A NETFLIX SERIES

O Gods, show me your power.

For I will sacrifice
what is my most precious.

My firstborn.

Runa?

Runa!

What's so urgent?

The oath. Before the great battle.

I begged the gods to help me
avenge my family and to free my tribe.

That's good. So they answered you.

I promised them I would, um,

sacrifice my firstborn.

Tell me now what I have to do
to revoke this oath, please!

Runa!

Anything.
I'm prepared to do anything at all.

Anything?

To retract your oath?

You want to negotiate,

but the gods
don't settle for less than they're owed.

Anything?

The gods get what they want,
one way or another.

Ari is not to be trusted.

You know why he kneeled down
before you, don't you?

It was a trick.
A dirty plot to get your troops.

He's using the power
you already possess to do it.

Convincing you to solve the problems
with the tribes.

I can't abandon the tribes now.

Let's go home.

Let's not put our good relationship
with Rome at risk.

You kneel before the man
who sold you out to the Romans?

Stick together.

It was our best option.

And now we're supposed to
celebrate with them too?

At our home, in our village?

I had no other choice.

There's always a choice.

You Romans killed my brother!

I'm Segimer's son, Reik Ari's brother!
I demand respect.

Flavus! Uncle! Uncle!

Gaius.

You're okay.

Get out of the way!

- What are you doing here?
- I'm here on a diplomatic mission.

Can we talk in private?

A gift from General Tiberius.

As a token of his loyalty and... trust

in our new pact.

Hmm.

And a message.

For you. It's private.

What are you doing here?

He's under my protection.

Flavus is here as an envoy of Rome.

I don't want us to keep fighting.

Then what do you want?

I don't know anymore. What do you want?

A war with the Marcomanni?
That's what they want. The Romans.

They want us to destroy each other.

And that's why you kneel before Marbod?

- He thinks he can have peace with Rome.
- There is no peace with Rome.

And he'll realize that eventually.

And in the meantime,
what will it cost us?

What else needs to happen
before he realizes?

You're putting our future
in Marbod's hands.

I know what peace with Rome looks like.

I remember when your soldiers crucified
Folkwin's family in front of our tribe.

And when they crippled my brother
as I watched them!

And not far from here,

Dido is dying because of you.

And your brother's in that tent,
your traitor of a brother? As a guest?

Marbod as king of all tribes?

Peace with Rome?
Are you listening to yourself?

Give me a better solution, then.

Give me a better solution

instead of complaining about everything.

I'm sorry I don't have a better solution.

Of course you don't have a solution.

Because you have no idea
what it means to be the reik.

To be held responsible!

I'm a reik.

And when I have decisions to make,
I decide, and that's it!

I sacrificed everything, everything I had.

I left my son behind,
and I did that to liberate our tribe.

I don't think you have
a problem abandoning people.

Come again?

So you abandoned your son.

Just like you abandoned your tribe,
and just like you abandoned me as well!

Because you're a traitor!

Be careful what you say.

You betrayed your foster father!

And you led thousands of people
who trusted you to their deaths.

And who did you do that for?
For the people you betrayed today.

Be careful what you say!

I... I don't know who you are anymore.

Mother?

Thusnelda. Nice to see you.

So you're thieves now, apparently?

Yes. This is what I've become. A thief.

Thusnelda, please.
Let us rejoin the tribe.

Forgive us. Show you have a heart.

We're rotting in that cave,
and winter's coming.

Think of your brother. He's starving.

Then bring him here to me.

I can look after him.

I'll care for my brother

the way he deserves.

And you can come back to the village too.

The two of you don't need to starve.

Or steal.

And Segestes?

He's your father.

That's why I know him so well.

So I don't want him
tarnishing this village with his poison.

Your father will never allow

your brother and I to live here
while he remains in exile.

Then so be it.

It's your decision.

You know where to find me.

I didn't expect to see you again so soon.

Well, I'm glad you're doing all right.

Tiberius is smart enough to know
how important an alliance with you is.

I'm safe as long as
I'm under your protection.

