1
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
It is the second century after Christ:
2
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:05,100
an immense empire, stretching
to the limits of the known world
3
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,800
and its cornerstone in the scattered cities
by the seven hills on the left banks of the Tiber.
4
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,300
The voice of Rome has always been feared
in every city under your rule.
5
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,700
But the eternal city was
an unattainable myth
6
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,100
to the scattered people of Brittany
to the far reaches of Asia.
7
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,900
The masters of the world and their villages
in the Mediterranean Sea,
8
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,700
they rested from their wars
profitable, from his political efforts,
9
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:35,900
and the boredom of not having
nothing left to achieve.
10
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:42,900
Okay then, as the story
of Appius Lucanus finished?
11
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,400
As soon as he received the petition,
12
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,200
the Emperor replied that he would arrange
for him an excellent position with the troops.
13
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,600
Like a rower on his triremes?
14
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,500
Marcus!
15
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,900
Greetings, Senator Lucidius.
- Greetings.
16
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:14,700
How come you are not at the palace, Fabricius?
17
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,200
You don't fear that someone will steal
your place next to the Empress?
18
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,700
I understand.
I think I should leave now.
19
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:25,400
Courtiers have quick perceptions
these days. - Good morning, Senator.
20
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,200
Good morning, Marcus!
- You're leaving me in danger.
21
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,000
This is the point I wanted to talk about
with you, Marcus. - What's the rush?
22
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,600
I've only been in Rome for 3 months. Let
I get rid of the stench of these barbarians.
23
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Marcus, I can still help you
to be obtained from the Emperor
24
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,800
a commitment to a post
which will be to your liking.
25
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:45,900
Our fortune is no longer big enough
to secure a future for you.
26
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,900
Very good. Let's hear where
you want to send me.
27
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,800
But not Brittany, too much fog.
- What do you say about Germany?
28
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,400
No! Can you see me in a country where
Do women put sheep fat in their hair?
29
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:01,600
Well... Iléria?
- I have creditors there. Very risky.
30
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:05,900
Not seriously.
Palestine is at peace at the moment.
31
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,700
Armenia? Yes, why not?
Armenia!
32
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,100
Armenia? And what do I have to do there?
33
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,300
Put an end to a gladiator uprising.
34
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,000
After a few days, you will be a proconsul.
35
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,500
It's a small country with a small war.
36
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:23,700
Armenia is certainly the place for you.
37
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:28,000
And I even like the name: Armenia.
Sounds like the name of a lovely woman, doesn't it?
38
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:33,600
Oh, it's a wonderful place: kind women,
banquets... - Hunting? - Hunt!
39
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Rich, green, rolling plains,
fresh fresh water sources,
40
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600
everything you could want!
41
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,900
Abundant forests, rich plains
lawns, fresh water fountains!
42
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,300
Okay, Uncle Lucidius, your
description fits perfectly.
43
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,800
Write this, "Armenia is divided
into three parts: rocks, rocks,
44
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,400
and rocks."
45
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,900
An escort was not supposed to have
Coming from Ctesiphon?
46
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:31,300
I can't blame them for staying home.
Come, we will set up camp among the rocks.
47
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400
The emperors conquered
some incredible territories!
48
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,200
There is Tiburtius returning.
49
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,600
Marcus! The escort was sent
to Crisippus! - What there was?
50
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:43,700
Down there among the rocks, captured!
51
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,700
To the horse! - Be careful, there are many.
We won't be able to deal with them alone!
52
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,100
Hurry, let's go!
53
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,900
Vinicius! I thought I saw
something up there. Look!
54
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,700
Asclepius! Asclepius! They will bring us
just bad luck. Free them!
55
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,100
Return to your children, Ramnes.
- I'm thinking about them!
56
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,400
When you have performed these
Romans, Rome will still be standing.
57
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,500
I said go back inside.
58
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,100
Your wife is smarter
than you, Asclepius.
59
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,100
And you are more than her like all who are
about to die. - Jupiter decides when someone dies.
60
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,500
So Jupiter decided that you
He will be dead before nightfall.
61
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:39,500
We must move on, Ramnes.
Prepare the wagon.
62
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:44,200
When will this life end?
- When Armenia is free.
63
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:46,900
And all your freed slaves.
64
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I know it's hard for you.
- They are our children, Asclepius.
65
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,900
They never had a house.
They don't even know how to play.
66
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,500
And they laugh so rarely.
67
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:05,700
I sometimes fear that they have
if forgotten how. And then, after all,
68
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:08,600
What if we never gain victory?
69
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,800
It will still be better than killing
gladiators in the arena.
70
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,900
Men who are not enemies.
71
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,500
You know I'm right, Ramnes.
72
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:21,100
I will follow you. See?
73
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Look what Aros plans.
74
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,500
What is it?
Did you eat your meal?
75
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,700
All? Oh!
What? Do you want to play?
76
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:34,700
Come here!
77
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:41,300
Put that away.
Look, you got dirty.
78
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,700
Go to that side and wait
by my signal.
79
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:13,000
A Roman!
80
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:15,100
A Roman!
81
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,700
It's legion!
Go away, Ramnes!
82
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:59,500
No, we'll stay with you!
- Save the children! Quickly! Go! Go!
83
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,800
Asclepius! Asclepius!
84
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Let's go! Quickly!
85
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:24,100
Cowards! Cowards!
86
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,900
Vinicius, start lowering camp.
- Good, Marcus. You there!
87
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,100
How beautiful!
- Don't touch me!
88
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600
You shouldn't have done that.
This place is not for you.
89
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,400
I hate the Romans more than
that you hate them, Asclepius.
90
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,300
Just try not to move.
You lost a lot of blood.
91
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,700
Perhaps when we have captured
Asclepius, we will end the war.
92
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,100
You, hurry up with those bandages.
We are leaving.
93
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,400
He can't move! Die!
- If he dies, it will be one less.
