Rome, AD 30–31. Tiberius has retired to Capri. Sejanus consolidates his hold on power in Rome by engineering the banishment of Agrippina and her eldest son Nero and having her other son Drusus arrested and starved to death. Sejanus has divorced his wife and approaches Tiberius about marrying Livilla. Tiberius refuses as the marriage would mean Sejanus would be elevated in rank but suggests that he could marry Livilla's daughter Helen. An outraged Livilla attempts to poison Helen. Antonia discovers letters from her daughter to Sejanus, implicating them both in several deaths and urging Sejanus to murder Tiberius. Claudius smuggles the evidence to Tiberius. At Caligula's suggestion, Tiberius orders Macro, an officer of the Guard, to carry out the execution of Sejanus, his followers, and his family. Claudius barely escapes by divorcing his wife. Antonia locks Livilla in her room and sits outside the door until Livilla dies of starvation. Delighted by Caligula's perversity, Tiberius appoints him his heir.

00:30With the death of Livia, the last restraint on Tiberius was removed.
00:58He handed the running of the Empire over to Ser Janus and retired to Capri.
01:04A reign of terror began. No one was safe.
01:21Ser Janus arrested Agrippina, her eldest son Nero, and countless others besides.
01:27His ambition was limitless. He had divorced his wife...
01:36Apicata...
01:39...and become my sister's...
01:46...lover, hoping to marry her.
01:49My mother remained curiously innocent of much that was going on...
01:53...until one day Apicata came to visit her.
01:57Ser Janus had taken their children with him and Apicata wanted them back.
02:01She feared my sister would harm them once married to Ser Janus.
02:06Now she demanded that my mother speak to my sister and enlist her help.
02:10Will you speak to her?
02:14Will you ask her to persuade him to let me have them?
02:17To her they'll only be a nuisance. They'll come between him and her.
02:19I can understand that.
02:22But to me they are everything.
02:24Everything.
02:25Understand this.
02:27That though my daughter has lived in my house since the death of her husband we are not on friendly terms.
02:32I despise her though she is my daughter and I'll ask no favour of her.
02:36I despise that man I know to be her lover and you too I despise.
02:40For having married him knowing what he was.
02:43And now you complain because he treats you as you were once content to see him treat others.
02:46You disgust me all of you.
02:49You and people like you have made a sewer of Rome.
02:53Fit only for rats to live in.
02:55Honour, service, duty mean nothing anymore.
02:58For your children are everything to you and what of Rome.
03:01All you are you owe to Rome.
03:04But you destroyed it all of you with your greedy ambition and your petty selfishness.
03:08Well then enjoy what you have made of it but don't come crying to me.
03:11I didn't come here to talk of Rome but of my children.
03:18Rome can sink.
03:20I want my children.
03:22And if you won't help me freely then I must tell you something lady that may compel you.
03:30I told you I knew much and more besides.
03:34Well here it is.
03:36Your daughter's husband died no natural death.
03:39Castor was murdered by your daughter.
03:42Sir Janus supplied the poison but she fed it to him.
03:45Believe me that guilty pair are set upon a course that would lead them to a kingly crown.
03:50They'll settle for nothing less.
03:54If I go to Tiberius with this story.
03:57What then becomes of your precious family name?
04:02You're lying.
04:04No.
04:05What proof have you?
04:09Slaves that will talk freely or under torture of things seen and heard.
04:14Then why haven't you been to the Emperor before?
04:16Because Sir Janus has the sorting of his mail and the sifting of his visitors.
04:20You should know that.
04:22To get to Tiberius would cost me my life and that's my last resort.
04:25Oh yes he still reads people's wills when they leave everything to him.
04:29Not even Sir Janus can prevent that.
04:32And if need be that's the course I'll follow.
04:36Without my children my life is nothing.
04:42Think carefully Mark Antony's daughter.
04:46Guard your family name.
04:48Let the lovers have their crown.
04:50What is that to us?
04:52But get me back my children.
04:54Well.
04:55She certainly.
04:56Odds her children.
04:58Oh you fool.
05:00Is that all you can find to say?
05:02Well.
05:03What else do you propose me to say?
05:04Do you believe her?
05:05No.
05:06What a word of it.
