1
00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:51,817
Our world is gone now.
2
00:02:53,754 --> 00:02:56,382
Smashed by the wars.
3
00:02:58,258 --> 00:03:02,126
Now I am the keeper of his body...
4
00:03:02,696 --> 00:03:06,598
...embalmed here, in the Egyptian ways.
5
00:03:06,767 --> 00:03:10,828
I followed him as Pharaoh
and have now ruled 40 years.
6
00:03:11,004 --> 00:03:12,232
Hello, Papa.
7
00:03:12,406 --> 00:03:14,738
I am the victor...
8
00:03:14,908 --> 00:03:18,810
...but what does it all mean, when
there is no one left to remember...
9
00:03:19,413 --> 00:03:21,779
...the great cavalry charge at Gaugamela...
10
00:03:21,949 --> 00:03:25,441
...or the mountains of the Hindu Kush...
11
00:03:25,619 --> 00:03:31,524
...when we crossed
a 100,000-man army into India?
12
00:03:37,431 --> 00:03:40,958
He was a god, Cadmos...
13
00:03:41,134 --> 00:03:43,762
...or as close as anything I've ever seen.
14
00:03:43,937 --> 00:03:47,771
"Tyrant!" they yell so easily. I laugh.
15
00:03:47,941 --> 00:03:50,671
No tyrant ever gave back so much.
16
00:03:50,844 --> 00:03:54,974
What do they know of the world,
these schoolboys?
17
00:03:55,782 --> 00:03:58,148
It takes strong men to rule.
18
00:03:58,318 --> 00:04:04,814
Alexander was more, he was a Prometheus,
a friend to man. He changed the world.
19
00:04:05,425 --> 00:04:08,519
Before him, there were tribes...
20
00:04:08,695 --> 00:04:13,029
...and after him, all was possible.
21
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,035
There was suddenly a sense the world
could be ruled by one king...
22
00:04:18,205 --> 00:04:20,696
...and be better for all.
23
00:04:21,008 --> 00:04:23,738
Eighteen great Alexandrias he built.
24
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:29,143
It was an empire, not of land
and gold, but of the mind.
25
00:04:29,316 --> 00:04:32,410
A Hellenic civilization...
26
00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:36,784
...open to all.
27
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,726
But how can I say it?
How can I tell you what it was like...
28
00:04:43,897 --> 00:04:48,425
...to be young, to dream big dreams?
29
00:04:48,602 --> 00:04:53,471
To believe when Alexander looked you
in the eye, you could do anything.
30
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,505
Anything.
31
00:04:57,411 --> 00:05:03,907
In his presence, by the light of Apollo,
we were better than ourselves.
32
00:05:06,019 --> 00:05:07,452
Truly...
33
00:05:08,055 --> 00:05:14,551
...I've known many great men
in my life, but only one colossus.
34
00:05:14,728 --> 00:05:17,595
And only now, when old,
do I understand...
35
00:05:17,764 --> 00:05:22,258
...who this force of nature really was.
36
00:05:26,506 --> 00:05:27,871
Or do I?
37
00:05:29,242 --> 00:05:33,736
Did such a man as Alexander exist?
Of course not.
38
00:05:33,914 --> 00:05:37,247
We idolize him,
make him better than he was.
39
00:05:37,417 --> 00:05:42,218
Men, all men, reach and fall...
40
00:05:43,056 --> 00:05:45,650
...reach and fall.
41
00:05:50,831 --> 00:05:57,327
In the East, the vast Persian Empire
ruled almost all the known world.
42
00:05:58,472 --> 00:06:01,737
In the West,
the once great Greek city-states...
43
00:06:01,908 --> 00:06:07,312
...Thebes, Athens, Sparta,
had fallen from pride.
44
00:06:07,914 --> 00:06:12,044
For 100 years now, the Persian kings
had bribed the Greeks...
45
00:06:12,219 --> 00:06:15,484
...with their gold to fight as mercenaries.
46
00:06:16,022 --> 00:06:21,016
It was Philip, the one-eyed,
who changed all this...
47
00:06:21,194 --> 00:06:25,995
...uniting tribes of illiterate sheepherders
from the high and lowlands.
48
00:06:26,166 --> 00:06:30,330
With his blood and guts,
he built a professional army...
49
00:06:30,504 --> 00:06:34,304
...that brought the devious Greeks
to their knees.
50
00:06:35,342 --> 00:06:37,833
He then turned his eye on Persia...
51
00:06:38,345 --> 00:06:42,076
...where it was said
the new Great King Darius himself...
52
00:06:42,249 --> 00:06:46,515
...on his throne in Babylon, feared Philip.
53
00:06:51,124 --> 00:06:57,290
It was from these loins of war
that Alexander was born, in Pella.
54
00:07:07,707 --> 00:07:12,167
Some called his mother,
Queen Olympias, a sorceress...
55
00:07:12,345 --> 00:07:18,841
...and said that Alexander was the
child of Dionysus. Others, Zeus.
56
00:07:20,854 --> 00:07:25,188
But truly, there was not a man
in Macedonia who didn't look...
57
00:07:25,358 --> 00:07:30,125
...at father and son, side by side,
and wonder.
58
00:07:30,297 --> 00:07:36,793
Fortune follows bold ones
59
00:07:38,271 --> 00:07:44,767
Trust the ones who give you love
60
00:07:45,278 --> 00:07:51,683
Life has just begun, son
61
00:07:51,852 --> 00:07:55,583
Her skin is water.
62
00:07:55,755 --> 00:07:58,053
Her tongue is fire.
63
00:07:59,326 --> 00:08:01,658
She is your friend.
64
00:08:04,331 --> 00:08:06,629
Take it.
65
00:08:09,336 --> 00:08:15,741
If you hesitate, she will strike.
Remember that.
66
00:08:16,610 --> 00:08:18,908
Never hesitate.
67
00:08:22,015 --> 00:08:24,142
Yes.
68
00:08:25,685 --> 00:08:28,245
They are like people.
69
00:08:29,356 --> 00:08:35,852
You can love them for years.
Feed them, nurture them...
70
00:08:36,530 --> 00:08:41,160
...but still, they can turn on you.
71
00:08:48,642 --> 00:08:51,133
Don't hurt her.
72
00:08:52,579 --> 00:08:54,376
Good.
73
00:08:56,816 --> 00:08:58,249
Come.
74
00:09:04,524 --> 00:09:06,458
He calls me a barbarian.
75
00:09:06,626 --> 00:09:10,494
Philip makes a mockery
of Dionysus every night.
76
00:09:35,455 --> 00:09:41,724
Women are the only ones
who know Dionysus.
77
00:10:14,394 --> 00:10:16,862
My little Achilles.
78
00:10:38,251 --> 00:10:41,379
Stay, Alexander, down. Down.
79
00:10:42,889 --> 00:10:44,857
What is it you want?
80
00:10:45,025 --> 00:10:46,890
Six months. Did you miss me?
81
00:10:47,060 --> 00:10:50,723
- No. Not here!
- Proud bitch. I'm still your king.
82
00:10:50,897 --> 00:10:53,923
King of what? Sheepherders?
83
00:10:58,872 --> 00:11:03,809
- I am of Achilles' royal blood.
- The blood of Herakles runs in my veins.
84
00:11:03,977 --> 00:11:06,946
- You are nothing but a drunken whore.
- Shut your mouth.
85
00:11:07,113 --> 00:11:08,876
You 10-titted bitch from Hades!
86
00:11:09,049 --> 00:11:12,541
Which god could I curse to
have ever laid eyes on you!
87
00:11:12,719 --> 00:11:15,552
Do you think people respect you?
88
00:11:15,722 --> 00:11:18,589
You think they don't know your bastards?
89
00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:30,494
Damn your sorceress soul! You keep him
here like one of your snakes!
90
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:33,605
I told you not!
I told you not.
91
00:11:33,773 --> 00:11:36,469
- You'll obey me.
- I will not.
92
00:11:36,643 --> 00:11:40,977
You'll obey me, or I'll kill you
with my own hands.
93
00:11:43,683 --> 00:11:47,676
No! No! Stop! Papa!
94
00:11:49,689 --> 00:11:53,181
- Obey me!
- Your Majesty! No!
95
00:11:54,928 --> 00:11:56,759
In the name of the gods.
96
00:11:56,930 --> 00:12:02,129
He will never be yours! Never!
97
00:12:02,302 --> 00:12:06,966
In my womb, I carried my avenger!
98
00:12:16,349 --> 00:12:19,682
In the world he grew up to...
99
00:12:19,853 --> 00:12:24,790
...I've come to believe it was in
friendship that Alexander found his sanity.
100
00:12:24,958 --> 00:12:28,394
You don't need much to fight.
101
00:12:28,561 --> 00:12:34,989
When you're in the front ranks of a battle,
facing some Northern barbarian tribe...
102
00:12:35,168 --> 00:12:39,229
...courage won't be in the lining
of your stomach, Nearchus.
103
00:12:39,405 --> 00:12:43,341
It's in the heart of a man.
104
00:12:43,510 --> 00:12:47,810
You don't need to eat every day
or until you're full, Ptolemy.
105
00:12:47,981 --> 00:12:50,381
You don't need to lie in bed
in a morning...
106
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:54,748
...when you can have some good bean soup,
Cassander, after a forced night march.
107
00:12:54,921 --> 00:13:00,018
Come on, Alexander. Come on.
108
00:13:00,193 --> 00:13:03,094
Who will respect you as a king?
You think because of your father?
109
00:13:03,263 --> 00:13:09,429
The first rule of war is to do what you
ask your men to do. No more, no less.
110
00:13:12,939 --> 00:13:14,566
Good. That's it.
111
00:13:14,741 --> 00:13:19,269
Well done, Hephaistion. Good wrestling.
That's what I want.
112
00:13:19,445 --> 00:13:20,969
Come, come, come.
113
00:13:21,147 --> 00:13:22,944
You did well, but you lost.
114
00:13:23,116 --> 00:13:28,611
Now, both of you, congratulate
the other. Go on.
115
00:13:28,788 --> 00:13:31,518
Would you want me to let you win,
Alexander?
116
00:13:33,593 --> 00:13:35,823
You're right.
117
00:13:35,995 --> 00:13:39,055
But I promise you, I will beat
you one day, Hephaistion.
118
00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:46,296
It was said later that Alexander
was never defeated...
119
00:13:46,472 --> 00:13:49,930
...except by Hephaistion's thighs.
120
00:13:50,610 --> 00:13:53,738
Although an inferior race...
121
00:13:53,913 --> 00:13:58,646
...the Persians control at least
four-fifths of the known world.
122
00:13:58,818 --> 00:14:04,085
But is it possible that the source
of Egypt's mighty River Nile...
123
00:14:04,257 --> 00:14:07,920
...could rise in these distant
mountains of the outer earth?
124
00:14:08,094 --> 00:14:14,158
If so, an experienced navigator
could find his way here...
125
00:14:14,334 --> 00:14:18,998
...by this river east, down
into the great plains of India...
126
00:14:19,172 --> 00:14:23,768
...out into the eastern ocean
at end of the world...
127
00:14:23,943 --> 00:14:27,845
...and by this route up the Nile...
128
00:14:28,014 --> 00:14:34,112
...back to Egypt, into the Middle Sea
and home to Greece.
129
00:14:34,787 --> 00:14:37,654
Now, if only these frogs
could look outward...
130
00:14:37,824 --> 00:14:40,884
...and act on their favored position
at the center...
131
00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:42,960
...Greece could rule the world.
132
00:14:43,396 --> 00:14:48,857
Why is it, master, in myth,
these lands you speak of are known?
133
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:55,307
India, where Herakles
and Dionysus traveled.
134
00:14:55,475 --> 00:15:00,742
All these men who went east,
Theseus, Jason, Achilles, were victorious.
135
00:15:01,147 --> 00:15:04,981
From generation to generation,
their stories have been passed on.
136
00:15:05,151 --> 00:15:07,745
Why? Unless there was truth to them?
137
00:15:07,921 --> 00:15:11,721
Tales of Amazons? No, Alexander.
138
00:15:11,891 --> 00:15:15,657
Only common people believe these tales,
as they believe most anything.
139
00:15:15,828 --> 00:15:20,458
We are here precisely to educate
ourselves against such foolish passions.
140
00:15:22,001 --> 00:15:26,836
But if we are superior to the Persians,
as you say, why do we not rule them?
141
00:15:27,006 --> 00:15:32,376
It is... It has always been
our Greek dream to go east.
142
00:15:33,446 --> 00:15:38,577
The East has a way of swallowing
men and their dreams.
143
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,912
Master?
144
00:15:42,088 --> 00:15:43,316
- Master?
- Yes?
145
00:15:43,489 --> 00:15:44,820
- Master!
- Out with it!
146
00:15:44,991 --> 00:15:47,926
- Why are the Persians so cruel?
- Oh, come on, Nearchus.
147
00:15:48,094 --> 00:15:50,358
That is not the subject for today,
Nearchus.
148
00:15:50,530 --> 00:15:55,160
But it is true that the Oriental races
are known for their barbarity...
149
00:15:55,335 --> 00:15:58,168
...and their slavish devotion
to their senses.
150
00:15:58,338 --> 00:16:02,172
Excess in all things is the undoing of men.
151
00:16:02,342 --> 00:16:04,936
That is why we Greeks are superior.
152
00:16:05,111 --> 00:16:07,671
We practice control of our senses.
153
00:16:07,847 --> 00:16:10,213
Moderation, we hope.
154
00:16:10,383 --> 00:16:12,783
And what of Achilles at Troy, master?
155
00:16:12,952 --> 00:16:17,889
- Was he not excessive?
- Achilles simply lacks restraint.
156
00:16:18,057 --> 00:16:22,050
He dominates others so completely that
even when he withdraws from battle...
157
00:16:22,228 --> 00:16:25,459
...crazed with grief over
his dead lover, Patroclus...
158
00:16:25,631 --> 00:16:30,534
...he seriously endangers his own army.
He is a deeply selfish man.
159
00:16:30,703 --> 00:16:34,605
Would you say the love between Achilles
and Patroclus is a corrupting one?
160
00:16:35,775 --> 00:16:39,267
When men lie together in lust,
it is a surrender to the passions...
161
00:16:39,445 --> 00:16:43,279
...and does nothing
for the excellence in us.
162
00:16:43,449 --> 00:16:47,886
Nor does any other excess, Cassander,
jealousy among them.
163
00:16:48,454 --> 00:16:53,448
But when men lie together, and knowledge
and virtue are passed between them...
164
00:16:53,626 --> 00:16:57,221
...that is pure and excellent.
165
00:16:57,397 --> 00:17:01,561
When they compete to bring out the good,
the best in each other...
166
00:17:01,734 --> 00:17:05,670
...this is the love between men that
can build a city-state...
167
00:17:05,838 --> 00:17:08,329
...and lift us from our frog pond.
168
00:17:13,312 --> 00:17:17,806
Philip brought such as Aristotle from
Athens to educate our rough people.
169
00:17:17,984 --> 00:17:22,421
And growing more ambitious, he now
planned the invasion of Persia.
170
00:17:28,761 --> 00:17:33,027
The best you can do, Cleitus? Back
to the phalanx with you, I'll ride him myself.
171
00:17:33,199 --> 00:17:35,565
No one will ride that beast, Your Majesty.
172
00:17:36,169 --> 00:17:37,727
Not with your leg.
173
00:17:39,072 --> 00:17:40,801
He's been beaten far too often.
174
00:17:42,108 --> 00:17:44,668
My noble king,
he's a high-spirited animal, yes.
175
00:17:44,844 --> 00:17:48,644
High-spirited and worthy
of Philip of Macedon.
176
00:17:48,815 --> 00:17:50,976
For three and a half talents...
177
00:17:51,150 --> 00:17:53,812
...I couldn't make a profit
on him, but for you...
178
00:17:53,986 --> 00:17:56,750
Why would I want such a beast?
I already have a wife.
179
00:17:58,891 --> 00:18:00,324
Do I seem so old?
180
00:18:06,666 --> 00:18:09,931
- Stay down, stay down.
- Hold him!
181
00:18:24,183 --> 00:18:28,483
A broken neck comes free. He's
too nervous for battle. Sell him for meat.
182
00:18:28,654 --> 00:18:32,055
Buy him for me, Father. I'll ride him.
183
00:18:36,662 --> 00:18:38,061
And if you don't?
184
00:18:38,231 --> 00:18:41,826
- I'll pay for him myself.
- With what, your singing voice?
185
00:18:42,001 --> 00:18:43,764
I'll pay you!
186
00:18:43,936 --> 00:18:47,372
I tell you, that horse can't be ridden,
lad. His mind is broken.
187
00:18:50,276 --> 00:18:53,268
He can be ridden. By me.
188
00:18:53,446 --> 00:18:56,210
If you can rule that horse,
I'll make him yours...
189
00:18:56,382 --> 00:18:58,350
...at half the price.
190
00:18:58,518 --> 00:19:00,782
That horse will kill him, Philip.
191
00:19:00,953 --> 00:19:03,080
- He'll break the boy in two.
- Will he?
192
00:19:03,256 --> 00:19:06,054
Perhaps she'll make
a musician out of him yet.
193
00:19:16,536 --> 00:19:19,699
The boy doesn't have the craft.
He could hurt himself.
194
00:19:19,872 --> 00:19:23,740
He'll have to figure that out
for himself. It's time.
195
00:19:30,049 --> 00:19:33,143
You don't like your shadow, do you?
196
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:37,255
It's like a dark spirit coming up to get you.
197
00:19:37,423 --> 00:19:41,325
Do you see? That's us.
198
00:19:42,261 --> 00:19:45,196
It's just a trick of Apollo's.
199
00:19:45,364 --> 00:19:49,824
He's the god of the sun.
200
00:19:53,139 --> 00:19:57,371
But I'll show you how to outwit him,
you and me together.
201
00:20:20,499 --> 00:20:22,364
Bucephalus.
202
00:20:22,535 --> 00:20:26,494
That's what I'll call you.
Strong and stubborn.
203
00:20:29,275 --> 00:20:32,369
Bucephalus and Alexander.
204
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:37,510
Come now, let's ride together.
205
00:21:10,316 --> 00:21:12,079
He's got some Titan in him yet.
206
00:21:12,251 --> 00:21:16,881
Attalus! Cleitus! For Zeus' sake,
he beat you, man!
207
00:21:21,927 --> 00:21:25,226
Now, Bucephalus, show them.
208
00:21:58,164 --> 00:21:59,495
My son.
