1
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:26,693
Look.

2
00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:48,923
Have you seen Harald?

3
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:52,177
He slept again in the longhouse
with your parents.

4
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:53,928
[ship horn blows in distance]

5
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:57,056
[excited chatter]

6
00:00:58,224 --> 00:01:00,018
[man] It's the traders. They are coming.

7
00:01:00,101 --> 00:01:01,603
[horn continues blowing]

8
00:01:04,105 --> 00:01:05,398
[woman] It is the traders!

9
00:01:06,316 --> 00:01:07,233
They're back.

10
00:01:08,651 --> 00:01:10,779
[men shouting indistinctly]

11
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:27,629
[Skögul] Akí! Akí!

12
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:29,756
-[Skögul screams]
-What happened?

13
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:32,258
[Hámundr] From an axe.

14
00:01:32,342 --> 00:01:33,510
Someone killed him.

15
00:01:34,385 --> 00:01:35,887
[Gunn] Who would do that?

16
00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:38,223
Who would do that to Akí?

17
00:01:40,683 --> 00:01:41,935
Where is my father?

18
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,482
Welcome. We have so much to trade.

19
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:49,776
Your boats will not be able
to carry it all.

20
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:52,570
Did you kill Akí and steal our boat?

21
00:01:52,654 --> 00:01:54,906
What are you talking about?
I did not kill anyone.

22
00:01:54,989 --> 00:01:56,407
He has been murdered

23
00:01:56,491 --> 00:01:59,494
and no one does anything around here
without your permission.

24
00:02:02,413 --> 00:02:03,873
I demand a Thing.

25
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:09,462
I demand you to be put on trial
for the murder of Akí.

26
00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:13,967
Do not test me, daughter.
I'm the leader here, not you.

27
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:17,387
You are not my leader.

28
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,390
You are just an old man
terrified of the future.

29
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:22,684
-[roars]
-[all exclaim]

30
00:02:26,604 --> 00:02:29,858
It appears my father wants
a trial by combat.

31
00:02:31,609 --> 00:02:33,903
Let the gods decide
which one of us is right.

32
00:02:38,741 --> 00:02:39,826
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

33
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:44,414
I do not wish to kill you, daughter.

34
00:02:46,082 --> 00:02:47,667
Then I will kill you.

35
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:07,186
[Freydis exhales]

36
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:14,903
[both yell]

37
00:03:16,237 --> 00:03:18,156
[both grunting]

38
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:21,159
[Erik yelling]

39
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:26,414
[both panting]

40
00:03:29,292 --> 00:03:31,210
[both grunting]

41
00:03:42,597 --> 00:03:45,475
And now, you will learn a hard lesson.

42
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:48,102
[grunts]

43
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:51,564
[both grunting]

44
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:56,611
The gods have spoken.

45
00:03:56,694 --> 00:03:59,864
Submit to a trial or face death.

46
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:04,369
If you kill me,
you'll never see your son again.

47
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:07,997
What have you done to him?

48
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:10,583
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

49
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:13,002
Answer me. Where is Harald?

50
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:18,216
He is safe. As long as I am safe.

51
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:21,302
You wouldn't hurt him just to punish me.

52
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,476
Of course not.

53
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:35,900
Just the same as your people
do not hurt me.

54
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:41,948
-[grunts]
-[all exclaim]

55
00:04:42,031 --> 00:04:43,032
Take her away!

56
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:46,869
You would be wise to stay out of this.

57
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:48,246
What are you doing?

58
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:51,291
She needs to relearn her place
in this family.

59
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,337
Take her to the storehouse!

60
00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:20,403
There is no golden land.
I know. I have tried to find it.

61
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:25,450
And I tried my best to convince Freydis
of this, but she wouldn't listen.

62
00:05:25,533 --> 00:05:31,664
I took her boats from her
and she still persisted in this myth.

63
00:05:32,915 --> 00:05:36,461
If you had followed her,
you would all be dead.

64
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:43,301
No, Freydis will come around in time
and hopefully you will too.

65
00:05:43,384 --> 00:05:48,514
But... [sighs] if we work together,

66
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:52,310
we can turn Greenland
into the golden land.

67
00:05:53,394 --> 00:05:54,270
Yes?

