00:18:41,541
why don't we fight?
We're not going to fight.

268
00:18:41,541 --> 00:18:44,021
Count Baldwin will shelter anyone
who matches his price.

269
00:18:44,021 --> 00:18:47,021
So we'll be safe.
I've done business with Baldwin.

270
00:18:47,021 --> 00:18:50,301
<font color="

271
00:18:50,301 --> 00:18:52,941
I'm getting a bit tired
of hearing that phrase.

272
00:18:52,941 --> 00:18:57,021
Oh, really, Sweyn? Mm-hm. Well,
I am still head of this family

273
00:18:57,021 --> 00:18:58,861
so the decision is mine. Well,

274
00:18:58,861 --> 00:19:02,221
<font color="
the decision fell to me, Father.

275
00:19:02,221 --> 00:19:05,781
Well, maybe...it should, Sweyn.

276
00:19:05,781 --> 00:19:11,061
Maybe we should leave our fate
in the hands of the man

277
00:19:11,061 --> 00:19:14,341
who'd draw his sword
in the presence of the King. Eh?!

278
00:19:14,341 --> 00:19:16,741
You think my decision was easy?

279
00:19:18,221 --> 00:19:20,301
<font color="

280
00:19:22,021 --> 00:19:24,421
If we pursue war,

281
00:19:24,421 --> 00:19:27,901
every man, woman and child
in Wessex

282
00:19:27,901 --> 00:19:29,461
will be put to the sword.

283
00:19:32,461 --> 00:19:37,061
Why did Lady Emma say
that she would give it all back

284
00:19:37,061 --> 00:19:39,901
if you returned her son Aethel
to her alive?

285
00:19:45,501 --> 00:19:47,301
<font color="

286
00:19:48,821 --> 00:19:51,141
I heard Lady Emma say it.

287
00:19:51,141 --> 00:19:53,221
You swore to put Aethel
on the throne of England,

288
00:19:53,221 --> 00:19:55,381
but then you murdered him
in favour of Edward.

289
00:19:56,701 --> 00:19:58,421
Didn't you, father?

290
00:20:00,101 --> 00:20:03,461
I swore to put the rightful heir
on the throne of England.

291
00:20:04,901 --> 00:20:06,981
<font color="

292
00:20:06,981 --> 00:20:09,741
Heard what YOU wanted her to hear.

293
00:20:09,741 --> 00:20:12,741
Aethel would never have married
a Godwin.

294
00:20:12,741 --> 00:20:14,701
But Edward is weak.

295
00:20:17,621 --> 00:20:19,461
So I did what was necessary.

296
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:27,621
And, yes, I killed
Aethel to save Wessex.

297
00:20:27,621 --> 00:20:29,421
Just like King Alfred saved it.

298
00:20:31,021 --> 00:20:33,981
<font color="
it again today.

299
00:20:35,381 --> 00:20:37,941
We will depart tomorrow.

300
00:20:37,941 --> 00:20:39,781
Be ready.

301
00:20:48,941 --> 00:20:50,421
How did he kill him?

302
00:20:50,421 --> 00:20:53,021
He met Aethel on the shore
as a friend

303
00:20:53,021 --> 00:20:55,221
and then put his eyes out,
right there on the beach.

304
00:20:57,461 --> 00:21:00,101
<font color="
Fucking hell.

305
00:21:00,101 --> 00:21:03,581
This is a death sentence.
It's been hanging over us for years.

306
00:21:03,581 --> 00:21:06,261
My God, your father is
clearly as ruthless as they are.

307
00:21:06,261 --> 00:21:07,341
HE SCOFFS

308
00:21:07,341 --> 00:21:09,341
Tell your woman to keep
out of this, Harold.

309
00:21:09,341 --> 00:21:11,141
<font color="
that, Sweyn.

310
00:21:11,141 --> 00:21:12,861
It's fine, Harold, I'm leaving.

311
00:21:14,981 --> 00:21:16,021
You shouldn't have said that.

312
00:21:16,021 --> 00:21:18,101
Oh, will the chirruping of women
never stop in here?

313
00:21:18,101 --> 00:21:19,581
You know, I'd forgotten what a prick
you are

314
00:21:19,581 --> 00:21:20,621
<font color="

315
00:21:20,621 --> 00:21:22,741
Says the woman who can't even
get her own husband to fuck her.

