- Sir.|- General.
[00:03:12]

[00:03:22]
Sir.
[00:03:23]

[00:03:38]
Lean and hungry.
[00:03:39]

[00:03:42]
- Still nothing?|- Not a sign.
[00:03:45]
- How long has he been gone?|- Nearly two hours.
[00:03:48]

[00:03:51]
- Will they fight, sir?|- We shall know soon enough.
[00:03:54]
Soldier, I ordered you|to move those catapults forward.
[00:03:56]
- They're out of range.|- Range is good.
[00:03:59]

[00:04:00]
- The danger to the cavalry--|- Is acceptable. Agreed?
[00:04:03]

[00:04:13]
They say no.
[00:04:14]

[00:04:23]
Steady! Steady!
[00:04:25]

[00:04:39]
People should know|when they're conquered.
[00:04:41]

[00:04:51]
Would you, Quintus?
[00:04:54]
Would I?
[00:04:55]

[00:05:11]
- Strength and honor.|- Strength and honor.
[00:05:13]

[00:05:19]
At my signal,|unleash hell.
[00:05:22]

[00:05:44]
Load the catapults.
[00:05:45]

[00:05:46]
Infantry form up for advance.
[00:05:48]

[00:05:49]
- Archers ready.|- Archers!
[00:05:52]
- Nock!|- Nock!
[00:05:54]

[00:06:16]
Fratres!
[00:06:18]
Maximus!
[00:06:19]

[00:06:21]
Three weeks from now,|I will be harvesting my crops.
[00:06:25]
Imagine where you will be,|and it will be so.
[00:06:29]

[00:06:30]
Hold the line!|Stay with me!
[00:06:33]
If you find yourself alone...
[00:06:36]
riding in green fields|with the sun on your face...
[00:06:38]

[00:06:40]
do not be troubled.
[00:06:43]
For you are in Elysium,|and you're already dead!
[00:06:46]

[00:06:48]
Brothers...
[00:06:50]

[00:06:51]
what we do in life...
[00:06:54]
echoes in eternity.
[00:06:56]

[00:07:03]
Pull!
[00:07:05]

[00:07:12]
Pull! Pull!
[00:07:15]

[00:07:20]
Catapults ready, sir!
[00:07:22]

[00:07:32]
Archers, ignite!
[00:07:34]
- Ignite!|- Ignite!
[00:07:37]

[00:07:42]
Archers, draw!
[00:07:45]

[00:07:48]
Loose!
[00:07:49]

[00:07:51]
Loose!
[00:07:52]

[00:08:18]
All right, men, ready!
[00:08:19]

[00:08:25]
Hold the line!
[00:08:27]

[00:08:33]
Draw! Loose!
[00:08:35]
Loose! Loose!
[00:08:37]
Reload!
[00:08:39]

[00:08:43]
Hold the line!
[00:08:45]
Draw! Loose!
[00:08:48]

[00:08:50]
Stay with me!
[00:08:52]

[00:08:57]
Stay with me!
[00:08:59]

[00:09:26]
Roma victor!
[00:09:29]

[00:11:55]
Roma victor!
[00:11:57]

[00:12:37]
Do you think|he's really dying?
[00:12:39]

[00:12:41]
He's been dying|for ten years.
[00:12:43]

[00:12:45]
If he weren't really dying,|he wouldn't have sent for us.
[00:12:47]
Maybe he just misses us.
[00:12:49]
And the senators?|He wouldn't have summoned them if--
[00:12:52]
Peace, Commodus.
[00:12:53]
After two weeks on the road, your|incessant scheming is hurting my head.
[00:12:56]

[00:13:04]
He's made his decision.
[00:13:06]
He's going to announce it.
[00:13:08]

[00:13:11]
He will name me.
[00:13:13]

[00:13:15]
The first thing I shall do...
[00:13:18]
when--
[00:13:20]

[00:13:22]
is honor him with games|worthy of His Majesty.
[00:13:25]
For now, the first thing|I shall do is have a hot bath.
[00:13:30]

[00:13:31]
Your Highness?
[00:13:33]

[00:13:36]
We seem to be|almost there, sir.
[00:13:38]

[00:13:45]
- Sire.|- Where's the emperor?
[00:13:46]

[00:13:47]
He's at the front, sire.|They've been gone for 19 days.
[00:13:50]
The wounded are|still coming in.
[00:13:52]
My horse.
[00:13:54]
My lord.
[00:13:56]

[00:13:59]
Kiss?
[00:14:00]

[00:14:35]
You have proved your valor|yet again, Maximus.
[00:14:38]

[00:14:40]
Let us hope|for the last time.
[00:14:43]
There's no one|left to fight, sire.
[00:14:45]
There is always|someone left to fight.
[00:14:48]
How can I reward|Rome's greatest general?
[00:14:51]

[00:14:56]
Let me go home.
[00:14:57]

[00:14:59]
Ah. Home.
[00:15:01]

[00:15:19]
They honor you, Caesar.
[00:15:21]
It's for you, Maximus.|They honor you.
[00:15:24]

[00:15:45]
Have I missed it?|Have I missed the battle?
[00:15:48]

[00:15:50]
You have missed the war.
[00:15:51]
Father, congratulations.
[00:15:54]
I shall sacrifice a hundred bulls|to honor your triumph.
[00:15:56]
Save the bulls.
[00:15:58]
Honor Maximus.|He won the battle.
[00:16:00]

[00:16:01]
- General.|- Highness.
[00:16:03]

[00:16:04]
Rome salutes you,|and I embrace you as a brother.
[00:16:07]
It has been too long,|my old friend.
[00:16:09]
- Highness.|- Here, Father.
[00:16:11]
Take my arm.
[00:16:14]

[00:16:15]
I think it is time|for me to leave.
[00:16:18]

[00:16:32]
So much for|the glory of Rome.
[00:16:35]

[00:16:55]
Magnificent battle.
[00:16:57]

[00:17:19]
- General.|- Still alive?
[00:17:21]
- Still alive.|- The gods must have a sense of humor.
[00:17:24]
- The gods must love you.|- Valerius.
[00:17:27]
Back to barracks, General?|Or to Rome?
[00:17:29]
Home. My wife,|the son, the harvest.
[00:17:32]

[00:17:33]
Maximus the farmer.|I still have difficulty imagining that.
[00:17:36]

[00:17:37]
You know, dirt cleans off a lot|easier than blood, Quintus.
[00:17:40]
- Here he is.|- Highness.
[00:17:42]
Senator Gaius, Senator Falco.
[00:17:44]
Beware of Gaius. He'll pour|a honeyed potion in your ear...
[00:17:47]
and you'll wake up one day and all|you'll say is, "Republic, republic."
[00:17:50]
Well, why not?|Rome was founded as a republic.
[00:17:53]
Yes, and in a republic|the senate has the power.
[00:17:56]
But Senator Gaius isn't|influenced by that, of course.
[00:17:58]
Where do you stand, General?|Emperor or senate?
[00:18:01]
A soldier has the advantage|of being able...
[00:18:03]
to look his enemy|in the eye, Senator.
[00:18:06]
Well, with an army behind you,|you could be extremely political.
[00:18:10]
I warned you.|Now I shall save you. Senators.
[00:18:13]

[00:18:22]
Maximus.
[00:18:24]

[00:18:25]
I'm going to need|good men like you.
[00:18:27]

[00:18:29]
How may I be of service,|Highness?
[00:18:32]
You're a man who knows|what it is to command.
[00:18:35]
You give your orders, the orders|are obeyed and the battle is won.
[00:18:38]
But these senators scheme and squabble|and flatter and deceive.
[00:18:42]
Maximus, we must save Rome|from the politicians, my friend.
[00:18:46]
Can I count on you|when the time comes?
[00:18:49]

[00:18:55]
Highness, when your father releases me,|I intend to return home.
[00:18:58]
Home? Well, no one's earned it more.
[00:19:02]
Don't get too comfortable.|I may call on you before long.
[00:19:06]

[00:19:08]
Lucilla's here.|Did you know?
[00:19:11]
She's not forgotten you.
[00:19:13]

[00:19:14]
And now you're the great man.
[00:19:16]

[00:19:27]
If only you|had been born a man.
[00:19:30]

[00:19:31]
What a caesar|you would have made!
[00:19:33]

[00:19:35]
Father.
[00:19:36]

[00:19:42]
You would have been strong.
[00:19:44]
I wonder,|would you have been just?
[00:19:47]
I would have been|what you taught me to be.
[00:19:50]

[00:19:52]
How was your journey?
[00:19:54]
Long. Uncomfortable.|Why have I come?
[00:19:58]
I need your help.|With your brother.
[00:20:01]
Of course.
[00:20:03]
He loves you.|He always has.
[00:20:05]

[00:20:06]
And...
[00:20:07]

[00:20:09]
he will need you now|more than ever.
[00:20:12]

[00:20:16]
Enough of politics.
[00:20:18]
Let us pretend that|you are a loving daughter...
[00:20:22]
and I am a good father.
[00:20:25]

[00:20:30]
This is a pleasant fiction,|isn't it?
[00:20:33]

[00:20:45]
Good morning.
[00:20:46]

[00:20:59]
I need three more horses.
[00:21:01]

[00:21:11]
Two! Three!
[00:21:13]
Four!
[00:21:15]
One! Two!
[00:21:17]

[00:21:32]
You sent for me, Caesar?
[00:21:34]

[00:21:39]
- Caesar?|- Tell me again, Maximus.
[00:21:43]
Why are we here?
[00:21:45]

