02:35Romanos told me everything.
02:40You only wanted a child.
02:47It became clear early in our marriage that he couldn't have children.
02:51He had tried with other wives.
02:53We both agreed that you were the best choice for the father.
03:01You never wished me to have everything.
03:06And you never wished me for your wife.
03:10I had to use your appetite to get what I needed.
03:24What of my men?
03:26Maniakes has turned your trial over to the church.
03:29The patriarch will lead it.
03:31He knows your Varangians won't go against the church, even for you.
03:38He also knows that it makes me powerless to pardon you.
03:47I'm sorry, Harald.
03:51I did not mean for any of this to happen.
03:53You did not lead me into this trap.
03:57It was my greed.
03:59You did not lead me into this trap.
04:03It was my greed.
04:29I want more fires lit.
04:34It's father's return. She hasn't seen them in over seven months.
04:39No sign of our future king.
04:46It would be most fortuitous if the heir was born upon Canute's arrival.
04:51It may come as a shock to you, mother, but you cannot control everything.
04:55Well, I know I can't.
04:57But there are herbs one can take to bring on the birth.
05:00You're not serious.
05:02He's here.
05:04Well, don't just stand there. Get on with your work.
05:07He's coming.
05:10He's coming.
05:24It is good to be back.
05:27On Viking land.
05:31And even better to be in Kattegat.
05:54Father, welcome to Kattegat.
05:57Svein.
06:00This is Queen Emma.
06:02And this is your half-brother, Hatha Canute.
06:06Thank you for arranging such a warm arrival, King Svein.
06:09It is my pleasure, Queen Emma.
06:13Welcome, Hatha.
06:16Father, this is my wife, Katla.
06:20My lord and lady.
06:23I am honored.
06:24It is nice to finally meet you, Katla.
06:27And maybe we will get to meet a grandson before we leave.
06:33I will do what I can, my lord.
06:35Your Highness, welcome to Kattegat.
06:38We are happy to be here, Katla.
06:41And who are the Normans?
06:44They are Emma's sons from her first marriage.
06:48Alfred and Edward.
06:50You brought them here.
06:53I see your visit has a wider purpose.
06:56It does.
06:59Where is your mother, King Svein?
07:02Waiting for us.
07:04In the Great Hall.
07:07Anxiously.
07:10Perhaps you will show my two boys and Hatha Canute around Kattegat while I pay my respects to her.
07:15Come.
07:16We will start in the oldest part of Kattegat.
07:20Where they say of all of our hides who is over one hundred years old.
07:25What's a vulva?
07:27A witch.
07:29Viking witch.
07:31A terrifying concept.
07:41Home to feast on fish, huh?
07:44Just wait till we see how much you caught, little bear.
07:48You will be the hero of all Greenland tonight.
07:55Aki, you are a great sea captain.
07:58You remind me of myself when I was younger.
08:00That is the greatest compliment my father can give.
08:05Well, then I am honored.
08:09Where is the other boat?
08:12Your father's men took it.
08:14Who?
08:15Lang and Vilfil. Right after you left.
08:18Then it is safe. They know what they are doing.
08:20They had no right to take it without permission.
08:23You said you would help us.
08:25We cannot live on fish alone.
08:27We must have goods to trade.
08:29Barefoot, sealskin, narwhal tusks.
08:32So when the traders come, we can stand proud.
08:34And that's all thanks to you, daughter.
08:37Come, Harald.
08:38We must tell grandmother how you caught the giant fish.
08:44There is something I must show you.
08:47The lock is broken.
08:49Half of our supplies have been siphoned off in this way.
08:52Do you know who's doing it?
08:54It's everyone.
08:55We can hardly blame them after everything they've been through.
08:58If we wait much longer, there will be nothing left for us to take with us.
09:03From now on, we take turns in guarding the storehouse.
09:06Tell the others.
09:13It's time for us to leave.
09:22Queen Emma!
09:24Welcome to my home.
09:28Queen Alphihul.
09:30I am grateful for your welcome.
09:36My husband will be along shortly.
09:40I asked if I could precede him.
09:44I am sorry.
09:46I have to go.
09:48I asked if I could precede him.
09:52We are honoured by your visit.
09:55I'm afraid it is a far cry from London.
09:58It is everything I hoped it would be.
10:01And more.
10:03Indeed.
10:05Curnow is dying.
10:10Is this a fact that is well known?
10:13No.
10:18You are one of the few.
10:28For you to share this with me,
10:30you are either a very trusting woman
10:32or a naive one.
10:34And I know you to be neither.
10:38I have told you so that you can appreciate the full reason for his visit.
