00:00:30...
00:01:13In 44 BC, the assassination of Julius Caesar, the powerful ruler of Rome, created a chaotic situation.
00:01:21Courageous citizens were trying to regain power.
00:01:32Oh mighty Caesar, what will become of your work?
00:01:38Will your triumphant conquests, which ensured the glory of Rome, crumble?
00:01:50Farewell, Caesar.
00:01:52The struggle for power reached its peak in Macedonia, on the plains of Philippi,
00:01:57where the armies of Brutus and Cassius, leaders of the conspiracy against Caesar,
00:02:01desperately tried to avoid the defeat that Octavian and Mark Antony, avengers of Caesar, were about to inflict upon them.

00:02:28Subtitling by Radio-Canada
00:02:43Is the general here?
00:02:44He's here.
00:02:51Cassius.
00:03:06Not as far as the ruined Temple.
00:03:07Tell Aurel to retreat and join Brutus on the western flank.
00:03:10But I would have to leave my position.
00:03:11You can do it without fear, Cassius is dead.
00:03:32Our situation is very precarious.
00:03:35Mark Antony has cut us off from our ships, and Octavian's forces are large enough to hold us in
00:03:40failure.
00:03:41Cassius will have to force their line and bring back supplies.
00:03:43That's our only hope. Okay, Brutus, but you're relying far too much on Cassius.
00:03:47General, what's going on, Lucilius?
00:03:49Marc-Ulius is right. You rely too much on Cassius. He took his own life.
00:03:54Antoine would have taken him captive during his first attack.
00:03:56GOOD.
00:03:59Leave me alone with the centurion.
00:04:01He left this.
00:04:03We were hopeless. We were fighting three against one.
00:04:07This is the end.
00:04:10Brutus and Cassius will never rule Rome.
00:04:14However, you would have done better than Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, or Octavian.
00:04:20It is because I believed it that I came to you.
00:04:22No, these words will be engraved on my tombstone, Lucilius. Thank you.
00:04:27General, perhaps you could escape.
00:04:31And rally the parties to your cause.
00:04:35Now that Cassius is no longer holding them back, the forces of Antony and Octavian will join forces.
00:04:41I believe the final battle is near.
00:04:44I can give you time to escape.
00:04:46You ?
00:04:47When Antony's soldiers come to seize him, I can be Brutus.
00:04:51You, take my place?
00:04:52Yes, indeed.
00:04:53But you will be killed.
00:04:54I have given you my life since day one.
00:04:57It doesn't matter if it's a few hours more or less.
00:04:59A centurion, I cannot let you do that for me.
00:05:02Perhaps it would be better for both of us to say that I am doing it for Rome.
00:05:12May the gods of war be favorable to you, Lucilius.
00:05:40A centurion, Lucilius.
00:05:45...
00:06:29Victory. Complete victory, Octave.
00:06:32Have trumpets ever sounded such a victory?
00:06:35Mark Antony and Octavian will now rule the world.
00:06:38About Rome.
00:06:39Rome is the world.
00:06:41Perhaps I should go back in.
00:06:42I abandon you, Brutus.
00:06:44I abandon you, Brutus. Thank you very much.
00:07:06General.
00:07:10General.
00:07:11General.
00:07:17What do you want?
00:07:19We have him. He didn't defend himself. He didn't even draw his sword.
00:07:23Brutus?
00:07:24The great Brutus who needed twelve daggers to kill Julius Caesar.
00:07:28Bring it here.
00:07:32This is Brutus.
00:07:35His head will soon adorn your spear.
00:07:39I'm afraid, my friend, that you've got the wrong head.
00:07:42But he told me he was Brutus.
00:07:44You were wrong to believe him.
00:07:46Who are you to wear Brutus's cloak?
00:07:49Centurion Lucilius of Cassius' First Legion.
00:07:52An imposter?
00:07:55You don't value your life very much, so you wouldn't trade it for that madman's.
00:08:00Brutus.
00:08:01I donated it to those whom we believe have rights.
