3
00:01:41,753 --> 00:01:42,885
...salute you.
4
00:03:57,889 --> 00:03:59,891
Be gentle, Hanno.
5
00:05:23,671 --> 00:05:26,326
We invoke you
by your great names
6
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,153
to come to our aid.
7
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,938
Defeat the Romans.
8
00:05:30,112 --> 00:05:31,592
Destroy their ships,
9
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:33,289
their engines of war,
10
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:35,247
and their soldiers.
11
00:05:35,422 --> 00:05:38,338
We will prevail.
12
00:05:43,386 --> 00:05:45,170
Ozalsces.
13
00:05:47,782 --> 00:05:49,305
Arishat.
14
00:06:03,711 --> 00:06:04,973
Hanno.
15
00:06:08,411 --> 00:06:11,327
You did not make
an offering today.
16
00:06:11,501 --> 00:06:13,808
I prefer to sacrifice a Roman.
17
00:06:29,693 --> 00:06:31,042
Where you are,
18
00:06:32,174 --> 00:06:33,175
I am, too.
19
00:06:37,179 --> 00:06:38,746
And where you are,
20
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,749
I am, too, forever.
21
00:06:41,923 --> 00:06:43,359
My wife.
22
00:07:19,090 --> 00:07:21,658
The wind is too strong.
Furl sail and strike water.
23
00:07:21,832 --> 00:07:24,095
Furl sail,
strike water!
24
00:07:24,269 --> 00:07:26,184
Furl sail
and strike water!
25
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:36,543
Strike water!
26
00:08:03,961 --> 00:08:06,834
They have no lands
but the ones they've stolen.
27
00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:09,619
Wherever they go,
they leave destruction
28
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:11,403
and call it peace.
29
00:08:13,362 --> 00:08:16,060
This is the last free city
in Africa Nova.
30
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,282
Today, we go into battle.
31
00:08:21,718 --> 00:08:26,157
Pray that your god
is with you.
If he is not, he is no god.
32
00:08:29,421 --> 00:08:31,511
We've nothing to fear.
33
00:08:31,685 --> 00:08:33,513
Where death is, we are not.
34
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:35,950
Where we are,
35
00:08:37,604 --> 00:08:38,779
death is not.
36
00:08:41,477 --> 00:08:43,000
Stay together and listen
for my commands.
37
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:49,441
Your eyes up
and your head out.
38
00:09:24,781 --> 00:09:26,870
Fire!
39
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:35,052
[man] Ready your weapons!
40
00:09:35,226 --> 00:09:36,358
Again!
41
00:09:42,451 --> 00:09:44,279
We're ablaze on the right!
42
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,369
Keep formation!
43
00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:52,679
Pull!
44
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,643
Archers ready.
45
00:10:00,817 --> 00:10:02,340
Release!
46
00:10:09,521 --> 00:10:10,566
Nock!
47
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:12,960
Draw!
48
00:10:13,134 --> 00:10:14,352
Loose!
49
00:10:21,446 --> 00:10:22,578
Archers!
50
00:10:30,717 --> 00:10:32,327
Fire!
51
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:46,820
- Raise the tower!
- Raise the tower!
52
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,186
- Back astern!
- Back astern!
53
00:11:12,367 --> 00:11:14,195
Keep cranking.
54
00:11:24,248 --> 00:11:25,902
Drop drawbridge!
55
00:11:26,076 --> 00:11:27,556
The drawbridge is stuck!
56
00:11:37,261 --> 00:11:38,654
Sir!
57
00:11:41,178 --> 00:11:42,310
Loose!
58
00:11:54,104 --> 00:11:55,671
Back.
59
00:12:58,429 --> 00:12:59,822
Archers!
60
00:12:59,996 --> 00:13:01,041
There!
61
00:13:01,215 --> 00:13:02,477
Kill her!
62
00:13:03,347 --> 00:13:04,653
Arishat!
63
00:14:14,723 --> 00:14:16,681
Arishat.
64
00:14:28,041 --> 00:14:32,132
Arishat!
65
00:14:39,356 --> 00:14:41,228
I'll wait for you.
66
00:15:24,314 --> 00:15:26,055
Check all the bodies!
67
00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:28,014
Leave nothing!
68
00:17:16,948 --> 00:17:18,602
I claim this city...
69
00:17:21,431 --> 00:17:23,303
for the glory of Rome.
70
00:17:25,218 --> 00:17:26,915
Vae victis.
71
00:17:29,831 --> 00:17:31,398
Woe to the conquered.
72
00:17:50,547 --> 00:17:51,548
Next!
73
00:17:54,377 --> 00:17:55,378
Move it!
74
00:18:11,177 --> 00:18:14,310
- Down the stairs!
- Downstairs!
75
00:19:01,531 --> 00:19:04,491
Hey.
76
00:19:04,665 --> 00:19:06,754
What damage have they
done you, eh?
77
00:19:19,636 --> 00:19:21,551
Lift it up. Easy, easy.
78
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:23,945
Hold that.
79
00:19:29,907 --> 00:19:31,213
Arishat?
80
00:19:34,608 --> 00:19:35,957
I am sorry, my son.
81
00:19:39,526 --> 00:19:41,136
I have not long.
82
00:19:42,529 --> 00:19:44,487
This galley
83
00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:46,968
is sailing us to something
I cannot endure.
84
00:19:47,142 --> 00:19:50,189
I am ready... to be taken
to another place.
85
00:19:50,363 --> 00:19:52,365
Stay here a while longer.
86
00:19:55,803 --> 00:20:00,373
I remember well
when you first
were brought to us.
87
00:20:00,547 --> 00:20:03,550
A lonely boy
from the desert.
Guileless.
88
00:20:03,724 --> 00:20:04,899
Afraid.
89
00:20:06,074 --> 00:20:09,164
You embraced everything
we taught you.
90
00:20:11,471 --> 00:20:15,518
You found Arishat's love.
Your soul was replenished.
91
00:20:16,867 --> 00:20:20,044
When I die,
92
00:20:20,219 --> 00:20:23,004
my ancestors will meet me
in the next world.
93
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:26,355
Who will meet you?
94
00:20:26,529 --> 00:20:28,662
Hanno,
95
00:20:28,836 --> 00:20:30,664
I am done.
96
00:20:30,838 --> 00:20:34,102
Do not let them change
what you are.
97
00:21:05,786 --> 00:21:06,830
Have you seen this boy?
98
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,447
Eama! Eama!
99
00:21:19,887 --> 00:21:22,281
You must
go alone now, Hanno.
100
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,851
Never let them find you.
101
00:21:32,552 --> 00:21:34,423
Go. Go.
102
00:23:27,536 --> 00:23:30,713
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
103
00:23:30,887 --> 00:23:32,106
Emperor Geta.
104
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,066
Emperor Caracalla.
105
00:23:37,677 --> 00:23:39,243
General Acacius.
106
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:42,333
I have taken Numidia
in your names
107
00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:44,248
that your dominion
may eclipse that
108
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:46,512
of every emperor
that came before you.
109
00:23:46,686 --> 00:23:49,123
Crown him with laurels, brother.
110
00:23:58,088 --> 00:24:01,222
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
111
00:24:06,836 --> 00:24:08,708
In honor
of your conquest,
112
00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:11,798
there will be games
in the Colosseum.
113
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:15,584
I require no games
in my honor.
114
00:24:15,758 --> 00:24:19,196
Serving the Senate
and the people of Rome
115
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:21,024
is honor enough for me.
116
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:23,897
You are too modest,
Acacius.
117
00:24:24,071 --> 00:24:27,161
It does not suit a general
as accomplished as yourself.
118
00:24:29,424 --> 00:24:32,166
The glory is yours,
not mine.
119
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:35,343
I only ask for
some respite from war
120
00:24:35,517 --> 00:24:36,953
to spend time
with my wife.
121
00:24:37,127 --> 00:24:39,478
Your wife, yes.
122
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:41,218
Remember the privileges
we have granted her?
123
00:24:42,872 --> 00:24:44,874
Where is she now
to ignore such an occasion?
124
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:47,703
There are victories
yet still to come.
125
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,880
Persia.
126
00:24:52,273 --> 00:24:53,143
India.
127
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:58,018
Both... must be conquered.
128
00:24:59,976 --> 00:25:02,457
Rome has so many subjects.
129
00:25:02,631 --> 00:25:04,503
She must feed them.
130
00:25:05,765 --> 00:25:07,984
They can eat war.
131
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:13,990
Your triumphs
will be celebrated
132
00:25:14,861 --> 00:25:17,254
as a tribute
to the greatness
133
00:25:18,038 --> 00:25:19,343
of the Roman people.
134
00:25:41,714 --> 00:25:42,758
Go to hell!
135
00:26:02,996 --> 00:26:05,346
Macrinus of Thysdrus,
136
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,609
master of gladiators!
137
00:26:30,197 --> 00:26:32,025
Stay close.
138
00:26:48,476 --> 00:26:52,219
Aediles
and the town councilors,
139
00:26:52,959 --> 00:26:55,526
distinguished guests,
140
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,486
citizens of Antium,
141
00:27:02,229 --> 00:27:04,579
behold the fate
142
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:08,539
of the conquered enemies
of Rome:
143
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:14,633
The barbarian Numidians
and their chieftain,
144
00:27:15,459 --> 00:27:18,288
Jugurtha!
145
00:28:38,629 --> 00:28:39,892
This one is interesting.
146
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,137
I'll buy him.
147
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:32,379
Halt! Who goes there?
148
00:29:33,946 --> 00:29:35,164
General.
149
00:30:10,678 --> 00:30:12,245
My lady.
150
00:30:20,514 --> 00:30:22,821
I thank the gods
that brought you back home safe.
151
00:30:22,995 --> 00:30:25,998
Thank the Army.
They protected me.
152
00:30:27,782 --> 00:30:28,914
Mm.
153
00:30:30,002 --> 00:30:31,655
Let me feed you.
154
00:30:59,379 --> 00:31:00,380
Go.
155
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,469
To the wall.
156
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:15,569
The arena
is a sacred temple.
157
00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:17,310
For the bravest of you,
158
00:31:17,484 --> 00:31:20,269
the road to glory
runs through the arena.
159
00:31:20,443 --> 00:31:22,402
The arena turns slaves
into gladiators
160
00:31:22,576 --> 00:31:24,404
and gladiators into free men.
161
00:31:31,715 --> 00:31:33,239
You have worms.
162
00:31:37,243 --> 00:31:40,507
I know this one.
He eats monkeys.
163
00:31:54,782 --> 00:31:57,045
Go. Sit. Eat.
164
00:32:57,714 --> 00:32:58,759
You.
165
00:33:00,195 --> 00:33:02,545
Hanno, get up.
166
00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:12,599
What is
your native language?
I speak them all.
167
00:33:16,255 --> 00:33:19,388
You don't answer because
you can't or because you won't?
168
00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:22,739
Mm, all right.
169
00:33:22,913 --> 00:33:26,613
Violence...
is the universal language.
170
00:33:26,787 --> 00:33:29,398
Viggo,
put him through his paces.
171
00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:33,359
He can fight an ape.
Let's see if he
can fight a man.
172
00:34:43,255 --> 00:34:44,343
Enough!
173
00:34:48,912 --> 00:34:50,088
Very good.
174
00:34:51,611 --> 00:34:52,960
Very good.
175
00:34:55,005 --> 00:34:56,355
Hose him down.
176
00:35:00,185 --> 00:35:01,577
Bring him to me.
177
00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:09,890
Ah!
178
00:35:12,849 --> 00:35:14,547
A strong jaw.
