My old friend Pontius Pilate,
young Arrius.
1:35:11
Before you came to this city,
my horses always won.
1:35:14
Magnificent horses, extremely swift.
1:35:16
Yes, but not swift enough
to defeat you.
1:35:18
-Tell me, you come from Judea?
-Yes, sir.
1:35:21
I hear that the climate
is difficult to live in.
1:35:24
Not for Judeans.
1:35:29
It's a terrible prospect.
I am to be made governor.
1:35:33
-Of Judea?
-Yes.
1:35:35
I asked for Alexandria.
1:35:36
But it seems the wilderness
needs my particular talents.
1:35:39
The scorpions and holy prophets
can't get on without me.
1:35:42
Lay the dust of Judea,
at least for this evening.
1:35:46
Goats and Jehovah.
1:36:06
You're leaving.
1:36:10
I must.
1:36:13
It's a journey I can't keep you from.
1:36:17
Your eyes have never left it all
these months. I can recognize pain.
1:36:21
But still, my counsel is to wait.
1:36:25
Gratus is to be replaced.
1:36:28
The governorship goes
to Pontius Pilate.
1:36:34
When?
1:36:36
Very soon.
1:36:38
It's very much to our purpose.
1:36:41
Nothing is to the purpose if, when
I come back to Judea, I come too late.
1:36:49
That is the thought which has punished
me every moment I've spent here.
1:36:59
Will Rome see you again?
