Vikings

Previously on Vikings...

We have built a new boat.

For the first time, we can go west.

Countless riches await us.

Our enemies are everywhere.

They cannot prevail.

The Earl knows nothing about our new boat.

He could kill us for disobeying his orders.

Have you got the balls to join us?

They have set sail.

They'll never be heard from again.

What if Ragnar is right?

There are no lands to the west!

They've come. They are here.

Who is here?

Hell and all its devils!

How do you speak our language?

Why have you not killed this one?

He is worth more alive.

Take what you will.

This is what we came for.

Hello!

You are Ragnar Lothbrok's son, Bjorn.

I remember you from the thing.

Yes.

Where is your father?

Bjorn? Who are you talking to?

I was just asking your son

where Ragnar Lothbrok might be.

He's gone fishing.

Oh! Fishing?

He's gone fishing?

Yes.

Fishing.

When will he return?

I don't know.

In which case, I must take someone back as surety.

Just in case.

In case...

In case your husband has not gone fishing.

You! Come!

Come!

You have to come with me.

If you don't obey this order, the Earl will never give you an arm ring!

I'll come.

Good.

Then let's be on our way.

What are you doing?

Where are you taking my son?

He'll be quite safe, woman.

I bid you all a good day.

We did it, brother.

Yes, brother, we did.

Let's just hope the Earl sees it that way.

Yeah.

What is your name?

Athelstan.

I am Ragnar Lothbrok.

What was that place called?

Lindisfarne.

England?

Yes.

It was foretold that divine punishment

would fall upon God's chosen people

for all our grievous sins,

and so it has happened.

And that is why I am here.

No.

You are here because I spared your life.

Why did you spare my life?

I don't know yet.

Ragnar Lothbrok!

What is it?

Brother Cenwulf here, beside me, I think he's dead.

You're right.

Leif.

May God rest your soul, Brother Cenwulf.

In nomine Patris, Filli,

et Spiritus Sancti.

Yeah!

- We'll drink well tonight, my friend. - Ah.

Eric!

Thank the gods!

And not alone! Look!

We've brought slaves to sell.

But there's more, woman.

More things of gold and silver than you and I have ever seen before,

nor anyone else here in Kattegat.

Ragnar Lothbrok, welcome back.

We know you sailed west across the open ocean

and found land and plunder, as you promised.

So, let no man say anymore that it is not possible,

and we salute and praise you.

Knut.

You're too late. You missed the boat.

I came to tell you that Earl Haraldson summons you

to attend him in the great hall.

It will be a pleasure.

Well done, Ragnar!

Are you coming, Knut?

My Lord,

it was easy to take all of these things.

The priests in the temple, they had no weapons.

They were like babies.

Here is one of their priests.

We captured several of them to sell for slaves.

It must be true

that there are many more such holy places in England

and other lands to the west

likewise filled with such treasure,

and to sail there will benefit us all.

How did you find this place of great riches

when all before you had failed?

My Lord,

we were more fortunate than others.

We had Thor on our side.

- Thor. - Thor.

Yes.

Then you were indeed fortunate.

But you understand that all this belongs to me,

by right.

My Lord, me and Floki paid for the boat.

Surely we are entitled to some reward, and my crew...

You want me to pay you

when you took these things as easily as from babies?

Here's what I've decided to do.

Each one of you can take one thing from this haul.

- One? - Yes.

And you'll still be richer than you were before.

Now, all the world can see

how magnanimous and generous is your lord,

especially since you disobeyed me.

So, Ragnar Lothbrok,

what will you choose?

I will take the priest

for my slave.

The priest?

Granted.

Why did you do that?

Why did you give everything away so easily?

We wasted our time.

I never should have believed in you.

He was looking for an excuse to kill us.

Why would we go to Valhalla after such miserable and pointless deaths?

Brother, believe me,

this is not the end,

it's just the beginning.

Well,

at least we didn't give everything away so easily.

That's your one thing?

How should he ever find out?

You idiot!

Would Odin expect us to do anything so stupid?

You have your Odin and I have mine.

Why don't you go get drunk, spend all this on whores?

Make sure the Earl really finds out that you stole from him.

What a hoard is this!

What a hoard it is.

See what you've done, My Lord?

Never doubt your power.

With just a few words, you stripped

Ragnar Lothbrok of all his treasure.

He's nothing to you,

and you are all power,

all authority.

You can have whatever you want.

I told them you'd come home.

Father! You're home!

Little man...
