Joab?

Joab, what are you doing?

Where's Joab?

Oh, Shalom.

What happened to Joab?

Oh, I'm not sure.

Other than that, the foreman told me he wouldn't be here today.

So I should handle the ramp.

I hope he's all right.

Yeah, me too.

Now, it would have surprised me if you were him.

Joab can't carry a tune.

That's not really my specialty either.

No, I'm saying he really can't. To the point he has to mouth along to the songs

in the synagogue so he doesn't ruin it for everyone else.

Sounds like a very considerate carpenter.

I'm Jesus, by the way.

Thaddeus, stonemason. Oh, that's what you were doing over there with the...

The rock cutting and the stacking and the mortar.

I had no idea.

You know, it's beautiful work that you're doing there.

You can kind of see where Joab's work ends and yours begin.

Those cedar planks are lined up straight.

Kind, but tell me, did this Joab eat your lunch, too?

You can't see him. He lays crooked cedar planks.

He sounds quite terrible.

No, no, he's, uh, he's fine.

Speaking of lunch, it's about that time.

Are you going to take a break? I suppose it is.

May I join you?

You live here in Bethsaida?

Oh, no.

I'm from Capernaum.

That's why I'm working on this job. I've just been camping.

Oh, me too.

You're from Capernaum?

Oh, no.

The camping part.

I was born in Bethlehem in Judea.

I lived in Egypt for a while.

I spent most of my life in Nazareth.

I'll hold for the job. No, no, no.

I don't like to make fun of where people are from.

Really?

I mean, plus, who gets to say they lived in Egypt?

I mean, to me, that cancels out the Nazareth thing.

Oh, there it is.

There it is.

Egypt.

That's a stonemason's wonderland.

All the architecture.

Hmm. Some of it will last.

What?

The wonders of Egypt.

Some of it will still be there, thousands of years from now.

But that's mostly the exception.

I don't follow.

Well, think of the ruins of Jericho, King Solomon's Temple, the lost cities

Fatma, Zeboim, and Zoar, and even the finest stonemasonry.

And the sturdiest cedar planks eventually relent under the assault of

war, and time itself.

This latrine... Sorry.

What was the polite thing they told us to call it? A public amenity.

Yes, this very fine public amenity we're building. In a few thousand years.

No one will even know it existed.

Or that we existed.

Well.

I'm also a rabbi, by the way.

Excuse me?

We are a pair of men building a privy in a small town in northern Galilee.

In a tiny country under the occupation of the enormously powerful Roman Empire.

But what if I told you I have something else in mind for my life and yours?

Like what?

Something that will last.

A kingdom not built by hands. A fortress stronger than stone.

Would you want to join me in helping build that?

This... I don't understand what you're saying.

I mean, you don't have the means to own land or a home, and yet you're offering

to hire me for my services.

Not the ones you're using today.

Then what?

I'm not good at anything else.

That's what you think. That's what I know.

Forgive my boldness, but I'm a little uncomfortable. Why is that?

Because you just... You don't know me.

Yes, I do.

We met a half an hour ago. Join me. In doing what?

I told you.

We lived in a new kingdom.

Just the two of us? No, but I have to start somewhere, and we're better than

here.

And with who better than you?

You can definitely do a lot better than me.

And here, look, no offense to Besseda. I said I don't like to make fun of small

places.

I'm getting back to work.

I have wages to collect for my labor.

Leave with me tonight.

Final offer. You haven't made an offer.

A new kingdom.

Eternal value.

What's the pay?

The pay? Yes, the income, the daily rate, housing arrangements, what you

they're all worked out. There is no pay.

At least not in the earthly sense.

I'm a rabbi.

And I'm asking you to follow me.

It was nice meeting you.

You'd be part of changing the world.

Become part of a family not of relatives, but of blood bonds, just a

Spend your days with some of the most interesting, unfettered,

funny, driven, brave,

nurturing, smart,

strong, passionate,

fiery,

loyal, loving, imperfect people

to ever walk the earth.

You will see and

do things you cannot imagine.

You will be adored.

Needed.

Lost.

And found.

You will live everywhere.

And nowhere.

You will lose friends.

You will lose all your friends.

And your own life.

You will go to the ends of the earth and yet be part of the beginning of the

greatest movement on earth.

People say you were a fool and that I was a fool and that it was all a lie.

They'll call us heretics and liars and frauds.

Others will celebrate and venerate your memory and call you a saint.

But no, no, that's the point.

The point is that you will have said yes to the world's no.

That you hoped against hope and believed against belief.

That you surrendered everything and held fast to the very end.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Thad, they said take an ambiguous and evasive route.

Not the longest one possible. I was the last to leave.

Seven, eight, nine, ten. There is still one more to come, Mark.

Right.

Jones put in his right hand.

Don't you want to be at his left?

No, I'm good.

I'm happy to sit next to you.

We ready for this?

Yes? No.

Ready for what?

Whatever is about to happen.

Only one way to find out. Can we define ready?

