Bullies

You get my wife back!

Odysseus is strangling the life out of us to provoke a reaction.

I've no option but to impose rationing on the whole city.

If we can dig from both sides,

in two months we'll have a supply line from the sea.

- What is it? - Fortified wine.

It worked when I was trying to conceive.

The king sacrificed his own daughter to appease the Gods in coming here.

Where's your Trojan Prince now?

Gone to seek help from some loyal ally?

Make sure he never gets back to the city.

Cilicia. Does that name mean anything to you?

Son of Zeus, and Leto,

great Apollo,

Eros...

help us to feed the people of Troy.

Bless our cause.

Help us to feed the people of Troy.

Bless our cause.

Help us to feed the people of Troy.

Bless our cause.

Help us to feed the people of Troy.

Bless our cause.

Help us to feed the people of Troy.

We're safe!

- Brother. - We've broken through.

- They're preparing a full supply. - They're preparing a full supply!

- A full supply! - Thank the Gods!

Are you sure you aren't sending too much?

The people of my daughter's city are starving, Chryses.

There's no such thing as too much.

Brother, do you hear that?

By Apollo...

Father!

Take the town.

Myrmidons!

Burn it all!

Get word to my daughter.

Tell them to close up the tunnels.

- Get to Troy. - Briseis!

Argh!

*TROY : Fall Of A City* Season 01 Episode 04

*TROY : The Fall Of A City* Title: "Spoils of War"

Forward!

Formation!

Strong leather!

This time tomorrow,

the city's going to feel like a different place.

We're still at war.

But we're fighting.

The supply line will bring hope,

prove to our people that whatever the Greeks do,

Troy won't be defeated.

You're the one who's made that happen.

It just feels good to do something for once.

The bread, yes, here.

I thought we deserved it.

It's been a while since we had cause to celebrate.

Feels wrong to have this much.

Well, soon we'll have more.

Get help!

You don't have fever, Madam.

No

Hector, Alexander...

- Where've you been? - I'll explain.

.. you risked your lives to give this city a lifeline.

Today, we eat and drink in your honour.

Hear, hear.

Sir...

I came through the tunnels... from Cilicia.

What happened?

The Greeks...

.. a surprise attack.

They set the fields alight,

destroyed the supplies.

The whole city was burning.

Did my father make it out?

- Myrmidons! Ah-ooh! - Myrmidons! Ah-ooh! - Myrmidons! Ah-ooh! - Myrmidons! Ah-ooh!

Look at this!

First time I've seen you take a spoil.

- Let me see her. - She's not on parade.

Well done, Achilles.

We're fortunate to have you on our side.

You're not her.

She's the priest's daughter.

- She's mine. - But, Sir...

I said she's mine.

The Greeks never came near the tunnel entrance.

It's possible they didn't even know about the ration supply

It doesn't matter. We can't allow an open route into the city.

We need to shut the tunnels down.

Father, they're our only way out

Do you want what happened to Cilicia to happen to us?

Fill them in...

.. now!

If Cilicia was attacked because they helped us,

then... we're the reason those people are dead.

Eetion chose to lend us aid.

It was a decision he made willingly, with knowledge of the dangers.

- No. - Don't let this crush your spirit, son.

Is this a punishment?

Don't.

Without Cilicia, we will starve.

Cities are lost in war.

Questioning every defeat will send you mad.

The Gods are with us.

My father knows.

We're the ones to blame.

This isn't your fault.

I helped dig the tunnels.

I brokered the alliance.

Who else does it fall on?

Paris.

He said it was Achilles.

What?

The messenger,

he said that Achilles led the attack, and murdered Eetion.

I swear on the Gods,

if I ever meet him in battle, I'll tear him apart.

That wound will fester.

You should use the ointment.

I'm sorry you lost your home.

War is war.

Cities fall.

But I didn't bring you here because I wanted a slave.

I brought you here because I thought you deserved to live.

Still refusing to use this?

I know that you don't trust us yet.

But the man behind me chose you for his own.

That makes you safer than any man or woman in this camp.

See? All it takes is just a little...

Cut me free...

.. or I kill him.

I spared you once.

I don't like repeating myself.

Your choice.

Don't fear me.

I have enough men for that.

Andromache.

- Continue. - My Lady...

Stop! What are you doing?

I need to see my father's body.

Do you ever think you'd make it there alive?

I'm a woman in mourning.

They'd let me through.

Then let me go with you.

But you need to give me time to plan safe passage.

It has to be now.

You're sweating.

- I'm fine. - Are you sick?

No.

I'm...

Go.

Now.

Why didn't you tell me?

You would have never let me go.

My love,

we will tell our child that their grandfather was good,

and strong, and he would've loved them deeply,

but now it's up to us to live.

For his grandchild.

So nothing I offer you will please you.

I had no choice, you know.

The Gods gave me no choice.

We should toast.

This was her favourite.

I forbade her to drink more than a goblet, but she always disobeyed.

She knew.

She knew I had to do it.

And she forgave her father for doing what had to be done.

To forgiveness?

You do not deserve forgiveness.

And I thank the Gods that you are no father of mine.

Where are your Gods now?

No!

No!

Please!

Please! No!

Apollo sees everything.

He will punish you.

Aphrodite...

.. tell me what to do.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

What would you do

if you were told that someone close to you was dangerous,

the cause of terrible things?

And this person...

.. do they seem violent?

Evil?

No.

In fact, you'd only really seen them trying to do right.

I'd say I was being led to distrust someone who didn't deserve it.

This war will test us, Hector.

The years will drag, our rations will shrink, and our men will die.

The city needs us to stand strong.

If we lose faith in each other...

.. Troy will fall.

Nice to be king, isn't it?

The Myrmidons fight the fight,
