'I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
'Lady Aethelflaed has followed her father's wishes and married | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
'Aethelred, the Lord of Mercia. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
'Bringing King Alfred's dream of an England ever closer.' | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
Lord, love should be gentle and kind. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
'In a happier union, Father Beocca has married my sister, Thyra.' | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Excuse me, Lord Uhtred. I am Osferth. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
You are Alfred's bastard son. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
'After failing to convince me to join them, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
'the Northmen brothers, Erik and Sigefrid, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
'have taken the city of Lunden.' | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
You say you are sworn, yet you float into Daneland and back again. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
How am I to trust you? | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
'Alfred put Aethelred in command of his armies...' | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Tomorrow we ride. I would like you to travel with me. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
To battle? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
'..and we were sent to take back the city but found not a soul.' | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
If we wish, there is a way to raise the greatest army these shores | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
have ever seen. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
-Lord! -It's a signal that can be seen from a mile or more. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-Thyra! -Death is coming. The forest! The forest! | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
'It's a trick, I know it. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
'And I fear terrible consequences. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
'Destiny is all.' | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
No, no. Please, God, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
let this not be true. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Thyra! | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Lady Aethelflaed! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Thyra! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
Thyra! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
Please be alive, please be alive, please be alive. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-Lady Aethelflaed! -Thyra! Thyra, please! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
Thyra! | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Lady Aethelflaed! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
Not a single man left living. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Nor woman. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
She is the daughter of King Alfred, they would not kill her. They... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
They would not. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
Thyra! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Please. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Beocca! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Beocca! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Thyra! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Beocca! | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Thyra! | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Beocca! | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Thyra! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Beocca! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
I thought you were dead and I wanted to die! | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
I thought you were dead. I thought you were dead! | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Thyra? Thyra? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Thyra, where is Aethelflaed? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
You will answer! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Of course she will answer! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
I do not know. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Did they take her?! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
We ran and... | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
then she was...gone. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
We will continue the search, Lord. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
They've taken her, they must have. Why else abandon the city, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
why raid the camp? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
She is the daughter of the King. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
They wouldn't dare. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
We will scour the camp and beyond! | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
We are looking for the Lady Aethelflaed! | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
Where are you taking me? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
You have found your voice. We're headed to Beamfleot. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
And then? A ship? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
A cage? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
I'm still to decide. I have given up Lunden for you. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
Erik! How does she feel? Warm? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
Rich. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
As she should. She is our pathway to glory. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
What will you say to Alfred? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
What can I tell him but the truth? | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
He will ask why she was with you. She should never have been there. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
I am aware of that. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
You say she insisted, begged. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
You're so enthralled by your bride that you could not deny her. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
And make myself appear weak? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
It is a choice, Lord, between appearing love-sick, or foolish. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
Uhtred? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
Uhtred, where are you going? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
I'm going home to Coccham, where Alfred has asked me to remain! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
And where I left my wife. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
But the King, he may need you. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
The King, in his wisdom, has all but banished him, Father Beocca. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
You should also raise the question of how the Northmen came to know | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
of Aethelflaed's situation, of where she would be. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
If you believe her to be alive, you will not abandon her. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
You will not. That is a fact. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
So, what is the real reason we're travelling home to Coccham | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
and not to Winchester? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:06 | |
There's nothing to be said in Winchester. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
I won't be part of a whispering court. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
We will go when I have something to say, not before. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
-Sihtric. -Lord? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Take Rypere there and go to Beamfleot. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
That is where Erik and Sigefrid's fleet lie, that is where they'll be. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
We are to spy? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
You're to confirm that Lady Aethelflaed is alive and how | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
they're treating her. Send Rypere back to me at Coccham. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
