1
00:00:15,933 --> 00:00:17,059
[crowd jeers]
2
00:00:17,226 --> 00:00:19,562
[screams]
3
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:22,815
[Achillia] Who claimed
his fucking life?
4
00:00:22,982 --> 00:00:26,068
[Ashur] A Scythian.
She does not carry a name.
5
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:27,570
Celadus fell to a woman?
6
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,530
He would not have wished this-
7
00:00:29,697 --> 00:00:32,700
you and I standing
in constant opposition.
8
00:00:32,867 --> 00:00:35,244
I would see aid given Achillia.
9
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:37,037
We must be secure in knowledge
10
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:38,956
that you are protected
from those
11
00:00:39,123 --> 00:00:41,834
who would see you
toward disadvantage.
12
00:00:42,001 --> 00:00:45,087
- Speak of Uncle Servius?
- He looms, but one of many.
13
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:47,214
[Ashur] If Pompey's allowed
to marry Viridia,
14
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,925
he will forever be aligned
with Gabinius.
15
00:00:50,092 --> 00:00:52,762
You intend to remove
Gabinius from the Senate?
16
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:55,347
No. I intend to remove him
from fucking life.
17
00:00:55,514 --> 00:00:57,808
[Tarchon yells]
18
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:00,478
[Gabinius] Have her bathed
and sent to me.
19
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:02,521
[Ashur] Hilara, assist
20
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:05,357
towards urgent matter.
21
00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:07,568
Did you call upon me to--
22
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:09,528
What is this fucking shit?!
23
00:01:09,653 --> 00:01:11,071
Send word to Crassus
24
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:14,533
to discuss granting him my
full support in the Senate!
25
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:16,410
[shouts]
26
00:01:16,535 --> 00:01:18,245
I did not mean for this.
27
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,207
[rasps] Viridia will know
28
00:01:21,332 --> 00:01:23,250
the man you truly are.
29
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:24,168
No.
30
00:01:24,335 --> 00:01:26,629
She will! [groans]
31
00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:29,590
[screams]
32
00:01:31,217 --> 00:01:35,513
[intense vocal music]
33
00:01:41,352 --> 00:01:43,646
[somber music]
34
00:01:45,397 --> 00:01:47,817
[woman sobs]
35
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:49,693
[bells chime]
36
00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:02,832
[soft indistinct chatter]
37
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:11,882
[somber string music]
38
00:02:15,678 --> 00:02:18,514
How does she fare,
your daughter?
39
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:23,352
As one who has seen
heart torn from chest.
40
00:02:24,979 --> 00:02:26,730
I cannot believe he's gone.
41
00:02:26,856 --> 00:02:29,775
[woman] His death severest blow
to the Republic.
42
00:02:30,401 --> 00:02:32,319
Such a tragic loss.
43
00:02:34,071 --> 00:02:35,698
Know that I am here
44
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:37,867
for both of you.
45
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:40,703
[tense music]
46
00:02:42,913 --> 00:02:44,874
Sentiment embraced
47
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:47,334
as intended.
48
00:02:49,295 --> 00:02:50,129
Ah,
49
00:02:50,296 --> 00:02:52,381
Caesar and Cornelia appear,
50
00:02:52,548 --> 00:02:55,259
dispelling darkness
with welcomed light.
51
00:02:55,676 --> 00:02:56,802
Cossutia.
52
00:02:57,595 --> 00:02:59,388
I have wailed as if
cherished husband
53
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:01,181
were cut from my own flesh.
54
00:03:01,307 --> 00:03:04,476
[Cossutia] I'm glad
you yet stand whole.
55
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:07,104
[Caesar] Would that Pompey
did not stand so.
56
00:03:07,271 --> 00:03:08,981
[Uvidus]
An enemy of the people.
57
00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:11,650
To think we greeted him with
arms spread with affection
58
00:03:11,817 --> 00:03:12,985
and adulation.
59
00:03:13,152 --> 00:03:14,904
He must be seen to account.
60
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:17,281
Preferably at the end
of a fucking sword.
61
00:03:17,448 --> 00:03:19,366
He stands a consul of Rome-
62
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:22,119
beyond reach of laws
that govern the rest of us.
63
00:03:22,286 --> 00:03:24,580
You would see him go unpunished
for what he has done?
64
00:03:24,747 --> 00:03:26,540
No. I only mean there is--
65
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:28,167
[Caesar] Calm waters.
66
00:03:28,334 --> 00:03:30,961
Crassus looks to introduce
resolution within the Senate
67
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:32,546
to strip Pompey of title.
68
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:34,548
And protection it affords.
69
00:03:35,007 --> 00:03:37,593
What of his army camped outside
the gates of Rome?
70
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:39,887
Fled from responsibility
71
00:03:40,471 --> 00:03:44,308
as all of questionable nature do
when faced with blood upon hand.
72
00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:46,518
The situation is well attended.
73
00:03:46,936 --> 00:03:48,479
He has been elevated to legatus
74
00:03:48,646 --> 00:03:51,231
and charged to see Pompey
towards a violent end.
75
00:03:51,649 --> 00:03:52,942
Apologies.
76
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:55,569
I will pay respects.
77
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:57,696
Caesar.
78
00:03:58,447 --> 00:03:59,657
You honor this house.
79
00:04:00,658 --> 00:04:04,912
Allow me to introduce Servius,
brother to beloved husband.
80
00:04:05,079 --> 00:04:06,538
[Cornelia]
Deepest sorrow towards loss
81
00:04:06,664 --> 00:04:08,415
of most precious brother.
82
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:10,209
Gratitude.
83
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:14,505
Yet I must inquire, why does
your slave stand among us?
84
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,674
Ashur is a free man
85
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,510
and respected lanista
within Capua.
86
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:21,303
Ah, yes,
87
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:24,765
the Syrian good Proculus
has spoken of.
88
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:29,353
I have thought towards munera
to honor fallen kin
89
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:33,732
and reintroduce myself to a city
I have been too long from.
90
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:35,484
[Ashur] Funeral games?
91
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:39,321
I shall provide my men gratis...
92
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:44,535
- in remembrance of your father.
- Oh, most excellent.
93
00:04:45,411 --> 00:04:48,038
- To be met in kind?
- Without hesitation.
94
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:49,832
We do not stand empty of purse.
95
00:04:49,999 --> 00:04:53,961
Let us say a clutch of your men
each with respective champions
96
00:04:54,128 --> 00:04:55,546
to meet in the Primus?
97
00:04:56,130 --> 00:05:00,009
Your brother's memory will be
etched in blood upon the sands.
98
00:05:00,843 --> 00:05:02,886
As I would see it held this day
99
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:04,388
by...
100
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,890
all those of
appropriate breeding.
101
00:05:09,852 --> 00:05:12,646
We are but guests
of the House of Servius.
102
00:05:14,565 --> 00:05:16,525
Uh, see the man to egress...
103
00:05:17,401 --> 00:05:20,404
at rear of villa,
removed from public eye.
104
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:29,413
[tense music]
105
00:05:35,419 --> 00:05:36,503
Hold.
106
00:05:38,047 --> 00:05:39,506
I would have a moment.
107
00:05:45,387 --> 00:05:46,513
Apologies.
108
00:05:47,056 --> 00:05:48,223
My uncle can be...
109
00:05:48,891 --> 00:05:50,142
abrupt.
110
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,978
It was foolish of me to come.
111
00:05:53,145 --> 00:05:55,230
It lifts heart that you have.
112
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:00,110
I wish to express gratitude.
113
00:06:00,736 --> 00:06:01,820
Towards?
114
00:06:02,905 --> 00:06:04,573
You tried to warn me
115
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:07,117
of Pompey.
116
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:10,496
