1
00:01:26,212 --> 00:01:29,132
Send a rider tonight
and he'll be back by morning.
2
00:01:29,215 --> 00:01:32,343
Why don't they let
us dry ourselves and get warm?
3
00:01:33,178 --> 00:01:35,430
If I stay like this,
I will rust.
4
00:01:35,513 --> 00:01:37,807
What kind of fellow
is this Jarl Borg?
5
00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:41,936
This is no way
to treat guests,
whoever they are.
6
00:01:42,020 --> 00:01:44,314
Especially if they've been
traveling for days on end.
7
00:02:03,374 --> 00:02:05,919
Are you the emissaries
from King Horik?
8
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:09,672
Well, I can tell you at once,
you're wasting your time.
9
00:02:09,756 --> 00:02:13,384
It's my land,
and I want it
returned to me.
10
00:02:13,468 --> 00:02:14,886
That's all I have to say.
11
00:02:15,511 --> 00:02:17,263
He wants to
make peace with you
12
00:02:17,347 --> 00:02:21,142
and come to some
kind of agreement.
13
00:02:21,226 --> 00:02:23,895
Then tell him if
he leaves my land,
we can have peace.
14
00:02:25,521 --> 00:02:27,232
But not before.
15
00:02:30,902 --> 00:02:34,322
How can you make
peace, Jarl Borg,
16
00:02:34,405 --> 00:02:36,574
if you insist on
humiliating him?
17
00:02:36,699 --> 00:02:38,701
If I invade and defeat him,
18
00:02:38,785 --> 00:02:41,579
will he not be
even more humiliated?
19
00:02:41,663 --> 00:02:42,956
Not if he fights well.
20
00:02:44,666 --> 00:02:45,792
In any case,
21
00:02:46,709 --> 00:02:50,046
I am sure that
he would relish a fight.
22
00:03:04,102 --> 00:03:05,228
What's your name?
23
00:03:07,272 --> 00:03:08,773
Ragnar Lothbrok.
24
00:03:10,108 --> 00:03:12,068
You are Ragnar Lothbrok,
25
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:14,654
the one who sailed west?
26
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:18,366
I am surprised that
you've heard about that.
27
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,912
How are you surprised?
28
00:03:23,955 --> 00:03:25,873
Everyone has heard
of your exploits.
29
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:36,843
Why have we not offered
our guests dry
clothes and food?
30
00:03:37,302 --> 00:03:39,137
Treat these folk well.
31
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:42,807
Give them ale,
let them dry out, feed them.
32
00:03:42,974 --> 00:03:46,144
Tomorrow, you and I
will talk again,
Ragnar Lothbrok.
33
00:04:11,544 --> 00:04:13,504
You haven't
eaten in three days.
34
00:04:28,269 --> 00:04:29,771
You see?
35
00:04:33,191 --> 00:04:34,817
I have fears.
36
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:40,782
Go to the Seer,
37
00:04:40,865 --> 00:04:43,368
ask if your fears
will come true.
38
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:45,828
It's sometimes better
not to know one's fate.
39
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:50,541
I take it,
from what you said yesterday,
40
00:04:50,625 --> 00:04:52,293
that King Horik is
prepared to compromise
41
00:04:52,377 --> 00:04:55,755
and offer some deal
regarding those lands of mine,
42
00:04:55,838 --> 00:04:57,298
which he still occupies?
43
00:04:57,382 --> 00:04:58,925
He is prepared
to pay you
44
00:04:59,008 --> 00:05:01,135
to renounce
your illegal claims
45
00:05:01,552 --> 00:05:02,887
of his lands.
46
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:04,931
You disappoint me now,
Ragnar Lothbrok.
47
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:06,891
I thought you'd come here
with a serious purpose.
48
00:05:07,058 --> 00:05:08,309
If you would just
name your price.
49
00:05:08,434 --> 00:05:09,727
The land is priceless.
50
00:05:11,062 --> 00:05:13,648
Which is why King Horik
wants to keep it for himself.
51
00:05:13,731 --> 00:05:17,402
Every piece of
land has a price,
just like every human.
52
00:05:17,485 --> 00:05:19,153
Well, you
don't understand.
53
00:05:19,237 --> 00:05:21,280
This is not
a small plot of land
54
00:05:21,406 --> 00:05:23,491
on which you grow
turnips and onions.
