﻿1
00:01:52,571 --> 00:01:54,739
Brutus.

2
00:02:01,497 --> 00:02:03,748
Brutus.

3
00:02:15,511 --> 00:02:18,638
Domina. Domina, please don't do that.

4
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,686
I'm so sorry.

5
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,193
Why don't you lie down? You're very tired.

6
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:34,570
Yes...

7
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:36,531
I'm...

8
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:39,033
very tired.

9
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:41,661
Would you like some willow water?

10
00:02:43,914 --> 00:02:45,832
Would I?

11
00:02:45,958 --> 00:02:47,291
It will help you sleep.

12
00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:53,673
No. No more sleep.

13
00:03:10,649 --> 00:03:12,817
Oh, come along, cheer up.

14
00:03:12,943 --> 00:03:15,319
You can't cry at your own wedding.

15
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:21,450
Show her how lovely she looks.

16
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:28,416
- I look horrid.
- No, you're beautiful.

17
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:33,379
Gods, still weeping.

18
00:03:33,505 --> 00:03:36,048
I went to a lot of trouble
to arrange this marriage.

19
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,718
Please don't ruin it.

20
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:42,179
There's not many men
willing to marry a penniless orphan.

21
00:03:42,306 --> 00:03:45,308
I'm sorry. I am very grateful.

22
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:51,397
It's just... I'm sure he's a very nice man.

23
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:53,691
It's just, I had always imagined

24
00:03:53,817 --> 00:03:56,819
I'd wed someone...

25
00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:58,529
Someone different.

26
00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:01,824
You won't wed anyone at all
if you come out all red and puffy.

27
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:12,084
I know men.

28
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:17,006
And this one will make a lovely husband.

29
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:32,730
When and where you are Gaia,

30
00:04:32,856 --> 00:04:36,233
there and then I am Gaius.

31
00:04:39,363 --> 00:04:40,696
Yes, sorry.

32
00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:43,991
When and where you are Gaius,

33
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:47,203
then and there, I am Gaia.

34
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:03,052
Makes you think, doesn't it?

35
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:06,305
- About what?
- About marriage.

36
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:11,894
- Does it?
- The two of us.

37
00:05:13,605 --> 00:05:15,982
With the augur here,
we might as well do it now.

38
00:05:16,108 --> 00:05:17,733
Quick and simple.

39
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:22,571
When we get married,
It'll have to be the best wedding ever seen.

40
00:05:22,698 --> 00:05:25,074
You deserve nothing less.

41
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:28,953
Just a thought.

42
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,167
This augur moves like a snail.

43
00:05:35,293 --> 00:05:37,253
Atia of the Julii,

44
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:39,964
I call for justice!

45
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:42,383
Atia of the Julii,

46
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:44,635
I call for justice.

47
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:47,304
Atia of the Julii,

48
00:05:47,431 --> 00:05:50,141
I call for justice.

49
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:52,476
Excuse me for a moment.

50
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:55,187
Atia of the Julii,

51
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:58,065
I call for justice.

52
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:00,484
Atia of the Julii,

53
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:03,487
I call for justice.

54
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:06,115
Atia of the Julii,

55
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:08,826
I call for justice.

56
00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:11,328
Atia of the Julii,

57
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:14,665
I call for justice.

58
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:17,251
Atia of the Julii,

59
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,712
I call for justice.

60
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:23,674
- Atia of the Julii, I call for justice.
- Ludicrous old bat.

61
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,763
- What shall we do?
- Atia of the Julii, I call for justice.

62
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,474
Nothing. Nothing at all.

63
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,477
She'll go away soon enough
if we just ignore her.

64
00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:43,360
Hey, wife.

65
00:06:45,363 --> 00:06:47,698
Sun's been up for hours.

66
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,367
It's time to get up.

67
00:06:50,494 --> 00:06:51,994
Soon.

68
00:06:54,331 --> 00:06:57,374
While we're here...

69
00:06:57,501 --> 00:06:59,043
No.

70
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:01,712
You don't know what I was gonna ask.

71
00:07:01,838 --> 00:07:04,173
You want to make love.

72
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:06,509
That's an idea.

73
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,552
No good for baby.

74
00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:10,596
He won't mind.

75
00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:12,681
Maybe she.

76
00:07:12,808 --> 00:07:16,060
She won't mind, neither.

77
00:07:16,186 --> 00:07:20,064
No good for baby. Priest says so.

78
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,733
Priest? Priest?

79
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:25,069
What priest?

80
00:07:25,195 --> 00:07:27,196
Priest in my country.

81
00:07:29,241 --> 00:07:32,326
Well, we're not in your country, are we?

82
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:35,704
When baby start to move, no love.

83
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:37,623
Is rules.

84
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:40,251
The baby's moving?

85
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:43,379
Yes, feel.

86
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:00,771
So we have no choice
but to use the deeper berths in Ostia.

87
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:04,608
We now have grain ships
in excess of 10,000 amphorae.

88
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:10,281
Tricky. Those berths have been
reserved for our oil ships

89
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:12,741
since fuck knows when, way back.

90
00:08:12,868 --> 00:08:14,827
Well, that's no reason to keep it so.

91
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:19,165
- Times change.
- So you keep saying.

92
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:23,043
I'll allow you to use our berths,

93
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:24,795
but we'll take 5% of the grain

94
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:27,715
and the ships will be unloaded by my own men.

95
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:31,260
Bollocks. That's a license for thievery.

96
00:08:31,386 --> 00:08:33,470
If we were thieves.

97
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:37,975
I'll give you the 5%, but Mascius
will go down to Ostia

98
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:40,644
and he will supervise the dock work.

99
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:43,272
I'll leave today.

100
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:45,608
As you wish.

101
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:22,436
Atia of the Julii,

102
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:24,063
I call for justice.

