THE GREAT FISHERMAN.

Recommended by the National Education Association.

Deep gratitude to the rest of the cast...

and the qualified extras and technicians.

Love and hate, the two biggest forces...

in the heart of man... Today or yesterday.

Arabia... In the memorable days of the first century.

Saidi is the best of your stud, Majesty.

You've harnessed him well, Kedar.

Peace and long life to your reign.

My gift for the princess Fara...

In his birthday.

Yes, for Fara.

But also another way...

to please your mother, Arnon?

Should we not strive to encourage his heart?

It is at rest.

Consumed day by day.

Always Arnon.

A special store for her.

The best pastures for your flock.

Another of the best horses for his daughter Fara.

How many favors for her...

and not one for your own son?

Yes, why not a gift for me?

What gift do you want, Deran?

Only one.

Which?

Fara herself.

King Aretas, on his deathbed...

cursed the day he accepted...

a marriage without love.

He made me swear that Fara...

I would be free to choose.

She will not choose me.

It is smart.

Take care of her as if she were her own daughter.

Stepfather of the daughter of a disgusting Jew.

Herod Antipas.

Care, mother.

You know it's forbidden to talk about this.

Fara could come.

Mother says that Greek is the language of wisdom.

I hope you have correctly translated, lone.

It's perfect, Princess Fara.

You have learned my language so quickly.

Your mother will be satisfied.

I want to learn everything.

And know everything there is to know.

Soon you will go beyond my teachings.

Only the gods know how far.

Saidi.

Saidi is yours.

For your birthday.

Oh, Majesty!

How can I thank you!

You already do it.

With happiness on your face.

I wish we all shone like that.

Mother!

King Zendi has given me Saidi for my birthday.

I loved him since he was born.

You spoil us with your constant attention, Zendi.

Saidi.

We will have such wonderful lives.

Remember that we had a life together...

in the past.

I hope you have a happy day, Fara.

Why do not you ride it now?

I'm looking forward to Voldi.

It will arrive right away.

Yeah right.

Voldi.

As you like dear.

Prince Voldi is here.

May peace reign in your house, Princess Arnon.

And let green pastures feed your flocks.

Fara...

for your birthday.

With jewelry in the handle.

For Saidi.

How did you know I wanted to have Saidi?

King Zendi made me train for months.

It is fast like a panther.

Jump with the grace of a gazelle.

We will see it when it challenges you to a career.

Mother, now you must rest.

I notice too much agitation.

Your daughter already has everything decided.

I leave this house in peace.

I ordered Voldi more than once...

stop fostering the foolishness of Fara.

But he does not listen to me.

What Voldi does is not yours, Deran.

It will be... someday.

What have you said?

When I am king...

I'll make my leg and scratch...

and lick my hand like a puppy.

Remember that Voldi has never hurt you.

He takes Fara.

Can it hurt me worse?

Do not talk like that to your mother.

Fara will never be your wife.

Only an Arab of pure blood will enter the Royal Family.

That is our law.

Then, change the law!

You have the power to do it.

The law is part of our tradition.

There's no reason why you should not ride with her.

If I have it.

It wins me.

He's better than me.

The two win me.

And Voldi will pay for his insolence.

Have you fought?

It will not have hit you, right?

He has never done it.

He knows that the punishment for attacking the heir of the Throne...

is being beaten, stoned and banished from Arabia.

That will never happen to Voldi.

You can protect Voldi from the law...

but you can not change it to marry Fara.

Voldi will not have it.

Your thoughts are dark and bitter.

Silence!

Silence will come to you!

You will not always live! My day is coming!

You prefer Voldi before me.

Because it's better with horses...

and stronger than me.

And who is to blame? You!

Both.

There is something wrong with your marriage.

You never loved.

That's why you had a son like me.

Now I can see two Faras.

One floating in the water, over the sky.

Another, so close, by my side.

And I live with the reflections, Fara.

Day and night.

A face reflected before me...

in water...

heaven...

in the sun on the sands.

Like dreams...

in my heart.

Reflections are not enough.

Dear Voldi.

I swear by all the gods...

who live among us...

in this spring...

on the stones...

in the mountains:

I love you, Fara.

For the god of the Black Stone of the Kaaba...

who knows everything.

You belong to Me.

For ever and ever.

Always.

You are injured?

Only the broken chair.

You can use my chair...

until they fix yours.

Come.

Fara!

I have something for your birthday.

Come.

Is here.

This... is a gift of commitment.

What better place for him than your adorable neck.

At your age it is customary to choose a partner.

I will be the next king.

I have thought of you as my queen.

It is a greater honor than the one Voldi can give you.

Maybe he can not forget.

Forget that?

An obstacle.

Even though I want to marry you, I can not.

I have it forbidden by our law.

Prohibited?

You are not a true Arab.

You are half Jewish.

Your detestable father!

My father is Herod Antipas.

A great king.

He is a slave subjected to Rome...

hateful, immoral and corrupt.

Your actions humiliated your mother...

and they left a stain on you.

You lie!

Everybody knows.

But only I dare to tell you the truth.

Ask your mother!

She will tell you.

That he dishonored her until he got rid of her.

And he married someone as evil as him.

But that does not make you less desirable to me.

Although you can never be my queen...

you can still be...

my favorite.

Much closer than a wife.

Is not true.

Is not true.

Oh, mother!

And you had to find out...

in such a horrible way.

Through Deran.

If I had told you everything when you were younger...

I would not have made you suffer now.

You, mother, are the ones who have suffered.

When I was your age...

Rome conquered the world.

King Herod of Judea...

I was afraid that Rome would attack him.

And he convinced my father, King Aretas...

so that both countries...

old enemies...

form an alliance.

The marriage of his son Antipas...

with me...

would convince Rome of our union.

Your father and I did not see each other...

until the day of the wedding.

We went to Jerusalem to live.

We live in the huge palace of Herod the Great.

You were born there.

I saw Antipas very little.

He did not come to see you until you were 3 months old.

I wanted to change your name to Esther.

He always called you Esther.

One day, your father returned to the palace...

Stop smiling.

Mother, it's Prince Antipas.

