Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,347
The House of Ashur
would carve its own path
2
00:00:13,514 --> 00:00:16,225
and fuck into oblivion
all who stands in its way.
3
00:00:17,685 --> 00:00:19,603
You have not earned
position in this fuckin' house.
4
00:00:19,729 --> 00:00:21,147
They will never
welcome a woman
5
00:00:21,272 --> 00:00:22,106
as one of their own.
6
00:00:22,273 --> 00:00:23,649
She's not absent skill.
7
00:00:23,816 --> 00:00:26,193
And when were you
last upon the sands, old man?
8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,989
Gabinius? He hosts the
game of the Ludi Apollinares.
9
00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:33,325
I see a man possessed
of serpent-tongued wife.
10
00:00:33,451 --> 00:00:35,202
Perhaps the House of Opiter
11
00:00:35,327 --> 00:00:37,955
shall present
surprising challenge.
12
00:00:38,122 --> 00:00:40,332
You worry over him
beyond reason.
13
00:00:40,499 --> 00:00:41,667
Yet who worries over you?
14
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:44,378
Apedemak.
God of war and conquest.
15
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:45,713
Then why work his image?
16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,465
As a reminder what was lost.
17
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:48,632
She took
the life of a brother,
18
00:00:48,758 --> 00:00:50,301
yet you let her live.
19
00:00:50,426 --> 00:00:51,510
She drew blood.
20
00:00:51,677 --> 00:00:53,763
And any man who lays
undesired hand upon her
21
00:00:53,929 --> 00:00:57,308
shall feel my own
at fucking throat.
22
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:10,446
You risked life
of valued acquisition
23
00:01:10,613 --> 00:01:13,657
by pressing grievance
with fucking steel?!
24
00:01:13,824 --> 00:01:15,451
And what of
the life of Creticus?
25
00:01:15,618 --> 00:01:16,911
Was it not a thing
of equal worth?
26
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,329
No one would produce coin
27
00:01:18,454 --> 00:01:20,539
to see shit walking upright
upon the sands of the arena.
28
00:01:20,706 --> 00:01:22,416
We do not overflow
with men of skill
29
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,877
that the passing of one
should be met with indifference.
30
00:01:25,044 --> 00:01:27,379
Does voice sound
fuckin' indifferent?
31
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:30,466
The man stood but
crudely formed brick!
32
00:01:30,925 --> 00:01:33,385
Achillia stands as
fucking foundation.
33
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:35,971
Her entrance to the games
of the Ludi Apollinares
34
00:01:36,138 --> 00:01:37,598
will secure the ascent
of this house
35
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:39,683
that you're always
moaning on about!
36
00:01:39,809 --> 00:01:41,852
You have swayed
Gabinius to our cause?
37
00:01:44,396 --> 00:01:46,565
Prize was within grasp
when we broke meal,
38
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:49,819
until unfortunate
turn of humors.
39
00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:52,655
Your words have been
known to carry such effect.
40
00:01:52,822 --> 00:01:55,199
He pressed for honesty,
you towering fuck,
41
00:01:55,366 --> 00:01:56,700
and, when presented with such,
42
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:59,787
took offence and commanded me
to fall from fuckin' sight.
43
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,373
So... we remain beggars,
44
00:02:02,665 --> 00:02:04,625
knees upon ground, mouth open
45
00:02:04,792 --> 00:02:07,211
to pleasure any cock
that rises to favor.
46
00:02:07,378 --> 00:02:09,046
You need concern
yourself with the duties
47
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:11,257
I paid you for in coin,
48
00:02:11,382 --> 00:02:12,591
most pressing of which
49
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:15,553
seeing Achillia ready to
face the Brothers Ferox,
50
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,931
not taking actions
absent authority.
51
00:02:19,098 --> 00:02:22,476
I gauged the woman
to be wild and untamed,
52
00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:23,978
yet you did not heed warning.
53
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:25,437
I stand fucking Dominus.
54
00:02:25,563 --> 00:02:27,064
And I fucking Doctore.
55
00:02:27,231 --> 00:02:29,525
Upon the sands, my word is law.
56
00:02:30,192 --> 00:02:32,319
You would place
yourself above me?
57
00:02:32,945 --> 00:02:36,031
I place my experience
in such matters beyond any man.
58
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:37,867
Then why does Achillia
yet draw breath
59
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:41,495
if you find her such an affront
to delicate sensibilities?
60
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:43,372
Because she
proved herself worthy,
61
00:02:43,747 --> 00:02:45,499
at least of further
consideration.
62
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,876
Ah...
63
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:51,463
You speak of worth
and the proving of it.
64
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:55,134
I will set you upon task
to mirror the same.
65
00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:58,554
Hm. And what vaunted
purpose moves my hand?
66
00:02:58,721 --> 00:03:00,598
Whatever fucking
purpose I require
67
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:03,767
towards satisfaction of loyalty.
68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,209
We stand dishonored,
69
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,421
lacking Dominus with fucking
cock to reclaim lost glory
70
00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:34,590
from the days of
Gannicus and Crixus.
71
00:03:34,757 --> 00:03:36,508
True fuckin' champions.
72
00:03:36,675 --> 00:03:39,011
Far eclipsing
the shit Syrian!
73
00:03:39,178 --> 00:03:41,055
Break words
more wisely...
74
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:45,017
or see own questionable manhood
parted from body
75
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:47,645
in unfortunate manner
of Creticus.
76
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:50,439
His pet Nubian
claims life of a brother
77
00:03:50,606 --> 00:03:54,777
absent consequence, a jest to
all who greeted him as friend.
78
00:03:54,944 --> 00:03:56,278
A thing uncontested,
79
00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:59,406
yet I bow to the will
of our Dominus,
80
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:01,659
as all of us must.
81
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:04,954
For now.
82
00:04:06,038 --> 00:04:07,081
Hmm.
83
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:16,548
Erato's words hold truth.
84
00:04:16,715 --> 00:04:18,717
They could hold
the world and still prove
85
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:20,010
of little use.
86
00:04:20,678 --> 00:04:21,470
Does the honor of the house
87
00:04:21,637 --> 00:04:23,639
not stand above all else?
88
00:04:25,808 --> 00:04:26,684
It should.
89
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:27,810
Then our fucking
Dominus has tainted it
90
00:04:27,977 --> 00:04:30,646
by positioning woman
towards the arena.
91
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,148
Attend!
92
00:04:36,819 --> 00:04:38,737
I am set to task
beyond these walls.
93
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:42,866
In my absence, Celadus shall
stand Doctore until my return.
94
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:50,916
Gratitude.
95
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:54,294
It is a heavy honor.
96
00:04:55,254 --> 00:04:59,008
The honor is mine to
have old friend assume my place.
97
00:05:04,346 --> 00:05:05,681
See the men to purpose.
