by your great names

20
00:05:26,424 --> 00:05:28,249
to come to our aid.

21
00:05:28,250 --> 00:05:29,987
Defeat the Romans.

22
00:05:29,988 --> 00:05:31,659
Destroy their ships,

their engines of war,

24
00:05:33,398 --> 00:05:35,322

[man] Hanno.

30
00:06:08,325 --> 00:06:11,402
You did not make
an offering today.

31
00:06:11,403 --> 00:06:13,899
I prefer to sacrifice a Roman.

32

00:08:06,914 --> 00:08:09,685
Wherever they go,
they leave destruction

52
00:08:09,686 --> 00:08:11,347
and call it peace.

53
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:16,022
This is the last free city
in Africa Nova.

54
00:08:17,190 --> 00:08:20,224
Today, we go into battle.

55
00:08:21,634 --> 00:08:26,262

Where death is, we are not.

59
00:08:34,438 --> 00:08:35,943
Where we are,

60
00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:38,781
death is not.

[softly] Hey.
[groans]

140
00:19:04,571 --> 00:19:06,803

I am sorry, my son.

I have not long.

I cannot endure.

150
00:19:47,009 --> 00:19:50,253
I am ready... to be taken
to another place.

151

[light chuckle]
[pained grunt]

153
00:19:55,723 --> 00:20:00,461
I remember well
when you first
were brought to us.

154
00:20:00,462 --> 00:20:03,629
A lonely boy
from the desert.
Guileless.

155
00:20:03,630 --> 00:20:04,862
Afraid.

156
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:09,097
You embraced everything
we taught you.

157
00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:15,510
You found Arishat's love.
Your soul was replenished.

158
00:20:16,777 --> 00:20:20,107
[chuckles]
When I die,

159
00:20:20,108 --> 00:20:22,946
my ancestors will meet me
in the next world.

160
00:20:25,082 --> 00:20:26,421

Hanno,

162
00:20:28,787 --> 00:20:30,722
I am done.

163
00:20:30,723 --> 00:20:34,056

170
00:21:12,228 --> 00:21:14,437
Eama! Eama!

171
00:21:19,807 --> 00:21:22,236
[woman] You must
go alone now, Hanno.

172
00:21:25,912 --> 00:21:27,813
Never let them find you.

173
00:21:29,685 --> 00:21:32,454
[woman's breath trembling]

174
00:21:32,455 --> 00:21:34,424

General Acacius.

184
00:23:39,274 --> 00:23:42,375
I have taken Numidia
in your names

185
00:23:42,376 --> 00:23:44,311
that your dominion
may eclipse that

186
00:23:44,312 --> 00:23:46,588
of every emperor
that came before you.

187
00:23:46,589 --> 00:23:49,086
Crown him with laurels, brother.

00:24:06,776 --> 00:24:08,677
[Geta] In honor
of your conquest,

192
00:24:09,647 --> 00:24:11,779
there will be games
in the Colosseum.

193
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:15,617
I require no games
in my honor.

194
00:24:15,618 --> 00:24:19,280
Serving the Senate
and the people of Rome

195
00:24:19,281 --> 00:24:21,084
is honor enough for me.

196
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:23,955
You are too modest,
Acacius.

197
00:24:23,956 --> 00:24:27,124
It does not suit a general
as accomplished as yourself.

198
00:24:29,326 --> 00:24:32,227
The glory is yours,
not mine.

199
00:24:32,228 --> 00:24:35,428
I only ask for
some respite from war

200
00:24:35,429 --> 00:24:37,001
to spend time
with my wife.

201
00:24:37,002 --> 00:24:39,542
Your wife, yes. [sniffs]

202
00:24:39,543 --> 00:24:41,302
Remember the privileges
we have granted her?

203
00:24:41,303 --> 00:24:42,743
[sword scraping]

204
00:24:42,744 --> 00:24:44,943
Where is she now
to ignore such an occasion?

205
00:24:44,944 --> 00:24:47,683
There are victories
yet still to come.

206
00:24:49,346 --> 00:24:50,851
Persia.

207
00:24:52,217 --> 00:24:53,248
India.

208
00:24:53,249 --> 00:24:54,480
[chuckles]

209
00:24:54,481 --> 00:24:57,990
Both... must be conquered.

210
00:24:59,928 --> 00:25:02,532
Rome has so many subjects.

211
00:25:02,533 --> 00:25:04,458
She must feed them.

212
00:25:05,703 --> 00:25:07,967
They can eat war.
[laughs]

213
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,973
Your triumphs
will be celebrated

214
00:25:14,811 --> 00:25:17,207
as a tribute
to the greatness

215
00:25:17,979 --> 00:25:19,308
of the Roman people.

216
00:25:26,383 --> 00:25:29,791
[men shouting]
[horses whinnying]

217
00:25:41,673 --> 00:25:42,738
[man] Go to hell!

218
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,906
[people jeering]

219
00:25:57,722 --> 00:25:59,589
[piercing animal shrieks]

220
00:25:59,590 --> 00:26:01,691
[men shouting]

221
00:26:02,925 --> 00:26:05,386
[announcer]
Macrinus of Thysdrus,

222
00:26:05,387 --> 00:26:07,696
master of gladiators!
[horn playing fanfare]

223
00:26:07,697 --> 00:26:10,095
[crowd roars]

224
00:26:10,966 --> 00:26:12,394
[animal screeching nearby]

225
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:25,011
[animal snarling]

226
00:26:26,883 --> 00:26:30,147
[screeching continues]
[loud thumping]

227
00:26:30,148 --> 00:26:32,083
Stay close.

228
00:26:32,084 --> 00:26:34,448
[snarling, thumping continue]
[chains rattling]

229
00:26:34,449 --> 00:26:36,121
[door thudding]

230
00:26:40,963 --> 00:26:43,557
[crowd roaring]

231
00:26:45,396 --> 00:26:48,363
[shouting, jeering]

232
00:26:48,364 --> 00:26:52,170
[announcer] Aediles
and the town councilors,

233
00:26:52,909 --> 00:26:55,470
distinguished guests,

234
00:26:56,572 --> 00:26:58,571
citizens of Antium,

235
00:26:58,572 --> 00:27:00,651
[jeering continues]

236
00:27:02,149 --> 00:27:04,512
behold the fate

237
00:27:05,922 --> 00:27:08,483
of the conquered enemies
of Rome:

238
00:27:09,827 --> 00:27:14,632
The barbarian Numidians
and their chieftain,

239
00:27:15,426 --> 00:27:18,393
Jugurtha!

240
00:27:18,394 --> 00:27:20,230
[loud thudding]

241
00:27:20,231 --> 00:27:22,002
[snarling]
[teeth snapping]

242
00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:44,486
[man shouting,
indistinct]

243
00:27:46,589 --> 00:27:49,062
[blows]
[baboon shrieks]

244
00:27:52,496 --> 00:27:53,902
[screeches]

245
00:27:56,940 --> 00:27:58,302
[yells]

246
00:28:06,213 --> 00:28:07,817
[screeches]
[Hanno yells]

247
00:28:14,221 --> 00:28:16,023
[growling]

248
00:28:18,995 --> 00:28:21,028
[guttural hooting]

249
00:28:35,044 --> 00:28:37,638
[screeching in agony]

250
00:28:38,575 --> 00:28:39,980
This one is interesting.

251
00:28:39,981 --> 00:28:41,279
[all cheering]

252
00:28:41,919 --> 00:28:43,787
[grunts]

253
00:28:44,746 --> 00:28:46,119
[spits]

254
00:28:49,685 --> 00:28:51,223
[yelling]

255
00:29:02,731 --> 00:29:05,270
[baboon choking]

256
00:29:06,702 --> 00:29:08,206
I'll buy him.

257
00:29:08,207 --> 00:29:10,506
[crowd chanting]

258
00:29:29,098 --> 00:29:32,363
[horse approaching]
Halt! Who goes there?

259
00:29:33,905 --> 00:29:35,135
General.

260
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:59,357
[woman murmuring softly]

261
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:12,205
My lady.

262
00:30:20,446 --> 00:30:22,852
I thank the gods
that brought you back home safe.

263
00:30:22,853 --> 00:30:25,988
Thank the Army.
They protected me.

264
00:30:27,717 --> 00:30:28,925
Mm.

265
00:30:29,961 --> 00:30:31,620
Let me feed you.

266
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:41,464
[indistinct chatter]

267
00:30:41,465 --> 00:30:44,534
[men grunting]
[weapons clashing]

268
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,352
[trainer] Go.

269
00:31:01,058 --> 00:31:02,453
To the wall.

270
00:31:13,235 --> 00:31:15,663
[trainer] The arena
is a sacred temple.

271
00:31:15,664 --> 00:31:17,368
For the bravest of you,

272
00:31:17,369 --> 00:31:20,338
the road to glory
runs through the arena.

273
00:31:20,339 --> 00:31:22,472
The arena turns slaves
into gladiators

274
00:31:22,473 --> 00:31:24,376
and gladiators into free men.

275
00:31:31,682 --> 00:31:33,220
You have worms.

276
00:31:37,193 --> 00:31:40,589
I know this one.
He eats monkeys.

277
00:31:40,590 --> 00:31:42,999
[men laughing]

278
00:31:45,795 --> 00:31:47,861
[indistinct chatter]

279
00:31:54,738 --> 00:31:57,046
[trainer] Go. Sit. Eat.

280
00:32:11,491 --> 00:32:13,557
[groans softly]

281
00:32:23,470 --> 00:32:25,107
[man hoots quietly]

282
00:32:26,770 --> 00:32:28,803
[men hooting]

283
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,840
[men mimicking baboons]

284
00:32:37,814 --> 00:32:39,990
[hooting continues, louder]

285
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,966
[chuckles]

286
00:32:57,669 --> 00:32:58,701
You.

287
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:02,507
[trainer]
Hanno, get up.

288
00:33:08,449 --> 00:33:12,550
What is
your native language?
I speak them all.

289
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,359
You don't answer because
you can't or because you won't?

290
00:33:21,528 --> 00:33:22,790
Mm, all right.

291
00:33:22,791 --> 00:33:26,662
Violence...
is the universal language.

292
00:33:26,663 --> 00:33:29,434
Viggo,
put him through his paces.

293
00:33:29,435 --> 00:33:33,340
He can fight an ape.
Let's see if he
can fight a man.

294
00:33:43,187 --> 00:33:44,978
[grunts]

295
00:33:46,047 --> 00:33:47,618
[Hanno groans]

296
00:33:55,859 --> 00:33:57,562
[Hanno exhales heavily]

297
00:34:04,065 --> 00:34:06,571
[both grunting]

298
00:34:20,818 --> 00:34:22,817
[groans heavily]

299
00:34:22,818 --> 00:34:24,655
[chuckling]

300
00:34:38,099 --> 00:34:39,406
[explosive grunt]

301
00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:44,312
[Macrinus]
Enough!

302
00:34:45,612 --> 00:34:48,349
[panting]

303
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:50,043
Very good.

304
00:34:51,552 --> 00:34:52,914
Very good.

305
00:34:54,951 --> 00:34:56,324
Hose him down.

306
00:35:00,121 --> 00:35:01,560
Bring him to me.

307
00:35:05,203 --> 00:35:06,301
[grunts]

308
00:35:08,569 --> 00:35:09,865
Ah!

309
00:35:12,804 --> 00:35:14,507
A strong jaw.

310
00:35:16,313 --> 00:35:17,806
Good arms.

311
00:35:17,807 --> 00:35:19,280
[sniffs]

312
00:35:19,281 --> 00:35:20,677
Better smell.

313
00:35:20,678 --> 00:35:22,647
[chuckles lightly]

314
00:35:23,650 --> 00:35:25,221
You will do well.

315
00:35:25,982 --> 00:35:27,915
It is an art,

316
00:35:27,916 --> 00:35:29,786
choosing gladiators.

317
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:33,558
Some choose entertainers.

318
00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:35,725
Some choose brute force.

319
00:35:35,726 --> 00:35:37,200
I choose rage.

320
00:35:37,961 --> 00:35:39,532
[Macrinus chuckles]

321
00:35:41,668 --> 00:35:43,271
Crowd loves blood.

322
00:35:43,272 --> 00:35:45,130
And they love those who
love blood as much as they do.

323
00:35:45,131 --> 00:35:47,606
And you, my friend, rage

324
00:35:48,345 --> 00:35:50,543
pours out of you like...

325
00:35:52,008 --> 00:35:53,579
like milk...

326
00:35:55,176 --> 00:35:56,483
from a whore's tit.

327
00:35:57,519 --> 00:35:59,320
You will be
quite the fighter.

328
00:35:59,321 --> 00:36:00,948
Not for you.

329
00:36:00,949 --> 00:36:03,115
You're right,
you do not fight for me.

330
00:36:03,116 --> 00:36:05,590
I put you in the ring,
you fight or you die.

331
00:36:05,591 --> 00:36:06,822
The choice is yours.

332
00:36:06,823 --> 00:36:09,858
But whose head
could I give you

333
00:36:09,859 --> 00:36:13,598
that would satisfy this fury?

334
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:15,600
The entire Roman Army's.

335
00:36:15,601 --> 00:36:17,669
[hearty laugh]

336
00:36:19,035 --> 00:36:20,209
Too much.

337
00:36:20,210 --> 00:36:21,936
Mm.

338
00:36:21,937 --> 00:36:24,103
The general will do.

339
00:36:24,104 --> 00:36:25,039
General?

340
00:36:26,482 --> 00:36:28,449
General Acacius?
Mm.

341
00:36:30,750 --> 00:36:33,354
Use your rage
in my service,

342
00:36:33,355 --> 00:36:37,227
and you will have his head
ready for your sword.

343
00:36:38,494 --> 00:36:41,528
Serve me and I will serve you.
Deny me...

344
00:36:42,894 --> 00:36:45,498
and you will die.

345
00:36:45,499 --> 00:36:47,369
[thunder rumbles
in distance]

346
00:36:48,405 --> 00:36:50,272
There are times I wished
you'd abandoned me

347
00:36:50,273 --> 00:36:52,131
rather than
fight their wars.

348
00:36:52,132 --> 00:36:54,134
I've made my choice.

349
00:36:56,171 --> 00:36:58,039
I can live with it.

350
00:37:02,177 --> 00:37:05,079
But my patience with those two
is at an end.

351
00:37:07,919 --> 00:37:10,149
Leta?

352
00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:13,692
You may go
to your quarters now.
We need nothing more.

