00:00:56 In ancient times,
00:00:57 there arose in the lands between
00:01:01 a powerful kingdom
00:01:15 And for generations, her elite
00:01:20 held sway over
00:01:30 Bound by their code of honor
00:01:34 rather than abandon
00:01:37 they became prized as the personal
00:01:57 Most renowned among
00:02:02 But as for
00:02:04 Ashur refused to allow
00:02:07 for the honor of joining
00:02:10 I must follow my faith and I forbid
00:02:16 You think it's
00:02:20 Well, it's not.
00:02:23 I've done some things
00:02:27 I promise you
00:02:29 But like
00:02:31 Mathayus paid no heed
00:02:42 You 24 boys are here to show your skills
00:02:47 in the art of fighting.
00:02:51 Only 12 of you will
00:02:56 and train for six long years to
00:03:07 A Black Scorpion!
00:03:12 Ready!
00:03:18 Advance to combat!
00:03:35 Show some mettle if you
00:03:39 Mercy is weakness!
00:03:50 Layla?
00:03:51 I thought your father...
00:03:52 I snuck out.
00:03:54 I'm crazy?
00:03:57 I can fight
00:03:59 Oh, really?
00:04:01 Prove it!
00:04:20 Girls are forbidden
00:04:27 Leave her alone!
00:04:29 Little vermin!
00:04:31 Get him!
00:04:36 Get him back here! Where
00:05:03 You dare dishonor
00:05:06 Lay a hand on him and you
00:05:11 Arm yourself.
00:05:14 I'm not in the mood
00:05:19 Father!
00:05:36 Arrest them both!
00:05:39 And the girl.
00:05:41 King Hammurabi!
00:05:43 They make a mockery of the
00:05:46 the commander
00:05:47 That may be, Sargon.
00:05:50 But Ashur has earned
00:05:54 I am in your debt,
00:05:57 And you may repay it
00:05:59 by sending your boy to
00:06:03 If he makes half the
00:06:06 he'll serve the nation well.
00:06:15 You will pay for this.
00:06:17 I promise.
00:06:30 The king's general, Sargon, had
00:06:34 And now, his hatred knew no bounds.
00:07:11 Father!
00:07:27 Though he had no proof,
00:07:31 who had done
00:07:33 He vowed to master
00:08:06 You fight
00:08:19 Six years had passed.
00:08:22 Mathayus had left Nippur a
00:08:27 And as he would shortly learn,
00:09:55 For these six years past, you have
00:10:00 but blade,
00:10:03 You have trained hard.
00:10:06 Some have fallen
00:10:09 Those who
00:10:12 represent the pinnacle of generations
00:10:17 the Order of
00:10:19 Go forth proudly to wherever
00:10:24 Fight nobly!
00:10:27 Bring gold to
00:10:29 and honor to
00:10:52 Oh, Mom!
00:10:59 Look at you.
00:11:02 I barely recognized you.
00:11:06 Mathayus! Mathayus!
00:11:08 Mathayus!
00:11:13 What do they
00:11:16 I see you've grown, too.
00:11:17 He eats Enki's portions
00:11:20 Where is Enki?
00:11:23 He ran away
00:11:25 He's left to
00:11:27 He'll be back.
00:11:36 Well, well, look at the
00:11:40 I see you've come
00:11:43 I can take you on
00:11:50 Does that sting?
00:11:52 Only if you
00:11:54 All turn and hail
00:11:56 Sargon, your king!
00:12:01 Present King Sargon!
00:12:10 I heard rumors.
00:12:11 You heard the truth.
00:12:12 Hammurabi's death was no
00:12:16 Such talk is dangerous.
00:12:48 Careful with your words.
00:13:11 Our top graduate, Sire.
00:13:14 You look familiar.
00:13:17 I think not, Sire.
00:13:20 Ashur was his father.
00:13:21 Ah.
