I cannot allow you to go
on your own to Kattegat.

Your father would never tolerate such a thing.

Forgive me, but I think
that he likes to rule you.

And that whatever he says,

he considers himself to be first among equals.

00:28:05,101 --> 00:28:06,352
Am I correct?
296
00:28:08,938 --> 00:28:10,607
I get the impression
that he wants

for everything.

Of course not.

I, on the other hand,
can give you a great deal.
310
00:29:06,329 --> 00:29:09,249
I could, for example,
confiscate the treasure
311
00:29:09,332 --> 00:29:11,834
that you brought
back from England.
312
00:29:12,085 --> 00:29:14,170
And offer you
a goodly portion of it.

Would you do that, Lord?
314
00:29:20,134 --> 00:29:21,344
I might.

00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,098

You want to be someone, Rollo.
320
00:29:31,938 --> 00:29:34,274
You want the gods
to notice you, yes?
321
00:29:35,608 --> 00:29:36,776
They would have
noticed me already.

00:29:36,859 --> 00:29:39,362
Oh, no, my friend.
And do you know why?
323
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:43,825
Because you still walk in the shadow of Ragnar Lothbrok.
324
00:29:44,075 --> 00:29:46,411
Don't you think it's time
you stepped out from it,
325
00:29:46,661 --> 00:29:49,289
and let the gods see you
for who you really are?

She is soon to get married,
330
00:30:10,685 --> 00:30:14,230
and I must think very carefully about her future husband.
331
00:30:15,857 --> 00:30:18,484
He must be a man of ambition and prospect,
332
00:30:18,568 --> 00:30:19,819
as you can understand.
333
00:30:22,322 --> 00:30:25,241
I used to have two boys,
but they were killed.

00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:30,413
So the man that I choose
to be my son-in-law

will hold a high
and special place,
336
00:30:35,043 --> 00:30:37,337
as if he were my own son.
337
00:30:41,090 --> 00:30:43,551
Thyri, say hello to Rollo.

He is the brother
of Ragnar Lothbrok.

00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:06,491

are a great warrior.

It's all right, boy.

We are all aware of the sacred nature of our duty here.

of Knut, my brother.
357
00:32:25,111 --> 00:32:26,696
Knut, as some of you may know,
358
00:32:27,405 --> 00:32:30,158
was the bastard son
of my father.
359
00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:34,454
But I loved him
360
00:32:35,705 --> 00:32:37,290
like a brother.
361
00:32:38,666 --> 00:32:40,042
I asked Knut
362
00:32:40,126 --> 00:32:42,545
to go with Ragnar Lothbrok to England,
363
00:32:42,712 --> 00:32:46,299
where they raided a town and brought back many spoils.
364
00:32:47,091 --> 00:32:49,343
And while they were
raiding this town,
365
00:32:49,635 --> 00:32:51,804
Ragnar Lothbrok
took it upon himself
366
00:32:53,473 --> 00:32:56,893
to cold-bloodedly
kill my brother.
367
00:32:58,436 --> 00:33:01,898
It's easy to imagine why a man like this
would do such a thing.
