[Music]

there is no such thing as heaven and

hell

by heaven we mean the peace a person

finds

when he dies after a lifetime of

suffering

how is it possible for man's decaying

body to be

brought back to life and given a soul

how can intelligent men accept this

if there is anyone here who can give me

a good reason to reconsider my

irrefutable logic

i am prepared to discuss this but be

certain that no one is capable of

refuting intelligent thought

i swear to my god and to your god

that there is no afterlife and no one

is brought back after

death and after death

no one will be reborn that's strange

oh you're certain of something you've

never seen

and swear to it that's right what are

you saying

can you swear that there are no mermaids

in any of the world's seas

i can swear that no one has ever seen

such a thing

mermaids are definitely imaginary

creatures

answer the question can you swear that

mermaids

do not exist no

i have not seen all of the seas of the

world

but no one has been able to prove that

they do indeed exist

have you returned from another world

no i don't even believe in another world

so you have not returned from another

world

have you interacted with someone who has

witnessed another world

no i don't believe such a person

exists i don't think that anyone has

ever

seen any such person you

swore so confidently i thought you

yourself had experienced death and have

seen there is nothing after it

or that you've heard it from someone who

has died and been reborn

i am certain that a dead body which is

decomposed

will never be brought to life again is

that not enough

you should say that we have not seen the

dead come to life again

but several prophets have brought the

dead back to life

and many people have witnessed how can i

believe something that i have not seen

you believe that god must bring the dead

back to life for

each and every person so that they'll

believe in the afterlife

yes one miracle is enough for

all generations if they choose to

believe

and if not they will never believe

even if they see a miracle with their

own eyes just as many people claim that

jesus used sorcery to resurrect the dead

i am not foolish enough to believe

something that i have not seen

then do not believe in your own wisdom

because it too cannot be seen

father fearless answered him well

before he knew it he was second guessing

everyone's this way

atheism

what are you doing here let's go let's

go

he's preaching sacrilegious thoughts

come see for yourself

come

he is standing there he's right there

move back

stand back hey you

let's go where are you taking me why are

you arresting me let it go am i being

arrested

let me go where are you taking me let

him talk

remain silent ridiculous speaking forces

how can a fair judge like you let them

violate my rights

and that of my wife and children all

right

i will fight to claim every last ounce

of your rights from him may god grant

you good health

i will summon him to court tomorrow do

not worry

what's happened this man was promoting

idol worshiping

for that he must be punished in public

worshipers cannot promote their beliefs

by treasure but if you like

you can keep that coin for yourself

i don't need the rest

where are you going wait

run away

move back you see stranger it's in your

best interest to cooperate with us

don't be so greedy if the guards find

out you'll lose the treasure and be

fined you'll have nothing left

one third of it with us

we'll show you how to spend it

what are these ridiculous things you're

saying

have you lost your minds

where are you going great seems you're

pretty greedy

we won't let you keep that treasure all

to yourself

we won't let you go get going wait here

i won't let you get away hello

this man's found a treasure he's right

he's trying to get away

he doesn't want to pay taxes he's found

a treasure that's true he has to tell us

where it is

he's found treasure and he's trying to

escape is he telling the truth

let's go come on

move back stand back move back

we found him

we were the ones that caught him so now

we want our reward

hmm we can go yes your highness

your highness there is someone here who

seems to have found

treasure he has an ancient coin on him

your highness take a look at this please

leave it for tomorrow i am tired today

it's a strange coin judge stevens see

i'm tired but never mind

bring him in

bring him here

so tell me where you got this coin

it's mine i didn't find it anywhere

you don't seem like the type to jest

this coin is not from our time

present-day coins don't look like this

at all

what are you doing with this ancient

coin

i have nothing to say other than

that this coin is mine and i did

not find it anywhere

listen here sir i'm tired and i don't

have the energy to argue with you

so before i do something rash

tell me where you got this coin yourself

i have already answered you

i will not be giving a different one

even if you ask me a thousand more times

we will see although i'm sure the whip

will make you speak i will wait until i

have

more detailed information

this coin is very old i think

barnabas theodosius's advisor may be

able

to tell us which period it belongs to

[Music]

