I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred. I released the slave Guthred | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
and saw him crowned King of Cumbraland. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
I fell in love with his sister while commanding his troops. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
I wish to be seen as Sigefrid's equal. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
I ask that you offer your sister in marriage. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
He behaves as if HE were king! | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
To defeat Kjartan the Cruel, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
an alliance was formed with the brothers Erik and Sigefrid. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
Kjartan's land will become your land. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
To peace. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
But Guthred's counsellors saw me as a threat | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
and wanted Christian men in the army. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
He believes himself to be above each one of us. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
And so a secret bargain was made with my uncle. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
200 spears. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
In return I shall require the head of Osbert. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
What are you doing? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
Guthred showed clemency, but still betrayed me. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
You will become a slave, Uhtred, and Halig with you. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
King Alfred freed my brother Ragnar to rescue me. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
But he was too late. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
-Argh! -You belong to me now. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Destiny is all. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
This programme contains some violent scenes. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:05 | |
Pull, you bastards! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Hyah! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
Pull, we need to fly! Pull! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
HE COUGHS | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
It's like looking out of a grave. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
That will not be our fate... I swear to you. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
You think these bastards will bother digging a hole for you? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
We are destined to be tossed overboard | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
with the rest of the shite. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
I'll tell you, Finan, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
it would be my own bad luck if I got tossed overboard alive. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
I can't swim. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
Never give up, Halig. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
Shut your mouth back there! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Never give in. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
You don't speak, slave. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
You pull! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Yes, men! We pull! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
And... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
ALL: Pull! Pull! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
Pull! Pull! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:32 | |
One day, Osbert, I will kill that bastard and savour it. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
200 spears as promised. A man of his word. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
It would seem. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
We can lay a siege to Dunholm as early as tomorrow. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
The unified armies of Guthred, Aelfric, the two brothers, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
we march on Dunholm. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
We show Kjartan our numbers. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
We stand fast. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
We starve Kjartan of water, food...life itself. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:43 | |
How did he die? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
Who? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Uhtred, Lord. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
His name is Osbert. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Did he shit his britches? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Did he beg for mercy? I want to know. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Uhtred would never beg. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
-Your queen? -No. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
She has a free tongue, Lord Aelfric. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
She will say nothing more. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Well, I wish to see it. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
My nephew's head. Where is it? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Where it has always been. On his shoulders. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Rest assured that Uhtred is as good as dead. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
As good as dead? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Then he is still alive? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
For the siege of Dunholm, we agreed 200 spears, for his head. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:32 | |
-That was the bargain. -Lord, he is a ship's slave. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
In reality, Osbert's been given a fate far, far worse than death. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
You must understand - Uhtred saved my life. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
He was my friend. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
-Your friend? -Yes. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
Lord, I swear, you shall never hear from him again. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Perhaps I should make an ally of Kjartan, once again. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
Maybe he will succeed where you have so wilfully failed. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
All I required was a single, lifeless head. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
Lord, may I suggest that you rest? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Aidan, how many days have we been marching? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
-Six days, Lord. -And you should rest. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Six days for no reward! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Lord, rest. Eat. Drink. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
There must be something we can do or offer to make this right. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
Lord Aelfric, you will have gathered by now that my brother is part fool. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:28 | |
You should have nothing more to do with him. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
My sister has humour... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
and a tongue! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-We leave tomorrow. -Lord, I beg you... -My business here is over. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
Goodbye, Lord Aelfric, so nice to meet you. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
