Everyone is intimidated by a shark. Become

2
00:01:14.089 --> 00:01:16.609
This is exactly what's wrong
with the towns of this province.

3
00:01:17.927 --> 00:01:19.796
No hospitality.

4
00:01:28.153 --> 00:01:29.856
If you aren't allowed to...

5
00:01:31.124 --> 00:01:33.326
sample the goods,

6
00:01:34.626 --> 00:01:37.030
how do you know if you want to buy 'em?

7
00:01:40.866 --> 00:01:44.637
We don't mean any harm.
We're here to protect you.

8
00:01:44.937 --> 00:01:46.406
That's why we've been sent here.

9
00:01:46.506 --> 00:01:48.857
Now, the fact that you ran from us...

10
00:01:50.107 --> 00:01:53.379
must mean you've got something to hide.

11
00:01:55.549 --> 00:01:57.584
Are you hiding something?

12
00:01:59.986 --> 00:02:02.356
Maybe we need to search you.

13
00:02:04.356 --> 00:02:07.294
Why don't you bastard Romans go home?

14
00:02:07.694 --> 00:02:11.531
It's because of people like you
we have to be here,

15
00:02:12.031 --> 00:02:16.183
people who fail to respect
the authority of Rome.

16
00:02:17.303 --> 00:02:21.241
May your children
be eaten by better boars.

17
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.548
Romans!

18
00:02:36.906 --> 00:02:40.994
You her boyfriend?
You look more like her sister to me.

19
00:02:50.536 --> 00:02:53.374
See? I told you this town
would be interesting.

20
00:03:18.364 --> 00:03:20.667
Maybe you should tell him
you like being with us.

21
00:03:20.767 --> 00:03:23.204
He should mind his own business.

22
00:03:26.939 --> 00:03:29.275
That's not very sporting.

23
00:03:46.392 --> 00:03:49.363
Maybe you should consider
another way, my friend.

24
00:03:55.652 --> 00:03:57.054
You should leave.

25
00:04:59.966 --> 00:05:01.968
Word of advice.

26
00:05:02.299 --> 00:05:06.605
One cannot always count on divine
providence in matters such as these.

27
00:05:07.305 --> 00:05:10.311
It is best not to start
a fight you cannot win.

28
00:05:12.111 --> 00:05:14.292
- Who said I wasn't gonna win?
- In my experience,

29
00:05:14.392 --> 00:05:18.525
the man lying bleeding on the ground
weaponless and surrounded by soldiers

30
00:05:18.625 --> 00:05:21.120
- is rarely the victor.
- But not you?

31
00:05:22.504 --> 00:05:25.308
No, not today.

32
00:05:45.611 --> 00:05:48.213
- Who are you?
- It's of no matter.

33
00:05:48.313 --> 00:05:51.450
You a soldier, former gladiator perhaps?

34
00:05:53.251 --> 00:05:57.924
Would you train me
to do what you just did, to fight?

35
00:05:58.524 --> 00:06:01.907
If you wish to truly live in peace,
you must forgive your tormentors.

36
00:06:02.427 --> 00:06:05.231
Forgiving the Romans
is something I can never do.

37
00:06:05.331 --> 00:06:07.100
Lusitania may be far from Rome,

38
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:10.702
but we still live under Roman law,
and Romans are everywhere.

39
00:06:11.402 --> 00:06:14.557
If you cannot accept that,
prepare for a life of pain.

40
00:06:14.657 --> 00:06:16.492
I cannot help you.

41
00:06:33.192 --> 00:06:35.694
Get to the meat of it, Kaeso.

42
00:06:36.194 --> 00:06:37.363
It was a disagreement.

43
00:06:37.463 --> 00:06:41.301
Well, I would hope this was not
the result of an agreement.

44
00:06:42.601 --> 00:06:47.374
It was a simple fight in a tavern, sir,
men letting off steam.

45
00:06:47.474 --> 00:06:51.243
May I ask the cause of said disagreement?

46
00:06:51.743 --> 00:06:54.046
It's not worthy of your time, sir.

47
00:07:03.154 --> 00:07:07.225
It was a woman, sir, a question of honor.

48
00:07:07.825 --> 00:07:11.163
I heard no report of a disturbance.

49
00:07:11.263 --> 00:07:15.001
This watering hole
is rather off-site, sir.

50
00:07:15.501 --> 00:07:18.937
- We shouldn't have frequented...
- No, you shouldn't!

51
00:07:22.575 --> 00:07:25.277
We gave more than we got, sir.

52
00:07:25.677 --> 00:07:27.679
I can assure you.

53
00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:30.784
The odds were not in our favor...

54
00:07:31.384 --> 00:07:35.020
- yet we prevailed.
- Well, I would hope so.

55
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.725
We wouldn't want the locals to think
our men weak, now, would we?

56
00:07:39.425 --> 00:07:44.430
No, sir. They will not have been left
with that impression, I can assure you.

57
00:07:45.630 --> 00:07:47.266
Dismissed.

58
00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:56.409
Can I find fault in Rome for the quality
of soldier assigned our garrison?

59
00:07:58.009 --> 00:08:01.013
Does not the medicine match the disease?

60
00:08:01.713 --> 00:08:06.451
This may be so. We are far from Rome.
Our borders are thin.

61
00:08:07.051 --> 00:08:09.955
Yet is it not an oversight
leaving the edges of empire

62
00:08:10.055 --> 00:08:13.825
to a fighting force
so weak and undisciplined?

63
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.009
Now, a man with less
experience would say...

64
00:08:17.109 --> 00:08:19.613
apply more discipline,
more rigorous training,

65
00:08:19.713 --> 00:08:22.139
but I tell you this tactic will not work.

66
00:08:22.999 --> 00:08:26.538
Rome needs to send us
a higher quality of soldier.

67
00:08:27.338 --> 00:08:30.642
I have requested that
at your insistence several times, sir.

68
00:08:30.742 --> 00:08:34.581
I know.
The silence from Rome speaks loudly.

69
00:08:34.981 --> 00:08:37.050
Nero busies himself.

70
00:08:37.550 --> 00:08:41.521
With his concubines,
his games, and his orgies.

71
00:08:43.721 --> 00:08:45.857
Maybe a gift would be in order,

72
00:08:45.957 --> 00:08:48.560
a tribute from our province
that would remind Rome of our value.

73
00:08:48.660 --> 00:08:52.194
What do we have here
that they do not already possess in Rome?

74
00:08:54.132 --> 00:08:57.006
We have cork. We are near to the sea,

75
00:08:57.106 --> 00:08:59.759
and possess a bounty of foodstuff
that Rome could only dream of.

76
00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:02.440
We are talking about Nero.

77
00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:07.614
This Kaeso and this fight
over a woman's given me an idea.

78
00:09:10.114 --> 00:09:12.151
We send women?

79
00:09:13.651 --> 00:09:16.261
Fresh concubines for Nero.

80
00:09:16.361 --> 00:09:19.769
Well, if we make inquiries, I'm sure
we can find some among the locals

81
00:09:19.869 --> 00:09:23.021
that'll please him, untouched, unspoiled.

82
00:09:24.361 --> 00:09:27.671
Would this not cause a disturbance
amongst the locals?

83
00:09:27.771 --> 00:09:32.806
If we take from the lower ranks, pay them
well enough, it'll lessen the disturbance.

84
00:09:33.606 --> 00:09:35.274
I see.

85
00:09:35.374 --> 00:09:37.979
If our gift finds favor with Nero,

86
00:09:38.079 --> 00:09:42.014
he will be more open to sending us
a higher caliber of soldier.

87
00:09:51.089 --> 00:09:55.961
How on earth can you show up at such a
fine establishment looking as such, Adrian?

88
00:09:56.061 --> 00:09:59.231
Well, at least I have an excuse.
What's yours, Caius?

89
00:09:59.331 --> 00:10:02.769
- Been sleeping with your sheep again?
- At least I have an occupation, Adrian.

90
00:10:02.869 --> 00:10:05.872
No, no. My ambitions are higher
than mere survival.

91
00:10:05.972 --> 00:10:08.206
From the looks of it,
survival should be your guide.

