LOTHBROK: Previously on Vikings...

You must protect us against these pagans.

This city is impregnable.

Athelstan. I wish he was here with us.

We will manage without him.

The King has asked me to take command.

How do we best attack the city?

KALF: Two mount attacks both

from the water and from the land.

I will lead an assault on the tower and the gates of the city.

We will attack the gates together.

I don't think you were listening.

BJORN: At the same time as the attack at the gates,

there'll also be a river-borne attack.

We will beach beneath the walls,

climb up and gain entry to the city that way as well.

Floki, you'll be responsible for constructing

whatever it is we need to scale these walls.

It's not me making these towers. It's the gods.

I gave them a great sacrifice.

GISLA: The people of Paris are frightened to death

by this pagan army.

You may rely upon me to do everything possible

to persuade the people of our ultimate victory.

Yes.

Their swords will be colored with blood!

But I performed great sacrifices,

And still you have betrayed me!

(SOBBING)

Don't piss in my mouth, you gods!

You know who I am!

Your mouth is filled with lies, Floki.

You poor fool.

You're insane.

I will be flayed with fire.

They told me the news.

Is he dying? Is my son dying?

WOMAN: I don't know.

What happened?

He was proving that you don't need a title to be a leader.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

You should never have let him climb the ladder.

Now he may die.

Both of you stop treating him like a child.

He's a man, so let him be one.

(BREATHING HEAVILY) Today we came so close.

Next time, we will not make the same mistakes.

What are you doing?

Helga...

What are you doing here?

I can't bear to face the others.

HELGA: Why?

Because all of this disaster is my fault.

For their own reasons, the gods have decided to punish me.

And I don't understand.

Everything I did,

everything I have done, I did for them.

This is not all about you!

Don't be angry with me.

Please don't be angry with me.

Why not? How am I supposed to live, knowing what I know?

You don't think of anybody but yourself.

(SHIVERING) That's not true!

That's not true, Helga.

I think about all of us.

I think about every human being in Midgard.

Hel... Helga, don't go.

(SOBBING) Helga, don't leave me.

Helga, come back.

Helga, come back!

(WAILING) Helga!

(SOBBING)

How are you?

Alive.

You want to hate me,

but you can't.

Can't I?

KALF: All I know

is that I desire you with all my heart.

I want to be with you.

How could I believe you?

I could have let you die.

What if I accept what you have to say?

What if I agree to be with you

and go with you?

But I will never forgive you

for usurping my Earldom.

And one day, I will kill you.

If you accept that condition,

then let us be together.

(RAGNAR URINATING)

(GROANING)

You see?

You should never have called me that.

Called you what?

Ironside.

(CHUCKLING) As if the gods are protecting me.

Go.

(BJORN COUGHING)

You're alive, aren't you?

Today went badly.

Yes, it did.

You led today.

I only did what my instincts told me to do.

Well, that is a start.

What are we going to do?

(SIGHS)

Before I decide I must speak with an old friend.

(GROANING)

(EXHALES) Athelstan.

I hope you can hear me, Athelstan,

and I'm not just talking to myself.

Oh...

(GRUNTS)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

What?

Do you think I went too far with Floki?

Hmm.

(SCOFFS)

Can you actually believe that he thought

I would let him lead without my having an agenda?

(SIGHS)

(GROANS) If I was him,

I would worry less about the gods

and more about the fury of a patient man.

And as well you know, I can be very patient.

(REGURGITATES)

(COUGHING)

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

I wish you were here.

Paris is everything you told me it would be.

And I am bound and determined to conquer it.
