I was chosen to deliver a gift to the world.
The greatest gift it has ever known.
You may think you know my story.
Trust me,
you don't.
My father, Joachim, withdrew to the desert
for 40 days of fasting and repentance,
believing the Lord denied him a child as punishment.
My mother, Anne, prayed fervently for a child.
How did I offend you, my Lord?
All I want is a child.
He hears you.
Who are you? How did you get here?
I am Gabriel.
God will gift you with a daughter.
A d-- A daughter?
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
A daughter?
- Yes.
He will gift you a daughter
unlike any other.
She will fulfill Isaiah's prophecy.
And in exchange...
Yes, what is it?
A promise.
When I return, you must dedicate her to the service of God.
To dwell in His temple.
Anne.
Joachim!
Anne.
Our prayers have been answered.
Joachim.
The Romans appointed King Herod to reign over Judea.
Herod's tyrannical rule sparked an uprising amongst the Judeans.
I never imagined our two worlds would collide.
My people...
citizens of Jerusalem,
I plan to rebuild and enlarge the Second Temple
to a splendor of magnificence never before imagined.
And I will embrace the troubles and the pain that will assault me,
and I will embrace them as levies of greatness.
The pain the hand of eternity has set upon me.
With this temple,
I make full return to God.
For his bounteous gift to me of this,
his holy kingdom of Judea.
Your king,
I, Herod, King of all the Jews.
We must no longer tolerate this injustice.
Listen to me! Is it time to take action!
This temple is a monument to Herod's vanity and desire for Roman approval.
Though he claims to honor God, he is just a puppet of Rome
who shed Jewish blood to gain his throne.
He is not even a Jew!
How could Judaism ever be restored under Herod's illegitimate reign?
We must follow Aristobulus, the high priest.
He will lead us back to God.
These are trying times for us all.
In the face of adversity,
the divine providence of God will serve a greater purpose.
Aristobulus, you must go into hiding.
I have our people's support, sister.
I assure you we are strong.
No.
Things have changed.
Please!
My little sparrow.
My love.
Thank you.
You look troubled.
What ails you, my queen?
You don't remember who I am.
Yes, I remember who you are.
You helped me build the many glories of this kingdom.
You gave me many beautiful Hasmonean children.
You will always have my heart, Mariamne.
Let us drink to
our long,
insufferable marriage.
Pray,
share the news.
Yes.
Your brother has been dealt with.
You...
...are a monster.
Yes.
Someday, this madness will end...
- Yes. - ...and we will restore
the throne of David.
Be still, my love.
Mariamne.
My little sparrow.
Be strong...
Mary.
Careful not to bruise them, Malachi.
Of course, sir.
Each olive is a kiss from God.
Don't you forget it, my friend.
Mary! Mary!
Where did she run off to this time?
Mary!
Come here!
Don't fly away!
Mary! Mary!
Where are you?
I brought you a friend! Mary!
Noam!
Noam wants to play with you while your fathers talk.
Come on. I want to show you something.
Keep your ears open for lunch!
Hurry up, Noam!
Do you hear me, Mary?
Come on, Noam! You're too slow.
You're too fast. Wait!
Come on. Let's pick some figs.
Mama will be so surprised.
Mary?
Hurry up! The figs won't pick themselves.
Why can't we just walk?
- My lord. - Yes?
I've had many reports of discontent.
Pharisee discontent.
- Yeah? - In the prosperous hillside areas.
Discontent?
Yes, sire.
And why is there discontent, Marcellus?
They want you to strike
against the incursions and the Nabataean raiders.
Oh.
Also, there are those rumors.
- Reports of a savior. - Savior?
And who's talking about a savior?
Salome?
You, my brother, are the King of the Jews.
The true savior.
That's all that matters.
Who is talking about a savior?
I've heard my husband, and others say it, too.
Your husband, Costobarus?
Yes.
Hm.
Should I spare him? Should I set him free? Or...
Tell me, Salome.
Should I have him stoned to death in the marketplace?
What say you?
His head on a pike will calm the people, surely.
Tell me, would it be terrible for you
to lose a husband or a loved one?
Your reign will always come before love.
Good.
Shh.
Mother is waiting for us, so...
- Race you back! - What? Come here!
Come here. No!
Mary, let's clean you up before dinner!
How did you get so dirty?
Well...
She's very fast.
What is it?
I saw the man with the blue robe today.
Papa?
Your birth was a miracle.
It was a gift.
For your mother and I.
But in exchange, I made a promise.
