"Spartacus: House of Ashur" explores a "what if" scenario in which Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay) survives the events of Vengeance and is rewarded with the gladiator school he once served. The series follows his rise to power as a "Dominus" in the brutal world of Roman gladiators, a path he takes with the help of a fierce gladiatrix named Achillia.

00:00Brothers Ferox may be twisted in form, yet stand fierce opponent, capable of sending
00:26any man or woman into the afterlife.
00:46Send the cunt to grass and be done with it.
00:50No distraction, pulling attention and blessing Sotiris with open attack.
01:05Now, press advantage.
01:12You assume proper place for weakened animal.
01:28Is it intent to lay in repose all morning, or prove worthy of the mark of brotherhood you now bear, and rise to fucking occasion?
01:55Dominus, a message arrives from Crassus.
02:02Prepare for honored arrival.
02:10That is the sum of it?
02:16It stands all received.
02:19When?
02:20When will Crassus bless us with fucking presents?
02:23We do not know.
02:25The question was not posed, expecting fucking a reply.
02:28Seafloor polish to reflection.
02:33Fill pool with water, fresh and clear.
02:36Mercier will attend to menial duties.
02:38Go.
02:39We must present finest wines and exotic meats.
02:42Have meal prepared to move the gods themselves to salvation.
02:45For this day?
02:46Every fucking day, until Crassus materializes, our coffer ends fucking dry.
02:51We cannot bear such expense beyond week's end.
02:53You break words towards any beyond fucking calamity.
02:59Apologies.
03:01Sentiment deserved to be broken from my tongue, alone.
03:05Farbs, you best face!
03:07You stand idle time for Crassus' absent position in approaching games.
03:12How do labors progress in such regard?
03:15Vexing at fucking best.
03:17The opinion stands maker of decision, yet his bitch Casutia growls and froth like Cerberus at the gate denying entry.
03:26What evopter?
03:27Corus lays infirm.
03:31Unable to ply the man with honey word towards cause.
03:34Even if so swayed, I fear Casutia will hold fast and hateful resolution.
03:40My concern well shared.
03:42Yet something fucking must move the woman!
03:45Your man possesses admirable talent beyond sands of the arena.
04:01His enthusiasm back rises to the occasion of your beauty.
04:06More wine?
04:07I would pause a moment.
04:26Gratitude.
04:29Leave us.
04:30How I wish aged husband possessed such artful tongue.
04:39Beyond a ration in the Senate.
04:42How fair is Grcobinius?
04:44Oh, I would hardly know.
04:45His gaze is forever towards Rome and growing tensions between Pompey and Crassus.
04:51A grievous concern, that of civil war.
04:54Yet, Silesian threat to quarts and goods more pressing.
04:58We stand well removed from waters of the Tyrrhenian and fucking plunderers upon its waves.
05:03And yet, bodies have been found in our various streets.
05:07Perhaps, worn into Silesian blades.
05:10Bodies?
05:11Six, discovered in wake of storm.
05:13Among them, the brute Phides.
05:16An unpleasant specimen favoured by Proculus.
05:19Throat slit as gutted fish.
05:21I did not know the man.
05:22Perhaps he felt a misadventure of his own construction.
05:32It stands deepest mystery why I yet wear this.
05:39Yesterday's version extended beyond use or consideration.
05:42Sackcloth is elevated to silk upon frames such as yours.
05:47Sackcloth shall be a blessing before long.
05:49It stands impossible challenge to obtain new fabric with those Silesian shits preying upon our merchant ships.
05:57Word upon Breeze has caressed ear of the finest Egyptian linens arriving tomorrow at gates close.
06:02To be received by the traitor Spirius.
06:07Egyptian?
06:09Are you certain?
06:10A sun breaking dawn each day.
06:13Gratitude for timely consideration.
06:16Are we not friends?
06:18Well, I would see mountains reform towards shared interests.
06:22I would not ask such Herculean effort.
06:24Hmm.
06:26Yet.
06:27There is one favour I would humbly entreat.
