1. I see.
Copy !req
2. So, Canute is dead?
Copy !req
3. No.
Copy !req
4. To be precise, he went missing.
Copy !req
5. Ragnar's men clashed with Thorkell in Marlborough in an attempt to save His Highness.
Copy !req
6. And in the midst of the chaos,
Copy !req
7. His Highness went missing.
Copy !req
8. So he is no longer held captive by Thorkell's men?
Copy !req
9. Correct. We observed Thorkell's force for two more days,
Copy !req
10. but we have not seen anyone resembling His Highness among them.
Copy !req
11. Perhaps he is still alive and waiting for help.
Copy !req
12. However, no rescue expedition can be dispatched until the spring.
Copy !req
13. I can sense your concern, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
14. If only Canute had a greater affinity for ruling than his brother, Harald.
Copy !req
15. Perhaps he would never have been lost.

Copy !req

Copy !req
89. Oh winter...
Copy !req
90. GLOUCESTER, EARLDOM OF MERCIA
Copy !req
91. GLOUCESTER, EARLDOM OF MERCIA
Copy !req
92. Must you freeze even the hearts of warriors?
Copy !req
93. Dear winter!
Copy !req
94. Hey, captain!
Copy !req
95. How do you like your pork? Boiled or seared?
Copy !req
96. Give me both!
Copy !req
97. Swallow your food first and I might understand.
Copy !req
98. 'Kay.
Copy !req
99. After all's said and done,
Copy !req
100. it really hurt to let the prince get away.
Copy !req
101. Get away? You handed him over.
Copy !req
102. He might've been a coward, but he had his uses.
Copy !req
103. We could have raised him up and proclaimed him the new king.
Copy !req
104. He'd have been useful even just to recruit soldiers.
Copy !req
105. With you as his bannerman,
Copy !req
106. we might've raised ourselves a bit of an army, eh?
Copy !req
107. Indeed.
Copy !req
108. What?
Copy !req
109. Hey! You there, English girl!
Copy !req
110. Can I help you?
Copy !req
111. Any beer left? Bring over a barrel.
Copy !req
112. Hey, they ordered another keg!
Copy !req
113. Oh, not again!
Copy !req
114. Those gluttons are going to eat through the whole village!
Copy !req
115. They might as well be pillaging at this rate!
Copy !req
116. Stop sniveling!
Copy !req
117. I mean, if Canute was gonna get away anyway,
we might as well have given him to the English.
Copy !req
118. What?
Copy !req
119. You're a wicked man, Thorkell.
Copy !req
120. When you sense the flames of war
are growing dim, you stoke them up again.
Copy !req
121. And why the hell wouldn't I?
Copy !req
122. We're warriors, aren't we?
Copy !req
123. It's a battlefield that makes a warrior!
Copy !req
124. Well, in that case...
Copy !req
125. I'm afraid I've got some bad news about that.
Copy !req
126. There's to be a Witenagemot soon in Wessex.
Copy !req
127. Sweyn is to be crowned the Bretwalda: King of the Britons.
Copy !req
128. What?
Copy !req
129. That's total surrender!
Copy !req
130. Indeed.
Copy !req
131. Denmark will swallow England whole.
Copy !req
132. It looks like the nobility wants to end this war so badly that they're willing to abdicate the throne.
Copy !req
133. Why do my worst feelings always come true?
Copy !req
134. So what's the plan?
Copy !req
135. One last hurrah, a final assault on King Sweyn's stronghold?
Copy !req
136. You idiot!
Copy !req
137. I love fighting, but I hate losing!
Copy !req
138. I only fight to win!
Copy !req
139. This blows.
Copy !req
140. If only the entire world could be at war all the time.
Copy !req
141. It's a messenger!
Copy !req
142. Is the lord here?
Copy !req
143. Anything troubling you, Ear?
Copy !req
144. I'll say. It's fuckin' freezing.

Copy !req
147. The snow sucks up all the sound.
Copy !req
148. Even I can't hear that far anymore.
Copy !req
149. It's still better than sending out scouting patrols.
Copy !req
150. This way we don't give away our position.
Copy !req
151. Then you might wanna do something about them.
Copy !req
152. No one'd confuse 'em for simple farmers.
Copy !req
153. Father, forgive us our sins.
Copy !req
154. The holy folk? Keep an eye on them too.
Copy !req
155. "Forgive us our sins," they say.
