It's from Herod. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
What does he say? | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
It's written from Jerusalem. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Read it to me. His letters are so amusing. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
"Mr dear old friend, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
"what is all this I hear about you living in three rooms in the o-o-old quarter of town? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:09 | |
"Is it serious? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
"Why did you not write to me? | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
"Is it that absurd pride of yours? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
"Well, I shall attend to that shortly. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
"Meanwhile, knowing how loathe you are to accept money | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
"and being the only practical friend you ever had, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
"I enclose a little... p-p-present for you. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
Please, make proper use of it. Herod. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
What is it? Seems very small. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Well, I don't know. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
I don't think that's very generous! | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Venus! Oh, Claudius, I think your luck is changing. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
I'm sure it's an omen! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Those dice are crooked. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
You can't possibly use them. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Oh, dear, Herod! | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-How I miss him. -Master. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-Have you seen this? -What? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-It was pinned on the door of the temple. -What is it? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
It's advertising a brothel in the palace. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
They're all over the city. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
A brothel, in the palace? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
But who is to serve in it? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
His sisters, his cousins. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
S-S-Senators and their wives. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
You knew about it? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
Why didn't you tell me? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
He wants you there. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
He wants me to take t-t-the money on the door. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Oh, Claudius. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Little monster. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
Forcing the nobility into prostitution. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
And in the palace. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Why, even Calpurnia wouldn't serve in such a place, and that's her profession. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
That is not her profession any more! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
My dear, that was, and is, my profession. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
I'm a prostitute, and I've never been ashamed of it. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
All the same, I won't serve in his brothel! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
There's some price a man won't pay. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |

Claudius, I was told to bring her here, but she's terrified. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-Nothing you can do. -Please, listen! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
She's given birth six weeks ago. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
-If someone touches her, I'm afraid what she'll do. -No exceptions. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
There must be a room or somewhere to put her. No one will notice. Please! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Do you want mine to get along with yours? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
You've paid your fee, go on in! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
Enjoy yourself. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-It's not important. -No. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Do you want the child left without a mother?! | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
Come. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Ah, another customer. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
As we were just running out of men. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Real men. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Sabinus, isn't it? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
And I see you've brought your pretty wife. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
My dear, you'll make a fortune in there tonight. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:28 | |
You better, anyway. The emperor has just raised his commission. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-Shall we go? -Ah, reinforcements. -Marcus. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:37 | |
The emperor's brother-in-law, and your first customer. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
Make him pay through the nose, my dear. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-You're worth it. -No! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
Come! | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
-What are you doing? -Chucking you out! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-You've no right! -That's what I'm here for, that's what I'm doing! | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-But why?! -For creating a disturbance! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-But she was creating the disturbance! -Out! | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
See him off the premises. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
-Go home. -But if the emperor should return... | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
I'll tell him I threw you out for indecent behaviour. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
You are a good man, Claudius. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Claudius? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
We must help him, the emperor. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:00 | |
-He's your husband, you help him. -Claudius! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
He's sick. He needs good people round him. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
He's killed them all. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
-What are you doing here in your condition? -He told me to come. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
He likes me to be with him. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Has he shown you naked to his guards lately? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Oh, I'm sorry. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
It's not for me to c-c-criticise, I bleat to the rest of them whenever he appears. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:29 | |
There are no lions among us any more. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |

Vulcan with awkward grace, his office plies, while unextinguished laughter shakes the skies. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:07 | |
Homer for Vulcan read old uncle Claudius. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
Oh... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Then from his anvil, the lame craftsman rose. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:20 | |
Wide, with distorted legs. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
Oblique, he goes. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Oh, bravo! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Henceforth, uncle, you shall be Vulcan. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
While I... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Well... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
