1. Men are haunted by the vastness
of eternity.
Copy !req
2. And so we ask ourselves...
Copy !req
3. will our actions echo
across the centuries?
Copy !req
4. Will strangers hear our names
long after we're gone...
Copy !req
5. and wonder who we were...
Copy !req
6. how bravely we fought...
Copy !req
7. how fiercely we loved?
Copy !req
8. Good day for the crows.
Copy !req
9. I told you yesterday
and I'll tell you again today.
Copy !req
10. Remove your army from my land.
Copy !req
11. I like your land.
Copy !req
12. I think we'll stay. I like your soldiers too.
Copy !req
13. They fought bravely yesterday.
Copy !req
14. Not well, but bravely.
Copy !req
15. They won't fight for you.
Copy !req
16. That's what the Messenians said.
Copy !req
17. And the Arcadians and the Epeians.
Copy !req
18. Now they all fight for me.
Copy !req
19. You can't have the whole world,
Agamemnon.
Copy !req
20. It's too big, even for you.
Copy !req
21. I don't want to watch another massacre.
Copy !req
22. Let's settle this war in the old manner.
Your best fighter against my best.
Copy !req
23. And if my man wins?
Copy !req
24. We'll leave Thessaly for good.
Copy !req
25. I'm a generous man.
Copy !req
26. if mine wins,
you can keep your throne...
Copy !req
27. but Thessaly falls
under my command...
Copy !req
28. to fight with me whenever I call.
Copy !req
29. Boagrius!
Copy !req
30. This is my man.
Copy !req
31. Achilles!
Copy !req
32. Boagrius has this effect on many heroes.
Copy !req
33. Careful who you insult, old king.
Copy !req
34. My king, Achilles is not with the army.
Copy !req
35. - Where is he?
- I sent a boy to look for him.
Copy !req
36. I was having a good dream.
Copy !req
37. Very good dream.
Copy !req
38. King Agamemnon sent me. He needs to—
Copy !req
39. I'll speak to your king in the morning.
Copy !req
40. But my Iord, it is morning.
Copy !req
41. They're waiting for you.
Copy !req
42. Are the stories about you true?
Copy !req
43. They say your mother is
an immortal goddess.
Copy !req
44. They say you can't be killed.
Copy !req
45. I wouldn't be bothering
with the shield then, would l?
Copy !req
46. The Thessalonian you're fighting...
Copy !req
47. he's the biggest man I've ever seen.
I wouldn't want to fight him.
Copy !req
48. That's why no one will remember
your name.
Copy !req
49. Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
50. Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
51. Perhaps we should have our war tomorrow,
when you're better rested.
Copy !req
52. I should have you whipped
for your impudence!
Copy !req
53. Perhaps you should fight him.
Copy !req
54. Achilles.
Copy !req
55. Achilles.
Copy !req
56. Look at the men's faces.
You can save hundreds of them.
Copy !req
57. You can end this war
with a swing of your sword.
Copy !req
58. Think how many songs they'll sing
in your honor.
Copy !req
59. Let them go home to their wives.
Copy !req
60. lmagine a king who fights his own battles.
Wouldn't that be a sight.
Copy !req
61. Of all the warlords loved by the gods,
I hate him the most.
Copy !req
62. We need him, my king.
Copy !req
63. For now.
Copy !req
64. ls there no one else?
Copy !req
65. ls there no one else?
Copy !req
66. Who are you, soldier?
Copy !req
67. Achilles. Son of Peleus.
Copy !req
68. Achilles?
Copy !req
69. I'll remember the name.
Copy !req
70. The ruler of Thessaly carries this scepter.
Copy !req
71. Give it to your king.
Copy !req
72. He's not my king.
Copy !req
73. - Brothers in arms!
- Brothers in arms!
Copy !req
74. - Friendship!
- Friendship!
Copy !req
75. Princes of Troy,
on our last night together...
Copy !req
76. Queen Helen and I salute you.
Copy !req
77. We've had our conflicts before, it's true.
Copy !req
78. We fought many battles, Sparta and Troy.
And fought well!
Copy !req
79. But I have always respected your father.
Copy !req
80. Priam is a good king, a good man.
Copy !req
81. I respected him as an adversary.
I respect him now as my ally.
Copy !req
82. Hector, Paris, young princes, come.
Stand.
Copy !req
83. Drink with me.
Copy !req
84. Let us drink to peace.
Copy !req
85. To peace between Troy and Sparta.
Copy !req
86. May the gods keep the wolves in the hills
and the women in our beds.
Copy !req
87. - For the gods.
- For the gods.
Copy !req
88. Strong arm.
Thank the gods we made peace.
Copy !req
89. I've seen too many of my men struck down
with this arm.
Copy !req
90. Never again, I hope.
Copy !req
91. Only one man wields a sword
better than you.
Copy !req
92. Achilles.
Copy !req
93. That madman.
Copy !req
94. He would hurl a spear at Zeus himself.
if the god insulted him.
Copy !req
95. See that one over there?
I picked her special for you.
Copy !req
96. She's a little lioness.
Copy !req
97. Thank you.
My wife waits for me in Troy.
Copy !req
98. My wife waits for me right there.
Copy !req
99. Wives are for breeding.
Copy !req
100. You understand, for making little princes.
Come enjoy yourself tonight.
Copy !req
101. You make excellent wine in Sparta.
Copy !req
102. You shouldn't be here.
Copy !req
103. That's what you said last night.
Copy !req
104. Last night was a mistake.
Copy !req
105. And the night before?
Copy !req
106. I've made many mistakes this week.
Copy !req
107. Do you want me to go?
Copy !req
108. Yes.
Copy !req
109. Where should I go?
Copy !req
110. Away.
Copy !req
111. Far away.
Copy !req
112. I have something for you.
Copy !req
113. Pearls from the Sea of Propontis.
Copy !req
114. They're beautiful.
Copy !req
115. But I can't wear them.
Copy !req
116. Menelaus would kill us both.
Copy !req
117. Don't be afraid of him.
Copy !req
118. I'm not afraid of dying.
Copy !req
119. I'm afraid of tomorrow.
Copy !req
120. I'm afraid of watching you sail away
and knowing you'll never come back.
Copy !req
121. Before you came to Sparta, I was a ghost.
Copy !req
122. I walked, and I ate,
and I swam in the sea...
Copy !req
123. but I was just a ghost.
Copy !req
124. You don't have to fear tomorrow.
Copy !req
125. Come with me.
Copy !req
126. Don't play with me. Don't play.
Copy !req
127. if you come, we'll never be safe.
Copy !req
128. Men will hunt us, the gods will curse us.
Copy !req
129. But I'll love you.
Copy !req
130. Till the day they burn my body...
Copy !req
131. I will love you.
Copy !req
132. Tecton.
Copy !req
133. Make the proper offerings to Poseidon
before we sail.
Copy !req
134. We don't need any more widows in Troy.
Copy !req
135. Goat or pig?
Copy !req
136. Which does the sea god prefer?
Copy !req
137. I'll wake the priest and ask him.
Copy !req
138. Paris.
Copy !req
139. We should get to bed.
We won't sleep on land again for weeks.
Copy !req
140. I have no trouble sleeping on the seas,
brother.
Copy !req
141. Athena sings lullabies to me.
Copy !req
142. And who sang Iullabies to you tonight?
Copy !req
143. Tonight?
Copy !req
144. Tonight was the fisherman's wife.
Copy !req
145. A lovely creature.
Copy !req
146. I hope you didn't let the fisherman
catch you.
Copy !req
147. He was more concerned with the fish.
Copy !req
148. You do understand why we're in Sparta.
Copy !req
149. For peace.
Copy !req
150. And you understand that Menelaus,
the king of Sparta, is a very powerful man.
Copy !req
151. And that his brother Agamemnon,
the king of Mycenae...
Copy !req
152. commands all the Greek forces.
Copy !req
153. What does this have to do
with the fisherman's wife?
Copy !req
154. Paris...
Copy !req
155. you're my brother and I love you.
Copy !req
156. But if you do anything
to endanger Troy...
Copy !req
157. I will rip your pretty face
from your pretty skull.
Copy !req
158. Now get some sleep.
Copy !req
159. We sail in the morning.
Copy !req
160. A beautiful morning.
Poseidon has blessed our voyage.
Copy !req
161. Sometimes the gods bless you in the
morning and curse you in the afternoon.
Copy !req
162. Drop sail!
Copy !req
163. Do you love me, brother?
Copy !req
164. Would you protect me
against any enemy?
Copy !req
165. The last time you spoke to me like this...
Copy !req
166. you were 10 years old,
and you'd just stolen Father's horse.
Copy !req
167. What have you done now?
Copy !req
168. I must show you something.
Copy !req
169. - Where is she?
- Who, my king?
Copy !req
170. I swear by the father of the gods,
I will gut you here if you don't tell me!
Copy !req
171. My king!
Copy !req
172. She left.
Copy !req
173. With the Trojans.
Copy !req
174. The fisherman here saw her
board their ship.
