[00:30] ---
    He put up a valiant fight
[00:33] ---
    against a group of English soldiers.
[00:36] ---
    But he was stabbed from behind with a spear,
    and tragically...
[00:40] ---
    Please accept my sincere condolences,
    Your Highness.
[00:47] ---
    We were eating rabbit stew,
[00:50] ---
    and then he left suddenly.
[00:57] ---
    That's weird.
[00:59] ---
    Just now...
[01:01] ---
    But...
[01:07] ---
    We shall leave immediately.
[01:08] ---
    Get ready.
[01:10] ---
    Thorfinn.
[01:11] ---
    Don't leave him alone.
[01:13] ---
    What? You're kidding me! I don't want to!
[01:17] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[01:19] ---
    Guarding the prince is your job!
[01:22] ---
    No!
[02:58] ---
    He's paralyzed with fear.
[03:00] ---
    Is that weakling of a prince going to be okay?
[03:03] ---
    I think your plan backfired, Askeladd.
[03:06] ---
    Maybe you shouldn't have killed Ragnar.
[03:08] ---
    HISTORY OF BEASTS
[03:09] ---
    Don't talk so loudly.
[03:11] ---
    Most of the men don't know what really happened.
[03:14] ---
    The English are the ones who did it.
[03:17] ---
    Don't let the secret out.
[03:18] ---
    I wonder...
[03:21] ---
    Everyone knows you didn't get along with Ragnar.
[03:24] ---
    He may be weak, but he's going to realize
    what happened.
[03:26] ---
    As long as there's no proof, it will be fine.
[03:29] ---
    The reason the prince is so weak
[03:31] ---
    is because Ragnar spoiled him.
[03:33] ---
    I had to make Ragnar disappear.
[03:35] ---
    Otherwise, he'd cause me grief.
[03:37] ---
    The fact that he's weak is a good thing.
[03:39] ---
    It makes him easy to control.
[03:41] ---
    He can be used as the perfect stepping stone
    to achieve greatness in the world.
[03:48] ---
    Bjorn.
[03:50] ---
    Why have you served me for all this time?
[03:55] ---
    Well, it's...
[03:58] ---
    because I wanted to.
[04:00] ---
    I'm the same.
[04:02] ---
    I choose my own lord too.
[04:05] ---
    My lord
[04:06] ---
    must be the type of man that makes me want
    to serve him.
[04:12] ---
    Just kidding.
[04:15] ---
    I'm making a gamble, Bjorn.
[04:17] ---
    If we get lucky,
[04:19] ---
    that prince might completely change.
[04:22] ---
    What are you going to do if you don't get lucky?
[04:25] ---
    He might
    get depressed and never recover.
[04:29] ---
    If that happens, I'll abandon him.
[04:32] ---
    He wouldn't deserve to be my lord.
[04:43] ---
    How's it going? Is he going to crack?
[04:46] ---
    He pisses me off.
[04:48] ---
    He won't even scream.
[04:50] ---
    He thinks he's a martyr.
[04:53] ---
    This is why I hate Christians.
[04:56] ---
    You didn't kick him hard enough.
[04:59] ---
    I'll show you how to do it.
[05:01] ---
    This is how you kick!
[05:05] ---
    Like this!
[05:08] ---
    Good job.
[05:09] ---
    You're bad at kicking too.
[05:10] ---
    Kick him in the jaw.
[05:12] ---
    Wait! It's my turn next!
[05:14] ---
    Stop!
[05:15] ---
    Come on!
[05:16] ---
    Don't overdo it, you guys!
[05:19] ---
    If you kill him, we can't get him to talk!
[05:23] ---
    Go ahead and kill me.
[05:26] ---
    The Lord sees everything.
[05:29] ---
    He's seen all the evil things you Danes have done.
[05:34] ---
    He still has some fight left in him.
[05:37] ---
    Do you have any shears?
[05:39] ---
    Go find them.
[05:40] ---
    What?
[05:42] ---
    Shears, right?
[05:46] ---
    Well, then.
[05:48] ---
    I'll say it again, English captain.
[05:52] ---
    There are three things I want to know.
[05:54] ---
    How many reinforcements do they have?
[05:56] ---
    And how long until they get here?
[06:00] ---
    Lastly, how did they find out we're here?
[06:04] ---
    If you tell me, I'll let you live.
[06:07] ---
    You beasts!
[06:11] ---
    You bastards.
[06:12] ---
    You shall be punished.
[06:15] ---
    A death befitting of you bastards
[06:17] ---
    awaits you...
[06:22] ---
    Hey. Will these shears work?
