Is it the gods' will
that Cyprian...
be well-disposed towards me...
in the future?
Doing it again
means another chicken...
and another 15 sesterces.
I'll have my first 15 now, please.
And, uh, that's 2 for the chicken.
It was our chicken.
Oh, yes. Of course. Sorry.
It's all right.
Cyprian loaned me half a
million to fit out these ships.
I'm finished.
Just when things were going well.
I had plans for you, too, Hector.
In four or five years,
I was going to make you free.
You could've found your
family, brought them here,
everything.
Sounds good.
It does, doesn't it?
I shouldn't give up.
I can't.
I'll visit Cyprian...
first thing tomorrow
before the others get to him.
He's got to see reason.
I can pay him back...
sometime.
It's the only chance
we have, Hector.
Should I do it?
You must.
You're right.
I must.
Thalia,
I think I need one
of your massages.
Hector, you can finish the lamps.
Lower, Thalia.
Ahh...
lower.
Ahh...
[snoring]
[thunder]
Why does the thunder
always stay out at sea?
It thundered like that before
the earthquake, remember?
If he goes down, I'm
asking for my freedom.
He owes it to me.
And yours, too. We'd be free.
Then what?
What do you mean?
What we talk about.
Yours is that way...
mine is that way.
Your family's that way.
I made that up.
I don't know where they are.
We can't talk about families anymore.
It's been too long.
It's what you talk--
We talk about it
because it can never happen.
It's just you and me now.
Save your breath for
blowing in my ear.
I think you'll leave.
You are going to leave me here.
Shh.
And, every morning,
the man awoke into the only world
he would ever know.
I can't sleep.
Get me a chicken.
I want to make another sacrifice.
We'll do it ourselves.
[rooster crows]
We'll be first, Hector.
Definitely.
No one else will be there.
Not this early.
Were they friends?
Well, they were
as close to friends
as a master
and a slave can be.
I'm Cyprian--
I mean, Lucinnius.
I've come to see Cyprian.
Do you have a gift?
A gift? No.
Join the line on the left.
Thank you.
Leave the stool.
And as his master
went in to meet
the master of his fate,
the slave was free,
free to feel the sun
on his back
and squat in the dirt
amongst the litter carriers
and chicken imitators.
Cock-a-doodle-dooo...
Bawk bawk bawk bawk...
You seem much happier.
Relieved, anyway.
Relieved that it's over at last.
So...
He's going to help you?
I have to kill myself
by tomorrow morning.
He has my letters to Titanius.
None got through.
He says it's treason.
He says I should want to die.
I'm done for, Hector.
