Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,160
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,600
After the battle at Tettenhall,
3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,480
Brida has been captured and enslaved
4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,040
- in Wealas.
- [screams, grunts]
5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,640
Aethelred's death has left Mercia
with an empty throne
6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,960
and many vying for influence.
7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,520
As you know, Lady Aelfwynn is dear to me.
8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,440
I should like her to be betrothed
to a man I trust.
9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,640
Could you be such a man, Eardwulf?
10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,440
[Uhtred] With Aelfwynn's hand in marriage,
Eardwulf was to become ruler of Mercia.
11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,880
They cast me aside,
treat my child as a bag of silver.
12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,400
But I was compelled to disrupt their plans
and took Aelfwynn into hiding.
13
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,320
[Eardwulf]
Find me 12 men to leave immediately.
14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,440
If Wessex is incapable,
we'll find the fugitives ourselves.
15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Rumors of fever break out in the land...
16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,720
- [splutters]
- ...bringing fear and desperation.
17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560
People are abandoning their villages.
18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,000
[Ludeca]
It ravages worse than any Dane invader.
19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,000
Two of my grandchildren
travel on open ground in time of sickness.
20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,239
[Uhtred] Eadith betrayed her brother
to protect Lady Aelfwynn.
21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,880
He murdered Lord Aethelred!
I witnessed it!
22
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:16,680
But she has been struck by illness
and may not survive.
23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,160
I fear she's getting worse.
24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,800
We must return to Aegelesburg,
reveal Eardwulf's treachery.
25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,200
And we tell him what kind of a man
he trusted.
26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,320
A new ruler must be found to bring peace,
or all will be lost.
27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,160
Destiny is all!
28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,360
[intense vocalizing]
29
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,840
[priest] In nomine Patris, et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti...
30
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,200
In nomine Patris, et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti...
31
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,720
[somber vocalizing]
32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,240
In nomine Patris...
33
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,880
[crowd murmuring]
34
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,960
[spits]
35
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120
- Ignore it.
- Such disrespect.
36
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,360
I wasn't fond of Aethelred,
but he was Lord here.
37
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,400
A curse upon the line of Aethelred!
38
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
[whispers] Quickly!
39
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,600
- You will get me executed.
- You've survived so far.
40
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Can you hide them? She's my daughter.
And he's the King's bastard.
41
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,320
- What?
- Do not ask.
42
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,200
It is just until I can get Edward
to listen.
43
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,920
I fear we are beyond that. This place
is like a tinder waiting for a spark.
44
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
- Which is why I need you to help me.
- [Pyrlig panting]
45
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Thank you.
46
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Come on, this way.
47
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,000
[somber vocalizing]
48
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,160
[woman] Curse upon the line of Aethelred!
49
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,280
Is this defiance caused by hunger?
50
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,240
- Hunger, fever, a lack of leadership.
- [crowd shouting]
51
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,800
How long will the grain last?
52
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,240
That depends on how much the Ealdormen
have kept for themselves.
53
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,200
[man] May God forgive you!
54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Lord Burgred speaks against me yet again.
55
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Ignore the chatter.
56
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,920
Truly dangerous men do not issue threats.
57
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:21,360
Look at them.
58
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,720
I know that look. You have no plan.
59
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,160
I have a plan.
60
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,600
[woman] Shame on you!
61
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,080
We tell the Ealdorman
we'll kill their lord.
62
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,320
[Finan scoffs]
63
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,480
Forgive me, but there is news.
64
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,560
The Ealdormen have called their Witan
for after the funeral.
65
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,600
Why was I not informed?
66
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,920
They say you do not need to know
and that you may not enter the Witan.
67
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,360
[priest] Pater noster qui es in caelis.
68
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,440
May your name be hallowed.
69
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,120
May your will be done...
70
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,840
What has happened here?
71
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,640
- Slaughter, betrayal and now ambition.
- [Finan] So, when they come to kill you,
72
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
- what would you like me to do?
- They will not kill me.
73
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,440
I am the only one who knows
where Aelfwynn hides.
74
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,880
We will strike a deal.
75
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480
- [Witan clamoring]
- The King cannot be trusted.
76
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,560
He calls himself leader of all Saxons,
77
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,280
yet he-he schemes against us
to make us submissive!
78
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120
We will ask him to explain himself.
79
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,200
So he can lie about Lady Aelfwynn,
as he lied about her mother?
80
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:36,080
- The time has come to take a bolder step!
