All language subtitles for [English] Caesar the Conqueror Peplum Movie Historical Movie [DownSub.com]

Rome triumphs over the known world.

The peoples of Europe, Asia and Africa bow to Rome's

power and influence.

Rome prevails and shall continue to prevail throughout the centuries.

For when Rome is no more, there will be no

more world.

Caesar.

Caesar.

The men.

I must tell the men.

They must send me the legion.

Valerius.

The sea is crossed.

The gods are angry.

Caesar is favoured by the gods.

But I wonder how long I will continue to be.

The Tranquil Sky is a favourable sign.

It's the heart, my friend, that has doubts and is

never really at peace.

Laurel is the symbol of glory.

Laurel is the symbol of glory.

A crown that's worthy of Caesar.

Will you wear it one day?

When I am old and tired.

Caius Opius.

Caius Opius has arrived.

Then I must go to him.

Let the games begin.

We'll join you shortly.

Caius.

Welcome, Caius.

Welcome.

Much happiness and many victories, Caesar.

Many victories.

Over men and women.

Caius, old friend.

Caesar's victories depend on the Senate's reaction.

What news?

I haven't been able to defeat all the enemies of

Caesar.

They so outnumber Caesar's friends.

Great.

No.

But they include that great orator, Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero, my friend and my enemy.

The father of our country.

A senile old man surrounded by a Senate full of

the same.

Each clinging to the other like a gathering of old

women.

Oh, I jest, Caius.

He's a good citizen and a good orator.

But he has no vision.

He's blind like the others.

Blind.

Naturally, they refuse me the legions I ask.

To be brief, Caesar, they intend to discuss the question.

But they will never approve your expedition to Britain.

You have war inside you, Caesar.

Cicero and his senile senators.

Frightened of Caesar's ambition.

Blind fools, can't they see?

Don't they know that my ambition is their ambition, the

ambition of Rome?

I will go to Britain.

And Caesar shall have his legions all the same.

Caius.

My friend, Caius.

You must be weary.

Somewhat.

I journeyed day and night.

I was afraid you might have sailed before I arrived.

Perhaps it's destiny.

Or the will of the gods.

Maybe that's what made me pause.

Oh, don't be impertinent with the gods, Caius.

Never.

Anyway, I had this strong feeling I should remain in

Gaul this time.

For what reason?

I know not, Caius.

I do know that Caesar's impertinence is confined to man.

Always pay strict attention to the gods.

But now I'm going to Britain.

I've decided.

The games.

Come, my friend.

Come.

Kill him!

Get him in his stomach!

Kill him!

After him!

A hundred sesterces that the Gaul will beat the German,

all right?

A hundred sesterces, I accept.

Kill him!

Like that!

Kill him!

He won!

You deserve to be rewarded.

I grant you your liberty.

What are you called?

Vercingetorix.

I have fought corruption in senatorial tribunals all my life.

Now I ask you to help me, Pompey.

Like yourself, I was not appointed, but freely elected, Pompey.

You know that I share your views, Caesar.

Your battle is also mine.

Yes, Pompey, we're alike in many ways.

In many ways, I agree with you.

But your request for new legions...

It's all part of a greater plan for a greater

democracy.

It's my dream.

My ambition, which may never be realized.

I see a new state.

With sweeping radical reforms.

I see, for example, a new economy, functioning without the

aid of warfare and slavery.

It's your ambition that's feared in the Senate.

Your ambition.

Our ambition, Pompey.

Yours, mine, Rome's, our ambition.

But only to further Rome's destiny.

Speak to them, Pompey.

Speak not for Caesar, but for the glory of Rome

itself.

I shall do so.

I promise you.

Ave. Ave, Pompey.

Do you trust him, Caesar?

I trust that he'll deliver a message.

No, Crassus.

He'll speak against me.

And when he does, we'll learn something from our esteemed

Pompey.

And now that I have informed the Senate of the

measures I proposed at Ravenna for the welfare of the

Republic, you must be advised that Caesar wants more legions.

More legions?

Do you believe, Pompey, that Caesar needs these legions or

that Caesar wants them?

Cicero.

Pompey.