10:43And not waste it on pettiness.
10:48Thank you.
10:55We both also have sons in line for his throne.
11:01And I have no doubt your feelings are as strong as mine
11:04for their success.
11:07That is true.
11:12And do you have knowledge of Knut's plans for the future?
11:18His plans for succession?
11:20No.
11:23Other than he intends to use all his power
11:25to ensure that no family blood is spilt
11:28from his passing.
11:31How like him.
11:34Yes.
11:35Very much like him.
11:48And how are you?
11:52I'm going to miss him.
11:56This is the great home.
11:59Home of Ragnar Lothbrok,
12:01Yurn Ironside,
12:03and Ivar the Boneless.
12:06This is where I brought together
12:09the great Viking armies of the north
12:12before we journeyed to London.
12:14Where our ancestors have for centuries
12:16shared their stories,
12:18discussed business,
12:20politics,
12:22the rule of law,
12:25ambition.
12:30Even you, Alfred,
12:32have a connection to this place.
12:35Rollo, the First Norman Duke.
12:38Exactly.
12:40I have brought you here
12:42to draw inspiration from this place,
12:46this place of heroes.
12:49Do I qualify as one?
12:51Is she the vulva?
12:54Well, I suppose that depends on whom you ask.
12:59No.
13:02This is Queen Alfievu,
13:05the mother of King Sweyn
13:08and the regent of Norway.
13:10This is her hall.
13:16And we will show her our respect.
13:24Friends, a great week of fishing.
13:27And soon Lang and Vilfell will return
13:29with barefoot sealskins and narwhal's tusks.
13:32And we can start trading again!
13:35Thank you, people of Jomsborg.
13:38Not only for sharing your boats,
13:41but for helping us rebuild our farms and homes.
13:46And I know
13:47some of you are getting very close.
13:52It brings me great joy
13:54to see our two people
13:56become one family.
13:58And we will always be part of this family.
14:01And we thank the gods
14:03we were able to share with you in your time of need.
14:06That is who we are.
14:09But we are leaving.
14:11Tomorrow.
14:12We can wait no longer.
14:17There are four extra seats on our boat.
14:19If anyone else wishes to join us,
14:21let me know now.
14:23Ladies.
14:25Miss Inge, come with us.
14:27If she wishes to.
14:29I do. Thank you.
14:31You're asking Greenlanders
14:33if they want to leave Greenland.
14:35It is like asking fish
14:37if they want to leave the ocean.
14:40This is our home.
14:44We have no desire to leave.
14:46We have no desire to leave.
14:48We have no desire to leave.
14:50We have no desire to leave.
14:52We have no desire to leave.
14:54Is that so?
14:59Are you all happy to stay?
15:03I would like to come too.
15:05What are you doing?
15:07I am an excellent sailor.
15:09And a hard worker.
15:11I would do.
15:14You would leave your families
15:16and your homes
15:18on the promise of a story.
15:20I wish to come, Freydis.
15:40Baniakes has questioned us
15:42about your time with the Empress.
15:44And what have you told him?
15:46That we saw nothing.
15:48Good.
15:50Continue to tell him that.
15:53It's the truth.
15:55Harald, we have always been
15:57loyal to you.
15:59And always will.
16:01But at some point, the truth
16:03cannot be hidden.
16:05I have always only asked
16:07one thing from you.
16:09Your trust.
16:11I ask it one more time.
16:18Come.
16:33You are a brave man
16:35to be this close to me right now.
16:37Please.
16:39Go ahead and try and kill me.
16:41It will only strengthen the case
16:43against you.
16:45What do you want?
16:47That you were sleeping with the Empress.
16:51Crime against the Empire.
16:53Punishable by death
16:55for both of you.
16:57You have no proof.
17:05It is only a matter of time.
17:07And when I do,
17:09the Empress
17:11and all your loyal Varangians
17:13who have light
17:15to protect your secret
17:19will join you
17:21with your execution.
17:33You challenged my leadership.
17:35And you ridiculed mine.
17:37You took advantage
17:39of my generosity and treated me like a fool.
17:41You know full well
17:43if we remain here much longer
17:45we will have no option but to stay.
17:47You robbed me of my people!
17:49They are not your prisoners!
17:51You should not dictate their destinies or mine.
17:53I am leaving you
17:55my second ship and Sid's for the spring.
17:57What is that, charity?
17:59Yes.
18:01I do not wish to see my mother die
18:03because of your stubbornness.
18:13Let's go.
18:35Alexius, by the grace of God,
18:37Archbishop of Constantinople,
18:39new Rome,
18:41the Ecumenical Patriarch.
