1. OCTOBER 1013 AD
LONDON, ENGLAND
Copy !req
2. That's not really a bridge.
Copy !req
3. It's more like a fortress.
Copy !req
4. I'm impressed, London.
Copy !req
5. The city has survived many attacks
over the years.
Copy !req
6. It has a lot of history.
Copy !req
7. This isn't the time to be complacent, Askeladd.
Copy !req
8. This city's going to be trouble.
Copy !req
9. You said it'd be an easy win.
That's why I'm here.
Copy !req
10. Sorry, sorry.
Copy !req
11. I never imagined
that Thorkell would side with the enemy.
Copy !req
12. You mean, Thorkell the Tall?
Copy !req
13. He's in bed with the enemy for the money.
Copy !req
14. What a traitor.
Copy !req
15. We're in this for the money too.
Copy !req
16. We sided with the Army of Denmark,
because we thought King Sweyn has a chance to win.
Copy !req
17. The other clans are all the same.
Copy !req
18. They're desperate
to prove themselves on the battlefield
Copy !req
19. and increase their share of the spoils.
Copy !req
20. Well, with so many men here,
no one's getting very much.
Copy !req
21. I don't fight for money.
Copy !req
22. I like to kill.
Copy !req
23. I can truly rely on a man like you, Bjorn.
Copy !req
24. In any case, those bigwigs all want London.
Copy !req
25. If we can capture the Thames River,
Copy !req
26. we can set up a supply line
to the inland areas in Wessex.
Copy !req
27. The top leaders all have their eyes
on this battleground.
Copy !req
28. Yeah. This is the place to be if you want to stand out.
Copy !req
29. What do you mean?
Copy !req
30. Do you have a plan in mind?
Copy !req
31. Well,
Copy !req
32. it's not really a plan.
Copy !req
33. Thorfinn.
Copy !req
34. We have some work for you.
Copy !req
35. Go bring me Thorkell's head.
Copy !req
36. Promise me you'll give me my reward.
Copy !req
37. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
38. The same as always, right?
You're so stubborn.
Copy !req
39. Getting so worked up about a fight you can't win.
Copy !req
40. Maybe you get it from your father.
Copy !req
41. Don't forget, Askeladd.
Copy !req
42. My only wish as a warrior
Copy !req
43. is to beat you in a duel.
Copy !req
44. Our next duel will be your last.
Copy !req
45. I'm going to carve out your heart,
Copy !req
46. and offer it to my father's spirit.
Copy !req
47. Then get to work.
Copy !req
48. Only those who fight
on the battlefield get what they desire.
Copy !req
49. That's the way of the warrior.
Copy !req
50. My head's not cheap, you know.
Copy !req
51. I'll duel you as often as you like.
Copy !req
52. Go bring me Thorkell's head.
Copy !req
53. Hey.
Copy !req
54. Askeladd.
Copy !req
55. What?
Copy !req
56. One ship is heading towards the bridge.
Copy !req
57. It's the Jomsvikings! The Sea Deer!
Copy !req
58. They're messengers from the regular army.
Copy !req
59. Are they Floki's men?
Copy !req
60. I bet he's going to try to win Thorkell over to his side
Copy !req
61. by saying he'll pay double whatever England pays.
Copy !req
62. Thorkell will follow the money.
Copy !req
63. I bet he'll take their offer.
Copy !req
64. Well, I'm not so sure about that.
Copy !req
65. They're here.
Copy !req
66. It's just one ship.
Copy !req
67. This way. Hurry.
Copy !req
68. Die. Take that.
Copy !req
69. Take that.
Copy !req
70. Fire. Fire.
Copy !req
71. Don't shoot. We're messengers.
Copy !req
72. We want to talk to Thorkell.
Copy !req
73. - You damn bastards.
- Die.
