0:00:02 > 0:00:04This programme contains some violent scenes and strong language.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06- Where is she?! - I told you, he's taken her.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08That's not possible! Get a message to my brother.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10The king sacrificed his own daughter
0:00:10 > 0:00:12to appease the gods in coming here.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Where is my wife?!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16She doesn't want to go back.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20We will bring the rage of the gods down on your Asiatic heads!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22What is worth fighting for?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25He's agreed. Surround the city.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42HE GRUNTS
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Since the Greeks changed strategy, we have found it impossible
0:01:27 > 0:01:29to keep trade routes open to the city.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34For almost a year, the siege has prevented us
0:01:34 > 0:01:37from farming our lands outside the walls.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Our crops have been ruined,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43supplies have been seized, fishing vessels plundered.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48They tried to beat us in battle...and they failed.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Now they hem us in.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I've therefore no choice
0:01:53 > 0:01:55but to implement rationing on the whole city.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It will begin tomorrow.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The granaries will be patrolled by our soldiers
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and grain distributed only by royal decree.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08This is a proud city,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and we are a people of great courage,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14but the glory of war is over.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19The hard graft starts now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Father, can we make an exception
0:02:31 > 0:02:33to the men opening up the underground waterways?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35They're working day and night.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37No exceptions!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Change the shifts more often if necessary,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41but the same rule applies for all.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43How far have the men dug?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46We've reached halfway to the caves at Charos Bay.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49But it is going to take months more to complete.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Will the food last that long?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52If we are stringent in our enforcement.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Anyone caught stealing must suffer the severest punishment
0:02:55 > 0:02:57in order to deter the others.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59What about the palace's own stores?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Can't we share them?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'm happy to have no more than any citizen.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07How very kind of you, madam.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10However, our city needs its leaders to be fit and well.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11What the city needs is grain.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Trojans are a tough people. They will understand our position.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We won't be holding any wedding banquets, I can assure you.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19What does that mean?! We didn't ask for any wedding...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21That's enough!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Why is a slow death any better than a fast one?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29If we are to die, I'd prefer to do so with honour.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Resisting.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Odysseus is strangling the life out of us to provoke a reaction.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'm not going to fall for it and lose more men.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43If we open up the waterways, we create a supply line.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46By the time those tunnels are ready,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48there'll only be corpses left to use them.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59YELLING
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Alexander?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What are you doing?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Maybe you can sit and watch...I can't.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Give me that.- Alexander?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Pandarus creates trouble as a hobby. Just ignore him.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And Andromache?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Why does she still treat me like an enemy?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Andromache's like her father, a bit stubborn.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55She'll come around.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I wouldn't worry about it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You know, you shouldn't blame yourself.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05What do you mean?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Maybe you think if you'd gone back to the Greeks
0:05:07 > 0:05:10when you had the chance, they'd have all gone home.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Wouldn't they?- Oh, no, my dear.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16They would have stuck you in Menelaus' tent
0:05:16 > 0:05:17for his pleasure and revenge,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20and carried on doing exactly what they're doing now.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Trust me, you're not the first foreign bride
0:05:24 > 0:05:25to come into this city.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Trojans make you earn their respect,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34but once you have it, it's yours for life.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Then let me earn it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY
0:05:43 > 0:05:46You're going to have to scrub harder to get that off.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50You can leave now, all of you.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51I will wash my husband.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Mm-hm.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Pretty, that little one, isn't she?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05HE CHUCKLES
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You can drag the boy out of the dirt...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I had to do something.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I can't just stand around all day.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Looks like I've dragged you into the dirt with me.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Oh, no. I chose to come.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00BARKING
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Telamon? Grandma says we're only allowed
0:07:12 > 0:07:14to give out half a loaf to each family a day.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Orders from the palace. - Yes, I heard.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20How can people live on that?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22People are tougher than you think.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- I hate the Greeks.- Yeah, me too.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I was only supposed to be here a week. Now look at me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You can stay as long as you like.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Your grandma doesn't mind?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- She needs a man to help.- Hm!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Will you share your ration with Keno?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Better do, hadn't I?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Dogs don't get anything at all.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'm sorry, my lady, but your womb is still empty.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Are you sure?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15But we did everything you said.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We just need to be patient.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It will happen.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22We will make offerings. Perhaps...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Perhaps I should see someone who knows what they're doing.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Andromache? - SHE SIGHS
0:08:32 > 0:08:34LOW CHATTER
0:08:47 > 0:08:48MAN COUGHS
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Excuse me, my lady. I want to talk to you...now.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- What's going on?- Do you know the hills between here and Cilicia?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I-I grew up there. - So you know the smaller paths?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Um...sure. Why?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I need you to come with me.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16We're riding out there tonight.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- How can Cilicia help us? - Get dressed and meet me outside.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I thought you didn't trust me.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I don't.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29No! It's too dangerous!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31We'll go under cover of darkness. Four men...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The Greeks control the plains and the sea.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36They have camps in the forests beyond.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So we'll take the mountain paths. Alexander can lead us.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44The Greeks don't know the hills like I do.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49If I can reach Cilicia, I can ask Andromache's father to help us.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51He can open up the waterways from the sea caves at Charos
0:09:51 > 0:09:53while we do the same from this end.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Digging from both sides.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59We can have a supply line up and running in half the time.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02We can get in grain, animals, even weapons.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05And what if you get caught? This is madness!
