:53:05
It's done.
:53:13
And what of my nephew?
:53:16
And what of his mother?
:53:20
Should they share
her lover's fate?
:53:24
Or should I be merciful?
:53:29
Commodus the Merciful.
:53:37
Lucius will stay with me now.
:53:40
And if his mother...
:53:43
so much as looks at me...
:53:47
in a manner that displeases me...
:53:51
he will die.
:53:55
If she decides...
:53:58
to be noble...
:54:00
and takes her own life...
:54:04
he will die.
:54:09
And as for you...
:54:13
you will love me...
:54:15
as I loved you.
:54:19
You will provide me with an heir...
:54:21
of pure blood...
:54:23
so that Commodus and his progeny...
:54:26
will rule for a thousand years.
:54:33
Am I not merciful?
:54:55
Am I not merciful?