go to the governor's palace and invite

barnabas here on my behalf

yes sir

[Music]

hadrian from the nirvan antonian dynasty

300 years ago 300 years

my friend barnabas is a historian

he says that this coin is 300 years old

now you tell us where you got it

from i uh your highness i

if

you will allow me i would like to ask

you a question i posed a question first

i don't know anything whatever i say

will be useless

nothing absolutely nothing is in

its right place it seems the world has

been turned upside down

your highness

uh are you a christian why are you

asking

yes of course i am

in fact i was baptized at a very young

age

even before the emperor was baptized the

emperor

you mean that emperor hadrian and

diocletian have converted as well

what's that what are you talking about

hadrian has been dead for years who

are you referring to when you say

deocletian

what city are you from sir where did you

get this coin belonging to the hadrian

period

i believe i'm from philadelphia

but maybe not this philadelphia

i swear to god i am desperate

i can't fathom what's going on

yesterday hadrian was in philadelphia

today he has been dead for years

yesterday everyone practiced idol

worship today all worship god

yesterday the jaundice temple and the

sculpture of jupiter stood at the

entrance

today they're gone yesterday there were

temples everywhere

today there are churches

oh merciful

god i am your desperate servant

what's going on

enlighten me

let me see do you know what year we are

living in

of course i know

i mean i think i know

yesterday when we left the city it was

the year 890

but maybe maybe it was not yesterday

from what i can tell nothing is certain

only god knows everything

8 90. hmm

the year 890 of what calendar 890 years

since the establishment of rome

the birth of christ was 753

890 37

137 years after christ the year 137

the final year of hadrian's reign

judge in truth when hadrian died a

person named diocletian was governing

the city of philadelphia

it is perplexing

you see sir i still don't quite

understand what you mean

but i must inform you that it is now

437 years after christ

and you are saying that it is 137 years

after christ

it appears you are mistaken about the

date

by exactly 300 years

300 years do you understand why we don't

believe what you're saying

are we justified in thinking you are

fabricating stories and telling these

lies

to protect the treasure you've found

it would be best if you told the truth

because we will not let you go

i i i don't know

what the truth is

because i am lost and confused myself

take him and lash him several times

until he remembers the truth

[Applause]

i believe there is some truth

to be found in this man

i truly wish to discover that truth

[Music]

adrian hadrian

what is this i've never seen this before

[Music]

look

it is strange

first these stones and now this table

[Music]

the inscription cannot clearly be read

it is old and broken

it must be very old perhaps maximilian

knows

what it is i knew about this cave

before maximilian but i've never seen

this before today

adrian escaped

to maximi

mika whatever

[Music]

this is it is about us

it is the beginning of maximilian's name

and the end

of tellmaker's name only tell me his

name is legible

[Music]

so who could have mounted this here how

old could it be it's so worn out

regardless it is a cause for concern

[Music]

