:43:12
Can they hear you?
:43:19
Who?
:43:21
Your family, in the afterlife.
:43:26
- Oh, yes.
- What do you say to them?
:43:34
To my boy...
:43:38
I tell him
I will see him again soon...
:43:41
and to keep his heels down
when he is riding his horse.
:43:47
To my wife...
:43:52
that is not your business.
:44:03
And now they love Maximus
for his mercy.
:44:08
So I can't just kill him,
or it makes me even more unmerciful.
:44:14
The whole thing
is like some great nightmare.
:44:21
He is defying you.
:44:23
His every victory
is an act of defiance.
:44:28
The mob sees this,
and so do the senate.
:44:33
Every day he lives,
they grow bolder.
:44:38
- Kill him.
- No.
:44:42
I will not make a martyr of him.
:44:52
I have been told...
:44:55
of a certain sea snake...
:44:57
which has a very unusual method
of attracting its prey.
