00:00What is that supposed to mean?
00:30Well, who is and who isn't?
00:41I have earnestly desired to eat this meal with you before I suffer.
00:46This is our last Passover together on this earth before we celebrate it again when all is fulfilled in the new kingdom.
00:57I would ask how long that will be.
01:00But I know the answer.
01:04You will understand.
01:07But first.
01:08Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.
01:28Amen.
01:29Normally, this bread is to remember and celebrate our redemption from Egypt into the promised land.
01:51From slavery into freedom.
01:54Tonight, we celebrate your redemption from sin because of me.
02:02Take and eat it.
02:12This is my body, which is given for you.
02:18Do this in remembrance of me.
02:23Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
02:48Amen.
02:49Amen.
02:50Amen.
02:51Amen.
02:52Amen.
02:53Amen.
02:54Amen.
02:55Amen.
02:56Amen.
02:57Whatever.
02:58Yea, grace può again.
02:59Amen.
03:00Amen.
03:02That is not so nice.
03:03I don't see anybody in town, but we can terribly share our defended dominion and celebrate the blood of the Lamb spread out on the doorposts of our ancestors.
03:05Likewise, this is my blood of the new covenant,
03:12shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
03:18Drink it, all of you, in remembrance of me.
03:35I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser.
03:50Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away,
03:55and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
04:04Abide in me, and I in you.
04:09As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine,
04:15neither can you unless you abide in me.
04:21I am the vine, you are the branches.
04:27Whoever abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.
04:34For apart from me, you can do nothing.
04:39If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch, and withers.
04:46And the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
04:53If you abide in me, and my words in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done.
05:03By this, my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
05:12As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.
05:22Abide in my love.
05:24These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
05:45Rabbi, what are you smiling at?
06:09It's nothing.
06:17It's just that, uh...
06:28Rabbi...
06:29Earlier, I may have washed some of your feet.
06:45But not all of you are clean.
06:48What are you saying?
06:53The scripture has now been fulfilled.
06:56He who has eaten my bread has lifted his heel against me.
07:05What?
07:11Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.
07:19Someone at this very table.
07:22Someone in this room?
07:26Who?
07:27Who?
07:30One of you brothers?
07:33Who?
07:35Tell us who, and we will bind him, and gag him, and throw him in the pit so he can't do it.
07:40The Son of Man goes as it is written of him.
07:47But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man has betrayed.
07:53It would have been better for him if he had never been born.
07:57Just say who it is, and we'll make sure that man wishes he'd never been born.
08:06He'd never been born.
08:22I need a moment.
08:23I need a moment.
08:47What's happening?
08:48Hundreds.
08:51We have to pass from Mother.
08:57Oh boy.
09:09Oh, child, come on in, jump in the water
09:16Got no trouble with a mess you've been
09:19Walk on the water
09:22Walk on the water
09:27Walk on the water
09:33Oh, child, walk on the water
09:39Got no trouble with a mess you've been
09:44Walk on the water
09:45Walk on the water
09:51And according to our treasurer report,
09:59the additional days needed to complete the columns
10:02in that section of Solomon's Porch
10:04will result in a 14% increase over the original cost estimate.
10:09The Temple Renovation Committee unanimously approved the spending,
10:13although I'm sure to the surprise of none of you,
10:17Rabban Ozem required some convincing.
10:21All right, all right.
10:23From what I understand, there is no additional business for today.
10:27This meeting is adjourned.
10:32Rabbi Nicodemus, welcome back.
10:37I trust your time was fruitful.
10:39Oh, yes, yes.
10:41Good to be back, Ozem.
10:42Did the students in Bethel show enough appreciation for the teacher of teachers?
10:50Yes, they were lovely, but I'm sure they were glad to be rid of me.
10:56I'll see you in the morning for the committee meeting, yes?
10:59Yes, yes, of course.
11:05It should be well.
11:08Rabbi Nicodemus, welcome back.
11:12It's good to be back.
11:14I understand congratulations are in order.
11:18I'm sorry I wasn't here to officially welcome you.
11:21It's an honor to be part of it.
11:24Yes, well...
11:27Shalom, shalom.
11:32Shalom, shalom.
11:33I've filled your quarters in less than an hour, Rabbi Nicodemus,
11:36so I have to stop by the Education and Labor Committee meeting first.
