If Peter is in Jerusalem,
I will find him.

He knows who I am.

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

Who did you see?

I saw Jesus Christ,
the Son of God.

Show me how to kill.

Take back those words Caligula,

before I open your throat.

Do it.

Were you looking forward
to your new position in Rome?

Kneel!! In the presence
of your new emperor!!

Saul has become
a follower of Jesus.

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

That is exactly
what we have to do.

He's gonna
get us all killed!

Saul of Tarsus!
We know you're hiding!

Blasphemer!

Saul!

Saul of Tarsus!

Find the blasphemer!

Aah!

There are men at every gate,
everybody's armed,

and they're screaming your name.

Barnabas, that was incredible.

You turned the synagogue
into a riot.

Everybody needs to hear
the gospel of Christ.

Everybody.

This way.

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

Shut the city gates!

Come on.

This is gonna be exciting, eh?

What?

Going back to Jerusalem,
seeing Peter.

I'm sure they can hardly wait.

Come on.

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

He just went mad.

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

This isn't madness.
This is betrayal.

Did he seem genuine?
What does it matter?

He's insulted you.

His conviction
seemed sincere, yes.

Find him,

shame him,

and kill him.

Why aren't you kneeling?

She's pretty.

Sorry?

Your wife.

Thank you.

Are you loyal to your emperor?

Of course.

How loyal?

My husband and I...

Not him.

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

How would you
show your devotion to me?

I...

I...

Aurelius!

Yes, dear emperor?

She doesn't like me.

My wife and I devo...

No.
She doesn't.

It's obvious.

You like me?

I worship you.

Worship.

I like that.

Even though you were heard
talking about me?

No.

What were the words?

I believe he said
you were insane.

I would never say...

Aurelius, you were
my Uncle's trusted adviser.

Yes, and I would never say s...

Did he talk about me, too?

Did you laugh at me together?

These are malicious rumors.

Uh...
Are you loyal?

Absolutely.

Do you love me?

I do.

As much as you loved my Uncle?

Of course.

But you swore eternal devotion
to him.

You offered up your life.

I did.
A-and I do the same to you.

Your life?

Yes.

Then show me your sword.

Your life.

For Rome.

For my emperor.

May the gods smile
on my actions.

I am bored with Jerusalem.

I seem to remember an argument
between us, governor.

Stand up.

It was a simple
misunderstanding.

This is an irritating region.

The food is vile,

it's too hot,

and there is no love
for Rome or me!

You shall change that.

I thought perhaps...
A statue.

Yes.

Statues of you
across the empire,

from Gaul to Egypt.

Yes.

We shall have one
in this very room.

We will.

I also thought we will have one
in the temple.

My likeness in the temple
for all to see.

That will be a start.

Yes.

Let's go.

It's so beautiful,
isn't it?

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

Amazing how something can seem
so wondrous for so long,

and then...

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

perhaps when we're not standing
in the middle of the street

for everyone to see.

We need to say our goodbyes
to the emperor.

I'm sorry.

For what?

The way he looked at you.

Yes.

I was sent for.

I saw you when he announced it.

I saw your face.

The wine was off.

You do know what will happen
if he sends it.

Jerusalem will riot,

and my soldiers
will kill thousands.

And the statue
would desecrate the temple.

Not that you'd care.

No, but you do.

I see that.

So you could stop it.

Me?

Talk to him.
Persuade him.

I don't think so.

But he's your friend.

He's the emperor now.

All right.

I'll try.

I'll take him back to Rome,

and maybe
once he's away from here,

he'll forget all about it.

If the emperor's closest friend
is too frightened

to approach the subject...

We will find a way.

How do you control a madman?

This is not just your problem.

This is a problem for all Judea.

So?

So we share the burden.

So. Peter.

Yeah, you know,
I was thinking...

Mm-hmm.

...perhaps I should go ahead
and, uh, talk to them.

Well, what's to talk about?

We're all
brothers in Christ now.

Yeah.

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

Oh, you worry too much.

Saul.

He's here in Jerusalem.

One of the temple guards
spotted him entering the city.

Find him.

This must be the place.

Wait here.

Let me talk to them first.

And then I'll bring you up.

Right.

You tell them
everything that happened

just the way I told you, yes?

Word for word.
Good.

I'm a little bit nervous.

Wait here.

Wait.

He's a changed man.

