Why?

365
00:35:31,869 --> 00:35:34,122
They believe it would
be better for both sides.

366
00:35:34,152 --> 00:35:36,681
Why would that be better for us?

367
00:35:37,011 --> 00:35:40,046
They don't believe you are capable
of breaching the city walls.

368
00:35:40,081 --> 00:35:41,918
I say we are!

369
00:35:41,948 --> 00:35:44,981
What will they give us
if we lift the siege?

370
00:35:45,887 --> 00:35:47,353
That would be decided

371
00:35:47,388 --> 00:35:51,737
at a meeting between you and the
commander of the city, Count Odo.

372
00:35:52,224 --> 00:35:54,677
BJORN: And where would
we have this meeting?

373
00:35:54,994 --> 00:35:58,558
Because I know that if
my father enters the city,

374
00:35:58,588 --> 00:36:00,649
he will be captured or killed.

375
00:36:02,355 --> 00:36:05,931
The Count suggested the meeting
take place outside the city walls,

376
00:36:05,961 --> 00:36:07,552
with no weapons.

377
00:36:08,642 --> 00:36:11,412
Tell them they'll have
their answer tomorrow.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

379
00:36:39,372 --> 00:36:41,222
Why should we make any
kind of deal with them?

380
00:36:41,257 --> 00:36:42,840
BJORN: We've lost nearly a thousand men,

381
00:36:42,876 --> 00:36:44,642
we can't breach the city,
and winter is coming.

382
00:36:44,678 --> 00:36:46,828
Do you need more reasons?

383
00:36:46,858 --> 00:36:50,103
Why do they offer terms, if they are
so sure we can't get into the city?

384
00:36:50,133 --> 00:36:51,602
They have probably run out of food.

385
00:36:51,632 --> 00:36:53,389
Then we should let them starve.

386
00:36:53,419 --> 00:36:55,136
Ah, then they will hate us even more.

I have something to say.

389
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,885
I did not become earl
because I aspired to be one.

390
00:37:08,611 --> 00:37:12,971
It came about because of
other peoples' actions.

391
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:16,545
And I did not become king out of ambition.

392
00:37:16,575 --> 00:37:20,637
But once again I had no choice,

393
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:24,448
as a result of other people's actions.

394
00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:28,722
But nonetheless, I am king.

395
00:37:30,155 --> 00:37:31,287
King Ragnar! Hmm.

396
00:37:31,923 --> 00:37:35,626
That is my name. King Ragnar!

397
00:37:37,782 --> 00:37:40,335
What does a king do, Bjorn?

398
00:37:41,804 --> 00:37:43,572
- He rules.
- RAGNAR: Yes!

399
00:37:43,869 --> 00:37:46,088
Good. He rules.

400
00:37:47,101 --> 00:37:48,928
And as a ruler, I...

401
00:37:52,434 --> 00:37:54,708
(SOFTLY) ... have the last say.

402
00:37:54,738 --> 00:37:56,319

Not you! And not you!

406
