Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,715 --> 00:00:02,580
...but you do nothing.
2
00:00:02,984 --> 00:00:06,351
Three months you've been in Babylon
and leave me in Pella...
3
00:00:06,521 --> 00:00:10,355
...at the mercy of your enemies,
of which you have many.
4
00:00:10,525 --> 00:00:14,222
Antipater, accustomed now to the power
that you have given him.
5
00:00:14,463 --> 00:00:16,988
i must watch him grow stronger.
6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,199
i'm certain that he communicates secretlywith Parmenion, who is dangerous.
7
00:00:29,377 --> 00:00:32,403
But beware, most of all,
of those closest to you.
8
00:00:32,848 --> 00:00:34,076
They are like snakes...
9
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:36,549
...and can be turned.
10
00:00:36,718 --> 00:00:38,345
General Crateros.
11
00:00:41,323 --> 00:00:44,952
Cassander is Antipater's son.
12
00:00:45,961 --> 00:00:49,727
Even Cleitus, your father's favorite...
13
00:00:49,898 --> 00:00:52,366
...and Ptolemy, your friend, yes.
14
00:00:52,534 --> 00:00:54,764
But beware of men who think too much.
15
00:00:55,136 --> 00:00:57,263
They blind themselves.
16
00:01:00,942 --> 00:01:03,240
Only Hephaistion do i leave out.
17
00:01:04,346 --> 00:01:06,906
But all of them you make rich...
18
00:01:07,082 --> 00:01:12,952
...while your mother and yourself,you leave in generous poverty.
19
00:01:13,755 --> 00:01:16,781
Why won't you ever believe me?
20
00:01:16,958 --> 00:01:22,624
it is only a dark mind like minethat can know these secrets of the heart.
21
00:01:22,797 --> 00:01:25,595
For they are dark, Alexander.
22
00:01:25,834 --> 00:01:28,200
So dark.
23
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:31,897
But in you, the son of Zeus...
24
00:01:32,073 --> 00:01:34,940
...lies the light of the world.
25
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:39,137
Your companions will be shadows
in the underworld...
26
00:01:39,314 --> 00:01:43,648
...when you are a name living forever
in history as the most glorious...
27
00:01:43,818 --> 00:01:48,255
...shining light of youth, forever young,
forever inspiring.
28
00:01:48,423 --> 00:01:51,950
Never will there be an Alexander like you.
29
00:01:52,127 --> 00:01:54,891
Alexander the Great.
30
00:01:55,897 --> 00:01:59,424
Remember, bring me to Babylonas you promised.
31
00:01:59,601 --> 00:02:02,832
i can only help you, for they knowif they harm you...
32
00:02:03,004 --> 00:02:06,098
...they will face my wrath,
as Queen of Babylon.
33
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:12,373
lt's a high ransom she charges
for nine months' lodging in the womb.
34
00:02:12,547 --> 00:02:14,538
Bring her, Alexander.
35
00:02:14,716 --> 00:02:17,685
-lt'll give her such joy.
-Joy?
36
00:02:18,587 --> 00:02:21,852
When l'm the cracked mirror
of her dreams?
37
00:02:24,326 --> 00:02:27,022
Stay with me tonight, Hephaistion.
38
00:02:33,568 --> 00:02:35,365
l'll take my own bath.
39
00:02:36,471 --> 00:02:37,961
Thank you, Bagoas.
40
00:02:46,314 --> 00:02:47,645
What bothers you?
41
00:02:49,651 --> 00:02:52,415
l see in her everything l fear.
42
00:02:54,022 --> 00:02:59,085
Yet l have no idea what it is, this fear.
43
00:03:03,798 --> 00:03:07,393
She was always so sure
l was born of Zeus.
44
00:03:07,936 --> 00:03:10,029
Why, Hephaistion?
45
00:03:11,706 --> 00:03:16,700
l think there are things
beyond our imagining...
46
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:22,507
...like the lightning,
tales of strange conceptions.
47
00:03:23,818 --> 00:03:25,911
l don't doubt it.
48
00:03:26,187 --> 00:03:28,417
What is being told me?
49
00:03:28,857 --> 00:03:32,486
What destiny do we--? Do l have?
50
00:03:34,529 --> 00:03:39,626
Well, if l'm Patroclus, l die first.
51
00:03:39,901 --> 00:03:41,835
Then you, Achilles.
52
00:03:48,610 --> 00:03:51,443
The generals are upset.
53
00:03:52,681 --> 00:03:56,014
They question your obsession
with Darius.
54
00:03:56,184 --> 00:03:59,347
They say it was never meant
for you to be king of Asia.
55
00:03:59,521 --> 00:04:01,045
Naturally.
56
00:04:01,222 --> 00:04:05,556
They want only to return to their homes,
rich with gold. But l've seen the future.
57
00:04:05,727 --> 00:04:09,026
l've seen it now 1 000 times,
on 1 000 faces.
58
00:04:09,197 --> 00:04:11,324
These people want....
59
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,364
Need change.
60
00:04:15,236 --> 00:04:19,730
-Aristotle was wrong about them.
-How so?
61
00:04:20,041 --> 00:04:22,032
Look at those we've conquered.
62
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:24,303
They leave their dead unburied.
63
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:27,175
They smash their enemies' skulls
and drink them as dust.
64
00:04:27,348 --> 00:04:29,612
They mate in public.
65
00:04:29,784 --> 00:04:34,653
What can they think or sing or write
when none can read?
66
00:04:34,823 --> 00:04:39,453
But as Alexander's army, they can go
where they never thought possible.
67
00:04:39,627 --> 00:04:42,687
They can soldier or work in the cities.
68
00:04:42,864 --> 00:04:47,062
The Alexandrias,
from Egypt to the outer ocean.
69
00:04:47,569 --> 00:04:50,504
We could connect these lands,
Hephaistion...
70
00:04:50,672 --> 00:04:51,866
...and the people.
71
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,501
Some say these Alexandrias have become
extensions of Alexander himself.
72
00:04:58,413 --> 00:05:01,541
They draw people into the cities
to make slaves of them.
73
00:05:01,716 --> 00:05:06,085
But we freed them, Hephaistion, from
the Persia where everyone lived as slaves.
74
00:05:08,022 --> 00:05:11,253
To free the people of the world...
75
00:05:11,426 --> 00:05:16,022
...such would be beyond the glory
of Achilles, beyond Herakles...
76
00:05:16,197 --> 00:05:18,825
...a feat to rival Prometheus...
77
00:05:19,634 --> 00:05:22,296
...who was always a friend to man.
78
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:24,836
Remember the fates of these heroes.
79
00:05:25,006 --> 00:05:29,204
-They suffered greatly.
-We all suffer.
80
00:05:29,644 --> 00:05:33,205
Your father, mine.
81
00:05:34,015 --> 00:05:36,074
They all came to the end of their time.
82
00:05:36,251 --> 00:05:40,312
And in the end, when it's over,
all that matters is what you've done.
83
00:05:41,623 --> 00:05:46,424
You once said,
''The fear of death drives all men.''
84
00:05:46,761 --> 00:05:48,695
Are there no other forces?
85
00:05:49,831 --> 00:05:52,698
ls there not love in your life...
86
00:05:54,135 --> 00:05:56,126
...Alexander?
87
00:05:59,874 --> 00:06:04,334
What would you do if you
ever reached the end of the world?
88
00:06:06,247 --> 00:06:09,410
l'd turn back and conquer its opposite.
89
00:06:14,422 --> 00:06:19,621
l wonder sometimes if it's not
your mother you run from.
90
00:06:20,929 --> 00:06:24,365
So many years,
so many miles between you.
91
00:06:26,501 --> 00:06:28,492
What is it you fear?
92
00:06:29,938 --> 00:06:32,270
Who knows these things?
93
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:38,972
When l was a child, my mother thought
me divine. My father, weak.
94
00:06:41,549 --> 00:06:44,143
Which am l, Hephaistion?
95
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,446
Weak or divine?
96
00:06:49,958 --> 00:06:51,858
All l know is...
97
00:06:52,026 --> 00:06:54,995
...l trust only you in this world.
98
00:06:55,163 --> 00:06:57,131
l've missed you.
99
00:06:57,899 --> 00:06:59,230
l need you.
100
00:07:01,302 --> 00:07:02,963
lt is you l love, Hephaistion.
101
00:07:05,340 --> 00:07:07,501
No other.
102
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,180
You're everything l care for...
103
00:07:14,349 --> 00:07:18,012
...and by the sweet breath of Aphrodite...
104
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,613
...l'm so jealous of losing you
to this world you want.
105
00:07:22,123 --> 00:07:24,751
You'll never lose me, Hephaistion.
106
00:07:25,159 --> 00:07:28,424
l'll be with you always.
107
00:07:29,097 --> 00:07:31,156
Till the end.
108
00:07:44,412 --> 00:07:47,040
The campaign in the northeast of Persia...
109
00:07:47,215 --> 00:07:52,312
...turned into a hard guerrilla warof almost three years.
110
00:07:54,923 --> 00:07:57,585
We chased Darius towards Bactria...
111
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,557
...but missed taking him by hours.
112
00:08:03,798 --> 00:08:06,164
He was dying when we found him, sire.
113
00:08:06,334 --> 00:08:08,234
He asked for water.
114
00:08:08,403 --> 00:08:10,769
He drank and died.
115
00:08:17,445 --> 00:08:22,144
The Great King Darius had been betrayedby his own commanders.
116
00:08:50,278 --> 00:08:52,246
Fully honoring his corpse...
117
00:08:52,413 --> 00:08:57,316
...Alexander hunted downthese commanders into unknown lands...
118
00:08:58,286 --> 00:09:03,121
...crossing even beyondthe River Oxus into Sogdia.
