Attila en
00:00:01	Though decadent and corrupt,
00:00:05	the Roman Empire remained
00:00:09	Then a new people, the Huns,
00:00:13	appeared from the east.
00:00:14	An ancient prophecy told of a man
00:00:18	and challenge Rome
00:01:21	- My arrow fell short!
00:01:23	The deer outruns it.
00:01:24	Perhaps it's time
00:01:29	We're on Dunnotis' land.
00:01:31	The chase was long.
00:01:33	We'll send him
00:01:36	Still, we might have been seen.
00:01:38	If Dunnotis complains, we kill him.
00:01:41	Hush, boy. It's foolish for Huns
00:01:44	How can we conquer the western lands
00:02:03	Father spoke of the western lands
00:02:06	He was there once,
00:02:09	Did he discover them?
00:02:10	No, no... Others discovered them
00:02:13	How?
00:02:16	A gadfly.
00:02:20	A warrior was taming a stallion,
00:02:23	and a gadfly bit the stallion
00:02:26	The warrior followed
00:02:30	But there's no way past the marsh.
00:02:33	Oh, the horse found a way,
00:02:37	- and on the other side...
00:02:41	Father says we'll conquer them.
00:02:43	- When the Great King comes.
00:02:47	The Great King
00:02:50	and all men will kneel to him.
00:02:53	He will rule the Hun as one nation,
00:02:56	and hold the sword of the war god
00:02:59	And...he'll go to bed
00:03:04	Yes, Father.
00:03:39	(Arrow whistles )
00:04:01	No! Attila, stop!
00:04:03	- I want to help! Let me help!
00:04:07	You stay in there.
00:04:51	Father!
00:04:55	Father.
00:05:03	Father...
00:05:15	Get him!
00:05:29	You are Mundzuk's son.
00:05:31	Where is my grandmother?
00:05:32	She is dead. Your father is dead.
00:05:36	That's his reward
00:05:39	I am your master now.
00:05:42	Kneel.
00:05:52	Kneel!
00:05:54	And I might let you live as my slave.
00:06:19	Hyah! Hyah!
00:07:50	What's your name, boy?
00:07:53	Attila, son of Mundzuk.
00:07:56	Don't you recognize me?
00:08:00	I am Rua, your father's brother,
00:08:03	and it's a long time
00:08:06	- My father's dead.
00:08:11	You've been alone all this time?
00:08:15	You're safe now. Come.
00:08:17	Unless you prefer
00:08:41	(Indistinct chatter)
00:08:57	(Rua )
00:09:00	The wolverine,
00:09:02	the sheba,
00:09:05	and the horse,
00:09:07	- How many layers in a bow?
00:09:14	How long must you heat
00:09:18	Until the outer layer sweats.
00:09:20	You've been taught well.
00:09:24	Go to your tent.
00:09:31	He doesn't belong here.
00:09:33	I took my brother's wife
00:09:37	Should I leave the younger
00:09:41	Yes.
00:09:42	Yes, for Bleda's sake.
00:09:44	He's the elder.
00:09:46	He'll get the larger portion
00:09:50	There will be trouble between them.
00:10:07	Who's there?
00:10:16	Who are you?
00:10:19	- Who are you?
00:10:24	- I am Galen.
00:10:26	- A girl. Are you blind?
00:10:30	- I'm no older than you.
00:10:34	They're afraid of me.
00:10:36	Why are they afraid of you?
00:10:38	Because I read the stars and the sky
00:10:42	You're a witch.
00:10:43	I had a vision yesterday
00:10:48	- Who?
00:10:50	Stay back.
00:10:53	No.
00:10:54	You were born yesterday,
00:11:00	Ah, yes.
00:11:02	Yesterday, on the steppes.
00:11:11	(Rua ) Some say it takes months
00:11:15	But...it takes 15 years.
00:11:19	It starts when the tree
00:11:21	You cut the wood too soon,
00:11:26	too late, it becomes brittle.
00:11:28	King Rua... We found them.
00:11:41	Are these the men
00:11:48	(Rua ) They're yours.
00:11:50	You do with them what you will.
00:11:54	- There were more of them.
00:12:03	- Kneel.
00:12:07	Submit to me and live.
00:13:07	Attila!
00:13:11	They saw no force of any kind
00:13:14	Good.
00:13:35	IMPERIAL PRISON
00:13:47	You should be used to it by now.
00:13:49	We guards eat the same food.
00:13:52	It's slave food.
00:13:54	Only a slave could get used to it.
00:14:15	Aaargh!
00:14:29	I am Flavius Aetius.
00:14:33	Rome endures.
00:14:37	I will endure.
00:14:43	(Man ) Parthians, Scythians,
00:14:46	Macedonians, Picts, Gauls, Britons,
00:14:51	The list of defeated peoples
00:14:53	- Why are Huns different?
00:14:57	- Wait till they face Roman troops.
00:15:01	From the Eastern Empire.
00:15:05	- We have no troops near the border.
00:15:09	Not possible.
00:15:14	Is it serious? The Huns
00:15:18	- They've crossed into our territory.
00:15:22	And when they realize how little
00:15:28	Placidia, one man
00:15:32	Aetius will not leave prison alive.
00:15:34	He knows their customs,
00:15:36	I said no.
00:15:38	(Emperor groaning)
00:15:40	Felix, I know my son is...
00:15:44	immature, but he is learning.
00:15:46	He's emperor now,
00:15:48	and he'll rise to the occasion
00:15:54	There! I did it!
00:15:57	What shall I hit?
00:16:07	Idiot!
00:16:09	He's ruined my shot!
00:16:13	I'll think about what you said,
00:16:15	but I have to be convinced that
00:16:19	(All yelling)
00:16:27	(Woman ) Invaders! Invaders!
00:18:22	(Screaming)
00:19:18	(Baby crying)
00:19:25	(Man ) Go! Get moving!
00:19:43	Wait! Your name?
00:19:49	N'Kara.
00:19:52	You fight bravely.
00:19:57	Put her with the slaves.
00:20:00	Her sword was the bloodiest of all.
00:20:08	If she has kin, spare them as well.
00:20:40	(Keys rattling)
00:20:45	You may leave.
00:20:53	I once swore you'd never
00:20:56	but your friends have
00:20:59	In the light of their plea...
00:21:01	(Laughs ) There's only one conceivable
00:21:06	- You need me.
00:21:09	If I had to guess,
00:21:13	and you and the rest of Rome
00:21:17	There have been reports
00:21:21	among the southern tribes - Attila.
00:21:24	No, but I know King Rua,
00:21:28	My son is young. He needs someone
00:21:32	You can serve your country
00:21:36	- if that's possible.
00:21:40	What's your price?
00:21:42	First, a full pardon.
00:21:44	You tried to depose me, before
00:21:49	Let's call that a misunderstanding.
00:21:57	What else?
00:22:00	Full restoration of my estates,
00:22:02	personal staff, hand-picked by me,
00:22:05	and...
00:22:08	reinstatement to the rank
00:22:13	If I am to deal with the Huns,
00:22:17	- Felix has the supreme command.
00:22:20	- He recommended your release.
00:22:23	- You can rot in this cell forever.
00:22:27	You can find someone else
00:22:33	Warden.
00:22:39	Release him.
00:22:46	He is your new supreme commander.
00:23:06	The guard who brought me
00:23:09	Petronius, my lord.
00:23:26	- Father!
00:23:29	Oh, you're really free!
00:23:32	Oh, I was afraid to believe it.
00:23:34	I came to the prison
00:23:38	My God, look at you.
00:23:42	You're a young woman,
00:23:51	The villa's really ours again?
00:23:54	Yes.
00:23:56	And the one in Sicily too.
00:24:00	Tomorrow I'll bring in workers.
00:24:03	It'll be as beautiful as ever.
00:24:10	(Galen ) Come on, move!
