[00:06] ---
    Well then, what can I do?
[00:11] ---
    How can I protect my
    country from these fools?
[00:18] ---
    As a reward for saving the prince,
[00:21] ---
    the king presents you
    with 50 pounds of silver.
[00:23] ---
    Accept it with gratitude.
[00:27] ---
    I heard that you fought hard to save Canute.
[00:32] ---
    Accept my gratitude.
[00:35] ---
    Yes, Your Highness. Thank
    you for your reward.
[00:40] ---
    I have high expectations of you
    in our battle to subjugate Wales.
[00:48] ---
    It appears that sly old fox has noticed.
[00:55] ---
    Your Highness, with all due respect,
[01:03] ---
    are you sure that your
    plan to subjugate Wales
[01:08] ---
    is the best decision?
[02:46] ---
    End of the Prologue
[02:47] ---
    I believe the campaign to subjugate Wales next spring
    will prove to be a fruitless battle for our army.
[02:53] ---
    Please, reconsider the matter.
[02:56] ---
    Askeladd, you said you weren't going
    to stir up trouble for now.
[03:00] ---
    So that's Askeladd?
[03:02] ---
    I can't believe he objected
    to the king's plan in front of him.
[03:10] ---
    Sorry, Your Highness.
[03:12] ---
    When it comes to Wales, I'm
    not going to back down.
[03:17] ---
    Explain your reasoning.
[03:21] ---
    Thank you.
[03:24] ---
    First, we've been fighting
    the English for 10 years.
[03:30] ---
    We should be focusing on recovery
    for our people and our land right now.
[03:35] ---
    Another reason is that
    the terrain in Wales is perilous,
[03:39] ---
    and as a result, the land is infertile.
[03:42] ---
    Attacking Wales would be
    like whipping our horses
[03:46] ---
    to make them jump off a cliff
    just to catch a single rabbit.
[03:51] ---
    To put it simply, conquering Wales
    isn't worth the cost.
[03:57] ---
    He's right.
[03:58] ---
    I'm glad he said it.
[04:01] ---
    He's good at talking.
[04:04] ---
    This isn't a conquest.
[04:06] ---
    The point is that we can't ignore those
    who show disrespect for the king.
[04:09] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[04:10] ---
    If that's what you're worried about,
[04:14] ---
    please, let me be your messenger.
[04:17] ---
    Allow me to show you that
    I can persuade the people of Wales.
[04:24] ---
    Are you telling me, the king,
    to show courtesy towards them?
[04:29] ---
    To the country you just called "a rabbit"?
[04:33] ---
    If you show courtesy,
[04:35] ---
    then they will understand your generosity.
[04:39] ---
    Please, listen to my entreaty.
[04:54] ---
    Is he going to kill him?
[05:07] ---
    This is how a loyal vassal should act.
[05:11] ---
    The greatest treasure anyone could ever
    offer a king is words of advice.
[05:15] ---
    My army is filled with loyal
    and brave men like this man.
[05:20] ---
    I am unworthy of your praise.
[05:23] ---
    How boring.
[05:29] ---
    Please, continue to lend me your aid.
[05:38] ---
    Wales or Canute, choose one.
[05:43] ---
    Honestly, I don't care about Wales.
[05:48] ---
    Give me Canute's head and join me,
[05:52] ---
    then I'll let Wales go free.
[05:56] ---
    I've looked into who you are a bit.
[05:59] ---
    Your mother really was a slave.
[06:03] ---
    I can guess why you're
    so caught up with Wales.
[06:07] ---
    The only merchandise that Wales produces
[06:10] ---
    is slaves.
[06:19] ---
    What do you think? It still sails.
[06:23] ---
    This is the ship you've
    always wanted to sail on.
[06:26] ---
    I can finally let you onboard.
[06:35] ---
    You can rest until Mord
    and the others return.
[06:38] ---
    - Hurry up. Bring it over here.
    - Okay.
[06:50] ---
    - Is there still a lot left?
    - Yes.
[06:59] ---
    What are you doing? Be careful!
[07:22] ---
    You must be hungry, right?
[07:24] ---
    Give me a minute. I have some good jerky.
[07:29] ---
    Thorfinn.
[07:35] ---
    Thorfinn? Where are you?
[07:37] ---
    Thorfinn?