[00:21:46]
For the glory of the empire, sire.
[00:21:48]
Ah, yes.
[00:21:50]

[00:21:51]
Ah, yes, I remember.
[00:21:53]

[00:21:56]
Do you see that map, Maximus?
[00:21:58]

[00:21:59]
That is the world|which I created.
[00:22:02]

[00:22:03]
For 25 years...
[00:22:05]
I have conquered, spilt blood,|expanded the empire.
[00:22:09]

[00:22:10]
Since I became caesar,|I've known four years without war.
[00:22:13]
Four years of peace in 20.
[00:22:16]
And for what?
[00:22:18]

[00:22:25]
I brought the sword.|Nothing more.
[00:22:28]

[00:22:29]
Caesar, your life--
[00:22:31]
Please.|Please don't call me that.
[00:22:34]
Come. Please.
[00:22:36]
Come sit.
[00:22:39]
Let us talk together now--
[00:22:42]
very simply-- as men.
[00:22:44]

[00:22:46]
Maximus, talk.
[00:22:49]

[00:22:53]
Five thousand of my men are|out there in the freezing mud.
[00:22:55]
Three thousand of them|are bloodied and cleaved.
[00:22:58]
Two thousand will never|leave this place.
[00:23:00]
I will not believe that they|fought and died for nothing.
[00:23:02]
And what would you believe?
[00:23:04]
They fought for you and for Rome.
[00:23:07]
And what is Rome?
[00:23:09]

[00:23:11]
I've seen much|of the rest of the world.
[00:23:14]
It is brutal and cruel and dark.|Rome is the light.
[00:23:17]

[00:23:18]
Yet you have|never been there.
[00:23:19]

[00:23:20]
You have not seen|what it has become.
[00:23:22]
I am dying, Maximus.
[00:23:25]
When a man sees his end...
[00:23:27]
he wants to know there was|some purpose to his life.
[00:23:30]
How will the world speak my name|in years to come?
[00:23:34]
Will I be known|as the philosopher?
[00:23:36]
The warrior?
[00:23:38]
The tyrant?
[00:23:39]

[00:23:41]
Or will I be the emperor who|gave Rome back her true self?
[00:23:45]

[00:23:46]
There was once a dream|that was Rome.
[00:23:48]
You could only whisper it.
[00:23:51]
Anything more than a whisper|and it would vanish...
[00:23:54]
it was so fragile.
[00:23:56]
And I fear that it will not|survive the winter.
[00:24:00]

[00:24:01]
Maximus...
[00:24:04]
Iet us whisper now...
[00:24:06]

[00:24:07]
together, you and l.
[00:24:09]
You have a son.
[00:24:10]

[00:24:11]
Tell me about your home.
[00:24:13]

[00:24:20]
My house is in the hills|above Trujillo. A very simple place.
[00:24:24]

[00:24:26]
Pink stones|that warm in the sun.
[00:24:29]
A kitchen garden that|smells of herbs in the day...
[00:24:33]
jasmine in the evening.
[00:24:35]

[00:24:36]
Through the gate|is a giant poplar.
[00:24:39]
Figs, apples, pears.
[00:24:42]
The soil, Marcus-- black.|Black like my wife's hair.
[00:24:45]

[00:24:47]
Grapes on the south slopes,|olives on the north.
[00:24:49]
Wild ponies play near my house.|They tease my son. He wants to be one.
[00:24:52]

[00:24:53]
- Remember the last time you were home?|- Two years, 264 days and this morning.
[00:24:57]

[00:24:59]
I envy you, Maximus.
[00:25:01]
It's a good home.|Worth fighting for.
[00:25:05]

[00:25:08]
There is one more duty...
[00:25:10]

[00:25:11]
that I ask ofyou|before you go home.
[00:25:14]

[00:25:15]
What would you|have me do, Caesar?
[00:25:17]
I want you to become|the protector of Rome after I die.
[00:25:21]

[00:25:22]
I will empower you|to one end alone--
[00:25:25]
to give power back|to the people of Rome...
[00:25:29]
and end the corruption|that has crippled it.
[00:25:32]

[00:25:38]
Will you accept this great honor|that I have offered you?
[00:25:41]

[00:25:43]
With all my heart, no.
[00:25:45]

[00:25:47]
Maximus...
[00:25:49]
that is why it must be you.
[00:25:52]
But surely a prefect,|a senator...
[00:25:54]
somebody who knows the city,|who understands her politics.
[00:25:57]
But you have not been|corrupted by her politics.
[00:26:00]

[00:26:05]
- And Commodus?|- Commodus is not a moral man.
[00:26:09]
You have known that|since you were young.
[00:26:11]
Commodus cannot rule.
[00:26:13]
He must not rule.
[00:26:16]

[00:26:17]
You are the son|that I should have had.
[00:26:20]

[00:26:22]
Commodus will accept my decision.
[00:26:25]

[00:26:27]
He knows that you command|the loyalty of the army.
[00:26:32]

[00:26:36]
I need some time, sire.
[00:26:38]
Yes.
[00:26:40]
By sunset,|I hope you will have agreed.
[00:26:44]
Now embrace me as my son.
[00:26:47]

[00:26:50]
And bring an old man|another blanket.
[00:26:52]

[00:27:08]
- My father favors you now.|- My lady.
[00:27:10]
- It was not always so.|- Many things change.
[00:27:14]
Many things.|Not everything.
[00:27:17]

[00:27:19]
Maximus, stop.
[00:27:21]

[00:27:25]
Let me see your face.
[00:27:26]

[00:27:29]
- You seem upset.|- I lost many men.
[00:27:31]

[00:27:32]
What did my father|want with you?
[00:27:35]
To wish me well|before I leave for home.
[00:27:39]
You're lying.
[00:27:41]
I could always tell when you were lying|because you were never any good at it.
[00:27:44]
- I never acquired your comfort with it.|- True.
[00:27:46]

[00:27:47]
But then you never had to.
[00:27:49]
Life is more simple|for a soldier.
[00:27:52]

[00:27:53]
Or do you think me heartless?
[00:27:56]

[00:27:57]
I think you have|a talent for survival.
[00:27:59]

[00:28:05]
Maximus, stop.
[00:28:07]

[00:28:08]
Is it really so terrible|seeing me again?
[00:28:11]
No. I'm tired from battle.
[00:28:14]
It hurts you to see|my father so fragile.
[00:28:17]

[00:28:20]
Commodus expects that my father will|announce his succession within days.
[00:28:24]

[00:28:26]
Will you serve my brother|as you served his father?
[00:28:29]

[00:28:31]
I will always serve Rome.
[00:28:33]

[00:28:35]
Do you know...
[00:28:37]
I still remember you|in my prayers.
[00:28:39]

[00:28:40]
Oh, yes. I pray.
[00:28:43]

[00:28:47]
I was sad to hear|of your husband's death. I mourned him.
[00:28:50]

[00:28:52]
- Thankyou.|- And I hear you have a son.
[00:28:55]

[00:28:56]
Yes. Lucius.
[00:28:59]

[00:29:00]
He'll be nearly|eight years old.
[00:29:02]
My son is also nearly eight.
[00:29:04]

[00:29:07]
I thank you for your prayers.
[00:29:09]

[00:29:17]
Ancestors, I ask|for your guidance.
[00:29:19]

[00:29:20]
Blessed Mother, come to me|with the gods' desire for my future.
[00:29:24]

[00:29:25]
Blessed Father, watch over|my wife and son with a ready sword.
[00:29:28]

[00:29:30]
Whisper to them I live|only to hold them again.
[00:29:33]

[00:29:34]
Ancestors, I honor you...
[00:29:36]

[00:29:37]
and will try to live with|the dignity you have taught me.
[00:29:40]

[00:30:02]
Cicero.
[00:30:03]

[00:30:07]
Sir.
[00:30:08]

[00:30:12]
You don't find it hard|to do your duty?
[00:30:15]

[00:30:18]
Sometimes I do|what I want to do.
[00:30:21]
The rest of the time|I do what I have to.
[00:30:24]

[00:30:27]
We may not be able|to go home after all.
[00:30:30]

[00:30:58]
Are you ready to do|your duty for Rome?
[00:31:01]

[00:31:04]
Yes, Father.
[00:31:05]

[00:31:06]
You will not be emperor.
[00:31:08]

[00:31:11]
Which wiser, older man|is to take my place?
[00:31:14]
My powers|will pass to Maximus...
[00:31:17]
to hold in trust...
[00:31:19]
until the senate|is ready to rule once more.
[00:31:23]

[00:31:24]
Rome is to be|a republic again.
[00:31:28]

[00:31:29]
- Maximus.|- Yes.
[00:31:31]

[00:31:38]
My decision disappoints you?
[00:31:40]

[00:31:43]
You wrote to me once...
[00:31:45]

[00:31:47]
Listing the four chief virtues.
[00:31:49]

[00:31:51]
Wisdom, justice...
[00:31:54]
fortitude...
[00:31:55]
and temperance.
[00:31:57]

[00:31:59]
As I read the list,|I knew I had none of them.
[00:32:02]

[00:32:03]
But I have other virtues, Father.
[00:32:06]

[00:32:07]
Ambition.
[00:32:08]

[00:32:09]
That can be a virtue|when it drives us to excel.
[00:32:12]

[00:32:14]
Resource fulness.|Courage.
[00:32:17]
Perhaps not on|the battlefield, but...
[00:32:20]
there are many forms of courage.
[00:32:23]
Devotion to my family...
[00:32:26]
and to you.
[00:32:29]