00:24:15	Ha, ha, you're in my lot now!
00:24:24	(Attila ) King Rua,
00:24:26	I bring you tribute from our victory.
00:24:30	(Scoffs ) A victory over farmers?
00:24:36	The people are watching.
00:24:38	You are brothers!
00:24:56	Let us see the treasures
00:25:07	Attila, don't let your brother's
00:25:10	(Attila ) He's right.
00:25:12	It was a village defended
00:25:16	We fight peasants
00:25:20	Yes. Not even the Romans.
00:25:22	- Rome? That's a different matter.
00:25:26	True.
00:25:28	But, uh, why wake a sleeping lion?
00:25:34	We were 50 leagues
00:25:38	There were no legions,
00:25:43	Let me take a larger army
00:25:47	- How much further?
00:25:52	What will you do when you get there?
00:25:56	They're wide as wagons,
00:25:59	but they're made of stone,
00:26:18	(Roars )
00:26:19	I scared you.
00:26:22	- I could have killed you.
00:26:26	- Nothing.
00:26:29	- You did, didn't you?
00:26:31	Did you have another vision
00:26:35	- Maybe. What did you bring me?
00:26:39	That vision has been in our tribe
00:26:43	After a hard battle,
00:26:47	His sword dropped from his hand.
00:26:49	Whoever finds it will rule the world.
00:26:51	You must believe it, Attila.
00:26:54	Why?
00:26:55	Because when you're
00:26:59	A handle of gold and ivory,
00:27:03	I won't even rule the tribe.
00:27:05	When my uncle dies,
00:27:09	Bleda's not in my visions. You are.
00:27:16	Go away, woman!
00:27:19	Leave me alone.
00:27:21	To think of the red-haired woman.
00:27:25	The whole tribe knows.
00:27:27	A red-haired woman
00:27:30	A red-haired woman has caught...
00:27:32	(Yells)
00:27:46	Tonight we celebrate
00:27:50	the first with Roman spoils.
00:27:53	(All cheer)
00:27:55	Bleda, as the eldest,
00:28:02	Choose wisely.
00:28:07	Attila, your raid
00:28:11	and I commend you.
00:28:13	Since I did not fight,
00:28:15	I claim nothing of value.
00:28:19	Only...
00:28:21	an animal, unknown in these parts.
00:28:25	A strange creature
00:28:33	(Crowd laughing)
00:28:37	Bring it in.
00:28:51	Later tonight,
00:28:55	Huns with red hair.
00:28:59	(Crowd laughing)
00:29:23	Attila, what are you doing?
00:29:26	You can't kill Bleda. You can't!
00:29:31	Not in Rua's tent,
00:29:33	but when he comes out,
00:29:35	No. Your time has not yet come.
00:29:37	This morning I had another vision.
00:29:40	Destiny has chosen you,
00:29:47	I'm tired of your visions!
00:29:51	No! I won't let you.
00:29:55	(Groans )
00:30:01	A woman.
00:30:03	Hey, Galen.
00:30:07	If you fight with Bleda over a woman,
00:30:11	Even if you win, you lose.
00:30:13	Go back to Rua's tent,
00:30:17	claim the conquered village.
00:30:19	- Am I a farmer, that I need land?
00:30:23	It was in my vision.
00:30:31	Next!
00:30:38	The horse shied.
00:30:41	You and your horse are one.
00:30:43	His mistake is your mistake.
00:31:30	(Yells)
00:31:46	The beast with red fur.
00:31:50	The toadstool who talks.
00:31:52	Bleda mounts you
00:31:55	It is no choice of mine.
00:31:58	Then why don't you?
00:32:02	My sister and mother.
00:32:04	If I kill myself,
00:32:07	They live because of Attila.
00:32:10	I've seen the way he looks at you,
00:32:17	I belong to Bleda.
00:32:19	A Hun doesn't possess a woman
00:32:24	If you bear Bleda's,
00:32:31	And how can I help it?
00:32:34	These seeds.
00:32:39	They will keep
00:32:44	Attila or Bleda?
00:32:46	Bleda or Attila?
00:32:50	I know who Galen would choose.
00:33:07	We don't even know
00:33:10	Trust me, they will.
00:33:12	I lived among them when I was young.
00:33:14	How did that happen?
00:33:16	There was a treaty,
00:33:19	They are brave, strong,
00:33:22	Is it true their women
00:33:29	They crossed the border
00:33:33	They sacked 20 villages.
00:33:35	As I told Felix, we should
00:33:38	And as he told you,
00:33:40	If we pull legions from the west,
00:33:44	The Huns have violated
00:33:47	and therefore
00:33:50	The insult must be avenged.
00:33:52	It was the Huns that drove the Goths
00:33:56	And split the empire.
00:33:58	That's why I rule the West
00:34:01	Yet your divine brain
00:34:04	What we must avoid at all costs is
00:34:09	(Girl giggling)
00:34:18	Mmm!
00:34:20	Traitor. I'm your sister.
00:34:23	You wanted to be kissed.
00:34:28	Flavius Aetius.
00:34:32	The divine Honoria.
00:34:34	I hope you're
00:34:36	If you don't, Mummy said
00:34:40	Forever.
00:34:42	Mummy will have her joke.
00:34:46	- Shall we continue, divine one?
00:34:50	Pritella's daughters
00:34:54	We'll finish later.
00:34:55	I have to talk with Mummy, anyway.
00:34:59	I...command it.
00:35:02	(Honoria giggles )
00:35:04	Goodbye, Mummy.
00:35:09	Where is my son going?
00:35:11	To the Forum.
00:35:14	He needs rest
00:35:17	- But he is progressing?
00:35:20	Nevertheless, whatever steps
00:35:25	After he obtains your approval.
00:35:31	Some things need immediate attention.
00:35:33	Training of troops,
00:35:36	See to that on your own.
00:35:38	- It would help if I had your seal.
00:35:41	Three years in prison
00:35:44	I need proof
00:35:48	The Huns are at our border, Placidia.
00:35:51	We must both forget old hatreds.
00:36:03	(Aetius ) Petronius...
00:36:07	Don't worry.
00:36:10	(Petronius ) I beg you,
00:36:13	I was not well in the head.
00:36:17	How does your head feel now?
00:36:19	Ready for whatever service
00:36:22	Good.
00:36:24	I require you to kill someone.
00:36:27	Who is it, my lord?
00:36:34	The Emperor Valentinian.
00:36:37	It's all arranged. You'll be gone
00:36:43	Ten gold talents now,
00:36:47	A fortune.
00:36:48	- I'll be a hunted man forever.
00:36:52	The Emperor's mother herself
00:36:56	She's tasted power.
00:37:03	Her seal.
00:37:05	She gave it to me for this purpose.
00:37:09	If you're taken,
00:37:18	Tomorrow noon, the Garden of Corona.
00:37:21	Use the south gate.
00:37:23	I'll see that he's alone.
00:37:47	Who are you?
00:37:53	Halt.
00:38:01	How dare you raise a weapon
00:38:09	I was walking by.
00:38:12	Thank God I followed him!
00:38:16	I had an invitation from Mummy
00:38:24	See if you can find out who he is.
00:38:37	He carries my mother's seal.
00:38:39	How is that possible?
00:38:43	She invited me here...to be killed.
00:38:48	No. Your own mother?
00:38:50	I should have known!
00:38:54	All this talk
00:38:59	was just to keep me off guard!
00:39:03	I'll have that bitch boiled alive.
00:39:05	No, no, no. Sire.
00:39:08	- You have no proof.
00:39:10	She'll say it was stolen
00:39:14	She'll have an explanation.
00:39:18	Yes.
00:39:19	You've been
00:39:22	- All those years in prison.
00:39:28	Rome is, and you are Rome.
00:39:33	Act wisely.
00:39:36	- What must I do?
