Short filmTranscript
00:30♪
00:59Persia, 2,297 years ago, a land of rock, of sand, of war. Barbaric war. For this was the
01:11kingdom of Darius, king of kings, ruler of all Western Asia. For centuries the winds
01:17of battle swept this land dry of life, until one day from Greece, from the west, came a
01:24man to bring life to the soil, and civilization, and peace. A man who was known as Alexander!
01:54♪
02:24Cut them down.
02:26♪
02:36♪
02:46♪
02:53Aretas, he's alive.
02:59Cletus, my water bag.
03:01Aretas.
03:05The others?
03:07Dead.
03:12Cleander, he...
03:14Is he alive?
03:17Here.
03:23Persians, took him prisoner.
03:28Where?
03:30Aretas.
03:32My lord.
03:34They are gathering.
03:43Vengeance, Aretas.
03:46I swear it.
03:49Butchers, to mutilate the body.
03:52It...
03:55It's nothing to them.
03:57But flesh and bone.
04:01Dies, it stinks and rots.
04:06There's no soul to these barbarians.
04:16They've slotted Cleander like this up.
04:19Teach them.
04:22By all the gods, I will.
04:30Bury them.
04:33Persians, look!
04:35They're in the hill, they have Cleander!
04:41No, my lord, it's a trap, they have Cleander!
04:43Let's go, Perseverance, or I'll take your arm with me!
04:45But they head for the mountains, you saw their campfires, like a thousand...
04:47Cleander's like a brother to me!
04:49The gods will protect me!
04:51Well, what are you waiting for? Even the gods need shelter!
05:21No!
05:51No!
06:07I thought you'd never come.
06:13You fool, Cleander, that's no way to ride a horse.
06:16It was unavoidable, my lord.
06:21What happened?
06:24I had the feeling they were waiting for us, an ambush.
06:26As if someone had told them that...
06:28Alexander, look!
06:51Let's go.
07:08Well, what about the possibility...
07:10I have nothing else to report.
07:13All we know is his last position.
07:15Here, near the tree where Cleander's men were found five days ago.
07:18Antigonus!
07:20In the mouth of the gorge, where you found signs of a skirmish.
07:23Now, if Cleander was taken prisoner...
07:26Alexander might have gone in pursuit.
07:29How far did you look?
07:31Far as I thought wise.
07:33And your wisdom, how far would that take you?
07:35What are you saying?
07:38No one questioned your report, Headless, nor your desire...
07:41to find our king.
07:44I suggest we search further north.
07:47Alexander!
07:49You will take a company of five hundred men and search through here.
07:52My lord, did you find any trace of our king Coronus?
07:54I found nothing.
07:57To the south for a hundred leagues, there's nothing but dust and enemy patrol.
07:59Perhaps further to the east.
08:01And then again north and later west?
08:03We cannot stay here forever.
08:05We've all heard the reports.
08:07The Persians gather in greater forces than ever.
08:09There are always rumors.
08:11Yes, Torrhen, but I'm speaking of facts.
08:13Sentry, bring him in.
08:16Behind this range, a sea of Persians prepares to flood down upon us.
08:19Now what do we do when they come?
08:21We're boxed in here, mountains on all sides,
08:23no place to maneuver the troops.
08:26Antigonus, we're inviting disaster, and you know it.
08:30This is no rumor.
08:33But an officer was captured last night.
08:37Tell them.
08:39How many gather in the east?
08:41The sun, it darkens in the dust of Mendon's army.
08:43Mendon?
08:45I thought he was killed last year at Issus.
08:48He will crush you as he would step on a beetle.
08:58Five kings,
09:00five nations,
09:02are now pledged to Darius.
09:04All of Persia moves toward us to trap us here
09:06and destroy us at one sweep.
09:08We must withdraw
09:10before it's too late.
09:12Back to the coast if necessary,
09:14but at least to a position we can defend against Mendon.
