that your dominion
may eclipse that

188

192
00:24:02,963 --> 00:24:04,530
[monkey hooting softly]

193
00:24:06,836 --> 00:24:08,708
[Geta] In honor
of your conquest,

194
00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:11,798
there will be games
in the Colosseum.

195
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:15,584
I require no games
in my honor.

196
00:24:15,758 --> 00:24:19,196
Serving the Senate
and the people of Rome

197
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:21,024
is honor enough for me.

198
00:24:21,198 --> 00:24:23,897
You are too modest,
Acacius.

199
00:24:24,071 --> 00:24:27,161
It does not suit a general
as accomplished as yourself.

200
00:24:29,424 --> 00:24:32,166
The glory is yours,
not mine.

201
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:35,343
I only ask for
some respite from war

202
00:24:35,517 --> 00:24:36,953
to spend time
with my wife.

203
00:24:37,127 --> 00:24:39,478
Your wife, yes. [sniffs]

204
00:24:39,652 --> 00:24:41,218
Remember the privileges
we have granted her?

205
00:24:41,392 --> 00:24:42,698
[sword scraping]

206
00:24:42,872 --> 00:24:44,874
Where is she now
to ignore such an occasion?

207
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:47,703
There are victories
yet still to come.

208
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,880
Persia.

209
00:24:52,273 --> 00:24:53,143
India.

210
00:24:53,317 --> 00:24:54,405
[chuckles]

211
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:58,018
Both... must be conquered.

212
00:24:59,976 --> 00:25:02,457
Rome has so many subjects.

213
00:25:02,631 --> 00:25:04,503
She must feed them.

214
00:25:05,765 --> 00:25:07,984
They can eat war.
[laughs]

215
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:13,990
Your triumphs
will be celebrated

216
00:25:14,861 --> 00:25:17,254
as a tribute
to the greatness

217
00:25:18,038 --> 00:25:19,343
of the Roman people.

218
00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:29,789
[men shouting][horses whinnying]

219
00:25:41,714 --> 00:25:42,758
[man] Go to hell!

220
00:25:43,454 --> 00:25:45,935
[people jeering]

221
00:25:57,773 --> 00:25:59,514
[piercing animal shrieks]

222
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,690
[men shouting]

223
00:26:02,996 --> 00:26:05,346
[announcer]
Macrinus of Thysdrus,

224
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,609
master of gladiators![horn playing fanfare]

225
00:26:07,783 --> 00:26:10,133
[crowd roars]

226
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:12,440
[animal screeching nearby]

227
00:26:21,797 --> 00:26:25,018
[animal snarling]

228
00:26:26,933 --> 00:26:30,023
[screeching continues][loud thumping]

229
00:26:30,197 --> 00:26:32,025
Stay close.

230
00:26:32,199 --> 00:26:34,375
[snarling, thumping continue][chains rattling]

231
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:36,159
[door thudding]

232
00:26:41,034 --> 00:26:43,602
[crowd roaring]

233
00:26:45,429 --> 00:26:48,302
[shouting, jeering]

234
00:26:48,476 --> 00:26:52,219
[announcer] Aediles
and the town councilors,

235
00:26:52,959 --> 00:26:55,526
distinguished guests,

236
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,486
citizens of Antium,

237
00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:00,662
[jeering continues]

238
00:27:02,229 --> 00:27:04,579
behold the fate

239
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:08,539
of the conquered enemies
of Rome:

240
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:14,633
The barbarian Numidians
and their chieftain,

241
00:27:15,459 --> 00:27:18,288
Jugurtha!

242
00:27:18,462 --> 00:27:20,160
[loud thudding]

243
00:27:20,334 --> 00:27:22,031
[snarling][teeth snapping]

244
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:44,532
[man shouting,
indistinct]

245
00:27:46,621 --> 00:27:49,102
[blows][baboon shrieks]

246
00:27:52,540 --> 00:27:53,933
[screeches]

247
00:27:56,979 --> 00:27:58,328
[yells]

248
00:28:06,293 --> 00:28:07,816
[screeches][Hanno yells]

249
00:28:14,257 --> 00:28:16,042
[growling]

250
00:28:19,045 --> 00:28:21,047
[guttural hooting]

251
00:28:35,104 --> 00:28:37,672
[screeching in agony]

252
00:28:38,629 --> 00:28:39,892
This one is interesting.

253
00:28:40,066 --> 00:28:41,328
[all cheering]

254
00:28:41,981 --> 00:28:43,809
[grunts]

255
00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:46,159
[spits]

256
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:51,251
[yelling]

257
00:29:02,784 --> 00:29:05,308
[baboon choking]

258
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:08,137
I'll buy him.

259
00:29:08,311 --> 00:29:10,531
[crowd chanting]

260
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:32,379
[horse approaching]
Halt! Who goes there?

261
00:29:33,946 --> 00:29:35,164
General.

262
00:29:56,969 --> 00:29:59,406
[woman murmuring softly]

263
00:30:10,678 --> 00:30:12,245
My lady.

264
00:30:20,514 --> 00:30:22,821
I thank the gods
that brought you back home safe.

265
00:30:22,995 --> 00:30:25,998
Thank the Army.
They protected me.

266
00:30:27,782 --> 00:30:28,914
Mm.

267
00:30:30,002 --> 00:30:31,655
Let me feed you.

268
00:30:39,054 --> 00:30:41,404
[indistinct chatter]

269
00:30:41,578 --> 00:30:44,581
[men grunting][weapons clashing]

270
00:30:59,379 --> 00:31:00,380
[trainer] Go.

271
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,469
To the wall.

272
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:15,569
[trainer] The arena
is a sacred temple.

273
00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:17,310
For the bravest of you,

274
00:31:17,484 --> 00:31:20,269
the road to glory
runs through the arena.

275
00:31:20,443 --> 00:31:22,402
The arena turns slaves
into gladiators

276
00:31:22,576 --> 00:31:24,404
and gladiators into free men.

277
00:31:31,715 --> 00:31:33,239
You have worms.

278
00:31:37,243 --> 00:31:40,507
I know this one.
He eats monkeys.

279
00:31:40,681 --> 00:31:42,988
[men laughing]

280
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:47,906
[indistinct chatter]

281
00:31:54,782 --> 00:31:57,045
[trainer] Go. Sit. Eat.

282
00:32:11,581 --> 00:32:13,583
[groans softly]

283
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:25,117
[man hoots quietly]

284
00:32:26,814 --> 00:32:28,859
[men hooting]

285
00:32:30,905 --> 00:32:32,907
[men mimicking baboons]

286
00:32:37,912 --> 00:32:40,001
[hooting continues, louder]

287
00:32:47,574 --> 00:32:48,967
[chuckles]

288
00:32:57,714 --> 00:32:58,759
You.

289
00:33:00,195 --> 00:33:02,545
[trainer]
Hanno, get up.

290
00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:12,599
What is
your native language?
I speak them all.

291
00:33:16,255 --> 00:33:19,388
You don't answer because
you can't or because you won't?

292
00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:22,739
Mm, all right.

293
00:33:22,913 --> 00:33:26,613
Violence...
is the universal language.

294
00:33:26,787 --> 00:33:29,398
Viggo,
put him through his paces.

295
00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:33,359
He can fight an ape.
Let's see if he
can fight a man.

296
00:33:43,238 --> 00:33:45,023
[grunts]

297
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:47,634
[Hanno groans]

298
00:33:55,903 --> 00:33:57,600
[Hanno exhales heavily]

299
00:34:04,129 --> 00:34:06,609
[both grunting]

300
00:34:20,841 --> 00:34:22,712
[groans heavily]

301
00:34:22,886 --> 00:34:24,671
[chuckling]

302
00:34:38,163 --> 00:34:39,425
[explosive grunt]

303
00:34:43,255 --> 00:34:44,343
[Macrinus]
Enough!

304
00:34:45,648 --> 00:34:48,347
[panting]

305
00:34:48,912 --> 00:34:50,088
Very good.

306
00:34:51,611 --> 00:34:52,960
Very good.

307
00:34:55,005 --> 00:34:56,355
Hose him down.

308
00:35:00,185 --> 00:35:01,577
Bring him to me.

309
00:35:05,233 --> 00:35:06,321
[grunts]

310
00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:09,890
Ah!

311
00:35:12,849 --> 00:35:14,547
A strong jaw.

312
00:35:16,375 --> 00:35:17,724
Good arms.

313
00:35:17,898 --> 00:35:19,204
[sniffs]

314
00:35:19,378 --> 00:35:20,596
Better smell.

315
00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:22,685
[chuckles lightly]

316
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:25,210
You will do well.

317
00:35:26,036 --> 00:35:27,821
It is an art,

318
00:35:27,995 --> 00:35:29,823
choosing gladiators.

319
00:35:31,303 --> 00:35:33,479
Some choose entertainers.

320
00:35:33,653 --> 00:35:35,611
Some choose brute force.

321
00:35:35,785 --> 00:35:37,222
I choose rage.

322
00:35:38,005 --> 00:35:39,572
[Macrinus chuckles]

323
00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:43,228
Crowd loves blood.

324
00:35:43,402 --> 00:35:45,055
And they love those who
love blood as much as they do.

325
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:47,623
And you, my friend, rage

326
00:35:48,407 --> 00:35:50,583
pours out of you like...

327
00:35:52,062 --> 00:35:53,586
like milk...

328
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,502
from a whore's tit.

329
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:59,244
You will be
quite the fighter.

330
00:35:59,418 --> 00:36:00,897
Not for you.

331
00:36:01,071 --> 00:36:03,073
You're right,
you do not fight for me.

332
00:36:03,248 --> 00:36:05,511
I put you in the ring,
you fight or you die.

333
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:06,773
The choice is yours.

334
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:09,819
But whose head
could I give you

335
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:13,519
that would satisfy this fury?

336
00:36:13,693 --> 00:36:15,521
The entire Roman Army's.

337
00:36:15,695 --> 00:36:17,697
[hearty laugh]

338
00:36:19,089 --> 00:36:20,134
Too much.

339
00:36:20,308 --> 00:36:21,831
Mm.

340
00:36:22,005 --> 00:36:24,007
The general will do.

341
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,095
General?

342
00:36:26,532 --> 00:36:28,447
- General Acacius?
- Mm.

343
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,321
Use your rage
in my service,

344
00:36:33,495 --> 00:36:37,238
and you will have his head
ready for your sword.

345
00:36:38,544 --> 00:36:41,547
Serve me and I will serve you.
Deny me...

346
00:36:42,939 --> 00:36:45,420
and you will die.

347
00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:47,422
[thunder rumbles
in distance]

348
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:50,164
There are times I wished
you'd abandoned me

349
00:36:50,338 --> 00:36:52,035
rather than
fight their wars.

350
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,168
I've made my choice.

351
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:58,085
I can live with it.

352
00:37:02,263 --> 00:37:05,135
But my patience with those two
is at an end.

353
00:37:07,964 --> 00:37:10,097
Leta?

354
00:37:10,271 --> 00:37:13,709
You may go
to your quarters now.
We need nothing more.

355
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:22,457
To hear wives and mothers
mourning their dead

356
00:37:22,631 --> 00:37:24,285
on that beach at Numidia...

357
00:37:26,853 --> 00:37:28,463
Lucilla.

358
00:37:33,642 --> 00:37:35,078
No more.

359
00:37:37,516 --> 00:37:39,561
I will not waste

360
00:37:39,735 --> 00:37:43,217
another generation
of young men for their vanity.

361
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,962
If I fight another campaign,
it must be to depose them.

362
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,966
When will your troops
arrive?

363
00:37:53,836 --> 00:37:56,099
They land at Ostia
in ten days.

364
00:37:56,274 --> 00:38:00,190
How many of them will be
loyal to you alone?

365
00:38:01,888 --> 00:38:03,237
All of them.

366
00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:08,895
The emperors do not have
the support of the people.

367
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:13,726
The people are weary
of the madness, the tyranny.

368
00:38:15,162 --> 00:38:16,685
[sighs]

369
00:38:16,859 --> 00:38:20,863
What is the dream of Rome
if her people are not free?

370
00:38:22,082 --> 00:38:23,562
[chuckles softly]

371
00:38:27,174 --> 00:38:28,784
[whimpers]

372
00:38:31,004 --> 00:38:33,789
[excited chatter]

373
00:38:39,882 --> 00:38:41,667
[laughing]

374
00:38:43,364 --> 00:38:45,714
[man] Enjoy yourself,
everyone,

375
00:38:45,888 --> 00:38:47,803
to excess!

376
00:38:47,977 --> 00:38:50,850
Thank you. Thank you.

377
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:54,027
[castrato singing
to lively music]

378
00:39:02,862 --> 00:39:04,124
Oh!

379
00:39:04,907 --> 00:39:07,910
[laughs] Please, drink.

380
00:39:08,084 --> 00:39:10,870
Ah! Excuse me. Macrinus!

381
00:39:12,262 --> 00:39:14,830
I knew the provinces
were not enough for you.

382
00:39:15,004 --> 00:39:18,094
I'm just here
- for the games.
- Ah, well,

383
00:39:18,268 --> 00:39:19,792
you won't be disappointed.

384
00:39:19,966 --> 00:39:23,099
Rome has all the games
that men like you like to play.

385
00:39:23,273 --> 00:39:25,450
Men like me, Thraex?
Men like us.

386
00:39:25,624 --> 00:39:29,018
I know nothing happens
in Rome unless you've
tasted it first.

387
00:39:29,192 --> 00:39:30,803
[both laughing]

388
00:39:45,687 --> 00:39:47,167
What is my purpose here?

