00:00:56,093 --> 00:01:02,870
THE FIGHT FOR ROME
PART I

2
00:02:32,185 --> 00:02:36,122
<i>When the Germanic peoples began their
their great migration to the south,</i>

3
00:02:36,441 --> 00:02:38,197
<i>The Roman Empire fell apart.</i>

4
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,885
<i>Rome, the capital of the former empire,
had become a fortress, ready for defense.</i>

5
00:02:45,169 --> 00:02:49,056
The remains of the defeated Roman legions
they retreated behind the fortifications.</i>

6
00:02:50,278 --> 00:02:52,987
<i>But the victorious army of the Goths,
led by King Theodoric,</i>

7
00:02:53,337 --> 00:02:55,315
<i>followed the legions
to the city gates.</i>

8
00:02:59,195 --> 00:03:02,402
- Finally, here is Rome!
- The future capital of the Goths, sire!

9
00:03:02,801 --> 00:03:04,622
No, Hildebrand, it will just be
a garrison of the Goths.

10
00:03:05,044 --> 00:03:09,465
We will not carry the torches of war in Rome either.
We bring peace to Rome.

11
00:03:09,466 --> 00:03:11,546
It will be so only if our flag
will fly over Rome.

12
00:03:11,702 --> 00:03:13,736
Why do I have unnecessary wounds?
the pride of the Romanians?

13
00:03:14,052 --> 00:03:17,057
A Gothic garrison in the city
it is enough for our defense.

14
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:20,890
Not a drop will fall
for the submission of Rome.

15
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:23,609
To Ravenna!

16
00:03:23,859 --> 00:03:29,411
This is how Theodoric conquered the Roman Empire
of the West and established the Great Kingdom of the Goths,</i>

17
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:33,520
which stretched from the Alps to Naples,
having Ravenna as its seat.</i>

18
00:03:34,112 --> 00:03:38,694
The capital of the Eastern Roman Empire
it was Byzantium, today's Constantinople.</i>

19
00:03:39,114 --> 00:03:42,916
<i>The Byzantine Empire had allied itself with the conqueror of Italy.</i>

20
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:47,344
Peace reigned for 32 years,
under the rule of the wise Theodoric.</i>

21
00:03:47,545 --> 00:03:53,184
<i>Until, one night, in Ravenna it started
the tragedy of the Goths, which brought them the end.</i>

22
00:04:25,008 --> 00:04:28,187
Hildebrand, give me the sword!

23
00:04:40,424 --> 00:04:42,741
I worry about my kingdom.

24
00:04:43,086 --> 00:04:48,099
The Goth people to stand closely united,
let my kingdom remain undivided,

25
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,273
and as heir to the throne...

26
00:04:56,437 --> 00:04:58,093
...I call him...

27
00:05:19,606 --> 00:05:25,055
- The ruler of Italy is dead!
- May the Lord have mercy on his soul!

28
00:05:35,961 --> 00:05:40,034
You have heard the king's last command.
The kingdom of the Goths must remain united.

29
00:05:40,235 --> 00:05:42,698
Only one of his daughters
will wear the crown.

30
00:05:43,056 --> 00:05:44,961
I am ready.

31
00:06:03,953 --> 00:06:06,915
ROME

32
00:06:07,344 --> 00:06:08,157
Friends!

33
00:06:10,516 --> 00:06:13,315
I have a sad but important news.

34
00:06:15,352 --> 00:06:23,809
Theodoric the Great, king of the Goths
and the protector of Rome, died.

35
00:06:24,924 --> 00:06:27,199
Better news than you could
give us, Cethegus!

36
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,826
Theodoric was a wise man,
just and merciful.

37
00:06:32,709 --> 00:06:36,266
There was only one flaw:
he lived too long.

38
00:06:36,684 --> 00:06:38,501
This will benefit us in the relationship with his successor.

39
00:06:38,807 --> 00:06:41,767
- Now we can destroy the barbarians.
- Let's storm the Gothic garrison!

40
00:06:41,961 --> 00:06:45,655
- Cethegus, let's use this opportunity!
- We must attack!

41
00:06:45,852 --> 00:06:47,830
Not yet, my friend! Not now.

42
00:06:48,506 --> 00:06:49,862
Let's wait for the right moment.
That's what we'll do.

43
00:06:50,163 --> 00:06:51,402
But... Cethegus!

44
00:06:51,603 --> 00:06:53,547
We still cannot defeat the barbarians.

45
00:06:53,848 --> 00:06:55,794
But we must be prepared.

46
00:06:57,263 --> 00:06:59,793
I will sail to Byzantium, I want to go there
to negotiate with the emperor Justinian

47
00:06:59,994 --> 00:07:04,194
and with empress Teodora, but especially
with the powerful general Narses.

48
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,177
As long as the Romanians are not allowed
to bear arms,

49
00:07:07,493 --> 00:07:10,072
we will stick to our vow with the Goths.

50
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:14,948
But to gain strength again,
we need the support of Byzantium.

51
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:17,857
And when we have regained our strength...

52
00:07:18,774 --> 00:07:21,806
we chase them to the sea, these
"friends" and "defenders" of Rome!

53
00:07:22,129 --> 00:07:23,531
Yes, we will!

54
00:07:23,632 --> 00:07:25,509
Because that's what we live for.

55
00:07:26,528 --> 00:07:27,864
For a free Rome.

56
00:07:31,114 --> 00:07:34,262
- For Rome!
- For Rome!

57
00:07:34,726 --> 00:07:39,541
I am the rightful queen of the Goths
and I will never give up the throne!

58
00:07:39,813 --> 00:07:41,072
I'm not giving up either!

59
00:07:41,173 --> 00:07:42,907
The Crown Council will have its say.

60
00:07:43,208 --> 00:07:46,453
- He will choose me as queen.
- He won't do it!

61
00:07:48,119 --> 00:07:49,444
Men of the Crown Council
they are all my friends.

62
00:07:49,645 --> 00:07:52,655
Not one would dare deny me
the right to the throne.

63
00:07:53,285 --> 00:07:56,369
I warn you with all friendship,
my dear Matasunta!

64
00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:59,363
If you ever endanger me
me and my subjects,

65
00:08:00,699 --> 00:08:03,414
i could forget that you are my sister.

66
00:08:05,174 --> 00:08:06,999
They haven't even buried him yet
on King Theodoric,

67
00:08:07,869 --> 00:08:10,498
and his daughters are fighting for the throne.
We are in danger.

68
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:13,168
I called you all
to make an oath.

69
00:08:13,369 --> 00:08:15,778
May the kingdom of the Goths remain united!
Forever!

70
00:08:16,514 --> 00:08:18,403
We put our lives on hold.

71
00:08:20,463 --> 00:08:21,459
Then let us swear:

72
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,697
In times of hardship we will sacrifice
house, garden and wealth, wife and child,

73
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:27,805
body and soul

74
00:08:28,607 --> 00:08:30,189
for the undivided kingdom of the Goths!

75
00:08:31,379 --> 00:08:32,893
Let's swear...

76
00:08:33,906 --> 00:08:35,422
... on Theodoric's sword!

77
00:08:36,267 --> 00:08:40,098
- I swear!
- I swear!

78
00:08:41,077 --> 00:08:44,219
BYZANT

79
00:09:18,791 --> 00:09:20,182
Enough, disappear!

80
00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:32,139
If I did not honor your unfeigned grief
for the death of the king of the Goths,

81
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,982
I would look even happier

82
00:09:34,183 --> 00:09:37,208
of the fact that the most powerful and beloved
a citizen of Rome is my guest.

83
00:09:37,581 --> 00:09:41,621
Before negotiating with Justinian,
the path brought me to you

84
00:09:42,541 --> 00:09:45,915
I would like to offer you my friendship,
General Narses. We have common interests.

85
00:09:46,216 --> 00:09:49,173
I would appreciate your enmity more,
noble Cethegus.

86
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:51,715
Isn't that right, Cato?

87
00:09:52,983 --> 00:09:54,133
Xenophanes!

88
00:09:54,831 --> 00:09:56,050
Cato's nose stinks.

89
00:09:56,251 --> 00:09:58,219
Give him raw meat to eat
or do anything else,

90
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,564
just save me from this stench!
- Get him out of here!

91
00:10:05,552 --> 00:10:08,886
And light some scented candles,
it stank all the air!

92
00:10:17,401 --> 00:10:21,515
We are both the same
as power of mind, Cethegus.

93
00:10:21,857 --> 00:10:26,235
But as for the other forces,
I'm afraid you're at a disadvantage.

94
00:10:28,672 --> 00:10:31,358
Then let us leave it to Narses
battlefield,

95
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:33,470
and to Cethegus the realm of diplomacy.

96
00:10:33,819 --> 00:10:35,887
Don't underestimate me.

97
00:10:36,088 --> 00:10:39,433
My ambition can be measured
in any respect with yours.

98
00:10:40,236 --> 00:10:42,363
Not with my dreams,
General Narses.

99
00:10:44,709 --> 00:10:48,245
You are a dreamer with very clear goals,
which commands my respect.

100
00:10:48,825 --> 00:10:50,479
And you are a very sharp man.

101
00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:53,740
Were you saying something about common interests?

102
00:10:54,041 --> 00:10:55,845
Yes, since we are rivals,
dear general

103
00:10:56,405 --> 00:10:58,110
We both value the same thing:

104
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,979
On Rome.

105
00:11:00,984 --> 00:11:02,885
You are very direct, Cethegus.

106
00:11:02,886 --> 00:11:05,800
If I wasn't like that in front of you,
I would only deceive myself.

107
00:11:06,258 --> 00:11:07,935
That's right, I don't deny it.

108
00:11:08,239 --> 00:11:10,057
I don't like the goth flag.

109
00:11:10,409 --> 00:11:12,346
For too long
fly over Rome.

110
00:11:12,647 --> 00:11:15,297
I think the emperor's flag
would fit better.

111
00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:21,275
It would undoubtedly be an aesthetic gain.

112
00:11:24,241 --> 00:11:25,960
You're welcome.

113
00:11:26,608 --> 00:11:31,318
Tell me, Cethegus, what it means
the whole flag waving thing?

114
00:11:31,661 --> 00:11:34,595
I want it on top of the Capitol
to fly a single flag.

115
00:11:35,333 --> 00:11:36,231
That of Rome.

116
00:11:36,982 --> 00:11:39,571
My dream could come true.
Come to Rome as a liberator.

117
00:11:40,662 --> 00:11:42,260
And as my enemy, general.

118
00:11:42,777 --> 00:11:44,811
It's a very funny proposition.

119
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:48,810
The Battle for Rome
it will be given only between the two of us.

120
00:11:49,227 --> 00:11:51,821
My plan would only speed things up.

121
00:11:52,692 --> 00:11:55,235
To be clear, the emperor is the one
what would they decide on your proposal.

122
00:11:55,434 --> 00:11:57,365
I am completely of the same opinion.

123
00:11:58,561 --> 00:12:00,799
You are the emperor of Byzantium, general.

124
00:12:02,065 --> 00:12:04,308
Apart from the proteges of the divine empress.

125
00:12:04,609 --> 00:12:08,261
But what would be your next step
in the realm of diplomacy?

126
00:12:09,378 --> 00:12:11,719
To convince Empress Theodora

127
00:12:12,608 --> 00:12:13,802
that Byzantium would have lost,

128
00:12:14,288 --> 00:12:16,296
if the Goths continued to rule Rome.

129
00:12:17,758 --> 00:12:19,519
I could be the queen of the goths

130
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:23,001
to show great interest
of Byzantine territories.

131
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:25,805
I am a very persuasive man, Narses.

132
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:28,023
That's right, Romanian.

133
00:12:30,886 --> 00:12:32,376
I'm on your side.

134
00:12:34,249 --> 00:12:35,945
I don't want to spoil your games.

135
00:12:37,858 --> 00:12:42,055
It happens miraculously that the empress
waiting for you tonight

136
00:12:44,074 --> 00:12:45,596
Yes, that's right.

137
00:12:45,997 --> 00:12:48,195
I allowed myself to remind him
of your arrival.

138
00:12:48,596 --> 00:12:51,219
I think you haven't seen each other again
since your first meeting.

139
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,636
This happened in Alexandria,
isn't it?

140
00:12:54,187 --> 00:12:55,691
You are well informed.

