Separate Paths

Spartacus: War of the Damned

Season 3 Episode 8

& Crixus: We cannot run for an eternity. One day soon we will once again have to stand and fight.
    Spartacus: One day.

& Spartacus: We cannot turn from any slave wishing freedom.
    Agron: Then let her be free to starve with the rest of us.

& Crixus: The child is born into a life of piss and shit.
    Naevia: He is free.

& Crixus: Crassus’ army pushes from the south. If we were to turn west we would be at the gates of Rome before his legions could turn to defend the city.
    Spartacus: You would strike at Rome itself?
    Crixus: And would see it tremble.

& Crixus: Do you really believe that Crassus will stop once you crest the mountains? That the Republic will let us quietly slip away? We have shown them vulnerable. We have shown them that a trembling hand can become a fist. We have challenged the idea that a slave must always know his place, accepting rod and lash because he was taught to accept it. We built their mighty Republic! With our hands and our blood and our lives. And we can see it fall, at equal cost. You opened my eyes to this, Spartacus... Do not ask me now to close them.

& Spartacus: It was simpler between us. When the bond stood only as hate.
    Crixus: Those days are sadly past.

& Spartacus: It is a wonder. We have not yet killed each other. Would that we could reverse the years, towards better footing.
    Crixus: I would not see it different. We have done the impossible.

& Spartacus: Batiatus once warned me that a man must accept his fate...
    Crixus: ...or will be destroyed by it. The fucking cunt said that to everyone.

& Caesar: You cannot take my life and see my body from encampment absent notice. I am Julius Fucking Caesar...
Ω I’d rather you did not say that.
