01:14.146 --> 01:15.396 [horse whinnies] 01:17.396 --> 01:20.229
[Mary] I was chosen to deliver a gift to the world. 01:22.479 --> 01:24.688
The greatest gift it has ever known. 01:29.396 --> 01:31.229
You may think you know my story. 01:31.938 --> 01:32.938 Trust me,
01:33.979 --> 01:34.979 you don't. 01:47.271 --> 01:51.438 [breathing heavily]
01:56.896 --> 01:59.896 [Mary] My father, Joachim, withdrew to the desert
01:59.979 --> 02:02.396 for 40 days of fasting and repentance,
02:02.938 --> 02:05.646 believing the Lord denied him a child as punishment.
02:07.396 --> 02:10.438 My mother, Anne, prayed fervently for a child.
02:10.521 --> 02:12.563 [murmuring prayer] 02:27.771 --> 02:30.771
[crickets chirping] 02:37.021 --> 02:40.354 [wild dogs howling]

02:58.313 --> 03:00.521 How did I offend you, my Lord? 03:01.479 --> 03:03.729
All I want is a child. 03:06.604 --> 03:08.271 [breathing shakily]
03:08.354 --> 03:09.854 [man] He hears you. 03:12.271 --> 03:14.479
[startled breaths] 03:14.563 --> 03:18.729 [wind whistling loudly]
03:18.813 --> 03:21.396 Who are you? How did you get here?
03:23.396 --> 03:24.938 I am Gabriel. 03:25.979 --> 03:28.771
God will gift you with a daughter. 03:29.563 --> 03:31.146 A d-- A daughter?
03:40.729 --> 03:43.354 Wait, wait, wait, wait. 03:47.521 --> 03:48.604
A daughter? 03:48.688 --> 03:50.146 -Yes. -[weeps] 03:50.229 --> 03:52.313
He will gift you a daughter 03:53.313 --> 03:55.896 unlike any other.
03:56.896 --> 03:59.646 She will fulfill Isaiah's prophecy.
04:02.979 --> 04:04.813 And in exchange… 04:04.896 --> 04:06.646
Yes, what is it? 04:08.896 --> 04:10.146 A promise. 04:11.729 --> 04:16.188
When I return, you must dedicate her to the service of God.
04:17.479 --> 04:19.563 To dwell in His temple. 04:22.771 --> 04:24.896

05:18.729 --> 05:19.938 [Anne laughs] 05:21.604 --> 05:23.354
Our prayers have been answered. 05:23.438 --> 05:26.271 [Anne sighs and laughs]
05:27.854 --> 05:28.854 [muffled] Joachim. 05:29.854 --> 05:31.854

[sighs happily] 05:48.063 --> 05:50.063 [birds cawing] 05:50.854 --> 05:54.313
[Mary] The Romans appointed King Herod to reign over Judea.
05:55.313 --> 05:59.396 Herod's tyrannical rule
sparked an uprising amongst the Judeans. 06:03.563 --> 06:06.063
I never imagined our two worlds would collide. 06:06.146 --> 06:08.688
[scepter thudding] 06:09.229 --> 06:12.313 [brooding suspenseful music]
06:15.104 --> 06:17.104 [Herod coughs] 06:20.104 --> 06:22.396
[scepter thudding] 06:22.479 --> 06:23.396 My people… 06:25.729 --> 06:27.354
citizens of Jerusalem, 06:28.479 --> 06:33.188 I plan to rebuild
and enlarge the Second Temple 06:34.063 --> 06:37.271
to a splendor of magnificence never before imagined. 06:37.979 --> 06:43.354
And I will embrace the troubles and the pain that will assault me,
06:43.438 --> 06:47.354 and I will embrace them as levies of greatness.
06:47.438 --> 06:51.521 The pain the hand of eternity has set upon me.
06:52.313 --> 06:53.646 With this temple, 06:54.354 --> 06:58.063
I make full return to God. 06:58.771 --> 07:02.021 [men chanting]
07:02.104 --> 07:04.854 [Herod] For his bounteous gift to me of this,
07:04.938 --> 07:09.354 his holy kingdom of Judea. 07:10.271 --> 07:13.313
[indistinct shouts and chatter] 07:16.396 --> 07:18.563 [metallic hammering]
07:18.646 --> 07:21.479 [scepter thudding] 07:22.771 --> 07:24.021 Your king,
07:25.938 --> 07:30.313 I, Herod, King of all the Jews. 07:31.688 --> 07:34.271
[indistinct chatter] 07:34.354 --> 07:37.521 [man] We must no longer
tolerate this injustice. 07:37.604 --> 07:41.021
Listen to me! Is it time to take action! 07:41.104 --> 07:42.604
[indistinct chatter] 07:42.688 --> 07:48.521
This temple is a monument to Herod's vanity and desire for Roman approval.
07:48.604 --> 07:51.854 Though he claims to honor God,
he is just a puppet of Rome 07:51.938 --> 07:54.313
who shed Jewish blood to gain his throne. 07:54.396 --> 07:56.271
He is not even a Jew! 07:56.354 --> 08:00.604 How could Judaism ever be restored
under Herod's illegitimate reign? 08:01.521 --> 08:04.188
We must follow Aristobulus, the high priest. 08:04.271 --> 08:06.188
He will lead us back to God. 08:06.271 --> 08:07.688 [chains rattle]
08:11.896 --> 08:14.479 These are trying times for us all.
08:14.563 --> 08:16.104 In the face of adversity, 08:16.188 --> 08:19.354
the divine providence of God will serve a greater purpose.
08:20.229 --> 08:21.313 [door closes] 08:28.146 --> 08:31.604
Aristobulus, you must go into hiding. 08:31.688 --> 08:34.563
I have our people's support, sister. 08:34.646 --> 08:36.521
I assure you we are strong. 08:36.604 --> 08:37.438 No. 08:38.438 --> 08:39.729
Things have changed. 08:40.771 --> 08:43.229 [yells and grunts]
08:44.271 --> 08:45.979 [yelling] 08:49.063 --> 08:49.896 [yells]
08:50.521 --> 08:51.354 Please! 08:51.438 --> 08:53.146 [pained moans]
08:56.896 --> 08:57.938 Please! 09:07.021 --> 09:08.438 My little sparrow.
