A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
What are you doing there?
Barbarian! On your feet!
Stop, slave!
Arminius, my son.
Father.
Your barbarian woman looks like the divine Diana.
She's very honored to meet the Roman governor.
Forgive me, I'm a terrible host.
These are Tribune Quintus,
Camp Prefect Eggius, and Legate Numonius Vala.
Thusnelda's father is Segestes, from the Cherusci tribe.
A loyal vassal of the empire.
You not only look like a Barbarian, you also married one.
Such are the sacrifices we make for the Empire.
I hardly recognize myself.
Maybe it's just your true face finally showing, Arminius?
Arminius will always be a true son of Rome. Look…
You've wanted this since you were a small boy.
The Emperor has bestowed upon you a knighthood.
Gaius Julius Arminius…
a Roman knight.
Thank you, Father.
There is unrest everywhere due to the tributes.
Our patrols keep getting ambushed.
That's why we need to restore peace, with your help.
Bring me a son from every reik as a hostage.
Once we've taken their children, they will come to their senses.
Wait! We can sell this one to a gladiator school for big money.
You'll pay for that, you dog.
I see you are yourself again, my son.
Come, the officers are waiting for us.
Arminius was supposed to bring us the reiks' sons as hostages.
Where are the hostages?
The reik of the Marsi refused to give up his son.
This led the others to follow suit.
A rebellion!
Exactly.
So I have a proposal.
This is the way back to Vetera along the Rhine.
And this… This is the land of the Marsi.
So?
It's better to put out a small fire…
before the whole forest burns.
Arminius suggests we take a detour
and deal with the situation on the way.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until spring?
The area you want to lead us through is unknown.
Most areas were unknown to us at some point, Quintus.
And today, they're part of the Empire.
Because Rome never acted without caution.
Are you afraid, Tribune?
Do you think fifteen thousand sons of Rome should fear a thousand Marsi?
All right, it's settled.
We'll take the detour and teach those Barbarians a lesson.
Let him through.
