fastest what a pleasure greetings estate

have you brought the news

yes this evening we're to meet a

friedman who will give us some accurate

information

he's treacherous and mercenary but he

knows the secrets of half rome

you think he'll tell the truth ah it

takes gold to make such men truthful and

talkative

you're the only person i can count on

you've been my friend ever since i met

you as a legionarian felicia

come and sit down there in the tavern

with me we'll refresh ourselves with a

cup of wine and have a talk about old

times

bring us some wine

happy days weren't they when we were

serving on the eastern frontier

that's when urus was only a tribal

chieftain

i've never forgotten the time that he

said to me

but tell me a story why are you trying

to find the princess neither

are you in love with her

no you've always been like a brother to

me which is why i can trust you

i have to kill nisa kill her yes

by order of king orus i was the one who

helped him overthrow king arguelles

and take possession of his throne and

now i'm rewarded like this

it's either the head of the princess

neezer or it's my own

that's terrible you can count on me for

anything

how beautiful nisa was i can still see

her standing beside king aguilera

you see we murdered every member of the

royal family with a king

except for princess niza who managed to

escape from us

and today he is afraid that his enemies

might restore out of power

i must never return to felicia unless i

can take him that woman's head

but tell me how nisa managed to get away

with the help of a slave loyal to king

archelaus

a real giant marcus it was a miracle he

didn't crush us with his bare hands

drink up and don't worry now i think

you're about to achieve the purpose of

your mission

what is it everything is in order in the

stables the father arrived and has been

distributed and the blacksmith has

finished the work you ordered

very well valerius is leaving for rome

now is his horse ready for him have it

brought around to the front door

also have them bring the chariot with a

team of white horses because the senator

has to go out hurry now right away

how are you marcus when you can work in

peace you're always well

the master is quite pleased with the

work you do yesterday i heard him say he

wants to reward you

reward me why why because you cleared

out the sellers in such a short time

removing those enormous barrels that no

one else was able to budge that was

nothing

for me it was easy and

do you ever feel homesick for felicia no

because i couldn't feel safe there

tell me nisa she's a noble birth isn't

she

the fate of human beings is changeable

today she's a slave like myself

and i swore to a father that i would

protect her well you must admit fate has

been kind to her up till now

and if the gods are willing fate will be

even kinder to her

thanks to the noble heart of our young

master hilarious

and i love you velarius but i'm afraid

i know you will never have the consent

of your parents to marry me

you you're the only son of one of the

most illustrious families of rome

and i i'm only a poor wretched slave

girl whom your mother herself bought and

paid for in a public slave market

they won't ever let us marry and i will

lose you forever

no we won't lose each other my mother

and father both love me and are

kind-hearted

they will understand that they must not

forbid our happiness nisa and when i

return to you here you're leaving

you're going to abandon us another time

i have to return immediately to rome

from there in a few days i'll have to

proceed to bring dizzy along with my

legion

when will i see you again i don't know

but i promise the day i return i'll

speak to my parents of our love

and i'll ask them to give you your

freedom and their consent to marry you

publius here comes your father

well let's hope this visit of yours to

mcrinus may serve our purpose

i trust it will have you had my chariot

around yes senator it's time for you to

go now

the gods watch over you both during my

absence and now i have to leave you but

first father

i would like to speak with you leaving

so soon hilarious my son who knows when

i will see you

soon i hope this particular departure

son is not the same as the others have

been your father and i are most upset

hilarious

what's to become of us what do you mean

mother we're accused of embracing

christianity

and you know that means being faced with

the threat of persecution that's

ruthless you know envy's our family but

now he is the prefect for the

praetorians

all his spitefulness may quite suddenly

give way to unbridled fury

but the emperor would never allow such a

man to commit an act as unjust as that

against the family that added so greatly

to the glory of the romans the emperor

karakala will now listen only to the

words of vettius rufus

and the longer he does so he grows more

and more pitiless

the best of romans accused of imaginary

crimes are falling beneath the blows of

the pretorians

and now they dare to accuse even us of

embracing christianity

it's inconceivable that caracalla should

believe this of us it would seem he does

valerius

i can't believe that the emperor is as

utterly blind and cruel as you say

now don't worry how are you

i've never been so happy

you can tell me everything in rome now i

too must be on my way

in rome you'll be there tomorrow i

should go into the city for an audience

with the emperor and there i'll refute

these absurd accusations at least i

shall make every attempt to

but i'm not very confident will the

senate give their support

certainly but today i shall seek

guidance and good counsel for marcus of

alias mccrinos who has just arrived at

his villa here in the neighborhood

the senators who oppose these merciless

policies of karakalas

all heed as one the advice of marcus

mcrinus and he is the only senator

who can command the fear and respect of

that pack of criminal lunatics

surrounding karakala

[Music]

farewell

here this is the place

oh

greetings fastest this is septimius the

man we're looking for

well let's sit down why don't we so we

can talk more easily there

bring us two pictures of your best

fellainians

let's hear it uh i found out where you

can find that girl

the one you're hunting where is she

she's living with

some patricia it's not far not more than

a mile or so

take us there immediately but it's

almost dark now

we'd better wait until daybreak i'm

losing my patience

over two years now i've hunted for that

miserable slave girl i sympathize

that after two years can't you wait a

few longer

but if you knew what an effort and what

a lot of cash it cost me to get this

information

then you're still not sure of it you

haven't seen her with your own eyes no

i haven't but a person that i trust have

anyway

i'll lead you to her if you'll agree to

give me another

uh hundred sisters

a hundred sisters but you gave him a

hundred didn't you

yes i did give them to him oh come on

now what's the mere 100 sister sees to a

general from felicia

very well finish the business quickly

and i'll give you another hundred

substitutes but only when i have neither

within my power

agreed and now let's have a drink to the

success of our little enterprise

so stop by what are you doing

i

with your am who gave the order for this

disturbance

how dare you don't pay dearly for this

outrage

that you're rufus i warn you call of

your men at worst

call us your man

[Music]