I know who he is.

And also others, to your shame.

The entrance of the guard to the palace is not for my daughter.

Nothing exciting today?

I already have it, Lucio.

We'll run in the bunks to the palace.

My porters against yours.

What bets?

A fair exit. Here, from the column.

Porters, let's see if you have...

legs and arms made of steel or lamb fat.

Ready?

Ready!

You lost again, Antipas!

Soft snails!

I've never seen your father's brutality.

But I would still see more strange things.

The Emperor Tiberius...

enraged by Herod's alliance with Arabia...

forced him to divide his kingdom.

And he named Antipas ruler of the fourth part...

with the title of Tetrarch of Galilee.

And to confirm the title...

the Emperor ordered us...

go to Rome to your father and me.

There was an impressive ceremony...

in the imperial audience room.

Me, Tiberius...

Emperor of the domains of Rome...

I confirm you, Herod Antipas...

as Tetrarch of Galilee.

I promise you loyalty, Sire...

and may your wisdom guide me.

That afternoon his stepbrother, Philip, and his wife Herodias...

they gave a party in our honor.

His Majesty Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee...

and Princess Arnon!

Antipas!

What happiness to have you here again!

Herodias.

Dazzling.

Always dazzling.

Arnon, this is Herodias.

Princess...

now that you have Antipas...

I'm jealous of you.

Grievance!

Brother...

I envy you.

My husband, Philip.

High King.

The guests want to meet the princess.

Princess.

I did not choose the guests.

It's Herodias who finds them funny.

His behavior is strange.

They are despicable.

I do not see Antipas.

Not Herodias.

Should we look for them?

If you had not come, I would have gone crazy.

I'm hungry for you since my last visit.

The separation is unbearable.

My life does not satisfy me.

Tetrarch of Galilee!

I would take your eyes out to marry you behind my back.

Do you think I would have chosen an Arab?

Do not.

I was afraid of this.

There was no other way to warn you.

Now that the secret is evident...

do you want to face him or ignore him?

I'm glad you came.

You will apologize to Arnon.

She is our guest.

I apologize.

I apologize for marrying the wrong Herod.

Return to your devastated desert and to your Dead Sea.

Here love is alive.

And hot!

They taught me to erase from my memory...

everything repulsive and frightening.

I have forgiven you.

To both.

Thinking...

my own father.

Why did not anyone chase him?

King Aretas, enraged...

sent his men...

and with Zendi...

they attacked Jerusalem by surprise.

Take me to Herod!

King Herod is dead.

Do not lie to the king of Arabia.

Sire, King Herod died yesterday.

It lies in the Royal Chamber.

We are your Honor Guard.

Where is your son Antipas?

The Tetrarch of Galilee is in Rome.

Then I will see Herod, alive or dead.

Let's burn the palace! Let's burn the city!

Our revenge now is with the living.

I decree an eternal hatred for the rulers of Judea.

And Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee.

And that decree has lasted through the years.

Many of our best young people...

signed an oath of revenge.

One by one, they tried to kill Antipas.

They all lost their lives.

And Antipas, unharmed, still governs.

Three times he demanded that you return with him.

Insisting on returning your place as princess of Galilee.

Princess of Galilee!

I wish I were a man...

to give him what he deserves!

But do not forget...

that there are also men like Zendi and Voldi.

Voldi asked me today to be his wife.

They forbade me to marry the one I loved.

You are free!

Free!

After what you told me?

Secrets that I never knew.

To have a secret is to live in a lie.

Poison, kill.

Do not be afraid.

You will be with yours.

Who are mine?

I am not Arab or Jewish.

Now I know why the girls avoided me.

I heard them whispering.

When I approached, they shut up.

They talked about me.

Voldi can not marry me.

I'm an outcast.

Do not say that.

Do not make the same mistake as me.

Voldi loves you.

And it will protect you.

Surely all will be.

Do not. No, mother, no.

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Lone!

Lone!

"I swear to kill Herod Antipas..."

Tetrarch of Galilee...

"or give up my life."

We have searched everywhere.

No sign of her.

Majesty!

Forgive me if I...

I found this.

It was hidden.

He has taken money...

but none of his clothes.

Fara has dressed like a boy.

I think more than that.

Now we know what he has done.

He has gone to Galilee!

He signed with his own blood.

The road will be full of dangers.

I will sign the oath. And I will bring back Fara.

I have forbidden to go to all.

Deran...

this time it's a matter of decision.

As an heir of the Throne the law prevents you...

risk your life.

Always the law!

Voldi!

You are my king...

but with your permission or without it...

I will go.

If you do not come back, no one will look for you.

Your name will be crossed out, like that of the others.

Sire, will you give me a decree that will free Fara from the oath?

I will do it.

With the hope that you will bring her back.

My beloved son...

may the gods lead you...

and keep you and Fara from harm.

Your father has spoken for me.

Voldi.

You already heard the order. Bring back Fara.

If not, I'll look for you and kill you.

My stable opens all day. Wants food?

Accommodation only?

Sleep up.

Did you like the dinner, excellence?

What do I owe?

Nine dinars, excellence.

I was hoping to find my escort here...

but I can not wait anymore.

Tell my captain that I'm going to Caesarea.

I will give you your message, excellence.

Innkeeper! Innkeeper!

You never killed a man before, right?

I never had reasons.

If you had not arrived on time...

they would have ended with me.

I am Mencius, Roman proconsul of Caesarea.

You are Arab.

Do you travel alone in enemy territory?

Yes. My name is Voldi.

I know that real emblem.

I assume I'm facing Prince Voldi?

I have a deep debt to you.

As you can see, it is not sensible to travel without an escort...

in this ungovernable area.

What can I do to pay...

your great favor, friend?

I have a real order to...

find an Arab boy.

Then, come with me...

to Caesarea...

my headquarters.

I have eyes and ears...

in all Judea.

My agents will know...

of any lost Arab boy.

My search will not end...

until I find him.

Even if I have to go to Galilee.

Galilee!

There is David Ben-Zadok.

A good friend.

He is the judge.

He will know for sure...

of the presence of an Arab boy.

