00:02:27In the year 217 A.D., the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius ruled over half the civilized world.
00:02:34The first sign of the fall of the empire, which was to take 200 years,
00:02:39occurred in the occupied countries to the east.
00:02:42The Queen Zenobia, who rose to the throne of Palmyra after the murder of her husband,
00:02:47King Odinatus, yearned to throw off the yoke of the conquerors.
00:02:51She swore an oath of war against the empire until freedom for her people was won.
00:02:57Her sudden attack took the Romans by surprise.
00:03:02Years of power had softened the Roman people, and there was much dissension in the forum.
00:03:07But officers and generals of the army were often recruited from the ranks of gladiators.
00:03:12So it was that the Emperor dispatched the foremost of the gladiators, one Marcus Valerius,
00:03:17to lead a Roman army against the hordes of Zenobia.
00:03:20Marcus Valerius had a plan, a clever plot to use against the Palmyrans and turn their victory into defeat.
00:03:26He allowed himself to be captured.
00:03:29In chains, he was dragged through the marketplace.
00:03:31The angry populace, triumphant now, threatened to tear him to pieces, keep insults upon him.
00:03:37He was dropped before the Queen.
00:03:39But Zenobia was implacable.
00:03:41Elated over this unexpected capture, and sure now that her oath of conquest would be fulfilled,
00:03:46she would listen to no overtures.
00:03:49All his plans had come to naught.
00:03:51The gladiator, Marcus Valerius, Consul of Rome, was sentenced not to death,
00:03:57but to slavery, that most fearful of punishments, in the dreaded mines of Palmyra.
00:04:05Faster! Faster! Move, you dogs!
00:04:17Faster, you Roman pigs! Faster! Move!
00:04:36You bastard!
00:04:50Be careful. If one dies, you'll take his place.
00:05:06And you, faster, or I'll break your bones.
00:05:31Get back! Get back there!
00:05:34You, come here and help me get him out.
00:05:48Easy now.
00:05:50Alert! All of you, hurry up!
00:05:54What happened?
00:05:56His arm is crushed. He will bleed to death.
00:05:59Stop wasting time. He's better off dead.
00:06:03I'll finish him.
00:06:08Make one move and I'll kill him.
00:06:12You, continue.
00:06:30Take him away.
00:06:33Take him away.
00:06:43Even with one arm, he might be of some use.
00:06:48My thanks.
00:06:50He is one of my soldiers.
00:06:52On the battlefield, you wouldn't have had the courage to face him.
00:06:56Now, you may take out your spite on me.
00:06:59Take him!
00:07:02Come on.
00:07:05Now, play the hero if you can. Foreign spy!
00:07:08For what you have done, I will make you suffer.
00:07:11Take him out to the cross. I'll show you.
00:07:14Up in the sun, and such a thirst that you'll ask us for death.
00:07:19But you'll pay more.
00:07:21Pay until you never forget.
00:07:23Put him up now.
00:07:25Come on.
00:07:33Water!
00:07:38Water!
00:07:41Water!
00:07:45Water!
00:07:52Water!
00:07:53Here you are.
00:08:21Water!
00:08:51Water!
00:09:21Water!
00:09:22Water!
00:09:24Water!
00:09:25Water!
00:09:26Water!
00:09:27Water!
00:09:28Water!
00:09:29Water!
00:09:30Water!
00:09:31Water!
00:09:32Water!
00:09:33Water!
00:09:34Water!
00:09:35Water!
00:09:36Water!
00:09:37Water!
00:09:38Water!
00:09:39Water!
00:09:40Water!
00:09:48Ladies, see about the horses.
00:09:50Tell the men to stay away from crowds and taverns.
00:09:53And all women.
00:09:54Our lives depend on it.
00:09:57If we are careful, we'll be all right.
00:10:00I can hardly believe we've been able to get this near to her.
00:10:16Look, Flavius.
00:10:17Here she comes.
00:10:18Julianus, a perfect time to slit her throat.
00:10:26Tullius, you would never have a chance.
00:10:28It would mean certain death for us.
00:10:31Have you made arrangements for a spy?
00:10:33With a man I know I can trust.
00:11:17He was the Roman consul?
00:11:38Yes, my queen.
00:11:39Why was he punished like that?
00:11:41He tried to overpower the guard and start a revolt.
00:11:45Go and chain him and bring him here.
00:11:53Pardon, royal queen, but Roman dogs aren't worth your compassion.
00:11:58For you to show such clemency to him.
00:12:01I did not ask for advice, Simantio.
00:12:03What's more, wait before you talk of mercy and compassion.
00:12:08Hurry up, then.
00:12:23The symbol of imperial Rome.