103
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:25,689
Atia of the Julii,

104
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:27,233
I call for justice.

105
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:29,360
Atia of the Julii,

106
00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:31,362
I call for justice.

107
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:33,405
Atia of the Julii,

108
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:34,865
I call for justice.

109
00:09:34,991 --> 00:09:36,867
Atia of the Julii,

110
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:38,410
I call for justice.

111
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:40,412
Atia of the Julii,

112
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:41,914
I call for justice.

113
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,041
Good morning, all.

114
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,168
You're late.

115
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:50,714
Posca's wedding yesterday.

116
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:55,594
I'm afraid I drank rather too much.

117
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,598
I could not get out of bed,
no matter how hard I tried.

118
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:04,395
I have the most shocking headache.

119
00:10:04,521 --> 00:10:07,439
So you must both speak very quietly

120
00:10:07,565 --> 00:10:10,943
or I shall shatter into a thousand little pieces.

121
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:24,039
I've been approached by a number
of eminent friends among the Senate.

122
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,626
They are troubled.

123
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:31,255
I do not say that they have grounds for anxiety,

124
00:10:31,381 --> 00:10:34,216
but I feel I would be remiss
if I did not communicate...

125
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:37,261
- Do get on with it, man.
- Yes, yes.

126
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,807
They're worried that perhaps we three intend

127
00:10:42,851 --> 00:10:44,935
to establish some form of...

128
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:46,603
tyranny.

129
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:49,857
And who are these worriers?

130
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:52,234
- Give me names.
- That's awkward.

131
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,029
They spoke to me in confidence.

132
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,364
I'll bet they did.

133
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:02,244
You tell your eminent friends
to shut their mouths.

134
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:05,956
Tell them to go look
on Cicero's hands in the Forum

135
00:11:06,082 --> 00:11:08,167
and remember what happens

136
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:11,670
to those that prattle of tyranny.

137
00:11:11,796 --> 00:11:14,798
I only mention it.
I would be remiss if I did not.

138
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:16,800
You're quite right, Lepidus.

139
00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:18,844
Quite right.

140
00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:21,013
Now, shall we get down to business?

141
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:23,515
Yes, by all means.

142
00:11:23,641 --> 00:11:26,352
Clearly, we three cannot
all rule together at once.

143
00:11:26,478 --> 00:11:28,604
We shall confuse and contradict each other.

144
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,648
- True enough.
- We must divide responsibilities.

145
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,110
What are you proposing?

146
00:11:35,236 --> 00:11:38,030
I suggest we divide
the territory of Rome into three.

147
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:40,783
Each one of us shall assume
command of one region.

148
00:11:46,122 --> 00:11:48,582
Sounds reasonable.

149
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:52,378
Who gets what?

150
00:11:52,504 --> 00:11:54,421
I haven't considered that yet.

151
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,465
But Rome is a very complex machine.

152
00:11:56,591 --> 00:11:59,927
One can't simply chop it up like cabbage.

153
00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:16,652
You should have Rome and the west.

154
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:24,410
And I will make do with
Egypt and the eastern provinces.

155
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:31,333
- Objections?
- Rome and the west has what?

156
00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:35,379
Rowdy Gauls, Germans, a fractious Senate,

157
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:38,674
all the trouble of keeping
the Roman mob happy.

158
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,261
The east is where the money is,

159
00:12:42,387 --> 00:12:45,389
the grain supply, most of the tax revenue.

160
00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:49,351
Well, all the revenues
would be divided equally, of course.

161
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:51,937
It would be a purely administrative division.

162
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:56,191
All monies would be held in a single treasury.

163
00:12:56,860 --> 00:13:00,529
- That would work.
- And I?

164
00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:03,991
What would I get?

165
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:08,537
Yes.

166
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:18,213
Africa.

167
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:24,678
Atia of the Julii,

168
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:27,264
I call for justice.

169
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:29,600
Atia of the Julii,

170
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:32,436
I call for justice.

171
00:13:32,562 --> 00:13:34,980
Atia of the Julii,

172
00:13:35,106 --> 00:13:37,441
I call for justice.

173
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:39,943
Atia of the Julii...

174
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:42,613
What is this? Is she putting down roots?

175
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:44,698
Atia of the Julii,

176
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:47,659
I call for justice.

177
00:13:47,785 --> 00:13:50,370
Atia of the Julii,

178
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,664
I call for justice.

179
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,374
Atia of the Julii...

180
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:56,793
So...

181
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,588
How goes your day?

182
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:01,632
Mine went extremely well.

183
00:14:01,758 --> 00:14:04,593
She's driving me mad. It's completely unfair.

184
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:06,678
It wasn't me who killed her precious son.

185
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:11,600
- She should be wailing outside your house.
- She just wants a little attention.

186
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:15,270
Go out. Let her rant at you a while.

187
00:14:15,396 --> 00:14:17,689
She'll soon leave.

188
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:20,817
And have her curse at me
in front of a mob of ogling plebs?

189
00:14:20,944 --> 00:14:23,862
Never. I wouldn't give her that pleasure.

190
00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:25,405
It's up to you.

191
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:29,368
But I guarantee
she won't leave until she's seen you.

192
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:32,621
Atia of the Julii...

193
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:36,959
Stop pushing!

194
00:14:38,086 --> 00:14:40,420
Wait your turn, woman!

195
00:14:40,547 --> 00:14:42,297
My family is begging for food!

196
00:14:46,803 --> 00:14:48,512
Seen you on line before.

197
00:14:48,638 --> 00:14:50,597
Me? No.

198
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:54,351
This looks like a fake to me.

199
00:14:54,477 --> 00:14:56,395
I bet you don't even live on the Aventine.

200
00:14:56,521 --> 00:14:58,981
No fake. I swear
to you by the sacred black stone.

