36
00:02:03,405 --> 00:02:08,139
we travel to the temple
at Uppsala,

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,406

38

and walk among our gods?

361
00:27:36,304 --> 00:27:38,103
I share your appetite
for new adventure,

362
00:27:38,204 --> 00:27:39,905
<i>Ragnar Lothbrok,</i>

363
00:27:40,006 --> 00:27:42,105
and I will gladly join forces
with you,

364
00:27:42,206 --> 00:27:45,307
since, as king,
I am naturally not in favor

365
00:27:45,408 --> 00:27:47,374
of individual enterprise

366
00:27:47,475 --> 00:27:49,809
by my earls, or anyone else.

367
00:27:51,943 --> 00:27:54,210
But, believe me,
I will be happy enough

368
00:27:54,311 --> 00:27:55,911
just to have my name
linked with yours

369
00:27:56,012 --> 00:27:59,846
when the poets tell the story
of how we norsemen sailed west

370
00:27:59,947 --> 00:28:01,847
and discovered new worlds.

371
00:28:02,848 --> 00:28:04,681
(Clapping backs)

372
00:28:06,083 --> 00:28:09,383
Please, come. Eat, eat.

bother to come back?

375

Rollo: I was hungry.

376
00:28:22,323 --> 00:28:23,656
Hmm.

377
00:28:27,424 --> 00:28:31,260
How many women
have you been with?

378
00:28:32,227 --> 00:28:33,528
I don't suppose you know.

379
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:36,261
I do what I want here.

380
00:28:36,362 --> 00:28:38,929
I thought we came here
together.

381
00:28:39,030 --> 00:28:41,297
We came here with Earl Ragnar.

382
00:28:41,398 --> 00:28:43,265
I thought we came here
together and...

383
00:28:43,366 --> 00:28:46,666
we did come here together.

384
00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:48,766
We are together.

385
00:28:50,334 --> 00:28:53,736

not for you,
not for my brother,

389
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:06,340
not for anyone.

390
00:29:08,709 --> 00:29:11,709
So leave if you want to.

391
00:29:15,046 --> 00:29:20,013
But one day
I will be a great man

392
00:29:20,114 --> 00:29:21,480
and you'll regret leaving me

393
00:29:21,581 --> 00:29:24,948
just because I sleep
with other women.

394
00:29:40,690 --> 00:29:44,824
If you really want to be
a great man,

395
00:29:44,925 --> 00:29:48,659
should you not be meeting
with king Horik now?

396
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,827
What do you mean?

397
00:29:49,927 --> 00:29:54,094
Siggy: Well, that's where
your brother is now,

398
00:29:55,862 --> 00:29:56,894
and no doubt
he's already boasting

399
00:29:56,995 --> 00:29:59,096
about how he sailed west,
alone,

400
00:29:59,198 --> 00:30:03,264
and all he has achieved...
Alone.

401
00:30:04,366 --> 00:30:06,732
If you weren't so stubborn
and so drunk,

402
00:30:06,834 --> 00:30:09,767
you would be there too,
but you weren't invited.

403
00:30:09,868 --> 00:30:12,969
You didn't even know about it.

404
00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:16,970
I could have told you.

405
00:30:18,772 --> 00:30:20,705
You see, rollo,

406
00:30:20,806 --> 00:30:23,207
you need me
as much as I need you.

407

King Horik: Ragnar Lothbrok,

411
00:30:46,645 --> 00:30:48,745
I drink to your good fortune.

412
00:30:48,846 --> 00:30:50,645
May the gods continue
to favor you

413
00:30:50,746 --> 00:30:53,247
and increase your fame.

414
00:30:53,348 --> 00:30:57,349
May they do the same to you,
king Horik.

415
00:30:57,416 --> 00:30:59,349
You have done me the honor
of pledging your fealty,

416
00:30:59,416 --> 00:31:00,583
as Earl, to me.

417
00:31:00,684 --> 00:31:03,417
Forgive me, then,
if I seem anxious

418
00:31:03,485 --> 00:31:07,519
to make use of your skills
and reputation...

419
00:31:07,587 --> 00:31:10,121
As soon as possible.

420
00:31:11,955 --> 00:31:14,522
To do what?

421
00:31:14,590 --> 00:31:17,790
There is a Jarl in Gotaland,
Jarl Borg.

422
00:31:17,858 --> 00:31:19,025
He is an important fellow,

423
00:31:19,126 --> 00:31:21,625
but he continues to claim
he has legal rights

424
00:31:21,726 --> 00:31:23,993
over some of my land.

425
00:31:24,094 --> 00:31:25,426
He threatens me.

426
00:31:25,494 --> 00:31:28,328
He nearly invaded my territory
a year ago,

427
00:31:28,396 --> 00:31:30,795
but at the last moment
he drew back.

428
00:31:30,863 --> 00:31:34,464
And now, once again,

429
00:31:34,565 --> 00:31:38,365
he is making
threatening noises.

430
00:31:41,369 --> 00:31:46,369
And how can I be of help
in such a matter?

431
00:31:48,104 --> 00:31:53,572
Would you be prepared to travel
to Gotaland as my emissary?

432
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,740
I can think of no one

433
00:31:54,841 --> 00:31:56,473
who I would rather
represent my case,

434
00:31:56,574 --> 00:32:00,375
for your fame is widespread.

435
00:32:00,476 --> 00:32:02,576
If the issue is settled,

436
00:32:02,644 --> 00:32:05,810