209
00:21:59,665 --> 00:22:01,326
My son!
210
00:22:13,446 --> 00:22:15,573
You remember Achilles.
211
00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:18,273
- He's my favorite.
- Why?
212
00:22:18,951 --> 00:22:22,284
Because he loved Patroclus
and avenged his death.
213
00:22:22,455 --> 00:22:24,286
And his fate?
214
00:22:24,457 --> 00:22:27,688
That he must die young
but with great glory.
215
00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:29,521
Did he have a choice?
216
00:22:29,695 --> 00:22:34,132
Yes. He could live a long life,
but there would be no glory.
217
00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:38,498
You dream of glory, Alexander.
Your mother encourages you.
218
00:22:38,671 --> 00:22:42,971
There's no glory without suffering,
and this she will not allow.
219
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,381
One day, I'll be on walls like these.
220
00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:56,044
Prometheus stole the secret
of fire and gave it to man.
221
00:22:56,222 --> 00:22:59,020
It made Zeus so angry...
222
00:22:59,191 --> 00:23:02,251
...he chained Prometheus to a rock
in the Great Caucasus...
223
00:23:02,428 --> 00:23:06,762
...and each day, his eagle pecked out
the poor man's liver.
224
00:23:06,932 --> 00:23:11,460
Each night, it grew back again so that
it could be eaten the next day.
225
00:23:11,637 --> 00:23:12,899
Miserable fate.
226
00:23:17,643 --> 00:23:19,133
Why?
227
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:22,946
Who knows these things?
228
00:23:23,115 --> 00:23:25,140
Anyway...
229
00:23:28,554 --> 00:23:35,050
Oedipus tore out his eyes when he
found out he'd murdered his father...
230
00:23:35,928 --> 00:23:41,298
...and married his mother.
Knowledge that came too late.
231
00:23:41,467 --> 00:23:45,426
Medea, she slaughtered
her two children in vengeance...
232
00:23:45,604 --> 00:23:48,437
...when Jason left her for a younger wife.
233
00:23:58,517 --> 00:24:01,281
My mother would never hurt me.
234
00:24:02,188 --> 00:24:05,180
It's never easy to escape our mothers,
Alexander.
235
00:24:05,758 --> 00:24:12,254
All your life, beware of women.
They're far more dangerous than men.
236
00:24:16,702 --> 00:24:21,833
Herakles. Even after he accomplished
his 12 labors...
237
00:24:22,007 --> 00:24:26,706
...he was punished with madness,
slaughtered his three children.
238
00:24:28,013 --> 00:24:29,640
Poor Herakles.
239
00:24:30,616 --> 00:24:31,844
Great Herakles.
240
00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:36,518
All greatness comes from loss.
241
00:24:36,689 --> 00:24:42,889
Even you, the gods will
one day judge harshly.
242
00:24:43,062 --> 00:24:44,927
When I'm king like you, Father?
243
00:24:45,097 --> 00:24:48,897
Don't rush the day, boy. You risk all.
244
00:24:50,035 --> 00:24:54,096
My father threw me into battle
before I knew how to fight.
245
00:24:54,273 --> 00:24:56,833
When I killed my first man, he said:
246
00:24:57,009 --> 00:24:59,239
"Now you know."
247
00:24:59,879 --> 00:25:03,906
I hated him then,
but I understand why now.
248
00:25:04,083 --> 00:25:06,415
A king isn't born, Alexander.
249
00:25:06,585 --> 00:25:10,646
He's made by steel and by suffering.
250
00:25:11,624 --> 00:25:15,856
A king must know
how to hurt those he loves.
251
00:25:19,665 --> 00:25:22,065
It's lonely. Ask Herakles.
252
00:25:23,135 --> 00:25:26,764
Ask any of them. Fate is cruel.
253
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:33,472
No man or woman can be too powerful
or too beautiful without disaster befalling.
254
00:25:33,646 --> 00:25:40,142
They laugh when you rise too high and
crush everything you've built with a whim.
255
00:25:40,753 --> 00:25:44,780
What glory they give,
in the end, they take away.
256
00:25:45,824 --> 00:25:49,316
They make of us slaves.
257
00:26:15,187 --> 00:26:19,385
Pregnant so soon. The little whore.
258
00:26:19,792 --> 00:26:23,888
He will marry her in the spring,
during Dionysus' Festival...
259
00:26:24,063 --> 00:26:26,861
...and when her first son is born...
260
00:26:27,032 --> 00:26:32,368
...her sweet uncle Attalus will convince
Philip to name the boy his successor...
261
00:26:32,538 --> 00:26:35,006
...with himself as regent.
262
00:26:35,174 --> 00:26:37,165
And you...
263
00:26:37,343 --> 00:26:41,370
...you will be sent on
some impossible mission...
264
00:26:41,547 --> 00:26:44,107
...against some monstrous Northern tribe...
265
00:26:44,283 --> 00:26:49,744
...to be mutilated in one more
meaningless battle over cattle.
266
00:26:49,922 --> 00:26:53,790
And I, no longer queen,
will be put to death...
267
00:26:53,959 --> 00:26:58,020
...with your sister and the remaining
members of our family.
268
00:26:58,197 --> 00:27:02,930
I wish sometimes you could see
the light, Mother.
269
00:27:03,102 --> 00:27:07,869
The truth is, he's taken nothing from you
that you've not been long without.
270
00:27:09,408 --> 00:27:11,808
The only way is to strike.
271
00:27:11,977 --> 00:27:14,741
Announce your marriage
to a Macedonian now.
272
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,614
Beget a child of pure blood. He would
be one of them, not mine...
273
00:27:19,785 --> 00:27:23,186
...and he would have no choice
but to make you king.
274
00:27:23,355 --> 00:27:25,448
There is still Kynnane.
275
00:27:27,226 --> 00:27:31,128
Eurydice was perfect. If your father,
that pig, had not ravaged her first!
276
00:27:31,296 --> 00:27:34,129
Say nothing more of my father.
277
00:27:34,299 --> 00:27:37,234
Do you hear me? Say nothing.
278
00:27:38,137 --> 00:27:39,832
You're right.
279
00:27:40,806 --> 00:27:42,899
Forgive me.
280
00:27:43,075 --> 00:27:45,908
A mother loves too much.
281
00:27:52,117 --> 00:27:54,745
Who shall I sing to sleep
at night anymore?
282
00:27:59,892 --> 00:28:04,852
I wish... I wish we could spend
more time together.
283
00:28:05,597 --> 00:28:10,057
Like we used to, when you were
the sweetest boy.
284
00:28:15,407 --> 00:28:17,466
There's never been time, Mother.
285
00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:23,247
Since I was a child, I've been groomed
to be ever the best.
286
00:28:24,249 --> 00:28:28,709
My poor child, you're like Achilles...
287
00:28:28,887 --> 00:28:31,355
...cursed by your greatness.
288
00:28:35,994 --> 00:28:37,962
Take my strength.
289
00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:50,165
You must never confuse your feelings
with your duties, Alexander.
290
00:28:51,643 --> 00:28:56,205
A king must make public gestures
for the common people.
291
00:28:56,381 --> 00:28:59,817
I know, but you will be 19 this summer...
292
00:28:59,985 --> 00:29:04,684
...and the girls already say you don't
like them. You like Hephaistion more.
293
00:29:04,857 --> 00:29:08,293
I understand.
It's natural for a young man.
294
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:12,658
But if you go to Asia without leaving
your successor, you risk all.
295
00:29:12,831 --> 00:29:19,031
Hephaistion loves me,
as I am...
296
00:29:19,204 --> 00:29:20,569
...not who.
297
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,532
Loves? Loves?
298
00:29:27,546 --> 00:29:30,106
In the name of Dionysus...
299
00:29:31,450 --> 00:29:37,184
...understand how Philip thinks,
for your own sake.
300
00:29:37,356 --> 00:29:41,417
Your life hangs in the balance.
301
00:29:41,593 --> 00:29:46,530
- His spies are inside your closest circle.
- Stop!
302
00:29:48,801 --> 00:29:51,668
I'm his only worthy son.
303
00:29:51,837 --> 00:29:53,737
You crazed woman.
304
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,865
He'd never hurt me.
305
00:29:58,010 --> 00:30:02,743
Even if Eurydice had a boy,
he'd be 20 before he'd let him rule.
306
00:30:02,915 --> 00:30:06,316
Yes, and you would be 40.
307
00:30:06,485 --> 00:30:12,890
Old and wise like Parmenion.
And Philip's young son would be 20.
308
00:30:13,058 --> 00:30:19,429
Like you now,
but raised by him, his blood.
309
00:30:19,998 --> 00:30:23,058
He will never give you
the throne now, Alexander.
310
00:30:24,136 --> 00:30:25,694
Never.
311
00:30:42,888 --> 00:30:46,153
Come, Alexander,
drink this sadness away.
312
00:30:46,325 --> 00:30:48,725
If only thirst could quench sorrow,
Ptolemy.
313
00:30:51,897 --> 00:30:56,391
There's only one thing better
than winning a battle, son...
314
00:30:57,002 --> 00:30:59,835
...and that's the taste of a new woman.
315
00:31:00,005 --> 00:31:05,033
You'll find it far sweeter than self-pity.
316
00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:07,940
Pausanias, you bore me.
Be gone with you.
317
00:31:08,113 --> 00:31:10,240
Alexander, I found you the right girl.
318
00:31:10,415 --> 00:31:12,975
- What's your name, darling?
- Antigone.
319
00:31:13,151 --> 00:31:15,119
- What's your name?
- Antigone.
320
00:31:16,922 --> 00:31:19,220
I love you, my little imp.
321
00:31:20,292 --> 00:31:22,157
And I love you, Cleitus.
322
00:31:23,262 --> 00:31:24,854
- Please, no!
- There you go.
323
00:31:26,498 --> 00:31:28,796
Would you prefer a seat, Cleitus?
324
00:31:28,967 --> 00:31:30,867
I'll sleep in my grave, Hephaistion.
325
00:31:31,036 --> 00:31:34,403
While alive, I prefer dancing.
326
00:31:34,573 --> 00:31:36,097
Pausanias.
327
00:31:36,975 --> 00:31:38,602
Who's your new friend?
328
00:31:38,777 --> 00:31:41,439
- There's your new friend.
- Please don't!
329
00:31:43,682 --> 00:31:45,149
A toast.
330
00:31:45,317 --> 00:31:46,648
A toast!
331
00:31:47,386 --> 00:31:52,847
I drink to our Greek friends
and to our new union...
332
00:31:53,025 --> 00:31:58,930
...Macedonia and Greece,
equals in greatness!
333
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,896
And to Philip, our king, without whom
this union could not be possible.
334
00:32:08,073 --> 00:32:11,042
Come, Attalus, leave some
damn air in the hall!
335
00:32:12,544 --> 00:32:18,505
And last, I drink to the king's marriage
to my niece, Eurydice...
336
00:32:18,684 --> 00:32:21,710
...a Macedonian queen we can be proud of!
337
00:32:24,723 --> 00:32:28,022
To Philip and Eurydice...
338
00:32:28,193 --> 00:32:31,321
...and to their legitimate sons!
339
00:32:32,864 --> 00:32:34,695
Alexander, don't!
340
00:32:34,866 --> 00:32:37,835
What am I, you son of a dog?
Come, then.
341
00:32:49,881 --> 00:32:52,975
- Shut up.
- Shut up.
342
00:32:53,151 --> 00:32:55,085
Shut up, all of you!
343
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,080
This is my wedding,
not some public brawl.
344
00:32:58,256 --> 00:33:00,247
Insolent pup.
345
00:33:00,425 --> 00:33:03,656
Apologize, by Zeus,
before you dishonor me.
346
00:33:03,829 --> 00:33:07,230
You defend the man who called
my mother a whore and me a bastard.
347
00:33:07,399 --> 00:33:10,596
- And I dishonor you?
- You listen like your mother.
348
00:33:10,769 --> 00:33:12,964
Attalus is my family now,
the same as you.
349
00:33:13,138 --> 00:33:15,766
Then choose your relatives
more carefully.
350
00:33:15,941 --> 00:33:19,138
Don't expect me to sit here
and watch you shame yourself.
351
00:33:19,311 --> 00:33:22,303
- You insult me!
- I insult you!
352
00:33:22,481 --> 00:33:25,575
A man not fit to lick the ground
my mother walks on.
353
00:33:25,751 --> 00:33:28,652
- You dog, questioning your queen.
- Shame?
354
00:33:28,820 --> 00:33:32,654
I've nothing to be ashamed of,
you arrogant brat.
355
00:33:32,824 --> 00:33:36,658
I'll marry the girl if I want,
and I'll have as many sons as I want.
356
00:33:36,828 --> 00:33:39,353
There's nothing you
or your harpy mother can do.
357
00:33:39,531 --> 00:33:41,465
Why, drunken man, must you think...
358
00:33:41,633 --> 00:33:44,124
...everything I do and say
comes from my mother?
359
00:33:44,302 --> 00:33:47,237
Because I know her heart, by Hera...
360
00:33:47,406 --> 00:33:49,601
...and I see her in your eyes.
361
00:33:49,775 --> 00:33:52,209
You covet this throne too much.
362
00:33:53,612 --> 00:33:58,948
We all know that she-wolf
of a mother of yours wants me dead.
363
00:33:59,117 --> 00:34:01,415
Well, you can both dream, boy.
364
00:34:01,586 --> 00:34:04,714
Philip, this is the wine talking.
Leave the boy. It'll wait.
365
00:34:04,890 --> 00:34:06,448
Now!
366
00:34:07,626 --> 00:34:09,526
I command you.
367
00:34:10,529 --> 00:34:13,828
Apologize to your kinsman.
368
00:34:21,473 --> 00:34:23,202
Apologize.
369
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:25,935
No kinsman to me.
370
00:34:29,481 --> 00:34:31,449
Good night, old man.
371
00:34:32,918 --> 00:34:37,378
And when my mother remarries,
I'll invite you to her wedding.
372
00:34:37,956 --> 00:34:39,890
You bastard!
373
00:34:45,163 --> 00:34:47,358
You'll obey me. Come here.
374
00:35:06,751 --> 00:35:10,380
And this is the man who is going
to take you from Greece to Persia?
375
00:35:10,555 --> 00:35:13,080
He can't even make it
from one couch to the next.
376
00:35:13,258 --> 00:35:17,319
Get out of my palace!
You're exiled, you bastard!
377
00:35:17,963 --> 00:35:21,399
Banished from the land.
You're not welcome here.
378
00:35:22,334 --> 00:35:24,529
You're no son of mine!
379
00:35:31,209 --> 00:35:33,769
Everything suddenly changed for him.
380
00:35:36,314 --> 00:35:40,250
His father, King Philip, was murdered.
381
00:35:40,952 --> 00:35:43,512
And Alexander, at 20...
382
00:35:44,689 --> 00:35:48,682
...became the new ruler of Macedonia.
383
00:35:48,860 --> 00:35:54,127
And breaking their treaties with us,
dismissing Alexander as an untried boy...
384
00:35:54,299 --> 00:35:58,633
...several Greek city-states
rose up in revolt...
385
00:35:58,803 --> 00:36:04,366
...much to Persia's delight
and perhaps sponsored by their gold.
386
00:36:09,347 --> 00:36:11,815
Truly, Alexander could love like no other.
387
00:36:11,983 --> 00:36:16,716
But to betray him was to rouse
a vast and frightening anger.
388
00:36:16,888 --> 00:36:20,847
And he massacred several thousand
men of that tragic city, Thebes...
389
00:36:21,026 --> 00:36:24,359
...and sold the survivors into slavery.
390
00:36:24,996 --> 00:36:28,796
This, as intended,
stunned and defeated the Greeks.
391
00:36:28,967 --> 00:36:33,802
And though, in the end, he treated
most populations with magnanimity...
392
00:36:33,972 --> 00:36:35,906
...it is these exceptions...
393
00:36:36,074 --> 00:36:41,740
...Thebes, Gaza in Syria and, later,
Persepolis in Persia and others...
394
00:36:41,913 --> 00:36:47,408
...that are always remembered by those
who hate Alexander and all he stood for.
395
00:36:48,086 --> 00:36:54,514
At 21, Alexander invaded Asia
with an army of 40,000 trained men.
396
00:36:54,693 --> 00:36:58,094
And liberating one city-state
after the other...
397
00:36:58,263 --> 00:37:02,290
...he conquered all of western Asia
south to Egypt...
398
00:37:02,467 --> 00:37:08,406
...where he was declared Pharaoh
of Egypt, worshipped as a god.
399
00:37:09,941 --> 00:37:16,039
It was in Egypt that the
respected oracle at Siwah...
400
00:37:16,214 --> 00:37:18,842
...declared him the...
401
00:37:19,017 --> 00:37:22,453
...true son of Zeus.
402
00:37:24,522 --> 00:37:27,787
He finally provoked
Darius himself to battle...
403
00:37:27,959 --> 00:37:32,191
...in the heart of the Persian Empire,
near Babylon.
404
00:37:37,936 --> 00:37:39,494
It was mad.
405
00:37:39,671 --> 00:37:45,405
Forty thousand of us
against 250,000 barbarians.
406
00:37:46,478 --> 00:37:52,417
It was the day Alexander
had waited for all his life.
407
00:37:55,754 --> 00:37:59,485
Alexander, son of a god.
408
00:38:00,158 --> 00:38:02,183
It was a myth, of course.
409
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,261
At least it started as a myth.
410
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:07,557
I know.
411
00:38:07,732 --> 00:38:10,030
I was there.
412
00:38:10,201 --> 00:38:11,532
I saw his eyes.
413
00:38:11,703 --> 00:38:13,568
There.
414
00:38:13,738 --> 00:38:17,765
In the crack of the Persian line,
we'll go for the head.
415
00:38:18,543 --> 00:38:19,771
Kill Darius?
416
00:38:19,944 --> 00:38:23,107
The gods have brought him
to us at last.
417
00:38:24,082 --> 00:38:26,380
If I die, it's one Macedonian.
418
00:38:26,551 --> 00:38:30,282
But the Persians, they cannot move
without Darius' command.
419
00:38:30,455 --> 00:38:31,979
Here.
420
00:38:32,157 --> 00:38:34,819
Right here, we cut the throat
of the Persian Army.
421
00:38:34,993 --> 00:38:38,292
This is madness. You'll never get
within 100 paces of him.
422
00:38:38,463 --> 00:38:40,624
Have you seen the sheer size
of his force?
