(IF I HAD A HEART PLAYING)

(SHOUTING)

(PANTING)

How far to Hexham?

It's not far.

(GASPS)

Are you sure?

Yes!

Ragnar! Rollo!

Let's attack straightaway.

No.

We attack tomorrow.

Why wait?

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)
It is a large town.

We have only a few men.

Then surprise is
our biggest advantage.

Arne.

What day is it today?

Saturday.

Then we attack tomorrow.

Why?
You will understand tomorrow.

AELLE: Who were
these strangers?

I cannot say.

Their ship was sighted
sailing up the coast.

It was a ship unlike any other.

They were not Franks then?

No. They looked very different and used axes.

Most were as tall as giants.

WIGEA:
Sire, I fear that these raiders are the same pagans

who attacked the monastery at Lindisfarne.

It is the letter Abbot Alcuin wrote to you
of those terrible events.

"They came to the church at Lindisfarne.

"Laid everything waste
with grievous plundering.

"Trampled the holy place
with polluted steps.

"Dug up the altars

"and seized all the treasure of the holy church.

"They killed
some of the brothers,

"took some away
with them in fetters,

"some they drowned in the sea."

Where do they come from,
these pagans?

Some say from the north.

Well, wherever they come from,

they are not welcome
in my kingdom.

(GASPS)

(CHUCKLES)

Take care today.

Don't take any foolish risks.

And don't get separated from the others.

I was just going to say the same thing to you, my love.

Enough of that talk.

It's getting light,
and we've wasted too much time already.

We must wait a little longer.

Wait?
What for?

LOTHBROK: Just wait!

For what?

And listen!

(SIGHS)

I don't hear anything.

Well, what are you waiting for?

WOMAN: Get out of the way!

In the name of God,
who are you?

Why have you come here?

This is a place of God.

If you do not resist,
we will not hurt you.

Tell that to your
people, priest.

Tell them not to be afraid.

God bless.

He raped a Saxon woman.

Did anyone else see it happen?

That's a pity.

And where were you?

LOTHBROK: Close the wall!

Shield wall!

(IN NATIVE TONGUE)

Go!

How could this happen,
My Lord Wigea?

Sire, I have never in my life seen men fight

as these northmen fight.

Believe me, there's something devilish
in the way they look,

in their lack of fear
in the face of death.

My Lord, that is just
a counsel of despair.

Are these pagans
not men, like we are?

Do they not bleed
when they are cut?

Or do they have wings
and tongues of fire?

No, sire.

Who are they?

We captured two of them who were guarding their boat.

We couldn't understand anything they said at all,

except one word.

Ragnar.

Ragnar.

Do you have any family, priest?

I had four brothers
and a sister.

They all died of a fever,
like my mother and father.

I was only saved because they had me placed in a monastery

when I was just a child.

They had too many
mouths to feed.

So you are alone?

No.

God is my father,
so I am never alone.

What does your god look like?

No one can know what
God looks like.

It would be like
looking into the sun.

It cannot be done.

But he did send his only son
to live on the Earth

and he looked like a man.

Odin, Thor and Loki
are like men,

or are they your gods?

They aren't gods.

They don't exist.

Bjorn.

Death was on its way
to take Kauko.

Don't grieve for him.
Don't pity him.

Guess where he is now?

Valkyries have taken him home to Valhalla.

Right at this moment he is...

He is drinking ale
with the gods.

Yes.

He is happier than even we are.

With our boat and...

These goods.

Even so, he was my kinsman.

We must avenge his death.

It was done in the name of King Aelle,

and King Aelle
must suffer for it.

One day, he will.

If the gods will it.

(SIGHS)

(GROANS)

Look at him,

he's wetting himself.

You kept your word.

You took us to the town,
and I thank you for that.

Drink.

You want to live?

(GROANS)

BJORN: I want to go
to Kattegat.

I want to see my father return soon.

He must return soon.

I gave your father my word
that I would look after you both here.

You are not looking after us.

We look after ourselves.

I cannot allow you to go
on your own to Kattegat.

Your father would never tolerate such a thing.

Then we should go together.

The three of us.

And who will then
look after the farm?

For what we are
about to receive,

may the Lord make
us truly grateful.