Copy !req
175. The Trojans?
Copy !req
176. With the young prince, Paris. She...
Copy !req
177. Get my ship ready.
Copy !req
178. Turn us round. Back to Sparta.
Copy !req
179. High on the sail!
Copy !req
180. - Wait, wait.
- You fool!
Copy !req
181. - Listen to me.
- Do you know what you've done?
Copy !req
182. Do you know how many years our father
worked for peace?
Copy !req
183. I love her.
Copy !req
184. It's all a game to you, isn't it?
Copy !req
185. You roam from town to town, bedding
merchants' wives and temple mates.
Copy !req
186. You think you know
something about love.
Copy !req
187. What about your father's love? You spat on
him when you brought her on this ship!
Copy !req
188. What about the love for your country?
You'd let Troy burn for this woman?
Copy !req
189. I won't let you start a war for her.
Copy !req
190. May I speak?
Copy !req
191. What you're saying is true. I've wronged
you. I've wronged our father.
Copy !req
192. if you want to take Helen
back to Sparta, so be it.
Copy !req
193. But I go with her.
Copy !req
194. To Sparta? They'll kill you.
Copy !req
195. Then I'll die fighting.
Copy !req
196. Oh, and that sounds heroic to you,
doesn't it? To die fighting.
Copy !req
197. - Little brother, have you ever killed a man?
- No.
Copy !req
198. - Ever seen a man die in combat?
- No.
Copy !req
199. I've killed men, and I've heard them dying.
And I've watched them dying.
Copy !req
200. And there's nothing glorious about it.
Nothing poetic.
Copy !req
201. You say you want to die for love.
You know nothing about dying.
Copy !req
202. And you know nothing about love!
Copy !req
203. All the same, I go with her.
Copy !req
204. I won't ask you to fight my war.
Copy !req
205. You already have.
Copy !req
206. To Troy!
Copy !req
207. About ship! Set sail!
Copy !req
208. - I want her back.
- Well, of course you do.
Copy !req
209. She's a beautiful woman.
Copy !req
210. I want her back so I can kill her
with my own two hands.
Copy !req
211. I won't rest till I've burned Troy
to the ground.
Copy !req
212. I thought you wanted peace with Troy.
Copy !req
213. I should have listened to you.
Copy !req
214. Peace is for the women...
Copy !req
215. and the weak.
Copy !req
216. Empires are forged by war.
Copy !req
217. All my life, I've stood by your side,
fought your enemies.
Copy !req
218. You're the elder, you reap the glory.
This is the way of the world.
Copy !req
219. But have I ever complained?
Have I ever asked you for anything?
Copy !req
220. Never. You're a man of honor.
Copy !req
221. Everyone in Greece knows this.
Copy !req
222. The Trojans spat on my honor.
Copy !req
223. An insult to me is an insult to you.
Copy !req
224. And an insult to me
is an insult to all Greeks.
Copy !req
225. Will you go to war with me, brother?
Copy !req
226. I always thought my brother's wife
was a foolish woman...
Copy !req
227. but she's proved to be very useful.
Copy !req
228. Nothing unifies a people
like a common enemy.
Copy !req
229. The Trojans have never been conquered.
Copy !req
230. Some say they can't be conquered.
Copy !req
231. Old King Priam thinks he's untouchable
behind his high walls.
Copy !req
232. He thinks the sun god will protect him.
Copy !req
233. But the gods protect only...
Copy !req
234. the strong!
Copy !req
235. if Troy falls...
Copy !req
236. I control the Aegean.
Copy !req
237. Hector commands the finest army
in the east.
Copy !req
238. And Troy is built to withstand
a 10-year siege.
Copy !req
239. There won't be a 10-year siege.
Copy !req
240. I'll attack them with the greatest force
the world has ever seen.
Copy !req
241. I want all the kings of Greece
and their armies.
Copy !req
242. Send emissaries in the morning.
Copy !req
243. One last thing.
Copy !req
244. We need Achilles and his Myrmidons.
Copy !req
245. Achilles.
Copy !req
246. He can't be controlled.
He's as likely to fight us as the Trojans.
Copy !req
247. We don't need to control him,
we need to unleash him.
Copy !req
248. That man was born to end lives.
Copy !req
249. Yes, he's a gifted killer.
But he threatens everything I've built.
Copy !req
250. Before me, Greece was nothing.
I brought all the Greek kingdoms together.
Copy !req
251. I created a nation out of fire worshipers
and snake eaters!
Copy !req
252. I build the future, Nestor. Me!
Copy !req
253. Achilles is the past.
Copy !req
254. A man who fights for no flag.
A man loyal to no country.
Copy !req
255. How many battles have we won
off the edge of his sword?
Copy !req
256. This will be the greatest war
the world has ever seen.
Copy !req
257. We need the greatest warrior.
Copy !req
258. There's only one man he'll listen to.
Copy !req
259. I'll send a ship in the morning.
Copy !req
260. Greetings, brother.
Copy !req
261. We were told
King Odysseus is hid in the hills.
Copy !req
262. Odysseus?
Copy !req
263. That old bastard drinks my wine
and never pays.
Copy !req
264. You ought to respect your king, friend.
Copy !req
265. Respect him?
Copy !req
266. I'd like to punch him in the face.
Copy !req
267. He's always pawing at my wife,
trying to tear her clothes off.
Copy !req
268. I hope Agamemnon's generals
are smarter than his emissaries.
Copy !req
269. What did you say?
Copy !req
270. You want me
to help you fight the Trojans.
Copy !req
271. You're...
Copy !req
272. Are you...?
Copy !req
273. Forgive us, King Odysseus.
Copy !req
274. Well...
Copy !req
275. I'm gonna miss my dog.
Copy !req
276. King Agamemnon has a favor
to ask of you.
Copy !req
277. Of course he does.
Copy !req
278. Never hesitate.
Copy !req
279. Fancy swordplay.
Copy !req
280. Nervous?
Copy !req
281. Petrified.
Copy !req
282. You told me never
to change sword hands.
Copy !req
283. Yes. When you know how to use it,
you won't be taking my orders.
Copy !req
284. Your reputation for hospitality
is fast becoming Iegend.
Copy !req
285. Patroclus, my cousin.
Copy !req
286. Odysseus, king of lthaca.
Copy !req
287. Patroclus.
Copy !req
288. I knew your parents well.
Copy !req
289. I miss them.
Copy !req
290. Now you have this one
watching over you, eh?
Copy !req
291. Learning from Achilles himself.
Copy !req
292. Kings would kill for the honor.
Copy !req
293. Are you here at Agamemnon's bidding?
Copy !req
294. We need to talk.
Copy !req
295. I will not fight for him.
Copy !req
296. I'm not asking you to fight for him.
Copy !req
297. I'm asking you to fight for Greece.
Copy !req
298. Have the Greeks tired of fighting
each other?
Copy !req
299. - For now.
- For the Greeks!
Copy !req
300. The Trojans never harmed me.
Copy !req
301. They insulted Greece.
Copy !req
302. They insulted a man who couldn't hold
on to his wife. Is that my business?
Copy !req
303. Your business is war, my friend.
Copy !req
304. Is it? Am I the whore of the battlefield?
Copy !req
305. The man has no honor.
Copy !req
306. I won't be remembered
as a tyrant's mercenary.
Copy !req
307. Let Achilles fight for honor.
Let Agamemnon fight for power.
Copy !req
308. And let the gods decide
which man to glorify.
Copy !req
309. Forget Agamemnon.
Copy !req
310. Fight for me.
Copy !req
311. My wife will feel much better
if she knows you're by my side.
Copy !req
312. I'll feel much better.
Copy !req
313. ls Ajax going to fight in Troy?
Copy !req
314. They say he can fell an oak tree
with one swing of the ax.
Copy !req
315. Trees don't swing back.
Copy !req
316. We're sending the largest fleet
that ever sailed.
Copy !req
317. A thousand ships.
Copy !req
318. A thousand ships?
Copy !req
319. Prince Hector. Is he as good a warrior
as they say?
Copy !req
320. The best of all the Trojans.
Copy !req
321. Some say he's better
than all the Greeks too.
Copy !req
322. Even if your cousin doesn't come...
Copy !req
323. I hope you'Il join us.
We could use a strong arm like yours.
Copy !req
324. Play your tricks on me,
but not my cousin.
Copy !req
325. You have your swords. I have my tricks.
Copy !req
326. We play with the toys the gods give us.
Copy !req
327. We sail for Troy in three days.
Copy !req
328. This war will never be forgotten.
Copy !req
329. Nor will the heroes who fight in it.
Copy !req
330. They say the king of lthaca
has a silver tongue.
Copy !req
331. I knew they would come for you.
Copy !req
332. Long before you were born...
Copy !req
333. I knew they would come.
Copy !req
334. They want you to fight in Troy.
Copy !req
335. I'm making you
another seashell necklace.
