THEODORA

'The slave empress'

In the year 547 the Byzantine Empire was at the height of its grandeur.

At the temple of St. Vitaly in Ravenna Justinian pays tribute.

Lord, your mercy and your righteousness let them shine like the stones of the imperial crown.

In these days of meditation my prayers are not the established,

include the Christian my engagement ..

my love and gratitude,

to all human beings,

so that Byzantium, the dishonest and luxurious, the misleading and mysterious ...

to unite with a strong love.

... The racing starts at the arena.

Gentlemen, the races are in honor the Emperor ..

Rich versus poor, Veneto against Green.

Long live the Greens!

Gentlemen, the winner of the fight will he was declared king for one day.

- Those with the Greens will triumph! -You are not going to happen.

To see, the Venets horses they are rich and fed better,

Greens are poor and their chariot can not withstand.

- Your horses, eat the dust ... - Your horses are moving fat!

Bet on Andreas, the head of the guard.

Bet on Arkalio.

- Will win. - Down, Arkalai!

His colors are the colors of the people, and the people bet on Andrew.

Make space for the captain of the guard, Andreas.

- An egg for my child, not for me. - Donkey money, no tears!

You are heartless. You do not see this the baby dying of hunger;

- Only one egg ... - Come come...

I'm leaving.

- Oh, you. What is going on here? - They challenged John Kappadokis.

- The eggs are expensive, sir. - I know.

"He was convicted because he did not honor Ioannis Kappadokis who was passing by ".

- Who pays my eggs? - Shut up! Do you want to go to jail?

No, sir. I will not say another word.

- Justinian is weird. - That's what I'm saying.

It was a very bad idea to get involved with such people.

I'll take out my sandals just to change them with new ones.

- Why did not you sell them yet? - I want but I can not.

- Everyone needs sandals. - Sandals cost ...

If I could sell them I would do it immediately.

Andreas is very strong. A signature on this board and you will make your fortune.

Bets on Andreas. Who bets?

They are strong horses, they have won wins ...

- Did you find him? - I'm looking for an hour, but I can not see him.

Open your eyes stupid! '' Long live Andreas! ''

"Long live the Venets".

Help me. The lanterns are strong but tired my eyes ...

- Oil is not the best .. - Seriously.

- I came to Byzantium to find a man ... - From Cappadocia!

Yes. From Cappadocia.

I looked everywhere, so I came here.

Go, go and throw a look with your time ...

I think it's a motel that writes '' Here was Byzantium ''.

The answer: "Yes, yes." Was here. Now where are they?

"As you can see does not exist". Here came a guy with a hood and he picked up everything.

Harbor, Homes, People, Roads, Churches and the Grand Palace.

I say: the Emperor's Palace. "What Emperor?", Asks the fool.

"There is no emperor". Pity...

You have seen a warrior who they call him Velissarios;

"Everyone is like a food that you can not digest ".

- Long live Velissarios! - Unrest is easy.

Rub your head to secure some wine still.

Forgive me.

The spirit comes from wine and the wine can come out very acidic vinegar.

Vinegar is her enemy society.

And it must be thrown into the sea to be cleansed.

You will not believe it, but the Venetians they care about the health of the Greens.

And to prove it, I will proceed with this action.

Hello!

- Hello! - Get him!

Hello! Here is Rhodes.

I welcome all of you ...

Theodora comes.

- Did you catch him? - Shut up, it's Veneto!

They call me Theodora. You?

You are so Beautiful!

What seasons! You seem to be gentle and you risk becoming a victim of robbery.

When I saw you looking for me, I thought that I have become involved with Justice.

- It was just a trick. - No. I'm a good girl, I do not give any rights.

I got what I wanted and my revenge.

- Who do you want to avenge? - The Venetian guards.

My father was guardian of the arena.

When he died he left behind him me and my sister without rights.

We are Green and we do not the rights of the Venets.

That bastard Ioannis Kappadokis he became the leader of the Venets.

Why do not you report it to the Emperor?

Where do you live? You think he can everyone to speak to the Emperor?

Maybe it's easier than you think.

I do not mind, even if my blood is boiling.

Tell me! In your city do you have beautiful women?