98
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:16,066
Resume training.
99
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:19,403
Tarchon, Erato, take position
100
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:21,780
- and fall-
- Brace!
101
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,913
Youthful fury pales against
the master of fucking sword.
102
00:05:31,957 --> 00:05:33,542
Aargh!
103
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:37,546
Inform me when such a master
presents himself...
104
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,674
and I will serve same meal
that fills fucking mouth.
105
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:41,967
Tarchon!
106
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:44,053
Had you faced an opponent
of the slightest worth,
107
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:47,181
wild attack would have seen you
upon the ground of the arena
108
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:50,684
with addled brain
spilled from fucking head.
109
00:05:51,769 --> 00:05:53,270
Retake position
110
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,607
and fall to proper form.
111
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:02,362
Doctore.
112
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:17,628
She fights as one
yet burdened by chains.
113
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:22,716
Perhaps she is shackled by thing
of more crushing weight.
114
00:06:26,804 --> 00:06:28,722
Expand upon thought.
115
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,354
I noted a shadow within eye,
116
00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:36,772
as of lingering specter.
117
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:38,482
When did you find
yourself so close to her
118
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:39,525
to observe this?
119
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:42,361
I had occasion to break words
when you ventured upon Appian--
120
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:45,280
You summoned her into the villa
absent my presence?
121
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:47,449
No, Dominus.
I went to the Nubian's cell,
122
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:48,450
accompanied by guards--
123
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:51,328
You are forbidden in the ludus.
124
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:55,624
It is unsafe for one so soft,
even with presence of escort.
125
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:59,253
I am no mouse,
nor shall cower as such.
126
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:07,594
Apologies, Dominus.
127
00:07:18,814 --> 00:07:21,900
And did you divine
the cause of this shadow
128
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:23,485
you fucking noted?
129
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,409
- No.
- No.
130
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:32,786
Yet...
131
00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:34,121
mood grew ever more somber
132
00:07:34,246 --> 00:07:37,207
when eye fell upon scars
marking the back of her hand.
133
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:39,793
Whatever weights soul
may be tethered
134
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,378
to how she came by them.
135
00:07:53,515 --> 00:07:54,683
Hold.
136
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:09,114
Return to your labors...
137
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:15,996
as we fall to our own.
138
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:19,791
I am to train with you?
139
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,336
I am to gauge first hand
your progress.
140
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,254
Yes, Dominus.
141
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:27,174
Is this the style favored when
you drew blood from Doctore?
142
00:08:27,341 --> 00:08:28,133
That of murmillo?
143
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:29,259
No, Dominus.
144
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:32,221
Sword and torch,
absent weight of fucking shield.
145
00:08:32,387 --> 00:08:34,723
Akin to that of dimachaerus.
146
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:38,060
A style favored by
Spartacus himself.
147
00:08:39,937 --> 00:08:41,230
Sword.
148
00:08:45,317 --> 00:08:48,195
Let us divine if you
stand his equal in promise.
149
00:08:57,079 --> 00:08:59,498
Am I to be punished
if I draw blood?
150
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:05,295
Such a feat
will be met with reward.
151
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,426
Begin.
152
00:09:28,944 --> 00:09:32,489
Offerings to offend eye,
and all...
153
00:09:32,656 --> 00:09:33,991
related senses.
154
00:09:34,157 --> 00:09:36,326
Fault lies with
Cilician cutthroats
155
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:39,079
preying upon ships bearing goods
of more earnest quality.
156
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,581
- Words well spoken.
- An enduring bane
157
00:09:41,707 --> 00:09:43,792
which must be handled
with greatest urgency
158
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:45,294
by those imbued with
the power to act.
159
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:47,296
I can assure you,
my husband is maneuvering
160
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:48,588
toward such an end.
161
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:50,882
I shall pray to the
gods the attempt is not mired
162
00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:54,594
in pompous rhetoric, as often
turns within the Senate.
163
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:01,310
An encumbrance thankfully not
suffered by your husband,
164
00:10:01,476 --> 00:10:05,939
who remains well-satisfied
in the unrivalled monotony
165
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:07,607
of tax collection.
166
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:11,111
Horatia!
167
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,449
Clouds form upon horizon.
168
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:19,619
What unexpected joy
to fall upon you.
169
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:21,371
Mwah. Mwah.
170
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:22,497
Had I known-
171
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:24,624
mwah, mwah-
you were venturing about,
172
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:27,836
I would have gladly set aside
more urgent concerns...
173
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:30,547
...and joined you.
174
00:10:30,714 --> 00:10:32,382
A decision
conjured upon the moment.
175
00:10:32,549 --> 00:10:34,843
A thing too slight to mention.
176
00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:40,015
Horatia, I must implore you
to break words with Uvidus
177
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:42,768
to open new grain routes.
178
00:10:43,602 --> 00:10:46,021
We were not so burdened
by scarcity under watchful eye
179
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:48,065
of previous aedile,
180
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:50,776
a man much deserving
of honored position.
181
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:53,695
My husband sits in esteemed
counsel this very moment,
182
00:10:53,862 --> 00:10:56,948
attempting to bring relief
to the good citizens of Capua.
183
00:10:57,824 --> 00:11:00,494
My husband was not informed
of stated gathering.
184
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:03,121
Such meetings
are confined to men of note.
185
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:08,627
Gratitude for clarifying
such matters of import.
186
00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:12,964
And I would be remiss
if I did not inquire
187
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:15,884
after the welfare of
beloved daughter.
188
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:20,639
Has she yet left villa since
her husband's untimely demise
189
00:11:20,806 --> 00:11:23,892
at the hands of Spartacus
and his rebel horde?
190
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,437
Viridia shows no inclination
to end mourning.
191
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:30,607
I stand deeply concerned
for her well-being.
192
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:32,484
Of course.
193
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:38,115
I but hope to see grief balmed
by that of new-sprung love.
194
00:11:39,533 --> 00:11:40,992
As would we all.
195
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:45,247
My youngest son, Manilius,
196
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:49,543
has come of age and seeks wife
of proper breeding. Perhaps--
197
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,628
A name worthy of consideration.
198
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:57,843
Yet I crave more equitable
pairing for deserving child.
199
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:01,972
The wife of noble Gabinius
200
00:12:02,139 --> 00:12:06,101
knows best in all regards.
201
00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:11,314
Please convey thoughts of better
days to your poor daughter.
202
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:17,154
It is a wonder,
is it not, to behold a sow
203
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,448
bedecked in silk and jewels?
204
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:21,908
Shit! Fuck!
205
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,704
The gods curse me!
Lend hand if you are able!
206
00:12:32,627 --> 00:12:34,838
You stand the Syrian's man,
do you not?
207
00:12:36,965 --> 00:12:37,674
A thing well-known.