[00:32:30]
But none of my virtues|were on your list.
[00:32:33]

[00:32:35]
Even then it was as if|you didn't want me for your son.
[00:32:38]

[00:32:40]
You go too far.
[00:32:43]
I searched the faces|of the gods...
[00:32:46]
for ways to please you,|to make you proud.
[00:32:51]
One kind word...
[00:32:53]
one full hug...
[00:32:56]
where you pressed me|to your chest and held me tight...
[00:32:59]

[00:33:00]
would have been like the sun|on my heart for a thousand years.
[00:33:03]

[00:33:06]
What is it in me|you hate so much?
[00:33:09]

[00:33:11]
All I've ever wanted...
[00:33:13]
was to live up to you, Caesar.
[00:33:18]

[00:33:19]
- Father.|- Commodus.
[00:33:21]

[00:33:25]
Your fault as a son...
[00:33:28]
is my failure as a father.
[00:33:31]

[00:33:42]
Come.
[00:33:43]

[00:33:47]
Father.
[00:33:48]

[00:34:03]
I would butcher|the whole world...
[00:34:06]
if you would only have loved me!
[00:34:08]

[00:34:44]
Maximus, the emperor needs you.|It's urgent.
[00:34:47]

[00:34:53]
Lament with me, brother.|Our great father is dead.
[00:34:57]

[00:35:23]
How did he die?
[00:35:24]

[00:35:26]
The surgeons say|there was no pain.
[00:35:28]
His breath gave out as he slept.
[00:35:30]

[00:35:40]
Father.
[00:35:41]

[00:35:43]
Your emperor asks|for your loyalty, Maximus.
[00:35:46]

[00:35:47]
Take my hand.
[00:35:50]

[00:35:51]
I only offer it once.
[00:35:53]

[00:36:07]
Quintus.
[00:36:08]

[00:36:56]
Hail, Caesar.
[00:36:58]
I must talk to the senators.|I need their counsel.
[00:37:01]
Wake Gaius and Falco.
[00:37:04]
- Sword.|- Sword.
[00:37:06]

[00:37:08]
Maximus, please be careful.|That was not prudent.
[00:37:11]
Prudent?|The emperor has been slain.
[00:37:14]
The emperor died|of natural causes.
[00:37:17]

[00:37:18]
- Why are you armed, Quintus?|- Guards!
[00:37:20]

[00:37:23]
Please don't fight, Maximus.
[00:37:26]

[00:37:27]
I'm sorry.|Caesar has spoken.
[00:37:29]

[00:37:30]
Ride until dawn...
[00:37:32]
and then execute him.
[00:37:34]
Quintus, look at me.|Look at me!
[00:37:36]
Promise me that you will|look after my family.
[00:37:39]

[00:37:41]
Your family will meet you|in the afterlife.
[00:37:43]

[00:38:07]
Kneel.
[00:38:09]

[00:38:12]
Blessed Father,|watch over my wife and son.
[00:38:14]
Whisper to them that llive|only to hold them again.
[00:38:17]

[00:38:19]
At least give me a clean death.
[00:38:21]

[00:38:23]
A soldier's death.
[00:38:25]

[00:38:46]
The frost, sometimes|it makes the blade stick.
[00:38:49]

[00:39:08]
Praetorian!
[00:39:09]

[00:40:26]
- Remember the last time you were home?|- Two years, 264 days and this morning.
[00:40:31]

[00:40:33]
Blessed Father, watch over|my wife and son with a ready sword.
[00:40:37]
Whisper to them I live only to hold them|again, for all else is dust and air.
[00:40:41]
Whisper to them|I live only to hold them again...
[00:40:45]
for all else is dust and air.
[00:40:48]

[00:41:44]
Papa! Papa!
[00:41:46]

[00:44:24]
Don't die.
[00:44:26]

[00:44:32]
You'll meet them again.
[00:44:34]

[00:44:36]
Not yet.
[00:44:37]

[00:44:45]
No. They will clean it.|Wait and see.
[00:44:49]

[00:45:21]
Don't die.
[00:45:23]
They'll feed you to the lions.
[00:45:25]

[00:45:26]
They are worth more than we are.
[00:45:27]

[00:45:37]
Better now?
[00:45:39]

[00:45:40]
Clean. You see?
[00:45:42]

[00:46:11]
Proximo!
[00:46:13]
My old friend.
[00:46:15]
Every day is a great day|when you are here...
[00:46:18]

[00:46:19]
but today|is your most fortunate day.
[00:46:23]

[00:46:25]
Those giraffes you sold me...
[00:46:28]
they won't mate.
[00:46:29]
They just walk around eating...
[00:46:32]
and not mating.
[00:46:34]
You sold me...
[00:46:36]
queer giraffes.
[00:46:37]
- I want my money back.|- Not a chance.
[00:46:41]

[00:46:44]
I do special price for you.
[00:46:45]
On what?
[00:46:47]

[00:46:49]
Have you seen my new stock?|Come and see them.
[00:46:52]

[00:47:05]
Do any of them fight?|I've got a match coming up.
[00:47:08]
Some are good for fighting,|others for dying.
[00:47:10]
You need both, I think.
[00:47:12]
Get up.
[00:47:14]

[00:47:21]
What's your trade?
[00:47:24]
I was a hunter.
[00:47:25]

[00:47:26]
I bought him from a salt mine|in Carthage.
[00:47:29]
Sit down.
[00:47:30]

[00:47:35]
Mark of the legion.
[00:47:37]
- Deserter.|- Maybe so. But who cares?
[00:47:40]
- He's a Spaniard.|- I'll take six.
[00:47:42]
- For one thousand.|- One thousand?
[00:47:44]
The Numidian alone is worth 2,000.
[00:47:46]
These slaves are rotten.
[00:47:49]
It all adds to the flavor.
[00:47:51]
Wait, wait. Wait!
[00:47:52]
I can negotiate.
[00:47:54]

[00:47:55]
I'll give you 2,000...
[00:47:57]
and four for the beasts.
[00:47:59]
That's 5,000 for an old friend.
[00:48:01]

[00:48:18]
Come on! How long does it take|to get into my own house?
[00:48:20]

[00:48:21]
I am Proximo.
[00:48:23]
I shall be closer to you|for the next few days...
[00:48:26]
which will be the last|of your miserable lives...
[00:48:29]
than that bitch of a mother that|brought you screaming into this world.
[00:48:33]
I did not pay good money for you|for your company.
[00:48:36]

[00:48:37]
I paid it so that I could|profit from your death.
[00:48:40]

[00:48:42]
And as your mother was there|at your beginning...
[00:48:45]
so I shall be there at your end.
[00:48:48]

[00:48:50]
And when you die,|and die you shall...
[00:48:53]

[00:48:54]
your transition|shall be to the sound of--
[00:48:56]

[00:49:01]
Gladiators...
[00:49:02]

[00:49:03]
I salute you.
[00:49:04]

[00:49:08]
- Red.|- Red.
[00:49:10]

[00:49:14]
Yellow.
[00:49:15]

[00:49:16]
Yellow.
[00:49:18]

[00:49:28]
Good.
[00:49:29]
- Red.|- Red.
[00:49:31]

[00:49:35]
Spaniard.
[00:49:37]

[00:50:09]
That's enough for the moment!
[00:50:11]
His time will come.
[00:50:13]

[00:50:16]
Next.
[00:50:17]

[00:50:30]
Spaniard.
[00:50:31]

[00:50:32]
Why don't you fight?
[00:50:34]
We all have to fight.
[00:50:35]

[00:50:49]
Is that the sign of your gods?
[00:50:51]

[00:50:56]
Will that not anger them?
[00:50:58]

[00:51:19]
The gods favor you.
[00:51:21]
Red is the gods' color.
[00:51:23]

[00:51:24]
You will need their help today.
[00:51:26]

[00:51:43]
Some of you are thinking|you won't fight...
[00:51:46]

[00:51:47]
and some that you can't fight.
[00:51:49]

[00:51:50]
They all say that...
[00:51:52]
until they're out there.
[00:51:54]

[00:51:56]
Listen.
[00:51:57]
Kill! Kill! Kill!
[00:52:00]

[00:52:07]
Thrust this|into another man's flesh.
[00:52:10]
They will applaud|and love you for that.
[00:52:12]
And you--
[00:52:13]

[00:52:15]
you may begin to love them...
[00:52:17]

[00:52:18]
for that.
[00:52:20]

[00:52:24]
Ultimately...
[00:52:25]

[00:52:26]
we're all dead men.
[00:52:28]

[00:52:29]
Sadly, we cannot choose how, but...
[00:52:33]
we can decide|how we meet that end...
[00:52:36]
in order|that we are remembered...
[00:52:39]

[00:52:40]
as men.
[00:52:42]

[00:52:46]
On the left,|draw your shields!
[00:52:49]
On the right,|draw your swords!
[00:52:52]
Kill! Kill! Kill!
[00:52:54]

[00:52:55]
Pair them up--|red with yellow.
[00:52:57]

[00:53:02]
Next!
[00:53:03]

[00:53:08]
Move it!
[00:53:09]

[00:56:42]
- Go away!|- You'll never rule us, Commodus!
[00:56:44]

[00:57:13]
He enters Rome like a conquering hero.|But what has he conquered?
[00:57:18]
Give him time, Gracchus.|He's young.
[00:57:21]
I think he could do very well.
[00:57:23]
For Rome, or for you?
[00:57:25]

[00:57:31]
Go to your mother, Lucius.|It's what she'd like.
[00:57:34]

[00:57:40]
Lucius!
[00:57:41]

