{14246}{14335}Get up, Spartacus,|you Thracian dog!
{14337}{14392}Come on, get up!
{14394}{14476}My ankle, my ankle!
{14478}{14526}My ankle!
{14752}{14826}Spartacus again?|This time he dies.
{14865}{14927}Back to work, all ofyou!
{15375}{15477}- Welcome, Lentulus Batiatus.|- Welcome, indeed, my dear captain.
{15606}{15667}Eleven miles|through the disastrous heat...
{15669}{15763}and the cost|of hiring an escort-- ruinous.
{15765}{15863}Even so, I warrant you have nothing|fit to sell me, have you, Captain?
{15865}{15954}I've wasted my time and my money.|Tell me the truth.
{15956}{16007}I think we have a few|you might be interested in.
{16009}{16124}What, these? Carrion!|The buzzards are late.
{16126}{16190}This one here's not bad.|He's a Gaul.
{16192}{16256}I don't like Gauls. Hairy.
{16303}{16388}-Can he come down from there unassisted?|-Come down, you!
{16408}{16458}Come down!
{16553}{16606}Be good enough|to show me the teeth.
{16608}{16680}- Open your mouth!|- Thankyou.
{16737}{16817}Yes. As the teeth go,|so go the bones.
{16819}{16903}This mouth is|really impermissible.
{16905}{16998}- The fellow's made ofchalk.|- We have others. Many others!
{17129}{17211}The sun's over there.|I have to pay these people.
{17255}{17295}Who's that?
{17297}{17385}This one's a Thracian.|I'm making an example of him.
{17387}{17458}- How?|- Starve him to death.
{17460}{17513}It's the only thing impresses slaves.
{17515}{17565}What a pity.
{17630}{17748}He reacts. Good muscle tone.|Can I see his teeth?
{17750}{17821}Open your mouth, Spartacus!
{17823}{17884}You smell like a rhinoceros.
{17963}{18054}Captain, you asked him to open|his mouth. He doesn't obey you?
{18056}{18106}His teeth are|the best thing about him.
{18108}{18168}He hamstrung a guard with them|not more than an hour ago.
{18170}{18230}Hamstrung? How marvellous!|I wish I'd been here.
{18232}{18298}I'll take him.|Let's look at some ofthe others.
{18477}{18527}Come along!
{20007}{20112}In spite ofsickness and death,|we will profit 1 1 ,000 sesterces!
{20114}{20167}Including your commission,|ofcourse.
{20169}{20250}No, sir.|Without my commission.
{20317}{20367}Marcellus, there they are.
{20369}{20428}They're a dirty-looking lot,|but it's the best I could find.
{20430}{20494}No one else could have made|so fine a choice.
{20612}{20657}Slaves...
{20659}{20760}you have arrived at the gladiatorial|school of Lentulus Batiatus.
{20762}{20860}Here you will be trained by experts|to fight in pairs to the death.
{20862}{20931}Obviously, you won't be required|to fight to the death here.
{20933}{20983}That will only be|afteryou've been sold...
{20985}{21035}and then for ladies|and gentlemen ofquality...
{21037}{21098}those who appreciate|a fine kill.
{21129}{21212}A gladiator's like a stallion:|He must be pampered.
{21214}{21267}You'll be oiled, bathed...
{21269}{21366}shaved, massaged,|taught to use your heads.
{21394}{21482}A good body with a dull brain|is as cheap as life itself!
{21484}{21534}You'll be given|your ceremonial caudas.
{21536}{21586}Marcellus, please. There.
{21617}{21667}Be proud ofthem.
{21669}{21757}On certain special occasions,|those ofyou who please me...
{21759}{21846}will even be given|the companionship ofa young lady.
{21882}{21936}Approximately halfour graduates...
{21938}{22009}live for five, ten-- ten years.
{22012}{22090}Some ofthem|even attain freedom...
{22092}{22137}and become trainers themselves.
{22139}{22186}Marcellus.
{22188}{22299}I congratulate you.|And may fortune smile on most ofyou.
{22410}{22494}Marcellus, watch the second|from the right.
{22496}{22557}He's a Thracian. They were going|to kill him for hamstringing a guard.
{22559}{22666}- We'll break him ofthat.|- Don't overdo it. He has quality.
{22811}{22856}Next.
{23007}{23052}Next.
{23217}{23267}I like you.
{23297}{23347}I want you|to be my friend.
{23381}{23431}I want to be your friend.
{23448}{23536}All I ask is that|you get along with me.
{23581}{23640}What's your name, slave?
{23642}{23682}Spartacus.
{23724}{23775}I feel you don't like me.
{23933}{23983}Give him your sword.
{24059}{24104}Take it!
{24269}{24339}I have a feeling|you want to kill me.
{24373}{24440}This is the only chance|you'll ever get.
{24442}{24487}Kill me!
{24515}{24575}Don't be afraid, slave.
{24577}{24630}You have that sword.
{24632}{24699}I only have|this piece ofwood!
{24748}{24805}Are you going|to disobey me?
{24924}{24969}Take his sword.
{24999}{25050}You're not as stupid|as I thought.
{25052}{25111}You might even be intelligent.
{25113}{25170}That's dangerous for slaves.
{25172}{25222}You just remember...
{25224}{25309}from now on, everything you do,|I'll be watching.
{26074}{26133}You did the right thing.
{26135}{26239}Every once in a while, Marcellus likes|to kill a man as an example.
{26241}{26331}I think he's picked you.|Better watch him.
{26414}{26483}- How long have you been here?|- Six months.
{26485}{26535}I wish he'd pick me.
{26537}{26615}I want one chance at that pig|before they carry me out!
{26617}{26675}Quiet!|No talking down there.
{26713}{26793}You'll get us all in trouble,|just like in the mines.
{26938}{27001}What's your name?
{27003}{27059}You don't want|to know my name.
{27061}{27124}I don't want|to know your name.
{27140}{27191}Just a friendly question.
{27193}{27252}Gladiators don't make friends.
{27254}{27318}Ifwe're ever matched|in the arena together...
{27320}{27370}I'll have to kill you.
{28057}{28102}Helena...
{28139}{28184}with Galino.
{28279}{28324}Patricia...
{28364}{28410}Crixus.
{28464}{28510}Priscilla...
{28562}{28609}David.
{28698}{28743}Claudia...
{28763}{28809}Pharox.
{28915}{28961}Varinia...
{28973}{29055}- Dionysius.|- No, no. Spartacus.
{29121}{29166}Spartacus.
{29253}{29302}Felicia--
{30956}{31010}I've never had a woman.
{31613}{31690}You have one now, Spartacus.|You must take her.
{31692}{31743}- Go away.|- What will she think ofyou?
{31745}{31795}Indeed, what will I think ofyou?
{31797}{31848}Go away.
{31850}{31955}Come, come. Be generous.|We must learn to share our pleasures.
{31996}{32055}I'm not an animal!
{32057}{32133}You're not trying to escape,|by any chance?
{32135}{32200}Direct your courage|to the girl, Spartacus.
{32266}{32316}I'm not an animal!
{32449}{32537}- I'm not an animal.|- Neither am I.
{33413}{33460}What's your name?
{33521}{33561}Varinia.
{33621}{33671}You'll have to take her|out of here, Marcellus.
{33673}{33723}You may not be|an animal, Spartacus...
{33725}{33786}but this sorry show|gives me very little hope...
{33788}{33858}that you'll ever be a man.
{36380}{36431}First rule:
{36433}{36482}You get an instant kill|on the red.
{36484}{36546}Here. Here.
{36576}{36626}Always remember:|Go for the red first...
{36628}{36699}because ifyou don't,|your opponent will.
{36701}{36755}In the blue,|you get a cripple.
{36757}{36824}Here, here...
{36826}{36872}here and here.
{36901}{36951}Second rule:
{36953}{37012}Go for the cripple|before the slow kill.
{37014}{37064}Here's a slow kill|on the yellow.
{37094}{37159}Here, here...
{37161}{37203}and here.
{37205}{37244}Remember...
{37246}{37328}A slow kill may have enough left|in him to kill you before he dies.
{37330}{37380}With a cripple,|you know you've got him...
{37382}{37426}ifyou keep your distance|and wear him down.
{37428}{37501}The rest is all right|for a public spectacle in Rome...
{37503}{37583}but here at Capua we expect|more than simple butchery...
{37585}{37635}and we get it.
{37662}{37761}Spartacus, why are you looking|at that girl?
{37783}{37835}Varinia! Stand still.
{37979}{38053}Since all he can do|is look at girls...
{38055}{38128}all right, slave,|go ahead and look.
{38187}{38232}I said look!
{39209}{39279}No. No, this one|goes to the Spaniard.
{39463}{39513}Have a good night's rest,|Spartacus.
{39683}{39728}In there.
{40781}{40835}Woman!
{40837}{40887}I've warned you|about this kind ofthing.
{41013}{41063}All right, bring them in.
{41537}{41612}No talking!|Move along there.
{43123}{43173}Did they hurt you?
{43324}{43371}No.
{44382}{44428}That's a kill.
{44430}{44483}One, two...
{44485}{44555}three, four, five.
{44571}{44661}One, two, three, four.
{46002}{46060}We have visitors.|Tremendous visitors!
{46062}{46140}Two simply enormous Roman lords|on the hill.
{46142}{46193}How easily impressed|you are, Ramon.
{46195}{46245}Just 'cause they're Romans,|I suppose they're enormous.
{46247}{46298}Tell them to wait for me|when they arrive.
{46300}{46377}-Master, you don't understand!|-How enormous do these Roman lords get?
{46379}{46451}One ofthem is|Marcus Licinius Crassus.
{46453}{46501}What? Wait a minute.
{46503}{46585}Crassus here? Varinia,|my red toga with the acorns.
{46587}{46655}And some chairs in the atrium.|Second-best wine.
{46657}{46727}No, the best,|but small goblets.
{46729}{46779}Gracchus! You know|how Crassus loathes him.
{46810}{46874}Take him away.
{46876}{46960}- I can't lift it.|- Use your imagination! Cover him.
{46962}{47022}Tell Marcellus|to get the men ready.
{47024}{47080}Crassus has expensive taste.|He'll want a show ofsome sort.
{47082}{47133}Forgive me, Gracchus.
{47730}{47786}Marcus Licinius Crassus...
{47788}{47833}most noble radiance...
{47835}{47891}first general ofthe Republic...
{47893}{47958}father and defender of Rome...
{47960}{48045}honour my house.|Bless it with your presence.
{48256}{48373}Wine! Sweetmeats! Can't you see|that Their Honours are exhausted?
{48455}{48509}Have the goodness to sit.
{48633}{48684}Is anything wrong,|Your Nobility?
{48710}{48755}No.
{48764}{48830}Welcome|to the Lady Claudia Maria...
{48832}{48922}former wife|of Lucius Caius Marius...
{48924}{49023}whose recent execution|touched us all so deeply.
{49025}{49073}Honour to the Lady Helena...
{49075}{49138}daughter ofthe late|Septimus Optimus Glabrus...
{49140}{49227}whose fame shall live on forever|in the person of his son...
{49229}{49353}your brother,|Marcus Publius Glabrus...
{49355}{49406}hero ofthe Eastern Wars.
{49408}{49463}How very much he knows.
{49465}{49522}Allow me to bring you|up to date.
{49524}{49614}We're here to celebrate the marriage|of my brother to the Lady Claudia.
{49616}{49682}A mating ofeagles,|Your Sanctity!
{49684}{49738}Fan His Magnitude.|He sweats.
{49740}{49821}My young friends desire|a private showing oftwo pairs.
{49823}{49875}Two pairs. Oh, yes.
{49877}{49947}I think I have something|that would please them.
{49949}{50046}- Two pairs to the death.|- To the death, Your Ladyship?
{50048}{50163}Surely you don't think we came|all the way to Capua for gymnastics?
{50185}{50236}But I beg Your Honours.
{50238}{50328}Here in Capua we train|the finest gladiators in all Italy.
{50330}{50380}We can give you a display|ofswordsmanship...
{50382}{50446}which is better than anything|you can see in Rome at any cost.
{50448}{50516}When they're sold, their new masters|may do with them as they wish...
{50518}{50599}but here, no, we never fight them|to the death.
{50615}{50660}Crassus.
{50662}{50712}Today is an exception.
