Mary Magdalene

Mary! Look at dirty again!

Let your workers to do it for you!

What's the difference, Joanna? Look at this, it's oil.

Mother! What happened?

Son, you're better than that! Where you've put your hands?

That Mary always does it!

I know ... but Mary knows what's she's doing.

It's just a little cut.

It's alright.

Amos!

Amos!

Amos!

Get out of my sight!

Amos, where are you going? Wait!

Why're you treating me so badly? What I've done? Tell me!

All right.

If you must know ... I divorce you.

Why?

Come on Mary, you're a stubborn, insolent, a dirty peasant.

I am a simple woman, but I love you.

That's not enough. I want children, I want an heir.

You're as bearer as the desert sand!

It will come, with the Lord's blessing.

Your womb is cursed. You heal others. Heal yourself!

Witch! You're possessed with demons!

Not fit to stay in my house.

This is my house. Matellus was my father's land.

Remember the promises as you made him.

He was dying. How could he know he was selling me rotting goods.

You can't mean that ...

The scriber will be here to prepare the rite.

Pack your things, and prepare to leave!

You won't throw me out that easily.

I was born here. This land was my dowry.

Paid to me with a marriage contract.

It's mine! I've made it bloom.

And now it's mine. Magdala will soon have a new mistress.

Now I understand. He robs me of my home to remarry!

I need a son. What honest wife doesn't desire an heir for her husband?

If I must leave my house, where do I go?

I pitty this woman. I should not abandon her.

The deeds, to my farmer, Telazor,

as long as you stay there, living modestly, and chastely, you'll receive his rents and dues.

Your birth place.

A pig stable for mine!

Ungrateful. You're ungrateful.

The rite will be served tomorrow.

You will regret this, how ever long it takes.

You'll see Mary, you'll make a new life for yourself in Telazor.

What life!? Here I was the mistress of the house.

Down there I will be less than a servant!

But you are still the same woman.

You still know how to take care of the land. And you can heal people.

You know how to make that desert bloom like a garden.

And it'll become your home.

Mother!

Silvanus! Mary!

Magdala's is beautiful as ever.

We're long march ahead with no provisions,

So we've to swallow Amos' prices.

Help yourself. You can have it.

Free?

For the night your soldiers can stay by the river. I'll have a bed prepared for you.

Since when you've been so welcome into Romans?

These are my last orders as mistress of the house.

I'm leaving Magdala. Amos has divorced me.

Impossible! Why?

Welcome Silvanus. Amos.

A business call? Yes.

The usual terms.

We're staying. Set up camp.

Move on. Hurry up!

Mary, what's crossed your mind? He'll do. He's looked at me once or twice.

Lord forbid!

The Lord? And where is He in all of this?

No, Mary. Don't blaspheme. Please don't throw your life away.

Trust in the Lord.

I want revenge.

Mary.

The law is on his side. Our law.

It's barbaric.

In Rome, we have marriage contracts. Women have property rights.

But Rome never comes between a man and his wife. It doesn't have to.

Why shouldn't Roman law apply? Could I appeal to the Emperor?

Are you a Roman citizen?

Well that's a shame.

I've served my time here. I'm going back to Rome.

I was hoping that ...

What were you hoping?

That you'd help me and ...

And let you get your revenge.

You're a clever woman. I wanted you since the first time I saw you.

Mary, here's the divorce scroll.

Too late. I'm leaving you.

That's what you wanted, isn't it?

I wouldn't friend. They'll make a mess on you.

What is it Amos? You're afraid?

Joanna!

I hate the see you falled so low.

Why? Just because I found a man who wants me?

Goodbye, Samil. Take care of yourself.

Out! Out of my sight, whore, whore!

Keep your tongue, Amos! Or I will tear it out!

Forward, march! Let's go.

Silvanus, the Jordan! This isn't the way to Rome.

Last tour of duty, I'm sure you don't mind.

What are they looking for? Where're they going?

That's what we're going to find out.

