Why?

365
00:34:40,919 --> 00:34:43,172
They believe it would
be better for both sides.

366
00:34:43,202 --> 00:34:45,731
Why would that be better for us?

367
00:34:45,861 --> 00:34:48,896
They don't believe you are capable
of breaching the city walls.

368
00:34:48,931 --> 00:34:50,768
I say we are!

369
00:34:50,798 --> 00:34:53,831
What will they give us
if we lift the siege?

370
00:34:54,537 --> 00:34:56,003
That would be decided

371
00:34:56,038 --> 00:35:00,387
at a meeting between you and the
commander of the city, Count Odo.

372
00:35:00,674 --> 00:35:03,127
BJORN: And where would
we have this meeting?

373
00:35:03,244 --> 00:35:06,808
Because I know that if
my father enters the city,

374
00:35:06,838 --> 00:35:08,899
he will be captured or killed.

375
00:35:10,605 --> 00:35:14,181
The Count suggested the meeting
take place outside the city walls,

376
00:35:14,211 --> 00:35:15,802
with no weapons.

377
00:35:16,692 --> 00:35:19,462
Tell them they'll have
their answer tomorrow.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

379
00:35:46,772 --> 00:35:48,622
Why should we make any
kind of deal with them?

380
00:35:48,657 --> 00:35:50,240
BJORN: We've lost nearly a thousand men,

381
00:35:50,276 --> 00:35:52,042
we can't breach the city,
and winter is coming.

382
00:35:52,078 --> 00:35:54,028
Do you need more reasons?

383
00:35:54,058 --> 00:35:57,303
Why do they offer terms, if they are
so sure we can't get into the city?

384
00:35:57,333 --> 00:35:58,802
They have probably run out of food.

385
00:35:58,832 --> 00:36:00,389
Then we should let them starve.

386
00:36:00,419 --> 00:36:02,136
Ah, then they will hate us even more.

I have something to say.

389
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,685
I did not become earl
because I aspired to be one.

390
00:36:15,211 --> 00:36:19,571
It came about because of
other peoples' actions.

391
00:36:20,332 --> 00:36:23,145
And I did not become king out of ambition.

392
00:36:23,175 --> 00:36:27,237
But once again I had no choice,

393
00:36:27,508 --> 00:36:30,848
as a result of other people's actions.

394
00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:35,122
But nonetheless, I am king.

395
00:36:36,355 --> 00:36:37,487
King Ragnar! Hmm.

396
00:36:38,123 --> 00:36:41,826
That is my name. King Ragnar!

397
00:36:43,782 --> 00:36:46,335
What does a king do, Bjorn?

398
00:36:47,604 --> 00:36:49,372
- He rules.
- RAGNAR: Yes!

399
00:36:49,669 --> 00:36:51,888
Good. He rules.

400
00:36:52,901 --> 00:36:54,728
And as a ruler, I...

401
00:36:58,034 --> 00:37:00,308
(SOFTLY) ... have the last say.

402
00:37:00,338 --> 00:37:01,919
Me!

403

Not you! Not you!

404

Not you! And not you!

You have all had your ideas,

406
00:37:13,542 --> 00:37:15,896