Does it matter whether we are ready or not?

Matthew, you've changed.

Who cares if we're ready? I don't know, Philip. It would be nice to know what

we're talking about here. Watch the prevailing theory.

In the water

oh

Don't you think I should keep one of those?

He said two is enough.

Besides, aren't you basically a weapon in human form?

What did he whisper to you? Did you ask him?

He said that the betrayer was the man who he shared bread with.

And that was Judas.

He said it was Judas?

Not by name, just...

The bread thing.

Judas wants the ministry to grow, not stop.

I don't know. It had to be a metaphor.

He also said that you would deny him three times. Before the rooster crowed.

That had to be a metaphor too, right?

Unless you know something that I don't.

All of you, sit there while I go in here and pray.

Do you need anything?

I need to pray, Anto.

Please.

Peter, James, John, please come with me into the Isle of Goof.

You wanted to see me, Governor? No, but I have to.

Well, I could wear a mask, if you'd prefer.

Put that down. It was expensive.

I happen to know this piece was already here when Valerius Gratis was in

residence. That doesn't mean it wasn't expensive.

You summoned me here to talk about art?

The art of cunning. Ooh, spicy.

Is it true that you've been recruiting street thugs to provoke the crowds and

turn the tide of public opinion against Jesus?

Where did you ever get an idea like that?

I have my sources.

You've been spying on me.

Well, I must say, that betrays a lack of trust.

You could have just asked... Why should I trust you?

You're loyal to no one but yourself and Tiberius, but I bet you'd shank him just

like they did Julius if it served your ends.

What are you smiling at? There may be hope for you yet, young Pontius. Just

Pontius, not young.

There may be hope for you yet, Pontius.

I'd be flattered if someone addressed me as young. Yeah, well, you're not.

Neither am I.

This job has aged me. Yeah, let me know when your chest hair goes gray.

Oh, wait, you don't have... Stop right there.

Somebody's in a mood. Why shouldn't I be?

I feel very uneasy about Jesus. It's plaguing every area of my life. Every?

Why are you working with these unsophisticated malcontents from the

Executing three criminals tomorrow isn't enough. You need a bigger win. One of

them is a zealot. No one likes zealots and criminals on either side.

Doesn't make an impact.

Jew and Roman alike, happy to see them go. You didn't answer my question about

these stupid thugs that you've got running around spreading rumors and

and ruining what could be a perfectly peaceful Jewish holiday. We both know

not going to be that.

Whichever way it goes down...

Your only job is to win, and to win definitively.

Which is to say, however dirty you have to play to get there, at the end of the

day, make Rome look like the good guy. Arresting Jesus would do the opposite.

Look, this man, Cofney, and his thugs, they're chaos.

Then why are you working with them? Because their bitterness and resentment

pliable, untrained, artless.

They don't even realize that their anger is actually rooted in their own

shortcomings. It can be weaponized and wielded. Yes.

Back at us.

Sure. Sometimes it can be projected onto Rome, and maybe we deserve it.

They have lost a lot at our hands. But when that proves to be unfruitful, as it

always will, they can just as quickly redirect that anger onto their neighbors

or the religious authorities.

And now...

On to Jesus.

And I'm supposed to take that as good news?

Yes, because in this case, the people aren't going to listen.

Sensible people will see them for who they really are and reject them. All the

while, you remain in a powerful position to keep the peace, to keep the money

flowing, and... and...

Make Rome the good guys.

Congratulazioni, Governatore.

You know, for a spy, you haven't been paying very close attention to the

of the past week.

Jesus is singular.

His very presence in this city heralds a kind of momentous reckoning

that I don't fully understand.

But I know I don't like how it makes me feel inside.

Good. Good.

Molto bene.

You recognize the gravity of this situation.

You're right.

There is a reckoning that's coming.

And when the votes are tallied, you may very well be the tiebreaker, which gives

you a chance to solidify Rome's position while letting the Jews be the chaotic

ones.

You were wrong about me earlier.

Close, but wrong.

Really? You're right, I'm not loyal to you.

But I'm not loyal to Tiberius either.

Or anyone else.

But her.

Her?

Mother Rome.

For this week at least, don't let anyone distract you from her.

No one.

Oh, please do give Claudia my best.

I haven't seen her in a while.

So, are you going to give me your best?

My best, you darling.

I thought you were asleep.

You know I haven't slept in days.

One would never know. You look great.

Why didn't you tell Atticus the real reason for your feelings toward Jesus?

You heard all that?

You weren't quiet.

Yes, I told him it was plaguing every area of my life. And that includes our

marriage by...

Implication. I told you I wanted us to leave.

I can't look weak.

Especially now. He told you you needed to win definitively. And you're setting

yourself up to lose.

So you don't trust me either. You really want me to answer that?

You just need to sleep, darling.

Please. Go back to bed. If you knew what I see when I let myself fall asleep.

Need to stay awake all night too. What things do you see?

Tell me.

The way things are going, Pontius, I don't have to tell you.

