[00:03] ---
    I see. So, Canute is dead?
[00:09] ---
    No. He went missing, to be precise.
[00:14] ---
    Ragnar's unit tried to rescue Canute,
[00:17] ---
    and engaged Thorkell in
    battle at Marlborough.
[00:21] ---
    In the midst of the confusion,
[00:23] ---
    His Highness the Prince went missing.
[00:29] ---
    Then aren't they still
    surrounded by Thorkell's men?
[00:33] ---
    Yes. However, we didn't see anyone among
    Thorkell's men
[00:37] ---
    who looked like he could
    be the prince for two days.
[00:44] ---
    He may still be alive
    and is waiting for help.
[00:49] ---
    However, even if we were to send help,
[00:51] ---
    we'd have to wait until spring.
[00:54] ---
    I'm sure you must be very worried,
[00:57] ---
    Your Highness.
[01:03] ---
    If Canute
[01:05] ---
    had been as talented
[01:08] ---
    as his brother Harald,
[01:12] ---
    he might not have
    ended up missing.
[02:54] ---
    Wow! It's snowing!
[02:56] ---
    AFTER YULE
[02:57] ---
    The war is ending!
[03:00] ---
    Winter.
[03:01] ---
    DECEMBER 1013
    GLOUCESTER, EARLDOM OF MERCIA
[03:03] ---
    You're cold enough to freeze
    even a warrior's heart.
[03:07] ---
    Oh, winter!
[03:09] ---
    Captain. Roasted pork or boiled pork.
    What do you want?
[03:13] ---
    Give me both!
[03:20] ---
    I can't understand you.
    Swallow your food first.
[03:23] ---
    Okay.
[03:26] ---
    In any case,
[03:29] ---
    the fact that the prince
    escaped was a big loss to us.
[03:32] ---
    He didn't escape! You handed him over.
[03:35] ---
    That prince was a coward,
    but he could have been useful.
[03:40] ---
    We could have put him on a pedestal
    and started a new dynasty.
[03:44] ---
    It would have helped gather soldiers for an army
    at least.
[03:47] ---
    If you're the one who's going to carry him,
[03:50] ---
    you'd be pretty powerful.
[03:52] ---
    Indeed. What?
[03:54] ---
    Hey, you! English girl!
[03:57] ---
    Yes?
[03:58] ---
    Beer! Bring a keg!
[04:01] ---
    Excuse me! They ordered another keg!
[04:04] ---
    Another one? Damn!
[04:06] ---
    Those rascals! They're going to eat through
    the entire city!
[04:11] ---
    This is robbery!
[04:14] ---
    Stop crying!
[04:19] ---
    If I was going to lose the prince anyway,
    I should have given him to the English instead.
[04:26] ---
    What?
[04:27] ---
    You're so difficult.
[04:30] ---
    As soon as the fire starts to die down,
    you go looking for another spark.
[04:34] ---
    Of course, you bastard!
[04:37] ---
    We're warriors!
[04:39] ---
    A warrior is a warrior when
    he's on the battlefield!
[04:45] ---
    But you know...
[04:46] ---
    I heard some bad news about that.
[04:51] ---
    They're going to recognize King Sweyn
    as the Bretwalda
[04:54] ---
    at the next Witenagemot in Wessex.
[04:57] ---
    What?
[04:59] ---
    That's total surrender!
[05:01] ---
    That's right. Denmark is going
    to swallow England whole.
[05:05] ---
    The nobility want to end the war, even if it means
    surrendering the throne.
[05:11] ---
    Every time I get a bad feeling about something,
    why does it always come true?
[05:15] ---
    What are you going to do? Attack King Sweyn,
    even if it means certain death?
[05:19] ---
    You idiot!
[05:20] ---
    I love fighting, but I hate losing!
[05:24] ---
    When I fight, I fight to win!
[05:32] ---
    This is no fun.
[05:34] ---
    I wish the world would be at war forever.
[05:39] ---
    It's a messenger! Is the lord here?
[05:48] ---
    Anything out of the ordinary, Ear?
[05:50] ---
    There sure is. It's damn cold.
[05:54] ---
    The snow absorbs sounds.
[05:55] ---
    NORTH PART OF EARLDOM OF MERCIA
    ASKELADD'S ARMY CONTROLLED FARM VILLAGE
[05:58] ---
    Even I can't hear that far anymore.
[05:59] ---
    It's better than keeping
    guards all over the place.
[06:02] ---
    We can avoid giving away our position.
[06:06] ---
    Then do something about those guys.
