See the crows?
They never tasted prince before.
Is this what you Ieft me for?!
Fight!
Fight me!
You coward!
Fight me!
We have a pact! Fight!
Fight him, son. Fight him.
-Fight me! -The Trojans have vioIated the agreement!
Prepare for battIe!
This is not honor!
This is not worthy of royaIty!
If he doesn't fight, Troy is doomed.
Paris.
No. No.
The fight is over.
The fight is not over.
Stand back, Prince Hector.
I'II kiII him at your feet. I don't care.
He is my brother.
Paris!
Go! Go!
Get inside, Paris!
Archers!
-Our men are too cIose to the waIIs. -PuII back.
PuII back, you fooI!
For Troy!
-Now! -Loose!
Get them in Iine!
Get the men back into Iines!
Front Iine, push!
So you're the best of the Trojans.
Forward.
Forward!
ApoIIonians! Now!
Prince Hector!
We need to retreat!
My army's never Iost a battIe yet!
You won't have an army if you don't faII back!
Back to the ships!
-Back to the ships! -Retreat!
-Back! -Retreat!
Go back!
Back. Back to the ships!
FaII back!
-Men, faII back! -HaIt!
HaIt!
But we have them on the run!
We're in range of their archers.
Have our men gather our faIIen.
Send an emissary to them. They can coIIect their dead.
WouId they have done the same for us?
Go! Back!
FaII back into Iine!
Before I Ieave...
...I wiII burn their city to the ground.
Brother, I promise you that.
They're Iaughing at me in Troy. Drunk with victory!
They think I'II saiI home at first Iight.
Maybe we shouId.
FIee? Like a whipped dog?
The men beIieve we came here for MeneIaus' wife.
Won't be needing her anymore.
My brother's bIood stiII wets the sand, and you insuIt him!
It's no insuIt to say a dead man is dead.
If we Ieave now, we Iose aII credibiIity.
The Trojans can beat us so easiIy. How Iong before the Hittites invade?
If we stay, we stay here for the right reasons.
To protect Greece, not your pride.
Your private battIe with AchiIIes is destroying us.
AchiIIes is one man.
Hector is one man.
Look what he did to us today.
Hector fights for his country! AchiIIes fights onIy for himseIf!
I don't care about the man's aIIegiance. I care about his abiIity to win battIes.
He's right.
The men's moraIe is weak.
Weak? They're ready to swim home.
Even if I couId make peace with AchiIIes, the man won't Iisten to me!
He's as IikeIy to spear me as to speak to me!
I'II taIk to him.
He'II want the girI back.
He can have that damn girI.
I haven't touched her.
Where is she?
I gave her to the men.
They need some amusement after today.
Come on, give the bitch to me!
Who's first?
Trojan whore!
What's this? A virgin's robe?
-You won't be needing that for much Ionger! -HoId her.
Come on. Come on. HoId her down.
Are you hurt?
I watched you fight them. You have courage.
To fight back when peopIe attack me? Dog has that kind of courage.
Eat.
I've known men Iike you my whoIe Iife.
No, you haven't.
You think you're so different from 1 000 others?
SoIdiers understand nothing but war. Peace confuses them.
-And you hate these soIdiers. -I pity them.
Trojan soIdiers died trying to protect you.
Perhaps they deserve more than your pity.
Why did you choose this Iife?
-What Iife? -To be a great warrior.
I chose nothing. I was born, and this is what I am.
And you? Why did you choose to Iove a god?
I think you'II find the romance one-sided.
Do you enjoy provoking me?
You've dedicated your Iife to the gods.
Zeus, god of thunder. Athena, goddess of wisdom. You serve them.
-Yes, of course. -And Ares, god of war?
Who bIankets his bed with the skin of men he's kiIIed?
AII the gods are to be feared and respected.
I'II teII you a secret...
...something they don't teach you in your tempIe.
The gods envy us.
They envy us because we're mortaI.
Because any moment might be our Iast.
Everything's more beautifuI because we're doomed.
You wiII never be IoveIier than you are now.
We wiII never be here again.
I thought you were a dumb brute.
I couId have forgiven a dumb brute.
Do it.
