:24:02
. . .it will be very difficult
to govern here.
:24:05
I'm going to need help.
:24:07
Your help. Your advice.
:24:14
-You want my advice?
-Yes, I do.
:24:18
Withdraw your legions.
:24:22
Give us our freedom.
:24:27
Unfortunately, the emperor
is devoted to his empire.
:24:30
He's particularly fond of Judea.
:24:33
And Judea's not fond of the emperor.
:24:36
Is there anything so sad
as unrequited love?
:24:45
My quarters.
:24:47
A bit grim.
:24:48
Not grim.
:24:50
Austere. Virtuous.
:24:53
Roman.
:24:58
I'm going to be second-in-command
to the new governor, Valerius Gratus.
:25:03
He's coming in a few days
with more legions.
:25:07
Then the rumors are true.
:25:13
The emperor does not approve
of your countrymen.
:25:16
There is rebellion in the wind.
It will be crushed.
:25:24
But you and your family
need have no concern.
:25:27
I'm next in authority to the governor,
and you're my friend.
:25:29
-I'm a Jew.
-Ah, you are like a Roman!
:25:32
What have you in common
with the troublemaking rabble?
:25:36
-They're my people. I'm one of them.
-Be wise, Judah.
:25:39
It's a Roman world. If you want to
live in it, you must become part of it.
:25:44
You've changed.
:25:46
I've grown up. I've seen the world
since I left Jerusalem.
:25:49
I've seen Rome. It's no accident
that one small village on the Tiber. . .
:25:53
. . .was chosen to rule the world.
:25:55
Your legions.
:25:58
It wasn't just our legions.