[06:10] ---
    They're obviously not farmers.
[06:12] ---
    - Monks? Keep an eye on them, too.
    - Father, forgive us.
[06:17] ---
    "Forgive us." Hear that?
[06:21] ---
    Must they constantly beg for forgiveness?
[06:25] ---
    What a pain.
[06:29] ---
    Oh, God Most High,
[06:32] ---
    Our Father in Heaven,
[06:34] ---
    please gather the souls of the villagers
[06:38] ---
    who lie in rest here to your side.
[06:41] ---
    Please save the souls of the men who killed
    these people.
[06:45] ---
    Please forgive us for our sins.
[06:51] ---
    This isn't the time to be praying for someone else,
    you bastards.
[07:02] ---
    Father.
[07:03] ---
    Can you hear my voice?
[07:10] ---
    Our Father.
[07:12] ---
    You
[07:13] ---
    created us in your image.
[07:18] ---
    But you didn't give us your power.
[07:23] ---
    Father.
[07:25] ---
    If you love both good
    men and bad men equally,
[07:30] ---
    why do you test us, despite
    our powerlessness?
[07:35] ---
    Father.
[07:37] ---
    Can you
[07:39] ---
    hear my voice?
[07:43] ---
    Our Father.
[07:46] ---
    I doubt
[07:49] ---
    - your love.
    - Enough!
[08:01] ---
    Did you say...
[08:03] ---
    you doubt the Father?
[08:09] ---
    And you call yourself a Christian?
    You should fear the Lord!
[08:14] ---
    We must not doubt the Father's love!
[08:21] ---
    Every father...
[08:23] ---
    Every father loves his own child.
[08:31] ---
    Your Highness...
[08:35] ---
    Oh! Wait!
[08:48] ---
    Father...
[08:52] ---
    An army of Danes?
[08:53] ---
    Really?
[08:55] ---
    Yes. That's what the message said.
[08:57] ---
    They've occupied a village
    at the head of the Severn River.
[09:02] ---
    We've received a request for reinforcements
    from the local lord.
[09:05] ---
    According to one of the
    villagers who survived,
[09:09] ---
    the enemy has around 100 to 200 men.
[09:11] ---
    Soldiers from neighboring areas are already
    heading there,
[09:16] ---
    but we wanted to ask you to come too, Thorkell,
    because of your military fame.
[09:20] ---
    - What do you think?
    - Nothing, really.
[09:23] ---
    There aren't a lot of Danish units who would
    act alone there
[09:28] ---
    at this time of year.
[09:30] ---
    They feigned to go by sea,
    but they're heading to Gainsborough by land.
[09:34] ---
    They must have been snowed in and are stuck.
[09:38] ---
    I'm almost certain it's...
[09:44] ---
    Thorfinn and Canute.
[09:47] ---
    All right! Wake everyone
    up! Get ready to march!
[09:52] ---
    And...
[09:53] ---
    Hey, you.
[09:55] ---
    Pack us some lunch.
[09:58] ---
    For 500 men. Five days will be enough.
[10:01] ---
    Five hundred?
[10:06] ---
    Here we go.
[10:08] ---
    This is fun. If we do this right,
[10:13] ---
    we can enjoy this war for a long time!
[10:27] ---
    How many men are there? Ear?
[10:29] ---
    Who knows? Maybe 50, or 100.
[10:32] ---
    They're extending their line
    to the east along the forest.
[10:36] ---
    They discovered us quickly.
[10:39] ---
    Did we make a mistake somewhere?
[10:40] ---
    I don't know...
[10:42] ---
    They found us. We can't change that.
[10:45] ---
    We're leaving?
[10:47] ---
    Tonight? That's impossible!
[10:50] ---
    I've only finished two sleds!
[10:52] ---
    I just started on the third one yesterday!
[10:54] ---
    Really? Thanks. Then finish them by tonight.
[10:58] ---
    We'll abandon the ones we can't finish.
[11:00] ---
    I said that's impossible!
[11:03] ---
    We only have two carpenters!
[11:05] ---
    The English army found us.
[11:08] ---
    - They found us?
    - Yeah.
[11:10] ---
    They came through the snow.
[11:12] ---
    They must really hate the Danes.
[11:15] ---
    Impossible...
[11:16] ---
    We must hurry, or we'll miss our chance
    to escape.
[11:20] ---
    Understand? Hurry and finish.
[11:21] ---
    Okay.
[11:23] ---
    Bjorn! Prepare the men for battle.
[11:26] ---
    Capture their commander.
    I want to find out how they found us.
