Julius Caesar Page #2

Julius Caesar.

We will feed it to my dogs.

That's the coast of Crete.

The ruler there used to make up laws

and hang them so high

that people couldn't read them.

And if they broke the law he'd

show then no mercy.

Today the shores are infected

by pirates.

We need to anchor for the night.

Where has father gone?

The other side of the water.

How long does it take to cross the water?

It depends on the wind.

Sometimes you can cross it in days.

Sometimes if the air is still

you may not move at all.

Easy on the ropes,

we could use nails.

Its the Roman way isn't it?

What kind of ransom do you get

for a Roman these days?

Two talents.

But I'll pay three to watch a roman drowned.

You'd get fifty from me alive.

And who would collect it?

They would.

If your men...

...don't return before dawn,

you die.

Your time is up, Roman.

I'll fight one of you for another day.

That's another day.

Nobody is coming back for this Roman.

Throw him in the sea.

Ship!

Fifty talents.

And the money just happened to

find it's way into your purse?

Sir I never stole a coin from you.

And I suppose it was the goldsmiths

who just happened to rob me again.

Sir they've been convicted for it.

I know how these things work.

You share the profits with

these men.

You pay me well I would never risk

my life for a gold coin.

This is the magistrate's testament

the goldsmiths have confessed.

Flavius had nothing to do with it.

Are you trying to tell me that a

man who handles so much gold.

never put a piece into his pocket?

He's been proven innocent.

This needs your signature.

Strangle him.

- Wait!

He's been proven innocent.

Well I,

just disapprove of the verdict.

Sulla...

He's a good man,

and he's here on my introduction.

Allow me to vouch for him

and protect him.

You can vouch for him all you like.

But protect him you can't.

the penalty protests strangulation.

Strangle him.

- There seems to be an error of judgment.

My judgment?

Pompey...

You're becoming very critical.

You want to rise above me.

Just waiting for your chance.

Those men worship the rising sun

and not the setting sun.

That's how the saying goes isn't it?

But I am not the setting sun not

yet but in the meantime...

...I expect you to subordinate yourself

to my wishes weather you understand them...

...or not.

Strangle him!

No...

You...

You strangle him.

No.

Taije did you hear him say no?

Ah, my dear general.

I asked you to strangle Flavius

and strangle Flavius you will.

And you will do it with your own bare hands.

You will strangle Flavius

or you yourself will be strangled.

Strangle him!

Strangle him now!

I will not have my orders disobeyed!