09:18Let's go.
09:32My General Mendon,
09:34Alexander is dead,
09:36as we planned.
09:38Show me his head.
09:40You will have it tonight.
09:42I left to report to you.
09:44Did you see him die?
09:46Alexander rode into it like a raging blind man,
09:48just like our Greek friend
09:50told us he would.
09:52Did you see him die?
09:54There was no escape.
09:56Very well.
10:00But I shall have one head tonight,
10:02his or yours.
10:08Alexander!
10:16Alexander!
10:38Marshweed.
10:40I knew he went east.
10:42It's blood.
10:44Days old.
10:48The king is dead.
10:52But how can it be?
10:56I don't believe it.
11:01Sentry,
11:03take him.
11:05Treat him gently as Alexander would have it.
11:14Mother.
11:16I can't live without him.
11:18You can and you will.
11:20He's all that matters.
11:22No, no, no, no, no.
11:24At your age, life is all that matters.
11:29When you get my age,
11:31you can be heroic.
11:35My princess.
11:37When you get my age,
11:39you can be heroic.
11:43My princess, you have a home.
11:45You're in Persia, a family.
11:47You'll be released from hostage to return.
11:49No, I belong to Alexander.
11:51Not anymore.
11:53He's dead.
11:57I know how you feel.
11:59He was like a son to me.
12:03You know, when he was a boy, he once told me
12:05I should protect him always.
12:07Not in this world, I said.
12:09I will be your protector.
12:13I should never have let him go off by himself.
12:15Antigonus, it's not your fault.
12:17I tried to reason with him.
12:21I could never hold him back.
12:23Oh, Antigonus.
12:25You loved him as much as I.
12:27I respected him.
12:29As you must.
12:31To respect him,
12:33we show our courage.
12:40Understand?
12:50There is no other choice.
12:52Antigonus has commanded
12:54in Alexander's absence before.
12:56He should assume command now.
12:58I will not leave.
13:00I will not leave Alexander's army.
13:02But you are the senior general.
13:04Yes, I am.
13:06And I bear full responsibility
13:08for my decision.
13:10My day has passed.
13:12No, I tell you I will not command.
13:16What I do is right for Greece
13:18and right for this army.
13:22With the hardships we must face,
13:24we need a younger man.
13:26One whose leadership
13:28is unquestionable.
13:30Who ranks second
13:32only to Alexander as a commander.
13:36Koronos,
13:38I speak of you.
13:41The troops will obey you.
13:46I will obey you.
13:50I pledge you.
13:53Thou will obey, and so pledge.
13:58There is no substitute
14:00for the man who sat on his throne.
14:03Alexander of Macedonia
14:05shall never be forgotten.
14:07For the first time in history
14:09because of him,
14:11Greece has no enemy
14:13facing her shore.
14:15I will try to do service
14:17to his name,
14:19but in my own way.
14:21I will build a chain of fortress cities
14:23along the coast
14:25to protect all that we have won.
14:27If I leave this army,
14:29we shall move no further east.
14:32Leave Persia to the Persians.
14:34We shall consolidate our gains.
14:36My lords,
14:39our responsibility is to Greece.
14:42We must protect her.
14:44We must return to her.
14:47Is there anyone who says no?
14:51And so be it. I accept command.
14:53Amos, order the troops to break camp immediately.
14:55Tonight we march west
14:57toward the sea and home.
15:04If you leave Koronis,
15:06I will not follow, nor will my men.
15:08You will march if I command it.
15:10Not until I find Alexander.
15:12He's dead.
15:14If so, I shall find his body
15:16and return it to Greece where it belongs.
15:18Please.
15:20A thousand men. Let me have them in a week's delay.
15:22It's a brave gesture, Aristarchus.
15:24And one that suits you.
15:27And would you ride into Memnon's camp itself?
15:29I have no fear of Memnon.
