+1
+00:00:00,318 --> 00:00:03,843
+When the boy was born...
+
+2
+00:01:11,721 --> 00:01:13,814
+...like all Spartans, he was inspected.
+
+3
+00:01:15,625 --> 00:01:20,255
+If he'd been small or puny
+or sickly or misshapen...
+
+4
+00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:22,762
+...he would have been discarded.
+
+5
+00:01:29,873 --> 00:01:35,573
+From the time he could stand,
+he was baptized in the fire of combat.
+
+6
+00:01:57,634 --> 00:02:01,297
+Taught never to retreat,
+never to surrender.
+
+7
+00:02:01,471 --> 00:02:06,340
+Taught that death on the battlefield
+in service to Sparta...
+
+8
+00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:09,842
+...was the greatest glory
+he could achieve in his life.
+
+9
+00:02:24,994 --> 00:02:29,522
+At age 7,
+as is customary in Sparta...
+
+10
+00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:34,864
+...the boy was taken from his mother
+and plunged into a world of violence.
+
+11
+00:02:35,672 --> 00:02:40,200
+Manufactured by 300 years
+of Spartan warrior society...
+
+12
+00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:45,544
+...to create the finest soldiers
+the world has ever known.
+
+13
+00:02:45,715 --> 00:02:50,277
+The agoge, as it's called,
+forces the boy to fight.
+
+14
+00:02:50,453 --> 00:02:54,082
+Starves them,
+forces them to steal...
+
+15
+00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:58,626
+...and if necessary, to kill.
+
+16
+00:02:59,696 --> 00:03:02,688
+By rod and lash
+the boy was punished...
+
+17
+00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:06,165
+...taught to show no pain,
+no mercy.
+
+18
+00:03:07,871 --> 00:03:11,363
+Constantly tested,
+tossed into the wild.
+
+19
+00:03:11,541 --> 00:03:16,843
+Left to pit his wits and will
+against nature's fury.
+
+20
+00:03:17,213 --> 00:03:19,408
+It was his initiation...
+
+21
+00:03:19,582 --> 00:03:22,142
+...his time in the wild...
+
+22
+00:03:22,318 --> 00:03:26,812
+...for he would return
+to his people a Spartan...
+
+23
+00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:29,117
+...or not at all.
+
+24
+00:03:51,447 --> 00:03:54,314
+The wolf begins to circle the boy.
+
+25
+00:03:54,484 --> 00:03:56,918
+Claws of black steel...
+
+26
+00:03:57,086 --> 00:03:59,316
+...fur as dark night.
+
+27
+00:03:59,822 --> 00:04:01,153
+Eyes glowing red...
+
+28
+00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:05,260
+...jewels from
+the pit of hell itself.
+
+29
+00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,996
+The giant wolf sniffing...
+
+30
+00:04:18,174 --> 00:04:21,234
+...savoring the scent
+of the meal to come.
+
+31
+00:04:45,401 --> 00:04:46,925
+It's not fear that grips him...
+
+32
+00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:50,700
+...only a heightened
+sense of things.
+
+33
+00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,407
+The cold air in his lungs.
+
+34
+00:04:54,978 --> 00:04:58,311
+Windswept pines
+moving against the coming night.
+
+35
+00:05:06,322 --> 00:05:08,722
+His hands are steady.
+
+36
+00:05:08,891 --> 00:05:11,155
+His form...
+
+37
+00:05:11,327 --> 00:05:13,420
+...perfect.
+
+38
+00:05:39,222 --> 00:05:41,952
+And so the boy,
+given up for dead...
+
+39
+00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:46,858
+...returns to his people,
+to sacred Sparta, a king!
+
+40
+00:05:47,296 --> 00:05:51,027
+Our king, Leonidas!
+
+41
+00:05:56,939 --> 00:06:00,705
+It's been more than 30 years
+since the wolf and the winter cold.
+
+42
+00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:06,411
+And now, as then, a beast approaches.
+
+43
+00:06:06,582 --> 00:06:11,519
+Patient and confident,
+savoring the meal to come.
+
+44
+00:06:12,155 --> 00:06:15,454
+But this beast
+is made of men and horses...
+
+45
+00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,423
+...swords and spears.
+
+46
+00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:23,588
+An army of slaves, vast beyond imagining,
+ready to devour tiny Greece.
+
+47
+00:06:23,933 --> 00:06:28,700
+Ready to snuff out the world's
+one hope for reason and justice.
+
+48
+00:06:31,441 --> 00:06:34,205
+A beast approaches...
+
+49
+00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:42,508
+...and it was King Leonidas himself
+who provoked it.
+
+50
+00:07:53,156 --> 00:07:54,987
+That's it.
+
+51
+00:07:55,324 --> 00:08:00,193
+Now, the more you sweat here,
+the less you'll bleed in battle.
+
+52
+00:08:01,397 --> 00:08:03,865
+My father taught me...
+
+53
+00:08:04,033 --> 00:08:06,501
+...that fear is always a constant.
+
+54
+00:08:06,669 --> 00:08:08,193
+But accepting it...
+
+55
+00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:09,697
+...makes you stronger.
+
+56
+00:08:09,872 --> 00:08:11,237
+My queen.
+
+57
+00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:14,240
+A Persian emissary awaits Leonidas.
+
+58
+00:08:16,779 --> 00:08:18,178
+In the end...
+
+59
+00:08:18,347 --> 00:08:21,908
+...a Spartan's true strength
+is the warrior next to him.
+
+60
+00:08:22,685 --> 00:08:27,179
+So give respect and honor to him,
+and it will be returned to you.
+
+61
+00:08:27,723 --> 00:08:29,213
+First...
+
+62
+00:08:29,992 --> 00:08:32,927
+- ...you fight with your head.
+- Then you fight with your heart.
+
+63
+00:08:35,264 --> 00:08:36,959
+What is it?
+
+64
+00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,065
+A Persian messenger awaits you.
+
+65
+00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:42,837
+Do not forget today's lesson.
+
+66
+00:08:43,005 --> 00:08:45,701
+- Respect and honor.
+- Respect and honor.
+
+67
+00:09:01,224 --> 00:09:05,684
+Councilman Theron.
+You found yourself needed, for once.
+
+68
+00:09:06,762 --> 00:09:09,697
+My king and queen,
+I was just entertaining your guests.
+
+69
+00:09:09,899 --> 00:09:11,127
+I'm sure.
+
+70
+00:09:12,368 --> 00:09:14,199
+Before you speak, Persian...
+
+71
+00:09:14,370 --> 00:09:17,635
+...know that in Sparta everyone,
+even a king's messenger...
+
+72
+00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:20,401
+...is held accountable
+for the words of his voice.
+
+73
+00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:24,140
+Now, what message do you bring?
+
+74
+00:09:25,248 --> 00:09:27,716
+Earth and water.
+
+75
+00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:33,615
+You rode all the way from Persia
+for earth and water?
+
+76
+00:09:35,191 --> 00:09:39,093
+Do not be coy or stupid, Persian.
+You can afford neither in Sparta.
+
+77
+00:09:39,595 --> 00:09:42,063
+What makes this woman
+think she can speak among men?
+
+78
+00:09:42,231 --> 00:09:45,064
+Because only Spartan women
+give birth to real men.
+
+79
+00:09:46,569 --> 00:09:50,164
+Let us walk to cool our tongues.
+
+80
+00:09:52,775 --> 00:09:55,938
+If you value your lives
+over your complete annihilation...
+
+81
+00:09:56,112 --> 00:09:57,773
+...listen carefully, Leonidas.
+
+82
+00:09:57,947 --> 00:10:02,646
+Xerxes conquers and controls
+everything he rests his eyes upon.
+
+83
+00:10:02,818 --> 00:10:05,912
+He leads an army so massive,
+it shakes the ground with its march.
+
+84
+00:10:06,088 --> 00:10:08,784
+So vast, it drinks the rivers dry.
+
+85
+00:10:08,958 --> 00:10:11,950
+All the God-King Xerxes requires is this:
+
+86
+00:10:12,295 --> 00:10:15,526
+A simple offering of earth and water...
+
+87
+00:10:15,698 --> 00:10:19,862
+...a token of Sparta's submission
+to the will of Xerxes.
+
+88
+00:10:30,913 --> 00:10:33,074
+Submission.
+
+89
+00:10:35,251 --> 00:10:37,185
+Now, that's a bit of a problem.
+
+90
+00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:38,848
+See, rumor has it...
+
+91
+00:10:39,021 --> 00:10:41,649
+...the Athenians
+have already turned you down.
+
+92
+00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:47,791
+And if those philosophers and boy-lovers
+have found that kind of nerve, then--
+
+93
+00:10:47,963 --> 00:10:52,195
+- We must be diplomatic.
+- And, of course, Spartans...
+
+94
+00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:55,294
+...have their reputation to consider.
+
+95
+00:10:55,471 --> 00:10:59,498
+Choose your next words carefully,
+Leonidas.
+
+96
+00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:02,370
+They may be your last as king.
+
+97
+00:11:42,852 --> 00:11:46,151
+"Earth and water."
+
+98
+00:11:51,427 --> 00:11:53,520
+Madman. You're a madman.
+
+99
+00:11:53,696 --> 00:11:55,357
+Earth and water.
+
+100
+00:11:55,731 --> 00:11:57,892
+You'll find plenty of both down there.
+
+101
+00:11:58,167 --> 00:12:01,603
+No man, Persian or Greek,
+no man threatens a messenger.
+
+102
+00:12:02,071 --> 00:12:07,031
+You bring the crowns and heads
+of conquered kings to my city steps.
+
+103
+00:12:07,209 --> 00:12:09,268
+You insult my queen.
+
+104
+00:12:09,445 --> 00:12:13,176
+You threaten my people
+with slavery and death.
+
+105
+00:12:13,349 --> 00:12:16,284
+Oh, I've chosen my words carefully,
+Persian.
+
+106
+00:12:16,452 --> 00:12:18,420
+Perhaps you should have done the same.
+
+107
+00:12:18,587 --> 00:12:22,250
+This is blasphemy. This is madness!
+
+108
+00:12:39,642 --> 00:12:41,701
+Madness?
+
+109
+00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:44,471
+This is Sparta!
+
+110
+00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,366
+Welcome, Leonidas.
+
+111
+00:14:13,969 --> 00:14:17,132
+We have been expecting you.
+
+112
+00:14:23,612 --> 00:14:28,948
+The ephors,
+priests to the old gods.
+
+113
+00:14:29,351 --> 00:14:31,683
+Inbred swine.
+
+114
+00:14:31,854 --> 00:14:34,618
+More creature than man.
+
+115
+00:14:35,057 --> 00:14:40,495
+Creatures whom even Leonidas
+must bribe and beg.
+
+116
+00:14:41,363 --> 00:14:46,198
+For no Spartan king has gone to war
+without the ephors' blessing.
+
+117
+00:14:47,870 --> 00:14:51,931
+The Persians claim their forces
+number in the millions.
+
+118
+00:14:52,575 --> 00:14:55,840
+I hope, for our sake, they exaggerate.
+
+119
+00:14:56,312 --> 00:15:00,544
+But there's no question, we face
+the most massive army ever assembled.
+
+120
+00:15:00,783 --> 00:15:04,116
+Before your plan is heard...
+
+121
+00:15:04,286 --> 00:15:06,550
+...what do you offer?
+
+122
+00:15:16,098 --> 00:15:20,432
+We will use
+our superior fighting skills...
+
+123
+00:15:20,603 --> 00:15:24,664
+...and the terrain of Greece herself
+to destroy them.
+
+124
+00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,673
+We will march north to the coast,
+where I will make sure--
+
+125
+00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:32,746
+It is August, Leonidas.
+The full moon approaches.
+
+126
+00:15:33,115 --> 00:15:36,312
+The sacred and ancient festival.
+
+127
+00:15:36,485 --> 00:15:40,581
+Sparta wages no war
+at the time of the Carneia.
+
+128
+00:15:40,756 --> 00:15:42,348
+Sparta will burn!
+
+129
+00:15:42,791 --> 00:15:44,315
+Her men will die at arms...
+
+130
+00:15:44,493 --> 00:15:48,156
+...and her women and children
+will be slaves or worse.
+
+131
+00:15:50,299 --> 00:15:55,362
+Now, we will block
+the Persian coastal assault...
+
+132
+00:15:55,671 --> 00:15:57,969
+...by rebuilding the great Phocian Wall.
+
+133
+00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:02,839
+And from there, we will funnel them into
+the mountain pass we call the Hot Gates.
+
+134
+00:16:03,012 --> 00:16:07,381
+Now, in that narrow corridor,
+their numbers will count for nothing.
+
+135
+00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:10,143
+And wave after wave of Persian attack...
+
+136
+00:16:10,319 --> 00:16:14,255
+...will smash against Spartan shields.
+
+137
+00:16:14,823 --> 00:16:19,123
+Xerxes' losses will be so great,
+his men so demoralized...
+
+138
+00:16:19,294 --> 00:16:23,697
+...he will have no choice
+but to abandon his campaign.
+
+139
+00:16:23,866 --> 00:16:26,562
+We must consult the oracle.
+
+140
+00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:29,863
+Trust the gods, Leonidas.
+
+141
+00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,372
+I'd prefer you trusted your reason.
+
+142
+00:16:33,542 --> 00:16:35,567
+Your blasphemies...
+
+143
+00:16:35,744 --> 00:16:40,113
+...have cost us quite enough already.
+
+144
+00:16:40,849 --> 00:16:43,875
+Don't compound them.
+
+145
+00:16:45,954 --> 00:16:50,755
+We will consult the oracle.
+
+146
+00:16:52,895 --> 00:16:55,386
+Diseased old mystics.
+
+147
+00:16:56,398 --> 00:17:01,028
+Worthless remnants of a time
+before Sparta's ascent from darkness.
+
+148
+00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:04,635
+Remnants of a senseless tradition.
+
+149
+00:17:04,807 --> 00:17:09,176
+Tradition even Leonidas
+cannot defy...
+
+150
+00:17:09,344 --> 00:17:13,747
+...for he must respect
+the word of the ephors.
+
+151
+00:17:13,916 --> 00:17:15,850
+That is the law.
+
+152
+00:17:18,887 --> 00:17:23,221
+And no Spartan, subject or citizen,
+man or woman...
+
+153
+00:17:23,392 --> 00:17:27,419
+...slave or king, is above the law.
+
+154
+00:18:02,297 --> 00:18:06,563
+The ephors choose only
+the most beautiful Spartan girls...
+
+155
+00:18:06,735 --> 00:18:09,226
+...to live among them as oracles.
+
+156
+00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:12,669
+Their beauty is their curse...
+
+157
+00:18:12,841 --> 00:18:16,641
+...for the old wretches
+have the needs of men...
+
+158
+00:18:17,646 --> 00:18:21,742
+...and souls as black as hell.
+
+159
+00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,917
+"Pray to the winds...
+
+160
+00:18:30,425 --> 00:18:32,620
+...Sparta will fall.
+
+161
+00:18:35,564 --> 00:18:39,261
+All Greece will fall.
+
+162
+00:18:41,436 --> 00:18:45,065
+Trust not in men...
+
+163
+00:18:47,109 --> 00:18:50,374
+...honor the gods.
+
+164
+00:18:54,116 --> 00:18:57,779
+Honor the Carneia."
+
+165
+00:18:59,588 --> 00:19:03,183
+The king's climb down is harder.
+
+166
+00:19:03,358 --> 00:19:06,259
+Pompous, inbred swine.
+
+167
+00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:09,659
+Worthless, diseased, rotten...
+
+168
+00:19:09,832 --> 00:19:11,857
+...corrupt.
+
+169
+00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:18,866
+Truly, you're in the god-king's
+favor now...
+
+170
+00:19:19,441 --> 00:19:21,534
+...O wise and holy men.
+
+171
+00:19:21,844 --> 00:19:23,277
+Yes.
+
+172
+00:19:23,445 --> 00:19:28,405
+And when Sparta burns,
+you shall bathe in gold.
+
+173
+00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:31,178
+Fresh oracles shall be
+delivered to you...
+
+174
+00:19:31,653 --> 00:19:33,052
+...daily...
+
+175
+00:19:33,222 --> 00:19:37,022
+...from every corner of the empire.
+
+176
+00:20:12,694 --> 00:20:16,255
+Your lips can finish
+what your fingers have started.
+
+177
+00:20:19,401 --> 00:20:21,869
+Or has the oracle robbed you
+of your desire as well?
+
+178
+00:20:23,405 --> 00:20:26,431
+It would take more than the words
+of a drunken adolescent girl...
+
+179
+00:20:26,608 --> 00:20:28,303
+...to rob me of my desire for you.
+
+180
+00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:33,948
+Then why so distant?
+
+181
+00:20:37,085 --> 00:20:39,076
+Because it seems...
+
+182
+00:20:39,254 --> 00:20:45,193
+...though a slave and captive
+of lecherous old men...
+
+183
+00:20:45,527 --> 00:20:48,758
+...the oracle's words
+could set fire to all that I love.
+
+184
+00:20:48,931 --> 00:20:52,594
+So that is why my king loses sleep
+and is forced from the warmth of his bed?
+
+185
+00:20:55,570 --> 00:20:59,904
+There's only one woman's words that
+should affect the mood of my husband.
+
+186
+00:21:00,742 --> 00:21:02,300
+Those are mine.
+
+187
+00:21:06,481 --> 00:21:08,881
+Then what must a king do
+to save his world...
+
+188
+00:21:09,051 --> 00:21:13,488
+...when the very laws he is sworn
+to protect force him to do nothing?
+
+189
+00:21:16,425 --> 00:21:19,758
+It is not a question
+of what a Spartan citizen should do...
+
+190
+00:21:19,928 --> 00:21:22,795
+...nor a husband, nor a king.
+
+191
+00:21:23,432 --> 00:21:26,128
+Instead ask yourself, my dearest love...
+
+192
+00:21:27,769 --> 00:21:29,760
+...what should a free man do?
+
+193
+00:22:35,237 --> 00:22:39,401
+- Is this all of them?
+- As you ordered. Three hundred.
+
+194
+00:22:40,409 --> 00:22:43,708
+All with born sons
+to carry on their name.
+
+195
+00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:55,787
+We are with you, sire.
+
+196
+00:22:56,158 --> 00:22:58,285
+For Sparta. For freedom.
+
+197
+00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:00,428
+To the death.
+
+198
+00:23:11,239 --> 00:23:12,900
+He is your son.
+
+199
+00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:16,609
+He is too young
+to have felt a woman's warmth.
+
+200
+00:23:16,778 --> 00:23:20,737
+I have others to replace him.
+Astinos is as brave and ready as any.
+
+201
+00:23:21,083 --> 00:23:25,110
+No younger than we were the first time
+you stood next to me in battle.
+
+202
+00:23:28,890 --> 00:23:31,017
+You are a good friend...
+
+203
+00:23:31,193 --> 00:23:34,685
+...but a better captain, there is none.
+
+204
+00:23:40,202 --> 00:23:42,136
+My good king.
+
+205
+00:23:43,071 --> 00:23:46,404
+My good king, the oracle has spoken.
+
+206
+00:23:46,575 --> 00:23:49,442
+The ephors have spoken.
+There must be no march.
+
+207
+00:23:49,611 --> 00:23:51,408
+It is the law, my lord.
+
+208
+00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:55,573
+- The Spartan army must not go to war.
+- Nor shall it.
+
+209
+00:23:56,485 --> 00:23:58,077
+I've issued no such orders.
+
+210
+00:23:58,453 --> 00:24:01,980
+I'm here just taking a stroll,
+stretching my legs.
+
+211
+00:24:02,224 --> 00:24:07,389
+These 300 men
+are my personal bodyguard.
+
+212
+00:24:07,662 --> 00:24:09,823
+Our army will stay in Sparta.
+
+213
+00:24:10,432 --> 00:24:11,763
+Where will you go?
+
+214
+00:24:14,736 --> 00:24:16,966
+I hadn't really thought about it...
+
+215
+00:24:17,772 --> 00:24:19,933
+...but now that you ask...
+
+216
+00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:22,838
+...I suppose I'll head north.
+
+217
+00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:25,371
+The Hot Gates?
+
+218
+00:24:28,016 --> 00:24:30,416
+Move out!
+
+219
+00:24:30,619 --> 00:24:32,678
+Move out!
+
+220
+00:24:33,822 --> 00:24:35,414
+What shall we do?
+
+221
+00:24:36,958 --> 00:24:38,289
+What can we do?
+
+222
+00:24:38,994 --> 00:24:40,723
+What can you do?
+
+223
+00:24:43,765 --> 00:24:47,599
+Sparta will need sons.
+
+224
+00:25:35,383 --> 00:25:37,112
+Spartan!
+
+225
+00:25:46,394 --> 00:25:47,622
+Yes, milady?
+
+226
+00:26:03,712 --> 00:26:06,010
+Come back with your shield...
+
+227
+00:26:06,948 --> 00:26:08,381
+...or on it.
+
+228
+00:26:09,851 --> 00:26:11,216
+Yes, milady.
+
+229
+00:26:19,728 --> 00:26:22,026
+"Goodbye, my love."
+
+230
+00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:24,859
+He doesn't say it.
+
+231
+00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:27,597
+There's no room for softness...
+
+232
+00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:29,760
+...not in Sparta.
+
+233
+00:26:29,938 --> 00:26:32,702
+No place for weakness.
+
+234
+00:26:36,211 --> 00:26:40,409
+Only the hard and strong
+may call themselves Spartans.
+
+235
+00:26:41,249 --> 00:26:45,743
+Only the hard. Only the strong.
+
+236
+00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,080
+We march...
+
+237
+00:27:16,785 --> 00:27:22,280
+...for our lands, for our families,
+for our freedoms.
+
+238
+00:27:23,058 --> 00:27:25,219
+We march.
+
+239
+00:27:26,961 --> 00:27:28,622
+Daxos.
+
+240
+00:27:28,797 --> 00:27:32,198
+- What a pleasant surprise.
+- This morning's full of surprises, Leonidas.
+
+241
+00:27:32,367 --> 00:27:34,767
+- We've been tricked.