316
00:21:22,741 --> 00:21:23,981
Enough!

317
00:21:23,981 --> 00:21:26,341
We have enough enemies
in Edward and Emma.

318
00:21:28,061 --> 00:21:30,941
I'm staying here with the King.
Gunhild, you can't do that.

319
00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:32,701
No, my mind is set.

320
00:21:32,701 --> 00:21:36,941
<font color="
of your crown.

321
00:21:36,941 --> 00:21:38,261
But they will kill you.

322
00:21:38,261 --> 00:21:40,621
Not Edward. I am his wife.

323
00:21:40,621 --> 00:21:43,781
His God won't allow it.
And what about Lady Emma?

324
00:21:43,781 --> 00:21:46,301
How long will God protect you
from her?

325
00:21:46,301 --> 00:21:47,781
Gunhild, you have to come with us.

326
00:21:47,781 --> 00:21:51,181
<font color="

327
00:21:51,181 --> 00:21:52,981
then we still have an heir.

328
00:21:52,981 --> 00:21:55,221
None of you were
handed a task like mine.

329
00:21:55,221 --> 00:21:57,701
So don't you dare
lecture me on duty, Sweyn.

330
00:21:58,781 --> 00:22:01,221
If this family is to survive,
then, right now,

331
00:22:01,221 --> 00:22:02,981
that duty falls to me.

332
00:22:04,181 --> 00:22:06,661
<font color="

333
00:22:07,741 --> 00:22:12,061
No matter what happens,
no matter where you go,

334
00:22:12,061 --> 00:22:15,341
there is only one thing
in this life to remember.

335
00:22:16,461 --> 00:22:19,701
Sweyn is an arsehole
and he always will be.

336
00:22:21,781 --> 00:22:25,101
This is not the end.
OK? This is not the end.

337
00:22:26,661 --> 00:22:27,901
<font color="

338
00:22:28,981 --> 00:22:31,701
Because this is England,

339
00:22:31,701 --> 00:22:34,701
and someone will die
and everything will change.

340
00:22:39,341 --> 00:22:40,661
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

341
00:22:40,661 --> 00:22:42,861
I'm sorry Sweyn spoke to you
that way.

342
00:22:43,901 --> 00:22:46,381
Sometimes, he forgets who he is.

343
00:22:48,341 --> 00:22:50,701
Oh, he knows exactly
<font color="

344
00:22:58,101 --> 00:23:01,741
Edith, whatever my father has
done... It's all right, Harold.

345
00:23:06,981 --> 00:23:08,861
It's all right.

346
00:23:18,141 --> 00:23:20,221
We'll be safe in Flanders.

347
00:23:44,701 --> 00:23:45,741
What's got into him?

348
00:23:46,901 --> 00:23:47,981
We're in Flanders.

349
00:23:48,981 --> 00:23:50,941
That stream marks
the border with Normandy.

350
00:24:24,181 --> 00:24:26,301
<font color="

351
00:24:26,301 --> 00:24:29,661
What were you expecting?
I don't know.

352
00:24:29,661 --> 00:24:33,621
Buildings? Count Baldwin
likes to keep his court on the move.

353
00:24:33,621 --> 00:24:35,221
He likes the fact that anybody

354
00:24:35,221 --> 00:24:37,541
can come to Flanders
but he can remain a ghost.

355
00:24:58,181 --> 00:24:59,621
<font color="

356
00:25:02,581 --> 00:25:05,421
William. So nice to see you.

357
00:25:07,221 --> 00:25:10,381
To what do I owe this pleasure?
We need shelter.

358
00:25:10,381 --> 00:25:12,141
Shelter? Huh?

359
00:25:13,381 --> 00:25:17,061
What has my daughter done?
Baldwin. Matilda.

360
00:25:19,901 --> 00:25:21,461
I've missed you. Oh!

361
00:25:22,581 --> 00:25:23,741
<font color="

362
00:25:23,741 --> 00:25:26,381
Can I not express my love for my
daughter? I'm not stopping you.

363
00:25:28,981 --> 00:25:31,021
Good.

364
00:25:31,021 --> 00:25:32,901
I brought you a present.

365
00:25:32,901 --> 00:25:34,701
What might that be?

366
00:25:37,621 --> 00:25:38,701
Your grandson.

