Eng 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

1
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:58,893
The Oracle's words stand as a warning.

2
00:00:59,602 --> 00:01:00,603
A prophecy.

3
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:04,315
Sparta will fall.

4
00:01:04,815 --> 00:01:07,359
All of Greece will fall.

5
00:01:14,366 --> 00:01:17,995
And Persian fire will
reduce Athens to cinder.

6
00:01:18,746 --> 00:01:21,290
For Athens is a pile of stone and wood...

7
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:23,209
and cloth and dust...

8
00:01:23,751 --> 00:01:27,421
and, as dust, will vanish into the wind.

9
00:01:27,755 --> 00:01:30,299
Only the Athenians themselves exist.

10
00:01:30,549 --> 00:01:33,552
And the fate of the world hangs
on their every syllable.

11
00:01:40,476 --> 00:01:41,602
Only the Athenians exist.

12
00:01:43,687 --> 00:01:46,148
And only stout wooden ships can save them.

13
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,568
Wooden ships...

14
00:01:50,152 --> 00:01:52,446
and a tidal wave of heroes' blood.

15
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:04,708
Leonidas, my husband...

16
00:02:05,417 --> 00:02:06,961
Leonidas, your king...

17
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:12,299
Leonidas and the brave 300 are dead.

18
00:02:13,592 --> 00:02:15,219
The free men and women of Greece...

19
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:18,222
are not bound by
a beautiful Spartan death.

20
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:20,599
War is not their love.

21
00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:23,185
Yet he lay down his life for them.

22
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:25,396
For the promise Greece holds.

23
00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:32,153
'Tis our enemies who forged our freedom
in the fires of war.

24
00:02:33,279 --> 00:02:36,365
It was King Darius
who came to take our land.

25
00:02:37,449 --> 00:02:40,744
Ten years ago,
when youth still burned in our eyes...

26
00:02:41,078 --> 00:02:44,790
before this bitter war forced
our children to become men.

27
00:02:46,417 --> 00:02:50,337
Ten years ago, this war began...

28
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:52,590
as all wars begin:

29
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:55,217
With a grievance.

30
00:02:58,220 --> 00:02:59,722
Marathon.

31
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:02,975
The Persian king, Darius...

32
00:03:03,475 --> 00:03:05,895
annoyed by the notion
of Greek freedom...

33
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:09,064
has come to Greece to bring us to heel.

34
00:03:11,609 --> 00:03:13,694
He makes landfall at the
field of Marathon...

35
00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:16,363
with an invading force
which outnumbers...

36
00:03:16,614 --> 00:03:18,574
the Greek defenders three-to-one.

37
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:21,952
And so at dawn, the hopeless Athenians
do the unthinkable.

38
00:03:22,745 --> 00:03:24,246
They attack.

39
00:03:24,496 --> 00:03:26,874
They attack the weary Persians
as they disembark...

40
00:03:27,124 --> 00:03:30,586
their ships
on shaky legs after a month at sea.

41
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:34,048
They attack before they can
establish their war camp...

42
00:03:34,298 --> 00:03:35,758
and supply their soldiers.

43
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:37,760
And who...

44
00:03:38,010 --> 00:03:40,387
is the architect of this mad strategy?

45
00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:42,053
A little-known Athenian...

46
00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:43,724
soldier.

47
00:03:44,642 --> 00:03:46,227
His men call him...

48
00:03:46,477 --> 00:03:48,270
Themistokles.

49
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,107
He gives the Persians a taste
of Athenian shock combat.

50
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:16,168
All thoughts of glory are gone.

51
00:06:17,753 --> 00:06:18,753
Thousands dead.

52
00:06:19,421 --> 00:06:20,964
Hundreds of them their own.

53
00:06:23,884 --> 00:06:27,304
A free Greece...

54
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:30,474
<i>an Athenian experiment
called "democracy. "</i>

55
00:06:34,103 --> 00:06:35,396
Could this idea be worth it?

56
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:39,316
Worth all this sacrifice?

57
00:06:41,402 --> 00:06:43,737
Themistokles would let
the good King Darius decide.

58
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:48,659
For through the chaos...

59
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:50,452
a moment appeared.

60
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:55,666
And Themistokles would seize it.

61
00:07:06,885 --> 00:07:07,928
A moment...

62
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:09,972
that would ring across the centuries.

63
00:07:10,222 --> 00:07:11,223
A moment that would...

64
00:07:11,473 --> 00:07:13,225
raise him from simple soldier...

65
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:15,644
to the height of
Athenian political power.

66
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:18,439
No!

67
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:24,278
A moment that would make
Themistokles a legend.

68
00:07:43,046 --> 00:07:44,673
Yet even as the praise and glory...

69
00:07:44,923 --> 00:07:46,758
were heaped upon him...

70
00:07:47,009 --> 00:07:49,928
Themistokles knew in his heart
he had made a mistake.

71
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,807
It was Darius' son, Xerxes...

72
00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:56,477
whose eyes had the stink
of destiny about them.

73
00:07:58,562 --> 00:08:01,064
Themistokles knew
he should have killed that boy.

74
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:06,028
That glorious mistake
would forever haunt him.

75
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:14,036
And so it was Themistokles himself...

76
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:17,372
who sent a ripple
across the Persian empire...

77
00:08:17,623 --> 00:08:19,333
and set into motion...

78
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:22,294
forces that would bring fire
to the heart of Greece.

79
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,924
For as the good king lay dying...

80
00:08:27,174 --> 00:08:28,634
all his greatest generals...

81
00:08:28,884 --> 00:08:31,887
and advisors
were summoned to his bedside.

82
00:08:32,221 --> 00:08:33,388
None greater...

83
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:37,351
than his finest
naval commander, Artemisia.

84
00:08:37,768 --> 00:08:40,437
Her ferocity bested only by her beauty.

85
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,941
Her beauty matched only
by her devotion to her king.

86
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:52,324
Darius favored Arfemisia
among his generals...

87
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:55,494
for she had brought him victory
on the battlefield.

88
00:08:56,119 --> 00:08:57,287
In her...

89
00:08:57,538 --> 00:09:00,457
he had the perfect warrior protegee...

90
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:02,626
that his son, Xerxes, would never be.

91
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:10,217
So sweet, my child.

92
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:13,011
My sweet...

93
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:15,389
child.

94
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:25,274
Father.

95
00:09:25,983 --> 00:09:27,526
Xerxes.

96
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:31,405
Do not repeat your father's mistake.

97
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:36,410
Leave the ignoble Greeks to their ways.

98
00:09:37,536 --> 00:09:40,664
Only the gods can defeat them.

99
00:09:41,582 --> 00:09:44,668
Only the gods.

100
00:09:56,722 --> 00:09:58,765
For seven days, Xerxes mourned...

101
00:09:59,016 --> 00:10:01,101
paralyzed by grief.

102
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:04,688
On the eighth day, Artemisia
whispered the seed of madness...

103
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:06,690
that would consume him.

104
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:10,694
Your father's words were not a warning...

105
00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:13,113
but a challenge.

106
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:17,534
Only the gods can defeat the Greeks?

107
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,124
You will be a god-king.

108
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,756
Artemisia gathered the priests, wizards...

109
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:34,092
and mystics
from every corner of the empire.

110
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:35,636
They wrapped”

111
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:39,264
the young king in Cimmerian gauze
dipped in ancient potions...

112
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:42,059
and set him to wander the desert...

113
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:46,521
till in a delirium of heat and thirst,
he stumbled upon...

114
00:10:46,772 --> 00:10:48,148
<i>a hermit's cave.</i>

115
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:54,655
Xerxes passed the vacant eyes...

116
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:56,323
and empty souls...

117
00:10:56,573 --> 00:11:00,577
of the hollow creatures that dwell
in the dark corners of all men's hearts.

118
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:05,290
And in that darkness...

119
00:11:06,625 --> 00:11:08,460
he surrendered himself completely...

120
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:11,755
to power so evil and perverse...

121
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:17,094
that, as he emerged...

122
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:20,681
no part of a human man
that was Xerxes survived.

123
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:32,526
His eyes blazed like scarlet coals.

124
00:11:34,403 --> 00:11:38,323
He was stripped, cleansed, glabrous...

125
00:11:38,573 --> 00:11:40,075
and smooth.

126
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:43,245
Xerxes was reborn...

127
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:44,955
a god.

128
00:11:50,293 --> 00:11:52,462
Artemisia trusted no one.

129
00:11:53,171 --> 00:11:55,048
So in the cover of night...