+- Can't be more than a hundred.
+
+242
+00:27:34,936 --> 00:27:37,166
+- This is a surprise.
+- Silence.
+
+243
+00:27:37,605 --> 00:27:39,573
+This isn't their army.
+
+244
+00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:43,905
+We heard Sparta was on the warpath
+and we were eager to join forces.
+
+245
+00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:48,675
+If it is blood you seek,
+you are welcome to join us.
+
+246
+00:27:49,017 --> 00:27:52,248
+But you bring only this handful
+of soldiers against Xerxes?
+
+247
+00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:56,015
+I see I was wrong to expect Sparta's
+commitment to at least match our own.
+
+248
+00:27:57,192 --> 00:27:59,023
+Doesn't it?
+
+249
+00:28:00,462 --> 00:28:02,157
+You, there.
+
+250
+00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:03,824
+What is your profession?
+
+251
+00:28:04,366 --> 00:28:06,493
+I'm a potter, sir.
+
+252
+00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:11,435
+And you, Arcadian.
+What is your profession?
+
+253
+00:28:11,806 --> 00:28:15,242
+- Sculptor, sir.
+- Sculptor.
+
+254
+00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:17,544
+- And you?
+- Blacksmith.
+
+255
+00:28:22,217 --> 00:28:25,516
+Spartans! What is your profession?
+
+256
+00:28:32,694 --> 00:28:34,628
+You see, old friend?
+
+257
+00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:37,697
+I brought more soldiers than you did.
+
+258
+00:28:47,642 --> 00:28:49,439
+No sleep tonight...
+
+259
+00:28:50,512 --> 00:28:52,980
+...not for the king.
+
+260
+00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:55,378
+All his 40 years
+have been a straight road...
+
+261
+00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:59,111
+...to this one gleaming moment
+in destiny...
+
+262
+00:28:59,287 --> 00:29:02,051
+...this one radiant clash
+of shield and spear...
+
+263
+00:29:02,223 --> 00:29:05,818
+...sword and bone,
+and flesh and blood.
+
+264
+00:29:07,529 --> 00:29:09,326
+His only regret...
+
+265
+00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:13,228
+...is that he has so few
+to sacrifice.
+
+266
+00:29:34,522 --> 00:29:36,513
+We're being followed.
+
+267
+00:29:41,563 --> 00:29:43,758
+It has followed us since Sparta.
+
+268
+00:29:48,703 --> 00:29:51,695
+My king! Look!
+
+269
+00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:14,127
+What happened here?
+
+270
+00:30:14,696 --> 00:30:16,027
+Where are all the people?
+
+271
+00:30:17,131 --> 00:30:18,826
+Persians.
+
+272
+00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,797
+I put their number at around 20.
+
+273
+00:30:23,171 --> 00:30:24,536
+A scouting party.
+
+274
+00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:29,399
+But these footprints....
+
+275
+00:30:40,788 --> 00:30:42,255
+Behind us!
+
+276
+00:30:56,304 --> 00:30:57,532
+Child!
+
+277
+00:31:30,505 --> 00:31:33,235
+It's quiet now.
+
+278
+00:31:33,708 --> 00:31:35,505
+They....
+
+279
+00:31:35,877 --> 00:31:39,904
+They came with beasts
+from the blackness.
+
+280
+00:31:41,482 --> 00:31:43,746
+With their claws and fangs...
+
+281
+00:31:43,918 --> 00:31:46,148
+...they grabbed them.
+
+282
+00:31:47,055 --> 00:31:49,216
+Everyone...
+
+283
+00:31:50,224 --> 00:31:52,283
+...but me.
+
+284
+00:32:04,539 --> 00:32:06,097
+The villagers.
+
+285
+00:32:06,641 --> 00:32:08,575
+I found them.
+
+286
+00:32:20,088 --> 00:32:22,886
+Have the gods no mercy?
+
+287
+00:32:24,058 --> 00:32:26,083
+We are doomed.
+
+288
+00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:28,888
+Quiet yourself.
+
+289
+00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:37,533
+The child speaks of the Persian ghosts,
+known from the ancient times.
+
+290
+00:32:38,406 --> 00:32:41,102
+They are the hunters of men's souls.
+
+291
+00:32:42,143 --> 00:32:44,771
+They cannot be killed or defeated.
+
+292
+00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:49,544
+Not this darkness. Not these Immortals.
+
+293
+00:32:51,719 --> 00:32:53,914
+Immortals?
+
+294
+00:32:54,222 --> 00:32:57,282
+We'll put their name to the test.
+
+295
+00:33:19,347 --> 00:33:22,111
+Into the Hot Gates we march.
+
+296
+00:33:22,283 --> 00:33:25,582
+Into that narrow corridor
+we march...
+
+297
+00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:28,017
+...where Xerxes' numbers
+count for nothing.
+
+298
+00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:33,126
+Spartans, citizen-soldiers,
+freed slaves.
+
+299
+00:33:33,294 --> 00:33:35,194
+Brave Greeks, all.
+
+300
+00:33:36,197 --> 00:33:39,291
+Brothers, fathers, sons...
+
+301
+00:33:39,467 --> 00:33:41,458
+...we march.
+
+302
+00:33:42,136 --> 00:33:46,334
+For honor's sake, for duty's sake,
+for glory's sake, we march.
+
+303
+00:33:46,507 --> 00:33:49,601
+Look! Persians.
+
+304
+00:33:54,749 --> 00:33:58,480
+Into hell's mouth we march.
+
+305
+00:34:07,528 --> 00:34:09,587
+Let's watch these motherless dogs...
+
+306
+00:34:09,831 --> 00:34:13,892
+...as they're embraced by the loving arms
+of Greece herself. Come.
+
+307
+00:34:16,704 --> 00:34:18,399
+True.
+
+308
+00:34:22,610 --> 00:34:25,078
+It does look like rain.
+
+309
+00:34:28,382 --> 00:34:31,613
+Zeus stabs the sky
+with thunderbolts...
+
+310
+00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:35,946
+...and batters the Persian ships
+with hurricane wind.
+
+311
+00:34:37,091 --> 00:34:39,525
+Glorious.
+
+312
+00:34:51,806 --> 00:34:54,673
+Only one among us
+keeps his Spartan reserve.
+
+313
+00:35:00,615 --> 00:35:02,549
+Only he.
+
+314
+00:35:02,717 --> 00:35:05,185
+Only our king.
+
+315
+00:35:22,603 --> 00:35:24,537
+My queen?
+
+316
+00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:31,041
+My queen...
+
+317
+00:35:31,212 --> 00:35:34,545
+...the courtyard is a more fitting place
+for a married woman.
+
+318
+00:35:34,715 --> 00:35:36,376
+I'm afraid gossip and protocol...
+
+319
+00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:39,076
+...are the least of my worries now,
+councilman.
+
+320
+00:35:40,755 --> 00:35:42,586
+Is such secrecy needed?
+
+321
+00:35:42,757 --> 00:35:45,419
+How am I to trust beyond the walls
+of my own home?
+
+322
+00:35:45,593 --> 00:35:49,324
+Even here, Theron has eyes and ears
+which fuel Sparta with doubt and fear.
+
+323
+00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:53,131
+You speak as if all Sparta
+conspires against you.
+
+324
+00:35:53,768 --> 00:35:55,827
+I wish it were only against me.
+
+325
+00:35:58,472 --> 00:36:01,964
+Many on our council
+would vote to give all we have...
+
+326
+00:36:02,143 --> 00:36:04,008
+...and follow Leonidas...
+
+327
+00:36:04,345 --> 00:36:06,313
+...but you must show them favor.
+
+328
+00:36:08,616 --> 00:36:11,084
+And you can arrange for me
+to speak to the council?
+
+329
+00:36:11,252 --> 00:36:13,686
+If it is reason they want,
+I will let them know.
+
+330
+00:36:13,855 --> 00:36:15,982
+Know what, my queen?
+
+331
+00:36:16,357 --> 00:36:18,348
+Freedom isn't free at all.
+
+332
+00:36:18,526 --> 00:36:21,859
+That it comes with the highest of costs,
+the cost of blood.
+
+333
+00:36:24,131 --> 00:36:26,759
+I will do my best to gather our council.
+
+334
+00:36:27,201 --> 00:36:31,035
+And its chamber
+shall be filled with your voice.
+
+335
+00:36:31,372 --> 00:36:33,203
+- I'm in your debt.
+- No.
+
+336
+00:36:33,541 --> 00:36:37,705
+Leonidas is my king as well as yours.
+
+337
+00:37:02,503 --> 00:37:04,368
+I saw those ships smash on the rocks.
+
+338
+00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:06,838
+How can this be?
+
+339
+00:37:07,008 --> 00:37:10,307
+We saw but a fraction of the monster
+that is Xerxes' army.
+
+340
+00:37:10,978 --> 00:37:13,378
+There can be no victory here.
+
+341
+00:37:17,318 --> 00:37:19,013
+Why do you smile?
+
+342
+00:37:20,721 --> 00:37:22,655
+Arcadian...
+
+343
+00:37:22,823 --> 00:37:25,849
+...I have fought countless times...
+
+344
+00:37:26,127 --> 00:37:28,789
+...yet I've never met an adversary
+who could offer me...
+
+345
+00:37:28,963 --> 00:37:31,124
+...what we Spartans
+call "a beautiful death."
+
+346
+00:37:31,933 --> 00:37:33,594
+I can only hope...
+
+347
+00:37:33,768 --> 00:37:36,498
+...with all the world's warriors
+gathered against us...
+
+348
+00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:40,334
+...there might be one down there
+who's up to the task.
+
+349
+00:37:51,786 --> 00:37:54,118
+Move!
+
+350
+00:37:55,423 --> 00:37:58,358
+Keep going, you dogs!
+
+351
+00:38:06,033 --> 00:38:08,058
+Move!
+
+352
+00:38:09,503 --> 00:38:12,063
+Forward, I say!
+
+353
+00:38:14,408 --> 00:38:16,000
+Stop here!
+
+354
+00:38:16,844 --> 00:38:19,005
+Who commands here?
+
+355
+00:38:21,215 --> 00:38:23,877
+I am the emissary...
+
+356
+00:38:24,051 --> 00:38:26,315
+...to the ruler of all the world...
+
+357
+00:38:27,121 --> 00:38:31,023
+...the god of gods, king of kings...
+
+358
+00:38:31,192 --> 00:38:32,784
+...and by that authority...
+
+359
+00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,726
+...I demand that someone
+show me your commander.
+
+360
+00:38:40,501 --> 00:38:46,406
+Listen. Do you think the paltry dozen
+you slew scares us?
+
+361
+00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:50,066
+These hills swarm with our scouts.
+
+362
+00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:54,943
+And do you think your pathetic wall
+will do anything...
+
+363
+00:38:55,116 --> 00:39:01,419
+...except fall like a heap of dry leaves
+in the face of...?
+
+364
+00:39:13,134 --> 00:39:15,432
+Our ancestors built this wall...
+
+365
+00:39:16,170 --> 00:39:20,106
+...using ancient stones
+from the bosom of Greece herself.
+
+366
+00:39:20,541 --> 00:39:22,907
+And with a little Spartan help...
+
+367
+00:39:23,210 --> 00:39:25,678
+...your Persian scouts
+supplied the mortar.
+
+368
+00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,239
+You will pay for your barbarism!
+
+369
+00:39:49,403 --> 00:39:50,961
+My arm!
+
+370
+00:39:53,541 --> 00:39:55,406
+It's not yours anymore.
+
+371
+00:39:55,676 --> 00:40:00,306
+Go now. Run along and tell your Xerxes
+he faces free men here...
+
+372
+00:40:00,681 --> 00:40:02,046
+...not slaves.
+
+373
+00:40:02,216 --> 00:40:03,444
+Do it quickly...
+
+374
+00:40:03,684 --> 00:40:06,619
+...before we decide to make our wall
+just a little bit bigger.
+
+375
+00:40:07,121 --> 00:40:08,713
+No.
+
+376
+00:40:08,889 --> 00:40:11,323
+Not slaves.
+
+377
+00:40:13,127 --> 00:40:16,563
+Your women will be slaves.
+
+378
+00:40:16,897 --> 00:40:19,730
+Your sons, your daughters...
+
+379
+00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,232
+...your elders will be slaves!
+
+380
+00:40:22,403 --> 00:40:25,167
+But not you, no.
+
+381
+00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:29,400
+By noon this day you will be dead men.
+
+382
+00:40:30,578 --> 00:40:36,574
+A thousand nations of the Persian Empire
+descend upon you.
+
+383
+00:40:36,984 --> 00:40:40,476
+Our arrows will blot out the sun.
+
+384
+00:40:42,256 --> 00:40:44,952
+Then we will fight in the shade.
+
+385
+00:40:46,494 --> 00:40:48,257
+The wall is solid.
+
+386
+00:40:48,429 --> 00:40:51,592
+It'll do the job of funneling the Persians
+into the Hot Gates.
+
+387
+00:40:51,932 --> 00:40:54,628
+Have the men found any route
+through the hills to our back?
+
+388
+00:40:55,136 --> 00:40:57,161
+None, sire.
+
+389
+00:40:57,438 --> 00:40:58,996
+There is such a route, good king.
+
+390
+00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:01,269
+Just pass that western ridge.
+
+391
+00:41:01,942 --> 00:41:03,637
+It's an old goat path.
+
+392
+00:41:03,811 --> 00:41:06,644
+The Persians could use it to outflank us.
+
+393
+00:41:06,814 --> 00:41:10,545
+Not one step closer, monster!
+
+394
+00:41:12,186 --> 00:41:15,781
+Wise king, I humbly request an audience.
+
+395
+00:41:15,956 --> 00:41:19,323
+- I'll skewer you where you stand.
+- I gave no such order.
+
+396
+00:41:29,837 --> 00:41:31,065
+Forgive the captain.
+
+397
+00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,229
+He is a good soldier...
+
+398
+00:41:33,807 --> 00:41:36,435
+...but a bit short on manners.
+
+399
+00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:40,671
+There is nothing to forgive, brave king.
+I know what I look like.
+
+400
+00:41:41,115 --> 00:41:43,140
+You wear the crimson of a Spartan.
+
+401
+00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:49,383
+I am Ephialtes, born of Sparta.
+
+402
+00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:54,051
+My mother's love
+led my parents to flee Sparta...
+
+403
+00:41:54,228 --> 00:41:55,695
+...lest I be discarded.
+
+404
+00:41:56,230 --> 00:41:59,028
+Your shield and armor?
+
+405
+00:41:59,934 --> 00:42:01,595
+My father's, sir.
+
+406
+00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:06,998
+I beg you, bold king,
+to permit me...
+
+407
+00:42:07,174 --> 00:42:12,202
+...to redeem my father's name
+by serving you in combat.
+
+408
+00:42:12,513 --> 00:42:18,383
+My father trained me to feel no fear,
+to make spear and shield and sword...
+
+409
+00:42:18,552 --> 00:42:21,282
+...as much a part of me
+as my own beating heart.
+
+410
+00:42:21,722 --> 00:42:25,021
+I will earn my father's armor,
+noble king...
+
+411
+00:42:25,192 --> 00:42:27,353
+...by serving you in the battle.
+
+412
+00:42:32,533 --> 00:42:34,626
+A fine thrust.
+
+413
+00:42:34,802 --> 00:42:36,394
+I will kill many Persians.
+
+414
+00:42:42,276 --> 00:42:43,868
+Raise your shield.
+
+415
+00:42:44,044 --> 00:42:46,706
+- Sire?
+- Raise your shield as high as you can.
+
+416
+00:42:54,955 --> 00:42:57,981
+Your father should have taught you
+how our phalanx works.
+
+417
+00:42:58,659 --> 00:42:59,956
+We fight...
+
+418
+00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:03,395
+...as a single, impenetrable unit.
+
+419
+00:43:03,564 --> 00:43:06,499
+That is the source of our strength.
+
+420
+00:43:07,334 --> 00:43:10,963
+Each Spartan protects the man
+to his left...
+
+421
+00:43:11,138 --> 00:43:14,335
+...from thigh to neck with his shield.
+
+422
+00:43:14,508 --> 00:43:19,172
+A single weak spot
+and the phalanx shatters.
+
+423
+00:43:20,581 --> 00:43:23,812
+From thigh to neck, Ephialtes.
+
+424
+00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:28,253
+I am sorry, my friend.
+
+425
+00:43:28,422 --> 00:43:31,016
+- But not all of us were made to be soldiers.
+- But I--
+
+426
+00:43:31,191 --> 00:43:33,625
+- If you want to help in a Spartan victory...
+- Yes.
+
+427
+00:43:33,794 --> 00:43:38,959
+...clear the battlefield of the dead,
+tend the wounded, bring them water...
+
+428
+00:43:39,133 --> 00:43:40,760
+...but as for the fight itself...
+
+429
+00:43:42,136 --> 00:43:44,036
+...I cannot use you.
+
+430
+00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:47,306
+You....
+
+431
+00:43:55,182 --> 00:43:59,278
+Mother! Father! You were wrong!
+
+432
+00:44:02,556 --> 00:44:04,319
+You are wrong!
+
+433
+00:44:04,491 --> 00:44:09,019
+Leonidas! You are wrong!
+
+434
+00:44:09,496 --> 00:44:11,964
+Dispatch the Phocians to the goat path...
+
+435
+00:44:12,132 --> 00:44:16,660
+...and pray to the gods
+nobody tells the Persians about it.
+
+436
+00:44:22,376 --> 00:44:23,934
+Earthquake.
+
+437
+00:44:24,478 --> 00:44:25,706
+No, captain.
+
+438
+00:44:27,314 --> 00:44:29,248
+Battle formations.
+
+439
+00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:56,337
+This is where we hold them.
+
+440
+00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:58,774
+This is where we fight!
+
+441
+00:44:59,346 --> 00:45:01,576
+This is where they die!
+
+442
+00:45:01,915 --> 00:45:03,780
+Earn these shields, boys!
+
+443
+00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,011
+Remember this day, men...
+
+444
+00:45:09,189 --> 00:45:12,920
+...for it will be yours for all time.
+
+445
+00:45:24,037 --> 00:45:25,800
+Spartans!
+
+446
+00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:28,100
+Lay down your weapons!
+
+447
+00:45:44,992 --> 00:45:47,256
+Persians!
+
+448
+00:45:47,828 --> 00:45:49,887
+Come and get them!
+
+449
+00:46:11,385 --> 00:46:13,012
+Hold!
+
+450
+00:46:15,856 --> 00:46:17,414
+Give them nothing...
+
+451
+00:46:17,858 --> 00:46:21,453
+...but take from them everything!
+
+452
+00:46:23,163 --> 00:46:24,892
+Steady!
+
+453
+00:46:35,676 --> 00:46:37,200
+Push!
+
+454
+00:46:41,048 --> 00:46:43,448
+Is that the best you can do?
+
+455
+00:46:45,652 --> 00:46:47,643
+Push! Push!
+
+456
+00:46:57,731 --> 00:46:59,255
+Now!
+
+457
+00:47:11,078 --> 00:47:12,568
+Push!
+
+458
+00:47:56,123 --> 00:47:58,717
+No prisoners!
+
+459
+00:47:59,059 --> 00:48:00,788
+No mercy!
+
+460
+00:49:20,107 --> 00:49:22,234
+They look thirsty.
+
+461
+00:49:23,343 --> 00:49:26,278
+Well, let's give them something to drink.
+
+462
+00:49:29,182 --> 00:49:31,844
+To the cliffs.
+
+463
+00:49:55,475 --> 00:49:57,636
+Halt.
+
+464
+00:49:59,746 --> 00:50:01,839
+Hell of a good start.
+
+465
+00:50:24,504 --> 00:50:26,972
+Tuck tail!
+
+466
+00:50:32,446 --> 00:50:34,004
+Persian cowards.
+
+467
+00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:44,723
+- What the hell are you laughing at?
+- Well, you had to say it.
+
+468
+00:50:45,525 --> 00:50:49,188
+- What?
+- "Fight in the shade."
+
+469
+00:51:02,709 --> 00:51:04,643
+Recover.
+
+470
+00:51:27,934 --> 00:51:30,562
+Today no Spartan dies.
+
+471
+00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:57,128
+Easy, son.
+
+472
+00:52:23,356 --> 00:52:25,324
+We do what we were trained to do...
+
+473
+00:52:25,492 --> 00:52:26,959
+...what we were bred to do...
+
+474
+00:52:27,127 --> 00:52:30,119
+...what we were born to do.
+
+475
+00:52:37,504 --> 00:52:40,496
+No prisoners. No mercy.
+
+476
+00:52:40,674 --> 00:52:42,141
+A good start.
+
+477
+00:53:51,611 --> 00:53:54,876
+- I was afraid you might not come.
+- I'm sorry, my son is--
+
+478
+00:53:55,048 --> 00:54:00,645
+Is doing what children do best.
+Please, don't apologize.
+
+479
+00:54:01,655 --> 00:54:03,782
+Your son starts the agoge next year.
+
+480
+00:54:04,391 --> 00:54:08,384
+That is always a difficult time
+for a Spartan mother.
+
+481
+00:54:09,496 --> 00:54:14,058
+Yes, it will be hard. But also necessary.
+
+482
+00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:20,735
+You will speak before the council
+in two days' time.
+
+483
+00:54:22,609 --> 00:54:24,634
+My husband does not have two days.
+
+484
+00:54:25,045 --> 00:54:27,013
+Think of the two days as a gift.
+
+485
+00:54:29,082 --> 00:54:31,107
+It's no secret...
+
+486
+00:54:31,284 --> 00:54:34,151
+...Theron wants what you control.
+
+487
+00:54:34,321 --> 00:54:37,154
+It's his voice you must silence.
+
+488
+00:54:37,324 --> 00:54:39,417
+Make him your ally...
+
+489
+00:54:39,726 --> 00:54:42,286
+...and you will have your victory.
+
+490
+00:54:43,096 --> 00:54:44,859
+Thank you.
+
+491
+00:54:45,198 --> 00:54:47,598
+You are wise as you are kind.
+
+492
+00:55:14,661 --> 00:55:16,424
+There's your mother.