119
00:09:07,295 --> 00:09:11,391
We fought them as far asthe unknown steppes of Scythia...
120
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,699
...where only legendary heroeshad once trod.
121
00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:21,206
The surveyors told us we were now onthe borders of where Europe and Asia meet.
122
00:09:21,376 --> 00:09:24,641
in fact, we were totally lost.
123
00:09:26,147 --> 00:09:29,139
Here, Alexander foundedhis 1 0th Alexandria...
124
00:09:29,317 --> 00:09:34,584
...and settled it with veterans, their womenand any who would dare the frontier life.
125
00:09:35,623 --> 00:09:38,615
Unable to accept defeat in any form...
126
00:09:38,793 --> 00:09:43,127
...Alexander persisted in breakingevery tribe that resisted...
127
00:09:43,464 --> 00:09:47,264
...until the day he received the headof his last enemy who'd surrendered.
128
00:09:52,173 --> 00:09:56,803
For Alexander, there could beno pretender to the throne of Asia...
129
00:09:57,912 --> 00:10:02,315
...which now included allof Sogdia and Bactria.
130
00:10:05,386 --> 00:10:09,618
it was here that he madeone of his most mysterious decisions.
131
00:10:12,593 --> 00:10:16,962
Ten years after his mother's insistencehe marry a Macedonian...
132
00:10:17,131 --> 00:10:19,122
Through our union...
133
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:22,167
...Greek and barbarian...
134
00:10:22,336 --> 00:10:24,270
...may be reconciled in peace.
135
00:10:24,505 --> 00:10:30,137
...the most powerful man in the worldtook a girl of no political significance.
136
00:10:35,183 --> 00:10:36,741
Why?
137
00:10:37,885 --> 00:10:41,286
Some say it was foralliance with the tribes.
138
00:10:43,091 --> 00:10:45,355
Others, the desire for a successor.
139
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:52,892
And yet others saidAlexander truly fell in love.
140
00:10:54,135 --> 00:10:56,000
Who Roxane really was...
141
00:10:56,170 --> 00:11:01,972
...i doubt that any of us ever saw furtherthan the pools of those black eyes.
142
00:11:03,611 --> 00:11:06,307
On this glorious occasion...
143
00:11:07,949 --> 00:11:10,816
...l toast this great army
that has given so much.
144
00:11:10,985 --> 00:11:15,081
And in honor of them, those of you
who set out with us seven long years ago...
145
00:11:15,256 --> 00:11:21,491
...l pronounce all your debts paid forthwith
from the royal treasury.
146
00:11:21,863 --> 00:11:23,125
Praise Alexander!
147
00:11:27,201 --> 00:11:29,294
And in honor of my bride...
148
00:11:32,874 --> 00:11:35,365
...my beautiful bride...
149
00:11:35,543 --> 00:11:40,071
...we recognize the many women
who've shared the long road with us...
150
00:11:40,248 --> 00:11:43,740
...and grant them dowries
befitting a proper marriage.
151
00:11:52,393 --> 00:11:55,191
And what about our boys?
152
00:11:55,363 --> 00:11:56,853
And lastly...
153
00:11:57,031 --> 00:12:00,296
...lastly, the gods demand no less of us...
154
00:12:00,468 --> 00:12:03,801
...that your children be given
a proper Greek education...
155
00:12:03,971 --> 00:12:08,567
...and military training
under our protection...
156
00:12:08,743 --> 00:12:12,975
...so as to be the new soldiers
of our kingdom...
157
00:12:13,147 --> 00:12:15,615
...in Asia.
158
00:12:31,465 --> 00:12:36,926
Your father must be turning in his grave.
After all this time, a hill chief's daughter.
159
00:12:37,205 --> 00:12:39,002
You call this
tribal wedding legitimate?
160
00:12:39,173 --> 00:12:41,937
Do you forget my father
took a barbarian as his queen?
161
00:12:42,109 --> 00:12:44,976
Yes, but few would call it
a profoundly happy marriage.
162
00:12:46,214 --> 00:12:49,377
But what's the point, Alexander?
She's your captive.
163
00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:51,415
Just take her as your concubine.
164
00:12:51,586 --> 00:12:54,419
Because l want a son.
Damn you, Philotas.
165
00:12:54,956 --> 00:13:00,394
Then half your nobles have sisters
who'd make fine Macedonian mothers.
166
00:13:00,561 --> 00:13:03,291
To take an Asian as my queen,
not a captive...
167
00:13:03,464 --> 00:13:05,329
...is a sign of respect
for our subjects.
168
00:13:05,533 --> 00:13:07,831
lt will bring us together, unify us.
169
00:13:08,369 --> 00:13:10,462
Which is not to say l won't take
a Macedonian.
170
00:13:10,638 --> 00:13:13,937
As a second wife? You insult Macedonia.
171
00:13:14,709 --> 00:13:18,668
Never will our people
accept this girl's son as king.
172
00:13:19,013 --> 00:13:23,177
They'll be angry enough to find out their
husbands all have second wives in Barbaria.
173
00:13:23,351 --> 00:13:24,648
Then they'll learn!
174
00:13:24,819 --> 00:13:28,084
By Athena's justice, this girl has spirit.
175
00:13:28,256 --> 00:13:30,520
She'll breed a brave son.
176
00:13:30,691 --> 00:13:32,454
Alexander!
177
00:13:33,027 --> 00:13:35,689
This is about the honor of our kingdom.
178
00:13:35,863 --> 00:13:37,990
Exactly. What can be won, Alexander?
179
00:13:38,165 --> 00:13:41,692
We're in Asia to punish them
for their crimes. We've achieved that.
180
00:13:41,869 --> 00:13:45,464
Seven years from home, now we drift
from one far region to another...
181
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,269
...chasing nomads and bandits
when Macedonia bleeds its manpower.
182
00:13:49,443 --> 00:13:52,378
For what? To build roads in Asia?
183
00:13:52,546 --> 00:13:56,004
-To give these people cities?
-And now make an army of them?
184
00:13:56,183 --> 00:13:59,550
To found cities and expand
our reach is not to drift.
185
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,120
-What benefit to Macedon?
-lt's far richer!
186
00:14:02,290 --> 00:14:04,520
-Look what you give them.
-With respect...
187
00:14:04,692 --> 00:14:08,389
...had you fought better at Gaugamela
when your flank was crumbling--
188
00:14:08,562 --> 00:14:11,895
-How dare you, Nearchus?!
-General Nearchus to you, boy.
189
00:14:12,066 --> 00:14:15,558
Alexander spread our flank too thin!
There was nothing my father...
190
00:14:15,736 --> 00:14:18,068
-...or any of you could've done!
-Philotas!
191
00:14:24,045 --> 00:14:26,673
Alexander, l've known you
since you were born.
192
00:14:27,348 --> 00:14:30,340
l supported you at your father's death.
193
00:14:30,518 --> 00:14:33,385
At the very least, for Zeus' sake...
194
00:14:33,554 --> 00:14:36,523
...and in respect to the council
that chose you king...
195
00:14:36,691 --> 00:14:38,818
...give us a Macedonian heir.
196
00:14:38,993 --> 00:14:40,688
A Macedonian heir.
197
00:14:47,034 --> 00:14:49,059
-You've been heard clearly.
-But--
198
00:14:49,236 --> 00:14:54,799
Parmenion! After the wedding, take two
brigades to Babylon, where l look to you...
199
00:14:54,975 --> 00:14:59,810
...and Antipater in Greece, to maintain
our empire and supply this expedition.
200
00:15:00,581 --> 00:15:02,674
l'll winter with my army at Marakand.
201
00:15:02,850 --> 00:15:06,911
l pray to Apollo you realize how far
you've turned from your father's path.
202
00:15:07,088 --> 00:15:09,784
Damn you, Parmenion,
by the gods and your Apollo.
203
00:15:09,957 --> 00:15:13,085
What was in my father's guts
wasn't overripe in reason like yours!
204
00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:17,219
He never lusted for war, Alexander,
or enjoyed it so.
205
00:15:17,398 --> 00:15:22,665
He consulted his peers in council,
among equals, the Macedonian way.
206
00:15:22,837 --> 00:15:25,362
He didn't decide based
on his personal desires.
207
00:15:25,539 --> 00:15:28,940
l've taken us further
than my father ever dreamed.
208
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:30,407
Old man...
209
00:15:30,578 --> 00:15:32,978
...we're in new worlds.
210
00:15:33,948 --> 00:15:37,645
Alexander, be reasonable!
211
00:15:37,818 --> 00:15:40,218
Were they ever meant to be our equals?
212
00:15:40,521 --> 00:15:42,250
Share our rewards?
213
00:15:42,423 --> 00:15:44,550
You remember what Aristotle said.
214
00:15:44,725 --> 00:15:46,056
An Asian?
215
00:15:46,227 --> 00:15:50,027
What would a vow mean to a race
that's never kept their word to a Greek?
216
00:15:50,197 --> 00:15:52,256
-Aristotle be damned!
-Alexander!
217
00:15:52,433 --> 00:15:53,923
By Zeus and all the gods...
218
00:15:54,101 --> 00:15:58,231
...what makes you so much better
than them, Cassander?
219
00:15:58,406 --> 00:16:02,934
Better than you really are.
ln you and those like you is this.
220
00:16:04,245 --> 00:16:06,076
Alexander.
221
00:16:08,749 --> 00:16:13,448
What disturbs me most is not your lack
of respect for my judgment.
222
00:16:16,524 --> 00:16:20,255
lt's your contempt for a world
far older than ours.
223
00:16:52,893 --> 00:16:55,521
Five to any man
who bothers to kill me.
224
00:16:55,696 --> 00:16:58,096
Have another drink, Cleitus.
