Seven years from home,
1:21:03
Now we drift from one far region to another,
1:21:05
Chasing nomads and bandits, when
Macedonia bleeds it's manpower..
1:21:09
For what? To build roads in Asia? To give these people cities?
1:21:13
To found cities, and expand our reach is not to drift Parmenion.
1:21:17
What benefit to Macedon?
1:21:18
It's far richer than before!
1:21:19
Look what you give them!
1:21:21
With respect for your age, Parmenion,
had you fought better at Gaugamela,
1:21:23
..when your flank was crumbling, we could have had Darius.
1:21:25
How dare you Nearchus!
1:21:26
GENERAL Nearchus to you boy.
1:21:29
Alexander spread our flag too thin! There was
nothing my father, any of you could have done.
1:21:34
Sit down.
1:21:40
Alexander, I have known you since you were born,
1:21:43
I supported you at your father's death.
1:21:46
At the very least, for Zeus's sake,
1:21:49
..and in respect to the council that chose you king,
1:21:52
Give us a Macedonian heir. A MACEDONIAN heir.
1:22:03
You have been heard clearly.
1:22:04
PARMENION!
1:22:06
And after the wedding you will take brigades back to Babylon,
1:22:09
Where I look to you, and Antipater in Greece,
to maintain our empire and supply this expedition.
1:22:15
I will away to the north with my advance army at Marakand.
1:22:17
And I pray to Apollo you soon realize how far
you've turned from your father's path!
1:22:21
Ah damn you Parmenion by the gods and your Apollo!
1:22:24
What was in my father's guts?
1:22:26
Was it over ripened reason like yours?
1:22:27
He never lusted for war Alexander!.. or enjoyed it so!
1:22:31
He consulted his peers in counsel, among
equals, hmmn? The Macedonian way.
1:22:37
He didn't make decisions based on his personal desires.
1:22:39
I have taken us further than my father ever dreamed.
1:22:42
Old man, we are in new worlds.
1:22:47
Alexander, be reasonable!
1:22:51
Were they ever meant to be our equals?
1:22:53
Share our rewards? You remember what Aristotle said,
1:22:58
An Asian? What would a wedding vow ever mean
to a race that has never kept their word to a Greek?