No one can change that much.

Just meet him.
Talk with him.

No.
You're an idiot.

Don't you see what you've done?

No.

Oh, no, no.

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

Hello, brothers.

You're no brother of mine.

Are you alone?

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

Brother Simon...
Don't call me that.

Do you really believe
that he has turned to Christ?

I do.

His faith burns very brightly.

Maybe a little too brightly.

I understand your fears.

I do.

But I have been baptized
and made new again.

Oh, have you now?
Oh, Thomas.

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

You don't get to speak his name!

Simon, please.

We were getting somewhere,
building something,

and then you came along,
and you burnt it all down.

Yes.

And?

And now I turned to Christ.

Is he always like this?

Only when he's awake.

Get out.

Saul.

Peter. John.

How wonderful.

I was having trouble
making myself understood.

You've turned to Christ.

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

I know how this looks.

But I...
I can vouch for him.

I want to talk to him alone.
Just me and you.

Me and you.

We'll start
on the road to Damascus.

Why hasn't Barnabas
already to...

I want to hear it
from your mouth.

Peter, we need
to start planning...

You are going to tell me
everything from the beginning.

But I am your brother in Christ.

From the beginning.

It was like
I'd always been blind,

but now I saw
for the very first time.

You don't believe me, do you?

- You wanted me dead.
- I did.

So you'll understand my caution.

Yes.

But this is all
a bit ridiculous, surely.

I know what I've done, Peter.

But listening
to you all downstairs,

it was like you'd forgotten

that Jesus had taught you
forgiveness.

I mean, you lived with him.
You know his message.

So... so, sorry,
but I'm confused.

You're right.
I did live with him.

So don't start lecturing me.

What was he like?

He was my best friend
and my teacher

and my brother
and my Lord and master.

He was...

He is pure love.

I miss him.

I don't.

I feel him... in here.

His spirit burns within me.

We've all been visited
by the Holy Spirit.

And I feel him, too.

I just wish sometimes

that things
were a little clearer.

It's all perfectly clear to me.

Really?

Yes.

I am a student of Gamaliel.

I am a pharisaic scholar,

while you
have different talents.

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

Don't you see?

How can you have lived with him,

heard his message, touched him,

and still not see?

He was seen in the lower city.

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

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

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

I will find him.
I swear.

If the emperor is
finished, then it's time to leave!

Already?

You will find
a much higher quality in Rome.

Much more eager.

I can't wait to be home.

What about that fool, Pilate?

What did he want?
Oh, nothing.

Just more groveling.

Come on.
Your horse is waiting.

I'll race you to Joppa.

That girl
didn't like me very much.

May our emperor have a safe
and uneventful journey.

Hail, Caesar!

It's all right.
No!

It's all right, Tabitha.

It's me.
He's gone.

It's over.

It's over.

Shh.

What now?

I thought we might
finally have some peace.

Well, our emperor has departed.

But he has left a present
for Jerusalem.

In fact, it is specifically
for the high priest.

Oh?

A statue of his likeness.

Which he commands to be placed
in the temple itself.

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

A graven image
would defile the temple

and break one of our most
sacred commandments.

He...
He cannot do this.

And yet he does.

The book of Daniel
foretells a moment such as this,

and it promises
death and destruction.

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

Well, you have the blood of
thousands on your hands, Pilate.

What's a few thousand more?

Not if you control your people,
which is why

you will stay with me
here as a guest...

To remind them
of the strong bond

between the Herod
and his Roman allies.

This is not about
political maneuvering.

This is about
the destruction of the temple!

Will you keep your voice down?

The one thing
I'm sure we can agree upon

is that this cannot become
public knowledge.

If the zealots heard about this,

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

Governor,
we've always worked together

to find a common ground.

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

What do you do?

Has it been so long
since you came to me

and told me
that we stand and fall together?

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

to ensure peace in this region?

Caiaphas, this is
the emperor's wish.

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

Deal with it.

There has to be
a different way

to approach this.

If we work together
to keep the region stable

and calm
and... Invisible, almost,

then I think the emperor

may well be distracted
by other things.

That should be easy.

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

That's not enough.

You need blood.

It's not enough
to be quiet and stable.

Although, it might help.

Your Caligula
has a taste for blood.

So we find someone,
destroy them very publicly,

and let him know all about it.

It will seem as if
the whole of Judea is united

and accepts Rome as its master.