141
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,839
The prowess of the empress in the bedroom
and in the throne room it remained the same.

142
00:13:00,293 --> 00:13:02,750
Many men enjoyed themselves
with her skill in the bedroom,

143
00:13:03,051 --> 00:13:06,363
but there are few who did not lose
out of sight and the other endowments.

144
00:13:06,775 --> 00:13:08,704
I hope you will spend an evening
full of joy.

145
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:12,262
And Rome will benefit from it.

146
00:14:01,140 --> 00:14:02,635
Great empress!

147
00:14:02,936 --> 00:14:06,197
Forgive me, Cethegus,
that I receive you so late.

148
00:14:06,516 --> 00:14:08,510
But also at our first meeting
it was the same.

149
00:14:08,811 --> 00:14:10,921
Empress Augusta wishes
to remember that meeting?

150
00:14:11,298 --> 00:14:13,567
Why should we forget anything
what does everyone know?

151
00:14:14,575 --> 00:14:16,591
I have no secrets from the emperor.

152
00:14:17,877 --> 00:14:19,487
Justinian is enviable.

153
00:14:20,154 --> 00:14:22,007
He took the goddess of love as his wife.

154
00:14:22,221 --> 00:14:24,341
And he made her the empress of Byzantium.

155
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:27,911
- For a goddess it's decay.
- It's possible.

156
00:14:28,603 --> 00:14:30,910
But for Byzantium it is a great gain.

157
00:14:32,526 --> 00:14:33,783
You haven't changed at all, Cethegus.

158
00:14:33,984 --> 00:14:37,022
Neither do you, as I can see, thankfully.

159
00:14:38,939 --> 00:14:43,252
Yes, Cethegus. It's true.

160
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:50,047
Forgive me, but here we are
in the emperor's palace.

161
00:14:59,477 --> 00:15:02,050
Justinian is a pious man.

162
00:15:02,737 --> 00:15:04,376
And therefore full of wisdom
and gentleness.

163
00:15:05,713 --> 00:15:08,985
In his magnanimity, he overlooks
a woman's nose.

164
00:15:09,238 --> 00:15:12,904
But luckily it's still just as responsive
and to her charms.

165
00:15:13,691 --> 00:15:15,629
I'm relieved to hear that.

166
00:15:16,798 --> 00:15:21,360
And like all great wise men,
he respects his wife.

167
00:15:21,856 --> 00:15:23,233
He respects her advice...

168
00:15:23,982 --> 00:15:24,987
...and wishes.

169
00:15:30,623 --> 00:15:33,160
The emperor was pleased to grant me
an audience tomorrow.

170
00:15:33,725 --> 00:15:35,492
That will be the official part.

171
00:15:36,343 --> 00:15:37,848
The one here - no.

172
00:15:50,147 --> 00:15:52,667
I was really hoping you would prepare me
for tomorrow.

173
00:16:11,606 --> 00:16:19,479
Cethegus Caesarius, of Julian stock,
patrician and ambassador of Rome.

174
00:16:38,345 --> 00:16:39,279
Emperor Augustus!

175
00:16:41,009 --> 00:16:42,228
Empress Augusta!

176
00:16:43,535 --> 00:16:45,601
I greet you from Rome

177
00:16:46,327 --> 00:16:50,347
and I express my humble gratitude
for the given audience.

178
00:16:55,888 --> 00:16:59,394
Be glorified, General Belisarius!

179
00:17:00,121 --> 00:17:02,093
I am so glad to find you healthy.

180
00:17:02,294 --> 00:17:04,284
He told me exactly the same.

181
00:17:04,741 --> 00:17:06,635
He is a skilled diplomat
our Romanian guest.

182
00:17:07,302 --> 00:17:10,462
Before I knew it, it made me
to take his problems as mine

183
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:11,872
and mine as his.

184
00:17:12,173 --> 00:17:15,746
And what problems would he like to solve
and in what way?

185
00:17:16,142 --> 00:17:17,507
Glorified!

186
00:17:18,057 --> 00:17:22,155
It is a question
of equal importance for Rome and Byzantium.

187
00:17:22,620 --> 00:17:23,423
How?

188
00:17:23,864 --> 00:17:26,152
I'm afraid they've become goths
a serious problem.

189
00:17:26,626 --> 00:17:28,971
After Theodoric's death they will become
a threat not only to Rome...

190
00:17:29,272 --> 00:17:32,285
Are you saying that Rome and Byzantium should...

191
00:17:32,586 --> 00:17:34,880
Our alliance, glorious empress,
it would be the most natural connection.

192
00:17:35,281 --> 00:17:38,255
Of course. Rome would reap the benefits,
and Byzantium would bear the whole burden.

193
00:17:38,722 --> 00:17:40,056
The danger is not yet imminent.

194
00:17:41,148 --> 00:17:43,754
For now it's enmity
between Theodoric's daughters.

195
00:17:44,003 --> 00:17:46,886
Animosity that could soon subside.

196
00:17:47,458 --> 00:17:50,636
One more reason to take advantage of the situation,
as long as we can.

197
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:57,390
Noble Cethegus, I am overworked
with the creation of an exhaustive corpus of laws,

198
00:17:57,928 --> 00:18:00,435
as well as with the construction of a new one
houses of the Lord,

199
00:18:01,364 --> 00:18:05,591
of the largest church built
ever, to the glory of Jesus Christ.

200
00:18:06,106 --> 00:18:09,084
This is not the time to commit
some insignificant things.

201
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,867
That's quite something
for military strategists.

202
00:18:14,856 --> 00:18:17,204
Enter the duties of General Narses.

203
00:18:18,057 --> 00:18:20,408
I think a small army would be enough.

204
00:18:20,826 --> 00:18:22,095
Do you really believe that, General?

205
00:18:22,464 --> 00:18:26,094
No, he doesn't believe it.
He just thinks he knows it.

206
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:29,158
The novel has the gift of persuasion.

207
00:18:30,916 --> 00:18:32,554
So it seems.

208
00:18:33,093 --> 00:18:35,324
I spoke to the emperor about all this.

209
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:39,247
Very thorough.
And here is our decision:

210
00:18:42,172 --> 00:18:44,664
We do not want to violate
existing agreements with the Goths.

211
00:18:44,965 --> 00:18:49,736
- But if they show themselves hostile...
- Then we will change our policy.

212
00:18:51,648 --> 00:18:54,937
His Majesty the Emperor made a wise decision.

213
00:18:57,814 --> 00:19:03,408
Remark on our wisdom
it borders on impertinence.

214
00:19:04,487 --> 00:19:09,061
My decision is wiser
than you reckon, Cethegus.

215
00:19:09,636 --> 00:19:10,713
come

216
00:19:11,889 --> 00:19:13,124
Let us pray.

217
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:42,914
Long live the queen of the Goths!

218
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:45,474
Long live Queen Amalasunta!

219
00:19:51,546 --> 00:19:54,197
I did not see my sister, Matasunta,
at the coronation.

220
00:19:54,632 --> 00:19:56,633
- Be lenient with her, Your Highness!
- I will be.

221
00:19:57,034 --> 00:19:59,692
But only until tonight
when I'm waiting for her at the party.

222
00:20:00,155 --> 00:20:02,053
- Did you understand?
- Yes, Your Highness.

223
00:20:09,014 --> 00:20:11,690
I come at the command of the queen, Princess Matasunta.

224
00:20:11,942 --> 00:20:15,977
She is not a queen to me.
He stole my crown!

225
00:20:16,562 --> 00:20:19,601
And you, Comte Vitiges,
so you are on her side.

226
00:20:19,883 --> 00:20:23,062
My only desire is to prevent
the destruction of the kingdom of the Goths.

227
00:20:23,718 --> 00:20:25,498
That's all I want, princess.

228
00:20:27,334 --> 00:20:30,269
And what would benefit the kingdom
from this injustice?

229
00:20:30,871 --> 00:20:32,587
What does my sister want from me?

230
00:20:33,037 --> 00:20:35,966
You offended your sister by being absent
from the coronation ceremony.

231
00:20:36,267 --> 00:20:40,343
Now the feast begins.
You would do well not to be absent.

232
00:20:42,473 --> 00:20:45,130
I don't even think
to humble myself in front of her.

233
00:20:45,856 --> 00:20:47,687
Don't fight your own fate.

234
00:20:48,058 --> 00:20:50,697
Any woman would find it difficult
to rule like a king.

235
00:20:51,128 --> 00:20:53,362
You were not born to fulfill
the duties of a man,

236
00:20:53,863 --> 00:20:55,647
but you are made for love.

237
00:20:55,848 --> 00:20:59,294
- Do you really believe that, Vitiges?
- Yes, Matasunta.

238
00:21:01,582 --> 00:21:03,550
I believe your words.

239
00:21:04,451 --> 00:21:06,998
out of love
a woman can give up anything.

240
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:09,823
To his royal rank and his intentions.

241
00:21:10,272 --> 00:21:11,523
Because love means power.

242
00:21:12,224 --> 00:21:13,557
Allow me to accompany you.

243
00:21:14,142 --> 00:21:16,117
The feast begins soon.

244
00:21:30,178 --> 00:21:32,940
- Reverend father!
- God bless you!

245
00:21:34,859 --> 00:21:36,672
Be glorified, Belisarius!

246
00:21:37,615 --> 00:21:38,960
How long are you staying in Ravenna?

247
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:41,395
As long as the empress counts
that it's meant to be.

248
00:21:41,796 --> 00:21:44,902
I hope the august empress
is in good condition.

249
00:21:46,031 --> 00:21:48,789
As you are not in Byzantium,
I am convinced of this.

250
00:21:49,255 --> 00:21:51,356
Well done my friend!

251
00:22:00,337 --> 00:22:02,496
Did you tell him where to aim?

252
00:22:04,203 --> 00:22:06,917
Her Majesty the Queen!

253
00:22:33,951 --> 00:22:39,142
General Belisarius, sent
of His Imperial Majesty Justinian,

254
00:22:39,747 --> 00:22:46,089
Cethegus Caesarius, of Julian stock,
representative of our beloved Rome,

255
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:49,163
honorable ambassadors, princes and princes,

256
00:22:49,564 --> 00:22:53,400
you come from the most distant countries
to take part in the coronation,

257
00:22:53,997 --> 00:22:56,518
be trusted
our deep gratitude!

258
00:22:56,867 --> 00:22:59,988
The crown I will wear is heavy,

259
00:23:00,465 --> 00:23:04,011
and I am a proper woman
to perform the duties of a man.

260
00:23:04,690 --> 00:23:08,204
But I will not be able to fulfill my purpose
than relying on your help.

261
00:23:09,053 --> 00:23:11,530
No righteous man would preach
to give you help.

262
00:23:12,031 --> 00:23:13,031
Thank you, Prince Furius.

263
00:23:13,332 --> 00:23:16,938
I know that in your homeland, the island of Corsica,
men value women.

264
00:23:17,388 --> 00:23:19,731
Your words give me hope.

265
00:23:21,231 --> 00:23:26,661
But the most reliable support is me
my beloved sister, His Royal Highness.

266
00:23:27,163 --> 00:23:31,708
On this occasion I have special joy
to announce an engagement.

267
00:23:32,665 --> 00:23:36,320
Princess Matasunta will be the wife
Prince Cyrenius of Rhodes.

268
00:23:36,645 --> 00:23:39,120
So you want to get rid of me by marrying me.

269
00:23:40,575 --> 00:23:44,127
Play queen all you want
you will not obey me!

270
00:23:44,407 --> 00:23:47,260
I will choose my own man
to marry!

271
00:23:53,030 --> 00:23:55,696
Endure, chosen woman, do not worry!

272
00:23:56,206 --> 00:24:01,218
Come to your senses, sorrowful, no doubt,
by those who oppose you, how I break my heart.

273
00:24:01,727 --> 00:24:04,988
How dare you talk to him like that
our queen?!

274
00:24:05,301 --> 00:24:08,548
I only allowed myself to quote Homer.

275
00:24:08,977 --> 00:24:11,381
The Iliad, canto two, verse 180.

276
00:24:12,072 --> 00:24:15,567
Hephaestus eases Hera's pain,
the wife of Zeus.

277
00:24:16,236 --> 00:24:18,190
A queen like you, Amalasunta.

278
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,804
You are very good at quoting from Homer.