0:10:06 > 0:10:07What did you always say to me?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Better to die on one's feet than live on one's knees.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18SHE SIGHS
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Are you sure about this?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35It's a mistake.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Alexander knows the routes better than anyone.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- But can you rely on him? - I don't know.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44But I intend to have a child with you one day.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46And it is going to need feeding.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Tell my father I love him.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's only three days.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07If you don't come back...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I didn't come all this way to lose you now.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Hector.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Take these men with you. They're two of my best.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Alexander! - ALEXANDER SHOUTS
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Alexander! Keep calm.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Alexander! Wait!
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Alexander!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Come on... Come on, come on.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Go on. Go on.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31They're play fighting. When it's for real, let me know.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27My lord.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31My lord!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Another Trojan escape attempt.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Two got away. But this young man...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43..is ours.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20So let's talk.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Where were you trying to get to?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47You know what happens if you don't do as I ask.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Don't be stupid.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55You move that tongue of yours. Or I'll cut it out.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Who's he?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01He's my brother. The rightful owner.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03King Menelaus.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Get that smile off your face.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17What?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Your wife...
0:17:23 > 0:17:24..is no longer your wife.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Whoever she's fucking,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31she's still mine.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34He's not just fucking her.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38He's married her.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Was that necessary? He could have been helpful.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You get my fucking wife back.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Hector. My horse panicked.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47A horse panics when it doesn't trust its rider.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52We lost two good men today. We can rest here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53We'll travel again when it's dark.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07What's he doing?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's called thinking, Thersites. You might try it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Thersites, wait!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It knows you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Should do.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25He's been living in my house for the last ten years.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Madam.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Not now.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Madam...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I said not now.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43There's another midwife in the lower city.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46She used to work here at the palace.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04How did you meet Andromache?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It was arranged by our fathers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Cilicia is an important ally, so...
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- ..my father wanted that connection. - A political marriage.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23A political alliance. But a marriage of love.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Love doesn't need to involve stealing someone away in a chest.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33It can be a formal exchange of vows.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Two cities and two families joined together.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Sure.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Alexander, your love got us into this trouble.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Mine might just get us out of it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47The sun's dropping. We need to go.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It's important that we continue to monitor supplies.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21But the tunnel workers are suffering.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm not sure how long we can continue digging...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26We're hoping that the stringent rationing will only be
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- required for a matter of weeks... - Please, may I speak?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31What is it?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33It's about the palace grain stores.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I want to give the city my share.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Madam. It has already been discussed.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Not to my satisfaction.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44My lord.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47There was a crop failure one year in Sparta when I was a child.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I asked my father what he was going to do.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55He told me there are two types of royal family.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The ones that in time of famine put an extra lock on the palace doors...
