1
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:17,560
<i>Wake.</i>

2
00:00:22,857 --> 00:00:25,901
<i>You stand but first
crude brick, laying foundation</i>

3
00:00:26,068 --> 00:00:27,903
<i>to the rise of
the house of Ashur.</i>

4
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:29,405
All those before me shall fall.

5
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:31,073
Enter the brothers Ferox!

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,617
Aargh!

7
00:00:35,161 --> 00:00:37,997
That toad is pet to
Marcus fucking Crassus.

8
00:00:38,164 --> 00:00:40,166
Apologies, Gabinius.
We did not think.

9
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:43,836
I shall redouble the effort to
secure undiscovered spectacle

10
00:00:44,003 --> 00:00:46,297
and see rematch upon a day.

11
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,551
<i>Let us gaze upon
glorious future.</i>

12
00:00:50,676 --> 00:00:55,055
Aargh! Pledge oath, call me
Dominus and fight in the arena.

13
00:00:55,181 --> 00:00:57,099
Earn your freedom
upon the sands.

14
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:59,643
-<i>Achillia.</i>
-Dominus.

15
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:22,917
Ay!

16
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,086
Tarchon! You lower
shield before you strike.

17
00:01:25,169 --> 00:01:28,756
See it raised-
or your brains upon the sands.

18
00:01:28,923 --> 00:01:30,633
Yes, Doctore.

19
00:01:38,849 --> 00:01:40,100
You fight with vigor.

20
00:01:40,893 --> 00:01:43,270
Well, this house now
stands absent champion-

21
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:45,231
a position I would claim my own.

22
00:01:45,397 --> 00:01:47,191
Well, to become champion,

23
00:01:47,316 --> 00:01:50,361
you must first
defeat vaunted father.

24
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:03,999
A venture yet beyond grasp.

25
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,629
For now, you withered corpse.

26
00:02:17,972 --> 00:02:19,431
You mad fuck!

27
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:22,393
-You lower your guard.
-Towards good fucking reason.

28
00:02:54,216 --> 00:02:56,093
We have felt the sting

29
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:58,012
of loss.

30
00:02:59,096 --> 00:03:00,306
<i>Witnessed honored champion</i>

31
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:01,849
<i>fall upon the sands of the arena</i>

32
00:03:01,932 --> 00:03:05,227
<i>to the ill-thriven jackals
of Proculus.</i>

33
00:03:05,978 --> 00:03:08,981
Yet, as rising sun breaks dawn,

34
00:03:09,148 --> 00:03:10,650
so too shall the House of Ashur

35
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:13,068
dispel darkest
night of indignity.

36
00:03:14,278 --> 00:03:16,823
We shall no longer be bound
by the shackles of history

37
00:03:16,906 --> 00:03:18,699
or fucking tradition!

38
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:21,952
<i>We set foot upon
uncharted course</i>

39
00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:24,121
to satisfy the crowd's desire

40
00:03:24,622 --> 00:03:26,916
with more exotic...

41
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:28,918
offerings.

42
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,755
<i>But how shall rising
thirst be quenched?</i>

43
00:03:33,255 --> 00:03:35,507
There stands but one
capable of satiating

44
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:37,676
such ravenous mob!

45
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:40,054
Behold,

46
00:03:40,679 --> 00:03:42,181
Achillia.

47
00:03:43,641 --> 00:03:45,517
<i>The Goddess of Death.</i>

48
00:03:49,521 --> 00:03:53,025
Silence fucking tongue,
and attend your Dominus!

49
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:58,572
Return to training,
you simple fucks.

50
00:04:01,784 --> 00:04:03,035
Doctore,

51
00:04:04,119 --> 00:04:05,537
see Achillia to instruction.

52
00:04:06,664 --> 00:04:10,501
Dacus, sword and shield,
towards style of Murmillo!

53
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:12,586
Yes, Doctore!

54
00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:18,258
The woman bears resemblance
to my mother-

55
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:19,969
a spiteful fucking whore.

56
00:04:20,678 --> 00:04:23,305
That explains much,
you witless shit.

57
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:29,228
-A fucking woman, father.
-Turn thoughts.

58
00:04:29,812 --> 00:04:31,814
And raise guard!

59
00:04:32,523 --> 00:04:33,649
Erato!

60
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:35,192
Pair with Achillia.

61
00:04:36,193 --> 00:04:39,405
I would see cock tangle
with more worthy adversary.

62
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:43,158
Work the fucking log!

63
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,335
-Ay!
-Tarchon!

64
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:56,088
Pair with Achillia.

65
00:04:58,132 --> 00:05:00,092
Yes, Doctore.

66
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:05,056
Shall I treat her as opponent

67
00:05:05,139 --> 00:05:06,846
or something of
delicate persuasion?

68
00:05:10,269 --> 00:05:12,896
A question I was of mind
to pose towards <i>you.</i>

69
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:16,984
See idle words give
way to clash of swords.

70
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:28,370
Begin!

71
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:38,672
She is of a form, is she not?

72
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:42,760
-Yes, Dominus.
-Mm-hm.

73
00:06:12,623 --> 00:06:14,291
Aargh!

74
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,548
You have fought before,
yet not against such as I.

75
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:27,596
Fucking shield weights intent.

76
00:06:33,477 --> 00:06:35,979
You will address me as Doctore.

77
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:37,940
Retrieve the shield.

78
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:40,776
It is not to my benefit,
Doctore.

79
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:43,946
You will do as commanded!

80
00:06:51,078 --> 00:06:52,412
<i>Achillia,</i>

81
00:06:52,955 --> 00:06:54,248
stand ground.

82
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,000
And receive correction.

83
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:01,130
Dominus.

84
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:19,898
The moment has fucking passed.

85
00:07:22,693 --> 00:07:24,027
Resume training.

86
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,339
Begin!

87
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:46,133
Aargh!

88
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:49,011
She does not grant respect
title of Doctore demands.

89
00:07:49,136 --> 00:07:51,388
Respect is not granted;
it is taken.

90
00:07:51,555 --> 00:07:53,140
Instruct Achillia in our ways

91
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:55,309
and see bared teeth give
way to averted gaze.

92
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:58,228
A lesson not easily
grasped by rabid dog.

93
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:00,772
Then respond with lash
until tongue laps at heel.

94
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:02,549
And what if beast
cannot be tamed?

95
00:08:03,108 --> 00:08:04,860
Spartacus once stood as wild.

96
00:08:05,027 --> 00:08:07,613
Yet by will and teachings
of Oenomaus,

97
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:09,281
he was domesticated

98
00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:11,992
and became champion
of fucking Capua-

99
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:13,494
a result I would see mirrored.

100
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:16,079
She reflects but promise
of disappointment.

101
00:08:17,581 --> 00:08:19,625
-Do you stand fucking Dominus?
-I do not.

102
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:23,128
Yet you bleat as if exalted
title cloaks you in such regard.