Copy !req
336. Like the ones I made you
when you were a boy.
Copy !req
337. Do you remember?
Copy !req
338. Mother...
Copy !req
339. tonight, I decide.
Copy !req
340. if you stay in Lárisa...
Copy !req
341. you will find peace.
Copy !req
342. You will find a wonderful woman.
Copy !req
343. You will have sons and daughters,
and they will have children.
Copy !req
344. And they will love you.
Copy !req
345. When you are gone,
they will remember you.
Copy !req
346. But when your children are dead
and their children after them...
Copy !req
347. your name will be lost.
Copy !req
348. if you go to Troy...
Copy !req
349. glory will be yours.
Copy !req
350. They will write stories about your
victories for thousands of years.
Copy !req
351. The world will remember your name.
Copy !req
352. But if you go to Troy...
Copy !req
353. you will never come home.
Copy !req
354. For your glory walks hand in hand
with your doom.
Copy !req
355. And I shall never see you again.
Copy !req
356. You know this to be true, Mother?
Copy !req
357. I know this.
Copy !req
358. - My son.
- Father.
Copy !req
359. Paris.
Copy !req
360. Father.
Copy !req
361. - This is Helen.
- Helen?
Copy !req
362. Helen of Sparta?
Copy !req
363. Helen of Troy.
Copy !req
364. I've heard rumors of your beauty.
Copy !req
365. For once...
Copy !req
366. the gossips were right.
Copy !req
367. Welcome.
Copy !req
368. Thank you, good king.
Copy !req
369. Come, you must be tired.
Copy !req
370. Look.
Copy !req
371. He's grown.
Copy !req
372. He is strong.
Copy !req
373. He's just like his father.
Copy !req
374. - Paris!
- Briseis!
Copy !req
375. Beloved cousin, your beauty grows
with each new moon.
Copy !req
376. Briseis.
Copy !req
377. A servant of Apollo now.
Copy !req
378. The young men of Troy were devastated
when Briseis chose the virgin robes.
Copy !req
379. Uncle.
Copy !req
380. I thank the gods for your safe return.
Copy !req
381. - For the gods.
- For the gods.
Copy !req
382. For gods.
Copy !req
383. Father...
Copy !req
384. I know this is the last thing we need.
Copy !req
385. It is the will of the gods.
Everything is in their hands.
Copy !req
386. - But I'm surprised you let him bring her.
- if I'd let him fight Menelaus for her...
Copy !req
387. you'd be burning a son's body,
not welcoming a daughter.
Copy !req
388. We could send peace envoys
to Menelaus.
Copy !req
389. You know Menelaus.
He'd spear their heads to his gate.
Copy !req
390. What would you have me do?
Copy !req
391. Put her on a ship and send her home.
Copy !req
392. Women have always loved Paris,
and he has loved them back.
Copy !req
393. But this is different.
Copy !req
394. Something has changed in him.
Copy !req
395. if we send her home to Menelaus,
he will follow her.
Copy !req
396. This is my country,
and these are my countrymen.
Copy !req
397. I don't want to see them suffer
so my brother can have his prize.
Copy !req
398. It's not just the Spartans
coming after her.
Copy !req
399. By now, Menelaus has gone
to Agamemnon.
Copy !req
400. And Agamemnon has wanted
to destroy us for years.
Copy !req
401. Once we're out of the way,
he controls the seas.
Copy !req
402. Enemies have been attacking us
for centuries. Our walls still stand.
Copy !req
403. Father, we can't win this war.
Copy !req
404. Apollo watches over us.
Copy !req
405. Even Agamemnon is no match
for the gods.
Copy !req
406. And how many battalions
does the sun god command?
Copy !req
407. Do not mock the gods.
Copy !req
408. When you were very young,
you came down with scarlet fever.
Copy !req
409. Your little hand was so hot.
Copy !req
410. The healer said
you would not last the night.
Copy !req
411. I went down to Apollo's temple
and I prayed until the sun came up.
Copy !req
412. That walk back to the palace
was the Iongest of my life.
Copy !req
413. But I went into your mother's room
and you were sleeping in her arms.
Copy !req
414. The fever had broken.
Copy !req
415. I promised that day
to dedicate my life to the gods.
Copy !req
416. I will not break my promise.
Copy !req
417. For thirty years I have worked for peace.
Thirty years.
Copy !req
418. Paris is a fool sometimes, I know that.
Copy !req
419. But I will fight 1000 wars
before letting him die.
Copy !req
420. Forgive me, Father,
but you won't be the one fighting.
Copy !req
421. They're coming for me.
Copy !req
422. The wind is bringing them closer.
Copy !req
423. What if we left?
Copy !req
424. Tonight. Right now.
Copy !req
425. What if we went down to the stables,
took two horses and left?
Copy !req
426. Ride east, keep riding.
Copy !req
427. - And go where?
- Away from here.
Copy !req
428. I could hunt deer, rabbit. I could feed us.
Copy !req
429. But this is your home.
Copy !req
430. You left your home for me.
Copy !req
431. Sparta was never my home.
Copy !req
432. My parents sent my there when I was 16
to marry Menelaus.
Copy !req
433. But it was never my home.
Copy !req
434. We'll live off the land.
Copy !req
435. No more palaces for us. No more servants.
We don't need any of that.
Copy !req
436. And your family?
Copy !req
437. We'd be protecting my family. If we're
not here, what's the need for war?
Copy !req
438. Menelaus won't give up.
He'll track us to the end of the world.
Copy !req
439. He doesn't know these lands. I do.
We can lose ourselves in a day.
Copy !req
440. You don't know Menelaus.
Copy !req
441. You don't know his brother.
Copy !req
442. They'll burn every house in Troy
to find us.
Copy !req
443. They'll never believe we've left.
Copy !req
444. And even if they do,
they'll burn it for spite.
Copy !req
445. Then I'll make it easy for him to find me.
Copy !req
446. I'll walk right up to him
and tell him you're mine.
Copy !req
447. You're very young, my love.
Copy !req
448. We're the same age.
Copy !req
449. You're younger than I ever was.
Copy !req
450. Take up your positions!
Copy !req
451. Black sail. It's Achilles.
Copy !req
452. What's the fool doing?
Copy !req
453. He's going to take the beach of Troy
with 50 men?
Copy !req
454. Row, Myrmidon, row!
Copy !req
455. My lord?
Copy !req
456. Should we wait for the others?
Copy !req
457. - They brought us here for war.
- Yes, but Agamemnon's orders—
Copy !req
458. You fight for me, Eudorus,
or Agamemnon?
Copy !req
459. For you, my lord.
Copy !req
460. Then fight for me. And let the servants
of Agamemnon fight for him.
Copy !req
461. Make way there! Make way!
Copy !req
462. Tecton, is the Apollonian Guard ready?
Copy !req
463. - Waiting at the city gates.
- Good. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
464. Lysander, how long
before the army is ready?
Copy !req
465. Half of our men are still coming.
We have to arm them—
Copy !req
466. - How long?
- Noon.
Copy !req
467. Make it sooner.
Copy !req
468. And Lysander, I want patrols
to scour the countryside.
Copy !req
469. I want every home
and pasture checked...
Copy !req
470. every Trojan to be
brought inside the city walls.
Copy !req
471. if they can't walk, carry them.
Copy !req
472. Patroclus!
Copy !req
473. Put down your spear.
Copy !req
474. - I'm fighting the Trojans.
- Not today.
Copy !req
475. I'm ready. You taught me how to fight.
Copy !req
476. And you're a good student.
But you're not a Myrmidon yet.
Copy !req
477. Look at these men.
Copy !req
478. They are the fiercest soldiers in all
of Greece. Each of them has bled for me.
Copy !req
479. - Guard the ship.
- But this is a war.
Copy !req
480. Cousin, I can't fight the Trojans if I'm
concerned for you. Guard the ship.
Copy !req
481. Trojans!
Copy !req
482. All my life, I've lived by a code.
Copy !req
483. And the code is simple:
Copy !req
484. Honor the gods, love your woman...
Copy !req
485. and defend your country.
Copy !req
486. Troy is mother to us all.
Copy !req
487. Fight for her!
Copy !req
488. Myrmidons...
Copy !req
489. my brothers of the sword.
Copy !req
490. I'd rather fight beside you
than any army of thousands.
Copy !req
491. Let no man forget how menacing we are.
We are lions!
Copy !req
492. Do you know what's there, waiting,
beyond that beach?
Copy !req
493. lmmortality! Take it! It's yours!
Copy !req
494. Fight positions!
Copy !req
495. Archers!
Copy !req
496. Archers, draw!
Copy !req
497. Draw!
Copy !req
498. Keep forward!
Copy !req
499. Form up!
Copy !req
500. Formation!
Copy !req
501. The man wants to die.
Copy !req
502. On my command!
Copy !req
503. Break off! Break off!
Copy !req
504. Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
505. Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
506. Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
507. Give him the battle,
we'll take the war.