05:07She's demented.
05:08Her blinds unhinged.
05:09The villa's done some pretty dreadful things in her time.
05:11But I can't believe she'd do that.
05:12What dreadful things?
05:13Oh.
05:14Things.
05:15Oh.
05:16Things.
05:17Oh.
05:18Things.
05:19Was she connived at the punishment of Posthumus?
05:20Oh well you know.
05:21No I didn't know.
05:22How?
05:23How?
05:24Oh.
05:25Oh.
05:26Oh.

05:48Oh.
05:49Oh.
05:50Why wasn't I told?
05:52Oh.
05:53Well.
05:54It was all a...
05:56A secret.
05:57I'm the only one that knows.
06:00I think...
06:01Livia paid her to it.
06:04Oh.
06:05Why was it a secret from me?
06:08And not from you?
06:14It's a...
06:15Long story mother.
06:18mother well what am I to do now we shall find someone else for you to marry stop
06:26blubbering child do you think the affairs of state must take account of
06:29your marriage plans what is it she's crying because she can't now get married
06:37to Nero I've told her we shall find someone else is that all you can think
06:42of Helen your own thwarted pleasures you do better to pray for his safety now
06:47leave us I want to talk to your mother she thinks of nothing but marriage and
06:54what do you think of what does that mean is it true you intend to marry Elias
07:02Sejanus you've been talking to someone is it true he's asked me to marry him yes
07:12and I've accepted why not I'm tired of living alone do you live alone I live here you see
07:20whether or not I live alone you live here but I don't keep track of your comings and goings
07:23I am still a young woman mother
07:28pastor died nearly five years ago you can't expect me to live like a vestal
07:34I'm not talking of whose bed you climb in and out of how and to whom you dispose of your body
07:39as your own affair but marriage is different do I need to remind you whose child you are I am in
07:47love with him mother and he with me he's using you I don't wish to discuss it further
07:55you're living in a fool's paradise if you think Tiberius will agree to it
08:01well if you marry him what will happen to his children what do I care about his children
08:09Apicata would like them to live with her I see you've been talking to Apicata she came to see me
08:18she would like you to persuade Sejanus to let her have the children back you wouldn't do that he's
08:23very fond of them you let her see them again when she wants to he stopped her seeing what is that to
08:28me I don't know perhaps one day it might be a great deal I must tell you I cannot allow you to
08:42marry La Villa I've read your letter very carefully and given it a great deal of thought but I'm afraid
08:49in the end the answer must be no may I know the reasons you're entitled to know them such a marriage
08:57would compel me to raise you to the most exalted rank you know I've never looked for that no I
09:01know that but I would have no choice do you suppose that La Villa once married to my son would be
09:06content to grow old as the wife of the gentleman outside the Senate well if you could ask her like
09:13all women her answer would be one thing before marriage and the other after her brother Germanicus
09:19and her father Drusus my brother both held the highest offices of state don't you think there'd be a
09:26faction in Rome that would demand the same for you I have always said I have no wish to rise above my
09:31present rank but there are some who say that you have risen above them even without Frank see in
09:39envying you they criticize me you say on the one hand I have too many friends and on the other I have
09:50too many enemies well is it untrue well if it is I made them in your service I know that I'm not
09:57complaining no I know but you're disappointed let me put another proposal to you one that would excite
10:04less comment since Nero's arrest his betrothal to La Villa's daughter must be considered at an end
10:13would you contemplate marriage with her
10:16with Helen why not such an alliance with my family would be much more acceptable to me
10:24well think about it now who is it that wishes to see me
10:29um I uh have the list here I've marked the ones I think you should see the rest of no consequence
10:38well those who marked I'll uh see tomorrow the rest you can send away well you can deal with your
10:46problems yourself and Agrippina I'll see her now
10:50I take it you have no wish to see Nero none
10:57oh Thrasilis was I wise to deny marriage with La Villa
11:05Thrasilis
