1
00:01:27,522 --> 00:01:30,423
To all things, there is a purpose.
2
00:01:30,626 --> 00:01:33,220
It was the time of the judges.
3
00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:37,990
The Lord had punished the childrenof Israel for their sins against him.
4
00:01:39,334 --> 00:01:43,270
He had delivered theminto the hands of the Philistines.
5
00:01:45,607 --> 00:01:47,734
Conquerors of the people of Israel...
6
00:01:47,909 --> 00:01:51,777
... they exploited their empirewith cruel efficiency.
7
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:54,444
But they were alsoan advanced people.
8
00:01:54,616 --> 00:01:58,245
In a world of bronze, they had discovered the secret of iron.
9
00:01:58,487 --> 00:02:04,119
And with this, they crushed anydisobedience swiftly and without mercy.
10
00:02:20,141 --> 00:02:23,440
God's punishmentof the people of Israel was severe...
11
00:02:23,611 --> 00:02:25,476
... but he did not abandon them.
12
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:30,083
And their faith grew in their struggleagainst their Philistine oppressors.
13
00:03:40,688 --> 00:03:42,451
Do not fear, woman.
14
00:03:43,491 --> 00:03:46,983
The Lord of life has not forgotten you
in your barrenness.
15
00:03:47,161 --> 00:03:51,894
I am the messenger come to tell you
that your womb will bear fruit.
16
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:56,264
You will conceive a son,
a Nazarite dedicated to God.
17
00:03:56,437 --> 00:04:00,498
He will eat no unclean food
and drink no strong drink.
18
00:04:00,674 --> 00:04:03,700
And he will grow stronger
than a hundred men.
19
00:04:03,878 --> 00:04:07,575
He is the Lord's gift,
chosen to begin the liberation...
20
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:10,581
... of your people from the Philistine.
21
00:04:10,785 --> 00:04:15,654
Look through me, and you will see
where his future lies.
22
00:04:17,258 --> 00:04:20,056
As a mark of obedience to the Lord...
23
00:04:20,227 --> 00:04:22,195
... his hair shall never be cut.
24
00:04:22,363 --> 00:04:25,526
This shall be the symbol
of his alliance with God...
25
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:27,894
... and of his consecration to him.
26
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:30,901
His strength resides in the Lord.
27
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:34,063
This secret is his and yours alone.
28
00:04:34,241 --> 00:04:38,143
Do not break this pact
with the almighty.
29
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:06,303
Manoah!
30
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,434
A man back there at the well...
31
00:05:09,676 --> 00:05:12,144
A strange man. Listen to me.
32
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:14,905
He appeared to me at the well.
33
00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:16,776
- A Philistine?
- No.
34
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:18,713
No. A stranger.
35
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:21,183
- What are you talking about?
- Listen to me.
36
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:23,413
"The Lord of life, " he said.
37
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,057
He said...
38
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:29,355
... I would conceive
and give birth to a son.
39
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:35,225
And if he said we were rich,
would you believe that too?
40
00:05:35,401 --> 00:05:38,029
He was an apparition. It was...
41
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:40,263
It was like a miracle.
42
00:05:41,608 --> 00:05:43,075
Mara...
43
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:46,408
... you are barren.
44
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,345
You know that.
45
00:05:58,591 --> 00:06:00,525
I have lain...
46
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:02,991
... with no one but you, Manoah.
47
00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:07,126
The child will be ours.
48
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:13,168
And a gift to our people.
49
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,344
And the land yielded its harvest.
50
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:27,976
And upon it, God began to sowthe seeds of justice for his people.
51
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,247
For they did not bow downtheir heads...
52
00:06:30,423 --> 00:06:33,586
... or worship the false idolsof their masters.
53
00:06:47,106 --> 00:06:49,301
But after 40 long years...
54
00:06:49,475 --> 00:06:52,569
... deliverance was at handfor the children of Israel.
55
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:56,511
Their prayers had been heardby the God with no face...
56
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:58,810
... and a name that is never spoken.
57
00:06:58,985 --> 00:07:01,215
The one true God.
58
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,328
Do you...
59
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:18,626
... want to hold him?
60
00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:21,330
But he's so small.
61
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,634
I might drop him.
62
00:08:38,383 --> 00:08:40,908
- Amen.
- Amen.
63
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:57,701
Samson.
64
00:09:22,327 --> 00:09:23,589
Father...
65
00:09:24,396 --> 00:09:27,388
... how will I know when it is time
to fulfill my destiny?
66
00:09:28,967 --> 00:09:30,264
The Lord will tell you.
67
00:09:31,169 --> 00:09:34,366
- When?
- When the time is right.
68
00:09:35,373 --> 00:09:37,739
- A sign?
- Perhaps.
69
00:09:37,909 --> 00:09:39,638
What kind of a sign?
70
00:09:40,278 --> 00:09:41,540
I don't know.
71
00:09:42,814 --> 00:09:44,611
He gave you strength.
72
00:09:44,783 --> 00:09:47,308
He will also give you understanding.
73
00:09:51,723 --> 00:09:54,123
I am but one man. One.
74
00:09:54,292 --> 00:09:57,659
A Nazarite bonded to the Lord.
75
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:00,857
There's no need to search for signs.
76
00:10:01,833 --> 00:10:04,028
Your birth was the sign.
77
00:10:17,949 --> 00:10:21,441
The stranger said,
"Chosen to deliver his people"?
78
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:23,053
Those were his words.
79
00:10:26,324 --> 00:10:28,121
To deliver his people.
80
00:10:34,466 --> 00:10:35,831
It will be hard.
81
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:41,662
Every gift is also a burden.
82
00:10:59,723 --> 00:11:03,591
- Father says he's lazy.
- And slow-witted.
83
00:11:06,096 --> 00:11:07,688
Samson.
84
00:11:14,104 --> 00:11:15,435
Put them in the net!
85
00:11:15,606 --> 00:11:17,335
- Samson.
- Let me down.
86
00:11:17,508 --> 00:11:19,908
- Samson, no.
- Let me out of this net now.
87
00:11:20,077 --> 00:11:22,477
Samson, get us down.
88
00:11:23,414 --> 00:11:25,882
Samson, get us out of here.
89
00:11:26,317 --> 00:11:29,252
Stop, Samson. Stop.
90
00:11:29,486 --> 00:11:31,317
- Let me out.
- Samson, stop now.
91
00:11:31,488 --> 00:11:34,514
- Let me down out of this net.
- Samson.
92
00:11:35,125 --> 00:11:37,559
- Samson.
- Let us down.
93
00:11:37,795 --> 00:11:40,263
Let us down now!
94
00:11:44,635 --> 00:11:47,263
Samson was gentle, good, thoughtful...
95
00:11:47,438 --> 00:11:51,898
... and unsure, as all men are, of the purpose of his life.
96
00:11:52,076 --> 00:11:55,705
He began to walk the long roadto understanding and faith.
97
00:11:55,913 --> 00:12:00,043
A journey which must be madeby every man alone.
98
00:12:09,727 --> 00:12:13,754
That's it, Your Highness. That's it.
Watch your guard.
99
00:12:14,064 --> 00:12:17,261
In the palace of the kingof the Philistines...
100
00:12:17,601 --> 00:12:20,229
... another young manwas learning the skills of life...
101
00:12:20,404 --> 00:12:22,395
... through the games he played.
102
00:12:26,277 --> 00:12:28,074
Watch your guard.
103
00:12:46,363 --> 00:12:50,060
Intelligence, attention, concentration.
I watch you.
104
00:12:50,234 --> 00:12:54,102
You're like a butterfly.
You're here, you're there, you're gone.
105
00:12:54,805 --> 00:12:56,534
Focus your attention.
106
00:12:56,740 --> 00:12:58,401
Your Highness...
107
00:12:58,709 --> 00:13:01,234
... focus your mind completely.
108
00:13:01,712 --> 00:13:04,203
Yes. Yes, I know.
109
00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:08,515
Try again, general?
110
00:13:10,587 --> 00:13:12,384
As you wish, Your Highness.
111
00:13:17,094 --> 00:13:19,756
Never underestimate your enemy.
112
00:13:21,565 --> 00:13:23,499
No, Father.
113
00:13:30,507 --> 00:13:33,067
- Good day, Delilah.
- General Tariq.
114
00:13:33,243 --> 00:13:35,211
You may rise.
115
00:13:39,349 --> 00:13:42,807
I wonder what her father would
think of her now, eh, commander?
116
00:13:42,985 --> 00:13:45,283
A true friend and a fine soldier.
117
00:13:45,455 --> 00:13:48,151
Who, I'm told, never underestimated
his enemy.
118
00:13:48,391 --> 00:13:51,758
Here, use this one, commander.
119
00:13:52,328 --> 00:13:55,126
- An Israelite sword.
- What's an Israelite sword?
120
00:13:55,298 --> 00:13:56,629
Bronze.
121
00:13:56,933 --> 00:13:58,662
They're a very primitive people.
122
00:13:58,835 --> 00:14:01,827
Who have only ever found
a single god to worship.
123
00:14:02,271 --> 00:14:03,670
Attack.
124
00:14:08,811 --> 00:14:11,678
Even a broken sword will kill you...
125
00:14:11,848 --> 00:14:14,442
... if you let down your guard,
Your Highness.
126
00:14:14,617 --> 00:14:17,848
You remind us every day
of the reasons why my father...
127
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:20,545
... values you so highly, commander.
128
00:14:20,723 --> 00:14:23,351
He's possessed
of a soldier's most powerful weapon:
129
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:26,251
His intelligence.
130
00:14:53,022 --> 00:14:54,751
My name is Yoram.
131
00:14:54,924 --> 00:14:57,484
I was more than 10 years youngerthan Samson.
132
00:14:57,660 --> 00:14:59,594
I loved him as a brother.
133
00:14:59,796 --> 00:15:03,527
We were both Nazarites, dedicated to God at birth.
134
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,627
Did I know even then...
135
00:15:05,802 --> 00:15:09,101
... that within himlay the destiny of our people?
136
00:15:09,405 --> 00:15:13,273
Perhaps I knew only that I would bewith him until the end.
137
00:15:54,584 --> 00:15:56,381
There was no warning?
138
00:15:57,653 --> 00:16:00,144
The Philistines came
from over there...
139
00:16:00,623 --> 00:16:02,591
... out of the sunset.
140
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,692
There was no time to run.
141
00:16:08,397 --> 00:16:10,763
And we had no arms.
142
00:16:15,872 --> 00:16:17,499
My father...
143
00:16:17,940 --> 00:16:19,532
... my mother...
144
00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:22,673
... and my brothers.
145
00:16:23,513 --> 00:16:25,413
They killed them all.
146
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:29,845
I was not spared but overlooked.
147
00:16:32,587 --> 00:16:34,919
The only one who escaped.
148
00:16:42,397 --> 00:16:44,194
Naomi...
149
00:16:45,967 --> 00:16:47,730
... I'm sorry.
150
00:16:48,103 --> 00:16:49,536
Sorry?
151
00:16:51,106 --> 00:16:52,801
For bringing back that memory.
152
00:16:53,275 --> 00:16:55,607
It never leaves.
153
00:17:01,683 --> 00:17:05,744
Come with me. You will hear.
You will learn.
154
00:17:06,121 --> 00:17:08,453
Please, Samson. Come with me.
155
00:17:09,558 --> 00:17:11,082
For me.
156
00:17:11,293 --> 00:17:15,195
For you, anything.
Except one of those meetings.
157
00:17:16,798 --> 00:17:18,663
I have to go.
158
00:17:19,234 --> 00:17:20,667
Naomi...
159
00:17:20,869 --> 00:17:24,498
... you are far too gentle
for the harsh words of rebellion.
160
00:17:24,706 --> 00:17:26,936
And you can hardly even lift a sword.
161
00:17:27,108 --> 00:17:31,238
- It is you who has been chosen.
- I doubt it.
162
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,747
- Your mother refuses...
- Naomi, stop this.
163
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:38,010
If I am to be called,
God will call me.
164
00:17:38,286 --> 00:17:40,846
Not you and your rabble.
165
00:17:42,991 --> 00:17:44,788
I am a Nazarite.
166
00:17:45,393 --> 00:17:47,452
I pray. I try.
167
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,731
But there is a great absence.
168
00:17:54,502 --> 00:17:58,438
Seas can open, Samson.
Bushes can burn.
169
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,165
For Moses and for you.
170
00:18:01,476 --> 00:18:05,742
I am one man. How can one man
destroy the Philistines? Tell me.
171
00:18:06,781 --> 00:18:08,976
- Our army will...
- Your army has wooden clubs...
172
00:18:09,150 --> 00:18:11,710
... and swords of bronze.
- And righteousness.
173
00:18:11,886 --> 00:18:15,253
Why is it that every people think
they alone are the righteous ones?
174
00:18:15,423 --> 00:18:17,254
You doubt it?
175
00:18:17,826 --> 00:18:22,229
Anyway, righteousness never stopped
the Philistine spear that killed your mother.
176
00:18:23,732 --> 00:18:26,963
Righteousness did not give them
weapons of iron.
177
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,574
Do not make me beg.
178
00:18:34,042 --> 00:18:35,907
Open your eyes.
179
00:18:38,179 --> 00:18:40,204
I have seen nothing.
180
00:18:40,415 --> 00:18:42,474
I have heard nothing.
181
00:18:42,984 --> 00:18:46,545
- I am nothing.
- A man is what he chooses to be.
182
00:18:46,955 --> 00:18:48,923
And I choose nothing.
183
00:18:51,059 --> 00:18:52,549
Why?
184
00:18:52,827 --> 00:18:55,489
Tell me, Samson.
What are you frightened of?
185
00:18:55,730 --> 00:18:57,163
Nothing.
186
00:18:58,667 --> 00:19:02,194
- Then what do you want?
- I want...
187
00:19:03,071 --> 00:19:04,436
... everything.
188
00:19:42,609 --> 00:19:44,509
Come, come.
189
00:20:35,996 --> 00:20:37,657
How is it, Ira...
190
00:20:37,831 --> 00:20:41,824
... that we are still bent
beneath the heel of these Philistines?
191
00:20:42,002 --> 00:20:43,560
It's God's punishment.
192
00:20:43,771 --> 00:20:45,636
When our people
abandoned his ways...
193
00:20:45,806 --> 00:20:49,469
... he brought them down on us
that we might atone for our sins.
194
00:20:49,643 --> 00:20:51,770
But things are better than they were.
195
00:20:52,012 --> 00:20:53,877
No more burned villages...
196
00:20:54,047 --> 00:20:57,312
... no more young people
taken into slavery.
197
00:20:57,518 --> 00:20:59,850
And the fruit of suffering...
198
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:01,453
... is wisdom.
199
00:21:02,189 --> 00:21:05,158
Then we must be
the wisest people on earth.
200
00:21:05,626 --> 00:21:07,025
Ira...
201
00:21:07,561 --> 00:21:10,086
... you are the elder of our village.
202
00:21:10,531 --> 00:21:13,830
- I need your counsel.
- It's freely given...
203
00:21:14,301 --> 00:21:16,394
... and often wrong.
204
00:21:16,937 --> 00:21:18,802
What's Samson done now?
205
00:21:19,907 --> 00:21:22,068
Nothing. And more nothing.
206
00:21:23,143 --> 00:21:25,475
He leads an empty life.
207
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:28,639
It's as if he believed
the world owed him something.
208
00:21:29,783 --> 00:21:32,445
Moses, too, was raised as a prince.
209
00:21:32,853 --> 00:21:35,413
My sons are just the same.
210
00:21:35,622 --> 00:21:38,750
And without Samson's special gifts.
211
00:21:38,992 --> 00:21:43,292
"Samson caught us in the net.
Samson caught us in the... "
212
00:21:45,699 --> 00:21:48,293
Tell me. Has Samson ever cried?
213
00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:51,198
For one hour after he was born.
214
00:21:52,072 --> 00:21:56,099
It's as if he feared the pain
that life had in store for him.
215
00:21:56,276 --> 00:22:01,145
- Since then, never.
- Truly, he is remarkable.
216
00:22:01,315 --> 00:22:04,341
His temperament is kind,
his wit is quick.
217
00:22:04,551 --> 00:22:06,018
And his strength...
218
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:09,383
He has all the gifts but one:
219
00:22:09,623 --> 00:22:12,456
Purpose. It is the fuel of life.
220
00:22:15,262 --> 00:22:16,889
Come on.
221
00:22:18,798 --> 00:22:20,459
Come on.
222
00:22:24,904 --> 00:22:26,394
Pull.
223
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,884
- Naomi.
- What?
224
00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:45,817
Maybe we should go.
225
00:22:46,058 --> 00:22:48,549
They come by every day
at about this time.
226
00:22:48,928 --> 00:22:52,329
No. It's your turn, Yoram.
227
00:22:56,469 --> 00:22:58,403
Go on. It's your turn.
228
00:23:01,374 --> 00:23:04,434
- Come on. Philistines. Let's go.
- No.
229
00:23:04,911 --> 00:23:07,505
Go. Fetch Samson, quickly.
230
00:23:14,987 --> 00:23:16,614
Hey!
231
00:23:16,789 --> 00:23:20,748
I've never seen goats riding on goats.
232
00:23:23,629 --> 00:23:26,359
Why don't you get off
and milk them, huh?
233
00:23:30,002 --> 00:23:31,560
Go.
