Barabbas

en
00:00:36 This man has been brought to me
00:00:42 He is accused of sedition and blasphemy,
00:01:01 My Lord Governor!
00:01:10 My Lord Governor...
00:01:14 ...there is a custom in Jerusalem,
00:01:18 ...one condemned man should be released.
00:01:21 I remember the custom.
00:01:23 Who shall it be?
00:01:28 Or shall it be Barabbas?
00:01:31 Release Barabbas!
00:01:35 - Release Jesus of Nazareth!
00:01:44 - Barabbas!
00:01:49 They're mad, Lord Governor.
00:01:52 A robber, an assassin.
00:01:56 Release Barabbas!
00:03:30 Take the Nazarene,
00:03:34 ...and he shall be crucified.
00:04:26 All right, that's enough.
00:04:28 Take him out.
00:04:46 Open up.
00:05:03 Come on.
00:05:18 One man to be set free.
00:05:22 Set free?
00:05:24 You ought to know the custom
00:05:27 The Governor offered them
00:05:30 He listened to the voices
00:05:35 I make no comment.
00:05:38 All right.
00:05:56 Give us a hair of your beard.
00:05:59 It ought to be lucky,
00:06:10 I'm not used to the light. It plays tricks.
00:06:16 If I was you, I shouldn't loiter.
00:06:17 I'd want to see the back of this place
00:06:22 Get on your way, will you?
00:06:24 - Who do you think you're shoving?
00:06:28 All right. I'm going.
00:06:40 Move on.
00:07:06 - There he is. Release the Nazarene!
00:07:10 What are you standing for, like an idiot?
00:07:58 Here's a fine sight.
00:08:02 What's happened then?
00:08:06 This is a surprise, let me tell you.
00:08:08 Is that my duck? It's him!
00:08:10 - Sara!
00:08:12 ...come back to his own.
00:08:14 Cheating his death again, like a good boy.
00:08:18 I was released to celebrate the holiday
00:08:23 Here's a day to celebrate in all my god.
00:08:27 You've not heard?
00:08:29 "Give us Barabbas," they said.
00:08:32 Food for Barabbas. Food for a hungry man.
00:08:35 How does it feel?
00:08:38 The choice of the people, eh?
00:08:40 Old Sara here dropping tears so fast
00:08:44 - Where did you get your luck?
00:08:47 Pass him across to me!
00:08:49 - Touch him for luck. That's it.
00:08:54 Get away.
00:08:57 Where's Rachel?
00:08:58 Shut away mourning for me?
00:09:00 She's no good for you or anyone else.
00:09:02 - She's completely changed, I'm telling you.
00:09:07 She's no good to my old rascal now.
00:09:10 ...except this prophet from Nazareth,
00:09:14 Ever since she heard him preach,
00:09:17 ...like a sick child goes off its food.
00:09:20 Come on, you old empty belly.
00:09:25 Sit down and eat.
00:09:27 Barabbas, that girl's no good for you.
00:09:29 Take my word for it.
00:09:32 Bewitched by a prophet.
00:09:35 And she's gone to his trial
00:09:38 She knows what happened to her prophet.
00:09:41 - Condemned, was he?
00:09:44 They had the choice between him and me,
00:09:48 The idol of the city.
00:09:51 Tell you what.
00:09:54 They call the prophet King of the Jews,
00:09:57 Show your respects to King Barabbas.
00:09:59 - Let's have a crowning of him.
00:10:06 - The wicked old King of Judea.
00:10:19 - Come on, give him his robes.
00:10:27 More wives than Solomon
00:10:31 Here's your scepter. Take it.
00:10:34 Set him on his throne.
00:10:35 - What's that?
00:10:39 Sit down on your throne.
00:10:40 Kneel down, all you miserable scum
00:10:45 Kneel down, you scum of the earth.
00:10:47 Hail! Hail!
00:10:49 I'll make laws for you
00:10:53 I crown you, King Barabbas.
00:11:07 What are you treating me like a clown for?
00:11:12 Here she is, Barabbas, if you want her.
00:11:17 Look here, Rachel,
00:11:20 The old rascal back from the dead.
00:11:25 So, here she is.
00:11:28 What's the matter with me?
00:11:32 Barabbas, let me go.
00:11:34 Not until you've told me
00:11:36 - I wouldn't wish any man his death.
00:11:40 Don't make me speak to you.
00:11:43 - What do you mean by that?
00:11:45 That's a warm welcome.
00:11:48 I couldn't follow any further.
00:11:50 I daren't say what is still to come,
00:11:55 What did I tell you?
00:11:58 Come on.
00:12:14 I'm not here to be made a fool of.
00:12:18 What's the matter?
00:12:24 Remember how it used to be.
00:12:26 Barabbas, don't you see what's happening?
00:12:31 I just got out of prison.
00:12:34 I need to get the cramp out of my bones.
00:12:41 - I'm not the same. Nothing is the same.
00:12:47 Barabbas, listen to me.
00:12:51 He came from God,
00:12:55 You think I should have been killed
00:12:58 You think I ought to be dead?