- Isolating ourselves from Wessex
81
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,920
would serve Mercia no better
than King Edward's tyranny!
82
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,400
- Then let us put it to the Witan!
- Who would...
83
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,360
[clamoring stops]
84
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,640
Please, continue.
85
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,080
- The Witan is closed to all but Mercians.
- I am Mercian in blood through my mother.
86
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Lord, no. We must be able to speak freely.
87
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,800
I do not deny that.
88
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,240
[Witan murmuring]
89
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speak. I come merely to listen
to your discussions.
90
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,520
You were saying I lied
about Lady Aelfwynn?
91
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,680
Everyone knows
Eardwulf hunts her on the road.
92
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,880
[Edward] Yes, to bring her here to safety.
93
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,640
We are waiting until the sickness passes
and Eardwulf and Lady Aelfwynn return.
94
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Lies!
95
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,640
[indistinct chatter]
96
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,800
That seems an unwise thing to say.
97
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,720
You said we could speak freely
and I say this is lies!
98
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,720
[Witan shouting]
99
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,920
Lord Burgred, remember who I am.
100
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,840
You move in your troops,
leader of the Mercian Guard disappears,
101
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,800
so yet again we cannot defend ourselves.
102
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Then suddenly, from nowhere,
a fever closes the city
103
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,640
- and starves the people!
- Burgred! You go too far!
104
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,600
You cannot be suggesting
I created this situation.
105
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,520
The people are hungry
because you hoard the grain!
106
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
We hoard it
so it cannot fatten Wessex fighters.
107
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400
- Enough! Enough!
- [Witan murmuring]
108
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,080
- The outlaw returns!
- No outlaw.
109
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Just a man who's seen enough conflict
in Mercia. Let me speak.
110
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
I am Lord Uhtred,
who, with Lady Aethelflaed,
111
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,080
has led Mercian fyrds to victory
against the Danes at Tettenhall.
112
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,600
I spilled blood for you.
I ask that you listen to me in return.
113
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Lord Uhtred, explain to these people
114
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Lady Aelfwynn is safe
and about to return for her betrothal.
115
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,080
She is safe, but she cannot be betrothed.
116
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,000
Eardwulf has confessed to the murder
of Lord Aethelred
117
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880
- and he has fled Mercia.
- [murmuring]
118
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Ignore the heathen!
He's just a troublemaker!
119
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Why do you seek to humiliate Mercia
with these outrageous lies?
120
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200
It is no lie. Eardwulf has near
confessed it before his men.
121
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,280
This was found on him.
122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,160
It belonged to Lord Aethelred
and was stolen from his dying hand.
123
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Eardwulf has done many things
to harm Mercia.
124
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,240
You all chose to turn your eyes from it.
125
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,840
This is the consequence.
126
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,720
[indistinct chatter]
127
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600
What is it?
128
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,640
- I'm not going to tell you.
- Is it wormwood?
129
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,919
It will not work. I've heard it kills men.
130
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,799
Poison can sometimes be a cure.
131
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,600
Mixed with holy water,
it will cool the fever.
132
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Look at her. She is dying.
133
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,880
- If she does, we will be blamed.
- There's sickness everywhere, Eadith.
134
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,080
Yes, and who gets accused?
Sinners, people like me.
135
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,600
You have not been shunned as I have.
136
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,480
- I will not take the risk.
- [scoffs]
137
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,920
And I thought you were amongst
the bravest of warriors.
138
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
There.
139
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Now she and I are bothdoomed.
140
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,320
[Aelfwynn breathing heavily]
141
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Aelfwynn?
142
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,600
[sighs]
143
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,440
- [Aelfwynn coughing]
- [Edward] Where is my niece, Uhtred?
144
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600
We know you traveled the road
with children from Saltwic.
145
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,240
- Where are they?
- I will not tell you.
146
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,240
Not until I have your word that Aelfwynn
and Lady Aethelflaed will be protected.
147
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,080
You are in no position to bargain!
148
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,080
[Uhtred sighs]
149
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
So, I will ask you this one more time.
150
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,560
- Where is my niece?
- [sighs]
151
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,360
Tell me or I shall have you seized.
152
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,040
I've done nothing wrong. You know this.
153
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,240
Your actions have caused chaos,
disturbed a smooth transition of power
154
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,680
and launched an uprising
amongst the Ealdormen!
155
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,320
So, even you will understand
why I call you traitor.
156
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,080
Take him away.
