Previously on "Vikings"...
I'd like to know what
will happen to me.
I see that an eagle
hovers over you,
but I also see that you
yourself are the eagle.
A good sign from the gods.
Jarl Borg must pay the price
for what he did to my family.
We cannot go west without
his ships. We need him.
- What is your name?
- Porunn.
Do you have a boyfriend?
I hope you were telling
me the truth, Rollo.
Everything I do,
I do for Rollo.
And you need my help.
You're a greater
man than I am.
I realised what could be
gained by inviting you.
The eagle is your
destiny, Jarl Borg.
I will draw a Blood
Eagle upon your back.
No.

Are you going to proceed with
the execution of Jarl Borg?
I am.
I understand your reasons.
At the same time, without Jarl
Borg's ships and warriors,
we cannot hope to mount a
successful raid on Wessex.
We will find another ally.
- When?
- Soon.
I have sent out word.
Are you suggesting that my brother
should reprieve Jarl Borg
- as if nothing has happened?
- No.
I am merely asking you stay your
hand until another ally is found.
The execution of Jarl
Borg made public
would surely discourage and
deter any possible partners.
Fine.
I shall wait.
But at least we are still
allies, King Horik!
I want my revenge on King
Ecbert and I shall have it,
come what may.
Hold! Hold your advance!
Father, do they
know who we are?
Hyah! Hyah! Let's go!
King Ecbert, I've traveled
many miles to meet you.
So that together, you and I, Wessex and
Northumbria, can save our country.
God save England!
God save England!
God save England.
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
God save England!
I have some news for you.
I am carrying our child.
Floki the Carpenter.
Floki the Fisherman.
Floki the Father!
Poor child to have
such a father!
No, you will be a
wonderful father.
No, Helga, I'll be
the worst father!
And my child!
Oh, you gods,
what have I done?
Now you're frightening me.
Please don't frighten me.
- I was so happy.
- Shh. Shh. You're... You're right.
No, I'm f... I'm a fool.
I always was a fool.
We shall be so happy.
You and I, and our
beautiful child.
Let's get married, Helga.
There is no one
else for me now.
Let's get married, and
may the gods bless us,
as they surely will,
for we are such
friends to them.
- Yes.
- Yes.
And all of our friends...
Ragnar and...
No,
not Ragnar.
- But, but he...
- No.
I said, not Ragnar.
Everything here
is for Ragnar.
I've known him a long time. I
helped him rice, I built his ships.
And now he is Earl,
Earl Ragnar,
and our little world waits upon
him and eats from his hand.
But he cannot
have everything.
He cannot have you and me.
What is troubling you?
What is troubling me is
that you do not trust me.
I don't trust you?
That night you
captured Jarl Borg,
you told me nothing of
what you meant to do.
I sent someone
to find you.
They could not find you.
Where were you?
I was with Porunn.
So it was your decision.
You chose to be with her,
rather than me.
I only ask to be kept in
your confidence as your son.
I will be the judge of how far
I take you into my confidence.
But as a father, I will
give you some advice.
Think with this...
Not with your...
What is wrong?
I have never had
such a pregnancy.
So much pain.
I am afraid.
Afraid of what?
When Ragnar came to the
farmhouse, he wanted to have sex.
I told him if he
forced himself on me
in the first three days of his
return, I would bear him a monster.
I do not know what made me say
the things I said to Ragnar.
I spoke them,
but the gods chose them.
As agreed.
What do you want?
Have you come
here to gloat?
Are you looking forward
to my execution?
Have you ever seen anyone
being blood-eagled before?
I'm told it is the worst,
most painful death of all...
but astonishing.
Truly astonishing
to those who watch.
I will take no pleasure
in your death.
Once, you would not
have said that.
Certain things
have changed.
They've changed because Ragnar
Lothbrok has humiliated you.
It's only the start
of his real ambitions.