00:12:26Now a breath would blow him over.
00:12:34Now have you learned not to be rebellious?
00:12:37It's no surprise the torture is bestial.
00:12:40It was inflicted by your order.
00:12:42Zenobia, we know you.
00:12:44This to her majesty Zenobia?
00:12:46A rebel and a betrayer.
00:12:50This will punish your insolence.
00:12:51I hope it will.
00:12:52I'm awaiting your order for my death.
00:12:58It's useless to try to provoke me.
00:13:01I will not grant that favor for nothing.
00:13:04You must live, consul Valerius.
00:13:06Your sentence?
00:13:08You will assist in the fall of Rome.
00:13:10You will see your pride destroyed.
00:13:12A superb empire broken to bits.
00:13:16I give you my thanks.
00:13:19That means a long life, for none of us will assist in the fall of Rome.
00:13:24You're mistaken, consul.
00:13:26The Roman eagle has finished his flight.
00:13:30A lie I will not believe as I live.
00:13:35But before the end there will be bloodshed, yet Rome will live.
00:13:43Take him back to the cross!
00:14:36Bathsheba!
00:14:39Julianus!
00:14:41Oh, darling, you've come back!
00:14:51I'd given up hope.
00:14:59The gods have protected me.
00:15:09I'm so happy.
00:15:14You must be out of your mind.
00:15:19The queen has promised a reward for any Roman found in the city.
00:15:24I couldn't resist. I wanted to see you.
00:15:27I'd give my life for you.
00:15:29Have no fear for me. I can defend myself.
00:15:34Tell me, have you news of the consul Valerius?
00:15:38They haven't killed him yet, have they, Bathsheba?
00:15:40Worse. He's a slave in the mines.
00:15:51We have to get him out. I have five men with me.
00:15:55But if you're caught, the queen will have no pity.
00:16:01Do you know of any guard that we can trust?
00:16:04There is one. There's a new man called Laetor.
00:16:08He doesn't look like it, but he believes in Christianity, so maybe he will help.
00:16:15But how will he know me?
00:16:19Here. Put it on.
00:16:22But warn him that you got it from me.
00:16:27Hey, you. Are you sleeping while you guard these dogs?
00:16:31Is it your watch already?
00:16:33Yes, but I'm not like you. I keep my eyes open.
00:16:37Go on.
00:16:40I'm not going to sleep.
00:16:43I'm not going to sleep.
00:16:46I'm not going to sleep.
00:16:49I'm not going to sleep.
00:16:52I'm not going to sleep.
00:16:55Go on.
00:17:25Go on.
00:17:55Go on.
00:18:25Fire! Fire!
00:18:28Fire!
00:18:31Hurry! Get out of here!
00:18:34Move, all of you! Move!
00:18:37Hurry!
00:18:40Hurry!
00:18:53Hurry! You move!
00:19:01This way.
00:19:10Water! Bring water!
00:19:22Drop the horses! Don't let them get away!
00:19:40Valerius!
00:19:43Finally. You saved us, friend.
00:19:46Hurry up.
00:19:49I'll go with you.
00:20:00What is it now?
00:20:03I'm going back to Palmyra.
00:20:06What's that again?
00:20:07I will return to Palmyra.
00:20:11And have her put you in the mine?
00:20:13No, not again. I must do it now.
00:20:16But why? It didn't work before.
00:20:19This time it will.
00:20:21Because, she'll believe me.
00:20:24We'll turn our defeat into a great victory.
00:20:30Listen to me.
00:20:32The escape of the Roman consul is unpardonable.
00:20:36And you allowed him to get away.
00:20:39This is treason. It's pure treason.
00:20:42Why have you come here?
00:20:43Are you so proud of yourself?
00:20:45Haven't you done enough?
00:20:47Why didn't you stop him?
00:20:49I ordered him put to death.
00:20:51But you've refused to let me.
00:20:53You would do just as Rome would like.
00:20:55Oh yes, he wanted quick death.
00:20:57Let this Marcus Valerius, renowned enemy,
00:21:00be caught before the week is out.
00:21:03Do not worry.
00:21:05The liberty of Marcus Valerius shall have a brief duration.
00:21:14And remember.
00:21:16I want him alive.
00:21:28You have lost her favor, as she said?
00:21:31Yes, and my purse.
00:21:34You see how much I worry.
00:21:36You'll be able to capture him.
00:21:39A messenger from King Sappho arrived from Persia.
00:21:42Where is he?
00:21:43Up in my room.
00:21:57This is my room.
00:22:00And I'm not going to let you in.
00:22:17Do not be afraid. I won't harm you.
00:22:20You...
