01:17Take this to your mother.
01:19♪♪
01:29♪♪
01:31Mother!
01:34I got it!
01:36♪♪
01:39It is wonderful.
01:41Good boy, Haren.
01:43Now, go check your traps for rabbits.
01:46♪♪
01:56♪♪
02:00What took you so long?
02:02You were supposed to be back from Kattegat two days ago.
02:06How about, welcome home, Aki?
02:08Thank the gods you're still alive.
02:10You didn't drown in a storm.
02:11Did you at least get everything for the wedding?
02:13Everything, just like you asked.
02:16Even some sweets to be chilled.
02:19Take these to the kitchen.
02:21There is much cooking to be done.
02:23Come, no time to waste.
02:25♪♪
02:29How was Kattegat?
02:31Bustling.
02:33Full of boats.
02:35If we had a hundred swords, we could have treaded them all.
02:38We will soon.
02:41Any news about my brother?
02:43Or Harald?
02:45Some say they've seen them in distant lands.
02:47Africa, Greece.
02:49There are rumors that they fight for the emperor of Constantinople.
02:53They're gone, but not forgotten, Freydis.
02:56Remember these heroes.
02:59Thank you for always asking for me, Aki.
03:02Of course.

04:13Hold the line!
04:15-♪♪
04:25-♪♪
04:32Emperor! Emperor!
04:34Forward!
04:36Get the emperor back!
04:38Freydis!
04:42Protect the emperor!
04:55Freydis!
05:02Get him back!
05:06No!
05:14Back! Get him back!
05:16Get the emperor to safety!
05:22Get him to safety!
05:27You brought me here to witness victory.
05:31And I barely escape with my life.
05:37If not for my Varangian guard,
05:40the Saracens' weak aim to conquer
05:43would have brought the Byzantine Empire to its knees.
05:47Despite what you witnessed, my emperor,
05:50the siege is working.
05:52They are becoming more desperate by the day.
05:55The battlefield is littered with our dead.
05:58And while your army remains here,
06:01the center of my empire, Constantinople,
06:04lies undefended and at the mercy of our enemies in the east.
06:08If we leave Sicily now, the emir will be emboldened,
06:12and the Saracens will use this victory
06:15to spread their hatred of our god.
06:18They will consolidate their holdings
06:20and not only threaten Constantinople,
06:22but Jerusalem.
06:24Silence!
06:27Prepare your men.
06:29We return home in the morning.
06:37Emperor, if I may.
06:42General Maniakes is not incorrect.
06:45His siege has taken a toll on the enemy.
06:48And though I do not share his passion for a religious war,
06:52I agree.
06:54I agree.
06:56I believe there is another solution.
06:58Yes, my men have already begun a new plan.
07:00With respect, General,
07:02I'm not talking about your men or your plan.
07:07I'm saying it is time to let my warriors
07:10deliver you, Syracuse.
07:13Your warriors?
07:15Your 700 Varangians?
07:17You think they can take that fortress?
07:20They are nothing but a mongrel mix
07:22of lost Vikings and mercenaries.
07:25Vikings are never lost.
07:29And we will take that fortress.
07:51Yes, you will make all of us love it, I know.
07:59Roses everywhere, they say.
08:03What is it to begin with?
08:13Keep them to the side.
08:15We can use them later.
08:21I cannot decide which is worse,
08:23the smell of pig guts or the stink of the sulfur.
08:27Here.
08:30Smell this beneath your nose, it will help.
08:33A little.
08:51Is that what you're looking for inside the castle?
08:55It's called the library.
08:57It contains writings from ancient Greece and Egypt,
09:01treasures from Africa,
09:04and maps
09:06of places few people have ever seen.
09:09It's beautiful.
09:15We have enough.
09:21Shh.
09:28I have informed the emperor.
09:31We'll be taking the fortress tomorrow night.
09:34And you misspoke.
09:37It will be at dawn.
09:50Stop!
10:09I can get you through the Barbican Wall.
10:12The castle is another matter.
