Is there anything so sad
as unrequited love?

My quarters.

165
00:25:23,272 --> 00:25:25,441
Hmm. A bit grim.

166
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:27,109
Not grim.

167
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,903
Austere. Virtuous.

Roman.

169
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:40,456
I'm going to be second-in-command
to the new governor, Valerius Gratus.

170
00:25:40,873 --> 00:25:43,000
He's arriving in a few days
with two more legions.

Then the rumors are true.

172
00:25:51,008 --> 00:25:53,469
The emperor does not approve
of your countrymen.

173
00:25:54,178 --> 00:25:57,639
There is rebellion in the wind.
It will be crushed.

174
00:26:02,811 --> 00:26:05,189
But you and your family
need have no concern.

175
00:26:05,481 --> 00:26:08,192
I'm next in authority to the governor,
and you're my friend.

176
00:26:08,442 --> 00:26:11,445
- I'm a Jew.
- Ah, you are like a Roman!

177
00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:13,947
What have you in common
with the troublemaking rabble?

178
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:16,992
Rabble? They're my people.
I'm one of them.

179
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:18,702
Be wise, Judah.

180
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:22,998
It's a Roman world. If you want to
live in it, you must become part of it.

181
00:26:23,999 --> 00:26:25,042
You've changed.

182
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:28,796
I've grown up. I've seen the world
since I left Jerusalem.

183
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:32,966
I've seen Rome. It's no accident
that one small village on the Tiber...

184
00:26:32,966 --> 00:26:34,676
...was chosen to rule the world.

185

Your legions.

186
00:26:38,222 --> 00:26:40,641
It wasn't just our legions.

187
00:26:41,517 --> 00:26:45,354
Other countries have armies,
fine armies. I know, I fought them.

188

Oh, no.

189
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:52,027
No, it was fate that chose us
to civilize the world. And we have.

Our roads and ships connect
every corner of the earth.

Roman law, architecture, literature

How?

195
00:27:09,211 --> 00:27:10,504
You're an aristocrat.

196
00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:14,049
Your family's name is honored.
You're a prince among your people.

You're rich and powerful.
Your reputation is stainless.

They'd listen if you
spoke out against rebellion.

199

Persuade your people that
their resistance to Rome is stupid.

200
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:25,727
It is worse than stupid, futile!

201
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:29,481
For it can end in only one way,
extinction for your people!

202

I'm against violence.
Everyone knows this.

I shall do so again.

- We had hoped tomorrow.
- Good.

And now for our toast.

208
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:00,429
It's dreadful wine, by the way.

209
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:03,557
It's especially fermented
for the Roman army.

But in it there is one sanity:

The court where we played
at changing the guard.

220

The roof where we'd throw pebbles
at people in the street and then hide.

- We were rascals, weren't we?
- No, you were good boys.

Except for the fountain.

- Promptly, every summer.

...think about what I said?

255
00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:27,844
Yes. Talked to a number
of people already.

256

Spoken against violence,
against incidents.

257

Most of the men agree with me.

- No, not all.
- Who does not agree?

Well, the resentful, the impatient.

Yes, Judah. Who are they?

Would I retain your friendship
if I became an informer?

264

Telling the names of criminals
is not informing.

I can have any post I want.

You'll rise with me, I promise.
And do you know where it can end?

00:32:34,077 --> 00:32:37,080
Rome! Yes, perhaps at the side
of Caesar himself.

274
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:40,041
I mean it. It can happen
and this is the moment.

275
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:42,002
I swear, this is the time.

276
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:46,047
The emperor is watching us, judging
us. All I need do is serve him.

And all you need do
is help me serve him.

278
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,557
- You speak as if he were God.
- He is God. The only God.

279

He is power,
real power on earth, not...

Not that.

00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:06,735
Help me, Judah.

282
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,907
I would do anything
for you, Messala...

283

...except betray my own people.

284
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:20,248
In the name of all the gods, what do
the lives of a few Jews mean to you?

285
00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:27,923
If I cannot persuade them, that does
not mean I would help you murder them.

286
00:33:29,925 --> 00:33:33,637
Besides, you must
understand this, Messala.

287
00:33:33,887 --> 00:33:36,598
I believe in the past
and future of my people.

288
00:33:36,765 --> 00:33:39,434
Future? You are a conquered people.

289
00:33:41,478 --> 00:33:45,232
You may conquer the land.
You may slaughter the people.

290
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,609
But that is not the end.
We will rise again.

291
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:52,072
You live on dead dreams.
You live on the myths of the past.

292
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,616
Solomon's glory is gone.
You think it will return?

293
00:33:54,908 --> 00:33:57,786
Joshua will not rise again
to save you nor David.

294
00:33:58,078 --> 00:34:01,957
There is only one reality in
the world today. Look to the West.

295
00:34:02,165 --> 00:34:03,583
Don't be a fool! Look to Rome!

296
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:05,794
Better a fool
than a traitor or a killer.

297
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:08,797
- I am a soldier.
- Who kills for Rome and Rome is evil.

298
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,967
- I warn you...
- No! I warn you.

299
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:13,969
Rome is an affront to God.

300
00:34:14,135 --> 00:34:17,514
Rome is strangling my people
and my country, the whole earth!

301
00:34:17,806 --> 00:34:19,182
But not forever.

302
00:34:19,432 --> 00:34:23,144
And I tell you, the day Rome falls
there will be a shout of freedom...

303
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:26,147
...such as the world
has never heard before.

304
00:34:32,487 --> 00:34:33,947
Judah.

305
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:39,119
Either you help me or you oppose me.
You have no other choice.

306
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:42,455
You're either for me or against me.

307
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,171
If that is the choice...

308
00:34:51,464 --> 00:34:53,508
...then I am against you.

309
00:35:21,202 --> 00:35:22,579
There they are.

310
00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:25,749
Where's Messala?

311
00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:29,377
- Where's...?
- He's gone.

312

Gone?

313

- But why?
- He couldn't stay.

314
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:38,053
- What happened?
- A new tribune must have many duties.

315
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:41,056
Come. Let us have dinner.

316
00:35:55,278 --> 00:35:58,239
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, our God,
King of the world...

317
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:00,909
...who bringeth to us
bread from the earth.

318

He saw the sun set this evening,
as we did.

Perhaps he's standing in a doorway
somewhere or on a hilltop.

...with every stroke of that oar
you chained me to.

I am not the governor of Judea.

I will come back tomorrow.

Don't disappoint me, Messala.

1122
02:09:39,772 --> 02:09:41,440
What became of them?

1123

It's been almost five years.
Do you suppose they're still alive?
