"In his lone struggle against injustice, his name became a symbol of strength." "This is the true story of Maciste, whose legend has surpassed all time." "MACISTE, THE STRONGEST GLADIATOR IN THE WORLD" "ROME." "One night in 261 AD." " Well?" " It's ready now." "Give it here." "I'll take it to him." "I recommend that you don't let anyone disturb us." "Understand?" "This is the best Falerno that I know." "You may judge it for yourself." "It's fit for a lord." "I'm offering it to you." "All right." "And now we will get down to business." "Do you know how much money we need?" "A hundred talents each." "Do you have enough?" "Two saldo afterwards, naturally." "Have faith in me:" "I have always lived amongst them." "No-one knows them better." "You will have the most suitable men..." "The most bloodthirsty and cruel..." "The most ruthless." "Another two!" " What are you called?" " Fisio." "This one." "I saw him fight yesterday." "You have a good eye." "Bruto is the best one in my gymnasium." "He has fought for twenty years." "Look here." "Look carefully." "Look at the wounds." "Observe the scars." "Turn round." "Your opponents always hit you." "Yes..." "But they are dead." "I bought you, and the seven of you cost me more than you're worth." "Now I am your sole owner." "I could order you to fight to the death, one against the other." "One of you might succeed, perhaps, in saving his skin." "But then another fight awaits you." "It's a miserable existence, with one foot always in the grave." "Meat for slaughter." "But instead." "I offer you freedom and money." "What I ask you in exchange is not difficult for men like you." "Let's be clear:" "You risk your skin all the same." "But for one time only." "And if all goes well, you will be free men." "You will be rich enough..." "Bruto, to return to Thrace..." "You, Fisio, to Iberia," "You to Illyria, Sidone." "You, Astorige, to Gaul." "You, Arminio, to Beozia." "And you to Numidia, Tucos." " Back to your homes." " What are you saying?" "That you obey me and don't ask questions." "But you can refuse if you want." "If you accept..." "You come over here." "I spent my money badly." "I thought you were smarter." "Come in!" " I will come only if you take him too." " And who is he?" " My brother, Menide." " I don't know him." "What can he do?" "You." "Try and strike him." "Don't worry, it's been sharpened well." "Come on, strike him." "Are you satisfied?" "I hope that your brother doesn't cost too much." "MERSABAD." "Capital of a Kingdom in Asia Minor." "The Kingdom of Mersabad no longer has..." "a sovereign, as just and fair as my father." "His wisdom and fairness, was an inspiration always, in every act of the government." "I will remain faithful to the laws promulgated by him." "Our beloved sovereign Talima will pronounce judgement..." "On the controversy between the noble Sclepione and the plebeian Telite." "I have closely examined your reciprocal arguments..." "I order you, Sclepione, to compensate Telite for the damage you caused him." "No!" "That isn't compensation, That is an insult to your sovereign." "Pick up the money, Sclepione!" "Thank you, Talima." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I will never allow the strongest to oppress the weakest..." "Nor the rich to exploit the poor." "I was called prematurely..." "To uphold the fate of this Kingdom, but no-one should be under any illusion:" "My father protected the deprived and the humble..." "And his will lives on after his death." "You go beyond his will." "You wish to crush the aristocracy..." "And you forget that we nobles, are the most valid defenders of the throne." "My throne rests on the well-being of the populace." "May I sincerely express my thoughts?" "You are my sister, your opinion means a lot to me." "You are wonderful." "I am proud of you." "You can count on my faithful obedience." "I will strive to support you in your onerous burden." "I am certain that you will be helpful to me, Prince Oniris." "You are the head of our party, you have a duty to intervene..." "But instead you betray our cause." " Bring some more wine!" " Yes, right away!" " Wine!" "Wine!" " Quickly!" " I want a drink!" " Are you going to bring us the wine?" "Calm down, calm down, I heard you." "I heard you." " Hey, woman!" "Come here!" " Come here!" "Come here!" "You know that I am always gentle with women!" " Come here!" " How tender you are!" "I already told you that I'm gentle with women!" " Come to me!" " Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" " Stay with us!" " Come on!" "That lot want a different wine, what should I do?" "Change it!" "change it!" "So long