If Peter is in Jerusalem,

I will find him. He
knows who I am.

I'm not the same man you
once had reason to hate.

Who did you see?

I saw Jesus Christ,
the son of God.

Show me how to kill.

Take back those words,
Caligula, before I open your throat.

Do it.

Were you looking forward to
your new position in Rome?

Kneel! In the presence
of your new emperor!

Saul's become a
follower of Jesus.

You can't preach the word of
Jesus inside the synagogue.

That is exactly
what we have to do.

He's going to get us all killed.

Saul of Tarsus! We know
you're hiding! Blasphemer!

Saul!

Saul of Tarsus!

Find the enemy!

Find the blasphemer!

Ahhh!

There are men at every
gate. Everybody is armed

and they're screaming your name.

Barnabas, that was incredible.

You turned a
synagogue into a riot.

Everybody needs to hear the
gospel of Christ. Everybody.

This way.

I can get past the guards at
the gate, Saul, but you can't.

Shut the city gates.

Come on.

This is going to
be exciting, eh?

What? Going back to
Jerusalem, seeing Peter.

I'm sure they can hardly wait.

Come on.

This doesn't make
sense. Saul, of all people.

He just went mad.

One moment he was
normal, and then the next...

This isn't madness,
this is betrayal.

Did he seem genuine?
What does it matter?

He's insulted you!

His convictions
seemed sincere, yes.

Find him.

Shame him.

And kill him.

Why aren't you kneeling?

She's pretty.

Sorry?

Your wife.

Thank you.

Are you loyal to your Emperor?

Of course.

How loyal?

My husband and I... Not him.

I don't care about
him. I'm asking you.

How would you show
your devotion to me?

I... I...

Aurelius!

Yes, dear Emperor.

She doesn't like me.

My wife and I...
No! She doesn't.

It's obvious.

You like me?

I worship you. Worship?

I like that.

Even though you were
heard talking about me?

No.

What were the words?

I believe he said
you are insane.

I would never say... Aurelius,

you were my uncle's
trusted advisor.

Yes. And I would never say...

Did he talk about me, too?

Did you laugh at me together?

These are malicious rumors.

Are you loyal?

Absolutely.

Do you love me?

I do.

As much as you loved my uncle?

Of course.

But you swore
eternal devotion to him.

You offered up your life.

I did. And I'd do
the same to you.

Your life. Yes.

Then show me your sword.

Your life.

For Rome.

For my Emperor.

May the Gods
smile on my actions.

I am bored with Jerusalem.

I seem to remember an
argument between us, Governor.

Stand up.

It was a simple
misunderstanding.

This is an irritating region.

The food is vile. It's too hot.

And there is no
love for Rome or me.

You shall change that.

I thought, perhaps...

A statue.

Yes.

Statues of you
across the Empire.

From Gaul to Egypt.

Yes.

We shall have one
in this very room.

You will.

I also thought we will
have one in the Temple.

My likeness in the
Temple for all to see.

That will be a start.

Yes. Let's go.

It's so beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it is. Can we
keep moving? Please?

Amazing how something can seem
so wondrous for so long and then...

You know, I'd love
to discuss this more.

Perhaps, when we're not standing

in the middle of the
street for everyone to see.

We need to say our
goodbyes to the Emperor.

I'm sorry.

For what?

The way he looked at you.

Yes?

I was sent for?

This business with the statue.

What of it?

I saw you when he
announced it. I saw your face.

The wine was off.

You do know what will
happen if he sends it.

Jerusalem will riot and my
soldiers will kill thousands.

And the statue would desecrate
the Temple, not that you'd care.

No, but you do.

I see that. So
you could stop it.

Me?

Talk to him. Persuade him.

I don't think so.

But he's your friend.

He's the Emperor now.

All right. I'll try.

I'll take him back to Rome,

and maybe once
he's away from here,

he'll forget all about it.

If the Emperor's closest friend

is too frightened to
approach the subject...

We will find a way.