Please get some rest.

My men will watch over you.

Thank you.

I'll be back soon.

Don't let anyone in or out.

They want you to kill Flavus

as a sign of your loyalty.

They'll agree
to all of your demands in return.

Tiberius knows that Flavus is a friend.

One sacrifice

for the future of your clan?

Our future, Marbod.

You'll make the right choice.

Dido.

Her spirit is on a journey
so that her body can heal.

Should I...

should I make a... a sacrifice?

Better to settle your old debts

before you go to the gods
with new promises.

O Gods,

I thank you for the victory
over the Romans

and the revenge for my family.

But what use
is the life of a small child to you

on your journeys through the forests
and the dark night sky?

Or the mere life of a nonbeliever?

I choose to renounce...

the life of my firstborn.

I banish him...

from my life

and...

from my heart.

And if it's a human life that you require...

then take mine.

Then take mine!

Mine!

Take mine!

Take mine.

United in peace. United in battle.

Thanks to our alliance with Rome,
we'll all be rich.

All of us.

War is expensive

and bad for business.

Where there's wealth, there's war.

My dear,

eventually, you too will realize

that not everything
Rome has to offer is dreadful.

Your husband, for example.

Rome isn't looking for friends.

Rome finds subordinates.

Because why should they share

what they can take by force?

Meat, anyone?

No, thanks.

This dagger is good.

A lovely gift from Tiberius.

For Flavus.

What does Tiberius want?

Come with me to the east.

I'll give you land.

You won't have to take orders from anyone.

Everything as we had hoped for back then.

I'm a Roman, Marbod.

And an officer too.

I want to get back from battle
and drink wine in taverns.

I want to walk along the streets

we used to walk along together.

Not just sit alone in a hut

as lord of a thousand swineherds.

So, that's how you see it?

Swineherds.

Everyone has a place
where they belong, Marbod.

Right.

Don't touch me, you barbarian swine!

I'm an envoy of Rome!

Try to have some fun.

The pork is good.

Well, I'm not hungry.

Then at least take this chance
to get drunk on mead for the first time.

I hate alcohol.

Flavus will take me to Rome.

You can go. You're free.

But before you decide that...

come with me to the Thing.

And what happens at this Thing?

We choose the bravest
of our young warriors.

Someone like yourself.

And we sacrifice him to Woden.

No, we...

We'll elect Marbod
as king of all the tribes.

And what would I do there?

I'd like you to light the Cheruscan torch.

It's a great honor.

Honor?

You hold your brother
captive like a beast

and speak of honor?

Rome tells us lies.

They tell us we're stupid and primitive.

And nothing better can happen to us
than to be subjugated.

Just like the Britons,
the Gauls, the Pannonians.

Rome is the wild beast
that needs to be brought down.

What is this?

It's a wolf's tooth.

A souvenir from my childhood.

Life is hard here, unadorned.

But I had a happy childhood.

And I also

want you to be happy.

Think about it.

Folkwin.

You... you asked me to protect my so...

Look after Thumelicus
if anything happened to you in the future.

I... I can't do that anymore.

Before the battle with Varus, eh...

everyone was ready
to give everything up, and, uh...

I was too.

What have you done?

I promised the gods
I'd sacrifice my firstborn.

I couldn't have known that... that you...

- If you so much as look at my son...
- I'll never see him again.

I've renounced him.

And offered my life to the gods.

I'm leaving all of this behind.

This isn't a threat, or this...

is, um, a good... goodbye.

This is goodbye.

Enjoying yourself?

I know the frustration

of finding yourself in inferior company.

Don't worry.

You're still young.

- You'll find your rightful place.
- Hmm.

My rightful place is in Rome.

- Flavus will take me there.
- Hmm.

I'm sure
you'll make it back to Rome someday.

You're a smart boy.

But I wouldn't be so sure
about your uncle.

What? Why would you say that?

Empty.

I'll grab another drink.

Flavus? Flavus!

- You have to leave.
- Gaius.

Our scouts see no signs
of larger troop movements.

