Your story is a strange one. I should like to hear it from your mouth. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
You're not a shepherd any more. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Your name is Alexander, Prince of Troy. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
You're making a great mistake. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
I see it in his eyes. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
Troy controls the straits from Asia, so everyone wants a piece. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to the world, Prince. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
The queen sends her apologies. She won't be down to say goodbye. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
See that it's carefully loaded onto the ship. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
The gods do not forget. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
This programme contains scenes which some viewers may find upsetting | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
and graphic violent scenes. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
-Where is she? -I told you, he's taken her. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
That's not possible! | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
I will not be humiliated. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Get a message to my brother. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
Is it true? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
He brought her right up the street like his bloody bride. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Where are they? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
They're resting from the journey. They're coming to see me later. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Is it what I think? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
Tell them. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
He stole her away in a chest. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
We had no idea she was inside until we set sail. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
I tried to persuade him to return her. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
He threatened to throw me in the sea. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
He claims to love her. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
How could you not notice what was going on? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I apologise, my lady. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
I should have foreseen that, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
while the King of Sparta was burying his dead father, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
your new son would try to sleep with his wife. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Don't you use that tone with us! We put him in your charge! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
By now, Menelaus will know they've eloped. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
He'll have told his brother. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Agamemnon needs no excuse for a fight. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
She must be sent back, before they do something foolish. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Andromache's right. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
Agamemnon will have rallied all the kings of Greece. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
We can't waste any time. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
We'll send a message that we regret the discourtesy, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
return Helen, and send gifts of our own. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Why should I bow to him? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
We made this city prosperous through sweat and blood. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-This city bows to no-one. -And will continue to do so. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
Your pride can afford to take one hit | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
if it's to save the city from any future harm. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
She must go back, Priam. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Leave us. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
Forgive me, Your Majesty. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
The Spartan queen requests an audience. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
No, I said later. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
My lord. My lady. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
If my fate is to be decided, I would like you to hear me first. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
You have a nerve, my lady. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
I hear... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
..my queen, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
that you rule Troy alongside your husband, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
that, in this city, man and woman are equal in respect and power. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
I humbly claim that respect now. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
I was married at 14 against my will | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
to a man I had not met and would never love. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
Not for one moment have I been happy with Menelaus. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
I didn't choose him. I never would have. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
I do choose... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
..to be with your son. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
I'm not a possession. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
I'm a woman. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
I think, I feel, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
and I'm here because I want to be. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
Agamemnon demands that Odysseus join him in support of his brother. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
-I've told you, our king is distracted. -Mm. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-Let me see him. -He's not fit to see anyone. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
BABY CRIES IN DISTANCE | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Shh, shh, shh. Baby, shh, shh, shh. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
My lady! Good to see you again. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-You're looking for my husband? -Yes. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
He and his army are required to join the war effort against Troy. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
I read your letters. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
The Trojan prince has offended the whole of Greece. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Which is why the whole of Greece must rebuff him. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
A week ago, Odysseus was taken with a fever which went to his brain. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-I'm sorry to hear that. -He won't talk to me. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-To any of us. -Take me to him. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
He ploughs it day and night. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Odysseus! It's Diomedes, your old friend. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-There's no point taking him to war. What use would he be? -Maybe. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
Maybe he's as cunning as he ever was. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Maybe you both are. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-Odysseus! No! -COW MOOS | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Odysseus! Stop! | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
You're not so mad after all. HE CHUCKLES | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
Telemachus... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
..you're the man of the house now. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Look after your mother and sister for me. You must. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
Come here. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
-Let's go! -Move on! | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-HORSE WHINNIES -Walk on! | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
First, welcome home, my son. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-Thank you, Father. -You understand, of course, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
what has happened between you is not just a matter of the personal. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
Your actions are political because of who you are. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-Father, listen to me... -We sent you, Alexander, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
