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.

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

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.

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

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.

0:26:02 > 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.

0:27:21 > 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

0:28:55 > 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.

0:30:38 > 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.

0:35:59 > 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!