11:39I'll talk to you soon.
11:40Yes.
11:44And it's good to see you again.
11:47Good to see you.
11:48The vote to approve the Sabbath law adjustment proposal was actually less contentious than I expected.
11:57You would have been surprised at the cooperation of some of our Sadducean friends, even Gidera.
12:08Let me see, what else?
12:10Just a highlight, Sepadai?
12:12Understood.
12:14Agricultural and Food Committee are still working on their Jatapata analysis.
12:18The Ritual Purity Committee has decided that...
12:22All right, you don't need an update on that.
12:24Let me see.
12:27I will say, I saw you talking to Shmuel today.
12:31His inauguration day was quite something.
12:34Shmai gave the welcome speech, and you really sang his praises,
12:38giving him credit for some of the events leading to the death of the baptizer from Galilee.
12:43Now, President Shimon raised a ruckus about that whole business.
12:47Death?
12:47Of who?
12:49The baptizer?
12:51John Bar Zechariah.
12:52You know, the one who Herod had in prison.
12:54Of course I know who he is.
12:55I encountered him directly in Capernaum.
12:59He's dead?
13:00Beheaded by Herod's court.
13:02It was a whole sordid tale.
13:04You hadn't heard?
13:06No.
13:06How did you encounter him?
13:09And did he call you a viper, too?
13:11No, no, not quite.
13:14But he was certainly a character.
13:17I visited him in prison there.
13:20Beheaded?
13:21That was the story.
13:23He had a cousin in Capernaum.
13:26A teacher who was amassing a following, doing signs and wonders.
13:31Yes, Jesus Bar Joseph.
13:34You know the name?
13:34Yes, he was the focus of the larger discussion.
13:38Caiaphas ended up giving a whole speech about him.
13:41Caiaphas?
13:42How did this get to Caiaphas?
13:44He's a rabbi all the way in Capernaum.
13:46Your Bethel trip was too long, Rabbi.
13:50Jesus has been traveling all over, and these so-called signs and wonders you mentioned have bedeviled the people.
13:57He's the most popular messiah claimant in a while.
14:01Shmuel had a whole damning report about him.
14:03Caiaphas had issued an edict empowering district leaders to bring him in for questioning for false prophecy, blasphemy, a litany of charges.
14:11I can't believe you missed all this.
14:13You met him?
14:13That's all for today, Zebediah.
14:17Thank you for your report.
14:19I'll see you in the morning.
14:22Of course.
14:22Is everything all right?
14:23Yes, yes.
14:24It's just been a long day.
14:26Give Rebecca my regards.
14:33And you the same to Zahara.
14:34We'll have to have dinner soon.
14:36Yes, yes.
14:37I'll have Matthias set it up.
14:39Shalom, shalom.
14:39Shalom, shalom.
14:43Matthias?
14:45Yes, rabbi?
14:46I want you to drop everything you're doing and listen to me carefully.
14:50I have an assignment for you.
14:53Mary of Magdala.
14:56Have you been looking for me?
14:58Yes.
14:59Teacher, it's you.
15:00Please, keep your voice down.
15:03Not everyone in this house is awake.
15:05Why so secretive?
15:07Why didn't your men just tell me they were with you?
15:09I am so sorry, but we had no choice.
15:11I don't know what is in your head at the moment.
15:15How zealous you and the others are and what you will say and to whom.
15:19You've not been discreet lately, and I need to be.
15:21Discreet?
15:22You're in the Sanhedrin.
15:24Where is this place?
15:25This is my home.
15:26But you don't need to know where.
15:28This city is crawling with spies, agents, and informers.
15:31I don't know why you've been so difficult to reach.
15:33I've really needed your help.
15:35Where have you been?
15:36Mary, it is very dangerous what you are doing.
15:40You were wise not to ask for me by name, but it was clear to us what you were up to.
15:45Who is us?
15:46You've had spies.
15:47Not spies, just keeping track.
15:50And your behavior could well have accelerated his demise.
15:54Accelerated?
15:55No, no, you're getting bad information.
15:57We've been on the run from the moment we arrived.
16:01Jesus has not passed up a single opportunity to make an enemy.
16:04I'm curious to know why you think that is.
16:07I'm sorry?
16:08Why is he doing this?
16:09Why is he systematically turning allies into enemies?
16:13You know him?
16:15You've seen him challenge authority before?