[06:26] ---
    Yeah.
[06:31] ---
    Captain.
[06:33] ---
    Your fingernails are long.
[06:37] ---
    Long fingernails are dirty.
[06:38] ---
    You should cut them.
[06:45] ---
    Oh, sorry!
[06:46] ---
    I cut too deep.
[06:49] ---
    Hold him down.
[06:51] ---
    There are three things I want to know.
[06:53] ---
    I'll skip the rest.
[06:59] ---
    Oh, I cut too deep again!
[07:01] ---
    I did it twice!
[07:04] ---
    That's so nasty.
[07:07] ---
    What's he holding out for?
[07:09] ---
    Go to hell, you Danes!
[07:13] ---
    You bastards!
[07:14] ---
    If you bastards hadn't come...
[07:18] ---
    You bastards burned down my village!
[07:20] ---
    You tortured my wife and daughter and killed them!
[07:24] ---
    You beasts!
[07:26] ---
    This is our land! Leave!
[07:31] ---
    I see.
[07:33] ---
    We're beasts?
[07:37] ---
    You guys are ignorant.
[07:38] ---
    Let me teach you some history.
[07:41] ---
    You should thank me for sharing this,
[07:43] ---
    you Saxon.
[07:45] ---
    Or is it the Anglos who live in this area?
[07:48] ---
    Well, they're the same thing.
[07:51] ---
    This land
[07:53] ---
    didn't belong to you originally.
[07:57] ---
    The first inhabitants were the Celts.
[07:59] ---
    They lived in the forests and worshiped the spirits.
[08:02] ---
    They were the ancestors of the people
    who live in Wales now.
[08:06] ---
    Then one day, the Romans came.
[08:10] ---
    They were the rulers,
[08:12] ---
    but they lived on this land alongside the Celts
[08:14] ---
    and gave them their knowledge, technology and culture.
[08:18] ---
    The Romans left,
[08:20] ---
    and then you Anglos and Saxons arrived.
[08:24] ---
    It happened 500 years ago.
[08:27] ---
    You didn't give anything to the Celts.
[08:31] ---
    Instead,
[08:33] ---
    you drove out the Celts from these fertile plains
[08:35] ---
    and forced them to live in the wastelands.
[08:38] ---
    You're lying!
[08:39] ---
    I'm not lying.
[08:41] ---
    If the Danes are beasts,
[08:43] ---
    then you Anglo-Saxons are beasts too.
[08:48] ---
    You stole these lands using violence.
[08:51] ---
    We Danes are going to steal these lands
    from you using even greater violence.
[08:56] ---
    You have no objections to that, right?
[09:00] ---
    Shut up!
[09:01] ---
    I don't believe you, you savages!
[09:07] ---
    Teachers hate kids that don't listen.
[09:13] ---
    What?
[09:14] ---
    Captain.
[09:16] ---
    Now that I've got a good look at your face...
[09:21] ---
    Your nose is long.
[09:26] ---
    Askeladd!
[09:34] ---
    How many are there, Ear?
[09:35] ---
    I'm not sure. But there's a lot.
[09:38] ---
    They're coming from the south!
[09:39] ---
    Enemy reinforcements?
[09:41] ---
    In the middle of the night?
[09:44] ---
    The English are attacking at night? Impressive.
[09:49] ---
    They're here!
[09:52] ---
    It's too late! You bastards are going to die!
[09:55] ---
    I can't wait to see you Danes eat each other alive!
[09:59] ---
    - Danes?
    - I'll tell you what's happening.
[10:01] ---
    Thorkell's coming!
[10:03] ---
    Not a bad match, right?
[10:06] ---
    It's Thorkell!
[10:07] ---
    Did he say Thorkell? What are we going to do?
[10:10] ---
    Hey.
[10:12] ---
    Did he say Thorkell?
[10:13] ---
    Who knows? I thought that's what he said.
[10:16] ---
    If it's true, we're in trouble.
[10:19] ---
    Thorkell?
[10:21] ---
    Did you say Thorkell?
[10:23] ---
    No way!
[10:24] ---
    Really?
[10:27] ---
    Thorkell's coming!
[10:36] ---
    Is that the village?
[10:37] ---
    That's what it looks like.
[10:39] ---
    All right! We're going to surround them!
[10:42] ---
    Vali and Ingolf's units, take the left!
[10:45] ---
    Oddr, take the right!
[10:46] ---
    I'm going to take the middle.
[10:49] ---
    Kill anyone you see!
[10:51] ---
    But don't kill the prince.