don't let them escape

let one get away

go away from here

restrain that madman

so

stop you fool that giant of a man is

worth his weight and gold

i want him alive

destroy every single thing here and

remove everyone these slaves have been

confiscated and now belong to the state

move on move on quickly

what is your business here

[Music]

i see you've vented your hatred against

valerius and all his family

i'm the prefect of the praetorians and

i've acted solely on the orders of the

emperor

karakala i'm sure never ordered you to

kill these two

malarias and his wife were guilty of the

crime of belonging to the outlawed sect

call christian

i categorically refuse to believe that

either one was saved with so great in

offense

they have never failed to honor the gods

marcus oprelius macrinus

proceed to give their bodies decent

burial but i advise you not to argue

the emperor knows all too well your

rebellious spirit and your words of

hostility

in the senate and elsewhere my words

will now protest this infamy

recall to your masters attention that

tyrants like him in rome

have always been short-lived and

punished

[Music]

[Music]

patient the villa isn't far away no more

than my 100 justices

[Music]

so

let me pass i am valerius the younger

let me pass i say

no one is allowed to enter here out of

my way

criminals murderers barbarians

what is your explanation for this leave

this place at once i sympathize with

your feelings

but i'm forced to obey my orders i want

to bury my parents bodies no power on

earth can prevent my doing so senator

mccrinus has arranged for the burial

filthy cowards you've killed two

innocent people savagely you're a lot of

common outlaws you and your commanding

officer

but i'll have my revenge on you control

yourself hilariously younger

i'll say it again my father was the most

obedient and faithful of romans

what you've done here is criminal

there's no use you're shouting at me

i'll cry it out in front of the emperor

then i refuse to serve any longer

in an army of castro summit valerius now

get out of here

or i'll be forced to put you under

arrest

[Music]

so

you and your pictures of palette let's

drink to our enterprise if we'd started

when i wanted to yesterday evening would

have had the slave girl but my

information was correct what's this

don't blame me if the emperor decided to

confiscate all the blunt of hilarious

and and my hundreds esther sees me off

with y'all

astarte there's still hope for you

you're the general of a friendly monarch

make an application to the prefect

asking to buy these yourself

the emperor wouldn't even grant me a

single audience he made me refer my

complaint to the prefect

what did you say to that rufus that it's

not clemency but just as i ask

and that i still refuse to serve in an

army that destroyed my entire family

imprudence with the best intentions is

in practice

the most ineffective weapon in

overthrowing a tyranny i show you

he who tramples on the freedom of rome

won't have much more time

to vent his fury on freeborn citizens

the best men among us even at the cost

of their own lives

will soon put an end to this emperor's

reign of terror

aquinas you must do your best to help me

recover one of my slave girls who was

confiscated with the others

this is hardly the moment to lose your

head because you happen to be in love

with a slave girl but nisa isn't a slave

girl in that sense but a girl of

refinement who has won my heart and whom

i insist on marrying

if the gods had not wished to see us

treated cruelly i would have set her

free and asked my parents to give their

consent and blessing to our marriage

but now she is simply a slave girl and

you are as ever a patrician of rome

in a moment of difficulty i'm aware of

it

i wish to thank you for your wise

counsel macronus

tomorrow my household is leaving rome

for a few days rest in my village kuma

i want to breathe air somewhat purer

than the cities they say the emperor

also will be able to breathe freely

knowing that i'm out of town

[Applause]

is this as far as you've gotten forgive

us master

the baggage cart is heavily loaded and

the horses were nearly exhausted

i had to rest and water them we can't

keep up the same pace that you do

how cool this water is would you like to

try it my lord

thank you

i don't believe i've ever tasted water

better than this it comes from those

mountains where there is an altar to one

of the sybils

they say that this water has the power

to soothe the pangs of love perfect

in that case i'll need a couple of jars

of it yes kill them and don't be long

now

we will meet at the villa of anu's

[Music]

quadriceps

me the reins i want to drive a while

[Music]

if you're tired it wouldn't make any

difference where are we going now

to mentor us to work on a new road how

far away is it

it shouldn't be very far from here

in turn this isn't very far now i know

this neighborhood and what put you here

with us

i was put out to work by my master he

said that i robbed him

but i never stole from him

oh

[Music]

