:00:03
The emperor wants battles, and I don't
want to sacrifice my best fighters.
:00:06
The crowd wants battles,
so the emperor gives them battles.
:00:10
- And you get the battle of Carthage.
- The massacre of Carthage.
:00:15
Why don't you go down to the prison,
round up all the beggars and thieves?
:00:19
We've done that.
:00:20
If you want to give away the best
gladiators in the whole of the empire...
:00:23
then I want double the rates.
:00:26
You'll get your contract rates,
or you'll get your contract canceled.
:00:29
You don't like it?
:00:31
Then you can crawl back down
that shithole that you came from.
:00:38
Cassius, please!
Cassius!
:01:08
Gladiator, are you the one
they call the Spaniard?
:01:11
Yes.
:01:13
They said you were a giant.
:01:16
They said you could crush
a man's skull with one hand.
:01:18
A man's? No.
:01:21
A boy's.
:01:25
- They have good horses in Spain?
- Some of the best.
:01:29
This is Argento...
:01:31
and this is Scarto.
:01:33
They were my horses.
:01:36
They were taken from me.
:01:38
I like you, Spaniard.
I shall cheer for you.
:01:42
- They let you watch the games?
- My uncle says it makes me strong.
:01:45
- And what does your father say?
- My father is dead.
:01:50
Master Lucius, it is time.
:01:53
I have to go.
:01:55
Your name is Lucius?
:01:58
Lucius Verus, after my father.