00:39:41	When she finds out her scheme
00:39:48	We'll take care of her
00:39:57	I put myself in your hands.
00:40:07	Attila, walk with Galen
00:40:10	I'm tired.
00:40:11	A short walk with your friend.
00:40:17	(Attila ) Woman...
00:40:22	Where are you?
00:41:00	Don't be afraid.
00:41:03	I'm not afraid.
00:41:17	Go back.
00:41:19	If my brother misses you,
00:41:23	I don't care.
00:41:26	Go back.
00:41:38	(Aetius ) Valentinian,
00:41:42	A great city, a great country.
00:41:46	Rome is a fire...
00:41:49	a golden flame of power,
00:41:51	of majesty, beauty, knowledge.
00:41:56	For a thousand years,
00:41:59	Go outside.
00:42:01	Look around you.
00:42:05	The Colosseum, the Senate,
00:42:11	that bring water from 100 miles away
00:42:13	so we can live like civilized
00:42:16	Of course, you're saying
00:42:22	and we have to keep it that way.
00:42:27	That's right.
00:42:29	Tomorrow, I'll go to Ravenna and
00:42:34	It's two weeks' march
00:42:36	I'll need Senate approval tonight.
00:42:38	- Tonight? They're all asleep.
00:42:42	Wake them up.
00:42:46	Yes!
00:42:48	I will enjoy that.
00:42:50	Darling, I haven't seen you all day.
00:42:53	Valentinian?
00:42:56	Thank you. It's proved very useful.
00:43:09	Attila, you still want to go to Rome?
00:43:13	If you're serious, yes.
00:43:15	I'm serious. Then again, perhaps you
00:43:19	I received a message.
00:43:22	It seems that Rome
00:43:57	We know of your incursion
00:44:01	Officially, I protest.
00:44:06	Our spies bring word that
00:44:10	- Which tribe?
00:44:15	Why not march your legion there?
00:44:18	For your sake, Rua,
00:44:23	Our spies tell us the Visigoths
00:44:27	They've been paying tribute
00:44:31	- Ten years.
00:44:33	(Aetius ) And they hate you for it.
00:44:36	Just as they hate us. They'll attack
00:44:41	then us while we sit here
00:45:00	He is of your tribe?
00:45:02	The Visigoths tortured him.
00:45:05	My spies saw it.
00:45:07	Knowing the horse
00:45:12	they carved ten horses into his body
00:45:16	one for each year of tribute.
00:45:18	It took him three days to die!
00:45:22	(Attila ) There should be more blood.
00:45:24	These wounds were made after death.
00:45:34	A Roman general has better things
00:45:44	You've grown soft.
00:45:49	The Huns I knew
00:45:53	I came to offer an alliance.
00:45:56	I'll march
00:46:01	Flavius!
00:46:05	We, uh, divide the spoils equally?
00:46:10	Of course.
00:46:13	We'll join you.
00:46:15	(Men laugh)
00:46:17	Make preparations, now!
00:46:34	Who was the outspoken one?
00:46:36	My nephew, Attila.
00:46:39	Attila? I've heard of him.
00:46:43	Yes. He's very ambitious.
00:46:47	Why, the other day,
00:46:50	Did he?
00:46:53	I raised him and his brother
00:46:57	They hated each other
00:46:59	There is the source
00:47:03	(Aetius ) A slave girl?
00:47:06	(Rua ) Bleda claimed her
00:47:10	If they don't fight over her,
00:47:16	Why not put Attila under my command?
00:47:19	You'd have peace for a time,
00:47:36	They march well, but can they fight?
00:47:39	I sense you'd rather fight
00:47:44	I've seen much Roman arrogance
00:47:51	(Man ) Sentries are set, General. The
00:47:55	(Aetius ) Wake the camp
00:47:59	We'll occupy the rise at dawn.
00:48:01	- The Huns will cut off any retreat.
00:48:17	The dead man in Rua's tent...
00:48:21	The Visigoths
00:48:24	And you handled it very badly.
00:48:27	You should have waited
00:48:29	and you should have seemed puzzled.
00:48:31	"If he were tortured while alive,
00:48:36	Rua realizes the answer for himself
00:48:41	Trickery and deceit...
00:48:44	That's the way of the Romans,
00:48:47	Which way rules the world?
00:49:22	A Frankish tribe must have
00:49:26	- We've just seen their standards.
00:49:28	Their numbers have doubled.
00:49:43	- Everything is ready?
00:49:46	- They have the high ground.
00:49:48	But have they realized yet
00:50:08	At the first trumpet, the center
00:50:13	The second, they turn and fight.
00:50:15	The third,
00:50:20	Yes, General.
00:50:27	Take the message to Attila.
00:50:31	Yes, General.
00:50:35	Prepare for the charge.
00:50:41	(All shouting)
00:51:59	Sound the first trumpet.
00:52:02	(Trumpets blaring)
00:52:09	They're retreating.
00:52:11	Roman cowards.
00:52:14	No. It's a trick.
00:52:22	Sound the second trumpet.
00:52:24	(Trumpets blaring)
00:52:30	(All yelling)
00:52:38	The courier was killed.
00:52:40	- His body was found a furlong away.
00:52:43	I did. But he
00:52:51	He'll expect us to attack the flank.
00:52:56	He sent no orders.
00:52:58	Attack on my signal.
00:53:06	Go! Go!
00:53:08	(All yelling)
00:53:59	With a few more like him, Rome could
00:54:22	Theodoric.
00:54:24	It's been a long time,
00:54:26	But the same result -
00:54:29	- Your terms?
00:54:33	2,000lbs of gold,
00:54:38	Do you mean to starve us?
00:54:39	Would you prefer my legions
00:54:42	You would never dare
00:54:46	Do you accept the terms,
00:54:51	I accept the terms.
00:54:54	Aetius. The girl is well?
00:54:58	I told you before.
00:55:00	Lydia is no concern
00:55:09	You knew each other from before?
00:55:11	Theodoric?
00:55:15	Yes, our paths have crossed.
00:55:17	(Muttering)
00:55:19	You hate each other.
00:55:22	Strange as it may seem, we
00:55:26	She died years ago. He blames me.
00:55:31	So this fight was for Rome...
00:55:37	I strive for efficiency.
00:55:40	You Romans play with kings and
00:55:44	(Aetius chuckles )
00:55:50	I go back to Rome soon.
00:55:53	Come with me.
00:55:55	Learn how the world is ruled.
00:55:57	See if Rome really does play with
00:56:03	There's no one like you in Rome
00:56:08	Today was just the beginning.
00:56:11	We could do great things
00:56:16	If we don't kill each other first.
00:56:23	What do you say, Attila?
00:56:37	(Crowd cheering)
00:58:32	Aetius, we congratulate you
00:58:35	The glory is yours, Caesar.
00:58:37	I present Attila,
00:58:39	whose courage and skill contributed
00:58:43	Attila, we welcome you
00:58:47	Let me introduce you
00:58:54	Gentlemen, this is Attila.
00:58:57	He's quite striking,
00:59:00	His clothes are made of animal skins.
00:59:02	He'll have them off soon enough.
00:59:05	Was it wise to bring him here?
00:59:08	(Aetius ) One day he'll be king
00:59:11	Then we should kill him.
00:59:13	Then we'd be at war with the Huns,
00:59:17	- Won't his elder brother be king?
00:59:22	Therefore, we'll seduce him with
00:59:28	And at the end
00:59:30	- if he turns against us...
00:59:33	It will be on your head, Aetius.
01:00:13	Grachia, congratulations
01:00:16	Kind of Your Grace to take note.
01:00:21	Grachia is the current champion
01:00:24	- Finest charioteer in the empire.
01:00:28	I'll make sure you have
01:00:32	A chariot driver at a royal banquet?
01:00:36	It's shameful how this city
01:00:39	Some of them
01:01:28	It suits you nicely.
01:01:33	I wear it tonight only.