103
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:25,881
I account what eyes behold
through lens of experience.

104
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:29,968
She is but fucking clay
for your hands to mold.

105
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:31,929
Forge her in the
fires of this Ludus,

106
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,597
hardening her to swift purpose.

107
00:08:33,764 --> 00:08:36,642
Swift? Achillia has but
only commenced training.

108
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,849
A thing of minor consequence.

109
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:42,314
I would see her ready for the
games of the Ludi Apollinares.

110
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:46,443
-You have secured position?
-I maneuver towards such.

111
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,613
So we but
clutch at fanciful dream.

112
00:08:49,780 --> 00:08:51,907
As certain as waking
upon each fucking day,

113
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:54,910
I shall see it done and
claim desired contest against

114
00:08:55,077 --> 00:08:56,828
the Brothers Ferox once more.

115
00:08:57,371 --> 00:09:00,207
You wager all that crowd
will not turn upon us.

116
00:09:00,916 --> 00:09:03,210
-For presenting novelty?
-For breaking tradition,

117
00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:05,045
when fucking <i>woman</i>
takes to the sands.

118
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,089
Tradition is but
a word revered by those

119
00:09:07,256 --> 00:09:08,548
who pursue mediocrity.

120
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:10,717
The House of Ashur
will carve its own path

121
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:13,929
and fuck into oblivion
all who stands in its way.

122
00:09:14,346 --> 00:09:17,224
Dominus, message
has arrived from Rome.

123
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:20,936
Ah! At last.

124
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:23,897
Mighty Crassus deigns
to respond.

125
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,608
Apologies.
It is not from Crassus.

126
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:27,651
Who, then?

127
00:09:30,028 --> 00:09:31,989
Julius fucking Caesar.

128
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:35,033
A man of no worth beyond name
granted by slipping

129
00:09:35,158 --> 00:09:36,743
from mother's cunt.

130
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,205
He stands a quaestor, does he
not? A position of some note.

131
00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:40,831
Fuck position.

132
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:43,925
Caesar flings his own shit and
declares it manna from heaven.

133
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,650
<i>He breaks words
of some distress?</i>

134
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:51,967
Some.

135
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:55,595
He sends us and our
men upon Appian Way,

136
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:58,181
towards unsavory task.

137
00:09:58,807 --> 00:10:01,059
Do you not stand a free man,
as Caesar?

138
00:10:01,226 --> 00:10:02,853
<i>And as such,
not bound by request?</i>

139
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:06,565
I stand free in the eye of
the republic, yet not in coin.

140
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:10,527
Crassus is honored patron
and Caesar his fucking will.

141
00:10:11,236 --> 00:10:15,032
We must part lips and
swallow anointed cock.

142
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,090
Move cart further
from fucking nose.

143
00:10:55,739 --> 00:10:57,282
It is a heavy sight...

144
00:10:58,283 --> 00:11:01,787
to witness so many hearts no
longer beating beneath chest.

145
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,666
<i>The rebel army that
shook the mighty republic</i>

146
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:11,046
reduced to rotten flesh
beneath vengeful sun.

147
00:11:11,421 --> 00:11:14,383
Shit cock!

148
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:20,305
We stand gladiators,
not common fucking slaves.

149
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:23,392
You stand as I fucking command!

150
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:32,442
Creticus has mind equal to
dazed child, yet breaks truth.

151
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:35,446
<i>A gladiator's place
is upon the sands of the arena-</i>

152
00:11:35,529 --> 00:11:38,573
it is the duty of a quaestor
to tend to the Appian Way.

153
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:41,827
Caesar's tongue yet find
purchase in Crassus' ass.

154
00:11:42,536 --> 00:11:44,204
We must endure one to
gain benefit of more-

155
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:45,330
Stop!

156
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:50,043
That mark-

157
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:56,883
this man stood Champion
of the House of Batiatus.

158
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:00,887
Gannicus.

159
00:12:01,513 --> 00:12:04,182
Gannicus!
Gannicus! Gannicus!

160
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:06,643
<i>I had occasion to cross
paths with him once,</i>

161
00:12:07,185 --> 00:12:08,687
after he claimed freedom
in the arena,

162
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:11,481
before he fell among Spartacus
and his rebels.

163
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:14,401
<i>A drunken, disagreeable fellow,</i>

164
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:17,195
much to my liking.

165
00:12:18,363 --> 00:12:21,908
He embraced his fate,
as all men must.

166
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,410
His death a kindness

167
00:12:23,577 --> 00:12:27,038
to one forever haunted
by past transgressions.

168
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:31,751
-See him to fucking wagon.
<i>-Dominus.</i>

169
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:41,887
This man stood
a god of the arena,

170
00:12:42,554 --> 00:12:46,224
his skill rival led only by
the Bringer of Rain himself.

171
00:12:47,642 --> 00:12:49,728
Two legends,
birthed from our Ludus.

172
00:12:50,479 --> 00:12:54,065
Yet we now stand absent even
lowly position in the games.

173
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:57,152
How far this fucking
house has fallen.

174
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:00,697
Come, come.

175
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:18,298
<i>You desecrate these walls?</i>

176
00:13:20,592 --> 00:13:22,761
-I but enhance them.
-Mm.

177
00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:27,015
This beast,

178
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:29,392
he is of your homeland?

179
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,602
Apedemak,

180
00:13:30,936 --> 00:13:33,021
god of war and conquest.

181
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:36,316
You pray to him?

182
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:41,947
-He would not listen.
<i>-Then why work his image?</i>

183
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:44,616
-As a reminder.
-Towards?

184
00:13:45,367 --> 00:13:46,618
What was lost.

185
00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:51,915
Pause labor and take water.

186
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:12,477
-Gratitude.
-None required.

187
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:17,399
<i>Your scars-</i>

188
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,443
<i>how did you come by them?</i>

189
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:24,823
A tale not for one
so soft in form.

190
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,200
In battle?

191
00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:29,317
When captured by the Romans?

192
00:14:29,452 --> 00:14:30,787
I did not fall to
those fucking shits.

193
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,998
Marked by previous Dominus, then?

194
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:34,249
<i>Towards instruction of manners?</i>

195
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:35,875
I have never stood a slave.

196
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:40,088
Yet here in this house,
that is all you stand.

197
00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:45,677
Lay hands upon Dominus again...

198
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:49,723
and I shall see you parted
from fucking life.

199
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:54,811
Little mouse squeaks,
and I'm to shudder in fear?

200
00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,981
Make attempt and see talon
part head from body.

201
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:03,236
A certain end, if I were
to move against you openly.

202
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:07,574
Yet there are many
ways a clever mouse

203
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:10,493
may see vicious hawk to grass.

204
00:15:17,125 --> 00:15:19,711
You taint fucking water?

205
00:15:21,463 --> 00:15:22,631
I have not.