234
00:23:34,407 --> 00:23:38,810
Does the smell come from the beasts
or from the masters, huh?
235
00:23:42,048 --> 00:23:43,743
Samson!
236
00:23:44,350 --> 00:23:46,215
Samson, come quick!
237
00:23:46,385 --> 00:23:48,512
The Philistines, they have Naomi.
238
00:23:48,721 --> 00:23:51,053
Samson, please hurry.
239
00:23:51,223 --> 00:23:53,214
Move away. Move.
240
00:23:58,931 --> 00:24:01,297
Come on. Come on, quickly!
241
00:24:01,567 --> 00:24:03,558
Come on, let's go.
242
00:24:08,541 --> 00:24:09,803
Pig!
243
00:24:13,846 --> 00:24:18,306
Your mother was a donkey.
And yours, a mule.
244
00:24:22,788 --> 00:24:24,380
Hold her.
245
00:24:26,092 --> 00:24:28,083
I have two swords here.
246
00:24:28,327 --> 00:24:32,024
Impaling you with either
will give me great satisfaction.
247
00:24:32,198 --> 00:24:34,257
Best be the iron one.
248
00:24:34,433 --> 00:24:36,765
Save the other for your mother.
249
00:24:37,636 --> 00:24:38,864
Israelite whore.
250
00:24:56,222 --> 00:24:59,157
- Naomi, stay there. I'll help him.
- No, no.
251
00:24:59,325 --> 00:25:00,553
Stay here.
252
00:25:09,335 --> 00:25:10,858
Samson!
253
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:23,777
Get out!
254
00:25:24,082 --> 00:25:25,344
Go!
255
00:25:27,152 --> 00:25:28,744
Go!
256
00:25:36,161 --> 00:25:37,628
You broke them!
257
00:25:37,829 --> 00:25:41,026
Without a weapon, Samson broke them.
258
00:25:44,335 --> 00:25:48,362
You have been chosen.
How can you doubt it?
259
00:25:52,677 --> 00:25:54,304
Samson!
260
00:25:54,479 --> 00:25:58,575
Without a weapon, Samson broke them.
261
00:26:09,894 --> 00:26:14,524
Please, Manoah. Let us in.
At least talk to these people.
262
00:26:15,233 --> 00:26:18,794
You know us all. There's nothing
that we don't give to this house.
263
00:26:18,970 --> 00:26:21,268
I'm not letting any of you in here.
Go now.
264
00:26:21,439 --> 00:26:23,873
- You hear me? I said, now.
- This is important.
265
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:28,035
Mara, you must speak to him.
We need him. A leader.
266
00:26:28,213 --> 00:26:31,205
- Someone our people will stand with.
- I need him too.
267
00:26:31,416 --> 00:26:33,680
- Mara, these are the...
- I know who they are.
268
00:26:33,852 --> 00:26:37,288
- Carpenters, shepherds, plowmen.
- The leaders of our rebellion.
269
00:26:37,455 --> 00:26:41,448
Rebellion. How many weapons
do you have? How many made of iron?
270
00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:46,423
Mara, God's will brought us your son
to destroy the enemies of our people.
271
00:26:46,598 --> 00:26:48,793
Manoah, you must speak to Samson.
272
00:26:48,967 --> 00:26:51,731
- With his father's urging, he might...
- What am I to urge?
273
00:26:53,037 --> 00:26:54,971
That he die before his time?
274
00:26:55,507 --> 00:26:58,135
The son Mara and I prayed for
all our life.
275
00:26:58,309 --> 00:27:00,903
- Manoah, listen to us.
- I've heard you.
276
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:03,138
Our son is the Lord's instrument.
277
00:27:03,314 --> 00:27:06,340
And in the Lord's time, he will obey.
278
00:27:06,518 --> 00:27:10,511
In God's good time. Not in yours.
279
00:27:13,158 --> 00:27:15,422
You should have insisted.
280
00:27:16,895 --> 00:27:19,625
- Why wouldn't he listen?
- I don't know, you were there.
281
00:27:19,797 --> 00:27:21,731
You saw how...
282
00:27:25,603 --> 00:27:28,094
Oh, Lord, tell me what to do.
283
00:27:30,375 --> 00:27:32,036
Enslave him, Father.
284
00:27:32,210 --> 00:27:35,839
Burn his village before the Israelites
rally to a new hero.
285
00:27:36,314 --> 00:27:39,340
There is nothing to be gained
by burning an Israelite village.
286
00:27:39,517 --> 00:27:42,213
- In a week, it will be old news.
- Legends grow, Father.
287
00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:44,650
Ask your courtiers
what they have heard.
288
00:27:44,822 --> 00:27:48,519
Single-handed, two patrols.
Some say 10.
289
00:27:50,895 --> 00:27:54,262
Only an empty head
can be full of these tales.
290
00:27:58,703 --> 00:28:01,001
And what do you think,
Commander Tariq?
291
00:28:01,172 --> 00:28:03,696
I think all people need their heroes.
292
00:28:04,241 --> 00:28:07,039
If they don't exist,
they must create them.
293
00:28:07,544 --> 00:28:09,569
- You know what it means?
- What?
294
00:28:09,746 --> 00:28:12,442
- His name, Samson.
- Tell me.
295
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:16,745
- "Son of the sun. "
- The son of the sun.
296
00:28:19,223 --> 00:28:20,815
And your name.
297
00:28:21,024 --> 00:28:22,286
Mine?
298
00:28:22,492 --> 00:28:25,825
"Delilah, " it's an ancient word.
It means "desire. "
299
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:28,191
And do you think that appropriate,
commander?
300
00:28:29,099 --> 00:28:30,760
In every way.
301
00:28:33,837 --> 00:28:36,203
But the son of the sun.
302
00:28:37,207 --> 00:28:40,574
I'd like to see this Samson for myself.
303
00:28:41,545 --> 00:28:44,173
You're a loose woman, Delilah.
304
00:28:44,381 --> 00:28:46,281
And if I weren't...
305
00:28:46,450 --> 00:28:48,884
... I'd find that remark offensive,
general.
306
00:28:51,121 --> 00:28:52,986
His hair is long.
307
00:28:53,290 --> 00:28:55,952
He wears it in seven braids.
308
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,393
Some kind of religious significance.
309
00:28:59,796 --> 00:29:01,388
Is there anything you don't know?
310
00:29:01,565 --> 00:29:05,296
I'll never know how
to please a loose woman.
311
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,668
Our requests of a man
are very modest.
312
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,570
That is the principal part
of our charm.
313
00:29:13,543 --> 00:29:16,011
Only by very modest request...
314
00:29:16,179 --> 00:29:19,410
... could any man
meet your expectations.
315
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:22,882
Except perhaps this Israelite hero.
316
00:29:26,757 --> 00:29:30,386
Men like him are either
quickly forgotten...
317
00:29:31,995 --> 00:29:35,396
... or never forgotten.
- Nothing certain, eh?
318
00:29:36,466 --> 00:29:38,730
Nothing but death.
319
00:29:39,536 --> 00:29:42,903
Is that it? It seems very little.
320
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:45,405
And encompasses everything.
321
00:32:55,831 --> 00:32:57,162
No!
322
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:40,159
Strong, yes,
but with a sweet modesty.
323
00:34:40,335 --> 00:34:42,963
Did you see how he ran?
Like a gazelle.
324
00:34:43,137 --> 00:34:45,697
A woman would die for a man like that.
325
00:34:45,873 --> 00:34:48,239
Out of the way, fool.
326
00:34:49,177 --> 00:34:52,840
A gazelle is so much more graceful
than a baboon, is it not?
327
00:34:53,681 --> 00:34:55,114
General?
328
00:34:55,516 --> 00:34:59,043
If the future of our people
is to be secured...
329
00:34:59,721 --> 00:35:03,953
... perhaps the time has come
to think of different stratagems.
330
00:35:04,559 --> 00:35:06,049
Such as?
331
00:35:06,227 --> 00:35:08,923
The greatest victory
any general can achieve.
332
00:35:09,597 --> 00:35:11,258
Peace.
333
00:35:16,504 --> 00:35:18,369
I knew something had happened.
334
00:35:18,539 --> 00:35:20,871
You haven't been fighting
over a woman, have you?
335
00:35:21,075 --> 00:35:24,977
All the single girls are in love with you.
Some of the married ones too.
336
00:35:25,179 --> 00:35:27,170
- It wasn't a fight over Naomi, was it?
- No.
337
00:35:27,348 --> 00:35:28,940
- Who then?
- No one.
338
00:35:30,718 --> 00:35:32,811
- I saw...
- Saw what?
339
00:35:33,588 --> 00:35:35,112
A woman...
340
00:35:35,657 --> 00:35:38,717
... like no other.
- No woman gave you these wounds.
341
00:35:38,893 --> 00:35:41,123
Samson, be careful.
342
00:35:51,973 --> 00:35:53,201
Father.
343
00:35:53,408 --> 00:35:55,399
- Father...
- Now, wait.
344
00:35:56,277 --> 00:35:59,405
- General, continue.
- Well, it would take time.
345
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:03,175
But once they saw how a lasting treaty
would benefit them...
346
00:36:03,351 --> 00:36:05,251
... we could focus
our attention elsewhere.
347
00:36:05,420 --> 00:36:09,880
- A treaty? With who? What is this?
- This is something kings must learn...
348
00:36:10,058 --> 00:36:11,855
... and princes must practice.
349
00:36:12,026 --> 00:36:15,325
- It's called listening.
- No one in this royal house should listen...
350
00:36:15,496 --> 00:36:18,329
... to any proposal for a treaty
with the tribes of Israel.
351
00:36:18,499 --> 00:36:20,558
Their subjugation is their treaty.
352
00:36:20,735 --> 00:36:22,896
It's only by listening that one hears.
353
00:36:23,071 --> 00:36:26,097
The general's proposals have merit.
354
00:36:26,274 --> 00:36:28,606
- Continue.
- Lf we might consider...
355
00:36:28,776 --> 00:36:32,769
... making official peace with them,
turning them into independent allies...
356
00:36:32,947 --> 00:36:34,676
Allies? The Israelites?
357
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:37,574
Better to plunge your hand
into a basket of vipers.
358
00:36:37,752 --> 00:36:42,950
The art of making a decision
is firstly to know what your choices are.
359
00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:45,514
General.
360
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:50,920
What would we achieve by having
a vassal state on our eastern borders?
361
00:36:51,098 --> 00:36:55,762
Nothing but a breeding ground
for rebellion, draining my manpower...
362
00:36:55,969 --> 00:36:58,369
... and your treasury.
- Our treasury.
363
00:36:59,139 --> 00:37:01,539
You always know
where I'm vulnerable, eh?
364
00:37:02,943 --> 00:37:07,175
But we would allow them access
to the sea and allow them to trade.
365
00:37:07,347 --> 00:37:10,282
My experience of life,
beginning with my own family...
366
00:37:10,450 --> 00:37:12,543
... is that by giving some
of what is wanted...
367
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,552
... only whets the appetite for more.
- We would continue...
368
00:37:15,722 --> 00:37:17,713
... to maintain complete control, Majesty.
369
00:37:18,658 --> 00:37:21,024
The illusion of independence.
370
00:37:21,228 --> 00:37:24,061
It would take a magician
mightier than any I've met.
371
00:37:24,231 --> 00:37:26,222
And their religion? No, no, general.
372
00:37:26,399 --> 00:37:28,629
Beliefs are more dangerous
than a hundred armies.
373
00:37:28,869 --> 00:37:31,133
Our gods have the tail of fish...
374
00:37:31,304 --> 00:37:34,398
... because our ancestors
were seafaring people.
375
00:37:34,608 --> 00:37:38,476
What does it matter if a handful of our
people decide to believe in a single deity?
376
00:37:38,645 --> 00:37:41,113
- It's poor exchange.
- Perhaps so.
377
00:37:41,314 --> 00:37:45,614
But I sometimes feel that a single sun
in the sky is better than two or three...
378
00:37:45,786 --> 00:37:47,378
... that would burn us all alive.
379
00:37:47,554 --> 00:37:50,523
But if we control
the Israelites by a treaty...
380
00:37:50,690 --> 00:37:52,988
No, commander. This is treason.
381
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,129
You do not accommodate an enemy.
You eliminate him.
382
00:37:56,329 --> 00:37:57,796
At what sacrifice?
383
00:37:58,231 --> 00:38:00,665
A thousand of our young men?
Five thousand?
384
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:03,564
How many widows do you want to make
before you say enough?
385
00:38:03,737 --> 00:38:06,205
The Israelites lay claim
to our kingdom...
386
00:38:06,439 --> 00:38:08,907
... and we are contemplating
giving it to them?
387
00:38:09,075 --> 00:38:11,475
No. Only that we make peace...
388
00:38:12,412 --> 00:38:14,141
... the price for which is small.
389
00:38:14,347 --> 00:38:18,841
They believe their god
will send them a savior to destroy us.
390
00:38:19,152 --> 00:38:24,146
It is, above all else, this foolish belief
that holds them in our power.
391
00:38:24,624 --> 00:38:26,854
They wait patiently, passively.
392
00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:30,520
Perhaps we should be encouraging them
in this belief.
393
00:38:30,697 --> 00:38:34,724
We should make an example
of their new hero, this Samson.
394
00:38:35,268 --> 00:38:36,394
Before it's too late.
395
00:38:36,570 --> 00:38:38,663
Draw them too close,
and they will discover...
396
00:38:38,839 --> 00:38:41,399
... one of the secrets of our power,
how to make iron.
397
00:38:41,575 --> 00:38:43,338
That is true.
398
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:45,910
- Perhaps there are ways...
- You wish them to learn...
399
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:48,013
... how to make real weapons, general?
400
00:38:48,181 --> 00:38:51,912
Well, this year, next year.
Whatever. They will learn.
401
00:38:52,219 --> 00:38:54,847
Man climbs upon
the shoulders of man.
402
00:38:55,288 --> 00:38:58,189
But a treaty is not the answer.
It's too dangerous.
403
00:38:58,358 --> 00:39:01,020
Let us leave them as they are,
waiting for their savior...
404
00:39:01,194 --> 00:39:03,924
... and hope he does not come
till our reign...
405
00:39:04,130 --> 00:39:07,361
... and yours are no more
than great memories.
406
00:39:07,968 --> 00:39:11,426
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- You're my first general.
407
00:39:12,873 --> 00:39:15,740
And what is a first general
without an army?
408
00:39:16,576 --> 00:39:18,771
What is a scorpion
when it loses its sting?
409
00:39:23,817 --> 00:39:25,375
Your Highness.
410
00:39:31,524 --> 00:39:34,459
Will you mourn me
after my death, Sidqa?
411
00:39:35,128 --> 00:39:38,062
Of course, Father.
412
00:39:38,430 --> 00:39:40,057
Very good.
413
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:42,765
I want you to contact our agents.
414
00:39:43,035 --> 00:39:45,196
Arrange for the capture
of this Samson.
415
00:39:45,504 --> 00:39:47,802
You will command
the operation yourself.
416
00:39:48,173 --> 00:39:50,903
I want him brought back
to Gaza. Alive, if possible.
417
00:39:51,944 --> 00:39:55,175
- Alive?
- Yes, alive. Living, not dead.
418
00:39:55,414 --> 00:39:56,847
More difficult, but essential.
419
00:39:57,016 --> 00:40:00,417
- But it may be they already believe.
- Myths and legends wrap themselves...
420
00:40:00,586 --> 00:40:03,646
... around the dead
and make them martyred heroes.
421
00:40:03,822 --> 00:40:05,585
They are remembered.
422
00:40:06,091 --> 00:40:08,753
I want this Samson
brought back here to Gaza.
423
00:40:08,928 --> 00:40:11,658
A prisoner. In chains of iron.
424
00:40:12,298 --> 00:40:14,289
He'll be quickly forgotten.
425
00:40:27,313 --> 00:40:30,646
Here is your money.
Now show us where he lives.
426
00:40:58,210 --> 00:41:00,041
A stranger.
427
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,380
He said...
428
00:41:06,952 --> 00:41:08,385
He said...
429
00:41:29,441 --> 00:41:31,238
Come, brother.
430
00:41:32,511 --> 00:41:34,809
Our work is done here.
431
00:42:16,455 --> 00:42:17,820
Father!
432
00:42:23,629 --> 00:42:26,564
- Mara! Mara! Are you hurt?
- Please, God...
433
00:42:30,635 --> 00:42:33,570
Please, God, help him.
Samson!
434
00:42:33,738 --> 00:42:36,639
What are you doing?
Where are you taking him?
435
00:42:36,808 --> 00:42:39,003
- Let him go!
- Samson!
436
00:42:39,977 --> 00:42:41,501
Stay where you are.
437
00:42:41,779 --> 00:42:44,407
With Samson gone,
we shall lead the rebellion.
438
00:42:45,383 --> 00:42:48,546
People will look to us to inspire them.
439
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,882
They'll bring their hopes,
fears, doubts to us.
440
00:42:52,056 --> 00:42:55,150
We will become the true judges
of Israel.
441
00:42:55,726 --> 00:42:58,957
See there in the stars...
442
00:42:59,697 --> 00:43:02,564
... when Samson has been netted.
443
00:43:08,573 --> 00:43:10,473
Help him! Help him!
444
00:43:10,675 --> 00:43:12,540
Stop them!
445
00:43:13,978 --> 00:43:16,208
You've got no right to do this!
