2:41:03
Half a million?
2:41:09
Crassus does seem to dwindle
in the mind, but--
2:41:14
Let's reduce him still further.
A round million!
2:41:18
A million.
2:41:20
For such a sum,
l could bribe Jupiter himself!
2:41:23
With a lesser sum, l have.
2:41:31
Forgive the intrusion.
2:41:33
You know l'm not in the habit
of coming into your house uninvited.
2:41:36
You've always been welcome here...
2:41:38
as a pupil.
2:41:44
- You're not alone.
- No.
2:41:48
This time you've come to teach.
2:41:52
You've joined Crassus?
2:41:55
- Am l arrested?
- No.
2:41:58
But l must ask you to come with me
to the senate immediately.
2:42:02
What l do,
l do not for myself...
2:42:06
but for Rome.
2:42:08
Poor helpless Rome!
2:42:11
Let's go and hear more
about Rome from Crassus!
2:42:20
Did you truly believe
500 years of Rome...
2:42:22
could so easily be delivered
into the clutches of a mob?
2:42:29
Already the bodies
of 6,000 crucifiýed slaves...
2:42:33
line the Appian Way.
2:42:35
Tomorrow the last of their companions
will fiýght to the death...
2:42:38
in the temple of my fathers
as a sacrifiýce to them.
2:42:42
As those slaves have died,
so will your rabble...
2:42:46
if they falter one instant
in loyalty to the new order of affairs.
2:42:51
The enemies of the state
are known.
2:42:54
Arrests are in progress.
The prisons begin to fiýll.
2:42:58
ln every city and province, lists
of the disloyal have been compiled.