206
00:15:23,548 --> 00:15:26,509
Yet at any moment,
I could snatch breath,

207
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:29,304
<i>absent suspicion.</i>

208
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:37,479
I shall leave you to your god,
who ignores your prayers.

209
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:54,079
Seize fucking mind!

210
00:15:54,746 --> 00:15:56,331
-Doctore!
-Salvius!

211
00:16:00,377 --> 00:16:01,878
Well deserved, you fu-!

212
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:05,965
-Enough!
-Fuck!

213
00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:08,843
You fall to fucking quarrel!

214
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:11,388
Blood boiling in ear,

215
00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:16,142
preventing voice of your Dominus
to pierce thick fucking skull!

216
00:16:19,187 --> 00:16:21,606
Look upon your brothers.

217
00:16:22,023 --> 00:16:23,733
They too defy their master

218
00:16:23,858 --> 00:16:26,986
and now rot upon fucking cross.

219
00:16:29,364 --> 00:16:30,907
Continue to inflame...

220
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:34,661
and see yourself
nailed among them.

221
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:46,589
You lose control.

222
00:16:47,215 --> 00:16:48,717
The sun overheats passions,

223
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:51,428
already roiled by
Achillia's presence.

224
00:16:53,555 --> 00:16:56,099
Fuck Jupiter's face.

225
00:16:57,058 --> 00:17:02,439
It lifts heart, to witness your
men at last put to proper use.

226
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:07,986
I but serve the
republic on this day,

227
00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:10,447
at request of revered Caesar.

228
00:17:10,864 --> 00:17:12,574
Yet upon another,

229
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:14,985
I would present latest
acquisition in the arena

230
00:17:15,452 --> 00:17:19,581
and have contest revisited
towards diminutive abortions.

231
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:24,294
At least we knew
our mother, you fucking cunt!

232
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:33,261
Descend from lofty perch and
broach subject of lineage again.

233
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:39,768
Hold! We are for Pompeii,
where we battle in the arena.

234
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:44,189
<i>Let us leave the
House of Ashur to its labors-</i>

235
00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:46,399
in the dirt.

236
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:47,400
Form!

237
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:51,613
Is it fear

238
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:54,323
that stays hand from rematch
upon next games in Capua?

239
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:57,035
I welcome such entertainment.

240
00:17:57,202 --> 00:17:58,703
-Mm.
<i>-Yet station to decide</i>

241
00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:01,790
who shall fight and who shall
wallow in their own shit

242
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:04,584
falls not to me
but to good Gabinius.

243
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:06,878
Gabinius?

244
00:18:08,171 --> 00:18:11,591
He hosts the game of
the Ludi Apollinares?

245
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:12,801
We are so honored.

246
00:18:13,593 --> 00:18:16,596
Perhaps you may entreat
him towards your cause.

247
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:19,516
Or his beloved wife.

248
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:26,189
♪ Blood rains down
from an angry sky! ♪

249
00:18:26,356 --> 00:18:29,651
♪ My cock rages on!
My cock rages on! ♪

250
00:18:29,818 --> 00:18:32,529
♪ Till death is found,
my sword swinging hot! ♪

251
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:35,698
The gods you do not believe
in shit upon us once more.

252
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:37,617
They but present new obstacle.

253
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,702
Cossutia orchestrated
humiliation

254
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:41,579
and the fall of
our champion, Logas.

255
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:45,041
She will poison husband
towards granting position.

256
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:48,002
-Uvidus may yet hold sway.
-The aedile?

257
00:18:48,169 --> 00:18:52,257
The man fears Crassus and may
provide necessary leverage.

258
00:18:53,258 --> 00:18:55,802
Would not equal trepidation
fall towards Pompey,

259
00:18:55,969 --> 00:18:58,137
whose favor Gabinius holds?

260
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,849
Set purpose towards
Achillia's training.

261
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:04,978
And leave machinations
towards greater fucking minds.

262
00:19:25,081 --> 00:19:26,416
Good.

263
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:33,756
You yet reek of rotting
flesh from Appian Way.

264
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,550
I but smell as a man.

265
00:19:35,967 --> 00:19:37,802
A man of piss and shit.

266
00:19:40,346 --> 00:19:41,514
Doctore!

267
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:45,810
Perhaps the goddess of death
should fall to proper contest.

268
00:19:46,311 --> 00:19:48,229
She would welcome
such a diversion.

269
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:52,025
A sentiment to be regretted.
Take position.

270
00:19:56,571 --> 00:19:58,197
<i>Dacus! Spear!</i>

271
00:20:07,248 --> 00:20:09,709
I shall fuck salted
words from mouth.

272
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,711
Do you borrow cock to do so?

273
00:20:14,422 --> 00:20:15,715
Tarchon...

274
00:20:16,925 --> 00:20:18,343
<i>fall beside Creticus.</i>

275
00:20:19,636 --> 00:20:21,220
I'm to face two opponents?

276
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:22,514
<i>Should the gods favor
you towards the arena,</i>

277
00:20:22,597 --> 00:20:23,932
<i>you shall face three-</i>

278
00:20:24,974 --> 00:20:26,059
the Brothers Ferox.

279
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:31,064
Vicious half-men, pulled
from the ass of a rival lanista.

280
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,649
Half-men?

281
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:34,609
I could piss and they'd thank
the gods for rain.

282
00:20:34,692 --> 00:20:36,986
She does not need sword
and shield, Doctore;

283
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:39,197
she'll cut them down
with fucking tongue.

284
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:42,617
Our honor stands
no fucking jest!

285
00:20:43,493 --> 00:20:45,161
Nor do the Brothers Ferox.

286
00:20:46,454 --> 00:20:48,581
Nature twisted them
into knotted lump.

287
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,124
And in their anger and pain,

288
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:53,419
they torment death
with aggrieved hands.

289
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:57,674
Misjudge them,
and see your life forfeit.

290
00:20:59,801 --> 00:21:01,094
Take position.

291
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:10,937
Begin!

292
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:31,457
Focus on the one opponent and
invite fucking from the other.

293
00:21:32,959 --> 00:21:34,711
Fucking shield again
prevents movement.

294
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:38,047
You face men, shield stands all
between you and the afterlife.

295
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:39,674
<i>Again.</i>

296
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:51,144
Tarchon!

297
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:58,735
Good!

298
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,733
<i>Rid yourself of one adversary</i>

299
00:22:00,862 --> 00:22:03,322
so you may advance upon
other absent distraction.

300
00:22:07,118 --> 00:22:09,557
You have not earned position
in this fucking house.

301
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,458
Aargh!

302
00:22:21,883 --> 00:22:23,134
Disappointing.

303
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:27,513
Eat! We resume training
after heat of midday sun.

304
00:22:33,436 --> 00:22:35,104
She is not absent skill.

305
00:22:35,772 --> 00:22:39,984
She is absent honor,
striking Creticus upon manhood.

