<i>(IF I HAD A HEART</i> PLAYING)

2
00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:14,826
We'll stay here.

3
00:01:14,951 --> 00:01:16,161
ASLAUG: No, stop.

4
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:21,416
I'm not staying there.
It looks disgusting.

5
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:24,461
Princess, it will be
winter soon enough.

6
00:01:24,836 --> 00:01:27,589
If we have nowhere to live,
no roof over our heads,

7
00:01:27,672 --> 00:01:30,800
no hearth fire to warm us,
we will all perish.

8
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:34,179
Surely we can find
some Earl's hall,

9
00:01:34,304 --> 00:01:36,181
somewhere more
inviting and comfortable.

10
00:01:38,266 --> 00:01:39,934
For my children.

11
00:01:41,561 --> 00:01:43,897
And if we are to
find such a place,

12
00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:44,939
it would only take
a few days

13
00:01:45,023 --> 00:01:47,692
before someone
took the news
to Jarl Borg.

14
00:01:52,614 --> 00:01:54,199
We will survive this.

15
00:01:54,282 --> 00:01:56,451
Believe me,
you and I can
survive this.

16
00:01:56,534 --> 00:01:58,286
It will make
you stronger.

17
00:01:58,369 --> 00:02:00,038
It will make your
sons stronger, also.

18
00:02:21,726 --> 00:02:23,812
BORG: People of Kattegat,
welcome.

19
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:25,980
Let me introduce myself.

20
00:02:26,064 --> 00:02:30,902
I am Jarl Borg of Götland,
your new ruler.

21
00:02:32,987 --> 00:02:36,282
I promise you
I only came here
to seek justice.

22
00:02:36,366 --> 00:02:39,077
Earl Ragnar broke
his sacred promise
he made to me

23
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,745
and therefore,
by our laws,

24
00:02:40,829 --> 00:02:42,997
he forfeited
the right to rule.

25
00:02:43,581 --> 00:02:45,792
You will find me a fair ruler.

26
00:02:46,042 --> 00:02:49,170
Kattegat is an
important trading station
and I mean to see it flourish.

27
00:02:49,254 --> 00:02:53,258
If you all cooperate
and work with me,
we shall have no problems.

28
00:02:54,425 --> 00:02:55,885
Of course,
I will want my wife,

29
00:02:55,969 --> 00:02:57,595
more of my own people
to join me here,

30
00:02:57,679 --> 00:03:01,307
but that should
not disturb you.
We will all be one family.

31
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:13,194
There will be no
protest against my rule.

32
00:03:14,946 --> 00:03:18,908
And there will be no
law here except mine.

33
00:03:21,786 --> 00:03:25,081
Whoever will deliver me
the whereabouts
of Ragnar's wife,

34
00:03:25,164 --> 00:03:28,459
his children
and his brother,

35
00:03:28,543 --> 00:03:32,630
will be paid his
or her own weight
in silver and gold.

36
00:03:34,924 --> 00:03:38,553
From now on, only
criminals will talk
of Ragnar Lothbrok.

37
00:03:38,636 --> 00:03:42,473
To all intents and purposes,
Ragnar Lothbrok is dead.

38
00:03:57,405 --> 00:03:59,073
Why have you come?

39
00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:05,163
I've come to ask
you some questions.

40
00:04:05,246 --> 00:04:06,789
Not too many.

41
00:04:07,957 --> 00:04:10,376
I have no time to
answer too many.

42
00:04:12,712 --> 00:04:14,839
Then tell me this,
wise one.

43
00:04:17,175 --> 00:04:19,886
Did you foresee
what has happened here?

44
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:22,722
And if so, did you
warn the people?

45
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:25,350
I see what the gods
allow me to see,

46
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:28,227
and say what they
allow me to say.

47
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,272
Then you saw nothing?

48
00:04:32,774 --> 00:04:34,400
Or you said nothing?

49
00:04:38,863 --> 00:04:41,032
Do you have any
other questions?

50
00:04:51,292 --> 00:04:54,045
I'd like to know
what will happen to me.

51
00:04:54,462 --> 00:04:57,382
If, that is, the gods
will allow you to see.