389
00:39:47,341 --> 00:39:48,690
You'll find out soon enough.

390
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,480
What's this we hear
about you being interested

391
00:39:55,654 --> 00:39:59,266
in standing for election
to the Senate, Macrinus?

392
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,877
Me? No, I'm, uh...

393
00:40:02,051 --> 00:40:04,445
I don't even know how
to use an abacus.

394
00:40:04,619 --> 00:40:06,316
But I do understand that

395
00:40:07,622 --> 00:40:08,841
it's customary
for your guests

396
00:40:09,015 --> 00:40:11,539
to make wagers
at these affairs?

397
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:13,889
How large a sum
did you have in mind?

398
00:40:15,543 --> 00:40:16,936
A thousand gold denarii?

399
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:18,416
Two.

400
00:40:20,374 --> 00:40:21,549
Two?

401
00:40:23,551 --> 00:40:25,771
Denarii.[chuckles]

402
00:40:28,991 --> 00:40:29,949
[sighs deeply]

403
00:40:30,123 --> 00:40:32,125
[knife scraping]

404
00:40:41,743 --> 00:40:44,442
Stand back! Stand back!

405
00:40:46,139 --> 00:40:47,532
My emperors.

406
00:40:47,706 --> 00:40:51,666
Lords, ladies and gentlemen,
and senators.

407
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,103
For your entertainment,

408
00:40:54,843 --> 00:40:57,106
the art of combat!

409
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,108
[crowd murmurs, clapping]

410
00:40:59,282 --> 00:41:00,936
[Thraex] May I present

411
00:41:01,110 --> 00:41:03,112
the barbarian versus,

412
00:41:03,286 --> 00:41:07,334
from my own stable,
the mighty Vichek!

413
00:41:07,508 --> 00:41:09,467
[applause, cheers]

414
00:41:14,646 --> 00:41:17,213
- This is your gladiator?
- It is.

415
00:41:20,695 --> 00:41:23,176
[Thraex] Three rounds,
hand to hand.

416
00:41:23,350 --> 00:41:24,917
Swords!

417
00:41:25,091 --> 00:41:28,311
We want swords.
A fight to the death.

418
00:41:29,704 --> 00:41:32,577
No quarter to be offered...
or given.

419
00:41:32,751 --> 00:41:34,796
Fight now![swords scraping]

420
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,411
Brother,

421
00:41:42,587 --> 00:41:44,240
let's not kill each other
for their amusement.

422
00:41:44,414 --> 00:41:45,720
[Vichek yells, grunts]

423
00:41:45,894 --> 00:41:48,244
[excited murmuring]

424
00:41:48,418 --> 00:41:50,159
[both yell, grunt]

425
00:41:59,778 --> 00:42:00,779
[cackling]

426
00:42:00,953 --> 00:42:03,390
[both yelling]

427
00:42:16,403 --> 00:42:18,100
[Vichek panting]

428
00:42:20,668 --> 00:42:22,540
[yells]

429
00:42:25,238 --> 00:42:27,066
[sword clattering]

430
00:42:28,502 --> 00:42:29,982
[scattered cheers, applause]

431
00:42:35,422 --> 00:42:37,119
[Hanno groans]

432
00:42:44,997 --> 00:42:47,303
[scattered cheers]

433
00:42:47,477 --> 00:42:49,131
[applause]

434
00:42:50,611 --> 00:42:52,178
[Geta] Remarkable!

435
00:42:52,874 --> 00:42:54,528
[giggling]

436
00:42:54,702 --> 00:42:56,225
Remarkable!

437
00:42:57,487 --> 00:42:59,446
Thraex,
he looked expensive.[dry chuckle]

438
00:43:00,795 --> 00:43:02,971
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

439
00:43:03,972 --> 00:43:05,321
Remarkable.

440
00:43:09,891 --> 00:43:11,414
From where do you hail?

441
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:18,421
Speak.

442
00:43:22,121 --> 00:43:23,252
I said speak.

443
00:43:23,426 --> 00:43:25,037
He is from the colonies,
Your Majesty.

444
00:43:25,211 --> 00:43:27,517
His native tongue
is all he understands.

445
00:43:34,046 --> 00:43:37,005
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.

446
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:43,621
Smooth is the descent,
and easy is the way.

447
00:43:46,362 --> 00:43:48,669
[laughing] But...

448
00:43:50,976 --> 00:43:52,847
to come back from hell

449
00:43:53,021 --> 00:43:54,762
and view the cheerful skies,

450
00:43:54,936 --> 00:43:59,462
in this the task
and mighty labor lies."

451
00:44:00,376 --> 00:44:03,118
[panting]

452
00:44:06,034 --> 00:44:07,340
Virgil, Your Majesty.

453
00:44:08,471 --> 00:44:09,385
[Caracalla] Poetry!

454
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:11,561
[laughter]

455
00:44:12,867 --> 00:44:15,435
- Very clever, Macrinus.
- Thank you.

456
00:44:16,828 --> 00:44:19,047
I've grown so bored,
but you surprise me.

457
00:44:19,221 --> 00:44:22,181
To amuse you is my only wish.

458
00:44:22,355 --> 00:44:24,096
We are amused,
we are amused.

459
00:44:26,185 --> 00:44:27,447
We are amused.

460
00:44:28,927 --> 00:44:31,973
And we all look forward
to seeing your poet

461
00:44:33,105 --> 00:44:34,367
perform in the arena.

462
00:44:34,541 --> 00:44:37,413
As do I, Your Majesties.

463
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,241
Thank you.

464
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:40,721
Viggo?

465
00:44:42,201 --> 00:44:43,550
[Viggo] Come with me.

466
00:45:01,742 --> 00:45:04,136
You fought well today,
but you were lucky, too.

467
00:45:06,573 --> 00:45:09,010
The lines you recited.

468
00:45:09,184 --> 00:45:11,621
You didn't learn that
in Africa, I know that.

469
00:45:12,622 --> 00:45:14,712
- A good verse travels far.
- Mm.

470
00:45:14,886 --> 00:45:16,757
Who taught you poetry?

471
00:45:16,931 --> 00:45:19,064
A captured Roman officer.

472
00:45:19,238 --> 00:45:22,371
I was posted guard over him
and he used to tell us tales

473
00:45:22,545 --> 00:45:24,373
to pass the time.

474
00:45:25,374 --> 00:45:26,506
And what became
of this prisoner?

475
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,116
Oh, we ate him.

476
00:45:29,509 --> 00:45:30,510
As barbarians do.

477
00:45:30,684 --> 00:45:32,947
[chuckling]
As barbarians do.

478
00:45:33,121 --> 00:45:35,036
And where were you born?

479
00:45:35,210 --> 00:45:37,430
Why does my past matter
if it is my future

480
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:39,737
to die for you in the arena?

481
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:48,615
Tell me what use have I
for Roman money.

482
00:45:51,879 --> 00:45:53,402
A gladiator

483
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,057
can buy his own freedom.

484
00:45:57,145 --> 00:45:58,930
His liberty.[chuckles]

485
00:45:59,887 --> 00:46:01,584
The Roman dream.

486
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:03,673
No, the slave dreams
not of freedom

487
00:46:03,848 --> 00:46:06,241
but of a slave
to call his own.

488
00:46:07,155 --> 00:46:08,591
Cicero.

489
00:46:09,854 --> 00:46:12,160
Is that what you were
raised on, Macrinus?

490
00:46:13,945 --> 00:46:16,425
What did you have to do
for Roman money?

491
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:19,254
You promised me a head.

492
00:46:19,428 --> 00:46:22,170
Earn your keep
and you can have
anyone's head.

493
00:46:31,005 --> 00:46:32,659
[stone scraping]

494
00:46:32,833 --> 00:46:34,530
[door unlatches, opens]

495
00:46:41,581 --> 00:46:43,017
[thunder rumbling]

496
00:46:46,455 --> 00:46:48,196
[Lucilla] Father,

497
00:46:48,370 --> 00:46:50,808
protect us and guide us.

498
00:47:04,691 --> 00:47:06,040
Senators.

499
00:47:06,693 --> 00:47:07,868
My lady.

500
00:47:14,005 --> 00:47:17,443
My lady, I wish we were
meeting in better times.

501
00:47:18,313 --> 00:47:20,315
Better times will come.

502
00:47:21,621 --> 00:47:23,928
And why are we here?

503
00:47:24,102 --> 00:47:25,930
[Acacius]
To take back the city.

504
00:47:27,845 --> 00:47:31,370
And restore Rome
to where she should be.

505
00:47:32,806 --> 00:47:34,677
An exciting venture.

506
00:47:35,983 --> 00:47:38,377
- When?
- On the final day
of the games.

507
00:47:39,378 --> 00:47:42,076
My army waits for my command
at Ostia.

508
00:47:42,250 --> 00:47:44,905
Five thousand soldiers
loyal to me...

509
00:47:46,472 --> 00:47:48,778
will enter Rome
and then the Colosseum,

510
00:47:48,953 --> 00:47:50,780
where they will
arrest the emperors

511
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:52,521
for their crimes
against the Senate

512
00:47:53,435 --> 00:47:54,959
and their people.

513
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:00,878
Uh, this plan
is ambitious and risky.

514
00:48:01,052 --> 00:48:03,706
Rome will be yours
to administer and to--

515
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:08,450
Marcus Aurelius talked
of restoring power
to the Senate,

516
00:48:08,624 --> 00:48:12,846
but that was a generation ago.
Much has changed.

517
00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:16,850
The people
have not seen hope

518
00:48:17,024 --> 00:48:18,330
for many years.

519
00:48:18,504 --> 00:48:22,073
But with time...
and guidance...

520
00:48:22,247 --> 00:48:23,639
[sighs sharply]

521
00:48:23,813 --> 00:48:27,121
Lucilla, you are the daughter
of Marcus Aurelius.

522
00:48:27,295 --> 00:48:29,297
He had my loyalty.

523
00:48:31,082 --> 00:48:32,997
And so do you.

524
00:48:35,347 --> 00:48:36,783
Senator Thraex?

525
00:48:38,567 --> 00:48:41,919
Politics follows power,
my lady.

526
00:48:43,094 --> 00:48:46,053
Take back
what is rightfully yours...

527
00:48:47,098 --> 00:48:49,100
and the Senate
will support you.

528
00:48:50,231 --> 00:48:51,406
Thank you.

529
00:49:07,553 --> 00:49:08,946
Food! Food!

530
00:49:13,602 --> 00:49:15,909
When I was told of this place,

531
00:49:16,083 --> 00:49:18,216
they never mentioned
the stink.

532
00:49:20,218 --> 00:49:21,349
That would be Hanno.

533
00:49:21,523 --> 00:49:24,613
[laughter]

534
00:49:24,787 --> 00:49:27,486
Well, you'll have to
put up with me as I am.

535
00:49:27,660 --> 00:49:29,053
[laughing]

536
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:35,842
And what's that up there?
A wolf?

537
00:49:37,626 --> 00:49:40,760
The twins there,
they were outcasts.

538
00:49:40,934 --> 00:49:42,588
Left in the hills to die.

539
00:49:44,155 --> 00:49:47,723
That wolf found them
and she suckled them
on her milk.

540
00:49:49,073 --> 00:49:51,292
Raised by an animal.
It's in their blood.

541
00:49:51,466 --> 00:49:54,252
How do you know this place?

542
00:49:55,470 --> 00:49:57,429
I know the chaos
they brought.

543
00:49:58,734 --> 00:50:01,433
This city infects
everything it touches.

544
00:50:01,607 --> 00:50:03,609
I never dreamt
it would be so big.

545
00:50:03,783 --> 00:50:05,437
Don't fall for it.

546
00:50:05,611 --> 00:50:07,569
This city is diseased.

547
00:50:08,918 --> 00:50:11,008
[peasants] Food! Food!

548
00:50:13,532 --> 00:50:15,969
[children chattering]

549
00:50:18,841 --> 00:50:20,234
[elephant trumpeting]

550
00:50:20,408 --> 00:50:22,410
[indistinct chatter, laughter]

551
00:50:34,814 --> 00:50:37,208
[man] You! Barbarian scum!

552
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,820
[grunts][people yelling]

553
00:50:43,170 --> 00:50:45,129
[woman] Help me.
Please, help me!

554
00:50:47,261 --> 00:50:49,307
[all pleading]

555
00:50:52,266 --> 00:50:54,399
[horses whinnying]

00:51:02,363 --> 00:51:04,322
[crows squawking]

557
00:51:21,948 --> 00:51:23,167
- Ah!
- Thraex.

558
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:27,997
About our wager.

559
00:51:28,172 --> 00:51:29,869
Ah. The barbarian.

560
00:51:30,043 --> 00:51:31,262
Yes, I haven't forgotten,
I always repay my debts.

561
00:51:31,436 --> 00:51:33,220
I was merely
going to suggest

562
00:51:33,394 --> 00:51:35,266
that perhaps your luck
might change.

563
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,790
Shall we say
double or quits?

564
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,448
- Ah.
- Ah.

565
00:51:43,622 --> 00:51:45,537
[both laughing]

566
00:51:50,237 --> 00:51:52,500
[people shouting, indistinct]

567
00:51:55,808 --> 00:51:57,157
[man] Get back!

568
00:52:11,476 --> 00:52:12,999
Fresh meat.

569
00:52:17,046 --> 00:52:18,918
Line up! Line up!

570
00:52:32,975 --> 00:52:35,152
[faint crowd cheering]

571
00:52:37,415 --> 00:52:39,939
[cheering continues, louder]

572
00:52:49,557 --> 00:52:52,125
Play! Play!

