(LOUD MOOING)

Marcus Flavius Aquila.

Fourth Cohort of Gauls,
Second Legion.

Come to relieve
the command.

Lutorius Drusillus Salinator,
acting senior officer.

Where's the
garrison commander?

He left this morning, sir.

Couldn't wait to get away.

Duty roster and the
keys to the pay chest.

No paymaster?

We're too small
a garrison.

Unfortunately, that
job falls to you.

As you probably noticed,

we've had
a little trouble
with the latrines,

but we have someone
working on it.

Unsuccessfully.

So far.

This your first
command, sir?

It is.

What made you
choose Britain?

You have family
connections, I believe.

No.

I've noticed the fort.

It's in a poor state
of repair.

We'll need to do
something about that.

Yes, sir.

(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING OUTSIDE)

CENTURION 1:
Move, soldiers!
Move, move, move!

CENTURION 2:
Get in line, soldier!
You, fall in!

(DRUMMING STOPS)

LUTORIUS:
Our new commander,
Marcus Flavius Aquila.

Where's our newly-
minted commander?

Probably unpacking
his rule book.

GALBA: You mark my words.
Marcus Aquila is tainted.

LUTORIUS: Well, you know
who his father was.

GALBA: The man who lost
The Eagle of The Ninth.

LUTORIUS: Not to mention
5,000 men.

GALBA: That was a little
absentminded.

LUTORIUS: I heard he asked
to be sent here.

GALBA: To this shithole?

LUTORIUS: (LAUGHS) Yeah.

I'm telling you.
I've marched with
the Eagles 23 years.

I know a bad omen
when I see one.

The boy's a bad omen.

Mithras, lord of light,

please help me,
father of our fathers.

Help me lead my men well.

Do not let me
dishonor my legion.

Please help me regain
my family's honor.

(HORN SOUNDING)

Dig it deep, boys!

(PANTING)

Your lives depend
on these defenses!

CENTURION: Move those
poles over there.

You must be accurate
with your striking!

Power, speed and accuracy!

Just been told
the grain delivery
hasn't arrived.

I want you to send out
a patrol to investigate.

GALBA: I wouldn't worry, sir.
One day late,
it's nothing here.

Well, it is to me.

Send out the patrol.

Believe me, sir,
too dangerous.

We've had reports
of a Druid roaming
the villages.

Right now, I would
not send out a patrol.

The men, they
need to eat, too.

CENTURION:
Patrol, forward march!

Left, right, left.

(GASPING)

Wake Lutorius.
Yes, sir.

(FAINT RUSTLING)

Did you hear that?
Sir?

I hope the
patrol's all right.

Seems I may have
got you up for nothing.

What did you hear?

It's cattle,
most likely.

(RUSTLING)

There. That.

Did you hear it?

(EXCLAIMS SOFTLY)
Damn the dark.

Should I call
the men to arms?

If it's only cattle,
they won't thank you.

Better angry than dead.

Call them out.
But in silence.

Yes, sir.

Soldier, wake up.

(EXCLAIMS)
Bloody helmets.

CENTURION:
Come on, come on.
Move, move, move.

(SIGHING ANGRILY)

(BATTLE CRY)

MARCUS: Hold the line!

LUTORIUS: Legion,
hold your positions!
Hold your positions!

Bring me a torch!

Hold steady!

Hold your line!

MARCUS: Centurion,
hold the cohort!

(MEN SCREAMING)

It's coming out!

Sir.
Well done, sir.

Well done, sir.
Sir.

Light of the sun
be with you, brother.

Many more of us would
be lying there, sir.

Is there any sign
of the patrol?

LEGIONARY: Sir!

(GRUNTS)

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

(ALL CHEERING)

(CHEERING)

I'm not leaving
them to die.

Muster 50 of the reserves
and hold them at the gate.

Sir, let me lead them.

It was my decision
to send out the patrol.

It's my responsibility
to bring them back.

Muster the men.

(CHEERING)

CENTURION:
Move it! Move it!

Prepare for battle.

MARCUS: Mithras,
lord of light,

father of our fathers,
let me not bring misfortune
to my legion.

Mithras, lord of light,
father of our fathers,

accept whatever sacrifice
that I may not bring
misfortune to my legion.

On my command,
we form testudo!

Ready! Open the gates!

MARCUS: Legion,
double time, march!