A promise that must be kept.
Why is she here?
- Let's go home. - No.
Let the girl pass.
Ah.
It's you.
I'm so, so proud of you.
Go. Go.
I am Anna.
Child!
Come closer, please.
Why have you come?
I am here to fulfill a promise.
Anna,
is this true?
Has the vessel of the promise arrived at last?
El Shaddai welcomes you, child, with open arms to your new home.
Trust.
He will reveal all in time.
Mary, where are you now?
- I'm coming.
You're late for prayer, child. Get.
Sorry.
And shall call his name...
Mary, where were you?
I was... [clears throat] ...scrubbing the floors and polishing the vessels.
You were in the gardens again, dallying.
Weren't you?
No, I wasn't dallying.
Before afternoon prayers.
Flowers don't plant themselves.
The scriptures tell us we need to serve Him through our work.
Remember your place, girls.
Next time, serve Him faster.
I-- I beg you. Please.
Are you going to finish that?
What? No, I'm full. Why?
Can I have it?
What are you doing?
Mary!
Help me!
Good evening, maiden.
Oh...
Didn't notice you there.
Ah.
I can see that you work hard.
Oh.
I keep busy.
Leaving me little time for small talk, so--
Do you leave yourself any time for pleasure?
I find pleasure every day in the mysteries of the Lord.
- Don't you?
Yes.
These are troubling times here in the temple.
Don't you think?
- Mary?
You know my name then.
I would like to know more.
- Pardon me. I have studies-- - No, stay, stay!
Stay!
I've heard so much about you.
All the priests,
they talk.
Please don't do that.
Tell me of your allegiance to the King of the Jews.
Our imperial sovereign, King Herod.
There's only one true sovereign here.
My allegiance is to God.
Then you're a zealot.
A traitor in the king's temple.
I'm a servant.
This is God's temple.
Hm.
There are great rewards for serving the king's cause, Mary.
- Tangible rewards.
I know my reward.
- I must go. - You will stay.
Lucifer!
Let her go, brother.
Gabriel, leave here.
Now.
Make way for King Herod the Great!
Out of the way!
Move, move!
- Move!
My people of Judea!
Citizens of Jerusalem.
Today I wish to pay tribute to our glorious emperor,
Caesar Augustus.
Hail to thee, almighty Caesar.
- Hail! - Hail, Caesar!
- Hail! - Hail!
Good. Good.
Ah.
Marcellus.
Sire.
Our most high priest, Bava Ben Buta. We must all remember our place.
Perhaps we could mount the aquila elsewhere.
Elsewhere?
Sire, this is our Lord's house.
This is the Lord's house?
Tell me, did the Lord give you all this? Did the Lord give you this mitre?
Did the Lord give you my temple, the one I have rebuilt and enlarged?
Did he give you that, Bava Ben Buta?
Sire.
No, not sire! No, no.
I'm simply the prickly porcupine...
...who will defend what is his when he feels threatened. Yeah.
Porcupine, sire?
I do not understand.
Tell me, um,
do you crave or wish for a crown of your own?
I crave no crown, sire.
Kneel.
I'm sorry, sire. I--
Kneel before your king.
Good, good.
Now you will feel the pains and the pangs of despised power and sovereignty
because it was you who sanctified the whispers of intrigue, yes?
Who sanctioned rumors of disloyalty and disobedience in my temple, yes?
No longer will they flourish in my temple, Bava Ben Buta!
Bava Ben Buta!
- Bava Ben Buta! Hey!
Let me be clear.
Let it be understood!
That your king, I, Herod of Judea,
I am your king.
Stop!
Mary, turn away.
Child.
Sire?
Vision comes in many forms.
The heart, too, can see.
You have to continue to guide the faithful.
- Shh.
You threatened the king.
- Why? - I didn't!
What did you just do to him?
Nothing, sir. I'm just a servant of the temple.
Well, something tells me that's not entirely true.
What powers do you have?
- I-- I don't have any! - What did you do to him?
Captain! You have no business here.
Prophetess,
this maiden, she threatened the king.
She did no such thing.
Release her.
Leave here now.
I will stop you, whatever you are.
Anna.
Oh.
I said nothing to the king, I promise.
You are far more powerful than words, child.
You're learning.
The resistance meets tomorrow to fight the oppression of the Roman taxes.
- We should go. - No!
- They will crush us. - That's why we must go.
It's time to rise up before we're all wiped out.
Rise up? To be slaughtered like cattle?
You are cattle if you think like that.