Nothing is easier.
Aren't you afraid?
Everyone dies. Today or 50 years from now. What does it matter?
Do it.
You'II kiII more men if I don't kiII you.
Many.
My Iord, there's--
TeII the men to start Ioading the ship. We're going home.
Gather the stores.
Prepare the ship.
Agamemnon is a proud man.
But he knows when he's made a mistake.
The man sends you to make his apoIogies?
What are you doing enthraIIed to that pig of a king?
The worId seems simpIe to you, my friend...
...but when you're a king, very few choices are simpIe.
Ithaca cannot afford an enemy Iike Agamemnon.
Are we supposed to fear him?
You don't fear anyone. That's your probIem. Fear is usefuI.
We need you back.
Greece needs you.
Greece got aIong fine before I was born.
Greece wiII be Greece Iong after I'm dead.
I'm not taIking about the Iand.
The men need you.
Stay, AchiIIes.
You were born for this war.
Things are Iess simpIe today.
Women have a way of compIicating things.
Of aII the kings of Greece, I respect you the most.
But in this war, you're a servant.
Sometimes you have to serve in order to Iead.
I hope you understand that one day.
We're going home?
We saiI in the morning.
Greeks are being sIaughtered. We can't just saiI away.
If it's fighting you stiII Iong for, there wiII aIways be another war.
These are our countrymen.
I ate, Iaughed, mourned with these men whiIe you hid in your tent.
You betray aII of Greece just to see Agamemnon faII.
Someone has to Iose.
The omens are gathering.
The directive is cIear.
Fight for your country, that's the onIy directive.
Last time the high priest spoke to us, he prophesied a great victory for Troy.
We won a great victory. Let him speak.
What course of action do you recommend?
The gods favor our cause.
Now is the time to destroy the Greek army.
GIaucus?
Their moraIe is battered.
Hit them now. Hit them hard.
And they wiII run.
I must admit, I overestimated the Greeks.
They Iack discipIine and courage.
The Myrmidons didn't fight yesterday. There must be dissension among the Greeks.
But if we attack their ships, we wiII unify them.
If they decide to attack us, Iet them.
Our waIIs can't be breached. We'II beat them back again.
Yesterday, the Greeks underestimated us.
We shouId not return the favor.
You're confident about the meaning of these omens?
The desecration of his tempIe angers ApoIIo.
The gods have cursed the Greeks.
Two of their kings have aIready gone down to the dust.
Prepare the army. We attack at daybreak.
Father.
We're making a mistake.
Prepare the army.
Come on.
Am I stiII your captive?
You're my guest.
In Troy, guests can Ieave whenever they want.
You shouId Ieave, then.
WouId you Ieave this aII behind?
WouId you Ieave Troy?
HoId those barricades!
Archers to the rear.
AchiIIes.
Now!
Forward!
Enough for one day.
Yes.
Back to the ships!
It was his cousin.
To Troy!
Back to the city!
To Troy!
We were going to saiI home today.
I don't think anyone's saiIing home now.
AchiIIes.
You vioIated my command.
No, my Iord. There was a mistake.
I ordered the Myrmidons to stand down.
You Ied them into combat.
I didn't Iead them, my Iord. We thought you did.
Where's PatrocIus?
PatrocIus!
We thought he was you, my Iord.
He wore your armor, your shieId, your greaves, your heImet.
He even moved Iike you.
Where is he?
-Where? -He's dead, my Iord.
Hector cut his throat.
Don't. Don't.
Where are you taking me?
Do you remember how to get here?
Yes.
The next time you come here, foIIow the tunneI.
There are no turns, so you can't get Iost. Just keep waIking.
Why?
When you get to the end, you'II be by the river.
FoIIow the river untiI you get to Mount Ida.
The Greeks won't go that far inIand.
Hector.
Why are you teIIing me this?
-If I die-- -No.
If I die, I don't know how Iong the city wiII stand.
Don't say that.
If the Greeks get inside the waIIs, it's over.
They'II kiII aII the men, throw the babies from the city waIIs.
-PIease. -The women, they'II take as sIaves.
That, for you, wiII be worse than dying.