68
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,149
Yes.

69
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:00,693
You had no reason to kill Akí.

70
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:04,614
Hmm.

71
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:12,705
What is your name, girl?

72
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:14,624
-Hrefna.
-Hrefna.

73
00:06:21,714 --> 00:06:24,467
Hrefna, I know you are confused.

74
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:29,847
But believe me when I tell you
the Greenland winter is coming

75
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:33,643
and it is not like the winters
you knew back home.

76
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:40,358
It is long. It is brutal.
And your tents will not keep you safe.

77
00:06:40,441 --> 00:06:45,530
Your only chance of survival
is to be within these walls.

78
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:47,782
With us.

79
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:59,460
[Erik muttering indistinctly]

80
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:02,088
[door closes]

81
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:22,358
[bishop] Let us pray.

82
00:07:25,361 --> 00:07:28,322
Oh Lord, we thank you
for our safe return to Norway.

83
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:31,868
[all praying softly]

84
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:40,626
Here.

85
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:45,423
My father would have wished
a true Viking to have it.

86
00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:47,091
Thank you, Lord Magnus.

87
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:56,809
-[grunts]
-[speaks Latin]

88
00:07:58,895 --> 00:08:00,980
-[grunting]
-[flesh squelching]

89
00:08:16,412 --> 00:08:20,374
[in English] My father's body.
It is not decomposed.

90
00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:22,919
How can this be?

91
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:29,800
A second miracle has occurred.

92
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,262
Praise be to God.

93
00:08:40,269 --> 00:08:43,606
Surely my father will be sainted now.

94
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:50,988
Come, let us give our thanks
to our Lord Jesus Christ. Come.

95
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:57,620
A miracle.

96
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:04,877
And you were there to witness it.

97
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:35,074
You have grieved long enough.

98
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:37,994
Get out.

99
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:42,623
I have two stories for you.

100
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:45,960
Tell me which one you prefer.

101
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:47,545
I said get out!

102
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:51,424
I am your Empress and you will obey me!

103
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:58,514
In my first story, the Empress grieved
for her beloved Romanos.

104
00:09:59,682 --> 00:10:02,977
Then, to the great joy of her people,

105
00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:07,690
she fell in love
with the most esteemed General Maniakes.

106
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:13,070
They quickly married
and he became Emperor.

107
00:10:13,654 --> 00:10:15,323
That will never happen.

108
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:17,408
He did not love her either at first,

109
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:21,746
but she found so many ways to delight him

110
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:26,500
that, well,
they developed an understanding.

111
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,253
A mythic tale.

112
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:36,385
The second story...

113
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:40,014
I do not like so much.

114
00:10:41,182 --> 00:10:44,518
The Empress was so overcome with grief,

115
00:10:45,978 --> 00:10:48,189
that she took a knife

116
00:10:48,856 --> 00:10:55,529
and drew its blade down the length
of her beautiful arms.

117
00:10:56,822 --> 00:11:00,910
And General Maniakes still became Emperor.

118
00:11:02,912 --> 00:11:05,164
He just found another wife.

119
00:11:10,419 --> 00:11:12,129
[Harald sighs]

120
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:22,473
-[grunts]
-[cawing]

121
00:11:41,325 --> 00:11:42,660
When is my execution?

122
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:45,037
[guard] Tomorrow. Midday.

123
00:11:45,121 --> 00:11:46,914
[footsteps receding]

124
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,793
[wings flapping]

125
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:56,340
[metal creaks]

126
00:11:57,675 --> 00:11:59,718
[caws softly]

127
00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:14,692
You want more?

128
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:16,777
Bring me your friends.

129
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:24,285
{\an8}[people chattering indistinctly]

130
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:33,127
[Svein] My father has told me
about your travels, Leif Eriksson.

131
00:12:33,210 --> 00:12:37,089
Tell me about Constantinople.
Are the walls as great as I have heard?

132
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:40,092
-They're taller than trees.
-[scoffs]

133
00:12:40,176 --> 00:12:43,345
And thick as three boats set end to end.

134
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:46,432
-[exclaims softly]
-[Magnus] King Canute!

135
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:51,353
I prayed fervently
that I would not miss your visit.

136
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:55,608
And God has answered
all your prayers, Magnus.

