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!
00:01:56Come!
00:02:11Let's go!
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! Try to protect the clarts!
00:02:19You! Send off the alarm signals!
00:02:21Go on! Hurry! To your position!
00:02:32Forward!
00:03:00Turn off another signal!
00:03:13They're being attacked.
00:03:16If we don't go to their aid, they'll all be slaughtered.
00:03:18There's nothing I can do about it. I've been forbidden to send out any of our soldiers.
00:03:22Let me open the gate.
00:03:23That's impossible. The consul won't allow it.
00:03:25Ah, yes. Quite right. And we'll obey him.
00:03:29What are you doing, Mocius? You've gone mad!
00:03:37Vernon asked the consul to come here.
00:03:42What are you two doing here?
00:03:44Who is the idiot who let you pass?
00:03:46Oh, excuse me, Valeria. Forgive me, Clelia.
00:03:49I have sent a message to your father, the consul.
00:03:51I hope he'll come quickly.
00:03:52Where's Mocius?
00:03:54He's gone to try to rescue the convoy.
00:04:03Stand firm, men. I've come to help you.
00:04:12It's Mocius! Fight harder!
00:04:14Now we'll be able to get through!
00:04:24You and Ruffman, coward!
00:04:26We'll beat you now!
00:04:36We have no teeth in next door!
00:04:40Turn around,ixe.
00:04:48We'll be right back!
00:04:48We'll be right back!
00:04:49We'll be right back!
00:04:50We're going back!
00:04:54Come on.
00:05:39Come on.
00:05:40The road is free.
00:05:41Hurry.
00:06:03Why don't you go with the others?
00:06:04There are more coming toward us.
00:06:06Look there.
00:06:08Go on with the others.
00:06:09Don't stand there.
00:06:10That's an order.
00:06:38Don't stand there.
00:06:39We're alive.
00:06:40We're saved.
00:06:51Three 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!
00:07:41We want our음악!
00:07:48töntum!
00:07:51We're on.
00:07:54They're becoming like animals.
00:07:58I've got to do something about this.
00:08:01Come, I wanna talk to you.
00:08:04Excuse us, Valeria.
00:08:13what's going on here they were trying to steal the grain oh please listen try to understand
00:08:18why they behave like that father the poor things are starving just this one set them free let them
00:08:25go i hear you had a bad time getting through i'd like to hear about it ten men were killed
00:08:31in the
00:08:31etruscan ambush the wagons were all saved thanks to the intervention of mushus do you confirm that
00:08:36yes you could say he defeated them almost single-handed these people are hungry father
00:08:40they've been waiting all day for the arrival of the carts won't you order the distribution
00:08:44immediately you're quite right my child
00:08:52citizens listen to me carefully the grain has cost many lives this you will agree has made it doubly
00:08:59precious it's going to be immediately distributed with the most scrupulous fairness
00:09:11and afterwards
00:09:16they'll capture you i'll never see you anymore i just know they'll kill you
00:09:23look at me closely a while ago you saw that crowd of starving people those demoralized soldiers
00:09:33rome is at the end of its resources its strength is exhausted
00:09:38and me what about me what am i going to do without you mushus
00:09:44if rome falls and tartwin returns to power we won't even be free to love one another
00:09:52i must kill the king of the etruscans without him tarquin's fangs will be drawn but how when
00:10:02this very night i'll kill him in his tent in his very bed if necessary but that's suicidal do you
00:10:11remember lucretia she didn't kill herself because of the shame that tarquin brought upon her
00:10:19no she killed herself because she wanted to show us how to live and so our republic was born and
00:10:26we
00:10:26regained our liberty without which life is not worth living if i die others will follow me but rome must
00:10:33be

00:11:06musha
00:11:07me
00:11:07me
00:11:07me
00:11:14me
00:11:20Let's go.
00:11:47Tormus!
00:11:49Tormus!
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.
00:12:02For me another drink.
00:12:10What is it?
00:12:11If you have something to say to the king, you can come back tomorrow.
00:12:13Poor sinner 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 poor sinner.
00:13:15So it was I you intended to kill.
00:13:17Who are you?
00:13:19A Roman.
00:13:21What is your name?
00:13:27It's Lucius.
00:13:28Yes, you're right.
00:13:29I recognize you.
00:13:29It's he all 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.
00:13:49Lucius certainly knows all about their military circumstances.
00:13:52And 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.
00:14:10Perhaps 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.
00:15:12It failed.
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 the bloodthirsty tyrant
00:16:17whom 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.
