Are you ready to receive your arm ring, and become a man.
Yes.
And what does a man do? - He fights.
And? - He looks after his family.
That's right.
Look at my boys.
could you look after our family.
Look after your Mother.
You look after us.
say I wasn't there.
I have a big decision to make.
I want to know what is to the west.
It may change many things. - How lucky we are that the gods gave us this opportunity.
- What cities and gods are over there. - What lies ahead are new cities, worlds, people and places.
My father would have relished this opportunity.
Odin, father I want to grow and to prosper to grow and be wise.
Seems your Mother and I have produced a son that is both strong and wise.
You led today.
- I only did what my instincts told me to do. - That is a start.
Ever since you were eight years old, all I heard was father, father, I want to come with you, I am ready.
I feel my blood warming. - Father, I want to fight.
It is a proud day when a Father takes his Son to his first battle.
Well...
My son and I shall come.
Here we are...
- Don't be too impatient. - Get down now. -To put yourself in danger.
Don't die stupidly. I'm not going to die.
But you cannot alter my fate. - You stay true to your path.
Are we afraid to die?
I am not afraid.
Not me!
Both of you stop treating him like a child/
Stay strong. - Be strong, be a man.
He is a man so let him be one.
you're a man now Bjorn. - you're a real man now.
Act like one.
They say he left Kattegat boy and came back a man.
Why do you want to fight.
And what are you fighting for?
That.
Nothing can stop us.- there will come a time where you will become responsible for our people.
No one will ever be able to doubt what we have achieved.
You are our king. - What does a king do Bjorn.
He rules. - For now.
Odin.
My father is dead.
But when your time comes. - I am the leader of this great army...ME!
You must lead with your head, not with your heart.
Can you do that? - Go on! Ram!
Yes father. - Shield wall!
Charge!
They say that you are protected by the gods. - Since no axe, spear or blade could touch my son today.
And therefore.. - Archers!
Indestructible! - Kill them!
He will now be known as Bjorn Ironside.
I think.. - People started to talk as if he was a God, he was not a god he was a man.
...You bleed like any other man.
...Like any other man.
A man with many dreams and many failings.
Retreat! - Run!
Retreat!
Despite all his failings.
He is still the greatest man in the world to me. - You are one of the most famous men in the world.
Don't come back unless you have done or seen something extraordinary.
Otherwise you will not be in the stories and what will I be able to tell our children about their famous father.
We made it Ironside. - Bjorn Ironside.
At last...The Mediterranean.
I wish you were coming with me. - My fate will take me elsewhere, I always knew I had to return to explore the Mediterranean Sea.
No, you don't. - It's my destiny.
And now I feel free to follow my destiny. - You said yourself this is your destiny not mine.
This is further than our people have ever come. Further than Ragnar dreamed.
Your mistakes are yours and so are your successes.
I want to go out into the wilderness.
I'd like to test myself.
Away from everything.
Get away from all this.
Find out if I can survive.
I want to know what is essential to life.
we will have many adventures here.
What is really important.
And if we live. - Bjorn.
Many stories to tell at the great hall.
Welcome home my son. - Well look who's back.
Well it seems I have returned just in time. - If you kill her my brothers you will have to kill me too.
Let's put aside our differences. - Ubbe?
For the sake of our father. - We are brothers.
Hvitsurg, Sigurd, Ivar? - Together.
Ivar! - What is this?
A civil war can only bring tragedy.
Never again will we negotiate with Ivar.
I have lost my Father. - Father
I love you.
And now my mother. Mother?
Yet here is my Fathers dream. You know that was always my dream.
Look Bjorn, look at this treasure.
everything he ever wanted for us.
If Ivar wins. - I don't belong here. - Ragnar's dreams are lost. I want to take Kattegat back from Ivar.
Once more brother will fight against brother. - It will be like Ragnarok.
And the world will be wrecked. I owe my brother so much, but I owe you far more.
My brother. My brother!
Still my hero. - I love our children.
Thank you.
And I will always make them proud of you.
May the gods go with you and protect you my son.
IVAAAAAAR!!!
You know who I am. - Bjorn Ironside.
Bjorn Ironside. - Bjorn Ironside!
Your famous. - Fame travels far.
Son of Ragnar.
I grew up with many of you.
You were my neighbours, my friends we played together when we were children.
Stop.I do not want to fight.
I am not your enemy!
Here is the sword of kings. - Father you can do it.
Hail King Bjorn. King of Kattegat.
I'm proud of you.
Hail King Bjorn! - Hail Earl Ragnar.
Hail King Bjorn!!!! - Hail Earl Ragnar!!!!
What do you see? - Power.
Power is always dangerous.
Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up.
no one will ever forget the name Bjorn Ironside.
Greater than the Ragnar.
The war is not over.