00:22:22Here.
00:22:23It's the only weapon I have.
00:22:27I ask only that you listen to me.
00:22:32You're mad, Roman.
00:22:33You'll never leave here alive.
00:22:36It's foolish for Zenobia to fear me.
00:22:38What do you want?
00:22:40To be your ally.
00:22:44You?
00:22:45Why not?
00:22:46To be a defeated hero is horrible.
00:22:48And the Romans will only shame me and make me a gladiator again.
00:22:53So amusing.
00:22:54Between a gladiator's death and a chance to rebuild my life,
00:22:57a choice is not difficult.
00:22:58I place my sword at your service.
00:23:01You are a traitor.
00:23:03I fought hard for Rome and the Empire all my life.
00:23:06And look.
00:23:08All that I had is gone.
00:23:09I'll be forgotten.
00:23:10No more glory. I've nothing left.
00:23:12Do you think I'm so foolish as to believe you?
00:23:15Don't you see, Zenobia?
00:23:16I can help you realize your dreams of greatness.
00:23:19Me believe you?
00:23:21When you're a dangerous enemy?
00:23:23Listen to me, Zenobia.
00:23:25Yes, a marvel of rarity.
00:23:30A gift worthy of a powerful sovereign.
00:23:34Give your magnificent sovereign my thanks.
00:23:37And confirm what we have agreed upon.
00:23:39King Sappor in person will ride at the head of his legions.
00:23:43And the victory is ours.
00:23:45He awaits only your signal to attack Palmyra.
00:23:48No.
00:23:50We must be cautious.
00:23:51Or Rome may attack us after Zenobia is defeated.
00:23:56Invade us and force our regiments out of Palmyra.
00:24:02But you tell King Sappor that I say to him,
00:24:06someday we will make of Persia the fairest of the Orient.
00:24:13You will become the most powerful man in his court and in the world.
00:24:17So may it be.
00:24:19I promise, I promise I'll always be with you.
00:24:25Can you doubt it, Erika?
00:24:49I'm not sure if you've told me the truth.
00:24:52What great help will you be?
00:24:54I know the art of warfare.
00:24:56Believe me, that is important.
00:24:58For my people, there's no need.
00:24:59Their enthusiasm is sufficient.
00:25:01Enthusiasm?
00:25:02You can't win a war with enthusiasm.
00:25:05So let me transform your army with my advice and counsel
00:25:08and you'll be invincible.
00:25:09Then you'll be able to conquer the world.
00:25:11No, no more.
00:25:13Roman battalions have learned how to make war.
00:25:15And your own soldiers are untried completely.
00:25:18Even your officers.
00:25:20How can you hope to fight off the Roman legions
00:25:23when defeat has given them a thirst for revenge?
00:25:26How long will it take them to crumble your cities
00:25:28and kill off all your forces?
00:25:30And what will the end be for your people but death?
00:25:33How can I believe you?
00:25:35What proof of loyalty can you give me?
00:25:38Proof?
00:25:39Which one of them?
00:25:41The oasis.
00:25:43The oasis of Jodhpur.
00:25:48Jodhpur
00:25:50Jodhpur
00:26:17Who are you?
00:26:18A Roman soldier who is tired of combat.
00:26:21Who is in the oasis?
00:26:2415 men.
00:26:25The only ones left in my command.
00:26:26Are you armed?
00:26:27No.
00:26:29And you men knew that we'd come to the rescue?
00:26:31It just happened that way.
00:26:34We heard that the Queen had sent troops to the desert
00:26:36to pick up the beaten Roman legions.
00:26:39What else are we but an example?
00:26:42We're tired. We've had enough.
00:26:43We're worn out.
00:26:45We can't resist any longer.
00:26:46We want a surrender.
00:26:48If you have lied, you will be beheaded.
00:26:51All right, forward!
00:27:17By now, Edo should have returned.
00:27:21If you have lied,
00:27:22the tigers at the temple will have a rich repast.
00:27:25Your tigers will have to wait in vain.
00:27:28Oh, that displeases you.
00:27:37At last.
00:27:47Now we shall know.
00:27:53Well?
00:27:55My Queen.
00:27:56What news do you bring?
00:27:57Many men were there.
00:27:58I ordered the Romans taken to prison
00:28:00and they will arrive there within the hour.
00:28:02But I came here to announce it to you.
00:28:04It was really them?
00:28:06Yes, Majesty.
00:28:07Have you killed many?
00:28:08No, the thing was very simple.
00:28:11They all had sense and no one would resist.
00:28:13My Lady, I hope the proof I have given
00:28:15is sufficient to convince you of my loyalty.
00:28:21I'd like the Queen to see proof
00:28:23that is even more convincing.