279
00:24:21,785 --> 00:24:23,125
Let's drink to the queen's health.

280
00:24:23,453 --> 00:24:26,932
May you reign in peace.
Long live the queen of the Goths!

281
00:24:27,321 --> 00:24:28,216
Hildebrand!

282
00:24:28,811 --> 00:24:31,715
Here I am, Your Highness! don't worry
we catch the traitor.

283
00:24:32,106 --> 00:24:35,245
Guard the gates! Track down the traitor!
Notify all guards!

284
00:24:45,883 --> 00:24:48,360
Hurry up, Arvig, don't get caught!

285
00:24:48,771 --> 00:24:50,962
- The target of the arrow was me, friends!
- What does the novel say?

286
00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:54,106
- The queen's friend and ally.
- Romanians will always hate us!

287
00:24:54,770 --> 00:24:56,593
At the same time the arrow was meant for the queen.

288
00:24:57,762 --> 00:25:01,426
we have the same goals
therefore we have the same enemies.

289
00:25:01,886 --> 00:25:04,639
Tell me, Cethegus,
who are our enemies?

290
00:25:05,274 --> 00:25:08,068
Allow me to speak
face to face with the queen.

291
00:25:25,934 --> 00:25:27,570
What could you expect from a novel?!

292
00:25:27,971 --> 00:25:29,645
Here you can talk without worry, Cethegus.

293
00:25:30,066 --> 00:25:32,323
The arrow was aimed at me, being a Roman.

294
00:25:33,283 --> 00:25:34,628
And because your father was my friend.

295
00:25:34,929 --> 00:25:36,275
But he was also Justinian's friend.

296
00:25:36,806 --> 00:25:39,845
His ally.
It's not the same as friendship.

297
00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:42,953
Your father loved Rome.

298
00:25:43,688 --> 00:25:45,556
And it's not hard to love Rome either.

299
00:25:45,857 --> 00:25:48,543
Byzantium fears that you too
you could do the same.

300
00:25:49,168 --> 00:25:52,138
- Byzantium?!
- He doubts a woman's strength.

301
00:25:52,614 --> 00:25:56,044
I will reign like a king.
The fact that I am a woman is not essential.

302
00:25:57,271 --> 00:25:59,424
Your strength lies in femininity.

303
00:25:59,748 --> 00:26:02,717
With it you conquered Rome...
me too.

304
00:26:06,052 --> 00:26:07,541
Are you telling the truth?

305
00:26:07,945 --> 00:26:10,223
I will always be at your disposal.

306
00:26:15,696 --> 00:26:18,001
I am guarded by friends
faithful to my father.

307
00:26:18,489 --> 00:26:20,385
Friends like you, Cethegus.

308
00:26:21,813 --> 00:26:24,593
Tell me, who's responsible
for this betrayal?

309
00:26:24,904 --> 00:26:27,774
Byzantium?
Or my sister?

310
00:26:28,290 --> 00:26:31,072
Princess Matasunta would not be able to
to be a source of tooling.

311
00:26:31,373 --> 00:26:32,531
So it's a trick!

312
00:26:32,899 --> 00:26:36,692
Despite the elaborate words,
Byzantium wants...

313
00:26:36,941 --> 00:26:39,469
- ...to see your sister on the throne of the Goths.
- Why?

314
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,178
Unlike you, he is a weak man.

315
00:26:42,866 --> 00:26:45,258
It would be just a puppet
in the hands of Byzantium.

316
00:26:45,683 --> 00:26:48,521
My own sister plots against me.

317
00:26:48,904 --> 00:26:51,434
Just a puppet
and nothing more.

318
00:26:52,112 --> 00:26:54,183
I understand, now everything gets a thread.

319
00:26:54,482 --> 00:26:55,958
You opened my eyes.

320
00:26:56,707 --> 00:26:57,838
Thank you, dear friend!

321
00:26:58,470 --> 00:27:00,895
Her disobedience is an act of treason!

322
00:27:03,141 --> 00:27:08,947
- You are a sensitive woman, Maria Ta.
- And luckily, even if you don't believe it!

323
00:27:12,828 --> 00:27:13,963
Butler!

324
00:27:14,717 --> 00:27:18,171
- Command, Your Majesty!
- Call the guard and accompany me!

325
00:27:24,923 --> 00:27:26,471
Guard!

326
00:27:30,237 --> 00:27:33,212
- Who's there?
- The Queen. I want to talk to you!

327
00:27:33,593 --> 00:27:36,899
- But I don't want to!
- I command you to open the door!

328
00:27:47,310 --> 00:27:50,930
Regina, my midnight guest?
To what fact do I owe the honor?

329
00:27:52,607 --> 00:27:54,167
I will have you imprisoned.

330
00:27:54,575 --> 00:27:57,099
- Why do you blame me?
- Treason!

331
00:27:57,497 --> 00:28:01,068
Heavy accusation!
Is the princess's betrayal proven?

332
00:28:01,529 --> 00:28:03,608
An illegitimate queen needs no proof.

333
00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:07,004
- Your words prove your guilt.
- Princess!

334
00:28:07,893 --> 00:28:10,597
All this cannot be
than the scorns of a Roman.

335
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,706
You don't value enough
queen's wisdom.

336
00:28:13,885 --> 00:28:15,242
You will not bend me, Vitiges!

337
00:28:15,643 --> 00:28:17,281
I know well what I'm saying.
The princess hates me!

338
00:28:17,682 --> 00:28:21,378
Ever since I was a child he used to tease me,
because our father loved me more.

339
00:28:21,766 --> 00:28:23,446
You are guilty of treason.

340
00:28:24,931 --> 00:28:26,198
Be generous, Your Majesty!

341
00:28:26,545 --> 00:28:29,828
- Only if he marries Cyrenius!
- I'd rather get death!

342
00:28:30,220 --> 00:28:31,907
Do you remember loving someone else?

343
00:28:32,990 --> 00:28:34,967
I warn you for the last time!

344
00:28:35,514 --> 00:28:38,856
- I was already warned!
- Did you hear? I tried everything!

345
00:28:39,633 --> 00:28:41,912
The punishment will be commensurate with her deeds.

346
00:28:42,403 --> 00:28:44,416
You will be exiled to the island of Bolsena.

347
00:28:44,805 --> 00:28:47,727
You will stay there until you are taught
to obey my will.

348
00:28:48,343 --> 00:28:51,963
Vitiges, you take care like the dawn
to be taken to Bolsena!

349
00:28:59,754 --> 00:29:01,372
It's not the queen's fault.

350
00:29:02,290 --> 00:29:05,508
These are the wiles of the novel.
The queen will soon find out.

351
00:29:06,148 --> 00:29:08,152
Stay on the island for a while.

352
00:29:08,529 --> 00:29:10,678
And then you will get married
with the man you love.

353
00:29:11,145 --> 00:29:13,529
Trust me, Princess Matasunta.

354
00:29:13,893 --> 00:29:15,668
But will he wait for me?

355
00:29:15,994 --> 00:29:18,189
Don't doubt it.

356
00:29:18,736 --> 00:29:21,202
Then I will do as you say.

357
00:29:41,849 --> 00:29:45,180
Your servants and guards
they received clear instructions.

358
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:47,828
Do not try to command them otherwise.

359
00:29:48,483 --> 00:29:49,807
what's your name

360
00:29:50,257 --> 00:29:52,193
They all come from a distant land
and I don't understand what you are telling them.

361
00:29:52,464 --> 00:29:54,483
The queen herself chose them.

362
00:30:02,739 --> 00:30:05,919
Hurry up, Santa!
The stench of the swamp is hard to bear!

363
00:30:06,531 --> 00:30:10,302
- It's the breath of death.
- Shut up, old man!

364
00:30:19,545 --> 00:30:25,388
Aspa, I will pay for all this
my sister, I swear!

365
00:30:27,116 --> 00:30:29,664
The hour of revenge will come.

366
00:30:29,895 --> 00:30:32,318
And then, I will have the power.

367
00:30:33,379 --> 00:30:37,536
You have convincingly proved your faith
and you helped us with wise advice.

368
00:30:37,931 --> 00:30:39,992
Allow me to help you with the deed as well, Your Majesty.

369
00:30:41,927 --> 00:30:44,095
The ramparts of Rome crumble.

370
00:30:44,999 --> 00:30:47,126
Let me reinforce them.

371
00:30:48,821 --> 00:30:51,885
If Rome will fall,
your kingdom might fall too.

372
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,904
Ravenna is our capital, not Rome!

373
00:30:56,265 --> 00:30:57,599
Your prayer is granted, Cethegus.

374
00:30:57,983 --> 00:31:02,232
I call you prefect of the Eternal City,
with the task of strengthening the ramparts.

375
00:31:02,533 --> 00:31:04,315
The queen is the one whose
he deserves this rank.

376
00:31:04,616 --> 00:31:06,678
Without first asking for advice
from the Crown Council?

377
00:31:07,216 --> 00:31:08,803
When I need advice,
I will ask him.

378
00:31:09,104 --> 00:31:11,829
It's my mistake, I should have
to have asked his advice.

379
00:31:12,284 --> 00:31:16,155
If the council will give me the assignment,
I will receive it with gratitude.

380
00:31:16,457 --> 00:31:19,006
The council has the right and the duty
to be prudent.

381
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:21,137
And one more request, Your Highness.

382
00:31:21,622 --> 00:31:23,656
As prefect, I need a bodyguard.

383
00:31:23,867 --> 00:31:25,638
Allow me to re-establish the Praetorian Guard.

384
00:31:25,967 --> 00:31:27,865
A bodyguard?
For what?

385
00:31:28,105 --> 00:31:29,813
We have a Gothic garrison in Rome.

386
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,471
- And what do we do if you withdraw your army?
- That will never happen!

387
00:31:32,772 --> 00:31:34,221
Even if there is an uprising here?

388
00:31:34,702 --> 00:31:36,962
It seems like a measure to me
of necessary safety.

389
00:31:37,393 --> 00:31:39,236
You have my approval
to re-establish the Praetorian Guard.

390
00:31:39,537 --> 00:31:42,163
Your Majesty, that would mean an army
under the command of the Romanians!

391
00:31:42,581 --> 00:31:44,788
I understand your doubt and respect it.

392
00:31:45,296 --> 00:31:49,004
Allow me to send to Rome
someone to watch my steps?

393
00:31:50,621 --> 00:31:53,816
Comite de Dacia, do you take over the duty?

394
00:31:55,595 --> 00:31:58,066
I serve my queen wherever she sends me.

395
00:31:58,494 --> 00:32:01,342
On the battlefield,
or on the streets of Rome.

396
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:04,181
They are friendly streets, beloved counties.

397
00:32:05,196 --> 00:32:07,627
And in my house
you will be warmly received.

398
00:32:08,932 --> 00:32:10,866
Thank you, Your Highness.

399
00:32:16,853 --> 00:32:18,454
Stop it!

400
00:32:19,264 --> 00:32:22,103
It was a great honor for me
to accompany you on horseback.

401
00:32:22,401 --> 00:32:24,952
Romanians know how to value a friend,
Prince Furius.

402
00:32:25,532 --> 00:32:28,258
Especially when under his command
they are famous spearmen from Corsica.

403
00:32:28,543 --> 00:32:31,110
- Romanian archers are better.
- That's how you find it?

404
00:32:31,411 --> 00:32:32,882
I am convinced of this.

405
00:32:33,373 --> 00:32:35,858
The spear is a good weapon,
but you can't aim as well with it.

406
00:32:36,259 --> 00:32:38,638
It's not like the arrow, what does it hit
and hair.

407
00:32:39,170 --> 00:32:41,960
You can go wrong with the gun
and yet plenty of times.

408
00:32:42,451 --> 00:32:46,145
And a shared secret
it can be the foundation of a close alliance.

409
00:32:46,758 --> 00:32:49,410
Give us friendship and help us
with your lancers and ships.

410
00:32:49,921 --> 00:32:52,038
And when the time for negotiations comes,

411
00:32:52,815 --> 00:32:55,846
it will be to the benefit of both,
I promise you.

412
00:32:56,234 --> 00:32:57,802
David!

413
00:32:58,189 --> 00:33:01,253
I give you this man,
as proof of my friendship.

414
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,353
You will serve Prince Furius
with the same faith as me.

