1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Your story is a strange one.
I should like to hear it
from your mouth.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,240
You're not a shepherd any more.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,680
Your name is Alexander,
Prince of Troy.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,480
You're making a great mistake.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,880
I see it in his eyes.

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,000
<font color="
so everyone wants a piece.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,680
Welcome to the world, Prince.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,840
The queen sends her apologies.
She won't be down to say goodbye.

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,080
See that it's carefully
loaded onto the ship.

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,840
The gods do not forget.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
<font color="
some viewers may find upsetting

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,440
and graphic violent scenes.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,960
Where is she?
I told you, he's taken her.

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,840
That's not possible!

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,040
I will not be humiliated.

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,840
Get a message to my brother.

17
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Is it true?

18
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,360
<font color="
like his bloody bride.

19
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Where are they?

20
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880
They're resting from the journey.
They're coming to see me later.

21
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:45,920
Is it what I think?

22
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Tell them.

23
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,120
He stole her away in a chest.

24
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,360
<font color="
until we set sail.

25
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720
I tried to persuade him
to return her.

26
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,560
He threatened
to throw me in the sea.

27
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,880
He claims to love her.

28
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,760
How could you not notice
what was going on?

29
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,560
<font color="

30
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,920
I should have foreseen that,

31
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,560
while the King of Sparta
was burying his dead father,

32
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
your new son would try
to sleep with his wife.

33
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Don't you use that tone with us!
We put him in your charge!

34
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,880
<font color="
they've eloped.

35
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,440
He'll have told his brother.

36
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Agamemnon needs no excuse
for a fight.

37
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,240
She must be sent back,
before they do something foolish.

38
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Andromache's right.

39
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,240
Agamemnon will have rallied
<font color="

40
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,880
We can't waste any time.

41
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,640
We'll send a message
that we regret the discourtesy,

42
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000
return Helen,
and send gifts of our own.

43
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,880
Why should I bow to him?

44
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,440
We made this city prosperous
through sweat and blood.

45
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,400
<font color="
And will continue to do so.

46
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Your pride can afford
to take one hit

47
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200
if it's to save the city
from any future harm.

48
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520
She must go back, Priam.

49
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,920
Leave us.

50
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,160
Forgive me, Your Majesty.

00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,760
<font color="
requests an audience.

52
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,440
No, I said later.

53
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800
My lord. My lady.

54
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,240
If my fate is to be decided,
I would like you to hear me first.

55
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,160
You have a nerve, my lady.

56
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,600
I hear...

57
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,440
..my queen,

58
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,640
<font color="
alongside your husband,

59
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,360
that, in this city, man and woman
are equal in respect and power.

60
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,120
I humbly claim that respect now.

61
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,400
I was married at 14 against my will

62
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,240
to a man I had not met
and would never love.

63
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,280
<font color="
have I been happy with Menelaus.

64
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:18,000
I didn't choose him.
I never would have.

65
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,640
I do choose...

66
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,080
..to be with your son.

67
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,640
I'm not a possession.

68
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,400
I'm a woman.

69
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,840
I think, I feel,

70
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,160
<font color="

71
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Agamemnon demands that Odysseus
join him in support of his brother.

72
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,440
I've told you,
our king is distracted. Mm.

73
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Let me see him.
He's not fit to see anyone.

74
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240
BABY CRIES IN DISTANCE

75
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,880
<font color="

76
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,360
My lady! Good to see you again.

77
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,440
You're looking for my husband? Yes.

78
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,560
He and his army are required
to join the war effort against Troy.

79
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,440
I read your letters.

80
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120
The Trojan prince has offended
<font color="

81
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Which is why the whole of Greece
must rebuff him.

82
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,320
A week ago, Odysseus was taken with
a fever which went to his brain.

83
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
I'm sorry to hear that.
He won't talk to me.

84
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240
To any of us. Take me to him.

85
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,560
<font color="

86
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Odysseus! It's Diomedes,
your old friend.

87
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,160
There's no point taking him to war.
What use would he be? Maybe.

88
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,960
Maybe he's as cunning
as he ever was.

89
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,160
Maybe you both are.

90
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,960
<font color="

91
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Odysseus! No!
COW MOOS

92
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Odysseus! Stop!

93
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120
You're not so mad after all.
HE CHUCKLES

94
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Telemachus...

95
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,520
..you're the man of the house now.

96
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,080
Look after your mother
and sister for me. You must.

97
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,360
<font color="

98
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,480
Let's go! Move on!

99
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,360
HORSE WHINNIES
Walk on!

100
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,040
First, welcome home, my son.

101
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,560
Thank you, Father.
You understand, of course,

102
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,440
what has happened between you is
not just a matter of the personal.

103
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960
<font color="
because of who you are.

