- Ha, ha!

- Faster, you beasts!

You run like mules.

- Hey, Rameses, how'd you like your face

carved on a wall? - Someday, yes.

How about now?

You almost killed me!

Oh, come on.

Where's your sense of fun?

Oh, it's fun you want?

Whoa!

Whoa! Aah!

Ohh. Moses?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Come on, you.

Whoa!

Come on, Moses. Admit it.

You've always looked up to me.

Yes, but it's

not much of a view.

Hyah! Whoo!

Hey!

- Second born, second place.

- Not for long.

Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Aah! Aaah!

Jump!

Whoa!

Whoo!

You don't think we'll

get in trouble for this, do you?

No, not a chance.

Why do the gods

torment me...

with such reckless,

destructive,

- blasphemous sons?

- Father, hear what I...

Be still!

Pharaoh speaks.

I seek to build an empire,

and your only thought

is to amuse yourselves...

by tearing it down.

Have I taught you nothing?

You mustn't be so hard on yourself, Your

Majesty. You're an excellent teacher.

It's not your fault

your sons learned nothing.

- They learned blasphemy.

- True.

Father, the fault is mine.

I goaded Rameses on,

and so I am responsible.

Hmm.

Responsible.

Do you know the meaning

of that word, Rameses?

I understand, Father.

And do you understand the task for which

your birth has destined you?

The ancient traditions.

When I pass

into the next world,

then you will be

the morning and evening star.

One damaged temple does not

destroy centuries of tradition.

But one weak link

can break the chain...

of a mighty dynasty!

You have my leave to go.

Father.

Father?

You know it was

really my fault.

Must you be so hard on him?

Moses, you will never

have to carry a burden...

like the crown

I will pass to Rameses.

He must not allow himself

to be led astray,

not even by you, my son.

All he cares about is...

Is your approval.

I know he will live up

to your expectations.

He only needs

the opportunity.

Maybe. Maybe so.

Go now. I shall

see you both tonight.

- Well, that went well.

- Just go away.

Could have been worse.

"The weak link in the chain."

That's what he called me.

Well, you are

rather pathetic.

Irresponsible,

ignorant of the traditions.

He practically accused me

of bringing down the dynasty.

Yeah, I can see it now.

There go the pyramids!

You can laugh about it.

Statues cracking and toppling over.

The Nile drying up.

Single-handedly, you will manage to bring

the greatest kingdom on Earth to ruin.

Tell me this, Moses.

Why is it that every time

you start something,

I'm the one

who ends up in trouble?

Ah, man! Oh.

- Ah, it's Rameses. You're in trouble.

- Get down here!

- I think you owe us an apology.

- Oh, my new thing!

- I am so upset!

- You might as well.

- You'll pay for this.

- We're gonna tell the Pharaoh!

Hmm.

- Oh, look at me. I'm drenched again.

- Hey. I figured it out.

- You know what your

problem is, Rameses? - What?

- You care too much.

- And your problem is, you don't care at all.

Oh, in that case, I suppose

you care a lot more than I do...

that we're late for the banquet,

for example.

I'm done for.

- Father will kill me.

- Don't worry.

Nobody will even

notice us coming in.

" Nobody will

even notice."

Ah, the young princes.

Rameses, you were just

named prince regent.

You are now responsible

for overseeing all the temples.

I suggest

you get over there...

and thank your father.

Apparently, Moses,

someone thought he...

just needed

the opportunity.

My lord Pharaoh.

I propose that the high priests

offer tribute...

to their new regent.

An excellent idea.

Hotep! Huy!

- Huy.

- Hmm?

- The Midian girl.

- That's a good idea!

Go get her.

By the power of Ra,

we present for your

delectation and delight...

an exotic apparition

stolen from a faraway land.

We offer you this

delicate desert flower.

Let us inspect

this... desert flower.

More like a desert cobra.

Not much of a snake

charmer, are you?

That's why I

give her to you.

- No, that's generous, but...

- I won't be given to anyone.

Especially an arrogant,

pampered palace brat!

Are you going to

let her talk to you like that?

You will show the proper respect

for a prince of Egypt.

But I am showing you

all the respect you deserve...

None!

No. Wait!

- Be still.

- Untie this rope!

- I demand you set me free!

- Be still.

- Let go!