[07:46] ---
    Thorfinn.
[08:03] ---
    I hate the way your face looks.
[08:07] ---
    I'm not going to let the crown rest
    on top of a head like yours.
[08:17] ---
    Did he just say...?
[08:19] ---
    What did you just say?
[08:24] ---
    Are you deaf too, you old man?
[08:27] ---
    I said, how dare an ugly old man like you
    wear something shiny?
[08:34] ---
    That's not what the face
    of a king looks like.
[08:42] ---
    Don't move, guards.
[08:45] ---
    The king is within reach of my sword.
[08:52] ---
    - Is he serious?
    - Oh, dear.
[08:59] ---
    Askeladd.
[09:01] ---
    You bastard! King Sweyn is mine.
[09:03] ---
    Don't move, Thorkell!
[09:05] ---
    Askeladd's not acting
    normal. Don't provoke him.
[09:13] ---
    Put away your sword,
    then I'll forgive you for this offense.
[09:18] ---
    Forgive me?
[09:19] ---
    Don't push your luck, you savage.
[09:22] ---
    As punishment for mocking
    my family and my people,
[09:25] ---
    you deserve to die!
[09:28] ---
    This is my last warning.
[09:30] ---
    Put away your sword, Askeladd.
[09:34] ---
    That's my nickname.
[09:37] ---
    I'll tell you the name my mother gave me.
    My real name.
[09:42] ---
    Lucius Artorius Castus.
[09:46] ---
    I am the legitimate king who deserves
    to rule over the land of Britannia.
[09:56] ---
    Now. Go!
[10:26] ---
    I feel better now.
[10:36] ---
    All right.
[10:45] ---
    What are you standing there for? Engage!
[10:48] ---
    Engage!
[10:51] ---
    This man is the criminal
    who murdered the king!
[10:53] ---
    Kill him!
[10:59] ---
    Hey, what's going on?
[11:16] ---
    What?
[11:20] ---
    What's he doing?
[11:24] ---
    What's going on?
[11:27] ---
    What's he doing?
[11:29] ---
    That idiot!
[11:45] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:46] ---
    Who wants to die next? Step up!
[11:49] ---
    The king of Britannia is
    going to kill you himself!
[11:54] ---
    Don't be afraid! Surround him!
[12:03] ---
    Die!
[12:09] ---
    Hurry up!
[12:10] ---
    - Don't push!
    - You too!
[12:12] ---
    Out of my way!
[12:14] ---
    Damn. Out of my way!
[12:17] ---
    Askeladd!
[12:25] ---
    Hold it in, Thorkell.
[12:26] ---
    It's not your turn yet.
[12:28] ---
    I don't care anymore.
[12:31] ---
    He's gone mad.
[12:33] ---
    I hate it when someone steals my prey.
[12:37] ---
    He hasn't gone mad.
[12:40] ---
    He's putting on an act.
[12:43] ---
    He just chose to save both me and Wales.
[12:48] ---
    He's only feigning madness in order
    to take the blame for killing the king.
[12:53] ---
    Let him run wild for a bit.
[12:55] ---
    I'll let you put it to an end.
[13:01] ---
    I don't care.
[13:04] ---
    Thorkell.
[13:06] ---
    I know he's your vassal,
[13:09] ---
    but a dog should be handled
    by his own master.
[13:20] ---
    What's wrong, Danes?
[13:23] ---
    Askeladd!
[13:26] ---
    You bastard.
[13:28] ---
    Do you have any idea what you've done?
[13:30] ---
    You killed the king.
[13:32] ---
    What are you talking about?
[13:34] ---
    I'm right here, alive and well.
[13:38] ---
    Shut up! You're the child of a slave!
[13:43] ---
    You swine.
[13:45] ---
    Is that how you talk to a king?
[13:52] ---
    Kneel down!
[13:54] ---
    I'll let you have the
    honor of kissing my shoes
[13:57] ---
    and then die!
[14:01] ---
    Askeladd!
[14:05] ---
    Stay back, Thorfinn!
[14:35] ---
    Is this the first time
    you've stabbed someone, prince?
[14:48] ---
    You did well.
[14:59] ---
    Hey, Askeladd.
[15:03] ---
    Hey, that's...
[15:05] ---
    - Did he kill him?
    - The prince! The prince did it!