94
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,200
Where are you going?
95
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Marcus!
96
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,500
You!
Tie her with the others.
97
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,400
Don't you have another place for it?
98
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:42,900
Hey, you! Tie her up.
99
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:46,500
A lot of women fight for Asclepius, don't they?
- I don't understand the strategy.
100
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,700
Women have always done well
with the Romans. - Where is she from?
101
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,700
His father was a great doctor
at Ctesiphon.
102
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,400
Why do you fight with Asclepius?
103
00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:00,700
Because I hate you. It was the first
something I learned when I was a baby.
104
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:04,600
Let's go! Your horses!
- Hurry!
105
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:18,100
For an outlaw and a bandit,
He seems to be liked by a lot of people.
106
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,200
I don't think we are that loved. - Unfortunately,
We did nothing to gain their trust.
107
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,800
Indeed, we are still enemies, invaders.
108
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,600
You there! Bring the prisoners to the prison!
109
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,500
Asclepius do not listen to me, but these
Romans don't seem as bad as the others.
110
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Yes, but they are Romans all the same.
- Move! Move, you two!
111
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:41,300
Let's go!
112
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,500
Come on, lazy people, a little more energy!
113
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,100
That's right, Astarte, make me beautiful!
114
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,900
I don't want this Marcus
Numidius say in Rome
115
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,400
who found me sloppy
like some provincials.
116
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:26,300
What do you think? He will be one of those
Romans with the law in their toga
117
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,700
who just fights, kills and gets drunk?
Or will he be like you?
118
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,900
I don't know this new generation.
I hope he's not boring.
119
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,800
Marcus, here we are.
120
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:03,100
I present the tribune of Rome,
Marcus Numidius.
121
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,700
Hail, Crisippus! Rome leaves you
in the person of my fine uncle, Lucidius.
122
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:11,100
You, my dear!
Let me look at you.
123
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:12,900
What is old Lucidius doing?
124
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,200
Do you know what you brought to my mind?
125
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:19,700
the face of the girl we fought over
when we were young.
126
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Youth is not just a
matter of years. - Yes! Yes!
127
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:25,300
You will find out when the time comes.
Come on, Marcus.
128
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,700
Amira, princess of Armenia.
And this is Borcalla.
129
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:46,900
His advisor, and minister.
- Hail to you, mighty master!
130
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:50,400
Imperial Rome shines from its
eyes and I bow to it.
131
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,000
I fear he will break your spine.
Tell him to get up.
132
00:16:56,900 --> 00:16:59,300
You are witty and beautiful, Roman.
133
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,100
Two rare gifts that almost never
are found together.
134
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,400
This is a compliment I expected, but
It's always pleasant coming from a woman like you.
135
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,100
Don't you agree?
136
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,300
You don't get bored with surprises.
- That's why we'll get along.
137
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,700
And now all that's missing is the King.
138
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,400
Come and meet the supreme
commander of the Armenians.
139
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,800
I have already met the King:
I'm looking into your eyes.
140
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Osroe, king of the Armenians.
- Hail, oh King!
141
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,900
Hail, soldier!
142
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:56,100
Osroe! Marcus Numidius is not only
a soldier, he is a powerful Roman.
143
00:17:56,300 --> 00:18:01,300
So if he's a Roman, is he a friend, Amira?
- Yes. All Romans are our friends.
144
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:05,900
How long will you stay in Ctesiphon?
- That depends on you, you are the king.
145
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:08,700
We must withdraw now.
146
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,000
If you wish to see the king again,
Tomorrow night there will be a banquet.
147
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:16,600
I will be there.
- See you tomorrow, tribune. - Tomorrow.
148
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:19,700
Amira...
149
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,700
I didn't want to leave you without
look at you once more.
150
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:30,900
And you called me by my name.
A sign of friendship, Marcus Numidius.
151
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,100
Oh, Lucidius! The old fox.
152
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,700
He should have come too.
We would have made a beautiful trio.
153
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:51,300
Tell me the latest gossip. How is the old woman?
Rome these days? - Tedious. - Tell me!
154
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:55,100
Nesce's tavern is still behind
from the temple of Vesta? - Demolished.
155
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,800
The Emperor is cleaning up Rome, as he says.
Destroying old causes and building new palaces.
156
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,100
These crazes of modern times!
157
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,800
Excuse me, but there is something that
I don't understand.
158
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:09,200
Like a man like you, with your ties
in Rome do you live in the midst of this desolation?
159
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:11,300
Think of your uncle Lucidius.
160
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,600
In Rome, I would still be sunk in
same state of your mediocrity
161
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:18,400
In Armenia you disdain, for
On the other hand, I'm rich,
162
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,200
feared, respected, even considered wise.
163
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:23,800
What does Caesar have that I don't have?
164
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:28,200
We have the same enemies. But I have
the advantage of knowing who mine are.
165
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:33,500
I know they live outside these walls, but he
They have them as guests in their own palace.
166
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,500
We both have an army and a kingdom.
167
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:41,700
And I have more horses than I can handle
use, as well as slaves and servants.
168
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:46,200
And I also have my studio
and my gladiators like him.
169
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Look over there!
170
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:22,200
This is the great feast you
promised me? The palace is deserted.
171
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,400
Cannot be empty once
that you are here, Marcus Nimidius.
172
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,200
Isn't it better just the two of us?
173
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,300
You do not consider it dangerous if
Are you truly alone?
174
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:44,000
As you see, I am not alone.
175
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:49,500
I prefer you.
176
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:59,100
For a soldier there is no real enemy
if he is not mighty in battle,
177
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,800
there are no beautiful women on every street
and riches to bring home.
178
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:09,000
There is nothing like that in
Armenia except myself.
179
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,100
Should we keep talking?
- Yes.
180
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:20,600
Because when you return to Rome, you
He will tell his friends the old soldier's litany.
181
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,500
No. I don't want you to be
remember me this way.