00:13:24 Your father was a skillful
00:13:28 I trust you will
00:13:32 Send him to
00:13:35 I may have a special
00:15:02 You call
00:15:06 Get up!
00:15:09 You better show me
00:15:14 Is that all you've got?
00:15:27 You're nothing.
00:15:47 Don't just stand there.
00:15:49 Come to me.
00:16:01 There's no place for timidity now that
00:16:07 You're wondering
00:16:10 One for each man
00:16:15 You'd like a few of
00:16:20 If they deserve
00:16:24 We all deserve to die.
00:16:25 The only question is in
00:16:28 As a member of
00:16:30 it'll be your job to insure
00:16:37 Your personal bodyguard?
00:16:39 It's a great honor,
00:16:42 Beyond the skill and
00:16:45 the first requirement is an absolute
00:16:50 your king.
00:16:54 Show him what I mean.
00:16:57 Hail Sargon!
00:17:04 Are you capable
00:17:07 I...
00:17:13 Yes,
00:17:14 Sire.
00:17:16 Good. Then riches and
00:17:20 But, Mathayus,
00:17:24 and you will pray to the
00:17:27 We'll talk again
00:17:54 Pick one for the night. Or two or three.
00:17:59 Don't wear yourself out.
00:18:01 Or three.
00:18:39 I hear you're
00:18:42 I'm not quite polished yet, Sire,
00:18:45 I like you, Mathayus.
00:18:48 Bring in the prisoner.
00:18:51 He was overheard
00:18:57 And the punishment is death.
00:19:02 Wait. But this is my...
00:19:04 You do the deed yourself,
00:19:06 you prove your loyalty to me
00:19:09 I'll permit you
00:19:15 Mathayus! I'm sorry.
00:19:20 Is this true?
00:19:24 Did you slander the king?
00:19:26 Mathayus! Please!
00:19:27 Answer me!
00:19:29 Are the charges true?
00:19:32 Yes.
00:19:34 Then you deserve
00:19:36 You've not only betrayed your
00:19:41 And you've disgraced
00:19:47 Whatever you do,
00:20:02 Run, Noah!
00:20:11 I said run!
00:20:13 No!
00:20:15 We stand
00:20:25 Mathayus, behind you!
00:20:45 You killed my father.
00:20:49 This is for him.
00:20:57 Your father was a traitor.
00:21:00 As are his sons.
00:21:02 Turnabout's fair play.
00:21:15 Let's go!
00:21:23 Kill them!
00:21:28 Noah, come on!
00:21:33 Come back! Stop!

00:25:38 Congratulations.
00:25:40 You think it's funny.
00:25:41 Well, I don't know who smells
00:25:45 Mathayus, I just want
00:25:49 And battle.
00:25:52 There's one small problem.
00:25:54 You're not a man.
00:25:55 Thanks for noticing.
00:25:58 Hey!

00:26:44 Ticket to Egypt, please.
00:26:46 Ticket to Egypt for one.
00:26:48 Ten pieces.
00:26:50 Ten? That's pretty steep.
00:26:52 Plus one for insurance.
00:26:54 And I highly recommend it,
00:26:56 hostile natives
00:26:59 Just the ticket.
00:27:05 Piracy has already

00:27:20 Liar. Greek.

00:27:30 To the land of the
00:27:32 Ten pieces.
00:27:38 Ticket.
00:27:55 You are following me.
00:27:57 Admit it.
00:27:59 You know, this may come
00:28:01 but not everything in the
00:28:04 Then why are you
00:28:06 Because...
00:28:08 Everyone should go and see the
00:28:12 Why are you going to Egypt?
00:28:15 Personal matters
00:28:17 which don't concern you.
00:28:19 Don't play coy with me. You know
00:28:27 All right.
00:28:28 My father once fought for the pharaoh's
00:28:31 So, I'm going to ask if in
00:28:34 the Spear of Osiris
00:28:38 The Pharaoh of Egypt
00:28:41 is going to lend one of the
00:28:44 to a 19-year-old kid
00:28:47 I don't remember
00:28:49 Actually,
00:28:51 I'm afraid she's right.