I would never have brought forward such a proposal.

Where is Caesar?

Why isn't he here?

To justify his request and his behavior.

And yet, he's in Italy, Pompey tells us, that he

presided at the annual assizes.

But he's not here, in Rome.

At this assembly.

Why?

Does he fear, perhaps, having to give us an account

of his campaign in Britain?

Or maybe he doesn't want to speak to us of

the rebellion which has broken out in Gaul.

Or by his silence, does he expect to hold himself

beyond the authority of Rome?

He is not here.

But he asks for other legions.

Caesar is undoubtedly a great military leader, gentlemen.

But other duties don't exist for him.

He spared neither friends nor money for his re-election

as consul.

He interested himself in the provinces of Gaul because of

their riches.

His villas bursting with treasures bear witness to it.

You accuse Caesar unjustly.

When you should be remembering, rather, in what brief a

time he conquered Gaul.

And how his conquests have enriched the state treasuries with

gold.

He is incapable of acting out of self-interest and

without due circumspection.

In your firm loyalty to Caesar, a sentiment that does

you great honor as his friend.

Attention, Caius Opius, you may worsen his position.

If he has always behaved with due circumspection, how, then,

did he conduct the campaign in Britain in spite of

the Senate's interdiction?

Because Caesar values the interests of the Senate.

Less than the grandeur of Rome.

Nobody is more certain than I am of how close

to Caesar's heart lies the glory of the Republic.

But other legions mean stripping Rome of her defenses.

We will pardon, oh Pompey, a young Dacius Scrobonius Curio

for his impetuosity.

And we'll ask him to reflect a little.

It's the facts that count.

Only the facts.

Caesar has demonstrated he pursues no more than his own

private ambitions.

And if you remember, oh Senators, when Caesar asked to

be re-elected consul, I warned you, I repeated to

you the words of Sulla, who, judging the character of

the young Caesar, said, In this man before me, I

perceive a multiplication of the ambitions of Caius Marius.

Now, I tell you, Caesar's attitude and his ambitions can

bring about the ruin of the Republic.

Caesar is above suspicion.

If he is, let him appear in the Senate.

Let him tell us why he has bereaved thousands of

citizens and endangered the very safety of Rome itself.

Before you impose on Caesar the humiliation of defending himself

before the Senate, it's only just that we consider his

works and what kind of man he is.

It isn't a question of punishment, but of affirming the

power and authority of the state.

I ask that Caius Julius Caesar be called back to

Rome to render an account of his policies and actions.

Back to Rome!

Back to

Rome!

Caesar asked too great a sacrifice of me.

I can't marry a man I don't even know.

He is one of Caesar's most trusted lieutenants and comes

from an illustrious family.

Be assured, all Rome will pay honors to you as

the wife of Cicero's brother.

But I don't love him.

You love him.

Love will come when, by living with him, you learn

to appreciate and respect your husband.

Suppose I love another.

Another?

Yes.

Three years ago in Lucca, when Caesar attended the assizes

with Crassus and Pompey, we went along too.

It was the last time I saw Caesar.

There I met Claudius Valerius, an officer in one of

Caesar's legions.

Yes, I remember him.

We promised to love each other and I swore I'd

always be faithful.

Just a youthful fancy, Publia.

No, it's serious, Calpurnia, because in all this time I

haven't forgotten him.

And I know he hasn't forgotten me.

Well, now you must forget him.

You're not the first woman to be asked for a

sacrifice like this.

Julius Caesar needs an alliance with the family of Cicero.

It's the only way of getting his friendship.

You know that Caesar loves you like a daughter and

I do too.

Don't you think he's interested in your happiness?

What is it, Clalia?

Caius Opius asked to speak to you.

He says it concerns something very important.

Let him come in.

Stay, Publia.

Greetings, Calpurnia.

Ave, Publia.

What's happened?

It's no use.

Marcus Tullius Cicero was inflexible.

The only thing I've been able to obtain is a

two-day postponement of the Senate's decision.

But the results of the voting are already obvious.

They will order Caesar's return to Rome.

Caesar would never deign to obey such an order.

Never.

Then that means civil war.

