Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Lucius, when will the siege be over?
00:00:05We are exhausted.
00:00:09We can't hold up.
00:00:13Fred! We want Fred!
00:00:17Listen, Lucius, why have we been left by the Sabines and the Albans...
00:00:20...to fight the Etruscans alone?
00:00:21Does it mean they're no longer our allies?
00:00:23Alliances are costly. We'll solve our own problems.
00:00:27You must have faith.
00:00:29Believe me, it isn't faith that's lacking Lucius.
00:00:31It's bread to keep us from starving.
00:00:33You'll have that shortly. The grain is on the way.
00:00:35Promises won't fill an empty stomach.
00:00:37We want bread, Lucius, for starving.
00:00:39That grain has been on its way for more than a week.
00:00:44Has the convoy arrived yet?
00:00:45No, but it can't be very far away by now.
00:00:48And the Etruscans?
00:00:49There hasn't been a sign of them.
00:00:50Even their patrols haven't shown any sign of light.
00:00:53They usually never miss a night.
00:00:55I'm worried about our convoy.
00:00:56Why?
00:00:57Why don't you send out a scouting patrol?
00:00:59I can't afford to spare any men for that.
00:01:01We're seriously undermanned as it is, Lucius.
00:01:06Aureus! Move this!
00:01:14We're half a mile from Rome.
00:01:15It's the most dangerous part of the road.
00:01:17Stay with me and keep your eyes open.
00:01:19Come on! Hurry up there!
00:01:46There they are!
00:01:51There they are!
00:02:08There they are!
00:02:11There they are!
00:02:11Get ready!
00:02:14That's what I was afraid of.
00:02:16We'll be lucky to get away from here alive.
00:02:18Hurry!
00:02:18Try to protect the clerks!
00:02:19You send off the alarm signal!
00:02:21Go on!
00:02:21Hurry!
00:02:22To your position!
00:02:32forward
00:03:13They're being attacked if we don't go to their aid they'll all be slaughtered. There's nothing I can do about
00:03:19it. I've been forbidden to send out any of our soldiers let me open the gate.
00:03:23That's impossible the consul won't allow it. Ah, yes, quite right and we'll obey him. What are you doing? You've
00:03:30gone mad
00:03:37Vernon asked the consul to come here
00:03:42What are you two doing here
00:03:44Who's the idiot who let you pass?
00:03:46Oh, excuse me Valeria. Forgive me Clelia. I have sent a message to your father a consul. I hope he'll
00:03:52come quickly
00:03:53Where's motion? He's gone to try to rescue the convoy
00:04:03Stand firm men. I've come to help you
00:04:12He's pushed you fight harder now. We'll be able to get through
00:04:24You drop them coward
00:04:26We'll beat you now
00:04:27Go
00:04:29Go
00:04:29Go
00:04:29Go
00:04:30Go
00:04:30Go
00:05:39Come on, the road is free. Hurry!
00:06:03Why don't you go with the others?
00:06:04There are more coming toward us. Look there.
00:06:07Go on with the others.
00:06:09Don't stand there. That's an order.
00:06:51Free whole wagon load.
00:07:04It was Lucius who saved us!
00:07:07Lord, it is Lucius!
00:07:08He saved our lives!
00:07:22Lucius!
00:07:24Oh, Lucius!
00:07:25Were you up on the battlements?
00:07:27Yes.
00:07:28And I thought I would die.
00:07:29I was so frightened.
00:07:31Tell me honestly, Valeria.
00:07:32How can a soldier marry such a timid little creature?
00:07:35You'd better get married and you'll soon find out.
00:07:37That's our grain!
00:07:38Why don't we take it?
00:07:39We'd better take it where we have a chance!
00:07:41Come on!
00:07:46Come on!
00:07:48Come on!
00:07:51Come on!
00:07:54They're becoming like animals.
00:07:58I've got to do something about this.
00:08:01Come, I want to talk to you...
00:08:04excuse us, Valeria...
00:08:13What's going on here?
00:08:14They were trying to steal the grain.
00:08:16Oh, please, listen.
00:08:17Try to understand why they behave like that, Father.
00:08:20The poor things are starving.
00:08:23Justice once set them free.
00:08:25Let them go.
00:08:27I hear you had a bad time getting through.
00:08:29I'd like to hear about it.
00:08:30Ten men were killed in the Etruscan ambush.
00:08:32The wagons were all saved.
00:08:33Thanks to the intervention of Moushous.
00:08:35Do you confirm that?
00:08:36Yes.
00:08:36You could say he defeated them almost single-handed.
00:08:39These people are hungry, Father.
00:08:41They've been waiting all day for the arrival of the carts.
00:08:43Won't you order the distribution immediately?
00:08:45You're quite right, my child.
00:08:52Citizens, listen to me carefully.
00:08:55The grain has cost many lives.
00:08:57This, you will agree, has made it doubly precious.
00:09:00It's going to be immediately distributed
00:09:03with the most scrupulous fairness.
00:09:11And afterwards?
00:09:16They'll capture you.
00:09:18I'll never see you anymore.
00:09:20I just know they'll kill you.
00:09:23Look at me closely.
00:09:25A while ago, you saw that crowd of starving people.
00:09:29Those demoralized soldiers.
00:09:33Rome is at the end of its resources.
00:09:35Its strength is exhausted.
00:09:38And me?
00:09:39What about me?
00:09:40What am I going to do without you, Moushous?
00:09:44If Rome falls and Tarquin returns to power,
00:09:47we won't even be free to love one another.
00:09:51I must kill the king of the Etruscans.
00:09:54Without him, Tarquin's fangs will be drawn.
00:09:57But how?
00:09:59When?
00:10:02This very night.
00:10:05I'll kill him in his tent.
00:10:07In his very bed, if necessary.
00:10:09But that's suicidal.
00:10:11Do you remember Lucretia?
00:10:13She didn't kill herself because of the shame
00:10:15that Tarquin brought upon her.
00:10:17No.
00:10:19She killed herself because she wanted to show us
00:10:22how to live.
00:10:23And so our republic was born.
00:10:25And we regained our liberty without which life
00:10:27is not worth living.
00:10:30If I die, others will follow me.
00:10:32But Rome must be saved.
00:10:36Oh.
00:10:42Goodbye.
00:10:46Moushous.
00:10:49Moushous.
00:10:51I'll never see you again, Moushous.
00:10:53My Moushous.
00:11:32I'll never see you again.
00:11:47Tormus.
00:11:49Thomas!
00:11:52Sit down with us.
00:11:55What's the matter with him?
00:11:56I thought he was supposed to be on guard.
00:12:00Yes, that's right.