415
00:33:04,654 --> 00:33:07,119
- Thank you, Romanian.
- Stay safe, friend.

416
00:33:08,446 --> 00:33:09,682
Before!

417
00:33:39,152 --> 00:33:40,389
Stop here!

418
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,867
Be glorified, master!

419
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:52,271
How do you find eternal Rome?

420
00:33:53,285 --> 00:33:54,338
I like it.

421
00:33:54,742 --> 00:33:57,522
- Don't forget you have a purpose here!
- I won't forget.

422
00:34:06,347 --> 00:34:09,476
Behold the beauty of the border, master,
it is Byzantine art at its finest.

423
00:34:10,002 --> 00:34:10,684
A smell.

424
00:34:11,715 --> 00:34:17,628
Escape who can!
Run to your houses!

425
00:34:56,697 --> 00:34:58,412
Don't be afraid!

426
00:35:06,372 --> 00:35:07,612
Be careful!

427
00:35:40,965 --> 00:35:44,595
He's coming back, Totila!
Take the spear!

428
00:36:01,701 --> 00:36:05,401
- I don't know how to thank you enough.
- Your smile is enough for me.

429
00:36:05,909 --> 00:36:09,051
How modest you are.
You deserve more than a smile.

430
00:36:11,076 --> 00:36:13,536
Master, are you hurt?

431
00:36:14,064 --> 00:36:16,778
No, Crito, everything is fine.

432
00:36:21,113 --> 00:36:22,735
I thank you in the name of my master.

433
00:36:23,365 --> 00:36:25,344
Farewell, stranger!

434
00:36:36,338 --> 00:36:39,021
I want to know who it is, Crito.

435
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:41,506
I will find out, master.

436
00:36:46,009 --> 00:36:48,100
You still have a lot to learn, my friend!

437
00:36:49,358 --> 00:36:50,189
But what do my eyes see?

438
00:36:50,350 --> 00:36:53,117
It's Thorismund, the commander
the Gothic garrison in Rome.

439
00:36:53,768 --> 00:36:57,531
Greetings, friends. Totila?
The hero of all Romanian women's dreams?

440
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,078
You are well informed.

441
00:36:59,485 --> 00:37:02,252
- So you will supervise the prefect.
- By order of the queen.

442
00:37:06,597 --> 00:37:08,789
Do not think that Totila is too young
for this purpose.

443
00:37:09,023 --> 00:37:11,137
He has already proven his skill
in many battles.

444
00:37:11,387 --> 00:37:14,038
With riding? To fight with the lance
it's child's play!

445
00:37:14,336 --> 00:37:18,418
- This is a real man's weapon!
- I've been told this before.

446
00:37:19,813 --> 00:37:22,589
- Not bad!
- Pay attention to our riders!

447
00:37:25,441 --> 00:37:29,098
And you, Totila, take care
What is Cethegus doing?

448
00:37:29,401 --> 00:37:31,592
That's right, he's sly as a fox.

449
00:37:33,171 --> 00:37:35,144
So far the Romanians haven't been
cause for concern.

450
00:37:35,451 --> 00:37:38,122
How long Teodoric reigned, no. But now
we are led by a weak angel's wife.

451
00:37:38,625 --> 00:37:41,662
As long as you are the garrison commander,
the Romanians will not be able to do anything.

452
00:37:42,187 --> 00:37:46,619
Full, old bag!
What girl did you send me to bed last night?!

453
00:37:46,971 --> 00:37:50,342
- Are you saying she was a beauty?!
- But what should a poor blind man see, master?

454
00:37:50,704 --> 00:37:53,192
Have you lost your sense of touch?
with the light of the eyes?

455
00:37:53,436 --> 00:37:54,983
What was with the humps on her back?

456
00:37:55,298 --> 00:37:58,209
Was that the back?
Forgive me!

457
00:38:01,676 --> 00:38:03,770
Bad luck!

458
00:38:07,244 --> 00:38:10,374
I found out that a misfortune happened.
What happened to Iulia? Is she hurt?

459
00:38:11,038 --> 00:38:13,585
Don't worry, nothing happened.
The beast was slain.

460
00:38:13,948 --> 00:38:15,624
Were you not told, sir?

461
00:38:16,024 --> 00:38:20,660
<i>- He had golden hair like the sun.
- I think you are in love, master

462
00:38:23,421 --> 00:38:24,287
My poor child!

463
00:38:24,814 --> 00:38:27,126
But nothing happened to me.
I feel wonderful!

464
00:38:27,328 --> 00:38:28,690
But you were close to death, Iulia.

465
00:38:28,850 --> 00:38:31,524
No, father. A young man saved me.

466
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:34,862
He was tall, slender and very handsome,
with messy hair.

467
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:36,624
And he was smiling all the time.

468
00:38:36,925 --> 00:38:39,349
I was paralyzed with fear,
and he was smiling all the time.

469
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:43,060
I am glad that our young Romanians
they have not only courage, but also humor.

470
00:38:43,361 --> 00:38:45,345
- But it wasn't a novel.
- Do you remember he was goth?

471
00:38:45,781 --> 00:38:49,492
I don't know, dad. But I don't think he was goth.

472
00:38:49,793 --> 00:38:53,637
It seems that the brave young man
he didn't kill only the lion.

473
00:38:54,086 --> 00:38:55,923
- Do you even know his name?
- No.

474
00:38:56,251 --> 00:39:00,103
Sin. I would like to thank him
myself for his deed.

475
00:39:00,404 --> 00:39:01,918
Yes, that's how it would fall.

476
00:39:02,429 --> 00:39:04,741
For now forget your hero.

477
00:39:05,425 --> 00:39:07,089
Now we have to deal with it
by a vase guest.

478
00:39:07,219 --> 00:39:09,778
He is the envoy of Queen Amalasunta in Rome.

479
00:39:10,235 --> 00:39:13,853
And it is very important that we are both
as courteous as possible to him.

480
00:39:14,154 --> 00:39:15,936
- Did you understand me, Iulia?
- Yes, father.

481
00:39:16,245 --> 00:39:20,200
Sir, the committee of Dacia has just arrived.
He is waiting in the garden.

482
00:39:22,703 --> 00:39:24,843
Come soon too.

483
00:39:29,883 --> 00:39:32,700
Welcome, Comite Totila!
We are happy to meet you.

484
00:39:33,001 --> 00:39:34,868
We expected you to arrive sooner.

485
00:39:35,434 --> 00:39:36,766
Thank you for the warm welcome.

486
00:39:36,967 --> 00:39:39,710
The delay is caused
of my duties to the queen.

487
00:39:40,149 --> 00:39:42,170
First of all
I inspected the fortifications.

488
00:39:42,432 --> 00:39:44,736
I hope you are satisfied
of the seen.

489
00:39:45,246 --> 00:39:49,489
Like goth, yes.
As a friend of Rome, no.

490
00:39:50,050 --> 00:39:51,429
The ramparts must be strengthened.

491
00:39:51,730 --> 00:39:53,790
Our construction plans
I'm already ready.

492
00:39:54,282 --> 00:39:55,270
That fast?

493
00:39:55,302 --> 00:39:57,308
I had them ready for many years.

494
00:39:57,709 --> 00:40:01,284
Rome has been living in fear for a long time
of Byzantium's lust for power.

495
00:40:01,585 --> 00:40:04,055
Julia!

496
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,743
Allow me to introduce you to Totila,
the committees of Dacia.

497
00:40:08,099 --> 00:40:09,943
He is our queen's emissary.

498
00:40:10,445 --> 00:40:11,546
My daughter, Iulia,

499
00:40:11,961 --> 00:40:13,613
who shares my love for Rome.

500
00:40:13,914 --> 00:40:17,590
I thought there was no such thing as beauty
more conquering than that of Rome.

501
00:40:18,512 --> 00:40:19,934
I see I was wrong.

502
00:40:20,529 --> 00:40:22,184
My daughter is a little out of sorts, mate.

503
00:40:22,585 --> 00:40:25,175
She is not used to the Gothic manner
to give compliments.

504
00:40:25,765 --> 00:40:28,564
When we say such words,
they come straight from the heart.

505
00:40:28,979 --> 00:40:30,468
Well said, commit.

506
00:40:32,543 --> 00:40:34,685
I would like you to be our guest often.

507
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:37,776
He wants me to know all about your people.

508
00:40:38,650 --> 00:40:42,086
It is said that Queen Amalasunta
she is an incomparably beautiful woman.

509
00:40:42,799 --> 00:40:45,662
For the first time in my life
I have to betray my queen.

510
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,088
The daughter of the prefect of Rome is much more beautiful.

511
00:40:48,389 --> 00:40:52,783
I can't stop myself from letting them know
to the queen about your treachery.

512
00:40:54,484 --> 00:40:57,824
I am ready to make it available to you
the fastest horse.

513
00:40:58,625 --> 00:41:01,696
You said earlier
that the construction plans are ready?

514
00:41:02,255 --> 00:41:04,300
As soon as I approve them,
work can begin.

515
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:06,537
I will send them to you at once, Comite.

516
00:41:07,109 --> 00:41:08,918
Prince Totila,

517
00:41:09,456 --> 00:41:12,630
the prefect's house is always open
for the friends of Rome.

518
00:41:12,931 --> 00:41:14,105
I will wait for you.

519
00:41:14,832 --> 00:41:17,876
As I serve the queen of the Goths,
I will also serve the queen of Rome.

520
00:41:19,582 --> 00:41:22,446
The plans are good as they are.
Nothing needs to be changed.

521
00:41:23,061 --> 00:41:24,334
Julia!

522
00:41:25,005 --> 00:41:27,640
You are a natural diplomat.
You were wonderful.

523
00:41:29,576 --> 00:41:33,267
I am also the daughter of Rome,
not just your scion, father.

524
00:41:43,384 --> 00:41:47,856
Forgiveness, master! The one who saved
your daughter's life was Dacia's comity.

525
00:41:48,276 --> 00:41:53,429
- Totila?
- Yes, he was, master.

526
00:41:54,656 --> 00:41:56,410
How well he knew how to hide it!

527
00:41:56,790 --> 00:42:00,911
Indeed, she is a born diplomat.
It's a gift from the gods.

528
00:42:02,035 --> 00:42:03,559
Let's take advantage.

529
00:42:03,825 --> 00:42:07,365
- But don't let her out of your sight, Syphax!
- Is my mistress in danger?

530
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,304
I don't think so, but I want to make sure.

531
00:42:10,801 --> 00:42:13,957
Friends, we need to talk
about important things!

532
00:42:14,455 --> 00:42:17,128
<i>Get more momentum!
Hit in the face!</i>

533
00:42:18,063 --> 00:42:19,480
<i>Look, this is how the bow is held.</i>

534
00:42:19,781 --> 00:42:21,563
I saw the fortification works
of the ramparts.

535
00:42:21,836 --> 00:42:24,463
Fast forward.
Suspiciously fast.

536
00:42:25,256 --> 00:42:27,541
And if you could see what I look like
it is done with the praetorians.

537
00:42:27,959 --> 00:42:31,558
The prefect seems to be on his guard
a small private army.

538
00:42:32,059 --> 00:42:35,036
You could see how many people
does the Praetorian Guard have?

539
00:42:34,975 --> 00:42:37,928
The Queen approved only 400 people.

540
00:42:38,213 --> 00:42:41,542
But Cethegus always adds others.
In the meantime, there are at least a few thousand.

541
00:42:42,038 --> 00:42:44,202
- Does Totila know all this?
- Totila?!

542
00:42:44,540 --> 00:42:46,943
He lost his heart and his head.

543
00:42:48,706 --> 00:42:51,240
Everything is going very well, friends.

544
00:42:53,248 --> 00:42:55,730
Work has begun on the ramparts.

545
00:42:56,475 --> 00:42:59,876
Excellent camouflage
of our other plan.

546
00:43:00,369 --> 00:43:03,562
An underground fortification
which no goth will ever see.

547
00:43:04,242 --> 00:43:08,157
Count Teia and Prince Thorismund
they watched over the thing with great care.

548
00:43:08,421 --> 00:43:10,881
- They are dangerous!
- What about the Totila committee?

549
00:43:11,145 --> 00:43:13,319
Totila is happy
of my daughter's hospitality.

550
00:43:13,683 --> 00:43:16,907
These ignorant barbarians cannot cope
Romanian hospitality.

