0:13:04 > 0:13:06We're princes of Troy.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13Priam's sons. And you're out of your depth.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16No hard feelings. Just be more careful next time.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Take me to the games.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26I'll bet my life I can beat any of you at any event.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'll give you one chance to take that back.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Paris!

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Get up.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56SHE GASPS

0:18:03 > 0:18:04A miracle has occurred.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09This boy is Alexander.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13Our son.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17The gods have saved his life!

0:18:18 > 0:18:20They've brought him back to us.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28CHEERING

0:19:10 > 0:19:12The blood ran black.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15You can't do this. I beg you...

0:19:15 > 0:19:19I prayed for his return every day for 20 years.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21- We both did. - My Lord, please listen...

0:19:21 > 0:19:22We did listen to you.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26- I won't suffer again like that, I won't.- I know.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29You're making a great mistake.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31The gods do not forget.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36KNOCKING

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Your Majesties.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Leave us, Lithos. We'll discuss this further in the morning.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Let me look at you.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02You must have a thousand questions.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05I'm a shepherd.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'm not good with words.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10You're not a shepherd any more.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's hard, I know. But you must understand

0:20:13 > 0:20:15that Paris is not your name.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19And although he has shown you great kindness...

0:20:20 > 0:20:23..Agelaus is not your father.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Your name is Alexander, Prince of Troy.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33You were taken by wolves from this window when you were three days old.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39Agelaus found you on the mountain track where the wolves left you.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42I found you wrapped in a parcel of cloth.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45I named you Paris.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's a miracle you survived.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I thought you were dead...

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Agelaus, thank you.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59The city owes you a great debt.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Now, please, say goodbye to my son.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15Father.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Goodbye...Alexander.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Come here.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50I've missed you so much.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11- To your new family. - CHEERING

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Come here.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51BABY CRIES IN DISTANCE

0:23:00 > 0:23:01SHE GASPS

0:23:04 > 0:23:05What have you given to calm her?

0:23:05 > 0:23:09She refuses to drink anything. She hasn't been like this in years.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13HYPERVENTILATING

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Cassandra? I'm here.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Mother...- It's all right, Cassandra.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22The new Prince... I see it in his eyes.

0:23:22 > 0:23:23Black blood!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Shh.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Don't let him back. Don't let him back.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's all right, my love.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36It's all right.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40There.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Give her what she needs. - Yes, my lady.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Shh.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Close the windows.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Please. Please!

0:24:04 > 0:24:08- My baby, please, no! - BABY'S CRIES ECHO

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Come on, Cassandra.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Come on.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07Our sister, Cassandra, why doesn't she come to meals?

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Cassandra is unwell.

0:26:10 > 0:26:11Can't I at least meet her?

0:26:11 > 0:26:13You focus on your own behaviour and leave her to us.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15My behaviour?

0:26:15 > 0:26:18I'm sorry if I'm a disappointment to you all.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19No. No, you're not.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22But the party's over.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26No more visits to the lower city. No more late nights.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28It's time for work.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I thought princes didn't work.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33HE CHUCKLES I thought that was the point.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Well, they don't herd cows, if that's what you mean.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Maybe you should just send me back. - No-one's sending you back.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42And no-one's asking you to change who you are.

0:26:44 > 0:26:45Pandarus.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- My lord?- What's this?

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Your first official engagement.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57I have a friend across the waters.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59- King Menelaus of Sparta.- Father...

0:26:59 > 0:27:02I want you to represent me.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Pandarus will go with you. Introduce yourself, pay tribute.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08The rediscovered son.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Strengthen the ties between our two lands.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- How exactly do I do that? - Well, you'll learn.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Prove yourself a prince, son.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Well then.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Better get dressed.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- He's not ready.- Let me go with him.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39No. He'll learn on his own.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00If this is work...

0:28:01 > 0:28:03..let me work.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Land ahead!