137
00:12:58,277 --> 00:13:00,196
Magnus is just back from Jomsborg.

138
00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:02,948
How was your mission?

139
00:13:03,032 --> 00:13:06,535
Successful.
I recovered my father's remains

140
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:09,622
and by a miracle of God
his body has not decomposed.

141
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,500
A miracle indeed.

142
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:16,462
I would not have believed it either
had I not seen it with my own eyes,

143
00:13:16,587 --> 00:13:19,131
and it has been confirmed by the Church.

144
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:21,759
You were in Jomsborg?

145
00:13:22,801 --> 00:13:23,636
Yes.

146
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:26,555
[Canute] Leif was just there.

147
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:30,017
To try and find his sister.

148
00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:34,063
-Your sister?
-Freydis Eriksdotter.

149
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,276
Then you saw the devastation.

150
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:43,656
It appears a great plague had ravaged
the place before we arrived.

151
00:13:44,573 --> 00:13:48,410
All we could find was a shrine to her.
You must have seen it.

152
00:13:50,371 --> 00:13:51,539
I saw many things.

153
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:56,752
Including your ship sunk in the harbor.

154
00:14:01,048 --> 00:14:03,592
Destroyed by a landslide
as we were departing.

155
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:06,554
Landslide. Really?

156
00:14:09,515 --> 00:14:10,683
What are the odds?

157
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:14,812
We were most fortunate to have survived.

158
00:14:16,063 --> 00:14:18,023
I truly believe it was the hand of God.

159
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:22,528
Indeed.

160
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:35,332
Hilde, I must help Freydis.

161
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:37,251
If you try, he will kill you.

162
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:40,754
Let me worry about that.
Just tell me where he has taken Harald.

163
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:41,755
I do not know.

164
00:14:49,096 --> 00:14:50,180
I think you do.

165
00:14:57,396 --> 00:15:01,442
Lang returned today with goods
from the Kalaallit people in the North.

166
00:15:01,525 --> 00:15:03,444
They are good people.

167
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:07,781
If Erik left Harald with them,
he will be taken care of.

168
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:09,116
How do I get there?

169
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:11,535
By boat, it is at least a week's journey.

170
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:14,330
-And on foot?
-It is much longer.

171
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:16,498
You must cross the mountains.

172
00:15:20,544 --> 00:15:22,630
I need to see Freydis before I go.

173
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:45,277
You will pay for this, Father.

174
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:54,161
I called a meeting of your people.

175
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,374
I told them what will happen
when the cold winds blow

176
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:03,671
and I made it clear what will happen
if they choose to fight against me.

177
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,299
They have agreed to follow me.

178
00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:08,801
You gave them no choice.

179
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,095
Because you gave me no choice.

180
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:18,394
You say you're following a vision.

181
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:21,188
Well, I'm following mine.

182
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,986
I prayed for salvation.

183
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,739
And the gods sent me you.

184
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:42,418
Leif used to say, "You created this prison
for yourself because of your actions."

185
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:46,505
Now I see he is right.

186
00:16:57,266 --> 00:17:00,519
It will grow cold tonight, daughter.

187
00:17:01,228 --> 00:17:03,355
It is a lot warmer in the longhouse.

188
00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:06,442
I have been cold before.
You will never break me.

189
00:17:06,525 --> 00:17:08,694
I do not need to break you.

190
00:17:11,655 --> 00:17:12,948
Just your followers.

191
00:17:20,914 --> 00:17:23,292
[audience laughing]

192
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:27,463
[flute music playing]

193
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,382
-[puppet neighs]
-[all laughing]

194
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:33,469
[puppet Canute] I demand
you come out and fight.

195
00:17:33,552 --> 00:17:34,845
[puppet Edmund] Archers!

196
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:38,223
-[puppet 3 exclaims]
-[puppet Canute laughs evilly]

197
00:17:38,849 --> 00:17:40,768
[flute music continues]

198
00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:45,981
[puppeteer imitating wood creaking]

199
00:17:46,815 --> 00:17:48,859
[all cheering]

200
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:51,361
[yelling and cheering]

201
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:53,614
[people chuckling]

202
00:17:53,697 --> 00:17:56,950
[puppets] All hail, Canute.
The new King of England.