00:13:00 Barabbas, hear what I say.
00:13:04 That's none of my worry.
00:13:07 - And you can look after me.
00:13:10 That girl up there was always coming back
00:13:13 She's got her head full of them.
00:13:15 Well, it seems she's got something
00:13:20 - I don't like the look of it.
00:13:24 The sky. The light's gone out of it.
00:13:42 I've never known it dark like this
00:13:46 Get a light, for mercy's sake.
00:15:05 Something's wrong with my eyes.
00:15:09 I can't see.
00:15:15 Something's wrong.
00:15:21 Everything's black.
00:15:22 Black as death.
00:15:25 I knew there was something wrong
00:15:28 Tell me. Am I going blind?
00:15:31 Am I going blind?
00:15:46 What's happening?
00:15:50 You know what has happened.
00:15:52 Even the light has left us,
00:19:46 Well, are you satisfied now?
00:19:49 He's dead.
00:19:53 - We've seen it. That's the end of it.
00:19:57 We shall see that, too.
00:19:58 Only two days
00:20:01 Look at his friends.
00:20:03 I tell you, you're mad. That's the end of it.
00:20:06 Not tomorrow, but the morning after.
00:20:47 How many days have I been here?
00:21:10 How many days have I been here?
00:21:16 Can't you hear me?
00:21:19 What's the matter with you?
00:21:21 What's the matter? Two days.
00:21:25 Two days.
00:21:35 Then today's the third day?
00:21:37 Two and one make three. What's so odd?
00:21:41 We'll see, then.
00:21:44 This is the morning of the third day.
00:21:50 Barabbas, where are you going?
00:22:55 Now you know it's true.
00:23:00 All I know is the tomb is empty.
00:23:03 - Who moved the stone?
00:23:10 God himself? You saw him do it?
00:23:13 A power came from the sky.
00:23:15 It was when the sun was rising,
00:23:18 - First there was the music of a horn.
00:23:20 Then in the air there was an angel.
00:23:23 The whole sky seemed to dismantle.
00:23:25 It was white, it was fire.
00:23:29 It was white fire.
00:23:31 He stretched out his arm.
00:23:35 The point of the spear
00:23:38 ...and the stone rolled away.
00:23:42 If only you had been here sooner
00:23:46 My eyes are good.
00:23:49 You have to believe this, Barabbas.
00:23:51 The Master was a man of truth,
00:23:55 Did you see a prophet come
00:23:58 My eyes were so dazzled.
00:24:00 I think I must have covered them.
00:24:04 But when I could see again...
00:24:06 ...a man and a woman were together
00:24:10 And then she went quickly away.
00:24:12 And the man was the same man
00:24:16 He was like a shadow.
00:24:18 The morning light was behind him.
00:24:22 Shadows, light, that's about the truth of it.
00:24:26 Here's the truth of it:
00:24:28 Why do you think he should lie
00:24:30 ...when it meant he would be killed?
00:24:33 How do you know what he said?
00:24:35 The priests ought to know more
00:24:40 He said:
00:24:42 "Love one another."
00:24:45 "Love one another"?
00:24:49 And they crucified him for that?
00:24:52 Where are you going?
00:24:56 There are those who can tell you more.
00:24:58 There's a house in the street of the potters
00:25:01 You may find them there.
00:25:04 It's a trick they're playing.
00:25:05 They took the body and hid it
00:25:08 Or are you afraid?
00:25:10 Are you afraid of knowing
00:25:42 Are you looking for someone?
00:25:47 You like to see it?
00:25:49 The clay making itself?
00:25:53 Some other day.
00:25:57 What's happened? I heard there was news.
00:25:59 The tomb's empty,
00:26:01 Creed can have strange visions.
00:26:37 Who could it be?
00:26:39 Don't open it.
00:26:41 We should get out of this city.
00:26:45 Can we hide from the future forever?
00:26:49 What if they mean to destroy us all?
00:26:51 Leaving no one to tell the knowledge
00:26:53 Can the word turn to silence?
00:27:02 Where is he?
00:27:05 - What have you done with him?
00:27:08 - The truth. What happened?
00:27:12 You know what I mean.
00:27:17 What are you all afraid of?
00:27:20 What are we afraid of?
00:27:25 You want to know what we want to know.
00:27:27 - What is the truth of this morning?
00:27:31 You stole the body.
00:27:33 You think we might have hidden it
00:27:36 But something else has happened.
00:27:38 If you find him here,
00:27:42 Through that gate, as you did just now.
00:27:46 Don't you believe it. I saw the body.
00:27:51 If you were sure of that,
00:27:54 He's risen.
00:27:56 I trust in him and wait.
00:28:04 You're all mad.
00:28:09 What do you think you're doing,
00:28:12 There's no sea to fish in
00:28:15 It's what I'm used to doing,
00:28:18 But the streets in the cities
00:28:22 He made a joke about it
00:28:25 He said that in the future
00:28:32 It was a serious joke.