52
00:05:00,218 --> 00:05:01,844
Yes, I can see.

53
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:05,348
And I see an eagle.

54
00:05:07,058 --> 00:05:09,560
I see that an eagle
hovers over you.

55
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:13,731
But I also see
that you yourself
are the eagle.

56
00:05:14,232 --> 00:05:16,067
An eagle is a good sign.

57
00:05:17,527 --> 00:05:19,904
Always, in the sagas,
a good sign.

58
00:05:21,322 --> 00:05:24,617
An eagle, a soaring bird.

59
00:05:27,245 --> 00:05:29,455
A good sign from the gods.

60
00:05:30,915 --> 00:05:32,583
Is it not true, old man?

61
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,378
Yes, I see an eagle,

62
00:05:37,255 --> 00:05:40,466
and the eagle is
your destiny, Jarl Borg.

63
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,788
EDMUND: Sire,
if we continue
to do nothing,

64
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:12,623
their depredations
will only spread.

65
00:06:12,707 --> 00:06:16,335
They've not removed themselves
nor yet sailed away,
as we all prayed.

66
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:19,964
Your army is collected,
Sire, and awaits
your orders.

67
00:06:22,008 --> 00:06:24,469
They expressed
the desire to talk,

68
00:06:26,637 --> 00:06:29,640
so, first, we should talk.

69
00:06:30,725 --> 00:06:32,643
How are we to
trust men like these

70
00:06:32,727 --> 00:06:36,439
who kill without conscience,
who desecrate and
pollute sacred places?

71
00:06:36,522 --> 00:06:38,066
No, we cannot
trust them.

72
00:06:38,149 --> 00:06:41,486
Therefore,
there will be an exchange
of hostages before we begin.

73
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:47,116
And who are we to deliver
into their tender care?

74
00:06:47,992 --> 00:06:50,203
My son, Aethelwulf.

75
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:51,662
Father?

76
00:06:51,746 --> 00:06:54,832
A hostage of
the highest value
is the safest hostage.

77
00:06:55,666 --> 00:06:57,293
But I will not
deliver you to them

78
00:06:57,376 --> 00:06:59,420
until they have
first delivered to me

79
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:01,589
a hostage of equal
value to themselves.

80
00:07:02,131 --> 00:07:05,510
They are savages, heathens.
They do not put
a value on any life.

81
00:07:05,676 --> 00:07:06,677
ECBERT: Oh, I...

82
00:07:07,261 --> 00:07:09,013
I doubt that.

83
00:07:10,056 --> 00:07:14,060
We are Christians,
but not so long ago
we were also pagans.

84
00:07:14,185 --> 00:07:16,437
And when we were pagans,

85
00:07:16,521 --> 00:07:19,357
do you think
we cared nothing
for our families?

86
00:07:19,899 --> 00:07:21,234
Our children?

87
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:25,113
But I swear
to you, my son,

88
00:07:25,196 --> 00:07:29,700
I would never
surrender you without
your blessing and agreement.

89
00:07:31,410 --> 00:07:35,039
Father, you know
the answer to that.

90
00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:37,875
I place myself
in your hands.

91
00:07:38,376 --> 00:07:40,044
I am at your disposal.

Why do you
not go home?

I don't care
about treasure.

You see,
I am really a farmer.

Are you saying that if
I offer you some land,
we could make a deal?

00:14:11,977 --> 00:14:13,521
It's possible.

142
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:18,567
But I would want
something in return.

143

00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:33,202
If you will permit
this man, Athelstan,
to remain with me,

176

the talking.

177

Athelstan is
a free man.

178
00:16:39,291 --> 00:16:40,918
It is his choice.

179
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:45,047
If I can be of
help to King Horik,
then I am happy to stay.

180
00:16:46,256 --> 00:16:48,759
I am surprised to
hear you say that.

181
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:53,472
For you know my family
better than anyone.

182
00:16:55,808 --> 00:16:57,935
You've always
said how important
these contacts are

183
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:00,562
for the future
and prosperity
of all your people.

184
00:17:00,646 --> 00:17:03,190
So is it not
more important for
me to remain here?

185

want to do this?

