1
00:00:01,169 --> 00:00:03,088
(IF I HAD A HEART PLAYING)
2
00:00:52,303 --> 00:00:54,973
Tell me what
it is you want.
3
00:00:55,807 --> 00:00:57,892
Are you unhappy?
4
00:00:58,476 --> 00:01:00,270
Do you think the gods
have cheated you?
5
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:11,239
I want my old
position back.
6
00:01:11,698 --> 00:01:13,992
I was never meant
to be a servant,
7
00:01:15,076 --> 00:01:16,995
a slave, a friend.
8
00:01:19,456 --> 00:01:22,208
I am bitter
and I am angry.
9
00:01:22,292 --> 00:01:25,170
Everything I had,
everything I possessed,
10
00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:27,589
everything that
I was
11
00:01:27,672 --> 00:01:29,048
has been stripped
away from me.
12
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:36,097
And my anger is
like a stone...
13
00:01:41,019 --> 00:01:45,064
A stone that I carry
inside me that...
14
00:01:45,148 --> 00:01:46,191
Weighs me down.
15
00:01:49,235 --> 00:01:50,779
I cannot lift it.
16
00:01:50,862 --> 00:01:52,405
In some ways,
you are still fortunate.
17
00:01:54,407 --> 00:01:55,992
Ragnar could
have had you killed
18
00:01:56,075 --> 00:01:57,619
at the same time
as your husband.
19
00:01:57,702 --> 00:02:01,706
I am supposed to be
eternally grateful
to my husband's killer?
20
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:04,959
I ask you once more
why you have come here
21
00:02:05,668 --> 00:02:08,046
if you do not think I can
offer you any comfort.
22
00:02:10,048 --> 00:02:11,591
I want to know,
23
00:02:15,053 --> 00:02:18,473
will the gods ever
smile on me again?
24
00:02:19,849 --> 00:02:23,311
The gods will always
smile on brave women,
25
00:02:23,937 --> 00:02:26,439
like the Valkyries,
26
00:02:26,564 --> 00:02:31,069
those furies who
men fear and desire.
27
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:19,284
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
28
00:03:24,122 --> 00:03:27,166
You'll have to forgive
the poverty of the feast.
29
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:30,795
It has been a hard winter.
30
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:32,755
We had to burn
our own grain stores
31
00:03:32,839 --> 00:03:34,632
to rid ourselves
of Jarl Borg.
32
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:36,467
So I heard.
33
00:03:39,012 --> 00:03:40,597
Tell us, Erlendur,
34
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600
what happened in
England after we left?
35
00:03:47,103 --> 00:03:48,855
We were betrayed
by King Ecbert.
36
00:03:49,355 --> 00:03:50,648
We made contact and
37
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:54,777
your Christian friend
Athelstan arranged for
further talks, or so he said.
38
00:03:56,112 --> 00:03:58,740
In retrospect, I wonder
who's side he was really on.
39
00:04:00,325 --> 00:04:01,993
In any case,
the trickster was at work.
40
00:04:03,328 --> 00:04:05,496
Ecbert never meant to
honor his promises to you.
41
00:04:06,706 --> 00:04:09,167
We were betrayed,
taken by surprise.
42
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:11,294
There was
a great slaughter.
43
00:04:11,377 --> 00:04:13,922
Erlendur and I barely
escaped with our lives.
44
00:04:14,005 --> 00:04:15,673
What about Athelstan?
45
00:04:16,841 --> 00:04:18,468
Where is he now?
46
00:04:18,551 --> 00:04:20,386
If he is fortunate,
he died in battle.
47
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:24,223
In any case,
let's not speak of him.
48
00:04:25,141 --> 00:04:27,685
He was a
worthless individual.
49
00:04:29,729 --> 00:04:32,190
Poor Athelstan.
50
00:04:32,273 --> 00:04:34,734
My sister and I grew
to love him when
we were children.
51
00:04:35,318 --> 00:04:37,195
FLOKI: He fooled you,
young Bjorn.
52
00:04:38,655 --> 00:04:40,865
He never denounced his
Christian God.
53
00:04:41,866 --> 00:04:43,868
He was our enemy.
54
00:04:45,161 --> 00:04:47,956
We should rejoice
at his death.
55
00:04:49,248 --> 00:04:54,295
So... What do you
intend on doing now?
56
00:04:54,963 --> 00:04:57,799
What do you think, Ragnar?
57
00:04:57,882 --> 00:05:00,885
I intend on gaining
revenge on King Ecbert.
58
00:05:01,678 --> 00:05:03,388
We should plan a raid
as soon as possible.
59
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,808
ROLLO: I would be very
happy to take part in it.
60
00:05:07,558 --> 00:05:09,227
King Ecbert should
