:33:00
An intruder! A man!
:33:05
Oh, it's you.
:33:08
You wanted to see me?
:33:11
I summoned you yesterday...
:33:14
...to an audience in my throne room.
:33:16
I was told I was not
permitted to go there.

:33:20
It's too close to the quarters
occupied by your brother and the rest.

:33:24
I will not be told where
I can go and where I cannot go!

:33:28
Since there's nothing you want...
:33:30
Except my throne!
:33:36
At least you've dressed
properly for my presence.

:33:40
Your best armor?
:33:41
Almost, but I'm afraid
it's not being worn in your honor.

:33:46
I know.
:33:48
This morning, you paid a formal
visit to the tomb of Alexander.

:33:53
You remained alone beside
the sarcophagus for some time.

:33:57
I'd like to know
how you know.

:33:59
Just staring down at him.
:34:03
And then you cried.
:34:06
Why did you cry, Caesar?
:34:10
That man recites beautifully.
:34:12
- Is he blind?
- Don't you hurt him.

:34:14
I won't. Not anyone
who speaks Catullus so well.

:34:18
Catullus doesn't approve of you.
Why haven't you had him killed?

:34:21
Because I approve of him.
:34:24
"My desire to please you,
Caesar, is very slight

:34:27
Nor do I greatly care to know
If you are black or white."

:34:30
Achillas is moving
his entire army to Alexandria.

:34:34
By tonight, he'll outnumber you
20-to-1, 30-to-1.

:34:38
He'll have the royal enclosure
entirely surrounded.

:34:42
Except to the sea.
:34:44
Do you plan to sail away,
great Caesar?

:34:47
Not for the time being.
:34:49
Achillas may attack tomorrow,
the next day...

:34:52
...whenever it suits him!
- Very probable.

:34:55
In your wildest dreams, Caesar,
how can you possibly hope to hold...

:34:59
...the gates of this enclosure
against such odds?