(BATTLE CRY)

Testudo, form!

CENTURION 1: Move forward!
CENTURION 2: Move forward!

Move forward! Advance!

Defensive circle, forward!

CENTURION 3:
Hold the circle!

MARCUS:
Hold the circle!

Hold the circle!
Tighten the circle!

Hold the circle!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Here, cut the
others free.

Hold the circle! Hold!

(HORN SOUNDING)

Close the circle!

(HORN CONTINUES SOUNDING)

Fall back!

Fall back! Run!

Charge!

(URGING HORSES)

MARCUS: Run! Run!

(NEIGHING)

MARCUS:
Father, where
are you, Father?

(YOUNG MARCUS LAUGHING)

(INAUDIBLE)

(MARCUS SHUDDERING)

Father?

(EAGLE SCREECHING)

Rest now.

Lie still.

Still.

Where am I?

You're still in
Britain. Calleva.

Calleva?

Your fort surgeon had
you transferred here.

200 leagues in a mule cart.

With your wound,
it's a wonder you didn't die.

I'm your uncle on
your father's side, Aquila.

No, these are not the
best circumstances

under which to meet,

but assume
you're gonna live,

so we'll have plenty of time
to make your acquaintance.

Now, please
lie still.

The patient must rest.

I hope the medicine
he's gonna give you
does you some good.

It smells repellent.
Like one of his farts.

My men.

What happened
to my men?

Your men were saved.

Thanks to your effort.

Rest now.

AQUILA: Marcus?

Marcus?

You have a visitor.

Lutorius.
Sir.

The men have been
asking after you.

And how are they?

Anxious to know how
their commander fares.

You have some
news for my nephew?

Yes. Sorry.

We have received
word from Rome.

For holding the fort
under extreme duress,

the Fourth Cohort of Gauls

has been awarded
the gilded laurel.

From today,
their standard will carry
its first wreath.

Tell the men I could
not be more proud.

That's not all, sir.

They've awarded you
a military armilla

for conspicuous gallantry.

And an honorable discharge

because of your wounds.

The citation reads,
"Honor and faithfulness."

MARCUS: Honor
and faithfulness.

LUTORIUS: May I be the first
to offer my congratulations?

It was good of
you to come so far.

Sir.

Thank you, Lutorius.

(MARCUS SCREAMING)

Stephanos.

Leave him.

There's no medicine
for that.

(MARCUS GRUNTING)

(SHUDDERING)

CENTURION: Run!

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

AQUILA: Ease him down.

Careful.

Gently.

Fun.

MAN: Go, little guy, go!

What was my father like?

Your father?

Your father was
a perfect Roman,

and everything
that that implies.

The man who lost The Eagle
was the perfect Roman?

How The Eagle was
lost, no one knows.

But if your father
died defending it,

he died honorably.

That's what
we tell ourselves.

But what if he didn't?
What?

What if he was
a coward and ran?

And now a fight
to the death!

(ALL CHEERING)

AQUILA: It's a slave.

A gladiator and a slave's
never a fair contest. Never!

Come on.

Come on. Fight.

Fight!

AQUILA: There's bravery.

He's going to give
himself his death.

(ALL CHEERING)

MAN: Come on, fight.

AQUILA: Look at that.
Look at that.

(GRUNTING)

Go! Come on,
come on, go!

GLADIATOR: Fight!

Fight.

Fight him!

MAN: Fight, slave.

WOMAN: Get up and fight.

Get up. Fight.

Come on.

(PANTING)

(CHEERING)

MAN 1: Kill him!
MAN 2: Kill him!

ALL: (CHANTING)
Kill! Kill! Kill!

(PANTING)

Kill him!

Life. Life!

Life!

Come on, let him live.

Come on, get
your thumbs up!
Come on, you fools!

Life! All of you, life!
Let him live.

Get your thumbs up!
Get your thumbs up!

Life!

MARCUS: Come on, you fools!
Get your thumbs up!

Life!

Come on! Let him live!

(ALL CHEERING)

AQUILA: Now, that I was
not expecting.

Why did you save him?

Stephanos!

I decided Stephanos
is too old to
serve two masters.

I bought you your
own body slave.

I don't need
my own slave.

Marcus.

I should have
been consulted.

Yeah, well,
you weren't.

Slave!

His name's Esca.

I've no use for you.

I had no wish
to be bought.

You should have run.

