3,000 years ago in the 5th century bc,

the Egyptian people eked a hard and miserable existence

in their barren fields.

While in the capital city of tanis,

their pharaoh was permitted to live in luxury

by the conquering persians,

and surrounded by traitorous countrymen,

the Egyptian pharaoh was powerless

to protect his people from the suffering

and devastation brought upon them by the persian invaders.

Nor could the Egyptians gather the strength

to overthrow their enemy and regain their Liberty.

The pharaoh's at the door, 0 great vizier.

Betrayers.

If all I hear is true, your heads, your heads will fall.

You may dispose of our heads

at your pleasure, 0 great armiteo.

Only tell us what crime is it we've committed.

It is not against me your crime,

but against the people of Egypt, the whole population.

Tell us! Say what you told me!

Grand vizier, it is so long since we had peace

in our homes, and our people ask pity.

Your men ransack our homes, abducting our daughters,

and they are never punished.

And our girls just disappear.

Many times we have pleaded with them for a reason.

A reason!

Their only reply was, “orders of the pharaoh.“

"your great pharaoh commands it."

And I am held reasonable for all that.

This is my command.

You'll pay nowjust as I said with your heads.

Pharaoh, the guilty ones will pay.

But why give way to your anger?

You will only suffer.

Why not go to your room now?

You can decide just who is guilty or to punish them all.

Yes, my dear.

For now I must think.

That's her! That's the one!

Yes, I remember it's the same.

I'd recognize her anywhere.

It's the same eyes.

Who do you recognize?

After the soldiers took us, we were marched to the castle.

Then we were brought out.

We were taken to the market only to be sold as slaves

and she gave the orders.

She chose the one to be sold as slaves.

I remember that's her! That's her!

The boy is clearly mistaken.

I know he's been lying to you.

He's a man, isn't he?

And they say they abduct only the women.

I'm a woman and I escaped!

And you were there selling us as slaves!

I know you, I know you!

Selling slaves, are you? You betraying me.

Get out of here.

Your case will receive my attention.

As for you others,

I have decided I will see that you are punished.

I wanted to make you the most splendid king

the world ever saw.

Slaves brought money into Egypt and to you.

You don't give a thought to money although you're rich now.

The magnificence of our palaces,

I've had great monuments created for honoring you.

And how are your peasants going to pay for that?

Your ambition was disclosed to me long before.

Oh, I knew about it.

But I never dreamed that you'd descend to this, this infamy.

But now you'll see.

Guards! Come here!

Where is nofret?

Have any of you seen that girl?

Nofret she's too busy.

Taking care of kenamun.

Does it hurt anymore?

No, it's much better.

Why must you go away if the wound isn't closed yet?

It's necessary, nofret.

Tomorrow morning I must go to the caves of baltor.

Huh, to meet her, a woman prettier than me.

I couldn't find anyone else prettier than you.

But I can see why you're not staying

because I know something is wrong.

You saved us all actually holding back those persians.

Yet, I know nothing of you.

I was looking for love, and I found it.

Remain here with us.

My people and I can cure you, kenamun,

better than all the medicine in tanis.

Your hands are so fine they can only belong to a gentlemen.

But I don't care as long as you belong to me.

And you're mine too.

Goodbye, dear.

The sun is high.

It's late.

Do you have to depart now?

But I'll come back to be with you somehow, somewhere.

Nofret. Nofret.

Your sister's by herself again.

Ever since that kenamun's gone.

I brought you some food.

Today it's something nice.

I'm not hungry anymore.

Oh, but listen, nofret, you don't have to feel so sad.

One day, I know that he'll come back.

Well, he did promise that he'd come back and see me again.

I know he meant it.

Now you must begin eating, won't you?

- The persians! - The persians!

Soldiers!

Look out there!

Thank you.

I didn't think any lion would get up here.

I've been traveling for days, and I haven't seen any.

Look out now!

There's another one.

I would say we're even now.

I saved your life and immediately you saved mine.

Please forget it.

You travel without armor?

This is my armor here.

Now at home, strength like this is unknown.

I wonder what they'd say if they could see you and the lion.

But tell me now what your name is?

I feel I should tell them who you are,

the man who kills lions with his bare hands.

My name is maciste.

That's a strange name. What does it mean?