David Ben-Zadok?

Thanks, Mencio.

We will go on the road to Jaffa.

I'm afraid I'll continue alone.

Your company is a pleasure, Mencius.

But I must get to Galilee soon.

Wait, my friend.

My escort.

Proconsul.

Captain.

My friend, Prince Voldi of Arabia.

He just saved my life.

I would like to do the same for him.

Put him under arrest!

Rigorous guard. Day and night.

So you treat who you call a friend?

Believe me, I act in your best interest.

Eight Arab noblemen...

like you...

they tried to assassinate Tetrarca.

If you slip between my fingers...

they will ask me for an account.

Captain!

On the way to Caesarea!

Beautiful horse.

We were looking for one like that.

Go and bear worthy fruits...

of repentance.

Do not demand more than what is fixed for you.

Do not extort...

to nobody.

Do not accuse anyone...

falsely.

Because one more powerful than me...

is coming.

The one to whom I am not worthy...

to untie the strap of His sandals.

Definitely...

He is here now.

Then, tell us...

John the Baptist...

are you not the Messiah?

Do not.

I am not him.

I am the voice...

who cries out in the desert.

Prepare the way to the Lord!

Straighten His paths!

Repent!

And follow the path.

Amen.

Friends...

I'm looking for an hour of solitude.

I will be back.

Someone always comes to save the world.

But things are still as bad as ever.

I believe that man, I will listen to him again.

You're hurt.

Let me help you, daughter.

The horse was stolen.

They beat me.

It was hours ago.

A strong blow

I'm better now.

Drink water.

Thank my Lord.

And some food.

They also took my money.

I can not pay you.

I will already be compensated.

Why did you cut your hair?

Why did you dress like a boy, daughter?

You are the first to call me daughter.

But maybe not the first to know.

Your nice suit attracts thieves.

They are everywhere.

They besiege everyone.

Except for ragged beggars...

and dirty camel drivers.

You are running away.

I will...

what I have to do.

I see that you obsess.

Invade your spirit.

I'm going to Galilee.

I'm late now.

In Galilee...

There is One I speak for.

Find him.

You need him.

On my trip, you are the only...

that you have been kind to me.

I will do what you tell me.

I will not forget you.

My prayers go with you, my daughter.

Roar what you want! Here we go!

Andrés, take the helm.

Safe and sound, Juan.

The worst has happened.

I have prayed, Simon.

I prayed and I thank God for saving me.

Thanks to whom?

Thank me for saving you...

and God for the storm.

A waterway!

Simon!

There is a waterway.

You have to throw the fish.

Do not! And leave it to the seagulls?

Left the candle!

We will return to the shore and close it tomorrow!

Pick it up fast!

Where do you come from, boy?

How dirty you are!

You tremble like a rabbit.

Come on, help me.

I like you.

Come on!

You do not shoot more than a grasshopper.

Do you have an empty stomach?

Go and eat something.

You will find food in the shack.

Not there. That is tar.

On the pier.

And do not eat it all.

Bring the small bucket!

Juan! Bring the bucket!

These guys of yours...

What's wrong with you, Juan?

Still thinking that God saved you?

That look on your face.

Did you bear the sermon of the carpenter of Nazareth?

You took the morning off yesterday.

So you were with those terrible fanatics?

You're weird for weeks now. Were you there or not?

Yes, I was there.

All right.

What did you get out of it?

It was very strange.

What is strange? Speak clearly!

He did not speak loudly.

Not like the scribes.

He seemed to speak to everyone.

Even me.

Yes.

As if he spoke directly to me, only to me.

Nobody spoke before like this.

I do not care about your talk.

What did?

I told you, but you did not believe it.

I'll believe you, Juan.

Seriously, I believe you.

Guys, guys!

Wait.

Follow.

There was a man...

with a paralyzed arm.

He healed the man, before our eyes.

He had it well, and strong, like the healthy arm.

I don't believe it.

If your father Jonah lived, he would believe it.

It was the most religious in the city.

Yes.

He was religious of my money.

And you think I'm going to swallow...

what does that religion account?

If you think I'll let you do the lazy and walk...

flapping around like a sick fish...

you can go with him.

If you work with me, you will not go back to that preacher.

I will return at the first opportunity I have.

Well, your opportunity is now.

I do not need you anymore.

You will not die by a slap on the ear.

Simon, you should not have done it.

Juan has the right to believe what he wants.

And I also.

You both speak as one.

What is good for Juan is good for you?

Yes.

Well here you have it.

You have done something horrible because of your bad character.

You say it because they are your children.

They have been working for you since they were twelve.

You taught them how to navigate, how to fish, everything they know.

You were like his brother.

They love you.

I do not usually hit them.

I know you treat them like that.

You should be ashamed.

Better go. I'll finish what's left.

Can I tell you that you feel it?

Do not. Because I do not feel it.

I forgot the new boy.

It must be my day to hurt people.

Stand up, boy.

Too weak to be a fisherman.

But you will have to be until someone arrives.

Come on!

Go heating the pitch. I will return to help you.

Take the basket.

Come on boy.

Hannah!

Here is where I live.

My wife died.

Hannah, her mother, takes care of my house.

Hannah!

Who is this?

My new assistant.

He needs to bathe and eat something.

This dirty boy will not enter the house.

Wait a minute, Hannah.

I have a problem.

Juan and Santiago do not work for me anymore.

I said goodbye.

No, Juan and Santiago!

Yes. And they will not return.

Simon...

He could not swallow his way of acting.

But they worked...

Hannah, today I can not stand anymore!

I have enough temperance, but I need help.

And if it's not for the storm, I would not have this one either.

I'll make him as good a fisherman as Juan and Santiago.

Have a good bath.

Here is fish for us.

Today I will do the casting myself.

In an hour I must be caulking the boat.

I will stay on board at night.

You will come back for breakfast.

Yes.

Come on.

Do you have lice?

Fleas?

Enter here.

Stay in the center and do not touch anything.

I will bring hot water.

And a limestone to rub.

Throw your clothes out the window.

I'll pick them up outside.

Did not you wear anything under these horrible clothes?

Yes. But I can wash it myself.