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Your quarters are in the south of the palace

0:28:47 > 0:28:49and afford the finest views of the region.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Tonight, the king will hold a banquet

0:28:57 > 0:28:59in honour of Prince Alexander.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04You should sleep now.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06You need to be on form tonight.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51My Lord.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03We bring you...oil of iris,

0:30:03 > 0:30:06frankincense, rose and musk,

0:30:06 > 0:30:11spices from the east, cumin and...

0:30:14 > 0:30:18From Africa, boxes of ebony. Ostrich eggs.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21All of Troy's traders pay tribute to King Menelaus.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23They bring the world to Sparta.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Let us feast to celebrate the new Prince of Troy.

0:30:38 > 0:30:39The Queen not joining us?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Helen's unwell tonight.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46I'm sorry to hear that.

0:30:46 > 0:30:47She will feast when she recovers.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52So, your story is a strange one.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56I should like to hear it from your mouth.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00It was a miracle of the gods.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04I was stolen from a palace... DOOR OPENS

0:31:24 > 0:31:26I'm sorry. I'm late.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31My darling, you are recovered.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35Curiosity defeated my tiredness.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Sit. Save your strength.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48I was just asking Prince Alexander here to recount his charming story.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Are those your birds, my Lady?- Yes.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57My father always let them fly free in the house.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58One of his little indulgences.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03I interrupted you, my Lord.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Er...- Please.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07HE CLEARS THROAT

0:32:08 > 0:32:11I was stolen from the palace window as a baby by wolves.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14This shepherd found me on the mountain,

0:32:14 > 0:32:16and took me into his house.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Unaware of your true nature.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Yes.

0:32:21 > 0:32:22He called me Paris.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25He taught me to ride, and run cattle.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27For 20 years, that was my life.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29- WHISPERS:- My Lady...

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Then, a few weeks ago, I saw the Princes training on the plain.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34- I challenged them.- And you won?

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Yes.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Until you fought your brother, Hector.- Yes.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42He would have killed me.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44But my father recognised me from a birth mark,

0:32:44 > 0:32:46and I was spared.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47Show me.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59To think something so small could change so much.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08How did you two get together?

0:33:12 > 0:33:14No. No, it's fine.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19It's a good story and he should know it.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22My brother won Helen for me in competition.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25He fought 100 lords for Sparta,

0:33:25 > 0:33:27and the right to Helen's hand.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29So you didn't win her yourself?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Be careful, Prince.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41Your father wrote in his letters you had much to learn.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42HE SLURPS

0:33:44 > 0:33:45What else did he say?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49I can't read, so I wouldn't know.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51It's time for bed, I think.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54The Queen must not over-strain herself and you...

0:33:54 > 0:33:57..you must be tired after your long journey.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Everyone keeps telling me that I should be tired. But...

0:34:00 > 0:34:03HE SCOFFS ..I'm not.

0:34:03 > 0:34:04But the Queen is.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22DISTANT MUSIC PLAYS

0:35:54 > 0:35:57The Queen's women are beautiful.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03They've been friends of my wife's since birth.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04You're a lucky man.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06You think so?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08I miss my real home.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Have you been to Mycenae?

0:36:11 > 0:36:12No.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16You should. There we have real culture.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19This place is a wilderness,

0:36:19 > 0:36:21though I've done my best to tame it.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25But look at her.

0:36:27 > 0:36:28She's worth it all.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31But we were saying...

0:36:32 > 0:36:33Helen.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Bring our daughter to meet our guest.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Hermione.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Meet the Prince of Troy.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Beautiful, isn't she?

0:36:56 > 0:36:58And with brains to match.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01You may go now, Hermione.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04No, wait.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Hermione will need a husband soon.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Dynastic marriages strengthen all parties involved.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14They are like hands held fast across the water.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20That's the reason your father sent you here, Prince.

0:37:21 > 0:37:22Or didn't you know?

0:37:25 > 0:37:27I'm honoured to be considered worthy of her.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31- I didn't say you were.- Oh!

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Not yet.

0:37:35 > 0:37:36Come, Hermione.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42We should find time to discuss that other matter, Pandarus.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Whenever you wish, my Lord.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Did you know about this?