Copy !req
508. Give him too many battles and
the men will forget who's king.
Copy !req
509. Ajax, you need to see this.
Copy !req
510. Look at him...
Copy !req
511. hogging all the glory.
Copy !req
512. Row, you lazy whores, row!
Copy !req
513. Greeks are dying! Row!
Copy !req
514. Those men down there need help. Now!
Tecton, with me.
Copy !req
515. I am Ajax, breaker of stones!
Copy !req
516. Look upon me and despair!
Copy !req
517. FIank! To the flank!
Copy !req
518. No!
Copy !req
519. Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
520. Back to the city! Back to the city!
Copy !req
521. The sun god is a patron of Troy,
our enemy.
Copy !req
522. Take whatever treasure you can find.
Copy !req
523. With your permission, my lord.
Copy !req
524. - Speak.
- Apollo sees everything.
Copy !req
525. Perhaps it is not wise to offend him.
Copy !req
526. Warn the men.
Copy !req
527. Wait.
Copy !req
528. You are very brave or very stupid
to come after me alone.
Copy !req
529. You must be Hector.
Copy !req
530. Do you know who I am?
Copy !req
531. These priests weren't armed.
Copy !req
532. Yes. There's no honor
in cutting old men's throats.
Copy !req
533. Only children and fools fight for honor.
Copy !req
534. I fight for my country.
Copy !req
535. Fight me!
Copy !req
536. Why kill you now, prince of Troy...
Copy !req
537. with no one here to see you fall?
Copy !req
538. Why did you come here?
Copy !req
539. They'll be talking about this war
for 1000 years.
Copy !req
540. In 1000 years, the dust
from our bones will be gone.
Copy !req
541. Yes, prince. But our names will remain.
Copy !req
542. Go home, prince. Drink some wine,
make love to your wife.
Copy !req
543. Tomorrow, we'll have our war.
Copy !req
544. You speak of war as if it's a game.
Copy !req
545. How many wives wait at Troy's gates
for husbands they'll never see again?
Copy !req
546. Your brother can comfort them. I hear
he's good at charming other men's wives.
Copy !req
547. My lord, you let him go?
Copy !req
548. It's too early in the day for killing princes.
Copy !req
549. Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
550. Achilles! Achilles! Achilles!
Copy !req
551. - Achilles.
- Ajax.
Copy !req
552. You're as fearless as the gods.
I'm honored to go to war with you.
Copy !req
553. As am l.
Copy !req
554. if you sailed slower,
the war would be over.
Copy !req
555. I'll miss the start as long as I'm here
at the end.
Copy !req
556. My lord?
Copy !req
557. I've got something to show you.
Copy !req
558. The men found her hiding in the temple.
Copy !req
559. They thought she'd...
Copy !req
560. amuse you.
Copy !req
561. What's your name?
Copy !req
562. Did you not hear me?
Copy !req
563. You killed Apollo's priests.
Copy !req
564. I've killed men in five countries,
never a priest.
Copy !req
565. Then your men did.
Copy !req
566. The sun god will have his vengeance.
Copy !req
567. What's he waiting for?
Copy !req
568. The right time to strike.
Copy !req
569. His priests are dead,
and his acolyte's a captive.
Copy !req
570. - I think your god is afraid of me.
- Afraid?
Copy !req
571. Apollo is master of the sun.
He fears nothing.
Copy !req
572. - Where is he?
- You're nothing but a killer!
Copy !req
573. You wouldn't know anything
about the gods.
Copy !req
574. I know more about the gods
than your priests.
Copy !req
575. I've seen them.
Copy !req
576. You're royalty, aren't you?
Copy !req
577. Spent years talking down to men.
Copy !req
578. You must be royalty.
Copy !req
579. What's your name?
Copy !req
580. Even the servants of Apollo have names.
Copy !req
581. Briseis.
Copy !req
582. Are you afraid, Briseis?
Copy !req
583. Should I be?
Copy !req
584. My lord.
Copy !req
585. Agamemnon requests your presence.
Copy !req
586. The kings are gathering
to celebrate the victory.
Copy !req
587. You fought well today.
Copy !req
588. My lord.
Copy !req
589. What do you want here in Troy?
Copy !req
590. You didn't come for the Spartan queen.
Copy !req
591. I want what all men want.
Copy !req
592. I just want it more.
Copy !req
593. You don't need to fear me, girl.
Copy !req
594. You're the only Trojan who can say that.
Copy !req
595. King Triopas, my lord.
Copy !req
596. You have won a great victory,
my king of kings.
Copy !req
597. No one thought the Trojan beach
could be captured so easily.
Copy !req
598. A beautiful gift, Triopas.
Copy !req
599. You will be among the first to walk
in the streets of Troy tomorrow.
Copy !req
600. My father, Neleus, had this urn made to
commemorate his victory at Cyparisseis.
Copy !req
601. I present it to you...
Copy !req
602. in honor of an even more
memorable victory.
Copy !req
603. Thank you, old friend.
Copy !req
604. Tomorrow, we'll eat supper
in the gardens of Troy.
Copy !req
605. Leave us.
Copy !req
606. War is young men dying and old men
talking. You know this.
Copy !req
607. lgnore the politics.
Copy !req
608. Apparently, you won some great victory.
Copy !req
609. Perhaps you didn't notice. The Trojan
beach belonged to Priam in the morning.
Copy !req
610. It belongs to Agamemnon
in the afternoon.
Copy !req
611. Have the beach.
I didn't come here for sand.
Copy !req
612. No.
Copy !req
613. You came here because you want
your name to last through the ages.
Copy !req
614. A great victory was won today.
Copy !req
615. But that victory is not yours.
Copy !req
616. Kings did not kneel to Achilles.
Copy !req
617. Kings did not pay homage to Achilles.
Copy !req
618. Perhaps the kings were too far behind
to see. Soldiers won the battle.
Copy !req
619. History remembers kings!
Copy !req
620. Not soldiers.
Copy !req
621. Tomorrow, we'll batter down
the gates of Troy.
Copy !req
622. I'll build monuments
on every island of Greece.
Copy !req
623. I'll carve "Agamemnon" in the stone.
Copy !req
624. My name will last through the ages.
Copy !req
625. Your name is written in sand...
Copy !req
626. for the waves to wash away.
Copy !req
627. Be careful, king of kings.
First, you need the victory.
Copy !req
628. Your men sacked the temple
of Apollo, yes?
Copy !req
629. You want gold? Take it.
Copy !req
630. It's my gift to honor your courage.
Take what you wish.
Copy !req
631. I already have.
Copy !req
632. Aphareus!
Copy !req
633. Haemon!
Copy !req
634. The spoils of war.
Copy !req
635. No argument with you, but if you don't
release her, you'll never see home again.
Copy !req
636. - Decide.
- Guards!
Copy !req
637. Stop!
Copy !req
638. Too many people have died today.
Copy !req
639. if killing is your only talent,
that's your curse.
Copy !req
640. I don't want anyone dying for me.
Copy !req
641. Mighty Achilles, silenced by a slave girl.
Copy !req
642. Tonight, I'll have her give me a bath.
Copy !req
643. And then...
Copy !req
644. - ... who knows?
- You sack of wine!
Copy !req
645. Before my time is done, I will look
down on your corpse and smile.
Copy !req
646. if they want a war,
we will give them a war.
Copy !req
647. I would match the best of Troy
against the best of Greece any day.
Copy !req
648. The best of Greece outnumber
the best of Troy two to one.
Copy !req
649. So, what do you suggest?
Copy !req
650. We surrender our city?
Copy !req
651. We allow the Greeks to slaughter our men?
Rape our wives?
Copy !req
652. I suggest diplomacy.
Copy !req
653. The Greeks came here for one thing.
Copy !req
654. Let's be honest, my friends.
Trojans are now burning on the pyre...
Copy !req
655. because of one youthful indiscretion.
Copy !req
656. GIaucus.
Copy !req
657. You have fought with me for 40 years.
Can we win this war?
Copy !req
658. Our walls have never been breached.
Copy !req
659. We have the finest archers in the world.
Copy !req
660. And we have Hector...
Copy !req
661. whose men would fight
the shades of Tartarus if he commanded.
Copy !req
662. Yes, we can win.
Copy !req
663. I spoke with two farmers today.
Copy !req
664. They saw an eagle flying
with a serpent clutched in its talons.
Copy !req
665. This is a sign from Apollo.
Copy !req
666. We will win a great victory tomorrow.
Copy !req
667. Bird signs.
Copy !req
668. You want to plan a strategy
based on bird signs.
Copy !req
669. Hector, show respect.
Copy !req
670. When Archeptolemus prophesied
four years of drought we dug deeper wells.
Copy !req
671. The drought came
and we had water to drink.
Copy !req
672. The high priest is a servant of the gods.
Copy !req
673. And I am a servant of Troy.
Copy !req
674. I've always honored the gods, Father.
You know that.
Copy !req
675. But today I fought a Greek
who desecrated the statue of Apollo.