I'll prepare for my departure, Calpurnia.

I will go to Gaul and marry Quintus Cicero.

I hope her sacrifice won't be made in vain.

No, don't worry.

See that Publia leaves today and tomorrow I'll tell the

news to Marcus Tullius Cicero.

He has a strong feeling for his family.

Then you'll see that he himself, the state's advocate, will

maintain the necessity of keeping Caesar in Gaul.

May the gods be with us.

Tell your commander Caesar's orders are to hold.

Hold at any cost.

We will deliver your orders, Caesar.

But you understand that none of us will return to

Rome alive.

All of Gaul is aflame.

Every forest, every winding path, every tree, you might say,

is an ambush.

With the name of Vercingetorix on their lips, the Gauls

rush to their deaths and for every thousand killed, another

thousand rises up.

I know you well, my Publius.

You've served with Caesar in the last four campaigns.

Against the Veronti, at the Rhine, in Spain.

And the Gulf of Maribane, Caesar.

The Gulf of Maribane.

Faulty memory.

Old age catching up with all of us.

Yes, the Gulf of Maribane.

I remember you well.

You were the last man to leave.

You swam ashore to safety, like brave Horatius, I understand

your words, Publius.

I feel your weariness.

Therefore it will be decreed that you shall return to

Rome with the rank of centurion.

To be given a goodly pension and much land on

which you can live the rest of your days in

peace and in memory of our past victories together over

men and women.

No, Caesar.

I'm not finished yet.

Don't humiliate me like this.

The land can wait, old soldier.

But we can't.

Rise up.

Publius, when you deliver Caesar's orders to your superiors, tell

them Caesar promises victory.

Be of good cheer.

We shall drink to Minerva yet.

We shall drink in Rome.

Yes, you and I.

Go now.

The gods go with you.

Aye, Caesar.

Pharaoh, wait.

You must deliver a message to your consul, Quintus Cicero.

Tell him my beloved ward, Publius, is making the journey

to his camp.

I want the marriage celebrated as quickly as possible and

happily so.

Excuse me, Caesar.

Yes, Cloris?

But you're putting your ward in grave danger.

Gaul at this moment is no place to take a

pleasure trip.

She'll be safe.

She'll join Sabina's legion and she'll be safe.

Caesar guarantees her safety.

Are you sure?

Really sure?

Caesar guarantees.

But the marriage?

My poor, lonely Cloris.

It's a necessity.

A sad, political necessity.

Caesar, you...

you understand me.

You know what it means to be lonely.

Sooner or later, young Cloris, every man knows love.

The utter loneliness.

Because you see, every man's alone.

Livius!

Fabius!

Carinus!

Julius Caesar to Caius Opius.

Greetings.

Your reply has given me much joy.

I look forward to a happy and profitable match for

Publius.

My faithful Calpurnia, I greet you with love and affection.

I, too, feel empty and wanting after this long separation.

Everything now seems to be working out in the best

way possible.

I knew I could count on you and our beloved

ward, Publius.

All Gaul is divided into three parts.

One of which the Belgae inhabit, the Aquitaine another, and

those who in their own language are called Celts in

ours Gauls the third.

All of these differ from one another in language, customs,

and law.

If you were only here beside me, Calpurnia, my task

would be much easier.

It will be three years next month since I last

held you in my arms.

I grow old, Calpurnia.

I'm tired.

So infinitely tired.

But as my weariness grows, so grows my love.

Despite our ideological differences, Cicero is my friend and I

regard him highly.

Do impress upon him, Caius, the honesty of my feelings.

I consider a marriage between our families as the purest

of blessings.

Yet remember, Calpurnia, the destiny of a soldier is death.

This was one of my prayers a little space of

land with a garden near the house, a spring of

living water, and a small wood beside.

Valerius, is it true that Caesar isn't going back to

Gaul?

Why are you looking so thoughtful?

Publius is going to marry Quintus Cicero.

It's Caesar's will.

You know how much I'm in love with her.

Claudius Valerius, Caesar has sent for you.

Carinus, the treatise on Gaul.

Send the letters to Caius Opius and to my wife.

Thank you.

Ah, Claudius, select 10 of the best men.