306
00:22:40,151 --> 00:22:43,488
An unfortunate blow,
yet the fault is yours.

307
00:22:44,238 --> 00:22:45,656
Mine?

308
00:22:45,823 --> 00:22:48,535
Desire towards singular victory
left valued friend exposed.

309
00:22:48,618 --> 00:22:53,289
Had this been the arena,
both of you would have fallen.

310
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:25,696
That's fucking shit.

311
00:23:31,536 --> 00:23:33,204
Regain seat.

312
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:39,001
I did not spring from your cock,
nor am I bound by fucking voice.

313
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:42,630
The man presents
sharpened point.

314
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:48,010
Your sword will not
find purchase once more.

315
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:51,681
Why, do you never
intend to fight again?

316
00:23:56,269 --> 00:23:58,396
Dogs eat from fucking ground.

317
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:05,945
Creticus!

318
00:24:06,904 --> 00:24:09,907
You do not fight unless it
is upon my fucking command.

319
00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:11,325
Apologies, Doctore.

320
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:14,871
I but remind the woman
of her place.

321
00:24:15,246 --> 00:24:16,914
<i>Return to training.</i>

322
00:24:17,832 --> 00:24:19,167
All of you!

323
00:24:32,889 --> 00:24:36,601
Her presence incites
disobedience and distraction.

324
00:24:36,767 --> 00:24:39,729
They cannot even break food
without falling to quarrel.

325
00:24:39,896 --> 00:24:42,231
You pace like caged beast,

326
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:44,942
rending tranquil mood.

327
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,779
Apologies for disturbing
fucking bath.

328
00:24:48,946 --> 00:24:53,367
Perhaps inflamed passion would
be cooled by soothing waters.

329
00:24:53,534 --> 00:24:55,286
I prefer to bathe in solitude.

330
00:24:55,411 --> 00:24:57,288
Yet you do not fucking stand so.

331
00:24:57,705 --> 00:25:00,291
Wet cock and douse inferno

332
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:01,876
with wine.

333
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:05,713
Fill cup to overflowing.

334
00:25:22,897 --> 00:25:25,441
Does sun break
through fucking cloud?

335
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,403
It makes attempt.

336
00:25:30,821 --> 00:25:32,990
Achillia affords
rarest opportunity.

337
00:25:33,157 --> 00:25:35,868
A sight never before
witnessed in the arena.

338
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:37,286
For good reason.

339
00:25:37,453 --> 00:25:39,330
She does not belong
upon such sacred ground.

340
00:25:39,413 --> 00:25:42,333
Accusation hurled at retiarius
when first introduced.

341
00:25:42,750 --> 00:25:45,586
Net and trident,
how they laughed.

342
00:25:45,753 --> 00:25:48,339
Yet now, not a game passes
absent their presence.

343
00:25:48,506 --> 00:25:51,092
Tradition is but a novel rite,
aged to maturity.

344
00:25:51,259 --> 00:25:53,386
A thing I would see Achillia
become.

345
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,763
She cannot triumph against
the Brothers Ferox.

346
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:57,515
No, she cannot...

347
00:25:58,599 --> 00:25:59,767
yet.

348
00:25:59,934 --> 00:26:01,519
You hold too much faith
in my instruction.

349
00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:03,646
-I hold what is necessary.
-And what of the men?

350
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:06,607
They must embrace the future
or fall to memory.

351
00:26:06,774 --> 00:26:08,735
They will never welcome
a woman as one of their own.

352
00:26:08,818 --> 00:26:13,114
They need not to welcome her,
but they must fucking accept.

353
00:26:15,533 --> 00:26:17,368
Right.

354
00:26:17,952 --> 00:26:19,996
It is a bitter herb
you entreat them swallow.

355
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,372
Then let us see it honeyed
with wine and whores,

356
00:26:22,498 --> 00:26:24,667
to balm injured fucking pride.

357
00:26:25,418 --> 00:26:28,129
Such a gesture would aid in
calming gathering tempest.

358
00:26:28,296 --> 00:26:31,382
With promise of more,
towards falling to reason.

359
00:26:32,675 --> 00:26:36,304
Apologies, Dominus. Senator
Gabinius has sent messenger.

360
00:26:37,722 --> 00:26:39,015
What word did he carry?

361
00:26:39,557 --> 00:26:42,018
He insists message be delivered
only to your hands.

362
00:26:42,768 --> 00:26:45,021
-Materialize the fucking man.
-Yes, Dominus.

363
00:26:45,187 --> 00:26:47,023
The aedile champions
our cause to Gabinius?

364
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:49,734
I have yet opportunity
to broach subject.

365
00:26:59,785 --> 00:27:02,496
-You stand Gabinius' man?
-Such is my charge.

366
00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:03,956
Hand over, then.

367
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:23,392
Um, inform honored senator
what he requests is agreeable.

368
00:27:33,903 --> 00:27:37,281
Gabinius invites me to
break meal at his villa!

369
00:27:37,448 --> 00:27:38,366
To what purpose?

370
00:27:38,949 --> 00:27:42,953
Unknown, yet I shall turn
it to fucking advantage.

371
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:46,207
Dominus has parted from sense.

372
00:27:46,582 --> 00:27:48,250
As Achillia parted
you from yours.

373
00:27:48,417 --> 00:27:50,211
It was but luck.

374
00:27:50,586 --> 00:27:52,781
And trust fucking Nubian
held thread of honor.

375
00:27:53,339 --> 00:27:55,091
You place blame where
it does not sleep.

376
00:27:55,174 --> 00:27:57,134
You place fault in <i>my</i> efforts?

377
00:27:57,718 --> 00:27:58,594
No.

378
00:27:59,470 --> 00:28:03,057
Upon mine. I was absent thought
towards all but victory,

379
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:05,267
leaving you exposed.

380
00:28:05,434 --> 00:28:07,186
I do not need you to come to
aid, you fucking shit.

381
00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:10,398
Your cock says otherwise.

382
00:28:10,564 --> 00:28:13,234
When paired in the arena,
you must fight as one.

383
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,735
Or fall divided.

384
00:28:15,569 --> 00:28:18,656
And when were you last
upon the sands, old man?

385
00:28:21,784 --> 00:28:23,994
A lifetime ago, yet I...

386
00:28:24,787 --> 00:28:25,746
lived.

387
00:28:26,497 --> 00:28:29,375
Which is a victory I fear
you may tumble well short of.

388
00:28:29,542 --> 00:28:31,794
A thing of no pressing concern.

389
00:28:32,586 --> 00:28:34,880
We are the House
of Piss and Shit,

390
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:37,383
denied opportunity
of glorious death.

391
00:28:37,550 --> 00:28:38,884
Yours not so much,

392
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:41,392
assuming opponent stood
greater than small child.

393
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:44,567
Fill air with fucking laughter,

394
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:47,810
as Capua does upon thought
of this fucking house.