225
00:16:58,732 --> 00:17:01,860
-Shouldn't you be bound to a king?
-Cleitus.
226
00:17:02,536 --> 00:17:06,802
Alexander, you look weak
when you not accept these honors.
227
00:17:06,974 --> 00:17:09,067
l understand, my dear father...
228
00:17:09,243 --> 00:17:12,940
-...but it's against Greek ways.
-Then Greek ways are weak.
229
00:17:13,113 --> 00:17:15,775
l still think she got the better of him
in this bargain.
230
00:17:15,950 --> 00:17:19,147
My daughter, Roxane...
231
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,413
...she shall make you good wife.
232
00:17:21,589 --> 00:17:23,955
She shall kill for you.
233
00:17:28,128 --> 00:17:33,498
Raw skunk, ruler of heaven...
234
00:17:35,102 --> 00:17:36,729
...and earth.
235
00:17:42,676 --> 00:17:46,043
ln honor of this great alliance...
236
00:17:46,213 --> 00:17:51,480
...l, Oxyartes, offer you these great gifts.
237
00:17:51,652 --> 00:17:54,553
l would like to honor a toast
to you from my people.
238
00:18:00,594 --> 00:18:02,152
Good morning, sire.
239
00:18:22,716 --> 00:18:24,946
We shall fight for you, Alexander.
240
00:18:25,819 --> 00:18:27,946
lt shall be bloody.
241
00:18:29,823 --> 00:18:31,723
Who's the bear?
242
00:18:33,394 --> 00:18:35,089
Parmenion.
243
00:18:35,596 --> 00:18:38,463
You've been in complete control
of your supply lines.
244
00:18:38,632 --> 00:18:40,930
His pessimism is infectious.
245
00:18:41,368 --> 00:18:43,336
But he'll stay loyal...
246
00:18:45,072 --> 00:18:47,302
...as long as his son remains with us.
247
00:21:04,078 --> 00:21:05,375
Hey!
248
00:21:13,253 --> 00:21:17,553
Her eyes tell me
she cares for you, Alexander.
249
00:21:19,793 --> 00:21:21,158
Perhaps too much.
250
00:21:25,466 --> 00:21:27,832
ln the ways of my country...
251
00:21:28,202 --> 00:21:31,968
...those who love too much
lose everything...
252
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,838
...and those who love with irony...
253
00:21:37,377 --> 00:21:38,503
...last.
254
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:31,297
l found it in Egypt.
255
00:22:33,967 --> 00:22:36,401
The man who sold it said it came
from a time...
256
00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:40,438
...when man worshipped sun and stars.
257
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,544
l'll always think of you...
258
00:22:49,316 --> 00:22:51,648
...as the sun, Alexander.
259
00:22:51,819 --> 00:22:55,846
And l pray your dream
will shine on all men.
260
00:23:04,798 --> 00:23:06,925
l wish you a son.
261
00:23:08,735 --> 00:23:11,135
You're a great man.
262
00:23:15,242 --> 00:23:18,507
Many will love you, Alexander,
but none so pure and deep....
263
00:23:35,395 --> 00:23:36,828
You...
264
00:23:36,997 --> 00:23:38,464
...love him?
265
00:23:47,574 --> 00:23:50,600
He is Hephaistion.
266
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:12,130
Thank you, Bagoas.
267
00:24:17,971 --> 00:24:19,666
Your boy?
268
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,332
There are many different ways
to love, Roxane.
269
00:24:23,877 --> 00:24:25,367
Come.
270
00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:41,722
No.
271
00:24:41,895 --> 00:24:43,294
No, no.
272
00:24:59,179 --> 00:25:01,044
No. No.
273
00:25:33,613 --> 00:25:35,581
You have no fear.
274
00:25:37,217 --> 00:25:39,014
lt's fitting.
275
00:25:40,287 --> 00:25:43,723
A man searches for a woman
at Earth's top...
276
00:25:43,890 --> 00:25:45,915
...and finds her.
277
00:26:03,276 --> 00:26:04,903
The myth becomes real.
278
00:26:16,156 --> 00:26:20,058
Great man, Sikander...
279
00:26:20,394 --> 00:26:21,861
...you l kill now.
280
00:26:27,601 --> 00:26:29,091
Do it.
281
00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:32,194
End it. l would do the--
282
00:26:32,806 --> 00:26:36,833
l would do the same.
l'll die a fool...
283
00:26:37,010 --> 00:26:40,446
...for this love.
284
00:27:27,861 --> 00:27:29,761
My life is now yours.
285
00:27:54,588 --> 00:27:57,819
You will have my son.
286
00:28:52,879 --> 00:28:59,409
Who is this woman you call your queen,Alexander? A hill girl?
287
00:29:00,287 --> 00:29:02,721
You with your breeding.
288
00:29:02,889 --> 00:29:07,917
Already she makes enemies
with her strong, clumsy nature.
289
00:29:11,264 --> 00:29:13,630
Do not confuse us.
290
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,566
l was never a barbarian as Philip said.
291
00:29:17,737 --> 00:29:20,399
We are of Achilles' royal blood.
292
00:29:21,341 --> 00:29:24,367
Zeus is your father.
293
00:29:25,979 --> 00:29:30,382
Oh, l understand she brings
you some happiness...
294
00:29:31,117 --> 00:29:33,483
...but how can she help you?
295
00:29:33,653 --> 00:29:36,622
You must know that
she does not speak in your name...
296
00:29:36,790 --> 00:29:40,817
...which is yours and yours alone.
297
00:29:40,994 --> 00:29:44,020
Preserve it, secret it...
298
00:29:44,197 --> 00:29:47,325
...and hear me when l tell you,
act...
299
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:49,400
...and act soon.
300
00:29:49,569 --> 00:29:51,560
After seven years, people wonder:
301
00:29:51,738 --> 00:29:54,036
''Who is this King Alexander?''
302
00:29:54,207 --> 00:30:00,009
l have given you ample proof.
Antipater daily undermines your authority.
303
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:03,172
Return to Babylon
and strengthen your center.
304
00:30:04,084 --> 00:30:06,143
Or come home to Macedoniaand reorganize.
305
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:08,913
But do not chase your dream...
306
00:30:09,089 --> 00:30:11,148
...further east.
307
00:30:11,324 --> 00:30:15,124
Your life and mine depend on it.
308
00:30:15,996 --> 00:30:17,691
Remember...
309
00:30:17,864 --> 00:30:21,561
...my only thoughts are of you.
310
00:30:21,735 --> 00:30:26,035
As you, too, must face
your glorious destiny.
311
00:30:26,206 --> 00:30:28,299
Think kindly of your mother.
312
00:30:28,475 --> 00:30:30,033
Provide for me.
313
00:30:30,210 --> 00:30:33,805
Protect me from your enemieswhen you are gone.
314
00:30:35,148 --> 00:30:37,912
And remember always...
315
00:30:38,084 --> 00:30:41,520
...it is l who love you more than any.
316
00:30:47,794 --> 00:30:51,127
lf only you were not a pale reflection...
317
00:30:51,298 --> 00:30:52,731
...of my mother's heart.
318
00:31:12,752 --> 00:31:16,244
Pregnant so soon. The little whore.
319
00:31:16,423 --> 00:31:20,553
He will marry her in the spring,
during Dionysus' Festival...
320
00:31:20,727 --> 00:31:23,355
...and when her first son is born...
321
00:31:23,530 --> 00:31:29,025
...her sweet uncle Attalus will convince
Philip to name the boy his successor...
322
00:31:29,202 --> 00:31:31,636
...with himself as regent.
323
00:31:31,805 --> 00:31:33,773
And you...
324
00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:38,001
...you will be sent on
some impossible mission...
325
00:31:38,178 --> 00:31:40,772
...against some monstrous Northern tribe...
326
00:31:40,947 --> 00:31:46,408
...to be mutilated in one more
meaningless battle over cattle.
327
00:31:46,586 --> 00:31:50,454
And l, no longer queen,
will be put to death...
328
00:31:50,623 --> 00:31:54,684
...with your sister and the remaining
members of our family.
329
00:31:54,861 --> 00:31:59,628
l wish sometimes you could see
the light, Mother.
330
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:04,532
The truth is, he's taken nothing from you
that you've not been long without.
331
00:32:06,072 --> 00:32:08,472
The only way is to strike.
332
00:32:08,641 --> 00:32:11,405
Announce your marriage
to a Macedonian now.
333
00:32:11,945 --> 00:32:16,245
Beget a child of pure blood. He would
be one of them, not mine...
334
00:32:16,416 --> 00:32:19,749
...and he would have no choice
but to make you king.
335
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:22,114
There is still Kynnane.
336
00:32:23,890 --> 00:32:27,758
Eurydice was perfect. lf your father,
that pig, had not ravaged her first!
337
00:32:27,927 --> 00:32:30,725
Say nothing more of my father.
338
00:32:30,897 --> 00:32:33,889
Do you hear me? Say nothing.
339
00:32:34,801 --> 00:32:36,496
You're right.
340
00:32:37,470 --> 00:32:39,563
Forgive me.
341
00:32:39,739 --> 00:32:42,572
A mother loves too much.
342
00:32:48,782 --> 00:32:51,410
Who shall l sing to sleep
at night anymore?
343
00:32:56,556 --> 00:33:01,516
l wish-- l wish we could spend
more time together.
344
00:33:02,262 --> 00:33:06,722
Like we used to, when you were
the sweetest boy.
345
00:33:12,005 --> 00:33:14,132
There's never been time, Mother.
346
00:33:14,974 --> 00:33:19,877
Since l was a child, l've been groomed
to be ever the best.
347
00:33:20,914 --> 00:33:25,374
My poor child, you're like Achilles...
348
00:33:25,552 --> 00:33:28,020
...cursed by your greatness.