573
00:52:52,908 --> 00:52:56,173
[playing simple fanfare]

574
00:53:07,358 --> 00:53:09,621
Emperor Caracalla.

575
00:53:10,361 --> 00:53:12,189
Emperor Geta.

576
00:53:12,363 --> 00:53:14,887
Citizens of Rome!

577
00:53:15,061 --> 00:53:16,758
[crowd cheering]

578
00:53:16,932 --> 00:53:19,935
These sacred games

579
00:53:20,109 --> 00:53:23,243
are held to honor
the victory of Rome

580
00:53:23,417 --> 00:53:26,420
over the barbarians of Numidia.

581
00:53:26,594 --> 00:53:27,595
[crowd booing]

582
00:53:27,769 --> 00:53:30,294
Go! Go!

583
00:53:33,253 --> 00:53:36,648
[announcer] And to honor
Rome's legionary commander,

584
00:53:36,822 --> 00:53:38,954
General Justus Acacius!

585
00:53:39,128 --> 00:53:41,696
[crowd cheering][man] Long live Acacius!

586
00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:43,263
[announcer] And with him

587
00:53:43,437 --> 00:53:48,007
Lucilla, the daughter
of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

588
00:53:48,181 --> 00:53:49,748
[crowd cheering]

589
00:53:49,922 --> 00:53:53,360
[woman, faintly] Lucilla![man] Mother of Rome!

590
00:53:54,361 --> 00:53:55,667
Acacius.

591
00:53:56,363 --> 00:53:57,364
General.

592
00:54:02,717 --> 00:54:04,937
[crowd roars]

593
00:54:05,111 --> 00:54:08,332
[chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

594
00:54:08,506 --> 00:54:13,511
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

595
00:54:14,512 --> 00:54:15,469
Speak to them.

596
00:54:15,643 --> 00:54:18,037
[man faintly]
Speak to us!

597
00:54:23,477 --> 00:54:26,132
[cheering ebbs]

598
00:54:26,306 --> 00:54:29,004
I am not an orator

599
00:54:29,178 --> 00:54:30,702
or a politician.

600
00:54:32,007 --> 00:54:33,618
I am a soldier.

601
00:54:36,142 --> 00:54:41,321
I have seen bravery
in men and women during war.

602
00:54:42,104 --> 00:54:43,845
And even once in this arena.

603
00:54:45,456 --> 00:54:47,109
So if you ask anything
of the gods...

604
00:54:49,068 --> 00:54:51,375
ask for that same bravery.

605
00:54:53,725 --> 00:54:55,814
Because Rome needs it now.

606
00:54:56,858 --> 00:54:58,904
[applause, cheers swelling]

607
00:54:59,992 --> 00:55:02,734
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

608
00:55:02,908 --> 00:55:06,085
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

609
00:55:08,087 --> 00:55:10,132
[chanting continues]

610
00:55:18,750 --> 00:55:21,187
[announcer]
From the South Gate,

611
00:55:21,361 --> 00:55:26,323
fighters from the stable
of Macrinus of Thysdrus!

612
00:55:38,944 --> 00:55:40,859
From the stables

613
00:55:41,033 --> 00:55:44,515
of Emperors Caracalla
and Geta themselves,

614
00:55:44,689 --> 00:55:47,169
the undefeated champion:

615
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:50,912
Glyceo the Destroyer!

616
00:55:51,086 --> 00:55:52,871
[crowd roars]

617
00:55:57,615 --> 00:55:58,485
Hold.

618
00:55:58,659 --> 00:56:00,487
[growling]

619
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:06,928
[grunting]

620
00:56:11,933 --> 00:56:14,196
[roaring cheers]

621
00:56:17,852 --> 00:56:19,898
[rhino roaring]

622
00:56:21,421 --> 00:56:23,249
[Hanno] Hold.

623
00:56:24,555 --> 00:56:26,165
Hail Caesars!

624
00:56:27,819 --> 00:56:31,126
[crowd chanting]
Glyceo! Glyceo! Glyceo!

625
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,302
[chanting continues]

626
00:56:37,655 --> 00:56:40,397
[rhino roars]

627
00:56:42,921 --> 00:56:46,011
Hold together
and when it charges,
break for the wall.

628
00:56:46,185 --> 00:56:47,012
[man] Why should I?

629
00:56:51,277 --> 00:56:52,147
[Hanno] Hold!

630
00:56:53,322 --> 00:56:54,367
Hold!

631
00:56:54,541 --> 00:56:55,412
Break!

632
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:57,762
Cowards!

633
00:57:00,112 --> 00:57:01,330
[yells]

634
00:57:02,462 --> 00:57:03,942
[groaning]

635
00:57:07,162 --> 00:57:08,381
[yells][axe clattering]

636
00:57:09,730 --> 00:57:11,689
[huffing]

637
00:57:11,863 --> 00:57:13,908
To the wall!

638
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,215
[grunts heavily]

639
00:57:18,043 --> 00:57:19,392
[rhino groaning loudly]

640
00:57:19,566 --> 00:57:21,002
[grunts]

641
00:57:25,964 --> 00:57:26,834
Come on!

642
00:57:27,008 --> 00:57:28,227
[roars]

643
00:57:32,971 --> 00:57:34,799
[grunts]

644
00:57:35,321 --> 00:57:36,757
[screaming]

645
00:57:36,931 --> 00:57:39,847
[cheering]

646
00:57:40,021 --> 00:57:41,458
[giggling]

647
00:58:17,929 --> 00:58:20,148
[guttural roaring]

648
00:58:41,387 --> 00:58:43,911
[rhino bellowing]

649
00:58:45,565 --> 00:58:47,219
[excited cheering]

650
00:58:48,002 --> 00:58:50,178
[rhino groaning]

651
00:58:57,142 --> 00:58:58,273
[gasps]

652
00:59:00,145 --> 00:59:01,538
[both grunting]

653
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:10,111
[roaring]

654
00:59:10,285 --> 00:59:13,158
Brother, it's that poet,
is it not?

655
00:59:13,985 --> 00:59:15,900
I can't remember.

656
00:59:16,074 --> 00:59:17,728
That night was a blur.

657
00:59:19,164 --> 00:59:21,732
"The gates of hell
are open night and day.

658
00:59:21,906 --> 00:59:24,909
Smooth the desc--"
I forget.

659
00:59:25,083 --> 00:59:26,780
"Smooth the descent..."

660
00:59:27,651 --> 00:59:29,696
"Smooth is the descent,

661
00:59:30,262 --> 00:59:31,916
easy is the way."

662
00:59:39,663 --> 00:59:40,620
Shield!

663
01:00:08,343 --> 01:00:09,780
[yelling]

664
01:00:16,874 --> 01:00:20,355
[crowd chanting]
Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!

665
01:00:22,183 --> 01:00:23,402
Blood.

666
01:00:26,448 --> 01:00:27,580
Lucilla,

667
01:00:28,276 --> 01:00:29,495
shall we show mercy?

668
01:00:29,669 --> 01:00:31,279
Mercy.

669
01:00:33,455 --> 01:00:35,457
[chanting continues]

670
01:00:46,643 --> 01:00:48,601
No mercy!

671
01:00:48,775 --> 01:00:50,559
Your life has been
spared by the gods--

672
01:00:50,734 --> 01:00:54,694
I would sooner face your blade
than accept Roman mercy!

673
01:01:00,047 --> 01:01:02,049
[both grunting]

674
01:01:04,486 --> 01:01:05,531
[attacking yell]

[rhino groaning]

683
01:02:02,109 --> 01:02:04,721
The road to freedom
doesn't run
through the arena.

684
01:02:05,547 --> 01:02:07,071
It leads to this.

685
01:02:11,597 --> 01:02:13,512
Go to your cells.

686
01:02:15,862 --> 01:02:17,255
[all cheering, clapping]

687
01:02:17,429 --> 01:02:20,911

[dog whimpers]

01:02:37,841 --> 01:02:39,190
Come on, let's go.

"Gates of hell
are open night and day.

<i>And I've got you.</i>

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

697
01:03:30,589 --> 01:03:32,591
Scatto and Argento.

698
01:03:34,811 --> 01:03:37,509
[people cheer, echoing]

699
01:03:40,947 --> 01:03:42,688
[gasping softly]

700
01:03:46,344 --> 01:03:47,693
Lucius is safe?

701
01:04:05,537 --> 01:04:06,581
[Lucilla] Lucius!

702
01:04:16,940 --> 01:04:18,463
[horse whinnies]

703
01:04:19,290 --> 01:04:21,118
[Lucilla] Lucius,

704
01:04:21,292 --> 01:04:24,208
you're the sole heir
to the throne now.

705
01:04:26,036 --> 01:04:27,254
There are men
who want to kill you

706
01:04:27,428 --> 01:04:28,865
so they can take power.

707
01:04:30,605 --> 01:04:33,739
I promise I'll bring you back
as soon as it's safe.

708
01:04:33,913 --> 01:04:37,438
Mother, why can't you
come with me?

709
01:04:37,612 --> 01:04:39,963
[crying] I... I have to
stay here for your sake.

710
01:04:40,137 --> 01:04:42,052
[sniffles]
And for the sake of Rome.

711
01:04:42,226 --> 01:04:44,619
Remember who you are.

712
01:04:44,793 --> 01:04:46,665
And that I love you.

713
01:04:47,405 --> 01:04:48,754
I love you.

714
01:04:49,668 --> 01:04:50,712
[man] Come.

715
01:04:53,977 --> 01:04:55,326
Give me your leg.

716
01:04:57,197 --> 01:04:58,851
Go. Go!

717
01:04:59,025 --> 01:05:00,374
[horse whinnies]

718
01:05:05,597 --> 01:05:07,077
[doctor] So...

719
01:05:08,469 --> 01:05:09,688
[Hanno grunts]

720
01:05:10,428 --> 01:05:11,864
What's your name?

721
01:05:13,518 --> 01:05:14,519
[exhales]

722
01:05:14,693 --> 01:05:17,217
I'm Ravi. I'm a doctor.

723
01:05:18,479 --> 01:05:21,918
Because... more men die
of infected wounds

724
01:05:22,092 --> 01:05:24,616
than out there, in the arena.

725
01:05:26,052 --> 01:05:28,837
This needs to be cleaned,
it needs to be stitched and

726
01:05:29,012 --> 01:05:31,579
[exclaims softly]
it is going to hurt.

727
01:05:31,753 --> 01:05:32,885
Mm.

728
01:05:33,059 --> 01:05:36,062
This is Devil's Breath
and opium.

729
01:05:36,715 --> 01:05:38,195
It's for the pain.

730
01:05:39,196 --> 01:05:40,893
You should breathe in.

731
01:05:42,155 --> 01:05:43,026
[inhales sharply,
grunts]

732
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,158
[deep inhale]

733
01:05:46,899 --> 01:05:48,335
[Ravi] I've been here
so long now,

734
01:05:48,509 --> 01:05:50,903
I don't even notice anymore.

735
01:05:51,077 --> 01:05:53,775
I've done more amputations
than I can count.

736
01:05:54,994 --> 01:05:57,518
Where'd you
- learn your trade?
- Why do you ask?

737
01:05:57,692 --> 01:05:59,303
You've got a heavy hand.

738
01:06:00,739 --> 01:06:02,132
I used to be
a gladiator myself.

739
01:06:02,306 --> 01:06:03,611
Ah.

740
01:06:03,785 --> 01:06:05,787
And would you have bested me?[Ravi chuckles]

741
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:07,441
In your prime, of course.

742
01:06:08,660 --> 01:06:11,271
In your current state,
I could best you now.

743
01:06:11,445 --> 01:06:12,969
[laughs]

744
01:06:13,143 --> 01:06:16,276
Luckily for you,
I have put down my sword.

745
01:06:16,450 --> 01:06:18,583
So now I spend my days[groaning]

746
01:06:18,757 --> 01:06:21,238
saving lives
instead of taking them.

747
01:06:21,412 --> 01:06:22,674
[inhales, grunts]

748
01:06:22,848 --> 01:06:25,285
And why such a change
so late in life?

749
01:06:26,199 --> 01:06:28,332
What we do in life

750
01:06:28,506 --> 01:06:30,856
echoes in eternity.

751
01:06:31,030 --> 01:06:32,858
[panting softly]

752
01:06:34,599 --> 01:06:36,166
I feel like
I know those words.

753
01:06:36,340 --> 01:06:38,820
[Ravi chuckles]
I can't take credit.

754
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:41,475
It's written on
one of the tombs.

755
01:06:41,649 --> 01:06:44,261
Over the bones of a gladiator.

756
01:06:44,435 --> 01:06:45,653
[sharp grunt of pain][Macrinus] My champion!

757
01:06:45,827 --> 01:06:47,916
I smell Devil's Breath!

758
01:06:48,091 --> 01:06:50,267
[laughing]

759
01:06:50,441 --> 01:06:53,792
My... champion.

760
01:06:54,793 --> 01:06:56,490
Did you hear that crowd?

761
01:06:59,537 --> 01:07:01,713
- Did you hear that crowd?
- Mm-hm.

762
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,804
You have something.
I knew it from the start.

763
01:07:05,978 --> 01:07:09,808
- Did you now?
- Yes. The Greeks call it...

764
01:07:10,591 --> 01:07:12,071
<i>thymos.</i>

765
01:07:12,245 --> 01:07:13,551
Smoke.

766
01:07:14,291 --> 01:07:15,640
Rage.

767
01:07:16,641 --> 01:07:18,686
That rage is your gift.

768
01:07:19,383 --> 01:07:22,125
Like the great Achilles.

