[Tenax exhales and grunts]
[physician] I came as quick as I could.
[Tenax breathing heavily]
[Tenax inhales]
Tincture of poppies.
- [Tenax exhales]
- [physician] Get his shoes.
[Tenax grunts]
[Tenax exhales groaning]
[grunts]
You're going to need it.
[breathes heavily]
[Tenax exhales heavily]
[breathing laboriously]
[tense music playing]
[grunts and coughs]
[Tenax gasps]
When I say "pull", slowly and steadily,
when I say "release", very slowly.
[Tenax sighs]
[Cala sighs, inhales]
[suspenseful music playing]
[breathing fitfully]
Pull.

- [dramatic music stops]
[Cala exhales, inhales loudly]
[suspenseful music playing]
Prepare some hot water.
[tense music continues]
[kid] What's happening?
What happened?
It was that shit, Noro [inhales]
He set him up.
He is alright.
Go!
[suspenseful music playing]
[water sloshing]
- [gentle music playing]
- [sighs]
If he moves at all, it will unset
the splint and he'll lose the leg.
Tie him down if you have to.
Three balls of resin with wine,
morning, noon and night.
He will want more.
Don't give it to him.
I understand.
If there's a hint of rot,
come get me at once.
Noro, that treacherous dog.
I should've known.
Well, he's dead now.
But the one who did this to Tenax lives,
and if he hears he has survived,
he will come back for him.
I'll post guards. Men that I can trust.
Well, keep them hidden.
Let the one who did this think he's dead.
[inhales] Now [exhales]
go to the apartment on the Cispian Hill
where he's been putting the gold.
See if it's still there.
I take orders from Tenax,
not from you, woman.
[suspenseful music playing]
When he wakes,
would you rather we tell him that we did
what he would have wanted us to do?
Or that you made all the decisions,
right or wrong,
mostly wrong?
Alright.
Woola, come!
[door opens]
After that come to the tavern.
We set up for betting like normal.
[Cala sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music continues]
[knocking on door]
[suspenseful music continues]
[persistent knocking on door]
[suspenseful music builds]
[sighs]
Where have you been?
Out.
All night?
[Aura] So it would seem.
[exhales] What happened?
Listen carefully.
Go to the tavern and open it up.
If anyone asks about Tenax
tell them he's away buying land
near the coast
but let them think you are lying.
[tense music playing]
[stammers] I I don't understand.
You are good at lying.
Pretend to be bad at it.
Some of his enemies
need to think him alive,
some need to think him dead.
[door opens]
The man who did that to Tenax
would eagerly do the same to us.
Go!
[suspenseful music continues]
[door creaks]
[suspenseful music playing]
He's gone.
So is the gold.
[Dacia sighs]
[breathing fitfully]
Stop.
Stop.
Please
- stop.
- [Cala] Shhh
Shhh wake up.
[panting]
[Cala] Wake up.
You were in a dream.
You're in your room. You're safe.
[exhales]
[intriguing gentle music playing]
I lived with a great family
when I was a boy.
The master of the house
[ominous music playing]
he liked boys.
Myself
but mostly
Ursus.
[whispers] Ursus.
[inhales] We were
Stop. This is tincture of poppies talking.
[Tenax] No.
It's me.
Ursus and I lit a fire to escape.
[man] Open up!
[Tenax] I got away
but Ursus was caught
because of me.
[suspenseful music playing]
He suffered
- but I
- You did what you had to do.
I don't know what I've done.
He needed me [voice cracks]
and I left him there.
[whimpers]
More tincture of poppies.
[sighs]
[gulps]
- More!
- That's enough.
- The physician said
- You work for me,
- not the physician.
- I work for you by obeying the physician.
[gentle music playing]
It's gone.
And no sign of this Ursus.
I sent him to see
if the gold was still there.
[Roman guard] This way.
[water dripping]
[Antonia] Husband.
You shouldn't be in a place like this.
A Roman matron should always
be at her husband's side.
Not here.
[Antonia] I tried to obtain an audience
with Titus.
He refused.
Cornelia?
I tried.
She turned her back on us.
We misjudged what giving her to the
Vestals would mean for us and Julius.
And for her.
[quiet gentle music playing]
I'm reconciled to my fate.
There must be something else I can do.