157
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,240
[scoffs]
158
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,200
Find out where he hides her. The girl is
our only way to maintain the alliance.
159
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800
If we cannot betroth her,
we lose that bond.
160
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,480
But who to betroth her to?
161
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,280
You said there are no suitable candidates.
162
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,480
[breathes deeply] Yes.
163
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Perhaps instead of seeking
to make a bond with the Ealdormen...
164
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,240
we should find a way to break them.
165
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,560
- [bleating]
- [Rhodri] Why haven't we slaughtered them?
166
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,320
- [guard] We were tricked!
- You say you have them under control,
167
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,760
and then I hear they've taken
our villages to the south!
168
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,400
I've never seen men like this before.
169
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,480
I do not want this news to reach
my brother whilst he's on holy pilgrimage.
170
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,360
- You will tell no one of these defeats.
- They are terrifying.
171
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,440
[chuckles]
172
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,160
What was that?
173
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Huh? Uh...
174
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Are you thirsty?
175
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
- [Rhodri laughs]
- [Brida groans]
176
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,840
[panting]
177
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,240
[yells]
178
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,800
[Burgred] Stay back! Come on, move aside.
179
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,640
We are taking it to storage,
so that Wessex cannot steal it.
180
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,040
[Cenric] Seize the carts!
181
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,400
The King demands the grain
be shared fairly amongst the people.
182
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,720
The King does not care for the people.
183
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,160
Mm...
184
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,120
[both grunting]
185
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,960
Guards!
186
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,880
- Stand aside!
- [woman groans]
187
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,800
With me!
188
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,440
[indistinct chatter]
189
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,360
I would call this provocation.
190
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,480
[horse neighs in distance]
191
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,080
[Aldhelm] What is it?
192
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,320
We're being followed. Come on!
193
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400
[Aldhelm] Go!
194
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,920
[suspenseful music plays]
195
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,600
- [whinnies]
- Could we have been discovered?
196
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:06,040
- [Aldhelm] We cannot outrun them.
- [both panting]
197
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,680
We must hide. Hyah! Away!
198
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Lord King!
199
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,920
Why do you continue to impound our grain
and occupy our citadel?
200
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,880
May I remind you, this hall is only
for the Lord of Mercia and his Ealdormen!
201
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,920
And so I shall remain here
until the new Lord is chosen.
202
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Yet the Witan are minded
to separate from Wessex.
203
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Really?
204
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,240
You do not speak for the Ealdormen.
205
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760
You are merely grasping
like a greedy child,
206
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,360
and I shall not indulge it.
207
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:04,360
If you want me to leave the hall,
208
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,320
one of your men will have to lay hands
on a King,
209
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:15,160
a man anointed by God to rule in his name
and a son of Alfred.
210
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,720
They dishonor me,
211
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,560
you dishonor Mercia for breaking
the accord so long held between us.
212
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,440
Who will be the man to do it?
213
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Drag a King through the hall?
214
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,240
Who dares throw himself
before God like this?
215
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,120
[Burgred] I will.
216
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,600
I will fight for Mercia.
217
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,240
You forget I am King
and wield power like a King.
218
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,120
Lord Burgred...
219
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,440
we have taken your son to Wessex
for religious instruction.
220
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,680
[horse snorts]
221
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,720
[Edward] He will be cared for
until his father finds better judgment.
222
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,760
[suspenseful music plays]
223
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,240
[breathing heavily]
224
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,720
- [Sihtric] Lady Aethelflaed.
- Run.
225
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,920
- We know you're there!
- I'll hold them off.
226
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
No, no!
227
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Sihtric!
228
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,760
[sighs]
229
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,720
Lady, it's Uhtred's men!
230
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,200
[breathing heavily]
231
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,600
- [Aldhelm] Thank God it's you.
- My lady.
232
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,560
Aldhelm.
233
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,640
You are not easy to find.
234
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Did Uhtred send you?
235
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,400
What news of my daughter?
236
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,160
She is safe.
Uhtred has returned to Aegelesburg
237
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240
- to bargain for your protection.
- Is Aelfwynn with him?
238
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920
She is being cared for,
but... she became unwell.
239
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,000
- The sickness?
- [Young Uhtred] It may not be.
240
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,520
She's traveled a great distance.
241
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Take me to her.
242
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,480
Did the King ask you to do this?
243
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Do not speak.
244
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Were you sworn to Alfred?
Where will we have met?
245
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,600
We have fought at Beamfleot.
246
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Must we extract this information
from you the hard way?