201
00:14:59,107 --> 00:15:02,234
Get out and don't let me
catch you around here again.

202
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:05,654
Get off!

203
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,379
Did you bring in wood?

204
00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:26,675
- Not yet.
- Go do.

205
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:29,678
- No hurry.
- Get wood now.

206
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:33,348
Get it yourself. I'm busy.

207
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,226
I give you an order.

208
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:38,186
Kiss my ass.

209
00:15:42,025 --> 00:15:44,568
Go ahead. Try.

210
00:15:44,694 --> 00:15:46,528
I'll shove it down your throat.

211
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:48,071
You'll be sorry.

212
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:53,076
My husband will beat you in pulp.

213
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:58,290
Go on, on your way.

214
00:16:01,044 --> 00:16:03,170
Fake.

215
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:06,923
Half the people in the line had them.

216
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:08,759
Well made.

217
00:16:08,885 --> 00:16:11,803
Maybe one of the other collegia
trying to fuck things up.

218
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:14,473
- Memmio, I expect.
- Very likely.

219
00:16:14,599 --> 00:16:18,101
- What do we do?
- Nothing.

220
00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:22,022
Lost me there.

221
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,066
Memmio is dishonest and greedy.

222
00:16:24,192 --> 00:16:26,109
Nothing we can do can change that.

223
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:29,112
If he thinks he's deceiving us, then he's happy.

224
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:31,031
And I want everyone to be happy.

225
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:33,367
That's how we keep the peace. We do nothing.

226
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,118
But he's stealing from us.

227
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:37,454
People who need food are getting fed.

228
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,332
What matter where they live exactly?

229
00:16:42,585 --> 00:16:44,294
You must go to beat her dead!

230
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:47,255
- Calm down. Beat who?
- That whore, that Gaia.

231
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:50,092
- You beat her dead!
- What's she done now?

232
00:16:50,218 --> 00:16:54,596
She wouldn't bring in wood like I tell her.
Then she say she'll choke me with a stick.

233
00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:58,558
- What?
- She say she's gonna choke me with a stick.

234
00:16:58,685 --> 00:17:01,978
I don't understand. Why would she do that?
What did you do to her?

235
00:17:02,105 --> 00:17:03,855
Perfect. Now it's my fault?

236
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:06,900
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
- Eirene.

237
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:10,153
Oh, cack.

238
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,239
What do I do?

239
00:17:12,365 --> 00:17:14,991
- Don't look at me.
- Very funny.

240
00:17:15,118 --> 00:17:18,787
If I go and beat Gaia like she deserves,
what do you think Mascius will do?

241
00:17:18,913 --> 00:17:21,998
- She's his girl.
- It's a puzzle, all right.

242
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:25,919
Where's Mascius? Maybe if I go and talk
to him man to man, he can chastise her.

243
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:28,171
He's in Ostia. The new grain-ship business.

244
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:29,673
Oh, cack.

245
00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:34,386
Maybe if you were to give her the beating...

246
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:37,556
I will if you want.

247
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:43,937
No. It's my wife she insulted,
my responsibility.

248
00:17:45,523 --> 00:17:48,650
Marriage, it's complicated.

249
00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:53,697
With her pregnant now...
I think it drives them a little mad.

250
00:17:55,491 --> 00:17:57,242
Here's to a boy.

251
00:17:57,368 --> 00:17:59,286
A boy.

252
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,756
Chief.

253
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:16,094
What's that for?

254
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:18,930
Don't make a fuss now.

255
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:23,351
What? You're gonna whip me?

256
00:18:23,478 --> 00:18:24,770
I am.

257
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:27,898
Why would you want to do that?

258
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:30,066
You know damn well why.

259
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:35,947
- Tell me.
- You disrespected my wife.

260
00:18:37,074 --> 00:18:39,534
Oh, that. She tried to hit me.

261
00:18:40,203 --> 00:18:43,497
She's lady of this house. You're a slave!
She's allowed to hit you.

262
00:18:43,623 --> 00:18:44,748
Now let's get it done.

263
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:47,667
It's hard to remember
she's married to the boss.

264
00:18:47,794 --> 00:18:51,254
I mean, nothing against her.
It's just not natural.

265
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:53,590
She's such a mouse of a woman.

266
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:55,675
You're such a lion of a man.

267
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:59,012
Gerrae. You know nothing of us.

268
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:00,806
Mouse.

269
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:05,227
Lion. Anyone can see.

270
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,483
What sort of animal does that make you?

271
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:14,361
What kind of animal do you want me to be?

272
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:19,407
The kind that will bend over
and take her whipping without complaint.

273
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:22,369
I could do that for you.

274
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:28,083
But you've got to treat me nice first.

275
00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:31,419
Just shut it, all right?
Just shut it and come here.

276
00:19:31,546 --> 00:19:33,463
What will Mascius do if you beat me?

277
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:36,716
I don't give a fuck.
Mascius will do what I tell him.

278
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,719
No, Mascius does what I tell him.

279
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:41,054
Oh, yeah?

280
00:19:42,473 --> 00:19:43,890
More fool him, then.

281
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:46,852
Fuck you!

282
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,112
What are you gonna do now?

283
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:04,012
Is that all you got?

284
00:21:33,834 --> 00:21:35,794
This was a mistake.

285
00:21:37,546 --> 00:21:39,631
This never happens again.

286
00:21:41,092 --> 00:21:43,551
Shame.

287
00:21:43,678 --> 00:21:46,471
You and me go nicely together,
don't you think?

288
00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:49,933
You and me are nothing.

289
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:52,936
But what if I misbehave again?

290
00:21:53,062 --> 00:21:55,730
You gotta keep me disciplined, haven't you?

291
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,776
Don't test me, girl.