395
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:49,770
<i>It is what we make it.</i>

396
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:54,775
See weighted spirits lifted.

397
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,112
Your Dominus presents
gift of wine and whores.

398
00:29:01,115 --> 00:29:04,118
Well, perhaps the gods yet
favor this fucking House!

399
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:05,578
Now remove yourselves

400
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,872
so Achillia may bathe
absent lingering gaze.

401
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,250
Whores!

402
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:12,668
Wine and whores!

403
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:22,470
He preens as if I've never
witnessed cock bared and wet.

404
00:29:22,636 --> 00:29:25,389
Attend yourself and retire
to cell for the night.

405
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,852
Am I not to enjoy the pleasures
of wine and whores?

406
00:29:30,853 --> 00:29:33,064
Such rewards are reserved
for those who bear the mark

407
00:29:33,147 --> 00:29:34,148
of the brotherhood.

408
00:29:34,732 --> 00:29:36,817
<i>An honor you have yet to earn.</i>

409
00:29:49,663 --> 00:29:52,625
-Perhaps this one.
-You possess discerning eye.

410
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,002
As I wish yours
to such this night.

411
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:59,715
I am to Gabinius' villa,
not the arena.

412
00:29:59,882 --> 00:30:01,967
Does Cossutia yet
stand his wife?

413
00:30:02,092 --> 00:30:04,470
As Cerberus guarding
gate of the underworld,

414
00:30:04,637 --> 00:30:06,472
frothing and snapping.

415
00:30:06,639 --> 00:30:08,224
The target of my concern.

416
00:30:08,641 --> 00:30:10,935
She holds no sway,
absent command of husband.

417
00:30:11,393 --> 00:30:14,438
And if she has moved him
to her cause against you?

418
00:30:14,605 --> 00:30:16,482
Cheeks spread for
deeper ramming.

419
00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:20,653
-Then why accept invitation?
-I hold no fucking choice!

420
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:29,119
Calm troubled thoughts
and realize,

421
00:30:29,703 --> 00:30:34,375
all men of power and position
underestimate Ashur at own...

422
00:30:34,792 --> 00:30:36,752
fucking peril.

423
00:30:37,670 --> 00:30:39,463
Prepare yourself for my return.

424
00:30:40,673 --> 00:30:41,757
You as well.

425
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:51,600
You worry over him
beyond reason.

426
00:30:53,102 --> 00:30:54,562
He is our Dominus.

427
00:30:56,105 --> 00:30:58,482
<i>Our fates tethered to his.</i>

428
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:04,738
Yet who worries over you?

429
00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:06,448
Hmm?

430
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,745
Turn mind to task and
see linens freshened,

431
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:14,832
in anticipation of
his triumphant return.

432
00:31:27,261 --> 00:31:30,014
Senator Gabinius
shall join presently.

433
00:31:44,778 --> 00:31:47,031
<i>Ah! Here is our man.</i>

434
00:31:47,698 --> 00:31:49,700
Gratitude for
accepting invitation

435
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:51,118
upon briefest of notice.

436
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:53,203
I am swelled by august request.

437
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:55,748
You are familiar
with cherished wife?

438
00:31:55,873 --> 00:31:57,791
We are so acquainted.

439
00:31:57,958 --> 00:32:00,836
In passing,
in the streets, if I recall.

440
00:32:01,003 --> 00:32:02,338
Apologies for our delay.

441
00:32:02,504 --> 00:32:04,215
This business with the Cilician
pirates

442
00:32:04,298 --> 00:32:06,592
vexes all affected
by their savage attacks.

443
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:09,053
Locusts plaguing
our beloved republic.

444
00:32:09,178 --> 00:32:11,805
I pray harsh retribution awaits.

445
00:32:12,222 --> 00:32:14,183
We are of singular mind.

446
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,644
I draft motion in the Senate...

447
00:32:17,144 --> 00:32:20,564
to see menace quelled by
able hand of trusted Pompey.

448
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:22,232
Pompey?

449
00:32:22,733 --> 00:32:24,443
He takes leave
from Rome with his army?

450
00:32:24,526 --> 00:32:26,987
A small portion,
adequate to task.

451
00:32:27,404 --> 00:32:28,656
The remainder counterbalanced

452
00:32:28,739 --> 00:32:31,408
towards fighting men
loyal to Crassus.

453
00:32:34,036 --> 00:32:36,080
May the gods usher
Pompey to victory,

454
00:32:36,246 --> 00:32:38,916
as Scipio Africanus against
Hannibal at the gates.

455
00:32:39,083 --> 00:32:41,251
You are schooled
in our histories?

456
00:32:41,418 --> 00:32:44,338
I am but babe,
crawling through dewy morn.

457
00:32:44,922 --> 00:32:47,049
Then let us see you rise
upon legs of knowledge,

458
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:50,719
and stride upright as
all men in midday of life.

459
00:32:50,886 --> 00:32:53,639
<i>Hmm. Some yet stumble
upon attempt,</i>

460
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:57,184
skull bashed upon
unforgiving ground.

461
00:32:57,351 --> 00:32:59,186
I shall strive to
remain surefooted.

462
00:32:59,353 --> 00:33:01,230
As most reliable goat.

463
00:33:02,064 --> 00:33:04,400
<i>Let us not veer
towards pointed meaning.</i>

464
00:33:04,566 --> 00:33:07,611
I would have all slights,
genuine or fanciful,

465
00:33:07,778 --> 00:33:10,114
fall to past remembrance.

466
00:33:10,698 --> 00:33:13,575
-Memory has faded to obscurity.
-Never to return.

467
00:33:13,742 --> 00:33:14,993
<i>Apologies.</i>

468
00:33:15,494 --> 00:33:16,912
Voices stirred interest.

469
00:33:17,037 --> 00:33:20,958
Viridia. It swells heart
to see you stir from chambers.

470
00:33:21,083 --> 00:33:22,668
Effort rarely taken these days.

471
00:33:22,835 --> 00:33:25,338
Perhaps you might return after
our esteemed guest has departed.

472
00:33:25,421 --> 00:33:26,839
Is this him?

473
00:33:27,798 --> 00:33:29,049
The Syrian?

474
00:33:29,174 --> 00:33:30,676
You are not properly
dressed to receive-

475
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:32,261
Are these the hands?

476
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:38,642
The ones that saw
Spartacus to deserved end?

477
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:41,645
They, uh...

478
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:47,067
T-they but aided

479
00:33:47,234 --> 00:33:48,485
in the effort.

480
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:49,862
Gratitude.

481
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:53,866
Rome is forever in your debt.

482
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:57,244
-As am I.
-Hour grows late.

483
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:00,373
Retire to bath with loving
mother so I may break words

484
00:34:00,456 --> 00:34:03,709
with honored guest
absent distraction.

485
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:09,131
Come. Let us leave
the men to their folly.

486
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:15,262
Forgive my daughter.
She holds not herself.

