Why didn't you tell them that your father is the king of Sparta?

By saying this, you could get away with it.

Why don't you say "death", Nikos?

I broke the law by helping the Spartan gladiators escape.

Your turn, Spartan!

You still have time! Talk to me!

Tell them your father is the ruler of Sparta!

Better tell my father that I'm dead killed in battle against the Romans.

It's better to fall out of the number of living, than to become a slave to the Romans!

Leave your sword!

And that gladiator is a real butcher!

Looks stronger than all the others.

No one wields a sword like this like him.

But there is no way to win! Don't you see how many there are?

Twenty-five dinars for that he will succeed!

- This is impossible! - It was impossible to bet against him!

He doesn't fight like a slave!

Fights immediately with the group!

If we kill this gladiator, this will cause outrage.

I don't want him to be killed while he is unarmed!

Finish the show!

You're welcome! You're welcome!

You're welcome! You're welcome!!!

Consul! On behalf of the Romans, I ask you to have mercy on the gladiator!

You're welcome! Mercy!

Mercy! Mercy!

By the will of the people, our mercy will be extended to you!

If only because you alone stood against three!

But you must return to your country immediately!

In the first century after Christ, Sparta was still under Roman rule...

...but this province enjoyed greater freedom than the rest of Greece.

Ephors, as leaders of Spartan democracy, increased their influence during this period...

...which led to the destruction of other institutions.

Get out!

Can't find something better to do?

Haven't you heard that Darius is returning?

You take it too seriously, Milan!

You are afraid for no reason.

You are a slave smuggler.

- You shouldn't be afraid of anything! - No...

No, Hjarba!

You know that I no longer trade in slaves.

The old jackal began to defend his newly found respectability!

I also no longer take slaves for sale!

Moreover...

...now I am respected! I am the most powerful man in Sparta!

That's why I want to be absolutely sure that no one is trying take my place!

You already said it.

Is it Darius who can encroach on your rule?

Of course it can!

His father was loved by the people.

And if Darius finds out who responsible for death his father...

You! You killed him!

I...

I just helped make it so to make it look like suicide.

We helped each other.

- We will continue to do this! - No!

I refuse!

Be careful!

This is the second time you have resisted my wishes.

The first time was when you refused me your daughter's hand!

This is Aglaya!

She is indecisive.

She desires Darius! I know, we've already discussed!

But do you really think...

...that Darius marries a man's daughter, involved in his father's death?

Darius...

...will never know!

I hope you won't enlighten him either.

It depends solely on Aglaya, if you understand me.

Now go! Find Macrobius and the three most faithful people.

- Ismere! - Darius!

Ismer...

What happened to this house?

Where is my father?

They killed him!

He was killed!

Names!

Tell me the names of the killers! Who are they?

It was Hjarba.

It's just one name! You said that "they" killed him!

Milan.

Aglaya's father!?

After he was found hanged in the forest, rumors began to spread...

...that he joined the fight against Sparta on the side of tyranny...

...and that he committed suicide...

...to avoid shame, with which his compatriots will cover him.

But how could a man like your father become a traitor and kill himself!?

The most honest man of all the citizens of Sparta!

But you can't stay here anymore! The house is constantly being watched!

Don't worry about me.

Now you need to complete your mission!

I will avenge my father!

- Be careful, Ismere! - But, wait!

Darius!

I saved something for your return.

This is my father's sword.

I'm using you to clear my good name!

Goodbye, Ismere!

Mother! Darius is here!

It suits you. Are you satisfied?

Very beautiful! Thank you!

Aglaya, I will do anything as long as you are happy.

I'm already so happy which is no longer necessary.

But you know that my happiness will be complete only when Darius will come back, dad.

Of course... But there has been no news from him for many years, you know.

Perhaps he has already changed his mind.

You were just a child when he left.

Do you take into account the fact that Darius might not return at all?

If Darius doesn't return, it means my life is meaningless!

