The assassin came for me.

Ten Jews will be crucified
every day until I have

the man who tried to kill me.

Papa. CORNELIUS: His
name and where to find him.

If I've found you,
they will find you.

His name is Boaz.

Nowhere is safe.

There is somewhere. There are
people who can forgive my sins.

I'm Stephen.

Move aside, boy. No.

What's in your heart, Ananias,
to make you lie to the Holy Spirit?

When you and your
husband sold your house

did you keep anything
back for yourselves?

There may have been something,
but what does that matter?

You've lied. Not just to us,

but to God.

Come on. Move.

What are we to do?

You must give it more time.

No, listen to me. MAN 4:
They need to earn their keep.

My boys, one of them's good.

One of them's good for nothing.

Do you suppose he knows that
this is how people are feeling?

Run!

They're afraid of me.

What happened to Ananias
and Sapphira was not your doing.

It was the will of God.

Then why does God want
the people of this camp

to look on me with
fear in their eyes?

Do you see fear in mine?

They have faith. In
time, they will understand.

This is supposed to
be a place of happiness.

How can it be a joyful place

when every day
more of our people

are being crucified
in Jerusalem?

There's so much
pain and despair.

That's why my son came.

To free us from it.

Any news of Boaz?

Nothing, Governor.

There is a wedding today
in the western quarter.

I'm sure that
between both families,

you will find the
people justice demands.

Take 10 women

and crucify them.

Yes, Governor.

You have something to say?

Have you no mind for compassion?

I have not.

I do no more than I would
to insubordinate soldiers.

Ananias and Sapphira
were punished by God

for lying to the Holy Spirit,

and this camp is
focusing on that,

and this fear is
paralyzing all of us.

But our message is
one of love and hope.

So, what are we to do?

There are people
suffering in Jerusalem,

and we can offer
them safety here.

Share what we have.

If not, we're no different
to those God has punished.

Then we must go to Jerusalem,
no matter how dangerous it is.

- Stay back.
- Hurry. Hurry!

They're coming. I can
hear them from their steps.

- There they are again.
- Let's run now!

Out of the way!

David, look!

Let's just go about
what we came here for.

What do they want again?

Do not meet their eye.

They're past.
Quickly, let's go home.

Maya. This is Tamar.

She's lost everyone.

She really needs a friend.

Shall we go find a
place for you to stay?

There's hope.

They've given us a name, Boaz.

They're closing in.

They've already
found his fiancee.

She could lead us right to him.

Eva?

We know it was Boaz who
murdered the Roman soldier.

And so do you.

I can't help you... It's
Jerusalem that's asking for help

because every day its people are
being put to death in his absence.

If he truly loves his people,

then he will be ready to
give up his life for theirs.

You're wasting your time.

Then I beg you, Eva.

If you know something, a name or
a place, anything, you must tell me.

I'm sorry, there's nothing.

It isn't a betrayal to save the
lives of hundreds of innocent Jews.

All will be well. These men
will help us, I'm sure of it.

Yes. Yes.

Forgive our intrusion,

but these people are desperate.

Can you help them?

Even those who do
not share the belief?

What is your name? Philip.

How did they know to
come here? I brought them.

I heard you speak.

And I was baptized by James.

And somehow, I knew you'd come.

We need to get these people out
of the city as quickly as possible.

How?

The Romans are out there
looking for people to crucify.

Take them to the camp.

Go in small groups.
Use different routes.

Romans!

- There.
- Yes, sir.

Philip, can I trust you to
organize these people?

You can.

Now!

It was you, wasn't it?

The Jewish wedding,
you tipped them off.

Be careful how you speak
to your Governor's wife.

Yeah, I wonder how
he'd react if he knew

she'd attempted to
sabotage his order.

You and I were the
only ones who heard it.

I saw your distaste for it.

No, I'm a soldier. I
don't have opinions.

And Rome only thrives
because men like me obey orders.

Yes, of course.

And how convenient
that such an attitude

absolves you of
any responsibility.

What did you think would happen?

We Took them from
the market instead,

and that's on your head.

Were they any more or
less deserving of death?

She was holding something
back. I know she was.

And she'll come.

Trust me, she'll come.

I understand things didn't
go entirely to plan today.

Do you suppose it's possible
that they knew you were coming,

that someone had alerted them?

I don't think so.

There was no sign that
anyone had fled our arrival.

But, um, there were no
women at the market today?

The men seemed to have
decided to keep women out of sight.

I trust you, Stephen,

which is why I want you and
Philip to look after the camp.

Huh, really?

It's growing so fast, and we
have so many new converts.

Peter, I've been reading and
studying the Scriptures since I was 13.

I know entire pages by heart,

and I can speak, read, and
write in four different languages.

Now, God has a
purpose for each of us.

You've got yours,
and I have mine.

And that is not it.

I'm meant to preach.

Stephen.

Maybe I can put your
knowledge to good use.

Eva?

Believe me, I don't
know where he is,

but he said he was
going to a place

where people would
forgive his sins.

Come with me.

Why have you brought me here?