Copy !req
676. Apollo didn't strike the man down.
Copy !req
677. The gods won't fight this war for us.
Copy !req
678. There won't be a war.
Copy !req
679. This is not a conflict of nations.
Copy !req
680. It is a dispute between two men.
Copy !req
681. I don't want to see another Trojan die
because of me.
Copy !req
682. Paris.
Copy !req
683. Tomorrow morning, I will challenge
Menelaus for the right to Helen.
Copy !req
684. The winner will take her home.
The loser will burn before nightfall.
Copy !req
685. Does he have a chance?
Copy !req
686. Father...
Copy !req
687. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you.
Copy !req
688. Do you love her?
Copy !req
689. You are a great king because you love
your country so much.
Copy !req
690. Every blade of grass.
Copy !req
691. Every grain of sand.
Copy !req
692. Every rock in the river.
Copy !req
693. You love all of Troy.
Copy !req
694. That is the way I love Helen.
Copy !req
695. I've fought many wars in my time.
Copy !req
696. Some were fought for land,
some for power, some for glory.
Copy !req
697. I suppose fighting for love makes
more sense than all the rest.
Copy !req
698. But I won't be the one fighting.
Copy !req
699. The sword of Troy.
Copy !req
700. My father carried this sword,
and his father before him...
Copy !req
701. all the way back
to the founding of Troy.
Copy !req
702. The history of our people
was written with this sword.
Copy !req
703. Carry it with you tomorrow.
Copy !req
704. The spirit of Troy is in that sword.
Copy !req
705. So long as a Trojan carries it...
Copy !req
706. our people have a future.
Copy !req
707. The man who killed Tecton
outside Apollo's temple...
Copy !req
708. I've never seen a spear
thrown like that.
Copy !req
709. An impossible throw.
Copy !req
710. He has no idea what's happening.
Copy !req
711. Thank the gods.
Copy !req
712. Don't go tomorrow.
Copy !req
713. - Please don't go.
- Paris fights tomorrow, not me.
Copy !req
714. Fifty thousand Greeks didn't cross the sea
to watch your brother fight. You know this.
Copy !req
715. You'd make a fine general, my love.
Copy !req
716. You've been fighting your whole life.
Let other men do battle this time.
Copy !req
717. You know I don't want to fight.
I want to see my son grow tall.
Copy !req
718. I want to see the girls chasing after him.
Copy !req
719. Just like they chased his father.
Copy !req
720. He's much more handsome than I ever was.
Copy !req
721. I must see Paris.
Copy !req
722. I lost...
Copy !req
723. seven brothers...
Copy !req
724. in the Spartan wars.
Copy !req
725. You'd think I'd be good at losing by now.
Copy !req
726. I can't lose you.
Copy !req
727. I won't survive.
Copy !req
728. Wait.
Copy !req
729. Wait!
Copy !req
730. Helen, what are you doing?
Copy !req
731. - Let me go.
- No.
Copy !req
732. I saw them burn.
Copy !req
733. I saw them burning on the pyres.
Copy !req
734. That's my fault.
Copy !req
735. It is. You know it is.
Copy !req
736. All those widows.
Copy !req
737. I still hear them screaming.
Copy !req
738. Their husbands died because I'm here.
Copy !req
739. I'm going down to the ships.
Copy !req
740. No, you're not.
Copy !req
741. I'm giving myself back to Menelaus.
Copy !req
742. He can do what he wants.
Copy !req
743. Kill me, make me his slave, I don't care.
Copy !req
744. Anything is better than this.
Copy !req
745. It's too late for that.
Copy !req
746. Do you think Agamemnon cares
about his brother's marriage?
Copy !req
747. This is about power. Not love.
Copy !req
748. Paris is going to fight in the morning.
Copy !req
749. - Yes.
- Menelaus will kill him.
Copy !req
750. I won't let that happen.
Copy !req
751. - It's his decision.
- No.
Copy !req
752. I can't ask anyone to fight for me.
Copy !req
753. I'm no longer queen of Sparta.
Copy !req
754. You're a princess of Troy now...
Copy !req
755. and my brother needs you tonight.
Copy !req
756. My lord.
Copy !req
757. The army is marching.
Copy !req
758. Let them march. We stay.
Copy !req
759. But the men are ready.
Copy !req
760. We stay till Agamemnon groans
to have Achilles back.
Copy !req
761. As you wish.
Copy !req
762. Are you ready to fight?
Copy !req
763. I am.
Copy !req
764. Are you ready to kill? To take life?
Copy !req
765. At night, I see their faces,
all the men I've killed.
Copy !req
766. They're standing there on the far bank
of the River Styx.
Copy !req
767. They're waiting for me.
Copy !req
768. They say, "Welcome, brother."
Copy !req
769. We men are wretched things.
Copy !req
770. I taught you how to fight,
but I never taught you why to fight.
Copy !req
771. I fight for you.
Copy !req
772. Who will you fight for when I'm gone?
Copy !req
773. Soldiers, they fight for kings
they've never even met.
Copy !req
774. They do what they're told,
die when they're told to.
Copy !req
775. Soldiers obey.
Copy !req
776. Don't waste your life following
some fool's orders.
Copy !req
777. Go.
Copy !req
778. Are you sure you want to do this?
Copy !req
779. I started this war.
Copy !req
780. Helen...
Copy !req
781. sit with me.
Copy !req
782. All my life I have prayed against this day.
Copy !req
783. Yes, my king.
Copy !req
784. Call me Father, dear child.
Copy !req
785. Forgive me, Father...
Copy !req
786. for bringing this.
Copy !req
787. I blame you for nothing.
Copy !req
788. Everything is in the hands of the gods.
Copy !req
789. Besides...
Copy !req
790. how could I blame anyone
for falling in love with Paris?
Copy !req
791. Prepare to halt!
Copy !req
792. Prepare to halt!
Copy !req
793. Halt!
Copy !req
794. Move.
Copy !req
795. Menelaus is a bull.
Copy !req
796. He'll charge you,
but keep your distance and use your speed.
Copy !req
797. Brother...
Copy !req
798. you don't have to do this.
Copy !req
799. I see you're not hiding behind
your high walls. Valiant of you.
Copy !req
800. lll-advised, but valiant.
Copy !req
801. You come here uninvited.
Go back to your ships and go home.
Copy !req
802. We've come too far, Prince Hector.
Copy !req
803. Prince? What prince?
Copy !req
804. What son of a king would accept
a man's hospitality...
Copy !req
805. eat his food, drink his wine, then steal
his wife in the middle of the night?
Copy !req
806. The sun was shining
when your wife left you.
Copy !req
807. She's up there, watching,
isn't she? Good.
Copy !req
808. I want her to watch you die.
Copy !req
809. Not yet, brother.
Copy !req
810. Look around you, Hector.
Copy !req
811. I brought all the warriors of Greece
to your shores.
Copy !req
812. You can still save Troy, young prince.
Copy !req
813. I have two wishes.
Copy !req
814. if you grant them,
no more of your people need die.
Copy !req
815. First, you must give Helen
back to my brother.
Copy !req
816. Second, Troy must submit
to my command...
Copy !req
817. to fight for me whenever I call.
Copy !req
818. You want me to look upon your army
and tremble?
Copy !req
819. Well, I see them.
Copy !req
820. I see 50,000 men brought here
to fight for one man's greed.
Copy !req
821. Careful, boy.
Copy !req
822. My mercy has Iimits.
Copy !req
823. And I've seen the limits of your mercy.
Copy !req
824. And I tell you now, no son of Troy
will ever submit to a foreign ruler.
Copy !req
825. Then every son of Troy shall die.
Copy !req
826. There is another way.
Copy !req
827. I love Helen. I won't give her up
and neither will you.
Copy !req
828. So let us fight our own battle.
Copy !req
829. The winner takes Helen home.
And let that be the end of it.
Copy !req
830. A brave offer, but not enough.
Copy !req
831. Let me kill this little peacock.
Copy !req
832. I didn't come here for your pretty wife.
I came here for Troy.
Copy !req
833. I came for my honor.
Copy !req
834. His every breath insults me.
Copy !req
835. Let me kill him. When he's Iying
in the dust, signal to attack.
Copy !req
836. You'll have your city.
I'll have my revenge.
Copy !req
837. So be it.
Copy !req
838. I accept your challenge. And tonight,
I'll drink to your bones.
Copy !req
839. - My lord.
- Back to the line!
Copy !req
840. Make him swing and miss. He'll tire.
Copy !req
841. Brother...
Copy !req
842. if I fall, tell Helen— Tell her—
Copy !req
843. I will.
Copy !req
844. Don't let Menelaus hurt her. If he—
Copy !req
845. You think of your sword and his sword
and nothing else.