16:17He won't shrink just because...
16:18Mary, this is something more.
16:20I will read you his own words.
16:23How?
16:23My watchman was observing and taking notes.
16:27This from just two days ago, you know, when he upended the marketplace and the temple.
16:33Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you are like whitewashed tombs who outwardly
16:43appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and uncleanness.
16:49So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
17:00Doesn't exactly sound like an invitation to join him, does it?
17:03How long have you been tracking him?
17:06Long enough.
17:07I don't understand.
17:08You've seen us.
17:10You've been watching all of us?
17:13Tell me why I shouldn't be very uncomfortable with all of this.
17:16He was only doing what I asked him to do.
17:18I've not seen Jesus since Capernaum, but when news reached Jerusalem that he was claiming
17:23to be the Christ, I had to.
17:26You had to what, spy?
17:27Mary, I brought you here under duress, so I'm trying to be patient with your loose words.
17:34But you need to listen.
17:36I teach Torah and the foundations of our faith to students all over Israel.
17:41Now, please try to understand the immense responsibility for our people that I feel on my shoulders from Adonai himself.
17:50Every year, from every region, someone comes along claiming to be the Messiah and trying to sway our people and mislead them.
17:59Now, most of them are crushed for their false prophecy, and we never even hear of them.
18:03But when someone like Jesus achieves this level of influence over these many people, performing these kinds of signs and wonders,
18:13all the while claiming to be the Christ and asserting his authority over the law and leaders of our people,
18:20I have a sacred duty to prove him wrong.
18:26What did you see?
18:28What did he report to you?
18:30You've met him yourself. I helped arrange it.
18:34I'm sure you saw who he is as well.
18:37What did he see?
18:42He saw the eyes of the blind opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped,
18:47the lame man leaping like, like a deer,
18:53and the tongue of the mutants singing for joy.
18:56Isaiah.
18:57The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.
19:02Those that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
19:08I love that one.
19:09But you, O Bethlehem, too little to be among the clan of Judah.
19:13From you shall come forth for me, one who is to be ruler of Israel.
19:18One who is coming forth is from of old.
19:23From ancient days.
19:28Do you now know he is the one who fulfills these prophecies?
19:31I prayed he wouldn't.
19:33I needed him to be a fraud.
19:35But I have seen too much.
19:37I know the feeling.
19:40And you saw Lazarus.
19:47So why haven't you told this to the others?
19:50Why have you been absent?
19:52I've been told you've not been seen in Sanhedrin at all lately.
19:55Apart from my present condition, there is the question of trying to get anything done in the Sanhedrin,
20:02let alone the intricacies of money and politics and fear that guide most of them and govern their decisions.
20:09And when it comes to false prophecy, that is a wall I cannot climb.
20:15I've been looking for you because he needs your help.
20:19Why have you been wanting to talk to me if not to help?
20:22To warn you and for you to warn him that he's in danger.
20:27The message received.
20:30But for whatever reason, he's clearly not running from that danger.
20:36So now I'm asking you to help eliminate it.
20:40Your wisdom and strength led you to pursue Jesus in Capernaum when your colleagues wouldn't have ever considered it.
20:48I don't know what happened after that.
20:50That's between you and him.
20:52But I know you know the truth.
20:57And I'm asking you to do anything you can.
21:03Mary, please try to...
21:06Please!
21:10Please!
21:31Nicodemus, there is something else I wanted to say to you.
21:37For what?
21:42For trying.
21:45That day the Romans brought you to my place in the Red Quarter.
21:50It must have been very uncomfortable for you.
21:53And scary for anyone.
21:56I'm so grateful you at least made the attempt.
21:59I should have told you that the day we spoke in the market.
22:06And I know coming to the Red Quarter didn't initially turn out the way you had hoped.
22:13But look what it led to.
22:18You're welcome.
22:22But I had nothing to do with who you are today.
22:27Your change is just as convincing as the prophecies of who he is.
22:35I don't know what else I can do, but I will search Torah.
22:38Zohara, perhaps the scriptures will reveal to us what is in store for him.
22:43Zohara, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you.
23:01Niko, you don't have to speak loudly for me to be stirred by your spirit, like I have been for months.
23:09I've been studying in earnest.
23:11There are things about my position that...
23:13Come in here.
23:14Zohara, you don't understand...
