00:13:15 If he weren't really dying,
00:13:20 Maybe he just
00:13:22 And the senators?
00:13:25 Peace, Commodus.
00:13:27 After two weeks on the road, your
00:13:37 He's made
00:13:39 He's going to announce it.
00:13:44 He will name me.

00:14:25 The wounded are

00:14:29 My lord.
00:14:34 Kiss?
00:15:11 You have proved
00:15:13 yet again, Maximus.

00:15:20 There's no one
00:15:23 Ah. There is always
00:15:26 How can I reward
00:15:34 Let me go home.
00:15:37 Ah. Home.
00:15:46 Whoa! Whoa!
00:15:57 They honor you, Caesar.
00:16:00 It's for you, Maximus.
00:16:25 Have I missed it?
00:16:28 You have
00:16:31 Father, congratulations.
00:16:33 I shall sacrifice a hundred bulls
00:16:36 Save the bulls.
00:16:38 Honor Maximus.
00:16:41 - General.
00:16:44 Rome salutes you,
00:16:48 It has been too long,
00:16:50 - Highness.
00:16:53 Take my arm.
00:16:56 I think it is time
00:17:14 So much for
00:17:38 Magnificent battle.
00:18:03 - General.
00:18:05 -Still alive.
00:18:09 - The gods must love you.
00:18:11 Back to barracks, General?
00:18:14 Home. My wife,
00:18:17 Maximus the farmer.
00:18:21 You know, dirt cleans off a lot
00:18:25 - Here he is.
00:18:27 Senator Gaius,
00:18:29 Beware of Gaius. He'll pour a honeyed
00:18:33 and you'll wake up one day,
00:18:36 Well, why not?
00:18:39 Yes, and in a republic
00:18:42 But Senator Gaius isn't
00:18:44 Where do you stand, General?
00:18:47 The soldier has the advantage
00:18:52 Well, with an army behind you,
00:18:56 I warned you.
00:19:08 Maximus.
00:19:11 I'm going to need
00:19:16 How may I be of service,
00:19:19 You're a man who knows
00:19:22 You give your orders, the orders
00:19:25 But these senators scheme
00:19:30 Maximus, we must save Rome
00:19:34 Can I count on you...
00:19:43 Highness, when your father releases me,
00:19:46 Home?
00:19:51 Don't get too comfortable.
00:19:56 Lucilla's here.
00:20:00 She's not forgotten you.
00:20:03 And now you're
00:20:17 If only you
00:20:21 What a caesar
00:20:25 Father.
00:20:32 You would have
00:20:34 I wonder,
00:20:37 I would have been
00:20:40 Oh.
00:20:43 How was your journey?
00:20:45 Long. Uncomfortable.
00:20:49 I need your help.
00:20:52 Of course.
00:20:54 He loves you.
00:20:57 And...
00:21:00 he will need you now
00:21:08 Enough of politics.
00:21:10 Let us pretend that you
00:21:15 and I am a good father.
00:21:22 This is a pleasant fiction,
00:21:38 Good morning.
00:21:52 I need three more horses.
00:22:05 Two! Three!
00:22:07 Four!
00:22:09 One! Two!
00:22:27 You sent for me, Caesar?
00:22:33 Caesar?
00:22:35 Tell me again, Maximus.
00:22:38 Why are we here?
00:22:41 For the glory
00:22:44 Ah, yes.
00:22:47 Ah, yes, I remember.
00:22:52 Do you see that map,
00:22:55 That is the world
00:22:59 For25years...
00:23:01 I have conquered, spilt blood,
00:23:06 Since I became caesar,
00:23:10 Four years of peace in 20.
00:23:12 And for what?
00:23:22 I brought the sword.
00:23:25 Caesar, your life-
00:23:28 Please.
00:23:31 Come. Please.
00:23:34 Come sit.
00:23:36 Let us talk together now-
00:23:40 very simply-as men.
00:23:44 Maximus... talk.
00:23:51 Five thousand of my men
00:23:54 Three thousand of them
00:23:56 Two thousand will never
00:23:59 I will not believe that they
00:24:01 And what would you
00:24:03 They fought for you...
00:24:06 And what is Rome,
00:24:10 I've seen much of
00:24:13 It is brutal and cruel and dark.
00:24:17 Yet you have
00:24:19 You have not seen
00:24:22 I am dying, Maximus.
00:24:25 When a man sees his end,
00:24:27 he wants to know there was
00:24:30 How will the world speak my name
00:24:34 Will I be known
00:24:36 The warrior?
00:24:41 Or will I be the emperor who
00:24:47 There was once a dream
00:24:49 You could only
00:24:52 Anything more than a whisper
00:24:55 It was so fragile.
00:24:57 And I fear that it will not
00:25:03 Maximus,
00:25:05 Let us whisper now,
00:25:08 together, you and l.
00:25:10 You have a son.
00:25:13 Tell me about your home.
00:25:22 My house is in the hills above Tiujillo.
00:25:28 Pinkstones
00:25:31 A kitchen garden that
00:25:35 jasmine in the evening.
00:25:39 Through the gate
00:25:42 Figs, apples, pears.
00:25:45 The soil, Marcus-
00:25:47 - Black like my wife's hair.
00:25:50 Grapes on the south slopes,
00:25:52 Wild ponies play near my house.
