[Music]

go and write down the things which i

told you earlier i will come back at

dawn

and so to myself i thought that a great

prophet

with such a unique personality as this

would definitely have to come from a

very noble family life

what i mean by noble is for him to

almost definitely have the pious lineage

of the prophets

not the lineage of the kings so the

messiah must be a descendant of the

jewish prophets

you see this is what it means

well this is the first time i'm hearing

such a thing about the messiah i must

tell you

why should the future messenger come

from the previous prophets though

the reason is that the prophets act as

god's mediators to bestow god's

blessings on earth

this means that they all form one long

chain that goes back to the origin of

all things

he will mark a turning point for the

universe as you must

know it is the word of god's final

messenger that we are

all waiting for and as the last prophet

on earth he will be the most

important so you're telling me that this

messiah is a descendant of the prophet

david

[Laughter]

do you see how simple it is we should

have just gone straight to david's house

instead of trying to work it out

all of these terribly tiresome and

complicated calculations right

[Laughter]

this is something i'm afraid most people

have

failed to realize are there many people

of david's descendant here in judea

no there aren't many well is there

perhaps a pregnant woman among them

i don't know how should i know about

that well then my friend have you

heard of any woman living in jerusalem

who may possess

the noble characteristics of a prophet's

mother

is there a woman living there who is

unique among the other women

a woman who is quite different from the

women around her in any way

or a woman from whom the people have

seen miracles

or who the people believe possess powers

it's getting late we're all tired

we better get some rest now you know

who she is then

no i know nothing of such a person

[Music]

you'll not only know who she is but

you're also concerned for her well-being

you're worried that she might be found

out am i right

how do you why do you say such a thing

your face fred

love for someone else lights up a

person's face like

nothing else can do

i am a roman i worship my own gods

i don't understand your monotheistic

beliefs i must leave now sir

come and sit a while longer pericles

please come sit down

have a seat

[Music]

i had a strange dream last night

there was a man dressed head to foot

like a king

and the groud under this king as he

walked was the deep dark color of

crimson

it was symbolic of the blood of the

innocent people

who had been slain by that great

king

i may not receive any direct orders from

herod but

i consider him the lawful king and

commander of the land of judea

my friend pericles we are simply persian

scientists

we're not concerned about politics

not in this foreign land these things

are none of our concern

and frankly not our business so don't

worry about that

but if we simply discuss our dreams none

of us will be held accountable

for anything we say so what do you say

pericles

if we discuss our dreams i see no

problem

well this king in my dream then seemed

to be pretending

that he was waiting to see the sun

but as soon as he set eyes on it he

pulled out his bow and arrow

and directed his aim at that sun

the king's agents of the bow and the

arrow in the king's hands

hmm that's too bad

i don't want to be used as a tool by a

king who targets the sun

we must stop our search and return home

at once

it really is such a shame that we

must stop when we've come so far

yes but even though we've come

a long way it is better this way

my only wish was to see him just once

oh what a pity

[Music]

we should all return to jerusalem

together what a shame

we have lost a great opportunity here

we shall tell herod that we didn't find

the christ it is the truth and

everything will then be finished your

people the romans believe in the gods of

olympus

is that right i used to not believe in

anything

but i am a roman and a follower of our

beliefs and our gods

so why do you do this

[Music]

i'm indebted to them because they did me

and my wife a great service

my daughter was ill very strange isn't

it

that a roman officer and three persian

foreigners

are the ones who adore this mother and

child more it seems than anyone else

in the entire world we earn to see them

while their own people

have abandoned them

forgotten them and are oblivious to

their very existence

very strange

[Music]

quite a lot of people have been

following this comet issachara nathan

do you think it may be related to mary's

disappearance the persian scientists say

this star is

the star of the coming messiah

for some reason i have a feeling of

dread

[Music]

um

oh my sweet pure and holy mary

dear god please have mercy on your most

humble servant

[Music]

where did you hide her don't you think

he was going too far by claiming to be a

prophet

hearing the voice of jehovah you might

as well just tell us what new scandal

has forced you to hide her this time

what's happened to mary why is she ill

why was she holding her stomach

when she left the temple can you explain

it why are joseph and zechariah

searching everywhere for her

tell us elizabeth why why is she in pain

and why has there been no news of her

where is mary now

mary's gone on a journey if you must

know

a journey what's her destination

where is she gone in secret where

mary left because she was tired and sick

of people like you

what do you people want from us

why do you keep tormenting us

just how long do you and your lying

husband think you can keep hiding that

little witch elizabeth

we will eventually find her and then we

will reveal the sin she's trying to hide

from everyone

what are you talking about what's in

what are they trying to find

dear god have mercy

innocent girl

deafening sound

afrinem make sure he doesn't speak about

this event

anywhere else it's very strange

first there was the comet burning

brightly in the sky

soon as possible

i don't exactly know what i just know

that the universe is in disarray

this extraordinary phenomenon has made

the whole world tremble

i don't know much more than this

joseph be prepared as soon as we find

mary you must take her to a far away

place

i'm ready what about you what will you

do zechariah

i'll remain here either in jerusalem or

in galilee

i might be able to distract our foes by

letting them direct their anger towards

me

that way they will be able to harm you

leave you alone

you must think of your son john god has

planned an important future for him

deception

innocents

we see here

mary holding a baby in her arms the

result of her sin

woe to the jews

shame on you mary

what's going on where were you mary

the daughter of prophet imran

but he wasn't a bad man nor was your

mother a prostitute

so then what is this disgrace we must

burn this evil sinner

this is the punishment given to these

sinful daughters who've despicably

defiled the temple

or the evil sinner

speak defend yourself speak you say

but she's conveniently chosen to fast in

silence

if anyone else were in her place they'd

do the same don't worry mary

i will be all right that's enough

zachariah you've set it up

what will they do with that sweet

innocent girl if you had stopped her in

the first place

but deceiving the people with her evil

sorceress magic

making such

baseless accusations against the purest

lady who ever lived