Bring more next time.
Herod rules by fear.
He is not our king. He's ungodly.
More Roman than Jew. Is that what you want?
I want to be more alive than dead.
Joseph, what do you think?
I think you're just wasting your time.
You're trying to tell me you don't believe in the cause?
What cause?
I only believe in what I can see with my own eyes.
Hey!
Outta my way!
Move along.
What?
The hunting is better around the bend.
Hey!
Hey! Wait, I can get that!
Hey!
Wait!
Hey, I-- I'll get that for you!
I can help you!
Hey! Wait!
Who are you?
Wait, don't go!
Please, don't go!
Just tell me your name!
What's your name?
I'm the daughter of Joachim of Nazareth.
And you are... crazy.
Do we not have the right to live as free men,
to harvest our olives to feed our families?
To worship without fear?
Your workers there, they speak of protest and zealotry.
It's just talk. They're good men.
They talk of resistance. You can't allow this. It's treason.
Their hearts are in the right place.
What are you saying?
The regime is corrupt and unholy. You know it as well as I.
You're a party to this treason if you do not stop them.
You're overreacting.
You put your own family's prosperity at risk. And their safety.
Can I ask you something, Anna?
Is this about a boy?
What? No.
I'm not so sure.
You've been here for a long time, right?
I haven't left the temple in 47 years.
Is that long?
Pretty long, yes.
I don't know how to ask you this, but...
Isn't that kind of a dull life?
Dull?
Living continuously face to face with God.
Losing the narrowness of self-interest,
and being absorbed in the ever-widening interests
which God makes known to me?
Hmm, would you be so lucky, child?
Right...
But can't I do even more good outside the temple?
I-- I mean...
How can I do anything important if I'm stuck in here?
I told you it was about a boy.
It's not.
It's always about a boy.
Anna, I'm promised to the Lord.
Hm.
Do you doubt my fidelity?
No.
Do you?
What's that supposed to mean?
It means come downstairs and help me in the kitchen.
Hello, sir.
May I have your daughter's hand?
Her hand? What?
Yes. In marriage, sir. May I have it?
Who are you? How do you know Mary?
Mary. So that's her name?
You don't know her name?
Well, I do now, sir.
Please, may I have her hand?
- There's a spirit about her, and... - Who's here?
I have no idea.
Young man,
Mary is vowed to the Lord.
Yes. I understand.
But please, let me assure you, this is meant to be.
Young love.
But it's not. She's accounted for.
Um, um--
- Wait! How can you say that?
- How can you speak for her like that? How can I speak for her?
I'm her father. And we decided.
- This is a stranger. We didn't decide. You decided.
What are you trying to say?
Please, I'm so sorry to bother you. Just listen to me for one second.
I've never experienced anything like this in my entire life.
Something changed in me when I saw your daughter.
I was hunting down by the river.
I saw this...
beautiful...
and gentle creature...
...just dancing in the wind.
And I knew...
She is my wife.
And it never would have happened
if this strange man in a blue robe
- wouldn't have led me to her. - A blue robe?
Yes, a blue robe.
Mama?
Mm.
- Wait! Papa, is he okay? - He's fine.
Older.
Mary...
Your father and I have promised you to a young man.
I-- I don't understand.
We have decided you're to be married.
What?
What do you mean? You sold me off like one of our prized steeds?
- It's not like that. - Mother, it is like that.
How could you possibly think of allowing this?
Well, I think it's a good idea.
- What? - His name is Joseph.
He's serious and very handsome.
Mother, I'm a servant of God.
Mary...
The angel appeared again.
This boy is meant for you.
You're Joseph?
Most days, yes.
Let it be known, Lord...
The drowning fool in the river.
...that these two young persons before you...
That's me.
...in this engagement ceremony
swear themselves to each other to be married.
And to your service, in love
and in respect.
Do you really think this is a good idea?
Joseph?
May the Lord bless you and protect you.
- Well... - May the Lord shine his face upon you...
- ...actually I do. - ...and give you peace.
So, what do you think?
He's very handsome, Mother.
Goodbye.
I don't understand.
Now it is your will that I should marry this perfect stranger. Why?
You only speak to others about this.
You've got nothing to say to me.
Who's there?
What do you want?
Don't be afraid, Mary.
You have found favor... with God.
What-- What do you mean?
You are to become a mother and have a son.
He will reign over the house of David.
But that's not possible.
I can't have a child.
All things are possible...
...with God.
You will name him
Jesus.
And all the world will know him, Mary.