Enjoy the long walk home to Bebbanburg. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Guthred, by saving Uhtred, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
what you now have is a chaos of your own making. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Chaos. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
If Aelfric is not with us then the ground has shifted. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
We'll take no part in the siege of Dunholm. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Erik, we must! We have an agreement, we have plans. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
That will no longer involve the brothers. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
No Dunholm means we must again fight for our wealth. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Sigefrid, we do have a peace. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
We DO have a peace! | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
Lord, we are in need of an ally. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
You must offer your sister. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
The horses are ready? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
They are, Lady. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
Sihtric, I choose you because you are loyal to Lord Uhtred. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
Always, Lady. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
You will give this note to Hild when she returns. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
She will return. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
How long will you be gone, Lady? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
All I know is that I cannot stay. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
We are Wessex, of course, and to our north lies Mercia, our allies. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
Mm-hmm, and to the east? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Danelaw. Above is Northumbria and Cumbraland, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
where pagans rule and threaten our Christian brothers. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
And beyond the Great Wall is the kingdom that they call Alba, | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
where it is cold and wild. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Good. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
And what do we call everything south of the wall? | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
That will one day be England. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
Aethelflaed, it would cost a great deal of both blood and silver | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
to conquer these lands, even more to hold the ground. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
And so alliances must be forged. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Unions made. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
I am to be married? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Once a suitable match has been made. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
I am ready to do my duty. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
VILLAGER SCREAMS | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
There is a beauty to a burning village. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
It's like you said - chaos. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
SHE PANTS | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
I wish to be known as Sigefrid... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
..Lord of Chaos. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
Quickly, come on. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
Sister Hild and company, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
what is your purpose? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
We're here on the orders of Alfred of Wessex. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
I want to see King Guthred. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
You are a Dane. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
I am Earl Ragnar Ragnarson. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
This is the warrior Steapa, Alfred's man. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
Alfred sends greeting to King Guthred. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
And Guthred's sister, Lady Gisela. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Is she here? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
I would like to see her. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
She is not. She did abandon the city. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
-Where to? -I have yet to find out, but I shall find out. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
You are his brother? You're Uhtred's brother. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
It is Guthred. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
I am, Lord. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
Alfred sent you to do what? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
To find Uhtred. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
He is in Uhtred's debt and will not see him harmed. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
Uhtred is lost. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:08 | |
I'm truly sorry to say that. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
My apologies to both you and to Alfred. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
There, you've had a wasted journey. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Rest, please, here, by all means... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
You will tell me the name of the man who took Uhtred. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
I...I need to gather my thoughts. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Lord, I wish to know the name of the slaver. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
If you are truly sorry, | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
you will tell me and where to find him. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Uhtred is indeed lost. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
Bail, you dogs! | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Release our chains! We'll work faster. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
Bail out or you'll go down with her! | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
You want to live? You bail! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
I pray God will keep him safe, Lady. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
HE GRUNTS AND BREATHES HEAVILY | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Osbert, he will not stop bailing. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Rest. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:19 | |
You will need your strength. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
I am happy enough to bail. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
Hey! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
COMPETING MEN GRUNT | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Oh. Oh, you think you're better than these men? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
They are property. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
As are you. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
You should let go of your pride. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
It will be the death of you. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
Rest. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:54 | |
He's right, you should rest. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
We're wasting away, you and I. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
We should be saving what's left of our strength to run. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