He will come back to
fight for his lands,
and we must help him.

We can't.

It's not

to restore Ragnar's lands?

But perhaps
enough to torment.

213

We have to make
sure that Jarl Borg

214

never feels secure
in his inheritance.

215

to do with Ragnar.

I don't want to talk

00:34:28,192 --> 00:34:31,112
You questioned
my prophecy, but
here's proof of it.

350
00:34:32,196 --> 00:34:34,907
In your child's eye
is the serpent
my father killed.

351
00:34:37,243 --> 00:34:38,911
It is not a curse.

352
00:34:40,413 --> 00:34:42,039
It is a blessing.

353
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:45,710
The gods have marked
out your brother.

354
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:48,838
He will do great things.

355
00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:56,387
You have made me happy.

356
00:35:12,028 --> 00:35:13,696
Thank you, Helga.

357
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:15,406
(CHUCKLES)

358
00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:17,658
Let's have a child.

359
00:35:19,619 --> 00:35:22,538
If we survive,
let's make a child.

360
00:35:23,372 --> 00:35:24,707
(GIGGLES)

361
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:27,752
I'm serious.

362
00:35:29,545 --> 00:35:31,881
You can't laugh
about everything.

363
00:35:33,549 --> 00:35:35,426
Don't you
want a child?

364
00:35:36,302 --> 00:35:37,470
I do.

365
00:35:43,768 --> 00:35:46,604
I would be worried
that my child would
be like me.

366
00:35:47,939 --> 00:35:49,398
Why would that
worry you?

367
00:35:52,234 --> 00:35:53,819
Oh, sweet Helga,

368
00:35:56,572 --> 00:35:58,658
there are just things
you do not understand.

369
00:36:06,457 --> 00:36:08,417
Let's put them to bed.

370
00:36:08,918 --> 00:36:10,044
Ragnar.

371
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:11,754
(GROANS)

372
00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:55,673
I was afraid that
I would never
see them again.

373
00:36:57,717 --> 00:37:00,052
I always knew
you would find us.

374

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

376
00:37:20,322 --> 00:37:23,826
No, we cannot have sex.
Not for three days.

377
00:37:25,619 --> 00:37:27,329
No more prophecies.

378
00:37:28,998 --> 00:37:31,500
Just want to feel
the warmth of it,

379
00:37:32,168 --> 00:37:33,711
the heat of it.

380
00:37:36,046 --> 00:37:37,506
SIGGY: Rollo is back.

381
00:37:41,218 --> 00:37:42,762
Hello, brother.

382
00:37:43,721 --> 00:37:46,348
Welcome to this
shithole we call home.

383
00:37:48,684 --> 00:37:50,186
Shall we talk?

384
00:37:59,862 --> 00:38:01,947
I want to attack
Kattegat. Now.

385
00:38:02,031 --> 00:38:03,908
I want to
destroy Jarl Borg.

386
00:38:03,991 --> 00:38:07,495
I want to make him suffer
as he has made
my family suffer.

387
00:38:08,913 --> 00:38:11,457
I want to kill
that <i>madr strodinn</i>
with my bare hands.

388
00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:13,709
Then I must be
frank with you,
brother.

389
00:38:13,793 --> 00:38:15,711
I know you lost
boats in the storm,

390
00:38:15,795 --> 00:38:18,464
but it's a pity
you didn't return
with more men.

391
00:38:18,547 --> 00:38:20,674
As it is, we
have no chance of
defeating Jarl Borg,

392
00:38:20,758 --> 00:38:21,884
or regaining Kattegat.

393
00:38:22,009 --> 00:38:23,844
Then we find more men.
There are no
more to find.

394
00:38:23,928 --> 00:38:25,721
Believe me,
I have tried.

395
00:38:26,764 --> 00:38:28,974
And what's more,
is that news of
your arrival

396
00:38:29,058 --> 00:38:31,852
has only made
our discovery
more certain.

397
00:38:32,436 --> 00:38:35,439
Jarl Borg has
placed a fortune
on your head.