now

so

so

so

was it you who saved me yes

tell me your name marcus i'm

grateful to you and i won't forget you

put him back in the line and time again

you come here

the emperor is delighted to grant your

request and this is his degree of

freedom for the slave girl nisa

king uras my sovereign lord will be ever

grateful for the clemency of the emperor

the divine karakala proves what your

sovereign lord is doing to bring peace

to cilicia

restoring the freedom and respect to the

daughter of his predecessor

but how can i find the girl in question

the slaves that once belonged to

valerious

were declared the property of the state

the emperor has already assigned them to

public agencies one part is in the

quarries of taquina and the other is

building a road at minternus but neither

is with which group exactly

well the slaves as long as they remain

of no particular importance to us

can't be expected to have records kept

of them

but with a sealed imperial edict to

display it won't be difficult generally

starting to trace the girl and have her

consign to you wherever you please

i'm grateful to you rufus

my friends i have enjoyed your

hospitality more than i can tell you

i wish to thank you for this banquet as

i leave and above all prescott for this

wine which i would willingly drink all

my life

but we must drink to your complete

recovery mcranus and also to your

permanent good health

and now macrinus how would you like to

pay a visit to my gladiator school

at rome you may have heard some talk

about it it's famous that i know

but i will reserve that pleasure for

another visit at kuma

i have kept my overseer waiting for me

you anes

are interested in creating gladiators

and i in breeding bulls

in a time of crisis like this which do

we use

my professional swordsman or your bulls

well now that you raise the question i

think too many swords are drawn against

respectable citizens

the rate of such crimes is mounting

every day and the emperor does not

prevent them perhaps he even orders them

you wouldn't be in doubt as to the

justice of karakala

i would like to be in doubt but my

conviction is that today

it's non-existent

to tell the truth i'm still

grief-stricken by what has been done to

the family of hilarious christians must

not be shown the slightest mercy

we cannot admit exceptions to an order

of the emperor when i think of the

crimes committed in the emperor's name

macronus you know that christianity

represents a threat to the security of

the empire

for that reason it should be destroyed i

don't think so

and valerius wasn't a christian at all

in any case it's better that would be

kind and tolerant

since these christians have never

resorted either to violence or to

weapons

i wish to thank you again oh not at all

machinists it's you who have honored us

you will come back soon won't you at the

end of the season when i'm on my way to

rome

i would like to be of help to that slave

the one i mentioned who came to my

rescue in the water

anus i wish you would trace him

well there are a great many slaves being

employed on public works in the

neighborhood you know

it won't be easy do me the favor i beg

you i shall be your debtor

you can rely on me macrinus i promise i

will do everything in my power to help

you

till we meet again

farewell farewell

do you really intend to make a search

for that slave

not even for a moment macrinus doesn't

count in rome anymore

he has fallen into disgrace and for us

it wouldn't be wise to be compromised

within

[Music]

beyond the hill of the pines there the

ground becomes marshy

we'll have to double the depth of the

road bed and anchor it in place by

sinking pilings this far

well if they don't send us some more

slaves the work will fall behind

schedule more and more every day

yes it can't be helped water

give me some water get to work there

keep moving

get out on your feet

[Music]

yes

so

stand where you are

he's too big for you better keep an eye

on him yes i agree with you

get on with the work that marcus is

amazing

it's really extraordinary what that man

can do he's as strong as a bullet with

ten men of such strength the work would

proceed ahead of schedule

i'm sure of that

do you have a permit for anything oh

what a nuisance as if this was the first

time you've seen me come here with wine

for your soldiers

ah you were the one who was always a

nuisance to us a glider

marcus my dearest i couldn't come here

these last few days because there was so

much work to do with the tavern i was

beside myself

tomorrow we're working near the river

i'll come at any cost

i'll think of some excuse to satisfy my

master that's enough of your chatter go

on pour off the line now

i'll see you tomorrow you too marcus

that's all for today call in line

quickly

[Music]

are you tired nisa

this work is too heavy these slave

drivers

faster

so

[Music]

so

you wait for word for me at the place we

agreed upon very well

imagine what a life it was three years

in bithynia you're lucky

three years without the nagging of your

wife go on your throw

what may i offer you sir bring me a

picture of your fellainian

tell me can i have lodging for the night

in this inn yes indeed

a picture of fellaini

there's someone who wants a nice lodging

well let him have a look at the room

upstairs

tell me do you know of any slaves around

here assigned to work on the new highway

there's only one group and with women in

it too

have you noticed a tall man working

among them a very strong man and his

name is marcus

yes i have seen him and i know where you

can find him

you see once in a lifetime you never got

a chance to look at her but she was the

most beautiful woman in all of within

here

i'll bet you'll be dazzled by any old

crown of 80 dice

my throat now it's your throat

does it suit you yes

why are you so interested in that slave

i'm very fond of him he once belonged to

my family

have you also noticed a girl with green

eyes and beautiful blonde hair whose

name is niza

ah i begin to see you've fallen in love

with her

is she you want to rescue would you be

kind enough to help me

i'll see that you're well paid no i

don't want to sing

and i will do what i can for you you can

trust in me completely

and why because i'm in love with marcus

what's the name of this man jesus he is

called christ

and his followers are beyond counting

and spread throughout the world

and you do you believe all this nonsense

the message of christ is our only hope

of salvation the day will also come

in which there will be no more slaves or

masters either and all

our chains of iron will be broken and

taken away forever from our hands and

feet

are we supposed to forgive even the

overseers who are caught why of course

we must forgive even our enemies my

child because only through forgiveness

may we enter into the kingdom of heaven

and sit on the right hand of the one who

is the only king in existence

our lord

listen listen over here

get away from there if not i'll whip you

listen to me

i have news of importance let me speak

to the chief overseer right away

yes go on go on

you must eat something if you want to

survive

you must keep up your strength no

valerius has forgotten me i know

an obedient slave girl does wrong to

raise her eyes to those of her own

master

i should have expected it hilarious will

keep his word

if i still control myself it's because

i'm waiting for his orders

believe me

what do you want i overheard them

plotting as christians

the old one said that their god would

return because he wants to reign as king

in place of the emperor nowhere and the

soldiers of this king are supposed to be

those dogs a pack of slaves and chains

don't let them scare you but they say

there are christians even among the

gladiators trained by anus

and you know they have weapons if you're

imagining all this i'll have your tongue

burnt out with a pair of red hot pincers

i warn you

i swear it's only what i heard

i'll go tell the questor then

eight

eleven tomorrow night you'll be the one

who pays the wine at the paver

we're not through yet

that's the only outside window in the

prison you wait here now

i'll go and try to draw the sentinel

away

[Music]