on a mission of diplomacy. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
There are voices in favour of sending the queen back. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
MURMURING | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
You dare...I'll go with her. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-Sit down. -You'll never see me again. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Sit down! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Alexander, my love... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
..sit down. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
You are our son, | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
and whatever we may feel on the matter, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
we love and defend you. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
We will therefore seek an agreement with our Greek friends. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
We will keep the queen, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
but send ambassadors with gifts of Troy | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
that will more than match those you have brought from Sparta. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
Hopefully, our embassy will arrive | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
before the Greeks' anger turns into action. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
Who knows? This may even strengthen bonds, not break them. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
This won't work. You must know that the Greeks - | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
they won't accept gold as a substitute for a queen. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
She is flesh and a symbol. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
They'll just throw it back in your face. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
This is the decision of myself and the queen. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
In the meantime, Helen is to be treated as our guest, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
and closest friend. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
Agamemnon, he's arrived. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
You're late. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
Your letters failed to reach me. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Tricks of Hermes. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Now we are complete! No more delay! | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
SOLDIERS CHEER | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Tricks of Hermes? Tricks of Penelope, more like. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
Ajax, what do you know about women? Just stick to fighting and spitting. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:01 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-Who else is here? -We all are. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
Lovers and defenders of Greece, as I know you are. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
And the best strategist we have. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
You don't need me to return a whore to her marriage bed. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
You admire Helen as much as the rest of us. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
I seem to remember you fought for her hand. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
We all did. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
And look who won her. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
No war should be fought for such a man. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
In stealing Helen, the Trojan prince insulted all of us. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
Not just about the girl, though, is it, Nestor? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
Is that Achilles? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Oh, yes. He's here, too. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
Odysseus, let's walk together. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
I know we've shared harsh words in the past. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-I'd just like to say... -All forgotten, my lord. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
We have one enemy now. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
This war won't take long. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
We get the queen back.... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
..and we teach them a lesson. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-The gods will see to it. -They must. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
Cruel wind. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:39 | |
How long has it been blowing like this? | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
It's been gusting onshore since we came. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-It'll change. -If it doesn't, we can't sail in this. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
Did you make offerings to the goddess? | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
In the haste of anger, rituals may have been neglected. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-She's offended. -The offence is against us. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
The winds WILL change. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
Get the priest and the seers. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Make offerings of birds to the goddess. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Now. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
Surely Artemis will understand. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Artemis, accept these pledges of regret for our forgetfulness. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
Huntress, abate your anger. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Please, show mercy. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
Tell us your will. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Whatever you desire, we will perform. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
What happened? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
She demands... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Speak, man. What is it? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
She demands | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
a sacrifice of a dove, purer than pure. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
I tried. I took a white dove in my hand, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
cut its throat, but she just laughed. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
She said, "That is not the dove I mean." | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
The dove she wants is human. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Human? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Your daughter. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
This will be prevented. Try again. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
-Brother... -Don't say anything. There must be a way. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
-The goddess was clear. -Why? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Why demand that? To kill my own blood - why? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
So you can look a Trojan in the eye as you break their city | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
and know that nothing they suffer | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
can compare to what you suffered here. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-What kind of justice is that? -The justice of war, my lord. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:51 | |
-Then we won't travel to Troy. -You will have us look like cowards. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-Then you give up your child! -Hermione wasn't asked for. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
What if I offer myself? I'll slit my own throat. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Then we lose a leader and gain nothing. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
There is no negotiation, sir. You know that. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
Brother... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
..we are running out of time. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
We must find the best way... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-..to expedite... -Expedite? Expedite?! Do you have a heart? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Yes, my lord, but we are here now. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
The winds will not change unless you do. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Your men will not follow a king the gods have abandoned. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
We have tried all other forms of sacrifice. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Artemis is unmoveable. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