It means I was born from the rock.

And who are you?

You may call me kenamun.

And because I won't forget today,

here take this ring in token of our friendship.

If you should ever get to the capital,

show this to anyone in tanis and you will find me.

No, I can't.

I must say I have nothing to give you.

But I believe a friend should help, kenamun.

Then they're very lucky when you befriend someone.

Thank you. If you get to tanis look for me.

Yes, good luck.

Goodbye, son of Samson.

Good luck.

I can't go on.

Courage, nofret. You must.

Come, dear.

Look out.

I'll lead you back to your village.

Come.

What's happened here?

You there, why is the city so silent?

Our city is plunged into sorrow.

Can't you explain why that is so?

The pharaoh is dead.

Armiteo, our ruler, is dead.

My father, dead. I should have been here.

I pray the gods to pardon me.

But your father knew you were a good man, kenamun,

and he knew you too would be a great pharaoh.

It seems a pity that it happened now, of course.

But if we have a new pharaoh who will deal out justice,

your father would have been right indeed to be proud of you.

Was he very ill?

The gods willed your father to die that day

since his time had come.

And armiteo shall live in eternity and light

from this time on.

But your father's mortal remains,

just to please you his sarcophagus stayed like this

since the day he died on orders of the queen.

When was that?

Because he was alone that night, no one knew.

And then it was too late for his physicians.

He had a fine and touching funeral.

At the ceremonies you became an emperor.

Your future is clear.

With your father's place empty now, you must take it over.

I am here to advise you.

You're a man who's more than generous.

It's all I can do for them.

Without you we'd have been sold as slaves.

If I'd arrived sooner, I could've saved the men too.

And now where do you go?

I don't know it's not my destiny to stay.

That's not true, maciste.

You are able to choose your destiny

and you've done so in times past.

Look into your conscience and your feelings.

What do you know of my feelings?

My eyes don't see, but after all,

there are some things that my heart and mind see clearly.

Because I know you've been sent to liberate the Egyptians

and to smite all their oppressors.

But do not forget that I'm only a man.

And the people are with you in the battle.

Don't forget what I say now.

Give us the signal, and we'll march together.

You're invincible because you're just and we need a leader.

You'll make Egypt your destiny.

Go to tanis.

He, obviously, believes whatever I told him.

That's what I mean.

And so will all the others too.

Nobody can find out the facts.

Here's my oath, 0 father.

You were always a noble example.

You wanted to bring the people of Egypt a time of peace.

And if! Can, I'll continue that.

Because now your reign comes to me,

in your name I bring peace and justice,

and with your help all our enemies shall retreat.

I promise you.

His sorrow for a parent, that's all.

But he has courage.

His oath could place us in peril.

He'll calm down. We'll be married soon.

And if he doesn't consent to marry you?

He's still only a boy.

Have you seen nofret?

No.

What is it?

I'm looking for nofret.

She was here a few minutes ago.

Without her we just can't go.

But you didn't look under the trees near the little oasis.

In my mind, I imagine that I can see your sister there.

Nofret. Nofret.

There you are, but why didn't you answer

when you heard me calling you?

We're ready to depart now.

I'm not going with you.

I'm remaining here.

You can't be serious.

To remain alone at the oasis? Why?

Why not go with us?

I promised.

I promised no matter what happened.

I said that I would always be here waiting.

I have to.

If somebody loves you, then you don't mind waiting alone.

Oh, nofret, you're funny, really you are.

You'll find your kenamun.

Kenamun? Wait a minute.

Can it be him?

I know him. He saved my life.

But you're just telling me that.

I swear it.

He said he'd meet me in tanis.

And you could see him in tanis. Go with us.

I feel I should stay. You could be lying to me.

Your kenamun wore a bandage on his right arm.

Do you remember?

Now do you believe me?

Tekaet.

Kenamun.

Observing the desert, are you?

Inspiration?

Looking for counsel that will illuminate your heart?

The desert doesn't counsel me.

The desert has a fascination now.

And you can't return, can you?

Now that you're pharaoh you have to stay here with us.

I know Egypt now and all our Egyptians.

And I feel the best thing for me was,

was when a village took me in when I was wounded,

and then I saw how the peasants shared everything with me.

Oh, they're nothing.

