Batiatus, a dangerously ambitious lanista (gladiator owner) played with Shakespearean sleaze by John Hannah, promises Spartacus that if he fights well and wins his freedom, he will be reunited with Sura.

For seven episodes, Spartacus is a broken man, trained by the legendary Doctore (Peter Mensah) and forced into a bitter rivalry with (Manu Bennett), the undefeated champion of Capua. The middle episodes are a masterclass in psychological torture, as Spartacus is manipulated into killing his friends (like the noble Varro) for the entertainment of Roman elites.