00:08:04Brutus escaped thanks to him.
00:08:06Hand him over to my men, Antoine. They will know how to punish such treachery.
00:08:09Maybe.
00:08:11But a soldier who also knows how to be loyal to his general.
00:08:15Towards ?
00:08:16Ram.
00:08:18Would you act the same way, Domitius?
00:08:20It doesn't matter. What matters is that you brought me a prisoner greater than you expected.
00:08:24suppose.
00:08:25Of that, I am certain.
00:08:27It is better to make friends with such men than enemies.
00:08:31I believe it is necessary to start searching for Brutus, seriously.
00:08:35Yes, seriously.
00:08:38Domitius.
00:08:40Yes.
00:08:40May the wine flow freely for everyone tonight.
00:08:43GOOD.
00:08:45I had been told that Marc-Antoine was generous.
00:08:48A man of war must be generous in victory as well as in defeat.
00:08:55What wealth, what luxury.
00:08:57What company for a man of war.
00:09:03A victorious warrior.
00:09:06Sit down.
00:09:10I'm curious, perhaps.
00:09:13But why do you say that Brutus is within his rights?
00:09:15Because he would have returned Rome to the people.
00:09:19Brutus?
00:09:21You're not very political, Centurion.
00:09:23A good soldier, yes, but a deplorable politician.
00:09:27Brutus is said to have weakened Rome by exhausting its armies.
00:09:30We would have been easy prey for the barbarians.
00:09:33This was the fate to which Rome was destined.
00:09:37And you let yourself be taken in by his words, like so many others.
00:09:39And what are you trying to do right now?
00:09:45Don't question too much a man to whom you owe your life.
00:09:49Know, however, that whatever I do, I do it for two reasons.
00:09:55Rome and my pleasure.
00:09:59Rome first and foremost.
00:10:08Do you wage all wars in this way?
00:10:15Wherever I go, the earth follows me.
00:10:17Women make everything beautiful, even wars, Lucilius.
00:10:20Life is short, let us hasten to seize its hours.
00:10:23And the hours spent near a loved one are the most beautiful.
00:10:28Hey, Antoine.
00:10:38You don't seem very happy.
00:10:41I don't have as many reasons as you do.
00:10:45Oh, so earthy.
00:10:47He is still thinking about Brutus and the defeat.
00:10:52Usually, your presence makes men forget everything.
00:10:55General.
00:10:57We have found Brutus.
00:11:00Bring it over.
00:11:01We found him dead.
00:11:03He had pierced himself with his own glove.
00:11:08Thank you, Domitius.
00:11:21Brutus had neither the heart nor the courage,
00:11:23nor the magnanimity necessary to lead men.
00:11:28He owed his life to me.
00:11:30To do that, he had to defend her.
00:11:33As we would have done.
00:11:36We are both made of the same stuff.
00:11:38We are real soldiers.
00:11:40Brutus was not.
00:11:43Valis ma cause, Lucilius.
00:11:46The war is over.
00:11:47There are no more conquests left to make.
00:11:49No.
00:11:50It remains the most dangerous of all.
00:11:53A woman.
00:11:54There's still one woman left to win over.
00:11:57A young and beautiful woman.
00:11:59It is she who, I believe,
00:12:00provides Brutus with ships and provisions,
00:12:03while claiming to have for Octave and myself
00:12:05a purely diplomatic friendship.
00:12:07That is the conquest that remains to be made.
00:12:10The Enchantress of the Nile.
00:12:13Cleopatra.
00:12:13Queen of Egypt.
00:12:15Perhaps you will need my services.
00:12:17I sent an emissary to ask him
00:12:18to come to Tarsus.
00:12:21You'll see how I am with the charmers.
00:12:25In search of a queen.
00:12:28From a woman.
00:12:29Ah, can a woman be conquered?
00:12:51Can I believe my eyes?
00:12:54Look, Lucilius.
00:12:56Could that be an approaching fleet?
00:13:05Cleopatra will be there.
00:13:06But with a fleet.