247
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,400
[Aethelhelm sighs]
248
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,960
Can't you just tell us
where Lady Aelfwynn is hiding?
249
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,200
It's your choice.
250
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,880
[both grunting]
251
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,320
[grunting continues]
252
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Aelfwynn?
253
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:26,520
[panting] Aelfwynn?
254
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,040
[Aelfwynn wheezes]
255
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,520
Aelfwynn, please wake up. Aelfwynn...
256
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,600
You've killed her.
257
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,120
No. Perhaps it is the poison
burning the fever in her body?
258
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,360
- Or perhaps she's dead!
- No. No, she's still breathing.
259
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:45,840
We must take her to a place of-of comfort.
Let us go back to Aegelesburg.
260
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
- No, but Lord Uhtred said...
- I know what Uhtred said.
261
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,200
But Uhtred is not my master
and we cannot stay here.
262
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,280
We must get her to a healer in Aegelesburg
if she is to stand a chance.
263
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,400
[quietly] Okay.
264
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,920
[sniffles]
265
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,560
[Osferth exhaling] Lord have mercy on us.
266
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,040
How are your expressions of piety?
267
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,440
Full-hearted.
268
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,880
Where is Burgred's son?
269
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,520
He is safe.
270
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,200
It was a callous decision,
but I suspect a clever one.
271
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,400
It has diminished Burgred
and you have averted a fight.
272
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,240
For that, I am grateful.
273
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,040
I do not think the conflict is over.
274
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,920
But you've been decisive,
and that will help in times of chaos.
275
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Now you could play peacemaker yourself.
How will you proceed?
276
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,240
I will not tell you,
for you will not keep it to yourself.
277
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,640
Then I will tell you one thing.
278
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,520
The people of Mercia are Saxon,
but they will never be of Wessex.
279
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Force them to be,
and they will fight back.
280
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,560
If you do not seek to conquer,
all will be resolved.
281
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,920
Continue to care for Mercia,
282
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,440
find the right match for my granddaughter,
and peace will come.
283
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,960
Did we discover if Uhtred
has all the children from Saltwic?
284
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,360
He will not give us that information.
285
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,960
Believe me, we tried to extract it.
286
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,400
[groaning]
287
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Don't turn away from me.
This was done in your name.
288
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,920
I did not order this, Uhtred.
289
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,840
[groans]
290
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,400
Aethelhelm claims he acts for you.
291
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,040
Look at me!
292
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Fetch him food and water
and furs to keep him warm.
293
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Yes, Lord.
294
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,600
[Edward] I did not order this,
because I knew it would not work.
295
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,920
[Uhtred groans]
296
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,440
Lord Aethelhelm was foolish
to think you would weaken.
297
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,040
[chuckles]
298
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Tell me, where does it come from,
this courage?
299
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:18,240
You have suffered greatly, and for what?
A child you barely know?
300
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Not for her.
301
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,160
Then why?
302
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,600
The same reason I fought at Tettenhall.
303
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,280
My deep love of Mercian politics.
304
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,920
You love my sister.
305
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Your sister is a widow.
She has my respect.
306
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,640
I've always envied you
for choosing your own path.
307
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200
Looked at the way men followed you
308
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,280
and felt... inspired,
if somewhat grudgingly.
309
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,640
And now I wonder
if you are as imprisoned as I am...
310
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,280
unable to escape a life
that was imposed upon you. [sighs]
311
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,160
Neither of us asked to be here.
312
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,720
For my part,
the choices are growing narrower.
313
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,720
I have tried to find a solution here
314
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440
that respects the Mercians
and keeps order.
315
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600
But events have turned against me...
316
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,040
and I have to ask myself,
does God want me to fight for this?
317
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760
I have followed the guidance of others
too long.
318
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,600
I have made mistakes, yes.
319
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,800
I have lived somewhat in Alfred's shadow.
320
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,000
[inhales sharply]
321
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,120
And now you see the light?
322
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:04,360
I know he was speaking the truth when
he said the kingdoms are stronger united.
323
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,080
So, perhaps I should be
unifying them myself...
324
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,680
rather than making a child do it for me.
325
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,480
You are free to go, Uhtred.
326
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,640
[sighs] Return to Aelfwynn.
327
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Reunite with my sister and keep them safe
until the conflict passes.
328
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120
Matters may grow ugly here.
It is best they do not see it.