423
00:38:40,799 --> 00:38:45,099
Not if you hold them on the left,
my brave Parmenion...
424
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:49,730
...with your son Philotas,
for just one, two hours tomorrow.
425
00:38:51,042 --> 00:38:55,911
And you, unbreakable Antigonus,
the center phalanx.
426
00:38:56,081 --> 00:38:57,912
Perdiccas.
427
00:38:58,083 --> 00:39:00,210
Leonnatus.
428
00:39:00,385 --> 00:39:02,319
Nearchus.
429
00:39:02,787 --> 00:39:04,277
Polyperchon.
430
00:39:04,456 --> 00:39:08,586
If you pin them on the walls
of your sarissas here, in the center...
431
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,729
...their cavalry will follow me
out to the right.
432
00:39:11,896 --> 00:39:14,262
And when bold Cassander breaks...
433
00:39:14,432 --> 00:39:17,424
...stretching their left, a hole will open.
434
00:39:17,602 --> 00:39:19,194
Then I and my cavalry...
435
00:39:19,371 --> 00:39:25,241
...our revered Cleitus,
Ptolemy and Hephaistion...
436
00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:27,435
...will strike through that gap...
437
00:39:28,213 --> 00:39:30,909
...and deal the deathblow
to Darius' head.
438
00:39:31,082 --> 00:39:34,882
Alexander, even with luck, timing,
the gods, we must rout them tomorrow.
439
00:39:35,053 --> 00:39:36,782
Destroy their army completely.
440
00:39:36,955 --> 00:39:40,516
Or we'll be picked apart by bandit tribes
on the long journey home.
441
00:39:40,692 --> 00:39:42,819
Right.
442
00:39:42,994 --> 00:39:45,326
You speak of home.
443
00:39:45,497 --> 00:39:47,522
And retreat.
444
00:39:47,699 --> 00:39:51,430
But do you understand, Parmenion...
445
00:39:51,603 --> 00:39:54,197
...Babylon's my new home?
446
00:39:56,608 --> 00:39:58,269
Alexander...
447
00:39:58,443 --> 00:40:00,536
...if we must fight...
448
00:40:00,712 --> 00:40:02,145
...do so with stealth.
449
00:40:02,313 --> 00:40:07,307
Use your numbers well. We should attack
tonight when they least expect us.
450
00:40:08,953 --> 00:40:12,684
I didn't cross Asia
to steal this victory, Cassander.
451
00:40:12,857 --> 00:40:15,985
No, you are too honorable for that.
452
00:40:16,161 --> 00:40:21,394
No doubt influenced from sleeping
with Tales of Troy under your pillow.
453
00:40:21,566 --> 00:40:25,093
But your father
was no lover of Homer's.
454
00:40:25,970 --> 00:40:28,234
The lands west
of the Euphrates, Alexander...
455
00:40:28,406 --> 00:40:32,740
...the hand of his daughter in marriage.
When has a Greek been given such honors?
456
00:40:32,911 --> 00:40:36,847
These are not honors.
Parmenion, they're bribes...
457
00:40:37,015 --> 00:40:40,382
...which the Greeks
have accepted too long.
458
00:40:41,219 --> 00:40:44,780
Do you forget the man who murdered
my father lies across the valley?
459
00:40:44,956 --> 00:40:49,859
Alexander, we're still not sure if it was
Persian gold behind the assassination.
460
00:40:50,028 --> 00:40:54,089
- That is no matter!
- Parmenion, you know that's not true.
461
00:40:54,966 --> 00:40:58,925
Your father taught you never to surrender
your reason to your passion.
462
00:40:59,103 --> 00:41:02,004
Now I urge you, regroup.
463
00:41:02,173 --> 00:41:05,301
Fall back to the coast,
raise a larger force.
464
00:41:05,477 --> 00:41:09,777
I would, if I were Parmenion.
465
00:41:10,315 --> 00:41:12,442
But I am Alexander.
466
00:41:12,617 --> 00:41:16,610
And no more than Earth has two suns
will Asia bear two kings.
467
00:41:17,222 --> 00:41:18,780
These are my terms.
468
00:41:18,957 --> 00:41:23,553
And if Darius isn't a coward
who hides behind his men...
469
00:41:24,295 --> 00:41:27,025
...then he'll come to me tomorrow.
470
00:41:27,999 --> 00:41:32,868
And when he bows down to Greece...
471
00:41:33,037 --> 00:41:35,801
...Alexander will be merciful.
472
00:41:40,445 --> 00:41:44,211
By Ares' chains, he's got balls, men.
473
00:41:44,382 --> 00:41:47,215
I mean, give the man his due,
Parmenion.
474
00:41:48,786 --> 00:41:53,052
And, lads, feast tonight,
for tomorrow we will dine in Hades.
475
00:42:04,818 --> 00:42:07,548
To whom do you pray?
476
00:42:11,057 --> 00:42:13,082
Phobos.
477
00:42:14,861 --> 00:42:16,954
Fear?
478
00:42:19,833 --> 00:42:21,801
A bad omen.
479
00:42:23,737 --> 00:42:26,228
More so for Darius.
480
00:42:31,745 --> 00:42:37,411
I've come to believe that fear
of death drives all men, Hephaistion.
481
00:42:37,584 --> 00:42:40,610
This we didn't learn as schoolboys.
482
00:42:40,787 --> 00:42:44,780
It is the cause of all our misfortunes.
483
00:42:44,958 --> 00:42:48,485
- So, mighty Crateros.
- Your Majesty.
484
00:42:50,196 --> 00:42:53,632
- Are you ready for tomorrow's dawn?
- It's been too long coming.
485
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,827
- The men are skittish as colts.
- Good.
486
00:42:58,004 --> 00:43:00,336
Fear makes men fight better.
487
00:43:01,041 --> 00:43:03,509
Post your sentries alertly
but rest them well.
488
00:43:03,676 --> 00:43:07,942
Don't worry, general. I'm known to sleep
with my eyes open as a baby's arse.
489
00:43:08,114 --> 00:43:11,845
Only because someone
might steal his loot, sire.
490
00:43:12,819 --> 00:43:15,913
After tomorrow, even the thrifty
among you shall be kings.
491
00:43:16,089 --> 00:43:21,049
The gods are with us, Your Majesty.
You'll stain the ground with Persian blood.
492
00:43:21,594 --> 00:43:24,324
I've always believed, Alexander.
493
00:43:24,497 --> 00:43:28,490
But this seems so much bigger than us.
494
00:43:28,668 --> 00:43:33,128
Did Patroclus doubt Achilles when
they stood side by side at the siege of Troy?
495
00:43:33,306 --> 00:43:36,275
Patroclus died first.
496
00:43:36,443 --> 00:43:38,104
If you do...
497
00:43:39,012 --> 00:43:43,449
If you were to fall, Hephaistion,
even if Macedonia were to lose a king...
498
00:43:43,616 --> 00:43:46,312
...I will avenge you...
499
00:43:46,486 --> 00:43:49,250
...and follow you down
to the house of death.
500
00:43:49,422 --> 00:43:51,982
I would do the same.
501
00:44:01,501 --> 00:44:06,200
On the eve of battle,
it's hardest to be alone.
502
00:44:10,376 --> 00:44:12,469
Then perhaps...
503
00:44:14,047 --> 00:44:17,414
Perhaps this is farewell...
504
00:44:18,017 --> 00:44:20,349
...my Alexander.
505
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,250
Fear not, Hephaistion.
506
00:44:24,390 --> 00:44:26,881
We are at the beginning.
507
00:45:00,693 --> 00:45:04,823
Blood makes the world rise.
508
00:45:05,932 --> 00:45:09,424
Blood makes the rain fall.
509
00:45:12,272 --> 00:45:16,140
Blood makes the earth grow.
510
00:45:17,110 --> 00:45:23,606
And in blood, all men are born and die.
511
00:45:25,351 --> 00:45:31,085
Blood is the food of the gods below.
512
00:45:45,138 --> 00:45:48,801
Come, Bucephalus.
Today we ride to our destiny.
513
00:45:51,611 --> 00:45:55,604
Company, group! Regroup!
514
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,986
Phalanx, turn right!
515
00:46:27,046 --> 00:46:31,745
Phalanx, attention!
516
00:46:53,139 --> 00:46:55,801
Neoptolemus.
517
00:46:55,975 --> 00:46:59,035
I remember you the day
you took the siege tower at Tire.
518
00:46:59,212 --> 00:47:02,511
You were a giant.
And today, how will you fight?
519
00:47:07,887 --> 00:47:10,617
Dexippos, by Athena.
520
00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:14,954
How far was it you threw your man
wrestling at the last Olympic Games?
521
00:47:15,128 --> 00:47:17,756
Will you match it with your spear?
522
00:47:22,268 --> 00:47:27,638
And Timander, son of Menander,
a great soldier to my father.
523
00:47:27,807 --> 00:47:32,540
I still mourn your brother, Addaios,
who died so bravely at Halicarnassus.
524
00:47:32,712 --> 00:47:36,307
What an honored family
you descend from, Timander.
525
00:47:36,482 --> 00:47:39,417
You fight for them today.
526
00:47:40,853 --> 00:47:46,917
You've all honored
your country and your ancestors.
527
00:47:47,093 --> 00:47:51,826
And now we come to this
most distant place in Asia...
528
00:47:52,165 --> 00:47:58,627
...where across from us, Darius
has at last gathered a vast army...
529
00:48:27,667 --> 00:48:32,934
But ask yourselves, who is this great king
who pays assassins in gold coins...
530
00:48:33,106 --> 00:48:35,631
...to murder my father, our king...
531
00:48:35,808 --> 00:48:40,643
...in a most despicable
and cowardly manner?
532
00:48:40,813 --> 00:48:46,080
Who is this great king, Darius,
who enslaves his own men to fight?
533
00:48:46,252 --> 00:48:50,712
Who is this king but a king of air?
534
00:48:50,890 --> 00:48:54,121
These men do not fight for their homes.
535
00:48:54,293 --> 00:48:57,785
They fight because
this king tells them they must.
536
00:48:58,398 --> 00:49:01,925
And when they fight,
they will melt away like the air...
537
00:49:02,101 --> 00:49:05,161
...because they know no loyalty
to a king of slaves.
538
00:49:06,272 --> 00:49:09,571
But we are not here today as slaves.
539
00:49:09,742 --> 00:49:11,869
We are here today...
540
00:49:12,044 --> 00:49:15,810
...as Macedonian freemen!
541
00:49:30,363 --> 00:49:32,194
Some of you...
542
00:49:33,866 --> 00:49:36,266
...perhaps myself...
543
00:49:36,436 --> 00:49:41,271
...will not live to see the sun set
over these mountains today.
544
00:49:42,208 --> 00:49:44,301
But I say to you...
545
00:49:44,477 --> 00:49:48,379
...what every warrior has known
since the beginning of time.
546
00:49:48,548 --> 00:49:50,948
Conquer your fear...
547
00:49:51,117 --> 00:49:54,575
...and I promise you,
you will conquer death.
548
00:50:17,610 --> 00:50:21,341
When they ask why you fought
so bravely, you will answer:
549
00:50:21,514 --> 00:50:24,415
"I was here this day at Gaugamela...
550
00:50:26,552 --> 00:50:28,952
...for the freedom...
551
00:50:30,089 --> 00:50:33,183
...and glory...
552
00:50:35,228 --> 00:50:37,594
...of Greece!"
553
00:50:44,136 --> 00:50:46,798
Zeus be with us!
554
00:51:13,766 --> 00:51:17,361
Cassander! Four columns, go!
555
00:51:22,775 --> 00:51:24,766
Where does he go?
556
00:51:24,944 --> 00:51:27,276
I don't know, Majesty.
557
00:51:27,446 --> 00:51:30,347
Envelop him, Bessus.
558
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:37,114
Hephaistion, go!
559
00:51:46,699 --> 00:51:48,360
Phalanx!
560
00:52:06,819 --> 00:52:10,152
He makes a mistake, Pharnakes.
561
00:52:13,292 --> 00:52:14,850
Yes, great king.
562
00:53:16,989 --> 00:53:19,549
Be brave, men.
563
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,552
Steady on the left, lads!
564
00:53:23,062 --> 00:53:25,428
Bend if you must, but never break.
565
00:53:26,766 --> 00:53:28,825
And keep watching the cavalry on the left.
566
00:53:58,864 --> 00:54:00,991
Pick up the pace!
567
00:54:10,810 --> 00:54:14,507
Prepare to repel chariots!
568
00:55:39,832 --> 00:55:41,891
Cassander!
569
00:55:42,067 --> 00:55:44,399
Forward, men!
570
00:55:55,147 --> 00:55:59,447
- Left turn!
- Infantry, clear! Out now!
571
00:56:47,700 --> 00:56:49,395
Hold your positions!
572
00:56:49,568 --> 00:56:52,366
Hold your positions!
573
00:57:09,855 --> 00:57:11,948
We must fall back to the gully, Father.
574
00:57:12,124 --> 00:57:13,614
No, hold.
575
00:57:13,792 --> 00:57:17,694
Where is he? We're far too thin!
Get word to Alexander!
576
00:57:17,863 --> 00:57:20,263
- Move!
- Yes, sir.
577
00:57:38,817 --> 00:57:42,344
Come, Macedonians! Ride! Ride!
578
00:57:47,192 --> 00:57:51,492
- Shields, break off!
- Break off.
579
00:57:51,664 --> 00:57:53,996
The shields are here!
580
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:57,500
Drive for the hole!
581
00:57:58,003 --> 00:58:01,063
- Drive for the hole!
- Drive for the hole!
582
00:58:44,216 --> 00:58:47,583
Back and to the left!
Back and to the left!
583
00:58:49,621 --> 00:58:52,613
- Philotas! Philotas!
- Father.
584
00:58:52,791 --> 00:58:54,850
Go. Tell Alexander yourself.
585
00:58:55,027 --> 00:59:00,966
And if he won't listen, then survive me
and avenge this betrayal!
586
00:59:17,649 --> 00:59:22,245
Pay attention, lad!
Your father still watches over you!
587
01:00:03,929 --> 01:00:06,557
Darius!
588
01:00:06,732 --> 01:00:08,791
Find your horses.
589
01:00:24,583 --> 01:00:27,017
Darius!
590
01:00:47,773 --> 01:00:50,674
Go! Go!
591
01:01:06,024 --> 01:01:10,552
We can reach those mountains by sunset,
go all night and catch Darius at dawn.
592
01:01:10,729 --> 01:01:13,755
Provision the horses.
593
01:01:13,932 --> 01:01:17,891
Alexander!
Alexander, my father's lost.
594
01:01:18,070 --> 01:01:21,096
They've overrun the flank.
They're into the baggage train.
595
01:01:21,273 --> 01:01:23,400
Parmenion's crumbling.
596
01:01:23,575 --> 01:01:28,035
Alexander, if you chase him,
you risk losing your army here.
597
01:01:28,213 --> 01:01:31,671
And if we capture him,
we gain an empire.
598
01:01:40,626 --> 01:01:43,288
You can run to the ends of the earth,
you coward...
599
01:01:43,462 --> 01:01:46,454
...but you'll never run far enough!
600
01:01:46,632 --> 01:01:49,328
To Parmenion!
601
01:02:09,755 --> 01:02:11,313
You bleed free, my lord.
602
01:02:11,490 --> 01:02:14,857
- May I tend to your wound?
- No, Hermolaus, not now.
603
01:02:15,027 --> 01:02:17,257
There's far worse than me. Go to them.
604
01:02:17,429 --> 01:02:19,226
Help them.
605
01:02:46,825 --> 01:02:50,090
- Your Majesty.
- You're very brave.
606
01:02:51,096 --> 01:02:52,893
What shall I call you?
607
01:02:53,065 --> 01:02:55,932
- Glaukos, my king.
- Glaukos.
608
01:02:56,969 --> 01:03:00,871
- And where's your home?
- Illyria.
609
01:03:01,974 --> 01:03:04,602
Let your body go loose.
610
01:03:05,877 --> 01:03:08,072
Think of home now.
611
01:03:08,247 --> 01:03:10,715
Be brave again, Glaukos...
612
01:03:12,150 --> 01:03:14,675
...and you will live on in glory.
613
01:03:14,853 --> 01:03:17,686
Alexander.
614
01:03:27,432 --> 01:03:31,698
The Persian Empire,
the greatest the world had yet known...
615
01:03:31,870 --> 01:03:34,065
...was destroyed.
616
01:03:41,513 --> 01:03:47,452
And Alexander, at 25,
was now king of all.
617
01:03:59,264 --> 01:04:01,459
Alexander once said to me:
618
01:04:01,633 --> 01:04:06,468
"We are most alone
when we are with the myths."
619
01:04:07,339 --> 01:04:09,102
Phalanx!
620
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,548
And thus, it came to pass in a dream...
621
01:04:17,716 --> 01:04:21,675
...as mythical to all Greeks
as Achilles defeating the Trojans.
622
01:04:21,853 --> 01:04:25,050
At this one glorious moment in time...
623
01:04:25,223 --> 01:04:29,421
...Alexander was loved by all.
624
01:04:31,830 --> 01:04:36,392
But in the end, I believe Babylon
was a far easier mistress to enter...
625
01:04:36,568 --> 01:04:39,366
...than she was to leave.
626
01:05:29,488 --> 01:05:33,982
Sikander! Sikander!
627
01:06:01,319 --> 01:06:06,222
Imagine the minds that conceived this.
With architects and engineers like these...
628
01:06:06,391 --> 01:06:08,825
...we could build cities
as we've only dreamed.
629
01:06:08,994 --> 01:06:13,795
Aristotle may have called them barbarians,
but he never saw Babylon.
630
01:06:13,965 --> 01:06:19,597
We have enough gold here to support
three generations of Macedonian armies.
631
01:06:19,771 --> 01:06:22,365
And Macedonia would soon corrupt,
Cassander.
632
01:06:22,841 --> 01:06:26,174
Wealth in great quantities brings the crows.
633
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,013
Not for the men who fought, I trust.
634
01:06:32,184 --> 01:06:36,348
We'll pay them well, Antigonus,
but not as mercenaries for future services.
635
01:06:36,521 --> 01:06:38,182
Now you sound like Philip.
636
01:06:39,224 --> 01:06:41,021
Philip never saw Babylon.
637
01:06:41,693 --> 01:06:43,684
No, he didn't, Hephaistion.
638
01:06:45,363 --> 01:06:47,524
- Hello!
- Hello!
639
01:06:47,833 --> 01:06:51,234
Alexander, I know you think me
a stiff old sod...