10:21Now we go up.
10:31Hey, the noise.
10:33The Saracens will know we're tunneling.
10:35Good. I want them dead.
10:41Easy, easy.
10:43Hold. Good, good, good.
10:47We are under the wall.
10:50When the time comes, make it loud.
10:54This way.
10:56To where?
10:58You didn't mention a second tunnel.
11:02You didn't ask.
11:21Just in time.
11:24We should send help.
11:30The future king of Norway, huh?
11:33As soon as we take this castle.
11:36Soon.
11:40Is there really as much treasure inside as you say?
11:43More, my friend.
11:45More.
11:47Is there really as much treasure inside as you say?
11:50More, my friend.
11:52Enough to fund all our dreams.
11:54If you don't blow yourselves up first,
11:57my God,
11:59how are you going to light all of this and get out of here safely?
12:04They aren't.
12:07They are.
12:10Trust him.
12:17Trust him.
12:36I'm in no trouble, friend.
12:38I'm just a peaceful trapper.
12:40What are you doing here?
12:44I'm looking for Jomsborg.
12:47How did you come by way of the forest?
12:49I don't own a boat.
12:51Just my legs.
12:53He is alone.
12:56What is in your bag?
12:58Just my supplies.
13:02Careful.
13:04Contents are fragile.
13:13Stop!
13:15What is going on?
13:18He says he is looking for Jomsborg
13:20and has evil in his bag.
13:23No evil.
13:25I only said it must be handled with care.
13:28I'm happy to show you.
13:34You're a healer.
13:37Among other things.
13:41What is this?
13:43Turmeric.
13:45It reduces swelling.
13:48Where is it from?
13:50India.
13:52It's a land far east and south.
13:54Have you been there?
13:56Yes, I've been to many places.
14:01Are you a pagan or a Christian?
14:06I am neither,
14:08but I'm not here to harm you.
14:10My name is Stig.
14:13Where did you learn to fight like that?
14:15I wasn't fighting.
14:17I was defending.
14:19Show me.
14:21Now? Here?
14:23Stop!
14:41You are welcome to stay in Jomsborg,
14:43but everyone works for their keep.
14:45I will.
14:47Thank you.
14:50Harald!
14:52Come!
15:08Acquiring the blessing of the Pope
15:10is not only a religious duty.
15:12It is a political necessity.
15:14England will be gifted the southern states of Denmark
15:17and in return you will build 200 churches.
15:21A land that I could clearly take.
15:23Yes, but His Holiness will bestow upon our people
15:26his infinite blessings
15:28and you cannot put a price upon that.
15:30And yet he has.
15:32And a high one.
15:34When we meet, I will tell her.
15:36Unfortunately, that is not possible, Your Highness.
15:39You will be speaking to the Pope through his emissary,
15:42the Cardinal.
15:44I am the King of Denmark.
15:47Norway.
15:49And England.
15:51And he is the supremely powerful Pope,
15:53ambassador of God to all Christians on earth.
15:59His Holiness will see you now.
16:20CONSTITUTION
16:28Conoret de Deus, Coro de Gloria et Constitutia.
16:50His Holiness welcomes this dear son in Christ
16:54and he appreciates the reparation you've made to the Church
16:58to compensate for the centuries of pillaging and desecration
17:02that your people have inflicted on its sacred sites.
17:07To fully attain the atonement, however,
17:10the Holy Father has increased his request to 300 churches.
17:16300?
17:18300.
17:20Yes, and that he may feel assured that the agreement is binding.
17:24You will also provide him with the name of your successor.
17:28An heir.
17:31I have not chosen one.
17:34Well, then that is not satisfactory.
17:36Or necessary.
17:38He cannot tell me how to rule my empire.
17:40Quid mali est.
17:42Nihilis vos sanctitas.
17:45You're upset on the Holy Father.
17:47Your Highness, I think perhaps...
17:48What?
17:54Your Holiness, I am Canute the Great, King of England.
17:58Ruler of the Northern Empire.
18:00Stop. This is not allowed.