130
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:59,052
the palace was cleansed
of all Xerxes' allies.

131
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:04,099
All those he trusted...

132
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:11,022
all those who had raised him...

133
00:12:15,819 --> 00:12:18,155
all those he had
once looked to for counsel...

134
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:22,743
were quickly introduced to her wrath.

135
00:12:48,477 --> 00:12:49,978
And as the god-king stood...

136
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:51,897
before his people...

137
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:55,901
Anemisia watched her flawless
manipulation take shape.

138
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:58,904
- For glory's sake...
- For glory's sake...

139
00:12:59,154 --> 00:13:01,740
- ...for vengeance's sake...
- ...for vengeance's sake...

140
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:05,285
war.

141
00:13:05,869 --> 00:13:07,287
War!

142
00:13:10,081 --> 00:13:12,626
War is coming to Greece...

143
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:16,379
in the visage of a monster army
over a million strong.

144
00:13:17,255 --> 00:13:20,467
It should be little more than a formality
for Themistokles...

145
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:22,385
the hero of Marathon...

146
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:24,596
to finish what he began.

147
00:13:25,889 --> 00:13:29,434
Please! We must appeal to Xerxes' reason!

148
00:13:29,684 --> 00:13:30,727
Coward!

149
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:33,230
Athens is a city of cowards!

150
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,022
Shut your cock hole!

151
00:13:34,272 --> 00:13:35,357
Shut your own!

152
00:13:35,607 --> 00:13:37,567
I'll kill you! Fuck the Spartans!

153
00:13:37,818 --> 00:13:39,444
Fuck those muscle-bound boy-lovers!

154
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:40,403
Silence!

155
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:42,197
Silence for the hero of Marathon!

156
00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,950
This is a democracy, not a street fight.

157
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,993
Quiet! It's Themistokles.

158
00:13:47,244 --> 00:13:50,831
The Persian attack will come
from both the north and the south.

159
00:13:51,081 --> 00:13:53,667
The city-states should negotiate a truce.

160
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:56,294
Yes, yes, we must negotiate.

161
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:58,880
Negotiate with tyranny?

162
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:02,968
Give me one example of when
that has ever profited a nation.

163
00:14:03,218 --> 00:14:06,054
- You're right. We must unite.
- My fellow countrymen...

164
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:09,432
we can only judge the future...

165
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:12,352
from what we have suffered in the past.

166
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:16,356
Now, many of you here
stood with me at Marathon.

167
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:19,526
And for those of you who served...

168
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:21,903
and faced the cut
and thrust of battle...

169
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:24,698
you know how true peace is forged.

170
00:14:25,615 --> 00:14:27,325
Do not be deceived.

171
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:29,619
Xerxes, the son of Darius...

172
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:31,955
is a wolf at our door.

173
00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:34,916
Right here, right now...

174
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:37,502
we must choose:

175
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,589
Do we stand and fight for Greece or not?

176
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:42,924
Argos...

177
00:14:43,174 --> 00:14:44,342
Corinth...

178
00:14:44,593 --> 00:14:45,760
Megara...

179
00:14:46,011 --> 00:14:47,637
Athens.

180
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:50,348
Not even Sparta
can match the Persians alone.

181
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:52,809
We must persevere as one nation.

182
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:55,312
Or we will perish clinging onto...

183
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:57,230
our own self-interests.

184
00:14:58,356 --> 00:15:01,693
Send us the ships that we need
to defend Greece.

185
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:04,362
Themistokles will need more
than our cities' ships.

186
00:15:04,613 --> 00:15:06,531
He will need our children
to join the fight.

187
00:15:08,658 --> 00:15:10,035
And what of Sparta?

188
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:13,121
You send every ship that we have...

189
00:15:13,371 --> 00:15:15,707
to the northern coast of Euboea.

190
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:20,837
I will go and seek the help
of the great Spartans.

191
00:15:42,484 --> 00:15:43,485
Still no word...

192
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,196
from the messenger
you sent to Sparta.

193
00:15:46,863 --> 00:15:49,991
King Leonidas may have been insulted
by your generous offer.

194
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:54,204
Perhaps I need to march into Sparta myself
and burn it to the ground.

195
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:57,666
Remember...

196
00:15:57,916 --> 00:15:59,626
when a king is loved as I am...

197
00:16:01,086 --> 00:16:03,338
much can be accomplished.

198
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:08,218
They would be fools
to resist my divine power.

199
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:11,262
Athens is attempting to
assemble a coalition.

200
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,974
It'll be nothing more
than a patchwork of ships.

201
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:19,980
Once these waters have been traversed,
I will lead my force across the land.

202
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:22,565
I will remind the cowards of Greece...

203
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:26,236
that we have not
forgotten their insolence.

204
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,956
Rest and water the horses.

205
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:39,624
It's best I go alone.

206
00:16:39,874 --> 00:16:43,294
Spartans don't get along well with others.

207
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,556
- Spartans.
- Themistokles.

208
00:17:37,932 --> 00:17:39,392
You old snake.

209
00:17:39,642 --> 00:17:42,479
- What brings you this far south?
- I've come to see Leonidas.

210
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,648
- To warn him that the Persians are on the march.
- You're too late.

211
00:17:45,899 --> 00:17:49,069
Persian messenger already presented
his terms to Leonidas.

212
00:17:49,819 --> 00:17:52,197
Symbolic offering of earth and water.

213
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:02,207
Spartans!

214
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:03,538
Know this and know it well.

215
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:07,587
That any Spartan's finest moment...

216
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:09,756
the greatest fulfillment...

217
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:11,841
of all he holds dear...

218
00:18:12,092 --> 00:18:13,384
is that moment...

219
00:18:13,635 --> 00:18:15,762
when he has fought his heart out...

220
00:18:16,012 --> 00:18:18,848
for the preservation of Sparta...

221
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:22,435
and lies dead on the battlefield...

222
00:18:22,685 --> 00:18:24,395
victorious.

223
00:18:26,189 --> 00:18:27,440
Now...

224
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:29,984
who is willing to die
at our king's side?

225
00:18:30,235 --> 00:18:31,361
Ah-ooh!

226
00:18:31,611 --> 00:18:33,863
Ah-ooh! Ah-ooh!

227
00:18:34,489 --> 00:18:36,074
Themistokles.

228
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:41,955
You've come a long way to stroke your cock
whilst watching real men train.

229
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:43,248
Queen Gorgo.

230
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:47,377
Shouldn't he be training them
to live at their king's side?

231
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:50,255
A new age is dawning, Gorgo.

232
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:56,094
Won't be long before men rise up
and shed the yoke of mysticism and tyranny.

233
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,805
- That sounds like a threat.
- No.

234
00:18:59,222 --> 00:19:02,892
An opportunity to join the rest of free
Greece and stand against a true tyrant.

235
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:08,148
Unless, of course, you and Leonidas
have already made a deal with Xerxes.

236
00:19:08,398 --> 00:19:10,150
No terms were reached.

237
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:12,610
Xerxes' messenger was...

238
00:19:12,861 --> 00:19:15,321
Well, he was rude and he lacked respect.

239
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:19,576
He didn't understand the same threats made
in Thebes and Athens would not work here.

240
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:23,663
This is the birthplace
of the world's greatest warriors.

241
00:19:24,956 --> 00:19:28,751
Men whose king would stand
and fight and die for any one of them.

242
00:19:29,794 --> 00:19:31,004
Xerxes' messenger...

243
00:19:31,254 --> 00:19:34,465
did not understand
this is no typical Greek city-state.

244
00:19:37,552 --> 00:19:39,387
This is Sparta.

245
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:43,641
It was clear to the messenger
there'd be no Spartan submission?

246
00:19:43,892 --> 00:19:44,934
It was clear.

247
00:19:45,185 --> 00:19:48,479
Even now Leonidas is in counsel
with the Oracle over his battle plan.

248
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:51,399
The Festival of the Carneia
is all that stands in our way.

249
00:19:51,649 --> 00:19:54,360
Surely the Oracle will see we must fight.

250
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:56,196
Well, then my timing is perfect.

251
00:19:56,988 --> 00:20:00,158
I am commanding a fleet of ships
that will represent a united Greece.

252
00:20:00,408 --> 00:20:02,660
I need Sparta to join me.

253
00:20:03,578 --> 00:20:04,996
Give me your ships, Gorgo.

254
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:08,082
I'll make sure that Xerxes wishes
he never crossed the Aegean.