23:15Come.
23:26I have been with you for 60 years.
23:29Don't try to educate me on your position as though I'm the teenager I was when we married.
23:35You can prepare for your lectures in your sleep.
23:38You don't need this level of research.
23:40You haven't finished a meal in weeks without abandoning the table.
23:44And me.
23:45For these scrolls.
23:47You're losing weight.
23:49You can barely hold yourself up since Matthias burst in a week ago, whispering frantically.
23:55I am not deaf and blind, Niko.
24:01We have to talk.
24:04We will.
24:04I...
24:05I just...
24:09Can't...
24:11Yet.
24:13I'm sorry.
24:20Please, sit down.
24:22Can we serve you something to do?
24:24We are not the same.
24:26I don't know what Shmuel has told you, but you should know now that you and I are not the same.
24:33That's certainly the case.
24:34I'm the anointed high priest of Israel who represents the nation before God.
24:39The only human on earth allowed to enter the Holy of Holies.
24:44And you, on the other hand, are...
24:47Helping to save your people.
24:51I assure you, I've not been brought here under false pretenses.
24:55I can deliver him to you.
24:58But you must know something.
24:59I do believe that Jesus is most likely the Messiah.
25:04Why?
25:06Why what?
25:09Why do you believe that?
25:14I've seen too much.
25:15Then why are you doing this?
25:21I suppose I have not seen enough.
25:24Ah.
25:25Hence the...
25:27Most likely.
25:28Hopefully, we'll get to see it this week.
25:30If, when you take him into custody, he effortlessly destroys his captors, leads us to victory over Rome, and takes his rightful place on the throne of David, then I'll be celebrating with the rest of our people.
25:45You are utterly out of your depth.
25:50I disagree.
25:51Marcus, Shmuel, will you give us the room?
25:54I do not appreciate being spoken to in such a manner, young man.
26:07Well, if you change your mind about needing his whereabouts, just let me know.
26:11Sit down!
26:12We are not finished.
26:24This isn't complicated, your honor.
26:28You need information.
26:29And I am the only one capable and willing to give it to you.
26:39All we have to agree on is a price.
26:4720 pieces of silver.
26:49Don't insult me.
26:5640.
26:5725.
26:5838.
27:0330 pieces of silver.
27:07Final offer.
27:10Equivalent of four months' wages.
27:15That is the price of a slave.
27:19And I will not live like one while I'm looking for a new job.
27:2235.
27:2330 pieces of silver is my final offer, and a slave is about what Jesus is worth to me now.
27:33You have no leverage, Judas.
27:36I'm your only buyer.
27:38And I'm your only seller.
27:39The Temple Guard have sophisticated methods of extracting information, if you'd like.
27:51Or you can just take the money.
28:00I have one condition.
28:02I'm listening.
28:03I will provide an opportunity for you to arrest him, only in the absence of a crowd.
28:10He is more powerful than you, and you know it.
28:14The people will riot.
28:15If we do this stealthily, we can avoid an uprising.
28:21Retribution from Rome.
28:22And a ruined Passover holiday.
28:25I thought you said if he's arrested, he'll use his divine powers to strike down his adversaries.
28:32Could be the best Passover of all, wouldn't it?
28:35If he is who he says he is.
28:39If he's not.
28:39Thirty pieces of silver will be of no use to me when Pilate brutalizes us for disturbing the peace and inciting a revolt.
28:53I have a condition as well.
28:58You have 24 hours to deliver him over to us.
29:04Time is of the essence.
29:09Deal.
29:1524 hours.
29:17You're an only son.
29:20I'm sorry?
29:21You're an only son of an only son, and he's passed away.
29:27I've given all your information, Judas.
29:29You're the last of the Iscariots.
29:35Yes.
29:35Unless you survive all this and have a son, this could be your best chance for your family name to be remembered.
29:46Don't look so downtrodden.
29:48This is an opportunity.
29:52Now, go.
29:54Deliver on your promise.
29:56You have no right to hold me here without explanation.
30:23What crimes have I committed?
30:24I have the right to speak to my legal representative.
30:28My friend, those rights are granted to citizens of the Roman Empire, of which you decidedly are not.
30:37Who are you?
30:39The one asking the questions.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:41Yes.
30:42Yes.
30:43Yes.
30:44Yes.
30:45Yes.