09:09.354 --> 09:10.438 My love. 09:11.188 --> 09:12.521 [knocking at door]
09:14.729 --> 09:15.563 Thank you. 09:17.104 --> 09:17.938 [lock clicks]
09:18.771 --> 09:19.854 [Herod] You look troubled. 09:21.563 --> 09:22.979
What ails you, my queen? 09:24.146 --> 09:25.854 You don't remember who I am.
09:27.688 --> 09:28.688 [laughs] 09:28.771 --> 09:30.354
Yes, I remember who you are. 09:31.479 --> 09:34.313 You helped me build
the many glories of this kingdom. 09:35.188 --> 09:38.021 You gave me
many beautiful Hasmonean children. 09:40.271 --> 09:42.604
You will always have my heart, Mariamne. 09:49.646 --> 09:51.396 Let us drink to
09:52.313 --> 09:53.771 our long, 09:54.896 --> 09:57.104 insufferable marriage.
10:02.979 --> 10:03.813 Pray, 10:04.938 --> 10:06.521 share the news.
10:09.021 --> 10:09.979 Yes. 10:12.354 --> 10:14.354
Your brother has been dealt with. 10:14.438 --> 10:15.604 [grunts]
10:21.854 --> 10:23.021 You… 10:23.938 --> 10:25.229 …are a monster.
10:25.813 --> 10:26.646 Yes. 10:26.729 --> 10:29.438
Someday, this madness will end… 10:29.521 --> 10:30.729 -Yes.
-…and we will restore 10:30.813 --> 10:31.938 the throne of David.
10:32.021 --> 10:33.979 -[pained cry] -[blade plunging] 10:35.313 --> 10:36.688
Be still, my love. 10:38.229 --> 10:39.313 Mariamne. 10:40.396 --> 10:41.688
My little sparrow. 10:41.771 --> 10:42.854 [body thuds] 10:48.771 --> 10:51.104

Careful not to bruise them, Malachi. 12:37.438 --> 12:38.313
[Malachi] Of course, sir. 12:38.896 --> 12:40.938 Each olive is a kiss from God.
12:41.021 --> 12:42.604 Don't you forget it, my friend. 12:43.188 --> 12:45.396

12:56.646 --> 12:57.604 Come here! 12:58.521 --> 12:59.771 Don't fly away!

-[boy] Mary! 13:13.354 --> 13:14.438 Noam! 13:16.396 --> 13:19.021
Noam wants to play with you while your fathers talk. 13:19.104 --> 13:20.563
Come on. I want to show you something. 13:20.646 --> 13:22.021
Keep your ears open for lunch! 13:22.104 --> 13:23.146 [Mary] Hurry up, Noam!
13:23.229 --> 13:24.771 Do you hear me, Mary? 13:24.854 --> 13:25.979 [chuckles]
13:26.063 --> 13:29.354 [both giggling] 13:30.063 --> 13:32.313
Come on, Noam! You're too slow. 13:32.396 --> 13:34.354 You're too fast. Wait!
13:34.438 --> 13:36.646 Come on. Let's pick some figs. 13:36.729 --> 13:38.938
Mama will be so surprised. 13:39.021 --> 13:39.938 Mary? 13:45.771 --> 13:48.563
Hurry up! The figs won't pick themselves. 13:50.479 --> 13:52.063
Why can't we just walk? 13:52.563 --> 13:54.563 [distant voices echoing]

[reads indistinctly] 14:19.729 --> 14:22.438
I've had many reports of discontent. 14:23.229 --> 14:25.021
Pharisee discontent. 14:25.104 --> 14:27.479 -Yeah?
-In the prosperous hillside areas. 14:27.563 --> 14:28.854 Discontent?
14:28.938 --> 14:29.854 Yes, sire. 14:29.938 --> 14:32.021
And why is there discontent, Marcellus? 14:33.188 --> 14:35.021
They want you to strike 14:35.104 --> 14:37.896 against the incursions
and the Nabataean raiders. 14:37.979 --> 14:39.479 Oh. [chuckles]
14:39.563 --> 14:42.229 Also, there are those rumors. 14:43.229 --> 14:45.188
-Reports of a savior. -Savior? 14:45.938 --> 14:47.438
And who's talking about a savior? 14:50.771 --> 14:51.604 Salome?
14:52.188 --> 14:54.521 You, my brother, are the King of the Jews.
14:55.438 --> 14:56.771 The true savior. 14:56.854 --> 14:58.063
That's all that matters. 14:58.146 --> 15:00.229 Who is talking about a savior?
15:04.479 --> 15:06.479 I've heard my husband, and others say it, too.
15:06.563 --> 15:08.229 Your husband, Costobarus? 15:08.313 --> 15:09.146 Yes.
15:09.229 --> 15:10.188 Yes. 15:11.063 --> 15:12.021 Hm. 15:12.563 --> 15:15.563
Should I spare him? Should I set him free? Or… 15:16.313 --> 15:18.438
Tell me, Salome. 15:18.521 --> 15:20.854 Should I have him stoned to death
in the marketplace? 15:22.104 --> 15:23.063 What say you?
15:25.729 --> 15:29.063 His head on a pike will calm the people, surely.
15:30.938 --> 15:32.979 Tell me, would it be terrible for you
15:33.063 --> 15:36.104 to lose a husband or a loved one?
15:38.438 --> 15:40.688 Your reign will always come before love.
15:40.771 --> 15:41.604 Good. 15:43.438 --> 15:44.271 Good.

16:21.479 --> 16:23.354 Mother is waiting for us, so… 16:23.438 --> 16:25.396
-Race you back! -What? Come here! 16:26.438 --> 16:29.688
-[Joachim speaking indistinctly] -[Mary giggling] 16:29.771 --> 16:31.438

16:40.521 --> 16:42.354 Mary, let's clean you up before dinner!
16:44.396 --> 16:45.813 How did you get so dirty? 16:46.479 --> 16:47.354 Well…
16:47.438 --> 16:48.771 [inhales, exhales sharply] 16:48.854 --> 16:49.979
She's very fast. 16:50.063 --> 16:53.104 [panting] 16:57.146 --> 16:58.229
[Joachim] What is it? 17:00.354 --> 17:02.271
I saw the man with the blue robe today. 17:04.604 --> 17:05.438 Papa?