If only I'd listened.
117
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:15,501
The fault lies with the man
who took your father's life.
118
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:18,504
And no other.
119
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:25,260
He did not deserve such a fate.
120
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:31,016
- He did not.
- [bell rings]
121
00:06:32,851 --> 00:06:35,104
I must go before I am missed.
122
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:38,941
[woman sobs]
123
00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:41,151
Know that you are
in my thoughts.
124
00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:44,530
[string music swells]
125
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,919
[sobs]
126
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,927
[somber string music]
127
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:09,596
[gasps]
128
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:11,473
[sighs]
129
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:14,184
[grunts]
130
00:07:15,686 --> 00:07:17,938
[men grunt]
131
00:07:18,856 --> 00:07:20,524
[yells]
132
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:22,484
[grunts]
133
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:24,403
Use spear to force distance.
134
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,780
Do not let fucking
Scythian draw close.
135
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:29,992
[intense music]
136
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:32,661
[shouts]
137
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:34,413
[grunts]
138
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:39,877
Again.
139
00:07:43,714 --> 00:07:45,966
[tense music]
140
00:07:48,719 --> 00:07:49,970
[sighs]
141
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:54,224
The brother of Gabinius
has mind towards funeral games.
142
00:07:54,933 --> 00:07:56,185
Doctore,
143
00:07:56,768 --> 00:07:59,354
a clutch of men stand requested.
144
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:03,150
Choose as you wish.
145
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:06,028
Dominus, what of the Scythian?
146
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,241
Achillia shall face her
in Primus.
147
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:14,036
[ominous music]
148
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:18,790
Glory
149
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:21,335
to the House of fucking Ashur.
150
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:35,057
[tense music]
151
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:42,814
You avoid me.
152
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:45,651
I but attend my duties
as vilica.
153
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:48,987
Do such encompass the murder
of a fucking senator?
154
00:08:53,867 --> 00:08:56,662
I did not know Pompey
would lash out in fatal manner.
155
00:08:56,828 --> 00:08:58,413
A man's actions
are far from predictable
156
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:00,165
when under sway of opium.
157
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:04,086
That is why your fucking dominus
so desired it upon the moment.
158
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:05,671
Is it not?
159
00:09:06,255 --> 00:09:08,757
And why you plied me
with kindest words
160
00:09:08,924 --> 00:09:10,884
to spirit such from
Domina's chambers.
161
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,428
I had no knowledge
of what Dominus planned.
162
00:09:13,595 --> 00:09:15,514
Nor would I have involved
you if I thought anyone
163
00:09:15,681 --> 00:09:16,974
would come to harm
in the act of it.
164
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:19,184
Intent has no bearing
upon deadly result.
165
00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:20,686
If it were discovered that I--
166
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:22,771
All with a hand in it
would suffer.
167
00:09:26,692 --> 00:09:28,819
The affairs of this
fucking house
168
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:32,072
and everyone within it
fall from concern.
169
00:09:33,031 --> 00:09:35,200
Domina makes ready
to depart for Rome
170
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:37,828
and would see me remain
at her side.
171
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:39,496
You leave this house?
172
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:43,208
Never to return.
173
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:47,087
[dramatic music]
174
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:53,093
[grunts]
175
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,014
[pants]
176
00:09:57,639 --> 00:09:59,224
Do not worry, brother.
177
00:09:59,975 --> 00:10:01,685
You shall rise again
178
00:10:01,810 --> 00:10:04,062
when she falls to the Scythian.
179
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:09,818
Doctore.
180
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:15,365
The Scythian does not favor
her right as you do.
181
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:17,784
It is the left that holds
greater threat.
182
00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:20,704
Such escaped my notice.
183
00:10:20,871 --> 00:10:22,122
Perhaps...
184
00:10:22,581 --> 00:10:25,208
more observant eye would yield
less disappointing result.
185
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:28,128
Perhaps.
186
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:31,214
[tense percussive music]
187
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:47,230
I thought you did not care
for style of dimachaerus.
188
00:10:48,482 --> 00:10:49,608
I do not.
189
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:52,444
Yet my father did,
190
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:56,573
as does the beast you are
to face in the arena.
191
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,747
[grunts]
192
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,709
[both grunt]
193
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:10,045
You remain from fucking back.
194
00:11:10,545 --> 00:11:12,297
We move in hopeful direction.
195
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:16,134
[both grunt]
196
00:11:16,635 --> 00:11:19,513
Good. Yet there are two
ends of a fucking spear.
197
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,722
Seek to use them both.
198
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:23,558
[grunts]
199
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,563
You again pursue opportunity
to seize mantle of champion?
200
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:30,148
I give no shit towards it.
201
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:33,443
I but crave the Scythians struck
from this fucking world,
202
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:35,946
if not by my hand, then yours.
203
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,324
[both grunt]
204
00:11:41,076 --> 00:11:43,286
[yells]
205
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:46,289
[both grunt]
206
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:54,256
[both grunt]
207
00:11:57,008 --> 00:11:57,926
[growls]
208
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,262
[both grunt]
209
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,599
[man yells]
210
00:12:09,312 --> 00:12:10,897
[man grunts]
211
00:12:12,107 --> 00:12:15,610
Do not make such brief work
of the Syrian's champion.
212
00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:17,946
I would see her suffer
213
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,032
and, by association,
her dominus.
214
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:24,244
And I would see her set upon
the man's fucking doctore,
215
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:26,329
the scales of blood
towards balance!
216
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:30,792
The crowd impossibly cheers
for you once more, little man.
217
00:12:31,460 --> 00:12:33,295
Absent fallen brothers.
218
00:12:33,462 --> 00:12:35,297
The gods bless the name Satyrus.
219
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:37,632
Yet I fear they
shall not grace you
220
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:40,427
with miraculous victory
a second time
221
00:12:41,011 --> 00:12:42,762
against fully formed opponent.
222
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:45,474
I am to fight again
in the arena?
223
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:46,475
You are,
224
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:48,560
