: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?
:14:01
As we all know, when the father
of both Ptolemy and Cleopatra died...
:14:05
...he named the two of them
to rule jointly over Egypt.
:14:09
Rome was appointed their guardian
and the executor of his will.
:14:13
I have come in the name of Rome to ask
why Cleopatra has been deposed...
:14:17
...to resolve the differences
between her and IKing Ptolemy...
:14:21
...and to see that they peacefully
resume their joint rule of Egypt.
:14:25
That will be difficult.
Cleopatra has forfeited her right.
:14:29
I shall try to decide justly.
:14:31
Don't you see he'll send for her?
He'll bring her back!
:14:34
The sun which sheds its grace
upon the ruler of the two lands...
:14:38
...burns too brightly perhaps.
:14:40
If Lord Ptolemy wishes to retire...
:14:42
I wish nothing of the kind!
:14:44
I won't be put out of the way
until I've watched you give him that!
:14:50
A thousand pardons,
I had almost forgotten.
:14:53
Lord Ptolemy wishes to enhance his
welcome by a gift of some importance.
:14:58
Most generous.