17:10.021 --> 17:12.354 [bird cawing] 17:14.688 --> 17:16.354
[Joachim] Your birth was a miracle. 17:17.396 --> 17:19.104 It was a gift.
17:19.896 --> 17:21.563 For your mother and I. 17:21.646 --> 17:22.729
-[thunder rumbles] -[breathes shakily] 17:22.813 --> 17:24.688
But in exchange, I made a promise. 17:26.438 --> 17:27.896
A promise that must be kept. 17:31.354 --> 17:34.354 [dramatic music]

18:24.104 --> 18:26.104 -Let's go home. -No. 18:26.188 --> 18:28.104

18:52.938 --> 18:54.938 I'm so, so proud of you. 18:57.854 --> 18:59.188
[crying] 19:06.188 --> 19:07.563 Go. Go. 19:07.646 --> 19:10.729 [somber music]
19:19.271 --> 19:20.813 I am Anna. 19:31.979 --> 19:34.896 [indistinct chatter]
19:34.979 --> 19:36.146 [chickens cluck and crow] 19:36.771 --> 19:38.271
[lamb bleats] 19:38.354 --> 19:39.854 [indistinct speech]
19:40.979 --> 19:42.146 [lamb bleats] 19:45.146 --> 19:46.021 [man] Child!
19:50.854 --> 19:52.396 Come closer, please. 19:52.479 --> 19:54.479
[indistinct chatter] 19:59.104 --> 20:00.188 Why have you come?
20:02.313 --> 20:04.479 I am here to fulfill a promise. 20:07.563 --> 20:08.396
Anna, 20:09.771 --> 20:10.771 is this true? 20:12.271 --> 20:15.146
Has the vessel of the promise arrived at last? 20:18.563 --> 20:20.063
[sniffles and cries] 20:20.646 --> 20:24.979 El Shaddai welcomes you, child,
with open arms to your new home. 20:29.021 --> 20:29.938 Trust.
20:32.021 --> 20:34.146 He will reveal all in time. 20:35.271 --> 20:36.229
[water splashes] 20:59.688 --> 21:01.229 [distant shouting]
21:11.771 --> 21:14.604 [Anna] Mary, where are you now? 21:14.688 --> 21:16.188
-I'm coming. -[door opens] 21:18.354 --> 21:20.896
You're late for prayer, child. Get. 21:20.979 --> 21:21.813 Sorry.
21:22.354 --> 21:24.354 [man] And shall call his name… 21:30.229 --> 21:31.271
[dress rustling] 21:32.396 --> 21:33.563 Mary, where were you?
21:35.396 --> 21:38.854 I was… [clears throat] …scrubbing
the floors and polishing the vessels. 21:38.938 --> 21:41.146
You were in the gardens again, dallying. 21:41.896 --> 21:42.896 Weren't you?
21:42.979 --> 21:44.354 No, I wasn't dallying. 21:44.438 --> 21:46.354
Before afternoon prayers. 21:47.271 --> 21:48.688
Flowers don't plant themselves. 21:50.229 --> 21:52.479 The scriptures tell us
we need to serve Him through our work. 21:52.563 --> 21:53.646
[scattered giggling] 21:53.729 --> 21:55.604 [shushes] 21:56.396 --> 21:58.104
Remember your place, girls. 22:06.979 --> 22:09.354 Next time, serve Him faster.
22:10.313 --> 22:11.688 [chuckles softly] 22:13.896 --> 22:15.313
[overlapping chatter] 22:15.396 --> 22:18.438 [horn blows]
22:22.063 --> 22:25.354 [horn blows] 22:26.979 --> 22:28.979
[overlapping chatter] 22:32.104 --> 22:33.979 I-- I beg you. Please.
22:35.646 --> 22:37.854 [girl laughing] 22:41.854 --> 22:42.938
Are you going to finish that? 22:43.021 --> 22:44.896 What? No, I'm full. Why?
22:44.979 --> 22:45.896 Can I have it? 22:50.104 --> 22:51.104
What are you doing? 22:53.854 --> 22:55.854 [overlapping chatter]
23:11.313 --> 23:13.313 [gasping weakly] 23:22.521 --> 23:24.521
[overlapping chatter] 23:28.229 --> 23:29.104 [girl] Mary!
23:30.063 --> 23:30.896 Mary! 23:31.396 --> 23:32.229 Help me!
23:33.646 --> 23:35.646 [overlapping chatter continues] 23:45.479 --> 23:46.771
[man] Good evening, maiden. 23:47.604 --> 23:48.521 Oh… 23:50.146 --> 23:51.188
Didn't notice you there. 23:51.729 --> 23:52.604 Ah. 23:53.729 --> 23:56.146
I can see that you work hard. 23:57.229 --> 23:58.313 Oh.
23:58.396 --> 23:59.521 I keep busy. 24:02.063 --> 24:03.938
Leaving me little time for small talk, so-- 24:04.021 --> 24:08.688
Do you leave yourself any time for pleasure? 24:12.896 --> 24:15.396
I find pleasure every day in the mysteries of the Lord. 24:15.479 --> 24:17.063
-[chuckles] -Don't you? 24:18.104 --> 24:18.938 Yes. 24:20.354 --> 24:25.479
These are troubling times here in the temple. 24:26.188 --> 24:27.354
Don't you think? 24:29.188 --> 24:31.021 -Mary? -[ethereal hiss]
24:32.896 --> 24:33.938 You know my name then. 24:37.063 --> 24:38.938
[whispers] I would like to know more. 24:39.521 --> 24:42.188
-Pardon me. I have studies-- -No, stay, stay! 24:42.896 --> 24:43.896
[whispers] Stay! 24:45.938 --> 24:47.729 I've heard so much about you.
24:49.229 --> 24:50.688 All the priests, 24:52.313 --> 24:53.521 they talk.
24:55.188 --> 24:56.396 Please don't do that. 24:57.188 --> 24:58.604
[fly buzzes] 24:58.688 --> 25:02.438 Tell me of your allegiance
to the King of the Jews. 25:02.521 --> 25:05.729
Our imperial sovereign, King Herod. 25:08.063 --> 25:09.729
There's only one true sovereign here. 25:09.813 --> 25:10.938 [guttural growl]
25:11.021 --> 25:12.104 My allegiance is to God. 25:12.188 --> 25:13.979
[exhales] 25:15.563 --> 25:17.313 [whispering] Then you're a zealot.