353
00:37:20,866 --> 00:37:22,535
To hear wives and mothers
mourning their dead

354
00:37:22,536 --> 00:37:24,274
on that beach at Numidia...

355
00:37:26,806 --> 00:37:28,443
Lucilla.

356
00:37:33,582 --> 00:37:35,043
No more.

357
00:37:37,454 --> 00:37:39,585
I will not waste

358
00:37:39,586 --> 00:37:43,183
another generation
of young men for their vanity.

359
00:37:45,396 --> 00:37:48,925
If I fight another campaign,
it must be to depose them.

360
00:37:50,863 --> 00:37:52,929
When will your troops
arrive?

361
00:37:53,767 --> 00:37:56,162
They land at Ostia
in ten days.

362
00:37:56,163 --> 00:38:00,134
How many of them will be
loyal to you alone?

363
00:38:01,808 --> 00:38:03,203
All of them.

364
00:38:05,273 --> 00:38:08,944
The emperors do not have
the support of the people.

365
00:38:08,945 --> 00:38:13,719
The people are weary
of the madness, the tyranny.

366
00:38:15,118 --> 00:38:16,721
[sighs]

367
00:38:16,722 --> 00:38:20,825
What is the dream of Rome
if her people are not free?

368
00:38:22,059 --> 00:38:23,564
[chuckles softly]

369
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:28,767
[whimpers]

370
00:38:30,936 --> 00:38:33,772
[excited chatter]

371
00:38:39,846 --> 00:38:41,648
[laughing]

372
00:38:43,278 --> 00:38:45,816
[man] Enjoy yourself,
everyone,

373
00:38:45,817 --> 00:38:47,884
to excess!

374
00:38:47,885 --> 00:38:50,920
Thank you. Thank you.

375
00:38:50,921 --> 00:38:53,990
[castrato singing
to lively music]

376
00:39:02,836 --> 00:39:04,099
Oh!

377
00:39:04,838 --> 00:39:07,970
[laughs] Please, drink.

378
00:39:07,971 --> 00:39:10,842
Ah! Excuse me. Macrinus!

379
00:39:12,175 --> 00:39:14,911
I knew the provinces
were not enough for you.

380
00:39:14,912 --> 00:39:18,145
I'm just here
for the games.
Ah, well,

381
00:39:18,146 --> 00:39:19,850
you won't be disappointed.

382
00:39:19,851 --> 00:39:23,150
Rome has all the games
that men like you like to play.

383
00:39:23,151 --> 00:39:25,493
Men like me, Thraex?
Men like us.

384
00:39:25,494 --> 00:39:29,123
I know nothing happens
in Rome unless you've
tasted it first.

385
00:39:29,124 --> 00:39:30,763
[both laughing]

386
00:39:45,615 --> 00:39:47,207
What is my purpose here?

387
00:39:47,208 --> 00:39:48,682
You'll find out soon enough.

388
00:39:53,282 --> 00:39:55,523
What's this we hear
about you being interested

389
00:39:55,524 --> 00:39:59,351
in standing for election
to the Senate, Macrinus?

390
00:39:59,352 --> 00:40:01,958
Me? No, I'm, uh...

391
00:40:01,959 --> 00:40:04,532
I don't even know how
to use an abacus.

392
00:40:04,533 --> 00:40:06,260
But I do understand that

393
00:40:07,538 --> 00:40:08,899
it's customary
for your guests

394
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:11,638
to make wagers
at these affairs?

395
00:40:11,639 --> 00:40:13,872
How large a sum
did you have in mind?

396
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:17,039
A thousand gold denarii?

397
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,371
Two.

398
00:40:20,309 --> 00:40:21,550
Two?

399
00:40:23,521 --> 00:40:25,752
Denarii.
[chuckles]

400
00:40:28,922 --> 00:40:30,052
[sighs deeply]

401
00:40:30,053 --> 00:40:32,088
[knife scraping]

402
00:40:41,671 --> 00:40:44,397
Stand back! Stand back!

403
00:40:46,104 --> 00:40:47,575
My emperors.

404
00:40:47,576 --> 00:40:51,744
Lords, ladies and gentlemen,
and senators.

405
00:40:51,745 --> 00:40:54,077
For your entertainment,

406
00:40:54,783 --> 00:40:57,145
the art of combat!

407
00:40:57,146 --> 00:40:59,213
[crowd murmurs, clapping]

408
00:40:59,214 --> 00:41:00,984
[Thraex] May I present

409
00:41:00,985 --> 00:41:03,184
the barbarian versus,

410
00:41:03,185 --> 00:41:07,419
from my own stable,
the mighty Vichek!

411
00:41:07,420 --> 00:41:09,466
[applause, cheers]

412
00:41:14,605 --> 00:41:17,166
This is your gladiator?
It is.

413
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:23,270
[Thraex] Three rounds,
hand to hand.

414
00:41:23,271 --> 00:41:24,975
Swords!

415
00:41:24,976 --> 00:41:28,276
We want swords.
A fight to the death.

416
00:41:29,620 --> 00:41:32,653
No quarter to be offered...
or given.

417
00:41:32,654 --> 00:41:34,788
Fight now!
[swords scraping]

418
00:41:40,257 --> 00:41:41,355
Brother,

419
00:41:42,490 --> 00:41:44,324
let's not kill each other
for their amusement.

420
00:41:44,325 --> 00:41:45,798
[Vichek yells, grunts]

421
00:41:45,799 --> 00:41:48,328
[excited murmuring]

422
00:41:48,329 --> 00:41:50,133
[both yell, grunt]

423
00:41:59,716 --> 00:42:00,846
[cackling]

424
00:42:00,847 --> 00:42:03,344
[both yelling]

425
00:42:16,359 --> 00:42:18,062
[Vichek panting]

426
00:42:20,638 --> 00:42:22,495
[yells]

427
00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:27,038
[sword clattering]

428
00:42:28,404 --> 00:42:29,975
[scattered cheers, applause]

429
00:42:35,378 --> 00:42:37,081
[Hanno groans]

430
00:42:44,926 --> 00:42:47,387
[scattered cheers]

431
00:42:47,388 --> 00:42:49,093
[applause]

432
00:42:50,558 --> 00:42:52,162
[Geta] Remarkable!

433
00:42:52,835 --> 00:42:54,603
[giggling]

434
00:42:54,604 --> 00:42:56,199
Remarkable!

435
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,400
Thraex,
he looked expensive.
[dry chuckle]

436
00:43:00,744 --> 00:43:02,942
Congratulations.
Thank you.

437
00:43:03,912 --> 00:43:05,274
Remarkable.

438
00:43:09,852 --> 00:43:11,379
From where do you hail?

439
00:43:17,123 --> 00:43:18,386
Speak.

440
00:43:22,062 --> 00:43:23,324
I said speak.

441
00:43:23,325 --> 00:43:25,095
He is from the colonies,
Your Majesty.

442
00:43:25,096 --> 00:43:27,461
His native tongue
is all he understands.

443
00:43:33,975 --> 00:43:36,976
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.

444
00:43:38,507 --> 00:43:43,576
Smooth is the descent,
and easy is the way.

445
00:43:46,317 --> 00:43:48,658
[laughing] But...

446
00:43:50,926 --> 00:43:52,925
to come back from hell

447
00:43:52,926 --> 00:43:54,861
and view the cheerful skies,

448
00:43:54,862 --> 00:43:59,427
in this the task
and mighty labor lies."

449
00:44:00,331 --> 00:44:03,101
[panting]

450
00:44:05,974 --> 00:44:07,303
Virgil, Your Majesty.

451
00:44:08,438 --> 00:44:09,469
[Caracalla] Poetry!

452
00:44:09,470 --> 00:44:11,505
[laughter]

453
00:44:12,816 --> 00:44:15,410
Very clever, Macrinus.
Thank you.

454
00:44:16,754 --> 00:44:19,116
I've grown so bored,
but you surprise me.

455
00:44:19,117 --> 00:44:22,251
To amuse you is my only wish.

456
00:44:22,252 --> 00:44:24,089
We are amused,
we are amused.

457
00:44:26,126 --> 00:44:27,389
We are amused.

458
00:44:28,832 --> 00:44:31,965
And we all look forward
to seeing your poet

459
00:44:33,034 --> 00:44:34,428
perform in the arena.

460
00:44:34,429 --> 00:44:37,366
As do I, Your Majesties.

461
00:44:38,171 --> 00:44:39,203
Thank you.

462
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:40,710
Viggo?

463
00:44:42,142 --> 00:44:43,504
[Viggo] Come with me.

464
00:45:01,656 --> 00:45:04,129
You fought well today,
but you were lucky, too.

465
00:45:06,529 --> 00:45:09,034
The lines you recited.

466
00:45:09,035 --> 00:45:11,565
You didn't learn that
in Africa, I know that.

467
00:45:12,535 --> 00:45:14,809
A good verse travels far.
Mm.

468
00:45:14,810 --> 00:45:16,844
Who taught you poetry?

469
00:45:16,845 --> 00:45:19,077
A captured Roman officer.

470
00:45:19,078 --> 00:45:22,476
I was posted guard over him
and he used to tell us tales

471
00:45:22,477 --> 00:45:24,347
to pass the time.

472
00:45:25,317 --> 00:45:26,612
And what became
of this prisoner?

473
00:45:26,613 --> 00:45:28,087
Oh, we ate him.

474
00:45:29,453 --> 00:45:30,550
As barbarians do.

475
00:45:30,551 --> 00:45:33,025
[chuckling]
As barbarians do.

476
00:45:33,026 --> 00:45:35,093
And where were you born?

477
00:45:35,094 --> 00:45:37,491
Why does my past matter
if it is my future

478
00:45:37,492 --> 00:45:39,692
to die for you in the arena?

479
00:45:46,437 --> 00:45:48,569
Tell me what use have I
for Roman money.

480
00:45:51,849 --> 00:45:53,376
A gladiator

481
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,049
can buy his own freedom.

482
00:45:57,085 --> 00:45:58,920
His liberty.
[chuckles]

483
00:45:59,824 --> 00:46:01,614
The Roman dream.

484
00:46:01,615 --> 00:46:03,748
No, the slave dreams
not of freedom

485
00:46:03,749 --> 00:46:06,224
but of a slave
to call his own.

486
00:46:07,095 --> 00:46:08,556
Cicero.

487
00:46:09,757 --> 00:46:12,131
Is that what you were
raised on, Macrinus?

488
00:46:13,838 --> 00:46:16,399
What did you have to do
for Roman money?

489
00:46:17,732 --> 00:46:19,335
You promised me a head.

490
00:46:19,336 --> 00:46:22,141
Earn your keep
and you can have
anyone's head.

491
00:46:30,954 --> 00:46:32,744
[stone scraping]

492
00:46:32,745 --> 00:46:34,483
[door unlatches, opens]

493
00:46:41,525 --> 00:46:42,997
[thunder rumbling]

494
00:46:46,398 --> 00:46:48,265
[Lucilla] Father,

495
00:46:48,266 --> 00:46:50,763
protect us and guide us.

496
00:47:04,647 --> 00:47:06,020
Senators.

497
00:47:06,649 --> 00:47:07,857
My lady.

498
00:47:13,898 --> 00:47:17,427
My lady, I wish we were
meeting in better times.

499
00:47:18,265 --> 00:47:20,298
Better times will come.

500
00:47:21,565 --> 00:47:24,004
And why are we here?

501
00:47:24,005 --> 00:47:25,941
[Acacius]
To take back the city.

502
00:47:27,769 --> 00:47:31,342
And restore Rome
to where she should be.

503
00:47:32,774 --> 00:47:34,642
An exciting venture.

504
00:47:35,876 --> 00:47:38,349
When?
On the final day
of the games.

505
00:47:39,319 --> 00:47:42,154
My army waits for my command
at Ostia.

506
00:47:42,155 --> 00:47:44,894
Five thousand soldiers
loyal to me...

507
00:47:46,392 --> 00:47:48,820
will enter Rome
and then the Colosseum,

508
00:47:48,821 --> 00:47:50,822
where they will
arrest the emperors

509
00:47:50,823 --> 00:47:52,495
for their crimes
against the Senate

510
00:47:53,366 --> 00:47:54,904
and their people.

511
00:47:55,863 --> 00:48:00,909
Uh, this plan
is ambitious and risky.

512
00:48:00,910 --> 00:48:03,769
Rome will be yours
to administer and to--

513
00:48:03,770 --> 00:48:08,510
Marcus Aurelius talked
of restoring power
to the Senate,

514
00:48:08,511 --> 00:48:12,954
but that was a generation ago.
Much has changed.

515
00:48:12,955 --> 00:48:16,958
The people
have not seen hope

516
00:48:16,959 --> 00:48:18,388
for many years.

517
00:48:18,389 --> 00:48:22,161
But with time...
and guidance...

518
00:48:22,162 --> 00:48:23,690
[sighs sharply]

519
00:48:23,691 --> 00:48:27,199
Lucilla, you are the daughter
of Marcus Aurelius.

520
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,268
He had my loyalty.

521
00:48:31,041 --> 00:48:33,008
And so do you.

522
00:48:35,276 --> 00:48:36,737
Senator Thraex?

523
00:48:38,477 --> 00:48:41,874
Politics follows power,
my lady.

524
00:48:42,987 --> 00:48:46,054
Take back
what is rightfully yours...

525
00:48:47,057 --> 00:48:49,090
and the Senate
will support you.

526
00:48:50,192 --> 00:48:51,389
Thank you.

527
00:49:07,506 --> 00:49:08,901
Food! Food!

528
00:49:13,545 --> 00:49:16,017
When I was told of this place,

529
00:49:16,018 --> 00:49:18,218
they never mentioned
the stink.

530
00:49:20,156 --> 00:49:21,418
That would be Hanno.

531
00:49:21,419 --> 00:49:24,685
[laughter]

532
00:49:24,686 --> 00:49:27,589
Well, you'll have to
put up with me as I am.

533
00:49:27,590 --> 00:49:29,064
[laughing]

534
00:49:32,696 --> 00:49:35,796
And what's that up there?
A wolf?

535
00:49:37,569 --> 00:49:40,833
The twins there,
they were outcasts.

536
00:49:40,834 --> 00:49:42,572
Left in the hills to die.

537
00:49:44,081 --> 00:49:47,676
That wolf found them
and she suckled them
on her milk.

538
00:49:48,976 --> 00:49:51,349
Raised by an animal.
It's in their blood.

539
00:49:51,350 --> 00:49:54,254
How do you know this place?

