Screenplay: Gladiator

After Commodus leaves the arena, feeling humilliated and ashamed of himself, he goes inside and talks to one of his advisers to find a way to solve this problem...

Commodus: I can't believe what they made me do... I would've killed him right there!

Adviser: But Sir... You did what you had to do to avoid everyone hating you or even doing a rebellion for killing their "hero".

Commodus: I know... But it made me look weak, it made them realize they could control me.

Adviser: Don't worry about that, they haven't done anything yet and they won't...

Commodus: I already know that but how can I make them respect me? They should fear me, I can kill them if I want... But today they were controlling me, that's not how Rome works! The Emperor controlling the people is the right thing...

Adviser: You can't kill him, that would just make everyone angry, it can compromise your life, if you want to do something, you must set it up so it looks like something you didn't plan, an "accident", maybe a battle between slaves where you order everyone to kill him, he will die in battle and no one will know you planned it.

Commodus: Actually... It is a good plan, I just need to set things up and I wouldn't have to kill him... No one will think it was me... So there will be no rebellion, great idea... I will start planning everything right now so it is done as soon as possible.

Commodus leaves.
