00:00It is an art, choosing gladiators.
00:05They're usually prisoners of war.
00:10I claim this city for the glory of Rome.
00:15You have something in you. Rage.
00:20Never let it go.
00:25I will carry you to greatness.
00:32I own you now.
00:34But whose head could I give you to satisfy your fury?
00:39The general will do.
00:41Rome has taken everything from me.
00:45But I will have my vengeance.
00:50There is plenty of pain waiting for you in the next life.
00:54I don't know why you are so greedy for it in this one.
01:00Your majesties.
01:02This is your gladiator.
01:03It is.
01:06I am the trust of the emperors.
01:09It will clear my path to the throne.
01:12You will be my instrument.
01:14I will never be your instrument in this life or the next.
01:20Lucius, take your father's strength.
01:23His name was Maximus.
01:26And I see him in you.
01:29Most fighters won't survive.
01:31You must help him.
01:34Strength to none!
01:35Strength to none!
01:37I don't fight for power.
01:41I fight to free Rome from men like them.
01:46Your name will be forgotten!
01:50To restore order, I must have power.
01:55Everything is forgotten in time.
01:59Empires fall.
02:01So do emperors.
02:04This is war!
02:06Real war!
02:10The odds are against you.
02:11The odds are always against me.
02:14Ready to roll!
