1
00:00:16,225 --> 00:00:18,310
The goddess of death
rises again.

2
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:20,396
Upon wings of your instruction.

3
00:00:20,563 --> 00:00:22,356
[grunts, snarls]

4
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:24,400
Achillia honors this house

5
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:26,402
in fucking Primus!

6
00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:28,362
[cheering]

7
00:00:28,529 --> 00:00:29,739
- [grunts]
- [screams]

8
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:30,905
[Ashur] Can she fight?

9
00:00:30,906 --> 00:00:32,158
[Korris] By end of month.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,617
Who stands above
all others beyond Achillia?

11
00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:35,995
[Korris] There is but one.

12
00:00:35,996 --> 00:00:37,620
Caesar maneuvers Pompey

13
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:39,915
towards alignment with
himself and Crassus.

14
00:00:39,916 --> 00:00:41,374
If they form triumvirate,

15
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:45,129
republic and all within
will fall to severest concern.

16
00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:47,380
I have been asked to consider
marriage to Pompey.

17
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:50,134
He but marries towards
power and position.

18
00:00:50,301 --> 00:00:52,845
- What man does not?
- The one before you.

19
00:00:54,263 --> 00:00:55,723
My goddess.

20
00:00:56,474 --> 00:00:58,309
I see how her eyes
fall upon you.

21
00:00:58,476 --> 00:00:59,526
And yours upon her.

22
00:00:59,527 --> 00:01:01,269
And you would deny me
the same comfort

23
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,604
that you seek with your whore?

24
00:01:02,605 --> 00:01:04,482
And call me son no more.

25
00:01:04,483 --> 00:01:05,648
You are the past.

26
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:06,483
[crowd roars]

27
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:07,525
I forge my own future.

28
00:01:07,526 --> 00:01:09,361
[screams triumphantly]

29
00:01:09,362 --> 00:01:10,528
[distorted scream echoes]

30
00:01:10,529 --> 00:01:12,865
[agonized scream echoes]

31
00:01:16,786 --> 00:01:19,246
[blades ring, blood splatters]

32
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,458
[rapid percussive music,

33
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:25,461

[heavy gates clatter]

37
00:01:42,895 --> 00:01:45,481
[Latin singing continues]

38
00:01:45,648 --> 00:01:47,858
[men sing in Latin]

39
00:02:04,625 --> 00:02:06,836
[song in Latin swells]

40
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:13,133
[Ashur]
It stands grievous loss

41
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,344
if such thing were
allowed to happen.

42
00:02:15,345 --> 00:02:17,053
Gabinius would not be offering

43
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:18,638
his fucking daughter
to Pompey

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,806
if you had not interfered

45
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,850
in proposed coupling
with Quintus Thermus.

46
00:02:21,851 --> 00:02:23,661
Viridia is to be married
to Pompey?

47
00:02:23,727 --> 00:02:26,105
Remove yourself. Both of you.

48
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:27,439
Go!

49
00:02:30,818 --> 00:02:32,403
You have undone everything

50
00:02:32,404 --> 00:02:34,863
Crassus and my noble husband
have worked towards.

51
00:02:34,864 --> 00:02:36,906
There must stand a way
to stop this.

52
00:02:38,242 --> 00:02:40,536
Is it marriage to Pompey
that so moves you

53
00:02:41,203 --> 00:02:43,493
or thought of Viridia
in the arms of another?

54
00:02:43,956 --> 00:02:46,166
You stray from pressing concern.

55
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:47,835
As you stray from reason,

56
00:02:48,002 --> 00:02:50,838
harboring desire towards one
far beyond your station.

57
00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:53,340
My desires do not change fact.

58
00:02:53,341 --> 00:02:55,425
If Pompey is allowed
to marry Viridia,

59
00:02:55,426 --> 00:02:58,178
he will forever be
aligned with Gabinius

60
00:02:58,345 --> 00:03:00,055
and have his ear
in the Senate,

61
00:03:00,222 --> 00:03:01,682
swaying them to his will

62
00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:05,311
against Crassus
and your noble fucking husband.

63
00:03:05,477 --> 00:03:08,772
I shall send message to Caesar
informing him of your failure.

64
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:13,027
I suggest you mirror fucking
effort in alerting Crassus.

65
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:16,113
[tense, discordant music]

66
00:03:17,406 --> 00:03:18,824
[sighs heavily]

67
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:22,286
[melancholy string music]

68
00:03:22,287 --> 00:03:23,411
[Tarchon]
I broke words with him

69
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:24,922
before he faced
the Scythian.

70
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,083
They were not kind.

71
00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:34,840
There has never been father and
son who have not shared such.

72
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:39,136
I would that I had fallen

73
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,263
in the arena in his place.

74
00:03:41,764 --> 00:03:44,016
[somber string music]

75
00:03:47,311 --> 00:03:48,478
He would not wish it so.

76
00:03:49,438 --> 00:03:52,858
Words broken in anger can never
erase his love for you.

77
00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:58,572
What is to be done with him?

78
00:03:59,615 --> 00:04:01,992
He will be washed
and wrapped in shroud,

79
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:04,495
then taken to funeral pyre.

80
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:05,746
[exhales sharply]

81
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:07,790
[inhales]

82
00:04:10,125 --> 00:04:12,628
I would see him cleansed
by my hands alone.

83
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:14,171
So shall it be.

84
00:04:16,507 --> 00:04:17,675
Doctore?

85
00:04:18,801 --> 00:04:21,095
[soft, melancholy music]

86
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:23,847
How do you move beyond it?

87
00:04:25,307 --> 00:04:27,267
By keeping close
those who remain.

88
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,650
[exhales sharply]

89
00:04:34,817 --> 00:04:37,486
[melancholy music continues]

90
00:04:38,779 --> 00:04:40,656
[sobs softly]

91
00:04:40,823 --> 00:04:43,534
[sniffles]

92
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:54,044
[sobs hoarsely]

93
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,965
- Who claimed his fucking life?
- A Scythian.

94
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:00,634
She does not carry a name.

95
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:02,469
Celadus fell to a woman?

96
00:05:02,636 --> 00:05:05,180
I stand unsure the creature
could be called such.

97
00:05:06,432 --> 00:05:09,082
If I had not fallen to
altercation and injured hand,

98
00:05:09,083 --> 00:05:11,436
she would be called towards
fucking afterlife!

99
00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:13,188
Such outcome far from certain.

100
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:16,907
The Scythian takes form unlike
any I've ever laid eyes upon.

101
00:05:17,026 --> 00:05:18,646
The bitch could stand colossus,

102
00:05:18,647 --> 00:05:20,278
and I would yet see
scales balanced

103
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,697
for what she's taken from me.

104
00:05:21,864 --> 00:05:23,032
From you?

105
00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:26,035
The boy has lost his father.

106
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:29,830
And I the only man in this
fucking house I called friend.