15:33Then you're a bigger fool
15:35than I thought you were.
15:42No one calls me fool.
15:46I say it.
15:50Alexander!
15:52Alexander!
16:06I expect you're worried more than any.
16:10When he got back, I told you,
16:12among horses he too is a god.
16:14Let's try his tears.
16:17Koronis!
16:21I'll dry those tears.
16:23I want a happy face. I'll be with you in a minute.
16:25Call a bathroom in first. And hot water.
16:27Buckets and buckets of it.
16:29I see the camp is being prepared to march. Why?
16:31We were given orders to withdraw
16:33or consolidate our position in case of attack.
16:35At whose command?
16:37At mine.
16:40My lord, I...
16:42I believed you to be dead.
16:44I'm surprised you think me dead so quickly.
16:46Oh, I never thought Alexander would die quickly.
16:49But five days, my lord.
16:51Five days.
16:54I...
16:56I thought it a military necessity.
17:01Gentlemen, I smell of marshweed, sand dust and sweat.
17:03I want to bathe, I want to shave
17:05and I want to rest. Least of all, I want to talk.
17:07See Cleander, he hasn't stopped talking since his rescue.
17:09For all of us, we think alike.
17:12At the order stand, we move tonight.
17:31Shall we pretend he isn't here?
17:33Would it do any good?
17:35Then I shall go
17:37and wait your call.
17:41All right, Antigonus, I admit I was wrong.
17:43I was reckless, foolish,
17:45impetuous and all the rest.
17:47That's what you want to say, isn't it? Only partly.
17:49I thought it might do for a start.
17:53Running off into the mountains alone.
17:55Alexander.
17:57Alexander, by all that's holy,
17:59you should be dead.
18:01I went after Cleander.
18:03He'd have done the same for me.
18:05For which Greece can be thankful.
18:07I admit I tempted the gods,
18:09but they're good to their own.
18:11What are you now?
18:13A god or man?
18:15Whatever suits my purpose.
18:17If one Greek lives because a Persian trembles at the sight of a god,
18:19it suits my purpose.
18:21And your own men, what are they to believe?
18:23One can sweat like a Macedonian and bleed like a Greek,
18:25they'll follow my command.
18:29All right, spit it out.
18:31You chew your tongue like a camel.
18:33Too many risks.
18:35Anything else?
18:37Yes, this order to march.
18:39What pace do we set, how far do we go,
18:41and by what route?
18:43That's it, but hotter, much hotter.
18:47What was it you said?
18:49The order to march.
18:51If you insist on talking, join me.
18:53The girls will scrub that scowl off your face.
18:55Later, Antigonus, I'll explain everything at dinner.
18:57I tell you what,
18:59invite the council of generals to dinner.
19:01We'll have a party.
19:03We'll celebrate.
19:05Celebrate what?
19:07My return.
19:09No, better yet, our departure.
19:11Anything for a celebration.
19:27Stay still.
19:29If you want to live, you do as I say.
19:34Tonight,
19:36dressed as a Greek soldier,
19:38you will kill Alexander.
19:40If he dies, you'll live.
19:42If he lives, you're dead.
19:59My lord.
20:01Turan wanted me to show him
20:03how you got away from that Persian dagger.
20:05I was curious about the principle of leverage.
20:07You can't explain it.
20:09You have to show it.
20:11No!
20:13Turan's an engineer,
20:15not a fighter.
20:17Let me show you.
20:19Oh, no, my lord.
20:21Let me show him.
20:23Let me show you.
20:25Oh, no, my lord.
20:27Let me show him.
20:29Get out!
20:31Get out!
20:45Kill him!
20:47Kill him!
20:53Good lesson, Cletus.
20:55I've always wanted to know how to fall
20:57without breaking any bones.
20:59A toast to Alexander.
21:03May all his victories be as easily won.
21:07To Alexander,
21:09who has proved, as Aesop said,
21:11a quick fox is stronger
21:13than a dumb ox.