But to run we'll need skin on our feet and not rotting flesh. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Then we should bail. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
These wretches all tell the same story, Lord. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
They flee slaughter at the hands of the brothers. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
We must surely be next. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
And what do I do? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:46 | |
Do I fight? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
Do I now march against the brothers? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
It is not my place to instruct a king in the ways of war. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
I am asking for your counsel! | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
I am without a commander of my guard. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Then I would say we need first to secure grain enough | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
for the winter to feed these wretches. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
And I would say we need Lord Aelfric of Bebbanburg, now more than ever. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
We would appreciate some water, for ourselves and the horses. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
It's yours. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:26 | |
-You are Jonis? -I am. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
I've been told that you took a man, a warrior, from Guthred of Eoferwic. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
You sold him as a slave. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
I see the faces of so many creatures. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-I'm not here to open your belly, Jonis. -Not yet. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
I'll pay you. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Here. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
You will not feed the slaves! | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
And you will not bark like a great, fat hound! | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
You said you will pay? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
Yes, I did. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
A warrior slave, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
called himself Osbert. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
There was another man. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Smaller, Saxon. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-A sea trader named Sverri took them both. -Where is Sverri now? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
Wherever the sea and promise of silver takes him. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
Life at the oar is hard and short. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Sverri will return, I'm sure, refresh his crew. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-When? -Autumn and winter will pass. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
But, come spring, the first full moon after Sigrblot, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
we will gather for business at the beach. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Sverri will be there, I swear. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
And between that time he sails where? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
His ships plough the roughest sea. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-He could be any place. -You tell us nothing. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
I tell you what I know to be true. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
All you can do is watch the beaches and wait. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
Saxon dogs! | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
Move it. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
(It's East Anglia.) | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
It could well be Frankia. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
Drink water. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
-I need land. -Yes. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Lord, I need land. I need to get out. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
-I need land! -Halig! -I need land! -Back at your place! | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
He is back in his place. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Tell them who you are, tell them you have silver! | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-You will be quiet now! -He is sick with the fever! | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
We will hold him! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
I said we will hold him! | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Worthless slaves. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Halig. Halig. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-I can't stay on this ship! -Halig. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
You are a warrior. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
You followed me into battle at Ethandun. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
You fought bravely. Halig! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
You saved me from Kjartan's spies in Cumbraland. Remember that? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
I did. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
You did. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:40 | |
We are warriors! | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
And our time will come. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
Look at me, Halig. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
You have followed every order I've ever given you. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Now I'm giving you one more. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
You will row. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
You will pull and you will wait and our time will come. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
And then together, we shall win. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Together. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
(Please tell me he's not here as a suitor.) | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
He's Ceolwulf, the father of Mercia. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
He is barely alive. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
Lord Ceolwulf. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
Wessex is honoured to welcome you. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
We welcome all of the ealdormen of Mercia. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
-We do not. -May our discussions prove to be beneficial and fruitful | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-for both parties. -Swords, Alfred. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
I shall make my point clear from the outset. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
We demand swords... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
..and the men to carry them. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
To help stem the wave upon wave of raiders, Lord, from the Daneland. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
Forgive my interruption. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
Mercia lost many a warrior at Ethandun, and willingly. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
I expect repayment. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
I hear you, Ceolwulf. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
I consider our lands to be one... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
No, we are not one. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
We are Mercia and you are Wessex. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