01:01:36	- I have another present.
01:01:39	I insist.
01:01:50	What is this place?
01:01:53	A bath.
01:01:55	Go on, step in.
01:02:00	You've never seen one?
01:02:04	Aetius has only shown you
01:02:07	but I think the bath
01:02:19	It's hot.
01:02:21	Yes.
01:02:22	That's the point.
01:02:26	How's it done?
01:02:27	A furnace, a few pipes.
01:02:30	It doesn't matter.
01:02:32	It's very soothing
01:02:37	I had a feeling you might like it.
01:02:40	I'm not as stupid as people think...
01:02:42	as you probably think.
01:02:45	It's just that brains don't
01:02:52	Mummy's an exception.
01:02:55	She had real power.
01:02:57	But she's made sure
01:03:01	She favors my brother and has done
01:03:05	He's a hopeless ninny,
01:03:10	So that's that.
01:03:14	I say, if a woman can only
01:03:17	then let it be with the most
01:03:49	- (Sighs ) Rua grows old.
01:03:55	He likes to drink ale
01:03:59	Put this in the bowl
01:04:04	He will die peacefully,
01:04:28	I was afraid you weren't coming.
01:04:30	I have other things
01:04:33	I need mushrooms for my potions.
01:04:35	Besides, Bleda hardly
01:04:39	Galen, wait.
01:04:40	He's planning to have Rua murdered.
01:04:43	Be quiet!
01:04:45	You could be killed
01:04:49	Bleda bribed a guard to poison him.
01:04:52	You have to do something.
01:04:54	- What can I do?
01:04:56	- He wouldn't listen to me.
01:04:59	It may be best for us if Rua dies.
01:05:04	And Bleda becomes king?
01:05:07	- Where is Attila?
01:05:10	- How long has he been there?
01:05:12	Why does he tarry?
01:05:16	I don't know.
01:05:18	If there's one thing
01:05:22	it's news of Rua's death.
01:05:25	Attila must return.
01:05:29	You love him.
01:05:31	A woman who does not is blind.
01:05:35	But he would never love a toadstool.
01:05:41	- Why do you help me?
01:05:44	I must be true to them,
01:05:46	and my visions tell me
01:05:50	He must return. Therefore,
01:05:53	let today's king die
01:06:07	When you said Rome would seduce him,
01:06:12	- I had nothing to do with it.
01:06:15	A marriage
01:06:18	Married to a barbarian?
01:06:21	I doubt it. But at least there'd be
01:06:26	Spare me your speech
01:06:29	- Like it or not, we must make them.
01:06:33	An alliance with the Huns
01:06:37	and buy us time to make
01:06:41	If he'll have her, they will marry.
01:06:44	Over my dead body.
01:06:46	Well, if you insist.
01:06:58	He puts too much faith
01:07:01	Even if this marriage occurred
01:07:03	the Huns might think it
01:07:06	- It must not occur.
01:07:09	It may require drastic measures.
01:07:13	Then take them.
01:07:17	And Aetius
01:07:22	I understand.
01:07:29	I never believed in destiny before,
01:07:32	It was destiny
01:07:36	Do you believe in destiny, Attila?
01:07:39	- Perhaps.
01:07:42	So many people
01:07:45	"The will of God" this
01:07:49	Actually, I only know
01:07:52	who really takes destiny seriously.
01:07:56	Flavius Aetius.
01:07:57	Strange, isn't it?
01:08:00	I despise him but adore you.
01:08:06	- What's his destiny?
01:08:11	And what's yours?
01:08:15	A soothsayer in my village
01:08:18	And when you find it?
01:08:21	I'll rule the world.
01:08:24	How sad for Aetius.
01:08:26	Aetius can take care of himself.
01:08:32	If you'll excuse me.
01:08:38	- What do you think of her?
01:08:42	That's all?
01:08:44	What else is there to say of a woman?
01:08:47	(Chuckles ) You've never loved, then.
01:08:51	Once. Perhaps.
01:08:56	The slave girl, the red-haired one.
01:09:02	A man in your position
01:09:05	Those that you love...
01:09:07	and those that are merely...
01:09:09	useful.
01:09:11	And if your destiny
01:09:14	you could do worse
01:09:18	What if Rome is part of the world
01:09:21	Well, there are many ways to conquer.
01:09:25	You captured Honoria
01:09:28	and she may be the key
01:09:34	To conquest, however achieved.
01:09:41	Father, this message
01:09:56	Rua is dead.
01:10:00	- I must leave at once.
01:10:03	Bleda will be plotting against me.
01:10:06	Get a fresh start in the morning.
01:10:09	Send a messenger
01:10:12	but take a different route
01:10:16	Challenge him quickly,
01:10:20	- A pretext.
01:10:24	For example, you might
01:10:28	- The fact is, he probably did.
01:10:31	It's no matter. It's good politics.
01:10:34	It'll put him on the defensive.
01:10:37	Attila...
01:10:40	if things go badly, you know
01:10:47	I will live or die among the Huns.
01:10:52	Then rest.
01:11:07	Have you been eavesdropping?
01:11:10	No, learning.
01:11:13	You'll miss him, won't you?
01:11:16	Yes, I'll miss him.
01:11:18	Rome produces
01:11:22	This Bleda,
01:11:25	Of course.
01:11:28	I'll say a prayer for him
01:11:31	Yes.
01:11:34	Say one for Rome as well.
01:11:46	Oh, I beg pardon, master.
01:11:48	I thought you were leaving.
01:11:51	(Coughs )
01:11:54	(Gasping)
01:12:56	Take him!
01:13:02	Take him! Your king commands it!
01:13:08	You are not yet king.
01:13:10	Bring me my crown! Quickly!
01:13:12	You see how he wants to steal
01:13:17	You lie.
01:13:19	Rua should have died as he lived.
01:13:22	A warrior, not in his sleep.
01:13:24	No man can choose
01:13:27	- No, not if he's murdered.
01:13:31	and I am the elder son
01:13:34	Therefore, I am the rightful king.
01:13:36	To what purpose? To be paid
01:13:41	or some other nation?
01:13:43	We will live
01:13:45	What else should we do?
01:13:48	We should rule the world!
01:13:50	You'd have us attack Rome?
01:13:55	No.
01:13:56	(Bleda ) He has been bought off.
01:13:59	Besides, he has a whore in Rome
01:14:08	If we attack Rome,
01:14:13	We will return
01:14:16	and our women gone.
01:14:18	(Priest) You've said
01:14:21	but you've not said
01:14:25	Attack north... Pannonia and beyond.
01:14:29	- Attack our own people?!
01:14:32	But Huns nonetheless,
01:14:34	and we've been at peace
01:14:36	And war will come again,
01:14:43	You all know the ancient prophecy.
01:14:49	The one who finds
01:14:53	Have you found this sword?
01:14:59	No.
01:15:00	Then your words are empty.
01:15:05	I will give a different sign.
01:15:11	I say you murdered Rua,
01:15:13	and are not fit to take his place.
01:15:16	And I say you lie.
01:15:19	Then we'll meet tomorrow
01:15:22	Let the strongest prevail.
01:15:25	And that will be the sign.
01:16:04	He will tip his arrows with poison.
01:16:08	If I die of poison, the tribe
01:16:12	This poison leaves no sign.
01:16:15	How would Bleda get such a poison?
01:16:21	You?
01:16:25	Galen...
01:16:29	What evil have you worked for him?
01:16:31	Did he poison Rua?
01:16:33	Bleda swore he'd kill me
01:16:35	Besides, I knew it would
01:16:38	- I would have come back anyway!
01:16:41	- Your visions!
01:16:44	This time tomorrow you'll be king.
01:16:47	- Give me some of your poison!
01:16:49	There are no more mushrooms.
01:16:55	Then you've not only killed Rua,
01:16:59	No. If the poison enters you,
01:17:03	How? Will you be riding next to me
01:17:07	Attila, find the sword.