Amen.

Can I have some ale?

You're too young,
Gyda, to drink ale.

I want to make
a sacrifice to Thor,

for my father's safe return.

What will you sacrifice?

You!

Where are you, Lord?

Tell me.

Is it your will that I am here with these heathens?

How does it serve you?

I don't understand.

And for the first time
in my life,

I am angry with you.

You allow my brothers
to be slaughtered and sold.

Is this really your will?

For the first time,

I feel lonely.

Where are you, Lord?

Where are you?

And why don't you answer me?

(SOFT RUSTLING)

It's just an owl.

Bjorn.

Bjorn, wake up.

(SIGHS) What is it?

We'll go to Kattegat.
All of us, tomorrow.

MAN: Kattegat!

(YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

Ragnar Lothbrok, my friend,

how was your voyage?

Successful, I hope,

for all our sakes.

(METAL CLANGING)

The Saxons attacked us when we returned to the boat,

in great force,

but we defeated them!
(ALL CHEERING)

You are the man that
people say you are.

A great adventurer,

and I am happy to salute
your achievements

and to share in the profit of your raid.

But I don't see
my friend, Knut.

Where is he?

Knut is dead.

Dead?

Did he die in battle?

No.

Then how did he die?

I killed him.

You killed him.

For what reason?

Because he tried
to rape my wife,

Lagertha.

I find it too convenient

that you would make an excuse

to kill my friend

and my agent on your voyage.

What did you think that you would gain
by getting rid of him?

I didn't expect
to gain anything.

I don't believe you.

Arrest him!
(ALL GRUNTING)

My Lord!

For your wife, Siggy, would have you not done the same?

I would counsel you all
against such actions.

There is no way
you could prevail.

Floki.

Bring him away.

LAGERTHA: Ragnar! Ragnar!

You summoned me, Lord?

Yes, I want to talk to you.

Please, sit. Drink.

It's... (CLEARS THROAT)

It's a delicate matter.

You...

You are the brother of Ragnar Lothbrok, are you not?

I am.

A spirited man, your brother.

Is he a fair man?

Does he treat you equally
when you sail with him?

Up to a point.

Forgive me, but I think
that he likes to rule you.

And that whatever he says,

in actual fact,
he considers himself to be first among equals.

Am I correct?

I get the impression
that he wants

to take the credit
for everything.

For building the boat,
for sailing west.

He wants to be the hero.

Is that what it comes down to?

To him?

Would he have achieved
what he has achieved

if it wasn't for you?

What do you say, Rollo?

Of course not.

It would have been impossible.

As long as I am Earl,

Ragnar Lothbrok
can give you nothing.

I, on the other hand,
can give you a great deal.

I could, for example,
confiscate the treasure

that you brought
back from England.

And offer you
a goodly portion of it.

Would you do that, Lord?

I might.

Depends.

On what would it depend?

Your ambition.

You want to stand out.

You want to be someone, Rollo.

You want the gods
to notice you, yes?

They would have
noticed me already.

Oh, no, my friend.
And do you know why?

Because you still walk in the shadow of Ragnar Lothbrok.

Don't you think it's time
you stepped out from it,

and let the gods see you
for who you really are?

Oh.

I want you to say
hello to somebody.

This is my daughter, Thyri.

She is soon to get married,

and I must think very carefully about her future husband.

He must be a man of ambition and prospect,

as you can understand.

I used to have two boys,
but they were killed.

So the man that I choose
to be my son-in-law

will hold a high
and special place,

as if he were my own son.

Thyri, say hello to Rollo.

Hello.

Hello.

Don't forget about me, my love.

Oh, yes.

And this is Siggy, my wife.

This is Rollo.

He is the brother
of Ragnar Lothbrok.

Hello, Rollo.

I have heard a lot about you.

They say that you
are a great warrior.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

SVEIN: Bring in the prisoner.

WOMAN 1: That murderer!

WOMAN 2: Free him!
Free Ragnar!

Look at him!
He's in chains.

It's all right, boy.

We are all aware of the sacred nature of our duty here.

You stand before us accused of the willful murder

of Knut, my brother.

Knut, as some of you may know,

was the bastard son
of my father.