- Meaning? - Meaning Ragnar
Lothbrok wants to be king.
Isn't that obvious to you,
King Horik?
Why would he stop
at assassinating me?
He's Ragnar Lothbrok.
His fame eclipses
even yours.
Let us say I believe you.
- What would you have me do?
- I would arrange for my escape.
And then I would kill Ragnar
Lothbrok and make his brother Earl.
That's what I would
do if I were you.
I've brought
you something.
I've had dreams of the
Priest Athelstan.
He comes to me, but I do
not know where he is...
in Valhalla or in Hell?
He is in neither place.
Then he is alive?
He is physically alive, but
his spirit is tormented.
He does not know himself.
I see that.
You must tell
me where he is.
He is with a man you know.
A foreigner.
A king.
What are you going
to do about Jarl Borg?
You know exactly what
I'm going to do.
Then why haven't you done it?
What're you waiting for?
I told the king
that I would wait.
I don't understand, brother.
Why do you keep making
concessions to Horik?
Because he is the king.
Why won't you talk to me?
There is not much to say.
We have everything to
say to each other.
You can tell me
about your whole life.
And I can tell
you about mine.
There is not much to
say about my life.
I've always been a servant.
Wait.
I thought you
might be thirsty.
Thank you, Princess Aslaug.
You are kind.
I feel sorry for you.
It is all the same
with we women.
We just give birth
to the slaughtered.
Rollo said that she is just a slave
and I can have her any time.
Your uncle is heavy-handed when he
speaks to others about the heart.
But, the truth is,
he feels the pangs
as deeply as you.
But warriors don't show their
heart, until the axe reveals it!
You are so wise, Floki.
I'm not wise at all.
I'm just a joker.
- Helga.
- Siggy.
You are with child.
- Yes.
- Floki must be happy.
He's not happy?
Why is he not happy?
It's complicated.
Floki is complicated.
Will you marry?
Yes.
Yes, we will.
With Earl Ragnar's
blessing?
My love does not think that he
needs Earl Ragnar's blessing.
Only that of the gods.
I have some
interesting news.
Floki is angry
with Ragnar.
Floki?
Floki loves Ragnar.
Hmm.
Ragnar Lothbrok is no longer
alone in attacking our shores.
Mm.
Yet for me...
he is still the greatest
disturbance to our world.
I agree, and very
likely to return here.
Mm.
We must be
prepared for him.
If you and I and our kingdoms are
allied together, we will be stronger.
If his army lands in Northumbria,
I will come at once to your aid,
and trust that you will
do the same for me.
Leave it.
All of you, leave.
Mhh.
Mercia is a neighbor of
mine, as it is of yours,
so you know very well
what is happening there.
Since the death of King Offa, the
kingdom has fallen into turmoil,
with several members of his family
competing for the throne.
Offa's son and heir has been
murdered by his own sister,
and it seems there is no end to
the violence and the chaos there.
It suits neither of us to have such
an unstable and tumultuous neighbor.
But...
if you and I
joined together,
not only against the Northmen,
but also against Mercia,
we should surely
overcome it.
Mm.
We could then divide Mercia
up between us, as we saw fit.
What do you say?
I say,
after we have
conquered Mercia,
what is to stop you from
turning on your smaller ally?
At the moment, King Aelle,
very little.
That is why I am proposing
the formal marriage
of my oldest son and
heir, Aethelwulf,
to your beautiful
daughter, Judith.
Now then, what do you say?
Now I say...
let us drink to
our alliance...
And may the devil never
cast it asunder, hm?
Hey, papa!
Yay! All right!
Do you, Aethelwulf,
son of Ecbert,
before all these
witnesses here gathered,
take this woman, Judith,
daughter of Aelle,
as your lawful wife,
to have and to hold,
from this moment
until death parts you?
I do.
Helga...
You must hold this sword
in trust for your son,
and now you must present
this new sword to the groom.
