There’s a long beat. Ragnar glances at his son, then away
again, with a shrug.
RAGNAR:
It’s not up to me. Earl Haraldson
decides. I wish it was not so...but
that is the law.
But Bjorn can see that the question has affected his father’s
mood.
RAGNAR (CONT’D)
All the ice has gone. Spring is
here again, thanks to Frey.
EXT. CAMP - NIGHT
They have camped in the open. A fire is burning and they have
cooked some small animal over it and eaten it. The dog gnaws
at the bones.
BJORN:
There’s something I want to ask
you.
RAGNAR:
Then ask me.
BJORN:
How did you meet mother?
Ragnar’s smiles.
RAGNAR:
Hasn’t she ever told you?
BJORN:
Of course. But I want to know if
your story is the same as hers.
A beat.
RAGNAR:
Well, it occurred when a Swedish
chieftan invaded our part of
Norway. I went off to fight him and
many of the local women dressed up
in men’s clothing and joined our
camp. Lagertha was amongst them.

I was impressed by her courage and
courted her from afar.
BJORN:
How far is that?
RAGNAR:
Hush. Listen. After a while I went
to confess my love for her - but
when I arrived I was set upon by a
bear and an enormous hound who
guarded her home. I killed the bear
strangle the hound with my bare
hands.
(beat)
And that’s the way I gained her
hand in marriage.
(glances at his son)
What did she tell you?
Bjorn smiles, then lies down, pulls the blanket over himself.
RAGNAR (CONT’D)
Did she tell you the same story?
A long beat.
BJORN:
Just about.
And he closes his eyes, still smiling.
EXT. KATTEGAT - DAY
They ride into Kattegat, a sizeable town and a trading
station, set on the bank of a river. It’s a busy place with
open carts and covered wagons, horses and boats bringing
people and goods to the local market, as well as delegates to
the Thing, wearing ribbons around their foreheads.
At the market place, TRADERS - several of them of Arabic
appearance, and dressed in totally different costumes - are
examining the pelts, furs, ropes and bear-skins for sale.
The ARABS are also examining the handful of SLAVES for sale,
most of Slavic appearance, checking their teeth, hair and
nails, as if they were horses.
There is a lot of good-humored banter and loud haggling.
All of this Bjorn has clearly seen before, and is not fazed
by.