349
00:33:32,492 --> 00:33:34,619
Yes. Take my strength.
350
00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:44,633
You must never confuse your feelings...
351
00:33:44,804 --> 00:33:47,898
...with your duties, Alexander.
352
00:33:48,308 --> 00:33:52,802
A king must make public gestures
for the common people.
353
00:33:52,979 --> 00:33:56,380
l know, but you will be 1 9 this summer...
354
00:33:56,549 --> 00:34:01,316
...and the girls already say you don't
like them. You like Hephaistion more.
355
00:34:01,488 --> 00:34:04,946
l understand.
lt's natural for a young man.
356
00:34:05,124 --> 00:34:09,322
But if you go to Asia without leaving
your successor, you risk all.
357
00:34:09,496 --> 00:34:14,957
Hephaistion loves me,
as l am...
358
00:34:15,935 --> 00:34:17,232
...not who.
359
00:34:18,705 --> 00:34:22,197
Loves? Loves?
360
00:34:24,210 --> 00:34:26,770
ln the name of Dionysus...
361
00:34:28,114 --> 00:34:34,576
...understand how Philip thinks,
for your own sake.
362
00:34:34,754 --> 00:34:38,690
Your life hangs in the balance.
363
00:34:39,125 --> 00:34:44,961
l know these things, Alexander.
You are nothing to him.
364
00:34:45,498 --> 00:34:49,764
His spies are inside your closest circle...
365
00:34:50,169 --> 00:34:53,502
...to ensure that
you don't plot against him.
366
00:34:53,673 --> 00:34:56,733
And still you sleep.
367
00:34:58,278 --> 00:35:01,839
You will not live out this year
unless you act!
368
00:35:02,015 --> 00:35:03,482
Stop!
369
00:35:05,785 --> 00:35:08,549
l'm his only worthy son.
370
00:35:08,721 --> 00:35:10,712
You crazed woman.
371
00:35:11,824 --> 00:35:13,849
He'd never hurt me.
372
00:35:14,961 --> 00:35:19,728
Even if Eurydice had a boy,
he'd be 20 before he'd let him rule.
373
00:35:19,899 --> 00:35:23,300
Yes, and you would be 40.
374
00:35:23,469 --> 00:35:29,874
Old and wise like Parmenion.
And Philip's young son would be 20.
375
00:35:30,043 --> 00:35:36,414
Like you now,
but raised by him, his blood.
376
00:35:36,983 --> 00:35:40,384
He will never give you
the throne now, Alexander.
377
00:35:40,553 --> 00:35:42,077
Never.
378
00:35:44,324 --> 00:35:46,451
What would you have me do?
379
00:35:47,293 --> 00:35:50,023
Whatever is necessary.
380
00:35:53,399 --> 00:35:56,095
Where have you lost your mind?
381
00:35:56,536 --> 00:35:58,936
lt would be civil war,
clan against clan, chaos.
382
00:35:59,105 --> 00:36:02,006
Yes. And you would win.
383
00:36:02,175 --> 00:36:04,803
Because the young ones
love you like a god.
384
00:36:04,978 --> 00:36:07,276
l forbid you to ever talk to me like that!
385
00:36:07,814 --> 00:36:10,681
Such a man would be forever chased
by the Furies!
386
00:36:10,850 --> 00:36:14,479
What have you to fear from the Furies...
387
00:36:14,654 --> 00:36:17,817
...for killing an impostor to the throne...
388
00:36:17,991 --> 00:36:21,552
...before he murders you
and your mother?
389
00:36:21,728 --> 00:36:24,424
Why won't you ever believe me?
390
00:36:24,597 --> 00:36:28,226
Philip did not want you.
391
00:36:28,801 --> 00:36:30,701
You had a condition of the breathing...
392
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:33,304
...and he wanted to leave you
in the mountains...
393
00:36:33,473 --> 00:36:36,601
...for the birds to peck at your eyes.
394
00:36:37,877 --> 00:36:40,175
What you don't know, my poor child.
395
00:36:40,346 --> 00:36:43,110
Lanice knows nothing of this.
396
00:36:43,316 --> 00:36:44,544
Lanice.
397
00:36:45,351 --> 00:36:47,876
l was there.
398
00:36:48,054 --> 00:36:50,682
Lanice was not.
399
00:36:51,090 --> 00:36:53,320
No, Alexander...
400
00:36:53,493 --> 00:36:56,985
...Zeus is your father.
401
00:36:57,664 --> 00:37:02,533
l laid with him that night in the wind,
as sure as any mortal man.
402
00:37:02,702 --> 00:37:06,263
Never have l been made love to
as l was then.
403
00:37:06,439 --> 00:37:07,838
Enough.
404
00:37:08,675 --> 00:37:12,475
Half the mothers in Greece
share such a fantasy.
405
00:37:13,046 --> 00:37:15,014
l warn you, Mother.
406
00:37:15,181 --> 00:37:17,308
Make no mistake.
407
00:37:18,284 --> 00:37:22,744
You will treat this girl as nothing
more important than his other wives.
408
00:37:22,955 --> 00:37:26,413
You will behave as we always have.
409
00:37:26,592 --> 00:37:28,321
As the first.
410
00:37:38,805 --> 00:37:40,636
l wonder...
411
00:37:41,941 --> 00:37:43,465
...did you ever love him?
412
00:37:47,213 --> 00:37:48,805
What?
413
00:37:51,184 --> 00:37:53,243
l never stopped.
414
00:38:27,553 --> 00:38:29,418
What is it, Orestes?
415
00:38:34,260 --> 00:38:36,319
l beg your forgiveness, my king.
416
00:38:37,296 --> 00:38:39,491
l cannot be part of this.
417
00:38:40,933 --> 00:38:42,867
Who did this?
418
00:38:45,805 --> 00:38:47,397
Tell me.
419
00:38:47,774 --> 00:38:49,799
-Say it!
-Hermolaus!
420
00:39:01,487 --> 00:39:05,014
Death to all tyrants.
421
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,425
l didn't do this!
422
00:39:10,029 --> 00:39:14,261
l've known you and loved you
as long as l know.
423
00:39:15,401 --> 00:39:18,097
Never will you find a man
as devoted as l.
424
00:39:18,271 --> 00:39:20,865
The conspiracy, such as it was...
425
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,474
...deeply upset Alexander.
426
00:39:23,643 --> 00:39:27,545
Not only because it involvedthe young people who shared his dream...
427
00:39:27,713 --> 00:39:33,413
...but more intimately, it implicatedPhilotas, his companion from boyhood...
428
00:39:33,586 --> 00:39:38,546
...when a page confessed that a few daysbefore, he'd informed Philotas...
429
00:39:38,724 --> 00:39:40,658
-Alexander.
-...of the plot.
430
00:39:42,495 --> 00:39:44,087
Remember me for who l am.
431
00:39:45,498 --> 00:39:50,868
l do remember you, Philotas,
but not as you remember yourself.
432
00:39:51,504 --> 00:39:56,532
And it appears to me and others here
from the testimony given by your mistress...
433
00:39:57,043 --> 00:40:00,535
...that the true weather of your soul
is ambition.
434
00:40:01,581 --> 00:40:02,570
No.
435
00:40:02,748 --> 00:40:06,479
We all felt there was more herethan sexual bickering.
436
00:40:06,652 --> 00:40:11,282
Alexander wanted the truth andPhilotas' answers were lacking merit.
437
00:40:11,624 --> 00:40:12,613
Please take him away.
438
00:40:12,792 --> 00:40:17,024
Alexander put him silently and quicklyto trial by his peers...
439
00:40:17,196 --> 00:40:21,189
...and whether plotter or opportunist,Philotas was found guilty of treason.
440
00:40:21,367 --> 00:40:23,198
-No, Alexander, no!
-Remove him.
441
00:40:23,369 --> 00:40:26,236
The suspects were all executed.
442
00:40:26,405 --> 00:40:29,101
None of us defended Philotas...
443
00:40:29,275 --> 00:40:32,676
...but then again,none of us ever liked him.
444
00:40:37,917 --> 00:40:42,377
And of course his powerwas carved up by the rest of us.
445
00:40:44,090 --> 00:40:46,388
Before he died, we tortured him...
446
00:40:46,559 --> 00:40:49,756
...to find out whathis father Parmenion knew.
447
00:40:49,929 --> 00:40:52,124
But this we never learned.
448
00:40:52,298 --> 00:40:56,257
What to do with Parmenion and his20,000 troops guarding our supply lines...
449
00:40:56,435 --> 00:41:00,132
...was a far more delicate matter.Was he innocent in this?
450
00:41:00,306 --> 00:41:05,437
Or had he decided to act beforeage further withered his power?
451
00:41:05,611 --> 00:41:09,103
-The men will follow their king.
-Alexander won't be there.
452
00:41:10,283 --> 00:41:13,719
Necessity required Alexander to act...
453
00:41:13,886 --> 00:41:18,789
...and he sealed the camp within the hourof the first accusations against Philotas.
454
00:41:20,126 --> 00:41:24,085
Then go, Antigonus, and Cleitus.
455
00:41:24,263 --> 00:41:26,094
And go quickly.
456
00:41:29,068 --> 00:41:33,505
Three days' hard ridingsent Antigonus and Cleitus...
457
00:41:33,672 --> 00:41:38,700
...to Parmenion, the generalmost loyal to Philip.
458
00:41:44,983 --> 00:41:48,510
His soldiers accepted the finding of guiltagainst Parmenion...
459
00:41:48,687 --> 00:41:51,178
...as they understood wellthe code of vengeance...
460
00:41:51,357 --> 00:41:56,226
...that made the head of familyresponsible for the behavior of all.