i'd lie where are you going my master

the innkeeper sent me to bring you some

wine it's a gift from your centurion in

fact

give me a taste of it uh uh first i have

to deliver it to the guard house if you

want any come along

i can't do it i'm on guard duty oh don't

let it worry you

i'm sure those bars are much stronger

than even your mighty arms

come on too

[Music]

you wait here

i brought you some wine it's a present

from your commanding officer

seems like the centurion must have heard

what we were saying a little while ago

wonderful i never refused free wine

hey where's mine you'll be next year

knees up knees up

hilarious

my darling i've come to get you out of

here call marcus

marcus marcus

valerio marcus we haven't a moment to

lose i have two trustworthy men on guard

to keep us covered

our glide has been able to draw away the

[Music]

sentinel

[Music]

uh

and you know the centurion ordered me to

bring him five whole pictures of wives

well the first one he poured down

standing on parade in honor of mars

and the second one stretched out in

marsha's embrace in honor of venus

i'd have to sacrifice with us in honor

of venus are glad ah

no one gets to sacrifice to the love

goddess with me unless he delivers me

from that foul-tempered innkeeper once

and for all

turtledove venus herself wouldn't cost

us so much

[Music]

they're escaping they're escaping

hurry hurry after them

[Music]

oh

hello

put him back in the cell and chain him

to the wall

[Music]

don't stand there do just as i told you

i'm sure you are trying to run away you

weak-minded monster you pay me for what

you've done

move move

all those chains tighter around him so

he can't move at all

you're gonna pay two for this night's

work that beast can't protect you now

you'll never

be able to help you i'll cure you both

of wanting to run away

when a slave rebels the way you did you

should be strung up and nailed to a

cross

but to do away with a brute who has a

strength of a hundred slaves would be

too wasteful

we can do something to you to make you

docile and helpless without affecting

the strength of your arms you'll find

out

even a lion without his eyesight is no

longer a wild lion

there's nothing to worry about you'll be

on your feet in a few days your wound

isn't a serious one

the soldiers evidently didn't know you

otherwise they would have been here to

get you

no i'm all right now it's for neither

that i'm so upset

now that she's back in the hands of

those butchers they'll be more vicious

after our attempt to get her away

don't worry for knees the strength

invincible

marcus will protect her even now

the iron is white hot now

[Music]

yes it's just right

[Music]

look straight into my eyes because this

is the last time you look at anyone

stop what are you doing western this

slave was caught trying to escape

and inciting the others to rebellion why

the man's a constant threat to us with

his superhuman strength

you want to destroy an invaluable

treasure such as this

he could become a most magnificent

gladiator

what is your name my name is marcus

i'll take you into my service if you

show as much strength and spirit when

you fight in the arena as you've shown

in prison here

i might even grant you your liberty i am

willing to fight as a gladiator if you

will let her come with me

is this woman yours

no but i promise to protect and defend

her

conduct this slave under close escort to

my gladiator school

and have the girl taken to my villa she

can serve my wife

the gods protect you more than any

mortal deserves

you release the slave at once

[Music]

attack

that's right

like that bastard

parry with your kids

stay in close quarters put your shield

higher

awesome

now moving

if i had your muscle then you had my

brain power who knows what we'd be in

the world

we should be emperors at least what

would you do if you were emperor

papillas

uh i'd run away yes because for me here

there's no future

but an emperor can't run away that's

what you think

yesterday i saw a guy just need to help

her get inside here

she wants to see you she's in love like

a pussycat in the moonlight now now

help her if you can

listen i told her to make a noise like a

house he had to bring some wine too

otherwise she won't get in

drink and drink it to keep up your

spirits

follow through

that's it that's it

that's enough for you your turn now

marcus the rest of you out of the ring

you there you can be the first to try

him out

see what you can do

[Music]

playback

[Music]

easy there or else you'll be sorry

you've made excellent progress here

marcus when you come to fight and rom no

gladiator i know we'll be in a class

with you

when do we go to rome uh that's whenever

the master says

you you some practice come on out here

lively get your helmets on

don't wash yourself too much otherwise

your muscles will get a chill in them

now what's all this attention for i've

already met all my sisters on your first

professional fight don't you expect me

to take good care of you

marcus

now you dry yourself well neither

finally

i tried over and over again to come here

but the sentinels always sent me away

before

today they let me come in for once

populius brings me news of you

how does your mistress treat you i must

say she's fair life with frisk is more

humane than laboring on the highway but

i still still in it easier

but if i'd not survived and perished in

that hellhouse and valerius would never

been wounded

i've had no word of him since then never

fear

if it were serious a gly would have let

me know oh marcus i'm so worried if i

only could be near him now

i am sure nieza that we'll have news of

hilarious very soon

now i must go well my mistress will look

for me remember

if you ever need me just help opinions

thank you

i'm leaving for rome i must speak with

the emperor at once

i've discovered some christians even

here in mentornus

caracalla will have another proof of

your fidelity but with your weak

character i'm afraid it will obey you

nothing

will remain forever rotting away here in

this deary wilderness

while other men of less capacity are

raised to the highest positions of

courtyards you'll see this time

caracalla will listen to my request if

only because of the hatred he feels for

the christians then tell him also what

we learned from the crime

i shall also tell him that in a word beg

him promise him but please do something

that will get us out of this provincial

life which is so suffocating

i'll do my best keep calm oh the same

old promises as usual

no believe me prisca this time i will be

successful

your wish will be granted

don't be afraid

you don't have enough spirit to be a

good fighter

[Music]