All that sympathy spent on the peasants.

What about the evil underneath their humility?

How do you know?

You could be on the moon

as far as the peasants are concerned.

Excuse me, please. I don't want to offend you.

I know you've been good to all my people.

Kenamun, here we are.

Together we bring Egypt to all of its glory

if you would only announce our engagement to the people.

That's impossible, no, please.

Too little time's passed yet since I was away.

And you wouldn't want to get married when fatherjust died.

I'm sure there's a woman standing in the way, isn't there?

Well, I hope she won't lead you into any mistake.

This has been a very enlightening visit.

Because I know that our marriage must take place

on orders of the persians.

There's the oasis!

We've arrived.

Finally we'll be able to get some water.

That's why we rushed here.

We must fill all the bottles we have with us.

They're empty.

Well, we must get to Memphis before it gets dark,

otherwise we'll never make it.

You can get down now.

Come, there's water.

Come on, come on.

- It's empty, no water. - What can we do?

Just go on till we find some.

What happened?

The stream is dry.

It's not the only one, unfortunately.

Hurry, we must go on.

Maybe there's still hope we can find some.

Come back to the carriage.

We'll set off for Memphis, and there we'll find water.

One man. One man who defeats 40 soldiers.

The man knows no fear.

He can only be a god.

He's a man of great strength.

He handles rocks as though they were pebbles.

- Well, it's incredible. - But the man is real.

He freed all those women.

What about all the soldiers?

The two who remain, they're superstitious and terrorized.

They say that his strength

is almost supernatural, invincible.

I want to see this man with my own eyes.

Better send a larger force out.

Be sure they get my orders correctly.

He's to be captured alive, of course.

It will be done.

When you find the village, ask for nofret,

and give her this ring and say I will soon be returning.

She must be there. Not a word to anyone.

I'm afraid it's late. You'll have to hurry.

Stop him! Bring him back!

Let go.

The slave told all.

He was to go to a village in the desert

where he was to locate a peasant girl named nofret,

and tell her kenamun would return.

He took a present.

And that isn't all.

The village is the one where the women were freed.

Please listen, only one means to improve this situation.

Come.

Now do the gods speak.

Kenamun's gripped by this unholy passion.

And to show him mercy someone near to him will come fonnard

and offer the necklace of forgetfulness.

It will weaken his memory and his willpower.

And he will be the happy slave to you

when he puts on this necklace.

He is yours, great queen.

A drop of water for my baby, my child.

- There isn't any. - My child. My child.

Even that well is dry.

Oh, look a caravan.

Hello, grandfather.

It's something this heat, isn't it?

Maybe it's all these girls around here that's making us hot.

Don't laugh, sir. These poor women are dying of thirst.

It's no use. We must go on.

My baby! My baby is dying!

Just a little water.

Please just a drop! It's for him!

Please just a drop of water.

It's not for me! It's for my baby!

My baby!

Haven't you a bit of water to ease their suffering?

No, get back.

The pity is we drank all our water.

All that remains is in the stomach of the camels.

To laugh at other's suffering is bad.

The revenge of the gods will fall upon you.

Why don't you take me to tanis

and show me the way to get inside?

Oh, the festivities have started.

You'll find it all right.

It's a big party.

What party are you talking of?

But you haven't heard? The coronation of the new king.

It's quite a party.

Maybe you'll help me find people

who are willing to fight the persians?

Hmm, might. I know people who will listen.

Most of them aren't too well disposed to start anything.

But the few I mentioned, they might aid you.

Can we go right now?

It's whatever you say.

I'm prepared to go now

because if we stay in this furnace, we'll fry.

Maciste, the gods can expect of you no more than this.

To take us all out of the persian's hands,

somehow it is meant to be in the plans of the gods.

You're appointed to lead us,

and thus you are the only hope we have.

You, imbecile, give them water,

and we'll be dying of thirst.

Hey, merchant, come here.

I've decided we should travel by night,

so we could leave at sunset.

Of course, but in this place the sunshine's permanent.

Give me some I'm dying of thirst!

- It's mine! - Please give me some drink!

- I want that! - No, I won't.

- Give it to me. - Oh, please.

- Let go! - Please.

- Go away! - Let me have some water.

No, I won't I'm not going to share it, no!