107
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:33,167
Balm coming days with purpose
towards forging more.

108
00:05:33,332 --> 00:05:35,082
I must see him.
[breathes shakily]

109
00:05:36,503 --> 00:05:39,715
Tarchon prepares his father
for funeral rites.

110
00:05:39,716 --> 00:05:42,258
I am denied opportunity
to break farewells?

111
00:05:42,259 --> 00:05:44,803
Words last shared
must hold for such.

112
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:47,097
We spoke of his son,

113
00:05:48,265 --> 00:05:50,642
and rift formed between them
because of me.

114
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:55,105
Disagreement seldom thrives
but within single heart.

115
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:59,026
I moved to find resolution,
for Celadus...

116
00:06:00,569 --> 00:06:02,071
yet failed in attempt.

117
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,156
[breathes shakily]

118
00:06:04,323 --> 00:06:05,949
Tarchon yet lives.

119
00:06:07,743 --> 00:06:09,453
Honor his father's memory

120
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:14,750
and see conflicts
of the past abandoned.

121
00:06:14,917 --> 00:06:17,711

I am your father, Tarchon,

128
00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:55,957
you are my son.

129
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:58,001
I would see you

130
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,712
rise above all others.

[Ashur] Once again,

135
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:33,745
we feel the bitter sting
of loss.

136
00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:37,875
Warm embrace, so cherished,

137
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:40,752
torn from us too soon.

138
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:44,131
Yet let's move beyond
the swell of sorrow

139
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,717
and fix eyes upon days ahead,

140
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:48,510
shadowed

141
00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:50,596

00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,075
And wishes to break
fucking words with you.

188
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:19,453
[foreboding music]

189
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:25,334
[inhales]

190
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:29,338
[somber music]

191
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:42,434
[gasps, sighs]

192
00:10:43,727 --> 00:10:45,771
Has there ever stood
such a vision?

193
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:49,232
I do not feel as such.

194
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:53,153
No woman truly ever sees herself
as the world does.

195
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,204
Yet...

196
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:58,700
gaze upon your reflection
in eyes of loving mother,

197
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,452
and know

198
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:02,913
it is so.

199
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,083
Leave us.

200
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:09,795
This belonged to
your grandmother.

201
00:11:09,961 --> 00:11:14,341
Would that she yet drew breath
to see you so elevated.

202
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,260
Tell me of him.

203
00:11:17,636 --> 00:11:19,179
- Pompey?
- Mm.

204
00:11:19,805 --> 00:11:21,014
[inhales deeply]

205
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:22,307
You are...

206
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:24,483
well versed

207
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,269
in military victories

208
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:30,982
and laurels showered upon him,
as all Romans are.

209
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,779
Legend presents cold company.

210
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,908
I would know of the man.

211
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:51,586
He is disarming
of smile and attitude,

212
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:55,048
yet oft,

213
00:11:55,632 --> 00:11:56,716
upon occasion,

214
00:11:56,883 --> 00:11:58,468
distant and...

215
00:11:59,636 --> 00:12:00,686
cold.

216
00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:02,472
As all men veer

217
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:04,433
upon time and mood.

218
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:06,643
Father does not stand so.

219
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:07,936
[chuckles]

220
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:09,771
Opinion of your father

221
00:12:09,938 --> 00:12:13,275
was formed through lens
of beloved child.

222
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:15,527
Unclouded vision of wife

223
00:12:15,528 --> 00:12:16,986
beholds

224
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:18,697
all facets of...

225
00:12:21,491 --> 00:12:23,660
complicated relationship.

226
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:26,663
Your words do not carry
original passion

227
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:28,457
towards marriage to Pompey.

228
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,417
They but caution reality.

229
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:35,755
Place thoughts of love aside
and fix mind firmly upon benefit

230
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:38,425
and protection
such union provides.

231
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:40,385
Protection?

232
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:44,097
What imagined threat
requires such?

233
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:51,730
All men pass from this life,
and when regretful day arrives,

234
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:55,066
and your father succumbs
to sad tradition,

235
00:12:56,318 --> 00:12:59,196
we must be secure in knowledge
that you are protected

236
00:12:59,362 --> 00:13:01,865
from those who would
see you toward...

237
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,951
disadvantage.

238
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:06,877
You

239
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,247
speak of Uncle Servius?

240
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:15,295
He looms but one of many

241
00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:18,340
to hold towards concern.

242
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:22,093
[exhales deeply]

243
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:25,938
Then union

244
00:13:26,056 --> 00:13:28,391
not only serves republic,

245
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:31,770
but honored mother

246
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:33,730
and daughter as well.

247
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,441
It is you

248
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,486
who honor me.

249
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,406
Cease leisured chatter and
let us move towards egress.

250
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:47,244
I would not have Pompey
standing idle upon arrival.

251
00:13:48,119 --> 00:13:51,206
[inhales, exhales]

252
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:53,124
[exhales shakily]

253
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:54,960
I am ready.

254
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:58,713
[solemn percussive music]

255
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:03,260
[lively flute and drum music
plays]

256
00:14:03,426 --> 00:14:04,476
[crowd cheers]

257
00:14:04,553 --> 00:14:06,972
[buccinators blow fanfare]

258
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:11,226
[shouting, cheering]

259
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:13,603
[fanfare continues]

260
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:17,232
[dramatic music]

261
00:14:17,233 --> 00:14:18,607
[indistinct conversation]

262
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:22,195
The storm of shit
you have conjured arrives.

263
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:27,367
[bucinators blow triumphantly]

264
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:31,663
[cheering]

265
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:36,084
[imperious orchestral music]

266
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:43,633
[woman giggles]

267
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:47,220
[horse whinnies]

268
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:49,681
[imperious music swells]

269
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:56,938
[girls exclaim, call out]

270
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:59,357
You've been too long
from my arms.

271
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:01,192
As I from yours.

272
00:15:02,444 --> 00:15:05,155
[exclamations, giggling]

273
00:15:05,322 --> 00:15:07,824
I would my husband
had fallen to Spartacus

274
00:15:08,199 --> 00:15:09,701
and stood I intended bride.

275
00:15:09,868 --> 00:15:14,914
Such a man is wasted upon
a woman of slight experience.

276
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:16,750
Consul.

277
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:21,129
Capua stands in amazement to at
last host such exalted company.

278
00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:23,005
Apologies for delayed
arrival, Senator.

279
00:15:23,006 --> 00:15:25,050
Caesar and I have had
much to discuss.

280
00:15:25,216 --> 00:15:27,677
Oh, pleasure delayed
is but pleasure enhanced.

281
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:29,262
You recall beloved wife,

282
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:31,640
and... daughter.

283
00:15:32,682 --> 00:15:34,476
Seared into memory.

284
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:38,730
When last I laid eyes,
you were but a child.

285
00:15:40,023 --> 00:15:41,441
How you have blossomed.