What am I? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
But Ulysses... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
returning home to witness the shame and degradation of his household. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:52 | |
Cassius? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
Did you ever see a sight as sad and degrading as this? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
-Shall I arrest them, Caesar? -No, let them indulge themselves a while longer. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
Soon, I promise you I shall flush this sewage into the Tiber forever. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
Meanwhile, Jove must cleanse himself in battle. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
I have sworn to fight a war against the Germans that will end | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
in their total annihilation, and I shall bring back much booty to Rome, fill her coffers, enrich her purse. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:26 | |
Cassius, order the detachments, and raise the levies. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
I go to forge in the white hot fires of war | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
a new and tempered spirit of Rome that will last 1,000 years! | 0:09:39 | 0:09:45 | |
Good girl. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |

Claudius. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:56 | |
I've got a little gift for baby. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Claudius. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
-That's lovely. Show it to her. -How is she? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
Come and see. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Ah, she's very pretty. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Yeah. She looks just like you. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Come and sit down. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
So, how's Calpurnia? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
She's well. She sends her felicitations. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
I'm going to see the emperor in Germany soon, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
so I shall be able to report that you're both looking well. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Why are you going to Germany? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-Haven't you heard? -You know they tell me nothing. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Oh, I'm not sure I should tell you. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Well, I suppose you'll hear about it soon enough. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Well, he has informed the senate by letter that he's uncovered | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
a vast conspiracy against himself in the army of the Rhine. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
Six corp commanders and the army commander himself, have been executed. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:59 | |
More executions are still taking place. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Do you think there was a conspiracy? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Who knows? Would it surprise you? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
The army commander, no. He was my father's old friend, | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
my brother's corp commander, a soldier of iron loyalty. No, that's not possible. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:22 | |
-Why are you going then? -The senate is sending me and two ex-consuls to congratulate him | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
on the mutiny. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
As I said, | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
the only lions left in Rome are in the arena. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
I'm also to strip Livia's apartments of all their valuables and send them to him by road. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:43 | |
He stresses by road. Apparently, he has a quarrel with Neptune, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
and fears the boat will sink. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
-What does he want them for? -To auction to the provincial. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
He's auctioning everything now. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
He's discovered he has a gift for it. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Claudius, what am I doing here? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
Why did he chose me for a wife? I'm ten years older than he is, not | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
pretty, I was born the daughter of a night watchman, I married a baker. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
-What does he see in me? -Perhaps that you, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
alone among everyone, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
truly love him. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Yes, I do love him. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
I can't explain why. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
I know he does terrible things. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
I'll tell you something. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
He is more afraid than any of us. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
Cassius. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
Just been talking to that river god. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
He threatened to drown me. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Does he know who you are? | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
He does now, I've just given him a severe reprimand, so shut up. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, the river's going down, isn't it? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Yes, Caesar. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Your uncle is here with Marcus and Asprenas. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
Let them in. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
Hail, Caesar. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Lord of the heavens, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
the senate and the people... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
Where are my carts? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-Carts? -The carts with the valuables in them. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
Oh, heaven, bless you majesty, they're coming by road. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
They'll be a few days yet. We wanted to get here sooner, so we came across the water. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
Well then, back by water you go. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
Throw them in the river! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
Merciful God! | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
How dare you arrive without my carts! | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
But you already said the carts should come by road! | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
Throw him off on the bridge! | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
Prostrate yourselves in the presence of Jove! | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
How dare the senate send that idiot to congratulate me. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
Have their throats cut. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Not worthy of such a mission, the man's an imbecile! | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Save Rome from a conspiracy, and they send that clapped out crippled old clown to felicitate me?! | 0:14:17 | 0:14:23 | |
Is that the respect that they give their emperor?! | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
What's going on there? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
More plots. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
More conspiracies. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
I'll set my German guards on them when I get back. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