Beautiful as you, nowhere in my city, in Byzantium, in the world all.

It's wonderful...

I'm going to look at it in the mirror.

Front!...

- They are wild as mules. - Auriga, where is Arkalio?

- He's on the field. - Thanks.

Go ahead, Arkali.

Stop it.

- What are you doing now? - Nothing. I'm going to a race.

- Nice necklace! It suits you.

What do you make with this smoke?

The smoke and the ash will be for your sister what the stars do not say.

And what do they say? Life was not good with her.

She has gotten what she deserved, Think of it one moment.

- Now she just has to pay her! - What hate ...!

Look at the fabrics, are carried by Persia.

What beautiful, what color ...

The fruits that grow in Byzantine trees fall on your feet ...

- Fresh eggs - Vegetables ...

It's still fresh ...

- Always love! - Let's see who my favorites are.

Stamata Aegina ... Let me!

There is nothing for you, you are Venice. I'm afraid to your mother sitting in my chariot!

Leave with a bum!

Beware, seek for Theodora.

Front.

The best fabrics are mine.

I brought them from Crete. Why not buy?

It is worthy of a king.

- Iron from Italy ... - Fabrics from Crete ...

- Where can we hide? - Why not among the lions?

Make a good idea. Thanks sister.

- Go out, better. - Why do not you come get me?

That's what I will do.

Caution! The lions bite.

Capture the woman. Go ahead, are you deaf?

Swans maybe, but not blind!

- Come with me. - Me?

Yes. You.

Let's go.

Do me a favour. Take your hands from me.

I do not want you to arrest me! Let me!

Send this thief to jail.

I'm forced, here we have a crime.

God, what disgust ...

The Greens are crazy.

It's a tremendous price for this court,

that the respected emperor guided by God,

captured in person the first place in our audience.

He called the first accused.

What are you?

I'm the lawyer of Scarpius, advocate of all accused persons.

I am Skarpius, son of Nikita free citizen ... for the time being.

I was free as the deer in the sphere but now I'm involved here ...

without knowing why.

The survey revealed that Scarpios, in a tavern in the harbor ...

has recited customers to hint against John Kappadokis,

your most respectable minister.

Again, even in Your majesty, O Emperor.

Offense very serious and without mitigation.

- Are there witnesses? - Useless.

I was taken to the ground. The rest have already confessed.

Did they? I will tell you more. It was five people for an hour,

admitted their participation in organizing ...

who murdered Caligula! Having made diarrhea as a newborn.

Mercy! Do not listen to him. My client is crazy.

I know him from a young child, he always had this mania ...

He has already repented, I beg you, forgive him!

For the serious crimes he committed, Skarpius has been convicted by the judges ...

to two years' imprisonment and a week in the cage of shame.

It is a very severe punishment for such an act.

Thanks to the courtesy court ...

and to the most eloquent lawyer that I have heard.

Take it!

The second accused.

I promised a surprise to you Justinian. Behold!

I am Theodora, daughter of Aegina.

This woman came to the market to steal a noble necklace.

Andrew, head of the guard.

- Do you have a lawyer? - NO I have not. I am innocent.

My necklace was given to me by the young nobleman in a very spontaneous moment.

- In return for what? - For nothing. Not even a kiss.

- What generosity. - He was a real gentleman, a good governor.

Definitely a commander or a young judge.

- Apparently she deserved an expensive necklace ... - It's a devilish creature!

Enough. Judges do not interested in details.

Stop it. We are an instrument of Justice, not a pawnshop.

Women who cause men they are sinners and do not deserve grace.

- All prostitutes, idolaters, deaf. - I'm not a whore!

The nobleman did not want anything from me.

He must be punished with stricter legislation.

Delivering justice!

The court orders: Theodora, daughter of Aegina, to be thrown into the beasts,

will be closed for a day in the cage of shame and cut his right hand.

Better take my head, I prefer death.

I am burning in a great fire. I can not to resist plagued creatures ...

- I follow her like a dog ... - Still thinking about it?

- Every moment of the day and night. - Why did not you go and meet her yet?

- I want it with all my strength! - But do not be ashamed!

I need her. I'm enchanted.

I tried to get rid of it. But everything is suppressed by desire, everything.