Why do we have it. Do you know him?

No, but I heard about him.

What is he doing? He's preaching.

He's a rebel.

No, He's telling them to search their souls.

Who? Those peasants?

Go home! Change your ways!

Get down.

and be baptized! glory the Messiah!

What else is he doing now? He's baptizing them.

What do you know about these things, Mary?

I'm a Jew too.

Then you'll help me.

Silvanus, Prefect of Rome, wants to talk to you.

He sent you to me? Yes.

But I came because I wanted to.

Because you're in danger. Why?

The Romans fear a revolt. They don't know that you're only a preacher.

And you've come to save me?

Just tell me what I must answer them, and they will leave you alone.

I can tell you that you are not happy with him. That's not what they want to hear.

But it is what you want to hear.

I did not choose this life.

My name is John, son of Zechariah. Why do not you stay here and pray with us?

Thank you. I've different plans. With the Roman?

He's rich and powerful.

Many of the people you see here, had wealth once. But they're looking for something more.

Here they found it. Stay with us.

If you like.

I have what I want.

Well? A zealot? No, he's a talker.

Fomenting revolt, is giving them ideas.

He's a mystic. Harden, but harmless.

Then why does he draws such crowds?

Who? The cripple, the blind, the sick.

All hoping for a miracle.

I'll tell you what he is ... a charlatan! No ...!

He just happens to believe in what he preaches.

Don't you ever lie to me, Mary. Ever. Remember that.

Marcelus, put me some more wine. - Not too much.

What's wrong with you? Nothing.

Are you pregnant? I think so.

I thought you're barren, or was it just a lie, to trap me!

No, I thought so, too!

I suffered for years, thinking, I'd never be a mother.

That's the reason, why Amos divorced me.

Then come back to him with his child!

No, it's yours. How can you tell?

What kind of a fool you take me for.

But I don't really care what you're going to do with your bastard. We're going! Let's go.

Tiberius. Herod Antipas' new city's named after our emperor.

Why you don't cheer up, or I shall send you back to Magdala.

Noble Vitalius, our faithful ally, and friend of our emperor.

Allow me to convey the heartfelt esteem, to tell you of, the great favor he's showed me ...

by the grace of the emperor Tiberius, my new queen.

A shame she's his brother's wife.

Who's that?

That my dear, is his present wife: Princess of Nabathea.

An audience! The ambassador of Nabathea, demands an audience.

Declares it's an outrage, to his daughter, your wife.

He's divorcing a princess? Why not?

Wife? What wife?

The daughter of king Arethas, Lord of Nabathea, your allies.

I've forgotten.

My master, King Arethas, will hear of this.

And ... may took him!

Poor woman. She too is nothing but a possession!

Come down!

Silvanus! Don't move. The general has seen us.

Wait here! And don't call any trouble.

I am not your slave, Silvanus.

Who is she?

She's only a Jewish whore.

When the ceremony is over, you will give me an explanation.

What's wrong? Go away! I'm not well.

If you want, I can give you a herb tea, for the pain.

Give me something, so I never have this again!

It's painful, I know, but soon you'll get used to it.

You will fall in love, you'll have a husband, and children then.

I don't want to. Why?

I don't want to become like her!

Is she your mother? - Yes, but hate her!

I don't want to be here! I want my real father!

My name is Salome. Who are you?

Mary!

I told you! Witch! "Only a mystic is he"! Harmless?!

So why's Harod Antipas thinking he's dangerous!

You're lying to me, don't you! Protecting him.

And now they're questioning me, and want to know, why I'm on duty with a Jewish whore!

You thought I was your free passage to Rome, didn't you?

You don't know what your place is, woman! That's your trouble!

I'll show you where you place is.

I'm done. She's yours.

Help me! Hurry!

What is it? She's ill.

Help me.

You can stay here. You need to rest now.

The baby ... my baby. You've lost him.

But life goes on. You'll have others.

A good catch, master. You chose the right side.

What's this? - A woman! She's drown!

