ROME Season 1 Episode 4 (HBO TV Series 2005)
The opening scene starts with a campsite and someone screaming in the background. A man is hanging upside down being whipped in front of the tents. Inside the tents, Pompey is sitting with his henchmen, Cicero and Brutus, among others, saying they will soon be in Capua. Quintus, Pompey’s ‘natural’ son enters the tent after he stopped beating the hanging man, complaining that he would not confess. He says that Durio was killed and that the gold was taken by Caesar’s men. Pompey’s men fled, but Pompey claims from a source in the city that Caesar has not gotten the gold yet. Quintus says that his source, Vulpe, always gets the right answer and Pompey orders Quintus to find Caesar’s scouts. Outside, the hanging man was killed. Pompey says that without gold, Caesar must turn to violence; and with violence, he will lose the people; and “without the people, Caesar is nothing.”
