Spartacus!

You charge without thought...

A weakness an opponent
could turn to advantage.

A difficult feat
from his backside.

You speak without
thought as well...

Another weakness.

Thracians... always on their
back with their legs spread.

Where they belong.

Forget everything you
learned outside these walls,

for that is the world of men.

We are more.

We are gladiators!

Study, train,

bleed,

and one day your
name will be legend,

spoken in hushed
whispers of fear and awe,

as the city speaks of
Crixus, champion of Capua.

But his legend

was not birthed in the arena.

It was given life here

in this ludus,

under the sting of my whip!

Attack!

Attend.

The vulcanalia is announced.

Vulcanalia?

A festival to
ward off wildfires.

Dominus Batiatus
has seen fit to fight 20

at this year's vulcanalia...

His gift to the people of Capua.

Our lowest shall fight at dawn,

eight pairs to follow,

after which your master
will present his primus...

Two of our finest

to meet in the arena.

Crixus then?

Crixus certainly.

And his opponent?

Against the champion of Capua...

What would it matter?

20 men... I pledged 20 men to
fill the ranks of the vulcanalia,

my own coin to
see each victor paid.

What thanks do I get
from the magistrate?

He fears he will be unable to attend
our reception on the eve of the games

- due to pressing concerns.
- Of what sort?

I hear a rumor he dines
with Solonius instead.

Solonius? But he offers not
one man for the vulcanalia.

Yet his tongue still manages to find
its way to the magistrate's asshole.

Is that new?

For the reception, yes.

The rising cost of this
thing raises concern.

It raises opportunity.

I question not its import.
I question its scale.

This drought has
stretched our resources thin,

and now without the
attendance of the magistrate...

Darling, you must spend
coins to receive coins.

My husband taught me that.

A wise man.

He has his moments.
And this will be one of them.

You'll delight and astound, securing
business for the year to come,

and perhaps even tempt Glaber's
wife to take up the cause of patronage.

Ilithyia?

I thought she was still in Rome
with that ungrateful husband of hers.

She returns absent
him for the games.

She's acquiring
quite a taste for them,

one which I shall
nourish to advantage.

This new color suits you.

Shall I dye the rest to match?

The bird would be
better served in my bowl.

Odds the meal
would be your last.

Barca?

He stands but tall.

He stands a legend.

After Carthage suffered
defeat by the Romans,

they forced
hundreds of his people

to fight against each
other in the arena.

Half a day passed,

and only two remained...

Barca and the
chief of his people,

the noble Mago.

Skill and the testament
of years were his allies...

strength and youth... Barca's.

Mago fell to his knees.

And Barca became
the Beast of Carthage.

He sent an old man on his way.

Mago was a warrior
of fierce renown,

a chief upon a throne of blood.

He was also Barca's
father, as the story tells.

Is it true?

In the world of the gladiator,

a man's fame and glory
constructs its own truth.

Fame and glory.

I seek neither.

Coin then, like me.

Batiatus: Open the gates.
And have the guard ready.

A moment, Dominus.

10 paces.

Is there any news of my wife?

She was indeed sold
to a Syrian merchant.

You found her?

I have cause to believe
she sails upon the Orontes.

To Damascus then,
or perhaps Antioch?

Do I appear a fucking arrow,

my nose pointing towards
your wife's dripping thighs?

You press beyond position.

Dominus.

The search continues.
That's all you need to know.

Until then, fight, win. The
price of her freedom requires

substantial sums on your part.

Too common. Show
me something of note.

A moment. I have just the thing.
My finest piece... a flawless gem

imported at great cost
from the mines of Scythia.

- Price?
- 30 dinarii.

30?

This piece... is it something
that Ilithyia would favor?

It's the only piece I'd show
her. She has very refined tastes.

25.

- 29.
- 28,

and I'll resist pitching
you off the balcony.

28 then.

Hmm.

Come along then.

Doctore: Form two. Ready?

One.

Form one. Ready?

One.

Two.

Form two. Ready?

One.

Two.

Form three.

Stand.

Spartacus, do you
dream of the mines?

My focus is on blood
and battle, Doctore.

Yet your training proves
you worthy of neither.

I'm a Thracian.

It is in my blood.

Thrace?

Hmm.

A swamp of piss.

Kneel.

The land from which you hail

matters no longer.

The only thing that does

is the sound of my voice

and the sand beneath your feet.

You will learn to worship it.

Back to training.

The sand smells like Thrace.

Perhaps I should shit
to complete the aroma.

You... you're summoned.

This drought seems never to end.

How do you fare?

Domina provides for me.

That's good. Good.

How long have you served Domina?

All my life.

I was born in this ludus.

You've recently come to blossom.