179
00:35:16,375 --> 00:35:17,724
Good arms.
180
00:35:19,378 --> 00:35:20,596
Better smell.
181
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:25,210
You will do well.
182
00:35:26,036 --> 00:35:27,821
It is an art,
183
00:35:27,995 --> 00:35:29,823
choosing gladiators.
184
00:35:31,303 --> 00:35:33,479
Some choose entertainers.
185
00:35:33,653 --> 00:35:35,611
Some choose brute force.
186
00:35:35,785 --> 00:35:37,222
I choose rage.
187
00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:43,228
Crowd loves blood.
188
00:35:43,402 --> 00:35:45,055
And they love those who
love blood as much as they do.
189
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:47,623
And you, my friend, rage
190
00:35:48,407 --> 00:35:50,583
pours out of you like...
191
00:35:52,062 --> 00:35:53,586
like milk...
192
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,502
from a whore's tit.
193
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:59,244
You will be
quite the fighter.
194
00:35:59,418 --> 00:36:00,897
Not for you.
195
00:36:01,071 --> 00:36:03,073
You're right,
you do not fight for me.
196
00:36:03,248 --> 00:36:05,511
I put you in the ring,
you fight or you die.
197
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:06,773
The choice is yours.
198
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:09,819
But whose head
could I give you
199
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:13,519
that would satisfy this fury?
200
00:36:13,693 --> 00:36:15,521
The entire Roman Army's.
201
00:36:19,089 --> 00:36:20,134
Too much.
202
00:36:20,308 --> 00:36:21,831
Mm.
203
00:36:22,005 --> 00:36:24,007
The general will do.
204
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,095
General?
205
00:36:26,532 --> 00:36:28,447
- General Acacius?
- Mm.
206
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,321
Use your rage
in my service,
207
00:36:33,495 --> 00:36:37,238
and you will have his head
ready for your sword.
208
00:36:38,544 --> 00:36:41,547
Serve me and I will serve you.
Deny me...
209
00:36:42,939 --> 00:36:45,420
and you will die.
210
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:50,164
There are times I wished
you'd abandoned me
211
00:36:50,338 --> 00:36:52,035
rather than
fight their wars.
212
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,168
I've made my choice.
213
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:58,085
I can live with it.
214
00:37:02,263 --> 00:37:05,135
But my patience with those two
is at an end.
215
00:37:07,964 --> 00:37:10,097
Leta?
216
00:37:10,271 --> 00:37:13,709
You may go
to your quarters now.
We need nothing more.
217
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:22,457
To hear wives and mothers
mourning their dead
218
00:37:22,631 --> 00:37:24,285
on that beach at Numidia...
219
00:37:26,853 --> 00:37:28,463
Lucilla.
220
00:37:33,642 --> 00:37:35,078
No more.
221
00:37:37,516 --> 00:37:39,561
I will not waste
222
00:37:39,735 --> 00:37:43,217
another generation
of young men for their vanity.
223
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,962
If I fight another campaign,
it must be to depose them.
224
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,966
When will your troops
arrive?
225
00:37:53,836 --> 00:37:56,099
They land at Ostia
in ten days.
226
00:37:56,274 --> 00:38:00,190
How many of them will be
loyal to you alone?
227
00:38:01,888 --> 00:38:03,237
All of them.
228
00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:08,895
The emperors do not have
the support of the people.
229
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:13,726
The people are weary
of the madness, the tyranny.
230
00:38:16,859 --> 00:38:20,863
What is the dream of Rome
if her people are not free?
231
00:38:43,364 --> 00:38:45,714
Enjoy yourself,
everyone,
232
00:38:45,888 --> 00:38:47,803
to excess!
233
00:38:47,977 --> 00:38:50,850
Thank you. Thank you.
234
00:39:02,862 --> 00:39:04,124
Oh!
235
00:39:04,907 --> 00:39:07,910
Please, drink.
236
00:39:08,084 --> 00:39:10,870
Ah! Excuse me. Macrinus!
237
00:39:12,262 --> 00:39:14,830
I knew the provinces
were not enough for you.
238
00:39:15,004 --> 00:39:18,094
I'm just here
- for the games.
- Ah, well,
239
00:39:18,268 --> 00:39:19,792
you won't be disappointed.
240
00:39:19,966 --> 00:39:23,099
Rome has all the games
that men like you like to play.
241
00:39:23,273 --> 00:39:25,450
Men like me, Thraex?
Men like us.
242
00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:29,018
I know nothing happens
in Rome unless you've
tasted it first.
243
00:39:45,687 --> 00:39:47,167
What is my purpose here?
244
00:39:47,341 --> 00:39:48,690
You'll find out soon enough.
245
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,480
What's this we hear
about you being interested
246
00:39:55,654 --> 00:39:59,266
in standing for election
to the Senate, Macrinus?
247
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,877
Me? No, I'm, uh...
248
00:40:02,051 --> 00:40:04,445
I don't even know how
to use an abacus.
249
00:40:04,619 --> 00:40:06,316
But I do understand that
250
00:40:07,622 --> 00:40:08,841
it's customary
for your guests
251
00:40:09,015 --> 00:40:11,539
to make wagers
at these affairs?
252
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:13,889
How large a sum
did you have in mind?
253
00:40:15,543 --> 00:40:16,936
A thousand gold denarii?
254
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:18,416
Two.
255
00:40:20,374 --> 00:40:21,549
Two?
256
00:40:23,551 --> 00:40:25,771
Denarii.
257
00:40:41,743 --> 00:40:44,442
Stand back! Stand back!
258
00:40:46,139 --> 00:40:47,532
My emperors.
259
00:40:47,706 --> 00:40:51,666
Lords, ladies and gentlemen,
and senators.
260
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,103
For your entertainment,
261
00:40:54,843 --> 00:40:57,106
the art of combat!
262
00:40:59,282 --> 00:41:00,936
May I present
263
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:03,112
the barbarian versus,
264
00:41:03,286 --> 00:41:07,334
from my own stable,
the mighty Vichek!
265
00:41:14,646 --> 00:41:17,213
- This is your gladiator?
- It is.
266
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:23,176
Three rounds,
hand to hand.
267
00:41:23,350 --> 00:41:24,917
Swords!
268
00:41:25,091 --> 00:41:28,311
We want swords.
A fight to the death.
269
00:41:29,704 --> 00:41:32,577
No quarter to be offered...
or given.
270
00:41:32,751 --> 00:41:34,796
Fight now!
271
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,411
Brother,
272
00:41:42,587 --> 00:41:44,240
let's not kill each other
for their amusement.
273
00:42:50,611 --> 00:42:52,178
Remarkable!
274
00:42:54,702 --> 00:42:56,225
Remarkable!
275
00:42:57,487 --> 00:42:59,446
Thraex,
he looked expensive.
276
00:43:00,795 --> 00:43:02,971
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
277
00:43:03,972 --> 00:43:05,321
Remarkable.
278
00:43:09,891 --> 00:43:11,414
From where do you hail?
279
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:18,421
Speak.
280
00:43:22,121 --> 00:43:23,252
I said speak.
281
00:43:23,426 --> 00:43:25,037
He is from the colonies,
Your Majesty.
282
00:43:25,211 --> 00:43:27,517
His native tongue
is all he understands.
283
00:43:34,046 --> 00:43:37,005
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.
284
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:43,621
Smooth is the descent,
and easy is the way.
285
00:43:46,362 --> 00:43:48,669
But...
286
00:43:50,976 --> 00:43:52,847
to come back from hell
287
00:43:53,021 --> 00:43:54,762
and view the cheerful skies,
288
00:43:54,936 --> 00:43:59,462
in this the task
and mighty labor lies."
289
00:44:06,034 --> 00:44:07,340
Virgil, Your Majesty.
290
00:44:08,471 --> 00:44:09,385
Poetry!
291
00:44:12,867 --> 00:44:15,435
- Very clever, Macrinus.
- Thank you.
292
00:44:16,828 --> 00:44:19,047
I've grown so bored,
but you surprise me.
293
00:44:19,221 --> 00:44:22,181
To amuse you is my only wish.
294
00:44:22,355 --> 00:44:24,096
We are amused,
we are amused.
295
00:44:26,185 --> 00:44:27,447
We are amused.
296
00:44:28,927 --> 00:44:31,973
And we all look forward
to seeing your poet
297
00:44:33,105 --> 00:44:34,367
perform in the arena.
298
00:44:34,541 --> 00:44:37,413
As do I, Your Majesties.
299
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,241
Thank you.
300
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:40,721
Viggo?
301
00:44:42,201 --> 00:44:43,550
Come with me.
302
00:45:01,742 --> 00:45:04,136
You fought well today,
but you were lucky, too.
303
00:45:06,573 --> 00:45:09,010
The lines you recited.
304
00:45:09,184 --> 00:45:11,621
You didn't learn that
in Africa, I know that.
305
00:45:12,622 --> 00:45:14,712
- A good verse travels far.
- Mm.
306
00:45:14,886 --> 00:45:16,757
Who taught you poetry?
307
00:45:16,931 --> 00:45:19,064
A captured Roman officer.
308
00:45:19,238 --> 00:45:22,371
I was posted guard over him
and he used to tell us tales
309
00:45:22,545 --> 00:45:24,373
to pass the time.
310
00:45:25,374 --> 00:45:26,506
And what became
of this prisoner?
311
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,116
Oh, we ate him.
312
00:45:29,509 --> 00:45:30,510
As barbarians do.
313
00:45:30,684 --> 00:45:32,947
As barbarians do.
314
00:45:33,121 --> 00:45:35,036
And where were you born?
315
00:45:35,210 --> 00:45:37,430
Why does my past matter
if it is my future
316
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:39,737
to die for you in the arena?
317
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:48,615
Tell me what use have I
for Roman money.
318
00:45:51,879 --> 00:45:53,402
A gladiator
319
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,057
can buy his own freedom.
320
00:45:57,145 --> 00:45:58,930
His liberty.
321
00:45:59,887 --> 00:46:01,584
The Roman dream.
322
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:03,673
No, the slave dreams
not of freedom
323
00:46:03,848 --> 00:46:06,241
but of a slave
to call his own.
324
00:46:07,155 --> 00:46:08,591
Cicero.
325
00:46:09,854 --> 00:46:12,160
Is that what you were
raised on, Macrinus?
326
00:46:13,945 --> 00:46:16,425
What did you have to do
for Roman money?
327
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:19,254
You promised me a head.
328
00:46:19,428 --> 00:46:22,170
Earn your keep
and you can have
anyone's head.
329
00:46:46,455 --> 00:46:48,196
Father,
330
00:46:48,370 --> 00:46:50,808
protect us and guide us.
331
00:47:04,691 --> 00:47:06,040
Senators.
332
00:47:06,693 --> 00:47:07,868
My lady.
333
00:47:14,005 --> 00:47:17,443
My lady, I wish we were
meeting in better times.
334
00:47:18,313 --> 00:47:20,315
Better times will come.
335
00:47:21,621 --> 00:47:23,928
And why are we here?
336
00:47:24,102 --> 00:47:25,930
To take back the city.
337
00:47:27,845 --> 00:47:31,370
And restore Rome
to where she should be.
338
00:47:32,806 --> 00:47:34,677
An exciting venture.
339
00:47:35,983 --> 00:47:38,377
- When?
- On the final day
of the games.
340
00:47:39,378 --> 00:47:42,076
My army waits for my command
at Ostia.
341
00:47:42,250 --> 00:47:44,905
Five thousand soldiers
loyal to me...