461
00:41:58,530 --> 00:42:02,728
Many of us felt we were better offwithout that pompous thorn, Parmenion...
462
00:42:02,901 --> 00:42:08,032
...as Alexander promoted all of usgenerously.
463
00:42:22,855 --> 00:42:27,349
lf we issue the gold bullion in the name
of Alexander then we meet a resistance.
464
00:42:27,526 --> 00:42:29,790
Cleitus. Antigonus.
465
00:42:29,962 --> 00:42:31,589
Parmenion.
466
00:44:45,163 --> 00:44:48,428
Come, Alexander,
drink this sadness away.
467
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,000
lf only thirst could quench sorrow,
Ptolemy.
468
00:44:54,406 --> 00:44:58,672
There's only one thing better
than winning a battle, son...
469
00:44:59,444 --> 00:45:02,311
...and that's the taste of a new woman.
470
00:45:02,481 --> 00:45:07,316
You'll find it far sweeter than self-pity.
471
00:45:07,486 --> 00:45:09,647
-Pausanias, you bore me.
-Alexander!
472
00:45:09,821 --> 00:45:12,847
-Be gone with you.
-Alexander, l found you the right girl.
473
00:45:13,025 --> 00:45:15,289
-What's your name, darling?
-Antigone.
474
00:45:15,460 --> 00:45:17,428
-What's your name?
-Antigone.
475
00:45:19,364 --> 00:45:22,561
-l love you.
-And l love you, Cleitus.
476
00:45:23,368 --> 00:45:25,996
-Please, no!
-There you go.
477
00:45:29,641 --> 00:45:31,973
l'll sleep in my grave, Hephaistion.
478
00:45:32,144 --> 00:45:34,977
While alive, l prefer dancing.
479
00:45:35,147 --> 00:45:36,671
Pausanias.
480
00:45:37,749 --> 00:45:39,182
Who's your new friend?
481
00:45:39,484 --> 00:45:41,577
-There's your new friend.
-Please don't!
482
00:45:41,753 --> 00:45:45,280
Don't! Please, no! No.
483
00:45:54,533 --> 00:45:55,727
A toast.
484
00:45:56,435 --> 00:45:57,834
A toast!
485
00:45:58,370 --> 00:46:03,706
l drink to our Greek friends
and to our new union...
486
00:46:03,875 --> 00:46:09,780
...Macedonia and Greece,
equals in greatness!
487
00:46:12,417 --> 00:46:18,720
And to Philip, our king, without whom
this union could not be possible.
488
00:46:18,890 --> 00:46:21,882
Come, Attalus, leave some
damn air in the hall!
489
00:46:23,562 --> 00:46:29,330
And last, l drink to the king's marriage
to my niece, Eurydice...
490
00:46:29,501 --> 00:46:32,595
...a Macedonian queen
we can be proud of!
491
00:46:35,807 --> 00:46:38,867
To Philip and Eurydice...
492
00:46:39,044 --> 00:46:42,309
...and to their legitimate sons!
493
00:46:44,516 --> 00:46:45,505
Don't!
494
00:46:45,684 --> 00:46:48,653
What am l, you son of a dog?
Come, then.
495
00:46:59,631 --> 00:47:02,099
What a disgrace.
496
00:47:02,267 --> 00:47:03,291
Shut up!
497
00:47:04,102 --> 00:47:05,967
-Shut up, all of you!
-Please.
498
00:47:06,471 --> 00:47:09,065
This is my wedding,
not some public brawl.
499
00:47:09,241 --> 00:47:11,209
lnsolent pup.
500
00:47:11,376 --> 00:47:14,709
Apologize, by Zeus,
before you dishonor me.
501
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,043
You defend the man who called
my mother a whore and me a bastard.
502
00:47:18,216 --> 00:47:21,583
-And l dishonor you?
-You listen like your mother.
503
00:47:21,753 --> 00:47:23,778
Attalus is my family now,
the same as you.
504
00:47:23,955 --> 00:47:26,685
Then choose your relatives
more carefully.
505
00:47:26,858 --> 00:47:30,089
Don't expect me to sit here
and watch you shame yourself.
506
00:47:30,262 --> 00:47:33,288
-You insult me!
-l insult you!
507
00:47:33,465 --> 00:47:36,434
A man not fit to lick the ground
my mother walks on.
508
00:47:36,601 --> 00:47:39,627
-You dog, questioning your queen.
-Shame?
509
00:47:43,409 --> 00:47:47,277
l'll marry the girl if l want,
and l'll have as many sons as l want.
510
00:47:47,447 --> 00:47:50,041
There's nothing you
or your harpy mother can do.
511
00:47:50,216 --> 00:47:52,013
Why, drunken man, must you think...
512
00:47:52,185 --> 00:47:54,619
...everything l do and say
comes from my mother?
513
00:47:54,787 --> 00:47:57,756
Because l know her heart, by Hera...
514
00:47:57,924 --> 00:48:00,119
...and l see her in your eyes.
515
00:48:00,293 --> 00:48:02,818
You covet this throne too much.
516
00:48:04,097 --> 00:48:09,501
We all know that she-wolf
of a mother of yours wants me dead.
517
00:48:09,669 --> 00:48:11,899
Well, you can both dream, boy.
518
00:48:12,071 --> 00:48:15,165
Philip, this is the wine talking.
Leave the boy. lt'll wait.
519
00:48:15,341 --> 00:48:16,933
Now!
520
00:48:18,111 --> 00:48:20,011
l command you.
521
00:48:21,013 --> 00:48:24,312
Apologize to your kinsman.
522
00:48:31,958 --> 00:48:33,687
Apologize.
523
00:48:33,860 --> 00:48:36,385
No kinsman to me.
524
00:48:39,966 --> 00:48:41,934
Good night, old man.
525
00:48:43,469 --> 00:48:47,872
And when my mother remarries,
l'll invite you to her wedding.
526
00:48:48,441 --> 00:48:50,375
You bastard!
527
00:48:56,182 --> 00:48:57,877
You'll obey me. Come here.
528
00:49:16,803 --> 00:49:20,432
This is the man who is going to
take you from Greece to Persia?
529
00:49:20,606 --> 00:49:23,097
He can't even make it
from one couch to the next.
530
00:49:23,409 --> 00:49:27,345
Get out of my palace!
You're exiled, you bastard!
531
00:49:28,114 --> 00:49:31,447
Banished from the land.
You're not welcome here.
532
00:49:32,351 --> 00:49:34,615
You're no son of mine!
533
00:50:18,364 --> 00:50:22,460
in the spring, Alexander marchedan army of 1 50,000...
534
00:50:22,635 --> 00:50:25,695
...across the passes of the Hindu Kush...
535
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,230
...into the unknown.
536
00:50:29,509 --> 00:50:34,310
in his dream, it was the promised routeto the end of the world.
537
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,380
We were now a mobile empire...
538
00:50:36,549 --> 00:50:40,417
...stretching back thousands of milesto Greece.
539
00:50:40,586 --> 00:50:43,316
Cooks and architects,doctors, surveyors...
540
00:50:43,489 --> 00:50:45,116
...moneylenders and wives...
541
00:50:45,291 --> 00:50:48,158
...children, lovers, whores.
542
00:50:48,327 --> 00:50:50,090
And slaves...
543
00:50:50,263 --> 00:50:54,927
...that anonymous, bent, working spineof this new beast.
544
00:50:55,101 --> 00:50:58,935
Ravaged or expanded, for better or worse...
545
00:50:59,805 --> 00:51:04,401
...no occupied territoryremained the same again.
546
00:51:07,747 --> 00:51:09,772
Although devoted to Roxane...
547
00:51:09,949 --> 00:51:13,043
...Alexander's visitsto her tent diminished...
548
00:51:13,219 --> 00:51:18,316
...as a year, then two, went bywithout a successor...
549
00:51:19,125 --> 00:51:22,356
...wounding Alexander's great pride.
550
00:51:22,695 --> 00:51:26,290
The surveyors are saying that Zeus
chained Prometheus up there.
551
00:51:26,465 --> 00:51:27,693
ln one of those caves.
552
00:51:29,669 --> 00:51:32,399
They say there's a giant eagle's nest
just above it.
553
00:51:32,705 --> 00:51:37,506
l suppose he drops down each night
to peck out poor Prometheus' liver.
554
00:51:40,146 --> 00:51:43,604
You remember what Aristotle told us
of these mountains?
555
00:51:44,483 --> 00:51:46,144
Yes, l do.
556
00:51:46,953 --> 00:51:49,046
That when we reach these heights...
557
00:51:49,221 --> 00:51:52,452
...we'd look back and see Macedonia
to the west...
558
00:51:52,625 --> 00:51:55,219
...and the outer ocean to the east.
559
00:51:59,298 --> 00:52:04,326
But l fear this world is far larger
than anyone dreamed.
560
00:52:04,503 --> 00:52:06,630
A world of Titans.
561
00:52:06,806 --> 00:52:10,799
The scouts have been up
every known trail, Alexander.
562
00:52:10,977 --> 00:52:13,207
There is no way across.
563
00:52:13,779 --> 00:52:17,943
Except to the south, into lndia.
564
00:52:18,351 --> 00:52:21,411
Were we gods, we'd breach
these walls to the eastern ocean.
565
00:52:22,254 --> 00:52:23,949
We will, Alexander.
566
00:52:24,123 --> 00:52:26,785
ln a few years' time, we will return.
567
00:52:26,959 --> 00:52:30,759
But first, the men must see their homes.
568
00:52:32,231 --> 00:52:34,256
Have you found your home...
569
00:52:34,433 --> 00:52:36,128
...Ptolemy?
570
00:52:40,773 --> 00:52:44,004
More and more, l think
it will be Alexandria.
571
00:52:46,145 --> 00:52:48,272
Well, at least it's hot.