540
00:49:55,422 --> 00:49:57,422
I know the chaos
they brought.

541
00:49:58,656 --> 00:50:01,491
This city infects
everything it touches.

542
00:50:01,492 --> 00:50:03,658
I never dreamt
it would be so big.

543
00:50:03,659 --> 00:50:05,495
Don't fall for it.

544
00:50:05,496 --> 00:50:07,531
This city is diseased.

545
00:50:08,864 --> 00:50:11,007
[peasants] Food! Food!

546
00:50:13,473 --> 00:50:15,902
[children chattering]

547
00:50:18,775 --> 00:50:20,312
[elephant trumpeting]

548
00:50:20,313 --> 00:50:22,381
[indistinct chatter, laughter]

549
00:50:34,725 --> 00:50:37,198
[man] You! Barbarian scum!

550
00:50:38,531 --> 00:50:40,795
[grunts]
[people yelling]

551
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:45,140
[woman] Help me.
Please, help me!

552
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:49,276
[all pleading]

553
00:50:52,215 --> 00:50:54,380
[horses whinnying]

554
00:51:02,291 --> 00:51:04,291
[crows squawking]

555
00:51:21,904 --> 00:51:23,178
Ah!
Thraex.

556
00:51:27,008 --> 00:51:28,072
About our wager.

557
00:51:28,073 --> 00:51:29,909
Ah. The barbarian.

558
00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:31,350
Yes, I haven't forgotten,
I always repay my debts.

559
00:51:31,351 --> 00:51:33,286
I was merely
going to suggest

560
00:51:33,287 --> 00:51:35,354
that perhaps your luck
might change.

561
00:51:35,355 --> 00:51:37,753
Shall we say
double or quits?

562
00:51:42,298 --> 00:51:43,527
Ah.
Ah.

563
00:51:43,528 --> 00:51:45,497
[both laughing]

564
00:51:50,207 --> 00:51:52,471
[people shouting, indistinct]

565
00:51:55,773 --> 00:51:57,146
[man] Get back!

566
00:52:11,426 --> 00:52:12,953
Fresh meat.

567
00:52:16,992 --> 00:52:18,893
Line up! Line up!

568
00:52:32,909 --> 00:52:35,107
[faint crowd cheering]

569
00:52:37,353 --> 00:52:39,914
[cheering continues, louder]

570
00:52:49,497 --> 00:52:52,091
Play! Play!

571
00:52:52,830 --> 00:52:56,128
[playing simple fanfare]

572
00:53:07,317 --> 00:53:09,614
Emperor Caracalla.

573
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,286
Emperor Geta.

574
00:53:12,287 --> 00:53:14,981
Citizens of Rome!

575
00:53:14,982 --> 00:53:16,851
[crowd cheering]

576
00:53:16,852 --> 00:53:19,986
These sacred games

577
00:53:19,987 --> 00:53:23,330
are held to honor
the victory of Rome

578
00:53:23,331 --> 00:53:26,498
over the barbarians of Numidia.

579
00:53:26,499 --> 00:53:27,697
[crowd booing]

580
00:53:27,698 --> 00:53:30,305
Go! Go!

581
00:53:33,167 --> 00:53:36,706
[announcer] And to honor
Rome's legionary commander,

582
00:53:36,707 --> 00:53:39,005
General Justus Acacius!

583
00:53:39,006 --> 00:53:41,777
[crowd cheering]
[man] Long live Acacius!

584
00:53:41,778 --> 00:53:43,317
[announcer] And with him

585
00:53:43,318 --> 00:53:48,080
Lucilla, the daughter
of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

586
00:53:48,081 --> 00:53:49,818
[crowd cheering]

587
00:53:49,819 --> 00:53:53,361
[woman, faintly] Lucilla!
[man] Mother of Rome!

588
00:53:54,331 --> 00:53:55,660
Acacius.

589
00:53:56,333 --> 00:53:57,365
General.

590
00:54:02,669 --> 00:54:04,998
[crowd roars]

591
00:54:04,999 --> 00:54:08,408
[chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

592
00:54:08,409 --> 00:54:13,513
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

593
00:54:14,450 --> 00:54:15,547
Speak to them.

594
00:54:15,548 --> 00:54:18,012
[man faintly]
Speak to us!

595
00:54:23,426 --> 00:54:26,217
[cheering ebbs]

596
00:54:26,218 --> 00:54:29,088
I am not an orator

597
00:54:29,089 --> 00:54:30,662
or a politician.

598
00:54:31,962 --> 00:54:33,599
I am a soldier.

599
00:54:36,065 --> 00:54:41,277
I have seen bravery
in men and women during war.

600
00:54:42,038 --> 00:54:43,807
And even once in this arena.

601
00:54:45,349 --> 00:54:47,074
So if you ask anything
of the gods...

602
00:54:48,979 --> 00:54:51,353
ask for that same bravery.

603
00:54:53,654 --> 00:54:55,786
Because Rome needs it now.

604
00:54:56,789 --> 00:54:58,888
[applause, cheers swelling]

605
00:54:59,924 --> 00:55:02,792
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

606
00:55:02,793 --> 00:55:06,027
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

607
00:55:08,031 --> 00:55:10,097
[chanting continues]

608
00:55:18,679 --> 00:55:21,239
[announcer]
From the South Gate,

609
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:26,322
fighters from the stable
of Macrinus of Thysdrus!

610
00:55:38,864 --> 00:55:40,929
From the stables

611
00:55:40,930 --> 00:55:44,603
of Emperors Caracalla
and Geta themselves,

612
00:55:44,604 --> 00:55:47,265
the undefeated champion:

613
00:55:47,266 --> 00:55:51,005
Glyceo the Destroyer!

614
00:55:51,006 --> 00:55:52,843
[crowd roars]

615
00:55:57,553 --> 00:55:58,584
Hold.

616
00:55:58,585 --> 00:56:00,488
[growling]

617
00:56:05,055 --> 00:56:06,890
[grunting]

618
00:56:11,864 --> 00:56:14,161
[roaring cheers]

619
00:56:17,771 --> 00:56:19,870
[rhino roaring]

620
00:56:21,368 --> 00:56:23,203
[Hanno] Hold.

621
00:56:24,514 --> 00:56:26,107
Hail Caesars!

622
00:56:27,748 --> 00:56:31,210
[crowd chanting]
Glyceo! Glyceo! Glyceo!

623
00:56:31,211 --> 00:56:33,246
[chanting continues]

624
00:56:37,593 --> 00:56:40,396
[rhino roars]

625
00:56:42,796 --> 00:56:46,060
Hold together
and when it charges,
break for the wall.

626
00:56:46,061 --> 00:56:46,996
[man] Why should I?

627
00:56:51,233 --> 00:56:52,100
[Hanno] Hold!

628
00:56:53,268 --> 00:56:54,442
Hold!

629
00:56:54,443 --> 00:56:55,367
Break!

630
00:56:56,436 --> 00:56:57,743
Cowards!

631
00:57:00,077 --> 00:57:01,274
[yells]

632
00:57:02,409 --> 00:57:03,914
[groaning]

633
00:57:07,084 --> 00:57:08,347
[yells]
[axe clattering]

634
00:57:09,691 --> 00:57:11,756
[huffing]

635
00:57:11,757 --> 00:57:13,891
To the wall!

636
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,190
[grunts heavily]

637
00:57:17,963 --> 00:57:19,467
[rhino groaning loudly]

638
00:57:19,468 --> 00:57:20,964
[grunts]

639
00:57:25,905 --> 00:57:26,936
Come on!

640
00:57:26,937 --> 00:57:28,169
[roars]

641
00:57:32,912 --> 00:57:34,780
[grunts]

642
00:57:35,277 --> 00:57:36,847
[screaming]

643
00:57:36,848 --> 00:57:39,949
[cheering]

644
00:57:39,950 --> 00:57:41,413
[giggling]

645
00:58:17,858 --> 00:58:20,122
[guttural roaring]

646
00:58:41,343 --> 00:58:43,882
[rhino bellowing]

647
00:58:45,512 --> 00:58:47,182
[excited cheering]

648
00:58:47,921 --> 00:58:50,152
[rhino groaning]

649
00:58:57,095 --> 00:58:58,226
[gasps]

650
00:59:00,065 --> 00:59:01,537
[both grunting]

651
00:59:08,909 --> 00:59:10,171
[roaring]

652
00:59:10,172 --> 00:59:13,109
Brother, it's that poet,
is it not?

653
00:59:13,914 --> 00:59:15,979
I can't remember.

654
00:59:15,980 --> 00:59:17,718
That night was a blur.

655
00:59:19,084 --> 00:59:21,820
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.

656
00:59:21,821 --> 00:59:24,988
Smooth the desc--"
I forget.

657
00:59:24,989 --> 00:59:26,760
"Smooth the descent..."

658
00:59:27,587 --> 00:59:29,664
"Smooth is the descent,

659
00:59:30,194 --> 00:59:31,897
easy is the way."

660
00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:40,609
Shield!

661
01:00:08,298 --> 01:00:09,770
[yelling]

662
01:00:16,812 --> 01:00:20,308
[crowd chanting]
Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!

663
01:00:22,147 --> 01:00:23,344
Blood.

664
01:00:26,415 --> 01:00:27,513
Lucilla,

665
01:00:28,219 --> 01:00:29,580
shall we show mercy?

666
01:00:29,581 --> 01:00:31,253
Mercy.

667
01:00:33,422 --> 01:00:35,422
[chanting continues]

668
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,632
No mercy!

669
01:00:48,633 --> 01:00:50,601
Your life has been
spared by the gods--

670
01:00:50,602 --> 01:00:54,683
I would sooner face your blade
than accept Roman mercy!

671
01:00:59,987 --> 01:01:02,020
[both grunting]

672
01:01:04,453 --> 01:01:05,616
[attacking yell]

673
01:01:05,617 --> 01:01:06,650
[grunts]

01:01:06,651 --> 01:01:09,126
[crowd roaring]

01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,262
[chanting]
Kill! Kill! Kill!

676
01:01:14,263 --> 01:01:17,464
Kill! Kill! Kill!

[rhino groaning]

681
01:02:02,016 --> 01:02:04,720
The road to freedom
doesn't run
through the arena.

682
01:02:05,514 --> 01:02:07,052
It leads to this.

683
01:02:11,553 --> 01:02:13,487
Go to your cells.

684
01:02:15,799 --> 01:02:17,325
[all cheering, clapping]

685
01:02:17,326 --> 01:02:20,901
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

[dog whimpers]

688
01:02:37,777 --> 01:02:39,183
Come on, let's go.

689
01:02:52,396 --> 01:02:55,628
"Gates of hell
are open night and day.

690
01:02:56,631 --> 01:02:58,366
[voice wavering]
Smooth is the descent...

01:02:58,367 --> 01:03:00,303
[crying]
...easy is the way."

01:03:06,881 --> 01:03:08,277
<i>And I've got you.</i>

<i>I'm Maximus,
the savior of Rome!</i>

695
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:32,533
Scatto and Argento.

696
01:03:34,768 --> 01:03:37,472
[people cheer, echoing]

697
01:03:40,884 --> 01:03:42,642
[gasping softly]

698
01:03:46,285 --> 01:03:47,647
Lucius is safe?

699
01:04:05,469 --> 01:04:06,534
[Lucilla] Lucius!

700
01:04:16,876 --> 01:04:18,414
[horse whinnies]

701
01:04:19,219 --> 01:04:21,185
[Lucilla] Lucius,

702
01:04:21,186 --> 01:04:24,189
you're the sole heir
to the throne now.

703
01:04:25,929 --> 01:04:27,323
There are men
who want to kill you

704
01:04:27,324 --> 01:04:28,820
so they can take power.

705
01:04:30,494 --> 01:04:33,791
I promise I'll bring you back
as soon as it's safe.

706
01:04:33,792 --> 01:04:37,498
Mother, why can't you
come with me?

707
01:04:37,499 --> 01:04:40,039
[crying] I... I have to
stay here for your sake.

708
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,140
[sniffles]
And for the sake of Rome.

709
01:04:42,141 --> 01:04:44,703
Remember who you are.

710
01:04:44,704 --> 01:04:46,607
And that I love you.

711
01:04:47,346 --> 01:04:48,708
I love you.

712
01:04:49,645 --> 01:04:50,677
[man] Come.

713
01:04:53,913 --> 01:04:55,319
Give me your leg.

714
01:04:57,125 --> 01:04:58,926
Go. Go!

715
01:04:58,927 --> 01:05:00,357
[horse whinnies]

716
01:05:05,562 --> 01:05:07,067
[doctor] So...

717
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,663
[Hanno grunts]

718
01:05:10,369 --> 01:05:11,797
What's your name?

719
01:05:13,504 --> 01:05:14,568
[exhales]

720
01:05:14,569 --> 01:05:17,209
I'm Ravi. I'm a doctor.

721
01:05:18,410 --> 01:05:22,015
Because... more men die
of infected wounds

722
01:05:22,016 --> 01:05:24,579
than out there, in the arena.

723
01:05:25,945 --> 01:05:28,879
This needs to be cleaned,
it needs to be stitched and

724
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,684
[exclaims softly]
it is going to hurt.

725
01:05:31,685 --> 01:05:32,916
Mm.

726
01:05:32,917 --> 01:05:36,030
This is Devil's Breath
and opium.

727
01:05:36,626 --> 01:05:38,164
It's for the pain.

728
01:05:39,134 --> 01:05:40,826
You should breathe in.

729
01:05:42,104 --> 01:05:43,102
[inhales sharply,
grunts]

730
01:05:43,103 --> 01:05:45,138
[deep inhale]

731
01:05:46,801 --> 01:05:48,404
[Ravi] I've been here
so long now,

732
01:05:48,405 --> 01:05:50,934
I don't even notice anymore.

733
01:05:50,935 --> 01:05:53,740
I've done more amputations
than I can count.

734
01:05:54,908 --> 01:05:57,578
Where'd you
learn your trade?
Why do you ask?

735
01:05:57,579 --> 01:05:59,284
You've got a heavy hand.

736
01:06:00,650 --> 01:06:02,220
I used to be
a gladiator myself.

737
01:06:02,221 --> 01:06:03,683
Ah.

738
01:06:03,684 --> 01:06:05,883
And would you have bested me?
[Ravi chuckles]

739
01:06:05,884 --> 01:06:07,424
In your prime, of course.

740
01:06:08,592 --> 01:06:11,328
In your current state,
I could best you now.