25:17.938 --> 25:20.896 A traitor in the king's temple. 25:21.396 --> 25:22.396
I'm a servant. 25:23.646 --> 25:24.854 This is God's temple.
25:27.188 --> 25:28.146 Hm. 25:30.188 --> 25:36.396 There are great rewards
for serving the king's cause, Mary. 25:38.021 --> 25:41.104 -Tangible rewards.
-[growling] 25:41.188 --> 25:42.729 I know my reward. 25:42.813 --> 25:44.604
-I must go. -You will stay. 25:44.688 --> 25:45.604 Lucifer!
25:47.521 --> 25:49.521 Let her go, brother. 25:52.813 --> 25:56.146
Gabriel, leave here. 25:57.729 --> 25:59.188 Now. 26:01.938 --> 26:05.563
[ominous whispering echoes] 26:05.646 --> 26:06.688 [whispering stops]
26:11.604 --> 26:13.521 [overlapping chatter] 26:17.063 --> 26:19.646
[man] Make way for King Herod the Great! 26:20.521 --> 26:23.438
Make way for King Herod the Great! 26:26.104 --> 26:27.396 [horse whinnies]
26:28.271 --> 26:29.104 Out of the way! 26:30.146 --> 26:31.354 Move, move!
26:32.313 --> 26:33.646 -[horse whinnies] -Move! 26:38.688 --> 26:40.646
[Herod] My people of Judea! 26:40.729 --> 26:43.021 Citizens of Jerusalem.
26:43.104 --> 26:48.271 Today I wish to pay tribute to our glorious emperor,
26:48.354 --> 26:50.021 Caesar Augustus. 26:50.104 --> 26:53.271
Hail to thee, almighty Caesar. 26:53.354 --> 26:54.771 -Hail! -Hail, Caesar!
26:54.854 --> 26:56.063 -Hail! 26:56.938 --> 26:58.313 Good. Good.
26:58.979 --> 27:00.063 Ah. 27:02.146 --> 27:03.229 Marcellus.
27:05.438 --> 27:06.396 Sire. 27:09.521 --> 27:13.521
Our most high priest, Bava Ben Buta. We must all remember our place.
27:13.604 --> 27:15.104 [laughs] 27:16.104 --> 27:20.479 Perhaps we could mount
the aquila elsewhere. 27:21.479 --> 27:22.813 Elsewhere? 27:22.896 --> 27:26.938
Sire, this is our Lord's house. 27:27.021 --> 27:28.313
This is the Lord's house? 27:29.521 --> 27:33.354
Tell me, did the Lord give you all this? Did the Lord give you this mitre?
27:33.438 --> 27:37.063 Did the Lord give you my temple,
the one I have rebuilt and enlarged? 27:37.146 --> 27:39.313
Did he give you that, Bava Ben Buta? 27:39.896 --> 27:40.729 Sire.
27:40.813 --> 27:42.313 No, not sire! No, no. 27:42.396 --> 27:43.521 [laughs]
27:43.604 --> 27:47.771 I'm simply the prickly porcupine…
27:48.396 --> 27:52.813 …who will defend what is his
when he feels threatened. Yeah. 27:53.688 --> 27:55.063 Porcupine, sire?
27:55.146 --> 27:56.354 I do not understand. 27:57.396 --> 27:59.438 [chuckles]
27:59.521 --> 28:00.979 Tell me, um, 28:02.063 --> 28:05.104
do you crave or wish for a crown of your own? 28:09.646 --> 28:11.646
I crave no crown, sire. 28:13.771 --> 28:14.604 Kneel. 28:15.146 --> 28:16.563
I'm sorry, sire. I-- 28:17.146 --> 28:20.271 Kneel before your king.
28:25.188 --> 28:26.771 Good, good. 28:28.063 --> 28:34.063
Now you will feel the pains and the pangs of despised power and sovereignty
28:34.146 --> 28:39.313 because it was you who sanctified
the whispers of intrigue, yes? 28:39.396 --> 28:46.271
Who sanctioned rumors of disloyalty and disobedience in my temple, yes?
28:46.354 --> 28:47.938 -[pained breaths] -[crowd murmuring]
28:48.021 --> 28:51.938 No longer will they flourish
in my temple, Bava Ben Buta! 28:52.021 --> 28:53.688 Bava Ben Buta!
28:53.771 --> 28:54.813 Bava Ben Buta! 28:54.896 --> 28:57.063
-Bava Ben Buta! Hey! -[scepter thuds] 28:58.354 --> 28:59.521 Let me be clear.
29:00.813 --> 29:02.313 Let it be understood! 29:03.479 --> 29:06.271
That your king, I, Herod of Judea, 29:07.146 --> 29:09.521 I am your king.
29:11.854 --> 29:14.146 [droning suspenseful music] 29:19.188 --> 29:20.229
[under breath] Stop! 29:20.854 --> 29:22.063 Mary, turn away.
29:23.271 --> 29:24.938 Child. 29:28.563 --> 29:30.938 -[thunder claps]
-[man yells] 29:35.729 --> 29:36.979 [Marcellus] Sire? 29:37.063 --> 29:38.188
[fly buzzes] 29:56.063 --> 29:58.063 [breathing shakily] 30:01.438 --> 30:03.271
Vision comes in many forms. 30:06.354 --> 30:07.563 The heart, too, can see.
30:10.979 --> 30:12.979 You have to continue to guide the faithful.
30:15.604 --> 30:17.604 [cries softly] 30:24.104 --> 30:25.104
-[muffled whimpers] -Shh. 30:25.688 --> 30:27.271 You threatened the king.
30:27.896 --> 30:29.313 -Why? -I didn't! 30:29.396 --> 30:30.688
What did you just do to him? 30:30.771 --> 30:32.521 Nothing, sir.
I'm just a servant of the temple. 30:33.104 --> 30:36.229
Well, something tells me that's not entirely true. 30:37.354 --> 30:38.771
What powers do you have? 30:38.854 --> 30:41.313 -I-- I don't have any!
-What did you do to him? 30:41.396 --> 30:44.146
Captain! You have no business here. 30:44.229 --> 30:45.688 Prophetess,
30:45.771 --> 30:47.979 this maiden, she threatened the king.