55
00:05:23,574 --> 00:05:25,326
We're talking about
a vast swathe of land,
56
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:29,414
and on this land,
in the earth, are minerals,
things of great value.
57
00:05:29,497 --> 00:05:32,375
Why else would I
assert my claim?
58
00:05:32,458 --> 00:05:34,627
King Horik resists
your claim,
59
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,588
but still, in good faith,
60
00:05:37,672 --> 00:05:39,674
he is willing to
settle with you.
61
00:05:39,757 --> 00:05:42,176
If you will name
a reasonable price.
62
00:05:44,345 --> 00:05:47,515
At the moment,
my price is King Horik's head.
63
00:05:50,435 --> 00:05:51,644
Well, then,
64
00:05:52,603 --> 00:05:54,021
it seems I am done.
65
00:05:54,814 --> 00:05:56,774
Hold on,
please, sit down,
sit down.
66
00:05:58,985 --> 00:06:00,945
Let's see if we can
find another way.
67
00:06:01,863 --> 00:06:03,364
What do you
have in mind?
68
00:06:03,448 --> 00:06:05,241
What if my claim
was acknowledged,
69
00:06:05,324 --> 00:06:06,784
but I was willing
to lease the land
70
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:08,369
back to the King
during his lifetime?
71
00:06:08,953 --> 00:06:11,706
Or what if we deferred
judgment on ownership,
72
00:06:11,789 --> 00:06:13,583
but shared
the mineral rights?
73
00:06:15,626 --> 00:06:17,545
What do you say?
74
00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:19,338
Can we start negotiating
in this manner?
75
00:06:23,176 --> 00:06:24,969
Why not?
76
00:06:27,805 --> 00:06:30,349
I have not been
given the authority to
77
00:06:30,808 --> 00:06:33,686
negotiate in this manner.
78
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:36,814
You mean King Horik
sent you here with
nothing but a demand?
79
00:06:38,149 --> 00:06:40,067
And yet he speaks of peace!
80
00:06:40,902 --> 00:06:43,112
I don't know
what is in his mind.
81
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:45,156
Well, then,
maybe you should ask him.
82
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:51,996
Let me make a suggestion.
83
00:06:52,622 --> 00:06:54,081
Why don't you send
one of your men back
84
00:06:54,165 --> 00:06:57,043
so he can put to King Horik
my ideas for a remedy?
85
00:06:57,335 --> 00:06:58,836
If you think
that will work.
86
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,631
Good. Your messenger
will take several days.
87
00:07:01,714 --> 00:07:03,841
So, in the meantime,
why don't you and
88
00:07:04,008 --> 00:07:06,135
your men go and visit
our famous ash tree?
89
00:07:06,219 --> 00:07:07,845
It is famous not
only for its size,
90
00:07:08,012 --> 00:07:09,639
but because it
never loses its leaves,
91
00:07:09,722 --> 00:07:10,932
summer or winter.
92
00:07:11,974 --> 00:07:14,435
Some people even
say it's Yggdrasil,
93
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,604
the tree that
holds up the sky.
94
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:18,940
And I will
provide you an escort.
95
00:07:19,023 --> 00:07:21,025
I only have one
very small request.
96
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,027
I would like one
of your men to stay
97
00:07:23,152 --> 00:07:25,029
behind here as
a kind of security.
98
00:07:25,196 --> 00:07:26,822
You understand, I hope?
99
00:07:33,037 --> 00:07:35,122
My brother Rollo
will stay behind.
100
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,549
Floki!
101
00:07:56,978 --> 00:07:58,604
So how long
must we travel?
102
00:07:59,063 --> 00:08:01,649
It can take us three
days to reach the tree.
103
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:06,404
It looks like rain.
104
00:08:10,575 --> 00:08:12,034
Come.
105
00:08:23,588 --> 00:08:24,880
Why have you come?
106
00:08:24,964 --> 00:08:27,717
I am frightened
for my husband.
107
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,053
Do you think your husband
is in some kind of danger?
108
00:08:32,263 --> 00:08:35,725
I've had strange
and disturbing dreams.
109
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:38,477
What happens in your dreams?
110
00:08:38,561 --> 00:08:41,397
Dark shapes come
to me at night.
111
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,025
Monstrous forms.