Copy !req
156. Do they have to beg for forgiveness every time they so much as fart?
Copy !req
157. What a pain.
Copy !req
158. Oh, heavenly Father
Copy !req
159. who reigns above.
Copy !req
160. Please guide the souls of those who rest here to your side.
Copy !req
161. Bring salvation to the souls of the men who killed them.
Copy !req
162. And forgive us our sins.
Copy !req
163. You've got better uses for your time than praying for others.
Copy !req
164. Father.
Copy !req
165. Does my voice even reach your ears above?
Copy !req
166. Our Father.
Copy !req
167. You...
Copy !req
168. created us in your image.
Copy !req
169. But you did not grant us your strength.
Copy !req
170. Father.
Copy !req
171. If you love the good and the wicked alike,
Copy !req
172. then why do you test us in our weakness?
Copy !req
173. Father above.
Copy !req
174. Does my voice reach your ears?
Copy !req
175. Our Father.
Copy !req
176. I admit...
Copy !req
177. I begin to doubt your love.
Copy !req
178. Silence!
Copy !req
179. You dare...
Copy !req
180. to doubt God?
Copy !req
181. And you call yourself a follower of Christ?
Copy !req
182. You ought to be ashamed!
Copy !req
183. Doubting God's love is the last thing a devout Christian should ever do!
Copy !req
184. There is no father...
Copy !req
185. There is no father who would not love his own son!
Copy !req
186. Your Highness...
Copy !req
187. Oh! Just a moment!
Copy !req
188. Father...
Copy !req
189. Danish soldiers?
Copy !req
190. You're certain?
Copy !req
191. Yes. That's what the message said.
Copy !req
192. They've apparently taken over a small village up the Severn.
Copy !req
193. The lord of the area sent out a summons for help, see...
Copy !req
194. According to the only survivor,
Copy !req
195. the enemy has around one to two hundred men.
Copy !req
196. Soldiers from neighboring areas are already heading there,
Copy !req
197. but we were thinking about asking the great and heroic Thorkell to come along.
Copy !req
198. What do you think?
Copy !req
199. Seems clear to me.
Copy !req
200. There can't be many Danish contingents of that size acting independently at this time of year.
Copy !req
201. They feint going by sea and then march over land to Gainsborough,
Copy !req
202. only to take to hibernation when the snow traps them?
Copy !req
203. That's my guess.
Copy !req
204. Thorfinn and Canute.
Copy !req
205. All right!
Copy !req
206. Wake everyone up! We're going marching!
Copy !req
207. And...
Copy !req
208. Hey, you.
Copy !req
209. We'll need provisions for the band.
Copy !req
210. Enough for five hundred.
Copy !req
211. Five days' worth should do it.
Copy !req
212. Five hundred?
Copy !req
213. Now this is more like it!
Copy !req
214. If we play our hand right,
Copy !req
215. there'll be fun to wring from this war yet!