30:48.063 --> 30:50.479 She did no such thing. 30:51.438 --> 30:52.604
Release her. 30:57.938 --> 30:59.104 [gasps] 30:59.188 --> 31:00.688
Leave here now. 31:03.146 --> 31:06.146 I will stop you, whatever you are.
31:11.604 --> 31:13.104 Anna. [sighs] 31:13.188 --> 31:14.063 Oh.
31:14.146 --> 31:16.313 I said nothing to the king, I promise.
31:17.313 --> 31:21.396 You are far more powerful than words, child.
31:22.063 --> 31:23.479 You're learning. 31:24.229 --> 31:25.729 [laughs softly]
31:27.771 --> 31:30.104 [inhales deeply] 31:30.188 --> 31:32.646
-[metallic clinking] -[overlapping chatter] 31:35.938 --> 31:39.271
[indistinct shouts] 31:49.104 --> 31:52.938
The resistance meets tomorrow to fight the oppression of the Roman taxes.
31:53.021 --> 31:54.229 -We should go. -No! 31:54.313 --> 31:56.979
-They will crush us. -That's why we must go. 31:57.063 --> 31:58.896
It's time to rise up before we're all wiped out. 31:58.979 --> 32:01.271
Rise up? To be slaughtered like cattle? 32:01.354 --> 32:03.063
You are cattle if you think like that. 32:03.146 --> 32:04.146
[man] Bring more next time. 32:05.729 --> 32:07.396 Herod rules by fear.
32:07.479 --> 32:09.813 He is not our king. He's ungodly.
32:09.896 --> 32:11.938 More Roman than Jew. Is that what you want?
32:12.021 --> 32:13.896 I want to be more alive than dead.
32:13.979 --> 32:15.396 Joseph, what do you think? 32:16.979 --> 32:18.563
I think you're just wasting your time. 32:18.646 --> 32:20.438
You're trying to tell me you don't believe in the cause? 32:20.521 --> 32:21.438
What cause? 32:21.521 --> 32:24.354 -[metallic clinking] -[overlapping chatter]
32:24.438 --> 32:26.646 I only believe in what I can see with my own eyes.
32:32.063 --> 32:34.063 [footsteps] 32:36.063 --> 32:38.979
[birds chirping and cawing] 33:05.313 --> 33:08.854 [quacking]
33:12.688 --> 33:14.979 [quacking] 33:25.604 --> 33:26.438 [whispers] Hey!
33:26.938 --> 33:27.813 Hey! 33:29.438 --> 33:30.396 Outta my way!
33:32.396 --> 33:33.521 Move along. 33:35.938 --> 33:36.771 What?
33:36.854 --> 33:39.729 The hunting is better around the bend.
34:01.438 --> 34:03.563 [wind blowing] 34:09.229 --> 34:12.104
[soft ethereal music] 34:48.604 --> 34:49.438 [Joseph] Hey!
34:50.104 --> 34:52.354 Hey! Wait, I can get that! 34:54.979 --> 34:56.271 Hey!
34:56.354 --> 34:57.479 Wait! 34:58.063 --> 34:59.813
Hey, I-- I'll get that for you! 35:00.354 --> 35:01.813 I can help you!
35:02.521 --> 35:04.563 Hey! Wait! 35:05.729 --> 35:06.688 Who are you?
35:08.354 --> 35:09.979 Wait, don't go! 35:10.688 --> 35:11.979
Please, don't go! 35:13.146 --> 35:15.354 Just tell me your name!
35:16.771 --> 35:18.271 What's your name? 35:18.854 --> 35:19.896
What's your name? 35:19.979 --> 35:21.063 [laughs] 35:21.688 --> 35:23.979
I'm the daughter of Joachim of Nazareth. 35:25.396 --> 35:27.604
And you are… crazy. 35:29.479 --> 35:30.813 [laughs] 35:35.688 --> 35:36.813
[bird caws] 35:36.896 --> 35:39.438 Do we not have the right
to live as free men, 35:39.521 --> 35:42.896 to harvest our olives
to feed our families? 35:44.021 --> 35:45.396 To worship without fear?
35:45.479 --> 35:48.021 Your workers there, they speak of protest and zealotry.
35:48.604 --> 35:50.229 It's just talk. They're good men.
35:50.313 --> 35:53.479 They talk of resistance.
You can't allow this. It's treason. 35:54.396 --> 35:56.813
Their hearts are in the right place. 35:57.646 --> 35:58.646
What are you saying? 36:00.396 --> 36:03.313 The regime is corrupt and unholy.
You know it as well as I. 36:03.396 --> 36:06.479 You're a party to this treason
if you do not stop them. 36:07.313 --> 36:10.104 [man speaking indistinctly]
36:10.188 --> 36:11.813 You're overreacting. 36:11.896 --> 36:15.813
You put your own family's prosperity at risk. And their safety.
36:15.896 --> 36:17.646 [indistinct speech continues] 36:25.896 --> 36:27.229
Can I ask you something, Anna? 36:30.521 --> 36:32.104 Is this about a boy?
36:32.188 --> 36:33.604 What? No. 36:34.188 --> 36:35.438 I'm not so sure.
36:37.896 --> 36:39.771 You've been here for a long time, right?
36:39.854 --> 36:42.646 I haven't left the temple in 47 years.
36:43.521 --> 36:44.813 Is that long? 36:46.646 --> 36:47.813 Pretty long, yes.
36:47.896 --> 36:49.896 [distant indistinct speech] 36:51.021 --> 36:52.813
I don't know how to ask you this, but… 36:55.604 --> 36:57.646
Isn't that kind of a dull life? 36:59.229 --> 37:00.063 Dull?
37:00.896 --> 37:02.354 [Anna sighs] 37:02.438 --> 37:06.188
Living continuously face to face with God. 37:06.771 --> 37:09.854
Losing the narrowness of self-interest, 37:09.938 --> 37:13.896
and being absorbed in the ever-widening interests 37:13.979 --> 37:16.188
which God makes known to me? 37:17.063 --> 37:19.438
Hmm, would you be so lucky, child? 37:21.938 --> 37:22.771 Right…
37:25.813 --> 37:28.854 But can't I do even more good outside the temple?