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

And who is this scapegoat?

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

Who is he?

He was a good man.

But he was corrupted
by the Nazarenes,

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

A danger?

From what I understand, the
Nazarene faith is a peaceful one.

They claim Jesus is king,
not your emperor...

That he is the Messiah,
a God, not your Caligula.

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

When you consider
all the trouble caused

by the needless
execution of Jesus...

Not needless.
Not needless at all.

I thought we were here
to discuss

the destruction of the city
that you claim to love so well

and the massacre of your people.

And this is all you can offer?

Please, tell me...
What will you do?

No, my dear...

Wife of the governor
and depressor of our nation.

The questions is,
what will you do?

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

Barnabas had told me
so much about you.

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

But I thought...
I genuinely thought

that when I saw you,
you more than anyone...

I thought
it would be incredible.

But you just sit there
and judge me.

Why do you think he chose you?

Because nobody could have
stopped me from getting to you

except him.

Let's go out.

Let's preach his message.

Now we can go out.

Because of you,
we've been hiding!

Will you never let this go?!

Do none of you practice
what you preach?

It's not that easy!
Isn't it?!

You all bicker and prattle
like children

when inside each of you
is the greatest gift!

And you have to
share that with mankind!

You have to!
And I have to, too!

You went after my daughter!

Yes, I did.

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

Jesus should have
struck me down, but he didn't.

He forgave me.

And I must beg you
for your forgiveness, too.

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

You know, when Ananias
came to my house,

he told me
that Jesus had sent him.

He told Ananias
that I will suffer...

That I will suffer for his name.

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

but I am scared...

I am so scared that the pain
I feel right now

is nothing compared to
what will come.

It would be easier to run,
but I can't.

Now... Can we begin?

I'm looking for someone.

Saul of Tarsus.

Old town.

Well, we can't go.

We can't go anywhere.

We are prisoners
in my own father's palace.

So we stay.

And do what?

When that statue arrives,
there will be carnage.

We'll be ripped to pieces

because of our association
with Rome.

So we must prepare.

Prepare?

What are you talking about?

A statue of the Roman emperor

will be placed
in my father's temple,

and it will be defiled.

Yes, and Jerusalem will rise up,
and there will be war.

Exactly.

So we need to be
back in Galilee.

Far away.

No.

Don't you see?

There is no way
that Pilate can survive this.

When the statue comes,
you, the Herod of Galilee,

must be here,
ready to take his place,

reclaim
what it rightfully yours,

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

Who's there?

Why is Peter
even talking to Saul?

Barnabas has vouched for him.

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

Doesn't feel right.

I don't know.

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

The high priest wishes
to speak with Saul of Tarsus.

Now, I believe that he
is hiding here amongst you

in this neighborhood.

If anyone knows
where this man is,

then they would do well
to tell me now.

Mary?

I need...

I need to see Peter now.

I-I have to go now.

Can you... I was supposed to
deliver fresh linen.

I'll do that.
It's fine.

What is it?
Are they in danger?

Yes.

No.

I-I-i don't...
We all are.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Oh, wait.

Here.

For the cause.
Joanna...

Please.

I want to help.

Thank you.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

As soon as...

Was that...?

Joanna, did I just see
that woman take money?

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

Who is it for?

The apostles.
To help them spread the word.

The word...

Of Jesus?

After everything's
that's happened?

Yes.

After you called me insane.

And saved your life.

It is my faith, Chuza.

My love... I despair.

Before Jesus, you were quiet
and good and like all the rest.

But now...

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

I cannot be silent.

Do you always talk
to your husband like that?

Of course.

Who told you
you could speak that way?

Jesus gave me the strength.

Who is Jesus?

Tell me about him.

How do we stop it?

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

Us against the Roman army?

It's our temple.

All I'm saying is
I'm not sure if we can,

even if we wanted to.

Maybe we shouldn't try.
What?

The book of Daniel...

John. The book of Daniel
foretells this moment.

"At the temple,
he will set up an abomination

that will cause
desolation."

That's right.

"The ruler who will come

will destroy the city
and the sanctuary."

So?

"The end will come like a flood.

War will continue
to the end."

Exactly.
Eternal war.

Jesus warned us.

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

"Until the end."
This could be the end.

Are you saying... I don't
know, but he did tell us.

Yes, when the abomination stands

where it does not belong,
then...