551
00:43:17,307 --> 00:43:20,065
That's right.
And neither did the Roman ingenuity.

552
00:43:20,712 --> 00:43:24,250
And tomorrow we are organizing a hunt
in honor of our "friends".

553
00:43:24,551 --> 00:43:26,751
Well done!

554
00:44:39,070 --> 00:44:42,205
I don't see my daughter and Dacia's committees.

555
00:44:42,692 --> 00:44:46,528
- Look for them, Syphax, we stay here. Go!
- Of course, master!

556
00:44:48,257 --> 00:44:49,986
Come, friends!

557
00:44:53,497 --> 00:44:55,140
Let's wait here.

558
00:45:11,088 --> 00:45:12,982
Syphax always worries about me.

559
00:45:13,281 --> 00:45:15,739
She is the most faithful servant
my father's and mine.

560
00:45:16,325 --> 00:45:18,875
No, Julia.
That rank I claim for myself.

561
00:45:19,889 --> 00:45:21,868
How long have we known each other?

562
00:45:22,991 --> 00:45:26,294
I just count the hours
when we are not together.

563
00:45:27,509 --> 00:45:29,677
Me too, Totila.

564
00:45:31,154 --> 00:45:33,331
Will our happiness last?

565
00:45:33,634 --> 00:45:35,814
As long as we believe in her.

566
00:45:37,671 --> 00:45:41,354
- And if one of us loses his faith?
- That will never happen.

567
00:45:42,755 --> 00:45:45,975
Are you saying that we will always be happy?

568
00:45:50,784 --> 00:45:54,065
- Did you find them?
- There are many hiding places in the forest.

569
00:45:55,311 --> 00:45:57,896
I'll look for them myself.
Come on, friends!

570
00:46:07,523 --> 00:46:10,170
- Do you know the name of the wine?
- No, I don't know.

571
00:46:10,463 --> 00:46:12,748
Then I'll call her "Totila".

572
00:46:13,881 --> 00:46:15,595
Do you hear my heart beating?

573
00:46:15,837 --> 00:46:19,127
Call out your name.
It's like a spell.

574
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,691
Totila, Totila...

575
00:46:23,277 --> 00:46:27,120
Listen! Even the birds are chirping
just your name dear

576
00:46:27,636 --> 00:46:29,437
Can you make out their song?

577
00:46:29,992 --> 00:46:32,007
<i>Totila! Julia!</i>

578
00:46:33,543 --> 00:46:36,145
- Here they come to break the spell.
- Then I arrive too late.

579
00:46:36,447 --> 00:46:38,718
No one can destroy happiness
in which we both believe.

580
00:46:39,032 --> 00:46:42,749
I will tell them.
I want everyone to know!

581
00:46:44,348 --> 00:46:46,627
Don't forget that I am the daughter of a Romanian.

582
00:46:47,055 --> 00:46:49,954
Between our peoples
mistrust still reigns.

583
00:46:50,207 --> 00:46:52,367
I don't want politics
to destroy our love

584
00:46:52,627 --> 00:46:54,142
And what would you like us to do?

585
00:46:55,216 --> 00:46:57,196
What all lovers do.

586
00:46:57,632 --> 00:46:59,089
<i>Julia!</i>

587
00:47:07,726 --> 00:47:09,692
I've been looking for you, Comite Totila.

588
00:47:10,137 --> 00:47:12,243
As far as I can see, you haven't kidnapped any animals.

589
00:47:13,380 --> 00:47:15,020
Although hunting would be enough.

590
00:47:15,708 --> 00:47:19,544
It's my fault, dad.
Totila knows my love for animals.

591
00:47:19,908 --> 00:47:22,715
How do you think he could have killed an animal
in front of me?

592
00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:25,557
Thank you, noble committee.

593
00:47:26,478 --> 00:47:30,011
Keeping my daughter out of sight
blood, you showed a lot of tact.

594
00:47:30,409 --> 00:47:31,873
Admirable, commit.

595
00:47:32,281 --> 00:47:36,312
Let me have a word with your daughter, prefect,
worth more than a thousand trophies.

596
00:47:36,689 --> 00:47:40,449
Did Ravenna's envoy forget?
how do you handle the lance?

597
00:47:59,211 --> 00:48:01,784
I have never seen such a throw
not even to a Romanian lancer!

598
00:48:02,131 --> 00:48:05,149
Let us be grateful, friends,
that we have such allies.

599
00:48:05,889 --> 00:48:08,261
The hunt is over.
Call the retreat!

600
00:48:11,484 --> 00:48:15,719
Thorismund!
how are things going

601
00:48:17,458 --> 00:48:19,693
We worry about the Praetorians.

602
00:48:19,911 --> 00:48:21,296
They fill their ranks
more than I gave them permission.

603
00:48:21,497 --> 00:48:23,804
They sneak guns into town,
erect fortifications.

604
00:48:24,157 --> 00:48:26,772
Yes, I noticed it too.
But I trust Cethegus.

605
00:48:27,003 --> 00:48:28,828
Strengthen the ramparts
for everyone's safety.

606
00:48:29,046 --> 00:48:30,770
You are blinder than I thought.

607
00:48:30,988 --> 00:48:33,536
Because you are in love with a traitor
in her father's image.

608
00:48:33,741 --> 00:48:34,812
Shut up!

609
00:48:35,113 --> 00:48:39,302
I have to insult a Romanian woman,
to remember that you are goth?!

610
00:48:45,137 --> 00:48:47,891
It would be unworthy to fight
because of this.

611
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,726
What else were you going to tell me?

612
00:48:56,238 --> 00:48:58,470
I crowned someone who shouldn't be queen.

613
00:48:58,672 --> 00:49:02,114
He does everything to please Cethegus,
and he follows his dream.

614
00:49:02,382 --> 00:49:04,747
The dream of a strong Rome,
who will rule over our kingdom.

615
00:49:05,001 --> 00:49:07,169
- Your words mean treason!
- No!

616
00:49:07,389 --> 00:49:08,668
I am the only salvation.

617
00:49:08,882 --> 00:49:11,000
We have to do something
to protect our kingdom.

618
00:49:12,730 --> 00:49:14,862
He cannot make such a decision
than the Crown Council.

619
00:49:15,288 --> 00:49:16,884
Or maybe it already met, without me?

620
00:49:17,106 --> 00:49:19,352
You're goth, Totila, and we all know it.

621
00:49:19,555 --> 00:49:22,582
The Council will meet at Vitiges,
to make the final decision.

622
00:49:22,708 --> 00:49:24,545
Is a successor to the throne chosen?

623
00:49:24,858 --> 00:49:28,734
- Matasunta will be queen.
- Amalasunta will not give up the throne without a fight!

624
00:49:30,304 --> 00:49:33,371
He has powerful friends, on Guntares,
for example. That would mean war.

625
00:49:33,712 --> 00:49:34,654
A fratricidal war!

626
00:49:34,930 --> 00:49:38,439
She is unthinkable as our queen
to give so much military power to a Roman.

627
00:49:38,745 --> 00:49:41,787
Today we are dealing with the Romanians,
tomorrow it will be, perhaps, the Byzantines.

628
00:49:42,612 --> 00:49:45,854
You ride off at dawn.
This is a commandment.

629
00:49:46,462 --> 00:49:48,169
But I swore allegiance to the queen.

630
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,879
The oath is not to the queen,
but towards the people.

631
00:49:51,006 --> 00:49:55,640
I swore allegiance to the Goths
and their kingdom.

632
00:50:03,558 --> 00:50:06,946
- Did you recognize any voice, Plinis?
- Yes, one of them for sure.

633
00:50:07,153 --> 00:50:08,800
It belonged to the commander of the Goth garrison.

634
00:50:09,148 --> 00:50:13,644
Several times he told the other by name.
He told her... Totila.

635
00:50:17,298 --> 00:50:19,679
- Totila?!
- Yes, that's right.

636
00:50:20,585 --> 00:50:21,939
Good.

637
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:24,637
- That's it for today, Plinis.
- Sir, but...

638
00:50:24,823 --> 00:50:28,956
- Syphax will hand you the reward later.
- Thank you, master.

639
00:50:36,016 --> 00:50:37,652
- Syphax!
- Command!

640
00:50:37,905 --> 00:50:40,172
I need 20 people
disguised as thieves.

641
00:50:40,577 --> 00:50:42,183
On the fastest horses
and with the lightest weapons.

642
00:50:42,499 --> 00:50:43,819
We leave in the middle of the night.

643
00:50:47,224 --> 00:50:50,857
I have to get to Ravenna
before the council meeting.

644
00:50:51,377 --> 00:50:54,260
I will make Matasunta queen of the Goths.

645
00:50:56,556 --> 00:50:59,599
Because if the Goths want to remove it
on the queen from the throne,

646
00:51:00,897 --> 00:51:03,292
then it is Rome's duty
to meet this intention.

647
00:51:03,584 --> 00:51:06,290
But you thought that Amalasunta
never gave us a hard time?

648
00:51:06,582 --> 00:51:08,176
Not even Matasunta will do it.

649
00:51:08,787 --> 00:51:10,757
I'm going to solve two things at once:

650
00:51:11,522 --> 00:51:14,243
Matasunta's coronation
and removal of the council.

651
00:51:14,706 --> 00:51:17,592
- Here's a brilliant new plan.
- And he will succeed.

652
00:51:25,302 --> 00:51:27,344
Why must you go, Totila?

653
00:51:27,957 --> 00:51:31,392
That's the commandment.
At dawn I ride.

654
00:51:32,037 --> 00:51:34,500
when are you coming back When will we meet again?

655
00:51:36,150 --> 00:51:38,446
Soon, I hope.

656
00:51:40,686 --> 00:51:43,283
Is it because of my father that you have to go?

657
00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:46,419
Please, Iulia, don't ask me questions.

658
00:51:46,747 --> 00:51:50,417
But why? I want to know what happened.
I thought you loved me.

659
00:51:50,427 --> 00:51:52,496
Above all, Iulia.

660
00:51:56,006 --> 00:51:58,228
i can't live without you

661
00:52:03,577 --> 00:52:05,941
- Is Julia sleeping?
- No, master. It's in the garden.

662
00:52:06,287 --> 00:52:09,411
- At this late hour?!
- It's a warm evening.

663
00:52:09,892 --> 00:52:11,883
- I'll call her right away.
- I'll call her myself.

664
00:52:18,721 --> 00:52:20,316
Julia?

665
00:52:20,863 --> 00:52:22,194
Julia!

666
00:52:23,964 --> 00:52:25,956
No, I won't forget you.

667
00:52:28,918 --> 00:52:32,288
- I will go to him and talk to him.
- No, not now and not here.

668
00:52:32,624 --> 00:52:34,758
Talk to him when you get back.

669
00:52:36,006 --> 00:52:39,840
Go now, my love.
May the Lord bring you back to me.

670
00:52:47,747 --> 00:52:49,424
- Did you call me, dad?
- Yes.

671
00:52:50,289 --> 00:52:52,900
Who were you in the garden with?
With Totila?

672
00:52:53,203 --> 00:52:56,026
Tomorrow at dawn he must leave.

673
00:52:57,822 --> 00:53:01,214
He told me he loves me
and asked me to wait for him.

674
00:53:17,926 --> 00:53:21,053
Vittiges! Atalvin!
Come on, the table is ready.

675
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,627
We are coming!

676
00:53:22,928 --> 00:53:23,928
Come on, son.

677
00:53:24,229 --> 00:53:25,329
show me your muscles dad

678
00:53:26,019 --> 00:53:28,084
what are you saying
I show you how strong I am.

679
00:53:29,276 --> 00:53:32,256
Let me go!
I am no longer a little child.

680
00:53:32,457 --> 00:53:33,957
Let me go, father!

681
00:53:34,609 --> 00:53:37,767
- Put me down!
- Okay, either.

682
00:53:41,568 --> 00:53:44,241
- Wash your hands before eating.
- Come on, go.

683
00:53:46,392 --> 00:53:48,860
Since I was last home,
he grew up great.

684
00:53:49,145 --> 00:53:51,700
You've been gone for over a year.
It's too much for Atalvin.

685
00:53:52,026 --> 00:53:53,977
Just for him?

686
00:53:55,056 --> 00:53:58,254
The next time I go to Ravenna
I'm taking you both with me.