769
01:07:22,299 --> 01:07:24,562
Never let it go.

770
01:07:24,736 --> 01:07:27,478
It will carry you
to greatness,

771
01:07:27,652 --> 01:07:29,436
my champion.

772
01:07:37,749 --> 01:07:40,708
[horses whinny, snort]

773
01:07:48,890 --> 01:07:50,892
Thank you

774
01:07:51,067 --> 01:07:52,938
for inviting me.

775
01:07:53,112 --> 01:07:55,071
This is truly an honor.

776
01:08:00,206 --> 01:08:02,034
I hear you are
the talk of the court.

777
01:08:02,208 --> 01:08:03,470
[kissing hand]

778
01:08:04,428 --> 01:08:05,429
Yes.

779
01:08:06,343 --> 01:08:07,779
We've met before.

780
01:08:08,519 --> 01:08:10,521
- Have we?
- Long ago.

781
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:13,524
Where?

782
01:08:13,698 --> 01:08:15,526
I was in the service
of your father's army

783
01:08:15,700 --> 01:08:17,702
on his African campaign.

784
01:08:18,964 --> 01:08:20,966
You served
with my father?

785
01:08:21,532 --> 01:08:23,186
[groaning]

786
01:08:24,665 --> 01:08:25,797
Mm.

787
01:08:26,493 --> 01:08:28,495
I had the privilege

788
01:08:29,540 --> 01:08:31,063
of reading
his "Meditations."

789
01:08:31,237 --> 01:08:32,456
Mm.

790
01:08:35,459 --> 01:08:37,374
"The best revenge

791
01:08:38,549 --> 01:08:41,769
is to be unlike him
who performed the injury."

792
01:08:44,076 --> 01:08:46,557
I hear you've been
arming half the legions

793
01:08:46,731 --> 01:08:51,736
in the entire empire,
and here, now, in Rome...

794
01:08:53,085 --> 01:08:55,957
you're gaining influence
by sponsoring gladiators.

795
01:08:56,132 --> 01:08:58,134
I do it for the love
of the sport.

796
01:08:58,308 --> 01:09:01,267
And where did you find
these gladiators?

797
01:09:02,268 --> 01:09:05,010
They're usually
prisoners of war.

798
01:09:05,967 --> 01:09:09,362
Or vagrants.
Why do you ask?

799
01:09:09,536 --> 01:09:12,235
A man can choose to fight...

800
01:09:14,150 --> 01:09:15,760
and stay alive.

801
01:09:15,934 --> 01:09:19,024
It's the same in life as it is
in the arena, is it not?

802
01:09:21,505 --> 01:09:23,071
Who is this?

803
01:09:23,246 --> 01:09:25,596
That is my father
as a youth.

804
01:09:28,816 --> 01:09:29,991
[Macrinus]
<i>She had a child?</i>

805
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:31,863
Mm. [swallows]

806
01:09:32,037 --> 01:09:34,344
It's common knowledge.
When Commodus was killed,

807
01:09:34,518 --> 01:09:36,259
- the boy disappeared.
- Mm.

808
01:09:36,433 --> 01:09:38,391
- But who would care?
- Lucilla would care.

809
01:09:38,565 --> 01:09:41,177
- More wine!
- More wine!

810
01:09:42,569 --> 01:09:46,051
He was of the royal bloodline,
after all.

811
01:09:47,792 --> 01:09:49,054
And his father?

812
01:09:49,228 --> 01:09:53,885
[senator] Ostensibly,
Lucius Verus.

813
01:09:54,059 --> 01:09:55,713
See, it was
an arranged marriage.

814
01:09:55,887 --> 01:09:56,931
She was 14.

815
01:09:57,105 --> 01:10:00,370
- Mm.
- Females were not his taste.

816
01:10:00,544 --> 01:10:01,806
- Nor mine, some days.
- Nor yours!

817
01:10:01,980 --> 01:10:03,416
[both laugh]

818
01:10:03,590 --> 01:10:07,725
No, no, no.
By rumor, you see,
she took lovers.

819
01:10:07,899 --> 01:10:12,033
And by rumor,
the real father...
was Commodus.

820
01:10:13,034 --> 01:10:15,385
Brotherly love,
- you see?
- Yeah.

821
01:10:15,559 --> 01:10:17,213
If he died,

822
01:10:18,257 --> 01:10:20,607
- there has to be remains.
- Mm.

823
01:10:20,781 --> 01:10:24,045
And if he lived,
that would make him about...

824
01:10:24,220 --> 01:10:26,222
Um, well,
let's work it out.

825
01:10:26,396 --> 01:10:29,703
He was about 12
- when he died?
- Yes.

826
01:10:29,877 --> 01:10:34,142
So that would make him...

827
01:10:36,580 --> 01:10:39,017
[heavy door rumbling]

828
01:10:42,499 --> 01:10:44,544
[squeaking]

829
01:10:51,986 --> 01:10:53,988
[hoofbeats thudding]

830
01:11:09,787 --> 01:11:10,614
My lady.

831
01:11:11,267 --> 01:11:12,137
Gracchus.

832
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:15,140
- Please come.
- Thank you.

833
01:11:33,941 --> 01:11:35,291
Gladiator...

834
01:11:36,857 --> 01:11:37,815
do you know me?

835
01:11:46,258 --> 01:11:47,564
Do you have a family?

836
01:11:50,088 --> 01:11:53,309
A wife. Arishat.

837
01:11:54,875 --> 01:11:56,268
Arishat.

838
01:11:56,442 --> 01:11:59,619
She was killed
under your husband's command.

839
01:12:02,405 --> 01:12:04,494
[sighing] Rome drowns
in its own blood.

840
01:12:04,668 --> 01:12:06,931
And yet you enjoy
the pleasures of the Colosseum.

841
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,109
There is much
you do not understand.

842
01:12:17,898 --> 01:12:18,986
Lucius.

843
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,162
I do not know
who you think I am.

844
01:12:21,337 --> 01:12:22,686
[Lucilla's breath trembles]

845
01:12:23,556 --> 01:12:25,384
My name is Hanno,

846
01:12:25,558 --> 01:12:27,952
and I have no mother,
or none that I can remember.

847
01:12:31,129 --> 01:12:32,609
[sniffles]

848
01:12:34,698 --> 01:12:36,656
[crying] I'm so sorry.

849
01:12:36,830 --> 01:12:38,832
If your son were here,
I feel sure he would tell you

850
01:12:39,006 --> 01:12:40,834
not to grieve him.

851
01:12:41,008 --> 01:12:42,662
For he would not be the boy
that you sent away.

852
01:12:42,836 --> 01:12:44,795
That boy is dead.

853
01:12:47,232 --> 01:12:49,321
You may think
I have little worth.

854
01:12:50,975 --> 01:12:52,977
You may think
I betrayed you.

855
01:12:54,979 --> 01:12:56,720
But I need you to know...

856
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:01,072
if you will not have
your mother's love,

857
01:13:01,246 --> 01:13:04,075
then take
your father's strength.

858
01:13:05,293 --> 01:13:06,643
You need it.

859
01:13:08,993 --> 01:13:13,171
His name was
Maximus Decimus Meridius.

860
01:13:14,564 --> 01:13:15,956
And I see him in you.

861
01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:17,480
Get out.

862
01:13:19,656 --> 01:13:22,093
[Gracchus]
My lady, we must go at once!

863
01:13:22,833 --> 01:13:24,312
[Lucilla sobs]

864
01:13:25,575 --> 01:13:27,925
Lucius, you were loved

865
01:13:28,099 --> 01:13:31,145
by myself
and by your father.

866
01:13:31,319 --> 01:13:32,277
[sniffles]

867
01:13:32,451 --> 01:13:33,800
Your name
was on his lips--

868
01:13:33,974 --> 01:13:35,759
Get out!

869
01:13:40,677 --> 01:13:41,895
[panting]

870
01:13:42,069 --> 01:13:43,941
[door shuts]

871
01:13:53,167 --> 01:13:54,647
[Lucilla exhales]

872
01:14:01,828 --> 01:14:03,700
Lucius is alive.

873
01:14:06,093 --> 01:14:07,791
Are you certain?

874
01:14:07,965 --> 01:14:09,270
Yes.

875
01:14:10,228 --> 01:14:11,534
I know my son.

876
01:14:14,624 --> 01:14:16,452
I spoke to him
tonight.

877
01:14:19,890 --> 01:14:22,936
He may be lost to me
for what I did,

878
01:14:24,198 --> 01:14:25,852
but he lives.

879
01:14:27,114 --> 01:14:29,639
The third day of the games
is tomorrow.

880
01:14:29,813 --> 01:14:31,292
Most fighters won't survive.

881
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:32,816
Acacius,

882
01:14:34,208 --> 01:14:35,688
you must help him.

883
01:14:36,559 --> 01:14:38,430
Help him?[crying] Yes.

884
01:14:40,954 --> 01:14:43,435
I failed him then.

885
01:14:44,001 --> 01:14:45,481
I know I did.

886
01:14:47,308 --> 01:14:49,441
I cannot fail him now.

887
01:14:52,096 --> 01:14:53,445
The army is in Ostia.

888
01:14:53,619 --> 01:14:56,317
If we wait a few days...

889
01:14:56,492 --> 01:14:58,494
He could be dead
by then.

890
01:15:00,583 --> 01:15:01,845
Acacius,

891
01:15:02,019 --> 01:15:05,588
I would willingly
give my life for Rome,

892
01:15:06,806 --> 01:15:09,200
but I will not
give my son's.

893
01:15:15,423 --> 01:15:17,643
[Viggo] And one.

894
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:20,254
And two.

895
01:15:20,428 --> 01:15:23,040
And one.[all groaning with effort]

896
01:15:23,214 --> 01:15:26,043
Together.
Timing, timing, timing!

897
01:15:27,348 --> 01:15:30,395
And one. And two.

898
01:15:31,048 --> 01:15:32,963
And one.

899
01:15:33,137 --> 01:15:35,008
Pause, pause!

900
01:15:37,881 --> 01:15:39,056
We won't get far
like this.

901
01:15:39,230 --> 01:15:40,666
[all laughing]

902
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,147
Just him. You go.

903
01:15:43,321 --> 01:15:45,018
Go!

904
01:15:45,192 --> 01:15:48,587
Let's see how far you can go
on your own without your team.

905
01:15:50,328 --> 01:15:51,764
Ready?

906
01:15:51,938 --> 01:15:53,157
One!

907
01:15:54,071 --> 01:15:54,941
And two!

908
01:15:55,115 --> 01:15:57,161
Timing, timing!

909
01:15:57,901 --> 01:15:59,250
Come on, more!

910
01:16:00,643 --> 01:16:01,557
[grunts]

911
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,083
[Viggo] More!

912
01:16:13,917 --> 01:16:15,875
[Lucius groans loudly]

913
01:16:19,009 --> 01:16:20,750
[heavy grunt]

914
01:16:23,013 --> 01:16:24,144
Leave him.

915
01:16:24,318 --> 01:16:26,320
[indistinct chatter]

916
01:16:27,365 --> 01:16:29,236
[huffs, grunts]

917
01:16:39,507 --> 01:16:40,726
[cork pops]

918
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,514
[stammering]
It's just vinegar,
my friend.

919
01:16:47,254 --> 01:16:48,386
[pained groan]

920
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,997
There will be
no more opium for you.

921
01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:56,002
There is plenty of pain waiting
for you in the next life.

922
01:16:56,176 --> 01:16:59,484
I don't know why
you are so greedy for it
in this one.

923
01:17:04,228 --> 01:17:05,577
Are you a free man, Ravi?

924
01:17:05,751 --> 01:17:07,579
[dry chuckle] "Free."

925
01:17:09,276 --> 01:17:11,627
I am. Mm.

926
01:17:11,801 --> 01:17:13,280
I laid down my sword

927
01:17:13,454 --> 01:17:15,369
and I swore never
to pick it up again.

928
01:17:15,543 --> 01:17:16,980
And yet
you choose this hell?

929
01:17:17,154 --> 01:17:18,721
Mm-hm.

930
01:17:18,895 --> 01:17:20,200
What was your home before?

931
01:17:21,462 --> 01:17:22,812
Varanasi.

932
01:17:22,986 --> 01:17:25,162
And why don't you go back?

933
01:17:25,336 --> 01:17:26,729
I wish I could.

934
01:17:26,903 --> 01:17:28,600
[breath hissing]
But...

935
01:17:31,168 --> 01:17:33,170
I met a woman.
[laughs]
Ah.

936
01:17:34,084 --> 01:17:36,434
- It's always a woman.
- Always.

937
01:17:36,608 --> 01:17:40,438
She is from Londinium.
Britannia. You know.

938
01:17:40,612 --> 01:17:42,396
So now...

939
01:17:42,570 --> 01:17:45,443
our sons,
they speak only Latin.

940
01:17:45,617 --> 01:17:47,924
My daughter's eyes,
they are as blue as yours.

941
01:17:48,098 --> 01:17:49,490
[chuckles lightly]

942
01:17:50,709 --> 01:17:52,232
We are Romans now.

943
01:17:52,406 --> 01:17:56,019
I grew up hearing stories
at my grandfather's knee.

944
01:17:57,237 --> 01:18:00,545
He used to talk
of the dream that was Rome.

945
01:18:02,895 --> 01:18:06,769
It was so fragile,
you could only whisper it...

946
01:18:09,119 --> 01:18:10,860
or it would vanish.

947
01:18:11,774 --> 01:18:13,210
[whispering] So,

948
01:18:13,384 --> 01:18:14,994
what was this dream?