It is above my strength. But I condemned her unfairly ...

My passion was transformed into remorse.

- My cowardice has manipulated me. - And now what are you looking for?

- What help do you ask the Church for? - I believe in divine mercy.

God made you Emperor because you are the symbol of his doctrine.

This sacred duty forbids blasphemous injustice and goodness.

- Let my Father forgive me. - Your passion is more powerful than your repentance.

- The Emperor asks you to forgive him. - I do not forgive.

At least until your repentance to prove true.

For God words do not mean anything.

Take this woman out of your heart and you will be freed from remorse.

If you meet her, to discard it steadily.

Only then will you pass the exam.

Let me! I am innocent.

Aid...

Do not Cry. Do not despise me good, not a panther like you is caged!

Do not hurt me please. I have thin hands.

By order of the emperor, they will be emptied the arena, the hippodrome and the streets.

Traditionally, the Venets will stand right and the Greens on the left.

No one to approach the Palace, from the exits connecting to the Hippodrome.

The Executors will defend themselves the integrity of the Emperor.

Look, Justinian. The Greens are very strong.

Athletes in their complete form.

No athlete can win without the support of his supporters.

She forgot that Justinian woman. It's not worth it.

He looked at Andreas. It's super.

Everyone has them from a chariot. to rule it.

I would have liked sports rather than government concerns.

- You will love the quadruped chariot. - Yeah, I guess.

- What does the crowd say? - The crowd;

The crowd loves strength and flexibility and is pleased with athletes.

Andreas.

The Fourth of Justinian.

Justinian. I'm Arkalio. Tomorrow I will I drive the chariot for the sake of the Greens.

- So what; - Yes, I'm traditionally entitled ...

if I win, to ask for a favor for her my fiancé, Theodora.

- Are you sure you will win? - I will do miracles for the woman I love.

This man is right. I have committed a terrible injustice.

I lost a pleasant woman.

- What a price, John ...! - Where is Theodora?

- Theodora? - Yes, the dancer.

Please show mercy. The prisoner is no longer here.

How;

- You killed her? I'll take your head! - No, she's alive. He left with the guard.

Glazed iron.

Justinian. Show mercy. I'm innocent.

Mercy, Justinian ...

This morning a prisoner bustled him. This man was blinded by the gleam of gold.

The flame will ruin forever your eyes.

Torture is an example to those who do not show respect.

The gazelle went right ... On the left the gazelle ...

Who will get it in his hands ..

Who will get it .. The gazelle went ...

- Arkali. - You;

I. Why are you surprised? I was out and I was expecting you.

I was afraid as long as I waited for you.

You; They feared? How did you get it?

I have nice legs, right? They can and run.

The guard had a weakness in my bracelet.

I hope he did not win your favors.

Do not imagine how scared I was to lose you.

You have to move away from Byzantium. It is very dangerous.

- No, I'm not afraid. - Cross the Bosporus towards Asia.

- Asia is a long way off. - You'll never be far enough.

- I'm not leaving. - Justinian will make you arrest.

- I would not mind. - You have an appetite!

- This time you'll lose your head. - I do not think so.

- If you continue it will be suicide. - At least this time I'll know.

- You still have chain marks. - Souvenirs by Justinian.

- It should cost you dearly. - Yeah. And I still have red marks.

This time he won, but he will my turn the next time.

You are very excited baby, you do not know what you are saying.

- Keep your pity, bastard. - I want nothing more than you.

Damn you if you think she will win with your muscles and your nice eyes.

- Thunder. Now I understand them all ... - What do you think..

- You want to stay in Byzantium for a lover. - Well done. You understand well.

So that is how it is; Perhaps it is he who help escape. An employee.

- Andrew; - That fuck?

I would prefer to cut my hand! Bring me wine, I'm thirsty.

- Theodora? - What is;

Nothing. I thought I heard noise from horses.

Who knows what you got now? in your head.

Your drink.

- Good. - Authentic Italian wine.

Strange, I feel confused ...

- It's fatigue. - Suddenly I'm sleepy.

Sleep.

- Sleep, it is not. - Theodora, I've been poisoned!

No, of course, not. I love you very much to do this to you.