446
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:19,076
- What is happening?
- They've taken Samson.
447
00:43:19,250 --> 00:43:20,547
What?
448
00:43:24,055 --> 00:43:25,682
Where are they taking him?
449
00:43:30,161 --> 00:43:32,652
Do something. Help him!
450
00:43:32,864 --> 00:43:34,764
Do something!
451
00:43:35,032 --> 00:43:37,728
Yoram, come on. Come on!
452
00:43:44,809 --> 00:43:46,868
Samson! Let me through!
453
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:52,071
Go! Take him!
454
00:44:00,124 --> 00:44:02,991
- Samson!
- Go! Seize him! Go!
455
00:44:06,097 --> 00:44:07,223
Stay back.
456
00:44:13,337 --> 00:44:14,429
You, go on!
457
00:44:38,729 --> 00:44:39,855
Manoah.
458
00:44:44,535 --> 00:44:46,196
Go! Stop him!
459
00:44:50,875 --> 00:44:52,604
You, get him!
460
00:44:53,144 --> 00:44:54,543
Go on!
461
00:45:31,982 --> 00:45:36,476
Where were you? We outnumbered them
by more than 100.
462
00:45:38,722 --> 00:45:40,656
Lead you?
463
00:45:42,993 --> 00:45:45,587
Shall I kill him for you too?
464
00:45:50,433 --> 00:45:52,901
- Where are you going?
- Kill him yourself.
465
00:45:53,103 --> 00:45:55,970
- Samson!
- Samson!
466
00:46:00,477 --> 00:46:03,173
Cowards! Traitors!
467
00:46:09,653 --> 00:46:12,554
- We should have stayed to watch.
- No.
468
00:46:12,889 --> 00:46:16,052
Being at home asleep
proclaims our innocence.
469
00:46:16,393 --> 00:46:19,123
He'll be halfway to Gaza by now...
470
00:46:19,396 --> 00:46:21,990
... in chains of iron.
471
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,827
Lord!
472
00:46:27,304 --> 00:46:29,465
Lord!
473
00:46:35,912 --> 00:46:36,936
Yoram.
474
00:46:37,113 --> 00:46:40,241
- We'll find somewhere to hide you.
- Hide me?
475
00:46:40,517 --> 00:46:42,178
They might come again.
476
00:46:42,385 --> 00:46:44,512
- Let them.
- Come.
477
00:46:45,021 --> 00:46:48,923
You have a friend,
one who will never betray us.
478
00:46:56,199 --> 00:46:58,030
How many of them were there?
479
00:46:58,201 --> 00:47:00,567
We outnumbered them
by more than 100.
480
00:47:00,870 --> 00:47:04,499
- You fought them like 200.
- God is good.
481
00:47:04,774 --> 00:47:08,175
Not one of them tried to help.
Except you.
482
00:47:08,845 --> 00:47:12,372
The others begged rebellion of me
one day and abandoned me the next.
483
00:47:13,550 --> 00:47:16,747
- They were frightened.
- And you weren't.
484
00:47:16,953 --> 00:47:19,114
I'm not old enough to know better.
485
00:47:19,289 --> 00:47:21,154
Nor are my parents.
486
00:47:24,527 --> 00:47:27,121
Naomi cracked a few skulls.
487
00:47:28,064 --> 00:47:31,465
Love is a powerful conqueror of fear.
488
00:47:44,414 --> 00:47:46,974
Surely if he had been taken...
489
00:47:47,217 --> 00:47:50,584
... Father would have been told.
He would have awoken us by now.
490
00:47:52,088 --> 00:47:53,453
Father is asleep, and he's...
491
00:47:53,623 --> 00:47:55,284
Where would he go?
492
00:47:56,192 --> 00:47:58,285
They have to come back.
493
00:48:05,935 --> 00:48:10,372
All the laws we have to live by
are so difficult to keep.
494
00:48:12,075 --> 00:48:15,840
Part of our strength is giving support
to each other.
495
00:48:19,081 --> 00:48:21,242
And helping each other...
496
00:48:23,252 --> 00:48:26,744
... and guiding each other
will reveal this temptation.
497
00:48:29,324 --> 00:48:31,622
You were dedicated
a Nazarite at birth?
498
00:48:31,927 --> 00:48:36,557
- Yes. Like you, I belong to the Lord.
- We belong to the Lord.
499
00:48:36,799 --> 00:48:40,735
He is a strange master who tells
us nothing, asks nothing of us.
500
00:48:40,903 --> 00:48:42,837
His ways are unknowable.
501
00:48:43,105 --> 00:48:45,539
He moves beyond our understanding.
502
00:48:46,308 --> 00:48:47,900
Or not at all.
503
00:48:49,344 --> 00:48:52,507
He gave you strength enough
to break a lion's neck.
504
00:48:53,749 --> 00:48:56,274
You knew.
505
00:48:56,885 --> 00:48:58,409
You what?
506
00:48:58,587 --> 00:49:00,817
- Nothing.
- Nothing.
507
00:49:02,558 --> 00:49:04,617
There are many ways to be strong.
508
00:49:08,997 --> 00:49:10,828
Samson. What are you... ?
509
00:49:11,433 --> 00:49:13,867
- We heard voices.
- What's he doing here?
510
00:49:14,436 --> 00:49:18,133
The Philistines tried to capture him.
He beat them back.
511
00:49:18,307 --> 00:49:19,535
- He did?
- God be praised.
512
00:49:19,708 --> 00:49:21,198
Yes. God be praised.
513
00:49:22,077 --> 00:49:25,911
- With him here, we will all be in danger.
- What if they come back again?
514
00:49:26,114 --> 00:49:28,412
- Tonight?
- They won't look here.
515
00:49:28,617 --> 00:49:30,676
If they come back again,
search the village?
516
00:49:30,853 --> 00:49:33,014
- Then what?!
- We'll be taken to Gaza in chains!
517
00:49:33,222 --> 00:49:35,656
He can't stay here!
518
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,519
Jehiel, Amram, leave us.
519
00:49:43,265 --> 00:49:44,857
If you are in fear of your lives...
520
00:49:45,234 --> 00:49:47,327
... find another place to sleep.
- Father...
521
00:49:47,769 --> 00:49:51,569
- The Philistines...
- lf the Philistines come, they come.
522
00:49:52,508 --> 00:49:55,944
- Now, leave us!
- Come, brother.
523
00:50:00,382 --> 00:50:01,542
My son.
524
00:50:04,086 --> 00:50:07,078
Has your father ever told you
how proud he is of you?
525
00:50:07,789 --> 00:50:09,552
But my sons...
526
00:50:09,725 --> 00:50:13,217
"Samson caught us in a net.
Samson caught us in... "
527
00:50:13,395 --> 00:50:15,056
A net.
528
00:50:15,964 --> 00:50:18,432
How else did they know
where you slept?
529
00:50:18,967 --> 00:50:20,559
Jehiel.
530
00:50:22,271 --> 00:50:23,966
Amram.
531
00:50:24,339 --> 00:50:25,533
Oh, no.
532
00:50:31,547 --> 00:50:33,105
No.
533
00:50:33,849 --> 00:50:37,478
No. My own sons.
534
00:50:40,722 --> 00:50:42,815
Traitors. Fools!
535
00:50:42,991 --> 00:50:46,188
If a man sins against another,
God may intervene in his favor...
536
00:50:46,361 --> 00:50:51,094
... but if a man sins against the Lord
and his consecrated, who shall intercede?
537
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:53,564
Father, somebody's been lying to you.
538
00:50:54,503 --> 00:50:56,994
Jehiel. Amram.
539
00:50:59,975 --> 00:51:02,671
- They betrayed me.
- Samson, no!
540
00:51:02,844 --> 00:51:05,711
- We haven't sinned, Father.
- You have disgraced me.
541
00:51:05,881 --> 00:51:09,941
- We haven't...
- My own sons have torn out my heart.
542
00:51:12,954 --> 00:51:14,114
No, Samson!
543
00:51:14,288 --> 00:51:16,313
- No!
- Samson, no.
544
00:51:16,490 --> 00:51:18,549
You beg for once, only to die.
545
00:51:18,726 --> 00:51:20,489
No!
546
00:51:28,202 --> 00:51:30,534
Samson, don't kill them. I beg of you.
547
00:51:38,779 --> 00:51:41,179
Samson. Samson!
548
00:51:42,617 --> 00:51:46,417
We thought that we were attacked
by a superior Israelite force.
549
00:51:46,621 --> 00:51:49,488
You keep telling me
they have no superior force.
550
00:51:49,657 --> 00:51:51,557
Never underestimate the enemy.
551
00:51:53,260 --> 00:51:57,162
In the circumstances, I thought it
prudent to withdraw, to regroup.
552
00:51:57,331 --> 00:52:00,198
- Back here in Gaza?
- Well, ready for another day.
553
00:52:00,368 --> 00:52:02,836
But he was just one man.
554
00:52:03,237 --> 00:52:05,797
- One man.
- But with the strength of 50.
555
00:52:05,973 --> 00:52:07,998
- And others attacked us.
- With bare hands?
556
00:52:08,175 --> 00:52:10,405
It was dark. Who knew what weapons?
557
00:52:10,578 --> 00:52:12,808
Did they all have
the jawbone of an ass?
558
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,676
The gods give an ignorant
Israelite peasant Samson for a son...
559
00:52:17,852 --> 00:52:21,583
... and they give me the king of Gaza.
560
00:52:22,289 --> 00:52:23,813
You.
561
00:52:24,458 --> 00:52:27,222
I have but one duty,
that's to outlive my heir.
562
00:52:27,828 --> 00:52:31,286
Is there no justice in the stars?
Get out of my sight.
563
00:52:35,069 --> 00:52:37,469
- Father...
- Are you deaf as well as brainless?
564
00:52:37,905 --> 00:52:40,237
I said, get out of my sight. Go.
565
00:52:51,385 --> 00:52:53,444
I want an emissary to inquire...
566
00:52:53,621 --> 00:52:55,714
... and report to me
on exactly what happened.
567
00:52:55,890 --> 00:52:57,619
Yes, my lord.
568
00:53:09,203 --> 00:53:12,001
Well, General Tariq,
is there justice in the stars?
569
00:53:12,173 --> 00:53:14,004
Apparently not.
570
00:53:14,241 --> 00:53:18,837
The number of kings who outlive their heirs
does not give us grounds for confidence.
571
00:53:35,429 --> 00:53:38,091
Samson!
572
00:53:41,168 --> 00:53:43,693
- Samson.
- Go back to the village.
573
00:53:43,871 --> 00:53:46,305
- Where are you going?
- Away. I don't know.
574
00:53:46,507 --> 00:53:48,372
Samson, I am lost without you.
575
00:53:48,542 --> 00:53:51,067
Ever since I was born,
you've been there.
576
00:53:51,846 --> 00:53:53,438
Since I was born I've been told...
577
00:53:53,614 --> 00:53:56,777
... that God punished our people
because they failed to heed him.
578
00:53:57,885 --> 00:54:00,944
Perhaps if I can distance myself
from my people for a while...
579
00:54:01,721 --> 00:54:05,350
... I can hear his word and obey.
580
00:54:06,126 --> 00:54:07,525
Go.
581
00:54:07,694 --> 00:54:09,423
Back to the village.
582
00:54:10,296 --> 00:54:13,493
Now your manhood begins.
583
00:54:14,534 --> 00:54:16,434
As does mine.
584
00:57:24,623 --> 00:57:26,215
I wouldn't if I were you.
585
00:57:39,638 --> 00:57:42,402
Looking is one thing, but touching...
586
00:57:42,574 --> 00:57:44,474
... that's something else.
587
00:57:44,876 --> 00:57:47,902
The men could turn nasty,
and you could end up...
588
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,538
... with one less body part than God
gave you, if you know what I mean.
589
00:57:53,618 --> 00:57:55,711
You're an Israelite.
590
00:57:56,321 --> 00:57:57,720
Amrok.
591
00:57:58,890 --> 00:58:01,154
Lost in the desert as a child.
592
00:58:01,526 --> 00:58:03,824
Raised by the Philistines.
593
00:58:04,196 --> 00:58:07,723
A wanderer by upbringing,
and a curious man by nature.
594
00:58:07,899 --> 00:58:09,093
Homeward bound after...
595
00:58:09,568 --> 00:58:12,731
... three weary years of putting one foot
in front of the other.
596
00:58:12,904 --> 00:58:14,531
- And you?
- Samson.
597
00:58:18,810 --> 00:58:22,906
I expected a giant, a wrestler.
But you look like any other man.
598
00:58:23,081 --> 00:58:25,413
- You are the one they speak of?
- And betrayed.
599
00:58:26,485 --> 00:58:29,249
But you, an Israelite, have lived
amongst the Philistines.
600
00:58:29,488 --> 00:58:31,956
I was taken in by a family.
601
00:58:32,457 --> 00:58:34,982
- Good people.
- How could you live with them...
602
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,993
... when they crushed your own people
under their heel?
603
00:58:38,163 --> 00:58:41,030
Have you seen so little of life
that you don't know?
604
00:58:43,435 --> 00:58:46,063
When a people are controlled
by a strong king...
605
00:58:46,238 --> 00:58:48,934
... it is the king's will that prevails,
not the people's.
606
00:58:49,107 --> 00:58:51,940
It wasn't the king who destroyed
our villages in the old days.
607
00:58:52,110 --> 00:58:56,774
Yes, but those who did are fed by him,
advanced by him, rewarded by him.
608
00:58:57,249 --> 00:58:58,807
The court controls everything.
609
00:58:58,984 --> 00:59:01,350
If men devised a weapon
to destroy the courts...
610
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,750
... in one single blow,
all of Gaza is destroyed.
611
00:59:03,922 --> 00:59:05,617
They are cruel people.
612
00:59:05,891 --> 00:59:08,325
- Because they are afraid.
- Afraid?
613
00:59:08,660 --> 00:59:10,252
Of losing what they have.
614
00:59:11,496 --> 00:59:14,431
If you could drive them into the sea
and take their land...
615
00:59:14,599 --> 00:59:18,194
... you would, wouldn't you?
- Right now I would not raise my finger...
616
00:59:18,370 --> 00:59:21,134
... against them.
- Then we can be friends.
617
00:59:21,339 --> 00:59:22,601
Friend.
618
00:59:23,108 --> 00:59:25,235
The prince of the Philistines
seeks my head.
619
00:59:25,410 --> 00:59:28,004
Friendship with me
could be dangerous.
620
00:59:28,513 --> 00:59:30,913
The best friendships are always risky.
621
00:59:31,183 --> 00:59:34,175
The prince who seeks your head
must first find his own.
622
00:59:34,820 --> 00:59:38,119
Tomorrow night we'll feast
with my father in Timnah.
623
01:00:07,618 --> 01:00:09,245
Timnah.
624
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,520
- Are these your father's fields?
- As far as the eye can see.
625
01:00:15,059 --> 01:00:17,425
You chose your parents well.
626
01:00:48,492 --> 01:00:50,016
- Hello.
- Amrok.
627
01:00:50,194 --> 01:00:52,094
- Welcome back.
- Thank you.
628
01:00:52,296 --> 01:00:54,526
Master. Master!
629
01:00:54,698 --> 01:00:56,461
- How is your wife?
- Master.
630
01:00:56,634 --> 01:00:57,862
Your son.
631
01:00:58,035 --> 01:00:59,764
- Your son is back!
- Thank you.
632
01:00:59,937 --> 01:01:02,269
Master. Your son. He's come back.
633
01:01:17,855 --> 01:01:21,416
Let me speak for you. Then everything
will be all right, you'll see.
634
01:01:23,060 --> 01:01:24,493
My son.
635
01:01:24,995 --> 01:01:27,429
My son, my son.
636
01:01:32,503 --> 01:01:34,232
Father, this is Samson.
637
01:01:36,740 --> 01:01:40,335
- Samson?
- Yes. My Israelite friend.
638
01:01:40,778 --> 01:01:42,905
Samson, this is my father.
639
01:01:44,915 --> 01:01:47,315
If you are my son's friend...
640
01:01:47,985 --> 01:01:50,078
... then you are my honored guest.
641
01:01:52,122 --> 01:01:54,056
My house is your house.
642
01:01:57,394 --> 01:01:59,760
- Rani.
- Amrok.
643
01:02:02,166 --> 01:02:03,428
Dear brother.
644
01:02:03,601 --> 01:02:07,867
Samson, this is my sister, Rani.
Rani, this is Samson.
645
01:02:22,386 --> 01:02:24,183
This is for your wife.
646
01:02:28,225 --> 01:02:30,921
- Oh, this is beautiful.
- It's beautiful.
647
01:03:00,590 --> 01:03:02,148
It is beautiful.
648
01:03:02,892 --> 01:03:07,852
Only sung by women in the presence
of a man at certain times.
649
01:03:51,808 --> 01:03:53,400
Samson.
650
01:03:55,845 --> 01:03:57,369
Drink.
651
01:04:04,821 --> 01:04:06,379
Thank you.
652
01:04:07,123 --> 01:04:08,590
Wait, wait.
653
01:04:09,425 --> 01:04:12,394
I saw you once before
in the land of the Israelites.
654
01:04:13,830 --> 01:04:17,322
- It was only for a moment.
- You were working in a field.
655
01:04:18,968 --> 01:04:21,869
- I remember.
- You remember.
656
01:04:22,472 --> 01:04:24,269
As you do.