00:28:34 It meant he'd given us the word
00:28:39 ...into the light.
00:28:40 And you call yourself a fisherman?
00:28:42 Do I have to tell you
00:28:45 They struggle about, gasp and die.
00:28:48 We struggle and gasp.
00:28:56 Poor fish.
00:28:59 I, too...
00:29:02 ...must struggle and gasp.
00:29:04 And die.
00:29:08 And die in order to live.
00:29:12 That's where men have the advantage
00:29:16 They can die to the world,
00:29:19 ...and begin to live again in the light.
00:29:21 That's what he promised,
00:29:26 But what has happened...
00:29:29 ...we still don't know.
00:29:31 He's come back to life.
00:29:34 - He'll lead us to the new kingdom.
00:29:37 When I can touch him and hear him.
00:29:40 You're always full of doubts
00:29:42 No cause to doubt
00:29:45 No cause.
00:29:47 I can take you now to talk with a man
00:29:50 The Master brought him back to life.
00:29:54 Come, talk to him.
00:29:56 Let him tell you.
00:29:59 You needn't be afraid.
00:30:24 Lazarus? Will you come to us?
00:30:28 Here's someone wants to question you.
00:30:32 Come in.
00:30:38 I'll leave you with him.
00:30:41 You can ask him whatever you like.
00:31:17 They told me death is not...
00:31:20 Is not death.
00:31:23 They brought me here to see...
00:31:26 ...because you could make me believe it.
00:31:31 Because you were dead,
00:31:36 I mean...
00:31:38 ...the Master.
00:31:42 That is true.
00:31:45 I was dead.
00:31:49 And I know that he is Christ...
00:31:52 ...the Son of God...
00:31:54 ...who has power over life and death.
00:31:58 What's it like there?
00:32:00 You were there.
00:32:04 - Tell me what it's like.
00:32:06 - Like?
00:32:10 ...this thing you experienced?
00:32:14 What is it?
00:32:16 I have experienced nothing.
00:32:20 Only death.
00:32:22 And death is nothing.
00:32:25 Nothing?
00:32:27 No.
00:32:29 What should it be?
00:32:37 You want me to tell you
00:32:41 I cannot.
00:32:44 How would you tell an unborn child
00:32:50 It exists.
00:32:52 But it isn't anything.
00:32:56 To those who've been there...
00:32:59 ...nothing else is anything either.
00:33:06 No one has asked me this before.
00:33:10 They have listened how life came back
00:33:16 Only you have asked about death.
00:33:18 And none the wiser.
00:33:31 We're two men who might be dead.
00:33:38 Sharing his body.
00:33:41 Life.
00:34:07 Love one another.
00:34:08 Listen, everybody! That's the word.
00:34:16 We can tell them about loving one another.
00:34:19 - Leave me alone. I want to sit.
00:34:24 It's no good thinking.
00:34:26 Come on, let's go and find a new life.
00:34:38 - Where are you going, Barabbas?
00:34:44 Love one another!
00:34:56 - Come on.
00:35:07 Look.
00:35:31 - Hey! Get up! Come on!
00:36:25 Stay alive.
00:36:28 It's all you have to do.
00:36:36 It's not my fault they let him get killed.
00:36:40 You can't hang it around my neck.
00:36:44 I've as much right to be alive
00:36:47 You stinking fish.
00:36:49 You're afraid to look at me
00:36:56 You, look at me. Look at me!
00:37:11 It may be today that the new world comes.
00:37:14 Today or tomorrow.
00:37:19 Every day you have promised us,
00:37:23 - It will never come.
00:37:26 Please, Rachel,
00:37:29 You'd better mind what you say.
00:37:31 Don't you know what can happen to you
00:37:34 Anybody now caught
00:37:37 ...the Son of God, the Messiah and such,
00:37:42 ...and stoned until he's dead.
00:37:50 It will be as though the Earth has become
00:37:55 Everything evil swept away.
00:37:58 We shall look up and there will be angels
00:38:03 ...and they will put food in front of us
00:38:08 White, like their own.
00:38:17 Pain and sorrow will sink into the ground,
00:38:23 ...because the Son of God has risen
00:38:28 The world has become his kingdom.
00:38:30 There's no truth in any of it.
00:38:34 I know this woman.
00:38:36 She doesn't know the difference
00:38:41 ...and what she dreamed in her sleep.
00:38:44 Don't you listen to her.
00:38:45 She's raking up trouble.
00:38:49 Trouble for you...
00:38:50 ...if you won't turn and listen to the sounds
00:38:53 He knows but is afraid to believe it.
00:38:56 Look at you, Barabbas.
00:39:00 It will happen,
00:39:03 He's right. It's dangerous talk.
00:39:07 Better listen to this man.
00:39:09 - Let's hear what the prophet said.
00:39:12 To where the lepers are, to tell them
00:39:16 - She's going among the lepers!
00:39:19 She's going to set the lepers free.
00:39:21 - Don't let her go among the lepers!
00:39:29 You have no right to go among the lepers!