00:25:55 - He wants to be one of them.
00:25:58 Two years, 264 days,
00:26:03 I envy you, Maximus.
00:26:05 It's a good home.
00:26:11 There is one more duty...
00:26:15 that I ask of you
00:26:20 What would you
00:26:22 I want you to become
00:26:27 I will empower you
00:26:30 To give power back
00:26:34 and end the corruption
00:26:43 Will you accept this great honor
00:26:49 With all my heart, no.
00:26:53 Maximus,
00:26:55 that is why
00:26:58 But surely a prefect,
00:27:00 somebody who knows the city,
00:27:03 But you have not been
00:27:11 - And Commodus?
00:27:15 You have known that
00:27:18 Commodus cannot rule.
00:27:20 He must not rule.
00:27:24 You are the son
00:27:30 Commodus will accept
00:27:35 He knows that you command
00:27:43 I- I need
00:27:46 Yes.
00:27:48 By sunset,
00:27:52 Now embrace me as my son.
00:27:58 And bring an old man
00:28:17 - My father favors you now.
00:28:19 It was not always so.
00:28:21 Many things change.
00:28:24 Many things.
00:28:29 Maximus, stop.
00:28:35 Let me see your face.
00:28:38 Hmm. You seem upset.
00:28:41 I lost many men.
00:28:43 What did my father
00:28:46 To wish me well
00:28:49 You're lying.
00:28:51 I could always tell when you were lying
00:28:55 - I never acquired your comfort with it.
00:28:58 But then you never had to.
00:29:00 Life is more simple
00:29:05 Or do you
00:29:08 I think you have
00:29:17 Maximus, stop.
00:29:20 Is it really so terrible
00:29:23 No. I'm tired
00:29:27 It hurts you to see
00:29:33 Commodus expects that my father will
00:29:38 Will you serve my brother
00:29:44 I will always serve Rome.
00:29:48 Do you know,
00:29:50 I still remember you
00:29:53 Oh, yes. I pray.
00:30:01 I was sad to hear
00:30:06 - Thank you.
00:30:10 Yes. Lucius.
00:30:14 He'll be nearly
00:30:16 My son is also
00:30:21 I thank you
00:30:31 Ancestors, I ask for your guidance.
00:30:35 Blessed mother, come tome
00:30:40 Blessed father, watch over
00:30:46 Whisper to them I live
00:30:49 Ancestors, I honor you...
00:30:53 and will try to live with
00:31:18 Cicero.
00:31:24 Sir.
00:31:30 You don't find it hard
00:31:36 Sometimes I do
00:31:39 The rest of the time
00:31:45 We may not be able
00:32:17 Are you ready to do
00:32:23 Yes, Father.
00:32:26 You will not be emperor.
00:32:30 Which wiser,
00:32:33 My powers
00:32:37 to hold
00:32:39 until the Senate
00:32:44 Rome is to be
00:32:50 - Maximus.
00:32:58 My decision
00:33:04 You wrote to me once,
00:33:08 Listing the four chief virtues.
00:33:12 Wisdom, justice,
00:33:15 fortitude and temperance.
00:33:21 As I read the list,
00:33:25 But I have other virtues, Father.
00:33:29 Ambition.
00:33:32 That can be a virtue
00:33:36 Resourcefulness.
00:33:39 Perhaps not on
00:33:43 there are many forms of courage.
00:33:46 Devotion-
00:33:49 and to you.
00:33:53 But none of my virtues
00:33:58 Even then it was as if
00:34:01 Oh, Commodus.
00:34:04 You go too far.
00:34:07 I search the faces
00:34:10 for ways to please you,
00:34:15 One kind word,
00:34:17 one full hug...
00:34:20 where you pressed me
00:34:25 would have been like the sun
00:34:31 - What is it in me you hate so much?
00:34:36 All I've ever wanted...
00:34:38 was to live up to you,
00:34:44 Father.
00:34:46 Commodus.
00:34:51 Your faults as a son...
00:34:54 is my failure as a father.
00:35:08 Come.
00:35:13 Father.
00:35:30 I would butcher
00:35:33 if you would
00:36:13 Maximus, the Emperor needs you.
00:36:22 Lament with me, brother.
00:36:53 How did he die?
00:36:56 The surgeons say there was no pain.
00:36:59 His breath gave out
00:37:10 Father.
00:37:15 Your emperor asks
00:37:19 Take my hand.
00:37:23 I only offer it once.
00:37:39 Quintus.
00:38:31 Hail, Caesar.
00:38:33 I must go to the senators.
00:38:36 - Wake Gaius and Falco.
00:38:39 - Sword.
00:38:42 Maximus, please be careful.
00:38:46 Prudent?
00:38:49 The Emperor died of natural causes.
00:38:53 - Why are you armed, Quintus?
00:38:59 Please don't fight,
00:39:02 I'm sorry. Caesar has spoken.
00:39:06 Ride until dawn...
00:39:10 Quintus, look at me.
00:39:13 Promise me that you will
00:39:17 Your family will meet you
00:39:20 - No!
00:39:45 Kneel.
00:39:50 Blessed Father,
00:39:53 - Whisper to them that I live
00:39:57 At least give me
00:40:00 A soldier's death.
00:40:23 The frost, sometimes it makes
00:40:47 Praetorian!
00:40:50 Hyah! Hyah!
