Pertinax and Urbo assault Terrified Man in the market for not paying his protection money to Erastes Fulmen. Lucius Vorenus intervenes on Terrified Man's behalf and after he and Urbo insult Lucius and Niobe, Lucius slaps Urbo. Pertinax and Urbo leave after telling Lucius that he and Titus Pullo are dead men. They join Erastes Fulmen when he goes to Lucius' home and demands that the next market day, either Lucius kisses Erastes feet or Erastes will kill Lucius after his family is raped and murdered in front of him. When Lucius doesn't show up at the market, Pertinax and a group of men follow Erastes to Lucius' home, but they turn around when they find it surrounded by legionaries who bar their way.