203
00:17:57,451 --> 00:18:00,329
[audience laughing and cheering]

204
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:07,795
[puppet Canute] Emma of Normandy.
Be my wife, help me rule the North.

205
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:11,256
[puppet Emma] Yes, my king.

206
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,762
[audience exclaiming and chuckling]

207
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:21,600
-[puppet Emma yelps]
-[all laughing]

208
00:18:25,687 --> 00:18:26,980
[bell chiming]

209
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:31,401
-[puppet chanting in Latin]
-[audience laughs]

210
00:18:34,655 --> 00:18:39,993
[in English] I am His Holiness the Pope,
God's most esteemed messenger on Earth.

211
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:42,579
And, uh, who are you?

212
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:47,543
[puppet Canute] I am Canute the Great.
King of the Northern Empire.

213
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,253
[gasps] Oh!

214
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:51,255
[audience cheering and laughing]

215
00:18:51,338 --> 00:18:53,132
[puppet Pope sputtering] The power!

216
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:02,599
[puppet Canute] Is there somebody here
who has betrayed me?

217
00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:04,935
Because this feast is not over

218
00:19:05,018 --> 00:19:07,563
until I have chopped off
at least one head.

219
00:19:07,688 --> 00:19:09,815
[all laughing]

220
00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:18,240
-[puppeteer chuckles awkwardly]
-[audience laughs]

221
00:19:27,291 --> 00:19:29,084
[people murmuring]

222
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:37,801
As someone who is considering
converting to your faith,

223
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,263
I would find it inspirational

224
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:44,349
if I could witness
your father's miracle myself.

225
00:19:45,225 --> 00:19:48,020
Would you mind if I see Olaf's body?

226
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:51,023
Not at all.

227
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:55,027
Bishop Grimketel can arrange that.

228
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:58,572
No. I'm afraid it is not possible.

229
00:19:59,406 --> 00:20:01,575
Olaf's body is now considered sacred.

230
00:20:02,659 --> 00:20:03,911
During his beatification,

231
00:20:03,994 --> 00:20:06,622
it must only be tended to
by the most reverent nuns

232
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:09,374
and protected until we receive
confirmation from Rome

233
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:10,834
of Olaf's canonization.

234
00:20:10,918 --> 00:20:12,252
Hmm.

235
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:13,295
Rules.

236
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:19,843
Family. Friends.

237
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:24,181
Thank you for joining me here in Kattegat,

238
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:29,019
under this roof where so many great things
have happened for me.

239
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:31,480
For our people.

240
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:34,733
And perhaps, for one of you.

241
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:38,487
Is that not why you are here?

242
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,908
To learn if your destiny
has a throne in it.

243
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:52,459
Prince Edward and Prince Alfred,
sons of Æthelred and Emma.

244
00:20:55,003 --> 00:20:57,297
And Svein, already a king.

245
00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:05,597
And Harefoot, chomping at the bit.

246
00:21:07,182 --> 00:21:12,020
Willing to slay a thousand Wends
to prove that he is ready to wear a crown.

247
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,195
Am I forgetting someone?

248
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:22,864
-Harthacanute.
-Oh.

249
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:26,368
Of course...

250
00:21:28,245 --> 00:21:29,329
Harthacanute.

251
00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:34,960
You too have a seat
at this table of princes.

252
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:37,045
King-to-be.

253
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:39,965
Or maybe not.

254
00:21:43,552 --> 00:21:44,386
Leif Eriksson.

255
00:21:45,762 --> 00:21:50,851
You have been to many places,
the Rus, Egypt, Constantinople, Sicily.

256
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:56,732
And you have met
with many powerful rulers, have you not?

257
00:21:57,482 --> 00:21:58,525
One or two.

258
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:03,864
Tell me, in all your experience
what makes a king successful?

259
00:22:04,948 --> 00:22:05,782
Strength.

260
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,077
Two types of strength.

261
00:22:09,911 --> 00:22:12,164
Two types. Tell us.

262
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:15,375
Strength of mind. Intelligence.

263
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:18,712
[Canute] Intelligence. Interesting.

264
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:22,924
Edward, stand before your king.

265
00:22:30,974 --> 00:22:32,684
Your father was a great king.