182
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,700
Would you like to come to Rome with me?
A woman like you should try it.
183
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800
It's a curious invitation.
I'll think about him.
184
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Pomegranate!
185
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,900
One day I will tell you how I imagine her.
186
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,500
But there is much more here, I assure you.
187
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,100
Their patricians would not lose their heads
for a jewel like this one?
188
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,500
Look what I can do with this.
189
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:01,800
Ask, Marcus Numidius.
190
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,500
Ask for whatever you want and
Your every desire will be satisfied.
191
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,600
My every desire, Princess?
- Amira! Amira!
192
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,500
I don't feel well, Amira.
I called but no one answered.
193
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,800
You're right, Osroe.
You're right!
194
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,200
Tomorrow I will have the servants whipped.
195
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,100
A king should never be left
alone, should you?
196
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:25,800
A king is very important
even if he's little like you.
197
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,200
At just a few months old, he is already
he had sudden illnesses and fainting spells.
198
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,000
I have the flu, Amira!
- It's better that I take him to his room.
199
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,100
Will you wait, Marcus?
200
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,000
No, stay with me, Amira,
Don't leave me alone!
201
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,700
Maybe you should keep it, Amira.
Good night, King. Get better.
202
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:48,300
Good night, soldier.
203
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400
Stop here! I want to walk.
204
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,900
Return to the palace.
205
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,300
Ah, Lucanus! Walking too?
- Do you mind if I come with you?
206
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,400
Of course. Why do you want to come?
- I don't trust letting you go alone.
207
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:27,200
Why? - Marcus Numidius, here
in the East, it is like in an anthill:
208
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,900
you become aware of its existence
as soon as you step on one.
209
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I have never felt more peaceful
in my entire life.
210
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,900
At Ctesiphon, everyone outside
The palace has two faces.
211
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,100
You should meet them.
I would like you to meet people
212
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,500
like I do from time to time.
213
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,100
That's good advice, Marcus.
You should follow him.
214
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,600
Where are you going?
- Wherever you say!
215
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,400
What is this? - Things to sell.
- Just that little?
216
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,700
My garden doesn't produce much
but I'm happy anyway.
217
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,100
I don't even protest against the
government nor against the gods.
218
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,500
And I'm glad I can
live in this beautiful city.
219
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,200
Don't let him fool you.
He's lying.
220
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,200
Let me go! Help!
221
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:27,400
You're hurting me!
Stop!
222
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Skirt! Outside!
223
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:32,000
Why did you do this?
Why did they hit you?
224
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,200
They hate me because I work for
Chrysippus: a poor, ugly, Armenian dwarf!
225
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:39,200
If I don't find a rich man to help me
protect. - Don't worry, we've got your back.
226
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:44,600
My lord!
227
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:49,100
You are Roman, aren't you?
- Yes.
228
00:24:49,300 --> 00:24:52,600
Have you been away from Rome for a long time?
- Just a few days.
229
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,100
Have you ever heard of Tessus?
230
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,400
A young, tall, blond man.
He is my son.
231
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,100
Tessus? Well, what does he do in Rome?
- He's a gladiator.
232
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:05,700
They took him from me seven years ago.
And I haven't heard anything about him since.
233
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,100
Have you ever seen him?
234
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,300
No, I'm very sorry.
- Neither do you. Nobody. Nobody.
235
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,900
What is my life now without him?
236
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:22,800
And that's still nothing.
237
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:26,600
Now, I'm going to take you to a place where
you will see something different. Let's go.
238
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:32,100
I don't understand, people suffer
but they don't protest. - Come on, Marcus.
239
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Maybe you'll find your
answer within you.
240
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,300
You can't go in there! - Who said?
- If you get in, you won't get out!
241
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,300
Come back here!
242
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:23,200
High! - Forgive me.
The gods took away his reason.
243
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,900
I already said once to stop there.
244
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,000
They are quicker to fight a
with each other than in hurting ourselves.
245
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,300
You there! Roman!
246
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:43,500
Shut up!
- No, let him talk.
247
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,100
If you are looking for popularity,
248
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:50,800
you do well to look for it here.
These are the true people of Ctesiphon!
249
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,800
An unhappy people, as you can see!
250
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,200
You have brought us to this state!
See your nobility!
251
00:26:57,300 --> 00:27:00,600
What do you want?
To be released among his rebels?
252
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:05,600
And you think we should
receive like a famous conquering hero?
253
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:11,500
Do you hear that ovation?
254
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,900
Now, I will introduce you
some of the most enthusiastic.
255
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,100
You've already conquered crazy old Carabet!
256
00:27:19,700 --> 00:27:23,900
Another very happy to meet you: Teki,
guilty of having given one bag less of wheat
257
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600
to the men who demanded their tribute from him!
See that man with his hand in the air?
258
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:30,500
It's his way of cursing.
His name is Burdick!
259
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:34,000
They cut your tongue out
when he was 12 years old!
260
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400
And each of these men has a
different story to tell.
261
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,600
If what you said is true, I will show
to you the real meaning of Rome's justice.
262
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,100
But if it's not true, you'll regret it!
263
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,700
Come on, is Asclepius telling you the truth?
- Why do you think I brought you here?
264
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:03,500
Free all these men!
- Wait, tribune.
265
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:06,000
You are taking on a great responsibility.
266
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:08,500
I will not admit that our laws
Romans are poorly conducted.
267
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:11,200
And as for responsibility, I
I'm ready to accept it!
268
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:14,200
You heard what he said!
Carry out the orders!
269
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,900
How did they place you among women?
270
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Let me talk! You are fine with women.
They don't have to keep the dogs.
271
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Listen, tribune! Listen to that language!
272
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
What a shame, such a beautiful face
contains nothing but vinegar.
273
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,200
This girl...
I want it brought to my room.
274
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,800
It will be done. - I'd rather be whipped
to death here! - Silence!