741
01:06:11,329 --> 01:06:13,000
[laughs]

742
01:06:13,001 --> 01:06:16,333
Luckily for you,
I have put down my sword.

743
01:06:16,334 --> 01:06:18,632
So now I spend my days
[groaning]

744
01:06:18,633 --> 01:06:21,305
saving lives
instead of taking them.

745
01:06:21,306 --> 01:06:22,735
[inhales, grunts]

746
01:06:22,736 --> 01:06:25,277
And why such a change
so late in life?

747
01:06:26,148 --> 01:06:28,411
What we do in life

748
01:06:28,412 --> 01:06:30,941
echoes in eternity.

749
01:06:30,942 --> 01:06:32,812
[panting softly]

750
01:06:34,519 --> 01:06:36,254
I feel like
I know those words.

751
01:06:36,255 --> 01:06:38,850
[Ravi chuckles]
I can't take credit.

752
01:06:38,851 --> 01:06:41,523
It's written on
one of the tombs.

753
01:06:41,524 --> 01:06:44,295
Over the bones of a gladiator.

754
01:06:44,296 --> 01:06:45,725
[sharp grunt of pain]
[Macrinus] My champion!

755
01:06:45,726 --> 01:06:47,991
I smell Devil's Breath!

756
01:06:47,992 --> 01:06:50,334
[laughing]

757
01:06:50,335 --> 01:06:53,734
My... champion.

758
01:06:54,704 --> 01:06:56,473
Did you hear that crowd?

759
01:06:59,478 --> 01:07:01,676
Did you hear that crowd?
Mm-hm.

760
01:07:03,185 --> 01:07:05,844
You have something.
I knew it from the start.

761
01:07:05,845 --> 01:07:09,750
Did you now?
Yes. The Greeks call it...

762
01:07:10,555 --> 01:07:12,158
<i>thymos.</i>

763
01:07:12,159 --> 01:07:13,523
Smoke.

764
01:07:14,229 --> 01:07:15,591
Rage.

765
01:07:16,561 --> 01:07:18,660
That rage is your gift.

766
01:07:19,333 --> 01:07:22,201
Like the great Achilles.

767
01:07:22,202 --> 01:07:24,632
Never let it go.

768
01:07:24,633 --> 01:07:27,602
It will carry you
to greatness,

769
01:07:27,603 --> 01:07:29,407
my champion.

770
01:07:37,681 --> 01:07:40,682
[horses whinny, snort]

771
01:07:48,857 --> 01:07:50,988
Thank you

772
01:07:50,989 --> 01:07:53,023
for inviting me.

773
01:07:53,024 --> 01:07:55,070
This is truly an honor.

774
01:08:00,099 --> 01:08:02,109
I hear you are
the talk of the court.

775
01:08:02,110 --> 01:08:03,441
[kissing hand]

776
01:08:04,378 --> 01:08:05,410
Yes.

777
01:08:06,281 --> 01:08:07,742
We've met before.

778
01:08:08,448 --> 01:08:10,481
Have we?
Long ago.

779
01:08:11,946 --> 01:08:13,582
Where?

780
01:08:13,583 --> 01:08:15,584
I was in the service
of your father's army

781
01:08:15,585 --> 01:08:17,686
on his African campaign.

782
01:08:18,887 --> 01:08:20,920
You served
with my father?

783
01:08:21,461 --> 01:08:23,164
[groaning]

784
01:08:24,629 --> 01:08:25,760
Mm.

785
01:08:26,433 --> 01:08:28,466
I had the privilege

786
01:08:29,469 --> 01:08:31,171
of reading
his "Meditations."

787
01:08:31,172 --> 01:08:32,437
Mm.

788
01:08:35,409 --> 01:08:37,376
"The best revenge

789
01:08:38,478 --> 01:08:41,743
is to be unlike him
who performed the injury."

790
01:08:43,978 --> 01:08:46,615
I hear you've been
arming half the legions

791
01:08:46,616 --> 01:08:51,687
in the entire empire,
and here, now, in Rome...

792
01:08:52,987 --> 01:08:55,987
you're gaining influence
by sponsoring gladiators.

793
01:08:55,988 --> 01:08:58,198
I do it for the love
of the sport.

794
01:08:58,199 --> 01:09:01,235
And where did you find
these gladiators?

795
01:09:02,161 --> 01:09:04,964
They're usually
prisoners of war.

796
01:09:05,868 --> 01:09:09,440
Or vagrants.
Why do you ask?

797
01:09:09,441 --> 01:09:12,213
A man can choose to fight...

798
01:09:14,107 --> 01:09:15,809
and stay alive.

799
01:09:15,810 --> 01:09:18,978
It's the same in life as it is
in the arena, is it not?

800
01:09:21,455 --> 01:09:23,146
Who is this?

801
01:09:23,147 --> 01:09:25,589
That is my father
as a youth.

802
01:09:28,759 --> 01:09:30,087
[Macrinus]
<i>She had a child?</i>

803
01:09:30,088 --> 01:09:31,924
Mm. [swallows]

804
01:09:31,925 --> 01:09:34,432
It's common knowledge.
When Commodus was killed,

805
01:09:34,433 --> 01:09:36,302
the boy disappeared.
Mm.

806
01:09:36,303 --> 01:09:38,469
But who would care?
Lucilla would care.

807
01:09:38,470 --> 01:09:41,176
More wine!
More wine!

808
01:09:42,509 --> 01:09:46,005
He was of the royal bloodline,
after all.

809
01:09:47,712 --> 01:09:49,106
And his father?

810
01:09:49,107 --> 01:09:53,946
[senator] Ostensibly,
Lucius Verus.

811
01:09:53,947 --> 01:09:55,816
See, it was
an arranged marriage.

812
01:09:55,817 --> 01:09:56,982
She was 14.

813
01:09:56,983 --> 01:10:00,458
Mm.
Females were not his taste.

814
01:10:00,459 --> 01:10:01,921
Nor mine, some days.
Nor yours!

815
01:10:01,922 --> 01:10:03,461
[both laugh]

816
01:10:03,462 --> 01:10:07,795
No, no, no.
By rumor, you see,
she took lovers.

817
01:10:07,796 --> 01:10:11,998
And by rumor,
the real father...
was Commodus.

818
01:10:12,935 --> 01:10:15,473
Brotherly love,
you see?
Yeah.

819
01:10:15,474 --> 01:10:17,168
If he died,

820
01:10:18,171 --> 01:10:20,676
there has to be remains.
Mm.

821
01:10:20,677 --> 01:10:24,108
And if he lived,
that would make him about...

822
01:10:24,109 --> 01:10:26,286
Um, well,
let's work it out.

823
01:10:26,287 --> 01:10:29,751
He was about 12
when he died?
Yes.

824
01:10:29,752 --> 01:10:34,086
So that would make him...

825
01:10:36,530 --> 01:10:38,992
[heavy door rumbling]

826
01:10:42,437 --> 01:10:44,536
[squeaking]

827
01:10:51,908 --> 01:10:53,941
[hoofbeats thudding]

828
01:11:09,728 --> 01:11:10,595
My lady.

829
01:11:11,224 --> 01:11:12,091
Gracchus.

830
01:11:13,226 --> 01:11:15,094
Please come.
Thank you.

831
01:11:33,917 --> 01:11:35,290
Gladiator...

832
01:11:36,788 --> 01:11:37,787
do you know me?

833
01:11:46,193 --> 01:11:47,533
Do you have a family?

834
01:11:50,065 --> 01:11:53,308
A wife. Arishat.

835
01:11:54,839 --> 01:11:56,299
Arishat.

836
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:59,611
She was killed
under your husband's command.

837
01:12:02,308 --> 01:12:04,516
[sighing] Rome drowns
in its own blood.

838
01:12:04,517 --> 01:12:06,882
And yet you enjoy
the pleasures of the Colosseum.

839
01:12:08,182 --> 01:12:11,051
There is much
you do not understand.

840
01:12:17,862 --> 01:12:19,025
Lucius.

841
01:12:19,026 --> 01:12:21,192
I do not know
who you think I am.

842
01:12:21,193 --> 01:12:22,667
[Lucilla's breath trembles]

843
01:12:23,505 --> 01:12:25,438
My name is Hanno,

844
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,936
and I have no mother,
or none that I can remember.

845
01:12:31,106 --> 01:12:32,578
[sniffles]

846
01:12:34,648 --> 01:12:36,680
[crying] I'm so sorry.

847
01:12:36,681 --> 01:12:38,880
If your son were here,
I feel sure he would tell you

848
01:12:38,881 --> 01:12:40,915
not to grieve him.

849
01:12:40,916 --> 01:12:42,752
For he would not be the boy
that you sent away.

850
01:12:42,753 --> 01:12:44,755
That boy is dead.

851
01:12:47,155 --> 01:12:49,254
You may think
I have little worth.

852
01:12:50,895 --> 01:12:52,928
You may think
I betrayed you.

853
01:12:54,899 --> 01:12:56,701
But I need you to know...

854
01:12:58,100 --> 01:13:01,133
if you will not have
your mother's love,

855
01:13:01,134 --> 01:13:04,038
then take
your father's strength.

856
01:13:05,239 --> 01:13:06,645
You need it.

857
01:13:08,913 --> 01:13:13,146
His name was
Maximus Decimus Meridius.

858
01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:16,049
And I see him in you.

859
01:13:16,050 --> 01:13:17,458
Get out.

860
01:13:19,561 --> 01:13:22,056
[Gracchus]
My lady, we must go at once!

861
01:13:22,762 --> 01:13:24,256
[Lucilla sobs]

862
01:13:25,534 --> 01:13:27,995
Lucius, you were loved

863
01:13:27,996 --> 01:13:31,229
by myself
and by your father.

864
01:13:31,230 --> 01:13:32,329
[sniffles]

865
01:13:32,330 --> 01:13:33,902
Your name
was on his lips--

866
01:13:33,903 --> 01:13:35,740
Get out!

867
01:13:40,615 --> 01:13:42,009
[panting]

868
01:13:42,010 --> 01:13:43,913
[door shuts]

869
01:13:53,122 --> 01:13:54,627
[Lucilla exhales]

870
01:14:01,768 --> 01:14:03,702
Lucius is alive.

871
01:14:06,036 --> 01:14:07,903
Are you certain?

872
01:14:07,904 --> 01:14:09,235
Yes.

873
01:14:10,172 --> 01:14:11,512
I know my son.

874
01:14:14,583 --> 01:14:16,451
I spoke to him
tonight.

875
01:14:19,819 --> 01:14:22,919
He may be lost to me
for what I did,

876
01:14:24,153 --> 01:14:25,823
but he lives.

877
01:14:27,057 --> 01:14:29,727
The third day of the games
is tomorrow.

878
01:14:29,728 --> 01:14:31,388
Most fighters won't survive.

879
01:14:31,389 --> 01:14:32,797
Acacius,

880
01:14:34,163 --> 01:14:35,668
you must help him.

881
01:14:36,495 --> 01:14:38,396
Help him?
[crying] Yes.

882
01:14:40,906 --> 01:14:43,401
I failed him then.

883
01:14:43,942 --> 01:14:45,480
I know I did.

884
01:14:47,275 --> 01:14:49,374
I cannot fail him now.

885
01:14:52,016 --> 01:14:53,553
The army is in Ostia.

886
01:14:53,554 --> 01:14:56,413
If we wait a few days...

887
01:14:56,414 --> 01:14:58,493
He could be dead
by then.

888
01:15:00,519 --> 01:15:01,924
Acacius,

889
01:15:01,925 --> 01:15:05,566
I would willingly
give my life for Rome,

890
01:15:06,767 --> 01:15:09,163
but I will not
give my son's.

891
01:15:15,369 --> 01:15:17,644
[Viggo] And one.

892
01:15:18,471 --> 01:15:20,305
And two.

893
01:15:20,306 --> 01:15:23,110
And one.
[all groaning with effort]

894
01:15:23,111 --> 01:15:26,015
Together.
Timing, timing, timing!

895
01:15:27,315 --> 01:15:30,349
And one. And two.

896
01:15:31,022 --> 01:15:33,021
And one.

897
01:15:33,022 --> 01:15:34,991
Pause, pause!

898
01:15:37,831 --> 01:15:39,159
We won't get far
like this.

899
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:40,765
[all laughing]

900
01:15:40,766 --> 01:15:43,229
Just him. You go.

901
01:15:43,230 --> 01:15:45,033
Go!

902
01:15:45,034 --> 01:15:48,576
Let's see how far you can go
on your own without your team.

903
01:15:50,305 --> 01:15:51,842
Ready?

904
01:15:51,843 --> 01:15:53,141
One!

905
01:15:54,012 --> 01:15:55,010
And two!

906
01:15:55,011 --> 01:15:57,145
Timing, timing!

907
01:15:57,851 --> 01:15:59,213
Come on, more!

908
01:16:00,579 --> 01:16:01,556
[grunts]

909
01:16:04,517 --> 01:16:06,055
[Viggo] More!

910
01:16:13,867 --> 01:16:15,867
[Lucius groans loudly]

911
01:16:18,938 --> 01:16:20,740
[heavy grunt]

912
01:16:22,942 --> 01:16:24,204
Leave him.

913
01:16:24,205 --> 01:16:26,273
[indistinct chatter]

914
01:16:27,342 --> 01:16:29,210
[huffs, grunts]

915
01:16:39,453 --> 01:16:40,727
[cork pops]

916
01:16:43,061 --> 01:16:46,458
[stammering]
It's just vinegar,
my friend.

917
01:16:47,230 --> 01:16:48,426
[pained groan]

918
01:16:48,427 --> 01:16:50,968
There will be
no more opium for you.

919
01:16:52,301 --> 01:16:56,038
There is plenty of pain waiting
for you in the next life.

920
01:16:56,039 --> 01:16:59,438
I don't know why
you are so greedy for it
in this one.

921
01:17:04,148 --> 01:17:05,652
Are you a free man, Ravi?

922
01:17:05,653 --> 01:17:07,512
[dry chuckle] "Free."

923
01:17:09,252 --> 01:17:11,724
I am. Mm.

924
01:17:11,725 --> 01:17:13,319
I laid down my sword

925
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,420
and I swore never
to pick it up again.

926
01:17:15,421 --> 01:17:17,092
And yet
you choose this hell?

927
01:17:17,093 --> 01:17:18,797
Mm-hm.

928
01:17:18,798 --> 01:17:20,162
What was your home before?

929
01:17:21,429 --> 01:17:22,900
Varanasi.

930
01:17:22,901 --> 01:17:25,265
And why don't you go back?