657
01:04:40,923 --> 01:04:43,448
Do you ever dream, Sidqa?
658
01:04:44,594 --> 01:04:45,856
Yes.
659
01:04:46,696 --> 01:04:48,254
I do.
660
01:04:48,731 --> 01:04:52,223
Since I was a child,
I have never dreamed.
661
01:04:52,468 --> 01:04:53,935
Never.
662
01:04:55,805 --> 01:04:58,296
The doctors tell me
you're getting stronger.
663
01:04:58,908 --> 01:05:00,569
That's true.
664
01:05:01,711 --> 01:05:05,078
You thought your time had come,
didn't you, Sidqa?
665
01:05:05,681 --> 01:05:07,876
A little longer.
666
01:05:08,418 --> 01:05:10,613
A little longer.
667
01:05:12,722 --> 01:05:15,384
Child, tell me what it is you want.
668
01:05:15,625 --> 01:05:18,685
If it is within my power,
I shall grant it.
669
01:05:20,696 --> 01:05:22,391
I want...
670
01:05:23,065 --> 01:05:24,555
I want...
671
01:05:25,134 --> 01:05:26,396
Yes?
672
01:05:27,003 --> 01:05:29,733
I want Samson as my husband.
673
01:05:31,808 --> 01:05:33,968
He is a good man.
674
01:05:34,810 --> 01:05:37,301
But is he not an enemy of our people?
675
01:05:37,479 --> 01:05:39,470
Not of mine.
676
01:05:41,082 --> 01:05:44,279
- You love him?
- With all my heart.
677
01:05:45,854 --> 01:05:48,379
Has he spoken words of love to you?
678
01:05:49,191 --> 01:05:53,218
A woman sees the heart of a man
through the doorway of his eyes.
679
01:05:54,763 --> 01:05:56,526
And you see... ?
680
01:05:57,732 --> 01:06:01,759
A man who loves me as I love him.
681
01:06:05,841 --> 01:06:09,709
- That's what she said?
- Her exact words.
682
01:06:11,446 --> 01:06:15,746
But could she truly love me,
an Israelite...
683
01:06:15,917 --> 01:06:19,944
... as a wife must love her husband?
Is such a thing possible?
684
01:06:20,889 --> 01:06:24,052
My mother and father would say,
"Never. "
685
01:06:24,226 --> 01:06:26,820
My teacher would say, "Think again. "
686
01:06:27,496 --> 01:06:29,760
And have you thought again?
687
01:06:30,765 --> 01:06:32,733
It is all I think of.
688
01:06:33,602 --> 01:06:36,628
And each time the thought
fills me with happiness.
689
01:06:38,206 --> 01:06:40,140
Then the question is...
690
01:06:40,375 --> 01:06:44,971
... could you truly love her, a Philistine,
like a husband must love his wife?
691
01:06:47,749 --> 01:06:51,617
As surely as the sun dies
beyond the hills each night.
692
01:06:52,654 --> 01:06:54,747
Come and speak to her.
Tell her how you feel.
693
01:06:54,923 --> 01:06:56,823
- She knows. She sees it.
- Yes, she knows.
694
01:06:56,992 --> 01:07:00,359
But women like you to tell them.
Especially if it's the truth.
695
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,847
And what about these stories
that he has slain our soldiers...
696
01:07:29,024 --> 01:07:32,187
... that the Israelites beg him
to lead their army against us?
697
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,691
He's here.
698
01:07:34,095 --> 01:07:37,587
He refused them, and they betrayed him.
He's a man of peace.
699
01:07:37,899 --> 01:07:39,423
As am I.
700
01:07:40,335 --> 01:07:42,394
You know him now.
701
01:07:42,571 --> 01:07:44,732
You know he's an honorable man.
702
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,806
Will you, that are kind and just...
703
01:07:47,976 --> 01:07:50,911
... let rumor or gossip stand in his way?
704
01:07:51,079 --> 01:07:54,048
It is said he humiliated
Prince Sidqa himself.
705
01:07:54,215 --> 01:07:56,240
From what we are told,
this is not difficult.
706
01:07:56,418 --> 01:07:57,646
True.
707
01:07:57,819 --> 01:08:00,754
But if they found
he was hiding in my home...
708
01:08:00,922 --> 01:08:03,254
... if they came for him...
709
01:08:03,425 --> 01:08:05,620
I'm not thinking of myself.
710
01:08:05,794 --> 01:08:07,762
But the danger to you...
711
01:08:07,929 --> 01:08:09,157
... to Rani...
712
01:08:11,099 --> 01:08:13,533
They would surely kill us all.
713
01:08:17,038 --> 01:08:18,562
Father, I am an Israelite.
714
01:08:18,773 --> 01:08:20,172
- You are my...
- Hear me out.
715
01:08:20,342 --> 01:08:22,242
- You are my son.
- Hear me out.
716
01:08:22,410 --> 01:08:24,310
I'm an Israelite.
717
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:26,412
But I honor you as my father.
718
01:08:27,014 --> 01:08:29,448
Perhaps Rani's love for him...
719
01:08:29,617 --> 01:08:32,245
... is the very way towards peace
between our two peoples.
720
01:08:33,087 --> 01:08:35,351
And the king himself is wise.
721
01:08:35,522 --> 01:08:37,183
Is he not?
722
01:08:38,726 --> 01:08:40,159
Well...
723
01:08:41,095 --> 01:08:43,893
... if I were to send a message to Gaza...
724
01:08:44,698 --> 01:08:47,326
... if the king gave it his blessing...
725
01:08:49,470 --> 01:08:51,597
Then all would be well.
726
01:09:13,127 --> 01:09:16,494
This farmer from Timnah is a traitor.
727
01:09:17,765 --> 01:09:20,928
- You must deny his request.
- Sidqa...
728
01:09:21,602 --> 01:09:25,060
... when I'm gone and the throne is yours,
let me give you a word of advice:
729
01:09:25,239 --> 01:09:29,141
Always, always ignore
those of your counselors...
730
01:09:29,376 --> 01:09:32,106
... who say "you must. "
731
01:09:32,913 --> 01:09:34,278
But, Father...
732
01:09:34,448 --> 01:09:37,542
... now we know where Samson is.
- Yes, my son.
733
01:09:38,118 --> 01:09:39,847
Now we know.
734
01:09:47,561 --> 01:09:49,256
A Timnite woman.
735
01:09:50,531 --> 01:09:53,659
They're supposed to be very beautiful,
are they not?
736
01:09:53,834 --> 01:09:57,531
If she were that beautiful,
she'd be here, in the palace.
737
01:09:57,805 --> 01:09:59,466
If you say so.
738
01:10:00,474 --> 01:10:02,772
Do not humor me, commander.
739
01:10:02,943 --> 01:10:05,241
I'd hate to think
you believe me jealous.
740
01:10:05,546 --> 01:10:07,275
And are you jealous?
741
01:10:07,648 --> 01:10:09,843
- What's the man to me?
- I don't know.
742
01:10:11,418 --> 01:10:13,352
He saved your life.
743
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,181
I owe him thanks.
744
01:10:16,023 --> 01:10:17,991
No more than that.
745
01:10:18,292 --> 01:10:21,352
So he is unimportant.
746
01:10:21,528 --> 01:10:23,086
Nothing.
747
01:10:24,364 --> 01:10:26,730
Then why are you telling me
about him?
748
01:10:29,136 --> 01:10:32,435
Because I tell you
what I hear in the court.
749
01:10:32,606 --> 01:10:34,073
And I you.
750
01:10:34,374 --> 01:10:39,243
And the arrangement makes us
both formidably well informed.
751
01:10:47,054 --> 01:10:52,686
So the poor Israelite is to be denied
even one night of marital pleasure.
752
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,885
You feel sorry for an enemy
of our people?
753
01:10:56,063 --> 01:11:00,193
Enemy? Where are his armies?
Whose downfall does he seek?
754
01:11:01,235 --> 01:11:03,226
You're remarkable, Delilah.
755
01:11:03,403 --> 01:11:05,667
I had assumed that you
would share the anger...
756
01:11:05,839 --> 01:11:07,568
... of our prince with this Israelite.
757
01:11:07,741 --> 01:11:10,266
The prince and I
have very different tastes.
758
01:11:12,045 --> 01:11:14,377
The prince will never be known
for his taste...
759
01:11:14,681 --> 01:11:16,740
... but for the size of his feet.
760
01:11:19,952 --> 01:11:22,682
He'll never fit his father's shoes.
761
01:11:27,860 --> 01:11:29,885
You know, General Tariq...
762
01:11:30,062 --> 01:11:32,223
... I've known you all my life.
763
01:11:33,132 --> 01:11:36,624
But at this moment,
I know you not at all.
764
01:11:37,937 --> 01:11:39,427
I'm a man...
765
01:11:40,506 --> 01:11:43,339
... in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
766
01:11:45,478 --> 01:11:47,844
For whatever it's worth...
767
01:11:48,114 --> 01:11:51,379
... I too have known myself
all my life...
768
01:11:52,752 --> 01:11:55,118
... and yet not at all.
769
01:11:59,759 --> 01:12:01,522
Cut it out.
770
01:12:12,538 --> 01:12:14,028
My son.
771
01:12:15,208 --> 01:12:17,642
Mother? Yoram.
772
01:12:21,380 --> 01:12:24,178
Sit. Drink. You've traveled far.
773
01:12:24,350 --> 01:12:25,942
So is it true?
774
01:12:27,687 --> 01:12:32,283
Is what true, Mother? That I live and work
here among people who ask nothing of me?
775
01:12:32,458 --> 01:12:35,052
- Yes, that is true.
- You know of what I speak.
776
01:12:35,228 --> 01:12:37,492
The story is abroad.
Everyone speaks of it.
777
01:12:37,663 --> 01:12:40,029
That you are to marry a Philistine.
Is that true?
778
01:12:40,199 --> 01:12:42,565
Her name is Rani. Yes, it is true.
779
01:12:43,236 --> 01:12:47,434
The ceremony is tomorrow.
And you are welcome.
780
01:12:47,807 --> 01:12:49,434
I'm glad you're here.
781
01:12:50,209 --> 01:12:52,200
Among all the women
you might have chosen...
782
01:12:52,378 --> 01:12:55,176
... was it God's will that you bring
a stranger to your bed?
783
01:12:55,348 --> 01:12:57,077
She is a good woman.
784
01:12:57,283 --> 01:13:00,252
Her father is honorable, just and kind.
785
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,284
- And I love her, Mother.
- And is this love...
786
01:13:04,457 --> 01:13:07,017
... greater than the bonds
that tie you to our people?
787
01:13:07,627 --> 01:13:09,561
Greater than our traditions?
788
01:13:10,129 --> 01:13:13,530
Do not turn your back on us
by marrying a foreign woman.
789
01:13:14,634 --> 01:13:18,468
Come back with us, Samson.
Before it's too late.
790
01:13:18,804 --> 01:13:20,465
My home is here now.
791
01:13:20,740 --> 01:13:24,232
You have punished us enough.
792
01:13:24,410 --> 01:13:27,106
- I beg you.
- I have heard you, you have heard me.
793
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:28,975
That is an end to it.
794
01:13:30,049 --> 01:13:31,744
Beware this woman, Samson.
795
01:13:31,918 --> 01:13:33,886
Be it on your wedding day...
796
01:13:34,053 --> 01:13:36,647
... or within the first circle
of the moon...
797
01:13:36,822 --> 01:13:39,086
... she will betray you.
798
01:13:42,361 --> 01:13:44,625
- My father.
- You have no father.
799
01:13:44,797 --> 01:13:47,129
- And he has no son.
- Mother.
800
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,090
Yoram.
801
01:13:49,802 --> 01:13:51,429
Mother!
802
01:14:05,017 --> 01:14:07,508
See? I bleed.
803
01:14:08,754 --> 01:14:10,449
Like any other man.
804
01:14:23,101 --> 01:14:25,661
Samson stayed in the landof the Philistines...
805
01:14:25,837 --> 01:14:28,135
... where he had founda woman he loved.
806
01:14:28,306 --> 01:14:31,639
And it seemed the king had givenhis approval for the marriage.
807
01:14:31,843 --> 01:14:36,177
But those he sent to celebratehad come for another purpose.
808
01:14:36,381 --> 01:14:39,817
And thus did Samson 's lovefor the Philistine woman...
809
01:14:39,985 --> 01:14:42,977
... begin to fulfill the word of God.
810
01:15:22,260 --> 01:15:24,125
Philistines.
811
01:15:25,497 --> 01:15:27,863
Philistines.
812
01:15:29,367 --> 01:15:31,198
I give you a riddle.
813
01:15:31,703 --> 01:15:34,001
What's the prize?
There has to be a prize.
814
01:15:34,172 --> 01:15:35,901
Yes, there must be a prize.
815
01:15:36,408 --> 01:15:38,501
Very well. If you solve the riddle...
816
01:15:39,044 --> 01:15:42,138
... 30 linen garments.
- And a flock of sheep.
817
01:15:42,313 --> 01:15:45,805
And two shepherds.
And 100 silver pieces.
818
01:15:47,819 --> 01:15:49,650
Out of the eater...
819
01:15:49,821 --> 01:15:51,550
... something to eat.
820
01:15:52,824 --> 01:15:55,019
Out of the strong...
821
01:15:55,393 --> 01:15:57,293
... something sweet.
822
01:15:58,663 --> 01:15:59,687
Impossible.
823
01:16:00,131 --> 01:16:02,190
Out of the strong?
This is Samson himself.
824
01:16:03,134 --> 01:16:04,533
No.
825
01:16:13,845 --> 01:16:17,008
- Tell me the riddle, Samson.
- Why, so you may win the prize?
826
01:16:17,182 --> 01:16:19,082
No. To share in your enjoyment...
827
01:16:19,250 --> 01:16:21,684
... as I hope to do
throughout our life together.
828
01:16:21,853 --> 01:16:25,345
- I don't think that that's...
- Tell her. She's your wife.
829
01:16:26,191 --> 01:16:27,453
No secrets.
830
01:16:27,625 --> 01:16:31,061
- A man must trust his wife.
- You won't trust me?
831
01:16:36,434 --> 01:16:39,028
Excellent. You'll never get it.
832
01:16:39,504 --> 01:16:44,498
My husband not only trusts me,
he gives you a true riddle to solve.
833
01:17:11,602 --> 01:17:14,002
You keep your guests very happ y.
834
01:17:14,171 --> 01:17:16,639
I'm glad you're enjoying our wedding.
835
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,206
The king is well pleased, Harach.
836
01:17:19,376 --> 01:17:21,003
Good. Good.
837
01:17:21,178 --> 01:17:23,612
He honors us with your company.
838
01:17:23,780 --> 01:17:27,648
And will bestow more honor
with the answer to this riddle.
839
01:17:27,818 --> 01:17:29,251
The riddle?
840
01:17:33,857 --> 01:17:35,882
I need a pretext.
841
01:17:36,393 --> 01:17:37,860
A reason.
842
01:17:38,028 --> 01:17:40,087
A reason? For what?
843
01:17:44,668 --> 01:17:49,230
A reason not to seize your land,
cut off your thieving fingers.
844
01:17:49,506 --> 01:17:50,996
Sir, you are my guest.
845
01:17:51,175 --> 01:17:53,803
- This is outrageous.
- The answer. I will have it.
846
01:17:54,878 --> 01:17:56,402
Go.
847
01:17:56,580 --> 01:17:58,138
Fetch it from your daughter.
848
01:17:58,315 --> 01:18:01,011
Before I order your house
burned to the ground.
849
01:18:20,137 --> 01:18:21,536
Rani.
850
01:18:21,772 --> 01:18:22,796
Rani.
851
01:18:23,707 --> 01:18:26,938
- Come here, Rani. Come.
- My father calls.
852
01:18:27,110 --> 01:18:30,079
Then go to him. But return to me.
853
01:18:30,380 --> 01:18:32,041
All right.
854
01:19:37,347 --> 01:19:40,180
Come, Samson. We submit.
855
01:19:41,652 --> 01:19:43,745
Tell us the answer to your riddle.
856
01:19:44,121 --> 01:19:47,056
A Philistine submit to an Israelite?
857
01:19:47,424 --> 01:19:50,052
- Shame.
- A father submits to his son.
858
01:19:50,227 --> 01:19:53,788
You will never get to bed with my sister
until this riddle is solved.
859
01:19:55,365 --> 01:19:56,889
Now there's a good reason.
860
01:20:00,603 --> 01:20:01,900
All right.
861
01:20:02,705 --> 01:20:04,263
All right.
862
01:20:04,440 --> 01:20:05,998
All right.
863
01:20:06,175 --> 01:20:08,439
- I see I have you all.
- All?
864
01:20:08,778 --> 01:20:10,439
No.
865
01:20:13,082 --> 01:20:17,018
- The answer is plain.
- Tell us.
866
01:20:17,953 --> 01:20:21,047
What is sweeter than honey?
867
01:20:22,091 --> 01:20:25,549
And what is stronger than a lion?
868
01:20:31,901 --> 01:20:33,493
It is surely a honeycomb.
869
01:20:34,704 --> 01:20:37,332
A beehive inside...
870
01:20:37,506 --> 01:20:39,474
... the entrails of a desert lion.
871
01:20:46,916 --> 01:20:48,850
Right? The lion and the honey.
872
01:20:49,085 --> 01:20:51,144
That's right, you have it.