00:12:02Pour me another drink.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11If you have something to say to the king, you can come back tomorrow.
00:12:14Porcina doesn't want to be disturbed tonight.
00:12:19Didn't you understand? Get away from here!
00:12:40Who are you?
00:12:42Prepare to die!
00:12:52Hold there!
00:12:56I don't want him killed.
00:12:58First, he'll be made to speak.
00:13:00Take out the body.
00:13:05Why have you killed my faithful lieutenant?
00:13:07Answer him!
00:13:11You're porcina.
00:13:15So it was I you intended to kill.
00:13:18Who are you?
00:13:19A Roman.
00:13:21What is your name?
00:13:26It's Lucius!
00:13:28Yes, you're right. I recognize you.
00:13:29It's he, right?
00:13:30The strongest of all the Roman soldiers.
00:13:32They're real commander.
00:13:34If that's the case, my lieutenant's life was worth sacrificing.
00:13:38Now the Roman armies are without a commander.
00:13:41You know what is awaiting you.
00:13:44I was prepared for it.
00:13:46See to his execution.
00:13:49Mucha certainly knows all about their military circumstances
00:13:51and the true situation of Rome and of her allies.
00:13:54Why don't we make him talk?
00:13:56This is a good opportunity we offer you.
00:13:58If you tell us what we wish to know, we may grant you your life.
00:14:03Your young son evidently doesn't know Romans.
00:14:11Perhaps when you've felt the most horrible of all tortures,
00:14:13you'll become a little more reasonable.
00:14:26Bring him over here.
00:14:29I'll go alone.
00:14:41With this hand, I meant to kill Porcina.
00:14:44It failed.
00:14:48For that, I punish it.
00:15:13It failed.
00:15:15Run and get a physician.
00:15:16A physician, quickly.
00:15:25Will it ever heal?
00:15:28Perhaps.
00:15:29I'm grateful.
00:15:31You may go now.
00:15:34The rest of you leave me too.
00:15:41You're safe.
00:15:42But only for a short time.
00:15:46There are a hundred men in Rome who have sworn to kill you.
00:15:50They won't fail.
00:15:52My motives in this matter are legitimate.
00:15:54I wanted to regain my rightful territories.
00:15:57You have them now, aren't you satisfied?
00:15:59The Senate in Rome does not wish to recognize my right to them.
00:16:04You can negotiate.
00:16:06But only on one condition.
00:16:09That you leave Tarquin to his fate.
00:16:12If you're an honorable man,
00:16:14you cannot associate yourself with a bloodthirsty tyrant whom the Romans have driven out.
00:16:19It is for this that we cannot forgive you.
00:16:24And it's for this that you will die.
00:16:32Leave the two of us alone, Arunty.
00:16:54They told me about his latest exploits.
00:16:56Is he still alive?
00:16:58Yes, and he's conferring secretly with my father.
00:17:01What do you mean?
00:17:03I'm afraid he's going to persuade him to call a truce.
00:17:05May the gods of darkness crush both of them.
00:17:08The old man has gone mad.
00:17:10It would have been better if he'd stayed at home in Clusium
00:17:12and nursed his senile infirmities.
00:17:14By this time, Rome would have fallen into our hands.
00:17:17Come on.
00:17:22In these circumstances, a truce will not be possible.
00:17:25In the future, if you've convinced me that you speak the truth,
00:17:28I shall lift the siege.
00:17:29And acclaim with no reservations the new Republic of Rome.
00:17:33If I had known you before, I would never have tried to take your life.
00:17:37I've waited a long time, Lucius.
00:17:41Now, at last, I'm able to look you straight in the face.
00:17:44A ridiculous hero of a ridiculous little Republic.
00:17:48You could have seen it a hundred times in battle,
00:17:50but neither I nor my humblest soldier ever laid eyes on you.
00:17:54The war would have been over a long time if this coward had been willing to fight me in single
00:17:58combat.
00:18:00I'm quite willing now.
00:18:08Perhaps even you could beat me now.
00:18:10Please be seated, Tarquin, and try to listen calmly if that's possible for you.
00:18:13Just what am I supposed to listen to?
00:18:14The disparaging words of a slanderer.
00:18:16A cutthroat hired to murder you in the most treacherous way.
00:18:20No.
00:18:21I leave such a basement to you, Porcelain.
00:18:23That's enough!
00:18:25Even my patience has a limit, Tarquin.
00:18:29I welcomed you.
00:18:31I've helped you.
00:18:32When you came to me for aid, I placed a well-equipped army at your disposal.
00:18:35But I have found that you told me a mountain of lies to gain your ends.
00:18:39Swearing to me that the people of Rome were only waiting for you to make your appearance under the walls,
00:18:43to rise up in rebellion and overthrow the new Republic.
00:18:45I still swear it.
00:18:46And I can prove it to you whenever you wish.
00:18:48This young man has already proved the contrary.
00:18:51It's obvious that the attempt on your life has confused you.
00:18:54But think very carefully.
00:18:55What else can his actions mean but that they are in desperate straits?
00:18:57The desperation of such men is equal to the strength of many others who would like to imitate them.
00:19:01Moosius has been my enemy for many years.
00:19:05I'm forced to the conclusion that only an overwhelming jealousy made him attempt to murder you.
00:19:12It was my life he wanted to take. I'm certain of it.
00:19:17Living in Rome is a pretty little girl whose name is Clelia.
00:19:21He's in love with her.
00:19:25She's one that I have, on certain occasions, honored with my attentions.
00:19:31You vile scoundrel!
00:19:35See that?
00:19:37I hit the right target.
00:19:40I shall never cease to reproach myself for having become your ally, Tarquin.
00:19:45What do you mean by that?
00:19:46I mean that from this moment I consider myself free to make whatever decisions that suit me, including the disposition
00:19:51of my sources.
00:19:52You go back on our firm agreement. You're prepared to break our sacred alliance.
00:19:56With you nothing can be accounted sacred, Tarquin.
00:19:58Be very careful of what you're doing, Porcina.
00:20:04Set Moosius free. Tomorrow you will take him with a strong escort to Rome.
00:20:09You'll offer to the Senate of the Republic the conditions of a truce and a peace treaty that I shall
00:20:13prepare at once.
00:20:17You're making a terrible mistake, Porcina!
00:20:25Do you agree, my son?
00:20:28I shall execute your orders, Father. Don't ask me for more.
00:20:45Hail the road here!
00:20:52Mousius and the escort are just leaving the camp. Why did you want to see me?
00:20:56Because I wanted to wish you the best of luck on your important mission.
00:21:00I never expected you to take this so calmly.
00:21:03I owe a debt of long standing to your father and don't want to go against his wishes.