931
01:17:25,266 --> 01:17:26,805
I wish I could.

932
01:17:26,806 --> 01:17:28,566
[breath hissing]
But...

933
01:17:31,109 --> 01:17:33,142
I met a woman.
[laughs]
Ah.

934
01:17:34,013 --> 01:17:36,474
It's always a woman.
Always.

935
01:17:36,475 --> 01:17:40,544
She is from Londinium.
Britannia. You know.

936
01:17:40,545 --> 01:17:42,447
So now...

937
01:17:42,448 --> 01:17:45,483
our sons,
they speak only Latin.

938
01:17:45,484 --> 01:17:47,991
My daughter's eyes,
they are as blue as yours.

939
01:17:47,992 --> 01:17:49,455
[chuckles lightly]

940
01:17:50,656 --> 01:17:52,292
We are Romans now.

941
01:17:52,293 --> 01:17:56,000
I grew up hearing stories
at my grandfather's knee.

942
01:17:57,168 --> 01:18:00,499
He used to talk
of the dream that was Rome.

943
01:18:02,811 --> 01:18:06,780
It was so fragile,
you could only whisper it...

944
01:18:09,048 --> 01:18:10,850
or it would vanish.

945
01:18:11,710 --> 01:18:13,280
[whispering] So,

946
01:18:13,281 --> 01:18:15,018
what was this dream?

947
01:18:15,019 --> 01:18:19,617
A Rome where all could live
under fair law and be protected.

948
01:18:20,554 --> 01:18:22,455
A Rome of the Senate.

949
01:18:24,063 --> 01:18:25,623
A Rome of hope.

950
01:18:28,694 --> 01:18:33,135
Your grandfather,
he sounds like
a dangerous man.

951
01:18:33,136 --> 01:18:34,368
Hm.

952
01:18:37,076 --> 01:18:39,372
The odds are against you.

953
01:18:39,373 --> 01:18:40,748
[light chuckle]

954
01:18:41,575 --> 01:18:43,641
The odds
are always against me.

955
01:18:44,578 --> 01:18:45,851
Don't worry, old man.

956
01:18:45,852 --> 01:18:47,787
Eh?
[both laughing]

957
01:18:47,788 --> 01:18:49,614
[muttering]

958
01:18:51,189 --> 01:18:53,354
You should
get some rest. Hm?
Mm.

959
01:18:54,423 --> 01:18:56,896
Your men will need you
to lead them tomorrow.

960
01:19:04,697 --> 01:19:07,840
[gates rumbling open]

961
01:19:07,841 --> 01:19:10,569
[crowd cheering]
[drums thudding]

962
01:19:13,211 --> 01:19:14,947
This is about survival.

963
01:19:16,049 --> 01:19:17,476
Survive!

964
01:19:17,477 --> 01:19:21,348
[announcer]
In the name of Poseidon,

965
01:19:21,349 --> 01:19:25,583
we celebrate the glory
of naval war.

966
01:19:25,584 --> 01:19:27,420
[Lucius]
They have archers.

967
01:19:27,421 --> 01:19:29,994
Be ready.
Listen for my commands.

968
01:19:29,995 --> 01:19:32,799
Stay together
and pull as one, yes?

969
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:33,756
[all] Yes!

970
01:19:33,757 --> 01:19:36,133
Yes?
Yes!

971
01:19:38,467 --> 01:19:40,632
[hull creaking]

972
01:19:42,977 --> 01:19:45,768
[announcer]
Today we relive

973
01:19:45,769 --> 01:19:49,409
the Battle of Salamis!

974
01:19:49,410 --> 01:19:50,575
[crowd cheering]

975
01:19:50,576 --> 01:19:55,218
The Trojans
versus the Persians!

976
01:19:59,752 --> 01:20:01,323
Oars out!
[all] Oars!

977
01:20:02,095 --> 01:20:04,259
And... pull!

978
01:20:04,260 --> 01:20:05,932
[all grunting explosively]

979
01:20:23,809 --> 01:20:25,918
Archers!
[men yelling]

980
01:20:25,919 --> 01:20:26,854
Archers!

981
01:20:28,990 --> 01:20:30,022
Pull!

982
01:20:38,934 --> 01:20:40,724
Pull!

983
01:20:40,725 --> 01:20:43,397
[all grunting]
[screams]

984
01:20:43,398 --> 01:20:44,399
Pull!

985
01:20:45,336 --> 01:20:47,501
[grunts, screams]

986
01:20:52,981 --> 01:20:54,607
[muffled screaming]

987
01:20:56,281 --> 01:20:57,642
[all yelling]

988
01:20:57,643 --> 01:21:00,052
Pull! To my time!

989
01:21:00,813 --> 01:21:02,120
And... now!

990
01:21:04,718 --> 01:21:07,157
Left side! Ready, and

991
01:21:07,158 --> 01:21:09,192
ship oars now!

992
01:21:09,193 --> 01:21:11,327
Oars in! Oars in!

993
01:21:12,825 --> 01:21:13,692
Get down!

994
01:21:16,004 --> 01:21:17,069
[screams]

995
01:21:18,369 --> 01:21:19,907
[straining]

996
01:21:22,373 --> 01:21:24,505
[crowd cheering]

997
01:21:29,875 --> 01:21:33,876
And pull! And pull!

998
01:21:33,877 --> 01:21:36,549
[men grunting rhythmically]

999
01:21:36,550 --> 01:21:38,848
[man] Don't stop!

1000
01:21:38,849 --> 01:21:41,026
[grunting]

1001
01:21:41,027 --> 01:21:42,357
Pull!

1002
01:21:42,358 --> 01:21:43,997
[men shout in unison]

1003
01:21:44,890 --> 01:21:46,329
And right!

1004
01:21:51,930 --> 01:21:53,467
Ready to ram!

1005
01:21:53,468 --> 01:21:55,568
[Romans shouting, indistinct]

1006
01:21:55,569 --> 01:21:58,208
And brace! Brace!

1007
01:21:58,209 --> 01:22:00,079
[all yelling]

1008
01:22:06,186 --> 01:22:07,581
[all shouting]

1009
01:22:12,291 --> 01:22:15,325
[cheering]

1010
01:22:23,236 --> 01:22:25,137
[all grunting]

1011
01:22:30,045 --> 01:22:31,209
[gasping]

1012
01:22:38,152 --> 01:22:39,580
[soldier] Everyone regroup!

1013
01:22:43,949 --> 01:22:45,585
[screaming]

1014
01:22:45,586 --> 01:22:47,489
[fighting grunts]

1015
01:23:12,153 --> 01:23:13,943
[grunts]

1016
01:23:13,944 --> 01:23:15,813
[crowd exclaiming]

1017
01:23:15,814 --> 01:23:17,849
Praetorians!

1018
01:23:19,193 --> 01:23:21,753
[crowd chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1019
01:23:21,754 --> 01:23:22,787
Move, move.

1020
01:23:22,788 --> 01:23:25,296
[chanting continues]

1021
01:23:29,632 --> 01:23:32,896
[announcer]
In the name of the emperors...

1022
01:23:32,897 --> 01:23:37,506
the victor is Hanno!

1023
01:23:40,181 --> 01:23:42,445
[all chanting in support]

1024
01:23:49,190 --> 01:23:51,124
Who did this?

1025
01:23:53,854 --> 01:23:56,063
Who did this?!

1026
01:23:56,725 --> 01:23:58,988
It was me!
I did it!

1027
01:23:58,989 --> 01:24:00,892
I did it! I did it! I did it!
It was me!

1028
01:24:05,470 --> 01:24:07,569
Geta will want retribution
for all of you.

1029
01:24:08,638 --> 01:24:09,933
Did you learn to shoot
in the same place

1030
01:24:09,934 --> 01:24:11,506
you learned to recite poetry?

1031
01:24:11,507 --> 01:24:12,738
Be glad it wasn't me,

1032
01:24:12,739 --> 01:24:14,212
or that arrow
would have found you.

1033
01:24:14,213 --> 01:24:16,347
[men laughing]

1034
01:24:18,010 --> 01:24:20,152
[indistinct chatter]

1035
01:24:20,153 --> 01:24:22,551
[faint music playing]

1036
01:24:29,956 --> 01:24:31,428
Be seated.

1037
01:24:33,927 --> 01:24:35,366
I have news for you.

1038
01:24:39,867 --> 01:24:41,339
He's here, sir.

1039
01:24:42,243 --> 01:24:44,407
[door opens]

1040
01:24:44,408 --> 01:24:46,443
[Macrinus]
Oh, still here.

1041
01:24:47,182 --> 01:24:48,576
[Thraex laughs nervously]

1042
01:24:48,577 --> 01:24:50,072
Macrinus.

1043
01:24:50,073 --> 01:24:52,251
[Macrinus chuckles]
Welcome.

1044
01:24:53,782 --> 01:24:56,188
Yes, I'm listening.

1045
01:24:56,189 --> 01:24:58,850
You know
this is my house now.

1046
01:24:58,851 --> 01:25:01,259
Your debt to me is
over 10,000 denarii.

1047
01:25:01,260 --> 01:25:02,722
You know that.

1048
01:25:02,723 --> 01:25:05,428
[chuckles, stammers]
I have other things. Uh...

1049
01:25:05,429 --> 01:25:07,331
Cattle. Art!

1050
01:25:07,332 --> 01:25:09,025
Truth, then.

1051
01:25:09,026 --> 01:25:10,697
What do you... want?

1052
01:25:10,698 --> 01:25:13,436
Truth.
That's what I want.

1053
01:25:13,437 --> 01:25:17,936
Nothing happens in Rome
without your knowledge.

1054
01:25:19,071 --> 01:25:21,115
You have
the senators' trust.

1055
01:25:21,942 --> 01:25:24,216
You have
Lucilla's trust.

1056
01:25:24,217 --> 01:25:26,945
More importantly,
you have my trust.

1057
01:25:28,982 --> 01:25:33,016
You wish my... loyalty?

1058
01:25:33,017 --> 01:25:34,689
I own...

1059
01:25:36,121 --> 01:25:38,054
your house.

1060
01:25:38,055 --> 01:25:40,728
I want your loyalty.

1061
01:25:44,470 --> 01:25:45,898
I...

1062
01:25:47,099 --> 01:25:48,933
Tell me.
I have heard...

1063
01:25:48,934 --> 01:25:51,640
of a plot...

1064
01:25:52,511 --> 01:25:55,280
to dethrone the emperors.
Yes.

1065
01:25:55,281 --> 01:25:57,810
But the plan
has been delayed, uh...

1066
01:25:57,811 --> 01:26:01,077
A gladiator is to be rescued
from the arena.

1067
01:26:01,078 --> 01:26:02,584
Tonight.
Mm.

1068
01:26:02,585 --> 01:26:05,720
I don't know why.
I know why. I know who.

1069
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,196
Pack.

1070
01:26:12,828 --> 01:26:14,366
Quickly.

1071
01:26:42,220 --> 01:26:43,493
[pounding on gate]
[man] Open up!

1072
01:26:43,494 --> 01:26:45,628
[rats squeaking]

1073
01:26:58,643 --> 01:27:00,247
[mastiffs growling]

1074
01:27:03,516 --> 01:27:05,581
[man] Open for
the emperors' guard!

1075
01:27:05,582 --> 01:27:07,221
[pounding on door]

1076
01:27:29,872 --> 01:27:31,410
[heavy knocking]

1077
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,514
My Lady, come with us.

1078
01:27:47,285 --> 01:27:48,955
[all grunting with impact]

1079
01:28:21,825 --> 01:28:24,121
Thanks to the civic virtue

1080
01:28:24,122 --> 01:28:26,795
of men like Thraex
and Macrinus,

1081
01:28:28,095 --> 01:28:29,798
your insurrection

1082
01:28:30,504 --> 01:28:32,471
has been revealed.

1083
01:28:34,332 --> 01:28:35,672
The honor,

1084
01:28:36,774 --> 01:28:40,644
the dignitas that Rome
has bestowed upon you...

1085
01:28:43,110 --> 01:28:46,242
all this you have forfeited
by your treachery.

1086
01:28:46,243 --> 01:28:48,212
Please, Emperor Geta.

1087
01:28:48,918 --> 01:28:50,786
Torture me if you want,

1088
01:28:51,690 --> 01:28:53,117
but do not lecture me.

1089
01:28:53,118 --> 01:28:56,627
Your name
will be forgotten!

1090
01:28:57,696 --> 01:29:00,763
Lost... to history.

1091
01:29:02,701 --> 01:29:04,161
You are damned,
General.

1092
01:29:04,162 --> 01:29:05,966
[laughing]

1093
01:29:06,837 --> 01:29:08,804
[Geta]
You laugh.
You damn me?

1094
01:29:09,906 --> 01:29:11,674
I don't care.

1095
01:29:11,675 --> 01:29:15,304
Everything is forgotten in time.
Empires fall. So do emperors.

1096
01:29:15,305 --> 01:29:17,108
[Caracalla] Why wait?

1097
01:29:17,109 --> 01:29:20,419
I will gut him right now!
No, no, no!

1098
01:29:20,420 --> 01:29:23,785
Let them be. Come! Come!

1099
01:29:23,786 --> 01:29:25,688
His death must be public.

1100
01:29:25,689 --> 01:29:27,283
Public? [grunts]

1101
01:29:27,284 --> 01:29:30,253
Hang his entrails
from the city gates!

1102
01:29:30,254 --> 01:29:31,860
And crucify her!

1103
01:29:32,566 --> 01:29:34,125
Crucify her!

1104
01:29:34,126 --> 01:29:36,127
Take them away!

1105
01:29:36,128 --> 01:29:39,538
[Caracalla yells]
[Geta] Shh! Shh! Shh!

1106
01:29:52,685 --> 01:29:53,849
Thank you, Macrinus.

1107
01:30:00,187 --> 01:30:01,527
Come on.

1108
01:30:04,928 --> 01:30:06,861
In these last days,

1109
01:30:06,862 --> 01:30:10,194
I have come to think of you
not as a subject

1110
01:30:10,195 --> 01:30:12,504
but as a true friend.

1111
01:30:12,505 --> 01:30:14,231
Thank you.

1112
01:30:14,232 --> 01:30:17,003
Thank you so much.
But as a friend,

1113
01:30:17,004 --> 01:30:19,841
I must counsel caution.

1114
01:30:19,842 --> 01:30:22,878
Acacius is a hero of Rome.

1115
01:30:23,716 --> 01:30:27,244
Crucifixion
is for thieves.

