:48:02
What does it matter if I trust you or not?
:48:06
LUCILLA: The gods have spared you.
Don't you understand?
:48:09
Today I saw a slave become more powerful
than the emperor of Rome.
:48:12
The gods have spared me?
:48:14
I am at their mercy,
with the power only to amuse a mob.
:48:18
LUCILLA: That is power.
:48:20
LUCILLA: The mob is Rome.
:48:21
And while Commodus controls them,
he controls everything.
:48:25
Listen to me.
:48:27
My brother has enemies,
most of all in the Senate.
:48:30
But while the people follow him...
:48:32
no one would dare stand up to him
until you.
:48:36
They oppose him, yet they do nothing.
:48:38
There are some politicians
who have dedicated their lives to Rome.
:48:42
One man above all.
:48:44
If I can arrange it, will you meet him?
:48:48
Do you not understand?
:48:50
I may die in this cell tonight,
or in the arena tomorrow. I am a slave!
:48:54
What possible difference can I make?
:48:57
This man wants what you want.
:48:59
Then have him kill Commodus!
:49:04
I knew a man once...
:49:06
a noble man.
:49:08
A man of principle who loved my father...
:49:12
and my father loved him.
:49:16
This man served Rome well.
:49:18
[Sentimental instrumental music]
:49:22
That man is gone.
:49:25
Your brother did his work well.
:49:27
Let me help you.
:49:34
Yes, you can help me.
:49:40
Forget you ever knew me,
never come here again.
:49:48
Guard! The lady is finished with me.