Ah, Aglaya!

You shouldn't say that!

Sorry, father!

But Darius...

I know you love him.

And I think that he will still return. I hope so.

I really hope so.

Hang in there, Darius!

Who are you, guy?

Livy, son of Ismere.

Yes? And I don't remember you at all.

Is he finished?

Did you kill him?

No, he was not alone.

But next time he won't run away!

There will be no next time, Hjarba!

I decided to face the truth!

You're late.

First you will have to face this sword.

But... but you...

You must be crazy.

I? I'm completely normal!

This is the sword of Darius!

...and you will die by his sword!

- Hide the horses and wait for me here! - Fine.

- Aglaya! - Darius!!!

- Oh, Darius! - Aglaya!

Oh Darius...

How long have I been waiting for this!

But I hoped things would be different.

Why Darius?

Has anything changed between us?

My father died, Aglaya.

And I came to avenge him.

Avenge him!?

But, Darius, no one is responsible for his death!

- Your father committed suicide. - No!

My father was killed.

And I know who is responsible!

Darius, you don't know what you're talking about.

It was my father who found his body. He said it was suicide!

Your father lied to you!

I...

Aglaya, I know I have to tell you this...

...let this influence our future!

Are you there, Darius?

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Is he yours?

- What do you want? - Do you recognize this sword?

This is my father's sword!

Was it with this sword that you killed Milan?

No!

Father! Father!

- Father... - You're lying!

Four attacked me and I killed three of them. But Milan was not there!

I would recognize Aglaya's father!

The one who escaped should be arrested!

You will appear in court!

You should be arrested! You are the fourth one!

Arrest him!

On whose orders are you arresting me?

By order of Hjarba!

By order of my father's killer! First you killed my father...

...now you want to do the same to me!

Trying to frame me for a crime which I didn't do!

We have proof that that you killed Milan!

This is not true! Trust me, Aglaya!

I... I didn't kill your father!

- Trust me! - No! How can I trust you, Darius...

How if I hate that night when did you come back?!

I heard you talk about revenge and only now I realized...

...that you hated my father and killed him with your father's sword!

- Leave! Get out of here! - Take him away!

Follow him!

- Grab it! - Don't let him get away!

Don't miss out!

- They were waiting for him! - We can’t catch up with him!

- What's happened? - He escaped from the guards.

Well, find him! Please try to bring it back here!

Alive or dead!

Your pain is also mine, Aglaya.

Know that your father and I were close.

If you really were your father's true friend, avenge him!

I promise, Aglaya! I'll do it for him!

And for your sake... Love for someone more than anything!

Please, Hjarba!

I know this is not the right time.

But I want you to understand that she was not left alone.

You can always count on me...

...and for the love that I was always denied.

I just want you to love me...

-...how I love you. - Yes, I understand.

And I am grateful... But please, Hjarba, not now!

As you wish. I can be patient.

...and I will prove it to you, Aglaya, in your home!

Now it is your new home!

You can't stay here!

The enemies have already made their way here! Now nothing can stop them!

You are in danger, Aglaya.

And I have to take care of you.

Your father would have asked me for this.

It was the last one what was he talking about?

There is no need to be afraid.

Until your heart tells you another solution...

...I will only be your faithful and devoted friend.

- We did it! - Thank you, Livy!

You saved my life for the second time!

I never doubted that you will be able to escape.

That's why I just waited and didn't interfere.

Hjarba will die, Livy! Now you can believe in it too!

He will die trying to endanger my life!

Like all other citizens, I despise Hjarb!

Just like you!

- You can count on me, Darius! - Hjarba is powerful.

We alone can do little.

So I'll find friends - five gladiators...

...who are more than about their lives, care about freedom...

And I'm sure they haven't forgotten about it yet. Forward!

You dirty tavern owner! Get out of here!

And take this with you!

All my wine! All supplies! This drunkard is going to ruin me!