00:28:55 But mainly for the simple
00:28:58 is only effective
00:29:00 Such as the winged scarab,
00:29:05 And you know this how?
00:29:08 Let's just say
00:29:10 Really? And who
00:29:14 Aristophanes of Naxos.
00:29:16 Not to be confused with the
00:29:20 I speak 20 languages fluently
00:29:23 So if you need
00:29:25 Yes, yes. How did you learn
00:29:28 I am a poet and playwright by
00:29:32 And was most recently court
00:29:37 Petty despot. May he rot in the
00:29:41 And learned of it from
00:29:44 But you are thinking
00:29:47 To defeat a man like Sargon,
00:29:51 one would require
00:29:55 Like?
00:29:57 Let's see.
00:29:59 There's the Hammer of Zeus.
00:30:02 The Shield of Cronos.
00:30:04 The Cloak of...
00:30:06 I've got it!
00:30:11 The what?
00:30:13 Damocles. You know.
00:30:17 The one condemned to die
00:30:18 by the very hand of the sword
00:30:25 What do they teach you in
00:30:28 Not to touch
00:30:31 Well, in any case,
00:30:33 according to Book Five
00:30:36 Damocles' infamous sword was
00:30:40 into a wondrous weapon whose
00:30:44 Mortal or immortal.
00:30:46 And presented as a gift to
00:30:50 You're saying this sword
00:30:53 Oh, please.
00:30:55 Anything.
00:30:58 And you know
00:31:00 This has to be the most harebrained
00:31:03 and that is saying plenty.
00:31:05 Oh, and you
00:31:09 Okay. I've decided.
00:31:12 We're gonna continue
00:31:15 And you're gonna lead me
00:31:18 My friend, such a journey
00:31:22 The Underworld is a grim and
00:31:25 suffering unspeakable...
00:31:26 How much do you want?
00:31:28 Exclusive rights to compose
00:31:31 and one hundred silver
00:31:33 Wait. A hundred?
00:31:35 For risking my life,
00:31:41 A lady doesn't part
00:31:45 Here we go.
00:31:46 First of all,
00:31:48 Wait. Forget it.
00:31:49 Second, you will treat me
00:31:53 If not, your superior.
00:32:03 Thirty-fifth, you will launder my
00:32:09 Forty-seventh, you will bathe and
00:32:13 Don't push it.
00:32:17 Hey, Greek.
00:32:18 Call me Ari, my sweet.
00:32:19 In case you get any funny
00:32:22 or making off with my
00:32:24 Akkadian women are just as handy
00:32:27 I'm sure that's not the only
00:32:30 whose beauty makes even
00:32:33 Hey, save your flowery words
00:32:36 Focus on the task at hand,
00:32:38 which is getting
00:32:43 Alive.
00:32:48 Of course.
00:33:16 Perhaps, Layla here might
00:33:18 to distract the guards
00:33:28 This I have to see.
00:33:30 Hi, boys. Nice night, isn't it?
00:33:32 Concubines around back.
00:33:38 Nice. She is quite the charmer,
00:33:40 isn't she?
00:33:47 You should see her
00:33:49 Hmm.
00:33:50 Guys!
00:33:52 Come on, let's go.
00:33:59 These keys should get
00:34:01 But then we need
00:34:03 The portal to the Underworld
00:34:06 Get down!
00:34:16 Let's go.
00:34:22 Intruders

00:34:50 Come on!
00:34:53 Ow! Watch your sword.
00:34:54 I think
00:34:56 I think it's a lever.
00:34:57 Hey,
00:35:17 Are you all right?
00:35:18 Yeah.
00:35:21 I'm fine, too. Thank you.
00:35:24 Who are you people?
00:35:30 Why are you imprisoned here?
00:35:53 He says they are
00:36:04 All brought here
00:36:07 The what?