275
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:11,400
The shepherd girl seems to be a friend too.
Why don't you free her too?
276
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:13,400
This way they can help each other.
277
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:18,300
If you have any design for me...
Ugly beast! You can forget it!
278
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,000
In fact, I...
- Women...
279
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:26,100
I like them a little more...
Do you understand? - Very good.
280
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:28,600
Bring them both to the palace.
281
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,900
Let me go! - Take care! You hurt her!
- I'm going to kill you!
282
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:46,200
Free all these women.
283
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,700
A strong man, entirely without ambitions.
- Good?
284
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:01,400
They tend to be honest.
You can never guess what they will do next.
285
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:06,000
Marcus Numidius is a soldier. What counts are
its important relations with Rome.
286
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:08,700
That's where your thoughts
fly, Princess?
287
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Rome is not Ctesiphon.
288
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,800
He invited me to go with him.
- Take care.
289
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:16,600
Rome will stain even a
beauty like yours.
290
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,000
It will destroy you with its indifference.
291
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:22,700
After a few months of success,
you will quickly be forgotten.
292
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:31,000
What you did is inconceivable:
release the prisoners.
293
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:32,900
Why do you think they were there?
294
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,800
I don't know. They hadn't done anything.
- That's what you say.
295
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,900
The discontented are like bad apples.
It only takes one to ruin another hundred.
296
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:42,800
Don't you understand that for 30 years
I've been languishing in this country,
297
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,700
building on the sand, playing a
Hatred game, factions and embargoes!
298
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:49,800
If a pebble from this construction
is touched,
299
00:30:49,900 --> 00:30:53,300
or even a small branch is removed,
everything will fall apart.
300
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,200
You know what would happen
if a revolt broke out?
301
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,500
You have a garrison that could contain it.
302
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,600
My garrison is useless except for acting
as my escort in official ceremonies.
303
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,100
And what about the 17th legion?
- It's three days' march from here.
304
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,400
It would barely be in time for us
render funeral honors.
305
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,700
What do you expect? Close the
my eyes and accept injustice!
306
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:15,900
This is a very mysterious country
and difficult to govern.
307
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,600
Here smile and hate mix.
308
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,000
Drink!
309
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,900
You first. - I?
- Yes.
310
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,000
In Rome we use cats for this
when we have suspicions. - Very good.
311
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Have you gone crazy?
Wait here!
312
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:48,800
See? It was poison and we were supposed to drink it.
313
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,000
Now do you see what the East is?
- I don't like your East, Chrysippus.
314
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:55,100
I'm going to make you change your mind.
315
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:59,200
A Roman gladiatorial display!
You will see how Asclepius fights.
316
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:02,200
But he is a rebel. Or you
kill an enemy or set him free!
317
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800
And why should I make one
Martyr or keep a rebel alive?
318
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,500
The death of a gladiator is the most
anonymous and the least provocative.
319
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:12,400
And then when you think
in it, it is the most appropriate.
320
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:14,900
Death as a spectacle!
321
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,300
Men who perish in battle
are wasted:
322
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,200
no one sees them dying alone
on a battlefield without spectators.
323
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:26,200
Believe me, the world will seem
It's different if you look at it that way.
324
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,000
Okay, Marcus.
I let you tame your little snake.
325
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:35,100
Just be careful, now that
you know it is poisonous.
326
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,300
I decided what to do with you.
- With me? No!
327
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,100
What did you expect? I decided
use you where you can be useful.
328
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,600
They told me you understand
of medicines, right?
329
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:52,900
Would you mind taking care
of a very sick child?
330
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,800
If it's a Roman child, no!
- Well, what if it's your king?
331
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,400
I don't believe you.
- Your eyes will believe it when you see it.
332
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Asclepius is strong and cunning. He can very
Well pass the first trial.
333
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:08,700
And ruin our plans.
334
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,600
If that happens, Bart, he won't
must leave the arena alive!
335
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,700
You can consider the man dead.
336
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,800
And you can consider this yours.
337
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:30,000
Osroe! You took all the medicine,
isn't it? - Yes, but it was bad.
338
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,000
I don't want it anymore.
339
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,900
You are beautiful, Zahar. I like
you. - Do you like it? - Certainly.
340
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,100
Take some of this.
341
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,500
Why Aunt Amira never
play with me?
342
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,500
Because the princess is
busy governing.
343
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:52,500
What does it mean to govern?
- Osroe! - To govern means to try...
344
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,500
Shall we play a little more?
- Please don't call me king!
345
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Marcus never says king.
Just Osroe or little boy.
346
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,200
I prefer it this way,
It means we are friends.
347
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,500
Osroe!
- Osroe!
348
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,500
Osroe!
349
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,300
Harmony! Eunay!
Careful!
350
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,500
Take him back to the palace.
Quickly!
351
00:34:31,700 --> 00:34:34,000
Why? This is monstrous!
352
00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:42,500
Harmony!
- What is it?
353
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,200
Osroe, the king! They are poisoning him!
354
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,300
What are you saying? Are you crazy?
- I have proof, I'm sure of it!
355
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:52,700
I need a special potion to save the
boy, it is necessary. You can help me!
356
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,600
I? I'm just a poor, ignorant slave.
- But you are allowed to leave the walls.
357
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
I'm being watched closely.
- Tell me what to do.
358
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:03,800
Do you know Zarbaszed? That old man who
collects herbs and makes medicines. - Yes.
359
00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:05,900
Tell him that I sent you and that I...
360
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,800
Ramnes! The rest is here.
361
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,400
Quickly! Make those trenches!
They are our only defenses!
362
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,600
Not a single Roman should escape or
we will have the entire legion on our backs!
363
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Asclepius and Bart, it's your turn!
364
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:02,400
I know your fame, Asclepius,
but mine is as big as yours.
365
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,600
Pray to your gods.
366
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:08,000
I won't lose today.