+
+493
+00:55:22,902 --> 00:55:26,338
+You should keep a better eye on him
+if he's to be king one day.
+
+494
+00:55:26,539 --> 00:55:29,007
+Be unfortunate if anything
+were to happen to him.
+
+495
+00:55:30,510 --> 00:55:32,375
+Or to his beautiful mother.
+
+496
+00:55:33,846 --> 00:55:35,336
+No!
+
+497
+00:55:53,584 --> 00:55:59,022
+Our Greek comrades are begging
+for a crack at the Persians, sire.
+
+498
+00:55:59,323 --> 00:56:00,654
+Good.
+
+499
+00:56:00,825 --> 00:56:03,589
+I've got something
+I think they can handle.
+
+500
+00:56:04,094 --> 00:56:05,789
+Tell Daxos that I want him...
+
+501
+00:56:05,963 --> 00:56:10,491
+...and 20 of his best eager, sober
+and ready for the next charge.
+
+502
+00:56:10,668 --> 00:56:12,499
+King Leonidas.
+
+503
+00:56:15,005 --> 00:56:18,805
+- Stelios, catch your breath, boy.
+- Yes, milord.
+
+504
+00:56:19,443 --> 00:56:21,570
+The Persians are approaching.
+
+505
+00:56:22,947 --> 00:56:26,815
+A small contingent.
+Too small for an attack.
+
+506
+00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:34,115
+- Captain, I leave you in charge.
+- But sire--
+
+507
+00:56:34,291 --> 00:56:35,519
+Relax, old friend.
+
+508
+00:56:35,693 --> 00:56:40,255
+If they assassinate me,
+all of Sparta goes to war.
+
+509
+00:56:41,198 --> 00:56:43,792
+Pray they're that stupid.
+
+510
+00:56:44,902 --> 00:56:46,597
+Pray...
+
+511
+00:56:47,137 --> 00:56:49,332
+...we're that lucky.
+
+512
+00:56:52,476 --> 00:56:54,239
+Besides...
+
+513
+00:56:56,514 --> 00:56:59,847
+...there's no reason we can't be civil...
+
+514
+00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,742
+...is there?
+
+515
+00:57:03,087 --> 00:57:04,076
+None, sire.
+
+516
+00:57:23,471 --> 00:57:25,701
+Let me guess.
+
+517
+00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,432
+You must be Xerxes.
+
+518
+00:57:41,455 --> 00:57:43,650
+Come, Leonidas.
+
+519
+00:57:45,092 --> 00:57:46,855
+Let us reason together.
+
+520
+00:57:47,128 --> 00:57:49,096
+It would be a regrettable waste...
+
+521
+00:57:49,497 --> 00:57:52,694
+...it would be nothing short of madness
+were you, brave king...
+
+522
+00:57:52,867 --> 00:57:56,064
+...and your valiant troops to perish...
+
+523
+00:57:56,704 --> 00:57:58,763
+...all because of a simple
+misunderstanding.
+
+524
+00:57:59,373 --> 00:58:02,206
+- There's much our cultures could share.
+- Haven't you noticed?
+
+525
+00:58:02,376 --> 00:58:04,776
+We've been sharing our culture
+with you all morning.
+
+526
+00:58:05,379 --> 00:58:07,643
+Yours is a fascinating tribe.
+
+527
+00:58:07,815 --> 00:58:09,976
+Even now you are defiant...
+
+528
+00:58:10,151 --> 00:58:14,281
+...in the face of annihilation
+and the presence of a god.
+
+529
+00:58:14,455 --> 00:58:16,480
+It isn't wise to stand against me,
+Leonidas.
+
+530
+00:58:17,158 --> 00:58:19,388
+Imagine what a horrible fate
+awaits my enemies...
+
+531
+00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,461
+...when I would gladly kill
+any of my own men for victory.
+
+532
+00:58:22,630 --> 00:58:25,258
+And I would die for any one of mine.
+
+533
+00:58:25,433 --> 00:58:29,665
+You Greeks take pride in your logic.
+I suggest you employ it.
+
+534
+00:58:29,837 --> 00:58:33,398
+Consider the beautiful land
+you so vigorously defend.
+
+535
+00:58:33,574 --> 00:58:36,065
+Picture it reduced to ash at my whim.
+
+536
+00:58:36,310 --> 00:58:37,777
+Consider the fate of your women.
+
+537
+00:58:38,379 --> 00:58:40,904
+Clearly you don't know our women.
+
+538
+00:58:41,082 --> 00:58:44,609
+I might as well have marched them up here,
+judging by what I've seen.
+
+539
+00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,245
+You have many slaves, Xerxes...
+
+540
+00:58:49,190 --> 00:58:51,488
+...but few warriors.
+
+541
+00:58:51,659 --> 00:58:55,595
+It won't be long
+before they fear my spears...
+
+542
+00:58:55,997 --> 00:58:58,431
+...more than your whips.
+
+543
+00:59:02,269 --> 00:59:05,136
+It's not the lash they fear...
+
+544
+00:59:07,875 --> 00:59:09,536
+...it is my divine power.
+
+545
+00:59:10,277 --> 00:59:14,771
+But I am a generous god.
+I can make you rich beyond all measure.
+
+546
+00:59:15,216 --> 00:59:17,616
+I will make you warlord of all Greece.
+
+547
+00:59:18,252 --> 00:59:22,154
+You will carry my battle standard
+to the heart of Europa.
+
+548
+00:59:22,323 --> 00:59:24,917
+Your Athenian rivals...
+
+549
+00:59:25,226 --> 00:59:27,387
+...will kneel at your feet...
+
+550
+00:59:28,095 --> 00:59:30,893
+...if you will but kneel at mine.
+
+551
+00:59:31,732 --> 00:59:33,996
+You are generous...
+
+552
+00:59:34,568 --> 00:59:36,968
+...as you are divine...
+
+553
+00:59:37,705 --> 00:59:39,332
+...O king of kings.
+
+554
+00:59:39,507 --> 00:59:43,409
+Such an offer
+only a madman would refuse.
+
+555
+00:59:44,011 --> 00:59:46,002
+But the....
+
+556
+00:59:46,914 --> 00:59:49,747
+The idea of kneeling, it's....
+
+557
+00:59:49,917 --> 00:59:54,445
+You see, slaughtering
+all those men of yours has....
+
+558
+00:59:54,622 --> 00:59:58,456
+Well, it's left a nasty cramp in my leg...
+
+559
+00:59:58,626 --> 01:00:00,719
+...so kneeling will be hard for me.
+
+560
+01:00:00,995 --> 01:00:04,362
+There will be no glory in your sacrifice.
+
+561
+01:00:04,532 --> 01:00:08,127
+I will erase even the memory of Sparta
+from the histories.
+
+562
+01:00:08,302 --> 01:00:11,499
+Every piece of Greek parchment
+shall be burned.
+
+563
+01:00:11,672 --> 01:00:15,005
+Every Greek historian and every scribe
+shall have their eyes put out...
+
+564
+01:00:15,176 --> 01:00:17,440
+...and their tongues
+cut from their mouths.
+
+565
+01:00:17,611 --> 01:00:23,607
+Why, uttering the very name of Sparta
+or Leonidas will be punishable by death.
+
+566
+01:00:24,251 --> 01:00:27,516
+The world will never know
+you existed at all.
+
+567
+01:00:29,657 --> 01:00:34,253
+The world will know
+that free men stood against a tyrant.
+
+568
+01:00:34,462 --> 01:00:37,954
+That few stood against many.
+
+569
+01:00:38,365 --> 01:00:41,493
+And before this battle was over...
+
+570
+01:00:41,769 --> 01:00:44,738
+...that even a god-king can bleed.
+
+571
+01:00:52,113 --> 01:00:54,308
+You fought well today...
+
+572
+01:00:55,649 --> 01:00:57,549
+...for a woman.
+
+573
+01:00:58,719 --> 01:01:00,380
+As did you.
+
+574
+01:01:00,554 --> 01:01:03,648
+Maybe if I'm injured,
+you'll be able to keep up with me.
+
+575
+01:01:04,158 --> 01:01:09,118
+Perhaps I was so far ahead
+you couldn't see me.
+
+576
+01:01:09,730 --> 01:01:12,927
+More likely offering your backside
+to the Thespians.
+
+577
+01:01:13,868 --> 01:01:15,495
+Jealousy...
+
+578
+01:01:15,669 --> 01:01:18,160
+...does not become you, my friend.
+
+579
+01:01:20,908 --> 01:01:23,240
+Move it, men!
+
+580
+01:01:25,346 --> 01:01:27,576
+Pile those Persians high.
+
+581
+01:01:30,718 --> 01:01:33,516
+For unless I miss my guess...
+
+582
+01:01:34,088 --> 01:01:37,080
+...we're in for one wild night.
+
+583
+01:02:01,015 --> 01:02:06,180
+They have served the dark will
+of Persian kings for 500 years.
+
+584
+01:02:06,353 --> 01:02:08,685
+Eyes as dark as night.
+
+585
+01:02:08,856 --> 01:02:10,847
+Teeth filed to fangs.
+
+586
+01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,224
+Soulless.
+
+587
+01:02:22,636 --> 01:02:27,403
+The personal guard to King Xerxes himself.
+The Persian warrior elite.
+
+588
+01:02:29,210 --> 01:02:32,304
+The deadliest fighting force
+in all of Asia:
+
+589
+01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,139
+The Immortals.
+
+590
+01:02:43,357 --> 01:02:46,758
+The god-king
+has betrayed a fatal flaw:
+
+591
+01:02:47,261 --> 01:02:49,024
+Hubris.
+
+592
+01:02:51,265 --> 01:02:54,029
+Easy to taunt, easy to trick.
+
+593
+01:02:54,702 --> 01:02:57,136
+Before wounds and weariness
+have taken their toll...
+
+594
+01:02:57,304 --> 01:03:00,831
+...the mad king
+throws the best he has at us.
+
+595
+01:03:01,342 --> 01:03:03,037
+Xerxes has taken the bait.
+
+596
+01:03:03,210 --> 01:03:05,007
+Spartans, push!
+
+597
+01:03:15,689 --> 01:03:17,281
+Immortals.
+
+598
+01:03:17,758 --> 01:03:20,727
+We put their name to the test.
+
+599
+01:04:04,905 --> 01:04:06,338
+Father!
+
+600
+01:05:52,012 --> 01:05:53,274
+My king!
+
+601
+01:07:06,053 --> 01:07:08,021
+Arcadians, now!
+
+602
+01:07:10,324 --> 01:07:13,088
+Go! Show the Spartans what we can do.
+
+603
+01:07:13,694 --> 01:07:15,127
+Go!
+
+604
+01:07:24,538 --> 01:07:26,438
+They shout and curse...
+
+605
+01:07:26,607 --> 01:07:29,804
+...stabbing wildly,
+more brawlers than warriors.
+
+606
+01:07:30,944 --> 01:07:33,504
+They make a wondrous
+mess of things.
+
+607
+01:07:34,548 --> 01:07:37,312
+Brave amateurs, they do their part.
+
+608
+01:08:24,932 --> 01:08:26,797
+Immortals.
+
+609
+01:08:26,967 --> 01:08:29,561
+They fail our king's test.
+
+610
+01:08:29,736 --> 01:08:32,671
+And a man
+who fancies himself a god...
+
+611
+01:08:33,407 --> 01:08:38,344
+...feels a very human chill
+crawl up his spine.
+
+612
+01:08:45,452 --> 01:08:47,579
+To our king!
+
+613
+01:08:47,955 --> 01:08:49,946
+And our honored dead.
+
+614
+01:08:50,123 --> 01:08:52,921
+Whom will Xerxes dare to send next?
+Whom?!
+
+615
+01:08:53,260 --> 01:08:55,956
+There's nothing that can stop us now!
+
+616
+01:08:56,830 --> 01:09:00,357
+Even the king allows himself
+to hope for more than glory.
+
+617
+01:09:00,534 --> 01:09:03,867
+Such mad hope, but there it is:
+
+618
+01:09:04,304 --> 01:09:09,708
+"Against Asia's endless hordes,
+against all odds, we can do it.
+
+619
+01:09:09,876 --> 01:09:12,606
+We can hold the Hot Gates.
+
+620
+01:09:12,779 --> 01:09:14,906
+We can win."
+
+621
+01:09:22,489 --> 01:09:24,252
+Dawn.
+
+622
+01:09:24,858 --> 01:09:28,885
+Whips crack. Barbarians howl.
+
+623
+01:09:29,062 --> 01:09:32,964
+Those behind cry, "Forward!"
+
+624
+01:09:34,835 --> 01:09:38,635
+Those in front cry, "Back!"
+
+625
+01:09:44,745 --> 01:09:47,270
+Our eyes bear witness
+to the grotesque spectacle...
+
+626
+01:09:47,447 --> 01:09:51,543
+...coughed forth from the darkest
+corner of Xerxes' empire.
+
+627
+01:10:41,768 --> 01:10:43,292
+When muscle failed...
+
+628
+01:10:43,737 --> 01:10:46,399
+...they turned to their magic.
+
+629
+01:10:47,441 --> 01:10:52,242
+One hundred nations descend
+upon us, the armies of all Asia.
+
+630
+01:10:52,412 --> 01:10:56,872
+Funneled into this narrow corridor,
+their numbers count for nothing.
+
+631
+01:11:31,251 --> 01:11:33,219
+They fall by the hundreds.
+
+632
+01:11:33,386 --> 01:11:38,983
+We send the severed bodies and the
+fragile hearts back to Xerxes' feet.
+
+633
+01:11:55,609 --> 01:11:59,773
+King Xerxes is displeased
+with his generals.
+
+634
+01:11:59,946 --> 01:12:02,506
+He disciplines them.
+
+635
+01:12:19,399 --> 01:12:23,802
+Xerxes dispatches his monsters
+from half the world away.
+
+636
+01:12:34,781 --> 01:12:36,874
+They're clumsy beasts...
+
+637
+01:12:37,050 --> 01:12:39,416
+...and the piled Persian dead
+are slippery.
+
+638
+01:13:15,856 --> 01:13:18,290
+- You still here?
+- Somebody's gotta watch your back.
+
+639
+01:13:18,458 --> 01:13:20,050
+Not now, I'm a little busy.
+
+640
+01:14:00,333 --> 01:14:02,858
+Regroup!
+
+641
+01:14:06,072 --> 01:14:07,699
+Astinos!
+
+642
+01:14:07,908 --> 01:14:09,603
+My son!
+
+643
+01:14:18,551 --> 01:14:20,178
+Astinos!
+
+644
+01:14:20,353 --> 01:14:23,117
+No!
+
+645
+01:14:46,379 --> 01:14:48,506
+Day wears on.
+
+646
+01:14:48,848 --> 01:14:51,009
+We lose few...
+
+647
+01:14:51,184 --> 01:14:54,415
+...but each felled is a friend,
+or dearest blood.
+
+648
+01:14:56,623 --> 01:15:00,525
+And upon seeing the headless body
+of his own young son...
+
+649
+01:15:00,694 --> 01:15:02,559
+...the captain breaks rank.
+
+650
+01:15:02,729 --> 01:15:06,165
+He goes wild, blood-drunk.
+
+651
+01:15:30,790 --> 01:15:33,281
+The captain's cries of pain
+at the loss of his son...
+
+652
+01:15:33,460 --> 01:15:37,191
+...are more frightening to the enemy
+than the deepest battle drums.
+
+653
+01:15:37,364 --> 01:15:41,357
+It takes three men to restrain him
+and bring him back to our own.
+
+654
+01:15:41,701 --> 01:15:44,033
+The day is ours.
+
+655
+01:15:44,437 --> 01:15:47,099
+No songs are sung.
+
+656
+01:16:27,213 --> 01:16:31,809
+Your gods were cruel to shape you so,
+friend Ephialtes.
+
+657
+01:16:34,220 --> 01:16:35,517
+The Spartans, too...
+
+658
+01:16:36,256 --> 01:16:39,157
+...were cruel to reject you.
+
+659
+01:16:41,995 --> 01:16:44,429
+But I am kind.
+
+660
+01:16:50,937 --> 01:16:53,064
+Everything you could ever desire...
+
+661
+01:16:54,307 --> 01:16:56,070
+...every happiness you can imagine...
+
+662
+01:16:58,278 --> 01:17:02,874
+...every pleasure your fellow Greeks
+and your false gods have denied you...
+
+663
+01:17:03,683 --> 01:17:05,947
+...I will grant you.
+
+664
+01:17:07,220 --> 01:17:09,620
+For I am kind.
+
+665
+01:17:23,570 --> 01:17:26,869
+Embrace me as your king
+and as your god.
+
+666
+01:17:28,007 --> 01:17:29,702
+Yes.
+
+667
+01:17:31,177 --> 01:17:35,978
+Lead my soldiers to the hidden path
+that enters behind the cursed Spartans...
+
+668
+01:17:36,149 --> 01:17:38,413
+...and your joys will be endless.
+
+669
+01:17:46,860 --> 01:17:50,023
+Yes! I want it all.
+
+670
+01:17:50,463 --> 01:17:54,024
+Wealth. Women.
+
+671
+01:17:56,035 --> 01:17:57,730
+And one more thing...
+
+672
+01:18:00,907 --> 01:18:03,569
+...I want a uniform.
+
+673
+01:18:08,081 --> 01:18:09,776
+Done.
+
+674
+01:18:11,417 --> 01:18:13,112
+You will find...
+
+675
+01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,654
+...I am kind.
+
+676
+01:18:16,789 --> 01:18:21,021
+Unlike the cruel Leonidas,
+who demanded that you stand...
+
+677
+01:18:23,129 --> 01:18:24,824
+...I require only...
+
+678
+01:18:25,565 --> 01:18:26,998
+...that you kneel.
+
+679
+01:18:54,661 --> 01:18:56,595
+Beautiful night.
+
+680
+01:18:58,031 --> 01:19:02,024
+Yes, but I did not ask you here
+for small talk, Theron.
+
+681
+01:19:02,669 --> 01:19:04,762
+You can be sure of that.
+
+682
+01:19:06,172 --> 01:19:08,834
+You never spared words with me.
+
+683
+01:19:09,409 --> 01:19:12,674
+Can I offer you something?
+A drink, perhaps?
+
+684
+01:19:12,845 --> 01:19:14,676
+Is it poison?
+
+685
+01:19:15,081 --> 01:19:17,845
+I'm sorry to disappoint you,
+it's only water.
+
+686
+01:19:27,627 --> 01:19:30,790
+I'm told it's been arranged for you
+to go before the council.
+
+687
+01:19:31,464 --> 01:19:33,193
+Yes.
+
+688
+01:19:33,399 --> 01:19:36,732
+I need your help in winning votes
+to send the army north to our king.
+
+689
+01:19:37,303 --> 01:19:38,930
+Yes.
+
+690
+01:19:39,606 --> 01:19:42,166
+I can see it,
+the two of us standing together.
+
+691
+01:19:42,342 --> 01:19:46,711
+Me, politician. You, warrior.
+Our voices as one.
+
+692
+01:19:48,047 --> 01:19:49,514
+But why would I want to do that?
+
+693
+01:19:50,483 --> 01:19:54,442
+It proves you care for a king who right now
+fights for the very water we drink.
+
+694
+01:19:54,787 --> 01:19:56,379
+True.
+
+695
+01:19:56,756 --> 01:19:59,384
+But this is politics, not war.
+
+696
+01:19:59,692 --> 01:20:01,216
+Leonidas is an idealist.
+
+697
+01:20:01,628 --> 01:20:05,564
+I know your kind too well. You send men
+to slaughter for your own gain.
+
+698
+01:20:05,732 --> 01:20:10,635
+Your husband, our king,
+has taken 300 of our finest to slaughter.
+
+699
+01:20:10,803 --> 01:20:15,433
+He's broken our laws
+and left without the council's consent.
+
+700
+01:20:15,942 --> 01:20:18,934
+- I'm simply a realist.
+- You're an opportunist.
+
+701
+01:20:19,912 --> 01:20:24,212
+You're as foolish as Leonidas if you think
+men don't have a price in this world.
+
+702
+01:20:24,384 --> 01:20:28,946
+All men are not created equal.
+That's the Spartan code, my little queen.
+
+703
+01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:35,025
+I admire your passion.
+
+704
+01:20:36,362 --> 01:20:38,091
+But don't think that you...
+
+705
+01:20:38,531 --> 01:20:40,863
+...a woman, even a queen...
+
+706
+01:20:41,034 --> 01:20:44,970
+...can walk into the council chamber
+and sway the minds of men.
+
+707
+01:20:45,138 --> 01:20:47,572
+I own that chamber...
+
+708
+01:20:47,740 --> 01:20:49,799
+...as if it were built with these hands.
+
+709
+01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,807
+I could crush
+the life out of you right now.
+
+710
+01:20:58,885 --> 01:21:02,548
+You will go before the council,
+but your words will fall on deaf ears.
+
+711
+01:21:02,722 --> 01:21:08,490
+Leonidas will receive no reinforcements,
+and if he returns, without my help...
+
+712
+01:21:08,661 --> 01:21:11,630
+...he will go to jail or worse.
+
+713
+01:21:15,368 --> 01:21:16,835
+Do you love your Sparta?
+
+714
+01:21:17,337 --> 01:21:19,032
+Yes.
+
+715
+01:21:19,205 --> 01:21:21,469
+- And your king?
+- I do.
+
+716
+01:21:27,313 --> 01:21:31,010
+Your husband fights for his land
+and his love.
+
+717
+01:21:31,684 --> 01:21:33,982
+What do you have to offer...
+
+718
+01:21:34,754 --> 01:21:37,723
+...in return for my word
+that I'll help you send our army north?
+
+719
+01:21:41,694 --> 01:21:44,356
+What does a realist want with his queen?
+
+720
+01:21:48,968 --> 01:21:50,697
+I think you know.
+
+721
+01:22:05,151 --> 01:22:07,847
+This will not be over quickly.
+
+722
+01:22:08,888 --> 01:22:11,379
+You will not enjoy this.
+
+723
+01:22:11,924 --> 01:22:14,188
+I'm not your king.
