:05:01
Death's one inch from your heart,
one little push on the dagger.

:05:05
Shall l, Claudius?
:05:07
lf you do, sire, my knees will stop shaking,...
:05:10
..l will not sweat any more.
:05:12
l won't be half as amusing dead as l am alive.
:05:16
The question is: are you alive?
:05:20
Would you say so, Messalina?
:05:22
As his wife, you're in
the best position to know.

:05:26
My devotion to my husband
is well known, sire.

:05:29
lt's the talk of the Forum.
:05:31
And your devotion to your emperor?
:05:35
Your wife is truly beautiful, Uncle.
:05:39
Except for her ears.
:05:41
They're shaped like keyholes.
:05:45
Who are your spies at court?
:05:48
Never mind. l'll find out.
:05:57
Suppose it were true. Suppose this Jesus
had found the secret of eternal life.

:06:02
lt's only superstition, sire.
Philosophers have disproved the idea...

:06:05
Philosophers! Their brains are full of mildew!
:06:12
l have the power of life and death
over every being in the empire.

:06:15
My power is as great as any god's. True?
:06:18
- True, sire.
- Then why should l have to die?

:06:22
Why should l have to suffer death
like any plebeian, any slave?

:06:26
- ls that logical? ls it?
- No, sire.

:06:32
Perhaps there was a spell.
:06:35
A spell to make one immortal.
:06:38
Like a god.
:06:40
What have you found out about the robe?
:06:43
- The robe?
- Yes. The robe.

:06:45
The robe of this Jesus.
:06:47
Tribune Gallio was carrying it
at his trial today. Where is it?

:06:51
The lady Diana gave it to a slave
as she left the hall.

:06:54
She said something about it
being for the fisherman.

:06:57
Fisherman.
:06:59
Yes, that fits.
