00:00While surveying the site of some ancient ruins, two young archaeologists, Derek and Margo,

00:26and their nomad friend, Mokey, find themselves trapped and sinking in a whirling pool of

00:40sand.

00:42And when the dust settles, they stare up in awe at a vast chamber filled with giant relics

00:48and artifacts from another civilization.

00:53And there, at the far end of the cavern, a door with a strange inscription.

00:57All who enter these portals pass through time.

01:23Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey,

02:33Whoa! Whoa!

02:35Look out!

02:36Too late!

02:40Are you all right? Anything hurt?

02:42No, but I'm all wet.

02:44And we lost our transportation.

02:47Anything I can do? A ride, perhaps?

02:50You must be a magician.

02:52By coincidence, that's exactly what I am.

02:57They call me Enoch the Enchanter.

03:00My carnival of wandering entertainment is on its way to the greatest city of the Chaldean Empire, Babylon.

03:06Babylon?

03:09Yes, indeed. Tonight we play before King Belshazzar himself.

03:14The King of Babylon himself?

03:17Well, not just himself, exactly. He's throwing a little party for a thousand of his intimate friends.

03:23Can you imagine? The King of Babylon!

03:27I might be able to get you hired on as servants for the party.

03:30You'll have to carry a lot, but then you'll get to eat a lot.

03:33That's my kind of job.

03:35Enoch, we've got to get rid of Terribulus.

03:38He's the most vicious, untrainable beast I've ever seen.

03:41I can sell him in Babylon to the lion pit where they throw the criminals.

03:45They do what?

03:49They toss criminals into a pit of hungry lions.

03:53And then what?

03:56And then the lions aren't hungry anymore.

04:01And neither are the criminals.

04:05It's the perfect place for a killer like you, Terribulus.

04:13Babylon.

04:15Look! The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

04:19One of the Seven Wonders of the World.

04:23The seven-story ziggurat may have been the Tower of Babel.

04:28Wow!

04:53Look! There's Daniel, the prophet.

04:56A great wise man.

04:59Wow! Babylon's got everything!

05:02I just remembered something awful.

05:05Babylon was always being fought over.

05:08It was destroyed a couple of times.

05:10Oh, no.

05:12Don't tell me we're arriving here just in time for war.

05:15Yes. And we're in the city that loses.

05:18Relax, guys. Look around.

05:20See? Nobody's worried.

05:22Life in Babylon seems to be...

05:24One big party after another. I can't take it anymore, I tell you.

05:28The pressure is just unbearable.

05:30And I have to do everything myself.

05:33You just can't get good help anymore.

05:35And those three, they won't do.

05:39They won't do it all.

05:40Oh, but they will, Sigal.

05:42They are friends of mine. I guarantee them.

05:44Well, this is the last favor I do for you.

05:48But if you embarrass me tonight, I'll have your hides.

05:52I'll have your hide right now, Sigal.

05:55The king! Oh, my.

05:58Belshazzar, the king of Babylon.

06:01You call this goblet fit for my guests and my wine?

06:06I want gold. I want silver.

06:09Something glorious. Something worthy of me.

06:14Gold? Silver? Well, at this late hour, my lord, how is...

06:19Your Majesty, did we not take many gold and silver cups from the Jews' temple in Jerusalem?

06:26But those are sacred religious...

06:29Excellent.

06:30Excellent cups. Yes, yes, indeed.

06:33Get them from my storage room, Sigal.

06:35I've got to meet the king.

06:37You'll meet him tonight.

06:39No.

06:44Ah, hi, king.

06:46Your Majesty, our new servant. An ex-new servant. You're fired.

06:51No. No, we are tolerant.

06:53Just see it doesn't happen tonight.

06:56One thing about Margo, she sure makes a smashing first impression.

07:14I... I don't like this.

07:18There.

07:21They're beautiful.

07:23I am not a Jew, but I know these are religious vessels stolen from their temple.

07:29I... I have no choice. No choice at all.

07:32To use them for Belshazzar's party tonight is an insult to their gods.

07:38To use them for Belshazzar's party tonight is an insult to their god.

07:43A profane insult.

08:09Look out!

08:27Margo!

08:29Ah!