0:22:01 > 0:22:02..and the ones who open them up.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06I'll be giving out my share.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11What you do is your choice.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Samira, this is...- I know who it is.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I told him to get himself inside the city.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58In case negotiations failed.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And to send me the dog when time is right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I wasn't sure he'd made it. Until now.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Typical Odysseus. Always a contingency plan.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Can you trust him?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Xanthius has served me since he was a child. A loner.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Prefers the company of dogs to men. Says they're more loyal.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21He has a point.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Yes, Patroklus, I trust him.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25So what now?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30You're the one who gets things done. Menelaus wants his wife back.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I'll get you into the city. The rest is up to you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Minoa says you helped Queen Hecuba give birth.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I brought your husband, Princess Cassandra,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and the Prince Alexander into the world.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Did Hector come easily?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Couldn't wait to make his mark.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Alexander's was a much more difficult birth...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58What do you mean?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Is it true what they say? He has returned?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08He was the last baby I ever delivered.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Why?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Ask the Queen.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42We'll have to take the higher pass.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44It's longer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45But you avoid being seen from the North.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Apollo, giver of truth and light, hear our prayers.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Apollo, giver of truth and light, hear our prayers.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Great Apollo, hear our prayers.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Apollo, giver of truth and light, hear our prayers.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Apollo, giver of truth and light, hear our prayers.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Hector!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Eetion.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm sorry we couldn't send word.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54How is my daughter?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55She misses you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I've been terribly worried. I think of her every day.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02This is?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Alexander. My brother.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05My daughter's told me all about you.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Brought up in these hills, weren't you?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Yes.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You must wish you'd never left.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16How is the city?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18We're running short on grain and oil.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20People are starting to slaughter their work animals.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24All our efforts to send in food have failed, every one.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We're opening up the underground waterways.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32If we can dig from both sides,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35in two months, we'll have a supply line from the sea.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38We can stay in Troy until the Greeks finally lose patience and leave.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What do you need?
0:26:40 > 0:26:46Men. Digging from the caves at Charos. But...the work is dangerous.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48My daughter's trapped in Troy.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You'll find no shortage of volunteers here.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Come to town. Eat. Rest.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59High Priest Chriseis. Bless these men.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Both of them.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15May Apollo bless you and reward your courage,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18that we may come together in these times of trouble.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Wait. Just wait.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Stand back!
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The palace share their own grain with you all today.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40When we suffer, we suffer together.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Thank you!- For the children...
0:28:00 > 0:28:01It's all right.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08I know what you're thinking.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16Helen of Sparta is the reason Troy is in the trouble it's in.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I think it too.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Every day.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33What you did was brave. You are not Helen of Sparta.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You are Helen of Troy.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Thank you.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- I hope this helps.- Thank you.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13There's more?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I hope this helps.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27The people like her, don't they?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29She's got a popular touch.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35We're all fighting together.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Maybe I can't convince you to like her.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40But I want you on her side.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44We are at war.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47The Greeks are strangling this city.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Two of my sons could be dead for all I know.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53We can't afford to have another war inside this family.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Do you understand?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I will be kinder to her.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Thank you.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Helen's not the only one struggling.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I know.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I wanted a second opinion.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Minoa took me to see a woman in the lower city.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Her name is Samira.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27And I wanted to ask you - is she any good?
0:30:27 > 0:30:32It's just that you dismissed her, I think, after Alexander was born.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Yes, we did.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39She was completely incompetent.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I nearly died, and so did Alexander.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46You shouldn't use her.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'm sorry.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Agamemnon.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19When they get her back, what do you plan to do with her?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Whatever you decide to do, I lost my daughter because of her.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35She needs to answer to me too.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Hector.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Can I tell you something?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51When I was a shepherd,
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Aphrodite came to me.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56In a vision.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04She said I'd have the most beautiful woman in the world.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- We've all had that dream. - But mine came true.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Helen is that woman.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16That's why I did what I did.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I'm blessed by the gods.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Do you really believe that?- Yes.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24I do.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12Litos?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23No need for formalities. I'm not your high priest any more.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I hear Troy suffers.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31That's why we came.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I pray in this temple every day.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Make offerings to your city,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40that it may be protected.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- You were lucky to leave when you did.- Lucky?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Did they tell you why I left?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00My father said you'd gone to seek closeness to Apollo
0:34:00 > 0:34:02in your later years.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03That's good.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Why didn't you acknowledge me when we arrived?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Your brother. Why is he with you?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18He knows the land, the smaller paths.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19So he's going back with you?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Yes, of course.- He mustn't.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Your brother must not return to Troy, Hector.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I speak with the authority of the gods.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Don't make the mistake your father made.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34He must not go back.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I don't understand what you're saying.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Choose one.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Choose.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16This is what happened at his birth.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20And every day since he returned,
0:35:20 > 0:35:22the blood runs black.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25And you know what that means.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Your father defied the gods.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30You must obey them.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Make sure he never gets back to the city.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35What do you mean?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38I mean you stop him!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Any way you can.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Aphrodite.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55If you did choose me...
