The Egyptian Page #2

Synopsis: In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the larger canvas of the turbulent events of the 18th dynasty. As Sinuhe is drawn into court intrigues, and bizarre secrets are revealed to him, he learns the answers to the questions he has sought since his birth. Short on historical accuracy but strong on plot and characterization.

I told you this before.

I do not need protection.

I myself will bring you to the Skin

a lion when he comes.

Suppose the lion bring your skin ...

What happens to me?

Find another love to steal,

who has more money.

Sinuhe, please

be careful.

To pay for our spending.

That you will be favored.

So come on, before

it changes your mind!

That's how I lost my eye,

hunting lions.

That son of a manufacturer of cheese ......

Why not rushed, crazy?

Was almost dead!

Be quiet.

God is coming.

What is he talking about?

He said that God is coming.

Which god?

He's coming. Aton!

Aton?

Look!

He worships the face of the sun.

Thy dawning is beautiful

the horizon of heaven.

Oh, faithful Aton

beginning life ...

What's wrong with him?

He is with the sacred disease.

At least I can avoid

he bite his tongue.

We can not leave it here ..

we will take you to the city.

Arrest them!

What's wrong? What did we do?

Will know in time.

Put the chains on them.

For two days we were held

without knowing the reason for arrest.

Finally, escorted us

to the royal palace.

Silence.

Knees.

Our new Pharaoh is coming!

On his knees before the living God.

That which we call

Pharaoh is the fool ...

We will lose our heads about it.

Princess, come here ...

Mighty Pharaoh king of Lower

and Upper Egypt ...

Princess!

Look, Dad.

Silence, his father is busy.

But I want him to see

my new monkey.

Not now, daughter.

Sit back, princess.

Mighty Pharaoh king of Lower

and Upper Egypt.

Son of the Sun

It has legs.

Stand up.

Tickle me more,

if any arise.

My heart is grieving,

because of the death of my father.

Let's finish our business,

as soon as possible.

The Embassies and Hati Kush ...

hereby presents respects to

new Pharaoh.

- They bring gifts ...

- Later.

I want to see the two

prisoners who spoke.

Here?

Yes, your majesty.

Gather round ...

Kneeling!

Stand!

Why do these men have been arrested

without trial?

Their crime is a sacrilege,

majesty ...

They put their hands in

sacred person of Pharaoh.

Sinuhe, a physician,

Semut son.

Horemheb, the son of a

manufacturer of cheese.

Gather round.

For a manufacturer of cheese

he has to look bold.

the other, the doctor ...

note in their faces.

He is the son of Semut?

I heard of his work

among the poor.

Come closer.

He must die:

put his hands on the Lord.

I know.

Was to help me.

The law makes no such distinction, your majesty!

I have the power to

change the law?

There is no limit to

the power of the Pharaoh!

The law is changed!

I name my doctor's palace.

I am deeply grateful

but I can not accept such an honor.

Why not?

I swore to serve the poor.

Because of his father?

By him and

other reasons.

Semut not my real father.

My real parents are

have been very poor ...

because when baby

was found in a boat

reed on the Nile

And never knew who his parents were?

Maybe they were bird hunters.

The boat was moored

with us hunters of birds,

We as a hunter? Told us

Hunter?

Yes!

Why do you ask, Mom?

Curiosity, my son.

You can honor its promise

Sinuhe and serve the poor.

But with the condition that they commit

to come to the palace ...

Whenever I, or my

family we need you.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

This is not another healer,

the son of a manufacturer of cheese.

He desecrated the Pharaoh

with his touch.

Majesty, may I speak?

Contact.

Horemheb saved his life

killing the lion.

What is your wish?

Leave my drink the blood sword

enemies of the Pharaoh ...

as my arrows drunk

the blood of the lion.

Is predicted in my destiny.

So is the fate of Egypt

be written with blood?

It was ever thus.

While the war there

blood must flow.

What is your request?

An appointment, your majesty,

as an officer of his guard.

Your request is granted!

I wish he asked to be

Our cheesemaker.

Princess!

I wish he was.

The sun is setting.

I beg everyone.

I will return to my meditations.

Come, my daughters.

My lord, Princess Baketamon

requests your presence.

Follow me.

You do not.

Around here, my lord.

Come in, doctor. My mother

wants to talk.

He will not hurt you.

A little more beer.

Come closer.

So, I never knew

Who were his parents?

Certainly tried to find them.

Contact.

I'm happy with the

parents who have, your majesty.

What year was left to drift?

The same year he was born Pharaoh

I was told.

Why your majesty ...

Not here to ask.

My mother wants to examine.

I know I'm dying

wonder how long it will take.

Do not be shy.

Once enjoyed touch

touch the hand of a man.

Long time ago!

Why stop, doctor?

To wonder like a queen

braid a mat of reeds?

We are hunting birds.

I did not know that my family was

bird hunters in the Lower Kingdom?

And I got an eagle on my network ...

The Pharaoh himself.

He loved me, Sinuhe

because I was strong and vigorous ...

because I was vulgar and uneducated,

and told her the truth.

His other wives,

well born and delicate ...

have narrow minds.

How they hated me.

So I swore to give him a son,

to use the Double Crown.

And gave.

But the gods were wicked

They gave me a son so sweet

as a woman,

and a daughter as hard as a man.

Baketamon should be the pharaoh ...

not his brother.

Well, what he found?

If your majesty to apologize ...

Tell the truth.

If you want to live longer ...

must stop this strong drink.

What insolence. I drank

before you were born.

His majesty asked me the truth.

So I'll give you some advice,

young man.

Never tell

true for an old

especially if they ask.

Go now, you bother me.

What did she want?

I'm not sure.

mention me?

No.

One day, when I command

the army, you see ...

You know, when I think of it,

my blood boils.

Tell me friend,

has some potion,

to lower my fever?

Wise men say only a spirit

bad can be conducted by others.

I mean, another woman?

Of course.

That noble medicine.

I know the right place.

A woman of Babylon organizes

banquets every night ...

And do not bother

with two extra guests.

- No, I ...

- Look,

we must celebrate

our good fortune.

No worries, mate.

You are under my protection.

Let's go out there and

'll show you the garden.

Sinuhe, my friend.

Come out in the garden ...

pick some flowers.

No, you wait here.

Okay, I take

some for you.

Never seen

a woman before?

Hundreds.

And as the gods created them.

I'ma doctor.

Your name?

My name Sinuhe.

"He who walks alone."

This is your house?

This is my home,

and I invited

every night.

I do not like being alone.

Baraka!

It is the symbol of the new Pharaoh!

This is it.

I must leave now.

Why?

Because the man bring you

rich gifts,

in exchange for a little smile.

And that's all I have.

Never asked for anything,

to no man.

But I ask you to stay!

I can not ...

Is it because we women

Babylon

we have a bad reputation?

Or because they think I'm ugly?

Think?

You're beautiful ...

Beyond any dream.

Such flattery is easy to do,

for a man who knew
