the Colosseum.
1:23:07
Oh, you should see
the Colosseum, Spaniard.
1:23:11
Fifty thousand Romans...
1:23:15
watching every movement
of your sword...
1:23:22
willing you to make
that killer blow.
1:23:26
The silence before you strike...
1:23:29
and the noise afterwards.
1:23:31
It rises.
1:23:34
It rises up like...
1:23:38
like a storm...
1:23:40
as if you were
the thunder god himself.
1:23:43
You were a gladiator?
1:23:45
Yes, I was.
1:23:55
You won your freedom?
1:23:57
A long time ago, the emperor...
1:24:02
presented me with a rudis.
1:24:05
It's just a wooden sword.
1:24:10
The symbol of your freedom.
1:24:15
He touched me on the shoulder,
and I was free.
1:24:21
You knew Marcus Aurelius?
1:24:23
I did not say I knew him. I said
he touched me on the shoulder once.
1:24:30
You asked me what I want.
1:24:34
I too, want to stand
in front of the emperor...
1:24:39
as you did.
1:24:41
Then listen to me.
1:24:43
Learn from me.
1:24:45
I wasn't the best
because I killed quickly.
1:24:51
I was the best
because the crowd loved me.
1:24:55
Win the crowd...
1:24:57
and you'll win your freedom.