873
01:20:55,124 --> 01:20:56,182
That's no riddle.
874
01:20:56,892 --> 01:20:59,486
How could anyone guess
an answer like that?
875
01:21:04,066 --> 01:21:05,294
How indeed?
876
01:21:14,009 --> 01:21:15,374
Wife.
877
01:21:25,454 --> 01:21:28,287
Why, Rani? Why?
878
01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:32,491
- No.
- Why, Rani? Why?
879
01:21:32,661 --> 01:21:34,253
Why?
880
01:21:38,868 --> 01:21:40,130
Samson!
881
01:21:40,369 --> 01:21:41,700
It was me.
882
01:21:41,871 --> 01:21:44,271
They threatened to burn down
the house unless l...
883
01:21:44,440 --> 01:21:45,930
She knew nothing.
884
01:21:46,108 --> 01:21:47,803
- Rani.
- Stop it.
885
01:21:50,846 --> 01:21:53,815
No! Stop! Please!
886
01:22:02,258 --> 01:22:03,657
No!
887
01:22:05,361 --> 01:22:06,885
Take him!
888
01:22:13,536 --> 01:22:14,764
Stop.
889
01:22:14,937 --> 01:22:16,404
- Come, Rani.
- Let me go.
890
01:22:16,806 --> 01:22:18,706
Seize him!
891
01:22:26,048 --> 01:22:27,606
Go!
892
01:22:43,399 --> 01:22:44,991
Come on.
893
01:23:19,501 --> 01:23:21,128
Samson.
894
01:23:26,241 --> 01:23:27,708
Samson!
895
01:25:03,404 --> 01:25:05,804
No. No, please.
896
01:25:06,341 --> 01:25:07,706
See?
897
01:25:08,876 --> 01:25:10,343
- See?
- Yes.
898
01:25:10,545 --> 01:25:14,003
You threatened the life of my father,
of my friend, of my wife.
899
01:25:22,857 --> 01:25:25,655
The garments are yours.
You won them. Pick them up.
900
01:25:27,362 --> 01:25:28,761
I said, pick them up.
901
01:25:34,302 --> 01:25:35,599
Now go.
902
01:25:36,037 --> 01:25:38,062
Go back to Gaza.
903
01:25:38,673 --> 01:25:41,233
Tell them Samson did this.
904
01:25:42,644 --> 01:25:46,807
And tell them I have only begun.
905
01:25:48,382 --> 01:25:51,215
I have only begun!
906
01:26:05,465 --> 01:26:08,457
- All of them?
- Yes, Majesty.
907
01:26:08,902 --> 01:26:11,871
His strength is not human.
908
01:26:12,039 --> 01:26:15,202
- Not human?
- The fields. The fields are on fire.
909
01:27:14,735 --> 01:27:16,600
No. No!
910
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,004
No! Rani!
911
01:27:28,181 --> 01:27:29,648
No! No!
912
01:27:30,917 --> 01:27:32,908
No! No!
913
01:27:40,727 --> 01:27:42,524
Execute them.
914
01:27:42,696 --> 01:27:44,527
Burn their fields.
915
01:27:45,332 --> 01:27:46,799
No!
916
01:27:49,102 --> 01:27:52,731
Here. Make it here.
It belongs to your enemy.
917
01:27:53,206 --> 01:27:56,300
My love, who I betrayed.
918
01:27:56,543 --> 01:27:58,033
Rani!
919
01:27:59,379 --> 01:28:01,540
Rani. Rani.
920
01:28:01,715 --> 01:28:03,376
Oh, no.
921
01:29:49,783 --> 01:29:53,446
General Tariq should be ordered
to burn down every Israelite village.
922
01:29:53,653 --> 01:29:57,680
Every village that makes payment
to our treasury? This isn't war.
923
01:29:58,224 --> 01:30:00,556
Samson doesn't lead an army.
924
01:30:00,727 --> 01:30:02,854
Not even his own people.
925
01:30:03,196 --> 01:30:05,994
- He fights us alone.
- He must be stopped.
926
01:30:06,166 --> 01:30:08,293
The dignity of your throne
is at stake here.
927
01:30:08,468 --> 01:30:11,266
Do not mistake my throne
for your pride.
928
01:30:12,172 --> 01:30:13,571
Consider this:
929
01:30:13,740 --> 01:30:17,642
A farmer's field, Israelite or Philistine,
is more than just a crop.
930
01:30:18,077 --> 01:30:20,671
It's a life's work, a child's future.
931
01:30:21,581 --> 01:30:24,709
We will send an emissary
to these men of Judah.
932
01:30:25,084 --> 01:30:30,078
Giving us Samson is a small price to pay
for leaving their fields untouched.
933
01:30:30,256 --> 01:30:33,885
But he's one of them.
Why should they betray him?
934
01:30:34,060 --> 01:30:36,221
It is a foolish man
who cannot be made afraid.
935
01:30:36,796 --> 01:30:39,959
And these men we treat with
are not foolish.
936
01:31:12,298 --> 01:31:13,560
Samson.
937
01:31:17,237 --> 01:31:18,534
Amrok?
938
01:31:21,708 --> 01:31:23,573
They are dead.
939
01:31:24,344 --> 01:31:26,335
They're all dead.
940
01:31:33,018 --> 01:31:35,213
They came from Gaza.
941
01:31:37,322 --> 01:31:39,790
We were surrounded. Trapped.
942
01:31:40,626 --> 01:31:42,890
There was no time to run.
943
01:31:44,696 --> 01:31:46,960
The laborers were killed.
944
01:31:47,933 --> 01:31:50,868
They took your wife, beat her.
Father too.
945
01:31:52,104 --> 01:31:54,163
They left me for dead.
946
01:31:56,542 --> 01:32:00,034
There was nothing I could do, Samson.
Nothing.
947
01:32:00,979 --> 01:32:04,437
I can still hear him laughing, their leader.
I mean, laughing and laughing.
948
01:32:04,650 --> 01:32:06,345
Amrok, who?
Who was their leader?
949
01:32:09,922 --> 01:32:11,321
The laugh. The scar.
950
01:32:15,027 --> 01:32:17,325
His name is Mahal.
951
01:32:19,498 --> 01:32:22,228
Was it my fault, Samson? Was it?
952
01:32:23,168 --> 01:32:25,068
- No.
- I brought you in.
953
01:32:25,237 --> 01:32:26,795
I begged for the marriage.
954
01:32:27,005 --> 01:32:29,565
I loved her, Amrok.
The fault was not yours.
955
01:32:30,842 --> 01:32:33,504
The innocent are punished
for my sins.
956
01:32:44,623 --> 01:32:46,284
Come with me. I am going home.
957
01:32:46,458 --> 01:32:48,392
- No.
- Amrok.
958
01:32:49,161 --> 01:32:50,719
Go, my brother.
959
01:32:51,964 --> 01:32:53,397
Go.
960
01:33:23,528 --> 01:33:27,328
And so Samson returnedto the land of the Israelites.
961
01:33:27,499 --> 01:33:30,059
To a people confusedand angry with him...
962
01:33:30,235 --> 01:33:33,033
... for having stirred the wrathof the Philistines.
963
01:33:33,271 --> 01:33:35,865
To a people no longerseeking rebellion...
964
01:33:36,041 --> 01:33:38,635
... but willing subjectsof the Philistines...
965
01:33:38,844 --> 01:33:41,039
... and of their own fears.
966
01:33:56,428 --> 01:33:57,952
Let me pass.
967
01:34:10,242 --> 01:34:13,541
What is it? Have I done you harm?
Why are you doing this?
968
01:34:13,712 --> 01:34:16,875
We will not lose our lives,
our homes, our crops...
969
01:34:17,082 --> 01:34:19,016
... at the altar of your anger.
970
01:34:19,184 --> 01:34:20,947
Then take me. Have done with it.
971
01:34:21,752 --> 01:34:26,155
You, you or you, come, take me.
Take hold of me. Bind me.
972
01:34:27,291 --> 01:34:29,782
I have not changed.
You have changed.
973
01:34:30,327 --> 01:34:33,763
Yes, I want vengeance for the betrayals
that were done to me...
974
01:34:33,931 --> 01:34:35,398
... and I will have it.
975
01:34:35,566 --> 01:34:39,468
But you would betray me for fear
of what might happen to you.
976
01:34:42,339 --> 01:34:45,240
Once you asked me to lead you
into what I believed would be...
977
01:34:45,409 --> 01:34:48,139
... madness and slaughter.
Well, now I believe it more.
978
01:34:50,314 --> 01:34:52,009
But I will go.
979
01:34:52,483 --> 01:34:54,178
You'll hear no more of me.
980
01:34:56,053 --> 01:34:58,544
Out of my anger and my hate...
981
01:34:58,723 --> 01:35:01,248
... I'll try and find a peace with God.
982
01:35:07,798 --> 01:35:10,699
Thus did Samson return to his home...
983
01:35:10,868 --> 01:35:14,804
... hiding in his heart the revengewhich one day he would wreak.
984
01:35:14,972 --> 01:35:17,133
And the hand of Godbrought him back...
985
01:35:17,308 --> 01:35:21,768
... just as the life of his father, Manoah, was drawing to a close.
986
01:35:23,347 --> 01:35:24,939
My son.
987
01:35:25,583 --> 01:35:27,380
I'm here, Father.
988
01:35:27,551 --> 01:35:29,644
I have loved you...
989
01:35:30,454 --> 01:35:32,217
... since before.
990
01:35:32,389 --> 01:35:36,291
- I know, Father. I know.
- Since before and always.
991
01:35:37,161 --> 01:35:38,992
It does not end.
992
01:35:40,097 --> 01:35:43,089
Give to your people...
993
01:35:43,701 --> 01:35:45,225
... to God.
994
01:35:46,003 --> 01:35:47,436
Reach out.
995
01:35:48,706 --> 01:35:50,731
You have the gifts.
996
01:35:52,777 --> 01:35:53,971
Share them.
997
01:35:54,678 --> 01:35:56,373
It is your destiny.
998
01:35:58,682 --> 01:36:00,547
It does not end.
999
01:36:00,718 --> 01:36:03,084
Remember. It...
1000
01:36:14,532 --> 01:36:16,329
He is dead.
1001
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:21,787
Even at the death of his father, Samson did not weep.
1002
01:37:21,965 --> 01:37:27,369
Though in time, his tears would beshed for all the people of Israel.
1003
01:37:33,343 --> 01:37:36,972
In the days that followed, Samson set aside his revenge...
1004
01:37:37,146 --> 01:37:39,740
... and worked only for the goodof the Israelites.
1005
01:37:40,550 --> 01:37:44,509
And he became a judge of his people. Wise, good, helpful.
1006
01:37:44,687 --> 01:37:48,350
In every way the son his fatherhad wished and prayed for.
1007
01:37:48,524 --> 01:37:50,492
You'll stay with us?
1008
01:37:54,063 --> 01:37:56,691
My father, as he died, said...
1009
01:37:57,567 --> 01:37:59,797
... if I stay with my people...
1010
01:37:59,969 --> 01:38:02,733
... the Philistines will not attack us.
1011
01:38:03,139 --> 01:38:05,573
They threaten to burn the crops.
1012
01:38:05,742 --> 01:38:08,643
And cut off their own supplies?
No, empty threats.
1013
01:38:10,079 --> 01:38:13,242
Would they rally our people
against them, provoke war?
1014
01:38:13,416 --> 01:38:14,883
No.
1015
01:38:17,654 --> 01:38:19,315
I am here now.
1016
01:38:21,257 --> 01:38:24,021
Until the wheel turns again...
1017
01:38:24,193 --> 01:38:25,990
... I have come home.
1018
01:38:28,398 --> 01:38:30,059
What is strength?
1019
01:38:38,775 --> 01:38:41,642
A stone, which nature formed,
is now just dust.
1020
01:38:42,612 --> 01:38:44,045
Yet what has changed?
1021
01:38:45,048 --> 01:38:48,415
The greater strength is to do
as God asks of you.
1022
01:38:49,152 --> 01:38:51,484
Faith, that is real strength.
1023
01:38:52,255 --> 01:38:57,158
To bend your will to God's,
that takes courage, that takes strength.
1024
01:39:00,730 --> 01:39:03,722
My son has many friends and admirers.
1025
01:39:03,900 --> 01:39:06,733
I wish I could count myself
among them.
1026
01:39:07,704 --> 01:39:09,899
When you forbade him
to capture Samson...
1027
01:39:10,106 --> 01:39:12,939
... you took from him the prize
with which he hoped to win you.
1028
01:39:13,109 --> 01:39:17,068
Samson has not gone. He's stepped back,
the better to leap forward.
1029
01:39:17,313 --> 01:39:20,476
They say he teaches.
They say he's plowing the fields.
1030
01:39:20,650 --> 01:39:22,709
And I say he's not gone away.
1031
01:39:23,686 --> 01:39:26,849
My son prepares. He's right.
1032
01:39:27,290 --> 01:39:29,622
Perhaps I should admire him for that.
1033
01:39:32,395 --> 01:39:35,990
All God asks of us
is that we do his will.
1034
01:39:37,900 --> 01:39:41,233
For more than half my life,
I did not hear him.
1035
01:39:41,404 --> 01:39:44,840
Until I began to realize
that his voice...
1036
01:39:45,041 --> 01:39:48,238
... speaks to the heart of man
as well as the mind.
1037
01:39:48,878 --> 01:39:50,709
His generosity and love...
1038
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:53,348
... may sometimes seem difficult
to understand...
1039
01:39:53,516 --> 01:39:55,575
... but it is always present.
1040
01:40:42,197 --> 01:40:44,859
Samson led his people as a judge...
1041
01:40:45,167 --> 01:40:46,464
... yet in his heart...
1042
01:40:46,635 --> 01:40:50,935
... the dark desires of man still soughtto hold sway over him.
1043
01:40:51,106 --> 01:40:52,869
The desires of the flesh...
1044
01:40:53,041 --> 01:40:56,306
... and the flame of revengehad not been quenched.
1045
01:40:56,478 --> 01:40:58,275
During all the time of peace...
1046
01:40:58,447 --> 01:41:01,905
... when he stayed with his people, two flames burned low in him...
1047
01:41:02,084 --> 01:41:04,018
... but were never extinguished:
1048
01:41:04,286 --> 01:41:08,154
The flame of lustand the fire of revenge.
1049
01:41:48,029 --> 01:41:50,623
Please think again.
There must be something I can do...
1050
01:41:50,799 --> 01:41:53,359
... to help you change your mind.
- No, I'm certain, Ira.
1051
01:41:53,568 --> 01:41:55,365
My mind is made up.
1052
01:41:56,571 --> 01:41:59,472
When a man is thirsty,
so must he drink.
1053
01:42:00,375 --> 01:42:02,809
My need is as strong as thirst.
1054
01:42:03,311 --> 01:42:07,577
But God has bound you to himself.
You cannot leave him now.
1055
01:42:07,749 --> 01:42:11,845
I do not leave him. I ask him only
to come with me for a while.
1056
01:42:12,187 --> 01:42:14,155
- No.
- Yes.
1057
01:42:14,422 --> 01:42:16,253
I've decided.
1058
01:42:16,858 --> 01:42:20,726
- God decides.
- I decide.
1059
01:42:22,164 --> 01:42:24,655
Then you have abandoned him already.
1060
01:42:51,259 --> 01:42:53,090
Please...
1061
01:42:53,261 --> 01:42:55,422
... stay.
- I cannot.
1062
01:42:55,630 --> 01:42:57,598
I fear for you.
1063
01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:02,795
You, my only child, whom
I've prayed for every hour of my life.
1064
01:43:04,038 --> 01:43:05,562
Mother...
1065
01:43:06,440 --> 01:43:11,104
... I am leaving, but will always
be with you in my heart.
1066
01:43:15,316 --> 01:43:17,910
Then may the Lord protect you.
1067
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:21,181
Goodbye, my son.
1068
01:43:22,223 --> 01:43:24,521
Go. Quickly.
1069
01:43:34,201 --> 01:43:35,634
Samson.
1070
01:43:36,237 --> 01:43:38,262
Samson, where are you going?
1071
01:43:38,505 --> 01:43:40,132
Where are you going?
1072
01:43:40,307 --> 01:43:43,003
- To Gaza.
- Gaza? But you can't.
1073
01:43:43,177 --> 01:43:46,305
- I must. I have an appointment there.
- No, Samson.
1074
01:43:46,480 --> 01:43:50,974
She's gone. It's over. Put revenge
behind you. It is finished.
1075
01:43:51,151 --> 01:43:54,746
- It is never finished.
- They will kill you.
1076
01:43:56,957 --> 01:43:59,289
If that is my destiny...
1077
01:43:59,460 --> 01:44:01,257
... then so be it.
1078
01:44:08,969 --> 01:44:10,732
Come back.
1079
01:44:12,573 --> 01:44:14,541
Come back to us.
1080
01:49:53,478 --> 01:49:54,911
Out of my way.
1081
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:11,955
You should have heard them
screaming.
1082
01:50:13,098 --> 01:50:15,066
Scream, Philistine.
1083
01:50:20,071 --> 01:50:21,834
For all eternity.
1084
01:50:59,244 --> 01:51:03,442
I am the instrument of the Lord!
1085
01:51:21,666 --> 01:51:23,156
General Tariq.
1086
01:51:23,368 --> 01:51:25,336
General Tariq. General Tariq.