certainly be punished.
61
00:05:11,562 --> 00:05:13,690
I agree.
62
00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:15,108
We should return
to Wessex.
63
00:05:17,193 --> 00:05:19,654
But first,
Jarl Borg must
pay the price
64
00:05:19,737 --> 00:05:23,157
for what he did to my
family and to our people.
65
00:05:26,494 --> 00:05:27,495
(GASPS)
66
00:05:29,288 --> 00:05:30,331
Forgive me, master.
67
00:05:30,915 --> 00:05:32,417
No, it doesn't matter.
68
00:05:34,252 --> 00:05:35,503
HORIK: I understand,
completely,
69
00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:37,672
and if I were you,
I would feel the same way.
70
00:05:37,755 --> 00:05:41,592
But we must
remember our agreement
and what it was for.
71
00:05:42,468 --> 00:05:48,599
We would sail west to
raid and to colonize.
That was your dream, Ragnar,
72
00:05:49,767 --> 00:05:52,103
and I have come
to share it.
73
00:05:52,562 --> 00:05:56,274
But now we have neither
the men nor the ships
74
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:58,443
to realize our dreams.
75
00:06:00,111 --> 00:06:01,362
What are you saying?
76
00:06:01,446 --> 00:06:03,990
I think we should
go back to Jarl Borg.
77
00:06:04,073 --> 00:06:06,909
He is licking his wounds.
He is no longer as
strong as he was.
78
00:06:06,993 --> 00:06:11,080
And, yet, we need him.
79
00:06:11,164 --> 00:06:14,375
We cannot go west
without his ships.
80
00:06:14,459 --> 00:06:16,210
And so, once again,
81
00:06:16,294 --> 00:06:19,005
we should ask him
to join our alliance.
82
00:06:24,427 --> 00:06:28,347
Don't listen to him.
83
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:30,892
But who should
go to Jarl Borg?
84
00:06:30,975 --> 00:06:34,020
I think it should
be you, Rollo.
85
00:06:34,145 --> 00:06:37,940
After all, you know
him better than anyone.
86
00:06:39,859 --> 00:06:40,943
What do you think?
87
00:06:49,619 --> 00:06:51,204
Farewell, my love.
88
00:06:51,329 --> 00:06:54,415
I will pray to Thor
that he grant
you safe passage.
89
00:06:54,499 --> 00:06:55,708
MAN: Throw that.
90
00:06:58,336 --> 00:07:01,839
May you have success, Rollo,
for the sake of all of us.
91
00:07:02,298 --> 00:07:03,716
MAN: Man your stations.
92
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,176
MAN 2: Stores aboard.
93
00:07:14,185 --> 00:07:16,104
MAN 3: All the men aboard!
94
00:07:16,187 --> 00:07:18,397
Rollo.
95
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,108
MAN: Try the sail then.
96
00:07:20,191 --> 00:07:21,400
I, too, wish you well.
97
00:07:23,236 --> 00:07:25,446
Those words mean
a lot coming from you.
98
00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:26,697
They were hard to say.
99
00:07:27,824 --> 00:07:29,242
Now they are said.
100
00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:37,041
Cast away!
101
00:07:37,125 --> 00:07:38,459
MAN: Ready the oars!
102
00:08:06,612 --> 00:08:10,199
It has an unusual
taste, wine.
103
00:08:10,283 --> 00:08:13,077
But then, you're
an unusual woman, Siggy.
104
00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:17,957
You don't like wine?
105
00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:19,917
It's horrible.
106
00:08:20,084 --> 00:08:22,253
The finer things in life
are an acquired taste.
107
00:08:23,421 --> 00:08:25,464
I hope you do not
mind I brought my
son with me?
108
00:08:27,091 --> 00:08:30,720
I want him to start to
understand the game.
109
00:08:31,679 --> 00:08:32,722
The game?
110
00:08:32,805 --> 00:08:34,432
The game you and I play.
111
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,811
The game Ragnar
tries to play.
112
00:08:40,938 --> 00:08:42,773
Are you sure
it is a game?
113
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:48,279
Why do you invite
me to your bed?
114
00:08:49,989 --> 00:08:52,617
Why do you tell me
things about Ragnar?
115
00:08:57,622 --> 00:09:01,584
Everything I do,
I do for Rollo.
116
00:09:04,587 --> 00:09:06,297
And not for yourself?
117
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:09,091
If Rollo rises,
I rise also.
118
00:09:11,302 --> 00:09:12,845
And you need my help.
119
00:09:13,054 --> 00:09:14,055
(CHUCKLING)
120
00:09:14,805 --> 00:09:16,307
Well, what do you think,
121
00:09:17,433 --> 00:09:18,434
King Horik?
122
00:09:19,936 --> 00:09:21,938
And what would you do,
Siggy,
123
00:09:23,147 --> 00:09:25,524
for my continued
and active support?
124