37:30.813 --> 37:31.646 I-- I mean… 37:32.646 --> 37:36.646
How can I do anything important if I'm stuck in here? 37:36.729 --> 37:38.438
I told you it was about a boy. 37:38.521 --> 37:39.521 It's not.
37:39.604 --> 37:40.771 It's always about a boy. 37:40.854 --> 37:42.229
Anna, I'm promised to the Lord. 37:43.104 --> 37:43.938 Hm.
37:44.938 --> 37:46.021 Do you doubt my fidelity? 37:48.021 --> 37:49.063 No.
37:51.313 --> 37:52.229 Do you? 37:54.354 --> 37:55.479
What's that supposed to mean? 37:55.563 --> 37:59.563 It means come downstairs
and help me in the kitchen. 38:02.938 --> 38:03.896 [knocks at door]
38:03.979 --> 38:05.063 Hello, sir. 38:05.146 --> 38:06.854
May I have your daughter's hand? 38:07.521 --> 38:09.354 [rooster crows]
38:09.438 --> 38:11.146 Her hand? What? 38:11.771 --> 38:14.396
Yes. In marriage, sir. May I have it? 38:15.396 --> 38:18.063
Who are you? How do you know Mary? 38:19.396 --> 38:21.354
Mary. So that's her name? 38:21.438 --> 38:22.479 You don't know her name?
38:22.563 --> 38:24.104 Well, I do now, sir. 38:24.188 --> 38:26.104
Please, may I have her hand? 38:26.188 --> 38:27.938
-There's a spirit about her, and… -Who's here? 38:28.021 --> 38:29.896
I have no idea. 38:29.979 --> 38:31.063 [bird caws] 38:32.063 --> 38:33.021
Young man, 38:33.771 --> 38:35.146 Mary is vowed to the Lord.
38:35.229 --> 38:37.354 Yes. I understand. 38:37.438 --> 38:40.396
But please, let me assure you, this is meant to be. 38:40.979 --> 38:42.479
[rooster crows] 38:43.438 --> 38:44.479 [sighs] 38:45.229 --> 38:46.396
Young love. 38:46.479 --> 38:47.979 [laughs] 38:49.563 --> 38:52.021
But it's not. She's accounted for. 38:52.104 --> 38:54.104 Um, um--
38:54.771 --> 38:56.271 -Wait! -[Anne] How can you say that?
38:56.354 --> 38:59.271 -How can you speak for her like that?
-[Joachim] How can I speak for her? 38:59.354 --> 39:01.854
I'm her father. And we decided. 39:01.938 --> 39:04.354 -This is a stranger.
-[Anne] We didn't decide. You decided. 39:04.438 --> 39:05.521
[Joachim] What are you trying to say? 39:05.604 --> 39:08.896
Please, I'm so sorry to bother you. Just listen to me for one second.
39:08.979 --> 39:12.688 I've never experienced
anything like this in my entire life. 39:13.313 --> 39:15.896
Something changed in me when I saw your daughter. 39:16.396 --> 39:18.438
I was hunting down by the river. 39:18.521 --> 39:20.146 I saw this…
39:20.938 --> 39:22.146 beautiful… 39:22.979 --> 39:25.271 and gentle creature…
39:26.729 --> 39:28.396 …just dancing in the wind. 39:29.563 --> 39:30.563
And I knew… 39:32.188 --> 39:33.271 She is my wife. 39:34.229 --> 39:35.604
And it never would have happened 39:35.688 --> 39:37.479
if this strange man in a blue robe 39:37.563 --> 39:39.479
-wouldn't have led me to her. -A blue robe? 39:39.563 --> 39:40.521
Yes, a blue robe. 39:51.813 --> 39:52.729 [Mary] Mama? 39:54.563 --> 39:55.438
Mm. 39:56.604 --> 39:58.771 [distant indistinct chatter] 39:58.854 --> 40:00.896
-Wait! Papa, is he okay? -He's fine. 40:02.396 --> 40:03.271 Older.
40:06.771 --> 40:07.688 Mary… 40:09.813 --> 40:12.354 Your father and I
have promised you to a young man. 40:13.688 --> 40:15.021
I-- I don't understand. 40:16.146 --> 40:18.854
We have decided you're to be married. 40:21.979 --> 40:22.813 What?
40:24.354 --> 40:26.688 What do you mean? You sold me off
like one of our prized steeds? 40:26.771 --> 40:28.854 -It's not like that.
-Mother, it is like that. 40:30.396 --> 40:32.271 How could you possibly
think of allowing this? 40:32.354 --> 40:33.604 Well, I think it's a good idea.
40:35.438 --> 40:37.729 -What? -His name is Joseph. 40:37.813 --> 40:40.563
He's serious and very handsome. 40:40.646 --> 40:41.938
Mother, I'm a servant of God. 40:42.021 --> 40:42.854 Mary…
40:45.021 --> 40:46.813 The angel appeared again. 40:47.896 --> 40:50.521
This boy is meant for you. 40:58.979 --> 40:59.979 You're Joseph?
41:02.271 --> 41:03.438 Most days, yes. 41:04.938 --> 41:06.063 [Bava Ben Buta]
Let it be known, Lord… 41:06.146 --> 41:07.979 The drowning fool in the river.
41:08.063 --> 41:10.479 …that these two young persons before you…
41:10.563 --> 41:11.646 That's me. 41:11.729 --> 41:14.396
…in this engagement ceremony 41:14.938 --> 41:18.729
swear themselves to each other to be married. 41:19.271 --> 41:22.854
And to your service, in love 41:22.938 --> 41:25.021 and in respect.
41:25.979 --> 41:27.479 Do you really think this is a good idea?
41:28.813 --> 41:29.938 Joseph? 41:30.021 --> 41:32.563
May the Lord bless you and protect you. 41:33.938 --> 41:36.396 -Well…
-May the Lord shine his face upon you… 41:36.479 --> 41:38.854 -…actually I do.
