00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:25,It is men who endure toil and dare
dangers that achieve glorious deeds.

00:00:25,858 --> 00:00:28,And it is a lovely thing
to live with courage,

00:00:28,256 --> 00:00:31,and to die leaving behind
an everlasting renown.

00:02:11,385 --> 00:02:15,War! This is what Demosthenes
calls for, war!

00:02:18,685 --> 00:02:22,- Aeschenes puts words in my mouth.
- If you mean truth, I put it there.

00:02:22,856 --> 00:02:26,I know of no other way
for it to come from your mouth!

00:02:28,278 --> 00:02:30,Your audience performs well today.

00:02:30,469 --> 00:02:35,Philip's money is well spent. The words
I used were "arms" and "money".

00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:38,I quarrel with the words you did not use:
"Men" and "blood".

00:02:38,393 --> 00:02:41,If these words must be used...
yes, men and blood.

00:02:42,043 --> 00:02:43,Athenian men and Athenian blood?

00:02:43,921 --> 00:02:46,To save Athens,
whose blood should be shed?

00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,- To save Athens, not Olynthus!
- And if Olynthus falls to the barbarian,

00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:53,what stands between
Athens and destruction?

00:02:53,931 --> 00:02:57,- Peace!
- Move for peace and I'll support you.

00:02:58,103 --> 00:03:01,Men of Athens,
are there still madmen among you...?

00:03:01,751 --> 00:03:06,Who wish to live?
I'm mad. I'm stark, raving mad.

00:03:11,659 --> 00:03:16,Are there sane men among you
who still think that we have the power

00:03:16,246 --> 00:03:18,to debate the question of war or peace?

00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,Who will fight? You or us?

00:03:21,877 --> 00:03:26,Why do you speak thus? For love
of country or love of Philip's gold?

00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:29,No! No! No!

00:03:29,385 --> 00:03:34,Philip has been at war with us ever since
he razed the first Greek city to the ground.

00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:39,And as each Greek city fell,
Philip, too, kept proclaiming peace.

00:03:39,917 --> 00:03:41,And, to our eternal shame,

00:03:42,003 --> 00:03:46,we stood by and never once
cried out against his barbaric acts.

00:03:47,738 --> 00:03:53,Are you blind that you cannot see that
this is the plan for Philip's conquest...

00:03:53,369 --> 00:03:58,to extend his rule city by city,
state by state,

00:03:58,166 --> 00:04:01,by bribery, treachery, force of arms?

00:04:14,016 --> 00:04:17,- Yes?
- From Macedonia. Message for the king.

00:04:18,396 --> 00:04:20,Philip.

00:04:21,941 --> 00:04:25,Philip, wake up.
There's a messenger from Macedonia.

00:04:26,529 --> 00:04:29,Ah, such dreams I had.

00:04:30,596 --> 00:04:34,Such strange and troubled drunken dreams.

00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:36,A messenger...?

00:04:36,957 --> 00:04:40,- What news do you bring? Good or bad?
- You have a son.

00:04:41,337 --> 00:04:44,- A son?
- Born to the queen three weeks ago.

00:04:45,299 --> 00:04:47,- I have a son.
- Alexander.

00:04:47,593 --> 00:04:51,- That's the name the queen gave him.
- Alexander. And the queen?

00:04:51,869 --> 00:04:54,- She sends you greetings.
- Greetings?

00:04:54,684 --> 00:04:56,"To Philip. Hail and rejoice."

00:04:56,874 --> 00:05:01,"On this day to Olympias,
your queen and wife, a god was born."

00:05:04,799 --> 00:05:07,- A god?
- Those were the queen's words.

00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:11,What mother in Greece has not dreamed
that her first-born was a god?

00:06:27,283 --> 00:06:29,Hail, Philip, conqueror.

00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:34,Hail, Egyptian.

00:06:36,459 --> 00:06:38,I want to see my son.

00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:46,Looks like you... the hair, the eyes.

00:06:46,470 --> 00:06:48,Even his beard!

00:06:49,076 --> 00:06:51,You named him well: Alexander.

00:06:52,726 --> 00:06:54,Alexander of Macedonia.

00:06:55,646 --> 00:06:57,Alexander of Greece.

00:06:59,191 --> 00:07:01,Little lion.

00:07:01,798 --> 00:07:03,Little god.

00:07:07,325 --> 00:07:09,I say, uh...

00:07:10,453 --> 00:07:12,I've heard that legend.

00:07:13,060 --> 00:07:15,There were signs
of greatness at his birth.

00:07:15,771 --> 00:07:20,Quakes and storms shook the earth,
and in the skies a star fell.

00:07:20,255 --> 00:07:23,And two eagles perched upon
the roof of the queen's chamber.

00:07:24,322 --> 00:07:26,And in far off Asia,

00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:30,the Temple of Ephesus was struck
by lightning and burnt to the ground.