How do you control a madman?

This is not just your problem.

This is a problem for all Judea.

So?

So, we share the burden.

So, Peter...

Yes, you know, I was
thinking. Mmm-hmm.

Perhaps I should go
ahead and talk to them.

Well, what's to talk about?

We're all brothers
in Christ now.

Yeah. I'm not entirely
sure they see it that way.

Oh, you worry too much.

Saul? He's here. In Jerusalem.

One of the Temple guards
spotted him entering the city.

Find him.

This must be the
place. Wait here!

Let me talk to them first,

and then I'll bring
you up. All right.

You tell them everything that
happened, just the way I told you. Yes?

Word for word. Good.

I'm a little bit nervous.

Wait here.

Wait.

He's a changed man.

No one can change that much.

Just meet him. Talk with him.

No. You're an idiot.

Don't you see what you've done?

No. Oh, no, no.

So, this is where
you're all hiding now?

Hello, brothers.

You're no brother of mine.

Are you alone?

Of course. I'm no
threat, I swear it.

Brother Simon.

Don't call me that.

Do you really believe that
he has turned to Christ?

I do. His faith
burns very brightly.

Maybe a little too brightly.

I understand your fears, I do,

but I have been baptized
and made new again.

Have you, now? SAUL: Oh, Thomas.

I was on the road to Damascus
when Jesus visited me...

You don't get to speak His name.

Simon, please.

We were getting somewhere,

building something,
and then you came along

and you burned it all down.

Yes.

And?

And now I turned to Christ.

Is he always like this?

Only when he's awake.

Get out.

Saul.

Peter, John.

How wonderful.

I was having trouble making
myself understood and...

You've turned to Christ.

Peter, this is not
right. I know it's not.

I know how this looks,
but I can vouch for him.

I want to talk to him alone.

Just me and you.

Me and you.

We'll start on the
road to Damascus.

But hasn't Barnabas already...

I want to hear it
from your mouth.

Peter, we need
to start planning...

You are going to tell me
everything from the beginning.

But I'm your brother in Christ.

From the beginning.

It was like I'd
always been blind.

But now I saw for
the very first time.

You don't believe me, do you?

You wanted me dead.

I did. So you'll
understand my caution.

Yes.

But this is all a bit
ridiculous, surely.

I know what I've done, Peter,

but listening to
you all downstairs,

it was like you'd forgotten that
Jesus had taught you forgiveness.

I mean, you lived with Him,

you know His message,
so sorry, but I'm confused.

You're right, I did live with
Him, so don't start lecturing me.

What was He like?

He was my best
friend, and my teacher,

and my brother, and my
lord and master. He was...

He is pure love.

I miss Him.

I don't.

I feel Him.

In here.

His spirit burns within me.

We've all been visited by the
Holy Spirit, and I feel Him too.

I just wish sometimes that
things were a little clearer.

It's all perfectly clear to me.

Really? Yes.

I am a student of Gamaliel.

I am a Pharisaic scholar,

while you have
different talents.

But together, bound by
Jesus, we can work wonders.

Don't you see?

How can you have lived with Him,

heard His message, touched Him,

and still not see?

He was seen in the lower city.

I was sure that we would have
him, but he evaded capture.

How many times must
this man make a fool of you?

I will comb every inch of
the city until he is caught.

I will find him, I swear.

If the Emperor is finished,
then it's time to leave.

Already?

You will find a much
higher quality in Rome.

Much more eager.

I can't wait to be home.

And what about that fool,
Pilate? What did he want?

Oh, nothing. Just
more groveling.

Come on, your horse is
waiting. I'll race you to Joppa.

That girl didn't
like me very much.

May our Emperor have a
safe and uneventful journey.

Hail Caesar!

It's all right. No.

It's all right. Tabitha, it's
me. He's gone. It's over.

It's over.

What now?

I thought we might
finally have some peace.

Well, our Emperor has departed,

but he has left a
present for Jerusalem.

