we travel to the temple

them sacrifices for all they do for us.

361
00:27:20,577 --> 00:27:23,357

as a missionary.

362
00:27:23,662 --> 00:27:26,097
I have heard of Christians,

363
00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:28,031
<i>and of their God.</i>

364
00:27:28,961 --> 00:27:31,696
And are you still a Christian?

365
00:27:33,499 --> 00:27:34,426
No.

366
00:27:34,444 --> 00:27:35,678
King Horik: Of course not!

367
00:27:35,703 --> 00:27:39,172
How could you be a Christian
and walk among our gods?

368
00:27:39,554 --> 00:27:41,487
I share your appetite
for new adventure,

369
00:27:41,505 --> 00:27:43,074
<i>Ragnar Lothbrok,</i>

370
00:27:43,108 --> 00:27:45,449
and I will gladly join forces
with you,

371
00:27:45,584 --> 00:27:50,665
since, as king, I am naturally not
in favor of individual enterprise

372
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,374
by my earls, or anyone else.

373
00:27:55,116 --> 00:27:59,202
But, believe me, I will be happy enough
just to have my name linked with yours

374
00:27:59,298 --> 00:28:03,134
when the poets tell the story
of how we norsemen sailed west

375
00:28:03,242 --> 00:28:05,303
and discovered new worlds.

376
00:28:06,014 --> 00:28:07,848

bother to come back?

380

381

Hmm.

382

How many women
have you been with?

383
00:28:35,690 --> 00:28:38,435
- I don't suppose you know.
- I do what I want here.

384
00:28:39,741 --> 00:28:42,138

together.

385
00:28:42,398 --> 00:28:44,666
We came here with Earl Ragnar.

386
00:28:44,885 --> 00:28:46,753

together and...

387
00:28:46,792 --> 00:28:49,840
We did come here together.

388
00:28:50,089 --> 00:28:52,090
We are together.

389
00:28:53,765 --> 00:28:56,528
Why do you keep pestering me?

390

(Scoffs)

391
00:28:58,726 --> 00:29:01,901
I am who I am

392
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,574
and I won't change,

393
00:29:04,685 --> 00:29:07,418
not for you,
not for my brother,

394
00:29:07,442 --> 00:29:09,585
not for anyone.

395
00:29:11,981 --> 00:29:14,421
So leave if you want to.

396
00:29:18,552 --> 00:29:23,122
But one day
I will be a great man

397
00:29:23,662 --> 00:29:28,124
and you'll regret leaving me just
because I sleep with other women.

398
00:29:44,118 --> 00:29:47,364
If you really want to be
a great man,

399
00:29:48,424 --> 00:29:51,599
should you not be meeting
with King Horik now?

400
00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:53,197
What do you mean?

401
00:29:53,217 --> 00:29:56,753
Siggy: Well, that's where
your brother is now,

402
00:29:59,288 --> 00:30:02,480
and no doubt he's already boasting
about how he sailed west, alone,

403
00:30:02,505 --> 00:30:06,525
and all he has achieved alone.

404
00:30:07,925 --> 00:30:10,293
If you weren't so stubborn
and so drunk,

405
00:30:10,322 --> 00:30:13,257
you would be there too,
but you weren't invited.

406
00:30:13,364 --> 00:30:16,078
You didn't even know about it.

407
00:30:17,512 --> 00:30:19,957

408
00:30:22,235 --> 00:30:24,169

409
00:30:24,251 --> 00:30:26,653

as much as I need you.

414

I drink to your good fortune.

415
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:55,507
May the gods continue
to favor you

416
00:30:55,541 --> 00:30:57,710
and increase your fame.

417
00:30:58,019 --> 00:31:02,022
May they do the same to you,
King Horik.

418
00:31:02,339 --> 00:31:05,414
You have done me the honor of
pledging your fealty, as Earl, to me.

419
00:31:05,452 --> 00:31:08,187
Forgive me, then,
if I seem anxious

420
00:31:08,380 --> 00:31:12,089
to make use of your skills
and reputation...

421

422

To do what?

423
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:22,917
There is a Jarl in Gotaland,
Jarl Borg.

424
00:31:22,962 --> 00:31:26,639
He is an important fellow, but he
continues to claim he has legal rights

425
00:31:26,670 --> 00:31:28,938
over some of my land.

426
00:31:29,127 --> 00:31:30,283
He threatens me.

427
00:31:30,309 --> 00:31:33,311
He nearly invaded my
territory a year ago,

428
00:31:33,341 --> 00:31:35,758
but at the last moment
he drew back.

429
00:31:35,843 --> 00:31:38,611
And now, once again,

430
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:42,483
he is making
threatening noises.

431
00:31:46,205 --> 00:31:51,774
And how can I be of help
in such a matter?

432
00:31:53,076 --> 00:31:58,201
Would you be prepared to travel
to Gotaland as my emissary?

433
00:31:58,802 --> 00:32:01,373
I can think of no one who I
would rather represent my case,

434
00:32:01,401 --> 00:32:05,115

435
00:32:05,448 --> 00:32:07,742