Because pretty soon, you'll see for yourself.

This is absurd, intolerable.

Caiaphas, you have no right to convene this body at night and on a high holy

at that. There are exceptions permitted in the event of a national emergency.

One prophet is no national emergency.

Rome is not sacking the temple or burning Jerusalem down. And what if he

actually is the Christ? There is no prophecy that says the Christ.

Comes from Galilee. The scriptures say he comes from the offspring of David,

from Bethlehem. Discredited lineage is the least of his crimes.

Is there no other sane person with tenure here who will speak up against

madness? You're outnumbered.

You don't have a quorum. Sit down.

We are finished here until the temple guard brings him in.

We are not.

Finished here.

Robin Nicodemus.

I see your health has returned. How good of you to join us.

What is the meaning of this unlawful assembly?

Well, take a seat. We'll fill you in. We've not so much to tell you. No.

I have much to tell you.

You almost missed our deadline. We agreed on 24 hours. I have the location.

I can take you to him now.

Tova, send our courier to the Sanhedrin and tell Caiaphas we are on our way to

arrest Jesus now.

Yes, Marcus.

Follow me.

One more important detail.

Yes? No one here knows who Jesus is.

How will you point him out without escalating tension?

The point of death?

Should we get a doctor?

No.

You just said you're on the verge of dying from sorrow. What do you want us

do? Not from sorrow.

Enough. I'm sending for a doctor. No.

The Great Physician himself ministered to me.

You stay here.

Keep watch.

Be near me.

That's all.

We will.

I'm going to go further into the garden to pray.

Stay awake.

Make sure no one can see or hear me. Do you understand?

I'll come back in a little while.

Are you sure? Rabbi, let us help. You can help by trusting me and staying here

to keep watch.

in heaven.

Hallowed is your name.

The time has come, Father.

The time has come.

I'm here.

I'm ready.

I love you.

I'll be right there, Isaac.

I'll be right there.

I can carry that above.

Are you sure?

Yes. You can strap it on my back.

You have to also carry it all the way up the mountain. And pretend you didn't

say that. I'm just trying to help.

All right.

I'm old.

If you say so.

Let's go.

Papa? Yes?

You have the fire, and I have the wood.

But what is the lamb?

God will provide for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.

But how?

He doesn't go through with it, young Isaac.

It was a test.

Father, if it be possible,

let this cup pass from here.

All things are possible.

be another way.

Let this place make a

way for you.

If you are willing.

Lord, be your name.

Simon. You couldn't watch with me for one hour?

I'm sorry, just don't stop for a second.

Do you remember how I taught you to pray?

Of course.

And lead us not into... Temptation.

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.

Did you just call him Simon?

I already said it.

I know that your spirit indeed is willing.

But the flesh is weak.

No, no, it was just a moment.

It won't happen again.

Okay, but I know you want to.

You want to be prepared for anything. We are. But then there is the reality of

the body.

Remember at dinner?

When I told you about the helper that I would send?

The spirit.

I have warned you there is hardship coming.

there could be another way.

But this cup cannot pass unless I drink it.

insecure.

I'm a son of man.

Can these bones live?

Oh, Lord.

Only you know.

If you're willing, remove this cup from me.

Yet not my will, but yours be done.

Hi, son.

be waiting for you.

Still sleeping and taking your rest?

Master, I'm so sorry.

I don't know why this keeps happening.

The spirit is willing.

But the flesh... It is enough.

The hour has come.

Rise.

It's time to go.

Go?

A son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Sinners.

Look, my betrayer is here.

I'm driven.

Alibi! Zee! Stop right there! Get back!

Guys, stay back!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Need something?

Carry this, will you?

Come on.

We don't have all night. All right.

We were going to go to an inn and invite you, but it's fine. You just...

Enjoy the dirt. Enjoy your camping thing. Camp.

Camp away.

Can you believe that guy?

Ridiculous. Unbelievable.

It's this way.

Oh, it's this way. Sorry.

He asked me a question and I said... You said the point. You stated the

question. I can't say anything without everybody getting on me.

There's a reason why we do.

You don't say it kindly.

I seem to remember people singing and chanting.

Sure. Singing, chanting, then screaming.

Screaming, then chanting.

Chanting, screaming.

It was screaming, too.

Some screaming.

Most chanting.

Your definition of chanting is...

They were saying Hosanna. They weren't saying... Is everything all right?

Yes, yes, yes. It's just been a long day.

Give my regards to Rachel.

Rachel?

Rebecca. Oh, right. Yes, I think it's that one.

This is Anus, son of Anus.

I'm sorry about that.

Anus. Anus.

Say it again.

Sorry. Every time.

Every time. Especially you.

Ever since I got hit in the head.

Sorry about that.

How

will

you identify him without...

raising quite tension.

How will you point him out without escalating tension?

I'm going to shoot him.

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground.

and buried his... Ah, well.

It's good to see you again.

I don't suppose you've come to sit and listen to my teaching.

Now, are they supposed to be there?