949
01:18:15,168 --> 01:18:19,651
A Rome where all could live
under fair law and be protected.

950
01:18:20,608 --> 01:18:22,480
A Rome of the Senate.

951
01:18:24,134 --> 01:18:25,657
A Rome of hope.

952
01:18:28,791 --> 01:18:33,012
Your grandfather,
he sounds like
a dangerous man.

953
01:18:33,186 --> 01:18:34,405
Hm.

954
01:18:37,147 --> 01:18:39,279
The odds are against you.

955
01:18:39,453 --> 01:18:40,803
[light chuckle]

956
01:18:41,673 --> 01:18:43,675
The odds
are always against me.

957
01:18:44,632 --> 01:18:45,764
Don't worry, old man.

958
01:18:45,938 --> 01:18:47,679
Eh?[both laughing]

959
01:18:47,853 --> 01:18:49,681
[muttering]

960
01:18:51,248 --> 01:18:53,380
You should
- get some rest. Hm?
- Mm.

961
01:18:54,512 --> 01:18:56,906
Your men will need you
to lead them tomorrow.

962
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:07,743
[gates rumbling open]

963
01:19:07,917 --> 01:19:10,615
[crowd cheering][drums thudding]

964
01:19:13,270 --> 01:19:14,967
This is about survival.

965
01:19:16,099 --> 01:19:17,404
Survive!

966
01:19:17,578 --> 01:19:21,278
[announcer]
In the name of Poseidon,

967
01:19:21,452 --> 01:19:25,543
we celebrate the glory
of naval war.

968
01:19:25,717 --> 01:19:27,371
[Lucius]
They have archers.

969
01:19:27,545 --> 01:19:29,895
Be ready.
Listen for my commands.

970
01:19:30,069 --> 01:19:32,724
Stay together
and pull as one, yes?

971
01:19:32,898 --> 01:19:33,681
[all] Yes!

972
01:19:33,856 --> 01:19:36,162
- Yes?
- Yes!

973
01:19:38,512 --> 01:19:40,688
[hull creaking]

974
01:19:43,039 --> 01:19:45,693
[announcer]
Today we relive

975
01:19:45,868 --> 01:19:49,306
the Battle of Salamis!

976

977
01:19:50,698 --> 01:19:55,225
The Trojans

Oars out![all] Oars!

979
01:20:02,145 --> 01:20:04,190

Archers!

983

Pull!

984

[all yelling]

990
01:20:57,722 --> 01:21:00,072
Pull! To my time!

991
01:21:00,856 --> 01:21:02,118
And... now!

992
01:21:04,772 --> 01:21:07,079
Left side! Ready, and

993
01:21:07,253 --> 01:21:09,125

Oars in! Oars in!

999
01:21:29,928 --> 01:21:33,801
And pull! And pull!

1000
01:21:33,976 --> 01:21:36,500
[men grunting rhythmically]

1001
01:21:36,674 --> 01:21:38,763

[chanting continues]

1023
01:23:29,700 --> 01:23:32,790

In the name of the emperors...

01:23:32,964 --> 01:23:37,534
the victor is Hanno!

1025
01:23:40,232 --> 01:23:42,452
[all chanting in support]

1026
01:23:49,241 --> 01:23:51,113
Who did this?

1027
01:23:53,898 --> 01:23:56,118
Who did this?!

1028
01:23:56,814 --> 01:23:58,946
- It was me!
- I did it!

1029
01:23:59,121 --> 01:24:00,948
- I did it! I did it! I did it!
- It was me!

1030
01:24:05,518 --> 01:24:07,607
Geta will want retribution
for all of you.

1031
01:24:08,695 --> 01:24:09,870
Did you learn to shoot
in the same place

1032
01:24:10,045 --> 01:24:11,437
you learned to recite poetry?

1033
01:24:11,611 --> 01:24:12,699
Be glad it wasn't me,

1034
01:24:12,873 --> 01:24:14,136
or that arrow
would have found you.

1035
01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:16,355
[men laughing]

1036
01:24:18,053 --> 01:24:20,055
[indistinct chatter]

1037
01:24:20,229 --> 01:24:22,579
[faint music playing]

1038
01:24:30,021 --> 01:24:31,457
Be seated.

1039
01:24:33,981 --> 01:24:35,374
I have news for you.

1040
01:24:39,900 --> 01:24:41,337
He's here, sir.

1041
01:24:42,294 --> 01:24:44,340
[door opens]

1042
01:24:44,514 --> 01:24:46,472
[Macrinus]
Oh, still here.

1043
01:24:47,212 --> 01:24:48,474
[Thraex laughs nervously]

1044
01:24:48,648 --> 01:24:49,997
Macrinus.

1045
01:24:50,172 --> 01:24:52,261
[Macrinus chuckles]
Welcome.

1046
01:24:53,871 --> 01:24:56,091
Yes, I'm listening.

1047
01:24:56,265 --> 01:24:58,789
You know
this is my house now.

1048
01:24:58,963 --> 01:25:01,183
Your debt to me is
over 10,000 denarii.

1049
01:25:01,357 --> 01:25:02,662
You know that.

1050
01:25:02,836 --> 01:25:05,361
[chuckles, stammers]
I have other things. Uh...

1051
01:25:05,535 --> 01:25:07,232
Cattle. Art!

1052
01:25:07,406 --> 01:25:08,929
Truth, then.

1053
01:25:09,104 --> 01:25:10,627
What do you... want?

1054
01:25:10,801 --> 01:25:13,412
Truth.
That's what I want.

1055
01:25:13,586 --> 01:25:17,982
Nothing happens in Rome
without your knowledge.

1056
01:25:19,157 --> 01:25:21,159
You have
the senators' trust.

1057
01:25:22,029 --> 01:25:24,162
You have
Lucilla's trust.

1058
01:25:24,336 --> 01:25:26,991
More importantly,
you have my trust.

1059
01:25:29,036 --> 01:25:32,910
You wish my... loyalty?

1060
01:25:33,084 --> 01:25:34,738
I own...

1061
01:25:36,174 --> 01:25:37,958
your house.

1062
01:25:38,133 --> 01:25:40,744
I want your loyalty.

1063
01:25:44,530 --> 01:25:45,923
I...

1064
01:25:47,142 --> 01:25:48,839
- Tell me.
- I have heard...

1065
01:25:49,013 --> 01:25:51,668
of a plot...

1066
01:25:52,582 --> 01:25:55,193
- to dethrone the emperors.
- Yes.

1067
01:25:55,367 --> 01:25:57,761
But the plan
has been delayed, uh...

1068
01:25:57,935 --> 01:26:00,981
A gladiator is to be rescued
from the arena.

1069
01:26:01,156 --> 01:26:02,505
- Tonight.
- Mm.

1070
01:26:02,679 --> 01:26:05,769
- I don't know why.
- I know why. I know who.

1071
01:26:08,163 --> 01:26:09,207
Pack.

1072
01:26:12,863 --> 01:26:14,386
Quickly.

1073
01:26:42,327 --> 01:26:43,415
[pounding on gate][man] Open up!

[rats squeaking]

1075
01:26:58,691 --> 01:27:00,258
[mastiffs growling]

1076
01:27:03,566 --> 01:27:05,524
[man] Open for
the emperors' guard!

1077

[heavy knocking]

1079
01:27:33,073 --> 01:27:36,512
My Lady, come with us.

[all grunting with impact]

1081
01:28:21,905 --> 01:28:24,081
Thanks to the civic virtue

1082
01:28:24,255 --> 01:28:26,823
of men like Thraex
and Macrinus,

1083
01:28:28,128 --> 01:28:29,826
your insurrection

1084
01:28:30,566 --> 01:28:32,481
has been revealed.

1085
01:28:34,396 --> 01:28:35,701
The honor,

1086
01:28:36,833 --> 01:28:40,663
the dignitas that Rome
has bestowed upon you...

1087
01:28:43,187 --> 01:28:46,146
all this you have forfeited
by your treachery.

1088
01:28:46,321 --> 01:28:48,279
Please, Emperor Geta.

1089
01:28:48,975 --> 01:28:50,803
Torture me if you want,

1090
01:28:51,761 --> 01:28:53,066
but do not lecture me.

1091
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:56,635
Your name
will be forgotten!

1092
01:28:57,767 --> 01:29:00,770
Lost... to history.

1093
01:29:02,772 --> 01:29:04,077
You are damned,
General.

1094
01:29:04,251 --> 01:29:05,992
[laughing]

1095
01:29:06,906 --> 01:29:08,821
[Geta]
- You laugh.
- You damn me?

1096
01:29:09,996 --> 01:29:11,650
I don't care.

1097
01:29:11,824 --> 01:29:15,219
Everything is forgotten in time.
Empires fall. So do emperors.

1098
01:29:15,393 --> 01:29:17,047
[Caracalla] Why wait?

1099
01:29:17,221 --> 01:29:20,311
- I will gut him right now!
- No, no, no!

1100
01:29:20,485 --> 01:29:23,706
Let them be. Come! Come!

1101
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:25,621
His death must be public.

1102
01:29:25,795 --> 01:29:27,231
Public? [grunts]

1103
01:29:27,405 --> 01:29:30,147
Hang his entrails
from the city gates!

1104
01:29:30,321 --> 01:29:31,888
And crucify her!

1105
01:29:32,628 --> 01:29:34,020
Crucify her!

1106
01:29:34,194 --> 01:29:36,066
Take them away!

1107
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,548
[Caracalla yells][Geta] Shh! Shh! Shh!

1108
01:29:52,735 --> 01:29:53,866
Thank you, Macrinus.

1109
01:30:00,220 --> 01:30:01,526
Come on.

1110
01:30:05,008 --> 01:30:06,792
In these last days,

1111
01:30:06,966 --> 01:30:10,100
I have come to think of you
not as a subject

1112
01:30:10,274 --> 01:30:12,407
but as a true friend.

1113
01:30:12,581 --> 01:30:14,191
Thank you.

1114
01:30:14,365 --> 01:30:16,933
Thank you so much.
But as a friend,

1115
01:30:17,107 --> 01:30:19,762
I must counsel caution.

1116
01:30:19,936 --> 01:30:22,895
Acacius is a hero of Rome.

1117
01:30:23,766 --> 01:30:27,160
Crucifixion
is for thieves.

1118
01:30:27,334 --> 01:30:28,466
Christians.

1119
01:30:29,641 --> 01:30:32,514
- It's too common.
- He is a traitor.
He must die.

1120
01:30:32,688 --> 01:30:33,993
I agree.

1121
01:30:34,167 --> 01:30:39,869
Let the gods decide
his fate in the Colosseum.

1122
01:30:46,266 --> 01:30:47,877
Let the gods decide.

1123
01:30:50,749 --> 01:30:54,710
You know, last night I woke,
dreaming of a dark river.

1124
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:58,148
This time,
for the first time,

1125
01:30:58,322 --> 01:30:59,802
I was crossing it.

1126
01:31:00,629 --> 01:31:02,239
[Ravi] Hm.

1127
01:31:02,413 --> 01:31:04,807
Well, you know,
where I come from,

1128
01:31:04,981 --> 01:31:07,897
crossing a river,
it represents forgiveness.

1129
01:31:08,071 --> 01:31:10,987
Represents... salvation.

1130
01:31:11,161 --> 01:31:14,120
Where I come from,
it means
you're already dead.

1131
01:31:14,294 --> 01:31:16,993
[chuckles]

1132
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,001
But as I saw it,
I was not afraid.

1133
01:31:26,742 --> 01:31:28,352
For...

1134
01:31:28,526 --> 01:31:31,355
For someone was waiting
for me on the other side.

1135
01:31:33,009 --> 01:31:34,706
There. [sniffs]

1136
01:31:45,021 --> 01:31:46,501
Who is this man?

1137
01:31:47,893 --> 01:31:49,329
Scratched out?

1138
01:31:50,243 --> 01:31:52,289
Maximus.

1139
01:31:55,074 --> 01:31:57,033
I saw him fight once.

1140
01:31:58,121 --> 01:31:59,644
- He was magnificent.
- Mm.

1141
01:31:59,818 --> 01:32:02,691
Yeah. My time in the arena,
it was after his,

1142
01:32:02,865 --> 01:32:06,999
but many still talked of him
in whispers, you know?

1143
01:32:07,173 --> 01:32:09,393
Spoke of him.

1144
01:32:10,176 --> 01:32:11,830
What he did.

1145
01:32:12,004 --> 01:32:13,876
I met him once.

1146
01:32:15,704 --> 01:32:17,227
He was kind.

1147
01:32:19,534 --> 01:32:21,405
He bowed to no one.

1148
01:32:24,887 --> 01:32:26,453
Come with me.

1149
01:32:26,628 --> 01:32:29,631
- Hmm?
- Come. With me.

1150
01:32:48,780 --> 01:32:52,871
When a rebel gladiator dies,
we bury them here.

1151
01:32:53,045 --> 01:32:57,441
"What we do in life
echoes in eternity."

1152
01:33:15,154 --> 01:33:16,939
This is Argento.

1153
01:33:17,113 --> 01:33:18,593
This is Scatto.

1154
01:33:25,774 --> 01:33:28,690
[cheering, applause]

1155
01:33:31,780 --> 01:33:34,347
[drums thudding]

1156
01:33:41,964 --> 01:33:44,967
[metal clanking]

1157
01:33:54,063 --> 01:33:56,065
[horns playing fanfare]

1158
01:33:59,024 --> 01:34:00,635
Cheers.

1159
01:34:01,331 --> 01:34:02,724
And stop.