00:28:26What?
00:28:28You kill the prisoners.
00:28:34Is that your order?
00:28:36Betray my men and murder them?
00:28:38Yes, and nobody I would ask that.
00:28:43You ask me to turn assassin and I will obey, but...
00:28:47Zenobia, I want to hear it from your own mouth.
00:28:52My minister decides the fate of prisoners.
00:29:07Understand?
00:29:09That's for me to decide.
00:29:12Here.
00:29:15Use it and finish off your work.
00:29:22Go, I don't want you.
00:29:42THE END
00:29:46THE END
00:30:07Water!
00:30:08Water!
00:30:09Quiet, you dogs!
00:30:16There, that must be them.
00:30:28Sebastian, what happened?
00:30:31The rebels.
00:30:32We were attacked.
00:30:34We were defeated.
00:30:36And they escaped.
00:30:39Don't stand there, what happened?
00:30:41Speak to me, you idiot!
00:30:44We were a mile from Palmyra,
00:30:45just crossing the oasis of Tamarisi when we were assaulted.
00:30:49It happened so suddenly we had no chance to defend ourselves.
00:30:53Most of my men were lost.
00:30:54The victors took all our prisoners and fled with them.
00:30:57Who were they?
00:30:58Desert men.
00:31:00We had no choice but to flee.
00:31:01We had no choice but to flee.
00:31:03We had no choice but to flee.
00:31:05We had no choice but to flee.
00:31:07Desert men, we searched...
00:31:08Don't give me justifications.
00:31:11I want to find their commander.
00:31:13It was Laetor, the head guard of the slaves.
00:31:16You, attend to this villain.
00:31:33Do you know what this proves?
00:31:35It proves there are traitors among you.
00:31:38I suspected it, now it's confirmed.
00:31:42Simonzio, on these weapons, I'm something of an expert, you know.
00:31:48It came from Persia.
00:31:50A very familiar pattern to me.
00:31:52Yes, Persia.
00:31:53What about it?
00:31:54Oh, nothing.
00:31:56My parents were Persian.
00:31:58What do you insinuate?
00:32:00Insinuate? Not me.
00:32:02Since we have to collaborate in the glorious reign of Palmyra,
00:32:06then we have to trust one another.
00:32:17Let the high priest speak!
00:32:19Kill the virgin!
00:32:22Let justice be done!
00:32:32THE VIRGIN
00:32:45The flame that burns forever in the temple
00:32:48was in the care of the virgin Bathsheba,
00:32:50custodian of the spirit that guides our destiny.
00:32:54Yes, where is she?
00:32:56The virgin has fled.
00:32:59But the fire will burn anew in honor of San the Immortal.
00:33:03Glory to San the Immortal!
00:33:05A great sacrifice is necessary.
00:33:08The blood of the virgin must be spilled to placate the dark spirit.
00:33:19Nothing suspicious?
00:33:20Nothing.
00:33:21Where is Simon?
00:33:22Over there, pastoring the goats. He makes a fine guard.
00:33:25A brave man, not many like him.
00:33:27In the words of the master, a man that follows.
00:33:29How is Bathsheba?
00:33:30She is fine. She needs your comfort.
00:33:37Bathsheba!
00:33:45Only when you are with me, I feel safe.
00:33:47THE VIRGIN
00:33:55What now, Julianus?
00:33:58Now we are together.
00:33:59The two of us, Bathsheba.
00:34:01So much killing. Will there be more of it?
00:34:04Don't think about it, my child.
00:34:06You shouldn't. It's much better.
00:34:11Your heart is pure, Bathsheba.
00:34:13That will protect you.
00:34:15Drink, Julianus.
00:34:17Thank you, Sara.
00:34:19The desert dries our throats.
00:34:22That was good. Give me more.
00:34:40Julianus, I have just seen a formation of soldiers.
00:34:43There are many Romans to the west.
00:34:45Finally!
00:34:46Julianus!
00:34:48Let fortune guide you.
00:34:52You are my fortune.
00:35:01Watch over her, Lator!
00:35:17THE VIRGIN
00:35:28Stop! Who are you?
00:35:31A Roman soldier who wants to speak to Marcellus.
00:35:33Go ahead.
00:35:47THE VIRGIN
00:35:52A little more.
00:35:54A little more.
00:35:56That's it.
00:36:16THE VIRGIN
00:36:20Am I mistaken?
00:36:22I fought on your side, Marcellus.
00:36:26The situation?
00:36:27All is well at Palmyra.
00:36:29What about the Queen?
00:36:32The Queen's minister was...
00:36:34She was convinced that Rome was in panic.