Oh, please I'm begging let me share.

Get your hands off me!

Please give me some!

How did they find that water?

On the camel there.

I'll fix you. You're a coward with a-

- have mercy.

Why did you refuse to give water

to these poor women and children?

You don't deserve to live.

Water, water!

Here it is, water.

Here take some.

Take some.

He'll be alright now, won't he?

- He's gonna be all right.

Oh. Thanks.

Tell the queen I cannot see her now.

I will come later.

Yes, my lord.

Will you accept this gift?

It is sure to bring you good fortune?

How did you know I hoped to see you?

And, oh, I feel good.

When I'm close to you,

everything in my life becomes more precious to me.

- Wake up, nofret. - Hmm?

He does seem like a god.

Yes, yes, I know.

But let me sleep I was dreaming.

You know, it's strange in a way.

When you care for somebody,

there's a kind of special light that's visible only to you.

Can you explain that?

Yes, tomorrow. Come on and go to sleep.

I can't sleep tonight.

Are you afraid of the jackals out there?

Yes, I was.

May I stay with you

because with you everything is all right?

You are the kind of person somehow

that I didn't dream ever existed.

And you're beautiful.

And your eyes have a sparkle that I've never seen before.

You don't know how surprised I am at what's happened.

You look at me, close into my eyes,

and I never, never before felt so happy.

Yet, I must go on.

I will take this rough path.

But you'll be a sweet memory.

But did you know that I knew you long ago.

I felt it, I had the impression when I first saw you,

and now it's come to me.

My mother took me as a baby to the temple of amun.

That time was the first I ever saw of the gods.

The statues were enormous

and to me you're like those statues.

Somehow to me you're a god that is living.

Tanis is the most beautiful city in the world.

It's the first time you visited, right?

Why, isn't it marvelous?

It's as I imagined it.

As though I'd seen it before.

- Where are you going? - Into the city.

You can't go in there! Go on you filthy beggars!

- Stop it! - Get away!

Hold on why are you not allowed to enter the city?

The guard says we're beggars.

And the pharaoh doesn't wanna look on our misery.

Yeah, it's useless.

The pharaoh may change, but the injustice goes on.

You see that one? He won't be sent away.

Take my word.

Here you are.

Thank you, go ahead.

Thank you.

Hey, now you see?

They all know he's a filthy trader in women.

Ah, money, the power it has.

What is this? Why?

Have faith in me. I know what to do.

You wait for me at the usual place.

I'll meet you there.

- Very well. - Come on now.

Very good.

Hello, you remember me, I was here last year.

I remember you, but who is that?

He's a merchant, a very rich boy.

I was very lucky to have met him.

Tomorrow his caravan arrives with merchandise,

and he'll throw money around.

Come on.

Eh, take it back.

I don't want a mask.

But why? Here in the city we all wear masks.

We have to hide our feelings,

even hide what we're really like.

You must show a great deal of prudence.

Alright, I'll be prudent.

No! No!

No!

Stop it! Stop it!

My father's innocent. He didn't do anything.

Get away.

Stop it just because he didn't pay his bills.

Stop it right now.

After him!

Up the stairs!

Get the boy! Up there.

All right, let's get him. Now come on let's get that ladder.

- Fix the ladder now. - Lock it up.

Get it.

All right, let's get him down here now come on.

- Come on ladder. - Lift it up.

He can't get off that roof.

All right, I'll get up there myself first.

Here we go first turn against the wall.

Quickly.

Okay, hold it steady.

There it is.

What? Hey, hold it!

Stop it, maciste.

Good, good, good.

Stop it! You'll ruin me.

- Let us go. - Hey, let me down.

Where are you taking us?

Look out.

Put us down.

- Put us down. - No!

Help!

Let go!

We haven't succeeded in finding this man.

Be sure that he's found just as I ordered you.

Bring him here alive or dead now.

The example this man sets can be dangerous.

If you fail to capture him, you'll account to me.

He can't escape.

My guards are searching for him throughout the city.

Get in there. Don't move!

Hey, did you see a man go by just now, very tall?

- I saw no one. - Come on.

In here.

You're here.

Right this way.

Thank you.

Thank you for helping me and my boy.

And your wounds?

The wounds are not important.