92
00:10:08.306 --> 00:10:11.670
- It was probably his sister Lucia.
- No, no, no, no. Believe me,

93
00:10:11.770 --> 00:10:15.415
if it was her, these wounds
would be much, much worse.

94
00:10:17.115 --> 00:10:19.852
- Yes.
- You've had too many.

95
00:10:38.337 --> 00:10:40.976
I think you'll find
what you're looking for...

96
00:10:41.076 --> 00:10:42.941
at the village down by the river.

97
00:10:43.041 --> 00:10:44.976
They're straight from the Azores,

98
00:10:45.076 --> 00:10:48.680
refugees, and you can have
your pick of the lot.

99
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.659
Now...

100
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.287
is it something you want us to take care of,
or will your boys be doing it?

101
00:10:55.387 --> 00:10:58.225
There will be coin in it
if you can be discreet.

102
00:10:59.125 --> 00:11:01.860
Well, they don't come to me
looking for a big show, now, do they?

103
00:11:02.660 --> 00:11:06.031
For expenses to start.
The rest on delivery.

104
00:11:06.331 --> 00:11:08.851
These women are destined to be
concubines for the Emperor Nero.

105
00:11:08.951 --> 00:11:10.787
It will be so.

106
00:11:21.047 --> 00:11:24.216
- There's trouble ahead.
- Well, what is it?

107
00:11:24.316 --> 00:11:27.602
Sergius and the Romans are plotting
something, and we need to stop it.

108
00:11:27.702 --> 00:11:29.054
Go on.

109
00:11:29.154 --> 00:11:31.389
The other day, I met a sort of sell-sword.

110
00:11:31.489 --> 00:11:33.358
No, we can deal
with this ourselves, Adrian.

111
00:11:33.458 --> 00:11:35.703
No. He's no ordinary mercenary,

112
00:11:35.803 --> 00:11:38.747
but I may need a bit of coin
from each of you.

113
00:11:57.850 --> 00:11:59.652
Where are you?

114
00:12:10.395 --> 00:12:13.085
Excuse me. May I help you?

115
00:12:13.485 --> 00:12:14.920
I've no money to pay you.

116
00:12:15.020 --> 00:12:19.070
I don't seek payment,
only to pass the time in conversation.

117
00:12:19.170 --> 00:12:21.806
- Well, go on then.
- I'm looking for someone.

118
00:12:21.906 --> 00:12:24.209
He's not too young,
but not as old as yourself.

119
00:12:24.309 --> 00:12:28.312
He's 17 stone and carries a staff,
although I don't think he needs it.

120
00:12:28.912 --> 00:12:33.185
Could be, but folks live out here because
they don't want interference with outsiders.

121
00:12:33.285 --> 00:12:36.825
I only wish to tell him thanks
and to offer him a job.

122
00:12:37.055 --> 00:12:39.242
Well, you may find him up that way.

123
00:12:39.592 --> 00:12:40.794
Thank you.

124
00:12:53.804 --> 00:12:56.135
You might think it a coincidence
that we meet on this trail,

125
00:12:56.235 --> 00:12:58.277
but I can confirm it is not.

126
00:12:59.010 --> 00:13:02.148
So you left the town
and made for safer climes.

127
00:13:02.248 --> 00:13:04.129
I wish.

128
00:13:04.629 --> 00:13:08.404
I told you before that I will not train you.
That path will only lead to pain.

129
00:13:08.504 --> 00:13:10.656
I wish to offer you a job.

130
00:13:10.756 --> 00:13:14.125
- I respectfully decline.
- You haven't heard the offer yet.

131
00:13:16.261 --> 00:13:19.999
From my experience, when a man
of no apparent means offers a job,

132
00:13:20.099 --> 00:13:23.817
- it is one rarely worthy of consideration.
- Hear me out.

133
00:13:26.855 --> 00:13:29.374
The Romans are planning to
capture slaves for Nero's concubines.

134
00:13:29.474 --> 00:13:31.877
These people are not choosing this
upon their own free will,

135
00:13:31.977 --> 00:13:34.480
nor were they born into slavery.

136
00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:37.983
They're being stolen,
and that I cannot abide.

137
00:13:38.783 --> 00:13:41.357
Will you join me in my efforts
to stop this offense?

138
00:13:41.887 --> 00:13:44.790
If one were to intercede in every injustice
that occurred in the world,

139
00:13:44.890 --> 00:13:46.792
one would toil from dusk until dawn.

140
00:13:46.892 --> 00:13:50.229
It would turn one's heart
as black as the coal from a fire.

141
00:13:51.664 --> 00:13:53.552
Better to tend to your own affairs.

142
00:13:53.652 --> 00:13:56.601
Do you not care about
the plight of the innocent?

143
00:14:00.739 --> 00:14:04.210
I am curious as to what your plan
would be to stop this raid.

144
00:14:04.310 --> 00:14:06.074
Would not only be me...

145
00:14:06.174 --> 00:14:09.365
but with a cadre of those who feel
as I do, who stand for the people.

146
00:14:09.815 --> 00:14:14.120
And who will soon all shortly be crucified
by the Romans on the outskirts of town.

147
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:17.056
If you feel as such,
why did you help me the other day?

148
00:14:18.456 --> 00:14:20.226
I did not do it for you.

149
00:14:22.260 --> 00:14:24.041
Now be on your way.

150
00:14:25.664 --> 00:14:28.701
And consider again
choosing the path of forgiveness.

151
00:14:38.943 --> 00:14:40.945
Almighty Lord...

152
00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:46.085
I know I have not always followed
the path of righteousness.

153
00:14:46.885 --> 00:14:48.920
I have sinned.

154
00:14:49.988 --> 00:14:52.392
But you have always shown me the way.

155
00:14:53.492 --> 00:14:56.396
Now I ask for your guidance once again.

156
00:14:59.765 --> 00:15:02.267
Since I finished my work at Calixto...

157
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.538
I have been listening for signs
as to what to do.

158
00:16:37.228 --> 00:16:40.198
- What is your name?
- Melina.

159
00:16:50.542 --> 00:16:52.511
Load 'em up.

160
00:16:53.611 --> 00:16:55.847
Right. Open the cart.

161
00:17:19.071 --> 00:17:21.207
That's it. That's enough.

162
00:17:21.307 --> 00:17:23.635
It's a fair week's ride to Rome.

163
00:17:23.735 --> 00:17:26.578
We won't have enough rations for any more.

164
00:17:27.178 --> 00:17:29.448
So that's your lot then.

165
00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:29.340
Quick! Split up!

166
00:18:41.385 --> 00:18:43.020
Well, that went rather well.

167
00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:47.359
I feel your gift will be
rather well received, sir.

168
00:18:48.159 --> 00:18:50.261
I have a question for you, Cyprian.

169
00:18:51.161 --> 00:18:55.501
How come those young men who tried
to interfere knew of our operation?

170
00:18:57.703 --> 00:18:59.858
I just suspected they were
from the refugee camp.

171
00:18:59.958 --> 00:19:01.205
Were they?

172
00:19:01.305 --> 00:19:05.812
I got the distinct impression they were
trying to sabotage our operation.

173
00:19:07.846 --> 00:19:10.781
These people are merely trying
to protect their loved ones.

174
00:19:10.881 --> 00:19:15.087
Because if there were some kind
of organized rebellion in this area,

175
00:19:15.187 --> 00:19:16.722
I'd want to know about it.

176
00:19:16.822 --> 00:19:20.159
I find that highly unlikely, sir,
but I will keep an ear to the ground.

177
00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:22.081
You do that.

178
00:19:44.499 --> 00:19:47.852
- The Romans, they took...
- I know. I've been to the camp.

179
00:19:47.952 --> 00:19:50.171
I want to go with you.

180
00:19:50.271 --> 00:19:52.207
If you're willing to die, then get in.

181
00:20:02.067 --> 00:20:04.696
- What weapons do you have?
- I have my knife.

182
00:20:04.796 --> 00:20:07.840
Keep it as last resort. If they
capture you, you can kill yourself.

183
00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:08.974
What?

184
00:20:09.074 --> 00:20:12.644
- Can't afford to kill the Romans.
- Have you seen what they've been doing?

185
00:20:12.744 --> 00:20:15.980
You kill one, and you have
the entire legion hunting you down.