329
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,840
[groans]
330
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,960
[men laughing]
331
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,120
[indistinct chatter]
332
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,800
[man] You learn something every day...
333
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,040
[Rhodri] They'll be pushed back to
the sea, drowning in their own blood!
334
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,160
Picked on the wrong men this time!
335
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,400
Hey!
336
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,760
Did you hear that, bitch?
337
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,920
- Do you want to congratulate us?
- [groans]
338
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,560
Oh, she cannot speak for thirst.
339
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,280
[Rhodri] Hey, want a drink?
340
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,760
Come on. Come on.
341
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:37,320
[men grunt]
342
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,240
- [gasping]
- [men laughing]
343
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,840
[whimpering]
344
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,200
[men grunt and laugh]
345
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,000
[hooves pattering]
346
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,920
[dramatic vocalizing]
347
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,000
[gasps]
348
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840
She says your daughter
passed into the next life.
349
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,920
[breathes deeply]
350
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,240
And her body was taken to Aegelesburg.
351
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,760
[sniffles]
352
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,880
Has Uhtred finally realized the stupidity
of his defiance?
353
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,960
I would say not.
354
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960
But I have asked him to leave Aegelesburg.
355
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
- And I would like you to do the same.
- Lord?
356
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,520
More than once
you have taken it upon yourself
357
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,480
to interpret my wishes in a way
that I find unchristian.
358
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,760
I have tried to guide you
on a bolder course.
359
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,680
Is it boldness to confine a widow?
360
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,880
Beat a man as he was chained?
361
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,920
I simply placed myself between you
and some necessary unpleasantness.
362
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,480
- I did what you asked.
- But not what I wanted.
363
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,200
Once again, you used my orders
to suit your own wishes.
364
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,120
Perhaps being so far from home
has clouded your judgment.
365
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Return to Winchester,
and all will be well.
366
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,120
Very well, I shall do as you request.
367
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
I hope your mother advises you better
than I have.
368
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,680
Wonderful news, Edward! The word is that
Aelfwynn has been brought to the gates.
369
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:57,960
She is here?
370
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,760
- Shall I bring her into the town?
- Yes, of course! Bring her to me!
371
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,960
Open the gate!
372
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,160
See? It is a sign!
The Lord did not want you to be a tyrant
373
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,800
and now has sent you your reward!
374
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,640
- [guard] Move, move!
- [crowd clamoring]
375
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,360
[Aelswith panting] Oh, dear God!
We will need a priest.
376
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,680
We've tried everything.
She needs the final rites, Lord.
377
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,280
Find me every healer in town.
Do not speak a word of this to anyone.
378
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:26,720
Yes, Lord. Come with me.
379
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,200
[Edward] Go.
380
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Do you think she will survive?
381
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,160
[sighs] Dear God!
382
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,040
I'll find the man who did this.
383
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,640
[Uhtred sighs]
384
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
Eh, don't, don't, don't.
385
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,800
- [Uhtred sighs]
- What now?
386
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,760
There's nothing for us here, Finan.
Where's my daughter?
387
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,360
She's insisting on helping Father Pyrlig
and I've tried to dissuade her, but...
388
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,240
She is too stubborn
because she is my daughter?
389
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,000
- [both] Hm.
- [Finan scoffs]
390
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,400
Where is she?
391
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,560
[indistinct chatter]
392
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,600
The King continues to take the town.
393
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,200
He feeds the people.
394
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Truly, you have lost your judgment.
395
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,480
Think on your son!
396
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,800
- [man 1] There's grain!
- [man 2] Come with me.
397
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,720
[woman] The cart's here!
398
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,440
- Okay, there's plenty to go around.
- [Stiorra] Form a line.
399
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,000
- [crowd clamoring]
- Don't push!
400
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,560
[Stiorra] Here. [grunting]
401
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Stand back and form a line!
402
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,480
- [man] You don't need it!
- Hold on!
403
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
You would think the grain was silver.
404
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,960
Hey, calm yourselves. Calm yourselves!
There's more than enough.
405
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,600
- Stop this!
- [Pyrlig] Stand back!
406
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,040
- [woman] Get off me!
- [Stiorra] Get off!
407
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,600
[all grunting]
408
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,840
[Uhtred] Stiorra!
409
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,280
[grunting continues]
410
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,680
- [Stiorra coughing]
- Finan, take Stiorra!
411
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,160
- [Finan] Look at me. You're fine.
- [Uhtred] Stop! Drop it!
412
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,120
- Enough! Get back!