11:09a wise excellency
11:12and to offer him her daughter instead
11:15he deserves it
11:17he's my right hand
11:18without him I'd be everybody's judge in Rome and the butt of everybody's hate
11:23as it is let him be the judge and him be the butt
11:27my dear
11:31you look like a Greek tragedy
11:34and you look like a Roman farce
11:37that tongue of yours has cost you dear and will cost you dearer
11:44you pitiful worm-eating old ruin
11:46it's not my tongue that cost me dear
11:48but the love that people have for me and my family
11:50and how you have used that love against me
11:55against you
11:57Germanicus could have led the armies of the Rhine against you
12:02but he was too noble
12:03they proclaimed him emperor when Augustus died
12:06but he said Rome already had an emperor
12:07more fool him
12:08every word you say makes my task easier
12:11oh don't pretend you ever found it hard to be vindictive
12:14that you always were
12:16but are you now so senile that you're blind to your own interests
12:19I'm not so senile that I'm blind to yours
12:22you're an old man Tiberius and you'll die soon
12:24where can you look for a successor except to the sons of Germanicus
12:28I have a grandson of my own
12:30Ravilla's boy
12:31Gemellus is a child
12:34Rome isn't Egypt
12:35children don't rule because their fathers ruled
12:38Rome must be governed by men
12:39not infants
12:40I'll make my own arrangements
12:41I'll make my own arrangements
12:41thank you
12:42you
12:45oh you think you'll make them
12:50but he'll make them
12:52Sir Jameis
12:54that black spider that sits on your shoulder
12:57squirting his poison in your ear
12:59you think you rule in Rome
13:02he rules in Rome
13:05and the moment the last of my boys is dead
13:10you'll know he rules in Rome
13:12my dear
13:13how pretty you look when you look angry
13:16it makes me sad to have to send you away
13:20but a queen must have a domain
13:23and I've chosen yours
13:25do you know where I went to send you?
13:28to the island of Panaderia
13:31where Julia
13:32your mother

13:37you will inherit her kingdom
13:41that's only just
13:44your greatest wish will be fulfilled
13:47you will be queen after all
13:50and as for Nero
13:51I'm sending him to Ponza
13:53an island even smaller than yours
13:56you will have to think
13:58how to govern these mighty empires
14:02if you're lonely
14:06I could come and call on you
14:10blood-soaked mud you've been called
14:21and that's what you are
14:22when we are fine
14:29the queen is flogging before she goes
14:36gentlemen
14:51if you will leave your names with my secretary

16:19thank you
16:20now go to your rooms
16:24we'll meet again at dinner
16:25did you ask him
16:31yes
16:33what did he say
16:34he
16:35refused
16:38refused but why
16:41he said you were too exalted for me
16:43well in a way you are
16:45but we must marry
16:48that's what we've planned
16:50what we waited for
16:53did he give any other reason
16:56he said you wouldn't be content that I remain in my present rank
17:00he said it would foster dangerous jealousies
17:03then you must try again later
17:07I don't think so
17:09I think
17:11we may have made a mistake in asking him
17:14I think it may have made him suspicious
17:17but he knows I have the right to marry again
17:19well if he won't give his permission
17:26we shall marry without it
17:28that might be dangerous
17:29then what are we to do
17:30I want to be married
17:33you promised me marriage
17:37have you changed your mind?
17:39no of course not
17:40does it suit you living the way we do?
17:44darling
17:44all that I have done
17:46I have done for one reason
17:47and that is to give us the right to be together
17:50and that old goat is not going to stop us
17:54he did suggest something else
17:56something else?
17:57he said
17:58he said that he wasn't opposed in principle
18:02to a marriage link with his family
18:04he suggested a marriage with your daughter
18:08you bastard
18:13you bastard
18:18I'll kill you

18:33you bastard
18:34you filthy bastard
18:36listen
18:41let's be practical
18:44don't touch me
18:46Helen means nothing to me
18:47but if Tiberius is agreeable to a marriage
18:49then why not?
18:50that solves our problem
18:50I will be linked with the imperial family
18:52you will live with us
18:55we'll be together
18:56and do you think Helen will agree to all this?
18:58Helen will do as she is told
18:59it will mean a break
19:00a break?