186
00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:18.901
Wound them, take their honor,
then you might live.

187
00:20:32.514 --> 00:20:34.348
Stop the cart.

188
00:20:41.139 --> 00:20:43.559
Agree with me on this.
Or I'll throw you from this chariot.

189
00:20:47.112 --> 00:20:50.015
- You're insane.
- I've never claimed otherwise.

190
00:21:47.255 --> 00:21:48.823
So that's your sell-sword.

191
00:21:50.470 --> 00:21:52.944
He's worth far more than we could pay him.

192
00:22:05.255 --> 00:22:07.124
It's all clear.

193
00:22:18.169 --> 00:22:19.836
Come on.

194
00:22:24.425 --> 00:22:26.061
All right. Go on.

195
00:22:26.161 --> 00:22:29.180
This place isn't safe for you anymore.
Do you have anywhere else to go?

196
00:22:30.230 --> 00:22:31.332
Yes.

197
00:22:31.482 --> 00:22:34.703
Pack up your things and leave
before the Romans return.

198
00:22:38.605 --> 00:22:42.044
All of you should leave this place soon.

199
00:22:42.144 --> 00:22:45.580
The Romans will be coming after us.
It's just a matter of time.

200
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.853
And where would we go? This is our home.

201
00:22:48.953 --> 00:22:52.687
I was born on this land.
We are from here, and they are not.

202
00:22:53.087 --> 00:22:56.338
- We shall not leave.
- It would be better to stop fighting.

203
00:22:56.808 --> 00:22:59.961
As sure as the sun rises,
you will die if you continue this fight.

204
00:23:00.061 --> 00:23:03.568
That may be,
but I will still get my revenge.

205
00:23:03.798 --> 00:23:07.402
You have spirit, but you are
no match for Roman soldiers.

206
00:23:08.102 --> 00:23:11.707
They will send out a force to
seek revenge for this incident.

207
00:23:12.307 --> 00:23:14.642
Believe me, they will get it.

208
00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:17.011
I don't care if I die.

209
00:23:17.111 --> 00:23:19.480
I will never stop fighting.

210
00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:21.950
Adrian.

211
00:23:23.551 --> 00:23:25.920
The warmer humors rule him.

212
00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:28.324
It has always been so.

213
00:23:29.524 --> 00:23:31.760
Yet we owe him so much.

214
00:23:33.228 --> 00:23:38.400
We are all free men, but in status,
we are but a little higher than a slave.

215
00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:41.268
Adrian gathered us together.

216
00:23:41.768 --> 00:23:46.242
He inspired us with an idea that one
day the Romans would no longer rule.

217
00:23:46.842 --> 00:23:50.845
And that's something coming
from someone who overcame so much.

218
00:23:51.245 --> 00:23:52.948
What do you mean?

219
00:23:53.048 --> 00:23:55.083
Adrian's an orphan.

220
00:23:56.083 --> 00:23:58.487
His father died when he was young.

221
00:23:59.121 --> 00:24:01.557
He was brought up by only his mother.

222
00:24:01.957 --> 00:24:04.860
She had Adrian and a little girl, Lucia.

223
00:24:06.728 --> 00:24:08.829
Then, one day, when the Romans
came to the village,

224
00:24:08.929 --> 00:24:11.916
they wanted to claim
his mother as their prize.

225
00:24:12.016 --> 00:24:14.230
When she refused...

226
00:24:15.336 --> 00:24:19.077
they got mad
and beat her to the point of death.

227
00:24:21.375 --> 00:24:23.578
Adrian was just a boy.

228
00:24:24.378 --> 00:24:27.595
Since then, he has brought up
his sister all alone.

229
00:24:28.249 --> 00:24:33.056
That's why Adrian hates the Romans and
anyone who takes advantage of the people.

230
00:24:35.222 --> 00:24:37.291
Where does Adrian live?

231
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:54.109
Leave her alone!

232
00:24:54.209 --> 00:24:57.712
- She's got nothing to do with this!
- Maybe so.

233
00:24:57.812 --> 00:25:00.348
Let her go,
and I'll come with you willingly.

234
00:25:00.448 --> 00:25:02.484
You're coming with us.

235
00:25:03.484 --> 00:25:05.651
And so is she.

236
00:25:05.921 --> 00:25:08.403
She'll be heading for Nero's palace...

237
00:25:09.841 --> 00:25:11.643
thanks to you.

238
00:25:24.973 --> 00:25:26.542
Legionnaire!

239
00:25:28.208 --> 00:25:30.044
You are a disgrace!

240
00:25:30.144 --> 00:25:32.847
Lower your sword,
and return to your barracks.

241
00:25:33.782 --> 00:25:36.035
Return to our barracks?

242
00:25:36.535 --> 00:25:37.987
Right.

243
00:25:50.998 --> 00:25:55.069
I spent three years in the galleys
and six more in the arena.

244
00:25:55.469 --> 00:25:58.474
I have killed men in ways
you couldn't imagine.

245
00:25:58.574 --> 00:26:01.909
Now, if you do not lower your sword
and leave, I will maim you...

246
00:26:02.209 --> 00:26:05.812
and then I will hunt down your family
and kill them while they sleep.

247
00:26:06.112 --> 00:26:09.617
When I have done that,
I will come back and finish your life.

248
00:26:10.217 --> 00:26:12.157
So choose your next move carefully.

249
00:26:19.894 --> 00:26:21.695
Who are you?

250
00:26:22.530 --> 00:26:25.067
To you, I am no one.

251
00:26:25.467 --> 00:26:27.836
It is best you forget all you know of me

252
00:26:27.936 --> 00:26:30.405
and forget about this place after today.

253
00:26:55.429 --> 00:26:57.431
I had the matter in hand.

254
00:26:57.831 --> 00:27:01.003
- So I could see.
- Thank you.

255
00:27:04.772 --> 00:27:07.709
You may have noticed my brother
is as modest as he is wise.

256
00:27:08.209 --> 00:27:10.479
He does have a certain boldness about him.

257
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.655
My name is Lucia Bardilo.

258
00:27:15.665 --> 00:27:17.118
I am Judah Ben-Hur.

259
00:27:17.218 --> 00:27:21.056
Are you the Ben-Hur who built
the Calixto catacombs of Rome?

260
00:27:21.656 --> 00:27:23.992
Our mother spoke of visiting there.

261
00:27:25.293 --> 00:27:27.243
You are Judah Ben-Hur?

262
00:27:28.897 --> 00:27:32.368
How did this happen,
your arrival in Lusitania?

263
00:27:33.667 --> 00:27:36.805
By luck and divine providence.

264
00:27:38.338 --> 00:27:41.510
Before my wealth was extinguished,
we were able to complete the catacombs.

265
00:27:41.710 --> 00:27:43.911
For that, I am grateful.

266
00:27:44.511 --> 00:27:47.723
But then, a great plague of typhus
spread from the Tiber.

267
00:27:48.649 --> 00:27:50.719
It claimed many...

268
00:27:51.219 --> 00:27:53.488
my wife and children among them.

269
00:27:54.988 --> 00:27:56.395
When I had laid them to rest,

270
00:27:56.495 --> 00:27:59.601
I took my horses and traveled
the roads of the Empire...

271
00:27:59.701 --> 00:28:01.762
eventually ending up here.

272
00:28:01.862 --> 00:28:05.180
No one to trouble me, I thought I'd end
my days in peace and solitude here.

273
00:28:06.734 --> 00:28:09.371
Then I'm sorry for dragging you
into all of this.

274
00:28:09.471 --> 00:28:11.941
It was my decision to become involved.

275
00:28:14.441 --> 00:28:16.645
I don't know what to say.

276
00:28:17.245 --> 00:28:18.963
Thank you.

277
00:28:19.213 --> 00:28:22.282
Do not thank me. Thank your friend Caius.

278
00:28:22.382 --> 00:28:24.886
He's the one that told me where you lived.

279
00:28:25.286 --> 00:28:28.356
I did not come here
to rescue you from Romans.

280
00:28:29.023 --> 00:28:31.910
I have reconsidered your offer
to train you and your brothers.

281
00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:36.096
- But there are conditions.
- Of course.

