Ivar, what is it?

Where is Harbard?

I don't know.

You have to find him.

Ivar is suffering so badly.
I can't bear it!

Why can't you look after
your own child?

I am here.

Ivar.

There is no more pain, Ivar.

No. No more pain.

That's right.

Very sleepy, Ivar.

You're getting very sleepy.

There's no more pain.

Go to sleep.

Who are you?

You know who I am.

No, I don't.

You have such power.

Are you a god?

I wish.

For who would not wish
for such a thing?

Porunn.

Porunn.

So much for Rollo,
the warrior.

The hammer to the cross.

Where is your soul?

Where is your belief?

Floki, forget it.

This...

This is the future.

We cannot fight everyone.

There must be cooperation,

alliances just as
there are among the gods.

That is the way forward.

Well, well.

It seems that the magic
of your Christian baptism

has worked after all.

You said the whole
thing was a joke.

Perhaps
you took it seriously.

You know very well
it was a joke.

No.

I can see that you have all drunk
from the poisoned chalice!

And the joke,
Rollo, is on you!

I see you are
still suffering.

I can make it better.

How?

Lie back.

What are you doing?

I suppose
I should thank you.

I suppose that
maybe you should.

I may have just
saved your life.

Your brother is weak.

He is just a puppet.

And he will be
your downfall.

I know what you think
about Ecbert.

Do you believe him?

Should I not?

He has always acted
in his own interests.

He wants power
over me and over Mercia.

I did not fight for him.

I fought for my people,

and for you.

How is your wound?

It still hurts.

Do you need to lie back?

Wait!

Where are you going?

Out.

Where? With whom?

It is not your concern.

Oh, it is my concern,

since you are once again
leaving your children behind.

I know they will
be safe with you.

Are you going with him?

Just look after my children,
it's all I ask.

No.

What are you trying to do?

I am trying to save you.

It is not just the children.

You have other
responsibilities.

Ragnar has left Kattegat
in your care.

There are folk
who are waiting to see you.

There are important
matters to decide.

Let go of your queen.

Then I will do it.

I will accept
the responsibility.

There was another
place I went to once.

A place called Oslo Fjord.

I heard a story about
a king who was killed

and all his family massacred.

But his wife, Astrid,

she escaped and fled to an
island in the middle of a lake.

She gave birth to a son.

She survived with the help of her
foster father, Forolf Lousebeard.

"Forolf Lousebeard"?
That was his name.

I'm not making it up.

Anyway...

I was smuggled
onto the island,

and I was
introduced to Astrid.

She was the most beautiful
woman I had ever seen.

And she was a nymphomaniac.

She needed a lot of sex.

She had reservations about
sleeping with her foster father.

She did not want to be
covered with lice.

Exactly.

I was forced
to sleep with her.

Forced?

I heard later that nine months
after I left the island,

she gave birth to
a second son called Olaf.

Now this Olaf is Grand Duke
of Kiev and all Russia.

And he is your son?

I am sure of it.

I am forever in your debt.

What you have done
for my son is...

Is what I would do
for any suffering creature.

Like you.

Me?

I am not suffering.

Yes.

Your husband is
a long way away,

and you fear he no longer
loves or desires you.

How do you know?

Remove your clothes.

It is cold.

Then go back
to your children.

I do not want to be
with my children.

What will King Ecbert
do to me?

He will do nothing to you,

so long as I protect you
and Ragnar protects me.

Ecbert must hide
his power behind

a legitimate heir to
the throne of Mercia.

Then he will not
have me killed.

No,

he will not
have you killed.

Burgred, you and I will be joint
rulers to the throne of Mercia.

Does that not
excite you, hmm?

The Mercians may
quarrel against us.

No, they will not.

Behind us are the iron fists of
both Wessex and the Northmen.

Do you see?

Then we will be prisoners
of Ecbert and Ragnar.

I suppose.

But better prisoners
than dead, hmm?

Prisoners can always escape.

It is not his fault.

No, you are right.

It's someone else's fault.

Who's that?

Is it not clear to you,
Bjorn Ironside?

Who brought the Christ god
into our lives?

Floki says we have
betrayed our gods

to serve a Christian king
and a Christian god.

Unlike Floki, I do not think
I can speak for the gods.

All I know is that
my desires and ambitions

for our people
have never changed.

And now that I am King,

I must try
to bring them about.

What limits did Odin
put upon his curiosity?

Who can say?

Exactly.

So unless I seek
out those limits,

I cannot say that
I have honored his spirit.

Floki threatens me with Odin,

but I would not be ashamed
to meet the god face-to-face.