1160
01:34:04,421 --> 01:34:08,425
For his treason
against the lives

1161
01:34:08,599 --> 01:34:12,559
of the emperors
and the Roman state,

1162
01:34:12,734 --> 01:34:16,085
General Justus Acacius,

1163
01:34:17,521 --> 01:34:20,437
an enemy of the people!

1164
01:34:20,611 --> 01:34:23,005
[all chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1165
01:34:23,179 --> 01:34:25,529
- [man] We love you, Acacius!
- You are a hero!

1166
01:34:26,835 --> 01:34:29,838
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1167
01:34:30,012 --> 01:34:33,232
[chanting continues]

1168
01:34:36,932 --> 01:34:39,195
[crowd roaring]

1169
01:34:53,209 --> 01:34:56,168
[crowd jeering loudly]

1170
01:35:01,347 --> 01:35:03,959
[Acacius] <i>Vae victis.</i>[soldiers] General.

1171
01:35:04,133 --> 01:35:06,613
[all shouting, grunting]

1172
01:35:10,487 --> 01:35:11,793
[pained yell]

1173
01:35:11,967 --> 01:35:14,012
[grunts]

1174
01:35:22,107 --> 01:35:23,848
[crowd cheering]

1175
01:35:24,022 --> 01:35:25,894
[panting heavily]

1176
01:35:26,068 --> 01:35:27,983
[scattered shouts]
Acacius!

1177
01:35:29,245 --> 01:35:33,379
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius! Acacius!

1178
01:35:33,553 --> 01:35:36,992
[all continue chanting]

1179
01:35:39,429 --> 01:35:43,433
[announcer]
From the vanquished city
of Numidia,

1180
01:35:44,651 --> 01:35:49,787
the victor of two conquests
in the Colosseum...

1181
01:35:49,961 --> 01:35:52,485
Go now. <i>Vae victis.</i>

1182
01:35:56,838 --> 01:35:59,579
[crowd chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1183
01:35:59,754 --> 01:36:02,017
Hanno![crowd cheering]

1184
01:36:02,191 --> 01:36:04,933
Oh, Lord, any honor I have,

1185
01:36:05,107 --> 01:36:06,717
- I will give it to you!
- It's too late.

1186
01:36:06,891 --> 01:36:10,068
[announcer]
The Roman traitor or

1187
01:36:10,242 --> 01:36:12,505
the barbarian hero.

1188
01:36:13,289 --> 01:36:14,986
Let the gods decide.

1189
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:16,814
Lucius... wait.

1190
01:36:18,337 --> 01:36:19,469
Wait! Wait!

1191
01:36:19,643 --> 01:36:21,863
[both grunting heavily]

1192
01:36:26,563 --> 01:36:29,348
[overlapping
cheers and jeers]

1193
01:36:29,522 --> 01:36:32,264
I am a vessel.

1194
01:36:33,613 --> 01:36:35,833
Fill me with vengeance

1195
01:36:36,834 --> 01:36:39,054
and vanquish the betrayer.

1196
01:36:42,013 --> 01:36:45,234
[attacking grunts]

1197
01:36:56,898 --> 01:36:59,161
- We love you, Acacius!
- Move it!

1198
01:37:03,295 --> 01:37:04,862
Pick it up!

1199
01:37:05,036 --> 01:37:07,343
[woman]
Bravo, Hanno!

1200
01:37:07,517 --> 01:37:08,866
[man]
We love you, Acacius!

1201
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:09,954
[man 2]
What are you waiting for?

1202
01:37:10,128 --> 01:37:11,086
[man 3]
You will die!

1203
01:37:11,260 --> 01:37:14,219
[cheering and booing]

1204
01:37:18,528 --> 01:37:20,269
[crowd whooping]

1205
01:37:23,359 --> 01:37:24,969
[both grunting heavily]

1206
01:37:27,929 --> 01:37:30,366
[crowd groaning]

1207
01:37:38,635 --> 01:37:40,289
[pained grunting]

1208
01:37:40,463 --> 01:37:41,986
[panting]

1209
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:43,422
[Acacius]
I know who you are.

1210
01:37:45,250 --> 01:37:47,252
Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1211
01:37:53,868 --> 01:37:56,174
[crowd groaning]

1212
01:37:58,133 --> 01:38:00,439
[crowd exclaiming]

1213
01:38:00,613 --> 01:38:02,572
Acacius
has raised his hand!

1214
01:38:03,616 --> 01:38:05,836
He has surrendered.

1215
01:38:06,010 --> 01:38:08,360
[all muttering]

1216
01:38:13,496 --> 01:38:15,454
Let the gods decide.

1217
01:38:23,767 --> 01:38:25,987
[monkey screeching]

1218
01:38:33,081 --> 01:38:35,910
The gods have rendered
their judgment.

1219
01:38:39,043 --> 01:38:40,523
Do what you must.

1220
01:38:41,654 --> 01:38:44,005
But on my death,
you have to know...

1221
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:47,834
I love your mother,
Lucilla.

1222
01:38:49,314 --> 01:38:50,663
And your father...

1223
01:38:53,449 --> 01:38:54,450
Maximus.

1224
01:38:55,799 --> 01:38:57,844
I would have died
for him.

1225
01:38:58,019 --> 01:38:59,803
Kill him!

1226
01:38:59,977 --> 01:39:02,675
[man] Let him live!
Please!

1227
01:39:03,807 --> 01:39:06,853
[crowd chanting]
Live! Live! Live! Live!

1228
01:39:13,817 --> 01:39:15,514
Kill him!

1229
01:39:17,516 --> 01:39:18,343
[grunts][Geta] Kill him!

1230
01:39:18,517 --> 01:39:19,692
Archers!

1231
01:39:19,866 --> 01:39:21,651
No![Geta] Kill him!

1232
01:39:21,825 --> 01:39:24,262
[crowd chanting]
Acacius! Acacius!

1233
01:39:24,436 --> 01:39:26,047
[Caracalla] Kill him!

1234
01:39:26,221 --> 01:39:27,570
Kill him!

1235
01:39:27,744 --> 01:39:29,093
Kill him! Kill him!

1236
01:39:29,267 --> 01:39:31,182
[crowd continues chanting]

1237
01:39:31,356 --> 01:39:32,662
[sobbing] Acacius!

1238
01:39:35,621 --> 01:39:36,753
[arrow whistling]

1239
01:39:36,927 --> 01:39:37,928
[crowd exclaiming]

1240
01:39:38,102 --> 01:39:40,104
[grunting]

1241
01:39:42,802 --> 01:39:43,803
[Lucilla] No!

1242
01:39:44,413 --> 01:39:45,849
No!

1243
01:39:46,023 --> 01:39:47,633
Acacius!

1244
01:39:50,201 --> 01:39:52,116
Damn you!

1245
01:39:52,290 --> 01:39:53,944
[breath heaving]

1246
01:39:54,118 --> 01:39:55,990
Death will be
too good for you!

1247
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,694
Is this how Rome
treats its heroes?

1248
01:40:08,698 --> 01:40:10,178
Tell me!

1249
01:40:12,354 --> 01:40:16,793
If his life has no value,
what are yours worth?

1250
01:40:16,967 --> 01:40:21,928
The gods have spoken!

1251
01:40:22,103 --> 01:40:24,670
[crowd booing loudly]

1252
01:40:26,846 --> 01:40:29,501
[shouting, jeering]

1253
01:40:35,986 --> 01:40:39,598
[crowd chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1254
01:40:44,168 --> 01:40:46,736
[crowd booing]

1255
01:40:55,092 --> 01:40:58,052
For our own safety,
we should return to the palace.

1256
01:40:59,401 --> 01:41:03,318
[crowd booing loudly]

1257
01:41:06,451 --> 01:41:09,628
[crowd]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1258
01:41:17,027 --> 01:41:19,203
[all jeering]

1259
01:41:19,377 --> 01:41:21,727
[soldier]
Stay back! Stay back!

1260
01:41:48,537 --> 01:41:51,192
[booing and jeers, echoing]

1261
01:41:56,284 --> 01:41:58,242
[crowd noise fades]

1262
01:42:08,818 --> 01:42:09,819
[thunder rolling]

1263
01:42:09,993 --> 01:42:14,345
[Lucius, faintly] Arishat!

1264
01:42:17,087 --> 01:42:18,915
[door opens]

1265
01:42:31,928 --> 01:42:33,451
We had a bargain.

1266
01:42:37,151 --> 01:42:40,328
I gave him to you.
You let him live.

1267
01:42:40,502 --> 01:42:42,112
And you got
what you wanted.

1268
01:42:42,286 --> 01:42:44,810
I always get what I want.
Why did you let him live?

1269
01:42:44,984 --> 01:42:47,813
You bought a gladiator,
not a slave.

1270
01:42:49,554 --> 01:42:51,295
My will is my own.

1271
01:42:53,558 --> 01:42:54,864
Ah...

1272
01:42:55,038 --> 01:42:57,649
How blue is your blood?

1273
01:42:57,823 --> 01:43:00,304
Perhaps the heart of a Roman

1274
01:43:00,478 --> 01:43:02,698
beats in that chest.
[chuckles]

1275
01:43:08,399 --> 01:43:11,185
The greatest temple
Rome ever built.

1276
01:43:11,359 --> 01:43:12,838
The Colosseum.

1277
01:43:13,012 --> 01:43:15,232
Because this is
what they believe in.

1278
01:43:15,406 --> 01:43:16,973
Power.

1279
01:43:17,147 --> 01:43:19,758
They gather here to watch
the strong strike down the weak.

1280
01:43:19,932 --> 01:43:21,717
There has to be
- something else.
- There is nothing else.

1281
01:43:21,891 --> 01:43:24,633
There has to be
- another Rome.
- There is no other Rome.

1282
01:43:26,156 --> 01:43:27,679
- The "dream"?
- Mm.

1283
01:43:27,853 --> 01:43:29,681
The dream of Rome?

1284
01:43:29,855 --> 01:43:31,335
It's an old man's fantasy.

1285
01:43:33,163 --> 01:43:34,512
Who are you?

1286
01:43:37,646 --> 01:43:40,605
What was your name
before you traded it
for a Roman one?

1287
01:43:41,693 --> 01:43:43,129
You'll never know.

1288
01:43:45,958 --> 01:43:47,525
I have a destiny.

1289
01:43:51,050 --> 01:43:53,357
The gods delivered you to me.

1290
01:43:56,404 --> 01:43:58,057
You will be my instrument.

1291
01:43:58,232 --> 01:44:01,496
I will never be
your instrument,
in this life or the next.

1292
01:44:09,808 --> 01:44:12,985
[door opening]
That will not be my destiny.

1293
01:44:15,031 --> 01:44:16,598
But I will see your end.

1294
01:44:16,772 --> 01:44:19,253
[people shouting,
yelling in distance]

1295
01:44:35,486 --> 01:44:37,532
[monkey chittering]

1296
01:44:37,706 --> 01:44:39,490
What else could I do?

1297
01:44:39,664 --> 01:44:41,405
He and his bitch
were plotting to kill us.

1298
01:44:41,579 --> 01:44:44,147
Don't you hear them?
They're calling for our heads!

1299
01:44:44,321 --> 01:44:46,280
The Praetorians
will put down this crowd.

1300
01:44:46,454 --> 01:44:48,107
- Like they have every other.
- You brought this on us.

1301
01:44:48,282 --> 01:44:50,675
Filthy ape![monkey squeaking in fear]

1302
01:44:54,375 --> 01:44:57,029
[Macrinus]
Perhaps you should, uh,

1303
01:44:57,203 --> 01:45:01,512
take Dondus elsewhere
to comfort him?

1304
01:45:11,130 --> 01:45:13,350
Forgive
my brother's outburst.

1305
01:45:15,309 --> 01:45:16,745
The disease
that infects his loins

1306
01:45:16,919 --> 01:45:18,790
has spread to his brain.

1307
01:45:18,964 --> 01:45:21,967
- Every day he gets worse.
- I will reason with him.

1308
01:45:23,621 --> 01:45:25,493
[all yelling, shouting]

1309
01:45:31,107 --> 01:45:33,544
[Dondus hooting]

1310
01:45:38,332 --> 01:45:41,378
[singsong] I see you.

1311
01:45:41,552 --> 01:45:43,554
I see you.

1312
01:45:44,990 --> 01:45:47,079
Caracalla, Caracalla!

1313
01:45:47,253 --> 01:45:48,820
Come on, stand up.

1314
01:45:48,994 --> 01:45:50,996
Get up, get up.
Not you.

1315
01:45:51,170 --> 01:45:52,911
All right,
there you go.

1316
01:45:54,652 --> 01:45:56,915
Now, listen to me.

1317
01:45:57,089 --> 01:45:58,569
What's the matter?

1318
01:45:58,743 --> 01:46:01,311
[panting]
Nothing's ever mine.

1319
01:46:01,485 --> 01:46:03,748
Everything is ours, always.

1320
01:46:03,922 --> 01:46:07,099
Even in the womb...
[stammering] he tried...

1321
01:46:07,970 --> 01:46:11,234
to cut my umbilicus

1322
01:46:11,408 --> 01:46:13,149
so that I couldn't have
any more air.

1323
01:46:13,323 --> 01:46:15,499
You remember that,
- do you?
- Certainly.

1324
01:46:15,673 --> 01:46:17,936
- Come, sit.
- One cannot forget.

1325
01:46:18,110 --> 01:46:20,243
My conscience compels me.

1326
01:46:20,417 --> 01:46:21,766
What?

1327
01:46:21,940 --> 01:46:23,072
Sit.