06:30You'll give it voice and see it well received.
06:33Thoughts turn towards games of Ludia Polinari's noble husband presents.
06:37Place mind at ease, your men shall hold position in them.
06:40Honoured, as always.
06:42Yet I broke subject not for myself, but for the House of Asher.
06:49You petitioned for the fucking Syrian?
06:51By tenuous association only.
06:54I speak toward a worthy figure of his doctorate.
06:57Chorus.
06:59Deserving of the presentation of his labours.
07:04What's turned you to gain from unsavoury request?
07:09A man indebted by gracious act pays future dividends when called upon.
07:14You have always possessed delicate sensibilities of foresight.
07:18Yet I fear this may have been rare miscalculation.
07:25In what regard?
07:27Rumour vibrates that the Syrian's man has suffered.
07:32Grievous injury.
07:34Injury?
07:35Does he yet live?
07:37Does he yet live?
07:43Fuck the gods!
07:45Ah.
07:46We at last come to common ground upon subject.
07:50How does he fare?
07:52Do you not see me fucking rise before you?
07:55With spirits in flame, although weak of flesh.
07:58Are yet to a breath.
07:59And the rest shall follow shortly.
08:03News to Hardencock.
08:05As what I break shall in return.
08:07Crassus says word of impending arrival.
08:12Crassus.
08:14One more hour.
08:15Enigma yet to be revealed.
08:16Always thought.
08:18Where he will stand towards House conspiring to present a woman in the arena.
08:21As long as it harrows adulations from the crowd and coin and fucking palm.
08:25Crassus shall send delighted.
08:27We will then turn favorable humor towards advantage and press the man to commit effort into rebuilding the arena.
08:33Destroyed by Spartacus and his mongrels.
08:35Assuming we gain position in the arena.
08:36When we gain position.
08:39You fucking goat.
08:41Come.
08:43If you stand in need of food and wine.
08:45And cleansing waters to remove stench shall narrowly averted death.
08:52I have stationed men upon ridge to give signal when procession comes to view.
08:56When sounded, I would have you fall to my side.
09:00Dominus.
09:01We have received unannounced guest.
09:03Good arbiter.
09:05You grace us with unexpected presents.
09:08Gratitude sends an order for your generous gift of grain.
09:12Give it no thought.
09:14Apologies for appearing in advance of proper warning.
09:17News only just reached ear of your man's injuries.
09:20I had feared him no longer among us.
09:22I yet cling to fucking life and stand absent need for concern.
09:25Oh, he exaggerates recovery.
09:28As a matter of pride.
09:29Apologies.
09:30I offer wine and midday repast.
09:31Yet, pressing concerns pulls me to market.
09:35I shall take my leaf then.
09:36Oh!
09:37No, remain.
09:38Chorus says to the bath to soak troubled wounds.
09:41Concern will be put from Thaw knowing the weight of his suffering is lifted.
09:45By carrying hands.
09:49Your presence would lend comfort.
10:01Are you often invited into the Sulean's bath?
10:04It has been known to happen.
10:06Upon occasion.
10:08Hmm.
10:10I was unaware he possessed such...
10:12appetite.
10:13Yes.
10:14His desires do not extend towards his fucking doctore, nor mine towards his.
10:18You do not favour one of such rich complexion?
10:21The tone of a man's skin stands meaningless.
10:24When cut, the colour holds equal for all.
10:27Fall from presence.
10:28A woman's hands offer rough comfort.
10:43A man's more familiar with rugged terrain.
10:51Traverses with practised ease.
10:56You need not burden yourself with such a job.
11:00Hmm.
11:01It's a rare privilege.
11:03For only a mortal to touch the heavens.
11:10Who handled you so roughly?
11:15An old acquaintance.
11:17Who took issue with recent conversation.
11:19Does the villain carry a name?
11:22Fides.
11:24He fell upon me with a clutch of men.
11:26Their lives claimed for the offence, yet the man himself...
11:28fluttered to the winds.
11:31And swiftly plummeted.
11:33Never to spread wings again.