- As you wish.

Aah! Ohh!

You there!

Have her dried off...

and sent to

Prince Moses' chambers.

If it pleases you,

Father, my first act as regent...

is to appoint Moses...

as royal chief...

architect.

Well...

Right.

Shh. Come on.

Guards.

Prince Moses.

Uh...

there's a-a man

tied up in my room.

- Well, look into it.

- Right away, sire.

Please, I need water.

- I have a long journey ahead of me.

- May God protect you.

Thank you.

Hut-hut.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I...

Oh, please forgive me. I...

I didn't expect

to see... you...

here, of all places,

at-at-at our door.

- Mmm, at last!

- At last?

Didn't I tell you, Aaron? I knew he

would return to us when he was ready.

Miriam, do you

want us flogged?

I knew you cared

about our freedom.

- Miriam! - Freedom? Why would

I care about that?

Because you're...

Well, you're our brother.

- What?

- Be...

- They never told you?

- Who never told me what?

But you're here.

You must know.

- Be careful, slave!

- Oh, my good prince.

Um, she's-she's exhausted

from the day's work.

Uh, not that it

was too much.

We... We quite

enjoyed it.

But-But she's confused

and knows not to whom she speaks.

I know to whom I speak, Aaron.

I know who you are.

- You are not a prince of Egypt.

- Miriam.

- What did you say?

- Your Highness, pay her no heed.

C-Come, Miriam.

May I discuss something with you?

No, Aaron. No!

Please, Moses, you must believe!

- That's enough.

- You were born of my mother, Yocheved.

- Stop it.

- You are our brother!

Now you go too far.

You shall be punished.

No! Please, uh,

Your Highness.

She's ill. She's very ill.

We beg your forgiveness.

- Please, Miriam, let us go.

- No, Aaron.

Our mother set you adrift

in a basket to save your life!

Save my life?

From who?

Ask the man

that you call "Father."

- How dare you?

- God saved you to be our deliverer.

- Enough of this.

- And you are, Moses. You are the deliverer.

I said, enough!

You will regret this night.

Father, tell me

you didn't do this.

Moses,

sometimes,

for the greater good,

sacrifices must be made.

Sacrifices?

Oh, my son.

They were only slaves.

Moses?

Is this where you found me?

Moses, please try

to understand.

So... So everything

I thought,

everything I am, is a lie.

No.

You are our son,

and we love you.

Why did you choose me?

We didn't, Moses.

The gods did.

Last night, the gods

granted me a vision.

I'm not merely going to restore

this temple, I will make it more grand,

more splendid

than any other one in Egypt.

Aah.

- Get up!

- Aah!

Moses! Look.

Fate has turned our little misadventure

into a great opportunity.

- Get up, old man!

- Father will be so pleased...

Put your back into it!

Faster!

This is just the beginning.

A gateway will open to an entire

new city of white limestone,

more dazzling than the sun.

And here, a statue of Hapi.

I said, hurry!

- Two great column halls.

- Stop it!

- Somebody's got to stop this!

- There's nothing we can do.

Stop it.

Stop. Stop it!

- Leave that man alone!

- Moses!

Out of my way.

Out of my way. Move!

Who did this?

Up there! It's him.

Up there.

Moses!

Moses, what's going on?

Moses!

Moses!

- Moses!

- Let me go!

- No, wait. - You saw what happened.

I just killed a man.

We can take care of that.

I will make it

so it never happened.

Nothing you can say

can change what I've done.

I am Egypt, the morning

and the evening star.

If I say day is night,

it will be written,

and you will be

what I say you are.

I say you are innocent.

What you say does not matter.

You don't understand.

I can't stay here

any longer.

- Moses!

- No!

All I've ever known

to be true is a lie.

I'm not who you think I am.

What are you talking about?

Go ask the man

I once called " Father."

Moses?

Please.

Good-bye, brother.

Moses!

Moses!

No.

Aah!

Aaah!

Hey, wait.

Please.

Ohh!

Oh!

What are you doing?

- Help!

- Let our sheep drink!

Leave us alone!

Get away!

Stop it!

My father's

the high priest of Midian.

You're going to be

in big trouble.

- Aah!

- Hey, you.

Aren't these your camels?

- Hut-hut!

- No, no! No, no!

- Wait!