Refreshment? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Swords! | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
I will not be silenced. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Lord Ceolwulf, perhaps a seat? It has been a long journey. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
It has. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
For a purpose. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:53 | |
I understand completely | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
that at times the east of Mercia is overrun with Viking raiders. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
We suffer the same fate along our northern border. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
What of your warrior Uhtred? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
He is a leader of men. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
Dispatch him to our border with Daneland. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
Uhtred and 50 men, I will accept. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
Uhtred was last seen in Northumbria, Lord, the place of his birth. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
Northumbria? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
You can send men to the far north but not to your neighbour? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
Lord Ceolwulf. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
The solution to our problem, I feel, is a bond. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
The solution... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
is swords and men. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
A permanent bond between Wessex and Mercia. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
A union, Lord. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:47 | |
Swords! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
How many times do I need to say it?! | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
How many times am I to be ignored?! | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Lord Ceolwulf, you have read my letters? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
Lord Ceolwulf? | 0:21:59 | 0:22:00 | |
Yes, of course I have read your letters. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
You're looking for a buck! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
A match, Lord. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:09 | |
And I have a name for you right here... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
..in a letter of my own. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
A good man, godly man. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Mercian stock, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
like the lady Aelswith. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
But what guarantee do I have... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
..that Mercia will not become a mere appendage of Wessex? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
A poor cousin? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:35 | |
We are a kingdom. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Lord, your first concern should be that you do not become | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
an appendage to Daneland. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
And who was it agreed to this thing called Daneland?! | 0:22:41 | 0:22:47 | |
It was you. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
It was Alfred, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
and now it is Mercia that suffers most. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
-Swords you demand, Lord. -I do. -And swords you shall have. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-How many? -Wessex could never turn away from Mercia. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
It would be akin to Alfred turning away from Aelswith. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
It could never occur, Lord Ceolwulf. Never. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
What is this? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
Each time I talk of swords and spears and yet you insist | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
on speaking of unions... | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
..and of ki... | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
A cup of water for Lord Ceolwulf. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
A cup of water? | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
RASPING WHEEZE | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
I think perhaps a hole in the ground. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
He has... | 0:23:48 | 0:23:49 | |
passed, Lord. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
MURMURING | 0:23:52 | 0:23:53 | |
Our, erm... | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Our deepest sympathies are with all of you. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
Be assured that I and the priests of Wessex | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
shall pray for Lord Ceolwulf's soul. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
I pray eternal light will shine upon him. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
We shall adjourn. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Which one of you is Aethelred? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
I am Aethelred, Lady. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
Aethelred, if you could ensure that Ceolwulf is returned | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
to his family, I would be grateful. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Yes, Lord. Of course, Lord. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
ICY WIND HOWLS | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Master Sverri and your friend Hakka have good news. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
We're finished now until the spring. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Winter will be on land. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
Iceland. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:24 | |
Where there's work to be done. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
Be ready. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
THEY SHIVER | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
Hear that, Halig? Land. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
I love land. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
So in place of the head of Osbert, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
you offer me a bride... | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
..by your own admission... | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
..you have misplaced. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
But we will find her, Lord, and soon. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
You will find her when? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Before I finish my food? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Before the end of winter? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Lord, we have eyes across Northumbria and Cumbraland, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
and we have prayer. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
She will have gone to Cumbraland. I... I know my sister. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
Ah, but I do not. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
And I know she must be very fond of me, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
to hide herself away like this. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Lord, she would not be the first reluctant bride. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
True. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:02 | |
It is also a truth that she was very fond of your nephew. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:12 | |