00:21:08He wants to make peace and he shall have it.
00:21:12But dealing with the Romans is more difficult than fighting them.
00:21:16May I offer you some good advice?
00:21:17Certainly, Tarquin.
00:21:19First, the most important thing. Take my faithful Claudius.
00:21:22He's a man of resource and knows the tricky Romans better than anyone.
00:21:25Very well. What else?
00:21:26Remember that the Senate of Rome will be prepared to accept any kind of conditions.
00:21:30But it will do so only to gain time and make new alliances.
00:21:34You must insist, as a guarantee of keeping the truce, on having important hostages.
00:21:39My father has mentioned no such thing in his proposals.
00:21:42Oh, your father is without guile. We saw the way he was taken in by that Mousius.
00:21:47You must ask of the Senate in Rome ten fair young girls, chosen from the richest and most noble families.
00:21:53But among them, just make sure they give you Clelia. She's from the house of Fabi.
00:21:58Why do you insist on her?
00:22:00She's been promised as bride to Mousius.
00:22:03With her in our power, we'll be able to keep him under our control.
00:22:06We'll restrain him in all his movements.
00:22:09Remember, he's dangerous to us.
00:22:12Maybe you're right. I'll do just as you say.
00:22:15It's best for all concerned. You may be sure of that, Orunte.
00:22:22You go with him.
00:22:24Tell Horatius that the moment has come to destroy them all.
00:22:27Publicola and Mousius shall be the first ones to be dealt with.
00:22:30I shall inform them. But Mousius' end will be my own concern.
00:22:34Go.
00:22:48Go.
00:23:07Go.
00:23:09Go.
00:23:15Go.
00:23:20Go.
00:23:21Go.
00:23:22Go.
00:23:42This is Orunte, the son of Porcina.
00:23:45He brings the terms of the truce with him.
00:23:48I know the Senate will make its own decision,
00:23:50but I can only say that Porcino's proposal show a real desire for peace.
00:23:55The Senate is waiting to hear you.
00:24:05Clelia.
00:24:08Oh, why, you're wounded.
00:24:13Oh, is it serious?
00:24:18I don't know.
00:24:27I'll be around to talk to you this evening.
00:24:29Very well.
00:24:33This evening we'll meet at my house. I want you all to be there without fail.
00:24:40The conditions that Porcino through your offices has proposed to us
00:24:44are not altogether acceptable.
00:24:47However, we will consider them on the basis that they are an outline
00:24:51from which we will draw up the major points for the peace treaty,
00:24:54which will be definitive.
00:24:56In the meantime, we accept a military truce while we take your proposals into consideration.
00:25:02This is our reply to Porcino.
00:25:05If the noble senators here present are in agreement, they will raise their hands to show their approval.
00:25:16If I have properly understood, you will immediately accept a truce.
00:25:20But you reserve the right to discuss the final conditions of a peace treaty at some time in the future.
00:25:24Exactly.
00:25:25In that case, we must have some guarantee that you will not utilize the armistice in any other manner than
00:25:31to study the points necessary to reach an agreement.
00:25:36You must give us some hostages.
00:25:37Hostages? That's outrageous!
00:25:39What hostages?
00:25:41Ten young maidens of noble blood.
00:25:44And among them, Clelia, the bride promised to Lucius.
00:25:47Never! This is an insult! We will never agree!
00:25:50How dare they!
00:25:53Silence!
00:25:55Keep calm!
00:25:58We must put this request to the vote!
00:26:01We won't tolerate it!
00:26:02Then there can be no truth!
00:26:03The war will start again immediately!
00:26:05Then let's have the war!
00:26:06Rome has never been afraid to fight!
00:26:09For me, I accept the agreements.
00:26:11And to make sure I am not accused of unfair discrimination, I will hand over my daughter Valeria.
00:26:16Porcino is an honest man to be trusted.
00:26:19We must show him that we are equally so.
00:26:21The peace of the world asks, demands from many of us fathers, this great sacrifice.
00:26:27We must be worthy.
00:26:29History will prove us to have been right.
00:26:34I leave the final choice to all of you.
00:26:37Those who approve, raise their hands now.
00:26:49Your demands have been accepted.
00:26:52You shall have your hostages.
00:26:56I know the way you must be feeling.
00:26:59But I give you my word of honor that your young daughters will be treated as their high rank merits.
00:27:04I shall insist that they be returned to you at the very start of the discussion of the peace treaty.
00:27:12Does it still hurt, Lucius?
00:27:15Much less now.
00:27:17The new treatment that Etruscan doctor gave you was wonderful.
00:27:21Yes, but the hand feels dead.
00:27:24It's brought us peace. Don't you think that's enough?
00:27:31Publicola!
00:27:32What is it?
00:27:34We've arrived at some sort of an agreement.
00:27:36Valeria!
00:27:42I can see in your face that you're not satisfied.
00:27:46The Senate has accepted all of Porcino's conditions to safeguard the peace treaty.
00:27:50A wise decision.
00:27:53I see then you had decided to give up Clelia.
00:27:56Clelia!
00:27:57What are you talking about?
00:27:59Arunty has insisted we give him hostages. Ten young maidens from the nobility, among them naturally Clelia.
00:28:05And the Senate accepted?
00:28:07Every word I have spoken is true.
00:28:09But this is ignoble.
00:28:11Arunty has no right to demand hostages. Porcino never mentioned them.
00:28:15Yes, but there is nothing we can do. To safeguard Rome we are compelled to send them.
00:28:20My own daughter Valeria is going with the others.
00:28:26We're ready to leave now.
00:28:33Don't be afraid. I'll be worthy of you.
00:28:38I thought I had paid enough.
00:28:58That was well done, Arunty.
00:29:02I can see you had the good sense to follow my suggestion.
00:29:05I hope I'll never have cause to regret it.
00:29:14Who are all these young women?
00:29:16They're Roman hostages.
00:29:20Hostages?
00:29:21But why?
00:29:23They're here to guarantee the armistice is respected.
00:29:26I thought it was a good idea.
00:29:28Someone advised you.
00:29:31Surely you could see it was dishonorable.
00:29:38This is Clelia.
00:29:39She's promised in marriage to Lucius.
00:29:41You're lovely, my dear.
00:29:44And this is Valeria.
00:29:45She's the daughter of the famous consul, Publicula.
00:29:47Publicula and Lucius.
00:29:48Two of the men whose wisdom and bravery set them apart from all others.
00:29:56You have forced them to come here so their welfare shall be your responsibility.
00:30:00Arunty, see to it that they are treated as befits their rank.
00:30:03And that everything is done to make them comfortable.