There are lots of men in Egypt

who are far worse off than me.

I come here to help you.

He's not inside any house.

Must be he disappeared.

- We've looked everywhere. - It's useless.

Have you seen him?

- No, sergeant. - No, sergeant.

Start looking again everywhere!

Yes, sergeant.

It's the slaves I want to speak to.

I want them to know that there's somebody

who hasn't forgotten them.

And that the day of rebellion is not too far away.

You can't imagine how they live and how they're treated.

It gets worse every day.

Work harder!

- Pick it up now. - Work harder!

Pull!

That's it now move!

Pull it harder!

- Get on! - Get it up there!

- Come on! - That's it.

Bring it in.

Pull harder.

Stronger.

- All right, keep moving! - Go on, you!

Pull it up.

Look at that.

How can they stand it.

Help, help us.

What are you doing there?

- Get to work! - Oh!

Get to work!

I'll show you who's master here!

- Back to work! - Stop it.

Stay here. You won't teach them pity.

And besides that you'll kill me.

I'll die of fright if they discover you.

But who is that?

The pharaoh and the queen?

Kenamun?

But what about it?

Why? Does he know you?

Well, you see they're erecting the obelisk in your honor.

The important thing is you.

You mean everything to me.

I want you to say yes and marry me now.

Won't you wait a little more?

Have you forgotten that we're still in mourning?

They really are the same.

I must find a way to see him.

But that's crazy, it's impossible.

- Pick it up! - Harder!

- Here! - Pull. Pull!

Alright, yes, we're doing this.

Come on.

All right, yes, we're doing this.

- Come on. - Look at the cord.

Pull harder!

- Come on! - Come on!

Pull! Pull!

Tie the cords.

Run and support it from the other end.

Secure the cord and get the wagon in motion.

All right, yes, we're doing this.

Come on.

All right, yes, we're doing this.

Come on!

All right, whoa.

Over here!

All right, yes, we're doing this. Come on.

My leg's caught.

Get up now.

All right, men, yes, we're doing this.

Come on!

Prepare to bring up the rope for equilibrium.

Come on!

Pull!

All right!

Guards.

Get that man!

Pull! Pull!

All right, men, yes, we're doing this!

Get him!

Halt, stop! What's happening here?

Hand me the torch.

This a sewer that leads right to the prison.

It's impossible to lift that.

But you'd need the strength of two bulls to move this.

All right, move it back.

And make sure it's in place.

You there, push a little harder.

That's coming along.

Hey, you there go and check the prisoners.

- But did you really see him? - Yeah, he's here right now.

See for yourself.

You must really help us now.

Against the army we'll need real arms,

and you'll have them at the right time.

Outside there are some men who will lead you to Liberty.

But you must be careful.

The guards!

Tell us, maciste, what are you planning?

I'll try to enter the pharaoh's palace.

It's there where evil comes from.

It's the pharaoh you'll kill?

No, I just want to talk to him.

I know he'll listen to me.

The queen, how about her?

The queen is not Egyptian

and the gods have decided that Egypt shall be free.

And woe to those who don't believe it.

I pledge it.

That's right.

Hurry, hurry! After him, quickly!

What's to do with you? Get close to him!

Well, is he taken?

It was impossible! He entered the cell of death.

Now you report to the queen.

He escaped out of the cell of death.

What's that you said?

He's not crushed between the walls.

He broke down the door and disappeared.

He's got to be captured.

Follow me all of you.

He can't be far away yet.

Oh, that's nice.

If you take my advice, we should leave tanis.

Be careful now he'll ask you questions.

Now see who's here I was looking for you.

I wasn't going to do anything.

That's not what I wanted to ask you about.

Oh, no, really you must confuse me with my cousin.

Silence! Now pay attention.

When you came through the city gate,

the man with you was no merchant.

Now I want you to tell me just where he is.

-Bub -gmbmm!

Hold on to him.

A slave! Go on.

What shall I do to him?

He must know more than he's told us. He's lying!

You must get him to tell everything he knows this time.

I'll bring him to in a minute.

Throw it.

And now who's in charge of this revolt?

I know nothing about such things.

No, not that.

Not that! I'll do anything you say!

I'll say anything for you!

Where can we get this maciste?

Listen to me, it's the truth I'm saying.