as they leave Mersabad and return to Rome." "Look." "Get down from there, you damned animal!" "Get down from there, I tell you!" "Get down!" "Come on, get down from there..." "You're eating all my stuff!" "Get down from there!" "If I ask you nicely, will you come down?" "Get down!" "Wait, now I'll make you do it!" "That's not the way to treat animals." "Look." "Look at how it's done." "Come on, eh?" "It is necessary to be kind, respectful, sympathetic." "It's necessary to be kind?" "Hah!" "Get down!" "Get down, you evil beast!" "Let go!" "Let go, I tell you!" "I feel lonely, I want your company!" "I want a toast to women!" " You have decided at last." " Let me go!" "Coward!" " I'll sort you out!" " No, Goliath!" "Dance!" "Show us some sexy dancing." "Coward, let go of me!" " Come." "Come with me." " Go on, dance!" "Damned delinquents, let go of her!" "Leave, if you don't want me to use force, eh?" "Ugly gorilla!" "Put him here!" "Yes!" "Let me go!" "No!" "Help!" "Help!" "Let me go, coward!" "Let me go!" "Let her go!" "Let her go!" "Coward, let me go!" "Coward, let me go!" "Now that's enough!" "What did you say?" "Throw those savages outside!" "They are going to feel my strength!" "Where do you want to go, giant?" "Oh no, Goliath!" "Run, Goliath!" "Thank you." "You are committing a crime, you are ruining me!" "One, two, three, four, five!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Wine?" "Thirsty?" "Look out, Goliath!" "What did you say?" " If you come near, you'll get it!" " You too!" "You bastards... !" "Ugly gorilla!" "No!" "No!" "No, not the beard!" "Let go of my beard!" "Ah, so you're hiding?" "Come on out!" "Astorige!" "You like the wine, eh?" "Now you can drink it!" "This is dry, but you are wet!" "This is much older, you know how good it is!" "All of my wine!" "My best wine!" "There's no more!" "Drink it!" "Drink the last drop!" "Drink it!" "No!" "No!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "They've hung me!" "Help!" "Help!" "They've hung me!" "Help!" "Help!" "Have you gone mad?" "What have you been doing?" " We were provoked." " Attacked." " It's treason." " They were all drunk." "I've also been wounded here, look." "Outside!" "Now!" "Maciste!" "Oh, how you stink!" "You've been bathing in wine, eh?" "Yes, in wine!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Poor innkeeper!" "Yes, yes, later..." "Later you can tell me everything." "Now do you get the idea." " A bath will do you good." "Let's go." " No, no, Maciste." " Now don't get me angry." " No, not in the water, no, Maciste." " Come on, come on." "You'll see." " I beg you, Maciste, no!" "You will see how much better you feel afterwards." " No, Maciste, I beg you." " Go on." " I beg you, believe me, Maciste." " Go on here." " This way, go on..." " No, not the water, Maciste!" "Maciste!" "Maciste!" "Well, Assir, what's going on?" "Don't bother about me, hurry to the inn." "Ouch... poor me." "... Poor Bango, all dirty with water." "Ah, Maciste!" "Maciste!" "Maciste my friend, they've ruined me, they've broken everything." "They've even broken my beard, my beautiful long beard." "God, I implore you, make them give me back my beard!" "They have beaten me, I am ruined!" "They cooked me like boiled ham!" "Maciste my friend, everything of mine is smashed!" "But my beard, Maciste, get me back my beard!" " Courage." " Eh, yes." " We'll find them, You'll see." " You think so?" "And they'll pay!" "In a few days you will be crowned Queen of Mersabad..." "And no other Kingdom will be able to claim such a delightful sovereign." "I meant to say..." "Splendid." "How austere." "You are dear, Ligonio, above all when you want to say something..." " And you cannot find the words." " What matters is that you understand me." "Why do you go dark and moody every time someone talks about my coronation?" "I am the head of your guards..." "And it is my sole duty to keep watch on your precious person." "Nothing else?" "Come on, tell me what you are thinking." "Go on." "I order you!" "You are too young a queen to remain alone." "Even you counsel me on marriage." "To marry Prince Oniris  Or a foreign King." "Tell me, is this what I should do?" "I do not want that." "It is the law of the state." "I know  But it is not the law of my heart." "What is that commotion?" "It must be your supporters." "All the people have come into the city for your coronation." "You come here too, don't be afraid." "And who are they?" "A group of gladiators come from Rome." "They are here to give a show in the amphitheatre during the celebrations." "Come!" "Come forwards!" "Try your strength!" "Try it!" "Try to pull apart