Give it to me.

I'm waiting.

Silk!

Youngster!

Yes?

I suspect something about you.

You're a girl.

If I...

I am.

All right.

In the trunk there are clothes that belonged to my daughter.

You'll like to look like a girl again.

Yes I would like it.

Thank you.

Come out, come out!

Why do you dress like a Galilean?

Because tonight all the guests are Galileans.

Influential Galileans.

You must give an image of...

humility, serenity...

and home life.

Home life! LOL!

And there is no need to lavish your...

intimate affections.

They will not appreciate your...

seductive talent.

Usually you are not so worried.

But tonight!

It has come to my ears that some Galileans...

prepare a written protest against Rome...

against my government.

Then arrest the traitors!

I... I do not know them.

I'm afraid to do it.

There is something...

something exciting in Galilee.

An incomprehensible concern.

People hear strange voices...

a remarkable madman named...

John, John the Baptist.

Now another has arrived...

that they call Nazareno.

Can it be he, the Messiah?

Born in Bethlehem.

Of which the three wise men prophesied...

that would reign over everything.

About you, a ragged one?

Silence them!

Shut them, shut them! And throw me more enemies...

And even more:

That John the Baptist...

the Jordan has come down...

and has indisposed Pilate against me.

Pontius Pilate!

The Roman careerist chosen by Tiberius...

to rule Judea instead of you.

I wonder why you never accept the truth.

Since my divorce from Arnon...

without an alliance with Arabia, the Emperor changed.

Promotes his men instead of me.

And if we invite to visit some friends of Rome?

The most influential before the Emperor.

We will entertain you with wine...

and they will have all the delicacies.

Let them see that you created prosperity in this jungle.

Then they will inform Tiberio that you, and not Pilate...

you must govern all Judea.

Yes.

That has logic.

And now we have to keep working.

My bitterness dissolves with a better mood.

Our simple Galileans...

have arrived.

Now remember:

Humility, serenity...

and home life.

Is everything going well in your region?

Are people satisfied?

Greetings, magistrate.

I have something to show you.

Look over my shoulder.

Do you know that man in the corner?

I never saw him before.

He joined us when we arrived.

Does not matter.

Yes. These ancient Greek scrolls...

They just arrived.

A Roman general sends them to me from Parthia.

What is your opinion?

Rare treasures, I'm sure.

It seems that they contain...

certain prophecies.

Could you translate them?

If you were qualified, of course...

but I know very little Greek.

I do not know much either.

What a pity.

And you sir...

I do not think that...

I have a message for you.

From Arabia!

A good leaf.

But not so strong as to...

pierce the copper breastplate...

and leather that I always wear.

A thoughtful gift from my wife.

His blow was good...

but it was too high.

My heart is not...

so big.

Your name?

Ashari al Asheed!

A noble family.

Willing to lose one of their own.

Other hands will attack until...

Princess Arnon is avenged.

A family threat.

I am sorry.

The hospitality of my house...

it will be brief.

We have guests.

Out of sight.

You have had a lot of courage in the face of danger.

The risk of his life is something...

for which a ruler must be prepared.

I never know...

behind...

what murderers are going to attack me.

As on eight occasions before...

of which I have interesting memories to show you.

If you want to follow me.

The silent obituaries of eight Arab noble fanatics.

All with the same design.

None reached its goal.

This dagger is the ninth.

We will never finish those Arabs.

They are relentless.

Intolerant.

And they never forget.

You are that boy.

She is Esther.

Esther who?

Where you come from? Who you are?

I know everything I need to know about her.

What is she doing with those clothes?

I gave them to him.

Well... You can keep them.

Pretending to be a boy, cheating on me!

Take your things and leave.

Please, Simon, I want you to stay.

Trumpets.

It's the Tetrarch.

Exhibiting his guards...

and all your dress clothes.

When he returns from Caesarea he will receive his friends from Rome.

I heard it yesterday, near the palace.

Could I see him?

I would like to see you.

He wants everyone to see him.

They told me that someone tried to kill him last night.

It happened before and will happen again.

I want to see him

I will go with you.

Simon, are you coming?

First I'll finish the breakfast.

Is this the murderer of the Nazarene?

Give way to His Majesty.

Herodias comes, his wife.

The Tetrarch wants to know your name.

I will answer for her.

It belongs to my family.

Ah, the great fisherman!

I will inform Your Majesty.

His Majesty is always interested in a pretty face.

Esther

I present to our neighbor and friend...

Judge David Ben-Zadok.

I would like to introduce you to my sister.

He is very kind, sir.

I'm sorry, but I must go.

I will return your daughter's clothes and I will go.

Go!

Who said something about you leaving?

Hannah needs company.

You will stay with her.

I have to distribute fish.

Golden wine!

Another drink for our well-deserved party!

Free of "yes, Your Majesty"!

Whatever Your Graceful Majesty wishes!

Did you say "young"?

Yes sir. And beautiful.

In that case, it is my official duty to receive it.

I am Lysias, Chamberlain of His Majesty.

They told me you wanted to see me.

I'm looking for work.

All right.

Your name?

Esther.

Do you have training as a cook, maid or...

assistant to high-ranking people?

Do not.

But I...

Nothing of "I thought".

So, what are your qualities?

If I could choose...

aya of children.

Children?

There were never children in the palace and there are not likely to be any.

I read and write in several languages.

What laguages?

Aramaic...

Greek.

Greek!

How did you learn Greek?

My... A woman...

that I lived with my family...

in Idumea...

I teach Greek.

Idumea?

I'm visiting friends in the city.

We will see that Greek.

Come with me, dear.

This is Her Majesty's private office.

How many parchments!

He has read them all?

Any. They have more dust than readers.

He often sits here...

with the excuse of an interesting reading.

But I found him in this chair...

his favorite retreat, with a parchment in his lap.

Fast asleep.

Nevertheless...

this matter is very different.

These are ancient Greek scrolls.

And His Majesty is anxious to know the content.

He ordered me to find someone qualified to translate them.

So I'll give you a test.

What word is this?

Regards...

To my brothers...

in Damascus.

You really know Greek!