For you
are blessed among women.
Let it be me.
How strange.
I bring them water, yet they will not drink.
Or they refuse to drink.
Hm.
Beware the tyranny of the... common good.
Marcellus?
Yes, my lord?
Beware the tyranny of the common good.
It is a serpent who will turn and devour you.
But... I shall tax them, yes.
I will call a census and tax them for their ingratitude and their thanklessness.
And they shall behold and see the reward of the wicked.
And I shall behold and see... their suffering
as my children before me.
Go, Marcellus, do it.
Yes, my lord.
Have you told anyone about this?
Who would believe me?
I believe you.
But you are wise to keep this quiet for now.
Not all in the temple possess such a faith.
Mary!
She is with child.
Is this true?
I can explain.
Is this true?
I didn't do anything wrong.
You have broken your vow!
I haven't!
She is a disgrace.
You can't stay here, Mary.
But...
No, please, you cannot do this.
It has come to pass.
You will return here.
They cast me out of the temple.
What?
Why would they do that?
Because I'm with child, Mama.
Oh, Mary...
I haven't done anything wrong, I promise.
But how could this be?
The angel in blue, he told me--
The angel?
He came to you?
Yes, I thought it was a dream.
You're the vessel of the promise.
It's true.
What does that mean? Mama, I'm engaged to Joseph.
We're not even married. I can't have a baby.
You are stronger than you know.
You have been selected for great things,
and great things never come easy.
We'll get through this.
As a family.
So should we tell Papa?
No. Do not tell your father.
- I'll face him if I must. - People will talk.
You could be stoned if they find you here.
I want you to go to Aunt Elizabeth in Ein Karem.
She is seven months with child,
at a great age, like I once was.
Another miracle of faith.
You'll be safe there.
Mama, I can't leave here again, please.
Mary, I know.
But you must go now. You must go.
Hyah!
This is a wonderful surprise.
You journeyed all this way from the temple just to visit us?
I went home first and then Mama sent me here.
I hope I'm not a burden.
This child in my womb jumps at the sound of your voice.
Mary...
Are you too with child, dear?
Yes, I am.
You are the revelation.
Blessed are you among women.
Blessed is this child.
Sweet girl.
Stay as long as you need.
Thank you.
Why were you not grateful, Mariamne?
Grateful for the marvels we created, for the children we raised, for the...
...love we shared?
Why was it never enough for you?
And you.
How did you become this thing, this creature of darkness?
You were not well-born, were you?
Not like her, not like...
Mariamne.
But you did seek to enhance and improve yourself
and the unwashed kingdom of your reign.
You did seek beauty, and yes, you...
made some beautiful things.
But it was your family, Mariamne, your family, not mine, who debased me.
Hi! May I hold him?
Yes.
Oh...
Hi, John.
It comes easily to you.
I don't know if I'm ready.
You have found peace here, no?
I have.
You must confront this with your family behind you.
More than ever,
you are going to need them by your side.
Father.
You will face him.
Elizabeth!
Oh, that voice.
Oh, there you are.
- We have to leave for the market. Yes, yes.
I didn't think I was ready either.
- Mmm.
Trust the strength inside you.
What are they talking about?
Fool. They're talking about you.
You don't know?
Your woman.
She's with child.
It's all over town. The word has spread!
Take it back.
I can't take it back.
The deed is done, the seed is planted.
Kill her.
- Hey! - Take it back!
Oh.
Do you know what people say about you?
What they say about us?
But it's not true. Papa, they don't know the truth.
Tell me the truth then.
You've laid with a man.
No! Never.
How is this possible?
I told you. It was the spirit.
Stop!
This child will be a pariah.
You don't believe me?
Have you prayed for comfort and found none?
Have I prayed?
I have prayed every night since your mother hid you from me.
And here you are,
standing in front of me.
You're with a child.
How could you do this?
Father, you must listen to me.
You could be put to death for this.
That is the law.
Please.
Father, it's still me. I'm still Mary.
Please look at me.
I need you.
Papa, I need you.
Stay here.
Let me in!
Let me in! Open up!
Where is she? I must see her.
- She isn't here. - Then where is she?
We've sent for her. She hasn't arrived. I don't know where she is.
I'll find her then.
What happened?
Joseph, he's angry.
- He needs to calm down. - I must speak to him.
Wait, Mary.
Be careful.
Joseph.
The temple whore.
We've been looking for you.
No!
She is carrying a contaminated seed!
Mary! Stop!
Have you gone mad, people?
Joseph, look at her!