266
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:37,981
And your mother, we know,
a great queen twice over.

267
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:40,442
Do you agree with Leif...

268
00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:44,446
that intelligence is an important quality
in a king?

269
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:48,408
I do, Your Highness.
The most important quality.

270
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:53,872
And do you believe that you would make
a great king of England?

271
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:57,584
-I would make an excellent king, my lord.
-[Harefoot sighs]

272
00:22:57,667 --> 00:22:58,668
[Canute] But wait.

273
00:22:59,503 --> 00:23:02,506
Leif, you said
there were two types of strength.

274
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:04,466
What is the second?

275
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:07,469
Physical strength.

276
00:23:09,596 --> 00:23:11,848
The power to defend your position.

277
00:23:14,601 --> 00:23:15,560
And your words.

278
00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:19,773
And who here possesses that strength?

279
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:21,691
I can answer that for you, Father.

280
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:32,369
There is no prince in this room
physically stronger than me.

281
00:23:34,121 --> 00:23:34,955
I agree.

282
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:41,294
But Leif, which of these two strengths
is more important?

283
00:23:42,295 --> 00:23:43,547
That depends.

284
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:44,798
On what?

285
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:47,342
The person.

286
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:50,428
Interesting.

287
00:23:53,515 --> 00:23:57,310
Then let us decide
who has the real strength

288
00:23:58,061 --> 00:24:01,356
to become ruler of England.

289
00:24:03,191 --> 00:24:05,026
[all exclaiming]

290
00:24:09,322 --> 00:24:11,199
You must stop this.

291
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:15,412
-[yells]
-And who will stop this when I am gone?

292
00:24:15,495 --> 00:24:17,330
[both grunting]

293
00:24:21,001 --> 00:24:22,252
[all gasping]

294
00:24:24,045 --> 00:24:25,046
[Emma] No!

295
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:28,175
[Harefoot panting]

296
00:24:37,475 --> 00:24:40,270
I think it is obvious
who the next King of England should be.

297
00:24:41,646 --> 00:24:43,607
It is me.

298
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:47,110
[all chuckling]

299
00:24:47,736 --> 00:24:49,571
I will be the next King of England.

300
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:52,240
Is that so, my youngest son?

301
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:53,533
It is.

302
00:24:53,617 --> 00:24:55,452
So you would kill us all, little brother?

303
00:24:55,535 --> 00:25:00,081
No. Svein has no interest in England,
so I'd leave him in Norway.

304
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,500
-[Aelfgifu chuckles]
-Thank you, Your Highness.

305
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:06,463
[Harthacanute] Next, I'd let you kill
both Edward and Alfred,

306
00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:10,091
for left to their own devices
they are extremely dangerous.

307
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:14,888
And after I have done you this service,
what is to stop me from killing you?

308
00:25:14,971 --> 00:25:16,806
Do you want to try and find out?

309
00:25:20,602 --> 00:25:23,980
My huscarls are the strongest Vikings
in the world.

310
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:26,691
That is why I will be King of England.

311
00:25:26,775 --> 00:25:27,651
[all chuckle]

312
00:25:27,734 --> 00:25:29,778
[Harthacanute] Now I'm tired of this game.

313
00:25:30,528 --> 00:25:33,073
Do you think it is a game, Harthacanute?

314
00:25:33,156 --> 00:25:36,576
Of course it is, Father.
We already have a king... you.

315
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:39,246
[Leif] To Canute the Great.

316
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:43,625
The first Viking king of England.

317
00:25:44,501 --> 00:25:47,420
[all] To Canute the Great! <i>Skol!</i>

318
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:51,925
Thank you.

319
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:57,722
But I will not live forever.

320
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:02,519
Therefore, this is my command.

321
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:10,568
Harthacanute, you will go to Denmark,
where you will become its king.

322
00:26:12,654 --> 00:26:15,573
Prince Edward and Alfred,
you will return to Normandy

323
00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:17,784
to continue your work there.

324
00:26:19,536 --> 00:26:20,745
And Harefoot...

325
00:26:21,705 --> 00:26:26,543
you will become
Harthacanute's regent in Denmark.

326
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:30,338
His guardian?

327
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:31,339
Yes.

328
00:26:35,677 --> 00:26:37,304
And what about England?

