I'm Maximus,
the savior of Rome!
:46:06
The savior of Rome?
:46:15
And who said that?
:46:25
Where's Lucius?
:46:28
He's with the emperor.
:46:33
- She couldn't.
- Yes, she did.
:46:35
She took it from a basket...
:46:38
and pressed it to her breast,

:46:43

:47:19
And just wait until you hear
what happened to our ancestors.
:47:23
If you're very good, tomorrow night I'll
tell you the story of Emperor Claudius.
:47:28
He was betrayed...
:47:31
by those closest to him...
:47:35
by his own blood.
:47:38
They whispered in dark corners...
:47:40
and went out late at night...
:47:42
and conspired...
:47:45
and conspired.
:47:48
But the Emperor Claudius knew
that they were up to something.
:47:52
He knew they were
busy little bees.
:47:57
And one night he sat down
with one of them...