00:39:34 Look out, it's a temple guard!
00:39:39 We don't want the lepers to be free!
00:39:41 A charge has been lodged
00:39:43 - She must be questioned.
00:39:48 Bring her to the temple
00:39:51 - Take your dirty hands off her.
00:39:56 Don't take her away.
00:40:03 Rachel!
00:40:59 For blasphemy, and spreading blasphemy,
00:41:04 For stirring up evil matters
00:41:07 ...for misleading their minds
00:41:12 For her sins, she has been condemned
00:41:17 Let the man who accused her
00:41:21 ...cast the first stone.
00:41:29 What must I do?
00:41:32 Take this stone.
00:41:35 Why should I throw?
00:41:37 - I've nothing against her.
00:41:39 - The law gives you the first stone.
00:41:42 Or you'll find yourself there beside her.
00:41:44 Throw quickly. If you wait, I may be afraid.
00:43:42 You don't have to think of Barabbas
00:43:46 And if he did,
00:43:49 You're still afraid of him because
00:43:53 You can't stand up to him
00:43:56 He's gone to the devil once and for all,
00:43:59 He's lost his nerve.
00:44:01 He's creeping about the city
00:44:03 Why do you think he's not come back?
00:44:08 - We don't know yet, he won't come back.
00:44:12 We got a man here who can hang him
00:44:14 He came out of that prison mad.
00:44:17 We'll soon see it then.
00:44:54 So, you remembered the way to get here.
00:44:57 Given you up this past week.
00:45:02 You'll find things altered.
00:45:20 What's over is over.
00:45:27 I remembered the way.
00:45:45 Bring them across.
00:46:15 God's curse on you! The money is sacred!
00:46:19 - The god of battle will destroy you!
00:46:22 You hypocrites. I'll kill you both.
00:46:25 What are you doing?
00:46:26 Here's all the treasure we wanted.
00:46:40 I'll kill you the way you had her killed.
00:47:00 It seemed to me at the time, Barabbas,
00:47:05 ...it wasn't a fortunate exchange.
00:47:08 They were calling for death and disorder
00:47:12 This is what I thought
00:47:16 They put the scourge back into the fist.
00:47:20 By that I mean you and your life.
00:47:22 And many men have suffered
00:47:24 The other man, too.
00:47:28 This is a local matter,
00:47:33 The shock and fear
00:47:38 But the appetite to destroy...
00:47:40 ...which, alas, the human being shares
00:47:44 And it has rigorously to be disciplined
00:47:48 ...and according to the law.
00:47:51 But I tell you, whichever side of the law
00:47:55 You and your kind, and me and my kind.
00:47:58 How else have you lived except my way?
00:48:05 Let him speak.
00:48:12 How else have you lived except my way?
00:48:15 Whoever's against us or gets in our way,
00:48:21 My knife may have bitten a few throats,
00:48:25 They've split thousands upon thousands.
00:48:29 If I've taken a passing woman to myself...
00:48:33 ...your armies have looted and raped
00:48:37 And have been called
00:48:40 You were born according to the law
00:48:44 I was born by a girl
00:48:47 ...who gave birth and cursed me
00:48:50 But I tell you, we belong to the same herd.
00:48:54 Unfortunately for you, Barabbas,
00:48:57 The law is the pass and permit
00:49:01 You were without it.
00:49:03 However, the law here tells me...
00:49:06 ...that a man released
00:49:10 ...cannot thereafter
00:49:27 You can't kill me?
00:49:31 Easier on you if we could.
00:49:38 I sentence you to transportation for life,
00:49:41 ...to the sulfur mines
00:49:50 I can't...
00:49:52 ...be killed.
00:49:57 He meant me to live.
00:50:02 Deliberately he did it.
00:50:04 No killing Barabbas.
00:50:10 He died in my place.
00:50:12 The death has been paid.
00:50:18 He's taken my death.
00:50:21 That's it. He's taken my death.
00:50:25 That light, that wasn't light.
00:50:29 The dark, that wasn't dark.
00:50:33 That wasn't dark, that was life.
00:50:35 - That was life.
00:50:38 You'll die and rot, but I'll live forever!
00:50:41 I've got my life and you can't take it!
00:50:45 You stinking fish!
00:50:48 I've got my life and you can't have it!
00:50:51 I've got my life!
00:51:11 - Well, which are you?
00:51:13 That means nothing, idiot.
00:51:15 - 563.
00:51:23 564.
00:51:27 - Who's the god?
00:51:30 You have the privilege
00:51:35 Move.
00:51:39 565.
00:51:50 Go on, move.
00:52:15 That's all. Move on. Next two.
00:52:44 Put your back to it.
00:53:00 Move. Get your feet on the ground.
00:53:04 What are they doing?
00:53:06 They're sending us down to the next level
00:53:10 That's how you know
00:53:12 ...by how deep you're down.
00:53:14 They break you in gradually
00:55:44 Wait.
00:55:54 You've gotten used to the dark.
00:55:57 Did it take long?
00:55:59 Long enough.