286
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:44,201
You flatter.

287
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:47,447
- He but states the obvious.
- [laughs]

288
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:48,664
Just so.

289
00:15:49,658 --> 00:15:52,202
And is this the Syrian, Gaius?

290
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:54,788
Who stands Crassus' man
in Capua?

291
00:15:54,913 --> 00:15:56,790
In all his glory.

292
00:15:57,832 --> 00:15:59,793
I am humbled in your presence,
Consul.

293
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:03,505
Gaius has been regaling me
with stories of your Nubian.

294
00:16:04,047 --> 00:16:06,758
I would set aside quarrel
with patron Crassus

295
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:10,303
and witness spectacle
for myself. [laughs]

296
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,806
Let us retire to
the Syrian's villa,

297
00:16:12,807 --> 00:16:14,014
see desires satisfied.

298
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:15,684
I shall rejoin directly,

299
00:16:15,685 --> 00:16:17,935
yet first would break further
word with good Gabinius

300
00:16:17,936 --> 00:16:19,604
regarding proposed union

301
00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:21,189
to fairest daughter.

302
00:16:21,190 --> 00:16:23,899
[Gabinius] My villa
stands as your own.

303
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:26,970
Let us remove ourselves from
midday sun to take refreshment.

304
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:29,864
[Pompey] And plot divine
future benefiting all.

305
00:16:30,907 --> 00:16:32,742
Smile, you fucking shit,

306
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:35,870
or I'll have your life
where you stand.

307
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:38,373
[horse whinnies]

308
00:16:38,374 --> 00:16:39,581
[dramatic string music]

309
00:16:39,582 --> 00:16:41,000
[door opens]

310
00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:44,503
I fall from presence
for briefest moment

311
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:47,132
and return to find piss
in place of wine.

312
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:48,758
- Apologies, I-
- [snarls]

313
00:16:48,925 --> 00:16:51,845
You yet draw breath by grace
of Crassus' patronage.

314
00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:54,222
Absent such,
those foolish enough

315
00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:55,439
to hold you to heart

316
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,934
would be mourning
fucking loss.

317
00:16:58,351 --> 00:17:00,687
Did I not warn against
laying trust in him?

318
00:17:00,688 --> 00:17:02,730
Men such as this
always believe

319
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:04,606
they can maneuver
beyond their betters.

320
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:05,649
[cries out]

321
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:07,068
[coughs]

322
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:09,194
Apologies.

323
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:12,156
I hold deepest regret for
my misjudgment of the past.

324
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:16,453
Yet I would look towards horizon
and solution to current dilemma.

325
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:19,268
The toad would sprout wings
and become soaring dove.

326
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:21,259
The gods perform
such miracles daily...

327
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:23,083
- [chuckles]
- ...and have blessed the Syrian

328
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:24,919
towards exalted purpose.

329
00:17:25,086 --> 00:17:26,706
You have thoughts on the matter?

330
00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:28,135
Solidified towards action.

331
00:17:28,136 --> 00:17:30,257
I have consulted Crassus
via messenger,

332
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:32,552
and we are in agreement
of path forward.

333
00:17:33,303 --> 00:17:35,722
Illuminate, so Ashur may
swiftly trod upon it.

334
00:17:35,723 --> 00:17:37,723
If Gabinius no longer
stood senator,

335
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,714
Pompey's interest
would quickly wane.

336
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,812
You intend to remove Gabinius
from the Senate?

337
00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:46,775
No. I intend to remove
him from fucking life.

338
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,270
You would send
the old fool to grass?

339
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:51,196
How will hands
remain clean of deed?

340
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:54,032
By task falling
to another's.

341
00:17:56,618 --> 00:17:58,495
[ominous, discordant music]

342
00:17:58,661 --> 00:18:00,497
No.
[breathes heavily]

343
00:18:00,663 --> 00:18:02,499
[exhales]

344
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,586
Viridia places her father above

345
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:08,463
all others.

346
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:10,974
There must be another way.

347
00:18:10,975 --> 00:18:12,674
Then produce
fucking alternative.

348
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:13,968
I...

349
00:18:18,389 --> 00:18:19,516
I cannot do this.

350
00:18:19,682 --> 00:18:21,768
If union moves forward,

351
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:24,229
Crassus shall
withdraw patronage.

352
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:28,858
And in wake of such,
you shall stand exposed, Syrian.

353
00:18:28,859 --> 00:18:31,151
Yet see matter
to fateful conclusion,

354
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:33,987
and he has expressed willingness
to entertain your plea

355
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:37,992
to rebuild the arena destroyed
by Spartacus and his rebels,

356
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:39,869
granting you control of it

357
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:43,289
and of all games within Capua.

358
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,293
He has promised this?

359
00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:49,219
He has.

360
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:53,383
You stand a free man, Syrian,

361
00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:58,137
carrying such responsibility
such agency affords.

362
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,599
The choice is yours.

363
00:19:04,727 --> 00:19:06,938
[tense music surges]

364
00:19:06,939 --> 00:19:08,772
[blade rings]

365
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:09,731
[counters click]

366
00:19:09,732 --> 00:19:11,985
[bell tolls]

367
00:19:13,403 --> 00:19:16,865
[Pompey] Message carrying offer
of marriage was most unexpected.

368
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:20,535
Did it find favor?

369
00:19:20,536 --> 00:19:25,664
It is a difficult thing to turn
mind towards marital bliss

370
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:28,334
when other pressing interests
weigh upon mind.

371
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:32,171
Such are the burdens
of a consul of the Republic.

372
00:19:32,589 --> 00:19:34,340
As Crassus also stands.

373
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:36,801
You are but mirrors
towards one another,

374
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:40,889
equal in reflecting highest
position among the Senate.

375
00:19:41,055 --> 00:19:43,057
You would place us upon level?

376
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:46,436
I would but see tensions eased,

377
00:19:46,603 --> 00:19:49,731
and feet moved towards
common ground.

378
00:19:50,064 --> 00:19:51,274
As would I.

379
00:19:52,525 --> 00:19:55,820
Yet we stand unfortunately
opposed within the Senate-

380
00:19:55,821 --> 00:19:58,530
Crassus towards tax policies
to fill his coffers,

381
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:01,301
and I towards more honorable
pursuit of seeing my men,

382
00:20:01,326 --> 00:20:03,453
so vital in the defeat
of Spartacus,

383
00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:07,790
to proper reward of land and
coin commensurate with effort.

384
00:20:10,251 --> 00:20:14,505
There may yet be revealed
path forward, however narrow.

385
00:20:18,051 --> 00:20:20,261
Let us thread
needle of possibility.

386
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:24,265
If my voice could move Senate
towards your desires,

387
00:20:24,432 --> 00:20:29,562
then perhaps yours could lend
support to those of Crassus.

388
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:32,781
Perhaps.