21:17To my king and my commander,
21:19may you live
21:21as long as it is in my heart to wish it.
21:23And may you rule
21:25as long as it benefits Greece.
21:27Gentlemen, thanks for the toast.
21:31Princess,
21:33will you pleasure us
21:35with a dance?
21:37With pleasure, my lord.
21:43Doronos?
21:45You gave an order to march.
21:47Have you given any thought to a direction?
21:49I had, my lord. West.
21:51To the coast?
21:53No.
21:55Toward home.
21:57Obviously, you thought that would be my command.
21:59I would attempt to lead this army
22:01as wisely as you, my lord.
22:03Given the opportunity, of course.
22:05Of course. I'm glad we see Ido Icarus on us.
22:09What we both do
22:11is for the good of our men.
22:13I would assume.
22:19Here he is.
22:49The camp is prepared, Alexander.
22:51The men await your orders.
22:55Must they wait all night? It's getting cold.
22:57No, of course. You shall have them now.
23:01The council of generals will remain.
23:03The rest of you are dismissed.
23:05At once.
23:07Princess Ada,
23:09my apologies. I'll explain later.
23:15The army will not withdraw.
23:17The army will not withdraw.
23:19It will advance. We march to the east.
23:21The east.
23:23I have learned where Memnon's army rests.
23:25We shall advance and attack
23:27through here.
23:29It will be a forced march with two-hour rest periods
23:31every six hours. I expect the army to be
23:33at this location at the end of the first day
23:35and here on the night of the second.
23:37You will lead the light cavalry and be the first
23:39into the mountains. This will be your route
23:41through this valley. Toran, you will follow him
23:43with your catapults and other machinery.
23:45You and your lancers will follow Arastander.
23:47Antigonus, you will take the
23:49light infantry, move forward through this pass
23:51connecting with Arastander here.
23:53Coronus, you and your men will move across this
23:55range with the heavy infantry. Cletus,
23:57you will follow Coronus with your bowmen,
23:59meeting the main body of troops here.
24:01Atlas, you will follow them
24:03with the supply trains and reserve forces.
24:05I will book no delay. Are there any questions?
24:07Two days' march.
24:09How long a march after that?
24:11You shall know in time.
24:13Now, what of the battle plan?
24:15Will we know that in time, or do we
24:17fight without one? You will know it.
24:19Any others? One, my lord.
24:21Ask it. Why to the
24:23east?
24:27To the point,
24:29Coronus. We have conquered
24:31the coastline from Syria to Egypt
24:33and a thousand leagues deep.
24:35I say it is enough
24:37to protect Greece. I say it is not.
24:39Greece is not safe until King Darius is
24:41destroyed. Every time we have him
24:43within our reach, he retreats further into
24:45Persia.
24:47We cannot chase after him forever.
24:49The men are exhausted by these
24:51endless campaigns.
24:53If we continue on, we eventually
24:55will destroy our own army. And if we
24:57stop now, Persia will only grow strong again
24:59to start another war. Is that what you want?
25:01I want peace as much as you do, and we can have
25:03it for the asking. Darius
25:05would be glad to compromise. Let him keep
25:07eastern Persia.
25:09And let us keep what we have.
25:11I will not compromise with Darius.
25:13Alexander, there are
25:15not enough men in all of Greece
25:17to conquer Persia
25:19and to hold it. I did not cross
25:21the sea to conquer Persia.
25:23I came to put an end to the barbarism that wrought this land
25:25and has plagued Greece for 200 years.
25:29I came to put an end to wars forever.
25:31We cannot
25:33conquer the world!
25:35And we shall build a new one.
25:37For Greece
25:39and for all she stands.
25:43She'll build a graveyard
25:45instead. That's enough!
25:51I command this army and I say we attack.
25:59Memnon is Darius's
26:01best general. His defeat weakens all of Persia.
