- Good.
- Have you had your breakfast?
- No.
Lucia will get it for you. Lucia!
Lucia!
- Where is that girl?
- Coming.
- Demetrius has had no food.
- It's ready.
Here's your breakfast. I saved you
some apricots. I know you like them.
- I hid them for you.
- Thank you.
If there was only one apricot left
in the world, she'd give it to you.
Peter gave me our master's robe
to keep for him.
- May I?
- Of course.
I never thought of Jesus as being so tall.
- Was he as tall as you, Demetrius?
- Just about the same.
You'd think his robe
would be made of silk and gold.
He was a carpenter.
All his life he'd worked with his hands.
- Like us.
- Just like us.
(fanfare and beating of drums)
By order of the emperor,
I am authorised to pay 20 pieces of gold...
...for information concerning the robe...
...which once belonged
to the criminal called Jesus,...
...crucified for sedition in Jerusalem.
Well? 20 pieces of gold.
The penalty for concealment is death!
Start the search.
Anyone here know of this robe?
It's said to be of homespun, red in colour.
Are you slave or free here?
I am a born freeman.
All the others have been freed.
Christians?
I'll have a look around.
Get backto your work.
You! Come back here!
(Lucia screams)
Why did you run? Why did you...?
Demetrius of Corinth. Assaulting
a decurion of the Praetorian Guard...
...in the execution of his duties.
- Is the decurion here?
- Here, sir.
The evidence seems impressive.
Are you slave or free?
Free, sir.
Mark of a slave, sir.
I was a slave, but my master freed me, sir.
A slave may be freed by emancipation before
a praetor, inscription in the censor's record,...
...testament on death of master
or declaration before witnesses.
- Can you provide proof of any of these?
- No, sir.
- Were you bought or born to the house?
- Bought, sir.
Where is your master?
- Dead.
- A Greek can invent a better story than that.
Flavius. Do you think he'd make a gladiator?
Look at the decurion's face!
Sentenced to be trained for the arena.
- Where is the master?
- Strabo!
- More prisoners.
- Open up.
You prisoners are lucky to be sentenced to
train as gladiators in the Claudian school,...
...rather than to one of the imperial schools.
This is the best. We have
the best trainers, the best physicians...
...to watch over your skins,
your health, your food.
We'll feed you well and dress you well.
You'll have meat at every meal.
Gladiators trained in this school are sought
after for the most important festival games...
...and also for
the emperor's private enclosure.
That's because we have an iron motto:
"We live well, we die well. "