389
00:20:32,782 --> 00:20:34,483
Such an agreement
would first need to see

390
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:38,112
respective armies dissolved
outside the gates of Rome,

391
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:40,281
a contingent from both
dispatched

392
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:43,159
to at last address
mounting Cilician threat.

393
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:45,954
They have become
rather bothersome.

394
00:20:46,371 --> 00:20:48,498
And I would see them
all nailed upon cross

395
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:51,042
for offence against
beleaguered citizens-

396
00:20:51,209 --> 00:20:53,628
those closest to me
among them.

397
00:20:57,215 --> 00:20:59,926
Tell me of your daughter.

398
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:03,680
Your eyes have beheld
her beauty, have they not?

399
00:21:04,347 --> 00:21:08,685
Gloriously so. Yet I inquire
towards the mind of the woman.

400
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:10,770
She is of keen intellect,

401
00:21:11,521 --> 00:21:13,982
holding knowledge
towards literature,

402
00:21:14,399 --> 00:21:17,235
uh, rhetoric,
logic, the histories,

403
00:21:17,402 --> 00:21:19,529
languages,
Greek being of second nature.

404
00:21:19,696 --> 00:21:21,698
You misunderstand the question.

405
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:25,743
How bends her mind
towards will of husband?

406
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:28,079
[foreboding music]

407
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:38,214
She grasps meaning
of the word

408
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:39,924
duty...

409
00:21:39,925 --> 00:21:41,883
[inhales sharply]

410
00:21:41,884 --> 00:21:44,095
[counter clicks]

411
00:21:44,846 --> 00:21:47,098
[uneasy music]

412
00:21:47,682 --> 00:21:49,684
...and all it implies.

413
00:21:50,852 --> 00:21:52,145
Hmm.

414
00:21:53,938 --> 00:21:55,523
[counter clicks]

415
00:21:59,861 --> 00:22:02,572
I fear you have lost the game...

416
00:22:04,824 --> 00:22:07,160
[poignant string music]

417
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,747
...yet gained
vaunted son-in-law.

418
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:14,751
News to lift heart.

419
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:21,090
Yet know it beats with the love
of a father towards only child-

420
00:22:21,716 --> 00:22:23,342
one I would see happy

421
00:22:23,926 --> 00:22:25,470
and cared for,

422
00:22:26,554 --> 00:22:29,015
given all courtesy and respect

423
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:30,725
imagined.

424
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,854
To the glory of the republic.

425
00:22:35,938 --> 00:22:37,231
Ah. Apologies.

426
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:39,859
We do not mean to
interrupt your game.

427
00:22:40,026 --> 00:22:43,613
Ah, game has reached
satisfactory conclusion.

428
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,407
[poignant music]

429
00:22:46,532 --> 00:22:48,534
Bless the gods, daughter.

430
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:50,495
You are to be wed.

431
00:22:51,913 --> 00:22:56,250
- [chuckles] What wondrous news!
- [Pompey laughs]

432
00:22:58,002 --> 00:22:59,052
Indeed.

433
00:22:59,053 --> 00:23:02,339
I look forward to
consummation of the union

434
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:05,301
between our families,
dearest Viridia.

435
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:07,394
Hmm.

436
00:23:08,137 --> 00:23:10,181
I could never have
dreamed of...

437
00:23:10,598 --> 00:23:11,849
such a day.

438
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:13,893
[chuckles lightly]

439
00:23:14,977 --> 00:23:16,854
[sombre string music]

440
00:23:17,021 --> 00:23:18,856
[wind howls]

441
00:23:19,023 --> 00:23:21,234
[owl hoots]

442
00:23:22,944 --> 00:23:25,404
[iron door rattles, opens]

443
00:23:28,955 --> 00:23:31,076
[whispers] Achillia...

444
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:33,204
[eerie music]

445
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:42,255
Why do eyes fucking linger?

446
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,930
I...

447
00:23:44,048 --> 00:23:45,858
Apologies.
For a moment, I thought-

448
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:48,335
I give no shit towards
turning of your thoughts.

449
00:23:49,554 --> 00:23:51,664
You claim your father's cell
as your own?

450
00:23:51,681 --> 00:23:53,224
As is my fucking right,

451
00:23:53,225 --> 00:23:54,850
as son.

452
00:23:54,851 --> 00:23:56,351
He would not have wished this-

453
00:23:56,686 --> 00:23:59,438
you and I, standing in
constant opposition.

454
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:01,415
Then relinquish
title of champion

455
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,025
and see disagreement fade.

456
00:24:03,192 --> 00:24:06,612
This is all that consumes you?
Even now?

457
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:08,580
Glory in the arena?

458
00:24:08,656 --> 00:24:10,116
I am but consumed

459
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,535
with seeing my father avenged,

460
00:24:12,536 --> 00:24:14,202
to stand upon the sands
of fucking Primus

461
00:24:14,203 --> 00:24:16,793
and claim life of the Scythian
that took him from me.

462
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:19,876
Such revenge
does not belong to you.

463
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:23,337
I am the champion
of this house.

464
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:27,341
Mantle seized
absent proper contest...

465
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:29,927
against the man before you.

466
00:24:30,052 --> 00:24:31,470
[scoffs]

467
00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:33,222
I see but a boy.

468
00:24:33,598 --> 00:24:35,433
[Korris]
Achillia. Tarchon.

469
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:37,977
Pompey arrives.
Fall to formation,

470
00:24:38,352 --> 00:24:40,855
and see passions quelled.

471
00:24:41,022 --> 00:24:43,566
[dramatic, rumbling music]

472
00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:47,904
[dramatic percussive music]

473
00:24:53,701 --> 00:24:55,369
[Pompey]
This is where it began.

474
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:58,873
Spartacus and his rebellion
that so threatened the republic.

475
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,540
The mad fucks claimed the life

476
00:25:00,583 --> 00:25:02,543
of the former dominus
of this house.

477
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,587
As well as many
prominent Romans.

478
00:25:04,754 --> 00:25:07,340
And yet the Syrian survived.

479
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:09,937
I was not yet among
those of privilege.

480
00:25:10,051 --> 00:25:11,101
[Pompey] Yes.

481
00:25:11,102 --> 00:25:13,595
The gladiator slave who
turned against his own,

482
00:25:13,596 --> 00:25:15,848
raising question anew-

483
00:25:17,558 --> 00:25:18,935
how did you survive?

484
00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:20,770
By fortitude and wit.

485
00:25:21,687 --> 00:25:23,940
Honed by years
among the Brotherhood.

486
00:25:24,106 --> 00:25:25,942
From humble beginnings

487
00:25:26,108 --> 00:25:27,276
to humble present.

488
00:25:27,443 --> 00:25:28,523
[Cornelia chuckles]

489
00:25:28,653 --> 00:25:30,823
Let us not gauge a man's worth
by faded past

490
00:25:30,947 --> 00:25:33,699
but of vaunted offerings
of the here and now.