00:42:08 Remember the last time you were home?
00:42:11 Two years, 264 days, and this morning.
00:42:15 Blessed Father, watch over my
00:42:20 Whisper to them I live only
00:42:23 For all else is dust and air,
00:42:28 For all else is dust and air.
00:43:08 - Mama, isoldati!
00:43:30 - Papa! Papa!
00:43:37 Hyah! Hyah!
00:46:17 - Don't die.
00:46:24 - You'll meet them again.
00:46:27 - Not yet.
00:46:38 No! They will clean it.
00:47:16 Don't die.
00:47:18 They'll feed you
00:47:21 They are worth more
00:47:33 Better now?
00:47:35 Clean. You see?
00:48:08 Proximo!
00:48:10 My old friend.
00:48:13 Every day is a great day
00:48:16 Today...
00:48:23 Those giraffes
00:48:25 they won't mate.
00:48:27 They just walk around
00:48:32 You sold me...
00:48:36 - I want my money back.
00:48:42 - I do special price for you.
00:48:47 Have you seen my new stock?
00:49:04 Do any of them fight?
00:49:07 Some are good for fighting,
00:49:10 You need both, I think.
00:49:12 Get up!
00:49:21 - What's your trade?
00:49:25 Oh, no. I bought him
00:49:29 Sit down!
00:49:35 Mark of the legion.
00:49:38 - Deserter.
00:49:41 - He's a Spaniard.
00:49:43 - for 1 ,000.
00:49:45 The Numidian alone
00:49:47 These slaves
00:49:50 It all adds to the flavor.
00:49:52 Wait! Can negotiate.
00:49:56 I'll give you 2,000...
00:50:01 That's 5,000
00:50:20 Come on! How long does it take
00:50:23 I am Proximo!
00:50:26 I shall be closer to you
00:50:29 which will be last of your miserable
00:50:33 - that brought you screaming
00:50:36 I did not pay good money
00:50:40 - I paid it so that I could
00:50:45 And as your mother
00:50:49 so I shall be there
00:50:52 - And when you die, and die you shall,
00:50:57 your transition shall be
00:51:05 Gladiators, I salute you.
00:51:13 -Red!
00:51:16 - Yellow!
00:51:20 Yellow.
00:51:31 Hyah!
00:51:32 Good.
00:51:35 - Red.
00:51:41 Spaniard!
00:52:08 - Uhh.
00:52:16 That's enough
00:52:19 His time will come.
00:52:22 Next!
00:52:38 Spaniard, why don't you fight?
00:52:42 We all have to fight.
00:52:58 Is that the sign
00:53:05 Will that not anger them?
00:53:29 The gods favor you.
00:53:31 Red is the gods' color.
00:53:34 You will need
00:53:54 Some of you are thinking
00:53:58 Some that you can't fight.
00:54:02 They all say that,
00:54:08 - Listen.
00:54:11 Kill. Kill. Kill.
00:54:19 Thrust this
00:54:21 and then they will applaud
00:54:24 You-
00:54:28 You may begin
00:54:30 for that.
00:54:36 Ultimately,
00:54:42 Sadly, we cannot
00:54:46 we can decide how
00:54:50 in order that
00:54:54 as men.
00:55:00 On the left,
00:55:03 On the right,
00:55:06 -Kill. Kill-
00:55:09 Pair them up-
00:55:16 Next!
00:55:21 Next!
00:57:17 - Hyah! Hyah!
00:59:06 - Go away!
00:59:39 He enters Rome
00:59:42 But what
00:59:44 Give him time, Gracchus.
00:59:47 I think he could do very well.
00:59:49 For Rome or for you?
00:59:57 Go to your mother, Lucius.
01:00:07 - Lucius!
01:00:11 - Hail, Caesar.
01:00:18 Rome greets
01:00:21 Your loyal subjects
01:00:25 Thank you, Falco.
01:00:28 - I trust they weren't too expensive.
01:00:32 - Gracchus.
01:00:36 There are many matters
01:00:42 - To order! To order!
01:00:45 For your guidance, Caesar, the Senate
01:00:50 to begin addressing
01:00:53 Beginning with basic sanitation
01:00:57 to combat the plague which is already
01:01:01 - So, if Caesar-
01:01:05 Don't you see, Gracchus?
01:01:08 That's the very problem,
01:01:11 My father spent
01:01:15 of books and learning
01:01:19 He spent his twilight hours
01:01:24 And all the while,
01:01:28 But the Senate
01:01:30 Chosen from among the people...
01:01:34 I doubt that many of the people
01:01:39 Or have such splendid mistresses, Gaius.
01:01:44 Then, perhaps Caesar will
01:01:48 out of his own
01:01:54 - I call it love.
01:01:56 - I am their father.
01:02:00 And I shall hold them to my bosom
01:02:02 Have you ever embraced someone
01:02:12 No, but if you interrupt me again,
01:02:17 Senator, my brother
01:02:20 Leave your list with me.
01:02:23 Caesar shall do
01:02:26 My lady, as always,
01:02:38 Who are they
01:02:40 Commodus, the Senate has its uses.
01:02:43 What uses?
01:02:47 It should be just...
01:02:50 - and Rome.
01:02:53 There's always
01:02:55 Rome has changed.
01:03:00 -to rule an empire.
01:03:03 Illusions.