There is.
[Antonia] What?
Don't come here ever again, promise me?
[voice shaking] No.
- Think of our son
- [emotional music playing]
The only way to protect
yourself and Julius is to denounce me.
- No
- You must speak publicly,
call me a fool,
a usurper
- Curse my name, my mad ambition.
- No!
Spit on my grave.
Tell my son to do the same.
[voice shaking] No
How could I do such things? No!
We've already sacrificed too much
in the name of our august families.
It is your duty to protect our name
Your name
Julius' name.
I'm dead.
Must be forgotten
if you and he are to thrive.
The Curule Chair was not meant for me.
[emotional music playing]
But Julius
[whispering] bide your time,
confound those who would
stand in your way,
outlive those Flavian scum
and see our son risen to imperial power,
put our son on the Curule chair,
and his son after that.
- Stop. You wound me.
- Bind your wounds.
Let them scar.
[emotional music continues]
[whispering] Turn from me.
Save yourself.
Save our son
our family name.
[Antonia whimpers] No
Please. No.
[sobbing]
[Berenice] I have held my tongue
long enough.
In respect of?
You have never lied to me
you have misled me.
You had me believe
my people would be freed
when the Amphitheatre was complete
Please, please, please
[sighs] Enough
People, they were taken as a spoil of war.
They belong to Rome now.
[Titus] Senators whisper to their clients
that the Gods shook the earth
- to punish me.
- You mean me.
Perhaps though mostly me,
for taking you as my consort.
[inhales sharply] You have taken a wife
and placed me in the shadows.
What more can they ask of you?
They want you gone.
[quiet suspenseful music playing]
They do not wish for another Cleopatra,
poisoning the ear of their emperor.
That is your brother speaking, not you.
No, he's proven his loyalty to me.
No, he convinced you of his loyalty.
[sighs] He's fulfilled his duty to me,
just as I must fulfill mine.
So, I have to wait
while my people die in your
construction camps?
[sighs]
Not now
[whispering] I have my duties.
Such as?
The City of Rome.
[gentle music builds]
[Vito] Do any of you know why Antonia
called this meeting?
Does it matter?
Counsel Marsus won't be here,
the traitors are languishing away
where they truly belong.
My dear Caltonia,
I'm afraid this meeting is only
for the lead owners of the factions.
Though it pains me to say so,
you may go.
[Caltonia scoffs]
How dare you?
Your husband is imprisoned for treason
Making me lead owner
of the Blue Faction.
Now go.
But before you go, my dear
I want you all to hear this.
My husband
has betrayed Rome
and our Emperor.
He deserves to die for his crime.
From this moment on,
my husband is dead to our family,
he's dead to our son, Julius
[ominous music playing]
and he's dead to me.
You may go now, Caltonia.
[ominous music continues]
So
- [sniffs] Let us get down to business.
- [ominous music intensifies]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter in background]
What?
I thought about
what you said the other day.
And maybe you are right.
Maybe I should
have fun once in a while.
[scoffs]
Scorpus
is always right.
Let's go then.
Let's get a drink.
[Scorpus chuckles]
[woman groaning in background]
[Marcia groaning]
[groans]
- [Titus grunts]
- [Marcia pants]
[both grunt]
[both sigh]
[sighs]
[Marcia and Titus' breathing slows]
[both sigh]
Husband, you leaving?
Have that the priests pray and the augers
perform the rituals for a boy.
[inhales, sighs] If you quicken,
inform me immediately.
Otherwise send for me in a month
when you're next ready.
Open!
[door opens]
[Xenon]
My mother died when we were very young
Until then, my twin brother and I,
we had a great life.
- [Scorpus trills his lips]
- [Xenon] Farm, with horses and
everything a boy dreams of.
[indisctinct chatter in background]
But then
after my mother's death,
my father began drinking.
And later,
my brother followed in his footsteps.
They
bonded over stuff I couldn't understand.
I didn't want to un
[slurs]understand.
Hm? Yes
When did you start racing?
[slurring] I already told you,
we both did, early on.
But my brother whored around
and drank too much.
He was good.
He was very good, he was better than me.
A natural on the racetrack but
he lacked
discipline.
Just like you!
What was his name?
[slurps]
[sighs] Sextus.