00:36:09 What do I expect from people
00:36:17 The Minotaur.
00:36:19 A creature
00:36:22 A crazed monster whose appetite must

00:36:50 Speak up sooner next time. We
00:36:56 Who will join me
00:37:21 You'd rather
00:37:23 and squeeze out a few
00:37:24 than die fighting honorably
00:37:27 My friend, you are wasting your breath.
00:37:32 Then it's the three of us.
00:37:36 I would just
00:37:38 No doubt.
00:37:48 At least
00:37:50 Nice.
00:38:01 This way.
00:38:13 Stay behind me.
00:38:16 As you wish.
00:38:18 I've never heard those

00:38:54 Don't be ridiculous.
00:38:57 You?
00:38:59 Please.
00:39:19 Did you hear that?
00:39:24 Which way is it?
00:39:34 Let's go this way.
00:39:39 Okay.
00:39:51 That Akkadian
00:39:54 Who was his father?
00:39:58 A famous mercenary
00:40:05 I was afraid of that.
00:40:12 Men.
00:40:15 Illyrian honor calls.
00:40:27 Yeah, I was afraid of that.
00:41:17 I feel like we're going in
00:41:25 What
00:41:27 It smells like death.
00:41:57 What?
00:42:01 What?
00:42:06 Stay back.
00:42:10 Here.
00:42:11 Where are you going?
00:42:13 Now I'm scared.
00:42:16 Let's go.
00:42:18 Now!
00:42:20 Shouldn't we
00:42:22 He's out of his mind.
00:42:24 Or not.
00:42:36 You've gotta be kidding me.
00:43:11 Layla!
00:43:18 Ugly old slab of beef!
00:43:19 Your mother was a cow!
00:44:34 Don't worry.
00:44:36 It didn't go too deep.
00:44:39 A little higher up and you
00:44:42 A little higher up and
00:44:50 You'll be okay.
00:44:52 Wait here.
00:45:01 Your silence is praise enough.
00:45:09 That was you?
00:45:13 Music has charms
00:45:17 Say, that's good.
00:45:26 I'm sorry for your loss,
00:45:28 but most grateful
00:45:31 It was a debt
00:45:36 We fought together in the
00:45:39 And he saved my life.
00:45:45 Your debt is repaid then.
00:45:48 Damn right it is.
00:45:52 Where we're going we could
00:45:55 There's strength in numbers
00:45:59 Where?
00:46:01 Tell him.
00:46:03 You tell him.
00:46:08 I'll tell him.
00:46:09 The Underworld.
00:46:11 Oh, the Underworld.
00:46:13 There's a portal inside the
00:46:17 Well, good luck to you.
00:46:22 No one has ever returned
00:46:25 Gilgamesh did it.
00:46:27 So did Herodotus.
00:46:28 So he claims.
00:46:29 Do you know
00:46:30 When he visited the Underworld
00:46:32 enough gold, diamonds and
00:46:36 He was literally crunching
00:46:39 But you, veteran warriors, wouldn't be
00:46:43 as that taken
00:46:46 And soon by a poet, a young
00:46:53 Greeks. Greeks.
00:47:07 Okay.
00:47:19 Wait. Why is he coming?
00:47:22 Well, I thought
00:47:25 I told him the Underworld
00:47:50 Now what?
00:47:52 The portal is
00:00:15 The door we just
00:00:23 These must mean something.
00:00:26 Look.
00:00:31 The entrance must
00:00:37 I don't understand it.
00:00:45 Here we go.
00:00:49 Yes! Yes! Yes!
00:00:57 What is it?
00:01:15 What's happening?
00:01:21 Somebody tell me
00:01:27 Ari,
00:01:32 Herodotus was right.
00:01:35 What's happening?
00:02:05 Don't
00:02:31 Step out into your faith.
00:02:34 Mathayus, my son,
00:02:47 Faith, my son.
00:03:28 Amazing what faith can do.
