Vikings

Previously on Vikings...

I must go back to England.

Should have gone back a long time ago.

This is a map of the Roman empire.

I want to go there!

Floki is building the boat.

Hvitserk has agreed to come with me

as well as king Harald and his brother.

What about you two?

We want to stay and protect our mother.

You cannot tell my brothers

I'm not able to satisfy a woman.

I will never embarrass you! I swear!

Our father was defeated.

Nobody loves him anymore.

Nobody believes in him.

I want you to be ready.

Why won't you tell me what we have to do?

Because I'm not ready.

You abandoned me.

Perhaps I'll explain my actions when

we get to England.

Ask me like you asked my brothers.

- Ivar... - Of course I'll come.

All hides and furs!

All types of fur and hides!

From hebedy!

Hello, friends.

The great king Ragnar,

back from the dead.

What are you doing here?

I can let you in on a secret.

I'm going to raid England again.

And I'm looking for warriors, like you

and like you, to join me.

Why do you want to raid England again?

I've heard your son Bjorn has other plans.

Yes, he does, but I have my own plans.

To exact revenge

on the destruction of the settlement.

Yeah. My brother and his family went with you.

They were farmers, like me.

We never did find out what happened to them.

But it seems

you knew all along

and didn't tell us.

And now you want us to go and revenge,

not for my brother and his wife

and their children,

because you didn't care for them...

No...

For your own guilt.

And do you know what, Ragnar Lothbrok?

Do you know what?

Thank you for your time.

And if I had the mind to raid...

I would raid with your son, and not with you!

For I believe the gods have deserted you,

king Ragnar Lothbrok!

You are on your own!

Everyone hates you now!

You will have to travel down here,

along the coast of Frankia.

It will be hard not to be detected.

I am sure

Floki's new boats can outsail anything

the Franks put out to sea.

We cannot be at sea forever.

Rollo has a new kingdom on the coast.

I don't see any other way.

Because there isn't one.

I could talk to rollo.

Talk to him?

After what he did?

I have to be practical.

It is the best way.

It is our way.

I will send messengers to him

and if he kills them, I will know where he stands.

And he will know where you are.

He would find out anyway.

I wish you were coming with me.

No, you don't.

You said yourself, this is your destiny, not mine.

Your mistakes are yours...

And so are your successes.

So, are you going to England?

That is the plan.

And who will sail with you?

Somehow I will work it out.

There is one thing I need your help with.

What?

I need ships.

I will give you ships.

That was easy.

What are you laughing at?

Hmm?

She's my special servant now.

And she has a lot of reasons to be grateful to me.

I'm not sure I believe you, little brother.

And I'm sure you're jealous.

You cannot keep a slave to yourself. No, not like that.

Mother, tell them to stop tormenting me.

It makes me so happy you are with a woman.

The rest of you should already be married.

Ubbe, you should have children.

I probably already have.

Just because you are the sons of a king

does not mean you can be irresponsible.

It's important to find a woman and settle down.

I thought I had found a woman.

But now Ivar has taken her away from me.

Skol!

I don't mean love.

You don't have to love the woman.

As a king's son, you can have as many woman as you like...

Yeah!

But you need one to breed with.

So then you don't believe in love?

I didn't say that.

So you loved Ragnar when you married him?

And he loved you?

Of course I loved him!

Some say that you bewitched him.

What is wrong with you?

Nothing's wrong with me.

I just want to know if she's ever loved

anyone except harbard.

You remember harbard, don't you?

Of course she has loved someone else.

She has always loved...

Me?

Isn't that right, mother?

She feels pity for you.

That's all.

We all feel pity for you.

But sometimes we wish

that she'd left you to the wolves.

- Sigurd! - What?

Ivar.

It is all right.

Are you coming over here?

Go on, Boneless.

Go on, little Ivar.

What are you going to do?

Stop! Stop!

It's good to be in Kattegat.

Yeah, it'll be good.

- He's not scared of him. - No.

I'm telling you, he was afraid.

Mother!

And Astrid.

What has brought you to Kattegat?

I have to watch my son depart for his destiny.

How could I stay away?

Welcome to the feast.

Thank you, Bjorn.

Halfdan. King Harald.

Bjorn Ironside. It's been a long time.

Come.

You have not been idle.

We have all heard of your exploits.

- Yes. - That you captured rogaland

and overthrew king Arnarson and Earl Eyjolf.

- Yes. - Hmm.

- And also king Svein. - Hmm.

Then you are nearer to your ultimate ambition.

Of being king of Norway.

I think it is impossible, Bjorn.

How can I ever overthrow king Ragnar?

As for you, Bjorn,

I want to say we believe in you.

We believe in this journey.

And we believe that the gods are with you.

Indeed.

Astrid!

Come, have a drink.

Come meet my brothers.

- Ah! - Ubbe, Hvitserk,

Sigurd and Ivar.

Hvitserk is coming with us.

I remember you, I remember all of you!

But how you've all grown tall. You're not boys anymore!

I am so much taller when I stand up.

I'm sure you wish you could come with us.

Go to hell.

I like him.

Floki!

- Floki! - Harald.

Floki!

- Good to see you. - So good to see you.