[00:57:42]
Mother!
[00:57:43]

[00:57:45]
Hail, Caesar.
[00:57:46]
Senators.
[00:57:48]

[00:57:51]
Rome greets her new emperor.
[00:57:54]
Your loyal subjects|bid you welcome, Highness.
[00:57:57]
Thank you, Falco.
[00:57:59]
And for the loyal subjects,|I trust they weren't too expensive.
[00:58:03]
- Caesar.|- Gracchus.
[00:58:05]
All Rome rejoices|in your return, Caesar.
[00:58:08]
There are many matters|that require your attention.
[00:58:10]

[00:58:14]
To order, please!|To order!
[00:58:17]
For your guidance, Caesar, the senate|has prepared a series of protocols...
[00:58:21]
to begin addressing|the many problems in the city...
[00:58:24]
beginning with basic sanitation|for the Greek quarter...
[00:58:29]
to combat the plague|which is already springing up there.
[00:58:32]
So, if Caesar--
[00:58:33]

[00:58:36]
Don't you see, Gracchus?
[00:58:38]

[00:58:39]
That's the very problem,|isn't it?
[00:58:41]
My father spent|all his time at study...
[00:58:44]

[00:58:46]
at books of learning|and philosophy.
[00:58:50]
He spent his twilight hours|reading scrolls from the senate.
[00:58:53]

[00:58:54]
And all the while|the people were forgotten.
[00:58:58]

[00:58:59]
But the senate|is the people, sire...
[00:59:01]
chosen from among the people|to speak for the people.
[00:59:04]
I doubt many of the people|eat so well as you do, Gracchus...
[00:59:08]

[00:59:09]
or have such|splendid mistresses, Gaius.
[00:59:10]
I think I understand my own people.
[00:59:13]
Then perhaps Caesar will be so good|as to teach us...
[00:59:17]
out of his own extensive experience.
[00:59:19]

[00:59:23]
I call it love.
[00:59:25]
I am their father.
[00:59:27]
The people are my children.
[00:59:29]
I shall hold them to my bosom|and embrace them tightly.
[00:59:31]
Have you ever embraced someone|dying of plague, sire?
[00:59:33]

[00:59:40]
No, but if you interrupt me again...
[00:59:43]

[00:59:44]
I assure you that you shall.
[00:59:45]
Senator,|my brother is very tired.
[00:59:48]
Leave your list with me.
[00:59:51]
Caesar shall do|all that Rome requires.
[00:59:53]
My lady, as always...
[00:59:55]

[00:59:56]
your lightest touch|commands obedience.
[00:59:58]

[01:00:05]
Who are they to lecture me?
[01:00:07]
Commodus, the senate has its uses.
[01:00:10]
What uses?|All they do is talk.
[01:00:13]

[01:00:14]
It should bejust...
[01:00:16]
you and me...
[01:00:17]
and Rome.
[01:00:18]
Don't even think it.
[01:00:19]

[01:00:20]
There's always been a senate.
[01:00:22]
Rome has changed.
[01:00:24]
It takes an emperor|to rule an empire.
[01:00:26]
Of course,|but leave the people their--
[01:00:29]
Illusions?
[01:00:30]

[01:00:32]
Traditions.
[01:00:34]
My father's war|against the barbarians--
[01:00:37]
He said it himself: it achieved nothing.|But the people loved him.
[01:00:41]
The people always love victories.
[01:00:43]
Why?
[01:00:44]

[01:00:45]
They didn't see the battles.
[01:00:47]
What do they care about Germania?
[01:00:49]
They care about|the greatness of Rome.
[01:00:51]
The greatness of Rome.
[01:00:53]

[01:00:55]
Well, what is that?
[01:00:57]

[01:01:00]
It's an idea--
[01:01:01]
greatness.
[01:01:03]

[01:01:06]
Greatness is a vision.
[01:01:08]
Exactly. A vision.
[01:01:10]

[01:01:12]
Do you not see, Lucilla?
[01:01:14]

[01:01:15]
I will give the people a vision of Rome,|and they will love me for it.
[01:01:19]
And they'll soon forget the tedious|sermonizing of a few dry old men.
[01:01:24]

[01:01:35]
I will give the people|the greatest vision of their lives.
[01:01:38]

[01:02:27]
White and red wine|for your drinking pleasure!
[01:02:30]

[01:02:38]
Games.
[01:02:39]

[01:02:41]
One hundred and fifty days|of games.
[01:02:44]
He's cleverer than I thought.
[01:02:46]
Clever.
[01:02:47]
The whole of Rome|would be laughing at him...
[01:02:50]
if they weren't so afraid|of his praetorian.
[01:02:53]
Fear and wonder--|a powerful combination.
[01:02:55]

[01:02:56]
You really think the people|are going to be seduced by that?
[01:02:59]
I think he knows what Rome is.
[01:03:01]
Rome is the mob.
[01:03:03]
Conjure magic for them,|and they'll be distracted.
[01:03:06]

[01:03:07]
Take away their freedom,|and still they'll roar.
[01:03:10]
The beating heart of Rome...
[01:03:13]
is not the marble of the senate.
[01:03:15]
It's the sand of the Colosseum.
[01:03:17]

[01:03:19]
He'll bring them death...
[01:03:20]

[01:03:22]
and they will love him for it.
[01:03:25]

[01:03:45]
Spaniard.
[01:03:47]

[01:04:58]
Are you not entertained?
[01:04:59]

[01:05:00]
Are you not entertained?
[01:05:02]

[01:05:04]
Is this not why you are here?
[01:05:06]

[01:05:11]
Spaniard! Spaniard!
[01:05:12]

[01:05:30]
What do you want?
[01:05:32]

[01:05:34]
Girl?
[01:05:36]

[01:05:37]
Boy?
[01:05:38]
You sent for me.
[01:05:40]
Yes, I did.
[01:05:42]
You're good, Spaniard,|but you're not that good.
[01:05:44]
You could be magnificent.
[01:05:46]
I'm required to kill, so I kill.
[01:05:48]
That is enough.
[01:05:50]
That's enough for the provinces,|but not for Rome.
[01:05:53]

[01:05:56]
The young emperor...
[01:05:58]
has arranged|a series of spectacles...
[01:06:00]
to commemorate his father...
[01:06:02]
Marcus Aurelius.
[01:06:05]
I find that amusing...
[01:06:07]
since it was Marcus Aurelius--
[01:06:09]
the wise,|the all-knowing Marcus Aurelius--
[01:06:12]
that closed us down.
[01:06:13]

[01:06:16]
So, finally, after five years|of scratching a living...
[01:06:20]
in flea-infested villages...
[01:06:23]
we're finally going back|to where we belong--
[01:06:26]
the Colosseum.
[01:06:28]

[01:06:30]
Oh, you should see|the Colosseum, Spaniard.
[01:06:32]

[01:06:34]
Fifty thousand Romans...
[01:06:36]

[01:06:37]
watching every movement|of your sword...
[01:06:40]

[01:06:42]
willing you to make|that killer blow.
[01:06:44]

[01:06:45]
The silence before you strike...
[01:06:48]
and the noise afterwards.
[01:06:50]
It rises.
[01:06:51]
It rises up like--
[01:06:53]

[01:06:55]
Like a storm...
[01:06:56]

[01:06:57]
as if you were|the thunder god himself.
[01:06:59]
You were a gladiator?
[01:07:00]

[01:07:01]
Yes, I was.
[01:07:02]

[01:07:08]
You won your freedom?
[01:07:10]
A long time ago, the emperor...
[01:07:13]

[01:07:14]
presented me with a rudis.
[01:07:16]
It's just a wooden sword.
[01:07:19]

[01:07:21]
The symbol of your freedom.
[01:07:23]

[01:07:25]
He touched me on the shoulder,|and I was free.
[01:07:28]

[01:07:29]
You knew Marcus Aurelius?
[01:07:31]
I did not say I knew him. I said|he touched me on the shoulder once.
[01:07:35]

[01:07:36]
You asked me what I want.
[01:07:38]

[01:07:39]
I, too, want to stand|in front of the emperor...
[01:07:42]

[01:07:43]
as you did.
[01:07:45]
Then listen to me.
[01:07:47]
Learn from me.
[01:07:49]
I wasn't the best|because I killed quickly.
[01:07:53]
I was the best|because the crowd loved me.
[01:07:56]
Win the crowd...
[01:07:58]
and you'll win your freedom.
[01:08:00]

[01:08:04]
I will win the crowd.
[01:08:06]

[01:08:08]
I will give them something|they've never seen before.
[01:08:11]

[01:08:12]
So, Spaniard,|we shall go to Rome together...
[01:08:16]
and have bloody adventures...
[01:08:18]
and the great whore|will suckle us...
[01:08:20]
until we are fat and happy|and can suckle no more.
[01:08:22]
And then...
[01:08:23]

[01:08:25]
when enough men have died...
[01:08:26]

[01:08:28]
perhaps you will have your freedom.
[01:08:30]

[01:08:35]
Here. Use this.
[01:08:38]

[01:09:00]
It's somewhere out there--
[01:09:02]
my country...
[01:09:04]
my home.
[01:09:06]

[01:09:07]
My wife is preparing food.
[01:09:10]
My daughters carry water|from the river.
[01:09:13]
Will I ever see them again?
[01:09:15]

[01:09:16]
I think no.
[01:09:18]
Do you believe you'll see them again|when you die?
[01:09:20]
I think so.
[01:09:22]

[01:09:23]
But then...
[01:09:24]

[01:09:25]
I will die soon.
[01:09:26]