Master, she's still alive.

"Ashna", "Ashna"! We won't hurt you!

She's possessed! There're demons in her.

Can you help her master? Can you cast them out?

Leave her be. Please, let her be, please ...

Don't be afraid. We're here to help you.

You heard the commandment: Don't commit adultery!

But I say: a man who lust for another woman, has already committed adultery in his heart.

It's been said: whoever wishes to part with his wife, must serve her with a divorce rite.

But I say: a man who divorces his wife, forces her to commit adultery.

It's been said: love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.

But I say: love your enemies, and pray for those who hurt you.

For if you love only those who love you, what is your reward.

Make way!

Master, come quickly! My daughter is dying, please!

Please, my mistress is asking for you. Please come!

You believe him? Yes.

All men lie. What makes him different?

You saved your life.

What do you want from me? Come.

You're the woman the Nazareene saved? Yes.

What's your name? Mary.

Why did he saved you? I don't know.

Can he really heal the sick without medicines? Answer me! Don't be afraid.

Your slave think so. Ah, she's a simple creature.

Superstition is her daily bread.

And what about you? Isn't that why you came here, to see him?

Could you cure this?

I sent my servant after him, but he didn't come.

He cures the poor it seems. A queen is beyond his powers.

What is it? Leprosy?

No. What then?

I must heal before Herod notices.

The king's never seen this? In the darkness, men see what they wish to see.

And women must always deceive, there's no other way.

Would you, cure me?

If you trust me.

If you succeed in healing me, I give you all the riches and power a woman can desire.

Prophets, medical men, don't mix with them.

The Nazarene claims, to be of the House of David!

And raises the death! - Raises the death?

It's ridiculous. A rabbi's daughter.

Then arrest him, milord. Silence him.

If it only were that easy, in this land of believers, then I ...

Then what?

Tell me, my love. Tell me your thoughts, your desires ....

Oh, a newcomer? I'm feeling better.

Who is this? She's my sibyl, Salome's tutor.

Such gentle fingers. Where you ever in love?

In another life.

Married? Once.

But you lost him. He'll pay for it, one day.

Oh, you hate men so much?

You're not ugly,

Not old ...

Well! Do your work with her!

Come here.

Let me have a closer look.

Pretend I'm a man.

No. That's completely wrong.

You must never give in too easily. It's fatal.

And now I say:

You're so beautiful, Mary.

But you know you're beautiful, don't you? So, you turn away. Walk.

No. A woman never runs. She glides.

That's better. Don't look back.

That only gives you away.

A man, must always think he's the one making the first move.

You see? Now, I'm following you.

Your husband, Herod Antipas, is coming. Quick!

He's got the Roman with him. Vitalius? Why?

Noble Vitalius, please.

The general has come to take his leave.

War against Pathiei, Rome's eternal enemy, has broken out again.

My compliments, noble lady.

I pitty your enemies, general. They've been beaten from the start.

It is not so simple. Have you heard the latest news?

What news?

Pamaretus, king of the Nabatheans, to the emperor Tiberius ...

He demands redress for the affront of his daughter, or, he will go to war.

A few barbarian nomads. How could they hope to obtain victory against Rome?

Most noble lady, if the Nabatheans ally with the Partians, the situation will become difficult for all of us.

Let's send the general off, with something more cheerful.

Salome, would you dance for us? No!

No?

Forgive her, General. The girl isn't well.

And who are you? Her duty is to protect Salome.

A duty she does well.

Then the dancing must wait my return. Yes.

How dare you, slave!

Dance when you're told to! But I didn't want to dance!

She lied! And just as well that she lied!

Well, my sybil... maybe you talk too much, but you know how to please.

That's what you taught me. In me, he sees you, Vitalius.

Then Herod shall obligue.

Come.

You see? A keep it for special guests.

I was rich once. You were?

And you shall be again.

Love is power, Mary. You must learn to use it.

Let men love you, but never, never love them. That's the first rule.

But ... - But what?