- [man grunting]
413
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,720
[Stiorra groaning]
414
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,320
I know you suffer, but turning on
each other will not save you!
415
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,040
You must work as one rather than
quarreling amongst yourselves.
416
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,160
Now, get back behind the cart
and form a line.
417
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,040
Each person will be given what they need.
418
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,000
- Look how he influences them.
- [Uhtred] Trust me.
419
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,360
- He will make them rise against you.
- [Uhtred] Mercian must not fight Mercian.
420
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,520
Anyone who wants grain
must keep the peace.
421
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,000
- Finan, help me with the bags.
- [Finan] Lord.
422
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Bring him before me.
423
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,200
[Pyrlig] Bless you.
424
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,600
[woman] Thank you. [grunts]
425
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,720
[indistinct chatter]
426
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800
[groaning softly]
427
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,200
[straining]
428
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520
[panting]
429
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,920
[crowd yelling in distance]
430
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,920
[yelling continues]
431
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,800
Kill anyone who looks like
they cannot work!
432
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,960
Fat ones we can sell as slaves. [roars]
433
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,960
[yelling and grunting]
434
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,080
Secure the fort!
435
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,760
[screaming]
436
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,760
[grunting]
437
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,800
[leader] Spare him!
438
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,960
[Rhodri panting] You want the silver?
439
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,880
I have no interest in silver.
440
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,680
We are looking for a Dane named Brida.
441
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,920
Too late. I killed her.
442
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,560
[Brida] You did not!
443
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,680
[sighs]
444
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,320
[Uhtred] Lord King,
I was leaving as we agreed.
445
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,440
But then you chose to be part
of a disturbance in the town.
446
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,840
I did not choose to be part of it.
447
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,560
You were just guided by forces
beyond your control?
448
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,960
As ever,
Uhtred is but a plaything of his gods.
449
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,200
[Edward] You wanted to bring peace
to Aegelesburg.
450
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,280
Which is better than wanting
to start another battle.
451
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,920
You truly think I seek battles?
452
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Perhaps not, but that is what will happen.
The Ealdormen will not back down,
453
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,239
so you will finish the slaughter
that the Danes have started.
454
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,400
I fear you are right.
455
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,520
There is a risk of great slaughter.
456
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Innocent people will suffer.
457
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,199
I will crush them, leave the town
in the care of the Wessex Guard.
458
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,600
They will run the place
as they feel they need to,
459
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:28,000
which is rarely an easy life
for the people, is it?
460
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,480
Strange things happen
in times of conflict.
461
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,639
The Ealdormen are passionate
that they could repel us for a while.
462
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,639
Whichever way,
the conflict would continue.
463
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,440
They might try to hunt down my sister.
464
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,159
They would not find her.
465
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,520
So you will live as fugitives for months,
years? Is that how you see it?
466
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,159
I've spent many years on the road.
467
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600
True, but it is not the life
that was meant for Aethelflaed.
468
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,639
- Hardly what she deserves.
- That is a choice you are making.
469
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:04,840
If I place someone to rule here
who might forge a path to peace,
470
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,640
someone who might not necessarily please
the Ealdormen,
471
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:11,120
but whose popularity with the people
might force them to accept it...
472
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,640
Let us call him a Lord and Protector
who would rule here
473
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,920
just for a few years
until things are less volatile.
474
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,560
I wondered if that person should be you.
475
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Me?
476
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,840
I do not want to rule here.
477
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Yes, but as we know,
you rarely get to make your own choices.
478
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,200
Find an equilibrium,
wait for an Ealdorman to come of age,
479
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,880
if my niece survives, betroth her
to someone Aethelflaed chooses.
480
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,640
It is clear to me you have the respect
of the people here.
481
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,400
They listen to you.
482
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,400
So, perhaps we should use that
to our mutual advantage.
483
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,880
I do not seek advantage.
484
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,280
Even to bring peace?
485
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,720
You accept,
you ensure Mercia returns to how it was,
486
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,160
before Aethelred destroyed everything.
487
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:17,360
- If I do not?
- As you said, there will be slaughter.
488
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,760
And that will be a choice you are making.
489
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,400
Accept and your reputation
will be restored
490
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,720
and your men given status and wealth.
491
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:34,040
And in a few years, you will be free
to pursue whichever dreams you may have.
492
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,920
I could give you the troops you need
to retake the fortress you lost.
493
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,120
And in return?
494
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,000
I would be your King
and expect your loyalty.