[10:53] ---
    And there should be a kid with a knife.
[10:57] ---
    Don't kill him either.
[11:02] ---
    He's my playmate.
[11:05] ---
    Thorkell's coming!
[11:07] ---
    Let me go, you buffoon!
[11:10] ---
    Are you going to disobey my orders?
[11:13] ---
    I can't leave Ragnar behind!
[11:15] ---
    I'm not going without Ragnar!
[11:19] ---
    Forget about it, Your Highness.
[11:21] ---
    We only have three sleds.
    We don't have room for a corpse.
[11:25] ---
    Then let's hold a funeral for him.
[11:28] ---
    Pay your respects to the death of a warrior!
    This is an order!
[11:30] ---
    We don't have enough time for that either.
[11:34] ---
    You bastard!
[11:39] ---
    No! I'm not going!
[11:42] ---
    Ragnar! Ragnar--
[11:55] ---
    Ragnar is dead. He won't come even if you call for him.
[12:05] ---
    You bastard...
[12:10] ---
    Askeladd!
[12:12] ---
    They're deserters. They were planning to join Thorkell.
[12:17] ---
    They were hiding in the straw.
[12:25] ---
    Ragnar was right!
[12:28] ---
    Luck's not on your side right now.
[12:31] ---
    We're not the only ones.
[12:33] ---
    Everyone knows we're in trouble.
[12:37] ---
    We're in big trouble this time. You're...
[12:41] ---
    Thorkell has you by the tail.
[12:51] ---
    Go ahead.
[12:53] ---
    Listen, men. Follow whichever leader you want.
[12:58] ---
    If you're going to leave, then leave!
    I won't blame you.
[13:01] ---
    If you're going to come with me,
[13:04] ---
    then march!
[13:08] ---
    We're going to march until we lose Thorkell!
[13:13] ---
    Walk while you eat, and walk while you sleep!
[13:17] ---
    Listen, men!
[13:18] ---
    If you can't keep up, then you're dead.
[13:53] ---
    Wait, Thorkell!
[13:54] ---
    We're not like Askeladd.
[13:57] ---
    We want to join you--
[14:08] ---
    So, your leader's name is Askeladd?
[14:15] ---
    Oh, what a nice sword.
[14:18] ---
    - It's mine now!
    - Oh, nice.
[14:21] ---
    The fact that some of their men deserted
[14:24] ---
    means they must be really worried.
[14:28] ---
    Poor things.
[14:30] ---
    You should've just let them join us.
[14:32] ---
    It's okay. They're worthless.
[14:35] ---
    I don't need cowards who surrender
    without putting up a fight.
[14:42] ---
    Men, to the east! We're going to chase down the prince!
[14:46] ---
    Give it everything you got!
[14:48] ---
    Yeah!
[14:56] ---
    The right! You're too far to the right!
[14:58] ---
    Move it back.
[15:00] ---
    No! I meant my right.
[15:03] ---
    JANUARY 1014 AD
    UPPER SEVERN RIVER, EARLDOM OF MERCIA
[15:06] ---
    -That's right. Keep going. Go slow.
    - - Heave ho!
[15:08] ---
    Hurry up!
[15:09] ---
    You're holding us up back here!
[15:15] ---
    Torgrim. Atli. Come with me.
[15:18] ---
    - Okay.
    - Okay.
[15:20] ---
    Destroy this bridge. You guys take the lead.
[15:24] ---
    - Hurry.
    - Okay.
[15:26] ---
    We're going to take the bridge apart.
[15:28] ---
    Pitch in if you have an ax!
[15:31] ---
    I'm so tired.
[15:33] ---
    Is Thorkell nearby, Ear?
[15:35] ---
    They're being too loud. I'm not sure.
[15:37] ---
    We might have enough time to destroy the bridge.
[15:52] ---
    Hey! Hold on! You, there, priest!
[15:54] ---
    What are you doing?
[15:57] ---
    Do you have any booze?
[15:59] ---
    Even if I did, I wouldn't give you any.
[16:02] ---
    We don't even have enough for ourselves.
[16:04] ---
    I don't have any booze for you.
[16:06] ---
    Can't you tell we're in a tight spot right now, priest?
[16:27] ---
    The water's really cold.
[16:29] ---
    Hey! This river's pretty shallow.
[16:33] ---
    They'll be able to cross it on foot!
[16:35] ---
    What's the point of destroying the bridge?
[16:39] ---
    But we can't just leave it here.
[16:42] ---
    Maybe it'll piss them off at least.
[16:46] ---
    Looks like Askeladd ran out
    of those bright ideas of his.