292
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:02,112
I'm warning you.

293
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:04,948
You'll be sorry.

294
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:06,825
Relax.

295
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:13,039
Where's it say a man can't have his slaves
if he wants?

296
00:22:16,419 --> 00:22:18,920
I can kill them too,

297
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:21,172
if I want.

298
00:22:23,217 --> 00:22:25,427
You can.

299
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:28,263
You can do anything you like.

300
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:48,825
Atia of the Julii,

301
00:22:48,951 --> 00:22:51,327
I call for justice.

302
00:22:51,454 --> 00:22:53,997
Atia of the Julii,

303
00:22:54,123 --> 00:22:56,541
I call for justice.

304
00:22:56,667 --> 00:22:59,335
Atia of the Julii,

305
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:02,839
I call for justice...

306
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:06,384
I give up. I give up! I give up!

307
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:08,678
Atia of the Julii,

308
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:11,139
I call for justice.

309
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:12,932
Atia of the Julii,

310
00:23:13,059 --> 00:23:15,643
I call for justice.

311
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:17,937
Atia of the Julii

312
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:19,773
- I call for justice.
- Here, then!

313
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,529
Here I am, you crazy bitch!

314
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:30,450
Speak your piece and then be gone.
Here I am!

315
00:23:40,503 --> 00:23:42,670
Gods below...

316
00:23:46,175 --> 00:23:49,552
I am Servilia

317
00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:51,721
of the most ancient

318
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:54,140
and sacred Junii,

319
00:23:54,266 --> 00:24:00,188
of whose bones the seven hills
of Rome are built.

320
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:04,275
I summon you to listen.

321
00:24:08,239 --> 00:24:10,907
Curse this woman.

322
00:24:12,076 --> 00:24:15,203
Send her bitterness and despair

323
00:24:15,329 --> 00:24:18,081
for all of her life.

324
00:24:18,207 --> 00:24:20,625
Let her taste nothing

325
00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:24,045
but ashes and iron.

326
00:24:25,256 --> 00:24:28,424
Gods of the Underworld,

327
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:31,052
all that I have left

328
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:34,139
I give to you in sacrifice

329
00:24:34,265 --> 00:24:36,766
if you will make it so.

330
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:44,732
My God.

331
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:20,268
Now that is an exit.

332
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:32,280
Come. Come back inside.

333
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:42,415
She's dead.

334
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:02,894
All citizens be aware

335
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:05,438
that the vassal Prince Herod,

336
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:07,190
Tetrarch of Galilee,

337
00:26:07,316 --> 00:26:09,025
has come to the city.

338
00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:11,319
By order of the Triumvirate,

339
00:26:11,445 --> 00:26:13,238
during his residence here,

340
00:26:13,364 --> 00:26:18,034
all mockery of Jews and their one God

341
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,080
shall be kept to an appropriate minimum.

342
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:31,631
I am told
Roman gentlemen do not solicit bribes.

343
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:36,719
One must offer the bribe as a gift.
Is that so?

344
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:38,805
Yes.

345
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:40,890
Yes, that is so.

346
00:26:42,851 --> 00:26:46,813
We are the most dreadful
hypocrites, I'm afraid.

347
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:51,401
I offer you a gift, then.

348
00:26:51,527 --> 00:26:53,778
Help me take the throne of Judea,

349
00:26:53,904 --> 00:26:58,574
make my enemies your enemies,
and I offer you a substantial gift.

350
00:27:02,371 --> 00:27:05,248
How substantial would this gift be?

351
00:27:05,374 --> 00:27:07,583
How substantial does it need to be?

352
00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:09,419
20,000 pounds of gold.

353
00:27:09,545 --> 00:27:11,546
Done.

354
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,049
I said we should have asked for more.

355
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:18,261
You must guarantee, of course,

356
00:27:18,387 --> 00:27:20,722
to keep your Jews in line.

357
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:26,227
They will do as I say,
or they will suffer the consequences.

358
00:27:27,730 --> 00:27:29,272
Congratulations then, Herod.

359
00:27:29,398 --> 00:27:31,649
You have the full backing of Rome.

360
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:33,609
One question.

361
00:27:33,736 --> 00:27:37,280
- Yes.
- Our friends, Octavian and Lepidus.

362
00:27:37,406 --> 00:27:38,865
You speak for them too?

363
00:27:39,908 --> 00:27:43,244
I do. We speak with one voice.

364
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,707
So they will not come to me later
expecting gifts of their own?

365
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:53,087
- No, your gift is for all of us.
- Good.

366
00:27:53,922 --> 00:27:58,593
Wonderful to have such trust
between friends.

367
00:28:09,271 --> 00:28:12,106
That is what I call a good morning's work.

368
00:28:13,275 --> 00:28:16,069
Indeed. A good morning's work.

369
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:20,198
May I inquire what my share will be?

370
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:22,617
Share? Share of what?

371
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:25,161
Of Herod's gift.

372
00:28:25,287 --> 00:28:28,581
- What gift?
- I see.

373
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:31,000
Do you?

374
00:28:31,126 --> 00:28:33,544
Let me be clear.

375
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,588
There was no gift.

376
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:40,134
Herod came here today
to discuss administrative issues

377
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:42,553
of taxes on olive groves,

378
00:28:42,679 --> 00:28:46,224
of border defenses against the Parthians.

379
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:49,268
- There was no gift.
- I understand.

380
00:28:50,646 --> 00:28:52,772
Really, Posca,

381
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:55,566
ever since you got your freedom,

382
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:58,528
you have become insufferably greedy.

383
00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:02,031
Go home, have a good lunch,

384
00:29:02,157 --> 00:29:05,368
make love to your pretty young wife,

385
00:29:05,494 --> 00:29:09,539
but do stop grubbing about
after other people's money.