255
00:20:08,333 --> 00:20:11,586
You'll receive no Spartan ships.
We've no interest in a united Greece.

256
00:20:11,836 --> 00:20:14,422
That is your dream, Themistokles, not ours.

257
00:20:15,048 --> 00:20:17,175
All I am concerned with
is the preservation...

258
00:20:17,425 --> 00:20:18,551
of Sparta.

259
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,638
My guards will see you out.

260
00:20:24,015 --> 00:20:25,642
It's funny that you mock freedom...

261
00:20:25,892 --> 00:20:27,769
here in your selfish isolation.

262
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:30,855
Yet freedom, in her wisdom...

263
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:33,399
has chosen you to defend her.

264
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:37,654
MY queen.

265
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:43,409
Will Sparta join our fight?

266
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:47,497
Apparently the Persians have offered
the Spartans something they cannot refuse.

267
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:48,747
And what is that?

268
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:51,918
A beautiful death.

269
00:21:10,228 --> 00:21:13,523
They say you are the bravest
of our captives.

270
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:17,610
They say you are a whore
from the eastern seas.

271
00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:23,616
You're not the smartest.

272
00:21:26,035 --> 00:21:28,037
Your commander is a Greek.

273
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:30,248
Just like me.

274
00:21:31,541 --> 00:21:34,794
You Persian men take your orders
from a Greek woman.

275
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:38,381
Yes, my brother, I am Greek by birth...

276
00:21:38,631 --> 00:21:41,676
and I have Greek blood
running through my veins.

277
00:21:44,387 --> 00:21:46,139
But my heart...

278
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:49,851
is Persian.

279
00:22:22,383 --> 00:22:23,801
Within hours...

280
00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:26,888
the Greek fleet will be shattered.

281
00:22:27,138 --> 00:22:29,932
What of our master
and the much-feared Spartans?

282
00:22:30,183 --> 00:22:32,310
There's nothing to fear.

283
00:22:32,894 --> 00:22:36,773
Only King Leonidas
and his personal guard of 300...

284
00:22:37,023 --> 00:22:39,025
have marched to fight.

285
00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:40,396
They'll collapse. Instantly.

286
00:22:44,072 --> 00:22:45,072
You.

287
00:22:51,329 --> 00:22:52,789
Do you agree?

288
00:22:55,333 --> 00:22:56,709
Many will perish.

289
00:22:58,127 --> 00:23:01,255
Your confidence leaves me
with a strong impression.

290
00:23:02,757 --> 00:23:04,926
It's a curious thing for
a simple ship guard...

291
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:07,929
to not lower his eyes
when questioned by me.

292
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:11,808
That could've been just
a lack of discipline.

293
00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:15,478
But a man's hands do not lie.

294
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:16,813
They can reveal...

295
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:21,067
every imperfection
and flaw in his character.

296
00:23:22,026 --> 00:23:23,986
You see, your hands
are not rough enough...

297
00:23:24,237 --> 00:23:26,280
to work the rigging of this ship.

298
00:23:27,824 --> 00:23:30,576
I know every single man beneath my lash.

299
00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:34,622
Can you explain to me
how I don't know you?

300
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:38,668
Forgive me, commander.

301
00:23:41,379 --> 00:23:43,381
Let me introduce myself.

302
00:23:45,049 --> 00:23:46,049
Seize the spy.

303
00:24:05,236 --> 00:24:07,029
Coward.

304
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:09,949
Storm is upon us.

305
00:24:12,785 --> 00:24:15,663
It's just some mad Greek weather.

306
00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:30,470
- Themistokles.
- Come.

307
00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,308
Calisto.

308
00:24:35,558 --> 00:24:38,144
What is spoken here must not be repeated.

309
00:24:38,603 --> 00:24:39,812
Anywhere.

310
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:45,943
My son has not earned the right
to sit at the table of combat veterans.

311
00:24:46,194 --> 00:24:48,571
- But you can trust him.
- Very well.

312
00:24:50,490 --> 00:24:52,325
- Tell me.
- A Greek woman...

313
00:24:52,575 --> 00:24:54,869
commands all of Xerxes' ships
to the south.

314
00:24:56,287 --> 00:24:57,914
Artemisia.

315
00:24:58,915 --> 00:24:59,916
I know of her.

316
00:25:00,958 --> 00:25:03,878
Artemisia is murderous by trade
with true skill on the sea...

317
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:05,922
and she has thirst for vengeance.

318
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,049
Rumors are her entire family...

319
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:10,593
was murdered
by a squad of Greek hoplites.

320
00:25:11,677 --> 00:25:14,138
I have heard all the stories.

321
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:17,850
And the hoplites spared no one on that day.

322
00:25:44,335 --> 00:25:46,379
The story goes
that they raped and murdered...

323
00:25:46,629 --> 00:25:48,089
her entire family.

324
00:25:50,132 --> 00:25:53,052
And then they turned their attention
towards her.

325
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:19,412
After years of being kept in the bowels
of a Greek slave ship...

326
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:23,124
she was discarded and left for dead...

327
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:26,669
where she was found near death
by a Persian emissary.

328
00:26:47,898 --> 00:26:50,484
Artemisia vowed that day
to return to Greece...

329
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,654
<i>only when she could watch it burn.</i>

330
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:08,836
She was fed, clothed, trained by the
finest warriors of the Persian empire...

331
00:27:12,923 --> 00:27:14,383
<i>until no match could be found...</i>

332
00:27:14,634 --> 00:27:16,314
<i>for her skills and gift with the sword.</i>

333
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,582
The great King Darius was impressed
by her commitment.

334
00:27:47,875 --> 00:27:50,086
And she quickly rose to command
at his side.

335
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:55,466
She has sold her soul...

336
00:27:55,716 --> 00:27:57,176
to Death himself.

337
00:27:58,511 --> 00:28:00,846
Well, some could say
that I've sold mine to Greece.

338
00:28:05,101 --> 00:28:06,102
And what do you think?

339
00:28:06,352 --> 00:28:08,062
- Me?
- Yes.

340
00:28:08,312 --> 00:28:10,189
You are the future of this country.

341
00:28:11,232 --> 00:28:12,608
I'm ready to fight.

342
00:28:16,112 --> 00:28:18,572
I like him. He reminds me of you.

343
00:28:19,258 --> 00:28:20,258
We will need...

344
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:21,282
every last man.

345
00:28:21,325 --> 00:28:22,410
He is still just a boy.

346
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:23,994
Much younger...

347
00:28:24,245 --> 00:28:26,038
- ...have defended our country.
- Enough!

348
00:28:26,497 --> 00:28:29,250
You are a dreamer
and will speak of this no more.

349
00:28:33,087 --> 00:28:35,089
Themistokles, I've set your plan in motion.

350
00:28:35,339 --> 00:28:38,259
And my land force
will be assembled by the second day.

351
00:28:38,509 --> 00:28:41,345
You will be needed.
I can assure you of that.

352
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:47,059
And there is bad news.

353
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:50,271
Leonidas has marched north
to the Hot Gates.

354
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:54,024
Bad news? With the Spartans...

355
00:28:54,275 --> 00:28:58,112
- ...at the Hot Gates, our victory is assured.
- If the army were with him.

356
00:28:59,113 --> 00:29:01,031
But between the Oracle and the Carneia...

357
00:29:01,282 --> 00:29:03,909
Leonidas has marched to Thermopylae
with just 300 men.

358
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:08,539
So the only thing standing
between Athens...

359
00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:10,291
and total annihilation...

360
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:13,919
is Leonidas and 300 Spartans.

361
00:29:18,758 --> 00:29:20,843
I will search out the veterans among them.

362
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:23,846
- Establish some order among the volunteers.
- Good.

363
00:29:24,555 --> 00:29:27,683
There's little time
to teach these farmhands strategy.

364
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,311
Just keep them well fed...

365
00:29:31,270 --> 00:29:32,646
and sober.

366
00:29:33,314 --> 00:29:34,732
Anything else?

367
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:37,193
Wouldn't hurt if they could
swing a sword.

368
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:41,822
Well, I'll be damned.

369
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:44,283
Shit.

370
00:29:44,533 --> 00:29:47,453
- Does your father know that you're here?
- No, sir.

371
00:29:47,703 --> 00:29:49,747
And this shield and sword?

372
00:29:49,997 --> 00:29:51,499
My grandfather's.

373
00:29:51,749 --> 00:29:54,543
My mother entrusted them to me
this morning.

