:18:02
Stop.
:18:06
Stand back.
:18:08
The General sends word,
he will meet your politician.
:18:13
- For your loyalty, soldier.
- Thank you, my lady.
:18:25
LUCILLA: Leave us.
:18:32
Senator Gracchus.
:18:47
General.
:18:49
I hope my coming here today
is evidence enough...
:18:52
that you can trust me.
:18:59
- The Senate is with you?
- The Senate?
:19:03
Yes. I can speak for them.
:19:06
You can buy my freedom
and smuggle me out of Rome?
:19:10
GRACCHUS: To what end?
:19:13
Get me outside the city walls.
:19:15
Have fresh horses ready to take me to Ostia.
My army is encamped there.
:19:19
By nightfall of the second day,
I'll return at the head of 5,000 men.
:19:22
LUCILLA: But the legions
all have new commanders...
:19:25
Ioyal to Commodus.
:19:26
Let my men see me alive,
and you shall see where their loyalties lie.
:19:29
This is madness.
:19:31
No Roman army has entered the capital
in 100 years.
:19:35
I will not trade one dictatorship for another!
:19:37
The time for half measures and talk is over,
Senator.
:19:41
And after your glorious coup, what then?
:19:45
You'll take your 5,000 warriors and leave?
:19:49
I will leave.
:19:51
The soldiers will stay for your protection
under the command of the Senate.
:19:54
So...
:19:56
once all of Rome is yours,
you'll just give it back to the people?