386
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:14,335
Trust me, you'll be far more content.

387
00:29:26,890 --> 00:29:29,267
Scum.

388
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:31,727
Bastard scum!

389
00:29:31,854 --> 00:29:34,355
What good is shouting at him on the street?

390
00:29:34,481 --> 00:29:36,858
It's childish. You'll only get into trouble.

391
00:29:36,984 --> 00:29:39,026
He's worse than his father.

392
00:29:39,153 --> 00:29:42,071
He'll make our people slaves and idolaters.

393
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:44,323
He should die. The bastard should die!

394
00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:47,618
Well, it would be a mitzvah, no doubt.

395
00:29:47,744 --> 00:29:49,829
I'm serious.

396
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:52,582
Come on. Us?

397
00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:55,543
If not us, then who?

398
00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:58,629
Herod is here. We are here.

399
00:29:58,755 --> 00:30:02,425
The future of our people is in our hands.

400
00:30:28,994 --> 00:30:31,287
Salve, Maecenas.

401
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:33,372
Hello, Posca.

402
00:30:38,253 --> 00:30:40,880
Might I have a word?

403
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:45,885
I suppose, if you must.

404
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:50,515
It strikes me you're the sort of man

405
00:30:50,641 --> 00:30:53,726
that knows how to keep a confidence.

406
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:55,853
Yes.

407
00:30:57,606 --> 00:31:02,652
If a man were to tell you something
in confidence,

408
00:31:02,778 --> 00:31:07,448
you might tell others,
but you would not reveal your source.

409
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,953
No.

410
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:24,298
And perhaps you're the sort of man
that knows how to properly...

411
00:31:25,425 --> 00:31:27,426
reward...

412
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:30,346
those who confide in him.

413
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:32,682
You have me exactly.

414
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:35,059
You're a fine judge of character.

415
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,146
Those lions you bought me were useless.

416
00:31:39,273 --> 00:31:43,401
Wouldn't pull my chariot for shit
and bit the arm off a perfectly good groom.

417
00:31:43,527 --> 00:31:45,987
They are temperamental animals.

418
00:31:46,113 --> 00:31:48,864
I am very fortunate to have a giraffe,

419
00:31:48,991 --> 00:31:50,575
should you be interested.

420
00:31:50,701 --> 00:31:54,120
What would I do with a giraffe?

421
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:56,497
Camels, perhaps?

422
00:31:56,623 --> 00:32:00,001
Camels? Do I look
like a fucking date merchant?

423
00:32:00,127 --> 00:32:03,004
Lions that run!

424
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,881
Get out.

425
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:11,470
Now, what news, young Caesar?

426
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:14,682
What is one-third of 20,000?

427
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:19,270
6,666 or thereabouts.

428
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:21,397
Do you take me for a fool?

429
00:32:21,523 --> 00:32:24,400
Question after question.

430
00:32:24,526 --> 00:32:27,236
Makes for very poor conversation.

431
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:30,364
If you have a grievance, just say what it is.

432
00:32:30,490 --> 00:32:32,283
We had an agreement.

433
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:35,995
- We would share all revenue.
- Yes.

434
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:40,791
Herod has agreed to give you
20,000 pounds of gold.

435
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:42,918
I want my share.

436
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:45,588
Who told you this?

437
00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:47,715
You deny?

438
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:53,220
- Who told him?
- I've bought one of Herod's people.

439
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,891
Do you deny it?

440
00:32:57,017 --> 00:33:00,436
If Herod is kind enough to give me a gift,

441
00:33:00,562 --> 00:33:02,480
what business is it of yours?

442
00:33:02,606 --> 00:33:04,482
A gift is not revenue.

443
00:33:04,608 --> 00:33:08,486
It is not a gift. It is a bribe
for political and military favors,

444
00:33:08,612 --> 00:33:11,739
the cost of which favors
shall be borne by the state.

445
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:14,992
- Pedantry.
- Let us be realistic.

446
00:33:15,118 --> 00:33:17,703
This arrangement of ours cannot work

447
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:19,705
if you seek every opportunity

448
00:33:19,831 --> 00:33:22,500
to aggrandize yourself at my expense.

449
00:33:25,921 --> 00:33:27,922
Aggrandize myself?

450
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:33,594
This from the boy who...
whose so-called father

451
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,013
has been declared a god.

452
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,100
An honor he well deserves.

453
00:33:39,226 --> 00:33:43,979
You only did it so that you might be known
as the son of a god.

454
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:45,981
You have no accomplishments of your own,

455
00:33:46,108 --> 00:33:50,277
so you seek to borrow the glory of others.

456
00:33:50,404 --> 00:33:54,949
It's true. It was no accomplishment
to defeat you at Mutina.

457
00:33:55,075 --> 00:33:57,576
You defeated me?

458
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:02,623
You cowardly little shit!

459
00:34:02,749 --> 00:34:05,000
He'd never even left his tent.

460
00:34:05,127 --> 00:34:09,422
You have never defeated me in anything.

461
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,675
Gentlemen, gentlemen,
let's not get overheated.

462
00:34:12,801 --> 00:34:15,803
I'm sure we can come to some
kind of reasonable agreement.

463
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:19,849
I had hoped you might have learned
some humility and discipline.

464
00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:25,938
I see now that you are still
the same crude, arrogant lech

465
00:34:26,064 --> 00:34:28,023
you always were.

466
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:30,901
That's right, just the same.

467
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:34,196
And still fucking your mother!

468
00:34:45,709 --> 00:34:47,543
Are you all right?

469
00:34:47,669 --> 00:34:49,545
Yes, nothing.

470
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:52,173
- Do you want to go lie down?
- No, it's fine.

471
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:57,428
Anything else, Mistress?

472
00:34:57,554 --> 00:34:59,555
Water.