640
01:06:51,403 --> 01:06:53,928
...but whatever our differences,
know this day...
641
01:06:54,105 --> 01:06:57,632
...your father would be very proud of you.
642
01:06:59,544 --> 01:07:01,136
Thank you, Parmenion.
643
01:07:01,913 --> 01:07:06,475
I ask you to forgive me
my own anger, my pride.
644
01:07:06,651 --> 01:07:08,846
They, too, blind me.
645
01:07:13,592 --> 01:07:17,255
Yes, the grandsons of goat herders...
646
01:07:17,429 --> 01:07:20,421
...we now rule 2 million square miles.
647
01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:24,057
Not if you keep giving it all away.
648
01:07:24,836 --> 01:07:30,274
None of you fear that this great fortune
may drive us all to destruction.
649
01:07:30,675 --> 01:07:32,472
You overvalue us.
650
01:07:32,644 --> 01:07:36,307
For as long as Darius breathes,
he is the legitimate king of Asia...
651
01:07:36,481 --> 01:07:38,813
...and I but the king of air.
652
01:07:38,984 --> 01:07:44,047
But he has no power, Alexander.
He's lost in the mountains with no army.
653
01:07:44,222 --> 01:07:47,623
As long as he's lost, Philotas,
he can be believed in.
654
01:07:47,792 --> 01:07:51,125
Only when he's found will it be decided.
655
01:07:52,797 --> 01:07:54,958
It seems you've already
made up your mind.
656
01:07:55,133 --> 01:07:58,068
We must finish what we failed
to do at Gaugamela.
657
01:07:58,236 --> 01:08:00,067
We must hunt Darius down to.
658
01:08:00,238 --> 01:08:03,696
- That was not your father's mission.
- And I am not my father.
659
01:08:06,344 --> 01:08:08,904
Come on. Have you so quickly forgotten?
660
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:10,741
Fortune favors the bold.
661
01:08:14,686 --> 01:08:16,119
By the gods, what is this?
662
01:08:16,288 --> 01:08:19,280
No wonder Darius fled
when he had this to come back to.
663
01:08:19,457 --> 01:08:23,052
I venture one for every night of the year.
664
01:08:49,054 --> 01:08:51,284
Help me, Aphrodite.
665
01:08:51,456 --> 01:08:53,822
How will I go back to Lysimache
after this?
666
01:08:53,992 --> 01:08:58,929
I advise you not to touch, Leonnatus.
Here, I'll take care of it for you.
667
01:08:59,097 --> 01:09:00,792
Apologies.
668
01:09:40,839 --> 01:09:43,069
Aristotle was perhaps prescient.
669
01:09:44,509 --> 01:09:48,946
Do these images fool us with their beauty
and degrade our souls?
670
01:10:06,031 --> 01:10:09,558
Great King Alexander.
671
01:10:12,270 --> 01:10:14,465
The princess of the thousand roses...
672
01:10:14,639 --> 01:10:17,870
...and eldest daughter of the formerly
Great King Darius...
673
01:10:19,044 --> 01:10:21,103
...Stateira.
674
01:10:21,780 --> 01:10:23,441
Noble Alexander...
675
01:10:30,522 --> 01:10:33,582
...I come to beg for the lives...
676
01:10:34,025 --> 01:10:35,617
...of my sisters...
677
01:10:36,661 --> 01:10:39,562
...my mother, my grandmother.
678
01:10:44,169 --> 01:10:48,265
You are not wrong, Princess Stateira.
679
01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:50,567
He, too, is Alexander.
680
01:10:54,379 --> 01:10:55,607
Please.
681
01:10:56,648 --> 01:11:00,243
I plead for my family's lives.
682
01:11:01,586 --> 01:11:04,680
- Sell me as a slave, great king, but...
- Look now...
683
01:11:04,856 --> 01:11:06,983
...in my eyes...
684
01:11:08,193 --> 01:11:09,421
...princess...
685
01:11:11,463 --> 01:11:13,055
...and tell me...
686
01:11:13,231 --> 01:11:15,791
...how would you like to be treated?
687
01:11:18,236 --> 01:11:20,363
As I am...
688
01:11:20,538 --> 01:11:22,597
...a princess.
689
01:11:25,810 --> 01:11:27,607
Then so be it.
690
01:11:29,347 --> 01:11:32,373
You and your family shall
be treated as my family.
691
01:11:35,053 --> 01:11:38,216
You shall live in this palace
as long as you choose.
692
01:11:38,623 --> 01:11:42,286
Have you any other requests for me,
my noble princess?
693
01:11:44,829 --> 01:11:46,421
No.
694
01:11:47,398 --> 01:11:50,492
Everything I wish...
695
01:11:50,668 --> 01:11:52,431
...I have...
696
01:11:54,405 --> 01:11:55,736
Requested.
697
01:11:55,907 --> 01:11:58,000
Requested.
698
01:12:00,278 --> 01:12:02,143
You truly are...
699
01:12:02,313 --> 01:12:03,610
...a queen.
700
01:12:10,555 --> 01:12:13,319
Yes, she would be
a perfect match for you...
701
01:12:13,992 --> 01:12:15,857
...but you do nothing.
702
01:12:16,027 --> 01:12:19,622
Three months you've been in Babylon
and leave me in Pella...
703
01:12:19,798 --> 01:12:23,632
...at the mercy of your enemies,
of which you have many.
704
01:12:23,802 --> 01:12:27,533
Antipater, accustomed now to the power
that you have given him.
705
01:12:27,705 --> 01:12:30,230
I must watch him grow stronger.
706
01:12:35,613 --> 01:12:40,573
I'm certain that he communicates secretly
with Parmenion, who is dangerous.
707
01:12:40,752 --> 01:12:43,778
But beware, most of all,
of those closest to you.
708
01:12:44,222 --> 01:12:45,450
They are like snakes...
709
01:12:46,524 --> 01:12:47,923
...and can be turned.
710
01:12:48,092 --> 01:12:49,719
General Crateros.
711
01:12:52,664 --> 01:12:56,293
Cassander is Antipater's son.
712
01:12:56,467 --> 01:13:00,062
Even Cleitus, your father's favorite...
713
01:13:00,238 --> 01:13:03,264
...and Ptolemy, your friend, yes.
714
01:13:03,441 --> 01:13:05,671
But beware of men who think too much.
715
01:13:06,044 --> 01:13:08,512
They blind themselves.
716
01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:13,943
Only Hephaistion do I leave out.
717
01:13:15,053 --> 01:13:17,681
But all of them you make rich...
718
01:13:17,856 --> 01:13:23,658
...while your mother and yourself,
you leave in generous poverty.
719
01:13:24,462 --> 01:13:27,920
Why won't you ever believe me?
720
01:13:28,099 --> 01:13:33,765
It is only a dark mind like mine
that can know these secrets of the heart.
721
01:13:33,938 --> 01:13:36,498
For they are dark, Alexander.
722
01:13:36,674 --> 01:13:39,074
So dark.
723
01:13:39,244 --> 01:13:40,711
But in you...
724
01:13:40,879 --> 01:13:45,748
...the son of Zeus,
lies the light of the world.
725
01:13:45,917 --> 01:13:49,944
Your companions will be shadows
in the underworld...
726
01:13:50,121 --> 01:13:54,490
...when you are a name living forever
in history as the most glorious...
727
01:13:54,659 --> 01:13:59,062
...shining light of youth, forever young,
forever inspiring.
728
01:13:59,230 --> 01:14:02,757
Never will there be an Alexander like you.
729
01:14:02,934 --> 01:14:05,869
Alexander the Great.
730
01:14:06,704 --> 01:14:10,231
Remember, bring me to Babylon
as you promised.
731
01:14:10,408 --> 01:14:13,605
I can only help you, for they know
if they harm you...
732
01:14:13,778 --> 01:14:18,044
...they will face my wrath,
as Queen of Babylon.
733
01:14:19,584 --> 01:14:23,179
It's a high ransom she charges
for nine months' lodging in the womb.
734
01:14:23,354 --> 01:14:25,345
Bring her, Alexander.
735
01:14:25,523 --> 01:14:28,651
- It'll give her such joy.
- Joy?
736
01:14:29,427 --> 01:14:32,692
When I'm the cracked mirror
of her dreams?
737
01:14:35,366 --> 01:14:38,028
Stay with me tonight, Hephaistion.
738
01:14:44,375 --> 01:14:46,366
I'll take my own bath.
739
01:14:47,345 --> 01:14:48,937
Thank you, Bagoas.
740
01:15:05,630 --> 01:15:09,657
The generals question your obsession
with Darius.
741
01:15:09,834 --> 01:15:12,997
They say it was never meant
for you to be king of Asia.
742
01:15:13,171 --> 01:15:14,695
Naturally.
743
01:15:14,872 --> 01:15:19,206
They want only to return to their homes,
rich with gold. But I've seen the future.
744
01:15:19,377 --> 01:15:22,676
I've seen it now 1000 times,
on 1000 faces.
745
01:15:22,847 --> 01:15:24,974
These people want...
746
01:15:25,750 --> 01:15:28,082
Need change.
747
01:15:28,886 --> 01:15:31,548
Aristotle was wrong about them.
748
01:15:31,723 --> 01:15:33,623
How so?
749
01:15:33,791 --> 01:15:35,691
Look at those we've conquered.
750
01:15:35,860 --> 01:15:37,885
They leave their dead unburied.
751
01:15:38,062 --> 01:15:41,031
They smash their enemies' skulls
and drink them as dust.
752
01:15:41,199 --> 01:15:43,190
They mate in public.
753
01:15:43,368 --> 01:15:48,237
What can they think or sing or write
when none can read?
754
01:15:48,406 --> 01:15:53,036
But as Alexander's army, they can go
where they never thought possible.
755
01:15:53,211 --> 01:15:56,271
They can soldier or work in the cities.
756
01:15:56,447 --> 01:16:00,645
The Alexandrias,
from Egypt to the outer ocean.
757
01:16:01,152 --> 01:16:04,087
We could connect these lands,
Hephaistion...
758
01:16:04,255 --> 01:16:05,483
...and the people.
759
01:16:05,656 --> 01:16:11,288
Some say these Alexandrias have become
extensions of Alexander himself.
760
01:16:11,996 --> 01:16:15,124
They draw people into the cities
to make slaves of them.
761
01:16:15,299 --> 01:16:20,566
But we freed them, Hephaistion, from
the Persia where everyone lived as slaves.
762
01:16:21,606 --> 01:16:24,837
To free the people of the world...
763
01:16:25,009 --> 01:16:29,605
...such would be beyond the glory
of Achilles, beyond Herakles...
764
01:16:29,781 --> 01:16:32,409
...a feat to rival Prometheus...
765
01:16:33,217 --> 01:16:35,879
...who was always a friend to man.
766
01:16:36,054 --> 01:16:38,420
Remember the fates of these heroes.
767
01:16:38,589 --> 01:16:42,787
- They suffered greatly.
- We all suffer.
768
01:16:43,227 --> 01:16:46,788
Your father, mine.
769
01:16:47,598 --> 01:16:49,657
They all came to the end of their time.
770
01:16:49,834 --> 01:16:53,895
And in the end, when it's over,
all that matters is what you've done.
771
01:16:55,206 --> 01:17:00,007
You once said,
"The fear of death drives all men."
772
01:17:00,344 --> 01:17:02,369
Are there no other forces?
773
01:17:03,414 --> 01:17:06,383
Is there not love in your life...
774
01:17:07,718 --> 01:17:09,709
...Alexander?
775
01:17:16,594 --> 01:17:21,861
I wonder sometimes if it's not
your mother you run from.
776
01:17:23,034 --> 01:17:27,232
So many years,
so many miles between you.
777
01:17:28,606 --> 01:17:30,597
What is it you fear?
778
01:17:32,110 --> 01:17:34,374
Who knows these things?
779
01:17:35,980 --> 01:17:41,077
When I was a child, my mother thought
me divine. My father, weak.
780
01:17:43,654 --> 01:17:46,316
Which am I, Hephaistion?
781
01:17:46,491 --> 01:17:48,618
Weak or divine?
782
01:17:51,362 --> 01:17:53,296
All I know is...
783
01:17:53,464 --> 01:17:56,524
...I trust only you in this world.
784
01:17:56,701 --> 01:17:58,794
I've missed you.
785
01:17:59,470 --> 01:18:00,801
I need you.
786
01:18:02,673 --> 01:18:04,538
It is you I love, Hephaistion.
787
01:18:06,744 --> 01:18:08,905
No other.
788
01:18:13,651 --> 01:18:16,779
You still hold your head cocked.
789
01:18:18,022 --> 01:18:19,751
- Like that.
- I've stopped that.
790
01:18:19,924 --> 01:18:21,824
Like a deer, listening in the wind.
791
01:18:21,993 --> 01:18:24,860
You strike me still, Alexander.
792
01:18:26,364 --> 01:18:28,924
And you have eyes like no other.
793
01:18:30,368 --> 01:18:34,532
I sound as stupid as a schoolboy, but...
794
01:18:37,275 --> 01:18:40,176
...you're everything I care for...
795
01:18:40,344 --> 01:18:44,007
...and by the sweet breath of Aphrodite...
796
01:18:44,515 --> 01:18:47,678
...I'm so jealous of losing you
to this world you want.
797
01:18:47,852 --> 01:18:50,480
You'll never lose me, Hephaistion.
798
01:18:51,122 --> 01:18:54,387
I'll be with you always.
799
01:18:54,992 --> 01:18:56,926
Till the end.
800
01:19:10,308 --> 01:19:12,970
The campaign in the northeast of Persia...
801
01:19:13,144 --> 01:19:18,377
...turned into a hard guerrilla war
of almost three years.
802
01:19:20,885 --> 01:19:26,915
We chased Darius towards Bactria
but missed taking him by hours.
803
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,126
He was dying when we found him, sire.
804
01:19:32,296 --> 01:19:34,196
He asked for water.
805
01:19:34,365 --> 01:19:36,731
He drank and died.
806
01:19:43,407 --> 01:19:48,106
The Great King Darius had been betrayed
by his own commanders.
807
01:20:16,173 --> 01:20:18,164
Fully honoring his corpse...
808
01:20:18,342 --> 01:20:23,678
...Alexander hunted down
these commanders into unknown lands...
809
01:20:24,215 --> 01:20:29,050
...crossing even beyond
the River Oxus into Sogdia.
810
01:20:33,257 --> 01:20:37,591
We fought them as far as
the unknown steppes of Scythia...
811
01:20:38,329 --> 01:20:41,594
...where only legendary heroes
had once trod.
812
01:20:41,766 --> 01:20:47,204
The surveyors told us we were now on
the borders of where Europe and Asia meet.
813
01:20:47,371 --> 01:20:51,034
In fact, we were totally lost.
814
01:20:52,076 --> 01:20:55,102
Here, Alexander founded
his 10th Alexandria...
815
01:20:55,279 --> 01:21:00,649
...and settled it with veterans, their women
and any who would dare the frontier life.
816
01:21:01,652 --> 01:21:04,712
Unable to accept defeat in any form...
817
01:21:04,889 --> 01:21:09,292
...Alexander persisted in breaking
every tribe that resisted...
818
01:21:09,460 --> 01:21:13,396
...until the day he received the head
of his last enemy in surrender.
819
01:21:18,135 --> 01:21:22,765
For Alexander, there could be
no pretender to the throne of Asia...
820
01:21:23,941 --> 01:21:28,344
...which now included all
of Sogdia and Bactria.
821
01:21:30,381 --> 01:21:36,377
It was here that Alexander made
one of his most mysterious decisions.
822
01:23:11,486 --> 01:23:16,389
Her eyes tell me
she cares for you, Alexander.
823
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:19,392
Perhaps too much.
824
01:23:21,763 --> 01:23:24,254
In the ways of my country...
825
01:23:24,433 --> 01:23:29,132
...those who love too much
lose everything...
826
01:23:29,304 --> 01:23:32,398
...and those who love with irony...
827
01:23:33,742 --> 01:23:35,175
...last.
828
01:23:47,623 --> 01:23:52,185
Your father must be turning in his grave.
After all this, a hill chief's daughter.
829
01:23:52,361 --> 01:23:54,659
By Athena's justice, this girl has spirit.
830
01:23:55,130 --> 01:23:58,566
But what's the point, Alexander?
Just take her as your concubine.
831
01:23:58,734 --> 01:24:01,567
Because I want a son.
Damn you, Philotas.
832
01:24:01,737 --> 01:24:06,401
Then half your nobles have sisters
who'd make fine Macedonian mothers.
833
01:24:06,575 --> 01:24:10,568
To take an Asian as my queen,
not a captive, is a sign of deep respect.
834
01:24:10,746 --> 01:24:12,907
It will bring us together, unify us.
835
01:24:13,081 --> 01:24:15,549
Which is not to say I won't take
a Macedonian.
836
01:24:15,717 --> 01:24:20,245
- As a second wife? You insult Macedonia.
- Alexander!
837
01:24:20,722 --> 01:24:23,384
This is about the honor of our kingdom.
838
01:24:23,558 --> 01:24:25,822
Exactly. What can be won, Alexander?
839
01:24:25,994 --> 01:24:29,521
We're in Asia to punish them
for their crimes. We've achieved that.
840
01:24:29,698 --> 01:24:33,293
Seven years from home, now we drift
from one far region to another...
841
01:24:33,468 --> 01:24:37,370
...chasing nomads and bandits
when Macedonia bleeds its manpower.
842
01:24:37,539 --> 01:24:39,598
For what? To build roads in Asia?
843
01:24:39,775 --> 01:24:41,936
To give these people cities?
844
01:24:42,110 --> 01:24:45,511
To found cities and expand
our reach is not to drift.
845
01:24:45,681 --> 01:24:48,081
- What benefit to Macedon?
- It's far richer!
846
01:24:48,250 --> 01:24:50,480
- Look what you give them.
- With respect...
847
01:24:50,652 --> 01:24:54,486
...had you fought better at Gaugamela
when your flank was crumbling...
848
01:24:54,656 --> 01:24:57,989
- How dare you, Nearchus?!
- General Nearchus to you, boy.
849
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,652
Alexander spread our flank too thin!
There was nothing my father...
850
01:25:01,830 --> 01:25:04,162
...or any of you could've done!
- Philotas!
851
01:25:10,105 --> 01:25:12,733
Alexander, I've known you
since you were born.
852
01:25:13,408 --> 01:25:16,400
I supported you at your father's death.