Alexander's our son. My instinct is to defend him, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-even though he's wrong. -Mine, too. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
You remember the first time I saw you? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-The spring games at Hattusa. -SHE CHUCKLES | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
I was spellbound by you in seconds. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
Wouldn't you like to be young again? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
To have what Alexander's got in his eyes? That self-belief? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
Age mellows us. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
But it's supposed to make us wise. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
Your daughter will be here soon. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-What have they been told? -That she's coming for her wedding. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
Help me. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Get me out of this. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
I'm sorry, I don't know how. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Xanthius, make sure Achilles stays in his tent. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
He knows nothing about this. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
Going behind the great fighter's back, sir? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-He'll love that. -Thersites, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
if I want your opinion, I will ask for it. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
HE WHISTLES | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
Why am I marrying now, just when they're going to war? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
Your wedding will bless the voyage to Troy. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Anyway, I don't know why you're moaning. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
It's Achilles. Not exactly a monster. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-Will I live with him after? -Yes, of course. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
-What is it? -I don't want to leave you. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
You're not leaving us. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
You're joining Achilles. It's a very different thing. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
And he is handsome. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
THEY CHUCKLE | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
Try these. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
-What are they? -Mulberries. They give the cheek life. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
SHE CHUCKLES Not like that. You'll look drunk. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
Here, let me. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
It should look like it comes out of the face. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Now, it's from he East. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Gold. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
SHE CHUCKLES Here. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Agamemnon, this is wonderful news, if unexpected. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:07 | |
The gods wish it as a blessing. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
-And the warrior is willing? -He is. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Iphigenia. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Father... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
..isn't this a happy day? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
-Where is he? -Achilles is preparing for the ceremony. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
I want to see my future son-in-law. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
The king will take Iphigenia to the altar. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
I will escort you to him. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
What do you think? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
My husband is not himself. What's going on, Odysseus? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
-Has Achilles changed his mind? -No, my lady. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
He's preparing himself apart from the rest, up on the brow. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
Then why is everything so rushed? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
You know Menelaus has been humiliated. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
There's no time for pause. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
This way. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
What is this? | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
This doesn't look like a marriage altar. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Where are the flowers? | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
What is it, Father? You look afraid. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
The gods - they didn't demand Iphigenia's marriage. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
What do you mean? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
No. No! No! | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
No! No! | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
The wind blows hard against us. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
The goddess gave me no choice. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
But I'm your daughter. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
No! | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
No! No! | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
No! If it is to happen, let it be without struggle. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
Do it. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
No! | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Do it! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
-No! -Why? Why?! | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
Why?! | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Why?! Why?! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:15 | |
Why?! Why?! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
Why?! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Why?! | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
What is it? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
I'm happy. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
I'm so lost. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
WIND WHISTLES | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Achilles! Achilles! The wind turns! | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
-Do you like it? -Very much. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
They're from vines just outside the city. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
The olives are from there, too. The best you'll eat. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
Excuse me. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
-Andromache! -She's tricked him. She knew exactly what she was doing. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:37 | |
-She's playing with us all. -We don't know that. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
She left her own daughter, Hector. What kind of a woman does that? | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
I don't know. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:47 | |
What if they come for her? | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
What will we do? | 0:29:57 | 0:29:58 | |
-What is it? -You should come. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:26 | |
As far as the horizon, scores and scores of them. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
Tell me. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
We were restocking at Thrace. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
We saw a fleet of Greek ships. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
Thousands of men, weapons, chariots, horses. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
-Who leads them? -All the Greek kings. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
Agamemnon. Odysseus. Diomedes. Nestor of Pylos. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:50 | |
Achilles? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
Achilles was there and all his Myrmidon warriors. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
When I asked a soldier why they were at sea, | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
he said they were after stolen treasure. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
I asked where they were going. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
They said here. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:05 | |
Thank you. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
Set up beacons on the cliffs and on the outlying islands. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
I'll send word to Andromache's father in Cilicia | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