Copy !req
216. How many men are there, Ear?
Copy !req
217. Hard to say.
Copy !req
218. Maybe fifty? A hundred?
Copy !req
219. They're flanking us along the woods to the east.
Copy !req
220. They shouldn't have sniffed us out so fast.
Copy !req
221. Did we tip our hand somehow?
Copy !req
222. Not sure.
Copy !req
223. But they know we're here, and we can't change that.
Copy !req
224. We're leaving?
Copy !req
225. Tonight? We can't finish in time.
Copy !req
226. We've only finished two sleds!
Copy !req
227. And I just started on the third one yesterday!
Copy !req
228. And your work is fine.
Copy !req
229. Just get the job done by tonight.
Copy !req
230. We'll abandon the ones we can't finish.
Copy !req
231. I said that's impossible!
Copy !req
232. We only have two carpenters!
Copy !req
233. The English forces have sniffed us out.
Copy !req
234. What? They're onto us?
Copy !req
235. Yep.
Copy !req
236. They've combed through the snow.
Copy !req
237. Must have quite a bone to pick with us Danes.
Copy !req
238. How in the...
Copy !req
239. We must hurry, or we'll miss our chance to escape.
Copy !req
240. Is that clear? Now get cracking.
Copy !req
241. On the double.
Copy !req
242. Get the boys ready for battle, Bjorn.
Copy !req
243. Capture their commander.
Copy !req
244. I want to know how they knew.
Copy !req
245. Understood.
Copy !req
246. Oh, and Bjorn?
Copy !req
247. One more thing.
Copy !req
248. This is the perfect chance.
Copy !req
249. Let's put our plan into motion.
Copy !req
250. They're onto us?
Copy !req
251. Think this means trouble?
Copy !req
252. We'll be fine!
Copy !req
253. You've seen how weak the English are.
Copy !req
254. That ain't what I mean.
Copy !req
255. I'm talking about Askeladd's luck.
Copy !req
256. His luck?
Copy !req
257. First the heavy snowfall, and now this.
Copy !req
258. I've never seen his plans betray him in succession like this.
Copy !req
259. Oh! What a fine-looking coney!
Copy !req
260. You caught it, Thorfinn?
Copy !req
261. What?
Copy !req
262. Are you going to eat it alone?
Copy !req
263. Are you going to roast it?
Copy !req
264. And what if I do?
Copy !req
265. A meal of meat alone isn't healthy!
Copy !req
266. Stew it with greens!
Copy !req
267. I'll cook us up some soup with that rabbit.
Copy !req
268. Buzz off.
Copy !req
269. I'll eat it exactly as I like it.
Copy !req
270. You're going to borrow someone's stove anyway, right?
Copy !req
271. Come over here!
Copy !req
272. Your Highness! I've brought broad beans, cabbage, and a hare!
Copy !req
273. A hare?
Copy !req
274. Yes. Thorfinn caught it.
Copy !req
275. I thought it would be good to add to the soup.
Copy !req
276. Well done.
Copy !req
277. Drain the blood and remove its organs.
Copy !req
278. Not bad considering what we had.
Copy !req
279. The rabbit made it work.
Copy !req
280. I've grown tired of eating salt-cured meat.
Copy !req
281. You have my thanks.
Copy !req
282. What's wrong? Don't hold back.
Copy !req
283. You caught the rabbit.
Copy !req
284. Good, isn't it?
Copy !req
285. Catch us a deer next time!
Copy !req
286. I thought you noble types had everything cooked for you.
Copy !req
287. It's my hobby.
Copy !req
288. I don't normally get the chance.
Copy !req
289. No one knows about it except Ragnar.
Copy !req
290. Do not tell anyone of this either, okay?
Copy !req
291. Why? Who cares?
Copy !req
292. A long time ago,
Copy !req
293. I made a dish of cod.
Copy !req
294. It turned out well,
Copy !req
295. so I brought it to my father.
Copy !req
296. But His Majesty did not eat it.
Copy !req
297. He flew into a rage and told me,
Copy !req
298. "No son of a king pretends to do a slave's work."
Copy !req
299. Since then, I have officially stopped cooking.
Copy !req
300. A prince has no need for that skill.
Copy !req
301. At that time,
Copy !req
302. His Majesty must have been very busy.
Copy !req
303. When the war is over,
we shall present him with a good fowl.
Copy !req
304. I'm certain he would love it.
Copy !req
305. What bird?
Copy !req
306. I've never cooked poultry before.
Copy !req
307. Chicken or duck should do.
Copy !req
308. Do you remember the duck you ate at the winter solstice festival?
Copy !req
309. Yes, that was delicious.
Copy !req
310. I had to ask the cook for his secret.
Copy !req
311. It seems the trick lies in the broth.
Copy !req
312. The broth? I see.
Copy !req
313. Ragnar!
Copy !req
314. You idiot! I'm just bringing a message!
Copy !req
315. What is it?
Copy !req
316. What's happening?
Copy !req
317. The enemy has found us.
Copy !req
318. A battle has begun in the forest to the east.
Copy !req
319. What?
Copy !req
320. There aren't many of them,
Copy !req
321. but please be careful regardless.