473
00:35:07,898 --> 00:35:10,191
Master?

474
00:35:10,317 --> 00:35:12,318
No. Nothing.

475
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:21,577
See? Good slave now,

476
00:35:21,703 --> 00:35:24,455
ever since you gave her a good beating.

477
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:27,875
There you go.

478
00:35:30,295 --> 00:35:33,130
You should beat her
the same way every month.

479
00:35:45,894 --> 00:35:50,773
If she wakes before I'm back,
tell her I've gone to Lyde's temple.

480
00:36:07,624 --> 00:36:11,961
Tell me again about the farm.
What kind of animals will we have?

481
00:36:12,087 --> 00:36:14,964
Sheep,

482
00:36:15,090 --> 00:36:17,132
goats,

483
00:36:17,259 --> 00:36:19,176
- pigs.
- And chickens?

484
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:22,805
Yes, horses as well. Elephants, if you like.

485
00:36:22,931 --> 00:36:25,474
- Sons of Dis, will you...
- What's the matter?

486
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,769
I'm sorry. It's not you, it's...

487
00:36:28,895 --> 00:36:31,438
It's business matters...

488
00:36:31,565 --> 00:36:33,440
Forget it.

489
00:36:33,567 --> 00:36:35,818
Give me a kiss.

490
00:36:35,944 --> 00:36:37,778
Do you still love me?

491
00:36:37,904 --> 00:36:40,823
Of course.

492
00:36:40,949 --> 00:36:42,908
Very much.

493
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,920
Omnipor, I've been looking...

494
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:58,257
Oh, excuse me.

495
00:37:01,845 --> 00:37:03,721
- Is that...
- It's nobody.

496
00:37:03,847 --> 00:37:05,890
It's just a girl. I'll see you outside.

497
00:37:07,309 --> 00:37:10,644
- That's the daughter of Lucius Vorenus.
- No, it's not.

498
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,814
Don't fuck me about.
I've got eyes, haven't I?

499
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,150
How long's this been going on?

500
00:37:16,276 --> 00:37:17,651
A few months.

501
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:22,531
Are you insane? You know
what disrespect this shows your father?

502
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:26,827
- I don't care. I hate him.
- But think what will happen if he finds out.

503
00:37:26,953 --> 00:37:30,998
If I smile at him and serve his damn soup
like a good daughter, he thinks it's fine.

504
00:37:31,124 --> 00:37:33,500
- He won't find out.
- Will he not?

505
00:37:33,627 --> 00:37:38,213
Him and me are friends by oath. It is my duty
to be honest with him. I'll have to tell him.

506
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:41,717
- You can't. You can't tell him!
- Sorry, love, but if I don't tell him

507
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:43,761
I'm just as guilty as you two, aren't I?

508
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:46,972
And what if he finds out?
He'll never believe I didn't know.

509
00:37:47,098 --> 00:37:49,808
His precious daughter and one of my men.

510
00:37:49,935 --> 00:37:52,019
He'll have my guts!

511
00:37:52,145 --> 00:37:54,146
This is a right fucking mess.

512
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,815
Please, sir, don't tell him.

513
00:37:56,942 --> 00:37:58,776
He'll kill her.

514
00:37:58,902 --> 00:38:01,111
No, he won't go that far, I shouldn't think.

515
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:02,905
Yes, he will. You know him.

516
00:38:03,031 --> 00:38:05,699
He's an animal.
He killed my mother. He'll kill me.

517
00:38:05,825 --> 00:38:10,496
But what am I to do?
You've put me in an impossible position here.

518
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:13,666
I'll do anything you say.
Just please don't tell him.

519
00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:20,089
I don't know.

520
00:38:20,215 --> 00:38:22,800
Maybe.

521
00:38:24,219 --> 00:38:25,886
Maybe I can help you out.

522
00:38:26,888 --> 00:38:29,014
Thank you.

523
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:33,602
Would you do something for me in return?

524
00:38:34,896 --> 00:38:37,272
Anything.

525
00:38:37,857 --> 00:38:41,026
Me and him do a lot of business together.

526
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:44,697
If you kept your ears and eyes open,

527
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:46,657
told me what was going on,

528
00:38:46,783 --> 00:38:48,826
that would be very helpful to me.

529
00:38:48,952 --> 00:38:50,786
I can do that.

530
00:38:50,912 --> 00:38:52,913
Good girl.

531
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:56,000
It's settled, then.

532
00:38:56,126 --> 00:39:01,463
- Herod's gift will be shared three ways.
- Minus a finder's commission.

533
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:05,759
Each of you will consult the other
before naming any officials above aedile rank.

534
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:11,015
The same goes for the appointment of
foreign chieftains, princes, kings and so forth.

535
00:39:11,141 --> 00:39:13,142
Now, all monies received,

536
00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:15,978
including taxes,
customs revenue, military spoils

537
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:18,605
and informal gifts and bribes,

538
00:39:18,732 --> 00:39:20,816
will be placed in the treasury

539
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:23,527
under the supervision of a Saturnine priest.

540
00:39:23,653 --> 00:39:25,863
Fine.

541
00:39:25,989 --> 00:39:28,741
And now you must shake hands.

542
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:35,205
Lovely. Friends again.

543
00:39:35,331 --> 00:39:36,707
That wasn't so hard, was it?

544
00:39:36,833 --> 00:39:39,084
No. If we're all done, I have work to do.

545
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:42,713
You do realize your two bickering
has put the whole city in a panic?

546
00:39:42,839 --> 00:39:45,340
I'll have the newsreader say something,

547
00:39:45,467 --> 00:39:47,760
"Renewed vows of amity" and so forth.

548
00:39:47,886 --> 00:39:50,387
No one believes what the newsreader says.