and all our allies in the neighbouring cities. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Get messengers ready to ride out. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
I'll raise the army, put the city on war footing. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
You were right. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
The last time there was a war here, I was your age. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
Hey! Go on! Get out! | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
Hesion! Hesion! | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
Is it true? Are we going to fight? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
Looks like it. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:17 | |
Hey, it'll be all right. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
Come on. Armies need bread. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
I want a show of strength to force them into negotiations. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
-Father! -They have to know we're ready for them. -Yes, my Lord. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
They won't let me in the chamber. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
I'm a brother in name, but when it comes down to it... | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
You have no experience in battle. That's all. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
No. They don't trust me. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
And they won't trust you, either. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:20 | |
Listen. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:24 | |
Let them confront the Greeks. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:27 | |
-This will be over without war. -You really think so? | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
I have to believe it. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
WHISPERING | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
They're coming. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
We're ready for you, Menelaus! | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
We should talk, before we all regret our actions. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
I am honoured to have you as my guest, Menelaus, | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
and my condolences on the death of your father. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
He was a good man. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
I hope the welcome on the beach showed you that | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
we're not some village to be bullied into submission. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-Where is my wife? -Perhaps we could begin... | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
-Where is my wife?! -Safe. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
I want to see her. Alone. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
You can see her, but not alone. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-How dare you prescribe to me the terms of... -Here, | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
-or not at all. -Bring her in. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
MURMURING | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
Address me. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
What as? | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
Your husband. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:33 | |
The king. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:36 | |
My lady, you've been treated well? | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
I have been afforded every hospitality. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
Is that all? | 0:36:47 | 0:36:48 | |
Did that boy plan this before he arrived? | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
Did he force you? | 0:37:11 | 0:37:12 | |
-No. -No? | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
What did I do to deserve such treatment? | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
Nothing. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
We found love. That's all. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
One day, perhaps... | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
..you'll understand. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
I will never understand. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
Is that all? | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
King Agamemnon wishes you to understand | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
he has a large military force in support of his claim. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:16 | |
It is clear that Queen Helen desires to stay here as our guest. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
I'm sure Agamemnon does not desire the shedding of blood. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
My lady, blood has already been shed. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
The king sacrificed his own daughter to appease the gods in coming here. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:33 | |
MURMURING | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
His own child? | 0:38:38 | 0:38:39 | |
-Killed? -By his own hand. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
So, I hope you will understand how our conditions for peace | 0:38:45 | 0:38:50 | |
are non-negotiable. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
-Name them. -The immediate return of the Queen of Sparta to her husband. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
She doesn't want to go back. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
With all due respect, King Priam, | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
what she wants is of little interest to us. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
She is yours. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
DOOR OPENS | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
-They're sending me back. -What about the negotiations? | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
Agamemnon killed his own daughter to guarantee success. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
Help me. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:47 | |
Get me out. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
I can't go back. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
Hey. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
HE WHISTLES | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
-Come on. -DOG BARKS | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
We have another condition. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
Such an insult as King Menelaus has suffered demands retribution. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:15 | |
We will return all gifts and make reparations. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
These are King Agamemnon's demands. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
The straits of the Dardanelles - you control them. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:31 | |
You tax every cargo, every ship. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
-Is this a joke? -I assure you not. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
-This'll break us. -A few years' hardship. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
Nothing more. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:49 | |
-A lesson learned. -Oh, I see. This is why you're here? | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
To destroy our economy? | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
We are here because you insulted my honour! | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
Don't be hasty. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
King Priam, consider the best option for your city. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:10 | |
I was the loudest voice in advocating Helen's return. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
Hector is wise. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:15 | |
Get out, and take your conditions with you. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
No-one's taking her. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:29 | |
-No-one! -This is a disgrace. A breach of the protocol. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
Alexander, put down your weapon. Your queen isn't going anywhere. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
Troilus, Deiphobus, see them out. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:43 | |
We will bring the rage of the gods down | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
on your Asiatic heads! | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
Think again. No-one wants this war. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
-Make a counter-offer. -Leave, | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
and take your smooth tongue with you. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
We will be back. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