yet not alone.
225
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:51,354
[tense music]
226
00:12:57,694 --> 00:13:00,822
You would pair me
with a fucking woman?!
227
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:04,075
I would but have you
live a while longer
228
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:07,120
and see coffers filled
with coin...
229
00:13:08,872 --> 00:13:10,957
in advance of your passing.
230
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:14,794
Come.
231
00:13:15,378 --> 00:13:18,215
I have been too long
from an opponent of worth
232
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:21,510
and would test myself against
one offering challenge.
233
00:13:22,052 --> 00:13:24,930
Let us see what I recall
from days of war
234
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:27,432
and adventure.
235
00:13:29,643 --> 00:13:30,977
[shouts]
236
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:39,027
Villa feels so empty.
237
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:42,781
Absent his presence filling it.
238
00:13:44,407 --> 00:13:47,160
I stand in most painful
regret...
239
00:13:49,371 --> 00:13:53,833
that I ever supported union
between you and fucking Pompey.
240
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,834
Oh,
241
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:57,295
you but moved to procure future
242
00:13:57,462 --> 00:13:59,548
protected from those
who would wish us harm.
243
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:01,258
[Servius] Apologies.
244
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:05,804
I pray I do not intrude upon
introspective musings.
245
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:07,931
We but speak of this house.
246
00:14:08,682 --> 00:14:11,977
And the living within it,
in pale shadow of loving father
247
00:14:12,143 --> 00:14:13,562
and considerate husband.
248
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:16,565
It does stand a fine villa
to raise a child in,
249
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:20,110
if fair Viridia may yet
erroneously be called such.
250
00:14:20,277 --> 00:14:21,653
[chuckles]
251
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,656
It is improper
252
00:14:25,156 --> 00:14:27,117
for men to bathe with women,
Servius.
253
00:14:27,284 --> 00:14:30,662
'Proper' is what
paterfamilias deems.
254
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:34,207
Do I not stand such now
in relation?
255
00:14:34,583 --> 00:14:35,834
You stand so.
256
00:14:36,001 --> 00:14:37,961
We shall leave you to
restorative ablutions.
257
00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:40,171
I would see you linger.
258
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:45,468
Presence of beloved niece
balms wound of brother's loss,
259
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:48,513
as does that of stoic wife.
260
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:51,808
Ahhh.
261
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:55,770
Is it not greatest relief
to shed black sackcloth
262
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:58,773
and feel cleansing waters
against flesh?
263
00:14:59,858 --> 00:15:01,401
If I were overseer of tradition,
264
00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:03,403
I would see eight days
of mourning halved,
265
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:04,654
if not quartered.
266
00:15:04,821 --> 00:15:06,531
They could churn into years,
267
00:15:06,698 --> 00:15:10,160
and yet not allow time enough to
grieve the passing of my father.
268
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:13,872
I would not see you
so removed from life...
269
00:15:15,165 --> 00:15:16,916
nor pleasures such offers.
270
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:18,084
[clears throat]
271
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:19,628
What make you of
272
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:21,421
Caesar
273
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:22,964
and Cornelia?
274
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:24,424
They seem...
275
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:25,759
taken by you.
276
00:15:26,176 --> 00:15:27,802
- You believe so?
- Mm.
277
00:15:27,969 --> 00:15:29,554
They are of discerning nature.
278
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:33,016
And at status beyond measure,
gracing pulvinus for the games.
279
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,185
They will come?
You are sure of it?
280
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:37,812
They dwell within
Ashur's villa during stay.
281
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:40,774
- You shall see them among us.
- Oh, yes.
282
00:15:41,983 --> 00:15:43,818
The Syrian. [chuckles]
283
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:46,154
How do they manage
sharing domicile
284
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:47,864
with such a lowly beast?
285
00:15:48,031 --> 00:15:49,741
Ashur is no beast.
286
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,952
He's a man of careful thought
and gentle word,
287
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:54,663
even when none are offered him.
288
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:57,874
You speak of the Syrian with
a troubling passion.
289
00:15:58,416 --> 00:15:59,501
She but finds
290
00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:01,127
the good in all,
291
00:16:01,836 --> 00:16:03,963
even those... undeserving.
292
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,715
I but speak the truth
293
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:08,385
for those who do not fear it.
294
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:13,264
We should have proper adornment
for games of the munera-
295
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:15,558
something of status, yet...
296
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:17,394
muted in ostentation.
297
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,020
We will go to the market
when day breaks.
298
00:16:19,187 --> 00:16:21,356
I cannot go to market upon
the morrow, nor hold interest
299
00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:23,358
in entertaining such frivolity.
300
00:16:23,525 --> 00:16:26,861
You need not accompany us.
We go often, mother and I.
301
00:16:27,028 --> 00:16:29,948
Absent paterfamilias or
suitable male escort?
302
00:16:30,115 --> 00:16:32,242
We do not require leash.
303
00:16:32,409 --> 00:16:33,535
Viridia.
304
00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:38,915
It appears my brother
has been regrettably lax
305
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,543
in regards towards
matters of family.
306
00:16:42,293 --> 00:16:43,294
A mistake
307
00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:46,214
we shall see towards correction.
308
00:16:50,301 --> 00:16:51,845
[liquid pours]
309
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,139
I thought all lost when
the old fool promised
310
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:56,141
his simpleton child to Pompey.
311
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:57,892
A moment of worry,
312
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:02,397
yet the gods favor Caesar
and deserving wife.
313
00:17:02,564 --> 00:17:04,441
Has there ever stood such a man?
314
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:07,485
He is with empty shell,
absent the woman before him.
315
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:10,196
She would not be removed
from your side.
316
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:11,990
Nor I from yours.
317
00:17:12,574 --> 00:17:14,117
Yet I would see you safe
behind the gates of Rome
318
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,786
far from threat of Pompey
and men yet loyal to him.
319
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,496
What of Crassus?
320
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:20,457
I shall deliver message
upon proper time and place
321
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:22,250
in advance of my own departure.
322
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,128
The Syrian has proven
unexpectedly useful,
323
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:26,212
has he not?
324
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:27,589
[Ashur] Gratitude.
325
00:17:29,090 --> 00:17:30,467
I but live
326
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:32,218
to serve.
327
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:35,305
You but elevate the name
of Caesar and of your patron.
328
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:38,725