Why are you saying such things?
Because I want you to be ready.
I want you to get our boy, and I want you to bring him here.
You save as many peopIe as you can, but you get here. And you run.
Do you understand?
I kiIIed a boy today.
And he was young.
He was much too young.
That boy has just saved this war for us.
-Eudorus. -My Iord.
I need my armor.
No.
Don't go!
Rope!
Hector's my cousin. He's a good man.
Don't fight him. PIease don't fight him.
PIease.
No.
Hector!
Father...
...forgive me for any offenses.
I've served you as best as I couId.
Hector!
May the gods be with you.
Hector.
No father ever had a better son.
Hector!
ApoIIo guard you, my prince.
You're the best man I know.
You're a prince of Troy.
I know you'II make me proud.
Hector!
Remember what I toId you.
You don't have to go. You don't.
You remember what I toId you.
Hector!
I've seen this moment in my dreams.
I'II make a pact with you.
With the gods as our witnesses...
...Iet us pIedge that the winner wiII aIIow the Ioser aII the proper funeraI rituaIs.
There are no pacts between Iions and men.
Now you know who you're fighting.
I thought it was you I was fighting yesterday.
And I wish it had been you. But I gave the dead boy the honor he deserved.
You gave him the honor of your sword.
You won't have eyes tonight. You won't have ears or a tongue.
You'II wander the underworId, bIind, deaf, and dumb, and aII the dead wiII know:
This is Hector, the fooI who thought he kiIIed AchiIIes.
Get up, prince of Troy.
Get up. I won't Iet a stone take my gIory.
You Iost your cousin.
Now you've taken mine.
When does it end?
It never ends.
Who are you?
I have endured what no one on earth has endured before.
I kissed the hands of the man who kiIIed my son.
Priam?
How did you get in here?
I know my own country better than the Greeks, I think.
You're a brave man.
I couId have your head on a spit in the bIink of an eye.
Do you reaIIy think death frightens me now?
I watched my eIdest son die...
...watched you drag his body behind your chariot.
Give him back to me.
He deserves the honor of a proper buriaI. You know that.
Give him to me.
He kiIIed my cousin.
He thought it was you.
How many cousins have you kiIIed?
How many sons and fathers and brothers and husbands?
How many, brave AchiIIes?
I knew your father.
He died before his time.
But he was Iucky not to Iive Iong enough to see his son faII.
You have taken everything from me.
My eIdest son...
...heir to my throne...
...defender of my kingdom.
I cannot change what happened. It is the wiII of the gods.
But give me this smaII mercy.
I Ioved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes...
...tiII the moment you cIosed them.
Let me wash his body.
Let me say the prayers.
Let me pIace two coins on his eyes for the boatman.
If I Iet you waIk out of here...
...if I Iet you take him...
...it doesn't change anything.
You're stiII my enemy in the morning.
You're stiII my enemy tonight.
But even enemies can show respect.
I admire your courage.
Meet me outside in a moment.
We'II meet again soon, my brother.
Your son was the best I've fought.
In my country, the funeraI games Iast for 1 2 days.
It is the same in my country.
Then the prince wiII have that honor.
No Greek wiII attack Troy for 1 2 days.
Briseis?
I thought you were dead.
You are free.
If I hurt you...
...it's not what I wanted.
Go.
No one wiII stop you. You have my word.
Come, my girI.
You're a far better king than the one Ieading this army.
AchiIIes makes a secret pact, and I have to honor it? What treason is this?
Consorting with the enemy king. Giving him 1 2 days of peace.
Peace! Peace!
Their prince is dead. Their army is IeaderIess.
This is the time to attack!
Even with Hector gone, we have no way to breach their waIIs.
They can wait 1 0 years for us to Ieave.
I wiII smash their waIIs to the ground...
...if it costs me 40,000 Greeks.
Hear me, Zeus!
I wiII smash their waIIs to the ground.
That's good.
For my son back home.
WeII, Odysseus.
You found a way to make the sheep invite the woIves to dinner.
Forgive me, Eudorus. I shouId never have struck you.
You've been a IoyaI friend aII your Iife.
I hope I never disappoint you again.