{50714}{50811}But the ill feeling it would spread|through the whole school.
{50813}{50888}And then the cost. The cost!
{50890}{50940}Name your price.
{50982}{51054}25,000 sesterces.
{51071}{51122}Arrange it.
{51136}{51186}Are you serious, sir?
{51216}{51261}Arrange it immediately.
{51299}{51362}Ofcourse, we shall want|to choose them ourselves.
{51364}{51441}You do have a certain variety,|don't you?
{51443}{51489}Yes. Inexhaustible.
{51664}{51748}Spartacus, there's going to be|a fight to the death.
{51750}{51792}- To the death?|- How do you know?
{51794}{51850}I heard Marcellus|tell one of his guards.
{51852}{51903}- Who fights?|- I don't know.
{51975}{52025}To the death.
{52083}{52141}What ifthey matched|you and me?
{52163}{52213}They won't.
{52215}{52269}What ifthey did?
{52271}{52321}Would you fight?
{52372}{52427}I'd have to. So would you.
{52449}{52500}Would you try to kill me?
{52540}{52590}Yes, I'd kill.
{52599}{52644}I'd try to save--
{52646}{52718}I'd try to stay alive|and so would you.
{52720}{52788}All gladiators|up to the training area.
{52790}{52852}Some visitors|want to admire you.
{52960}{53016}Form a line|right here in front of me.
{53018}{53120}Would Your Excellencies care|to make your selection now?
{53163}{53208}Claudia.
{53423}{53474}They're magnificent.
{53476}{53526}Foryou, Lady Helena...
{53528}{53601}may I suggest Praxus?
{53626}{53671}A veritable tiger.
{53704}{53755}I don't like him.
{53901}{53951}- I prefer that one.|- Which one?
{53979}{54024}David?
{54026}{54109}Crixus, yes.
{54111}{54181}Marcellus, Crixus|for the short sword.
{54289}{54342}Have you ever seen such a pair|ofshoulders? Dionysius!
{54396}{54485}I admit he's small, but he's very|compact and extremely strong.
{54487}{54532}In fact, he looks--
{54534}{54625}He looks smaller here|than he does in the actual arena.
{54669}{54715}Optical.
{54736}{54806}- Give me that one.|- Galino.
{54808}{54857}Yes, yes. Galino.
{54859}{54959}You have a shrewd eye, Your Pulchritude,|if I may permit myselfthe--
{55013}{55120}Practically every man in this school|is an expert with a Thracian sword...
{55122}{55197}but the trident is something|very rare these days.
{55199}{55253}May I suggest...
{55276}{55326}the Ethiopian?
{55356}{55440}There are very few Ethiopians|in the country.
{55442}{55536}Ethiopians are recognized|as masters ofthe trident.
{55685}{55735}I'll take him.
{55737}{55821}Draba? Oh, no.|Foryou I want only the best--
{55823}{55893}I want the most beautiful.
{55895}{55945}I'll take the big black one.
{55965}{56005}Very good.
{56060}{56111}Only one man|in the entire school...
{56113}{56238}stands a chance with the Thracian knife|against the trident.
{56240}{56289}There.
{56291}{56355}- Over there, Lady Helena.|- He's impertinent!
{56388}{56486}- I'll take him.|- Impertinent, and a coward to boot.
{56488}{56537}Have him flogged!
{56539}{56632}Over there, Lady Helena.|The beast of Libya.
{56644}{56717}I prefer the coward.
{56795}{56860}If both men are down|and refuse to continue to fight...
{56862}{56913}your trainer will slit their throats|like chickens.
{56915}{57000}- We want no tricks.|- Tricks? At the school of Batiatus?
{57002}{57098}You heard the instruction, Marcellus?|Remember it.
{57100}{57180}I feel so sorry for the poor things|in all this heat.
{57182}{57244}Don't put them|in those suffocating tunics.
{57246}{57308}Let them wearjust enough|for modesty.
{57310}{57392}Whatever they wear, Lady,|they'll bless your name.
{57419}{57473}Back, the rest ofyou!
{57475}{57548}- Our choosing has bored you?|- No.
{57550}{57601}Most exciting. I tingle.
{57603}{57653}Do let's get out ofthe sun.
{57655}{57745}May I conduct Your Magnificences|to the gallery now?
{58029}{58091}An eavesdropper.|Oh, the god!
{58140}{58216}How far from Rome must I go|to avoid that cunning face?
{58218}{58296}Crassus, don't talk about Gracchus.|He's so hateful.
{58298}{58358}For Gracchus, hatred ofthe patrician|class is a profession...
{58360}{58410}and not such a bad one, either.
{58412}{58466}How else can one become|master ofthe mob...
{58468}{58524}and first senator of Rome?
{58526}{58589}Crassus, it's so boring.
{58714}{58768}I believe that girl smells|of perfume.
{58770}{58860}Whatever it is,|she smells most delectable.
{58862}{58948}You can't keep slaves from stealing|these days unless you chain them.
{58950}{59024}When a slave's as pretty as she is,|she doesn't have to steal.
{59026}{59081}An arrangement is made.
{59083}{59148}If her ankles are good...
{59150}{59224}you could be sure|an arrangement was made!
{59297}{59365}- Master!|- Good heavens, a catastrophe!
{59367}{59421}- I've been anointed!|- You trollop!
{59423}{59510}- I believe you did that on purpose.|- It was an accident. Come here, girl.
{59628}{59686}Don't be frightened.
{59688}{59761}- What country are you from?|- Britannia.
{59763}{59831}How long have you been|a slave?
{59889}{59939}Since I was thirteen.
{59988}{60045}You have a certain education.
{60047}{60122}My first master had me tutored|for his children.
{60270}{60363}I like her. She has spirit.
{60365}{60432}- I'll buy her.|- Buy her, Your Magnificence?
{60434}{60492}I have spent|quite a lot of money on her.
{60494}{60550}Yes, I've no doubt of it.|Two thousand sesterces.
{60552}{60607}Two thou--|She'll be waiting at your litter.
{60609}{60668}No, I don't want her feet|spoilt by walking.
{60700}{60782}Send her to Rome with your steward|the next time he has to go there.
{60784}{60834}He leaves tomorrow|and the girl with him.
{60836}{60936}More wine.|And thankyour gods!
{60938}{60999}You provoke me, Crassus.|I shan't be nice to you any more!
{61001}{61076}- Why distress me so much?|- You're horribly rich.
{61078}{61127}Yet you're the only one|of my brother's friends...
{61129}{61205}who hasn't given him|a wedding present.
{61296}{61362}I was saving it|for a more suitable moment.
{61383}{61438}Here. Give it to him, child.
{61440}{61485}What is it?
{61487}{61577}As from this moment, your husband|is commander ofthe garrison of Rome.
{61615}{61665}Wonderful!
{61723}{61793}I don't know how I shall|ever be able to repay you.
{61795}{61846}Time will solve that mystery.
{61911}{61976}- The garrison of Rome.|- Yes.
{61978}{62071}The only power in Rome strong enough|to checkmate Gracchus and his senate.
{62073}{62123}You are clever!
{62406}{62452}Open up.
{62952}{63002}Through that door.
{63346}{63397}But you will have|to watch him, Claudia.
{63399}{63459}Father almost disinherited him|because ofslave girls.
{63461}{63549}The marriage contract|absolutely forbids a harem.
{63551}{63626}What about your litter bearers?
{63628}{63681}After all, every one ofthem|is under 20...
{63683}{63734}and taller than they should be.
{63736}{63797}She sets rather a high standard|foryou, does she ?
{63799}{63864}Your pleasure, Your Highness.
{63886}{64008}To you, my dear, shall go the honour|ofstarting this poetic drama.
{64089}{64136}Open up!
{64274}{64329}First pair:|Crixus and Galino!
{64775}{64845}Those who are about to die|salute you.
{67197}{67242}Crixus.
{67476}{67522}Next pair!
{68055}{68117}Those who are about to die,|salute you.
{69424}{69469}Your Thracian's doing well.
{69471}{69555}How were you able to get my appointment|without Gracchus knowing?
{69557}{69650}I fought fire with oil.|I purchased the senate behind his back.
{69652}{69711}I still think|the trident's going to win.
{71804}{71865}- Why doesn't he kill him?|- Kill him.
{71903}{71953}What's the matter now?
{71978}{72071}- Kill him!|- Kill him, you imbecile!
{74666}{74720}He'll hang there till he rots.
{76978}{77038}Take a last look, Spartacus.
{77040}{77087}She's going to Rome.|She's been sold.
{77163}{77214}She's been sold?
{77275}{77327}No talking|in the kitchen, slave.
{78617}{78711}There's trouble in the mess hall.|They killed Marcellus and maybe others.
{78713}{78763}Call out the guard!
{78765}{78818}Move, move!
{78856}{78933}On second thoughts,|I'll deliver the girl personally.
{78935}{79011}Ride to Capua. Call out the garrison.|I don't trust this lot.
{79013}{79075}- I hold you responsible.|- Yes, sir.
{83275}{83353}Around Capua,|they ravaged the countryside...
{83355}{83412}forcing other slaves tojoin them.
{83414}{83499}Looting, robbing,|burning everything...
{83501}{83639}while they make their camp|in the escarpments ofVesuvius.
{83641}{83722}Each day swells their numbers.
{83724}{83797}The situation presently lies|in the hands...
{83799}{83849}ofthis august body.
{83924}{83974}Where's the mighty Crassus?
{84002}{84052}- Out ofthe city.|- At least you're here.
{84054}{84135}No need to fear for Rome|as long as Glabrus is with us.
{84137}{84253}Let me add: Over 1 00 estates|have been burned...
{84255}{84326}among them, gentlemen,|my own...
{84328}{84437}burned to the ground|and three million sesterces lost.
{84439}{84547}I propose the immediate recall|of Pompey and his legions from Spain.
{84549}{84642}- I could bring them in with 500 men!|- Don't make a fool ofyourself.
{84644}{84743}Why call back the legions...
{84745}{84806}when the garrison of Rome|has nothing to do...
{84808}{84903}but to defend us|from sausage makers?
{84905}{84956}Let's send Glabrus|against these scoundrels!
{84958}{85008}Give 'em a taste of Roman steel.
{85101}{85177}I protest.|I most strongly protest.
{85179}{85229}There are more slaves|in Rome than Romans.
{85231}{85341}With the garrison absent,|what's to prevent them from rising too?
{85343}{85421}I did not say|the whole garrison.
{85423}{85484}Six cohorts will|more than do thejob.
{85486}{85573}The rest can stay in Rome|to save you from your housemaids.
{85628}{85678}Will you accept|such a charge, Glabrus?
{85811}{85867}I accept the charge|ofthe senate...
{85869}{85933}ifthe senate truly charges me.
{85954}{86031}The garrison of Rome|stands ready.
{86151}{86210}Slave hunting's a dirty business.
{86212}{86264}It takes a brave commander|to consent to it.
{86266}{86316}I propose we turn|the city out tomorrow...
{86318}{86385}in tribute to Glabrus|as he marches through.
{86453}{86500}And...
{86502}{86579}for temporary command|ofthe garrison during his absence...
{86581}{86667}I propose CaiusJulius Caesar.
{87036}{87129}You don't look very happy|over the newjob.
{87131}{87197}It's not a serious disturbance.|Glabrus will be back.
{87199}{87256}Maybe.
{87258}{87308}At least it gives me a chance...
{87310}{87373}to separate Glabrus|from Crassus for a while.
{87375}{87493}You know, this republic ofours|is something like a rich widow.
{87495}{87548}Most Romans love her|as their mother.
{87550}{87644}But Crassus dreams of marrying|the old girl, to put it politely.
{87666}{87724}Hail Glabrus!|Hail Glabrus!
{87866}{87955}- God be with you, Glabrus.|- And with you too.
{88088}{88180}I hope he returns|to such applause.
{88182}{88245}One fat one, Fimbria!
{88374}{88440}No, keep the change.|Give it to your wife.
{88442}{88538}- May the gods adore you.|- Only through your prayers.
{88540}{88645}Let's make an old-fashioned sacrifice|for Glabrus' success.
{88647}{88696}I thought you had reservations|about the gods.
{88698}{88753}Privately I believe in none ofthem.|Neither do you.
{88755}{88805}Publicly I believe in them all.
