A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
It's true.
I'm going to betray you, Father.
Segestes is absolutely right.
I'll lure three Roman legions, or more,
fifteen thousand men into an ambush, and surround them…
with five hundred of my barbarian friends.
Me…
a knight of the Roman Empire.
That's exactly my plan.
And of course, Father…
I never brought you the head of Folkwin Wolfspeer.
Instead, I brought you one that looked like him.
And naturally, the real one is living here as a captured slave.
How could the truth be any different?
German!
If you repeat these lies about my son again,
I will personally stick your head on a pike
and set it next to Folkwin Wolfspeer's.
On the way back to Vetera,
we will teach these barbarians a lesson in the Teutoburg Forest!
Just as Arminius suggested.
Dismissed.
My son…
I doubted you for a moment.
Please forgive me.
It must be these damned Germanic tribesmen.
Damned Germans.
Dismissed.
-Prepare to move out. -As you command, Dominus.
Halt!
This is it, Father.
Legion, to the left.
What is your command? Secure the flanks, as always?
Ride ahead with your troops and secure the path.
And then the Empire will teach these peasants a lesson.
I know I can count on you, my good son.
A present from the emperor.
This is the symbol of a Roman knight.
A sign of strength, battle, and the might of the Empire.
I'm sure you will earn one of your own someday.
We're under attack! Shields up!
Take cover!
Retreat!
Halt.
Caius Aurelius, 19th legion.
We've been attacked. The vanguard is destroyed.
This was well-planned.
We must turn back immediately and restore order.
Arminius did say there were rebels here.
That's exactly why we've come this way.
And where is Arminius?
He's supposed to be securing our flanks!
He's probably caught up in the fighting.
We can't continue through the woods with our flank exposed.
We have to return to open ground.
Turn around!
Quick march to open ground!
Shields up!
Take my armor.
Are you sure, Dominus?
You are a free man.
Get out of here.
Father!
