I thought your legs were a weakness..
and you wouldn't survive.
Ivar!
I hated being a cripple. Always breaking my bones... the endless pain
i was wrong
- I don't want to.. - No no, you can do it.
The legs are giving you a strength... strength that even your brothers don't have.
- People think that you are not a threat. - How's that cripple?
- He's just a cripple. - What do you mean just a cripple?
- But I know differently - He's the strongest, most violent man I have ever known.
- You are special... not in spite of your legs... but because of them.
- Out of all of my sons it was you I wanted to bring here.
- I want you to teach him the ways about Gods, teach Ivar the true path.
- And it is you that i believe.. - Teach him to be a viking.
- is the most important to the future of our people.
- You are destined for great things. - You have many gifts.
- Anger is the gift, what is in here is the gift. - Strategy and planning are everything.
- Here. - You do not think like other men. You are unpredictable.
- The mind is a far better warrior than a sword.
That will serve you well.
- Do you know who I am? - Of course..
You are Ivar.
His name is Ivar.
- The son of Ragnar Lothbrok.
I've heard of you..
Ivar... the Boneless.
You are Ivar the Boneless, son of Ragnar.
And many there are... who fear you.
- She's started afraid of him. - Nobody is with you.
So am i, Sigurd.
Everyone is with me.
So am I.
- He's no longer the Ivar i knew, the brother I knew. - You don't really want peace...
- Horse! - Do you?
- You are a byword for terror all over this world.
- I was so angry all the time.
- All my life has been a struggle... a war against myself.
but look what you have already accomplished
People of Kattegat!
I Am Ivar the Boneless!
Ivar the Boneless is a God.
All hail your new king!
What kind of a ruler is your brother?
Is he cruel, is he a monster?
- He's a tyrant - Do not be afraid that i have been revealed to be a g od.
Use your anger intelligently.
Ivar is clever. Everything you all think, he has already thought.
You're insane, Ragnar Lothbrok.
I'm going to cripple them.
- You are crazy. - But this is beautiful.
And I promise you my son.. one day the whole world... will know and fear...
Ivar the Boneless.
In Ragnar's time everyone was free. Ragnar never forced them to do anything.
He never forced them to worship him.
He knew he was only human just like the rest of us.
I wish I wasn't so angry all the time.
Then you would be nothing.
- Might have been happy? - You're the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.
I've waited for you a long time
I thought you would make everything perfect.
Happiness is nothing.
And there's a part of me that will always love you.
Ivar!
- Don't do this, Ivar. - We are brothers.
We are all the sons of Ragnar we have to stick together.
together.
- You said you wouldn't fight your brothers. - Come with me, Bjorn.
You are no longer my brother
I can never forgive Lagertha for murdering our mother... how can you?
Mother.
Our Mother!
Of course i'm going to kill her.
Hvitserk.
- Why do you keep returning? - Since it's my fate to kill you...
- I don't understand. - It makes sense for me to stay with you I suppose.
But i'm happy to see you... truly happy to see you.
This is prince Igor.
Prince!
I always imagined ruling was my destiny.
Everything here belongs to you.
but now I'm not sure I ever really wanted it after all.
Everything in the whole Rus.. It's all yours.
Being king brings some little pleasure
so little satisfaction.
So tell us, Ivar...
Hail god Ivar!
is it true you're a god?
- What are you, huh? - I am nothing.
Sad, poor Ivar.
Sitting on that throne means nothing.
You are not divine.
There's an illusion of power that induces inside your kind of madness.
What you have to learn Ivar.. is that if you break up this brotherhood... you shall not succeed.
- it's impossible. - I told you Ivar, you can't kill him.
- He's not a god. - Neither are you.
What about me?
I've always known your faith... I have foresuffered it.
- What is it? - Your eyes have turned deep blue, Ivar.
Some ways it will not surprise you.
We knew that when your eyes turned blue you were in great danger of hurting yourself.
and we would say, "Not today, Ivar..
not today."
Poor Ivar.. connecting nothing with nothing.
Think of your father.. sat here.. dreaming his dreams.
of places beyond all this. Don't you remember?
There are many other places that I want to attack and raid.
Then here is not my fate?
Ivar!
No one has ever cared for me the way you are cared for me.
- Sweet child do not weep. - I think you saw something of yourself in me.
You've changed
- They told me you were leaving. - You cannot leave me.
- You can't i won't allow it. - You are not a child anymore.
Ivar the Boneless, scourge of the world.
Only a man can be king.
You don't need me.
And a man must put aside childish things and he must know how to stand on his own feet.
One day with my father.
Be a man.
Don't be a cripple anymore.
That's worth a lifetime of pity.
You still claim to be vikings then act like vikings.
- You will die, Ivar. - Come with me and conquer King Alfred.
One day it's true... i will die.
Be like the gods and reach for Valhalla!
- But when they dig up my bones. - What is it you really want, Ivar Lothbrok?
I want them to say..
I want to be the most famous man who ever lived.
Here is the grave of the most famous viking who ever lived.
All my life has been a preparation for this moment.
Come out and fight, you coward.
Ivar!
Stay back.
I could never kill you.
Your eyes are blue, Ivar.
Not today.
I didn't come here to go back.
I am Ivar the Boneless.
You know who I am!
You know you can't kill me!
No matter how hard you try!
Because I will live forever!
Are we afraid of death?
We do not intend to die in our beds as old men,
but sup with our loved one in Valhalla!
One day everyone will know...
Hail Ivar!
of Ivar the Boneless.
I love you, brother.
- I love you... I love you. - I love you.
Don't be afraid.
All the pain is going away, Ivar.
No more pain.
No one will ever forget Ivar the Boneless.