Love is a luxury. It's denied to women.

But, powerful men despise women who are too plain and simple, my dear.

You need a servant now.

I'll give you my best. Suzanne.

Vitalius, is the greatest man in the entire province.

Win him to me, and you name your price.

You don't have to do this. I know what I'm doing.

I'm not made to serve. My father was a prince.

Oh, and mine was king. But now I am a slave.

I was not easy for me at first.

But then, I met the Master, and He set me free.

You can choose too. Choose wisely.

It's John. They've arrested him.

John! Wait!

Have you found what you were seeking?

I have a new life here. Honor, respect ...

Is that what you wanted?

Mary, Mary! Is it, really you?

What are you doing here? Your husband ...

I have no husband!

Amos, supplies Herod Antipas from the stores at Magdala.

Magdala ... I've forgotten the sound of that name.

We miss you, especially Samuel.

Has Amos taken a new wife? - Yes.

Does he have children? - No. But you should stop thinking about that.

You've done well here, Mary. Look at you. Are you happy with your life now?

Yes, I am happy with this life, but the Mary you knew, is dead.

If only the past would really die. - I can't bear to see your destroy like this, Mary.

Believe me. The Lord can comfort you.

All I can do is to accept my damnation, and get used to it.

Mary. Mary!

You promised you'd cure me, right?

So, how much longer?

Not long now. Trust me.

Be careful, Mary! Or you will be sorry! As the only reason you're here! Don't forget it.

Have you ever really cured someone? Yes.

And what about me, then?! How much longer must I hide?

Why must you hide? Your husband loves you.

Ah... loves me ...

A man who doesn't know how to govern, too weak to fight, too stubborn to obey ...

No, no. He will divorce me.

He's playing some game behind my back, calling Vitalius from the war.

He's holding a bank within his honor, why?

No, no. He will divorce me. I can feel it!

He'll have his former wife back, to save his neck.

The Nabatheans want revenge.

But Rome and Vitalius are on our side.

Rome is a whore. She beds with the highest bidder.

Save me, Mary. Save me. Help me!

I don't want to lose, what I've conquered.

Why must we wait? Where's the king?

It seems I no longer interested you, Vitalius. What's wrong? Have I lost all my charms?

Forgive me, my lady. My men are still in the battlefield, which Harod Antipas forced me to abandon!

But this is a feast, General.

Mary.

Take care of our General.

I'd like to know how, you intend to take care of me.

It depends, General.

I want you.

Tonight.

Taking the body of a woman is not a difficult task. Anyone can do that.

And what is, a difficult task?

Taking her thoughts, her heart ...

Hmm, a most enticing challenge.

We welcome you, Lucius Vitalius, offspring of the goddess Vitalia.

And we welcome to our feast the second guest of honor, who has come from Babylon.

The Ambassador, of Parthia.

Embrace each other. Enemies, no more.

Peace!

Poor Nabatheans. Herod Antipas that old fox. Pinch the potential ally right from under their noses.

So you don't have rebels, here in Galilee? Those are false rumors, Vitalius.

Then it's not true, that you have an agitator in your prisons? He's only a charlatan.

I, would like to be the judge of that, or are you keeping secrets from Rome?

Surely not. And we can use some amusement.

A toast. Let's drink to the gods of peace.

It was a farce. Herod made a fool of me.

He made me believe we're at war with the Partians, only to prove to Rome that he could keep peace!

Tiberius must be informed immediately.

I'll reach Rome by the fastest route. General.

We're going!

Hurry up!

You did not hear any of this.

So you're beaten by Herod. All Rome will make fun of you. Unless he never reach his destination.

What do you mean?

Someone must pay, and who'll be the one to be sacrificed?

The messenger.

John!

So my dear Vitalius, here he is. You see? He's harmless.

And this little man makes so much noise? He's only a clown. A windbag.

Let's hear him.

You're here on charges of sedition. - Treason! What do you have to say?

War.

Too late! We've just made peace.