26:03I say we attack.
26:05Because if we do not, Memnon will.
26:09Will you follow or will you not?
26:13I follow my king.
26:15The order stand. You are dismissed.
26:17Prepare to march at once.
26:19I wish to see you in my tent.
26:25I would like you to ride with me and the horse companions.
26:27Go to Antigonus. Ask him to come to my tent.
26:29Alexander! Never mind.
26:31I have no
26:33desire to argue politics, but what
26:35kind of orders are these? By all
26:37that's holy, have you gone mad?
26:39First day, second day, you can't
26:41lead an army into battle without
26:43telling them a plan. I have no intention of doing so.
26:45Why all the secrecy?
26:47Because it's necessary.
26:49For some time now
26:51I've been aware the Persians know every move I make.
26:55Someone
26:57in our midst betrays us.
26:59Until I know who, I must keep close
27:01counsel. A traitor?
27:05Then
27:07you must tell someone your plans.
27:11Anything should happen to you.
27:13Cleander's been told everything. I can trust him.
27:19Here. Come.
27:23Drink with me and I'll tell you all I have planned.
27:25All right. But none of that
27:27sweet Persian prune juice you swallowed.
27:29Here then.
27:31Good Greek wine. With bite
27:33like a Macedonian wind.
27:43It's been too long.
27:49Much too long.
27:57My lord, I tried!
28:03This is an escaped Persian prisoner
28:05dressed in one of our uniforms.
28:09I would feel better if this, too, were Persian.
28:13But it's Greek.
28:27Come.
28:57Come on.
29:03Easy now. Come on.
29:09No.
29:11Push.
29:13Push it up!
29:15Push.
29:29Our men can't keep up this pace.
29:31How many battles are we expected to survive?
29:33If our agreement with Mennon goes
29:35through, there shall be no more battles.
29:37Our agreement means nothing unless
29:39we retreat.
29:41Retreat. And then peace.
29:43He must be killed,
29:45Coronis.
29:47Yes.
29:49How?
29:51He's surrounded by loyalty.
29:53Then loyalty must die, too.
29:55Alexander will be killed
29:57by the hand of the one he loves and trusts.
30:13Too tight?
30:15No, it's fine.
30:19You refused the physician.
30:21I told Cleander you wouldn't refuse me.
30:31My column's still up.
30:33Today's march to the rear. It can't keep up.
30:35Well, it must. Tell Atlas I want no excuses.
30:37I have told him. It was he who gave me the report.
30:39I'll tell him myself.
30:41You're in no condition
30:43to go anywhere. I'm not crippled.
30:45I've got two arms, and I'll use them
30:47both against Memnon. Not only the supply
30:49train. The army is so tired.
30:51We'll rest tonight, Antigonus.
30:53Tomorrow at dawn, we join Memnon in battle.
30:55Tomorrow?
30:57But you told me to...
30:59I would give you the plan of battle in sufficient time,
31:01and so I will now.
31:03Ada, you must go back.
31:05It's not safe. Guard! Yes, sir.
31:07He'll see you to the rear.
31:12For your tenderness.
31:17I shall pray for you.
31:19May the gods be with you
31:21until we meet again.
31:31Now let me show you the positions we'll take.
31:33I'm sure they're brilliantly conceived.
31:35Alexander,
31:37I've been up and down the line. The men are exhausted.
31:39In three days, they've marched the distance
31:41that would take any other army a week.
31:43They won't have the strength to fight tomorrow.
31:45They are Greek soldiers. They'll follow me if I command it.
31:47Of course they'll follow you.
31:49They'll all die for you.
31:51What did you want?
31:53If you commit us to battle tomorrow,
31:55we'll lose three or four thousand men in the first half hour.
31:57If I don't, we'll lose the advantage we've gained
31:59by our forced march, and Memnon will kill ten times
32:01that number. I tell you, this battle
32:03is ill-timed. You can't... You're always telling me
32:05something I can't do!