the arms of Sidone!" "The strongest man in Rome!" "Muscles of granite, nerves of iron!" "Come on, a prize to whoever succeeds in beating him!" "He is one of my seven gladiators." "You will admire him in the amphitheatre, and see the others :" "Tucos of Numidia, Astorige," "The powerful Bruto, The gigantic Sidone." "In a few days, you will see all of them in the arena." "It will be an unforgettable spectacle!" "My gladiators will put on an exhibition for you!" "Do not miss this occasion!" "Oh!" "Maciste!" "Look, that's them!" "Enough." "Courage." "Is there anyone else?" "Come!" "Come forwards!" "Come and learn about the forbidden blows... the tricks, the hundred duels." "Ah..." "Here is another strong fellow" "Come, come." "Come and try your strength against my gladiators." "That's him who ripped my beard!" "Let me at him!" "Willingly." "Ah, at last!" "At last I've found you." "Now you must pay me!" "You must pay me, you destroyed my inn!" "You took away my beard!" "Why are you laughing, gorilla?" "Why are you laughing?" " What did you say?" " I said " gorilla"." "I said that the beard was mine!" "Coward!" "Do you want to lose those four hairs you have left?" "Maciste!" "I'm calling you, help!" "Maciste!" "I'm calling you, help!" "Maciste!" "Help!" "Help!" " Let him go." " He said "Let him go"." " Otherwise?" " Stop, Bruto." "What's going on?" "Make way." "Make way." "What is happening here?" "Nothing, nothing." "My men overdid it a bit..." "But with wine, you soon lose your head." "Here, you are compensated." "This should be enough." "Satisfied?" "Come..." "Come and admire the strongest gladiators..." " Ligonio." " Maciste!" " My friend!" " I am happy to greet you." "And I am happy to see you again." "In order to put everything right at the inn, I told them..." "I don't have my beautiful beard any more." " Without a beard, I am not a man." " Shut up!" "Hey!" "Who was it?" "Who's allowed to throw water?" "If I don't have the beard, they will call me "weakling"." " You are not a friend." " I'm not a friend?" "!" " But what are you saying?" " No, you are not a friend." " Tell me something." " Listen." "Wait..." "Now you listen..." "How much time will it be, before my beard grows again?" "How long was it?" " To the navel." "Even further." " Ah..." " What do you think?" " How old are you?" "Me?" "Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty..." " Eighty-one!" " Then you can't grow it." " Why can't I grow it?" " You just can't grow it." " But I can grow it!" " You can't grow it." "I am all iron, I am!" "Help!" " What's going on?" " I don't know, I heard some screams." "My money!" "Hey, hey, Maciste!" "Hey!" "The cloaks..." "The cloaks from the shadows..." "The cloaks..." "All my money..." "What happened?" "What happened?" " They took my money!" " Your money?" " Look what I found." "Look." " But who are you?" "I think I understand." "You go ahead, I'll watch your back." "Come on." "Well if there's something that doesn't please you, say so." "If you really want to know, I'd go back to Rome if I could." "Ah, really?" "To seek glory, eh?" "How innocent you are!" "Look!" "Look at your brother." "There's an example..." "Of one who sought glory for twenty years." "You tell him, Bruto..." "What did you gain in twenty years, other than your wounds?" "Listen, Menide, you are young..." "And your life can be different to mine." "It must be different." "This is the moment and I don't want you to lose out." "What moment?" "To kill people treacherously, is all it is!" "Would you prefer others to do it to you?" "Don't have pity, if you want to survive." "In this world, there is no place for the weak." "Listen to one who has more experience than you, boy." "Our plan is precise." "Precise in every detail." "But why are we looking for trouble?" "Shouldn't we wait for Ligonio." "It isn't necessary for you to know." "It's only necessary for you to follow the orders that you are given." "And we can be sure that they are just?" "The fact remains that we made a mistake in turning up as gladiators." "The mistake was yours at the inn." "I just left you alone for a moment, and you turned it into a disaster..." "And I had to pay." "But you see, all will go well." "No-one can suspect us." "What are we?" "Gladiators." "And what did we come to do here?" "Be gladiators." "Everyone believes that we have only come to fight in the arena." "Who could imagine our true purpose..." "Particularly now that there is all this confusion?" "Maciste, look." "They are the thieves." "Look, they are identical." "They are really identical." "They're the same." "You've got back what they took, it's not