I'll burn the damn place down! It never was any use! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
I should have done that a long time ago, | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
I should have had his throat cut when I was first made emperor. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
He makes a mess of everything. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
Couldn't even order my brother's statues on time! | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
Merciful God, we only came by sea to bring our congratulations. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
I wanted carts not congratulations! | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
Up! Up! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Up! Up! Up! | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Did I not tell you that I had had a quarrel with Neptune? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
That he plagues me all the time with his sea noises, | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
stirs the river gods up against me, makes war on me everywhere? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
How dare you ride with him! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
One hopes... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
Yes... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
Perhaps you plotted with him. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
No. Merciful God... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
You and my uncle, you plotted with him on your way here. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
-No, highest one. We assure you. -What did you talk about then? | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
You and Neptune? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
What did you say to one another? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
Nothing, we swear! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Mere mortals can't talk to a god. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Perhaps he appeared to you in mortal guise, as I do. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
What did he look like? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
We never saw him. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Please believe me. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
He wouldn't plot with us. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
Perhaps you're right. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
But I shall kill you just the same. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Down! Cassius, give me your sword. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
Oh, please! | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
In the name of my wife, your sister... | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
How dare you mention that whore to me! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
I'll show the Senate what I think of their envoys. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
I'll send you back to Rome in pieces. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
I wish hadn't thrown my uncle into the river. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
I could have done the same with him. But never mind, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-they'll get the message. -No! | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
Ha ha! And where have you been, my dear, dear Vulcan? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
"Oh, I f-f-felt the thunderous might. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
"Hurl'd, headlong down from the ethereal height, breathless I fell | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
"in giddy motions lost, the Sinthians raised me on the Lemnian coast." | 0:17:26 | 0:17:32 | |
Let me read some more... | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
Oh, by Jove! | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Well, it is almost the same by myself. This fellow knows his Homer. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
Please, Claudius, beseech the Emperor to save our lives. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Be silent and obey! | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
"Dear as you are, if Jove his arm extend, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
"I can but grieve, unable to defend." | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
Look, if the next two lines are apt, then they're saved. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
If not, I'll have their throats cut. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
If oh what... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
"What, oh so daring in your aid to move, or lift his arm against the might of Jove!" | 0:18:27 | 0:18:35 | |
For Jove... Y-Y... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Me? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Ha ha ha!! | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Oh, he has an eye for everything. Come on, get up, you're saved. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Saved by Claudius and his ready tongue. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Come on into the other room, I will give you a blanket. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
Oh, Cassius? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
What is the watchword for tonight, Caesar? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
Oh, the watchword for tonight, let me see. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
What about, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
"give us a kiss"? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
Could have been just now. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Could happen tomorrow or the next day, to you or to me. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:37 | |
But do not doubt, it will happen one day. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Did that surprise you, the watchword that I gave to Cassius? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Oh, I thought it was a j-j-joke. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
It was! | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
But it was my joke, not his. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
I do it to annoy. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Every time he addresses a commander of the guard, he has to say, "give us a kiss". | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Yesterday I gave him, "Touch me, Titus". | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Why, if I may ask, | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
do you do that? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
-Because he is a cry-baby. -Cassius? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
I thought he was the bravest soldier in the army. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
Oh, so did I, but he's not. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I had him torture Gitunicus to get some information. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
We got no information out of him, and he died under torture. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
One of the guards told me that Cassius wept. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Well, I was going to give him Macro's command, but I certainly didn't after that. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
How many hours a night do you sleep? | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Sleep? Er... Eight or n-n-nine, I suppose. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:59 | |
-Well, I sleep barely three. -Do gods need more? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:05 | |
Do you think I'm mad? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
-M-m-mad? -Yes, sometimes I think I'm going mad. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
Be honest with me, has that thought ever crossed your mind? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Never...never. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
The idea is p-p-preposterous. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
You set the standard of s-s-sanity for the whole world. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:34 | |
In that case, why is all this galloping in my head, and why do I sleep so little? | 0:21:35 | 0:21:42 | |