Then Jesus will return.

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

Let the world see what happens

when you betray the high priest.

- Maybe.
- Maybe?

That man is laughing at you.

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

Oh, so you have
a better plan, clearly.

He's a scholar.
A student of Gamaliel's.

And, more importantly,
a Jewish brother.

We could have him stoned,
as you suggest.

But how much better
if we were to win him back

and thereby prove
the power of God?

You're just going to
talk to him.

I'm gonna show the world
the true power of the temple.

Caiaphas.

We've condemned and blamed

and bludgeoned our opinion
on others for too long.

It isn't working.

Rome has no such qualms
about showing its strength.

"Do not seek revenge
or bear a grudge,

but love your neighbor
as yourself."

Well, perhaps you should send the
book of Leviticus to the emperor

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

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

Till then,
there's nothing more to discuss.

A statue in the temple...
Jesus warned us of this.

We need a plan.

We need to do...
Something.

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

How's Saul?

He's...

Irritating?
Vain? Arrogant?

He encouraged the crowd
to stone Stephen.

He came after my daughter.

He dragged men across the desert
to kill me.

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

But still, it shouldn't matter.

You believe him?

You know the temple guards
are hunting for him.

That's proof in itself.

Why didn't you welcome him in?

You told me
Jesus washed your feet once,

how he upturned
the order of everything.

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

No one could be turned away.

Oh, Barnabas.

He's not the arrogant one.
I am.

No.

Why him?

Open up!

Open the door!

Open up!

Open up, I say!

We're
looking for Saul of Tarsus!

Open the door!

Open up!

Open up!
Open the door!

Open the door!

How bad will it be?

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

Limit it?
Yes.

To what?
We should assume

there'll be
a full-scale rebellion.

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

What does that mean?

Hundreds? Thousands?

I fear that won't be
the end of it. No.

I imagine there will be several
attempts to destroy the statue.

This will last several weeks,
maybe months,

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

Why should they accept it?

Claudia.
No!

We have to stop it coming.

How?

We think. We plan.

You're the governor of Judea.

It can't be stopped.

We can only plan
for its arrival.

I know.
I feel the same.

But that's all we can do.

We must reinforce the Garrison.

I can't believe you.

This could be
the end of the temple.

How can you stand by and...

How can you not want
Jesus to return?

I do.
Of course I do.

But you can't be sure of that.

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

Neither of you?!

Simon.

Well, now.
Some good news.

We welcome Saul...
As our brother in Christ.

There is so much
I need to ask you.

Because,
listening to Peter upstairs,

I'm worried
you're not fully engaged

in Jesus' message.

You've all lost your minds.

All of you.

This is my fault.
No, Saul.

I have to make it right.

The temple guards, Saul.
I don't care.

I'll go.

It's better that it's me.

Simon!

Simon!

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

Open up!

Saul!

Saul of Tarsus!

Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

I knew I'd catch you.

You and your stupid loud mouth.

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

More?
Mm.

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

then this is the place to come.

Enemies of Rome?

I have information,

and it is vital
I get it to them.

The city will be destroyed
otherwise.

Hear me, Mars.

Please halt your lust for war
in this place.

And hear me, Vesta.

Please protect
this household from harm.

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

Stay.

Please.

Did you plan well
with my husband?

Will the city be crushed?

I have my orders.

Oh, I forgot.

You're just a soldier.

I am.

How easy your life must be.

Is there anything else?

No. Go away.

Wait.

I'm afraid.

How do you prepare yourself
for something like this?

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

No.

I'll be called to Rome
before then.

The emperor
has fixed his eye on me,

and he will use me
to punish Pilate.

What will you do then?

I would...

I would not let that happen.

And if it were
expressly ordered?

Would you defend me?

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

You men.

How easily you destroy things.

I'm just...
I know.

I know.

Just go.

Yeah, very well.

Take him upstairs.

This is the first step.

You can get up and leave now
if you want.

You'll never see me again,

and we'll let you live in peace.

I need to talk to your leader.

The future of the temple
depends on it.

I know Boaz is dead.

Boaz was never our leader.

The second step
takes you across the threshold.

There's no return
after that, Simon.

You know me?

We know what you are.

And we accept your beliefs.

We will protect you,
and you will protect us

if you take the second step.

All right.

Yes.

So... Talk.

Give us this day
our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