Come on, sleep.

It was silly to allow that. Justinian to fight ...

But he is very young.

And he seems to be able to compete in the arena with champions?

The emperor has brilliant predecessors. Nero, for example.

Nero? A sad example.

Sad and your lack of confidence to me, Patriarch,

As it turned out, your opponent there is no hurry to cope with you at all.

I think he is sure of winning.

Signal! Solve the horses.

Andrew, why do not you drive the chariot? - I left it to a friend today.

- And our bets? - Psychedelic. My chariot is in good hands.

- The emperor. - Yeah.

- Justinian will triumph. - It is a glory that passes quickly.

Fortunately...

- And who took the position of Archkai? - I do not know. Who is an opponent?

- She's a woman. - As it seems.

Theodora ....

It's about my daughter! Theodora.

Theodora...

Well done!.

And the last round ...

You should not have done that, Theodora. I was shabby all over Byzantium.

Do the Greens trust you? very much;

Undoubtedly. What reasons did you have can you do that to me?

It's so important to you to sit on the imperial table?

Nothing has changed, I always love you like my brother.

What you did was crazy. They will not leave you unpunished.

- The Emperor knows how to wait. - Leave me!

- Help her get free. - No need!

Let me! Cursed bitch!

In the name of the Emperor I challenge you at dinner.

I think you will want to be groomed to come to the ceremony.

Follow me to my palace and you will you have what a princess needs ...

- ...the evening. - I follow you, my lord.

Tell me John ... I give you permission.

Time has passed, but things have not changed.

My mirror.

I'll help you get out.

- How your eyes shine. - It's makeup, John.

Catch me the comb.

You 're there.

You are born to order. I immediately realized that we would become friends.

I am where I led him Justinian in court.

- Thank you so much for that. - I would call it a change of attitude.

Me too, of course.

Prepare the dress with ivory in the chest.

I hope they are worthy of your beauty.

- I like you. - Do not touch me.

- Do you reject my favor? - Stop before I speak to my protector.

- Do you think he will come tomorrow? - Who knows;

- Be careful, he's very strong. - Maybe that's my weakness.

You are not just beautiful but also smart.

The time has come to find out.

Gold sandals. I would prefer red.

Only empresses wear red sandals.

- I'm not a queen? - Yeah. Of beauty.

The Commander with the dancer Theodora.

A Green among the Nobles. I do not think it will remain for a long time.

Here is our Queen.

Go ahead.

- Do not you like food? - I do not want to like it.

Look. It's thick like a whale.

Snape! He is the cousin of the Emperor.

Let her say. He is right. Welcome, Theodora.

Keep your honesty, fits your beauty.

The Oriental Girls it's like drugs.

Indeed, they always win play with us.

- Street games ... - And the palace.

- Who are these pearls for? - For my guests.

Not for the partners, but for the artists.

Yes.

They criticize the Venets, but they would kill for a pearl.

We found this man in the basement of the palace.

I know him. He is not with me beg for a test?

The beauty of this woman is very dangerous.

The beauty of Theodora can not to justify him for his actions.

To be punished. No one is allowed to breach the entrance of the palace.

Arrest him!

What punishment awaits him?

- Death. - That's more worth it to me.

- I wanted to kill, not you. - There is no other punishment for such a man.

Your life is of great value and do not be an empress.

- Let me. - What's up; Do you love him more?

I want to live.

I will give him life. Do you swear that you love him as a brother?

The misunderstandings between us are as much as the salt of Asia Minor.

- Let me. - What else do you want now?

I can not stand it to me you face as a partner.

I'm not a Christian, but I know well your religion.

- What do you know; - I will not be yours if you do not marry us.

To bend the head, it does not always mean you have failed.

It is a victory to proclaim your love before God and people,

subtending with flexibility in front of a woman's face.

I got a great victory. The love of my people.

Open the gates for General Velissarios.

Long live Velissarios!

Long live the winner against the Persians!

Price I meet you today, afterwards my return from the Persian War.

In fact, I did only my debt, like my soldiers.

Unfortunately, many have fallen.

At this point, our supremacy is rather military, not arithmetic,

but it can secure peace at our borders, with the barbarians.