1116
01:30:27,245 --> 01:30:28,422
Christians.

1117
01:30:29,557 --> 01:30:32,590
It's too common.
He is a traitor.
He must die.

1118
01:30:32,591 --> 01:30:34,053
I agree.

1119
01:30:34,054 --> 01:30:39,829
Let the gods decide
his fate in the Colosseum.

1120
01:30:46,233 --> 01:30:47,870
Let the gods decide.

1121
01:30:50,644 --> 01:30:54,679
You know, last night I woke,
dreaming of a dark river.

1122
01:30:56,243 --> 01:30:58,242
This time,
for the first time,

1123
01:30:58,243 --> 01:30:59,783
I was crossing it.

1124
01:31:00,588 --> 01:31:02,279
[Ravi] Hm.

1125
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,886
Well, you know,
where I come from,

1126
01:31:04,887 --> 01:31:07,955
crossing a river,
it represents forgiveness.

1127
01:31:07,956 --> 01:31:11,057
Represents... salvation.

1128
01:31:11,058 --> 01:31:14,225
Where I come from,
it means
you're already dead.

1129
01:31:14,226 --> 01:31:16,965
[chuckles]

1130
01:31:22,434 --> 01:31:24,973
But as I saw it,
I was not afraid.

1131
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:28,404
For...

1132
01:31:28,405 --> 01:31:31,309
For someone was waiting
for me on the other side.

1133
01:31:32,950 --> 01:31:34,686
There. [sniffs]

1134
01:31:44,962 --> 01:31:46,500
Who is this man?

1135
01:31:47,833 --> 01:31:49,294
Scratched out?

1136
01:31:50,198 --> 01:31:52,231
Maximus.

1137
01:31:55,005 --> 01:31:57,005
I saw him fight once.

1138
01:31:58,041 --> 01:31:59,677
He was magnificent.
Mm.

1139
01:31:59,678 --> 01:32:02,746
Yeah. My time in the arena,
it was after his,

1140
01:32:02,747 --> 01:32:07,113
but many still talked of him
in whispers, you know?

1141
01:32:07,114 --> 01:32:09,347
Spoke of him.

1142
01:32:10,152 --> 01:32:11,920
What he did.

1143
01:32:11,921 --> 01:32:13,857
I met him once.

1144
01:32:15,663 --> 01:32:17,190
He was kind.

1145
01:32:19,491 --> 01:32:21,359
He bowed to no one.

1146
01:32:24,837 --> 01:32:26,528
Come with me.

1147
01:32:26,529 --> 01:32:29,609
Hmm?
Come. With me.

1148
01:32:48,696 --> 01:32:52,961
When a rebel gladiator dies,
we bury them here.

1149
01:32:52,962 --> 01:32:57,395
"What we do in life
echoes in eternity."

1150
01:33:15,085 --> 01:33:17,018
This is Argento.

1151
01:33:17,019 --> 01:33:18,592
This is Scatto.

1152
01:33:25,733 --> 01:33:28,668
[cheering, applause]

1153
01:33:31,739 --> 01:33:34,300
[drums thudding]

1154
01:33:41,914 --> 01:33:44,948
[metal clanking]

1155
01:33:53,992 --> 01:33:56,025
[horns playing fanfare]

1156
01:33:58,964 --> 01:34:00,634
Cheers.

1157
01:34:01,296 --> 01:34:02,735
And stop.

1158
01:34:04,332 --> 01:34:08,465
For his treason
against the lives

1159
01:34:08,466 --> 01:34:12,634
of the emperors
and the Roman state,

1160
01:34:12,635 --> 01:34:16,078
General Justus Acacius,

1161
01:34:17,444 --> 01:34:20,477
an enemy of the people!

1162
01:34:20,478 --> 01:34:23,084
[all chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1163
01:34:23,085 --> 01:34:25,483
[man] We love you, Acacius!
You are a hero!

1164
01:34:26,794 --> 01:34:29,926
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1165
01:34:29,927 --> 01:34:33,194
[chanting continues]

1166
01:34:36,870 --> 01:34:39,167
[crowd roaring]

1167
01:34:53,150 --> 01:34:56,151
[crowd jeering loudly]

1168
01:35:01,257 --> 01:35:04,026
[Acacius] <i>Vae victis.</i>
[soldiers] General.

1169
01:35:04,027 --> 01:35:06,557
[all shouting, grunting]

1170
01:35:10,464 --> 01:35:11,869
[pained yell]

1171
01:35:11,870 --> 01:35:14,004
[grunts]

1172
01:35:22,047 --> 01:35:23,947
[crowd cheering]

1173
01:35:23,948 --> 01:35:25,982
[panting heavily]

1174
01:35:25,983 --> 01:35:27,952
[scattered shouts]
Acacius!

1175
01:35:29,186 --> 01:35:33,451
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1176
01:35:33,452 --> 01:35:36,961
[all continue chanting]

1177
01:35:39,361 --> 01:35:43,396
[announcer]
From the vanquished city
of Numidia,

1178
01:35:44,564 --> 01:35:49,874
the victor of two conquests
in the Colosseum...

1179
01:35:49,875 --> 01:35:52,438
Go now. <i>Vae victis.</i>

1180
01:35:56,741 --> 01:35:59,675
[crowd chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1181
01:35:59,676 --> 01:36:02,084
Hanno!
[crowd cheering]

1182
01:36:02,085 --> 01:36:04,988
Oh, Lord, any honor I have,

1183
01:36:04,989 --> 01:36:06,748
I will give it to you!
It's too late.

1184
01:36:06,749 --> 01:36:10,125
[announcer]
The Roman traitor or

1185
01:36:10,126 --> 01:36:12,458
the barbarian hero.

1186
01:36:13,230 --> 01:36:15,064
Let the gods decide.

1187
01:36:15,065 --> 01:36:16,803
Lucius... wait.

1188
01:36:18,268 --> 01:36:19,563
Wait! Wait!

1189
01:36:19,564 --> 01:36:21,841
[both grunting heavily]

1190
01:36:26,474 --> 01:36:29,441
[overlapping
cheers and jeers]

1191
01:36:29,442 --> 01:36:32,247
I am a vessel.

1192
01:36:33,580 --> 01:36:35,822
Fill me with vengeance

1193
01:36:36,781 --> 01:36:39,023
and vanquish the betrayer.

1194
01:36:41,962 --> 01:36:45,227
[attacking grunts]

1195
01:36:56,834 --> 01:36:59,142
We love you, Acacius!
Move it!

1196
01:37:03,247 --> 01:37:04,949
Pick it up!

1197
01:37:04,950 --> 01:37:07,413
[woman]
Bravo, Hanno!

1198
01:37:07,414 --> 01:37:08,953
[man]
We love you, Acacius!

1199
01:37:08,954 --> 01:37:10,020
[man 2]
What are you waiting for?

1200
01:37:10,021 --> 01:37:11,153
[man 3]
You will die!

1201
01:37:11,154 --> 01:37:14,190
[cheering and booing]

1202
01:37:18,493 --> 01:37:20,262
[crowd whooping]

1203
01:37:23,300 --> 01:37:24,970
[both grunting heavily]

1204
01:37:27,865 --> 01:37:30,338
[crowd groaning]

1205
01:37:38,612 --> 01:37:40,413
[pained grunting]

1206
01:37:40,414 --> 01:37:42,052
[panting]

1207
01:37:42,053 --> 01:37:43,384
[Acacius]
I know who you are.

1208
01:37:45,190 --> 01:37:47,223
Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1209
01:37:53,825 --> 01:37:56,166
[crowd groaning]

1210
01:37:58,071 --> 01:38:00,499
[crowd exclaiming]

1211
01:38:00,500 --> 01:38:02,535
Acacius
has raised his hand!

1212
01:38:03,538 --> 01:38:05,911
He has surrendered.

1213
01:38:05,912 --> 01:38:08,343
[all muttering]

1214
01:38:13,416 --> 01:38:15,416
Let the gods decide.

1215
01:38:23,723 --> 01:38:25,998
[monkey screeching]

1216
01:38:33,007 --> 01:38:35,865
The gods have rendered
their judgment.

1217
01:38:39,013 --> 01:38:40,474
Do what you must.

1218
01:38:41,576 --> 01:38:44,016
But on my death,
you have to know...

1219
01:38:45,844 --> 01:38:47,778
I love your mother,
Lucilla.

1220
01:38:49,254 --> 01:38:50,616
And your father...

1221
01:38:53,390 --> 01:38:54,422
Maximus.

1222
01:38:55,722 --> 01:38:57,919
I would have died
for him.

1223
01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,888
Kill him!

1224
01:38:59,889 --> 01:39:02,628
[man] Let him live!
Please!

1225
01:39:03,730 --> 01:39:06,797
[crowd chanting]
Live! Live! Live! Live!

1226
01:39:13,773 --> 01:39:15,476
Kill him!

1227
01:39:17,447 --> 01:39:18,445
[grunts]
[Geta] Kill him!

1228
01:39:18,446 --> 01:39:19,776
Archers!

1229
01:39:19,777 --> 01:39:21,712
No!
[Geta] Kill him!

1230
01:39:21,713 --> 01:39:24,352
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius!

1231
01:39:24,353 --> 01:39:26,123
[Caracalla] Kill him!

1232
01:39:26,124 --> 01:39:29,159
Kill him! Kill him!

1233
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:31,260
[crowd continues chanting]

1234
01:39:31,261 --> 01:39:32,625
[sobbing] Acacius!

1235
01:39:35,564 --> 01:39:36,859
[arrow whistling]

1236
01:39:36,860 --> 01:39:38,003
[crowd exclaiming]

1237
01:39:38,004 --> 01:39:40,105
[grunting]

1238
01:39:42,769 --> 01:39:43,768
[Lucilla] No!

1239
01:39:44,375 --> 01:39:45,934
No!

1240
01:39:45,935 --> 01:39:47,607
Acacius!

1241
01:39:50,150 --> 01:39:52,215
Damn you!

1242
01:39:52,216 --> 01:39:54,052
[breath heaving]

1243
01:39:54,053 --> 01:39:55,945
Death will be
too good for you!

1244
01:40:01,491 --> 01:40:04,657
Is this how Rome
treats its heroes?

1245
01:40:08,663 --> 01:40:10,168
Tell me!

1246
01:40:12,271 --> 01:40:16,866
If his life has no value,
what are yours worth?

1247
01:40:16,867 --> 01:40:22,003
The gods have spoken!

1248
01:40:22,004 --> 01:40:24,644
[crowd booing loudly]

1249
01:40:26,813 --> 01:40:29,484
[shouting, jeering]

1250
01:40:35,888 --> 01:40:39,560
[crowd chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1251
01:40:44,138 --> 01:40:46,699
[crowd booing]

1252
01:40:55,006 --> 01:40:58,051
For our own safety,
we should return to the palace.

1253
01:40:59,351 --> 01:41:03,320
[crowd booing loudly]

1254
01:41:06,391 --> 01:41:09,590
[crowd]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1255
01:41:16,995 --> 01:41:19,269
[all jeering]

1256
01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:21,701
[soldier]
Stay back! Stay back!

1257
01:41:48,466 --> 01:41:51,203
[booing and jeers, echoing]

1258
01:41:56,243 --> 01:41:58,243
[crowd noise fades]

1259
01:42:08,750 --> 01:42:09,880
[thunder rolling]

1260
01:42:09,881 --> 01:42:14,325
[Lucius, faintly] Arishat!

1261
01:42:17,022 --> 01:42:18,857
[door opens]

1262
01:42:31,872 --> 01:42:33,443
We had a bargain.

1263
01:42:37,075 --> 01:42:40,416
I gave him to you.
You let him live.

1264
01:42:40,417 --> 01:42:42,143
And you got
what you wanted.

1265
01:42:42,144 --> 01:42:44,849
I always get what I want.
Why did you let him live?

1266
01:42:44,850 --> 01:42:47,787
You bought a gladiator,
not a slave.

1267
01:42:49,494 --> 01:42:51,296
My will is my own.

1268
01:42:53,498 --> 01:42:54,958
Ah...

1269
01:42:54,959 --> 01:42:57,730
How blue is your blood?

1270
01:42:57,731 --> 01:43:00,403
Perhaps the heart of a Roman

1271
01:43:00,404 --> 01:43:02,670
beats in that chest.
[chuckles]

1272
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:11,282
The greatest temple
Rome ever built.

1273
01:43:11,283 --> 01:43:12,910
The Colosseum.

1274
01:43:12,911 --> 01:43:15,319
Because this is
what they believe in.

1275
01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:17,013
Power.

1276
01:43:17,014 --> 01:43:19,818
They gather here to watch
the strong strike down the weak.

1277
01:43:19,819 --> 01:43:21,721
There has to be
something else.
There is nothing else.

1278
01:43:21,722 --> 01:43:24,593
There has to be
another Rome.
There is no other Rome.

1279
01:43:26,124 --> 01:43:27,760
The "dream"?
Mm.

1280
01:43:27,761 --> 01:43:29,762
The dream of Rome?

1281
01:43:29,763 --> 01:43:31,336
It's an old man's fantasy.

1282
01:43:33,098 --> 01:43:34,504
Who are you?

1283
01:43:37,542 --> 01:43:40,576
What was your name
before you traded it
for a Roman one?

1284
01:43:41,612 --> 01:43:43,073
You'll never know.

1285
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:47,517
I have a destiny.

1286
01:43:50,984 --> 01:43:53,358
The gods delivered you to me.

1287
01:43:56,363 --> 01:43:58,120
You will be my instrument.

1288
01:43:58,121 --> 01:44:01,465
I will never be
your instrument,
in this life or the next.

1289
01:44:09,739 --> 01:44:12,938
[door opening]
That will not be my destiny.

1290
01:44:14,942 --> 01:44:16,677
But I will see your end.

1291
01:44:16,678 --> 01:44:19,252
[people shouting,
yelling in distance]

1292
01:44:35,435 --> 01:44:37,599
[monkey chittering]

1293
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:39,568
What else could I do?

1294
01:44:39,569 --> 01:44:41,438
He and his bitch
were plotting to kill us.

1295
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,199
Don't you hear them?
They're calling for our heads!

1296
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,311
The Praetorians
will put down this crowd.

1297
01:44:46,312 --> 01:44:48,137
Like they have every other.
You brought this on us.

1298
01:44:48,138 --> 01:44:50,646
Filthy ape!
[monkey squeaking in fear]

1299
01:44:54,278 --> 01:44:57,080
[Macrinus]
Perhaps you should, uh,

1300
01:44:57,081 --> 01:45:01,492
take Dondus elsewhere
to comfort him?