(LAUGHING)
125
00:09:29,904 --> 00:09:32,240
My son is ignorant
of the game

and strangely ignorant
of other things as well.
127

He's only been
with a few women,
and they were nothing...

Slaves, girls.
129
00:09:44,627 --> 00:09:48,172
I want him to
enjoy the attentions
130
00:09:48,256 --> 00:09:52,093
of an experienced,
free woman.

There shall the gods
in innocence dwell,

Why don't we have poets
here anymore?

Poets to entertain us.
140
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:46,957
Sing to us.
141
00:11:47,041 --> 00:11:49,210
Make us laugh.
142
00:11:49,794 --> 00:11:53,297
I remember when
this great hall
was always full of laughter.
143
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:58,969
Laughter and good
fellowship.
144
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,139

it in her eyes.

(SCATTERED LAUGHTER)

She went without
my permission.

But, as you can all see,
she has come back,
and I love her for it.

wouldn't be pleased

of such a wife?

you left my

00:13:05,536 --> 00:13:07,705
He wanted to stay
with his father.
160

He's old enough to decide.
161
00:13:10,708 --> 00:13:12,585
Is it not enough
that I came back?

No, it's not enough,

it's... It's not enough.
164

Of course it's not enough.

I have done?

with self-importance

he pretends to be
descended from Odin!

He doesn't need to
pretend anything.

Now I know for sure why
you went to defend him.
174
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:05,638
Not to repulse
a foreign invader,
as you lied to me,
175
00:14:06,972 --> 00:14:09,808
but because
you're still in
love with him.

00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:28,512
Master, can I help you?
184
00:15:29,263 --> 00:15:32,599
I was going to ask
you the same question.
185
00:15:32,683 --> 00:15:34,018
Those buckets
look very heavy.
186
00:15:34,685 --> 00:15:36,312
I'm used to it.
187
00:15:41,025 --> 00:15:42,109
What is your name?
188
00:15:43,402 --> 00:15:44,528
Porunn.
189
00:15:47,531 --> 00:15:48,949
Sit a moment.
190
00:15:49,825 --> 00:15:51,327
I have to finish my work.
191
00:15:51,410 --> 00:15:52,995
It is all right.
192
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:13,223
Where do you sleep?
193
00:16:13,307 --> 00:16:14,600
In that barn
194
00:16:15,184 --> 00:16:18,103
with the other
servants and animals.
195
00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:22,900
Do you...have a boyfriend?
196
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,280
Of course!