{88807}{88863}Greetings, Marcus Clodius Flavius!
{89568}{89618}Is Marcus Glabrus in attendance?
{89620}{89675}- He awaits you in the atrium, sir.|- Excellent.
{89725}{89775}What have we here?
{89777}{89832}A gift from the governor|ofSicily, sir.
{90189}{90239}Antoninus.
{90241}{90312}Sicilian, age 26.
{90314}{90372}Singer ofsongs.
{90374}{90434}For whom did you practice|this wondrous talent?
{90436}{90493}For the children of my master...
{90495}{90547}whom I also taught|the classics.
{90549}{90604}Classics, indeed.
{90606}{90726}What position have we, I wonder,|for a boy ofsuch varied gifts?
{90760}{90810}You shall be my body servant.|Instruct him.
{90812}{90861}All ofyou, come with me.
{91222}{91273}Are you on guard duty?
{91339}{91400}My dear Crassus,|congratulate me.
{91402}{91489}Or better still,|let us congratulate each other.
{91500}{91552}I congratulate us.
{91554}{91612}Tomorrow I lead six cohorts|ofthe garrison...
{91614}{91664}against the slaves on Vesuvius.
{91666}{91723}The whole city|is turning out to see us off.
{91725}{91787}Great merciful|bloodstained gods!
{91806}{91855}Your pardon.
{91857}{91948}I always address heaven|in moments oftriumph.
{91950}{92018}Did Gracchus have something|to do with this brilliant affair?
{92020}{92104}Yes, he even proposed it.|Rather decently, too.
{92106}{92172}And you? Do you think I made you|commander ofthe garrison...
{92174}{92256}to control some rock patch|on Vesuvius?
{92258}{92308}It was to control|the streets of Rome!
{92310}{92403}I only take six cohorts.|The rest ofthe garrison remains.
{92405}{92463}- Under whose command?|- Under Caesar's.
{92465}{92531}Excellent, excellent!
{92533}{92592}Finding Gracchus in control|ofthe mob and the senate...
{92594}{92681}you felt compelled to hand over|the garrison to him also.
{92712}{92757}I see.
{92759}{92846}I'll refuse. I'll withdraw|from the expedition.
{92848}{92898}One ofthe disadvantages|of being a patrician...
{92900}{92963}is that occasionally|you're obliged to act like one.
{92965}{93017}You pledged the senate to go,|and go you must.
{93019}{93074}If Gracchus should decide|to move against you--
{93076}{93128}He won't!|Has no need to.
{93130}{93220}He has, with your assistance,|immobilized me altogether.
{93251}{93312}Your legions are still in camp|outside the city walls?
{93347}{93397}My legions?
{93399}{93460}Do you truly believe I'd order|my legions to enter Rome?
{93462}{93525}I only point out that|you can ifyou have to.
{93527}{93586}Are you not aware|of Rome's most ancient law...
{93588}{93665}that no general may enter the city|at the head of his armed legions?
{93667}{93759}- Sulla did.|- Sulla? To the infamy of his name!
{93761}{93823}To the utter damnation|of his line!
{93852}{93902}No, my young friend.
{93930}{94026}One day I shall cleanse this Rome|which my fathers bequeathed me.
{94028}{94138}I shall restore all the traditions|that made her great.
{94140}{94208}It follows, then, that I cannot come|to power or even defend myself...
{94210}{94308}by an act which betrays|the most sacred tradition ofthem all.
{94310}{94400}I shall not bring my legions|within these walls.
{94417}{94492}I shall not violate Rome...
{94494}{94548}at the moment|of possessing her.
{94627}{94658}Go.
{94693}{94743}Prepare your troops|at once.
{94745}{94849}March out of Rome tonight,|but the city tribute is impossible.
{94851}{94948}We've already been made to look a fool.|Let's not add the trappings ofa clown.
{94950}{95048}Leave by unfrequented streets,|without fanfare, without even a drum!
{95083}{95133}Sneak out.
{95167}{95218}As you wish.
{95220}{95276}And for heaven's sake,|my young friend...
{95278}{95360}try and see to it that you don't have|to sneak back again.
{95384}{95429}Farewell.
{98893}{98943}Come on, fat boy!
{100016}{100066}Noble Romans...
{100068}{100124}fighting each other|like animals!
{100149}{100206}Your new masters,|betting to see who'll die first.
{100290}{100340}Drop your swords.
{100500}{100589}I want to see their blood|right over here where Draba died!
{100642}{100696}When I fight matched pairs,|they fight to the death.
{100752}{100815}I made myselfa promise, Crixus.
{100817}{100867}I swore that|if I ever got out ofthis place...
{100869}{100952}I'd die before I'd watch|two men fight to the death again.
{101033}{101088}Draba made that promise too.
{101120}{101170}He kept it.
{101176}{101221}So will I.
{101311}{101369}Go on. Get out!
{101447}{101497}What are we, Crixus?
{101499}{101561}What are we becoming?|Romans?
{101563}{101626}Have we learned nothing?|What's happening to us?
{101628}{101690}We look for wine|when we should be hunting bread.
{101692}{101762}When you've got wine,|you don't need bread!
{101795}{101864}You can'tjust be a gang|ofdrunken raiders.
{101866}{101958}- What else can we be?|- Gladiators!
{101960}{102016}An army of gladiators.
{102018}{102071}There's never been|an army like that.
{102073}{102140}One gladiator's worth|any two Roman soldiers that ever lived.
{102142}{102198}We beat the Roman guards,|but a Roman army's a different thing.
{102200}{102250}They fight different|than we do too.
{102252}{102346}We can beat anything they send|against us ifwe really want to.
{102348}{102415}- It takes a big army for that.|- We'll have a big army.
{102417}{102466}Once we're on the march...
{102468}{102521}we'll free every slave|in every town and village.
{102523}{102573}Can anybody get|a bigger army than that?
{102575}{102621}Once we cross the Alps,|we're safe!
{102623}{102704}Nobody can cross the Alps. Every pass|is defended by its own legion.
{102706}{102776}There's only one way|to get out ofthis country.
{102788}{102828}The sea.
{102830}{102897}What good is the sea|ifyou have no ships?
{102899}{102962}The Cilician pirates have ships.
{102964}{103023}They're at war with Rome.
{103025}{103100}Every Roman galley that sails|out of Brundusium pays tribute to them.
{103102}{103152}They've got the biggest fleet|in the world.
{103154}{103230}I was a galley slave with them. They'll|take you anywhere for enough gold.
{103232}{103277}We haven't got enough gold.
{103279}{103336}Take every Roman we capture|and warm his back a little.
{103338}{103424}- We'll have gold, all right.|- Spartacus is right!
{103455}{103529}Let's hire these pirates|and march straight to Brundusium!
{104653}{104724}Comejoin us.|All ofyou, comejoin us.
{105151}{105205}Come on and join us!
{105806}{105856}Back to Vesuvius!
{106349}{106394}Varinia.
{106525}{106593}I thought|I'd never see you again.
{106927}{106985}Everything's so different.
{107125}{107181}The last time I saw you...
{107207}{107296}you were waiting|in the arena to--
{107471}{107524}I thought|you were in Rome.
{107641}{107686}How'd you escape?
{107752}{107800}I jumped out ofthe cart...
{107802}{107853}and Batiatus was so fat--
{108116}{108182}I flew out ofthe cart...
{108213}{108272}and Batiatus was so fat...
{108274}{108325}that he couldn't catch me.
{108344}{108396}He couldn't catch up with me.
{108414}{108463}Do you realize...
{108465}{108538}nobody can ever sell you again?
{108540}{108590}Nobody can sell you.
{108592}{108646}- Or give you away.|- Or give you away.
{108648}{108700}Nobody can ever make you|stay with anybody.
{108702}{108772}Nobody can make you|stay with anybody.
{108832}{108900}I love you, Spartacus.
{108984}{109055}I love you.
{109129}{109192}I still can't believe it.
{109239}{109337}Forbid me ever to leave you.
{109478}{109528}I do forbid you.
{109565}{109612}I forbid you.
{110340}{110413}It was funny at the time.|I wish he'd heard it.
{110415}{110470}How good you are to me,|if I may say so.
{110472}{110533}- You may.|- Thankyou.
{110535}{110585}Don'tjust eye those birds.|Eat them.
{110587}{110658}There's no need to be|on your best behaviour here.
{110660}{110722}May I remind you...
{110724}{110774}you've been very good to me|in the past?
{110776}{110826}I've been good to you?
{110828}{110970}Yes. You've sold me slaves|at an extremely reasonable price.
{110972}{111069}And you arranged private gladiatorial|jousts at cost, or practically.
{111071}{111127}On the whole, you are both|ethical in business matters...
{111129}{111224}and certainly farsighted socially.
{111226}{111282}Zenobia's put on a little weight|since I last saw her.
{111284}{111358}- Yes, hasn't she? I like it.|- So do I.
{111386}{111442}You and I have a tendency|towards corpulence.
{111444}{111534}Corpulence makes a man reasonable,|pleasant and phlegmatic.
{111536}{111641}Have you noticed the nastiest|oftyrants are invariably thin?
{111675}{111778}In spite ofyour vices, you are|the most generous Roman ofour time.
{111780}{111829}Vices?
{111861}{111906}The ladies.
{111978}{112041}Ladies!|Since when are they a vice?
{112043}{112135}Perhaps I used the wrong word.|An eccentricity, a foible.
{112137}{112195}I hope I pronounced that word--
{112197}{112269}It's well-known that even your groom|and your butler are women.
{112271}{112337}I'm the most virtuous man in Rome.
{112339}{112420}I keep these women|out of my respect for Roman morality.
{112422}{112491}That morality, which has made|Rome strong enough to steal...
{112493}{112545}two-thirds ofthe world|from its rightful owners...
{112547}{112622}founded on the sanctity|of Roman marriage and family.
{112624}{112674}I happen to like women.
{112676}{112733}I have a promiscuous nature...
{112735}{112795}and, unlike these aristocrats,|I will not take a marriage vow...
{112797}{112850}which I know my nature|will prevent me from keeping.
{112852}{112937}You have too great a respect|for the purity ofwomankind.
{112939}{112990}Exactly.
{112992}{113091}It must be tantalizing|to be surrounded by so much purity.
{113176}{113222}It is.
{113224}{113327}Now, let's mix business with pleasure.|How may I help you?
{113372}{113443}Great Gracchus,|I find it difficult to hate...
{113445}{113494}but there's one man I can't think of|without fuming.
{113496}{113541}- Who's that?|- Crassus.
{113543}{113635}- You've grown ambitious in your hatred.|- Do you blame me?
{113637}{113697}There I was, better than|a millionaire in the morning...
{113699}{113750}and a penniless refugee|by nightfall...
{113752}{113806}with nothing but these rags|and my poor flesh to call my own.
{113808}{113887}All because Crassus decides|to break hisjourney at Capua...
{113889}{113969}with a couple ofcapricious,|over-painted nymphs!
{113971}{114071}These two daughters ofVenus|had to taunt the gladiators...
{114073}{114147}force them to fight to the death,|and before I knew what had happened...
{114149}{114227}revolution on my hands!
{114229}{114279}What revenge have you in mind?
{114317}{114371}I sold Crassus this woman,|Varinia.
{114373}{114465}- Whom?|- Varinia. May the gods give her wings.
{114467}{114541}There was no contract,|but she was clearly his slave...
{114543}{114595}as soon as|the deal was made.
{114597}{114654}Now she's offwith Spartacus|killing people in their beds.
{114656}{114757}And Crassus--|no mention of money, no!
{114759}{114811}You never offered me|this woman. Why not ?
{114841}{114905}Well, she's not remotely|your type, Gracchus.
{114907}{114988}- She is very thin and--|- Look around you.
{114990}{115064}You'll see women ofall sizes.
{115098}{115163}Five hundred sesterces|deposit on Varinia.
{115165}{115228}Since he hasn't paid,|this gives me first call over Crassus...
{115230}{115281}when she's caught and auctioned.
{115283}{115351}May the gods adore you!
{115353}{115402}Why would you buy a woman|you've never even seen?
{115404}{115454}To annoy Crassus, ofcourse,|and to help you.
{115647}{115698}Fetch a stool, Antoninus.
{115845}{115895}In here with it.
{116052}{116097}That will do.
