:29:02
I think you have a talent for survival.

:29:11
Maximus, stop.
:29:14
Is it really so terrible seeing me again?
:29:17
No. I'm tired from battle.
:29:20
LUCILLA: It hurts you to see
my father so fragile.
:29:26
Commodus expects that my father will
announce his succession within days.
:29:31
Will you serve my brother
as you served his father?
:29:35
[Soft instrumental music]
:29:37
I will always serve Rome.
:29:40
Do you know...
:29:42
I still remember you in my prayers.
:29:46
Oh, yes. I pray.
:29:53
I was sad to hear of your husband's death.
I mourned him.
:29:58
- Thank you.
- And I hear you have a son.
:30:02
Yes. Lucius.
:30:06
He'll be nearly eight years old.
:30:08
My son is also nearly eight.
:30:13
MAXIMUS: I thank you for your prayers.
:30:22
MAXIMUS: Ancestors,
I ask for your guidance.
:30:26
Blessed Mother, come to me
with the gods' desire for my future.
:30:31
Blessed Father, watch over my wife and son
with a ready sword.
:30:36
MAXIMUS: Whisper to them,
I live only to hold them again.
:30:40
Ancestors, I honour you...
:30:43
and will try to live
with the dignity you have taught me.