A lot of people bet on me.
367
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:12,200
And I will never betray trust
of Caesar and my new master, Chrysippus.
368
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,600
I'll chop your head off
in the third attack.
369
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,300
Good luck, Asclepius.
If you live, I'll see you later.
370
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,300
Why? What happened? Where's Bart?
371
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,700
I have included a slight variation in your
spectacle. I hope you like it.
372
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:16,200
But this is murder!
- Sit down!
373
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,100
A magnificent fight! Magnificent!
374
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:51,900
I needed a dead gladiator,
Amira. Not from a hero.
375
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,800
It's better that we go back
to hand-to-hand combat.
376
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:28,600
You murderer! Your skin does not
It's not even worth 100 sesterces!
377
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,600
Listen to those idiots scream.
Do you hear? They look for a carcass!
378
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,300
Still no sign of them.
379
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,400
Good?
- Nothing yet.
380
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,800
Why?
- You see, Marcus,
381
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,600
I talked to you about death like
spectacle. But Ctesiphon is not Rome.
382
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
All these men belong to me.
383
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,600
You are here. There is the sentry.
Be quick. - Wait for me here.
384
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,000
What are you up to, beauty?
- Games bore me.
385
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:09,600
So you decided to find
Another fun, right?
386
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:13,400
If you have a little time, Roman.
- I always have for a beautiful girl like you.
387
00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:15,900
I wonder how many
others you said that.
388
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:25,400
Let me go!
Let me go!
389
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,400
This way! Follow me!
390
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,900
Look! Look! He's going to kill him!
391
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:17,600
Why are you crying, Zahar?
You should be happy.
392
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:22,000
Asclepius is a rebel. - He's not a rebel!
He is one of your subjects!
393
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,100
A soldier who had to die
not by defending you, but by entertaining them!
394
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,500
Zahar! Wait!
395
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,600
No, Lucanus! No!
396
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:22,700
Asclepius! - Ramnes!
- You're safe. Your sword.
397
00:43:50,300 --> 00:43:52,700
Marcus! Marcus!
The governor is dying.
398
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:58,500
Look at them, Marcus.
They are the same ones you freed.
399
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,300
You're right.
400
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,100
Besides, it's good to die like one
hero in front of all these people.
401
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,700
I don't know who to blame,
but I swear to you... - The legion, Marcus!
402
00:44:08,900 --> 00:44:10,500
Only the legion remains.
403
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,300
Don't talk. I'll move you from here.
- It's late now.
404
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,000
Everything is getting dark...
405
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,900
Forward! Quick!
Follow me!
406
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,500
Get out of town!
407
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:32,700
Withdraw before reinforcements!
408
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:37,200
Quickly! Quickly!
Forward!
409
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,700
Let's go! Let's go!
410
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:53,600
Get these people out of here! Take care
from the army, I'm going to the legion!
411
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,700
Long strides!
412
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,200
Marcus, run away, it's a trap!
- Warn the legion!
413
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,100
So is it true?
414
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:07,100
Are you leaving?
- Yes, we are going: me and my gold.
415
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,100
Will you leave me at a time like this?
- It's the best time for it.
416
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,000
Without Marcus Numidius and the Roman legion,
Asclepius will tear us to pieces.
417
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:17,100
What a coward you are!
- Yes, and I don't deny it.
418
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:21,800
Well, if you don't want to accept the help
offered... - The Scythians?
419
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,500
They will come if you wish.
- And they will never leave.
420
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,900
I see that you have no faith in me.
And in my people.
421
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,200
Besides, they're so far away.
- Not as much as you would like.
422
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,100
Crashes!
423
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:38,200
Who is he?
424
00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:42,800
A man always ready to sell
enemies or enemies on request.
425
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,200
� Crawls. He can get
as many men as you want.
426
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,000
Enough to cover the plain,
Princess, as long as our pact is clear.
427
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,700
Each dead man will cost twice as much as the living.
428
00:46:53,900 --> 00:46:57,400
And the horses and mules...
- Payment must be in gold, Amira.
429
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,500
With certain guarantees that we
we'll call them... officers.
430
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,100
Is my word not enough?
431
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:07,400
Try to understand me, Princess:
There is a king in Armenia.
432
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:12,300
And Rome decides for him, now that
Governor Crisippus is dead.
433
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:14,900
Who will the Romans send?
434
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:18,100
Will he be your friend?
Or your enemy?
435
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:23,300
In the second case, little Osroe can
until he repudiates Princess Amira.
436
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:25,500
What about us?
437
00:47:25,700 --> 00:47:29,300
Who would pay us for our dead?
- Well, are you still undecided?
438
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:33,400
Asclepius is not a criminal looking
freedom. He's a rebel!
439
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,900
Who would like the throne of Armenia.
440
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:38,300
That throne could easily be ours.
441
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:42,200
The only obstacle to your
security and its triumph
442
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,200
It's just a boy.
443
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Take a good look around, Roman.
444
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,200
This is the last chance that
you will have to see the sun.
445
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,700
Stop!
Stop that horse!
446
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:41,600
Keep going! Untie him!
447
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:55,400
Do you still want to laugh?
448
00:48:56,300 --> 00:48:58,300
It's the only weapon I have left.
449
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,700
You are a cruel and dangerous man
for his own people.
450
00:49:01,900 --> 00:49:04,100
I was wrong not to kill you!
451
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,800
You don't talk about courage but about ignorance.
452
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:09,900
What do you know about me?
- Enough to get to know you.
453
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,100
You deserve the death that
Crysippus chose it for you.
454
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:15,400
The death of a slave!
455
00:49:16,900 --> 00:49:20,300
No, no, Asclepius! He freed the
Prisoners, you must not forget this!
456
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,400
What do you gain by killing him? When
he is dead, he will be of no use. - Still!
457
00:49:24,500 --> 00:49:27,400
You don't understand that it's just him
can you save us?
