least obey orders here head up but what

is it missing my purse is empty but my

heart is

if a patriot should want to join with

other Patriots for the good of Israel

and swear eternal md2 wrong I swear by

this covenant of blood

I declare Nathan the innkeeper our

brother from now on his life like ours

has given to freedom for Israel if I was

you I called you together without

telling my brother I don't agree with

his policy of waiting I say attack a

Roman anytime you can you're right this

is a time for action yes if we could set

the prisoners free we must set them free

better to dive and run the Roman galleys

you all with me

hi good first we must be sure that the.

Centurion is well entertained the sea

you take care that mate with pleasure

then when night has gone after the

evening meal Sarah

my mother's jewels your father has a

from his father and gave them to your

mother when they repeat row

folic acid ah now Lord our God King of

the universe who has sanctified us with.

His commandments how many

My sons this has been a day of sadness

for our village but it has its thread of

joy a thread that runs through all the

tapestry of life this thread must not be

broken

I'm an old man full of years time I saw

my line carried on and my name

perpetuated today I talked with general

the father of camel with regard to a

marriage between our houses the

arrangements have been concluded the

betrothal will follow a hope displeases

you my son

you mean I I am to marry tomorrow so.

Jamiel and I have decided these jewels

will be your gift to her father you say

come on Sarah could it be

yes but I thought that I its usual for

the oldest son to be married before the

younger true in fact samuel first

suggested that you should marry tom ah

well then why but on consideration

realizing that should be many years in.

Jerusalem studying Jaime will decide it

you rather see his grandchildren born

here at hope but father this also fell

in with my plans are time enough for you

to marry when you become a scribe and a

rabbi of your people well then you mean

house she'll be a sister to you and a

good wife to you my son as your well

giveth all good things

the Sun on the grape bring it to our

lips this sweet refreshment you're

drinking a good ear my friend

I can't neglect the hospitality of our

good host are you sure the prisoners are

we're guarded when I take prisoners they

don't escape a lot just the same I've

got an uncomfortable feeling that sour

cabbage you eat no I'm serious

I could spell danger you can't smell

anything but I'm afraid they're always

afraid you got the heart and the nose of

a rabbit these paper won't make any

trouble

well they might attack you oh they won't

attack the Roman Empire that's me

You

come on

crying you know my father just told me

fathers is greater I won't give you up I

want you I want you to but go away

together leave the village we'll go

tonight tonight how could we where could

Sack dare to do this

yes I got really good man maybe I am the

least the prisoners are free you gone

behind my back you owe me a wrong turn

Thank you it I told you I smell dangers

have your yapping Korean sir you see the

birds have flown but Sir I thought that

the you thought you mean you didn't see

you didn't see any men standing around

- the fire did you there's only a trick in

- you well why don't you speak give me.

Leave and I'll put every man that's

bullet to the sword bloodthirsty isn't

he take your men to the end stand guard

over the silver

it I thought you said you never lost a

prisoner don't bother me I'm thinking

hmm this escape is a disgrace to Rome

I want those prisoners yeah but how can

you give them time they'll come home to

roost not why you are here of course not

we will draw from the village tomorrow

and a fortnight we'll come back and

force dagger for weapon of zealots so

entice their work in that case when we

come back I'll let Claudia indulge his

appetite for slaughter we'll clean out

this nest of vipers.

And must have dropped it outside did

some Jorian pick it up I saw it in his

head I heard him say we'll clean out

this nest of vipers

then there's only one thing to do strike

before he does he'll wait until morning

the Romans don't like working in the

dark wait longer than that he has enough

men to make his move now.

Centurions no fool he's in no hurry but

sooner or later you'll take revenge for

this nice board then why wait we

outnumber the Romans

what's the matter Joel have you lost

your nerve you're supposed to be our

leader but you seem to have no stomach

for doing anything

a pack of sheep threatened by wolves

and you want a new shepherd yeah alright

but hear me first I've said you'd do

nothing I've said wait not because my

nerve was gone and my stomach was weak

but because I had an idea now listen

this morning while most of you in the

fields Nathan brought word of a certain

man in the north the Galilean was

gathering the people around him

multitude to follow him and already

calling the king of the Jews I had made

up my mind to go and seek this man where

he may be the Messiah we've all been

praying for it seems to me this might

accomplish more than killing a few.

Romans for I believe that until we find

a leader for the nation none of us will

be safe

none of us will be free on my way I

meant to spread the word of revolt to

the country as I passed so that I might

offer this man the strength of a nation

now that's what I'd planned it's for you

to approve or disapprove I stay or I go

as you decide this sword belonged to a

man of my name who fought long ago in

the army of the great warrior judas

maccabees

take it and offer it to the man of.

Galilee my allegiance goes with the

sword yeah

and to him who accepted

everything's quiet yes too quiet

I notice you didn't come forward to lay

hands on the sword oh why not because I

think you're going on a fool's errand

maybe you're right

the man's on a fool's errand from the

time he's born but someday some man may

find what we're all looking for peace

happiness a chance to live you believe

in what's going to happen I believe in

making it happen now

yes you've proved that tonight and as a

result you brought danger on every man

woman and child in this village on

tomorrow ma why do you speak of her I

because I yeah now I remember always

always you looked at camera and asked

where you'll not follow that to the well

and evening I've loved her always as I

love her now sure dad

what is this evil eye here is it true

that you covet the woman I've chosen to