- Wait, stop!

Whoa!

What are you girls doing?

We're trying to get the funny man

out of the well.

Trying to get the funny man

out of the well.

Well, that's one

I've never heard before.

Oh, my.

Oh, uh, don't worry down there!

Uh, we'll get you out.

Hold on!

You.

Huh?

Ohh!

Mm-hmm.

That's why Papa says

she'll never get married.

You don't have to do this. Ladies,

please, I'm really... I'm really quite...

No, not there, please.

That tickles. Ladies,

you've cleaned every inch of me.

Whoa, I... I was wrong.

Let me through. Let me through.

I want to see him.

Ah! You are most welcome.

You should not be

a stranger in this land.

You have been sent

as a blessing.

Tonight, you shall be my honored guest.

My father, Jethro,

High Priest of Midian.

Psst. Sit with me.

Um, all right.

Psst. Not yet.

- Oh, sorry.

- My children,

let us give thanks

for this bountiful food.

And let us also give thanks

for the presence...

of this brave, young man

whom we honor here tonight.

Please, sir, I wish you wouldn't.

I've done nothing in my life

worth honoring.

First, you rescue Tzipporah

from Egypt,

then you defend my younger

daughters from brigands.

You think that is nothing?

It seems you do not know

what is worthy of honor.

Mmm.

I love you.

Ahh!

It's too early for this.

Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

Here I am.

Take the sandals

from your feet,

for the place on which you stand

is holy ground.

Who are you?

I am that I am.

I don't understand.

I am the God of your ancestors,

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

You were born of my

mother, Yocheved. You are our brother.

What do You want with me?

I have seen the oppression

of My people in Egypt...

and have heard their cry.

Stop it!

Leave that man alone!

So I have come down

to deliver them out of slavery...

and bring them

to a good land,

a land flowing

with milk and honey.

And so, unto Pharaoh,

I shall send...

you.

Me? Wh-Who am I

to lead these people?

They'll never believe me.

They won't even listen.

I shall teach you

what to say.

Let my people go!

But I was their enemy.

I was the prince of Egypt, the son of

the man who slaughtered their children.

You've... You've chosen

the wrong messenger.

H-How can I even speak

to these people?

Who made man's mouth?

Who made the deaf, the mute,

the seeing or the blind?

Did not I?

Now go!

Oh, Moses,

I shall be with you when you

go to the king of Egypt.

But Pharaoh

will not listen.

So I will stretch out

My hand...

and smite Egypt...

with all My wonders.

Take the staff

in your hand, Moses.

With it,

you shall do My wonders.

I shall be with you, Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

But, Moses,

you are just one man.

Tzipporah,

please.

Look at your family.

They are free.

They have a future.

They have hopes

and dreams...

and the promise

of a life with dignity.

That is what I want

for my people.

And that is why

I must do the task...

that God has given me.

I'm coming with you.

Rameses.

Moses?

Is it really?

Moses!

- Rameses! - Where have you been?

I took you for dead.

Look at you!

Pharaoh.

Well, look at you.

What on earth are you dressed as?

Oh, Rameses,

it's so good to see you.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

We are compelled to remind you this man

committed a serious crime against the gods.

We are loathe

to bring it up, mind you.

The law clearly states

the punishment for such a crime...

- Death!

- We hesitate to say it.

Be still.

Pharaoh speaks.

I am the morning

and the evening star.

Rameses.

It shall be as I say.

I pardon forever all crimes

of which he stands accused...

and will have it known

that he is...

our brother Moses,

the prince of Egypt.

Rameses,

in my heart,

you are my brother,

but things cannot be

as they were.

I see no reason why not.

You know I am a Hebrew, and the God

of the Hebrews came to me.

What?

He commands that you

let His people go.

Commands?

Behold... the power of God.

Well, uh, impressive.

Hmm.

Very well, Moses.

I'll play along.

Hotep. Huy.

All right, Moses.

I know you.

What's this really about?

Rameses, look.

What do you see?

A greater Egypt

than that of my father.

That is not what I see.

Moses, I cannot

change what you see.

I have to maintain

the ancient traditions.

I bear the weight

of my father's crown.

Do you still not understand

what Seti was?

He was a great leader.

His hands bore the blood

of thousands of children.

Hmph.

Slaves.

My people.