19:01not for long until the marriage
19:02so that people will think there is nothing between us
19:03but after that it will be as though the marriage had never happened
19:05and you'll service us both then will you
19:08like a stallion
19:09oh talk like that
19:10I love you
19:12and don't spoil it
19:15everything is going as we planned
19:16Agrippina and Nero have been banished
19:20they won't return
19:21I can promise you that
19:22I'm having documents prepared
19:25that will send Drusus the same way
19:26in a few weeks Tiberius will consent to his arrest
19:28then that only leaves Caligula to deal with
19:31when that happens Tiberius will have no one to turn to
19:33but me

19:37we have waited a long time

25:18you know my sister-in-law's been arrested
25:21oh Agrippina yes
25:22well that's been coming for some time
25:24you may thank your stars you're married to me
25:27that's brought you under my brother's protection
25:29so what are you doing in Rome
25:34oh I came up to use the polio library
25:37I've just finished the history of Arthage
25:39would you like a copy
25:41are you being funny
25:42oh mother
25:44Elia has just called to see us
25:47well I really came to see Levilla
25:49well I should have been surprised if you called to see my son
25:52well he makes no effort to see me either you know
25:55it's an arrangement that suits us both
25:59I'm sure it does
26:00I find life very strange today
26:03those who are married live apart
26:05and those who aren't live together
26:06it would seem for the good of Rome
26:07we should abolish marriage altogether
26:09well your ideas are too advanced for me
26:13well Levilla is waiting
26:16excuse me
26:20what does she want with Levilla
26:26well I don't know
26:28perhaps Jane has sent her
26:32to find out how Helen was
26:34am I to understand that man is now paying court to my granddaughter
26:38well he's had meetings with her
26:40he's not seeing Levilla anymore
26:42what is wrong with Helen
26:43the doctors don't seem to know
26:45well perhaps it's just one of those women's complaints
26:49oh don't be so ridiculous
26:51what do you know of women's complaints
26:53the girl's been in bed for a week
26:56I want you to give him this
27:01no one must see it
27:04and tell him to destroy it when he's read it
27:07how is Helen
27:09is she improving
27:11what exactly is wrong with her
27:15he's very anxious about her
27:16he'd do better to be anxious about me
27:18oh my dear
27:20his feelings for you are unchanged
27:22you must know that
27:24his marriage to Helen is a marriage of convenience
27:27he promised to marry me
27:29do you think I'm going to stand by
27:31and see him marry my daughter
27:33but if Tiberius
27:34oh Tiberius Tiberius
27:36Tiberius won't live forever
27:38your brother belongs to me
27:42tell him not to forget that
27:43he hasn't forgotten it
27:44he loves you
27:46he manages well enough without seeing me
27:49men are different
27:52it's driving me to despair
27:58I can't bear this separation
28:04but it's only for a little while
28:08and for appearance sake
28:12oh my dear sir
28:24so well
28:25so well
28:26we have already completed 12 copies
28:28it's going to be a wonderful edition
28:30have you ever seen such work
28:32look at this lettering
28:33oh have you ever seen anything like it
28:35very good
28:36but I don't like all this decoration
28:38it's par to ornate
28:39oh my dear sir
28:40this decoration
28:41is fashionable
28:42and if I may say so
28:43for a history of Carthage
28:44what could be more apt
28:45than elephants
28:46yeah but I didn't ask for elephants
28:47yes I know you didn't ask for elephants
28:50but knowing your superb good taste
28:53naturally I thought you'd agree
28:54well I don't
28:54I don't
28:55this isn't a serious work
28:57just because I've mentioned elephants into the text
28:59why do we have to see them
29:00but it's a motif
29:01well it's a tramp
29:03tell me a motif
29:04I've mentioned Hannibal's mistresses
29:06I suppose you've brought
29:07alcubines all over the text too
29:10well if you don't like elephants
29:12no I don't
29:13very well
29:14no more elephants
29:15elephants are out
29:16our esteemed client disapproves of elephants
29:19even your elephants
29:21which I may say
29:23are exquisitely drawn
29:24but if a client does not like elephants
29:27we shall force no elephants upon you
29:29you will rework the entire edition
29:32the copies won't be ready in time of course
29:34oh they need one copy today
29:35very well
29:37I'll take one with elephants
29:38are you quite sure
29:40yes I'm quite sure
29:41just get it for me
29:42ah my dear Asinius Gauss
29:45what a pleasure to see you
29:47one history of Carthage
29:49with elephants
29:49our work for you is on time
29:51your copies will be ready in seven days
29:53good
29:54now Claudius
29:55what's this about a history of Carthage
29:57yes I'm having one copied
29:58without elephants
29:59I'll send you a copy
30:01did you read my essay on
30:03Pollio and Cicero
30:04yes
30:05I didn't quite agree with it
30:07ah
30:08well walk with me to the senate
30:10and tell me why not
30:11goodbye Atticus
30:12you will erase all trace of elephants
30:17leaving only the bare text
30:20ah what a feast for his readers
30:25unless I heard Pollio speak many times
30:28he was a great auditor
30:29but he was no comparison with Cicero
30:31well then I have to say I think he's a fool
30:33Cicero's speeches were pompous and contrived
30:35and he thought far too much of himself
30:36and they must have sounded worse than they read
30:39Cicero's Gallus
30:40Lucius the Cicero's Gallus
30:51I have a warrant signed by the emperor for your arrest
30:53my arrest on what grounds?