I've told you what
I know. Yes, but

if my husband returns empty-handed,
I will be forced to consider

whether you
deliberately misled us,

and then what truth
you might conceal.

I've told you the truth.

Let's hope he's there, then.

Go. REUBEN: Go!

God said, "Let there be
light," and there was light.

This is the word for "God"?

Mmm-hmm.

Very good.

We believe the man
Pilate wants is here.

His name is Boaz.

You know him, don't you?

He once sought an alliance.

If he's here, you must
allow him to face justice.

Yes.

If he's here.

Need I remind you that if
you fail to hand him over,

Rome will come for him,

and wipe this camp from
the Earth in less than an hour.

If the Romans thought he
was here, we'd be dead already.

You are welcome to
look for him yourself.

Do not test me!

There are hundreds
of innocent people here.

I pray to God for their
sake, you're truthful.

You, you've taken a
man's life. You're a killer.

As are you. I hear a husband
and wife were murdered.

Do you really think that was
me, that I have that power?

Only God decides
who lives and dies.

God and Romans.

How many Jewish lives
have fallen to the man I killed?

That's not good enough.
You cannot justify murder!

Then why didn't you
give me up to Caiaphas?

Because only God
decides who lives and dies!

I will not be compelled
to decide a man's fate!

I will harbor you.

But I cannot, and will
not, force you to surrender.

The foundation of
what we believe in here,

is love for all people.

All I can do

is forgive you.

Even though you know
Rome will surely come for me,

and destroy this place?

My faith is in God.
If that's His will,

then so be it.

High priest.

Who are you? What do you want?

I'm the man you're looking for.

I'm Boaz.

Why is it that some men

are determined to
pull the serpent's tail?

Is it a death wish?

Or is it some vague
notion of heroism?

"I'm the man who..."
this, that, or the other.

Heroism, it's for
children's stories.

But monsters,

monsters are real,

and they cannot be slayed.

Try, and they grow another head

that bites back twice as hard.

So, what to do?

Placate them, flatter them,

feed them until
they're fat and indolent,

and forget that
they're monsters.

And in time,

they move on.

You despise Pilate
more than I do.

And I know that deep down,

you wish with all your heart

that I'd succeeded
in killing him.

He's here, if you
want to see him.

So that he'll die

knowing that I betrayed him?

For what it's worth, you didn't.

He wasn't found through
you. He surrendered.

You seem taken with her.

I remember how it feels.

I was about her age
when my mother died,

and I didn't ever want
to be left alone again.

You've been wonderful
with her today.

But you mustn't think
she's your responsibility.

But I know how it feels.

I know what she needs.

And do you think you
can give that to her?

Somebody should. Why not me?

Because you're still
a child yourself, Maya.

Maybe that's why
she wants me around.

Because I'm like her.

I'm not an adult.

I'm a friend.

We have Boaz, finally. - Oh.

Thank you for coming to me.

It was a risk.

No. Anything to at last
get back to normality.

Normality? And what is that?

The murderer will be
punished for his crime,

and the reprisals ended.

And the natural balance of
things will be restored. Is that it?

I'm sorry?

You seem to think
that before Boaz,

everything was as it should be.

Well, there was stability.

I know our nations have
their differences, but...

We live under the
heel of Roman tyranny,

an occupying army that
drains us of resources,

and doles out murder
on a mass scale.

We are enslaved.

But you stand here freely
with me now, don't you?

Only because you allow me to.

And in return, you expect me to
play the role of the grateful subject

because you are
one of them, a Roman.

You are the problem.

Bite your tongue, little snake!

Don't presume to know me.

That might prove a costly error.

There. You see?

At least we know where we stand.

How did you find him?

Knowledge can be
as effective as force.

You are the murderer. Prove it.

Show me where you struck.

No. Here. On me.

That's it. Closer.

Now show me.

At least he died quickly.

Whereas you will
die very slowly,

over many, many days

as an example for all to see.

How does it feel
to get this close?

Tempting.

There will be no end to
your pain for what you did.

Cohort!

Dead one week sooner
than I'd like him to be,

you somehow have contrived
to allow his killer to escape.

Explain yourself!

It was my failing.

I should have anticipated
an attempt to stop him talking.

I should have placed men on
the rooftops where he struck.

Failure to do so gave
him an easy escape.

Is this cloying city finally
getting under your skin?

A single mistake
could be forgiven,

but this isn't a
single mistake, is it?

I accept whatever
punishment pleases you.

Get out of my sight.

Who was he?

A man of great conviction,

but tragically misguided.

Leave us.

♪ Save me, O God

♪ For the waters
are come into my soul

♪ I sink in deep mire

♪ Where there is no standing

♪ I am come into deep waters
where the floods overflow me

♪ I am weary of my
crying, my throat is dried

♪ My eyes fail while
I wait for my God

♪ They that hate
me without a cause

♪ Are more than the
hairs on my head ♪

Do not judge this
man displayed here.

That's for God to do.

All we can do is forgive him,

as we must forgive all people,

and show love to all men.

Only then will we find salvation

when our Lord,
Jesus Christ, returns,

to establish a new kingdom
of God in Jerusalem.

Take him.