00:03:30 Nice one, Akkadian!
00:03:32 How did you know?
00:03:35 I didn't.
00:03:47 Seems like nothing is
00:03:55 What's that?
00:03:57 Oh, yes.
00:03:59 Herodotus says a living person
00:04:01 for one hour before his or
00:04:05 and he or she
00:04:07 turns to stone.
00:04:11 Well, let's get moving.
00:04:14 You okay?
00:04:20 Yeah.
00:04:24 Nice place to visit, but...
00:04:28 We're all gonna die here.
00:04:46 Impressive, young one.
00:04:48 Now let's see
00:04:55 Wait.
00:05:02 What's
00:05:05 Bad omen.
00:05:08 Let's go.
00:05:35 This keeps getting
00:05:41 What fresh hell is this?
00:05:46 We should get moving.
00:05:50 What in the name
00:05:54 Did you hear it?
00:05:55 You can't go back now.
00:05:57 I can
00:06:00 Ah...
00:06:02 One thing.
00:06:11 Herodotus disguised himself
00:06:16 As the Underworld
00:06:19 I suggest
00:06:21 And if we're discovered?
00:06:23 Then we will be
00:06:36 What are we doing?
00:06:42 He must be stupid.
00:06:45 How do I look?
00:06:48 I think death becomes you.
00:06:55 Tell me
00:07:02 Gold. Some silver.
00:07:07 Anything.
00:07:29 So it's vengeance for your
00:07:36 Good. Blood
00:07:45 You knew him well?
00:07:46 We fought many a battle,
00:07:51 Burned and sacked cities.
00:07:53 Left the streets running red.
00:08:05 What was that?
00:08:16 I think I just
00:08:19 Buggers must have journeyed
00:08:25 Arm yourselves.
00:08:27 With all due respect, I don't think we
00:08:40 Maybe it wasn't such
00:08:45 Nice.
00:09:36 Father?
00:09:41 Don't look!
00:09:43 Keep moving.
00:09:46 Do not make eye contact.
00:09:50 Don't look them
00:09:58 What's he going on about?
00:09:59 He seems dissatisfied
00:10:13 I'll take care
00:10:15 No, you won't!
00:10:19 Save your blade
00:10:22 Hey! Save your tongue
00:10:27 Calm down! Calm down!
00:10:29 Can't you see the effect this
00:10:34 Later, Akkadian.
00:10:53 Has anybody seen a single
00:10:58 "Gold and diamonds and rubies so
00:11:04 The only thing my feet have
00:11:07 Patience, my friend.
00:11:08 Ari, are you sure
00:11:10 How close are we
00:11:13 Hard to say.
00:11:15 Say it anyway.
00:11:19 Well, unfortunately, Herodotus
00:11:22 So you don't know.
00:11:24 So you lied to us.
00:11:25 Appearances are deceiving.
00:11:28 For example, there's this
00:11:31 You play by yourself.
00:11:32 The game keeps changing,
00:11:37 And the longer you survive
00:11:40 the closer
00:11:51 How are we doing
00:11:52 I never played it.
00:11:58 It's a bit like Mahjong.
00:12:01 Mahjong.
00:12:03 Double-talking Greeks.
00:12:07 Insane Akkadians. Dead
00:12:24 This better be
00:12:29 I can't believe
00:12:35 Things are
00:12:44 PeARIs.
00:13:01 Where is everyone?
00:13:04 Wait.
00:13:06 We have to go back.
00:13:08 There's no time.
00:13:10 You go then.
00:13:13 Okay, let's move.
00:13:31 Like I was saying,
00:13:33 Yeah, I got it.
00:14:13 What was that?
00:15:05 Who are you?
00:15:07 And by what devious means have
00:15:17 Her inner what?
00:15:20 Let me handle this.
00:15:23 My lady, we are...
00:15:26 Actually, I'm not sure how
00:15:30 Because you see, we...