208
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,342
Yes, well-known indeed.
209
00:12:39,968 --> 00:12:43,221
- Horatia, the aedile's wife.
- Modesta, wife of...
210
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:45,891
who does it fucking matter?
211
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:48,018
I trust you were not
too grievously wounded
212
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:51,480
by the loss of your man
to the Brothers Ferox.
213
00:12:51,646 --> 00:12:52,647
Scarcely thought upon.
214
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:54,858
Yes, I suppose
you must have grown
215
00:12:55,025 --> 00:12:56,401
accustomed with failure,
216
00:12:56,526 --> 00:12:59,446
given the quality
of your offerings.
217
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,283
Apologies, but I'm pressed upon
urgent business.
218
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:06,912
For your Dominus?
219
00:13:08,997 --> 00:13:11,625
You mistake me.
I am a free man.
220
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:14,085
Oh, apologies for the error.
221
00:13:14,252 --> 00:13:18,215
It is a truth presenting
challenge to recall.
222
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:22,802
May your day be blessed
as richly deserved.
223
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:30,101
Years have advanced,
yet he is still of a form.
224
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,354
I have heard
tales of his sword
225
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:34,898
impaling the most brutish
of opponents
226
00:13:35,065 --> 00:13:36,900
in advance of winning freedom.
227
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:38,443
Mm.
Would that his own weapon
228
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:41,655
be put to more intimate use.
229
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:43,365
You lower yourselves,
230
00:13:43,532 --> 00:13:46,743
and towards one who favors cock
to moister offerings.
231
00:13:47,702 --> 00:13:52,165
Let us to midday meal, and the
hope of more elevated discourse.
232
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:27,117
Do eyes fucking deceive?
233
00:14:27,284 --> 00:14:29,744
The gods grant favor to cross
our paths, brother.
234
00:14:29,911 --> 00:14:34,332
Fides. You wander far astray
from your man Proculus.
235
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:36,084
The fucking cunt
parts with coin
236
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:38,128
as readily as he would
arm or cock.
237
00:14:38,628 --> 00:14:40,255
I lay wager in the pits
to repay debt owed
238
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:43,133
to shriveled noble absent
reason or mercy.
239
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:45,051
The old fuck would see me
to the mines
240
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:46,511
if the ledger is not balanced.
241
00:14:46,678 --> 00:14:47,679
I shall leave you to it, then.
242
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:50,849
Place from fucking mind, brother.
243
00:14:50,974 --> 00:14:53,184
What moves you to fall
from such lofty perch?
244
00:14:53,351 --> 00:14:55,103
You never cared for
this fucking place,
245
00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:56,813
nor those that haunt its walls.
246
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:59,608
Years have not dimmed aversion,
yet I am set to task
247
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:01,943
upon vital errand
in service of my employer.
248
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:03,903
For the fucking Syrian?
249
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:09,492
Whatever he asks
of his better,
250
00:15:09,618 --> 00:15:11,119
Fides will aid in effort.
251
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:12,746
Gratitude.
Yet it is a private matter
252
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,080
ventured upon discretion.
253
00:15:14,205 --> 00:15:15,624
Your lips were ever sealed,
254
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:18,001
and even now more so
you stand as Doctore
255
00:15:18,126 --> 00:15:20,211
in a house blessed
by Crassus himself,
256
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:24,007
while poor Fides toils for
scraps from fucking Proculus.
257
00:15:24,174 --> 00:15:25,759
Bridle overreaching desire
258
00:15:25,884 --> 00:15:26,885
and see prospects brighten.
259
00:15:27,052 --> 00:15:29,387
May the gods
grant such discipline.
260
00:15:29,554 --> 00:15:32,015
Come, let us share a drink
and relive days past
261
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:33,475
when we stood yet at shoulders.
262
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:37,854
A dire warning to every shit who
dared break unflattering word.
263
00:15:38,396 --> 00:15:40,982
I would welcome such
fond memories, and uh,
264
00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:45,195
petition kindness
to help ease present burden.
265
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:48,323
You stand so defiled by misdeeds
266
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:50,200
you beg absent honor?
267
00:15:50,367 --> 00:15:52,952
Ram cock up the arse of honor.
268
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,372
I need coin, mm,
269
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:58,541
and you stand well-positioned
to provide such.
270
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:02,212
Misfortune can forge iron
in those who bear its heat.
271
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,341
I would not obstruct such vital
lesson for one with keen need
272
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:09,511
to set foot towards
more auspicious path.
273
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:14,182
Perhaps the Syrian
or withered noble
274
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,017
might prove more generous
275
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:19,479
in return for tales
of your past misdeeds.
276
00:16:20,772 --> 00:16:21,856
Be well...
277
00:16:22,232 --> 00:16:23,817
and place me far
from fucking thought.
278
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,861
Our business is not--
279
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:29,948
Avert fuckin' eyes
next they light upon me.
280
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:42,877
Fire burns bright,
281
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:46,423
as it did in the eyes
of the mad Thracian.
282
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:52,137
He too made attempt
upon life of his Dominus.
283
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,161
Yet his venture
proved more successful.
284
00:17:16,786 --> 00:17:18,329
Why do you fail?
285
00:17:19,330 --> 00:17:21,416
Your skill with sword
exceeds my own.
286
00:17:21,583 --> 00:17:22,792
By considerable
fuckin' margin,
287
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:26,880
yet insignificant
towards question. Why...
288
00:17:28,006 --> 00:17:29,549
do you fail?
289
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,940
Perhaps wooden man
will offer greater opportunity
290
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:47,358
for reflection.
291
00:17:47,525 --> 00:17:50,111
Work the palus,
and turn thoughts inwards
292
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:53,823
towards more enlightened
response.
293
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:23,311
Shit struggles against piss.
294
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:26,981
Make offer towards winner.
295
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:30,276
No more than three denarii.
296
00:18:35,657 --> 00:18:38,076
Day unexpectedly brightens.
297
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:43,164
You stand absent wine.
298
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:47,085
Allow unworthy hands
to see offense corrected.
299
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:48,419
I am for business,
300
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:50,505
and the swift fucking
concluding of it.
301
00:18:51,089 --> 00:18:53,258
We stand the same
in that regard.
302
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:55,927
Recent losses have
depleted stable,
303
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:59,055
forcing me to restock
offerings towards arena.
304
00:18:59,222 --> 00:19:00,515
These men would see your ludus
305
00:19:00,682 --> 00:19:02,267
a greater disadvantage.
306
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:03,893
Was not the mighty Oenomaus
307
00:19:04,018 --> 00:19:05,979
birthed from such darkness?
308
00:19:06,521 --> 00:19:09,607
Was not the Bringer of Rain
condemned to hardened purpose
309
00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:10,859
within these very bowels?