329
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:43,435
There will be no King of England.

330
00:26:43,518 --> 00:26:47,480
[all murmuring]

331
00:26:53,486 --> 00:26:55,864
It will be ruled by a queen.

332
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:04,247
All hail Queen Emma.

333
00:27:04,331 --> 00:27:06,166
All hail Queen Emma.

334
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:07,500
[all repeating]

335
00:27:12,088 --> 00:27:13,340
Queen Emma.

336
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:17,969
[Harald grunting]

337
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,950
[wings flapping]

338
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:45,121
[crows cawing]

339
00:27:57,384 --> 00:27:58,385
No fighting.

340
00:27:59,386 --> 00:28:00,637
There's plenty for all.

341
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:24,452
[cawing continues]

342
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:16,671
[guard 1] What news?

343
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:19,674
[guard 2] We have a new emperor.

344
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,719
General Maniakes has married
the Empress Zoe.

345
00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:29,225
Sleep well.

346
00:29:31,478 --> 00:29:32,896
We have a big day ahead.

347
00:29:37,901 --> 00:29:40,236
[trader] We can now get
the same ornaments and skins

348
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,571
from other settlements,

349
00:29:41,654 --> 00:29:42,989
closer to Iceland.

350
00:29:44,574 --> 00:29:45,867
If you have nothing to trade,

351
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,411
there is no reason
to come all this way anymore.

352
00:29:48,495 --> 00:29:52,207
I have been keeping this until last.

353
00:30:00,089 --> 00:30:03,343
Now here is a reason to come back again.

354
00:30:11,518 --> 00:30:12,811
This is impressive.

355
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:15,855
Where did you get it?

356
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:19,067
People who make these swords
live with me now.

357
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,986
And we will be making
many more of those in the future.

358
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:37,710
Lang. Erik says to get a drink.

359
00:30:48,555 --> 00:30:49,806
Freydis.

360
00:30:49,889 --> 00:30:51,266
Stígr.

361
00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:53,726
Have you found Harald?

362
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:57,021
Mother believes
he's with the Kalaallit people.

363
00:31:00,733 --> 00:31:03,194
They will be traveling
to their winter home soon.

364
00:31:03,278 --> 00:31:05,071
I need to get out and find him.

365
00:31:05,154 --> 00:31:08,658
Freydis, even if you could reach him
and get back safely,

366
00:31:08,741 --> 00:31:09,993
we'd still be prisoners.

367
00:31:10,076 --> 00:31:11,578
I am his mother.

368
00:31:13,162 --> 00:31:15,373
I can find Harald.
But only you can free us.

369
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:19,294
[breath trembling]

370
00:31:22,088 --> 00:31:23,548
When are the traders leaving?

371
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:24,841
[Stígr] In the morning.

372
00:31:26,801 --> 00:31:27,886
Find my son.

373
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:31,848
I will find us a boat and a new captain.

374
00:31:46,779 --> 00:31:49,198
[lock clicks]

375
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:58,249
Go. Do what you must for your people.

376
00:32:00,501 --> 00:32:02,045
-Mother! [sobbing]
-[cries softly]

377
00:32:38,998 --> 00:32:39,999
Where were you?

378
00:32:43,086 --> 00:32:44,170
I was not invited.

379
00:32:47,674 --> 00:32:49,759
He made the boy child King of Denmark.

380
00:32:52,178 --> 00:32:54,889
And me? Nothing but a servant.

381
00:32:59,018 --> 00:33:01,187
There's much to learn from the boy child.

382
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:04,357
For a start he does not throw tantrums.

383
00:33:06,401 --> 00:33:08,695
He also made Emma ruler of England.

384
00:33:08,778 --> 00:33:09,946
Hmm.

385
00:33:11,072 --> 00:33:12,073
It's not surprising.

386
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:17,829
And that does not upset you?

387
00:33:18,621 --> 00:33:20,957
If I were to let
every small thing upset me,

388
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,086
I would not have accomplished
all that I have.

389
00:33:29,882 --> 00:33:32,051
[sighs] There are always advantages...

390
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:36,764
to any situation
if you keep your wits about you.

391
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:40,393
Such as?

392
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:42,854
No.

393
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,481
You tell me.