11:37Fides no longer draws breath.
11:39Difficulty with throat slid.
11:43Wounds not inflicted by my hands.
11:46Then whose?
11:48He was known to have dealings with Proculus.
11:50A thing I'm certain you're well aware of.
11:53I've witnessed that.
11:55I mentioned to Ksutia this very day.
12:00It troubles me to see flesh so murred by basement of Rix.
12:06I would see wounds visited tenfold upon Proculus's men in the arena.
12:11In the arena.
12:15Twice, in as many visits you have mentioned, desire to see yourself in the games.
12:22Is such your only desire in holding my company?
12:24I am the authority of this house.
12:28Glorian arena.
12:30Consumes fucking mind.
12:32As well as that of the Syrian.
12:34One would assume.
12:40It's a thing of no matter.
12:41We must all play our part in this game of men and their ambitions.
12:47Words to be agreed upon.
12:52Place worried thought aside.
12:55I have broached subject with Ksutia and will revisit upon soonest opportunity.
13:01Gratitude towards effort.
13:05Wherever such may lead.
13:07Next time you find yourself in need.
13:13Heart lives.
13:15And I shall storm Olympus to see you satisfied.
13:17A bold claim.
13:18A bold claim.
13:19A bold claim.
13:47For when so slight.
13:50Valiant purpose.
13:51Source in your presence.
13:55Is Chester yet in service of the Syrian?
14:02He stands far from Farkensort.
14:17A bold claim.
14:19Face and bow.
14:20Unmatched for any upbringing cap you are.
14:23Oysters stand fresh.
14:25Neptune himself.
14:26This is each fucking one of them.
14:29They smell of his ass.
14:32What make you the more ants are?
14:35I fear they threaten to exceed weight of purse.
14:38Added to what Stan's already purchased.
14:39You would see Crassus presented with Finn fucking offering.
14:42I would see him well attended.
14:44Short of coffers emptied in a tent.
14:47You fret beyond reason.
14:48Yet not beyond purpose.
14:50As villager.
14:52Am I not charged with the accounts of your house?
14:55You stand so.
14:57And I benefactor of such attentive counsel.
15:14No!
15:17No!
15:24I'm Odious.
15:27Victor once again.
15:29You almost fucking had him.
15:31You almost had his coke in fucking ass.
15:33Good citizens of Capua
15:37In honor of the approaching games of the loody Apollinaries
15:42I again invite any Roman to step forth
15:45And test worth against the House of Proculus
15:48The House of Asher would see challenge accepted
16:00Upon the sands of the arena
16:02You stand absent, giant shadow
16:05Where lurks your mighty doctore
16:08Trainer of those who fall against better fucking men
16:11I thought in courtesy he not eclipsed into your children
16:16Spilled from aberrant womb
16:18We spilled that wine
16:21And the blood of shit and piss you deemed fucking champion
16:26Victory well earned
16:27Even for half men
16:30Yet let us see contests revisited against the newest offering from the House of Asher
16:37A sight of wonder and awe
16:41Never before witness upon the sands of the arena
16:45Let this Syrian move, good Cabinius
16:48To secure a position in the games
16:50And then behold
16:52The brothers Ferox as again
16:54They sent his champion
16:55To deserve an end
16:57We stand ready to fuck
17:01All who dare stand before us
17:04Lost the words
17:07From such little fucking man
17:09Perhaps
17:10Brother Balbus shows us the way
17:17Let us honor the Syrian with gifts of food
17:23To feed malnourished men beneath his fucking roof
17:26.
17:27That's the Syrian
17:29Fuck as fucking hell
17:31Fuck as fuck as hell
17:31Fuck as fuck as hell
17:32Fucking cunt
17:33Fucking cunt
17:33Fucking cunt
17:34Fucking cunt
17:35Fucking cunt
17:36.
17:36Words fall as shit from mouth
17:39Stands fucking so
17:39I witnessed a woman graced with cunt and cock
17:43One atop another
17:45another. So did you fuck her? Or she you? My own shits would offer more flavoured
18:09taste. Skook offer anything beyond fucking porridge? Houses of higher esteem have been
18:20non-percent meat. The gods fuck us then. I think a deep familiarity beneath this room.