00:30:06The most important thing for you to ensure is that no one shall be lacking in respect to them.
00:30:14We shall meet later on for the evening meal.
00:30:19We shall meet later on for the evening meal.
00:30:20Your father is a fine king.
00:30:21I'm glad you think so.
00:30:23Allow me to show you to your tent.
00:30:27I hope you'll remember your stay with us here as a delightful vacation.
00:30:35Take those things through there and get everything ready at once.
00:30:40I apologize to you for these very poor accommodations, ladies.
00:30:43But it's the best we can do.
00:30:46Unfortunately, this is a camp for rough soldiers.
00:30:48For over a year we have had to get used to the discomforts of war.
00:30:51Clalia!
00:30:55Who would have dreamed of finding a girl like you here?
00:30:58Don't think it gives me any pleasure to see you.
00:31:02That's the result of being governed by Republicans.
00:31:05Not long ago, Clalia was gracious and courteous towards me.
00:31:09And now only see how she treats her own king.
00:31:13I'm puzzled.
00:31:14I was sure that you were pleased with your treatment in my palace.
00:31:19Don't you remember?
00:31:21No.
00:31:22Neither I nor the Romans want to remember you.
00:31:24Not even your name.
00:31:25Except perhaps to curse you.
00:31:29Now you can see the character of the Roman girls.
00:31:32Beautiful and haughty.
00:31:34Just what all of us soldiers like.
00:31:39Well, well, Arunty.
00:31:41You've made yourself protector of all these...
00:31:43Get out of here!
00:31:44What's the matter?
00:31:46Have you gone out of your mind?
00:31:48No one is going to lay a finger on these girls.
00:31:50It's an order of the king.
00:31:51And I intend to see it respected by everybody.
00:31:55All right, Arunty.
00:31:56But I still think it's stupid to get so belligerent about...
00:32:00such paltry things.
00:32:11Thank you on behalf of all of us.
00:32:15None of you need have any fears as long as I am here with you.
00:32:27Thank you. Thank you for making this a most pleasant evening.
00:32:30It was the happiest I've spent for a long time.
00:32:32May the gods watch over and protect you.
00:32:35Sleep well.
00:32:39Your father's a very kind man.
00:32:42Arunty.
00:32:47May we ask a great favor of you?
00:32:49Ask anything you wish.
00:32:50We would like to write a letter to Rome.
00:32:52You may write as many letters as you want to.
00:32:54I'll see they get to their destination.
00:32:56However, there's one condition.
00:32:58That you write nothing bad about me.
00:33:01I don't think that's too difficult a condition.
00:33:04Who wants to come for a walk with me?
00:33:06It's a beautiful evening.
00:33:08No, no. We're all too tired.
00:33:09I think I'll go to bed.
00:33:12What about you, Clelia?
00:33:14Willingly.
00:33:19If you're sure you want me.
00:33:20I can't permit you to go alone.
00:33:22You're under my protection.
00:33:33Take it with you.
00:33:57Follow me.
00:34:20On a night like this, everything seems so peaceful.
00:34:23I can't accept the fact that you're an enemy of my country.
00:34:26But the Etruscans and the Romans are no longer enemies.
00:34:29And you are the pledge of our continued peace.
00:34:32There are others too.
00:34:35Clelia's vanished.
00:34:38Clelia.
00:34:40She was here only a moment ago.
00:34:42Well, then she can't be very far away.
00:34:44Clelia.
00:34:45Clelia.
00:34:47We have nothing whatsoever to worry about.
00:34:49I can assure you that my followers in Rome will rise up.
00:34:53Publicola and Lucius will be taken care of.
00:34:55That's the first thing we'll do.
00:34:57The men who are with us are ready for anything.
00:35:00We must only keep ourselves prepared to act.
00:35:03The moment we're all waiting for might even come tomorrow,
00:35:05if I receive good news from Rome.
00:35:08If it should be unsatisfactory,
00:35:10I've already a plan to break up the forthcoming negotiations for peace.
00:35:13Now everybody back to their own stations.
00:35:16Good night.
00:35:23What are you doing here?
00:35:26Clelia.
00:35:28Well, what are you waiting for?
00:35:30There are other girls at the camp.
00:35:33If you're not so anxious, the others must be impatient too.
00:35:38Now I'll make you sorry for insulting me.
00:35:40Valeria!
00:35:43Valeria!
00:35:45Arunthe!
00:35:45Help!
00:35:49Clelia!
00:35:51Clelia!
00:35:55Valeria!
00:35:56Help!
00:36:00Our companions are in terrible danger.
00:36:03Arunthe, it's your duty to protect us all.
00:36:05You must do something immediately.
00:36:07Come with me.
00:36:16Get out of here.
00:36:17Get out of here.
00:36:18The first man to disobey will taste my sword.
00:36:20But it was only a joke, Arunthe.
00:36:22You don't understand.
00:36:23You have rebelled against an order of my father's.
00:36:25Have you men forgotten that all hostages are sacred to the honor of our soldiers?
00:36:29We wouldn't dream of disobeying the orders of our beloved king.
00:36:31It was only me.
00:36:32Get out of here!
00:36:41I hope you will forgive us for what has happened.
00:36:43I promise you it will never occur again.
00:36:46You have nothing more to fear now.
00:36:55Listen, all of you. Tomorrow we must get away from here.
00:36:59After what has happened, we can never really feel safe again.
00:37:01I'm quite satisfied to be under the protection of Porsana.
00:37:05Or rather, that of Arunthe.
00:37:06And why not? I find him kind and courageous.
00:37:09I don't doubt it.
00:37:11But I learned something tonight. It changes everything.
00:37:15Tarquin is plotting to start the war all over again.
00:37:18And that means our presence here guarantees absolutely nothing and is only furthering his project.
00:37:22How do you know?
00:37:23Before they caught me tonight, I heard what he said to the Etruscan leaders.
00:37:27Why didn't you tell Arunthe about it immediately?
00:37:29Because if I had done so, I would have ruined everything uselessly.
00:37:34The true master in this camp is Tarquin.
00:37:37The captains obey only his orders.
00:37:38But that isn't all.
00:37:40In Rome, our families are exposed to a terrible danger.
00:37:43Tarquin's followers are going to revolt and kill them all.
00:37:47Just think of your father.
00:37:51And there's Lucius, too.
00:37:54We must warn them, Valeria.
00:38:01Halt. Make yourselves known.
00:38:03Lucius.
00:38:06Hail, Lucius.
00:38:07Is everything all right?
00:38:09I wouldn't say so.
00:38:11There's a strange sort of tension in the air.
00:38:13The people have shut themselves up in their houses as though they felt some terrible premonition.