{116255}{116305}Do you steal, Antoninus?
{116307}{116353}No, master.
{116364}{116414}Do you lie?
{116424}{116474}Not if I can avoid it.
{116506}{116587}Have you ever|dishonoured the gods?
{116589}{116634}No, master.
{116653}{116769}Do you refrain from these vices|out of respect for the moral virtues?
{116771}{116816}Yes, master.
{116905}{116964}Do you eat oysters?
{116966}{117016}When I have them, master.
{117033}{117083}Do you eat snails?
{117097}{117142}No, master.
{117182}{117235}Do you consider the eating|ofoysters to be moral...
{117237}{117300}and the eating ofsnails|to be immoral?
{117344}{117397}No, master.
{117399}{117449}Ofcourse not.
{117513}{117584}It is all a matter|oftaste, isn't it?
{117586}{117631}Yes, master.
{117651}{117725}And taste is not|the same as appetite...
{117727}{117813}and therefore not a question|of morals, is it?
{117944}{118010}It could be argued so, master.
{118078}{118153}That will do.|My robe, Antoninus.
{118544}{118593}My taste includes...
{118617}{118684}both snails and oysters.
{118899}{118949}Antoninus, look.
{118972}{119022}Across the river.
{119043}{119097}There is something|you must see.
{119201}{119278}There, boy, is Rome!
{119305}{119367}The might, the majesty...
{119388}{119442}the terror of Rome.
{119497}{119600}There is the power that bestrides|the known world like a colossus.
{119628}{119680}No man can withstand Rome.
{119705}{119760}No nation can withstand her.
{119800}{119846}How much less...
{119859}{119905}a boy!
{120069}{120133}There's only one way to deal|with Rome, Antoninus.
{120164}{120215}You must serve her.
{120246}{120321}You must abase yourself|before her.
{120365}{120428}You must grovel at her feet.
{120473}{120518}You must...
{120533}{120584}love her.
{120672}{120722}Isn't that so, Antoninus?
{123195}{123255}- Take your time!|- How are they coming?
{123257}{123339}Good. Give me another thousand like them|and we can march on Rome.
{123341}{123391}Come on, once again.
{123764}{123812}Here on Vesuvius,|we're safe from attack...
{123814}{123876}while we organize ourselves|into an army.
{123878}{123945}It may take six months.|It may take a year. We don't know.
{123947}{124028}Once we're strong, we're gonna fight|our way south to the sea.
{124030}{124102}We're going to arrange for ships|with the Cilician pirates.
{124104}{124179}Then the sea will be a road|back home for all of us.
{124181}{124238}Ifyou agree, you mayjoin us.
{124240}{124334}Ifyou don't agree, go back|before your escape is discovered.
{124367}{124415}Too many women.
{124417}{124467}What's wrong with women?
{124469}{124522}Where would you be now,|you lout...
{124524}{124579}ifsome woman hadn't fought|all the pains of hell...
{124581}{124631}to get you|into this accursed world?
{124633}{124707}I can handle a knife|in the dark as well as anyone.
{124709}{124763}I can cast spells|and brew poisons.
{124765}{124851}I have made the death shrouds|for seven Roman masters in my time.
{124879}{124948}- You lout! I want to see Spartacus.|- All right, grandmother.
{124950}{125015}I'm Spartacus. Stay with us.
{125017}{125084}We'll need a million Roman shrouds|before we're through.
{125159}{125209}Where do you people come from?
{125211}{125278}Most of us come|from the estate of Lillius.
{125280}{125360}- What kind ofwork did you do there?|- Sixteen years a carpenter and mason.
{125362}{125429}Good. We can use carpenters.
{125472}{125531}- What kind ofwork did you do?|- I was a chiefsteward.
{125533}{125621}You'll help with the food supplies.|You'll report to the man Patullus.
{125623}{125673}What kind ofwork did you do?
{125693}{125743}Singer ofsongs.
{125769}{125869}Singer ofsongs?|But what work did you do?
{125871}{125940}That's my work.|I alsojuggle.
{125942}{126004}Juggle. What else do you do?
{126006}{126061}I can do feats of magic.
{126063}{126120}Magic?
{126122}{126181}Maybe he can make|the Romans disappear.
{128279}{128392}I'll need one volunteer,|man or woman. How about you?
{128414}{128468}Here we have a likely subject.
{128503}{128579}You'll notice there is|nothing in my hand, true?
{128581}{128631}- How many fingers do you see?|- Three.
{128633}{128684}- How many fingers do you see?|- Three!
{128686}{128736}I make a bowl.
{128738}{128805}My hand is upside down,|and I askyou to blow at it.
{128807}{128859}No, not hard enough. Hard!
{128886}{128931}Thankyou.
{129100}{129150}Would you like to try?
{129231}{129293}Hit it against the rock, gently.
{129471}{129566}Poet, I haven't had|an egg in days.
{129568}{129620}You haven't?
{129691}{129745}- Here.|- Thankyou.
{129747}{129797}I'm not going|to let mine get away.
{130285}{130362}- Sing us a song.|- Sing us a song, Antoninus.
{130382}{130433}Sing, Antoninus.
{130496}{130574}When the blazing sun|hangs low in the western sky...
{130626}{130689}when the wind dies away|on the mountain...
{130753}{130827}when the song|ofthe meadowlark turns still...
{130890}{130965}when the field locust clicks|no more in the field...
{131013}{131102}and the sea foam sleeps|like a maiden at rest...
{131104}{131197}and twilight touches the shape|ofthe wandering earth...
{131199}{131265}lturn home.
{131267}{131346}Through blueshadows|andpurple woods...
{131348}{131393}lturn home.
{131425}{131485}lturn to theplace|that l wasborn...
{131487}{131582}to the mother who bore me|andthe father who taught me...
{131584}{131645}longago, longago...
{131647}{131700}longago.
{131727}{131833}Alone am lnow, lost andalone,|in a far, wide, wandering world.
{131875}{131953}Yet still when|the blazing sun hangs low...
{132006}{132085}when the wind dies away|and the sea foam sleeps...
{132116}{132185}and twilight touches|the wandering earth...
{132229}{132283}I turn home.
{132412}{132463}Where'd you learn that song?
{132478}{132538}My father taught it to me.
{132555}{132612}I was wrong about you, poet.
{132614}{132665}You won't learn to kill.|You'll teach us songs.
{132667}{132720}I came here to fight.
{132762}{132830}Anyone can learn to fight.
{132832}{132882}I joined to fight!
{132965}{133039}- What's your name?|- Antoninus.
{133149}{133238}There's a time for fighting,|and there's a time for singing.
{133240}{133298}Now you teach us to sing.
{133300}{133350}Sing, Antoninus.
{133508}{133603}When the blazing sun|hangs low in the western sky--
{133627}{133677}You like him, don't you?
{133781}{133831}Who wants to fight?
{133893}{133952}An animal can learn to fight.
{134029}{134096}But to sing beautiful things...
{134122}{134173}and make people believe them--
{134419}{134469}What are you thinking about?
{134649}{134699}I'm free.
{134737}{134787}And what do I know?
{134800}{134848}I don't even know|how to read.
{134914}{134969}You know things|that can't be taught.
{135035}{135085}I know nothing.
{135094}{135143}Nothing!
{135201}{135251}And I want to know.
{135261}{135306}I want to--
{135350}{135400}I want to know.
{135430}{135476}Know what?
{135563}{135603}Everything.
{135682}{135767}Why a star falls|and a bird doesn't.
{135769}{135834}Where the sun goes at night.
{135836}{135895}Why the moon changes shape.
{136006}{136068}I want to know|where the wind comes from.
{136240}{136322}The wind begins in a cave.
{136324}{136438}Far to the north,|a young god sleeps in that cave.
{136440}{136495}He dreams ofa girl...
{136497}{136558}and he sighs...
{136560}{136655}and the night wind|stirs with his breath.
{136854}{136920}I want to know all about you.
{136999}{137047}Every line...
{137067}{137117}every curve.
{137195}{137262}I want to know|every part ofyou.
{137326}{137380}Every beat ofyour heart.
{137993}{138061}Go on about the city|of Metapontum.
{138063}{138118}What garrisons|will we find there?
{138154}{138228}There are two legions in the garrison.|Some have been sent south--
{138230}{138280}Set the litter down there.
{138674}{138760}Where is this slave general?
{138852}{138909}Dionysius, get the litter bearers|out ofthe rain.
{138911}{138974}Give them food, bread,|and their freedom.
{139011}{139066}- All right, follow me.|- We'll pay you for them.
{139089}{139161}We have no slaves|in this camp.
{139280}{139338}Tigranes Levantus at your service.
{139352}{139402}My credentials.
{139514}{139559}Come in.
{139621}{139683}''To the general ofthe Italian slaves|called Spartacus...
{139685}{139763}from Ibar M'hali, Cilician governor|ofthe island of Delos.''
{139765}{139814}- Sit down.|- ''Greetings.
{139816}{139877}Word has been received that you wish|to embarkyour armies...
{139879}{139979}on the Cilician ships|from the Italian port of Brundusium.
{139981}{140055}- Receive now my agent, Tigranes--''|- Levantus.
{140057}{140113}''who bargains in my name.
{140115}{140210}May Isis and Serapis bring victory|to your cause. The governor of Delos.''
{140212}{140293}- Who are Isis and Serapis?|- Gods ofthe east.
{140295}{140366}Why should they want us to win?
{140399}{140452}Because they favour Cilicia...
{140454}{140504}and Cilicia, like you,|fights against the Romans.
{140618}{140677}Would you like some wine?
{140679}{140753}I drink only after the bargain|has been concluded...
{140755}{140802}never before.
{140981}{141042}How many ships|do these Cilicians have?
{141044}{141098}Five hundred at least.
{141100}{141151}But no deal is too small,|I assure you.
{141153}{141206}We'll need them all.
{141208}{141277}- All?|- What is the price?
{141304}{141418}Price is 1 00,000 sesterces|per ship.
{141440}{141506}For 500 ships that would be...
{141532}{141594}50 million sesterces.
{141625}{141730}- You have such a sum?|- We will have.
{141816}{141866}See foryourself.
{141940}{142003}- Beautiful.|- When will the ships be ready?
{142005}{142103}Beautiful.|I love to see such beauty.
{142105}{142156}When will the ships be ready?
{142177}{142227}My friend...
{142229}{142292}when will you be ready?
{142294}{142352}How long will it take you...
{142394}{142444}to cross one-third|the length of Italy...
{142446}{142507}fighting a major battle|in every town?
{142509}{142568}One year? Two years?
{142570}{142620}Ifwe're not in Brundusium|seven months from now...
{142622}{142681}we'll never be there.
{142730}{142780}What ifwe assemble the ships...
{142818}{142910}and there is no longer|a slave army to board them?
{142912}{142997}We'll give you a chest oftreasure now,|the rest when we get to Brundusium.
{143018}{143073}- This one?|- Yes.
{143105}{143187}Done! Seven months from now,|the ships will be assembled.
{143242}{143310}Arrange to have the chest loaded.
{143312}{143404}Now, with your permission, I should|like to have the wine you offered me.
{143406}{143455}- Will you join me?|- I will.
{143457}{143504}Excellent workmanship.
{143506}{143563}It came from the estate|ofa wealthy nobleman.
{143565}{143638}I've heard that you are|of noble birth yourself.
{143640}{143693}I'm the son|and grandson ofslaves.
{143695}{143790}I knew that|when I saw you couldn't read.
{143792}{143885}Ofcourse, it pleases Roman vanity|to think that you are noble.
{143887}{143950}They shrink from the idea|offighting mere slaves...
{143952}{144003}especially a man like Crassus.
{144042}{144158}- You know him?|- I entertained him one afternoon.
{144160}{144217}- You?|- In the arena.
{144288}{144338}Excellent wine.
{144415}{144488}- May I askyou something?|- You can ask.
{144490}{144574}Surely you know|you're going to lose, don't you?
{144609}{144654}You have no chance.
{144656}{144718}At this very moment, six cohorts|ofthe garrison of Rome...
{144720}{144773}are approaching this position.
{144839}{144911}What are you going to do?
{145012}{145071}We'll decide that|when they get here.
{145178}{145230}Let me put it differently.
{145232}{145311}Ifyou looked|into a magic crystal...