18:02And I have traveled many miles to demonstrate to you my loyalty
18:05and to discuss issues face to face.
18:07He cannot understand you.
18:09Then I will ask Godwin to translate for me.
18:11Godwin, tell the Pope that we come here with respect.
18:15What is happening?
18:17You have offended His Holiness and the church.
18:20The meeting is ended. There is no agreement.
18:36Thank you for seeing me, Your Eminence.
18:40Your king is a savage.
18:43While I admit that he is direct,
18:45the past seven years have also proven him
18:47to be a devoted servant to the church.
18:49Well, that's not what I've witnessed today.
18:52It's bad enough that to advance the Christianization of these people
18:56we have agreed to saint one of them,
18:59the raider, Olof Arltsson.
19:03But to have your king attempt to speak to the Holy Father as an equal
19:07shows how real respect he has for the sanctity of our institutions.
19:13I'm here to hopefully alter that opinion.
19:23Well, I'm afraid once my mind is made up, I'm not easily swayed.
19:33England is a wealthy country,
19:36and I believe that you are a man capable of finding the path to forgiveness.
20:03You found work quickly.
20:05Your healer is busy with wedding preparations.
20:16Have you always been a traveler?
20:18Once I was a farmer.
20:21What made you change?
20:23When I was away herding sheep, my wife and my daughter were killed by raiders.
20:28So sorry to hear that.
20:35So what has brought you to Jomsborg?
20:37My grandfather was a Jomsviking before he moved to Rus.
20:40When I was a child, he would tell me the most exciting stories about his time here.
20:44The battles, the friendships, the feasts.
20:47Did you learn how to defend from him?
20:50No. Like my medicines, I picked it up in India.
20:57I want you to teach my son, Harald.
21:02The training takes time.
21:05And are you in a hurry to leave?
21:08No.
21:17Now, the ancient Greeks believed that if they stress,
21:20the locksmith or the gods live beneath that mountain.
21:24And every time he worked his forge, that's when the ground shook and sparks flew.
21:30The Saracens proved that Etna was not the home of the gods.
21:34The fire of the Pordal came from deep down inside the earth.
21:40Do you ever get tired of knowledge?
21:45No, science is pure.
21:47I am, for more.
21:52What I desire most is inside that citadel.
21:59To me, knowledge is more valuable than gold.
22:05When we set out for Constantinople seven years ago,
22:09I promised I would return to Norway and take back what is mine.
22:16This victory will guarantee that I have treasures enough to do that.
22:23What do you mean?
22:28I know you, my friend.
22:31Your ambition runs as deep as the sea.
22:36Will that be enough to satisfy you?
22:41I know what I want.
22:45And I'm almost there.
22:48I fear that you have placed too much faith in Harald.
22:51I will not argue that he is a gifted warrior, but he is not one of us.
22:56He fights for glory, like all Vikings.
23:00And you do not?
23:02I fight for the glory of the Byzantine Empire, nothing else.
23:06You're you.
23:10Your loyalty and courage is without question.
23:13But your hatred of the Saracen religion has blinded you.
23:19From the moment you arrived in Sicily, the emir has been more inventive.
23:24It is time to let someone else challenge him.
23:28You are risking much if he fails.
23:31I am the emperor of the greatest empire on earth.
23:35I got here by risking much on men who are willing to risk more.
23:55Speak.
23:59I Christianized my people.
24:02Forced them to give up their gods and traditions.
24:06Now I must kneel and kiss the ring of a man who will not even meet me face to face.
24:13What is to keep me from leaving this city today?
24:16We benefit enormously from the support of the church.
24:19It is the support of hypocrites.
24:21Should the pope wish to, he could have you excommunicated.
24:25Shunned.
24:27And England would be alone in all of Europe.
24:29They judge me because I have killed Tupi King, but they forget.
24:33They all have blood on their hands.
24:38My lord, I have spoken with the cardinal and we have come to an understanding.
24:43How much will this understanding cost me?
24:47Three hundreds a lady.
