Revolt of the Praetorians Page #3

Synopsis: Rome chafes under the rule of the Emperor Domitian and his Egyptian mistress, Artamne. A mysterious champion arises to fight against the Emperor -- a masked man known as the Red Wolf. In fact, the Red Wolf is Valerius Rufus, one of the Emperor's trusted centurions who's aided by none other than the Emperor's court jester, the diminutive Elpidion. Rebels in league with Valerius kidnap Artamne, planning to exchange her for two of their imprisoned colleagues, but Artamne escapes and soon both Valerius, (now exposed as the Red Wolf), and his fiancee, Lucilla, are sentenced to be immersed in a cauldron of molten lead. Valerius's friends, however, rise up to rescue him and to liberate Rome.

I know them well...

Silvio Rutillus, Flavio Senhori,

Sillio Quintino...

I would not do it, divine.

The walls can hear.

Elpidione is right. If you do it,

you'll increase the ire of the gladiators.

I'll tell Soterus whom he should arrest.

It will be a master play.

This way, without any danger,

we'll have our enemies, in our hands.

You're a genius Artamne.

You have my approval.

As long as, it is done

before dawn.

Now come, I will give

the instructions to Soterus.

Divine Caesar...

would you allow me to go out.

- Where are you going?

- I have a meeting, Divine.

In truth, is a lady that is

in love with me. She's so pretty.

- Go, Elpidione.

- Thank you, Divine.

You know what they say?

Elpidione is great with women.

Elpidione is great with...

Do not make me laugh.

Arrest all people

that Artamne tells you.

Kill them and throw their bodies

to the river. Go!

Tomorrow you'll have no more enemies.

And you'll ever hear about the red wolf.

Eh, eh, do not rush.

Take away the sword!

What do you want?

What do you know?

Do not worry, Centurion.

I won't turn you in.

I hate Domitian as much as you.

I'll help you fight the tyrant.

You want to help, how?

Come on, speak up!

A while ago Domitian ordered Artamne

with Soterus gladiators...

...arrest all patrician suspects.

You there!

- What happened?

- The gladiators arrested the boss.

They came a little ago, by surprise,

and took him and his friends.

The patricians tried to fight back

but were all arrested.

And Lucilla?

She had just left with the other girls

and her mother.

- Did you see where they went?

- They went towards the river.

As Roman citizens,

we have the right to a fair trial!

Traitor! Ask your God, since it's

your last request, before you die!

- Runaway! Run away!

- Arrest him, and catch the patricians!

Damned bastard. Search for him!

Soterus, we caught these two.

Speak up, or I'll make you grow

a few more centimeters!

Well, are you going to tell me,

who is the red wolf?

We'll ready to die,

but you will know nothing.

Keep an eye on them.

You're responsible for their lives.

They still are going to be useful.

When they recover,

give them, two days to speak.

The Divine Caesar Domitian

has declared that, if in two days...

...the red wolf do not turn himself in,

or his identity is revealed...

...the senators Flavius and Rutillus

will be executed in public.

Who reveal...

...the red wolf's identity

or assist in his capture...

...will have a reward

of 10000 sestercios.

By all the gods!

Even if I knew something,

Caesar would never hear it from me.

Finally, someone who scares,

and also challenges him.