853
01:25:16,578 --> 01:25:19,479
At the very least, for Zeus' sake...
854
01:25:19,648 --> 01:25:22,617
...and in respect to the council
that chose you king...
855
01:25:22,784 --> 01:25:24,877
...give us a Macedonian heir.
856
01:25:25,053 --> 01:25:26,748
A Macedonian heir.
857
01:25:33,128 --> 01:25:35,153
- You've been heard clearly.
- But...
858
01:25:35,330 --> 01:25:40,893
Parmenion! After the wedding, take two
brigades to Babylon, where I look to you...
859
01:25:41,069 --> 01:25:46,200
...and Antipater in Greece, to maintain
our empire and supply this expedition.
860
01:25:46,675 --> 01:25:48,768
I'll winter with my army at Marakand.
861
01:25:48,944 --> 01:25:52,880
I pray to Apollo you realize how far
you've turned from your father's path.
862
01:25:53,048 --> 01:25:55,881
Damn you, Parmenion,
by the gods and your Apollo.
863
01:25:56,051 --> 01:25:59,543
What was in my father's guts
wasn't overripe in reason like yours!
864
01:25:59,721 --> 01:26:03,316
He never lusted for war, Alexander,
or enjoyed it so.
865
01:26:03,492 --> 01:26:08,589
He consulted his peers in council,
among equals, the Macedonian way.
866
01:26:08,764 --> 01:26:11,460
He didn't decide based
on his personal desires.
867
01:26:11,633 --> 01:26:14,966
I've taken us further
than my father ever dreamed.
868
01:26:15,137 --> 01:26:16,434
Old man...
869
01:26:16,605 --> 01:26:19,267
...we're in new worlds.
870
01:26:19,975 --> 01:26:23,672
Alexander, be reasonable!
871
01:26:23,845 --> 01:26:26,279
Were they ever meant to be our equals?
872
01:26:26,448 --> 01:26:28,313
Share our rewards?
873
01:26:28,483 --> 01:26:30,610
You remember what Aristotle said.
874
01:26:30,786 --> 01:26:32,117
An Asian?
875
01:26:32,287 --> 01:26:36,053
What would a vow mean to a race
that's never kept their word to a Greek?
876
01:26:36,224 --> 01:26:38,317
- Aristotle be damned!
- Alexander!
877
01:26:38,493 --> 01:26:39,983
By Zeus and all the gods...
878
01:26:40,162 --> 01:26:44,292
...what makes you so much better
than them, Cassander?
879
01:26:44,466 --> 01:26:49,904
Better than you really are.
In you and those like you is this.
880
01:26:50,305 --> 01:26:52,136
Alexander.
881
01:26:54,810 --> 01:26:59,509
What disturbs me most is not your lack
of respect for my judgment.
882
01:27:01,583 --> 01:27:05,280
It's your contempt for a world
far older than ours.
883
01:27:20,535 --> 01:27:24,972
And so 10 years after his mother's
insistence he marry a Macedonian...
884
01:27:25,140 --> 01:27:26,937
Through our union...
885
01:27:27,108 --> 01:27:29,440
...Greek and barbarian...
886
01:27:29,611 --> 01:27:35,709
...the most powerful man in the world
took a girl of no political significance.
887
01:27:35,884 --> 01:27:37,374
Why?
888
01:27:43,992 --> 01:27:47,621
Some say it was for alliance
with the tribes.
889
01:27:49,297 --> 01:27:51,663
Others, the desire for a successor.
890
01:27:54,035 --> 01:27:59,371
And yet others said Alexander
truly fell in love.
891
01:28:00,308 --> 01:28:02,242
Who Roxane really was...
892
01:28:02,410 --> 01:28:08,645
...I doubt any of us ever saw further
than the pools of those black eyes.
893
01:28:10,518 --> 01:28:12,486
Alexander...
894
01:28:14,155 --> 01:28:16,783
...special for you.
895
01:28:20,262 --> 01:28:22,992
On this glorious occasion...
896
01:28:24,532 --> 01:28:27,501
...I toast this great army
that has given so much.
897
01:28:27,669 --> 01:28:31,765
And in honor of them, those of you
who set out with us seven long years ago...
898
01:28:31,940 --> 01:28:38,175
...I pronounce all your debts paid forthwith
from the royal treasury.
899
01:28:38,513 --> 01:28:39,775
Praise Alexander!
900
01:28:43,852 --> 01:28:45,945
And in honor of my bride...
901
01:28:47,055 --> 01:28:49,546
...my beautiful bride...
902
01:28:49,724 --> 01:28:54,286
...we recognize the many women
who've shared the long road with us...
903
01:28:54,462 --> 01:28:57,954
...and grant them dowries
befitting a proper marriage.
904
01:29:01,903 --> 01:29:04,701
And what about our boys?
905
01:29:04,873 --> 01:29:06,363
And lastly...
906
01:29:06,541 --> 01:29:09,806
...lastly, the gods demand no less of us...
907
01:29:09,978 --> 01:29:13,311
...that your children be given
a proper Greek education...
908
01:29:13,481 --> 01:29:18,077
...and military training
under our protection...
909
01:29:18,253 --> 01:29:22,485
...so as to be the new soldiers
of our kingdom...
910
01:29:22,657 --> 01:29:25,125
...in Asia.
911
01:30:04,699 --> 01:30:06,291
I found it in Egypt.
912
01:30:08,837 --> 01:30:11,328
The man who sold it said it came
from a time...
913
01:30:11,506 --> 01:30:15,875
...when man worshipped sun and stars.
914
01:30:21,149 --> 01:30:23,413
I'll always think of you...
915
01:30:24,185 --> 01:30:26,517
...as the sun, Alexander.
916
01:30:26,688 --> 01:30:30,852
And I pray your dream
will shine on all men.
917
01:30:39,567 --> 01:30:42,001
I wish you a son.
918
01:30:43,505 --> 01:30:45,905
You're a great man.
919
01:30:50,245 --> 01:30:53,510
Many will love you, Alexander,
but none so pure and deep...
920
01:31:10,198 --> 01:31:11,631
You...
921
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,495
...love him?
922
01:31:22,377 --> 01:31:25,403
He is Hephaistion.
923
01:31:39,127 --> 01:31:42,619
There are many different ways
to love, Roxane.
924
01:31:43,164 --> 01:31:45,223
Come.
925
01:31:59,714 --> 01:32:00,976
No.
926
01:32:01,149 --> 01:32:02,741
No, no.
927
01:32:52,867 --> 01:32:55,028
You have no fear.
928
01:32:56,471 --> 01:32:58,268
It's fitting.
929
01:32:59,541 --> 01:33:03,033
A man searches for a woman
at Earth's top...
930
01:33:03,211 --> 01:33:05,179
...and finds her.
931
01:33:22,564 --> 01:33:24,361
The myth becomes real.
932
01:33:35,376 --> 01:33:37,139
Great man?
933
01:33:37,312 --> 01:33:39,337
Sikander.
934
01:33:39,514 --> 01:33:41,311
You, I kill now.
935
01:33:46,888 --> 01:33:48,515
Do it.
936
01:33:48,957 --> 01:33:51,653
End it. I would do...
937
01:33:52,093 --> 01:33:54,254
I would do the same.
938
01:33:55,196 --> 01:33:57,824
I'll die a fool for this...
939
01:33:58,299 --> 01:34:00,028
...love.
940
01:34:47,148 --> 01:34:49,207
My life is now yours.
941
01:35:13,875 --> 01:35:17,641
You will have my son.
942
01:35:54,349 --> 01:35:58,945
Who is this woman you call
your queen, Alexander?
943
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:01,588
A hill girl?
944
01:36:01,789 --> 01:36:04,280
You, with your breeding.
945
01:36:04,459 --> 01:36:09,624
Already she makes enemies
with her strong, clumsy nature.
946
01:36:12,767 --> 01:36:15,167
Do not confuse us.
947
01:36:15,336 --> 01:36:19,204
I was never a barbarian as Philip said.
948
01:36:19,374 --> 01:36:22,138
We are of Achilles' royal blood.
949
01:36:22,844 --> 01:36:25,870
Zeus is your father.
950
01:36:27,448 --> 01:36:31,407
Oh, I understand she brings
you some happiness...
951
01:36:31,586 --> 01:36:33,315
...but hear me when I tell you...
952
01:36:33,488 --> 01:36:35,718
...act and act soon.
953
01:36:35,890 --> 01:36:37,881
After seven years, people wonder:
954
01:36:38,059 --> 01:36:40,357
"Who is this King Alexander?"
955
01:36:40,528 --> 01:36:46,330
I have given you ample proof.
Antipater daily undermines your authority.
956
01:36:46,501 --> 01:36:49,595
Return to Babylon
and strengthen your center.
957
01:36:50,405 --> 01:36:52,532
Or come home to Macedonia
and reorganize.
958
01:36:52,707 --> 01:36:55,232
But do not chase your dream...
959
01:36:55,410 --> 01:36:57,469
...further east.
960
01:36:57,645 --> 01:37:01,445
Your life and mine depend on it.
961
01:37:02,316 --> 01:37:04,011
Remember...
962
01:37:04,185 --> 01:37:07,882
...my only thoughts are of you.
963
01:37:08,055 --> 01:37:12,355
As you, too, must face
your glorious destiny.
964
01:37:12,527 --> 01:37:14,620
Think kindly of your mother.
965
01:37:14,796 --> 01:37:16,354
Provide for me.
966
01:37:16,531 --> 01:37:20,126
Protect me from your enemies
when you are gone.
967
01:37:21,569 --> 01:37:24,197
And remember always...
968
01:37:24,372 --> 01:37:27,933
...it is I who love you more than any.
969
01:37:34,215 --> 01:37:37,446
If only you were not a pale reflection...
970
01:37:37,618 --> 01:37:39,108
...of my mother's heart.
971
01:38:18,593 --> 01:38:20,527
Who did this?
972
01:38:21,863 --> 01:38:23,831
- Tell me.
- Hermolaus!
973
01:38:25,733 --> 01:38:29,533
Never will you find a man
as devoted as I. Yes.
974
01:38:29,704 --> 01:38:34,141
The conspiracy deeply upset Alexander...
975
01:38:34,308 --> 01:38:37,072
...not only because it involved
the young pages...
976
01:38:37,245 --> 01:38:39,110
...who'd shared his dream...
977
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:42,943
...but, more intimately,
it implicated Philotas...
978
01:38:43,117 --> 01:38:48,953
...his companion from boyhood, who was
captain of Alexander's royal guards.
979
01:38:49,123 --> 01:38:50,420
Alexander.
980
01:38:51,392 --> 01:38:53,485
Remember me for who I am.
981
01:38:54,295 --> 01:38:57,526
I do remember you, Philotas,
but not as you remember yourself.
982
01:38:57,698 --> 01:39:01,896
It appears to me and your peers that
the true weather of your soul is ambition.
983
01:39:02,069 --> 01:39:03,297
No.
984
01:39:03,471 --> 01:39:05,996
- None of us defended Philotas.
- I didn't do this!
985
01:39:06,173 --> 01:39:08,573
Then again, none of us ever liked him.
986
01:39:09,110 --> 01:39:13,706
And, of course, his power
was carved up by the rest of us.
987
01:39:21,889 --> 01:39:27,555
Before he died, we tortured him to find out
what his father, Parmenion, knew.
988
01:39:27,728 --> 01:39:29,889
But this we never learned.
989
01:39:30,064 --> 01:39:34,160
What to do with Parmenion and his
20,000 troops guarding our supply lines...
990
01:39:34,335 --> 01:39:36,565
...was a far more delicate matter.
991
01:39:36,737 --> 01:39:40,571
Was he innocent in this,
or had he decided to act...
992
01:39:40,741 --> 01:39:43,642
...before age further withered his power?
993
01:39:43,911 --> 01:39:45,344
They'll be divided.
994
01:39:45,513 --> 01:39:49,005
- The men will follow their king.
- Alexander won't be there.
995
01:39:50,217 --> 01:39:52,151
Necessity required Alexander to act.
996
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:53,787
The infantry will follow me.
997
01:39:53,955 --> 01:39:58,892
And he sealed the camp within the hour
of the first accusations against Philotas.
998
01:40:00,094 --> 01:40:04,030
Then go, Antigonus, and Cleitus.
999
01:40:04,198 --> 01:40:06,063
And go quickly.
1000
01:40:07,735 --> 01:40:14,038
Three days' hard riding sent Antigonus
and Cleitus to Parmenion.
1001
01:40:16,944 --> 01:40:20,436
His soldiers accepted the finding
of guilt against Parmenion...
1002
01:40:20,615 --> 01:40:25,746
...as they understood that the head of
family is responsible for the behavior of all.
1003
01:40:55,683 --> 01:40:58,447
Cleitus. Antigonus.
1004
01:40:58,619 --> 01:41:00,246
Parmenion.
1005
01:42:05,519 --> 01:42:08,750
I remember a remark of Bagoas' once...
1006
01:42:08,923 --> 01:42:12,916
...that love eluded Alexander as much,
if not more...
1007
01:42:13,094 --> 01:42:15,324
...than finding the end of the world.
1008
01:42:21,969 --> 01:42:26,065
In the spring, Alexander marched
an army of 150,000...
1009
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:29,300
...across the passes of the Hindu Kush...
1010
01:42:29,844 --> 01:42:31,835
...into the unknown.
1011
01:42:33,114 --> 01:42:37,915
In his dream, it was the promised route
to the end of the world.
1012
01:42:38,085 --> 01:42:39,985
We were now a mobile empire...
1013
01:42:40,154 --> 01:42:44,022
...stretching back thousands of miles
to Greece.
1014
01:42:44,191 --> 01:42:47,092
Cooks and architects,
doctors and surveyors...
1015
01:42:47,261 --> 01:42:48,728
...moneylenders and wives...
1016
01:42:48,896 --> 01:42:51,763
...children, lovers, whores.
1017
01:42:51,932 --> 01:42:53,490
And forget not the slaves...
1018
01:42:53,667 --> 01:42:58,536
...that anonymous, bent, working spine
of this new beast.
1019
01:42:58,706 --> 01:43:02,540
Ravaged or expanded, for better or worse...
1020
01:43:03,410 --> 01:43:08,006
...no occupied territory
remained the same again.
1021
01:43:10,050 --> 01:43:12,177
Although devoted to Roxane...
1022
01:43:12,353 --> 01:43:15,220
...Alexander's visits
to her tent diminished...
1023
01:43:15,656 --> 01:43:20,616
...as a year, then two, went by
without a successor...
1024
01:43:21,562 --> 01:43:24,656
...wounding Alexander's great pride.
1025
01:43:27,301 --> 01:43:30,896
The surveyors are saying that Zeus
chained Prometheus up there.
1026
01:43:31,071 --> 01:43:33,403
In one of those caves.
1027
01:43:34,241 --> 01:43:36,971
They say there's a giant eagle's nest
just above it.
1028
01:43:37,278 --> 01:43:42,079
I suppose he drops down each night
to peck out poor Prometheus' liver.
1029
01:43:44,718 --> 01:43:48,176
You remember what Aristotle told us
of these mountains?
1030
01:43:49,056 --> 01:43:50,648
Yes, I do.
1031
01:43:51,525 --> 01:43:53,618
That when we reach these heights...
1032
01:43:53,794 --> 01:43:56,991
...we'd look back and see Macedonia
to the west...
1033
01:43:57,164 --> 01:43:59,792
...and the outer ocean to the east.
1034
01:44:03,871 --> 01:44:08,865
But I fear this world is far larger
than anyone dreamed.
1035
01:44:09,043 --> 01:44:11,204
A world of Titans.
1036
01:44:11,378 --> 01:44:15,371
The scouts have been up
every known trail, Alexander.
1037
01:44:15,549 --> 01:44:17,779
There is no way across.
1038
01:44:18,352 --> 01:44:22,516
Except to the south, into India.
1039
01:44:22,923 --> 01:44:25,983
Were we gods, we'd breach
these walls to the eastern ocean.
1040
01:44:26,827 --> 01:44:28,522
We will, Alexander.
1041
01:44:28,696 --> 01:44:31,358
In a few years' time, we will return.
1042
01:44:31,532 --> 01:44:35,332
But first, the men must see their homes.
1043
01:44:36,804 --> 01:44:38,829
Have you found your home...
1044
01:44:39,006 --> 01:44:40,701
...Ptolemy?
1045
01:44:45,346 --> 01:44:48,577
More and more, I think
it will be Alexandria.
1046
01:44:50,684 --> 01:44:52,845
Well, at least it's hot.
1047
01:44:53,854 --> 01:44:55,583
And Thais...
1048
01:44:56,457 --> 01:44:58,516
...she loved it there.
1049
01:45:00,294 --> 01:45:02,558
Women bring men home.
1050
01:45:03,664 --> 01:45:08,567
- I have no such feeling.
- You have Babylon, Alexander.
1051
01:45:08,736 --> 01:45:10,897
Where your mother awaits your invitation.
1052
01:45:11,338 --> 01:45:13,829
Yes, I have Babylon.
1053
01:45:14,008 --> 01:45:18,377
But each land, each boundary I cross...
1054
01:45:18,545 --> 01:45:20,877
...I strip away another illusion.
1055
01:45:22,249 --> 01:45:24,581
I sense death will be the last.
1056
01:45:27,321 --> 01:45:30,779
Yet still I push harder and harder...
1057
01:45:30,958 --> 01:45:34,519
...to reach this home.
1058
01:45:40,100 --> 01:45:41,465
Where has our eagle gone?
1059
01:45:46,140 --> 01:45:48,233
We must go on, Ptolemy.
1060
01:45:49,543 --> 01:45:51,204
Until we find an end.
1061
01:45:59,620 --> 01:46:03,351
India, the land where the sun was born...
1062
01:46:03,524 --> 01:46:06,118
...fabled to be even richer than Persia...
1063
01:46:06,293 --> 01:46:10,354
...had never been explored or conquered.
1064
01:46:10,531 --> 01:46:15,867
From the beginning, Alexander struggled
to unify a land without a center.
1065
01:46:16,036 --> 01:46:18,766
Kings who conspired against one another.
1066
01:46:18,939 --> 01:46:23,000
A labyrinth of tribes urged on
by zealots and philosophers...
1067
01:46:23,177 --> 01:46:27,375
...to die by the thousands
for their strange gods.
1068
01:46:27,948 --> 01:46:31,611
Crateros, in the advance party,
fought against men with hairy skins...