458
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,500
If the legion comes it will be
a terrible massacre.
459
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:33,900
And we won't have gained anything
as well as blood for our revolt.
460
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,400
Amira will certainly triumph
one way or another.
461
00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:42,200
Maybe this Roman will treat us fairly.
462
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,100
If you could bring him to our cause.
463
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:48,500
Let him go.
464
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:52,400
I warn you, you are wasting your time.
465
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,500
Wait before judging.
466
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,400
The destiny of a people is
at stake, Marcus Numidius.
467
00:49:57,700 --> 00:49:59,900
And you will hear us until the end.
468
00:50:04,300 --> 00:50:07,600
Why is it so dark?
Give me your hand. Light a lamp!
469
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:09,500
Help me get up.
470
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,400
You know I love you, don't you, Amira?
I love you so much.
471
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:16,700
And you love me too, don't you?
- Yes, Osroe.
472
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,900
I'm not afraid when
I'm with you.
473
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:22,600
Cold! As if it were winter.
Amira!
474
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,000
Take care of him!
475
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,500
Amira, I feel so cold!
476
00:50:30,700 --> 00:50:32,900
Call Zahar!
Let me see her!
477
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,700
I can't!
478
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,200
I can't take it anymore!
This thing I did is terrible!
479
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,300
If he keeps calling me
I'm going crazy!
480
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:44,000
Courage, my queen, a few
moments separate you from the throne.
481
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,500
It's time to end for good
this child's tears.
482
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:55,900
I hate him! I hate him for me
make you suffer so much! I'm afraid of him!
483
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:01,900
Osroe!
What happened to him?
484
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:05,900
He was very well. He was joking
when he suddenly began to tremble and moan.
485
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,300
We brought him here. - Why not
Did they call me? - Amira was with him.
486
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Bring Tyrian's ointment and a blanket
hot. And a jug full of water.
487
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,500
Zahar!
488
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,400
Is that you, Zahar?
I feel so sick!
489
00:51:20,700 --> 00:51:24,400
What did you take? What did they give you?
- Nothing, Zahar.
490
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:26,700
Osroe, I'm here.
491
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,300
Here next to you.
Feel my hands in yours.
492
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,600
Tell me a cool story.
493
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:36,100
That will make me sleep.
494
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:07,000
Call Amira, at once.
The king is dying!
495
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,300
Don't leave me alone!
I am scared!
496
00:52:16,100 --> 00:52:17,900
No, Osroe, I won't leave you alone.
497
00:52:18,100 --> 00:52:21,600
If the gods are kind to us, you will
have a good night's sleep and a happy awakening.
498
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,700
You must drink this now.
499
00:52:24,300 --> 00:52:25,400
Burn!
500
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:29,600
Why? Burn!
- Your life is being reduced to ashes. Drink!
501
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,700
Osroe! Osroe!
502
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,400
Help me! Don't leave me alone, Zahar!
503
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,600
Burn... burn!
504
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,300
And how old were you then?
505
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:55,800
17.
And since then I've done nothing but kill.
506
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,700
In all arenas of the empire.
A different man every day.
507
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,500
A complete stranger from behind
of an iron mask.
508
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,600
I got used to killing like a
sickle that hurts the grape.
509
00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:10,600
And then I met Ramnes.
510
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,400
She had been a slave
sold to Libya.
511
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:16,800
I'm from a village nearby.
512
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,400
One day Amira's troops
They came to our gates.
513
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,500
And we greet them with bread and salt
according to our customs.
514
00:53:23,700 --> 00:53:28,700
They burned the whole village. They killed
the old and deported the young.
515
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:32,200
That's when I escaped and that
I started the fight against Amira.
516
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:35,100
I didn't want our people
continue to sacrifice
517
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,400
to the whims of a corrupt woman
and a minister without Armenian blood.
518
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,800
It's terrible. I never believed
that things could be like this.
519
00:53:43,300 --> 00:53:46,100
Neither you nor Rome could know
what was happening here.
520
00:53:46,300 --> 00:53:50,000
But remember: justice is on our side!
521
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:53,700
Maybe I can still do something.
522
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,600
But you will have to have complete faith in
me, Asclepius. - What do you want?
523
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:00,100
Only one thing: my freedom.
524
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:03,300
This is a very serious request.
- I know.
525
00:54:03,500 --> 00:54:06,600
But it's the only way I can
I can solve your security and this war.
526
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,800
What are your intentions?
527
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,300
Speak to Amira with the authority of Rome.
528
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,200
I have more than one court
in Ctesiphon led by Lucan.
529
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,200
It will be enough to guarantee my decisions.
530
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,400
You think I can trust a
Roman who fought against us?
531
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:34,500
A Roman you convinced, Asclepius.
By my word and Rome's, I will not betray you.
532
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,900
I'll let you go.
533
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:48,200
But if you don't return in 3 days,
their blood will be on your head.
534
00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:51,600
Because I will kill them with my
own hands, one by one.
535
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,700
This is the sword of iron and gold.
536
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,900
Even so, may your reign
be powerful and prosperous.
537
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,900
This is the water of the sacred spring.
538
00:55:01,100 --> 00:55:03,700
Even so, clear be
his actions on the throne.
539
00:55:08,500 --> 00:55:10,800
This is the land of his empire.
540
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,700
Protect and defend her while
you live.
541
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:27,400
And that's the crown I place on
you in the name of the Armenian people.
542
00:55:29,900 --> 00:55:32,000
End this coronation, Father!
543
00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:35,600
Welcome back, Roman!
544
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,200
You may not know that the
King Osroe is dead.
545
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,300
I'm not talking to you but to Amira!
546
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:43,900
In the name of Rome, I command you
to leave this land and this throne!
547
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,400
I fear your trust in Rome
is somehow exaggerated.
548
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,800
I must assume all
responsibilities and powers
549
00:55:49,900 --> 00:55:52,600
until a legitimate government
be constituted!
