Ben-Hur (2016) Edit

A bet like that's not customary.

A civilized world, progress, prosperity, stability.

A few.

A gift brought by a messenger with an invitation to meet.

A grand arena, ten years in the making.

A life worse than death!

A rich Jew sentenced to a slow death.

A Zealot, and that he will be subject today

Accused of what?

African! What's the name of the driver?

After all these years, you still sound like

After everything we've done for you,

Against your pride.

Ah, here's your friend.

Ah, I'm sorry I left you alone with her.

Aliyah is sick, but that's my dilemma.

Aliyah!

Aliyah.

Aliyah... Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

All are dead to the last man.

All I ask in return,

All of those citizens who stand to gain when you beat my man?

All Romans won't die.

All the way back. Back!

All they want from Rome is their land back.

All together!

All you can do is outlive them.

All you Romans will die!

An attack on you is an attack on Rome.

An attack wasn't needed. My orders were to pacify the city.

An example needs to be made.

And at the house of Hur.

And at what cost?

And be branded as a coward? I'll die first.

And build their circus.

And Caesar answers with less bread and more circuses.

And calms them with compassion.

And crush you under their wheels.

And desire for revenge.

And every time my name is spoken,

And for what?

And forget what you have lost.

And give thanks for his virtue and his mercy

And his champion, Messala.

And how he wailed when he was crucified.

And I can take you to your family.

And I knew you'd appreciate him.

And I will try to guide you.

And if I die, I'll drag you beneath the ground beside me!

And if the Romans won't give it to us, we'll have to take it by force.

And if you can't do that,

And in the days that followed.

And it's not appropriate.

And let the people know, Messala,

And move!

And now you think you know something about suffering.

And opinion makers, and most of them want peace.

And remember, Judah, first to finish,

And row!

And row!

And row!

And row!

And row!

And row!

And that doesn't move you?

And the ones we love.

And the unbeaten

And they betrayed you.

And they spit my grandfather's name in my face

And what does that matter?

And when I do, I'll kill you!

And where will your love be when the Romans

And which are you?

And who cares what Mother wants?

And you chose the traitors over me!

And you were right about life as a soldier.

And your god

And?

And...

And...

And...

Another trick for you!

Any and all claims against him are quit.

Any survivors?

Any, and all.

Anyone who doesn't get the message,

Anything would have sufficed.

Approaching!

Arabia,

Are we having fun now, brother?

Are we?

Are you as treasonous as you are useless?

Are you aware who's riding to this city?

Are you not Roman?

Arrows!

As I lay there, I...

As long as I live, I'll claw at you.

As time passed,

As with all the others I've sent over the past three years,

At the head of a legion.

Attention!

Battering ram on the starboard side!

Battle speed!

Battle speed!

Be aware of the drivers' tricks.

Be quick about it. Bring the servants, too.

Be safe. Return home.

Be strong, Master Judah.

Beat him in their circus.

Because we've run out of time.

Before we leave for Jerusalem.

Better than what?

Blades in!

Brace for impact!

Break down the door.

Breathing still?

Brother, don't!

Brother, I've been away a long time.

Bury us together, put us all to rest.

But I can't complain.

But I had them intercepted.

But I know "soon" isn't soon enough for her.

But it is sport.

But it's our responsibility to take care of ourselves

But my father was able bodied, so the Romans killed him.

But nothing special. Just a simple meal.

But so much more than other people do.

But that man offers the people something more,

But that's life.

But that's life.

But the reality is very different.

But there is another way.

But this man has done nothing wrong!

But we crushed the freedom of innocent civilizations

But wealth doesn't mean anything.

But with courage and practice, it can be mastered.

But you spoiled me for others.

But you've crushed an entire people.

But, brother, I do have news to tell you.

But, Judah, if they don't matter, then tell me who they are.

But, Mother, he looks like he's in so much pain.

By humiliating you in one of those chariots you Romans so love.

By serving others?

Caesar demands that we retaliate.

Calm down, Judah!

Calm down.

Captain Messala Severus. These are your men now.

Careful, careful.

Catapults ready!

Catch him! Do not let him escape!

Chains!

Chains.

Change him out.

Cheat!

Cheat? All is fair to you Romans!

Climb the ladder!

Come on, Judah.