Come! Partake in wine
and joyous celebration.
329
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:41,853
I prefer promises kept
in lieu of libations.
330
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:43,021
Promises?
331
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:44,856
Agreement was made.
332
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:47,567
If union between Viridia
and Pompey was halted,
333
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:49,861
the reward would be the
rebuilding of the old arena
334
00:17:49,986 --> 00:17:52,447
destroyed by Spartacus, and I...
335
00:17:53,239 --> 00:17:54,949
to be given control of it.
336
00:17:55,116 --> 00:17:58,036
Was it not Pompey who
struck Gabinius down?
337
00:17:58,203 --> 00:18:00,830
By machination devised
by my hand alone.
338
00:18:00,997 --> 00:18:02,290
Gabinius...
339
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,918
would yet be of this world
340
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:07,003
if not for Ashur.
341
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,839
Of that there
can be no question.
342
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:14,719
And upon my life, you shall
be seen to deserved reward.
343
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,680
[chains jingle]
344
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:25,730
[enchanting music]
345
00:18:30,151 --> 00:18:32,821
Night becomes glorious day.
346
00:18:32,987 --> 00:18:33,822
Leave us.
347
00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:38,284
We shall revisit subject upon
heel of legacy of Gabinius
348
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:40,370
honored upon the sands.
349
00:18:40,537 --> 00:18:42,747
[music intensifies]
350
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:01,766
[lock clanks]
351
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,273
[sighs]
352
00:19:08,690 --> 00:19:09,649
Come.
353
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:15,446
I recall a time not so far
distance when you made effort
354
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:18,533
to claim my life with
the chains that yet bound you.
355
00:19:19,117 --> 00:19:20,410
Would you have not
attempted the same
356
00:19:20,577 --> 00:19:21,995
had our place stood reversed?
357
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:24,539
No. I would have
plotted and schemed,
358
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,499
striking from the shadows,
359
00:19:27,417 --> 00:19:29,335
as those of craven heart would.
360
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,212
If I had followed example,
361
00:19:31,379 --> 00:19:33,840
perhaps I would not yet
stand a slave.
362
00:19:35,884 --> 00:19:37,218
[chuckles]
363
00:19:38,845 --> 00:19:41,222
Yet here we both find ourselves,
364
00:19:41,639 --> 00:19:44,434
bound by the chains
of our decisions.
365
00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:52,817
[tense music]
366
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:58,823
[somber music]
367
00:20:08,082 --> 00:20:09,500
This is to be mine?
368
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:11,336
Alone?
369
00:20:12,295 --> 00:20:14,797
As Gannicus before you
and Spartacus in his wake,
370
00:20:14,964 --> 00:20:17,425
each claiming this as their own
371
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,385
towards title
372
00:20:19,886 --> 00:20:21,095
of champion.
373
00:20:23,806 --> 00:20:26,559
A title bestowed upon me
months past.
374
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:30,897
Why does such a gift present
itself in the present?
375
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:33,024
As reward for loyal service.
376
00:20:33,191 --> 00:20:35,860
Yet, if you find the aroma
of piss and shit
377
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:36,945
of the barracks more pleasing--
378
00:20:37,111 --> 00:20:38,696
I defeated Ammonius,
379
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:41,324
yet such bounty was not offered.
380
00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:49,832
Come to direct fucking point.
381
00:20:50,625 --> 00:20:52,961
I plied Pompey with opium,
382
00:20:53,127 --> 00:20:54,295
as commanded.
383
00:20:55,213 --> 00:20:58,925
Was it plot and scheme that
he then cut the old man down?
384
00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:02,929
No.
385
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:07,183
It was not my intent
to see Gabinius dead.
386
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,190
The man who took his life -
387
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:17,110
he will suffer for it?
388
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:19,529
Of that I have no doubt.
389
00:21:23,741 --> 00:21:24,909
Rest
390
00:21:26,244 --> 00:21:29,205
and turn darkness of thought
towards the fucking Scythian.
391
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:33,084
She presents challenge
unlike you have ever faced.
392
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:34,919
And...
393
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:38,297
I do not wish to see
such glorious accommodation
394
00:21:38,464 --> 00:21:40,466
stand empty again.
395
00:21:44,345 --> 00:21:46,597
[pensive music]
396
00:21:59,861 --> 00:22:03,197
- [Korris] Begin!
- [distant shouting]
397
00:22:04,532 --> 00:22:06,325
[grunts]
398
00:22:06,909 --> 00:22:08,327
Anticipate feint.
399
00:22:08,453 --> 00:22:10,538
She will attempt to draw you in
to imagined weakness,
400
00:22:10,705 --> 00:22:11,956
then strike.
401
00:22:12,707 --> 00:22:13,624
[Achillia shouts]
402
00:22:14,167 --> 00:22:15,209
[Tarchon grunts]
403
00:22:18,212 --> 00:22:21,799
Do we train or do you seek
my fall in advance of arena?
404
00:22:22,258 --> 00:22:23,676
You hold the Scythian
will show you mercy?
405
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:25,887
You do not stand
the fucking Scythian!
406
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:27,430
If I were,
407
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:29,599
you would be embracing my father
in the fucking afterlife.
408
00:22:29,766 --> 00:22:31,225
[yells]
409
00:22:31,392 --> 00:22:33,144
- [grunts]
- [Korris] Pause.
410
00:22:37,398 --> 00:22:38,483
Take water and regain yourself.
411
00:22:38,649 --> 00:22:40,693
- I do not need--
- Fall to command.
412
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:46,407
She does not heed instruction.
413
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:48,409
I wonder who she
fucking reminds me of.
414
00:22:48,576 --> 00:22:50,536
How am I to aid her
if she will not listen?
415
00:22:50,912 --> 00:22:53,581
How did your father
set unruly son upon path?
416
00:22:54,332 --> 00:22:55,666
By harsh words alone?
417
00:22:56,084 --> 00:22:58,961
Or tempered with those of
more supportive nature?
418
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,214
So you would have me ply her
419
00:23:01,506 --> 00:23:03,174
with gentle caress
and soft kiss?
420
00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:06,761
A kindness reserved for those
held to fucking heart.
421
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:10,139
I but suggest temperance
422
00:23:10,681 --> 00:23:13,059
if such is to be found
within you.
423
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:16,062
[somber music]
424
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:20,650
Have you broken words
with Dominus
425
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:21,943
towards reunion with the Elata?
426
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:23,111
I have not.
427
00:23:23,611 --> 00:23:25,321
Dominus is consumed by
more weighted matters,
428
00:23:25,446 --> 00:23:28,991
yet I will, at first
opportunity, broach subject.
429
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:31,244
Are we to gossip as old women
430
00:23:31,702 --> 00:23:33,412
or return to fucking purpose?
431
00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:46,926
[tense music]
432
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:48,803
You possess fucking shield,
433
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,972
however small.
434
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:52,890
Think upon using it.
435
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:59,063
[both grunt]
436
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:02,400
[Achillia shouts]
437
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,238
Good. Yet do not consider
but for defense.
438
00:24:07,405 --> 00:24:10,283
Think of it also
as unexpected weapon.
439
00:24:10,867 --> 00:24:13,119
[both grunt]
440
00:24:13,911 --> 00:24:16,122
[grunts]
441
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,599
[Korris] Esteemed burden