394
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:01,372
My rivals for the throne will be
in Denmark and Normandy.

395
00:34:01,456 --> 00:34:02,874
Mmm-hmm.

396
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:06,711
What else?

397
00:34:09,964 --> 00:34:11,174
After Canute dies...

398
00:34:13,968 --> 00:34:16,054
what he wants becomes irrelevant.

399
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:21,976
Isn't that a better feeling
than throwing a plate of food?

400
00:34:23,227 --> 00:34:24,520
[chuckles]

401
00:34:34,739 --> 00:34:36,240
[exclaims softly]

402
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:37,825
Who's there?

403
00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:40,495
Can't sleep?

404
00:34:42,872 --> 00:34:44,123
Me neither.

405
00:34:49,962 --> 00:34:52,590
I keep thinking about the rocks
that destroyed your ship.

406
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:57,178
Didn't look like the hand of God to me.

407
00:34:58,596 --> 00:35:00,848
It looked more like the hand of my sister.

408
00:35:13,194 --> 00:35:19,033
It also... didn't look like
there'd been a plague.

409
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:23,746
It looked like there'd been a fight.

410
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:29,836
-Tell me.
-[blade scrapes]

411
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:33,798
What did you see?

412
00:35:35,591 --> 00:35:37,885
[hesitating] I... I saw...

413
00:35:39,637 --> 00:35:40,763
[sighs]

414
00:35:41,597 --> 00:35:46,018
He is the devil. Magnus.
Evil runs through his veins.

415
00:35:46,686 --> 00:35:48,396
It is not his father we brought back.

416
00:35:48,938 --> 00:35:52,692
And it was not a plague as he said.
He poisoned them.

417
00:35:53,651 --> 00:35:56,487
Only a few survived and they escaped
on one of our ships.

418
00:35:58,197 --> 00:35:59,031
Freydis...

419
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:03,202
Was she one of them?

420
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:09,375
I never saw her. Only her grave.

421
00:36:12,378 --> 00:36:13,880
So Magnus poisoned her.

422
00:36:16,799 --> 00:36:17,633
Yes.

423
00:36:26,934 --> 00:36:30,188
He has already left. After the feast.

424
00:36:32,231 --> 00:36:33,065
Where?

425
00:36:34,984 --> 00:36:38,529
To the North.
To gather the support of the Jarls.

426
00:36:44,952 --> 00:36:47,413
[crowds chattering indistinctly]

427
00:36:58,090 --> 00:36:59,842
[men muttering indistinctly]

428
00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:10,061
Safe travels, Father.

429
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:19,320
I still cannot believe
you're sending me to babysit.

430
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:23,241
You have much to learn
about ruling a country.

431
00:37:24,951 --> 00:37:27,703
Being regent will give you
that opportunity.

432
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:31,123
I understand.

433
00:37:45,304 --> 00:37:46,389
Goodbye, Canute.

434
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:52,853
I am under no illusion who has been
ruling Norway all these years.

435
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:57,733
You're free to return to Mercia
if you wish.

436
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:02,905
Thank you, but I have made this my home.

437
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:05,533
And I have reasons to remain.

438
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:11,956
Good reasons.

439
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:28,514
-[Emma] Alfred.
-Mother.

440
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:42,695
I can't believe he's sending me
back to Normandy.

441
00:38:44,655 --> 00:38:47,908
He's not sending you back. I am.

442
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:50,536
You're not ready.

443
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:56,083
Your time is coming, but it is not now.

444
00:38:57,376 --> 00:38:58,336
You must trust me.

445
00:39:01,213 --> 00:39:05,009
When I gave birth to you,
there were already several

446
00:39:05,092 --> 00:39:07,345
of Æthelred's sons
ahead of you for the crown.

447
00:39:09,388 --> 00:39:14,060
But when I held you in my arms,
I knew you would be King.

448
00:39:15,811 --> 00:39:16,729
I still do.

449
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:23,361
I brought this from Rome for you.

450
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:28,574
Inside is a piece of wood
from the cross that Jesus died on.

451
00:39:30,326 --> 00:39:33,162
I'm giving it to you with my solemn oath.

452
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:36,832
One day you will be King of England.

453
00:39:38,084 --> 00:39:39,585
You must be ready for it.