491
00:25:34,242 --> 00:25:35,493
Let it be so.

492
00:25:36,118 --> 00:25:38,287
Achillia! Present yourself.

493
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:41,666
[dramatic percussive music]

494
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,381
She stands of a form,
as promised.

495
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:50,883
Savage barely survived
contest in the arena.

496
00:25:50,884 --> 00:25:53,093
Yet survive she did,
and stood victorious

497
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:55,388
against opponent of
greater size and skill.

498
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:58,307
I would weigh merit
with eyes my own.

499
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:01,435
Whatever the consul desires,
Ashur provides.

500
00:26:02,061 --> 00:26:04,605
Choose among my men
who shall face her.

501
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:08,609
All stand titan, and shall
provide thrilling adversary.

502
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:11,112
What of that one?

503
00:26:17,451 --> 00:26:19,120
Apologies, Consul.

504
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,706
This man offers
little challenge.

505
00:26:22,623 --> 00:26:24,433
I would present you
with spectacle

506
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:26,919
more worthy of storied name.

507
00:26:27,086 --> 00:26:28,254
[Cornelia] A savage,

508
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:30,006
as so indicated.

509
00:26:30,007 --> 00:26:33,174
I shall see her to discipline
for speaking beyond her station.

510
00:26:33,175 --> 00:26:34,427
Doctore!

511
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:36,053
[Pompey] Hold.

512
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:39,807
She is but bold of purpose,

513
00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:41,892
a thing to be admired.

514
00:26:42,143 --> 00:26:44,729
[tense string music]

515
00:26:44,895 --> 00:26:46,647
Let us entertain request.

516
00:26:47,398 --> 00:26:50,151
Who would you choose
to honor me, champion?

517
00:26:51,485 --> 00:26:52,570
Tarchon,

518
00:26:53,112 --> 00:26:54,655
son of Celadus.

519
00:26:56,198 --> 00:26:58,576
[tense percussive music]

520
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:03,539
The son of Celadus
gladly accepts.

521
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,173
[Ashur] Doctore,

522
00:27:05,174 --> 00:27:07,292
see practice weapons
to their hands.

523
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:10,171
Practice?
Is this not proper contest?

524
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:13,132
Your will, Consul.

525
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:14,550
Doctore,

526
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:17,303
see wood give way to steel.

527
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:19,055
[laughs]

528
00:27:19,221 --> 00:27:21,098
Dacus, attend!

529
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:22,350
Come.

530
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:35,029
She adopts style
dissimilar to one

531
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:36,905
during the games
of the Ludi Apollinares.

532
00:27:36,906 --> 00:27:39,909
Circumstance of injury
requires shift in strategy.

533
00:27:40,076 --> 00:27:41,911
Are we to prattle
until sun breaks?

534
00:27:42,078 --> 00:27:44,038
They but ready themself, Consul.

535
00:27:44,205 --> 00:27:46,135
Upon the moment,
you shall have blood.

536
00:27:47,458 --> 00:27:49,001
Present entertainment,

537
00:27:49,168 --> 00:27:51,879
yet slip not towards
fatal conflict.

538
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:55,424
[low, tense music]

539
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:01,013
[percussive music]

540
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,392
Let this decide who is truly
deserving of fucking title.

541
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:05,608
Gratitude...

542
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:06,894
[blade swishes]

543
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:09,230
...for opportunity
to see you fall.

544
00:28:09,807 --> 00:28:11,898
Begin!

545
00:28:11,899 --> 00:28:14,151
- [Achillia grunts]
- [snarls]

546
00:28:14,318 --> 00:28:16,529
[Tarchon grunts]

547
00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:18,405
[yells]

548
00:28:18,406 --> 00:28:19,657
[screams]

549
00:28:19,782 --> 00:28:21,534
- [metal swishes]
- [screams]

550
00:28:21,659 --> 00:28:23,411
Your Nubian does not disappoint.

551
00:28:23,412 --> 00:28:25,328
- [grunting]

Returned in kind.

Splendid.

565
00:28:50,438 --> 00:28:51,605

[harsh, discordant music]

He has proven
worthy opponent, Consul,

587
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:51,790
as was his father.

588
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:55,628
I would see him

589
00:29:56,921 --> 00:29:58,923
- live.
- Achillia.

590
00:30:00,382 --> 00:30:02,510
I am of a buoyant mood,

raised aloft by my
impending nuptials.

592
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:06,931

You have had your

598

and yet live
because of debt owed

599
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,114

As Venus Victrix

603
00:30:32,248 --> 00:30:34,250
earthed in flesh,

604
00:30:35,626 --> 00:30:37,253

perhaps

608
00:30:45,135 --> 00:30:47,012
better suited towards more...

[Korris] Attend.

613
00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:00,901
Have her bathed and sent to me.

614
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:03,535
[Caesar] Let us take
food and wine, then.

615

Hilara.

619
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:12,037
I would have you linger

620
00:31:13,163 --> 00:31:14,213
and assist

621
00:31:14,290 --> 00:31:16,333
towards urgent matter.

[ominous music]

623
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:20,129
You ask the impossible, Hilara.

624
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:22,298
It is of vital importance
to this house.

625
00:31:22,464 --> 00:31:24,091
You mean to your dominus.

626
00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:27,268
You shall never see feelings
deeply held for him returned,

627
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:29,179
if he is capable of them at all.

628
00:31:29,346 --> 00:31:31,807
I no longer cling to such hopes.

629
00:31:33,183 --> 00:31:34,693
Yet in aiding him
in this act,

630
00:31:34,852 --> 00:31:37,438
it will avert bloodshed and ruin

631
00:31:38,772 --> 00:31:40,566
for all beneath this roof.

632
00:31:43,861 --> 00:31:45,904
I ask you this as friend

633
00:31:47,948 --> 00:31:50,534
who once you embraced
above all others.

[Cornelia] The way he leers

638
00:32:02,421 --> 00:32:03,880
as if considering
the taste of your flesh.

639
00:32:03,881 --> 00:32:05,590
It's not unthinkable
such forbidden meal

640
00:32:05,591 --> 00:32:06,967
has parted the man's lips.

641
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:09,595
[tense music]

642
00:32:09,762 --> 00:32:12,389
Why do you stand as doe
faced with hunter's arrow?

643
00:32:12,556 --> 00:32:13,606
Apologies. I...

644
00:32:13,766 --> 00:32:16,176
[Cornelia] Busy yourself
with drawing of bath.

645
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,318
The Syrian may forgive
indolent hands,

646
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,857
yet those of a Roman's body
slave must never fall to such.

647
00:32:22,232 --> 00:32:23,651
I shall see it done.

648
00:32:28,489 --> 00:32:29,907
You favor the girl.

649
00:32:30,658 --> 00:32:33,285
She has proven adequate
morsel upon your absence.

650
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:34,502
Hmm.

