We must prepare for another attack.
Lagertha
One thing I'm thinking is whether to have you killed or not.
King Olaf
Gods blessed upon a sea of corpses.
King Olaf
Come and see, come and see the wreck of humanity.
King Olaf
Ivar: When did you plan to kill your brother?
Oleg: When did you plan to tell me you were a god?
People of Kattegat. I told you that when I became King, my rule would be very different from that of Ivar's. And I mean to keep that pledge, Ivar built a wall around our town. He discouraged foreigners, outlawed free speech, and descent amongst our own people. Kattegat can only survive and grow prosperous through trade. Not conquest. That is my belief. This is your meeting. Your chance to come to me with whatever you want, and I will listen. I am but your humble servant.
Bjorn
I have decided to treat your arrival here as a sign, Ivar the Boneless.
Oleg
Bjorn: We have embarked on a new way of life here. That was always my commitment as King. To build the most successful trading station in all of Scandinavia. But I will need your continued support. I need my family. Mother?
Lagertha: I wish you well in your enterprise my dear son, and I'm sure you will succeed, but in the future, you will have to do it without me.
Bjorn: I don't understand. Why won't you stay?
Lagertha: I have seen enough of war. I have seen enough of death. I have lost so many. I don't want to be a public person anymore. I don't want to be responsible. I desire to live a totally different kind of life.
Bjorn: How can you do that?
Lagertha: I plan to build farmstead. Just like the one Ragnar and I lived in when we were first married. Where we were all so happy.
Ivar: Someone betrayed me and let them in. Are you going to deny it?
Freydis: No. On the body of our dead son, no. I let them in.
You know who I am. I am Bjorn Ironside, son of Ragnar. I grew up with many of you. You were my neighbors, my friends. We played together when we were children. I am not your enemy! Ivar is your enemy! He rules over you with tyranny and cruelty.
Bjorn
Torvi: You were between life and death? What did that teach you?
Lagertha: The only thing that I've learned is that life is about suffering. There's no escape from it. That's the truth. What's important is how we deal with suffering, how we deal with the truth.
Gunnhild: I have thoughts too. I have dreams. I lost a husband, and I have never had children.
Bjorn: Do you want children?
Gunnhild: It's what my body was made for.