454
00:39:53,182 --> 00:39:55,935
-[Harthacanute] Mother.
-[Emma chuckles]

455
00:40:01,273 --> 00:40:03,150
[sighs] Answer me truthfully.

456
00:40:04,026 --> 00:40:05,528
-Will you miss me?
-No.

457
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:08,489
No. Why not?

458
00:40:08,572 --> 00:40:10,449
Because when I want to be with you

459
00:40:10,533 --> 00:40:13,285
all I have to do is shut my eyes
and feel you in my heart.

460
00:40:23,129 --> 00:40:23,963
Go.

461
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:30,636
Please take care of my son.

462
00:40:31,178 --> 00:40:32,847
I will let no harm come to him.

463
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:35,933
Thank you, Harefoot.

464
00:40:41,897 --> 00:40:44,150
[indistinct chatter]

465
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:53,409
[men chattering indistinctly]

466
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:58,414
[Godwin] Queen Aelfgifu.

467
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:05,254
A word of warning.

468
00:41:05,337 --> 00:41:10,384
I know. Magnus. I'm fully aware
of the threat on my doorstep.

469
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,345
We would have made a good team.

470
00:41:14,138 --> 00:41:16,891
No, we would have devoured each other.

471
00:41:17,892 --> 00:41:19,226
[chuckles]

472
00:41:28,652 --> 00:41:29,987
Thank you, Queen Aelfgifu.

473
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:33,782
You future is about to become
very difficult.

474
00:41:34,742 --> 00:41:37,286
I pray you have the strength to handle it.

475
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:40,164
So do I.

476
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:50,925
[man] My queen.

477
00:42:34,969 --> 00:42:37,304
[Harald sighs deeply]

478
00:42:57,491 --> 00:42:58,867
All right, my friends.

479
00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:05,749
Where do you go
when you've lost everything?

480
00:43:09,795 --> 00:43:10,963
You go back home.

481
00:43:30,024 --> 00:43:32,776
-Until the next summer, my friend.
-[trader 1] Thank you.

482
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:36,238
Erik.

483
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:39,408
-[trader 2] Keep well.
-Goodbye.

484
00:43:50,377 --> 00:43:51,378
Daughter!

485
00:43:54,757 --> 00:43:56,634
How was your first night in the cold?

486
00:44:07,853 --> 00:44:12,191
Husband, you are needed in the house.

487
00:44:20,282 --> 00:44:21,283
Take this.

488
00:44:37,591 --> 00:44:38,801
Do you know who I am?

489
00:44:42,304 --> 00:44:45,599
I will be going with you to Kattegat,
do you have a problem with that?

490
00:44:47,017 --> 00:44:47,851
No.

491
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:51,021
Good.

492
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:29,560
Move!

493
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:57,421
Emperor Maniakes.

494
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:21,612
[people murmuring in Greek]

495
00:46:21,695 --> 00:46:25,282
[people exclaiming]

496
00:46:33,248 --> 00:46:37,503
-[woman 1, in English] Fire!
-[woman 2] Quickly, go! This way.

497
00:46:37,586 --> 00:46:40,506
[people panicking in the distance]

498
00:46:51,558 --> 00:46:53,018
[roars]

499
00:46:53,101 --> 00:46:55,562
-[grunts]
-[yells]

500
00:46:58,857 --> 00:47:00,984
[grunts and yells]

501
00:47:04,738 --> 00:47:06,406
[panting]

502
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:17,793
The prisoner has escaped.
Emperor, Harald has escaped.

503
00:47:22,089 --> 00:47:24,258
[Harald] Maniakes!

504
00:47:27,427 --> 00:47:28,845
Murderer!

505
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:30,847
No!

506
00:47:31,932 --> 00:47:34,226
Come face your executioner.

507
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:36,019
Leave him for me.

508
00:47:43,860 --> 00:47:45,988
[Harald yells]

509
00:47:46,947 --> 00:47:49,283
[both grunting]

510
00:48:17,811 --> 00:48:19,688
[both grunting]

511
00:48:31,283 --> 00:48:33,035
[yells]

512
00:48:37,831 --> 00:48:39,875
[both yelling]

513
00:48:45,797 --> 00:48:48,216
[breathing heavily]
