(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

539
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:07,820
- Brother!
- BJORN: Magnus.

(MAGNUS LAUGHS)

542
00:38:13,830 --> 00:38:16,230
Well, come, come! Come.

543
00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:22,200
HARALD: Bjorn Ironside,

544
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,710
how happy I am to see you.

545
00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:28,410
And Gunnhild.

546
00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:30,440
It seems that fate has,

547
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:32,910
after all, brought us back
together again.

548
00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:36,180
Who knew what the gods had
in store for us?

549
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,480
(CHUCKLES)

550
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:38,820
GUNNHILD: Yes.

551
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,050
Who knew.

552
00:38:40,150 --> 00:38:41,650
I don't care
about any of that.

553
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,020
I only care that I've
found my brother Bjorn.

554
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,490
That I am Viking.

555
00:38:45,590 --> 00:38:47,430
And that we shall
attack Kattegat...

556
00:38:47,530 --> 00:38:48,630
All together!

557
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,370
So tell me, how
is my brother?

558
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,740
There is no change
in his condition.

559
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,610
I don't know
if he even hears us.

560
00:39:08,050 --> 00:39:09,480
I made some potions

561
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:11,650
to try to relieve
his suffering,

562
00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:13,290
as I did before.

563
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,720
You are a wonderful mother.

564
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:19,190
To Alfred, and to me.

565
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,240
At least I know
you care about your brother.

566
00:39:32,340 --> 00:39:34,170
Why wouldn't I?

567
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:36,740
(INHALES AND EXHALES)

568
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,850
It's just so terrible

569
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:44,780
how the nobles begin
to conspire against him...

570
00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:48,090
as soon as he's sick!

571
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,360
They're not real Christians.

572
00:39:52,460 --> 00:39:54,760
They...

573
00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:58,730
They have no charity
in their souls.

574
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:03,300
They simply want to
get rid of him.

575
00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:05,970
It's true.

576
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,940
And yet, you must
understand their fear.

577
00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:12,710
Not only for themselves,

578
00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:14,950
but for Wessex
and (COUGHS) England.

But surely...

586
00:40:47,810 --> 00:40:52,020
Surely they can see that
Alfred is their best chance.

587
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:57,060
If they care about Wessex

588
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,720
and England,

589
00:40:58,830 --> 00:41:01,860
then they must care
about Alfred!

590
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,260
What... What have you done?

591
00:41:11,610 --> 00:41:13,040
I don't believe

592
00:41:13,140 --> 00:41:17,980
that you have ever accepted
your brother as king.

I don't think you ever would.

595

You would always be
a danger to him.

596
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,060
So you've poisoned me?