01:17:12	If you have the sword,
01:17:15	Nobody has found it
01:17:19	How am I supposed to find it
01:17:37	I'm through with you, woman.
01:17:41	Never speak to me again.
01:18:38	Hyah! Hyah! Come on!
01:18:50	(Chanting)
01:18:54	Powers of earth and sky, be true
01:18:58	Give Galen's strength to Attila
01:19:10	(Groaning)
01:19:16	(Groans )
01:19:23	(Grunting)
01:19:44	Hyah!
01:19:50	(Gasps )
01:20:04	Hah!
01:20:07	Ha. Ha.
01:20:12	(Gasps )
01:20:25	(Screams )
01:20:33	(Chanting)
01:20:47	Give Galen's strength to Attila
01:21:47	- Hyah! Hyah!
00:00:31	(Chanting continues )
00:01:57	(Crack)
00:02:09	(Yells)
00:02:51	(Valentinian )
00:02:56	Attila is attacking
00:02:59	Didn't you say there were just...
00:03:04	Then he's fighting his own people.
00:03:09	Well done, Aetius.
00:03:11	All to your greater glory, Majesty.
00:03:18	You may fool an inexperienced youth,
00:03:21	but you know that Attila
00:03:25	- He's uniting them.
00:03:28	But if he ever does,
00:03:31	He will not attack Rome.
00:03:33	He'll attack the Germans,
00:03:36	How can you be sure?
00:03:38	In Rome, he saw things
00:03:41	I saw doubt grow in his eyes.
00:03:43	He came certain he could defeat us.
00:03:46	- And there's one other factor.
00:03:50	Attacking Rome
00:03:54	and that, he will never do.
00:03:57	- And if something happens to you?
00:04:04	Wine, anyone?
00:04:10	We miss you, Galen.
00:04:13	I wonder if
00:04:16	She had a vision about this place.
00:04:21	- Near my old village.
00:04:25	That's why I buried her here.
00:04:38	(N'Kara ) Will you go away again?
00:04:40	(Attila ) It depends
00:04:43	(N'Kara ) You'll attack
00:04:45	Not the city itself.
00:04:50	But the provinces are rich.
00:04:53	Can't you postpone it?
00:04:56	N'Kara, I have only
00:05:01	I have to think of the future.
00:05:03	I am thinking of the future.
00:05:06	A king must teach
00:05:08	Prince?
00:05:12	The midwives
00:05:20	- I hope it will be a boy.
00:05:25	(Laughing)
00:05:36	Why doesn't he come?
00:05:40	If he doesn't come soon,
00:05:44	A baby cannot be hurried,
00:05:47	He will come when he comes.
00:05:54	Just see that he comes safely!
00:06:10	Oh, you gods.
00:06:14	Make it a boy.
00:06:17	Make it a boy.
00:06:19	Make him strong.
00:06:24	A boy, Your Majesty.
00:06:42	Yes.
00:06:44	The son of a king.
00:06:50	And N'Kara?
00:07:23	N'Kara.
00:07:30	You have your prince.
00:07:38	Teach him well.
00:07:48	No.
00:07:52	No!
00:08:30	(Thunder)
00:08:50	Was this part of your vision?!
00:08:52	Was this part of your vision,
00:08:57	I curse you, Galen!
00:09:00	- And I curse you, gods!
00:09:12	(Grunting)
00:10:00	(Yelling)
00:10:25	Kneel!
00:10:26	Kneel before your new king.
00:10:30	Submit to him!
00:11:58	(Woman ) The messenger said
00:12:02	Yes. The city fell quickly.
00:12:04	The new siege engines worked
00:12:08	I'm glad.
00:12:12	- You're well?
00:12:14	- You were obeyed in my absence?
00:12:19	- And my other wives?
00:12:23	Good.
00:12:26	Where's my son?
00:12:29	You have many sons, my lord.
00:12:33	The eldest.
00:12:36	You have a dozen wives,
00:12:39	twice that many children.
00:12:43	And yet, all of us taken together
00:12:45	don't pleasure you
00:12:48	- He's my first-born.
00:12:53	I hold court this afternoon.
00:12:56	In the meantime, I wish to rest.
00:13:00	Attila...
00:13:05	I missed you.
00:13:08	It's good to be back.
00:13:24	Attila...
00:13:26	King of the Huns,
00:13:29	lord of all lands from
00:13:33	from the River Rhine
00:13:48	Our Great King graciously
00:14:00	I am King Canute of the Finns.
00:14:03	We welcome you as a friend
00:14:08	I bring tribute. Furs, gold
00:14:15	In the name of my people,
00:14:30	I am King Meloch of the Parthians.
00:14:33	I beg you to settle a dispute
00:14:36	and King Omar of Scythia.
00:14:38	- Concerning what?
00:14:41	- Where is Omar?
00:14:44	Justice requires that
00:14:47	Yes, but if you only...
00:14:51	Yes...Great King. Tomorrow.
00:14:59	Attila. Attila.
00:15:03	Attila.
00:15:06	He's all I hear about.
00:15:09	No such luck, Majesty. He's still
00:15:13	As long as he doesn't trouble us.
00:15:16	But he troubles the rest
00:15:20	Pleas for help
00:15:23	and from Theodosius himself.
00:15:26	"From Theodosius,
00:15:28	"to his beloved nephew,
00:15:31	"I beseech you, send aid,
00:15:35	Overrun.
00:15:36	He exaggerates. The walls of
00:15:41	But dozens of smaller cities
00:15:44	The provinces are stripped bare.
00:15:46	Attila demands 3,000lbs of gold
00:15:51	A Roman emperor, subject to
00:15:57	(Placidia ) And if
00:15:59	there will be nothing left
00:16:03	Aetius, you said if he threatened
00:16:07	Do you begin to feel the weight?
00:16:20	(Sighs )
00:16:22	Well, Aetius?
00:16:25	Once before, when Attila threatened,
00:16:29	- I propose to take another.
00:16:33	Yes.
00:16:34	I'll assess the situation
00:16:38	Yes.
00:16:40	Good idea. Go immediately.
00:16:51	- A word, Majesty, about your sister.
00:16:55	It is rumored
00:16:58	What? With whom?
00:17:00	- With Eugenius, sire.
00:17:04	- Not Eugenius her chamberlain?
00:17:10	Honoria is conspiring against me...
00:17:14	with a butler?!
00:17:22	You are a goddess.
00:17:24	We'll avoid killing him
00:17:27	He's a dolt, but he is my brother.
00:17:30	I've never known such passion.
00:17:33	Perhaps the fall festival
00:17:37	No, Latorius doesn't think so.
00:17:40	You spoke of our plans to Latorius?
00:17:43	We need an officer
00:17:47	My beautiful, stupid Eugenius.
00:17:50	We must keep everything secret
00:18:02	You should be leaving soon, Father.
00:18:07	- News?
00:18:10	She's been exiled to the East.
00:18:12	She might have been executed.
00:18:14	She'll probably wish she had been.
00:18:19	- I almost feel sorry for her.
00:18:23	If you see Attila,
00:18:25	Placidia was right.
00:18:29	He was a guest in our home.
00:18:31	Yes, well, I have to see
00:18:37	Take care while I'm away.
00:18:39	I will.
00:18:45	- Did you meet with the ambassador?
00:18:48	The longer I put him off,
00:18:53	And yet, is that a gain
00:18:56	I have long ears, sire,
00:18:59	and they've heard talk
00:19:02	Their loyalty is absolute,
00:19:06	We've conquered a hundred nations,
00:19:08	pressed the Eastern Empire
00:19:11	- yet do not move against the West.
00:19:15	- When will it be right, sire?
00:19:19	What other reason is given, Orestes?
00:19:25	Some say, sire, that you fear Aetius.
