2:16:01
l understand--
l'm informed--
2:16:04
that Spartacus once trained
under your auspices.
2:16:07
Yes! ln fact...
2:16:09
if it isn't too subversive
to say so...
2:16:12
l made him
what he is today.
2:16:15
You're to be congratulated
indeed.
2:16:17
l, too, as it happens, since you're
so admirably qualifiýed to give me...
2:16:21
what up to now
l've not been able to obtain:
2:16:24
a physical description
of Spartacus.
2:16:26
Yes.
2:16:27
But you saw him.
2:16:31
- What?
- ln the ring.
2:16:34
When?
2:16:36
When you visited my school
with those two charming ladies.
2:16:41
What?
2:16:44
l trust they're both
in good health.
2:16:46
They selected him to fiýght
against Draba, the Negro.
2:16:49
- l remember the Negro.
- You had good cause to, if l remember--
2:16:52
lf l may say so, Your Excellency.
2:16:54
A brilliant dagger thrust.
Diffiýcult angle.
2:16:57
- Spartacus was the opponent?
- Yes.
2:17:02
What did he look like?
2:17:04
That's a matter of some
importance to Your Highness?
2:17:07
Yes, to every man who loves Rome
and wishes to see her strong.
2:17:11
We're both Roman patriots, sir.
2:17:13
You're a great one.
l, of course, smaller.
2:17:16
But we both believe
in Roman fair play.
2:17:18
lf you want
something from me...
2:17:20
l would be lacking
in respect for my own conscience...
2:17:23
if l did not say
that l wish something from you.
2:17:25
Name your price.
2:17:27
lf-- no--
2:17:30
when you win
your victory tomorrow...
2:17:32
presumably the survivors
will be auctioned off...
2:17:35
in order to pay for the expenses
of this heroic expedition.
2:17:39
Could not the agent
for that sale be he...
2:17:42
who shares this tiny moment
of history with Your Honour?
2:17:48
l authorize you to be the agent
for the sale of all survivors.
2:17:52
ln return, you will remain here with us
until after the battle...
2:17:55
and aid me
in identifying Spartacus.
2:17:57
After the battle?
2:17:59
You misunderstand me.
l'm a civilian.
