to commemorate his father...
1:06:02
Marcus Aurelius.
1:06:04
I find that amusing...
1:06:06
since it was Marcus Aurelius...
1:06:08
the wise,
the all- knowing Marcus Aurelius...

1:06:11
that closed us down.
1:06:16
So, finally, after five years
of scratching a living...

1:06:20
in flea- infested villages...
1:06:22
we're finally going back
to where we belong...

1:06:26
the Colosseum.
1:06:29
Oh, you should see
the Colosseum, Spaniard.

1:06:33
Fifty thousand Romans...
1:06:36
watching every movement
of your sword...

1:06:41
willing you to make
that killer blow.

1:06:45
The silence before you strike...
1:06:47
and the noise afterwards.
1:06:49
It rises.
1:06:51
It rises up like...
1:06:54
Like a storm...
1:06:56
as if you were
the thunder god himself.

1:06:58
You were a gladiator?
1:07:00
Yes, I was.
1:07:08
You won your freedom?
1:07:10
A long time ago, the emperor...
1:07:14
presented me with a rudis.
1:07:16
It's just a wooden sword.
1:07:20
The symbol of your freedom.
1:07:24
He touched me on the shoulder,
and I was free.

1:07:29
You knew Marcus Aurelius?
1:07:31
I did not say I knew him. I said
he touched me on the shoulder once.

1:07:36
You asked me what I want.
1:07:39
I, too, want to stand
in front of the emperor...

1:07:43
as you did.
1:07:44
Then listen to me.
1:07:47
Learn from me.
1:07:48
I wasn't the best
because I killed quickly.

1:07:53
I was the best
because the crowd loved me.

1:07:56
Win the crowd...
1:07:58
and you'll win your freedom.