1069
01:46:31,785 --> 01:46:35,277
...who were tiny and lived
in the tops of trees.
1070
01:46:43,464 --> 01:46:46,160
Until Hephaistion convinced us
these were animals...
1071
01:46:46,333 --> 01:46:48,597
...who imitated men
but wore their own skin.
1072
01:46:48,769 --> 01:46:50,396
Keep that away from me.
1073
01:46:50,571 --> 01:46:53,631
They called this tribe "monkey."
1074
01:46:55,743 --> 01:46:57,301
Monkey.
1075
01:46:58,912 --> 01:47:00,937
- Incredible.
- Look at his hands.
1076
01:47:03,117 --> 01:47:05,108
Look, Roxane.
1077
01:47:06,587 --> 01:47:07,815
Hello, little man.
1078
01:47:08,522 --> 01:47:11,685
- Do they speak?
- No, but they do sing.
1079
01:47:11,859 --> 01:47:14,589
And then, there was the rain.
1080
01:47:21,135 --> 01:47:24,866
Never before had we seen water
that fell from the gods...
1081
01:47:25,039 --> 01:47:27,701
...for 60 days and nights.
1082
01:47:31,178 --> 01:47:33,009
You know better, Machatas.
1083
01:47:33,347 --> 01:47:34,871
What's your son going to say?
1084
01:47:35,115 --> 01:47:37,583
Come on, man.
The older you get, the stronger.
1085
01:47:37,751 --> 01:47:39,719
Right, my king.
1086
01:47:39,887 --> 01:47:41,354
Give me my horse, Alexander.
1087
01:47:41,522 --> 01:47:43,717
I'll be with you at your side.
1088
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,089
Watch out for the serpent.
1089
01:47:48,729 --> 01:47:50,822
Hold it, hold it tight.
1090
01:47:52,132 --> 01:47:54,862
Cleitus, bring the snake healers!
1091
01:47:55,035 --> 01:47:57,970
- Pauvanus. Someone bring Pauvanus.
- Where's the bite?
1092
01:47:58,138 --> 01:47:59,867
- What happened?
- It's to the neck.
1093
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,372
Oh, no. Zeus, no.
1094
01:48:02,543 --> 01:48:04,101
Hold on. Hold on.
1095
01:48:04,278 --> 01:48:05,609
Be brave.
1096
01:48:05,779 --> 01:48:07,474
Be brave.
1097
01:48:07,648 --> 01:48:09,616
Oh, Zeus.
1098
01:48:11,452 --> 01:48:15,115
Our quest for gold and glory evaporated
as we realized...
1099
01:48:15,289 --> 01:48:17,621
...there was none to be had.
1100
01:48:18,092 --> 01:48:19,923
Tempers worsened.
1101
01:48:20,094 --> 01:48:23,063
We massacred all Indians who resisted.
1102
01:48:23,230 --> 01:48:25,357
And with the local water putrid...
1103
01:48:25,532 --> 01:48:28,433
...we drank the strong wine.
1104
01:49:20,420 --> 01:49:22,217
As we moved southeast...
1105
01:49:22,389 --> 01:49:26,792
...Alexander often returned the lands
we'd conquered to their defeated kings...
1106
01:49:27,294 --> 01:49:30,024
...so as to make of them allies.
1107
01:49:30,197 --> 01:49:32,722
But this did not sit well with the army...
1108
01:49:32,900 --> 01:49:36,336
...who began to wonder if Alexander
was on some crazed quest...
1109
01:49:36,503 --> 01:49:39,768
...to imitate the glory of Herakles.
1110
01:50:03,497 --> 01:50:04,725
Give him a kiss.
1111
01:50:04,898 --> 01:50:06,866
Go on, kiss him.
1112
01:50:10,938 --> 01:50:12,803
Give him a kiss.
1113
01:50:23,650 --> 01:50:26,210
- To Bagoas.
- To Bagoas!
1114
01:50:30,924 --> 01:50:35,054
- And to my mother's god, Dionysus...
- Dionysus!
1115
01:50:35,229 --> 01:50:39,495
...who, we're told by our Indian allies,
traveled here before Herakles...
1116
01:50:39,666 --> 01:50:42,396
...some 6000 years ago.
1117
01:50:42,569 --> 01:50:44,093
To a hero.
1118
01:50:44,271 --> 01:50:46,262
To a hero!
1119
01:51:05,525 --> 01:51:06,856
Roxane.
1120
01:51:13,634 --> 01:51:16,068
You lose face.
1121
01:51:16,236 --> 01:51:17,794
These Indians...
1122
01:51:17,971 --> 01:51:19,734
...they are a low, evil people.
1123
01:51:19,906 --> 01:51:22,374
You don't try to understand them.
1124
01:51:22,542 --> 01:51:24,806
I try.
1125
01:51:24,978 --> 01:51:28,004
But this I know, Alexander.
1126
01:51:28,181 --> 01:51:31,275
In Persia, you are a great king.
1127
01:51:31,451 --> 01:51:33,009
Here...
1128
01:51:33,186 --> 01:51:35,154
...they hate you.
1129
01:51:37,758 --> 01:51:41,250
Let us go back to Babylon.
1130
01:51:42,229 --> 01:51:43,958
There, you are strong.
1131
01:51:46,099 --> 01:51:48,465
We'll talk about this later.
1132
01:51:48,635 --> 01:51:50,034
Yes.
1133
01:51:50,203 --> 01:51:51,727
Later.
1134
01:51:51,905 --> 01:51:53,429
Talk.
1135
01:51:56,243 --> 01:51:58,211
I shall come.
1136
01:51:58,378 --> 01:51:59,743
Tonight.
1137
01:52:00,647 --> 01:52:02,512
And I shall wait.
1138
01:52:04,351 --> 01:52:06,444
Good night, my king.
1139
01:52:08,155 --> 01:52:10,316
Your Majesty.
1140
01:52:11,291 --> 01:52:13,088
I'll toast to Bagoas.
1141
01:52:15,228 --> 01:52:18,664
And the 30,000 beautiful Persian boys...
1142
01:52:18,832 --> 01:52:21,801
...we're training to fight
in this great army.
1143
01:52:25,238 --> 01:52:27,172
And to the memory of Philip.
1144
01:52:27,507 --> 01:52:30,408
Had he lived to see his Macedonians...
1145
01:52:30,577 --> 01:52:33,603
...transformed into such...
1146
01:52:33,780 --> 01:52:35,509
...a pretty army.
1147
01:52:37,684 --> 01:52:38,981
To Philip.
1148
01:52:39,152 --> 01:52:41,347
To a real hero.
1149
01:52:41,521 --> 01:52:43,682
Philip!
1150
01:52:46,493 --> 01:52:51,396
And to Cleitus and his new appointment
as satrap of Bactria.
1151
01:52:51,565 --> 01:52:53,089
Cleitus.
1152
01:52:54,501 --> 01:52:57,129
That's a fancy way of putting it, Ptolemy.
1153
01:52:57,304 --> 01:53:00,296
But we all know what a pension
and an exile is...
1154
01:53:00,474 --> 01:53:02,305
...after 30 years' service.
1155
01:53:02,476 --> 01:53:06,537
You call governing
this major province exile?
1156
01:53:06,747 --> 01:53:09,875
Has Your Majesty given any
of his closest companions...
1157
01:53:10,550 --> 01:53:12,677
...a province so far from home?
1158
01:53:12,853 --> 01:53:16,289
Then you won't make a very
good satrap, will you, Cleitus?
1159
01:53:19,126 --> 01:53:21,253
So be it.
1160
01:53:21,428 --> 01:53:24,886
Let me rot in Macedonian rags...
1161
01:53:25,065 --> 01:53:27,226
...rather than shine...
1162
01:53:27,401 --> 01:53:28,732
...in Eastern pomp.
1163
01:53:30,170 --> 01:53:33,936
I won't quake and bow down
like the sycophants you have around you.
1164
01:53:34,107 --> 01:53:37,668
Hephaistion, Nearchus, Perdiccas.
1165
01:53:38,145 --> 01:53:42,479
As governor of one
of our most Asian of satrapies...
1166
01:53:42,649 --> 01:53:47,609
...Cleitus, does it not occur to you
that if my Persian subjects...
1167
01:53:47,788 --> 01:53:50,916
...bow down before me,
it's important for them to do so?
1168
01:53:51,091 --> 01:53:53,855
Do I insist on Greeks doing the same?
1169
01:53:54,027 --> 01:53:57,622
You accept Greek offerings
as a son of Zeus, do you not?
1170
01:54:00,967 --> 01:54:02,457
Only when offered.
1171
01:54:02,636 --> 01:54:05,070
Why don't you refuse
these vain flatteries?
1172
01:54:05,539 --> 01:54:08,201
What freedom is this, to bow before you?
1173
01:54:08,375 --> 01:54:10,969
You bow before Herakles,
and he was mortal...
1174
01:54:11,144 --> 01:54:12,771
...but a son of Zeus.
1175
01:54:12,946 --> 01:54:16,643
How can you, so young,
compare yourself to Herakles?
1176
01:54:17,884 --> 01:54:19,852
Why not?
1177
01:54:22,355 --> 01:54:24,380
I've achieved more in my years.
1178
01:54:24,558 --> 01:54:26,526
Traveled as far.
1179
01:54:26,693 --> 01:54:27,921
Probably farther.
1180
01:54:28,094 --> 01:54:30,289
Herakles did it by himself.
1181
01:54:30,464 --> 01:54:33,490
Did you conquer Asia
by yourself, Alexander?
1182
01:54:33,667 --> 01:54:35,464
Who planned the Asian invasion?
1183
01:54:35,635 --> 01:54:37,364
Was it not your father?
1184
01:54:37,537 --> 01:54:39,630
Or is his blood no longer good enough?
1185
01:54:39,973 --> 01:54:43,534
- Zeus-Amon, is it?
- You insult me, Cleitus.
1186
01:54:43,710 --> 01:54:46,474
You mock my family. Be careful.
1187
01:54:46,847 --> 01:54:50,442
Never would your father have taken
barbarians as his friends...
1188
01:54:50,617 --> 01:54:53,279
...asked us to fight with them
as equals in war.
1189
01:54:53,453 --> 01:54:55,353
Are we not good enough any longer?
1190
01:54:55,522 --> 01:54:57,615
I remember a time...
1191
01:54:57,791 --> 01:55:00,385
...when we could talk as men,
straight to the eye.
1192
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:03,427
None of this scraping, groveling.
1193
01:55:05,131 --> 01:55:07,190
Now you kiss them?
1194
01:55:07,834 --> 01:55:12,862
Take a barbarian, childless wife
and dare call her queen?
1195
01:55:15,308 --> 01:55:19,472
Go quickly, Cleitus,
before you ruin your life.
1196
01:55:23,149 --> 01:55:26,641
Doesn't your great pride
fear the gods any longer?
1197
01:55:28,121 --> 01:55:31,522
This army...
This army is your blood, boy!
1198
01:55:31,691 --> 01:55:33,750
Without it, you're nothing!
1199
01:55:38,832 --> 01:55:41,232
You no longer serve the purpose
of this march!
1200
01:55:41,401 --> 01:55:44,165
- Get him from my sight!
- I don't serve your purpose?!
1201
01:55:44,337 --> 01:55:48,398
What was I serving when I saved
your puppy life at Gaugamela?
1202
01:55:48,575 --> 01:55:51,976
Do you think we'd be forced now
to mate with brown apes?
1203
01:55:52,145 --> 01:55:53,544
Alexander!
1204
01:55:53,713 --> 01:55:56,045
Turn out the guards!
Arrest him for treason!
1205
01:56:03,423 --> 01:56:05,254
- Who's with him?
- No.
1206
01:56:05,425 --> 01:56:06,949
Who's with him?
1207
01:56:07,594 --> 01:56:09,755
I call Father Zeus to witness.
1208
01:56:09,930 --> 01:56:12,228
I call you to trial before him!
1209
01:56:12,399 --> 01:56:14,890
And we'll see how deep
this conspiracy cuts!
1210
01:56:15,068 --> 01:56:17,298
- Take him!
- You speak of plots against you?
1211
01:56:17,470 --> 01:56:18,937
What about poor Parmenion?
1212
01:56:19,139 --> 01:56:21,937
You made me do your foul deed.
Have you no shame?
1213
01:56:22,943 --> 01:56:26,003
Hypocrite. Despot. False king.
1214
01:56:26,846 --> 01:56:29,815
You and your barbarian mother
live in shame.
1215
01:56:54,507 --> 01:56:56,236
Cleitus.
1216
01:56:56,409 --> 01:56:58,274
Oh, my Cleitus.
1217
01:57:05,752 --> 01:57:07,276
- Let me pass.
- None can enter.
1218
01:57:07,454 --> 01:57:09,354
I am the queen.
1219
01:57:13,159 --> 01:57:15,389
I want to see him. I've waited three days.
1220
01:57:15,562 --> 01:57:18,326
He says none, not even you.
1221
01:57:19,399 --> 01:57:23,301
- He needs me.
- No, he doesn't.
1222
01:57:23,470 --> 01:57:25,301
And he needs you?
1223
01:57:26,940 --> 01:57:29,431
Hephaistion, you make a mistake.
1224
01:57:35,615 --> 01:57:38,516
The army needs your reassurance.
1225
01:57:38,985 --> 01:57:40,714
Alexander.
1226
01:57:42,722 --> 01:57:44,349
Yes.
1227
01:57:44,524 --> 01:57:48,358
Like an old lover they forgive,
but they will never forget.
1228
01:57:50,130 --> 01:57:51,461
You know more than any...
1229
01:57:51,631 --> 01:57:56,193
...great deeds are done by men
who took and never regretted.
1230
01:57:56,369 --> 01:57:58,428
You're Alexander.
1231
01:57:58,605 --> 01:58:01,438
Pity and grief will only destroy you.
1232
01:58:01,608 --> 01:58:05,476
Have I become so arrogant
that I am blind?
1233
01:58:07,013 --> 01:58:08,878
Sometimes...
1234
01:58:09,049 --> 01:58:11,176
...to expect the best of everyone...
1235
01:58:11,851 --> 01:58:13,910
...is arrogance.
1236
01:58:16,856 --> 01:58:19,552
Then Cleitus spoke true.
1237
01:58:19,726 --> 01:58:21,717
I am become a tyrant.
1238
01:58:22,128 --> 01:58:24,255
You're mortal.
1239
01:58:24,431 --> 01:58:26,365
And they know it.
1240
01:58:26,533 --> 01:58:31,197
And they forgive you because
you make them proud of themselves.
1241
01:58:32,238 --> 01:58:34,069
I've failed...
1242
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:36,037
...utterly.
1243
01:59:05,538 --> 01:59:08,735
Philip, King of Macedonia...
1244
01:59:08,908 --> 01:59:10,773
...and leader of the Greeks.
1245
01:59:11,544 --> 01:59:16,504
All my life, I've waited to see Greeks
grovel with respect for Macedonia.
1246
01:59:17,784 --> 01:59:19,911
Today is that day.
1247
01:59:27,494 --> 01:59:30,224
They say already,
"Philip was a great general...
1248
01:59:30,396 --> 01:59:34,264
...but Alexander is simply great."
1249
01:59:35,635 --> 01:59:38,331
But if you ever insult me again...
1250
01:59:38,505 --> 01:59:40,473
...I’ll kill you.
1251
01:59:46,279 --> 01:59:47,678
I've missed you.
1252
01:59:47,847 --> 01:59:50,509
In the spring, Persia.
1253
01:59:50,683 --> 01:59:52,844
You'll command my horse from the right.
1254
01:59:53,019 --> 01:59:55,249
I'm honored, Father. I wouldn't miss it...
1255
01:59:55,421 --> 01:59:57,150
...for all the gold in the world.
1256
01:59:57,323 --> 01:59:59,951
Which, one day, you'll have.
1257
02:00:04,564 --> 02:00:07,124
Making himself a 13th god.
1258
02:00:07,300 --> 02:00:09,427
He's drunk so much wine, my poor Philip.
1259
02:00:09,602 --> 02:00:11,467
He's lost his mind.
1260
02:00:14,541 --> 02:00:17,237
- Your Majesty.
- Attalus.
1261
02:00:21,748 --> 02:00:24,649
I hope the prince
is enjoying the spectacle...
1262
02:00:24,818 --> 02:00:27,685
...as much as our regent.
1263
02:00:27,854 --> 02:00:29,481
He's very tired.
1264
02:00:33,693 --> 02:00:35,991
Hey.
1265
02:00:38,398 --> 02:00:41,492
- Pausanias, bring the rest of the guard.
- Royal guard!
1266
02:00:41,768 --> 02:00:44,464
To the arena! March!
1267
02:00:44,637 --> 02:00:47,538
No guard, Your Majesty?
In all this crowd?
1268
02:00:47,707 --> 02:00:51,074
- Greeks all over the place.
- Cleitus, Cleitus.
1269
02:00:51,244 --> 02:00:53,303
My Cleitus.
1270
02:00:53,746 --> 02:00:56,408
This man you can
always trust, Alexander.
1271
02:00:56,850 --> 02:00:58,442
Treat him as you would me.
1272
02:00:58,618 --> 02:01:00,813
He'll guard your back for you.
1273
02:01:01,321 --> 02:01:03,516
Yes, Father.
1274
02:01:03,690 --> 02:01:06,090
My people are guard enough today.
1275
02:01:06,259 --> 02:01:09,854
Let these Greeks see for themselves
how I can walk through my people.
1276
02:01:10,029 --> 02:01:11,553
Then let them call me tyrant.
1277
02:01:12,098 --> 02:01:15,329
Bring the main guard in
after my entry only.
1278
02:01:15,501 --> 02:01:19,164
Cleitus, make sure the wine
flows steady all day.
1279
02:01:19,339 --> 02:01:21,398
I want them to like me.
1280
02:01:28,514 --> 02:01:31,142
Weren't you told? I go in alone.
1281
02:01:31,317 --> 02:01:33,410
Follow with the main guard.
1282
02:01:33,586 --> 02:01:35,019
Go on.
1283
02:01:38,057 --> 02:01:41,390
- Go on.
- Father, it's best I go with you.
1284
02:01:44,330 --> 02:01:47,424
You want the world to see
you're my successor.
1285
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:49,591
Is that what she wants?
1286
02:01:50,069 --> 02:01:52,833
Don't look so hurt all the time,
Alexander. Be a man.
1287
02:01:53,006 --> 02:01:57,204
You count yourself lucky you were here
at all today, after your public display.