00:15:32 are humble traders
00:15:36 Yes! This curious-looking
00:15:39 on a silk-seeking
00:15:41 And we must have
00:15:44 Silence!
00:15:47 On your knees.
00:15:53 My friends will have
00:16:02 I prefer to stand.
00:16:05 But thanks anyway.
00:16:06 I am Astarte,
00:16:09 goddess of both love and war.
00:16:14 You will not only kneel,
00:16:17 you will grovel before me
00:16:24 There's no reason
00:16:26 We can handle this
00:16:43 Listen.
00:16:46 And listen well.
00:16:52 I rule this land
00:16:56 And I could destroy you
00:17:06 Or, if it pleased me,
00:17:11 seduce you
00:17:14 with a single glance
00:17:18 into obeying
00:17:24 whim.
00:17:31 No, please! Any woman can do as much by
00:17:43 Are you a man or a woman?
00:17:49 I daresay you could not seduce a beggar
00:17:53 if you heaped gold coins
00:17:57 Go up there and look for the
00:18:01 If you didn't have a goddess's
00:18:03 they'd no doubt
00:18:06 Who wants a 5,000-year-old
00:18:09 You insolent little cur.
00:18:12 I don't need a goddess's
00:18:20 You will regret that!
00:18:23 We'll see who regrets what,
00:18:52 I'll tear your face off.
00:18:53 Good, then I won't
00:19:02 Best you can do?
00:19:27 Where are you?
00:19:34 Come on, you old cow!
00:19:59 That's it!
00:20:01 The Sword of Damocles.
00:20:30 Slag!
00:20:38 So you like to play.
00:20:42 What are you doing?
00:20:45 It's not fair.
00:20:48 I lied.
00:20:55 Get ready for a long fall.
00:20:57 Wait, My Lady.
00:21:00 It's not her fault
00:21:04 My arrogance,
00:21:08 I humbly beg your forgiveness
00:21:14 For your beauty
00:21:22 Go on.
00:21:28 If you'll accept my
00:21:31 I swear on my word as an Akkadian,
00:21:35 that I will build you
00:21:37 in your honor
00:21:41 I have a thousand temples
00:21:48 But I must say,
00:21:51 you do possess a rare
00:21:55 Don't listen to her!
00:21:57 Perhaps if you were
00:22:02 as my consort,
00:22:05 then I might be persuaded
00:22:09 Except for that vermin.
00:22:12 Let me down!
00:22:15 Mathayus! Mathayus!
00:22:17 You would stay young as long
00:22:22 With no duties save
00:22:25 to service my varied
00:22:32 He'll never
00:22:34 He loves me!
00:22:35 Anyway, what man would willingly
00:22:41 Lady Astarte,
00:22:43 I would be a fool
00:22:48 However, I made a vow to Shamash
00:22:54 And I'd rather be known
00:23:00 You don't have
00:23:06 I knew your father.
00:23:12 And he means
00:23:15 My father was a hero.
00:23:20 Scratch any hero, Mathayus,
00:23:25 and you will find
00:23:36 One kiss
00:23:42 and you're mine.
00:23:47 Forever.
00:23:54 For the love of Zeus!
00:24:08 Forget it.
00:24:17 Mathayus!
00:24:18 Mathayus!
00:24:25 Here, you can keep this one.
00:24:28 Mathayus,
00:24:34 Run all you like, Mathayus.
00:24:36 I'll have you soon enough.
00:24:48 Hurry,
00:25:05 We don't have
00:25:06 Aren't you
00:25:10 Where's that treasure
00:25:12 But it's not my fault
00:25:14 You sacrificed my men,
00:25:18 I'll skin you alive.
00:25:20 Look!
00:25:34 Quick! Run!
00:25:38 Come on!
00:25:41 Come on! Let's go!
00:25:44 Come on!
00:25:46 Hurry, come on!
00:25:48 Hurry up!
00:25:55 Yeah! Yeah!
