The Egyptian Page #5

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.

The healings were simpler

considered miracles.

And I was known

as a worker of magic.

As we traveled to

new land ...

our wealth increased.

Everywhere we saw

injustice and poverty ...

but hardened my heart.

I booked my skills to

the rich and powerful,

who could pay.

For poor children,

there was no cure.

Scream when the pain increased.

None Hittite Warrior

screaming in pain.

Here ...?

Yes.

As feared Noble

Commander ...

your head must be opened

and evil taken

with a knife.

Egypt is a conspiracy?

To assassinate our

general, fair ...

just as planned

fight against Egypt?

You who brought me

Develon here, gentlemen.

I have no interest in your plans.

I have no homeland,

let alone Egypt.

Should I try to cure it?

What chances do I have to survive?

One out of five.

If I die, my officers

will kill you.

I know.

If I live ...

This will require?

His sword of black metal.

Nothing more.

- So it's a spy.

- No matter.

After the first attack,

our secret

will no longer be secret.

After the second ...

Egypt also fail

to be Egypt.

Go ahead, Egyptian.

Shave his head,

wash.

Tie it in that chair with force.

I go to prepare a drug

to ease your pain.

Love, love ...

dares to open the head

Commander ...

asked why

only a sword?

He could have asked for a fortune.

Because I think the new

metal from the Hittites,

can change

history of the world!

and why now commands Horemheb

the Egyptian army.

Now I see that he lied.

His heart finally softened.

Still loves his homeland.

At least never again

there.

No pharaoh forget

their enemies.

Put my instruments

in the flame.

KapTa, we go home.

Home ...

But Egypt Egypt ...

was a land at war ...

torn apart by hatred

and civil war.

I was afraid of the Hittites, love.

but I fear it even more.

Better that we had not come!

Your name, Syrian?

I am Egyptian. My name is Sinuhe.

Pharaoh's former doctor.

It must have been bitten by a monkey

angry as a child.

You know, that if your name is

the list of escaped criminals ...

Well, you know the Egyptians ...

Arrest them. Take them

to the commander.

There must be some mistake!

See the list again.

What do you expect me to do?

Bring forth the soldiers of Delta

cataracts?

Your duty is to maintain order

in the city ...

Should do so with

men who have.

Was ordered to never again

return to Egypt.

Why come back?

They say that they drank

the waters of the Nile ...

can not quench thirst

in other lands.

I know why you're here.

The priests of the ancient

gods wait to get rid of pharaoh ...

They say that the Pharaoh's crazy

and that his head should be opened.

It would be a simple act,

let the knife slip.

Thus brought to Egypt the only

man, master of operations.

You.

Give me the sword

got my set up.

Give him.

That's why I came back

Egypt!

Drawing his sword.

Back.

And now?

Hit me with strength.

Know what you're asking me

my friend?

Knock!

Again, stronger.

Where did you get that?

In the land of the Hittites.

Hundreds of Castings

work day and night

making weapons of this new

metal. called iron.

Come with me.

The new temple where the

Pharaoh worship their God only.

Look!

I saw the sadness that this one God

brought to Egypt.

Were the priests, and not

Pharaoh, who brought us sorrow.

It is they who blamed the Pharaoh

misfortune of Egypt ...

and made the people believe that

so the old gods ...

show their anger.

For me, hang all

the priests by the heels.

But Pharaoh was thought to retaliate

infidelity with kindness.

Come on.

Keep standing.

I apologize, Your Majesty

for interrupting your prayers.

I bring urgent news.

The sir

do not owe me an explanation.

Bring someone who

will no doubt remember.

Sinuhe, the physician.

Sinuhe ...

Yes.

He asks who grants

your pardon, your majesty ...

And I as commander of the army,

also desire to be merciful.

It's me who should I ask

forgiveness, Sinuhe.

Once I raised my hand to

and you would have killed him.

Glad to see you.

Sinuhe has just arrived

the land of the Hittites.

Are preparing a war

against us.

They succeeded in discovering

a new metal.

He brought this sword

as evidence.

Cut to the Egyptian

made of copper,

like a knife in the straw.

How can this be true?

I ordered the cross of

Hittite princess to life.

I promised them my friends.

Akhnaton, my crazy friend ...

You think they care about

Cross your life?

They want to loot, slaves and power!

And with that ...

able ...

unless you let me

attack them first,

destroying their cities,

its mines and smelters.

You are asking me to lead

to kill?

I am asking you to show

our enemies, the same treatment ...

... They want to give us.

No more, no less.

There is mercy in

heart of every man ...

if we could achieve it.

A man who lived in the dark

whole life ...

luz.Diz not understand what is bad

because it hurts your eyes.

We then turn off the lights and

and crawling in the dark with him?

This attitude, my king, has filled

Nile bodies.

This morning, new disturbances

began on the coast.

I had to send soldiers

to stop them.

Do not you see, sir

that a war now

unite our country?

But since the Egyptians will

together against a common foe.

He's right, my husband.

Until you?

So close to me is the darkness?

Horemheb should listen.

I can only listen Aton

I will write to the Hittite princess

asking for explanation

your intentions clearly.

Thanks for coming.

Now see what

I have to fight?

It could prevent you from doing

whatever you want with the army?

No, men meet

me and not him.

But it is the Pharaoh and

swore loyalty to him.

He will write to the Hittites ...!

You can even invite them

to take his throne.

Does it matter?

I have seen large and

Small governors ...

old and young ...

manly and effeminate.

The people are suffering and dying ...

whatever the sovereign.

Hittites, Egyptians, Cretans ...

It is too bad to believe,

believes as Pharaoh.

But it's worse to believe in

so little, my friend.

I do not believe in anything.

While Egypt was torn

a civil war ...

I doubled my fortune

as a physician of the rich.

Have the other patients

though. I am tired.

I will not see anyone else today.

I think I will see that I love,

will find rewarding.

The query is expensive?

Dude no, more interesting.

Send them to enter.

He will see you.

Come back tomorrow

sorry, can not

do nothing.

Can you help?

Tell me what is the evil thereof.

Give me your hand.

Open your toga.

Can I save your life

... But I can not restore its beauty.

The disease is already well advanced.

Want to live, Nefer?

Yes .. yes I want to live.

Come back tomorrow morning

I will try and heal it.

Can not pay him.

His collar was the only

thing left of me.

I will not charge

for my services.

Take.

For 10 years I dreamed

with it, find it again ...

... When I was you.

Accomplish my revenge, slowly

tasting it.

And it feels now

which had its chance?