08:34And now I shall make the honey cake disappear.

08:42Ah!

08:43Ah!

08:57Have you ever seen anything like this?

09:00Never. I've got to talk to the king somehow.

09:04Table 781, table 601, table 834, table 3...

09:08Those two go to the king.

09:10This is my last chance. We'll take those.

09:13No, not you.

09:16No, no.

09:40Ooh!

09:45Not a bad little get-together, eh?

09:47Our king is sure to be a king of reverie.

09:50Yes, nothing else has turned our jewel of a city into a playground for fools.

09:56Indeed. Babylon could be taken by an army of jackasses.

10:00Oh, king! King Belshazzar!

10:03I want to make a toast to the god of gold.

10:07Wow! Look out!

10:09Oh!

10:10Oh, no!

10:13At last, some real entertainment!

10:17All praise the god of gold!

10:20Praise the god of gold!

10:22And silver!

10:24Praise the god of silver!

10:26And brass!

10:27And iron!

10:28And wood!

10:29And stone!

10:30And gold! Gold!

10:32Ah!

10:33Ah!

10:38Ah!

10:44A hand! A hand!

10:46Look!

10:47Something in the air!

10:49Oh, God! Writing on the wall! It's a trick!

10:52What is it writing? Oh, God save us!

11:03Huh?

11:08Oh, no!

11:18What does it say? What does it mean?

11:21Astrologers? Magicians?

11:24My lord, we are as puzzled as everyone.

11:28You tell him, Enoch. You're a magician.

11:30I'll give a scarlet robe and a golden chain to the one who tells me what the writing means.

11:36I'll make him third ruler of my kingdom!

11:39Oh, listen to that. Go on.

11:41No, Mokey. I'm just an entertainer doing tricks.

11:45That handwriting is the work of God. Only someone chosen by God can give its meaning.

11:50Someone like Daniel.

11:51My son, call Daniel.

11:54Mother! Daniel?

11:56A Jewish captive, my lord.

11:59His wisdom and prophecies were highly honored by the last king, your father.

12:04Oh, yes. Daniel.

12:10Mine. Mine. Take well. Parish.

12:15These words were written by the hand of God.

12:19Belshazzar, you have blasphemed!

12:22You praised the gods of gold and silver and toasted them with sacred vessels.

12:29I knew it! I knew it!

12:31Hear the meaning of the writing.

12:34The days of your kingdom are numbered. It is over.

12:39God declares your kingdom is at an end.

12:42You and Babylon have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

13:02The last word means your kingdom will be divided

13:06between the Medes and Persians and you, King Belshazzar!

13:11Yes?

13:12Are finished!

13:14Well, I don't believe a word of it.

13:17But give him the robe and chain,

13:20and all hail Daniel, third ruler of this short-lived kingdom!

13:32Look!

13:34The Persian army! An hour away!

13:37King Darius approaches the gates with an army!

13:51I will not flee. Darius will find me waiting in my chambers.

13:56I will not flee. Darius will find me waiting in my chambers.

14:01Unless someone else finds him first.

14:11King is slain.

14:13It is true, my lords.

14:16Then, as the third ruler of Babylon, Daniel,

14:19I suggest you join Alreth and me in welcoming Darius at the gate.

14:24He may let us live.

14:28And the prophecies of Daniel came true.

14:31Belshazzar died at the hands of evil conspirators,

14:34and Darius the Mede became king.

14:37The new king found favor with Daniel,

14:39which served only to upset the other two governors.

14:43Help me return this city to greatness, will you, Daniel?

14:47With God's help, I will, Darius.

14:49So will we all, King Darius.

14:52I bid you good night, then.

15:03Alreth, if we wish to keep things running our way,

15:07we shall have to get rid of Daniel.

15:09Agreed. Darius thinks too highly of him. Daniel must go.

15:13Someone's in there! They heard us!

15:16Guards! Guards!

15:18After them!

15:23That way!

15:37Come on! I saw this in a movie once!

15:53There they are!

15:54I twisted my ankle!

15:56Sorry, that never happens in the movies!

15:58We've got to hide somewhere, fast!

16:03In here, quickly!

16:14Be very careful with him.

16:16Terribulus is the strongest, meanest lion you'll ever see.

