They are coming for him.

The king.

To kill him.

My baby!

My baby, please!

You. Stop.

Show me what's inside.

- No! - Move along.

What awaits us when we turn at last to death?

For years we live in hiding.

Driven from every home.

You have shown him here to walk the Earth

and threaten their Gods with such presence.

And he does so threaten them.

He bears a power he cannot understand.

A power I cannot contain.

Calamity follows us.

Guide me.

Let me keep them under my protection.

Let my faith endure.

Please.

My only strength to bear...

against the devil itself.

It is well made. I can provide you work.

We must prepare it for the temple.

You will not make an idol.

Your God will forgive you.

That's the work available.

I found work and a home for us.

Look, Mother.

I've never seen one like this before.

Thank you.

What is your name?

Lilith. She is mute.

Go and help your father, my child.

Beautiful boy.

You do not look alike.

What's wrong, Father?

Where are you from?

From the west.

Beyond the desert.

We will be in darkness now during the day.

It's better than some alternatives.

It has been years. We are safe here.

You forget that we can be discovered.

I do not forget.

But he does not have to live in fear.

Lilith, come in!

Why do you do that, Father?

If an evil spirit were to enter the house at night...

the footprint of a rooster will appear in the sand.

Why did you lie to the neighbor about where we came from?

It was to protect you.

Stay away from them.

Did you wash your hands? The dirty will go mad.

You should pray.

I did.

The Carpenter If ever you are in error,

you must seek his forgiveness.

Father.

I am fasting.

This time you do the same, you're of age.

I do it to make myself empty.

In emptiness you find the strength

to bear against Satan.

What does Satan look like?

Like people amongst us.

It can manifest as a very thing that appeals to our weakness.

Have you ever seen it?

I made arrangements with the rabbi here.

He expects you after the Sabbath.

You will help him at school.

It is me, my love.

Shh.

I know. Come.

It's me.

I know.

Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

Put away from you crooked speech,

and put devious talk far from you.

Let your eyes look directly forwards,

and your gaze be straight before you.

Let your eyes look directly forwards,

and your gaze be straight before you.

Keep straight the path of your feet,

and all your ways will be sure.

Keep straight the path of your feet,

and all your ways will be sure.

Do not swerve to the right or to the left.

Turn your foot away from evil.

Take care.

That is heaven above.

- Oh, that is the- - - Earth.

Earth beneath.

Oh, that is the water unto the Earth.

You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,

visiting the iniquity of the fathers

upon the children. On to the third and fourth generation.

Get down.

Get down. You will hurt yourself.

Are you going to help me?

What is your name?

Why are you not in school?

Your father does not make you go.

I have no father.

A mother?

I play games all day.

Will you play with me?

He is a leper.

Wait.

We must not touch the unclean.

See how close you can draw your hand?

It's a game.

Shh! It's all right.

Go on. Try.

He touched it! He touched the unclean!

He touched the unclean!

Stay away! Stay away!

Each year, I walk beside him

and see only the tarnished human man.

Pure...

and clean...

human.

Please, tell me, from whence did he come?

Is he from your angels...

or from demons?

Is he your son?

Wake up!

You're screaming in your sleep.

Let me sleep in the house.

You can sleep in the house

when you stop screaming.

Let me go inside.

It was a dream.

Even by your age, you cannot see the difference?

Pray. Now, go on.

Do it properly.

Do it as I taught you.

You who live in the shelter of the Most High,

who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,

- will say to the Lord... - To the Lord...

My refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust.

Again.

You who live in the shelter

of the Most High w...

- Abide... - Will abide

- in the shadow... - Shadow...

Shadow of the Almighty,

- will say to the Lord... - Of my refuge,

my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

Boy.

You healed me.

Please.

Touch me.

Touch me again!

Please be quiet, be quiet.

You are divine. You are divine. You are divine.

You are divine.

You must leave.

You are divine. You are divine.

- You are divine. - Please go, please.

Please go.

Touch me, touch me, touch me.

I found an offering outside our home this morning.

What did you do with it?

I hid it in the reeds.

It's not safe here.

We'll make his name plain to all.

He's a boy.

He's unclean.

He defiles himself, always covered in filth.

You want him to take roots and learn?