374
00:29:55,044 --> 00:29:58,339
- When she gave you her blessing?
- Yes, sir.

375
00:29:58,964 --> 00:30:01,217
With a sharp blade, no less.

376
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:05,846
Your father is preparing a surprise
for our enemy tomorrow.

377
00:30:06,096 --> 00:30:09,433
I choose to fight here. Now.

378
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,270
Come aboard my ship.

379
00:30:13,896 --> 00:30:15,272
That is where you will fight.

380
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:16,774
Yes, sir.

381
00:30:21,070 --> 00:30:22,321
We've just over 50 ships.

382
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:25,324
Persian forces reported a number
in the thousands.

383
00:30:25,574 --> 00:30:28,911
- Those ships appear hardly seaworthy.
- Nothing like the monster ships...

384
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:32,456
- ...of the Persian fleet.
- We have the advantage. Speed, maneuverability.

385
00:30:32,748 --> 00:30:36,460
The rest of the city-states have sent
anywhere from a handful to a single ship.

386
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:40,005
- Of course, Athens supplied the balance.
- We have report...

387
00:30:40,256 --> 00:30:44,260
a small advance force of Persian ships have
taken refuge from the storm across the strait.

388
00:30:44,552 --> 00:30:46,846
If the weather breaks,
we could hit them at dawn.

389
00:30:48,722 --> 00:30:49,765
An early Greek victory.

390
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:51,809
The gods have given us an opportunity...

391
00:30:52,059 --> 00:30:54,019
to wound the Persians,
strengthen Greek morale.

392
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:57,314
A tempting distraction.

393
00:30:57,565 --> 00:30:59,650
But we'll stick to the battle plan.

394
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:03,028
Today at sundown, we will sail out
to meet the main Persian fleet.

395
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:06,323
We'll attack in the open water
with no shore to narrow the battle.

396
00:31:06,574 --> 00:31:08,409
To attack a force of over 1000 ships...

397
00:31:08,659 --> 00:31:10,452
with our meager force is suicide.

398
00:31:11,996 --> 00:31:13,956
Such is my plan.

399
00:31:18,127 --> 00:31:20,713
Look at their excuse for a navy.

400
00:31:21,589 --> 00:31:23,966
Their ships are of little threat.

401
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:27,094
I need a second in command, Artaphernes.

402
00:31:27,344 --> 00:31:31,348
And whoever proves their excellence
will earn a place beside me.

403
00:31:32,766 --> 00:31:35,603
General Bandari has offered
to lead the first attack.

404
00:31:35,853 --> 00:31:37,062
Bandafi.

405
00:31:39,857 --> 00:31:40,941
Commander.

406
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:43,110
If I let you lead our first offensive...

407
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,405
what guarantee do I have
that you'll bring me a quick victory?

408
00:31:46,655 --> 00:31:48,574
My word and my life.

409
00:31:49,158 --> 00:31:50,159
Good.

410
00:31:50,701 --> 00:31:52,244
My rules of engagement?

411
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:56,540
Humiliate the Greeks
and lay waste to their tiny ships.

412
00:31:57,541 --> 00:31:59,960
They'll be dead to the last man.

413
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:12,222
My brothers.

414
00:32:12,723 --> 00:32:14,725
Steady your hearts.

415
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,228
Look deep into your souls.

416
00:32:22,483 --> 00:32:25,569
For your mettle is to be tested this day.

417
00:32:29,406 --> 00:32:31,659
If in the heat of battle...

418
00:32:33,035 --> 00:32:35,704
you need a reason to fight on...

419
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:39,541
an idea for which you will give up...

420
00:32:40,167 --> 00:32:42,419
all that you will ever have...

421
00:32:43,629 --> 00:32:46,590
you need only to look at the man
who fights at your side.

422
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:51,053
This is the "why" of battle.

423
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:54,098
This is the brotherhood of men-at-arms.

424
00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:56,600
An unbreakable bond...

425
00:32:56,850 --> 00:32:59,853
made stronger by the crucible of combat.

426
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:05,067
You will never be closer than with those
who you shed your blood with.

427
00:33:07,027 --> 00:33:09,113
For there is no nobler cause...

428
00:33:09,363 --> 00:33:12,700
than to fight for those
who will la y down their life for you.

429
00:33:14,702 --> 00:33:17,121
So you fight strong today.

430
00:33:18,247 --> 00:33:20,332
You fight for your brothers.

431
00:33:21,625 --> 00:33:23,669
Fight for your families.

432
00:33:24,461 --> 00:33:26,463
Most of all, you fight for Greece!

433
00:33:26,714 --> 00:33:27,714
Greece!

434
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:29,800
Yeah!

435
00:33:32,011 --> 00:33:35,305
And there is only one thing to make sure of
when the fighting starts.

436
00:33:35,556 --> 00:33:36,598
What's that?

437
00:33:37,683 --> 00:33:39,435
Don't get killed on the first day.

438
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:43,230
That goes for the rest of you.

439
00:34:14,928 --> 00:34:15,928
Persian ships...

440
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:17,431
are strong at the front.

441
00:34:17,681 --> 00:34:18,682
But they are weak...

442
00:34:18,932 --> 00:34:20,350
in the middle.

443
00:34:20,601 --> 00:34:22,436
We attack them there.

444
00:34:32,696 --> 00:34:34,364
NOW!

445
00:34:55,385 --> 00:34:56,470
Attack!

446
00:35:24,665 --> 00:35:26,041
Ram them!

447
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:40,055
Archers, now! Now!

448
00:35:49,314 --> 00:35:50,774
Reverse!

449
00:35:51,108 --> 00:35:52,526
NOW!

450
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:00,701
Go through them!

451
00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:56,840
The enemy's tactics...

452
00:36:57,090 --> 00:36:58,467
are creative.

453
00:36:58,717 --> 00:37:01,136
The defensive circle
leaves no front to assault.

454
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,096
We are losing.

455
00:37:03,347 --> 00:37:05,015
No, you are losing.

456
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,856
Pull back.

457
00:37:13,357 --> 00:37:15,025
Let them have this day.

458
00:37:15,651 --> 00:37:18,695
I'm bored with your failures, Bandari.

459
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:25,911
I'll not let this wound slow me.

460
00:37:26,161 --> 00:37:28,413
Heh. Somehow I believe you.

461
00:37:28,664 --> 00:37:30,874
My blade will be sharp and ready
by the morning.

462
00:37:31,875 --> 00:37:34,544
Good. Tomorrow you will fight
alongside your father.

463
00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:37,631
Not bad...

464
00:37:37,881 --> 00:37:41,343
- ...for a bunch of farmers.
- And poets and sculptors.

465
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:43,053
Who'd have known untrained men...

466
00:37:43,303 --> 00:37:46,098
would do so well against
such a considerable adversary?

467
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:51,728
We're going to need all of our strength
for tomorrow's fight.

468
00:37:52,354 --> 00:37:54,564
How long do you think we can hold them?

469
00:37:57,526 --> 00:37:59,778
If my plan is to work...

470
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:04,658
long enough for the Spartans
to unite Greece.

471
00:38:05,951 --> 00:38:07,244
Men!

472
00:38:07,786 --> 00:38:09,147
Who will share their wine with me?

473
00:38:22,968 --> 00:38:24,052
Report.

474
00:38:24,303 --> 00:38:26,096
We are still tallying the losses.

475
00:38:26,722 --> 00:38:29,308
But you must understand,
it is extremely difficult...

476
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:31,893
given the sea and the darkness...

477
00:38:32,144 --> 00:38:33,729
to get an accurate...

478
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:46,074
Report?

479
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,118
Seventy-five ships lost.

480
00:38:48,368 --> 00:38:49,745
Thirty damaged beyond repair.

481
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:53,040
Twenty could return with a few weeks' work
in a safe harbor.

482
00:38:57,210 --> 00:39:00,130
The commander of the Greek force
is named Themistokles.

483
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:02,382
Yes, he is an Athenian general.

484
00:39:03,216 --> 00:39:05,052
He's rumored to have loosed the arrow...

485
00:39:05,302 --> 00:39:07,846
that felled the great
King Darius himself.

486
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,361
No!

487
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,004
This Themistokles has shown himself
to be quite brilliant in battle.

488
00:39:42,631 --> 00:39:44,716
Which is more than I can
say for any of you.

489
00:39:46,093 --> 00:39:49,304
Do you gentlemen find my command
unreasonable?

490
00:39:49,763 --> 00:39:52,307
Is it too much to ask for victory?