00:56:02 It's got into me.
00:56:07 Come here.
00:56:16 What do you see?
00:56:27 You're blind.
00:56:29 Sulfur burns.
00:56:59 Dig.
00:57:06 Here.
00:57:17 You've got a partner there
00:57:21 Better learn from him.
00:57:30 How long has it been?
00:57:34 Who was emperor then?
00:57:38 Tiberius? That was long ago.
00:57:40 Almost in another world.
00:57:44 Here, I'm called Sahak.
00:57:51 That's mine.
00:57:54 Here.
00:57:57 Move!
00:58:05 You make this even a worse hell than it is.
00:58:10 You don't care how I got here...
00:58:13 ...but I'll tell you.
00:58:15 The ship I was serving on
00:58:19 Some of them got free.
00:58:21 Slipped over the side, during my watch.
00:58:26 So, the captain put the chains on me.
00:58:32 What about your world?
00:58:39 What's your name?
00:58:43 - I asked you what your name is.
00:58:47 If it's going to keep you quiet.
00:58:50 Barabbas.
00:58:54 What are you saying?
00:58:57 Barabbas.
00:59:00 What's the town you came from?
00:59:03 Jerusalem.
00:59:05 Are you the man they acquitted?
00:59:14 What is that to you?
00:59:26 Chained to you, of all men on Earth.
00:59:55 That's what I like to see, devils and beasts
01:00:00 Here's a head of you to hate each other.
01:00:04 Let's see you working.
01:00:12 Work!
01:01:30 Get out! Move!
01:01:47 You hate my name.
01:01:50 You hate the sound of it.
01:01:53 You weren't even in Jerusalem,
01:01:56 That's right. We hate it.
01:01:58 What does it matter?
01:02:01 - You know who was killed in your place?
01:02:04 So, why shouldn't we hate your name?
01:02:07 I thought what he said
01:02:19 I can't imagine...
01:02:24 ...he expects a man to have a spirit...
01:02:27 ...as strong and patient as a dray horse.
01:02:33 It was only something I was told.
01:02:37 If you think I got the best of it,
01:02:40 We've got a special duty for you two.
01:02:43 This'll show you what happens
01:03:23 Why isn't it all forgotten?
01:03:27 That's what I don't understand.
01:03:31 Who's been spreading things about?
01:03:38 What could kill it?
01:03:42 When you think it was God's will
01:03:47 I can see the reality of that.
01:03:50 Which is why the name of the Master
01:03:56 I began to meet it wherever I sailed:
01:04:00 Even at the Port of Rome.
01:04:03 I began to understand what it meant.
01:04:07 But...
01:04:11 ...it's a tough demand, the will of God.
01:04:15 I'm a poor hand at it.
01:04:21 Even though I've got his sign scratched
01:04:26 It means I belong to him,
01:04:30 It's the sign he has put on us all,
01:04:34 Look at this.
01:04:38 There's the shape of the cross.
01:04:41 Keep your God to yourself.
01:04:43 Why did you come here
01:04:47 What's going on down there?
01:04:54 Pull!
01:05:08 You think what it's like to me.
01:05:12 You're the only man I've met who saw him.
01:05:15 You were there at the beginning,
01:05:18 You won't tell me.
01:05:21 - What are you afraid of?
01:05:25 Then you can tell me.
01:05:28 You see the darkness that went
01:05:31 Suppose I did.
01:05:33 The man died in a dust storm,
01:05:38 Suppose his tomb was empty.
01:05:41 Can't a dead man be taken away?
01:05:45 That's all of your God you'll get out of me.
01:05:55 Here, what's the matter?
01:05:57 Come on, get up.
01:05:59 If they see you can't work
01:06:08 Hey! Away!
01:06:18 All right, wake up.
01:06:19 - Come on. Move out, all of you.
01:06:24 - You two, get your feet on the ground.
01:06:28 Root yourselves out! Move, I say!
01:06:34 Wake up.
01:06:38 All right, there's work to be done.
01:06:40 - You've had enough sleep now.
01:06:44 Come on, you! You, over there.
01:06:47 - Get on your feet, I say.
01:06:51 I said get on your feet, all of you.
01:06:56 - You've got to look as if you can work.
01:07:02 You can't stand up? Can't work?
01:07:08 I can work.
01:07:15 Here, this one's no use.
01:11:24 - How many survivors?
01:11:27 - It was like the end of the world to them.
01:11:31 - What did you say, sir?
01:11:34 Survivors!
01:11:35 Over here. Survivors.
01:11:37 Get ready to receive survivors!
01:11:51 Away.
01:11:53 Pull!
00:01:49 I can taste the salt in the air.
00:01:52 Every breath of wind is full of the sea.
00:01:57 I thought I could never love it
00:02:01 After the darkness of the mines...
00:02:05 ...I could go and drown in it
00:02:09 Now, are you glad to live?
00:02:13 What? Like a damned ox?
00:02:15 Salt me down
00:02:18 How many times were you swindled
00:02:23 You must've been the easiest game
00:02:26 - Why is that?