310
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:13,611
Singular fucking men,
their reflection unlikely
311
00:19:13,778 --> 00:19:16,030
to be glimpsed among
the chattel displayed.
312
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:25,206
What business compels
visit to Stygian depths
313
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,207
if they so offend?
314
00:19:26,374 --> 00:19:28,209
I would break words with Anubis,
315
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:30,420
former overseer of the pits.
316
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:33,256
Anubis?
Towards what purpose?
317
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:35,758
Rumor holds that
he has a bounty of grain
318
00:19:35,925 --> 00:19:38,428
much in need by the house
of my employer.
319
00:19:38,553 --> 00:19:41,431
I fear you have been
led astray by errant tongue.
320
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:43,892
I had dealings with Anubis
only this morning
321
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:47,103
and can assure that grain
not among his current holdings.
322
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:49,647
Well, then I am sent
upon a fool's errand.
323
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:50,982
Only foolish,
324
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:53,735
if you return to the Syrian
empty-handed.
325
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:57,572
A true friend would see them
filled to overflowing.
326
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,074
You hold grain?
327
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:01,784
- To excess.
- At what cost?
328
00:20:01,951 --> 00:20:04,037
Only honored presence,
329
00:20:04,621 --> 00:20:07,290
honeyed by wine
and engaging discourse,
330
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:10,752
far from the noxious scent
of unwashed patrons.
331
00:20:12,337 --> 00:20:13,630
Then I am your man.
332
00:20:14,172 --> 00:20:17,133
As I stand yours
upon the moment.
333
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:35,151
Ah...
334
00:20:36,277 --> 00:20:37,153
Thoughts wander afield,
335
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,489
and loving daughter
steals advantage.
336
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:41,866
Hand moves as it was
taught upon loving knee.
337
00:20:42,033 --> 00:20:43,785
I give invitation
338
00:20:43,952 --> 00:20:44,953
for you to join me in the city
339
00:20:45,078 --> 00:20:47,497
to find you playing games
with your father.
340
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:52,043
She prefers training of mind
to clucking of hens.
341
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,464
More years are yet required
to best you.
342
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:57,799
I concede contest.
343
00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:00,134
You but humor an old man
to believe himself
344
00:21:00,301 --> 00:21:01,552
master of strategy.
345
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:03,596
A thing received
with much gratitude.
346
00:21:03,721 --> 00:21:05,390
I but bow to elevated skill.
347
00:21:05,556 --> 00:21:06,975
It is far too early in the day
348
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:09,644
to yet be dressed
for its end, Viridia.
349
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:11,437
Fall to baths and proper attire
350
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:13,982
befitting daughter
of noble senator.
351
00:21:18,861 --> 00:21:20,530
He's forever held
in highest regard.
352
00:21:20,697 --> 00:21:23,950
Aw. As he eternally holds
beloved daughter.
353
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:33,501
You coddle her
in obstruction of needed return
354
00:21:33,668 --> 00:21:34,794
to the world of men.
355
00:21:34,961 --> 00:21:37,755
She recovers herself
from loss of cherished husband
356
00:21:37,922 --> 00:21:39,090
at measured gait.
357
00:21:39,257 --> 00:21:41,634
Sharp words to spur action
will but harden resistance.
358
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:44,095
Then aid me
in seeing it soften.
359
00:21:44,512 --> 00:21:47,348
Reality of unmarried daughter
elicits whispers.
360
00:21:47,515 --> 00:21:49,726
I would not have name sullied
by wagging tongues.
361
00:21:49,892 --> 00:21:52,186
Such as
the ones you wasted hours with
362
00:21:52,353 --> 00:21:53,646
this very day?
363
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:56,649
I did not deem you concerned by
the clucking of fucking hens.
364
00:21:57,483 --> 00:22:00,403
Let ill temper
fall to faded memory
365
00:22:00,862 --> 00:22:02,530
and common ground regained.
366
00:22:09,037 --> 00:22:12,498
Much desired,
as is the breaking of words
367
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:16,002
towards the impending games
you so generously host.
368
00:22:16,127 --> 00:22:17,003
What of them?
369
00:22:17,170 --> 00:22:18,546
They present
much needed opportunity
370
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:22,091
to reintroduce Viridia after
long absence in public eye.
371
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:24,677
You well know her feelings
towards the games
372
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:26,429
and the gladiators
who play them.
373
00:22:26,596 --> 00:22:28,181
Feelings can be molded,
374
00:22:28,931 --> 00:22:31,059
especially if reformed...
375
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:32,894
by loving hands.
376
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:37,065
Oh. Countenance
did noticeably brighten
377
00:22:37,231 --> 00:22:39,567
when bestowing gratitude
upon the Syrian
378
00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:42,070
in aiding the downfall
of the rebel Spartacus.
379
00:22:42,195 --> 00:22:43,196
Fucking Syrian.
380
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:47,200
He stands serpent,
grinning with human teeth.
381
00:22:47,617 --> 00:22:49,243
He is a creature
not to be trusted.
382
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:52,497
Trust is as water transforming
to vapor or ice
383
00:22:52,622 --> 00:22:53,790
upon varying conditions.
384
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:55,041
You speak in knotted riddles.
385
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:56,542
Then let us untangle mystery.
386
00:22:56,709 --> 00:22:59,170
Why do you think I invited him
to break meal?
387
00:22:59,295 --> 00:23:00,755
Your machinations elude.
388
00:23:00,922 --> 00:23:03,007
To gauge the man
towards usefulness
389
00:23:03,174 --> 00:23:05,093
in rising conflict
between Pompey
390
00:23:05,259 --> 00:23:07,095
and the Syrian's patron,
Crassus.
391
00:23:07,261 --> 00:23:08,805
And how is such worth measured?
392
00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:11,974
By revealing desire
towards presenting motion
393
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:13,101
in the Senate,
394
00:23:13,935 --> 00:23:16,813
to see Pompey unmoored
from the gates of Rome,
395
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:18,064
in pursuit of the Cilician shits
396
00:23:18,231 --> 00:23:19,857
plaguing the waters
of the Republic.
397
00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:23,361
You take the fucking Syrian
into confidence?
398
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:27,740
A false one,
unbeknownst to the man himself.
399
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:28,866
You test him.
400
00:23:28,991 --> 00:23:30,785
If knowledge imparted
finds way to Crassus,
401
00:23:30,952 --> 00:23:33,704
then we shall know the Syrian's
loyalty holds firm.
402
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:35,414
And if the cur holds tongue?
403
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:39,585
Then he may be of use to more...
agreeable master,
404
00:23:40,044 --> 00:23:42,255
and perhaps maneuvered
to aid in brokering peace
405
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,674
between Pompey and Crassus,
averting civil war.