687
00:53:58,380 --> 00:54:01,660
Not. The royal court will never forgive you
that you took a simple peasant woman as your wife.

688
00:54:01,998 --> 00:54:04,547
But you are my wife
and I'm not giving up on you.

689
00:54:04,848 --> 00:54:07,344
- Vitiges!
- Looks like we have guests.

690
00:54:08,158 --> 00:54:11,515
Hildebrand, Teia, Aligern.

691
00:54:12,441 --> 00:54:14,365
What does God want here?

692
00:54:14,666 --> 00:54:18,760
Please don't leave with them again.

693
00:54:28,066 --> 00:54:30,856
- Greetings, friends! What wind brings you?
- We salute you, Vitiges!

694
00:54:31,157 --> 00:54:34,765
Be glorified, Comite Vitiges,
you and your wife, Rautgundis!

695
00:54:35,066 --> 00:54:36,805
We must consult
in an important matter.

696
00:54:38,179 --> 00:54:40,749
I can read on your face that you bring bad news.

697
00:54:41,095 --> 00:54:43,038
You just don't want to take it from me again
the man at home?!

698
00:54:43,583 --> 00:54:46,528
Me, no. But the circumstances
he could ask for it.

699
00:54:46,949 --> 00:54:49,328
Prepare them something to eat
to our guests, Rautgundis.

700
00:54:49,629 --> 00:54:51,781
I think another guest is just arriving.

701
00:54:54,465 --> 00:54:56,630
It should be Totila.

702
00:54:59,569 --> 00:55:01,360
- Welcome, Totila!
- I was waiting for you.

703
00:55:01,661 --> 00:55:04,759
Be glorified!
I spoke with Thorismund.

704
00:55:05,806 --> 00:55:07,219
I didn't crown the right person
between the two sisters.

705
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,317
We have to save
what is left to save.

706
00:55:09,718 --> 00:55:11,836
Matasunta must become queen.

707
00:55:20,888 --> 00:55:22,534
Stop it!

708
00:55:22,957 --> 00:55:24,548
You hide on the other side.

709
00:55:24,886 --> 00:55:26,759
The men of the Council
I can only pass through here.

710
00:55:27,395 --> 00:55:28,979
Crush them!

711
00:55:29,311 --> 00:55:31,860
I am going alone to Ravenna,
then i come back here

712
00:55:32,161 --> 00:55:33,465
Before!

713
00:55:57,555 --> 00:55:59,866
Cethegus, what are you doing in Ravenna?

714
00:56:00,037 --> 00:56:02,199
And you walk into my bedroom unannounced?

715
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,178
There is no one who notified me.

716
00:56:04,479 --> 00:56:06,183
- Where is the waiter?
- He left.

717
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,238
- Hildebrand, Teia, Aligern?
- They all left.

718
00:56:09,539 --> 00:56:11,098
Where?

719
00:56:12,893 --> 00:56:16,169
They gathered in the garden of Vitiges,
where they meet Totila.

720
00:56:20,916 --> 00:56:23,023
All the men of the Crown Council
I hold a meeting in the garden of Vitiges.

721
00:56:23,324 --> 00:56:24,627
Why?

722
00:56:24,952 --> 00:56:27,355
They want to crown your sister
as queen

723
00:56:30,014 --> 00:56:32,078
So they are all against me.

724
00:56:32,628 --> 00:56:33,701
Really all of them?

725
00:56:34,377 --> 00:56:36,455
We must cut their way,
when they return to Ravenna.

726
00:56:37,061 --> 00:56:39,539
My people are waiting for us
on the way out of town.

727
00:56:40,268 --> 00:56:42,256
You just don't think I'm going to let them
your people to massacre.

728
00:56:42,657 --> 00:56:44,677
They betrayed you for that too
he deserves to die.

729
00:56:45,378 --> 00:56:47,501
But it would be a fierce murder!

730
00:56:48,493 --> 00:56:50,477
For a noble cause, Your Majesty.

731
00:56:50,994 --> 00:56:52,781
To save your life.

732
00:56:53,619 --> 00:56:55,786
And the throne, Amalasunta.

733
00:57:02,789 --> 00:57:04,441
Do what must be done, Cethegus.

734
00:57:04,742 --> 00:57:06,820
- The queen is the one who has to give the order.
- I'll let you decide.

735
00:57:07,121 --> 00:57:09,128
Then the queen will have to ride
with us.

736
00:57:09,458 --> 00:57:10,959
With the Romanians?!

737
00:57:12,284 --> 00:57:14,686
There's nothing left to do here,
with whom you could ride.

738
00:57:15,554 --> 00:57:18,757
But maybe you prefer to stay here alone.

739
00:57:24,744 --> 00:57:26,962
Take me with you, father!

740
00:57:29,141 --> 00:57:31,068
Stay here and take care of your mother.

741
00:57:31,469 --> 00:57:34,782
Stay safe, son!
Stay well, Rautgundis.

742
00:57:49,588 --> 00:57:50,703
Is the queen angry?

743
00:57:51,004 --> 00:57:52,912
I feel as if I have given up on running away.
I feel ashamed.

744
00:57:53,213 --> 00:57:57,229
We are both in the same situation.
We have every reason to be cautious.

745
00:57:57,804 --> 00:58:01,674
It should come along the river.
A perfect place for an ambush.

746
00:58:01,925 --> 00:58:03,956
I want to go back to Ravenna.

747
00:58:05,226 --> 00:58:06,427
It's too late.

748
00:58:06,921 --> 00:58:09,206
They are already coming, here they are!

749
00:58:18,866 --> 00:58:20,804
Now!

750
00:58:32,483 --> 00:58:34,228
Back!

751
00:58:59,992 --> 00:59:01,442
Throw them in the river!

752
00:59:05,148 --> 00:59:07,950
You can also swim alone.
Look at that!

753
00:59:13,119 --> 00:59:15,021
They escaped, Cethegus.

754
00:59:22,346 --> 00:59:26,246
From now on, in one place
you would still have an escape: on the island of Bolsena.

755
00:59:26,954 --> 00:59:30,072
- You mean to go to my sister, Matasunta?
- Don't worry.

756
00:59:30,396 --> 00:59:33,348
Her hatred turned against the queen,
but never against her sister.

757
00:59:33,649 --> 00:59:37,165
- Do you think I like to beg for mercy?
- You have no choice.

758
00:59:38,090 --> 00:59:39,880
- Syphax will accompany you.
- Not you?

759
00:59:40,181 --> 00:59:43,145
I go ahead and talk to your sister.
You wait at the shore.

760
00:59:43,496 --> 00:59:45,250
It's your life at stake.

761
00:59:56,599 --> 00:59:58,216
Cethegus!

762
00:59:59,298 --> 01:00:01,399
The faithful friend of the queen.

763
01:00:01,775 --> 01:00:03,814
What brings you to me?

764
01:00:09,305 --> 01:00:12,528
The Crown Council has decided that it is you
the rightful heir to the throne.

765
01:00:13,847 --> 01:00:16,208
Your sister is no longer queen.

766
01:00:17,870 --> 01:00:22,354
- Go to the other side very quickly.
- I am always on one and the same side.

767
01:00:22,901 --> 01:00:25,101
I am a servant of Rome.

768
01:00:25,431 --> 01:00:28,747
And my loyalty
belongs to the queen of the Goths.

769
01:00:32,540 --> 01:00:37,455
I remember when you were a child.
You liked to ride an African pony.

770
01:00:39,083 --> 01:00:41,823
One day your father pointed to you
and he said to me:

771
01:00:42,231 --> 01:00:47,103
"Here is Matasunta,
future queen of the goths."

772
01:00:48,999 --> 01:00:50,921
"Promise me you'll protect her, my friend."

773
01:00:51,222 --> 01:00:53,577
And yet he called my sister
right heir to the throne.

774
01:00:54,587 --> 01:00:56,517
But he didn't say her name.

775
01:01:00,055 --> 01:01:04,513
Your father was almost blind before he died.
He didn't even know what document he signed.

776
01:01:04,814 --> 01:01:07,984
A false document, in which he appeared
my sister's name?

777
01:01:09,568 --> 01:01:12,601
Now you will enter
in the rights of the queen.

778
01:01:13,287 --> 01:01:16,376
And I'm the first to swear faith in you.

779
01:01:17,712 --> 01:01:19,779
Take this ring.

780
01:01:20,058 --> 01:01:24,008
If you ever need help,
send it to me and I will come right away.

781
01:01:27,121 --> 01:01:30,272
Give me just one reason why
i could trust you

782
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,862
- I brought the former queen with me.
- On Amalasunta?!

783
01:01:34,672 --> 01:01:36,630
You have to forgive her.

784
01:01:37,414 --> 01:01:41,096
- Otherwise he will ally with Guntares.
- Where is it?

785
01:01:41,636 --> 01:01:45,003
It's by the lake
and await your decision.

786
01:01:45,586 --> 01:01:51,156
Like me, he came to swear allegiance to him
his queen.

787
01:01:54,587 --> 01:01:56,614
Let him come.

788
01:02:09,481 --> 01:02:11,921
- What news do you bring?
- Your sister is waiting for you.

789
01:02:12,227 --> 01:02:13,520
And what did he say?

790
01:02:13,821 --> 01:02:17,291
He will receive you with Christian mercy
and open arms.

791
01:02:17,701 --> 01:02:19,522
Where are you going, Cethegus?

792
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,250
My mission is over.

793
01:02:22,602 --> 01:02:26,034
You go to your sister
and I'm going to Rome.

794
01:02:27,315 --> 01:02:29,188
Syphax, on horseback!

795
01:02:43,312 --> 01:02:45,723
Stand up, my sister.

796
01:02:47,148 --> 01:02:50,192
Let me hug you, Amalasunta.

797
01:02:52,418 --> 01:02:56,890
I want to forget the old gossip.
Now I am animated only by love.

798
01:02:57,334 --> 01:03:01,814
Aspa, the queen is tired.
Go and prepare her bath.

799
01:03:03,075 --> 01:03:06,920
I thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

800
01:04:34,370 --> 01:04:37,501
Open the door!

801
01:04:37,923 --> 01:04:39,512
Let me out!

802
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,117
Let me go!

803
01:04:55,671 --> 01:04:57,949
Help me!
Open the door!

804
01:04:58,260 --> 01:05:00,518
You can shout as much as you want.
No one will help you.

805
01:05:00,921 --> 01:05:03,033
Cethegus is already on his way to Rome.

806
01:05:03,353 --> 01:05:06,384
I didn't want to kill a moment,
believe me!

807
01:05:06,630 --> 01:05:09,665
To hell with you!
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

808
01:05:09,904 --> 01:05:13,524
And you would have done the same to me,
dacă ai fi avut curajul.

809
01:05:13,937 --> 01:05:15,310
Then kill me!

810
01:05:15,673 --> 01:05:17,319
Şi roagă-te pentru iertarea păcatelor tale.

811
01:05:17,620 --> 01:05:21,092
Am să mă rog pentru tine.
Şi am s-o fac chiar cu plăcere.

812
01:06:21,131 --> 01:06:22,780
My poor sister!

813
01:06:23,081 --> 01:06:26,463
De ce m-ai părăsit tocmai atunci
when did we meet again?

814
01:06:27,784 --> 01:06:31,019
De îndată ce ajungem la Ravenna
preiau succesiunea surorii mele.

815
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:35,486
Consiliul Coroanei va vesti poporului
că eu sînt noua regină a goţilor.

816
01:06:44,477 --> 01:06:47,052
Sînt de aceeaşi părere, prieteni,
dar nu putem dovedi nimic.

817
01:06:47,351 --> 01:06:50,811
Amalasunta died.
Dar noi am fi vrut doar să abdice.

818
01:06:51,323 --> 01:06:53,838
We shouldn't even have women anymore
on the royal throne.

819
01:06:54,666 --> 01:06:57,472
On Matasunta only the Council of the Crown
can remove her from the throne.

820
01:06:57,773 --> 01:07:01,976
Then he would call Guntares for help,
and he would seize power in her name.

821
01:07:02,214 --> 01:07:05,167
I propose a successor
worthy of King Theodoric.

822
01:07:07,044 --> 01:07:08,593
Hildebrand.

823
01:07:08,876 --> 01:07:10,264
I'm too old.