She's an outrage to the laws of our people.
Stone her. Exact God's punishment.
Joseph, she dishonored you.
Made you the fool.
Stone her! Stone her!
Stone the virgin whore!
Get back!
Come with me!
- Get away!
No, she wasn't there! Over there! She's over there!
You may not believe me...
...but I was chosen for this.
I don't know why.
I really don't.
All those people out there...
...can call me all sorts of names.
But I'm going to bring this child into the world with love and honor and respect.
I, uh...
...was actually trying to find you.
To tell you I don't care what they say.
But what I do know...
...is that I'm going to love this child as best as I can.
And if you let me,
I will love you as best as I can.
Amen.
Here.
- Mm. - Mm.
- Hm.
Let these knots be tied.
Let these two be joined under God.
- Rejoice at their blessed union.
We rejoice!
Hold this.
Come on, come on. Mary.
The bride and groom!
"Whore."
They came.
The zealots broke into the house looking for Mary.
They are coming back.
- Get the horses. - Yes, sir.
We can't stay here.
Herod is not the true king of Israel!
Romans!
Get away from our God!
Get off of our God!
We will restore the house of David!
Bring us the Messiah!
Commander! I can help you.
Whoa. Why are you here?
Come here.
I know someone who harbors zealots on his groves.
His name?
Father, don't do this.
- Let's just go home. - Quiet, Noam.
His name is Joachim.
And his house sits on the highest hill in Jerusalem, north of the Temple Mount.
- Long live King Herod the Great.
Long live King Herod the Great.
There are nomads in these hills. We have to be on guard.
Where is Joachim?
His daughter just married.
He's still out in celebration.
Yes, commander.
His daughter? Tell me about her.
I don't know much.
She hasn't lived here for years.
Her name is Mary.
Yes.
Huh.
She's a very special girl,
isn't she?
What power does she possess?
They say she carries the real King of the Jews.
All over the world,
believers search the skies for a sign of his birth.
A sign?
And what is this sign?
A star.
A wandering star...
...rising higher and brighter than all others.
You sleep so peacefully within me.
I'll always protect you.
Always.
Thank you, Joseph.
You're awake.
Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
I just don't understand all of this.
Why me?
Because you were in the river.
- Hey!
- Stay in the tent. - Joseph, where are you going?
No!
Go! Go!
No, no.
No.
No!
No.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
There are soldiers ahead collecting the Roman tax.
We can't be stopped with Mary.
I need you to distract them.
Pass through the soldiers, pay the tax.
Mary and I will go to Bethlehem.
My family is from there.
Our arrival will not be questioned.
I will go.
I'll find you there.
Great Herod.
Yes?
My king, Balthasar, is on a journey
with King Melchior and King Caspar.
They seek a rising star in your kingdom.
It will guide them to the child to be born King of all the Jews.
I don't understand. I thought I was King of all the Jews.
Did you not come here to honor me?
Great Herod,
the prophecies, they speak of the coming Messiah.
So you believe in these things.
You believe in the star and the savior, correct?
Indeed.
And you believe in the dust blown on the wind of dreams
across the waters of the moon?
And now you're searching the heavens for a star and a savior.
Yes?
You see, I make things, real things.
Uh, beautiful things, or so I've been told,
of iron and bronze and gold and fortresses and temples and theaters and cities.
They call me the king of the thing.
Shh.
So I ask you, what need have we of a Messiah?
Huh?
Is this all for the Roman census?
Something else is happening.
I have some fresh bread, here.
- Take some. They're from this morning. - No, thank you.
Here, some fresh bread for you.
- Oh. Hey! Hey, what's wrong?
You-- You're fine. You're fine.
You just need some rest.
All right.
Almost there.
Look at me.
You're fine.
- Here.
Can you please watch over her for me?
I'll be back shortly.
Here. Thank you.
I'll find us a place to stay.
Go.
Can we please get a room? My wife is pregnant, and we need--
- No, no. - But, what--
Hello, my friend. My wife is having a baby right now.
Can we please have a room in this place?
We're full.
Can I please get a room here? I need--
- Go away. - Wait, please. But--
Not here. Why not?
Please. We're tired.
- She's a woman. We need a place. - It's not my problem.
I'm sorry. We're full.
Yeah, yeah. I know. But can you just--
Can you just please tell me why are all these people here?
A child will be born in Bethlehem.
What child?
The Messiah.
My dear,
are you well?
Do you have some water, please?
Yes. Yes, of course.
Here. Take this.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Feel better now.