+
+724
+01:22:38,985 --> 01:22:40,782
+Dilios.
+
+725
+01:22:42,789 --> 01:22:46,816
+I trust that scratch
+hasn't made you useless?
+
+726
+01:22:46,993 --> 01:22:50,019
+Hardly, my lord. It's just an eye.
+
+727
+01:22:50,196 --> 01:22:53,393
+The gods saw fit to grace me
+with a spare.
+
+728
+01:22:55,268 --> 01:22:57,202
+My captain?
+
+729
+01:22:58,504 --> 01:23:02,304
+Curses the gods and mourns alone.
+
+730
+01:23:04,277 --> 01:23:06,245
+Leonidas!
+
+731
+01:23:07,447 --> 01:23:10,439
+We are undone.
+Undone, I tell you. Destroyed.
+
+732
+01:23:10,616 --> 01:23:12,049
+Daxos, calm yourself.
+
+733
+01:23:12,218 --> 01:23:15,813
+Our hunchback traitor led Xerxes' Immortals
+to the hidden goat path behind us.
+
+734
+01:23:16,222 --> 01:23:19,055
+The Phocians you posted there
+were scattered without a fight.
+
+735
+01:23:19,225 --> 01:23:24,458
+- This battle is over, Leonidas.
+- This battle is over when I say it is over.
+
+736
+01:23:24,630 --> 01:23:28,999
+By morning, the Immortals will surround us.
+The Hot Gates will fall.
+
+737
+01:23:29,635 --> 01:23:34,004
+Spartans! Prepare for glory!
+
+738
+01:23:34,173 --> 01:23:37,370
+Glory? Have you gone mad?
+
+739
+01:23:37,543 --> 01:23:39,101
+There is no glory to be had now.
+
+740
+01:23:39,712 --> 01:23:43,307
+Only retreat or surrender. Or death.
+
+741
+01:23:43,483 --> 01:23:46,646
+Well, that's an easy choice
+for us, Arcadian.
+
+742
+01:23:46,819 --> 01:23:52,314
+Spartans never retreat.
+Spartans never surrender.
+
+743
+01:23:52,925 --> 01:23:55,018
+Go spread the word.
+
+744
+01:23:55,261 --> 01:23:58,924
+Let every Greek assembled
+know the truth of this.
+
+745
+01:23:59,098 --> 01:24:01,931
+Let each among them
+search his own soul.
+
+746
+01:24:03,636 --> 01:24:07,766
+And while you're at it, search your own.
+
+747
+01:24:15,281 --> 01:24:17,545
+My men will leave with me.
+
+748
+01:24:22,889 --> 01:24:25,119
+Godspeed, Leonidas.
+
+749
+01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:33,022
+Children!
+
+750
+01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,331
+Children.
+
+751
+01:24:36,369 --> 01:24:38,360
+Gather round.
+
+752
+01:24:40,239 --> 01:24:43,504
+No retreat, no surrender.
+
+753
+01:24:43,676 --> 01:24:47,544
+That is Spartan law.
+
+754
+01:24:47,780 --> 01:24:52,843
+And by Spartan law,
+we will stand and fight...
+
+755
+01:24:53,019 --> 01:24:55,010
+...and die.
+
+756
+01:24:58,457 --> 01:25:01,949
+A new age has begun.
+
+757
+01:25:03,696 --> 01:25:06,824
+An age of freedom.
+
+758
+01:25:07,900 --> 01:25:11,563
+And all will know that 300 Spartans...
+
+759
+01:25:11,737 --> 01:25:15,002
+...gave their last breath to defend it.
+
+760
+01:25:35,294 --> 01:25:37,057
+My friend.
+
+761
+01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:46,163
+I have lived my entire life
+without regret until now.
+
+762
+01:25:49,542 --> 01:25:55,481
+It's not that my son
+gave up his life for his country.
+
+763
+01:25:57,383 --> 01:26:01,251
+It's just that I never told him
+that I loved him the most.
+
+764
+01:26:02,855 --> 01:26:05,722
+That he stood by me with honor.
+
+765
+01:26:07,159 --> 01:26:10,094
+That he was all that was best in me.
+
+766
+01:26:19,205 --> 01:26:21,730
+My heart is broken for your loss.
+
+767
+01:26:22,475 --> 01:26:24,170
+Heart?
+
+768
+01:26:29,248 --> 01:26:32,342
+I have filled my heart...
+
+769
+01:26:32,518 --> 01:26:34,247
+...with hate.
+
+770
+01:26:38,391 --> 01:26:40,052
+Good.
+
+771
+01:26:49,201 --> 01:26:51,032
+Dilios...
+
+772
+01:26:52,738 --> 01:26:54,865
+...let's take a walk.
+
+773
+01:26:56,342 --> 01:26:58,401
+Yes, my lord.
+
+774
+01:27:00,813 --> 01:27:03,475
+But, sire, I am fit and ready for battle.
+
+775
+01:27:03,649 --> 01:27:06,777
+That you are, one of the finest.
+
+776
+01:27:07,086 --> 01:27:10,681
+But you have another talent
+unlike any other Spartan.
+
+777
+01:27:13,392 --> 01:27:16,828
+You will deliver my final orders
+to the council...
+
+778
+01:27:16,996 --> 01:27:19,487
+...with force and verve.
+
+779
+01:27:22,001 --> 01:27:24,265
+Tell them our story.
+
+780
+01:27:24,437 --> 01:27:28,965
+Make every Greek know
+what happened here.
+
+781
+01:27:29,809 --> 01:27:32,437
+You'll have a grand tale to tell.
+
+782
+01:27:34,246 --> 01:27:35,941
+A tale of victory.
+
+783
+01:27:36,615 --> 01:27:38,173
+Victory.
+
+784
+01:27:42,221 --> 01:27:44,212
+Yes, my lord.
+
+785
+01:27:49,895 --> 01:27:52,261
+Sire, any message...?
+
+786
+01:27:55,134 --> 01:27:56,499
+For the queen?
+
+787
+01:28:18,958 --> 01:28:21,392
+None that need be spoken.
+
+788
+01:28:36,509 --> 01:28:38,909
+Hundreds leave.
+
+789
+01:28:39,545 --> 01:28:41,979
+A handful stay.
+
+790
+01:28:47,153 --> 01:28:49,781
+Only one looks back.
+
+791
+01:29:00,099 --> 01:29:02,294
+Spartans!
+
+792
+01:29:03,369 --> 01:29:06,532
+Ready your breakfast and eat hearty...
+
+793
+01:29:06,705 --> 01:29:10,641
+...for tonight we dine in hell!
+
+794
+01:29:19,518 --> 01:29:22,180
+May I give the floor now...
+
+795
+01:29:22,354 --> 01:29:26,791
+...to the wife of Leonidas
+and queen of Sparta.
+
+796
+01:29:38,504 --> 01:29:40,233
+- What's this?
+- This is nothing.
+
+797
+01:29:40,406 --> 01:29:42,237
+Councilmen...
+
+798
+01:29:42,408 --> 01:29:46,174
+...I stand before you
+not only as your queen.
+
+799
+01:29:47,046 --> 01:29:49,776
+I come to you as a mother.
+
+800
+01:29:51,050 --> 01:29:53,450
+I come to you as a wife.
+
+801
+01:29:55,254 --> 01:29:57,779
+I come to you as a Spartan woman.
+
+802
+01:30:02,795 --> 01:30:05,889
+I come to you with great humility.
+
+803
+01:30:09,335 --> 01:30:11,735
+I am not here to represent Leonidas.
+
+804
+01:30:11,904 --> 01:30:14,668
+His actions speak louder
+than my words ever could.
+
+805
+01:30:15,007 --> 01:30:17,407
+I am here for all those voices
+which cannot be heard.
+
+806
+01:30:17,576 --> 01:30:20,101
+Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons.
+
+807
+01:30:20,279 --> 01:30:23,248
+Three hundred families
+that bleed for our rights...
+
+808
+01:30:23,682 --> 01:30:26,879
+...and for the very principles
+this room was built upon.
+
+809
+01:30:27,486 --> 01:30:29,579
+We are at war, gentlemen.
+
+810
+01:30:30,022 --> 01:30:32,547
+We must send the entire Spartan army
+to aid our king...
+
+811
+01:30:32,725 --> 01:30:35,819
+...in the preservation of not
+just ourselves, but of our children.
+
+812
+01:30:36,395 --> 01:30:39,523
+Send the army
+for the preservation of liberty.
+
+813
+01:30:39,698 --> 01:30:42,030
+Send it for justice.
+
+814
+01:30:42,201 --> 01:30:43,828
+Send it for law and order.
+
+815
+01:30:44,370 --> 01:30:46,565
+Send it for reason.
+
+816
+01:30:46,739 --> 01:30:50,835
+But most importantly,
+send our army for hope.
+
+817
+01:30:51,010 --> 01:30:54,571
+Hope that a king and his men have not
+been wasted to the pages of history.
+
+818
+01:30:55,414 --> 01:30:58,850
+That their courage bonds us together.
+
+819
+01:30:59,151 --> 01:31:02,348
+That we are made stronger
+by their actions...
+
+820
+01:31:03,355 --> 01:31:07,451
+...and that your choices today
+reflect their bravery.
+
+821
+01:31:09,395 --> 01:31:11,056
+Three hundred.
+
+822
+01:31:13,399 --> 01:31:15,230
+We must send them.
+
+823
+01:31:19,004 --> 01:31:20,835
+Moving...
+
+824
+01:31:21,173 --> 01:31:24,074
+...eloquent, passionate.
+
+825
+01:31:24,476 --> 01:31:28,640
+But it doesn't change the fact
+that your husband has brought war upon us.
+
+826
+01:31:28,814 --> 01:31:31,248
+You are wrong.
+Xerxes brought it forth...
+
+827
+01:31:31,417 --> 01:31:33,885
+...and before that,
+his father Darius at Marathon.
+
+828
+01:31:34,053 --> 01:31:35,782
+The Persians will not stop...
+
+829
+01:31:35,955 --> 01:31:39,322
+...until the only shelter we will find
+is rubble and chaos.
+
+830
+01:31:39,725 --> 01:31:43,456
+This chamber needs no
+history lesson, my queen.
+
+831
+01:31:43,963 --> 01:31:46,158
+Then what is the lesson
+you would like to leave?
+
+832
+01:31:46,332 --> 01:31:48,425
+Shall I begin to enumerate all of them?
+
+833
+01:31:48,834 --> 01:31:52,270
+Honor. Duty. Glory.
+
+834
+01:31:52,538 --> 01:31:57,566
+You speak of honor, duty and glory?
+
+835
+01:31:58,877 --> 01:32:00,105
+But what of adultery?
+
+836
+01:32:00,279 --> 01:32:02,747
+- How dare you.
+- How dare I?
+
+837
+01:32:03,182 --> 01:32:06,174
+Watch her carefully.
+
+838
+01:32:06,352 --> 01:32:09,321
+She is a trickster in true form.
+
+839
+01:32:09,488 --> 01:32:12,651
+Do not play with the members
+of this sacred chamber, my queen.
+
+840
+01:32:12,825 --> 01:32:15,919
+Just hours ago,
+you offered yourself to me.
+
+841
+01:32:16,095 --> 01:32:20,532
+Were I a weaker man,
+I would have her scent on me still.
+
+842
+01:32:20,699 --> 01:32:23,691
+- This is outrage.
+- Oh, the hypocrite speaks!
+
+843
+01:32:23,869 --> 01:32:26,861
+Did you not receive a similar payment,
+which you took...
+
+844
+01:32:27,039 --> 01:32:30,270
+...in exchange for her having an audience
+with these noble men?
+
+845
+01:32:30,442 --> 01:32:32,205
+- That is a lie.
+- Is it?
+
+846
+01:32:32,378 --> 01:32:36,144
+Was he not, by your invitation,
+asked to come to the king's bedchamber?
+
+847
+01:32:36,682 --> 01:32:41,312
+The very bed where you attempted
+to negotiate with me so vigorously?
+
+848
+01:32:43,956 --> 01:32:47,414
+You look shocked.
+A bribe of the flesh, gentlemen...
+
+849
+01:32:47,593 --> 01:32:50,892
+...while her husband
+promotes anarchy and war.
+
+850
+01:32:53,832 --> 01:32:55,026
+He speaks truth.
+
+851
+01:32:55,634 --> 01:32:58,831
+Words escape
+even the most cunning tongue...
+
+852
+01:32:59,004 --> 01:33:01,063
+...my little whore queen.
+
+853
+01:33:05,811 --> 01:33:07,642
+What queen-like behavior.
+
+854
+01:33:09,348 --> 01:33:12,476
+Remove her from this chamber
+before she infects us further...
+
+855
+01:33:12,651 --> 01:33:15,643
+...with her inglorious and shabby self.
+
+856
+01:33:22,461 --> 01:33:24,053
+This will not be over quickly.
+
+857
+01:33:25,397 --> 01:33:28,924
+You will not enjoy this.
+I am not your queen.
+
+858
+01:33:51,090 --> 01:33:53,024
+Traitor.
+
+859
+01:33:53,559 --> 01:33:58,360
+Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
+
+860
+01:33:58,630 --> 01:34:00,894
+Traitor!
+
+861
+01:34:37,936 --> 01:34:43,932
+Leonidas, my compliments
+and congratulations.
+
+862
+01:34:44,109 --> 01:34:47,772
+You surely have turned calamity
+into victory.
+
+863
+01:34:47,946 --> 01:34:50,938
+Despite your insufferable arrogance...
+
+864
+01:34:51,116 --> 01:34:55,280
+...the god-king has come to admire
+Spartan valor and fighting skill.
+
+865
+01:34:56,021 --> 01:34:57,386
+You will make a mighty ally.
+
+866
+01:34:57,556 --> 01:34:59,285
+Yield, Leonidas.
+
+867
+01:35:00,459 --> 01:35:03,326
+Use your reason. Think of your men.
+
+868
+01:35:06,165 --> 01:35:07,792
+I beg you.
+
+869
+01:35:08,367 --> 01:35:10,335
+Listen to your fellow Greek.
+
+870
+01:35:10,502 --> 01:35:14,199
+He can attest
+to the divine one's generosity.
+
+871
+01:35:14,373 --> 01:35:18,833
+Despite your several insults,
+despite your horrid blasphemies...
+
+872
+01:35:19,745 --> 01:35:22,942
+...the lord of hosts
+is prepared to forgive all...
+
+873
+01:35:23,182 --> 01:35:26,208
+...and more, to reward your service.
+
+874
+01:35:26,485 --> 01:35:27,816
+You fight for your lands.
+
+875
+01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,351
+Keep them.
+
+876
+01:35:31,056 --> 01:35:33,024
+You fight for Sparta.
+
+877
+01:35:33,192 --> 01:35:37,185
+She will be wealthier and more powerful
+than ever before.
+
+878
+01:35:37,396 --> 01:35:39,330
+You fight for your kingship.
+
+879
+01:35:40,232 --> 01:35:43,201
+You will be proclaimed warlord
+of all Greece...
+
+880
+01:35:43,368 --> 01:35:47,668
+...answerable only
+to the one true master of the world.
+
+881
+01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:52,773
+Leonidas, your victory will be complete...
+
+882
+01:35:52,945 --> 01:35:55,539
+...if you but lay down your arms...
+
+883
+01:35:55,714 --> 01:35:58,877
+...and kneel to holy Xerxes.
+
+884
+01:36:29,381 --> 01:36:34,318
+It's been more than 30 years
+since the wolf in the winter cold.
+
+885
+01:36:34,486 --> 01:36:39,048
+And now, as then,
+it's not fear that grips him...
+
+886
+01:36:39,224 --> 01:36:44,389
+...only restlessness.
+A heightened sense of things.
+
+887
+01:36:45,163 --> 01:36:49,964
+The seaborne breeze coolly kissing
+the sweat at his chest and neck.
+
+888
+01:36:50,135 --> 01:36:51,625
+Gulls cawing...
+
+889
+01:36:51,803 --> 01:36:56,035
+...complaining even as they feast
+on the thousands of floating dead.
+
+890
+01:36:57,643 --> 01:37:02,706
+The steady breathing
+of the 300 at his back...
+
+891
+01:37:03,482 --> 01:37:06,940
+...ready to die for him
+without a moment's pause.
+
+892
+01:37:09,554 --> 01:37:10,919
+Every one of them...
+
+893
+01:37:12,391 --> 01:37:14,325
+...ready to die.
+
+894
+01:37:29,841 --> 01:37:32,776
+His helmet is stifling.
+
+895
+01:37:53,465 --> 01:37:56,298
+His shield is heavy.
+
+896
+01:38:03,909 --> 01:38:05,274
+Your spear.
+
+897
+01:38:14,086 --> 01:38:15,519
+You there...
+
+898
+01:38:15,954 --> 01:38:17,945
+...Ephialtes.
+
+899
+01:38:23,061 --> 01:38:25,325
+May you live forever.
+
+900
+01:38:32,738 --> 01:38:35,036
+Leonidas, your spear.
+
+901
+01:39:42,274 --> 01:39:43,866
+Stelios!
+
+902
+01:39:53,885 --> 01:39:55,477
+Slaughter them!
+
+903
+01:39:58,857 --> 01:40:00,449
+His helmet was stifling.
+
+904
+01:40:00,625 --> 01:40:03,753
+It narrowed his vision,
+and he must see far.
+
+905
+01:40:05,063 --> 01:40:08,931
+His shield was heavy.
+It threw him off balance...
+
+906
+01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:12,763
+...and his target is far away.
+
+907
+01:41:17,335 --> 01:41:21,897
+The old ones say we Spartans are
+descended from Hercules himself.
+
+908
+01:41:23,375 --> 01:41:27,709
+Bold Leonidas gives testament
+to our bloodline.
+
+909
+01:41:27,879 --> 01:41:32,009
+His roar is long and loud.
+
+910
+01:42:02,113 --> 01:42:03,705
+My king.
+
+911
+01:42:15,961 --> 01:42:19,590
+It's an honor to die at your side.
+
+912
+01:42:21,166 --> 01:42:25,660
+It's an honor to have lived at yours.
+
+913
+01:42:46,591 --> 01:42:48,684
+My queen!
+
+914
+01:42:56,935 --> 01:42:58,664
+My wife.
+
+915
+01:43:10,115 --> 01:43:11,912
+My love.
+
+916
+01:45:38,329 --> 01:45:40,456
+"Remember us."
+
+917
+01:45:42,133 --> 01:45:45,569
+As simple an order
+as a king can give.
+
+918
+01:45:47,138 --> 01:45:50,335
+"Remember why we died."
+
+919
+01:45:52,343 --> 01:45:56,370
+For he did not wish tribute or song...
+
+920
+01:45:58,216 --> 01:46:02,414
+...nor monuments,
+nor poems of war and valor.
+
+921
+01:46:05,290 --> 01:46:07,588
+His wish was simple.
+
+922
+01:46:12,964 --> 01:46:15,023
+"Remember us"...
+
+923
+01:46:16,067 --> 01:46:17,796
+...he said to me.
+
+924
+01:46:19,470 --> 01:46:21,665
+That was his hope.
+
+925
+01:46:21,873 --> 01:46:25,604
+Should any free soul
+come across that place...
+
+926
+01:46:26,377 --> 01:46:29,710
+...in all the countless
+centuries yet to be...
+
+927
+01:46:30,148 --> 01:46:32,708
+...may all our voices...
+
+928
+01:46:32,884 --> 01:46:36,945
+...whisper to you
+from the ageless stones.
+
+929
+01:46:37,922 --> 01:46:41,551
+Go tell the Spartans, passerby...
+
+930
+01:46:41,893 --> 01:46:47,763
+...that here, by Spartan law,
+we lie.
+
+931
+01:46:50,535 --> 01:46:53,231
+And so my king died...
+
+932
+01:46:54,105 --> 01:46:56,733
+...and my brothers died...
+
+933
+01:46:59,110 --> 01:47:01,578
+...barely a year ago.
+
+934
+01:47:05,516 --> 01:47:10,749
+Long I pondered my king's
+cryptic talk of victory.
+
+935
+01:47:10,989 --> 01:47:13,617
+Time has proven him wise.
+
+936
+01:47:14,525 --> 01:47:17,551
+For from free Greek to free Greek...
+
+937
+01:47:17,729 --> 01:47:22,325
+...the word was spread
+that bold Leonidas and his 300...
+
+938
+01:47:22,500 --> 01:47:24,491
+...so far from home...
+
+939
+01:47:24,669 --> 01:47:28,070
+...laid down their lives
+not just for Sparta...
+
+940
+01:47:28,239 --> 01:47:32,039
+...but for all Greece
+and the promise this country holds.
+
+941
+01:47:32,944 --> 01:47:38,007
+Now, here on this rugged patch of earth
+called Plataea...
+
+942
+01:47:38,182 --> 01:47:43,176
+...Xerxes' hordes face obliteration!
+
+943
+01:47:44,856 --> 01:47:48,257
+Just there the barbarians huddle...
+
+944
+01:47:48,426 --> 01:47:53,295
+...sheer terror gripping tight
+their hearts...
+
+945
+01:47:53,464 --> 01:47:55,364
+...with icy fingers...
+
+946
+01:47:55,533 --> 01:47:58,764
+...knowing full well
+what merciless horrors they suffered...
+
+947
+01:47:58,937 --> 01:48:01,462
+...at the swords and spears of 300.
+
+948
+01:48:02,874 --> 01:48:08,437
+Yet they stare now across the plain
+at 10,000 Spartans...
+
+949
+01:48:08,613 --> 01:48:11,912
+...commanding 30,000 free Greeks!
+
+950
+01:48:18,723 --> 01:48:22,625
+The enemy outnumber us
+a paltry three to one.
+
+951
+01:48:22,927 --> 01:48:24,918
+Good odds for any Greek.
+
+952
+01:48:25,630 --> 01:48:30,329
+This day, we rescue a world
+from mysticism and tyranny...
+
+953
+01:48:30,501 --> 01:48:34,870
+...and usher in a future
+brighter than anything we can imagine.
+
+954
+01:48:39,310 --> 01:48:40,800
+Give thanks, men...
