[Music]

me

[Applause]

[Music]

judge as you've said

they have gone mad he has withstood all

kinds of torture

only to assert his own beliefs

do you not think it's possible that he's

being subjected to the wrath of the gods

it is possible i have a suggestion

[Music]

is it not best we wait several days

perhaps the wrath of the gods will

subside and their lunacy will come to an

end

you do not know these people they will

never abandon their faith every day

they are growing in numbers and

infecting

people everywhere especially this one

who must be destroyed

what's his name again adonia

you adornia

will soon be thrown on the crucifix

enough to die

and your body will remain there

as a lesson to others

write out this sentence yes sir

take him away

uh

water i'm parched

water

are you pleased to hear your death

sentence

i know your gods but

but do you know mine

no i do not know your god

but if you did know him

you would understand why i am

so anxious to meet him

[Music]

his name is adonia the missionary

[Music]

yes sir

why do you appear so confused

i am confused by them it is very

difficult to understand

[Music]

go

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i can stand this no longer

how long must we go on pretending that

we are idle worshipers

for how long for how long are we

supposed to sit

and watch christians being fed to lions

and wild animals

and to watch the gladiators rip each

other apart to entertain others

how long can we tolerate this situation

calm down martinus calm down we chose

this path together have you forgotten

no i haven't forgotten but i don't know

the reason behind this secrecy either

no one understands what we're saying

neither the idol worshipers nor the

christians

but at least christians worship god

are we supposed to sit back forever and

watch how ruthlessly their blood is shed

so what are these swords rusting in

their sheaths for

he who draws his sword too soon only

injures himself

imagine the three of us killing 30 of

them

what will change isn't it true

that all of these crimes are committed

by diocletian

and that we're often alone with him

why not read our fellow believers of him

what's the use of that if it's not the

eclectician it will be someone else

by doing this we are only risking our

lives and the lives of others

as long as the emperor exists so will

the likes of deocletian

martinus the emperor is arriving

tomorrow

and we can easily get close to him what

do you have to say to this

dearest martinus

do you think rome will have any

difficulty replacing the emperor what

are you saying

does this mean we must leave the

criminals of the world to their own

devices

because whatever we do there will always

be another offender to take the place of

whoever is punished

we must live up to our responsibilities

martinus is right

the time is right

to be honest my patient is wearing thin

too

i'm not afraid of death and in a way i

look forward to it

but i fear that the people will be

massacred in retaliation

for the emperor's death

on the other hand even now people are

being murdered left and right

so the verdict is that the leading

figure behind all these crimes must not

go unpunished

we are awaiting your order with our

swords drawn

guard your witness to the fact that

whatever action i take is for your

satisfaction

not my own

please accept this from us and grant us

the power to fight for your sake

[Music]

let's go

[Music]

hey

[Music]

you mean christ hasn't descended from

heaven to earth

no no no

no christ lived on earth

he was a man like you and i but an

outstanding man

that is just a greek myth that the god

at us came to earth was murdered and

resurrected

three days later and then ascended

to the heavens so you are trying to say

that these beliefs

yes i'm trying to tell you that christ

did not

teach these beliefs you mean that christ

did not die for our sins

you mean he was not a redeemer no he was

not

a redeemer but a guide

not a god but a human being

not a creator but a creation

dear god so when will these

people be enlightened

listen brother for i do not have much

more time

i want to speak my last words

that befits my humble status

and with the further that befits your

grandeur

oh god accept the little this your

humble servant

can offer

[Music]

um oh

oh lord i have been waiting for a long

time

for this meeting grant us the worthiness

to recognize the presence of the praised

one

and bless mount paran with his arrival

your highness

i am antonius

what do you want nothing i know i am an

unwanted guest

i just wanted to see you before leaving

please forgive me

shepherds have nothing to offer but milk

take it

please take it it's fresh your

acceptance of this humbleness

gives me great pride though

by the way i heard your prayers you must

be

a saint am i right

no yes yes you are or think as you

please

you prayed so purely oh

by the way your highness i heard you

referring

in your prayers to the praised one

you said you were wishing to see him who

is the priest one

have you read the holy bible no

i do not even know how to read listen

while i recite passages

from the holy bible for you

[Applause]

