Exodus: Gods and Kings Page #5

You protect your child tonight.

My child?

Is that a threat?

Is that a threat? Moses!

Moses!

Tell everyone

to slaughter a lamb.

And mark their doors,

and their doorposts tonight

with its blood.

Why?

Pity the lambs if I am wrong.

If I'm right...

we will bless them for eternity.

Bennu? Bennu?

No!

Ramses?

Ramses.

Ramses.

No!

Zechariah?

Zechariah?

Kneel!

Get out!

Murderer!

Child killer!

Their children died last night.

As did mine.

Is this your God?

A killer of children?

What kind of fanatics

worship such a God?

No Hebrew child died last night.

Get...

out.

Go.

Every one of you!

Go!

Go to Canaan if that's what you want.

Back to the homeland of your dreams.

But go!

As you command.

This is the route I took.

From here, we go South to the red sea.

The straits are here.

At low tide, we can cross on foot.

You know why you sleep so well, my boy?

Because you know you are loved.

With respect, if we're going to

recapture 400,000 slaves,

we might need more than three divisions.

We're not recapturing anyone.

Forward!

- We should rest.

- No.

We're not safe until we cross the sea.

Moshe!

Ramses...

4,000 men...

- a thousand chariots.

- How far behind us?

Four days.

Less, if they don't rest the horses.

Ramses!

Ramses!

We need to rest the horses, and the men!

The straits are that way.

The longest, easiest route

is down the Western coast.

Or we go through the mountains.

The mountains? Why?

Why don't we take that route?

We can, but so can Ramses.

The Mountain passes are dangerous,

but they are too narrow

for Ramses' chariots. He couldn't follow.

That would give us needed time.

What does God tell you?

The mountains.

Can we make it?

Forward!

Which way from here?

Stay here.

We need your help.

I don't know where I am.

You won't help me?

You won't help them.

This way!

Move out!

This way!

- Are you sure?

- I'm very sure.

I mean, are you sure we can make it across

with our equipment... our chariots?

They didn't think they could

with theirs.

How would they know?

They've never been here.

Moses may have.

- Is this high tide or low tide?

- Doesn't matter.

- This isn't the straits, is it?

- No.

- Do you even know where we are?

- Yes!

We're at a point on the earth where

there is a sea ahead, and an army behind!

So now what?

Army or no army we have to rest.

I have misled all of them.

I have abandoned my family.

I have failed you.

I'm not what I thought I was.

What is it?

The current.

It's strong.

We need to cross here.

We need to cross now!

We cross here. We cross here!

Ready yourselves! We cross here!

Go tell them! Go!

Your orders are like the lash

of the Egyptian whip.

- We are no longer slaves.

- And yet, you are not free.

You have lost sight of Canaan...

Land of your forebears.

You have honored me with your trust.

Now I honor you with my faith.

Follow me and you will be free!

Stay and you will perish.

Do not be afraid!

God is with us! Go! Ready yourselves!

Go! God is with us!

Pass the word! We cross here!

As quickly as you can,

gather your things, and form in groups!

Quickly!

Come on!

Steady!

To the right, to the right! Tight!

Keep moving!

There's nothing to fear!

Don't worry! You'll be safe!

Keep to the right! Keep to the right!

Ramses!

Stop!

Look out!

Stop! Stop!

Go.

Keep moving! Keep moving! Forward!

There.

Joshua! Aaron!

Run! Everyone, run!

Move!

Run to shore!

Moshe.

Moshe.

We must leave!

Ramses! Ramses!

- Go!

- Ramses, stop!

All! Turn around!

Turn around!

Khyan!

Leave.

- Brother...

- Leave now! That's an order!

Come! You'll never make it back!

Go!

Faster!

It's just me here.

Sit.

My family...

is not far from here.

- Your family?

- My other family. My wife, my son.

I was thinking

maybe I could convince them...

convince them to join us,

but perhaps that's...

- Perhaps that's not wise.

- Of course they should come.

We have a long way to go.

A lot can happen.

And then...

we get there, if we get there.

You don't think they'll

let us settle in Canaan?

They'll see us as invaders.

They won't have a choice.

We're as big as any tribe.

We're as big as a nation of tribes

and that concerns me even more.

Why?

This many people?

You have to ask?

- But we all have the same goal.

- We do now.

What happens when we stop running?

Ramses...

The Great.

Thank you.

Gershom.

Did you do what you said?

What did I say?

That you would trade your faith...

to keep me.

No.

Good.

You may need it more than ever now.

Who are they?

They're my people.

Who makes you happy?

You do.

What is the most important thing

in your life?

You are.

You are.

When will I leave you?

Never.

May I proceed?

Proceed.

What do you think of this?

I wouldn't do it if I didn't agree.

That's true.

I've noticed that about you.

You don't always agree with me.

Nor you me, I've noticed.

Yet here we are, still speaking.

But not for much longer.

A leader can falter, but stone...

will endure.

These laws will guide them

in your stead.

If you disagree

you should put down the hammer.