406
00:23:44,841 --> 00:23:46,843
Truly believe
that the Syrian holds sway
407
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:49,011
over the will of
Marcus fucking Crassus?
408
00:23:49,137 --> 00:23:50,388
Even a crude lever
409
00:23:50,555 --> 00:23:53,307
can displace the largest of
stones when put to proper use.
410
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:54,725
The only use for such a man
411
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:56,561
is to see worms
to ravenous meal.
412
00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:59,147
Does he not stand
Dominus of his own ludus
413
00:23:59,313 --> 00:24:00,314
once claimed by Batiatus?
414
00:24:00,481 --> 00:24:02,525
Favor granted
by Crassus himself.
415
00:24:02,692 --> 00:24:04,026
His fucking house is buttressed
416
00:24:04,193 --> 00:24:05,987
upon back of his
Doctore Korris.
417
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:09,490
Absent him, the Syrian
would fall to deserved ruin.
418
00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:11,659
True. As many before,
419
00:24:11,826 --> 00:24:13,953
the Syrian stands upon
shoulders of his betters.
420
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,123
And seeks to gain further
purchase beyond reason.
421
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:20,376
As all
of base position dream.
422
00:24:21,127 --> 00:24:23,337
Why do you think they come
to those of us higher born,
423
00:24:23,504 --> 00:24:25,381
seeking the borrowing of coin?
424
00:24:25,548 --> 00:24:27,049
The loaning of it
a loathsome thing,
425
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:28,593
and your brother never
should have moved you
426
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:30,011
toward such base venture.
427
00:24:30,178 --> 00:24:32,680
Let us not gather
Servius into argument,
428
00:24:32,847 --> 00:24:36,851
nor turn from fact that
interest paid on 'base venture'
429
00:24:37,018 --> 00:24:39,312
offsets costs of fineries
430
00:24:39,979 --> 00:24:41,564
you so enjoy.
431
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:44,317
We stray from point.
432
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:50,198
I hold suspicion you shall
navigate us back round to it.
433
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:52,742
Do you not glean desire
simmering in the eyes
434
00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:55,036
of the Syrian when lighted upon
our daughter?
435
00:24:55,203 --> 00:24:58,289
Is it a wonder?
She is of a form,
436
00:24:59,123 --> 00:25:00,333
as her mother so stands.
437
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,501
You flatter when you
should be rising towards anger.
438
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:06,589
And you anger when you should
descend towards quietude.
439
00:25:07,048 --> 00:25:08,758
Now, attend to Viridia,
440
00:25:08,883 --> 00:25:11,510
and place thoughts of
the Syrian from mind.
441
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:13,846
Words difficult to embrace. He--
442
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:16,015
I will hear no more of it!
443
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:20,770
If he proves of no value,
444
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:23,522
he shall surely manufacture
his own demise.
445
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:26,943
Draw comfort from such,
and let that be an end of it.
446
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:42,041
- Leave it!
- Yes, Dominus.
447
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,212
Assessment holds true.
Achillia yet proves unable
448
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:48,464
to shatter chains
tethering ascension,
449
00:25:48,965 --> 00:25:51,717
and with it, the rise of
this fucking house!
450
00:25:53,261 --> 00:25:54,804
The Nubian sours mood,
451
00:25:54,971 --> 00:25:57,556
a thing keenly felt
since her arrival.
452
00:25:58,224 --> 00:26:00,351
Untamed oxen
break countless yokes
453
00:26:00,768 --> 00:26:03,312
until they learn to walk
where strong hand leads.
454
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:07,024
Am I to be a farmer then,
plowing fields of shit?
455
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:08,025
Apologies, Dominus.
456
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:09,277
I-I did not mean to speak
out of turn.
457
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:11,320
Achillia presents annoyance
458
00:26:11,487 --> 00:26:13,781
absent benefit of
beast of burden.
459
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:15,783
Perhaps you should reconsider
460
00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:18,744
staking future in
imagined abilities.
461
00:26:20,288 --> 00:26:23,541
What words broken
led belief I sought your counsel
462
00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:25,418
towards fucking resolution?
463
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,086
I only
seek to protect--
464
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:29,422
You do not stand fucking wife,
465
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:30,840
nor I husband
466
00:26:31,007 --> 00:26:33,342
in need of fucking concern!
467
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:38,806
Apologies.
468
00:26:40,308 --> 00:26:41,809
I overstep.
469
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:01,454
What fresh shit
pours into open mouth?
470
00:27:01,579 --> 00:27:02,872
Fall to fucking position.
471
00:27:02,997 --> 00:27:04,915
Fuck position!
472
00:27:05,041 --> 00:27:09,086
I will not work palus
beside fucking woman!
473
00:27:09,253 --> 00:27:11,505
A blessing to be
so removed from distraction
474
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:12,882
of lesser presence.
475
00:27:14,925 --> 00:27:18,012
Put tongue
to proper use...
476
00:27:18,596 --> 00:27:20,598
and lick fucking cock!
477
00:27:20,765 --> 00:27:22,058
Fall to command, you mad fuck!
478
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,061
Dominus watches.
479
00:27:25,186 --> 00:27:27,021
Hold ground, Erato!
480
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:29,732
Calm your mind.
481
00:27:31,942 --> 00:27:34,445
Tarchon, Erato!
Fall to fucking position!
482
00:28:04,392 --> 00:28:06,977
Do you know the fucking man
who stands before you?
483
00:28:07,103 --> 00:28:08,729
I am Celadus!
484
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,608
I bested Anthus in
the fucking arena.
485
00:28:12,775 --> 00:28:14,944
Camulus fell to my
486
00:28:15,111 --> 00:28:16,362
fucking sword!
487
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:21,784
As did Magnetius, once champion
of this fucking house.
488
00:28:22,493 --> 00:28:25,079
Now, you shall heed word
and show respect
489
00:28:25,204 --> 00:28:26,705
for this fucking ludus,
490
00:28:26,872 --> 00:28:29,291
or see your blood
on the fucking ground!
491
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,170
Embrace warning.
492
00:28:34,422 --> 00:28:38,551
Witness feats accomplished
when mind is set to purpose.
493
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:41,429
Aspire to such...
494
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:46,350
and one day, you may also
recount grand tales...
495
00:28:47,059 --> 00:28:48,561
of faded glory.
496
00:29:09,707 --> 00:29:10,833
Apologies.
497
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:14,545
Message has been
delivered for Dominus.
498
00:29:15,713 --> 00:29:17,131
Give it here.
499
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:27,600
Shall I fetch him?
500
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:29,518
No.
501
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:33,314
'Tis a matter beneath
his attention.
502
00:29:33,481 --> 00:29:36,150
I will deal with it directly
in his name.
503
00:29:37,151 --> 00:29:37,985
Domina.