In fact, it is specifically
for the High Priest.

Oh? A statue of his likeness.

Which he commands to be
placed in the Temple itself.

As a reminder, if you wish,
of his divinity and his power.

A graven image
would defile the Temple

and break one of our most
sacred commandments.

He cannot do this.

And yet he does.

The Book of Daniel foretells
a moment such as this,

and it promises
death and destruction.

Well, now you have a
new god, and he is Roman.

When you have the blood of
thousands on your hands, Pilate,

what's a few thousand more?

Not if you control your people,

which is why you will stay
with me, here, as a guest,

to remind them
of the strong bond

between the Herod
and his Roman allies.

This is not about
political maneuvering.

This is about the
destruction of the Temple!

Will you keep your voice down?

The one thing I'm
sure we can agree upon

is that this cannot
become public knowledge.

If the zealots heard about this,

we'd be knee-deep
in corpses by morning.

Governor, we've always worked
together to find a common ground...

Well, I crucify your
undesirables, and you...

What do you do?

Has it been so long
since you came to me,

and told me that we
stand and fall together?

Do I really need to remind
you of all that I've done

to ensure peace in this region?

Caiaphas, this is
the Emperor's wish.

It isn't my problem, it's yours.

Deal with it.

There has to be a different
way to approach this.

If we work together

to keep the region stable
and calm and invisible, almost,

then I think the Emperor may
well be distracted by other things.

That should be easy.

We haven't had a riot
here for at least a week.

That's not enough.

You need blood.

It's not enough to be quiet and
stable, although it might help.

Your Caligula has
a taste for blood.

So, we find someone,

destroy them very publicly,
and let him know all about it.

It will seem as if the
whole of Judea is united

and accepts Rome as its master.

It's a piece of
theater, that's all.

And who is this scapegoat?

Have either of you heard of
a man called Saul of Tarsus?

Who is he?

He was a good man,

but he was corrupted
by the Nazarenes,

and now he is a blasphemer
and a danger to us all.

A danger? From
what I understand,

the Nazarene faith
is a peaceful one.

They claim Jesus is
King, not your Emperor.

That He is the Messiah,
a god, not your Caligula.

That's a direct challenge to
Rome's authority, is it not?

When you consider
all the trouble caused

by the needless
execution of Jesus of...

Not needless,
not needless at all.

I thought we were here to
discuss the destruction of this city

that you claim to love so well,

and the massacre of your people,

and this is all you can offer?

Please, tell me,
what will you do?

No, my dear,

wife of the Governor and
oppressor of our nation,

the question is
what will you do?

You know when I was
coming here, I was so excited.

Barnabas had told
me so much about you.

And yes, I know what we
were to each other before,

but I thought, I
genuinely thought,

that when I saw you,
you more than anyone,

I thought it would
be incredible.

But you just sit
there and judge me.

Why do you think He chose you?

Because nobody
could have stopped me

from getting to you, except Him.

Let's go out.

Let's preach his message.

Now we can go out.

Because of you
we've been hiding!

Will you never let this go?

Do none of you practice
what you preach?

It's not that easy!

Isn't it?

You all bicker and
prattle like children,

when inside each of
you is the greatest gift,

and you have to share
that with mankind.

You have to! And I have to, too.

You went after my daughter.

Yes, I did.

All I've ever done
is hurt you, Peter.

Jesus should've struck me down,

but He didn't. He forgave me.

And I must beg you
for your forgiveness, too.

Has He never had to forgive
you for anything, Peter?

You know, when Ananias
came to my house,

he told me that
Jesus had sent him.

He told Ananias
that I will suffer,

that I will suffer for His name.

I will never forgive
myself for what I did to you,

but I am scared, I am so scared

that the pain I feel right now

is nothing compared
to what will come.

It would be easier to run,

but I can't.

Now,

can we begin?

I'm looking for
someone, Saul of Tarsus.

Old Town.

But we can't go.

We can't go anywhere.