18:27You stand not afraid? To what? Breaking meal with someone so hated.
18:33They before to distemper in response to your promised station as champion. Absent time
18:38in effort to claim their own. I bear the mark of the fucking brotherhood. As they do. Yet not as
18:43they earned it. Are they not of my choosing? We all set upon rightful path. Four placed upon
18:50succession, one following another. You fall to seed only to break words absent meaning.
18:56Bold proclamation from one who spent the morning upon ground mouth filled with fucking dirt. Give
19:00name to one among us who could best three opponents. If Dominus manoeuvres entry to games next presented,
19:06you shall face equal number in the arena. The brothers Ferox. Half men barely form beyond that of a
19:14child. Bend your fucking ear and you clutch my words to heart. The brothers fight as one with singular
19:20might. The men that you face here stand absent such purpose. They appear of singular mind to fucking
19:33lies. Yet one person's attack absent thought of those who would aid him in such regard. You fight but single
19:40opponent. You best him and the others will quickly fall.
19:44You speak of your son, Dagon. No, I speak of a gladiator. Consumed by hubris with thirst for glory.
20:00A thing to be tempted if he is to survive in the arena.
20:04Take stock of what you see before you. This is what Capua thinks of our house. Because none of you shits
20:28demonstrate fucking worth. You gorge yourself upon my generosity and in return reduce nothing but bleeding excuses and disappointment.
20:39And know this. Toil and task pulled from effort of your dominus shall see this house the deserved position in the fucking games.
20:50And upon such day you shall claim victory against the house of Broclus.
20:55Who I will see you all to the fucking might!
21:02Doctoria!
21:05The marketplace appears to disagree with you.
21:07Great good works through his mind of Opator so I may ram them up Proclus' ass.
21:12The man seems moved to eat us.
21:15And I'll gauge your magic success upon venture.
21:17Opator has proved unexpectedly persuasive.
21:20After all these years of blood and sacrifice glowing to precipice of honored position.
21:35Only to stake future upon man so slight a fucking note.
21:39Such spectres often move where men of more solid form cannot.
21:50What do eyes behold?
21:59A chamber. Embracing poet.
22:02It's not always so.
22:05Here once stood the champions of the house of Batiatus.
22:09This is Yankar captured in stone.
22:12Canicus, Crixus.
22:16The mad Thracian Spartacus.
22:18Gods of the arena.
22:20Gods of the arena.
22:22My former dominus schemed his way from beneath mountains of shit to cease victory upon their backs.
22:31Yet here stands Asher.
22:35Ever his better clutching heir for threat.
22:39A fucking possibility.
22:41Than let us weave it into tapestry of victory.
22:43And show this fucking city that we tarred above all others.
22:45Dominus.
22:47Apologies.
22:48Another message has been dispatched from Crassus.
22:50What to clarify our day of arrival.
22:51Not of person but of baggage.
22:52Ha!
22:53He sends possessions in advance, and commands me as beast of fucking burning upon settings of moral
23:12Sun.
23:14Labor's more befitting than a slave.
23:15Son!
23:17Labour's more befitting than a slave.
23:18As I yet stand in his fucking eyes,
23:21a notion to be stricken if we defy odds and see Achilleur to victory.
23:25I shall reclaim Mantle-bottled...
23:27No.
23:29Your absence was gravely noted at the Albena by that shit, Proclus.
23:32I would have you fall to my side and remain so at as an event of future provocation.
23:39Yadwell, my fucking hands.
23:45Let's go!
23:52I need you!
24:03Agh!
24:15Eyes full upon you are thoughts of fucking.
24:21Was she a fine bit to embrace within my arms?
24:34Tarkon.
24:36Ephesus, Arathal, take position.
24:40Achillea!
24:45Begin.
24:59Begin.
25:07I will mourn your death at the little hands of Satyrus and his brothers.