491
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:54,317
Your disappointment in
yesterday's losses...

492
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:56,144
is warranted.

493
00:39:57,604 --> 00:39:59,606
My disappointment.

494
00:40:00,941 --> 00:40:03,360
My disappointment is not with my losses.

495
00:40:03,610 --> 00:40:07,239
The meager number of damaged ships
and dead slaves means nothing to me.

496
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:11,284
No, my disappointment...

497
00:40:13,829 --> 00:40:15,539
is in these men.

498
00:40:16,832 --> 00:40:17,833
For though I stand...

499
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:20,168
among 10,000...

500
00:40:20,502 --> 00:40:21,962
I am alone.

501
00:40:24,047 --> 00:40:27,426
I long for a soul
who would stand by my side.

502
00:40:27,676 --> 00:40:28,844
Who I could trust.

503
00:40:34,891 --> 00:40:37,185
Tell me, General Kashani.

504
00:40:37,811 --> 00:40:39,646
Are you that man?

505
00:40:41,523 --> 00:40:44,776
You will taste your
victory by the day's end.

506
00:40:45,235 --> 00:40:47,571
I will make certain of it.

507
00:40:48,822 --> 00:40:50,615
I hope so.

508
00:42:22,207 --> 00:42:24,376
Advance!

509
00:42:31,508 --> 00:42:35,053
NOW!

510
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:01,037
Don't lose sight of them.

511
00:43:15,385 --> 00:43:16,511
The Greeks are retreating.

512
00:43:16,761 --> 00:43:19,222
He's got him right where he wants him.

513
00:43:19,472 --> 00:43:21,349
Kashani is a fine tactician.

514
00:43:21,975 --> 00:43:24,644
I was speaking of Themistokles.

515
00:43:34,487 --> 00:43:35,530
Rocks!

516
00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:40,201
Stop, stop!

517
00:43:40,452 --> 00:43:41,745
Stop!

518
00:43:42,454 --> 00:43:44,164
Brace yourselves!

519
00:46:30,622 --> 00:46:31,622
What are you doing here?

520
00:46:31,623 --> 00:46:35,126
A man's responsibility
is to protect his family and his nation.

521
00:46:35,376 --> 00:46:38,338
- Who told you this?
- My father.

522
00:47:41,776 --> 00:47:44,779
You see how Themistokles
employs deception with such grace?

523
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,199
- Why is it so much to ask for victory?
- How can I make amends?

524
00:47:48,449 --> 00:47:49,826
Silence.

525
00:47:53,246 --> 00:47:55,623
You will carry a message for me.

526
00:47:56,708 --> 00:47:58,126
Now they will fear us!

527
00:47:58,376 --> 00:48:02,005
Now they will fear
the Greek men-at-arms! Hup!

528
00:48:03,590 --> 00:48:04,591
He's right.

529
00:48:05,341 --> 00:48:07,218
Fear the Greek fighting man.

530
00:48:07,468 --> 00:48:08,595
Fear his sword.

531
00:48:08,845 --> 00:48:10,179
His shield.

532
00:48:10,638 --> 00:48:13,224
Fear his love for Mother Greece.

533
00:48:13,474 --> 00:48:14,976
But most of all...

534
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,186
fear his freedom!

535
00:48:23,276 --> 00:48:25,194
Don't be angry with the boy.

536
00:48:25,486 --> 00:48:26,779
I took him under my command.

537
00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:30,033
Anger is something I reserve
for my enemies.

538
00:48:38,291 --> 00:48:39,876
Themistokles.

539
00:49:00,188 --> 00:49:03,900
Artemisia's ship is being anchored
in neutral waters.

540
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:06,319
She'd like to meet with Themistokles.

541
00:49:06,569 --> 00:49:09,447
- How can you guarantee his safe return?
- Well, boy...

542
00:49:09,697 --> 00:49:11,616
the only honor for her now...

543
00:49:11,866 --> 00:49:15,244
will be when she watches
your crushed and broken fleet...

544
00:49:15,495 --> 00:49:17,413
sinking to the bottom of the Aegean...

545
00:49:17,664 --> 00:49:19,248
and is able to recognize you...

546
00:49:19,499 --> 00:49:22,585
nailed to the mast of your ship
with her sword...

547
00:49:22,835 --> 00:49:25,588
as you descend to a watery grave.

548
00:49:30,969 --> 00:49:33,471
Why didn't you just say that to begin with?

549
00:50:00,915 --> 00:50:03,418
Welcome to my humble barge.

550
00:50:03,668 --> 00:50:06,212
We are honored by your presence.

551
00:50:08,673 --> 00:50:10,925
Your barge and you...

552
00:50:11,634 --> 00:50:13,261
are quite impressive.

553
00:50:18,057 --> 00:50:19,892
Kind words.

554
00:50:21,519 --> 00:50:24,731
Now come, Themistokles.
We have much to discuss.

555
00:50:26,441 --> 00:50:29,110
Do you believe the Greeks
are descended from the gods?

556
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:30,945
I have heard some say that.

557
00:50:31,195 --> 00:50:34,490
And what of you?
Ls there a god in your lineage?

558
00:50:34,741 --> 00:50:38,161
My men say so, and based on
the last two days' battle...

559
00:50:38,661 --> 00:50:41,914
I'd say there's a spark
of the divine in you.

560
00:50:43,124 --> 00:50:45,710
Now who's using kind words?

561
00:50:52,592 --> 00:50:54,177
My men also say that it was you...

562
00:50:54,427 --> 00:50:57,597
who slayed the good King Darius
at Marathon.

563
00:50:57,847 --> 00:51:00,266
Many heroic deeds occurred on that day.

564
00:51:00,516 --> 00:51:02,226
But it was 10 years ago...

565
00:51:02,477 --> 00:51:04,979
and the facts of battle
are often embellished.

566
00:51:05,229 --> 00:51:07,065
This deed, you would remember.

567
00:51:08,399 --> 00:51:11,527
I do what I must to defend Greece.

568
00:51:11,778 --> 00:51:14,322
And I do what I must to defeat her.

569
00:51:17,450 --> 00:51:20,453
For every one Greek killed,
you must kill a thousand Persians.

570
00:51:22,455 --> 00:51:24,123
For every ship I sink...

571
00:51:25,083 --> 00:51:26,876
you must sink a hundred.

572
00:51:27,877 --> 00:51:29,879
I can sustain losses for weeks.

573
00:51:30,129 --> 00:51:32,423
Months, if need be.

574
00:51:32,673 --> 00:51:34,175
My numbers will defeat you...

575
00:51:34,425 --> 00:51:37,136
and I will take your precious boats
with my sword.

576
00:51:37,386 --> 00:51:38,971
I will take your Greek freedom.

577
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,517
Are you asking me
to negotiate a surrender?

578
00:51:42,767 --> 00:51:43,810
No.

579
00:51:44,811 --> 00:51:47,772
I offer you a chance
to avoid such misery and join me.

580
00:51:49,357 --> 00:51:51,901
I'm in need of a commander such as you.

581
00:51:52,902 --> 00:51:54,529
Look at the defense you've mounted.

582
00:51:56,572 --> 00:51:58,032
A handful of triremes.

583
00:51:58,866 --> 00:52:01,077
Leonidas with 300 Spartans.

584
00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:04,080
It's insulting, frankly...

585
00:52:04,330 --> 00:52:07,458
that the mightiest empire the world
has ever seen is met by this.

586
00:52:09,627 --> 00:52:11,796
I don't blame you, Themistokles.

587
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:15,383
You fought as if the blood
of Poseidon himself...

588
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:17,760
was coursing through your veins.

589
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:19,929
No, I blame Greece.

590
00:52:20,847 --> 00:52:23,850
The squabbling bureaucrats
protecting their political hides...

591
00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:26,978
by sending you here to die.

592
00:52:30,356 --> 00:52:32,650
And yet you still fight.

593
00:52:34,235 --> 00:52:36,028
So there must be...

594
00:52:37,697 --> 00:52:38,990
What?

595
00:52:40,324 --> 00:52:44,328
Family back home in Athens
that compels you...

596
00:52:45,413 --> 00:52:48,040
to battle with such passion?

597
00:52:50,293 --> 00:52:52,879
Truth is, I've had no time for family.

598
00:52:53,129 --> 00:52:55,590
I have spent my entire adult life...

599
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,633
with my one true love...

600
00:52:58,593 --> 00:53:00,178
the Greek fleet...

601
00:53:00,928 --> 00:53:02,763
and my one passion...