The few who have stayed, will hardly undertake new campaigns ...

we need aid to we defend Byzantium.

It's true what you say, Bellissary, but our funds are now licensed.

- We have no money to pay mercenaries. - But we have strong men for war.

They will be paid in a more expensive currency.

What does this mean; In what currency do you say?

A currency that does not pass through from state funds.

- Freedom. - Freedom;

What freedom do you mean Theodora?

We demand the release of slaves patricians to fight the barbarians.

I think many would risk their lives for such a price.

The patriotism of the Byzantines will increase after this lenient act

of the empress.

I'm sure that many of them Venets will be happy ...

and will prove it the interest in their homeland ...

alongside their personal interests.

My proposal has to be put forward implemented as soon as possible,

and my wife Theodora, with all its good intentions ...

will present my plan.

For the first time a general amnesty will be given and new codes of justice will be ratified ...

Remember the virtue of charity is not synonymous with weakness ...

and we will be hard on the other side to the enemies of Christ ...

As you see, not everyone loves me, Velissari.

Only the wicked are against you, Theodora.

But you know how powerful they are ...

I know one thing:

Some people incite revolt at our borders.

As long as our army is far off, the City is vulnerable to conspiracies.

I have no illusions, John has the power for such works.

- Let's see when he gets up. - He will dare, but he will not succeed.

- I wish you had your confidence Velissari. - I will make a decisive move.

Now that the enemies have been weakened, I will install my camp here.

Throughout the Bosphorus.

A sign will be enough for them my soldiers.

- What sign? - A long smoke ...

to look away ...

While our army is struggling to increase our lands ...

and protect us from raids barbarians, we need mental power,

since party struggles they divide the people despite the victory ...

along with religious heresies.

It is necessary to become like a wall around the Emperor,

with love and devotion.

The Venetians and the Greens united for a common purpose.

In the name of peace and union of the Eastern Empire with the West!

That day our troops will reach Africa and Italy ...

and at last Byzantium will inherit Rome.

The vision is very big and ambitious to make it feasible.

But remember that there is nothing impossible for such people ...

that glorify the papal love and abolish slavery.

I am happy on this occasion for the wisdom of my husband ...

your empress, with which we are celebrating today ...

the fifth anniversary of a happy marriage.

Did not you appreciate my speech? My love, can you suggest ...

- ... plan for five years. - Why do you say this;

As long as I was talking, your eyes were staring around the throne ...

The moment of my speech, is considered more than anything ...

as an indication of reciprocity of our confidence.

If any thoughts torture you, you have to confess it to me.

- You do not hide a secret to me? - No, I've never kept you secret.

My happiness is so great sometimes I think I do not deserve it.

My soul is suddenly sad and afraid that our love may collapse soon ...

- Sad thoughts about a beautiful day. - You're my life, Justinian.

I must admit that at first it brought me the ambition.

What a strange thing! You brought me to you the ambition, and my passion.

I saw only a wonderful creature ...

I never guessed that I will share my life with you.

Do you remember? We disagreed with it just the terrace ...

and then the miracle happened. Day by day I knew you better.

The Nazis gave their place to an inexplicable tenderness.

Those next to you, learn it, not only are they honoring but also cheering you ...

But the responsibilities of power are heavy.

I love you, regardless of ambitions. From those ambitions ...

which would give you more glory.

I mean, my friends. The Emperor betrayed us.

He refused most of us our holy right.

Let no man lift his hand on that woman.

It's a gypsy! It is much more helpful alive, rather than dead.

Theodora, a victim of the Venets. Victims of the Nobles.

What a symbol! Friends.

We recapitulate. He will be a Green who will kill his like-minded.

No sense can be compared with five years in the Anatolian mines ...

feeling that each of you knows her very well ..

This man is now in the capital and only one wants.

Take revenge inside Imperial Palace.

You do not think it's right man to open the gates?

Bring him here.

Arkali! How glad I am seeing you again!

- You have not changed at all. - So you think!

You do not know I have turned away from hate. Now you will regret the 5 black years!

No, Arkali. I am not afraid of you. I know you well.

- Come on, get it here! - I can not.

- You see; You are always weak. - Shut up!

- So you wanted to kill me! - Theodora, why did you refuse me?