504
00:29:55,127 --> 00:29:58,923
He views you
as a common slave.
505
00:29:59,089 --> 00:30:00,382
I stand a free man,
506
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:02,676
receiving coin
for service rendered.
507
00:30:02,843 --> 00:30:06,013
And what amount
graced palm for removing
508
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:08,933
decaying vestiges of
cherished brothers upon cross?
509
00:30:09,475 --> 00:30:11,018
Did you wrest such knowledge
of our labors
510
00:30:11,185 --> 00:30:13,229
from that shit Proculus?
511
00:30:14,271 --> 00:30:16,941
Men of brute strength
may wrest such truths
512
00:30:17,107 --> 00:30:18,442
from unwilling mouths,
513
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:22,988
yet, lacking such
stirring form as yours...
514
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,115
I must rely upon other skills.
515
00:30:25,282 --> 00:30:27,493
I would be privy to
which skill one so slight
516
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:29,245
could muster in aid
of such endeavor.
517
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:32,331
Oh, there are many
who have been persuaded
518
00:30:32,498 --> 00:30:35,042
by the lilting tone
of my voice, yet...
519
00:30:36,669 --> 00:30:37,962
I favor listening.
520
00:30:39,004 --> 00:30:43,050
Arrogant tongues often reveal
secrets that fall to advantage.
521
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:46,971
There are many paths to victory
absent force of arms,
522
00:30:47,388 --> 00:30:49,473
to those with
a mind to pursue them.
523
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:52,268
You exhibit rare insight,
524
00:30:52,768 --> 00:30:54,770
even for storied Doctore.
525
00:30:55,771 --> 00:30:58,315
It stands wounding shame
that the Syrian fails
526
00:30:58,482 --> 00:31:01,652
to place respect where it is
so lavishly deserved.
527
00:31:02,403 --> 00:31:05,322
Hm. A thing I would never allow
beneath my roof.
528
00:31:07,032 --> 00:31:08,117
You broach offer?
529
00:31:08,284 --> 00:31:11,120
I merely make observation
530
00:31:11,287 --> 00:31:14,999
in advance of...
future possibilities.
531
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:19,253
I fear they are bleak
towards house blemished
532
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:21,755
by constant defeat in the games.
533
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,133
It's true.
534
00:31:24,592 --> 00:31:25,968
Losses mount.
535
00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:28,679
Yet, unlike the Syrian,
536
00:31:28,846 --> 00:31:30,848
my house holds position
537
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:32,391
in the arena.
538
00:31:33,267 --> 00:31:37,021
Imagine heights achieved if
drunken excuse training my men
539
00:31:37,187 --> 00:31:39,356
were to be eclipsed by a more...
540
00:31:40,149 --> 00:31:41,942
radiant sun.
541
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:44,528
You place blame
for failure outward
542
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:45,946
towards your Doctore?
543
00:31:46,113 --> 00:31:48,407
I place it where it is
firmly deserved.
544
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:51,619
Present Doctore has
the mind of clotted earth.
545
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:55,664
Men grounded by dull wit
seldom grasp the heavens.
546
00:31:55,789 --> 00:31:57,583
And only a fool
leaps from a cliff
547
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:00,711
expecting wings to sprout
as if by miracle.
548
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:04,632
And how might a hawk
ever know he possesses such
549
00:32:04,757 --> 00:32:07,551
when confined to
restrictive cage?
550
00:32:09,845 --> 00:32:12,931
How high could such a bird soar?
551
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:15,768
Far above the walls of a ludus,
552
00:32:17,478 --> 00:32:21,899
borne aloft by the
turbulent winds of opportunity.
553
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:27,488
You are not
what expectation conjured.
554
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:32,076
Well, I stand honored
in the exceeding of it.
555
00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:52,304
Achillia!
556
00:32:56,558 --> 00:32:57,851
Fall to position.
557
00:32:58,435 --> 00:32:59,853
Let us divine
if sober reflection
558
00:33:00,020 --> 00:33:01,605
birthed desired result.
559
00:33:01,772 --> 00:33:03,148
Dominus.
560
00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:04,316
Begin.
561
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:11,657
Dominus' words
were ill-spoken against you.
562
00:33:12,241 --> 00:33:13,992
Yet he broached no lies.
563
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:18,163
Even hard truth
may be honeyed with gentle tone.
564
00:33:18,539 --> 00:33:20,082
Such was deserved.
565
00:33:21,375 --> 00:33:23,168
I do not stand wife...
566
00:33:24,753 --> 00:33:26,505
nor should assume such position.
567
00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:31,719
Nor should I see you
so aggrieved by love withheld.
568
00:33:34,888 --> 00:33:37,015
Presence warms heart
beyond words.
569
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:46,650
I would warm more than heart...
if so allowed.
570
00:33:51,822 --> 00:33:53,949
Sentiment is well received.
571
00:33:54,992 --> 00:33:56,869
I have long desired
to hear those words
572
00:33:56,994 --> 00:33:58,620
fall from ripened lips.
573
00:34:02,416 --> 00:34:05,711
Messia,
I hold you dearest friend.
574
00:34:08,005 --> 00:34:08,714
Friend?
575
00:34:08,881 --> 00:34:10,382
There is no more truer word
576
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:12,509
for those who care
for each other.
577
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:20,809
Then let us stand as such
578
00:34:21,393 --> 00:34:24,271
and condemn errant musings
to forgotten memory.
579
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:38,243
Perhaps the gods
will bless us this day
580
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:41,413
and they will kill each other.
581
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:47,920
Good.
582
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,922
Use nimble body of a woman
to advantage
583
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,632
against more lumbering opponent.
584
00:34:58,263 --> 00:35:00,390
Yet do not fall
to overconfidence.
585
00:35:04,311 --> 00:35:08,190
A mistake you may
never rise from in the arena.
586
00:35:31,547 --> 00:35:33,674
I ask again,
587
00:35:33,841 --> 00:35:35,926
why do you fail?
588
00:35:54,027 --> 00:35:54,695
Fail.
589
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:10,794
Fail!
590
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,448
Why...
591
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:41,450
do you...
592
00:36:41,617 --> 00:36:43,493
fail?
593
00:36:53,295 --> 00:36:55,464
Because I stand unworthy!
594
00:36:55,631 --> 00:36:57,507
My duty forsaken!
595
00:36:57,633 --> 00:36:59,009
And the memory
596
00:36:59,176 --> 00:37:01,053
shackles fucking mind!
597
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:19,738
The weight you carry,
598
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:22,908
memories from the land
you hail from,
599
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:26,703
of love, family,
triumph and tragedy.
600
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:30,791
It is of no interest for
the eyes upon you in the arena.
601
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:32,626
The past,
602
00:37:32,793 --> 00:37:35,212
stands not who we are.