00:13:09I was expecting a repentant woman asking for his forgiveness.
00:13:12And she presents herself as a conqueror.
00:13:16She will pay.
00:13:18She will pay with all the gold she can get.
00:13:20of his people from Egypt.
00:13:21Such a proud woman will never pay
00:13:23that he chooses to pay.
00:13:25Do you know her?
00:13:26I was the head of Caesar's Praetorian Guard
00:13:28while she was his...
00:13:31his wife.
00:13:32I was of very little importance in his eyes
00:13:34so that she wouldn't ask me for anything.
00:13:37Are you afraid?
00:13:39Let's just say it would be reckless to underestimate it.
00:13:43These are sleek and fast ships.
00:13:45Fast and well-armed.
00:13:47For war?
00:13:47To impress the soldier who looked at himself and saw.
00:13:52How should I deal with this woman?
00:13:54Bring her here and drag her into court?
00:13:57Or should we use diplomacy?
00:13:59Should we throw him a magnificent party?
00:14:02And ask him for tribute with sweet words?
00:14:05I believe that our Queen of Egypt
00:14:07will make sure you are informed, don't worry.
00:14:11By Bacchus, heavens...
00:14:15What does he have?
00:14:16A messenger sent by Queen Cleopatra.
00:14:18A messenger?
00:14:19But his ships have not yet dropped anchor.
00:14:21The messenger was landed upstream
00:14:22in order to contact you before disembarkation.
00:14:26Is he coming back?
00:14:28A message from the August Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt.
00:14:34To the great friend of Egypt, Mark Antony,
00:14:38autocrat of Rome.
00:14:41Autocrat.
00:14:44You see, Lusilius, she knows the value of a word.
00:14:47As you know the value of a sword.
00:14:48Both have their strengths.
00:14:51Perhaps the queen is considering bringing them together?
00:14:53Bring them together?
00:14:55I said use diplomacy.
00:14:58But she's the one who's organizing the party.
00:14:59The feast and the words that followed.
00:15:02We will do justice to the feast.
00:15:04Tell your queen that I will come.
00:15:09Tell him too,
00:15:11There is not enough wine in all of Egypt.
00:15:13to intoxicate Antoine to the point that he could be deceived with words.
00:15:21I've heard it said that Cleopatra intoxicated men more surely than wine.
00:15:24I let myself go.
00:15:26Oh !
00:15:27I've heard that he's silent.
00:15:45But, I'm telling you.
00:16:11It's no longer a ship, it's a floating palace.
00:16:14It's a beautiful cage, a golden cage.
00:16:19Gold, gold, Egyptian gold, Antony's steel, where is that queen of
00:16:29Gold?
00:17:30You can win Caesar's heart.
00:17:33Welcome to the noble Antony, autocrat of Rome.
00:17:38To the forgotten ones who govern Rome.
00:17:41The triumvirate of Octavian, Lepidus and Mark Antony.
00:17:45The world knows only one conqueror.
00:17:48Statues and hotels will not be erected.
00:17:50Only for Mark Antony.
00:17:55Hey, it's the captain of Julius Caesar's Praetorian Guard.
00:17:58General Mark Antony and his friend, Lucilius.
00:18:02Antoine's friends could only be mine.
00:18:05So take a seat with us.
00:18:07That's too much of an honor.
00:18:25Would you display such luxury in front of Julius Caesar?
00:18:28Much more.
00:18:31Caesar was an elderly man.
00:18:33It was necessary to warm his old blood.
00:18:36Antoine is young.
00:18:38So why luxury?
00:18:40The woman is enough.
00:18:46You see, Lucilius, more woman than queen.
00:18:50The key is to determine exactly where one ends and the other begins.
00:18:56Were you able to do that as far as I'm concerned, General?
00:18:58during your stay alongside Julius Caesar?
00:19:02In your presence, August Queen, the mind is too dazzled.
00:19:05to focus on something other than your radiant beauty.
00:19:10Your friend is handling the situation with wit.