487
00:34:16,221 --> 00:34:18,932
What affliction troubles her?

488
00:34:19,099 --> 00:34:22,311
The most grievous,
a wounded heart.

489
00:34:22,478 --> 00:34:24,438
Her husband, much beloved,

490
00:34:25,189 --> 00:34:27,775
fell to Spartacus and his
rebels at Sinuessa en Valle,

491
00:34:27,941 --> 00:34:30,569
where he broached business
with Laurus, the trader.

492
00:34:30,736 --> 00:34:36,241
Such loss sees the strongest of
us absent mind when in its grip.

493
00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:38,243
Well formed.

494
00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:40,329
Yet,

495
00:34:40,496 --> 00:34:42,414
let us turn from shadowed past

496
00:34:42,581 --> 00:34:44,833
in favor of more promising days.

497
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,918
Yes.

498
00:35:10,067 --> 00:35:12,528
You stand well satisfied,
old friend?

499
00:35:12,861 --> 00:35:15,072
Oh, I stand a fucking god.

500
00:35:17,533 --> 00:35:19,535
<i>Do not fucking stop.</i>

501
00:35:29,503 --> 00:35:31,004
Throw dice, Salvius!

502
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:36,635
Bow to the champion
of fucking dice!

503
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:38,345
Yet not a champion of fucking!

504
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:58,490
<i>Then I shall make
you see the prince.</i>

505
00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:08,042
You deprive release
of hardened cock!

506
00:36:08,125 --> 00:36:09,960
Shall deprive you of
fucking teeth as well.

507
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:11,753
-Tarchon.
-The girl is mine.

508
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,256
See humble offering
inserted elsewhere.

509
00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:20,220
I favor more heft to ass anyway.

510
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:27,269
Oh, Hedylus completes chore.
Well, I shall swim upstream.

511
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,451
You would pull me from services
purchased by your Dominus?

512
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:44,870
I would wrest you
from Mars himself.

513
00:36:48,415 --> 00:36:52,669
You warm heart, Elata.
As sun above the earth below.

514
00:36:54,254 --> 00:36:57,466
You flatter,
as all men stiff of cock.

515
00:36:59,009 --> 00:37:02,930
I know that you're forced to lie
with men outside these walls.

516
00:37:03,931 --> 00:37:08,268
Yet within them, I would have no
other hands upon you but mine.

517
00:37:12,022 --> 00:37:14,024
Then lay them upon me.

518
00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:30,684
You were commanded
to remain in your cell.

519
00:38:31,184 --> 00:38:33,020
Slumber eludes with
all the fucking noise

520
00:38:33,103 --> 00:38:34,646
and noise of fucking.

521
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:43,280
What do you see?

522
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:45,032
I do not grasp meaning.

523
00:38:45,115 --> 00:38:46,908
When you strike,
what do you see?

524
00:38:47,993 --> 00:38:49,536
A wooden fucking man.

525
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:55,375
You unleash fury
beyond simple form.

526
00:38:56,209 --> 00:38:59,212
What do you see, in mind's eye?

527
00:39:04,009 --> 00:39:06,011
Those who hold me unworthy.

528
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:07,846
Within this Ludus

529
00:39:08,013 --> 00:39:11,099
or upon the path
that led you to such fate?

530
00:39:21,234 --> 00:39:23,945
You do not partake in the
pleasure of whores denied me?

531
00:39:26,948 --> 00:39:29,868
My taste is of a more
discerning nature.

532
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:33,163
One not sated by men
who accept coin,

533
00:39:33,497 --> 00:39:35,373
in exchange for loving embrace.

534
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:39,377
Hmm. Would that I were
so blessed of choice.

535
00:39:40,879 --> 00:39:41,712
Hmm.

536
00:39:46,218 --> 00:39:47,135
Drink

537
00:39:47,969 --> 00:39:50,430
and dull pain of coming days.

538
00:39:59,022 --> 00:40:02,859
You lower yourself, speaking
to the Syrian as you did.

539
00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:05,403
I but expressed gratitude,
keenly felt.

540
00:40:05,570 --> 00:40:09,116
You made him feel as equal,
deserving of such praise.

541
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:12,577
Does he not, for aiding
in the fall of Spartacus?

542
00:40:13,245 --> 00:40:16,414
He but aided himself and desire
to climb above his station.

543
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:18,292
Should not all men
seek to be so elevated?

544
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:20,127
Yes, if they are
of proper breeding.

545
00:40:20,293 --> 00:40:23,296
You froth as if
personally aggrieved.

546
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,841
The man himself
is of slightest note.

547
00:40:26,007 --> 00:40:27,467
It is what he represents-

548
00:40:27,634 --> 00:40:30,054
those who would pollute pure
waters of the republic,

549
00:40:30,137 --> 00:40:33,181
fancying themselves upon level
with storied name and position.

550
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:36,476
He must be made example,
to be taken as warning

551
00:40:36,643 --> 00:40:38,895
to all those who would
mistake themselves so.

552
00:40:39,521 --> 00:40:41,033
Father appears in disagreement.

553
00:40:41,189 --> 00:40:44,165
Husband will often stray from
reason, if not closely attended.

554
00:40:45,569 --> 00:40:48,822
Would that I yet had one
to give such counsel.

555
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,743
Accept mine...

556
00:40:54,870 --> 00:40:56,246
in his place.

557
00:40:57,330 --> 00:41:00,792
Do not forfeit precious
youth to grieving.

558
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:06,381
-Wound is yet fresh.
-And...

559
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:08,008
will never heal...

560
00:41:08,383 --> 00:41:11,803
unless proper balm is applied.

561
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:16,516
Life does not end when
a husband falls from this world.

562
00:41:16,683 --> 00:41:18,727
Nor heart remained sundered,

563
00:41:18,894 --> 00:41:23,064
when cradled
in hands of loving mother.

564
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,737
<i>Tell me, Syrian,</i>

565
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:32,574
were you and your family
brought to Rome as slaves?

566
00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:35,577
I alone. Mother and
sister fell to disease,

567
00:41:35,744 --> 00:41:39,706
long before I fled Tigranes'
army and found myself, uh...

568
00:41:40,874 --> 00:41:42,584
guest of the republic.

569
00:41:42,751 --> 00:41:44,878
And your father?

570
00:41:45,879 --> 00:41:47,088
I hold no memory of him.

571
00:41:47,505 --> 00:41:50,258
Absence of such robs
a boy of proper direction.

572
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:53,470
You must truly hold
favor of your gods,

573
00:41:53,595 --> 00:41:57,349
to find yourself elevated from
slave to current position

574
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,559
of Dominus of own fucking house.

575
00:41:59,726 --> 00:42:02,103
I am indeed blessed,

576
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,813
yet by labor of own hands

577
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:06,399
and accomplishments
beholden only to them.

578
00:42:06,566 --> 00:42:09,486
You hold no belief in the
divinity guiding mortal man?