112
00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:46,527
When I wake,
113
00:08:46,611 --> 00:08:48,696
they skulk in the
shadows, shapeless,
114
00:08:48,779 --> 00:08:52,908
but no sooner am I asleep
than they creep forward again.
115
00:08:52,992 --> 00:08:54,035
Ah, yes.
116
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:58,456
The shadows come
from Hel's hall.
117
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:01,792
No one can ensnare them,
not even the gods.
118
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:04,462
What is it
that they want?
119
00:09:06,297 --> 00:09:07,757
To take something
from you.
120
00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:09,884
My life?
121
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:13,763
No, something far more
important to you than that.
122
00:09:14,347 --> 00:09:15,931
My husband's life?
123
00:09:19,894 --> 00:09:21,270
Tell me.
124
00:09:21,354 --> 00:09:23,856
Why must you
all force me up
125
00:09:23,939 --> 00:09:26,108
and unearth me
to sorrows?
126
00:09:28,319 --> 00:09:30,488
Your husband is in danger,
127
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:32,698
but not for his life.
128
00:09:33,407 --> 00:09:36,160
He is in danger
from the magical world.
129
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:39,330
How?
130
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:44,418
Answer me.
131
00:09:44,502 --> 00:09:47,463
I was unwilling to speak
and I will say no more now!
132
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:07,942
So, Rollo,
133
00:10:08,025 --> 00:10:09,819
how do you get on
with your brother?
134
00:10:11,904 --> 00:10:13,489
We get along fine.
135
00:10:14,031 --> 00:10:15,700
Why shouldn't we?
136
00:10:17,076 --> 00:10:18,285
No reason.
137
00:10:18,369 --> 00:10:20,454
But not all brothers
get on so well.
138
00:10:20,538 --> 00:10:23,082
I know that from
personal experience.
139
00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:25,459
What do you mean?
140
00:10:26,836 --> 00:10:28,879
I, too, had a brother.
141
00:10:28,963 --> 00:10:30,673
I loved him.
142
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:34,760
We were very close,
as befits blood brothers.
143
00:10:34,844 --> 00:10:36,554
We fought together
in the shield-wall.
144
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:38,347
We shared the same women.
145
00:10:40,433 --> 00:10:42,435
When my father was
killed, there was
146
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,562
fierce competition to
replace him as Jarl.
147
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:46,397
And although I
was his eldest son,
148
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,691
I was not sure I
was going to succeed.
149
00:10:49,734 --> 00:10:51,610
However,
I was elected
at the thing.
150
00:10:51,694 --> 00:10:53,863
We had a feast
to celebrate.
151
00:10:53,946 --> 00:10:55,573
My wife was there.
152
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,367
My young, beautiful wife.
153
00:10:59,201 --> 00:11:00,661
We'd just gotten married.
154
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:04,874
And all the others who had
stood for election against me.
155
00:11:07,752 --> 00:11:09,837
My brother poisoned them
156
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:12,381
all.
157
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:15,676
I only survived because
158
00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:19,513
my wife took the cup
I was about to drink from
159
00:11:19,597 --> 00:11:21,932
and drained it herself
in celebration.
160
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:26,103
I will never
forget her screams.
161
00:11:27,605 --> 00:11:29,523
It's my wife's
screams that will
162
00:11:29,648 --> 00:11:31,609
haunt me for
the rest of my life.
163
00:11:35,321 --> 00:11:39,492
My brother
denied responsibility,
but his guilt was too obvious.
164
00:11:39,575 --> 00:11:42,578
So I blinded him
with my own hands,
165
00:11:42,661 --> 00:11:45,456
and then I burned him alive.
166
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:49,710
Although he laughed
while he was burning.
167
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:58,219
That's what I know about
the love between brothers.
168
00:12:02,223 --> 00:12:05,392
Ragnar would
never do such a thing.
169
00:12:06,143 --> 00:12:07,478
Of course not.
170
00:12:08,479 --> 00:12:10,648
No, your brother
is different.
171
00:12:11,607 --> 00:12:13,984
Your brother's a great man,
172
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:17,112
a great warrior.
173
00:12:18,155 --> 00:12:19,782
As am I.
174
00:12:22,076 --> 00:12:23,577
I'm sure you are.
175
00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:27,998
And yet I've
never heard of you.
176
00:12:38,092 --> 00:12:39,093
Whoa.
177
00:12:40,386 --> 00:12:42,596
Our camp is set
up over here.