important any more." " Not important any more?" " Go on!" "Only one thing is important:" "To work with determination, as soon as the orders are given." "And by then, we will not be alone." "Tomorrow in the amphitheatre, I will choose the others, one by one..." "They will cover for us, when it happens." "And that's it, for now." "Enough!" "Enough for now!" "That's good for today." "Go and rest." "What do you want?" "What else do you want?" "I know that you are looking for young men to take on." "May I be useful?" "No." "There's no place here for someone like you." "You've already cost me enough." " You instead." " Eh?" "Me a gladiator?" " No, just to serve in the kitchen." " Ah, but I know this one." " Will you take him on too?" " No." "Why not?" "Let him come." "I think you should." "Come." "Come along." "Friends, we have with us a future gladiator." "Now you will see how capable he is." "Get up!" "Chest out!" "Head high!" "Stand straight!" " You're tired, eh?" "You want to sleep?" " You'd like that!" "He's very capable." "Step forward, Sidone!" "Prove yourself, it's easy!" "I don't understand why he's so stubborn!" "He has courage, you can say that." "He takes the blows well, but if he stays several days with us..." "His desire to be defender of the weak will pass." "Why did you do that?" "Because the life of every man is precious." "Cleopatra?" "Cleopatra!" "Let's sit down here." "Cleopatra?" "Cleopatra?" "A little bit for you." "A little bit for me." "Come on you." "Come here." "Good..." "Good, Cleopatra." "Here, come and give me some satisfaction!" "Do not be afraid to confront your master..." "I'll fight you myself, monkey-face." "On guard!" "Come on!" "Now I will tell each of you what he has to do." "The palace has three entrances..." "The least watched is the one at the stables." "We will go in there" "Astorige and Bruto, you will take care of the stable boys." "In the entrance hall, as a rule, there are four sentries." "But only one, on each shift, is awake." "We need to act with maximum care." "There will be trouble if he manages to give the alarm." "That's your job." "Tucos and Menide, you will go inside where the others sleep." "It's not difficult." "The armour has a join here on the side." "It's simple." "Otherwise, a single blow to the throat." "Then there's a staircase, a long corridor, two sentries." "That's for you, Fisio." "And then we will have a clear route towards the apartment of Talima." "In the room next to hers, sleeps the servant." "They musn't realise, even if they have to die." "Having captured the Princess..." "We will attack the soldiers of her bodyguard as a group." "We will have the advantage of surprise..." "But, for us, it will be the riskiest moment." "We are few." "Our opponents are brave, and fight well." "It will be their last battle." "Let us hope for a night like this." "An exact plan of the palace." "And the armour of our guards." "But who could get them that?" "I know." "I will go with my men into the underground caverns tonight..." " And exterminate those gladiators." " It won't be easy, Ligonio." " I don't fear them." " Then... afterwards?" "No." "The architects of the conspiracy..." "The real people in charge, remain unknown!" "We should find out who they are." "Otherwise they would be able to try again." "No, to confront the gladiators now would be a mistake." "And so we remain idle, whilst they are able to attack us when they want?" "Double the guard, and choose the best men." "It's the only thing we can do, for now." "Do you want to continue this risk?" "For you I would give my life." "After all, this concerns our country." "I thank you." "My father considered you to be his most faithful subject." "Go now." "They may notice your absence." " Resia!" "Resia!" " What is it?" "I must speak to you." "A moment." "Just a moment." "At this hour?" "What do you want?" " Were you sleeping?" " No, not yet." "Come in." "I am worried, Resia." "We are surrounded by enemies, hired by the people who hate us." " Who?" " I don't know." "I don't know." "It is certainly those who opposed our father." "I have always suspected that his death had not been accidental..." "That someone had caused the fall which killed him." "Yes, them, them!" "Always the same ones!" "They cling to those privileges that they do not know how to renounce." "Now they have recruited some mercenaries..." "They could even get rid of me." "But this time I have succeeded in obtaining proof." "I will identify the person who is truly responsible." "Who put these ideas into your mind?" "Ligonio, who sees conspiracies everywhere?" "Who is always afraid for your life?" "No." "A