You will remain there and, yes, you are to spy. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Sihtric, I will need to know every part of Beamfleot. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
Every blade of grass that surrounds their fortress. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
Yes, Lord. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:47 | |
See this? Warriors join us by the day. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
With word of your capture, there will be more. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
All waiting for war. You have my thanks, Lady. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
There will be many men inside. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
They will want to get close to you, look you in the eye. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
They'll want to frighten me. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
They will. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
CHEERING | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
SHE GASPS AND GRUNTS | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
What did I say?! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
I told you I would invite | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
King Alfred's daughter, and she is here! | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
I swear to the gods... | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
..that this prize will not be sold cheaply. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
There will be wealth and glory for every man here. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
It is the best we have. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
These are my own men, they will watch you. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
You will have a guard at all times. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
You will be safe here. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
And my companions, my servants, from the camp? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Any woman who is not Aethelflaed will have been killed or claimed. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Claimed is most likely. There's a bucket in the corner. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
A royal bucket, no splinters. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
CHUCKLING | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
DOOR LOCKS | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Aethelred. I was expecting a messenger, and not for days. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:35 | |
My news is too important to trust to a messenger. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Lunden has been reclaimed. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
Praise God. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Not a single Northman has been left alive in the city...but | 0:10:49 | 0:10:55 | |
this great victory has come at a significant cost. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
It is the way of battle. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
It concerns Aethelflaed, Lord. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
What of her? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
We fear that she has been...taken. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
We pray that is the outcome, Lord. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
By the Northmen? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Aethelflaed was with you? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
All the things they will do to her... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
She was there? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
You took my daughter into battle? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
There was no battle, Lord. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
She was not part of the attacking army, Lord, of course not. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-She was a good distance away. -But clearly not a safe distance. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Admittedly, I was weak, but she is headstrong and eager. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
She asked to travel a part of the way... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
You are her husband. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
She makes it difficult for me to refuse her. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Is she alive? Have you seen her alive? Answer me that. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
She must be alive, Lord. What reason would they have to kill her? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
But you do not know for certain? | 0:11:58 | 0:11:59 | |
No. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
How they knew she was with us, we do not know. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Uhtred believes they may have returned to Beamfleot. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
-He knows them well. -Uhtred has returned to Coccham, Lord. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
He was following your earlier instructions, Lord. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
After hearing of events and excuses... | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
..what I now require are facts. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
I have men across the land. I will send word and ask for word. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
That is all I can do. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
That is all we can do. My dear. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Lord, you have my word! I shall recover her! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Do you know what you've done? | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Possibly not, as you are as useless as you are arrogant. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
I have done nothing but carry out the King's orders. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
You have put at risk the entire kingdom! All kingdoms! | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
You're a toad, a fool, an idiot | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
with ambition far above your capability. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
And if I can see this, be sure Alfred can see it. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
You have made your position clear, Lord Odda. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
We will forgive your insolence just this one... | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-You will forgive me?! -You will not address my lord in that manner! | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
May I suggest that you take a wander for yet another cup of wine? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
Father Beocca, Steapa, come with me. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
You will tell me every detail from | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
the moment you left Winchester. With me! | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Yes, Lord. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
"Lunden has been reclaimed and not a single Northman | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
"has been left alive in the city." | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
You began so well. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
I will be reminding the King who it was who travelled into Daneland. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
I will be reminding the King that your friend Uhtred | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
has been called King of Mercia, and I shall remind him how fond you are | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
of his seat. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Do that. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
But allow me to remind you of this - the only man capable of | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
cleaning up this puddle of shit | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
is the man you are desperate to blame. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
Uhtred... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
..King of Mercia. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
WATER LAPS | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
What is on your mind? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
