The Egyptian Page #3

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.

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.