651
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:38,332
And now that loving husband
has returned?

652
00:32:38,499 --> 00:32:40,959
Thoughts turn towards more...

653
00:32:41,126 --> 00:32:42,878
substantial feast.

[discordant string music]

658
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:57,267
I am to lay with Pompey?

659
00:32:57,434 --> 00:32:59,604
It is a thing often
requested of champions.

660
00:32:59,605 --> 00:33:01,187
Spartacus,
Gannicus before him,

661
00:33:01,188 --> 00:33:04,316
both commanded towards same,
and fell to compliance.

662
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:06,534
Yet...

663
00:33:07,194 --> 00:33:09,863
if you do as I instruct,
absent discovery,

664
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:12,282
Pompey will be unable
to lay hand upon you,

665
00:33:12,449 --> 00:33:15,536
nor shall cock ever
straighten towards offence.

666
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:18,414
If such is your will.

667
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:20,582
I do not wish it so.

668
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:23,585
Yet I stand bereft
of fucking option.

669
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:24,920
Dominus.

[intriguing string music]

671
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:32,001
Were you able to acquire
what I've asked of you?

672
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:34,847
Messia has seen to it.

673
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:38,058
Then perhaps the gods
not fuck us this day.

[tense string music]

675
00:33:41,061 --> 00:33:42,980
See message dispatched,

676
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:47,234
then Achillia
to honored fucking guest.

677
00:33:47,235 --> 00:33:49,277
Go.

[liquid pours]

680
00:33:52,573 --> 00:33:56,702
The boy you fought, why did you
petition for his life?

681
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:01,832
It was not his life
that held concern.

682
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:04,960
I knew his father

683
00:34:05,836 --> 00:34:07,004
before he fell.

684
00:34:08,297 --> 00:34:10,466
He was one of the Syrian's men?

685
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:13,469
He stood champion of this house

686
00:34:14,511 --> 00:34:16,054
for but a moment.

687
00:34:17,848 --> 00:34:20,726
Well, interest lies
in current owner of title.

688
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:23,228
So tell me,

689
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:27,565
how did you find yourself
guest of our fair republic?

690
00:34:29,150 --> 00:34:31,737
Through circumstances
of misfortune,

691
00:34:32,946 --> 00:34:34,656
as most who find themselves so.

692
00:34:35,491 --> 00:34:38,659
Hmm. Generalities are the
comfort of lesser intellect.

693
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:43,040
I would seize upon
more revealing detail.

694
00:34:47,335 --> 00:34:49,170
I was sold to the Romans.

695
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:53,007
Mm, it's an occurrence
not uncommon.

696
00:34:53,175 --> 00:34:56,011
It was by hand
of my own father.

697
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:58,472
[sombre string music]

Ah.

Details revealed.

701
00:35:08,982 --> 00:35:10,032
Did he hate you so,

702
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:12,361
to condemn you to slavery
in a foreign land?

703
00:35:13,487 --> 00:35:16,156
His love for me
was beyond measure.

704
00:35:17,825 --> 00:35:19,785
And yet here you stand.

705
00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:22,996
[poignant string music]

706
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:28,460
Errant spear
took the life of royal.

707
00:35:31,588 --> 00:35:33,298
One I was sworn to protect.

708
00:35:34,258 --> 00:35:36,426
Now we come to the meat of it.

709
00:35:36,593 --> 00:35:40,055
Such a thing is punishable
by death in my kingdom.

710
00:35:40,597 --> 00:35:42,182
Giving me to the Romans

711
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:44,101
was a mercy,

712
00:35:45,394 --> 00:35:47,771
in his eyes.

713
00:35:54,528 --> 00:35:55,946
I would have more wine.

714
00:35:56,572 --> 00:35:57,906
As would I.

[slow string and
percussive music]

716
00:36:04,621 --> 00:36:08,709
You move with a grace beyond
those of abject station.

717
00:36:10,752 --> 00:36:11,920
Gratitude.

718
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:16,008
It was not meant as compliment.
Merely observation.

719
00:36:17,551 --> 00:36:19,761
- Gratitude remains...
- [pours liquid]

720

[poignant music continues]

722
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,987
I must confess,

723
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:40,240
I've never had a Nubian.

724
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:44,328
Nor I a consul of Rome.

725
00:36:46,914 --> 00:36:49,750
Had not promise to cherish
the daughter of Gabinius

726
00:36:49,875 --> 00:36:52,085
been sworn but hours past,

727
00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:58,383
we would see such
mutual failing rectified.

728
00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:59,760
[chuckles]

729
00:37:00,344 --> 00:37:01,678
A pity, then.

00:37:25,327 --> 00:37:27,245
When do they stand otherwise?

737
00:37:28,198 --> 00:37:30,289
[thunder rumbles]

738
00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:31,583
I would keep from edge.

739
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:34,994
Cliff has been known to
claim the unsuspecting.

740
00:37:34,995 --> 00:37:36,963
[distant waves crash,
wind howls]

741
00:37:36,964 --> 00:37:39,840
Then why has wall never been
rebuilt to prevent calamity?

742
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:41,718
Some things defy repair,

743
00:37:42,260 --> 00:37:44,304
in spite of will
to hold otherwise.

744
00:37:45,847 --> 00:37:48,308
[melancholy string music]

745
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:53,605
He comes to me.

746
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:57,192
In my dreams.

747
00:37:59,152 --> 00:38:01,446
As it often is with
those we have lost.

748
00:38:04,741 --> 00:38:06,576
I make attempt to call to him...

749
00:38:08,704 --> 00:38:10,831
yet tongue becomes as stone.

750
00:38:13,834 --> 00:38:15,502
Does he speak to you?

751
00:38:16,837 --> 00:38:18,463
[poignant string music]

752
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:19,923
He does...

753
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:24,052
yet I cannot hear him.

754
00:38:26,847 --> 00:38:29,317
I would give all to break
words with him once more.

755
00:38:32,227 --> 00:38:33,395
As you shall,

756
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:35,230
upon a day.

757
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:37,983
As I shall with Opiter,

758
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:40,527
when we fall from this world

759
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:42,821
towards welcome
upon distant shore.

760
00:38:43,905 --> 00:38:46,783
[poignant string music swells]

761
00:38:48,243 --> 00:38:50,746
Yet while we remain
of this world,

762
00:38:51,204 --> 00:38:53,749
I would see aid
given Achillia.

763
00:38:54,025 --> 00:38:57,043
She does not fucking require it.

764
00:38:57,044 --> 00:38:59,504
She is but bone and meat
as any other,

765
00:38:59,505 --> 00:39:02,673
and she will face
the freshly-born champion

766
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:05,343
of the House of Proculus
in coming games.

767
00:39:06,803 --> 00:39:09,848
Let us see her
towards vengeance.

768
00:39:10,932 --> 00:39:13,393
[solemn orchestral music]

769
00:39:14,478 --> 00:39:16,229
I would ask to see Elata.