Can you hear? The Nabatheans march on Galilee?

Who of them will be sitting at your table? The Romans, the Parthians, or even your whores?

On that day Herod, you're alone.

And all for what? For passion, that never was?

You sent away your rightful wife. You affront your neighbors.

You take your brother's wife to your bed.

But soon your land lies burned. Your people enslaved,

and yourself, in exile, with your concubine.

How dare you?

And you Herodias, for dream of kingship, you turned your child into a bastard.

Abuse motherhood!

You're completely mad. You're lying!

Repent. Be cleansed! Return to your real husband.

I forbid you to speak!

Or where will those end.

If not in the blood, of Israel.

Take me away! I've spoken.

Take him away!

Kill him!

You think you're the Messiah?

I baptize with water, for the remission of sins ...

but someone is amongst us, who is mightier than I, whose sandals, I'm not good enough, to untie.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire!

You were right, Herod. Tiberius would find it funny too.

Noble Vitalius, my name is Amos. In my city of Magdala, we're building new bars.

Would you put your names on them?

Will see. Perhaps.

Vitalius? - Yes? I'll let you know.

Magdala. You know it?

Then you decide.

Who's that? He's a traitor, and a thief.

Really? - Yes.

Rome doesn't like traitors. I'll find a way to let him know that.

Are you satisfied? You've satisfied my every desire.

I ask no more.

Do you know why fate brought me here? Because they say you're a witch.

You have the magic spells that make men fall in love.

I've demons in me, they come when I call.

And when they're gone, what's left?

I do not know. You'll have to find out.

I want to find out.

One demon ...

Two demons ...

Three demons ...

You've bewitched me.

I just one you to love me.

It's war or peace?

My master sends word: Restore his daughter to your throne, or Nabathea will bring war to Galilee.

We've done everything and more. You won't see us again.

And good ridance.

War ... Will it ever end.

If Herod does what they say ...

And if he doesn't? What will you do?

Wait ... and see who's winning. - Call my generals!

I'm at stake, may I leave ... Duty calls.

Would you come back, if I need you?

Even if it were from the very edge of the Empire.

My king. Vitalius!

What's this? Get the horses ready.

Do something!

What's happening? He's deserting us!

So you didn't succeed in making him stay?

He will come, if I call.

Wait, Mary. I put were you are. Don't you remember.

If Vitalius doesn't come back, your days are numbered. Numbered!

Suzanne prepare to leave.

Mary, pack your things. You're coming with us!

Salome!

Salome! Come away. Come!

And John? - You needn't to bother about it.

He won't be a problem for us much longer. He's more use to you alive.

Then change his mind, and I'll set him free.

Come! No.

Why?

Mary!

Why are you still here? We're coming to, to take care of supplies.

War is no place for a child. Where is Amos?

He left, before they gave the alarm.

I'll have you replaced.

But you're going with them, aren't you? I'm forced too.

This time I won't let you go alone.

Mary, we are almost ready to leave.

You can wait for him all day, but I don't think he'll come.

I know.

You've given your heart to the wrong man again. It's not what you think.

Mary, Mary look. It's Jesus!

Blessed is the man, who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers.

Sees delights ... - Stop! Stop here!

Stop him! Stop him! I can't stand it anymore!

Do something! He's getting on my nerves!

He's expecting a rescuer. His accomplice, the Nazarene, is out there.

Attack him! We we have the troops?

And leave an insurrection behind us?

We have to do something.

Mary, go. Try to shut him up.

You must be thirsty.

Not as thirsty as you.

How long will you deny yourself?

What do you know about me?

A fallen woman, divorced, deserted ...

You know what pain is.

What ties you to Herodias? A marriage-breaker ...

Riches? Power? But what do you want?

A man. And perhaps his love.

Is that what you want?

I've done eveything to reach this. - But?

It's still isn't enough for you? What do you really want?

What do you desire most?

Mary.

I want to love, and to be loved.

But the love of a man, so easily gets lost. I know.