Let him. Why offer him only punishment?

I find no joy in punishing him.

It's how he must learn.

Duty, faith, sacrifice.

Must teach him these things.

Why do you avert your eyes from me?

For modesty.

The boy is divine. The boy...

is divine.

The boy is divine.

The boy is divine. The boy is divine.

They're not too short.

One apiece, as you said.

One and one half. That is what I said.

You told me one apiece.

Price was ten per shelf.

The length is incorrect.

Make it eight, then.

I don't want it.

Why not?

You pushed me.

You liked it.

Didn't you?

Games of the Gentiles are forbidden.

Who forbids you?

My father.

He is your oppressor.

Keep it...

as a secret.

To do things in secret is a greater pleasure.

Do you want to know why?

I know one that can free you.

Find me among the Sith.

Come!

Come!

My faith has become a broken crutch.

I beg you.

How much longer must I wait to see your light again?

Lilith!

Lilith!

Help us!

Help us! Somebody help us!

You! You did this! The boy! The boy!

What happened? Let him go.

Did you enter their home?

How dare you accuse- -

Did you or did you not?

No.

I don't believe him.

I don't care if you don't believe me.

Father.

Where did you get this?

- Pray! - No.

Begin.

W... why should I listen to you?

I know you will not listen to me,

but you will listen to your mother,

and she listens to me.

I will leave with her.

You may leave, but she will not go with you.

I will set you out alone into the wild,

where you can roam as you wish!

Which direction would you take?

How... how would you find drink?

You would be a beggar in hiding, asking for alms

from sickly priests who feed their sacred crocodiles

and mumble to their idols, or you would be dead!

Without my protection

you would be dead!

We must leave!

What more must you see?

I tell you, we must leave.

Good.

We will leave in a few days, once the work is finished.

He's innocent.

How do you know he is innocent?

Because of our faith.

Because we know who he is.

But is it good? Is it righteous?

He is our savior.

You will deliver him to his task.

You came.

I want to show you something.

Lilith...

...is she dead?

She is resting in that long shadow

of sleep that is near to death.

She will be dead soon.

You could help her.

Man's punishment.

What have they done?

They are accused of sorcery.

Conjurers of evil deeds.

Isn't it strange?

How whilst we're all made of the same flesh...

...bones...

blood...

Then some of us become wicked.

And some of us become good.

Yet what is it to say that a man is wicked?

It means only that you have given up

on trying to understand it.

I will know this in Golgotha.

Does this frighten you?

No.

It saddens me.

I can feel their pain.

And yours.

I must return to my father.

He is not...

He is not what?

He is not your father.

Who are you?

You know who I am.

But who are you?

What do they call you when you are out of sight?

I have been searching for you

for so long.

They have lied to you!

You will learn that I speak the truth!

Speak to me.

Let us leave together. I could protect you.

I know you can.

You would find the same people anywhere we go.

We will leave soon.

It is your father's wish.

Is he my father?

- Why would you ask that? - Is he?

Who put that in your mind?

- Who? - A child.

What child?

A child who lives among the sick.

Is he my father?

Yes.

He is.

You are lying to me.

Speak.

- What is your name? - Mm...

Speak!

What do you want from us?

Have you come to kill us?

Who did this to you?

Can you kill me?

Please.

If you'll not kill me, then leave me.

Leave me!

The evil, the outrage, the vulture,

the... the buzzard, a kite of any kind.

You.

Go.

Begin.

- Every raven... - No.

Do it from memory.

Every raven of any kind,

the ostrich, the night hawk, the seagull,

the... the... the... the hawk of any kind, the...

- Do you not know? - I know, I know.

Then speak it!

Speak!

You are a liar!

You do not know.

I know more than how to speak these words.

Is this not the carpenter's son?

What has he done?

I will not teach him.

He spoke of things that no one should know.

Unhand my son.

Leave him.

What did he say?

I told him how many years he will live.

I don't want him near the children.

You will not be idle.

If I am forced to have you by my side

each day whilst I work,

I will see to it that you are of value here.

Recite the Melakhot.

Speak them to me whilst I work.

Go on.

Take heed and carry no burdens on the Sabbath.

You shall not light a fire on the Sabbath day.