18:53Harold Sigurdsson,
18:55you are brought before this court of Christ
18:57charged with the most heinous
18:59of crimes.
19:01The murder of our beloved
19:03and great Emperor, Romanos Aigeros.
19:05I did not kill him.
19:07I loved Romanos
19:09with all my heart.
19:11I was with the Emperor
19:13more than anyone here.
19:15If I wished to kill him
19:17why would I have done it at a party
19:19filled with witnesses?
19:21There was a woman there
19:23who killed him.
19:25This
19:27woman you claim killed Romanos.
19:30Can you describe her?
19:32She was wearing a gold mask
19:34that covered her face.
19:36What color
19:38was her hair?
19:40Do you know what costume
19:42she was wearing?
19:44Or jewelry?
19:46So that we might break her down.
19:48I have my men
19:50hunting for her as we speak.
19:54Holy Father,
19:56I have been accused
19:58of the most heinous of crimes
20:00by a man who envies
20:02my success.
20:04A man who has everything to gain
20:06from my downfall.
20:08He has yet to give a reason
20:10why I would kill the man I have
20:12protected like a brother for the last
20:14seven years.
20:16One word.
20:18Ambition.
20:20We all have ambition.
20:22Not like yours.
20:24Not like
20:26Viking ambition.
20:28He was not satisfied
20:30with being Spatharo Candidatus.
20:32He strived
20:34to be more.
20:36To be Emperor.
20:38And he was aided in this quest
20:40by a woman who plotted
20:42with him against her husband.
20:44And slept with
20:46Harald while they did it.
20:50The Emperor Zoe.
20:52Silence!
20:54You have raised a serious
20:56accusation. That place is not
20:58one, but many lives on trial.
21:00Can you prove this
21:02accusation of adultery?
21:06Bring him out.
21:08I present
21:10one of Harald Sigurdsson's
21:12Varangian guard.
21:22Tell me.
21:24You have served Harald Sigurdsson
21:26for seven years.
21:28I have.
21:30He is a great leader.
21:32At any time
21:34did this great leader
21:36ask you
21:38to shield the adultery
21:40that he is now accused of?
21:44No.
21:46I never saw anything.
21:50Never?
21:54Think carefully.
22:00No.
22:06I'll ask you
22:08the question again.
22:10Did Harald Sigurdsson
22:12have sex
22:14with the Empress Zoe?
22:27I will answer that.
22:31I did.
22:41But it was not as described
22:43by Maniakes.
22:45It was not an affair of the heart.
22:47It was against
22:49her wishes.
22:51I defiled her.
22:55My men have told the truth.
22:58They have no knowledge of my crime.
23:00And your meeting
23:02with the Emperor?
23:06When Romanos slandered the rape
23:08he confronted me.
23:12And I killed him.
23:16You understand
23:18that you have committed not one
23:20but two capital offenses.
23:22Murder and rape.
23:24And have admitted to both.
23:28I do.
23:32By my decree
23:34the Empress
23:36and all others are exonerated.
23:38But Harald Sigurdsson
23:40I condemn you to the most horrific of deaths
23:42and execution in front
23:44of your peers.
23:46May you spend eternity
23:48paying for your sins in hell.
23:58So this is the famous casket.
24:01Where I arrived a prince
24:03and they were the king.
24:27I knew by his boots
24:29that he was lying.
24:33Father.
24:35Son.
24:37It is good to see you.
24:39Look at you.
24:41You have grown into a strong young man.
24:43Fighting the Vans
24:45it does wonders for one's strength.
24:47I am a young man
24:49but I am not afraid of anything.
24:51I am a young man
24:53but I am not afraid of anything.
24:55It does wonders for one's strength.
24:59Queen Emma.
25:01As a young boy I saw you
25:03and thought you were the most beautiful woman
25:05I had ever seen.
25:07It would appear my memories are all accurate.
25:09I see he takes after his father.
25:13Hereford.
25:17Mother.
25:19I'd like you to meet
25:21El Godwin of Wessex.
25:23Your mother and I are already acquainted.
25:25Yes.
25:27Sadly so.
25:29My lord.
25:31My lady.
25:33How is Denmark?
25:35Enlightening.
25:37I see now that my children are blessed with their Viking heritage.
25:39I learnt a great deal.
25:41They will stay with me forever.
25:43And Githa?
25:45She's returned home to England with the children, my lady.
25:47And where is my father?
25:49Did he not travel with you?
25:51My father's dead, my lord.
25:53He passed us before we left for Norway.
25:57Forbid his death?
25:59Was he ill?
26:03No.