1301
01:45:11,064 --> 01:45:13,339
Forgive
my brother's outburst.

1302
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:16,803
The disease
that infects his loins

1303
01:45:16,804 --> 01:45:18,838
has spread to his brain.

1304
01:45:18,839 --> 01:45:21,941
Every day he gets worse.
I will reason with him.

1305
01:45:23,582 --> 01:45:25,483
[all yelling, shouting]

1306
01:45:31,051 --> 01:45:33,524
[Dondus hooting]

1307
01:45:38,289 --> 01:45:41,465
[singsong] I see you.

1308
01:45:41,466 --> 01:45:43,534
I see you.

1309
01:45:44,900 --> 01:45:47,163
Caracalla, Caracalla!

1310
01:45:47,164 --> 01:45:48,868
Come on, stand up.

1311
01:45:48,869 --> 01:45:51,068
Get up, get up.
Not you.

1312
01:45:51,069 --> 01:45:52,873
All right,
there you go.

1313
01:45:54,613 --> 01:45:56,975
Now, listen to me.

1314
01:45:56,976 --> 01:45:58,647
What's the matter?

1315
01:45:58,648 --> 01:46:01,419
[panting]
Nothing's ever mine.

1316
01:46:01,420 --> 01:46:03,817
Everything is ours, always.

1317
01:46:03,818 --> 01:46:07,052
Even in the womb...
[stammering] he tried...

1318
01:46:07,890 --> 01:46:11,286
to cut my umbilicus

1319
01:46:11,287 --> 01:46:13,189
so that I couldn't have
any more air.

1320
01:46:13,190 --> 01:46:15,565
You remember that,
do you?
Certainly.

1321
01:46:15,566 --> 01:46:17,996
Come, sit.
One cannot forget.

1322
01:46:17,997 --> 01:46:20,328
My conscience compels me.

1323
01:46:20,329 --> 01:46:21,868
What?

1324
01:46:21,869 --> 01:46:23,166
Sit.

1325
01:46:23,167 --> 01:46:24,575
Your brother

1326
01:46:25,446 --> 01:46:26,973
means to blame you

1327
01:46:27,976 --> 01:46:30,415
in front of
the entire Senate...

1328
01:46:30,416 --> 01:46:31,878
But I did not do it!

1329
01:46:31,879 --> 01:46:33,550
...for what's happening
in the streets.

1330
01:46:33,551 --> 01:46:36,014
The chaos!
He's lying!

1331
01:46:36,015 --> 01:46:37,917
No testimony
can be more damning

1332
01:46:37,918 --> 01:46:41,492
than one brother
against another.

1333
01:46:41,493 --> 01:46:44,220
That's a lie!
He always lies!

1334
01:46:44,221 --> 01:46:46,794
He can be very persuasive.

1335
01:46:46,795 --> 01:46:49,566
So?
What will they do to me?

1336
01:46:49,567 --> 01:46:52,437
Oh, I don't dare imagine.
But imagine this:

1337
01:46:52,438 --> 01:46:54,539
What will they do to Dondus?

1338
01:46:57,676 --> 01:47:00,544
What will they do

1339
01:47:00,545 --> 01:47:02,007
to Dondus?

1340
01:47:02,008 --> 01:47:04,306
[Dondus
chittering softly]

1341
01:47:04,307 --> 01:47:05,616
It's your decision.

1342
01:47:15,122 --> 01:47:17,661
[people shouting angrily]

1343
01:47:30,236 --> 01:47:33,941
[angry shouts continue]

1344
01:47:43,447 --> 01:47:44,314
Brother.

1345
01:47:47,957 --> 01:47:49,791
Put down the blade.

1346
01:47:49,792 --> 01:47:50,990
You lie.

1347
01:47:50,991 --> 01:47:52,893
Give it to me.
You always lie!

1348
01:47:52,894 --> 01:47:53,927
Give it-- [grunts]

1349
01:47:53,928 --> 01:47:55,600
[chuckles]

1350
01:47:56,570 --> 01:47:57,766
[Geta exclaiming]

1351
01:47:57,767 --> 01:48:00,098
Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.

1352
01:48:00,099 --> 01:48:02,606
Lie!
Listen to me.
Break the spell.

1353
01:48:02,607 --> 01:48:04,707
Lie!
Break the spell!

1354
01:48:04,708 --> 01:48:07,909
I've always protected you.
Because I love you.

1355
01:48:08,549 --> 01:48:10,615
Come back. Help me.

1356
01:48:20,121 --> 01:48:21,692
[blade plunges]

1357
01:48:22,761 --> 01:48:24,287
[faint, indistinct chatter]

1358
01:48:24,288 --> 01:48:26,059
[keys jingling]

1359
01:48:33,233 --> 01:48:34,639
Lucius.

1360
01:48:41,175 --> 01:48:43,373
[hinges creaking]

1361
01:48:56,355 --> 01:48:59,025
Never could have imagined
the fates would lead us here.

1362
01:48:59,026 --> 01:49:01,060
[Lucius chuckles dryly]

1363
01:49:01,061 --> 01:49:02,898
And yet here we are.

1364
01:49:04,561 --> 01:49:06,362
Everything has
brought us full circle.

1365
01:49:06,363 --> 01:49:09,530
You sent me away
and yet fate

1366
01:49:09,531 --> 01:49:12,072
brought me back
to the very ground
where he died.

1367
01:49:15,077 --> 01:49:16,076
[Lucilla] This ring...

1368
01:49:17,981 --> 01:49:19,684
belonged to my father.

1369
01:49:23,723 --> 01:49:26,855
He gave it
to your father,
Maximus,

1370
01:49:26,856 --> 01:49:28,759
as a token of trust.

1371
01:49:30,158 --> 01:49:33,126
I gave it to Acacius
for his valor.

1372
01:49:37,638 --> 01:49:39,869
This ring belonged to my wife.

1373
01:49:42,841 --> 01:49:44,302
I shall wear it next to yours.

1374
01:49:58,582 --> 01:50:01,055
I am truly sorry for Acacius.

1375
01:50:02,322 --> 01:50:05,190
I could not see the man.

1376
01:50:05,191 --> 01:50:06,555
[sniffles]

1377
01:50:07,327 --> 01:50:09,228
He was a soldier of Rome.

1378
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:12,561
There was a plan.

1379
01:50:13,872 --> 01:50:15,266
He was readying troops
at Ostia

1380
01:50:15,267 --> 01:50:18,401
under the command
of Darius Sextus.

1381
01:50:18,402 --> 01:50:21,471
Troops he was to lead
against the emperors.

1382
01:50:23,508 --> 01:50:27,917
Acacius. Maximus.
Marcus Aurelius.

1383
01:50:29,052 --> 01:50:31,415
They lived and died
for Rome.

1384
01:50:32,121 --> 01:50:33,582
We all do.

1385
01:50:35,619 --> 01:50:37,993
Is it true
they intend to kill you?

1386
01:50:39,161 --> 01:50:40,929
[chuckles lightly]

1387
01:50:40,930 --> 01:50:43,063
One man or another
has had a sword
against my neck

1388
01:50:43,064 --> 01:50:45,429
since the day
my father died.

1389
01:50:48,632 --> 01:50:50,643
But now
that I've found you,

1390
01:50:51,470 --> 01:50:53,272
it doesn't matter.

1391
01:50:54,638 --> 01:50:56,439
I am not afraid.

1392
01:50:56,440 --> 01:50:59,542
I've become well versed
in losing the things
that I love.

1393
01:51:02,415 --> 01:51:03,721
But now that I've found you,

1394
01:51:03,722 --> 01:51:05,580
I have no desire
to lose you again.

1395
01:51:05,581 --> 01:51:07,858
[exhales shakily]

1396
01:51:08,619 --> 01:51:10,828
You stand like him.
Mm.

1397
01:51:11,589 --> 01:51:12,962
Alert.

1398
01:51:13,833 --> 01:51:14,964
Proud.

1399
01:51:17,166 --> 01:51:19,738
I do not have his strength.

1400
01:51:20,664 --> 01:51:22,807
I wish that were true.

1401
01:51:24,173 --> 01:51:27,371
I wish I were telling you
to flee this place.

1402
01:51:27,372 --> 01:51:28,978
[keys jingling]

1403
01:51:32,478 --> 01:51:34,720
[door unlocks]

1404
01:51:36,119 --> 01:51:37,217
Go now.

1405
01:51:42,125 --> 01:51:44,059
[Lucilla sighs]

1406
01:51:45,524 --> 01:51:46,699
Strength and honor.

1407
01:51:49,198 --> 01:51:50,868
Strength and honor.

1408
01:52:01,573 --> 01:52:03,473
[thunder rumbling faintly]

1409
01:52:03,474 --> 01:52:05,673
[Caracalla] As Emperor,

1410
01:52:05,674 --> 01:52:07,346
I have convened

1411
01:52:08,283 --> 01:52:11,580
the Senate to appoint
my First Consul

1412
01:52:11,581 --> 01:52:15,023
and bestow upon him the power
to administer the military

1413
01:52:15,024 --> 01:52:18,291
and civic functions
of the Empire.

1414
01:52:22,165 --> 01:52:23,527
I name...

1415
01:52:24,629 --> 01:52:27,167
Citizen Dondus!

1416
01:52:27,168 --> 01:52:29,037
[Senate murmuring]

1417
01:52:29,038 --> 01:52:31,535
[Dondus chittering]

1418
01:52:34,078 --> 01:52:35,748
[Caracalla]
Hail Dondus!

1419
01:52:39,182 --> 01:52:40,676
Hail Dondus!

1420
01:52:42,647 --> 01:52:45,416
[clearing throat]
Hail Dondus.
Hail Dondus!

1421
01:52:45,417 --> 01:52:47,958
[all] Hail Dondus!

1422
01:52:52,195 --> 01:52:54,063
As Second Consul...

1423
01:52:55,968 --> 01:52:57,462
I name...

1424
01:52:59,873 --> 01:53:01,136
Citizen...

1425
01:53:03,437 --> 01:53:04,876
Macrinus!

1426
01:53:07,243 --> 01:53:10,573
Hail Macrinus!

1427
01:53:10,574 --> 01:53:12,543
[all] Hail Macrinus!

1428
01:53:14,382 --> 01:53:17,019
There will be
a triumphal parade
to celebrate.

1429
01:53:17,020 --> 01:53:18,582
There will be games

1430
01:53:19,321 --> 01:53:21,386
and mass executions.

1431
01:53:21,387 --> 01:53:23,829
[chittering]

1432
01:53:24,458 --> 01:53:27,162
Long live the Empire!

1433
01:53:28,726 --> 01:53:30,560
[Macrinus]
Long live the Empire!

1434
01:53:30,561 --> 01:53:32,266
[all] Long live the Empire!

1435
01:53:35,139 --> 01:53:36,908
[applause subsides]

1436
01:53:38,637 --> 01:53:39,845
Sit down.

1437
01:53:43,246 --> 01:53:45,950
I happen to have...

1438
01:53:49,483 --> 01:53:53,188
with good fortune
and not a little skill...

1439
01:53:54,928 --> 01:53:58,094
the remaining emperor's ear.

1440
01:54:00,197 --> 01:54:02,934
[all gasping, murmuring]

1441
01:54:05,268 --> 01:54:07,532
I can speak logic to it...

1442
01:54:12,308 --> 01:54:14,803
and tame the madness
in the street. But...

1443
01:54:17,775 --> 01:54:19,379
to restore order...

1444
01:54:21,449 --> 01:54:23,317
I must have power...

1445
01:54:27,026 --> 01:54:29,059
and command

1446
01:54:29,754 --> 01:54:31,721
over the Praetorian Army.

1447
01:54:37,630 --> 01:54:39,366
Ballot...

1448
01:54:41,535 --> 01:54:42,908
or hand?

1449
01:54:45,044 --> 01:54:47,572
Aye!
[all] Aye!

1450
01:54:50,874 --> 01:54:52,511
Your humble servant.

1451
01:54:56,616 --> 01:54:58,187
Put your hands down.

1452
01:55:00,851 --> 01:55:02,356
You can sit down.

1453
01:55:15,899 --> 01:55:17,536
[Macrinus] <i>Rome must fall.</i>

1454
01:55:20,244 --> 01:55:22,277
I need only
give it a push.

1455
01:55:25,348 --> 01:55:27,546
[Lucilla]
And after Rome falls...

1456
01:55:28,450 --> 01:55:30,879
[dry chuckle]
...what then?

1457
01:55:33,026 --> 01:55:35,059
You are
your father's child.

1458
01:55:37,030 --> 01:55:40,558
His dream of Rome
was never a dream.

1459
01:55:40,559 --> 01:55:42,692
It was a fiction.

1460
01:55:42,693 --> 01:55:45,068
"The best revenge is

1461
01:55:45,069 --> 01:55:49,039
to become unlike the one
who did the injury."

1462
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:54,110
I have made myself
unlike your father.

1463
01:55:54,111 --> 01:55:57,740
He spoke of dreams,
I speak of truth.

1464
01:55:57,741 --> 01:56:00,249
And the only truth
in my Rome

1465
01:56:01,780 --> 01:56:03,813
is the law
of the strongest.

1466
01:56:06,125 --> 01:56:07,487
I was owned

1467
01:56:08,952 --> 01:56:10,490
by an emperor.

1468
01:56:13,462 --> 01:56:15,594
Now I control an empire.

1469
01:56:16,630 --> 01:56:19,928
Where else but in Rome
can a man do that?

1470
01:56:25,177 --> 01:56:29,740
Do you recognize
your father's mark on me?

1471
01:56:34,516 --> 01:56:35,845
If there is anything

1472
01:56:36,551 --> 01:56:37,946
you need...

1473
01:56:39,653 --> 01:56:41,356
in these last hours,

1474
01:56:42,326 --> 01:56:44,029
we will provide.

1475
01:56:49,696 --> 01:56:52,466
Your death will clear my path
to the throne.

1476
01:56:54,338 --> 01:56:57,371
Tomorrow
there will be games.

1477
01:56:57,372 --> 01:56:59,044
And at them...

1478
01:56:59,904 --> 01:57:01,640
I will prevail.

1479
01:57:07,252 --> 01:57:08,976
[door clangs shut]

1480
01:57:08,977 --> 01:57:10,715
[keys jingling]

1481
01:57:15,260 --> 01:57:16,754
Ravi!