at last removes itself?
442
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:38,728
Yet damage caused not so easily
swept to remembrance.
443
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:44,317
Then let us soothe wounds
with blood and glory.
444
00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:46,319
The men stand ready?
445
00:24:46,444 --> 00:24:48,321
They thirst for the fucking day.
446
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:50,781
As all men of worth do.
447
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:56,579
There is one among them that I
would beg towards consideration.
448
00:24:56,746 --> 00:24:58,539
- Break name.
- Tarchon.
449
00:24:58,706 --> 00:24:59,999
Ah.
450
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:03,002
That arrogant little shit
presses for return to the arena?
451
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:05,838
He does not petition for it.
Instead, he makes effort
452
00:25:06,005 --> 00:25:09,342
towards aiding Achillia
to face the Scythian.
453
00:25:12,053 --> 00:25:13,763
Was such the boy's choice?
454
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,558
With gentle fucking guidance
from more experienced hand.
455
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:20,228
I did not think you could cease
pissing in all direction
456
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:22,688
long enough to lend assistance
to another,
457
00:25:23,105 --> 00:25:24,649
especially one he so despises.
458
00:25:24,815 --> 00:25:27,902
He is learning to look
beyond himself, slowly,
459
00:25:28,069 --> 00:25:29,320
yet he makes attempt.
460
00:25:29,487 --> 00:25:31,656
And you would see him
rewarded for effort?
461
00:25:32,448 --> 00:25:34,867
The whore Elata,
he holds her in some affection.
462
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:37,536
It would lift his spirits
to see her again.
463
00:25:38,287 --> 00:25:41,707
The loss of his father
still weights the boy.
464
00:25:45,711 --> 00:25:47,088
It is a heavy thing-
465
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:49,966
loss of a man
466
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:51,884
greatly admired.
467
00:25:53,427 --> 00:25:56,806
You appear not your usual
aggravating self of late.
468
00:25:57,098 --> 00:25:58,683
Sharing words regarding cause--
469
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:02,061
I would instead turn to
more buoyant reckoning.
470
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:05,106
[dramatic music]
471
00:26:05,273 --> 00:26:07,566
Crassus at last
removes arm from ass
472
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:10,236
to see the old arena
risen from the ashes.
473
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:11,821
Boon to all of Capua.
474
00:26:11,988 --> 00:26:13,739
More so to this fucking house.
475
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:17,702
For the man before you
is to be given charge of it.
476
00:26:20,454 --> 00:26:22,456
A great honor, well deserved.
477
00:26:22,623 --> 00:26:24,583
Once arena's completed,
attention shall be taken
478
00:26:24,709 --> 00:26:27,962
with seeing it's filled to the
thunderous cheers of the crowd.
479
00:26:28,963 --> 00:26:31,757
I will have little time
for the needs of this ludus,
480
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:35,303
nor those toiling
beneath its roof.
481
00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,347
- You would see it sold?
- No.
482
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:43,060
I would see it freely given
483
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:46,063
into the worthiest of hands.
484
00:26:46,188 --> 00:26:48,482
[pensive music]
485
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:56,490
I, uh...
486
00:26:58,367 --> 00:27:00,244
I have never imagined
487
00:27:00,578 --> 00:27:01,746
such was possible.
488
00:27:01,871 --> 00:27:02,955
Nor I.
489
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:04,623
Yet...
490
00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:07,835
we soar beyond the tether
of imagination,
491
00:27:08,711 --> 00:27:12,590
severing it in service
of what we may become.
492
00:27:14,675 --> 00:27:15,801
[sighs]
493
00:27:15,926 --> 00:27:17,261
See the whore into
the boy's arms.
494
00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:20,681
And may he find peace
in her embrace
495
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,767
as we find in promise
496
00:27:23,184 --> 00:27:24,769
of future laurels.
497
00:27:40,076 --> 00:27:41,077
[sighs]
498
00:27:41,744 --> 00:27:44,038
[tense vocal music]
499
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:47,750
[door opens]
500
00:27:51,170 --> 00:27:52,296
[Tarchon sighs]
501
00:27:58,344 --> 00:27:59,887
I've dreamt of you
502
00:28:00,471 --> 00:28:02,807
standing once more upon
the sands of the arena,
503
00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:04,892
victorious in all regards.
504
00:28:06,394 --> 00:28:08,354
Then I would see desires filled.
505
00:28:09,772 --> 00:28:11,982
Yet, towards arena,
506
00:28:12,483 --> 00:28:14,026
such must stand delayed.
507
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:16,278
I hear of funeral games
for Gabinius.
508
00:28:16,445 --> 00:28:17,905
Are you not among those
chosen to fight?
509
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,741
I have fallen from
consideration of Dominus.
510
00:28:21,283 --> 00:28:22,326
Why?
511
00:28:23,661 --> 00:28:24,995
A thing of no matter.
512
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:27,790
Until I regain such,
I instruct the champion
513
00:28:27,957 --> 00:28:29,875
towards contest against
fucking Scythian.
514
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:30,918
Champion?
515
00:28:31,252 --> 00:28:32,753
A title you deserve.
516
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:35,464
If you do not stand such,
how shall you earn your freedom,
517
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:37,133
or my own,
as you have so often promised?
518
00:28:37,299 --> 00:28:39,468
Let's not fall towards
future worries
519
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:41,470
when present...
520
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:44,515
holds greater need.
521
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:52,356
It feels a lifetime since
I have taken to your arms.
522
00:28:54,608 --> 00:28:56,944
And now we my embrace
absent concern.
523
00:28:57,945 --> 00:28:59,029
Concern?
524
00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:00,948
Towards?
525
00:29:01,115 --> 00:29:03,075
That bloated Roman that
handled me so rudely...
526
00:29:03,242 --> 00:29:04,410
Mm.
527
00:29:04,535 --> 00:29:05,786
...and disapproving
eye of your father.
528
00:29:11,125 --> 00:29:12,543
He but worried of distraction
529
00:29:13,294 --> 00:29:15,546
and fateful end such could
lead to upon the sands.
530
00:29:15,671 --> 00:29:17,298
You are well out of his shadow.
531
00:29:17,423 --> 00:29:21,051
He was stubborn and overbearing,
as you yourself often noted.
532
00:29:24,054 --> 00:29:26,348
[somber music]
533
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:33,272
I was in error...
534
00:29:35,816 --> 00:29:37,026
toward many things.
535
00:29:40,821 --> 00:29:41,989
Guard.
536
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:49,205
Where are you going?
537
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:52,917
To honor my father,
538
00:29:54,877 --> 00:29:56,337
in word and deed.
539
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:05,429
[gate opens, closes]
540
00:30:11,727 --> 00:30:12,728
[items clatter]
541
00:30:12,895 --> 00:30:14,355
Treat belongings
with fucking care
542
00:30:14,522 --> 00:30:16,106
if the ability stands
so possessed.
543
00:30:16,273 --> 00:30:17,858
I shall see ungentle hands
shattered
544
00:30:18,025 --> 00:30:20,152
for slightest offense
to treasured belongings.
545
00:30:20,694 --> 00:30:21,862
Gratitude.
546
00:30:22,321 --> 00:30:25,533
I find it deepest relief
to fall from such consideration.
547
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:27,409
This house stands as your own,
548
00:30:27,576 --> 00:30:30,204
should need or desire
ever return you to Capua.
549
00:30:31,038 --> 00:30:34,833
Let us not sully joyous occasion
with such dour thought.
550
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,014
May I impart men
to further swell numbers
551
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:51,183
towards precious cargo?
552
00:30:51,934 --> 00:30:54,270
I would not entrust such
to the rudely trained.
553
00:30:55,396 --> 00:30:58,357
We are yet to broach subject
of remuneration for your slave.
554
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:02,736
A gift, in deference to Caesar