104
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,200
Father, listen to me...
We sent you, Alexander,

105
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,640
on a mission of diplomacy.

106
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,200
There are voices in favour
of sending the queen back.

107
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
MURMURING

108
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,680
You dare...I'll go with her.

109
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,440
<font color="

110
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Sit down!

111
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Alexander, my love...

112
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,800
..sit down.

113
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,520
You are our son,

114
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,720
and whatever we may feel
on the matter,

115
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,400
we love and defend you.

116
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,800
We will therefore seek an agreement
<font color="

117
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760
We will keep the queen,

118
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320
but send ambassadors
with gifts of Troy

119
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,680
that will more than match those
you have brought from Sparta.

120
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,800
Hopefully, our embassy will arrive

121
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,120
before the Greeks' anger
turns into action.

122
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,200
<font color="
strengthen bonds, not break them.

123
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,840
This won't work.
You must know that the Greeks -

124
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,120
they won't accept gold
as a substitute for a queen.

125
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,840
She is flesh and a symbol.

126
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,960
They'll just throw it back
in your face.

127
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,680
<font color="
of myself and the queen.

128
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,200
In the meantime,
Helen is to be treated as our guest,

129
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,600
and closest friend.

130
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,440
Agamemnon, he's arrived.

131
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,640
You're late.

132
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Your letters failed to reach me.

133
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,240
Tricks of Hermes.

134
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:46,600
<font color="

135
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,640
SOLDIERS CHEER

136
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,680
Tricks of Hermes?
Tricks of Penelope, more like.

137
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,360
Ajax, what do you know about women?
Just stick to fighting and spitting.

138
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,240
THEY CHUCKLE

139
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,320
Who else is here? We all are.

140
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,080
<font color="
as I know you are.

141
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,200
And the best strategist we have.

142
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,160
You don't need me to return a whore
to her marriage bed.

143
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,440
You admire Helen
as much as the rest of us.

144
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,080
I seem to remember
you fought for her hand.

145
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,400
<font color="

146
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,600
And look who won her.

147
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,800
No war should be fought
for such a man.

148
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,920
In stealing Helen, the Trojan prince
insulted all of us.

149
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Not just about the girl,
though, is it, Nestor?

150
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,120
Is that Achilles?

151
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,480
<font color="

152
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Odysseus, let's walk together.

153
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,680
I know we've shared harsh words
in the past.

154
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,040
I'd just like to say...
All forgotten, my lord.

155
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,200
We have one enemy now.

156
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,400
This war won't take long.

157
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,200
We get the queen back....

158
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,760
<font color="

159
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400
The gods will see to it. They must.

160
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,960
Cruel wind.

161
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840
How long has it been
blowing like this?

162
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,080
It's been gusting onshore
since we came.

163
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,880
It'll change. If it doesn't,
<font color="

164
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Did you make offerings
to the goddess?

165
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,600
In the haste of anger,
rituals may have been neglected.

166
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,560
She's offended.
The offence is against us.

167
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,480
The winds WILL change.

168
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Get the priest and the seers.

169
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,440
<font color="
to the goddess.

170
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Now.

171
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,040
Surely Artemis will understand.

172
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Artemis, accept these pledges
of regret for our forgetfulness.

173
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,680
Huntress, abate your anger.

174
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,280
Please, show mercy.

175
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Tell us your will.

176
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,560
<font color="
we will perform.

177
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,440
What happened?

178
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,280
She demands...

179
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speak, man. What is it?

180
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,360
She demands

181
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,400
a sacrifice of a dove,
purer than pure.

182
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640
I tried.
I took a white dove in my hand,

183
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320
<font color="
but she just laughed.

184
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,160
She said,
"That is not the dove I mean."

185
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,520
The dove she wants is human.

186
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Human?

187
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Your daughter.

188
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,040
This will be prevented. Try again.

189
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,920
Brother... Don't say anything.
<font color="

190
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,840
The goddess was clear. Why?

191
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Why demand that?
To kill my own blood - why?

192
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
So you can look a Trojan in the eye
as you break their city

193
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,520
and know that nothing they suffer

194
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,480
can compare
<font color="

195
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,600
What kind of justice is that?
The justice of war, my lord.

196
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Then we won't travel to Troy.
You will have us look like cowards.

197
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,960
Then you give up your child!
Hermione wasn't asked for.

198
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,920
What if I offer myself?
<font color="

199
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,720
Then we lose a leader
and gain nothing.

200
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,480
There is no negotiation, sir.
You know that.

201
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Brother...

202
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,560
..we are running out of time.

203
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,360
We must find the best way...

204
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,680
<font color="
Expedite?! Do you have a heart?

205
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,920
Yes, my lord, but we are here now.