00:36:37So she acted accordingly.
00:36:39It's bad, I'm afraid.
00:36:40You don't know how worried I am.
00:36:43In a few days, Rome will send two legions.
00:36:45Two?
00:36:47That's all I have at the moment.
00:36:49They have all of Zenobia's army.
00:36:51The catapult.
00:36:53They don't have anything like that.
00:36:55The catapult.
00:36:57We have a few surprises in store for Queen Zenobia.
00:37:00What about Marcus Valerius?
00:37:01Did his plan go well?
00:37:04There must be a way to arrange a meeting.
00:37:06I'll find a way to tell him.
00:37:15THE VIRGIN
00:37:34What is this commotion outside my palace?
00:37:37Speak up.
00:37:40The flight of Bathsheba.
00:37:42The sacred flames spent on a poor harvest.
00:37:44The people fear famine.
00:37:46And panic has made them assault the carts of provisions.
00:37:50I thought our reserves sufficient.
00:37:52But our reserves are nothing.
00:37:54In view of a counterattack from Rome.
00:37:57And you have refused to establish the necessary contacts with Persia.
00:38:01Political ties with Persia are as bad as those with Rome.
00:38:06I have made my choice.
00:38:09Rome is the one I must fight.
00:38:11She is the more perilous enemy.
00:38:13I'm counting on you, Valerius.
00:38:15At your disposal.
00:38:18Nator, before his escape,
00:38:20used to tell of a certain Jesus who multiplied
00:38:23by some miracle bread and fish.
00:38:26Tell me, Roman,
00:38:28can you accomplish a fine thing like that?
00:38:31Bread? Well, that's beyond me.
00:38:35I just rely on fighting well, not on miracles.
00:38:37That's enough.
00:38:43My people are suffering.
00:38:45If only I could help them.
00:38:48But despite the harvest, I must provide for war.
00:39:14A reward for the one who arrests the Virgin of the Temple.
00:39:18Her sacrifice will soothe my people.
00:39:44This should give you some idea of the splendor of my court.
00:39:47You are always generous, Your Majesty.
00:39:49My slaves are efficient.
00:39:51My cooks can make anything I ask.
00:39:54They seem to do magic.
00:39:57And do you really think that their magic may make for us
00:40:00an ally from a Roman?
00:40:07I'm not sure.
00:40:09I'm not sure.
00:40:10I'm not sure.

00:43:46Which Roman has any virtue?
00:43:49Don't you worry.
00:43:50He hasn't long to live.
00:43:52What are you waiting for?
00:43:54For him to gain the heart of the Queen and her power?
00:43:57Can't you see?
00:43:58She's lost her head over him.
00:44:00Yes, that will prove unfortunate.
00:44:02Soon, one day, when they awaken, she and the consul Valerius
00:44:07will be in the hands of Persia.
00:44:10© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:44:41© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:45:01Follow the road by the river to the rocks.
00:45:10© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:45:15Here is the plan.
00:45:17The Queen has assembled an army to confront the Romans.
00:45:20There will be a battle in the desert.
00:45:23Palmyra will be victorious, but weakened.
00:45:25Her forces are unable to support another attack.
00:45:28And that is the moment to attack Palmyra
00:45:31with the help of King Sappho's legions.
00:45:33Have you understood all of this?
00:45:35And if the Romans are not defeated,
00:45:37we will be confronted by two armies.
00:45:39That's not possible.
00:45:40With my plan, they'll be attacked at once, from every side.
00:45:43There's no escape.
00:45:44I see.
00:45:46In the entire zone, we have covered all the wells with dirt.
00:45:51In order that they do not die of thirst,
00:45:53the legions of the Romans will be forced to march on.
00:45:59They will be exhausted.
00:46:03We will be waiting for them.
00:46:07You will have a victory.
00:46:09It will be memorable in the history of Palmyra.
00:46:14What do you think of this plan, Marcus Valerius?
00:46:19You want a battle on the plain, in the open,
00:46:22without any possibility of maneuvering.
00:46:24Even exhausted, the Romans will have the advantage.
00:46:26You're right.
00:46:27Your plan is too risky, Simantio.
00:46:29In fact, it's only the appearance that you see.
00:46:33That's what I count on, Zenobia.
00:46:36The hope that the Romans will think like Valerius.
00:46:39And attack us with the certainty of victory.
00:46:42The forces that await them are only part of our army.
00:46:47The others are hidden.
00:46:49Here.
00:46:52Behind the gorge of Jaffa.
00:46:58And while the Romans are occupied at the front,
00:47:02we will attack with the cavalry from the rear.
00:47:05It will be a slaughter.
00:47:09And this time, we'll spare not a single one.