579
00:42:10,195 --> 00:42:12,572
My Dominus was known
for oft-repeated refrain,

580
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:14,950
one which I yet admire-

581
00:42:15,116 --> 00:42:16,159
"Fuck the gods."

582
00:42:18,453 --> 00:42:21,122
And to what end did
such sentiment lead?

583
00:42:21,957 --> 00:42:23,291
Most unfortunate one.

584
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:27,045
Well, one man's misfortune often
falls to another's opportunity.

585
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:29,756
How unseemly a role
did <i>your</i> hands play

586
00:42:29,923 --> 00:42:32,133
in manufacturing such?

587
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:33,802
I have done...

588
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:36,179
questionable things...

589
00:42:37,889 --> 00:42:40,225
to arrive where I now sit.

590
00:42:41,268 --> 00:42:43,645
Who of worth can
claim otherwise?

591
00:42:45,438 --> 00:42:46,523
And now?

592
00:42:46,690 --> 00:42:47,816
Upon this day?

593
00:42:47,941 --> 00:42:49,901
-I walk a different path.
-Oh.

594
00:42:50,735 --> 00:42:53,071
So the tiger has
altered stripes?

595
00:42:53,238 --> 00:42:54,948
I am not the man I once was.

596
00:42:55,115 --> 00:42:57,409
Nor the man you
yet desire to be.

597
00:42:57,534 --> 00:43:00,036
You are but faint specter,

598
00:43:00,537 --> 00:43:03,832
caught between two worlds
you do not belong in.

599
00:43:04,833 --> 00:43:08,962
It is a heavy thing, is it not,
to be burdened with dreams

600
00:43:09,129 --> 00:43:11,298
made sudden reality?

601
00:43:14,467 --> 00:43:16,594
I am but a humble servant
of the republic.

602
00:43:16,761 --> 00:43:19,723
Why would you swear
allegiance to a republic

603
00:43:19,889 --> 00:43:21,433
that despises you?

604
00:43:21,558 --> 00:43:24,978
Why lavish tongue upon those who
yet hold you in naked contempt?

605
00:43:25,395 --> 00:43:28,481
You shall never stand equal
in their eyes,

606
00:43:28,648 --> 00:43:33,486
forever condemned to be
but rough-hewn tool to be used

607
00:43:34,154 --> 00:43:37,282
till blade is dulled
by unkind years, then...

608
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:42,037
cast aside.

609
00:43:42,871 --> 00:43:45,081
What worth is a knife...

610
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,046
if it lies absent use?

611
00:43:52,964 --> 00:43:56,634
So, mighty Crassus continues
to sharpen intent, then?

612
00:43:56,801 --> 00:43:58,971
All the way from where
he sits, with his army,

613
00:43:59,054 --> 00:44:00,513
outside the gates of Rome?

614
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:03,558
We are as one, via messenger
upon regular basis.

615
00:44:03,725 --> 00:44:06,895
Only a fool relies upon
the benevolence of the rich.

616
00:44:07,479 --> 00:44:09,856
Their whims counsel but
their own reflection.

617
00:44:11,816 --> 00:44:14,361
Coin afforded by
Crassus admittedly thins

618
00:44:14,527 --> 00:44:16,946
with passing of days,
yet debt mounts-

619
00:44:17,113 --> 00:44:21,284
water, grain, equipment.
My stock drains fortune.

620
00:44:21,868 --> 00:44:23,662
And with it,
hope of grander aspiration

621
00:44:23,745 --> 00:44:26,831
towards the games in the arena.
A subject I would broach-

622
00:44:26,956 --> 00:44:29,709
You refer to your gladiators
as stock?

623
00:44:30,418 --> 00:44:32,379
Do they not carry title of men?

624
00:44:33,338 --> 00:44:34,923
They are but slaves.

625
00:44:35,757 --> 00:44:37,050
As you once stood.

626
00:44:37,801 --> 00:44:39,469
A distant memory.

627
00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:41,971
Yet forgotten by none.

628
00:44:46,059 --> 00:44:47,602
Let eyes fall upon it.

629
00:44:52,399 --> 00:44:53,441
Your brand,

630
00:44:54,275 --> 00:44:56,320
marking you as property
of the House of Batiatus-

631
00:44:56,403 --> 00:44:57,821
I would lay eyes.

632
00:45:14,546 --> 00:45:15,797
<i>Oh.</i>

633
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:17,632
<i>Rumor proves truth.</i>

634
00:45:18,633 --> 00:45:23,596
Crassus growls command, and
loyal cur gnaws its own flesh.

635
00:45:29,102 --> 00:45:32,188
Words fell from
less noble heights.

636
00:45:32,897 --> 00:45:35,150
Gaius Claudius Glaber
gave command,

637
00:45:35,316 --> 00:45:38,445
before he was dispatched from
this world by Spartacus himself,

638
00:45:38,570 --> 00:45:39,612
in the shadow

639
00:45:40,321 --> 00:45:41,531
of Vesuvius.

640
00:45:42,115 --> 00:45:44,909
I had occasion to break meal
with Glaber upon a time.

641
00:45:45,493 --> 00:45:49,038
A most unsettling cast
of eye, absent blink-

642
00:45:49,205 --> 00:45:51,791
as a lizard,
encumbered with human form.

643
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,587
A most uncanny assessment
of the man.

644
00:45:56,379 --> 00:45:58,173
And how gauge you
the measure of the one you see

645
00:45:58,256 --> 00:45:59,716
seated before you?

646
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:02,677
No, come, hold me as friend.

647
00:46:02,802 --> 00:46:07,223
Well, as semblance of such,
as the moment requires.

648
00:46:08,558 --> 00:46:12,395
I see a most noble Roman, well
regarded by deed and tongue-

649
00:46:12,562 --> 00:46:14,439
Flattery is of little worth

650
00:46:14,564 --> 00:46:16,316
to one laden with
coin and privilege!

651
00:46:16,399 --> 00:46:19,194
I would have from you
what others withhold-

652
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:20,904
the fucking truth!

653
00:46:29,996 --> 00:46:32,582
I see a man of fading years...

654
00:46:33,625 --> 00:46:35,088
clinging to what time remains,

655
00:46:35,210 --> 00:46:39,339
in hopes of preserving tradition
of beloved republic.

656
00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:42,092
<i>Yet many within it increasingly</i>

657
00:46:42,175 --> 00:46:44,052
<i>find him more annoyance
than benefit,</i>

658
00:46:44,219 --> 00:46:47,889
<i>save for those of low position
who seek the borrowing of coin.</i>

659
00:46:48,598 --> 00:46:52,894
I see a man possessed
of serpent-tongued wife...

660
00:46:54,062 --> 00:46:57,023
who maneuvers
beyond his interests.

661
00:47:07,325 --> 00:47:09,786
Words well broken.

662
00:47:12,121 --> 00:47:16,793
Now fall from fucking sight
and remain so removed.