Come on, let's get something to eat.

Come on, Messala!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on.

Come on.

Come see what you did to me.

Come.

Come. Follow me.

Condolences on your loss.

Confess your crime, or they all stand accused!

Confess your crime!

Congratulations, African.

Contact imminent!

Cost me a small fortune.

Could be an example of unity in this divided land.

Could you help me to my bedroom, please?

Coward.

Dangerous territory. Pirates and marauders.

Dear Lord, please help us!

Death or peace.

Defend this house.

Despite the wonderful life we have together,

Did I make that clear?

Did we have fun?

Did you lie or do you collaborate?

Dismas, it's a little bit of pain and then it's done.

Dismas!

Disqualify him,

Do as you please.

Do you know what's ahead for us?

Do you realize what you've just done?

Do you see what's happening here?

Do you understand me?

Doesn't he look just like Zeus?

Don't burn out your horse too soon.

Don't care.

Don't embarrass yourself!

Don't look back, Judah.

Don't mock.

Don't spit your hate for all when you don't even know one.

Don't stand so far away. Come close.

Don't they teach subtlety in Caesar's army?

Don't think you know me.

Don't you see we've been given a second chance?

Don't! Please don't!

Down! Mother, get Tirzah down!

Drag every one of them in here, now!

Dragged through the streets, his throat slit like a hog.

Drink.

Drink. Please drink.

Drum!

Drum! And...

Drum! Where's the drum?

Drusus, move forward!

Drusus, this is insanity! You know we've done nothing wrong.

Drusus. What's happened to you?

Each one of us has a choice.

Egypt

Eleven! Ten!

Enjoy this lap!

Enough!

Esther, I need to ask something of you.

Esther, I'm not denying the fact that the world is a cruel place.

Esther, what is it?

Esther!

Esther!

Esther!

Esther?

Esther? Esther?

Esther.

Esther.

Esther.

Esther.

Esther.

Esther's father found a wealthy Roman for her to marry.

Ethiopia,

Even though you know who the guilty are.

Every day for five years I asked myself the same questions.

Everybody, just act normal.

Everyone! Listen to me! We need to keep moving!

Everything I own is yours.

Excuse me?

Execute them in the name of the Emperor.

Faith brought you back to me.

Faith wasn't strong enough.

Father,

Fetch him! Fetch him!

Find something for yourself.

Find the ones who did this and kill them!

Fire pit ready! Open the oil barrels!

Fireballs.

Five years in the gut of a slave ship.

Five years of pain after twenty of privilege,

Five years.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine,

Follow me. Follow me. This way.

For Rome!

For the first time in Judean history.

For the right price, they'll let you do anything.

For there is no "you" anymore!

For they know not what they do.

Forget about them!

Forgive me.

Forgive them,

Forgiveness and understanding had reunited the family.

Free to engage! Quickly!

Friends of Rome!

From what I can see, you get young boys injured.

Full speed! Stick to it!

Full speed! Stick to it!

Gesius, they are dying. Let us take them.

Get away from me!

Get back!

Get it now!

Get out of the way!

Get ready!

Get some water.

Get up, Judah.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up. On your feet.

Get us up there!

Give them a shame they will understand.

Give them a show, the people will cheer you.

Give yourselves over to the drum!

Go and get a candle. Go.

Go to bed.

Go with God.

Go, Aliyah!

Go, go, go!

Go, go!

Go!

Go!

Go. Go!

God is love. He made us to share that love.

God punishes just as God forgives.

Going to run this. One time.

Good advice.

Good girl.

Good girl. Good girl.

Good girl. Good girl.

Good girl. Here we are.

Good move, Judah. Good move.

Good night.

Good to see you, Simon. God bless you.

Good?

Good.

Good. It will get better.

Good. Steady.

Greece,

Greece, Persia, Egypt.

Greek rebels ambushed our ships.

Greeks on board!

Hailing from Persia,

Hands on oars!

Hands on oars! On my count!

Hands on! Hands on oar!

Hands on.

Hang on!

Hate and fear are lies.

Hate, anger, fear.

Have no fear of the Zealots.

Have you been to the hillside?

Have you ever had a conversation with a single one in your life?

Have you seen the twenty they've crucified?

He gave me a chance.

He has a path planned for you.

He really is a beautiful horse.