+
+955
+01:48:41,512 --> 01:48:45,278
+...to Leonidas and the brave 300!.
+
+956
+01:48:45,450 --> 01:48:48,180
+To Victory!

-00:02:01,471 --> 00:02:06,340
-Taught that death on the battlefield
-in service to Sparta...
-
-8
-00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:09,842
-...was the greatest glory
-he could achieve in his life.
-
-9
-00:02:24,994 --> 00:02:29,522
-At age 7,
-as is customary in Sparta...
-
-10
-00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:34,864
-...the boy was taken from his mother
-and plunged into a world of violence.
-
-11
-00:02:35,672 --> 00:02:40,200
-Manufactured by 300 years
-of Spartan warrior society...
-
-12
-00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:45,544
-...to create the finest soldiers
-the world has ever known.
-
-13
-00:02:45,715 --> 00:02:50,277
-The agoge, as it's called,
-forces the boy to fight.
-
-14
-00:02:50,453 --> 00:02:54,082
-Starves them,
-forces them to steal...
-
-15
-00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:58,626
-...and if necessary, to kill.
-
-16
-00:02:59,696 --> 00:03:02,688
-By rod and lash
-the boy was punished...
-
-17
-00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:06,165
-...taught to show no pain,
-no mercy.
-
-18
-00:03:07,871 --> 00:03:11,363
-Constantly tested,
-tossed into the wild.
-
-19
-00:03:11,541 --> 00:03:16,843
-Left to pit his wits and will
-against nature's fury.
-
-20
-00:03:17,213 --> 00:03:19,408
-It was his initiation...
-
-21
-00:03:19,582 --> 00:03:22,142
-...his time in the wild...
-
-22
-00:03:22,318 --> 00:03:26,812
-...for he would return
-to his people a Spartan...
-
-23
-00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:29,117
-...or not at all.
-
-24
-00:03:51,447 --> 00:03:54,314
-The wolf begins to circle the boy.
-
-25
-00:03:54,484 --> 00:03:56,918
-Claws of black steel...
-
-26
-00:03:57,086 --> 00:03:59,316
-...fur as dark night.
-
-27
-00:03:59,822 --> 00:04:01,153
-Eyes glowing red...
-
-28
-00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:05,260
-...jewels from
-the pit of hell itself.
-
-29
-00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:17,996
-The giant wolf sniffing...
-
-30
-00:04:18,174 --> 00:04:21,234
-...savoring the scent
-of the meal to come.
-
-31
-00:04:45,401 --> 00:04:46,925
-It's not fear that grips him...
-
-32
-00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:50,700
-...only a heightened
-sense of things.
-
-33
-00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,407
-The cold air in his lungs.
-
-34
-00:04:54,978 --> 00:04:58,311
-Windswept pines
-moving against the coming night.
-
-35
-00:05:06,322 --> 00:05:08,722
-His hands are steady.
-
-36
-00:05:08,891 --> 00:05:11,155
-His form...
-
-37
-00:05:11,327 --> 00:05:13,420
-...perfect.
-
-38
-00:05:39,222 --> 00:05:41,952
-And so the boy,
-given up for dead...
-
-39
-00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:46,858
-...returns to his people,
-to sacred Sparta, a king!
-
-40
-00:05:47,296 --> 00:05:51,027
-Our king, Leonidas!
-
-41
-00:05:56,939 --> 00:06:00,705
-It's been more than 30 years
-since the wolf and the winter cold.
-
-42
-00:06:02,111 --> 00:06:06,411
-And now, as then, a beast approaches.
-
-43
-00:06:06,582 --> 00:06:11,519
-Patient and confident,
-savoring the meal to come.
-
-44
-00:06:12,155 --> 00:06:15,454
-But this beast
-is made of men and horses...
-
-45
-00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,423
-...swords and spears.
-
-46
-00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:23,588
-An army of slaves, vast beyond imagining,
-ready to devour tiny Greece.
-
-47
-00:06:23,933 --> 00:06:28,700
-Ready to snuff out the world's
-one hope for reason and justice.
-
-48
-00:06:31,441 --> 00:06:34,205
-A beast approaches...
-
-49
-00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:42,508
-...and it was King Leonidas himself
-who provoked it.
-
-50
-00:07:53,156 --> 00:07:54,987
-That's it.
-
-51
-00:07:55,324 --> 00:08:00,193
-Now, the more you sweat here,
-the less you'll bleed in battle.
-
-52
-00:08:01,397 --> 00:08:03,865
-My father taught me...
-
-53
-00:08:04,033 --> 00:08:06,501
-...that fear is always a constant.
-
-54
-00:08:06,669 --> 00:08:08,193
-But accepting it...
-
-55
-00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:09,697
-...makes you stronger.
-
-56
-00:08:09,872 --> 00:08:11,237
-My queen.
-
-57
-00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:14,240
-A Persian emissary awaits Leonidas.
-
-58
-00:08:16,779 --> 00:08:18,178
-In the end...
-
-59
-00:08:18,347 --> 00:08:21,908
-...a Spartan's true strength
-is the warrior next to him.
-
-60
-00:08:22,685 --> 00:08:27,179
-So give respect and honor to him,
-and it will be returned to you.
-
-61
-00:08:27,723 --> 00:08:29,213
-First...
-
-62
-00:08:29,992 --> 00:08:32,927
-- ...you fight with your head.
-- Then you fight with your heart.
-
-63
-00:08:35,264 --> 00:08:36,959
-What is it?
-
-64
-00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,065
-A Persian messenger awaits you.
-
-65
-00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:42,837
-Do not forget today's lesson.
-
-66
-00:08:43,005 --> 00:08:45,701
-- Respect and honor.
-- Respect and honor.
-
-67
-00:09:01,224 --> 00:09:05,684
-Councilman Theron.
-You found yourself needed, for once.
-
-68
-00:09:06,762 --> 00:09:09,697
-My king and queen,
-I was just entertaining your guests.
-
-69
-00:09:09,899 --> 00:09:11,127
-I'm sure.
-
-70
-00:09:12,368 --> 00:09:14,199
-Before you speak, Persian...
-
-71
-00:09:14,370 --> 00:09:17,635
-...know that in Sparta everyone,
-even a king's messenger...
-
-72
-00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:20,401
-...is held accountable
-for the words of his voice.
-
-73
-00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:24,140
-Now, what message do you bring?
-
-74
-00:09:25,248 --> 00:09:27,716
-Earth and water.
-
-75
-00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:33,615
-You rode all the way from Persia
-for earth and water?
-
-76
-00:09:35,191 --> 00:09:39,093
-Do not be coy or stupid, Persian.
-You can afford neither in Sparta.
-
-77
-00:09:39,595 --> 00:09:42,063
-What makes this woman
-think she can speak among men?
-
-78
-00:09:42,231 --> 00:09:45,064
-Because only Spartan women
-give birth to real men.
-
-79
-00:09:46,569 --> 00:09:50,164
-Let us walk to cool our tongues.
-
-80
-00:09:52,775 --> 00:09:55,938
-If you value your lives
-over your complete annihilation...
-
-81
-00:09:56,112 --> 00:09:57,773
-...listen carefully, Leonidas.
-
-82
-00:09:57,947 --> 00:10:02,646
-Xerxes conquers and controls
-everything he rests his eyes upon.
-
-83
-00:10:02,818 --> 00:10:05,912
-He leads an army so massive,
-it shakes the ground with its march.
-
-84
-00:10:06,088 --> 00:10:08,784
-So vast, it drinks the rivers dry.
-
-85
-00:10:08,958 --> 00:10:11,950
-All the God-King Xerxes requires is this:
-
-86
-00:10:12,295 --> 00:10:15,526
-A simple offering of earth and water...
-
-87
-00:10:15,698 --> 00:10:19,862
-...a token of Sparta's submission
-to the will of Xerxes.
-
-88
-00:10:30,913 --> 00:10:33,074
-Submission.
-
-89
-00:10:35,251 --> 00:10:37,185
-Now, that's a bit of a problem.
-
-90
-00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:38,848
-See, rumor has it...
-
-91
-00:10:39,021 --> 00:10:41,649
-...the Athenians
-have already turned you down.
-
-92
-00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:47,791
-And if those philosophers and boy-lovers
-have found that kind of nerve, then--
-
-93
-00:10:47,963 --> 00:10:52,195
-- We must be diplomatic.
-- And, of course, Spartans...
-
-94
-00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:55,294
-...have their reputation to consider.
-
-95
-00:10:55,471 --> 00:10:59,498
-Choose your next words carefully,
-Leonidas.
-
-96
-00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:02,370
-They may be your last as king.
-
-97
-00:11:42,852 --> 00:11:46,151
-"Earth and water."
-
-98
-00:11:51,427 --> 00:11:53,520
-Madman. You're a madman.
-
-99
-00:11:53,696 --> 00:11:55,357
-Earth and water.
-
-100
-00:11:55,731 --> 00:11:57,892
-You'll find plenty of both down there.
-
-101
-00:11:58,167 --> 00:12:01,603
-No man, Persian or Greek,
-no man threatens a messenger.
-
-102
-00:12:02,071 --> 00:12:07,031
-You bring the crowns and heads
-of conquered kings to my city steps.
-
-103
-00:12:07,209 --> 00:12:09,268
-You insult my queen.
-
-104
-00:12:09,445 --> 00:12:13,176
-You threaten my people
-with slavery and death.
-
-105
-00:12:13,349 --> 00:12:16,284
-Oh, I've chosen my words carefully,
-Persian.
-
-106
-00:12:16,452 --> 00:12:18,420
-Perhaps you should have done the same.
-
-107
-00:12:18,587 --> 00:12:22,250
-This is blasphemy. This is madness!
-
-108
-00:12:39,642 --> 00:12:41,701
-Madness?
-
-109
-00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:44,471
-This is Sparta!
-
-110
-00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,366
-Welcome, Leonidas.
-
-111
-00:14:13,969 --> 00:14:17,132
-We have been expecting you.
-
-112
-00:14:23,612 --> 00:14:28,948
-The ephors,
-priests to the old gods.
-
-113
-00:14:29,351 --> 00:14:31,683
-Inbred swine.
-
-114
-00:14:31,854 --> 00:14:34,618
-More creature than man.
-
-115
-00:14:35,057 --> 00:14:40,495
-Creatures whom even Leonidas
-must bribe and beg.
-
-116
-00:14:41,363 --> 00:14:46,198
-For no Spartan king has gone to war
-without the ephors' blessing.
-
-117
-00:14:47,870 --> 00:14:51,931
-The Persians claim their forces
-number in the millions.
-
-118
-00:14:52,575 --> 00:14:55,840
-I hope, for our sake, they exaggerate.
-
-119
-00:14:56,312 --> 00:15:00,544
-But there's no question, we face
-the most massive army ever assembled.
-
-120
-00:15:00,783 --> 00:15:04,116
-Before your plan is heard...
-
-121
-00:15:04,286 --> 00:15:06,550
-...what do you offer?
-
-122
-00:15:16,098 --> 00:15:20,432
-We will use
-our superior fighting skills...
-
-123
-00:15:20,603 --> 00:15:24,664
-...and the terrain of Greece herself
-to destroy them.
-
-124
-00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,673
-We will march north to the coast,
-where I will make sure--
-
-125
-00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:32,746
-It is August, Leonidas.
-The full moon approaches.
-
-126
-00:15:33,115 --> 00:15:36,312
-The sacred and ancient festival.
-
-127
-00:15:36,485 --> 00:15:40,581
-Sparta wages no war
-at the time of the Carneia.
-
-128
-00:15:40,756 --> 00:15:42,348
-Sparta will burn!
-
-129
-00:15:42,791 --> 00:15:44,315
-Her men will die at arms...
-
-130
-00:15:44,493 --> 00:15:48,156
-...and her women and children
-will be slaves or worse.
-
-131
-00:15:50,299 --> 00:15:55,362
-Now, we will block
-the Persian coastal assault...
-
-132
-00:15:55,671 --> 00:15:57,969
-...by rebuilding the great Phocian Wall.
-
-133
-00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:02,839
-And from there, we will funnel them into
-the mountain pass we call the Hot Gates.
-
-134
-00:16:03,012 --> 00:16:07,381
-Now, in that narrow corridor,
-their numbers will count for nothing.
-
-135
-00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:10,143
-And wave after wave of Persian attack...
-
-136
-00:16:10,319 --> 00:16:14,255
-...will smash against Spartan shields.
-
-137
-00:16:14,823 --> 00:16:19,123
-Xerxes' losses will be so great,
-his men so demoralized...
-
-138
-00:16:19,294 --> 00:16:23,697
-...he will have no choice
-but to abandon his campaign.
-
-139
-00:16:23,866 --> 00:16:26,562
-We must consult the oracle.
-
-140
-00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:29,863
-Trust the gods, Leonidas.
-
-141
-00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,372
-I'd prefer you trusted your reason.
-
-142
-00:16:33,542 --> 00:16:35,567
-Your blasphemies...
-
-143
-00:16:35,744 --> 00:16:40,113
-...have cost us quite enough already.
-
-144
-00:16:40,849 --> 00:16:43,875
-Don't compound them.
-
-145
-00:16:45,954 --> 00:16:50,755
-We will consult the oracle.
-
-146
-00:16:52,895 --> 00:16:55,386
-Diseased old mystics.
-
-147
-00:16:56,398 --> 00:17:01,028
-Worthless remnants of a time
-before Sparta's ascent from darkness.
-
-148
-00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:04,635
-Remnants of a senseless tradition.
-
-149
-00:17:04,807 --> 00:17:09,176
-Tradition even Leonidas
-cannot defy...
-
-150
-00:17:09,344 --> 00:17:13,747
-...for he must respect
-the word of the ephors.
-
-151
-00:17:13,916 --> 00:17:15,850
-That is the law.
-
-152
-00:17:18,887 --> 00:17:23,221
-And no Spartan, subject or citizen,
-man or woman...
-
-153
-00:17:23,392 --> 00:17:27,419
-...slave or king, is above the law.
-
-154
-00:18:02,297 --> 00:18:06,563
-The ephors choose only
-the most beautiful Spartan girls...
-
-155
-00:18:06,735 --> 00:18:09,226
-...to live among them as oracles.
-
-156
-00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:12,669
-Their beauty is their curse...
-
-157
-00:18:12,841 --> 00:18:16,641
-...for the old wretches
-have the needs of men...
-
-158
-00:18:17,646 --> 00:18:21,742
-...and souls as black as hell.
-
-159
-00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,917
-"Pray to the winds...
-
-160
-00:18:30,425 --> 00:18:32,620
-...Sparta will fall.
-
-161
-00:18:35,564 --> 00:18:39,261
-All Greece will fall.
-
-162
-00:18:41,436 --> 00:18:45,065
-Trust not in men...
-
-163
-00:18:47,109 --> 00:18:50,374
-...honor the gods.
-
-164
-00:18:54,116 --> 00:18:57,779
-Honor the Carneia."
-
-165
-00:18:59,588 --> 00:19:03,183
-The king's climb down is harder.
-
-166
-00:19:03,358 --> 00:19:06,259
-Pompous, inbred swine.
-
-167
-00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:09,659
-Worthless, diseased, rotten...
-
-168
-00:19:09,832 --> 00:19:11,857
-...corrupt.
-
-169
-00:19:15,237 --> 00:19:18,866
-Truly, you're in the god-king's
-favor now...
-
-170
-00:19:19,441 --> 00:19:21,534
-...O wise and holy men.
-
-171
-00:19:21,844 --> 00:19:23,277
-Yes.
-
-172
-00:19:23,445 --> 00:19:28,405
-And when Sparta burns,
-you shall bathe in gold.
-
-173
-00:19:28,584 --> 00:19:31,178
-Fresh oracles shall be
-delivered to you...
-
-174
-00:19:31,653 --> 00:19:33,052
-...daily...
-
-175
-00:19:33,222 --> 00:19:37,022
-...from every corner of the empire.
-
-176
-00:20:12,694 --> 00:20:16,255
-Your lips can finish
-what your fingers have started.
-
-177
-00:20:19,401 --> 00:20:21,869
-Or has the oracle robbed you
-of your desire as well?
-
-178
-00:20:23,405 --> 00:20:26,431
-It would take more than the words
-of a drunken adolescent girl...
-
-179
-00:20:26,608 --> 00:20:28,303
-...to rob me of my desire for you.
-
-180
-00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:33,948
-Then why so distant?
-
-181
-00:20:37,085 --> 00:20:39,076
-Because it seems...
-
-182
-00:20:39,254 --> 00:20:45,193
-...though a slave and captive
-of lecherous old men...
-
-183
-00:20:45,527 --> 00:20:48,758
-...the oracle's words
-could set fire to all that I love.
-
-184
-00:20:48,931 --> 00:20:52,594
-So that is why my king loses sleep
-and is forced from the warmth of his bed?
-
-185
-00:20:55,570 --> 00:20:59,904
-There's only one woman's words that
-should affect the mood of my husband.
-
-186
-00:21:00,742 --> 00:21:02,300
-Those are mine.
-
-187
-00:21:06,481 --> 00:21:08,881
-Then what must a king do
-to save his world...
-
-188
-00:21:09,051 --> 00:21:13,488
-...when the very laws he is sworn
-to protect force him to do nothing?
-
-189
-00:21:16,425 --> 00:21:19,758
-It is not a question
-of what a Spartan citizen should do...
-
-190
-00:21:19,928 --> 00:21:22,795
-...nor a husband, nor a king.
-
-191
-00:21:23,432 --> 00:21:26,128
-Instead ask yourself, my dearest love...
-
-192
-00:21:27,769 --> 00:21:29,760
-...what should a free man do?
-
-193
-00:22:35,237 --> 00:22:39,401
-- Is this all of them?
-- As you ordered. Three hundred.
-
-194
-00:22:40,409 --> 00:22:43,708
-All with born sons
-to carry on their name.
-
-195
-00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:55,787
-We are with you, sire.
-
-196
-00:22:56,158 --> 00:22:58,285
-For Sparta. For freedom.
-
-197
-00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:00,428
-To the death.
-
-198
-00:23:11,239 --> 00:23:12,900
-He is your son.
-
-199
-00:23:13,708 --> 00:23:16,609
-He is too young
-to have felt a woman's warmth.
-
-200
-00:23:16,778 --> 00:23:20,737
-I have others to replace him.
-Astinos is as brave and ready as any.
-
-201
-00:23:21,083 --> 00:23:25,110
-No younger than we were the first time
-you stood next to me in battle.
-
-202
-00:23:28,890 --> 00:23:31,017
-You are a good friend...
-
-203
-00:23:31,193 --> 00:23:34,685
-...but a better captain, there is none.
-
-204
-00:23:40,202 --> 00:23:42,136
-My good king.
-
-205
-00:23:43,071 --> 00:23:46,404
-My good king, the oracle has spoken.
-
-206
-00:23:46,575 --> 00:23:49,442
-The ephors have spoken.
-There must be no march.
-
-207
-00:23:49,611 --> 00:23:51,408
-It is the law, my lord.
-
-208
-00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:55,573
-- The Spartan army must not go to war.
-- Nor shall it.
-
-209
-00:23:56,485 --> 00:23:58,077
-I've issued no such orders.
-
-210
-00:23:58,453 --> 00:24:01,980
-I'm here just taking a stroll,
-stretching my legs.
-
-211
-00:24:02,224 --> 00:24:07,389
-These 300 men
-are my personal bodyguard.
-
-212
-00:24:07,662 --> 00:24:09,823
-Our army will stay in Sparta.
-
-213
-00:24:10,432 --> 00:24:11,763
-Where will you go?
-
-214
-00:24:14,736 --> 00:24:16,966
-I hadn't really thought about it...
-
-215
-00:24:17,772 --> 00:24:19,933
-...but now that you ask...
-
-216
-00:24:20,108 --> 00:24:22,838
-...I suppose I'll head north.
-
-217
-00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:25,371
-The Hot Gates?
-
-218
-00:24:28,016 --> 00:24:30,416
-Move out!
-
-219
-00:24:30,619 --> 00:24:32,678
-Move out!
-
-220
-00:24:33,822 --> 00:24:35,414
-What shall we do?
-
-221
-00:24:36,958 --> 00:24:38,289
-What can we do?
-
-222
-00:24:38,994 --> 00:24:40,723
-What can you do?
-
-223
-00:24:43,765 --> 00:24:47,599
-Sparta will need sons.
-
-224
-00:25:35,383 --> 00:25:37,112
-Spartan!
-
-225
-00:25:46,394 --> 00:25:47,622
-Yes, milady?
-
-226
-00:26:03,712 --> 00:26:06,010
-Come back with your shield...
-
-227
-00:26:06,948 --> 00:26:08,381
-...or on it.
-
-228
-00:26:09,851 --> 00:26:11,216
-Yes, milady.
-
-229
-00:26:19,728 --> 00:26:22,026
-"Goodbye, my love."
-
-230
-00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:24,859
-He doesn't say it.
-
-231
-00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:27,597
-There's no room for softness...
-
-232
-00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:29,760
-...not in Sparta.
-
-233
-00:26:29,938 --> 00:26:32,702
-No place for weakness.
-
-234
-00:26:36,211 --> 00:26:40,409
-Only the hard and strong
-may call themselves Spartans.
-
-235
-00:26:41,249 --> 00:26:45,743
-Only the hard. Only the strong.
-
-236
-00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,080
-We march...
-
-237
-00:27:16,785 --> 00:27:22,280
-...for our lands, for our families,
-for our freedoms.
-
-238
-00:27:23,058 --> 00:27:25,219
-We march.
-
-239
-00:27:26,961 --> 00:27:28,622
-Daxos.
-
-240
-00:27:28,797 --> 00:27:32,198
-- What a pleasant surprise.
-- This morning's full of surprises, Leonidas.
-
-241
-00:27:32,367 --> 00:27:34,767
-- We've been tricked.
-- Can't be more than a hundred.
-
-242
-00:27:34,936 --> 00:27:37,166
-- This is a surprise.
-- Silence.
-
-243
-00:27:37,605 --> 00:27:39,573
-This isn't their army.
-
-244
-00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:43,905
-We heard Sparta was on the warpath
-and we were eager to join forces.