I barely noticed until I saw you

at the games with
Domina three moons past.

I fought Arnoch of Tarquinii.

Did you enjoy my victory?

I was pleased

when it ended.

It's no easy task to
sever a man's head.

You must find the right angle.

I do not favor the games.

Well, that is an odd bent

for a slave at a
gladiator school.

One not to be straightened.

I do not mean to insult.

Domina awaits.

You walk too slowly
to my chambers.

I do not want to arouse the
suspicions of my men as to my purpose.

What might that be,
O Champion of Capua?

Whatever Domina desires.

I bought this necklace
for the reception.

Do you think it's too much?

My blood rises,

though to give the necklace
credit would be false.

And what quickens your pulse?

A touch of your lips,

your breasts,

and all of the pleasures below.

I need your cock inside me,

and I need it in me now.

Never lose focus,

not if Jupiter himself were
to rip open the heavens

and dangle his
cock from the skies.

A gladiator's first distraction

is his last.

Not all contests end in death.

Two fingers... a
sign of surrender

and shame.

The oath I swore to this
place did not include begging.

He inquires as to the nuances...

I need no lesson in submission.

You prefer a different lesson...

In obedience perhaps?

To the hole,

both of you!

Perhaps I spoke out of turn.

Perhaps.

What I perceived as courage
in you reveals itself foolishness.

To surrender in the
arena... I cannot do it.

I must have victory.

What happens if that is
something you cannot provide?

Oh, silence then?

Next time you vex Doctore, you'll
find my tongue of a similar fashion.

Your company here
was not my intent.

Yet here I stand beside you,
my cock soaking in the same shit.

Apologies.

That's all?

No reason behind it?

No glimpse into the fevered brain
of what the fuck are you doing?

I seek only to please Batiatus.

Pluto's asshole.

The answer has no
balance with your actions.

He made me a promise.

What could he offer a man who
seeks neither fame nor glory?

My wife...

taken from me when I was
captured by the Romans.

I prevail in the arena,
and he will find her.

Is she worth it?

She's worth everything.

As is mine.

Two years here,

pay my debt with the winnings...
Hold her in my arms again.

Perhaps this smell will
have washed off by then.

What name do you call her?

Aurelia.

Yours?

Sura.

So...

buried up to our
balls in garbage...

Is this part of your
plan to get Sura back?

You would waste your
ration cleaning a bit of cloth?

It bears meaning to me.

Gather.

Your master's hand
has been at work.

The pairings of the
vulcanalia have been decided.

Crixus, unbeaten
champion of Capua,

you will honor the
house of Batiatus

by fighting in his primus.

And who will
challenge me, Doctore?

A man of skill and dedication.

His ability, his hard
work and his hunger

shall be rewarded...

Gnaeus.

At last we meet, brother.

Don't die too quickly.

Me?

I will fuck your corpse.

With what cock?

Ashur has the remainder.

May the gods be with you.

One by one. One by
one, you fucking cunts.

Batiatus himself
handed me this list.

Give it here, shitfuck.

Ashur: Savages.

Fucking cock.

Let me see.

Shit, give it here.

Did you gain position?

As did you.

We are set to fight each other

at the beginning of the games.

The first match...

The slot of the meek
and insubstantial.

We shall prove otherwise.

And to what aim? The victor's
purse won't be more than half a coin.

So little?

Not enough for
either of our causes.

And the primus?

Considerably more.

I've already bested
Crixus once in the final test.

Now I must fight my way up
through the dregs to face him again?

Dregs, am I?

You know my meaning.

If Batiatus hadn't
stayed my hand,

I would have parted
his brains from his skull.

There's no love lost
between myself and Crixus.

But I caution... he's dangerous.

A reputation built on what,

facing men such as
Gnaeus and his little net?

Crixus forged his
reputation against far worse...

Demons belched
from the underworld.

The Gargan twins.

Uh-huh.

Decimus and Tiberius, sons
of a whore raped by a jackal,

more beasts than men.

They terrorized the eastern seaboard
for many years until their capture.

They were cast
in the arena to die

and instead flourished on
meals of bone and blood...

The bodies of stout men left
in their wake, half devoured.

No one dared face them
willingly except for one...

Crixus, the champion of Capua.

The blood flowed.
The crowd roared.

And the demons fell
beneath his sword.

Spartacus: The sons of a jackal?

So they say.

This story is a jest

like Crixus himself.

Did you hear this one?

One day maybe
you'll prove yourself.

Till then you'll fight at dawn
with the rest of the shitwhores.

I keep pace with
the mighty Spartacus.

Does that place my
worth among the dregs?

- I misspoke.
- A thing with you, is it not?

I shall call you equal.
More will need to be earned.

It will be a good fight.