342
00:47:46,472 --> 00:47:48,778
will enter Rome
and then the Colosseum,
343
00:47:48,953 --> 00:47:50,780
where they will
arrest the emperors
344
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:52,521
for their crimes
against the Senate
345
00:47:53,435 --> 00:47:54,959
and their people.
346
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,878
Uh, this plan
is ambitious and risky.
347
00:48:01,052 --> 00:48:03,706
Rome will be yours
to administer and to--
348
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:08,450
Marcus Aurelius talked
of restoring power
to the Senate,
349
00:48:08,624 --> 00:48:12,846
but that was a generation ago.
Much has changed.
350
00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:16,850
The people
have not seen hope
351
00:48:17,024 --> 00:48:18,330
for many years.
352
00:48:18,504 --> 00:48:22,073
But with time...
and guidance...
353
00:48:23,813 --> 00:48:27,121
Lucilla, you are the daughter
of Marcus Aurelius.
354
00:48:27,295 --> 00:48:29,297
He had my loyalty.
355
00:48:31,082 --> 00:48:32,997
And so do you.
356
00:48:35,347 --> 00:48:36,783
Senator Thraex?
357
00:48:38,567 --> 00:48:41,919
Politics follows power,
my lady.
358
00:48:43,094 --> 00:48:46,053
Take back
what is rightfully yours...
359
00:48:47,098 --> 00:48:49,100
and the Senate
will support you.
360
00:48:50,231 --> 00:48:51,406
Thank you.
361
00:49:07,553 --> 00:49:08,946
Food! Food!
362
00:49:13,602 --> 00:49:15,909
When I was told of this place,
363
00:49:16,083 --> 00:49:18,216
they never mentioned
the stink.
364
00:49:20,218 --> 00:49:21,349
That would be Hanno.
365
00:49:24,787 --> 00:49:27,486
Well, you'll have to
put up with me as I am.
366
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:35,842
And what's that up there?
A wolf?
367
00:49:37,626 --> 00:49:40,760
The twins there,
they were outcasts.
368
00:49:40,934 --> 00:49:42,588
Left in the hills to die.
369
00:49:44,155 --> 00:49:47,723
That wolf found them
and she suckled them
on her milk.
370
00:49:49,073 --> 00:49:51,292
Raised by an animal.
It's in their blood.
371
00:49:51,466 --> 00:49:54,252
How do you know this place?
372
00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:57,429
I know the chaos
they brought.
373
00:49:58,734 --> 00:50:01,433
This city infects
everything it touches.
374
00:50:01,607 --> 00:50:03,609
I never dreamt
it would be so big.
375
00:50:03,783 --> 00:50:05,437
Don't fall for it.
376
00:50:05,611 --> 00:50:07,569
This city is diseased.
377
00:50:08,918 --> 00:50:11,008
Food! Food!
378
00:50:34,814 --> 00:50:37,208
You! Barbarian scum!
379
00:50:43,170 --> 00:50:45,129
Help me.
Please, help me!
380
00:51:21,948 --> 00:51:23,167
- Ah!
- Thraex.
381
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:27,997
About our wager.
382
00:51:28,172 --> 00:51:29,869
Ah. The barbarian.
383
00:51:30,043 --> 00:51:31,262
Yes, I haven't forgotten,
I always repay my debts.
384
00:51:31,436 --> 00:51:33,220
I was merely
going to suggest
385
00:51:33,394 --> 00:51:35,266
that perhaps your luck
might change.
386
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,790
Shall we say
double or quits?
387
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,448
- Ah.
- Ah.
388
00:51:55,808 --> 00:51:57,157
Get back!
389
00:52:11,476 --> 00:52:12,999
Fresh meat.
390
00:52:17,046 --> 00:52:18,918
Line up! Line up!
391
00:52:49,557 --> 00:52:52,125
Play! Play!
392
00:53:07,358 --> 00:53:09,621
Emperor Caracalla.
393
00:53:10,361 --> 00:53:12,189
Emperor Geta.
394
00:53:12,363 --> 00:53:14,887
Citizens of Rome!
395
00:53:16,932 --> 00:53:19,935
These sacred games
396
00:53:20,109 --> 00:53:23,243
are held to honor
the victory of Rome
397
00:53:23,417 --> 00:53:26,420
over the barbarians of Numidia.
398
00:53:27,769 --> 00:53:30,294
Go! Go!
399
00:53:33,253 --> 00:53:36,648
And to honor
Rome's legionary commander,
400
00:53:36,822 --> 00:53:38,954
General Justus Acacius!
401
00:53:39,128 --> 00:53:41,696
[man] Long live Acacius!
402
00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:43,263
And with him
403
00:53:43,437 --> 00:53:48,007
Lucilla, the daughter
of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
404
00:53:49,922 --> 00:53:53,360
Lucilla![man] Mother of Rome!
405
00:53:54,361 --> 00:53:55,667
Acacius.
406
00:53:56,363 --> 00:53:57,364
General.
407
00:54:05,111 --> 00:54:08,332
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
408
00:54:08,506 --> 00:54:13,511
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
409
00:54:14,512 --> 00:54:15,469
Speak to them.
410
00:54:15,643 --> 00:54:18,037
Speak to us!
411
00:54:26,306 --> 00:54:29,004
I am not an orator
412
00:54:29,178 --> 00:54:30,702
or a politician.
413
00:54:32,007 --> 00:54:33,618
I am a soldier.
414
00:54:36,142 --> 00:54:41,321
I have seen bravery
in men and women during war.
415
00:54:42,104 --> 00:54:43,845
And even once in this arena.
416
00:54:45,456 --> 00:54:47,109
So if you ask anything
of the gods...
417
00:54:49,068 --> 00:54:51,375
ask for that same bravery.
418
00:54:53,725 --> 00:54:55,814
Because Rome needs it now.
419
00:54:59,992 --> 00:55:02,734
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
420
00:55:02,908 --> 00:55:06,085
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
421
00:55:18,750 --> 00:55:21,187
From the South Gate,
422
00:55:21,361 --> 00:55:26,323
fighters from the stable
of Macrinus of Thysdrus!
423
00:55:38,944 --> 00:55:40,859
From the stables
424
00:55:41,033 --> 00:55:44,515
of Emperors Caracalla
and Geta themselves,
425
00:55:44,689 --> 00:55:47,169
the undefeated champion:
426
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:50,912
Glyceo the Destroyer!
427
00:55:57,615 --> 00:55:58,485
Hold.
428
00:56:21,421 --> 00:56:23,249
Hold.
429
00:56:24,555 --> 00:56:26,165
Hail Caesars!
430
00:56:27,819 --> 00:56:31,126
Glyceo! Glyceo! Glyceo!
431
00:56:42,921 --> 00:56:46,011
Hold together
and when it charges,
break for the wall.
432
00:56:46,185 --> 00:56:47,012
Why should I?
433
00:56:51,277 --> 00:56:52,147
Hold!
434
00:56:53,322 --> 00:56:54,367
Hold!
435
00:56:54,541 --> 00:56:55,412
Break!
436
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:57,762
Cowards!
437
00:57:11,863 --> 00:57:13,908
To the wall!
438
00:57:25,964 --> 00:57:26,834
Come on!
439
00:59:10,285 --> 00:59:13,158
Brother, it's that poet,
is it not?
440
00:59:13,985 --> 00:59:15,900
I can't remember.
441
00:59:16,074 --> 00:59:17,728
That night was a blur.
442
00:59:19,164 --> 00:59:21,732
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.
443
00:59:21,906 --> 00:59:24,909
Smooth the desc--"
I forget.
444
00:59:25,083 --> 00:59:26,780
"Smooth the descent..."
445
00:59:27,651 --> 00:59:29,696
"Smooth is the descent,
446
00:59:30,262 --> 00:59:31,916
easy is the way."
447
00:59:39,663 --> 00:59:40,620
Shield!
448
01:00:16,874 --> 01:00:20,355
Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!
449
01:00:22,183 --> 01:00:23,402
Blood.
450
01:00:26,448 --> 01:00:27,580
Lucilla,
451
01:00:28,276 --> 01:00:29,495
shall we show mercy?
452
01:00:29,669 --> 01:00:31,279
Mercy.
453
01:00:46,643 --> 01:00:48,601
No mercy!
454
01:00:48,775 --> 01:00:50,559
Your life has been
spared by the gods--
455
01:00:50,734 --> 01:00:54,694
I would sooner face your blade
than accept Roman mercy!
456
01:01:10,841 --> 01:01:14,192
Kill! Kill! Kill!
457
01:01:14,366 --> 01:01:17,499
Kill! Kill! Kill!
458
01:01:28,989 --> 01:01:33,951
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
459
01:02:02,109 --> 01:02:04,721
The road to freedom
doesn't run
through the arena.
460
01:02:05,547 --> 01:02:07,071
It leads to this.
461
01:02:11,597 --> 01:02:13,512
Go to your cells.
462
01:02:17,429 --> 01:02:20,911
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
463
01:02:37,841 --> 01:02:39,190
Come on, let's go.
464
01:02:52,464 --> 01:02:55,684
"Gates of hell
are open night and day.
465
01:02:56,729 --> 01:02:58,296
Smooth is the descent...
466
01:02:58,470 --> 01:03:00,341
...easy is the way."
467
01:03:04,476 --> 01:03:06,783
There, there, there, there.
468
01:03:06,957 --> 01:03:08,219
And I've got you.
469
01:03:08,393 --> 01:03:10,961
I'm Maximus,
the savior of Rome!
470
01:03:30,589 --> 01:03:32,591
Scatto and Argento.
471
01:03:46,344 --> 01:03:47,693
Lucius is safe?
472
01:04:05,537 --> 01:04:06,581
Lucius!
473
01:04:19,290 --> 01:04:21,118
Lucius,
474
01:04:21,292 --> 01:04:24,208
you're the sole heir
to the throne now.
475
01:04:26,036 --> 01:04:27,254
There are men
who want to kill you
476
01:04:27,428 --> 01:04:28,865
so they can take power.
477
01:04:30,605 --> 01:04:33,739
I promise I'll bring you back
as soon as it's safe.
478
01:04:33,913 --> 01:04:37,438
Mother, why can't you
come with me?
479
01:04:37,612 --> 01:04:39,963
I... I have to
stay here for your sake.
480
01:04:40,137 --> 01:04:42,052
And for the sake of Rome.
481
01:04:42,226 --> 01:04:44,619
Remember who you are.
482
01:04:44,793 --> 01:04:46,665
And that I love you.
483
01:04:47,405 --> 01:04:48,754
I love you.
484
01:04:49,668 --> 01:04:50,712
Come.
485
01:04:53,977 --> 01:04:55,326
Give me your leg.
486
01:04:57,197 --> 01:04:58,851
Go. Go!
487
01:05:05,597 --> 01:05:07,077
So...
488
01:05:10,428 --> 01:05:11,864
What's your name?
489
01:05:14,693 --> 01:05:17,217
I'm Ravi. I'm a doctor.
490
01:05:18,479 --> 01:05:21,918
Because... more men die
of infected wounds
491
01:05:22,092 --> 01:05:24,616
than out there, in the arena.
492
01:05:26,052 --> 01:05:28,837
This needs to be cleaned,
it needs to be stitched and
493
01:05:29,012 --> 01:05:31,579
it is going to hurt.
494
01:05:31,753 --> 01:05:32,885
Mm.
495
01:05:33,059 --> 01:05:36,062
This is Devil's Breath
and opium.
496
01:05:36,715 --> 01:05:38,195
It's for the pain.