01:03:05 Traditions.
01:03:08 My father's war
01:03:11 He said it himself,
01:03:14 - But the people loved him.
01:03:17 Why? They didn't see the battles.
01:03:22 - What do they care about Germania?
01:03:26 The greatness of Rome.
01:03:30 Well, what is that?
01:03:35 It's an idea-
01:03:42 - Greatness is a vision.
01:03:47 Do you not see, Lucilla?
01:03:51 I will give the people a vision of Rome,
01:03:56 And they'll soon forget the tedious
01:04:12 I will give the people
01:05:05 Vino, vino, vino!
01:05:11 Vino, vino, vino! Red and white wine
01:05:17 Games.
01:05:21 1 50 days of games.
01:05:24 - He's cleverer than I thought.
01:05:27 The whole of Rome would
01:05:30 if they weren't so afraid
01:05:33 Fear and wonder-
01:05:36 You really think the people
01:05:39 I think he knows what Rome is.
01:05:44 Conjure magic for them,
01:05:47 Take away their freedom
01:05:51 The beating heart
01:05:54 is not the marble
01:05:56 It's the sand
01:06:00 He'll bring them death,
01:06:03 and they will
01:06:10 Spaniard! Spaniard!
01:06:27 Spaniard.
01:06:30 - Spain.
01:06:32 - Spaniard.
01:06:37 Guard!
01:07:42 - Are you not entertained?
01:07:45 Are you not entertained?
01:07:50 Is this not why you are here?
01:07:57 Spaniard! Spaniard!
01:08:01 Spaniard! Spaniard! Spaniard! Spaniard!
01:08:08 Spaniard! Spaniard! Spaniard!
01:08:10 Spaniard! Spaniard!
01:08:16 What do you want?
01:08:19 Huh?
01:08:21 Girl?
01:08:23 Boy?
01:08:25 - You sent for me?
01:08:29 You're good, Spaniard,
01:08:32 - You could be magnificent.
01:08:36 That is enough.
01:08:38 That's enough for the provinces,
01:08:43 - The young emperor...
01:08:46 has arranged
01:08:49 to commemorate his father,
01:08:53 I find that amusing...
01:08:55 since it was Marcus Aurelius-
01:08:57 the wise, the all-knowing
01:09:00 - that closed us down.
01:09:05 So, finally, after five years
01:09:09 in flea-infested
01:09:12 we're finally going back
01:09:15 the Colosseum.
01:09:17 Oh, you should see
01:09:23 Fifty-thousand Romans...
01:09:26 watching...
01:09:30 willing you to make
01:09:35 The silence before you strike...
01:09:38 and the noise afterwards,
01:09:40 it rises-
01:09:43 Like th-
01:09:47 as if you were
01:09:49 - You were a gladiator?
01:09:59 You won your freedom?
01:10:01 A long time ago,
01:10:05 presented me
01:10:08 It's just a wooden sword.
01:10:12 The symbol of your freedom.
01:10:16 - He touched me on the shoulder,
01:10:21 - You knew Marcus Aurelius?
01:10:25 I said he touched me
01:10:28 You asked me what I want.
01:10:32 I, too, want to stand
01:10:36 as you did.
01:10:38 Then, listen to me.
01:10:42 I wasn't the best
01:10:46 I was the best
01:10:49 Win the crowd,
01:10:57 I will win the crowd.
01:11:01 - I will give them something
01:11:06 So, Spaniard,
01:11:10 and have bloody adventures!
01:11:12 And the great whore
01:11:14 fat and happy and
01:11:16 And then,
01:11:19 when enough men have died,
01:11:23 perhaps you will
01:11:30 Here. Use this.
01:11:55 It's somewhere out there-
01:11:57 my country, my home.
01:12:02 My wife is preparing food.
01:12:06 My daughters carry
01:12:09 Will I ever
01:12:12 I think no.
01:12:14 Do you believe you'll see
01:12:17 I think so.
01:12:20 But then, I will die soon.
01:12:24 They will not die
01:12:28 - I'll have to wait.
01:12:32 Of course.
01:12:36 You see,
01:12:38 my wife...
01:12:43 are already
01:12:45 You'll meet them again.
01:12:47 But not yet.
01:12:54 Not yet. Unless-
01:12:57 Not yet.
01:13:02 Not yet.
01:14:07 Out!
01:14:09 Go, go. Out!
01:14:24 Good to see you again,
01:14:31 Bring me fortune.
01:14:38 Have you ever seen
01:14:41 - I didn't know men
01:14:54 Win the crowd.
01:14:56 Get Inside! Move. Inside.
01:15:49 He sleeps so well
01:15:55 Come, brother.
01:16:01 I will make Rome
01:16:06 That is what Gracchus
01:16:09 All my desires are splitting
01:16:20 Commodus,
01:16:32 I think the time
01:16:36 I could announce
01:16:38 at the celebration
01:16:40 You think I should?
01:16:43 Are the people ready?
01:16:47 I think you need
01:16:55 - Will you stay with me?
01:17:07 Still. Always.
01:17:13 - Stay with me tonight?
01:17:19 Then, kiss me.
01:17:30 Sleep, brother.
01:17:51 Come on now.
01:17:58 I want you. I want you.
01:18:01 All right, Let him pass!
01:18:19 -Sixty!