572
00:52:49,281 --> 00:52:51,010
And Thais...
573
00:52:51,884 --> 00:52:53,943
...she loved it there.
574
00:52:55,721 --> 00:52:57,985
Women bring men home.
575
00:52:59,091 --> 00:53:04,028
-l have no such feeling.
-You have Babylon, Alexander.
576
00:53:04,196 --> 00:53:06,323
Where your mother awaits your invitation.
577
00:53:06,766 --> 00:53:09,257
Yes, l have Babylon.
578
00:53:09,435 --> 00:53:13,804
But each land, each boundary l cross...
579
00:53:13,973 --> 00:53:16,305
...l strip away another illusion.
580
00:53:17,677 --> 00:53:20,009
l sense death will be the last.
581
00:53:22,748 --> 00:53:26,206
Yet still l push harder and harder...
582
00:53:26,385 --> 00:53:29,946
...to reach this home.
583
00:53:35,528 --> 00:53:36,961
Where has our eagle gone?
584
00:53:41,567 --> 00:53:43,660
We must go on, Ptolemy.
585
00:53:44,970 --> 00:53:46,631
Until we find an end.
586
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:07,729
india, the land where the sun was born...
587
00:54:07,904 --> 00:54:10,498
...fabled to be even richer than Persia...
588
00:54:10,674 --> 00:54:14,701
...had never been explored or conquered.
589
00:54:14,878 --> 00:54:20,214
From the beginning, we struggledto unify a land without a center.
590
00:54:20,383 --> 00:54:23,113
Kings who conspired against one another.
591
00:54:23,286 --> 00:54:27,347
A labyrinth of tribes urged onby zealots and philosophers...
592
00:54:27,524 --> 00:54:31,722
...to die by the thousandsfor their strange gods.
593
00:54:36,333 --> 00:54:40,133
We saw things we'd never dreamedand could hardly describe.
594
00:54:40,503 --> 00:54:43,472
We saw birds that could talkand men that couldn't.
595
00:54:45,375 --> 00:54:49,368
Craterus, in the advance party,fought against men with hairy skins...
596
00:54:49,546 --> 00:54:51,980
...who were tiny andlived in the tops of trees.
597
00:54:57,721 --> 00:55:00,485
-Over there!
-They're animals.
598
00:55:00,657 --> 00:55:04,184
Until Hephaistion convinced usthese were animals who imitated men...
599
00:55:04,361 --> 00:55:06,454
...but wore their own skin.
600
00:55:07,697 --> 00:55:10,666
They called this tribe ''monkey. ''
601
00:55:11,334 --> 00:55:14,303
Monkey. Monkey.
602
00:55:15,372 --> 00:55:19,103
But we saw little difference withthe tribes who lived among them.
603
00:55:20,877 --> 00:55:24,244
-Look at his hand.
-lt's so much like ours.
604
00:55:27,918 --> 00:55:29,146
Hello, little man.
605
00:55:30,020 --> 00:55:34,957
-Do they speak?
-No, but they do sing and make noises...
606
00:55:35,125 --> 00:55:37,218
...from the roofs of the forest.
607
00:55:41,197 --> 00:55:43,062
We saw menwho walked naked in public...
608
00:55:43,233 --> 00:55:47,431
...and spent hours at a timestaring and doing nothing.
609
00:55:47,737 --> 00:55:50,865
Some who lived 200 years.
610
00:55:52,442 --> 00:55:55,172
And then, there was the rain.
611
00:56:01,017 --> 00:56:04,748
Never before had we seen waterthat fell from the gods...
612
00:56:04,921 --> 00:56:06,411
...for 60 days and nights.
613
00:56:07,624 --> 00:56:09,683
Well done today.
614
00:56:11,828 --> 00:56:14,126
Make sure the women and children
are fed.
615
00:56:19,903 --> 00:56:21,996
You know better, Machatas.
616
00:56:25,542 --> 00:56:26,975
What's your son going to say?
617
00:56:27,310 --> 00:56:29,744
Come on, man.
The older you get, the stronger.
618
00:56:29,913 --> 00:56:33,440
Right, my king.
You're my horse, Alexander.
619
00:56:33,616 --> 00:56:35,914
l'll be with you at your side.
620
00:56:38,388 --> 00:56:40,185
Everything rotted in this rain...
621
00:56:40,357 --> 00:56:44,589
...and scores of men died miserablyfrom the tiny serpents...
622
00:56:44,761 --> 00:56:48,492
...that were everywhere in this evil land.
623
00:56:50,333 --> 00:56:51,960
-What happened?
-lt's to the neck.
624
00:56:52,135 --> 00:56:54,569
Oh, no. Zeus, no.
625
00:56:54,738 --> 00:56:56,296
Hold on. Hold on.
626
00:56:59,175 --> 00:57:00,506
Be brave.
627
00:57:00,677 --> 00:57:02,304
Be brave.
628
00:57:02,479 --> 00:57:04,504
Oh, Zeus.
629
00:57:06,249 --> 00:57:09,685
Our quest for gold and glory evaporatedas we realized...
630
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,281
...there was none to be had.
631
00:57:12,956 --> 00:57:14,753
Tempers worsened.
632
00:57:14,924 --> 00:57:17,893
We massacred all indians who resisted.
633
00:57:18,061 --> 00:57:20,154
And with the local water putrid...
634
00:57:20,330 --> 00:57:23,094
...we drank the strong wine.
635
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,748
And as we moved south and east...
636
00:58:19,923 --> 00:58:24,826
...Alexander often returned the landswe'd conquered to their defeated kings...
637
00:58:24,994 --> 00:58:26,859
...so as to make them allies.
638
00:58:27,030 --> 00:58:30,056
But this did not sit well with the army...
639
00:58:30,233 --> 00:58:31,495
...who began to wonder:
640
00:58:32,302 --> 00:58:35,396
Were we here for riches?Or had Alexander...
641
00:58:35,572 --> 00:58:39,941
...in some remorseless and crazed questto imitate the glory of Herakles...
642
00:58:40,110 --> 00:58:41,634
...forgotten them?
643
00:58:42,412 --> 00:58:45,813
One thing an armyknows quickly in their bones...
644
00:58:45,982 --> 00:58:48,416
...is which way the gods are blowing.
645
01:00:16,506 --> 01:00:18,303
Kiss him!
646
01:00:42,899 --> 01:00:45,459
-To Bagoas.
-To Bagoas!
647
01:00:50,974 --> 01:00:55,104
-And to my mother's god, Dionysus...
-Dionysus!
648
01:00:55,278 --> 01:00:59,612
...who, we're told by our lndian allies,
traveled here before Herakles...
649
01:00:59,782 --> 01:01:02,546
...some 6000 years ago.
650
01:01:02,719 --> 01:01:04,152
To a hero.
651
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,311
To a hero!
652
01:01:26,175 --> 01:01:27,506
Roxane.
653
01:01:34,384 --> 01:01:36,818
You lose face.
654
01:01:36,986 --> 01:01:38,510
These lndians...
655
01:01:38,688 --> 01:01:40,451
...they are a low, evil people.
656
01:01:40,623 --> 01:01:43,023
You don't try to understand them.
657
01:01:43,326 --> 01:01:45,521
l try.
658
01:01:45,695 --> 01:01:48,664
But this l know, Alexander.
659
01:01:48,931 --> 01:01:51,923
ln Persia, you are a great king.
660
01:01:52,268 --> 01:01:53,826
Here...
661
01:01:54,003 --> 01:01:55,971
...they hate you.
662
01:01:58,775 --> 01:02:01,972
Let us go back to Babylon.
663
01:02:03,012 --> 01:02:04,639
There, you are strong.
664
01:02:06,883 --> 01:02:09,147
We'll talk about this later.
665
01:02:09,319 --> 01:02:10,786
Yes.
666
01:02:10,953 --> 01:02:12,511
Later.
667
01:02:12,689 --> 01:02:14,213
Talk.
668
01:02:16,959 --> 01:02:18,984
l shall come.
669
01:02:19,162 --> 01:02:20,390
Tonight.
670
01:02:21,431 --> 01:02:23,296
And l shall wait.
671
01:02:25,134 --> 01:02:27,227
Good night, my king.
672
01:02:28,771 --> 01:02:30,932
Your Majesty.
673
01:02:32,675 --> 01:02:35,701
Come, Alexander, drink with us.
674
01:02:38,081 --> 01:02:41,209
-Alexander.
-Alexander!
675
01:02:43,186 --> 01:02:47,919
l remember a time
you hated how your father drank.
676
01:02:48,091 --> 01:02:50,082
Now l know why.
677
01:02:51,661 --> 01:02:55,688
Dionysus is hero.
678
01:02:56,833 --> 01:03:00,530
But he is also mind breaker.
679
01:03:00,703 --> 01:03:04,036
He destroys our self-control.
680
01:03:04,574 --> 01:03:08,135
Self-control is a lover
l've known too long, Ptolemy.
681
01:03:11,581 --> 01:03:14,448
The struggle worries me to the bone.
682
01:03:15,685 --> 01:03:18,711
And success l find to be
as corrupt as failure.
683
01:03:19,922 --> 01:03:24,120
But Dionysus,
bless his ancient soul...
684
01:03:24,293 --> 01:03:27,023
...frees me from myself.
685
01:03:27,397 --> 01:03:30,992
And then, l move up.
686
01:03:34,003 --> 01:03:36,631
l'm simply, Alexander.
687
01:03:40,877 --> 01:03:42,674
A toast to Bagoas.
688
01:03:44,313 --> 01:03:48,943
And the 30,000 beautiful Persian boys...
689
01:03:49,118 --> 01:03:51,643
...we're training to fight
in this great army.
690
01:03:54,590 --> 01:03:56,649
And to the memory of Philip.
