[Music]

morning

we have searched all the houses in this

neighborhood your highness and there are

nowhere to be found

your highness we've searched the entire

house there's no one here

tonight we must search each of their

houses as well as their family's houses

let's go to juventus house

oh jupiter the great

if we find them i will sacrifice a dog

in front of your temple tomorrow

hey

the way is possible and then we can

decide where to go

there are a lot of places to hide in

this very forest

no they will search each and every inch

of this forest tomorrow hold on a moment

let me see

do you know a village by the name of

rakhim

yes

a jewish spy told us about that village

his name was azoril he said he saw you

praying in a cave there

what is the story of this jew

he was a jewish spy who was unfortunate

enough to fall into our hands

we discovered he knew too much so he

took care of him and made sure he takes

his information to the grave

so it was you who stole pluton's body

and destroyed

the sculptures in the temple also

we felt we had to do something um

yes let's go let's go

[Music]

stop

you go that way

[Music]

and you go in that direction

the rest of you follow me

[Music]

how do you know this shepherd maximilian

i have only known him for a short while

but it feels as if we've known each

other for years do you think this

shepherd's home is a safe place

for us to hide yes

this is unusual dogs usually bark at

strangers but this dog is quiet

maybe this is because it has seen me

once before with its owner

who is it this early in the morning

that is antonious i'm coming

you your highness maximilian

what are you doing here greetings to the

honest antonius

do you want uninvited guests

this hut is not worthy of such

prestigious guests

look welcome to my humble abode

please grace me with your presence

please

oh come here please go inside welcome

welcome

oh welcome welcome welcome

clear the way

there are you all maximilian's fellow

believers

what religion does maximilian adhere to

oh god whatever i said

oh what i meant was making you afraid

antonio

these are all my friends

tamika martinus

i thought for a moment that i'd given

away

a maximilian secret in front of

strangers anyway welcome everything i

have

i offer to you please

forgive my humble offerings we are

honored

to be guests of antonius the kind and

pure

oh how i wish my father were alive to

see so many noblemen embrace his

religion

do not tell me the diocletian is

christian as well

it is best that we tell you the reason

why we're here please go ahead

we are not here as guests in truth

we are fugitives

we are fleeing deocletian and his guards

you have escaped what crime

have you committed offending the emperor

and the gods of rome yesterday in the

presence of the emperor

we voiced our beliefs and ruined the

festivities

being held in his honor

no i cannot believe this you defied

the emperor how did you escape

how is it possible to flee from that

many guards

it is a long story i told my friends you

might be

able to help us

me yes yes i would be honored to be able

to

to help maximilian to end your

highnesses

we are all advisors to deocletian do you

know what the punishment is for helping

and harboring the emperor's enemies

whatever it is i am not hesitant

providing a hideout for my dear brave

friends

is the least that i can do

but i think i'm staying here

is dangerous for antonius

philadelphia is not far from here

i am certain the guards will be here by

tomorrow

you won't be able to leave the emperor's

territory

even if you travel on foot for an entire

month

during the several days that i went to

meet maximilian in the cave

i learned so many things from him

and i was so charmed by his character

that i am prepared

to accept any danger to help him

and his friends you can

stay here in this humble hut for as long

as you wish

as you can see i live here alone

antonius

why do you live alone

where are your wife and children your

family

i do not have a wife or children

actually i did want to get married

to every home that i went to well they

told me

they would only grant their sheep to me

and not their daughters

our daughters are not sheep that's what

they said to me

[Music]

they thought that i wanted to take their

daughters with me

through the desert with my sheep

[Music]

now that you have detached yourself from

those who worship

other than god take

refuge in a cave so your creator

can bestow his mercy upon you

and set things right

what is going on what has happened to

maximilian

maximilian you seem to be deep in

thought

take refuge in a cave

so your creator can bestow his

mercy upon you

and set things right

cave

what made you think of a cave

i do not know but

something within me tells me we must

take refuge

in the cave

where is this cave that you're speaking

of

the same place i always go

mount angelos

the nearby mountain

is it safe there we have to get going

perhaps he who guides us has put this

thought

in my head

the villagers are beginning to wake they

will see you stay here until evening

if we stay until evening the guards will

arrive

who can that be quiet

don't worry it's probably one of the

villagers

wanting to know why i'm late help

yourself to some milk

i'll answer the door

i'm coming

antonius where were you did you fall

asleep

why what's happened what has happened

the villagers have brought their cattle

out of their homes and are waiting for

you are you not going to the desert

today

oh yes yes i am

you go ahead i'll be along shortly so

hurry up

you go so they don't have to wait any

longer and i'll come shortly

go

who was it it was

one of the villagers i sent him away

before the sun rises fully we can leave

and if you allow me i will come with you

hey

why do you want to join us is it really

necessary to put yourself in danger

i didn't have the chance to destroy the

idols

the least i can do is join those who did

and anyway you will be in need of a good

servant

you are our friend and brother there is

no reason for you to come with us

you have committed no crime i have only

just found you

i cannot let you go so easily we will

not take you with us

for you to insist is useless

it would make us happy for you to join

us but if arrested

you will be stoned to death why do you

want to be stoned without good reason

friends

we will leave one at a time i will leave

first

i will watch from the mountaintop to

make sure you do not lose your way

antonius

god be with you god be with you your

highness

god be with you antonius the shepherd

god be with you

goodbye god be with farewell goodbye

god be with you god be with you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