[11:30] ---
    Understood.
[11:32] ---
    Wait, Bjorn.
[11:34] ---
    One more thing.
[11:36] ---
    This is a good opportunity.
[11:38] ---
    Let's do what we discussed as well.
[11:42] ---
    They found us?
[11:44] ---
    This is bad.
[11:46] ---
    We'll be fine! The English are weak.
[11:50] ---
    No. That's not what I mean.
[11:53] ---
    I was talking about Askeladd's luck.
[11:55] ---
    Luck?
[11:57] ---
    First the heavy snowfall, and now this.
[11:59] ---
    This is the first time his
    plans have ever been ruined.
[12:10] ---
    Oh! What a tasty-looking rabbit!
[12:14] ---
    - Are you the one who caught it, Thorfinn?
    - What?
[12:18] ---
    Are you going to eat it alone?
    Are you going to roast it?
[12:21] ---
    Why do you care?
[12:24] ---
    It's not good to eat nothing but meat!
[12:26] ---
    Boil it with some vegetables!
[12:29] ---
    I'll make some soup with that rabbit.
[12:32] ---
    Shut up. I can eat my
    own food however I want.
[12:37] ---
    You're going to borrow someone's
    stove anyway, right?
[12:40] ---
    Come over here!
[12:45] ---
    Your Highness! I've brought broad beans,
    cabbage, and rabbit!
[12:48] ---
    Rabbit?
[12:49] ---
    Yes. Thorfinn caught it.
[12:52] ---
    I thought it would be
    good to add to the soup.
[13:01] ---
    Thanks.
[13:02] ---
    Drain the blood and remove its organs.
[13:15] ---
    The ingredients are simple,
    but it tastes good.
[13:18] ---
    It's because of the rabbit.
[13:19] ---
    I've grown tired of eating
    salted-cured meat. Thank you.
[13:26] ---
    What's wrong? Don't hold back.
[13:28] ---
    It's your rabbit.
[13:37] ---
    It's good, right? Catch us a deer next time!
[13:43] ---
    I thought royals only did the eating.
[13:46] ---
    It's my hobby. I don't usually cook.
[13:49] ---
    No one knows about it except Ragnar.
[13:51] ---
    You can't tell anyone either, okay?
[13:54] ---
    There's nothing wrong with it.
[13:58] ---
    A long time ago,
[13:59] ---
    I cooked some cod.
[14:02] ---
    It turned out well,
[14:04] ---
    so I brought it to my father.
[14:14] ---
    But His Highness didn't eat it.
[14:17] ---
    He was very angry.
[14:19] ---
    "You're the child of a king! Don't act like a slave!"
    That's what he said.
[14:25] ---
    I wasn't supposed to cook after that.
[14:29] ---
    A king's child doesn't need to know how to do
    things like this.
[14:36] ---
    At that time,
[14:38] ---
    His Highness must have been very busy.
[14:41] ---
    When this war is over, let's cook some poultry
    and bring it to him.
[14:45] ---
    I'm sure he'd be happy.
[14:52] ---
    What kind of poultry?
[14:53] ---
    I've never cooked poultry before.
[14:56] ---
    Chicken, or duck.
[14:58] ---
    Do you remember the duck you ate during Yule?
[15:02] ---
    Yes. That was delicious.
[15:04] ---
    I asked the cook for his secret.
[15:07] ---
    He made good use of the broth.
[15:10] ---
    The broth? I see.
[15:14] ---
    Ragnar!
[15:16] ---
    You idiot! I have a message!
[15:20] ---
    What is it? What's wrong?
[15:22] ---
    The enemy has found us.
[15:24] ---
    A battle has begun in the woods to the east.
[15:27] ---
    What?
[15:29] ---
    They don't have a lot of men,
[15:31] ---
    but please be careful.
[15:36] ---
    What's going on?
[15:37] ---
    We've only been in this village for ten days!
[15:40] ---
    - How come they found us?
    - How am I supposed to know?
[15:46] ---
    What's going on?
[15:48] ---
    We even killed all the villagers...
[15:53] ---
    In any case,
[15:55] ---
    we're going to move once we defeat the English.
    Get ready.
[15:58] ---
    That's why I first said
[16:00] ---
    we should turn back to Wales!
[16:02] ---
    No. We're heading for Derby.
[16:06] ---
    He still wants to keep walking through
[16:08] ---
    enemy lands in this situation?
[16:10] ---
    Bring Askeladd here. Now!
[16:13] ---
    He's leading at the frontline right now.