497
01:05:39,196 --> 01:05:40,893
You should breathe in.
498
01:05:46,899 --> 01:05:48,335
I've been here
so long now,
499
01:05:48,509 --> 01:05:50,903
I don't even notice anymore.
500
01:05:51,077 --> 01:05:53,775
I've done more amputations
than I can count.
501
01:05:54,994 --> 01:05:57,518
Where'd you
- learn your trade?
- Why do you ask?
502
01:05:57,692 --> 01:05:59,303
You've got a heavy hand.
503
01:06:00,739 --> 01:06:02,132
I used to be
a gladiator myself.
504
01:06:02,306 --> 01:06:03,611
Ah.
505
01:06:03,785 --> 01:06:05,787
And would you have bested me?
506
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:07,441
In your prime, of course.
507
01:06:08,660 --> 01:06:11,271
In your current state,
I could best you now.
508
01:06:13,143 --> 01:06:16,276
Luckily for you,
I have put down my sword.
509
01:06:16,450 --> 01:06:18,583
So now I spend my days
510
01:06:18,757 --> 01:06:21,238
saving lives
instead of taking them.
511
01:06:22,848 --> 01:06:25,285
And why such a change
so late in life?
512
01:06:26,199 --> 01:06:28,332
What we do in life
513
01:06:28,506 --> 01:06:30,856
echoes in eternity.
514
01:06:34,599 --> 01:06:36,166
I feel like
I know those words.
515
01:06:36,340 --> 01:06:38,820
I can't take credit.
516
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:41,475
It's written on
one of the tombs.
517
01:06:41,649 --> 01:06:44,261
Over the bones of a gladiator.
518
01:06:44,435 --> 01:06:45,653
[Macrinus] My champion!
519
01:06:45,827 --> 01:06:47,916
I smell Devil's Breath!
520
01:06:50,441 --> 01:06:53,792
My... champion.
521
01:06:54,793 --> 01:06:56,490
Did you hear that crowd?
522
01:06:59,537 --> 01:07:01,713
- Did you hear that crowd?
- Mm-hm.
523
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,804
You have something.
I knew it from the start.
524
01:07:05,978 --> 01:07:09,808
- Did you now?
- Yes. The Greeks call it...
525
01:07:10,591 --> 01:07:12,071
thymos.
526
01:07:12,245 --> 01:07:13,551
Smoke.
527
01:07:14,291 --> 01:07:15,640
Rage.
528
01:07:16,641 --> 01:07:18,686
That rage is your gift.
529
01:07:19,383 --> 01:07:22,125
Like the great Achilles.
530
01:07:22,299 --> 01:07:24,562
Never let it go.
531
01:07:24,736 --> 01:07:27,478
It will carry you
to greatness,
532
01:07:27,652 --> 01:07:29,436
my champion.
533
01:07:48,890 --> 01:07:50,892
Thank you
534
01:07:51,067 --> 01:07:52,938
for inviting me.
535
01:07:53,112 --> 01:07:55,071
This is truly an honor.
536
01:08:00,206 --> 01:08:02,034
I hear you are
the talk of the court.
537
01:08:04,428 --> 01:08:05,429
Yes.
538
01:08:06,343 --> 01:08:07,779
We've met before.
539
01:08:08,519 --> 01:08:10,521
- Have we?
- Long ago.
540
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,524
Where?
541
01:08:13,698 --> 01:08:15,526
I was in the service
of your father's army
542
01:08:15,700 --> 01:08:17,702
on his African campaign.
543
01:08:18,964 --> 01:08:20,966
You served
with my father?
544
01:08:24,665 --> 01:08:25,797
Mm.
545
01:08:26,493 --> 01:08:28,495
I had the privilege
546
01:08:29,540 --> 01:08:31,063
of reading
his "Meditations."
547
01:08:31,237 --> 01:08:32,456
Mm.
548
01:08:35,459 --> 01:08:37,374
"The best revenge
549
01:08:38,549 --> 01:08:41,769
is to be unlike him
who performed the injury."
550
01:08:44,076 --> 01:08:46,557
I hear you've been
arming half the legions
551
01:08:46,731 --> 01:08:51,736
in the entire empire,
and here, now, in Rome...
552
01:08:53,085 --> 01:08:55,957
you're gaining influence
by sponsoring gladiators.
553
01:08:56,132 --> 01:08:58,134
I do it for the love
of the sport.
554
01:08:58,308 --> 01:09:01,267
And where did you find
these gladiators?
555
01:09:02,268 --> 01:09:05,010
They're usually
prisoners of war.
556
01:09:05,967 --> 01:09:09,362
Or vagrants.
Why do you ask?
557
01:09:09,536 --> 01:09:12,235
A man can choose to fight...
558
01:09:14,150 --> 01:09:15,760
and stay alive.
559
01:09:15,934 --> 01:09:19,024
It's the same in life as it is
in the arena, is it not?
560
01:09:21,505 --> 01:09:23,071
Who is this?
561
01:09:23,246 --> 01:09:25,596
That is my father
as a youth.
562
01:09:28,816 --> 01:09:29,991
She had a child?
563
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:31,863
Mm.
564
01:09:32,037 --> 01:09:34,344
It's common knowledge.
When Commodus was killed,
565
01:09:34,518 --> 01:09:36,259
- the boy disappeared.
- Mm.
566
01:09:36,433 --> 01:09:38,391
- But who would care?
- Lucilla would care.
567
01:09:38,565 --> 01:09:41,177
- More wine!
- More wine!
568
01:09:42,569 --> 01:09:46,051
He was of the royal bloodline,
after all.
569
01:09:47,792 --> 01:09:49,054
And his father?
570
01:09:49,228 --> 01:09:53,885
Ostensibly,
Lucius Verus.
571
01:09:54,059 --> 01:09:55,713
See, it was
an arranged marriage.
572
01:09:55,887 --> 01:09:56,931
She was 14.
573
01:09:57,105 --> 01:10:00,370
- Mm.
- Females were not his taste.
574
01:10:00,544 --> 01:10:01,806
- Nor mine, some days.
- Nor yours!
575
01:10:03,590 --> 01:10:07,725
No, no, no.
By rumor, you see,
she took lovers.
576
01:10:07,899 --> 01:10:12,033
And by rumor,
the real father...
was Commodus.
577
01:10:13,034 --> 01:10:15,385
Brotherly love,
- you see?
- Yeah.
578
01:10:15,559 --> 01:10:17,213
If he died,
579
01:10:18,257 --> 01:10:20,607
- there has to be remains.
- Mm.
580
01:10:20,781 --> 01:10:24,045
And if he lived,
that would make him about...
581
01:10:24,220 --> 01:10:26,222
Um, well,
let's work it out.
582
01:10:26,396 --> 01:10:29,703
He was about 12
- when he died?
- Yes.
583
01:10:29,877 --> 01:10:34,142
So that would make him...
584
01:11:09,787 --> 01:11:10,614
My lady.
585
01:11:11,267 --> 01:11:12,137
Gracchus.
586
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:15,140
- Please come.
- Thank you.
587
01:11:33,941 --> 01:11:35,291
Gladiator...
588
01:11:36,857 --> 01:11:37,815
do you know me?
589
01:11:46,258 --> 01:11:47,564
Do you have a family?
590
01:11:50,088 --> 01:11:53,309
A wife. Arishat.
591
01:11:54,875 --> 01:11:56,268
Arishat.
592
01:11:56,442 --> 01:11:59,619
She was killed
under your husband's command.
593
01:12:02,405 --> 01:12:04,494
Rome drowns
in its own blood.
594
01:12:04,668 --> 01:12:06,931
And yet you enjoy
the pleasures of the Colosseum.
595
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,109
There is much
you do not understand.
596
01:12:17,898 --> 01:12:18,986
Lucius.
597
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,162
I do not know
who you think I am.
598
01:12:23,556 --> 01:12:25,384
My name is Hanno,
599
01:12:25,558 --> 01:12:27,952
and I have no mother,
or none that I can remember.
600
01:12:34,698 --> 01:12:36,656
I'm so sorry.
601
01:12:36,830 --> 01:12:38,832
If your son were here,
I feel sure he would tell you
602
01:12:39,006 --> 01:12:40,834
not to grieve him.
603
01:12:41,008 --> 01:12:42,662
For he would not be the boy
that you sent away.
604
01:12:42,836 --> 01:12:44,795
That boy is dead.
605
01:12:47,232 --> 01:12:49,321
You may think
I have little worth.
606
01:12:50,975 --> 01:12:52,977
You may think
I betrayed you.
607
01:12:54,979 --> 01:12:56,720
But I need you to know...
608
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:01,072
if you will not have
your mother's love,
609
01:13:01,246 --> 01:13:04,075
then take
your father's strength.
610
01:13:05,293 --> 01:13:06,643
You need it.
611
01:13:08,993 --> 01:13:13,171
His name was
Maximus Decimus Meridius.
612
01:13:14,564 --> 01:13:15,956
And I see him in you.
613
01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:17,480
Get out.
614
01:13:19,656 --> 01:13:22,093
My lady, we must go at once!
615
01:13:25,575 --> 01:13:27,925
Lucius, you were loved
616
01:13:28,099 --> 01:13:31,145
by myself
and by your father.
617
01:13:32,451 --> 01:13:33,800
Your name
was on his lips--
618
01:13:33,974 --> 01:13:35,759
Get out!
619
01:14:01,828 --> 01:14:03,700
Lucius is alive.
620
01:14:06,093 --> 01:14:07,791
Are you certain?
621
01:14:07,965 --> 01:14:09,270
Yes.
622
01:14:10,228 --> 01:14:11,534
I know my son.
623
01:14:14,624 --> 01:14:16,452
I spoke to him
tonight.
624
01:14:19,890 --> 01:14:22,936
He may be lost to me
for what I did,
625
01:14:24,198 --> 01:14:25,852
but he lives.
626
01:14:27,114 --> 01:14:29,639
The third day of the games
is tomorrow.
627
01:14:29,813 --> 01:14:31,292
Most fighters won't survive.
628
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:32,816
Acacius,
629
01:14:34,208 --> 01:14:35,688
you must help him.
630
01:14:36,559 --> 01:14:38,430
Help him?[crying] Yes.
631
01:14:40,954 --> 01:14:43,435
I failed him then.
632
01:14:44,001 --> 01:14:45,481
I know I did.
633
01:14:47,308 --> 01:14:49,441
I cannot fail him now.
634
01:14:52,096 --> 01:14:53,445
The army is in Ostia.
635
01:14:53,619 --> 01:14:56,317
If we wait a few days...
636
01:14:56,492 --> 01:14:58,494
He could be dead
by then.
637
01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:01,845
Acacius,
638
01:15:02,019 --> 01:15:05,588
I would willingly
give my life for Rome,
639
01:15:06,806 --> 01:15:09,200
but I will not
give my son's.
640
01:15:15,423 --> 01:15:17,643
And one.
641
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,254
And two.
642
01:15:20,428 --> 01:15:23,040
And one.
643
01:15:23,214 --> 01:15:26,043
Together.
Timing, timing, timing!
644
01:15:27,348 --> 01:15:30,395
And one. And two.
645
01:15:31,048 --> 01:15:32,963
And one.
646
01:15:33,137 --> 01:15:35,008
Pause, pause!
647
01:15:37,881 --> 01:15:39,056
We won't get far
like this.
648
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,147
Just him. You go.
649
01:15:43,321 --> 01:15:45,018
Go!
650
01:15:45,192 --> 01:15:48,587
Let's see how far you can go
on your own without your team.
651
01:15:50,328 --> 01:15:51,764
Ready?