32:09What are you, my father?
32:11No!
32:13I'm only a soldier.
32:15Point out a man,
32:17tell me he is your enemy or the enemy of Greece,
32:19and I will kill him.
32:21But tell me to order my men
32:23into battle when I know they'll be slaughtered.
32:25This I won't do.
32:27I will not take that responsibility.
32:29I will.
32:33I'll lead this army to victory tomorrow,
32:35with or without you.
32:40Antigonus!
32:46If you won't share the responsibility
32:48at the front, then go to the rear.
32:53See to it that the supply train
32:55is in position.
32:57You can share that responsibility with Atlas.
33:09How many of those rope slings
33:11are you going to make?
33:13You must have made a hundred.
33:15What are you going to do, have us climb those cliffs by hand?
33:17Get some sleep.
33:19How are you going to fight tomorrow? You stay up all night eating.
33:23I don't like it.
33:25I hear Antigonus doesn't think
33:27we should attack. Who does?
33:29These mountains are nothing but a burial pile.
33:31Oh, sleep. Alexander knows
33:33what he does.
33:35I don't like it. If we saw a star fall, it's a bad sign.
33:37If a star falls,
33:39a soldier dies.
33:45Get those animals moving!
33:47Nearly there!
33:49Get them moving!
33:57I heard about the disagreement.
33:59Without my support,
34:01you're a good man, Atlas.
34:03The support of others like myself will agree with you.
34:05This battle is ill-omened.
34:07Others?
34:09Yes.
34:11We're just as willing to do something.
34:13If they knew that they could count on your help.
34:15How many are there?
34:17Enough.
34:19Do they just conspire?
34:21Or will they act?
34:23It's already set.
34:25Will you join us?
34:29I will.
34:31Good. Come, follow me.
34:35Let's go.
34:51What's he doing here?
34:53What did you tell him?
34:55He joins us. He's split with Alexander.
34:57You fool.
34:59Antigonus,
35:01I'm pleased you're joining us.
35:03I had no other choice, Corotos.
35:05That's what I like about you.
35:07We think alike. We always have.
35:09That is because we are Greek soldiers.
35:11And as soldiers.
35:13We both know that if Alexander is allowed to continue east,
35:15leading us into lands
35:17where there's no possible support,
35:19he'll destroy this army. Is that not correct?
35:21It's possible.
35:23He won't listen to me.
35:25Yes, so I've heard.
35:27And do you now know that he cannot be reasoned with?
35:31What do you have in mind?
35:33If Alexander were to die in battle,
35:35would you nominate me
35:37to command the army as before?
35:41I would.
35:43Then he will die.
35:45With one of these Persian daggers.
35:49Think, Antigonus.
35:51I love him as you do.
35:53He will die an honorable death
35:55He will die an honorable death.
35:57His body will be taken back to Greece.
35:59He will be given a hero's funeral.
36:01Then without him,
36:03we can make peace with Darius,
36:05and Greece will be safe for a thousand years.
36:09Thus we protect Greece from our enemies.
36:15But who protects her from her friends?
36:17All of us kill him!
36:25Kill him!
36:55Kill him!
37:25Kill him!
37:55It's Alexander!
37:57He's here!
37:59My general!
38:01They come from the hills behind!
38:03What is this?
38:05The Greek army!
38:07It's a few minutes away!
38:09They come from nowhere!
38:11Impossible! Only three days ago they were camping across those mountains!
38:13A week's march!
38:15I've seen them with my own eyes!
38:17So you've seen them with your own eyes.
38:19Go!
38:21Come!
38:23Come!
38:25They haven't dropped out of the skies like gods!
38:27They have found a passageway through those mountains!
38:31Alexander is clever!
38:33My horse!
38:35Armour!
38:39He has come to us,
38:41this boy king!
38:43Saved us a dusty march.