178
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,266
There's some
excellent fishing upstream,
under the waterfall.
179
00:12:45,349 --> 00:12:47,101
I will go.
180
00:12:47,184 --> 00:12:49,103
And I also,
181
00:12:49,186 --> 00:12:51,188
for everybody knows...
182
00:12:51,313 --> 00:12:53,148
Three eyes are
better than one.
183
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:37,484
You! Look away!
184
00:13:38,152 --> 00:13:39,570
Who are you?
Look away at once!
185
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,407
What are we
supposed to
be looking at?
186
00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:46,410
I'm blind!
See? I can't
see anything!
187
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:53,125
Arne!
188
00:13:53,208 --> 00:13:55,002
What? You're going
to try to kill us
189
00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:57,713
for protecting the
reputation of our mistress?
190
00:13:57,796 --> 00:13:59,006
Shame on you!
191
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,550
We came upon your
mistress by chance.
192
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,386
We are strangers here,
193
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:07,222
traveling to
the great ash tree,
guests of Jarl Borg.
194
00:14:07,306 --> 00:14:10,309
Jarl Borg?
Then why didn't
you say so at once?
195
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:13,187
We will just return
to our horses then.
196
00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:19,944
You spied on me.
197
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:26,533
We meant no harm.
198
00:14:26,617 --> 00:14:28,953
They say they are
guests of Jarl Borg.
199
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:32,706
Are you alone?
200
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:35,209
We are traveling with
Earl Ragnar Lothbrok.
201
00:14:37,962 --> 00:14:41,507
Then I think Earl Ragnar owes
me an apology on your behalf.
202
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:43,717
Don't you?
203
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:50,224
I never knew that
204
00:14:50,891 --> 00:14:53,852
fresh fish was
also packed in salt.
205
00:14:55,813 --> 00:14:57,940
Listen, it's
not our fault.
206
00:14:58,023 --> 00:15:00,776
We just saw her
bathing. What were
we supposed to do?
207
00:15:01,986 --> 00:15:03,028
Fish.
208
00:15:03,112 --> 00:15:04,738
You did not see
her, Ragnar.
209
00:15:05,781 --> 00:15:07,700
So you get your
cheek slashed,
210
00:15:07,825 --> 00:15:10,577
and now I'm supposed
to apologize
211
00:15:10,661 --> 00:15:13,497
for you two staring
at a naked body?
212
00:15:14,498 --> 00:15:15,833
That's what she said.
213
00:15:16,709 --> 00:15:20,004
Who is she, anyway,
to put such a high price
on her nakedness?
214
00:15:20,087 --> 00:15:21,463
We didn't ask.
215
00:15:26,677 --> 00:15:27,803
I'm intrigued.
216
00:15:28,554 --> 00:15:30,014
What's so intriguing?
217
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:33,225
Sometimes the gods put things
like this in front of us
218
00:15:33,308 --> 00:15:34,435
as some kind of test.
219
00:15:35,477 --> 00:15:37,521
She has set me a challenge
220
00:15:37,688 --> 00:15:39,189
and I am up to task.
221
00:15:39,314 --> 00:15:42,443
See, I'm less interested in
what you say is her beauty,
222
00:15:42,526 --> 00:15:44,194
than what I suspect
is her wit.
223
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,113
So tell her,
224
00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:47,740
I invite her
here to join us.
225
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:50,868
Neither dressed
226
00:15:50,951 --> 00:15:52,286
nor undressed.
227
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,374
What else?
228
00:15:57,499 --> 00:16:00,544
Neither hungry nor full,
229
00:16:01,545 --> 00:16:05,257
neither in company nor alone.
230
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,137
Can you remember
all of that, one eye?
231
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:16,143
What did the
Seer tell you?
232
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:20,064
He said that it's true,
that Ragnar is in danger.
233
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:23,233
From whom?
234
00:16:24,902 --> 00:16:26,153
I don't know.
235
00:16:33,869 --> 00:16:35,120
Who do you think?
236
00:16:42,252 --> 00:16:44,421
I think he is in
danger from himself.
237
00:16:52,262 --> 00:16:53,847
Have you ever been
to Yggdrasil before?
238
00:16:53,972 --> 00:16:55,599
No.
239
00:17:06,485 --> 00:17:08,362
So, Earl Ragnar,
240
00:17:08,445 --> 00:17:10,531
I come to you
as you desired.