A love that is deeper, one that brings peace, a love of God.

And where is this love?

In pain, in war, in the misery of the world?

God hides Himself from us, so we find Him through longing.

In the end, no matter what the questions is, He is, the only answer.

I came here to help you, but I can't.

Wait ...

to beggars, my disciples, would you go with them, to Jesus, to bring him a message?

Ask him: Are you the Messiah, or must we wait still?

I thought you knew.

Every life has its purpose.

Mine is, to prepare the way for Him.

Even if that should cost you everything?

Yes.

So? - He wants me to carry a message to the Nazarene.

What message? - Does it matter!

He trusts Mary, and she will bring him the answer, he wants him to hear.

And now send for Vitalius.

Please Mary, take me with you. I must go with you.

I can't stay here knowing that you were with Him.

Listen Mary, I wouldn't coming back with you.

You must.

The fate of runaway slaves, is death.

There is no place for that, where he stands.

Now.

Tell John that the blind can see, the lame can walk, the lepers are healed, deaf can hear, and the dead arised.

Go and tell him that.

When you walk into the woods ... - No other message?

... looking for John ... what do you expect to find? A prophet?

Yes, and you found one, more than a prophet ...

For this is the man to whom it was written:

I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you.

For I truly tell you, of those born of a woman, none is greater that John the Baptist.

And then he said: "The smallest in the Kingdom of Heaven, is greater than you."

I have my answer. It is Him!

And now? I must fall, so He may rise.

Repent, Mary. Forgive. Before it's too late.

Well?

It's hard to understand these men. But there's one thing, I do know.

They can't be bought.

You must kill them, Antipas. Both of them.

They're dangerous. They're undermining us.

The soldiers won't fight. What are you waiting for!

The troops would think you believe them!

Enough!

Give the order, now!

The Nabateans. How long until we'd have to fight them!

How long until until supplies ran out!

And our allies? Where are they!

Where is Vitalius?

Enough!

I am the king. I decide.

Joanna! - Mary! Joanna!

What will happen now? You can't stay here anymore.

It's too dangerous. I'll send you back to Magdala, if we survive.

You must kill him. Kill him!

Look, the Nabateans are cowards! They're running. They're running!

Vitalius! I'm so glad to see you!

May the gods reward you, General.

My apologies for the delay. I discovered a traitor in the ranks.

Your message never reached Rome.

You mean Tiberius knows nothing of the peace with the Parthians? - No.

But Rome punishes disobedience. Here's the proof.

A feast, for our guests, help, banquet!

What have I done? - Prepare a banquet for our guest of honor ...

Silvanus. - Quick, don't make our General wait!

Aren't you glad, I came back for you? Yes ...

but Silvanus ... Silvanus, Silvanus! What do you care about Silvanus?

Silvanus is dead.

I knew him. And so?

Mary ... Who are you?

I don't know anything about you.

Who am I?

A woman who wanted revenge, and lost ... lost herself.

Until you found me.

It's over, Mary. It's over.

I love you.

For the might and glory of Rome! To our noble allies.

We'll see about that.

You meant to desert Herod Antipas?

Why do you think I'm here?

For this buffoon! And the war, the Nabateans? ...

Say "stay", and we should fight.

Say "go", and we should leave them.

The fate of Galilee depends on me?

My fate. - Some entertainment!

Music, dancers!

In this hole?

Salome.

Salome, my sweetest daughter.

Would you dance for us? P-please ...?

No.

Of course. Of course! Salome will be happy to dance for you.

Conquer the king for me, and I will give you the husband you desire.

Come!

They finally have persuaded her to dance.

Dance, now!

Tell me your reward, up to half a kingdom ...

Ask for the head of John the Baptist.

The head of John the Baptist!

Salome! Be quiet, slave!

I want you to give me, on this platter, the head of John the Baptist.

Nooo! Mary!

Will you break your promise? Insult your guests?

Give them an order! Yes or no.

Show you're a king.