652
01:15:51,938 --> 01:15:53,157
One!
653
01:15:54,071 --> 01:15:54,941
And two!
654
01:15:55,115 --> 01:15:57,161
Timing, timing!
655
01:15:57,901 --> 01:15:59,250
Come on, more!
656
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,083
More!
657
01:16:23,013 --> 01:16:24,144
Leave him.
658
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,514
It's just vinegar,
my friend.
659
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,997
There will be
no more opium for you.
660
01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:56,002
There is plenty of pain waiting
for you in the next life.
661
01:16:56,176 --> 01:16:59,484
I don't know why
you are so greedy for it
in this one.
662
01:17:04,228 --> 01:17:05,577
Are you a free man, Ravi?
663
01:17:05,751 --> 01:17:07,579
"Free."
664
01:17:09,276 --> 01:17:11,627
I am. Mm.
665
01:17:11,801 --> 01:17:13,280
I laid down my sword
666
01:17:13,454 --> 01:17:15,369
and I swore never
to pick it up again.
667
01:17:15,543 --> 01:17:16,980
And yet
you choose this hell?
668
01:17:17,154 --> 01:17:18,721
Mm-hm.
669
01:17:18,895 --> 01:17:20,200
What was your home before?
670
01:17:21,462 --> 01:17:22,812
Varanasi.
671
01:17:22,986 --> 01:17:25,162
And why don't you go back?
672
01:17:25,336 --> 01:17:26,729
I wish I could.
673
01:17:26,903 --> 01:17:28,600
But...
674
01:17:31,168 --> 01:17:33,170
I met a woman.
Ah.
675
01:17:34,084 --> 01:17:36,434
- It's always a woman.
- Always.
676
01:17:36,608 --> 01:17:40,438
She is from Londinium.
Britannia. You know.
677
01:17:40,612 --> 01:17:42,396
So now...
678
01:17:42,570 --> 01:17:45,443
our sons,
they speak only Latin.
679
01:17:45,617 --> 01:17:47,924
My daughter's eyes,
they are as blue as yours.
680
01:17:50,709 --> 01:17:52,232
We are Romans now.
681
01:17:52,406 --> 01:17:56,019
I grew up hearing stories
at my grandfather's knee.
682
01:17:57,237 --> 01:18:00,545
He used to talk
of the dream that was Rome.
683
01:18:02,895 --> 01:18:06,769
It was so fragile,
you could only whisper it...
684
01:18:09,119 --> 01:18:10,860
or it would vanish.
685
01:18:11,774 --> 01:18:13,210
So,
686
01:18:13,384 --> 01:18:14,994
what was this dream?
687
01:18:15,168 --> 01:18:19,651
A Rome where all could live
under fair law and be protected.
688
01:18:20,608 --> 01:18:22,480
A Rome of the Senate.
689
01:18:24,134 --> 01:18:25,657
A Rome of hope.
690
01:18:28,791 --> 01:18:33,012
Your grandfather,
he sounds like
a dangerous man.
691
01:18:33,186 --> 01:18:34,405
Hm.
692
01:18:37,147 --> 01:18:39,279
The odds are against you.
693
01:18:41,673 --> 01:18:43,675
The odds
are always against me.
694
01:18:44,632 --> 01:18:45,764
Don't worry, old man.
695
01:18:45,938 --> 01:18:47,679
Eh?
696
01:18:51,248 --> 01:18:53,380
You should
- get some rest. Hm?
- Mm.
697
01:18:54,512 --> 01:18:56,906
Your men will need you
to lead them tomorrow.
698
01:19:13,270 --> 01:19:14,967
This is about survival.
699
01:19:16,099 --> 01:19:17,404
Survive!
700
01:19:17,578 --> 01:19:21,278
In the name of Poseidon,
701
01:19:21,452 --> 01:19:25,543
we celebrate the glory
of naval war.
702
01:19:25,717 --> 01:19:27,371
They have archers.
703
01:19:27,545 --> 01:19:29,895
Be ready.
Listen for my commands.
704
01:19:30,069 --> 01:19:32,724
Stay together
and pull as one, yes?
705
01:19:32,898 --> 01:19:33,681
Yes!
706
01:19:33,856 --> 01:19:36,162
- Yes?
- Yes!
707
01:19:43,039 --> 01:19:45,693
Today we relive
708
01:19:45,868 --> 01:19:49,306
the Battle of Salamis!
709
01:19:50,698 --> 01:19:55,225
The Trojans
versus the Persians!
710
01:19:59,795 --> 01:20:01,361
Oars out![all] Oars!
711
01:20:02,145 --> 01:20:04,190
And... pull!
712
01:20:23,862 --> 01:20:25,821
Archers!
713
01:20:25,995 --> 01:20:26,865
Archers!
714
01:20:29,041 --> 01:20:30,042
Pull!
715
01:20:38,964 --> 01:20:40,618
Pull!
716
01:20:43,447 --> 01:20:44,448
Pull!
717
01:20:57,722 --> 01:21:00,072
Pull! To my time!
718
01:21:00,856 --> 01:21:02,118
And... now!
719
01:21:04,772 --> 01:21:07,079
Left side! Ready, and
720
01:21:07,253 --> 01:21:09,125
ship oars now!
721
01:21:09,299 --> 01:21:11,344
Oars in! Oars in!
722
01:21:12,868 --> 01:21:13,738
Get down!
723
01:21:29,928 --> 01:21:33,801
And pull! And pull!
724
01:21:36,674 --> 01:21:38,763
Don't stop!
725
01:21:41,113 --> 01:21:42,288
Pull!
726
01:21:44,943 --> 01:21:46,336
And right!
727
01:21:51,994 --> 01:21:53,386
Ready to ram!
728
01:21:55,649 --> 01:21:58,130
And brace! Brace!
729
01:22:38,214 --> 01:22:39,606
Everyone regroup!
730
01:23:15,903 --> 01:23:17,905
Praetorians!
731
01:23:19,255 --> 01:23:21,648
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
732
01:23:21,822 --> 01:23:22,693
Move, move.
733
01:23:29,700 --> 01:23:32,790
In the name of the emperors...
734
01:23:32,964 --> 01:23:37,534
the victor is Hanno!
735
01:23:49,241 --> 01:23:51,113
Who did this?
736
01:23:53,898 --> 01:23:56,118
Who did this?!
737
01:23:56,814 --> 01:23:58,946
- It was me!
- I did it!
738
01:23:59,121 --> 01:24:00,948
- I did it! I did it! I did it!
- It was me!
739
01:24:05,518 --> 01:24:07,607
Geta will want retribution
for all of you.
740
01:24:08,695 --> 01:24:09,870
Did you learn to shoot
in the same place
741
01:24:10,045 --> 01:24:11,437
you learned to recite poetry?
742
01:24:11,611 --> 01:24:12,699
Be glad it wasn't me,
743
01:24:12,873 --> 01:24:14,136
or that arrow
would have found you.
744
01:24:30,021 --> 01:24:31,457
Be seated.
745
01:24:33,981 --> 01:24:35,374
I have news for you.
746
01:24:39,900 --> 01:24:41,337
He's here, sir.
747
01:24:44,514 --> 01:24:46,472
Oh, still here.
748
01:24:48,648 --> 01:24:49,997
Macrinus.
749
01:24:50,172 --> 01:24:52,261
Welcome.
750
01:24:53,871 --> 01:24:56,091
Yes, I'm listening.
751
01:24:56,265 --> 01:24:58,789
You know
this is my house now.
752
01:24:58,963 --> 01:25:01,183
Your debt to me is
over 10,000 denarii.
753
01:25:01,357 --> 01:25:02,662
You know that.
754
01:25:02,836 --> 01:25:05,361
I have other things. Uh...
755
01:25:05,535 --> 01:25:07,232
Cattle. Art!
756
01:25:07,406 --> 01:25:08,929
Truth, then.
757
01:25:09,104 --> 01:25:10,627
What do you... want?
758
01:25:10,801 --> 01:25:13,412
Truth.
That's what I want.
759
01:25:13,586 --> 01:25:17,982
Nothing happens in Rome
without your knowledge.
760
01:25:19,157 --> 01:25:21,159
You have
the senators' trust.
761
01:25:22,029 --> 01:25:24,162
You have
Lucilla's trust.
762
01:25:24,336 --> 01:25:26,991
More importantly,
you have my trust.
763
01:25:29,036 --> 01:25:32,910
You wish my... loyalty?
764
01:25:33,084 --> 01:25:34,738
I own...
765
01:25:36,174 --> 01:25:37,958
your house.
766
01:25:38,133 --> 01:25:40,744
I want your loyalty.
767
01:25:44,530 --> 01:25:45,923
I...
768
01:25:47,142 --> 01:25:48,839
- Tell me.
- I have heard...
769
01:25:49,013 --> 01:25:51,668
of a plot...
770
01:25:52,582 --> 01:25:55,193
- to dethrone the emperors.
- Yes.
771
01:25:55,367 --> 01:25:57,761
But the plan
has been delayed, uh...
772
01:25:57,935 --> 01:26:00,981
A gladiator is to be rescued
from the arena.
773
01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:02,505
- Tonight.
- Mm.
774
01:26:02,679 --> 01:26:05,769
- I don't know why.
- I know why. I know who.
775
01:26:08,163 --> 01:26:09,207
Pack.
776
01:26:12,863 --> 01:26:14,386
Quickly.
777
01:26:42,327 --> 01:26:43,415
[man] Open up!
778
01:27:03,566 --> 01:27:05,524
Open for
the emperors' guard!
779
01:27:33,073 --> 01:27:36,512
My Lady, come with us.
780
01:28:21,905 --> 01:28:24,081
Thanks to the civic virtue
781
01:28:24,255 --> 01:28:26,823
of men like Thraex
and Macrinus,
782
01:28:28,128 --> 01:28:29,826
your insurrection
783
01:28:30,566 --> 01:28:32,481
has been revealed.
784
01:28:34,396 --> 01:28:35,701
The honor,
785
01:28:36,833 --> 01:28:40,663
the dignitas that Rome
has bestowed upon you...
786
01:28:43,187 --> 01:28:46,146
all this you have forfeited
by your treachery.
787
01:28:46,321 --> 01:28:48,279
Please, Emperor Geta.
788
01:28:48,975 --> 01:28:50,803
Torture me if you want,
789
01:28:51,761 --> 01:28:53,066
but do not lecture me.
790
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:56,635
Your name
will be forgotten!
791
01:28:57,767 --> 01:29:00,770
Lost... to history.
792
01:29:02,772 --> 01:29:04,077
You are damned,
General.
793
01:29:06,906 --> 01:29:08,821
- You laugh.
- You damn me?
794
01:29:09,996 --> 01:29:11,650
I don't care.
795
01:29:11,824 --> 01:29:15,219
Everything is forgotten in time.
Empires fall. So do emperors.
796
01:29:15,393 --> 01:29:17,047
Why wait?
797
01:29:17,221 --> 01:29:20,311
- I will gut him right now!
- No, no, no!
798
01:29:20,485 --> 01:29:23,706
Let them be. Come! Come!
799
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:25,621
His death must be public.
800
01:29:25,795 --> 01:29:27,231
Public?
801
01:29:27,405 --> 01:29:30,147
Hang his entrails
from the city gates!
802
01:29:30,321 --> 01:29:31,888
And crucify her!
803
01:29:32,628 --> 01:29:34,020
Crucify her!
804
01:29:34,194 --> 01:29:36,066
Take them away!
805
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,548
[Geta] Shh! Shh! Shh!
