Exodus: Gods and Kings Page #4

your chief advisor's advice.

No, he came.

He told me of an incident

involving two guards.

One of which survived the attack.

And I told him I did not care.

And then, he told me

the most unbelievable story.

Told to him, he said,

by very reliable sources.

Then, when pressed...

He admitted that they were Hebrew spies.

- You know what I'm talking about.

- Yes.

And what do you make of it?

I think it's offensive,

and I think it's ridiculous.

Yes. Yes! You, of all people, a Hebrew.

And I said,

How can I believe such a story?

Cousin...

You can't.

What if I take the chance

of not believing it, Moses?

What am I to do?

Bithia!

Mother.

The man is a thief.

My son discovers this. Not you.

And he reports it to your father,

who would have hanged this thief,

if he hadn't been dying himself.

- You believe his feeble, self-serving lies.

- All I want to know is if it is true.

I didn't ask for a tirade.

To talk about this any longer

would dignify it, and I won't do that.

- Answer the question. Yes or no?

- Was I talking to you?

Bring her in. Bring her in. Now!

Miriam! Come. Sit. Sit down.

Now, I'm going to ask you some things

that are going to seem very strange to you.

I just would like you

to answer them truthfully.

How do you know Moses?

You know how I know him...

And you. I helped raise you both.

So you are not his sister, then?

Of course not.

- And you're not a Hebrew.

- No.

Place your arm on the table.

- Ramses...

- Don't be stupid!

- Ramases!

- I am not talking to you!

I am talking to her.

Your whole arm on the table, Miriam.

Thank you.

Ramses...

- Don't take this any further.

- Don't take this any further, or what?

- Do not take this any further.

- Are you quite sure about that?

Get your hand off it, or use it, now.

Or perhaps you'd like

to answer the question?

Then I'll proceed.

Miriam, I'm going to ask you again,

and if your answer is again no,

I apologize for what happens next.

Are you his sister?

No.

Yes!

Yes!

You don't need a reason

to kill him, but you have one.

- This was treason.

- How was it treason?

- He just admitted he knew.

- That wasn't an admission!

Simply did not want her arm lopped off!

I saw it in his eyes.

He does not believe this story.

I don't want to believe it!

You want to believe it, because it's an

opportunity to be rid of him...

which you always wanted.

I didn't say "exiled," I said "dead."

That, I'm sure,

will follow where he's going.

Khyan... allow me to talk to my mother.

Yes, sir, yes.

Come, Miriam.

It isn't every man who would protect a

servant who's nothing more to him than that.

Certainly no one else in this family...

including me.