arrest those two gladiators i know

they're christians

eight guards come with me step forward

to the prison they're christians you say

yes i have definite proof

be careful because these fanatics are

known to be infiltrating everywhere

avi i hear that you've become the best

of them all

he's better than the trainer he is you

shall have your rewards my friend

when i return from rome your first

professional fight before the public

will be to the death

no one after such brief training has

ever entered the arena before but i have

great confidence in you marcus

inside come on

[Music]

why don't you sit down valerius

serve the wine to what do i owe the

honor of your welcome visit

i've come here to seek the kindness and

the compassion of the good questor on

your squadrons

my husband has gone to rome for an

important conference with the emperor

but you may speak freely with me if i

can be of use to you i should be

delighted

i wish to thank you prisca i have heard

of course of how you've lost

all of your family and i'm distressed

beyond words but a noble young man like

you

brilliant and gifted should never be in

doubt of himself

we'll see that the emperor is told don't

no it's out of the question

i wish to redeem two slaves who are now

in your household

and who formerly belong to our own i

would like to free them

who are they their names are nisa and

marcus

it's plain about marcus as a slave he's

invaluable

a gladiator like marcus could at any

moment be sold and bring you a fortune

oh i assure you prisca that is not what

i intended my true affection for him is

like a brother's

and what does the girl mean to you she

enjoyed affection all the time she was

in our house

my mother loved her well valerious don't

think that i can't appreciate what your

tenderness is for her

i find it hard to believe that a little

slave girl is of such worth that she met

as much attention as always

of course unless don't ask for more

reasons i beg you

i count on your understanding and i

shall be grateful

very well valerius when anyas returns

from rome i shall speak to him and let

you know what he says

but why don't you call on me more often

i'll be happy too

[Music]

valerian

[Music]

it almost seems impossible to me after

all we've been through that terrible

night

and that horrid cell for the slaves how

i suffered

how i longed for you to come and you

were wounded

it's healed now i was lucky at least for

once i'd like get me hidden out of

danger

but don't let's be seen together if they

find us it might be dangerous for you

i'm past caring if i can only stay near

you i'm willing to submit again to the

overseas lash

it wouldn't be prudent in view of what

i've just asked your mistress to do

i mean to redeem you and marcus both for

manus oh velarius

are you sure that's not a hopeless dream

of you no it's not hopeless

i've spoken to prisca and i've persuaded

her to use all her influence for the

questor

pray that heaven is willing that we all

be happy

my parents are gone now they can't share

our happiness

i know i'll try to give you all my love

to make up for them

i shall always be near you

is prisca kind she's rather demanding

she's kind really

i enjoy a degree of liberty in the

household but i'm not with you

and that's what's worse than chains and

i am setters it will soon be over

lisa don't worry i'll never leave you

here

hurry up open the door between the two

of you i'll get into trouble

quietly i'll let you drink wine for

nothing for a whole week that's a great

idea

now be careful oh stop worrying no one

is going to find out

let's hope not go ahead

[Music]

let's pray the gods are on our side

wait a minute

[Music]

they'll be kissing each other and i'll

probably get beaten up

there's no justice

what are you doing here who are you

don't you recognize her she's an old

friend of marcus go on

go on in but now be good they'll be free

wine for you too

there's so much in love haven't you ever

been in love

well then look

hilarious has gone in to talk to julia

prisca he's going to ask if he can buy

nieces in your freedom

i was sure he wouldn't desert us he

promised to try to do the same for me

we're going to be so happy marcus

tell me nieza why do you think valerius

is so anxious to buy your redemption

i don't know he was once my master

for such great generosity there must be

a strong motive

the valerian family has perhaps some

reason to feel indebted towards you

on the contrary i am the one who owes

them a life of serenity and comfort

until the day that and it's simple

really our friend valerius wants to

redeem his mistress

i have never been his mistress her love

has always been pure and honest

a young slave girl like you is only to

be used as a player thing for her young

master

as long as she pleases him but when it's

over she finds herself sold to an ugly

old merchant of the hat no no

you wouldn't do that would you miss just

i know valerius loves me

you thought you knew it but perhaps

you'll find him changed towards you

don't say that mistress accept his offer

of redemption

have some pity on me i beg you let him

redeem me

i thank you

come in there's a slave girl here from

the questor

come in were you sent by prisca the wife

of anyas

you for a valerian this is indeed a

miserable hovel

and you don't even have an attendant now

i understand your anxiety to blind

miser have you come here to let me

redeem her as i asked you

i have come to give you some good advice

valerius instead of wasting your time

with some wretched little slave girl

why not think about re-establishing your

place among the romans

and cultivating those friendships that

might help you to regain your rightful

position

i must confess the truth your niece as

the girl i love with all my heart

that's why i want to redeem her how low

you have fallen even in your sentiments

i shall do well in refusing to sell it

to you at least for the prestige of the

valyrian family

whatever the cost i intend to have that

girl don't you think it's a little

imprudent to speak in such a way that

the mistress of the slave girl you love

julia friska listen to me

[Music]