Well, it is all mortal disguise, | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
you see. The physical body is a great strain, if you're not used to it. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:53 | |
Which a god isn't. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
That explains, too, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
I think, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
the three hours' sleep. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
You see, undisguised gods never sleep at all. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
Yes, you're probably right. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
But then, if I am a god, which of course I am, then | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
why didn't I think of that? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Anyway, whatever the reason, it's very hard to be a god. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
Oh, you do know that I'm that all powerful god whose coming the Jews have prophesied | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
-for centuries? -Oh, yes, yes you told me. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
I feel very privileged to have received that information. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
Especially as the Jews, apparently, don't know it. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Yes, but it's prophesied that he'll die young and be hated by his own people. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
No, I can't believe that. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
No, not hated. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
It's incredible, isn't it? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
It must be true. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
Uncle, I want you to come with us on this expedition. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
When we've auctioned the stuff in the carts, when they arrive, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
we shall cross the Rhine, defeat the Germans, and then we shall march | 0:23:08 | 0:23:14 | |
towards the sea and I shall do battle with my old enemy, Neptune. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
Oh, what triumphs I shall have when we return to Rome. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
Now, you may leave me, I have a headache. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
BUGLES BLARE | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Your Emperor is amongst you once again. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
All his wars successfully concluded, and the victorious armies brought back to Rome. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:53 | |
He had thought, in his divine innocence, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
that the roads might be lined with cheering crowds. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
He had thought that the streets might be strewn with flowers. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
He had thought that there might be messages to greet him, telling him of triumphs to be awarded. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
And what did he find? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
This conqueror of the Germans, this victor over the mighty Neptune? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
The streets empty of crowds and flowers. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
No triumphs awarded, no games, no celebrations, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:34 | |
but three miserable old ex-consuls waiting at the gates to greet him, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
and a roomful of cowardly stay-at-home senators | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
who spend all their time in the theatre and at the baths, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
while he has spent six months living no better than a private soldier! | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
Hence... | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
your Emperor has returned, | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
but with this in his hand! | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
But, Jove, you ordered no triumphs. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Well of course I ordered no triumphs! Do you think I'd order triumphs for myself? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:14 | |
But you ordered us not to order any. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Yes, and you took me at my word, didn't you! | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
Typical! | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
It didn't occur to you that I might be leaving it up to you for your love to show itself freely? | 0:25:23 | 0:25:30 | |
It didn't occur to you that it might be my natural humility speaking? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
I ordered you not to celebrate. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
But you ordered celebrations for the anniversary of Actium, didn't you? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:51 | |
Didn't forget to celebrate the defeat of my great-grandfather Marc Antony? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:57 | |
How many bottles of wine did you open, toasting his murder while I was doing battle with the sea? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
Show them our booty! | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Show them the plunder we gathered from old Neptune. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
Seashells? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Yes, spoils of the sea. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
Loot from old Neptune. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
He won't take me on again in a hurry! | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Jove, while you were away we built a new temple to you on Palatine Hill. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:49 | |
That won't save you! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
Down on your knees, all of you! | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
Bend your heads. I shall sever each one at the neck. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
Merciful God! Would you spoil the great day of your return by the spilling of blood? | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
When they come to write the history of this memorable day, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
should they have to mix it with the memory of the death of these fools? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Claudius is right, my lord. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
My husband. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Think of your little daughter. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
One day when she is older, she will read the account of your return. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Must these fools intrude on such a glorious page of history? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:24 | |
Your soft words | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
have appeased my wrath. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
As we know, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
prayer can soften the hearts of gods. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
You may go. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
I shall inspect the temple in the morning. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
How right you were, Jove, to think of punishing them for celebrating the Battle of Actium. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:03 | |
Well, you see, Marcus, I had them both ways. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
If they hadn't, they would have insulted the god Augustus, my grandfather, who won the battle. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
Agrippa was also there, and was your other grandfather... | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
Marcus Vinicius, | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
you are no longer my friend. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
What have I said? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
You reminded him that Agrippa was his grandfather. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
