100:02:49,036 --> 00:02:51,368Welco

1
00:02:49,036 --> 00:02:51,368
Welcome to Alexandria, Caesar

2
00:02:51,605 --> 00:02:53,095
King Ptolemy awaits you

3
00:03:35,749 --> 00:03:37,239
How old are you?

4
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:41,416
How old are you?

5
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:44,320
Old enough to rule, Caesar

6
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:48,319
Twelve

7
00:03:49,163 --> 00:03:50,653
Twelve

8
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:57,935
I am old enough to rule

9
00:03:59,273 --> 00:04:00,297
And you are?

10
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,572
I am Arsinoe, Queen of Egypt

11
00:04:02,843 --> 00:04:03,969
Not according to your father

12
00:04:04,311 --> 00:04:05,300
My father's dead

13
00:04:05,646 --> 00:04:07,978
But he paid his debts to Rome, Arsinoe

14
00:04:08,249 --> 00:04:11,013
Caesar, if I may explain

15
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:13,915
Who is this man?

16
00:04:14,255 --> 00:04:15,381
Pothinus

17
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:18,089
The king's prime minister

18
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:21,293
Later

19
00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:25,893
Where is your eldest sister?

20
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:28,532
Cleopatra has left the country

21
00:04:28,836 --> 00:04:30,201
Yes

22
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:37,097
Do you have our money?

23
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:42,102
Cleopatra's scheming has brought
our country to its knees

24
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:46,010
Under the present circumstances
unfortunately,

25
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:48,744
we are unable to pay our debt to Rome

26
00:04:49,089 --> 00:04:51,353
That is no problem, I'll simply take it

27
00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:52,648
Great Caesar

28
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,325
Go on

29
00:04:55,596 --> 00:04:59,953
If you were to support Arsinoe
as Queen...

30
00:05:00,401 --> 00:05:03,290
I will ensure the peace and prosperity
of this nation

31
00:05:03,604 --> 00:05:04,263
Caesar

32
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:06,063
Where is your army?

33
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:08,869
Pelusium

34
00:05:10,444 --> 00:05:13,299
Oh... defending Egypt from Cleopatra?

35
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:16,180
She must be very dangerous to you

36
00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:22,978
I'd like to meet this girl
who calls herself a goddess

37
00:05:35,336 --> 00:05:36,291
Come with me

38
00:05:36,537 --> 00:05:37,595
Who are you?

39
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:39,798
I'm Olympos, the Queen's physician
Quickly!

40
00:05:57,858 --> 00:06:00,691
Olympos, this woman, she's a whore!

41
00:06:01,128 --> 00:06:02,652
So I'm told, Mardian

42
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:04,590
Come

43
00:06:08,202 --> 00:06:09,567
What is your name?

44
00:06:10,137 --> 00:06:12,196
Jehosheba, Your Majesty

45
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:19,270
I'm told you're the most accomplished
courtesan of Ashkelon

46
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:24,105
I want a man to fall in love with me

47
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:26,312
I see...

48
00:06:27,154 --> 00:06:29,520
but there is so much to tell...

49
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,523
Is there an art to it?

50
00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:37,920
To making love?

51
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:40,795
Oh yes

52
00:06:42,169 --> 00:06:44,933
Men like to be touched

53
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:48,929
But every man is different

54
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:55,645
This man is a conqueror

55
00:06:58,652 --> 00:07:02,679
Such a man is easy to take to bed

56
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:06,953
but it is harder to hold his interest

57
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:12,357
You must always make him believe
no matter how much you've given him

58
00:07:12,733 --> 00:07:15,657
there is still more to conquer

59
00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:38,882
Remarkable, isn't it?

60
00:07:39,927 --> 00:07:40,916
It is, indeed

61
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:44,219
They say you can see
the beam thirty miles out to see

62
00:07:47,835 --> 00:07:49,496
What news on Ptolemy's army?

63
00:07:49,837 --> 00:07:52,601
They haven't moved, still at the border,
guarding against Cleopatra

64
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:53,828
How many men?

65
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:55,199
Twenty thousand

66
00:07:55,542 --> 00:07:58,102
If they turn on us, we'll be outnumbered
five to one

67
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:00,237
Hail Caesar

68
00:08:00,581 --> 00:08:01,479
Ahenobarbus

69
00:08:01,782 --> 00:08:03,147
We've loaded six ships with grain

70
00:08:03,217 --> 00:08:05,640
Good, that'll be enough to cover
Ptolemy's debt to us for the moment

71
00:08:06,186 --> 00:08:08,347
We don't want the people to starve

72
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:10,554
Most of the grain has been taken
by the Royal Army...

73
00:08:10,891 --> 00:08:12,552
for its war against Cleopatra

74
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,782
What's left is being plundered

75
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:17,255
Bring me the Royal Storemaster

76
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:20,054
Mighty Caesar, you must believe me!

77
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,561
I had no part in stealing that grain!

78
00:08:24,705 --> 00:08:25,763
Execute him

79
00:08:26,306 --> 00:08:30,094
No, no please! I can return it!

80
00:08:30,444 --> 00:08:33,072
It was Pothinus! It was Pothinus!