00:02:31 One smile...
00:02:33 ...and you trust the world
00:02:36 Yes, I trust it.
00:02:39 It has to be hard going...
00:02:40 ...or else how will the strength come
00:02:43 God should make himself plain
00:02:47 Am I the one who lets himself be swindled,
00:02:50 Every time he came near,
00:02:54 But it's never been out of your mind.
00:02:57 What other man's death
00:03:15 Stop there. Pull over to the side.
00:03:23 Rock to be carried.
00:04:02 Here.
00:04:30 It's a poor scratching, but the true sign.
00:04:34 Now will you leave me in peace?
00:04:45 All right, we go on.
00:05:03 Wait.
00:05:05 Julia, there are the two men
00:05:09 Send for them, Rufio. I want to see them.
00:05:11 - Bring those men over here to us.
00:05:17 Stop! These two.
00:05:22 Two men so strangely come up
00:05:25 Twenty years in the mines, the old one.
00:05:28 I heard so.
00:05:38 You've earned the air you breathe,
00:05:42 - What are your names?
00:05:45 - And yours?
00:05:48 What's your age?
00:05:51 What does it matter?
00:05:53 Indeed, what should it matter?
00:05:56 I must touch them
00:05:59 My wife thinks your merit is contagious.
00:06:02 All right,
00:06:04 Back now.
00:06:27 It's from the Emperor.
00:06:31 It seems the gods approve
00:06:34 We're to call to Rome.
00:06:35 - To Rome? What does it mean?
00:06:39 - We're to rise in the world.
00:06:44 It's true. They are charmed.
00:06:46 We must always take them with us.
00:06:49 I see, their success, not mine.
00:06:51 Nothing but amiable days from now on,
00:06:56 - When shall we go?
00:06:59 How wretched to arrive
00:07:43 Look over there.
00:10:53 Well, here we have to leave your luck
00:10:56 What do you mean?
00:10:59 They cannot fight yet.
00:11:02 And so they will.
00:11:04 But here we have to deliver them over.
00:11:08 When a charmed life turns professional,
00:11:13 Flacus, the Commander.
00:11:17 Our happiness is all here, Commander.
00:12:59 Unsurpassable. The Emperor
00:13:03 There's the third staff of liberty in his hand.
00:13:07 He knows his empire
00:13:10 Keep it he does.
00:13:15 Torvald, the Senator Rufio and his lady.
00:13:19 I'll take this life.
00:13:22 Can't a man be made mad
00:13:27 A man can understand this.
00:13:46 To throw the net, hold it to your right,
00:13:51 Then throw from the tips of your fingers,
00:13:57 Your places now.
00:13:59 One here, you here and you over there.
00:14:02 Now, start your practice. Throw your nets.
00:14:06 What's this?
00:14:08 Have they mistaken this place
00:14:12 The gray-haired one?
00:14:14 They say there's something remarkable
00:14:56 Show me what you can do, grandfather.
00:16:04 What do we do with aging fish,
00:16:07 It's time he was thrown to the gulls.
00:16:12 Let me be.
00:16:16 Hit! One!
00:16:18 Hit! Two!
00:16:35 You move on.
00:19:14 Bring out the first group of gladiators.
00:19:38 You remember me?
00:19:40 You drew the sign of the Master
00:19:43 How did you know I carried the sign?
00:19:45 Several days I've watched you
00:19:48 Can we speak freely?
00:19:50 He was there in Jerusalem.
00:19:55 God be praised and keep you safe.
00:20:00 The days have been getting darker for us.
00:20:04 The Emperor wants to destroy
00:20:13 But tomorrow, when the games are over
00:20:16 ...discipline will be lax...
00:20:18 ...and there may be a chance for me
00:20:22 The Master's disciple, Peter,
00:20:25 Seldom enough I find my way there,
00:20:29 The catacombs?
00:20:33 It may seem to you that the faith is buried.
00:20:35 But so is the seed
00:20:37 First group, assemble.
00:20:39 You shall see tomorrow
00:20:42 First group, assemble.
00:20:44 - Did you hear him, Barabbas?
00:20:55 One, two, one, two...
00:21:21 To your fighting places.
00:21:25 Go.
00:21:39 When you've taken up these positions
00:21:42 ...the trumpets will sound.
00:21:44 And from above you, there...
00:21:46 ...the white cloth will be thrown
00:21:48 When it touches the ground,
00:21:53 To make sure you understand,
00:22:36 Kill him! Kill him!
00:24:55 - That's an angry crowd.
00:24:57 They were driven to a frenzy by Sahak,
00:25:00 If the Emperor were here,
00:25:03 Wait till tomorrow.
00:25:05 He'll get his quota of killing,
00:25:08 - Not one life will he get from me.
00:25:10 Say that to the Emperor.
00:25:13 - When he says death, death it is.
00:25:16 - I only answer to him.
00:25:20 By God, if he contradicts the Emperor...
00:25:22 - Who do you call your God?
