Commodus:
And now they love Maximus for his mercy. So I can't just kill him, or it makes me even more unmerciful! The whole thing's like some crazed nightmare.
Falco:
He is defying you. His every victory is an act of defiance. The mob sees this, and so does the senate. Every day he lives, they grow bolder. Kill him.
Commodus:
No. I will not make a martyr of him.
[Commodus walks around]
Falco:
I have been told of a certain sea snake which has a very unusual method of attracting its prey. It will lie at the bottom of the ocean as if wounded. Then its enemies will approach, and yet it will lie quite still. And then its enemies will take little bites of it, and yet it remains still.
Commodus:
So, we will lie still, and let our enemies come to us and nibble. Have every senator followed.

And now they love Maximus for his mercy.
00:00:07.296 --> 00:00:10.831
So I can't just kill him,
or it makes me even more unmerciful.
00:00:12.176 --> 00:00:16.423
The whole thing
is like some great nightmare.
00:00:17.556 --> 00:00:19.003
He is defying you.
00:00:19.475 --> 00:00:22.891
His every victory is an act of defiance.
00:00:23.002 --> 00:00:26.638
The mob sees this, and so do the Senate.
00:00:27.358 --> 00:00:30.275
Every day he lives, they grow bolder.
00:00:31.737 --> 00:00:33.529
- Kill him.
- No.
00:00:35.408 --> 00:00:37.815
I will not make a martyr of him.
00:00:44.959 --> 00:00:47.497
When I went to the Senate today...
00:00:47.587 --> 00:00:52.462
I purposefully told them about using
the grain reserves to pay for the games.
00:00:53.884 --> 00:00:56.999
And did you note what happened?
00:00:56.137 --> 00:00:59.034
- Nothing.
- Exactly. Nothing.
00:01:00.349 --> 00:01:02.721
Not a single word of protest.
00:01:02.081 --> 00:01:06.393
Even the insolent Senator Gracchus
was silent as a mouse.
00:01:06.048 --> 00:01:07.643
Why?
00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:13.998
I have been told of a certain sea snake...
00:01:13.154 --> 00:01:17.483
which has a very unusual method
of attracting its prey.
00:01:17.658 --> 00:01:21.407
It will lie at the bottom of the ocean
as if wounded.
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.664
Then its enemies will approach...
00:01:24.749 --> 00:01:27.833
and yet it will lie quite still.
00:01:28.169 --> 00:01:32.048
And then its enemies
will take little bites of it...
00:01:32.999 --> 00:01:35.339
and yet it remains still.
00:01:38.596 --> 00:01:39.758
So...
00:01:41.999 --> 00:01:42.842
we will lie still...
00:01:43.684 --> 00:01:47.001
and let our enemies come to us and nibble.
00:01:48.993 --> 00:01:50.001
Have every senator followed.
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.999
Cicero, my old friend. I thought perhaps
I'd seen you for the last time.
00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:14.001
I thought you were dead.
Close.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.501
- How long have the men been in Ostia?
- All winter.
00:02:17.999 --> 00:02:21.992
- And how do they look?
- Fat and bored.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:24.001
Who's in command?
Some fool from Rome.