[17:00] ---
    Bjorn! Thorfinn!
[17:10] ---
    - What's wrong?
    - Come over here.
[17:13] ---
    What's going on?
[17:16] ---
    Bjorn. Move the prince over to this carriage here.
[17:19] ---
    You be the driver.
[17:21] ---
    Thorfinn, you ride with the prince. Be on standby.
[17:25] ---
    What?
[17:29] ---
    Hey!
[17:31] ---
    Askeladd!
[17:33] ---
    Are you serious?
[17:36] ---
    It's my special talent.
[17:39] ---
    I can tell what a man is like
[17:41] ---
    just by looking at his face.
[17:44] ---
    Whether he's an important man, or a nobody.
    Smart, or dumb.
[17:47] ---
    I can tell that
    there are some traitors among the loyal.
[17:54] ---
    What?
[17:56] ---
    Take the prince? Are you crazy?
[17:57] ---
    Idiot! Don't say it so loudly!
[18:00] ---
    Atli.
[18:01] ---
    This army is done for already.
[18:04] ---
    Let's join Thorkell's army
    and give him the prince as a gift.
[18:07] ---
    More than half of the other men are already on our side.
[18:11] ---
    We'll be able to convince the other half easily.
[18:15] ---
    You're going to betray him?
[18:18] ---
    Betray Askeladd?
[18:20] ---
    Don't call it a betrayal, Atli.
[18:24] ---
    He's a good leader. He's done a good job.
[18:28] ---
    That's why we're going to make him
    take responsibility as the leader.
[18:31] ---
    We'll be fine! We'll be able to escape!
[18:34] ---
    We've always been able to escape, right?
[18:37] ---
    Well, up until now.
[18:39] ---
    But what about recently?
[18:41] ---
    He's made the wrong call, one after the other.
[18:44] ---
    He's run out of luck.
[18:46] ---
    And Thorkell found us,
    even though we thought he was beat.
[18:51] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
[18:54] ---
    Well, you're right. He's a good leader.
[18:58] ---
    Then why did he mess with Thorkell?
[19:02] ---
    Brother...
[19:03] ---
    I'm not happy about this either.
[19:06] ---
    But we can't help it.
[19:08] ---
    Askeladd made a bet, and he lost.
[19:11] ---
    That's all.
[19:24] ---
    Good job.
[19:26] ---
    They're going to have a hard time getting their
    sleds and cargo across.
[19:30] ---
    What if they abandon their cargo and keep chasing us?
[19:32] ---
    Then they're going to lose time finding food.
[19:36] ---
    They won't be able to follow us very far without eating.
[19:40] ---
    All right! Resume the march!
[19:51] ---
    They're here!
[19:59] ---
    Oh, I saw a flash!
[20:22] ---
    I...
[20:25] ---
    found you!
[20:35] ---
    - Unbelievable!
    - No way...
[20:37] ---
    - A spear?
    - Three of them? That's impossible!
[20:40] ---
    No! There were four of them!
[20:42] ---
    - This is bad.
    - Damn! This is bad!
[20:43] ---
    - This is really bad!
    - All right!
[20:46] ---
    Calm down, men!
[20:48] ---
    He's still far away.
[20:50] ---
    And we destroyed the bridge.
    Forget about that spear just now.
[20:54] ---
    Bridge?
[20:55] ---
    What about the bridge?
[20:57] ---
    They'll be able to cross that river on foot!
[21:00] ---
    Destroying the bridge was useless!
[21:02] ---
    Is that what you think?
[21:04] ---
    If that's what you think,
    then we're leaving right now.
[21:06] ---
    Every minute is precious.
[21:10] ---
    Not again!
[21:12] ---
    You keep saying march, march, march!
[21:15] ---
    Don't you know any other words?
[21:17] ---
    You!
[21:21] ---
    We can't win against Thorkell.
[21:23] ---
    Just bear with it for one more day.
[21:26] ---
    Destroying the bridge will start to pay off then.
[21:30] ---
    They can only march as fast as they can
    carry their cargo.
[21:32] ---
    They're going to have trouble getting their cargo across.
[21:36] ---
    If they leave their cargo behind to chase us,
    they won't be able to replenish supplies.
[21:40] ---
    They'll only be able to march for one day like that.
[21:43] ---
    Understand, men?
[21:45] ---
    If you understand, start marching!
[21:47] ---
    There's no guarantee we'll be able
    to survive one more day!
[21:57] ---
    Oh, really? Then this is where we say goodbye.
[22:01] ---
    I'm in a hurry. Excuse me.