I have a duty to tell you, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
there was talk of marriage. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
She remains fond of Osbert? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Oh, I would imagine that he is the reason she is in hiding. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
Then I shall have her. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:41 | |
You will? | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
There are, however, conditions. Not one spear shall belong | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
to Eoferwic until Gisela is delivered and is my wife. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Aidan shall return with you. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
You will treat him well, you will feed him well. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
For the entire winter, should that be necessary. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
I do not eat too much. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
Finally, you will deliver a message, from me to Kjartan. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
-Kjartan? -Saying what? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
Saying how my nephew may be found and therefore killed. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
Why bark when there are hounds available? | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Are we agreed? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Yes. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
We are agreed. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
I think we might be getting fed, Lord. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
Call him Osbert. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:00 | |
SHIVERING AND COUGHING | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
More than you deserve. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
Be grateful. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:27 | |
GROWLING AND GRUNTING | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:29:50 | 0:29:51 | |
Lord, your gift of warriors. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
They have served Mercia well this past winter. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
The raids are not so frequent now. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
It gladdens me to hear it. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
You have done well, Aethelred. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
Thank you, Lord. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:07 | |
Now, I believe there is other business. Odda? | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
Yes, Lord. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:11 | |
The bride price. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
-Well, we... -I -have considered what would be appropriate. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:21 | |
I propose to gift the Lady Aethelflaed 3,000 pieces. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
4,000 would, perhaps, be more fitting. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
Lord Aethelred, she is the King's daughter, she is not without means. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:39 | |
Silver, though valuable, does not represent what she will become - | 0:30:39 | 0:30:44 | |
a Lady of Mercia. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:45 | |
Perhaps you have a gift with more... | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
permanency. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
Ancestry. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
We would, of course, bequeath Aethelflaed titled lands. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
Rich lands, in Mercia... | 0:31:03 | 0:31:04 | |
..to further the union. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
A fair price, I feel. Excellent. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
Excellent, Lord. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
To permanency. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:18 | |
Quick, hide yourself. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
How may I serve you, Sven Kjartensson? | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
You will not waste my time. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
We will not speak of silver. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
We will talk of a man you know as Osbert. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
Halig. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:07 | |
Do not move. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:35 | |
I said... | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
do not move. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:58 | |
Bastards! | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
HALIG ROARS | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
THEY YELL GLEEFULLY | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
Don't just stand there looking idle. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
He has the weight of an ox! | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
We must divide, go separate ways. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
-Halig. -Keep going. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
HOUNDS BARK | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
Come on. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:13 | |
There! A boat! | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
-Blessed Jesus, there's a bastard boat! -Halig. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
BARKING CONTINUES | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
HE SCREAMS | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
Halig. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
-Leave me! -Get him in the boat! | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
I'm not leaving you. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
Pull! | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
Pull! | 0:35:46 | 0:35:47 | |
Pull! | 0:35:50 | 0:35:51 | |
Pull! | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
Pull, Lord. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
You are alive only because I am curious to know who you are, | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
and if you'll fetch a good price. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
Pull. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
DISTANT SCREAM | 0:36:12 | 0:36:13 | |
Pull and save him the pain! | 0:36:13 | 0:36:15 | |
Pull! | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
Ugh! | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
Pull and give him the peace of death! | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
Pull! | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
Pull! | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
Pull! | 0:36:52 | 0:36:53 | |
Pull! | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
Pull! | 0:37:13 | 0:37:14 | |
Jonis! | 0:37:56 | 0:37:57 | |
I'm looking for Jonis, the slaver - is he here? | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
Who has seen him? | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
You will deal with me today. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:08 | |
You know who I am? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
I do, Lord. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:14 | |
You have something that I want, Master Sverri. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
Yes, Lord. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:19 | |
Uhtred Ragnarson. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
Is that you? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:50 | |
Is it? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
What do you call this man? | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