We encountered him there at Memphis only a few days ago.

Who did he go to?

Did he know somebody?

Who did he plan to see here?

I don't know.

But he was traveling with some girls,

taking them from a destroyed village.

That's all I know about it, I'm sorry.

I would tell you if! Knew more.

I don't know this maciste.

He never says anything to me.

If I were you, I would ask the women he was with.

They know more than I.

The guards, send them out.

Hmm, we'll find them.

And if they won't talk, they'll meet your fate.

No! No!

No! No!

Is this all right?

Yes, just make the point like that.

You got into the palace and that's all?

Well, I had to escape.

If only I'd the chance to talk to him.

Now that you're here what are you planning?

We'll wait for a time that will be right for us.

In a few days to honor the new pharaoh,

they'll hold the chariot races.

That's when we'll begin our fight,

and the rest is up to you.

Fine, we'll be ready the day of the chariot race.

Bad luck getting stuck like this.

They're out there enjoying the afternoon

and we're here guarding these dogs!

Well, I've had enough of all this crowd too.

I wanna enjoy myself too, you swine!

Dogs, now get over there and start moving.

Be quick about it! Get over there!

Faster! Faster!

Faster, I said, faster!

The palm of victory is now handed to you as the winner.

And the pharaoh offers you the palm

with more than satisfaction.

Yours is the privilege of punishing the traitors

that have been brought here today

for plotting against our king

and you may begin the rites now.

Everybody's ready.

Here's maciste. Everyone's here.

Alright then.

Have you followed my orders?

As far as possible.

- And the arms? - That's fine.

We have more than we have to use when something happens.

And the slaves?

They're just waiting for you to give the signal.

Somebody said to look out after the chariot racing ends.

They don't expect anything like this.

It's nothing probably.

We're all mixed up in the crowd.

I'll give the signal

as soon as I come near where the king is.

- We know. - Be especially careful.

- And remember- - watch out for the guards.

Just watch out for yourselves.

Come forward everyone.

See the execution of the traitors.

Come fonnard.

Hold it. Hold it.

Fonlvard.

Nofret! Nofret!

Nofret.

- Tekaet. - Nofret. Nofret.

Go on and arrest him.

You're a man who stands alone.

That's more than fortune. Bravery is good in a man.

You merit a recompense, I think.

Tell us your wish.

Thank you, my queen.

May I ask for one small favor.

Free my friends here.

Certainly the pharaoh will not refuse what you ask.

And I am sure you and your friends

will appreciate his generosity.

It's kenamun.

It's disgraceful,

when I think that we were all ready.

Maciste has betrayed us.

Betrayed nothing.

I think whatever he's done he has a good reason.

He's been seduced

by the loveliness of the queen, hasn't he?

Going over to our worst enemy.

Well, he certain left us.

You're all ridiculous.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Accuse maciste of leaving you.

He won't desert you. He's got a plan.

Please stop your fooling, man, and don't defend him.

At this moment maciste is finished with us

and with you as well.

I wanted you when we first met.

I always imagined loving a man like you.

But you saved those girls, why?

Women are for love not for death.

I feel this about you.

I always keep my promises.

You mustn't think about other girls.

My queen, it's not for beauty I'm thinking of other girls.

I'm remembering my word.

If I knew what you thought, I should be happy.

I will for this hour.

You are my master, and I'll be at your Beck and call.

Wait a minute.

Kenamun, do you remember me?

Should I?

I'm maciste, don't you recognize me?

Certainly, I saw you in the arena.

But before that.

You saved my life, don't you remember?

I'm here.

- They're all here. - Thank you.

Everybody into the cart.

Hurry, hurry. Yeah, that's right.

Quickly now. Step lively, that's it!

Come on, get in there!

- Thank you. - No, stop!

Maciste has abandoned us, you see.

Abandoned us.

But I think that it's only that the queen has turned

his head and heart away from us.

Then he's betrayed us.

I can't believe it.

Nofret? I don't know her.

You must ask somebody else.

About a girl you once loved, kenamun.

Come on, try to remember.

You're quite mistaken.

I love her.

Now listen to me, kenamun.

It's the queen's plotting that brought me to the palace.

But I can stop her since I'm no slave to her.

Try to remember. Please, try to remember.