00:38:17And yet peace is not far off.
00:38:19That's true. But the city is crawling with dirty traitors.
00:38:22If you like, we can escort you to your house.
00:38:25That won't be necessary. Carry on with your patrol.
00:38:48Let's go.
00:39:05Light the lamps.
00:39:24We're saving a hero like you for a more inglorious end. Get him.
00:39:29Kill him!
00:39:39Kill him!
00:39:44Ataquan!
00:39:48Get reinforcements!
00:39:53Leave him to me.
00:40:02There he is!
00:40:05Leave him to me!
00:40:20Moacius!
00:40:21Moacius!
00:40:26Moacius!
00:40:29That's the first time I've had to run from a fight.
00:40:32Well, you gave a good account of yourself.
00:40:35If you hadn't come, they would have killed me.
00:40:37They've met an end they richly deserved.
00:40:51This would be a good time to do it.
00:40:53Look there. No one is even watching us.
00:40:55You're sure about running away?
00:40:57Everybody has agreed upon it.
00:41:06I still think it's wrong.
00:41:08Why?
00:41:10Staying on here under the protection of Arunte would be much safer for us.
00:41:13He's an honorable man. We'll see to it that we're not harmed.
00:41:17What happened the other night is proof of it.
00:41:18He spoke one word and those horrible men ran away.
00:41:21Neither he nor his father can help anymore.
00:41:24The Etruscan chiefs stand behind Torquin.
00:41:26It's only a question of time now.
00:41:28But if Arunte knows nothing, Clelia, he might believe that we've acted treacherously.
00:41:31I understand how you feel about it.
00:41:33But we have no other choice.
00:41:35It's our duty now to try to save our families.
00:41:37You know that very well, Valerio.
00:41:41Then I won't say any more.
00:41:43Come.
00:41:53This big log should serve our purpose.
00:41:56Don't be frightened.
00:41:57If we all push, we should be able to get it out into midstream.
00:42:00Rome's not much more than a mile away.
00:42:04Clelia, I'm so frightened.
00:42:05Of what?
00:42:06I don't know how to swim well.
00:42:07Don't worry.
00:42:08I'll help you.
00:42:09Yes, but the Etruscan soldiers will try to kill all of us.
00:42:12I don't think they dare do that, Valerio.
00:42:15Take courage.
00:42:15This is no time for hesitation.
00:42:17Now, all together, into the water.
00:42:20Push.
00:42:24Harder.
00:42:33Come along.
00:42:34Swim.
00:42:35Swim, all of you.
00:42:36Swim.
00:42:38Swim.
00:42:40Hey, what are you doing?
00:42:42Come back here or we'll shoot.
00:42:44Come back.
00:43:00You clumsy idiots.
00:43:02What are you waiting for?
00:43:12Hold tight to the log.
00:43:25Look out for the arrows.
00:43:39Valerio.
00:43:50Hold on, all of you.
00:43:51We're almost out of range of the arrows.
00:44:00And push.
00:44:01Push harder.
00:44:09Here he is.
00:44:10Come and see what a fool your pretty hostages have made of you.
00:44:19It's all your fault.
00:44:21It's because of the brutality of you and your henchmen.
00:44:25Very well.
00:44:26Then you may leave it up to us to repair the damage.
00:44:32I must remind you of the rules of war.
00:44:34That you have all accepted swearing loyalty and obedience to my father.
00:44:37You are under his orders as his subjects and as soldiers.
00:44:40The man who forgets this is risking execution.
00:44:54It's impossible to make treaties with such barbarians.
00:44:57This is the unanimous and firm decision of the Senate majority.
00:45:03No one more than myself can understand your legitimate indignation, but from the information we've received from Clelia, we are
00:45:11absolutely certain that Porsana is a man of great loyalty.
00:45:14He wishes for peace as strongly as we do, but if we do not restore the hostages, Tarquin will take
00:45:20the advantage of declaring us to be in bad faith and to accuse us of breaking the armistice we sacrificed
00:45:26so much to obtain.
00:45:27We accepted the terms once.
00:45:29That's enough.
00:45:30We cannot send our daughters as hostages again to the enemy.
00:45:33It's useless to argue anymore.
00:45:35Session is over.
00:45:36We've done enough.
00:45:37Even war is predictable.
00:45:40It's outrageous.
00:45:48What will come of this?
00:45:52We must try once more to make contact with Porsana.
00:45:55Tell him of all the things we know now and that perhaps he's ignorant of.
00:45:59Inform him of the plot hatched by Tarquin.
00:46:02We must warn him, advise him.
00:46:04You, Mousius, are the person to do it.
00:46:07Clelia and Valeria must be surrendered at once.
00:46:10In this manner, we will prove that we're in good faith.
00:46:13You will accompany them with a large escort and explain everything to Porsana.
00:46:17But the Senate has already decided.
00:46:20It is not the Senate, but the senators who have been overcome with paternal anxiety.
00:46:26It seems a pity to risk the lives of two innocent girls.
00:46:30I am well aware of it.
00:46:31But we must do everything that is in our power to crush out all other human sentiments,
00:46:36but those which further the eventual good of our countrymen.
00:46:48Tarquin, Tarquin, Tarquin!
00:46:52What is it? What do you want?
00:46:54There's news from Rome.
00:46:55Horatius.
00:46:57Well, then, what is it?
00:46:58You ordered torrents of blood and it flowed, but it was the blood of our people.
00:47:02The conspiracy has failed.
00:47:03And you, you miserable rat, why are you here?
00:47:06You shouldn't be unjust to one who served you well.
00:47:08It's miraculous that I alone have managed to escape.
00:47:11And the others?
00:47:11Dead or prisoners.
00:47:15Even Clodius?
00:47:16Yes.
00:47:17And naturally, Mocius is still alive.
00:47:21Tomorrow, he will come to the camp to return the most important of the hostages,
00:47:25Clelia and Valeria.
00:47:33Clelia and Valeria.
00:47:36Here tomorrow.
00:47:40I have had accurate information concerning the intentions of the Sabines and the Albans.
00:47:46Their intervention on the side of the Romans is given as imminent.
00:47:50Where is Tarquin, son?
00:47:52He's left the camp with 20 archers.
00:47:54The sentinels told me he was traveling towards the west.
00:47:56Go after him.
00:47:57Take a troop of soldiers and arrest him.
00:47:59I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget for daring to disobey my orders.
00:48:03We must free ourselves of this unscrupulous man.
00:48:07I don't want anything to spread the conflict.
00:48:10Tomorrow, it is my intention to sign the peace treaty.
00:48:12And immediately afterwards, we will strike camp.
00:48:15You may go.
00:48:20Hurry, to the horses.