00:16:33Leave 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?
00:17:02I'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.
00:17:17Come 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
00:17:56if this coward had been willing to fight me in single combat.
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. I'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
00:18:42to make your appearance under the walls,
00:18:43to rise up in rebellion and overthrow the new Republic.
00:18:45I still swear it. And 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
00:19:00who would like to imitate them.
00:19:01Lucius has been my enemy for many years.
00:19:05I'm forced to the conclusion that only an overwhelming jealousy
00:19:09made 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.
00:19:24She'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
00:19:49to make whatever decisions that suit me, including the disposition of my sources.
00:19:52You go back on our firm agreement.
00:19:53You'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 Lucius free.
00:20:06Tomorrow 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
00:20:12that I shall prepare 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, Arote.
00:20:53Muchos 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?
00:21:18Certainly, 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.
00:21:33You 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.
00:21:44We saw the way he was taken in by that Mootius.
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.
00:21:56She's from the house of Fabi.
00:21:58Why do you insist on her?
00:22:00She's been promised as bride to Mootius.
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.
00:22:14I'll do just as you say.
00:22:15It's best for all concerned.
00:22:17You 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 Mootius shall be the first ones to be dealt with.
00:22:30I shall inform them.
00:22:31But Mootius' end will be my own concern.
00:22:34Go.
00:22:53Go.
00:23:07Go.
00:23:23Go.
00:23:32Go.
00:23:35Go.
00:23:37Go.
00:23:39Go.
00:23:44Tcham.
00:23:45he brings the terms of the truce with it I know the Senate will make its own
00:23:50decision but I can only say that Porson's proposal show a real desire
00:23:54for peace the Senate is waiting to hear you
00:24:05Clelia
00:24:09oh why you're wounded oh is it serious
00:24:18I don't know
00:24:27I'll be around to talk to you this evening very 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 Porson are through your offices has proposed to us
00:24:44are not altogether acceptable however we will consider them on the basis that
00:24:50they are an outline from which we will draw up the major points for the peace
00:24:54treaty which will be definitive in the meantime we accept a military truce
00:24:59while we take your proposals into consideration this is our reply to
00:25:04Porson are if the noble senators here present are in agreement they will
00:25:09raise their hands to show their approval
00:25:16if I have properly understood you will immediately accept a truce but you
00:25:20reserve the right to discuss the final conditions of a peace treaty at some time
00:25:24in the future exactly in that case we must have some guarantee that you will not
00:25:28utilize the armistice in any other manner than to study the points necessary to reach an
00:25:33agreement you must give us some hostages hostages that's outrageous what hostages
00:25:58we must put this request to the vote we won't tolerate it then there can be no truth the war
00:26:04will start again immediately then let's have the war Rome has never been afraid to fight for me I accept
00:26:10the
00:26:10the agreements. And to make sure I'm not accused of unfair discrimination, I will hand over
00:26:15my daughter, Valeria. Porcena is an honest man to be trusted. We must show him that we
00:26:20are equally so. The peace of the world asks, demands from many of us fathers, this great
00:26:26sacrifice. We must be worthy. History will prove us to have been right. I leave the final
00:26:35choice to all of you. Those who approve, raise their hands now. Your demands have been accepted.
00:26:52You shall have your hostages. I know the way you must be feeling. But I give you my word
00:27:00of honor that your young daughters will be treated as their high rank merits. I shall
00:27:05insist that they be returned to you at the very start of the discussion of the peace
00:27:08treaty. Does it still hurt, Lucius? Much less now. The new treatment that a Truscan doctor
00:27:19gave you was wonderful. Yes, but the hand feels dead. It's brought us peace. Don't you think
00:27:26that's enough? Publicola, what is it? We've arrived at some sort of an agreement. Valeria.
00:27:42But I can see in your face that you're not satisfied. The Senate has accepted all of Porcena's conditions
00:27:48to safeguard the peace treaty. A wise decision. I see then you had decided to give up Clelia.
00:27:57Clelia? What are you talking about? Arunzi has insisted we give him hostages. Ten young maidens from the
00:28:02nobility. Among them, naturally, Clelia. And the Senate accepted? Every word I have spoken is true.
00:28:09But this is ignoble. Arunzi has no right to demand hostages. Porcena never mentioned them.
00:28:15Yes, but there is nothing we can do. To safeguard Rome, we are compelled to send them. My own daughter,
00:28:22Valeria, is going with the others. We're ready to leave now.
00:28:32Don't be afraid. I'll be worthy of you. I thought I had paid enough.