00:47:14Do you still think my plan naïve, consularious?
00:47:20You are wise to remember the imperial army.
00:47:24Only a miracle can deprive you of a victory now.
00:47:27No more said.
00:47:29Because now you've command of the guard.
00:47:31We'll fight side by side, my Romans.
00:48:09What is it?
00:48:10The priestess.
00:48:12We'll put out the altar flame.
00:48:13Later!
00:48:15No! No!
00:48:17Let me go!
00:48:39Let me go!
00:49:02What are you looking at?
00:49:04The sand dunes in the sunset.
00:49:07Now time is nothing.
00:49:11The ruins of the ancient cities of the past.
00:49:15Let's walk.
00:49:19Whose tombs are these?
00:49:21Ancient kings of Palmyra.
00:49:23They too once lusted.
00:49:25And now, all their passions are sealed in these tombs.
00:49:29If they had thought of death more often,
00:49:32they would have enjoyed life more.
00:49:34Perhaps if they loved life too much,
00:49:37they would not have left us these vestiges.
00:49:39Now Palmyra aspires to a mighty destiny.
00:49:46You yourself have said that everything falls to dust,
00:49:49the power of a king and his pride.
00:49:52That's true, Valerius.
00:49:57Palmyra will turn to dust even if the Romans win.
00:50:01Am I a fool then?
00:50:03Would it make any woman happy
00:50:05to be remembered for that
00:50:07when her heart is lonely?
00:50:11What's that?
00:50:14The nightingale of the desert.
00:50:17A good omen, that somehow.
00:50:19Why? What is the omen?
00:50:22Love for a warrior.
00:50:33Oh, look.
00:50:41Even in the desert there is beauty.
00:50:44They say that in each lotus is the spirit of a woman loved.
00:50:49And is there a queen among them?
00:50:51Perhaps.
00:50:53But I don't think so.
00:50:55I don't think so either.
00:50:57I don't think so either.
00:50:59I don't think so either.
00:51:00I don't think so either.
00:51:03In that one then.
00:51:07I'll try.
00:51:33Here.
00:51:35A flower for the queen?
00:51:37No.
00:51:38It is for the woman.
00:52:03It's all right. That arrow wasn't sent to you, but to me.
00:52:09A Roman arrow.
00:52:11Shall we keep it for a souvenir?
00:52:13Let us go. It's not safe here.
00:52:33THE END
00:52:59Hail, Lator.
00:53:00Hail, Marcus Valerius.
00:53:01Consul Valerius.
00:53:03Hail, Julianus.
00:53:04You found a curious way to let me know Marcellus arrived.
00:53:07He's there.
00:53:14I salute you, Valerius.
00:53:15Hail, Marcellus.
00:53:19I'll tell Rome I saw you in Palmyra in clothes.
00:53:21It'll amuse them all.
00:53:26The perfume is oriental.
00:53:29How are you coming along with the queen?
00:53:32Has she submitted yet?
00:53:33You make a joke of it.
00:53:35Why don't you get to the point?
00:53:37Even though I'm dressed like a fool, I'm still a Roman.
00:53:40I know that, Valerius.
00:53:42And I'm ready to give you command of the two legions they have sent from Rome.
00:53:47I'm honored.
00:53:49Two legions.
00:53:51But Palmyra disposes of double the troops.
00:53:54I know it.
00:53:55But don't forget the valor and discipline of the Roman.
00:53:58You should see them. They're splendid.
00:54:00And prepared to make sacrifices for you, too.
00:54:03Can they go without water?
00:54:04Yes.
00:54:05We're forced to cut our supplies.
00:54:07And we find the roads obstructed and almost impassable.
00:54:11But even that will not stop us.
00:54:13Or keep us from the river.
00:54:14And at the river, you'll find the enemy waiting.
00:54:17No, the site will just improve our legionnaires.
00:54:20Put them there and they'll fight through to the death.
00:54:22That's what the Palmyrans are counting on.
00:54:25When they have you busy, they attack.
00:54:27From the rear, from the gorge of Jaffa.
00:54:30There's no hope.
00:54:31Are you sure? Can I depend on that information?
00:54:33I'm positive.
00:54:34They're already camped at the edge of the river.
00:54:36It's what I've dreamed about.
00:54:37To see them in a trap with no way out.
00:54:41And I'll owe the victory all to you for that bit of information.
00:54:44I'm very flattered.
00:54:47But...
00:54:48I have my conscience to contend with.
00:54:52Valerius.
00:54:53What does that mean?
00:54:55Don't you know this information was received in confidence
00:54:58from the woman I love?
00:55:01Yes, Marcellus.
