:12:00
Why aren't they doing
what you said they'd do?
:12:03
Your king has asked a question,
Lord Chamberlain.
:12:07
The Romans have degenerated minds,
Most High Majesty.
:12:10
They do the unexpected.
:12:13
Particularly one Roman.
:12:16
Master of the unexpected.
:12:18
But with so few men.
:12:28
You all look so impressive.
:12:30
Any one of you could be king.
:12:32
His Divine Majesty, my Lord Ptolemy...
:12:34
...lord of the Upper
and Lower regions...
:12:37
...son of Ra, of Horus and of Thoth,
beloved of...
:12:40
Et cetera, et cetera. You welcome me.
:12:42
And I, Gaius Julius Caesar,
Pontifex Maximus...
:12:46
...et cetera, et cetera, thank you.
:12:48
From the Senate and people
of Rome, hail IKing Ptolemy.
:12:51
And his sister and co-ruler,
Queen Cleopatra?
:12:55
They won't tell you so,
but Cleopatra's dead.
:12:59
She tried to kill me,
and we chased her into the desert.
:13:02
And there she died.
:13:04
Whereas it is true
that His Majesty's sister...
:13:07
...repeatedly plotted
to have him killed...
:13:10
...it is not true
that Cleopatra is dead.
:13:12
Whereas it is true that she
fled from Alexandria...
:13:15
I seem to always interrupt you...
:13:17
...but the search for truth
can go on and on.
:13:20
Pothinus, is it not?
:13:22
Lord Chamberlain and chief eunuch
to IKing Ptolemy. An exalted rank.
:13:25
Obtained not without certain,
shall we say, sacrifice.
:13:30
Theodotus, am I right?
:13:32
Tutor to His Majesty in history,
philosophy and ambition.
:13:36
And Achillas.
They say you're a good soldier.
:13:39
- As one to another, where is Cleopatra?
- With her army.
:13:42
And how many of your men
between her and Alexandria?
:13:45
- Enough.
- May I speak?
:13:48
Surely you have come in peace.
:13:50
And we present ourselves to you
in warm and respectful welcome.
:13:55
Our only problem being an
internal one, of concern only to us...
:13:59
...why have you come, Caesar?