Copy !req
74. We didn't come here to fight.
Copy !req
75. Where is Thorkell?
Copy !req
76. Shut up. Die.
Copy !req
77. Hey.
Copy !req
78. Stop.
Copy !req
79. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
80. Everyone. Cease fire.
Copy !req
81. Hey, Floki. It's been a while.
Copy !req
82. You look like you've been doing well.
Copy !req
83. Enough with the pleasantries.
Copy !req
84. His Highness, King Sweyn, sends a message,
which I am here to deliver.
Copy !req
85. In the words of His Highness:
Copy !req
86. "The King of England has escaped
to the land of the Franks.
Copy !req
87. Resistance is futile.
Copy !req
88. Surrender.
Copy !req
89. If you surrender, then in the name of Thor,
Copy !req
90. I shall spare the lives of you and your men,
Copy !req
91. as well as leave you your fortunes."
Copy !req
92. Go back to the army, Thorkell.
Copy !req
93. Those are the wishes of His Highness.
Copy !req
94. Is King Sweyn here?
Copy !req
95. He's tough.
Copy !req
96. For such an old man.
Copy !req
97. Thorkell.
Copy !req
98. Why are you drawing your bow against a friend?
Copy !req
99. For so long, we've fought as warriors, side by side.
Copy !req
100. You must not misread the flow of the world.
Copy !req
101. Your brother Sigvaldi is also worried.
Copy !req
102. Flow of the world?
Copy !req
103. I see.
Copy !req
104. I was fighting against the English myself until last year.
That's why I know.
Copy !req
105. They're really weak.
Copy !req
106. - They're a bunch of sheltered city boys.
- What?
Copy !req
107. - Is that Norse?
- They lack spirit.
Copy !req
108. Maybe.
Copy !req
109. Prince Edmund was the only general
Copy !req
110. who could handle the army of Denmark.
Copy !req
111. This country is finished.
Copy !req
112. Oh, in that case...
Copy !req
113. In other words,
Copy !req
114. it'd be more fun
Copy !req
115. to fight against you.
Copy !req
116. What?
Copy !req
117. That's enough talk.
Copy !req
118. Let's get to the next part. The next part.
Copy !req
119. Wait. Thorkell.
Copy !req
120. I promise you double what England's giving you.
Copy !req
121. Here I go, Floki.
Copy !req
122. Veer left. Full speed.
Copy !req
123. Time for the deadly...
Copy !req
124. Keel-Buster!
Copy !req
125. Oh, I missed.
Copy !req
126. Full speed.
Copy !req
127. Withdraw.
Copy !req
128. Men. Kill them.
Copy !req
129. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
130. Retreat. Retreat.
Copy !req
131. Hey, Floki.
Copy !req
132. Go ask King Sweyn
Copy !req
133. whether he's bored
of always fighting battles he's going to win.
Copy !req
134. There's no chance that we'll be able to convince him.
Copy !req
135. I see.
Copy !req
136. It was a waste of time.
Copy !req
137. So, what shall we do?
Copy !req
138. Attack them now, without delay.
Copy !req
139. Hey. Damn.
Copy !req
140. All right.
Copy !req
141. Damn. They're attacking the pier.
Copy !req
142. You bastard.
Copy !req
143. Hurry.
Copy !req
144. Damn.
Copy !req
145. - Damn. I missed.
- Get more rocks.
Copy !req
146. Out of my way.
Copy !req
147. Wow.
Copy !req
148. Here we go.
Copy !req
149. How'd you like that?
That was my special...
Copy !req
150. er... Log-Dropper!
Copy !req
151. The name says it all.
Copy !req
152. That was amazing.
Copy !req
153. Next.
Copy !req
154. Hurry up.
Copy !req
155. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
156. What's wrong with Sweyn's army?
Copy !req
157. Why don't you come up with something?
Copy !req
158. I know you can do better if you try.
Copy !req
159. At this rate, you won't capture London Bridge.
Not even in a hundred years...
