their answer tomorrow.

(SPEAKING IN FRENCH)

367
00:36:57,550 --> 00:36:59,351
Why should we make any
kind of deal with them?

368
00:36:59,427 --> 00:37:00,761
BJORN: We've lost
nearly a thousand men,

369
00:37:00,845 --> 00:37:02,888
we can't breach the city,
and winter is coming.

370
00:37:02,972 --> 00:37:04,473
Do you need
more reasons?

371
00:37:04,932 --> 00:37:08,102
Why do they offer terms, if they are
so sure we can't get into the city?

372
00:37:08,185 --> 00:37:09,812
They have probably
run out of food.

373
00:37:09,895 --> 00:37:11,730
Then we should
let them starve.

374
00:37:11,814 --> 00:37:12,773
BJORN: Ah, then they
will hate us even more.

375
00:37:12,857 --> 00:37:15,526
They will hate us even more
if we continue the siege.

I have something to say.

378
00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:25,578
I did not become earl
because I aspired to be one.

379
00:37:26,704 --> 00:37:29,832
It came about because of
other peoples' actions.

380
00:37:31,792 --> 00:37:34,587
And I did not become
king out of ambition.

381
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:38,424
But once again,
I had no choice,

382
00:37:39,175 --> 00:37:42,636
as a result of other
people's actions.

383
00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:46,223
But nonetheless, I am king.

384
00:37:48,184 --> 00:37:50,102
King Ragnar! Hmm.

385
00:37:50,186 --> 00:37:53,230
That is my name.
King Ragnar!

What does
a king do, Bjorn?

387
00:37:59,862 --> 00:38:01,822
He rules.
LOTHBROK: Yes!

388
00:38:01,947 --> 00:38:04,241
Good. He rules.

389
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:06,535
And as a ruler, I...

390
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:12,750
(SOFTLY)
Have the last say.

391
00:38:12,833 --> 00:38:14,251
Me!

392

had your ideas,

395

all failed!

I will not.