Copy !req
846. Get up.
Copy !req
847. Come on.
Copy !req
848. See the crows?
Copy !req
849. They never tasted prince before.
Copy !req
850. Is this what you left me for?
Copy !req
851. Fight!
Copy !req
852. Fight me!
Copy !req
853. You coward!
Copy !req
854. Fight me!
Copy !req
855. We have a pact! Fight!
Copy !req
856. Fight him, son. Fight him.
Copy !req
857. - Fight me!
- The Trojans have violated the agreement!
Copy !req
858. Prepare for battle!
Copy !req
859. This is not honor!
Copy !req
860. This is not worthy of royalty!
Copy !req
861. if he doesn't fight, Troy is doomed.
Copy !req
862. Paris.
Copy !req
863. No. No.
Copy !req
864. The fight is over.
Copy !req
865. The fight is not over.
Copy !req
866. Stand back, Prince Hector.
Copy !req
867. I'll kill him at your feet. I don't care.
Copy !req
868. He is my brother.
Copy !req
869. Paris!
Copy !req
870. Go! Go!
Copy !req
871. Get inside, Paris!
Copy !req
872. Archers!
Copy !req
873. - Our men are too close to the walls.
- Pull back.
Copy !req
874. Pull back, you fool!
Copy !req
875. For Troy!
Copy !req
876. For Troy!
Copy !req
877. - Now!
- Loose!
Copy !req
878. Get them in line!
Copy !req
879. Get the men back into lines!
Copy !req
880. Front line, push!
Copy !req
881. So you're the best of the Trojans.
Copy !req
882. Forward.
Copy !req
883. Forward!
Copy !req
884. Forward!
Copy !req
885. Apollonians! Now!
Copy !req
886. Prince Hector!
Copy !req
887. We need to retreat!
Copy !req
888. My army's never lost a battle yet!
Copy !req
889. You won't have an army
if you don't fall back!
Copy !req
890. Back to the ships!
Copy !req
891. - Back to the ships!
- Retreat!
Copy !req
892. - Back!
- Retreat!
Copy !req
893. Go back!
Copy !req
894. Back. Back to the ships!
Copy !req
895. Fall back!
Copy !req
896. - Men, fall back!
- Halt!
Copy !req
897. Halt!
Copy !req
898. But we have them on the run!
Copy !req
899. We're in range of their archers.
Copy !req
900. Have our men gather our fallen.
Copy !req
901. Send an emissary to them.
They can collect their dead.
Copy !req
902. Would they have done the same for us?
Copy !req
903. Go! Back!
Copy !req
904. Fall back into line!
Copy !req
905. Before I leave...
Copy !req
906. I will burn their city to the ground.
Copy !req
907. Brother, I promise you that.
Copy !req
908. They're laughing at me in Troy.
Drunk with victory!
Copy !req
909. They think I'll sail home at first light.
Copy !req
910. Maybe we should.
Copy !req
911. FIee? Like a whipped dog?
Copy !req
912. The men believe we came here
for Menelaus' wife.
Copy !req
913. Won't be needing her anymore.
Copy !req
914. My brother's blood still wets the sand,
and you insult him!
Copy !req
915. It's no insult to say a dead man is dead.
Copy !req
916. if we leave now, we lose all credibility.
Copy !req
917. The Trojans can beat us so easily.
How long before the Hittites invade?
Copy !req
918. if we stay, we stay here
for the right reasons.
Copy !req
919. To protect Greece, not your pride.
Copy !req
920. Your private battle with Achilles
is destroying us.
Copy !req
921. Achilles is one man.
Copy !req
922. Hector is one man.
Copy !req
923. Look what he did to us today.
Copy !req
924. Hector fights for his country!
Achilles fights only for himself!
Copy !req
925. I don't care about the man's allegiance.
I care about his ability to win battles.
Copy !req
926. He's right.
Copy !req
927. The men's morale is weak.
Copy !req
928. Weak? They're ready to swim home.
Copy !req
929. Even if I could make peace with Achilles,
the man won't listen to me!
Copy !req
930. He's as likely to spear me
as to speak to me!
Copy !req
931. I'll talk to him.
Copy !req
932. He'll want the girl back.
Copy !req
933. He can have that damn girl.
Copy !req
934. I haven't touched her.
Copy !req
935. Where is she?
Copy !req
936. I gave her to the men.
Copy !req
937. They need some amusement after today.
Copy !req
938. Come on, give the bitch to me!
Copy !req
939. Who's first?
Copy !req
940. Trojan whore!
Copy !req
941. What's this? A virgin's robe?
Copy !req
942. - You won't be needing that for much longer!
- Hold her.
Copy !req
943. Come on. Come on. Hold her down.
Copy !req
944. Are you hurt?
Copy !req
945. I watched you fight them.
You have courage.
Copy !req
946. To fight back when people attack me?
Dog has that kind of courage.
Copy !req
947. Eat.
Copy !req
948. I've known men like you my whole life.
Copy !req
949. No, you haven't.
Copy !req
950. You think you're so different
from 1000 others?
Copy !req
951. Soldiers understand nothing but war.
Peace confuses them.
Copy !req
952. - And you hate these soldiers.
- I pity them.
Copy !req
953. Trojan soldiers died trying to protect you.
Copy !req
954. Perhaps they deserve more than your pity.
Copy !req
955. Why did you choose this life?
Copy !req
956. - What life?
- To be a great warrior.
Copy !req
957. I chose nothing. I was born,
and this is what I am.
Copy !req
958. And you? Why did you choose
to love a god?
Copy !req
959. I think you'll find the romance one-sided.
Copy !req
960. Do you enjoy provoking me?
Copy !req
961. You've dedicated your life to the gods.
Copy !req
962. Zeus, god of thunder. Athena,
goddess of wisdom. You serve them.
Copy !req
963. - Yes, of course.
- And Ares, god of war?
Copy !req
964. Who blankets his bed with the skin
of men he's killed?
Copy !req
965. All the gods are to be feared
and respected.
Copy !req
966. I'll tell you a secret...
Copy !req
967. something they don't teach you
in your temple.
Copy !req
968. The gods envy us.
Copy !req
969. They envy us because we're mortal.
Copy !req
970. Because any moment might be our last.
Copy !req
971. Everything's more beautiful
because we're doomed.
Copy !req
972. You will never be lovelier
than you are now.
Copy !req
973. We will never be here again.
Copy !req
974. I thought you were a dumb brute.
Copy !req
975. I could have forgiven a dumb brute.
Copy !req
976. Do it.
Copy !req
977. Nothing is easier.
Copy !req
978. Aren't you afraid?
Copy !req
979. Everyone dies. Today or 50 years
from now. What does it matter?
Copy !req
980. Do it.
Copy !req
981. You'll kill more men if I don't kill you.
Copy !req
982. Many.
Copy !req
983. My lord, there's—
Copy !req
984. Tell the men to start Ioading the ship.
We're going home.
Copy !req
985. Gather the stores.
Copy !req
986. Prepare the ship.
Copy !req
987. Prepare the ship.
Copy !req
988. Agamemnon is a proud man.
Copy !req
989. But he knows when he's made a mistake.
Copy !req
990. The man sends you
to make his apologies?
Copy !req
991. What are you doing enthralled
to that pig of a king?
Copy !req
992. The world seems simple to you,
my friend...
Copy !req
993. but when you're a king,
very few choices are simple.
Copy !req
994. lthaca cannot afford an enemy
like Agamemnon.
Copy !req
995. Are we supposed to fear him?
Copy !req
996. You don't fear anyone.
That's your problem. Fear is useful.
Copy !req
997. We need you back.
Copy !req
998. Greece needs you.
Copy !req
999. Greece got along fine before I was born.
Copy !req
1000. Greece will be Greece long after I'm dead.
Copy !req
1001. I'm not talking about the land.
Copy !req
1002. The men need you.
Copy !req
1003. Stay, Achilles.
Copy !req
1004. You were born for this war.
Copy !req
1005. Things are less simple today.
Copy !req
1006. Women have a way
of complicating things.
Copy !req
1007. Of all the kings of Greece,
I respect you the most.
Copy !req
1008. But in this war, you're a servant.
Copy !req
1009. Sometimes you have to serve
in order to lead.
Copy !req
1010. I hope you understand that one day.
Copy !req
1011. We're going home?
Copy !req
1012. We sail in the morning.
Copy !req
1013. Greeks are being slaughtered.
We can't just sail away.
Copy !req
1014. if it's fighting you still long for,
there will always be another war.
Copy !req
1015. These are our countrymen.
Copy !req
1016. I ate, laughed, mourned with these men
while you hid in your tent.
Copy !req
1017. You betray all of Greece
just to see Agamemnon fall.
Copy !req
1018. Someone has to lose.
Copy !req
1019. In all my years to come,
may my heart never turn as black as yours!
Copy !req
1020. We sail in the morning!
Copy !req
1021. The omens are gathering.
Copy !req
1022. The directive is clear.
Copy !req
1023. Fight for your country,
that's the only directive.
Copy !req
1024. Last time the high priest spoke to us,
he prophesied a great victory for Troy.