i heard what she said to you be careful

valerius

you know i'd like i love nieza i will

save her if it costs me my life

just don't forget that a woman who

enjoys cruelty can inflict any torture

that she wishes on one of her slaves

your plate

it'll be all right lisa

you'll not suffer much longer velarius

has made an offer to redeem you

i don't believe it'll happen our

mistress is jealous that's why she sent

me to work here

valerius will rescue you it won't be

very long now

have faith in him

i hope that you've learned your lesson

don't play the spy

and keep your hands off these poor

people

i suggest you listen carefully to marcus

hank

and keep his words clearly in mind here

because we're sure to be here again

sometime when you don't expect us

or what's next in the curriculum

[Music]

now don't you forget

[Music]

get back to work there get the word

[Music]

well what are you stopping for did you

see what they're doing to nisa

priska has decided that valerius can't

have her well anyway those beasts of

overseers will remember the lesson we

gave them

and in the meantime mises at the mercy

of her mistress

who won't let her be redeemed because

she's in love with valerius valeris is a

handsome man

if i were a girl i fall in love with him

myself listen to me we're going to help

niza to escape

what do you mean escape huh i've got to

rescue that poor girl

i can't leave her there you've got to

help me

i'll get her out if it cost me my life

george said that in just a minute if it

costs you is not mine

you're big and strong you can use a

sword you're not afraid of anyone or

anything i know

look at me just look one careless touch

from one of your great poison

i'd be broken right in half even if your

body is weak your heart's as strong as a

lion's

my heart my heart when i tell you this

is going to end badly

will you help me

well all right ambassador estation a

mission from the king

of salisha he has a seal decree from the

emperor in what way can i be of service

to you

general estachi is looking for a

solution slave girl whose name is nisa

neither there are many slaves belonging

to the state working on this project

i don't recall that were you quite sure

you can look for yourselves if you wish

i'm quite certain that she's not here

come on

that's enough you two

come on keep moving

[Music]

see that they're shut up in the dungeons

below the gladiator cells

you'll be responsible and i want you to

make sure your soldiers guard them day

and night they are christians

you shall be obeyed crystal also the

slaves that i've transferred from the

project of public works will be placed

under your supervision

i intend to have them dig an eel pond on

my estate guard them closely

i know how to take care of this gum

leave it to me

who are they they're christian slaves

wait and see what happens to them

after they finish digging the pond to

keep the lampreys in they'll be fed to

the same lampreys for lunch

i guess he must have got the idea in

rome

i have a way to do so anxiously i hope

you have good news to give me

well i think i have then you are

satisfied with your decision to visit

the emperor

extremely satisfied he treated me just

like an old friend

he kept ambassadors and all kinds of

important people waiting in order to

talk to me caracalla gave me a free hand

in order to get rid of the christians so

before i started back i arrested a good

number of them

they're strange criminals don't try to

resist the rest and confess immediately

quite incredible

but have you spoken to him about your

aspirations five years mentors are a

real exile

oh if i can help to exterminate the

christians i'm quite sure that i will be

given a high position at court

while i was in rome i spoke with vicious

rufus the prefects of the praetorians

about this

he was very encouraging indeed

who are these men they want to speak to

you on behalf of an ambassador from

cilicia ah

health to you and prosperous days ania

squadrius a starting general and

ambassador from the king of silesia

is eager to be known to you in order to

discuss the affairs of his nation

the ambassador of a king friendly to

rome will always be a most welcome guest

in my house

please convey to general astate and his

sweet an invitation to dine with me at

my table tomorrow evening

i'm honored accept my thanks

anya squad is farewell

farewell

the warm reception i had from caracalla

give me some wine

has obviously increased my prestige

you see how the ambassador of the king

of celestia wants to discuss his private

affairs with me

i knew your prestige won't improve at

all until you've crushed the conspiracy

of the christians when i have all of

them in my hands

i will send them as a present to the

emperor for the games in the circus

only the claws of a lion will crush

forever those

miserable rebels

my mistress have you agreed to my

redemption

you will find your redemption in the

doors of the lions in the circus of rome

i don't understand you you're a

christian aren't you

you were praying to their cross weren't

you don't pretend you're not

if you say praying to the one god who

asks for love and forgiveness for all me

is a crime then i can only confess to it

take it away and throw in prison with

the others

marcus marcus have you heard the latest

what's happened prisca has ordered knees

are thrown into prison i found out from

the maids

in prison yes with all the christians

why must they persecute her so when

she's innocent

i'm afraid neither has confessed she

worships the cross and wants to show the

same thing

we can't wait any longer we have to

escape what is it marcus

neisa has been imprisoned as a christian

she'll be condemned like our comrades

were arrested

she is not going to be martyred we'll

rebel and save her

that's a desperate attempt for survivors

marcus is worth a hundred soldiers if

they capture us we'll all be killed

if we don't try our comrades and neither

will face certain death

and what will our fate be except to die

in the circus to entertain the mob

we must try this very night there are

four of us five

and the others you speak to the rest of

the gladiators they love liberty as much

as we

and you secure the weapon and me don't

move from here you keep a sharp eye on

the sentinels

leave it to

[Music]

don't me so high and mighty don't you

know who i am a glide

accept my profound respect my noble lord

i advise you not to be so aloof with

these friends of mine

we're members of the suite of the

ambassador from the king of salish

you should have respect for us at this

very minute he's being entertained by

the quest

i'll bet you're here on a mission of

great importance aren't you now

[Laughter]