[15:18] ---
    Stand straight.
[15:20] ---
    This part is important.
[15:23] ---
    This moment on stage was created for you.
[15:26] ---
    Don't waste it.
[15:31] ---
    Hey, baldie, what are you
    doing sleeping there?
[15:35] ---
    Damn. Damn.
[15:37] ---
    How could you let them
    stab you there, you idiot?
[15:41] ---
    Come on.
[15:43] ---
    Shut up.
[15:46] ---
    Let me rest.
[15:49] ---
    You bastard. Get up. We've got to run away.
[15:54] ---
    You fool.
[15:56] ---
    Just hurry up and do it.
[15:58] ---
    Sorry to make you wait.
[16:02] ---
    I'll give it to you.
[16:04] ---
    I'll give you my life.
[16:07] ---
    Kill me.
[16:09] ---
    We are-- We're enemies after all, right?
[16:16] ---
    Are you going to die?
[16:19] ---
    You?
[16:21] ---
    Hurry up.
[16:24] ---
    There's no time left.
[16:31] ---
    Are you trying to make a
    fool out of me? You bastard.
[16:37] ---
    It wasn't supposed to be like this!
[16:39] ---
    The duel to settle things between me and you
    wasn't supposed to be like this!
[16:44] ---
    I won't forgive you.
[16:46] ---
    Don't die on me.
[16:48] ---
    Get up! Duel me right now!
[16:51] ---
    I'm the one who's supposed to defeat you!
[16:54] ---
    Hey, you!
[16:56] ---
    - You're kidding me! Hurry up and stand!
    - Come on.
[16:59] ---
    This is why I hate kids.
[17:02] ---
    Duel me! Hey!
[17:07] ---
    How
[17:09] ---
    do you plan to live your life?
[17:15] ---
    In the future,
[17:18] ---
    after I die,
[17:20] ---
    how do you plan to live your life, Thorfinn?
[17:28] ---
    You haven't thought about it, right?
[17:33] ---
    Shut up.
[17:35] ---
    Move forward already.
[17:37] ---
    Don't stay
[17:42] ---
    stuck in a damn boring
    place like this forever.
[17:46] ---
    Go far ahead.
[17:50] ---
    Go beyond the world where Thors went.
[17:53] ---
    You're Thors' son. Go.
[18:00] ---
    That's
[18:03] ---
    your real fight.
[18:08] ---
    Become a true warrior,
[18:12] ---
    son of Thors.
[18:45] ---
    Thorfinn, I won't ask you to forgive me.
[18:48] ---
    He was dealt this punishment
    because he went mad suddenly
[18:52] ---
    and committed the crime
    of murdering the king.
[18:55] ---
    However, I'm sure you don't feel like
    serving me now that this has happened.
[19:01] ---
    Go wherever you want.
[19:21] ---
    Kill him!
[19:22] ---
    - He's a traitor!
    - Stop!
[19:25] ---
    Don't kill him!
[19:28] ---
    Stand back. I will decide
    what to do with him.
[19:33] ---
    Thorkell, that's enough.
[19:37] ---
    Being stabbed is a small price to pay.
[19:41] ---
    Your Highness, you should have
    your wounds treated in the inner chambers.
[19:44] ---
    Let me handle matters here.
[19:47] ---
    Take him.
[19:50] ---
    Floki.
[19:53] ---
    Now that the former king has passed,
[19:55] ---
    do you know who the commander
    of the army in England is now?
[20:00] ---
    Well...
[20:02] ---
    What's wrong?
[20:03] ---
    Say it.
[20:16] ---
    Everyone, hear me.
[20:19] ---
    The former king,
[20:20] ---
    His Highness King Sweyn, has passed.
[20:23] ---
    From this day forth, I, Canute,
[20:26] ---
    shall act as the commander of the army
    and the ruler of England!
[20:33] ---
    We will not pursue the subjugation of Wales.
[20:36] ---
    Now that the former king has passed,
[20:37] ---
    I predict that the remnants
    of the English army will revolt.
[20:41] ---
    We must prepare to handle that first.
[20:45] ---
    I will provide further notice
    regarding your rewards later.
[20:50] ---
    That is all. You are dismissed now.
[21:00] ---
    Hey.
[21:22] ---
    Hey.
[21:23] ---
    Hey, you.