01:18:22 -500!
01:18:25 The emperor wants battles, and I don't
01:18:29 The crowd wants battles,
01:18:32 And you get
01:18:34 The massacre of Carthage.
01:18:38 Oh, why don't you go down
01:18:41 We've done that.
01:18:43 If you want to give away
01:18:46 I want double the rates.
01:18:49 You'll get your contract rates,
01:18:52 You don't like it?
01:18:54 Then you can crawl back down
01:19:00 -Cassius, please! Please, Cassius!
01:19:33 Gladiator, are you the one
01:19:36 - Yes.
01:19:40 They said you could
01:19:43 A man's? No.
01:19:47 A boy's.
01:19:51 - They have good horses in Spain?
01:19:54 This is Argento,
01:19:59 They were my horses.
01:20:02 - They were taken from me.
01:20:07 - I shall cheer for you.
01:20:09 - My uncle says it makes me strong.
01:20:13 My father's dead.
01:20:17 Master Lucius, it is time.
01:20:20 - I have to go.
01:20:26 Lucius Verus,
01:20:58 Lower!
01:21:05 -Claudius! More shields!
01:21:29 When the emperor enters,
01:21:32 raise your weapons,
01:21:38 Face the emperor and don't
01:21:42 Go, and die with honor!
01:22:40 Hail, mighty Caesar!
01:22:43 Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!
01:22:47 Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!
01:22:53 And we who are about to die, salute you!
01:22:57 On this day,
01:23:00 we reach back
01:23:04 to bring you a recreation
01:23:07 of mighty Carthage!
01:23:13 On the barren
01:23:18 there stood
01:23:22 of the barbarian, Hannibal.
01:23:25 Ferocious mercenaries and warriors...
01:23:28 from all brute nations...
01:23:31 bent on merciless...
01:23:34 destruction, conquest.
01:23:38 Your emperor
01:23:42 the barbarian horde!
01:23:54 - Anyone here been in the army?
01:23:57 I served
01:23:59 You can help me.
01:24:02 Whatever comes
01:24:06 we've got a better chance
01:24:10 Do you understand?
01:24:13 If we stay together,
01:24:16 I'm pleased to bring you
01:24:19 of Scipio Africanus!
01:24:34 To the death!
01:24:39 - Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

01:24:53 Come together!
01:24:55 - Staggered columns!

01:27:48 Single column!
01:27:51 Single column! Single column!
01:28:36 - We win!
01:28:43 My history's
01:28:46 But shouldn't the barbarians
01:28:49 Uh, yes, sire.
01:28:52 Um, forgive me, sire.
01:28:54 No, I rather
01:28:58 - Who is he?
01:29:05 - I think I'll meet him.
01:29:09 Hail to the barbarians!
01:29:27 Forward! Arms at ready!
01:29:44 Drop your weapons!
01:29:48 Gladiator, the emperor
01:29:53 I'm at the emperor's service.
01:30:22 Rise. Rise.
01:30:34 Your fame is well deserved,
01:30:36 I don't think there's ever
01:30:39 As for this young man,
01:30:42 Or was it Hercules?
01:30:44 Why doesn't the hero reveal himself
01:30:50 - You do have a name?
01:30:58 - How dare you show your back to me?
01:31:01 Slave!
01:31:03 You will remove your helmet
01:31:17 My name is
01:31:20 commander of the armies
01:31:22 general of the Felix Legions,
01:31:25 Loyal servant to the true emperor,
01:31:30 father to a murdered son,
01:31:32 husband to a murdered wife...
01:31:35 and I will have my vengeance...
01:31:45 Arms!
01:32:00 Live! Live! Live!
01:32:04 Live! Live! Live!
01:32:12 Live! Live! Live!
01:32:15 Live! Live!
01:32:51 Guards, at rest!
01:33:44 Maximus! Maximus!
01:33:48 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:33:52 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:34:15 Why is he still alive?
01:34:18 I don't know.
01:34:20 He shouldn't be alive.
01:34:23 It vexes me.
01:34:26 I'm terribly vexed.
01:34:39 I did what I had to do.
01:34:41 If Father had had his way,
01:34:46 You do see that?
01:34:48 Yes.
01:34:54 What did you feel...
01:34:59 I felt nothing.
01:35:02 He wounded you deeply,
01:35:06 No more than
01:35:13 They lied to me in Germania.
01:35:17 They told me he was dead.
01:35:21 If they lie to me,
01:35:24 If they don't respect me,
01:35:28 Then you must
01:35:31 their treachery
01:35:35 Poor sister, I wouldn't
01:35:40 What will you do?
01:35:54 This way!
01:36:30 Rich matrons pay well to be pleasured
01:36:33 I knew your brother
01:36:37 I didn't realize
01:36:41 Maximus,
01:36:44 My family was burned and crucified
01:36:47 - I knew nothing-
01:36:56 - I wept for them.
01:37:00 As you wept for
01:37:02 I have been living in
01:37:06 To be unable to mourn your father
01:37:11 To live in terror
01:37:14 because your son
01:37:18 Oh, I have wept.
01:37:21 My son was innocent.
01:37:25 So is mine.
01:37:29 Must my son die, too,
01:37:34 What does it matter
01:37:38 The gods have spared you.
01:37:41 Today I saw a slave become
01:37:44 The gods
01:37:46 I am at their mercy,
01:37:50 That is power.