-But Agrippa was a great man! -Yes, but of very low birth. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
Such men do not produce gods, Marcus. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
Certainly not one that's capable of | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
d-d-defeating N-Neptune. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
If you're no longer his friend, | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
what can you be but his enemy? | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
Go your own way, Cassius! | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
If we all go our own way, | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
we shall all end by going the same way. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:29:02 | 0:29:10 | |
Yes, I'm coming. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
Yes, yes. I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming! | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
Claudius, don't go. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
They could be assassins. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:17 | |
Who are you? What do you want? | 0:29:24 | 0:29:28 | |
You're wanted at the palace. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:29 | |
-Is that you, Cassius? -Yes. Hurry up. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
What's the matter? | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
My orders are to fetch you at once. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
Marcus Vinicius and Asprenas too. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
Never mind about dressing, just throw on a cloak. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
How long have we been sitting here, do you think? | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
About two hours. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
Must be nearly light. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
-What you think he's going to do with us? -I don't know. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:21 | |
I just hope it's quick, that's all. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Claudius, I'm sorry I've made fun of you in the past. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
It doesn't m-m-matter now. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Will you give me your hand? | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
Thank you, that's a great comfort. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
CYMBAL CRASHES | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
MUSIC BEGINS | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
# Whene'er the god of Night sleeps on | 0:31:02 | 0:31:08 | |
# The rosy-fingered goddess Dawn | 0:31:08 | 0:31:14 | |
# Tiptoes on his domain | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
# And hence she flits across the sky from star to star | 0:31:22 | 0:31:26 | |
# She lightens darkness where she flies | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
# And blows night's candles out | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
# Raging on her heels, Night treads | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
# And tries to hold her fast | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
# And bring her loveliness to bed | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
# And ravish her at last | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
# And every night | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
# He once but tries to win a single kiss | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
# To win a single kiss | 0:31:53 | 0:31:57 | |
# Before the morning sun | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
# Night will rob him of his prince | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |

# And Night he treads | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
# On hills everywhere | 0:32:19 | 0:32:24 | |
# She must awaken from their bed | 0:32:24 | 0:32:30 | |
# The secret lovers there | 0:32:30 | 0:32:37 | |
# But loathe to hurt They linger there | 0:32:37 | 0:32:43 | |
# She hurtles them away | 0:32:43 | 0:32:47 | |
# But oh, the Goddesses | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
# Must hear We worship you each day | 0:32:51 | 0:32:58 | |
# We worship you each day. # | 0:32:58 | 0:33:04 | |
Oh, god of gods! | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
Never have I witnessed a dance | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
that gave me such p-p-profound spiritual joy! | 0:33:16 | 0:33:21 | |
-Did you like it? -It was indescribable! | 0:33:21 | 0:33:27 | |
Well, it was only a rehearsal. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:31 | |
Oh, whatever will the finished performance be like?! | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |
Get up. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
Come here. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
What did you think of the girl? | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
Oh, beautiful. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
You old lecher! | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
Bring the girl back! | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
I'm going to marry her to you tomorrow! | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
T-t-to me? | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
It would be very funny. All that loveliness married to a silly, crippled old fool like you! | 0:34:03 | 0:34:09 | |
What on earth would you do with it?! | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
Oh, Messalina! Come here. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
I'm going to marry you... | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
to Uncle Claudius! | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
And you can both come and live in the palace! | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
Thank you, Caesar. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
Now, I must away to shed more light. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
Oh yeah, the watchword tonight. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
-Bottom's up! -HE LAUGHS | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
I'll give you another watchword! | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Liberty! | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
I-I-I-I-I'm sorry. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
Don't you want to marry me? | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
Well, I... | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
It's just that I'm so much older than you. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:42 | |
I'd be very happy to be married to you. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
To tell you the truth, I was terrified when he brought me here. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:54 | |
I thought he was going to... | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
I'd feel safe being married to you. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
Do you think you could ever love me? | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
I think... | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
I'm in... | 0:36:12 | 0:36:17 | |
l-l-love with you already. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
Well, if I'm to be married tomorrow, I must go home and get ready. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
Goodbye, Claudius. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
G-G-G-G-G-G... | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
Goodbye! | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, his family and friends. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:25 | |
Welcome, Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, to you, your family and your friends. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:51 | |
I thank you, Messalina, for my family and my friends. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:57 | |
And I thank you for myself. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:06 | |
The noble senator, Incitatus. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
You know everybody, don't you? | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Find yourself a place. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