603
00:37:36,171 --> 00:37:39,424
The present is what
holds meaning.
604
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:43,971
The promise of tomorrow.
605
00:38:01,863 --> 00:38:03,323
Resume training.
606
00:38:05,367 --> 00:38:06,535
And seize fate,
607
00:38:06,952 --> 00:38:09,371
as champion of this
fucking house.
608
00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:49,036
How gauge you my form
against Achillia?
609
00:38:49,161 --> 00:38:50,704
You stood as colossus, Dominus.
610
00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:52,497
Question was not posed to you.
611
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:54,791
Yet words are plucked
from my thoughts.
612
00:38:55,959 --> 00:38:57,669
You stood as described,
613
00:38:58,587 --> 00:39:01,590
unequalled by man,
nor undeserving woman.
614
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:06,053
I will not have reply
from slave to Dominus...
615
00:39:10,682 --> 00:39:12,100
but from Hilara
616
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:13,769
to Ashur.
617
00:39:24,905 --> 00:39:26,656
I hold deep regret...
618
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,828
that eyes never witnessed you
upon sands of the arena.
619
00:39:36,208 --> 00:39:38,168
Had they been upon me...
620
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:42,923
I would have risen to champion.
621
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:47,469
You forever stand as such
622
00:39:49,513 --> 00:39:51,598
to those who hold you to heart.
623
00:40:13,286 --> 00:40:16,790
I would fall to bath
to erase day's labor.
624
00:40:16,957 --> 00:40:18,834
I would have you
as you are,
625
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:21,795
a god among men.
626
00:41:26,067 --> 00:41:27,569
Fetch wine.
627
00:41:28,528 --> 00:41:30,363
Wait to be summoned.
628
00:41:54,429 --> 00:41:56,431
You find offered distraction
lacking?
629
00:41:56,598 --> 00:41:59,309
Passion fails to rise
towards early contest.
630
00:41:59,476 --> 00:42:02,646
Blood stirs with unveiling
of the primus.
631
00:42:02,812 --> 00:42:03,605
Hm.
632
00:42:04,022 --> 00:42:07,150
Then let us not delay
anticipated arrival.
633
00:42:25,835 --> 00:42:27,212
You present such diversion
634
00:42:27,379 --> 00:42:30,799
to all who call upon you?
635
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:35,220
Such titillation pleases the
elite of both Capua and Rome,
636
00:42:35,804 --> 00:42:37,764
knowledge embraced by
the previous Dominus
637
00:42:37,931 --> 00:42:39,432
of the Syrian's own house.
638
00:42:41,184 --> 00:42:43,395
I am yet astounded
639
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,855
that women of position
lower themselves
640
00:42:46,022 --> 00:42:47,774
to such base entertainment.
641
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,652
Their appetites
far exceed those
642
00:42:50,819 --> 00:42:52,112
of languid husbands.
643
00:42:52,279 --> 00:42:54,948
You would marvel at those
who have crossed threshold
644
00:42:55,115 --> 00:42:56,283
in such pursuits.
645
00:42:56,825 --> 00:42:59,286
Surely none of esteem
within city walls.
646
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:02,163
No less than the wife
of the aedile himself.
647
00:43:02,330 --> 00:43:05,000
Horatia?
648
00:43:07,043 --> 00:43:08,586
And what of her friends?
649
00:43:09,045 --> 00:43:11,006
Modesta? No.
650
00:43:11,172 --> 00:43:14,843
I fear she lacks courage
to propel desire.
651
00:43:14,968 --> 00:43:17,304
But the honored wife of
good Gabinius, however,
652
00:43:17,470 --> 00:43:19,931
stands opposite in all regards.
653
00:43:20,056 --> 00:43:21,599
Cossutia?
654
00:43:23,768 --> 00:43:25,520
The woman's disposition
cuts sharper
655
00:43:25,687 --> 00:43:27,188
than well-honed blade.
656
00:43:28,398 --> 00:43:31,943
How did you fall to
such prickly acquaintance?
657
00:43:32,777 --> 00:43:36,239
As with...
many women of a certain age,
658
00:43:36,406 --> 00:43:38,867
she craves days forever lost
659
00:43:38,992 --> 00:43:42,162
and attention faded
by passing years.
660
00:43:43,330 --> 00:43:46,750
Praise and gentle words
dull even the sharpest edge.
661
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:49,127
The Syrian possesses
no such insight
662
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,046
that would sway nobles
to his cause.
663
00:43:51,212 --> 00:43:54,591
He does lack
a certain art of tongue,
664
00:43:55,717 --> 00:43:58,678
causing those of position
to shun his presence.
665
00:43:59,387 --> 00:44:00,555
A thing of no concern
666
00:44:00,722 --> 00:44:04,184
if you labored beneath
a more appreciative lanista.
667
00:44:10,065 --> 00:44:12,025
I have lingered beyond reason.
668
00:44:12,734 --> 00:44:14,110
You spoke of grain.
669
00:44:14,736 --> 00:44:16,905
I shall see you well satisfied
670
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:21,076
to be delivered upon break
of day when storm has passed.
671
00:44:23,411 --> 00:44:24,704
Gratitude.
672
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:28,166
I should fall from presence...
673
00:44:29,209 --> 00:44:32,379
while- while I still
remain upright.
674
00:44:33,838 --> 00:44:36,883
What wonders could be presented
in the hopes of basking
675
00:44:37,050 --> 00:44:40,970
in such glorious light
on a more permanent basis?
676
00:44:43,807 --> 00:44:46,476
- Evidence.
- Towards?
677
00:44:47,143 --> 00:44:48,937
I would see my men
in deserved position
678
00:44:49,104 --> 00:44:52,482
in the impending games
of the Ludi Apollinares.
679
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:56,611
You wish me to secure purchase
680
00:44:56,736 --> 00:44:58,488
for the house where
you stand dishonored
681
00:44:58,655 --> 00:45:01,950
while elevating the Syrian
at my own expense?
682
00:45:02,117 --> 00:45:04,911
I trained those men,
not the fucking Syrian.
683
00:45:05,662 --> 00:45:07,622
They stand but reflection
of my worth.
684
00:45:07,789 --> 00:45:11,126
Victory in the arena swells
esteem and conveys advantage
685
00:45:11,292 --> 00:45:14,671
towards next who would
embrace me as Doctore.
686
00:45:15,213 --> 00:45:19,259
And if gentle breeze
lights upon receptive ear
687
00:45:19,426 --> 00:45:21,094
in service of desire?
688
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:30,103
Then perhaps we shall
share wine and words once more.
689
00:46:08,391 --> 00:46:09,851
Apologies.
690
00:46:17,025 --> 00:46:18,318
Coin or blood?
691
00:46:23,072 --> 00:46:23,823
Blood, then.