And I can no longer hide

in the desert while they suffer...

at your hands.

So...

you have returned...

only to free them.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

I had hoped...

that...

I do not know this God.

Neither will I

let your people go.

Rameses, please,

you must listen...

I will not be

the weak link!

Tell your people

as of today...

their workload

has been doubled,

thanks to your God.

Or is it thanks...

to you?

It's Moses.

Moses! Ohh.

So, Moses,

how does it feel when you

get struck to the ground?

I didn't mean

to cause you more pain.

I'm just trying to do

as God told me.

God? When did God start

caring about any of us?

In fact, Moses, when did you start

caring about slaves?

Was it when you found out

that you were one of us?

Don't listen to him.

No, he's...

He's right.

I did not see because

I did not wish to see.

Oh, you didn't see because

you didn't wish to see.

Ah! Well, that makes everything

fine then, doesn't it?

Aaron!

You shame yourself.

Miriam.

I'm so sorry.

Moses,

hear what I say.

I have been a slave...

all my life,

and God has never

answered my prayers until now.

God saved you

from the river,

He saved you

in all your wanderings,

and even now He saves you

from the wrath of Pharaoh.

God will not abandon you,

so don't you abandon us.

Miriam.

Where are you going?

M-Miriam.

The ball disappears.

Where is it? In his hand.

Rameses!

Let my people go!

Still gnawing away

at that bone, are we?

Carry on.

You cannot

keep ignoring us.

Enough! I will hear no more

of this Hebrew nonsense.

Bring him to me.

- Moses!

- No!

Take the staff

in your hand, Moses.

Father.

- It's...

- Blood!

Blood! Oh, blood!

Hotep! Huy!

Explain this to me!

- Ah!

- Rest assured, Your Majesty...

Uh, yes, we were going to

demonstrate the superior might...

of our gods.

Uh...

By the power of Ra!

Abandon this futile mission,

Moses.

I've indulged you

long enough.

This must now be finished.

No, Rameses.

It is only beginning.

But, Moses, d-didn't you

see what happened?

The priests

did the same thing.

Pharaoh still has the power

over our lives.

Yes, Aaron, it's true.

Pharaoh has the power.

He can take away your food,

your home, your freedom.

He can take away

your sons and daughters.

With one word,

Pharaoh can take away

your very lives.

But there is one thing

he cannot take away from you:

Your faith.

Rameses?

Rameses?

Oh. Let me guess.

You want me to...

let your people go.

I hoped

I would find you here.

Get out!

Rameses, we must

bring this to an end.

Rameses, please,

talk to me.

We could always talk here.

This place.

So many memories.

I remember the time you...

switched the heads of the gods

of the temple of Ra.

If I recall correctly,

you were there switching heads

right along with me.

No, it was you.

I didn't do that.

Oh, yes, you did.

You put the hippo on the crocodile,

and the crocodile...

- On the falcon.

- Yes!

The priest thought it was a horrible

omen and fasted for two months.

Father was furious. You were

always getting me into trouble.

But then...

You were always there to...

get me out of trouble

again.

Hmmph.

Why can't things be

the way they were before?

Father.

It's so dark.

I'm frightened.

Why is he here?

Isn't that the man

who did all this?

Yes.

But one must wonder...

why.

Because no kingdom should be made

on the backs of slaves.

Rameses, your stubbornness

is bringing this misery upon Egypt.

It would cease if only you

would let the Hebrews go.

I will not be dictated to.

I will not be threatened.

I am the morning

and the evening star. I am Pharaoh.

Something else is coming. Something

much worse than anything before.

Please, let go of

your contempt for life...

before it destroys

everything you hold dear.

Think of your son!

I do.

You Hebrews have been

nothing but trouble.

My father had the right idea

about how to deal with your people.

- Rameses...

- And I think it's time I finished the job.

- Rameses! - And there shall be

a great cry in all of Egypt...

such as never has been

or ever will be again!

Rameses, you bring this

upon yourself.

God has come

to me again, saying,

"Take a lamb...

and with its blood...

mark the lintel and posts

of every door,

for tonight...

I shall pass through

the land of Egypt...

and smite

all the firstborn.

But when I see the blood

upon your door...

I will pass over you,

and the plague

shall not enter."

You and your people...

have my permission to go.