01:37:53 And while Commodus controls them,
01:37:57 Listen to me.
01:37:59 My brother has enemies,
01:38:02 But while
01:38:05 no one would dare
01:38:08 They oppose him,
01:38:11 There are some politicians
01:38:15 One man above all.
01:38:18 If I can arrange it,
01:38:21 Do you not understand?
01:38:23 I may die in this cell tonight,
01:38:28 What possible
01:38:30 This man wants
01:38:33 Then have him
01:38:38 I knew a man once,
01:38:40 a noble man,
01:38:44 who loved
01:38:47 And my father
01:38:51 This man
01:38:57 That man is gone.
01:38:59 Your brother
01:39:02 Let me help you.
01:39:10 Yes, you can help me.
01:39:16 Forget you ever knew me...
01:39:18 and never
01:39:24 Guard! The lady has finished with me.
01:39:55 Maximus?
01:39:57 You commanded legions?
01:40:00 - Yes.
01:40:05 In many countries.
01:40:09 General.
01:40:59 You have a great name.
01:41:01 He must kill your name
01:41:14 Yes, at the far end.
01:41:16 - Senator Gaius.
01:41:18 Senator Gracchus.
01:41:22 Don't often see you enjoying
01:41:25 I don't pretend to be a man
01:41:28 But I do try to be a man
01:41:45 Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!
01:41:49 Caesar! Caesar!
01:41:51 Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!
01:41:57 People of Rome!
01:42:01 On the fourth day
01:42:04 we can celebrate
01:42:09 And, in his

01:42:19 with an historical
01:42:23 Returning to the Colosseum today...
01:42:25 after five years
01:42:30 is pleased to bring you
01:42:34 undefeated champion...
01:42:36 - Yah! Yah!
01:42:39 the legendary Tigris of Gaul!
01:42:59 Whoa! Whoa!
01:43:05 He knows too well
01:43:09 Marcus Aurelius had a dream
01:43:11 This is not it!
01:43:14 Marcus Aurelius is dead,
01:43:17 We mortals are but
01:43:20 - Shadows and dust, Maximus!
01:43:23 Representing the training
01:43:27 Caesar is proud
01:43:31 Aelius Maximus!
01:43:40 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:43:45 Maximus! Maximus!
01:43:47 They embrace him like
01:43:50 The mob is fickle, brother.
01:43:54 Maximus! Maximus!
01:43:56 No, much sooner
01:44:01 It's been arranged.
01:44:10 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:44:22 We who are about to die salute you.
01:44:28 We're with you, Maximus!
01:45:12 Come on, finish it!
01:45:40 - No!
01:45:57 - Aah!
01:46:05 Yeah!
01:46:16 Loose! Loose!
01:46:33 Aah!
01:46:39 Aah!

01:48:26 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:48:29 Maximus!
01:48:50 What am I going
01:48:54 You simply won't...
01:48:57 die.
01:49:02 Are we so different,
01:49:06 You take life
01:49:08 as I do.
01:49:10 I have only one more life to take.
01:49:14 Then take it now.
01:49:29 They tell me your son...
01:49:32 squealed like a girl...
01:49:34 when they nailed him
01:49:37 And your wife...
01:49:44 when they ravaged her...
01:49:46 again and again...
01:49:50 and again.
01:49:57 The time for honoring yourself
01:50:05 Highness.
01:50:19 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:50:23 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
01:50:26 Maximus! Maximus!
01:50:33 General! General!
01:50:37 General!
01:50:39 - General! General!
01:50:42 - General!
01:50:44 Maximus! Maximus!
01:50:47 - General!
01:50:50 - General.
01:50:52 - Ostia.
01:50:56 Maximus! Maximus!
01:51:00 - We love you, Maximus!
01:51:03 Tell the men their general lives.
01:51:06 - Move along!
01:51:09 Maximus! Maximus!
01:51:33 Can they hear you?
01:51:38 Who?
01:51:40 Your family,
01:51:45 - Oh, yes.
01:51:51 To my boy,
01:51:54 I tell him I will
01:51:56 To keep his heels down
01:52:02 To my wife-
01:52:06 That is not
01:52:16 And now they love Maximus
01:52:20 So I can't just kill him,
01:52:25 The whole thing's
01:52:31 He is defying you.
01:52:33 His every victory
01:52:36 The mob sees this,
01:52:40 Every day he lives,
01:52:45 - Kill him.
01:52:48 I will not make
01:52:57 I have been told...
01:52:59 of a certain sea snake...
01:53:01 which has a very unusual method
01:53:05 It will lie at the bottom
01:53:10 Then its enemies
01:53:12 and yet it will
01:53:15 And then its enemies
01:53:20 and yet it remains...
01:53:22 still.
01:53:26 So,
01:53:29 we will lie still...
01:53:31 and let our enemies
01:53:35 Have every senator followed.
01:53:51 Maximus.
01:53:55 Cicero, my old friend.
01:53:57 I thought perhaps
01:53:59 - I thought you were dead.
01:54:01 How long have the men
01:54:04 - All winter.
01:54:07 Fattened and bored.
01:54:09 Who's in command?
01:54:11 Some fool from Rome.
01:54:14 - How soon do you think they
01:54:19 I need you to
01:54:26 Come see. Witness.