241
00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:12,991
Neither dressed
nor undressed,
242
00:17:13,075 --> 00:17:15,285
neither hungry nor full,
243
00:17:15,369 --> 00:17:17,788
neither alone
nor yet in company.
244
00:17:19,081 --> 00:17:21,041
Do I pass your test?
245
00:17:21,125 --> 00:17:22,417
I owe you an apology.
246
00:17:23,127 --> 00:17:24,628
I accept.
247
00:17:31,051 --> 00:17:35,139
Could I offer you some
horrible salted fish?
248
00:17:36,807 --> 00:17:38,225
I'm very tempted.
249
00:17:38,934 --> 00:17:41,103
You can get tired
of fresh fish.
250
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:46,191
Come.
251
00:17:58,328 --> 00:17:59,830
Sit, please.
252
00:18:02,875 --> 00:18:04,209
May I ask your name?
253
00:18:05,169 --> 00:18:06,628
My name is Aslaug.
254
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:10,424
We're on our way to
see the great ash tree.
255
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:12,843
Of course.
256
00:18:14,178 --> 00:18:15,971
You are welcome to join us.
257
00:18:20,601 --> 00:18:23,270
Will you come along, Aslaug?
258
00:18:37,576 --> 00:18:38,660
Siggy, what is it?
259
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:39,870
No, it's nothing.
260
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:47,085
I visited my cousin
a few days ago.
261
00:18:47,169 --> 00:18:49,087
She had just buried
her young son.
262
00:18:50,172 --> 00:18:51,632
Why did he die?
263
00:18:54,593 --> 00:18:58,597
One day he was fine,
and the next,
he caught a fever that
264
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,059
made him sweat and cry
out in the night,
and the next day,
265
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,062
she put him in the ground.
266
00:20:06,373 --> 00:20:08,500
But if this
is Yggdrasil,
267
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:10,168
then it must be the same tree
268
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:13,297
that Lord Odin once
hanged himself from.
269
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:14,923
Why not?
270
00:20:16,008 --> 00:20:17,801
All things are possible.
271
00:20:31,314 --> 00:20:37,070
"I hung from a windy
tree for nine long nights,
272
00:20:37,195 --> 00:20:38,739
"wounded by a spear,
273
00:20:38,822 --> 00:20:40,449
"dedicated to Odin,
274
00:20:41,283 --> 00:20:43,994
"from that tree of
which no man knows
275
00:20:44,494 --> 00:20:46,538
"from where its roots run."
276
00:21:00,177 --> 00:21:01,803
No, please.
277
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,223
Look after my daughter
278
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:06,308
first.
279
00:21:07,184 --> 00:21:08,810
It's all right.
280
00:21:34,294 --> 00:21:35,587
What's wrong, boy?
281
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:36,713
What do you think?
282
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:39,299
My father is making
a fool of himself.
283
00:21:39,841 --> 00:21:41,968
He's enjoying himself
in the company of
a beautiful woman.
284
00:21:42,052 --> 00:21:43,345
What's foolish
about that?
285
00:21:44,179 --> 00:21:45,889
Some day you'll
do the same thing.
286
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,725
If Lagertha were here,
she'd cut his balls off.
287
00:21:48,809 --> 00:21:51,061
Then it's
a good thing she's not.
288
00:21:52,395 --> 00:21:53,980
Listen to me,
my friend.
289
00:21:54,064 --> 00:21:56,608
Your father and mother
are a famous couple.
290
00:21:56,691 --> 00:21:59,694
They love each other.
Everybody knows that.
291
00:21:59,778 --> 00:22:02,280
So don't begrudge your old man
a little harmless fun, huh?
292
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:32,686
I trust all is to
your satisfaction.
293
00:22:34,146 --> 00:22:35,522
You feed me very well.
294
00:22:35,605 --> 00:22:36,898
You're an
important guest.
295
00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:41,236
We would like to
keep you entertained
until your brother returns.
296
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:45,782
You always talk
about my brother.
297
00:22:45,866 --> 00:22:47,826
What choice do I have?
298
00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:49,619
He is your earl.
299
00:22:55,125 --> 00:22:56,918
Which one would
you like tonight?
300
00:22:58,962 --> 00:23:00,672
Why don't you
take both of them?