according to the holy duality this

is the blessing given by moses to the

israelites

before his death

he said jehovah

came from mount sinai rose up

from and shone

forth from mount paran

the light that shines from mount

parana is that very messiah

that our lord christ told us about

he is called the praised one

where is parram

is that oasis where abraham's wife

hajar and his son ishmael

lived and ahmad

the praised one who is among the

descendants

of ishmael will appear

there you mean it is possible that god

will bless us with disappearance

of course

one day he will appear without a doubt

but when only god knows

only god you mean the

praised one will destroy the idols

like his his forefather abraham

without doubt destroying the idols will

bring us such pleasure

yes yes that is the case

but destroyed idols are sometimes

capable of being restored

those idols that can never

be repaired must be destroyed

[Music]

look at that stop

familiar

their own material desires they shall

your highness last night adonia the

missionary

is the city prepared for the welcoming

ceremonies yes it is prepared for the

arrival of the emperor

very good today the city of philadelphia

is prepared for the arrival of the

emperor

and you will all be rewarded generously

even those who have done

nothing and spent the past

few days relaxing outside of town you

are not referring to max a million

hey julius yes your highness that is

right

first let me take care of this man

i like his swordsmanship he strikes

unexpectedly

and i'm going to kill you

the guards at the city's gate say

maximilian fled the city four days ago

and has not yet returned don't worry

i have already received information

regarding that rumor from

tamika yeah

get up oh finally maximilian has decided

to show up

julius wants to know where you were

what you were doing it is best if you

first explain it to him

julius is always worried about me

but i have come here to report news

i have received news that the christians

are becoming increasingly active in the

villages situated along the emperor's

route here

and i didn't think the route was safe

for the emperor

so immediate action needed

to be taken i felt it was necessary

to visit the area and assess the

situation

myself fortunately it wasn't as bad as

it was reported to be

there is no need for any concern

that is good it seems julius's concerns

have also been

addressed

[Music]

let's go

[Music]

laughs

your father has returned hello father

hello my darling boy

father i missed you very much deny you

his highness must have had such a good

time that he didn't want to return

yes thank god i enjoyed my retreat

that's your highness

it was not right for you to leave the

city at such a time

you can be sure that spies have reported

your absence

my dear galuzz do you think one should

be afraid of anyone but god

huh no

what news is there has anything happened

while i was away

i know about adonya so you know

yes

i was by his side in his final hour

on the crucifix

we cannot be sure that we will not face

the same fate

the fate that god deems fit for us will

certainly

be favored for us too

if we are summoned by god before the

right

time comes that will be a cause for

sorrow

your highness to tell you the truth

it is not only lady helen who is afraid

i am also worried about what will happen

with your permission

the arrival and departure of the emperor

will not be without difficulties

do not worry at all

the end is near

with god's help i've made some decisions

his highness has finally returned after

four days

[Music]

their highnesses juventus and telmika

let's go ahmed

[Music]

greetings your highness maximilian

greetings to my good friends what a

surprise

your highness finally showed some

concern for your own city

[Music]

i have told you before i went to pray

for an answer

to the problems that we are facing

it seems as if you have reached a

solution

if god helps us then yes i have

has his highness heard the news donya

yes he knows what

can we do to save him

there is nothing more we can do for

adonya

we must go after the main perpetrator of

these crimes

what you are saying is interesting

but you were opposed to killing emperor

hadrian

[Music]

we will kill the emperor

but not the kind of death you're

thinking of

we are here to listen to your decision

do not rush

you will know when the time is right

[Music]

[Applause]

[ __ ]

we must visit the prison

we may be able to do something to help

adonia

i have no hope

[Music]

so where is your guard now carsolusia

greetings to you your highnesses

why are you torturing these people to

get

confessions they are christian their

sentence

is a sound lashing that's enough

your highness

did you not hear he said that's enough

enough enough unchain them and take them

to the prison

middle of the night

fellow believers

these gods are capable of doing things

sculpture has not defended itself and is

now broken

tonight the gods shall avenge onya's

blood