I needed Arkalya, I was born with that destiny.

Yes; You were born to swim in luxury?

I learned to appreciate good fabrics, perfumes, jewelery.

- To sell them? - It's hard for me to understand.

I gave Justinian the most valuable dowry!

- Which; - The heart of the people.

The emperor does not have to go out roads to ask the opinion of the people.

Here is the people, beside them, all the time. Theodora is called.

I am the people's hope, Arkalye.

For Aegina, Skarpius, for all Greens.

Now I understood them all.

Everyone has been shot. And God me too to protect the people.

How sorry I was, I was so stupid! And I played the game of Venets.

- What does this mean; - Andreas, he set up guard outside the gates.

Yesterday evening I attended a meeting under the chairmanship of John.

- Are you sure what you say? - As I'm sure I'm here.

Save Yourself Theodora, I'm clear!

These hyenas do not know what awaits them. I will crush them!

How powerful are you! How much I love you!

I love you too. No, Archia. You are brave.

We are so different as long as the Earth with Heaven.

I love you, but it is one another kind of love.

No, Arkali. Do not tempt me. Momentary weakness is an enemy of victory.

- Can you love me like a brother ... - Yeah. Go now, almost dawn.

Guards! Arrest him!

- Find him! Find him. - No! He's innocent, Justinian.

- Do not touch me, I'm sorry! - Listen to me! I am begging you.

Arcalio came to warn me that the Venetians are preparing a coup.

I do not believe you.

I tell the truth Justinian, the Venets want my life, your life!

- Believe me. - You are lying.

- It's definitely your idea. - No.

You do not look happy, Snakes. What are you thinking;

I want new shoes and a necklace of white ruby.

- Think seriously. - Do you want to walk with bare feet?

It would be a bad sight. They would look for cheap ...

- You are vicious and corrupt. - That's why we fit together.

I had 4 months to find out you are neither generous nor virtuous.

The virtue of the woman is fed only with the money.

If you continue to neglect me I will no longer be available soon.

A little while left, Snakes, and soon I will

the happiest woman in the Empire.

Excuse me, master.

- What is; - The senator from Smyrna wants to see you.

Our project failed. Arkalio he did not have the courage to catch the dagger.

- Colonel; - The guards left.

- Did he talk? - I do not know.

Sooner or later they will discover us. It's a matter of time.

We need to take the initiative. Note before it is too late.

- What happened; - Nothing.

You have 10,000 sasters, can you afford them?

What can I do for you;

Nothing special. To lie a lie. You can do it wonderfully.

I told you the truth, Justinian. How can I convince you?

Your stories will not make me forget the man I saw in your arms.

I swear, Justinian! I am your wife, for me there is only you.

Stop the gypsy comedy.

I was crazy to believe in your love.

I was a fool that I thought was not you are close to me only by ambition.

Warm me as much as you want, but please, please save yourself.

You will not be able to deceive me with your words again.

- Speak immediately! - Excuse me, Justinian.

A group of Venets invaded the Palace under the guidance of Ioannis Kappadokis.

That; Cursed traitor.

We are willing to give our life, but for God's sake, protect yourself.

Your own life is the most valuable.

What you have offered me was invaluable.

Go.

Theodora do not worry. I'm no longer sad.

I will pay with my life my doubt about your faith.

Death will be sweeter.

- Theodora! I want you to forgive me. - I love you.

We will not leave the Byzantium, right?

I do not want to be the emperor who left hunted like a dog to not become a slave.

- How proud I am for you. - I will choose death, despite the exile.

Not everything was lost, Velissarios is very close.

Soon he will arrive here to save our life and our dignity ...

Believe me..

- What are your orders? - I do not have an Emperor Order.

If I am still an emperor I will send you to jail as a conspirator.

I'm not a conspirator. I am your faithful follower.

We are under your authority and your influence.

- What are you involved with? - I'm talking to you about our interest ...

The Empire. All the principles is with you, Justinian.

Yes. All officials.

All of them wrapped in mantles and full of privileges.

Bloody in axioms and in gold.

Andreas, commander of the senate. Judge.

Grand legislator. Yes, you are all.

