00:14:56,139 --> 00:14:57,573
This is the man I spoke of.

I thank you.

190

For centuries, our families

191
00:15:26,636 --> 00:15:29,772
have been charged
with protecting
our beloved city and Empire

192
00:15:29,872 --> 00:15:32,575
from those
who would anger the Gods.

193
00:15:32,675 --> 00:15:37,380
Yet now their terrible verdict
rains down from the sky.

194
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,516
And we all know, that with
the Vestal flame extinguished,

195
00:15:40,616 --> 00:15:44,387
we are no longer protected
by Vesta and the Gods,

196
00:15:44,487 --> 00:15:48,324
and this could truly be
the end of times.

197
00:15:48,424 --> 00:15:52,128
So I ask myself, brothers,
what has changed

198
00:15:52,228 --> 00:15:55,198
since the happy days
of the past?

199
00:15:55,298 --> 00:15:57,667
And I can find
no other answer but...

200
00:15:59,869 --> 00:16:01,838
that we have a new Emperor.

Just consider an Emperor

206
00:16:13,583 --> 00:16:17,420
who favors the country
over Rome itself,

207
00:16:18,388 --> 00:16:21,758
and who lies with a heretic
Judean Queen.

208

his Judean Queen,

211
00:16:28,798 --> 00:16:32,635
His taking a Roman wife only
further compounds his crime,

212
00:16:33,803 --> 00:16:35,438
for the Judean viper

213
00:16:36,005 --> 00:16:38,040

I know, because I'm one of them.

and I know what they crave,

and I can devise entertainment
that will feed that craving.

357

They're more base
than you can imagine.

00:26:07,643 --> 00:26:09,245
Very well, a test.

a conference with you.

544

Tell him I'll be there
first thing in the morning.

545

546
00:39:21,304 --> 00:39:22,438
now.

00:39:33,082 --> 00:39:34,016
Tenax is here.

548
00:39:38,354 --> 00:39:40,456
Excuse me, brother,
one of my clients.

549
00:39:45,194 --> 00:39:46,763
Out!

550
00:39:48,965 --> 00:39:50,967
I thought I would collect
my winnings in person.

551
00:39:51,501 --> 00:39:53,202

556
00:40:16,426 --> 00:40:18,928
You! You stole my driver.

557
00:40:19,028 --> 00:40:20,930
You'll have to talk to Scorpus
about that.

558
00:40:21,030 --> 00:40:22,665
Scorpus made a deal.

559

He belongs to

560

you should pay your men more.

you think the Gods have
anointed you to lead?

00:40:43,152 --> 00:40:44,387
You're wrong.

568
00:40:44,487 --> 00:40:47,090

573
00:41:12,648 --> 00:41:15,318
Tenax! Are you just
going to leave

574
00:41:15,418 --> 00:41:17,120
without giving me
my share from today?

575
00:41:18,588 --> 00:41:19,655

Tenax.

597
00:42:46,743 --> 00:42:48,077
A criminal.

598

Yes.

600
00:42:53,249 --> 00:42:56,119
He owned my eldest daughter
as a slave.

I bought her freedom,

602
00:42:58,888 --> 00:43:00,823
and now she and I work for him.

603
00:43:00,923 --> 00:43:03,259
He carries the stench
of his crimes.

604