00:19:30	Forgive me, sire. A foolish rumor.
00:19:35	Who spreads this rumor?
00:19:39	- You, Great King.
00:19:41	Yes, by your refusal
00:19:46	- You have courage, Orestes.
00:19:49	I would not serve you if I
00:19:55	I am ruler, not only of the Huns,
00:20:01	- Whose kings obey your commands.
00:20:06	- I need their belief.
00:20:08	That's what I wait for.
00:20:10	The thing that will make them
00:20:16	- A sign, like the war god's sword?
00:20:22	What Aetius used to call a pretext.
00:20:24	And when it comes, I will know,
00:20:26	and then I will move
00:20:30	Yes, sire.
00:20:33	CONSTANTINOPLE
00:20:46	Aetius, welcome to the East.
00:20:49	(Aetius ) Thank you, Majesty.
00:20:51	I have kept your arrival secret,
00:20:55	It suits my purpose. Thank you.
00:20:59	And Honoria, I have not seen you
00:21:03	It pains me
00:21:06	Fortunately, my sister Pulcheria
00:21:10	Take me in to what?
00:21:13	Into a life dedicated to celibacy
00:21:19	- You must be joking.
00:21:23	- The devil's got in you.
00:21:26	(Pulcheria ) But we'll get him out.
00:21:29	I can see we have
00:21:37	I had hoped you would bring troops,
00:21:40	Ever since Attila crushed our army,
00:21:42	we huddle, trembling,
00:21:45	We have no troops to spare, Majesty.
00:21:47	- And money?
00:21:51	Then why did you bother to come?
00:21:55	To devise a plan, sire.
00:21:58	But it will take time.
00:22:03	We don't have time.
00:22:05	The nobles sell their very furniture
00:22:09	while refugees flood the city.
00:22:12	The rich give them work
00:22:15	As you can see, I do my share.
00:22:21	You spoke of a plan.
00:22:27	An empire built so quickly
00:22:30	(Theodosius )
00:22:33	(Aetius )
00:22:36	(Theodosius ) Rather vague.
00:22:40	Assassination.
00:22:45	Forgive me, Aetius.
00:22:47	I wanted you to see
00:22:52	This is Lygus,
00:22:54	adept at seeing without being seen,
00:22:57	skilful with weapons,
00:22:59	as you can see.
00:23:01	And best of all, he has no tongue.
00:23:04	So if he's caught,
00:23:10	Attila has spies as we do.
00:23:13	He'll hear of your plan and foil it.
00:23:16	Perhaps, perhaps not.
00:23:23	- You like the girl?
00:23:26	Her family was slaughtered by
00:23:30	Yes, if I may request
00:23:33	Please yourself. She is yours.
00:23:47	Your name?
00:23:49	Ilidico.
00:23:53	They tell me you have reason
00:23:57	My father was village chieftain.
00:24:00	I saw him die, my mother as well.
00:24:03	Bones left...
00:24:04	for the vultures.
00:24:07	- But you managed to escape.
00:24:11	Suppose I could arrange for you
00:24:14	- How?
00:24:18	Attila himself? How is it possible?
00:24:21	My question first.
00:24:24	- Yes, I would do it.
00:24:30	I would enter hell rejoicing if
00:24:39	We will assemble
00:24:42	Today we minister to the poor
00:24:56	You hate this place as much as I do.
00:25:00	What if I do?
00:25:03	You're wrong.
00:25:05	Do you have friends on the outside?
00:25:07	I've written a note.
00:25:13	Take it and the ring
00:25:17	Have your friend deliver these
00:25:20	and you and I will be free forever.
00:25:22	- What man?
00:25:32	We conquer cities, we rule the world,
00:25:35	and yet, we can't even build a bath.
00:25:38	There's a more pressing matter.
00:25:41	The Eastern emperor
00:25:43	- I want a bath like in Rome.
00:25:46	Our spies bring this rumor
00:25:49	This rumor has substance.
00:25:51	- There are so many foreigners.
00:25:54	Or have you forgotten?
00:25:56	I trust I've proved my loyalty, sire.
00:25:58	So you have.
00:26:00	Many times.
00:26:05	(Sighs )
00:26:06	Orestes, if it is my destiny to die,
00:26:11	- If not, no assassin can harm me.
00:26:16	And I ask you,
00:26:19	The marble has to be brought
00:26:22	the pipes angled and the furnace...
00:26:24	Enough.
00:26:26	- You have three days.
00:26:30	Yes, Great King, of course,
00:26:44	- That's Attila?
00:26:48	Try to keep the hatred
00:27:19	(Choking)
00:27:23	Your name is Lygus.
00:27:25	You were sent by Theodosius,
00:27:29	Is that not so?
00:27:47	(Yells)
00:27:49	(Groans )
00:27:58	Orestes!
00:28:03	You were supposed to call
00:28:06	- (Attila ) There was no need.
00:28:10	He's a brave man
00:28:15	- Send him back safely.
00:28:18	- How much was he to be paid?
00:28:21	(Attila ) Place the sum in a sack,
00:28:25	and let him return wearing it.
00:28:31	The emperor will be humiliated.
00:28:33	The blame lies with him
00:28:38	There may be other attempts, sire.
00:28:44	It's not my fate to be assassinated.
00:28:47	There are slaves, merchants, even
00:28:51	Today a peddler asked my servant
00:29:01	I'll find work near the bath,
00:29:05	Sooner or later, he'll notice me.
00:29:08	He will not be what you expect.
00:29:12	The other woman's village
00:29:16	She too began by hating him,
00:29:19	Then she was weak.
00:29:22	(Horses neighing)
00:29:43	Is this the man you spoke of?
00:29:46	- Yes.
00:29:59	Kneel before the King of the Huns.
00:30:03	Leave us.
00:30:09	About an hour ago, a plot to kill me
00:30:14	If I were, you'd be dead.
00:30:18	Yet you come disguised as a peasant.
00:30:22	To see what I wish to see,
00:30:26	And?
00:30:29	You've done well.
00:30:34	The lands I rule are as vast
00:30:42	There's more to empires than land.
00:30:46	The Colosseums? The great Circus?
00:30:48	Theatres? Aqueducts?
00:30:50	Give us time, Aetius.
00:30:53	It took Rome centuries
00:30:58	And what happens to us
00:31:02	- Do we sink into chaos and ruin?
00:31:10	Civilized men are easy to conquer,
00:31:13	but civilization...
00:31:16	still belongs to the civilized,
00:31:19	It belongs to whoever
00:31:26	Aetius, join me.
00:31:30	Once, you invited me to Rome.
00:31:33	You said we could
00:31:36	We still can.
00:31:37	Only now I invite you to stay here.
00:31:40	To serve you?
00:31:42	I'm a better man
00:31:47	I serve Rome.
00:32:02	Speak frankly. Do you plan
00:32:06	I have no such plans at the moment.
00:32:09	But in the future?
00:32:11	No one can tell the future.
00:32:13	Let's strike a bargain here and now.
00:32:16	A treaty of peace
00:32:21	I think that's the first sign
00:32:29	Will you make the treaty?
00:32:33	Empires expand until someone
00:32:38	So it was with Rome, so with us.
00:32:42	And so it will be
00:32:45	Then our business here is done.
00:32:49	So it seems.
00:33:41	Well done, Orestes.
00:33:42	I will use it tonight.
00:33:47	Which ones, Your Majesty?
00:33:51	All of them.
00:33:52	It's the only way to avoid a fight.
00:33:56	Yes, Your Majesty.
00:34:10	Majesty?
00:34:12	That girl, who is she?
00:34:16	- A slave.
00:34:19	Where is she from?
00:34:21	Newly arrived.
00:34:23	- I can find out.
00:34:27	Find out everything about her,
00:34:31	But your wives, Majesty,
00:34:34	Tell them it's not finished.
00:34:36	Spare their feelings,
00:34:56	Come closer.