I am thinking of Aethelflaed. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
If she lives, you will be her hope. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Alfred is her father. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
YOU will be her hope, Uhtred of Bebbenberg. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
It should not be for you to resolve, but you will do it. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
By sending Sihtric, you have already begun. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Stay with me. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
No, I am hungry! | 0:15:25 | 0:15:26 | |
I will help you. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
No, I'm doing it! I think I have something! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
Supper at last! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Oh! He's a sea monster! | 0:15:36 | 0:15:37 | |
Lord. You said I should find you. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-Who are you? -He's Alfred's bastard. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
I am called Osferth, Lady. I am simply called Osferth. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
Every person in every town has been instructed to pray, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
that she is alive and kept well. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Then, she will surely be alive, kept well, and will be free in no time. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
All right, say goodnight. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
You do not believe, Lord? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Oh, I believe... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
but in the true gods. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
And in fate. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
You wish to serve a heathen, Osferth? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
God is in all good men, Lady. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
And my Uncle Leofric told me often that your husband is a good man. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
A great man. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
He said that? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
Yes, he did, Lord. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
And yet this good man here will let you join him for one reason only. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
To embarrass Alfred. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
It's true. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
That may be the reason you allow me to join you, Lord, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
but I will give you reason to let me stay. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
You have been brought here by fate, Osferth. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
If all they have in Winchester is prayer, | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
then they will need something more. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
-We will go to Winchester. -We will not. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
This is what you want to do, so why be childish about it? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
We will go when I have news... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
..from Beamfleot. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
YELLING | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:17:48 | 0:17:49 | |
My men tell me you are refusing to eat. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
I am. I would like to wash. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
You have a bowl, you have water. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
I would like to bathe! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
I would like to breathe cool air. I am beginning to feel sickly. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
My brother suggested you bathe inside a barrel | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
in full view of all men. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
DOOR SHUTS | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Lady... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
..I will arrange for you to bathe with privacy, but in return | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
you must eat the food we provide. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
Very well. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:51 | |
Agreed. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Thank you. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
I feel she is alive, in my heart, but what might they do to her? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:27 | |
She has her mother's courage, and that is the very reason that | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
she will survive this ordeal. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Lord King, although I would usually prefer him miles away at Coccham... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
..would it now be appropriate to recall Uhtred to Winchester? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:04 | |
-I accept that he will never know God... -I cannot. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
But if you would send him to Beamfleot, if she saw him... | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
You know that I cannot. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
..perhaps her spirit would rise. She believes in him. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Our belief is in God, in prayer. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
It is. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
I will leave you to your letters. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
We have our proof, Rypere, you will go to Uhtred. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Now! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
Why so many guards? Are you afraid of me? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
You're a prize, Lady. Even when unwashed. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
She's the daughter of a King, you will all turn away! | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Show her the backs of your heads! | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
Lord, where is the harm in looking? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
The back of your heads! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
You were right, Lord... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-..she has beauty. -She does. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
More than that, she's worth ten times her weight in gold and silver. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
I'm thinking we should fatten her. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Does this game have a name? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Stones. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
And why's it called that(?) | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
It's Rypere. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:08 | |
He must have news from Beamfleot. I'll go and tell Uhtred. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
-Uhtred! -Uhtred! | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Uhtred! | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
Lord, if the Northmen from Beamfleot are now raiding into | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Mercia to feed their army, how long before they come to Wessex? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
Is it not time to consider raising the fyrds? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Aethelwold, as you have | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
no estate, it is not your place to talk of raising fyrds. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
As for the ealdormen with estate... | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
for each of you there is a harvest to be gathered. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
This must be done quickly and stored within the nearest burh, | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
it must be protected. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
Should they raid, we shall not be overrun and importantly | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
we shall not feed them so much as a single grain. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
Wessex is fortified. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
