The Egyptian Page #6

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.

Only penalty.

Sadness.

Because one day she was very pretty.

But a cat can not

avoid what it is.

It's strange, KapTa.

Revenge makes us so empty

how much fame and fortune.

Egypt is full of it.

and still

hungry.

Love, what you want?

I do not know ...

but whatever it is, I

looking in the wrong places.

Love is dangerous to walk in

block, without escort.

Sights, sounds and smells ...

can relive the past.

Here, I used to get water

for my father.

It was a long time.

Look, Kaptah!

I learned to climb that tree

when they could hardly walk.

-Leave me alone!

Come back here!

-Leave me alone!

- Do not let him escape!

No! The cross is mine!

What are they doing?

Leave him alone!

Enough, out!

Are you hurt?

No.

Where do you live?

Right there.

Toth, my dear!

I'm fine.

Is bleeding.

It was nothing.

Some boys,

did not liked my cross.

I'll take him to the doctor.

Can I help?

Sinuhe!

Yes, my lord,

can.

This is Mr. Sinuhe, Toth,

A very famous doctor.

I'll get a cloth to

the bandage.

I got it.

Merit,

after all these years ...

Was always present

in my prayers, Sinuhe.

I thank your God ...

it was he who approached us.

Want to join?

I knew that this was the

my father's house?

The house was cheap, and

needed a place of my own.

Her and her husband?

I am not married.

I found the bandages, Mom.

Mother?

He is the son of a

friend, orphan ...

But he did not know, think

I'm your mother ...

Sinuhe, please ...

"I understand.

Your secret is safe

with this orphan.

Please.

Here are the bandages.

and instruments

if you need to use them.

When I grow up I want

be a doctor too.

Hope you use it

with more confidence than I do.

I bought at the same time

I bought the house.

I see.

Sit on the bed.

Hold the bandage.

- Iso hurt.

- I'm not afraid.

I've also been

in their prayers?

Yes, I asked who taught him Aton

humility and good manners.

Now I know that we returned home.

Only in Egypt, speaking as a woman ...

... Has as sharp tip.

In two days you can take

the bandage.

But not before, you know?

- Why?

I mean, what will happen

If I take?

Probably nothing.

I spoke frankly with you ...

because doctors should be

always stand with their patients,

you'll discover. Increases

their respect for you.

and also their fees.

But I want to be

doctor of the poor.

But the rich have diseases

most interesting

and can afford.

No.Vou work for the poor.

I'm hungry and you?

I can eat a hippopotamus.

Today we eat fish.

Hurry, Mom!

Yes, fast.

Quiet you two.

Come here!

Clean your tools, Thoth

and put them in place.

I think I see too

with his one eye!

More than my love

with two.

If you dare tell him ...

Why tell?

I like my life

as is, without a woman ...

that spill hot water on my foot,

unpleasant when it ...

Questioning my spending,

rationing my beer.

Merit.

I did not ask to come here to

intrude into my life.

I did not expect ....

Smoke!

Perhaps you think that the smoke

blinded me too.

What do you Sinuhe ...

the large, wealthy, cynical ...

either with a maid in a tavern?

Call me big and rich,

but I have nothing.

I am the poorest man,

because I threw my life away.

Everything you touched,

destroy ...

my heritage, my parents,

your life too, Merit.

But in exchange,

you gave me something ...

Perhaps the answer to the question

I do, since I was a boy.

Not your God, for

I do not believe in gods ...

but a thing created and

that was not useless.

If it is too late to

live for each other ...

Maybe we can start

live for our son.

No, my boy.

Let me give you some advice

more precious than a gem.

Never listen to the windows,

matters that are not yours.

That's why we only have

one eye.

Intended to pass

without talking to me?

I ask pardon of your highness.

Pharaoh sent for me.

I know.

Many years passed, Doctor.

Her look of innocence is gone.

If His Highness will excuse me ...

Heard the news?

The Hittites invaded Syria.

Their carriages approaching,

Nile Delta.

Then the war began.

No!

My brother refuses to give

Horemheb permission to fight.

So he must be crazy.

I know this for a long time.

Doctor!

After seeing my brother,

come to my room.

- His Majesty ...

- Thanks for coming.

Majesty.

My friend!

Lord, should allow Horemheb

defend Egypt.

No!

No!

Right or wrong,

I will not order the death.

I can not dive Egypt

in a bloodbath.

They say I'm crazy ...

Horemheb, the priests ...

even my own sister.

They are right, Sinuhe?

Am I crazy?

Yes, it's crazy, your majesty ...

but their folly is more beautiful,

that the wisdom of others.

Beautiful ...

Yes, my vision of Aton was beautiful.

I thought it would bring peace and happiness

to all men.

I thought it might be your voice ..

and bring its message to my people.

But I was wrong.

The vision disappeared.

My voice was not more than ...

where the wind blows

in the desert.

Aton abandoned me ...

... By the war,

by madness,

by death.

If you love me, Sinuhe

Releases the weight of my soul.

Give me peace.

The duty of a doctor

is to extend the life ...

do not shorten it.

He should rest now.

You can do something for him?

Sorry, your disease

is not the body, Your Majesty.

What do you want?

What Pharaoh himself

asked him:
give him peace.

He has more courage

than I thought.

If Horemheb

know that ...

My men are ready!

The true master!

You too?

Listen, Sinuhe.

I like how Akhnaton

my right arm ...

But if my arm has

gangrene, cut it off.

Also like to Akhnaton

be cut out of Egypt!

Egypt knows all

I'm right ...

and you also know.

Yes

I would act in his place of

same way.

It has a potion that would

sleep without pain?

I have to kill you ...

... When all around me there is such

talent for violence?

Do that, and the gods

bless forever.

I understand, you speak for the gods,

Horemheb and Egypt.

Tell me something ...

who will succeed to the throne?

Who else but the master of

army, which will save Egypt ...

... And do it again

the greatest power on earth?

Yes.

Horemheb!

You, Pharaoh?

So this is price

for your treason.

Call it treason if you want.

But there's only one thing that can

save Egypt now ...

is courage,

courage to act, courage

to conquer our enemies,

and their leaders put in chains.

Akhnaton is in its

room, helpless.

Now is your chance

to kill him.

But you will not do, right?

Because they never raised a hand

openly against the Pharaoh.

If you kill him, then

the way a precedent will be free

that will be established,

... To another end

with the next Pharaoh

whose name you expect

that Horemheb.

So, this dirt must

be done indirectly.

As has always been

done in the past ...

By a physician

pretending to cure him ...

by a physician who is

recognized his friend.

Sorry, but I'm not that man.

Wait outside.

Do not go away.

His Highness wanted to see me?

Will do what they want?

No.

Should accept.

Akhnaton must die ...

for their own good.