81
00:08:34,114 --> 00:08:37,470
Pothinus! He's probably selling it
to our enemies in the East

82
00:08:37,818 --> 00:08:39,410
Pity one cannot castrate a eunuch

83
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:42,182
What is going on out there?

84
00:08:50,531 --> 00:08:51,520
I'm sorry, Imperator,

85
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,593
but this man says he has a gift for you

86
00:08:53,934 --> 00:08:55,697
A beautiful rug, Sire!

87
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,301
From Queen Cleopatra

88
00:08:57,638 --> 00:08:59,299
From Cleopatra?

89
00:08:59,973 --> 00:09:01,065
Leave it there

90
00:09:01,408 --> 00:09:03,330
But you haven't examined it yet!

91
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:04,871
Tomorrow

92
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:06,436
But your Majesty... I mean, Sire!

93
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:12,468
Queen Cleopatra insisted
I unroll it in your presence! At once!

94
00:09:15,489 --> 00:09:16,751
Then do so

95
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,958
How many men do we have
guarding the harbor?

96
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:24,060
Two centuries

97
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:25,660
Triple them

98
00:09:25,999 --> 00:09:27,762
We musn't lose control of the port

99
00:09:29,303 --> 00:09:31,100
Position them,

100
00:09:32,439 --> 00:09:34,498
here, and here

101
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:42,404
If they attack,
the harbor is the only way out

102
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:46,742
You're very young to be a goddess

103
00:10:50,017 --> 00:10:52,383
I am the daughter of Isis

104
00:10:59,292 --> 00:11:00,919
Cleopatra

105
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:03,389
Caesar

106
00:11:11,972 --> 00:11:14,497
And what brings you to Caesar?

107
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,801
My father was a loyal ally to Rome,

108
00:11:19,146 --> 00:11:21,307
and it was me he crowned
before he died

109
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:24,940
I am the true ruler of Egypt

110
00:11:25,686 --> 00:11:27,916
Your sister thinks differently

111
00:11:28,889 --> 00:11:30,845
Arsinoe is a liar

112
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:32,848
And young Ptolemy?

113
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:38,120
A witless boy who's being manipulated
by a deceitful regent

114
00:11:38,899 --> 00:11:41,459
It's in your interest to set things right

115
00:11:41,802 --> 00:11:44,464
And why should I choose you over them?

116
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:47,237
I am my father's successor

117
00:11:47,674 --> 00:11:50,336
The people know this,
they will support me

118
00:11:50,677 --> 00:11:53,441
The people! The people
would be quite happy to see you...

119
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,874
and every last member of this dynasty
fed to the crocodiles of the Nile

120
00:11:59,753 --> 00:12:03,018
I'm tired, I'm sure you must be too

121
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:08,584
You should go to bed now

122
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:11,927
Where?

123
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:17,923
Once it's known I'm in the palace,
my family will have me killed

124
00:12:22,142 --> 00:12:28,035
There is only one bed that's safe for me
yours

125
00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:37,316
I don't think that would be prudent

126
00:12:37,657 --> 00:12:41,013
Caesar is not known for his prudence,

127
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:47,256
but for his boldness

128
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:30,706
This is not necessary

129
00:13:32,045 --> 00:13:34,741
It will not affect my power of decision

130
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:44,308
I never touch a woman
who doesn't wish me to

131
00:13:47,294 --> 00:13:49,558
Nor will you tonight

132
00:14:04,845 --> 00:14:06,335
You're trembling

133
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:09,802
Are you afraid of me?

134
00:14:10,417 --> 00:14:14,774
No, I fear no one

135
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:20,219
You've never done this before,
have you?

136
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:06,060
Who are you, Cleopatra?

137
00:15:08,008 --> 00:15:10,374
Are you someone I can trust?

138
00:15:13,013 --> 00:15:15,106
I am Egypt

139
00:15:16,816 --> 00:15:19,307
And Egypt is yours,

140
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,886
for one night only

141
00:16:00,093 --> 00:16:01,390
We must take immediate steps...

142
00:16:01,695 --> 00:16:03,651
to restore the peoples' confidence
in their leaders

143
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:06,157
Or Egypt will plunge into anarchy

144
00:16:07,834 --> 00:16:08,960
Agreed?

145
00:16:09,703 --> 00:16:10,863
Certainly

146
00:16:11,204 --> 00:16:13,764
And what better way to achieve
this stability

147
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:17,998
than for Caesar to proclaim
Arsinoe and Ptolemy...

148
00:16:27,253 --> 00:16:29,084
What is she doing here?

149
00:16:29,422 --> 00:16:31,287
She came in to see me last night

150
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,614
We had an interesting... conversation

151
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,020
I'm surprised that Great Caesar would
discuss anything with Egypt's enemy!

152
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:39,489
He was eager to learn the truth

153
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,324
how you and Pothinus conspired
to get rid of me,

154
00:16:44,037 --> 00:16:46,801
how you poisoned our brother's thoughts
against me!

155
00:16:47,073 --> 00:16:48,301
Poisoned his thoughts?

156
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:51,032
There was no need for