26:05No, he was...
26:09It was sudden,
26:11your highness.
26:13But expected, given his age
26:15and the circumstance he found himself in.
26:17He was not alone, however.
26:19He had his grandson's company
26:21right up until the last breath.
26:27Well.
26:29Thank God you were with him.
26:33Both of you.
26:39May his soul rest in peace.
26:45Amen.
26:49Amen.
27:11I trust this chamber is adequate
27:13for a man of your status.
27:15Given our history,
27:17I expect nothing more.
27:19I never forget a betrayal.
27:23Another thing.
27:27While you are my guest,
27:29I order that you keep your distance from my son.
27:31I'm afraid you cannot order me to do anything,
27:33Elphibu.
27:35I'm not a servant any longer.
27:37I'm a member of the royal family,
27:39by marriage.
27:41Furthermore,
27:43I could not do what you requested
27:45with the basic skill I possess.
27:47And what is that?
27:49That of always backing the winner.
27:55Edwin could never beat Canute.
27:57Thus I backed Canute.
27:59You could not beat Emma.
28:01Hence I backed the queen.
28:03But Hereford,
28:07given the correct guidance,
28:09could beat everyone.
28:11And you are the man
28:13to provide that guidance.
28:21How do you think I'll change rooms?
28:41You are here.
29:07You are here.
29:12For your families.
29:18You are here.
29:22For your honor.
29:28You are here.
29:31Because you
29:33are
29:35Viking.
29:42Yeah.
29:46I became a Viking that night.
29:55It is good to see you, Greenlander.
29:58It is good to see you, King Canute.
30:12Without you,
30:14things might have turned out
30:16very differently in London.
30:18For us both.
30:22What became of your sister?
30:25Fredis.
30:27I'm not sure.
30:30She went from here to Jomsborg,
30:32but the settlement is now deserted.
30:35What happened?
30:38A plague.
30:41A plague or some sort of attack.
30:44I'm sorry to hear that.
30:47She saved my son Svein's life
30:49after she killed Olaf.
30:51She killed Olaf?
30:54I did not know that.
30:56Where have you been these past years?
31:01Belarus,
31:03Constantinople,
31:05Africa, Sicily.
31:07I served in the Varangian Guard with Harald.
31:11So,
31:13he has forgotten his ambition
31:15to become the next king of Norway, huh?
31:20I'm afraid only he can answer that.
31:26What brought you back here?
31:30I'm in search of a ship and a crew to sail west.
31:33To find a land I believe is out there.
31:38I remember.
31:41You wanted nothing from me
31:43for bringing down London Bridge.
31:46Here.
31:52Let me now
31:54gift you a ship
31:56and a crew
31:58in my name.
32:01And may you bring glory to all Vikings
32:04with your discovery.
32:07It will be an honor
32:09to travel in your name.
32:17And, uh, what about you?
32:20What brought you back to Kattegat?
32:23You remember that conversation we had
32:25about our father's shadow?
32:27Yes.
32:29I have brought my sons here
32:33to see who can step out of the mine.
32:36No.
33:00No.
33:06No.
33:10No.
33:14No.
33:20No.
33:36No.
33:41Did you see your friends?
33:44You thought you were so clever.
33:46But soon
33:48you will be killed
33:50and the name
33:52Harald Sigurdsson
33:54will be forgotten.
33:59I strongly suggest that you kill me now.
34:02Because if you wait for my execution
34:05I promise
34:07I will take you to hell with me.
34:23I can wait.
34:34What?
35:05No.
35:09No.
35:20No.
35:24No.
35:30No.
35:35No.
35:47Not yet, my friend.
35:52Not yet.
36:05Are we all ready for tomorrow?
36:07Yes.
36:34Erik?
36:36Preparing for your voyage tomorrow?
36:38Yes.
36:43I have come
36:45to ask a favor.
36:48I was hoping
36:50you would be able to convince Freydis
36:52to stay here a little longer.
36:57I am afraid
36:59I cannot.
37:01A little longer.
37:05We both know the weather will change soon.
37:08The longer we stay
37:10the harder the journey will become.
37:14Spoken like a true sea captain.
37:28You have a notch on your hull.
37:31What?
37:33You must have damaged it when you docked.
37:39Where?
38:01I don't know.
38:31Where are we going, Grandfather?
38:33We're going on a journey
38:35to save everyone.
38:37Are you ready?
38:39Yes.
38:41Good.
38:43Let's go.
38:45Let's go.
38:47Let's go.
38:49Let's go.
38:51Let's go.
38:53Let's go.
38:55Let's go.
38:57Let's go.