{145313}{145414}and you saw your army destroyed|and yourselfdead...
{145416}{145481}ifyou saw that in the future...
{145483}{145532}as I'm sure|you're seeing it now...
{145534}{145583}would you continue to fight?
{145617}{145674}- Yes.|- Knowing that you must lose?
{145724}{145793}Knowing we can.
{145795}{145871}All men lose when they die|and all men die.
{145873}{145934}But a slave and a free man|lose different things.
{145936}{145981}They both lose life.
{145984}{146075}When a free man dies,|he loses the pleasure of life.
{146101}{146163}A slave loses his pain.
{146193}{146265}Death is the only freedom|a slave knows.
{146267}{146317}That's why he's not afraid of it.
{146369}{146399}That's why we'll win.
{147101}{147170}Spartacus,|that pirate was right.
{147214}{147285}The garrison of Rome,|they're setting up camp.
{147314}{147368}- How many are there?|- About six cohorts.
{147395}{147445}- Where?|- At the mouth ofthe valley...
{147447}{147497}against the cliffs.
{147543}{147627}- Strong camp?|- They have no stockade.
{147671}{147740}No stockade? Are you sure?
{147742}{147838}- I'm very sure.|- This campaign is great sport for them.
{147840}{147890}The Romans are having a picnic.
{147917}{147985}- Did they see you?|- No! We were hidden.
{148052}{148110}Maybe we ought tojoin|this Roman picnic.
{148112}{148163}Form your men.
{148299}{148344}Six cohorts.
{148363}{148433}A lot ofarms and weapons...
{148435}{148485}to build our army with.
{149142}{149210}Crixus always wanted|to march on Rome.
{149229}{149279}Now he doesn't have to.
{149298}{149348}Rome's come to us.
{150932}{150996}Halfthis way!|The rest over there.
{151487}{151573}Stand up, the way|a noble Roman should!
{151575}{151625}That's Roman pride foryou!
{151784}{151831}That's better.
{151839}{151884}What's your name?
{151920}{151981}Marcus Glabrus.
{152031}{152095}Commander ofthe garrison|of Rome!
{152097}{152127}Commander?
{152129}{152226}He was commanding it on his belly|when we found him, playing dead!
{152312}{152389}You disappoint me,|Marcus Glabrus.
{152391}{152441}Playing dead.
{152470}{152520}You afraid to die?
{152558}{152610}It's easy to die.
{152612}{152669}Haven't you seen|enough gladiators in the arena...
{152671}{152721}to see how easy it is to die?
{152723}{152780}Ofcourse you have.
{152837}{152893}What are you going|to do to me?
{152895}{152945}I don't know.
{152971}{153074}- What should we do with him?|- Let's have a matched pair, him and me.
{153123}{153181}I'll not fight like a gladiator!
{153300}{153365}You keep staring at this.
{153367}{153417}Do you recognize this baton?
{153444}{153530}- Yes!|- You should! It was in your tent.
{153591}{153641}The symbol ofthe senate.
{153643}{153702}All the power of Rome!
{153743}{153788}That's the power of Rome!
{153877}{153936}Take that back to your senate.
{153938}{154034}Tell them you and that broken stick is|all that's left ofthe garrison of Rome!
{154036}{154103}Tell them we want nothing|from Rome.
{154105}{154169}Nothing except our freedom!
{154171}{154241}All we want is to get out|ofthis damn country!
{154243}{154293}We're marching south|to the sea.
{154295}{154354}And we'll smash every army|they send against us.
{154356}{154414}Put him on a horse!
{158708}{158800}Their leader said|their hatred of Rome was such...
{158802}{158878}that all they wished|was to escape from her rule.
{158880}{158977}If unopposed, he promised|a peaceful march to the sea.
{158979}{159061}Ifopposed, he threatens|to ravage the countryside...
{159063}{159118}and destroy every legion|sent against him.
{159120}{159169}And once they get to the sea?
{159171}{159267}They plan to take ship with Cilician|pirates and return to their homes.
{159269}{159332}From which port do they|propose to embark?
{159334}{159382}I don't know.
{159384}{159450}But city garrisons|can't stand up to them.
{159452}{159518}Ifthey are to be intercepted,|it's work for the legions!
{159520}{159614}What sort ofa man is|this leader ofthe slaves?
{159616}{159664}I don't know.
{159666}{159719}I think they called him|Spartacus.
{159799}{159849}Is that name familiar to you?
{159907}{159975}Yes, it does seem to be.
{159977}{160022}I can't place it.
{160024}{160075}After he talked to you,|what happened then?
{160114}{160192}I was tied to a horse|and lashed out ofcamp.
{160237}{160314}How many ofyour company|escaped?
{160316}{160370}Fourteen have reported|thus far.
{160372}{160442}I myselfwas taken prisoner|in my own command tent.
{160444}{160546}The camp was thoroughly infiltrated|before an alarm could be sounded.
{160574}{160681}Did you surround your camp|with moat and stockade?
{160858}{160883}No.
{160933}{161031}We arrived after sunset.|Sentries were posted every ten paces.
{161033}{161116}There was no reason to expect|an attack by night.
{161118}{161197}Then again, well, they--
{161252}{161292}Continue.
{161354}{161405}They were only slaves.
{161476}{161511}I see.
{161583}{161685}I submit that Publius Marcus Glabrus|has disgraced the arms of Rome.
{161716}{161778}Let the punishment|ofthe senate be pronounced.
{161900}{161979}Ifwe punished every commander|who made a fool of himself...
{161981}{162054}we wouldn't have anyone left|above the rank ofcenturion.
{162094}{162161}But this is a case|ofcriminal carelessness!
{162163}{162243}Six cohorts have been slaughtered.
{162245}{162304}Crassus sponsored this young man.
{162306}{162357}Let him pronounce sentence.
{162440}{162490}The punishment is well-known!
{162559}{162609}Let Publius Marcus Glabrus|be denied...
{162611}{162662}fire, water,|food and shelter...
{162664}{162744}for a distance of400 miles|in all directions from the city of Rome.
{162864}{162917}One thing more.
{162919}{163014}Glabrus is my friend, and I will not|dissociate myselffrom his disgrace.
{163016}{163091}I now lay down the command|of my legions...
{163093}{163141}and retire to private life.
{163445}{163490}Good-bye, Crassus.
{163537}{163625}This is no time for a man of honour|to withdraw from public affairs!
{163627}{163699}- Shame, shame!|- Sit down.
{163716}{163799}This sort of heroic|public behaviour is nothing new!
{163801}{163863}I've seen it before-- we all have--|and I know the meaning of it!
{163865}{163970}- Crassus acted on a point of honour!|- Patrician honour!
{163972}{164022}No matter how noble|this looks from the outside...
{164024}{164074}I don't like the colour of it.
{164076}{164126}Crassus is|the only man in Rome...
{164128}{164224}who hasn't yielded to|republican corruption, and never will!
{164226}{164323}I'll take some republican corruption|along with some republican freedom...
{164325}{164370}but I won't take...
{164372}{164480}the dictatorship of Crassus|and no freedom at all!
{164533}{164589}That's what he's out for...
{164591}{164641}and that's why he'll be back.
{170182}{170257}To the mother that bore me...
{170288}{170342}to the father that taught me...
{170393}{170443}to the god--
{170508}{170588}To the blue woods|and the purple shadows, I--
{170590}{170673}To blue shadows|and purple woods.
{170675}{170767}- Spartacus, you frightened me!|- I'm sorry.
{170820}{170886}- How long have you been there?|- A little while.
{170911}{170961}Why didn't you say something?
{170963}{171014}You seemed so happy.|I didn't want to botheryou.
{171016}{171067}I am happy.
{171069}{171167}Spartacus, I've been trying to remember|the song that Antoninus sang.
{171169}{171226}Is it blue shadows|and purple woods?
{171228}{171301}Or is it purple woods|and blue shadows, or what is it?
{171303}{171357}I want to make love|to my wife!
{171417}{171466}Spartacus, put me down. I'm--
{171468}{171514}I don't care.
{171516}{171582}- You've got, you've--|- Yes?
{171584}{171662}- You have to be gentle with me.|- Why?
{171664}{171709}Why, darling?
{171711}{171790}I'm going to have a baby.|Now put me down.
{171851}{171891}What?
{171949}{172005}A baby.
{172093}{172143}A baby? When?
{172206}{172241}In the spring.
{172302}{172414}- How? I mean, how do you know?|- I know.
{172442}{172492}A baby in the spring.
{172545}{172607}- I'm gonna have a son.|- But it might be a daughter.
{172609}{172662}- Why didn't you tell me?|- I just did.
{172664}{172725}You're cold.|Here, get underneath this.
{172749}{172799}- Did I hurt you?|- No, you didn't.
{172801}{172873}- I didn't mean to be so rough.|- Why don't you kiss me?
{172875}{172942}This is the first time|I was ever going to have a baby.
{173075}{173129}A baby.
{173131}{173209}I'm just the same|as I ever was, Spartacus.
{173450}{173500}I won't break.
{174201}{174307}Theseslaveshave alreadycost us|a thousandmillion sesterces.
{174309}{174379}If now they want to relieve us|oftheir unwelcome presence...
{174381}{174431}in the name ofall the gods,|let them go!
{174433}{174514}Impossible! They've already infected|halfof Italy with this uprising.
{174516}{174558}Ifwe permit them|to escape now...
{174560}{174622}this condition will spread|throughout the entire empire.
{174781}{174859}The Republic...
{174861}{174939}is still weak|from 20 years ofcivil strife.
{174941}{175011}We're engaged in two wars:
{175013}{175095}one in Spain|and the other in Asia.
{175097}{175193}Pirates have cut off|our Egyptian grain supply...
{175195}{175309}and Spartacus raids the commerce|ofall south Italy.
{175311}{175426}Halfthe precincts of Rome|are without bread!
{175428}{175495}The city is close to panic.
{175527}{175599}There are two things|we must do immediately!
{175601}{175692}Confirm Caesar as permanent|commander ofthe garrison...
{175789}{175841}and assign two legions...
{175843}{175971}to intercept and destroy Spartacus|at the city of Metapontum!
{177557}{177615}Ifwe could only have had|Batiatus in the other pot!
{177617}{177702}- Now you're talking!|- Varinia, wonderful meal.
{177724}{177813}A small piece of land|with a few goats on it.
{177852}{177902}The best wine in the world.
{177904}{178012}For wine you've got to go to Aquitania.|The sweetest grapes on earth.
{178014}{178092}Come to Lidya for wine.|That's the best.
{178094}{178191}The best wine comes from Greece.|Everybody knows that. Even the Romans!
{178193}{178257}No, Lidya!
{178277}{178343}You're all wrong!
{178345}{178401}The best wine comes from home,|wherever it is.
{178403}{178448}I agree with you.
{178971}{179016}Gentlemen.
{179025}{179103}- Are there reports on Metapontum?|- Heralds are crying the news now.
{179105}{179183}We lost 1 9,000 men,|including Commodius and his officers.
{179185}{179239}Nineteen thousand?
{179290}{179343}Have you estates in Metapontum?
{179345}{179422}No. A son with Commodius.
{179445}{179499}With your permission, good day.
{179559}{179641}We take five years|to train a legion.
{179643}{179745}How can this Spartacus|train an army in seven months?
{179747}{179829}There's something wrong,|something very wrong.
{179831}{179902}- We should have an investigation.|- By all means, an investigation.
{179904}{180006}-Where is Spartacus now?|-He's nearing the seaport of Brundusium.
{180008}{180074}I need a few moments|ofthe commander's time.
{180076}{180126}Will you excuse us?
{180244}{180363}I hearyou've taken a house|in the fourth ward.
{180369}{180427}Not a very splendid house either.
{180429}{180495}And you feasted 1 1 ,000 plebeians|in the field of Mars.
{180497}{180551}It scarcely could've|been called a feast.
{180577}{180626}For 200 years, your family|and mine have been members...
{180628}{180705}ofthe Equestrian Order|and the Patrician Party.
{180707}{180779}Servants and rulers of Rome.
{180781}{180839}Why have you left us|for Gracchus and the mob?
{180841}{180915}I've left no one,|least ofall Rome.
{180917}{181008}But this much I've learned|from Gracchus: Rome is the mob.
{181010}{181061}No!