Once the harvest is gathered, the fighting men of the fyrds | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
shall be free of labour, should they be required. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
Should they be required, Lord?! Mercia requires them now. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
The heathen must be dealt with! | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
The heathen hold a hostage, Lord Selwine. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
Would you have the Lady Aethelflaed killed? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Lord King, I do not wish to cause distress, but if the lady was | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
in fact alive, surely they would have made clear their demands? | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
They want us supplicant, Selwine, they want us afraid. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
They do not know of our faith, Lord. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
Father Pyrlig? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Excuse me, Lord, but Uhtred of this parish is here. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
He is asking to attend. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Can he be trusted? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Lord? Are we sure of Uhtred's position? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
Lord Uhtred's position is that of an ealdorman of Wessex. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
Lord, it is my own view that he should be admitted. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
-And mine. -Allow him in. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Lord King? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:14 | |
-The Ealdorman Uhtred may join the Witan. -Yes, Lord. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Lord. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
Lady Aelswith. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
I am here with news of Aethelflaed. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
From the Northmen? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
From my own spies, who sleep within the walls of Beamfleot. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
Lord, Aethelflaed is alive. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
My men have seen her with their own eyes. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
-Praise Him. -Praise Him to the heavens. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
Then, why have they not made clear their demands? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
They've been spreading news of their hostage, Lord. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
Boasting? About seizing a woman? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
Boasting of the great army they will raise with the ransom. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
This is what I fear, Lord. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
No man in this hall should be in any doubt, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
when their demands arrive, they will be considerable. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
As will be the consequences. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Of course, they will make outrageous demands. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:25 | |
That is the purpose of strong negotiation - | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
to ensure there is agreement. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
You intend to negotiate, Lord? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
I intend to recover my daughter. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Regardless of the price, Lord? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Mercia is not a land of plenty - far from it. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
Wessex shall pay its share of silver and, if necessary, | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
its share of blood! I will do what needs to be done. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
If that means negotiation, then I will negotiate. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Lord, I would advise that you don't attend the negotiations. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
The presence of the King and father would only serve to increase | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
-their price. -But if not the King, then who? | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
LOUD MURMURINGS | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
There will be silence! | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
Aethelred? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:10 | |
-Yes, Lord? -It must be you. This is for Mercia to resolve. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:19 | |
You must go to Beamfleot. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
Of course, Lord. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
And a representative of Wessex, Lord, | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
as the burden of your daughter is to be shared between the two kingdoms. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
I will suggest that the Lord Uhtred represents Wessex. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
Agreed. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
Forgive me, Lord, but I do believe he is your only choice. | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
Lord? | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
Uhtred, you will accompany Aethelred. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
I will do all I can, Lord. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
Lady. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
Uhtred. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
Uhtred, forgive me, but I have asked the King to excuse me | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
from this journey to Beamfleot. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
For my sins, God has always placed me at your side. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
And I feel shame for abandoning you. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:03 | |
No, Beocca, your place is in Winchester with Thyra. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
Bless you. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:07 | |
Uhtred, you have given me so much, but giving me the courage | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
to approach Thyra - that was your greatest gift. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
I will be in your prayers, no doubt. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
Perhaps. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:19 | |
Always. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:22 | |
Say it's mine! | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
My men are restless. Hunting is not enough. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
I may go across the river, spill a little blood. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
Across the river is Wessex. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
Then, if I see Alfred, I will tell him that my brother is humping | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
his daughter. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:48 | |
I can see that you like her. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
I would like to ride her, yes. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:56 | |
Then, ride her. One tiny cock isn't going to hurt her. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
Haesten, what are you doing? | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
Shut your mouth, Dagfinn. You saw nothing. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
What do you want? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
What do I want? | 0:30:32 | 0:30:33 | |
I'm here to remind you that you're a woman | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
and a hostage. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
I like the paleness of your skin. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
Show me. Take off your clothes. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
Does the Lord Erik know that you're here? | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
It was the Lord Erik that sent me. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
Now, remove your clothes or I will rip them from you! | 0:30:57 | 0:31:02 | |
SHE YELLS OUT | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