206
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,080
The winds will not change
unless you do.

207
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,600
Your men will not follow a king
the gods have abandoned.

208
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,440
We have tried all other forms
<font color="

209
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,840
Artemis is unmoveable.

210
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,440
Alexander's our son.
My instinct is to defend him,

211
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720
even though he's wrong. Mine, too.

212
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,880
You remember
the first time I saw you?

213
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,080
The spring games at Hattusa.
<font color="

214
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,760
I was spellbound by you in seconds.

215
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,280
Wouldn't you like to be young again?

216
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,560
To have what Alexander's got
in his eyes? That self-belief?

217
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Age mellows us.

218
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,800
But it's supposed to make us wise.

219
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,760
Your daughter will be here soon.

220
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,720
<font color="
That she's coming for her wedding.

221
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,040
Help me.

222
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Get me out of this.

223
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,640
I'm sorry, I don't know how.

224
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,880
Xanthius, make sure
Achilles stays in his tent.

225
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,120
He knows nothing about this.

226
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,200
Going behind
<font color="

227
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,400
He'll love that. Thersites,

228
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,760
if I want your opinion,
I will ask for it.

229
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,080
HE WHISTLES

230
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,600
Why am I marrying now,
just when they're going to war?

231
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,880
Your wedding will bless
<font color="

232
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,600
Anyway, I don't know why
you're moaning.

233
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,800
It's Achilles.
Not exactly a monster.

234
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,800
Will I live with him after?
Yes, of course.

235
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:49,360
What is it?
I don't want to leave you.

236
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,160
<font color="

237
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,120
You're joining Achilles.
It's a very different thing.

238
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,320
And he is handsome.

239
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,000
THEY CHUCKLE

240
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,840
Try these.

241
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,840
What are they? Mulberries.
They give the cheek life.

242
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,280
SHE CHUCKLES
<font color="

243
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Here, let me.

244
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,760
It should look like
it comes out of the face.

245
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,040
Now, it's from he East.

246
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Gold.

247
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,880
SHE CHUCKLES
Here.

248
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Agamemnon, this is wonderful news,
if unexpected.

249
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,440
<font color="

250
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,000
And the warrior is willing? He is.

251
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,360
Iphigenia

252
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,880
Father...

253
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,040
..isn't this a happy day?

254
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,800
Where is he? Achilles is preparing
for the ceremony.

255
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,640
<font color="

256
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,080
The king will take Iphigenia
to the altar.

257
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,120
I will escort you to him.

258
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,920
What do you think?

259
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,040
My husband is not himself.
What's going on, Odysseus?

260
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,360
Has Achilles changed his mind?
No, my lady.

261
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,240
<font color="
apart from the rest, up on the brow.

262
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,080
Then why is everything so rushed?

263
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,840
You know Menelaus
has been humiliated.

264
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,320
There's no time for pause.

265
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,280
This way.

266
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,880
What is this?

267
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,520
THEY LAUGH

268
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,960
<font color="
a marriage altar.

269
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,560
Where are the flowers?

270
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,200
What is it, Father? You look afraid.

271
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,480
The gods - they didn't demand
Iphigenia's marriage.

272
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,240
What do you mean?

273
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240
No no! No!

274
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,960
No! No!

<font color="

276
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,080
The wind blows hard against us.

277
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520
The goddess gave me no choice.

278
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,400
But I'm your daughter.

279
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,360
No!

280
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,000
No! No!

281
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,760
SHE SOBS

282
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,760
No! If it is to happen,
let it be without struggle.

283
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,560
Do it.

284
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,600
<font color="

285
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,360
Do it!

286
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,680
No! Why? Why?!

287
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880
Why?!

288
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,000
Why?! Why?!

289
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Why?! Why?!

290
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,480
Why?!

291
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,320
Why?!

292
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:32,920
What is it?

293
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:35,840
I'm happy.

294
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,920
I'm so lost.

<font color="

296
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,680
Achilles! Achilles! The wind turns!

297
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,080
THUNDER RUMBLES

298
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:03,200
Do you like it? Very much.

299
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,840
They're from vines
just outside the city.

300
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,160
The olives are from there, too.
The best you'll eat.

301
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,440
Excuse me.

302
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:37,440
<font color="
She knew exactly what she was doing.

303
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,560
She's playing with us all.
We don't know that.

304
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,760
She left her own daughter, Hector.
What kind of a woman does that?

305
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,960
I don't know.

306
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,720
What if they come for her?

307
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,640
<font color="

308
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,400
What is it? You should come.

309
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,840
As far as the horizon,
scores and scores of them.

310
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Tell me.

311
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,600
We were restocking at Thrace.

312
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,840
We saw a fleet of Greek ships.