1482
01:57:23,334 --> 01:57:25,663
Can you get me a message
to Ostia by morning?

1483
01:57:25,664 --> 01:57:27,500
What is in Ostia?

1484
01:57:27,501 --> 01:57:28,997
There is an army.

1485
01:57:31,210 --> 01:57:32,967
I'm asking you
to risk yourself, my friend,

1486
01:57:32,968 --> 01:57:35,179
in the service
of something greater.

1487
01:57:38,041 --> 01:57:39,480
Ride to Ostia.

1488
01:57:40,714 --> 01:57:42,878
Take this ring
to General Darius Sextus.

1489
01:57:42,879 --> 01:57:44,353
Are you listening?

1490
01:57:44,949 --> 01:57:47,685
Darius Sextus.

1491
01:57:47,686 --> 01:57:49,754
He will know it
as Acacius's ring.

1492
01:57:52,693 --> 01:57:54,858
[clears throat] And, uh,

1493
01:57:55,729 --> 01:57:57,102
who shall I say has

1494
01:57:57,764 --> 01:57:59,467
sent me with this ring?

1495
01:58:02,835 --> 01:58:05,209
I am Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1496
01:58:06,410 --> 01:58:07,937
The Prince of Rome.

1497
01:58:09,182 --> 01:58:10,708
Tell him
I am summoning the army

1498
01:58:10,709 --> 01:58:13,041
to the defense
of a new Republic.

1499
01:58:16,222 --> 01:58:17,683
[inhales]

1500
01:58:21,689 --> 01:58:22,984
Should I trust you?
Yes.

1501
01:58:22,985 --> 01:58:25,097
Should I?
Yes.

1502
01:58:31,963 --> 01:58:34,700
Ravi! I need your keys.

1503
01:58:40,774 --> 01:58:42,477
Thank you.

1504
01:59:20,319 --> 01:59:22,781
Stop! Come back!

1505
01:59:35,235 --> 01:59:37,334
[panting]

1506
01:59:44,475 --> 01:59:45,672
[inhales sharply]

1507
01:59:53,517 --> 01:59:54,681
Who gave you this?

1508
01:59:55,651 --> 01:59:57,816
Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1509
01:59:59,017 --> 02:00:00,291
The Prince of Rome.

1510
02:00:21,710 --> 02:00:23,743
[horses snort, whinnying]

1511
02:00:28,783 --> 02:00:31,223
[crowd cheering
in distance]

1512
02:00:53,412 --> 02:00:56,512
[whispering]
Must we kill Lucilla?

1513
02:00:58,076 --> 02:01:01,880
[quietly] Until she dies,
you will never know peace.

1514
02:01:03,752 --> 02:01:04,784
Ever.

1515
02:01:07,855 --> 02:01:09,954
[horns playing fanfare]

1516
02:01:15,632 --> 02:01:18,302
The people love her.
Her death will incite the mob.

1517
02:01:18,303 --> 02:01:20,964
If she dies and the streets
rise up in anger,

1518
02:01:20,965 --> 02:01:22,570
I shall deliver them
Caracalla's head

1519
02:01:22,571 --> 02:01:24,066
and the people
shall acclaim me.

1520
02:01:24,067 --> 02:01:27,741
That, my friend,
is politics.

1521
02:01:30,515 --> 02:01:32,416
Shall we?
Yes.

1522
02:01:47,631 --> 02:01:49,763
Today will be
your last fight, champion.

1523
02:01:50,832 --> 02:01:52,502
And our master
has bestowed on you...

1524
02:01:54,836 --> 02:01:57,265
the wooden sword of freedom.

1525
02:02:01,205 --> 02:02:03,303
But you have to
earn it first.

1526
02:02:03,304 --> 02:02:05,746
Today, you're gonna
defend your mother.

1527
02:02:12,392 --> 02:02:14,655
[soldier shouting]
[grunting]

1528
02:02:14,656 --> 02:02:16,955
[all yelling]

1529
02:02:25,405 --> 02:02:28,603
[grunting explosively]

1530
02:02:28,604 --> 02:02:31,508
Wood or steel,
a point is still a point!

1531
02:02:33,974 --> 02:02:35,710
[arrows whistling]

1532
02:02:58,735 --> 02:03:00,295
[Lucius] Wait for me.

1533
02:03:19,085 --> 02:03:20,886
In honor

1534
02:03:20,887 --> 02:03:25,319
of the acclamation
of Emperor Caracalla,

1535
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:31,358
First Consul Dondus
and Second Consul Macrinus,

1536
02:03:31,359 --> 02:03:36,000
and as punishment
for her conspiracy
against the empire,

1537
02:03:36,001 --> 02:03:40,576
for her calumnies against
the emperor's imperial bloodline

1538
02:03:40,577 --> 02:03:42,908
and for fomenting
military mutiny

1539
02:03:42,909 --> 02:03:44,514
along with her husband,

1540
02:03:44,515 --> 02:03:48,243
the queen will face
divine justice

1541
02:03:48,244 --> 02:03:52,424
at the hands
of the Praetorian Guard.

1542
02:03:56,628 --> 02:03:59,090
[crowd cheering faintly]

1543
02:04:16,879 --> 02:04:18,406
I am not a general.

1544
02:04:20,080 --> 02:04:23,620
But we are all soldiers.

1545
02:04:25,591 --> 02:04:27,414
And up until now,

1546
02:04:27,415 --> 02:04:31,792
we have fought for nothing more
than another day's survival.

1547
02:04:31,793 --> 02:04:33,696
What will you
have us do?

1548
02:04:34,996 --> 02:04:36,291
Well, you can return
to your cells

1549
02:04:36,292 --> 02:04:38,425
if you do not wish
to fight this battle.

1550
02:04:38,426 --> 02:04:40,802
[all laughing]
Or...

1551
02:04:42,498 --> 02:04:43,904
you can join me.

1552
02:04:45,138 --> 02:04:47,610
And fight for a freedom
far beyond these walls.

1553
02:04:47,611 --> 02:04:49,271
[all] Aye!

1554
02:04:49,272 --> 02:04:53,518
There once was a time when
honor meant something in Rome.

1555
02:04:55,181 --> 02:04:56,719
In this Rome

1556
02:04:57,623 --> 02:04:59,820
I no longer believe
that exists.

1557
02:04:59,821 --> 02:05:01,921
We must find it!

1558
02:05:01,922 --> 02:05:04,088
[all murmuring in agreement]

1559
02:05:04,089 --> 02:05:05,827
[Lucius] And know this:

1560
02:05:07,127 --> 02:05:10,931
Where death is, we are not.

1561
02:05:12,869 --> 02:05:14,836
Where we are,

1562
02:05:15,531 --> 02:05:17,300
death is not!

1563
02:05:20,305 --> 02:05:21,612
By my sword.

1564
02:05:23,473 --> 02:05:25,274
Strength and honor.

1565
02:05:25,275 --> 02:05:27,309
[all] Strength and honor!

1566
02:05:27,310 --> 02:05:30,984
Strength and honor!

1567
02:05:40,523 --> 02:05:43,193
[indistinct shouting]

1568
02:05:43,194 --> 02:05:45,130
[growling]

1569
02:05:50,368 --> 02:05:52,544
[snarling]

1570
02:05:55,681 --> 02:05:57,845
Let it not be said

1571
02:05:57,846 --> 02:06:01,046
that the emperor
is not merciful.

1572
02:06:01,047 --> 02:06:06,656
The queen will be granted
a single gladiator

1573
02:06:06,657 --> 02:06:10,517
to defend her against
the Praetorian Guard.

1574
02:06:10,518 --> 02:06:12,762
[crowd jeering]

1575
02:06:20,431 --> 02:06:24,498
The champion, Hanno!

1576
02:06:24,499 --> 02:06:26,578
[crowd roars]

1577
02:06:28,274 --> 02:06:31,847
[people chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1578
02:06:51,198 --> 02:06:53,363
[all booing]

1579
02:07:24,902 --> 02:07:26,803
[all shouting]

1580
02:07:35,473 --> 02:07:37,406
[grunting]

1581
02:07:37,407 --> 02:07:39,178
Yes!

1582
02:07:43,349 --> 02:07:45,250
Summon the cavalry.
Put this down at once.

1583
02:07:46,726 --> 02:07:49,155
This is war! Real war!

1584
02:07:54,063 --> 02:07:57,493
The army of Acacius
is advancing
just outside of Rome, sir.

1585
02:08:00,135 --> 02:08:01,628
We can still
outflank them.

1586
02:08:01,629 --> 02:08:04,038
They have only
5,000 troops, no more.

1587
02:08:05,371 --> 02:08:06,941
How many are we?

1588
02:08:06,942 --> 02:08:08,371
Six thousand.
Perhaps more.

1589
02:08:08,372 --> 02:08:10,142
Ride to the gate
and hold them.

1590
02:08:10,143 --> 02:08:12,145
[aggressive grunting]

1591
02:08:20,155 --> 02:08:21,616
[cheering]

1592
02:08:35,533 --> 02:08:36,971
[screams]

1593
02:08:36,972 --> 02:08:39,139
[yelps, whimpering]

1594
02:08:45,081 --> 02:08:46,178
[screams]

1595
02:08:46,179 --> 02:08:48,753
[all shouting angrily]

1596
02:08:52,649 --> 02:08:53,989
[screams]

1597
02:08:56,257 --> 02:08:58,059
[arrow whistles]
[grunts]

1598
02:09:01,867 --> 02:09:02,932
Filthy scum!

1599
02:09:16,772 --> 02:09:18,343
[Lucilla] Lucius!

1600
02:09:20,083 --> 02:09:21,148
Give me the bow.

1601
02:09:24,549 --> 02:09:26,153
[bow creaking]

1602
02:09:30,753 --> 02:09:32,896
[both gasp]

1603
02:09:44,943 --> 02:09:47,536
Go, my son. Lucius--

1604
02:09:47,537 --> 02:09:48,735
Shh-sh-sh-sh...

1605
02:09:48,736 --> 02:09:50,275
Horse!

1606
02:09:50,276 --> 02:09:52,476
[people shouting, clamoring]

1607
02:09:57,549 --> 02:09:59,582
[yelling furiously]

1608
02:10:12,168 --> 02:10:14,102
[indistinct shouts]

1609
02:10:15,171 --> 02:10:17,137
[feet marching]

1610
02:10:17,138 --> 02:10:19,668
[man shouting cadence]

1611
02:11:22,975 --> 02:11:25,139
Will nothing
kill this barbarian?

1612
02:11:25,140 --> 02:11:27,735
My name is
Lucius Verus Aurelius!

1613
02:11:27,736 --> 02:11:30,210
[Macrinus]
A man does not become
emperor by bloodline alone.

1614
02:11:30,211 --> 02:11:33,048
It must be taken by force
and kept by force.

1615
02:11:33,049 --> 02:11:34,984
Are you such a man
as this?

1616
02:11:34,985 --> 02:11:36,513
[Lucius]
I don't fight for power.

1617
02:11:36,514 --> 02:11:39,351
I fight to free Rome
from men like you

1618
02:11:39,352 --> 02:11:40,957
and to return it to them.

1619
02:11:40,958 --> 02:11:43,850
The gods themselves
want Rome reborn.

1620
02:11:43,851 --> 02:11:46,886
They sent me...
to fulfill that task.

1621
02:11:46,887 --> 02:11:50,560
And what if your gods
sent me here to kill you?

1622
02:11:50,561 --> 02:11:51,628
Huh?

1623
02:11:52,763 --> 02:11:55,103
It's time to end this, Macrinus!

1624
02:11:55,104 --> 02:11:57,106
[aggressive yell]

1625
02:12:03,081 --> 02:12:05,147
[horses bellowing]

1626
02:12:15,489 --> 02:12:18,160
[both grunting]

1627
02:12:19,757 --> 02:12:21,261
[swords clashing]

1628
02:12:21,262 --> 02:12:22,934
[both yelling]

1629
02:12:31,076 --> 02:12:33,307
Hah!
[screams]

1630
02:12:34,343 --> 02:12:35,276
[grunts]

1631
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:53,096
[blade clanging
against breastplate]

1632
02:12:59,995 --> 02:13:03,138
[metallic clangs echoing]

1633
02:13:03,139 --> 02:13:04,668
[Lucilla]
Strength and honor,

1634
02:13:05,275 --> 02:13:06,802
my son.

1635
02:13:09,147 --> 02:13:10,245
[grunts]

1636
02:13:23,722 --> 02:13:24,952
[yelling]

1637
02:13:26,824 --> 02:13:27,955
[groans in pain]

1638
02:13:55,358 --> 02:13:56,785
[panting]

1639
02:13:56,786 --> 02:13:58,656
[pained groan]

1640
02:14:40,172 --> 02:14:41,897
You look to me to speak.

1641
02:14:44,066 --> 02:14:45,834
I know not what
to say other than

1642
02:14:45,835 --> 02:14:47,903
we have all known
too much death.

1643
02:14:49,104 --> 02:14:52,677
Let no more blood be spilt
in the name of tyranny.

1644
02:14:56,584 --> 02:14:59,188
My grandfather,
Marcus Aurelius,

1645
02:14:59,189 --> 02:15:02,093
talked of a dream
that would be Rome.

1646
02:15:03,085 --> 02:15:04,986
A dream that my father,

1647
02:15:06,231 --> 02:15:09,088
Maximus Decimus Meridius,

1648
02:15:09,089 --> 02:15:10,695
died for.

1649
02:15:11,896 --> 02:15:13,533
An ideal.

1650
02:15:16,241 --> 02:15:20,671
A city for the many
and a refuge
for those in need.

1651
02:15:20,672 --> 02:15:23,180
A home worth fighting for.

1652
02:15:24,282 --> 02:15:28,614
A home that Maximus
spent his life defending.

1653
02:15:30,651 --> 02:15:32,519
That dream is lost.

1654
02:15:38,461 --> 02:15:40,131
But dare we...

1655
02:15:41,629 --> 02:15:44,300
rebuild that dream
together?

1656
02:15:56,171 --> 02:15:57,973
What say you?

1657
02:16:04,322 --> 02:16:06,190
Aye!

1658
02:16:07,325 --> 02:16:08,654
Aye!

1659
02:16:09,360 --> 02:16:10,655
Aye!

1660
02:16:10,656 --> 02:16:15,089
[all] Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!

1661
02:16:17,368 --> 02:16:20,798
[all chanting]

1662
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:20,990
Mother.

1663
02:18:13,550 --> 02:18:15,748
Speak to me, Father.