[01:09:27]
They will not die for many years.
[01:09:30]
I'll have to wait.
[01:09:32]
But you would wait?
[01:09:34]

[01:09:35]
Of course.
[01:09:36]

[01:09:38]
You see...
[01:09:39]

[01:09:40]
my wife...
[01:09:42]

[01:09:43]
and my son...
[01:09:45]
are already waiting for me.
[01:09:47]
You'll meet them again.
[01:09:50]
But not yet.
[01:09:52]

[01:09:55]
Not yet, unless--
[01:09:58]

[01:09:59]
Not yet.
[01:10:00]

[01:10:03]
Not yet.
[01:10:05]

[01:10:17]
There.|There it is.
[01:10:18]

[01:11:05]
Out.
[01:11:07]

[01:11:08]
Go! Go! Out!
[01:11:10]

[01:11:22]
Good to see you again,|old friend.
[01:11:24]

[01:11:29]
Bring me fortune.
[01:11:31]

[01:11:35]
Have you ever seen anything|like that before?
[01:11:38]

[01:11:39]
I didn't know men|could build such things.
[01:11:42]

[01:11:51]
Win the crowd.
[01:11:53]
Get inside! Move!
[01:11:55]
Inside!
[01:11:57]

[01:12:44]
He sleeps so well|because he's loved.
[01:12:46]

[01:12:49]
Come, brother. It's late.
[01:12:52]

[01:12:54]
I will make Rome|the wonder of the ages.
[01:12:57]

[01:13:00]
That is what Gracchus and his friends|don't understand.
[01:13:03]

[01:13:04]
All my desires|are splitting my head to pieces.
[01:13:07]

[01:13:15]
Drink this tonic.
[01:13:16]

[01:13:25]
I think the time is almost right.
[01:13:28]
I could announce|the dissolution of the senate...
[01:13:31]
at the celebration|to honor our father.
[01:13:32]

[01:13:33]
Do you think I should?
[01:13:34]

[01:13:36]
Are the people ready?
[01:13:37]

[01:13:39]
I think you need your rest now.
[01:13:41]

[01:13:47]
Will you stay with me?
[01:13:49]
Still afraid of the dark,|brother?
[01:13:51]

[01:13:58]
Still.
[01:13:59]

[01:14:01]
Always.
[01:14:02]

[01:14:04]
- Stay with me tonight.|- You know I won't.
[01:14:07]

[01:14:11]
Then kiss me.
[01:14:12]

[01:14:21]
Sleep, brother.
[01:14:22]

[01:14:40]
Come on!
[01:14:42]

[01:14:44]
Take me.
[01:14:45]

[01:14:50]
All right, that's enough.
[01:14:52]

[01:15:13]
The emperor wants battles, and I don't|want to sacrifice my best fighters.
[01:15:16]
The crowd wants battles,|so the emperor gives them battles.
[01:15:20]
- And you get the battle of Carthage.|- The massacre of Carthage.
[01:15:24]

[01:15:25]
Why don't you go down to the prison,|round up all the beggars and thieves?
[01:15:29]
We've done that.
[01:15:30]
If you want to give away the best|gladiators in the whole of the empire...
[01:15:33]

[01:15:34]
then I want double the rates.
[01:15:36]
You'll get your contract rates,|or you'll get your contract canceled.
[01:15:39]

[01:15:40]
You don't like it?
[01:15:41]
Then you can crawl back down|that shithole that you came from.
[01:15:44]

[01:15:48]
Cassius, please!|Cassius!
[01:15:50]

[01:16:18]
Gladiator, are you the one|they call the Spaniard?
[01:16:21]
Yes.
[01:16:22]

[01:16:23]
They said you were a giant.
[01:16:26]
They said you could crush|a man's skull with one hand.
[01:16:28]
A man's? No.
[01:16:30]

[01:16:31]
A boy's.
[01:16:33]

[01:16:35]
- They have good horses in Spain?|- Some of the best.
[01:16:38]

[01:16:39]
This is Argento...
[01:16:41]
and this is Scarto.
[01:16:43]
They were my horses.
[01:16:45]

[01:16:46]
They were taken from me.
[01:16:48]
I like you, Spaniard.|I shall cheer foryou.
[01:16:52]
- They let you watch the games?|- My uncle says it makes me strong.
[01:16:55]
- And what does your father say?|- My father is dead.
[01:16:59]

[01:17:00]
Master Lucius, it is time.
[01:17:02]

[01:17:03]
I have to go.
[01:17:05]
Your name is Lucius?
[01:17:06]

[01:17:08]
Lucius Verus, after my father.
[01:17:11]

[01:17:40]
Lower!
[01:17:42]

[01:17:47]
Claudius!
[01:17:49]
- Yes?|- More shields!
[01:17:50]

[01:18:10]
When the emperor enters...
[01:18:12]
raise your weapons, salute him...
[01:18:15]
and then speak together.
[01:18:17]

[01:18:18]
Face the emperor...
[01:18:19]
and don't turn your back on him.
[01:18:22]
Go, and die with honor.
[01:18:26]

[01:19:18]
Hail, mighty Caesar!
[01:19:20]
Caesar! Caesar!|Caesar! Caesar!
[01:19:24]

[01:19:30]
We who are about to die|salute you!
[01:19:32]

[01:19:35]
On this day...
[01:19:37]
we reach back|to hallowed antiquity...
[01:19:40]
to bring you a re-creation...
[01:19:42]
of the second fall|of mighty Carthage!
[01:19:46]

[01:19:49]
On the barren plain of Zama...
[01:19:54]
there stood the invincible armies...
[01:19:57]

[01:19:58]
of the barbarian Hannibal.
[01:20:00]

[01:20:01]
Ferocious mercenaries|and warriors...
[01:20:04]
from all brute nations...
[01:20:06]
bent on merciless...
[01:20:09]
destruction...
[01:20:11]
conquest.
[01:20:13]
Your emperor...
[01:20:15]
is pleased to give you...
[01:20:17]
the barbarian horde!
[01:20:20]

[01:20:28]
Anyone here been in the army?
[01:20:30]
Yes.|I served with you at Vindobona.
[01:20:33]

[01:20:34]
You can help me.
[01:20:36]

[01:20:37]
Whatever comes out of these gates...
[01:20:39]

[01:20:40]
we've got a better chance of survival|if we work together.
[01:20:43]

[01:20:44]
Do you understand?
[01:20:46]

[01:20:47]
If we stay together, we survive.
[01:20:50]
The emperor is pleased to bring you|the legionnaires...
[01:20:52]
of Scipio Africanus!
[01:20:55]

[01:21:07]
To the death!
[01:21:08]

[01:21:11]
Kill! Kill! Kill!
[01:21:13]

[01:21:18]
Stay close!
[01:21:19]

[01:21:25]
Come together!
[01:21:27]

[01:21:29]
Staggered columns!|Staggered columns!
[01:21:32]

[01:21:43]
- Soon all your men will be slain.|- You don't have a chance.
[01:21:46]

[01:21:58]
Lock your shields!|Stay as one!
[01:22:00]

[01:22:01]
Hold!
[01:22:03]

[01:22:05]
Hold!
[01:22:06]
As one!
[01:22:08]

[01:22:11]
Well done!
[01:22:12]

[01:22:23]
Hold!
[01:22:25]
Down low! Down low!
[01:22:26]

[01:22:32]
Yes!
[01:22:33]

[01:22:45]
Hagen!
[01:22:47]

[01:23:10]
This column to the chariot!|This column stay with me!
[01:23:13]

[01:23:17]
Quickly!
[01:23:18]
- Get out there!|- Hurry!
[01:23:21]

[01:24:01]
Maximus!
[01:24:02]

[01:24:13]
Single column!|Single column!
[01:24:15]

[01:24:59]
We win!
[01:25:01]

[01:25:06]
My history's a little hazy,|Cassius...
[01:25:09]
but shouldn't the barbarians|lose the battle of Carthage?
[01:25:12]
Yes, sire.
[01:25:14]

[01:25:15]
Forgive me, sire.
[01:25:16]
No, I rather enjoy surprises.
[01:25:20]
Who is he?
[01:25:21]
They call him the Spaniard, sire.
[01:25:25]

[01:25:27]
- I think I'll meet him.|- Yes, sire.
[01:25:29]

[01:25:32]
Hail to the barbarians!
[01:25:34]

[01:25:48]
Forward! Arms at ready!
[01:25:51]

[01:26:04]
Drop your weapons.
[01:26:05]

[01:26:10]
Gladiator,|the emperor has asked for you.
[01:26:13]
I am at the emperor's service.
[01:26:15]

[01:26:41]
Rise. Rise.
[01:26:43]

[01:26:52]
Your fame is well deserved,|Spaniard.
[01:26:54]
I don't think there's ever been|a gladiator to match you.
[01:26:57]
As for this young man, he insists you|are Hector reborn. Or was it Hercules?
[01:27:01]

[01:27:02]
Why doesn't the hero reveal himself|and tell us all your real name?
[01:27:06]

[01:27:08]
You do have a name?
[01:27:09]

[01:27:10]
My name is Gladiator.
[01:27:12]

[01:27:15]
How dare you show|your back to me?
[01:27:17]

[01:27:18]
Slave!
[01:27:19]

[01:27:20]
You will remove your helmet|and tell me your name.
[01:27:23]

[01:27:34]
My name is|Maximus Decimus Meridius...
[01:27:36]
commander of|the armies of the north...
[01:27:38]