00:35:08	Don't be afraid.
00:35:14	I won't hurt you.
00:35:31	What are you frightened of?
00:35:33	Among my people,
00:35:38	is dishonored forever.
00:35:40	You won't be dishonored.
00:35:42	Why else do kings
00:35:45	You won't be dishonored. I swear it.
00:35:52	Your name is Ilidico,
00:35:55	from a village to the north?
00:35:57	- My village was destroyed.
00:36:01	- Killed.
00:36:06	Those things happen in war.
00:36:10	But whatever can be done
00:36:14	Why?
00:36:18	- You please me.
00:36:23	But I will come to know you...
00:36:27	and you will come to know me.
00:36:32	As you wish, Great King.
00:36:36	When my village was destroyed,
00:36:41	Finally, I came to a road,
00:36:43	and the next day,
00:36:46	I will have them rewarded.
00:36:49	They were killed by robbers,
00:36:55	It wasn't luck
00:36:59	The gods work in mysterious ways.
00:37:02	They take with one hand
00:37:08	I don't understand.
00:37:13	- Are you still frightened of me?
00:37:16	Call me by my name.
00:37:19	- Is it permitted?
00:37:25	Then, no,
00:37:30	Attila.
00:37:41	News from Pannonia.
00:37:45	- Is he?
00:37:47	To some slave girl
00:37:50	I suppose, in addition to the fortune
00:37:54	I shall be expected
00:37:57	That's what you get
00:38:00	Why don't you stop being so smug
00:38:03	- That's what you're here for.
00:38:07	And I have every reason to
00:38:10	may not turn out
00:38:23	Gods of my father, curse this root,
00:38:28	And curse he who drinks it.
00:38:31	And give me the strength to hate
00:38:44	Your Majesty, Lord Orestes.
00:38:46	- What is it?
00:38:50	- From the emperor?
00:38:52	- a Roman princess named Honoria.
00:38:55	She wore it often.
00:38:59	Read it.
00:39:00	She says she's being held prisoner
00:39:05	If you rescue her, she'll marry you.
00:39:10	I have no need of another wife.
00:39:13	She promises, as her dowry,
00:39:18	There is my pretext.
00:39:20	She has no right to half the empire.
00:39:22	Perhaps you should consult a lawyer.
00:39:25	Attila is already
00:39:28	The wedding to the slave girl?
00:39:30	Postponed indefinitely.
00:39:32	All nations north of the Rhine
00:39:35	in a mighty crusade against
00:39:39	Then we must present a united front.
00:39:42	Attila has hammered us long enough.
00:39:45	It's your turn now, Flavius Aetius.
00:39:48	I'm sending Honoria
00:39:51	and I wish you the best of luck.
00:39:56	He marches on Rome within the month.
00:40:10	I've neglected you
00:40:13	I apologize.
00:40:16	They tell me you're going to war
00:40:21	I will probably never even meet her.
00:40:24	But it's given me
00:40:27	And our wedding?
00:40:30	It will have to be postponed
00:40:33	Several months at least.
00:40:38	And if I am not here
00:40:44	I will tell my servants
00:40:49	Wait.
00:40:52	I've displeased you.
00:40:55	My weddings are state affairs,
00:40:59	There is no time.
00:41:04	I thought I was the one in a hurry.
00:41:09	Perhaps I've changed.
00:41:16	I'm glad.
00:41:19	May I speak freely?
00:41:22	You may.
00:41:25	I've been told of another woman,
00:41:31	My first wife.
00:41:33	She died giving birth.
00:41:37	They say I'm of her very likeness.
00:41:39	You resemble her closely, yes.
00:41:42	Then who is it you marry?
00:41:45	Me or N'Kara?
00:41:51	If I had wanted nothing
00:41:54	I would have taken you by now.
00:41:56	But I haven't, have I?
00:41:59	No.
00:42:03	Then wait until I return,
00:42:07	will be queen of the world.
00:42:50	(Cheering)
00:43:18	(Yelling)
00:43:33	(Roaring)
00:43:39	(Screaming)
00:43:51	(Screams )
00:44:00	Battering ram!
00:44:04	(Screams )
00:44:24	(All yelling)
00:44:53	He's taken 30 cities in Gaul. Some
00:44:59	- While we did nothing.
00:45:02	- Nevertheless, they were Roman.
00:45:06	but in a crisis, that which is
00:45:13	Attila's carving a path wide enough
00:45:17	Clearly, he intends
00:45:21	If he wants to conquer Rome,
00:45:24	why doesn't he
00:45:26	Then the free tribes of Gaul
00:45:30	So he plans to conquer Gaul first?
00:45:32	As I would in his place.
00:45:34	Then where do we stop him?
00:45:41	Here, at Orleans.
00:45:45	He must be near there already.
00:45:47	- The siege began two days ago.
00:45:51	(Aetius ) I sent them some time ago.
00:45:54	- The city can hold for months.
00:45:59	500 leagues from his base,
00:46:01	with winter coming on,
00:46:04	- He'll be back next year.
00:46:07	will have taken effect.
00:46:09	Flavius Aetius, once again,
00:46:20	What if Orleans falls?
00:46:22	I'm confident that it won't.
00:46:24	You should have a contingency plan,
00:46:27	and it should be
00:46:30	- Theodoric wouldn't consider it.
00:46:34	She's his daughter, Aetius.
00:46:36	Can't blame him for wanting her back.
00:46:39	She's my child in every way.
00:46:41	Except by blood.
00:46:43	The fact of which
00:46:46	Whoever enlightens her dies.
00:46:50	I wouldn't meddle in family affairs,
00:46:52	but you always talk about
00:46:56	That sacrifice is not necessary,
00:47:01	Attila will be stopped at Orleans.
00:47:06	(Screaming)
00:47:08	Get those ladders back up - now!
00:47:12	(Confused shouting)
00:47:29	Move in there!
00:47:32	Bring the battering ram!
00:48:38	Train all the catapults at this
00:48:44	It is done.
00:48:54	(Man ) Clear!
00:48:55	Pull!
00:49:10	Your Majesty.
00:49:18	Pull!
00:49:21	Pull.
00:49:29	Clear!
00:49:30	Pull.
00:49:34	Pull!
00:49:37	Pull!
00:49:40	Pull!
00:49:50	Pull!
00:49:56	Pull!
00:50:03	Pull!
00:50:29	- You are certain?
00:50:31	- I saw it with my own eyes.
00:50:35	- Those who survived were executed.
00:50:39	Enslaved, and every building
00:50:44	Leave me.
00:51:01	(Giggling)
00:51:04	I think he loves me, Father,
00:51:06	even if he hasn't said so yet.
00:51:08	Who?
00:51:10	Livius. Who else?
00:51:13	Oh, yes, of course.
00:51:17	What's wrong?
00:51:20	- Attila's taken Orleans.
00:51:24	It seems I was mistaken.
00:51:27	What will you do?
00:51:29	Take a journey to Gaul.
00:51:34	I'd like you to come.
00:51:37	Now? Just when Livius is...
00:51:42	If you think you'll need me.
00:51:45	- I think I might.
00:52:01	(Valentinian ) Mmm...
00:52:03	(Laughing)
00:52:18	What's she doing here?
00:52:20	Take her back to prison at once.
00:52:22	- Valentinian, she's your sister.
00:52:26	She plots against me,
00:52:29	She's come to beg your forgiveness.
00:52:32	Haven't you, Honoria?
00:52:37	As your sister and loyal subject,
00:52:40	I humbly beg your forgiveness.
00:52:43	I'm touched!
00:52:45	- I told you!
00:52:47	You can't keep her locked up forever.
00:52:49	Can't I? We'll see.
00:52:51	- Guards, take her back to her cell!
00:52:55	Mother!
00:52:58	Tell me, Mother.
00:53:00	How can you be so concerned for one
00:53:04	- What are you talking about?