0:35:57 > 0:35:59..protect Paris now.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Give him the caution he lacks.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Bring him home.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19KNOCK ON DOOR
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Come in.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Andromache.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We're both waiting for our men to return.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I thought it might help if we waited together.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Time to go.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Eetion, when they get to the cave, the channel they make in the rock
0:36:58 > 0:37:01needs to be wide enough to take mules and carts.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Plus, they'll be digging against the stream, so it won't be easy.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05We'll manage.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Who's this?- Shepherd's daughter.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Trust me. She won't let you down.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Then we'll see you soon. Under the earth.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21Take this back with you. It's a gift from our people.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22The first of many.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Kiss my daughter.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Tell her I'll see her soon.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Goodbye, Alexander. May the gods be with you.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40He's a good horse. Look after him better than the last one, hm?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56What is it?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Fortified wine. One of my women used to make it for me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03It worked when I was trying to conceive.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07At least it may have helped.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08I don't know.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I promise it won't do any harm.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17When I was in Sparta,
0:38:17 > 0:38:18all my company was female.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I miss women's friendship.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26What about you?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Me?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34My husband is the only friend I need.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37You're lucky. Not many wives can say that.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Tell me about your daughter.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47What about her?
0:38:47 > 0:38:48What's she like?
0:38:53 > 0:38:58She was always more like her father than me.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Intelligent. Sharp.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I could never find my way through to her.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09You speak of her in the past tense.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's how I feel, I suppose.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I had Hermione very young.
0:39:18 > 0:39:1914 years old.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22I wasn't really ready...
0:39:24 > 0:39:28The truth is Hermione would be happier without me.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31I don't believe that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Not all women are designed for motherhood.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37How can you say that?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I know it must seem ungrateful.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45But I never found it easy to be a mother.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Maybe with another man, it would have been different.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Maybe one day it will be.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57I truly hope...you get what you desire.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Now I know why Alexander fell in love so quickly.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- What do you mean?- I don't know. You have a...
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- Please don't say beauty.- No. You have a charm.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- I pity Menelaus.- Why?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24How unhappy he must have been trying to hold on to you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25I didn't want to hurt him.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'm sure you never do.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28What do you mean?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31You can try all you like.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Smile, give out grain,
0:40:33 > 0:40:35win their hearts,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37but deep down you know you don't belong here.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Thank you for the wine.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Odysseus says it's time.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15He wants to know if you're ready.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Achilles?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24What do you think the sea makes of it all, Patroklus?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31We come here, we fight, we bleed,
0:41:31 > 0:41:32patch up...
0:41:34 > 0:41:35..fight again.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37To us, it's everything.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40But to the sea?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Yes, I'm ready.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05When do we move?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07When I'm sure it's safe.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11We'll need to ride fast.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Don't you worry about that.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Hector. In case we don't make it...
0:42:21 > 0:42:23..I never meant to bring dishonour to our city...
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I fell in love. That's all.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Troy is my home now.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I'd do anything for it to be free.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37What if you can never see Helen again?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Anything except that.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I've made a mess of everything, haven't I?
0:42:48 > 0:42:54If the goddess really did come to you, then...she'll protect you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57You think so?
0:43:02 > 0:43:03They're still not back?
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Not yet.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Can't you send someone out?
0:43:07 > 0:43:08I wish we could.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12Congratulations.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Your gesture to the city was clearly appreciated.
0:43:18 > 0:43:19I just did what I felt was right.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Oh, you underestimate yourself.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26You have become the city's cause and totem.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27In one day.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31It takes more than a pretty face to win a war.

0:51:45 > 0:51:49You more than anyone know I do not love Menelaus.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Never did.
0:51:53 > 0:51:54That's not my concern.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55It should be.
0:51:57 > 0:52:03You're taking a woman you admire by force back to a man she abhors.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30This is war.
0:52:30 > 0:52:31Not some stupid game.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33This isn't war.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38This is you breaking into a defenceless woman's bedroom
0:52:38 > 0:52:42to appease a man I know you don't respect.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55It's beneath you, my warrior.
0:53:00 > 0:53:01And you know it.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Come with me now...
0:53:06 > 0:53:08..and this war ends immediately.

0:53:31 > 0:53:35- You. Fetch Princess Helen, now! - Sir.
0:53:35 > 0:53:41If you stay here, there will be bloodshed and destruction.