My uncle wouldn't
have stopped you.

You saved my life.

I have a debt of
honor to you now.

Against your wish.

No man should ever
beg for his life.

You didn't.

I did, on your behalf.
And I meant nothing by it.

I am a son
of the Brigantes,

who never broke his word.

My father's dagger
is my bond.

I hate everything
you stand for.

Everything you are.

But you saved me.

And for that,
I must serve you.

SURGEON:
Who searched this wound?

The surgeon at the fort.

Was he drunk?
I've never seen
such a mess.

You must have been
in constant pain.

AQUILA: Sent him 200 leagues
in a mule cart.

Nearly killed him.

SURGEON:
I'm gonna have to re-open it.
There's still metal in there.

Well, if it's got to be done,
let him do it, right?

It'll be over
before you know it.

I have the best knives
in the business.

Some wine.

Ready?
Ready.

You can go.

No! I'm gonna
need the slave
to hold you down.

MARCUS: Can't
my uncle do it?

Me? No.

No, I've grown to hate
the sight of blood.

Especially the blood of
someone I'm quite fond of.

Be strong.

Quickly now.
Hold him down.

Put your weight
on him, slave!

Harder!

Take a deep breath.

When I say,
"Now," let it out.

Now!

(GROANS)

(EXHALES)

Did I shame myself?

Thank you.

There he is.

(LAUGHS)

(GRUNTING)

Spear!

Now!

Cut him off! Cut him off!

CLAUDIUS: As I remember it,
he seemed pretty fond of you.

Marcus.

May I present my nephew,
Marcus Flavius Aquila.

Claudius Marcellus,
my old friend,

and the esteemed Legate
of the Sixth Legion.

Your uncle's an
old sparring partner.

Tribune Servius Placidus.
An indispensable
member of my staff.

Pleasure.

Supper's ready.
Boiled eggs and fish.

Don't all rush at once.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

PLACIDUS: If it was my choice,
I'd be a soldier all my life.

However, my father will
insist I go into politics.

Have we met before?
Your name sounds familiar.

I doubt it.

The Tribune's Club, in Rome?

(CHUCKLING)

No, I was only
a Cohort Centurion.

Ah, right,
I remember now.

Flavius Aquila.

Your father marched
with the Eagles, too,
did he not?

He commanded the
First Cohort of the Ninth.

Of course. The Ninth.

Every Roman
remembers the Ninth.

Talking of the Ninth,

there's been rumor
recently along the wall.

Rumors. Rumors!

Britain's full of
nothing but rumors.

CLAUDIUS: They say
The Eagle's been seen

receiving divine honors
in some tribal temple
in the far north.

An Eagle in the hands
of the Painted People.
A potent weapon.

One has to wonder
how any Roman
could let it go.

If this were to be true,
surely we should act.

Well, what would Rome say?

Eagle lost, honor lost.
Honor lost, all lost.

Rome would love
to get The Eagle back,

but politics
being politics,

no senator's gonna risk
thousands of lives
on a tainted legion.

My hands are tied.

MARCUS: Not if
you sent one man.

AQUILA: North of the wall?

No Roman could
survive up there.

Has anyone ever tried?

No, and that's
the point, militarily.

To try would be to fail.
How do you know?

One man can hide
where an army can't.

No one would even
know he was there.

It's too risky.
PLACIDUS: Quite right.

The loss of the Ninth
was humiliating enough

without adding another
pointless death.

AQUILA: Marcus.

Marcus.

You can't let the likes
of him do this to you.

He has no notion
of how you and I
have lived our lives.

Ever since
I can remember,

all I've ever wanted
to be was a soldier,
like my father.

I know.

I can still
see him now,

riding away
for the last time.

I can still feel
how proud I was.

My father,

Centurion of
the First Cohort
of the Ninth Legion.

Can you imagine
anything more magnificent

than to be a soldier
and to serve Rome

with courage
and faithfulness?

But you did, son.
For what?

For what?

An honorable discharge?

That is fate.

That's in the hands
of the gods.

When I made Centurion,

they asked me where
I wanted to be posted.

I knew the answer
before they had
even asked it.

Britain.
Britain.

This is where my
father lost The Eagle.

This is where I was
gonna win so much glory

that no Roman would ever dare
bring up his name again.

What do I do now?
What do I do?

I sit and I listen
to some silk-ass
politician's son

piss on our
family's name!