They look like ancient scriptures.

Annotations of a prophet.

Your... prophecies.

Prophecies!

His Majesty is a great believer in prophecy.

You have been told that these scrolls can...

shed light on your problems.

I think you're ready for the job, Esther.

You're very attractive.

You will be welcome to this house and you will only answer to me.

I hope to have results when Your Majesty returns.

You will not be able to complain about your salary.

You can sit here.

There you have writing material.

If you need anything...

shake this bell.

Devastation that... It comes from far.

With the strength of my hand...

I will destroy the power of the wicked...

and the scepter of...

diabolical ruler.

As my guest in Caesarea...

this will be your house, my friend.

A prison?

Yes. But we have spacious accommodations...

for high ranking prisoners.

You will be confined here...

at least until the Tetrarch...

leave the city.

I will order my agents...

to inform me of the presence...

of any lost Arab boy.

At least I'll thank you for those reports.

You do not have to stay so late, Esther.

And the rain increases.

I want to finish this roll.

Your Majesty will soon arrive with your guests.

I have never seen a Roman.

Could not I look...

from the balcony and leave right away?

I will trust your discretion.

Despite the rain, the usual onlookers are out...

waiting to see Tetrarca.

I'll be careful.

Do not we have enough wicked people in Galilee...

without having to bring more from Rome?

Sire.

Your Majesty.

Woe to the Crown of Pride...

that will be trampled!

I think it's the prophet, Sire.

Are not you John the Baptist?

What some call the prophet.

I am.

And I warn you:

Flee from the wrath to come.

What anger, prophet?

Listen to my words, Herod Antipas.

You live in sin. In adultery.

It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

Defend our honor.

Kill him!

He is a prophet with many followers.

It would not be sensible to provoke the people more.

Explain it to our guests.

In which country are there no fans?

This crazy man from the desert.

Let's go friends. Lysias will show you the way.

Take a glass of wine.

You have swallowed this insult to me.

Guards!

Get him!

Take him to the dungeon. Put a strong guard.

No harm will be done.

Insane scoundrel!

He dares to insult me in my own house.

Newly incorporated at your service, Sire.

Good morning, Esther.

Very early today.

I do not know why I have to serve that crazy man.

We do not have grasshoppers or wild honey...

for that John the Baptist...

but the Tetrarch orders that it be well treated.

Merca!

I will gladly carry the tray.

Welcome your help.

It's in the dungeon at the end of the garden.

Thank you, my daughter.

You have been present in my thoughts.

And in my prayers.

I expected us to meet again, but...

how have you...?

I work in the Palace.

I saw how they arrested you.

I can not sleep.

I will help you escape.

I know that your intention is good.

But that will only create more problems.

My followers will be persecuted.

Many of them, killed.

For your sake, I must stay.

Is there no way to help you?

Maybe my work is already done.

The one who paved the way...

is now here.

I beg you, daughter.

Go to Him.

Listen to him.

And believe.

I have not seen Simon in two days.

He is living in the boat.

Do you think he will come here sometime?

I doubt it.

But in any case I think it's good to be here.

And you?

A man, always good to me...

called John the Baptist...

he asked me to come.

I see nothing.

Maybe we can listen.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst...

of Justice...

because they will be satiated.

Blessed are the merciful...

because they will achieve mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart...

because they will see God.

Blessed are those who work for peace...

He is already talking.

Because they will be called children of God.

Blessed when they insult you and persecute you...

and lie with evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and rejoice...

because your reward will be greater...

before you persecuted the prophets.

I have not come to abolish the Law or the prophets.

I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients:

You will not kill.

And whoever will kill...

will be guilty of trial.

You heard that it was said:

Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.

But I tell you not to resist the evil one.

Whoever hit you on the right cheek...

also return the other one.

And who wants to denounce and take off your tunic...

leave the cloak too.

And whoever forces you to carry a load for a mile...

go with him two.

To the one who asks you, give him.

And whoever wants to borrow...

do not refuse it.

You heard that it was said:

You will love your neighbor...

and you will hate your enemy.

But I tell you:

Love your enemies.

Bless those who curse you.

Do good to those who hate you...

and pray for those who insult you and persecute you.

I'm going.

That you may be sons of your Father...

that is in the Heavens...

and that makes his sun rise on bad and good.

You, then, will pray like this:

Our father who art in Heaven...

Hallowed be thy name.

Let your kingdom come.

Thy will be done...

on earth...

like in the sky.

Give us today...

our daily bread.

Forgive our debts...

how we forgive our debtors.

Do not let us fall into temptation...

and deliver us from evil.

Amen! Amen!

Master, what is the main Commandment?

You will love the Lord, your God...

with all your heart...

and with all your soul...

and with all your mind...

and with all your strength.

That is the first Commandment.

And the second is similar:

You will love your neighbor...

as yourself.

You have spoken the truth.

Your name will be called Admirable...

Adviser...

Prince of Peace.

I came as a judge...

but you are beyond my power.

I honor and respect you.

Please help!

Someone help me!

Leave me the boy.

My son is blind.

I wanted to get to the Nazarene.

I will take the child.

We'll see what he can do.

Let me pass.

This child is blind. Open step.

Let me pass.

My son!

Let me go with my son!

My son can see!

The boy was blind, was not he Simon?

He could not see.

If you admit us, Simon...

Juan and I would like to go back to work.

It was time!

It was time!

Simon!

Andrew!

Juan!

Santiago!

God!

Follow me.

And I will make of you...

fishermen of men.

How long do you want to stay here?

Have I not been generous with my hospitality?

I gave you freedom to ride with me daily...

Freedom?

Surrounded by your guard?

Proconsul...

an email from Pontius Pilate.

That enters.

The Governor sends you greetings and this letter.

Our greetings to the Governor.

Now I can answer your question.

Pilatos recommends deporting you in custody to Arabia...

and give yourself to the king...

King Deran.

King Deran?

"What happens to his late father Zendi on the Throne."

Zendi died.

He is a second father to me.

Deran.

And you will be interested to know...

that Deran is paralyzed.

Why this order?

Pilate has decided that your presence here...

does not contribute to peace.