He reminded me of what we were fighting for.

He was branded a rebel.

He will do whatever he must to win.

He'll pay for what he's done to us.

He's a Roman. That's all the reason you need.

He's badly hurt. What have you done?

He's become the pride of Roman Judea.

He's called for idiots to fight and die.

He's coming.

He's confessed.

He's just a Jew.

He's lying.

He's our Savior! Please let him go!

He's outside playing in the sun.

He's the commander of the garrison,

Hear my plea.

Hearing about it from travelers.

Heed my drum!

Help!

Here we are.

Here, take the reins.

Here, try it.

His hand in betraying Julius Caesar.

His name was Pontius Pilate.

Hmm?

Holding onto the hope that the two brothers

Holy men.

Horses!

How am I better off than a slave?

How could this be?

How do I get to him?

How is it you weren't put directly to the sword?

How is she?

How long were you a galley slave?

How many men does it take to get you dressed in the morning?

How many Romans do you even know?

How pathetic it must be when your sole motivator is greed.

How will you race with only three horses?

How would you know?

How?

How's he?

Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Hurry up! Move!

Hurry!

I always prefer not to see my food before I eat it.

I asked what you were accused of.

I asked you brother to brother to help me.

I battled and marched through countries

I became hate.

I beg you. If there's even a chance they're alive...

I begged you!

I bring greetings and congratulations

I can help her.

I can help her.

I can only hope that it is by your choice and not by the way of your demise.

I can't believe this.

I can't fight anymore.

I can't hate anymore.

I can't.

I confess, please.

I couldn't let her go.

I couldn't see anything.

I did it for Messala. He cherished your sister.

I did what I could. It's better this way...

I don't care about their politics. I just care about keeping the peace.

I don't know, Prefect.

I don't know.

I don't know. That you're alive? That you're well?

I don't need you to speak to them. I need you to sway them.

I expect no response.

I expect that bill to be paid.

I gave my blessing knowing in my heart it was a mistake.

I give it of my own free will.

I had one just like her.

I had to be able to come back on my own terms.

I have a small gift from my travels.

I have family there.

I have it. It's not your place.

I have to go with him.

I have to speak to Messala Severus. He knows me!

I have two!

I haven't changed that much, have I, brother?

I haven't changed that much, have I?

I haven't done anything. It was an accident.

I hope this letter finds you well, if at all.

I hope you're proud of yourselves.

I imagine there were many in Rome who found that very entertaining.

I just need to get to Messala.

I just want to experience it.

I know horses.

I know what it's like to want to take your feelings out on others.

I know what this is! This is a Senet board.

I know when I found you, you were almost dead.

I know where your family is.

I know. I look like a monster.

I led my men from battle to battle, to the heights of glory.

I lost him.

I may kill him first.

I may kill your brother one day.

I met him.

I miss my boy.

I need to redress the wound.

I need your knife.

I owe this man my life.

I promise. A simple meal.

I remember you.

I said get out!

I said on your feet!

I saw much blood spilled.

I see they've sold you on the romance of fighting,

I see you.

I should think crushing one man wouldn't be difficult.

I should.

I shouldn't have run.

I swear, I'll kill him!

I thought you were the son of God!

I told him Aliyah should be on the inside.

I told you to stay away from him, Judah. I warned you!

I traveled my "all Romans must die" phase,

I want to give you this.

I wanted to be able to return the favor.

I was accused.

I was born to station.

I was reminded of how I used to jest to Mother

I was run through, I thought fatally, and...

I watched my father be killed.

I will be back for you!

I will find a way for us if that's what you still want.

I will leave this with you

I will listen to stories of your travels.

I will take them.

I will.

I will.

I wished I could see you again.

I won't condone violence.

I won't go that easy.

I won't let him go unpunished for what he's done to us.

I would have died with my family.

I would never do this to you. I would never...

I'd rather she was paying attention to you

I'll be back for them.

I'll be back, I swear.

I'll give 3 to 1 odds on all bets.

I'll have to turn you over to the Romans.

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him! I swear!

I'll kill him.

I'll kill you on the next one!

I'll kill you!

I'll make myself whole again, I swear,

I'll speak to my people, find out what I can.

I'll take all collaborators!

I'm asking you to remember that Judah is your brother.