30:46Yes.
30:47Yes.
30:48Yes.
30:49Yes.
30:50Yes.
30:51Yes.
30:52Yes.
30:53Yes.
30:54Yes.
30:54You arrived from the North three days ago, bringing with you a small militia of malcontents.
31:03You have since grown in numbers, amassed weapons, sharpened resentments, and convened a veritable
31:12serpent's den of aggressors who remind me of zealots, but lack sophistication and training.
31:18The zealots, you know, they're a pain.
31:23But they have a precision and a clarity of purpose that makes them in some ways predictable.
31:29Well, they at least know what they're doing, and therefore so do we.
31:33But you are not precise.
31:36You are reckless and messy and disorganized.
31:41It was all too easy to find you out to get in here and put you in that chair.
31:46So, it's my understanding that Jews have made a pilgrimage to this city to observe a solemn holiday of remembrance.
31:54Hmm?
31:55Hmm?
31:56I might be getting that wrong.
31:59From what I can tell, there's only one person acting up around here this week.
32:05Someone about whom so many people have such intense feelings and opinions, both good and bad.
32:13He's the only figure at the moment toward whom a man like you could stir up so much animosity.
32:23Tell me something, Kaffney.
32:26Hi, you.
32:29Everybody's got an opinion about Jesus.
32:32But what about yours led to all this?
32:39You're not a holy man.
32:44Achus be praised.
32:46You own land and wine country.
32:50He killed my daughter.
32:53If Jesus the Nazarene had committed murder, believe me, I'd know about it.
32:58How?
32:59You're not God.
33:00Let's leave God out of this.
33:02Honestly, I find the topic exhausting.
33:04What more do you want to know?
33:06All right.
33:10I'll bite.
33:11Fine.
33:12How'd he kill your daughter?
33:13He seduced her.
33:14He really doesn't strike me as the romantic type.
33:16Not romantically.
33:17Spiritually.
33:18For God's sake, what did I just say about God?
33:21He performed a magic trick at a wedding that made her so grateful and awed and entranced that she became more loyal to him than me.
33:34Hades and Styx.
33:36That's the pettiest thing I've ever heard.
33:37She left a promising career as a wine vintner to join his pathetic roving band.
33:44Wayfaring around the upper Galilee, whipping crowds into frenzies over his teachings and sorceries.
33:54Until, until one of those crowds devolved into a stampede and she was run through with a sword.
34:05By whom?
34:06The Roman praetor of Capernaum.
34:13Uh-huh.
34:16So a Roman praetor killed your daughter, not Jesus.
34:18You are dissembling, Kaphne.
34:20She would never have been near Capernaum or anything resembling that situation if not for him.
34:26And he has not been held accountable.
34:27She had free will, didn't she?
34:29No one was forcing her to travel around with this Jesus, were they?
34:32One of Jesus' other followers, a former employee of mine, beguiled her with his youthful charm
34:39and lured her into the notion of marriage without my consent.
34:42I thought it didn't work that way with you people.
34:44There are loopholes.
34:46The law is complicated.
34:48Did your daughter ever say anything to you about avenging her death if something were to happen to her?
34:52It's what any father would do.
34:53Why haven't you attempted vengeance against the Roman praetor?
34:56He was fired and sent away, hanged for all I know.
35:02Why are you looking at me like that?
35:06Oh, I don't know.
35:07It seems like you're under the impression that you could have done something more to prevent this.
35:12To protect your daughter, to save her.
35:15And instead of facing your guilt like a man, or dealing with your grief, you've decided to look for someone to blame.
35:23You don't know me.
35:24You don't know what's in my heart.
35:26You can't get directly to the praetor who did the deed, so now you've moved on to, frankly, an easy target.
35:34Oh.
35:35He's not an easy target.
35:37Let's find out.
35:38What?
35:39I don't have any children, but the way you've decided to make your daughter's untimely death all about yourself repulses me.
35:48However, your murderous commitment to alleviating your guilty conscience may prove useful to my purposes.
36:00What purposes?
36:02I have a proposal for you, Kofni.
36:06Instead of arresting you for unlawful assembly, possession of illegal weapons, incitement to violence, conspiracy to commit murder, and possibly insurrection, to name only a few, I will supply you with information regarding Jesus' whereabouts.
36:22What has he done to you?
36:25Pay attention, please.