806
01:29:52,735 --> 01:29:53,866
Thank you, Macrinus.
807
01:30:00,220 --> 01:30:01,526
Come on.
808
01:30:05,008 --> 01:30:06,792
In these last days,
809
01:30:06,966 --> 01:30:10,100
I have come to think of you
not as a subject
810
01:30:10,274 --> 01:30:12,407
but as a true friend.
811
01:30:12,581 --> 01:30:14,191
Thank you.
812
01:30:14,365 --> 01:30:16,933
Thank you so much.
But as a friend,
813
01:30:17,107 --> 01:30:19,762
I must counsel caution.
814
01:30:19,936 --> 01:30:22,895
Acacius is a hero of Rome.
815
01:30:23,766 --> 01:30:27,160
Crucifixion
is for thieves.
816
01:30:27,334 --> 01:30:28,466
Christians.
817
01:30:29,641 --> 01:30:32,514
- It's too common.
- He is a traitor.
He must die.
818
01:30:32,688 --> 01:30:33,993
I agree.
819
01:30:34,167 --> 01:30:39,869
Let the gods decide
his fate in the Colosseum.
820
01:30:46,266 --> 01:30:47,877
Let the gods decide.
821
01:30:50,749 --> 01:30:54,710
You know, last night I woke,
dreaming of a dark river.
822
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:58,148
This time,
for the first time,
823
01:30:58,322 --> 01:30:59,802
I was crossing it.
824
01:31:00,629 --> 01:31:02,239
Hm.
825
01:31:02,413 --> 01:31:04,807
Well, you know,
where I come from,
826
01:31:04,981 --> 01:31:07,897
crossing a river,
it represents forgiveness.
827
01:31:08,071 --> 01:31:10,987
Represents... salvation.
828
01:31:11,161 --> 01:31:14,120
Where I come from,
it means
you're already dead.
829
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,001
But as I saw it,
I was not afraid.
830
01:31:26,742 --> 01:31:28,352
For...
831
01:31:28,526 --> 01:31:31,355
For someone was waiting
for me on the other side.
832
01:31:33,009 --> 01:31:34,706
There.
833
01:31:45,021 --> 01:31:46,501
Who is this man?
834
01:31:47,893 --> 01:31:49,329
Scratched out?
835
01:31:50,243 --> 01:31:52,289
Maximus.
836
01:31:55,074 --> 01:31:57,033
I saw him fight once.
837
01:31:58,121 --> 01:31:59,644
- He was magnificent.
- Mm.
838
01:31:59,818 --> 01:32:02,691
Yeah. My time in the arena,
it was after his,
839
01:32:02,865 --> 01:32:06,999
but many still talked of him
in whispers, you know?
840
01:32:07,173 --> 01:32:09,393
Spoke of him.
841
01:32:10,176 --> 01:32:11,830
What he did.
842
01:32:12,004 --> 01:32:13,876
I met him once.
843
01:32:15,704 --> 01:32:17,227
He was kind.
844
01:32:19,534 --> 01:32:21,405
He bowed to no one.
845
01:32:24,887 --> 01:32:26,453
Come with me.
846
01:32:26,628 --> 01:32:29,631
- Hmm?
- Come. With me.
847
01:32:48,780 --> 01:32:52,871
When a rebel gladiator dies,
we bury them here.
848
01:32:53,045 --> 01:32:57,441
"What we do in life
echoes in eternity."
849
01:33:15,154 --> 01:33:16,939
This is Argento.
850
01:33:17,113 --> 01:33:18,593
This is Scatto.
851
01:33:59,024 --> 01:34:00,635
Cheers.
852
01:34:01,331 --> 01:34:02,724
And stop.
853
01:34:04,421 --> 01:34:08,425
For his treason
against the lives
854
01:34:08,599 --> 01:34:12,559
of the emperors
and the Roman state,
855
01:34:12,734 --> 01:34:16,085
General Justus Acacius,
856
01:34:17,521 --> 01:34:20,437
an enemy of the people!
857
01:34:20,611 --> 01:34:23,005
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
858
01:34:23,179 --> 01:34:25,529
- We love you, Acacius!
- You are a hero!
859
01:34:26,835 --> 01:34:29,838
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
860
01:35:01,347 --> 01:35:03,959
Vae victis.[soldiers] General.
861
01:35:26,068 --> 01:35:27,983
Acacius!
862
01:35:29,245 --> 01:35:33,379
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!
863
01:35:39,429 --> 01:35:43,433
From the vanquished city
of Numidia,
864
01:35:44,651 --> 01:35:49,787
the victor of two conquests
in the Colosseum...
865
01:35:49,961 --> 01:35:52,485
Go now. Vae victis.
866
01:35:56,838 --> 01:35:59,579
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
867
01:35:59,754 --> 01:36:02,017
Hanno!
868
01:36:02,191 --> 01:36:04,933
Oh, Lord, any honor I have,
869
01:36:05,107 --> 01:36:06,717
- I will give it to you!
- It's too late.
870
01:36:06,891 --> 01:36:10,068
The Roman traitor or
871
01:36:10,242 --> 01:36:12,505
the barbarian hero.
872
01:36:13,289 --> 01:36:14,986
Let the gods decide.
873
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:16,814
Lucius... wait.
874
01:36:18,337 --> 01:36:19,469
Wait! Wait!
875
01:36:29,522 --> 01:36:32,264
I am a vessel.
876
01:36:33,613 --> 01:36:35,833
Fill me with vengeance
877
01:36:36,834 --> 01:36:39,054
and vanquish the betrayer.
878
01:36:56,898 --> 01:36:59,161
- We love you, Acacius!
- Move it!
879
01:37:03,295 --> 01:37:04,862
Pick it up!
880
01:37:05,036 --> 01:37:07,343
Bravo, Hanno!
881
01:37:07,517 --> 01:37:08,866
We love you, Acacius!
882
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:09,954
What are you waiting for?
883
01:37:10,128 --> 01:37:11,086
You will die!
884
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:43,422
I know who you are.
885
01:37:45,250 --> 01:37:47,252
Lucius Verus Aurelius.
886
01:38:00,613 --> 01:38:02,572
Acacius
has raised his hand!
887
01:38:03,616 --> 01:38:05,836
He has surrendered.
888
01:38:13,496 --> 01:38:15,454
Let the gods decide.
889
01:38:33,081 --> 01:38:35,910
The gods have rendered
their judgment.
890
01:38:39,043 --> 01:38:40,523
Do what you must.
891
01:38:41,654 --> 01:38:44,005
But on my death,
you have to know...
892
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:47,834
I love your mother,
Lucilla.
893
01:38:49,314 --> 01:38:50,663
And your father...
894
01:38:53,449 --> 01:38:54,450
Maximus.
895
01:38:55,799 --> 01:38:57,844
I would have died
for him.
896
01:38:58,019 --> 01:38:59,803
Kill him!
897
01:38:59,977 --> 01:39:02,675
Let him live!
Please!
898
01:39:03,807 --> 01:39:06,853
Live! Live! Live! Live!
899
01:39:13,817 --> 01:39:15,514
Kill him!
900
01:39:17,516 --> 01:39:18,343
[Geta] Kill him!
901
01:39:18,517 --> 01:39:19,692
Archers!
902
01:39:19,866 --> 01:39:21,651
No![Geta] Kill him!
903
01:39:21,825 --> 01:39:24,262
Acacius! Acacius!
904
01:39:24,436 --> 01:39:26,047
Kill him!
905
01:39:26,221 --> 01:39:27,570
Kill him!
906
01:39:27,744 --> 01:39:29,093
Kill him! Kill him!
907
01:39:31,356 --> 01:39:32,662
Acacius!
908
01:39:42,802 --> 01:39:43,803
No!
909
01:39:44,413 --> 01:39:45,849
No!
910
01:39:46,023 --> 01:39:47,633
Acacius!
911
01:39:50,201 --> 01:39:52,116
Damn you!
912
01:39:54,118 --> 01:39:55,990
Death will be
too good for you!
913
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,694
Is this how Rome
treats its heroes?
914
01:40:08,698 --> 01:40:10,178
Tell me!
915
01:40:12,354 --> 01:40:16,793
If his life has no value,
what are yours worth?
916
01:40:16,967 --> 01:40:21,928
The gods have spoken!
917
01:40:35,986 --> 01:40:39,598
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
918
01:40:55,092 --> 01:40:58,052
For our own safety,
we should return to the palace.
919
01:41:06,451 --> 01:41:09,628
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
920
01:41:19,377 --> 01:41:21,727
Stay back! Stay back!
921
01:42:09,993 --> 01:42:14,345
Arishat!
922
01:42:31,928 --> 01:42:33,451
We had a bargain.
923
01:42:37,151 --> 01:42:40,328
I gave him to you.
You let him live.
924
01:42:40,502 --> 01:42:42,112
And you got
what you wanted.
925
01:42:42,286 --> 01:42:44,810
I always get what I want.
Why did you let him live?
926
01:42:44,984 --> 01:42:47,813
You bought a gladiator,
not a slave.
927
01:42:49,554 --> 01:42:51,295
My will is my own.
928
01:42:53,558 --> 01:42:54,864
Ah...
929
01:42:55,038 --> 01:42:57,649
How blue is your blood?
930
01:42:57,823 --> 01:43:00,304
Perhaps the heart of a Roman
931
01:43:00,478 --> 01:43:02,698
beats in that chest.
932
01:43:08,399 --> 01:43:11,185
The greatest temple
Rome ever built.
933
01:43:11,359 --> 01:43:12,838
The Colosseum.
934
01:43:13,012 --> 01:43:15,232
Because this is
what they believe in.
935
01:43:15,406 --> 01:43:16,973
Power.
936
01:43:17,147 --> 01:43:19,758
They gather here to watch
the strong strike down the weak.
937
01:43:19,932 --> 01:43:21,717
There has to be
- something else.
- There is nothing else.
938
01:43:21,891 --> 01:43:24,633
There has to be
- another Rome.
- There is no other Rome.
939
01:43:26,156 --> 01:43:27,679
- The "dream"?
- Mm.
940
01:43:27,853 --> 01:43:29,681
The dream of Rome?
941
01:43:29,855 --> 01:43:31,335
It's an old man's fantasy.
942
01:43:33,163 --> 01:43:34,512
Who are you?
943
01:43:37,646 --> 01:43:40,605
What was your name
before you traded it
for a Roman one?
944
01:43:41,693 --> 01:43:43,129
You'll never know.
945
01:43:45,958 --> 01:43:47,525
I have a destiny.
946
01:43:51,050 --> 01:43:53,357
The gods delivered you to me.
947
01:43:56,404 --> 01:43:58,057
You will be my instrument.
948
01:43:58,232 --> 01:44:01,496
I will never be
your instrument,
in this life or the next.
949
01:44:09,808 --> 01:44:12,985
That will not be my destiny.
950
01:44:15,031 --> 01:44:16,598
But I will see your end.
951
01:44:37,706 --> 01:44:39,490
What else could I do?
952
01:44:39,664 --> 01:44:41,405
He and his bitch
were plotting to kill us.
953
01:44:41,579 --> 01:44:44,147
Don't you hear them?
They're calling for our heads!
954
01:44:44,321 --> 01:44:46,280
The Praetorians
will put down this crowd.
955
01:44:46,454 --> 01:44:48,107
- Like they have every other.
- You brought this on us.
956
01:44:48,282 --> 01:44:50,675
Filthy ape!
957
01:44:54,375 --> 01:44:57,029
Perhaps you should, uh,
958
01:44:57,203 --> 01:45:01,512
take Dondus elsewhere
to comfort him?