30:57I'm inciting enmity between the emperor
30:59and the commander of his guard
31:00Lucius Elias the Janus
31:02is this a joke?
31:05no joke
31:06better hurry with your history of Carthage Claudius
31:12there will soon be no one left to read it
31:14sign it
31:21what is it?
31:23a confession
31:24to what?
31:27your conspiracy with Drusus
31:28to subvert the armies of the Rhine
31:30sign it
31:31you wrote it
31:34you sign it
31:35sign it
31:56you will before we finish with you
31:58I'll sign nothing for you to produce after I'm dead
32:01bring me to trial or murder me and take the consequences
32:04there'll be no trial
32:05I have no need of a trial to prove your guilt
32:07a song sung by every small town corrupt policeman
32:10which is what you are
32:12and what you should have stayed
32:15I've watched your career with fascination Sir Jades
32:18it's been a revelation to me
32:20I've never fully realized before how a small mind allied to unlimited ambition and without scruple can destroy a country full of clever men
32:29I've seen how frail is the structure of a civilization before the onslaught of a gust of really bad breath
32:36yes
32:42but I suppose you're not really the destroyer
32:47we must look elsewhere for that
32:50you're merely the
32:52the putrefaction
32:54that spreads after death
32:57the outward invisible sign of its presence
33:00you're a lesson in history
33:22to me Sir Janus
33:24proving
33:26that above all
33:28mankind needs
33:31its sense
33:33of smell
33:36bring him round
33:47we'll start again
33:49they've arrested
33:58as silly as
33:59callous
34:00on the steps of the
34:01I was there when it happened
34:03read it
34:03why
34:04what is it
34:05what are they
34:05hmm
34:06I don't understand
34:08it's the villa's writing
34:10read them
34:11they've poisoned
34:22castor
34:22both of them
34:24apicata was right
34:26with his help my daughter murdered her husband
34:29she reminds him of it
34:30there
34:31and now she urges him to waste no more time but assassinate Tiberius and take over the state
34:36it'll be easy she says
34:38every guard owes allegiance to him
34:39what are these
34:41isn't it obvious
34:43drafts of the letter she wrote him
34:45oh I can see how difficult it would be to write
34:47how she crawls and grovels to him
34:50how did who find them
34:53a slave was clearing out her room
34:56he was taking it all to the furnace
34:57perfectly good paper most of it
34:59hardly written on
35:00oh I thank the gods for my habits of thrift
35:07oh he's wicked
35:08but she's worse
35:09she is monstrous monstrous
35:12and I gave her birth
35:13she's poisoning Helen
35:19oh mother
35:21she's poisoning her I tell you
35:23slowly bit by bit she is poisoning her
35:26she's obsessed with that man and she will stop at nothing to get him
35:30oh
35:31what shall we do
35:33Tiberius must be told
35:35do you want people to know that your own daughter
35:39anyway nobody sees Tiberius or writes to him without going through Sir Janus
35:44what's that thing you're writing
35:45thing
35:47what do you mean by history of garbage
35:49yes is it finished
35:50oh yes
35:51I was having it copied
35:53I just brought one copy home
35:54would you like to read it
35:57no I tell you what you must do
35:58you must go to Sir Janus
36:01and ask permission to visit Tiberius at Capri
36:04tell him you want to ask Tiberius consent to dedicate the work to him
36:10Sir Janus will allow it I'm sure
36:13he's nothing but contempt for you anyway
36:14he'll suspect nothing
36:15oh thank you
36:16those pieces of paper must be posted in a scroll
36:19together with a letter of mine
36:21and you will tell Tiberius to
36:23open that one first
36:25well I suppose I could but I didn't want to give him this copy
36:30it's got elephants drawn all over it
36:32you were the biggest fool any mother was ever punished with
36:39who cares about your stupid history
36:40nobody is going to read it anyway
36:42and certainly not Tiberius
36:43the only way you would get him to read it
36:44is if you drew naked women all over it
36:46then he'd only look at the pictures
36:47Uncle Claudius
37:01what's in this scroll you know what's in this scroll your mother's a very noble woman
37:25what's happened