00:48:37Aim very carefully.
00:48:39And make sure of your target.
00:48:41Clelia must not be harmed.
00:48:43Meloni.
00:48:47We must be sure of killing the Roman consul's daughter.
00:48:50The desire to revenge her death will force Publicola's hand.
00:48:53And a truce will be broken.
00:48:56Then we will see if Porsina babbles on about peace.
00:49:00Get ready, men.
00:49:01Get ready, men.
00:49:10Halt.
00:49:12You two at the front.
00:49:13You two on each side.
00:49:15You two to the rear.
00:49:18What did you do that for?
00:49:20They're only precautionary measures.
00:49:23March.
00:49:24March.
00:49:35Get ready, men.
00:49:50It's an ambush.
00:49:51Pull on the cover with your shield.
00:49:52Move fast.
00:50:02Run back and give the alarm.
00:50:04We'll try to hold out here.
00:50:05Give me your shield.
00:50:16Unsheath your swords.
00:50:19Attack!
00:50:20Attack!
00:50:24Stand fast, men.
00:50:25Show them your courage.
00:50:26Get away.
00:50:27Save yourselves.
00:50:28Run.
00:50:30Come on.
00:50:33Stand fast, men.
00:50:35Knock up.
00:50:56Come on.gener
00:51:13Let me go! Take your hands off me!
00:51:15Kill her!
00:51:22Oh, Valeria!
00:51:31Oh, oh, oh!
00:51:43Valeria!
00:51:46Valeria!
00:51:51Mooshun! Mooshun!
00:51:54Mooshun!
00:51:56Let me go!
00:51:58Let me go!
00:51:59Mooshun!
00:52:29Mooshun!
00:52:31Mooshun!
00:52:40Mooshun!
00:53:03Mooshun!
00:53:04Valeria.
00:53:12I came too late.
00:53:16I was too late.
00:53:24I will revenge you.
00:53:26I'm sure I recognize the man who did it.
00:53:29It was Tarquin.
00:53:31I will kill him.
00:53:49I will kill him.
00:53:50I am the man who will kill him.
00:53:51I will kill him.
00:53:56I will kill him.
00:54:04The king?
00:54:08He's waiting for you.
00:54:12Hold!
00:54:14I imagine this to be an unpleasant surprise.
00:54:18Frankly, I didn't expect it myself, I must confess.
00:54:21You traitors!
00:54:22You prefer to support a murderer instead of your king.
00:54:24Cowards!
00:54:25That's where you're wrong!
00:54:27They are brave soldiers who prefer war to base on shameful peace.
00:54:32The army will know how to punish your crime as it is done.
00:54:34The army obeys only its leaders.
00:54:37The men want victory, and they shall have it.
00:54:41As for you, I swear no harm shall come to you.
00:54:45Once the war's over, you'll be set free.
00:54:48And these same soldiers will decide what shall be done with you.
00:54:57Come on.
00:54:58Come on.
00:54:59Come on.
00:55:08Come on!
00:55:34Tarquin caught us in a trap, Publica Love.
00:55:36I'm afraid Moosius is dead, too.
00:55:38I only wanted peace, and they have mortally wounded me through their deaths.
00:55:43The truce is broken.
00:55:46Not only I, but all the people of Rome will want war, and they shall have it.
00:55:54Take her home.
00:56:13Never has wine tasted so good.
00:56:16Let us all drink to the triumph of our glorious armies, and the death of Caius Moosius.
00:56:22Victory!
00:56:23Victory!
00:56:24Okay.
00:56:26Where are we?
00:57:06Where are we?
00:57:44Where are we?
00:58:21Where are we?
00:58:26Where are we?
00:58:56While Rome mourns the death of her favorite son,
00:58:59we must remember that tears cannot heal our wounds.
00:59:02For the sake of our people,
00:59:04we must take strength from this terrible blow
00:59:07and strike back at those who have inflicted it upon us.
00:59:10We have no choice, I tell you.
00:59:12To surrender is all that is left to us.
00:59:14Better death than humiliation by the barbarians.
00:59:16It is our duty to save Rome from destruction.
00:59:18Let us surrender.
00:59:19Cowards, traitors.
00:59:20You, you are the traitors,
00:59:22and you know very well we can never win the war.
00:59:24I say we should prepare to surrender,
00:59:25and the Tarquin shall be our king once more.
00:59:27Stop!
00:59:32I am alive, thank the gods.
00:59:36But don't have any illusions.
00:59:39If Tarquin enters Rome,
00:59:41not one life will be spared.
00:59:44Now,
00:59:46who spoke of surrender?
00:59:48Better to die than live under tyranny.
00:59:50We'll go to war.
00:59:52With Lucius we shall have victory.
00:59:54Long live Lucius!
00:59:56Lucius shall lead us!
00:59:58Death to the Etruscum!
00:59:59We are leaders!
01:00:01The news has been confirmed.
01:00:02The Albans and the Sabines will intervene.
01:00:04Their plan is to attack us from the flank
01:00:06at the most critical moment of our offensive.
01:00:09That's very satisfactory.
01:00:11We'll manage to trick them all,
01:00:13Romans and their allies.
01:00:15We are not going to attack the Romans,
01:00:18but the Romans are going to attack us.
01:00:21Now,
01:00:21before I explain to you what I have in mind,
01:00:24I must know the exact situation here in camp.
01:00:26There were no attempts to escape during the night.
01:00:28The soldiers have all understood
01:00:29that it's in their own interest to obey us.
01:00:31The deserters that fled to Rome
01:00:32can be of great use to us.
01:00:35Without doubt,
01:00:35the Romans will think that our armies are weakened,
01:00:38divided,
01:00:38and that'll encourage them.
01:00:40When they find out that we have lifted the siege
01:00:43and that we are retreating...
01:00:44Retreating?
01:00:45But that's absurd!
01:00:46When we withdraw towards Fay,
01:00:48we'll be giving an excuse to the allies
01:00:49to stay right where they are,
01:00:51an invitation to the Romans to attack us,
01:00:53and an opportunity for us to smash them
01:00:55at a time and place most favorable to us.
01:00:58We are more numerous and much stronger.
01:01:02I tell you,
01:01:03we'll destroy the whole Roman army
01:01:06once and for all time.
01:01:08in the greatest battle in history.
01:01:11Porcina and Arunte are still greatly beloved
01:01:14by many soldiers in the Etruscan army.
01:01:17Tarquin only inspires hatred and contempt in them.
01:01:21We must take advantage of this
01:01:22before their resentment
01:01:24over the unjust treatment of their king
01:01:26has had time to cool down.
01:01:28The sooner we act,
01:01:30the more sure we will be of success.