301
00:23:02,257 --> 00:23:04,176
I don't need to be
bribed with women.
302
00:23:09,347 --> 00:23:11,057
What is it you
want, Rollo?
303
00:23:13,602 --> 00:23:15,604
What is it you
really want?
304
00:23:23,653 --> 00:23:26,531
Fenrir, the giant wolf,
305
00:23:26,865 --> 00:23:29,951
could not be constrained
by any means known to man,
306
00:23:31,161 --> 00:23:33,455
so the dwarves forged a chain,
307
00:23:34,664 --> 00:23:36,917
but not from metal.
308
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,629
Nothing made by man
could constrain Fenrir,
309
00:23:40,712 --> 00:23:43,340
so they forged it
from the things we cannot see
310
00:23:44,341 --> 00:23:46,051
and the things we cannot hear.
311
00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:49,304
Like the breath of a fish,
312
00:23:49,387 --> 00:23:51,806
the sound a moving cat makes.
313
00:23:52,349 --> 00:23:54,100
The roots
314
00:23:54,184 --> 00:23:55,602
of a mountain.
315
00:23:56,269 --> 00:23:57,312
You know?
316
00:23:59,022 --> 00:24:00,815
Of course I know!
317
00:24:00,899 --> 00:24:02,359
These things interest me!
318
00:24:03,401 --> 00:24:05,737
Like the terrible tricks
of the god Loki.
319
00:24:06,404 --> 00:24:09,908
How he turns into a flea
to divest the goddess Freyja
320
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:12,035
of her precious necklace.
321
00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:15,247
He's only a distant ancestor.
322
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:23,546
I came to ask
about Jarl Borg.
323
00:24:25,215 --> 00:24:26,466
He won't sell.
324
00:24:27,092 --> 00:24:28,551
He wants to make a deal.
325
00:24:29,552 --> 00:24:32,138
I'm not interested
in deals.
326
00:24:34,391 --> 00:24:36,476
That would make
it hard for Ragnar.
327
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,646
Ragnar will come to
the right conclusion
328
00:24:39,896 --> 00:24:41,273
and make the
right decision.
329
00:24:42,565 --> 00:24:45,110
In any case, there is
someone else in Götland
330
00:24:45,527 --> 00:24:46,778
who looks after my affairs.
331
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,739
Don't you care if
the negotiations fail?
332
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:54,494
Look!
333
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:33,366
I am going to die.
334
00:25:34,951 --> 00:25:37,996
No, you are not
going to die.
335
00:25:39,414 --> 00:25:42,042
The Seer might think that
he is the only one in Kattegat
336
00:25:42,125 --> 00:25:44,294
with the gift of prophecy,
337
00:25:45,462 --> 00:25:47,088
but he's wrong,
338
00:25:47,172 --> 00:25:49,549
and I know you are
not going to die.
339
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:59,017
I should tell you the truth
about who I really am.
340
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,480
I am Princess Aslaug.
341
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:06,524
My mother was
the shield-maiden
Brunhilde.
342
00:26:09,819 --> 00:26:13,907
Everyone knows the renown
of your mother.
343
00:26:15,325 --> 00:26:16,826
But I am not her.
344
00:26:17,660 --> 00:26:19,204
I am myself.
345
00:26:20,372 --> 00:26:22,499
Both my parents
are dead now,
346
00:26:22,957 --> 00:26:25,001
and I did not
know them anyway.
347
00:26:25,335 --> 00:26:27,337
Why did you
come along with me?
348
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,673
Because I had no choice.
349
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:45,730
Why did you do that?
350
00:26:46,856 --> 00:26:48,525
Because I had no choice.
351
00:27:45,206 --> 00:27:46,708
I hate you.
352
00:27:47,876 --> 00:27:49,752
It's disgusting.
353
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,006
I could not help myself.
354
00:27:53,089 --> 00:27:55,049
Shall I tell that
to Lagertha,
355
00:27:55,133 --> 00:27:56,176
your wife?
356
00:27:56,259 --> 00:27:57,802
If you want to.
357
00:27:59,596 --> 00:28:02,348
You cannot love her
that much after all,
358
00:28:02,432 --> 00:28:05,852
no matter what you say,
no matter what people think.
359
00:28:05,935 --> 00:28:08,146
I don't care
what people think.
360
00:28:09,022 --> 00:28:10,773
Of course I love
your mother.