16:20A born man, he said.

16:22Good. I've got just the place for him.

16:46It's been three days.

16:48See? It's fine now. It doesn't hurt at all.

16:51Shh! Daniel's praying.

16:54Thank you, Mokey.

16:56But when I'm at my prayers, nothing can disturb me.

16:59Margo wants to go out with us. Are you sure we're safe?

17:02Absolutely.

17:04Now, Beezer and Alreth never saw who they were chasing in the dark.

17:08Why don't you do something about those two guys?

17:11We told you they're out to get you.

17:13I appreciate the warning, Mokey, but God will protect me.

17:16Meanwhile, Darius needs them.

17:18And me, apparently.

17:20I must go.

17:28Hey, guys! Come on!

17:30Some creepy guy is following Daniel! Let's go!

17:35I am sorry, but Daniel does no wrong.

17:38He even prays three times a day.

17:40Then we'll make praying a crime.

17:43What?

17:44Yes. I'll get Darius to sign a law.

17:47For 30 days, no one will be allowed to ask anything of any god or man

17:54except King Darius.

17:56Whoever does, whoever prays, for example,

17:59will be thrown into the lion's den.

18:02Terrible, despicable traitors.

18:05There they are! Guards! Guards!

18:07I'll get to Darius. You get them.

18:09Come on. This way to the Hanging Gardens.

18:14There they are!

18:25So you say for 30 days, no one can ask favors of anyone but me?

18:31Yes. Out of respect for you, we will forsake all others, god or man.

18:37Anyone breaking the law will be guilty of blatant disrespect for you and your authority.

18:42We can't have that, can we?

18:44No, sire. And as punishment, they'll be thrown to the lions.

18:50No!

18:52Duck!

18:53Missed again!

18:59The royal seal, sire. It is now irrevocable law.

19:03Your law honors me greatly, Nebiza. I thank you.

19:07And I, you, my lord.

19:10Let's forget him.

19:12I've had enough for one day.

19:14Yes, I know about the new law, but I will still pray to my god.

19:19That's what they're counting on. So do it in secret.

19:22Not by the window where they can see you.

19:25I am proud of my god. Why should I hide my worship of him?

19:30To save your life.

19:33Don't move. You're under arrest.

19:41No, not Daniel. Not you.

19:44The law is the law and must be obeyed, sire, even by kings.

19:49Don't fear for me, Darius. My god will protect me.

19:53I know that as surely as I know you were deceived when you signed this law.

19:58That's true. I will return at sunrise.

20:02Throw him in!

20:07Daniel!

20:09Daniel!

20:17This will be over fast. They have not been fed for weeks.

20:22Oh, lord. If this servant is worthy, send an angel to protect him

20:27so he can continue to do your work and sing your praise.

20:52Praise god, I am protected by an angel of the lord.

21:06Roll away the stone!

21:08Heave!

21:12Daniel! Daniel!

21:14He's not moving. He's...

21:17He's waking up. He was asleep with the lions.

21:20Daniel, you are blessed.

21:23Guards, arrest governors Nebisa and Aldrath.

21:26Bring them here. We'll see if they are so blessed.

21:30Daniel, not a mark on you, beloved Daniel.

21:34Your god is the lord.

21:36Daniel!

21:37They are so blessed.

21:39Daniel, not a mark on you, beloved Daniel.

21:43Your god is the living god, a worker of wonders.

21:47Then spread the word, Darius.

21:49Tell all your people of the greatness of the god of Daniel.

21:52Let the word of god ring out through all your kingdom.

21:56I will, Daniel. I promise you, I will.

22:01Praise god. Praise god.

22:03I will never forget this day.

22:05But now, I fear I must go.

22:08And we must go too.

22:10Come on.

22:11Coming!

22:12Wow, what a pack of hungry lions.

22:24Help!

22:36Thanks. That lion was trying to put a bite on me.

22:43And the same to you, big fella.

22:48Then king Darius wrote a decree for all people to fear and reverence the god of Daniel.

22:54For he is the living god and his kingdom endures forever.

22:58He delivers and rescues.

23:00He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth.

23:04And it was he who saved Daniel from the power of the lion.

23:34The End