00:53:08	Your attempt to have me killed
00:53:12	You thought I didn't know.
00:53:15	- You're mad.
00:53:19	- The assassin carried your seal.
00:53:22	I saw it myself.
00:53:24	Since you became emperor I've only
00:53:29	Aetius.
00:53:38	(Aetius ) He's three days' march
00:53:43	(Theodoric) I'll withdraw
00:53:46	or perhaps I'll join his army,
00:53:49	Then you would be his servant.
00:53:52	I would also see Rome crushed.
00:53:54	I think I would enjoy that very much.
00:53:58	You and I have fought over land,
00:54:02	We fought over religion,
00:54:06	This isn't just
00:54:08	It's our world against his world.
00:54:15	Name your terms.
00:54:18	My men to fight under my banner.
00:54:22	You and I to command jointly.
00:54:27	You will return my daughter to me.
00:54:34	- Ask for something else.
00:54:38	She doesn't know she's your daughter.
00:54:42	Without me as an ally,
00:54:51	Hello, Father.
00:54:56	Who's this?
00:55:01	Father? Father?
00:55:05	Father!
00:55:07	Father...!
00:55:10	She'll be taken over the mountains
00:55:19	And now you know what it is
00:55:27	Gather your army.
00:55:30	- We must withdraw at first light.
00:55:36	Burn the villages.
00:55:39	Burn the crops.
00:55:41	Attila commands many nations,
00:55:47	If we take away his horses...
00:55:50	we can win.
00:55:59	Galen...
00:56:02	I used to make fun of your visions,
00:56:07	but I wish you were here now.
00:56:17	God of war,
00:56:21	you once gave me this sword
00:56:29	When I've been in need,
00:56:42	If I am still your chosen one,
00:56:45	if it is my destiny
00:56:51	send me a sign now.
00:57:00	Send me a sign!
00:57:15	Your Majesty,
00:57:18	- What's happened?
00:57:22	He takes position ten leagues away,
00:57:29	I thought the war gods refused me
00:57:34	What better sign than
00:58:03	Visigoths, the land
00:58:09	Fight well, or it belongs to Attila.
00:58:13	Your wives and daughters
00:58:19	Romans, you too
00:58:23	For if we fail,
00:58:25	and there's no one to oppose him.
00:58:28	Remember your ancestors.
00:58:31	Add their strength to yours,
00:58:34	or a flame that has lit the lives
00:58:38	will perish from the earth!
00:58:41	(Attila ) They retreat,
00:58:45	choose their ground with care.
00:58:48	They use tricks
00:58:52	We are strong and so they fear us.
00:58:57	Huns, it's enough to remind you
00:59:00	that we've fought many battles
00:59:05	To you nations and tribes
00:59:09	I say you are Huns in spirit!
00:59:13	You are invincible.
00:59:47	There is no retreat
00:59:50	We must hold this hill at all costs.
00:59:53	All is set, my lord.
01:00:11	It's marshland and they've dug pits.
01:00:13	We'll proceed on foot.
01:00:15	Dismount!
01:00:17	Archers to the front! All-out attack!
01:00:20	(Yelling)
01:01:07	Send a reserve unit to the line.
01:01:10	Second Cohort, forward!
01:01:29	Orestes!
01:01:32	- Orestes, fall back!
01:01:43	Fall back!
01:01:50	(Men moaning)
01:02:03	It's well entrenched, sir.
01:02:05	Keep half the company in reserve.
01:02:07	Send the other half
01:02:12	- On the flank?
01:02:15	Aetius will have to weaken
01:02:19	And when we does, we'll attack him.
01:02:22	Yes, sire.
01:02:28	Forward!
01:02:30	(Yelling)
01:02:36	It is done, sire.
01:02:55	They're attacking the Visigoths.
01:03:03	Hold this hill!
01:03:13	Reinforcement! Flank attack!
01:03:19	Let me have three cohorts
01:03:25	General, we'll be outflanked.
01:03:27	- It could be a diversion.
01:03:30	Why isn't Attila leading it?
01:03:35	General, I beg you.
01:03:41	- Take them.
01:04:08	It's working, sire.
01:04:11	Bring up the reserves.
01:04:13	Reserves to the front!
01:05:21	We'll never hold.
01:05:23	Forgive me. I should have stayed.
01:05:25	- I commanded. The blame is mine.
01:05:31	No.
01:05:34	I gave the only thing I love
01:05:38	Now I've lost Rome, too.
01:05:41	I'll die here.
01:05:45	But I give you one last order.
01:05:47	- Kill Theodoric.
01:06:58	All legions...
01:07:02	to the front.
01:07:10	The King is dead!
01:07:19	Charge!
01:08:46	(Yells)
01:08:49	Sire, we must retreat!
01:08:52	No.
01:08:55	We're pressed on all sides!
01:09:04	All to us, here, now!
01:09:21	Valorus, you were magnificent.
01:09:25	The Visigoths assumed
01:09:29	took revenge,
01:09:31	Never let it be said
01:09:37	God has more humor than you think.
01:09:39	The Visigoths are leaving camp.
01:09:43	(Aetius )
01:09:47	My father is dead
01:09:49	My brothers will start plotting.
01:09:52	- What difference can a day make?
01:09:56	I'd lose good men,
01:09:59	After the battle, I'll join you
01:10:04	I won't owe my throne to a Roman.
01:10:06	I leave in the morning.
01:10:19	The Romans have taken up
01:10:25	- And the Visigoths?
01:10:28	Perhaps they mourn Theodoric or
01:10:32	In any event, we face Aetius only.
01:10:36	Nor are we strong enough
01:10:39	Then we can withdraw in good order
01:10:44	So it seems.
01:10:46	In that case, Your Majesty, may I
01:10:51	A gift?
01:10:52	This morning I sent men to
01:10:56	They found these fragments.
01:11:00	There are smiths in Scythia who can
01:11:03	if you will allow it.
01:11:07	- I will allow it.
01:11:10	your destiny has not ended,
01:12:01	Aetius, your wisdom and valor
01:12:05	have once again saved Rome
01:12:10	Accept this laurel
01:12:14	and from your emperor.
01:13:36	(Clapping and chanting)
01:14:35	Orestes, we're retiring.
01:14:38	See that the guests
01:14:41	Yes, Your Majesty.
01:14:42	And may I offer you
01:14:46	You're a loyal servant, Orestes,
01:14:48	and one of the few men
01:16:23	Come, N'Kara.
01:16:27	It's time.
01:17:12	In my country, we have a custom.
01:17:14	The bride and groom have one last
01:17:18	Is it permitted?
01:17:21	Of course.
01:18:04	(Choking)
01:18:07	Attila?
01:18:08	(Groaning)
01:18:24	(Panting)
01:18:34	N'Kara...
01:19:06	Great King?
01:19:11	Great King?
01:19:16	Your Majesty?
01:20:10	Dead.
01:20:13	(Laughing)
01:21:19	(All wailing)
01:21:36	You wish to see me, Majesty?
01:21:38	Yes. We're celebrating
01:21:41	Naturally,
01:21:44	I'm flattered.
01:21:46	Is there any chance,
01:21:53	It's doubtful, sire.
01:21:54	The slaves who buried him will have
01:21:59	It's an old Hun custom.
01:22:01	It's a pity. I had hopes of
01:22:06	No doubt, that explains the custom.
01:22:10	At any rate, it appears
01:22:14	You were set free
01:22:18	and you've dealt with him.
01:22:33	You said, "Anything that isn't
01:22:40	And with Attila gone...
01:22:43	you're no longer necessary.
01:23:22	(Narrator) 'With Attila dead,
01:23:26	'the various nations
01:23:29	'With Aetius dead, there was
01:23:34	'Within a generation,
01:23:37	'and the centuries of chaos
01:23:41	'descended on the Western world.'

Attila
