[man imitating chicken]

It's strange.

I--I feel kind of good now.

The struggle is over.

Ha ha ha...

Ah, we've seen it

through together, eh?

Let's get home.

We've a lot to do.

Tonight...

peace at last.

I don't feel so good

about it now.

You don't have to do it.

If I don't, they will.

He made that clear.

They need a sacrifice,

and I'm it.

[laughing]

Why is he always laughing?

What's he got to be happy about?

Why is everybody so happy?

'Cause they're not me,

that's why.

Let's go home.

No.

No, I can't.

[laughter]

We'll do it

with a knife, Hector,

when everyone has gone to bed.

The two of us...

to the end.

I don't understand.

What can I do?

I couldn't help you die.

We'll help each other.

We must.

We've been through

this whole mess together.

You don't understand, do you?

I'm asking you to die with me.

You're my closest,

my dearest slave.

What would they say about me

if you refuse to die with me?

You keep saying "we".

Why we?

Wh-what have I done?

I've done nothing.

I--I know nothing...

At Cyprian's this morning,

I had to sign certain papers,

tell a bit of a story.

What kind of story?

A confession.

That we were plotting against

Cyprian and the provincial senate

and were short of names.

Most of the people I know

were in the room,

people I thought were my friends.

So I mentioned you.

And what did I do?

You stole money from Cyprian

to bribe and corrupt

members of the senate.

You're a rebel against the state--

nasty piece of work.

Can I sit down?

Of course.

Do you think we go

anywhere else when we die?

I don't know.

They say so.

I hope not.

I just... want it to stop.

Just stop.

If I die a slave,

will I be a slave forever?

I would think so, wouldn't you?

I'm sorry, Hector.

But I would be honored...

if you would die with me.

Father, can I talk to you?

Not now.

I want to tell you

about the world.

You can tell me... later.

Thanks, Hector.

If he eats the grain,

it means yes.

He's eating.

He's saying yes.

Yes, we should die.

You asked if we had to die

or if there's another way.

It's saying,

"yes, there's another way".

No, it's saying,

"yes, we should die".

What?

Get the knife.

We'll do it the other way.

Solus, I'm eating chicken again.

I ate chicken yesterday

and the day before that.

Will I be eating chicken

again tomorrow?

Why am I always eating chicken?

That's what we have

in the kitchen.

The chickens have just

been turning up.

Two men have come to see you...

from Cyprian.

Good evening, Lucinnius.

Cyprian sent us to ask if we

could be of any assistance

in the business you have

to conduct tonight,

to make that business as

comfortable as you would wish.