01:01:32I have thought it over
01:01:34and advise immediate action.
01:01:35With the help of the gods,
01:01:37we shall not fail.
01:01:39The gates shall be flung open,
01:01:41and our army will go forth
01:01:42to glorious victory.
01:01:44We'll pursue the enemy.
01:01:46We'll attack him,
01:01:46and destroy him forever.
01:01:48And of Tarquin the proud,
01:01:49there shall remain nothing on the face of the earth
01:01:51except the story of his dishonorable hands.
01:01:56And of Tarquin.
01:01:56I propose to nominate one commander in authority
01:01:59who will have absolute powers
01:02:00for the duration of the war.
01:02:03Caius Lucius.
01:02:04Caius Lucius is our commander!
01:02:06Caius Lucius!
01:02:08Caius Lucius!
01:02:08Caius Lucius!
01:02:09Caius Lucius!
01:02:10Caius Lucius!
01:02:10If you're saying that to comfort me,
01:02:12you're wasting your breath.
01:02:13The wound is healing very well.
01:02:15As you saw for yourself,
01:02:16it'll soon be all right.
01:02:19It's dead.
01:02:20I can't feel it.
01:02:21The nerves and the articulation
01:02:22will come back to life,
01:02:23but it'll take time, of course.
01:02:26Time.
01:02:28Time is something I don't have.
01:02:30It's already miraculous
01:02:31that we were not forced
01:02:32to amputate your hand.
01:02:34I feel useless without a sword in my hand.
01:02:37A Centurion wishes to speak to you.
01:02:40Send him in.
01:02:41I'll be back tomorrow.
01:02:43Thank you, Servius.
01:02:45And forgive me
01:02:46for being a difficult patient.
01:02:48Greetings, Lucius.
01:02:50Greetings, Livius.
01:02:51What can I do for you?
01:02:52The son of Porcen,
01:02:53Arrunti, has managed to escape.
01:02:55He immediately has to see you.
01:02:57Where is he?
01:02:57Through there.
01:03:00Arrunti!
01:03:00Lucius, I can't tell you
01:03:01how happy I am to see you.
01:03:03Me too.
01:03:05Tell me about Clelia.
01:03:06She's been put under the care
01:03:07of the high priest.
01:03:08The Etruscan chiefs
01:03:09would have been willing
01:03:10to exchange her for their soldiers,
01:03:11your prisoners,
01:03:11but Tarquin refused to allow it.
01:03:13The scoundrel!
01:03:17Until the Ides of May,
01:03:18she will be in no danger.
01:03:20Only then, I'm afraid,
01:03:21during the celebrations
01:03:21in honor of the goddess Ceres,
01:03:23Clelia will be offered
01:03:24as a slave to Tarquin.
01:03:26The Ides of May.
01:03:28That's in ten days' time.
01:03:31Arrunti,
01:03:33I've just heard about your escape,
01:03:35and I'm very happy indeed
01:03:36to have you here with us again.
01:03:37I hope that your noble father,
01:03:39Porcina,
01:03:39will be able to join you.
01:03:41I thank you.
01:03:42The Senate has approved
01:03:43your nomination
01:03:44as commander-in-chief
01:03:44of our armies
01:03:45with absolute powers.
01:03:47You shall have the honor
01:03:48of leading our soldiers
01:03:49to victory.
01:03:51In the past,
01:03:52I would have received your words
01:03:53with pride and joy.
01:03:56Now they seem almost to mock me.
01:03:58How can I lead them into battle?
01:04:02Once my sword
01:04:03would have cleared a path
01:04:04through the enemy
01:04:04as wide as this room.
01:04:07But now I...
01:04:08We know your courage
01:04:09can never be diminished.
01:04:10That's what counts.
01:04:11For you, our men
01:04:12will fight bravely.
01:04:14For you,
01:04:14they will be proud to die.
01:04:17That adds greatly
01:04:18to my bitterness.
01:04:20I'm a soldier,
01:04:21not a figurehead.
01:04:22With the strength
01:04:23of your left hand alone,
01:04:24you can fight like two men.
01:04:25Don't underestimate it, Mooshes.
01:04:27I tried that with Tarquin
01:04:29and the sword
01:04:29fell from my hand.
01:04:30But that was some time ago.
01:04:33For how long now
01:04:33have you been using
01:04:34that same hand
01:04:35to dress yourself?
01:04:36For eating and drinking
01:04:36and even for writing.
01:04:37For all the things
01:04:38that before you used to do
01:04:39with your right hand.
01:04:40I'll bet that by now
01:04:41it comes so naturally
01:04:42that you might have been
01:04:43born left-handed.
01:04:45Perhaps if I did try it.
01:04:48I'm sure if...
01:04:50One hand is as good
01:04:51as another.
01:04:52You must exercise it
01:04:53and keep on exercising it.
01:04:54If you like,
01:04:55I'll help you.
01:04:57I'll help you.
01:05:07What?
01:05:11Come on.
01:05:18Strike!
01:05:27it's useless you may say that i have strength in my left hand but i'm not left-handed
01:05:34come on don't give up so easily let's carry on let's go
01:05:47be careful now musha so you'll defeat me much too easily
01:06:19just a few days more and i'm not going to be so foolish as to challenge you even for a
01:06:22joke
01:06:23i can't complain but i think you're exaggerating if you don't believe me try out with your soldiers
01:06:27you know the most capable call them and see how you make out i'll be able to check on you
01:06:31better
01:06:31if i can watch from the side all right julius julius come here
01:06:46you're first owlet and no holding back on your part

01:07:09all right then attack
01:07:18come on publius find us if you were really in combat
01:07:43that's enough stop
01:07:49have you noticed which is your weak point my right side it's impossible for you to defend
01:07:55what we need is something to protect you like this
01:08:01and if it was made of iron made like a huge glove that you could put on for fighting
01:08:06what do you think i'm sure there are good artisans in rome who could make it for you
01:08:10what do you think i'm sure there are good artisans in rome who could make it for you
01:08:21come on
01:08:28stop forward all of you
01:09:04from now on you can call me
01:09:06the left-handed
01:09:14i've been discussing it with arunte and he knows the time the place and the people involved
01:09:20the plan is simple and precise
01:09:24tarquin is encamped at bay to organize the festivities for series
01:09:28we must attack him at that time and at that place
01:09:33arunte will prepare the way for me by revealing himself to the first soldiers he meets
01:09:37and inciting them to rebel i'm certain that many of them are still loyal and will come over to us
01:09:43i hope so
01:09:44in any event your arrival will serve to distract the enemy
01:09:48while i break into their camp and take them by surprise
01:09:53the men i have chosen have sworn to fight to the death
01:09:57we will strike at the heart of the enemy at talk when himself
01:10:01we'll keep him engaged until you arrive with our main troops
01:10:04what if i should be delayed in my arrival the army must march in small groups and at night
01:10:09to avoid being discovered by the enemy
01:10:11that's true
01:10:13but we'll begin our attack when you're within a few miles away
01:10:17and if it fails
01:10:20we'll have to change our plan
01:10:22i'm only rash with my own life not others
01:10:25very well mushus
01:10:27and when do we march
01:10:31this very night the ides of may are only two days off
01:10:45not others
01:10:54it's not
01:10:57the
01:10:59our
01:11:00our
01:11:00our
01:11:00our
01:11:10oh
01:11:11Go, go, go.