1087
01:51:25,503 --> 01:51:26,800
- On your feet, boy.
- Samson.
1088
01:51:27,005 --> 01:51:28,973
- Samson, he's...
- Now take a deep breath.
1089
01:51:29,140 --> 01:51:31,301
- You tell me like a soldier.
- Samson.
1090
01:51:31,476 --> 01:51:35,037
He's been here.
He's murdered a soldier, Mahal.
1091
01:51:35,213 --> 01:51:37,010
The officer with the scar.
1092
01:51:37,982 --> 01:51:41,144
- Has he been apprehended?
- No, he escaped. The city gates...
1093
01:51:41,318 --> 01:51:45,721
- They were still open? By all the gods...
- No. They were closed and barred.
1094
01:51:45,889 --> 01:51:47,481
- But they...
- Well, out with it, boy.
1095
01:51:47,658 --> 01:51:50,149
- Well, the city gates, they...
- Yes, yes.
1096
01:51:50,327 --> 01:51:53,455
They are torn off. They're gone.
1097
01:52:04,675 --> 01:52:09,169
Firstly, cut out the tongue of anyone
spreading this story beyond the city limits.
1098
01:52:09,346 --> 01:52:11,814
I don't want them laughing at us
all the way to Ramah.
1099
01:52:11,982 --> 01:52:14,576
Then we send our whole army
into Israelite territories...
1100
01:52:14,752 --> 01:52:17,983
... not just the borderlands.
We should burn them all, Father.
1101
01:52:18,155 --> 01:52:19,645
Commander.
1102
01:52:20,324 --> 01:52:24,090
Withdraw the whole army
from Israelite territories.
1103
01:52:24,261 --> 01:52:26,729
And the borderlands too.
1104
01:52:26,997 --> 01:52:30,296
- Order it back here to Gaza.
- Father.
1105
01:52:30,768 --> 01:52:32,099
Continue, commander.
1106
01:52:32,669 --> 01:52:36,298
If we attack, the Israelites
will simply disperse.
1107
01:52:36,573 --> 01:52:39,667
Let them form an army, attack us.
1108
01:52:40,377 --> 01:52:44,108
I will meet them in the field
and I will destroy them all...
1109
01:52:44,281 --> 01:52:46,715
... in open battle.
- And Samson?
1110
01:52:46,884 --> 01:52:49,910
He must not be allowed
to lead a rebel army.
1111
01:52:50,087 --> 01:52:52,487
Without him, we will defeat them.
1112
01:52:52,890 --> 01:52:55,051
With him at their head...
1113
01:52:55,893 --> 01:52:58,919
We must find a way to prevent that.
1114
01:53:46,844 --> 01:53:50,109
They say their god gives him
his strength.
1115
01:53:52,115 --> 01:53:55,482
I'm just a simple soldier, Majesty,
not a priest.
1116
01:53:55,652 --> 01:53:58,712
Your plan hardly indicates
a military cast of mind.
1117
01:53:58,889 --> 01:54:00,857
A soldier can only deal
with what he knows.
1118
01:54:01,024 --> 01:54:05,256
And what we know of Samson
is he prefers our women to his own.
1119
01:54:05,429 --> 01:54:08,159
The allure of strange flesh...
1120
01:54:08,365 --> 01:54:11,163
... is strong within him.
- This scheme is preposterous.
1121
01:54:11,401 --> 01:54:15,497
What certainty do you have that
this Samson will take the bait you offer?
1122
01:54:15,672 --> 01:54:19,335
- Wouldn't you, if she was offered to you?
- What are we, panderers?
1123
01:54:20,510 --> 01:54:23,001
This is no way to neutralize an enemy.
1124
01:54:23,180 --> 01:54:27,640
There is no general on this earth could
devise a better plan to lay his enemy low...
1125
01:54:27,818 --> 01:54:31,549
... than to capture him by that part
of his body in which he is the weakest.
1126
01:54:36,826 --> 01:54:38,691
The fish will take the bait.
1127
01:54:39,161 --> 01:54:41,061
But will the bait agree to the fish?
1128
01:54:46,402 --> 01:54:49,098
In fishing, there's only one certainty:
1129
01:54:49,272 --> 01:54:51,467
You can never be sure of your catch.
1130
01:54:52,074 --> 01:54:55,043
There's always the danger that the fish
may escape with the bait.
1131
01:54:55,711 --> 01:54:57,645
Is that not so, general?
1132
01:54:59,782 --> 01:55:01,545
Very well, agreed.
1133
01:55:01,784 --> 01:55:03,046
Delilah?
1134
01:55:03,352 --> 01:55:05,343
I'll be proud to serve my people.
1135
01:55:05,888 --> 01:55:09,119
- In return for a financial consideration.
- Yes.
1136
01:55:09,292 --> 01:55:12,090
Your loyalty to the throne
is measured in silver.
1137
01:55:12,361 --> 01:55:14,386
I'm offended, but not surprised.
1138
01:55:15,064 --> 01:55:16,429
How much?
1139
01:55:16,866 --> 01:55:19,630
Eleven hundred pieces of silver...
1140
01:55:19,802 --> 01:55:22,464
... from everyone in this chamber.
1141
01:55:22,705 --> 01:55:23,933
Agreed.
1142
01:55:24,507 --> 01:55:26,771
Let us proceed with all haste.
1143
01:55:30,046 --> 01:55:33,914
Promise me, general, never to devise
a scheme that puts me in that one's bed.
1144
01:55:34,083 --> 01:55:36,142
Careful, madam. You speak treason.
1145
01:55:36,319 --> 01:55:38,651
No. I speak as a woman.
1146
01:55:38,821 --> 01:55:41,289
A woman now of independent means.
1147
01:55:41,457 --> 01:55:43,789
Well, a girl must look to her future.
1148
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:47,589
A future wealthy enough to escape
when the old king dies?
1149
01:55:47,763 --> 01:55:51,255
- Exactly.
- And Samson?
1150
01:55:52,001 --> 01:55:55,528
Would it be treason to tell you
I'm excited by the prospect...
1151
01:55:55,705 --> 01:55:57,502
... as a woman?
1152
01:55:57,673 --> 01:56:00,164
Would it be treason to tell you...
1153
01:56:00,343 --> 01:56:03,744
... I'm excited by your excitement,
as a man?
1154
01:56:06,949 --> 01:56:08,211
Tell me...
1155
01:56:08,384 --> 01:56:13,617
... have you ever wondered what it would
be like, you and me, together?
1156
01:56:14,023 --> 01:56:15,752
Several times.
1157
01:56:16,826 --> 01:56:21,286
I mean, several times each day...
1158
01:56:22,331 --> 01:56:24,299
... and each night.
1159
01:56:25,634 --> 01:56:28,865
Let's hope Samson
provides the same service.
1160
01:56:34,910 --> 01:56:37,140
Come home to us, Samson.
1161
01:56:37,313 --> 01:56:39,304
Have you not quenched
the fires within you?
1162
01:56:39,482 --> 01:56:41,575
Soon now. Soon I will come home.
1163
01:56:41,751 --> 01:56:45,448
Revenge is not the only cold dish
on which I have supped.
1164
01:56:45,621 --> 01:56:47,953
So tell me news of our people.
1165
01:56:48,491 --> 01:56:50,425
They plan rebellion.
1166
01:56:52,962 --> 01:56:56,329
- Who does?
- Jehiel. Amram.
1167
01:56:56,632 --> 01:56:59,328
Since you left, the only way
they can advance themselves...
1168
01:56:59,502 --> 01:57:02,869
... is to lead our men into war.
- They should be stopped.
1169
01:57:03,305 --> 01:57:05,569
- Naomi supports them in this?
- Surely.
1170
01:57:08,677 --> 01:57:10,872
And what of my mother?
1171
01:57:11,047 --> 01:57:12,947
Age is her only enemy now.
1172
01:57:13,716 --> 01:57:15,843
Age is no enemy.
1173
01:57:16,085 --> 01:57:18,280
It brings a courage and a wisdom
like no other.
1174
01:57:18,454 --> 01:57:20,012
The courage to face God.
1175
01:57:20,189 --> 01:57:23,158
Samson, nothing will stop them
taking arms.
1176
01:57:23,325 --> 01:57:24,815
Not even you.
1177
01:57:24,994 --> 01:57:27,154
But if you would come back now...
1178
01:57:27,996 --> 01:57:30,464
... lead them, then maybe...
- No, my friend.
1179
01:57:30,865 --> 01:57:32,093
No.
1180
01:57:35,703 --> 01:57:39,036
Rebellion will make martyrs,
but will not bring victory.
1181
01:57:39,207 --> 01:57:40,435
A generation will die...
1182
01:57:40,608 --> 01:57:44,044
... on Philistine swords.
- Lf you are not there to lead them.
1183
01:57:44,279 --> 01:57:46,975
The Lord God of Israel
calls you, Samson.
1184
01:57:47,148 --> 01:57:50,379
- Why do you not hear him?
- He gave me my strength.
1185
01:57:50,552 --> 01:57:53,646
- He gave me water when I was thirsty.
- Well, surely that's enough...
1186
01:57:53,822 --> 01:57:56,848
But he has never told me how
to destroy the Philistines.
1187
01:57:57,025 --> 01:58:00,392
He has never told me to join
in this march to certain death.
1188
01:58:00,695 --> 01:58:03,721
It's hard to hear someone's voice...
1189
01:58:05,166 --> 01:58:07,691
... when your back is turned to him.
1190
01:58:09,671 --> 01:58:12,435
If I came back,
it would be to stop them.
1191
01:58:12,974 --> 01:58:15,465
I could prevent them,
show them their foolishness.
1192
01:58:16,010 --> 01:58:18,035
Then do it, Samson.
1193
01:58:18,446 --> 01:58:20,505
Save them from themselves.
1194
01:58:20,715 --> 01:58:22,546
I beg you.
1195
01:58:24,986 --> 01:58:27,420
But though I begged, he did not hear me.
1196
01:58:27,589 --> 01:58:31,650
A voice greater than minedrew him towards his destiny.
1197
01:59:15,270 --> 01:59:17,830
They said there were fish
in the river.
1198
01:59:21,342 --> 01:59:23,708
But not one that walks.
1199
01:59:25,446 --> 01:59:27,107
Samson.
1200
01:59:29,017 --> 01:59:32,680
- Who are you?
- Who would you like me to be?
1201
01:59:53,575 --> 01:59:55,236
Samson.
1202
01:59:56,377 --> 01:59:59,175
That means "the son of the sun, "
doesn't it?
1203
01:59:59,347 --> 02:00:00,678
Yes.
1204
02:00:03,451 --> 02:00:04,679
I prefer the dark.
1205
02:00:07,288 --> 02:00:09,620
Looking up at the stars...
1206
02:00:09,791 --> 02:00:12,191
... where everything is written.
1207
02:00:13,528 --> 02:00:15,519
Perhaps you don't believe in that.
1208
02:00:17,966 --> 02:00:20,934
At this moment, here, now...
1209
02:00:21,535 --> 02:00:24,333
... I believe in the woman beside me.
1210
02:00:26,039 --> 02:00:28,803
You and I are supposed to be enemies.
1211
02:00:30,110 --> 02:00:32,670
But I don't see that
written in the stars.
1212
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:35,571
So therefore it cannot be so.
1213
02:00:42,155 --> 02:00:44,885
You are cousin to the king?
1214
02:00:45,058 --> 02:00:46,821
So they say.
1215
02:00:48,061 --> 02:00:49,619
And you?
1216
02:00:51,098 --> 02:00:54,158
- You are the chosen of your god.
- So they say.
1217
02:00:58,772 --> 02:01:00,569
Chosen for what?
1218
02:01:02,776 --> 02:01:04,573
To lead your people?
1219
02:01:06,113 --> 02:01:09,082
To lead them away
from foolishness, perhaps.
1220
02:01:09,883 --> 02:01:12,044
And why do you not do so?
1221
02:01:14,554 --> 02:01:16,579
Because I choose you.
1222
02:01:22,863 --> 02:01:26,458
- Are you tired?
- No.
1223
02:01:27,968 --> 02:01:29,458
Good.
1224
02:02:22,189 --> 02:02:24,384
Do you want to sleep?
1225
02:02:24,558 --> 02:02:26,526
No, do you?
1226
02:02:26,827 --> 02:02:28,192
No.
1227
02:02:34,935 --> 02:02:36,368
Chosen one.
1228
02:02:44,778 --> 02:02:46,803
I chose you too.
1229
02:03:42,101 --> 02:03:43,398
This is beautiful.
1230
02:03:43,602 --> 02:03:47,902
You see, we're also a simple people.
We love our childish games.
1231
02:03:50,075 --> 02:03:51,702
We have lives and loves.
1232
02:03:52,945 --> 02:03:55,641
We laugh and play.
1233
02:04:14,533 --> 02:04:15,761
Wait here.
1234
02:05:16,395 --> 02:05:18,795
Where does your strength
come from, Samson?
1235
02:05:18,964 --> 02:05:21,762
Like all strength,
it comes from within.
1236
02:05:21,934 --> 02:05:24,596
What could one do
to make you powerless in their arms?
1237
02:05:24,904 --> 02:05:28,499
- To make me weak like other men?
- Yes. What?
1238
02:05:28,674 --> 02:05:30,938
Even if I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.
1239
02:05:31,110 --> 02:05:32,805
Oh, I love secrets.
1240
02:05:35,347 --> 02:05:37,372
Why would I give up my strength?
1241
02:05:37,550 --> 02:05:40,576
- It's all I have.
- Except for me.
1242
02:05:43,322 --> 02:05:46,416
I want you powerless
in my arms.
1243
02:05:46,859 --> 02:05:50,260
- You'd tell no one?
- Who would I tell?
1244
02:06:02,041 --> 02:06:05,032
All right, if I were tied
with seven new bowstrings...
1245
02:06:05,243 --> 02:06:07,803
... I would lose all my strength.
1246
02:06:08,079 --> 02:06:10,377
Seven new bowstrings?
1247
02:06:10,548 --> 02:06:15,508
And thus did Delilah begin to seekfor the secret of his very soul.
1248
02:06:15,687 --> 02:06:19,316
And as the Philistines waited for himto be delivered to them...
1249
02:06:19,490 --> 02:06:22,288
... there was a man among themwho doubted, perhaps...
1250
02:06:22,460 --> 02:06:25,122
... the wisdom of his own plan.
1251
02:06:28,833 --> 02:06:31,267
Seven new bowstrings.
1252
02:06:36,507 --> 02:06:38,407
Tell me.
1253
02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:50,615
In the innocence of his love...
1254
02:06:50,788 --> 02:06:54,121
... beguiled, lost in Delilahand in their lovers ' games...
1255
02:06:54,292 --> 02:06:56,089
... Samson did not see danger.
1256
02:06:56,260 --> 02:06:58,194
Samson. Samson, the soldiers.
1257
02:06:58,363 --> 02:07:01,127
The first test, he kept his pact with God.
1258
02:07:01,299 --> 02:07:03,290
- Why do men always lie?
- What?
1259
02:07:27,158 --> 02:07:30,286
Samson. Samson, soldiers.
1260
02:07:30,461 --> 02:07:31,792
Soldiers, Samson.
1261
02:07:36,701 --> 02:07:38,760
You do not love me, Samson.
1262
02:07:40,104 --> 02:07:41,435
Yes.
1263
02:07:43,074 --> 02:07:44,701
More than reason itself.
1264
02:07:44,876 --> 02:07:47,970
And did Delilah herselfbegin to doubt?
1265
02:07:48,212 --> 02:07:53,081
Was the sign of his faith also the signof her true love for him?
1266
02:07:54,652 --> 02:07:59,021
For nine days and nine nightsthey were as one.
1267
02:07:59,190 --> 02:08:01,658
Samson fell beneath her spell.
1268
02:08:01,826 --> 02:08:06,388
It was beyond lust. He loved her truly, as a man loves a woman.
1269
02:08:06,631 --> 02:08:08,098
Her flesh, yes...
1270
02:08:08,299 --> 02:08:12,258
... but her heart, her soul, her every breath.
1271
02:08:15,673 --> 02:08:19,905
And blinded by that love, he forgot his mission.
1272
02:08:36,260 --> 02:08:38,285
Tell me.
1273
02:08:38,563 --> 02:08:40,258
You know already.
1274
02:08:45,937 --> 02:08:47,336
Tell me.
1275
02:08:47,505 --> 02:08:51,202
Bind me with your arms and love.
1276
02:09:13,263 --> 02:09:16,130
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
1277
02:09:17,100 --> 02:09:18,727
Delilah, tell me.
1278
02:09:19,903 --> 02:09:23,031
What do you think?
You keep lying to me.
1279
02:09:25,509 --> 02:09:27,602
They're games. They're not lies.
1280
02:09:29,179 --> 02:09:30,908
So why not the truth?
1281
02:09:34,351 --> 02:09:37,149
Because you are not of my people.
1282
02:09:38,455 --> 02:09:40,923
And I've never told anyone.
1283
02:09:41,091 --> 02:09:43,355
I'm not of your people?
1284
02:09:46,630 --> 02:09:48,655
I am you.
1285
02:09:48,832 --> 02:09:50,800
We're one.
1286
02:09:50,967 --> 02:09:52,992
The rest is nothing.
1287
02:09:55,105 --> 02:09:57,335
Even my own have betrayed me.