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Why? Doesn't it please you?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Of course it does.

0:37:56 > 0:37:57If it's my father's wish.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01And yours.

0:38:01 > 0:38:02It's business.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07My husband wants a treaty with Troy.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09My daughter is part of the deal.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Is Troy THAT important?

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Troy controls the straits from Asia.

0:38:14 > 0:38:18Everything passes through your city.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Tin from the east to make bronze.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Spices from India.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27So everyone wants a piece.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Welcome to the world, Prince.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Why do you look at me like that?

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Surprised I have a mind of my own?

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Not surprised in the slightest.

0:38:47 > 0:38:48How did you sleep?

0:38:56 > 0:38:57Not so well.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02In Troy, we've got the sea breeze,

0:39:02 > 0:39:04cools the skin. Here...

0:39:06 > 0:39:08..the heat's like a furnace.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14And then I thought I heard music.

0:39:16 > 0:39:17But maybe I was wrong.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Do you know the story of Actaeon?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33No. Should I?

0:39:35 > 0:39:39He spied on the bathing goddess Diana

0:39:39 > 0:39:43and was turned into a stag for his pains.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Dogs chased him through the forest...

0:39:50 > 0:39:52..and tore his flesh to pieces.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Maybe it was worth it.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09They're staying longer.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Pandarus thinks that Menelaus will agree to the marriage

0:40:12 > 0:40:14to his daughter.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16I don't like him being away.

0:40:17 > 0:40:18He's reckless.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well, I was reckless at his age,

0:40:21 > 0:40:22or I'd never have won you.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27The gods have forgiven us, Hecuba.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Why can't you?

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Odysseus of Ithaca sends his greatest tributes and affections,

0:40:34 > 0:40:37along with the finest alabaster from Assyria,

0:40:37 > 0:40:41lapis lazuli from Bactra, and jasper from Minoa.

0:40:41 > 0:40:46All of Troy is grateful and pays tribute to the great King Odysseus.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54King Agamemnon of Mycenae sends his respects

0:40:54 > 0:40:57and, along with it, a chariot of gold.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02King Agamemnon won the beauteous Helen

0:41:02 > 0:41:05and the kingdom of Sparta for his brother.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07He knows the true value of a gem.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22May I walk with your daughter, my Lord?

0:41:22 > 0:41:24It's only right we get to know each other.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Of course. Hermione.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Show the Prince the chamber of silks.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48These were a gift from an Indian king.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52He tried to buy my mother's hand, but...

0:41:53 > 0:41:55..she turned him down.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Why?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01She refused all offers until her father forced her to take a husband.

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Didn't she want to marry?

0:42:04 > 0:42:05Must we always talk about her?

0:42:09 > 0:42:10What do you want to talk about?

0:42:13 > 0:42:14I don't know.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19I'm not sure what to say or do.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24I'm not like my mother, I'm not skilled in these things.

0:42:28 > 0:42:29I'm not good with men.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33I don't know what to do.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35It's all right.

0:42:37 > 0:42:38It's all right.

0:42:48 > 0:42:52Hermione. Your father wants to see you.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54He asked me to come here.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59He didn't ask you to make a fool of yourself.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01I'll show the Prince the silks myself.

0:43:12 > 0:43:13Stop playing games.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Games, my Lady?

0:43:18 > 0:43:20It may suit my husband to do so.

0:43:20 > 0:43:21It does not suit you.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Hermione's a girl. She's not ready for courtship.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26I wasn't courting her.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28I was comforting her.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30That's not what it looked like.

0:43:30 > 0:43:31Well, that's what it was.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35- We should go back to the dinner. - Not yet.

0:43:35 > 0:43:39All those bloody dinners. They're stifling.

0:43:44 > 0:43:47These silks were given to my father...

0:43:47 > 0:43:49- TOGETHER:- ..by an Indian king.

0:43:49 > 0:43:50You turned him down.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55- I know. - Then there's nothing more to say.