We're leaving.

Where are we going?

To Gaul.

To Gaul?

With only 10 men?

There's your answer, Claudius.

So now we know the will of the gods.

It's obvious.

With Caesar in Italy, there'd be no stopping this in

Gesserix.

And now?

Now we'll hit him when and where he least expects

it.

You see, Claudius, this is how the history of a

nation rests.

In the hands of well-meaning political idiots.

The Senate refuses me the legions I ask, and now

indirectly allows me to stop the revolt in Gaul.

In bowing to the Senate, I protect the honor of

Rome.

And I put the lie to Pompey's threats.

Who'll dare to refuse Caesar after he's conquered Vercingetorix?

But how will we get through?

The Gauls are everywhere.

We'll pass through the Seven Mountains.

That's impossible.

It just seems impossible.

Come.

Once inside, here is Marcus Labienus.

Here, the legions of Titus.

Quintus Cicero's camp here.

Now, they converge in this direction.

Together, they face the Gauls.

What about the mountains?

You put too much faith in mountains, and not enough

in Caesar.

And Quintus Labienus?

He will keep the road open from Italy for our

beloved Publia.

He will hold the position.

Relax, my friend.

Caesar's with you.

I feel so disheartened.

Has not Caesar called you his friend?

Here we are at last.

Yes.

What a solitary place.

We are in Gaul.

Glorious Valerius.

Look.

There's a hut.

Who do you suppose lives there?

I don't know.

They're exhausted.

They must rest.

Come.

Forward.

Greetings, old man.

Can you give a shelter for the night?

Yes, of course.

Have Publius and Domitian brought here.

I'm very grateful to you.

Thank you.

Up there are two injured men.

Can you help them?

I know of herbs in the forest that cure any

wound.

I'll take care of them.

You're a good man.

How can I repay you?

I had a blade like this one a long time

ago.

But it broke.

Take it.

It's yours.

In here.

But you, Caesar, this is your place.

We'll stay outside.

Don't worry.

For the wounded, rest well.

They're in your hands now.

I know you'll cure them.

You live here, my friend?

Yes, I was born here.

What's your name?

You're the stranger here.

Tell me your name.

Caesar.

Have you ever heard of Julius Caesar?

I live all alone.

I have never heard of anybody.

What do you do to keep alive?

Water flows down from the mountains.

Along the hillside, the land is rich with grain for

my bread.

The forest gives me the rest.

Are you all alone?

Don't you have any friends?

I am alone.

But I don't feel alone.

I've always lived like this.

Haven't you ever wanted to go down into the valley?

Is there peace down in the valley?

I had to come all the way up this mountain

to find the only happy man.

These are Caesar's orders, Quintus Sabinus.

You must hold out with an entrenched camp until Caesar

decides otherwise.

Very well, Cornelius Crispus.

You may go.

I'll go to see about reinforcing the outpost.

It's useless.

We're not staying in the entrenched camp.

But what about Caesar's orders?

He doesn't know what our real situation is.

But he must have prepared a plan and we are

part of his strategy.

Even though closed in here as we are, we become

annihilated?

But it will be for the glory of Rome.

Or the glory of Caesar.

What are you going to do, Consul Quintus Sabinus?

I shall order the legion to prepare to leave for

Italy and to burn the camp.

But that's treason.

I don't need to tell you that I'm the commander

here and that a refusal to obey my orders is

treason.

When do you order their departure?

Tomorrow morning, at daybreak.

Welcome, Astrid.

What do you want?

I've come to offer my alliance.

Why do you, Queen of the Suevi, say you want

to help me?

Because I hate Rome.

My people have suffered under the Romans.

They killed my father and devastated my land.

But I was too weak to oppose them all alone.

War is rough, Astrid, and uncertain.

The battlefield is no place for a woman.

Cruelty and blood are the laws of war.

I've known these horrors since I was a child.

Let me stay at your side.

Let me share the battle versus the Jeterics to avenge

mine.

I agree.

Come on, you Roman dog.

Talk if you value your life or I'll make you

sorry Did you hear what I said?

Spit it out!

I said spit it out!