282
00:28:36.196 --> 00:28:38.565
Are you willing to do anything
to stop the Romans?

283
00:28:38.665 --> 00:28:39.834
Yes.

284
00:28:41.202 --> 00:28:43.003
To die?

285
00:28:43.771 --> 00:28:45.241
Yes.

286
00:28:47.008 --> 00:28:49.293
Then I will train you both.

287
00:28:49.393 --> 00:28:52.180
For once we start down this road,
there is no coming back.

288
00:28:53.948 --> 00:28:56.552
So you both must be self-sufficient.

289
00:28:57.052 --> 00:28:59.988
If you agree to that,
then we can continue.

290
00:29:05.541 --> 00:29:07.612
Go and pack your things.

291
00:29:16.838 --> 00:29:21.843
I read how Caesar was repelled
from Britannia by warriors on chariots.

292
00:29:22.143 --> 00:29:25.079
Yes, a lost art.

293
00:29:25.979 --> 00:29:29.739
Chariots are still common in the arena,
but on the battlefield,

294
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:31.786
cavalry is now king.

295
00:29:31.886 --> 00:29:35.522
I read how the warriors,
they rode their chariots two up,

296
00:29:35.622 --> 00:29:37.926
one the driver,
the other free to bear arms,

297
00:29:38.026 --> 00:29:41.562
even leaping from the chariot
to attack on foot

298
00:29:41.662 --> 00:29:45.801
and then running back to the safety of the
chariot before his offender could attack.

299
00:29:46.701 --> 00:29:47.923
She reads a lot.

300
00:29:49.237 --> 00:29:52.873
Could you teach me to ride the chariot?
I can ride a horse.

301
00:29:53.573 --> 00:29:56.544
Before our mother passed,
we had many horses.

302
00:29:56.944 --> 00:30:00.452
- She's a good rider.
- I can use a bow and a sling, too.

303
00:30:01.182 --> 00:30:05.170
Yep. Many a grouse and squirrel
have fallen from her arrows.

304
00:30:07.855 --> 00:30:12.193
There is a difference between using
your bow to hunt and using it in combat.

305
00:30:12.993 --> 00:30:15.796
Do you think you could raise
your bow against another person?

306
00:30:16.396 --> 00:30:19.167
If it were a Roman, gladly.

307
00:30:24.638 --> 00:30:28.027
Today, you will find you have
the same resources available

308
00:30:28.127 --> 00:30:30.545
as any combatant you will encounter.

309
00:30:31.045 --> 00:30:36.084
You have two arms, two legs
and a head to control them.

310
00:30:37.484 --> 00:30:41.622
If you are successful,
you will retain those attributes,

311
00:30:42.622 --> 00:30:46.084
although your opponents will dearly
like to deprive you of them.

312
00:30:46.761 --> 00:30:48.931
Adrian, step forward.

313
00:30:55.034 --> 00:30:56.870
Engage me.

314
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.545
Your objective is not
to react to your opponent.

315
00:31:04.645 --> 00:31:08.718
Your goal is to anticipate the move.

316
00:31:22.662 --> 00:31:24.165
Good.

317
00:31:24.265 --> 00:31:27.368
If you are using a sword
or other bladed weapon...

318
00:31:27.568 --> 00:31:31.191
there are a finite number of motions
you can use to propagate an attack.

319
00:31:32.171 --> 00:31:35.776
By studying the birth of the attack,
you can counter it.

320
00:31:37.361 --> 00:31:38.963
Attack me.

321
00:31:49.422 --> 00:31:51.393
If you can observe your opponent...

322
00:31:51.893 --> 00:31:55.764
you can anticipate their move
and counterstrike.

323
00:32:08.809 --> 00:32:12.292
Observe, anticipate, counterstrike.

324
00:32:13.212 --> 00:32:15.783
Otherwise, you will be on the defensive.

325
00:32:15.883 --> 00:32:18.153
Any counterattack will be off balance.

326
00:32:21.422 --> 00:32:24.158
You will learn the feints
for every weapon...

327
00:32:25.158 --> 00:32:27.428
how to counter each one.

328
00:32:28.828 --> 00:32:31.365
Now, everybody pair up.

329
00:32:37.504 --> 00:32:40.776
We start with a straight thrust.

330
00:32:45.580 --> 00:32:50.385
Are you telling me that you were unable to
find those responsible for this incident?

331
00:32:50.835 --> 00:32:54.271
Aye. That is correct, sir.

332
00:32:54.821 --> 00:32:58.026
And what do you believe
their motivations were?

333
00:33:00.861 --> 00:33:02.744
I cannot say.

334
00:33:03.964 --> 00:33:06.123
Cyprian, you have
an ear to the ground here.

335
00:33:06.223 --> 00:33:11.173
Is this an isolated incident, or is it
a symptom of some larger rebellion?

336
00:33:12.540 --> 00:33:14.909
There is some civil unrest.

337
00:33:15.009 --> 00:33:17.278
I wouldn't call it organized.

338
00:33:17.378 --> 00:33:20.015
- It may have been personal.
- Personal?

339
00:33:20.115 --> 00:33:22.883
You mean this is a direct affront
to my authority?

340
00:33:22.983 --> 00:33:24.724
- I think they...
- Shut up.

341
00:33:24.824 --> 00:33:27.521
You're confined to barracks
till further notice.

342
00:33:38.598 --> 00:33:40.968
I didn't mean you personally, sir.

343
00:33:41.068 --> 00:33:45.038
I meant the ones who did this didn't
like their people taken for concubines.

344
00:33:46.173 --> 00:33:49.011
Incidents of this nature
cannot be tolerated.

345
00:33:49.111 --> 00:33:53.564
Once word gets out that Roman law can
be defied, it opens the doors to sedition.

346
00:33:54.214 --> 00:33:57.418
We must be swift and merciless
with our reprisals.

347
00:33:57.718 --> 00:34:00.578
- I agree.
- The true measure...

348
00:34:00.678 --> 00:34:03.490
will be how we use this affront
to our advantage.

349
00:34:04.390 --> 00:34:08.262
But the men we have we know
are useless in this kind of situation.

350
00:34:08.762 --> 00:34:12.633
Cyprian, what does one do
when the knife is dull?

351
00:34:14.100 --> 00:34:15.567
Sharpen it.

352
00:34:15.667 --> 00:34:20.308
Yes, but if the steel is not true,
it'll soon turn dull again.

353
00:34:20.708 --> 00:34:23.343
We need new knives
honed of tempered steel.

354
00:34:24.443 --> 00:34:27.565
And where would one find
such knives, as it were, sir?

355
00:34:27.665 --> 00:34:29.950
With the wars winding down in Carthage,

356
00:34:30.050 --> 00:34:34.254
a great many experienced sell-swords
can be found seeking work.

357
00:34:34.954 --> 00:34:40.227
I don't think we need look very far
at all to find our new knives.

358
00:34:57.011 --> 00:35:00.247
I am Atticus, veteran of the Tenth Legion,

359
00:35:00.347 --> 00:35:02.750
pensioned after honorable service in Gaul.

360
00:35:02.850 --> 00:35:05.936
I'm now free to pursue
more lucrative employment.

361
00:35:06.036 --> 00:35:07.572
Were you a gladiator?

362
00:35:07.672 --> 00:35:10.957
I was trained at the Ludus in Rome,
where I fought for my freedom.

363
00:35:11.057 --> 00:35:15.229
- I then enlisted in the Tenth Legion.
- Was your retirement honorable?

364
00:35:15.529 --> 00:35:20.001
It was a honor to fight alongside
the many that died in the Tenth.

365
00:35:20.601 --> 00:35:24.788
That I did not when so many did,
it made me ponder my purpose.

366
00:35:24.888 --> 00:35:27.192
And did you find said purpose?

367
00:35:28.142 --> 00:35:31.746
Aye, to gather my brothers and sisters

368
00:35:31.846 --> 00:35:34.080
for future service of Rome.

369
00:35:34.180 --> 00:35:37.318
I see. Gratitude, Atticus.

370
00:35:43.656 --> 00:35:45.158
Laquearius.

371
00:35:45.258 --> 00:35:48.963
No need to announce every one.
We've all been to the arena.