1328
01:46:23,246 --> 01:46:24,595
Your brother

1329
01:46:25,509 --> 01:46:26,989
means to blame you

1330
01:46:28,033 --> 01:46:30,340
in front of
the entire Senate...

1331
01:46:30,514 --> 01:46:31,820
But I did not do it!

1332
01:46:31,994 --> 01:46:33,474
...for what's happening
in the streets.

1333
01:46:33,648 --> 01:46:35,954
- The chaos!
- He's lying!

1334
01:46:36,128 --> 01:46:37,869
No testimony
can be more damning

1335
01:46:38,043 --> 01:46:41,395
than one brother
against another.

1336
01:46:41,569 --> 01:46:44,136
That's a lie!
He always lies!

1337
01:46:44,310 --> 01:46:46,704
He can be very persuasive.

1338
01:46:46,878 --> 01:46:49,533
So?
What will they do to me?

1339
01:46:49,707 --> 01:46:52,362
Oh, I don't dare imagine.
But imagine this:

1340
01:46:52,536 --> 01:46:54,538
What will they do to Dondus?

1341
01:46:57,715 --> 01:47:00,457
What will they do

1342
01:47:00,631 --> 01:47:01,937
to Dondus?

1343
01:47:02,111 --> 01:47:04,200
[Dondus
chittering softly]

1344
01:47:04,374 --> 01:47:05,636
It's your decision.

1345
01:47:15,211 --> 01:47:17,692
[people shouting angrily]

1346
01:47:30,313 --> 01:47:33,969
[angry shouts continue]

1347
01:47:43,500 --> 01:47:44,370
Brother.

1348
01:47:48,026 --> 01:47:49,724
Put down the blade.

1349
01:47:49,898 --> 01:47:50,942
You lie.

1350
01:47:51,116 --> 01:47:52,814
- Give it to me.
- You always lie!

1351
01:47:52,988 --> 01:47:53,858
Give it-- [grunts]

1352
01:47:54,032 --> 01:47:55,599
[chuckles]

1353
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:57,688
[Geta exclaiming]

1354
01:47:57,862 --> 01:48:00,038
Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.

1355
01:48:00,212 --> 01:48:02,519
- Lie!
- Listen to me.
Break the spell.

1356
01:48:02,693 --> 01:48:04,652
- Lie!
- Break the spell!

1357
01:48:04,826 --> 01:48:07,916
I've always protected you.
Because I love you.

1358
01:48:08,612 --> 01:48:10,614
Come back. Help me.

1359
01:48:20,189 --> 01:48:21,712
[blade plunges]

1360
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:24,193
[faint, indistinct chatter]

1361
01:48:24,367 --> 01:48:26,108
[keys jingling]

1362
01:48:33,289 --> 01:48:34,638
Lucius.

1363
01:48:41,253 --> 01:48:43,429
[hinges creaking]

1364
01:48:56,442 --> 01:48:58,967
Never could have imagined
the fates would lead us here.

1365
01:48:59,141 --> 01:49:01,012
[Lucius chuckles dryly]

1366
01:49:01,186 --> 01:49:02,927
And yet here we are.

1367
01:49:04,668 --> 01:49:06,322
Everything has
brought us full circle.

1368
01:49:06,496 --> 01:49:09,499
You sent me away
and yet fate

1369
01:49:09,673 --> 01:49:12,110
brought me back
to the very ground
where he died.

1370
01:49:15,157 --> 01:49:16,114
[Lucilla] This ring...

1371
01:49:18,029 --> 01:49:19,683
belonged to my father.

1372
01:49:23,818 --> 01:49:26,777
He gave it
to your father,
Maximus,

1373
01:49:26,951 --> 01:49:28,779
as a token of trust.

1374
01:49:30,215 --> 01:49:33,175
I gave it to Acacius
for his valor.

1375
01:49:37,701 --> 01:49:39,877
This ring belonged to my wife.

1376
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,360
I shall wear it next to yours.

1377
01:49:58,635 --> 01:50:01,072
I am truly sorry for Acacius.

1378
01:50:02,421 --> 01:50:05,076
I could not see the man.

1379
01:50:05,250 --> 01:50:06,600
[sniffles]

1380
01:50:07,426 --> 01:50:09,254
He was a soldier of Rome.

1381
01:50:11,256 --> 01:50:12,606
There was a plan.

1382
01:50:13,911 --> 01:50:15,217
He was readying troops
at Ostia

1383
01:50:15,391 --> 01:50:18,350
under the command
of Darius Sextus.

1384
01:50:18,524 --> 01:50:21,527
Troops he was to lead
against the emperors.

1385
01:50:23,617 --> 01:50:27,925
Acacius. Maximus.
Marcus Aurelius.

1386
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:31,450
They lived and died
for Rome.

1387
01:50:32,190 --> 01:50:33,627
We all do.

1388
01:50:35,716 --> 01:50:38,022
Is it true
they intend to kill you?

1389
01:50:39,241 --> 01:50:40,895
[chuckles lightly]

1390
01:50:41,069 --> 01:50:42,984
One man or another
has had a sword
against my neck

1391
01:50:43,158 --> 01:50:45,464
since the day
my father died.

1392
01:50:48,729 --> 01:50:50,644
But now
that I've found you,

1393
01:50:51,514 --> 01:50:53,298
it doesn't matter.

1394
01:50:54,691 --> 01:50:56,388
I am not afraid.

1395
01:50:56,562 --> 01:50:59,609
I've become well versed
in losing the things
that I love.

1396
01:51:02,481 --> 01:51:03,657
But now that I've found you,

1397
01:51:03,831 --> 01:51:05,484
I have no desire
to lose you again.

1398
01:51:05,659 --> 01:51:07,878
[exhales shakily]

1399
01:51:08,662 --> 01:51:10,838
- You stand like him.
- Mm.

1400
01:51:11,621 --> 01:51:12,970
Alert.

1401
01:51:13,884 --> 01:51:14,972
Proud.

1402
01:51:17,235 --> 01:51:19,760
I do not have his strength.

1403
01:51:20,717 --> 01:51:22,806
I wish that were true.

1404
01:51:24,242 --> 01:51:27,289
I wish I were telling you
to flee this place.

1405
01:51:27,463 --> 01:51:28,986
[keys jingling]

1406
01:51:32,511 --> 01:51:34,731
[door unlocks]

1407
01:51:36,167 --> 01:51:37,255
Go now.

1408
01:51:42,173 --> 01:51:44,088
[Lucilla sighs]

1409
01:51:45,568 --> 01:51:46,700
Strength and honor.

1410
01:51:49,267 --> 01:51:50,878
Strength and honor.

1411
01:52:01,627 --> 01:52:03,412
[thunder rumbling faintly]

1412
01:52:03,586 --> 01:52:05,588
[Caracalla] As Emperor,

1413
01:52:05,762 --> 01:52:07,372
I have convened

1414
01:52:08,373 --> 01:52:11,550
the Senate to appoint
my First Consul

1415
01:52:11,725 --> 01:52:14,945
and bestow upon him the power
to administer the military

1416
01:52:15,119 --> 01:52:18,340
and civic functions
of the Empire.

1417
01:52:22,213 --> 01:52:23,562
I name...

1418
01:52:24,694 --> 01:52:27,088
Citizen Dondus!

1419
01:52:27,262 --> 01:52:28,959
[Senate murmuring]

1420
01:52:29,133 --> 01:52:31,570
[Dondus chittering]

1421
01:52:34,138 --> 01:52:35,749
[Caracalla]
Hail Dondus!

1422
01:52:39,230 --> 01:52:40,710
Hail Dondus!

1423
01:52:42,756 --> 01:52:45,323
[clearing throat]
- Hail Dondus.
- Hail Dondus!

1424
01:52:45,497 --> 01:52:47,978
[all] Hail Dondus!

1425
01:52:52,243 --> 01:52:54,071
As Second Consul...

1426
01:52:56,030 --> 01:52:57,509
I name...

1427
01:52:59,903 --> 01:53:01,165
Citizen...

1428
01:53:03,472 --> 01:53:04,865
Macrinus!

1429
01:53:07,302 --> 01:53:08,912
Hail Macrinus!

1430
01:53:09,086 --> 01:53:10,479
Hail Macrinus!

1431
01:53:10,653 --> 01:53:12,568
[all] Hail Macrinus!

1432
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:16,920
There will be
a triumphal parade
to celebrate.

1433
01:53:17,094 --> 01:53:18,617
There will be games

1434
01:53:19,401 --> 01:53:21,272
and mass executions.

1435
01:53:21,446 --> 01:53:23,884
[chittering]

1436
01:53:24,536 --> 01:53:27,191
Long live the Empire!

1437
01:53:28,802 --> 01:53:30,499
[Macrinus]
Long live the Empire!

1438
01:53:30,673 --> 01:53:32,283
[all] Long live the Empire!

1439
01:53:35,199 --> 01:53:36,897
[applause subsides]

1440
01:53:38,681 --> 01:53:39,856
Sit down.

1441
01:53:43,294 --> 01:53:45,949
I happen to have...

1442
01:53:49,561 --> 01:53:53,217
with good fortune
and not a little skill...

1443
01:53:54,958 --> 01:53:58,092
the remaining emperor's ear.

1444
01:54:00,268 --> 01:54:02,923
[all gasping, murmuring]

1445
01:54:05,316 --> 01:54:07,579
I can speak logic to it...

1446
01:54:12,367 --> 01:54:14,848
and tame the madness
in the street. But...

1447
01:54:17,807 --> 01:54:19,417
to restore order...

1448
01:54:21,506 --> 01:54:23,334
I must have power...

1449
01:54:27,077 --> 01:54:29,079
and command

1450
01:54:29,819 --> 01:54:31,777
over the Praetorian Army.

1451
01:54:37,653 --> 01:54:39,394
Ballot...

1452
01:54:41,570 --> 01:54:42,919
or hand?

1453
01:54:45,095 --> 01:54:47,619
Aye![all] Aye!

1454
01:54:50,927 --> 01:54:52,537
Your humble servant.

1455
01:54:56,672 --> 01:54:58,195
Put your hands down.

1456
01:55:00,894 --> 01:55:02,373
You can sit down.

1457
01:55:15,952 --> 01:55:17,562
[Macrinus] <i>Rome must fall.</i>

1458
01:55:20,304 --> 01:55:22,306
I need only
give it a push.

1459
01:55:25,396 --> 01:55:27,572
[Lucilla]
And after Rome falls...

1460
01:55:28,530 --> 01:55:30,924
[dry chuckle]
...what then?

1461
01:55:33,056 --> 01:55:35,058
You are
your father's child.

1462
01:55:37,104 --> 01:55:40,498
His dream of Rome
was never a dream.

1463
01:55:40,672 --> 01:55:42,587
It was a fiction.

1464
01:55:42,761 --> 01:55:45,025
"The best revenge is

1465
01:55:45,199 --> 01:55:48,985
to become unlike the one
who did the injury."

1466
01:55:49,159 --> 01:55:54,034
I have made myself
unlike your father.

1467
01:55:54,208 --> 01:55:57,689
He spoke of dreams,
I speak of truth.

1468
01:55:57,863 --> 01:56:00,257
And the only truth
in my Rome

1469
01:56:01,867 --> 01:56:03,869
is the law
of the strongest.

1470
01:56:06,176 --> 01:56:07,525
I was owned

1471
01:56:09,005 --> 01:56:10,528
by an emperor.

1472
01:56:13,531 --> 01:56:15,620
Now I control an empire.

1473
01:56:16,708 --> 01:56:19,973
Where else but in Rome
can a man do that?

1474
01:56:25,282 --> 01:56:29,765
Do you recognize
your father's mark on me?

1475
01:56:34,596 --> 01:56:35,901
If there is anything

1476
01:56:36,598 --> 01:56:37,991
you need...

1477
01:56:39,731 --> 01:56:41,385
in these last hours,

1478
01:56:42,386 --> 01:56:44,040
we will provide.

1479
01:56:49,785 --> 01:56:52,483
Your death will clear my path
to the throne.

1480
01:56:54,398 --> 01:56:57,314
Tomorrow
there will be games.

1481
01:56:57,488 --> 01:56:59,055
And at them...

1482
01:56:59,969 --> 01:57:01,666
I will prevail.

1483
01:57:07,324 --> 01:57:08,891
[door clangs shut]

1484
01:57:09,065 --> 01:57:10,762
[keys jingling]

1485
01:57:15,332 --> 01:57:16,812
Ravi!

1486
01:57:23,427 --> 01:57:25,603
Can you get me a message
to Ostia by morning?

1487
01:57:25,777 --> 01:57:27,431
What is in Ostia?

1488
01:57:27,605 --> 01:57:29,042
There is an army.

1489
01:57:31,305 --> 01:57:32,915
I'm asking you
to risk yourself, my friend,

1490
01:57:33,089 --> 01:57:35,178
in the service
of something greater.

1491
01:57:38,094 --> 01:57:39,487
Ride to Ostia.

1492
01:57:40,792 --> 01:57:42,794
Take this ring
to General Darius Sextus.

1493
01:57:42,968 --> 01:57:44,361
Are you listening?

1494
01:57:45,014 --> 01:57:47,625
Darius Sextus.

1495
01:57:47,799 --> 01:57:49,801
He will know it
as Acacius's ring.

1496
01:57:52,761 --> 01:57:54,893
[clears throat] And, uh,

1497
01:57:55,807 --> 01:57:57,157
who shall I say has

1498
01:57:57,853 --> 01:57:59,507
sent me with this ring?

1499
01:58:02,901 --> 01:58:05,208
I am Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1500
01:58:06,470 --> 01:58:07,993
The Prince of Rome.

