:28:05
Maximus, stop.
:28:07
Is it really so terrible
seeing me again?
:28:10
No. I'm tired from battle.
:28:14
It hurts you to see
my father so fragile.
:28:20
Commodus expects that my father will
announce his succession within days.
:28:25
Will you serve my brother
as you served his father?
:28:30
I will always serve Rome.
:28:34
Do you know...
:28:36
I still remember you
in my prayers.
:28:40
Oh, yes. I pray.
:28:47
I was sad to hear
of your husband's death. I mourned him.
:28:52
- Thank you.
- And I hear you have a son.
:28:56
Yes. Lucius.
:29:00
He'll be nearly
eight years old.
:29:02
My son is also nearly eight.
:29:07
I thank you for your prayers.
:29:16
Ancestors, I ask
for your guidance.
:29:20
Blessed Mother, come to me
with the gods" desire for my future.
:29:24
Blessed Father, watch over
my wife and son with a ready sword.
:29:30
Whisper to them I live
only to hold them again.
:29:33
Ancestors, I honor you...
:29:37
and will try to live with
the dignity you have taught me.