602
00:53:03,014 --> 00:53:04,891
readying it for you.

603
00:53:09,061 --> 00:53:10,563
Now, that brings me pleasure...

604
00:53:10,813 --> 00:53:14,275
the thought of you pining away for me...

605
00:53:15,193 --> 00:53:17,778
forsaking family and love...

606
00:53:18,029 --> 00:53:21,199
for the promise of a deeper ecstasy.

607
00:53:28,247 --> 00:53:31,667
The ecstasy of steel and flesh...

608
00:53:32,835 --> 00:53:35,796
death and life...

609
00:53:37,632 --> 00:53:39,175
of rage...

610
00:53:40,051 --> 00:53:42,386
and sweat of muscle...

611
00:53:43,512 --> 00:53:45,431
of pure joy...

612
00:53:46,432 --> 00:53:48,601
and deepest sorrow.

613
00:53:49,852 --> 00:53:53,689
Die with me each night and be born again
with me each morning...

614
00:53:54,357 --> 00:53:58,236
as you plant your sword
into the hearts of our enemies.

615
00:54:01,989 --> 00:54:03,658
You fight for freedom.

616
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,954
I offer freedom without
consequence or responsibility.

617
00:54:11,207 --> 00:54:12,667
Join me...

618
00:54:14,126 --> 00:54:15,836
at my side.

619
00:54:16,128 --> 00:54:20,132
Breathe each breath with me
as if it were your last.

620
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,701
Join me.

621
00:56:16,749 --> 00:56:17,958
No.

622
00:56:29,095 --> 00:56:32,348
You're no god. You're just a man.

623
00:56:47,488 --> 00:56:49,740
Be quick with your sword.

624
00:56:53,202 --> 00:56:55,413
You'll not have your death tonight.

625
00:56:55,955 --> 00:56:57,123
Guards!

626
00:56:58,749 --> 00:57:00,918
Remove this filth from my ship.

627
00:57:27,194 --> 00:57:28,194
Well?

628
00:57:28,904 --> 00:57:30,781
What have you learned?

629
00:57:38,122 --> 00:57:40,082
Can Artemisia be beaten?

630
00:57:41,792 --> 00:57:44,086
The next time that we face her...

631
00:57:44,336 --> 00:57:46,964
she's going to bring
all of hell with her.

632
00:58:40,893 --> 00:58:43,312
Hold! Hold!

633
00:58:54,865 --> 00:58:56,951
Send in my personal guard.

634
00:59:23,852 --> 00:59:24,853
Pull back!

635
00:59:25,104 --> 00:59:26,188
Retreat!

636
00:59:26,438 --> 00:59:27,565
- Retreat!
- Retreat!

637
00:59:27,815 --> 00:59:29,316
- Retreat!
- Retreat!

638
00:59:30,025 --> 00:59:31,735
Themistokles!

639
00:59:31,986 --> 00:59:33,487
In the water!

640
00:59:37,032 --> 00:59:39,201
Archers on deck now!

641
00:59:39,451 --> 00:59:41,120
Archers on deck now! Quickly!

642
00:59:41,704 --> 00:59:42,830
Starboard side!

643
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,248
Fire at will!

644
01:01:00,908 --> 01:01:02,201
Fight on, boy.

645
01:01:02,451 --> 01:01:03,494
Uh-huh.

646
01:01:03,744 --> 01:01:05,204
Fight on!

647
01:01:25,015 --> 01:01:26,725
Aim for the men on top!

648
01:01:26,975 --> 01:01:28,185
UP there!

649
01:02:38,714 --> 01:02:41,550
Abandon ship! Abandon ship!

650
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,761
Abandon ship!

651
01:04:29,533 --> 01:04:31,869
The dead have no guilt.

652
01:04:32,411 --> 01:04:34,621
No responsibility.

653
01:04:35,831 --> 01:04:38,000
Themistokles watches the bodies
of his men...

654
01:04:38,250 --> 01:04:41,086
turn the Aegean red with blood.

655
01:04:42,129 --> 01:04:43,964
Were they sacrificed for his ego?

656
01:04:45,674 --> 01:04:49,678
Or to relieve the guilt of the long-ago
mistake at Marathon?

657
01:04:52,681 --> 01:04:54,391
How many men would have been saved...

658
01:04:54,641 --> 01:04:57,603
if Themistokles had killed that boy?

659
01:05:00,355 --> 01:05:03,108
Not even his own soul can be sure.

660
01:05:04,568 --> 01:05:06,194
My friend.

661
01:05:07,112 --> 01:05:09,072
We faced the odds.

662
01:05:10,407 --> 01:05:11,992
Together.

663
01:05:13,994 --> 01:05:14,995
Listen to me...

664
01:05:15,245 --> 01:05:17,122
Themistokles.

665
01:05:20,709 --> 01:05:22,878
You will have to fight...

666
01:05:23,128 --> 01:05:25,923
with twice as much strength
in the morning.

667
01:05:26,798 --> 01:05:28,800
We will fight shoulder-to-shoulder.

668
01:05:29,051 --> 01:05:30,427
No, my son.

669
01:05:31,887 --> 01:05:34,640
You will carry on for both of us.

670
01:06:33,949 --> 01:06:35,367
What did he say?

671
01:06:37,911 --> 01:06:40,163
I will tell you in time, boy.

672
01:06:42,416 --> 01:06:43,750
Quiet now.

673
01:06:45,085 --> 01:06:47,504
You go and be with your father's spirit.

674
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,433
How many times do you think
we will repeat such a tragedy?

675
01:07:00,976 --> 01:07:02,144
As many times as we must.

676
01:07:03,228 --> 01:07:05,063
We are turning young men into memories.

677
01:07:08,692 --> 01:07:10,610
Do you think I enjoy this?

678
01:07:12,154 --> 01:07:14,156
Witnessing my friend's final breath?

679
01:07:18,076 --> 01:07:20,412
Every widow that is made by my decision...

680
01:07:22,497 --> 01:07:25,208
every child that will grow
without a father...

681
01:07:27,002 --> 01:07:28,754
they are my choices.

682
01:07:29,755 --> 01:07:33,383
This is the burden of my command.

683
01:07:57,282 --> 01:07:58,909
How easy it is to silence...

684
01:07:59,159 --> 01:08:02,370
the strong and self-disciplined.

685
01:08:02,621 --> 01:08:05,791
Let my army witness
the great warriors of Sparta.

686
01:08:09,044 --> 01:08:12,214
March them past these corpses.

687
01:08:12,464 --> 01:08:15,634
Let them see the cost
of daring to challenge the god-king.

688
01:08:19,387 --> 01:08:20,931
King Leonidas...

689
01:08:21,181 --> 01:08:25,185
and his brave 300
were the finest Greece has to offer.

690
01:08:25,477 --> 01:08:26,728
There will be no saviors...

691
01:08:26,978 --> 01:08:29,397
to rise up and vanquish us.

692
01:08:30,023 --> 01:08:32,818
Nothing will stop the march of my empire.

693
01:08:35,362 --> 01:08:36,530
Your Majesty.

694
01:08:39,366 --> 01:08:41,326
You, take this dead king's sword...

695
01:08:41,576 --> 01:08:42,869
to Athens.

696
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,039
Let them know
that I am coming next for them.

697
01:08:47,207 --> 01:08:48,792
Let them know...

698
01:08:49,042 --> 01:08:50,544
Athens...

699
01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:54,131
their prize jewel of a city...

700
01:08:54,923 --> 01:08:57,342
will disappear from the histories.

701
01:09:01,012 --> 01:09:02,430
Themistokles!

702
01:09:05,517 --> 01:09:06,518
I bring word...

703
01:09:06,768 --> 01:09:09,396
from Thermopylae.
Leonidas was betrayed by a hunchback.

704
01:09:09,646 --> 01:09:11,314
The Spartans have been slaughtered.

705
01:09:11,565 --> 01:09:12,774
The Hot Gates have fallen.

706
01:09:15,777 --> 01:09:17,821
Such a sacrifice.

707
01:09:21,950 --> 01:09:24,119
Now Greece has her martyrs.

708
01:09:25,370 --> 01:09:27,539
Daxos, take that message...

709
01:09:27,789 --> 01:09:29,332
from the Hot Gates...

710
01:09:29,583 --> 01:09:31,918
to every city, every village.

711
01:09:32,169 --> 01:09:34,754
Let every countryman hear your words.

712
01:09:35,005 --> 01:09:36,798
But they are dead. All of them.