495
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,280
I expect an answer by tomorrow.
496
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,200
[Brida groans]
497
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,400
How do I know you are Brida?
498
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,480
[stammering] I fought with Guthrum.
I followed Ragnar.
499
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,200
I killed men at Tettenhall...
500
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,440
So, you have heard of Saxon battles.
That does not make you Brida.
501
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,640
[sighs]
502
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,600
[groaning]
503
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,840
It is Cnut's babe you carry,
or that of a Welshman?
504
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,680
The babe was made by Cnut,
but Cnut's fallen.
505
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,440
I do not know you.
506
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Cnut's cousin, Sigtryggr of Irland.
507
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,720
Sigtryggr was defeated and killed.
508
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,360
Defeated, yes,
driven from his settlements, yes.
509
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,000
But at this moment, quite alive.
510
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,800
- And who do you belong to now, Brida?
- No man. I am a warrior alone.
511
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,920
You do not look like a warrior.
512
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,920
Give me your sword and I will show you.
513
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Give you my sword? You might kill me.
514
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,160
No, the Brida I have heard of is cunning,
so I will stay armed.
515
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,120
If you are who you say you are,
then show me.
516
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,640
[Sigtryggr sighs]
517
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Listen to me. Talk.
518
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Prepare to be broken,
as you tried to break me.
519
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:25,920
[groaning]
520
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,520
[men laughing]
521
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,560
[Sigtryggr] Brida!
You have the anger of a she-wolf! [laughs]
522
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,040
[door closes]
523
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,320
[indistinct chatter]
524
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,000
- Is he joking?
- [Uhtred] No.
525
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,680
So, he's either lost his mind,
or he's a genius like his father.
526
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,200
He says that Aethelflaed will be defended.
And it is true.
527
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,000
No other leader in Mercia
would protect her like I would.
528
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,760
But?
529
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,560
But I was not born to be
the Lord of Mercia.
530
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,200
I never sought that kind of power.
531
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,320
Well, perhaps that in itself
makes you the best man.
532
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Mercia has suffered from being led
by ambition.
533
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,560
So, apart from the silver and the power
534
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,560
and saving the woman you love,
what is holding you back?
535
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,720
Giving my loyalty to another Saxon king.
I swore to myself I would not do that.
536
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,520
I swear I will not drink too much ale
and I frequently go back on my word.
537
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,320
Nobody wants to rip the two kingdoms
apart, least of all Aethelflaed.
538
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,560
It is a path to peace.
And she would be safe.
539
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,480
So, we have no conclusion
other than Edward has outwitted you.
540
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,040
For now.
541
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,960
So, he is as clever as his father.
542
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,120
Which will be good for all Saxons,
including you.
543
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,920
- [gulping]
- [men laughing and chattering]
544
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
[Brida sighs]
545
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,000
How did Cnut fall?
Was it his arrogance or his anger?
546
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,200
Both, but mainly his betrayal.
547
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,440
So, who did he murder
to further his ambition?
548
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,560
He took Ragnar, who I loved,
and blamed another.
549
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,800
Mm. The man had a reputation for cunning.
550
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,480
I had always admired that.
551
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,040
But he died dishonored, if he allowed
his woman to be enslaved.
552
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,920
That was the work
of Uhtred the Dane Slayer.
553
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,600
But I will have my revenge on him.
554
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,040
I have heard of this Dane Slayer
555
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,120
and what he has done
to our people for years.
556
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,920
Why did Cnut not come
when we requested help?
557
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,560
We had our own battles.
558
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,440
What?
559
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,560
- You escaped without our help.
- My kinsfolk did not.
560
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,200
Our women and children
were murdered by the Irish
561
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,280
before we had a chance to save them.
562
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,240
Then you should avenge them
and make more children.
563
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,080
Perhaps you're right.
564
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:15,760
Grow strong here.
565
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,480
Rest the men, get more silver,
then retake Dyflin.
566
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,480
- [guard groaning]
- It seems empty, no?
567
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,200
Yes, the greatest riches are in Wessex.
568
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Sadly, the Saxons do not like to share.
569
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,200
And yet they say their faith
is based on love.
570
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,480
They talk a lot of shit.
571
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,480
More shit than the Irish?
This I can't believe.
572
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,640
You have a lot to learn.
What are you gonna do for now?
573
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,440
I'll cut off the head of this man
and send it to Hywel.
574
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,560
[Pyrlig] It's just around the next corner.
575
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,800
- Where are we going?