Copy !req
160. This is it. This guy looks fun.
Copy !req
161. Thorfinn. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
162. The huge man in front with the log.
Copy !req
163. That's Thorkell.
Copy !req
164. This is no good. Stop the ship.
Copy !req
165. He'll hit us if we get any closer.
Copy !req
166. Steer left.
Copy !req
167. Just a little further.
Copy !req
168. All right. That's enough.
Copy !req
169. Jump.
Copy !req
170. Don't touch him.
Copy !req
171. This jolly little fool...
Copy !req
172. is all mine.
Copy !req
173. Yeah.
Copy !req
174. Bastard.
Copy !req
175. Come on.
Copy !req
176. You're good...
Copy !req
177. For a kid.
Copy !req
178. Don't touch him.
Copy !req
179. I'll answer the challenge of this suicide attacker.
Copy !req
180. It's one-on-one.
Copy !req
181. All right. Bring it on, kid.
Copy !req
182. One-on-one, and unarmed?
Copy !req
183. Don't underestimate me.
Copy !req
184. Oh, he was aiming for my wrist.
Copy !req
185. Good job, kid.
Copy !req
186. I can see why he's so confident.
Copy !req
187. With a body and fists as big as his,
Copy !req
188. I'd be dead with one hit.
Copy !req
189. I like you.
Copy !req
190. I'm going to have some fun.
Copy !req
191. What?
Copy !req
192. Take that.
Copy !req
193. Oops.
Copy !req
194. Damn.
Copy !req
195. That was close.
Copy !req
196. I can't reach him.
Copy !req
197. All his weak points are up high.
Copy !req
198. Below his armpit.
Copy !req
199. His neck.
Copy !req
200. All right.
Copy !req
201. He's low.
Copy !req
202. So...
Copy !req
203. I'll kick him.
Copy !req
204. Run in there.
Copy !req
205. That hurts.
Copy !req
206. But I got you.
Copy !req
207. You did it.
Copy !req
208. Great, captain.
Copy !req
209. Kill him.
Copy !req
210. It's not over yet.
Copy !req
211. Here we go.
Copy !req
212. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
213. This won't work.
Copy !req
214. Thorfinn's getting beaten to a pulp.
Copy !req
215. I guess it wasn't going to work.
Copy !req
216. Yeah.
Copy !req
217. Askeladd.
Copy !req
218. That's the signal.
Copy !req
219. Yeah. Then it's time to retreat.
Copy !req
220. Retreat.
Copy !req
221. Withdraw all units.
Copy !req
222. What? No.
Copy !req
223. The battle ended while I was playing with the kid.
Copy !req
224. Hey, kid.
Copy !req
225. It looks like they abandoned you.
Copy !req
226. Poor kid.
Copy !req
227. Even though you tried hard.
Copy !req
228. What? Is he dead?
Copy !req
229. Hey.
Copy !req
230. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
231. You still haven't lost the will to fight?
Copy !req
232. You're good, even though you're small.
Copy !req
233. Warrior.
Copy !req
234. Tell me your name.
Copy !req
235. Thorfinn.
Copy !req
236. Son of Thors.
Copy !req
237. I'm Thorfinn.
Copy !req
238. Thors?
Copy !req
239. Hey. Thors? Do you mean...?
Copy !req
240. Oh, there he goes.
Copy !req
241. Captain, your orders?
Copy !req
242. Shall we shoot him?
Copy !req
243. Don't shoot.
Copy !req
244. We'll let him go today.
Copy !req
245. Hey.
Copy !req
246. Warrior Thorfinn.
Copy !req
247. That was fun.
Copy !req
248. Let's do this again.
Copy !req
249. Let's finish things off next time.
Copy !req
250. Promise me.
Copy !req
251. That hurts.
Copy !req
252. Kill me, please.
Copy !req
253. Does anyone want to be killed?
Copy !req
254. I can kill you.
Copy !req
255. He's not going to make it.
Copy !req
256. He's been stabbed in the gut.
Copy !req
257. We can't save him.
Copy !req
258. Hey. Bring some onion soup over here.
Copy !req
259. Torgrim.
Copy !req
260. Take care of this.
Copy !req
261. I see.
Copy !req