stop

stop a few of you must go thoroughly

search the underground chambers

the rest of you watch the perimeter get

going quickly

there is nobody here

there's nothing here let's go

there's no one there sir sanctus

you and one other soldier must head in

that direction

and you go that way and the rest of you

follow me

get going

[Applause]

no

go

[Applause]

what is this who are those people

climbing the mountain

where are they going

they are strangers

hey go animal

hey

did you see how they refused to take me

with them

they were worried for my life

is my life really worth worrying about

no no i do not think so

we must be worthy to travel alongside

men of god

and i am unworthy they are willing

to sacrifice their lives in the name of

god

their path is the path of god but i must

focus on my existence and busy myself

with this

meaningless life

they have turned their backs on the

false gods and idols

and are heading towards the one god but

i have

anchored myself to this world i think if

i had insisted

they would have agreed to take

me with them do you not think so kadmir

you think it is a good idea to follow

them

it is true that you are an animal and

you do not have the ability to decide

it is only natural that you shake your

head without knowing why

[Music]

but i have the ability to know the

difference

i know that their path is the path of

god

so why am i sitting here

[Music]

[Applause]

i must go

get mare you must stay here you must

take care of the sheep

until their owners come for them

[Music]

[Applause]

go back kidmia go go

go back go

[Music]

why are you following me go back

why don't you listen to what i tell you

go back kidney you must look after the

sheep

please go back the herd needs you

go back go

kittmar go back

the herd is alone go

go

sit down sit down

give me your hand

how did you find this place couldn't you

find

any place nearer than this for

worshipping

does his highness maximilian know

something we do not

i don't know either all i know is that

there is a sign from god leading us this

way

this cave does not lead anywhere if our

enemies arrive

we will have nowhere to escape

but in my heart

i'm certain you chose the most difficult

path to find a place to be alone with

god

the path to god is never

easy but maximilian

it seems you did not choose this path on

your own

there is another force guiding us along

this path

dear god how is it that you speak with

us humans

how can a worthless human being be

addressed

by you

i feel you're not treading this path of

our own free will

yes that is the case

i think we ought to get going

antonius yo what are you doing here i i

i um

if you want to know the truth when you

bid me stay behind

i turned to god and i got permission

from him did god himself tell you to

come here

he did he told me himself he told me to

take the path of the pious

but the pious would not take me with

them along their path

so i had no choice i had to take a

shortcut and you reach the destination

sooner

i i did not intend to overtake you

but i had no other choice

so you made your own choice in the end

all right if you are asking for trouble

then so be it you can stay with us

thank you

that is kidney

kidney leave

kidney why did you come here go back why

did you come

didn't i tell you to stay with the herd

it appears this dog will reveal our

hideout

why won't you go kid mia i'm commanding

you go back it's so bizarre why won't he

listen to my orders no no

don't hit him antonios let him come

perhaps he is receiving his orders from

someone else today

how can we be sure he is not looking for

the same person we are

do you think his belief in god is less

than yours

antonios leave him be

get me a come

come come

hmm

so maximilian sanctuary

is not bad

it is deep and vast as well

[Music]

there is an exit over there no no it's

just a hole that's been closed

so this cave leads nowhere

yes nowhere i already told you

[Music]

this is the place where they would meet

and plot

this is where they would equip

themselves and set out to carry out

their schemes

you mean they hunted with these bows and

arrows

yes they did but their prey was roman

soldiers

not animals

they hid their identity with these mount

your horse

let's go

all of the surrounding villages and

hideouts leave no stone unturned

you are lying helen you are lying

how do you expect me to believe that you

do not know where they are hiding you

can see i don't know

they left through a passageway in your

own home

and they didn't tell you where they were

going your officers and soldiers were

following them

why did they not arrest them you

helped them flee so you are an

accomplice

furthermore the idiocy of my guards does

not absolve you of your crimes

i am merely maximilian's wife and his

actions are his business not mine

maximilian will no longer have a wife

since there will be no maximilian to

speak of

for now he has escaped your incompetence

you

can continue your nonsense when you find

him you can be certain that if we do not

find him

you will be held responsible and

crucified in his place

that is unless you can tell us where his

hideout is i do not know where they

are and you can do whatever you see fit

you are misusing my fatherly mercy helen

let her go your highness she is good

bait for luring maximilian calm down

your highness women follow the religion

of their husbands

let time pass

a new husband will guide her

put her under house surveillance

yes your highness of course

[Music]

what news my lady they haven't found

them yet

thank god thank god

so why are you so unhappy

julius being so foul tortures me even

more than my father does

[Music]

dear god help protect him from

his enemies wherever he is

oh

[Music]

you