663
00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:41,234
Form improves.

664
00:47:42,277 --> 00:47:45,029
Moves from watery shit to firm.

665
00:48:07,468 --> 00:48:09,804
Wooden man poses slight contest.

666
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,891
Perhaps you would care to engage
more fearsome opponent.

667
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:18,479
I prefer larger challenge.

668
00:48:19,981 --> 00:48:21,357
Fuck what you prefer, woman.

669
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:32,827
Stay down, you fucking cunt!

670
00:48:33,703 --> 00:48:34,954
Aargh!

671
00:48:55,642 --> 00:48:57,560
The woman at last
finds her place-

672
00:48:58,227 --> 00:48:59,479
on her back,

673
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:01,314
with legs spread.

674
00:49:08,446 --> 00:49:11,616
Hold her!
You fucking cunt!

675
00:49:17,163 --> 00:49:18,915
Aargh!

676
00:49:32,345 --> 00:49:34,138
Aargh!

677
00:49:34,305 --> 00:49:35,556
Fucking bitch!

678
00:49:35,682 --> 00:49:38,184
Aargh!

679
00:49:41,521 --> 00:49:43,272
Aargh!

680
00:49:43,439 --> 00:49:45,775
Aargh!

681
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:52,573
Aargh!

682
00:50:17,557 --> 00:50:18,891
Medicus!

683
00:50:20,226 --> 00:50:21,641
<i>-Medicus!</i>
-The man, at last,

684
00:50:21,769 --> 00:50:24,731
finds <i>his</i> place-
legs spread, absent cock.

685
00:50:24,897 --> 00:50:28,192
Medicus! Aargh!

686
00:50:28,651 --> 00:50:29,819
Medicus!

687
00:50:34,198 --> 00:50:37,243
<i>Ephesius? Why is he
so stained with blood?</i>

688
00:50:37,952 --> 00:50:39,787
Give way! Give...

689
00:50:39,954 --> 00:50:41,581
fucking... way!

690
00:50:48,254 --> 00:50:49,547
Life has fled.

691
00:50:50,548 --> 00:50:52,842
A blessing for one
so rudely handled.

692
00:50:54,010 --> 00:50:56,137
<i>What has fucking happened?</i>

693
00:50:57,138 --> 00:50:58,222
<i>The woman!</i>

694
00:50:58,848 --> 00:51:00,099
She went mad!

695
00:51:00,266 --> 00:51:01,339
He breaks false words.

696
00:51:01,476 --> 00:51:02,519
I was but working pal us,
when they-

697
00:51:02,602 --> 00:51:04,645
I give no shit what they did.

698
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,775
Only the Dominus of the house
can claim life of one who stands

699
00:51:08,941 --> 00:51:10,485
among the brotherhood.

700
00:51:10,610 --> 00:51:12,320
Any man who lays hands upon
me shall fall the same fate,

701
00:51:12,403 --> 00:51:13,769
regardless of fucking brand.

702
00:51:13,863 --> 00:51:16,282
-She does not belong here!
-Do not speak!

703
00:51:18,159 --> 00:51:19,911
You believe you
hold place among us?

704
00:51:20,453 --> 00:51:22,663
I did not ask to be
in this fucking house,

705
00:51:22,830 --> 00:51:24,957
Yet I stand equal
as any man within it.

706
00:51:25,124 --> 00:51:26,209
Then give proof.

707
00:51:26,626 --> 00:51:28,377
Dacus! Steel.

708
00:51:31,214 --> 00:51:33,424
We must stop this.
I will alert villa guards.

709
00:51:33,549 --> 00:51:34,634
Hold.

710
00:51:34,759 --> 00:51:36,427
She makes bold claim.

711
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:39,263
Let us see it defended.

712
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:46,229
Doctore, should this matter
not be attended by Dominus?

713
00:51:46,395 --> 00:51:47,897
Fall from fucking side.

714
00:51:50,483 --> 00:51:51,984
-Korris.
-Hold ground.

715
00:51:52,151 --> 00:51:55,530
Or Dominus will hear you took
wine and fell from fucking post.

716
00:52:04,163 --> 00:52:07,416
Retrieve the shield
and take position.

717
00:52:14,674 --> 00:52:16,843
You stand for
a man absent honor?

718
00:52:17,301 --> 00:52:18,761
I stand for the brotherhood.

719
00:52:19,554 --> 00:52:22,056
Then thank the gods
I am not a part of it.

720
00:52:39,532 --> 00:52:42,660
<i>Make her suffer the point!</i>

721
00:52:43,619 --> 00:52:47,748
<i>Fight her now!</i>

722
00:52:49,834 --> 00:52:51,836
<i>Retreat as a coward would.
Coward!</i>

723
00:52:53,546 --> 00:52:56,424
For the brotherhood!

724
00:52:57,842 --> 00:53:01,178
You have learned nothing!

725
00:53:01,345 --> 00:53:03,556
Except how to die absent honor.

726
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:07,727
Doctore, kill her!

727
00:53:07,894 --> 00:53:09,478
Fire will not aid you!

728
00:53:23,117 --> 00:53:24,911
Aargh!

729
00:53:28,331 --> 00:53:29,624
Die!

730
00:53:35,046 --> 00:53:36,088
Yes!

731
00:53:36,255 --> 00:53:37,865
Send her to the fuck in
afterlife.

732
00:53:45,056 --> 00:53:47,099
<i>Increase advantage, Doctore!</i>

733
00:53:55,942 --> 00:53:57,109
<i>Finish her.</i>

734
00:53:57,944 --> 00:53:59,403
For our brother!

735
00:54:06,827 --> 00:54:08,579
<i>Fucking kill her!</i>

736
00:54:10,289 --> 00:54:14,043
You fought well, yet fall
short of the brotherhood.

737
00:54:38,359 --> 00:54:39,902
I stand mistaken.

738
00:54:56,168 --> 00:54:58,754
She took the life of a brother,
yet you let her live?

739
00:54:58,879 --> 00:55:00,548
I am the champion of Akragas.

740
00:55:01,007 --> 00:55:04,218
Freedom won upon the sand,
by my own fucking will.

741
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,346
And yet this woman,
absent experience,

742
00:55:07,513 --> 00:55:10,558
<i>has achieved what none
among you could dare dream of-</i>

743
00:55:11,017 --> 00:55:12,268
she drew blood

744
00:55:13,185 --> 00:55:16,689
against opponent far outmatching
her in skill and experience.

745
00:55:17,523 --> 00:55:19,275
She has earned my respect...

746
00:55:20,609 --> 00:55:22,069
if but for fleeting moment.

747
00:55:22,653 --> 00:55:26,282
And any man who lays
undesired hand upon her...

748
00:55:26,949 --> 00:55:28,576
shall feel my own...

749
00:55:28,743 --> 00:55:30,536
at fucking throat.