367
00:25:40,261 --> 00:25:41,781
Oh, give him to me.

368
00:25:43,221 --> 00:25:45,261
Give him to me. Ah!

369
00:25:47,461 --> 00:25:51,261
<font color="

370
00:25:51,261 --> 00:25:53,821
Huh? Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

371
00:25:53,821 --> 00:25:55,901
Has he got a name?

372
00:25:55,901 --> 00:25:56,941
Not yet.

373
00:25:58,141 --> 00:26:01,581
Baldwin, huh? Baldwin!
It's a good, strong name.

374
00:26:01,581 --> 00:26:03,181
We're not calling him Baldwin.

375
00:26:04,741 --> 00:26:06,421
Suit yourself.

376
00:26:06,421 --> 00:26:09,461
Oh. Another present.
<font color="

377
00:26:09,461 --> 00:26:11,661
Shelter. Can we stay?

378
00:26:11,661 --> 00:26:15,821
Of course.
Everyone's welcome in Flanders -

379
00:26:15,821 --> 00:26:18,741
for the right price.
Don't be vulgar.

380
00:26:18,741 --> 00:26:22,741
Oh, I was joking.
It was a joke. I'm joking.

381
00:26:22,741 --> 00:26:25,021
Of course I'm joking.

382
00:26:25,021 --> 00:26:27,861
<font color="
is good reason.

383
00:26:27,861 --> 00:26:30,541
Oh, we've got a good reason for you.

384
00:26:30,541 --> 00:26:32,021
Good.

385
00:26:35,221 --> 00:26:37,421
The whole of Normandy?
He took everything.

386
00:26:37,421 --> 00:26:39,141
You knew nothing of this?

387
00:26:40,581 --> 00:26:42,541
I knew there was
trouble between you,

388
00:26:42,541 --> 00:26:44,861
<font color="
it had gone so far.

389
00:26:44,861 --> 00:26:46,821
Henry never told you? No.

390
00:26:46,821 --> 00:26:49,021
I haven't seen or heard from Henry
in months.

391
00:26:51,141 --> 00:26:54,141
But thank God you made it
here intact. You haven't asked why.

392
00:26:54,141 --> 00:26:56,581
Whatever has happened between
<font color="

393
00:26:58,341 --> 00:27:00,221
Not even curious?

394
00:27:01,701 --> 00:27:03,821
Well, you obviously want to tell me,
William,

395
00:27:03,821 --> 00:27:05,861
so why don't you just go ahead
and tell me -

396
00:27:05,861 --> 00:27:07,541
why did Henry invade Normandy?

397
00:27:07,541 --> 00:27:09,941
Because I found out
he killed my father.

398
00:27:10,941 --> 00:27:12,781
<font color="

399
00:27:15,621 --> 00:27:18,301
Well, that would certainly do it.

400
00:27:18,301 --> 00:27:21,341
You don't seem surprised.
Henry's killed a lot of fathers.

401
00:27:22,381 --> 00:27:24,261
I mean, condolences, obviously,

402
00:27:24,261 --> 00:27:26,541
but he's killed a lot of fathers

403
00:27:26,541 --> 00:27:29,821
and sons and mothers and wives
and daughters - you name it.

404
00:27:29,821 --> 00:27:31,941
<font color="

405
00:27:31,941 --> 00:27:34,061
Why would he tell me?

406
00:27:34,061 --> 00:27:35,581
I married his sister.

407
00:27:36,901 --> 00:27:38,621
He trusts me less than anyone.

408
00:27:40,421 --> 00:27:42,381
Are you going to do something
about it?

409
00:27:43,541 --> 00:27:46,701
Wouldn't you? Ha. Revenge?

410
00:27:46,701 --> 00:27:49,661
No, no. I'm no romantic.

411
00:27:49,661 --> 00:27:51,101
<font color="

412
00:27:53,181 --> 00:27:56,341
And Henry's no fool. This is
simply a game of power to him.

413
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,781
Keep all the pieces

414
00:27:57,781 --> 00:28:00,221
in perfect balance
and you will never be defeated.

415
00:28:01,781 --> 00:28:03,821
And that game
is what awaits our child.

416
00:28:05,101 --> 00:28:07,501
Just history repeating.

417
00:28:26,421 --> 00:28:28,701
<font color="

418
00:28:28,701 --> 00:28:30,421
Hey.