25:13See title of champion.
25:21Fall to more deserving name.
25:25Focus effort.
25:27Do you recall words broken between us?
25:29No!
25:30No!
25:31No!
25:32No!
25:33No!
25:34No!
25:35No!
25:37No!
25:38No!
25:39No!
25:40No!
25:41No!
25:42No!
25:43No!
25:44No!
25:45No!
25:46No!
25:47No!
25:48No!
25:49No!
25:50No!
25:51Oh, my God.
26:21Oh, my God.
26:51Oh, my God.
27:21Yes, perhaps they would have had you not foolishly pressed your own advantage.
27:26A fault oft repeated.
27:29Well, those are the fucking words you broke with her over yesterday's meal.
27:32How to defeat your fucking son.
27:33In Chorus's absence, I stand doctori.
27:39And words shared reflected such.
27:41You place her victory above mine.
27:51I place the victory of this fucking house over all concerns.
27:58And even those of blood.
28:08Well, does it stand so tenuous a bond?
28:10You are my son.
28:23I would see you rise above all of us.
28:27And I will honor you when my time comes in the arena.
28:41First, you honor herself with thoughtful strategy.
28:45I fight as I was taught by my father.
28:58That failure is mine.
29:00May you find my willing student in the fucking Nubian.
29:10Son.
29:11Can't you lash out, Epsom, thought of consequence?
29:22And yet you've far off over how a woman bested you.
29:26Place game aside and gather yourself.
29:41I would have you accompany me.
29:43Where?
29:43Where honored mother commands.
29:45If passions lie beyond these walls, I fear I stand not your reflection.
29:50Are we so opposed, you and I?
29:53When you were yet a child, we were of one heart and mind.
29:56I'm far removed from the youth I was.
29:58Yet here I stand, willing to embrace you as such.
30:04Apologies.
30:07I'm not myself.
30:10And have not been so for too long a time.
30:14Life has been unkind in its offering.
30:17It is but oscillation between joy and despair.
30:22Each new day presents fresh choice between them.
30:26What is choice?
30:27When fate has final say, often leaving but fractured remnants in its wake.
30:33You yet breathe.
30:34Well, I thank the gods it is so.
30:37I would have you return to the happy child that so brightened this house and world beyond.
30:45And if it holds nothing but shadow.
30:47And if it holds nothing but shadow.
30:48We cannot hold setting of the sun.
30:51Yet perhaps together we may ignite torch to guide our way from darkness.
30:57I promised father a game of Latrunkulite.
31:01The game shall greet you upon return.
31:05The operator whispers that Spurious the Trader receives Egyptian linen.
31:11How I would see us draped in fineries befitting mother and radiant daughter.
31:18Then let us to mark it.
31:25Together.
31:25The sun threatens to bake senses to oblivion.
31:37Should we pause and fall to shape?
31:39I find it comforting upon skin.
31:41Oh, it lifts heart to see you resurrected among the living, the Riddia.
31:47Oh, look.
31:49Tertius, Grace's presence.
31:52Where stands his wife?
31:54The name escapes me.
31:55A woman of tenuous impression.
31:57Recently called to the shores of the afterlife.
32:00Poor man.
32:02A loss most keenly felt.
32:04There stood no love between them.
32:06Only advantage of marriage, strengthening respect of families.
32:08Does cut a form, does he not?
32:12Any woman would be blessed to call him husband.
32:15Perhaps we should pay respect and offer what comfort may be afforded.
32:19The heat is a living thing, is it not?
32:22I would lay eyes upon Egyptian linen so breathlessly promised.
32:25Lest it evaporate in advance of purchase?
32:28Let us fall to purpose, then.
32:30And consider words with Tertius at later convenience.
32:33Discharge upon him, absent concern towards obligation, claimed my own.
32:43Crassus yanks his leash and expect obedient courage to fall to fucking heel.
32:51Does voice offend, or do thoughts wander astray from fucking consideration?
32:55I care not for eyes upon us.
32:56Let us attend, demand an undertaking, and return to Villa.