01:54:28 If you haven't been in the arena,
01:54:31 Giant Maximus is defeating
01:54:36 He's defying everyone.
01:54:39 - Ah! Look at that!
01:54:41 - Oh, he got him!
01:54:44 Give way! Give way!
01:54:47 Give way!
01:54:51 Three casks of red wine.
01:54:53 My lady?
01:54:56 -Back.
01:54:58 I served your father
01:55:00 - Back!
01:55:03 I serve him still.
01:55:05 Stop.
01:55:07 - Stop.
01:55:10 Stand back.
01:55:13 The General sends word.
01:55:18 - For your loyalty, soldier.
01:55:22 Hup!
01:55:31 Leave us.
01:55:38 Senator Gracchus.
01:55:53 General.
01:55:56 I hope my coming here today
01:56:00 you can trust me.
01:56:05 - The senate is with you?
01:56:10 Yes. I can speak for them.
01:56:13 You can buy my freedom
01:56:17 To what end?
01:56:20 Get me outside
01:56:23 Have fresh horses ready to take me
01:56:27 By nightfall of the second day,
01:56:30 But the legions all have new commanders
01:56:34 Let my men see me alive, and you
01:56:37 This is madness.
01:56:40 - No Roman army has entered
01:56:43 I will not trade
01:56:45 The time for half-measures
01:56:50 And after your glorious coup,
01:56:53 You'll take your
01:56:57 I will leave.
01:56:59 The soldiers will stay
01:57:03 So, once all
01:57:07 you'll just give it
01:57:10 Tell me why.
01:57:17 Because that was the
01:57:24 I will kill Commodus.
01:57:27 The fate of Rome
01:57:32 Marcus Aurelius trusted you.
01:57:37 His daughter trusts you.
01:57:42 I will trust you.
01:57:45 But we have little time.
01:57:47 Give me two days...
01:57:49 and I will buy your freedom.
01:57:53 And you-
01:57:56 You stay alive.
01:57:58 Or I'll be dead.
01:58:02 Now we must go.
01:58:09 It won't work.
01:58:12 The Emperor
01:58:15 And as for me,
01:58:18 it's becoming dangerous.
01:58:21 You will be paid
01:58:25 - I give you my word.
01:58:28 Your word?
01:58:30 Do you remember what it was
01:58:34 Trust?
01:58:40 Who am I to trust?
01:58:42 I will kill Commodus.
01:58:45 Why would I want that?
01:58:47 He makes me rich.
01:58:51 Oh, l-
01:58:53 I know that you are
01:58:58 I know that you
01:59:02 You would
01:59:05 You would die for
01:59:07 But l,
01:59:13 I'm an entertainer.
01:59:17 Hmm? Guard!
01:59:24 He killed the man
01:59:36 Praetorians, master.
01:59:44 Halt!
01:59:56 Where have you been?
01:59:58 I sent for you.
02:00:02 Please, brother.
02:00:08 What's troubling you?
02:00:13 Does Gracchus
02:00:17 I don't know.
02:00:21 I thought you'd seen him.
02:00:24 He infects everyone
02:00:28 For the health of Rome,
02:00:32 And he will bleed, too.
02:00:34 Very soon.
02:00:38 But not tonight.
02:00:54 Do you remember what
02:00:58 "It's a dream-
02:01:02 a frightful dream-
02:01:07 Life is."
02:01:11 Do you think that's true?
02:01:13 I don't know.
02:01:18 I think it is.
02:01:23 And I have only you
02:02:03 Open your mouth.
02:02:42 You know I love you.
02:02:46 And I love you.
02:03:24 Out. Get out!
02:03:26 Move!
02:03:33 Congratulations, General.
02:03:35 You've got very...
02:03:44 My brother's had
02:03:47 We daren't wait any longer.
02:03:51 Proximo will come at midnight
02:03:54 Your servant, Cicero,
02:04:00 You have done all this?
02:04:02 - Yes.
02:04:06 I have much to pay for.
02:04:10 You have nothing to pay for.
02:04:12 You love your son.
02:04:19 I am tired of being strong.
02:04:23 My brother hates all the world,
02:04:26 and you most of all.
02:04:28 - Because your father chose me.
02:04:33 Because my father loved you.
02:04:39 And because I loved you.
02:04:44 A long time ago.
02:04:50 Was I very different then?
02:04:59 You laughed more.
02:05:05 I have felt alone
02:05:08 except with you.
02:05:13 I must go.
02:05:15 Yes.
02:05:44 There. There.
02:05:47 - There. There. There.
02:05:50 There. There. There.
02:05:52 There. There. There.
02:05:55 - There. There. There. There.
02:05:57 And I've got you.
02:06:02 Isn't it late
02:06:04 I'm not a legionnaire.
02:06:07 - Not a legionnaire?
02:06:10 A gladiator?
02:06:14 Wouldn't you rather be...
02:06:17 a great Roman warrior
02:06:19 I'm Maximus,
02:06:24 The savior of Rome?
02:06:34 And who said that?
02:06:45 Where's Lucius?
02:06:47 He's with the Emperor, my lady.
02:06:53 -She couldn't.
02:06:56 She took it from a basket
02:07:00 right here
02:07:04 It bit her in the breast?
02:07:06 Yes.
02:07:08 You see, Lucius,
02:07:11 behave very strangely and do
02:07:15 I think it's silly.