37:26her uncle has brought me evidence
37:29my son was poisoned by his wife
37:33Aunt Lovilla
37:35I always knew that woman was no good
37:39she poisoned him with the help of Sir Janus
37:42now they plot to assassinate me
37:46people really are despicable
37:50the point is
37:53how to arrest him
37:56he controls the guard
37:594,000 of them
38:03all loyal to him
38:07not to me
38:10his loyal servants not mine
38:12Castor warned me
38:17I wouldn't listen to him
38:21is there
38:24no one among them you can trust
38:27no
38:28man of integrity
38:31not that I know of
38:34isn't that a terrible comment on our times uncle
38:38on the other hand
38:41if you can't find a man of integrity
38:45I always say
38:46look for a man with ambition
38:47find a dog who'll eat a dog
38:50do you know of such a person
38:53yes I do
38:55Sertorius Macro
38:57Sir Janus second in command
38:58he's very popular with the troops
39:00he arrested Alice
39:03isn't he loyal to Sir Janus
39:05oh yes of course
39:07but he can't move up
39:08while Sir Janus is still there
39:09can he
39:09and he is very ambitious
39:12do you know him personally
39:16no but I've slept with his wife several times
39:19and his deception with the wife
39:22regarded these days
39:23as a sound introduction to the husband
39:25he knows about that
39:27told you
39:28he's ambitious
39:30I shall make you my successor
39:38Gaius Caligula
39:40I've decided
39:42you shall stay here with me
39:45Rome deserves you
39:48I will nurse you
39:50like a viper in her bosom
39:51is that a joke uncle
39:53not yet
39:54but it will be
39:56Sir Janus must be put off his guard
39:59he must suspect nothing
40:02I know
40:05I'll tell him I'm going to Rome
40:07I'll ask him to meet me on the Senate steps
40:10where he will hear something
40:12that will surprise him
40:13what about his friends
40:14he has a lot of friends
40:17you and I will draw up a list
40:21during dinner
40:23a long list
40:27the city will be purged
40:30as surely as if she had gorged herself on things for a year
40:36I will open Rome's bowels
40:39the streets will run like a sewer
40:42Ilse Janus
40:49Makra why are you here
40:51the emperor sent me
40:52with a message for the Senate
40:54where is the emperor
40:55waiting outside the city
40:57why did he not send for me
41:11I can hardly ask you to deliver this
41:15I believe it contains his request
41:18that you be made protector of the city
41:19doesn't that mean his successor
41:21then you had better deliver it
41:29I'll see that you get my command
41:39where's the mother gone inside
41:47why doesn't he wait for the emperor
41:49because he's obviously not coming
41:51he never comes
41:52it's a shame
41:53he may as well go home then
41:55come with the guard
41:59recognize the seal
42:05the emperor, sir
42:06read it
42:07take your guard back to the barrack

42:24forward
42:37change
42:46forward
42:52from the emperor Tiberius
43:09to the Senate of Rome
43:09greetings
43:10this letter is to bring to your attention
43:12a man who has for many years
43:14been my main support in the government of Rome
43:16I refer to Lucius Elias Sejanus
43:19commander of my guard
43:20though not of senatorial rank
43:24the very highest honors have been showered on him
43:26as a reward for the trust I have placed in him
43:28senators
43:31what blow is harder to bear than a trust betrayed
43:34incontrovertible proof has been placed in my hands of a conspiracy
43:38to assassinate your emperor and take over the state
43:42that conspiracy has been hatched and led by none other than the man in whom I put all my trust
43:48Lucius Elias Sejanus
43:50such is the advanced state of this plot to seize power
43:55that I your emperor
43:57am marooned outside the city
43:58and dare not enter without certain assurances
44:02what sir
44:10Sejanus has fallen
44:12he's to be arrested
44:13come on
44:14move out of my way
44:15and let me pass
44:15to safeguard yourselves and your emperor
44:18to safeguard the senate and the people of Rome
44:20I demand the arrest of Lucius Elias Sejanus
44:24and all those connected with him
44:25signed
44:27Tiberius Claudius Nero
44:28Drusus Caesar
44:29I ask the question
44:32shall the senate follow the emperor's advice?
