:19:00
His ambition: To rule the Roman world
as emperor and god.

:19:04
The Roman world, to begin with.
:19:07
And what stands in his way?
:19:10
- You and I.
- And my son!

:19:13
The rightful heir to the name
and glory of great Caesar.

:19:16
Octavian has already stolen those
and he will now destroy...

:19:22
...in the name of his sister,
Rome's love for you.

:19:25
And by your marriage to her...
:19:27
...he has made of me, unmistakably,
your whore.

:19:31
Never fear Octavian?
:19:34
It is he, now, who I think
must be unafraid.

:19:43
Show me a city and I'll take it.
:19:46
I'll find an army's weak points
and hit them hard.

:19:49
But make me to sit down and talk
in whispers of this and that...

:19:53
...with an emphasis here and a shrug,
and I'm soon confounded and defeated.

:19:59
Meaning to do the best...
:20:02
...I suppose I could not
have done worse.

:20:10
There is still time.
:20:13
Let someone ask me what I want:
:20:16
To live with you in peace and love.
:20:19
Do you have...
:20:21
...conditions for total surrender?
:20:24
First, as did Caesar...
:20:27
...you will marry me
according to Egyptian ritual.

:20:31
That's not a condition,
that's a reward.

:20:33
You'll declare, by your authority...
:20:36
...Caesarion to be king of Egypt...
:20:38
...and we will rule together
in his name.

:20:41
Happily granted.
:20:43
You will cede to Egypt
all the territories I have demanded.

:20:50
You must.
:20:52
If only to assert
your own authority and power.

:20:56
Otherwise, inevitably,
in time we will lose everything.
