2:09:01
between two armies
with my back to the sea.
2:09:04
He knows my only other choice
is Rome.
2:09:08
Somewhere on the way,
we meet.
2:09:11
If he beats us,
he becomes the saviour of Rome...
2:09:14
and there's his fii nal victory
over the senate.
2:09:16
General, allow me
to redeem myself in your eyes.
2:09:21
For a very small commission...
2:09:23
I can arrange foryou, your family
and your leaders, ofcourse...
2:09:27
to be smuggled out of Italy and
transported to an eastern country...
2:09:30
where men ofsubstance like you
are welcome and appreciated.
2:09:33
You can live there like kings
for the rest ofyour lives.
2:09:36
What do you think, General?
2:09:38
Go away.
2:09:41
Go away?
2:09:56
Tell the trumpeters
to sound assembly.
2:10:06
Tonight a Roman army lands
in the harbour of Brundusium.
2:10:11
Another army is approaching
us from the west.
2:10:14
Between them,
they hope to trap us here...
2:10:17
against the sea.
2:10:19
The Cilician pirates have betrayed us.
We have no ships.
2:10:22
''By order ofthe senate...
2:10:25
be it known that we have
this day elected...
2:10:29
Marcus Licinius Crassus...
2:10:31
fii rst consul ofthe Republic...
2:10:34
and commander in chief
ofthe armies of Rome.''
2:10:39
Hail Crassus!
2:10:42
Rome will not allow us
to escape from Italy.
2:10:47
We have no choice
but to march against Rome herself...
2:10:50
and end this war the only way
it could have ended:
2:10:55
by freeing every slave in Italy.
2:10:58
I promise you...