We are prisoners in
my own father's palace.

So we stay.

And do what?

When that statue arrives,
there will be carnage.

We'll be ripped to pieces because
of our association with Rome.

So we must prepare.

Prepare? What are
you talking about?

A statue of the Roman emperor

will be placed in
my father's Temple,

and it will be defiled.

Yes, and Jerusalem will rise up

and there will be war. Exactly.

So we need to
be back in Galilee.

Far away.

No. Don't you see?

There is no way that
Pilate can survive this.

When the statue comes,

you, the Herod of
Galilee, must be here,

ready to take his place,

reclaim what is
rightfully yours,

and get rid of these Jesus
followers once and for all.

Who's there?

Why is Peter even
talking to Saul?

Barnabas has vouched for him.

But as you said, why
would our Lord pick him?

It doesn't feel right.

I don't know.

I mean Jesus was always
surprising us, wasn't He?

The High Priest wishes to
speak with Saul of Tarsus.

Now, I believe that
he is hiding here

amongst you in
this neighborhood.

If anyone knows
where this man is,

then they would do
well to tell me now.

You heard. Out of the way!

Speak up if you know something.

Stand aside! Where is he?

Mary?

I need...

I need to see Peter,
now. I have to go now.

Can you...

I was supposed to
deliver fresh linen.

I'll do that.

It's fine. What is it?

Are they in danger?

Yes. No, I don't...

We all are.

Maybe. I don't know. Wait!

Here, for the cause. Joanna...

Please. I want to help.

Thank you.

I'll be back as soon
as I can. As soon as...

Was that...

Joanna, did I just see
that woman take money?

We don't need it. We
have plenty of money.

Who is it for?

The Apostles. To help
them spread the Word.

The Word?

Of Jesus?

After everything
that's happened?

Yes!

After you called me insane.

And saved your life.

It is my faith, Chuza.

My love...

I despair.

Before Jesus you
were quiet and good,

and like all the
rest, but now...

I just don't know
what to do with you.

I cannot be silent.

Do you always talk to
your husband like that?

Of course.

Who told you you
could speak that way?

Jesus gave me the strength.

Who is Jesus? Tell me about Him.

How do we stop it?

We are going to
stop it, aren't we?

Us against the Roman army?

It's our Temple.

All I'm saying is I'm not sure if
we can, even if we wanted to.

Maybe we shouldn't try. What?

Well, the Book
of Daniel... John!

The Book of Daniel
foretells this moment.

"At the Temple he will set up an
abomination that will cause desolation."

That's right.

"The ruler who will come will
destroy the city and the sanctuary."

So?

"The end will come like a flood.

"War will continue to the end."

Exactly, eternal war.

Jesus warned us.

He said it'd be worse than
anything ever imagined.

Until the end. This
could be the end.

Are you saying?

I don't know,
but He did tell us.

Yes.

"When the abomination stands
where it does not belong, then..."

Then Jesus will return.

When we find him let's
make a spectacle of the event.

Let the world see what happens
when you betray the High Priest.

Maybe. Maybe?

That man is laughing at you.

Well, that's hard to know
without seeing him in person.

So you have a
better plan, clearly?

He's a scholar,

a student of Gamaliel's, more
importantly, a Jewish brother.

We could have him
stoned, as you suggest.

But how much better if
we were to win him back?

And thereby, prove
the power of God?

You're just going
to talk to him?

I'm going to show the world
the true power of the Temple.

Caiaphas...

We've condemned and blamed

and bludgeoned
our opinion on others

for too long. It isn't working.

Rome has no such qualms
about showing its strength.

"Do not seek revenge
or bear a grudge,

"but love your
neighbor as yourself."

Now, perhaps you should send
the Book of Leviticus to the Emperor,

since you clearly seem to
think it will solve all our problems.

I will talk to Saul, and
then I'll decide what to do.

Until then, there's
nothing more to discuss.

A statue in the Temple,
Jesus warned us of this.