[01:27:39]
general of the Felix Legions...
[01:27:41]
Loyal servant to the true emperor,|Marcus Aurelius...
[01:27:44]

[01:27:46]
father to a murdered son...
[01:27:48]
husband to a murdered wife...
[01:27:51]
and I will have my vengeance,|in this life or the next.
[01:27:54]

[01:28:02]
Arms!
[01:28:04]

[01:28:16]
Live! Live! Live! Live!
[01:28:19]

[01:29:03]
Guards, at rest!
[01:29:06]

[01:29:54]
Maximus! Maximus!|Maximus! Maximus!
[01:29:58]

[01:30:24]
Why is he still alive?
[01:30:26]

[01:30:27]
I don't know.
[01:30:29]
He shouldn't be alive.
[01:30:31]
It vexes me.
[01:30:33]

[01:30:34]
I'm terribly vexed.
[01:30:36]

[01:30:47]
I did what I had to do.
[01:30:49]
If Father had had his way,|the empire would have been torn apart.
[01:30:53]

[01:30:54]
You do see that?
[01:30:55]

[01:31:01]
What did you feel|when you saw him?
[01:31:04]

[01:31:06]
I felt nothing.
[01:31:08]

[01:31:10]
He wounded you deeply, didn't he?
[01:31:12]

[01:31:13]
No more than I wounded him.
[01:31:15]

[01:31:20]
They lied to me in Germania.
[01:31:22]

[01:31:23]
They told me he was dead.
[01:31:25]

[01:31:27]
If they lie to me,|they don't respect me.
[01:31:30]
If they don't respect me,|how can they ever love me?
[01:31:33]

[01:31:34]
Then you must|let the legions know...
[01:31:36]

[01:31:37]
their treachery...
[01:31:38]
will not go unpunished.
[01:31:40]
Poor sister.
[01:31:42]
I wouldn't want to be your enemy.
[01:31:45]

[01:31:46]
What will you do?
[01:31:47]

[01:32:00]
This way.
[01:32:01]

[01:32:35]
Rich matrons pay well to be pleasured|by the bravest champions.
[01:32:38]
I knew your brother|would send assassins.
[01:32:41]
I didn't realize|he would send his best.
[01:32:44]

[01:32:45]
Maximus, he doesn't know.
[01:32:47]

[01:32:48]
My family was burnt and crucified|while they were still alive.
[01:32:51]
- I knew nothing--|- Don't lie to me!
[01:32:54]

[01:33:00]
I wept for them.
[01:33:02]
As you wept for your father?|As you wept for your father?
[01:33:06]
I have been living in a prison offear|since that day.
[01:33:09]

[01:33:10]
To be unable to mourn your father|for fear of your brother.
[01:33:13]

[01:33:14]
To live in terror|every moment of every day...
[01:33:17]
because your son|is heir to the throne.
[01:33:20]

[01:33:22]
Oh, I have wept.
[01:33:23]

[01:33:24]
My son...
[01:33:26]
was innocent.
[01:33:27]

[01:33:28]
So is mine.
[01:33:30]

[01:33:31]
Must my son die, too,|before you'll trust me?
[01:33:34]

[01:33:36]
What does it matter|if I trust you or not?
[01:33:40]
The gods have spared you.|Don't you understand?
[01:33:43]
Today I saw a slave become more powerful|than the emperor of Rome.
[01:33:46]
The gods have spared me?
[01:33:48]
I am at their mercy,|with the power only to amuse the mob.
[01:33:51]
That is power.
[01:33:53]
The mob is Rome, and while Commodus|controls them, he controls everything.
[01:33:57]

[01:33:58]
Listen to me.
[01:34:00]
My brother has enemies,|most of all in the senate.
[01:34:03]
But while the people follow him...
[01:34:05]

[01:34:06]
no one would dare stand up to him|until you.
[01:34:09]
They oppose him,|yet they do nothing.
[01:34:12]
There are some politicians|who have dedicated their lives to Rome.
[01:34:15]
One man above all.
[01:34:18]
If I can arrange it,|will you meet him?
[01:34:21]
Do you not understand?
[01:34:23]

[01:34:24]
I may die in this cell tonight,|or in the arena tomorrow.
[01:34:26]
I am a slave!
[01:34:28]
What possible difference can I make?
[01:34:30]
This man wants what you want.
[01:34:33]
Then have him kill Commodus!
[01:34:36]

[01:34:37]
I knew a man once...
[01:34:40]
a noble man,|a man of principle...
[01:34:43]
who loved my father...
[01:34:46]
and my father loved him.
[01:34:49]

[01:34:50]
This man served Rome well.
[01:34:52]

[01:34:56]
That man is gone.
[01:34:58]

[01:34:59]
Your brother did his work well.
[01:35:00]
Let me help you.
[01:35:02]

[01:35:08]
Yes...
[01:35:10]
you can help me.
[01:35:12]

[01:35:14]
Forget you ever knew me...
[01:35:16]
and never come here again.
[01:35:18]

[01:35:21]
Guard!|The lady is finished with me.
[01:35:24]

[01:35:51]
Maximus.
[01:35:53]
You commanded legions?|You had many victories?
[01:35:56]

[01:35:58]
In Germania?
[01:35:59]

[01:36:01]
In many countries.
[01:36:04]
General!
[01:36:06]

[01:36:53]
You have a great name.
[01:36:55]

[01:36:56]
He must kill your name|before he kills you.
[01:36:59]

[01:37:07]
Yes, at the far end.
[01:37:09]
- Senator Gaius.|- Hello.
[01:37:11]
Senator Gracchus.
[01:37:13]

[01:37:15]
Don't often see you enjoying|the pleasures of the vulgar crowd.
[01:37:18]
I don't pretend to be|a man of the people, Senator...
[01:37:21]
but I do try to be|a man for the people.
[01:37:24]

[01:37:38]
Caesar! Caesar!|Caesar! Caesar!
[01:37:42]

[01:37:48]
People of Rome!
[01:37:50]

[01:37:52]
On the fourth day of Antioch...
[01:37:55]
we can celebrate|the 64th day of the games.
[01:37:59]

[01:38:00]
And in his majestic charity...
[01:38:05]
the emperor has deigned this day|to favor the people of Rome...
[01:38:09]
with an historical final match.
[01:38:13]
Returning to the Colosseum today,|after five years in retirement...
[01:38:18]

[01:38:19]
Caesar is pleased to bring you...
[01:38:22]

[01:38:23]
the only undefeated champion...
[01:38:26]
in Roman history...
[01:38:28]
the legendary Tigris...
[01:38:32]
of Gaul!
[01:38:33]

[01:38:54]
He knows too well|how to manipulate the mob.
[01:38:57]
Marcus Aurelius had a dream|that was Rome.
[01:39:00]
This is not it.|This is not it!
[01:39:02]
Marcus Aurelius is dead, Maximus.
[01:39:05]

[01:39:06]
We mortals|are but shadows and dust.
[01:39:08]

[01:39:09]
Shadows and dust, Maximus!
[01:39:11]
Representing the training lyceum|of Antonius Proximo...
[01:39:14]

[01:39:15]
Caesar is proud to give you...
[01:39:18]
Aelius Maximus!
[01:39:22]

[01:39:34]
They embrace him|like he's one of their own.
[01:39:37]
The mob is fickle, brother.|He'll be forgotten in a month.
[01:39:40]

[01:39:43]
No, much sooner than that.
[01:39:46]

[01:39:48]
It's been arranged.
[01:39:49]

[01:40:07]
We who are about to die|salute you.
[01:40:10]

[01:40:13]
We're with you, Maximus!
[01:40:16]

[01:41:25]
Pull! Pull! Pull!
[01:41:26]

[01:41:57]
Loose! Loose!
[01:41:59]

[01:42:26]
- Gut him!|- Kill! Kill!
[01:42:28]
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
[01:42:31]

[01:42:51]
Kill! Kill!
[01:42:53]

[01:43:30]
Maximus the Merciful!
[01:43:32]

[01:43:53]
Forward, guards!|On battery!
[01:43:56]

[01:44:25]
What am I going to do with you?
[01:44:28]
You simply won't...
[01:44:31]
die.
[01:44:32]

[01:44:36]
Are we so different, you and l?
[01:44:39]

[01:44:40]
You take life when you have to...
[01:44:42]
as I do.
[01:44:44]
I have only one more life to take.|Then it is done.
[01:44:48]
Then take it now.
[01:44:50]

[01:45:02]
They tell me your son...
[01:45:04]

[01:45:05]
squealed like a girl...
[01:45:07]
when they nailed him to the cross...
[01:45:10]

[01:45:11]
and your wife...
[01:45:12]

[01:45:13]
moaned like a whore...
[01:45:16]
when they ravaged her...
[01:45:18]
again and again...
[01:45:21]

[01:45:22]
and again.
[01:45:23]

[01:45:28]
The time for honoring yourself|will soon be at an end...
[01:45:32]

[01:45:36]
Highness.
[01:45:38]

[01:46:03]
General!
[01:46:05]

[01:46:06]
General!
[01:46:07]

[01:46:11]
- General!|- Cicero!
[01:46:14]

[01:46:21]
- Where are you camped?|- Ostia.
[01:46:23]

[01:46:29]
- We love you, Maximus!|- Praise the victor!
[01:46:32]
Tell the men their general lives.|Find me.
[01:46:35]
- Move along!|- Find me!
[01:46:36]

[01:47:01]
Can they hear you?
[01:47:03]

[01:47:07]
Who?
[01:47:08]
Your family, in the afterlife.
[01:47:10]