691
01:03:56,826 --> 01:03:59,761
Had he lived to see his Macedonians...
692
01:03:59,929 --> 01:04:02,955
...transformed into such...
693
01:04:03,132 --> 01:04:04,724
...a pretty army.
694
01:04:07,036 --> 01:04:08,333
To Philip.
695
01:04:08,504 --> 01:04:10,597
To a real hero.
696
01:04:10,773 --> 01:04:13,037
Philip!
697
01:04:15,878 --> 01:04:20,645
To Cleitus and his new appointment
as satrap of Bactria.
698
01:04:20,817 --> 01:04:22,444
Cleitus.
699
01:04:23,853 --> 01:04:26,549
That's a fancy way of putting it, Ptolemy.
700
01:04:26,722 --> 01:04:29,748
But we all know what a pension
and an exile is...
701
01:04:29,926 --> 01:04:32,087
...after 30 years' service.
702
01:04:32,295 --> 01:04:33,956
Exile?
703
01:04:34,230 --> 01:04:35,993
From where, Cleitus?
704
01:04:36,165 --> 01:04:38,895
From my home, Alexander, Macedonia.
705
01:04:39,068 --> 01:04:42,731
You could've asked me where l
wanted to spend the rest of my life.
706
01:04:42,972 --> 01:04:46,965
You call governing
this major province exile?
707
01:04:47,143 --> 01:04:50,237
Has Your Majesty given any
of his closest companions...
708
01:04:51,013 --> 01:04:53,174
...a province so far from home?
709
01:04:53,349 --> 01:04:56,750
Then you won't make a very
good satrap, will you, Cleitus?
710
01:05:00,022 --> 01:05:01,649
So be it.
711
01:05:01,824 --> 01:05:05,419
Let me rot in Macedonian rags...
712
01:05:05,595 --> 01:05:07,722
...rather than shine...
713
01:05:07,897 --> 01:05:10,024
...in Eastern pomp.
714
01:05:10,533 --> 01:05:14,333
l won't quake and bow down
like the sycophants you have around you.
715
01:05:14,504 --> 01:05:18,565
Hephaistion, Nearchus, Perdiccas.
716
01:05:19,208 --> 01:05:23,611
As governor of one
of our most Asian of satrapies...
717
01:05:23,779 --> 01:05:28,648
...Cleitus, does it not occur to you
that if my Persian subjects...
718
01:05:28,818 --> 01:05:31,844
...bow down before me,
it's important for them to do so?
719
01:05:32,021 --> 01:05:34,751
Do l insist on Greeks doing the same?
720
01:05:34,924 --> 01:05:39,987
You accept Greek offerings
as a son of Zeus, do you not?
721
01:05:41,998 --> 01:05:43,363
Only when offered.
722
01:05:43,533 --> 01:05:46,366
Why don't you refuse
these vain flatteries?
723
01:05:46,536 --> 01:05:49,096
What freedom is this, to bow before you?
724
01:05:49,272 --> 01:05:52,036
You bow before Herakles,
and he was mortal...
725
01:05:52,208 --> 01:05:53,800
...but a son of Zeus.
726
01:05:53,976 --> 01:05:57,571
How can you, so young,
compare yourself to Herakles?
727
01:05:58,814 --> 01:06:00,782
Why not?
728
01:06:03,386 --> 01:06:05,854
l've achieved more in my years.
729
01:06:06,022 --> 01:06:07,546
Traveled as far.
730
01:06:07,723 --> 01:06:08,815
Probably farther.
731
01:06:08,991 --> 01:06:11,221
Herakles did it by himself.
732
01:06:11,394 --> 01:06:14,522
Did you conquer Asia
by yourself, Alexander?
733
01:06:14,697 --> 01:06:16,426
Who planned the Asian invasion...
734
01:06:16,599 --> 01:06:20,433
...when you were still being spanked
on your bottom by my sister Lanice?
735
01:06:20,603 --> 01:06:22,537
Was it not your father?
736
01:06:22,705 --> 01:06:24,673
Or is his blood no longer good enough?
737
01:06:25,174 --> 01:06:28,735
-Zeus-Amon, is it?
-You insult me, Cleitus.
738
01:06:28,911 --> 01:06:31,505
You mock my family. Be careful.
739
01:06:32,048 --> 01:06:35,484
Never would your father have taken
barbarians as his friends...
740
01:06:35,651 --> 01:06:38,279
...asked us to fight with them
as equals in war.
741
01:06:38,454 --> 01:06:40,388
Are we not good enough any longer?
742
01:06:40,556 --> 01:06:42,649
l remember a time...
743
01:06:42,825 --> 01:06:45,555
...when we could talk as men,
straight to the eye.
744
01:06:45,728 --> 01:06:48,458
None of this scraping, groveling.
745
01:06:49,131 --> 01:06:51,292
l remember a time when we hunted...
746
01:06:51,467 --> 01:06:54,493
...when we wrestled
on the gymnasium floor.
747
01:06:54,704 --> 01:06:56,501
Now you kiss them?
748
01:06:58,174 --> 01:07:03,202
Take a barbarian, childless wife
and dare call her queen?
749
01:07:05,514 --> 01:07:09,473
Go quickly, Cleitus,
before you ruin your life.
750
01:07:13,322 --> 01:07:16,814
Doesn't your great pride
fear the gods any longer?
751
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,561
This army....
This army is your blood, boy!
752
01:07:21,731 --> 01:07:23,790
Without it, you're nothing!
753
01:07:28,938 --> 01:07:32,271
You no longer serve the purpose
of this march!
754
01:07:32,775 --> 01:07:35,471
-Get him from my sight!
-l don't serve your purpose?!
755
01:07:35,645 --> 01:07:39,376
What was l serving when l saved
your puppy life at Gaugamela?
756
01:07:39,548 --> 01:07:43,040
Were you Zeus' boy?
What if l left you to die in the dust there?
757
01:07:43,219 --> 01:07:46,780
Do you think we'd be forced now
to mate with brown apes?
758
01:07:46,956 --> 01:07:48,184
Alexander!
759
01:07:48,357 --> 01:07:51,918
Turn out the guards!
Arrest him for treason!
760
01:07:56,432 --> 01:07:58,093
-l'll go with him.
-Alexander.
761
01:07:58,267 --> 01:07:59,894
-Who's with him?
-No.
762
01:08:00,069 --> 01:08:01,593
Who's with him?
763
01:08:02,238 --> 01:08:04,399
l call Father Zeus to witness.
764
01:08:04,573 --> 01:08:06,871
l call you to trial before him!
765
01:08:07,043 --> 01:08:09,534
And we'll see how deep
this conspiracy cuts!
766
01:08:09,712 --> 01:08:12,237
-Take him!
-ln the name of the gods, get him out!
767
01:08:12,415 --> 01:08:16,511
Now look at you!
Great white ass, Alexander.
768
01:08:16,686 --> 01:08:18,483
Hiding behind his fairy god!
769
01:08:18,654 --> 01:08:24,388
Or are you too great to remember
whose life was saved by me?!
770
01:08:25,127 --> 01:08:30,429
-l am more a man than you'll ever be! Ever!
-Get him out!
771
01:08:31,267 --> 01:08:35,260
-He's gone. He's gone.
-Alexander.
772
01:08:35,438 --> 01:08:36,632
Come on!
773
01:08:37,173 --> 01:08:41,906
What a tyrant you are!
An evil tyrant you've become, Alexander.
774
01:08:42,078 --> 01:08:45,104
You speak of plots against you?
What about poor Parmenion?
775
01:08:45,715 --> 01:08:46,704
Get out!
776
01:08:46,882 --> 01:08:49,646
He served you well.
Look how you repaid him.
777
01:08:49,819 --> 01:08:52,583
You made me do your foul deed.
Have you no shame?
778
01:08:52,755 --> 01:08:56,657
You ungrateful wretch! No one, not my
vilest enemy, has spoken like you to me.
779
01:08:56,826 --> 01:09:00,057
Getting what l say?!
Despot. False king.
780
01:09:01,530 --> 01:09:04,226
You and your barbarian mother
live in shame.
781
01:09:29,058 --> 01:09:30,616
Cleitus.
782
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,451
Oh, my Cleitus. Cleitus.
783
01:09:40,269 --> 01:09:41,793
-Let me pass.
-None can enter.
784
01:09:41,971 --> 01:09:43,871
l am the queen.
785
01:09:51,947 --> 01:09:54,108
l want to see him.
l've waited three days.
786
01:09:54,283 --> 01:09:56,979
He says none, not even you.
787
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:02,022
-He needs me.
-No, he doesn't.
788
01:10:02,191 --> 01:10:03,954
And he needs you?
789
01:10:05,661 --> 01:10:07,390
Hephaistion, you make a mistake.
790
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:15,161
The army grows restless, questioning.
791
01:10:16,405 --> 01:10:18,134
Alexander.
792
01:10:20,810 --> 01:10:22,539
They need your reassurance.
793
01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:25,408
Heinous.
794
01:10:25,581 --> 01:10:29,415
Like an old lover they forgive,
but they will never forget.
795
01:10:29,785 --> 01:10:34,484
-He was an aging drunk.
-He was my friend.
796
01:10:36,392 --> 01:10:39,190
His sister Lanice nursed me.
797
01:10:40,062 --> 01:10:42,292
And how did l repay her?
798
01:10:43,766 --> 01:10:47,167
Two brothers dead,
fighting him by my own hands.
799
01:10:47,336 --> 01:10:49,804
Her last remaining blood.
800
01:10:53,275 --> 01:10:57,439
What will she do but weep
on the day of my birth?
801
01:10:59,081 --> 01:11:01,208
Come. You know more than any...