24:49I do not like it. It is not who I am.
24:52I agree your highness, but it is what is needed for England.
25:05Yeah, do it.
25:10I was there this morning.
25:12I saw how the cardinal treated Canute.
25:15They are simply not accustomed to men of your husband's background, my lady.
25:19But fortunately, it has been resolved.
25:21You are naive if you think your bribe will encourage them to alter their perception.
25:26It will only harden it.
25:28If we are to truly change their opinions, I feel we must try a different tack.
25:34I am afraid it is too late for that, your highness.
25:37And I have dealt with the problem.
26:16I am afraid it is too late for that, your highness.
26:21And I have dealt with the problem.
27:16Steve!
27:37You look so beautiful, Revna. Come.
27:46I am so happy for you. Thank you so much.
27:48Mother.
27:51Do you know what the most powerful weapon in the world is?
27:55Is it not our new sword?
27:57It is our mind.
28:16Hello.
28:23I see you have already started my son's training.
28:27He is a bright boy.
28:32He speaks not of his father, however.
28:37He never knew him.
28:39Is he dead?
28:40No.
28:42Not that I know of.
28:45His father and I parted ways before he knew I was a child.
28:49He was a good man.
29:02Score!
29:06This place is not what I expected.
29:08It is vibrant and joyous.
29:11You have picked a good day to arrive.
29:14You mean it is not like this every day?
29:22We have had our struggles.
29:25So evidence of that in the woods.
29:28We are the last holdout of believers in the old gods.
29:32All the lands to the north and south are ruled by Christians.
29:35And their god commands them to destroy us and our faith.
29:40So we must be vigilant for attacks.
29:43I agree you are surrounded, but it is a difficult journey to get here, Fraser.
29:48It has not stopped them before.
29:51So I must keep us ready.
29:55Are these for me?
29:57Thank you so much.
30:00I have never seen a leader who is so loved by her people.
30:04I do not consider myself a very typical leader.
30:09You are most certainly not typical, Frenes.
30:30It has been a long, wonderful day.
30:38I must let you rest.
30:41Or you can rest with me.
31:29Leave me.
31:59No!
32:29Let's go.
32:59You were waiting, weren't you?
33:01Patience.
33:03It won't be long.
33:29Yes, Your Eminence.
33:31His bodyguards.
33:34They have reached our wall, Your Excellency.
33:38We think he is less than two steps away from his leader.
33:43We are at Maliki's room.
33:46Yes, Your Eminence.
33:49His bodyguards.
33:55Why have they chosen our highest ground in which to attack?
33:58Perhaps it is to catch us by surprise.
34:02But our counter-tunnel is finished.
34:06And we will show them the foolishness of their decision.
34:29Come on!
34:31Come on!
34:55Hello, Barangians!
34:58Have I always brought you victory?
35:05Have I ever failed you?
35:13Go! Before the lightning! Hurry, Kassan!
35:28Go!
35:35Then you must trust me.
35:38You must follow me.
35:40When your eyes tell you not to,
35:43you must have faith.
35:46And if you do,
35:49I promise you glory like you have never known.
35:58Where's Kassan?
36:00He was sealing off the tunnel.
36:03Go!
36:05Kassan!
36:09Kassan!
36:11Kassan!
36:13Kassan!
36:27Kassan!
36:43I told you.
36:45The Saracens will collapse their tunnel.
36:48We go!
36:52The Barangians are excellent bodyguards, Emperor.
36:55But they are not.
36:57Listen.
37:16Where are they going?
37:26Go!
37:52No!
37:53Go!
38:03What are you waiting for?
38:05Follow your men!
38:07Follow the Barangians!
38:17Come on, let's go.
38:24Go!
38:34General!
38:47Your eminence,
38:49we must get you back to the castle where you will be safe.
38:53Let's go.
39:24General!
39:39Let's go!
39:43The castle!
39:45Yes!
39:53Let's go!
40:23Let's go!
40:53Let's go!
41:23To be continued...
41:53To be continued...