ASLAUG: She is
remarkably good looking.
199
00:16:54,264 --> 00:16:56,058
If you say so.
200
00:17:02,481 --> 00:17:06,235
Why do you let Horik
decide everything?
201
00:17:09,321 --> 00:17:11,782
Can you really
forgive Jarl Borg?
202
00:17:14,451 --> 00:17:17,663
Do you know how much I
suffered because of him?
203
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:19,832
How much your
son suffered?
204
00:17:22,126 --> 00:17:25,963
Yes, I know.
205
00:17:26,088 --> 00:17:28,298
But you do
nothing about it!
206
00:17:29,216 --> 00:17:30,884
By insulting and
humiliating me,
207
00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:34,429
he insulted and
humiliated you.
208
00:17:35,806 --> 00:17:38,308
My father never would
have allowed such a thing.
209
00:17:38,392 --> 00:17:40,644
He would have
been revenged.
210
00:17:43,438 --> 00:17:46,859
Your father cannot
do too much now,
211
00:17:46,942 --> 00:17:48,527

212
00:18:15,012 --> 00:18:16,013

00:18:18,515 --> 00:18:19,766
You are quite safe.
214
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:24,938
Where is he?

Sit down.
216
00:19:05,103 --> 00:19:06,271
What is that?
217
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:14,613
The skull of my first wife.
218
00:19:14,696 --> 00:19:16,573
She continues to advise me.
219
00:19:21,578 --> 00:19:22,621
Is that fair to her?
220
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:30,629
So... Your brother
wants me to come
and fight for him?
221
00:19:32,089 --> 00:19:35,008
He wants to rebuild
the original alliance
222
00:19:35,092 --> 00:19:36,593
between himself,
King Horik, and you.
223
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:45,185
He believes that,
in our small countries,
224
00:19:45,269 --> 00:19:47,771
cooperation is
the only way forward.
225
00:19:49,606 --> 00:19:53,193
So, he does not
want revenge upon me?
226
00:19:53,277 --> 00:19:55,779
After all,
I invaded his lands.
227
00:19:56,947 --> 00:19:59,825
Men like you
and I will always
look for revenge.
228
00:20:02,286 --> 00:20:03,704
Ragnar looks beyond.
229
00:20:04,121 --> 00:20:08,750
Then he is a most
extraordinary man indeed.
230
00:20:08,834 --> 00:20:11,211
As forgiving
as a Christian!
231
00:20:12,963 --> 00:20:15,757
He is also
a practical man.
232
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:19,636
He and King Horik
have lost a lot of men.
233
00:20:20,554 --> 00:20:23,390
They need you to
help them raid.
234

you say, my love?

You think I should go?

00:20:52,627 --> 00:20:54,921
She thinks I should go.
238
00:20:56,340 --> 00:20:57,841

239
00:20:58,467 --> 00:20:59,468
Yes, Jarl Borg.
240
00:21:00,552 --> 00:21:04,681
You and I must drink to this
most unexpected
241
00:21:04,765 --> 00:21:06,266
but not unwelcome event.
242
00:21:06,975 --> 00:21:08,185
My wife will join us.
243
00:21:11,563 --> 00:21:12,731