and deserving wife.
555
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:04,071
Well received.
556
00:31:04,613 --> 00:31:05,698
For what it's worth.
557
00:31:07,783 --> 00:31:09,618
Would that you were
by my side as well.
558
00:31:10,077 --> 00:31:12,413
It would lend greatest comfort
with Pompey running wild
559
00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:14,081
through the countryside.
560
00:31:14,248 --> 00:31:16,875
The greater number of my men
shall see you safely to Rome.
561
00:31:17,042 --> 00:31:19,378
Promise you will join
at earliest convenience
562
00:31:19,962 --> 00:31:22,715
with news Pompey has been
dispatched by your hand.
563
00:31:23,257 --> 00:31:25,426
My word stands bond.
564
00:31:25,843 --> 00:31:26,802
Go,
565
00:31:27,344 --> 00:31:28,971
and await glorious return.
566
00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:36,103
Guards,
567
00:31:36,478 --> 00:31:37,980
see her safely to Rome.
568
00:31:38,105 --> 00:31:39,356
[soldier]
Yes, sir.
569
00:31:42,484 --> 00:31:44,570
[Cornelia] Messia. Come.
570
00:31:48,324 --> 00:31:51,160
[dramatic music]
571
00:31:51,327 --> 00:31:52,620
[wagon door shuts]
572
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:56,457
[horseman shouts,
whip cracks, horse whinnies]
573
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:04,923
Let us fall to the arena,
Syrian, and give final embrace
574
00:32:05,090 --> 00:32:07,968
to the man you helped see
from this world. [chuckles]
575
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:12,556
[suspenseful music]
576
00:32:16,393 --> 00:32:18,646
[horn blares]
577
00:32:19,355 --> 00:32:21,649
[crowd cheers]
578
00:32:23,317 --> 00:32:25,736
[crowd cheers, chatters]
579
00:32:27,404 --> 00:32:29,406
Me! Me!
580
00:32:30,199 --> 00:32:31,700
Give me some!
581
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:35,663
[crowd cheers]
582
00:32:39,208 --> 00:32:42,461
Viridia! Do join us miscreants
in lesser row.
583
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,173
- Much appreciated.
- Yet respectfully declined.
584
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:48,008
I would have her close
to doting uncle.
585
00:32:48,175 --> 00:32:50,636
She does not favor
proximity to the blood--
586
00:32:50,761 --> 00:32:51,637
And yet
587
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:54,139
I would have her at my side.
588
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,433
And there you shall find me.
589
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:03,107
Ah! Exalted guest graces us
with divine presence.
590
00:33:03,732 --> 00:33:04,608
You flatter,
591
00:33:05,192 --> 00:33:07,152
- yet not enough.
- [chuckles]
592
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:09,196
Ravishing wife does
not accompany?
593
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:11,198
She regrettably returns to Rome.
594
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:13,158
We stand blessed you yet remain.
595
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:15,828
I but linger to pay honor
to noble senator -
596
00:33:16,453 --> 00:33:17,454
his absence
597
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:19,123
a mortal wound.
598
00:33:20,374 --> 00:33:22,710
The crowd swells
towards tribute.
599
00:33:24,044 --> 00:33:27,840
The gods themselves shall bear
witness to how he was loved.
600
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:28,799
Yes.
601
00:33:29,466 --> 00:33:31,885
It shall stand spectacle
for the ages.
602
00:33:32,803 --> 00:33:35,514
The house of Ashur shall ensure
it a day to be remembered.
603
00:33:35,681 --> 00:33:36,682
Oh.
604
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:38,934
Apologies.
605
00:33:39,643 --> 00:33:42,896
With all the arrangements, I did
not have moment to send message.
606
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:45,232
I have secured more
suitable offerings
607
00:33:45,399 --> 00:33:47,693
from Calpurnius of Pompeii.
608
00:33:52,239 --> 00:33:54,742
Am I not to hold
position in the games?
609
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,994
It does not seem reasonable
to exclude him on cusp of--
610
00:33:57,161 --> 00:34:01,039
He shall retain Primus
against Proculus' savage
611
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:02,958
upon necessity of the crowd.
612
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,836
They demand Achillia's
return to the sands.
613
00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:08,380
Brief as it may be.
614
00:34:11,341 --> 00:34:12,634
A privilege
615
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:15,345
to be so considered.
616
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,060
Oh,
617
00:34:22,603 --> 00:34:23,979
apologies once more.
618
00:34:24,146 --> 00:34:27,316
Pulvinus stands reserved
for Romans.
619
00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:31,403
Father often invited Ashur
to sit among us.
620
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:34,448
Well, my brother
is no longer among us.
621
00:34:35,282 --> 00:34:37,075
And I but speak the truth
622
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:40,788
for those who do not fear it.
623
00:34:43,791 --> 00:34:45,292
Unless Caesar holds objection?
624
00:34:45,459 --> 00:34:49,087
Who is Caesar to stand in
the way of unflinching veracity?
625
00:34:49,254 --> 00:34:50,923
- Uncle--
- Let us not
626
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:52,633
fall to disagreement.
627
00:34:53,759 --> 00:34:56,970
I shall hold vigil among
the people your father so
628
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:58,680
dearly loved.
629
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:04,853
[sniffs]
630
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:08,065
The air appears fresher,
does it not?
631
00:35:08,190 --> 00:35:10,192
[laughter]
632
00:35:10,317 --> 00:35:12,152
[Modesta] I did not
breathe through my nose
633
00:35:12,319 --> 00:35:14,029
the entire time he stood there.
634
00:35:15,697 --> 00:35:17,783
We are not to fucking fight?!
635
00:35:17,908 --> 00:35:19,993
Editor of the games deems it so.
636
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:22,120
Would that the cunt
joined fallen brother?
637
00:35:22,246 --> 00:35:24,373
There is but one contest
holding matter.
638
00:35:24,915 --> 00:35:26,917
Let us place all else aside...
639
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:29,670
and turn thought towards it.
640
00:35:38,595 --> 00:35:40,848
[crowd cheers]
641
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:48,981
All that I have sacrificed
only to return to where I began.
642
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:50,941
Once new arena is completed,
643
00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:53,902
you shall be the one who decides
who occupies pulvinus
644
00:35:54,611 --> 00:35:56,238
and who shall be excluded.
645
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:59,992
I long for the fucking day.
646
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:06,456
Citizens of Capua!
647
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:10,294
Many among you may not
recognize countenance
648
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:12,045
of long lost son,
649
00:36:12,212 --> 00:36:15,841
returned to loving embrace
upon darkest hour.
650
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,052
I stand here before you,
as I did in my youth.
651
00:36:19,219 --> 00:36:21,013
Servius Gabinius,
652
00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:24,057
brother to storied senator
653
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,310
beloved by all.
654
00:36:27,019 --> 00:36:30,564
Too soon taken from this
world by the villain Pompey!
655
00:36:30,731 --> 00:36:32,941
[crowd boos]
656
00:36:34,610 --> 00:36:36,194
Dearest brother
657
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,906
is survived by stately wife
658
00:36:39,615 --> 00:36:40,949
and treasured daughter
659
00:36:41,074 --> 00:36:44,786
who now fall to me
towards security...
660
00:36:45,662 --> 00:36:47,039
and affection.
661
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:52,920
Capua has suffered injury
of most grievous nature.
662
00:36:53,503 --> 00:36:57,049
Yet we shall not be quelled
by violent assault,
663
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:58,425
nor whither
664
00:36:58,592 --> 00:37:02,137
upon facing uncertain
challenge of tomorrow.
665
00:37:02,304 --> 00:37:03,889
Yet, this day,
666
00:37:04,306 --> 00:37:05,641
let us honor
667
00:37:05,807 --> 00:37:07,768
the memory of my brother,
668
00:37:07,935 --> 00:37:08,644
your ally,
669
00:37:08,810 --> 00:37:11,355
your champion
670
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,484
- with blood and sacrifice!