And I agree.

You will leave in the morning, under strong custody.

I really will miss you, Voldi.

I know you have to do your duty, Mencius, but...

and my search for the Arab boy?

If only he knew what happened to him!

I can understand your concern.

You are looking for a beautiful girl, but...

Would you risk going to prison for a girl?

No!, but I imagine you facing any risk.

I will never forget when you rescued me from the bandits.

You looked like a man with three arms!

And you!

You...

you looked like a belly dancer...

with fleas in their hair.

Of course finish the dinner, Mencius.

I saddled the horses for our ride.

Oh yeah! I'll take this guard with me.

Would you help us with the horses?

Can you adjust the girth?

Proconsul!

The Arab has fled.

Quick, twelve men under my command.

I'm coming with you.

Where are you going to Galilee?

I see that he does not like Arabs.

But the Romans persecute me.

Romans, I hate them more.

Go down that road.

It's not good, but... It is more secure.

My thanks.

Has an Arab passed by here?

Not a long time ago.

What way was it?

For that one.

Absorbent, huh?

Your work absorbs you, is not it?

Yes it is.

Your Majesty...

I seem to have...

Sit, sit down.

What is your name?

Esther

Esther

Esther.

Here is Lysias.

Sire.

I think the work progresses in plain sight.

All these translations so far.

Yes, definitely.

Lysias, could not you get...

a more suitable dress...

for Esther's appeal?

Of course, Sire.

But I like it that way.

Tonight we give a party to my guests in Rome.

I thought you would like an evening of...

abandonment.

I...

You will have more than one facet in your nature.

The most loving facet.

With pleasures different from the intellectual ones.

I find you without a doubt... charming.

It seems that I have you in my memories.

In some place.

Does not matter.

Sire, I...

I found that...

these scrolls have many strange prophecies...

Yes, that's what they told me.

Yes. One I just translated it.

I'll read it someday.

If His Majesty has time...

I will read it now.

If you like.

"The voice of the prophet spoke:."

The Day of Judgment has arrived.

Devastation that comes from afar.

With the strength of my hand I will destroy...

the power of the wicked...

and the scepter...

of the diabolical ruler.

A curse will fall upon the kingdom.

Thorns will cover the palace...

that will be purple...

of the beasts of the desert...

and garden for owls.

Satyrs will call each other.

And the shadows will cover the stones of confusion...

and empty.

The wicked are like the rough sea, which does not rest...

and its waters throw silt and mud.

There is no peace for them.

And who is this?

Esther, the Greek scholar I told you about.

Translate the ancient...

scrolls.

Our guests are coming to the banquet.

What is that for?

I thought Esther would like our evening.

We already have women with a lustful look...

that you bring from the dens of Damascus.

Just to entertain the guests.

Do you want to entertain our guests?

Why not a human sacrifice?

Judge that false prophet in the dungeon.

And give it the treatment it deserves.

You can go.

And do not come back while our Roman friends are.

Majesties.

This girl is not Greek.

I do not trust her.

I do not trust her!

You will not kill.

And whoever will kill...

will be guilty of trial.

I do not want to do it...

Voldi.

Voldi!

Fara.

Fara, I swear to all the gods...

who live in these mountains...

that I love you.

I love you.

My prayers go with you, my daughter.

Judge that false prophet in the dungeon.

And give it the treatment it deserves.

I must warn you.

I must warn you!

Where is your voice now, false prophet?

The prophecy.

The Judgment!

Prophecy!

Superstition!

Fear!

Our guests leave! Hold them!

Do not!

Think of the reports to Rome.

Your future.

This is my future.

About the kingdom...

a curse will fall.

The satyrs will be called...

one another.

The satyrs will be called...

one another!

Teacher...

what happened to the Baptist?

Truly I tell you...

that there are not among those born of women...

greater prophet than John the Baptist.

But they did not know him...

and they did with him...

everything they wanted.

So also the Son of Man will suffer.

Do not! Not Master! You do not!

Do not fear those who kill the body...

but they can not kill the soul.

I send you like sheep in the midst of wolves.

And then, preach.

Say that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

Heal the sick.

Clean the lepers.

Resuscitate the dead.

Cast out the demons.

You received grace.

Give of grace.

Contemplate:

The Kingdom of God is in you.

Who do they say that I am, the Son of Man?

Some say you are Elijah.

Others, Jeremiah.

Or one of the prophets.

But who do you say that I am?

You are the Christ.

The Son of God alive.

Blessed are you Simon, son of Jonah...

because this has not revealed to you the flesh or the blood...

but my Father who is in Heaven.

And I in turn tell you...

that you are... Pedro.

And on this stone I will build my Church.

And the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.

And I will give you...

the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.

What will hit us later?

Now this Tetrarch.

Assassins and prophets.

Where can we find security?

Not even in the Temple itself.

Look.

The people are scandalized.

Why?

Why did not that God prevent this evil?

In my country...

we do not expect divine justice.

We take care of ourselves.

Why do not we dare to pass that judgment to God?

You have spoken with wisdom.

Simon.

I only used my scales to weigh fish.

But I've learned that...

the scales of Justice...

weigh the conscience and the acts of man.

There are the actions of men.

The soldiers of the Tetrarch.

Esther.

Go to your houses! Leave the square free!

No one will be hurt.

David, take Esther to your garden.

The Arab. Get him!

You will pay with your life to enter Galilee.

Do not!

Go back!

Go back you.

Did this man hurt you?

To you or to any of you?

He is your neighbor.

Listen to how He said it.

Who has complaint of his brother without cause...

will be guilty of trial.

Come, sir.

I've seen men make their way with steel.

But only with words never.

Many have felt my knuckles in their heads.

But that was before.

Those days are gone.

Men are born to live in peace.

But you always have to remind yourself.

I do not know why he did this for me.

But can I ask you something else?

I am Prince Voldi.

I'm looking for an Arab boy.

A boy?

A ragged boy?

I can help you about a boy.

But she's the most unusual girl I've ever seen.

Where is she?

We will find it...

in the garden of my friend, David Ben-Zadok.

David Ben-Zadok.