692
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:33,124
Fuck ya, bastard!
693
00:47:37,564 --> 00:47:39,649
How's your fucking honor now?
694
00:47:41,150 --> 00:47:43,486
Fides, you fucking cunt!
695
00:47:43,611 --> 00:47:45,989
Spare life! I beg you!
696
00:47:46,155 --> 00:47:47,615
I'm not in a forgiving mood.
697
00:47:47,782 --> 00:47:49,534
Wrath falls
upon mistaken form!
698
00:47:49,701 --> 00:47:51,869
It is not my hand
that moves against you!
699
00:47:52,036 --> 00:47:54,080
Who set you to fuckin' task, eh?
700
00:48:00,545 --> 00:48:02,005
Fides!
701
00:48:43,755 --> 00:48:45,798
The past stands not who I am.
702
00:48:48,968 --> 00:48:52,430
The past stands not who I am.
703
00:48:54,474 --> 00:48:56,643
The past stands not who I am.
704
00:49:08,071 --> 00:49:09,864
Achillia.
705
00:49:10,031 --> 00:49:11,157
You are summoned.
706
00:49:23,127 --> 00:49:25,254
There are those
among you, I am told,
707
00:49:25,380 --> 00:49:27,715
who take issue with
latest acquisition
708
00:49:28,466 --> 00:49:32,095
and hold she does not stand
among the brotherhood.
709
00:49:33,054 --> 00:49:36,557
Let us put such concerns
to fucking grass.
710
00:49:37,392 --> 00:49:38,685
Dominus.
711
00:49:39,686 --> 00:49:42,605
Apologies, but she has not yet
been tested upon bridge,
712
00:49:42,772 --> 00:49:44,315
as each of us has.
713
00:49:49,654 --> 00:49:52,532
Have you ever drawn blood
from your Doctore?
714
00:49:53,449 --> 00:49:54,325
Hmm?
715
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:57,704
Have any
of you fucking cunts?
716
00:49:59,872 --> 00:50:00,998
Speak now
717
00:50:01,165 --> 00:50:02,917
and dispel ignorance.
718
00:50:05,169 --> 00:50:08,381
Achillia need prove herself
worthy of the mark to but one
719
00:50:08,548 --> 00:50:10,258
in this house, and I...
720
00:50:10,967 --> 00:50:13,636
stand well fucking satisfied.
721
00:50:16,931 --> 00:50:18,349
Kneel.
722
00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:30,319
Set mind towards
glorious fuckin' purpose
723
00:50:30,486 --> 00:50:32,947
in honor of
the House of Ashur...
724
00:50:33,656 --> 00:50:36,367
and receive
sacramentum gladiatorum.
725
00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:39,287
Echo my words.
726
00:50:40,079 --> 00:50:44,417
I commit my flesh, my mind, my
will to the glory of this ludus
727
00:50:44,584 --> 00:50:47,420
and the commands of my Dominus.
728
00:50:47,837 --> 00:50:51,883
I commit my flesh,
my mind, my will...
729
00:50:52,508 --> 00:50:54,886
to the glory of this ludus...
730
00:50:55,928 --> 00:50:57,346
and the commands of my Dominus.
731
00:50:57,513 --> 00:51:00,308
I swear to be burned,
chained, beaten
732
00:51:00,475 --> 00:51:04,645
or die by the sword in the
pursuit of honor in the arena.
733
00:51:06,105 --> 00:51:09,484
I swear to be burned, chained,
734
00:51:09,650 --> 00:51:10,818
beaten,
735
00:51:11,861 --> 00:51:13,905
or die by the sword...
736
00:51:14,947 --> 00:51:18,493
in the pursuit of honor
in the arena.
737
00:51:20,620 --> 00:51:22,455
Oath has been spoken.
738
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,891
She now stands
among the brotherhood.
739
00:51:42,266 --> 00:51:45,520
Let this hold end of
fucking disagreement.
740
00:51:48,731 --> 00:51:50,107
Doctore!
741
00:51:53,236 --> 00:51:56,030
That shit Proculus
moves against us?
742
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:58,157
The villain Fides
is known to be his man
743
00:51:58,324 --> 00:52:00,159
upon necessity and occasion.
744
00:52:00,326 --> 00:52:02,453
And you ripped
confession out of him?
745
00:52:02,620 --> 00:52:05,706
No, he slipped from grasp-
746
00:52:05,873 --> 00:52:08,292
Attend with
more considerate touch
747
00:52:08,876 --> 00:52:11,420
or see wound afflicted
upon own flesh!
748
00:52:13,381 --> 00:52:14,507
I yet live,
749
00:52:14,674 --> 00:52:16,968
and all that follows I hold
to be a fucking blessing.
750
00:52:17,385 --> 00:52:19,470
Lifts heart to hear it so.
751
00:52:22,306 --> 00:52:23,391
What of your task?
752
00:52:23,558 --> 00:52:25,810
Were you able to secure
what I've asked of you?
753
00:52:26,310 --> 00:52:28,020
I broke words and wine
with Opiter
754
00:52:28,187 --> 00:52:30,773
and gained his confidence
as instructed.
755
00:52:30,940 --> 00:52:32,984
And he suspected nothing
of your chance encounter
756
00:52:33,150 --> 00:52:34,402
at the pits he often frequents?
757
00:52:34,569 --> 00:52:36,320
He believes
I was sent upon errand
758
00:52:36,445 --> 00:52:38,698
to secure grain from Anubis.
759
00:52:40,575 --> 00:52:42,451
And how did you leave the man?
760
00:52:43,202 --> 00:52:46,539
Swelled with hope
of me becoming his Doctore,
761
00:52:47,039 --> 00:52:49,375
if he moves Cossutia
towards our inclusion
762
00:52:49,542 --> 00:52:50,751
in her husband's games.
763
00:52:51,419 --> 00:52:53,754
You prove yourself
beyond measure.
764
00:52:54,463 --> 00:52:57,383
Rest and see health restored.
765
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:02,513
And what of Proculus?
766
00:53:06,225 --> 00:53:09,270
We shall repay blood
with fucking blood
767
00:53:10,021 --> 00:53:12,940
upon time and place
of our choosing.
768
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:30,041
I am in need of a fucking
medicus.
769
00:53:35,421 --> 00:53:36,881
It is done?
770
00:53:37,924 --> 00:53:38,841
Korris yet lives,
771
00:53:38,966 --> 00:53:41,260
though grievously
fucking injured.
772
00:53:41,761 --> 00:53:44,931
See debt owed to your husband
stricken from ledger
773
00:53:45,097 --> 00:53:48,309
as agreed upon in reply to
today's message,
774
00:53:48,476 --> 00:53:49,685
and I shall redouble-
775
00:53:52,104 --> 00:53:54,899
Consider ledger balanced.