Yes. I am king. Do as she says.

No. No!

Forgiveness. Mary!

No hatred... no revenge ...

Noo!

I'm here.

I danced ... I danced for Herod as my mother wanted! Yes, Salome.

She promised me a husband. Leave her alone.

Leave her alone. Didn't you hear what I said!

Mary! I said leave her alone!

After all this time, you've learned nothing from me, Mary. Nothing!

That's not true. I've learned something.

I've learned cruelty, and hatred for all!

But I'm not like you. I'm not heartless like you are!

How dare you!

Leave her! Let her go!

The only reason I keep you alive, is that Vitalius finds you bearable.

John is dead, but his word lives on.

Our soldiers will be in Magdala in a short time, General. - Good.

What did you say about Magdala?

Tomorrow, Magdala would not longer exist.

What?

I told you. It's over.

I've sent soldiers. They'll destroy it.

No, no! Mary, what's wrong?

Amos, the traitor, will not hurt you again.

That's not what I wanted!

Please take me there, before it's too late.

Please. Let's go.

Soldiers! - The Emperor will hear of this!

Go, go! You'll see! You're nothing, Mary, nothing!

You'll spend the rest of your life, warming the bed of the entire Roman legion!

My compliments, General. You've got what you deserve!

A whore. A whore!

You're abandoning us. But ... I'm king.

Joanna! - Mary, Mary!

Joanna! Mary! ... Mary!

Help me, Samuel's in the house. Samuel!

I think he's not breathing. He's dying!

He's dying!

Do something! Oh, Mary, do something!

Come back Samuel! ...

I could not save him.

Turn your back on Galilee. There is life elsewhere.

Not for me ... to be the cause of so much pain.

It's done! Accept it!

How?

I would be anywhere else, not to be here, not to be who I am ...

No one can help me. Who can forgive me now?

How can she forgive me?

I killed her son.

Take hard, Mary. Death ends all things.

No.

Rome needs me, Mary. Come with me!

Nobody, nobody will hurt you again. I know I can make you happy.

The love of a man, your love, was all I ever wanted ...

That means you don't love me? I do love you.

I no longer know what I want. Can I help you?

Come with me. I 'm asking you for the last time.

Mary.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Mary! Mary!

I found you at last.

Look, Jesus is here. Please, Mary, come with us.

I can't face him.

You don't have to be afraid of him, Mary. He ... He is the answer!

Mary, Mary.

Don't touch me. I'm unclean.

You called me. Come.

Joanna.

Leave him now. Come.

Samuel ... Get up now ...

Your mother is waiting ...

Yes. Samuel, Samuel!

Mother! Mother!

Mary. You see, love is stronger than death, and every sin ...

Welcome, welcome. Thank you for accepting my invitation.

We've been waiting for you.

I thank you for your invitation, Simon.

I can't. I don't deserve his love.

It's not true. Jesus accepts everyone.

Let Him into your heart.

Come, Master.

How dare she enter. She's a prostitute!

Sacrilege, sacrilege!

Come.

Rabin ... They're wondering, how you can be a prophet, I mean, not to know what kind of woman she is ...

I know what kind of woman she is ... She's a sinner ...

Simon, I have something to say to you ...

You see this woman?

I entered your house, and you gave me no water for my feet ...

but she's washed them with her tears. and wiped them with her hair ...

You did not greet me with a kiss, but yet, she hasn't stopped kissing me ...

You did not anoint my head with oil, but yet, she's anointed my feet.

So I say to you: her sins are forgiven, as her love deserves.

Your faith has saved you. You're forgiven ...

For you've loved so much ...

Go in peace ...

I won't leave You, ever ... I will follow You, wherever You go ...

And so, I followed Him, to the cross ...

Then I met him alive, risen, and finally, I understood.

His love was stronger than death ... That's what He showed me, and I trusted Him ...

Where's Jesus gone, Mary? He hasn't gone.

We're living His love ... He lives on, in the love we're giving to each other ...