00:26:01 Oh, my God. Pollux!
00:26:15 We made it.
00:26:38 Get off me!
00:26:44 Lady Astarte,
00:26:47 you honor me
00:26:50 It is not to honor you
00:26:54 A young friend of yours paid a
00:27:00 Apparently,
00:27:07 against you.
00:27:11 And he took something of mine
00:27:19 A sword
00:27:21 which could wreak great havoc if
00:27:25 where it belongs.
00:27:29 I want it back.
00:27:31 And you shall have it,
00:27:33 Especially,
00:27:39 You're greedy, Sargon.
00:27:44 I like that in a man.
00:27:48 You shall have
00:27:51 But first,
00:27:53 you must make me
00:28:28 Never were any mortals more
00:28:32 than the Akkadian
00:28:34 Even Fong, content to take
00:28:38 ceased his endless carping.
00:28:41 And Mathayus, with the
00:28:44 looked eagerly
00:28:47 Mathayus?
00:28:49 What I said back there to that
00:28:54 You know,
00:28:55 about you being
00:28:59 Well, I only said that
00:29:02 Cloud her judgment.
00:29:06 That's what I thought.
00:29:07 Clever.
00:29:09 Yeah, it was clever,
00:29:17 It was.
00:29:32 Do you think what the
00:29:35 Inside every hero lurks
00:30:00 From this night forward, the
00:30:04 that Akkad will be
00:30:06 Tonight's celebration to Astarte
00:30:11 My kingdom and powers
00:30:14 Hail, Sargon.
00:30:26 Fong says he's enjoyed our company
00:30:30 to return to the simple life of
00:30:33 That's too bad.
00:30:36 We could use
00:31:10 Psst. Come here!
00:31:14 Where's everyone going?
00:31:15 The king has told us
00:31:18 Everybody. Keep moving, you little rats!
00:31:30 Something's not right.
00:31:32 You better go to the arena
00:31:34 I'll come with you.
00:31:36 I've never been a big fan
00:31:38 and I suspect you'll
00:31:51 Don't get yourself killed.
00:31:55 Nor you.
00:32:04 Come on.
00:32:10 Shouldn't we discreetly
00:32:13 No time.
00:32:14 Halt!
00:32:16 I'm here for
00:32:19 Stand aside and I won't
00:32:22 Trust me, you really
00:32:27 Impossible!
00:32:29 My quarrel is not with you
00:32:32 Let them pass.
00:32:35 Gods be with you.
00:32:36 I'm with him.
00:32:38 I've never seen
00:32:49 Sit down now.
00:32:57 Goddess Astarte.
00:33:00 Hurry up!
00:33:14 Come on!
00:33:16 Anywhere. Just go.
00:33:43 Wait here.
00:33:47 This is personal.
00:34:32 Where are you two going?
00:34:33 There's no seats this way.
00:34:40 He's the entertainment,
00:34:45 To keep them
00:35:08 King Sargon salutes you,
00:35:13 Your great gift
00:35:18 and prosperity of Akkad...
00:35:20 Great gift?
00:35:21 ...and the blessing
00:35:25 I've got a bad
00:35:27 And rejoice
00:35:43 Now.
00:36:24 What's going on?
00:36:47 Hmm?
00:37:00 Get away
00:37:07 Move! Open the gate.
00:37:12 Move out!
00:37:15 Mathayus.
00:37:27 Mathayus.
00:37:31 Father?
00:37:33 How can this be?
00:37:38 What magic is this?
00:37:40 No, my son, it is not
00:37:46 It is the wondrous power
00:37:49 that you hold that has
00:37:54 But I saw you.
00:37:56 I saw you in the Underworld.
00:37:58 A place you do not belong.
00:38:02 Prove to me
00:38:07 Remember
00:38:09 when you were
00:38:12 and sometimes
00:38:15 I would put my arms around you
00:38:20 that only you and I
00:38:37 Remember?
00:38:42 Father?