00:28:58That was well done, Arunzi. I can see you had the good sense to follow my suggestion. I hope I'll
00:29:06never
00:29:06have cause to regret it.
00:29:14Who are all these young women? They're Roman hostages.
00:29:20Hostages? But why? They're here to guarantee the armistice is respected. I thought it was a good idea.
00:29:28Someone advised you. Surely you could see it was dishonorable.
00:29:38This is Clelia. She's promised in marriage to Lucius.
00:29:41You're lovely, my dear.
00:29:43And this is Valeria. She's the daughter of the famous consul, Publicola.
00:29:47Publicola and Lucius. Two 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.
00:30:00Arunzi, see to it that they are treated as befits their rank and that everything is done to make them
00:30:05comfortable.
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.
00:30:19Your father is a fine king.
00:30:21I'm glad you think so. Allow 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, but 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.
00:30:52Clelia!
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.
00:31:06Not long ago, Clelia 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.
00:31:40Well, Arunty, you've made yourself a protector of all of you.
00:31:43Get out of here!
00:31:44What's the matter?
00:31:46Have you gone out of your mind?
00:31:48No, Arunty, Arunty, you've made yourself a protector of all of you.
00:31:48No one is going to lay a finger on these girls.
00:31:50It's an order of the king, and 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 such 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.
00:32:28Thank 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.
00:33:53You're under my protection.
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.
00:34:39Clelia! She was here only a moment ago.
00:34:42Well, then she can't be very far away.
00:34:45Clelia! Clelia!
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,
00:35:06if 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!
00:35:29Well, what are you waiting for?
00:35:30There are other girls at the camp.
00:35:32If this was so anxious, the others must be impatient, too.
00:35:38Now I'll make you sorry for insulting me.
00:35:41Valeria!
00:35:43Valeria!
00:35:44Arunze!
00:35:45Help!
00:35:49Clelia!
00:35:51Clelia!
00:35:55Valeria!
00:35:55Help!
00:36:00Our companions are in terrible danger.
00:36:03Arunze, 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!
00:36:17The first man to disobey will taste my sword.
00:36:20But it was only a joke, Arunze.
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.
00:36:57Tomorrow we must get away from here.
00:36:59After what has happened, we can never really feel safe again.
00:37:02I'm quite satisfied to be under the protection of Porsana.
00:37:05Or rather, that of Oronte.
00:37:07And why not?
00:37:07I find him kind and courageous.
00:37:09I don't doubt it.
00:37:11But I learned something tonight that 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 Oronte 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.
00:38:00Halt.
00:38:01Make yourselves known.
00:38:03Lucius.
00:38:06Hail, Lucius.
00:38:07Is everything all right?
00:38:09I wouldn't say so.
00:38:10There'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.
00:38:20But 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.
00:38:27Carry on with your patrol.
00:39:05Light the lamps.
00:39:24We're saving a hero like you for a more inglorious end.
00:39:27Get him.
00:39:29Kill him!
00:39:40King to Kansas!わかった!
00:39:48Get the horsemen!
00:39:53Leave him to me.
00:39:56. There he is!
00:40:05Leave
00:40:05him to me.
00:40:06. . . . .
00:40:07. . .
00:40:21Oh
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 if you hadn't come they would have killed me
00:40:37They have met an end they richly deserved
00:40:51This would be a good time to do it. Look there. No one is even watching us. Are you sure
00:40:56about running away? Everybody has agreed upon it
00:41:06I still think it's wrong. Why?
00:41:10Staying on here under the protection of Arunthe would be much safer for us. He's an honorable man
00:41:15We'll see to it that we're not harmed
00:41:16What happened the other night is proof of it. He spoke one word and those horrible men ran away
00:41:21Neither he nor his father can help anymore
00:41:23The Etruscan chiefs stand behind Torquin. It's only a question of time now
00:41:27But if Arunthe knows nothing Clelia, he might believe that we've acted treacherously
00:41:31I understand how you feel about it, but we have no other choice. It's our duty now to try to
00:41:36save our families
00:41:37You know that very well Valeria
00:41:41Then I won't say anymore come
00:41:53This big log should serve our purpose
00:41:56Don't be frightened if we all push we should be able to get it out into midstream
00:42:00Rome's not much more than a mile away
00:42:03Clelia
00:42:04I'm so frightened
00:42:05Of what?