I'm betting that my driver will be victorious over

I'm fine.

I'm going to race Messala in the circus.

I'm informing Pilate.

I'm just a lowly orphan your family took in.

I'm meant to be dead.

I'm not betting the field.

I'm not going to name names.

I'm not here to cause trouble.

I'm not saying you're a brute, I'm saying you're brutish.

I'm not sure you want to hear everything.

I'm sure they will.

I'm tired of reading about it,

I'm... Please.

I've brought the Jew.

I've come to tell you of the hell you'll unleash.

I've done a lot of work with this.

I've filled my life in other ways.

I've found people to care for. People who care for me.

I've lost my brother.

I've missed you so much.

I've seen him do acts of grace so small,

I've seen it before. It's called farcy.

I've spoken to prominent citizens.

I've taken the blame!

I've taken the blame! I've taken the blame!

I've tried every other way.

I've tried to deal with them peacefully. Peace doesn't work.

If God is righteous, then we should do righteous things.

If He has a path planned for me,

If he wouldn't save her himself,

If I come back now, believe me, it's important.

If I didn't, you'd have nothing to complain about.

If Messala is the pride of Rome,

If people are dead, that's on Rome.

If people took care of themselves, we'd all be saved.

If that's not enough, how about this?

If there is a God, then why doesn't He do right by the world?

If they had their way,

If they resist, kill them.

If this ship goes down,

If we stay idle, we all die.

If you ever find their graves,

If you have something to say to her, say it yourself.

If you leave me, you leave me with nothing.

If you love us, forget about us.

If you rule as occupiers, you will be met with disaster, I promise.

If you want to offer up another lifeless husk

If your father was alive, he would support us.

If your father was alive, he would support us.

Ilderim, be careful.

Ilderim, move out of the way!

Ilderim, you must allow me this.

Ilderim.

Impostor!

In a few days, he wants to ride through Jerusalem

In spite of that, I'm thankful Pilate's on my side, brother.

In the circus,

In the circus,

In the name of Caesar, you are under arrest.

In the pitch!

In the time of the Messiah,

In this circus.

Independence from Caesar, ending the occupation of the Holy Land.

Ionian water!

Is more dangerous than all of the Zealots combined.

Is she hurt?

Is that why you're going to Jerusalem?

Is the glory of Rome!

It can be treated with charcoal.

It is an empire nourished by blood

It is striking.

It reminded me of you.

It was a quick death?

It was me, I did it. I confess!

It was me.

It was never their land. It belonged to you, the wealthy.

It will be spoken alongside stories of my grandfather.

It won't save them.

It would give me nothing but joy

It's a celebration of your faith, not mine.

It's a dangerous maneuver, of course,

It's all about balance, Judah.

It's all right, go inside.

It's all right.

It's called the "gate."

It's Judah.

It's Judah.

It's something other than loneliness.

It's the only life I know.

It's the only way to end this.

It's the truth.

It's your son.

It's...

Jacob, stop. He's my brother.

Jacob.

Jerusalem.

Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus?

Judah Ben Hur?

Judah Ben Hur.

Judah Ben Hur.

Judah was thrown from his horse.

Judah,

Judah, I tried. I saved them. I saved them!

Judah, please, wait.

Judah, please.

Judah, what are you doing?

Judah, will you tell her...

Judah, you can't give up hope.

Judah, you promised to help me!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah!

Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Judah! Judah!

Judah! Judah! Pull back! Pull back!

Judah?

Judah?

Judah?

Judah?

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah.

Judah. Judah.

Judah's father passed away

Judah's hurt! Someone help!

Judea.

Just survive.

Kadeem!

Kadeem?

Kadeem.

Keep moving!

Keep rowing if you want to live!

Keep rowing if you want to live!

Keep rowing!

Keep rowing!

Kill him!

Kill the leper!

Kill the leper!

Killing doesn't get us up from under.

Know the world you live in, Judah.

Knowing the thought of her son, a prince,

Last to die.

Lay back. Let the other drivers fight for position.

Let him up.

Let me find my family.

Let me show you something.

Let Messala go.

Let us make this a glorious day

Let's go. Stay with me.

Let's lift the line, oarsmen!

Like we were family. We're not family, are we?

Listen to me. If you take them into a gallop...

Listen to us!

