: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.
:07:01
One of their leaders is called the fisherman.
:07:04
You're observant, Messalina.
lt may please me to reward you.
:07:09
l wouldn't let her sleep alone, Uncle.
:07:11
No one in this palace can be trusted.
:07:16
(Caligula) Prefect! Prefect of the guard!
:07:19
He's calling for his guards
to find him the robe to bring him eternal life.
:07:23
- He's mad.
- No.
:07:25
Quite logical, when you consider that
most of the emperors go more or less mad.
:07:29
Every emperor stakes his life
on the loyalty of the Praetorian Guards.
:07:33
So if they can keep him alive at all,
why not for ever?
:07:36
He nearly killed you.
:07:37
Men do not kill what they despise.
Only what they fear.
:07:42
Why don'tyou send for a slave to do that?
:07:45
Or do you enjoy being on your knees?
:07:47
With a tyrant, it's better to live on your knees
than stand erect and be killed.
:07:52
And you have the blood
of the Caesars in you.
:07:55
Rome was full of heroes once.
:07:59
They're all dead...