00:42:06I don't know how to swim well
00:42:07Don't worry I help you
00:42:08Yes, but the Etruscan soldiers will try to kill all of us. I don't think they dare do that Valeria
00:42:14Take courage. This is no time for hesitation. Now all together into the water
00:42:20Push
00:42:24Harder
00:42:33Come along swim
00:42:35Swim all of you swim
00:42:37Swim
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 what are you waiting for?
00:43:12Hold tight to the lawn.
00:43:25Look out for the arrows.
00:43:50Hold on, all of you, we're almost out of range of the arrows.
00:43:59And push, push 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, that you have all accepted, swearing loyalty and obedience to my
00:44:37father.
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.
00:45:35The session is over.
00:45:36We've done enough.
00:45:37Even war is pleasurable.
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, Lucius, 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, but we must do everything that is in our power to crush out all
00:46:34other human sentiments,
00:46:36but those which further the eventual good of our countrymen.
00:46:48Tarquin, Tarquin, Tarquin!
00:46:52What is it?
00:46:53What do you want?
00:46:54There's news from Rome.
00:46:56Horatius.
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?
00:47:12Dead or prisoners.
00:47:15Even Claudius?
00:47:16Yes.
00:47:17And naturally, Lucius 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.
00:48:54And a truce will be broken.
00:48:56Then we will see if Porcina babbles on about peace.
00:49:00Get ready, men!
00:49:11Halt!
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!
00:49:35Get ready, men.
00:49:50It's an ambush!
00:49:51You're on the cover with your shield!
00:49:53Move fast!
00:50:02Run back and give the alarm.
00:50:03We'll try to hold out here.
00:50:05Give me your shield.
00:50:16Unishathe your swords.
00:50:19Attack!
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.
00:50:56Oh, my God.
00:51:13Let me go. Take your hands off me.
00:51:15Kill her.
00:51:22Valeria.
00:51:42Valeria.
00:51:46Valeria.
00:51:59Valeria.
00:52:01Valeria.
00:52:02Valeria.
00:52:16Oh, my God.
00:52:31Oh, my God.
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 recognized the man who did it.
00:53:29It was Tarquin.
00:53:31I will kill him.
00:54:04The king?
00:54:07He's waiting for you.
00:54:11Hold!
00:54:14I imagine this to be an unpleasant surprise.
00:54:17Frankly, 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 is over, you'll be set free.
00:54:48And these same soldiers will decide what shall be done with you.
00:54:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:55:17We are still here, but we are still here.
00:55:34No harm was by the army.
00:55:34Tarquin caught us in a trap, Publica Love.
00:55:36I'm afraid Mooshis is dead too.
00:55:39I only wanted peace.
00:55:40And 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 let us all drink to the triumph of our glorious armies and the death
00:56:21of Caius
00:56:54Okay
00:57:13Oh
00:57:36Oh
00:57:55Oh
00:58:10Oh
00:58:11Oh
00:58:11Oh
00:58:13Oh
00:58:14Oh
00:58:14Oh
00:58:25Oh
00:58:26Oh
00:58:30Oh, my God.
00:58:33Oh, my God.
00:59:02For the sake of our people, we must take strength from this terrible blow and strike back at those who
00:59:09have 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.
00:59:21You 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 and the Torquen shall be our king once more.
00:59:27Stop.
00:59:28It's Lucius.
00:59:30It's alive.
00:59:31It's incredible.
00:59:32It's alive.
00:59:33I am alive.
00:59:34Thank the gods.
00:59:36But don't have any illusions.
00:59:39If Torquen enters Rome, not one life will be spared.
00:59:44Now, who spoke of surrender?
00:59:48Better to die than live under tyranny.
00:59:50We'll go to war with Lucius.
00:59:52We'll show the victory.
00:59:54Long live Lucius.
00:59:56Lucius shall lead us.
00:59:58Death to the Idrusca.
00:59:59We are leader.
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 at 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.
01:00:19Why did the Romans go ahead?
01:00:21Before I explain to you what I have in mind, I 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 that it's in their own interest to obey us.
01:00:31The deserters that fled to Rome can be of great use to us.
01:00:35Without doubt, the Romans will think that our armies are weakened, divided.
01:00:39And that'll encourage them.
01:00:41When they find out that we have lifted the siege and that we are retreating...
01:00:44Retreating?
01:00:45But that's absurd.
01:00:46When we withdraw towards Faye, we'll be giving an excuse to the Allies to 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 at a time and place most favorable to us.
01:00:58We are more numerous and much stronger.
01:01:02I tell you, we'll destroy the whole Roman army once and for all time.
01:01:08In the greatest battle in history.