He calls himself Osbert, but I heard another slave call him "Lord". | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
It is him. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:04 | |
I have waited for this moment. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
Give him a sword. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:14 | |
A sword! | 0:39:15 | 0:39:16 | |
SWORD UNSHEATHES | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
Sven. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:32 | |
Yes. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:36 | |
It is me, Sven the One-Eye. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
Pick it up. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
Pick it up! | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
He is too weak. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
-WEAKLY: -I will kill you. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
Uhtred, I am pleased that you will try. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
He's too weak. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:02 | |
UHTRED RASPS | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
I will be forever the man... | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
who killed the great warrior, Uhtred. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
Uhtred. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:43 | |
Uhtred. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
Uhtred. It's me, it's Ragnar. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:55 | |
-WEAKLY: -Ragnar. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
UHTRED SOBS | 0:41:09 | 0:41:11 | |
Did you believe we would abandon you? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
Free them all. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
CHAINS CLANK | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
Pull. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
Halig? | 0:42:32 | 0:42:33 | |
He has been taken down, wrapped and buried... | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
..with shield and sword. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
You will say words for him, Hild. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
I have. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
I will, always. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
Northumbria is torn. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:58 | |
Aelfric did not come to Guthred's side. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
Erik and Sigefrid and Kjartan, they do what they please. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:06 | |
You haven't asked how I come to be here. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
Alfred. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:27 | |
Alfred sent us. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:30 | |
I believe the King of Wessex... | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
..cares for you. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:39 | |
You're Uhtred's brother? | 0:43:42 | 0:43:45 | |
I am. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
You look nothing like each other. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
CHUCKLING | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
Uhtred, you should eat. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:55 | |
Finan. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
Oh, we will eat, Lady, but our tummies are small and our feet | 0:44:01 | 0:44:06 | |
have barely touched dry land. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
It'll take a little time to find them. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
Are you his brother? | 0:44:13 | 0:44:15 | |
We are... | 0:44:15 | 0:44:17 | |
We are bound, I would say. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
Up. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
You've been asleep for a day or more. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
I can do it. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:25 | |
HE SIGHS DEEPLY | 0:45:32 | 0:45:34 | |
Take off your clothes. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
You have not looked me in the eye, | 0:46:50 | 0:46:53 | |
not once. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:55 | |
I am ashamed of what I became. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:00 | |
You are Uhtred, son of Uhtred. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
Lord of Bebbanburg. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:30 | |
It's time you remembered that. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:34 | |
You kept the blade sharp. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:39 | |
I knew you'd return. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
She is heavier than I remember. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
How did Alfred come to know of my fate? | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
You? | 0:47:59 | 0:48:00 | |
I will not forget. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
You will always have my protection. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
I could not ask for more. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
And this... | 0:48:14 | 0:48:15 | |
This is my gift to you. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:19 | |
Protection. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:29 | |
You are too good a woman for God alone. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
Uhtred, it IS you. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
The apples are beginning to fall without... | 0:49:13 | 0:49:15 | |
-Shh. -..picking. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:17 | |
Here we are, Brothers, God's gift. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:28 | |
Thank you, Mother, most generous. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
You have been to Cumbraland, you say? | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
We have, and without luck. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:34 | |
And you've had no strangers calling to your door, Mother? | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
Strangers, yes - traders and wretches, but no ladies. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:44 | |
Hmm. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:50 | |
You have an appetite, Lord. | 0:49:57 | 0:49:59 | |
Mmm. I do. | 0:49:59 | 0:50:01 | |
It's good. | 0:50:01 | 0:50:02 | |
I'm pleased. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:05 | |
Alfred waits... | 0:50:09 | 0:50:10 | |
..for your return. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:13 | |
We have business here, Steapa. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
-In the north. -I gave my word - we go to Wessex. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:22 | |
But we're here, now. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
I gave my word. We go directly to Wessex. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:29 | |
Kjartan can wait, and Thyra... | 0:50:29 | 0:50:31 | |
..must wait. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:34 | |
And Gisela? | 0:50:34 | 0:50:35 | |
What of her? | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
She's safe. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:40 | |
She waits for you at the nunnery at Ebchester. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:45 | |
-No. -Seize her! -No. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:09 | |
No. No! | 0:51:09 | 0:51:11 | |
No, I will not! No! | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
Hold her! Hold her fast. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
Stand beside her and we shall have her married. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:23 | |
You have no right! | 0:51:23 | 0:51:24 | |
I have every right, and you will be quiet. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
