Senator Gracchus.
:48:24
General.
:48:27
I hope my coming here today
is evidence enough...
:48:30
that you can trust me.
:48:39
- The senate is with you?
- The senate?
:48:44
Yes. I can speak for them.
:48:48
You can buy my freedom
and smuggle me out of Rome?
:48:52
To what end?
:48:56
Get me outside the city walls.
:48:59
Have fresh horses ready
to take me to Ostia.
:49:02
My army is encamped there.
:49:04
By nightfall of the second day,
I shall return at the head of 5,000 men.
:49:08
But the legions all have
new commanders...
:49:11
loyal to Commodus.
:49:13
Let my men see me alive and you
shall see where their loyalties lie.
:49:17
This is madness.
:49:19
No Roman army has entered the capital
in a hundred years.
:49:24
I will not trade one dictatorship for another!
:49:26
The time for half measures
and talk is over, Senator.
:49:31
And after your glorious coup,
what then?
:49:36
You'll take your 5,000 warriors
and leave?
:49:40
I will leave.
:49:43
The soldiers will stay
for your protection...
:49:46
under the command of the senate.
:49:48
So...
:49:50
once all of Rome is yours,
you'll just give it back to the people?
:49:56
Tell me why.