372
00:35:50.263 --> 00:35:54.135
- Are you a Sagartian?
- Aye, sir. I'm from Zagros.

373
00:35:54.235 --> 00:35:56.037
I fought and won in Rome.

374
00:35:56.137 --> 00:35:59.474
- Can you show me how?
- A volunteer?

375
00:36:14.287 --> 00:36:17.391
Gratitude. You may join us.

376
00:36:23.063 --> 00:36:26.000
This is Tauri from Dacia.

377
00:36:29.870 --> 00:36:31.739
A Scythian?

378
00:36:35.042 --> 00:36:36.644
Does he speak?

379
00:36:38.712 --> 00:36:40.683
If so, we have not heard him.

380
00:36:40.783 --> 00:36:44.853
But he understands,
and his ax speaks loudly enough.

381
00:36:48.321 --> 00:36:50.290
- Is he deaf?
- No.

382
00:36:50.390 --> 00:36:53.861
It is believed that he witnessed
such horrors in his youth

383
00:36:53.961 --> 00:36:57.998
when his village was raided
that he lost the ability to speak.

384
00:36:58.798 --> 00:37:01.702
And he bears no ill will towards Romans?

385
00:37:02.002 --> 00:37:06.274
It was not the Romans that raided
his village. It was the Budini.

386
00:37:08.174 --> 00:37:09.626
The curs.

387
00:37:09.726 --> 00:37:12.863
He fought with the Romans to push back
the Budinis into the dark forest

388
00:37:12.963 --> 00:37:15.265
where they rot and fester.

389
00:37:16.115 --> 00:37:20.054
There are few others
I would wish to watch my back.

390
00:37:20.954 --> 00:37:22.956
Welcome, Scythian.

391
00:37:27.261 --> 00:37:29.384
And who might you be?

392
00:37:29.864 --> 00:37:31.931
I am Veleda Araeo.

393
00:37:32.031 --> 00:37:35.335
I trained at the Collegia Iuvenum
in Rome as a gladiatrix.

394
00:37:36.335 --> 00:37:38.204
You were a slave?

395
00:37:39.305 --> 00:37:41.147
I am a free woman,

396
00:37:41.247 --> 00:37:44.711
daughter of Quillius Araeo,
gladiator of Rome.

397
00:37:44.811 --> 00:37:48.848
You were a venatore? You killed
animals in the hunt in the arena?

398
00:37:48.948 --> 00:37:51.969
Yes. I also fought in the arena.

399
00:37:52.069 --> 00:37:54.906
- Against gladiatrices?
- That is the custom.

400
00:37:56.407 --> 00:37:58.709
You have fought against men?

401
00:37:59.409 --> 00:38:02.012
That is not the custom in the arena.

402
00:38:03.012 --> 00:38:04.961
I did fight with the garrison

403
00:38:05.061 --> 00:38:08.919
under Lucius Caedicius
at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

404
00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:12.191
I stood side by side with centurion.

405
00:38:12.423 --> 00:38:15.921
I cannot say for certain,
but I believe most of them were men.

406
00:38:17.060 --> 00:38:21.698
When the fortress fell, she was one
of the ones who stayed to fight

407
00:38:21.798 --> 00:38:24.535
to allow the legion to make their escape.

408
00:38:25.435 --> 00:38:29.640
It was a dark day for the empire.
You have honored Rome.

409
00:38:30.140 --> 00:38:32.476
Fortune has favored us, Cyprian.

410
00:38:38.148 --> 00:38:40.884
This is Braga...

411
00:38:41.913 --> 00:38:46.089
the last of the Gallaeci tribe,
who fought so formidably

412
00:38:46.189 --> 00:38:50.028
that she was allowed to live
on one condition...

413
00:38:50.128 --> 00:38:52.896
she fight in the arenas in Rome.

414
00:38:53.931 --> 00:38:56.568
The Gallaecian spirit
is well known in these parts.

415
00:38:56.668 --> 00:38:59.733
Perhaps a demonstration
of the throwing knives.

416
00:38:59.833 --> 00:39:02.739
Are these a tradition amongst your people?

417
00:39:02.839 --> 00:39:04.090
No, sir.

418
00:39:04.190 --> 00:39:07.899
- I have not seen anything like them before.
- I created them myself.

419
00:39:16.152 --> 00:39:19.523
Impressive. Welcome to our cadre, Braga.

420
00:39:26.030 --> 00:39:27.911
This is Khutu.

421
00:39:28.011 --> 00:39:30.251
She is from the Xiongnu clan,

422
00:39:30.351 --> 00:39:33.333
a vast tribe of bowmen and riders that...

423
00:39:33.433 --> 00:39:37.174
roam the vast steppe
to the east of the empire.

424
00:39:37.274 --> 00:39:40.270
And how do you find it here
by the sea so far from home?

425
00:39:40.610 --> 00:39:43.933
The men here bleed and die

426
00:39:44.033 --> 00:39:47.121
in a manner far superior to those

427
00:39:47.221 --> 00:39:50.255
from the province from which I come.

428
00:39:51.455 --> 00:39:54.991
- How so?
- I would not call them weak,

429
00:39:55.091 --> 00:39:59.630
yet a life indoors
away from the wind and sky

430
00:39:59.730 --> 00:40:03.101
makes them fall quicker to the earth.

431
00:40:04.851 --> 00:40:06.388
Welcome, Khutu.

432
00:40:10.706 --> 00:40:15.025
Sir, I do not mean to overstep,
but we are here to find soldiers,

433
00:40:15.125 --> 00:40:18.463
- not arena sideshow attractions.
- Cyprian...

434
00:40:19.063 --> 00:40:23.386
your council is valued well,
but you show your inexperience.

435
00:40:23.486 --> 00:40:28.725
In many far-flung regions of the empire,
the women fight alongside the men.

436
00:40:28.825 --> 00:40:32.597
The valiant nature of such warriors
has been recorded by many.

437
00:40:32.697 --> 00:40:36.217
If Atticus vouches for them without
reservation, that is good enough for me.

438
00:40:37.834 --> 00:40:39.930
As you will.

439
00:40:42.371 --> 00:40:46.125
You will assemble at the 17th
Legion garrison at first light.

440
00:40:46.225 --> 00:40:48.396
There, you will receive your instructions.

441
00:40:49.246 --> 00:40:50.671
Gratitude.

442
00:40:50.771 --> 00:40:52.648
I did not mean to overstep, sir.

443
00:40:52.748 --> 00:40:56.086
No, I've always valued
you speaking your mind.

444
00:40:56.186 --> 00:40:58.154
So let me ask you a question.

445
00:40:58.254 --> 00:41:03.343
What method would you use to flush out
those responsible for our troubles of late?

446
00:41:03.693 --> 00:41:06.029
I would seek out Sergius.

447
00:41:06.129 --> 00:41:08.866
Someone in his employ
must have given away our plan.

448
00:41:10.066 --> 00:41:13.202
The best way to gauge
someone's reaction in the future

449
00:41:13.302 --> 00:41:15.972
is to see how they reacted in the past.

450
00:41:16.572 --> 00:41:20.978
With that in mind,
I propose a different strategy...

451
00:41:21.578 --> 00:41:24.485
one where it does not matter from
whose lips the information spilled.

452
00:41:25.415 --> 00:41:27.986
One where it may, in fact,
benefit from the spilling.

453
00:41:36.026 --> 00:41:39.226
In the arena, women were pitted
against animals and other women...

454
00:41:39.596 --> 00:41:42.419
but in a real-life battle,
there are no such rules.

455
00:41:42.699 --> 00:41:45.670
Your opponent's size or sex
should not be taken lightly.

456
00:41:45.870 --> 00:41:50.975
Reach is an advantage, but speed and
agility can overcome a larger opponent.

457
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.485
You must know where to strike and have
the presence of mind to seize that moment

458
00:42:06.585 --> 00:42:08.593
when presented with it.

459
00:42:12.296 --> 00:42:15.534
Use your opponent's weight
and momentum against them.

460
00:42:23.157 --> 00:42:25.059
Better.

461
00:42:27.410 --> 00:42:29.246
Right thrust.

462
00:42:30.381 --> 00:42:32.449
Left side strike.