01:01:11Porcina and Arunte are still greatly beloved by many soldiers in the Etruscan army.
01:01:17Tarquin only inspires hatred and contempt in them.
01:01:21We must take advantage of this before their resentment over the unjust treatment of their king has had time to
01:01:27cool down.
01:01:28The sooner we act, the more sure we will be of success.
01:01:32I have thought it over and advise immediate action.
01:01:35With the help of the gods, we shall not fail.
01:01:39The gates shall be flung open and our army will go forth to glorious victory.
01:01:44We'll pursue the enemy.
01:01:45We'll attack him and destroy him forever.
01:01:48And of Tarquin the proud, there shall remain nothing on the face of the earth except the story of his
01:01:52dishonorable hands.
01:01:53Well, please.
01:01:56I propose to nominate one commander in authority who will have absolute powers for the duration of the war.
01:02:03Caius Mucius.
01:02:04Caius Mucius is our commander.
01:02:06Caius Mucius!
01:02:07Caius Mucius!
01:02:10If you're saying that to comfort me, you're wasting your breath.
01:02:13The wound is healing very well.
01:02:15As you saw for yourself, it'll soon be all right.
01:02:19It's dead.
01:02:20I can't feel it.
01:02:21The nerves and the articulation will come back to life, but it'll take time, of course.
01:02:26Time.
01:02:28Time is something I don't have.
01:02:30It's already miraculous that we were not forced to amputate your hand.
01:02:34I feel useless without a sword in my hand.
01:02:36A 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 for being a difficult patient.
01:02:48Greetings, Mucius.
01:02:50Greetings, Livius.
01:02:51What can I do for you?
01:02:52The son of Porcina, Arunty, has managed to escape.
01:02:55He immediately has to see you.
01:02:57Where is he?
01:02:57Through there.
01:03:00Arunty.
01:03:00Mucius.
01:03:01I can't tell you how 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 of the high priest.
01:03:08The Etruscan chiefs would have been willing to exchange her for their soldiers, your prisoners, but Tarquin refused to allow
01:03:13it.
01:03:13The scoundrel.
01:03:17Until the Ides of May, she will be in no danger.
01:03:20Only then, I'm afraid, during the celebrations in honor of the goddess Ceres, Clelia will be offered as a slave
01:03:24to Tarquin.
01:03:26The Ides of May.
01:03:28That's in ten days' time.
01:03:31Arunty.
01:03:33I've just heard about your escape.
01:03:35And I'm very happy indeed to have you here with us again.
01:03:38I hope that your noble father, Porcina, will be able to join you.
01:03:41I thank you.
01:03:42The Senate has approved your nomination as commander-in-chief of our armies with absolute powers.
01:03:47You shall have the honor of leading our soldiers to victory.
01:03:51In the past, I would have received your words with 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 would have cleared a path through the enemy as wide as this room.
01:04:07But now I...
01:04:08We know your courage can never be diminished.
01:04:10That's what counts.
01:04:11For you, our men will fight bravely.
01:04:14For you, they will be proud to die.
01:04:17That adds greatly to my bitterness.
01:04:20I am a soldier, not a figurehead.
01:04:22With the strength of your left hand alone, you can fight like two men.
01:04:25Don't underestimate it, Moosius.
01:04:27I tried that with Tarkin, and the sword fell from my hand.
01:04:30But that was some time ago.
01:04:33For how long now have you been using that same hand to dress yourself?
01:04:36For eating and drinking and even for writing?
01:04:37For all the things that before you used to do with your right hand?
01:04:40I'll bet that by now it comes so naturally that you might have been born left-handed.
01:04:45Perhaps if I did try it.
01:04:48I'm sure if...
01:04:49One hand is as good as another.
01:04:52You must exercise it, and keep on exercising it.
01:04:54If you like, I'll help you.
01:05:07What?
01:05:12Come on.
01:05:19Strike!
01:05:27It's useless.
01:05:29You may say that I have strength in my left hand, but I'm not left-handed.
01:05:34Come on.
01:05:35Don't give up so easily.
01:05:35Let's carry on.
01:05:37Let's go.
01:05:47Be careful now, Moosius, or 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.
01:06:25If you don't believe me, try out with your soldiers.
01:06:28You know the most capable.
01:06:29Call them and see how you make out.
01:06:30I'll be able to check on you better if I can watch from the side.
01:06:33All right.
01:06:34All right.
01:06:38Julius, Aulis, come here.
01:06:46You're first, Aulis, and no holding back on your part.