-…and give you peace. 41:39.938 --> 41:45.063 [Bava Ben Buta chanting]
41:49.854 --> 41:51.854 -[overlapping chatter] -[Mary sighs]
41:55.271 --> 41:58.271 [goat bleating] 42:02.604 --> 42:04.104 [Anne sighs]
42:04.188 --> 42:05.771 So, what do you think? 42:07.938 --> 42:09.896
He's very handsome, Mother. 42:11.313 --> 42:12.313 [giggles]
42:18.521 --> 42:19.563 Goodbye. 42:19.646 --> 42:22.688 [overlapping chatter]
42:30.354 --> 42:31.229 [sighs] 42:35.604 --> 42:38.604 [wind blowing]
42:42.521 --> 42:45.979 [thunder rolling] 42:52.313 --> 42:54.313
[thunder rolling] 42:54.396 --> 42:58.271 [angelic vocalizing]
43:16.938 --> 43:18.354 I don't understand. 43:22.688 --> 43:26.896
Now it is your will that I should marry this perfect stranger. Why?
43:37.188 --> 43:39.104 You only speak to others about this.
43:42.979 --> 43:44.896 You've got nothing to say to me. 44:02.063 --> 44:05.063
[rain pattering distantly] 44:15.021 --> 44:17.896 [rainfall]
44:17.979 --> 44:20.854 [thunder rolls] 44:25.604 --> 44:26.729 [gasps]
44:26.813 --> 44:27.646 Who's there? 44:30.229 --> 44:31.563 What do you want?
44:31.646 --> 44:34.063 Don't be afraid, Mary. 44:35.229 --> 44:38.771
You have found favor… with God. 44:41.646 --> 44:43.271 What-- What do you mean?
44:45.729 --> 44:49.271 You are to become a mother and have a son.
44:51.021 --> 44:54.563 He will reign over the house of David.
44:57.229 --> 44:59.146 But that's not possible. 44:59.229 --> 45:00.604
I can't have a child. 45:02.813 --> 45:05.688 -[rainfall stops] -[dove coos]
45:05.771 --> 45:08.938 All things are possible… 45:11.396 --> 45:12.271
…with God. 45:16.021 --> 45:18.854 You will name him 45:19.354 --> 45:20.354
Jesus. 45:21.896 --> 45:25.021 And all the world will know him, Mary.
45:27.896 --> 45:28.979 For you 45:29.688 --> 45:32.688 are blessed among women.
45:35.979 --> 45:37.979 [birds chirping] 45:38.854 --> 45:41.146 [dove coos]
45:43.021 --> 45:45.021 [thunder rolls] 45:47.104 --> 45:48.771
[rainfall resumes] 45:48.854 --> 45:51.979 [thunder rumbling]
46:02.021 --> 46:03.271 Let it be me. 46:07.854 --> 46:09.854 [birds chirping]
46:21.229 --> 46:23.854 [distant rumbling and shouting] 46:25.188 --> 46:26.521
[Herod] How strange. 46:27.313 --> 46:30.521 I bring them water,
yet they will not drink. 46:31.813 --> 46:33.521 Or they refuse to drink.
46:34.979 --> 46:35.938 Hm. 46:37.271 --> 46:40.938
Beware the tyranny of the… common good. 46:43.188 --> 46:44.063 Marcellus?
46:44.146 --> 46:45.271 Yes, my lord? 46:45.354 --> 46:47.896
Beware the tyranny of the common good. 46:47.979 --> 46:50.229 It is a serpent
who will turn and devour you. 46:51.479 --> 46:54.688
But… I shall tax them, yes. 46:54.771 --> 46:55.604 [laughs]
46:55.688 --> 47:00.229 I will call a census and tax them for
their ingratitude and their thanklessness. 47:00.313 --> 47:04.729
And they shall behold and see the reward of the wicked. 47:05.271 --> 47:09.063
And I shall behold and see… their suffering 47:10.146 --> 47:11.854
as my children before me. 47:13.021 --> 47:14.979 Go, Marcellus, do it.
47:15.063 --> 47:15.938 Yes, my lord. 47:16.604 --> 47:18.146 [footsteps fading]
47:18.813 --> 47:21.063 Have you told anyone about this? 47:25.354 --> 47:26.396
Who would believe me? 47:28.229 --> 47:29.604 I believe you.
47:31.563 --> 47:35.229 But you are wise to keep this quiet for now.
47:36.521 --> 47:39.813 Not all in the temple possess such a faith.
47:46.646 --> 47:49.396 -[distant chatter] -[birds chirping]
47:52.063 --> 47:52.896 [man] Mary! 47:56.104 --> 47:57.938
[man] She is with child. 47:58.604 --> 47:59.646 [Bava Ben Buta] Is this true?
48:01.021 --> 48:01.854 I can explain. 48:01.938 --> 48:03.479 Is this true?
48:12.396 --> 48:13.604 I didn't do anything wrong. 48:13.688 --> 48:14.896
You have broken your vow! 48:14.979 --> 48:15.813 I haven't!
48:15.896 --> 48:17.271 She is a disgrace. 48:19.354 --> 48:20.938
You can't stay here, Mary. 48:23.063 --> 48:23.896 But… 48:27.438 --> 48:29.354
No, please, you cannot do this. 48:29.438 --> 48:31.896 It has come to pass.
48:34.438 --> 48:36.771 You will return here. 48:39.104 --> 48:41.646
[tense music swells and fades] 48:42.979 --> 48:45.104 [birds chirping]
49:01.854 --> 49:03.354 [cries] 49:08.688 --> 49:10.438 [sobs]
49:11.021 --> 49:12.729 They cast me out of the temple. 49:13.313 --> 49:14.188
What? 49:16.146 --> 49:17.438 Why would they do that? 49:24.438 --> 49:25.938
Because I'm with child, Mama. 49:26.563 --> 49:27.396 Oh, Mary…
49:27.479 --> 49:29.688 I haven't done anything wrong, I promise.
49:29.771 --> 49:31.021 But how could this be? 49:31.104 --> 49:32.938
The angel in blue, he told me-- 49:33.021 --> 49:34.021 The angel?
49:35.104 --> 49:36.354 He came to you? 49:37.979 --> 49:39.771
Yes, I thought it was a dream. 49:41.438 --> 49:43.271
You're the vessel of the promise. 49:45.313 --> 49:46.313 It's true.
49:46.396 --> 49:48.521 What does that mean? Mama, I'm engaged to Joseph.
49:48.604 --> 49:50.521 We're not even married. I can't have a baby.