The drunkard is probably Flaccus! Let's go!

He's taken over my tavern! I can't stop him!

- There’s no way I can handle him! - Shut up!

Please help me! Do something!

You must call the guards to take this man away!

But why call the guards?

I let him help me carry the barrels...

...but when we're done, he kicked me out of my own tavern!

And now he says he won't make it until all the barrels are empty.

Don't be afraid! I'll get him out of there!

No! Don't go there alone! He's terribly dangerous when he's drunk!

He's crazy! I already know him!

Well, I know him too, and much better than you!

- Look after this, Livy! - Yes!

Hey! Will you come out on your own or should I drag you out of there?

Darius!

You old drunk!

Hey! Tavern owner!

I present to you the most exciting spectacle!

Listen to me!

For a very small amount...

...each of you will have the right to fight with the most famous gladiator all over the world!

Will any of you be able to pin me against these blades?

I am ready to fight against any two people nominated by you!

Two against one! In the battle to the bitter end!

- Isn't it his father who will kill him? “That’s what the crowd wants to see.

” What, are you all cowards?

Think!

It only takes one coin for the right to kill a gladiator...

And if I die, then everything goes to the winner!

Get started!

Enough, cowards! Enough, cowards!

Stop it, you despicable scoundrels! Take the money and leave!

Badus!

Darius!

Are you here!

Four people want to see you, master.

They say they are your friends.

I have no friends.

Tell them I'm gone.

Darius!

But it can't be Xeno!

What are you and these criminal animals laughing at?

O hell of love vision!

You are more beautiful than the most beautiful gardens!

May I express my admiration for your dazzling radiance?

Did you hear that, Xeno?

Stop pestering my wife!

- Do you have a wife?! - Well, of course!

- Congratulations! - Shut up!

Xeno, we came because that our plans require your help.

Well... You see, Darius...

...I am now a peaceful person.

Yes, sure...

We're wasting our time with him! What can we expect here?

You are right! He's not the same anymore!

Let's go!

What did they want?

Wait for me, friends!

Xeno, where are you going?

That's better! Let's go!

Xeno, where are you going? Where are you going, my love?

We must go to Hydre! We'll probably find Panorgus there.

Soldiers! Soldiers are approaching!

Father, Khyabr's mercenaries will be here in a second!

Know that you won’t get freedom, just running!

Come on, come inside!

Hey you! Come!

Can you hear me?

I'm talking to you!

We have come to take a share of the grain, destined for Hyabre!

And we have no time to waste!

There's no grain here!

You must have it!

And you must pay tribute just like everyone else!

What's your name?

What's your name?

My name is Panorgus!

Darius!

Come here! Let's celebrate your arrival!

- Let's chase them! - No!

Let them run away!

Let them report to Hjarba!

-Where is Flaccus? - Flaccus!

Flaccus!

Well, what did I say?

Oh, Panorgus!

What hospitality! What a wonderful wine!

Wait a minute, Flaccus! Calm down!

Well, Panorgus!

We need you to defeat our common enemy.

Will you join us?

Forever!

- And forever! - Forever!

- And forever! - And forever...

Forever!

And me forever!

Now is the time to get Vargas out of the arena.

It won't be that easy How did we escape from the arena?

If anyone enters the arena of Hjarba... ...he never returns alive!

Have you all forgotten that Darius is with us?

Have you ever wondered where he is now? In Athens?

You know, I was thinking...

...that unlike us thieves, Vargus will try to find a regular job...

...and not continue doing the same thing.

Why? Don't you like your job?

Well, at least I steal, but I remain free!

He's clearly not that successful at this. once again performs in the arena as a gladiator!

For the first time there were so few spectators.

They know Darius has returned.

Do you think Darius had something to do with the Khidra massacre?

I'm sure! I can swear to it!

What do you think, Aglaya?

About what?

Perhaps our conversation has bored you?

Of course it annoys me.