May the gods see
us both survive.

There are many I would
see dead in this place.

You are not among them, Varro.

You may not have a choice.

There's always a choice.

That look gives me worry.

Words I've often
heard from my wife.

Your net's aim is
remarkably true, Gnaeus.

You strike an impressive figure

battling that little wooden man.

I long to see you in the arena,

among the men.

There you are
with your fierce net,

like a young, wet girl.

Fucking cunt.

The sun has made Gnaeus mad.

He charged like a crazed goat.

I saw his eyes. They
were wild with thirst.

Barca, Kerza, tend to Gnaeus.

Back to work!

Ashur,

there's something I
need you to get for me.

Whatever your
needs, Ashur provides.

Follow me

away from prying ears.

I must make a point to
stop standing beside you.

Gnaeus is of an unsteady nature.

If your intent was to claim Gnaeus's
berth in the primus, you're a fool.

He served five years before
being afforded the privilege.

Sura cannot afford years.

Nor your death,

which is surely your station if
you face Crixus in the arena.

Gladiators,

your public has arrived.

Dress quickly. The
reception begins.

Crixus,

let good Mercato have a
closer look at your sword.

Dominus.

The very blade used to strike
down Tiberius and Decimus.

If you were to bestow
Capua with a gift of a munus,

what better means
than by securing Crixus

along with a dozen or so of my other
offerings to round out proceedings?

I have been contemplating the
games in honor of my good friend...

Ashur, good Mercato has
set his mind to a day of games.

Let's see his order
well filled, shall we?

Go.

- Oh, the dust and the heat.
- It worsens by the hour.

I'd yet be in Rome if it
weren't for the games.

You must promise
to visit while I'm here.

My father's villa is
beyond depressing.

It's unfortunate that your
husband couldn't join you.

How fares the legatus?

In a mood. Since his
return from Thrace,

the senate has
become his mistress.

Her demands on
him are boundless.

Men and their ambitions.

You know, they should learn to
appreciate the finer things in life.

That necklace... I adore it.

Oh, this? It's a trinket.

Calls to mind a piece I
had from Ramel one season,

when emerald
was still the fashion.

I hear it's coming back around.

Oh, perhaps I'll
root mine out then.

Friends old and new,
gratitude for honoring

the storied ludus of Batiatus
with your presence this eve.

Tomorrow's vulcanalia promises
many glories in the arena.

But tonight may I present you

with the finest gladiators
in all of the republic?

Look, touch,

feel the quality of the stock.

Place orders for any
of the men you covet.

Come, don't be
bashful. They won't bite.

And if they do, a 10% discount.

The crowd fancies our
Thracian, don't they?

A curiosity born of his
fortune against Solonius's men.

Better curiosity
than indifference.

Perhaps we could fuel this
interest into a conflagration of coin.

With Gnaeus of
questionable skull,

what make you of Spartacus
as replacement in the primus?

With respect, Dominus,

the public seeks
an honorable fight.

Spartacus is yet an animal.

Well, I'll think on.

One day, though, a
contest to be promoted.

A moment alone...

A rarity for a man with
such an adoring public, huh?

To business then.

A difficult task on
a short notice, yet...

carried to completion.

Cockfucker.

Your Gaul is of a
fine cut, is he not?

None finer in all
of the republic.

Such a man.

I tremble to see him
again at the arena.

As do we all.

The Thracian yet lives.

For now.

Is there nothing more
of interest to see?

Well, my husband will
shortly announce his primus.

And there's ample wine.

I fear it already
beckons my sleep.

Perhaps I'd best take leave.

Of course.

Of course, there is one thing
that I thought you might enjoy.

It's something of a much
more physical nature.

You,

come with me.

Five dinarii says he doesn't
last another 20 strokes.

I've never seen a
gladiator fuck before.

Look at the way he rams her,

like an enraged bull.

A gladiator's virtues extend

well beyond the
sands of the arena.

As lovers they are said
to be ravenous beasts.

You can touch.

Forgive me, Aurelia.

They provide
unimaginable pleasures.

Can he do it again?

Make him do it again.

Proceed.

- So are we in agreement?
- Rabanus will meet Crixus.

We'll move Hamilcar
up to fill the void.

I overheard Batiatus and
Doctore in conference...

The primus their intent.

The Sardinian is to face Crixus.

The news does not
balance my cause.

Whatever your
thoughts, cast them out.

Good citizens, you have
enjoyed my food, my wine,

the aphrodisiac presence
of my beautiful wife.

Now marvel at the announcing
for tomorrow's primus.

Crixus, the champion of Capua,

will stride across
the sand and face...

Spartacus!

No, let them fight.

Enough.

I'll take your fucking heart.

Come and take it, coward.

Ha!

