Priam!! Where are you?! [the gates open and Priam emerges with several guards] You broke the truce.
You broke it! [draws his sword]
Lies! [two of Priam's guards attack him, but he easily cuts them down] You killed one of my men in cold blood!
Greek trickery, not ours!
No. NO! [he kills the other three guards and advances on Priam] Odysseus wouldn't do that.
[As Paris rides up behind them, Achilles knocks Priam to the ground]
May the Gods forgive you.
[ As he raises his sword for the kill, Paris fires an arrow and pierces his heel. Achilles staggers to his knees, and Priam stabs him in the side with a dagger. Achilles tries to kill Priam again, but before he can drive his sword home Paris pierces his throat with a second arrow. Achilles falls as Paris helps Priam up.]
[weakly]... Lies. Treachery.
We didn't lie. You Greeks broke the truce.
You killed one of my men.
We never left the city during the truce!
Swear that on your brother's grave.
[kneels over him] I swear it. You were betrayed by your own side.
[Achilles stares at him for a moment, then laughs weakly]
Tell Odysseus... to him the glory. This was always a shabby war.
[Achilles dies]
