["If I Had a Heart" playing]

[somber music playing]

Here's to victory, my friends!

[all cheering]

The battle of Norway
is not over yet.

They have only retreated

and probably back to
their fortress at Kattegat.

But probably
without their talisman.

Their hero. Their leader.

They say you
killed him yourself.

[Ivar] Mmm.

I cannot be completely sure
that Bjorn was dead.

It's not possible
to kill Bjorn.

I saw him,

getting carried
off the battlefield
with my own eyes.

But you cannot say
that he was still alive?

[Hvitserk] Uh... No.
No, I cannot.

So, when do we leave
for Kattegat?

As soon as we have
repaired our ships.

This business must be finished.

I confess we lost
more warriors in the battle

than I had expected.

You Vikings fight hard.

How did you enjoy
your first battle,
Prince Igor?

It was exciting,
but I would've liked
to kill someone.

[chuckles] Of course you would.

And, don't worry,
you will soon be able to.

Then many more will follow

until you are no longer
able to remember
how many you have killed.

But still you will
not be satiated.

[door opens]

[chains rattling]

[grunts]

[Oleg] Who are these prisoners?

This is King Olaf,
once the ruler here.

And this is King Harald.
King of all of Norway!

Is all that true?

[panting]

Yes.

Alas to say.

You cast your net

and when you hauled it in,

you found that you have caught
both the King and the Joker.

King Olaf's jokes were never,
never my taste.

Oh! I thought
we got on famously,

Hvitserk, son of Ragnar.

Well, do you remember me?

I, too, am Ragnar's son.

Oh, I know who you are...

-Ivar, the Boneless.
-Mmm. [chuckles]

From the sewers of York
to the Silk Roads, your...

Your name is legendary.

[Oleg] The question is,

what to do with you both?

In what ways

can you possibly
be useful to me?

I have no intention
of being useful to you.

I won't bargain for my life.

For a Viking,
that would be demeaning.

To us, death is bliss,

and I rush to bleed.

And what about you?

Oh, I, uh...

I'm not in a rush.

[chuckles]

[somber music playing]

The Rus will be here soon.

[people chattering]

[Ubbe] Spring is here at last.

We should begin
our preparations to sail west.

Our preparations
for our journey.

[Othere] Oh, yes.

I'm ready to put
my house in order

and submit myself
to the elements again.

And what about you, Ketill?

Will you come with us?

I plan to sail with two ships
and about 40 people.

That means some of the settlers
will have to come with us.

I have made a recent habit

of confession.

I have told everyone
that will listen

that I want to be
King of Iceland.

I know... I can see

that this Icelandic
settlement will grow,

become rich, attract
all manner of new settlers.

To be King of such a place...

It would be
an extraordinary achievement

for a simple fellow like me.

So, you won't come.

You won't sacrifice
your ambitions?

No. I won't
sacrifice my ambitions.

But they can wait.

Then it is decided.

Let the settlers
choose amongst themselves
who will come with us.

And may the gods guide us
to the golden land.

[somber music playing]

[wheezes]

[mumbling incoherently]

[Oleg] I have some good news

and some bad news.

The good news is

I have decided
to spare your life...

King Harald.

[chuckles]

The bad news is
your life is over...

King Olaf.

You are a King
without a kingdom.

What use is that to anyone?

I might have made
a different decision.

But then you don't
have the power,

do you, Ivar?

[door shuts]

You lucky bastard.

I know.

[Ingrid sniffling]

Ingrid.

Come here.

Come.

Why are you being so pathetic?

It's not just Bjorn.

Then what?

King Harald raped me.

[whimpers]

If I ever get the chance,
I will cut his throat.

But it is not likely.

You and I will die here,
alongside our husband.

And if you fight well
and bravely enough,

we shall meet again afterwards.

[sighs]

I told Bjorn I would bring him
luck and good fortune.

Instead, I have brought him
pain and ruin.

You are not a god, Ingrid.

Just another human being.

All you could ever give Bjorn

was what you could hold

in the palm of your hand.

You give me such courage.

Thank you.

Come.

Go to sleep.

Don't be afraid.

There is someone beside me.

There is no one beside you.

You are all alone.

No. There is someone beside me.

Although I cannot see him,
I know he is here.

How do you know,
you old fool? [chuckling]

Because he speaks to me.

I hear his voice.

And what does he say?

He says,
"He who believes in Me,

though he may die,

he shall live.

I am the resurrection
and the life.

I shall walk beside you.

Always.

Always."

Don't listen to him.
Get on with it!

Don't be afraid.

I can't.

Think of me as already dead.

Nothing more can hurt me.

Not the thunder,

nor the deep swell
of the waves,

nor yet the tongues of fire.

I'm sorry.

[King Olaf] Don't be.

My lands are in order.

And I am ripe for heaven.

How?