We need a plan. We
need to do something.

Sorry to burden you with
this, on top of everything else.

How's Saul?

He's... Irritating,
vain, arrogant.

He encouraged the
crowd to stone Stephen.

He came after my daughter.

He dragged men across
the desert to kill me.

He talks like he's in charge
and he never even knew Jesus,

but still it shouldn't matter.

You believe him?

You know the Temple
guards are hunting for him?

That's proof in itself.

Why didn't you welcome him in?

You told me Jesus
washed your feet, once,

how he upturned the
order of everything.

No one was too weak,
too poor, too sinful.

No one could be turned away.

Oh, Barnabas.

He's not the arrogant
one, I am. No.

Why him?

Open up! Open the door!

Open up. Open up, I say!

We're looking
for Saul of Tarsus.

Open the door.

Open up! We need
to search the house!

Open up! Open the
door. Open the door!

How bad will it be?

If we plan carefully, we
can limit the loss of life.

Limit it? Yes.

To what?

We should assume there
will be a full-scale rebellion.

I fear there will be
Roman lives lost, as well.

Well, what does that mean?

Hundreds? Thousands?

I fear that won't
be the end of it.

No, I imagine there will be several
attempts to destroy the statue.

This will last several
weeks, maybe months,

depending on how long it
takes for them to accept it.

Why should they accept it?

Claudia. CLAUDIA: No!

We have to stop it coming.

How?

We think. We plan.

You're the Governor of Judea.

It can't be stopped.

We can only plan for its
arrival. I know, I feel the same,

but that's all we can do.

We must reinforce the garrison.

I can't believe it. This could
be the end of the Temple.

How can you stand by and...

How can you not
want Jesus to return?

I do, of course I do,

but you can't be sure of that.

Tell me you won't just
sit by and watch it happen.

Neither of you!

Simon...

Well, now, some good news.

We welcome Saul

as our brother in Christ.

There is so much
I need to ask you,

because listening
to Peter upstairs,

I'm worried you're not fully
engaged in Jesus' message.

You've all lost your minds.

All of you.

This is my fault. No, Saul!

I have to make it right.

The Temple guards, Saul.

I don't care.

I'll go. It's better
that it's me.

Simon! Simon!

If you just listen to me,
you'll realize I'm right.

Have you seen him? Open up.

Saul! Saul of Tarsus!

Simon! Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

I knew I'd catch you.

You and your stupid, loud mouth.

You just don't know
when to shut up, do you?

More? Mmm.

I've heard that if you want
to meet certain people,

then this is the place to come.

Enemies of Rome?

I have information and
it is vital I get it to them.

The city will be
destroyed, otherwise.

Hear me, Mars. Please halt
your lust for war in this place.

And hear me, Vesta.

Please protect this
household from harm.

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to disturb.

Stay. Please.

Did you plan well
with my husband?

Will the city be crushed?

I have my orders.

Oh, I forgot.
You're just a soldier.

I am.

How easy your life must be.

Is there anything else?

No. Go away.

Wait!

I'm afraid.

How do you prepare yourself
for something like this?

I'm sure it won't come to that.

No.

I'll be called to
Rome before then.

The Emperor has
fixed his eye on me

and he will use
me to punish Pilate.

What will you do then?

I would...

I would not let that happen.

And if it were
expressly ordered.

Would you defend me?

Your husband would
fight for you, I'm sure.

You men.

How easily you destroy things.

I'm just...

I know.

I know.

Just go.

Very well.

Take him upstairs.

This is the first step.

You can get up and
leave now, if you want.

You'll never see me again,
and we'll let you live in peace.

I need to talk to your leader.

The future of the
Temple depends on it.

I know Boaz is dead.

Boaz was never our leader.

The second step takes
you across the threshold.

There's no return
after that, Simon.

You know me?

We know what you are.

And we accept your beliefs.

We will protect you,
and you will protect us,

if you take the second step.

All right.

Yes.

So, talk.

Give us this day
our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