They gave me that name.

This is my home.

Simon!

What a fever!

Magistrate Ben-Zadok.

This is Prince Voldi.

Voldi!

Fara!

Fara.

Voldi

I found you at the end.

Voldi, Voldi, Voldi.

I have come to take you.

He called her Fara.

The circle has been completed.

It is, as I suspected, the princess Fara of Arabia.

Our Esther, Princess Fara?

An Arab!

Then, she is also in danger.

As much as you, Simon.

You gave him shelter in your house.

And I will continue doing it.

You are released from your oath.

Nothing can free me until I do.

I will take your place.

I signed it too.

They will discover you and kill you like the others.

Nobody suspects me.

I work in the Palace.

They know me as Esther.

I have planned every movement and I will not fail.

Only then will I be able to return to Arabia with you.

We will never go back to Arabia.

Our great friend Zendi has died.

So, Deran is king?

Impeded by paralysis.

Knowing what it was like before...

how should it be now?

He never had an adequate education.

We will look for a new home.

In Greece.

Or anywhere else.

We will never separate again.

I was imprisoned in Caesarea.

I escaped last night.

The Romans persecute me.

We have to help these young people.

The Tetrarch soldiers saw you coming here.

I will hide you in my boat.

There you will be safe.

David!

Someone important asks about Prince Voldi.

Still!

Do not move, my friend.

As you can see, the garden is surrounded.

This is the proconsul Mencius, of Caesarea.

Magistrate...

this man has harassed me for weeks.

And I say it's an abuse, just like...

by chance, I found a beautiful girl...

in this peaceful garden...

and you interrupted us.

Who is this young woman, David?

A neighbor... and my guest.

Your name?

My father called me Esther.

Esther is from my family.

He is my neighbor, Simon.

A good man.

And a disciple of the Nazarene.

Listen to me, Roman.

If we are all enemies of all...

and we started killing each other...

soon no one will be left.

And all the things that...

Heaven has given us...

they will be wasted.

And it's not a good idea.

Then, you and I do it in another way.

And you can go back to Rome, where it comes from.

I forgive you the gall for my friendship with David.

Voldi, I made a mistake...

by not asking you to say that you would not escape.

Why did you come to this particular house?

You gave me the name of David Ben Zadok.

Yes, I do.

You said he would know something about the boy if they found him.

Did they find him?

It's my duty to arrest him too.

No. I give you my word of honor.

I did not meet an Arab boy.

Romano, it's time...

honor your word...

that this man, whom he calls a friend, will not be harmed.

My orders are to escort him properly...

to return to your country immediately.

I see that you are determined to ruin...

the only pleasure I have found.

Although I did not know Esther...

I will always remember these moments in the garden.

I leave this meeting with sorrow.

But my heart tells me we'll see each other soon.

May peace be with you.

And with your families.

Captain!

Do not let them take it away.

Easy, Esther.

Simon.

Do not get away from her.

I should know more about this popular uprising.

Later, I have to make an official visit...

to His Majesty.

Choose six men.

Ride all night and arrive in Arabia tomorrow.

Give Prince Voldi only to King Deran in person.

At least he is safe from the spears of the Tetrarch.

Safe?

They deliver to their worst enemy. And mine.

I will follow him...

on the fastest horse...

even if I steal it from Tetrarca.

Wait.

They will take the road that surrounds the coast.

With favorable wind...

my boat will arrive before the Arab side.

I'll be ready, but...

first I have to do something in the palace.

Simon!

Esther!

Hannah calls you.

I'm afraid he's dying.

Do not!

No, Hannah!

Please!

Please, do not take Hannah.

She has all Your love in her heart.

My sentences...

they are never answered.

God will listen to you.

You believe, Simon.

Do you believe.

I was not given the power to heal.

When we are closer to Heaven...

we should pray with all our hearts.

Please, it is Your will that Hannah be healed.

Hannah!

Hannah!

Get up.

Teacher, I called you...

and you came.

I will be with you forever.

Too weak?

It's okay... and resting.

A hot broth will come in handy.

Surely you will believe now.

I did it...

for a moment...

when my mother died and...

and by Voldi.

We can still recover Voldi.

I'll have them prepare the boat.

You can not come with me.

In my country you would be stoned.

The hope of the Master...

is to heal the hatred of all peoples.

And there is not one more bitter than that of Arabia and Galilee.

Deran is cruel.

More than the Tetrarch.

The Master did not promise...

that the road would be easy.

We will leave in one hour.

Yes.

In an hour.

You will not kill.

Love your enemies.

You will not kill.

I will always be with you.

You will not kill.

You will not kill.

Esther!

Esther?

Herodias.

Lysias!

Who's there?

Esther.

It's you.

Come here.

Why are you here?

At these hours.

I was younger then.

Arnon.

My wedding gift.

Like you...?

Where did you get it, tell me?

You must forgive me, I...

These days when...

the tension clouds my mind, I...

And I almost believed it.

You are the return of Arnon.

You are like her.

Arnon was my mother.

Fara!

Are you Fara?

That explains my strange attraction to you.

Oh, Fara!

Maybe you know that...

three times I sent for you.

To give you your rights as my daughter.

Yes!

But your mother refused and...

educated you like an Arab.

He turned you against me.

You look at me like it's...

A murderer?

You destroyed my mother.

Now I understand why you have come.

You come to fulfill that prophecy.

Wait!

Let me tell you something.

We all find death one day.

But daughter...

when you're finished...

the killer's anguish...

you will support it.

A heavy anguish...

lined with thorns, I know.

And you will suffer...

like me.

And you will hear voices.

Voices of Judgment devouring your ears.

As I hear them.

Those young Arabs.

John the Baptist.

Yes, your own mother.

Warning of what is to come.

I have heard a voice.

Yes, from whom?

The voice of one in the mountain.

A voice that says:

"You will not kill."

But we do not believe in that, do we?

My only inheritance is...

eye for an eye...

hates your enemy...

destroy, conquer, kill.

But He says:

"Love your enemy."

"Bless those who...

they curse you."

"Pray..."

for those who...

with malice...

they outrage...

and they persecute you...