Dagfinn, hold her! | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
Get up! GET UP! | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
-Lord, she's a hostage! -Get up onto your feet. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
-She is a hostage. -She is precious. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
She's of value! | 0:31:31 | 0:31:32 | |
Release her. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:35 | |
Leave us! | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
All of you! | 0:31:46 | 0:31:47 | |
This should not have happened, and it will not happen again. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
My apologies. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
My apologies. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
It is not the first time a man has mistreated me. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
Who else? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:40 | |
Not here. Before here. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
Now I know what to do should it happen again. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
I will use my night bucket and a knife. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:56 | |
You should. | 0:32:58 | 0:32:59 | |
You are precious, Lady. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:02 | |
Sleep well. Safely. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
DISTANT YELLING AND SWORDS ECHO | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
Odda. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
It is late. I was about to sit, contemplate. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
As is your habit, Lord. I have been waiting for you. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Lord, I hope you will forgive me for what I'm about to say. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
My intentions are for Wessex, for the hope of an England. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
You spoke of paying for Aethelflaed's release | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
in one of two ways - with silver, or with blood. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
I did. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:15 | |
There is a third way. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
Should the ransom be too great, should the likely loss of men | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
be too great, should Wessex wish to emerge with honour, | 0:34:21 | 0:34:25 | |
Lord, and greater strength... | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
..then should she not be encouraged to take her own life? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
For the good of the kingdom. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
Some might say it would mean martyrdom. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
I hear you, Odda. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:50 | |
I'm glad you feel able to proffer this advice. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
Now, I wish to sit. You will leave me. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
Lord... | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
Look around you, see the sacrifice that has been made. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
Hundreds upon hundreds of men, | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
women and children have given their lives for what we now have... | 0:35:10 | 0:35:15 | |
They have GIVEN their lives, Odda, they did not TAKE their lives. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
And there will be reward in heaven for each and every soul, | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
that is what we believe, is it not? | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
That is what I say, Lord, there will be reward enough, in heaven. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:30 | |
You are a king before you are a father. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
I know my place! | 0:35:40 | 0:35:41 | |
Now you will leave me. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
Lord. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:52 | |
-I thought you'd like to breathe the night's air. -Thank you. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
I was born on a night of a whole moon. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
My father wanted to call me Mani, after the moon god. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
But Mani is chased each night across the sky by Hati the wolf. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
My mother did not want me to be chased by wolves. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
I saw the moon, the clear sky and I wanted to share it. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
I'm glad you thought of me. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
It was either share it with you or with my brother. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
THEY LAUGH The choice was difficult, I admit! | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
I have never seen a face like this before. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
Now I see it, even when I close my eyes. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
Your husband is a fortunate man. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
My husband does not see me. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
Then, he's blind or stupid. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
He is not blind. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
And he is not gentle, I would guess. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
He is the one who mistreats you? | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
He is not the man I would choose to be with. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
You. You! | 0:38:41 | 0:38:42 | |
Aethelwold. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:45 | |
Odda, you are drunk. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
I sincerely hope so, I can barely see. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
At your age, it is not good for you. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
What is your opinion on paying a ransom for Aethelflaed? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
Do you have an opinion? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
Not one I am prepared to say aloud. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
Is there much, or any, of your father in you? | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
-The king past? -I'm disappointed you need to ask. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
I have both my father's blood and spirit, the Danes know it. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:21 | |
Even the dead know it. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:24 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
I am becoming more like him by the day - observe the clean tunic. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:32 | |
He was a great man. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
He was my great friend. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:45 | |
If you are indeed his son, I may need you. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:53 | |
You may need me for what? | 0:39:53 | 0:39:54 | |
I believe you need your bed, Lord. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
And a pillow. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:07 | |
You should employ a craftsman to fit a spoon in place of the blade. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
The leaves are falling. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:30 | |
I want the ransom paid in full by winter, an army by spring. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
A king's crown by summer. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
They will want the same, answers by winter. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
How does she ride? | 0:40:44 | 0:40:45 | |
Oh, you wouldn't like her - she's bony and she squeals. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
She passes the time. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
And if you put a pup in her belly? | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
Then, Alfred will get two for the price of one. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
And Viking blood to strengthen his line, eh? | 0:41:11 | 0:41:13 | |
What will happen when we reach Beamfleot? | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
