Helen of Troy (Part 11)

  • 0:01 - 0:06
    - King, Menelaus pleads with
    you to return his wife.
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    For what purpose, you ask?
  • 0:10 - 0:17
    For the only purpose that
    can account for such fervor.
  • 0:17 - 0:24
    Love.
    Only that.
  • 0:32 - 0:40
    - King Odysseus,
    you have spoken well and wisely.
  • 0:40 - 0:48
    You shall have our answer
    before sunrise.
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    Leave us.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    - I asked to be returned.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    - Is that what you want?
  • 1:27 - 1:32
    - It is my duty.
  • 1:32 - 1:35
    - I have two questions.
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    Do you love my son?
  • 1:38 - 1:43
    - With all my heart.
  • 1:43 - 1:51
    - If I send you back,
    it'd stop this war.
  • 1:51 - 1:57
    Why not?
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    - I know him.
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    - Menelaus?
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    - The other.
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    - Bring me Achilles.
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    - The main fleet lands here.
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    Agamemnon and I, here.
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    We scale the cliffs to a plain
    that leads to the marketplace
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    below the city,
    up a staircase,
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    through an arch in front
    of the city gates.
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    The moment we attack,
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    the merchants will
    retreat to the city.
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    - And their weakness
    and compassion
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    will keep the gates open.
  • 2:46 - 2:47
    - Menelaus, take the beach.
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    We will pass through
    the market in disguise.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    - A short life full of glory.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    Isn't what what you wished?
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    May the gods smile
    on our destiny.
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    - I agree with the elders.
  • 2:59 - 3:01
    We'll have no doubt that
    the the High King of Mycenae
  • 3:01 - 3:06
    comes to Troy for the
    purpose of making war.
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    We are also aware of speculation
    that he has sacrificed
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    his daughter Iphigeneia
    for the purpose of securing
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    a favorable wind.
  • 3:16 - 3:20
    This is not the conduct
    of a man of peace.
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    We also agree that
    to sacrifice your honor,
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    or even your life,
    will not appease his desire,
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    or make peace more likely.
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    For these reasons,
  • 3:32 - 3:38
    we invite you to consider
    this city to be your home
  • 3:38 - 3:40
    for as long as you shall live.
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    Furthermore, should you choose
    to renounce any further
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    affiliation with Sparta,
  • 3:46 - 3:52
    you shall henceforth be
    known as Helen of Troy.
  • 3:56 - 4:01
    Do you accept this offer?
  • 4:01 - 4:03
    - I accept.
  • 4:03 - 4:08
    [ music ]
  • 5:10 - 5:16
    - It appears they will keep her.
  • 5:22 - 5:24
    To Troy!
  • 5:24 - 5:27
    [ crowd cheering ]
  • 7:40 - 7:43
    - We need to move
    the barriers down.
  • 7:43 - 7:47
    Do it. Now!
  • 7:47 - 7:51
    [ indistinct conversations ]
  • 7:56 - 7:57
    - Quickly.
  • 7:57 - 7:58
    - Don't.
  • 7:58 - 8:00
    - Gather up the women.
  • 8:00 - 8:04
    [ yelling ]
  • 8:09 - 8:12
    - On to Troy!
  • 8:12 - 8:17
    [ yelling ]
  • 9:21 - 9:23
    - Move away!
  • 9:23 - 9:26
    - Those are soldiers.
    Alert the guards.
  • 9:26 - 9:31
    [ indistinct chattering ]
  • 9:31 - 9:33
    - The brothel is upon us,
    Pirithous.
  • 9:33 - 9:37
    You and your golden Aphrodite.
  • 9:37 - 9:43
    [ music ]
  • 9:53 - 9:55
    - Onward!
  • 9:55 - 9:58
    [ yelling ]