824
01:07:10,549 --> 01:07:11,834
Atunci îl propun pe Totila.

825
01:07:12,198 --> 01:07:14,048
No, I'm too young.

826
01:07:14,348 --> 01:07:17,337
Avem un bărbat printre noi care nu e
nici prea bătrîn, nici prea tînăr,

827
01:07:17,652 --> 01:07:19,835
enjoys our trust
and he is our blood brother.

828
01:07:20,136 --> 01:07:21,787
- I propose Vitiges.
- No!

829
01:07:22,651 --> 01:07:23,788
I don't get it.

830
01:07:24,089 --> 01:07:26,820
That will be decided by the members of the Council.

831
01:07:27,122 --> 01:07:29,426
If you are chosen, you are not allowed to refuse.

832
01:07:29,682 --> 01:07:34,554
Long live Vitiges, king of the Goths!

833
01:07:39,737 --> 01:07:41,786
Damn Romanians!
Can you stay on the horse?

834
01:07:42,034 --> 01:07:43,783
No, I'm bleeding to death.

835
01:07:43,951 --> 01:07:46,733
You have to carry on
Matasunta's message.

836
01:07:47,046 --> 01:07:48,381
Say it one more time.

837
01:07:48,593 --> 01:07:52,057
- The Crown Council betrayed the queen.
- Like that.

838
01:07:52,358 --> 01:07:54,336
He chose Vitiges as king.

839
01:07:54,684 --> 01:07:56,869
Matasunta calls the allied troops for help.

840
01:07:57,246 --> 01:07:59,632
Yes, move fast.
And don't forget:

841
01:08:00,053 --> 01:08:03,196
You give the message to Guntares personally.

842
01:08:15,056 --> 01:08:18,753
- Guntares, where now?
- Where else do we set fire?

843
01:08:19,117 --> 01:08:23,074
At Vitiges. Burn everything!
Take his son hostage!

844
01:08:31,931 --> 01:08:34,832
Atalvin!

845
01:08:35,210 --> 01:08:38,774
Where are you, Atalvin?

846
01:08:46,564 --> 01:08:49,424
Empress Augusta!
Your guest from Rome has arrived.

847
01:08:49,725 --> 01:08:51,609
- Cethegus?
- Yes.

848
01:08:52,471 --> 01:08:55,430
Put some wild vanilla in my cup.

849
01:09:09,818 --> 01:09:11,875
Come in!

850
01:09:19,768 --> 01:09:21,893
This time you came back faster.

851
01:09:22,194 --> 01:09:24,204
Overwhelmed by the desire to see you again.

852
01:09:24,505 --> 01:09:28,431
I like men from whose mouth
bold lies sound like the truth.

853
01:09:29,879 --> 01:09:31,708
You are more and more beautiful.

854
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:35,427
You came to talk
about the Goth rebellion, isn't it?

855
01:09:36,170 --> 01:09:38,801
Prince Guntares against King Vitiges.

856
01:09:39,533 --> 01:09:41,280
Smart novel.

857
01:09:41,626 --> 01:09:44,949
And you think now is the time, right?

858
01:09:45,440 --> 01:09:47,713
When I'm with you, it's always the time.

859
01:09:48,171 --> 01:09:50,844
I meant sending
a Byzantine army in Italy.

860
01:09:51,135 --> 01:09:53,867
Politics comes second.

861
01:09:54,138 --> 01:09:57,089
In order of approach, maybe.
But not in terms of importance.

862
01:09:57,390 --> 01:09:58,645
Theodora!

863
01:09:58,946 --> 01:10:00,673
I will end your doubts.

864
01:10:01,314 --> 01:10:03,783
Military campaign in Italy
it's already set up.

865
01:10:04,104 --> 01:10:06,877
But the commander of the troops will not be
your friend, Narses,

866
01:10:07,130 --> 01:10:09,470
but my friend, Belisarius.

867
01:10:11,033 --> 01:10:13,081
Don't leave any friendship unrewarded.

868
01:10:13,482 --> 01:10:15,485
Except mine, as I see.

869
01:10:15,715 --> 01:10:18,433
Belizarie has an advantage over you.

870
01:10:21,791 --> 01:10:24,140
It's always here.

871
01:10:31,101 --> 01:10:34,091
We will send a Byzantine army to Italy.

872
01:10:34,335 --> 01:10:36,767
Under the command of General Belisarius,

873
01:10:37,020 --> 01:10:38,698
at my express wish.

874
01:10:39,096 --> 01:10:43,256
Empress Augusta has an innate gift
for choosing the right person.

875
01:10:44,552 --> 01:10:49,139
It's just one of her valuable qualities.

876
01:11:07,077 --> 01:11:09,504
I am glad that my words cheer you up.

877
01:11:09,805 --> 01:11:12,648
Your friend, the empress,
he gave me a big hug.

878
01:11:12,949 --> 01:11:15,894
I have to confess to you
that I didn't even want to command the troops.

879
01:11:16,254 --> 01:11:17,777
And you really want me to believe you?

880
01:11:17,996 --> 01:11:20,659
Of course, because the initial difficulties
they remain to Belisarius.

881
01:11:21,007 --> 01:11:23,530
The great conqueror and commander of armies
he is so sure of his victory,

882
01:11:23,831 --> 01:11:25,572
so that there is no way not to fail.

883
01:11:25,955 --> 01:11:27,282
do you understand me

884
01:11:27,545 --> 01:11:31,192
And then Narses will take his place,
the insignificant soldier,

885
01:11:31,462 --> 01:11:35,265
that straightens things out
and thus enters history.

886
01:11:36,180 --> 01:11:38,324
It smells wonderful!

887
01:11:38,718 --> 01:11:40,367
It's my favorite food.

888
01:11:40,668 --> 01:11:46,766
My heart beats for the Roman Empire,
but the stomach remains that of an Armenian.

889
01:11:48,771 --> 01:11:50,308
A woman in our camp?

890
01:11:50,630 --> 01:11:52,667
- What does he want?
- I don't know, Your Highness.

891
01:11:52,968 --> 01:11:56,032
- Wait in front of the tent.
- Then take her to the guard at the station.

892
01:11:56,333 --> 01:11:58,636
He told me to give you this, master.

893
01:12:05,045 --> 01:12:07,381
- Bring her in quickly!
- Yes, master.

894
01:12:12,259 --> 01:12:15,165
- Vitiges!
- My love!

895
01:12:20,245 --> 01:12:23,043
I thought I would never see you again.

896
01:12:23,843 --> 01:12:27,641
- Atalvin!
- Atalvin?

897
01:12:30,239 --> 01:12:32,618
What about Atalvin?
what happened

898
01:12:32,925 --> 01:12:37,088
Guntares fried everything,
and Atalvin disappeared.

899
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:39,202
He's definitely still alive.

900
01:12:39,671 --> 01:12:41,563
Pesemne took him as a pledge.

901
01:12:41,864 --> 01:12:45,836
Guntares is a fierce warrior,
but they don't kill children.

902
01:12:46,148 --> 01:12:50,631
- May God hear you!
- Be confident, my love!

903
01:12:50,932 --> 01:12:53,328
And now you must go, Rautgundis.

904
01:12:53,661 --> 01:12:56,146
The battlefield is not
the right place for a woman.

905
01:13:01,428 --> 01:13:03,898
But for Matasunta, why would it be?
He sits on the horse next to Guntares.

906
01:13:04,199 --> 01:13:06,219
Just because she wants to be queen!

907
01:13:07,296 --> 01:13:10,088
But you have no reason to fight.

908
01:13:10,513 --> 01:13:12,020
You are my queen.

909
01:13:12,735 --> 01:13:14,399
What are we waiting for?
Let's attack!

910
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,659
A short engagement
and Vitiges will be defeated.

911
01:13:17,021 --> 01:13:19,667
I wouldn't be so sure.
I have known him since I was a child.

912
01:13:19,958 --> 01:13:21,593
He is a brave soldier.

913
01:13:22,536 --> 01:13:25,442
I just want to beat him
but I will spare his life.

914
01:13:25,871 --> 01:13:27,822
He could become the most capable
leader of my armies.

915
01:13:28,197 --> 01:13:31,475
Send him word that I want to meet
with him on the field among the armies.

916
01:14:07,971 --> 01:14:10,453
The last time we saw each other
you were my friend

917
01:14:10,809 --> 01:14:12,385
And I'm still your friend, Matasunta.

918
01:14:12,686 --> 01:14:14,397
But you are no longer the faithful servant
of your queen.

919
01:14:14,691 --> 01:14:17,325
Fate made me king of the Goths.

920
01:14:17,608 --> 01:14:19,822
Fate?!
Then we will straighten fate.

921
01:14:20,087 --> 01:14:23,031
Lay down the sword, Vitiges.
We two will rule together.

922
01:14:23,432 --> 01:14:25,446
A king cannot divide his power
with someone else.

923
01:14:25,718 --> 01:14:28,048
Maybe, if he takes a wife.

924
01:14:28,857 --> 01:14:32,684
You once promised me that I would get married
with the man I love.

925
01:14:33,556 --> 01:14:36,635
- I am not worthy of you.
- Is that your answer?

926
01:14:37,902 --> 01:14:40,535
As a man, I could answer you on the spot.

927
01:14:40,893 --> 01:14:43,896
But as a king, I need it
by the approval of the Crown Council.

928
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,158
The council will choose peace.

929
01:14:47,876 --> 01:14:49,937
We have to tell him that I already have a wife.

930
01:14:50,244 --> 01:14:52,402
Did you think it through, Vitiges?

931
01:14:52,842 --> 01:14:54,646
Your denial would mean war.

932
01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:57,528
- Then all we have to do is fight.
- No!

933
01:14:57,882 --> 01:15:01,774
Do you want a fratricidal war?
I don't want bloodshed because of me.

934
01:15:02,086 --> 01:15:04,242
I would never forgive myself.

935
01:15:05,466 --> 01:15:07,031
You are free from our marriage.

936
01:15:07,332 --> 01:15:08,832
Do you want me to marry her?

937
01:15:09,173 --> 01:15:11,137
Yes, if I remain the only woman
that you love

938
01:15:11,473 --> 01:15:14,171
You are that and you always will be.

939
01:15:15,885 --> 01:15:17,969
No, I can't do it.

940
01:15:24,002 --> 01:15:25,321
what is it Speak!

941
01:15:25,647 --> 01:15:27,538
Belisarius landed in Italy.

942
01:15:27,809 --> 01:15:29,443
Byzantium and Rome therefore joined hands.

943
01:15:29,736 --> 01:15:30,852
Cethegus did it to us!

944
01:15:31,153 --> 01:15:32,865
He has always sought to divide us.

945
01:15:33,128 --> 01:15:34,685
He won't succeed.

946
01:15:35,457 --> 01:15:38,276
we must be united
otherwise we will be lost.

947
01:15:38,698 --> 01:15:41,904
Only you can save us, Vitiges.
only you

948
01:15:43,204 --> 01:15:45,219
Hear them, Your Majesty,
and don't think about me.

949
01:15:45,585 --> 01:15:48,624
I release you from marriage,
but I will remain your wife forever.

950
01:16:17,930 --> 01:16:19,839
I started with the left:
three sunken ships!

951
01:16:20,297 --> 01:16:21,758
Baska this army of serfs.

952
01:16:22,146 --> 01:16:24,960
Look at this crowd!
Are you tired?!

953
01:16:25,272 --> 01:16:29,373
Provisions for the 5,000 soldiers
they were on one of the sunken ships.

954
01:16:29,622 --> 01:16:31,350
Then shut up
from the locals.

955
01:16:31,667 --> 01:16:33,254
You can find plenty of them.
Take what you need!

956
01:16:33,524 --> 01:16:36,181
- General, but...
- I ordered!

957
01:16:36,410 --> 01:16:37,743
Of course.

958
01:17:42,556 --> 01:17:46,210
Who do you want to defend yourself from?
Just not by me?

959
01:17:46,646 --> 01:17:49,612
The battle for Rome is just beginning.
did you forget

960
01:17:49,990 --> 01:17:53,397
Cethegus called Byzantium for help.
Now Belisaria is also against us.

961
01:17:53,811 --> 01:17:55,874
I waited so many years for this night.

962
01:17:56,275 --> 01:17:59,197
From the moment I knew I loved you.