I swear, I'll have no peace till this same sword

pierces through the breastbone of Julius Caesar!

Greetings, Vercingetorix.

Greetings, future ruler of Gaul.

Viridomyrus and I have come to assure you of the

solidarity of our people.

And where are your soldiers?

Why didn't you bring me any cavalry?

The forest is bursting with Gaulic warriors, but I haven't

seen any Aedui.

We can't make a move without awakening the suspicions of

the Romans.

They think we're friends of theirs.

I know.

For years you've been fighting for Caesar.

It's because of people like you that Gaul has been

overrun and beaten.

What do you want?

Vercingetorix, when the Gauls elect you their king, what will

become of our people, the Aedui?

We're not fighting for anything.

You haven't won yet, Vercingetorix.

And we know Julius Caesar.

Caesar is in Italy!

When his consuls asked for aid, he sent word he

couldn't move.

Caesar is in Italy, and two days later you find

him in Belgium.

You go to face him there, and he's already in

Aquitania.

He moves with the speed of the wind and the

slyness of a fox.

Caesar is very short of legions.

He depends on our aid.

We can be very useful to you but we will

turn our armed men against him.

Think about it, Vercingetorix.

All right, what do you ask?

Give us the Roman gold that's stored in Jergovia.

It's a high price.

Equal to the value of our services.

Which of you will remain as hostages to guarantee this

pact?

I claim the honor of remaining at your side, Vercingetorix.

Now get out!

Vercingetorix.

Oh, it's you, Astrid.

Have you come to, to tell me your price or

the aid you give me?

I don't ask for anything, Vercingetorix.

You're the man who has defied Julius Caesar's power, and

you're the one who will avenge all of us who've

been oppressed and humiliated.

You're beautiful, Astrid.

Too beautiful for the horrors of a battlefield.

It doesn't matter.

It's enough to be by your side.

I'll be able to overcome all obstacles, Vercingetorix.

Sustained by my hate for Rome, my faith in you.

You're beautiful, Astrid.

You'll be pleased to know that we're approaching our destination.

Just a few miles more, and we'll arrive at Quinta

Cicero's fortress.

Thank you.

I was beginning to wonder if Gaul was just endless.

For the last three nights, the mosquitoes haven't let me

get a wink of sleep.

Please, Clelia, will you hand me that mirror?

If we're approaching our destination, it's our duty to make

ourselves beautiful.

How horrible.

Don't look.

Soldiers of Rome!

The forest is full of the enemy!

Who is he?

They're all dead.

They are all dead.

I wish I were dead, too.

The Gauls captured me, and then they tore out my

eyes.

Where is Caesar?

Why has he abandoned us?

Tell him to come back and avenge our...

It's an ambush!

The Gauls!

Help!

Help!

I got you!

Let me go!

Help!

Let me go!

Patrick, let her go!

I killed the man.

The woman's mine.

She doesn't look like a ordinary prisoner.

Hurry, back to camp!

Help, please!

Help!

And that's how Gaul will be strong, by its laws

and by its sword.

And you will be our king, Vercingetorix.

Only if the people want me to be.

Vercingetorix, a valuable prize has fallen into our hands.

Who are you, woman?

I'm a Roman citizen.

What is your name?

Cecilia.

Caesar's ward.

How is it that Caesar has allowed you to come

to Gaul?

Is he so sure of himself?

You might have been killed by my men, you know.

I would have preferred to die, rather than to fall

into your hands.

To die?

Why?

You're too beautiful to die.

Did you capture her?

Yes.

I entrust her to you.

She's to be treated like a guest, and not a

hair of her head is to be harmed.

Yes, chief.

Or you'll lose your own head.

Go!

Caesar's ward!

Why didn't you kill her?

You don't kill hostages.

And this one's valuable.

Open up!

There's a message from the Gauls.

There's no alternative.

Lysangetrix demands our surrender for Publius' freedom.

Life for life, I'll offer myself in exchange.

You, Marcus Laborius, will take command.

We could try a sortie and face them on the

field, taking them by surprise.

No, it would be madness and useless destruction.

The example of Quintus Sabinus should teach us something.

Listen, Quintus Cicero.