When Ragnar returns, I am sure
he will stay but a short time

before sailing back home.

He is, after all, a king.

But you could stay.

To what purpose,
King Ecbert?

Well, surely,

someone must stay to make sure that
the new settlement is successful,

the first harvest
safely gathered.

Someone will stay
to do that.

But even if I am not a king,
I am an earl.

I must return
to look after my people.

It is fine and it is good
to talk of responsibilities,

but there are
other things in life.

What if I asked you
personally to stay?

Do you understand
my meaning?

I understand.

And I've enjoyed
your company.

And the sex.

Even so,

although you have made me
happy and fulfilled,

I have come to understand that

the only person
you truly care for

is yourself.

There.

It's done.

I am glad.

I love you.

Do you love me?

Yes, I love you.

Father.

My son.

No father could be prouder.

Welcome, and
congratulations, Aethelwulf.

You truly deserve our thanks,
and our praise.

Your wife has missed you
beyond endurance.

I have often come across
her in the chapel,

weeping and privately praying to
God for your safe and sure return.

Judith.

Princess.

Ah. Come.

Sire.

Sire, this is my
young brother, Burgred.

He says that the campaign
against us was no fault of his.

Well, I am glad to hear it.

Welcome, Burgred, to Wessex.

Sire, my sister has told me you are a
most generous and forgiving monarch.

I throw myself completely
at your mercy.

No, no, no.

I meant what I said.
You are most welcome.

Please join us to feast and celebrate
the happy future of Mercia.

You see, I told you.
Come, come.

Ragnar Lothbrok.

Forgive me if
I do not kiss your hand.

I would not
expect it from you.

As I've told you before,
we are equals, you and I.

How is the settlement?

Well, if you want to know
the answer to that question,

you had better
ask Earl Ingstad.

You're wounded.

Ah, yes. But...

But Princess Kwenthrith
gave me some of her medicine.

How is the settlement?

It's working. We have
planted the first crop.

King Ecbert gave us
a new plow, and

always assured us
of his protection.

And you believed him?

Yes.

So it seems you two
got on well, then.

Yes.

For the sake of all of us.

Ah.

So you sacrificed yourself
for the common good.

Hmm.

As did you, Ragnar.

I'm hungry.

Hello, brother.

I don't like you.

Oh!

Oh, my son! Alive and well.

Where's Porunn?

Is she not with you?

They are taking care of her.

Is she hurt?
Yes.

She should never
have been in battle.

She wanted to be like you.

You should be happy.

Your husband and the father of your
child has returned home alive.

And yet I never saw a woman
look so miserable.

I am very happy
Aethelwulf has returned.

Why would I not be?

Then, Daughter, show it.

The success of our alliance
with Wessex rests upon you.

Not on your shoulders,
but on your womb.

Thankfully, you have
already delivered a son.

Hopefully more will follow.

Then our dynasty
will be secured.

Respect me, your father.
Respect your husband.

And do what is
required of you.

If I never made that clear
to you before,

I make it clear to you now.

Porunn.

Hello, Bjorn.

Are you enjoying yourself?

There must be a feast.

Why don't you talk to me?

Poor Bjorn.

You won't want
to marry me now, will you?

Don't say that.

Forgive me, Earl Kalf.

There is something
we must earnestly consider.

And what must I
so earnestly consider?

At some point,
if she still lives,

Lagertha will return
from the raid.

And she will bring with her
most of our young warriors,

hardened by battle,

perhaps enriched by spoils.

And, I assume, loyal to her.

Do you really suppose that
I have not considered that?

Do you really think,
poor Einar,

that I have not
prepared for that?

I have invited someone here
to join us.

A very significant
person indeed.

And he will arrive here
very soon.

Very soon.

What are you two
whispering about?

Where is our mother?

Your mother goes to Harbard

because of your brother Ivar.

Ivar needs your mother
more than you do,

and Harbard helps her
to look after him.

Someday, Ubbe,
you will understand

what a mother has to sacrifice
for her children.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

They'll be all right.

Where are Ubbe and Hvitserk?

They went out.

I don't know
why I feel frightened.

I have to find them.

Hey, Ivar.

Ubbe!

Hvitserk!

Stop!

Stop!

Ubbe, stop.

Ubbe.

Hvitserk, stop!

Floki?

What are you doing out here?

I came to talk to the gods.

They are angry, Rollo.

And I'm so afraid that we must
one day choose between them

and your brother.

For me,
it will never come to that.

Athelstan.

My friend.

The battle for Mercia is won.

But not yet the settlement.
Stay. Stay, both of you.