770
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:20,192
You are far removed from
favor with your dominus.

771
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:24,029
Yet I will broach request

772
00:39:24,196 --> 00:39:25,655
upon opportunity.

773
00:39:27,783 --> 00:39:29,743
My father did not care for her.

774
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:35,999
Athena herself would not have
stood worthy of your affections,

775
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:38,043
in his eyes.

776
00:39:39,002 --> 00:39:41,421
[melancholy music swells]

777
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:46,259
[thunder rumbles]

778
00:39:48,845 --> 00:39:50,430
[thunder rumbles]

779
00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:52,973
You have afforded yourself
with measured grace

780
00:39:52,974 --> 00:39:54,935
beyond courtesy of years.

781
00:39:56,728 --> 00:39:59,618
Would that heart swelled
towards that of loving husband

782
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,735
in place of one
presented through necessity.

783
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:08,073
I shall find joy

784
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:11,243
in knowledge that I have
honored my father,

785
00:40:12,953 --> 00:40:14,412
who I hold closest to heart.

786
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:17,374
Oh, do not let your mother
hear you break such words.

787
00:40:17,541 --> 00:40:18,917
[both chuckle]

788
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:20,210
Hmm.

789
00:40:21,169 --> 00:40:22,629
I shall miss our games

790
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:25,385
when I'm no longer
of this house.

791
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:26,508
Oh...

792
00:40:27,050 --> 00:40:28,760
Well, you are yet among us.

793
00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:32,597
Let us embrace each day
by hour and minute.

794
00:40:32,764 --> 00:40:34,094
- [chuckles]
- Set board,

795
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:36,393
- and we shall play.
- [door opens, closes]

796
00:40:37,978 --> 00:40:39,688
Apologies. Dispatch arrives.

797
00:40:39,855 --> 00:40:42,085
Ah, well see it set aside
towards later hour.

798
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:45,652
Apologies once more.
It carries from Pompey himself.

799
00:40:47,070 --> 00:40:48,822
Ah, give it here.

800
00:40:52,492 --> 00:40:54,995
What does future husband convey?

801
00:40:55,162 --> 00:40:56,621
[murmurs]

802
00:40:56,746 --> 00:40:59,583
Hmm. He tarries
at the Syrian's villa

803
00:40:59,584 --> 00:41:02,293
and requests my immediate
fucking presence?

804
00:41:02,294 --> 00:41:06,006
[scoffs] Send reply that
I stand regrettably occupied,

805
00:41:06,173 --> 00:41:09,467
and I shall broach gathering
upon morning light.

806
00:41:09,634 --> 00:41:10,684
Dominus.

807
00:41:11,178 --> 00:41:12,228
Wait.

808
00:41:14,347 --> 00:41:16,766
- Duty towards Republic beckons.
- Oh.

809
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:19,227
I would not see
vital purpose set aside

810
00:41:19,394 --> 00:41:23,565
for pleasure of mere game,
no matter how desired.

811
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,528
Set board,

812
00:41:28,695 --> 00:41:33,200
and I shall return to you as
fleetly as obligation allows.

813
00:41:36,203 --> 00:41:38,371
[gentle music]

814
00:41:39,873 --> 00:41:41,333
[heavy door opens]

815
00:41:41,875 --> 00:41:42,925
[door closes]

816
00:41:42,926 --> 00:41:45,127
- [thunder, horse whinnies]
- [man] Door!

817
00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:46,963
[door rattles, creaks open]

818
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:48,256
[thunder rumbles]

819
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:51,301
Why have I been summoned
as if common slave?

820
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,720
Pompey's mind is his own.

821
00:41:53,887 --> 00:41:56,777
I would not presume to fathom
what thoughts lie within it.

822
00:41:57,224 --> 00:41:59,392
Forever magnanimous
in response.

823
00:41:59,935 --> 00:42:03,230
A thing your perceived betters
could glean instruction from.

824
00:42:03,231 --> 00:42:04,563
I but serve the Republic

825
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:07,025
and those who guide her
through darkest night.

826
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:11,947
There stood a time I received
such humble prostration

827
00:42:12,072 --> 00:42:14,532
as cunning ruse to gain favor.

828
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,495
Yet your embrace
of the necessity of union

829
00:42:18,620 --> 00:42:21,873
between beloved daughter
and the man you lead me towards

830
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:25,543
begs differing conclusion.

831
00:42:26,127 --> 00:42:28,755
I would know of it,
if so inclined.

832
00:42:28,922 --> 00:42:32,717
That you truly place the
republic above personal desire.

833
00:42:33,677 --> 00:42:37,847
Again, a thing your betters
could take lesson from.

834
00:42:39,349 --> 00:42:40,642
You honor me.

835
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:43,311
You honor yourself, Ashur.

836
00:42:44,145 --> 00:42:46,398
[uneasy music]

837
00:42:47,893 --> 00:42:49,984
[thunder rumbles]

838
00:42:49,985 --> 00:42:51,236
You call me by name.

839
00:42:51,987 --> 00:42:53,917
You have earned
such consideration,

840
00:42:54,197 --> 00:42:59,411
navigating treacherous waters
of oft tempestuous acquaintance.

841
00:43:00,245 --> 00:43:02,122
It is of

842
00:43:02,706 --> 00:43:04,040
greatest comfort

843
00:43:04,624 --> 00:43:06,960
to see them calm between us.

844
00:43:07,127 --> 00:43:08,920
Sentiment deeply shared.

845
00:43:11,089 --> 00:43:13,425
If father were yet known to you,

846
00:43:15,635 --> 00:43:17,012
he would stand

847
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:20,640
as proud as the man
you see before you

848
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:26,438
that his son set aside
impossible notions of the heart

849
00:43:27,689 --> 00:43:29,649
and accepted what must be.

850
00:43:30,775 --> 00:43:33,778
Yet, take comfort
in thought that Viridia

851
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,699
considers you fondly.

852
00:43:40,076 --> 00:43:42,037
And I suspect always shall.

853
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:45,498
[breathes shakily]

854
00:43:46,249 --> 00:43:48,209
[poignant string music]

855
00:43:48,376 --> 00:43:50,462
Come. Pompey awaits.

856
00:43:52,589 --> 00:43:53,639
Uh...

857
00:43:53,923 --> 00:43:56,509
night churns beyond reason.

858
00:43:57,761 --> 00:43:58,845
I will make excuse

859
00:43:58,846 --> 00:44:00,971
and see meeting delayed
to more favorable hour.

860
00:44:00,972 --> 00:44:02,806
I'm here now,
upon appointed moment.

861
00:44:02,807 --> 00:44:06,102
Let us to purpose
and see matter concluded.

862
00:44:07,312 --> 00:44:09,606
[foreboding music]

863
00:44:10,815 --> 00:44:13,443
What stands so urgent
that you call upon me to...