There's that signal again.

They've been repeating it for an hour.

Go and fetch the prisoner we captured two days ago.

It must be very important if they keep repeating it.

We'll force him to tell us what this signal means.

What is the meaning of these calls?

Speak!

Didn't you hear my question?

Speak!

What are they saying?

Answer!

What are they saying?

Julius Caesar has returned to Gaul.

He has joined Brutus' legions and won a great victory

in Alvernia.

The city of Avaricum has been occupied by the Romans.

Caesar's returned!

There's no more uncertainty now.

Tell the men what is happening and give them the

order to hold out at all costs.

But that will mean famine for our people.

No, it means that Caesar won't be able to get

any supplies.

Patrol each river ford and mountain pass.

I want to be informed of every move of the

Romans.

Now go!

It's turned out just as Viridomarus and I predicted.

Caesar has tricked all of us.

Do you have any doubts about my victory?

No, we have faith in you.

Only I am convinced that in the moment for action

our aid will be much more important than you think.

I salute you, Vercingetorix, and await your orders.

What Caesar?

Centurion Decimus Celius of Marcus Labienus' legion.

Yes?

Centurion Decimus Celius of Marcus Labienus awaits your orders.

He informs you his food supply is short and the

enemy has destroyed everything before us.

Since he cannot proceed by force of arms he wishes

to starve them out.

Well, that's strategy.

But is it good?

What if he needs tomorrow what he destroys today?

Where will he get it?

Where do you see combat?

In Britain, and at the River Seine, against the Parisians.

Not without victory?

No, Caesar.

And now?

I see.

Are you ready to leave immediately?

Yes, Caesar.

Proceed back to your camp with the orders for Labienus

that he is to break camp and to march to

Lutetia for further instructions there.

Yes, Caesar.

Wait.

Gold.

The best award for valor is better than that for

caution.

Thank you, Caesar.

Stettinius, prepare to march at dawn.

Send in the centurion, Valerius.

You sent for me, Caesar?

Yes, Claudius.

You will deliver this message to Quintus Cicero.

To Quintus Cicero?

I...

Quintus Cicero.

His marriage to Publia is no longer politically expedient.

Thank you, Caesar.

I'm happy to carry out these orders.

Ave, Caesar.

Ave. We

haven't much farther to go.

Tonight we'll sleep in the fortress of Quintus Cicero.

If you'll permit me, centurion, I don't believe it's rest

you're looking forward to.

What do you mean?

Just that Publia's presence in Quintus Cicero's fortress has sped

our horses more than was necessary.

For some time now, you've been growing more impersonate.

Do you think it's wrong to love a beautiful young

girl?

Certainly not.

What's that cry?

Sounds like an animal.

Maybe so, but we'd better stay alert.

Don't move, you Roman dog.

Speak.

Speak up, you cursed Roman.

What does this message say?

I tell you, it's written in Greek.

I don't know.

I don't know the language.

I never studied it.

It's in Greek.

Wait.

Maybe the Roman girl knows.

I've already thought of that.

Rodan, bring in the prisoner.

Hmm.

Maybe there's someone here in Alesia who knows Greek.

Come here.

Publia.

Goliath.

You know each other.

All the better.

We found this message on the prisoner.

It's from Caesar and it's written in Greek.

Translate it.

I don't know Greek.

All the Roman patricians know this language.

If you're interested in him, you can either save him

or watch him die by slow torture.

I told you, I don't know Greek.

Rodan, go to work.

No!

Once more.

No!

You will bear those scars for the rest of your

life in memory of this day.

Now speak!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Let her go, Brennus.

Promise to spare his life.

Yes.

You mustn't speak.

Don't speak, Publia.

Don't speak!

Can't help it.

No, I can't help it.

Julius Caesar to Quintus Cicero.

Greetings.

Caesar, ten days after the new moon I shall leave

the fortress.

Join me with your legions on the road that leads

to Jagovia.

Caesar in Jagovia!

In Jagovia!

Inform Caesar that all is calm.

Caesar, all is calm, but there's no sign yet of

the consul and his men.

May it be the God's will that nothing's happened to

Claudius Valerius.

