Do you knowthese objects?
:47:20
Yes. They're my uncle and my cousin.
:47:22
They made an attempt on my life.
What should be done with them?

:47:27
- The penalty for such a crime is death.
- You have sentenced them.

:47:31
Macro, take them out.
:47:37
Sire, l claim my right of trial
before the Senate.

:47:40
You've had your trial!
:47:42
Let their heads be hung
in the Senate House as a reminder.

:47:45
Go.
:47:54
They said that l must die because
l aspire to be a god, because l'm mad.

:47:59
- Butyou knew about their plan, didn'tyou?
- No, sire.

:48:02
Don't lie to me!
l've heard who put them up to it.

:48:05
There isn't a man in Rome who'd dare.
Butyou'd dare, Messalina.

:48:08
You'd dare anything. Deny it!
:48:11
- Deny it, l said!
- Sire, l didn't!

:48:13
l'll give you witnesses to your treachery.
You, you'll swear she's guilty.

:48:17
- Yes, sire.
- And you! And you! And you!

:48:20
You hear?

l deny nothing, sire. But what l said
was falsely reported to you.

:48:26
Do you deny saying that l aspire to be a god?
:48:29
l said you are a god.
:48:32
lsis herself revealed it to me in the temple.
:48:36
lsis?
:48:38
That l'm a god?
:48:40
She said the gods themselves
look upon you as one of them.

:48:43
l spoke of this wonder in the court, but
your faithful courtiers laughed in my face,...

:48:48
- ..the same who have accused me.
- ls this true?

:48:51
- ls it true?
- (all) No, sire.

:48:53
Liars! Traitors!
:48:56
So, you deny that l am a god.
:48:59
l'll hang your heads in the Senate House!
l'll have you torn to pieces!