How did King Harald
escape? Hmm?

[Ketill] These are
the settlers and their families

who have agreed
to journey with us.

That's good. That is good.
Thank you.

Thank all of you!

I am certain that you will
not regret this decision.

I am pleased to say my wife,
Ingvild, will come with us.

And my beloved son, Frodi.

[Ubbe] Ingvild, Frodi.

I am so happy you have made
a decision to come with us.

You are true Vikings.

You are all true Vikings!

[all cheer]

Come! Eat, drink, celebrate!

We should make
some sacrifice to the gods

so they may prosper
our voyage.

[crowd cheers]

What do you say, Othere?

You must do
what your gods expect.

My God expects nothing more
than my prayers and my belief
in His presence.

But your God is invisible.

Our gods,
they are all around us.

-They are here right now.
-[goat bleats]

I do not think he is a god.

[chuckles]

God is everywhere
and in everything.

Without Him, nothing is.

[Ubbe] I believe
in the Allfather.

The father of all gods.

And I believe that your God,
he recognizes the Allfather.

I remember all the ceremonies
in Wessex.

And in all those ceremonies,

your Christ reaches out
and prays to the Holy Father...

Allfather.

I know that
your divine Father and mine,

they're one and the same.

[door opens]

[Gunnhild] King Hakon!

How glad and thankful we are
to see you at such a time.

Messengers reached me.

I was summoned
in the name of Bjorn Ironside.

And when you are summoned
by a son of Ragnar Lothbrok,

then you come.

I heard news of the Rus attack
and the defeat
of King Harald Finehair.

I hope I am not too late
to help Bjorn defend Kattegat.

We cannot defend Kattegat.

Not unless more of Norway's
rulers answer his summons!

-But even so--
-[Hakon] Even so?

What is it?

[breathing heavily]

[Bjorn whispering]
You must forgive me

for not rising to welcome you,
King Hakon.

I... I didn't know.

I was wounded.

The most important thing
is that, when the Rus attack,

we have ways to repel them.

[Hakon] How large
is their army?

[Bjorn] Their army is vast.

And Ivar is with them.

Of course he is.

We will make plans.

It will not be so simple
and easy to defeat us.

We need you.

We need you to live.

To lead us.

Your name alone
is worth 100 warriors.

No, 1,000 warriors.

Please, for the love of Odin,

don't leave us.

[drums beating rhythmically]

-[Rus captain] Stay in line!
-[horse neighing]

Oleg will make me
a King of Norway,

perhaps King
of all Scandinavia.

But it will only be a name.

I won't really be King.

Oleg will have
all of the power.

Just as he has always had
all of the power over you,

even though you are the heir
to the whole Rus Empire.

That is how it is.

But how can we change it?

Things are as they are.
The world is as it is.

No.

[Rus captain]
Stay in line!

Nothing is ever permanent.

Everything is always
changing. Shifting.

What is real today
might not be real tomorrow.

But sometimes,
we have to help it to shift.

But how? Oleg is so powerful!

[Oleg] We must assess
the battlefield,
it's most important.

We will make common cause
with our friend Dir.

[Rus captain] Yes.
I will see to it at once.

We will have the forces
sufficient enough to overthrow
Prince Oleg.

[Oleg] I want my soldiers
to have every advantage.

But only if
the conditions are right.

Only if we have people
that we can trust
close to the throne.

[Igor] But who can we trust?

[Rus captain] Eyes forward!

Oleg is watching us.

[Rus captain] Stay in line!

[soldiers
chatting indistinctly]

What were you talking about
to my ward. Hmm?

We were discussing what
we are going to do after
we defeat Bjorn's forces.

Mmm.

Hvitserk has warned again
about underestimating Bjorn's
influence on events.

If he is still alive.

Well, Hvitserk's right.

We should attack
Kattegat by sea.

They will have
prepared for that.

We will attack by land

with such overwhelming force

that Bjorn's
already-shattered army

will be incapable of resisting,

whether or not
Bjorn is still alive.

You are very confident.

Well, Ganbaatar,
with captains like you,

great leaders like Prince Oleg,

the entire Rus army,
and Jesus Christ, Our Savior,
at our helm,

why should I not be confident?

Hmm?

[Bjorn grunting softly]

[grunts in pain]

[breathing heavily]

I think you may be with child.

I have lost two children,

and a third I hardly know.

I fear I will not live
to see our child.

Just as I will never be able

to make amends
for all my mistakes now.

All the wrongs I have done.

All the hurt I have caused.

I wish with all my heart
I could go back
and start again.

[Ingrid] You have loved
and been loved.

Accept the judgement
of the gods.

[Ingrid sobs]

My heart is breaking.

What are you hiding?

Hiding?

Yes.

Ketill said that Floki left
before you went on your voyage,

but that is not true.

Floki gave you his ring.