963
01:17:59,767 --> 01:18:03,541
Matasunta, we joined our lives
for political reasons.

964
01:18:04,106 --> 01:18:05,890
I give you my friendship.

965
01:18:06,471 --> 01:18:08,836
I don't deserve your love.

966
01:18:09,278 --> 01:18:11,586
I expect more than friendship from you.

967
01:18:12,358 --> 01:18:14,683
Make me your wife, Vitiges.

968
01:18:22,467 --> 01:18:24,326
I already have a wife.

969
01:18:24,603 --> 01:18:25,839
And together we have a son.

970
01:18:26,011 --> 01:18:29,439
We parted to avoid danger
the kingdom of the Goths.

971
01:18:31,936 --> 01:18:34,747
You lied to me and humiliated me
in front of everyone.

972
01:18:35,714 --> 01:18:37,220
There is no humiliation.

973
01:18:37,576 --> 01:18:39,462
You are queen and I share power with you.

974
01:18:39,722 --> 01:18:43,116
But Rautgundis is and remains my wife.

975
01:18:43,561 --> 01:18:44,766
Don't leave!

976
01:18:44,967 --> 01:18:47,955
You want to make me laugh
and in front of the servants?

977
01:18:59,711 --> 01:19:01,830
I will stay until tomorrow morning.

978
01:19:02,673 --> 01:19:05,184
But I'm going to sleep outside
in the front room.

979
01:19:21,061 --> 01:19:22,403
what happened

980
01:19:22,994 --> 01:19:23,745
Are you crying, Your Majesty?

981
01:19:24,046 --> 01:19:27,008
- I want to kill him!
- But what happened?

982
01:19:28,315 --> 01:19:30,196
I will take revenge on him.

983
01:19:30,497 --> 01:19:32,656
From now on, that's all I'll live for.

984
01:19:35,684 --> 01:19:38,014
And I know a man who will help me.

985
01:19:38,818 --> 01:19:40,684
Is everything ready?

986
01:19:41,119 --> 01:19:43,766
- Are all the people in position?
- Everything is ready.

987
01:19:44,301 --> 01:19:45,990
The Goth garrison must be destroyed
this very night

988
01:19:46,391 --> 01:19:47,579
before Belisaria arrived.

989
01:19:47,852 --> 01:19:51,810
Thank you, friends.

990
01:20:30,542 --> 01:20:32,886
The Romanians are attacking us!

991
01:20:42,144 --> 01:20:46,166
Defend the garrison at all costs,
until Vitiges comes with reinforcements!

992
01:21:23,579 --> 01:21:26,930
Cethegus has betrayed us!

993
01:21:28,706 --> 01:21:32,588
One by one do not dare,
what cowardly dogs you are!

994
01:21:42,552 --> 01:21:45,178
You will pay for this betrayal
with life, prefect.

995
01:21:45,641 --> 01:21:48,391
You may go, Prince Thorismund,
you are free

996
01:21:48,838 --> 01:21:51,913
Go to Vitiges and tell him
that Rome is ours again.

997
01:21:52,461 --> 01:21:54,247
I wonder for how long.

998
01:21:54,590 --> 01:21:57,516
Without the support of Byzantium
you would never have dared.

999
01:21:58,658 --> 01:22:01,738
But Narses will eat you in flakes with everything
and then he will vomit you.

1000
01:23:09,037 --> 01:23:10,721
Welcome to the gates of Rome!

1001
01:23:11,098 --> 01:23:12,943
I salute you my emperor.

1002
01:23:13,295 --> 01:23:15,418
And I came to free you from the Goths.

1003
01:23:15,731 --> 01:23:19,140
I am deeply grateful,
but Rome is already free.

1004
01:23:19,587 --> 01:23:23,217
I disarmed and abolished
the Goth garrison with its own army.

1005
01:23:23,594 --> 01:23:26,918
- You mean the Praetorian Guard.
- An entire army, general!

1006
01:23:27,391 --> 01:23:29,201
It is a strong reserve force.

1007
01:23:29,521 --> 01:23:32,269
And he will support you in the fight
against Vitiges.

1008
01:23:32,591 --> 01:23:34,248
My soldiers need it
for a few days of rest.

1009
01:23:34,575 --> 01:23:36,969
I am waiting for Rome to settle us
and give us supplies.

1010
01:23:37,337 --> 01:23:39,481
You and your army are welcome.

1011
01:23:39,750 --> 01:23:41,928
- But on my terms.
- Conditions?

1012
01:23:42,331 --> 01:23:43,960
That's how you talk to a general
of the Byzantine emperor?

1013
01:23:44,215 --> 01:23:46,784
now we are allies
with the same rights...

1014
01:23:47,808 --> 01:23:49,802
...and the same duty
to defend these rights.

1015
01:23:50,161 --> 01:23:51,258
What are your conditions?

1016
01:23:51,514 --> 01:23:53,479
My legions remain under my command.

1017
01:23:53,853 --> 01:23:57,579
They occupy the citadel, the Capitol,
hadrian's tomb

1018
01:23:57,969 --> 01:24:00,397
ramparts, towers, gates
and all fortified places.

1019
01:24:00,624 --> 01:24:03,987
- This is treason, Cethegus!
- Provision is the right word.

1020
01:24:04,330 --> 01:24:06,158
I suspected you would cheat on me.

1021
01:24:06,427 --> 01:24:08,605
All these are poisoned devices
of Narses.

1022
01:24:09,070 --> 01:24:12,152
Behind the great Roman
there is a crippled dwarf.

1023
01:24:12,453 --> 01:24:14,435
But having the shadow of a giant, Belisarius.

1024
01:24:14,736 --> 01:24:17,244
You want to put my victory
to your master, Narses.

1025
01:24:17,576 --> 01:24:19,965
You are wrong my friend
there will be only one winner.

1026
01:24:20,343 --> 01:24:22,799
- And that will be the city of Rome.
- Rome?!

1027
01:24:23,134 --> 01:24:24,969
Then I will fight alone
against the Goths.

1028
01:24:25,298 --> 01:24:27,808
And I will defeat them, while you
you will stay in the city.

1029
01:24:28,199 --> 01:24:30,578
And then I will set the conditions.

1030
01:24:31,159 --> 01:24:33,959
I wish you the best of luck, General.

1031
01:24:40,744 --> 01:24:42,979
Slow down, Vitiges, or we'll get lost
powers before battle.

1032
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:45,603
Belisarius' army is tired.
Let's use this.

1033
01:24:46,898 --> 01:24:48,080
They ran into a storm at sea.

1034
01:24:48,381 --> 01:24:50,100
His soldiers are sick and exhausted.

1035
01:24:50,413 --> 01:24:53,375
- And they didn't rest even for a day.
- Then we have to hit them now.

1036
01:24:53,747 --> 01:24:56,155
Before!

1037
01:25:20,898 --> 01:25:24,154
The Goths are heading for Rome,
and you are thinking of Totila.

1038
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:25,309
Forget it!

1039
01:25:25,510 --> 01:25:27,802
- I can't!
- You have to, Iulia.

1040
01:25:28,343 --> 01:25:29,836
He is a brave soldier.

1041
01:25:30,133 --> 01:25:32,242
And the brave usually fall
the first in battle.

1042
01:25:33,025 --> 01:25:35,820
Then I will pray for his life.
Day and night.

1043
01:25:36,437 --> 01:25:39,832
Keep your prayers for Rome.
He needs them more.

1044
01:26:21,349 --> 01:26:25,869
Praetorians!
Be ready!

1045
01:26:29,892 --> 01:26:32,073
They are too spoiled.

1046
01:26:33,249 --> 01:26:35,078
Belisarius will be surprised.

1047
01:26:38,790 --> 01:26:41,001
They want to fight in the manner of the Romans.

1048
01:26:42,244 --> 01:26:45,088
If they expect a frontal attack
from our side, he is mistaken.

1049
01:26:59,101 --> 01:27:01,451
The battlefield is a place
dangerous for the queen.

1050
01:27:03,041 --> 01:27:05,146
You are right. Command
to be taken safely.

1051
01:27:06,323 --> 01:27:08,732
Alahat! Take the queen
in a safe place.

1052
01:27:14,162 --> 01:27:17,322
Soldiers, be ready!

1053
01:27:17,708 --> 01:27:20,069
Belizaria!

1054
01:27:24,286 --> 01:27:25,736
Soldiers!

1055
01:27:26,162 --> 01:27:30,277
With your help I didn't lose
never any battle.

1056
01:27:30,569 --> 01:27:33,915
And we will win this together.

1057
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,716
For men rule like you
there is only one misfortune:

1058
01:27:38,038 --> 01:27:39,669
to be defeated by the enemy.

1059
01:27:40,012 --> 01:27:43,807
You surpass the Goths in bravery
and you are a strong army.

1060
01:27:44,208 --> 01:27:47,957
I know your courage and I know
that you will not disappoint me.

1061
01:27:48,441 --> 01:27:50,590
We will fight and destroy the enemy.

1062
01:27:58,696 --> 01:28:01,491
And then Cethegus.

1063
01:28:07,964 --> 01:28:10,179
Before!

1064
01:28:24,559 --> 01:28:26,239
Cut him off!

1065
01:28:29,135 --> 01:28:31,855
- Break through the circle of fire! After me!
- Forward!

1066
01:28:37,674 --> 01:28:39,895
Our general is a complete fool.

1067
01:28:40,546 --> 01:28:42,592
He blindly fell into the trap.

1068
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:48,526
Raise the shields!

1069
01:29:31,145 --> 01:29:33,699
Follow them! After me!

1070
01:29:34,514 --> 01:29:37,803
Destroy them! After me!

1071
01:30:04,675 --> 01:30:07,471
Open the gates!
Open up, Romanians!

1072
01:30:10,476 --> 01:30:13,236
Open it!

1073
01:30:17,223 --> 01:30:20,703
- Open the gate, Cethegus!
- Here I am, Belizaria!

1074
01:30:25,019 --> 01:30:26,743
Come and fight with me!

1075
01:30:56,986 --> 01:30:58,519
Come here!

1076
01:31:33,785 --> 01:31:36,720
Belizaria is over.
Victory is ours!

1077
01:31:42,422 --> 01:31:44,669
Vittiges!

1078
01:31:44,948 --> 01:31:46,502
I won!

1079
01:31:54,595 --> 01:31:56,834
- Strengthen the guard at the gate!
- Centurion!

1080
01:32:11,224 --> 01:32:13,077
Open the gate!

1081
01:32:15,593 --> 01:32:16,802
Citizens of Rome!

1082
01:32:17,103 --> 01:32:18,245
Welcome our friends
as it should be.

1083
01:32:18,767 --> 01:32:21,238
Protect them and give them everything they need.

1084
01:32:23,523 --> 01:32:26,543
- Come in, friends!
- Come on, we'll help you!

1085
01:32:28,091 --> 01:32:30,589
- Bring water!
- Pick it up!

1086
01:32:34,491 --> 01:32:37,523
- Quick! Close the gates!
- Don't let the Goths in!

1087
01:32:43,629 --> 01:32:46,747
Welcome to the walls of Rome!
You are safe here.

1088
01:32:47,037 --> 01:32:51,794
Now we close our accounts!

1089
01:33:17,269 --> 01:33:19,781
My brave Belisarius!

1090
01:33:20,041 --> 01:33:23,509
We mourn your death
and we bind ourselves to avenge her.

1091
01:33:25,368 --> 01:33:30,406
Our friend and comrade in arms
he sacrificed his life for the defense of Rome.

1092
01:33:31,868 --> 01:33:35,849
With pride and sadness
we do our duty

1093
01:33:37,015 --> 01:33:38,948
to honor his memory.

1094
01:33:41,100 --> 01:33:42,886
Soldiers of Byzantium!

1095
01:33:43,925 --> 01:33:45,795
Redouble your efforts!

1096
01:33:46,782 --> 01:33:48,255
follow me

1097
01:33:49,515 --> 01:33:51,937
and I will avenge the injustice
what was done to you

1098
01:33:53,266 --> 01:33:57,688
Put yourself in my service and we will drive away
the enemies at the gates of Rome.

1099
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:13,719
- Do you want to follow me?
- We follow you, Cethegus!

1100
01:34:14,179 --> 01:34:18,077
Now we are at the hour of balance.
The battle for Rome is coming.

1101
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,335
For Rome!

1102