Copy !req
1025. We won a great victory. Let him speak.
Copy !req
1026. What course of action
do you recommend?
Copy !req
1027. The gods favor our cause.
Copy !req
1028. Now is the time to destroy
the Greek army.
Copy !req
1029. GIaucus?
Copy !req
1030. Their morale is battered.
Copy !req
1031. Hit them now. Hit them hard.
Copy !req
1032. And they will run.
Copy !req
1033. I must admit,
I overestimated the Greeks.
Copy !req
1034. They Iack discipline and courage.
Copy !req
1035. The Myrmidons didn't fight yesterday. There
must be dissension among the Greeks.
Copy !req
1036. But if we attack their ships,
we will unify them.
Copy !req
1037. if they decide to attack us, let them.
Copy !req
1038. Our walls can't be breached.
We'll beat them back again.
Copy !req
1039. Yesterday, the Greeks underestimated us.
Copy !req
1040. We should not return the favor.
Copy !req
1041. You're confident about the meaning
of these omens?
Copy !req
1042. The desecration of his temple
angers Apollo.
Copy !req
1043. The gods have cursed the Greeks.
Copy !req
1044. Two of their kings
have already gone down to the dust.
Copy !req
1045. Prepare the army. We attack at daybreak.
Copy !req
1046. Father.
Copy !req
1047. We're making a mistake.
Copy !req
1048. Prepare the army.
Copy !req
1049. Come on.
Copy !req
1050. Am I still your captive?
Copy !req
1051. You're my guest.
Copy !req
1052. In Troy, guests can leave
whenever they want.
Copy !req
1053. You should leave, then.
Copy !req
1054. Would you leave this all behind?
Copy !req
1055. Would you leave Troy?
Copy !req
1056. Hold those barricades!
Copy !req
1057. Archers to the rear.
Copy !req
1058. Achilles.
Copy !req
1059. Achilles.
Copy !req
1060. Now!
Copy !req
1061. Forward!
Copy !req
1062. Enough for one day.
Copy !req
1063. Yes.
Copy !req
1064. Back to the ships!
Copy !req
1065. Back to the ships!
Copy !req
1066. It was his cousin.
Copy !req
1067. To Troy!
Copy !req
1068. Back to the city!
Copy !req
1069. To Troy!
Copy !req
1070. We were going to sail home today.
Copy !req
1071. I don't think anyone's sailing home now.
Copy !req
1072. Achilles.
Copy !req
1073. You violated my command.
Copy !req
1074. No, my Iord. There was a mistake.
Copy !req
1075. I ordered the Myrmidons to stand down.
Copy !req
1076. You led them into combat.
Copy !req
1077. I didn't lead them, my Iord.
We thought you did.
Copy !req
1078. Where's Patroclus?
Copy !req
1079. Patroclus!
Copy !req
1080. We thought he was you, my Iord.
Copy !req
1081. He wore your armor, your shield,
your greaves, your helmet.
Copy !req
1082. He even moved like you.
Copy !req
1083. Where is he?
Copy !req
1084. - Where?
- He's dead, my lord.
Copy !req
1085. Hector cut his throat.
Copy !req
1086. Don't. Don't.
Copy !req
1087. Where are you taking me?
Copy !req
1088. Do you remember how to get here?
Copy !req
1089. Yes.
Copy !req
1090. The next time you come here,
follow the tunnel.
Copy !req
1091. There are no turns, so you can't get lost.
Just keep walking.
Copy !req
1092. Why?
Copy !req
1093. When you get to the end,
you'll be by the river.
Copy !req
1094. Follow the river until you get
to Mount lda.
Copy !req
1095. The Greeks won't go that far inland.
Copy !req
1096. Hector.
Copy !req
1097. Why are you telling me this?
Copy !req
1098. - if I die—
- No.
Copy !req
1099. if I die, I don't know how long
the city will stand.
Copy !req
1100. Don't say that.
Copy !req
1101. if the Greeks get inside the walls,
it's over.
Copy !req
1102. They'll kill all the men, throw
the babies from the city walls.
Copy !req
1103. - Please.
- The women, they'll take as slaves.
Copy !req
1104. That, for you, will be worse than dying.
Copy !req
1105. Why are you saying such things?
Copy !req
1106. Because I want you to be ready.
Copy !req
1107. I want you to get our boy,
and I want you to bring him here.
Copy !req
1108. You save as many people as you can,
but you get here. And you run.
Copy !req
1109. Do you understand?
Copy !req
1110. I killed a boy today.
Copy !req
1111. And he was young.
Copy !req
1112. He was much too young.
Copy !req
1113. That boy has just saved this war for us.
Copy !req
1114. - Eudorus.
- My lord.
Copy !req
1115. I need my armor.
Copy !req
1116. No.
Copy !req
1117. Don't go!
Copy !req
1118. Rope!
Copy !req
1119. Hector's my cousin. He's a good man.
Copy !req
1120. Don't fight him. Please don't fight him.
Copy !req
1121. Please.
Copy !req
1122. No.
Copy !req
1123. Hector!
Copy !req
1124. Hector!
Copy !req
1125. Hector!
Copy !req
1126. Hector!
Copy !req
1127. Father...
Copy !req
1128. forgive me for any offenses.
Copy !req
1129. I've served you as best as I could.
Copy !req
1130. Hector!
Copy !req
1131. May the gods be with you.
Copy !req
1132. Hector.
Copy !req
1133. No father ever had a better son.
Copy !req
1134. Hector!
Copy !req
1135. Apollo guard you, my prince.
Copy !req
1136. You're the best man I know.
Copy !req
1137. You're a prince of Troy.
Copy !req
1138. I know you'll make me proud.
Copy !req
1139. Hector!
Copy !req
1140. Remember what I told you.
Copy !req
1141. You don't have to go. You don't.
Copy !req
1142. You remember what I told you.
Copy !req
1143. Hector!
Copy !req
1144. Hector!
Copy !req
1145. I've seen this moment in my dreams.
Copy !req
1146. I'll make a pact with you.
Copy !req
1147. With the gods as our witnesses...
Copy !req
1148. let us pledge that the winner will allow
the loser all the proper funeral rituals.
Copy !req
1149. There are no pacts
between lions and men.
Copy !req
1150. Now you know who you're fighting.
Copy !req
1151. I thought it was you
I was fighting yesterday.
Copy !req
1152. And I wish it had been you. But I gave
the dead boy the honor he deserved.
Copy !req
1153. You gave him the honor of your sword.
Copy !req
1154. You won't have eyes tonight.
You won't have ears or a tongue.
Copy !req
1155. You'll wander the underworld, blind, deaf,
and dumb, and all the dead will know:
Copy !req
1156. This is Hector, the fool who thought
he killed Achilles.
Copy !req
1157. Get up, prince of Troy.
Copy !req
1158. Get up. I won't let a stone take my glory.
Copy !req
1159. You lost your cousin.
Copy !req
1160. Now you've taken mine.
Copy !req
1161. When does it end?
Copy !req
1162. It never ends.
Copy !req
1163. Who are you?
Copy !req
1164. I have endured what no one
on earth has endured before.
Copy !req
1165. I kissed the hands of the man
who killed my son.
Copy !req
1166. Priam?
Copy !req
1167. How did you get in here?
Copy !req
1168. I know my own country better
than the Greeks, I think.
Copy !req
1169. You're a brave man.
Copy !req
1170. I could have your head on a spit
in the blink of an eye.
Copy !req
1171. Do you really think death
frightens me now?
Copy !req
1172. I watched my eldest son die...
Copy !req
1173. watched you drag his body
behind your chariot.
Copy !req
1174. Give him back to me.
Copy !req
1175. He deserves the honor of a proper burial.
You know that.
Copy !req
1176. Give him to me.
Copy !req
1177. He killed my cousin.
Copy !req
1178. He thought it was you.
Copy !req
1179. How many cousins have you killed?
Copy !req
1180. How many sons and fathers
and brothers and husbands?
Copy !req
1181. How many, brave Achilles?
Copy !req
1182. I knew your father.
Copy !req
1183. He died before his time.
Copy !req
1184. But he was Iucky not to Iive long enough
to see his son fall.
Copy !req
1185. You have taken everything from me.
Copy !req
1186. My eldest son...
Copy !req
1187. heir to my throne...
Copy !req
1188. defender of my kingdom.
Copy !req
1189. I cannot change what happened.
It is the will of the gods.
Copy !req
1190. But give me this small mercy.
Copy !req
1191. I Ioved my boy from the moment
he opened his eyes...
Copy !req
1192. till the moment you closed them.
Copy !req
1193. Let me wash his body.
Copy !req
1194. Let me say the prayers.
Copy !req
1195. Let me place two coins on his eyes
for the boatman.
Copy !req
1196. if I let you walk out of here...
Copy !req
1197. if I let you take him...
Copy !req
1198. it doesn't change anything.