00:38:44 You were a hero.
00:38:47 Why were you there?
00:38:49 We cannot escape our fate.
00:38:54 Scratch any hero
00:38:58 and a monster lurks beneath.
00:39:12 Feeling smaller
00:39:22 You're not the one to talk,
00:39:26 Father always said
00:39:58 Shoot that one!
00:40:14 They're gonna
00:40:18 What?
00:40:22 Okay! Let's split up!
00:40:25 Okay.
00:40:27 We can't let
00:40:31 You come to avenge your
00:40:35 I fight for more
00:40:38 I fight for what
00:40:42 And I fight for what
00:40:45 Mark that down, scribe.
00:40:47 Sounds like a good epitaph.
00:41:22 Ari, throw me the sword.
00:41:26 The sword, Greek.
00:41:30 Ari.
00:41:33 Jewels first.
00:41:46 Careful. It's sharp.
00:41:59 That's right,
00:42:00 I planned every detail of your little
00:42:06 This sword makes
00:42:11 You can never
00:42:15 Nothing personal, Mathayus.
00:42:17 But a fortune in jewels
00:42:20 What writer could resist that?
00:42:25 Write well of my exploits,
00:42:36 The king who became a god.
00:43:18 What?
00:43:20 Mathayus!
00:43:24 Never trust a Greek!
00:43:25 And I'm a poet not a
00:43:41 Now, Mathayus, as a Black Scorpion
00:43:47 You took a sacred oath.
00:44:18 And the darkness grows.
00:45:19 Fong! Stop the arrow!
00:48:05 Get them off the wall!
00:48:17 Release those arrows!
00:48:19 Fire!
00:48:34 Fong! We have to stop the
00:48:49 Fong, come on!
00:48:51 Stop the flames!
00:48:53 Put out the flames!
00:48:55 Use the sand!
00:49:37 Stop the flames
00:49:43 Hurry, Fong!
00:49:44 Don't let the flames
00:50:35 Fong, hurry, get the wall!
00:50:48 What?
00:51:19 This is for my father.
00:51:43 Layla, you saved us!
00:52:44 And so, Mathayus, why
00:52:52 You dared spurn me.
00:52:57 Not to mention
00:52:59 you stole my sword.
00:53:02 Because, My Lady,
00:53:07 you know you'll have me soon enough.
00:53:21 Yes.
00:53:25 I will.
00:54:01 Oh, Shamash,
00:54:04 For three days and nights, my son has
00:54:09 Bring him back to us
00:54:12 or take him please,
00:54:23 What's that stench?
00:54:34 I would think I've earned a thank you.
00:54:36 Of course, I never planned
00:54:39 My words will tell your
00:54:42 In time, your exploits will be renowned.
00:54:44 If you'll just
00:54:47 let go.
00:54:50 Hey.
00:54:55 Welcome back.
00:55:08 Citizens of Akkad,
00:55:11 Son of Hammurabi,
00:55:20 People of Akkad, we have
00:55:26 But the sun is rising again.
00:55:31 Where is the Greek?
00:55:33 He said something about
00:55:37 But he wanted you
00:55:39 He said you'd understand.
00:55:46 What?
00:55:51 I think he'll do quite well.
00:55:52 Our land, the people's
00:56:02 People of Akkad...
00:56:03 Should have been you.
00:56:05 No thanks.
00:56:10 And us?
00:56:17 We'll be fine.
00:56:19 It would have been nice to
00:56:22 with lots of servants
00:56:26 I thought you wanted to be a warrior,
00:56:28 roam the world
00:56:31 Well, I decided I didn't like battles
00:56:35 That every man may
00:56:39 Do you?
00:56:43 But the truth
00:56:44 Mathayus did have a fondness
00:56:48 And though he loved Layla,
00:56:50 and the scorpion's dark venom
00:56:56 It would drive him out into the
00:56:59 and further battles
00:57:03 he would return
00:57:09 That is the subject