00:25:26 The rest are inventions of fear,
00:25:30 ...they can no more help you
00:25:33 Put 'em down.
00:25:34 - Insulting the gods before we go fight.
00:25:38 None at all. He doesn't exist.
00:25:40 Mars doesn't exist?
00:25:44 Will you keep your mouth shut?
00:25:46 The real God is greater
00:25:51 He made life as deep and strong
00:25:55 Your gods are as shallow
00:25:58 He's above us and around us, in us.
00:26:03 And he has one law
00:26:06 The law is love.
00:26:09 Whatever we do
00:26:13 And so that we should see
00:26:16 ...he sent his son to live the life of a man.
00:26:20 To show that God understands
00:26:24 - Who spun you this?
00:26:26 What good will he do us in the arena?
00:26:28 We'll lose the goodwill
00:26:31 Tomorrow in the arena, show the Emperor
00:26:36 Throw away your weapons.
00:26:38 Do you think all the things
00:26:41 ...have been made for no other reason
00:26:46 ...and spawn children and kill and die?
00:26:52 What a purpose for creation!
00:26:58 If anything's beyond belief, that is.
00:27:02 God said, "Burn away the old world...
00:27:06 "...and let a new one rise from the ashes."
00:27:09 As the Son of God rose from the dead,
00:27:14 Ask Barabbas here the truth
00:27:17 He saw with his own eyes the Son of God
00:27:20 Saw him die.
00:27:21 Was there, in the garden,
00:27:24 You saw him, Barabbas?
00:27:25 - Tell us what you saw.
00:27:28 A long time ago I saw a man.
00:27:31 Some people say he was...
00:27:33 ...the Son of God.
00:27:35 You've condemned yourselves.
00:27:37 I charge you with sedition
00:27:39 You're both under arrest.
00:27:41 Take them out and put them in chains.
00:27:49 Let me be sure you understand
00:27:55 Not only with holding views proscribed
00:27:59 ...for which the punishment is death,
00:28:03 ...to men sworn to the State's service.
00:28:07 What is more,
00:28:12 ...who brought you to this city...
00:28:14 ...and laid me under possible suspicion
00:28:19 The prospect is black for you.
00:28:22 You know what this is?
00:28:24 - The stamp of the Roman State.
00:28:33 What's this cut here?
00:28:36 The sign of my master.
00:28:39 - Who do you call your master?
00:28:44 - The Son of the Father.
00:28:48 A religion which sets itself up
00:28:52 Which denies the divine authority
00:28:56 Which preaches that the slave is equal
00:29:01 ...and would reduce society to anarchy.
00:29:07 Give me a direct answer.
00:29:12 I belong to the Lord, my god.
00:29:23 So, you also believe in this god?
00:29:27 Tell me, do you?
00:29:31 You don't?
00:29:33 Then why do you bear his name
00:29:37 Isn't he your god?
00:29:39 Isn't that what the inscription means?
00:29:44 I have no god.
00:29:47 I don't understand.
00:29:50 Why then do you bear this sign
00:29:57 Because I...
00:30:01 ...tried to believe.
00:30:08 I'll give you the opportunity
00:30:12 If you'll admit publicly
00:30:15 ...that all these things were lies,
00:30:21 Will you do this?
00:30:25 That would be to lose my life, not save it.
00:30:29 What I am is his.
00:30:32 But isn't life dear to you?
00:30:35 Yes, it is.
00:30:37 And you understand the cruel death
00:30:43 What do you choose?
00:30:47 I choose my god.
00:30:52 Then there is no more I can do for you.
00:30:55 Guilty of the charge.
00:30:58 Execution at sunrise.
00:31:01 You're as mad as your god.
00:31:05 You, come here.
00:31:31 Unwise to carry around with you
00:31:43 It may be the Master means you to live.
00:31:49 He may have some greater need of you.
00:31:53 Some other purpose, Barabbas.
00:31:56 - Something else.
00:31:58 Guards.
00:32:01 Now you'll have to be worth two men
00:32:04 You may go.
00:33:11 You are to witness the punishment
00:33:15 ...so that there can be no doubt
00:33:18 ...that the words he spoke to you
00:33:22 An iniquitous crime against the State.
00:33:25 Not only lies, but treasonable lies...
00:33:28 ...which were not only aimed
00:33:31 ...but also to pervert your minds...
00:33:34 ...from those acceptable religions
00:33:38 Any man who thinks
00:33:42 ...or thinks that he can repeat or conform
00:33:47 ...let him take warning from
00:33:52 Long live the Emperor!
00:33:56 Proceed, Torvald.
00:34:01 Positions.
00:34:07 Ready.
00:34:11 Throw.
00:34:15 Traitors and fools!
00:34:43 You'll wish this was better done.
00:45:12 Kill him! Kill him!
00:46:19 Gladiator Barabbas, you're becoming
00:46:25 For your remarkable persistence in life...
00:46:27 ...we have a traditional answer
00:46:33 We make you a free man.
00:46:37 Here is the symbol of your freedom.
00:50:02 I brought him to you.