1501
01:58:09,212 --> 01:58:10,648
Tell him
I am summoning the army

1502
01:58:10,822 --> 01:58:13,086
to the defense
of a new Republic.

1503
01:58:16,263 --> 01:58:17,699
[inhales]

1504
01:58:21,746 --> 01:58:22,878
- Should I trust you?
- Yes.

1505
01:58:23,052 --> 01:58:25,098
Should I?Yes.

1506
01:58:32,017 --> 01:58:34,716
Ravi! I need your keys.

1507
01:58:40,809 --> 01:58:42,506
Thank you.

1508
01:59:20,370 --> 01:59:22,807
Stop! Come back!

1509
01:59:35,298 --> 01:59:37,344
[panting]

1510
01:59:44,525 --> 01:59:45,700
[inhales sharply]

1511
01:59:53,577 --> 01:59:54,709
Who gave you this?

1512
01:59:55,710 --> 01:59:57,842
Lucius Verus Aurelius.

1513
01:59:59,061 --> 02:00:00,280
The Prince of Rome.

1514
02:00:21,779 --> 02:00:23,781
[horses snort, whinnying]

1515
02:00:28,873 --> 02:00:31,224
[crowd cheering
in distance]

1516
02:00:53,463 --> 02:00:56,510
[whispering]
Must we kill Lucilla?

1517
02:00:58,163 --> 02:01:01,906
[quietly] Until she dies,
you will never know peace.

1518
02:01:03,778 --> 02:01:04,822
Ever.

1519
02:01:07,912 --> 02:01:10,001
[horns playing fanfare]

1520
02:01:15,746 --> 02:01:18,271
The people love her.
Her death will incite the mob.

1521
02:01:18,445 --> 02:01:20,925
If she dies and the streets
rise up in anger,

1522
02:01:21,099 --> 02:01:22,492
I shall deliver them
Caracalla's head

1523
02:01:22,666 --> 02:01:24,015
and the people
shall acclaim me.

1524
02:01:24,189 --> 02:01:27,758
That, my friend,
is politics.

1525
02:01:30,587 --> 02:01:32,415
- Shall we?
- Yes.

1526
02:01:47,691 --> 02:01:49,780
Today will be
your last fight, champion.

1527
02:01:50,912 --> 02:01:52,522
And our master
has bestowed on you...

1528
02:01:54,916 --> 02:01:57,310
the wooden sword of freedom.

1529
02:02:01,314 --> 02:02:03,272
But you have to
earn it first.

1530
02:02:03,446 --> 02:02:05,753
Today, you're gonna
defend your mother.

1531
02:02:12,455 --> 02:02:14,588
[soldier shouting][grunting]

1532
02:02:14,762 --> 02:02:16,981
[all yelling]

1533
02:02:25,468 --> 02:02:28,515
[grunting explosively]

1534
02:02:28,689 --> 02:02:31,518
Wood or steel,
a point is still a point!

1535
02:02:34,042 --> 02:02:35,739
[arrows whistling]

1536
02:02:58,806 --> 02:03:00,329
[Lucius] Wait for me.

1537
02:03:19,130 --> 02:03:20,828
In honor

1538
02:03:21,002 --> 02:03:25,267
of the acclamation
of Emperor Caracalla,

1539
02:03:25,441 --> 02:03:31,316
First Consul Dondus
and Second Consul Macrinus,

1540
02:03:31,491 --> 02:03:35,973
and as punishment
for her conspiracy
against the empire,

1541
02:03:36,147 --> 02:03:40,500
for her calumnies against
the emperor's imperial bloodline

1542
02:03:40,674 --> 02:03:42,850
and for fomenting
military mutiny

1543
02:03:43,024 --> 02:03:44,417
along with her husband,

1544
02:03:44,591 --> 02:03:48,203
the queen will face
divine justice

1545
02:03:48,377 --> 02:03:52,425
at the hands
of the Praetorian Guard.

1546
02:03:56,690 --> 02:03:59,127
[crowd cheering faintly]

1547
02:04:16,927 --> 02:04:18,451
I am not a general.

1548
02:04:20,148 --> 02:04:23,630
But we are all soldiers.

1549
02:04:25,632 --> 02:04:27,372
And up until now,

1550
02:04:27,547 --> 02:04:31,725
we have fought for nothing more
than another day's survival.

1551
02:04:31,899 --> 02:04:33,727
What will you
have us do?

1552
02:04:35,076 --> 02:04:36,251
Well, you can return
to your cells

1553
02:04:36,425 --> 02:04:38,340
if you do not wish
to fight this battle.

1554
02:04:38,514 --> 02:04:40,821
[all laughing]
Or...

1555
02:04:42,562 --> 02:04:43,911
you can join me.

1556
02:04:45,216 --> 02:04:47,523
And fight for a freedom
far beyond these walls.

1557
02:04:47,697 --> 02:04:49,220
[all] Aye!

1558
02:04:49,394 --> 02:04:53,529
There once was a time when
honor meant something in Rome.

1559
02:04:55,226 --> 02:04:56,750
In this Rome

1560
02:04:57,664 --> 02:04:59,753
I no longer believe
that exists.

1561
02:04:59,927 --> 02:05:01,842
We must find it!

1562
02:05:02,016 --> 02:05:04,018
[all murmuring in agreement]

1563
02:05:04,192 --> 02:05:05,846
[Lucius] And know this:

1564
02:05:07,195 --> 02:05:10,938
Where death is, we are not.

1565
02:05:12,940 --> 02:05:14,855
Where we are,

1566
02:05:15,595 --> 02:05:17,335
death is not!

1567
02:05:20,338 --> 02:05:21,601
By my sword.

1568
02:05:23,516 --> 02:05:25,213
Strength and honor.

1569
02:05:25,387 --> 02:05:27,215
[all] Strength and honor!

1570
02:05:27,389 --> 02:05:28,999
Strength and honor!

1571
02:05:29,173 --> 02:05:31,001
Strength and honor!

1572
02:05:40,576 --> 02:05:43,100
[indistinct shouting]

1573
02:05:43,274 --> 02:05:45,146
[growling]

1574
02:05:50,412 --> 02:05:52,545
[snarling]

1575
02:05:55,722 --> 02:05:57,767
Let it not be said

1576
02:05:57,941 --> 02:06:00,988
that the emperor
is not merciful.

1577
02:06:01,162 --> 02:06:06,602
The queen will be granted
a single gladiator

1578
02:06:06,776 --> 02:06:10,432
to defend her against
the Praetorian Guard.

1579
02:06:10,606 --> 02:06:12,782
[crowd jeering]

1580
02:06:20,485 --> 02:06:24,402
The champion, Hanno!

1581
02:06:24,577 --> 02:06:26,579
[crowd roars]

1582
02:06:28,363 --> 02:06:31,845
[people chanting]
Hanno! Hanno! Hanno!

1583
02:06:51,212 --> 02:06:53,388
[all booing]

1584
02:07:24,941 --> 02:07:26,813
[all shouting]

1585
02:07:35,517 --> 02:07:37,301
[grunting]

1586
02:07:37,475 --> 02:07:39,216
Yes!

1587
02:07:43,438 --> 02:07:45,266
Summon the cavalry.
Put this down at once.

1588
02:07:46,789 --> 02:07:49,183
This is war! Real war!

1589
02:07:54,188 --> 02:07:57,539
The army of Acacius
is advancing
just outside of Rome, sir.

1590
02:08:00,194 --> 02:08:01,586
We can still
outflank them.

1591
02:08:01,761 --> 02:08:04,067
They have only
5,000 troops, no more.

1592
02:08:05,416 --> 02:08:06,853
How many are we?

1593
02:08:07,027 --> 02:08:08,332
Six thousand.
Perhaps more.

1594
02:08:08,506 --> 02:08:10,073
Ride to the gate
and hold them.

1595
02:08:10,247 --> 02:08:12,162
[aggressive grunting]

1596
02:08:20,214 --> 02:08:21,650
[cheering]

1597
02:08:35,577 --> 02:08:36,883
[screams]

1598
02:08:37,057 --> 02:08:39,146
[yelps, whimpering]

1599
02:08:45,152 --> 02:08:46,109
[screams]

1600
02:08:46,283 --> 02:08:48,764
[all shouting angrily]

1601
02:08:52,681 --> 02:08:53,987
[screams]

1602
02:08:56,337 --> 02:08:58,078
[arrow whistles][grunts]

1603
02:09:01,908 --> 02:09:02,952
Filthy scum!

1604
02:09:16,836 --> 02:09:18,359
[Lucilla] Lucius!

1605
02:09:20,143 --> 02:09:21,188
Give me the bow.

1606
02:09:24,582 --> 02:09:26,193
[bow creaking]

1607
02:09:30,806 --> 02:09:32,895
[both gasp]

1608
02:09:44,994 --> 02:09:47,431
Go, my son. Lucius--

1609
02:09:47,605 --> 02:09:48,650
Shh-sh-sh-sh...

1610
02:09:48,824 --> 02:09:50,217
Horse!

1611
02:09:50,391 --> 02:09:52,523
[people shouting, clamoring]

1612
02:09:57,572 --> 02:09:59,617
[yelling furiously]

1613
02:10:12,239 --> 02:10:14,110
[indistinct shouts]

1614
02:10:15,242 --> 02:10:17,070
[feet marching]

1615
02:10:17,244 --> 02:10:19,724
[man shouting cadence]

1616
02:11:23,005 --> 02:11:25,051
Will nothing
kill this barbarian?

1617
02:11:25,225 --> 02:11:27,705
My name is
Lucius Verus Aurelius!

1618
02:11:27,880 --> 02:11:30,143
[Macrinus]
A man does not become
emperor by bloodline alone.

1619
02:11:30,317 --> 02:11:32,972
It must be taken by force
and kept by force.

1620
02:11:33,146 --> 02:11:34,930
Are you such a man
as this?

1621
02:11:35,104 --> 02:11:36,453
[Lucius]
I don't fight for power.

1622
02:11:36,627 --> 02:11:39,282
I fight to free Rome
from men like you

1623
02:11:39,456 --> 02:11:40,893
and to return it to them.

1624
02:11:41,067 --> 02:11:43,808
The gods themselves
want Rome reborn.

1625
02:11:43,983 --> 02:11:46,855
They sent me...
to fulfill that task.

1626
02:11:47,029 --> 02:11:50,467
And what if your gods
sent me here to kill you?

1627
02:11:50,641 --> 02:11:51,686
Huh?

1628
02:11:52,861 --> 02:11:55,037
It's time to end this, Macrinus!

1629
02:11:55,211 --> 02:11:57,126
[aggressive yell]

1630
02:12:03,132 --> 02:12:05,178
[horses bellowing]

1631
02:12:15,579 --> 02:12:18,191
[both grunting]

1632
02:12:19,801 --> 02:12:21,194
[swords clashing]

1633
02:12:21,368 --> 02:12:22,935
[both yelling]

1634
02:12:31,117 --> 02:12:33,336
Hah![screams]

1635
02:12:34,424 --> 02:12:35,295
[grunts]

1636
02:12:51,441 --> 02:12:53,095
[blade clanging
against breastplate]

1637
02:13:00,059 --> 02:13:03,062
[metallic clangs echoing]

1638
02:13:03,236 --> 02:13:04,715
[Lucilla]
Strength and honor,

1639
02:13:05,325 --> 02:13:06,848
my son.

1640
02:13:09,198 --> 02:13:10,243
[grunts]

1641
02:13:23,778 --> 02:13:24,997
[yelling]

1642
02:13:26,868 --> 02:13:28,000
[groans in pain]

1643
02:13:55,418 --> 02:13:56,680
[panting]

1644
02:13:56,854 --> 02:13:58,682
[pained groan]

1645
02:14:40,202 --> 02:14:41,943
You look to me to speak.

1646
02:14:44,163 --> 02:14:45,773
I know not what
to say other than

1647
02:14:45,947 --> 02:14:47,949
we have all known
too much death.

1648
02:14:49,211 --> 02:14:52,693
Let no more blood be spilt
in the name of tyranny.

1649
02:14:56,653 --> 02:14:59,134
My grandfather,
Marcus Aurelius,

1650
02:14:59,308 --> 02:15:02,094
talked of a dream
that would be Rome.

1651
02:15:03,138 --> 02:15:05,053
A dream that my father,

1652
02:15:06,272 --> 02:15:09,013
Maximus Decimus Meridius,

1653
02:15:09,188 --> 02:15:10,711
died for.

1654
02:15:11,929 --> 02:15:13,540
An ideal.

1655
02:15:16,325 --> 02:15:20,590
A city for the many
and a refuge
for those in need.

1656
02:15:20,764 --> 02:15:23,245
A home worth fighting for.

1657
02:15:24,377 --> 02:15:28,642
A home that Maximus
spent his life defending.

1658
02:15:30,731 --> 02:15:32,559
That dream is lost.

1659
02:15:38,521 --> 02:15:40,132
But dare we...

1660
02:15:41,698 --> 02:15:44,310
rebuild that dream
together?

1661
02:15:56,235 --> 02:15:58,019
What say you?

1662
02:16:04,373 --> 02:16:06,201
Aye!

1663
02:16:07,376 --> 02:16:08,682
Aye!

1664
02:16:09,422 --> 02:16:10,597
Aye!

1665
02:16:10,771 --> 02:16:15,123
[all] Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!

1666
02:16:17,430 --> 02:16:20,824
[all chanting]

1667
02:17:19,796 --> 02:17:21,015
Mother.

1668
02:18:13,589 --> 02:18:15,765
Speak to me, Father.