1288
02:02:00,980 --> 02:02:03,141
By Herakles, by Zeus, by all the gods...
1289
02:02:03,316 --> 02:02:05,876
...obey me this once!
1290
02:02:07,186 --> 02:02:09,746
Have courage, Father.
1291
02:02:09,923 --> 02:02:12,448
And go on your way
rejoicing that at each step...
1292
02:02:12,625 --> 02:02:14,820
...you may recall your valor.
1293
02:02:50,596 --> 02:02:54,532
And now, our beloved King Philip...
1294
02:02:54,701 --> 02:02:57,829
...in whose honor
these wedding games begin.
1295
02:03:15,788 --> 02:03:18,222
Pausanias, I told you...
1296
02:04:08,408 --> 02:04:10,069
The king is slain!
1297
02:04:59,559 --> 02:05:02,050
The king lives!
1298
02:05:02,228 --> 02:05:05,629
Alexander, son of Philip!
1299
02:05:05,798 --> 02:05:07,595
May the gods bless the king!
1300
02:05:12,171 --> 02:05:14,901
You're king now. You're king.
1301
02:05:23,082 --> 02:05:26,540
May the gods bless Alexander!
1302
02:05:28,521 --> 02:05:30,682
- Alexander!
- Alexander!
1303
02:05:39,665 --> 02:05:41,030
Get out.
1304
02:05:42,502 --> 02:05:43,969
Go.
1305
02:05:48,908 --> 02:05:51,308
How can you behave
so shamelessly in public?
1306
02:05:51,477 --> 02:05:53,741
Because it was meant to be.
1307
02:05:53,913 --> 02:05:55,972
This isn't how I wanted to become king.
1308
02:05:56,149 --> 02:06:00,483
- No one blames you.
- They blame me behind my back! In secret.
1309
02:06:00,653 --> 02:06:02,211
- Slander is not power.
- Shame is?
1310
02:06:04,989 --> 02:06:06,980
Who killed my father?
1311
02:06:07,492 --> 02:06:09,084
Tell me.
1312
02:06:09,260 --> 02:06:11,956
Tell me, or shall I put you on trial
for his murder?
1313
02:06:12,130 --> 02:06:14,724
- Pausanias.
- He had help!
1314
02:06:14,899 --> 02:06:17,026
Did you help him?
1315
02:06:24,142 --> 02:06:26,440
No, never.
1316
02:06:26,911 --> 02:06:29,846
Why? Why would I?
1317
02:06:30,982 --> 02:06:32,643
So many wanted it.
1318
02:06:32,817 --> 02:06:34,182
Greeks, Persians, men...
1319
02:06:34,352 --> 02:06:36,320
You're mad. You're cursed.
1320
02:06:36,487 --> 02:06:39,149
You've unleashed Furies,
you don't know their power.
1321
02:06:39,323 --> 02:06:42,224
Now who is exaggerating?
1322
02:06:43,161 --> 02:06:45,459
Even if it was the wish of your heart...
1323
02:06:45,630 --> 02:06:48,326
That's a lie! He was my father!
I loved him!
1324
02:06:48,499 --> 02:06:50,364
He was not your father!
1325
02:06:50,535 --> 02:06:52,662
You owe no blood debt to that man.
1326
02:06:52,837 --> 02:06:55,635
You lie and lie and lie.
1327
02:06:55,807 --> 02:06:58,867
So many lies you've spun
like a sorceress, confusing me.
1328
02:06:59,043 --> 02:07:02,444
Look at you. Look at you.
1329
02:07:02,613 --> 02:07:06,105
You are everything that he was not.
1330
02:07:06,284 --> 02:07:09,583
He was coarse, you are refined.
1331
02:07:09,754 --> 02:07:13,656
He was a general, and you are a king.
1332
02:07:13,825 --> 02:07:15,850
He could not rule himself...
1333
02:07:16,127 --> 02:07:19,255
...and you shall rule the world.
1334
02:07:19,430 --> 02:07:23,127
You're so cursed by all the gods
when you speak like this.
1335
02:07:23,301 --> 02:07:25,201
Such thick pride...
1336
02:07:25,369 --> 02:07:27,269
...and no mourning for your husband.
1337
02:07:27,438 --> 02:07:28,837
Mourn...
1338
02:07:29,006 --> 02:07:30,564
...him?
1339
02:07:31,542 --> 02:07:34,067
What do you know of Philip?
1340
02:07:35,580 --> 02:07:39,880
No, Alexander. Zeus is your father.
1341
02:07:40,618 --> 02:07:44,349
- Act like it.
- My first act would be to kill you!
1342
02:07:45,623 --> 02:07:47,955
You murdered me in my cradle.
1343
02:07:48,126 --> 02:07:50,356
You birthed me in a sack of hate.
1344
02:07:50,528 --> 02:07:52,689
Hate you have for those
stronger than you.
1345
02:07:52,864 --> 02:07:56,732
- Hate you have for men.
- I taught you my heart, Alexander!
1346
02:07:56,901 --> 02:08:00,735
And by Zeus and Dionysus,
you grew beautiful.
1347
02:08:00,905 --> 02:08:03,203
Damn your sorceress soul.
1348
02:08:03,374 --> 02:08:06,070
Your soul is mine, Alexander.
1349
02:08:07,545 --> 02:08:09,069
No! No!
1350
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:13,582
You've taken from me everything
I've ever loved and made me you!
1351
02:08:14,218 --> 02:08:16,243
Stop it. Stop acting like a boy.
1352
02:08:16,420 --> 02:08:18,888
You're a king. Act like one.
1353
02:08:19,056 --> 02:08:20,819
Parmenion is with us, for once.
1354
02:08:20,992 --> 02:08:22,857
Execute Attalus without delay.
1355
02:08:23,027 --> 02:08:25,962
Confiscate their lands and root out
that family forever.
1356
02:08:26,130 --> 02:08:27,563
Eurydice? Never.
1357
02:08:27,732 --> 02:08:29,165
Laugh, you monster.
1358
02:08:29,333 --> 02:08:30,698
You heartbreaker.
1359
02:08:30,868 --> 02:08:33,769
How will you live out the year like this?
1360
02:08:33,938 --> 02:08:38,671
- Have you learned nothing from Philip?
- No. From you, Mother.
1361
02:08:41,846 --> 02:08:43,541
The best.
1362
02:08:53,558 --> 02:08:58,154
What have I done
to make you hate me so?
1363
02:08:59,931 --> 02:09:04,561
One day, you will understand this.
1364
02:09:04,735 --> 02:09:08,296
But I have only you in my heart.
1365
02:09:10,942 --> 02:09:14,173
I know what you need.
1366
02:09:15,079 --> 02:09:17,377
Now is the time.
1367
02:09:17,548 --> 02:09:19,812
The gods favor you.
1368
02:09:20,151 --> 02:09:23,450
Great wealth, power, conquest.
1369
02:09:23,621 --> 02:09:25,384
All you desire.
1370
02:09:25,556 --> 02:09:28,184
The world is yours!
1371
02:09:28,359 --> 02:09:30,293
Take it.
1372
02:09:34,832 --> 02:09:36,595
Take it.
1373
02:09:58,756 --> 02:10:02,192
He never saw his mother again.
1374
02:10:04,996 --> 02:10:08,193
And while he was away,
fighting the Northern tribes...
1375
02:10:08,366 --> 02:10:14,032
...Olympias had Philip's new wife,
Eurydice, and her infant son murdered.
1376
02:10:15,606 --> 02:10:17,164
By necessity...
1377
02:10:17,341 --> 02:10:21,107
...he had her uncle Attalus executed.
1378
02:10:43,067 --> 02:10:44,694
Of course you have fears.
1379
02:10:44,869 --> 02:10:46,302
We all have fears...
1380
02:10:46,470 --> 02:10:49,633
...because no one has ever
gone this far before.
1381
02:10:50,207 --> 02:10:54,644
And now we are weeks from
the encircling ocean, our route home.
1382
02:10:54,945 --> 02:10:56,572
We'll build a fleet of ships...
1383
02:10:56,747 --> 02:10:59,716
...and sail all the way
back down the Nile to Egypt.
1384
02:10:59,884 --> 02:11:03,012
And from Alexandria,
we shall be home within weeks.
1385
02:11:03,387 --> 02:11:05,617
There to be reunited with our loved ones.
1386
02:11:05,790 --> 02:11:09,385
To share our great treasures
and tales of Asia.
1387
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:14,395
And to enjoy our imperishable glory
to the ends of time.
1388
02:11:15,599 --> 02:11:19,091
- Follow Alexander.
- I'll follow you.
1389
02:11:23,741 --> 02:11:25,402
What?
1390
02:11:25,576 --> 02:11:28,977
- Silence?
- We're with you, Alexander!
1391
02:11:29,146 --> 02:11:30,374
Peucestas.
1392
02:11:30,681 --> 02:11:32,808
A hero.
1393
02:11:32,983 --> 02:11:36,180
Where are the Amazons of myth
who dare to fight and kill men?
1394
02:11:36,554 --> 02:11:38,146
Where have they gone?
1395
02:11:39,657 --> 02:11:42,455
We'll never leave you, Alexander!
1396
02:11:43,561 --> 02:11:44,789
You, Meleager.
1397
02:11:44,962 --> 02:11:48,420
Who are these tribes ahead
compared to those we've vanquished?
1398
02:11:51,535 --> 02:11:53,298
Lysimachus?
1399
02:11:55,873 --> 02:11:57,465
Antigonus.
1400
02:11:59,543 --> 02:12:02,205
You break my heart, you men.
1401
02:12:02,380 --> 02:12:04,245
Afraid.
1402
02:12:05,182 --> 02:12:06,706
Crateros.
1403
02:12:08,886 --> 02:12:10,114
Crateros.
1404
02:12:10,287 --> 02:12:11,413
And another one.
1405
02:12:11,589 --> 02:12:13,420
Crateros.
1406
02:12:14,892 --> 02:12:16,757
Crateros.
1407
02:12:23,434 --> 02:12:25,061
My king.
1408
02:12:26,404 --> 02:12:30,568
I don't like no bellyaching.
I won't tolerate it in any of my units.
1409
02:12:32,343 --> 02:12:34,538
I lost many a man.
1410
02:12:35,646 --> 02:12:38,274
Young ones, never been with a woman.
1411
02:12:39,517 --> 02:12:41,678
Some died of disease.
1412
02:12:42,253 --> 02:12:46,451
Some were butchered in Scythia
by the banks of the Oxus.
1413
02:12:46,624 --> 02:12:48,387
Some died good.
1414
02:12:48,559 --> 02:12:51,585
Some just didn't get no luck.
1415
02:12:52,430 --> 02:12:54,159
But they died.
1416
02:12:56,500 --> 02:12:59,401
Forty thousand I come over with
eight years ago.
1417
02:12:59,570 --> 02:13:03,631
And we march after you
more than 10,000 miles.
1418
02:13:04,708 --> 02:13:08,474
In the rain and the sun,
we fought for you.
1419
02:13:08,646 --> 02:13:11,740
Some of us, 50 battles we've been in.
1420
02:13:12,483 --> 02:13:14,883
We killed many a barbarian.
1421
02:13:16,554 --> 02:13:21,389
And now when I look around,
how many of them faces do I see?
1422
02:13:21,559 --> 02:13:25,325
Now you want us to fight more
of these crazy monkey tribes east of here.
1423
02:13:25,496 --> 02:13:29,057
We hear talk of thousands
of these elephant monsters...
1424
02:13:29,233 --> 02:13:32,168
...cross a hundred more rivers.
1425
02:13:33,037 --> 02:13:37,133
Crateros. Good Crateros.
1426
02:13:37,975 --> 02:13:43,106
Who better than you to speak,
most noble of men.
1427
02:13:44,181 --> 02:13:48,049
But you know there's no part of me
without a scar or a bone broken.
1428
02:13:48,219 --> 02:13:54,021
By sword, knife, stone, catapult and club.
I've shared every hardship with all of you.
1429
02:13:54,191 --> 02:13:57,592
You have, my king,
and we love you for it.
1430
02:13:58,562 --> 02:14:02,157
But, by Zeus, too many have died.
1431
02:14:02,766 --> 02:14:06,293
You have no children, Alexander,
and we're just...
1432
02:14:06,470 --> 02:14:11,169
...humble men, we seek no disturbance
with the gods. All we wish for...
1433
02:14:11,342 --> 02:14:17,838
...is to see our children and our wives
and our grandchildren one last time...
1434
02:14:18,315 --> 02:14:22,115
...before we join our brothers
in that dark house they call Hades.
1435
02:14:26,056 --> 02:14:29,719
Yes. You're right, Crateros.
1436
02:14:29,894 --> 02:14:31,191
I have been negligent.
1437
02:14:33,364 --> 02:14:36,197
I should've sent you
veterans home sooner, and I will.
1438
02:14:36,367 --> 02:14:39,097
The first of you
shall be the Silver Shields.
1439
02:14:39,270 --> 02:14:44,333
Then every man who's served seven years.
With full pensions from our treasury.
1440
02:14:45,676 --> 02:14:49,305
And respected, rich, loved.
1441
02:14:49,480 --> 02:14:54,349
You'll be treated by your wives and children
as heroes for the rest of your lives...
1442
02:14:54,518 --> 02:14:58,716
...and enjoy a peaceful death.
1443
02:15:00,024 --> 02:15:02,151
But you dream, Crateros.
1444
02:15:02,893 --> 02:15:07,227
Your simplicity long ended when
you took Persian mistresses and children...
1445
02:15:07,398 --> 02:15:11,698
...and you thickened your holdings
with plunder and jewels.
1446
02:15:12,436 --> 02:15:17,772
Because you've fallen in love
with all the things in life that destroy men.
1447
02:15:18,776 --> 02:15:21,108
Do you not see?
1448
02:15:22,279 --> 02:15:25,544
And you, as well as I, know...
1449
02:15:25,716 --> 02:15:29,982
...that as the years decline
and the memories stale...
1450
02:15:30,154 --> 02:15:32,952
...and all your great victories fade...
1451
02:15:33,123 --> 02:15:38,789
...it will always be remembered,
you left your king in Asia!
1452
02:15:38,963 --> 02:15:41,625
For I will go on, with my Asians.
1453
02:15:45,135 --> 02:15:49,401
- To the jackals with you, then, Alexander.
- We come for you, and you discard us.
1454
02:15:49,573 --> 02:15:51,973
- Shame!
- We want to go home, Alexander.
1455
02:15:52,142 --> 02:15:53,871
We're tired of glory.
1456
02:15:54,044 --> 02:15:56,945
We want to see our wives
and children before we die.
1457
02:15:58,983 --> 02:16:01,042
I've got children I haven't even seen.
1458
02:16:04,855 --> 02:16:07,881
I want to see my children.
1459
02:16:08,058 --> 02:16:11,824
I paid for your bastard children.
I've taken nothing for myself.
1460
02:16:11,996 --> 02:16:15,227
And all I've asked of you
is one more month.
1461
02:16:18,102 --> 02:16:19,967
- Shame.
- That's your king.
1462
02:16:20,904 --> 02:16:22,496
What would your father say?
1463
02:16:22,673 --> 02:16:25,836
I've taken you further
than my father ever dreamed.
1464
02:16:26,010 --> 02:16:29,969
So go home. I look to the
barbarians for their courage.
1465
02:16:31,248 --> 02:16:32,840
I go east.
1466
02:16:33,017 --> 02:16:35,042
He wants us dead
so we can't speak of his crimes.
1467
02:16:35,219 --> 02:16:37,414
- Who said that?
- We won't make it to Macedonia.
1468
02:16:37,588 --> 02:16:39,385
You despicable coward. Come forth.
1469
02:16:39,556 --> 02:16:42,457
- Make your accusations public.
- So you can have us killed?
1470
02:16:42,626 --> 02:16:45,618
- Son of Zeus.
- You desecrate your real father's memory.
1471
02:16:45,796 --> 02:16:51,928
- Or did you murder him like you did Cleitus?
- Hide in this mob because I'll take your life.
1472
02:17:00,844 --> 02:17:05,611
You men insult my honor, my paternity.
Arrest him.
1473
02:17:05,783 --> 02:17:09,685
And him. Yes.
And you, this loudmouth Demetrius.
1474
02:17:09,853 --> 02:17:13,482
You call me murderer?
I have no such blood on my hands.
1475
02:17:13,657 --> 02:17:16,785
And him.
Yes, you'll know the pain of treason.
1476
02:17:17,995 --> 02:17:21,954
You mock my shame for Cleitus and say
I'd harm a hair of my father's head.
1477
02:17:22,700 --> 02:17:26,466
Arrest him.
After all I've done for you, you swine.
1478
02:17:26,637 --> 02:17:28,537
You cowards. Traitors.
1479
02:17:31,075 --> 02:17:33,475
Come on, then.
Where are your daggers?
1480
02:17:35,846 --> 02:17:40,374
He drove on, south to the outer ocean.
1481
02:17:42,052 --> 02:17:46,386
In smashing the mutiny
and executing the ringleaders...
1482
02:17:46,557 --> 02:17:51,688
...he did nothing, to my mind, that any
general in wartime would not have done.
1483
02:17:51,929 --> 02:17:55,330
But clearly, the army was divided.
1484
02:17:56,266 --> 02:18:00,703
And Alexander was no longer
loved by all.
1485
02:18:12,783 --> 02:18:14,717
Stay calm.
1486
02:18:15,052 --> 02:18:16,883
Together we are strong as gods.
1487
02:18:18,522 --> 02:18:23,118
Cover with your left,
strike hard with your right.
1488
02:18:26,964 --> 02:18:29,398
Fear is rot. A waste of time.
1489
02:18:35,439 --> 02:18:37,634
Lock shields.
1490
02:18:40,210 --> 02:18:42,371
Battle positions.
1491
02:18:44,281 --> 02:18:45,873
Move.
1492
02:18:52,055 --> 02:18:55,286
Choppers, prepare your knives.
1493
02:18:55,459 --> 02:18:57,222
Follow me.
1494
02:19:13,577 --> 02:19:17,013
Strike hard, boys. Strike hard.
1495
02:19:35,132 --> 02:19:39,694
Come, Macedonians.
Why do you hang back? Hurry.
1496
02:19:39,870 --> 02:19:42,100
Cavalry!
1497
02:19:50,647 --> 02:19:53,946
Split to thirds. Regroup and encircle.
1498
02:20:40,964 --> 02:20:46,266
- Oh, no. Cavalry on me.
- Follow Alexander.