He's never been to a wedding before. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
His life has really opened up since I made him a senator. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
Let the auspices be taken. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
Kill him! | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
We've talked enough. I say kill him. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
It's risky. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
You can't kill a man without taking a risk. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
Those German guards never leave him. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
There's always a way. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
But are you with us? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
Or will you wait until he offers you poisoned fruit or has your throat cut? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
It's all right for you - you're a soldier. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
Yeah. You can leave the killing to me, | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
but will you help? | 0:39:12 | 0:39:14 | |
He's right, Marcus. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
The longer we leave it the more certain it is we shan't survive. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
All right, but when and where? | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
Tomorrow is the final day of the Games. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:33 | |
Let's do it then. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:35 | |
Where? | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
There's a covered way at the rear of the Imperial Box. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
It's an exit you must persuade him to use. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
-How? -Find a reason. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
Tell him there are crowds out front and that they'll delay his meal. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
He'll have his German guards with him. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
Yeah, now here's the tricky part. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
Sabinus and I will be waiting outside. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
You'll be in the box with Caligula and a few friends. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
Normally, he would lead the way out, followed by his friends and the guards. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:12 | |
The staircase down to the covered way is narrow. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:20 | |
You must be sure to be behind Caligula. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
As he steps out into the covered way, you must stumble or drop something, | 0:40:23 | 0:40:28 | |
anything to give us time to slam the gates from the outside | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
and separate Caligula from the guards. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
That's all you have to do. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
And then what? | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
We call on the Senate to declare a republic and put an end to this madness. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:50 | |
Who dies with Caligula? | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
The whole Imperial family. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
Caesonia, the child, the two sisters, | 0:40:54 | 0:40:59 | |
and dear old Uncle Claudius and his new wife. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
No, I don't want that. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
We must! Whatever they think of Caligula, they won't rest until they've removed his assassins. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |
None of us would be safe afterwards. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
It's Caligula alone, or not at all. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:23 | |
All right, just Caligula. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
Liberty. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
And the Republic! | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
I don't like it. It's dangerous to leave the others alive. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
We shan't. I'll see to that, don't worry. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
If they're in for Caligula, they're in for the lot. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
CROWD CHEERS | 0:42:06 | 0:42:10 | |
Oh, damn! | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
I've lost all my money! Not playing any more. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
Here my Lord, let me lend you some. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
Lend? You know how I hate running up debts. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
Oh. Well, HAVE half of my set. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:26 | |
Why am I so unlucky today? | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
Unless of course it's your dice we're playing with? | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
My dice? Why should my dice be any different from any other? | 0:42:37 | 0:42:41 | |
Well, a dice is a very personal thing - | 0:42:41 | 0:42:43 | |
one man's dice might be lucky for himself and not for his friend. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
Here, my Lord, try these. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:49 | |
They were sent to me by Herod. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
He claims they once belonged to Alexander the G-G-Great. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:55 | |
Really? I had no idea that Alexander played dice. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
He had so many things in common with you, Lord. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
-CROWD CHEER -What is it? | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
He's got the Thracian down. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
The crowd want him spared, they've turned their thumbs up. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
CROWD BOOS | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
He only had one neck. I'd hack it through. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:36 | |
That Thracian has lost me a lot of money over the last year. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:43 | |
Alexander you say? Well, let's see. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
By jove! | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
That looks promising. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
Come on, pay up everybody! | 0:43:56 | 0:43:58 | |
I think I'm indebted to you uncle, you've changed my luck. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:02 | |
Some dice are fit only for gods to throw. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
What about something to eat? | 0:44:05 | 0:44:06 | |
Is Caesar hungry? | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
No! | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
Oh! | 0:44:11 | 0:44:13 | |
I see what you mean! These dice were made for me. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
Come on, pay up again. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
You did me a lot of harm with those dice, Marcus. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
And I'm raising the stakes to 3,000. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
I've run out of money, Lord. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
It doesn't matter - your new wife's got plenty. I'll take an IOU. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:30 | |
I've posted guards at both ends and told them to prevent anyone coming through here. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:40 | |
He'll be out soon. | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
I've dismissed the palace guards. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
They're all at the Games. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:49 | |
Will you strike the first blow? | 0:44:52 | 0:44:54 | |
Jove himself couldn't stop me. | 0:44:56 | 0:44:59 | |
Well I can see you don't want to play anymore. You only like playing when you're winning. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:04 | |