Well, with a name like that
[blows raspberry, explosive laugh]
[Scorpus chuckles silently]
[Xenon snorts]
[gentle music playing]
You're funny.
- [women giggling]
- [gentle music continues]
Too much already. [inhales]
When there's cause to celebrate,
one
- should celebrate.
- [Salena giggles]
[Caltonia giggles]
So, you're certain we will prevail?
[Caltonia] My lawyers are clear.
Your shares in the
Blue faction will be yours,
and then mine.
And then
you and your son will have
the security of wealth.
I don't need wealth.
[Caltonia giggles]
You're too young to know that.
You know we all need
different things,
desire different things.
[gentle music continues]
We'll drink together
to the things we need.
[uneasy music playing]
And the things
- we desire.
- [Salena giggles]
[Caltonia laughs]
[Caltonia inhales] Mm?
[uneasy music continues]
[liquid swilling]
- Caltonia, I'm
- [Caltonia] Shhh
[uneasy music continues]
Allow me
[uneasy music continues]
[Salena whimpers]
[Salena grunts]
You think that little of me?
That I will sell myself to you?
Salena
Please, wait!
[ominous music continues]
[Caltonia, stern] Salena!
[Scorpus grunts]
[Scorpus] I need to take a piss.
[Scorpus grunts]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter in background]
Ah, that feels good.
- [urine trickling]
- [Scorpus sighs]
[Scorpus chuckles]
[Scorpus sighs]
- [urine trickling]
- [Scorpus whoops]
[Xenon sighs]
[night insects chirping]
[Xenon inhales]
[indistinct chatter in background]
[suspenseful drumming playing]
[man cackling in background]
Come. It's there.
[door creaks]
[door shuts]
Come.
[emotional music playing]
Salena.
[voice trembling] Forgive me.
We have nowhere else to go.
[Fonsoa] What happened?
- [Salena] I cannot stay where I was.
- [Fonsoa] Why?
- [uneasy music playing]
- It doesn't matter, come.
[Fonsoa] Come here.
- [gentle music playing]
- [horse whines softly]
Otho!
[Fonsoa] His name is Ferax.
- He's as fast as the wind.
- [Ferax neighs]
Here.
[gentle music continues]
[Ferax blows]
[Ferax blows]
[Ferax gobbles]
[Ferax blows]
[emotional music playing]
[women panting and groaning]
[men and women groaning]
[Scorpus sighs]
[everyone groaning]
- [prostitute giggles]
- [Scorpus sighs]
- I have come to say that I am sorry.
- [Scorpus sighs]
- Are you sure you don't want to kill me?
- [prostitutes groaning]
I never know with you.
I want you to come back
to our Blue faction.
[Scorpus and prostitutes groan]
[Scorpus] Get out. [sighs]
Go!
[uneasy music playing]
[Scorpus breathing heavily]
[uneasy music continues]
[sighs heavily]
- I knew you would come back.
- How could I stay away
from the great Scorpus?
[Scorpus grunts]
[uneasy music builds]
[both groan]
[both breathing heavily]
- [uneasy music crescendos]
- [both breathing heavily]
[music fades]
[inhales]
- [uneasy music playing]
- [Tenax yells]
[yells]
[screams]
[Tenax gasps, terrified]
[panting] Help me up!
No, no, no!
Do that now, and you lose the leg.
[frantic] Poppies.
[breathing heavily]
[inhales shakily] Come on!
[Tenax exhales]
[panting]
[grunts]
More at midday.
I'm going to go set up for the betting.
[yells]
[tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter in background]
[tense music continues]
[scorpion hisses]
[suspenseful music playing]
[scorpion pattering]
[Antonia] I'm sorry great Scorpus
but I can't have
you ride for the opposition.
[gentle, intriguing music playing]
[Cala] So, you all understand
You watch closely to see who's just lost
and you quietly offer them
reverse odds.
And for that we get a sesterce every bet.
- [Cala] Hmm.
- [kids] Yes!
As long as you don't get caught.
[kids giggling]
[sighs] Where is Scorpus?
Mother, no one is betting Gold, with only
one gold chariot running.
[indistinct chatter in background]
[ominous droning]
[indistinct chatter in background]
Order from Tenax.
Both of you are racing today.
[Fonsoa] What?
- Me?