463
00:42:33.884 --> 00:42:35.886
Right side strike.

464
00:42:37.221 --> 00:42:38.823
Uppercut.

465
00:42:39.290 --> 00:42:40.451
Downward strike.

466
00:42:41.457 --> 00:42:43.493
Good. Now faster.

467
00:42:43.593 --> 00:42:45.096
Straight thrust.

468
00:42:45.996 --> 00:42:47.831
Left side strike.

469
00:42:48.197 --> 00:42:49.800
Right side strike.

470
00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:52.122
Uppercut.

471
00:42:52.902 --> 00:42:54.565
Downward strike.

472
00:42:54.905 --> 00:42:57.507
Very good. Now switch roles.

473
00:42:58.241 --> 00:43:02.413
I'm ready to tear the Romans apart
like a wild Illyrian dog on a hare.

474
00:43:02.513 --> 00:43:05.316
You speak like a Thracian, Aurelia.

475
00:43:05.416 --> 00:43:08.018
I'll drink the Roman's blood, Darius.

476
00:43:14.157 --> 00:43:15.726
Line up!

477
00:43:20.095 --> 00:43:22.399
You're ready to go up against the Romans?

478
00:43:36.278 --> 00:43:37.914
Ready.

479
00:43:44.555 --> 00:43:45.656
Ready.

480
00:43:51.493 --> 00:43:53.184
Let's see it.

481
00:43:56.265 --> 00:43:58.087
Are you ready?

482
00:44:05.876 --> 00:44:08.705
- Ready?
- No?

483
00:44:15.485 --> 00:44:18.789
If you believe you have mastered something,
you are no longer the master.

484
00:44:19.289 --> 00:44:21.329
You are a fool.

485
00:44:22.626 --> 00:44:25.176
A wise man knows his limitations

486
00:44:25.276 --> 00:44:28.364
and does not pick a fight
he has little chance of winning.

487
00:44:30.634 --> 00:44:32.503
Think on that.

488
00:44:38.942 --> 00:44:41.011
So how are we doing,

489
00:44:41.111 --> 00:44:43.247
exceeding your expectations?

490
00:44:44.547 --> 00:44:47.651
If one could kill with mirth,
you would be a champion.

491
00:44:47.751 --> 00:44:50.887
Believe me, I've tried.
It's just as ineffective.

492
00:44:55.324 --> 00:44:57.594
You have two things going for you.

493
00:44:57.994 --> 00:45:00.763
You are young, and you are determined.

494
00:45:00.863 --> 00:45:03.120
But you are headstrong...

495
00:45:03.220 --> 00:45:05.524
and quick to rush into a fray.

496
00:45:06.802 --> 00:45:08.538
You must learn control.

497
00:45:09.038 --> 00:45:11.308
When will we be ready to fight?

498
00:45:14.344 --> 00:45:17.180
Two, maybe three years
of constant training.

499
00:45:18.815 --> 00:45:22.319
Then you might survive an encounter
with a soldier of the likes stationed here.

500
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.322
And these men are not seasoned veterans.

501
00:45:26.436 --> 00:45:29.040
If you were to go up against
a soldier from Rome,

502
00:45:29.140 --> 00:45:33.296
one from the campaigns or one
with gladiatorial experience,

503
00:45:33.696 --> 00:45:36.707
your prospects of survival
would diminish rapidly.

504
00:45:37.567 --> 00:45:40.203
I don't have time to sit
and hide in the woods.

505
00:45:43.372 --> 00:45:45.442
If you were to go up
against the Romans now,

506
00:45:45.542 --> 00:45:47.978
it would be a conflict remembered
only for its brevity.

507
00:45:48.078 --> 00:45:49.930
But you didn't say who'd be the victor.

508
00:45:54.500 --> 00:45:56.336
Why are you in such a rush to die?

509
00:45:58.288 --> 00:46:01.693
Living under the Romans,
I might as well be dead.

510
00:46:04.395 --> 00:46:06.730
Teach me how to ride the chariot.

511
00:46:08.832 --> 00:46:13.237
Learn the basics first.
Then we'll move to mounted combat.

512
00:46:42.966 --> 00:46:44.968
Gather your men and your mercenaries.

513
00:46:52.107 --> 00:46:54.243
Give me an hour.

514
00:46:54.343 --> 00:46:56.080
I'll have what you need.

515
00:47:12.396 --> 00:47:13.830
It's not much.

516
00:47:13.930 --> 00:47:17.134
The Romans took most of the weapons
when they captured the province.

517
00:47:17.234 --> 00:47:19.036
Iberian steel.

518
00:47:21.003 --> 00:47:22.839
Roman steel...

519
00:47:23.889 --> 00:47:26.459
the foundation of their empire.

520
00:47:26.959 --> 00:47:28.961
Found in their swords

521
00:47:29.061 --> 00:47:32.478
and in the nails that build
their fortifications.

522
00:47:33.178 --> 00:47:36.702
The secrets of Roman tempered steel are
what allowed them to rule over so many.

523
00:47:36.802 --> 00:47:39.406
My father worked the marble mines
until it was the death of him.

524
00:47:40.556 --> 00:47:43.068
Many of these swords were fashioned there.

525
00:47:43.168 --> 00:47:45.862
Weapons such as these
should be used as a last resort.

526
00:47:47.763 --> 00:47:50.149
That's why we're training,
to kill the Romans.

527
00:47:50.249 --> 00:47:53.270
No. You have been learning how to survive.

528
00:47:55.338 --> 00:47:57.007
Adrian!

529
00:47:59.608 --> 00:48:03.379
The Romans are in the village. They're
lining up people on the wall outside town.

530
00:48:03.479 --> 00:48:06.284
They're hunting those responsible
for foiling the raid on the river camp.

531
00:48:06.384 --> 00:48:10.654
Stay here, all of you. If you wish to
remain alive, refrain from following.

532
00:48:10.754 --> 00:48:13.758
- But these are my people.
- You are not ready.

533
00:48:24.635 --> 00:48:26.970
Lucia, stay behind.

534
00:49:59.728 --> 00:50:01.799
I am the one you are looking for.

535
00:50:01.899 --> 00:50:03.764
You alone were responsible?

536
00:50:04.434 --> 00:50:06.736
I did hire some local sell-swords,

537
00:50:06.836 --> 00:50:10.574
but they were of negligible worth.
They are no longer in my employ.

538
00:50:10.674 --> 00:50:14.545
You do understand that your offense
is punishable by death?

539
00:50:14.645 --> 00:50:18.215
I was hoping I might be rewarded
with a villa in Cyprus...

540
00:50:18.315 --> 00:50:21.217
but I am unfamiliar
with current Roman statutes.

541
00:50:21.317 --> 00:50:23.186
Good sir...

542
00:50:23.786 --> 00:50:27.524
I propose we save Rome
the expense of a trial...

543
00:50:28.224 --> 00:50:30.160
and the laborious process

544
00:50:30.260 --> 00:50:33.497
of witnessing the machinations of justice.

545
00:50:34.247 --> 00:50:38.005
In our fine province,
I propose trial by sword.

546
00:50:45.875 --> 00:50:48.611
- Sir, this is rather unorthodox.
- Silence!

547
00:50:56.153 --> 00:50:57.755
But he is unarmed.

548
00:50:59.089 --> 00:51:00.358
His mistake.

549
00:52:01.951 --> 00:52:04.020
Go ahead. Finish him.

550
00:52:05.318 --> 00:52:07.183
As you wish.

551
00:52:45.628 --> 00:52:47.197
Move.

552
00:53:00.310 --> 00:53:03.546
- I told you to stay back.
- You should be grateful we didn't.

553
00:53:18.527 --> 00:53:21.595
- If you want to live, leave now.
- You'll be killed.

554
00:53:24.133 --> 00:53:26.169
That may be,

555
00:53:26.269 --> 00:53:29.674
but if we all die,
who will continue the fight?

556
00:53:32.442 --> 00:53:34.744
- Steady. Steady.
- We must retreat to the garrison.

557
00:53:34.844 --> 00:53:37.680
- Gather reinforcements.
- You are wise.