44:35Aye
44:36you
44:41get closer
44:53you
44:54you
45:01you
45:01you
45:04I can't do it.
45:32I can't do it.
45:33I can't just kill them.
45:34They're underage.
45:36We're on the list.
45:36Now get on with it.
45:40The girl is a virgin.
45:41It's unprecedented to kill a virgin.
45:44It will bring bad luck to the city.
45:47Well, make sure she's not a virgin before you kill her.
45:49Now get on with it.
45:50I can't do it.
46:02Marco, what have they done with the children?
46:05They've gone on ahead of you, I feel.
46:07Like a good many others.
46:11Take him.
46:11Let me out!
46:23Let me out!
46:37Let me out!
46:39Let me out!
46:44Let me out!
46:46Let me out!
46:47What are you doing?
46:59What are you going to do with her?
47:01For heaven's sake, let her out!
47:06How long are you going to leave her in there?
47:08Until she dies.
47:10Dies?
47:12Dies?
47:14Have you come on mad?
47:16She's your daughter.
47:17How can you leave her to die?
47:18That's her punishment.
47:20How can you prepare to sit out here and listen to her?
47:23And that's mine.
47:25Leave me, Claudius.
47:26I shan't move from here until they open that door and find her dead.
47:31Leave me.
47:32Leave me.
47:47Claudius!
47:49Claudius!
47:51Oh, Claudius!
47:56Claudius, help me, Claudius.
47:58Help me.
47:58They're killing everyone.
47:59Everyone.
48:01Everyone who is a friend of his or a relative.
48:03Claudius, don't let them take me.
48:05Save me, Claudius.
48:07Save me.
48:08I'll do anything.
48:09Anything, Claudius.
48:10Let me hide here.
48:11Let me hide.
48:13I'm your wife.
48:14You must protect me.
48:18Executions are taking place all over the city.
48:20They said it straps a stone with body.
48:22They've even murdered his children.
48:25Children?
48:26They raped the little girl before they killed her.
48:29And they dressed the boy up in his manly gown.
48:32And the guards have killed the sandwiches all they did for the body.
48:37Help me, you are finished.
48:42Finished.
48:44You are despicable.
48:47Oh, Claudius.
48:49Please, Claudius.
48:51Help me.
48:51Help me.
48:52Get down, you five-pack.
48:54No!
48:54No, Claudius!
48:56No!
48:57No!
48:58No!
48:59I never want to see you.
49:00Oh, Claudius!
49:02I never want to see you.
49:03I never want to see you.
49:04I never want to see you.
49:05I never want to see you.

49:22I never want to see you.
49:23I never want to see you.
49:24I never want to see you.
49:25I never want to see you.
49:26my alliance by marriage with Sir Janus family might have cost me mother's son
49:48I was now allowed to divorce Elia and to return an eighth part of her dowry
49:55as a matter of fact I determined it all she must have thought me a fool
50:25I was now allowed to divorce Elia and to return an eighth part of her daughter
50:32I was now allowed to divorce Elia and to return an eighth part of her daughter
50:39at the end of her daughter
50:44is under the name of Elia and to return an eighth part of her daughter
50:48to return an eighth part of her daughter
50:51and I would wait for her daughter
50:55to return an eighth part of her daughter