01:06:59Fight! Who do you think I am?
01:07:09All right, then. Attack!
01:07:18Come on, Publius. Fight as if you were really in combat.
01:07:34Hold!
01:07:42That's enough! Stop!
01:07:49Have you noticed which is your weak point?
01:07:51My right side.
01:07:53It's impossible for you to defend.
01:07:55What we need is something to protect you.
01:07:58Like this.
01:08:01And if it was made of iron,
01:08:03made like a huge glove that you could put on for fighting,
01:08:06what do you think?
01:08:07I'm sure there are good artisans in Rome who could make it for you.
01:08:21Come on!
01:08:27Stop!
01:08:29Forward, all of you!
01:08:55Step two!
01:08:57Let's go.
01:08:58Please, let's go.
01:09:01Stop! Quiet!
01:09:04From now on, you can call me the 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 Vey to organize the festivities for Ceres.
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.
01:09:39I'm certain that many of them are still loyal and will come over to us.
01:09:43I hope so.
01:09:45In any event, your arrival will serve to distract the enemy,
01:09:48while I break into their camp and take them by surprise.
01:09:52The men I have chosen have sworn to fight to the death.
01:09:56We will strike at the heart of the enemy, at Tarquin 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?
01:10:07The army must march in small groups, and at night, to 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, we'll have to change our plan.
01:10:22I'm only rash with my own life, not others.
01:10:26Very well, Moosius.
01:10:27And when do we march?
01:10:31This very night, the Ides of May are only two days off.
01:10:59Jump!
01:11:03Jump!
01:11:08Go, hop, hop!
01:11:16Go, hop, hop, hop!
01:11:22Go, hop, hop!
01:11:24What else is that they have to do?
01:11:29Let it go.
01:11:39Pull it down.
01:11:41Pull down the prize.
01:11:42Pull it down.
01:11:46Come on.
01:11:47Pull down the prize.
01:12:05Keep down.
01:12:11Arute.
01:12:15There are very few men in the camp.
01:12:17Nearly 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.
01:12:26Their 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.
01:12:52You're welcome.
01:12:54All right.
01:12:54All right.
01:13:03All right.
01:13:21O goddess, forever bountiful to those who do you honor and offer their devotion,
01:13:27to you we wish to sacrifice these lambs.
01:13:31And for you, we offer the magnificent Tarquin, a virgin of noble Roman blood.
01:13:57Hold. Who are you?
01:14:01It's Oronti. It's Prince Oronti.
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.
01:14:14You'd better go away.
01:14:15Not before you've all listened to me.
01:14:18Come forward. Hear what I have to say.
01:14:22Afterwards, it will be your own consciences that will tell you what to do.
01:14:27This 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,
01:14:44you're mine.
01:14:48Give me your hand.
01:14:56You'll never have me alive.
01:14:58Failure!
01:14:59Failure!
01:15:03Muchos!
01:15:04Attack!
01:15:21Tachman, Roman cavalry is advancing across the plain.
01:15:24They're four miles from here.
01:15:25That's just what I wanted.
01:15:27Destroy that mass of vermin, and I'll pay his weight in gold for the head of Musher.
01:15:35Get the troops ready to go into battle.
01:15:37We haven't a moment to lose.
01:15:39Our fate will be decided today.
01:15:41To arms.
01:16:34Attack with the infantry.
01:17:40We are hopelessly outnumbered by them.
01:17:49Have the others join the assault.
01:17:50Attack for the cavalry.
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!
01:18:49Forward!
01:18:50Forward!
01:19:02Forward!
01:19:04Fight!
01:19:27Draw our troops back to the river!
01:19:56My father has been freed.
01:19:57Some of our men are under his command.
01:19:59Forward, then.
01:20:00Forward to freedom!
01:20:01President Obama!
01:20:30There he is!
01:20:33There he is!
01:21:02There he is!
01:21:49There he is!
01:21:58There he is!
01:22:06There he is!
01:22:34There he is!
01:22:47There he is!
01:23:16There he is!

01:23:44There he is!
01:23:47There he is!
01:23:57There he is!
01:24:00There he is!
01:24:03There he is!
01:24:24There he is!
01:24:25There he is!
01:25:00There he is!
01:25:08There he is!
01:25:11There he is!
01:25:13There he is!
01:25:13There he is!
01:25:40There he is!
01:25:41There he is!
01:25:47There he is!
01:25:47There he is!
01:25:49There he is!
01:26:11There he is!
01:26:14There he is!
01:26:16There he is!
01:26:25There he is!