wouldn't you like me to tell you well

you know it's always interesting to hear

what's going on in foreign countries

i'm the one to tell you because i like

you i've come here with a very

influential person

ambassador astati i drink to the health

of king urus

and to that of a starting his most noble

ambassador

now tell me to what do i owe the honor

of your visit

noble estate i am here in search of a

royal princess of salisha who was led as

a slave to rome about two years ago

she's the youngest daughter of king

aguiles whom you probably recall

her name is nisa in my household staff i

have no solution slave girl with a name

like that

nisa was a slave in the house of

hilarious and subsequently assigned to

public works in this zone

the slaves confiscated from the valerian

family our property of the state

and i can't possibly i have a decree

from the emperor

i'm informed that the slave girl is

actually in your position

very well i started very well of course

i look for this girl

there are thousands of slaves employed

on my estate

and unfortunately i cannot tell you now

if this nisa exists or not

made please the gods that she be found

in our possession i should be delighted

to honor your king by setting her free

but i'm certain that these informers of

yours are mistaken

astarte hopes to get his hands on lisa

to put her to death and it's by order of

the king of felicia

she is the only surviving princess of

the royal family that was driven from

the throne and she represents a danger

to the king who usurped

i can believe it the stories told by a

drunkard are often true

what are you going to do we must act at

once together with marcus

we must save her before it's too late

i'm coming too

hey papillious why all so late uh well i

just can't sleep that's all

i envy you i can't hold my eyes open

well that's because you drink water

if you drink wine like me you'd be more

alert yes you get your wine for nothing

you get special treatment from that

tavern girl oh well what do you expect

i'm so handsome

go ahead

marcus markers

hilarious marcus we must save nisa at

once a starter has come here to kill her

a starter here that murderer

he's dining with anus there's not a

moment to lose where is niza

in the prison with the other christians

we must get her out and far away from

here yes

come on

[Music]

we're ready to do what we can we'll be

glad to fight for you

thank you i thank all of you

[Music]

[Music]

hurry

[Music]

oh

don't be afraid that's what i'm here

aren't i

come on hurry hurry

quick come on

[Music]

hurry quick

escaped all of them

christians and gladiators

all of my huge investments swept away

the guards were taken completely by

surprise sir what good to me were your

hundred legionnaires on guard duty

and overseer supposed to be first class

how did they manage to break away from

their chains and bars with the aid of a

slave of great power together with an

overseer

marcus i should have known better than

to prevent them from blinding him

when he was on the road gang and

rebelled ever since marcus was enrolled

in the school for gladiators

discipline has been impossible

what did you say was the name of this

slave who rebelled marcus he's a

solution slave

was there by chance a slave girl with

him named neither

yes she was in the death cells because

she has confessed herself a christian

and she too has run away

the girl i was looking for was in your

possession and your fleshy denied it you

countermanded an order of the emperor

astarte we do have just learned for the

first time that the slave girl you

wanted was here

how could we know all the names of those

miserable christians that we have had a

risk but now i'll never get my hands on

princess

noble starter you shall have your cern

says and you shall have her sooner than

you think

because those runaway slaves can't have

got so very far away up till now

and when i get my hands on marcus i'll

punish him as he deserves

if we stay here much longer sooner or

later they're bound to capture us

for me that will mean the axe but for

you the cross don't any of you forget

that for a moment

the only thing left for us to do is to

try to make our way to safety across the

sea

in iberia my uncle is proconsul and he

can be counted on to save our lives

but how do we get there i'll go to

former and find a ship that will give us

passage to iberia

once there we will be safe at last

i'll be back soon formula isn't a long

way off marcus will take care of you

nisa and the others as well

don't worry she's here with us

[Music]

i bid you welcome betty's roofers

and you too noble estate may the gods

look with favor upon you

more so than on you i trust the emperor

is most perturbed at what is happening

in minternus

why didn't you turn over to astarte the

slave girl he had been granted

he will have the girl as soon as we can

capture those rebels why there are mere

handful of slaves badly armed and feeble

christians incapable of putting up a

fight

but commanded by a patrician as clever

and courageous as young valeria

and with that marcus i've been sent to

take over full command of the military

operation i shall go with you i have to

deliver nisa to my king that's agreed

you on here sort of follow my orders now

very well

what do you intend doing i intend to

comb the neighborhood with constant

patrols and i'll force those rebellious

slaves to surrender

then i shall punish them without mercy

to set an example

how soon can you muster your souls i'll

see to it immediately please come inside

here's the book and you need it too

there aren't any springs in the forest

oh but when are you going to bring us

wine again a gly water makes tadpoles

grow in your belly

you should be thankful you have

something to drink at least

pretty soon i'll have to bounty with a

patrician roman lady

until valerius has returned i don't dare

hopefully i think he'll be back rest

assured of that

there are better times ahead for us too

marcus good girl gly

you have a good heart

keep needs a company and cheer her up

will you

let's go

good handy good hunting hey watch out

for wounds now aren't you coming with us

for periods oh no no i always go hunting

all by myself

my

now here is where we'll separate we must

search closely everywhere

you are take your men through the valley

i'll follow along the riverside

you will enter the forest with your

cavalry only the infantry is to be left

at the edge of the forest

very well i'll go with anias

yes you come with me

much less work and more to show for it

too but it's sweet oh yes indeed it's

delicious

for a little felt it breaks my heart why

there's nothing to feel sorry for say we

let them go

you've lost your mind with all of us

practically finished

look at me let's let him run away you

mean you love it just wait till i've

lost and they want to spit then you see

i spit yeah

[Music]

follow me

[Music]

oh you could be along the left bank of

the river the rest follow me

[Applause]

it looks to me like they've forgotten

this i'm not too sure about that there's

no cause to worry

look the questor alias hasn't even

bothered to try to catch us maybe he's

waiting for the winter weather to drive

us down into the lowlands

i hope you're right it lies oh i wish i

could bathe in warm milk like they do in

rome

wouldn't it be divine

ugly you should be grateful for this

clean running water to wash yourself in

and for not having welts on your back

from being whipped too

today i'm pretending to be a real

patrician lady

lisa the soldiers are here

[Music]

tell me where the others are hiding i'll

have a lot of you killed

round up those women before they get

away

[Music]