-
-245
-00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:48,675
-If it is blood you seek,
-you are welcome to join us.
-
-246
-00:27:49,017 --> 00:27:52,248
-But you bring only this handful
-of soldiers against Xerxes?
-
-247
-00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:56,015
-I see I was wrong to expect Sparta's
-commitment to at least match our own.
-
-248
-00:27:57,192 --> 00:27:59,023
-Doesn't it?
-
-249
-00:28:00,462 --> 00:28:02,157
-You, there.
-
-250
-00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:03,824
-What is your profession?
-
-251
-00:28:04,366 --> 00:28:06,493
-I'm a potter, sir.
-
-252
-00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:11,435
-And you, Arcadian.
-What is your profession?
-
-253
-00:28:11,806 --> 00:28:15,242
-- Sculptor, sir.
-- Sculptor.
-
-254
-00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:17,544
-- And you?
-- Blacksmith.
-
-255
-00:28:22,217 --> 00:28:25,516
-Spartans! What is your profession?
-
-256
-00:28:32,694 --> 00:28:34,628
-You see, old friend?
-
-257
-00:28:34,796 --> 00:28:37,697
-I brought more soldiers than you did.
-
-258
-00:28:47,642 --> 00:28:49,439
-No sleep tonight...
-
-259
-00:28:50,512 --> 00:28:52,980
-...not for the king.
-
-260
-00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:55,378
-All his 40 years
-have been a straight road...
-
-261
-00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:59,111
-...to this one gleaming moment
-in destiny...
-
-262
-00:28:59,287 --> 00:29:02,051
-...this one radiant clash
-of shield and spear...
-
-263
-00:29:02,223 --> 00:29:05,818
-...sword and bone,
-and flesh and blood.
-
-264
-00:29:07,529 --> 00:29:09,326
-His only regret...
-
-265
-00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:13,228
-...is that he has so few
-to sacrifice.
-
-266
-00:29:34,522 --> 00:29:36,513
-We're being followed.
-
-267
-00:29:41,563 --> 00:29:43,758
-It has followed us since Sparta.
-
-268
-00:29:48,703 --> 00:29:51,695
-My king! Look!
-
-269
-00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:14,127
-What happened here?
-
-270
-00:30:14,696 --> 00:30:16,027
-Where are all the people?
-
-271
-00:30:17,131 --> 00:30:18,826
-Persians.
-
-272
-00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,797
-I put their number at around 20.
-
-273
-00:30:23,171 --> 00:30:24,536
-A scouting party.
-
-274
-00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:29,399
-But these footprints....
-
-275
-00:30:40,788 --> 00:30:42,255
-Behind us!
-
-276
-00:30:56,304 --> 00:30:57,532
-Child!
-
-277
-00:31:30,505 --> 00:31:33,235
-It's quiet now.
-
-278
-00:31:33,708 --> 00:31:35,505
-They....
-
-279
-00:31:35,877 --> 00:31:39,904
-They came with beasts
-from the blackness.
-
-280
-00:31:41,482 --> 00:31:43,746
-With their claws and fangs...
-
-281
-00:31:43,918 --> 00:31:46,148
-...they grabbed them.
-
-282
-00:31:47,055 --> 00:31:49,216
-Everyone...
-
-283
-00:31:50,224 --> 00:31:52,283
-...but me.
-
-284
-00:32:04,539 --> 00:32:06,097
-The villagers.
-
-285
-00:32:06,641 --> 00:32:08,575
-I found them.
-
-286
-00:32:20,088 --> 00:32:22,886
-Have the gods no mercy?
-
-287
-00:32:24,058 --> 00:32:26,083
-We are doomed.
-
-288
-00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:28,888
-Quiet yourself.
-
-289
-00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:37,533
-The child speaks of the Persian ghosts,
-known from the ancient times.
-
-290
-00:32:38,406 --> 00:32:41,102
-They are the hunters of men's souls.
-
-291
-00:32:42,143 --> 00:32:44,771
-They cannot be killed or defeated.
-
-292
-00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:49,544
-Not this darkness. Not these Immortals.
-
-293
-00:32:51,719 --> 00:32:53,914
-Immortals?
-
-294
-00:32:54,222 --> 00:32:57,282
-We'll put their name to the test.
-
-295
-00:33:19,347 --> 00:33:22,111
-Into the Hot Gates we march.
-
-296
-00:33:22,283 --> 00:33:25,582
-Into that narrow corridor
-we march...
-
-297
-00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:28,017
-...where Xerxes' numbers
-count for nothing.
-
-298
-00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:33,126
-Spartans, citizen-soldiers,
-freed slaves.
-
-299
-00:33:33,294 --> 00:33:35,194
-Brave Greeks, all.
-
-300
-00:33:36,197 --> 00:33:39,291
-Brothers, fathers, sons...
-
-301
-00:33:39,467 --> 00:33:41,458
-...we march.
-
-302
-00:33:42,136 --> 00:33:46,334
-For honor's sake, for duty's sake,
-for glory's sake, we march.
-
-303
-00:33:46,507 --> 00:33:49,601
-Look! Persians.
-
-304
-00:33:54,749 --> 00:33:58,480
-Into hell's mouth we march.
-
-305
-00:34:07,528 --> 00:34:09,587
-Let's watch these motherless dogs...
-
-306
-00:34:09,831 --> 00:34:13,892
-...as they're embraced by the loving arms
-of Greece herself. Come.
-
-307
-00:34:16,704 --> 00:34:18,399
-True.
-
-308
-00:34:22,610 --> 00:34:25,078
-It does look like rain.
-
-309
-00:34:28,382 --> 00:34:31,613
-Zeus stabs the sky
-with thunderbolts...
-
-310
-00:34:31,919 --> 00:34:35,946
-...and batters the Persian ships
-with hurricane wind.
-
-311
-00:34:37,091 --> 00:34:39,525
-Glorious.
-
-312
-00:34:51,806 --> 00:34:54,673
-Only one among us
-keeps his Spartan reserve.
-
-313
-00:35:00,615 --> 00:35:02,549
-Only he.
-
-314
-00:35:02,717 --> 00:35:05,185
-Only our king.
-
-315
-00:35:22,603 --> 00:35:24,537
-My queen?
-
-316
-00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:31,041
-My queen...
-
-317
-00:35:31,212 --> 00:35:34,545
-...the courtyard is a more fitting place
-for a married woman.
-
-318
-00:35:34,715 --> 00:35:36,376
-I'm afraid gossip and protocol...
-
-319
-00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:39,076
-...are the least of my worries now,
-councilman.
-
-320
-00:35:40,755 --> 00:35:42,586
-Is such secrecy needed?
-
-321
-00:35:42,757 --> 00:35:45,419
-How am I to trust beyond the walls
-of my own home?
-
-322
-00:35:45,593 --> 00:35:49,324
-Even here, Theron has eyes and ears
-which fuel Sparta with doubt and fear.
-
-323
-00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:53,131
-You speak as if all Sparta
-conspires against you.
-
-324
-00:35:53,768 --> 00:35:55,827
-I wish it were only against me.
-
-325
-00:35:58,472 --> 00:36:01,964
-Many on our council
-would vote to give all we have...
-
-326
-00:36:02,143 --> 00:36:04,008
-...and follow Leonidas...
-
-327
-00:36:04,345 --> 00:36:06,313
-...but you must show them favor.
-
-328
-00:36:08,616 --> 00:36:11,084
-And you can arrange for me
-to speak to the council?
-
-329
-00:36:11,252 --> 00:36:13,686
-If it is reason they want,
-I will let them know.
-
-330
-00:36:13,855 --> 00:36:15,982
-Know what, my queen?
-
-331
-00:36:16,357 --> 00:36:18,348
-Freedom isn't free at all.
-
-332
-00:36:18,526 --> 00:36:21,859
-That it comes with the highest of costs,
-the cost of blood.
-
-333
-00:36:24,131 --> 00:36:26,759
-I will do my best to gather our council.
-
-334
-00:36:27,201 --> 00:36:31,035
-And its chamber
-shall be filled with your voice.
-
-335
-00:36:31,372 --> 00:36:33,203
-- I'm in your debt.
-- No.
-
-336
-00:36:33,541 --> 00:36:37,705
-Leonidas is my king as well as yours.
-
-337
-00:37:02,503 --> 00:37:04,368
-I saw those ships smash on the rocks.
-
-338
-00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:06,838
-How can this be?
-
-339
-00:37:07,008 --> 00:37:10,307
-We saw but a fraction of the monster
-that is Xerxes' army.
-
-340
-00:37:10,978 --> 00:37:13,378
-There can be no victory here.
-
-341
-00:37:17,318 --> 00:37:19,013
-Why do you smile?
-
-342
-00:37:20,721 --> 00:37:22,655
-Arcadian...
-
-343
-00:37:22,823 --> 00:37:25,849
-...I have fought countless times...
-
-344
-00:37:26,127 --> 00:37:28,789
-...yet I've never met an adversary
-who could offer me...
-
-345
-00:37:28,963 --> 00:37:31,124
-...what we Spartans
-call "a beautiful death."
-
-346
-00:37:31,933 --> 00:37:33,594
-I can only hope...
-
-347
-00:37:33,768 --> 00:37:36,498
-...with all the world's warriors
-gathered against us...
-
-348
-00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:40,334
-...there might be one down there
-who's up to the task.
-
-349
-00:37:51,786 --> 00:37:54,118
-Move!
-
-350
-00:37:55,423 --> 00:37:58,358
-Keep going, you dogs!
-
-351
-00:38:06,033 --> 00:38:08,058
-Move!
-
-352
-00:38:09,503 --> 00:38:12,063
-Forward, I say!
-
-353
-00:38:14,408 --> 00:38:16,000
-Stop here!
-
-354
-00:38:16,844 --> 00:38:19,005
-Who commands here?
-
-355
-00:38:21,215 --> 00:38:23,877
-I am the emissary...
-
-356
-00:38:24,051 --> 00:38:26,315
-...to the ruler of all the world...
-
-357
-00:38:27,121 --> 00:38:31,023
-...the god of gods, king of kings...
-
-358
-00:38:31,192 --> 00:38:32,784
-...and by that authority...
-
-359
-00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,726
-...I demand that someone
-show me your commander.
-
-360
-00:38:40,501 --> 00:38:46,406
-Listen. Do you think the paltry dozen
-you slew scares us?
-
-361
-00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:50,066
-These hills swarm with our scouts.
-
-362
-00:38:50,244 --> 00:38:54,943
-And do you think your pathetic wall
-will do anything...
-
-363
-00:38:55,116 --> 00:39:01,419
-...except fall like a heap of dry leaves
-in the face of...?
-
-364
-00:39:13,134 --> 00:39:15,432
-Our ancestors built this wall...
-
-365
-00:39:16,170 --> 00:39:20,106
-...using ancient stones
-from the bosom of Greece herself.
-
-366
-00:39:20,541 --> 00:39:22,907
-And with a little Spartan help...
-
-367
-00:39:23,210 --> 00:39:25,678
-...your Persian scouts
-supplied the mortar.
-
-368
-00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,239
-You will pay for your barbarism!
-
-369
-00:39:49,403 --> 00:39:50,961
-My arm!
-
-370
-00:39:53,541 --> 00:39:55,406
-It's not yours anymore.
-
-371
-00:39:55,676 --> 00:40:00,306
-Go now. Run along and tell your Xerxes
-he faces free men here...
-
-372
-00:40:00,681 --> 00:40:02,046
-...not slaves.
-
-373
-00:40:02,216 --> 00:40:03,444
-Do it quickly...
-
-374
-00:40:03,684 --> 00:40:06,619
-...before we decide to make our wall
-just a little bit bigger.
-
-375
-00:40:07,121 --> 00:40:08,713
-No.
-
-376
-00:40:08,889 --> 00:40:11,323
-Not slaves.
-
-377
-00:40:13,127 --> 00:40:16,563
-Your women will be slaves.
-
-378
-00:40:16,897 --> 00:40:19,730
-Your sons, your daughters...
-
-379
-00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,232
-...your elders will be slaves!
-
-380
-00:40:22,403 --> 00:40:25,167
-But not you, no.
-
-381
-00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:29,400
-By noon this day you will be dead men.
-
-382
-00:40:30,578 --> 00:40:36,574
-A thousand nations of the Persian Empire
-descend upon you.
-
-383
-00:40:36,984 --> 00:40:40,476
-Our arrows will blot out the sun.
-
-384
-00:40:42,256 --> 00:40:44,952
-Then we will fight in the shade.
-
-385
-00:40:46,494 --> 00:40:48,257
-The wall is solid.
-
-386
-00:40:48,429 --> 00:40:51,592
-It'll do the job of funneling the Persians
-into the Hot Gates.
-
-387
-00:40:51,932 --> 00:40:54,628
-Have the men found any route
-through the hills to our back?
-
-388
-00:40:55,136 --> 00:40:57,161
-None, sire.
-
-389
-00:40:57,438 --> 00:40:58,996
-There is such a route, good king.
-
-390
-00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:01,269
-Just pass that western ridge.
-
-391
-00:41:01,942 --> 00:41:03,637
-It's an old goat path.
-
-392
-00:41:03,811 --> 00:41:06,644
-The Persians could use it to outflank us.
-
-393
-00:41:06,814 --> 00:41:10,545
-Not one step closer, monster!
-
-394
-00:41:12,186 --> 00:41:15,781
-Wise king, I humbly request an audience.
-
-395
-00:41:15,956 --> 00:41:19,323
-- I'll skewer you where you stand.
-- I gave no such order.
-
-396
-00:41:29,837 --> 00:41:31,065
-Forgive the captain.
-
-397
-00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,229
-He is a good soldier...
-
-398
-00:41:33,807 --> 00:41:36,435
-...but a bit short on manners.
-
-399
-00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:40,671
-There is nothing to forgive, brave king.
-I know what I look like.
-
-400
-00:41:41,115 --> 00:41:43,140
-You wear the crimson of a Spartan.
-
-401
-00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:49,383
-I am Ephialtes, born of Sparta.
-
-402
-00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:54,051
-My mother's love
-led my parents to flee Sparta...
-
-403
-00:41:54,228 --> 00:41:55,695
-...lest I be discarded.
-
-404
-00:41:56,230 --> 00:41:59,028
-Your shield and armor?
-
-405
-00:41:59,934 --> 00:42:01,595
-My father's, sir.
-
-406
-00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:06,998
-I beg you, bold king,
-to permit me...
-
-407
-00:42:07,174 --> 00:42:12,202
-...to redeem my father's name
-by serving you in combat.
-
-408
-00:42:12,513 --> 00:42:18,383
-My father trained me to feel no fear,
-to make spear and shield and sword...
-
-409
-00:42:18,552 --> 00:42:21,282
-...as much a part of me
-as my own beating heart.
-
-410
-00:42:21,722 --> 00:42:25,021
-I will earn my father's armor,
-noble king...
-
-411
-00:42:25,192 --> 00:42:27,353
-...by serving you in the battle.
-
-412
-00:42:32,533 --> 00:42:34,626
-A fine thrust.
-
-413
-00:42:34,802 --> 00:42:36,394
-I will kill many Persians.
-
-414
-00:42:42,276 --> 00:42:43,868
-Raise your shield.
-
-415
-00:42:44,044 --> 00:42:46,706
-- Sire?
-- Raise your shield as high as you can.
-
-416
-00:42:54,955 --> 00:42:57,981
-Your father should have taught you
-how our phalanx works.
-
-417
-00:42:58,659 --> 00:42:59,956
-We fight...
-
-418
-00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:03,395
-...as a single, impenetrable unit.
-
-419
-00:43:03,564 --> 00:43:06,499
-That is the source of our strength.
-
-420
-00:43:07,334 --> 00:43:10,963
-Each Spartan protects the man
-to his left...
-
-421
-00:43:11,138 --> 00:43:14,335
-...from thigh to neck with his shield.
-
-422
-00:43:14,508 --> 00:43:19,172
-A single weak spot
-and the phalanx shatters.
-
-423
-00:43:20,581 --> 00:43:23,812
-From thigh to neck, Ephialtes.
-
-424
-00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:28,253
-I am sorry, my friend.
-
-425
-00:43:28,422 --> 00:43:31,016
-- But not all of us were made to be soldiers.
-- But I--
-
-426
-00:43:31,191 --> 00:43:33,625
-- If you want to help in a Spartan victory...
-- Yes.
-
-427
-00:43:33,794 --> 00:43:38,959
-...clear the battlefield of the dead,
-tend the wounded, bring them water...
-
-428
-00:43:39,133 --> 00:43:40,760
-...but as for the fight itself...
-
-429
-00:43:42,136 --> 00:43:44,036
-...I cannot use you.
-
-430
-00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:47,306
-You....
-
-431
-00:43:55,182 --> 00:43:59,278
-Mother! Father! You were wrong!
-
-432
-00:44:02,556 --> 00:44:04,319
-You are wrong!
-
-433
-00:44:04,491 --> 00:44:09,019
-Leonidas! You are wrong!
-
-434
-00:44:09,496 --> 00:44:11,964
-Dispatch the Phocians to the goat path...
-
-435
-00:44:12,132 --> 00:44:16,660
-...and pray to the gods
-nobody tells the Persians about it.
-
-436
-00:44:22,376 --> 00:44:23,934
-Earthquake.
-
-437
-00:44:24,478 --> 00:44:25,706
-No, captain.
-
-438
-00:44:27,314 --> 00:44:29,248
-Battle formations.
-
-439
-00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:56,337
-This is where we hold them.
-
-440
-00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:58,774
-This is where we fight!
-
-441
-00:44:59,346 --> 00:45:01,576
-This is where they die!
-
-442
-00:45:01,915 --> 00:45:03,780
-Earn these shields, boys!
-
-443
-00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,011
-Remember this day, men...
-
-444
-00:45:09,189 --> 00:45:12,920
-...for it will be yours for all time.
-
-445
-00:45:24,037 --> 00:45:25,800
-Spartans!
-
-446
-00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:28,100
-Lay down your weapons!
-
-447
-00:45:44,992 --> 00:45:47,256
-Persians!
-
-448
-00:45:47,828 --> 00:45:49,887
-Come and get them!
-
-449
-00:46:11,385 --> 00:46:13,012
-Hold!
-
-450
-00:46:15,856 --> 00:46:17,414
-Give them nothing...
-
-451
-00:46:17,858 --> 00:46:21,453
-...but take from them everything!
-
-452
-00:46:23,163 --> 00:46:24,892
-Steady!
-
-453
-00:46:35,676 --> 00:46:37,200
-Push!
-
-454
-00:46:41,048 --> 00:46:43,448
-Is that the best you can do?
-
-455
-00:46:45,652 --> 00:46:47,643
-Push! Push!
-
-456
-00:46:57,731 --> 00:46:59,255
-Now!
-
-457
-00:47:11,078 --> 00:47:12,568
-Push!
-
-458
-00:47:56,123 --> 00:47:58,717
-No prisoners!
-
-459
-00:47:59,059 --> 00:48:00,788
-No mercy!
-
-460
-00:49:20,107 --> 00:49:22,234
-They look thirsty.
-
-461
-00:49:23,343 --> 00:49:26,278
-Well, let's give them something to drink.
-
-462
-00:49:29,182 --> 00:49:31,844
-To the cliffs.
-
-463
-00:49:55,475 --> 00:49:57,636
-Halt.
-
-464
-00:49:59,746 --> 00:50:01,839
-Hell of a good start.
-
-465
-00:50:24,504 --> 00:50:26,972
-Tuck tail!
-
-466
-00:50:32,446 --> 00:50:34,004
-Persian cowards.
-
-467
-00:50:41,788 --> 00:50:44,723
-- What the hell are you laughing at?
-- Well, you had to say it.
-
-468
-00:50:45,525 --> 00:50:49,188
-- What?
-- "Fight in the shade."
-
-469
-00:51:02,709 --> 00:51:04,643
-Recover.
-
-470
-00:51:27,934 --> 00:51:30,562
-Today no Spartan dies.
-
-471
-00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:57,128
-Easy, son.
-
-472
-00:52:23,356 --> 00:52:25,324
-We do what we were trained to do...
-
-473
-00:52:25,492 --> 00:52:26,959
-...what we were bred to do...
-
-474
-00:52:27,127 --> 00:52:30,119
-...what we were born to do.
-
-475
-00:52:37,504 --> 00:52:40,496
-No prisoners. No mercy.
-
-476
-00:52:40,674 --> 00:52:42,141
-A good start.
-
-477
-00:53:51,611 --> 00:53:54,876
-- I was afraid you might not come.
-- I'm sorry, my son is--
-
-478
-00:53:55,048 --> 00:54:00,645
-Is doing what children do best.
-Please, don't apologize.
-
-479
-00:54:01,655 --> 00:54:03,782
-Your son starts the agoge next year.
-
-480
-00:54:04,391 --> 00:54:08,384
-That is always a difficult time
-for a Spartan mother.
-
-481
-00:54:09,496 --> 00:54:14,058
-Yes, it will be hard. But also necessary.
-
-482
-00:54:16,503 --> 00:54:20,735
-You will speak before the council
-in two days' time.
-
-483
-00:54:22,609 --> 00:54:24,634
-My husband does not have two days.
-
-484
-00:54:25,045 --> 00:54:27,013
-Think of the two days as a gift.
-
-485
-00:54:29,082 --> 00:54:31,107
-It's no secret...
-
-486
-00:54:31,284 --> 00:54:34,151
-...Theron wants what you control.
-
-487
-00:54:34,321 --> 00:54:37,154
-It's his voice you must silence.
-
-488
-00:54:37,324 --> 00:54:39,417
-Make him your ally...
-
-489
-00:54:39,726 --> 00:54:42,286
-...and you will have your victory.
-
-490
-00:54:43,096 --> 00:54:44,859
-Thank you.
-
-491
-00:54:45,198 --> 00:54:47,598
-You are wise as you are kind.
-
-492
-00:55:14,661 --> 00:55:16,424
-There's your mother.
-
-493
-00:55:22,902 --> 00:55:26,338
-You should keep a better eye on him
-if he's to be king one day.