[gladiator screams, crowd roars]
694

Follow lead
695
00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:52,205
and attempt not to die.
696
00:38:52,706 --> 00:38:55,500
Advice I had thought
to impart to you.

From the House of Proculus,
699
00:39:02,591 --> 00:39:04,676
I give you Galatea,

How many lives does
the little man possess?
707
00:39:25,238 --> 00:39:27,115
I pray but one remaining.
708
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:33,163
Formidable opponent offered
by the House of Calpurnius,
709
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:35,290
enter Taurus!
710
00:39:35,832 --> 00:39:37,709

Reports have reached ear
that Pompey marshals his men

towards the shores
of Brundisium in the south.
733
00:41:01,543 --> 00:41:02,836
Brundisium?

[both grunt]
735
00:41:06,715 --> 00:41:09,009
What does he seek
in such a horrid place?
736
00:41:09,176 --> 00:41:11,928
If I stood the man, I would seek
to cross waters to Greece
737
00:41:12,387 --> 00:41:14,639
in efforts towards raising
greater numbers to swell ranks
738
00:41:14,764 --> 00:41:16,433
of depleted army.
739
00:41:19,811 --> 00:41:22,105
Spectre of civil war is upon us.
740
00:41:22,564 --> 00:41:25,483
A fate my father devoted life
to avoid.
741
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:27,861
[Taurus growls]
742
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:32,199

[screams]
744
00:41:37,662 --> 00:41:41,625
I will see the villain to grass
in advance of further offense.
745
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:44,544
With aid of Crassus
and the Senate, of course.
746
00:41:44,711 --> 00:41:45,837
Gratitude.
747
00:41:46,504 --> 00:41:47,881
I long to see the man
responsible
748
00:41:48,006 --> 00:41:50,383
for my husband's death
fall to a similar fate.
749
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:53,887
Would that I held the knife,
claiming his life.
750
00:41:57,432 --> 00:41:59,726
[Taurus grunts, crowd cheers]
751
00:42:03,897 --> 00:42:06,107

Yes!
759
00:42:39,724 --> 00:42:41,643
Taurus stood legend.
760
00:42:41,768 --> 00:42:43,103
May he be
761
00:42:43,478 --> 00:42:45,522
remembered as such.
762
00:42:47,607 --> 00:42:50,277
[growls]
763
00:42:52,195 --> 00:42:55,365
I am going to fuck you
this night, little man.
764
00:42:55,490 --> 00:42:57,617
And I shall let you!
765

- [shouts]
- [crowd roars]
767
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:10,338
- We fall from seat?
- Remain.
768
00:43:10,505 --> 00:43:12,465
I shall seek word with
our champion in advance
769
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:14,134
of fucking Primus.
770
00:43:17,095 --> 00:43:18,596
[Satyrus yells]
771
00:43:18,763 --> 00:43:20,890
[laughs, grunts]
772
00:43:23,351 --> 00:43:24,561
Disappointed?
773
00:43:24,686 --> 00:43:26,563
You fucking oaf!
774
00:43:27,063 --> 00:43:28,565
Eternally.
775

[growls]
776
00:43:32,694 --> 00:43:35,113
I stand a fucking god!
777
00:43:35,405 --> 00:43:38,241
And a woman at my side...
778
00:43:40,201 --> 00:43:42,370
[mutters softly]
779
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:46,958
[Tarchon] You pray?
780
00:43:48,126 --> 00:43:49,461
To Apedemak,
781
00:43:49,919 --> 00:43:51,171
God of War.
782
00:43:53,465 --> 00:43:54,758
Will he listen?
783
00:43:56,968 --> 00:43:59,179
In favor of me, no.
784
00:44:00,263 --> 00:44:01,681
Yet I pray to him
785
00:44:01,848 --> 00:44:03,308
in the name of your father.
786
00:44:03,475 --> 00:44:05,894
Well, your god would
be wise to listen.
787
00:44:07,187 --> 00:44:09,522
Or I shall have fucking words
with him in the afterlife.
788
00:44:09,689 --> 00:44:11,900
- [gate opens]
- [Ashur] Achillia.
789
00:44:16,571 --> 00:44:17,864
You stand ready?
790
00:44:18,031 --> 00:44:19,574
She does, Dominus.
791
00:44:23,953 --> 00:44:25,622
Those who sit upon ass
792
00:44:25,789 --> 00:44:29,250
and judge yet believe this
house a fucking jest.
793
00:44:30,251 --> 00:44:33,380
They hold that
we among it are lesser,
794
00:44:33,963 --> 00:44:35,465
that they stand above us,
795
00:44:35,632 --> 00:44:37,384
and forever shall.
796
00:44:38,134 --> 00:44:39,302
Show them
797
00:44:39,469 --> 00:44:40,970
who we truly are,
798
00:44:41,513 --> 00:44:42,972
and fuck that cunt
799
00:44:43,098 --> 00:44:45,058

[gladiators yell]
801
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,741
[Servius]
The moment is upon us.
802
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:05,745
Primus at last arrives
to memorialize revered brother,
803
00:45:05,912 --> 00:45:07,914
noble husband, beloved father
804
00:45:08,081 --> 00:45:10,917
and senator of this
grand republic!

- [crowd cheers]
- Yes!
806
00:45:14,087 --> 00:45:16,214
How gauge you Achillia
towards victory?
807
00:45:17,132 --> 00:45:18,925
[sighs] We shall see.
808
00:45:19,092 --> 00:45:20,427
From the House
809
00:45:20,593 --> 00:45:21,970
of the Syrian,
810
00:45:23,221 --> 00:45:25,223
I give you Achillia,

Achillia!
816
00:45:39,112 --> 00:45:40,738
Achillia!
817
00:45:43,241 --> 00:45:46,411
And who shall such
fearsome warrior face?
818
00:45:46,953 --> 00:45:49,289
From the House of Proculus,
819
00:45:49,456 --> 00:45:51,624
enter the Scythian!

[laughs]
831
00:46:44,969 --> 00:46:46,387

by both of you.