- Mm hmm.
What about Scorpus?
Scorpus is nowhere to be found
and we need two drivers.
[Fonsoa chuckles]
- [Scorpus snoring]
- [suspenseful music playing]
[inahles suddenly]
[grunts and breathes heavily]
- [grunts]
- [scorpion's flesh crunching]
You thought you got me. But I got you.
[exhales]
- [sighs]
- [formal music playing]
[sighs]
Fuck!
[horses neighing]
[ominous music playing]
[Elia] Good luck brothers!
Ride like Sol himself.
[Passus] Chariots
ready!
[crowd clamouring in background]
[dramatic music playing]
- [horses neighing]
- [men shouting]
[dramatic music continues]
[crowd clamouring]
[Andria yells]
[yells]
Go, go, go, go!
[dramatic music continues]
[crowd reacts]
[crowd chanting]
Go!
Go!
[dramatic music continues]
[Scorpus] Move.
Move! Get out of my way.
- [bell chiming]
- [hooves thundering]
[Xenon yells]
[grunting]
- [breaking timber]
- [Xenon yelling]
[crowd reacting]
[gentle music playing]
[crowd clamouring]
[upbeat music playing]
- [bell chimes]
- [yells]
[grunting]
[yelling]
[crowd chanting]
- [crowd chanting Andria]
- [Andria grunting]
[grunting]
[crowd chanting Andria]
[man in crowd] Why isn't Scorpus riding?
[dramatic music playing]
[yells]
[crowd clamouring]
Yes! Yes!
[panting]
[Elia] Well done, Andria!
[crowd cheering]
[Gavros] Yeah! Yeah!
[sighs]
[ominous music playing]
- [breathing heavily]
- [crowd chanting Andria]
[tense music builds]
[grunts]
[exhales painfully]
[Scorpus] I was drunk
and I was fucking.
And I was bitten by a scorpion.
- It's not my fault.
- Calm down.
[sighs]
[gulps]
It's good, it takes the pressure off you.
We train alternate drivers,
in case you're bitten again.
Or you're drunk. Or you're fucking.
- Alternate?
- [Tenax sighs]
Alternate?
There is no alternate to Scorpus.
- Well yes.
- Yes.
And no.
You're more than a driver now,
you're an owner.
And we won.
Horseshit.
Was this your plan all along? Hmm?
- You want me gone?
- Scorpus
Of course not.
But the racing
has to come first.
And recently
it seems like you're more interested
in drinking and whoring.
You don't understand.
Part of racing
is drinking and whoring.
You cannot have one without the others.
It's racing, drinking, whoring:
they are a team!
Yes, like the horses.
What?
[sighs]
Racing made me rich.
I changed my name to 'Scorpus' because
nobody could pronounce my real name.
I like to drink.
Drinking makes me happy.
Happiness makes me want to fuck
and because I am famous,
I can fuck who I like.
To spurn these gifts
would be an insult to Fortuna,
she curses my driving
and Scorpus is no more.
[guard] You can't just come in here!
[uneasy music playing]
[uneasy music continues]
When were you planning to hand over
my portion of the profits?
I was told you were dead.
I'd hate to discover that rumour
were true so where is my money?
Where is our money?
[uneasy music continues]
I can explain.
Your Highness.
Your money.
Our money
is gone.
Gone
to pay extortion to someone
threatening to reveal something.
About me?
No
me.
About my past,
before I came to Rome.
- They did this to you?
- Yeah.
I don't care one piss
about your past life!
Although I struggle to imagine
it worse than this present one.
All I care about is the money I need,
the money that you owe me.
- [bones creaking]
- [yelling]
[ominous music playing]
- [bones creaking]
- [yelling]
[Tenax gasping]
- Solve this
- [breathing heavily]
now
- [grunts in agony]
- or I will
make you suffer in ways
your extortionist could only dream of.
[grunting]
[ominous music continues]
[breathing heavily]
[exhales]
And you along with him.
- Me?
- [door opens]
[stammers] No, no
[Scorpus stammers]
[receding footsteps]
What did I do?
[sighs]
You look terrible, by the way.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Want a mirror?
[better 1] No, no. Fear not.
The numbers all tally.
[ominous music playing]
So
you have gone
beyond my wildest dreams.