Perhaps you should ask
Ketill what happened.

I am not asking Ketill.

I think that you will
tell me the truth

if your God is watching.

Indeed! Oh!

-Come.
-Let's come back later,
shall we?

The other family,
Eyvind's family.

Is it something
to do with them?

How can we travel together
if we do not trust each other?

[sighs] Ketill and his son...

[Eyvind] Please!

...killed Eyvind and his whole
family in cold blood.

And Ketill had a beautiful,
wise daughter

called Aud,
who killed herself

because she could not live
knowing what her father
had done.

She loved him
for being a good man.

Now all she saw was a monster.

Do you think he is a monster?

[somber music playing]

[dog barking]

[breathing heavily]

They are here.

The Rus.

Our scouts have spotted them.
They are coming over-ground.

They will soon arrive
at Kattegat.

You have prepared?

[Erik] I have done everything
I possibly could.

The arrival of King Hakon
and his forces have helped

but we are still
massively outnumbered.

I suppose we can only hope
to delay their final victory.

So, you have just given up?

There is no use in pretending.

The situation is bad.

Made worse
because you will not be
there to lead any attack--

[shushes]

Have you forgotten the gods?

What is my name or yours,
compared to that of Odin
and Thor?

Do you suppose
they will just sit idly by

as they watch followers
of the false Christ God

slaughter and slay
their children,

and cast their singing bones
to the wind?

You are no true believer!

Why don't you just walk
out of the gate, surrender?

Is that what we have come to?

Is that how our world will end?

[groans]

Forgive me.

I am not worthy to be mentioned
in the same breath as you.

But I promise I will give you
no more cause to be ashamed
of me.

Forgive me.

This is yours.

My King.

[indistinct chatter]

[speaking in native tongue]

[in English] Sword.

This is King Hakon of Norway.

He has something to tell you.

Go ahead.

They're at the gates.

But neither of us should lie.

You are dying, my love.

Your life slips away.

You can have no part in this.

Death is on its way.

Don't weep.

[wheezing]

Listen.

Who can tell the saga
of Bjorn Ironside?

Perhaps only Odin,
his ancestor.

But unworthy as I am,
it falls to me.

Bjorn Ironside is dead.

Are you sure?

Yes. I saw the body
with my own eyes.

His wives are lamenting
over it.

There is great sorrow
in Kattegat.

[Gunnhild] They say
the hearts of women are
turned on a whirling wheel,

but my heart belonged to him.

And when he died,
the High One cried aloud.

I don't understand.
Why have you come here
to tell us?

Great Prince, Invincible Ruler,
I throw myself upon your mercy!

Spare me and I will serve you
gladly all the days of my life.

[Gunnhild] I knew him as a man.

I knew his weaknesses,
and I knew his strengths.

But if you ask me,

will we ever see
his likes again,

I would say no.

Farewell, Bjorn Ironside.

Farewell.

Look after our guest.

[chokes]

[Oleg] Spread the good news.

Let everyone rejoice.

The great hero is dead.

Kattegat is at our mercy.

[speaking in native tongue]

[continues speaking
in native tongue]

[in English] Perhaps we should
have made a sacrifice.

I think a sacrifice
has already been made.

[soldiers murmuring]

[wheezes]

[indistinct panicked chatter]

[speaking in native tongue]

[gasps and wheezes]

[Gunnhild]
I knew him as a man.

I knew his weakness
and his strength.

But if you ask me, will we ever
see his like again...

I would say no.

[speaking in native tongue]

[indistinct panicked chatter]

[in English]
I need you to help me
put my armor on one last time.

And fetch my sword.

Please.

It's impossible.

I told you, Ivar,
you can't kill him.

He's not a god.

[Hvitserk] Neither are you.

[men shouting indistinctly]

[gasps]

[horn blows]

[Gunnhild] And so it happened,

as my saga will tell,

the Kings and Queens,
the Jarls and Earls of Norway

answered the summons
of Bjorn Ironside,

and came to save their country.

For he was truly
the King of all Norway,

and no one else
could have united

all his people

and brought them
to victory over the Rus.

[all shouting]

[shouts in native tongue]

[Ivar in English] Retreat!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

[groans and grunts]

[grunting]

[both grunting]

[groans]

Farewell, my brother.

It gladdens me to know
that Odin makes ready

the benches for a feast.

Soon you will be drinking ale
from curved horns.

The Valkyries summon you home.

[Gunnhild] Even in death,

Bjorn Ironside was victorious.

Which is one reason his name
will never be forgotten,

nor will they ever cease
to sing of his exploits.

He was the son of Ragnar,

but in some ways
even greater than Ragnar,

as the Seer foretold.

The man who could not die
is buried here.

But is still alive.

Farewell, Bjorn Ironside.

Farewell, my love.

Farewell.

Until we meet again.