549
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,058
You have some notion you wish to suggest?

550
00:39:54,851 --> 00:39:56,560
I do.

551
00:39:58,271 --> 00:40:02,232
If a marriage was to happen
between our two houses,

552
00:40:02,358 --> 00:40:04,485
no one could doubt all was well.

553
00:40:04,611 --> 00:40:07,738
Well, I don't care if all Italy burns,

554
00:40:07,864 --> 00:40:10,324
I'll not marry him.

555
00:40:12,035 --> 00:40:13,994
It's not a bad idea.

556
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,456
It would be a strong expression of unity.

557
00:40:17,582 --> 00:40:20,667
And the plebs love a good wedding.

558
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:27,466
I have no objection.

559
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:30,552
Thank you. I should think not.

560
00:40:31,179 --> 00:40:33,514
We should discuss it, at least.

561
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:37,518
We could do it after Lupercalia.
It's very auspicious.

562
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:47,736
What?

563
00:40:47,862 --> 00:40:53,242
If we are to discuss a marriage contract,
it's inappropriate for a woman to be present.

564
00:40:53,368 --> 00:40:56,995
Yes, sorry. Carry on.

565
00:40:57,122 --> 00:41:01,875
Be sure to leave enough time for
my dressmaker to make me something nice.

566
00:41:02,001 --> 00:41:04,044
Yes, Mother.

567
00:41:05,672 --> 00:41:07,506
I'm getting married.

568
00:41:07,632 --> 00:41:09,508
Antony and I are getting married.

569
00:41:09,634 --> 00:41:11,009
Where's Octavia?

570
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:38,078
This wedding of Antony's tomorrow...

571
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,497
I've just heard the dog Herod will be there.

572
00:41:40,623 --> 00:41:45,294
Him and a thousand other aristos.
There'll be lictors all over, soldiers as well.

573
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:49,298
Watching the bride and groom,
nobody will be paying any mind to Herod.

574
00:41:49,424 --> 00:41:51,967
There'll be a big crowd, lots of noise.

575
00:41:52,093 --> 00:41:55,053
Chaos. It's the perfect time.

576
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:57,764
I don't know.

577
00:41:58,892 --> 00:42:01,727
You're not losing your nerve, are you?

578
00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:04,688
- No.
- We made an oath on the Torah.

579
00:42:04,814 --> 00:42:07,149
And I'll not break it. I'm just saying,

580
00:42:07,275 --> 00:42:09,735
we've got to be sure,
we only get the one chance.

581
00:42:09,861 --> 00:42:11,862
This is it!

582
00:42:14,741 --> 00:42:16,116
Who knows?

583
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:19,870
If we're lucky and the crowd's thick,
we might even make it out alive.

584
00:42:19,996 --> 00:42:22,873
No. There's no chance of that.

585
00:42:22,999 --> 00:42:25,792
We'll be hacked to pieces quick as Pan.

586
00:42:26,794 --> 00:42:29,463
His will be done.

587
00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:31,423
Tomorrow, then.

588
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:38,430
Come, children.

589
00:42:44,312 --> 00:42:46,313
Yesh.

590
00:43:12,507 --> 00:43:15,259
- What are you doing?
- You scared me.

591
00:43:15,385 --> 00:43:18,011
I was looking for you, but you weren't here.

592
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,390
Here I am.

593
00:43:24,352 --> 00:43:27,104
Are you all right? You look feverish.

594
00:43:27,230 --> 00:43:29,147
No, no, I'm good.

595
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:32,150
Now, what do you need?

596
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:34,361
Nothing.

597
00:43:35,530 --> 00:43:37,781
Sister needs a new dress.

598
00:43:40,118 --> 00:43:44,621
She grows like mustard.

599
00:43:44,747 --> 00:43:46,123
Thank you, Father.

600
00:43:46,249 --> 00:43:48,333
Nothing for me?

601
00:44:19,282 --> 00:44:21,241
I love you.

602
00:44:25,246 --> 00:44:27,956
We need to talk.

603
00:44:28,082 --> 00:44:30,000
Yes, we do.

604
00:44:30,126 --> 00:44:32,919
I was thinking we should take a little break.

605
00:44:34,547 --> 00:44:36,381
- A break?
- From sex.

606
00:44:36,507 --> 00:44:38,633
Just until our wedding night.

607
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,972
I want our wedding night
to be something special.

608
00:44:44,098 --> 00:44:47,142
Don't you agree?

609
00:44:47,268 --> 00:44:50,228
And we have so many practical
things we need to discuss...

610
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:53,648
Where we're going to live.
I'm happy moving into your villa,

611
00:44:53,775 --> 00:44:57,486
but it will need to be
redecorated from top to bottom.

612
00:44:57,612 --> 00:44:59,321
And I insist you sell your slaves,

613
00:44:59,447 --> 00:45:01,990
male or female,
whom you've previously fucked.

614
00:45:02,116 --> 00:45:03,784
- Atia, I...
- I insist.

615
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:07,037
And another thing,
you still haven't bought me my wedding gift.

616
00:45:07,163 --> 00:45:09,873
I need to talk.

617
00:45:11,042 --> 00:45:13,377
Well, I'm not stopping you.

618
00:45:16,923 --> 00:45:20,592
When and where you are Gaia,

619
00:45:20,718 --> 00:45:24,346
I, then and there, am Gaius.

620
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:30,185
When and where you are Gaius,

621
00:45:30,311 --> 00:45:33,480
I, then and there, am Gaia.

622
00:47:06,032 --> 00:47:08,700
Why so gloomy?

623
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:13,288
No reason. A bit of a headache.

624
00:47:13,414 --> 00:47:17,918
Poor Atia.
I feel for her.

625
00:47:18,044 --> 00:47:23,298
I always thought her attachment to Antony
was purely practical, but look at her.