The sword transfers the father's
power of protection over the woman,
to her new husband.
Do you, Judith, before
all these witnesses,
take this man, Aethelwulf,
to have and to hold,
and forsaking all others,
to serve and obey,
from this time henceforth,
until you die?
I do.
Now the rings.
Floki, do you
swear to the gods
that you want to
marry this woman?
I swear, with the
gods as my witnesses.
Helga, do you
swear to the gods
that you want to
marry this man?
I do swear.
Let these rings be
a permanent sign
that you are united
in holy matrimony,
in the eyes of these people,
and in the eyes of God.
Amen.
Then you are married.
Rollo Lothbrok?
Yes.
I have come to talk to your brother...
upon important business.
And what business
would that be?
Believe me, your brother
would want to hear me.
Ooh!
You son of a ***.
One more.
Wait. My turn.
All right.
- Torstein?
- Here! I'm here.
Is your shield up?
It is so dark in here!
Ha!
This is my brother.
And you are?
You sent word that you needed
a new ally to attack Wessex.
The word reached us
and we are happy to say that
we can provide such an ally.
An Earl with enough ships and men
to make your raid a great success.
His name is Earl Ingstad.
Earl Ingstad?
Earl Ingstad.
Never heard of him.
Why is he not with you?
He did not want to
waste the journey.
He wanted to be certain that you
were still in need of an ally.
- When can I meet him?
- You can meet him at any time.
- Yes!
- He is ready to attend.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
We have found a new ally.
Earl Ingstad...
whoever he is.
When will he arrive?
A few days.
And then Jarl Borg
will be executed.
That cannot come too
quickly for my liking.
You're hurting me!
You're hurting me!
Why do you do it?
Why do you sleep
with King Horik?
I do it for you.
Please!
What can King Horik do for me
that my brother cannot do?
Right now they are allies...
long may they remain so...
but in the event that
they should fall out,
you should be able to
choose between them.
Horik is a king.
Never forget that.
Never doubt how
much power he has.
What have you decided?
I have decided to take your advice.
I will set you free.
There are those here
who will help me.
People who only pretend
to be loyal to Ragnar.
And then?
And then we will kill
Ragnar Lothbrok.
I want to ask
you something.
What is a Blood Eagle?
The offender
gets down on his knees...
and his back is
opened with knives.
And then,
with axes,
his ribs are chopped
away from his spine.
And then his lungs
are pulled out of these
huge, bleeding wounds
and laid upon
his shoulders,
so they look like
the folded wings
of a great eagle.
And must he
stay like that,
suffering,
until he dies.
If he suffers in silence,
he may enter Valhalla.
But if he screams,
he can never enter
its portals.
Earl Ingstad is here.
Where is he?
He would not enter
the great hall.
He chose instead to
remain in the woods.
Earl Ingstad?
Earl Ingstad!
You bear a strong
resemblance to my ex-wife.
If I had given you
my true name,
you might have
turned me away.
How is Bjorn?
He is happy.
He is looking forward
to going to England.
As am I.
So you are truly an Earl?
Yes. We are equal.
I'm sure this is
difficult for you.
It is not difficult at all.
How many ships?
Four ships.
Over a hundred warriors.
So will you accept
me as an ally?
- That depends.
- On what?
I have been betrayed
by earls before.
So if you are really
Earl Ingstad,
then it's a no.
But if you are still the
Lagertha I remember,
then it is a yes.
Earl Ingstad.
More power!
Faster!
- Ungh!
- Aghhhh!
You say you try.
- That was not expected.
- No. It wasn't.
What do you think of it?
I think the gods are
playing a joke on me.
- It is not a joke.
- I know.
What do you think?
I like her.
- My former wife?
- Hmm...
I would rather be her.
- Ah!
- She is formidable.
Be stronger!
The gods are having a
good time with me today.
Attack!
It will be dark soon.
Horik! Is that you?