02:07:17 So do l.
02:07:21 So do l.
02:07:23 Sister, join us.
02:07:25 I've been reading
02:07:27 - I've been reading too.
02:07:30 He's a very clever
02:07:32 He'll make a grand
02:07:35 We've been reading about the great
02:07:39 The queen killed herself
02:07:41 And just wait until you hear what
02:07:44 If you're very good,
02:07:47 tomorrow night I'll tell you
02:07:51 He was betrayed...
02:07:54 by those closest to him.
02:07:57 By his own blood.
02:08:01 They whispered in dark corners...
02:08:04 and went out
02:08:06 and conspired...
02:08:08 and conspired.
02:08:12 But the Emperor Claudius
02:08:16 He knew they were
02:08:20 And one night he sat down
02:08:24 and he looked at her...
02:08:27 and he said,
02:08:30 "Tell me what you've been doing,
02:08:33 busy little bee,
02:08:37 or I shall strike down
02:08:40 You shall watch
02:08:48 And the Emperor
02:08:52 The little bee had
02:08:55 than anyone else
02:09:00 And what do you think
02:09:04 I don't know, Uncle.
02:09:12 The little bee
02:09:54 Open, in the name of the Emperor!
02:09:57 Proximo!
02:09:59 Open the gates in the name
02:10:03 - Proximo!
02:10:06 Open the gates!
02:10:14 Open the gates, Proximo!
02:10:17 Do you want to die, old man?
02:10:20 Here.
02:10:22 Everything is prepared.
02:10:25 - It seems you've won your freedom.
02:10:28 are you in danger
02:10:31 Ha!
02:10:36 -Juba.
02:10:40 Open the gates!
02:10:48 Pull!
02:10:52 Move! Two columns on the left!
02:10:58 I only need moments,
02:11:01 If you don't want any part of this,
02:11:04 We'll wait here for you,
02:11:06 - Strength and honor.
02:11:10 Strength and honor.
02:11:14 Aim! Break the bars!
02:12:24 Shadows and dust.
02:12:26 Aah!
02:13:07 - Maximus!
02:13:14 I'm sorry.
02:13:16 No!
02:13:42 It's done.
02:13:51 And what of my nephew?
02:13:53 And what of his mother?
02:13:58 Should they share
02:14:02 Or should
02:14:07 Commodus the Merciful.
02:14:15 Lucius will stay with me now.
02:14:19 And if his mother...
02:14:22 so much as looks at me...
02:14:25 in a manner that displeases me,
02:14:30 he will die.
02:14:35 If she decides...
02:14:37 to be noble...
02:14:40 and takes her own life,
02:14:43 he will die.
02:14:48 And as for you,
02:14:53 you will love me...
02:14:56 as I loved you.
02:14:59 You will provide me
02:15:01 of pure blood...
02:15:04 so that Commodus
02:15:07 will rule for
02:15:13 Am I not merciful?
02:15:37 Am I not merciful?
02:15:52 Maximus! Maximus!
02:15:54 Maximus! Maximus!
02:15:57 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:00 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:02 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:04 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:08 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:11 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:14 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:17 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:19 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:21 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:23 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:27 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:30 Maximus! Maximus!
02:16:36 Maximus.
02:16:39 Maximus.
02:16:41 Maximus.
02:16:44 They call for you.
02:16:48 The general
02:16:52 The slave
02:16:56 The gladiator
02:17:01 A striking story.
02:17:04 Now the people want to know
02:17:09 Only a famous death will do.
02:17:13 And what could be
02:17:16 than to challenge the Emperor
02:17:22 You would fight me?
02:17:25 Why not?
02:17:30 I think you have been afraid
02:17:33 Unlike Maximus the Invincible,
02:17:42 I knew a man who once said,
02:17:47 All a man can do
02:17:50 I wonder.
02:17:53 Did your friend
02:17:56 You must know.
02:18:00 He was your father.
02:18:06 You loved my father,
02:18:10 But so did l.
02:18:13 That makes us brothers,
02:18:17 Smile for me now, brother.
02:18:24 - Strap on his armor.
02:18:27 Conceal the wound.
02:18:35 Maximus! Maximus!
02:18:37 Maximus! Maximus!
02:19:22 Ring formation!
02:19:24 Ring formation!
02:19:57 Off with his head, Maximus!
02:21:04 - Aah!
02:21:15 Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
02:21:18 Quintus, sword!
02:21:20 Give me your sword!
02:21:25 Sword! Give me a sword!
02:21:27 - Sheathe your swords!
02:21:30 Sheathe yours words!
02:23:48 Maximus.
02:23:54 - Maximus.
02:23:59 Free my men.
02:24:02 Senator Gracchus
02:24:06 There was a dream
02:24:09 It shall be realized.
02:24:12 These are the wishes
02:24:14 Free the prisoners!
02:24:41 Maximus!
02:24:45 Lucius is safe.
02:25:03 Go to them.
02:25:53 You're home.
02:26:22 Is Rome worth
02:26:29 We believed it once.
02:26:33 Make us
02:26:39 He was a soldier of Rome.
02:26:45 Honor him.
02:26:48 Who will help me carry him?
02:27:34 Now we are free.
02:27:42 I will see you again.
02:27:47 But not yet.
02:27:49 Not yet.