See the hatred
burning beyond control.

Eh?

This was merely a taste.

Tomorrow they will settle
this grudge in the arena.

Crixus the undefeated,

Spartacus... the
dog who defies death.

A fight for the ages.

Glory to Capua!

Glory to Rome!

To Rome!

The reception nearly ruined,
and what is his punishment?

The fucking primus.

You heard the crowd. I
made the best of the situation.

The Thracian is yet to stand
a single match as gladiator.

Why leap him ahead of all
the others to face Crixus?

Because of what he
possesses... The public's interest.

They stroke a rabid dog.

Spartacus has struck a chord.
I intend to maximize its profit.

He's unpredictable.

He has no regard
for rules or for honor.

And if something
happens to Crixus...

He poses no threat to
Crixus. He is but a novelty

to be used and
discarded after a purpose.

Fucking gods' cock,
is there no wine left?

What are you standing there for?

Go and get some fucking wine.

Apologies.

I did not mean to startle.

When we spoke last,

I meant no offense.

I am practiced with
sword, not words.

If Domina discovers I
dropped the last jug...

Hand me the pieces.
I'll see them over the cliff.

Wait.

Perhaps this gift will
explain where words fail.

Please.

I'm trying to decide.

Upon what?

Congratulations or condolences.

You may have bested Crixus once

by tripping him
with that bit of cloth,

but to face him in the arena...

I believe his
reputation inflated.

Tomorrow I shall prove it so.

Next he'll boast he can
defeat Theokoles himself.

Perhaps, if I knew the man.

Theokoles... the
shadow of death.

He speaks so
brazenly of the arena.

He knows nothing of its history.

Theokoles is no man, Thracian.

He is something else entirely.

They say he
stands over 10' tall.

The very ground
trembles at his feet,

his shadow eclipsing the sun.

Most men fall dead
at the sight of the giant.

They are the fortunate ones.

My father tells of a munus

where the shadow
fought over 100 men.

But one survived.

A tale

to frighten children.

Theokoles is no legend.

Before he retired
from the arena,

only one man ever
faced him and lived.

And he breathes among us,

his whip ever at our backs.

Now is not the
hour for idle talk.

Tomorrow you
step into the arena,

many for the first time,

for some perhaps the last.

They cheer for blood.

And they shall have it.

May the gods bring you fortune
as they did me this morning.

Sura believed in the gods

when the Romans took her.

Not one descended from
the heavens to intervene.

I shall correct their
mistake presently.

I believe you will.

Capua!

The crowd favor your offerings.

Yes, a fine showing all around.
You honor our fair city, Batiatus.

The honor is mine, Magistrate.

Truth told, I feared the event would
pass without anything of note this year.

It's very difficult to procure men
of worth for these minor games.

Good Solonius was already
taken with loftier engagements.

Perhaps Solonius will
be available next year.

One can but pray.

Perhaps I was wrong
to return absent the rain.

Some water perhaps,

or maybe some wine.

Ugh, the thought
churns the stomach.

Your company last night

yet astounds the senses.

Too much?

Of wine, definitely.

Of other interests,

I think the surface
barely scratched.

Some water then

to slake your current thirst.

Here we go then.

Good citizens of Capua,

it is my great honor

to introduce to you

the primus of Quintus
Lentulus Batiatus.

Enter Thraex!

Behold Spartacus!

Spartacus! Spartacus! Spartacus!

Renowned for his
magnificent victory

at the games of
Senator Albinius,

where he single-handedly
slaughtered

four of Solonius's
gladiators... four!

Enter murmillo!

The marvel before you
needs no introduction.

He's known by his sword,
by his shield, by his glory!

Crixus, champion of Capua.

Crixus! Crixus! Crixus!

Finally, Crixus.

Look how his form
catches the sun.

Capua!

Crixus! Crixus! Crixus!

Capua!

Batiatus: In honor of
the name of Batiatus

and the sacred vulcanalia...

You've not yet finished the
oration, and yet the Thracian attacks.

- Was that not supposed to happen?
- No, it was not.

How exciting.

Is that all the
Thracian is capable of?

After what he did
against Solonius's men,

I had hoped for more.

Crixus! Crixus! Crixus!

Kill him!

Crixus, I love you!

Capua!

Shall I begin?

Now you die, Thracian.

Kill kill kill kill!

Spartacus fought well.

Let him live to
fight another day.

A sour bite to end the meal.

Apologies,

yet Spartacus was
of some cost to me.

You've already lost the crowd.

He lives.

How disappointing.

His reputation is well-earned.

My blade could find no weakness.

And yet it was there...

At least 10 points

where you could
have seized advantage.

You needed more training.

I shall train harder then.

No.

It is too late for such things.