[01:47:12]
- Oh, yes.|- What do you say to them?
[01:47:15]

[01:47:18]
To my boy...
[01:47:19]

[01:47:21]
I tell him|I will see him again soon...
[01:47:24]
and to keep his heels down|when he is riding his horse.
[01:47:27]

[01:47:29]
To my wife...
[01:47:30]

[01:47:32]
that is not your business.
[01:47:35]

[01:47:42]
And now they love Maximus|for his mercy.
[01:47:44]

[01:47:46]
So I can't just kill him,|or it makes me even more unmerciful.
[01:47:49]

[01:47:51]
The whole thing|is like some great nightmare.
[01:47:56]
He is defying you.
[01:47:58]
His every victory|is an act of defiance.
[01:48:01]
The mob sees this,|and so do the senate.
[01:48:05]
Every day he lives,|they grow bolder.
[01:48:09]
- Kill him.|- No.
[01:48:12]

[01:48:13]
I will not make a martyr of him.
[01:48:15]

[01:48:21]
I have been told...
[01:48:23]
of a certain sea snake...
[01:48:25]
which has a very unusual method|of attracting its prey.
[01:48:29]
It will lie at the bottom of the ocean|as if wounded.
[01:48:34]
Then its enemies will approach...
[01:48:36]
and yet it will lie quite still.
[01:48:39]
Then its enemies|will take little bites of it...
[01:48:43]
and yet it remains still.
[01:48:47]

[01:48:49]
So...
[01:48:52]
we will lie still...
[01:48:54]
and let our enemies come to us|and nibble.
[01:48:58]
Have every senator followed.
[01:49:01]

[01:49:17]
Cicero, my old friend. I thought|perhaps I'd seen you for the last time.
[01:49:21]
- I thought you were dead.|- Close.
[01:49:23]

[01:49:24]
- How long have the men been in Ostia?|- All winter.
[01:49:27]
- And how do they look?|- Fat and bored.
[01:49:30]

[01:49:31]
- Who's in command?|- Some fool from Rome.
[01:49:34]

[01:49:35]
How soon could they be|ready to fight?
[01:49:37]
For you, tomorrow.
[01:49:39]

[01:49:40]
I need you to do something for me.
[01:49:43]

[01:49:47]
Come see. If you haven't been|in the arena, you can see the show here.
[01:49:51]
Giant Maximus is defeating|our emperor Commodus.
[01:49:55]
What are we to do?|He's defying everyone.
[01:49:59]

[01:50:00]
My goodness!
[01:50:01]

[01:50:04]
- He got him! He's defeated!|- Give way! Give way!
[01:50:06]

[01:50:12]
My lady?|I served your father at Vindobona.
[01:50:15]
- Back.|- My lady.
[01:50:17]
I served your father at Vindobona.
[01:50:19]
Back!
[01:50:20]
And I served General Maximus.|I serve him still.
[01:50:23]

[01:50:24]
Stop.
[01:50:25]

[01:50:26]
Stop.
[01:50:27]

[01:50:29]
Stand back.
[01:50:30]

[01:50:31]
The general sends word|he will meet your politician.
[01:50:34]

[01:50:36]
For your loyalty, soldier.
[01:50:37]

[01:50:38]
Thank you, my lady.
[01:50:39]

[01:50:49]
Leave us.
[01:50:50]

[01:50:55]
Senator Gracchus.
[01:50:57]

[01:51:10]
General.
[01:51:11]

[01:51:12]
I hope my coming here today|is evidence enough...
[01:51:15]
that you can trust me.
[01:51:18]

[01:51:22]
- The senate is with you?|- The senate?
[01:51:24]

[01:51:26]
Yes. I can speak for them.
[01:51:29]
You can buy my freedom|and smuggle me out of Rome?
[01:51:32]

[01:51:33]
To what end?
[01:51:36]
Get me outside the city walls.
[01:51:38]
Have fresh horses ready|to take me to Ostia.
[01:51:40]

[01:51:41]
My army is encamped there.
[01:51:43]
By nightfall of the second day,|I shall return at the head of 5,000 men.
[01:51:46]
But the legions all have|new commanders...
[01:51:48]
Loyal to Commodus.
[01:51:49]
Let my men see me alive and you|shall see where their loyalties lie.
[01:51:52]

[01:51:53]
This is madness.
[01:51:55]
No Roman army has entered the capital|in a hundred years.
[01:51:58]
I will not trade|one dictatorship for another!
[01:52:00]
The time for half measures|and talk is over, Senator.
[01:52:04]
And after your glorious coup,|what then?
[01:52:07]

[01:52:08]
You'll take your 5,000 warriors|and leave?
[01:52:11]
I will leave.
[01:52:14]
The soldiers will stay|for your protection...
[01:52:16]
under the command of the senate.
[01:52:17]
So...
[01:52:19]
once all of Rome is yours,|you'll just give it back to the people?
[01:52:23]

[01:52:24]
Tell me why.
[01:52:26]

[01:52:31]
Because that was the last wish|of a dying man.
[01:52:33]

[01:52:37]
I will kill Commodus.
[01:52:39]

[01:52:41]
The fate of Rome|I leave to you.
[01:52:44]

[01:52:45]
Marcus Aurelius trusted you.
[01:52:48]

[01:52:49]
His daughter trusts you.
[01:52:51]

[01:52:55]
I will trust you.
[01:52:57]
But we have little time.
[01:52:59]

[01:53:00]
Give me two days...
[01:53:02]
and I will buy your freedom.
[01:53:05]
And you--
[01:53:06]

[01:53:08]
you stay alive...
[01:53:10]
or I'll be dead.
[01:53:12]

[01:53:14]
Now we must go.
[01:53:16]

[01:53:20]
It won't work.
[01:53:22]

[01:53:23]
The emperor knows too much.
[01:53:26]
And as for me...
[01:53:28]

[01:53:29]
it's becoming dangerous.
[01:53:31]

[01:53:32]
You'll be paid on my return.
[01:53:34]

[01:53:36]
I give you my word.
[01:53:38]
Your word?|What if you don't return?
[01:53:41]

[01:53:42]
Do you remember what it was|to have trust, Proximo?
[01:53:45]
Trust?
[01:53:47]

[01:53:50]
Who am I to trust?
[01:53:52]

[01:53:53]
- I will kill Commodus.|- Why would I want that?
[01:53:56]

[01:53:57]
He makes me rich.
[01:53:58]

[01:54:01]
Oh, l--
[01:54:03]
I know that you are|a man of your word, General.
[01:54:06]

[01:54:07]
I know that|you would die for honor.
[01:54:10]

[01:54:11]
You would die for Rome.
[01:54:14]
You would die for|the memory of your ancestors.
[01:54:16]

[01:54:17]
But l, on the other hand--
[01:54:19]

[01:54:22]
I'm an entertainer.
[01:54:24]

[01:54:27]
Guard!
[01:54:28]

[01:54:33]
He killed the man|who set you free.
[01:54:35]

[01:54:44]
Praetorians, master.
[01:54:46]

[01:54:52]
Halt!
[01:54:53]

[01:55:03]
Where have you been?
[01:55:05]
I sent for you.
[01:55:07]

[01:55:08]
Please, brother.
[01:55:10]

[01:55:15]
What's troubling you?
[01:55:16]

[01:55:19]
Does Gracchus have a new lover?
[01:55:22]

[01:55:24]
I don't know.
[01:55:25]

[01:55:27]
I thought you'd seen him.
[01:55:29]

[01:55:30]
He infects everyone|like a putrid fever.
[01:55:33]

[01:55:34]
For the health of Rome,|the senate must be bled.
[01:55:36]

[01:55:37]
And he will bleed too.
[01:55:39]

[01:55:40]
Very soon.
[01:55:42]

[01:55:43]
But not tonight.
[01:55:45]

[01:55:59]
Do you remember|what our father said once?
[01:56:01]

[01:56:03]
"lt's a dream...
[01:56:05]

[01:56:06]
a frightful dream--
[01:56:09]

[01:56:11]
Life is."
[01:56:12]

[01:56:15]
Do you think that's true?
[01:56:17]
I don't know.
[01:56:19]

[01:56:22]
I think it is.
[01:56:24]

[01:56:26]
And I have only you|to share it with.
[01:56:29]

[01:57:05]
Open your mouth.
[01:57:07]

[01:57:42]
You know I love you.
[01:57:44]

[01:57:46]
And I love you.
[01:57:48]

[01:58:23]
Out. Get out!
[01:58:25]

[01:58:26]
Move!
[01:58:27]

[01:58:31]
Congratulations, General.
[01:58:33]
You've got very persuasive friends.
[01:58:36]

[01:58:42]
My brother's had Gracchus arrested.
[01:58:44]
We daren't wait any longer.|We must leave tonight.
[01:58:47]

[01:58:48]
Proximo will come at midnight|and take you to the gate.
[01:58:50]

[01:58:52]
Your servant, Cicero,|will be waiting there with horses.
[01:58:54]

[01:58:57]
You have done all this?
[01:58:59]
Yes.
[01:59:00]
You risk too much.
[01:59:02]

[01:59:03]
I have much to pay for.
[01:59:05]

[01:59:07]
You have nothing to pay for.
[01:59:09]
You love your son.|You're strong for him.
[01:59:12]

[01:59:15]
I am tired of being strong.
[01:59:18]

[01:59:20]
My brother hates all the world,|and you most of all.
[01:59:24]
- Because your father chose me.|- No.
[01:59:27]

[01:59:28]
Because my father loved you.
[01:59:31]