550
00:55:53,100 --> 00:55:55,400
But my government is already legitimate.
551
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,800
It's not up to you to decide.
The following orders are mine:
552
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:03,100
the immediate arrest of Burcalla and his
exile! Let's end this farce!
553
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:07,000
You're right. Let's put an end to this.
But not in the way you would like.
554
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,500
The last scene changed.
555
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,700
Quotes! Arrest this man!
556
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:24,000
Poor Marcus, of all people
In your other gifts, you have that of inexperience.
557
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,200
Something very dangerous is in war,
whether in politics.
558
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,500
It's a shame. But I am
compelled to execute you.
559
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:34,200
You betrayed your own country!
560
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:36,900
You're going to argue with a
man who is dying.
561
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:41,300
You will execute it before dawn and you will
Hang him on the walls with an arrow in his chest.
562
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:44,200
It's a shame Asclepius didn't kill you.
563
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,400
In that case, we could have
gave you a nice funeral.
564
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,600
Are you not satisfied, Marcus Numidius?
565
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:57,300
Rome will be very happy to have a
new hero. And a new martyr.
566
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,500
Take him away!
567
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:02,200
Don't run it yet.
568
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,700
If things go wrong, we
We can offer his head in exchange.
569
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,300
Harmony! It's me, Zahar!
570
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:24,300
Hurry, open!
Open, for the love of the gods!
571
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,300
Zahar!
572
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,500
Are you here at this time?
What is it?
573
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,400
Marcus Numidius was captured.
Amira will kill him!
574
00:57:31,500 --> 00:57:34,700
As?
Marcus Numidius has been captured!
575
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:36,700
What happened?
- Lucanus is alive!
576
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:39,200
I kept it hidden here.
They would have killed him.
577
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,100
Marcus is in the palace. - What happened
with him? - They will kill him!
578
00:57:43,700 --> 00:57:46,300
What are you going to do?
- I can't abandon him!
579
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:49,900
But you are alone! - Send Zahar back!
Your absence should not be felt.
580
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,600
Lucanus is right. You better go now.
581
00:57:52,700 --> 00:57:57,200
I will follow the funeral to the tomb
of kings. Meet me there. Quickly!
582
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,200
So do you really intend to go?
- Yes.
583
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:05,000
Aren't you happy to get rid of me?
584
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,100
I'll be back, don't worry.
Weeds can never be killed!
585
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:18,100
Lucanus!
586
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:45,900
What are you doing here?
- The same as you.
587
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,700
Good. Go and draw a little closer.
588
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,500
Well, it's my turn.
589
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:35,900
7!
590
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:26,200
Let's go!
591
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,300
Marcus!
592
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,200
Marcus!
- Here!
593
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:39,200
I'm here, Lucanus!
594
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:04,300
He's dead!
- Hurry, inside the prison!
595
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,400
Lucanus!
Lucanus!
596
01:01:21,900 --> 01:01:25,100
Reinforcements are arriving.
- Is there any other way? - This way!
597
01:03:28,300 --> 01:03:31,000
Lucanus, come on!
- Yes!
598
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,200
Marcus!
You come through the eastern gate.
599
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,600
And I'm going this way.
It will be more difficult for them to take us.
600
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,600
Good. Where should we meet again?
- In the tomb of the kings.
601
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:07,200
In the osis of Akkerzhan.
- Right. May the gods help us!
602
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,300
Harmony!
603
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:47,000
See? I went back.
604
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,700
I never fail to keep my promises.
605
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,700
I want to leave with a smile.
606
01:04:59,900 --> 01:05:01,700
That's why I came back to you.
607
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,600
You must not cry.
- I can't help it.
608
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,000
If you love me, you won't cry.
- Love you?
609
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,900
I loved you more than
anyone in my life.
610
01:05:11,300 --> 01:05:14,400
See, we are sincere
in the presence of death.
611
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:16,700
You never spoke to me like that.
612
01:05:18,700 --> 01:05:22,400
I'm sure we would have a life
Happy if we could have stayed together, right?
613
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,200
We would have a house,
614
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:28,700
and children...
Beautiful like you and strong like me.
615
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:31,500
At night, sitting,
616
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:37,500
in front of our door, waiting for me.
It's tonight, Harmony.
617
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:41,400
See, Harmony!
618
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,900
I'm coming home... to you.
619
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:47,000
Here I am.
620
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,100
Yes.
And I run to your side when I see you.
621
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,000
You laugh and we start to fight
like we always do.
622
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,700
See? He breathes, he is alive!
623
01:06:04,100 --> 01:06:05,900
He's alive! It's alive!
624
01:06:06,100 --> 01:06:09,400
He is saved! The king is safe!
625
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:32,200
Marcus!
626
01:06:36,700 --> 01:06:37,900
Marcus!
627
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,900
See how simple everything is?
You love me.
628
01:06:53,100 --> 01:06:57,600
I don't know anything anymore.
There was always a struggle inside me.
629
01:06:57,900 --> 01:07:02,200
I should hate you. - But it's already done.
Now that you're right about us.
630
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:05,800
I have to explain
so many things for you.
631
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,900
But you were hurt!
- It's nothing. - I'll cure you myself.
632
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,100
My love.
633
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,600
Are you sure that the potion will really
work? - I have. Don't worry.
634
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,500
It seems almost impossible.
635
01:07:29,100 --> 01:07:30,100
Marcus.
636
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,500
Lie down here. You must rest.
637
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,600
Yes. I have to wait
until nightfall.
638
01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:44,000
I must triumph.
639
01:07:44,500 --> 01:07:48,800
If I don't call the legion in time,
It will be a massacre for Asclepius.
640
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
Yes, I will call you at sunset.
641
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,700
There's a long way to go into the night.
- Yes, Marcus.
642
01:08:07,300 --> 01:08:10,700
I believe in my heart,
I have always loved you, dear Marcus.
