1:16:03
You didn't tell me she was back in Rome,
or didn'tyou know it?
1:16:13
Stop there. Search her.
1:16:19
lt pleases you to question my loyalty, sire.
1:16:22
l've come to give you new proof of it.
1:16:25
lt must have been an irresistible impulse
to bring you from the seashore at this hour.
1:16:29
- l think you'll agree it's important.
- Speak up.
1:16:32
l have no secrets from your husband.
1:16:34
My news concerns the robe. The magic robe.
1:16:38
Yes, yes, l remember. Have you got it?
1:16:41
l know howto get it.
1:16:42
The man who owns it, the one who calls
himself the fisherman, is back in Rome.
1:16:47
Sometimes, Uncle, l think l made
a mistake not to marry her myself.
1:16:51
The workings of her mind appeal to me.
1:16:53
She leaves her warm bed in the cold dawn
to rush here full of zeal and loyalty.
1:16:59
Why, Messalina?
1:17:01
The robe, sire, holds the secret of eternal life.
1:17:04
Seize this fisherman. He's dangerous
to you, a threat to your power.
1:17:08
Dangerous to me...
1:17:10
..or to you?
1:17:12
Has this fisherman been making
trouble for you with your lover?
1:17:16
Of course.
You're not interested in the robe for me.
1:17:19
You want to get rid of the fisherman.
1:17:23
And you! Why didn'tyou bring me this news?
1:17:26
This fisherman comes and goes as he pleases
making fools of the whole Praetorian Guard.
1:17:30
l want the robe. And l want it today!
1:17:34
l'll do my best, sire,
but the Christians will protect their leader.
1:17:37
They'll hide him and the robe of their king.
lt may take more than one day.
1:17:41
l didn't ask you for excuses!
1:17:45
Get me the robe! Take hostages! Kill them!
1:17:48
Torture them by the hundred till they agree
to give it up! You'll find one that will talk.
1:17:53
Wait.
1:17:55
There's one tribune who has
special qualifications for this duty,...
1:17:58
..who knows their leaders, their hiding places.