- It's a safer place to hide.
576
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:07,880
[Pyrlig] Let's go.
577
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,600
That's it. Go inside.
578
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,320
Go.
579
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:20,240
Stay there.
580
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,360
[Aelswith]
Show me that child, Father Pyrlig.
581
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,600
Do not hide him from me.
582
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,800
[sighing]
583
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,640
[exhales] He is here?
584
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,640
- You know about him?
- Indeed.
585
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,560
I fear he had been taken, or lost forever.
586
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:51,880
Did Uhtred bring him here?
587
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,480
Apparently, even Aegelesburg
is better than the road.
588
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,360
- Had quite the adventure by all accounts.
- Then I thank him for it.
589
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:03,120
I know you dislike him,
but maybe Edward is right this time.
590
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,240
Father Pyrlig, what have I not been told?
591
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,800
[dramatic vocalizing]
592
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,040
There is a rumor
you have struck a bargain.
593
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:46,560
[Edward] Indeed.
594
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,720
- I do not like the man.
- I do not need your approval.
595
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,560
But it may be the only compromise.
596
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,320
The Ealdormen will complain,
597
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,360
but this time,
do not treat them too harshly.
598
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,160
Then you will find some redemption.
599
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,800
- I do not need redemption, either.
- Oh, my son, you do.
600
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,320
If only for the sins of your mother.
601
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,360
- [Edward] Who is this?
- He is Aethelstan.
602
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,760
He cannot be here.
603
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,000
I know it is difficult
for you to acknowledge him,
604
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,240
but I wondered,
now that certain threats are absent...
605
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,400
perhaps the moment has come
for you to be reconciled.
606
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,480
- Mother, I cannot.
- Please.
607
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,720
He has lived a life of lies,
and that must be righted.
608
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:55,600
I was wrong to wrench you apart,
and it's something that I deeply regret.
609
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,640
I thought my past actions
were protecting you and Wessex,
610
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,680
that I acted in the name of God.
611
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:11,120
But God put love in your heart,
for your first wife and this child.
612
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,120
And I should not have ignored that.
613
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,040
So, I ask for your forgiveness...
614
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,480
and his.
615
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,480
He needs your protection.
616
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,400
Place him back to where he was concealed.
617
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,120
[all vocalizing]
618
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,360
[grunting]
619
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:29,560
My King.
620
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,120
- [Edward] Have you made your choice?
- I will accept.
621
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,400
If I can rule as my own man.
622
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,760
I've never wanted to control Mercia.
Only see it at peace.
623
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,920
Good, then we are of one mind.
624
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,000
At long last, I strike a bargain
with Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
625
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,800
That is a name from another life,
but yes, for now, we strike a bargain.
626
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Guards!
627
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,840
Cenric, stand down your men.
628
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,680
Lady, I cannot. The King forbids it.
629
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,560
I am told this is
where my daughter's body is.
630
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,680
This is where your King has led us.
631
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,440
Cenric, please, in the name of Alfred,
open the gates and stand down your men.
632
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:48,920
[Cenric] Open the gates!
633
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,120
- Oh, my dearest girl, you've come home.
- [crying] Aelfwynn is dead.
634
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:10,840
No, child.
635
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,600
A miracle has occurred
and you are mistaken in your heartbreak.
636
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,680
[gasping]
637
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,880
- [sighs, sniffles]
- Mama?
638
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,760
[sighs]
639
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,160
- [Finan] ♪ This night together! ♪
- [laughter]
640
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:58,840
Oh, oh! Eh, eh! To Eadith,
for not killing the Lady Aelfwynn.
641
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:00,960
- [all] To Eadith!
- Yes!
642
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,680
Your brother has restored peace,
the people are being fed,
643
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,080
and the fever passes.
644
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,480
To Sihtric and Aethelflaed
and Young Uhtred, too.
645
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,160
May they return safely.
646
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:14,640
But if there's ale still left
when they get here,
647
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:16,720
then we have let ourselves down.
648
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:21,000
[laughing]
649
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,480
Mostly, everyone now looks forward
to the new Lord.
650
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Who is that to be?
651
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,920
He has asked Uhtred.
652
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,760
To the lands, to the silver
and to the women!
653
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,240
To Uhtred of Mercia!
654
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,520
[all] Uhtred of Mercia!
655
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,520
[laughter]
656
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,720
[Finan] Finally, he can pay us some money!
657
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,320
[Pyrlig] I very much doubt it.
658
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:01,280