33:10Have some fucking incident.
33:11Is this the sum of it?
33:26Or does the man seek to transport all of fucking Rome as well?
33:31What eyes lay upon us all I have been charged to deliver.
33:33Then our business conclude, fall from fucking sight.
33:36I will see us removed from the street in advance of encroaching night.
33:41Do you yet have more words to break?
33:44Or do you stand dumbstruck by glorious form before you?
33:47Apologies.
33:48I was instructed payment would be due upon receipt.
33:54And, uh, what is the sum?
33:57Thirty denarii.
34:00Thirty denarii.
34:01First, stand shy of require some.
34:08Send notice for balance, and I shall see you satisfied.
34:10Upon what day?
34:13Of my fucking choosing.
34:16Press matter and find yourself forever absent of need of coin.
34:23At your leisure, then.
34:28Crassus stands with just man in fucking Republic.
34:31Yet it falls upon this house to see debt paid.
34:34How the old the man became so swollen with wealth.
34:37By shrewdly using the coin of others in a place of his own.
34:40A thing to aspire to.
34:43Pay mine towards footing.
34:47Injury to valued burden will be visited tenfold upon those accountable.
34:51Retrieve more water.
35:02I would see pull filled before a Dominus returns.
35:05Or bravely humor so often unleashed.
35:08His mood is but reflective of forces brought to bear.
35:13You must not hold such against him.
35:15I shall do as commanded.
35:17You are not to speak to me in such manner.
35:19Apologies.
35:21For breaking unwanted words.
35:25Messier.
35:26What would you have me do?
35:27I cannot return feelings I do not hold.
35:30I wish to the gods I could reverse sun and see them unspoken.
35:34I do not mean to be unkind.
35:37Nor I.
35:38Yet I do not know how to be.
35:41Who am presented each day with that which I desire.
35:44Yet cannot have.
35:45Your attention wonders, brother.
36:03Towards vexing cause.
36:11It would take well to style I've done the carers.
36:13I never favoured it.
36:16You stand too vulnerable absent, S.H.I.E.L.
36:20Yours offered little protection when I sent you to fucking ground.
36:23Do not ascribe to skill what lies in fault of another.
36:28More careful thought.
36:29We'll greet you next we meet.
36:33Strategy counselled by one more experienced.
36:35It is a heavy thing, living beneath the shadow of noble father.
36:49I live in no man's shadow.
36:51Only a woman's then?
36:52On a day.
37:00Nibian.
37:03On a fucking day.
37:06Officius!
37:08Let us pull into proper fucking contest!
37:10Hush!
37:11Hush!
37:12Hush!
37:13Hush!
37:13Hush!
37:13Hush!
37:14Hush!
37:14Hush!
37:15Hush!
37:17Hush!
37:21Hush!
37:22Hush!
37:23No.
37:24How?
37:25Save the yield?
37:25Oh, a gift from the gods.
37:30Never felt its equal.
37:31I have yet more to offer one so luminous.
37:34Are you going to fashion the finest stola this city has ever beheld?
37:38In anticipation of your father's games, sir.
37:42The games?
37:44Entering the Polvenus dressed in such finery shall precipitate absolute riot.
37:49I will not be in attendance.
37:50Your father expects it, sir.
37:52A desire I have not heard expressed from his lips.
37:54You must come, Viridia.
37:56You have been too long removed from eyes of adoring...
37:58Ah!
38:03Ah!
38:04Ah!
38:07Ah!
38:08Let's go!
38:13Ah!
38:14Ah!
38:15Ah!
38:16Ah!
38:17Ah!
38:18Ah!
38:19Ah!
38:20Ah!
38:21Ah!
38:22Ah!
38:23Ah!
38:24Ah!
38:25Ah!
38:26Ah!
38:27Ah!
38:28Ah!
38:29Ah!
38:30Ah!
38:31Ah!
38:32Ah!
38:33Ah!
38:34Ah!
38:35Ah!
38:36Ah!
38:37Ah!