Aglaya is right, Macrobius.

We came here because that you promised us something different.

And I will keep my word.

You will witness an amazing spectacle of execution...

...another gladiator...

...who robbed all the Greeks...

...and gained more gold, than I have.

His name is Vargus.

Open the gate!

Are you satisfied?

Hmm...

And you?

I'm not interested in watching how to kill a person.

- I can kill Hjarb with my knife. - Wait!

- But why? Nobody will see anything! - Not now! Wait!

Not the right moment!

Finish the fight!

Leo!

Lion!

Release the lion!

Darius!

Here, Vargus!

Gladiators!

Let's leave!

I could have killed him! Why did you stop me?

- I don't know. - But I know!

- You love him! - No, I despise him!

And I will prove it, Hjarba, by becoming your bride.

My wedding gift will be the head of your father's killer.

Father!

Licia! Licia.

Darius, you're wounded!

Nothing serious. Simple scratch.

Mold a little...

Enough... Thank you!

We only have bread, so I suggest we eat it all.

You worthless fool!

He escaped!

You missed it again!

And I warn you, Macrobius! I created you, but I will send you back rot in the quarries where I found it!

You're right - he ran again.

But now we need to hire new people to replace the killed guards.

That's the mistake!

You can never make people obey if you show that you are afraid of them!

So what should I do?

I don't know! I don't even want to know!

As long as Darius lives, he will remain a threat to me and for all of us.

People are already talking about him how about a hero!

They talk about how easy it is Darius will overthrow me.

We can't let Darius become a legend!

Find him!

Find where he's hiding then I will tell you how to get rid of them!

You wouldn't last long as a gladiator.

Really? But I don’t think so!

Then you will feel it on your own skin! You must learn to survive in the arena!

Flaccus! What's happened?

What is this?

Guilt!

- You deceived us! - Idiot!

Don't you want a drink?

Xeno, why are you wasting time on all this preening?

There are only men here!

Except Licia!

If this is for Licia...

...then you can safely grow a beard.

Her eyes stop only... on Daria.

Yes, I know. I'm not blind.

Better explain to me why you keep practicing with a knife...

...if you know that no one will attack us today?

Well, naturally, to stay in shape!

So I preen myself for the same thing!

If I let myself go, then when I return home, my wife will refuse from me.

She is very sensitive! And very demanding!

And besides... There’s nothing to do anyway!

Well, now let me get better!

How beautiful! Can I have a look?

- Take it for yourself! - Thank you!

You know, there's such a nice simplicity to it.

- Oh, so I'm hopeless? - No, that's not what I said!

I will always carry it with me. I know that he will bring me good luck.

Until now, luck has not smiled on me.

It's because you didn't accept it.

If you are unlucky, you only have yourself to blame.

The day we came for Vargus...

...Flaccus was ready to finish off Hjarb. There was a great opportunity and we everyone is witness to this.

But you didn't want to! When do you hope to get another chance like this?

First, Hjarba must confess to Aglaya!

What a beautiful name! Who is Aglaya?

The woman whose name I repeated every time I entered the arena.

- This is the name that I loved so much... - What now?

Don't you love her anymore?

Bread and water are good but meat is still better!

Where did you steal this animal?

How rude! I'm bringing you meat...

...and you call me a thief!

So know this - I bought it!

Well, why didn’t you buy wine then!?

The wine shops are closed - you've already drunk everything in them!

Go ahead, kill her!

Poor pig! She's crying as if I understood you.

What does "poor" mean? Don't be such a fool!

- Well, come on! Cut her! - No...

I'm not very good at things like this. This is not for me!

Look at him! As if he had never seen blood!

Flaccus!

You're wrong again! I'm not hungry at all.

I'm dying of thirst!

And you?

- No! Not you! - That's not why I'm here! Deliver me!

No.

No!

So it’s you!

Thank you very much! But I'm afraid that she's too skinny.

But if you want, you can eat it yourself!