0:43:55 > 0:43:56We should go.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Please don't look at me like that.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04I'm your hostess and Queen of this palace.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06And does that make you happy?

0:44:06 > 0:44:08It's no concern of yours how I feel.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12I'll bet this palace was once very different

0:44:12 > 0:44:14when it was yours and your father's.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17And you were different too.

0:44:19 > 0:44:20What do you mean?

0:44:20 > 0:44:23Your world here was wild.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Your civilised husband didn't want that.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27It scared him. So he tamed it.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29And he tamed you too.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32I'm a woman. We don't get to select our fate.

0:44:32 > 0:44:33What fate?!

0:44:34 > 0:44:37A life of gritting your teeth through banquets?

0:44:37 > 0:44:39Drugging yourself into oblivion?

0:44:39 > 0:44:42I know what freedom is.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44And this...this isn't it.

0:44:47 > 0:44:49You're royal now.

0:44:49 > 0:44:50Duty will be your master too.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52No-one can master me.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57Except maybe you.

0:44:58 > 0:45:00Be careful what you say.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Caution never got me anywhere.

0:45:06 > 0:45:07What gives you the right...?

0:45:10 > 0:45:12The gods.

0:45:16 > 0:45:17Please don't.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Are you happy?

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Tell me yes and I'll go.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25I'll marry your daughter, just as they all want.

0:45:29 > 0:45:30KNOCKING

0:45:34 > 0:45:37KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:45:37 > 0:45:38Open up!

0:45:40 > 0:45:42What is it?

0:45:42 > 0:45:44My Lady, I come from Mycenae.

0:45:44 > 0:45:45The King's father is dead.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55Your father.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05My brother's set sail for Crete.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07I'm to join him there for the funeral.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10- I'll come with you. - No. We have a guest. You stay.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13My Lord, if it's easier for us to leave, just say.

0:46:13 > 0:46:16I'll not hear it. My father has been sick for some time.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18His death was not unexpected.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20But we must look to the future.

0:46:21 > 0:46:22Celebrate new alliances.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29You have spirit, Alexander. I admire that.

0:46:32 > 0:46:33Please, stay.

0:46:35 > 0:46:36Get to know Hermione.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Come, Helen.

0:46:53 > 0:46:54Five days.

0:47:17 > 0:47:21- HELEN:- Grant his soul joy, give him peace.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25Grant his soul joy, give him peace.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Grant his soul joy, give him peace.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31- Grant his soul joy... - HE EXHALES FORCEFULLY

0:47:33 > 0:47:36Death be his welcome god.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38Let him into your majesty.

0:47:38 > 0:47:39Give him peace.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43Death be his welcome god.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45Let him into your majesty.

0:47:45 > 0:47:46Give him peace.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Death be his welcome god.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Let him into your majesty.

0:47:53 > 0:47:54Give him peace.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58Death be his welcome god.

0:47:58 > 0:48:00Let him into your majesty.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03Give him peace.

0:48:03 > 0:48:06Death be his welcome god.

0:48:06 > 0:48:08Let him into your majesty.

0:48:08 > 0:48:09Give him peace.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Brother.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57Why do you stare at her chair?

0:49:02 > 0:49:03Men are fools.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11- My Lord!- Pack the bags. We're leaving.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14- His Highness asked... - SHOUTS: I don't care what he asked!

0:49:14 > 0:49:15THUNDER RUMBLES

0:49:15 > 0:49:18A storm is coming. We must wait till morning.

0:49:18 > 0:49:19No, we're leaving now!

0:49:20 > 0:49:24- HORSE WHINNIES - My Lord! My Lord!

0:49:26 > 0:49:27We must wait till morning!

0:49:34 > 0:49:37- Get these carts loaded! Quickly! - Yes, sir.

0:49:40 > 0:49:43Come on!

0:49:44 > 0:49:45Get these loaded.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50Get these loaded, come on.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00HE SCREAMS

0:50:05 > 0:50:07KNOCKING

0:51:05 > 0:51:06Why didn't you leave?