398
00:38:58,212 --> 00:39:00,464
BORG: <i>I am happy that
Ragnar Lothbrok has returned.</i>

399
00:39:02,967 --> 00:39:05,427
It will be a pleasure
to fight him.

400
00:39:10,224 --> 00:39:14,478
Yes, Ragnar Lothbrok enjoys
a great reputation
amongst all our people.

401
00:39:16,272 --> 00:39:20,693
He seems already like someone
written about in our stories,
in our sagas.

402
00:39:21,443 --> 00:39:23,946
He's like a great hero
from long ago.

403
00:39:24,655 --> 00:39:28,200
And yet, here he is,

404
00:39:29,702 --> 00:39:33,205
still alive
and not too far away.

405
00:39:34,456 --> 00:39:37,126
Surely the gods
will reward handsomely

406
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:38,586
anyone strong
enough to defeat him.

407
00:39:39,962 --> 00:39:41,964
After all,
they have never
taken kindly

408
00:39:42,089 --> 00:39:44,008
on those who
seek to join them,

409
00:39:44,717 --> 00:39:47,678
pretending in their vanity
to be gods themselves.

410
00:39:51,307 --> 00:39:53,475
Ragnar Lothbrok
is one such,

411
00:39:54,518 --> 00:39:56,770
and his vanity
will kill him.

412
00:40:02,276 --> 00:40:03,360
No.

413
00:40:04,904 --> 00:40:06,405
Not his vanity.

414
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,991
(SHOUTING)
I will kill him.

Must we really
kill this man?

431
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:24,710
He is an apostate.

432
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:27,296
He has denied
our Savior,
Jesus Christ,

433
00:42:27,463 --> 00:42:29,506
and returned to
pagan and evil ways.

434
00:42:29,590 --> 00:42:32,051
He has murdered
good Christians.

435
00:42:32,384 --> 00:42:33,719
I say he should die.

436
00:42:34,011 --> 00:42:36,013
I say he should
be crucified.

cut him down.

Ragnar, they're coming.
Who's coming?

444
00:43:11,965 --> 00:43:14,343
Who do you think?
Jarl Borg and his men.

445

They've come
to finish us off!

446

Hello, Ragnar.

448
00:44:02,724 --> 00:44:04,101
I heard of
your troubles.

449
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,022
I have brought
these warriors
to help you.

450
00:44:16,530 --> 00:44:17,614
And you are?

451
00:44:17,739 --> 00:44:18,824
I'm your...

452
00:44:20,784 --> 00:44:21,910
Father.

453
00:44:23,162 --> 00:44:26,248
I always knew in my heart
that I would see you again.

454
00:44:27,416 --> 00:44:30,586
But I never guessed
it would be in
such circumstances.

455
00:44:32,171 --> 00:44:34,840
Who can guess the plans
and ways of the gods?

456

But now they have contrived
to bring us back together

457
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,970
and I, for one,
am glad for it.

458
00:44:50,397 --> 00:44:51,398
Ha!

459
00:44:53,567 --> 00:44:55,861
I do not need to ask
if you have been fed well.

460
00:44:55,944 --> 00:44:57,613
You have grown
so tall.

461
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:02,784
When this is over,
we shall have
many stories to tell.

462
00:45:04,328 --> 00:45:08,123
You and I, Father, are
bound both by ties of
memory and blood.

463
00:45:15,297 --> 00:45:17,883
It seems your mother
and I have produced

464
00:45:18,008 --> 00:45:20,636
a son that is
both strong and wise.

465
00:45:24,264 --> 00:45:27,768
And if my sister
had lived, she would
have been the same.

466
00:45:28,852 --> 00:45:30,020
Yes.

467
00:45:30,771 --> 00:45:33,941
And you are right
to carry her memory,
as do I.

468
00:45:39,154 --> 00:45:41,114
For a long time,
Father, I feel I have
carried nothing else

469
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:43,200
but memories.

470
00:45:43,909 --> 00:45:46,078
But now, here,
in this place,

471
00:45:47,204 --> 00:45:51,375
with you and
with my mother,
I feel reborn.

472
00:45:52,167 --> 00:45:54,253
As if I have
a life to lead.

473
00:46:02,469 --> 00:46:03,845
Far too long.
