The Last Legion Page #3

We rule?

Take care, Wulfila.

Sometimes your tongue

runs ahead of your brain.

What do you say, boy?

Should I be afraid of you?

Why is Caesar treated so?

Why is Caesar treated so...

Perhaps Wulfila's right.

Perhaps I should end

this here, right now.

Can you see yourself?

Can you see your face?

What do you see?

Do you see a boy?

Or do you see a Caesar?

I see...

Tell me.

I see a Caesar.

I am Caesar.

Wrong answer.

Take him away. Cut his head off.

AMBROSINUS:
That will be a

grave error, Lord Odoacer.

ODOACER:
Who are you?

You kill the boy, you

make a martyr of him,

And Caesar's ghost will

haunt you ever after.

Is that so?

- Read the signs.

- What signs?

An omen.

Do not mistake it, Odoacer.

(Caws)

If you hear one thing, then hear this.

What now happens in this room

will echo across an empire.

A city may be won by blood.

(Caws)

It takes a man of vision to rule.

All empires are built on blood.

People will judge you.

The people will thank the

gods that they survived

And serve their new master.

Now, I asked. Who are you?

Will they respect a leader

who's so afraid of a Roman child

He had to butcher him?

Perhaps the boy is more

use to us alive than dead.

Do you want to look a

fool? Kill them both!

Fool!

Your best hope for the future,

Lord Wulfila, lies in silence!

Give me your hand.

(Groans)

Now, I ask, who are you?

I'm known by many names.

Like a thief.

Here I'm called Ambrosinus.

The boy will be taken to

the island fortress at Capri.

You--You will be

his prison guard.

That's your reward.

No harm comes to him unless I say so.

Not a hair on his

head, you understand me?

And take this one, too.

I don't trust him.

Someone's here.

Where?

Please.

Wait, Aurelius, I know this man.

He speaks for the Eastern Empire.

Is the boy alive?

I saw him in chains.

They're taking him to Capri.

I'll find him, bring him back.

From Capri? That's impossible.

- It's an island, a natural fortress.

- I'll need my men.

We've long been allies, Senator.

Free your Caesar.

My emperor will give him sanctuary until

it is safe for him to return to Rome.

We meet at Fano in

six days, on the beach.

If you bring back the boy,

there'll be a boat to take us east.

Six days, then.

- To the last breath.

- To the last breath.

What's this?

One of the ambassador's guards.

You'll need help to free your men.

These people are our allies. Use them.

(Sighs)

Follow me.

Act as my prisoner. When I

give the signal, try to escape.

You understand what I've told you, yes?

Then do as I've said and nothing more.

(Demetrius groaning)

Uhn!

(Spits)

Him first.

- Stop!

- (Horse neighs)

Another prisoner.

I'm to take this one's