Will there be a ritual, a toast, a meal? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
There will be a heathen sacrifice - | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
the youngest member of the visiting party will be split with an axe. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
They will want to humiliate us. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
In what way? | 0:41:40 | 0:41:43 | |
An insult, a challenge. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
-Why? -Because they can. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
Haesten. We're travelling to Beamfleot. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
For Alfred? | 0:42:04 | 0:42:05 | |
For Alfred, yes. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
I am here to take you on to the fortress, Lord. You and two others. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
I will travel with half my number, no less. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
Agreed. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:21 | |
The Lady Aethelflaed? She is well? | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
There'll be no negotiation until I have seen her! | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
She is well. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
My Lord Erik sees that she is most content, Lord. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:34 | |
-Ride on and we'll follow. -Oh, you will not be needing horses. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
Lord, I have a question. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
What is it we want from this meeting? | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
You have to ask? What we want is to free Aethelflaed. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:07 | |
And if instead, what transpired was war - what then? | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
It is a question, Lord, that is all. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
I would be without a wife, no doubt, as that would be the cause of war. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
War will occur regardless, that is certain. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
The only change that there can be is the size of the army | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
that we will face across the field. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:30 | |
We will be ready. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
But what is it we want? | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
Alfred wants his daughter, that is plain, | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
but is that best for Mercia? Is that best for Aethelred, | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
Lord of Mercia, and Lunden, and more, perhaps? | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
My advice to you, Lord, is rescue her by all means, | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
but not at a price that will cut our throats. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
You will all kneel. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:30 | |
We will not. We have come here in peace and as equals. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:35 | |
You've made us walk a good distance to meet you. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
That is respect enough. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:39 | |
You should have joined me, Uhtred. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
If you wished me to join you, why have a dead man tell a prophecy? | 0:44:44 | 0:44:48 | |
Why didn't you simply ask? | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
Me, you would refuse, but the gods? | 0:44:50 | 0:44:52 | |
The King of Wessex sends his greetings. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
He hopes you have enjoyed the company of his daughter. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
Enjoyed her? | 0:45:05 | 0:45:06 | |
Oh, she's not his favourite. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:11 | |
Why else would he have allowed her to marry the pig's arse | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
-standing behind me? -Before any negotiations take place, | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
the pig's arse wishes to be certain that his wife is well. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
And if she's not well? What then? | 0:45:22 | 0:45:25 | |
What will the pig's arse do? Fart? | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
Will you fight me? Will you fight my brother? | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
I would like that. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:42 | |
You alone will kneel. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:49 | |
-I will not. -Kneel! | 0:45:50 | 0:45:52 | |
JEERING | 0:45:52 | 0:45:54 | |
I have come to negotiate. I demand respect. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:05 | |
If you do not wish to hear my price, then I will leave! Happily! | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
Aethelflaed. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:11 | |
As you can see, she is well. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:15 | |
-I would like to speak with her. -Then, do it. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:20 | |
They are treating you well? | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
They are. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:38 | |
You have not been...touched? | 0:46:38 | 0:46:40 | |
I have not. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
What I must now do is secure an acceptable price for your release. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:53 | |
There will be word games played, | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
do not be alarmed by what I may say. I assure you, | 0:46:57 | 0:47:02 | |
once this is over, they shall pay for what they have done to us all. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
Thank you, Lord. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:08 | |
What is your price? | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
It must be fair, or you can keep her. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 | |
You talk of your woman like you do not care. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:23 | |
She is important to me, of course, but she has a price, | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
beyond which I cannot go. I will not go. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:29 | |
Then name it. Name this price. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:32 | |
100lb weight of silver. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
My lands can afford no more. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
Does this man speak for Alfred? | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
He does not. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
Hmm. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
Weland! Where is Weland?! I do not see him. | 0:47:56 | 0:48:01 | |
Weland! Weland! | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
Ah! Weland. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
This man here... | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
Hit him. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:23 | |
She is a daughter, not a son. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
Unloved and, in truth, banished to Mercia to spend her life | 0:48:36 | 0:48:39 | |
being humped by her husband, whom you have so generously put to bed. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:44 | |
But like her husband, Alfred's not minded to pay a great sum. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
-Alfred's price is what? Say it! -I will. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
Separate from the 100lb weight of silver offered by | 0:48:50 | 0:48:54 | |
her husband, | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
Alfred will add another... 200lb weight of silver. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
300lb in total. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
A good price. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:04 | |
The daughter of a Frankish king was once bargained for a similar price. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:07 | |
-Pyrlig? -This is true, Lord, it is a good price. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:18 | |
No, Alfred is not a Frankish king and it is not a good price. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:23 | |