-
-494
-00:55:26,539 --> 00:55:29,007
-Be unfortunate if anything
-were to happen to him.
-
-495
-00:55:30,510 --> 00:55:32,375
-Or to his beautiful mother.
-
-496
-00:55:33,846 --> 00:55:35,336
-No!
-
-497
-00:55:53,584 --> 00:55:59,022
-Our Greek comrades are begging
-for a crack at the Persians, sire.
-
-498
-00:55:59,323 --> 00:56:00,654
-Good.
-
-499
-00:56:00,825 --> 00:56:03,589
-I've got something
-I think they can handle.
-
-500
-00:56:04,094 --> 00:56:05,789
-Tell Daxos that I want him...
-
-501
-00:56:05,963 --> 00:56:10,491
-...and 20 of his best eager, sober
-and ready for the next charge.
-
-502
-00:56:10,668 --> 00:56:12,499
-King Leonidas.
-
-503
-00:56:15,005 --> 00:56:18,805
-- Stelios, catch your breath, boy.
-- Yes, milord.
-
-504
-00:56:19,443 --> 00:56:21,570
-The Persians are approaching.
-
-505
-00:56:22,947 --> 00:56:26,815
-A small contingent.
-Too small for an attack.
-
-506
-00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:34,115
-- Captain, I leave you in charge.
-- But sire--
-
-507
-00:56:34,291 --> 00:56:35,519
-Relax, old friend.
-
-508
-00:56:35,693 --> 00:56:40,255
-If they assassinate me,
-all of Sparta goes to war.
-
-509
-00:56:41,198 --> 00:56:43,792
-Pray they're that stupid.
-
-510
-00:56:44,902 --> 00:56:46,597
-Pray...
-
-511
-00:56:47,137 --> 00:56:49,332
-...we're that lucky.
-
-512
-00:56:52,476 --> 00:56:54,239
-Besides...
-
-513
-00:56:56,514 --> 00:56:59,847
-...there's no reason we can't be civil...
-
-514
-00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,742
-...is there?
-
-515
-00:57:03,087 --> 00:57:04,076
-None, sire.
-
-516
-00:57:23,471 --> 00:57:25,701
-Let me guess.
-
-517
-00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,432
-You must be Xerxes.
-
-518
-00:57:41,455 --> 00:57:43,650
-Come, Leonidas.
-
-519
-00:57:45,092 --> 00:57:46,855
-Let us reason together.
-
-520
-00:57:47,128 --> 00:57:49,096
-It would be a regrettable waste...
-
-521
-00:57:49,497 --> 00:57:52,694
-...it would be nothing short of madness
-were you, brave king...
-
-522
-00:57:52,867 --> 00:57:56,064
-...and your valiant troops to perish...
-
-523
-00:57:56,704 --> 00:57:58,763
-...all because of a simple
-misunderstanding.
-
-524
-00:57:59,373 --> 00:58:02,206
-- There's much our cultures could share.
-- Haven't you noticed?
-
-525
-00:58:02,376 --> 00:58:04,776
-We've been sharing our culture
-with you all morning.
-
-526
-00:58:05,379 --> 00:58:07,643
-Yours is a fascinating tribe.
-
-527
-00:58:07,815 --> 00:58:09,976
-Even now you are defiant...
-
-528
-00:58:10,151 --> 00:58:14,281
-...in the face of annihilation
-and the presence of a god.
-
-529
-00:58:14,455 --> 00:58:16,480
-It isn't wise to stand against me,
-Leonidas.
-
-530
-00:58:17,158 --> 00:58:19,388
-Imagine what a horrible fate
-awaits my enemies...
-
-531
-00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,461
-...when I would gladly kill
-any of my own men for victory.
-
-532
-00:58:22,630 --> 00:58:25,258
-And I would die for any one of mine.
-
-533
-00:58:25,433 --> 00:58:29,665
-You Greeks take pride in your logic.
-I suggest you employ it.
-
-534
-00:58:29,837 --> 00:58:33,398
-Consider the beautiful land
-you so vigorously defend.
-
-535
-00:58:33,574 --> 00:58:36,065
-Picture it reduced to ash at my whim.
-
-536
-00:58:36,310 --> 00:58:37,777
-Consider the fate of your women.
-
-537
-00:58:38,379 --> 00:58:40,904
-Clearly you don't know our women.
-
-538
-00:58:41,082 --> 00:58:44,609
-I might as well have marched them up here,
-judging by what I've seen.
-
-539
-00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,245
-You have many slaves, Xerxes...
-
-540
-00:58:49,190 --> 00:58:51,488
-...but few warriors.
-
-541
-00:58:51,659 --> 00:58:55,595
-It won't be long
-before they fear my spears...
-
-542
-00:58:55,997 --> 00:58:58,431
-...more than your whips.
-
-543
-00:59:02,269 --> 00:59:05,136
-It's not the lash they fear...
-
-544
-00:59:07,875 --> 00:59:09,536
-...it is my divine power.
-
-545
-00:59:10,277 --> 00:59:14,771
-But I am a generous god.
-I can make you rich beyond all measure.
-
-546
-00:59:15,216 --> 00:59:17,616
-I will make you warlord of all Greece.
-
-547
-00:59:18,252 --> 00:59:22,154
-You will carry my battle standard
-to the heart of Europa.
-
-548
-00:59:22,323 --> 00:59:24,917
-Your Athenian rivals...
-
-549
-00:59:25,226 --> 00:59:27,387
-...will kneel at your feet...
-
-550
-00:59:28,095 --> 00:59:30,893
-...if you will but kneel at mine.
-
-551
-00:59:31,732 --> 00:59:33,996
-You are generous...
-
-552
-00:59:34,568 --> 00:59:36,968
-...as you are divine...
-
-553
-00:59:37,705 --> 00:59:39,332
-...O king of kings.
-
-554
-00:59:39,507 --> 00:59:43,409
-Such an offer
-only a madman would refuse.
-
-555
-00:59:44,011 --> 00:59:46,002
-But the....
-
-556
-00:59:46,914 --> 00:59:49,747
-The idea of kneeling, it's....
-
-557
-00:59:49,917 --> 00:59:54,445
-You see, slaughtering
-all those men of yours has....
-
-558
-00:59:54,622 --> 00:59:58,456
-Well, it's left a nasty cramp in my leg...
-
-559
-00:59:58,626 --> 01:00:00,719
-...so kneeling will be hard for me.
-
-560
-01:00:00,995 --> 01:00:04,362
-There will be no glory in your sacrifice.
-
-561
-01:00:04,532 --> 01:00:08,127
-I will erase even the memory of Sparta
-from the histories.
-
-562
-01:00:08,302 --> 01:00:11,499
-Every piece of Greek parchment
-shall be burned.
-
-563
-01:00:11,672 --> 01:00:15,005
-Every Greek historian and every scribe
-shall have their eyes put out...
-
-564
-01:00:15,176 --> 01:00:17,440
-...and their tongues
-cut from their mouths.
-
-565
-01:00:17,611 --> 01:00:23,607
-Why, uttering the very name of Sparta
-or Leonidas will be punishable by death.
-
-566
-01:00:24,251 --> 01:00:27,516
-The world will never know
-you existed at all.
-
-567
-01:00:29,657 --> 01:00:34,253
-The world will know
-that free men stood against a tyrant.
-
-568
-01:00:34,462 --> 01:00:37,954
-That few stood against many.
-
-569
-01:00:38,365 --> 01:00:41,493
-And before this battle was over...
-
-570
-01:00:41,769 --> 01:00:44,738
-...that even a god-king can bleed.
-
-571
-01:00:52,113 --> 01:00:54,308
-You fought well today...
-
-572
-01:00:55,649 --> 01:00:57,549
-...for a woman.
-
-573
-01:00:58,719 --> 01:01:00,380
-As did you.
-
-574
-01:01:00,554 --> 01:01:03,648
-Maybe if I'm injured,
-you'll be able to keep up with me.
-
-575
-01:01:04,158 --> 01:01:09,118
-Perhaps I was so far ahead
-you couldn't see me.
-
-576
-01:01:09,730 --> 01:01:12,927
-More likely offering your backside
-to the Thespians.
-
-577
-01:01:13,868 --> 01:01:15,495
-Jealousy...
-
-578
-01:01:15,669 --> 01:01:18,160
-...does not become you, my friend.
-
-579
-01:01:20,908 --> 01:01:23,240
-Move it, men!
-
-580
-01:01:25,346 --> 01:01:27,576
-Pile those Persians high.
-
-581
-01:01:30,718 --> 01:01:33,516
-For unless I miss my guess...
-
-582
-01:01:34,088 --> 01:01:37,080
-...we're in for one wild night.
-
-583
-01:02:01,015 --> 01:02:06,180
-They have served the dark will
-of Persian kings for 500 years.
-
-584
-01:02:06,353 --> 01:02:08,685
-Eyes as dark as night.
-
-585
-01:02:08,856 --> 01:02:10,847
-Teeth filed to fangs.
-
-586
-01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,224
-Soulless.
-
-587
-01:02:22,636 --> 01:02:27,403
-The personal guard to King Xerxes himself.
-The Persian warrior elite.
-
-588
-01:02:29,210 --> 01:02:32,304
-The deadliest fighting force
-in all of Asia:
-
-589
-01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,139
-The Immortals.
-
-590
-01:02:43,357 --> 01:02:46,758
-The god-king
-has betrayed a fatal flaw:
-
-591
-01:02:47,261 --> 01:02:49,024
-Hubris.
-
-592
-01:02:51,265 --> 01:02:54,029
-Easy to taunt, easy to trick.
-
-593
-01:02:54,702 --> 01:02:57,136
-Before wounds and weariness
-have taken their toll...
-
-594
-01:02:57,304 --> 01:03:00,831
-...the mad king
-throws the best he has at us.
-
-595
-01:03:01,342 --> 01:03:03,037
-Xerxes has taken the bait.
-
-596
-01:03:03,210 --> 01:03:05,007
-Spartans, push!
-
-597
-01:03:15,689 --> 01:03:17,281
-Immortals.
-
-598
-01:03:17,758 --> 01:03:20,727
-We put their name to the test.
-
-599
-01:04:04,905 --> 01:04:06,338
-Father!
-
-600
-01:05:52,012 --> 01:05:53,274
-My king!
-
-601
-01:07:06,053 --> 01:07:08,021
-Arcadians, now!
-
-602
-01:07:10,324 --> 01:07:13,088
-Go! Show the Spartans what we can do.
-
-603
-01:07:13,694 --> 01:07:15,127
-Go!
-
-604
-01:07:24,538 --> 01:07:26,438
-They shout and curse...
-
-605
-01:07:26,607 --> 01:07:29,804
-...stabbing wildly,
-more brawlers than warriors.
-
-606
-01:07:30,944 --> 01:07:33,504
-They make a wondrous
-mess of things.
-
-607
-01:07:34,548 --> 01:07:37,312
-Brave amateurs, they do their part.
-
-608
-01:08:24,932 --> 01:08:26,797
-Immortals.
-
-609
-01:08:26,967 --> 01:08:29,561
-They fail our king's test.
-
-610
-01:08:29,736 --> 01:08:32,671
-And a man
-who fancies himself a god...
-
-611
-01:08:33,407 --> 01:08:38,344
-...feels a very human chill
-crawl up his spine.
-
-612
-01:08:45,452 --> 01:08:47,579
-To our king!
-
-613
-01:08:47,955 --> 01:08:49,946
-And our honored dead.
-
-614
-01:08:50,123 --> 01:08:52,921
-Whom will Xerxes dare to send next?
-Whom?!
-
-615
-01:08:53,260 --> 01:08:55,956
-There's nothing that can stop us now!
-
-616
-01:08:56,830 --> 01:09:00,357
-Even the king allows himself
-to hope for more than glory.
-
-617
-01:09:00,534 --> 01:09:03,867
-Such mad hope, but there it is:
-
-618
-01:09:04,304 --> 01:09:09,708
-"Against Asia's endless hordes,
-against all odds, we can do it.
-
-619
-01:09:09,876 --> 01:09:12,606
-We can hold the Hot Gates.
-
-620
-01:09:12,779 --> 01:09:14,906
-We can win."
-
-621
-01:09:22,489 --> 01:09:24,252
-Dawn.
-
-622
-01:09:24,858 --> 01:09:28,885
-Whips crack. Barbarians howl.
-
-623
-01:09:29,062 --> 01:09:32,964
-Those behind cry, "Forward!"
-
-624
-01:09:34,835 --> 01:09:38,635
-Those in front cry, "Back!"
-
-625
-01:09:44,745 --> 01:09:47,270
-Our eyes bear witness
-to the grotesque spectacle...
-
-626
-01:09:47,447 --> 01:09:51,543
-...coughed forth from the darkest
-corner of Xerxes' empire.
-
-627
-01:10:41,768 --> 01:10:43,292
-When muscle failed...
-
-628
-01:10:43,737 --> 01:10:46,399
-...they turned to their magic.
-
-629
-01:10:47,441 --> 01:10:52,242
-One hundred nations descend
-upon us, the armies of all Asia.
-
-630
-01:10:52,412 --> 01:10:56,872
-Funneled into this narrow corridor,
-their numbers count for nothing.
-
-631
-01:11:31,251 --> 01:11:33,219
-They fall by the hundreds.
-
-632
-01:11:33,386 --> 01:11:38,983
-We send the severed bodies and the
-fragile hearts back to Xerxes' feet.
-
-633
-01:11:55,609 --> 01:11:59,773
-King Xerxes is displeased
-with his generals.
-
-634
-01:11:59,946 --> 01:12:02,506
-He disciplines them.
-
-635
-01:12:19,399 --> 01:12:23,802
-Xerxes dispatches his monsters
-from half the world away.
-
-636
-01:12:34,781 --> 01:12:36,874
-They're clumsy beasts...
-
-637
-01:12:37,050 --> 01:12:39,416
-...and the piled Persian dead
-are slippery.
-
-638
-01:13:15,856 --> 01:13:18,290
-- You still here?
-- Somebody's gotta watch your back.
-
-639
-01:13:18,458 --> 01:13:20,050
-Not now, I'm a little busy.
-
-640
-01:14:00,333 --> 01:14:02,858
-Regroup!
-
-641
-01:14:06,072 --> 01:14:07,699
-Astinos!
-
-642
-01:14:07,908 --> 01:14:09,603
-My son!
-
-643
-01:14:18,551 --> 01:14:20,178
-Astinos!
-
-644
-01:14:20,353 --> 01:14:23,117
-No!
-
-645
-01:14:46,379 --> 01:14:48,506
-Day wears on.
-
-646
-01:14:48,848 --> 01:14:51,009
-We lose few...
-
-647
-01:14:51,184 --> 01:14:54,415
-...but each felled is a friend,
-or dearest blood.
-
-648
-01:14:56,623 --> 01:15:00,525
-And upon seeing the headless body
-of his own young son...
-
-649
-01:15:00,694 --> 01:15:02,559
-...the captain breaks rank.
-
-650
-01:15:02,729 --> 01:15:06,165
-He goes wild, blood-drunk.
-
-651
-01:15:30,790 --> 01:15:33,281
-The captain's cries of pain
-at the loss of his son...
-
-652
-01:15:33,460 --> 01:15:37,191
-...are more frightening to the enemy
-than the deepest battle drums.
-
-653
-01:15:37,364 --> 01:15:41,357
-It takes three men to restrain him
-and bring him back to our own.
-
-654
-01:15:41,701 --> 01:15:44,033
-The day is ours.
-
-655
-01:15:44,437 --> 01:15:47,099
-No songs are sung.
-
-656
-01:16:27,213 --> 01:16:31,809
-Your gods were cruel to shape you so,
-friend Ephialtes.
-
-657
-01:16:34,220 --> 01:16:35,517
-The Spartans, too...
-
-658
-01:16:36,256 --> 01:16:39,157
-...were cruel to reject you.
-
-659
-01:16:41,995 --> 01:16:44,429
-But I am kind.
-
-660
-01:16:50,937 --> 01:16:53,064
-Everything you could ever desire...
-
-661
-01:16:54,307 --> 01:16:56,070
-...every happiness you can imagine...
-
-662
-01:16:58,278 --> 01:17:02,874
-...every pleasure your fellow Greeks
-and your false gods have denied you...
-
-663
-01:17:03,683 --> 01:17:05,947
-...I will grant you.
-
-664
-01:17:07,220 --> 01:17:09,620
-For I am kind.
-
-665
-01:17:23,570 --> 01:17:26,869
-Embrace me as your king
-and as your god.
-
-666
-01:17:28,007 --> 01:17:29,702
-Yes.
-
-667
-01:17:31,177 --> 01:17:35,978
-Lead my soldiers to the hidden path
-that enters behind the cursed Spartans...
-
-668
-01:17:36,149 --> 01:17:38,413
-...and your joys will be endless.
-
-669
-01:17:46,860 --> 01:17:50,023
-Yes! I want it all.
-
-670
-01:17:50,463 --> 01:17:54,024
-Wealth. Women.
-
-671
-01:17:56,035 --> 01:17:57,730
-And one more thing...
-
-672
-01:18:00,907 --> 01:18:03,569
-...I want a uniform.
-
-673
-01:18:08,081 --> 01:18:09,776
-Done.
-
-674
-01:18:11,417 --> 01:18:13,112
-You will find...
-
-675
-01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,654
-...I am kind.
-
-676
-01:18:16,789 --> 01:18:21,021
-Unlike the cruel Leonidas,
-who demanded that you stand...
-
-677
-01:18:23,129 --> 01:18:24,824
-...I require only...
-
-678
-01:18:25,565 --> 01:18:26,998
-...that you kneel.
-
-679
-01:18:54,661 --> 01:18:56,595
-Beautiful night.
-
-680
-01:18:58,031 --> 01:19:02,024
-Yes, but I did not ask you here
-for small talk, Theron.
-
-681
-01:19:02,669 --> 01:19:04,762
-You can be sure of that.
-
-682
-01:19:06,172 --> 01:19:08,834
-You never spared words with me.
-
-683
-01:19:09,409 --> 01:19:12,674
-Can I offer you something?
-A drink, perhaps?
-
-684
-01:19:12,845 --> 01:19:14,676
-Is it poison?
-
-685
-01:19:15,081 --> 01:19:17,845
-I'm sorry to disappoint you,
-it's only water.
-
-686
-01:19:27,627 --> 01:19:30,790
-I'm told it's been arranged for you
-to go before the council.
-
-687
-01:19:31,464 --> 01:19:33,193
-Yes.
-
-688
-01:19:33,399 --> 01:19:36,732
-I need your help in winning votes
-to send the army north to our king.
-
-689
-01:19:37,303 --> 01:19:38,930
-Yes.
-
-690
-01:19:39,606 --> 01:19:42,166
-I can see it,
-the two of us standing together.
-
-691
-01:19:42,342 --> 01:19:46,711
-Me, politician. You, warrior.
-Our voices as one.
-
-692
-01:19:48,047 --> 01:19:49,514
-But why would I want to do that?
-
-693
-01:19:50,483 --> 01:19:54,442
-It proves you care for a king who right now
-fights for the very water we drink.
-
-694
-01:19:54,787 --> 01:19:56,379
-True.
-
-695
-01:19:56,756 --> 01:19:59,384
-But this is politics, not war.
-
-696
-01:19:59,692 --> 01:20:01,216
-Leonidas is an idealist.
-
-697
-01:20:01,628 --> 01:20:05,564
-I know your kind too well. You send men
-to slaughter for your own gain.
-
-698
-01:20:05,732 --> 01:20:10,635
-Your husband, our king,
-has taken 300 of our finest to slaughter.
-
-699
-01:20:10,803 --> 01:20:15,433
-He's broken our laws
-and left without the council's consent.
-
-700
-01:20:15,942 --> 01:20:18,934
-- I'm simply a realist.
-- You're an opportunist.
-
-701
-01:20:19,912 --> 01:20:24,212
-You're as foolish as Leonidas if you think
-men don't have a price in this world.
-
-702
-01:20:24,384 --> 01:20:28,946
-All men are not created equal.
-That's the Spartan code, my little queen.
-
-703
-01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:35,025
-I admire your passion.
-
-704
-01:20:36,362 --> 01:20:38,091
-But don't think that you...
-
-705
-01:20:38,531 --> 01:20:40,863
-...a woman, even a queen...
-
-706
-01:20:41,034 --> 01:20:44,970
-...can walk into the council chamber
-and sway the minds of men.
-
-707
-01:20:45,138 --> 01:20:47,572
-I own that chamber...
-
-708
-01:20:47,740 --> 01:20:49,799
-...as if it were built with these hands.
-
-709
-01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,807
-I could crush
-the life out of you right now.
-
-710
-01:20:58,885 --> 01:21:02,548
-You will go before the council,
-but your words will fall on deaf ears.
-
-711
-01:21:02,722 --> 01:21:08,490
-Leonidas will receive no reinforcements,
-and if he returns, without my help...
-
-712
-01:21:08,661 --> 01:21:11,630
-...he will go to jail or worse.
-
-713
-01:21:15,368 --> 01:21:16,835
-Do you love your Sparta?
-
-714
-01:21:17,337 --> 01:21:19,032
-Yes.
-
-715
-01:21:19,205 --> 01:21:21,469
-- And your king?
-- I do.
-
-716
-01:21:27,313 --> 01:21:31,010
-Your husband fights for his land
-and his love.
-
-717
-01:21:31,684 --> 01:21:33,982
-What do you have to offer...
-
-718
-01:21:34,754 --> 01:21:37,723
-...in return for my word
-that I'll help you send our army north?
-
-719
-01:21:41,694 --> 01:21:44,356
-What does a realist want with his queen?
-
-720
-01:21:48,968 --> 01:21:50,697
-I think you know.
-
-721
-01:22:05,151 --> 01:22:07,847
-This will not be over quickly.
-
-722
-01:22:08,888 --> 01:22:11,379
-You will not enjoy this.
-
-723
-01:22:11,924 --> 01:22:14,188
-I'm not your king.
-
-724
-01:22:38,985 --> 01:22:40,782
-Dilios.
-
-725
-01:22:42,789 --> 01:22:46,816
-I trust that scratch
-hasn't made you useless?