36:28The only thing that's required to keep you out of jail, or worse, is that you continue to spread your venom to anyone who listen.
36:38Let me explain this to you in a way you might understand.
36:41Keep doing what you're doing.
36:44Try to turn the tide of public opinion against Jesus and quid pro quo.
36:54Right.
36:55In exchange, I'll keep holes out of your hands and feet.
37:00Holes.
37:04We're finished here.
37:08So what now?
37:09Now, we wait.
37:13For what?
37:14For the light of day.
37:43Oh, my God.
38:13The people who walked in darkness have seen the great light.
38:26Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
38:41Thank you for that.
38:59Here.
39:01That's over.
39:02It begins in eight hours.
39:04One last thorough search.
39:06There cannot be even a single speck of leaven anywhere in the house.
39:11Tova, I want you to boil water and fire up the ovens to heat the surfaces of the kitchen and kill any remaining hametz.
39:18Yes, Marcus.
39:19Then, Shechem Hala, I want you to look for the crumbs under every cushion.
39:23Search every pocket of every robe in the closet.
39:26Pour boiling water over every platter, cup, utensil, dish, or a knife that has even come close to a piece of bread in the last year.
39:35Governor?
39:36Can I help you, sir?
39:37What do you intend to do with Jesus of Nazareth?
39:40The hug's a mare to you too, Pontius.
39:41I don't observe this holiday.
39:42No kidding.
39:43I am maintaining my side of this arrangement, Caiaphas.
39:45I've made plans to make an example of a zealot.
39:46Now, tell me what you're doing to maintain yours.
39:47Oh, zealots are wonderful.
39:48That should be well received on both sides, because both your people and our people hate zealots.
40:06They bring down your wrath on the common people.
40:09They make things worse for everyone.
40:12Don't change the subject.
40:15Your people hate zealots and they don't hate Jesus.
40:17I won't argue with that.
40:20But this city has a messianic fever and I need to bring the temperature down.
40:26Well, we agree there in the broadest sense we always have.
40:31I too want a lower temperature.
40:33Well, there are some families of massacred Jews who might take issue with that.
40:39And neither of us wants a repeat.
40:41I want peace, just like you.
40:45I just don't like what I'm hearing about your methods.
40:47What have you heard?
40:49Don't insult me.
40:50So you've been spying on us.
40:52You're not Roman citizens.
40:54You have no right to privacy.
40:56Exactly.
40:58You're not one of us.
41:00You don't believe in our God.
41:02Therefore, you cannot begin to know what's best for us.
41:07There are layers to this.
41:09You do not comprehend thousands of years of theology, tradition, and law.
41:16If you know what's best for the Jewish people, then why does Jerusalem have a fever?
41:20You asked me what I plan to do to maintain my side of our arrangement, and yet you already know.
41:27Why the intrusion?
41:29You just wanted to hear me say it out loud?
41:33Wipe that smug look off your face.
41:37You've grown too comfortable with our arrangement.
41:42So much so that you think you deserve the special treatment the Empire has come to give you over the years.
41:48My God's chosen people, why should we expect anything less?
41:51It's galling and confounding to everyone I know in Rome.
41:58Even our Stoic philosopher Seneca has wondered aloud, to my humiliation, how in Jerusalem the vanquished have given laws to the victors.
42:08Well, not anymore.
42:10Let me say to you plain and simple, Caiaphas, if you go through with this, and tensions rise as a result, our alliance is over.
42:28Shut up!
42:45This is oppression.
42:48We are devout men, yes, but we work hard, and we pay our tribute.
42:54This is an outrage.
42:55Sorry about the mix-up.
42:56Caiaphas, Caiaphas, it was our mistake.
42:58Shalom, shalom.
43:01Move out!
43:02Caiaphas!
43:19Swords.
43:23Keep going.
43:24For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
43:52For the Lord bestows favor and honor.
44:00No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.
44:09Adonai has blessed and anointed our cause.
44:15And as David wrote, when he feigned madness to evade the king of Gath,
44:19when the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all of their trouble.
44:25It's a sign!
44:25From the prophet Jeremiah.
44:28Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.
44:33Your eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man,
44:38rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
44:46Job, at his lowest, cried out to Adonai,
44:50I know that you can do all things and that no purpose of yours shall be thwarted.
44:57You make a deal with the enemies of our people and our God and call it divine purpose?