Oversee your future.

What could be more important?

I have told you
my decision.

Perhaps Athelstan
will stay.

Will you?

I'm not sure.

I've not discussed it
with Ragnar.

Mmm. Or with Judith.

My daughter-in-law
has grown fond of you.

I know it. She has told me.

She sometimes uses you
as a confessor.

If you go,
she will miss you.

As indeed will I.

They are trying
to make you stay?

Yes.

There is something
between you and that girl?

Yes.

You don't understand.

Nobody understands.

We're all free to do
as we please.

Are we still talking
about women?

Mmm.

Why do you stare at me?

Because you interest me.

And...

And you attract me.

They say you will
go home with Ragnar.

Your husband is back.

I gave myself to you.

Please don't leave me.

Hello, Rollo.

Lagertha.

You conquered Mercia.

So it seems.

No, more than seems.

I heard of your exploits.

I also heard about Porunn.

Mmm.

Poor Bjorn.

Yes.

Poor Bjorn.

You don't care?

Of course I care.

Anything to do with you,
I care about.

I have a feeling that all the way through
his life you have looked after Bjorn.

You have looked after him

almost as if he was
your own son.

Speak on.

I have nothing more to say.

And probably that is better.

So, once again, Athelstan,
you have to make a choice.

Will you go back with Ragnar
Lothbrok or will you stay with us?

I have made up my mind.

I will go back with Ragnar.

All my future lies
with Ragnar.

I think that is
the wrong decision.

And I doubt its wisdom.

For in your heart, your true
heart, you are one of us,

and you always will be.

So, you left your earldom.

Are you not afraid?

No, I have a good man
who looks after it for me.

Why should I be afraid?

All men are ambitious.

Not Kalf.

Earl Kalf.

Mmm.
Earl Kalf.

What is it?

Your guests have arrived.

Erlendur, son of Horik.

How gladly we welcome you
to our hall.

How impatiently I have
awaited your coming.

I'm most grateful for
your invitation, Earl Kalf.

I believe with all my heart that
you and I are natural allies.

Yes! Against the Lothbroks
and all their kith and kin.

And we have
another natural ally.

You may recall that Ragnar blood
eagled his enemy, Jarl Borg.

But he forgot to kill
Jarl Borg's wife,

who subsequently gave birth
to a son,

and who is now my wife.

Come, Torvi.

Good day to you, Earl Kalf.

Good day to you, Torvi.

And to your son,

the legitimate heir
of the great Jarl Borg.

What will you
do with Mercia?

I will crown Kwenthrith and her
brother Burgred as joint rulers.

That makes sense.

You see how they feel for one another.
Why choose between them?

They will not rule
in any case.

Then who will,
Ragnar Lothbrok?

You will.

For you have
given them the crown.

Well, the important thing for me is that
there will be stability in the region.

The important thing for you is that
Wessex will have power in Mercia.

Actually, the really important
thing for me

is that your settlement
is a success.

You've helped me
in my conquest for Mercia,

and I've helped you
to establish a settlement

in the very heart
of my kingdom.

If you remember, it was one of the
first things we ever talked about.

I remember it very well.

You and I,

we understand each other.

That is why we are allies,
and will remain so.

Do you think
you're a good man?

Yes.

I think so.

Are you a good man?

Yes.

I think so.

Are you corrupt?

Oh, yes.

Are you?
Mmm-hmm.

My dear brother,
my dear Burgred,

before all these people,
before King Ecbert of Wessex,

King Ragnar
and King Aelle of Northumbria,

let me say that I have
made peace with my past.

I have come to terms
with my family,

with all the violence
visited upon me.

And now at last
I am free from my anger,

saved from my nightmares.

And, finally, I know who I am.

And so, my dear,

let us celebrate our alliance,

and drink to victory
over my abusers.

My dear sister,
you have saved me.

I love you.

How I've always loved you.

Yes.

Salutations, my love.

Burgred!

My lords,
ladies and gentlemen,

please rise and raise your cups to
the sole and only ruler of Mercia.

To the Queen of Mercia.

To the Queen.

To the Queen.

Why so quiet?

Nothing to talk about?

Not with you, perhaps.

So you are tired
of me already?

Not to worry. It is time
for me to be on my way.

I am never anywhere too long.

I'm too restless.

The boy is well.

In future, I doubt he will
suffer such pains as before.

I've taken some of his pains
upon myself.

And your friend Siggy,
she's also very happy.

She's with her husband,
sons, daughter in Valhalla.

If you don't believe me,
you could ask the Seer.

Farewell then.

Who are you?

Just a wanderer.