0:51:10 > 0:51:11I tried.

0:51:20 > 0:51:21The gods didn't let me.

0:51:26 > 0:51:27I tried to hide from you.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32I locked my door.

0:51:34 > 0:51:35I couldn't sleep.

0:51:39 > 0:51:40Three days in darkness.

0:51:43 > 0:51:44I've gone mad.

0:51:46 > 0:51:47You've made me mad.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04What?

0:53:08 > 0:53:10I was thinking about your name.

0:53:12 > 0:53:13Paris.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18I like it.

0:53:20 > 0:53:21It suits you better.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39There's something I haven't told you.

0:53:42 > 0:53:43When I was a shepherd...

0:53:47 > 0:53:51..I was told by Aphrodite I'd meet the world's most beautiful woman...

0:53:53 > 0:53:56..and that she'd be mine.

0:53:58 > 0:53:59And you think that's me?

0:53:59 > 0:54:00I'm sure of it.

0:54:01 > 0:54:03You're a fool.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10- SHOUTS IN DISTANCE:- My Lord! My Lord!

0:54:13 > 0:54:16Prince Alexander!

0:54:16 > 0:54:17My Lord!

0:54:21 > 0:54:23Your men are calling.

0:54:23 > 0:54:25My Lord!

0:54:30 > 0:54:31You should go.

0:54:31 > 0:54:32I can't leave you.

0:54:35 > 0:54:38They can't find you here. My husband will have you killed.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40When will I see you again?

0:54:41 > 0:54:42I don't know.

0:54:42 > 0:54:44Maybe at your wedding to my daughter.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46- That will never happen. - Well then, never.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52- Just go. Please.- Come with me.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57I can't.

0:54:57 > 0:55:00Come now, before your husband gets back.

0:55:00 > 0:55:02It's impossible. I'd be seen. People would know.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05You say that you are a woman and that you have no choice in life.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07But that's not true. You have a choice now.

0:55:07 > 0:55:08I have a daughter.

0:55:10 > 0:55:11I can't just walk away.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15- She doesn't deserve that. - And what about you?

0:55:19 > 0:55:20What do you deserve?

0:55:32 > 0:55:36Please, just...just go!

0:55:48 > 0:55:49Are the horses ready?

0:55:49 > 0:55:52Yes, and the weather's much improved.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54Make peace, we're not done here.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56You're leaving?

0:55:56 > 0:55:57I'm afraid so.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59When will you return?

0:56:00 > 0:56:05My Lord, the Queen sends her apologies. She is feeling unwell.

0:56:05 > 0:56:07She won't be down to say goodbye.

0:56:07 > 0:56:11She is sending a gift for your mother, Queen Hecuba.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14See that it's carefully loaded onto the ship.

0:56:18 > 0:56:21My mother should be here to bid you farewell.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24What does it matter?

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Is that why you're leaving early?

0:56:26 > 0:56:28Because of her?

0:56:31 > 0:56:33She rejected you, didn't she?

0:56:37 > 0:56:38Don't come back.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Let's get going!

0:56:59 > 0:57:00Let's go!

0:57:32 > 0:57:36King Priam seeks your blessing for this new child.

0:57:36 > 0:57:39Oh, gods, be merciful.

0:58:34 > 0:58:37Where is my wife?!

0:58:37 > 0:58:39I'm not a possession, I'm a woman.

0:58:39 > 0:58:41I think, I feel.

0:58:41 > 0:58:44What if they come for her? Agamemnon needs no excuse for a fight.

0:58:46 > 0:58:47We are running out of time.

0:58:47 > 0:58:50Your wedding will bless the voyage to Troy.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52This doesn't look like a marriage altar.

0:58:53 > 0:58:56Last time there was a war here, I was your age.

0:58:56 > 0:58:59I want your loyalty, Zeus, to Greece and to me.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01This city bows to no-one.

0:59:01 > 0:59:05We will bring the rage of the gods down on your Asiatic heads!