Aelfric's man, stand beside her. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
We shall have her married to Aelfric right now. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
Without a husband, Lord? | 0:51:33 | 0:51:34 | |
I will not marry against my will! You cannot... | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
Do not strike the poor girl! | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
Do as you're told and as God commands! | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
Beside her, as proxy. | 0:51:41 | 0:51:43 | |
You'll stand in for Lord Aelfric. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
We shall dispense with the joining of hands. You may take her arm. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:53 | |
I will not be party to this. | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
I will not marry... | 0:52:00 | 0:52:01 | |
And we shall dispense with the vows. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
HORSES APPROACH | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
I hereby proclaim Lady Gisela of Cumbraland and Lord Aelfric | 0:52:17 | 0:52:20 | |
of Bebbanburg to be man and wife. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:22 | |
-Gisela! -Uhtred? | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
Uhtred, I'm here! | 0:52:25 | 0:52:26 | |
-Uhtred. -You will let her go. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
-You are too late. -You will let her go. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:34 | |
She is married now. She belongs to Aelfric. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
-It is a lie, Uhtred. -Where is Aelfric? | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
If he is not here, then he cannot be married. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
By proxy, you fool. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:43 | |
This man stood beside her in place of Aelfric. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
Uhtred, in the eyes of God, she is married. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:48 | |
Did you hump her for Aelfric? | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
-He did not. -Then there's no marriage, it's a lie. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:52 | |
She is married and it cannot be undone. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
-Make her a widow. -No! | 0:52:55 | 0:52:57 | |
Gisela is married to Aelfric. Not to Aidan. | 0:52:57 | 0:53:00 | |
I have a wife already. A different wife. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
Uhtred, I'm bored with this. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
Kill them all. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
Do as you wish. In sight of God, she's married. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
Say "she's married" again. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
She's married. | 0:53:28 | 0:53:29 | |
-She's what? -She is married. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
Uhtred! | 0:53:36 | 0:53:37 | |
-Is she married? -Yes! | 0:53:37 | 0:53:38 | |
He is a man of God! | 0:53:40 | 0:53:41 | |
Say it one more time, priest, and I swear the devil will take you. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |
You're nothing but a heathen and the bitch is married! | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
You! | 0:54:08 | 0:54:09 | |
You will go to my uncle... | 0:54:13 | 0:54:15 | |
..and when he asks of his wife, | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
you will tell him she's in the bed of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:23 | |
I trust you are in health. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:47 | |
I improve with each passing day. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:50 | |
-And you, Lord? -God afflicts me. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
But there is purpose in that, so I must be glad of it. | 0:54:55 | 0:54:58 | |
Earl Ragnar, he is a good man. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:03 | |
I should like to free both him and Brida. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:06 | |
Thank you, Lord... | 0:55:09 | 0:55:10 | |
-..for all you have done. -What do you think of my candles? | 0:55:11 | 0:55:14 | |
I find them to be more effective at night. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
I have missed your childish insolence. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:24 | |
I'm trying to measure the passing of time. | 0:55:26 | 0:55:28 | |
I'm hoping to find a candle that burns from midday to midday. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:32 | |
Lord, why did you have me rescued? | 0:55:35 | 0:55:37 | |
-Why have you brought me here? -I had you rescued firstly because | 0:55:37 | 0:55:40 | |
I was able, and secondly, because it is no more than you deserved. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
Though I admit, I would like you in my service once again. | 0:55:45 | 0:55:49 | |
I am grateful, of course... | 0:55:54 | 0:55:56 | |
..but I have my own path to follow. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:01 | |
-Destiny. -Destiny, Lord. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:03 | |
You killed the Abbot Eadred. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
According to the words of Brother Trew and others. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:13 | |
He was a weasel, Lord. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:14 | |
-A weasel without a sword, a holy weasel. -Who deserved to die. | 0:56:14 | 0:56:17 | |
You killed him on blessed ground. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:19 | |
He was an abbot. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:20 | |
However, you were in the company of Earl Ragnar, | 0:56:22 | 0:56:24 | |
in the charge of Earl Ragnar, who was under my orders and whom | 0:56:24 | 0:56:27 | |
I hold responsible for the killing of Abbot Eadred. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:31 | |
No. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
No, Lord, it was me and me alone. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:34 | |
Why did he not stop you? | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
Lord, you cannot blame Ragnar for the Abbot's death. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
Yes, I can, and I do... | 0:56:38 | 0:56:39 | |
-That is unfair. -He will stand trial. | 0:56:39 | 0:56:41 | |
No. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:42 | |
You are a great warrior, Uhtred. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:53 | |
You are a Saxon who is also a Dane - | 0:56:55 | 0:56:57 | |
the very embodiment of the England that must emerge. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:00 | |
I request that you enter my service. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:05 | |
Lord. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:10 | |
I have been a slave. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:12 | |
I wish to remain a free man. | 0:57:14 | 0:57:16 | |
What is it that you wish for Earl Ragnar? | 0:57:16 | 0:57:18 | |
-Lord, please. -A man of God was slaughtered. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
That cannot be ignored, someone must answer. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:23 | |
It will be you... | 0:57:23 | 0:57:25 | |
or it will be Earl Ragnar. | 0:57:25 | 0:57:27 | |
You may choose. | 0:57:28 | 0:57:29 | |
Your sword, Uhtred. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:33 | |
You can be a free man, within my service. | 0:57:35 | 0:57:38 | |
Ragnar goes free? | 0:57:38 | 0:57:40 | |
He has earned it. | 0:57:40 | 0:57:42 | |
Swear. | 0:57:44 | 0:57:46 | |
I, Uhtred of Bebban... | 0:57:51 | 0:57:53 | |
It is the custom to kneel. | 0:57:53 | 0:57:54 | |
I, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, pledge my sword to you, Alfred of Wessex. | 0:58:10 | 0:58:15 |