[Music]

well did you find anything no

[Music]

i wonder where they can be hiding we

must capture those slaves

rufus may be a great general but i don't

see the necessity of using so many men

to hunt a handful of slaves

it's not spartacus in his army that we

need such complicated maneuvers

what would you have done instead i'd

have waited until hunger and cold drove

them out of the forest

march the prisoners away

[Music]

[Music]

look

over there

marcus soldiers rufus

they've taken everyone away to die when

just now to the

penis

we'll attack the romans even if they do

outnumber us and for the others in the

caves

i'm not eager to die but i won't abandon

our friends

whoever wants to keep the freedom i gave

him can stay behind

i'm going come on man

the majority of the fugitives have been

recaptured the very few left and we'll

get them soon that won't be easy you

still haven't captured marcus and he's

the worst of all

we'll capture him too don't worry

your physique

now you'll pay for the murder of my king

put him in chains and take him along

with the other prisoners

come forward ah

it's as big as hercules and handsome too

just a massive muscles the slave girl's

attractive

so the sheep have come back to the fall

day

little niece doesn't look so pleased

with herself where is your handsome

valerius my damn

a runaway slave and confessed christian

one death is not enough to punish both

crimes

your patrician lover will come to the

same end

how often i've repented having saved

your life that time

but now i will be splendidly entertained

watching you die

like a bull in the slaughterhouse

why don't you call upon your miracle

working god to free you

someone told me that an old christian

during the night

invoked this god of his and went flying

head over he used

your god why don't you let's see you fly

if you can

show us this fantastic magic of the

christian treasures

your summary punishment will serve as an

example take them away

when are we going to see these famous

dancing girls

i promised you a magnificent spectacle

but it's something much more exciting

than dancing girls some jugglers then or

the gladiators that you have no more

even more rare and far more exciting

the christians

[Laughter]

worthy of a poem they say that they die

singing songs

a centurion wishes to speak with you at

once not now they believe in their

resurrection

[Laughter]

vicious rupers what do you want the

emperor karakala was killed yesterday in

a palace revolution

and who has been proclaimed the new

emperor the legions the senate the

people are

claiming various names including your

own but nothing is decided so far but

very soon the senate will establish who

is to be the legitimate successor

i will accompany you with my legion we

mustn't miss the spectacle of the

christians and the slaves death we will

leave immediately afterwards i pray that

the gods grant you the robe of imperial

power i won't go and forget your old

friend caesar let us drink to the health

and fortune of our dearest friend

vetsius rufus i offer the sacrifice of

those rebels to the father of the gods

that he may protect my interests glory

to rufus

and prisoner and halt to mintonus in

chains

they wounded and captured even marcus we

all fought as hard as we were able but

the romans outnumbered us

ten to one don't think that any of us

ran away

look nearly all of us were killed or

wounded it's not enough to be brave

against such overwhelming odds believe

me valerius

however we managed to get away with a

few of their horses the gods are truly

pitiless to me

i had found a ship to take us to safety

in iberia

why can't i escape this curse that

hounds me with misfortune

why can't i look there velarius here

comes a slave who belongs to anus

i've run away from the villa to warn you

today there is a great feast in honor of

vicious rufus who's going to rome

as a spectacle worthy of such an

important guest they're going to crucify

the christians and all the runaway

slaves while we stand here talking they

may be dying

[Music]

i don't want either of us to die

[Music]

please give us strength

[Music]

[Music]

i must admit this is much more

entertaining than the usual dancing girl

[Music]

[Music]

there should really be a long line of

them stretching to rome to remind them

of spartacus

i think you would at least have ordered

some musicians so that you wouldn't have

to listen to their scream

if you'd ever been a soldier you

wouldn't be so sensitive to a few little

moans

why don't you prove your strength to us

now tear yourself

loose from there come down show what you

can do

be brave of life i'll try

the woman you love should show herself

worthy of you

what a pity your beloved valerius isn't

here to admire you now

well my little princess you finally

ascended your rightful throne huh

oh lord forgive us our sins

[Music]

come with me

so

so

[Music]

so

so

the new intro

i thank you for having saved the lives

of my friends we shall always be

grateful to you

to have saved the life of the son of my

old friend valerius the elder

is my first joyful achievement as

emperor

but how did all this occur that's just

roofers condemned these innocent people

to die on the cross

i tried to rescue them but if you had

not arrived on time all of us would have

been slaughtered

you will see justice done valerius you

will have the honors do a patrician of

rome and the property that you inherited

why that man is marcus yes

you are the slave that once saved my

life

i the emperor of rome owe you an

enormous debt of gratitude

i saved the life of a man without

thinking if he were a king or a slave

take this man down from the cross and

all the other slaves

i want my reign as emperor to begin with

this act of clemency

dale caesar

[Music]

see that full honors are rendered to

anius and that he is buried as befits a

patrician

[Music]

a gly has consented to be my wife she

can't find words to thank you

from this moment you are both free thank

you caesar

and with valerius and neither you will

join my sweet in rome

at my court you'll find it easy to

forget these terrible trials

and start a happy and prosperous life

i hereby declare you all three citizens

of rome

[Music]

you