- You shall not... - You may list them.

Sowing, ploughing, reaping...

...gathering, threshing, winnowing,

sorting, grinding, sifting,

kneading, baking, shearing, whitening,

disentangling, dying, spinning,

mounting the warp, threading two threads,

making loops, tying a knot, untying a knot, sewing, tearing,

trapping, slaughtering, skinning.

Get out.

You follow no man, so be it.

Go be a man alone.

What happened?

What happened to him?

What have you done to him?

What have you done?

It's all right.

You squeal like a hog!

You're not safe here. You must leave.

I will tell the world about you.

You shall not judge!

Only I shall judge.

It was nearly finished.

It fell and broke, but I will finish it.

I... I will finish it. Take your things.

- Leave now! - Why?

Your son is Belial! He's a conjurer.

He has gone into the village. They will kill your boy!

What did you do, my son?

Speak to me.

What have you done?

- What have you done? - Leave him!

He who is near him is near the fire!

What did you do? Practicing black magic!

- What have you done? - Leave him!

Demon!

You have always doubted him, even before he was born.

- Just as you doubt me. - Any man would.

Go on, weep.

Do you not believe your own visions?

It is no more potent now

than a dream.

How long must I wait for another?

And what then if none of it were true?

Then I have been living beside an unclean woman

for all this time.

What if that were the truth?

Then I am just as unclean as you!

You are wrecked with doubt!

Yes, I am! I am wrecked!

My faith has been shattered because of you!

And that boy!

How can his providence be good if he sins?

Let me make my way.

From whence did he come?

I told you, let me pass.

Let me pass!

Is he the son of a Roman? Is he a bastard?

From whence did he come?

- From whence did he come? - You coward!

You were always afraid! Greatly afraid!

If I had sinned and you concealed it,

you would have fought Herod's law.

But if you'd exposed me to the sons of Israel as guilty,

whilst my child was from angels,

you would have given up its holy blood

to the doom of death!

Prepare our things. They're coming.

Come back!

We must leave!

Where have you gone?

Come, come, there is no time.

Stay back!

Tell me who my father is.

He is the cause of all things.

Tell me his name.

It is a sin to say it.

Speak his name.

Yahweh.

Wait!

Come back!

Come back!

He's here! I found him!

I found him!

I found him...

You know the truth now.

Come.

I'll take you to your father.

No!

Where's my son?

I will find him.

Where's my child?

Someone told him the truth.

He ran away.

It was a child among the sick who told him.

I will find him.

Wait.

Bless you.

You are sad.

I miss my family.

They hate you now.

But there is freedom in knowledge.

Do you know now that man is cruel?

The things they do in his name make me sick.

I killed a boy.

Coming here.

He was going to alert the village.

No.

This place is a cage...

of every unclean and hateful bird.

You...

you freed him.

I have freed many souls from this awful place as well.

Tell me about my father.

I knew him.

I resided near him.

I...

was a very beautiful thing.

Such a thing I cannot describe in words.

He... shunned me.

He would let no one be his equal.

But he prepared a home for me.

There is purity in that place.

Order.

Now you are with me.

We will go there together.

Who are you?

I am the accuser of light.

I am the adversary.

Look ahead.

Tell me, what do you see?

Nothing. It is a shadow.

No. It is a passage.

Set your anchor.

Look upon it.

Now enter it.

Tell me, what am I?

Evil.

And why am I here?

To torment me.

Yes.

And now tell me my name.

Satan.

I have seen you before.

I will humiliate him.

Leave him.

Why do you care for him?

He lied to you!

- Keep away from this beast! - Be silent!

You are cruel.

Cruelty is a virtue.

Look.

He reveres me for my cruelty!

Because he fears me!

Inspire fear.

It will bring you legions.

Go on! Kill the liar!

Do it!

And I will tell you everything you want to know.

Very well.

No!

Come! Come for your son!

He ignores me!

He does not love us!

He does not love you!

Yeshua...

Yeshua!

Spare this beast.

It means to tempt you.

You must teach it

that you will not bring our strength

to bear for evil.

You must forgive it.

Let me go.

What awaits us when we turn to death.

Dust.

You will die for miserable people.

And you will not be thanked.

We are the same.