38:38Ah!
38:39Ah!
38:40Ah!
38:41Ah!
38:42Ah!
38:43Ah!
38:44Ah!
38:45Ah!
38:46Ah!
38:47Ah!
38:48Ah!
38:49Ah!
38:50Why you fall upon us?
38:55Post questions to noble husband!
39:05We need but one! Part out from fucking life!
39:13Fucking cunts!
39:20Get out of here!
39:37No!
39:50Keep moving, you fucking bitch! Or I should have your fucking blood!
39:58Get out!
40:02No!
40:03No!
40:05Yeah!
40:06Yeah!
40:07Yeah!
40:08Yeah!
40:11Yeah!
40:14Yeah!
40:15I don't know.
40:45I don't know.
41:15I don't know.
41:45I don't know.
42:15I don't know.
42:16I don't know.
42:17I don't know.
42:19I don't know.
42:20I don't know.
42:21I don't know.
42:22I don't know.
42:23I don't know.
42:24I don't know.
42:25I don't know.
42:26I don't know.
42:27I don't know.
42:28I don't know.
42:29I don't know.
42:30I don't know.
42:31I don't know.
42:32I don't know.
42:33I don't know.
42:34I don't know.
42:35I don't know.
42:36I don't know.
42:37I don't know.
42:38I don't know.
42:39I don't know.
42:41I don't know.
42:42I don't know.
42:43I don't know.
42:44I don't know.
42:45I don't know.
42:46I don't know.
42:47I don't know.
42:48You're a gracious world.
42:49I know what I have you for from it.
42:51My life, the course.
42:53Myrilia.
42:54I thought you did.
42:55This would have been true, had Asher and his man not chased upon us.
43:05I thought you did!
43:12Such would have held true, had Asher and his man not chanced upon us.
43:22Asher.
43:24You are these men.
43:26What is this all upon us?
43:27It doesn't matter.
43:30Silesians.
43:34We must return into your villa.
43:36We can't do it.
43:39Pirates.
43:40Here within city walls.
43:43So far removed from fucking sea.
43:45They grow bold, absent proper response from Rome.
43:49Well, thank the gods.
43:51You did not fall to rancorous harm.
43:53They held no divinity in it.
43:55Asher and his man delivered us from untimely fate.
43:58Who would that Heratia stood as fortunate?
44:02The Edo's wife.
44:04Slain.
44:04In the streets.
44:07Whilst sun yet grayed.
44:08Fucking sky.
44:09Wife and daughter stood apparent bounty sought.
44:12To his ransom.
44:13One will suspect.
44:14An outrage.
44:16That shall be answered in blood.
44:17I fear it has already been drawn.
44:19I fear it has already been drawn.
44:20He suffered injury in the exchange.
44:22No thought given to safety beyond our own.
44:24He shall be properly attended.
44:26See yourselves to bath.
44:27And wine to calm inflamed nerves.
44:30Once more tongue bends towards gratitude.
44:35Unnecessary.
44:37And gratefully received.
44:39I thank the gods.
44:40I thank the gods.
44:42You were present.
44:44And had not succumbed to rumor of previous wounds.
44:47I best stood as any man of means and skill would have.
44:51To protect the republic.
44:56Fall to the baths.
44:57I would break words with the Syrian in private.
45:02We shall attend to Crassus' shipment.
45:03Crassus.
45:08We prepare for his imminent arrival.
45:11He disengages from his army in Rome, so entrenched outside its gates?
45:14Such as message recently dispatched into my hands.
45:18More than could be said of Pompey.
45:21He remains unmoved by request to unset from opposing perch and quell these salition cutthroats.
45:27Perhaps loss of untold men and failed attempt.
45:31May give them pause.
45:31Or they shall see efforts redoubled at expense Hart can ill afford.
45:38You must remain vigilant against such possibility.
45:41Beloved daughter broke words carrying truth.
45:45Gratitude is owed.
45:48As is reward rising to level of deed.
45:55Your noble daughter yet among the living presents reward beyond measure.