Copy !req
1199. You're still my enemy in the morning.
Copy !req
1200. You're still my enemy tonight.
Copy !req
1201. But even enemies can show respect.
Copy !req
1202. I admire your courage.
Copy !req
1203. Meet me outside in a moment.
Copy !req
1204. We'll meet again soon, my brother.
Copy !req
1205. Your son was the best I've fought.
Copy !req
1206. In my country, the funeral games
last for 12 days.
Copy !req
1207. It is the same in my country.
Copy !req
1208. Then the prince will have that honor.
Copy !req
1209. No Greek will attack Troy for 12 days.
Copy !req
1210. Briseis?
Copy !req
1211. I thought you were dead.
Copy !req
1212. You are free.
Copy !req
1213. if I hurt you...
Copy !req
1214. it's not what I wanted.
Copy !req
1215. Go.
Copy !req
1216. No one will stop you. You have my word.
Copy !req
1217. Come, my girl.
Copy !req
1218. You're a far better king than the one
leading this army.
Copy !req
1219. Achilles makes a secret pact, and l
have to honor it? What treason is this?
Copy !req
1220. Consorting with the enemy king.
Giving him 12 days of peace.
Copy !req
1221. Peace! Peace!
Copy !req
1222. Their prince is dead.
Their army is leaderless.
Copy !req
1223. This is the time to attack!
Copy !req
1224. Even with Hector gone, we have
no way to breach their walls.
Copy !req
1225. They can wait 10 years for us to leave.
Copy !req
1226. I will smash their walls to the ground...
Copy !req
1227. if it costs me 40,000 Greeks.
Copy !req
1228. Hear me, Zeus!
Copy !req
1229. I will smash their walls to the ground.
Copy !req
1230. That's good.
Copy !req
1231. For my son back home.
Copy !req
1232. Well, Odysseus.
Copy !req
1233. You found a way to make the sheep
invite the wolves to dinner.
Copy !req
1234. Forgive me, Eudorus.
I should never have struck you.
Copy !req
1235. You've been a loyal friend all your life.
Copy !req
1236. I hope I never disappoint you again.
Copy !req
1237. It's I who have been the disappointment.
Copy !req
1238. Rouse the men. You're taking them home.
Copy !req
1239. Aren't you coming with us?
Copy !req
1240. I have my own battle to fight.
Copy !req
1241. Let me march beside you.
Copy !req
1242. No. I don't want our men
to be a part of this.
Copy !req
1243. It's a beautiful night.
Copy !req
1244. Go, Eudorus.
This is the last order I give you.
Copy !req
1245. Fighting for you has been
my life's honor, my lord.
Copy !req
1246. Open the gates!
Open the gates!
Copy !req
1247. Here.
Copy !req
1248. PIague.
Copy !req
1249. Don't go too close, my king.
Copy !req
1250. This is the will of the gods.
Copy !req
1251. They desecrated the temple of Apollo...
Copy !req
1252. and Apollo desecrated their flesh.
Copy !req
1253. They thought they could come here
and sack our city in a day.
Copy !req
1254. Now look at them,
fleeing across the Aegean.
Copy !req
1255. What is this?
Copy !req
1256. An offering to Poseidon. The Greeks
are praying for a safe return home.
Copy !req
1257. I hope the sea god spits in their offering.
Copy !req
1258. Lets them all drown
at the bottom of the sea.
Copy !req
1259. This is a gift. We should take it
to the temple of Poseidon.
Copy !req
1260. - I think we should burn it.
- Burn it?
Copy !req
1261. My prince, it's a gift to the gods.
Copy !req
1262. The prince is right.
Copy !req
1263. I would burn the whole of Greece
if I had a big enough torch.
Copy !req
1264. I warn you, good men,
be careful what you insult.
Copy !req
1265. Our beloved Prince Hector
had sharp words for the gods...
Copy !req
1266. and a day Iater
Achilles' sword cut him down.
Copy !req
1267. Father, burn it.
Copy !req
1268. Forgive me, my king,
I mean no disrespect...
Copy !req
1269. but I don't want to see
any more sons of Troy...
Copy !req
1270. incur the gods' wrath.
Copy !req
1271. I will not watch another son die.
Copy !req
1272. Look at them.
Copy !req
1273. You'd think their prince had never died.
Copy !req
1274. You are their prince now.
Copy !req
1275. Make your brother proud.
Copy !req
1276. Let it burn! Let Troy burn!
Copy !req
1277. Burn it! For Menelaus! Burn it!
Copy !req
1278. Burn Troy! Burn Troy!
Copy !req
1279. I promised you, brother!
I promised you!
Copy !req
1280. Burn it! Burn it for Menelaus!
Copy !req
1281. Briseis. Where is she?
Copy !req
1282. - Where?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1283. Please. I have a son.
Copy !req
1284. Then get him out of Troy.
Copy !req
1285. Briseis!
Copy !req
1286. Paris! Andromache!
Copy !req
1287. Helen. We must go.
Copy !req
1288. - Where?
- I'll show you. Now. Hurry.
Copy !req
1289. Paris. Paris.
Copy !req
1290. It's a long way. Quick. We must go now.
Copy !req
1291. Briseis!
Copy !req
1292. Paris!
Copy !req
1293. It's a long way. Quick.
Copy !req
1294. Hurry. There's a tunnel.
Copy !req
1295. - Come.
- I stay.
Copy !req
1296. - No.
- My father will never abandon the city.
Copy !req
1297. I can't leave him.
Copy !req
1298. The city is dead.
They're burning it to the ground.
Copy !req
1299. - What's your name?
- Aeneas.
Copy !req
1300. - Do you know how to use a sword?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1301. The sword of Troy.
Copy !req
1302. As long as it's in the hands of a Trojan,
our people have a future.
Copy !req
1303. Protect them, Aeneas.
Find them a new home.
Copy !req
1304. - I will.
- Hurry. Quick.
Copy !req
1305. Paris, Paris, Briseis wasn't in her room.
Copy !req
1306. I'll find her.
Copy !req
1307. Go.
Copy !req
1308. - I'll stay with you.
- Go.
Copy !req
1309. Please don't leave me.
Copy !req
1310. - How could you love me if I ran now?
- Please.
Copy !req
1311. We will be together again, in this world
or the next. We will be together.
Copy !req
1312. Go.
Copy !req
1313. To the gate!
Copy !req
1314. Forward!
Copy !req
1315. Follow me!
Copy !req
1316. lnto line!
Copy !req
1317. Soldiers of Troy...
Copy !req
1318. you men are warriors!
Copy !req
1319. To lead you has been my honor!
Copy !req
1320. My prince!
Copy !req
1321. The boatman waits for us.
Copy !req
1322. I say we make him wait a little longer!
Copy !req
1323. No one. Spare no one.
Copy !req
1324. Paris!
Copy !req
1325. Save yourself.
Copy !req
1326. Briseis!
Copy !req
1327. Beware, my friends.
I am a servant of the gods.
Copy !req
1328. Have you no honor?
Copy !req
1329. Have you no honor?
Copy !req
1330. I wanted you alive, old man.
Copy !req
1331. I wanted you to watch your city burn.
Copy !req
1332. Please.
Copy !req
1333. The children.
Copy !req
1334. Spare the innocents.
Copy !req
1335. Nobody's innocent.
Copy !req
1336. Nobody.
Copy !req
1337. Too late for prayer, priestess.
Copy !req
1338. I almost lost this war
because of your little romance.
Copy !req
1339. I want to taste what Achilles tasted.
Copy !req
1340. You'll be my slave in Mycenae.
Copy !req
1341. A Trojan priestess scrubbing my floors.
Copy !req
1342. And at night...
Copy !req
1343. Get up!
Copy !req
1344. Hold her.
Copy !req
1345. Come with me.
Copy !req
1346. No!
Copy !req
1347. Paris!
Copy !req
1348. No!
Copy !req
1349. Don't!
Copy !req
1350. Don't! Please!
Copy !req
1351. Paris! Don't!
Copy !req
1352. It's all right.
Copy !req
1353. It's all right.
Copy !req
1354. You gave me peace...
Copy !req
1355. in a Iifetime of war.
Copy !req
1356. Briseis, come.
Copy !req
1357. - Go.
- No.
Copy !req
1358. You must.
Copy !req
1359. No.
Copy !req
1360. Troy is falling.
Copy !req
1361. - Go.
- No.
Copy !req
1362. Begin anew.
Copy !req
1363. We must go. I know a way out.
Copy !req
1364. It's all right.
Copy !req
1365. Go.
Copy !req
1366. Go.
Copy !req
1367. Find peace...
Copy !req
1368. my brother.
Copy !req
1369. If they ever tell my story, let them say...
Copy !req
1370. I walked with giants.
Copy !req
1371. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat...
Copy !req
1372. but these names will never die.
Copy !req
1373. Let them say I lived
in the time of Hector...
Copy !req
1374. breaker of horses.
Copy !req
1375. Let them say...
Copy !req
1376. I lived in the time of Achilles.
Copy !req