I say it's a good price. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:25 | |
Like the pig's arse, you have farted. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:27 | |
HE BREAKS WIND, LAUGHTER | 0:49:27 | 0:49:29 | |
Yes! And it stinks, by the gods does it stink. Open the doors. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:35 | |
It is a good price? | 0:49:35 | 0:49:36 | |
-I think it's a good price. -You insult me! | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
If Alfred is minded to offer so little, then I am minded to | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
bring her into this hall and allow each man here take his turn! | 0:49:45 | 0:49:49 | |
I swear she will be tied to a cart and she will travel the kingdoms. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:57 | |
Is that what you want, | 0:49:59 | 0:50:01 | |
Saxon? | 0:50:01 | 0:50:03 | |
Do not insult me. | 0:50:04 | 0:50:06 | |
-I'm not insulting you. -Do not. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
The King has given me some discretion to increase the price. | 0:50:20 | 0:50:23 | |
What a surprise! | 0:50:26 | 0:50:29 | |
So, say it. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
Lord, if I may, and to save both time and ink, | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
perhaps YOU might name a price? | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
An acceptable price, not an impossible price. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
Say it. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:46 | |
10,000lb weight of silver and 1,000lb weight of gold. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:56 | |
Delivered by Alfred himself. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
Of course. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:01 | |
And he shall arrive with a stoat upon his head | 0:51:01 | 0:51:03 | |
and an apple in his mouth. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:04 | |
With respect, Sigefrid, | 0:51:05 | 0:51:07 | |
you fart louder and longer than the pig's arse and I together. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
I need to take a piss. It's going to be a long day. | 0:51:13 | 0:51:16 | |
HE CLEARS THROAT | 0:51:19 | 0:51:21 | |
HE GROANS | 0:51:35 | 0:51:37 | |
PIGS GRUNT | 0:51:37 | 0:51:39 | |
HE GASPS | 0:51:42 | 0:51:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:51:55 | 0:51:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
Aethelred, Lord of Mercia! If your jaw is not broken, join us! | 0:52:20 | 0:52:26 | |
Eat. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:27 | |
Yes. I will. I would enjoy that. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:31 | |
Business is done. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
-Done?! -A bargain has been made, and not a good one. Say nothing. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:38 | |
Uhtred and Father Pyrlig have gone to see how your lady is, Lord. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:42 | |
-Then I will go to her. -No! | 0:52:42 | 0:52:45 | |
You will wait here. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:48 | |
You will sit...with me. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:52 | |
To silver and gold. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:06 | |
And lots of it, Lord. | 0:53:06 | 0:53:08 | |
Drink. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:09 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:53:12 | 0:53:14 | |
She's praying. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:16 | |
Give her time with the priest and then you will see her. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
26 ships. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:25 | |
By the next moon there will be more. And more still, the moon after. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:30 | |
Alfred will pay for his own destruction. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
You should not underestimate Alfred of Wessex. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
Never. But he will pay what you have agreed? | 0:53:36 | 0:53:40 | |
He will. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
Even for an unloved daughter? | 0:53:43 | 0:53:45 | |
Alfred is suffering. He loves her dearly. | 0:53:47 | 0:53:50 | |
Her husband does not. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:52 | |
I was surprised at your anger towards Aethelred. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:55 | |
What purpose did it serve? | 0:53:55 | 0:53:57 | |
It was a mistake. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:00 | |
It was. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:03 | |
You made it clear that you care for her. | 0:54:03 | 0:54:05 | |
I cannot let her go. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:15 | |
I cannot give her up. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:17 | |
We have just settled on a price, there is agreement. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:23 | |
With my brother. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:54:34 | 0:54:35 | |
-Lord Uhtred. -Lady. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
Your father sends his affection. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:45 | |
He will be sleeping at the altar, I'm sure. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:47 | |
I have arranged your release. You will soon be coming home. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
Have you spoken with Erik? | 0:54:54 | 0:54:55 | |
I have. | 0:54:58 | 0:54:59 | |
What has he told you? | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
Lady, he's a Northman and a pagan. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:07 | |
He is a pagan as YOU are a pagan. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
Any hope that you have of a life together is nonsense. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
-It will fail! -It will not. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:14 | |
Merely because it's what you wish for? Lady, it can never happen. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:18 | |
-Well, it must. -What of your husband? | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
I will not talk of my husband. | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
I do not care for him. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:27 | |
-And I will never care for him. -But he will not stand by. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
I do not care. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:30 | |
Sigefrid will not stand by, and your father will not stand by! | 0:55:30 | 0:55:34 | |
-You will lose your entire family! -I will make a family. | 0:55:34 | 0:55:37 | |
We will make a family, Erik and I. | 0:55:37 | 0:55:39 | |
And they will die! As you will die. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
In a fire, at the tip of a sword... | 0:55:42 | 0:55:44 | |
Then, I will die happily. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:45 | |
Aethelflaed, hear me. There will be no rest. | 0:55:45 | 0:55:48 | |
-None. -A life with Erik is what I want. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:50 | |
It is best for me and it is best for Wessex. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:54 | |
I can say this to no-one but you. | 0:55:55 | 0:55:58 | |
I can ask no-one but you. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
Will you help us escape? | 0:56:07 | 0:56:08 | |
Lady, I am sworn to your father. If I help you and succeed, | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
he'll have me killed, but more than that, | 0:56:17 | 0:56:19 | |
you are asking me to sanction your own death. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:21 | |
No, what I am asking is for you to allow me to live! | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
I will not be the treasure that builds an army against my father. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
That will not happen. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:31 | |
Never. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
I will leave this place with Erik | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
or I will not leave at all. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
Uhtred, I am asking you to save my life | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
and with it the nations of Wessex and Mercia. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:46 | |
Will you help me? | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
Please? | 0:56:53 | 0:56:54 |