[16:16] ---
    If you want to talk to him, you should go
    see him yourself.
[16:20] ---
    I'll show you the way.
[16:24] ---
    Unbelievable! You men are
    just like your leader!
[16:27] ---
    You don't have any manners!
[16:29] ---
    He can't even read his own luck!
[16:32] ---
    And he's a Norse warrior?
[16:34] ---
    I swear on my sword, I'm going to show him
[16:37] ---
    how foolish he is today!
[16:43] ---
    Hey!
[16:44] ---
    Hey!
[16:46] ---
    The sound of the battle
    is coming from that way!
[16:51] ---
    You finally noticed? You're so slow.
[16:55] ---
    What? You bastards! What are you--?
[17:18] ---
    You bastards...
[17:20] ---
    Sorry, Conehead.
[17:23] ---
    It's orders from Askeladd.
[17:36] ---
    Want to fight? We're okay with that.
[17:40] ---
    But you're going to die anyway.
[17:49] ---
    Bring Askeladd here! I have something important
    to tell him.
[17:53] ---
    Is it your dying wish? I'll listen. Tell me.
[17:56] ---
    Just bring him here!
[17:59] ---
    It's related to His Highness the Prince.
[18:01] ---
    I need to talk to him directly.
[18:05] ---
    Hurry!
[18:08] ---
    Let's hear your dying wish.
[18:20] ---
    Shall we speak in private?
[18:25] ---
    The cries stopped.
[18:27] ---
    The battle is over.
[18:34] ---
    Unbelievable.
[18:37] ---
    The soup got cold.
[18:42] ---
    I'm grateful to you.
[18:45] ---
    You did a good job keeping
    that coward of a prince alive.
[18:49] ---
    Your death will cause him to grow
[18:51] ---
    even further.
[18:55] ---
    I will take over that job starting today,
[18:59] ---
    in place of you, who was
[19:02] ---
    "killed by the English."
[19:07] ---
    Swear to your god!
[19:10] ---
    Swear that you'll take over for me,
[19:13] ---
    and that...
[19:16] ---
    you'll protect His Highness Canute
    at whatever the cost!
[19:23] ---
    I will protect His Highness Canute
    at whatever the cost,
[19:27] ---
    and ensure that Ragnar the warrior
    did not die in vain.
[19:31] ---
    Are you satisfied?
[19:34] ---
    It fills me with regret
[19:36] ---
    to leave His Highness with you.
[19:39] ---
    You should hurry.
[19:41] ---
    You've lost a lot of blood.
[19:50] ---
    Before you reach
[19:53] ---
    Gainsborough,
[19:56] ---
    you should prepare yourself...
[20:02] ---
    The court in Jelling
[20:05] ---
    are fighting over who will
    be the next king of Denmark
[20:08] ---
    and has split into two factions.
[20:12] ---
    One of the factions picked
    His Highness Canute
[20:14] ---
    as their leader.
[20:17] ---
    The other faction chose Canute's brother,
[20:21] ---
    Harald.
[20:23] ---
    They don't care about what
[20:25] ---
    either of them wants.
[20:28] ---
    It's just a power struggle
[20:30] ---
    amongst those traitors.
[20:34] ---
    His Highness the King feared
[20:36] ---
    that the Kingdom of Denmark would be split.
[20:41] ---
    His heart was probably already decided.
[20:50] ---
    He decided to kill
[20:52] ---
    one of the princes.
[20:55] ---
    King Sweyn decided to kill the prince?
[20:58] ---
    The reason that the king
[21:00] ---
    took the prince to the battlefield with him
[21:03] ---
    was to have the prince die in battle.
[21:07] ---
    Be careful.
[21:09] ---
    Prince Canute's real enemy
[21:13] ---
    is now
[21:15] ---
    his father, King Sweyn
[21:18] ---
    himself.
[21:21] ---
    Go into exile.
[21:24] ---
    That's the only way now.
[21:28] ---
    In Gainsborough,
[21:30] ---
    my brother will make preparations
[21:35] ---
    for you...
[21:46] ---
    What's going on?
[21:48] ---
    You should have told me earlier.
[21:54] ---
    Please.
[21:56] ---
    Just one...
[21:59] ---
    last look...
[22:01] ---
    Let me see His Highness.
[22:04] ---
    To say goodbye...
[22:07] ---
    No.
[22:14] ---
    Your Highness...
[22:16] ---
    Once this war is over...
[22:24] ---
    let's cook poultry together.
[22:28] ---
    I'm sure
[22:31] ---
    the king would be...
[22:36] ---
    happy.