man whom our father respected:" "Maciste." "Listen to me, dear:" "We must separate." "If something should happen to one of us..." "At least the other will be safe." "Be careful, Resia, when I am not with you." "Even if you don't run any risks, because it is me whom they fear." "I am their enemy." "Be alert." "Be suspicious of everything." "Stay cautious." " And when would you leave?" " As soon as possible." "Tomorrow, perhaps." "I will go to the Fortress of Nadir with a small escort." "No-one must know of my departure, Resia." "Forgive me, but I needed to confide in you." " Good night." " Good night." "Damned idiots!" "They have found us out!" "Where are you going?" " I must warn them immediately." " Why do you want to do it now?" "I beg you, Oniris, renounce your scheme." " I am afraid." "Now they'll all have been discovered." " You think so?" "Your sister has been capable of governing..." "Without being too naive to believe in familial affections." "This will cost her dearly." " Oniris, stop this." "I love you." " Me too." " And now more than ever." " Wait." "You promised that you would never do anything cruel to my sister." "Remember this:" "If something should happen then..." "I will be capable of hating you." "You will not have any reason." "Why did you call me?" " There's a filthy spy amongst us." " Who?" "Come." " There." " I'll take care of him." "No." "We must go carefully, as we have been ordered." "If we kill him now, we will immediately be suspected, that's for sure." "Stay calm." "It'll be all right." "Meanwhile, here is something to make him sleep." "And then at the right moment." "Exactly." " Now we will be able to leave the city without being seen?" " Yes." "Rufo sent it." "Hey, Maciste!" "Maciste!" "Waken up!" "Get up, Maciste!" "Quickly, let's go." "And him?" "Are you bothered about leaving him here?" "No, I want to be sure." "We can't leave him alive." "Menide." "Go." "Hey!" "Maciste!" "Why are you waiting?" "He's here." "Quickly, get over there!" " Well?" " It's done." " Let's go." "Maciste!" "I beg you!" "Maciste!" "Maciste!" "Remember what I said to you." "You are the only one to know the true purpose of my journey." "Why those tears?" "Come on, don't be afraid, all will go well." "I'll return soon." "March!" "Stop!" "You go there!" "Stop." " A message for the Queen." " Give it here." "To arms, quickly!" "Follow me!" "Let's go!" "But are you not ashamed to be with such people?" "Nice friends you have!" "Hey!" "Hey, Maciste!" "You know what happened!" "Hey, Maciste, watch out!" "So you eat whilst we fight?" "The signal." " What has happened?" " A landslide." "Hurry you." "Give a hand." "Clear the road." "Talima..." "Talima..." "Now you know who gives the orders." "That's how we pay those who don't obey." "Your task is not ended..." "As long as Maciste is alive." "How is he?" "They abducted her." "They abducted her." "Poor Talima." "Who knows what happened to her." "Open up!" "Open up!" "It's me, Bango!" "The City is in the hands of Oniris." "And Princess Resia?" "Resia..." "Resia is his accomplice." "Our sovereign, the beloved Princess Talima..." "Was killed." "The bandits who attacked and slaughtered the soldiers in her escort..." "Were commanded by Maciste." "Whoever gives him help or shelter..." "Whoever wishes to protect him..." "Will be punished with the confiscation of their assets and with death." "Those who remain faithful to the memory of our Queen..." "Will avenge her." "I have proposed an engagement to the future sovereign of Mersabad..." "And I would not feel worthy of the esteem she has shown to me..." "In granting me her hand, if I did not succeed in exterminating all those..." "Who are stained by such an infamous deed." "Maciste will be first!" "I promise you!" "Forwards!" "You will pay with your life, for giving shelter to Maciste." "No!" "I beg you!" "Not them!" "Kill them!" "Speak!" " I don't know anything." " Speak, carrion!" "So, where is the rebel?" "Where is he hiding?" "Speak!" "Damned assassins..." "They kill, they massacre, they murder..." "Hey!" "No!" "Not the beard!" "Leave me the beard!" "Assassins, criminals!" "Where is Maciste?" "Where is he?" "Hey, you, shepherd!" "Have you seen anyone passing through these parts?" "Hey!" "Take away his sheep." "All of them!" "So you still won't speak, eh?" "Where is Maciste?" "Are you looking for me?" "You'll regret having found me!" "Forwards!