Italian term or phrase: Prima o poi mi libereró e allora la mia ira si abatterá su di te.

Frammento di un copione cinematografico. Una persona sta posando per un quadro, con delle manette alle mani. Un'altra persona le fa una battuta un po' ironica, alla quale questa risponde con questa frase " Prima o poi mi libereró e allora la mia ira si abatterá su di te". Nel copione, accanto al nome del personaggio tra parentesi é scritto "in latino". Pertanto deduco che si tratti di una citazione famosa in latino, ma non riesco a trovarla e so che é una frase famosa, ma non mi viene in mente nulla. Help!!! Grazie!