713
01:09:37,048 --> 01:09:39,843
Sparta's sacrifice will be what unites us.

714
01:09:40,427 --> 01:09:41,803
Now go.

715
01:09:42,865 --> 01:09:43,865
Hyah!

716
01:09:43,889 --> 01:09:46,600
Move all of our ships and men back
to the safety of Salamis.

717
01:09:46,850 --> 01:09:48,226
And you?

718
01:09:49,060 --> 01:09:51,313
I will take Daxos' message to Athens.

719
01:09:52,522 --> 01:09:55,775
I was told a hunchback was accountable
for the fall of the Hot Gates.

720
01:09:57,194 --> 01:10:00,280
That he sold out his country...

721
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:03,742
pulled the crimson from his back
and replaced it with Persian gold.

722
01:10:06,494 --> 01:10:08,288
What is your name, traitor?

723
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:12,500
Ephialtes of Trachis.

724
01:10:24,429 --> 01:10:28,433
I should wet this noble blade
with your blood.

725
01:10:30,185 --> 01:10:32,020
You would be right to do so.

726
01:10:32,854 --> 01:10:35,523
There is little beauty about me.

727
01:10:35,774 --> 01:10:39,778
There is little beauty in what I have done.

728
01:10:44,616 --> 01:10:46,284
Say what you must.

729
01:10:46,952 --> 01:10:48,787
I beg of you...

730
01:10:49,371 --> 01:10:50,872
and all of Athens!

731
01:10:51,122 --> 01:10:54,668
The god-king will burn this city
to the ground!

732
01:10:54,918 --> 01:10:55,961
What does he mean?

733
01:10:56,503 --> 01:10:58,171
Quiet yourselves!

734
01:10:59,130 --> 01:11:03,134
Leonidas' and Sparta's great sacrifice
was no defeat.

735
01:11:06,263 --> 01:11:08,348
It was a beautiful victory.

736
01:11:11,643 --> 01:11:14,104
This simple act of valor...

737
01:11:14,396 --> 01:11:16,856
will allow us to rally each
of our city-states...

738
01:11:17,107 --> 01:11:19,109
and unite Greece...

739
01:11:19,985 --> 01:11:21,987
for one purpose...

740
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:23,488
against one enemy!

741
01:11:24,906 --> 01:11:25,949
And you.

742
01:11:26,199 --> 01:11:29,452
You take this message to your god-king.

743
01:11:29,703 --> 01:11:32,247
That we will take whatever ships
we have left...

744
01:11:32,789 --> 01:11:35,250
and finish this in the Bay of Salamis.

745
01:11:36,126 --> 01:11:38,712
But there will be death and destruction.

746
01:11:38,962 --> 01:11:42,757
Yes, there will be.

747
01:11:49,514 --> 01:11:50,932
Themistokles.

748
01:11:53,268 --> 01:11:55,437
I'm here to speak to your queen.

749
01:11:56,187 --> 01:11:57,689
A warning, Athenian.

750
01:11:57,939 --> 01:12:00,692
You may not receive a warm welcome.

751
01:12:27,469 --> 01:12:30,055
May I offer my deepest sympathies.

752
01:12:31,681 --> 01:12:34,517
I cannot change what has happened
to Leonidas...

753
01:12:34,768 --> 01:12:37,604
but his sacrifice will not be forgotten.

754
01:12:38,563 --> 01:12:42,025
Do not lecture me on sacrifice,
and be quick with your words, Athenian.

755
01:12:44,903 --> 01:12:48,156
I request of you the entire Spartan navy.

756
01:12:48,907 --> 01:12:50,492
Every man, every ship...

757
01:12:50,742 --> 01:12:53,078
- ...that you can spare.
- Have I not given enough...

758
01:12:53,328 --> 01:12:54,996
for your dream of a united Greece?

759
01:12:55,372 --> 01:12:58,750
Shall I put swords in the hands
of my son? Our children?

760
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,210
Would that please you?

761
01:13:01,669 --> 01:13:05,173
Have I not given enough
for your ambitions, Themistokles?

762
01:13:05,423 --> 01:13:06,966
A king.

763
01:13:07,675 --> 01:13:10,053
Husbands, fathers, brothers.

764
01:13:10,303 --> 01:13:12,764
Sparta will give no more.

765
01:13:28,446 --> 01:13:29,989
This belongs with you.

766
01:13:40,250 --> 01:13:41,709
Avenge him.

767
01:13:59,686 --> 01:14:02,439
The Oracle's words stood as a warning.

768
01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:05,108
All of Greece will fall...

769
01:14:05,733 --> 01:14:09,028
as Persian fire reduces
Athens to cinder.

770
01:14:10,488 --> 01:14:12,824
For Athens is a pile of stone and wood...

771
01:14:13,074 --> 01:14:15,660
and cloth and dust...

772
01:14:16,578 --> 01:14:19,372
and, as dust, will vanish into the wind.

773
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,835
Only the Athenians themselves exist.

774
01:14:25,044 --> 01:14:28,631
And the fate of the world
hangs on their every syllable.

775
01:14:29,507 --> 01:14:31,885
Only the Athenians exist.

776
01:14:32,260 --> 01:14:35,221
And only stout wooden ships can save them.

777
01:14:35,889 --> 01:14:37,474
Wooden ships...

778
01:14:38,266 --> 01:14:41,102
and a tidal wave of heroes' blood.

779
01:14:48,193 --> 01:14:51,279
The Greeks were fools to stand against us.

780
01:14:51,529 --> 01:14:53,156
Leonidas and his pride...

781
01:14:53,406 --> 01:14:55,992
were no match for the will of a god.

782
01:14:58,286 --> 01:15:02,207
Themistokles was a worthless coward.

783
01:15:02,457 --> 01:15:03,958
And now...

784
01:15:04,501 --> 01:15:08,213
this pathetic navy
is barely worth our attention.

785
01:15:08,463 --> 01:15:10,757
If that worthless coward
had stood at my side...

786
01:15:11,007 --> 01:15:12,592
we would have laid the world...

787
01:15:12,842 --> 01:15:13,927
at your feet.

788
01:15:14,844 --> 01:15:15,970
My king.

789
01:15:17,180 --> 01:15:20,683
Your humble servant brings you news.

790
01:15:22,018 --> 01:15:24,395
The Greek fleet are defenseless...

791
01:15:24,646 --> 01:15:26,814
within the Bay of Salamis.

792
01:15:27,482 --> 01:15:29,943
You need only finish them.

793
01:15:30,860 --> 01:15:32,529
Who commands their forces?

794
01:15:36,032 --> 01:15:38,535
Themistokles of Athens.

795
01:15:38,785 --> 01:15:40,620
Themistokles is dead.

796
01:15:40,870 --> 01:15:44,332
He is alive. I have seen him myself.

797
01:15:58,638 --> 01:16:00,431
Ready my troops and armor.

798
01:16:00,682 --> 01:16:01,975
We will attack at once.

799
01:16:02,225 --> 01:16:03,226
Wisdom...

800
01:16:04,936 --> 01:16:05,936
would have us...

801
01:16:05,937 --> 01:16:08,606
send a probing force to confirm
it is not a trap.

802
01:16:09,774 --> 01:16:12,026
You would dare to advise me
in matters of war?

803
01:16:13,653 --> 01:16:15,572
I am the god-king.

804
01:16:15,822 --> 01:16:18,533
I am the one who triumphed over Leonidas.

805
01:16:18,783 --> 01:16:20,827
I am the one who laid waste...

806
01:16:21,077 --> 01:16:22,870
to this showpiece of Athens.

807
01:16:23,121 --> 01:16:26,291
- I am your king.
- Killing Leonidas and his men...

808
01:16:26,541 --> 01:16:28,710
only made them martyrs.

809
01:16:29,586 --> 01:16:31,588
And when you razed Athens...

810
01:16:32,213 --> 01:16:33,881
you set fire to the only thing...

811
01:16:34,132 --> 01:16:36,050
of value in this country.

812
01:16:48,062 --> 01:16:50,481
I will attack the Greeks...

813
01:16:51,649 --> 01:16:54,235
with my entire navy.

814
01:16:55,445 --> 01:16:56,571
Artemisia.

815
01:16:56,821 --> 01:16:58,156
Enough!

816
01:16:59,657 --> 01:17:03,036
Do not forget who put the crown
on your childish head.

817
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:05,246
My king.

818
01:17:06,331 --> 01:17:07,832
Now sit on your golden throne...