1288
02:09:59,209 --> 02:10:01,268
And you think I will too?
1289
02:10:05,148 --> 02:10:08,879
I, who've given you my life,
am giving you my life.
1290
02:10:13,390 --> 02:10:15,381
Do you doubt my love?
1291
02:10:15,559 --> 02:10:16,992
No.
1292
02:10:18,562 --> 02:10:21,030
- Do you doubt me?
- No.
1293
02:10:24,968 --> 02:10:26,868
Of course you do.
1294
02:10:31,208 --> 02:10:33,870
I cannot give up my only gift.
1295
02:10:34,044 --> 02:10:35,978
Your gift?
1296
02:10:36,146 --> 02:10:39,047
Do you think I really
want you weakened?
1297
02:10:39,216 --> 02:10:40,808
Powerless?
1298
02:10:40,984 --> 02:10:43,111
I love you...
1299
02:10:43,653 --> 02:10:46,144
... the man that you are.
1300
02:10:46,323 --> 02:10:48,814
Why would I want to change you?
1301
02:10:52,295 --> 02:10:53,762
These...
1302
02:10:54,965 --> 02:10:57,763
These are games we've been playing.
1303
02:10:58,668 --> 02:11:01,933
If I told you the truth,
you could not test me.
1304
02:11:05,475 --> 02:11:09,468
- I would not.
- To test me is to destroy me.
1305
02:11:10,614 --> 02:11:14,209
- I understand.
- You could not.
1306
02:11:14,384 --> 02:11:16,818
No games with the truth.
1307
02:11:18,688 --> 02:11:21,714
None then. None ever.
1308
02:11:30,700 --> 02:11:32,998
You're so beautiful.
1309
02:11:35,405 --> 02:11:37,100
No more tests.
1310
02:11:38,441 --> 02:11:39,999
Just love.
1311
02:11:40,810 --> 02:11:42,539
The proof of love.
1312
02:11:44,514 --> 02:11:46,482
I cannot be betrayed in this.
1313
02:11:49,819 --> 02:11:51,945
I give you my word.
1314
02:11:55,925 --> 02:11:58,189
We are as one.
1315
02:11:58,527 --> 02:12:00,324
As one.
1316
02:13:31,620 --> 02:13:35,488
Why have you been crying,
my only love? Have you not slept?
1317
02:13:35,657 --> 02:13:38,854
- I've been watching over you.
- And you were sad?
1318
02:13:41,597 --> 02:13:43,258
My heart...
1319
02:13:43,432 --> 02:13:45,866
... is heavier than all the iron in our land.
- Why?
1320
02:13:50,973 --> 02:13:55,137
While you were sleeping, I held the power
of life or death in my hands.
1321
02:14:06,055 --> 02:14:08,683
The life or death of the man you love?
1322
02:14:12,628 --> 02:14:14,528
But you did not cut.
1323
02:14:16,432 --> 02:14:19,367
No. I did not.
1324
02:14:27,576 --> 02:14:29,703
- But now...
- Now?
1325
02:14:29,878 --> 02:14:31,607
Now I must.
1326
02:14:31,814 --> 02:14:33,304
Put that away.
1327
02:14:34,416 --> 02:14:37,977
When power is given,
how can it not be used?
1328
02:14:38,153 --> 02:14:40,883
Because love is stronger still.
1329
02:14:42,091 --> 02:14:43,523
Oh, yes.
1330
02:14:44,192 --> 02:14:45,819
Love.
1331
02:14:48,896 --> 02:14:50,557
Love.
1332
02:15:19,627 --> 02:15:21,219
Take him!
1333
02:15:25,833 --> 02:15:27,425
Remember me, Israelite?
1334
02:15:28,436 --> 02:15:31,599
Where is your strength now,
savior of Israel?
1335
02:15:31,772 --> 02:15:33,535
And where is your god?
1336
02:15:34,509 --> 02:15:35,771
Cut!
1337
02:15:38,613 --> 02:15:40,137
Bring him out!
1338
02:15:49,857 --> 02:15:51,552
Delilah!
1339
02:15:51,993 --> 02:15:53,824
- Delilah!
- No!
1340
02:15:56,097 --> 02:15:57,894
No!
1341
02:16:48,649 --> 02:16:50,378
My son.
1342
02:16:55,156 --> 02:16:56,783
My son.
1343
02:17:29,624 --> 02:17:31,387
Enjoy yourself, Israelite!
1344
02:17:58,652 --> 02:18:00,643
You have forsaken me?
1345
02:18:04,090 --> 02:18:05,751
Look.
1346
02:18:08,728 --> 02:18:10,719
It is there.
1347
02:18:11,698 --> 02:18:13,757
The sign.
1348
02:18:19,673 --> 02:18:23,439
- Praise the Lord.
- Now we can begin.
1349
02:18:44,230 --> 02:18:46,494
The time has come.
1350
02:18:47,167 --> 02:18:49,635
The time is now!
1351
02:18:50,270 --> 02:18:53,706
We shall no longer bow our heads!
1352
02:18:53,973 --> 02:18:57,966
We shall no longer bend our knees...
1353
02:18:58,178 --> 02:19:02,478
... to the Philistines
and their images of gods.
1354
02:19:04,184 --> 02:19:06,550
Our seeds shall multiply...
1355
02:19:06,720 --> 02:19:09,416
... and flourish in freedom.
1356
02:19:11,057 --> 02:19:14,424
And we shall come to know...
1357
02:19:14,594 --> 02:19:16,994
... how they walked as free men.
1358
02:19:17,163 --> 02:19:19,529
Lord, forgive Samson.
1359
02:19:19,699 --> 02:19:23,260
Stay by his side.
Please stay by his side.
1360
02:19:27,474 --> 02:19:29,669
Do not abandon him now.
1361
02:19:29,843 --> 02:19:32,505
Please, Lord, help him.
1362
02:19:33,413 --> 02:19:34,778
Please.
1363
02:19:37,417 --> 02:19:40,443
Now it shall begin.
1364
02:19:41,855 --> 02:19:45,291
We shall take off the yoke...
1365
02:19:45,492 --> 02:19:47,687
... of the unclean!
1366
02:19:49,262 --> 02:19:50,889
No, I beg you.
1367
02:19:51,064 --> 02:19:52,725
I beg you, stop!
1368
02:19:53,500 --> 02:19:56,196
- It is the will of God.
- No. No, it is the will of men.
1369
02:19:56,369 --> 02:19:57,927
Silence!
1370
02:19:58,104 --> 02:20:00,004
The Lord is with us!
1371
02:20:03,209 --> 02:20:06,804
We shall be cloaked in divine armor.
1372
02:20:07,881 --> 02:20:10,042
For Gaza!
1373
02:20:14,120 --> 02:20:16,054
For Gaza!
1374
02:20:17,490 --> 02:20:19,219
For Gaza!
1375
02:21:16,281 --> 02:21:18,010
Where is he?
1376
02:21:18,183 --> 02:21:20,617
Disturbed from my sleep for that...
1377
02:21:20,919 --> 02:21:23,615
That piece of...
Move your feet.
1378
02:21:25,023 --> 02:21:27,514
You maggot-ridden vermins.
1379
02:21:31,263 --> 02:21:33,356
On your feet, Israelite.
1380
02:21:35,200 --> 02:21:37,259
On your feet.
1381
02:21:37,669 --> 02:21:39,569
Up. Up!
1382
02:21:42,374 --> 02:21:43,671
Yes.
1383
02:21:43,842 --> 02:21:46,436
There's somebody to see you.
1384
02:21:46,612 --> 02:21:48,807
And if you know
what's good for you...
1385
02:21:48,981 --> 02:21:50,312
Move!
1386
02:21:50,482 --> 02:21:52,450
Behave yourself.
1387
02:21:52,618 --> 02:21:54,984
Up the steps. Come.
1388
02:21:58,590 --> 02:22:00,490
Sit him down.
1389
02:22:06,798 --> 02:22:08,561
Now lay him down.
1390
02:22:12,638 --> 02:22:14,401
Wait outside.
1391
02:22:18,010 --> 02:22:19,443
Drink.
1392
02:22:30,188 --> 02:22:32,019
Who are you?
1393
02:22:32,457 --> 02:22:34,254
Your enemy.
1394
02:22:40,132 --> 02:22:41,929
Do not be afraid.
1395
02:22:47,739 --> 02:22:49,866
I cannot restore his sight.
1396
02:22:50,042 --> 02:22:52,135
- But you can ease the pain?
- Yes.
1397
02:22:52,311 --> 02:22:54,609
Then use all your skill.
1398
02:23:07,826 --> 02:23:10,522
Tell me about your god, Samson.
1399
02:23:12,998 --> 02:23:15,933
He is the one God, the true God.
1400
02:23:19,638 --> 02:23:22,902
- And he has brought you to this?
- Yes.
1401
02:23:23,641 --> 02:23:26,542
Then he is a harsh god.
1402
02:23:26,744 --> 02:23:29,144
I have been a great sinner.
1403
02:23:31,515 --> 02:23:33,710
You think he punishes you?
1404
02:23:34,218 --> 02:23:35,651
I know it.
1405
02:23:38,289 --> 02:23:40,484
Then how do you make amends?
1406
02:23:41,525 --> 02:23:44,756
I pray for the courage to repent.
1407
02:23:48,933 --> 02:23:50,992
I will speak to the jailer.
1408
02:23:52,837 --> 02:23:57,274
I will see to it that
you are treated better.
1409
02:24:00,211 --> 02:24:03,510
Will you speak to them
of the other prisoners also?
1410
02:24:03,681 --> 02:24:06,081
That I cannot do.
1411
02:24:07,351 --> 02:24:10,616
Then neither must you
speak to them of me.
1412
02:24:12,456 --> 02:24:14,481
You are stubborn.
1413
02:24:14,992 --> 02:24:17,085
And proud, yes.
1414
02:24:18,429 --> 02:24:20,420
But no longer vain.
1415
02:24:22,833 --> 02:24:24,926
Why did you come?
1416
02:24:25,836 --> 02:24:27,463
To see you.
1417
02:24:29,073 --> 02:24:30,438
To learn.
1418
02:24:37,381 --> 02:24:40,714
And to tell you that tomorrow...
1419
02:24:41,552 --> 02:24:45,716
... I will lead our army
against your Israelites...
1420
02:24:45,890 --> 02:24:47,357
... and I will win.
1421
02:24:47,992 --> 02:24:50,483
I will surely win.
1422
02:24:50,661 --> 02:24:52,629
Yes, I know.
1423
02:24:53,097 --> 02:24:54,724
You know?
1424
02:24:55,366 --> 02:24:57,061
How do you know?
1425
02:24:57,435 --> 02:24:59,062
I see it...
1426
02:25:00,104 --> 02:25:02,834
... as I see into your heart.
1427
02:25:04,775 --> 02:25:07,335
I am the first general
of the Philistines...
1428
02:25:07,511 --> 02:25:11,379
... your enemy, Samson,
and I have no heart.
1429
02:25:11,615 --> 02:25:13,549
You are not my enemy.
1430
02:25:16,487 --> 02:25:19,012
At last I understand...
1431
02:25:21,058 --> 02:25:24,084
... how I have filled that role myself.
1432
02:25:52,256 --> 02:25:55,885
Thousands of them.
Cavalry, chariots.
1433
02:25:56,060 --> 02:25:58,528
Old Tariq's commanding them.
1434
02:25:58,696 --> 02:26:01,290
The Israelites are for it now.
1435
02:26:01,465 --> 02:26:03,626
They won't stand a chance.
1436
02:26:08,506 --> 02:26:10,497
You! Get away from there!
1437
02:26:10,908 --> 02:26:13,103
Get down! Get down!
1438
02:26:13,277 --> 02:26:16,302
Go on. Get away from there,
all of you. Get back!
1439
02:26:31,327 --> 02:26:33,090
The Philistines!
1440
02:26:33,296 --> 02:26:37,733
Strike fear, O God, in their hearts!
1441
02:26:38,902 --> 02:26:40,563
Scatter them!
1442
02:27:04,327 --> 02:27:06,420
What is this place?
1443
02:27:07,330 --> 02:27:09,161
We are above a valley.
1444
02:27:09,332 --> 02:27:11,732
At this end is our Philistine army...
1445
02:27:11,901 --> 02:27:14,529
... and at the other...
- The Israelites.
1446
02:27:14,704 --> 02:27:16,604
- Yes.
- With weapons of bronze...
1447
02:27:16,773 --> 02:27:20,265
... and foolish generals
and empty certainties.
1448
02:27:20,577 --> 02:27:25,480
A soldier of mine who spoke those words
would lose his head as a traitor.
1449
02:27:25,648 --> 02:27:27,377
The truth betrays no one.
1450
02:27:27,784 --> 02:27:30,184
Was this really necessary?
1451
02:27:32,222 --> 02:27:34,417
Does it not amuse you, general?
1452
02:27:34,591 --> 02:27:35,922
No.
1453
02:27:36,092 --> 02:27:38,356
I thought you were a man
of wit and humor.
1454
02:27:38,528 --> 02:27:40,723
I thought you were a prince
of dignity.
1455
02:27:42,899 --> 02:27:47,268
The only pity is that he cannot see
his people meet their destiny with death.
1456
02:27:56,179 --> 02:27:59,774
The Israelites are coming forward now.
They advance.
1457
02:28:00,016 --> 02:28:02,917
In moments, our own army
will step out to meet them.
1458
02:28:03,720 --> 02:28:05,585
Soon now.
1459
02:28:07,423 --> 02:28:10,051
- Soon.
- The Philistines hold their position?
1460
02:28:10,226 --> 02:28:11,955
Yes.
1461
02:28:16,432 --> 02:28:19,230
General Tariq,
give the order to attack.
1462
02:28:23,606 --> 02:28:25,164
Scatter them!
1463
02:28:27,010 --> 02:28:30,275
There. A signal has been fired. Now.
1464
02:28:38,688 --> 02:28:40,713
What? Tell me.
1465
02:28:41,457 --> 02:28:44,392
The Philistine foot soldiers
in the center...
1466
02:28:44,827 --> 02:28:46,795
... they are retreating.
1467
02:28:46,963 --> 02:28:49,454
- Retreating?
- General, forbid your men from retreating.
1468
02:28:49,632 --> 02:28:52,567
- They obey my orders.
- What kind of soldiers are they?
1469
02:28:52,735 --> 02:28:56,501
- Skilled in the tactics of war.
- They are pulling back.
1470
02:28:56,673 --> 02:28:58,072
No.
1471
02:28:58,641 --> 02:29:01,804
No, they are leading
the Israelite lambs...
1472
02:29:01,978 --> 02:29:03,843
... to my slaughterhouse.
1473
02:29:06,282 --> 02:29:08,841
I hate an incompetent enemy.
1474
02:29:09,017 --> 02:29:10,712
They make me less.
1475
02:29:10,886 --> 02:29:12,376
Less?
1476
02:29:12,554 --> 02:29:14,317
They turn a general into a butcher.
1477
02:29:14,489 --> 02:29:16,821
- Charge!
- Charge!
1478
02:29:20,595 --> 02:29:23,257
Our foot soldiers
have stopped retreating.
1479
02:29:23,632 --> 02:29:26,328
The cavalry detachments
on each flank are advancing.
1480
02:29:26,902 --> 02:29:28,893
The bowmen are ready.
1481
02:29:31,506 --> 02:29:34,475
The trap is sprung.
They stumble into it.
1482
02:31:03,298 --> 02:31:04,629
Amram.
1483
02:31:10,072 --> 02:31:11,767
Tell him.
1484
02:31:11,940 --> 02:31:13,965
Now the chariots swing round.
1485
02:31:14,910 --> 02:31:16,275
They ride them down.
1486
02:31:21,450 --> 02:31:23,042
Their lines are broken.
1487
02:31:28,390 --> 02:31:30,085
They are broken.
1488
02:31:44,573 --> 02:31:47,565
- Where are you going?
- The battle's over.
1489
02:31:47,909 --> 02:31:49,501
God, forgive my people.
1490
02:31:49,778 --> 02:31:52,440
- Don't you want to watch?
- No, Your Highness.
1491
02:31:52,614 --> 02:31:55,242
Like watching the ocean tide
come in...
1492
02:31:55,417 --> 02:31:57,977
... it is inevitable, but dull.
1493
02:31:58,186 --> 02:32:01,245
Magnificent, general.
This is your victory.
1494
02:32:01,422 --> 02:32:04,050
A tide is a tide, Your Highness...
1495
02:32:04,225 --> 02:32:07,058
... even when it's measured in blood.
1496
02:32:17,671 --> 02:32:19,366
Samson.
1497
02:32:20,641 --> 02:32:23,371
- Samson.
- Jehiel? Jehiel.
1498
02:32:23,644 --> 02:32:25,976
Samson. No!
1499
02:32:29,950 --> 02:32:32,418
Bravely done, Your Highness.
1500
02:32:32,586 --> 02:32:34,417
Bravely done.
1501
02:33:23,270 --> 02:33:25,534
It pleases the people.
1502
02:33:25,706 --> 02:33:28,334
But did it please our gods?
1503
02:33:28,943 --> 02:33:31,673
It was a great victory, my old friend.
1504
02:33:31,979 --> 02:33:35,039
Yes, Majesty. A great victory.
1505
02:34:51,458 --> 02:34:52,720
Go on!
1506
02:34:53,960 --> 02:34:55,450
Get up!