643
01:08:21,700 --> 01:08:23,100
Dear!
644
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:27,200
Zahar! There is a squad of Scythians
worth it below!
645
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,700
What if they come this way?
646
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:03,900
This way! Capture her!
647
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:35,900
Osroe!
648
01:09:37,300 --> 01:09:38,900
Marcus! Are you here?
649
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,200
Zahar was outside and a bunch of men
They grabbed her and dragged her away!
650
01:09:43,500 --> 01:09:46,900
Hurry, Osroe! We have to get to
Roman legion whatever the cost!
651
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,100
98... 99...
652
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,200
100.
- Correct.
653
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,700
This man looks at my gold
as if it were already his.
654
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,400
Would you rather let
Ctesiphon without protection?
655
01:10:34,500 --> 01:10:35,600
Stop!
656
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:40,700
Here is a beautiful prisoner.
- Let her in!
657
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:49,000
Well, she's Osroe's faithful friend.
658
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:14,100
Come on, try! Don't give up!
659
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,800
I can't go any further, Marcus.
I can't.
660
01:11:19,300 --> 01:11:20,900
Come! I'll take you.
661
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,100
Speak! If you don't want to be whipped!
662
01:11:43,300 --> 01:11:46,300
I have nothing to say to you, Princess.
663
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,000
This woman is not the queen of Armenia!
664
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:52,400
King Osroe is still alive and well.
Roman hands! - Is the king alive?
665
01:11:52,700 --> 01:11:56,000
And whoever betrays him will pay
for this betrayal with his own life!
666
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,200
Take this crazy liar away!
Don't let her talk to anyone! - Take her!
667
01:12:05,500 --> 01:12:07,100
The king is alive.
668
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,800
What do you suppose this means?
669
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,000
I think I can guess.
670
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:16,000
The legion is very far away and no one
says the Roman can reach her.
671
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,400
We do well to begin
eliminate our weakest enemy.
672
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:20,900
Asclepius?
- Yes.
673
01:12:21,700 --> 01:12:24,900
But we can't allow ourselves
the waste of strength.
674
01:12:25,900 --> 01:12:31,500
We will work so that Asclepius
come and surrender voluntarily.
675
01:12:47,700 --> 01:12:52,200
The best thing for us would be to go
away from here. You are free now.
676
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,800
Even if the Roman can solve everything,
677
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,800
it will always be better for you
avoid Ctesiphon.
678
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:03,100
What do you fear?
- A lot of people hate you.
679
01:13:16,700 --> 01:13:19,600
What's the problem?
- A troop of mercenaries!
680
01:13:19,700 --> 01:13:21,300
They're coming this way!
681
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:23,600
The Scythians!
682
01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:33,000
Are you the chief Asclepius?
- Yes, I am. What do you want?
683
01:13:33,500 --> 01:13:34,700
Do you recognize this?
684
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,000
What happened to the tribune?
- He's dead.
685
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,400
Speak!
- Osroe is dead too.
686
01:13:47,500 --> 01:13:51,000
Amira wants her end, Asclepius and everyone
the heads of the chiefs with you.
687
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:53,900
The poorest part of the city
It is surrounded by the Scythians.
688
01:13:54,100 --> 01:13:57,700
If you don't surrender, they will
burn it. Everyone will die!
689
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,300
But you must not go, Asclepius!
- Shut up!
690
01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:04,500
We are ready to die!
You must fight!
691
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,200
Quiet, dog!
692
01:14:08,100 --> 01:14:09,400
You have one day.
693
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,700
If you don't surrender, you will
see flames from the mountains.
694
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,900
Where are you going, Asclepius?
- To Ctesiphon.
695
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,300
I can't allow them
massacre so many people.
696
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,300
We will summon the mountain tribes.
- What can we try now?
697
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:47,100
Asclepius!
- Give that to my son.
698
01:14:47,300 --> 01:14:48,900
To remember me.
699
01:15:18,300 --> 01:15:21,000
No! He can't go to
die like this!
700
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:20,100
The tribune Marcus Numidius!
701
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:33,600
The legion!
702
01:16:44,100 --> 01:16:46,000
If I continue, I'll kill her.
703
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:52,600
I will burn you alive!
You saved the king but you won't save yourself!
704
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:54,900
Asclepius surrendered!
705
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:19,400
Quick! Follow me!
706
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,000
They took Asclepius!
707
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:42,500
Let's go! Block the road! Let's go!
708
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,500
Stop us!
Don't let them pass!
709
01:17:55,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Drive the jackals out of our
earth! Get out! Outside!
710
01:18:19,500 --> 01:18:22,500
The people revolted!
They released Asclepius!
711
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,700
Dogs! We're going to put an end to them all!
712
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,000
Forward! Forward!
713
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,100
The Scythians are coming!
714
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:45,600
Run away! The Roman legion!
Keesla is dead!
715
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:47,500
No!
716
01:21:49,100 --> 01:21:51,700
Stop! Stop!
717
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:54,900
Cowards! Stop!
718
01:22:00,300 --> 01:22:01,300
No!
719
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,200
No!
720
01:22:10,500 --> 01:22:12,800
Get off my gold!
- Come and get it!
721
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:14,500
Damn!
722
01:22:38,700 --> 01:22:40,900
No!
- Zahar!
723
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:49,600
Zahar!
724
01:23:17,300 --> 01:23:19,900
Beloved, why do you want
sacrifice yourself?
725
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:23,200
Because I still hate you, Marcus Numidius.
726
01:23:36,300 --> 01:23:37,600
Asclepius!
727
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,400
Marcus, I entrust Ramnes to you.
728
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,300
I trust my children and everyone
my people to you.
729
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,700
Only you can...
give them their freedom back!
730
01:24:16,900 --> 01:24:19,100
Let Rome pay honor to this hero.
731
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,000
Let him be buried as
the leader of his people.
