Drusus. . .
:17:06
. . .when I was a boy, I dreamed
of commanding this garrison.
:17:12
Now the wheel has turned.
:17:15
I am in command.
:17:26
Attention!
:17:29
Aisle one, face right!
:17:33
Forward!
:17:42
I'd forgotten the heat.
:17:44
If it were only the heat.
:17:47
I lived here until I was 1 4.
Jerusalem was my home.
:17:50
-My father was head of--
-Yes, I know.
:17:53
Your father is well-remembered.
Fine governor.
:17:57
If there can be such a thing
in this forsaken land.
:18:02
If you want to rise, Sextus,
do the difficult.
:18:06
I asked to be sent here.
:18:09
You'll find the people changed
since you were a boy.
:18:12
In what way?
:18:14
Oh, won't pay their taxes,
an irrational resentment of Rome. . . .
:18:19
There's nothing new in all that.
:18:22
And then there's religion. I tell
you, they're drunk with religion.
:18:25
They smash the statues of our gods,
even those of the emperor.
:18:30
Punish them.
:18:34
We do.
:18:36
When we can find them.
:18:40
Find the leaders.
:18:41
You don't know. There's nothing
you can put your finger on.
:18:44
There are strange forces
at work here.
:18:47
This "messiah" business--
:18:48
I know. There was one
predicted when I was a boy.
:18:51
A king of the Jews, who will lead them
into some sort of anti-Roman paradise.
:18:56
Makes your head spin.
:18:58
There's a wild man
in the desert named John. . .