00:50:05 This is where he would have wanted
00:50:08 Our brother Sahak.
00:50:41 So you had to carry
00:50:44 Did he have to die
00:50:46 Are you more concerned with his body
00:50:49 You were willing to let him
00:50:51 Why should you help him
00:50:53 How could I have helped him
00:50:56 He made his own death.
00:51:00 I had to go on living, he said.
00:51:03 - There was something I still had to do.
00:51:09 When the light shone,
00:51:12 When the dark came, you denied it.
00:51:15 When the spirit of God beckoned,
00:51:19 When Sahak says
00:51:23 ...why should you believe it?
00:51:25 To make a gag for your conscience,
00:51:29 You believe it because it suits you.
00:51:32 Or maybe if Sahak stood before you now
00:51:36 You would repent and love God.
00:51:39 It would be easy.
00:51:41 But what strength
00:51:46 What would it matter?
00:51:49 Jesus of Nazareth was killed instead of me.
00:51:55 There must have been a reason. Why me?
00:51:58 Why did he choose me?
00:52:06 Where have you gone?
00:52:09 You!
00:52:12 Where are you?
00:52:15 Wait for me.
00:52:17 Wait!
00:52:19 You wait!
00:52:42 For God's sake, where are you?
00:52:45 Show me the way! I'm lost!
00:52:55 Which way shall I go?
00:54:07 - What's happening?
00:54:09 Can't you see? Rome is burning.
00:54:55 - What happened to make the fire?
00:54:58 - Move! Move that case. Come on.
00:55:12 - The Christians are burning Rome!
00:55:15 Fire!
00:55:31 They're burning away the old world.
00:55:37 The new kingdom is coming.
00:55:42 God.
00:55:45 You won't find me failing this time.
00:57:15 What are you doing, madman?
00:57:17 Fire of God destroying the old world.
00:57:22 - Are you a Christian?
00:57:24 And I'm ready for Him!
00:57:27 The whole world will soon be ablaze.
00:57:32 We're burning the way.
00:57:35 We're ready for his coming.
00:57:40 - Take him away.
00:57:43 - The Master's coming to build a new world.
00:57:46 Let me go!
00:57:50 Let me go!
00:57:59 Here! Get yourself out of this one.
00:58:02 Here's one of your kind who was caught
00:58:10 He admits he's a Christian,
00:58:15 The only honest man among you.
00:58:22 Who are you?
00:58:25 Is it true?
00:58:28 Yes.
00:58:29 - We've never seen you before.
00:58:33 My name is Barabbas.
00:58:36 - Barabbas, the robber.
00:58:40 This burning city is no work of ours.
00:58:43 This isn't how the new kingdom
00:58:47 You were wrong.
00:58:49 Who are you to tell me I'm wrong?
00:58:53 Many years ago we spoke together.
00:58:56 You remember?
00:58:58 No.
00:59:00 You asked me why I was making a net
00:59:07 Jerusalem.
00:59:11 The street of the potters.
00:59:13 You were mistaken of us then
00:59:20 We didn't set fire to the city.
00:59:22 You've done the work of the wild beast,
00:59:24 - Are you a lunatic?
00:59:28 Why can't God make himself plain?
00:59:33 What's become of all the fine hopes?
00:59:35 The trumpets, the angels?
00:59:39 All the promises?
00:59:42 Every time I've seen it end up the same
00:59:47 ...with no good come of it.
00:59:59 All for nothing.
01:00:00 Do you think they persecute us
01:00:05 Or do you think that
01:00:08 ...for twenty years has been nothing?
01:00:11 It wasn't for nothing that Christ died.
01:00:16 In his eyes,
01:00:20 He loves each man
01:00:23 I was the opposite of everything he taught,
01:00:28 Why did he let himself be killed
01:00:30 Because being farthest from him,
01:00:35 - I'm no nearer than I was before.
01:00:40 The truth of the matter is,
01:00:47 I can tell you this.
01:00:50 There has been a wrestling in your spirit,
01:00:54 ...which in itself is knowledge of God.
01:01:00 I can tell you as well, that so it will be
01:01:04 That wrestling back and forth
01:01:09 ...like a woman in childbirth.
01:01:14 We are only the beginning.
01:01:16 We won't see the time
01:01:20 And yet, even now, even here...
01:01:23 ...we are at the end ourselves.
01:01:27 The kingdom is within us.
01:01:30 There is nothing more to fear.
01:01:33 Upon us, the years will be built.
01:01:39 The ground of men is very stubborn
01:01:43 But men will look back to us in our day
01:01:52 It is the end of the day.
01:01:56 We shall trust ourselves to a little pain...
01:02:00 ... and sleep.
01:02:02 Saying to the world:
01:02:05 "God's speed."
01:02:25 What hour is it?
01:02:29 Night or day?
01:02:41 The sixth hour goes...
01:02:45 ...when darkness...
01:03:07 Darkness...
01:03:14 I give myself up...
01:03:17 ...into your keeping.
01:03:36 It is...
01:03:38 ...Barabbas.