45:04If you'll excuse me, brothers.
45:21For just a moment.
45:23What are you doing?
45:29I am leaving, Hophni.
45:30Why?
45:31Because it is the right thing to do.
45:34Leaving Jerusalem hours before Passover?
45:37Using the holy scriptures to delude and justify yourself?
45:40It's pathetic.
45:41You will not speak to me in that tone.
45:42Or what?
45:44Nothing more can hurt me.
45:46My daughter is dead.
45:50My husband is a shadow.
45:52And we are in league with Rome.
45:54It was a Roman blade.
45:56Yes.
45:57But she was only there.
45:59Follow her, Rabbi.
46:00He bewitched her.
46:01Love is not a spell, Hophni.
46:05Her love for her rabbi and for her future husband were real.
46:11Thomas was never worthy.
46:12That is rich coming from you at this moment.
46:15You're not leaving.
46:17I can't have Jesus taking both my daughter and my wife from me.
46:22If you think that this may soften my resolve, you are mistaken.
46:30I love you, Hophni.
46:32And I serve God and his laws.
46:34Which is why I pray that he will forgive me that I cannot stand by and watch what hate and guilt have turned you into.
46:42I love you, Hophni.
46:43I love you, Hophni.
46:44I love you, Hophni.
46:45I love you, Hophni.
46:46I love you, Hophni.
46:47I love you, Hophni.
46:48I love you, Hophni.
46:49I love you, Hophni.
46:50I love you, Hophni.
46:51I love you, Hophni.
46:52I love you, Hophni.
46:53I love you, Hophni.
46:54I love you, Hophni.
46:55I love you, Hophni.
46:56I love you, Hophni.
46:57I love you, Hophni.
46:58I love you, Hophni.
46:59I love you, Hophni.
47:00I love you, Hophni.
47:01I love you, Hophni.
47:02I love you, Hophni.
47:03I love you, Hophni.
47:04Hello, Simon.
47:21We're not doing another chase and evade.
47:23Good?
47:24Let's talk now.
47:25Man to man?
47:29You know what this building is?
47:31A prison.
47:32Mm-hmm.
47:33What was that back there?
47:35I know, Caffney.
47:37It wasn't your mistake detaining him.
47:39So tell me what's going on.
47:40I'm well aware of what it cost you to leave your old order and to follow Jesus.
47:44That level of dedication could have gotten you killed.
47:47It may yet.
47:47I hear no lies.
47:50Jesus is in real danger.
47:53I don't have to tell you that.
47:55No jail could hold the Messiah.
47:59No prison bars or shackles could contain him.
48:02Oh, you think I came here as some sort of a stunt?
48:08Have a little chat with you about the seriousness of your situation?
48:11Come on, Z.
48:12That'd be a big old waste of my time.
48:14I came here to question a zealot.
48:16Yeah, a murderer.
48:19Who is being transferred into this prison right about...
48:22Kronos be praised.
48:26Right on time.
48:29Oh, you know him?
48:48Old friend.
48:52Well, your pal is scheduled for execution in about, uh...
48:5928 hours, give or take.
49:02A day and then some.
49:03Barabbas came to find me when I left the order.
49:07And you both survived?
49:09Somebody didn't do his job.
49:10We spoke.
49:11That's not what they sent him to do.
49:12He saw things.
49:14Things that should have compelled him to leave the order and believe.
49:19You think you could have saved him?
49:20I didn't say that.
49:21He could have saved himself.
49:23If only he'd opened his eyes and heart.
49:25Well, he did not open his eyes.
49:27Don't know about his heart.
49:28Don't care.
49:28Because now he's got to pay up consequences.
49:32Simon, I think you're about to find that out.
49:35I said no jail could contain him.
49:40Touchy.
49:42Fine.
49:43So maybe your messiah won't be jailed.
49:46But what about your friends?
49:48Hmm?
49:48One of them has already died.
49:59You know what?
49:59I'm just going to leave those there.
50:01In case you think you need to be ready.
50:09Luck happens.
50:12When preparation meets opportunity.
50:18Buona fortuna.
50:22Simon Zee.
50:23Today, the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
50:52He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
50:58Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
51:02I and the father are one.
51:12Ah.
51:13He was despised and rejected of men.
51:16A man of sorrow, acquainted with grief.