959
01:45:11,130 --> 01:45:13,350
Forgive
my brother's outburst.
960
01:45:15,309 --> 01:45:16,745
The disease
that infects his loins
961
01:45:16,919 --> 01:45:18,790
has spread to his brain.
962
01:45:18,964 --> 01:45:21,967
- Every day he gets worse.
- I will reason with him.
963
01:45:38,332 --> 01:45:41,378
I see you.
964
01:45:41,552 --> 01:45:43,554
I see you.
965
01:45:44,990 --> 01:45:47,079
Caracalla, Caracalla!
966
01:45:47,253 --> 01:45:48,820
Come on, stand up.
967
01:45:48,994 --> 01:45:50,996
Get up, get up.
Not you.
968
01:45:51,170 --> 01:45:52,911
All right,
there you go.
969
01:45:54,652 --> 01:45:56,915
Now, listen to me.
970
01:45:57,089 --> 01:45:58,569
What's the matter?
971
01:45:58,743 --> 01:46:01,311
Nothing's ever mine.
972
01:46:01,485 --> 01:46:03,748
Everything is ours, always.
973
01:46:03,922 --> 01:46:07,099
Even in the womb...
he tried...
974
01:46:07,970 --> 01:46:11,234
to cut my umbilicus
975
01:46:11,408 --> 01:46:13,149
so that I couldn't have
any more air.
976
01:46:13,323 --> 01:46:15,499
You remember that,
- do you?
- Certainly.
977
01:46:15,673 --> 01:46:17,936
- Come, sit.
- One cannot forget.
978
01:46:18,110 --> 01:46:20,243
My conscience compels me.
979
01:46:20,417 --> 01:46:21,766
What?
980
01:46:21,940 --> 01:46:23,072
Sit.
981
01:46:23,246 --> 01:46:24,595
Your brother
982
01:46:25,509 --> 01:46:26,989
means to blame you
983
01:46:28,033 --> 01:46:30,340
in front of
the entire Senate...
984
01:46:30,514 --> 01:46:31,820
But I did not do it!
985
01:46:31,994 --> 01:46:33,474
...for what's happening
in the streets.
986
01:46:33,648 --> 01:46:35,954
- The chaos!
- He's lying!
987
01:46:36,128 --> 01:46:37,869
No testimony
can be more damning
988
01:46:38,043 --> 01:46:41,395
than one brother
against another.
989
01:46:41,569 --> 01:46:44,136
That's a lie!
He always lies!
990
01:46:44,310 --> 01:46:46,704
He can be very persuasive.
991
01:46:46,878 --> 01:46:49,533
So?
What will they do to me?
992
01:46:49,707 --> 01:46:52,362
Oh, I don't dare imagine.
But imagine this:
993
01:46:52,536 --> 01:46:54,538
What will they do to Dondus?
994
01:46:57,715 --> 01:47:00,457
What will they do
995
01:47:00,631 --> 01:47:01,937
to Dondus?
996
01:47:04,374 --> 01:47:05,636
It's your decision.
997
01:47:43,500 --> 01:47:44,370
Brother.
998
01:47:48,026 --> 01:47:49,724
Put down the blade.
999
01:47:49,898 --> 01:47:50,942
You lie.
1000
01:47:51,116 --> 01:47:52,814
- Give it to me.
- You always lie!
1001
01:47:52,988 --> 01:47:53,858
Give it--
1002
01:47:57,862 --> 01:48:00,038
Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
1003
01:48:00,212 --> 01:48:02,519
- Lie!
- Listen to me.
Break the spell.
1004
01:48:02,693 --> 01:48:04,652
- Lie!
- Break the spell!
1005
01:48:04,826 --> 01:48:07,916
I've always protected you.
Because I love you.
1006
01:48:08,612 --> 01:48:10,614
Come back. Help me.
1007
01:48:33,289 --> 01:48:34,638
Lucius.
1008
01:48:56,442 --> 01:48:58,967
Never could have imagined
the fates would lead us here.
1009
01:49:01,186 --> 01:49:02,927
And yet here we are.
1010
01:49:04,668 --> 01:49:06,322
Everything has
brought us full circle.
1011
01:49:06,496 --> 01:49:09,499
You sent me away
and yet fate
1012
01:49:09,673 --> 01:49:12,110
brought me back
to the very ground
where he died.
1013
01:49:15,157 --> 01:49:16,114
This ring...
1014
01:49:18,029 --> 01:49:19,683
belonged to my father.
1015
01:49:23,818 --> 01:49:26,777
He gave it
to your father,
Maximus,
1016
01:49:26,951 --> 01:49:28,779
as a token of trust.
1017
01:49:30,215 --> 01:49:33,175
I gave it to Acacius
for his valor.
1018
01:49:37,701 --> 01:49:39,877
This ring belonged to my wife.
1019
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,360
I shall wear it next to yours.
1020
01:49:58,635 --> 01:50:01,072
I am truly sorry for Acacius.
1021
01:50:02,421 --> 01:50:05,076
I could not see the man.
1022
01:50:07,426 --> 01:50:09,254
He was a soldier of Rome.
1023
01:50:11,256 --> 01:50:12,606
There was a plan.
1024
01:50:13,911 --> 01:50:15,217
He was readying troops
at Ostia
1025
01:50:15,391 --> 01:50:18,350
under the command
of Darius Sextus.
1026
01:50:18,524 --> 01:50:21,527
Troops he was to lead
against the emperors.
1027
01:50:23,617 --> 01:50:27,925
Acacius. Maximus.
Marcus Aurelius.
1028
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:31,450
They lived and died
for Rome.
1029
01:50:32,190 --> 01:50:33,627
We all do.
1030
01:50:35,716 --> 01:50:38,022
Is it true
they intend to kill you?
1031
01:50:41,069 --> 01:50:42,984
One man or another
has had a sword
against my neck
1032
01:50:43,158 --> 01:50:45,464
since the day
my father died.
1033
01:50:48,729 --> 01:50:50,644
But now
that I've found you,
1034
01:50:51,514 --> 01:50:53,298
it doesn't matter.
1035
01:50:54,691 --> 01:50:56,388
I am not afraid.
1036
01:50:56,562 --> 01:50:59,609
I've become well versed
in losing the things
that I love.
1037
01:51:02,481 --> 01:51:03,657
But now that I've found you,
1038
01:51:03,831 --> 01:51:05,484
I have no desire
to lose you again.
1039
01:51:08,662 --> 01:51:10,838
- You stand like him.
- Mm.
1040
01:51:11,621 --> 01:51:12,970
Alert.
1041
01:51:13,884 --> 01:51:14,972
Proud.
1042
01:51:17,235 --> 01:51:19,760
I do not have his strength.
1043
01:51:20,717 --> 01:51:22,806
I wish that were true.
1044
01:51:24,242 --> 01:51:27,289
I wish I were telling you
to flee this place.
1045
01:51:36,167 --> 01:51:37,255
Go now.
1046
01:51:45,568 --> 01:51:46,700
Strength and honor.
1047
01:51:49,267 --> 01:51:50,878
Strength and honor.
1048
01:52:03,586 --> 01:52:05,588
As Emperor,
1049
01:52:05,762 --> 01:52:07,372
I have convened
1050
01:52:08,373 --> 01:52:11,550
the Senate to appoint
my First Consul
1051
01:52:11,725 --> 01:52:14,945
and bestow upon him the power
to administer the military
1052
01:52:15,119 --> 01:52:18,340
and civic functions
of the Empire.
1053
01:52:22,213 --> 01:52:23,562
I name...
1054
01:52:24,694 --> 01:52:27,088
Citizen Dondus!
1055
01:52:34,138 --> 01:52:35,749
Hail Dondus!
1056
01:52:39,230 --> 01:52:40,710
Hail Dondus!
1057
01:52:42,756 --> 01:52:45,323
- Hail Dondus.
- Hail Dondus!
1058
01:52:45,497 --> 01:52:47,978
Hail Dondus!
1059
01:52:52,243 --> 01:52:54,071
As Second Consul...
1060
01:52:56,030 --> 01:52:57,509
I name...
1061
01:52:59,903 --> 01:53:01,165
Citizen...
1062
01:53:03,472 --> 01:53:04,865
Macrinus!
1063
01:53:07,302 --> 01:53:08,912
Hail Macrinus!
1064
01:53:09,086 --> 01:53:10,479
Hail Macrinus!
1065
01:53:10,653 --> 01:53:12,568
Hail Macrinus!
1066
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:16,920
There will be
a triumphal parade
to celebrate.
1067
01:53:17,094 --> 01:53:18,617
There will be games
1068
01:53:19,401 --> 01:53:21,272
and mass executions.
1069
01:53:24,536 --> 01:53:27,191
Long live the Empire!
1070
01:53:28,802 --> 01:53:30,499
Long live the Empire!
1071
01:53:30,673 --> 01:53:32,283
Long live the Empire!
1072
01:53:38,681 --> 01:53:39,856
Sit down.
1073
01:53:43,294 --> 01:53:45,949
I happen to have...
1074
01:53:49,561 --> 01:53:53,217
with good fortune
and not a little skill...
1075
01:53:54,958 --> 01:53:58,092
the remaining emperor's ear.
1076
01:54:05,316 --> 01:54:07,579
I can speak logic to it...
1077
01:54:12,367 --> 01:54:14,848
and tame the madness
in the street. But...
1078
01:54:17,807 --> 01:54:19,417
to restore order...
1079
01:54:21,506 --> 01:54:23,334
I must have power...
1080
01:54:27,077 --> 01:54:29,079
and command
1081
01:54:29,819 --> 01:54:31,777
over the Praetorian Army.
1082
01:54:37,653 --> 01:54:39,394
Ballot...
1083
01:54:41,570 --> 01:54:42,919
or hand?
1084
01:54:45,095 --> 01:54:47,619
Aye![all] Aye!
1085
01:54:50,927 --> 01:54:52,537
Your humble servant.
1086
01:54:56,672 --> 01:54:58,195
Put your hands down.
1087
01:55:00,894 --> 01:55:02,373
You can sit down.
1088
01:55:15,952 --> 01:55:17,562
Rome must fall.
1089
01:55:20,304 --> 01:55:22,306
I need only
give it a push.
1090
01:55:25,396 --> 01:55:27,572
And after Rome falls...
1091
01:55:28,530 --> 01:55:30,924
...what then?
1092
01:55:33,056 --> 01:55:35,058
You are
your father's child.
1093
01:55:37,104 --> 01:55:40,498
His dream of Rome
was never a dream.
1094
01:55:40,672 --> 01:55:42,587
It was a fiction.
1095
01:55:42,761 --> 01:55:45,025
"The best revenge is
1096
01:55:45,199 --> 01:55:48,985
to become unlike the one
who did the injury."
1097
01:55:49,159 --> 01:55:54,034
I have made myself
unlike your father.
1098
01:55:54,208 --> 01:55:57,689
He spoke of dreams,
I speak of truth.
1099
01:55:57,863 --> 01:56:00,257
And the only truth
in my Rome
1100
01:56:01,867 --> 01:56:03,869
is the law
of the strongest.
1101
01:56:06,176 --> 01:56:07,525
I was owned
1102
01:56:09,005 --> 01:56:10,528
by an emperor.
1103
01:56:13,531 --> 01:56:15,620
Now I control an empire.
1104
01:56:16,708 --> 01:56:19,973
Where else but in Rome
can a man do that?
1105
01:56:25,282 --> 01:56:29,765
Do you recognize
your father's mark on me?