I will not sit in some villa
for the rest of my days,

rotting and remembering.

(LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY)

If I can't win back
my family's honor

by being a soldier,

then I'll do it by
finding the lost Eagle.

You can't.

No Roman can survive
north of the wall alone.

You can't.
Then I'll take Esca.

I can use his knowledge.
He speaks the language.

Esca?
Why not?

Because he's a Briton.

He may not be from
north of the wall,

but he's a Briton.

And he will slit your throat
the minute you're alone.

He wouldn't do that.
How do you know?

He gave me his word!

His word?

He's a slave!

He says what he says
and he does what he does
because he has to.

Once you're beyond
the territories...

MARCUS: If I'm wrong,

then I'll die.

And that's how it should be.

Where are you headed?

North.

(GUARDS LAUGHING)

Didn't they tell you this
is the end of the world?

Just open the
gate, soldier.

(RATTLING)

GUARD: See you in the
afterlife, Roman.

MARCUS: Who did this?

Rogue warriors.

You know, sometimes,

I dream that
I'll find my father
alive up here.

That he survived in
some hidden place.

Is that why you're here?

To find your father?

No.

We're here to
find The Eagle.

How can a piece of metal
mean so much to you?

The Eagle is not
a piece of metal.

The Eagle is Rome.

It's a symbol
of our honor.

Every victory.
Every achievement.

Wherever The Eagle is,
we can say that Rome did that.

You wouldn't understand.

How could you?

My father was Cunoval,

bearer of the
Blue War Shield
of the Brigantes.

Lord of 500 spears.

Seven years ago,
you took our lands

and we rose against you.

My father and
two brothers died.

My mother, also.

My father killed her
before the legionaries
broke through.

He knew what they
would do to her.

She knelt in front of him
and he slit her throat.

Rome also did that.

The Highlands.

Which way?

It's up to you.

Five thousand men
can disappear in
a single glen.

There are
thousands of glens.

ESCA: We could search
for months and still
find nothing.

(EAGLE SCREECHING)

North.

ESCA: Whoever we meet,
let me do the talking.

If they find out
you're a Roman,
they'll kill you.

And me.

(MEN SPEAKING GAELIC)

Don't look.

There's three rogue warriors
behind you across the river.

How many behind me?

I don't see anyone.

They're there.

Are you ready?

(PANTING)

Next time,
don't hesitate.

Stay back.

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

He remembers seeing
the legion march north,

but they never came
back this way.

He must know
more than that.

He says not.

Ask him again.
No.

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

What are you doing?
Stay back!

Enough!

Enough.
No more games.
No more lies.

Ask him where
the legion went.

Ask him!

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

(REPLYING IN GAELIC)

Come on.

(NEIGHING)

Kill him!

Kill him.

Do it now!
Chin-strap scar.

Only a Roman
helmet does that.

He's a legionary.

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

What's your name?

I'm called Guern.

My name is Lucius
Caius Metellus.

First Cohort of
the Ninth Legion.

How have you
survived up here
for so long?

My tribe is called
the Selgovae.

They took me in,
made me one
of their own.

I have a woman,
two sons.

My life is here now.

I don't trust him.

He's a deserter.

MARCUS:
We don't know that.

He's still a Roman.

He was a Roman
when he ran.

I don't know
what your father's
orders were,

but all I know

is that we had it coming.

Why did they have
to come north?

There's nothing
here worth taking.

Couldn't they have
been satisfied
with what they had?

They always have to punish

and push on looking
for more conquests,

more territories,
more wars.

MARCUS: Just tell me
what happened.

When the order came
for the Ninth to march north,

it was autumn.

The worst weather
they'd had in years.

For weeks we marched.

No sign of them.

Suddenly they just
appeared out of the mist.

(VOICES ECHOING)

We could hear them,
picking the men off at
the back, one by one.

Finally, we just stopped
trying to find open ground

and we turned
and faced them.

GUERN: Those last few days
of the legion,

I've never been
so frightened.

We fought back-to-back.

No sleep. Pissing
where we stood.

They came at us
like animals.

This is the killing ground.

All the northern
tribes were here.

But the worst

were the Painted Warriors
of the Seal People.

They hacked the
feet off the dead

so their souls couldn't
walk into the afterlife.

They used those
stones as altars
to kill the officers.