-
-726
-01:22:46,993 --> 01:22:50,019
-Hardly, my lord. It's just an eye.
-
-727
-01:22:50,196 --> 01:22:53,393
-The gods saw fit to grace me
-with a spare.
-
-728
-01:22:55,268 --> 01:22:57,202
-My captain?
-
-729
-01:22:58,504 --> 01:23:02,304
-Curses the gods and mourns alone.
-
-730
-01:23:04,277 --> 01:23:06,245
-Leonidas!
-
-731
-01:23:07,447 --> 01:23:10,439
-We are undone.
-Undone, I tell you. Destroyed.
-
-732
-01:23:10,616 --> 01:23:12,049
-Daxos, calm yourself.
-
-733
-01:23:12,218 --> 01:23:15,813
-Our hunchback traitor led Xerxes' Immortals
-to the hidden goat path behind us.
-
-734
-01:23:16,222 --> 01:23:19,055
-The Phocians you posted there
-were scattered without a fight.
-
-735
-01:23:19,225 --> 01:23:24,458
-- This battle is over, Leonidas.
-- This battle is over when I say it is over.
-
-736
-01:23:24,630 --> 01:23:28,999
-By morning, the Immortals will surround us.
-The Hot Gates will fall.
-
-737
-01:23:29,635 --> 01:23:34,004
-Spartans! Prepare for glory!
-
-738
-01:23:34,173 --> 01:23:37,370
-Glory? Have you gone mad?
-
-739
-01:23:37,543 --> 01:23:39,101
-There is no glory to be had now.
-
-740
-01:23:39,712 --> 01:23:43,307
-Only retreat or surrender. Or death.
-
-741
-01:23:43,483 --> 01:23:46,646
-Well, that's an easy choice
-for us, Arcadian.
-
-742
-01:23:46,819 --> 01:23:52,314
-Spartans never retreat.
-Spartans never surrender.
-
-743
-01:23:52,925 --> 01:23:55,018
-Go spread the word.
-
-744
-01:23:55,261 --> 01:23:58,924
-Let every Greek assembled
-know the truth of this.
-
-745
-01:23:59,098 --> 01:24:01,931
-Let each among them
-search his own soul.
-
-746
-01:24:03,636 --> 01:24:07,766
-And while you're at it, search your own.
-
-747
-01:24:15,281 --> 01:24:17,545
-My men will leave with me.
-
-748
-01:24:22,889 --> 01:24:25,119
-Godspeed, Leonidas.
-
-749
-01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:33,022
-Children!
-
-750
-01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,331
-Children.
-
-751
-01:24:36,369 --> 01:24:38,360
-Gather round.
-
-752
-01:24:40,239 --> 01:24:43,504
-No retreat, no surrender.
-
-753
-01:24:43,676 --> 01:24:47,544
-That is Spartan law.
-
-754
-01:24:47,780 --> 01:24:52,843
-And by Spartan law,
-we will stand and fight...
-
-755
-01:24:53,019 --> 01:24:55,010
-...and die.
-
-756
-01:24:58,457 --> 01:25:01,949
-A new age has begun.
-
-757
-01:25:03,696 --> 01:25:06,824
-An age of freedom.
-
-758
-01:25:07,900 --> 01:25:11,563
-And all will know that 300 Spartans...
-
-759
-01:25:11,737 --> 01:25:15,002
-...gave their last breath to defend it.
-
-760
-01:25:35,294 --> 01:25:37,057
-My friend.
-
-761
-01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:46,163
-I have lived my entire life
-without regret until now.
-
-762
-01:25:49,542 --> 01:25:55,481
-It's not that my son
-gave up his life for his country.
-
-763
-01:25:57,383 --> 01:26:01,251
-It's just that I never told him
-that I loved him the most.
-
-764
-01:26:02,855 --> 01:26:05,722
-That he stood by me with honor.
-
-765
-01:26:07,159 --> 01:26:10,094
-That he was all that was best in me.
-
-766
-01:26:19,205 --> 01:26:21,730
-My heart is broken for your loss.
-
-767
-01:26:22,475 --> 01:26:24,170
-Heart?
-
-768
-01:26:29,248 --> 01:26:32,342
-I have filled my heart...
-
-769
-01:26:32,518 --> 01:26:34,247
-...with hate.
-
-770
-01:26:38,391 --> 01:26:40,052
-Good.
-
-771
-01:26:49,201 --> 01:26:51,032
-Dilios...
-
-772
-01:26:52,738 --> 01:26:54,865
-...let's take a walk.
-
-773
-01:26:56,342 --> 01:26:58,401
-Yes, my lord.
-
-774
-01:27:00,813 --> 01:27:03,475
-But, sire, I am fit and ready for battle.
-
-775
-01:27:03,649 --> 01:27:06,777
-That you are, one of the finest.
-
-776
-01:27:07,086 --> 01:27:10,681
-But you have another talent
-unlike any other Spartan.
-
-777
-01:27:13,392 --> 01:27:16,828
-You will deliver my final orders
-to the council...
-
-778
-01:27:16,996 --> 01:27:19,487
-...with force and verve.
-
-779
-01:27:22,001 --> 01:27:24,265
-Tell them our story.
-
-780
-01:27:24,437 --> 01:27:28,965
-Make every Greek know
-what happened here.
-
-781
-01:27:29,809 --> 01:27:32,437
-You'll have a grand tale to tell.
-
-782
-01:27:34,246 --> 01:27:35,941
-A tale of victory.
-
-783
-01:27:36,615 --> 01:27:38,173
-Victory.
-
-784
-01:27:42,221 --> 01:27:44,212
-Yes, my lord.
-
-785
-01:27:49,895 --> 01:27:52,261
-Sire, any message...?
-
-786
-01:27:55,134 --> 01:27:56,499
-For the queen?
-
-787
-01:28:18,958 --> 01:28:21,392
-None that need be spoken.
-
-788
-01:28:36,509 --> 01:28:38,909
-Hundreds leave.
-
-789
-01:28:39,545 --> 01:28:41,979
-A handful stay.
-
-790
-01:28:47,153 --> 01:28:49,781
-Only one looks back.
-
-791
-01:29:00,099 --> 01:29:02,294
-Spartans!
-
-792
-01:29:03,369 --> 01:29:06,532
-Ready your breakfast and eat hearty...
-
-793
-01:29:06,705 --> 01:29:10,641
-...for tonight we dine in hell!
-
-794
-01:29:19,518 --> 01:29:22,180
-May I give the floor now...
-
-795
-01:29:22,354 --> 01:29:26,791
-...to the wife of Leonidas
-and queen of Sparta.
-
-796
-01:29:38,504 --> 01:29:40,233
-- What's this?
-- This is nothing.
-
-797
-01:29:40,406 --> 01:29:42,237
-Councilmen...
-
-798
-01:29:42,408 --> 01:29:46,174
-...I stand before you
-not only as your queen.
-
-799
-01:29:47,046 --> 01:29:49,776
-I come to you as a mother.
-
-800
-01:29:51,050 --> 01:29:53,450
-I come to you as a wife.
-
-801
-01:29:55,254 --> 01:29:57,779
-I come to you as a Spartan woman.
-
-802
-01:30:02,795 --> 01:30:05,889
-I come to you with great humility.
-
-803
-01:30:09,335 --> 01:30:11,735
-I am not here to represent Leonidas.
-
-804
-01:30:11,904 --> 01:30:14,668
-His actions speak louder
-than my words ever could.
-
-805
-01:30:15,007 --> 01:30:17,407
-I am here for all those voices
-which cannot be heard.
-
-806
-01:30:17,576 --> 01:30:20,101
-Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons.
-
-807
-01:30:20,279 --> 01:30:23,248
-Three hundred families
-that bleed for our rights...
-
-808
-01:30:23,682 --> 01:30:26,879
-...and for the very principles
-this room was built upon.
-
-809
-01:30:27,486 --> 01:30:29,579
-We are at war, gentlemen.
-
-810
-01:30:30,022 --> 01:30:32,547
-We must send the entire Spartan army
-to aid our king...
-
-811
-01:30:32,725 --> 01:30:35,819
-...in the preservation of not
-just ourselves, but of our children.
-
-812
-01:30:36,395 --> 01:30:39,523
-Send the army
-for the preservation of liberty.
-
-813
-01:30:39,698 --> 01:30:42,030
-Send it for justice.
-
-814
-01:30:42,201 --> 01:30:43,828
-Send it for law and order.
-
-815
-01:30:44,370 --> 01:30:46,565
-Send it for reason.
-
-816
-01:30:46,739 --> 01:30:50,835
-But most importantly,
-send our army for hope.
-
-817
-01:30:51,010 --> 01:30:54,571
-Hope that a king and his men have not
-been wasted to the pages of history.
-
-818
-01:30:55,414 --> 01:30:58,850
-That their courage bonds us together.
-
-819
-01:30:59,151 --> 01:31:02,348
-That we are made stronger
-by their actions...
-
-820
-01:31:03,355 --> 01:31:07,451
-...and that your choices today
-reflect their bravery.
-
-821
-01:31:09,395 --> 01:31:11,056
-Three hundred.
-
-822
-01:31:13,399 --> 01:31:15,230
-We must send them.
-
-823
-01:31:19,004 --> 01:31:20,835
-Moving...
-
-824
-01:31:21,173 --> 01:31:24,074
-...eloquent, passionate.
-
-825
-01:31:24,476 --> 01:31:28,640
-But it doesn't change the fact
-that your husband has brought war upon us.
-
-826
-01:31:28,814 --> 01:31:31,248
-You are wrong.
-Xerxes brought it forth...
-
-827
-01:31:31,417 --> 01:31:33,885
-...and before that,
-his father Darius at Marathon.
-
-828
-01:31:34,053 --> 01:31:35,782
-The Persians will not stop...
-
-829
-01:31:35,955 --> 01:31:39,322
-...until the only shelter we will find
-is rubble and chaos.
-
-830
-01:31:39,725 --> 01:31:43,456
-This chamber needs no
-history lesson, my queen.
-
-831
-01:31:43,963 --> 01:31:46,158
-Then what is the lesson
-you would like to leave?
-
-832
-01:31:46,332 --> 01:31:48,425
-Shall I begin to enumerate all of them?
-
-833
-01:31:48,834 --> 01:31:52,270
-Honor. Duty. Glory.
-
-834
-01:31:52,538 --> 01:31:57,566
-You speak of honor, duty and glory?
-
-835
-01:31:58,877 --> 01:32:00,105
-But what of adultery?
-
-836
-01:32:00,279 --> 01:32:02,747
-- How dare you.
-- How dare I?
-
-837
-01:32:03,182 --> 01:32:06,174
-Watch her carefully.
-
-838
-01:32:06,352 --> 01:32:09,321
-She is a trickster in true form.
-
-839
-01:32:09,488 --> 01:32:12,651
-Do not play with the members
-of this sacred chamber, my queen.
-
-840
-01:32:12,825 --> 01:32:15,919
-Just hours ago,
-you offered yourself to me.
-
-841
-01:32:16,095 --> 01:32:20,532
-Were I a weaker man,
-I would have her scent on me still.
-
-842
-01:32:20,699 --> 01:32:23,691
-- This is outrage.
-- Oh, the hypocrite speaks!
-
-843
-01:32:23,869 --> 01:32:26,861
-Did you not receive a similar payment,
-which you took...
-
-844
-01:32:27,039 --> 01:32:30,270
-...in exchange for her having an audience
-with these noble men?
-
-845
-01:32:30,442 --> 01:32:32,205
-- That is a lie.
-- Is it?
-
-846
-01:32:32,378 --> 01:32:36,144
-Was he not, by your invitation,
-asked to come to the king's bedchamber?
-
-847
-01:32:36,682 --> 01:32:41,312
-The very bed where you attempted
-to negotiate with me so vigorously?
-
-848
-01:32:43,956 --> 01:32:47,414
-You look shocked.
-A bribe of the flesh, gentlemen...
-
-849
-01:32:47,593 --> 01:32:50,892
-...while her husband
-promotes anarchy and war.
-
-850
-01:32:53,832 --> 01:32:55,026
-He speaks truth.
-
-851
-01:32:55,634 --> 01:32:58,831
-Words escape
-even the most cunning tongue...
-
-852
-01:32:59,004 --> 01:33:01,063
-...my little whore queen.
-
-853
-01:33:05,811 --> 01:33:07,642
-What queen-like behavior.
-
-854
-01:33:09,348 --> 01:33:12,476
-Remove her from this chamber
-before she infects us further...
-
-855
-01:33:12,651 --> 01:33:15,643
-...with her inglorious and shabby self.
-
-856
-01:33:22,461 --> 01:33:24,053
-This will not be over quickly.
-
-857
-01:33:25,397 --> 01:33:28,924
-You will not enjoy this.
-I am not your queen.
-
-858
-01:33:51,090 --> 01:33:53,024
-Traitor.
-
-859
-01:33:53,559 --> 01:33:58,360
-Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
-
-860
-01:33:58,630 --> 01:34:00,894
-Traitor!
-
-861
-01:34:37,936 --> 01:34:43,932
-Leonidas, my compliments
-and congratulations.
-
-862
-01:34:44,109 --> 01:34:47,772
-You surely have turned calamity
-into victory.
-
-863
-01:34:47,946 --> 01:34:50,938
-Despite your insufferable arrogance...
-
-864
-01:34:51,116 --> 01:34:55,280
-...the god-king has come to admire
-Spartan valor and fighting skill.
-
-865
-01:34:56,021 --> 01:34:57,386
-You will make a mighty ally.
-
-866
-01:34:57,556 --> 01:34:59,285
-Yield, Leonidas.
-
-867
-01:35:00,459 --> 01:35:03,326
-Use your reason. Think of your men.
-
-868
-01:35:06,165 --> 01:35:07,792
-I beg you.
-
-869
-01:35:08,367 --> 01:35:10,335
-Listen to your fellow Greek.
-
-870
-01:35:10,502 --> 01:35:14,199
-He can attest
-to the divine one's generosity.
-
-871
-01:35:14,373 --> 01:35:18,833
-Despite your several insults,
-despite your horrid blasphemies...
-
-872
-01:35:19,745 --> 01:35:22,942
-...the lord of hosts
-is prepared to forgive all...
-
-873
-01:35:23,182 --> 01:35:26,208
-...and more, to reward your service.
-
-874
-01:35:26,485 --> 01:35:27,816
-You fight for your lands.
-
-875
-01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:30,351
-Keep them.
-
-876
-01:35:31,056 --> 01:35:33,024
-You fight for Sparta.
-
-877
-01:35:33,192 --> 01:35:37,185
-She will be wealthier and more powerful
-than ever before.
-
-878
-01:35:37,396 --> 01:35:39,330
-You fight for your kingship.
-
-879
-01:35:40,232 --> 01:35:43,201
-You will be proclaimed warlord
-of all Greece...
-
-880
-01:35:43,368 --> 01:35:47,668
-...answerable only
-to the one true master of the world.
-
-881
-01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:52,773
-Leonidas, your victory will be complete...
-
-882
-01:35:52,945 --> 01:35:55,539
-...if you but lay down your arms...
-
-883
-01:35:55,714 --> 01:35:58,877
-...and kneel to holy Xerxes.
-
-884
-01:36:29,381 --> 01:36:34,318
-It's been more than 30 years
-since the wolf in the winter cold.
-
-885
-01:36:34,486 --> 01:36:39,048
-And now, as then,
-it's not fear that grips him...
-
-886
-01:36:39,224 --> 01:36:44,389
-...only restlessness.
-A heightened sense of things.
-
-887
-01:36:45,163 --> 01:36:49,964
-The seaborne breeze coolly kissing
-the sweat at his chest and neck.
-
-888
-01:36:50,135 --> 01:36:51,625
-Gulls cawing...
-
-889
-01:36:51,803 --> 01:36:56,035
-...complaining even as they feast
-on the thousands of floating dead.
-
-890
-01:36:57,643 --> 01:37:02,706
-The steady breathing
-of the 300 at his back...
-
-891
-01:37:03,482 --> 01:37:06,940
-...ready to die for him
-without a moment's pause.
-
-892
-01:37:09,554 --> 01:37:10,919
-Every one of them...
-
-893
-01:37:12,391 --> 01:37:14,325
-...ready to die.
-
-894
-01:37:29,841 --> 01:37:32,776
-His helmet is stifling.
-
-895
-01:37:53,465 --> 01:37:56,298
-His shield is heavy.
-
-896
-01:38:03,909 --> 01:38:05,274
-Your spear.
-
-897
-01:38:14,086 --> 01:38:15,519
-You there...
-
-898
-01:38:15,954 --> 01:38:17,945
-...Ephialtes.
-
-899
-01:38:23,061 --> 01:38:25,325
-May you live forever.
-
-900
-01:38:32,738 --> 01:38:35,036
-Leonidas, your spear.
-
-901
-01:39:42,274 --> 01:39:43,866
-Stelios!
-
-902
-01:39:53,885 --> 01:39:55,477
-Slaughter them!
-
-903
-01:39:58,857 --> 01:40:00,449
-His helmet was stifling.
-
-904
-01:40:00,625 --> 01:40:03,753
-It narrowed his vision,
-and he must see far.
-
-905
-01:40:05,063 --> 01:40:08,931
-His shield was heavy.
-It threw him off balance...
-
-906
-01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:12,763
-...and his target is far away.
-
-907
-01:41:17,335 --> 01:41:21,897
-The old ones say we Spartans are
-descended from Hercules himself.
-
-908
-01:41:23,375 --> 01:41:27,709
-Bold Leonidas gives testament
-to our bloodline.
-
-909
-01:41:27,879 --> 01:41:32,009
-His roar is long and loud.
-
-910
-01:42:02,113 --> 01:42:03,705
-My king.
-
-911
-01:42:15,961 --> 01:42:19,590
-It's an honor to die at your side.
-
-912
-01:42:21,166 --> 01:42:25,660
-It's an honor to have lived at yours.
-
-913
-01:42:46,591 --> 01:42:48,684
-My queen!
-
-914
-01:42:56,935 --> 01:42:58,664
-My wife.
-
-915
-01:43:10,115 --> 01:43:11,912
-My love.
-
-916
-01:45:38,329 --> 01:45:40,456
-"Remember us."
-
-917
-01:45:42,133 --> 01:45:45,569
-As simple an order
-as a king can give.
-
-918
-01:45:47,138 --> 01:45:50,335
-"Remember why we died."
-
-919
-01:45:52,343 --> 01:45:56,370
-For he did not wish tribute or song...
-
-920
-01:45:58,216 --> 01:46:02,414
-...nor monuments,
-nor poems of war and valor.
-
-921
-01:46:05,290 --> 01:46:07,588
-His wish was simple.
-
-922
-01:46:12,964 --> 01:46:15,023
-"Remember us"...
-
-923
-01:46:16,067 --> 01:46:17,796
-...he said to me.
-
-924
-01:46:19,470 --> 01:46:21,665
-That was his hope.
-
-925
-01:46:21,873 --> 01:46:25,604
-Should any free soul
-come across that place...
-
-926
-01:46:26,377 --> 01:46:29,710
-...in all the countless
-centuries yet to be...
-
-927
-01:46:30,148 --> 01:46:32,708
-...may all our voices...
-
-928
-01:46:32,884 --> 01:46:36,945
-...whisper to you
-from the ageless stones.
-
-929
-01:46:37,922 --> 01:46:41,551
-Go tell the Spartans, passerby...
-
-930
-01:46:41,893 --> 01:46:47,763
-...that here, by Spartan law,
-we lie.
-
-931
-01:46:50,535 --> 01:46:53,231
-And so my king died...
-
-932
-01:46:54,105 --> 01:46:56,733
-...and my brothers died...
-
-933
-01:46:59,110 --> 01:47:01,578
-...barely a year ago.
-
-934
-01:47:05,516 --> 01:47:10,749
-Long I pondered my king's
-cryptic talk of victory.
-
-935
-01:47:10,989 --> 01:47:13,617
-Time has proven him wise.
-
-936
-01:47:14,525 --> 01:47:17,551
-For from free Greek to free Greek...
-
-937
-01:47:17,729 --> 01:47:22,325
-...the word was spread
-that bold Leonidas and his 300...
-
-938
-01:47:22,500 --> 01:47:24,491
-...so far from home...
-
-939
-01:47:24,669 --> 01:47:28,070
-...laid down their lives
-not just for Sparta...
-
-940
-01:47:28,239 --> 01:47:32,039
-...but for all Greece
-and the promise this country holds.
-
-941
-01:47:32,944 --> 01:47:38,007
-Now, here on this rugged patch of earth
-called Plataea...
-
-942
-01:47:38,182 --> 01:47:43,176
-...Xerxes' hordes face obliteration!
-
-943
-01:47:44,856 --> 01:47:48,257
-Just there the barbarians huddle...
-
-944
-01:47:48,426 --> 01:47:53,295
-...sheer terror gripping tight
-their hearts...
-
-945
-01:47:53,464 --> 01:47:55,364
-...with icy fingers...
-
-946
-01:47:55,533 --> 01:47:58,764
-...knowing full well
-what merciless horrors they suffered...
-
-947
-01:47:58,937 --> 01:48:01,462
-...at the swords and spears of 300.
-
-948
-01:48:02,874 --> 01:48:08,437
-Yet they stare now across the plain
-at 10,000 Spartans...
-
-949
-01:48:08,613 --> 01:48:11,912
-...commanding 30,000 free Greeks!
-
-950
-01:48:18,723 --> 01:48:22,625
-The enemy outnumber us
-a paltry three to one.
-
-951
-01:48:22,927 --> 01:48:24,918
-Good odds for any Greek.
-
-952
-01:48:25,630 --> 01:48:30,329
-This day, we rescue a world
-from mysticism and tyranny...
-
-953
-01:48:30,501 --> 01:48:34,870
-...and usher in a future
-brighter than anything we can imagine.
-
-954
-01:48:39,310 --> 01:48:40,800
-Give thanks, men...
-
-955
-01:48:41,512 --> 01:48:45,278
-...to Leonidas and the brave 300!.
-
-956
-01:48:45,450 --> 01:48:48,180
-To Victory!
