: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.
:26:01
Other countries have armies,
fine armies. I know, I fought them.
:26:05
Oh, no.
:26:07
No, it was fate that chose us
to civilize the world. And we have.
:26:11
Our roads and ships connect
every corner of the earth.
:26:15
Roman law, architecture, literature
are the glory of the human race.
:26:18
I believe in the future of my people.
:26:21
Of course you do.
And you can help them.
:26:25
How?
:26:28
You're an aristocrat.
:26:29
Your family's name is honored.
You're a prince to your people.
:26:32
You're rich and powerful.
Your reputation is stainless.
:26:35
They'd listen if you
spoke out against rebellion.
:26:38
Persuade your people that
their resistance to Rome is stupid.
:26:41
It is worse than stupid, futile!
:26:44
For it can end in only one way,
extinction for your people!
:26:53
I'm against violence.
Everyone knows this.
:26:55
I've spoken against it.
I shall do so again.
:26:58
Then we're agreed!
