00:00It is an art, choosing gladiators.
00:04They're usually prisoners of war.
00:09I claim this city for the glory of Rome.
00:13You have something in you.
00:17Brave.
00:18Never let it go.
00:20It will carry you to greatness.
00:25I own you now.
00:30But whose head could I give you to satisfy your fury?
00:35The general will do.
00:37Rome has taken everything from me.
00:40But I will have my vengeance.
00:45There is plenty of pain waiting for you in the next life.
00:49I don't know why you are so greedy for it in this one.
00:55Your Majesty's.
00:57This is your gladiator.
00:58It is.
01:01I have the trust of the emperor.
01:03It will clear my path to the throne.
01:06You will be my instrument.
01:08I will never be your instrument in this life or the next.
01:14Lucius, take your father's strength.
01:17His name was Maximus.
01:20And I see him in you.
01:24Most fighters won't survive.
01:25You must help him.
01:28Strength among us.
01:31I don't fight for power.
01:35I fight to free Rome from men like them.
01:40Your name will be forgotten.
01:44Change the order.
01:46I must have power.
01:48Everything is forgotten in time.
01:52Empires fall.
01:55So do emperors.
01:57This is war.
01:59Real war.
02:03The odds are against you.
02:04The odds are always against me.
02:07Ready to ram.