The only animal the one I'm interested in is Hjarba!

Oh, shut up!

You always break your heart at the wrong moment!

Now get out until I eat you alive!

I told you not to bring these people here in chains!

I told you they are my old friends!

You know we only came here because we were in chains.

You also know that we were never your friends!

Well, it's time to make friends, dear Mylus.

Don't talk about friendship! You are no one's friend!

Power has gone to your head!

Maybe you're right... noble Mylus.

We are not friends, but still we could unite...

...and fight together for the good of Sparta!

For the good of Sparta? Do you mean - for the humiliation of her people...

...for robbing us! For that to starve us to death to the last person!

I'm warning you, Mylus!

I'm too old to listen to you!

What about everyone else?

Do you all agree with him?

Are you refusing to cooperate with me?

Speak!

Silence speaks for you!

I can only consider you as traitors! Traitors!

Maybe being in prison will help you decide which side you're on!

You are either with me or against me!

Take them away!

Hjarba!

- Where are they? - I found them.

Well, let's go!

This time I can't let them escape!

I completely surrounded them!

Now they're trapped from which there is no loophole!

And tonight we attack!

Glad to see you happy.

I'm useful to you. Very helpful.

I would even say - irreplaceable!

And I must reward you.

Take it!

Is something wrong?

You can't buy my loyalty just like that!

You're playing with fire, Hjarba!

It's time for you to understand the difference between friends and servants!

Friends should be appreciated!

I assure you!

And what is your price?

Let's not talk about price.

We're friends...

We shared many secrets and worked together.

Why not collaborate together for the good of Sparta, and for ours your own good?

Why not?

Milan is dead that's where he belongs!

But I want to stay with you to continue your business.

Are you showing me your affection?

But it may evaporate if we do not strike back, Hjarba.

You will be pleased, Macrobius. Now - go!

You will get what you deserve.

Macrobius?!

Who did this to you?

Aglaya...

Don't trust him! He's a liar!

He is the one who killed your father.

Who? Who killed him?

- Hjarba... - Hjarba?!

Yes... Darius is innocent.

Innocent! Where is he now? Tell me!

He's... in the village.

In which village? Tell me please!

He's in the village.

He...

- I know you. You are Aglaya. - Do you know me?

- You are Milan's daughter. - What's your name?

Licia. I am the daughter of Panorgus.

What do you want? Seems, you are looking for something.

- Where is Darius? - I'm very sorry, but he's not here.

Oh, but I have to find him! Will he be back soon?

Darius will never return here!

Please go away!

Or do you want to accuse him of another crime?

No.

I was blinded by my father's death.

This is the only reason why she unfairly accused Darius.

Now I just want to ask for his forgiveness.

It's too late!

Darius doesn't love you anymore.

Yes, I know.

But I would like to see him at least for a second!

Because in my heart I never stopped loving him.

- And even when they hated him? - Yes... Yes! Always!

You can't even imagine!

You can't imagine how much I suffered.

Do you think that Darius did not suffer?

Oh yes! I know!

Please tell me where he is! I beg you!

Leave!

Don't destroy that little happiness that we built together.

You have no right! But now I have all the rights!

Because I love Darius!

And we'll get married!

Are you saying that Darius...

Yes, he said...

He said that we would get married.

He even made this figurine for me.

Go away!

You don't mean anything to him anymore!

- Please tell him... - No!

I won't tell him anything! Please go away!

Don't go! I don't know why I said this!

This is all untrue!

Darius loves you, not me!

Let me go!

Before you set off, wrap the horses' hooves so that their noise is not heard.

They can hear any outside noise!

I understand!

You will approach the village only at sunset.

But you will begin the attack only after when you are absolutely sure that they are all asleep!

No one can escape if you attack them in the morning while they are sleeping.

And no one should escape!

Now - go!

Forward!

I wanted to ask you for forgiveness...

...for unfairly suspecting you.