But I loved him

like a brother.

I asked Knut

to go with Ragnar Lothbrok to England,

where they raided a town and brought back many spoils.

And while they were
raiding this town,

Ragnar Lothbrok
took it upon himself

to cold-bloodedly
kill my brother.

It's easy to imagine why a man like this
would do such a thing.

This is an ambitious man.

He doesn't care
to share his spoils.

And he resents the fact

that he owes me loyalty and obedience,
as his chieftain.

This is a man who does not believe in our traditions.

(CROWD MURMURING)

This is a man who does not believe in our laws.

(CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Silence! Silence!

What do you have to say,

when you stand before us,
and know that you must tell the truth?

It is true that I killed Knut.

Sadly, your brother.

But I killed him

when I found him
trying to rape my wife.

I ask all of you free men,

what would have you done
if you were in my place?

Would have you just stood back,

encouraged the culprit?

(CROWD MURMURING)

I don't think you would.

And even if I had've known at the time

he was your brother,

I would have carried out
the same sentence.

Do you seriously ask us
to believe your story?

I can confirm the story.

You are the wife
of Ragnar Lothbrok?

I am, Lord.

How extraordinary that
you happened to be there

at the same time.
(CROWD LAUGHING)

Your husband is lying.

And you are so under his thumb

that he has persuaded
you to lie for him.

May Thor strike you dead!

(CROWD CLAMORING)

What did you say?

My husband did not kill Knut Tjodolf.

Then who did?
I did!

I killed him.

I stabbed him in the heart
when he tried his best to rape me.

A murder is committed

and the only witnesses
are a husband and his wife.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Unfortunately, we can't tell
who committed the crime,

because they both
claim credit for it.

You didn't kill my brother.

Look at you, how could you?

He killed my brother.

Ragnar Lothbrok
killed my brother.

We have proof.

We have a witness
to the killing.

SVEIN:
You say you are a witness to the death of Knut Tjodolf?

Yes.

SVEIN: You'll swear this
upon your arm ring?

Yes, I was there.

I saw everything.

So, who killed my brother?

Ragnar Lothbrok killed him.

In cold blood?

No, Lord.

For a good reason.

What Ragnar Lothbrok
has sworn is true.

Your half-brother was caught
raping a Saxon woman.

Then he attempted to rape
Ragnar's lawful wife,

Lagertha, the shield-maiden.

So unfortunately,

you cannot punish him.

Now, who has the key?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Come, Bjorn.
Like father, like son.

(ALL LAUGHING)

It seems I owe you
an eternal debt.

I know.

And I look forward
to collecting it.

Let's drink a toast to Ragnar!

To his future and his freedom!

No, no, no, no.

To friends and freedom!

ALL: To friends and freedom!

MAN: To you, my friend!

You'll never be free of us!

Will you drink with me?

Of course.

Thank you for taking care of my children.

You're a good Christian.

(CHUCKLES)

I wanted to say thank you.

You did a fine
good thing, Rollo.

I hope the gods were watching.

I didn't do it for him.

I did it for you,
shield-maiden.

I don't want to believe that.

So, Ragnar!

Did you see Haraldson's face
when he had to acquit you

and then give you
half his hoard?

He looked like this!

(CHOKING)
(ALL LAUGHING)

(SIGHS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

MAN: Ragnar Lothbrok?

I am unarmed.

Get the children.

(ALL SHOUTING)

Hurry!

(SOBBING)

Father.

(GRUNTS)

SEER: Stones and bones.

Stones and bones.

HARALDSON: What do you read?

Wait. Not so impatient, Lord.

Tell me.

Ask me a question.

(STAMMERS) Are the
signs threatening?

Yes.

There is a quarrel.

There will be violence.

Bones and skulls broken.
I see that.

What is Ragnar doing
sitting on the hillside?

He searches for your death.

Consults the gods to whom he claims kinship.

(SCOFFS)

Who could believe such a thing?

Does he desire to be Earl?

If he kills you,
will it not be so?

Do the gods speak?

Do they ever stop?

Gods have always
been favorable to me.

They allowed your sons to die.

Do the gods

really exist?

(CHUCKLES)

I know what he's doing.

He's preparing himself.