{181063}{181150}Rome is an eternal thought|in the mind of God.
{181152}{181202}I had no idea|you'd grown religious.
{181218}{181265}That doesn't matter.
{181267}{181326}Ifthere were no gods at all,|I'd revere them.
{181328}{181407}Ifthere were no Rome,|I'd dream of her...
{181409}{181459}as I want you to do.
{181493}{181551}I want you to come back|to your own kind.
{181566}{181613}I beg you to.
{181633}{181683}Is it me you want|or is it the garrison?
{181718}{181795}Both. Tell me frankly.
{181797}{181865}Ifyou were I, would you|take the field against Spartacus?
{181867}{181918}- Ofcourse.|- Why?
{181920}{181987}We have no other choice|ifwe're to save Rome.
{181989}{182029}Caesar!
{182031}{182070}Which Rome?
{182072}{182115}Theirs...
{182117}{182163}or ours?
{182233}{182293}You know Gracchus|is my friend.
{182336}{182386}I won't betray him.
{182422}{182467}Caesar.
{182550}{182615}Which is worse: to betray a friend|or to betray Rome herself?
{182617}{182670}My dear Crassus,|I face no such choice.
{182672}{182742}You will,|sooner than you think.
{182781}{182848}Good afternoon, Crassus.|I've been looking foryou all day.
{182850}{182895}Your new master.
{182970}{183039}The senate's been in session all day|over this business ofSpartacus.
{183041}{183132}We've got eight legions to march|against him and no one to lead them.
{183134}{183185}The minute you offer|the generals command...
{183187}{183241}they start wheezing|like winded mules.
{183243}{183301}I've seen such epidemics before,|haven't you?
{183303}{183359}- How's your health?|- Excellent, as you know.
{183361}{183423}I take it the senate's now offering|command ofthe legions to me.
{183425}{183483}- You've been expecting it.|- I have.
{183485}{183540}But have you thought how costly|my services might be?
{183542}{183599}We buy everything else|these days.
{183601}{183682}No reason why we shouldn't be charged|for patriotism. What's your fee?
{183734}{183847}My election as first consul,|command ofall the legions of Italy...
{183849}{183911}and the abolition ofsenatorial|authority over the courts.
{183933}{183983}Dictatorship.
{184005}{184044}Order.
{184087}{184143}- Advise me if my terms are acceptable.|- I can tell you now.
{184145}{184204}- They're unacceptable.|- Yes, I know.
{184206}{184288}For the present perhaps, but times|change, and so does the senate.
{184290}{184340}When that day comes,|I shall be ready.
{184342}{184396}- Convey my respects to your wife.|- With pleasure.
{184464}{184514}He's right, you know.
{184516}{184579}Ifsomething isn't done about Spartacus,|the senate will change.
{184581}{184645}And Crassus will move in|and save Rome from the slave army...
{184647}{184695}by assuming dictatorship.
{184758}{184832}But that, like everything else,|depends on which way Spartacusjumps.
{184834}{184886}Just now, he's trying|to get out of Italy.
{184888}{184949}If he succeeds,|the crisis is over...
{184951}{185024}and Crassus may stay|in retirement indefinitely.
{185026}{185106}I've arranged for Spartacus|to escape from Italy.
{185108}{185139}You've done what?
{185141}{185218}I've made a little deal|with the Cilician pirates.
{185220}{185270}I've assured them|that we won't interfere...
{185272}{185342}ifthey transport Spartacus|and his slaves out of Italy.
{185399}{185505}So now we deal with pirates.|We bargain with criminals!
{185507}{185616}Don't you be so stiff-necked about it.|Politics is a practical profession.
{185618}{185721}Ifa criminal has what you want,|you do business with him.
{186593}{186658}How far are we from Brundusium?
{186660}{186721}About 20 miles.
{186723}{186817}Our army will have to camp here tonight.|They're still about six hours behind us.
{186819}{186918}Patullus, ride ahead to Brundusium.|Bring Tigranes here.
{186920}{186989}Marco, report back to Spartacus.
{186991}{187061}Tell him we camp tonight|by the sea!
{188057}{188154}Ifall goes well, my estimate is|we can load 1 50 ships a day.
{188156}{188223}That's yourjob, Dionysius.|Work with the Cilician pirates.
{188225}{188321}- That oughta keep him busy.|- Saves me finding someplace to sleep.
{188323}{188373}Crixus, keep giving me reports|on Pompey.
{188375}{188425}There won't be any surprises.
{188427}{188499}I still want patrols of|the back country until we board ship.
{188501}{188546}I'll get them together now.
{188548}{188623}Spartacus, the harbour district|in Brundusium has food warehouses...
{188625}{188688}but not enough to provide|for the whole fleet.
{188690}{188736}The countryside's filled with cattle.
{188738}{188788}And we've more than enough salt|to preserve them.
{188790}{188835}I'll handle it.
{188837}{188921}Find out how many men we have in camp|who were galley slaves or sailors.
{188923}{188968}Tigranes Levantus.
{189039}{189090}- My dear general.|- Welcome, Tigranes!
{189092}{189174}No, no. You needn't look|for litter bearers to emancipate.
{189176}{189221}I rode a horse.
{189223}{189311}Your gods Isis and Serapis|must've been good to us.
{189313}{189407}The balance ofthe 50 million sesterces|we owe you.
{189430}{189480}General...
{189482}{189569}I bear a heavy burden|ofevil tidings.
{189622}{189667}What is it?
{189709}{189792}Pompey and his army|has landed in Italy.
{189794}{189864}At the border of Rhegium|three days ago.
{189866}{189920}We get complete reports|on their movements.
{189922}{189969}But do you also know...
{189971}{190026}that a Roman fleet carrying|Lucullus and his army...
{190028}{190078}arrives tomorrow at Brundusium?
{190142}{190218}- Lucullus here?|- You have no ships.
{190309}{190360}I saw them in the harbour.
{190398}{190496}The Cilician fleet,|out ofstrategic necessity...
{190498}{190557}has been obliged to withdraw.
{190585}{190668}- Withdraw?|- There are no ships at all?
{190862}{190967}Cilician pirates can destroy|any Roman fleet that ever sailed.
{190969}{191019}Ifthey run away now,|it's not because they're afraid!
{191021}{191071}You better give me|a better reason.
{191073}{191124}I'm as desolated|as you are, General.
{191126}{191176}Stand up. Up!
{191208}{191253}On your toes.
{191337}{191436}- You'll cut the skin.|- Why did the Cilicians run away?
{191438}{191490}They were paid.
{191492}{191542}And who paid them?
{191544}{191589}Who?
{191591}{191636}Crassus.
{191775}{191830}Crassus won't fight us himself.
{191832}{191911}The reports say he won't take|the command ofan army.
{191913}{191993}Why would he bribe your pirates|to keep us from escaping?
{191995}{192060}I don't know. How can I answer|when there is no answer?
{192062}{192119}I've been betrayed,|just as you have!
{192121}{192191}There is an answer.
{192193}{192251}There must be an answer|to everything.
{192289}{192350}We're five miles|from Brundusium.
{192388}{192452}Here's Rhegium.
{192454}{192524}Pompey's march must have|brought him to about here.
{192526}{192602}He's four days away,|maybe more.
{192634}{192713}Lucullus lands|at Brundusium tomorrow.
{192715}{192767}Ifwe engage Lucullus...
{192769}{192846}Pompey will have enough time|to march against our rear.
{192878}{192975}Ifwe turn west|to meet Pompey...
{192977}{193042}Lucullus will march|against our rear.
{193072}{193180}The only other army|in all of Italy is here!
{193182}{193221}Rome.
{193238}{193289}Yes, ofcourse!
{193291}{193353}Crassus is inviting us|to march on Rome...
{193355}{193406}so he can take the field|against us.
{193408}{193474}You mean Crassus wants us|to march on Rome?
{193476}{193538}He's forcing us to. He knows|I won't let myself be trapped...
{193540}{193613}between two armies|with my back to the sea.
{193615}{193677}He knows my only other choice|is Rome.
{193717}{193780}Somewhere on the way,|we meet.
{193782}{193859}If he beats us,|he becomes the saviour of Rome...
{193861}{193911}and there's his final victory|over the senate.
{193913}{194037}General, allow me|to redeem myself in your eyes.
{194039}{194085}For a very small commission...
{194087}{194195}I can arrange foryou, your family|and your leaders, ofcourse...
{194197}{194271}to be smuggled out of Italy and|transported to an eastern country...
{194273}{194339}where men ofsubstance like you|are welcome and appreciated.
{194341}{194404}You can live there like kings|for the rest ofyour lives.
{194406}{194456}What do you think, General?
{194474}{194524}Go away.
{194526}{194584}Go away?
{194901}{194963}Tell the trumpeters|to sound assembly.
{195157}{195256}Tonight a Roman army lands|in the harbour of Brundusium.
{195283}{195353}Another army is approaching|us from the west.
{195355}{195427}Between them,|they hope to trap us here...
{195429}{195479}against the sea.
{195481}{195568}The Cilician pirates have betrayed us.|We have no ships.
{195570}{195639}''By order ofthe senate...
{195641}{195728}be it known that we have|this day elected...
{195730}{195796}Marcus Licinius Crassus...
{195798}{195867}first consul ofthe Republic...
{195869}{195977}and commander in chief|ofthe armies of Rome.''
{195979}{196057}Hail Crassus!
{196059}{196156}Rome will not allow us|to escape from Italy.
{196186}{196270}We have no choice|but to march against Rome herself...
{196272}{196374}and end this war the only way|it could have ended:
{196376}{196464}by freeing every slave in Italy.
{196466}{196527}I promise you...
{196529}{196585}a new Rome...
{196587}{196636}a new Italy|and a new empire.
{196664}{196725}I promise the destruction|ofthe slave army...
{196749}{196815}and the restoration oforder...
{196817}{196867}throughout all our territories.
{196869}{196971}I'd rather be here,|a free man among brothers...
{196973}{197054}facing a long march|and a hard fight...
{197056}{197137}than to be the richest citizen|of Rome...
{197139}{197210}fat with food|he didn't work for...
{197212}{197263}and surrounded by slaves.
{197265}{197349}I promise the living body|ofSpartacus...
{197351}{197432}for whatever punishment|you may deem fit.
{197434}{197515}That or his head.
{197537}{197645}This I vow by the spirits|ofall my forefathers.
{197647}{197711}This I have sworn...
{197713}{197775}in the temple|that guards their bones.
{197816}{197872}Hail Crassus!
{197874}{197955}We've travelled|a long ways together.
{197957}{198070}We've fought many battles|and won great victories.
{198072}{198182}Now, instead oftaking ship|for our homes across the sea...
{198184}{198256}we must fight again.
{198258}{198326}Maybe there's no peace|in this world...
{198328}{198407}for us or for anyone else.|I don't know.
{198433}{198483}But I do know...
{198485}{198540}that as long as we live...
{198542}{198624}we must stay true to ourselves.
{198658}{198769}I do know that we're brothers,|and I know that we're free.
{198937}{198987}We march tonight!
{201238}{201304}Hail Crassus!
{201306}{201356}Greetings to you, Crassus.
{201358}{201414}Caius. Gentlemen.
{201442}{201492}Have your dispositions|been made?
{201494}{201601}Each maniple knows its position in line,|sir, and exactly what's expected.
{201603}{201696}Every legion commander|has been given his battle orders.
{201698}{201763}Excellent. All positions|will now be changed.
{201765}{201811}Changed?
{201813}{201887}Spartacus takes too keen|an interest in our plans, I fear.
{201922}{202001}New battle orders|will be issued in a short while.
{202066}{202158}Spartacus has every reason to believe|that he has outdistanced...
{202160}{202249}the pursuing armies|of Pompey and of Lucullus.
{202251}{202327}However, there are passes|through the Apennine Mountains...
{202329}{202384}unknown to any map.
{202420}{202522}It may fortify|your courage to know...
{202524}{202625}that Pompey is at this moment encamped|some 20 miles to the west of us...
{202627}{202694}and that the army of Lucullus|approaches from the south...
{202696}{202746}by forced night march.
{202748}{202848}Sir, allow us to pledge you the most|glorious victory ofyour career.
{202898}{202948}I'm not after glory!
{202970}{203020}I'm after Spartacus.
{203045}{203103}And, gentlemen,|I mean to have him.