And no Roman legions for miles around.

Yeah.

What might that mean,
my great prefect Arminius?

Hmm?

Come on.

Tell us.

Tell us!

Where are we supposed to fight the Romans?

In the village?

In the hut?

Or out there in the shit pit?

Oh no, wait. I've got it.

Here.

Here.

Here.

Under the table.

He laughs.

No.

We will never fight the Romans again.

Thanks to me.

I know what to do.

Music!

Why did you lock me in here, Marbod?

Tiberius is not gonna like...

...the way you're treating his envoy.

Tiberius.

Here.

Read it.

Read it!

He wants me to kill you.

Yeah, that's what he wants.

But you wouldn't do that.

Think about us.

Hmm?

When will you realize
you're throwing your life away?

The Romans are playing with you.

They're laughing at you.

They despise you.

Because you are one of us.

You're so foolish.

And so stubborn.

Rome...

doesn't want you.

Rome doesn't love you.

Marbod! Marbod!

What happened?

Flavus escaped.

Someone helped him.

Someone?

Who would have a reason to do that
other than you?

Divide and conquer.

Tiberius wants to sow discord.

Get some rest.

Tomorrow is a big day.

We'll meet at the Thing.

Gaius.

Come.

I'll take you to bed.

I'll...

I'll come along to the Thing tomorrow.

Come on.

I see a stud right here.

Can I follow him?

Yes!

- Let me show you a good time, honey.
- No.

I said no.

Hey! Who are you?

- Made a mistake.
- Get lost.

I apologize.

What the hell are you doing here?

And why is that head
still on your shoulders?

Because it will be more useful to Rome
on my shoulders than on a pike.

I'm here to make you an offer.

I will bring Tiberius
the heads of the reiks.

Tonight at the Thing,
Marbod will be named king.

All the reiks will be there. Unarmed.

And I can take you there.

And how do you know all this?

I got help from a true Roman.

Don't be nervous.

I'm not nervous.

I'm happy.

You're awake?

How... how are you?

Better. Still, no need
to smack me in the face.

Let's get out of here today.

Ansgar, that's enough.

Maybe everything will turn out fine.

Ari will proclaim Marbod king
at the Thing today.

What? Who told you that?

He laid his sword at his feet,
in front of his warriors.

What are you going to do?

We'll go to the Thing.
I'll talk to Marbod there.

He's a friend of Rome's.

He'll need leaders who know how
to talk to the Romans and negotiate.

Let's move.

Come on, faster!

- Ansgar, wait.
- I'm sick of this damn kid.

Ansgar!

Ansgar. What are you doing?

Let's...

- Oh! You're bleeding.
- Get up!

- Let's go!
- Leave him alone!

Get up!

Get up!

Faster!

Faster! Don't slack off!

Let's go. Come on!

He can't go on like this.

We don't have time.

You go on.

And you?

I'll take him to the Cheruscan village.
It's nearby.

Quick, go!

Hey!

What happened?

We saw Romans, so we came here to hide.

Did you defend your mother?

Dead men.

They were... The troops were heading west.

The Thing.

Ha!

Sometimes a bad peace

is better than a good war.

Reik Marbod, as a king,

will show us
what good peace with Rome looks like.

I don't believe in peace with Rome.

You hypocrite.

You went before Reik Marbod
and kneeled, Ari!

You've all experienced
what peace with Rome means.

And yet you still believe in it.

Marbod believes in it.

I don't.

I do stand by Marbod as king.

I stand by Marbod!

Not because I believe in the Romans...

but because I believe in us, that's why.

With Marbod,

we'll no longer just be Cherusci.

Or Marcomanni.

Or Marsi.

From today,

we'll stand side by side

as united tribesmen.

And the gods,

they shall support us.

And the Romans

will piss their armors to rust
out of fear.

Because from today,

we'll be like
one great nation against them.

The chains that they have shackled us with
have been broken.

And now, a mighty sword is being forged.

And Rome will tremble before our sword.

In war and in peace!