Father, I, erm... | 0:42:44 | 0:42:46 | |
Forgive me. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:53 | |
Tomorrow at dawn, outright assault. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
We start at the ridge, charge the plain, | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
meet them face-to-face. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:44 | |
Infantry and horsemen. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
We force them back to their own walls. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:49 | |
We climb the citadel, we take the city, we get her back. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
We take their gold, we destroy the city, we go home. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
We should build ditches. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
Dig ourselves in between the plain and the ships | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
in case of counter-attack. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:05 | |
No need. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
The assault will take one day, and no more. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
How can you be sure? | 0:44:10 | 0:44:12 | |
The gods have guaranteed it... | 0:44:12 | 0:44:13 | |
..with my daughter's blood. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:16 | |
Remember, remember, remember. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:39 | |
You come back to me. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
Go on. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
He's friendly. You can stroke him. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
-Doesn't your dad help you with that? -Haven't got a dad. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:27 | |
I'll help you home. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:32 | |
My name's Telamon. I'm a trader from Thrace. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
I got here three weeks ago and now look what's happened. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:42 | |
HE WHISTLES What's your dog called? | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
His name's Keno. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
-But why not? -Because every Greek - every damn one - will seek you out. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:52 | |
Menelaus knows what you look like. We can't disguise you. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
We need to keep you safe, away from the field. | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
-I'll look like a coward. -Rather that than a corpse. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
-Go back to Helen. -My lord. -Stay safe. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
-Aeneas and the Dardanian forces have arrived from the south. -Ah. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:07 | |
Aeneas, your speed is welcome. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:10 | |
We heard of the Spartan queen's arrival, | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
so we were already standing by. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
Come. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:17 | |
Let's go get them, my lord. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:39 | |
-Are you with me? -ARMY: -Yes! | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
-Are you with me? -Yes! -Are you with me? -Yes! | 0:47:33 | 0:47:37 | |
-Are you with me? -Yes! -Are you with me? -Yes! | 0:47:37 | 0:47:42 | |
Are you with me? | 0:47:42 | 0:47:45 | |
Are you with me? Are you with me? | 0:47:45 | 0:47:49 | |
I want your loyalty, Zeus, to Greece and to me. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
Athena has already demanded it, | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
and what I said to her, I say to you. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:03 | |
I will not take sides. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
Aphrodite must be punished. She bribed him with flesh. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
And such underhand methods, you'd never contemplate. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:25 | |
Be a coward, then. We won't need you. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:34 | |
Good. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:37 | |
Victory will be fast. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
That, I doubt. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
Ajax of Telamon, unbeatable in brawl, I bless you. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:27 | |
Deiphobus and Troilus, sons of Priam, I bless you. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:33 | |
Odysseus, leader of the high-hearted men | 0:49:33 | 0:49:36 | |
of Cephalonia and Ithaca, I bless you. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
Sarpedon and Glaucus, | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
of the swirling waters of Xanthos, I bless you. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
Nestor and his son Antilochus, | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
Agapenor of Arcadia, I bless you. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
Aeneas, leader of the Dardanians of the south, I bless you. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:59 | |
Diomedes, the spear, son of Tydeus, I bless you. | 0:49:59 | 0:50:04 | |
Hector. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
HE CRIES OUT | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
Achilles. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:27 | |
HORSES WHINNY | 0:50:27 | 0:50:29 | |
ALL CRY OUT | 0:50:29 | 0:50:33 | |
ARROWS WHISTLE | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
Retreat! Retreat! Come back! | 0:51:24 | 0:51:28 | |
HE GASPS FOR AIR | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
We didn't make one inch of ground. | 0:52:12 | 0:52:14 | |
We should be surrounding the city... | 0:52:16 | 0:52:18 | |
..digging ourselves in, cutting their supplies. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:22 | |
This isn't warfare. This is a madness. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
Maybe tomorrow will be different. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:30 | |
Nestor... | 0:52:32 | 0:52:33 | |
..when Hector refused our demands, I saw the years open up before me. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:40 | |
I'll be an old man before I see home again. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:47 | |
What will I be? | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
Can I help? Can I help? I can help! I can help. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:59 | |
KNOCK ON DOOR | 0:53:41 | 0:53:43 | |
I want to see her. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:52 | |
What are you doing in here? You need to leave now. | 0:53:55 | 0:54:00 | |
You should never have come. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:06 | |
You should never have come! | 0:54:07 | 0:54:09 | |
You should never have come! | 0:54:10 | 0:54:13 | |
I know she's dead, so why do I keep seeing her? | 0:54:41 | 0:54:44 | |
Why did I do it? What was the point? | 0:54:47 | 0:54:49 | |
It was demanded. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:52 | |
And what's my reward? | 0:54:55 | 0:54:56 | |
More death. More blood. Is that justice? | 0:54:59 | 0:55:02 | |
War is like a grief, sir. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:07 | |
You can't force it to be over in one day. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:11 | |
We will prevail... | 0:55:13 | 0:55:15 | |
..but not like this. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:18 | |
Tell me what to do. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:24 | |
He's agreed. Surround the city. | 0:55:34 | 0:55:39 | |
One sentry post every half-mile. Let no-one in, no-one out. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:44 | |
Tell the men to dig deep. It needs to last. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
Wait. Wait! | 0:55:55 | 0:55:57 | |
Have you seen Queen Helen? I can't find her. | 0:55:59 | 0:56:01 | |
What? | 0:56:06 | 0:56:08 | |
Tell me, where has she gone? | 0:56:12 | 0:56:14 | |
-Go back. -Wait. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
Wait! | 0:56:37 | 0:56:39 | |
All this, because of what? | 0:56:48 | 0:56:51 | |
The goddess wanted to win a competition. | 0:56:53 | 0:56:55 | |
This isn't going to be over in a week, or a month. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:01 | |
There'll be more battles, more deaths. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:04 | |
I can't be the one responsible for that. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
-Don't say it. -I'm going home. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:13 | |
That's not your home. | 0:57:14 | 0:57:16 | |
-Then where is? -With me. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:22 | |
-Love isn't always enough. -Then what is? | 0:57:31 | 0:57:34 | |
What is worth fighting for? | 0:57:38 | 0:57:40 |
