You will die on the day that the blind man sees you.
I can see you, Ragnar Lothbrok.
I wanna know what's to the West.
What cities and gods are over there.
I'm not satisfied with this.
I'm a very curious man.
You and I have seen nothing yet.
Our journeys have just begun.
I'm very curious about England.
Tell me about Paris.
Why do we fight each other about this piece or that piece of land?!
Why are we not looking outwards to the West?
If we raided together
we would not need
to fight amongst ourselves.
This land is rich
but here
here is a real treasure.
That's why we should sail West.
I've heard such tales, Rollo.
Great towns and cities
and treasures.
Hordes of gold and silver
and a new god.
Hear my prayer.
Lord Odin is here
waiting to see which one of us he will take to his Great Hall.
You can neither hide from your God
nor ours.
I suffer from that same dilemma.
I hope that someday
our gods
can become friends.
There can be no reconciliation between our gods, the true gods, and the god that they worship.
God bless.
Or have you, in your heart
already renounced our gods and turned to the christ god?
I don't believe in the gods' existence.
Then they are both ridiculous.
Man is the master of his own fate, not the gods.
The gods desire you to have a great future
but they can withdraw their good will at any time.
I fashion the course of my life and my death.
Me. Not you. Not the gods. Me.
Shield wall!
Ragnar!
It is one thing to use a weapon
but another to kill.
Never hesitate.
We fight.
That is how we win and that is how we die.
What do you see?
Power.
Power is always dangerous.
It attracts our worst
and corrupts the best.
I never asked for power.
Hail Earl Ragnar!
I did not become king out of ambition, but once again
I had no choice
as a result of other people's actions.
One must always think the worst, Ragnar
even of your own kin.
That way you avoid too much disappointment in life.
You betrayed me.
You killed Athelstan.
You betrayed my trust
and my love for you.
I didn't betray you.
When everyone wanted you dead
I kept you alive!
I'm constantly torn between killing myself
or everyone around me.
King Ragnar!
You are the most dangerous man on this earth.
He is still the greatest
King Ragnar!
disturbance to our world.
I have to destroy something
someone
truly great.
Don't be afraid.
Why did you come back?
I came back
Father!
I was not to come back here
Father!
Hello, son!
because I wanted to see
if it weren't for my children.
what has become of my sons.
You should've come back a long time ago.
In my dreams
we are always together.
Earl Ingstad!
Take care today.
Are you sure you didn't want to go with him?
Not wanting.
My own, sweet Ragnar.
Wanting.
Who will bear me my son?
But you've endured me.
Yet you never turned our sons against me.
For all of that
with all my heart
I am grateful to you.
I want to go to England.
I want to go there!
I wanted step out of your shadow.
You understand that, don't you?
Oh, Father!
My brother!
You are not gone, because you are always in my heart
Gyda.
I thought your legs were a weakness.
Hurry up!
I was wrong.
Come on, donkey!
Your legs have given you a strength
a strength that even your brothers don't have.
And one day, the whole world will know and fear
Ivar the Boneless.
What is your name?
His name is Floki.
Athelstan.
You're a good christian.
You've done it again, my friend.
All my future lies with Ragnar.
I was always true to the gods
He chose to be with me.
and Ragnar.
I love you.
We will never meet again, my friend.
I don't know
if I'll see you in Valhalla.
If anyone deserves to go to Valhalla, it's you.
I feel so old.
When I was young I had the passion to win.
Now, with age and all that comes with it
I have lost the desire and the strength.
Who wants to be king?!
How the little piggies will grunt
when they hear how the old boar suffered.
My death comes without apology
and I welcome the Valkyries to summon me home!
Our father is probably dead by now
and we will have to avenge him.