[01:59:34]
And because I loved you.
[01:59:37]

[01:59:39]
A long time ago.
[01:59:41]

[01:59:45]
Was I very different then?
[01:59:47]

[01:59:53]
You laughed more.
[01:59:55]

[01:59:59]
I have felt alone all my life...
[02:00:01]

[02:00:03]
except with you.
[02:00:04]

[02:00:07]
I must go.
[02:00:09]
Yes.
[02:00:11]

[02:00:37]
There. There.
[02:00:39]

[02:00:50]
And I got you.
[02:00:51]

[02:00:54]
Isn't it late|to be playing legionnaire?
[02:00:56]
I'm not a legionnaire.
[02:00:58]
- Not a legionnaire?|- I'm a gladiator.
[02:01:01]

[02:01:02]
A gladiator?
[02:01:04]
Gladiators only fight|in the games.
[02:01:07]
Wouldn't you rather be a great|Roman warrior like Julius Caesar?
[02:01:10]
I'm Maximus,|the savior of Rome!
[02:01:13]

[02:01:16]
The savior of Rome?
[02:01:17]

[02:01:25]
And who said that?
[02:01:27]

[02:01:35]
Where's Lucius?
[02:01:36]

[02:01:38]
He's with the emperor.
[02:01:39]

[02:01:43]
- She couldn't.|- Yes, she did.
[02:01:45]
She took it from a basket...
[02:01:47]

[02:01:48]
and pressed it to her breast,|right here above her heart.
[02:01:51]

[02:01:53]
It bit her in the breast?
[02:01:55]
Yes.
[02:01:57]
You see, Lucius,|sometimes royal ladies...
[02:02:00]

[02:02:01]
behave very strangely and do|very odd things in the name of love.
[02:02:05]
I think it's silly.
[02:02:07]
So do l.
[02:02:08]

[02:02:09]
So do l.
[02:02:11]
Sister, join us.
[02:02:13]
I've been reading to dear Lucius.
[02:02:16]
- I've been reading too.|- Yes.
[02:02:18]
He's a very clever little boy.|He'll make a grand emperor one day.
[02:02:22]

[02:02:23]
We've been reading about the great|Mark Antony and his adventures in Egypt.
[02:02:27]
And the queen killed herself|with a snake.
[02:02:29]
And just wait until you hear|what happened to our ancestors.
[02:02:32]

[02:02:33]
If you're very good, tomorrow night I'll|tell you the story of Emperor Claudius.
[02:02:37]

[02:02:39]
He was betrayed...
[02:02:41]
by those closest to him...
[02:02:43]

[02:02:45]
by his own blood.
[02:02:47]

[02:02:48]
They whispered in dark corners...
[02:02:50]

[02:02:51]
and went out late at night...
[02:02:52]
and conspired...
[02:02:55]
and conspired.
[02:02:56]

[02:02:59]
But the Emperor Claudius knew|that they were up to something.
[02:03:01]

[02:03:02]
He knew they were|busy little bees.
[02:03:05]

[02:03:07]
And one night he sat down|with one ofthem...
[02:03:10]
and he looked at her...
[02:03:13]
and he said...
[02:03:15]

[02:03:16]
"Tell me what you've been doing...
[02:03:19]
busy little bee...
[02:03:21]

[02:03:23]
or I shall strike down|those dearest to you.
[02:03:26]

[02:03:27]
You shall watch|as I bathe in their blood."
[02:03:30]

[02:03:33]
And the emperor was heartbroken.
[02:03:35]

[02:03:37]
The little bee|had wounded him more deeply...
[02:03:40]
than anyone else|could ever have done.
[02:03:43]

[02:03:44]
What do you think|happened then, Lucius?
[02:03:47]

[02:03:48]
I don't know, Uncle.
[02:03:50]

[02:03:56]
The little bee|told him everything.
[02:03:58]

[02:04:36]
Open, in the name of the emperor!
[02:04:39]
Proximo!
[02:04:41]

[02:04:42]
Open the gates,|in the name of the emperor!
[02:04:45]

[02:04:49]
Open the gates!
[02:04:50]

[02:04:56]
Open the gates, Proximo.
[02:04:58]
Do you want to die, old man?
[02:05:00]

[02:05:01]
Here.
[02:05:02]

[02:05:03]
Everything is prepared.
[02:05:05]
It seems|you have won your freedom.
[02:05:08]

[02:05:10]
Are you in danger|of becoming a good man?
[02:05:11]

[02:05:16]
- Juba.|- All enemies of the emperor die!
[02:05:20]

[02:05:21]
Open the gates!
[02:05:23]

[02:05:28]
Pull!
[02:05:30]

[02:05:32]
Move!|Form a column on the left!
[02:05:35]

[02:05:38]
I only need moments, so do not|be careless with your lives.
[02:05:40]

[02:05:41]
If you don't want any part of this,|go back to your cells.
[02:05:44]
We'll wait here for you, Maximus.
[02:05:46]
- Strength and honor.|- Go.
[02:05:48]

[02:05:50]
Strength and honor.
[02:05:51]

[02:05:54]
Aim. Arch your bows!
[02:05:57]

[02:07:01]
Shadows and dust.
[02:07:02]

[02:07:49]
I'm sorry.
[02:07:50]

[02:08:15]
It's done.
[02:08:17]

[02:08:24]
And what of my nephew?
[02:08:26]
And what of his mother?
[02:08:28]

[02:08:30]
Should they share|her lover's fate?
[02:08:33]

[02:08:34]
Or should I be merciful?
[02:08:36]

[02:08:39]
Commodus the Merciful.
[02:08:41]

[02:08:47]
Lucius will stay with me now.
[02:08:49]

[02:08:50]
And if his mother...
[02:08:52]

[02:08:53]
so much as looks at me...
[02:08:55]

[02:08:57]
in a manner that displeases me...
[02:08:59]

[02:09:01]
he will die.
[02:09:03]

[02:09:05]
If she decides...
[02:09:08]
to be noble...
[02:09:10]
and takes her own life...
[02:09:12]

[02:09:14]
he will die.
[02:09:16]

[02:09:19]
And as for you...
[02:09:20]

[02:09:23]
you will love me...
[02:09:25]

[02:09:26]
as I loved you.
[02:09:28]

[02:09:29]
You will provide me with an heir...
[02:09:31]
of pure blood...
[02:09:33]
so that Commodus and his progeny...
[02:09:36]
will rule for a thousand years.
[02:09:39]

[02:09:43]
Am I not merciful?
[02:09:45]

[02:10:05]
Am I not merciful?
[02:10:08]

[02:11:10]
They call for you.
[02:11:11]

[02:11:13]
The general...
[02:11:15]
who became a slave.
[02:11:17]

[02:11:18]
The slave|who became a gladiator.
[02:11:20]

[02:11:21]
The gladiator|who defied an emperor.
[02:11:24]

[02:11:26]
A striking story.
[02:11:27]

[02:11:29]
Now the people want to know|how the story ends.
[02:11:31]

[02:11:34]
Only a famous death will do.
[02:11:36]

[02:11:38]
And what could be more glorious...
[02:11:41]
than to challenge the emperor himself|in the great arena?
[02:11:44]

[02:11:46]
You would fight me?
[02:11:48]
Why not?
[02:11:49]

[02:11:50]
Do you think I'm afraid?
[02:11:52]

[02:11:53]
I think you have been afraid|all your life.
[02:11:56]
Unlike Maximus the lnvincible,|who knows no fear?
[02:12:00]

[02:12:05]
I knew a man who once said,|"Death smiles at us all.
[02:12:08]

[02:12:09]
All a man can do is smile back."
[02:12:13]

[02:12:14]
I wonder.
[02:12:15]
Did your friend smile|at his own death?
[02:12:19]
You must know.
[02:12:20]

[02:12:23]
He was your father.
[02:12:24]

[02:12:28]
You loved my father, I know...
[02:12:30]

[02:12:32]
but so did l.
[02:12:34]

[02:12:35]
That makes us brothers,|doesn't it?
[02:12:37]

[02:12:40]
Smile for me now, brother.
[02:12:42]

[02:12:47]
Strap on his armor.|Conceal the wound.
[02:12:50]

[02:13:42]
Ring formation!
[02:13:45]

[02:15:32]
Quintus, sword.
[02:15:34]
Give me your sword.
[02:15:37]

[02:15:39]
Sword! Give me a sword!
[02:15:41]

[02:15:42]
Sheathe your swords.
[02:15:44]

[02:18:07]
Free my men.
[02:18:08]

[02:18:10]
Senator Gracchus|is to be reinstated.
[02:18:12]

[02:18:13]
There was a dream|that was Rome.
[02:18:15]

[02:18:16]
It shall be realized.
[02:18:19]
These are the wishes|of Marcus Aurelius.
[02:18:21]

[02:18:22]
Free the prisoners. Go!
[02:18:24]

[02:18:51]
Lucius is safe.
[02:18:52]

[02:19:08]
Go to them.
[02:19:10]

[02:19:57]
You're home.
[02:19:58]

[02:20:23]
Is Rome worth|one good man's life?
[02:20:26]

[02:20:30]
We believed it once.
[02:20:32]

[02:20:35]
Make us believe it again.
[02:20:36]

[02:20:40]
He was a soldier of Rome.
[02:20:42]

[02:20:46]
Honor him.
[02:20:48]
Who will help me carry him?
[02:20:50]

[02:21:33]
Now we are free.
[02:21:34]

[02:21:40]
I will see you again.
[02:21:42]

[02:21:45]
But not yet.
[02:21:47]
Not yet.