419
00:28:31,701 --> 00:28:33,821
Hey. Hello.

420
00:28:33,821 --> 00:28:35,421
Hey!

421
00:28:37,941 --> 00:28:40,141
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

422
00:28:42,821 --> 00:28:44,621
Hey.

423
00:28:44,621 --> 00:28:46,181
Why are you awake?

424
00:29:03,661 --> 00:29:07,461
Don't worry, we'll be back.

425
00:29:09,701 --> 00:29:12,781
Is this what my whole life
amounts to?

426
00:29:12,781 --> 00:29:15,981
Enough to be packed
<font color="

427
00:29:15,981 --> 00:29:17,981
Godwin, don't be stupid.

428
00:29:20,901 --> 00:29:25,021
Get ready. Get your shield!

429
00:29:25,021 --> 00:29:28,381
Raiders coming in from the north,
heading right for us.

430
00:29:28,381 --> 00:29:30,101
Markings? Mercians, for sure.

431
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:31,701
That bastard Morcar!

432
00:29:31,701 --> 00:29:34,421
They're hot on our heels, Father.
<font color="

433
00:29:34,421 --> 00:29:36,221
Everyone on the move!

434
00:29:39,061 --> 00:29:41,621
Hurry, Edith. Follow the tracks east
through the forest.

435
00:29:41,621 --> 00:29:43,901
The boats will be waiting.
What about you?

436
00:29:43,901 --> 00:29:46,901
We'll head south to
make the Mercians follow.

437
00:29:46,901 --> 00:29:48,021
They're coming!

438
00:29:48,021 --> 00:29:49,541
<font color="

439
00:29:54,221 --> 00:29:56,901
Leave now! Leave!

440
00:30:00,621 --> 00:30:03,261
We need to get the children
out of here now. Help me!

441
00:30:03,261 --> 00:30:05,101
No!

442
00:30:05,101 --> 00:30:06,821
Edith!

443
00:30:08,021 --> 00:30:10,741
She needs help! Go! Wait!

444
00:30:10,741 --> 00:30:12,061
What are you doing?

445
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:13,741
Get away!

446
00:30:26,061 --> 00:30:27,381
<font color="

447
00:31:15,981 --> 00:31:18,541
I'll take him. Yes, my lady.

448
00:31:25,221 --> 00:31:27,221
My lord.

449
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:35,181
William, come here.

450
00:31:35,181 --> 00:31:37,541
I know you want to.
I can see him from here.

451
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:44,221
Come here and give him a name.

452
00:31:47,141 --> 00:31:49,421
William, he needs a name.

453
00:32:01,621 --> 00:32:04,701
Count Baldwin, the ears of Europe

454
00:32:04,701 --> 00:32:08,701
<font color="
Henry would attack Normandy?

455
00:32:08,701 --> 00:32:13,341
It may come as a surprise to you
but, as I said before,

456
00:32:13,341 --> 00:32:15,421
Henry doesn't keep me
in his confidence.

457
00:32:15,421 --> 00:32:18,221
I find that hard to believe.

458
00:32:18,221 --> 00:32:19,941
William,

459
00:32:19,941 --> 00:32:23,541
have I ever lied to you?
<font color="

460
00:32:25,421 --> 00:32:28,381
Well, I'm not lying to you now. I
had no idea what Henry was planning.

461
00:32:28,381 --> 00:32:31,181
But you had to ask me again.
It's a reasonable question.

462
00:32:32,701 --> 00:32:34,701
What are you going to do? Nothing.

463
00:32:35,781 --> 00:32:38,661
I will remain neutral.
<font color="

464
00:32:38,661 --> 00:32:42,301
Henry is your family.
You are my family.

465
00:32:42,301 --> 00:32:44,701
Matilda and your son are blood.

466
00:32:44,701 --> 00:32:47,861
Henry's a circumstance of marriage -
there's no future in that.

467
00:32:50,981 --> 00:32:54,341
My son is an opportunity for him.
Yes.

468
00:32:54,341 --> 00:32:57,261
But he's a child.
<font color="

469
00:32:57,261 --> 00:32:59,221
Look what Henry did to me. So...

470
00:33:01,461 --> 00:33:03,341
..what are YOU going to do?