They ripped their hearts out
while they were still alive.

We could hear them
being sacrificed.

My father?

What happened to him?

The last time
I saw your father,

he was surrounded
by the warriors of
the Seal People.

Did he die fighting?

I don't know.

I ran before the end.

A lot of us did.

You coward.

No.

You weren't here.

You don't know
what it was like.

Who has The Eagle?

They say the Seal
People have it.

How do I find them?

He knows.

He's Brigantes.

They fought here.

You always knew
that place existed,
didn't you?

We've wasted
weeks searching,

and all this time you
could have told me.

Your tribe was there.

And they butchered
my father's men
like dogs!

Your father came to kill!

He came to punish us

'cause we would not
bow to the name of Rome!

Yes, I'd heard
of this place.

To me and to all my people,
it is the place of heroes.

How dare you?
You're still my slave!

And you'd be
dead in a ditch
without me!

I saved your
miserable life!

(PANTING)

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

No! What's happening?

No! Esca?

Esca? Esca!

Esca!

(MEN SNORING)

There's no time
now. Let's go.

We have to go now.

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

(BATTLE CRY)

Where'd you get
my father's ring?

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

What did he say?

We have to go.

BOY: Esca?

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

Esca.

If he wakes them,
we're dead.
And you know it.

He has no reason
to protect us.

Do you trust me?

He won't betray us.

(URGING HORSE)

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

Come on!
Come on, boy.

(DOGS GROWLING)

How many days
to the wall?

If we ride hard,
four, maybe five.

They'll never
catch us on foot.

Have you seen
them run?

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

You're wounded.
Why didn't you say?

It's nothing.

It's your bad leg.
Sit down.

We don't have time.
Just sit down.

In the cave, the chief,

what did he say?

Come on, there's
no time right now.

(DOGS BARKING)

They're coming.

Half a day behind.
The wind always lies.

(URGING HORSE)

(EAGLE SCREECHING)

(SQUEAKING)

No fires. It's too risky.

I'm not eating that.

I'm not a savage.

Then die a Roman.

You've lost
a lot of blood.

You need to keep
your strength up.

Eat.

(GAGGING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

It's time to go.

They can take shortcuts
that the horses can't.

(HORSE NEIGHING)

Keep going. Come on!

(URGING HORSE)

Come on!

No!

stick to the river.

They'll double back
soon enough.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(GASPING)

(MARCUS BREATHING RAGGEDLY)

Rest.

We can't.

You need to rest!

Marcus.

You need to rest.

(COUGHING)

Come on.

(GASPING)

I can't go on.

Yes, you can.
You just need to rest.

Take The Eagle.

If you find horses,
come back.

(COUGHING)

If not,
just keep south.

Make sure this
gets back to Rome.

I'm not leaving you here.

Do not dishonor me.
Take it.

I came this
far with you.

I won't leave you now.

Esca,

I order you.

Take it.

I swore an oath of honor
never to abandon you.

If you want me to leave,

set me free.

Give me my freedom.

You're free.

You're free, my friend.

Take it.

No.

I will return.

(SHUDDERING)

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

(PANTING)

(DOGS BARKING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Legion, halt!

ESCA: Your
father's legionaries.

You were wrong.

The dead can live.

My shame would not allow me
to tell you this before,

but I watched
your father die.

Whatever anyone tells you,
he was not a coward.

He stood his ground
to the very end.

I saw it.

The last Roman
to hold The Eagle
was your father.

The order, sir.

You've honored my
father's memory enough.

You don't have to do this.
No.

When I ran from your father

(DOGS BARKING)

I ran from myself.

(SEAL PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Give the order, sir.

Prepare to defend
The Eagle!

Esca!

(SPEAKING GAELIC)

Out swords!

(BATTLE CRY)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

MARCUS: Let us remember
the men who fought and died
in the name of honor.

Romans and Britons.

My father and yours.

Fathers,

brothers,

sons,

may peace and
honor follow you.

May you know
no more strife.

May your souls
take flight and soar

with The Eagle
of The Ninth.

For my father.

My dear boy.

I congratulate you.
Rome congratulates you.

And your family's
good name is restored.

The Senate will want
to re-form the Ninth.

Perhaps they can reward
you with its command.

However did you do it?

With only a slave
to help you.

He's not a slave!

And he knows more
about honor and freedom
than you ever will.

So what now?

You decide.