Pray for them.

Pray for them.

Pray... for them.

Are you crazy.

Guards!

How have you passed between my guards?

You knew that I...

I know it.

That you have won

Esther has...

come out of me.

I am free.

Never more an outcast.

Never more half Jewish half Arab.

I'm Jewish...

galilee, roman, greek.

All of them.

Like everyone.

Everybody?

I am only...

what I have always been.

Simon.

Take care of my daughter.

As an envoy of the Emperor...

this writing to Herod Antipas...

certify my authority, granted...

for the seal of the Emperor.

There are many words...

whose content can not disclose us.

And many evidences of your misgovernment.

And finally, that execution of John the Baptist...

that caused a rebellion of the people.

What else?

I and my guards will escort you to Jerusalem.

There you will be under the jurisdiction of Pontius Pilate.

Pontius Pilate.

A king of Galilee...

under a Roman governor.

Conveniently soon...

Rome will rule all of Palestine.

The prophecy.

Is it our long way...

To exile?

Or to death.

Jews!

We come in peace.

Gandra!

Do not you know me?

Princess Fara!

Sorry.

And welcome.

Prince Voldi and Roman guards...

they came through here a moment ago.

Prepare two fast horses.

We are on your diposition.

Your horse.

Evil overshadows our land...

since the unexpected death of King Zendi.

They found him in the quicksand.

In the quicksand?

And it is rumored that they let him die.

One that had a lot to gain.

One who suffered the punishment the next day...

of paralysis.

I get it.

Please, Gandra...

take care of the boat until he comes back.

I have summoned the notables to judge you.

You did not fulfill your oath to kill Herod Antipas...

or give up your life.

Do you deny it?

Of all those who went to that mission...

you are the only one who has returned alive.

You have not brought Fara either.

As my father ordered you.

Now you disobey your king.

I sentence you to be flogged...

until you tell me where to find Fara.

I'll make your body bleed.

Get him!

Whip him!

Fara!

Voldi.

Fara.

Give him back to prison.

I will receive the princess Fara.

Closer, Fara.

Let me see you.

I come to ask you to release Voldi.

Your representation moves me deeply.

But there is a condition.

I wish you more than ever.

As a king I can challenge all laws.

You will be my queen and wife.

I can not be your wife.

You have made your choice.

A very unfortunate...

for Voldi and for everyone.

Majesty.

A foreigner, a Galilean is here.

He is my friend.

Simon Peter, a disciple of the Nazarene.

The Nazarene.

Beware, it can be a trap.

In response to our attempts to kill the Tetrarch...

this galileo can come to do the same with you.

Leave this to me.

I've heard about that Nazarene.

Rumors came when the caravans returned.

They say he has the power...

to heal the sick and heal the cripples.

And the power to redeem.

You have seen it?

I have seen a...

recovered... from death.

Simon is his disciple.

He also has the power.

I will receive you.

Majesty:

Simon Peter, from Galilee.

I do not come to you as a Galilean enemy...

but as your neighbor.

In the hope that we are...

brothers in peace.

That is my hope.

You see, I can not walk.

Help me, Simon Peter.

Can you heal me?

To heal you...

you must first have faith in God...

because only He can heal you.

Yes.

Yes I accept.

God requires honor...

and justice.

Yes... Anything.

I promise anything.

I will do anything to walk.

You see?

I will free you, Fara...

of any demand.

Adviser.

Can you hear me?

You are witness to my secret oath.

I will release your son, Voldi.

Here you have. My ring is guarantee.

Everyone will obey him.

Listen to my warning.

If you do not keep your promise...

something worse will fall on you.

I will fulfill it.

I will be grateful.

I will walk again.

Like the rest.

I believe.

I have faith.

I feel that you really have faith.

In the name of the Most High.

Lord of everything.

I tell you: Get up.

Get up and go.

Father...

we consecrate this new force.

Now rest.

Yes. I'll rest a little.

I will rest.

Reward this man.

I have my reward.

You have my respect and gratitude.

Yes.

Yes!

Now I believe deeply, Simon.

Why do I still feel darkness inside of me?

The seed has been sown.

That is hope.

It has fallen on fertile land.

My work here is done.

I beg you, go away immediately.

Not without Voldi.

This ring gives me authority to free him.

He will join you right away. Iros!

Now.

My princess.

Yes... I can walk.

I'm getting stronger.

Oh, my son!

Thanks to the galileo.

The Galilean?

He would not have made me walk...

if I had not had the power in me.

Does that god give powers to a villain and not a king?

I would have walked when I wanted to.

You will see those who say that I am weak!

You will see my counselor!

Guard!

Call my counselors...

and send for Princess Fara.

She has left.

It is gone?

Where?

Ilderán!

Ilderán!

Where is the princess?

Can I remember His Majesty...

who made a secret oath...

releasing Fara from any demand?

Bring Voldi here.

By the same oath, Sire...

Voldi is free and has left.

I will make you come back!

Summon all the bosses!

Attention!

Listen to your King!

Prisoner Voldi has escaped.

Princess Fara has left without my permission.

I order you to find them.

Search every corner of Arabia.

In each, hill, mountain or valley.

Find them and bring them back.

Have you heard me?

I am your king by divine right!

I order it!

Obey me! Go!

Do you dare to disobey me?

Treason!

Treason!

The punishment is death!

You will die.

You will all die!

I think he is dead.

Let's leave until you're sure.

"Something worse will fall on you."

"Something worse will fall on you."

So, this is your will?

Rebus, Duma, take part.

Sire!

Sire...

the Council asks you to come back right away.

Why do you call me Sire?

King Deran is dead.

You are the King of Arabia.

Fara!

Fara, come back.

You will be a great king.

Only with you by my side!

You can not start reigning by breaking your own laws.

Then I will renounce the Throne!

No, Voldi.

We must bring a new peace.

You to the Arabs and I to the hearts of the Jews.

One day I will find you!

I'll go with you, Fara!

Someday.

Wonderful day to fish.

You will love the Lord, your God...

with all your heart...

and with all your soul...

and with all your mind...

and with all your strength.

And you will love your neighbor...

as yourself.