471
00:33:04,661 --> 00:33:06,341
Protect him.

472
00:33:19,021 --> 00:33:21,781
What the hell is this?
She says she has a message

473
00:33:21,781 --> 00:33:23,581
for you - about the Godwins.

474
00:33:27,941 --> 00:33:30,061
Where are they?
<font color="

475
00:33:30,061 --> 00:33:32,461
on a boat by now. You're too late.

476
00:33:32,461 --> 00:33:34,901
Then you're of no use to me.

477
00:33:34,901 --> 00:33:37,101
Kill her. Harold Godwinson.

478
00:33:39,661 --> 00:33:42,301
What do you think he'll do when
he finds out you murdered his wife?

479
00:33:43,381 --> 00:33:45,741
Go ahead. Prolong this, if you must.

480
00:33:45,741 --> 00:33:48,421
<font color="
that ordered it.

481
00:33:48,421 --> 00:33:49,861
Do you really want to risk that?

482
00:33:51,941 --> 00:33:53,821
Then we'll let Lady Emma
decide your fate.

483
00:33:55,301 --> 00:33:57,421
Take her as prisoner.

484
00:33:57,421 --> 00:33:58,981
And keep searching -

485
00:33:58,981 --> 00:34:01,021
they won't have
reached the beach yet.

486
00:34:06,981 --> 00:34:09,501
<font color="

487
00:34:09,501 --> 00:34:10,781
Nobody.

488
00:34:13,700 --> 00:34:15,981
She's not here.

489
00:34:15,981 --> 00:34:17,021
Understand?

490
00:34:20,941 --> 00:34:24,180
You saw the wagons leaving, Harold.

491
00:34:24,180 --> 00:34:25,861
Your wife will be
at the boats by now.

492
00:34:25,861 --> 00:34:28,461
They...They all will.
When I see them safe,

493
00:34:28,461 --> 00:34:31,341
then I'll be satisfied.
<font color="

494
00:34:31,341 --> 00:34:33,781
If it's stacked right,
no-one will see.

495
00:34:33,781 --> 00:34:35,740
He needs the heat. Right, Harold?

496
00:34:37,660 --> 00:34:40,220
Help him, Sweyn. I don't build
fires. Someone does it for me.

497
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:42,141
Find some rocks.

498
00:34:42,141 --> 00:34:44,141
Make sure they're dry.
<font color="

499
00:34:44,141 --> 00:34:47,381
It means they won't explode.
They're rocks.

500
00:34:47,381 --> 00:34:48,821
Sweyn, grow up!

501
00:34:50,061 --> 00:34:52,021
Don't talk to me like that.

502
00:34:54,541 --> 00:34:56,061
Just get him the rocks.

503
00:35:05,181 --> 00:35:06,781
COUGHS

504
00:35:10,781 --> 00:35:12,621
Father. Hmm.

505
00:35:16,061 --> 00:35:18,501
The boats are well hidden.
<font color="

506
00:35:22,861 --> 00:35:25,581
I'm sorry, Harold. It was an ambush.

507
00:35:25,581 --> 00:35:27,541
What could you have done?

508
00:35:34,101 --> 00:35:36,421
You were right, Harold.

509
00:35:38,141 --> 00:35:41,541
You were right
and I should have listened to you.

510
00:35:44,101 --> 00:35:45,781
There it is.

511
00:35:53,101 --> 00:35:54,941
Odo said you were out here.

512
00:36:00,701 --> 00:36:03,701
<font color="
Henry will never stop.

513
00:36:05,061 --> 00:36:07,901
You know the kind of man he is,
what he's capable of.

514
00:36:07,901 --> 00:36:09,901
Yes, I do know.

515
00:36:09,901 --> 00:36:12,901
I also know that your son's
childhood won't be like yours.

516
00:36:14,621 --> 00:36:16,021
I'm going to make sure of it.

517
00:36:19,381 --> 00:36:21,421
What do you want me to do?

518
00:36:21,421 --> 00:36:22,901
<font color="

519
00:36:25,981 --> 00:36:28,261
Someone leaving the citadel

520
00:36:28,261 --> 00:36:31,501
and travelling as far from here
as possible.

521
00:36:31,501 --> 00:36:32,541
And, Fitz...

522
00:36:35,021 --> 00:36:36,541
..Matilda can't know about this.