626
00:47:27,386 --> 00:47:30,847
I think the old girl's genuinely in love with him.

627
00:47:33,768 --> 00:47:35,644
Why did Octavian do this?

628
00:47:35,770 --> 00:47:38,146
Simple.

629
00:47:38,272 --> 00:47:41,149
Octavia is more likely to provide children.

630
00:47:41,275 --> 00:47:46,321
And what is marriage, if not a machine
for the production of babies?

631
00:47:46,447 --> 00:47:48,532
It's wrong.

632
00:47:48,658 --> 00:47:50,784
It's just wrong.

633
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:54,704
Careful, friend. Anyone who didn't know better

634
00:47:54,830 --> 00:47:57,499
might think you were in love with Octavia.

635
00:48:07,093 --> 00:48:09,177
Blessings upon you.

636
00:48:24,819 --> 00:48:26,820
I'd rather eat shit.

637
00:48:43,337 --> 00:48:46,881
Please try to see beyond your own desires.

638
00:48:47,008 --> 00:48:49,217
I couldn't very well let you marry Antony.

639
00:48:49,343 --> 00:48:51,636
Everybody knows you were lovers.

640
00:48:51,762 --> 00:48:58,393
The public would assume it was a marriage
of mere sentiment, of lust.

641
00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:02,355
Whereas this match is clearly
a political statement of unity.

642
00:49:20,416 --> 00:49:22,667
- Atia.
- Go away.

643
00:49:22,793 --> 00:49:26,212
You cannot stay in here.
Our guests will wonder where you are.

644
00:49:26,339 --> 00:49:30,091
Well, our guests can go and fuck themselves.

645
00:49:37,183 --> 00:49:39,100
There was no choice.

646
00:49:39,226 --> 00:49:41,269
Your son would have it no other way.

647
00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:42,729
And he is your master?

648
00:49:42,855 --> 00:49:45,940
He is my political partner. Policy dictates that...

649
00:49:46,067 --> 00:49:48,526
Policy be damned. Speak plain.

650
00:49:48,653 --> 00:49:50,528
You love power more than you love me.

651
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:54,407
They are two completely different things.

652
00:49:55,242 --> 00:49:57,827
This marriage has nothing to do with us.

653
00:49:59,413 --> 00:50:01,289
It changes nothing.

654
00:50:01,415 --> 00:50:05,126
Love, and you and I...

655
00:50:05,252 --> 00:50:06,670
It changes nothing.

656
00:50:06,796 --> 00:50:12,008
I see. First you betray me
and now you propose to betray my daughter.

657
00:50:14,470 --> 00:50:16,971
Forgive me.

658
00:51:30,212 --> 00:51:32,005
Are you ready?

659
00:51:44,435 --> 00:51:45,560
Let's go.

660
00:51:45,686 --> 00:51:47,562
- Wait.
- They're coming!

661
00:51:48,731 --> 00:51:50,356
I'm sorry, I can't do it.

662
00:51:50,483 --> 00:51:52,233
What?

663
00:51:52,359 --> 00:51:57,322
No more killing. Herod is just a man.
His death is useless. It's just more blood.

664
00:51:57,448 --> 00:51:59,532
If we kill him, another will take his place.

665
00:51:59,658 --> 00:52:02,660
- We'll kill him too.
- Not by my hand.

666
00:52:05,664 --> 00:52:07,832
Listen, you made an oath.

667
00:52:07,958 --> 00:52:10,084
I break it, then.

668
00:52:10,211 --> 00:52:12,170
Brother...

669
00:52:13,798 --> 00:52:16,007
I have a wife. I have children.

670
00:52:16,133 --> 00:52:18,718
You're a coward, a snivelling coward.

671
00:52:18,844 --> 00:52:20,762
You always were.

672
00:52:20,888 --> 00:52:22,764
I'll do it alone, then.

673
00:52:22,890 --> 00:52:24,808
No. No!

674
00:52:38,989 --> 00:52:41,366
Brother!

675
00:52:42,368 --> 00:52:44,285
You...

676
00:52:44,411 --> 00:52:46,955
are not

677
00:52:47,081 --> 00:52:49,582
my brother.

678
00:53:08,602 --> 00:53:11,271
This is strange, isn't it?

679
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,361
Look, I...

680
00:53:18,487 --> 00:53:22,991
I know you're not exactly
happy about all this, but...

681
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:26,911
it is our wedding night.

682
00:53:29,290 --> 00:53:31,583
Do as you like.

683
00:53:37,381 --> 00:53:39,966
Well, if you wouldn't mind just...

684
00:54:09,705 --> 00:54:12,665
Send her bitterness and despair

685
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:15,835
for all of her life.

686
00:54:15,961 --> 00:54:17,879
Let her taste nothing

687
00:54:18,005 --> 00:54:22,258
but ashes and iron.

688
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:33,353
I need silphium and hellebore.

689
00:54:34,813 --> 00:54:36,981
You caught it early.

690
00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:40,860
Yeah.

691
00:54:43,656 --> 00:54:45,740
Drink this...

692
00:54:48,661 --> 00:54:50,411
before bed...

693
00:54:53,916 --> 00:54:56,084
and when you wake

694
00:54:56,210 --> 00:54:57,919
in the morning,

695
00:54:58,045 --> 00:54:59,462
problem is over.

696
00:54:59,588 --> 00:55:01,422
How's it taste?

697
00:55:04,009 --> 00:55:05,259
I hate strong flavors.

698
00:55:05,386 --> 00:55:09,514
If you put it in willow tea,
you won't taste it at all.

699
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,267
I'll give you some horsetail
in case there's much bleeding.

700
00:55:13,394 --> 00:55:15,436
No, that's all right.

701
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:16,938
I don't need that.
