Due to their lack of decisive power, Zafar instructs Cestvs and his companions to train all day every day by digging with pickaxes. Though his companions complain, Cestvs regards Zafar's word as his only ray of hope and continues digging. Meanwhile, a pair of messengers arrive to announce a fighting tournament held by the emperor. Emperor Nero himself has ordered that Cestvs participate. He seems to be unable to escape him... With indescribable uncertainty in his heart, Cestvs participates in the qualifier in order to win his freedom. However, the arena is a wooden structure resembling a run-down cage.
After all that work,
I can't even hold a spoon.
لا أستطيع الإمساك حتّى بملعقة
بعد كلّ ذاك العمل
Nach der Arbeit kann ich
kaum noch den Löffel halten.
No puedo ni sostener una cuchara
después de trabajar.
No puedo ni agarrar una cuchara
después de trabajar.
Après le travail, je peux même plus
tenir une cuillère.
Abbiamo lavorato così tanto da non poter più
tenere neanche un cucchiaio in mano.
Depois desse trabalho, não consigo
nem segurar uma colher.
После работы я ложку толком
 держать не могу.