i hope that nothing happens to

maximilian

we have to see whether he has decided to

talk or not

so have you remembered anything

i told you nothing but the truth i will

tell you again

my friends and i left here yesterday

or perhaps two days ago

last night last night

when emperor hadrian was here

dear god what have you done with us

why did you leave the city with your

friends

because they wanted to kill us

because we were christians and refused

to bow down before the emperor

they gave us an opportunity to repent

last night

but we escaped from philadelphia to a

cave

and today i came back with the only coin

i had to find

food for my friends

i am maximilian

advisor to diocletian

who are you what is this place

oh no

you said maximilian

judge my friend perhaps this man is

telling the truth

this may be the man who was martyred in

the cave of angelos no one has had the

courage to get close to their corpses

during the time of the emperor hadrian

and the government of deocletian

six of the palace's advisors took refuge

in a cave along with a shepherd

they were trapped there until they died

the martyrs of the cave evangelists

the ones with the terrifying corpses yes

i have read this story on a tablet in

the archive of the government documents

i don't remember all of their names but

i am

certain that the name of one of those

men was maximilian

one of the others was called talmika and

and ivanis and sodilanus

tenacious and martinus and antonius the

shepherd

god have mercy upon me i don't

understand

you mean you came from the cave today

yes the cave of mount angelos

yes yes yes

what were you doing all this time in

that cave

we were sleeping

we didn't have a chance to sleep last

night because we were being tortured and

chased

we slept when we arrived at the cave

this morning

it's only been a few hours since we

awoke

this man is ridiculing us stop

making up fiction we don't have time for

this

tell me when you got this coin me i'm

not making all this up

what i see appears to be an illusion i'm

hearing unbelievable things

everybody knew me in this city

my estate was renowned in this city

but i don't know what's happened

you expect us to believe what you're

saying

would you believe these things if you

were in our position

what you're right

i myself don't know what i'm supposed to

believe that's enough

you are trying to hide the location of

the treasure you found

in order to avoid taxes but you can be

certain

that we will make you confess

take him and whip him some more until he

tells you where the treasure is

does he really deserve to be whipped i

cannot understand a single thing he says

i don't know why but i believe what he

was saying

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

i do not know i cannot understand what

he is saying

judge i understand your point of view

but i would like to hear the story in

full

perhaps my being a historian is the

reason for my curiosity

what do you think

stop

uncuff him

you said your home is renowned in the

city

can you show it to us if

if my home's not been affected by the

changes

i've witnessed throughout the city then

yes

this is your guard you can take him

wherever you like

if you have no objection i would like

you to stay with us

i feel as if the issue is more

complicated than it seems

all right i am at your service

prepare the carriage and two guards

[Music]

the street names must certainly have

changed

if 300 years have passed isn't that so

judgmental

yes yes

does this look familiar

[Music]

[Applause]

you don't recognize this place

[Music]

no no none of this is familiar

no no i don't recognize it

and this place

wait wait

[Music]

no that way

no

[Music]

no i can't find it like this we must

begin from the city gate

[Music]

i am certain i am certain that i can

find my way home

from there wouldn't it be best

if we quit playing this game barnabas be

patient

let us watch and see what happens i have

a good

feeling about this

all right i cannot deny the wishes of

barnabas

theodosius's personal advisor i think

so get on and let's go let's go

[Music]

arius is awaiting your arrival

please

in the library i will let you know you

are here

are yous father philos is here

may god bless the elderly arios

greetings father first

please sit down

i've heard that you would like to take

me to mount angelos with you again

i must see the inside of that cave what

for

no one is brave enough to get close to

that cave

why should i lie to you i myself once

tried to see the inside of that cave

but from a distance of 100 meters i was

so overtaken with fear that i regretted

it

you know i understand that if it is

god's will

i will succeed i must see it

how is it possible that the bodies of

seven men and their dog

haven't decomposed after 300 years this

is a true

sign of the afterlife i have thoughts

that this will be confirmed

if i see the inside of the cave it is

entirely up to you

but i feel i must tell you that any

thoughts you have will be completely

erased upon seeing what is inside

aryos is there anyone you know

who looks like the man in this portrait

meaning your great ancestor

no there is nobody i know who looks like

this man

that's strange

i saw somebody today who looked

very similar to this portrait

stop

[Music]

even with all the changes i still

recognize it i recognize this old house

it is arius's house

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

yes yes it is here this

is a hatch to a secret passageway

nothing can be seen here it isn't meant

to be seen

this is the secret hatch we used to

escape

the other hatch is next to the city wall

[Music]

[Music]

no i'm not ready

[Music]