49:50.604 --> 49:51.938 You are stronger than you know. 49:54.896 --> 49:57.229
You have been selected for great things, 49:57.313 --> 49:59.938
and great things never come easy. 50:01.021 --> 50:02.271
We'll get through this. 50:02.813 --> 50:04.021 As a family.
50:05.354 --> 50:06.479 So should we tell Papa? 50:06.563 --> 50:08.896
No. Do not tell your father. 50:08.979 --> 50:11.729 -I'll face him if I must.
-People will talk. 50:11.813 --> 50:14.521
You could be stoned if they find you here. 50:16.938 --> 50:19.438
I want you to go to Aunt Elizabeth in Ein Karem. 50:19.521 --> 50:21.896
She is seven months with child, 50:21.979 --> 50:25.354
at a great age, like I once was. 50:26.021 --> 50:27.813
Another miracle of faith. 50:28.688 --> 50:29.979 You'll be safe there.
50:30.063 --> 50:32.063 Mama, I can't leave here again, please.
50:32.146 --> 50:33.438 Mary, I know. 50:36.188 --> 50:39.021
But you must go now. You must go. 50:40.396 --> 50:43.188 [dramatic music]
50:50.646 --> 50:52.521 [horse nickers] 50:56.271 --> 50:57.854 Hyah!
51:04.896 --> 51:06.688 [bleating] 51:10.771 --> 51:12.688
This is a wonderful surprise. 51:15.188 --> 51:18.521 You journeyed all this way
from the temple just to visit us? 51:19.188 --> 51:21.521 I went home first
and then Mama sent me here. 51:21.604 --> 51:23.021 I hope I'm not a burden.
51:23.104 --> 51:26.229 This child in my womb jumps at the sound of your voice.
51:35.021 --> 51:36.063 Mary… 51:39.646 --> 51:41.271
Are you too with child, dear? 51:44.438 --> 51:45.604 Yes, I am.
51:50.063 --> 51:52.146 You are the revelation. 51:55.271 --> 51:57.604
Blessed are you among women. 51:58.313 --> 52:00.438 Blessed is this child.
52:03.604 --> 52:05.104 Sweet girl. 52:05.729 --> 52:07.646
Stay as long as you need. 52:09.146 --> 52:09.979 Thank you.
52:11.771 --> 52:13.563 Why were you not grateful, Mariamne?
52:13.646 --> 52:17.604 Grateful for the marvels we created,
for the children we raised, for the… 52:18.979 --> 52:20.146 …love we shared?
52:24.021 --> 52:25.521 Why was it never enough for you? 52:27.604 --> 52:28.563
And you. 52:30.563 --> 52:34.688 How did you become this thing,
this creature of darkness? 52:35.479 --> 52:37.188
You were not well-born, were you? 52:38.188 --> 52:39.729
Not like her, not like… 52:42.229 --> 52:43.313 Mariamne.
52:44.146 --> 52:47.104 But you did seek to enhance and improve yourself
52:47.188 --> 52:50.688 and the unwashed kingdom of your reign.
52:51.938 --> 52:53.813 You did seek beauty, and yes, you…
52:55.188 --> 52:57.313 made some beautiful things. 52:59.854 --> 53:03.688
But it was your family, Mariamne, your family, not mine, who debased me.
53:21.896 --> 53:24.771 [chickens clucking] 53:29.979 --> 53:31.313 [chuckles]
53:33.271 --> 53:35.646 Hi! May I hold him? 53:35.729 --> 53:36.771 Yes.
53:39.479 --> 53:41.021 Oh… 53:41.104 --> 53:42.229 Hi, John.
53:43.688 --> 53:45.479 [John babbling] 53:48.063 --> 53:49.313
It comes easily to you. 53:54.646 --> 53:56.021 I don't know if I'm ready.
53:56.813 --> 53:59.063 You have found peace here, no? 54:01.229 --> 54:02.229
I have. 54:04.479 --> 54:07.354 You must confront this
with your family behind you. 54:08.063 --> 54:09.438 More than ever,
54:10.438 --> 54:12.896 you are going to need them by your side.
54:13.729 --> 54:14.563 Father. 54:16.063 --> 54:17.063 You will face him.
54:17.813 --> 54:19.229 [man] Elizabeth! 54:19.313 --> 54:20.938 Oh, that voice.
54:21.021 --> 54:22.854 [man] Oh, there you are. 54:22.938 --> 54:25.604
-We have to leave for the market. -[Elizabeth] Yes, yes. 54:28.229 --> 54:30.354
I didn't think I was ready either. 54:31.896 --> 54:33.854 -[baby coos] -Mmm.
54:35.604 --> 54:37.688 Trust the strength inside you. 54:42.438 --> 54:46.688
[men chattering, laughing] 54:48.104 --> 54:49.646 What are they talking about?
54:49.729 --> 54:53.063 Fool. They're talking about you. 54:55.396 --> 54:56.229

the prophecies, they speak of the coming Messiah. 01:14:23.229 --> 01:14:24.313
So you believe in these things. 01:14:24.396 --> 01:14:26.646
You believe in the star and the savior, correct? 01:14:26.729 --> 01:14:27.563
Indeed. 01:14:27.646 --> 01:14:30.854 And you believe in the dust
blown on the wind of dreams 01:14:30.938 --> 01:14:32.729
across the waters of the moon? 01:14:32.813 --> 01:14:37.104

01:14:37.188 --> 01:14:38.021 Yes? 01:14:39.146 --> 01:14:42.479
You see, I make things, real things. 01:14:42.563 --> 01:14:45.063
Uh, beautiful things, or so I've been told, 01:14:45.146 --> 01:14:49.938
of iron and bronze and gold and fortresses and temples and theaters and cities.
01:14:51.146 --> 01:14:53.563 They call me the king of the thing.
01:14:54.313 --> 01:14:55.771 [chuckles] Shh. 01:14:55.854 --> 01:15:00.313
So I ask you, what need have we of a Messiah? 01:15:01.521 --> 01:15:02.354 Huh?
01:15:14.604 --> 01:15:16.104 [overlapping chatter]
01:15:18.854 --> 01:15:20.438 [chickens clucking] 01:15:22.188 --> 01:15:23.354

01:15:29.979 --> 01:15:31.688 Something else is happening.
01:15:31.771 --> 01:15:35.563 [overlapping chatter]
