00:00What if the only way to survive was to kill the one person who ever truly saw you?

00:07In ancient Rome, glory echoed through marble coliseums, but beneath the roar was silence.

00:14The kind of silence that lives inside a man who's about to kill his brother.

00:19I wasn't born a warrior, I was a farmer, but Rome doesn't care who you were.

00:24It only wants your blood?

00:26We trained together, bled together, laughed between bruises, they called us the twins.

00:33Not because we looked alike, but because we moved as one.

00:37But the arena? The arena loves drama, so one day, they handed us a scroll, our names.

00:43Side by side, opponents.

00:45That night, we didn't speak.

00:48What do you say to someone you might have to kill?

00:50The next morning, the gates opened, the sun burned, the crowd roared.

00:56Cassius walked out without his helmet.

01:01He wanted them to see his face.

01:03He wanted me to see his eyes.

01:06The horn blew.

01:07He charged.

01:08I blocked.

01:09Again.

01:10Again.

01:10Then, he dropped his shield.

01:14One of us has to make it out, he whispered.

01:17Make it count.

01:18I did what I had to do.

01:20The blade sank in.

01:22He held me like a brother.

01:23As he died, they called me champion.

01:26But I only saw his eyes.

01:28Wide.

01:29Forgiving.

01:30Fading.

01:31I earned my freedom years later.

01:33People ask me how it felt.

01:35To win.

01:37I tell them.

01:38The arena doesn't care who you are.

01:40Only how loud you die.

01:42Iㅋ

01:43To win...

01:44Your way!

01:45Yes, sit below and watch.

01:47I will never forget.

01:47Amanpou.

01:48Get ready.

01:49To win.

01:49Don't go down, baby.