It's too silent.

What shall we do, Caesar?

We'll advance to the outskirts of Jagovia.

Forward!

And hold the cavalry ready.

Yes, Caesar.

Forward!

Forward!

For the glory of Rome!

For Rome!

For Caesar!

For Caesar!

We cannot

continue the battle.

Our legions are decimated.

Titus Arteas must withdraw.

Sound the retreat.

The rest of you, follow me.

Caesar, Titus Arteas has withdrawn from the battle according to

your orders.

He'll gain considerable distance under the cover of night.

And Marcus Cato?

His sacrifice permitted our troops to withdraw.

Join Titus Arteas and tell him to make camp on

the other bank of the river.

I'll send in further orders.

Fabius, Marcus Labienus must join us at Alesia.

Nebius, tell the poridurics to proceed immediately to the plain

of Alesia.

Terentius, Titus Sextus' legion must make a forced march to

the Alesian plains.

And you, Mark Antony?

Yes, Caesar.

How many men are left in your legion?

Two hundred, Caesar.

Two hundred.

They will come with us to Quintus Cicero's fortress.

Their syngenerics will soon know the legions are on the

march.

He won't be able to attack all of them.

So he'll concentrate all his strength in Alesia and there

we will attack.

But the food supply.

How will we feed all these men when they're gathered

together?

It will suffice.

This week will surely decide the outcome of the campaign.

Don't fear, Mark Antony.

You're with Caesar and his star.

All right.

Claudia, I couldn't bear to think that you hated me.

That you would feel contempt for me.

I did it for you.

When I saw them torturing you like that, I...

Oh.

I have loved you and I still love you.

Too much pubilia to bear you any ill will.

But now we are divided by these shouts of joy.

That means Caesar's defeat.

The defeat of Rome.

No, Claudius, you're wrong.

Caesar is not defeated and first syngenerics victory is only

a thing of the moment.

What do you mean?

Caesar is safe.

Tell me you forgive me.

Pubilia, Caesar has given you back to me.

He will win.

I'm sure of it now and the sun will shine

on the Capitoline Hill when you walk up it at

my side.

Where Claudius is.

There is Pubilia.

The moon has risen.

We must go back before we are discovered.

Goodbye, Claudius.

Listen, my distinguished ally.

Bear witness to this, Quintus.

It will be a long day but we've had long

days before and long nights.

This syngenerics is enclosed here in the city of Alesia.

He will never submit to a siege.

That's why we've made the defensive measures that you have

seen.

Two days.

Time enough to allow the Legion of Titus to join

us.

We hope to give a sufficient strength to face an

attack.

It's going to be a long day.

You'll be in hourly communication by messenger.

In case of emergency, inform me, that's all.

Quintus, a word.

Well, my friend, where are your men concentrated?

Here, in the forest.

The cavalry of the Aedui awaits your orders, Caesar.

On signal, you'll bring them into the heaviest fighting.

Yours may be the decisive action.

It will be our glory to have contributed to yours,

Caesar.

I salute you.

What do you say, Quintus?

You trust him?

He's our ally.

Yes.

Well, Quintus, then why does Caesar trust the enemy at

all?

You'll see what kind of an ally.

Good news.

Information that Publius is alive.

I know, Caesar.

It's difficult for me to say.

Don't hold Caesar to the word he once gave you.

Thank you, old friend.

You dare to come before me, Bellovacan?

I asked you for 10,000 infantry and 2,000

horsemen.

How many have you brought?

Answer me.

2,000 horsemen, Vercingetorix.

More my people couldn't give me.

The war that I am fighting isn't for me.

It's for the liberty of Gaul.

Cut off his right hand and send him back to

his country to show how Vercingetorix punishes traitors.

No, you can't do this to me.

No, you can't do it.

No, no.

Drink.

I wanted you to be here and see with your

own eyes what my power is.

Almost all Gaul is represented here by its chiefs.

Each one represents a tribe.

The Alerci.

The Caderci.

The Gabali.

The Valani.

The Parisi and a hundred or so more.

What could Caesar do against all these?

Now that I've seen, let me retire.

You know, I like that proud air of yours.