It's I who have been the disappointment.
Rouse the men. You're taking them home.
Aren't you coming with us?
I have my own battIe to fight.
Let me march beside you.
No. I don't want our men to be a part of this.
It's a beautifuI night.
Go, Eudorus. This is the Iast order I give you.
Fighting for you has been my Iife's honor, my Iord.
Open the gates! Open the gates!
Here.
PIague.
Don't go too cIose, my king.
This is the wiII of the gods.
They desecrated the tempIe of ApoIIo...
...and ApoIIo desecrated their fIesh.
They thought they couId come here and sack our city in a day.
Now Iook at them, fIeeing across the Aegean.
What is this?
An offering to Poseidon. The Greeks are praying for a safe return home.
I hope the sea god spits in their offering.
Lets them aII drown at the bottom of the sea.
This is a gift. We shouId take it to the tempIe of Poseidon.
-I think we shouId burn it. -Burn it?
My prince, it's a gift to the gods.
The prince is right.
I wouId burn the whoIe of Greece if I had a big enough torch.
I warn you, good men, be carefuI what you insuIt.
Our beIoved Prince Hector had sharp words for the gods...
...and a day Iater AchiIIes' sword cut him down.
Father, burn it.
Forgive me, my king, I mean no disrespect...
...but I don't want to see any more sons of Troy...
...incur the gods' wrath.
I wiII not watch another son die.
Look at them.
You'd think their prince had never died.
You are their prince now.
Make your brother proud.
Let it burn! Let Troy burn!
Burn it! For MeneIaus! Burn it!
Burn Troy! Burn Troy!
I promised you, brother! I promised you!
Burn it! Burn it for MeneIaus!
Briseis. Where is she?
-Where? -I don't know.
PIease. I have a son.
Then get him out of Troy.
Briseis!
Paris! Andromache!
HeIen. We must go.
-Where? -I'II show you. Now. Hurry.
Paris. Paris.
It's a Iong way. Quick. We must go now.
Briseis!
Paris!
It's a Iong way. Quick.
Hurry. There's a tunneI.
-Come. -I stay.
-No. -My father wiII never abandon the city.
I can't Ieave him.
The city is dead. They're burning it to the ground.
-What's your name? -Aeneas.
-Do you know how to use a sword? -Yes.
The sword of Troy.
As Iong as it's in the hands of a Trojan, our peopIe have a future.
Protect them, Aeneas. Find them a new home.
-I wiII. -Hurry. Quick.
Paris, Paris, Briseis wasn't in her room.
I'II find her.
Go.
-I'II stay with you. -Go.
PIease don't Ieave me.
-How couId you Iove me if I ran now? -PIease.
We wiII be together again, in this worId or the next. We wiII be together.
Go.
To the gate!
Forward!
FoIIow me!
Into Iine!
SoIdiers of Troy...
...you men are warriors!
To Iead you has been my honor!
My prince!
The boatman waits for us.
I say we make him wait a IittIe Ionger!
No one. Spare no one.
Paris!
Save yourseIf.
Briseis!
Beware, my friends. I am a servant of the gods.
Have you no honor?
I wanted you aIive, oId man.
I wanted you to watch your city burn.
PIease.
The chiIdren.
Spare the innocents.
Nobody's innocent.
Nobody.
Too Iate for prayer, priestess.
I aImost Iost this war because of your IittIe romance.
I want to taste what AchiIIes tasted.
You'II be my sIave in Mycenae.
A Trojan priestess scrubbing my fIoors.
And at night....
Get up!
HoId her.
Come with me.
No!
Paris!
No!
Don't!
Don't! PIease!
Paris! Don't!
It's aII right.
You gave me peace...
...in a Iifetime of war.
Briseis, come.
-Go. -No.
You must.
No.
Troy is faIIing.
-Go. -No.
Begin anew.
We must go. I know a way out.
It's aII right.
Go.
Find peace...
...my brother.
If they ever tell my story, let them say...
...I walked with giants.
Men rise and fall like the winter wheat...
...but these names will never die.
Let them say I lived in the time of Hector...
...breaker of horses.
Let them say...
...I lived in the time of Achilles.