You talk like a fool, not like a king. These words you say fit into one of the people.

- Are you impersonating Theodora? - You have declared your caste for the sake of a folk.

- Justinian, she is submissive to her. - The Empress and I are the same person.

There's nothing in common with you.

She plays with you. He betrayed you with the most vulgar.

Proof. I need you to give me proofs.

Speak.

The time we talk, the Greens lined up with Arkalio in the arena.

- The Empress will be with them shortly. - We're here because of the shame.

We came to save your life. Will not you please?

- Proof. I want proof. - Nothing easier.

Please. Do not touch me. What do you want to do with me?

The time has come for you to say the whole truth, Snakes.

- No, do not make me speak, I beg you! - Take the sacred oath and tell the truth.

Swear. I was still a girl when I loved Arcalio. And that's me.

He swore to be mine forever.

Then Theodora was jealous of my happiness, he stole me.

I begged her, I asked her, but he did not hear me.

She defeated her passion ... Then, Arcalio was arrested, sentenced ...

Theodora became empress.

And for years, I just hoped return from exile will become mine ...

He did not resign, he started to look for her in the palace ...

And my sister, she did the most hated sin in the world.

She did so with her guilt the holy walls of the palace.

With a dominant role the senses of ...

he betrayed with her husband Arkalio, inside the conjugal bed ...

Hidden in the beginning, shamelessly later.

Nothing I could do to prevent it ...

Besides, I heard her say he would he killed the emperor to ...

he brought Arkala to the throne.

- You heard it; - Silence!

- Silence. - They come from Propontida.

They assassinated Comrade Micla. Sapir declared a military law.

At the port, a body is formed to start the attack.

The Venetians have the applause the Emperor.

- Yes, the emperor has fled us. - The empress betrayed her people.

We are in great danger.

But they will not be so easy to escape.

The Venetians are smart.

Friends.

Friends. Ioannis Kappadokis took your power ...

He detained the Emperor. He tries to neutralize

the leaders and patrons of the people.

Both I and Justinian, we could quit.

But the Byzantine people will not tolerates subjugation.

The army of Velissarios is located on the shores of the Bosporus.

We agreed on a signal. When you get smoke from the arena ...

you will immediately see help coming.

The Venets will not defend the Arena and they will drop it from underground roads ...

we will fight until the army of Velissarios came.

Fire and ashes!

You were right. Look at an error I did.

We will need help to to appease the rebellion.

We will find Theodora, I swear. I'll look around the city ...

in all the villages, throughout the Earth, if needed.

Quickly in the stables. Horses will hinder them.

Go.

See.

Tobacco. Conduct the army now. Do not miss a minute.

We have to help Arkali. Call others.

- Let's go. - No, I will come with you in the last battle.

- What; - You have to see it, come on.

- Release the beasts. - Hurry up ...

- They were fortified in the basements. - Destroy them!

- They killed Arkalio. - Stop.

So much blood!

Arkali ...

Goodbye, Theodora. No cries. Not prices.

I always said it. I did not just ask.

Arkali! My brother...

Your faith preserved Byzantium and my love.

- Corrupt. - This is your wife.

Justinian. They killed Arkalio.

- They're monsters! - Stop!

It's yours, John.

Justinian!

Velissarios comes.

The legions of Velissarios.

- Why did you come to Velissari? - To save your throne Justinian.

- What command? - By order of the Empress.

I knew about betrayal against you, I only waited for a signal from the Empress.

My powers will overthrow this bastard.

It's not true.

- Tell me it's not true. - Let me!

No no...

Theodoras' treachery with him Arkalio was a lie? Do it!

Yes, it was a lie. I hate you, Justinian.

I always hated you. I risked everything what you have given me:

Strength, support, glory .. I, John Kappadokis,

I had every skill to reign. Exuberance, genius.

A servant who lived in your shadow. I hate you.

Guards! Hook it up!

No. Let me.

My spear!

Long live the Emperor!

For the first time in my life, I doubt you, Lord.

By abandoning Theodora I lost everything my sovereign right. Mercy.

I'm looking for a mercy from you today, Lord.

I appeal to Your kindness, I ask for your divine blessing ...

and I promise loyalty to my husband, the Empress.