558
00:53:37.780 --> 00:53:40.784
I will engage the enemy while Kaeso
will take you back to the fort.

559
00:53:44.153 --> 00:53:46.736
- Step aside.
- We do not retreat.

560
00:53:46.836 --> 00:53:49.993
You may stay and fight but we must get the
Legatus back to the garrison for treatment.

561
00:53:50.093 --> 00:53:53.197
I have seen many injuries in battle.
This one does not look life-threatening.

562
00:53:53.297 --> 00:53:55.118
We stay and fight.

563
00:53:55.498 --> 00:53:58.358
I would think again on the consequences
before disobeying a direct order

564
00:53:58.458 --> 00:54:00.852
- from a Roman official.
- Orders or no...

565
00:54:00.952 --> 00:54:04.407
if it were to become known that we were
defeated by one man and a band of children,

566
00:54:04.507 --> 00:54:07.209
how often do you think
I'd find myself in employ?

567
00:54:07.309 --> 00:54:10.994
We stay and fight, and we shall prevail.
Of this, I am certain.

568
00:54:12.114 --> 00:54:15.643
Send a runner to the garrison.
We stay and fight.

569
00:54:24.493 --> 00:54:27.230
It is not worth losing everything
over one life.

570
00:54:27.330 --> 00:54:29.666
I want to stay and fight.

571
00:54:32.235 --> 00:54:34.304
Think of your sister.

572
00:54:34.953 --> 00:54:36.323
Go.

573
00:55:01.964 --> 00:55:03.601
Caius!

574
00:55:08.102 --> 00:55:10.374
Go. Get him to safety.

575
00:55:13.076 --> 00:55:15.411
Leave now, or your friend
will have died in vain.

576
00:55:15.511 --> 00:55:18.547
No! I can stay and fight.

577
00:55:20.616 --> 00:55:24.087
Your death here will not
be remembered. Now go!

578
00:55:30.024 --> 00:55:32.361
Go. Go! Go!

579
00:55:55.817 --> 00:55:57.820
Execute him.

580
00:56:04.193 --> 00:56:06.194
What is your name?

581
00:56:08.264 --> 00:56:10.379
What does it matter to you?

582
00:56:11.099 --> 00:56:14.938
The body may die,
yet the name may live on.

583
00:56:15.738 --> 00:56:17.806
Give me your name.

584
00:56:24.497 --> 00:56:28.168
My name is Judah Ben-Hur.

585
00:56:48.137 --> 00:56:51.074
Well, what are you waiting for?
Execute him!

586
00:56:51.174 --> 00:56:53.076
There is value in this name in Rome.

587
00:56:53.376 --> 00:56:56.262
You are free to take the name.
You shall give me his head.

588
00:56:56.362 --> 00:57:00.717
- This man shall not be executed today.
- You dare defy me?

589
00:57:01.117 --> 00:57:03.752
This man is worth
far more alive than dead.

590
00:57:04.052 --> 00:57:06.206
Take him back to the arenas in Rome,

591
00:57:06.306 --> 00:57:09.159
and we will be paid tenfold
what we have been paid today.

592
00:57:09.259 --> 00:57:11.894
I will execute this man myself.

593
00:57:13.196 --> 00:57:15.814
I did not enter this field
to spill Roman blood...

594
00:57:16.764 --> 00:57:20.054
but I guarantee that if more blood
is spilled, some of it will be Roman.

595
00:57:25.340 --> 00:57:27.635
I will have your heads for this.

596
00:57:29.111 --> 00:57:32.349
You will join a long list
who have uttered those words.

597
00:57:34.783 --> 00:57:36.934
This is insubordination.

598
00:57:37.034 --> 00:57:40.390
- How can I abide...
- Sir, hear me out.

599
00:57:40.790 --> 00:57:43.559
In this matter, prudence may be best tact.

600
00:57:43.659 --> 00:57:47.495
Would not there not be more glory in Rome for
us to send this captive back to the arena,

601
00:57:47.595 --> 00:57:49.998
where his death can match his reputation?

602
00:57:51.534 --> 00:57:54.196
That may be so, but...

603
00:57:54.296 --> 00:57:57.940
if we let them leave, who will remain
to take care of the rebels who've escaped?

604
00:57:58.040 --> 00:58:02.011
Pardon, sir, but speaking from experience,
the rebels you talk of are barely men...

605
00:58:02.111 --> 00:58:06.148
Kaeso, when your opinion
is required, I will ask of it.

606
00:58:12.555 --> 00:58:14.791
You are in my employ.

607
00:58:14.891 --> 00:58:18.927
You were hired to eradicate
these rebels by any means possible.

608
00:58:19.027 --> 00:58:23.583
The capture of one while many escape
is not a task taken to completion.

609
00:58:24.200 --> 00:58:27.787
I doubt you'll have much trouble
finding the rest by their showing today.

610
00:58:28.137 --> 00:58:30.206
This one is the only one
worthy of capture.

611
00:58:30.706 --> 00:58:34.977
Sir, I am confident we can capture the
rest of these miscreants in short order,

612
00:58:35.077 --> 00:58:39.348
but there may also be a way which allows
Atticus to take this Ben-Hur to Rome

613
00:58:39.448 --> 00:58:42.452
while at the same time
draw out the rest of these rebels,

614
00:58:42.552 --> 00:58:45.188
- if I may be so bold.
- Go on.

615
00:58:45.288 --> 00:58:48.240
Allow Atticus to take this Ben-Hur
on a road well known

616
00:58:48.340 --> 00:58:50.993
and seen by many
as he leaves this village.

617
00:58:51.093 --> 00:58:53.797
That way, word will get back
to those who aid him.

618
00:58:53.897 --> 00:58:57.868
We can set up an intercept on this
known road and take them by surprise.

619
00:59:01.938 --> 00:59:03.813
Very well.

620
00:59:09.544 --> 00:59:11.579
On your feet.

621
00:59:32.935 --> 00:59:35.105
Which is the weaker of the sexes?

622
00:59:35.205 --> 00:59:39.425
Is it the field from which the crop grows
or the one who merely plants the seed?

623
00:59:40.275 --> 00:59:45.013
Is it not a more difficult job to grow
and nurture the crop for harvest,

624
00:59:45.113 --> 00:59:47.818
than to lay a mere seed in the soil?

625
00:59:50.046 --> 00:59:52.165
I think your soil has seen many seeds.

626
00:59:55.323 --> 00:59:59.362
If you prefer your fruits attached, Dio,
I suggest you stop speaking.

627
00:59:59.462 --> 01:00:03.899
Gratitude, Atticus.
I would prefer not to soil my blades.

628
01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:09.572
What were we talking about?
Yes, the weaker sex.

629
01:00:10.873 --> 01:00:13.809
Khutu, do you know who this is?

630
01:00:13.909 --> 01:00:17.147
He is someone whom the gods do not favor.

631
01:00:17.947 --> 01:00:22.185
- How 'bout you, Veleda?
- I do not know, and I do not care.

632
01:00:22.885 --> 01:00:27.156
I wager in Rome we'll hear a different
answer to the name Ben-Hur.

633
01:00:27.256 --> 01:00:29.291
What do you think?

634
01:00:31.127 --> 01:00:34.697
In times of old, your name
was known from Judaea to Hispania.

635
01:00:35.297 --> 01:00:39.969
I suspect, in Rome, many will savor
your death in the arena.

636
01:00:41.069 --> 01:00:43.339
Maybe the fates will allow you to live.

637
01:00:43.439 --> 01:00:45.240
It's up to the gods.

638
01:00:45.540 --> 01:00:49.678
Or should I say God in your case?
You took to the new religion.

639
01:00:49.778 --> 01:00:52.248
Well, let me ask you,
where is your God now?

640
01:00:53.616 --> 01:00:57.386
Can you not speak?
The road to Rome is long and tiresome.

641
01:00:57.486 --> 01:01:00.791
The least you could do is show
some gratitude for being saved.

642
01:01:01.491 --> 01:01:05.548
Entertain us with some stories of old.
Were you not a galley slave...

643
01:01:05.648 --> 01:01:09.298
before the Macedonians at sea
in a battle to the last man?

644
01:01:09.698 --> 01:01:11.735
Is that not the tale of Ben-Hur?

