KHYAN : It's true , the H ittite army

has 1 6 , 000 troops cam ped outside Kadesh .

What's less clear is why.

The H ittites are tryi ng to cross the border.

O bviously.

What else wou ld they be doi ng ?

KHYAN : Antici pati ng an i nvasion by us , accord i ng to ou r i nformation .

They th i n k we are ...

prepari ng an attack, wh ich we are not.

What I don 't want to do , and won 't do , is sit here ...

and wait u nti l we' re fig hti ng H ittite arm ies ...

outside the palace wal ls .

Come .

What do the entrai ls say?

They don 't "say" anyth i ng .

They i m ply.

And that's open to i nterpretation .

S ETI : So , i nterpret them .

We' l l wi n or we won 't i n a preem ptive attack?

It's a yes or a no .

And it's not clear.

B ut someth i ng else is .

I n the battle , a leader wi l l be saved ...

and h is savior wi l l someday lead .

that we wi l l abandon reason ...

and be g u ided by omens .

I don 't know why my father hasn 't.

B ut, j ust i n case ...

if you see me i n any real danger out there , ride the other way.

I ' m serious .

S ETI : When l look at you, l still see the two boys...

who g rew u p together, close as brothers .

If, for any reason ...

you ever forget that...

let these rem i nd you .

Long enoug h to be effective from horseback...

not so long that you tri p over them .

Th is is h is . You 've got m i ne .

What happened out there?

N oth i ng .

I asked the com manders the same th i ng . They, too , l ied .

(C H U C KL ES) And I ' m ti red of it.

H e th i n ks someth i ng happened .

B ut it d id n 't. Mean i ng ?

The H ig h P riestess , her prophecy.

S he said she cou ld n 't see who wou ld wi n .

The other one . "The leader wi l l be saved . . . "

And so on .

You saved my son 's l ife?

(SO FTLY) Yes .

S it.

"Than k you" is not sufficient...

but than k you .

I know you don 't bel ieve i n omens or prophecies ...

but I do bel ieve .

And I respect that.

B ut th is isn 't anyth i ng .

Th is doesn 't even make any sense .

Because you ' re not my blood .

(SO FTLY) Yes .

It's true , you can 't succeed me .

N ot i n the usual way.

N ot i n any way.

I n any way i mag i nable , sitti ng here .

It's horri ble to say th is about one's own son ...

but I trust you more than h i m to lead .

"The H ittite chariotry...

"crashed th roug h ou r defense and began its attack.

" I fou nd myself su rrou nded by the enemy...

G RAN D VIZ I E R: P ithom .

The situation . The slaves .

F i ne . Ramses .

What?

Go u p there , meet with the viceroy,

look arou nd , make a report.

It wi l l be you rs someday. Take an i nterest i n it.

What else?

I ' l l go to see the viceroy.

RAMS ES : N o .

I ' l l go . (S I G H S)

It's beneath you .

It's beneath any general .

I ' l l do it.

Ramses ...

can we forget what happened ...

on the battlefield ?

If ou r positions had been reversed ...

I wou ld 've saved you r l ife , too .

I know. I know.

(H I SS I N G)

It was a good shot.

Even if the gods d id g u ide you r ai m .

A l ittle venom i n you r blood is a good th i ng .

Makes you less vu l nerable to the next poisonous bite .

(I N D I STI N CT CO NVE RSATI O N S)

MOS ES : The viceroy seems to be enjoyi ng a good share of h is resou rces .

Th is isn 't a job everyone wants to do , my lord .

A certai n deg ree of comfort is necessary to keep u p h is spi rits .

H EG E P : You know what the problem is?

People l ive too long these days .

Every year, the death rate lags fu rther beh i nd the bi rth rate .

And these people ...

they reprod uce l i ke it's a sport.

Th is is the problem ? A g rowi ng work force?

O h , no . N o , of cou rse not. It's good for prod uction .

Of cou rse it is , but on ly to a poi nt.

When that popu lation wants you dead ...

yes , it's a problem .

So , either I ' m g iven more troops to mai ntai n order...

or I start th i n n i ng out the herd .

You start slaug hteri ng people ...

for no reason other than th is precarious theory...

you wi l l provoke the very th i ng you say you wish to avoid .

F i ne , then g ive me the troops .

Let's go down and tal k to them .

Why on earth ?

You ' re worried about sed ition .

Let's fi nd out if that worry is real .

By tal ki ng to them ?

By looki ng at them ...

when I tal k with them .

You can tel l a lot about somebody...

looki ng h i m i n the eye .

Wel l , let me tel l you someth i ng ...

about H ebrews .

They are a con n ivi ng , com bative people .

Do you know what " Israel ite" means ...

i n thei r own lang uage?

" H e who fig hts with God . "

" H e who wrestles with God . "

There is a d ifference .

I may not be as ed ucated as you ,

wh ich , apparently, you want to rem i nd me of.

(C H U C KL ES) B ut I have to deal with them every day.

I know what I ' m tal ki ng about.

You don 't have to come . I ' l l go down there myself.

MOS ES : Stop ! (G ROAN S)

Why is he bei ng pu n ished ?

Persistent trou blemaker, my lord .

MOS ES : Why is he sm i l i ng ?

H e says he feels no pai n , my lord .

Then why wh i p h i m ?

You were not gathered u p at random .

I asked to see ...

the elders .

Come on . What do you pray for?

We pray to see Canaan agai n .

MOS ES : Canaan agai n ?

You 've never seen it.

I 've seen Canaan .

I 've seen that it's i n habited by tri bes fiercer than Egypt's m i l itary.

So , you won 't be retu rn i ng to it...

or, if you do , from it.

God says otherwise . MOS ES : Wh ich god ?

You r god ? The God of Abraham ?

The god that says that you are special ?

That you are chosen ?

Come here . U p .

Come here .

(MOS ES C L EARS TH ROAT)

H e's wrong .

I can see you ' re u nconvi nced , and that's a problem .

Because next to u n real istic bel ief l ies fanaticism ...

and next to that, sed ition , and next to that, revol ution .

And it al l starts with the elders .

What's you r name?

What's you rs?

(C H U C KL I N G)

Of cou rse I don 't m i nd .

You r mother...

You were born a slave .

Don 't go . Don 't go .

because you know someth i ng 's wrong . You 've always felt it.

O ut.

The year of you r bi rth ...

there was a prophecy that ou r leader wou ld be born ...

to l i berate us from ou r bondage .

And so , there was an ed ict from Mem ph is ...

to ki l l every fi rstborn H ebrew boy.

You r parents d id n 't wait for that to happen .

Any chance of you r su rvival was better than no chance .

They handed you to you r sister.

S he took you i n a basket to the ban ks of the river...

and she floated you to where she knew...

P haraoh Paramesse's daug hter, B ith ia , bathed .

B ith ia took you and you r sister, M i riam , as a maid ...

and raised you as her own .

S he probably even loved you ...

but she never told you ,

or anyone else , the truth .

You are H ebrew.

The truth ?

The truth is ,

it's not even that good a story.

And I thoug ht you people were meant to be ...

And then , he told me the most u n bel ievable story.

Then , when pressed ...

he ad m itted that they were H ebrew spies .

You know what I ' m tal ki ng about.

Yes .

And what do you make of it?

I th i n k it's offensive , and I th i n k it's rid icu lous .

You , of al l people , a H ebrew.

(BOTH SCO F F)

And he reports it to you r father,