1106
01:56:34,596 --> 01:56:35,901
If there is anything
1107
01:56:36,598 --> 01:56:37,991
you need...
1108
01:56:39,731 --> 01:56:41,385
in these last hours,
1109
01:56:42,386 --> 01:56:44,040
we will provide.
1110
01:56:49,785 --> 01:56:52,483
Your death will clear my path
to the throne.
1111
01:56:54,398 --> 01:56:57,314
Tomorrow
there will be games.
1112
01:56:57,488 --> 01:56:59,055
And at them...
1113
01:56:59,969 --> 01:57:01,666
I will prevail.
1114
01:57:15,332 --> 01:57:16,812
Ravi!
1115
01:57:23,427 --> 01:57:25,603
Can you get me a message
to Ostia by morning?
1116
01:57:25,777 --> 01:57:27,431
What is in Ostia?
1117
01:57:27,605 --> 01:57:29,042
There is an army.
1118
01:57:31,305 --> 01:57:32,915
I'm asking you
to risk yourself, my friend,
1119
01:57:33,089 --> 01:57:35,178
in the service
of something greater.
1120
01:57:38,094 --> 01:57:39,487
Ride to Ostia.
1121
01:57:40,792 --> 01:57:42,794
Take this ring
to General Darius Sextus.
1122
01:57:42,968 --> 01:57:44,361
Are you listening?
1123
01:57:45,014 --> 01:57:47,625
Darius Sextus.
1124
01:57:47,799 --> 01:57:49,801
He will know it
as Acacius's ring.
1125
01:57:52,761 --> 01:57:54,893
And, uh,
1126
01:57:55,807 --> 01:57:57,157
who shall I say has
1127
01:57:57,853 --> 01:57:59,507
sent me with this ring?
1128
01:58:02,901 --> 01:58:05,208
I am Lucius Verus Aurelius.
1129
01:58:06,470 --> 01:58:07,993
The Prince of Rome.
1130
01:58:09,212 --> 01:58:10,648
Tell him
I am summoning the army
1131
01:58:10,822 --> 01:58:13,086
to the defense
of a new Republic.
1132
01:58:21,746 --> 01:58:22,878
- Should I trust you?
- Yes.
1133
01:58:23,052 --> 01:58:25,098
Should I?Yes.
1134
01:58:32,017 --> 01:58:34,716
Ravi! I need your keys.
1135
01:58:40,809 --> 01:58:42,506
Thank you.
1136
01:59:20,370 --> 01:59:22,807
Stop! Come back!
1137
01:59:53,577 --> 01:59:54,709
Who gave you this?
1138
01:59:55,710 --> 01:59:57,842
Lucius Verus Aurelius.
1139
01:59:59,061 --> 02:00:00,280
The Prince of Rome.
1140
02:00:53,463 --> 02:00:56,510
Must we kill Lucilla?
1141
02:00:58,163 --> 02:01:01,906
Until she dies,
you will never know peace.
1142
02:01:03,778 --> 02:01:04,822
Ever.
1143
02:01:15,746 --> 02:01:18,271
The people love her.
Her death will incite the mob.
1144
02:01:18,445 --> 02:01:20,925
If she dies and the streets
rise up in anger,
1145
02:01:21,099 --> 02:01:22,492
I shall deliver them
Caracalla's head
1146
02:01:22,666 --> 02:01:24,015
and the people
shall acclaim me.
1147
02:01:24,189 --> 02:01:27,758
That, my friend,
is politics.
1148
02:01:30,587 --> 02:01:32,415
- Shall we?
- Yes.
1149
02:01:47,691 --> 02:01:49,780
Today will be
your last fight, champion.
1150
02:01:50,912 --> 02:01:52,522
And our master
has bestowed on you...
1151
02:01:54,916 --> 02:01:57,310
the wooden sword of freedom.
1152
02:02:01,314 --> 02:02:03,272
But you have to
earn it first.
1153
02:02:03,446 --> 02:02:05,753
Today, you're gonna
defend your mother.
1154
02:02:28,689 --> 02:02:31,518
Wood or steel,
a point is still a point!
1155
02:02:58,806 --> 02:03:00,329
Wait for me.
1156
02:03:19,130 --> 02:03:20,828
In honor
1157
02:03:21,002 --> 02:03:25,267
of the acclamation
of Emperor Caracalla,
1158
02:03:25,441 --> 02:03:31,316
First Consul Dondus
and Second Consul Macrinus,
1159
02:03:31,491 --> 02:03:35,973
and as punishment
for her conspiracy
against the empire,
1160
02:03:36,147 --> 02:03:40,500
for her calumnies against
the emperor's imperial bloodline
1161
02:03:40,674 --> 02:03:42,850
and for fomenting
military mutiny
1162
02:03:43,024 --> 02:03:44,417
along with her husband,
1163
02:03:44,591 --> 02:03:48,203
the queen will face
divine justice
1164
02:03:48,377 --> 02:03:52,425
at the hands
of the Praetorian Guard.
1165
02:04:16,927 --> 02:04:18,451
I am not a general.
1166
02:04:20,148 --> 02:04:23,630
But we are all soldiers.
1167
02:04:25,632 --> 02:04:27,372
And up until now,
1168
02:04:27,547 --> 02:04:31,725
we have fought for nothing more
than another day's survival.
1169
02:04:31,899 --> 02:04:33,727
What will you
have us do?
1170
02:04:35,076 --> 02:04:36,251
Well, you can return
to your cells
1171
02:04:36,425 --> 02:04:38,340
if you do not wish
to fight this battle.
1172
02:04:38,514 --> 02:04:40,821
Or...
1173
02:04:42,562 --> 02:04:43,911
you can join me.
1174
02:04:45,216 --> 02:04:47,523
And fight for a freedom
far beyond these walls.
1175
02:04:47,697 --> 02:04:49,220
Aye!
1176
02:04:49,394 --> 02:04:53,529
There once was a time when
honor meant something in Rome.
1177
02:04:55,226 --> 02:04:56,750
In this Rome
1178
02:04:57,664 --> 02:04:59,753
I no longer believe
that exists.
1179
02:04:59,927 --> 02:05:01,842
We must find it!
1180
02:05:04,192 --> 02:05:05,846
And know this:
1181
02:05:07,195 --> 02:05:10,938
Where death is, we are not.
1182
02:05:12,940 --> 02:05:14,855
Where we are,
1183
02:05:15,595 --> 02:05:17,335
death is not!
1184
02:05:20,338 --> 02:05:21,601
By my sword.
1185
02:05:23,516 --> 02:05:25,213
Strength and honor.
1186
02:05:25,387 --> 02:05:27,215
Strength and honor!
1187
02:05:27,389 --> 02:05:28,999
Strength and honor!
1188
02:05:29,173 --> 02:05:31,001
Strength and honor!
1189
02:05:55,722 --> 02:05:57,767
Let it not be said
1190
02:05:57,941 --> 02:06:00,988
that the emperor
is not merciful.
1191
02:06:01,162 --> 02:06:06,602
The queen will be granted
a single gladiator
1192
02:06:06,776 --> 02:06:10,432
to defend her against
the Praetorian Guard.
1193
02:06:20,485 --> 02:06:24,402
The champion, Hanno!
1194
02:06:28,363 --> 02:06:31,845
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!
1195
02:07:37,475 --> 02:07:39,216
Yes!
1196
02:07:43,438 --> 02:07:45,266
Summon the cavalry.
Put this down at once.
1197
02:07:46,789 --> 02:07:49,183
This is war! Real war!
1198
02:07:54,188 --> 02:07:57,539
The army of Acacius
is advancing
just outside of Rome, sir.
1199
02:08:00,194 --> 02:08:01,586
We can still
outflank them.
1200
02:08:01,761 --> 02:08:04,067
They have only
5,000 troops, no more.
1201
02:08:05,416 --> 02:08:06,853
How many are we?
1202
02:08:07,027 --> 02:08:08,332
Six thousand.
Perhaps more.
1203
02:08:08,506 --> 02:08:10,073
Ride to the gate
and hold them.
1204
02:09:01,908 --> 02:09:02,952
Filthy scum!
1205
02:09:16,836 --> 02:09:18,359
Lucius!
1206
02:09:20,143 --> 02:09:21,188
Give me the bow.
1207
02:09:44,994 --> 02:09:47,431
Go, my son. Lucius--
1208
02:09:47,605 --> 02:09:48,650
Shh-sh-sh-sh...
1209
02:09:48,824 --> 02:09:50,217
Horse!
1210
02:11:23,005 --> 02:11:25,051
Will nothing
kill this barbarian?
1211
02:11:25,225 --> 02:11:27,705
My name is
Lucius Verus Aurelius!
1212
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:30,143
A man does not become
emperor by bloodline alone.
1213
02:11:30,317 --> 02:11:32,972
It must be taken by force
and kept by force.
1214
02:11:33,146 --> 02:11:34,930
Are you such a man
as this?
1215
02:11:35,104 --> 02:11:36,453
I don't fight for power.
1216
02:11:36,627 --> 02:11:39,282
I fight to free Rome
from men like you
1217
02:11:39,456 --> 02:11:40,893
and to return it to them.
1218
02:11:41,067 --> 02:11:43,808
The gods themselves
want Rome reborn.
1219
02:11:43,983 --> 02:11:46,855
They sent me...
to fulfill that task.
1220
02:11:47,029 --> 02:11:50,467
And what if your gods
sent me here to kill you?
1221
02:11:50,641 --> 02:11:51,686
Huh?
1222
02:11:52,861 --> 02:11:55,037
It's time to end this, Macrinus!
1223
02:12:31,117 --> 02:12:33,336
Hah!
1224
02:13:03,236 --> 02:13:04,715
Strength and honor,
1225
02:13:05,325 --> 02:13:06,848
my son.
1226
02:14:40,202 --> 02:14:41,943
You look to me to speak.
1227
02:14:44,163 --> 02:14:45,773
I know not what
to say other than
1228
02:14:45,947 --> 02:14:47,949
we have all known
too much death.
1229
02:14:49,211 --> 02:14:52,693
Let no more blood be spilt
in the name of tyranny.
1230
02:14:56,653 --> 02:14:59,134
My grandfather,
Marcus Aurelius,
1231
02:14:59,308 --> 02:15:02,094
talked of a dream
that would be Rome.
1232
02:15:03,138 --> 02:15:05,053
A dream that my father,
1233
02:15:06,272 --> 02:15:09,013
Maximus Decimus Meridius,
1234
02:15:09,188 --> 02:15:10,711
died for.
1235
02:15:11,929 --> 02:15:13,540
An ideal.
1236
02:15:16,325 --> 02:15:20,590
A city for the many
and a refuge
for those in need.
1237
02:15:20,764 --> 02:15:23,245
A home worth fighting for.
1238
02:15:24,377 --> 02:15:28,642
A home that Maximus
spent his life defending.
1239
02:15:30,731 --> 02:15:32,559
That dream is lost.
1240
02:15:38,521 --> 02:15:40,132
But dare we...
1241
02:15:41,698 --> 02:15:44,310
rebuild that dream
together?
1242
02:15:56,235 --> 02:15:58,019
What say you?
1243
02:16:04,373 --> 02:16:06,201
Aye!
1244
02:16:07,376 --> 02:16:08,682
Aye!
1245
02:16:09,422 --> 02:16:10,597
Aye!
1246
02:16:10,771 --> 02:16:15,123
Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!
1247
02:17:19,796 --> 02:17:21,015
Mother.
1248
02:18:13,589 --> 02:18:15,765
Speak to me, Father.