You only lost it once.

And that was for love.

Oh, Hestus, protect our armies.

Oh, Hestus.

Did you slip away from them?

I couldn't bear that chanting and the rituals of those

barbarians.

Go away, slave.

I will go only if my mistress commands me.

Did you hear what I said?

Get out!

Go.

Why did you run away?

A religious ceremony dedicated to your armies doesn't concern me.

I am a Roman.

I've liked you right from the beginning, Publia.

Since, as a hostage, I have no more use for

you.

Not only will the gods give me victory, but also

one of Caesar's women.

Vercingetorix.

Who dares?

Eporedorix wants to speak to you.

Eporedorix, let him in.

Vercingetorix, Caesar is expecting the legion of Titus Arteus to

arrive within the next two days.

I myself was present at the meeting in Caesar's tent.

5,080 we are prepared for your commands.

I counsel you to attack before Caesar has united all

his forces.

Call all the chiefs together to meet in council.

And you will be the prize given to the winner.

What do you want, Astrid?

I hate you, Roman.

Because you've robbed me of Vercingetorix's love.

I hate him as much as you love him.

Your feelings don't interest me.

I offer you your freedom.

I don't want to be a slave to you.

Show me how.

I'll come with you to the walls of the city.

A horse will be there.

You'll soon be far away from Vercingetorix.

I'll accept only if the prisoner Claudius Valerius comes with

me.

It's all the same to me.

Poverty!

Oh, a horse is waiting for you outside.

Thank you.

I didn't do it for you.

Remember, even if they should torture you, you don't know

anything.

You can count on me.

What about Clelia?

I couldn't bring her with me.

She insisted on sacrificing herself so we could escape unnoticed.

Poor Clelia.

Claudius, the Aedui have betrayed Caesar and Vercingetorix will attack

before the arrival of Titus Arteus.

How can we inform Caesar?

We've been riding for hours.

If we manage to overtake Titus Arteus, Caesar will be

safe.

May the gods assist us.

We'll hurry to his camp.

We'll gallop.

Yes, quickly.

Get ready.

Marcus Labienus on the left flank.

Titus Sextus on the right flank.

The cavalry behind the hill.

And you at the head of the slingsman.

Asking for

the glory of Rome.

Titus Sextus asks permission to counterattack.

No, the moment hasn't come.

The signal to the Aedui.

Ave. Give the signal.

Caesar's orders.

Very well.

Did you send for me, Caesar?

Go to the right to help Titus Arteus.

Did you give the signal to the Aedui?

Yes.

Charge!

What are they

doing?

The others, quickly, with me.

The night is too short.

Sleep, my son.

Sleep.

It's you.

I dreamed.

I dreamed we were entering Rome on the day of

our triumph.

What better dream could you ask?

Wounded me in the back, Caesar.

Not because I was running away.

They crept up on me.

Look at my chest.

It was always facing the enemy.

You will be rewarded.

It would take all night

to make account of our casualties.

We were betrayed.

The Aedui went over to the strongest side.

What then?

If we could only hold out, maybe tomorrow Titus Arteus,

his wagon, his supplies, he won't arrive in time.

It's a night without stars of my defeat.

But the victor won't know how to use his victory.

Only Rome, only Rome can teach respect.

We point the way, Antony, to tomorrow.

Why didn't you use the reserves in today's battle, Caesar?

Tomorrow they will be needed.

And so the Aedui have betrayed us.

That's why it's necessary to hurry to aid Caesar.

Caius Martius.

At your orders.

Prepare for our departure immediately.

We must join Caesar as quickly as possible.

The baggage, wagons and everything heavy must be left behind.

Go.

We leave in an hour.

Go now.

Second and third legions, forward!

Forward!

On the

extreme right, the cavalry, to the far left as reinforcement.

Go to Mark Antony's aid.

You, Brutus, with the rest of the cavalry, I'll join

my legionaries.

Forward for the glory of Rome!

Caesar, here is your triumph.

I have fought for the liberty of Gaul and I

have lost.

I ask no charity for myself but clemency for my

people.

Forward march!

I have fought and won but I haven't conquered over

man's clouds.