802
01:11:01,383 --> 01:11:06,150
...great deeds are done by men
who took and never regretted.
803
01:11:06,322 --> 01:11:08,222
You're Alexander.
804
01:11:08,390 --> 01:11:11,154
Pity and grief will only destroy you.
805
01:11:11,327 --> 01:11:14,956
Have l become so arrogant
that l am blind?
806
01:11:17,700 --> 01:11:23,229
Sometimes, to expect
the best of everyone is...
807
01:11:23,405 --> 01:11:24,895
:::arrogance:
808
01:11:26,408 --> 01:11:31,812
Then Cleitus spoke true.
l have become a tyrant.
809
01:11:32,615 --> 01:11:34,173
No.
810
01:11:36,619 --> 01:11:38,746
But perhaps a stranger.
811
01:11:40,556 --> 01:11:41,784
You've gone too far.
812
01:11:43,926 --> 01:11:46,622
They don't understand you anymore.
813
01:11:48,430 --> 01:11:52,423
They speak of Philip now...
814
01:11:52,601 --> 01:11:56,537
...as if l were a passing cloud...
815
01:11:56,705 --> 01:11:58,798
...soon to be forgotten.
816
01:12:00,943 --> 01:12:02,774
l've failed...
817
01:12:02,945 --> 01:12:04,640
...utterly.
818
01:12:06,749 --> 01:12:08,580
You're mortal.
819
01:12:09,051 --> 01:12:10,985
And they know it.
820
01:12:11,153 --> 01:12:15,487
And they forgive you because
you make them proud of themselves.
821
01:12:16,158 --> 01:12:19,093
Philip once said...
822
01:12:21,063 --> 01:12:23,691
...that there's a Titan in all of us.
823
01:12:24,667 --> 01:12:27,659
That they wait, mixed in our ashes.
824
01:12:33,108 --> 01:12:35,508
lt wasn't because of the wine, l killed.
825
01:12:36,078 --> 01:12:38,444
lt was because l wanted to.
826
01:13:06,642 --> 01:13:09,805
Philip, King of Macedonia...
827
01:13:09,979 --> 01:13:11,879
...and leader of the Greeks.
828
01:13:12,648 --> 01:13:17,608
All my life, l've waited to see Greeks
grovel with respect for Macedonia.
829
01:13:18,887 --> 01:13:21,014
Today is that day.
830
01:13:25,494 --> 01:13:28,224
They say already,
''Philip was a great general...
831
01:13:28,397 --> 01:13:32,265
...but Alexander is simply great.''
832
01:13:33,836 --> 01:13:36,498
But if you ever insult me again...
833
01:13:36,672 --> 01:13:38,299
...l'll kill you.
834
01:13:44,480 --> 01:13:45,879
l've missed you.
835
01:13:46,048 --> 01:13:48,608
ln the spring, Persia.
836
01:13:48,784 --> 01:13:51,048
You'll command my horse from the right.
837
01:13:51,220 --> 01:13:53,450
l'm honored, Father. l wouldn't miss it...
838
01:13:53,622 --> 01:13:55,351
...for all the gold in the world.
839
01:13:55,524 --> 01:13:57,651
Which, one day, you'll have.
840
01:14:14,643 --> 01:14:17,077
Making himself a 1 3th god.
841
01:14:17,246 --> 01:14:21,478
He's drunk so much wine,
my poor Philip, he's lost his mind.
842
01:14:24,753 --> 01:14:27,449
-Your Majesty.
-Attalus.
843
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,827
l hope the prince
is enjoying the spectacle...
844
01:14:34,997 --> 01:14:37,898
...as much as our regent.
845
01:14:38,067 --> 01:14:39,591
He's very tired.
846
01:14:43,906 --> 01:14:46,101
Hey.
847
01:14:48,510 --> 01:14:51,604
-Pausanias, bring the rest of the guard.
-Royal guard!
848
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,576
To the arena! March!
849
01:14:54,750 --> 01:14:57,651
No guard, Your Majesty?
ln all this crowd?
850
01:14:57,820 --> 01:15:01,187
-Greeks all over the place.
-Cleitus, Cleitus.
851
01:15:01,890 --> 01:15:03,414
My Cleitus.
852
01:15:03,926 --> 01:15:06,520
This man you can
always trust, Alexander.
853
01:15:06,962 --> 01:15:08,554
Treat him as you would me.
854
01:15:08,730 --> 01:15:10,925
He'll guard your back for you.
855
01:15:11,433 --> 01:15:13,264
Yes, Father.
856
01:15:13,435 --> 01:15:16,336
My people are guard enough today.
857
01:15:16,505 --> 01:15:19,963
Let these Greeks see for themselves
how l can walk through my people.
858
01:15:20,142 --> 01:15:21,666
Then let them call me tyrant.
859
01:15:22,211 --> 01:15:25,510
Bring the main guard in
after my entry only.
860
01:15:25,681 --> 01:15:29,344
Cleitus, make sure the wine
flows steady all day.
861
01:15:29,518 --> 01:15:31,509
l want them to like me.
862
01:15:38,660 --> 01:15:41,356
Weren't you told? l go in alone.
863
01:15:41,530 --> 01:15:43,521
Follow with the main guard.
864
01:15:43,699 --> 01:15:45,132
Go on.
865
01:15:48,170 --> 01:15:51,503
-Go on.
-Father, it's best l go with you.
866
01:15:53,709 --> 01:15:56,872
You want the world to see
you're my successor.
867
01:15:57,045 --> 01:15:58,979
ls that what she wants?
868
01:15:59,448 --> 01:16:02,212
Don't look so hurt all the time,
Alexander. Be a man.
869
01:16:02,384 --> 01:16:06,582
You count yourself lucky you were here
at all today, after your public display.
870
01:16:10,392 --> 01:16:12,519
By Herakles, by Zeus, by all the gods...
871
01:16:12,694 --> 01:16:15,254
...obey me this once!
872
01:16:16,565 --> 01:16:19,193
Have courage, Father.
873
01:16:19,368 --> 01:16:21,836
And go on your way
rejoicing that at each step...
874
01:16:22,004 --> 01:16:24,199
...you may recall your valor.
875
01:16:59,942 --> 01:17:03,878
And now, our beloved King Philip...
876
01:17:04,046 --> 01:17:07,243
...in whose honor
these wedding games begin.
877
01:17:25,100 --> 01:17:27,534
Pausanias, l told you--
878
01:17:36,678 --> 01:17:37,736
Who's your new friend?
879
01:17:37,913 --> 01:17:39,642
There's your new friend.
880
01:17:40,782 --> 01:17:43,342
No! Please, don't! No!
881
01:19:22,751 --> 01:19:25,379
The king lives!
882
01:19:25,554 --> 01:19:28,853
Alexander, son of Philip!
883
01:19:29,024 --> 01:19:31,618
May the gods bless the king!
884
01:19:35,297 --> 01:19:38,027
Alexander is king!
885
01:19:40,602 --> 01:19:43,332
You're king now. You're king.
886
01:19:44,172 --> 01:19:46,834
Long live Alexander!
887
01:19:48,510 --> 01:19:52,674
-Alexander!
-King Alexander!
888
01:19:52,848 --> 01:19:56,306
Alexander!
889
01:19:57,319 --> 01:20:00,311
Alexander is king!
890
01:20:03,925 --> 01:20:07,292
May the gods bless Alexander!
891
01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:12,193
May the gods bless the king!
892
01:20:12,367 --> 01:20:14,164
Alexander!
893
01:20:31,486 --> 01:20:34,216
You break my heart, you men.
894
01:20:34,389 --> 01:20:36,186
Afraid.
895
01:20:37,592 --> 01:20:39,219
Of course you have fears.
896
01:20:39,394 --> 01:20:40,827
We all have fears...
897
01:20:40,996 --> 01:20:44,159
...because no one has ever
gone this far before.
898
01:20:44,699 --> 01:20:49,102
And now we are weeks from
the encircling ocean, our route home.
899
01:20:49,404 --> 01:20:51,031
We'll build a fleet of ships...
900
01:20:51,206 --> 01:20:54,175
...and sail all the way
back down the Nile to Egypt.
901
01:20:54,342 --> 01:20:57,470
And from Alexandria,
we shall be home within weeks.
902
01:20:57,846 --> 01:21:00,076
There to be reunited with our loved ones.
903
01:21:00,248 --> 01:21:03,877
To share our great treasures
and tales of Asia.
904
01:21:04,052 --> 01:21:08,853
And to enjoy our imperishable glory
to the ends of time.
905
01:21:10,058 --> 01:21:13,550
-Follow Alexander.
-l'll follow you.
906
01:21:18,166 --> 01:21:19,929
What?
907
01:21:20,101 --> 01:21:23,400
-Silence?
-We're with you, Alexander!
908
01:21:23,772 --> 01:21:25,296
Crateros.
909
01:21:27,542 --> 01:21:28,804
Crateros.
910
01:21:28,977 --> 01:21:30,672
And another one.
911
01:21:42,157 --> 01:21:43,419
My king.
912
01:21:43,592 --> 01:21:45,560
l'm a fighting man.
913
01:21:45,727 --> 01:21:49,663
l don't like no bellyaching.
l won't tolerate it in any of my units.
914
01:21:51,066 --> 01:21:53,261
l lost many a man.
915
01:21:54,369 --> 01:21:56,997
Young ones, never been with a woman.
916
01:21:58,173 --> 01:22:00,334
Some died of disease.
917
01:22:00,909 --> 01:22:05,141
Some were butchered in Scythia
by the banks of the Oxus.
918
01:22:05,313 --> 01:22:07,042
Some died good.
919
01:22:07,215 --> 01:22:10,275
Some just didn't get no luck.
920
01:22:11,086 --> 01:22:12,815
But they died.