Copy !req
322. How can this be?
Copy !req
323. We've only been hiding here for ten days!
Copy !req
324. How did they know?
Copy !req
325. How am I supposed to know?
Copy !req
326. Oh merciful God...
Copy !req
327. Why did we kill all of those poor souls?
Copy !req
328. Anyway,
Copy !req
329. we're moving on once we've crushed the English. Get ready.
Copy !req
330. I've been saying that we should turn back to Wales from the very start!
Copy !req
331. No. We're heading for Derby.
Copy !req
332. After all this, he still wants to go deeper into enemy territory?
Copy !req
333. Bring me Askeladd at once!
Copy !req
334. He's leading at the front line right now.
Copy !req
335. But if your business is that urgent,
I'm sure you can seek him out yourself.
Copy !req
336. I'll show you the way.
Copy !req
337. Unbelievable! You men are just like your leader!
Copy !req
338. Not the slightest shred of courtesy!
Copy !req
339. What proper Norse warrior can't see that his luck's run out?
Copy !req
340. I swear on my sword,
Copy !req
341. my blade will teach him a dear lesson about his ignorance today!
Copy !req
342. Hey!
Copy !req
343. Hey!
Copy !req
344. The sound of the battle is coming from that way!
Copy !req
345. You finally noticed?
Copy !req
346. By the gods, you're dense.
Copy !req
347. What?
Copy !req
348. What are you up to—
Copy !req
349. You traitors...
Copy !req
350. Sorry, Conehead.
Copy !req
351. Askeladd's orders.
Copy !req
352. Wanna go on?
Copy !req
353. We don't mind finishing the fight.
Copy !req
354. It'll speed things up. There's no saving you.
Copy !req
355. Bring Askeladd here!
Copy !req
356. I must speak with him.
Copy !req
357. If you have a message, I'll deliver it to him.
Copy !req
358. Just tell me.
Copy !req
359. Bring him here!
Copy !req
360. It's related to His Highness the Prince!
Copy !req
361. I must tell him directly!
Copy !req
362. Now!
Copy !req
363. I will hear your final words.
Copy !req
364. Shall we speak in private?
Copy !req
365. The cries stopped.
Copy !req
366. The battle's over.
Copy !req
367. This is just great...
Copy !req
368. The soup's gone cold.
Copy !req
369. I'm grateful to you, you know.
Copy !req
370. It couldn't have been easy to keep that weakling of a prince alive for this long.
Copy !req
371. And your death will likely spur further growth within him.
Copy !req
372. I will be taking over your duty to him
Copy !req
373. after your tragic death
Copy !req
374. at the hands of the English today.
Copy !req
375. Swear to your gods!
Copy !req
376. Swear that you will carry on my duty to the best of your ability
Copy !req
377. and that...
Copy !req
378. you will protect Prince Canute above all else!
Copy !req
379. I will do everything within my power to protect Prince Canute
Copy !req
380. and ensure that the death of Ragnar the warrior was not in vain.
Copy !req
381. Will that do?
Copy !req
382. It sickens me to leave
His Highness with a man like you!
Copy !req
383. Better finish your message quickly.
Copy !req
384. You've lost a lot of blood.
Copy !req
385. Before you reach...
Copy !req
386. Gainsborough,
Copy !req
387. you ought to know of the succession...
Copy !req
388. The courtiers at Jelling are forming two competing factions
Copy !req
389. to determine who shall be the future king of Denmark.
Copy !req
390. One side seeks to place
Prince Canute upon the throne.
Copy !req
391. The other aligns itself with his brother, Prince Harald.
Copy !req
392. The princes' wishes do not matter to them...
Copy !req
393. They're scheming nobles embroiled in petty squabbles.
Copy !req
394. Perhaps His Majesty feared that the Kingdom of Denmark might split.
Copy !req
395. It's likely he forced himself to make a decision.
Copy !req
396. A decision to kill one of his two sons.
Copy !req
397. King Sweyn decided to kill the prince?
Copy !req
398. His Majesty sent Prince Canute into this war
Copy !req
399. to have him die on the battlefield.
Copy !req
400. Know this...
Copy !req
401. Prince Canute's real enemy
Copy !req
402. at this moment
Copy !req
403. is none other than his own father, King Sweyn!
Copy !req
404. Flee into exile.
Copy !req