523
00:36:38,021 --> 00:36:39,901
Not until it's done.

524
00:37:09,261 --> 00:37:10,301
Thank you.

525
00:37:11,781 --> 00:37:14,141
Were you crying?

526
00:37:14,141 --> 00:37:17,461

I-I can't reach them.

Oh, here.

Are you pregnant?
Sh! That's not true. It is.

529
00:37:30,781 --> 00:37:33,901
All the women in the stockade
get red eyes when they're pregnant.

Please don't say a word.

Mother? The attack on
the Godwin stockade.

Attack?

What...What's happened?

00:38:31,941 --> 00:38:34,701
That idiot Morcar rode in
like a roaring bull.

537
00:38:36,061 --> 00:38:39,101

scattered before they could be...

538
00:38:40,261 --> 00:38:43,781
..dealt with. Well,
perhaps God's mercy spared them.

539
00:38:43,781 --> 00:38:45,341
God's mercy didn't spare Aethel.

540
00:38:50,141 --> 00:38:53,221
My darling boy,
it's not about God's mercy -

541
00:38:53,221 --> 00:38:54,941
it's about God's punishment.

542
00:38:56,101 --> 00:39:00,301

with this.

543
00:39:00,301 --> 00:39:01,341
Edward...

544
00:39:02,341 --> 00:39:03,421
..do you trust me?

545
00:39:04,821 --> 00:39:07,941
Haven't I always kept you alive?
Yes, Mother,

546
00:39:07,941 --> 00:39:10,741
you have. Let's pray together.

547
00:39:10,741 --> 00:39:12,381
Maybe we'll find some answers.

548
00:39:15,621 --> 00:39:17,261
Let's pray.

549
00:39:25,101 --> 00:39:26,181
<font color="

550
00:39:26,181 --> 00:39:29,901
You can go. My lord, the Duchess
said I should stay with him until...

551
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,661
Leave now.

552
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:33,781
BABY GURGLES

553
00:40:12,981 --> 00:40:14,821
They will give you a name.

554
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:18,581
My lord.

555
00:40:21,861 --> 00:40:23,381
The family is here.

556
00:40:25,181 --> 00:40:26,941
They will take good care of him.

557
00:40:31,901 --> 00:40:34,301
<font color="

558
00:40:45,581 --> 00:40:47,061
Well?

559
00:40:48,421 --> 00:40:50,861
Well, what?

560
00:40:50,861 --> 00:40:53,221
Well, you asked to talk to me.

561
00:40:53,221 --> 00:40:54,821
I sent no such message.

562
00:40:58,301 --> 00:40:59,981
Then why am I here?

563
00:41:14,581 --> 00:41:16,501
William!

564
00:41:16,501 --> 00:41:17,941
William.

565
00:41:18,981 --> 00:41:21,861
William. What have you done?

566
00:41:21,861 --> 00:41:23,461
What have you done?

567
00:41:28,181 --> 00:41:29,781
<font color="

568
00:41:31,061 --> 00:41:32,821
His name is Robert.

569
00:41:36,461 --> 00:41:37,981
HORN BLOWS

570
00:41:45,061 --> 00:41:46,861
Take this.

571
00:41:46,861 --> 00:41:49,181
Hurry! The Mercians
aren't far behind.

572
00:41:49,181 --> 00:41:51,901
Where's Edith? I'm sorry,
Harold, we got separated.

573
00:41:51,901 --> 00:41:53,901
Mother, where's Edith?

574
00:41:53,901 --> 00:41:55,461
<font color="

575
00:41:58,421 --> 00:42:01,261
Get away from me!
We're not leaving her behind.

576
00:42:01,261 --> 00:42:04,261
Get away from me!
Get away from me!

577
00:42:04,261 --> 00:42:07,141
We are not leaving her behind.
Harold, calm down. No!

578
00:42:07,141 --> 00:42:08,541
Calm down, Harold! Get away from me!

579
00:42:08,541 --> 00:42:12,541
<font color="

580
00:42:12,541 --> 00:42:15,101
Harold. They need you.

581
00:42:15,101 --> 00:42:18,901
What would Edith want?
Think. Your children need you.

582
00:42:20,181 --> 00:42:21,901
Mercians coming!

583
00:42:23,021 --> 00:42:25,181
CHILDREN CONTINUE TO CRY