00:55:02I love Zenobia.
00:55:05Oh, why did I outlive my defeat?
00:55:10Wait, Valerius.
00:55:12You're forgetting something that's vital.
00:55:15We're soldiers and nothing belongs to us.
00:55:17Not life, not even love.
00:55:19Oh, can't we have a victory?
00:55:21Without this orgy we've set up?
00:55:23What are you trying to say?
00:55:25Marcellus.
00:55:26You see...
00:55:28I'm certainly able to convince Zenobia
00:55:30to renounce all her absurd efforts.
00:55:33She may have an impulsive heart.
00:55:35You may be right.
00:55:36But I know I can persuade her to come and listen.
00:55:38She'll waste my time.
00:55:40A few hours, maybe.
00:55:41But my men must use those few hours.
00:55:44You must understand that.
00:55:46Tomorrow we start.
00:55:48Yes, Marcellus.
00:55:50Tomorrow.
00:55:52What a victory for you, Valerius.
00:55:53And what a price you will pay.
00:55:56I'm a soldier.
00:55:59Goodbye.
00:56:00Goodbye.
00:56:18What's the matter with you?
00:56:20Nothing.
00:56:22Nothing?
00:56:24Perhaps it's the suffocating heat tonight
00:56:27that makes me feel impatient.
00:56:30You must tell me what's wrong.
00:56:32I'm preoccupied.
00:56:34The imminence of the battle.
00:56:36With that plan of Samancio's which isn't as...
00:56:38What are you saying?
00:56:41Have no fear.
00:56:42We have to win.
00:56:45Shadows are haunting me.
00:56:52But smile at me and send them away.
00:56:58Stay with me.
00:56:59Dawn is still far away.
00:57:02Even the Queen cannot distract this general from his work
00:57:05on the eve of battle.
00:57:15The Queen loves you.
00:57:18And I love you too.
00:57:21You're so beautiful.
00:57:35Something is wrong.
00:57:37I can see it in your eyes.
00:57:38No, don't look away.
00:57:41Look at me.
00:57:43What's troubling you?
00:57:45Shadows.
00:57:46I told you.
00:57:51I'm going for a walk.
00:57:54To see if everything's all right.
00:57:58Now rest well.
00:58:22You hear that?
00:58:24They're changing the guard.
00:58:26I'd better be there.
00:59:52I know that Palmyra will give help.
00:59:55They'll do whatever I want them to.
00:59:58Give me whatever I need.
01:00:01Or maybe we'll use other methods.
01:00:04Whatever you want will be quick.
01:00:07In a moment.
01:00:08You'll wait here for me.
01:00:10And the Roman?
01:00:11That's true.
01:00:12It's your job.
01:00:14A job that certainly pleases me.
01:00:17Valerius is the only obstacle that stands in the way of our victory.
01:00:21He's in the way of my plan.
01:00:23When we have gotten rid of him.
01:00:26Then regardless of the outcome of the battle.
01:00:28Persia will have the advantage.
01:00:31King Sapor is strong.
01:00:33And his army is ready.
01:00:35When I give the signal they will occupy Palmyra.
01:00:40To have such wealth and power.
01:00:42How comforting that will be.
01:00:44Remember then your most faithful servant.
01:00:47Accomplish the mission you have taken.
01:00:50And you will see my generosity.
01:00:52Have no fear.
01:00:53The Roman will be dead by tomorrow.
01:00:56Go now.
01:01:15It's tense if you say a word.
01:01:20Let me go, please. Let me go.
01:01:22I know nothing.
01:01:23Go on, walk.
01:01:24Please, let me go.
01:01:25No.
01:01:27What is the meaning of this?
01:01:29I bring you the servant of a traitor.
01:01:32Speak up.
01:01:33Tell the Queen what Samancio is planning to do.
01:01:36Pity.
01:01:37Pity me.
01:01:38Talk.
01:01:40I only obey the law, a slave's obedience.
01:01:42Speak up, go on.
01:01:44King Sapor is all prepared.
01:01:45With his legions located at the foot of the Oro.
01:01:48More every day.
01:01:49At the orders of Samancio.
01:01:51With those legions he shall win if we have war.
01:01:57Samancio.
01:02:00A traitor?
01:02:02Yes, that is true.
01:02:04And so is the rest.
01:02:07Who killed King Odonato?
01:02:09The arrow was Roman.
01:02:10But the murderous hand was yours and Samancio gave the order.
01:02:13No.
01:02:15Pity.
01:02:16Pity.
01:02:17Pity.
01:02:19I only obeyed orders.
01:02:20Pity my Queen.
01:02:22Swine, why don't you kill him?
01:02:23Guard.
