Revolt of the Praetorians Page #2

We must keep an eye on Caesar.

Of course.

That's why I'm here.

Lucilla and the other girls

should escape tonight.

Theyll hide in Nerva's estate.

If Domitian catch them,

we'll certainly have troubles.

I'll let the others know immediately.

Zuza! Go with Lucilla and tell her mother.

- Alright, I'll tell her right away.

Valerius, when will we see each other?

Soon. I can't stay too long,

away from you.

You're telling me you couldn't find him.

As if the ground had swallowed him?

You're all such idiots, incapable.

I'll have you all killed.

I think I know who he is.

Something I've seen.

What do you know?

I was in the garden

when I saw someone with a mask.

Go on!

Well, as I approached him,

I realized that I knew him.

Who was it?

It was a Phoenician fighter

I've seen recently fighting.

- We have to arrest and kill him!

- It's not worth it.

Wait for your enemies new try, soon...

...and this time

do not waste it.

Get out of my sight!

Why wait?

To make the enemy stronger?

I'm going to act

before the red wolf does it.

I will have all the patricians

and the suspect senators arrested.

I know them well...

Silvio Rutillus, Flavio Senhori,

Sillio Quintino...

I would not do it, divine.

The walls can hear.

Elpidione is right. If you do it,

you'll increase the ire of the gladiators.

I'll tell Soterus whom he should arrest.

It will be a master play.

This way, without any danger,

we'll have our enemies, in our hands.

You're a genius Artamne.

You have my approval.

As long as, it is done

before dawn.

Now come, I will give

the instructions to Soterus.

Divine Caesar...

would you allow me to go out.

- Where are you going?

- I have a meeting, Divine.

In truth, is a lady that is

in love with me. She's so pretty.

- Go, Elpidione.

- Thank you, Divine.

You know what they say?

Elpidione is great with women.

Elpidione is great with...

Do not make me laugh.

Arrest all people

that Artamne tells you.

Kill them and throw their bodies

to the river. Go!

Tomorrow you'll have no more enemies.

And you'll ever hear about the red wolf.

Eh, eh, do not rush.

Take away the sword!

What do you want?

What do you know?

Do not worry, Centurion.

I won't turn you in.

I hate Domitian as much as you.

I'll help you fight the tyrant.

You want to help, how?

Come on, speak up!

A while ago Domitian ordered Artamne

with Soterus gladiators...

...arrest all patrician suspects.

You there!

- What happened?

- The gladiators arrested the boss.

They came a little ago, by surprise,

and took him and his friends.

The patricians tried to fight back

but were all arrested.

And Lucilla?

She had just left with the other girls

and her mother.

- Did you see where they went?

- They went towards the river.

As Roman citizens,

we have the right to a fair trial!

Traitor! Ask your God, since it's

your last request, before you die!

- Runaway! Run away!

- Arrest him, and catch the patricians!

Damned bastard. Search for him!

Soterus, we caught these two.

Speak up, or I'll make you grow

a few more centimeters!

Well, are you going to tell me,

who is the red wolf?

We'll ready to die,

but you will know nothing.

Keep an eye on them.

You're responsible for their lives.

They still are going to be useful.

When they recover,

give them, two days to speak.

The Divine Caesar Domitian

has declared that, if in two days...

...the red wolf do not turn himself in,

or his identity is revealed...

...the senators Flavius and Rutillus

will be executed in public.

Who reveal...

...the red wolf's identity

or assist in his capture...

...will have a reward

of 10000 sestercios.

By all the gods!

Even if I knew something,

Caesar would never hear it from me.

Finally, someone who scares,

and also challenges him.

If only he could join us.

Fight by our side.

Who would be, this red wolf?

A Senator? A Patrician?

Or perhaps one of us?

- Father! Father!

- Greetings my friends.

- What have you decided?

- Nothing. We're discussing what to do.

Friends, there's no more time to waste.

We have to fight!

We're a few, but soon,

the people will be with us.

What do you intend to do?

First:
we need weapons.

And I took care of that.

- Outside, I have a cart full of them.

- Excellent!

Second:
we need to help

Flavius and Rutilus

We can't leave them

in the hands of Caesar.

That's what we're talking about.

Attacking the palace would be foolish.

Then?

Then, I think I know what to do.

When the soldiers are in the mountains

We'll attack once...

...and bite them from every side.

Then...

...we'll use your tactics,

at the right time.

Now, let's hide the weapons.

They'll be very useful.

As for Flavius and Rutilus,

we both, can handle it.

Alright.

Hide them in Calpurnius's cave.

They will be there, handy and safe.

- I'll do that.

- See you later.

Move!

Move!

Let's go!

Lazy scum! Hurry up!

- Useless creatures!

- Stop!

Four stay here, the others go there.

Let's go!

Welcome, Cocceius Nerva.

- It's an honor to welcome you.

- Greetings to you, Calpurnius.

Our friend Fabius

advised me, to see you.

We want you to keep these

for a awhile.

Yes, I see. Tell him that I have

a great admiration for him.

- He can always count on me.

- Thank you.

Let's hide them there, in the caves.

They'll be safer, away from the slaves.

They're dangerous and can't be trusted.

They're with me for the bed and food.

Come.

Let's do some work!

Here we are my friends!

Let's unload, quickly!

Help! Help!

Please, someone help us!

The red wolf kidnapped Artamne.

Quickly!

- Watch out! The red wolf!

Sentinels, watch out!

Move, go up or else

you'll regret!

There he is!

Decurion!

Decurion, here they are. Decurion!

Guards, here.

Follow me, quickly!

Quickly!

Let's get out of here!

Had you been on guard,

instead of sleeping...

...perhaps you'd have had time to

warn the guards, and save your queen.

Do not fear for Artamne's life, Divine...

They did not kill her, for a reason.

They will not harm her.

Ah, you great fool!

A man gets in and out of the palace,

as if it was his home...

...and you tell me not to fear!

Although... I believe to be someone

that has access to the palace.

I could not agree more, Caesar.

Only someone as Valerius Rufus,

would be able to get the red wolf.

If you get him, I will nominate you

commander of the Praetorians

Thank you, Divine.

I promise to search everywhere.

Get out!

Everything is alright, Nerva.

The place is safe. He'll be on guard.

Very well, you know who she is.

Nobody can touch her.

Keep her face covered. She shouldn't

know where she is and the way back.

I tell this,

for your own safety.

You can count on me. As for him,

will do what you ask of him.

- Let me go!

- I have to go. Goodbye. - Thank you.

Let's move!

To the ground. Sit down!

I only follow orders.

Let me go! Remove my hood

and you'll see who I am!

Do you want to be crucified?

Let me go!

Let me go!

Please, listen to me!