01:11:39Pull it down.
01:11:40Pull down the prize! Pull it down!
01:11:46Come on! Pull down that prize!
01:12:04Keep going.
01:12:11Arute!
01:12:15There are very few men in the camp. Nearly all have gone to watch the festivities.
01:12:19We'll attack at once.
01:12:22This is no time to hold back.
01:12:24I know, but there's something that's worrying me. Their whole strength is not gathered at Tarquin's camp.
01:12:28The greater part of their army is assembled in a nearby valley.
01:12:30That doesn't matter. Publicola must be near now.
01:12:33All right. I'll go ahead as we agreed.
01:12:40Let's go.
01:12:43Let's go.
01:12:56Let's go.
01:13:00Let's go.
01:13:03Let's go.
01:13:05Let's go.
01:13:06Let's go.
01:13:11Let's go.
01:13:31Let's go.
01:13:34This is Tarquin, a virgin of noble Roman blood.
01:13:56Halt! Who are you?
01:14:01It's Arunty. It's Prince Arunty.
01:14:04Yes, I am indeed your prince, just as my father is still your king.
01:14:08But you permit him to be kept in chains by a band of traitors who are serving under an unscrupulous
01:14:12assassin.
01:14:13There's nothing we can do about it. You'd better go away.
01:14:15Not before you've all listened to me. Come forward. Hear what I have to say.
01:14:22Afterwards, it will be your own consciences that will tell you what to do.
01:14:28This gift that we offer you has been earned by your great valor.
01:14:32A paltry offering, but accepted as a small token of our faith in your cause.
01:14:37It is the will of the mighty gods that under the rays of this sun, before the whole world, you're
01:14:45mine.
01:14:48Give me your hand.
01:14:56You'll never have me alive.
01:14:58Failure!
01:15:03Lucius!
01:15:04Attack!
01:15:21Tachman, Roman cavalry is advancing across the plain. They're four miles from here.
01:15:25That's just what I wanted. Destroy that mass of vermin, and I'll pay his weight in gold for the head
01:15:30of Musher.
01:15:35Get the troops ready to go into battle. We haven't a moment to lose. Our fate will be decided today.
01:15:41To arms!
01:15:41Level 2
01:15:53Come on.
01:16:26Come on.
01:16:31Publicola has been beaten.
01:16:33Have our men ready for the final assault.
01:16:35Attack with the infantry.
01:17:04Have our men ready for the final assault.
01:17:40We are hopelessly outnumbered by them.
01:17:49Have the others join the assault.
01:17:50Attack with the cavalry.
01:17:51372,000 fire.
01:17:51Let's go.
01:18:28The enemy cavalry is attacking.
01:18:30Give orders for our cavalry to attack.
01:18:36Forward!
01:18:43Be prepared to die for the glory of Rome on the battlefield.
01:18:47Forward!
01:18:51Forward!
01:19:02Forward!
01:19:04Forward!
01:19:05Forward!
01:19:27Draw our troops back to the river!
01:19:56My father has been freed, some of our men are under his command.
01:19:59Forward then.
01:20:00Forward to freedom!
01:20:26Let's go!
01:20:29Hey!
01:21:09Hey!
01:21:30Hey!
01:21:31Hey!
01:21:34Hey!
01:21:37Hey!
01:21:39Hey!
01:21:43Hey!
01:21:44We're beaten. Some of our men have gone over to the enemy.
01:21:47Lucius and Arunta are leading them.
01:21:49Flee while there's still time.
01:21:50I still have one arrow left to my bowl.
01:21:56Meloni!
01:22:05Lucius!
01:22:07Surrender, Tarp, when you dog.
01:22:10It's finished for you.
01:22:12If you take another step forward, Clelia will be killed. Meloni!
01:22:24Tarquin, hold there!
01:22:30You're a king.
01:22:31If you still have any dignity left, accept your fate honorably.
01:22:35If you refuse to withdraw your men, I will give Meloni the order to strike.
01:22:40That won't save your life, and you know it.
01:22:43But if the consul approves, I will give you a chance to save yourself.
01:22:48You're the commander.
01:22:50Our victory is due only to you.
01:22:52Allow your own conscience to guide your decision.
01:22:59Fight with me in single combat.
01:23:02If you win, your life will be spared.
01:23:05That will not be sufficient.
01:23:07The Roman army must fall back for at least ten miles.
01:23:10I accept.
01:23:12In addition, every single man that you've taken prisoner must be freed at once.
01:23:20I accept.
01:23:22And I want a guarantee that the Romans will take no further action against me,
01:23:26or against any of my eventual allies.
01:23:29For the duration of one year.
01:23:31I accept.
01:23:32What else do you want, assassin?
01:23:34To kill you.
01:23:39You are all of you witnesses, friends and enemies,
01:23:42that I accept this challenge of Moosius in good faith.
01:23:46And that I believe in the pledge he has given.
01:23:57Here I am.
01:24:01Give him a shield.
01:24:15Thank you, Moosius, for giving me this fresh opportunity.
01:24:20Your life was saved by a miracle the last time we met.
01:24:23But now...
01:24:26I'm going to kill you.
01:25:00No.
01:25:03You are all of you.
01:25:08Honey.
01:25:12Uh.
01:25:17Ah!
01:25:18Ah.
01:25:18Ah.
01:25:20Ah.
01:25:20Ah.
01:25:21Ah.
01:25:21Ah.
01:25:22Ah.
01:25:22Ah.
01:25:23Ah.
01:25:23Ah.
01:25:39Kill her, Meloni!
01:25:44Kill her, Meloni.
01:25:46This is for Valeria.
01:25:48Oh!
01:25:49Oh!
01:25:52Oh!
01:25:53Oh!
01:25:55Clelia!
01:25:57Musia!
01:26:23Oh!
01:26:24Oh!
01:26:27Oh!
01:26:31Oh!
01:26:32Oh!
01:26:33Oh!