Shall we watch the Games for a while? | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
-What about a swim and then something to eat? -I don't think so. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
I don't feel very hungry today, but I've had a wonderful morning, | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
-thanks to you. Is there any small favour I could grant you? -Oh Lord, | 0:45:12 | 0:45:16 | |
please regard it as a small return for the great happiness you've given me with my new wife. | 0:45:16 | 0:45:23 | |
Happiness?! It wasn't supposed to make you happy, nor you her. | 0:45:23 | 0:45:27 | |
-It was meant to be a joke. -Oh no, you misunderstand me. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:32 | |
I'm so clumsy at expressing myself. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
What I meant was that my happiness comes from contemplating yours. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:40 | |
To be the cause of so much merriment | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
is the source of deepest satisfaction to me. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
Where are you going, Marcus? | 0:45:48 | 0:45:50 | |
To tell the truth, Lord, nature calls. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
-It must have something I ate last night. -Don't look at me. | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
If i'd decided to doctor your food you wouldn't have to wait until morning to find out. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
That's odd - he wanted to eat a moment ago. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
-His behaviour is very strange lately. -Strange? | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
Nervous. What's he got to be nervous about? | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
We're all nervous in your presence, Lord. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
I've never been able to understand. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
Excuse me... thank you. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
He doesn't want to eat. We'll have to put it off, it won't work. | 0:46:38 | 0:46:41 | |
-Then I'll go in and kill him where he sits... -Ceasar will cut you down. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
What's that to me? | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
But I'll call on you for help before they do. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
No, wait! | 0:46:49 | 0:46:51 | |
I'll tell him his Greek ballet have arrived. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
He'll come out for that. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:56 | |
Anything, but get him out here! | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
Lord, Cassius informs me your Greek ballet is here. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:25 | |
Greek ballet? Where are they? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:27 | |
Waiting outside to greet you. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:29 | |
Bring them in and present them. Just the boys, the girls can wait. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
Lord, they say they have prepared a dance in your honour which they wish to perform for you outside. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:39 | |
Oh, in that case, we must not disappoint them. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:42 | |
Shall we go and see what they've prepared? | 0:47:42 | 0:47:45 | |
Lord, they're waiting at the rear. The front is too full of people. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
Well, if they're as good as people say they are, | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
I might let them dance for me. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
INDISTINCT SPEECH | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
The watchword, butcher, is liberty! | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
HE SCREAMS IN PAIN | 0:48:19 | 0:48:21 | |
No, you can't, I'm a god! You can't kill... | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
Drusilla! | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
I'm dying, Drusilla! | 0:48:34 | 0:48:41 | |
Finish him! | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
This from our wives, Jove. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
You fools! You let them get him! | 0:49:01 | 0:49:04 | |
Your Empire! After them! | 0:49:04 | 0:49:08 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
Oh, Cassius! Cassius, what's happened? Where's everybody gone? | 0:49:22 | 0:49:26 | |
-BABY CRIES -Lord, the baby! | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
SHE GRUNTS IN PAIN | 0:49:38 | 0:49:42 | |
SHOUTING | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
There's some stuff in here. Hurry up, lads. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
Take what you can and let's get out before the Germans come. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:15 | |
Just get anything you can take. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
-Hey, sergeant? -Yeah. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:38 | |
Here's one of them. | 0:50:38 | 0:50:41 | |
It's one of the assassins. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
Don't kill me, sir. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
I had nothing to do with it. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
You bastard. Kill our beloved Emperor, would you? | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
Put us all out of work... | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |
Wait a minute! That's not an assassin. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
It's the Emperor's uncle, Germanicus' brother. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:57 | |
He's harmless. Leave him alone, can't you see he's crippled? Get up. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:01 | |
You see, the lads are a bit angry, sir. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
Without an emperor there's no Pretorian Guard | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
and it's back to the army for the lot of us. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
-I must go and find my wife. -'Course you must, sir. Claudus! | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
Take a couple of the lads and go with this gentleman. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
-Why can't we have him for an emperor? -What? | 0:51:18 | 0:51:22 | |
Old Claudius? Don't be stupid, lad. He's a simpleton, he's... | 0:51:22 | 0:51:26 | |
I don't know, he's better than nothing. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:31 | |
-SHOUTING AND JEERING -I don't want to be Emperor! | 0:51:31 | 0:51:35 | |
I'd like to... | 0:51:35 | 0:51:38 | |
You, a member of the Imperial Family, sir? | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
Don't make me laugh. | 0:51:41 | 0:51:43 | |
Eh, lads, we've found an emperor. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
Wait a minute! | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
Just a minute, Herman. | 0:51:58 | 0:51:59 | |
That's our new emperor. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:02 | |
Kaiser! | 0:52:03 | 0:52:04 | |
EMPEROR! | 0:52:06 | 0:52:09 | |
-Ja? -Ja... | 0:52:09 | 0:52:12 | |
Lift him up, lads. Long live the Emperor Claudius! | 0:52:12 | 0:52:17 | |
Put me down. | 0:52:17 | 0:52:18 | |
Put me down! | 0:52:18 | 0:52:20 | |
Don't worry, sir, you'll get used it. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:22 | |
It's not such a bad life. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:24 | |
Put this on him. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
Put me down! I don't want to be an emperor. I'm from the republic... | 0:52:27 | 0:52:33 | |
Don't keep saying that sir, not in front of the Germans! | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
they'll slit your throat. Now come on, smile. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:38 | |
Smile, that's it, look at me. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:42 | |
Long live the Emperor! | 0:52:42 | 0:52:44 | |
ALL: Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! | 0:52:44 | 0:52:49 | |
Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! | 0:52:49 | 0:52:53 | |
Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! | 0:52:53 | 0:52:58 | |
Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