Come here, collect your rewards.
[kids giggle excitedly]
[Nica] It's the same yes!
[Woola] It's the Emperor.
[grunts, sighs]
- [footsteps approaching]
- [exhales painfully]
[breathing heavily]
[sighs]
Hasn't gone black,
which is good.
Where's the tincture of poppies?
I tried to find it.
Which is why I hid it.
- Bring it to me.
- No.
You overreach yourself.
That I do.
- [inhales sharply]
- And
And I overreached myself
at the races today,
as well.
We took bets after the bell.
What? They'll shut us down.
Calm down. We weren't caught.
I can't afford the risk.
[inhales through teeth]
- [grunts]
- [Cala sighs]
[Cala] Perhaps you're right.
[gentle music playing]
[Cala whistles]
[pattering footsteps]
[coins jingling]
[gentle, upbeat music playing]
[upbeat music continues]
All from today?
All right. Well,
just don't get caught.
And go and see Claudia.
- She'll give you some rewards.
- Yes!
[joyful reactions]
[gentle music continues]
We will need to renegotiate our deal.
I'm ill. Come back later.
- [indistinct chatter in background]
- [kid laughs]
Want some? It's good.
No, thank you. It's for you.
Lion killer or not,
Flamma will have him this time.
Fortuna favors the Numidian.
She spared Kwame once.
Twelve to one are favourable odds.
Even at a hundred to one,
your African is dead.
[tense music playing]
- [door creaks]
- Please.
- [Fulvus] Closed.
- Open for a price.
[sighs]
[Fulvus] What do you need? [inhales]
Atropa.
Why does everyone think
every fragrance shop sells poisons?
- This one does.
- [ominous music playing]
The edict against poisons is clear.
I have to be a fool
to go against it.
You are no fool.
But maybe
an inside line might interest you.
[uneasy music continues]
[uneasy music continues]
The line?
Bet on Kwame against Flamma tomorrow.
That's a fool's bet.
It was
[tense music continues]
before you gave me this.
[all men laugh]
[grunts]
[tense music builds]
[men muttering]
[indistinct chatter in background]
[door closes]
[owl hoots]
[guards muttering indistinctly]
[footsteps in background]

[suspenseful music playing]
[man roars in distance]
[man roars]
[tense music continues]
[man roaring louder]
[door creaks]
- [Flamma grunting]
- [woman giggling]
[Flamma] Yes!
[Flamma] Yes!
[Flamma grunts]

[ominous music playing]
[loud knocking]
Flamma! Wake up!
[ominous music continues]
[gate scraping]
[Roman guard] Come on! Up!
[Kwame grunts, breathing heavily]
Wash him down.
We want him to look his best
for his trip to Hades.
[Kwame spits, grunts]
[guards grunting]
[low, ominous sound playing]
[inhales]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[low, ominous sound continues]
[grunts]
[Flamma grunts]
[low, ominous sound continues and builds]
[Flamma grunts]
You won't forget last night in a hurry.
[giggles, inhales]
[Flamma grunts]
[guard breathes heavily, grunts]
[tense music playing]
[effort grunt]
[effort grunt]
[Atticus] We must go.
[tense music continues]
[Flamma sniffs]
[ominous music builds]
Come, let's go.
Come.
[upbeat mysterious music playing]
I let Tenax down, I've got to fix this.
I do not have a head for this right now.
Alright, I'll take care of it.
We'll find that bastard.
Let's talk about this later.
[indistinct chatter in background]
[both grunting]
Good. Good.
[Atticus sighs]
[Atticus] Gear up the Numidian.
Time to die.
- [guard grunting]
- [crowd clamouring outside]
[Viggo] He doesn't wear
that kind of armor.
[Atticus] He does now.
On order of the Aedile Ludi.
You might as well throw him to the lions
or crucify him.
He has not trained with this.
Why don't you tell the Aedile Ludi that?
[crowd clamouring outside]
If he resists,
cut him where the crowd can't see it.
[Kwame exhales, grunts]
- [Dacia] Find him?
- No.
How can a big ugly man the size of bear
with scars all over, just disappear?
I saw such a man.
- Where?
- At the fountain near the ossuary
scars everywhere.
Follow me.
[fanfare playing, drum roll]
[crowd clamouring]
