Revolt of the Praetorians Page #5

Valerius and Lucilla have been caught.

The others have been killed.

Lucilla...

Now, let's go back to our refuge.

There, we'll decide what to do.

We can not let Valerius and Lucilla

in the hands of that mad man.

Elpidione, return to the palace

and wait for our instructions. Let's go!

Go inside, damned traitor!

- Valerius? Valerius Rufus?

- Sejanus!

Why didn't you say something?

We would have helped you.

Thanks, Sejanus, but the truth is,

I could not trust anyone.

And I'm not sure that

my guards want to betray Caesar.

- At least for now.

- I underestimated you, my friend.

Between you and a mad Emperor,

they will not hesitate on the choice.

- They admire you!

- Now, everything is over.

It is not over!

We're here to help you.

- Then, we have some hope.

- Tell me what to do?

- Do you know god Mitra cave temple?

- yes.

Very well. There you'll find Fabius,

Nerva and other friends. Tell them...

Stupid! If you had accepted my love,

you would have saved yourself...

...as well as you father,

Nerva and all the others.

Now, all of them will die.

First, will be Valerius and you.

Then, your father, Nerva

and all others!

Open up!

By out Divine Emperor's order,

Valerius Rufus...

...and Lucilla, of Fabius Lucillus,

have been sentenced to death!

The execution will be tomorrow

in the Imperial Garden...

...in the presence of our Emperor God.

Let's go.

- Poor souls, they have no hope.

- Why have they been sentenced to death?

Damned cowards. If I could

I would kill anyone of them.

I would start with Domitian.

- Martin, be quiet, arent you afraid?

- I'm not afraid. We need to fight.

They took all the money. We can't go to

the mills. We'll die of hunger soon.

- He is right.

- And what do you want to do?

- We have to revolt!

- Do not make me laugh!

To organize a revolt, you need

an intelligent, brave leader.

And tomorrow in Rome

this man will be executed.

We can see that the gods

can not alter the destiny.

Let's go,

if you want to eat tonight.

- Yes, Nerva is right.

- There's no options. It's revolting time.

We have the weapons, the praetorians

and the people on our side.

- Yes, it's revolting time!

- We have to act.

- We can't wait more. Death to Domitian!

- Friends, wait a minute.

A revolt will not save

Valerius and Lucilla's lives.

Domitian for sure

would not let them live.

Fabius is right. At the first sign

of revolt, they would be dead.

Not even me with my praetorians

I would be able to stop it.

The guards and the gladiators

are more than us.

The only way to save Valerius

and Lucilla is to get inside the palace.

A surprise attack that will end

with the domination of Domitian.

- This would be the sign of the revolt.

- Yes!

You and the Praetorians will intervene,

only, when we fight with the guards.

I understand.

Only this way, we can be assured that

the battle's destiny will be ours.

For this purpose,

we need more men.

People ready for everything. Determined

and with skillful hands. And I know them.

Some of you will go with me,

while some others will be ready...

...to help and instruct the people.

- Yes. But how do we get in the palace?

- By the sewers?

- No, by the sewers we can't go anymore.

The passage that Valerius used,

has been blocked by Caesar's order.

- But...

- But?

- We can get in by the prison.

- But how?

I'll take care of that.

And you, tomorrow night...

This will be an unforgettable night,

believe me.

- Are they all here?

- Yes.

- And your brave men?

- Also.

You liar! By all the gods,

maybe you're right!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go...

- Who is she? - It's my daughter.

- You shouldn't have brought her.

- She's going to help us.

- Does not matter!

- What do you bring there?

- It's a surprise for Caesar.

- What do you have in your hands?

- Don't you see? A bow and arrows.

- What for? Are you catching mosquitoes?

- Yes! Let's go.

- Right on the target!

- Quickly, before someone comes!

Get away! Get away!

Where no elephant can pass,

can pass a flee, can't it?

Go ahead! Go ahead!

Look there!

Our flee is wonderful.

Wonderful! Isn't it?

- Didn't I tell you.

- Let's go! Fast.

Alarm! Alarm!

- Come with me.

- Free the prisoners and lock the doors.

Nerva! Trebaccio!

Thank you.

Hide yourselves!

The other guards are coming!

Lets go Girona! Hold on!

Don't worry. Show them your skills.

Girona is going to lose.

You see?

Here are the guests of honor.

Valerius, Lucilla.

You could not miss this night.

We celebrate your death.

Yes my friends, it's true.

You'll both, die soon.

I'll get rid of you forever.

For the traitor Valerius

to suffer twice as a witness...

...we'll start

with the lovely Lucilla.

I forgot to mention how she'll die.

Immersed in boiling lead!

Alarm! Alarm!

You see? A mosquito!

Watch out! Kill him!

Get him!

Help! He's going to kill us all.

Damned traitor! Let's get out of here!

There. That lid gives access

to the Imperial Garden.

Very well. Give me a hand!

It opens or not.

Behind you, Valerius!

You see?

Another mosquito caught.

- In charge!

- Call more guards!

Protect Valerius and Lucilla.

Here we come, Valerius!

Let's do it!

One! Two! Three!

Quickly, call the other guards!

Who say they're weak?

One! Two! Three!

Where are the Praetorians?

Where are they?

- Watch out! More guards are coming.

- Let's fight them, men!

Let's kill all these

damned rebels!

I caught one!

Another!

- Help me reach the other side!

- Give a hand to Valerius!

Kill him!

Valerius! Valerius!

I caught Artamne.

I can't believe it!

Watch out, more guards!

Form a square, quickly!

Stop or I kill her, you traitor!

- Valerius! Valerius!

- Kill him! Kill him!

- Let's go, Praetorians! -Dead to Domitian!

Brave, Valerius! Brave, Cocceio Nerva!

It's Sejanus. It's Sejanus!

The victory is ours!

Straight ahead, guards! Follow me!

Surrender yourselves!

Let go the weapons!

Surrender yourselves!

Let go the weapons!

Go there, now!

Quickly!

- Fabius, it's time to save the people.

- Alright!

Sejanus, tell your men

to open the doors.

- If necessary, break the opponents.

- I'll do it right away!

- And Valerius?

- Lets' look for him.

Very well.

I'll kill you myself, traitor!

I've seen your injustices,

so many times.

Brave Valerio! Brave Valerio!

Domitian is dead!

Greetings to the Emperor Cocceio Nerva!

Greetings to the new Emperor!
