VATRENUS:
Open the gate.AMBROSINUS:
And thisis also Caesar's will?
VATRENUS:
You've been well rewarded.Go back where you came from.
ideas into a young head,
Teaching a lad to think for himself.
This lad is our emperor.
Which do you serve:
Caesar or your own ideas?
"A wise man never asks
what another man serves...
...for only his actions
will speak the true answer. "
You've read your Seneca.
I find poets as
dangerous as philosophers.
And you...
Where did you get this?
AMBROSINUS:
A long time ago...In another land.
(Screams)
...from a man who loved only power.
So you're an adventurer, as well.
If I see you again in Rome,
it'll be on the point of my sword.
Take care in the mist, Commander.
It may hide what the gods
themselves dare not look upon.
NESTOR:
but who will guardthe guardians themselves?
Nestor?
Leave us.
A senator.
Well, these sit better
on me than armor ever did.
How is it with you, Aurelius?
Oh, a little older... no wiser.
After all these years?
Did you ever marry, have children?
No.
So what do you make of Rome?
Different.
Uneasy.
If you're to guard our new
Caesar, keep your wits about you.
And come see me. Friends are
I will.
GUARD:
The Goths! They've betrayed us!(Shouting, swords clashing)
(Catapult rumbling)
GUARD:
You! To the wall!Commander!
Prepare to fire!
Aurelius!
Down!
Defend the Emperor!
Get back, behind! Go! Go!
Form wall!
MAN:
Over this way!Get back, boy!
Yah!
(Yells)
Ugh!
Father!
Odoacer wants the boy alive!
I'll do my best.
(Squelches)
Save yourself.
Yah.
(Horse whinnies)
Aah!
(Hooves pounding)
(Flies buzzing, fires crackling)
King, the emissary from Constantinople.
ODOACER:
Welcome, Excellency.The city is ours.
I ask that your empire recognize me
As the sole ruler of Rome
and all her dominions.
My emperor is in Constantinople.
I am his eyes and his ears,
But I cannot speak on his behalf.
Then go and seek his word.
Master!
Aurelius! Fetch water.
The boy, Caesar--
Is he alive?
I couldn't find him.
killed, as were my men.
How did this happen?
Some of your men
survived, that I do know.
Vatrenus was taken prisoner.
There may be others with him, but...
They're to be executed as an example
To those who would
stand against Odoacer.
(Chains rattling)
Come to me.
Is it for you that so
many people have died?
Such an innocent face.
The blood of the Caesars
flows in his veins.
Old Wulfila here thinks
that I should fear you.
Is this true?
He is the last of the
bloodline. End it now!
Old Rome will die, and we rule!
We?