- But I lied to her and kicked her out. - Why did you send her away?

- What did you tell her? - I said...

- I told her... - Well, what then?

- No! No need! - I wanted to say...

But I can't!

Don't go, Licia! It doesn't matter! I don't even want to know!

Don't go, Licia!

Here's the woman for you!

I'm glad Aglaya found out the truth!

Soon everyone will recognize her.

When do you plan to attack the fortress?

We'll attack them tomorrow night.

After everything we've seen the plan could be as follows...

Here is the Hjarba fortress.

As you know, it is protected on all sides except one...

...which is the most impregnable.

There the mercenaries set up their camp.

We will split into two groups.

Vargus, Flaccus and I...

...we will distract the mercenaries, and for as long as possible.

Darius!

I was thinking about your plan.

I thought we agreed. Why don't you like him, Flaccus?

Oh no! I know he's good.

I think this is a very good plan.

But tell me, do you still want to let Hjarb live?

No.

Now that Aglaya knows who killed her father, we can do with him, anything.

I never understood why you helped me in the arena.

But if I get the chance my knife will find a purpose to help you.

Why don't you go to bed?

I will soon relieve Livy on guard.

- What's the matter? - Patrols appeared outside the village.

They drive slowly and you can hardly hear their horses. Let's go!

- Where are they? - Over there.

These are their spies!

We will greet them with respect!

They wanted to surprise us.

But we will surprise them! Hurry up! There's no time to waste!

It's your turn, Livy.

Calm down, Livy!

Come on, Livy!

Darius, watch out!

Thank you!

- Thank you, Licia! - Now will you forgive me?

Forgive for what?

I don't remember!

Bye!

-Where are you going? - I'm going home.

Friends...

I don't care about the bed anymore...

...my massage and I understand that such a life is not filled with sweets.

I don't even shave now!

But there are limits, right?

I refuse to sleep next to these bodies!

I can't sleep in a cemetery!

My nose is too sensitive!

You won't have to sleep tonight, Xeno.

We won't wait for the morning to attack the fortress.

Hjarba will pay for his crimes before the sun rises!

Don't expect to see Darius again.

He's already dead.

My soldiers have only one order...

-...kill him! - Kill, kill!

Always just “kill”!

Here's your job! You are a killer!

First Jacco... then my father...

Now - Darius!

I was left alone. So, continue!

Or are you afraid to kill me?

No!

You must live for my pleasure!

- We'll get married. - What?!

How could I marry a man who killed my father?!

- Macrobius lied! - A dying person has no reason to lie!

Don't touch me! You disgust me!

I can wait.

Time will show that I'm right.

And I, my dear, I have much more time than Darius!

Follow me!

Stay here, Licia! And don't be afraid!

You'll see, everything will be fine!

Hurry, Flaccus! Hurry!

The people rebelled and attacked the fortress.

This is impossible! People will never go against me!

He's too afraid of me!

What is happening below cannot be the work of a few gladiators!

Attack!

Send all the soldiers out of the fortress and push them out!

Don't just stand there! Do what what are you getting paid for? Go!

What are you doing there? Get out!

Darius!

You?

So, are you still alive?

Yes, but you don't have long left!

Don't move! I wouldn't go near...

You better stop, Darius, if you still love her.

I will always love her!

Let's go!

So, there you are!

Come on!

Go!

Move!

- Forward! - No!

Flaccus!

Go! Or I'll kill you!

Darius!

No! Darius!

No!

No! No!

No!

- Vargus! - Go!

Hjarba is dead!

The tyrant is dead!

Hjarba is dead!

Dad!

Finally we are free!

I can't calm down after this girl's death!

Her death was not meaningless.

Now we will establish true democracy and there will be peace and freedom throughout Sparta!

Hey Darius!

Panorgus! Vargus! Flaccus!

Livy! Xeno!

Goodbye, Darius!

Best wishes!

We will meet again!