864
00:44:13,610 --> 00:44:15,362
[tense musical sting]

865
00:44:15,528 --> 00:44:17,238
What is this fucking shit?

866
00:44:17,405 --> 00:44:19,908
- Dominus, I-
- Remove yourself. Go!

867
00:44:20,617 --> 00:44:21,667
Apologies.

868
00:44:22,077 --> 00:44:25,038
Pompey requested closer
inspection of my champion.

869
00:44:25,163 --> 00:44:26,414
I did not know!

870
00:44:26,581 --> 00:44:30,293
You swear to see my daughter
treated with love and respect,

871
00:44:30,877 --> 00:44:34,547
and within same breath fuck me
as you fuck the Nubian slave?

872
00:44:35,131 --> 00:44:38,093
Gabinius. [grunts]
What has happened?

873
00:44:38,259 --> 00:44:40,970
An end to proposed marriage

874
00:44:41,388 --> 00:44:44,641
and severance of
fucking association.

875
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:47,727
Place cock where whim dictates,

876
00:44:47,894 --> 00:44:51,314
and may disease see
it wither upon vine!

877
00:44:53,066 --> 00:44:54,234
[groans]

878
00:44:54,351 --> 00:44:56,652
Gather yourself, Consul.

879
00:44:56,653 --> 00:44:59,239
I shall attempt to calm
inflamed humors.

880
00:44:59,406 --> 00:45:00,490
[groans]

881
00:45:01,741 --> 00:45:03,034
Gabinius.

882
00:45:03,035 --> 00:45:05,494
What finds you here
at such hour?

883
00:45:05,495 --> 00:45:07,163
And seized by tempestuous mood?

884
00:45:07,330 --> 00:45:10,875
Honored guest
beneath this fucking roof!

885
00:45:10,876 --> 00:45:12,042
Pompey?

886
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:13,210
The man has proved himself

887
00:45:13,211 --> 00:45:15,380
the villain Crassus
has always assumed.

888
00:45:15,547 --> 00:45:16,597
Curse upon me

889
00:45:17,173 --> 00:45:19,342
for not gleaning truth
with eyes my own.

890
00:45:19,509 --> 00:45:21,594
He is nothing more
than arrogant shit

891
00:45:21,761 --> 00:45:23,631
overflowing with
military laurels

892
00:45:23,638 --> 00:45:26,057
in place of spirit
and fucking soul.

893
00:45:26,224 --> 00:45:29,144
Harshest of words
towards a consul of Rome.

894
00:45:29,310 --> 00:45:32,147
Fuck title
and all pretense bestowed.

895
00:45:32,939 --> 00:45:36,609
He but sees himself reflected in
the eyes of everyone he beholds.

896
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:40,405
Senator, I beg of you,
let us give pause and consider-

897
00:45:40,572 --> 00:45:42,407
There stands
nothing to consider,

898
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:46,161
save unfolding years
absent the name Pompey Magnus

899
00:45:46,327 --> 00:45:48,830
ever being conjured
by favorable tongue.

900
00:45:48,997 --> 00:45:52,167
- Let us take wine to quiet the-
- I will not be quelled.

901
00:45:52,333 --> 00:45:54,502
Pompey reforms as enemy to me.

902
00:45:55,211 --> 00:45:57,964
Equal in spiteful intent
of the fucking Cilicians

903
00:45:58,131 --> 00:46:00,216
he fails to bring to justice!

904
00:46:00,633 --> 00:46:02,177
[Pompey] You wound me

905
00:46:02,302 --> 00:46:05,138
[growls] as knife to chest.

906
00:46:05,305 --> 00:46:07,223
What... [grunts, cries out]

907
00:46:07,390 --> 00:46:09,476
[gasps] What cause

908
00:46:09,642 --> 00:46:12,812
have I given towards such wrath?

909
00:46:13,229 --> 00:46:15,482
- What cause?
- [grunts]

910
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:18,193
[echoes]
I bend to requested summons

911
00:46:18,359 --> 00:46:20,820
only to find you entwined
with the Nubian,

912
00:46:20,987 --> 00:46:23,072
and you cry
what fucking cause?

913
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,744
I have no memory of summoning
you or bedding the Nubian.

914
00:46:28,119 --> 00:46:29,412
[laughs]

915
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:32,332
An excess of wine does not
negate grievous insult.

916
00:46:32,499 --> 00:46:35,502
I beg you, we must not
let overripe passions-

917
00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:37,504
To think I ever considered

918
00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:40,798
fucking union towards you
with treasured daughter!

919
00:46:41,174 --> 00:46:42,634
You are beneath her

920
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,928
and shall forever remain so!

921
00:46:45,094 --> 00:46:47,055
- [groans]
- Send word to Crassus.

922
00:46:47,222 --> 00:46:48,473
I would meet to discuss

923
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,726
granting him my full support
in the Senate,

924
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:53,853
to stand in opposition

925
00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:56,314
of the shitfuck Pompey!

926
00:46:56,315 --> 00:46:57,523
[roars]

927
00:46:57,524 --> 00:46:59,204

930
00:47:03,488 --> 00:47:05,365

932
00:47:07,534 --> 00:47:09,160
What have you fucking done?

933
00:47:09,327 --> 00:47:12,247
- Call your medicus!
- I have no fucking medicus!

934
00:47:12,248 --> 00:47:13,205
Consul!

935
00:47:13,206 --> 00:47:14,958
Prepare his horse! Quickly!

936
00:47:16,292 --> 00:47:17,877
I will see to this.
You must flee.

937
00:47:18,044 --> 00:47:19,094
- I- I didn't mean-

938
00:47:19,095 --> 00:47:21,463
Intent tumbles to irrelevance
in eye of Senate.

939
00:47:21,464 --> 00:47:23,341
Come! Let us see you away.

940
00:47:23,466 --> 00:47:25,301

943
00:47:32,183 --> 00:47:34,394
I have underestimated you,
Syrian.

944
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:38,356
You have halted union between
Viridia and Pompey as commanded,

945
00:47:39,774 --> 00:47:42,485
absent blood upon your hands.

946
00:47:44,529 --> 00:47:46,322

[gasps]

950
00:47:55,582 --> 00:47:57,166
[voice breaks] I...

951
00:47:58,167 --> 00:47:59,836
I did not want this.

952

[dramatic music]

953
00:48:02,922 --> 00:48:03,972
You.

- No.
- [thunder rumbles]

957
00:48:08,970 --> 00:48:11,097

- [thunderclap]
- Viridia...

959
00:48:13,851 --> 00:48:14,766
[Ashur gasps]

960
00:48:14,767 --> 00:48:16,477
...will know the...

961
00:48:17,103 --> 00:48:18,980
the man you truly are.

962
00:48:19,105 --> 00:48:20,356
- No.
- She will know!

963
00:48:20,523 --> 00:48:21,899