{203139}{203243}However, this campaign|is not alone to kill Spartacus.
{203245}{203319}It is to kill|the legend ofSpartacus.
{203364}{203414}You may go, gentlemen.
{203416}{203461}Hail Crassus.
{203527}{203578}Lentulus Batiatus|awaits Your Excellency.
{203580}{203634}- Who?|- The lanista, sir.
{203670}{203721}Admit him.
{203774}{203836}Most Blessed Highness,|as soon as I received your message...
{203838}{203886}I hurried into your|distinguished presence.
{203888}{203954}I'm glad you were able|to spare the time. Sit down.
{203984}{204029}How gracious.
{204048}{204122}I understand--|I'm informed--
{204124}{204183}that Spartacus once trained|underyour auspices.
{204185}{204235}Yes! In fact...
{204237}{204300}if it isn't too subversive|to say so...
{204302}{204380}I made him|what he is today.
{204382}{204438}You're to be congratulated|indeed.
{204440}{204538}I, too, as it happens, since you're|so admirably qualified to give me...
{204540}{204599}what up to now|I've not been able to obtain:
{204601}{204654}a physical description|ofSpartacus.
{204656}{204682}Yes.
{204696}{204748}But you saw him.
{204789}{204840}- What?|- In the ring.
{204872}{204920}When?
{204922}{205011}When you visited my school|with those two charming ladies.
{205048}{205102}What ?
{205104}{205160}I trust they're both|in good health.
{205162}{205240}They selected him to fight|against Draba, the Negro.
{205242}{205315}- I remember the Negro.|- You had good cause to, if I remember--
{205317}{205370}If I may say so, Your Excellency.
{205372}{205429}A brilliant dagger thrust.|Difficult angle.
{205431}{205481}- Spartacus was the opponent?|- Yes.
{205552}{205609}What did he look like?
{205611}{205676}That's a matter ofsome|importance to Your Highness?
{205678}{205788}Yes, to every man who loves Rome|and wishes to see her strong.
{205790}{205840}We're both Roman patriots, sir.
{205842}{205900}You're a great one.|I, ofcourse, smaller.
{205902}{205963}But we both believe|in Roman fair play.
{205965}{206014}Ifyou want|something from me...
{206016}{206089}I would be lacking|in respect for my own conscience...
{206091}{206141}if I did not say|that I wish something from you.
{206143}{206194}Name your price.
{206196}{206249}If-- no--
{206251}{206314}when you win|your victory tomorrow...
{206316}{206381}presumably the survivors|will be auctioned off...
{206383}{206463}in order to pay for the expenses|ofthis heroic expedition.
{206496}{206564}Could not the agent|for that sale be he...
{206566}{206667}who shares this tiny moment|of history with Your Honour?
{206705}{206800}I authorize you to be the agent|for the sale ofall survivors.
{206819}{206889}In return, you will remain here with us|until after the battle...
{206891}{206943}and aid me|in identifying Spartacus.
{206945}{206990}After the battle?
{206992}{207057}You misunderstand me.|I'm a civilian.
{207059}{207140}I'm even more ofa civilian|than most civilians.
{207158}{207208}Ifyou wish to remain so...
{207210}{207289}I should strongly advise you|to stay here and be our guest.
{207291}{207325}Guard!
{207460}{207575}My dear, all-conquering|Marcus Licinius Crassus...
{207596}{207653}what if it is Spartacus|who crosses the battlefield...
{207655}{207701}looking foryou?
{207752}{207821}In such circumstances,|I have no doubt...
{207823}{207877}you will be helping him.
{207879}{207946}This fellow remains with us|until after the battle.
{207948}{208048}Make him comfortable.|Don't let him feel lonely.
{210278}{210340}Mommy? Mommy?
{210408}{210470}When do we go home?
{210577}{210627}Go to sleep, dear.
{211428}{211483}No pains yet?
{211485}{211549}He's a bad child, though.|He hits me with his fist.
{211551}{211606}He wants to see his mother.|Can you blame him?
{211629}{211679}Can you feel it?
{211710}{211756}No, I don't.
{211758}{211816}I hope he waits|till we get to Rome.
{211900}{211945}Rome!
{211986}{212037}They've never beaten us yet.
{212102}{212157}No.
{212195}{212265}But no matter how many times|we beat them...
{212267}{212361}they still seem to have|another army to send against us.
{212363}{212409}And another.
{212468}{212558}Varinia, itjust seems|like we've started something...
{212579}{212627}that has no ending!
{212629}{212714}If it ended tomorrow,|it would be worth it.
{212888}{212989}Varinia, don't make me weak.
{213005}{213075}You're strong enough|to be weak.
{213191}{213246}I love you more than my life.
{213300}{213394}Yet, sometimes, even with you here|sleeping beside me...
{213440}{213490}I feel so alone.
{213529}{213609}I imagine a god for slaves...
{213611}{213676}and I pray.
{213678}{213728}What do you pray for?
{213765}{213839}I pray for a son|who'll be born free.
{213879}{213934}I pray for the same thing.
{214054}{214104}Take care of my son, Varinia.
{214143}{214193}If he never knows me...
{214195}{214283}tell him who I was|and what we dreamed of.
{214285}{214367}Tell him the truth. There will be|plenty ofothers to tell him lies.
{214369}{214419}I can't live without you,|Spartacus!
{214732}{214802}Foryou and me|there can be no farewells.
{214910}{214977}As long as one of us lives...
{214979}{215029}we all live.
{215052}{215123}I felt it! Did you feel it?
{215125}{215195}- Yes, I did.|- That was so strong. Does it hurt you?
{215221}{215271}That was so strong.
{224431}{224491}Lucullus and Pompey.
{229730}{229779}Have we a count of prisoners?
{229781}{229845}We haven't made|the final count, sir.
{229847}{229921}I bring a message|from your master...
{229923}{230004}Marcus Licinius Crassus...
{230006}{230065}commander of Italy.
{230067}{230159}By command of|His Most Merciful Excellency...
{230161}{230223}your lives are to be spared.
{230299}{230345}Slaves you were...
{230347}{230397}and slaves you remain.
{230399}{230481}But the terrible penalty|ofcrucifixion...
{230483}{230533}has been set aside...
{230535}{230638}on the single condition|that you identify the body...
{230640}{230755}or the living person|ofthe slave called Spartacus.
{231055}{231120}- I'm Spartacus!|- I'm Spartacus!
{232196}{232271}Forgive me for being one ofthe last|to congratulate you, Your Nobility.
{232273}{232341}There's an ugly rumour|going round the camp...
{232343}{232408}that the prisoners|are to be crucified.
{232426}{232471}That is true.
{232505}{232555}Perhaps this is the moment|to remind Your Highness...
{232557}{232642}that yesterday you promised me I could|be the agent in their auctioning.
{232644}{232734}Last night you promised|Spartacus to me! Where is he?
{232736}{232786}In return, I promised you|the sale ofthe survivors...
{232788}{232841}and there will be none!
{233443}{233501}- It's Varinia.|- Yes, I remember.
{233503}{233559}You're the woman ofSpartacus?
{233561}{233613}I'm his wife.
{233615}{233665}And this is his child?
{233698}{233728}Yes.
{233741}{233786}Where is Spartacus?
{233887}{233927}Dead.
{233941}{233991}Did you see him killed?
{234106}{234138}Yes.
{234181}{234268}You're lying. Where is he?
{234382}{234437}At least here is someone|worth selling, Your Enormity.
{234439}{234508}I'll even take the child|as an investment.
{234541}{234601}- How many women have been taken?|- Under forty, sir.
{234603}{234677}Most ofthose who weren't killed have|run to the hills with their children.
{234679}{234734}You may sell all the others,|but not this woman.
{234736}{234785}But you haven't seen|the others, Your Magnitude.
{234787}{234857}They're ofsurpassing ugliness!|A genius wouldn't be able to sell them!
{234859}{234929}Flog that scoundrel out ofcamp.
{234931}{235014}This woman and her child|are to be conveyed to my house in Rome.
{235355}{235406}- Halt them!|- Halt!
{235518}{235549}Antoninus?
{235973}{235998}Tribune!
{236155}{236235}Slaves are to be crucified|along the roadside...
{236237}{236337}the whole distance between here|and the gates of Rome.
{236412}{236462}Hold this man till the end.
{236543}{236588}And that man too.
{236771}{236821}- March on.|- March on!
{238112}{238177}I've more stripes on my back|than a zebra!
{238179}{238247}Every time I touch my wounds...
{238264}{238333}they sing like larks.
{238335}{238386}But in spite ofthat,|I think I've found something...
{238388}{238454}- I never had before with all my wealth.|- What is that?
{238483}{238553}Don't laugh at me,|but I believe it to be dignity.
{238555}{238617}In Rome,|dignity shortens life...
{238619}{238678}even more surely than disease.
{238680}{238739}The gods must be saving you|for some great enterprise.
{238754}{238803}You think so?
{238805}{238911}Anyone who believes I'll turn informer|for nothing is a fool.
{238913}{238975}I bore the whip|without complaint.
{238977}{239071}Yes, indeed, that sounds|like a bad attack ofdignity.
{239073}{239130}I hope, however,|this will not deflect you...
{239132}{239188}from the revenge|you were going to take on Crassus.
{239190}{239255}No, on the contrary.|It only strengthens my resolve.
{239257}{239323}I'm glad to learn that.
{239376}{239462}This woman Varinia is in his house.|All Rome knows about it.
{239464}{239514}Malicious tongues even say...
{239516}{239592}that he's in love|for the first time in his life.
{239686}{239752}I noticed a strange look in his eye|when he first saw her.
{239754}{239810}It would take a great woman...
{239812}{239887}to make Crassus|fall out of love with himself.
{239889}{239939}I'll be honest with you,|Gracchus.
{239941}{240017}She's not as unattractive|as I told you she was.
{240019}{240114}Dignity and honesty in one afternoon!|I hardly recognize you.
{240133}{240198}- But she is an impossible woman.|- Beautiful?
{240200}{240256}Beautiful? Well, beautiful.
{240258}{240322}The more chains you put on her,|the less like a slave she looks.
{240324}{240374}- Proud?|- Proud, proud.
{240376}{240442}You'd feel that she would surrender|to the right man...
{240444}{240499}which is irritating.
{240518}{240616}I like Crassus.|Let's save him from his agony.
{240618}{240668}Let's steal this woman.
{240696}{240754}Steal the woman? Why?
{240756}{240811}I can no longer hurt Crassus|in the senate...
{240813}{240902}but I can hurt him where|he'll feel it most: in his pride.
{240904}{240957}Attack our enemy from within.
{240959}{241004}The scheme is excellent...
{241006}{241080}but I hope you're not suggesting|that I steal the woman!
{241082}{241134}Yes.
{241136}{241211}Buy some horses|and a cart with a canopy.
{241213}{241263}Bring her here by nightfall.
{241310}{241400}Add courage|to your newfound virtues.
{241449}{241531}Would halfa million sesterces|make you brave?
{241597}{241648}Halfa million?
{241742}{241860}Crassus does seem to dwindle|in the mind, but--
{241862}{241933}Let's reduce him still further.|A round million!
{241962}{242012}A million.
{242014}{242067}For such a sum,|I could bribeJupiter himself!
{242093}{242144}With a lesser sum, I have.
{242296}{242340}Forgive the intrusion.
{242342}{242406}You know I'm not in the habit|ofcoming into your house uninvited.
{242408}{242458}You've always been welcome here...
{242460}{242510}as a pupil.
{242604}{242668}- You're not alone.|- No.
{242711}{242781}This time you've come to teach.
{242820}{242870}You'vejoined Crassus?
{242894}{242950}- Am I arrested?|- No.
{242952}{243018}But I must askyou to come with me|to the senate immediately.
{243073}{243132}What I do,|I do not for myself...
{243154}{243208}but for Rome.
{243210}{243276}Poor helpless Rome!
{243278}{243380}Let's go and hear more|about Rome from Crassus!
{243501}{243557}Did you truly believe|500 years of Rome...
{243559}{243650}could so easily be delivered|into the clutches ofa mob?
{243732}{243828}Already the bodies|of 6,000 crucified slaves...
{243830}{243886}line the Appian Way.
{243888}{243958}Tomorrow the last oftheir companions|will fight to the death...