313
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,920
Thousands of men, weapons,
<font color="

314
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,600
Who leads them? All the Greek kings.

315
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,600
Agamemnon Odysseus Diomedes
Nestor of Pylos.

316
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,280
Achilles?

317
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,840
Achilles was there
and all his Myrmidon warriors.

318
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,400
When I asked a soldier
<font color="

319
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,760
he said they were after
stolen treasure.

320
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,520
I asked where they were going.

321
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:05,760
They said here.

322
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Thank you.

323
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,720
Set up beacons on the cliffs
and on the outlying islands.

324
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,680
I'll send word
<font color="

325
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,880
and all our allies
in the neighbouring cities.

326
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,600
Get messengers ready to ride out.

327
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,880
I'll raise the army,
put the city on war footing.

328
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,400
You were right.

329
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,960
The last time there was a war here,
<font color="

330
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,960
Hey! Go on! Get out!

331
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,920
Hesion! Hesion!

332
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Is it true? Are we going to fight?

333
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Looks like it.

334
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,000
Hey, it'll be all right.

335
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,760
Come on. Armies need bread.

336
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,200
I want a show of strength
to force them into negotiations.

337
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,120
<font color="
we're ready for them. Yes, my Lord.

338
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,280
They won't let me in the chamber.

339
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,480
I'm a brother in name,
but when it comes down to it...

340
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,600
You have no experience in battle.
That's all.

341
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480
<font color="

342
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,920
And they won't trust you, either.

343
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,440
Listen.

344
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,960
Let them confront the Greeks.

345
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,160
This will be over without war.
You really think so?

346
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,920
I have to believe it.

347
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,920
WHISPERING

348
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,280
They're coming.

349
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,920
<font color="

350
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,080
We should talk,
before we all regret our actions.

351

I am honoured to have you
as my guest, Menelaus,

352
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,640
and my condolences
on the death of your father.

353
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,040
He was a good man.

354
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,400
I hope the welcome on the beach
<font color="

355
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
we're not some village
to be bullied into submission.

356
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,320
Where is my wife?
Perhaps we could begin...

357
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,480
Where is my wife?! Safe.

358
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,760
I want to see her. Alone.

359
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,480
You can see her, but not alone.

MURMURING

Address me.

What as?

00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:33,760
Your husband.

The king.

00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,120
My lady, you've been treated well?

every hospitality.

Is that all?

370

Did that boy plan this
before he arrived?

371
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,960
Did he force you?

372
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,560
No no?

373
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,240
What did I do
to deserve such treatment?

<font color="

375
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,080
We found love. That's all.

00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,560
One day, perhaps...

377
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,400
..you'll understand.

00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,200
I will never understand.

00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,240
Is that all?

00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600
King Agamemnon

It is clear that Queen Helen

I'm sure Agamemnon does not desire
the shedding of blood.

384
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,400
My lady,
blood has already been shed.

His own child?

Killed? By his own hand.

389
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:50,120
So, I hope you will understand
how our conditions for peace

390
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,640

With all due respect, King Priam,

00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,560
what she wants is
of little interest to us.

395
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,440
She is yours.

00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,400
They're sending me back.
What about the negotiations?

We will return all gifts

These are King Agamemnon's demands.

409
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,560
The straits of the Dardanelles -
you control them.

410
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,480
You tax every cargo, every ship.

This'll break us.
A few years' hardship.

Nothing more.

414
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,920
A lesson learned. Oh, I see.
This is why you're here?

415
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,800
To destroy our economy?

King Priam, consider
the best option for your city.

00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,320
I was the loudest voice
in advocating Helen's return.

00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,720
Hector is wise.

421
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,880
Get out,

No-one! This is a disgrace.
A breach of the protocol.

Alexander, put down your weapon.
Your queen isn't going anywhere.

Troilus, Deiphobus, see them out.

Think again. No-one wants this war.

Make a counter-offer. Leave,

Infantry and horsemen.

We force them back
to their own walls.

00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,560
We climb the citadel,
we take the city, we get her back.

we destroy the city, we go home.

We should build ditches.

Dig ourselves in between the plain

No need.

He's friendly. You can stroke him.

We need to keep you safe,
away from the field.

Aeneas, your speed is welcome.

00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,080
What?

536
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,040
<font color="

537
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,720
Go back. Wait.

538
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,360
Wait!

539
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,680
All this, because of what?

540
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,920
The goddess wanted to win
a competition.

541
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,040
This isn't going to be over
in a week, or a month.

542
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,920
There'll be more battles,

543
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,120
I can't be the one
responsible for that.

544
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,480
Don't say it. I'm going home.

545
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,160
That's not your home.

546
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,920
Then where is? With me.

547
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,440
Love isn't always enough.
Then what is?

548
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,680
