Rome · Season 1, Episode 15

Antony, Vorenus and others in “Unfinished Business”

Centurion Vorenus... as was.

[lying in bed] Sir.

[disgusted] Look at the fucking state of you.

It's mourning dress, sir. He...

Mourning? You may well mourn. Caesar is dead, and it was you as good as held the knife. Stand to fucking attention when I'm talking to you! [Vorenus does.] You know that your name is disgraced forever?

I do, sir.

"I do, sir"? Why then are you still alive? Why have you not done your damned duty and opened your stomach?

I would like that above all things, sir. But Dis is my master, and he will take me when he chooses. At present, he wishes for me to suffer here, on this earth.

You are wrong, Centurion. Dis is not your master. I am your master, by sacred oath under the standards of the Thirteenth. [stoops to pick up the rotting head on the floor] And this, I take it, was Erastes Fulmen?

I told him to get rid, but it calms him to look at the thing.

Not content to let our great father die, you start a damn war on the Aventine that threatens to engulf the whole fucking city! [tosses Erastes' head out the door] Now... would you like a chance to redeem yourself, Centurion?

There's no redemption.

No man is beyond redemption, Lucius. Not even you.