51:21Ha!
51:22Do not think I come to abolish the law or the prophets.
51:27I do not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
51:34Rabbi, I'm going to do this.
51:35Oh!
51:37Yusuf!
51:38I'm sorry to disturb you.
51:40Your scriptures already disturb me.
51:42With all respect, I bring news that might make it worse.
51:47What?
51:49The facts are not fully confirmed, but my confidants are not given to exaggeration or inference without solid evidence.
51:55Don't withhold, young man.
51:57Say it.
51:58Caiaphas is making plans to arrest Jesus.
52:00Oh, impossible.
52:04He doesn't have the authority.
52:07And according to my reconnaissance, no one is certain where to find Jesus.
52:11There is talk of a collaborator.
52:14A traitor?
52:15From within the ranks of his own followers.
52:18Who among them could be capable of such a thing?
52:21I don't know what Matthias has told you,
52:22but not all of the followers are in agreement on how they view Jesus.
52:27I have witnessed dissent between them at the house of Lazarus.
52:30Even if one of them betrayed his whereabouts at this very moment,
52:34the Sanhedrin would still have to convene for a trial.
52:37And it is illegal for a capital offense to be tried on the day of preparation for the High Holy Day.
52:44Passover is in less than seven hours.
52:47Caiaphas' hands are tied.
52:49I assure you they're not, or rather they are, to his father-in-law.
52:54Well, Anos, he's been deposed before.
52:59We can depose him again, if he's the one behind all of this, which I suppose he is.
53:05We?
53:05It's a naked violation of the law and tradition.
53:10Most of the judges don't even like Anos.
53:12You said we.
53:14Hmm?
53:14Will you join me and Shimon and the centrist in denouncing Caiaphas' brazen infractions?
53:19Where would I even do that?
53:20Most of the administrative meeting spaces in the temple are closed for Passover.
53:25Nicodemus, you know Caiaphas has no scruples.
53:29My informers say they will call an emergency meeting overnight, tonight,
53:33citing an obscure loophole authorization from the Sefer Hamakabin during times of national crisis.
53:38But Jesus is not a natural crisis.
53:42He is, insofar as they rightly perceive him, to be a threat to this current corrupt Israeli hierarchy,
53:50which he's poised to dismantle.
53:52They're not all corrupt, but they are all scared.
53:54Of course they are.
53:55If I may be so bold, you are too harsh on your brethren, Rabban.
54:00They are mostly good men, dedicated to their faith, devoted to preserving our traditions and Torah.
54:06They just weren't ready for Jesus.
54:09I don't think anyone was.
54:12Present company included.
54:14Me or you?
54:16Both.
54:19Sunset to sunset has not passed, and somehow,
54:22I've twice been accused of misunderstanding Jesus of Nazareth.
54:26So you do?
54:28Do I?
54:29Understand Jesus.
54:31I'm getting there.
54:34So what's next?
54:36How can we solve this?
54:37Both you and Mary need to understand.
54:39The die is cast.
54:42My status is irrelevant.
54:44This requires a level of dexterity that neither of you have been forced to implement.
54:49It's not something I can solve with stern words and backroom somewhere.
54:54If you and I disclose our allegiance, now or ever, we will be shut out of all discussions altogether.
55:03Mary?
55:04His follower?
55:05I sent for her.
55:06She was searching for me, but recklessly.
55:08She could have quickened the disaster that is so rapidly unfolding.
55:12She was looking for help anywhere she can find it.
55:14I said recklessly.
55:15And you cared enough about that to bring her in.
55:17Why?
55:18If you're so resigned to the fate of Jesus.
55:20To save her and the others.
55:21From what?
55:22From what could happen next?
55:24I can't stop the Sanhedrin's attempts, but I can at least warn Jesus and his followers.
55:30Rabbi Nicodemus, please hear me.
55:34You are right.
55:37Neither I nor Mary have the wisdom or experience you have.
55:43But we are willing to do anything.
55:47You say we will be shut out of all discussions if we reveal ourselves.
55:52I will follow your lead on that.
55:55But surely, we can be part of the discussion tonight.
55:59I am studying the scriptures and Jesus' statements for clues as to what can happen next.
56:07Or what he has in store.
56:09It's a mystery.
56:12I have no idea what might happen tonight.
56:17Let's find out.
56:18It's a mystery.
