[Music]

judge

as you 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

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 adonia

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 them away

uh

water i'm parched

water

so

are you pleased to hear your death

sentence

i know your god's butt

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]

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 were

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 huh

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 patience 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]

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 wanted to speak my last words

oh no i wish

i wish i had never met you

i don't know if it is better to confront

the truth

or to remain in my ignorance

[Music]

night where are you taking us

i praise you with the modesty

that befits my humble status

and with the fervor that befits your

grandeur

oh god accept the little this your

humble

servant can offer

um

[Music]

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 humble gift 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 praised 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

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 saiyan and shone

forth from mount parana

the light that shines from mount

is that very messiah that our lord

christ

told us about he is called the praised

one

where is

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 this appearance

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]

so

[Music]

so

look at that stop

stop stop

who are they i do not know he looks

familiar

wait wait

who are these people adonya the

missionary and several other christians

oh i see which of them is

donya that one there him that one

[Laughter]

come here i found a good target come

here

come throw stones

throw stones enemy of god ha take that

don't throw stones i said stop that at

once

what good does pelting him do

that's what i'm saying

since he is already dying what

difference do a few extra stones make

he has led many of our fellow believers

astray

i can see that moses's teachings

have had no influence upon you

they shall not be enemy to anything but

their own material desires they shall

not condemn

anything but their own inner desires

they shall fearfully stand

in prayer as if they were facing

resurrection

here take this only one coin stand over

there

and pretend we're not here here now yes

and this one is following jesus

believe this

so you misled people did you

believe that yeah you got me one even

outside

of the dead i pity you who cultivate the

graves

of your prophets and adore the

mausoleums of the truthful but

you neither follow the prophets nor are

you truthful i

something to do it with

don't worry about me

the hour of my union is near

i have reached the end before you

[Music]

we will see each other again on the day

of judgment

[Music]

foreign

there was hardly any time left before

the arrival

your highness last night adonya the

missionary

was crucified very good good work julius

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 your swordsmanship he strikes

unexpectedly

here 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 but 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]

that's good

if i was to go

[Music]

your father has returned hello father

hello

my darling boy father i missed you very

much and i 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 gals 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

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 juveniles and talmika

let's go ahmed

greetings your highness maximilian

greetings to my good friends what a

surprise

your highness finally showed some

concern for your own city

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 hmm

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

padrian

[Music]

we will kill the emperor

[Music]

but not the kind of death you're

thinking of

we are here to listen to your decision

do not rush

[Music]

you will know when the time is right

[Music]

we must visit the prison

[Music]

we may be able to do something to help

adonia

i have no hope

[Music]

oh

that's enough

so where is your god now god

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 let them go but we have

not finished your highness did you not

hear

he said that's enough

enough enough unchain them and take them

to the prison

marcelos yes johannes

where is donya they crucified him in the

middle of the night

why in the middle of the night to

prevent a possible uproar among his

fellow believers

you may go yes sir

[Music]

be quiet

[Music]

come on get up get up

[Music]

get up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i can still hear his words from that day

do we not need to know whether or not

these gods are capable of doing things

do we not need to know why this

sculpture has not defended itself and is

now broken

no these sculptures are not gods

tonight the gods shall avenge adonia's

blood

and what a revenge it shall be

[Music]

this is a good animal it is so cute

look at him make sure he doesn't bite

your hands

watch out

so

i'm sorry that i could not do anything

to save him

[Music]

father

[Music]

his offense was severe setting him free

was impossible

from the moment they captured him

i lost all the romans have

no mercy for no one

like curse the romans because they're

gods who do nothing but take away

our loved ones

i curse every hundred

i curse you

[Music]

they say that his body is to remain

upon the crucifix as a lesson to others

i wish they would

give his body to us

that is not impossible

but i promise

[Music]

[Music]

take good care of her

[Music]

try to comfort her

[Music]

you may not see me again after today may

god always watch over you

[Music]

your highness last night someone tried

to steal a donya's body

but he was confronted by our guards and

was unsuccessful

what our city is that insecure then what

are you doing

maximilian matios

we need the evidence against maximilian

i must expose him in the presence of the

emperor
