The Egyptian Page #7

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.

MikeR wants to kill him

by the gods.

Horemheb in Egypt ...

... And her sister

their own good.

Any hunter ...

show sympathy for

a wounded animal.

They told you how to plan

soiling of the throne?

Told me that Horemheb

should be the new Pharaoh.

And I'll be your queen.

He will come to my room tonight ...

Tomorrow will be consummated our marriage

the temple of the ancient gods.

Got it.

A good plan.

This marriage will make

accepted by the people.

But not for me, Doctor.

When I marry, will not be

with the son of a manufacturer of cheese.

Skirt!

We do not have much time.

The men of Horemheb

are controlling the town.

This evening the priests

recolocaro ancient gods in public

and make a sacrifice

bloody.

But together

We can beat them ...

Horemheb and all the

the evil priests.

Sinuhe, come here.

Here's what you should do:

pretend to agree with his plans.

Kill my brother

Horemheb and kill too.

Two murders.

So come to my

quarter tonight ...

and I personally will open the

doors with my bare hands.

willing to share

the throne with you, as Pharaoh.

Why do people accept a

without physician name,

... As a pharaoh?

Because you're a Pharaoh.

You are my half brother.

It is the only man in Egypt

fit to be my husband ...

and rule by my side.

Why do you think my mother

he summoned

the first day

who entered the palace?

Before she died

told me everything ...

and let me judge if you

should know the truth.

She was not the first to give

a son to my father, the Pharaoh ...

few weeks before, a

of his other wives ...

gave birth to a boy ... You!

Was taken from his mother

and left adrift on the Nile, in

tied with knots of boat hunter.

Tied up by my own mother ...

who was the daughter of a hunter.

And the mother did not notice that

her son had disappeared?

They showed her a dead girl

and said it was her.

Hundreds of babies are left

adrift, every year ...

and the boats are usually tied

with us as a hunter.

In the Lower Kingdom yes;

not at Thebes.

But there is evidence

stronger than that.

Take my chariot!

Come with me to the Valley of the Kings

the grave of my father ...

and see for yourself.

Amenhotep III ...

the great Pharaoh.

My father ...

... And yours.

Look!

The best artist

Thebes did it ...

You're just like him.

The nose, facial bones,

the jaw line.

You want further proof.

Look!

This is what my mother saw,

when it came before us.

What no one beyond

could recognize ...

the face of her husband

when he was young.

The great Pharaoh lives

back into you.!

Have a question now?

Leave me alone here.

You know I showed you

the truth.

Yes, now I'm sure

that is true ...

but Horemheb

accept that evidence?

Of course not. Is consumed

by his own ambition.

He went too far.

Could not turn back now

even if he wanted.

Therefore must be killed,

with Akhnaton.

Egypt is in your hands,

my brother.

The power of the gods is his,

if you dare

to grab it.

What is that?

What is it?

Horemheb began

their holy war.

Every follower of

God of Pharaoh

is marked for death.

A massacre!

Why should we care?

Let Horemheb

prepare the ground for us.

When my brother die

and governments ...

'll be much better

without these fanatics.

Let them go!

Merit!

Merit!

Love, love!

Where is your mother?

Parted.

Listen, KapTa. light

the boy to the docks.

Here, take this money

and these jewels.

Find a boat, buy a ...

steal one if needed.

And you?

I'll look for Merit.

We will meet as soon as possible

but do not wait for us.

Take the city boy.

I want to go with you.

Should go with No.

KapTa, my son.

Now run.

Run!

Stop them!

Is this yours?

Never seen it in my life.

You lie!

I saw when I threw it away!

Be sensitive, captain.

I look like a server

Aton of the damned?

We are simple people, honest ...

and I am the greatest

Bum of all Egypt.

This is your cross?

Captain, has a face

noble and intelligent.

Always collaborate

with the soldiers,

I myself was one.

Actually, I have my eye

for my country.

Well if that's all ...

Kill him!

Kill me a thousand crimes,

but not by a

ever made.

I hate the gods!

And the gods hate me.

Stay with it,

and this, gold, silver ...

everything I have.

I became a beggar and I

starve to death while living.

Let him go!

Come!

What can you afford?

What can you afford?

Give me your jewels!

Only those who can afford

rise to the board.

Give me your jewels! Give me your gold!

Only those who can afford

can come aboard!

Come, go.

KapTa, how do we pay?

He gave everything he had

for those soldiers.

Well, not everything!

The economies of

a dishonest life.

Come, come!

Please, please.

What can you afford?

Take this ruby. The child does not

occupy space.

All right, let him go.

Only those who can afford

can come aboard.

Sit here.

Well, I'm afraid that at my age

and in all innocence,

my father is making.

Toth!

Toth!

Kneel!

Aim! Shoot!

Merit!

Merit!

Sinuhe!

Not

Merit! Merit!

Toth?

Are you Kaptah.

With KapTa is safe.

Embrace me, my love.

Merit!

Bring to surviving

the dungeon!

I want this house down!

Leave no stone unturned!

Yes, commander!

Archers, follow me.

Sorry, my friend.

Had to be done.

It was not you who killed her,

but the madman

the palace.

He and his single God.

She believed in God it

and dead.

Is he still alive?

Yes It's in the palace.

Then, go to the palace and

I shall meet him there at dawn.

How will you give him?

A glass of wine.

You and I will drink with him.

I?

We're in this together

business, Horemheb ...

as we were always together,

since we were kids ...

Since we're doing

is for the good of Egypt ...

should feel honored

to participate directly.

Make sure that it is

agreed.

Combine our audience.

Do not worry. The main

will be in the cup of Pharaoh.

Then finally

took over the court.

Why I left

on the street?

Where did it go?

Burying a dream.

Is dead and forgotten now.

To Pharaoh.

For Horemheb.

For me.

What do you mean?

Horemheb is no fool.

How can I convince him to drink,

if I do not drink too.

But it will die.

I'ma doctor.

This oil will weaken the poison,

till I come here to

this drug to swallow vomit.

And if something goes wrong?

Then die

anyway.

Be careful,

my brother.

I'll be waiting for you.

Let's not pretend, my sister,

Our agreement ...

is strictly for power.

I think it can not be blamed

the wickedness in you.

Not your fault, it has

been distorted ...

and twisted like a tree, forced

to bloom forever, and not bear fruit.

The others made the way it is.

But I did hurt myself,

and I am aware of that.

You should go.

Sinuhe, open the door.

Sinuhe!

Why shut the door?

- I was not sure if it would be you.

Is everything ready?

He's in great room

praying to their God only.

What is the cup from him?

What it will take.

Welcome, friends.

We came as friends,

because they both love him.

I know.

We were talking about the day
