Isabella walks at the corridor heading to the emperor's room. She arrives to the door and she hears Emperor Fabius talks to his consular Lucius about Solonius disappearance and Tiagnos strange behavior at the arena.
EMPEROR FABIUS
You couldn't find him!
LUCIUS
We are still searching for him your Majesty. We will capture him soon. I put words and rewards for capturing Solonius.
Emperor Fabius looks angry and stands from his chair.
EMPEROR FABIUS
It's not only him. I suspect Tiagnos behind everything. I want you to send your best trusted men to kidnap his daughter. Kill him and make it look like an accident as usual.
I will go with you until I make sure you corss the gate of the city safe. You will need my help if something goes wrong.
SOLONIUS
Thank you my friend. I will truly miss you. I wish I know where you daughter now so that I can help her and we can leave all of us.
TIAGNOS
I will find her soon and join you in Venice. Let's go now.
They walk across the hall of the old temple. Solonius opens the front door and he goes out first to watch if it's safe. He comes to Tiagnos while standing at the door.
SOLONIUS
It's safe. Let's move.
They walk all on the street heading towards the city's gate.
EXT. RomE city - day
Tiagnos and Solonius sneak between the houses to reach the main gate of the city. While walking to pass the main gate several soldier stand in the city's main square while Roman citizens watch closely in silence.
Holeo's body is hanged on a huge pole in the middle of the square. Trash stains all over his body.
Tiagnos and Solonius stop for a while hide behind a pile of hay and wait the moment to cross the street and escape the Roman walls. Tiagnos sees Holeo's body. He stands to watch his small young body filled with blood and bruises.…show more content… Poor young man. Another victim of this ruthless emperor. We need to cross the street to the other side in order to pass the gate.
SOLONIUS
Tiagnos, you need to hide. The soldiers are all over the place. We cannot do this now. It is too risky. They might spot us. Let's hide here for a while.
Tiagnos sits and hide behind the hay. He cries over the horrible fate of Holeo.
SOLONIUS
Are you alright?
TIAGNOS
Yeah, let's move now. It is too difficult to see from here.
SOLONIUS
That old fool will never die!
TIAGNOS
(sarcastically)
Killing innocent people keep him alive.
They pass the street and the crowd still looking at Holeo's body. Tiagnos and Solonius cross the street with caution and manage to near the gate and they see one guard sleeping.
SOLONIUS
I guess we say farewell now.
TIAGNOS
Be safe my friend and take care of your family.
SOLONIUS
I hope you save your daughter from the prison and leave this city before you get captured and killed.
TIAGNOS
I will manage to survive and save my daughter. Go now.
Tiagnos watches Solonius and his family pass the gate and leaving the Roman
