Code Blue


From the movie Gladiator

As Maximus stands unsteadily to his feet, the vision comes to him once again, this time more clearly than before.  His wife and son are there.  As he loses consciousness, he falls to the ground.  From out of the stadium comes Lucilla.  She runs into the arena and drops to his side and calls his name.

Maximus’ eyes open and looks up at her and in a whispered voice asks, “Lucius is safe?”

Lucilla gives him a reassuring nod.  At peace now, his eyes close and the light slowly fades.  Lucillia, sensing that death is near, urges him to “Go to them.”  With his face calm and at rest, the gladiator takes his last breath.