Recall how this girl nofret treated your wounds,

how you killed a lion that was attacking me.

I'm here to save you now.

Come away with me, and rejoin your own people.

We'll drive out these persians,

and you'll be the real ruler of Egypt

just as the people pray you will be.

To please me. It's good.

You love me, do you?

How can you even doubt it.

Then you won't mind helping me.

To do what?

Help me.

I think that kenamun must disappear.

That he must die.

Are you serious? The pharaoh is sacred.

I'm the one who's sacred.

Don't you know that I decree the laws!

And you thought you could outwit us.

Some poor provincial, maybe.

If I hadn't discovered everything you'd have won.

Pity that you betrayed us

because I knew that you would.

Only one more thing.

You won't be seeing your little group of women again.

They've been sent into slavery and you'll be sent to die.

Feed him to the crocodiles.

Isn't it awful, and everything's done.

He got close to that woman and forgot all about us.

What are you talking about? What do you know?

I know the word's got around.

This morning the prison guards were talking about it.

Betrays us and calls us brother.

- Yeah. - He's the queen's lover.

I say that's a lie!

Now don't you listen to these imbeciles.

Don't you call me an imbecile.

- Hey, get off! - Come on, get off!

Hey, hey stop that! Maciste!

I want these men I'm going to take them.

Go on tell them.

Do what he says.

Now you're free.

Come with me and I'll break your chains like this.

If you follow me, many others are waiting for us. Come on.

Close the gate!

They mustn't leave the city.

Quickly, close the gate!

Forward.

Fonlvard.

I know my duty.

These rebels are offenders.

They mustn't defeat us.

I must go and see they are punished.

No, please don't run the risk and the peril.

Besides you can send soldiers.

Don't insist, my dear.

I'll bring you the heads of these rebels, I promise.

J“ oh, oh, oh, oh, oh j“

j“ oh, oh, oh, oh j“

maciste, I always knew deep down you'd liberate us.

We've been waiting for you.

The men are impatient to fight.

Distribute the arms to the men as soon as possible.

I'm sure they are enough.

Please hurry. Come on, you.

- Ah, maciste! - Stay with me.

Get the arms ready, down there.

Now we can start living.

I've got news for you I can't wait to tell you.

News?

Over here, over here.

I saved the girls, they're in here.

When he overturned our carriage, I just ran.

It was that little fat man who had saved us.

Maciste, at last you're back.

Of course.

I knew that you would find us.

Tekaet.

- The persians. - The soldier!

The persians are down there.

Don't wait till they reach here! Get to them beforehand!

Come on!

Get back! Get back!

Go back!

Come on.

Fonlvard.

To the bridge!

The wagons! Come on, come on!

Come on.

We're going to cross the bridge now.

What is it?

Who are you?

Yes, I know.

You're the man I saw in the desert

near the village I left nofret.

You remember nofret now, do you?

Nofret, I must go to her.

They're arriving.

I know how you betrayed us

and dishonored the memory of armiteo.

And you persecuted my people terribly

and ransacked the whole country,

even to selling our women into slavery.

But now you will pay and punishing you will be a pleasure.

You know the law in a case like this.

You are branded with fire until you are turned to ashes

and the gods of vengeance will be appeased.

Those traitors who served you will be punished

as they deserve.

And you, my kind advisor, I shall hand you to the people.

They know what to do with traitors.

Now what have you to say to me?

Young man, I think you will pay

for your arrogance to me now with your blood.

- Go on! - Look out.

Hooray! Hooray!

No, no, no!

No, maciste, for my sake, don't!

Hold your weapons!

I say he is to be brought down.

Bring him here.

I said the people will judge you.

And the people shall, take him!

No, no, no, no, no.

You've won, didn't you, maciste?

It's your victory.

But one thing you won't put me to the fire.

You won't put me to the fire.

Thank you, maciste.

I thank you not only for myself,

but for all of us here, for all you've done.

I had to, it was decreed,

and I'm glad that the gods have helped me.

Please remain with us.

It's impossible.

There's nothing more I can do here

because my destiny pulls me farther and farther away.

I must go where other people need help,

but I'll come back someday, to you.

J“ ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah j“

j“ ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah j“

j“ ah, ah, ah, ah j“