645
01:01:11.835 --> 01:01:16.105
The one who saved the Roman consul,
became his adoptive son?

646
01:01:16.855 --> 01:01:20.060
Rode the chariots in Rome
in the bloody arena?

647
01:01:21.476 --> 01:01:23.513
Can you not speak?

648
01:01:24.746 --> 01:01:27.983
I could have severed your head
from your body as that fool instructed.

649
01:01:29.685 --> 01:01:32.855
Someone with your skills
may even find favor in Rome.

650
01:01:32.955 --> 01:01:34.991
Anything's possible.

651
01:01:35.091 --> 01:01:37.594
What say you, old man?

652
01:01:39.395 --> 01:01:42.098
What is it you ponder so seriously?

653
01:01:42.198 --> 01:01:45.168
Do you pray to your God for a quick death?

654
01:01:45.818 --> 01:01:49.022
He's praying for quiet.

655
01:01:51.107 --> 01:01:53.710
What of the ambush laid by the Romans?

656
01:01:53.810 --> 01:01:55.945
Will they not rob us of our prize?

657
01:01:56.045 --> 01:01:59.882
The answer is simple.
We'll take another road.

658
01:01:59.982 --> 01:02:02.350
Romans will never find us.

659
01:02:39.389 --> 01:02:42.390
Caius, Caius, look at me! Look at me!

660
01:02:42.490 --> 01:02:46.295
This is gonna hurt. 1, 2, 3.

661
01:02:49.782 --> 01:02:51.855
Keep it pressed.

662
01:02:53.436 --> 01:02:55.391
- Look after him.
- I will.

663
01:02:55.491 --> 01:02:58.694
- Tell my sister I love her.
- You'll be able to tell her soon enough.

664
01:02:58.794 --> 01:03:00.676
Stay strong.

665
01:03:02.845 --> 01:03:04.848
You'll be fine, Caius.

666
01:03:21.297 --> 01:03:25.434
I did not think
I would die so far from Rome.

667
01:03:25.534 --> 01:03:27.336
Do not say it so, sir.

668
01:03:27.436 --> 01:03:30.273
You must realize, Cyprian...

669
01:03:36.712 --> 01:03:38.261
Promise me one thing.

670
01:03:40.615 --> 01:03:43.086
Take my ashes to Rome.

671
01:03:45.021 --> 01:03:46.323
I will see it done, sir.

672
01:05:21.584 --> 01:05:24.382
You asked earlier what I was mediating on.

673
01:05:28.590 --> 01:05:31.338
The question I was pondering
was whether or not it was acceptable

674
01:05:31.438 --> 01:05:33.496
to take a life again.

675
01:05:33.596 --> 01:05:35.898
I'm curious as to your answer.

676
01:05:37.398 --> 01:05:39.915
I decided I could take a life...

677
01:05:40.515 --> 01:05:43.805
if I left the decision on whether
or not to lose the life

678
01:05:43.905 --> 01:05:46.307
to the one whose life is taken.

679
01:05:51.112 --> 01:05:54.416
If you want to live,
release me and leave this place.

680
01:05:55.483 --> 01:05:58.232
If you prefer to die, remain here.

681
01:05:59.721 --> 01:06:01.163
The choice is yours.

682
01:06:08.429 --> 01:06:10.513
Very generous of you.

683
01:06:14.035 --> 01:06:17.943
Were you not such a valuable commodity,
I would dismember you where you sit.

684
01:06:20.776 --> 01:06:23.219
I take it you have made your decision?

685
01:06:38.160 --> 01:06:41.765
Tauri, stay here. Guard Ben-Hur.
Everyone else, come with me!

686
01:09:20.255 --> 01:09:22.625
Do we still take him alive?

687
01:09:24.927 --> 01:09:26.470
No.

688
01:09:36.305 --> 01:09:38.007
Here.

689
01:09:42.077 --> 01:09:43.550
The horses are backwards.

690
01:09:43.650 --> 01:09:46.222
- The horses are backwards!
- They're facing the right way to me.

691
01:09:46.322 --> 01:09:48.510
They're on the wrong sides!
This one used to be on the left

692
01:09:48.610 --> 01:09:50.784
- and that one on the right!
- Is that a big problem?

693
01:09:50.884 --> 01:09:52.822
Let's hope we don't have
to make any sharp turns!

694
01:09:52.922 --> 01:09:56.124
- Since when do horses have sides?
- If you had listened in training...

695
01:09:56.224 --> 01:10:00.695
I was listening, and I specifically remember
nothing about horses having sides!

696
01:10:00.795 --> 01:10:02.864
And another thing,
I told you to stay out of this!

697
01:10:02.964 --> 01:10:05.968
Yeah, well, it's a little late for that!

698
01:10:06.068 --> 01:10:08.970
- And a thanks would be nice!
- Thanks!

699
01:10:27.821 --> 01:10:30.333
- How many?
- Three, coming up fast.

700
01:10:31.961 --> 01:10:33.963
Not yet! Wait till they're in range.

701
01:10:40.569 --> 01:10:42.772
Go! After them!

702
01:16:27.716 --> 01:16:32.320
This wench must not mean anything to you
if you are so quick to see her die.

703
01:16:34.055 --> 01:16:36.590
If you want her to live, be smart.

704
01:16:36.690 --> 01:16:39.808
Surrender your weapons.
None of you have any value.

705
01:16:40.328 --> 01:16:42.342
I'm looking for Ben-Hur.

706
01:17:42.924 --> 01:17:46.229
If I were to hand Ben-Hur over to you,
I'd be dead anyway.

707
01:17:51.331 --> 01:17:53.168
So be it.

708
01:21:00.054 --> 01:21:01.890
And what is your name?

709
01:21:03.257 --> 01:21:04.926
Atti...

710
01:21:08.595 --> 01:21:10.765
Tell it to the oarsman.

711
01:21:18.306 --> 01:21:20.356
Press this on here.

712
01:21:27.281 --> 01:21:29.351
Is she going to live?

713
01:21:32.354 --> 01:21:34.356
Depends on her.

714
01:22:17.164 --> 01:22:19.200
Are you truly Ben-Hur?

715
01:22:23.170 --> 01:22:25.540
I will go with you if I must...

716
01:22:26.340 --> 01:22:28.077
but leave them.

717
01:22:34.582 --> 01:22:37.118
There's been enough
bloodshed here for one day.

718
01:22:37.218 --> 01:22:39.058
- Sir.
- Silence.

719
01:22:43.191 --> 01:22:47.397
I am the grandson of Quintus Arrius,
Consul of Rome.

720
01:22:50.498 --> 01:22:54.256
Growing up, my grandfather used to
entertain me with many stories about Ben-Hur.

721
01:22:56.487 --> 01:23:00.827
The one I am most grateful for is that
Ben-Hur saved my grandfather's life...

722
01:23:00.927 --> 01:23:05.013
when their galley was sunk
by Macedonian pirates in the great sea.

723
01:23:05.913 --> 01:23:08.816
You saved his life,
even though he was a Roman.

724
01:23:12.587 --> 01:23:14.957
You were his adopted son, were you not?

725
01:23:17.591 --> 01:23:19.578
It is true.

726
01:23:19.678 --> 01:23:21.880
Then you shall go in peace.

727
01:23:23.730 --> 01:23:25.700
You have the word of Cyprian Arrius.

728
01:23:46.987 --> 01:23:50.525
With a larger force, we can rout
the Romans. I'm sure of it.

729
01:23:51.025 --> 01:23:53.428
Once Lucia and Caius are recovered,

730
01:23:53.528 --> 01:23:56.865
we can begin our aim
to recruit an army of freemen.

731
01:23:57.415 --> 01:23:59.216
With your training... we could...

732
01:23:59.316 --> 01:24:03.054
Open warfare with the Romans
is not something I'm interested in.

733
01:24:06.056 --> 01:24:08.886
If one day, you find yourself in need...

734
01:24:08.986 --> 01:24:10.827
call my name.

735
01:24:11.394 --> 01:24:13.866
If you call it loud and ring it wide...

736
01:24:14.566 --> 01:24:16.994
perhaps we shall meet again.

737
01:24:17.305 --> 01:24:23.901