Ah!
891
00:51:21,370 --> 00:51:24,916
Perhaps the House of Proculus is
not to be so feared after all.
892
00:51:25,333 --> 00:51:27,794
You will not speak to a man
in such fashion.
893
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,462
[Proculus]
A thing of little note.
894
00:51:30,379 --> 00:51:34,133
Violent end often comes
to those least suspecting of it.
895
00:51:36,803 --> 00:51:38,471
Gratitude to all
896
00:51:39,138 --> 00:51:40,640
for sharing in our grief.
897
00:51:41,224 --> 00:51:45,144
I stand at your service
towards all affairs of Capua,

public and private.
899
00:51:47,563 --> 00:51:48,731
We must all break meal
900
00:51:48,856 --> 00:51:51,067
upon success of campaign
against Pompey.
901
00:51:51,818 --> 00:51:54,529
Our house stands forever
prepared to receive you.
902
00:51:55,196 --> 00:51:56,989
Cossutia, Viridia,
903
00:51:57,156 --> 00:51:59,116

You have done
the fucking impossible.
908
00:52:57,466 --> 00:52:58,676
Champion.
909
00:53:00,052 --> 00:53:02,138
You appear astonished
I yet live.
910
00:53:02,722 --> 00:53:04,390
I had hoped, with all my being,
911
00:53:05,308 --> 00:53:07,310
that you would claim
the Scythian's life,
912
00:53:09,228 --> 00:53:10,771
yet did not expect it.
913
00:53:10,938 --> 00:53:12,106
Nor I.
914
00:53:13,024 --> 00:53:14,066
Gratitude
915
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:16,861
for assisting
in such fucking miracle.
916
00:53:20,531 --> 00:53:22,700
I could not have another
strike you down
917
00:53:23,367 --> 00:53:25,161
before I laid claim
to your title.
918
00:53:25,703 --> 00:53:28,247
I had thought disagreement
lay behind us.
919
00:53:28,623 --> 00:53:30,833
Would you not pursue
mantle of champion...
920
00:53:32,460 --> 00:53:34,253
were I the one to hold it?
921
00:53:35,254 --> 00:53:36,380
I fucking would.
922
00:53:36,547 --> 00:53:37,632
Hmm.
923
00:53:38,257 --> 00:53:41,969
I never dreamt nor desired
to find myself in such position.
924
00:53:42,678 --> 00:53:44,388
And yet here you stand.
925
00:53:45,598 --> 00:53:47,850
Reflecting words
broken by our dominus.
926
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:50,227
Yet I would not have it so.
927
00:53:51,938 --> 00:53:54,273
I would gain my freedom
in the arena,
928
00:53:54,649 --> 00:53:56,233
if so blessed,
929
00:53:57,026 --> 00:53:59,779
or beyond its walls,
if fate so deems.
930
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,491
We at last find common ground.
931
00:54:04,659 --> 00:54:07,912
What would you do
if such a day comes?
932
00:54:12,917 --> 00:54:14,710
Return to my homeland...
933
00:54:17,922 --> 00:54:20,383
and seek the man who
condemned me to the Romans.
934
00:54:22,176 --> 00:54:23,636
And take his life?
935
00:54:26,764 --> 00:54:29,100
[breathes shakily]
936
00:54:32,812 --> 00:54:34,647
Your wrapping is overly tight.
937
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:41,487
Doctore saw to it
in absence of medicus.
938
00:54:42,113 --> 00:54:44,615
I fear he's more suited
to the taking of life
939
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:46,659
than the healing of it.
940
00:54:48,411 --> 00:54:50,204
My father taught me
how to dress his wounds
941
00:54:50,329 --> 00:54:52,123
when I was yet a child.
942
00:54:54,125 --> 00:54:55,918
He is deeply missed.
943
00:54:57,962 --> 00:54:59,672
Beyond the telling of it.
944
00:54:59,839 --> 00:55:02,091
[somber music]
945
00:55:11,225 --> 00:55:12,893
[Achillia pants heavily]
946
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:14,562
Apologies.
947
00:55:22,903 --> 00:55:24,905
[thunderclap]
948
00:55:32,997 --> 00:55:35,207
[pants]
949
00:55:40,921 --> 00:55:43,132
[dramatic music]
950
00:55:43,883 --> 00:55:46,135
[moans]
951
00:55:47,803 --> 00:55:50,306
[orchestral string music]
952
00:56:00,191 --> 00:56:02,234
[both shout]
953
00:56:06,363 --> 00:56:07,615
See horses readied.
954
00:56:07,782 --> 00:56:10,242
I would upon road
within briefest moment.
955
00:56:13,662 --> 00:56:15,206
Would it not be wise
to delay egress
956
00:56:15,372 --> 00:56:17,541
until the brunt of storm
has passed?
957
00:56:17,666 --> 00:56:20,419
A thing I do not need
informing of.
958
00:56:21,170 --> 00:56:23,214
Let us take wine and food
and break further word towards
959
00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:24,882
resurrection of old arena.
960
00:56:25,424 --> 00:56:28,552
I have thoughts towards artisans
from Neapolis and Pompeii
961
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,180
of much higher quality
than found within Capua,
962
00:56:31,806 --> 00:56:33,849
although at a cost
considerably greater--
963
00:56:34,016 --> 00:56:36,769
Such arrangements
prove unnecessary.
964
00:56:38,229 --> 00:56:40,606
Crassus has men in mind
towards labors?
965
00:56:40,731 --> 00:56:42,817
[laughs]
966
00:56:43,567 --> 00:56:44,652
No.
967
00:56:45,027 --> 00:56:47,113
He has instructed me to relay
whim has shifted
968
00:56:47,279 --> 00:56:50,950
towards construction of villas
to be sold or rented
969
00:56:51,325 --> 00:56:53,035
in place of costly arena.
970
00:56:54,078 --> 00:56:55,287
Villas?
971
00:56:57,873 --> 00:57:00,417
Was bargain not struck?
972
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,212
Did fucking Ashur not see union
973
00:57:03,379 --> 00:57:06,674
between Viridia
and Pompey halted?
974
00:57:07,341 --> 00:57:10,010
And we all stand
everlastingly grateful.
975
00:57:10,136 --> 00:57:11,303
Grateful?
976
00:57:13,013 --> 00:57:14,265
You stand
977
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:15,891
fucking grateful?
978
00:57:16,058 --> 00:57:17,893
Do not adopt such tone with me.
979
00:57:18,060 --> 00:57:21,105
Gabinius is gone
from this world.
980
00:57:21,230 --> 00:57:24,567
His daughter now beneath thumb
of fucking uncle,
981
00:57:24,733 --> 00:57:29,780
and you offer platitudes
in place of promised reward,
982
00:57:29,947 --> 00:57:31,490
you fucking cunt!
983
00:57:31,657 --> 00:57:33,617
[both grunt]
984
00:57:35,703 --> 00:57:37,705
- Dominus!
- [groans]
985
00:57:39,081 --> 00:57:40,166
Leave us.
986
00:57:40,875 --> 00:57:41,834
Go.
987
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:44,628
Oh, did I not warn you, Syrian?
988
00:57:44,753 --> 00:57:45,963
I stand
989
00:57:46,130 --> 00:57:48,549
fucking god upon mount,
990
00:57:48,799 --> 00:57:50,634
eclipsing the villain Pompey
991
00:57:50,801 --> 00:57:54,889
and soon even that
of mighty Crassus himself.
992
00:57:55,598 --> 00:57:56,765
And you
993
00:57:57,308 --> 00:58:00,102
shall hail me as such!
994
00:58:01,145 --> 00:58:03,314

Have you lost fucking mind?!
997
00:58:18,871 --> 00:58:20,372
[guard]
The horses are set to depart.
998
00:58:20,539 --> 00:58:22,666
Kill him! Go!
999
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,837
[Ashur groans]