1507
02:35:14,881 --> 02:35:17,645
When his eyes were taken...
1508
02:35:17,917 --> 02:35:20,909
... your beauty was taken from him too.
1509
02:35:23,389 --> 02:35:26,847
Now you're the same to him
as any other woman.
1510
02:36:06,466 --> 02:36:08,559
And thus, in his suffering...
1511
02:36:08,735 --> 02:36:11,932
... did the faith of Samsonbegin to grow.
1512
02:36:12,105 --> 02:36:14,505
How could God's design be fulfilled...
1513
02:36:14,674 --> 02:36:18,440
... by a powerless blind manchained to a wheel?
1514
02:36:18,711 --> 02:36:21,612
The mystery of God's plancould be seen by no one.
1515
02:36:21,781 --> 02:36:23,476
Except, perhaps...
1516
02:36:23,649 --> 02:36:26,982
... the one man who could seenothing else.
1517
02:37:02,321 --> 02:37:04,846
Even as the Philistines rejoiced...
1518
02:37:05,024 --> 02:37:08,516
... there was still one who knewthat the shadow of doubt...
1519
02:37:08,694 --> 02:37:11,788
... can darken man 's brightest day.
1520
02:37:39,492 --> 02:37:43,087
In all of Gaza, the one who had doubted...
1521
02:37:43,262 --> 02:37:46,322
... began to wonder if he toowas part of the instrument...
1522
02:37:46,499 --> 02:37:49,262
... of God's unknowable design.
1523
02:38:18,263 --> 02:38:19,992
Quickly, now.
1524
02:38:25,670 --> 02:38:27,001
Quickly!
1525
02:38:31,676 --> 02:38:33,234
Go on.
1526
02:38:35,847 --> 02:38:37,371
Samson.
1527
02:38:39,084 --> 02:38:40,813
Yoram?
1528
02:38:42,787 --> 02:38:44,550
Yoram?
1529
02:38:45,924 --> 02:38:49,018
It's not much, but the lamb is good.
1530
02:38:51,463 --> 02:38:53,897
- How did you get... ?
- I found work here.
1531
02:38:54,065 --> 02:38:55,692
Drink.
1532
02:38:59,404 --> 02:39:01,304
God is good.
1533
02:39:17,255 --> 02:39:19,018
A beard.
1534
02:39:20,458 --> 02:39:23,757
You're a man, Yoram.
No longer the child I used to know.
1535
02:39:24,763 --> 02:39:28,199
And one day I'll be old. Drink. Eat.
1536
02:39:31,937 --> 02:39:35,100
- My mother?
- Living.
1537
02:39:36,575 --> 02:39:39,271
- And Naomi?
- Here, in Gaza.
1538
02:39:39,444 --> 02:39:40,775
She's here?
1539
02:39:41,746 --> 02:39:43,907
She's mad. The danger.
1540
02:39:46,685 --> 02:39:48,516
Ira is dead.
1541
02:39:49,521 --> 02:39:51,853
His sons, killed in the battle.
1542
02:39:52,791 --> 02:39:55,726
He lived a few weeks,
and died with God's name on his lips.
1543
02:39:56,094 --> 02:39:57,618
Ira.
1544
02:39:58,663 --> 02:40:01,757
He kept showing me the way,
and I kept looking elsewhere.
1545
02:40:01,933 --> 02:40:04,959
All right. Finish now. Come on.
1546
02:40:05,136 --> 02:40:07,263
- Eat and remember what he taught us:
- Up. Up.
1547
02:40:07,439 --> 02:40:10,306
God's hand writes straight
even when the lines are crooked.
1548
02:40:10,475 --> 02:40:13,774
Come on. Come on. Come on, up!
1549
02:40:26,791 --> 02:40:31,125
God is my strength. God is my strength.
God is my...
1550
02:40:37,135 --> 02:40:38,568
Your Highness?
1551
02:40:39,604 --> 02:40:42,265
- What do you want?
- Someone wishes to see you.
1552
02:40:42,806 --> 02:40:44,467
A woman.
1553
02:40:44,642 --> 02:40:46,473
An Israelite woman.
1554
02:40:48,345 --> 02:40:52,145
- How much did she bribe you?
- Your Highness.
1555
02:40:53,917 --> 02:40:55,384
Fetch her.
1556
02:41:16,540 --> 02:41:17,905
Leave us.
1557
02:41:27,484 --> 02:41:29,247
Who are you?
1558
02:41:29,787 --> 02:41:31,516
Just a woman.
1559
02:41:35,359 --> 02:41:37,259
Well...
1560
02:41:37,428 --> 02:41:39,259
... what do you want?
1561
02:41:40,431 --> 02:41:42,592
I want you to help me
to see someone.
1562
02:41:44,902 --> 02:41:46,927
You do, do you?
1563
02:41:50,974 --> 02:41:53,135
And who might that be?
1564
02:41:54,078 --> 02:41:55,807
Samson.
1565
02:41:59,249 --> 02:42:01,217
Just a woman.
1566
02:42:05,155 --> 02:42:08,750
This will be a feast to remember,
my faithful friends.
1567
02:42:08,926 --> 02:42:12,293
Majesty, to make the celebrations
complete, could you not order Samson...
1568
02:42:12,463 --> 02:42:15,296
... be brought down and displayed?
- You are cruel, Delilah.
1569
02:42:15,466 --> 02:42:19,027
The savior of Israel, Samson,
brought here in chains?
1570
02:42:20,137 --> 02:42:23,470
- What do you think, my old friend?
- Well, surely...
1571
02:42:24,274 --> 02:42:26,435
... if Delilah wishes, Majesty.
1572
02:42:27,211 --> 02:42:29,145
The weakness of beautiful women...
1573
02:42:29,313 --> 02:42:32,282
... is that they become soft
because men can deny them nothing.
1574
02:42:32,449 --> 02:42:36,044
Surely, Delilah, above all...
1575
02:42:36,220 --> 02:42:38,279
... deserves to be rewarded.
1576
02:42:38,455 --> 02:42:40,286
Rewarded, yes.
1577
02:42:40,457 --> 02:42:42,925
And consoled, eh?
1578
02:42:43,193 --> 02:42:45,252
So it shall be.
1579
02:43:01,745 --> 02:43:05,545
God is my strength.
God is my strength.
1580
02:43:05,749 --> 02:43:07,740
God is my strength.
1581
02:43:26,804 --> 02:43:29,898
Why did you ask for Samson
to be brought here?
1582
02:43:30,541 --> 02:43:34,636
- To entertain his captors.
- Has he not suffered enough?
1583
02:43:36,946 --> 02:43:40,006
All the world's a wheel, commander.
1584
02:43:40,183 --> 02:43:42,879
- You taught me that once.
- I did?
1585
02:43:43,052 --> 02:43:44,883
And when was that?
1586
02:43:46,055 --> 02:43:48,922
Before I knew the pain of feeling.
1587
02:43:53,529 --> 02:43:56,430
You did not want him here
just for display.
1588
02:43:59,502 --> 02:44:00,969
No.
1589
02:44:01,871 --> 02:44:03,702
Then what?
1590
02:44:04,540 --> 02:44:08,271
Because even though I sold him,
he's still mine.
1591
02:44:13,683 --> 02:44:15,241
Is he?
1592
02:44:43,279 --> 02:44:44,871
Samson.
1593
02:44:46,682 --> 02:44:49,014
I have sinned against him.
1594
02:44:49,852 --> 02:44:52,844
Every law, every commandment.
1595
02:44:53,656 --> 02:44:55,988
How can he forgive me?
1596
02:44:56,158 --> 02:44:58,592
The mercy of God is infinite.
1597
02:45:00,863 --> 02:45:03,195
And his punishment severe.
1598
02:45:17,146 --> 02:45:21,014
You've looked all your life, Samson,
for a sign.
1599
02:45:23,219 --> 02:45:26,416
And never knew that
the need to search...
1600
02:45:27,189 --> 02:45:29,817
... was itself the sign.
1601
02:45:32,528 --> 02:45:34,325
But now?
1602
02:45:36,065 --> 02:45:38,499
Now everything is dark.
1603
02:45:42,939 --> 02:45:45,430
And within the darkness...
1604
02:45:45,841 --> 02:45:47,741
... I see the Lord.
1605
02:45:50,513 --> 02:45:53,107
The only world I see now
belongs to God.
1606
02:45:54,550 --> 02:45:56,415
Oh, Samson.
1607
02:45:57,853 --> 02:45:59,218
Yes.
1608
02:45:59,755 --> 02:46:03,282
On your feet, Israelite. Boy, help him.
1609
02:46:11,334 --> 02:46:14,303
Out of the way there.
Come on. Get back.
1610
02:46:14,470 --> 02:46:18,770
Move. Move for the savior of Israel.
1611
02:46:20,476 --> 02:46:22,467
The savior of Israel.
1612
02:46:28,483 --> 02:46:30,451
The savior of Israel.
1613
02:46:45,200 --> 02:46:49,068
- Are you his woman?
- I thought you were.
1614
02:46:50,071 --> 02:46:51,629
No.
1615
02:46:52,173 --> 02:46:54,801
I'm the woman he trusted.
1616
02:46:57,379 --> 02:47:00,280
When he looked into my eyes,
I was the last he saw.
1617
02:47:00,448 --> 02:47:02,678
You hated him so much?
1618
02:47:05,453 --> 02:47:07,387
They paid me well.
1619
02:47:16,865 --> 02:47:19,026
You hated him so much?
1620
02:47:20,568 --> 02:47:22,468
He'd become too dangerous.
1621
02:47:24,139 --> 02:47:26,164
You hated him...
1622
02:47:26,541 --> 02:47:28,372
... so much.
1623
02:47:28,877 --> 02:47:32,745
No. I loved him too well.
1624
02:47:32,914 --> 02:47:35,178
Yet still you brought him down.
1625
02:47:38,286 --> 02:47:39,913
Yes.
1626
02:47:40,088 --> 02:47:41,953
That's enough.
1627
02:47:42,123 --> 02:47:44,057
This is not love.
1628
02:47:49,397 --> 02:47:51,228
And you?
1629
02:47:51,399 --> 02:47:53,299
Do you love him?
1630
02:47:54,102 --> 02:47:56,002
Since I first knew him.
1631
02:48:00,275 --> 02:48:02,835
And he loved you?
1632
02:48:10,085 --> 02:48:13,452
Come. I'll make a bargain with you.
1633
02:48:13,688 --> 02:48:16,680
Come. A very small bargain.
1634
02:48:26,234 --> 02:48:28,031
So everything is ready?
1635
02:48:28,203 --> 02:48:29,693
Good.
1636
02:48:34,676 --> 02:48:36,109
Yoram, where are we?
1637
02:48:36,277 --> 02:48:38,973
- Where are they taking me?
- To the pillars.
1638
02:48:51,326 --> 02:48:53,487
- Yoram.
- I'm here.
1639
02:48:53,962 --> 02:48:55,657
I'm here.
1640
02:48:56,798 --> 02:48:58,265
Now go.
1641
02:48:58,633 --> 02:49:00,498
Yoram, know that I have loved you.
1642
02:49:01,069 --> 02:49:03,230
- But I can stay.
- Go.
1643
02:49:03,404 --> 02:49:06,373
- Go quickly.
- Samson.
1644
02:49:06,875 --> 02:49:08,103
Go quickly.
1645
02:49:10,011 --> 02:49:11,808
Go to him.
1646
02:49:13,648 --> 02:49:15,343
Samson.
1647
02:49:18,019 --> 02:49:19,508
Samson.
1648
02:49:20,721 --> 02:49:21,915
Naomi?
1649
02:49:26,226 --> 02:49:28,091
Naomi?
1650
02:49:28,262 --> 02:49:29,695
Naomi.
1651
02:49:29,863 --> 02:49:31,490
Samson.
1652
02:49:33,500 --> 02:49:37,459
- Take her with you, Yoram. Take her.
- No. Not yet.
1653
02:49:37,638 --> 02:49:41,005
Give us a few moments.
For all the years.
1654
02:49:41,842 --> 02:49:43,503
Yes.
1655
02:49:44,178 --> 02:49:45,839
A few moments.
1656
02:49:50,017 --> 02:49:54,147
And when I tell you to go, you will leave
at once, out of the temple, out of the city.
1657
02:49:54,321 --> 02:49:58,189
- Yes, yes. What is it, Samson?
- Do you swear, both of you?
1658
02:49:58,358 --> 02:50:01,122
- Yes. I swear.
- Yes, I swear.
1659
02:50:04,464 --> 02:50:06,432
Here I am.
1660
02:50:06,600 --> 02:50:09,228
Beside me, where you've always been.
1661
02:50:11,238 --> 02:50:15,572
And now my body wears chains
that have always been around my heart.
1662
02:50:15,742 --> 02:50:18,336
And yet I see you as you are. Free.
1663
02:50:18,679 --> 02:50:21,375
It is they who are enslaved.
1664
02:50:21,715 --> 02:50:23,649
They will all die.
1665
02:50:24,484 --> 02:50:26,076
What?
1666
02:50:28,555 --> 02:50:30,352
All men must die.
1667
02:50:30,524 --> 02:50:32,890
Only the hour is unknown.
1668
02:50:35,696 --> 02:50:38,221
Will you kiss me farewell, Samson?
1669
02:50:38,398 --> 02:50:41,526
- Naomi, do not torture me.
- Please.
1670
02:50:41,902 --> 02:50:43,995
With the mark of your kiss...
1671
02:50:44,171 --> 02:50:46,605
... I will always be blessed.
1672
02:50:59,686 --> 02:51:02,951
Dry your tears, woman.
1673
02:51:06,293 --> 02:51:10,855
It has taken me a lifetime to understand
God is the God of forgiveness.
1674
02:51:18,672 --> 02:51:19,900
Now.
1675
02:51:20,340 --> 02:51:22,331
Leave me now.
1676
02:51:22,809 --> 02:51:24,640
It is over.
1677
02:51:29,950 --> 02:51:31,315
Boy...
1678
02:51:31,852 --> 02:51:34,320
... I want you to do something for me.
1679
02:51:34,488 --> 02:51:37,924
Leave the temple.
Ride away from Gaza.
1680
02:51:38,091 --> 02:51:39,490
- General?
- Do as I say, boy.
1681
02:51:41,061 --> 02:51:42,323
Ride like the wind.
1682
02:51:42,496 --> 02:51:44,464
- Yes, commander.
- Hurry.
1683
02:51:44,631 --> 02:51:47,395
- In which direction, general?
- West.
1684
02:51:48,101 --> 02:51:50,365
- To the sea?
- Yes.
1685
02:51:50,537 --> 02:51:51,595
And then?
1686
02:51:57,077 --> 02:51:59,705
Submerge yourself in the water.
1687
02:52:01,415 --> 02:52:03,315
Then ride back.
1688
02:52:04,785 --> 02:52:06,116
Go.
1689
02:52:19,298 --> 02:52:21,823
Now, O God of Israel...
1690
02:52:22,501 --> 02:52:25,334
... grant me that for which I was born.
1691
02:52:28,841 --> 02:52:33,505
There is Samson,
hero of the mighty Israelites...
1692
02:52:33,679 --> 02:52:37,547
... come to worship at the altar
of our gods, whom you defied.
1693
02:52:38,551 --> 02:52:41,952
Grant me the strength again just once...
1694
02:52:42,121 --> 02:52:43,918
... O God.
1695
02:52:51,664 --> 02:52:55,532
Forgive Samson, God of Israel.
1696
02:53:01,173 --> 02:53:02,504
Kill him!
1697
02:53:03,042 --> 02:53:04,907
Kill him!
1698
02:53:09,415 --> 02:53:10,643
Kill him!
1699
02:53:33,572 --> 02:53:36,939
My son. My son. You knew.
1700
02:53:38,043 --> 02:53:39,704
You knew!
1701
02:54:34,300 --> 02:54:37,531
Forgive my son, O God of Israel.
1702
02:54:39,572 --> 02:54:42,405
With me die the Philistines.
1703
02:54:45,945 --> 02:54:47,276
Run for your life!
1704
02:54:51,450 --> 02:54:54,442
At last, O God of Israel!
1705
02:56:36,387 --> 02:56:40,585
And thus did Samson returnto the land of Israel.
1706
02:56:40,825 --> 02:56:44,056
Thus did my friend, the son of Mara and Manoah...
1707
02:56:44,228 --> 02:56:47,061
... judge of his people, return to his home...
1708
02:56:47,265 --> 02:56:52,293
... passing on the way the very wellwhere the stranger had foretold his birth.
1709
02:56:52,503 --> 02:56:55,563
The will of God had been fulfilled...
1710
02:56:55,740 --> 02:56:58,174
... and the faith which in his lifehe had sought...
1711
02:56:58,343 --> 02:57:01,540
... was now finally and certainly found.
1712
02:57:01,713 --> 02:57:05,171
It was not the leastof his gifts to me.
1713
02:57:05,350 --> 02:57:07,910
To all things, there is a purpose.
1714
02:57:08,086 --> 02:57:10,782
It was throughthe Philistine woman, Delilah...
1715
02:57:10,955 --> 02:57:13,549
... that Samson finally cameto the faith...
1716
02:57:13,725 --> 02:57:18,219
... which began the liberationthat the Lord God of Israel had promised.
1717
02:57:18,396 --> 02:57:20,523
He will not be forgotten.