819
01:17:08,082 --> 01:17:10,752
and watch this battle
from the safety I provide you.

820
01:17:17,050 --> 01:17:18,718
There in the distance...

821
01:17:19,927 --> 01:17:22,680
we witness the destruction of Athens.

822
01:17:26,225 --> 01:17:30,229
Alone, we will face the monster
that cast a shadow across our land.

823
01:17:33,316 --> 01:17:36,944
I had prayed that the Spartans
would come to lend a hand this morning.

824
01:17:39,989 --> 01:17:41,908
Perhaps they feel they have given enough.

825
01:17:42,158 --> 01:17:43,576
You failed us all.

826
01:17:43,826 --> 01:17:45,203
This is your fault, Themistokles.

827
01:17:45,453 --> 01:17:47,038
Without Spartans, we're farmhands.

828
01:17:47,288 --> 01:17:49,848
We should've negotiated
with the Persians when we had the chance.

829
01:17:54,253 --> 01:17:55,963
You are all right.

830
01:17:57,799 --> 01:18:01,552
Yes, we are down to a handful of boats.

831
01:18:02,637 --> 01:18:06,099
And, yes, we are just farmhands.

832
01:18:06,808 --> 01:18:08,559
We are tradesmen.

833
01:18:09,686 --> 01:18:10,770
We are boys...

834
01:18:11,437 --> 01:18:15,149
turned to men through the sacrifice
and forge of combat.

835
01:18:17,610 --> 01:18:19,946
I played a dangerous game...

836
01:18:20,196 --> 01:18:21,781
and I lost!

837
01:18:26,661 --> 01:18:29,997
If you choose to turn your back on me...

838
01:18:30,456 --> 01:18:31,833
on your country...

839
01:18:35,128 --> 01:18:37,046
I will not judge you.

840
01:18:38,715 --> 01:18:40,758
You are free to leave.

841
01:18:41,843 --> 01:18:43,636
You are still free men.

842
01:19:07,076 --> 01:19:08,244
Very well.

843
01:19:10,163 --> 01:19:11,164
Then let us...

844
01:19:11,414 --> 01:19:15,376
put our shoulders to work and free
those ships from the bosom of Greece.

845
01:19:17,712 --> 01:19:20,381
Today is a privilege to call our own.

846
01:19:21,716 --> 01:19:25,303
A story that will be told
for a thousand years.

847
01:19:26,471 --> 01:19:28,473
Let our final stand...

848
01:19:28,723 --> 01:19:30,767
be recorded to the histories.

849
01:19:31,225 --> 01:19:33,019
And let it be shown...

850
01:19:33,603 --> 01:19:36,189
that we chose to die on our feet...

851
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,691
rather than live on our knees!

852
01:20:26,906 --> 01:20:29,283
There is only one thing
you need to know today.

853
01:20:29,534 --> 01:20:31,035
Not to get killed.

854
01:20:31,285 --> 01:20:35,289
No. Your father's last words.

855
01:20:39,377 --> 01:20:42,421
He told me that you had earned
the right to sit at the table.

856
01:20:59,689 --> 01:21:03,693
Well, my brother,
I have no more tactics or tricks.

857
01:21:05,486 --> 01:21:07,864
This will be the last battle that we share.

858
01:21:08,114 --> 01:21:11,742
We have fought next to one other
for as long as I can remember.

859
01:21:12,577 --> 01:21:15,955
Nothing would please me more
than to rest this sword.

860
01:21:17,123 --> 01:21:20,710
- The preparations that are required?
- Below deck.

861
01:21:21,794 --> 01:21:23,713
- Good.
- Are you sure...

862
01:21:23,963 --> 01:21:25,756
that you want to commit everything?

863
01:21:26,465 --> 01:21:27,550
Yes.

864
01:21:29,385 --> 01:21:32,263
Without Artemisia's command,
the Persian navy is nothing.

865
01:21:34,015 --> 01:21:36,142
We will never be able to reach her.

866
01:21:36,392 --> 01:21:37,935
I will reach her...

867
01:21:38,728 --> 01:21:40,646
and put an end to this.

868
01:21:41,564 --> 01:21:43,983
There will be no room for a retreat.

869
01:21:45,401 --> 01:21:46,819
I know.

870
01:21:49,196 --> 01:21:52,617
Today the last Greek
ships will be destroyed.

871
01:21:52,867 --> 01:21:54,952
Show them no mercy.

872
01:21:55,202 --> 01:21:57,705
Give them no quarter.

873
01:21:57,955 --> 01:22:01,167
Today we will dance across the backs
of dead Greeks.

874
01:22:01,876 --> 01:22:04,629
Today we deliver submission.

875
01:22:05,504 --> 01:22:07,548
Today I want to feel
Themistokles' throat...

876
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:09,800
beneath my boots.

877
01:22:40,623 --> 01:22:43,084
Men, brace yourselves!

878
01:23:37,221 --> 01:23:38,806
Prepare for close quarters.

879
01:23:39,056 --> 01:23:40,558
Attack!

880
01:23:46,689 --> 01:23:47,815
Your father watches you!

881
01:23:49,191 --> 01:23:51,360
Hold nothing back!

882
01:23:51,610 --> 01:23:52,945
Seize your glory!

883
01:24:21,307 --> 01:24:23,851
I'm not here as a witness.

884
01:25:25,788 --> 01:25:26,788
NOW!

885
01:25:27,414 --> 01:25:30,042
And let them send our
souls straight to hell!

886
01:26:07,621 --> 01:26:10,166
Hyah! Come on!

887
01:27:16,899 --> 01:27:18,442
You offered freedom without...

888
01:27:18,692 --> 01:27:21,654
- ...consequence or responsibility.
- Are you accepting my offer?

889
01:27:21,904 --> 01:27:23,364
My answer is still no.

890
01:27:51,976 --> 01:27:54,353
You fight much harder than you fuck.

891
01:28:37,896 --> 01:28:40,566
Surrender to me or meet your death.

892
01:28:40,816 --> 01:28:41,942
Who would you fight...

893
01:28:42,192 --> 01:28:43,444
if not for me?

894
01:28:44,069 --> 01:28:46,280
No one could challenge your skill.

895
01:28:46,530 --> 01:28:49,491
I would rather die a free
man than as a slave.

896
01:28:50,617 --> 01:28:53,078
Even if the chain was attached to you.

897
01:29:02,212 --> 01:29:04,673
It begins as a whisper.

898
01:29:05,466 --> 01:29:07,092
A promise.

899
01:29:08,135 --> 01:29:09,470
The lightest of breezes...

900
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,000
dances through the rigging...

901
01:29:11,221 --> 01:29:14,308
as it creaks above the death cries
of 10,000 men.

902
01:29:15,684 --> 01:29:19,271
It moves through her hair
as gently as a lover's hand.

903
01:29:19,772 --> 01:29:20,772
That breeze...

904
01:29:21,940 --> 01:29:25,778
that promise, became a wind,
a wind that is blown across Greece...

905
01:29:26,028 --> 01:29:28,489
carrying a message
told again and again...

906
01:29:28,739 --> 01:29:31,700
of our Lady Freedom
and how wise she was...

907
01:29:31,950 --> 01:29:35,704
to charge Leonidas
to lay all at her feet.

908
01:29:37,373 --> 01:29:40,250
A wind, my brothers, of sacrifice.

909
01:29:42,127 --> 01:29:44,046
A wind of freedom.

910
01:29:46,256 --> 01:29:48,425
A wind of justice.

911
01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:58,143
A wind of vengeance.

912
01:30:21,041 --> 01:30:22,793
Ah-ooh! Ah-ooh! Ah-ooh!

913
01:30:42,604 --> 01:30:43,856
You are being surrounded.

914
01:30:44,356 --> 01:30:47,276
All of Greece has united against you.

915
01:30:47,901 --> 01:30:50,821
Delphi, Thebes, Olympia...

916
01:30:51,071 --> 01:30:53,866
Arcadia and Sparta.

917
01:31:08,213 --> 01:31:10,757
If death comes for me today, I'm ready.

918
01:31:12,050 --> 01:31:14,052
I could lower my sword.

919
01:31:14,303 --> 01:31:16,972
There's still time for you
to ready a launch and escape.

920
01:31:21,268 --> 01:31:24,855
It would be a poor choice
to force my hand into action.

921
01:31:25,481 --> 01:31:29,193
Now order your ships to disengage
and surrender to me.

922
01:31:31,612 --> 01:31:33,280
Surrender?