262. So, we can't capture London.
Copy !req
263. No.
Copy !req
264. It's not that we can't capture London.
Copy !req
265. It will just take some time.
Copy !req
266. Time? How much time, Floki?
Copy !req
267. Yes. It depends on the size of their stockpile.
Copy !req
268. One year.
Copy !req
269. No. A half-year, if things go well.
Copy !req
270. It's already autumn.
Copy !req
271. We cannot spend so much time on just one city.
Copy !req
272. The overall situation is most important.
Copy !req
273. In everything we do,
Copy !req
274. we must prioritize gaining control over all of England.
Copy !req
275. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
276. We shall move our main forces to the west.
Copy !req
277. Leave 4000 soldiers
Copy !req
278. to continue the siege on London.
Copy !req
279. As you wish.
Copy !req
280. The 4000 soldiers will be under the command of...
Copy !req
281. Canute.
Copy !req
282. This is a good chance to boost his standing.
Copy !req
283. What?
Copy !req
284. That's not what we agreed upon.
Copy !req
285. The reason His Highness came
to serve as a good example for the people.
Copy !req
286. That's what you said.
Copy !req
287. Ragnar. Please, refrain.
Copy !req
288. This is His Highness's will.
Copy !req
289. Against Thorkell,
even the entire army stands no chance.
Copy !req
290. To defeat him with only one-fifth of the forces...
Copy !req
291. It's impossible.
Copy !req
292. Having so few men is the only way to help him.
Copy !req
293. But...
Copy !req
294. His Highness is unfamiliar with battle,
and is experiencing emotional distress.
Copy !req
295. This is your responsibility, Ragnar.
Copy !req
296. Maybe it's because of the teachings of Christ.
Copy !req
297. He grew up to be faint of heart,
even though he's a man.
Copy !req
298. It's because you spoiled him.
Copy !req
299. I apologize.
Copy !req
300. To Canute,
I shall leave the soldiers laying siege to London.
Copy !req
301. You shall accompany him,
and provide support, as his assistant.
Copy !req
302. Your Highness...
Copy !req
303. My shoulder is dislocated.
Copy !req
304. And my right ankle is sprained.
Copy !req
305. And I have a few broken ribs.
Copy !req
306. Damn it.
Copy !req
307. That madman.
Copy !req
308. Hey. Can you see them?
Copy !req
309. Most of them have retreated.
Copy !req
310. What?
Copy !req
311. Does that mean...?
Copy !req
312. Did we...
Copy !req
313. win?
Copy !req
314. We won?
Copy !req
315. - They ran away with their tails between their legs?
- Then we have won.
Copy !req
316. What?
Copy !req
317. What's going on?
Copy !req
318. We did it. We won.
Copy !req
319. What?
Copy !req
320. We won.
Copy !req
321. Hey, hey.
Copy !req
322. Hey.
Copy !req
323. Let's fight some more.
Copy !req
324. Hey. Hold on.
Copy !req
325. Hey.
Copy !req
326. You idiots.
Copy !req
327. Are you giving up on London?
Copy !req
328. Come back, you cowards.
Copy !req
329. Fight me.
Copy !req
330. Oh, what a pain.
Copy !req
331. Thorkell, you bastard.
Copy !req
332. Hey. What happened? You're alive?
Copy !req
333. You look terrible.
Copy !req
334. You had a bad opponent, Thorfinn.
Copy !req
335. By the way, I'm going to march on Wessex.
What about you?
Copy !req
336. If it hurts to walk, I'll just leave you here.
Copy !req
337. We're going to get rich in Wessex.
Copy !req
338. I can't wait.
Copy !req
339. - You only got one arm.
- I can handle anyone.
Copy !req
340. I'll kill them all.
Copy !req
341. That was fun.
Copy !req
342. Let's do this again.
Copy !req
343. That madman.
Copy !req
344. What's so enjoyable about battle?
Copy !req