You have a great
gift, Athelstan.
247
00:22:10,914 --> 00:22:14,626
I believe it is a...
A divine gift.
248
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:18,338
Thank you, sire.
249
00:22:18,422 --> 00:22:20,924
I thought I might
have forgotten, but...
250
00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:24,928
I love these materials.
251
00:22:25,011 --> 00:22:30,100
Brushes, the paints,
the colors.
252
00:22:30,684 --> 00:22:33,562
I had not appreciated
how much I missed my work.
253
00:22:33,645 --> 00:22:36,731
The pagans have
nothing like it?
254
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:41,319
No. They have no art.
255
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:43,113
They can neither
read nor write,
256
00:22:43,196 --> 00:22:45,657
except for their
carved runes.
257
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:46,741
Hmm.
258
00:22:48,493 --> 00:22:50,912
And their gods?
259
00:22:50,996 --> 00:22:55,876
Uh, Odin and Thor
and Freyr.
(CHUCKLING)
260
00:22:55,959 --> 00:22:58,420
How strange you
must have found them.
261
00:23:00,922 --> 00:23:02,340
In some ways, yes.
262
00:23:03,675 --> 00:23:04,676
In other ways...
263
00:23:06,178 --> 00:23:07,554
In other ways?
264
00:23:11,016 --> 00:23:13,643
Their gods are very old.
265
00:23:13,727 --> 00:23:16,396
And sometimes I could
not help noticing
some similarities
266
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,065
with our own God,
and his son.
267
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:22,569
For example,
their god, Odin,
268
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:25,405
whom they call the All-father,
the god of gods,
269
00:23:26,281 --> 00:23:28,450
wanted to discover
what it was like to die.
270
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:32,078
So, according to their
stories and traditions,
271
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:34,080
Odin hung himself
from a tree
272
00:23:35,373 --> 00:23:38,335
and a pagan servant
stabbed him in his side
with a spear,
273
00:23:39,002 --> 00:23:40,795
just like the Romans
did to Christ.
274
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:47,844
Come with me.
275
00:23:53,391 --> 00:23:54,392
Tell me honestly.
276
00:23:56,186 --> 00:23:58,438
What do you
think of these works?
277
00:24:01,858 --> 00:24:04,903
I find them
indescribably
beautiful.
278
00:24:04,986 --> 00:24:06,821
But they are
clearly pagan.

I begin to trust you.
282
00:24:17,582 --> 00:24:19,376
I feel you...
283
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:23,421
You are a kindred spirit.
284
00:24:27,384 --> 00:24:32,347
Who? Who painted
these images?
285
00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:35,934
What race of man
was ever so glorious
286
00:24:36,017 --> 00:24:38,270
that they filled
our world with such,
287
00:24:38,853 --> 00:24:42,232
as you say,
indescribable beauty?
288
00:24:44,276 --> 00:24:46,820
I have been told, sire,
289
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:47,946
that you served
at the court
290
00:24:48,029 --> 00:24:50,198
of the emperor
Charlemagne,
291
00:24:50,282 --> 00:24:52,867
which I have
also visited.
292
00:24:52,951 --> 00:24:54,327
I cannot imagine,
therefore,
293
00:24:54,411 --> 00:24:58,206
that you do not
know what I know.
294
00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:00,834
That these images were
painted by the Romans.
295
00:25:00,917 --> 00:25:03,086
They conquered these
lands a long time ago.
296
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,921
They conquered
the whole world.
297
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:10,760
But they were pagans.
They worshipped false gods.
298
00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:18,977
Never speak of
our conversation
to any other man here.
299
00:25:19,060 --> 00:25:21,855
Nobody else would
understand it.
300
00:25:21,938 --> 00:25:23,231
They would fear it.
301

The fact is, Athelstan,
306
00:25:39,831 --> 00:25:43,918
we have lost more
knowledge than we
ever had!
307
00:25:45,754 --> 00:25:49,716
These Romans knew things
that we will never know.
308
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:53,803
Their pagan gods allowed
them to rule the world.
309
00:25:56,806 --> 00:25:59,601
And what is the
lesson that we can
learn from that?

It's the stuff of

fabric of dreams.

a renewal of our

what could be
gained by inviting you.

We have much to gain
if we work together,
365

and a lot to
lose if we don't.

would take my advice

to rejoin our alliance.