01:02:26Take out this carrion.
01:02:28No.
01:02:29And see that he's dead before dawn.
01:02:31No.
01:02:32No.
01:02:33No.
01:02:43My friend King Sapor II of Persia
01:02:46has many messages of sympathy and has said once again
01:02:49he'd like comradeship between us all.
01:02:52But Zenobia's temper breeds temper.
01:02:55King Sapor was never trusted by the Romans.
01:02:59And now his anger is formidable.
01:03:02Only he and all his soldiers
01:03:05if they will come
01:03:07can save our city.
01:03:08But we can't do that.
01:03:12You must decide quickly.
01:03:17What is the news?
01:03:18The Consul Marcus Valerius has abandoned the camp.
01:03:25Summon all the men.
01:03:26Strike down my tent.
01:03:28We've only a few hours.
01:03:31I'm going to surprise the Roman army at the gorge of Jaffa
01:03:33before they advance on my territory.
01:03:36Go fast.
01:06:16Fire!
01:06:41Gideon!
01:06:44Restima!
01:06:46Restima!
01:07:11Hurry, let's get out.
01:07:16Let's go.
01:07:46Let's go.
01:08:46Let's go.
01:09:16Let's go.
01:09:46Let's go.
01:10:16Let's go.
01:10:46Let's go.
01:11:16Let's go.
01:11:46Let's go.
01:12:16Let's go.
01:12:46Let's go.
01:13:16Let's go.
01:13:47Halt!
01:13:48Stand by.
01:13:52Forward.
01:14:16Forward.
01:14:46With someone else, the blow would have been mortal.
01:14:48Only a man like that could have survived it.
01:14:52But he suffers more.
01:14:53Well, he has a fever. The crisis has passed.
01:14:56Should he be taken with us?
01:14:57Well, I think he could travel.
01:15:17Forgive me, Zenobia. I'm forced to disturb you.
01:15:19Excuse me.
01:15:20Why do you apologize?
01:15:22You have the power now, and I'm only a prisoner.
01:15:26What privileges have I now?
01:15:29Certainly, the respect to a woman.
01:15:32Only the gravest of motives would force me to intrude on your privacy.
01:15:36I am ordered to take you back.
01:15:39I am ordered to take you back.
01:15:41Back to Rome, I mean.
01:15:43Must the Queen suffer humiliation as part of your triumph?
01:15:47I know you find it cruel, Zenobia.
01:15:49But you know the conditions of peace.
01:15:51Well, you shall see me relinquish that triumph.
01:15:53Even more than that.
01:15:55With the man I've shared everything with.
01:15:57Counsel Marcus Valerius.
01:16:11Are your people such fools they will honor traitors?
01:16:16It pains me to hear betrayers spoken of a man as brave as Marcus Valerius.
01:16:20You will see.
01:16:22Marcus tried to persuade you to plead for peace with me.
01:16:25But you do not remember this.
01:16:27For you, he exposed the traitor, Samancio.
01:16:29And although he abandoned you, it was not to fight.
01:16:31To be sure you survived.
01:16:34For you, he wanted to show his respect.
01:16:36To save an adored lady.
01:16:40The horrors of defeat that might prove to be fatal.
01:16:42For you, he acts.
01:16:44And we pleaded that he change his generous plans.
01:16:46We pleaded that he change his generous plans.
01:17:16The End
01:17:34This was a war we never wanted.
01:17:36Under the able guidance of King Odonato,
01:17:38Palmyra knew many years of peace and prosperity.
01:17:42It was only after the tragic death of our friend
01:17:44that Palmyra was wracked by strife and misery.
01:17:48But Rome never forgets her old allies
01:17:52and her faith in Bathsheba.
01:17:54And trusts she will continue the excellent rule of her dead brother.
01:18:01Go.
01:18:09By the gods who hear me, I plead with you, Aurelianus
01:18:11and with the Senate of Rome
01:18:13in favor of Zenobia.
01:18:15The court will hear, Marcus Valerius.
01:18:17Zenobia rebelled against Rome
01:18:20solely because there was a traitor beside her.
01:18:23Knowing that war with Rome would weaken Palmyra
01:18:25and make her an easy prey to Persia,
01:18:27this man offered his plan to Zenobia.
01:18:31When you judge, I ask you to consider
01:18:33the request of a council of Rome.
01:18:36I ask you to pardon Zenobia.
01:18:38I ask the Senators of Rome,
01:18:40shall we decrease slavery or freedom?
01:18:43How do you vote?
01:18:45I say...
01:18:47to free her.
01:18:49Free her!
01:18:51Free her!
01:18:53Free her!
01:18:55Free her!