361
00:28:18,698 --> 00:28:21,451
Swear to me that it
will not happen again.
362
00:28:28,499 --> 00:28:31,502
I swear to you it
won't happen again.
363
00:28:41,012 --> 00:28:42,680
I love you.
364
00:28:44,641 --> 00:28:45,975
Now, go play.
365
00:29:36,484 --> 00:29:37,944
No!
366
00:29:38,027 --> 00:29:39,487
No!
367
00:29:41,197 --> 00:29:43,866
No!
368
00:29:55,378 --> 00:29:56,879
Athelstan?
369
00:30:00,425 --> 00:30:03,344
He is so weak
he cannot eat.
370
00:30:04,804 --> 00:30:07,140
Pray to the gods,
371
00:30:07,223 --> 00:30:09,809
please, for him.
372
00:31:15,917 --> 00:31:17,460
Wait, no.
373
00:31:20,380 --> 00:31:21,964
I said no.
374
00:31:33,768 --> 00:31:35,311
No.
375
00:32:35,621 --> 00:32:36,706
Lord of lords,
376
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,917
we make this offering to you,
377
00:32:40,001 --> 00:32:42,462
hoping you will
find it pleasing.
378
00:33:24,170 --> 00:33:26,047
Can you
try a little more?
379
00:33:39,477 --> 00:33:41,145
Gyda.
380
00:34:17,473 --> 00:34:19,058
Enjoy!
381
00:34:19,809 --> 00:34:21,143
What's wrong with you?
382
00:34:41,831 --> 00:34:43,499
I'm carrying your child.
383
00:34:49,797 --> 00:34:52,466
Did the Seer not
promise you more sons?
384
00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:45,311
Whoa.
385
00:35:57,448 --> 00:36:00,034
We welcome our
guests to this feast.
386
00:36:00,117 --> 00:36:02,620
Now tell us what you learned
from King Horik.
387
00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:06,457
What compromises is
he willing to make?
388
00:36:07,917 --> 00:36:09,752
Can I not eat first?
389
00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:21,806
Well, he said...
390
00:36:25,017 --> 00:36:26,644
What did he say?
391
00:36:33,943 --> 00:36:36,654
What did he say?
392
00:36:39,907 --> 00:36:41,867
He will make
no compromises,
393
00:36:42,827 --> 00:36:44,120
no deals.
394
00:36:44,703 --> 00:36:47,748
He say you must name
your price for the land.
395
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:50,042
Or?
396
00:36:51,961 --> 00:36:53,963
He didn't say "or."
397
00:36:58,926 --> 00:37:01,220
It seems your mission
has been entirely wasted,
398
00:37:01,303 --> 00:37:02,972
Ragnar Lothbrok.
399
00:37:03,973 --> 00:37:06,475
You and your men
must leave here
in the morning.
400
00:37:08,936 --> 00:37:11,647
Unless you want to
repudiate King Horik,
401
00:37:12,982 --> 00:37:14,733
renounce your
allegiance to him?
402
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:25,744
I see.
403
00:37:28,205 --> 00:37:29,498
Very well.
404
00:37:36,839 --> 00:37:38,174
Good.
405
00:37:40,176 --> 00:37:41,469
War.
406
00:39:09,098 --> 00:39:10,849
Odin.
407
00:39:59,648 --> 00:40:01,859
So, my friend,
the die is cast.
408
00:40:01,942 --> 00:40:03,485
King Horik has
left me no choice.
409
00:40:03,569 --> 00:40:06,822
I must attack him and claim
what is rightfully mine.
410
00:40:09,116 --> 00:40:12,494
Your brother will
clearly not support me,
but the question is,
411
00:40:12,578 --> 00:40:14,246
will you?
412
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:22,856
Will you fight alongside me?
413
00:41:24,274 --> 00:41:27,152
Together, you and I can
carve out the new kingdom.
414
00:41:37,538 --> 00:41:39,998
Isn't that what
you really want?
415
00:41:41,417 --> 00:41:44,545
The death of your brother
and the start
of your own fame?
416
00:42:09,903 --> 00:42:11,697
Well, what do you say?
417
00:43:28,774 --> 00:43:30,359
I say yes.
418
00:43:35,072 --> 00:43:37,032
I will fight
with you.
419
00:43:40,077 --> 00:43:42,579
I will fight with you
against my brother.