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "But who is that?" "Well, who is it?" "Where have you taken Talima?" "Speak!" "Come on, where have you taken her?" "Where have you hidden her?" "In the tower, on the river." "Stop." "Hey!" "Hey, Maciste!" "Look, there's Cleopatra!" " I've an idea." " Ligonio, over there." "You two, quickly." "Hey!" "Hey, Cleopatra!" "Cleopatra, hey!" "Come down." "Cleopatra, come down!" "Hey!" "Look what I've got for you." "Come!" "Come!" "Come down!" "Quickly, come down!" "Stop." "The rope, excellent." "Come down now." "Come on!" "Well done, Cleopatra." "Come on, hurry, come on!" "Cleopatra?" "Cleopatra?" "Cleopatra?" "Go, go, go!" "Yes!" "Talima!" "And where is Talima?" "Where is she now?" "Where have you hidden her, now that you've taken her from the tower?" "Why don't you answer?" "Your sister is alive." "No, it isn't true." "Now I don't believe you any more." "You have killed her!" "Your promises were all lies." "You used me." "I believed your love..." "Your words." " I betrayed her." " I tell you she's alive." " I want to see her!" " At the right moment." "Immediately!" "Otherwise I'll scream the truth to everyone." "I'll unmask you!" "Even if it should cost me my life." "Come on then." "Let's go to Talima." " What are you doing?" " Taking you to Talima." "Don't you want to see her?" "Are you afraid now?" "Have courage, stop demonstrating how insignificant you are." "I escaped only because he believed that I had drowned." "And your men?" "They couldn't help me, they were attacked by the peasants." " Were there many?" " I don't know." "I only thought of saving myself from his wild rage." "At times, fear makes ugly jokes." "If it touches you, you will know about it." "He is a strong man." "He could have killed me, like I can kill you!" "Now more than ever, we should remain united." "Our task will end with the coronation of the Queen." "Know this:" "Afterwards, we will return to our homes covered in gold." "I assure you." "Hey, you!" "Open up!" "Go on." "Do you believe me, now?" " Resia!" " Talima!" "Your sister Talima is safe." "I respected our agreement." "Only neither of us two expected that such riff-raff..." "Had been hired to fight for us." "Don't listen to him, Talima." "Don't listen to him!" "Why do you want to hide the truth?" "It's good that you know how love can change someone." "I implore you, Talima, do not despise me." "She doesn't despise you." "She is disgusted." "Be silent!" "Be silent!" "I order you!" "So you think that you are already the Queen?" "Look at her." "Look at her well!" "I will still spare your sister..." "But her life depends on you." "On you alone!" "Be careful what you do." " Otherwise I will have no pity." " Talima!" "I hate you!" "Talima..." "Talima, forgive me..." "Forgive me!" "I beg you..." " What's up?" "Are you feeling ill?" " No, no." "It's the heat." " Do you want a drink?" " No." " Are you alone?" " No, no." "With him." " But he's old." " What?" "I have no racial prejudice." "To me, black women have always looked attractive!" " Listen..." " No, not here." " Well?" " You have been sent by the Gods, Ligonio." "Princess Resia wants to tell you, that whatever you have in mind to do..." "Above all, save Queen Talima." "Her life is in danger." " Where is she?" " She's held in the prisons of the Palace." "Save her, quickly!" "After the spectacle of the chariots..." "Bruto and Tucos will fight in your honour." "Let's go and amuse the new Queen." "This is actually the last time, Bruto." "Then we can go home." "We hope." "It was for this that Menide, Arminio and Rufo sold their skins." "And why are you upset?" "The share that was theirs will be divided amongst us." "Don't forget that Menide was my brother." " Sorry, I did not wish to offend you." " I know, I know." "Bruto, I warn you, now that we meet in the arena." "Be calm." "Even I am sick and tired of fake fights." "I'll let you win immediately, all right." "Forgive me for not being able to protect you." "I knew..." "That you would free me." "Let's go now." "Bruto, it's us now!" "Let's do it!" "But what are you doing, are you crazy?" "Defend yourself!" "You also want my share?" "Well then, I'll have yours." "Coward!" "I accuse you in front of the populace of having ordered the conspiracy..." "Of having usurped power, of having trampled on freedom..." "Of having ordered the abduction of our legitimate sovereign!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Long live Maciste!" "Forgive me, Talima." "The people of Mersabad..." "Must judge you." "The joy of knowing that you live strengthens me against whatever they decide." "I forgive you, Resia." "Justly, they applaud you." "We will always remember you." "And your name will become legend." "I have only fulfilled my duty as a faithful subject..." "Serving you and my people." "ENGLISH SUBTITLES BY MGE;-)"
