:22:00
So I could tell the Greeks what I have seen.
:22:02
- Why were you not in council?
- Because I'm not a good liar.
:22:06
I don't want to frighten them.
:22:09
- Then the army is as enormous as they say?
- Leonidas...
:22:13
It is bigger than anything you can imagine.
:22:16
For six days I watched them pass. Six days!
:22:19
I ran out of numbers and still more of them
came. They're drinking the rivers dry.
:22:24
And at night, there are more of their
campfires than there are stars in the sky.
:22:33
Good.
:22:35
When I was a boy, I always wanted
to reach the stars with my spear.
:23:09
- I don't trust that woman.
- Neither do I.
:23:12
But what can we do? During the day he seeks
our advice. Then comes the night and...
:23:17
Shh!
:23:21
My lord.
:23:23
My lord!
:23:25
- Hydarnes, why must you disturb me?
- I have urgent news, my lord.
:23:29
Scouts report the Greeks
have abandoned Thessaly.
:23:32
- I knew they would. Have some wine.
- Beyond Thessaly lies the Oeta range.
:23:37
With just one pass near the sea
called Thermopylae.
:23:40
I'm in no mood for geography.
:23:43
My lord, we must send a cavalry column
to secure the pass before our army reaches it.
:23:47
You must do only what I order you to do.
:23:50
But, my lord, as a soldier it is my duty to...
:23:55
Your duty is to obey me! I don't want
the Greeks to think I'm afraid of them.