38:47Nothing has changed except that he dies sooner.
38:51What? What are you doing here?
38:53Get with your men!
39:01Well, Alexander,
39:03are these plains wide enough for your cavalry?
39:05Yes, my lord.
39:07There is room here for victory.
39:11We shall have it.
39:15His army is disordered and before this day destroyed.
39:17Get Antigonus.
39:19Send for the generals.
39:23Now we'll set the battle positions.
39:31These great traitors!
39:33They can't be loyal to their king or their enemies!
39:37It is not his plan,
39:39but we have the advantage.
39:41Alexander has tied his men in a march.
39:43While we are fresh!
39:45Stronger!
39:47Twice their size!
39:49Our cavalry will run through them like weeds
39:51on the first charge!
39:53Danish!
39:55You follow with the chariots.
39:57Cut open the hole
39:59and I will lead this army through it.
40:01And watch for Alexander.
40:03I want his head.
40:13Let's go.
40:29Memnon expected us to sit back there
40:31waiting for his attack,
40:33so we moved quickly to catch him by surprise
40:35round and behind them.
40:37By the time they attack, we'll be set and ready.
40:39They can't flank us,
40:41that's it.
40:43Aristander, move your cavalry there on that rise.
40:45The phalanx will spread out in the center.
40:47When we join with the enemy,
40:49we'll make an opening for your charge.
40:51Go now.
40:53Yes, my lord.
40:55Koronis, until Antigonus arrives,
40:57you command the right flank.
40:59Get your men in position.
41:01Questions, Koronis?
41:07Dorom, position your machinery
41:09there among those rocks.
41:11Load them full, boulders, stones.
41:13Put a squad of men on that ridge
41:15with all the rope slings we have.
41:17When the chariots charge, drop them.
41:19See those boulders? Drop them as well.
41:21Yes, my lord.
41:25Cletus, take charge of the bowmen.
41:27Put them on the cliffs to the right and to the left.
41:29At the first charge, let fly.
41:33Cleander,
41:35you take the center with the lancers.
41:37Hold it at all costs.
41:39Do you understand?
41:41Atlas will back you up
41:43with the reserves.
41:45I'll take the left flank to open up the Persian line
41:47for our standard charge.
41:49Go now.
42:01A victory.
42:07And Greece.
42:19What is it we do now, Koronis?
42:23Our plan has failed.
42:25You considered him too much.
42:27You were too loyal.
42:29Either you or I should have killed him.
42:31I loved him too much.
42:33Still, he must die
42:35before he destroys us all.
42:43Set the point.
42:45Set the point.
42:47Set the point.
42:49Set the point.
42:53Lancers, position.
42:55Lancers,
42:57position.
42:59Lancers in position.
43:01Lancers in position.
43:03Lancers in position.
43:05Lancers, position.
43:13Brave soldiers,
43:15I command you.
43:17We do not stop
43:19till the Greeks are dead.
43:25Charge.
43:33Charge.
43:37Charge.
43:39Charge.
43:41Charge.
43:43Charge.
43:45Charge.
43:47Charge.
43:49Charge.
44:01Charge.
44:05Ready, Lancers.
44:07Ready.
44:09Lancers,
44:11charge.
44:13Charge.
44:15Charge.
44:17The ropes, slings!
44:29The ropes, the slings!
44:53The ropes, the slings!
45:17The ropes, the slings!
45:37The ropes, the slings!
46:01The ropes, the slings!
46:25The ropes, the slings!
46:49And I you, my love.
47:19And I you, my love.
47:39Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
47:59Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
48:09Withdraw!
48:29Withdraw!
48:59Withdraw!
49:14I am only a soldier.
49:16Point out a man.
49:18Say he is your enemy or the enemy of Greece.
49:22And I will kill him.
49:52Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
50:12Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
50:42Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!
51:12The ropes, the slings!
51:33The ropes, the slings!
51:42The ropes, the slings!