{243960}{244057}in the temple of my fathers|as a sacrifice to them.
{244059}{244148}As those slaves have died,|so will your rabble...
{244150}{244274}ifthey falter one instant|in loyalty to the new order ofaffairs.
{244276}{244349}The enemies ofthe state|are known.
{244351}{244448}Arrests are in progress.|The prisons begin to fill.
{244450}{244559}In every city and province, lists|ofthe disloyal have been compiled.
{244561}{244674}Tomorrow they will learn|the cost oftheir terrible folly...
{244692}{244733}their treason.
{244768}{244816}Where does my name appear...
{244818}{244897}on the list ofdisloyal enemies|ofthe state?
{244899}{244941}First.
{244989}{245076}Yet upon you I have|no desire for vengeance.
{245096}{245155}Your property|shall not be touched.
{245157}{245243}You will retain the rank|and title of Roman senator.
{245245}{245295}A house...
{245297}{245399}a farmhouse in Picenum|has been provided foryour exile.
{245401}{245451}You may take your women|with you.
{245500}{245596}Why am I to be left|so conspicuously alive?
{245598}{245687}Your followers are|deluded enough to trust you.
{245689}{245762}I intend that you shall speak to them|tomorrow for their own good...
{245764}{245845}their peaceful|and profitable future.
{245847}{245914}From time to time thereafter,|I may find it useful...
{245916}{245991}to bring you back to Rome|to continue your duty to her...
{245993}{246062}to calm the envious spirit...
{246064}{246116}and the troubled mind.
{246118}{246246}You will persuade them|to accept destiny and order...
{246248}{246302}and trust the gods!
{246404}{246451}You may go.
{246710}{246755}Halt!
{247856}{247931}Now, why hide|behind that stola?
{248052}{248101}That's better.
{248103}{248184}That dress took some weeks|ofa woman's life.
{248186}{248295}You, above all people, should respect|the work ofslaves and wear it proudly.
{248297}{248342}Come here.
{248682}{248732}This belonged to a queen...
{248768}{248818}the queen of Persia.
{248834}{248884}It's heavy.
{248920}{248976}In time you will wear it|lightly enough.
{249299}{249344}Sit down.
{249418}{249496}Will you have|some squab and honey?
{249531}{249566}No.
{249568}{249618}You'll enjoy it.
{249648}{249698}And a piece of melon?
{249800}{249850}And some wine, ofcourse.
{249896}{249936}Eat.
{250070}{250119}I did not command you to eat.
{250121}{250171}I invited you.
{250207}{250265}You find the richness|ofyour surroundings...
{250267}{250317}makes conversation difficult?
{250384}{250434}Why am I here?
{250513}{250571}Good question.
{250573}{250640}A woman's question.
{250642}{250729}I wish the answer could be|as good and straightforward.
{250827}{250911}- The infant-- it thrives?|- He thrives.
{250913}{250967}I purchased a wet nurse|for him yesterday.
{250969}{251023}I hope milk agrees with him.
{251095}{251152}I sent her away.
{251154}{251220}I prefer to nurse|the child myself.
{251249}{251299}I'm not sure I approve.
{251328}{251398}It ties you to the old life.
{251400}{251486}I want you to begin|to look forward to the new.
{251541}{251609}I don't care|about my new life here.
{251611}{251680}You care about the life|ofyour child, don't you?
{251721}{251794}Why do you threaten me|with my baby?
{251796}{251859}I belong to you.|You can take me anytime you wish.
{251873}{251938}But I don't want to take you.
{251961}{252016}I want you to give.
{252054}{252104}I want your love, Varinia.
{252205}{252263}You think by threatening|to kill my child...
{252265}{252314}you'll make me love you?
{252316}{252396}I did not threaten|to kill your child.
{252564}{252638}I'm sorry, Varinia.
{252789}{252844}One shouldn't grieve forever.
{252869}{252919}I'm not grieving.
{252921}{252971}I'm remembering.
{252973}{253027}Do I interfere|with your memories?
{253056}{253106}No.
{253157}{253208}You tread the ridge|between truth and insult...
{253210}{253260}with the skill|ofa mountain goat!
{253364}{253438}What do you remember|when you think about Spartacus?
{253503}{253557}It doesn't distress you|to talk about him?
{253559}{253584}No.
{253634}{253680}Well, then...
{253719}{253785}what sort ofa man was he...
{253801}{253841}really?
{253944}{254014}He was a man|who began all alone...
{254016}{254074}like an animal.
{254076}{254126}Yet on the day he died...
{254128}{254212}thousands and thousands|would gladly have died in his place.
{254252}{254315}What was he?|Was he a god?
{254353}{254403}He wasn't a god.
{254419}{254472}He was a simple man.
{254474}{254520}A slave.
{254582}{254627}I loved him.
{254652}{254710}He was an outlaw!|A murderer!
{254712}{254804}An enemy to everything fine|and decent that Rome ever built!
{254839}{254890}Damn you! You tell me.
{254892}{254948}- Why did you love him?|- I can't tell you.
{254976}{255035}I can't tell you things|you can never understand.
{255081}{255150}But I want to understand.
{255168}{255268}Don't you see?|I must understand.
{255473}{255531}You're afraid of him,|aren't you?
{255631}{255686}That's why you want his wife...
{255688}{255783}to soothe your fear|by having something he had.
{255832}{255924}When you're so afraid,|nothing can help.
{255926}{255971}Nothing.
{256160}{256200}We shall see.
{256806}{256860}Could we have won,|Spartacus?
{256913}{256964}Could we ever have won?
{257071}{257137}Just by fighting them,|we won something.
{257219}{257299}When just one man says,|''No, I won't''...
{257301}{257352}Rome begins to fear.
{257472}{257535}And we were tens ofthousands|who said no.
{257565}{257632}That was the wonder of it.
{257634}{257720}To have seen slaves|lift their heads from the dust...
{257772}{257839}to see them rise|from their knees...
{257856}{257906}stand tall...
{257956}{258007}with a song on their lips...
{258048}{258093}to hear them...
{258117}{258204}storm through the mountains|shouting...
{258260}{258327}to hear them sing|along the plains.
{258412}{258467}And now they're dead.
{258528}{258568}Dead.
{258720}{258760}Varinia...
{258841}{258881}dead.
{258975}{259025}And the baby.
{259331}{259371}All ofthem.
{259635}{259695}Are you afraid to die,|Spartacus?
{259766}{259821}No more than I was|to be born.
{260098}{260148}Are you afraid?
{260216}{260266}Yes.
{260556}{260603}Hail Counsel!
{260605}{260667}Guards, fall in.
{260669}{260740}- Where are the gladiators?|- Over there, sir.
{261326}{261428}Antoninus, the night passes slowly,|doesn't it?
{261868}{261914}You are he...
{261935}{261975}aren't you?
{262048}{262151}Gladiator,|I'm Marcus Licinius Crassus.
{262226}{262340}You must answer|when I speak to you.
{262885}{262925}Centurion!
{262994}{263084}Let them fight now.|Unchain them.
{263086}{263142}The entire city's been told|they'll fight tomorrow...
{263144}{263192}in the temple ofyour ancestors.
{263194}{263273}They will fight now, for me.|Here!
{263275}{263318}And to the death.
{263320}{263368}And the victor shall be crucified.
{263370}{263474}We will test this myth|ofslave brotherhood.
{263476}{263509}Unchain them!
{263693}{263739}Form a circle.
{264130}{264180}Don't give them|the pleasure ofa contest.
{264182}{264232}Loweryour guard.|I'll kill you on the first rush.
{264234}{264310}- I won't let them crucify you!|- It's my last order. Obey it!
{264312}{264357}Let them begin.
{265236}{265290}I won't let them crucify you.
{265547}{265607}Do you realize how long it takes|to die on the cross?
{265609}{265650}I don't care!
{266055}{266106}Forgive me, Antoninus.
{266352}{266453}I love you, Spartacus,|as I loved my own father.
{266469}{266521}I love you...
{266523}{266585}like my son|that I'll never see.
{266689}{266739}Go to sleep.
{267550}{267601}Here's your victory.
{267649}{267699}He'll come back.
{267701}{267764}He'll come back|and he'll be millions!
{267881}{267956}I wonder what Spartacus|would say...
{267958}{268045}if he knew that the woman,|Varinia, and her child...
{268065}{268123}are slaves in my household?
{268431}{268473}Yes.
{268663}{268708}Crucify him!
{269164}{269227}I want no grave for him.|No marker.
{269229}{269313}His body's to be burnt|and his ashes scattered in secret.
{269549}{269606}Did you fear him, Crassus?
{269608}{269658}Not when I fought him.
{269660}{269708}I knew he could be beaten.
{269710}{269803}But now I fear him,|even more than I fearyou.
{269805}{269877}- Me?|- Yes, my dear Caesar.
{269879}{269919}You!
{269947}{270021}I don't see the letter here|to the leader ofthe senate.
{270058}{270126}Julia, I don't like|the sound ofweeping.
{270128}{270191}This is a happy house.|Please stop it.
{270218}{270293}There you are. Go away,Julia!|Where have you been all this time?
{270295}{270353}The city is full of Crassus' legions.|We've been hiding.
{270355}{270417}I don't know Rome|as well as I know Capua.
{270419}{270473}They're arresting everyone!
{270699}{270747}So this is the woman...
{270749}{270803}it took Crassus'|eight Roman legions to conquer!
{270805}{270885}I wish I had time to make|your acquaintance, my dear.
{270887}{270973}Unfortunately, we all have|to makejourneys...
{270975}{271025}to different destinations.
{271027}{271113}- Where are we going?|- You're going to Aquitania.
{271115}{271179}The governor's one|of my innumerable cousins.
{271181}{271235}Here's a senatorial pass.|It's valid in all the known world.
{271237}{271287}Why do I have to go|to Aquitania?
{271289}{271339}'Cause I askyou to.
{271341}{271399}It's very good ofyou, Gracchus,|but I'd rather--
{271401}{271495}Double the money I promised you.|Here's two million sesterces.
{271497}{271554}Two million?
{271556}{271628}Here. Articles of Freedom|for the woman.
{271654}{271710}And here's a smaller document|that I've prepared...
{271712}{271793}for the child|befitting its size.
{271922}{271967}Where are you going?
{272025}{272070}To Picenum.
{272072}{272144}Picenum?|That's the dreariest town in Italy.
{272146}{272191}Will you please leave me?
{272228}{272273}Come with us.
{272275}{272329}See to it that I don't misuse|the money.
{272331}{272382}Don't be ridiculous.|I'm a senator.
{272384}{272470}Will you please go|before the soldiers come here?
{272648}{272734}This would really make|Crassusjealous.
{272765}{272815}Go and make|myjoy complete.
{272817}{272892}Save your tears now.|Save them for thejourney.
{273148}{273198}Prettier.
{273649}{273689}Halt!
{273805}{273853}Identify yourselves, please.
{273891}{273971}- Lentulus Batiatus.|- Climb down and identify yourselves.
{273973}{274042}- I object to that tone.|- I've got my orders.
{274044}{274102}Come down|and identify yourselves, please.
{274295}{274380}As I told you, I'm Lentulus Batiatus,|the lanista from Capua.
{274382}{274480}This--|my sister-in-law.
{274557}{274603}Lady, please.
{274626}{274691}She's travelling...
{274693}{274790}with her child to Aquitania|on a senatorial pass.
{274792}{274874}- Take a look through his baggage.|- Not a word, please.
{275017}{275063}What did you say?
{276093}{276170}- Tell the lady no loitering's allowed.|- Instantly.
{276172}{276228}Move on!
{276321}{276371}This is your son.
{276410}{276461}He's free, Spartacus!
{276477}{276522}Free!
{276573}{276620}He's free.
{276748}{276798}He'll rememberyou, Spartacus.
{276822}{276872}Because I'll tell him.
{276897}{276978}I'll tell him who his father was|and what he dreamed of!
{277056}{277140}Varinia, have mercy on us.|Get in the wagon.
{277168}{277218}My love, my life.
{277280}{277345}Please die. Die.
{277347}{277428}Please, please die, my love.
{277430}{277483}Oh, God!|Why can't you die?
{277485}{277532}Come on.
{277918}{277990}Good-bye, my love, my life.
{277992}{278031}Good-bye, good-bye.