46:01A debt unpaid promises future expense.
46:04Often many times original sum.
46:07It is well known, by all blessed with sense of fucking hearing,
46:11that you desire entry to approaching games of the ludi Apollinaris.
46:16Thoughts occasionally turn upon subjects.
46:18And cease the churning of them.
46:19I shall see you well-positioned.
46:26I...
46:29I do not possess for it.
46:31Do not misconceive intent.
46:33I but erase debt.
46:35One I would not see plied against me upon inconvenient moment.
46:39Then we stand balanced in all regards.
46:45Come.
46:45I shall have my medicus attend your wounds.
46:47A burden I will not oppose.
46:48My own shall seat unconcerning wounds.
46:51I assure you mine stands of greater skill.
46:53Of that I hold no question.
46:55Yet I prefer not to stand in your debt.
46:58You learn quickly, Sirian.
47:04Very well.
47:06Let us part ways equally...
47:08un-tethered.
47:09You left Dominus at Gabinius' villa to return alone?
47:25Asha proves himself capable.
47:27Those who underestimate him do so at their own fucking peril.
47:30I would still see guards dispatched.
47:31Place concern aside, the man himself appears.
47:35Dominus!
47:38Fetch the medicus!
47:39Quickly!
47:39Ah, fuck, medicus!
47:41I will bathe hard-fought wound in a river of fogging wine!
47:46Gabinius breaks words towards such elated mood?
47:48He breaks words that shall elevate this house.
47:52We stand blessed with position in his fucking game time.
48:00And you...
48:02You fucking titan!
48:05Your part in this shall not soon fall to this card of remembrance.
48:10Wine!
48:11Where is the fucking wine?!
48:13How did you broach subject with Gabinius?
48:14A thing not required.
48:16He offered unprompted reward towards rescue, beloved wife and daughter.
48:21And you maneuvered such towards advantage in the arena?
48:23I maneuvered nothing.
48:24Tongue threatened to leave from mouth at the thought, but heart held it fast in place.
48:31Viridia's life spared stood reward enough to consume all desire.
48:36The gods, I hold no faith in favor, humble Asher.
48:44And you as well.
48:46With unwanted task now removed.
48:50Task?
48:51Lowering yourself to imagine affection to gain opener's aid towards the games?
48:57That preening little shit no longer stands of use.
49:01It is a relief not to be forced into his company.
49:06See, all within this loot is the formation.
49:09Let us present glorious news.
49:12A fucking ascension!
49:14You expect Burning Gaze to set her aflame?
49:34If I were so fortunate, surely my father would rush to extinguish Blaze.
49:44This house has given rise to story champions of lore and legends.
49:52Yet all who have come before shall pale against what I have fought with blood and bone to see opportunity presented.
50:01And such have been secured.
50:04We have gained position in the games of the Ludi Apollinaries!
50:12And who shall grace the sands, Dominus?
50:13Tarkon, hold time!
50:16The boy is overcome by visions of glory.
50:20Positions and placement have yet to be broached.
50:23Yet know this.
50:24We shall see the brothers Ferox the fucking grasp for offense presented by the shit Broculus.
50:30By the hands of the goddess of fucking death.
50:39Fall to your beds and gather strength for coming days.
50:42I will announce those among you who are for the arena.
50:45Dominus!
50:46Procession has been spotted up on road towards Vela.
50:51Ha ha ha!
50:52Our patron Crassus at last arrives.
50:57Let him stand at all at the fearsome offering of the house of fucking Asher!
51:03Arcturus!
51:04Arcturus!
51:05Call to my side and let us greet destiny with worthy embrace!
51:15Do ropes follow matter pleasing to eye?
51:28Intent to welcome the man and present your arse for his pleasure.
51:33His wagon arrives.
51:35Straighten backs.
51:37Assume pleasant disposition yet cast gaze downwards to avoid catching eye.
51:40Chorus, three steps linger in a pace.
52:01Mighty Crassus, you honor us with your noble presence.
52:28You mistake me, Sirian.
52:34Caesar.