1499
02:20:49,706 --> 02:20:53,437
Charge. Charge. Charge.
1500
02:20:56,680 --> 02:20:58,511
The phalanx is in jeopardy.
1501
02:20:58,682 --> 02:21:02,015
Meleager, ride to Pharnakes
and tell him return to the center.
1502
02:21:02,185 --> 02:21:06,019
Find Hephaistion at the riverbank
and bring all cavalry to the center.
1503
02:21:06,189 --> 02:21:09,352
We must reach Crateros
before it's too late.
1504
02:21:25,509 --> 02:21:28,706
Hephaistion. To the center.
1505
02:21:31,481 --> 02:21:33,813
Come, Macedonians. Ride.
1506
02:21:33,984 --> 02:21:36,418
Ride.
1507
02:22:19,296 --> 02:22:21,924
Coenus! Get out of there.
1508
02:22:23,100 --> 02:22:24,590
No.
1509
02:22:54,264 --> 02:22:57,131
- The horses won't go.
- On foot, then.
1510
02:23:03,640 --> 02:23:07,701
Fall back, men! Fall back!
1511
02:23:09,046 --> 02:23:10,638
Come, Bucephalus.
1512
02:23:19,256 --> 02:23:21,520
'Tis only sun and shadow.
1513
02:23:24,294 --> 02:23:27,092
You and I together,
one last time, Bucephalus.
1514
02:23:29,399 --> 02:23:32,664
Isn't it a lovely thing
to live with great courage...
1515
02:23:32,836 --> 02:23:35,600
...and to die leaving an everlasting fame?
1516
02:23:36,173 --> 02:23:39,609
Come, Macedonians.
Why do you retreat?
1517
02:23:39,776 --> 02:23:45,612
Do you want to live forever?
In the name of Zeus, attack.
1518
02:24:01,631 --> 02:24:03,895
Attack.
1519
02:24:04,835 --> 02:24:07,395
Alexander!
1520
02:24:18,281 --> 02:24:20,272
Alexander.
1521
02:25:53,043 --> 02:25:54,738
- The king is down!
- To the king!
1522
02:27:17,093 --> 02:27:23,589
It was the bloodiest of his battles.
Pure butchery, the end of all reason.
1523
02:27:27,537 --> 02:27:29,562
We'd never be men again.
1524
02:29:12,809 --> 02:29:16,438
He lives! Alexander!
1525
02:29:43,540 --> 02:29:45,804
Men of Macedon...
1526
02:29:46,509 --> 02:29:48,636
...we're going home.
1527
02:29:49,746 --> 02:29:52,146
- What?
- What?
1528
02:29:52,315 --> 02:29:54,010
- We're going home.
- Home?
1529
02:29:54,217 --> 02:29:56,344
We're going.
1530
02:30:00,957 --> 02:30:02,948
We're going home.
1531
02:31:07,924 --> 02:31:10,984
His life should have ended in India...
1532
02:31:12,161 --> 02:31:14,152
...but that's myth.
1533
02:31:15,865 --> 02:31:21,701
In life, Herakles died of a poisoned shirt,
given him in error by his jealous wife.
1534
02:31:25,341 --> 02:31:29,209
Making his devotions to the gods
at the end of the great journey...
1535
02:31:29,379 --> 02:31:34,248
...Alexander bade the East farewell
and marched his army directly west...
1536
02:31:34,417 --> 02:31:36,578
...across the great Gedrosian desert...
1537
02:31:36,786 --> 02:31:40,222
...seeking the shortest route home
to Babylon.
1538
02:31:41,457 --> 02:31:46,360
To this day, there is no accounting
of how many died.
1539
02:31:48,331 --> 02:31:52,097
It was the worst blunder of his life.
1540
02:31:52,268 --> 02:31:56,728
And when he finally reentered Babylon,
after six years in the Far East...
1541
02:31:56,906 --> 02:32:02,902
...Alexander again seized the imagination
of the world by taking two more wives.
1542
02:32:24,934 --> 02:32:27,903
- Just last night he was...
- It's the water, Your Majesty.
1543
02:32:28,071 --> 02:32:30,301
He mixed it with the wine.
1544
02:32:31,374 --> 02:32:33,001
But how can this be?
1545
02:32:33,176 --> 02:32:37,203
- Typhus of India?
- I wouldn't tax yourself, Your Majesty.
1546
02:32:37,380 --> 02:32:42,249
A few good nights' rest will do it.
But no wine or cold...
1547
02:32:43,386 --> 02:32:44,819
Come, doctor.
1548
02:32:53,396 --> 02:32:55,728
I feel better.
1549
02:32:56,366 --> 02:33:00,234
Soon, I'll be up.
1550
02:33:01,137 --> 02:33:05,073
We leave for Arabia in the spring,
and I couldn't leave without you.
1551
02:33:05,675 --> 02:33:08,075
Arabia.
1552
02:33:10,847 --> 02:33:16,149
You used to dress me up like a sheik...
1553
02:33:16,853 --> 02:33:18,753
...wave your wooden scimitar.
1554
02:33:18,921 --> 02:33:22,015
You were the only one
who'd never let me win.
1555
02:33:23,826 --> 02:33:26,852
The only one who's ever been
honest with me.
1556
02:33:27,330 --> 02:33:30,265
You saved me from myself.
1557
02:33:32,702 --> 02:33:35,865
Please don't leave me, Hephaistion.
1558
02:33:37,840 --> 02:33:40,274
My Alexander.
1559
02:33:41,844 --> 02:33:47,612
I remember the young man who wanted
to be Achilles and then outdid him.
1560
02:33:47,784 --> 02:33:52,118
And you, Patroclus.
And then what happened?
1561
02:33:52,288 --> 02:33:55,655
Ours is a myth only young men believe.
1562
02:33:56,259 --> 02:34:02,425
- But how beautiful a myth it was.
- We reach, we fall.
1563
02:34:03,666 --> 02:34:06,635
Oh, Hephaistion.
1564
02:34:12,275 --> 02:34:17,872
- I worry for you without me.
- I am nothing without you.
1565
02:34:18,815 --> 02:34:22,512
Come, fight, Hephaistion.
1566
02:34:22,819 --> 02:34:25,310
We will die together.
1567
02:34:26,989 --> 02:34:29,389
It's our destiny.
1568
02:34:32,628 --> 02:34:38,225
We'll have children with our wives, and
our sons will play together as we once did.
1569
02:34:39,268 --> 02:34:42,897
A thousand ships
we'll launch from here, Hephaistion.
1570
02:34:43,606 --> 02:34:48,339
We'll round Arabia
and sail up the gulf to Egypt.
1571
02:34:49,178 --> 02:34:53,672
From there, we'll build a channel through
the desert and out to the Middle Sea.
1572
02:34:53,850 --> 02:34:58,787
And then we'll move on Carthage. And that
great island, Sicily, they'll pay large tribute.
1573
02:34:58,955 --> 02:35:03,255
After that, the Roman tribe,
good fighters. We'll beat them.
1574
02:35:04,293 --> 02:35:06,818
And then explore the northern forests...
1575
02:35:06,996 --> 02:35:10,762
...and out the Pillars of Herakles
to the western ocean.
1576
02:35:12,001 --> 02:35:16,233
And then one day,
not 10 years from now...
1577
02:35:16,839 --> 02:35:21,572
...Babylon, with its deep-water harbor,
will be the center of the world.
1578
02:35:21,744 --> 02:35:26,875
Alexandrias will grow,
populations will mix and travel freely.
1579
02:35:27,049 --> 02:35:29,745
Asia and Europe will come together.
1580
02:35:31,554 --> 02:35:35,456
And we'll grow old, Hephaistion...
1581
02:35:36,159 --> 02:35:41,791
...looking out our balcony
at this new world.
1582
02:35:48,237 --> 02:35:50,637
Hephaistion?
1583
02:35:52,041 --> 02:35:54,407
Hephaistion?
1584
02:36:01,384 --> 02:36:06,014
- Where is this doctor?
- I can't explain this, Your Majesty.
1585
02:36:06,189 --> 02:36:10,592
- It's not possible. I swear by Apollo.
- Execute him!
1586
02:36:11,427 --> 02:36:14,919
Take him out now and execute him.
1587
02:36:15,097 --> 02:36:19,295
- Come away, come away.
- Liars. Liars. You all hated him. All of you.
1588
02:36:20,002 --> 02:36:23,631
Get out. Get out now!
1589
02:36:31,614 --> 02:36:34,105
Be gone.
1590
02:36:34,283 --> 02:36:39,220
Be gone with you.
Harpies. Get out. Get out.
1591
02:36:39,388 --> 02:36:41,219
Are you drunk again?
1592
02:36:41,390 --> 02:36:42,948
- Get out.
- He's dead.
1593
02:36:43,125 --> 02:36:45,889
- Who?
- Many hated him...
1594
02:36:46,062 --> 02:36:48,997
...but I don't think any other
would have dared.
1595
02:36:50,499 --> 02:36:52,558
Hephaistion is dead?
1596
02:36:56,505 --> 02:36:58,473
Are you mad?
1597
02:37:00,610 --> 02:37:02,134
You monster.
1598
02:37:03,346 --> 02:37:06,281
- Are you mad?
- You've taken from me all I've ever loved.
1599
02:37:06,449 --> 02:37:10,647
May all the Furies through time
damn your miserable heart. Obey me.
1600
02:37:11,721 --> 02:37:16,385
Alexander.
I have your child. Alexander.
1601
02:37:17,894 --> 02:37:20,692
- Alexander, we have a son.
- No.
1602
02:37:22,331 --> 02:37:24,856
- The child.
- Oh, Your Majesty, no.
1603
02:37:25,034 --> 02:37:31,439
Alexander, I have your child.
Alexander, my husband, my king.
1604
02:37:31,607 --> 02:37:34,041
We have a son.
1605
02:37:34,543 --> 02:37:37,910
My poor, poor, ill-fated son.
1606
02:37:39,582 --> 02:37:41,243
Never touch me again.
1607
02:37:44,654 --> 02:37:46,679
No!
1608
02:37:52,295 --> 02:37:55,093
One last toast!
1609
02:37:58,401 --> 02:38:00,301
Before the dawn.
1610
02:38:07,343 --> 02:38:10,506
To my old friends.
1611
02:38:27,430 --> 02:38:31,298
- And to the myths.
- To the myths.
1612
02:38:39,575 --> 02:38:41,907
Drink it down, Alexander.
1613
02:38:42,078 --> 02:38:44,171
Drink it down.
1614
02:38:58,594 --> 02:39:01,961
Yes, come on. Finish it.
1615
02:39:21,684 --> 02:39:23,811
To the next dawn.
1616
02:39:39,201 --> 02:39:41,533
Yes, come.
1617
02:39:41,704 --> 02:39:48,200
Come to Babylon. I await you.
Your only loving son.
1618
02:39:57,219 --> 02:40:00,416
Wait. Wait.
1619
02:40:01,257 --> 02:40:03,487
Vultures. Wait.
1620
02:40:03,659 --> 02:40:06,321
Your son, Alexander.
1621
02:40:06,495 --> 02:40:09,089
Just three more months.
1622
02:40:09,265 --> 02:40:13,201
Please live. Alexander.
1623
02:40:13,369 --> 02:40:17,999
Alexander, we beg you. Tell us who.
1624
02:40:18,174 --> 02:40:21,109
Who will rule this great empire
if you leave us?
1625
02:40:21,310 --> 02:40:24,404
- Fear not. We're at the beginning.
- You're a great man.
1626
02:40:25,581 --> 02:40:27,674
The myth becomes real.
1627
02:40:33,022 --> 02:40:35,456
Beyond Herakles.
1628
02:40:40,362 --> 02:40:44,025
When it's over, all that matters is
what you've done. I'll remember.
1629
02:40:44,200 --> 02:40:47,135
Zeus is your father.
1630
02:40:48,104 --> 02:40:50,402
Alexander, the army will divide.
1631
02:40:50,573 --> 02:40:53,440
Satrapies will revolt.
Without orders, there'll be war.
1632
02:40:53,609 --> 02:40:54,906
Who will it be?
1633
02:40:56,078 --> 02:40:58,603
Pray tell us, who?
1634
02:41:00,983 --> 02:41:03,645
- What did he say?
- "To the best."
1635
02:41:05,721 --> 02:41:08,087
- He said, "To the best."
- What?
1636
02:41:08,257 --> 02:41:10,589
- No, he said, "To Crateros."
- To Crateros?
1637
02:41:10,759 --> 02:41:12,420
Why would he say Crateros?
1638
02:42:13,923 --> 02:42:18,155
On the 10th of June,
a month short of his 33rd year...
1639
02:42:18,327 --> 02:42:22,764
...Alexander's great heart
finally gave out.
1640
02:42:22,932 --> 02:42:27,130
And as he vowed,
he joined Hephaistion.
1641
02:42:30,472 --> 02:42:33,168
But in his short life,
he achieved, without doubt...
1642
02:42:33,342 --> 02:42:38,746
...the mythic glory
of his ancestor Achilles and more.
1643
02:42:42,084 --> 02:42:44,712
His sacrifice was an early death...
1644
02:42:44,887 --> 02:42:47,219
...but in keeping
to his side of the bargain...
1645
02:42:47,389 --> 02:42:51,257
...I cannot help but feel
he conquered death as well.
1646
02:42:53,996 --> 02:42:56,897
Olympias' transgression
in the murder of his father...
1647
02:42:57,066 --> 02:42:59,830
...is, to my mind, a probability.
1648
02:43:00,002 --> 02:43:02,596
His, a burden.
1649
02:43:03,472 --> 02:43:07,841
Alexander was too in love with glory
for him to steal it.
1650
02:43:08,010 --> 02:43:13,642
But by blood, and blood alone,
he was guilty.
1651
02:43:16,452 --> 02:43:18,420
No!
1652
02:43:24,159 --> 02:43:26,423
- The body stays in Babylon.
- Within hours...
1653
02:43:26,595 --> 02:43:29,587
...we were fighting like jackals
for his corpse.
1654
02:43:29,765 --> 02:43:31,892
The wars of the world had begun.
1655
02:43:32,468 --> 02:43:34,527
Forty years, off and on, they endured.
1656
02:43:35,170 --> 02:43:39,539
Cassander in Greece.
Crateros and Antigonus in western Asia.
1657
02:43:39,708 --> 02:43:44,077
Solucas and Perdiccas in the East.
Myself in Egypt.
1658
02:43:44,246 --> 02:43:49,650
- Until we divided his empire in four parts.
- Gentlemen, we are not savages.
1659
02:43:49,818 --> 02:43:52,446
Cassander certainly proved
his will to power...
1660
02:43:52,621 --> 02:43:57,183
...when seven years later,
he had Olympias executed.
1661
02:43:57,993 --> 02:44:00,655
And within 12 years, he achieved...
1662
02:44:00,829 --> 02:44:03,764
...the complete destruction
of Alexander's bloodline...
1663
02:44:05,334 --> 02:44:07,234
...when he poisoned Roxane...
1664
02:44:07,403 --> 02:44:13,171
...and Alexander's 13-year-old son,
the true heir to the empire.
1665
02:44:15,978 --> 02:44:19,641
But the truth is never simple...
1666
02:44:20,516 --> 02:44:22,575
...and yet it is.
1667
02:44:23,052 --> 02:44:26,078
The truth is, we did kill him.
1668
02:44:29,692 --> 02:44:33,093
By silence, we consented.
1669
02:44:33,529 --> 02:44:35,497
Because...
1670
02:44:35,664 --> 02:44:38,189
Because we couldn't go on.
1671
02:44:38,367 --> 02:44:43,703
What, by Ares, did we look forward to
but to be discarded in the end, like Cleitus?
1672
02:44:43,872 --> 02:44:49,105
After all this time, to give away our wealth
to Asian sycophants we despised?
1673
02:44:49,278 --> 02:44:52,475
Mixing the races, harmony?
1674
02:44:53,482 --> 02:44:56,246
Oh, he talked of these things...
1675
02:44:56,418 --> 02:45:02,186
...but wasn't it really about Alexander
and another population ready to obey him?
1676
02:45:03,225 --> 02:45:06,160
I never believed in his dream.
1677
02:45:06,328 --> 02:45:08,455
None of us did.
1678
02:45:10,199 --> 02:45:12,463
That's the truth of his life.
1679
02:45:12,634 --> 02:45:15,228
The dreamers exhaust us.
1680
02:45:15,971 --> 02:45:20,135
They must die before they kill us
with their blasted dreams.
1681
02:45:21,510 --> 02:45:24,377
Oh, just throw all that away, Cadmos.
1682
02:45:24,546 --> 02:45:26,980
It's an old fool's rubbish.
1683
02:45:28,817 --> 02:45:34,221
You shall write, "He died of fever
and a weakened condition."
1684
02:45:35,023 --> 02:45:36,854
Yes, great Pharaoh.
1685
02:45:37,025 --> 02:45:40,927
Oh, he could've stayed home in Macedonia,
married, raised a family.
1686
02:45:42,164 --> 02:45:45,224
He'd have died a celebrated man.
1687
02:45:47,603 --> 02:45:50,367
But this was not Alexander.
1688
02:45:50,706 --> 02:45:56,611
All his life,
he fought to free himself from fear.
1689
02:45:56,779 --> 02:46:02,945
And by this, and this alone,
he was made free.
1690
02:46:04,353 --> 02:46:08,312
The freest man I've ever known.
1691
02:46:09,992 --> 02:46:14,986
His tragedy was one
of increasing loneliness...
1692
02:46:15,164 --> 02:46:18,895
...and impatience with those
who could not understand.
1693
02:46:19,234 --> 02:46:21,930
And if his desire...
1694
02:46:22,104 --> 02:46:27,007
...to reconcile Greek and barbarian
ended in failure...
1695
02:46:29,545 --> 02:46:32,673
What failure!
1696
02:46:32,948 --> 02:46:39,114
His failure towered
over other men's successes.
1697
02:46:43,759 --> 02:46:45,522
I've lived...
1698
02:46:45,727 --> 02:46:48,093
I've lived long life, Cadmos...
1699
02:46:48,263 --> 02:46:50,629
...but the glory
and the memory of man...
1700
02:46:50,799 --> 02:46:55,736
...will always belong to the ones
who follow their great visions.
1701
02:46:56,205 --> 02:47:01,438
And the greatest of these
is the one they now call...
1702
02:47:02,644 --> 02:47:06,546
...Megas Alexandros.
1703
02:47:07,983 --> 02:47:11,180
The greatest Alexander of them all.