00:07:30,683 --> 00:07:33,How did you read these signs, soothsayer?

00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:37,The two eagles...
that he was born to rule two worlds.

00:07:38,191 --> 00:07:39,The burning of the temple...

00:07:39,964 --> 00:07:45,that a torch was kindled that day that
would one day consume all the world,

00:07:45,907 --> 00:07:48,and this torch, your son.

00:07:52,998 --> 00:07:55,And the falling of the star?

00:07:55,813 --> 00:07:59,That a god was born to me... of a god.

00:07:59,776 --> 00:08:03,There were other signs
and portents of divinity.

00:08:03,217 --> 00:08:05,Before his birth, the queen had a dream.

00:08:06,971 --> 00:08:09,I had a dream, too, soothsayer.

00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:13,One night on the battlefield
of Olynthus I had a dream.

00:08:13,645 --> 00:08:16,I dreamed of death.

00:08:18,025 --> 00:08:21,And when I awoke,
I didn't know whose death it was.

00:08:22,196 --> 00:08:23,We want Philip!

00:08:24,073 --> 00:08:26,- Foretell it to me.
- Those shouts are for you.

00:08:26,993 --> 00:08:31,The people have been waiting for hours
to see the king and his son.

00:08:59,319 --> 00:09:03,- And if you kill him, what?
- Pleasure, bloody pleasure.

00:09:03,281 --> 00:09:06,- And if you're wrong?
- An Egyptian soothsayer dies.

00:09:06,618 --> 00:09:10,- And king Philip says to the world...?
- That he is also a man.

00:09:10,372 --> 00:09:16,A madman! And if you are, play the role
and also kill her and the boy.

00:09:20,904 --> 00:09:22,Kill her?

00:09:25,180 --> 00:09:27,- And the boy?
- Why not?

00:09:27,682 --> 00:09:31,Isn't it the ancient law
of the wild Macedonian chiefs?

00:09:31,227 --> 00:09:33,You knew her when you married...
proud and jealous,

00:09:34,147 --> 00:09:38,as wild as the mountains from which
she came and the gods she worshipped.

00:09:38,736 --> 00:09:44,What she thinks I don't know, but this I do
know: She's a woman and she taunts you.

00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:46,Taunts me?

00:09:47,912 --> 00:09:50,Tears me.

00:09:51,666 --> 00:09:53,And what do you believe, Parmenio?

00:09:54,064 --> 00:09:56,Even the oracle at Delphi
proclaims his divinity.

00:09:56,776 --> 00:10:00,- I've bought shrines and burned them.
- I accept the will of the gods.

00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:02,And what do you believe?

00:10:02,928 --> 00:10:06,I believe in the glory of Macedonia,
in the kingdom.

00:10:06,787 --> 00:10:09,In the army,
forged with your will and your strength

00:10:09,602 --> 00:10:14,and your belief that we were stronger and
more fit to rule than anyone in Greece,

00:10:14,398 --> 00:10:16,even in Athens.

00:10:17,006 --> 00:10:19,And you're right, Philip. We are.

00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:23,We must proclaim to the world
that Macedonia will not fall apart,

00:10:23,367 --> 00:10:27,that she will continue to rule
through you and through your son.

00:10:28,893 --> 00:10:32,And then, Philip,
we shall have truly lived.

00:10:32,438 --> 00:10:34,Go to her.

00:10:34,211 --> 00:10:38,You loved her once. At least
you can live in peace with her.

00:10:38,278 --> 00:10:41,Accept the boy. He's yours.

00:10:42,032 --> 00:10:44,And give them what they want.

00:10:51,834 --> 00:10:53,Alexander.

00:10:55,275 --> 00:10:57,Alexander.

00:10:58,403 --> 00:11:01,Achilles, too, was born of a god.

00:11:01,844 --> 00:11:07,And at his birth it was foretold
that he would be greater than his father.

00:11:08,101 --> 00:11:10,And he was.

00:11:11,855 --> 00:11:15,And this destiny shall be yours,
too, Alexander.

00:11:16,235 --> 00:11:18,Al...

00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:28,They want to see the prince...

00:11:30,208 --> 00:11:32,and the queen.

00:12:45,392 --> 00:12:48,- Greetings, Aristotle.
- Greetings, Alexander.

00:12:48,729 --> 00:12:51,- Whose kill?
- His. Alone, on foot.

00:12:51,857 --> 00:12:55,You should have seen it. It was like
a duel to decide which of them was king.

00:12:55,819 --> 00:12:59,That duel need never have been fought.

00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:01,Cleitus is back.

00:13:02,077 --> 00:13:03,Cleitus?

00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:09,Cleitus. Black Cleitus!

00:13:09,792 --> 00:13:11,- King.
- Companion.

00:13:11,461 --> 00:13:14,Lucky Cleitus, to be the only one
amongst us chosen to go to war....
