his service.

What are you doing here?

I saw you on the street

by chance.

I saw you enter here.

[men shouting]

Samson, the city

knows you're here.

The people are hunting for

you even now, laying traps.

[soldier] Go find him!

Did Rallah put you

up to this?

I'm not with Rallah.

I don't believe you.

You're lying.

[soldier] Over there!

[Samson]

Why would you help me?

Would you be so cruel to

make me lay my heart bare?

I spoke no lie.

I saw you in the street

and I remembered.

Taren.

What about Taren?

She was sweet...

and innocent...

and pure.

And for that,

the gods smiled on her

and gave her

the gift of a good man.

And I envied her, for I knew I would

never be allowed such a gift.

Broken as I am.

Forgive me.

He's awake!

You're not one of my girls!

Kill them both!

Come.

[yells]

That's him.

The Hebrew killer Samson!

Avenge your brothers

and your sons!

Kill him!

Kill him!

In here.

[soldier] Hurry up!

[soldier]

He killed my brother!

[men shouting]

What am I doing?

I cannot go back

to my people as a failure.

I cannot stay here.

The king advises me to vanish.

God tells me nothing!

[soldier]

He killed my brother!

I have a house

in the valley of Sorek.

You'll be safe there while you

wait for your god's answer.

[soldier] There he is!

Make for the village

of Balsam.

I will meet you on the road.

Stay here.

They're not after you.

Get him!

Where is he?

Where is he?

We'll find him.

He must have run

that way.

We need to find him.

He's here!

Rally to me! I see him!

Rally to me!

Rally to me!

Don't let him get away!

Kill the heathen!

Kill him! Kill him!

Kill him!

Where are you going to run?

Catch him!

There he is! Kill him!

Aah!

[man]

Burn that dirty beast!

[yells]

Kill the heathen!

No! No!

[yelling]

Come on, men!

Kill him!

Lord.

Your servant calls

upon you once more.

Kill him!

With your strength...

protect me.

[yelling]

[rumbling]

[yelling]

[yells]

Let them witness.

Let them witness the strength...

of the living...

God.

[woman laughs]

[Taren] Samson.

[laughs]

[Samson] Taren.

My love.

- What are you doing?

- No. Lay still.

You must rest.

[mutters]

You're awake.

You have been asleep

for two days.

Your wounds were grave,

but I did what I could.

I thought you

were someone else.

Taren.

You said her name many times.

You truly loved her.

Why do you help me?

Are you not a Philistine?

I found you alone and in pain.

I know what that feels like.

And you would help someone

without anything in return?

Takes a woman full of true

kindness to do such things,

especially for a Hebrew.

I must go.

Please, stay

until you're healed.

- No, I should not impose any further.

- It is no imposition.

Let me prepare you

some food.

Please stay.

What is your name?

Delilah.

Delilah.

I owe you my life.

Thank you.

[kisses]

[bird squawking]

I thought you were dead.

I feel

I should be, Mother.

Come in, Son.

Sit down. Sit down.

I'll get some food.

I have not protected

those I love.

God has

protected us, Samson.

I have broken

my vows to God.

I have killed.

Drank of the vine.

Has God forsaken me?

He'll never forsake you.

He will always forgive.

I am beyond

his forgiveness.

Oh, Son, listen.

Within God's forgiveness

is his power.

And your call

is still with you,

but you must pursue

his desires, not your own.

Listen to him.

Please, pray for me.

Always I pray for my children.

[thunder rumbling]

[soldier] We'll be back

tomorrow for the rest.

We trusted you.

And you stand there

and do nothing.

[thunder rumbling]

When Samson

killed a thousand,

we gathered

as many weapons as possible.

Majority of them remain

hidden in the woods.

Well done, Caleb.

We can't wait anymore.

This sword has not seen a

Hebrew hand for a generation.

And that is far too long,

my friend.

The king thinks we are weak.

His defenses are down.

No.

We are weak.

Not if I get Samson

to agree.

This is madness, and it

will end in our slaughter.

When did we stop believing

in our God?

This land was promised to us,

and we shall fight for it.

Either join us

or stay free of our course.

You leave again

so soon after weeks away.

- Don't tell me it's another Philistine.

- None of your concern, Brother.

Have you no regard

of your sacred vows?

You just travel from one bed to

another while God's people suffer.

You have no understanding

of what it is you speak.

This burden is far too great for

your small shoulders to bear.

Curve your judgment of me, Brother.

I warn you.

- Let me be.

- Let you be what exactly?

I tried.

I did, but I failed

many times over.

And I am done with failing.

God's not done with you.

The men are finally

ready to fight.

All we need from you, Brother,

is to lead us.

I will not lead them, you,

or anyone to certain death.

[knocking]

You came back.

I had

to see you again.

Please, come in.

[Samson, Delilah laughing]

I wonder if this is

what peace feels like.

Ah, peace is a dream

I can no longer feel.

Then tell me,

what do you feel?

Sorrow.

Loss.

I have known

my share of the same.

What if we were

to leave all this behind?

Begin again,

with no expectations.

Where would you go?

Goshen. Egypt.

See the cities of Joseph.

Kush, maybe, where they

have creatures tall as trees.

But you would never

leave your people.

I would have to force you

or bind you.

[chuckles]

As if anything

could ever bind you.

What if there was something

that could bind me?

Tell me,

and I will take you to all

those places tomorrow.

This would please you? To bind me

and make me like any other man.

You could never be like

any other man, bound or not.

Then tie me up

with fresh ropes,

ones that have

never been used,

and I will be like

any other man.

And you can take me

wherever you wish.

[Rallah] What good has come

from your time with Samson?

His loyalty seems to be

his only weakness.

If it is a weakness.

Do I need to remind you

who this man is, Delilah?

He is our enemy.

He's not out

to destroy us, Rallah,

only to protect those

he holds dear.

Let him be.

Do you have feelings

for him?

Don't be silly.

There was once a little sparrow

who stared all day long

through the bars of her cage,

longing to take flight.

When the chance arose,

she left her shelter.

But before she could

reach the sky,

a hawk descended upon her

and tore her apart,

piece by piece.

Let us finish

what we started.

Are you certain that the Hebrews

intend to attack the crown?

Yes, my king.

We swear on our lives.

A group of men have been

hiding weapons in my village.

Oh, this will be

a significant attack, my king.

We appreciate your protection

and good graces.

And you may continue to...

[heads rolling]

[chuckles]

[kisses]

What is wrong?

Delilah?

Why do you

keep things from me?

Keep things from you?

Yes.

You say you love me, but you refuse

to share your innermost secrets.

What secrets?

Who is this god who gives