Drink up.
My cup is full.
What kind of God
would put a precious child like you through all of this?
So much hardship.
He relishes in your suffering. I know.
I know you feel this.
Let me ease your pain.
No more death.
No more sacrifice.
It can all be so easy.
Come with me, Mary.
Break free from all this pain.
The demon!
Shh.
I'm here.
Everything is going to be all right.
Come. Come on.
Where are we?
Joseph found shelter.
It's time.
Come on.
- I've got you.
Look at me!
- Yes.
Breathe!
Elizabeth! Keep her head up!
Mary, look at me!
Stay with me.
Almost there.
Breathe.
You'll be all right.
I choose you just as you chose me.
There was a birth in Bethlehem, Your Majesty.
I saw the light myself.
The goats stopped bleating and the cattle didn't graze.
There never was such a stillness before.
Marcellus?
Sire.
Who is this wretched man standing before me? Who is he? Why is he here?
He's just a common shepherd, sire.
Oh. [chuckling] I understand.
And this, uh...
This heavenly boy-child,
is he real? Has he been born?
Has he been born?
Yes, my lord. He's been born.
I heard that there were pilgrims, followers--
Followers?
Yes, sire.
Moving into the hills to Bethlehem to...
to visit the birthplace.
Bethlehem.
Shepherd man.
Yes, sire?
Come.
Here.
Come!
Ah.
You may leave.
Yes, sire.
Marcellus.
Come.
Kill every male infant in the city of Bethlehem.
But there is only one that matters.
Put to the sword every male infant in the city of Bethlehem.
When it is done, bring me word that it is done.
Go now to Bethlehem.
Marcellus.
Yes, my lord?
When you find this child, this... savior,
bring him to me...
...alive.
Yes, my lord.
Move!
I know you didn't have to do this.
Do what?
Stay with me.
You didn't have to.
Yes, I did.
This is my family.
Come here.
What?
Come here. Come meet your son.
What shall you name him?
Jesus.
His name is Jesus.
Hello, Jesus.
Hyah!
The king's men!
They're in the village now. They're coming for your son.
We have to go now.
Hyah!
Spread out!
Check every road, every house!
There, follow these tracks!
We won't make it to Egypt unless we get some food.
We need to rest.
We can try and find shelter there.
Hyah!
- Whoa.
Hello?
- Hello. - Yes?
- Hello. - Hello. We need some food and shelter.
- We don't have much, but come inside. - Welcome. Let me help you.
There. There!
Where's the child?
What child? We don't have a child.
The next time I will pierce her heart.
Where is the child?
- Tell me.
Go! Save your child!
Go, go!
No!
Joseph!
- Give me the baby. - Easy.
Put him in there. Come on.
You got it. Come on, come on! Just drop him.
- Careful! Grab him! - Slowly, slowly.
I got him.
Mary, you have to jump now. You're going to be all right.
You can do it. Jump!
You all right?
All right. Take him.
I'll release the wagon, you get the horse.
Get on!
Run!
Stop. Stop!
Whoa.
What's wrong?
We must bring him to the temple.
The road to Jerusalem is swarming with soldiers.
We're hunted.
We are blessed.
Are you the restorer...
...of the mighty throne of David?
Tell me.
Are you the Messiah?
Sire.
Hmm?
Your Majesty.
What?
This is not the son of Mary of Nazareth.
This is not the Messiah child? Huh?
We slaughtered all the male children
except the newborns, that are here now.
But where is the Messiah child?
Where?
Tell me, which one of these is the Messiah?
- None that we can tell, sire. Ah?
We believe the child is still out there.
Where? Out where?
We do not know.
You don't know?
You don't?
- Where is he?
- Tell me!
Which one of these is the Messiah?
I'm your king. Tell me!
Which one is the Messiah?
You! Which one is the Messiah? Tell me.
Where?
I am your king!
Herod, you are a wretched soul.
And your time is ending.
You! Why are you here?
Where is he?
You! Tell me where he is!
You!
I'm your king. It is your lives that are wretched!
Listen to me, I am the king!
You! Where is he?
Where is he?
Tell me!
Where is he?
We should stop now.
We've come this far.
Mary, we'll never get through.
Mary, please, listen to me. We can go back right now.
Come in, Mary.
We have been waiting.
This child...
...is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel.
And he will be opposed.
And the sword will pierce your soul, Mary,
so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, King of the Universe...
Love will cost you dearly.
It will pierce your heart.
But in the end...
...love will save the world.