Shall I stop him? No.

Let him tell the others.
They'll come for their friend.

And we will be waiting.

All right. All right.

What is this? We
haven't done anything.

No.

But you will. Arrest them!

Get off of me!

Peter. Are you all right?

Get out of here!

You, too!

Yeah, you get in there!

Peter.

Get in!

You! In!

This isn't good.

They were waiting for us.

Something awful
is gonna befall us.

But it will mark the beginning
of something wonderful.

In the end, he knows.

Thank you for making it swift.

It was not done out of kindness.

It was to save lives.
Boaz knew that.

He was expendable.

You'll need to replace him.

I'm in this now, too. Teach
me, like you taught Boaz.

Show me how to kill.

My friends, it's time.

Where is he taking us?

To the temple.

Our nation is poisoned.

Turn away from hate.

Turn away from violence.

Jesus is the light of the world.
- Amen!

Open your hearts.

Hear our message of
hope and love for all people.

Come.

Jesus is the good shepherd.

People would not act
this way if they knew

the kingdom of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, is coming to Jerusalem.

Move, move!

- He is the resurrection...
- Him. Him. Take them!

And the life!

Matthew.

I suppose it's thankless to ask,

but I'd very much like to know
how you escaped your cell.

Then I can only assume that you
have some experience of lock-picking,

a skill which most
reasonable people

would associate
with criminality.

Very well. You are
accused of continuing

to teach the name
of a false prophet.

You defy the
temple, and conspire

to lead the lost souls
of this city astray.

What have you to say to this?

Answer me!

Out of respect for the learned
elders of the Sanhedrin,

we will not seek to
defend our beliefs.

We only know them to be true.

There can be no
defense or clarification

or mitigation of the
truth, it simply is.

And what is the truth?

That God raised
Jesus from the dead

to sit at His right hand
as Prince and Savior.

And it was His spirit that
freed us from your chains.

You are aware that
saying such things

condemns you as false
prophets, according to the law.

There is only one outcome.

You are to be put
to death by stones.

So few words spoken

for so many lives to be clipped.

Rabbi Gamaliel, do you find
fault in our application of the law?

No, no, no, probably not.

But as president
of the Sanhedrin,

I'm obligated to poke a finger
into matters that pique my interest.

Of course, but what more is there
to say? They've been found guilty...

Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's all very upsetting.

But I wonder, do you not recall

the enthusiasms
of your own youth,

and being carried away by them?

Your wisdom is highly valued
and recognized by all, but...

But I should sit
down now, should I?

No, no, I cannot.

My conscience pricks
at me for us both.

Let these men alone.

They are not dangerous.

If what they claim is false,

then nothing will come of it,

and in time, they
will simply fade away.

But if it is true, and
you destroy them,

you will find yourselves
in opposition to God.

Having considered
the wisdom of Gamaliel,

it is agreed that the
sentence shall be commuted.

But you're to be taken to
a public place and flogged

so that everyone
may know your guilt!

Come on!

If you do not obey
the Lord, your God,

and do not carefully follow all
His commands and decrees,

you will be cursed in the
city, and cursed in the country.

The fruit of your
womb will be cursed.

The crops of your land,

the calves of your herds,
the lambs of your flocks.

You will be cursed when you
come in, and cursed when you go out.

The Lord will send on
you curses, confusion,

and rebuke in everything
you put your hand to,

until you are destroyed
and come to sudden ruin,

because of the evil you
have done in forsaking Him.

We all knew we'd
have to make sacrifices.

That's what Jesus
told us, Stephen.

Not like this.

Shall we go home,

to Galilee?

You mean to live?

Why not?

The camp's set up. It's growing.

You don't need to
be here anymore.

Is that what you want?

Yes.

But you can't do it, can you?

When you're at home

you catch fish, you sell them,

you clean a boat, I
can do that, anyone can.

But it's different here.

You're different.

Even your name's different.

You're Peter.

No one else can be.

And that's why I'm going home.

When?

Tomorrow.

Tamar's decided that I'm the
only one that can keep her safe...

and I can't do that here.

I'm going to miss you

more than you will ever know.

We must govern ourselves
according to our law

so that this city and its people

are never again
subjected to Roman justice.

That's all well and good,

but as far as I understand it, this
Boaz surrendered of his own accord.

Are these the men that claim
to keep the law of Moses?

You, who have received
the law through angels,

but have not obeyed it!

You're all just
like our ancestors.

Was there ever a prophet
they didn't persecute?

Enough!

What is the cause of this?

The unjust punishment
of righteous men.

Hush your tongue.

The sentence was levied under
the eyes of God in His house.

Oh, you mean this temple?

Do you really believe that God would
confine himself to a house built by men,

when he made all of creation?

You be careful.
You're alone in here.

And didn't Jesus say, "I will tear down
this temple and rebuild it in three days,"

before he rose from the
death you condemned him to?

Silence him. Shut him up.

Look. Look here with me!

I see the heavens open

and Christ standing at
the right hand of God!

Blasphemer!

Ah! Ah!

Kill the blasphemer! Kill him!

Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

Do not hold this
sin against them.

Ah!