Listen, Judah, your pride...

Listen, you're a prince. You have the ear of your people.

Look around you.

Look at me, please, brother.

Look at them.

Look at this.

Look at yourself!

Look, tell Tirzah...

Look, Zealots are the common enemy.

Loss?

Lost quite a bit of blood.

Love is our true nature.

Love your enemies.

Love your neighbor as we love ourselves.

Mama!

Marcus!

Marcus.

Mark my words, Messala, this is the poison.

Marrying a servant would send her to an early grave.

Me, too.

Me.

Men gathered here today

Messala rides like the devil.

Messala Severus, his adopted brother, a Roman.

Messala Severus?

Messala was down when we entered.

Messala,

Messala, a notice has come from the lonian Sea.

Messala, admit it.

Messala, help us!

Messala, I won't be bullied into this decision.

Messala, kill him!

Messala, please don't do it.

Messala, please help us!

Messala, please help us.

Messala, please, I'm begging you.

Messala, stop.

Messala, they don't matter.

Messala, wait. Wait!

Messala!

Messala!

Messala!

Messala!

Messala!

Messala! Messala!

Messala! Messala!

Messala! Messala! Messala!

Messala?

Messala? Messala?

Messala.

Messala.

Messala.

Messala.

Messala.

Mind your business.

Mmm. Judah, listen.

More than I can describe.

More thankful to see you.

Mother, it's me. It's Judah.

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

Move forward!

Move forward!

Move him! Come on, move him!

Move!

Move!

Move!

Move!

Move! Move!

Mum...

My book is open.

My chariot.

My family, they have done nothing wrong.

My God, you still have it.

My helmet.

My husband.

My life,

My love to your family.

My money...

My mother was fertile, so they did other things to her.

My past is lost to me.

My son spoke up for liberation.

My son, will he live?

My true fight became with my commander,

Nanny. Nanny, help. Take him. Take him.

Neither are you.

No one here has done anything. I beg you, please,

No water for him!

No water for him!

No water for him.

No wrong.

No, a doctor would inform the centurions.

No, don't.

No, forgive me.

No, I said I would speak to the people. And I have.

No, I'm Judah. I'm Judah.

No, Judah Ben Hur.

No, Judah!

No, Judah.

No, Messala.

No, no, no, I'm safe. I'm staying in a cabin outside the garden gate.

No, not yet.

No, wait! Please!

No, you can tell her yourself. She's not yet married.

No, you must have faith, Judah.

No!

No!

No.

No.

No. I'll never have your name.

No. No.

No. She's dying.

No. The circus is a blood sport,

Nobody's asking your permission.

Not anymore.

Not appropriate for who?

Not from any of you.

Not good.

Not here. Not in Jerusalem.

Not in this life.

Not one Greek will step aboard my ship.

Not the one they'd make of you.

Not vengeance.

Nothing like one.

Nothing.

Now get out.

Now I can.

Now tell me something honestly. Look me in the eyes.

Now you do.

Now, when the race begins, do not try to take the lead.

Now, when you cut first, they'll tend to put you up on one wheel.

Now, you're welcome to stay here as long as you need.

Number 61.

Oars up!

Oars up.

Oh, don't look so worried.

Oh, for God's sake, more normal.

Oh, I'm sorry. I failed to mention that.

Oh, I've missed you.

Oh, Judah, forgive me.

Oh, Judah.

Oh, let me help you.

Oh, my God, you're alive.

Oh, my God. Of course we're family!

Oh, no, that's okay. I don't want anything.

Oh, so, you've come to ask for my public humiliation.

Oh, that's low!

Oh. Oh, Aliyah. Shh.

Oh...

Okay.

Okay.

Old men wager on young men who race chariots.

On the ground with all of them!

On the opening of your games, Prefect.

On your feet!

One more lap to go!

One never knows.

One night in Persia...

Onwards! Quickly!

Open the door!

Open this door!

Open this door!

Or at least let me find out what happened to them.

Or, disqualify yourself.

Orders were to gather stones to build the circus.

Otherwise you're just walking away.

People of Jerusalem.

People starve, the masses are enslaved,

Peter! Peter! No trouble.

Peter.

Pilate ordered your family to be crucified,

Please help!

Please, I need you to help me.

Please, Messala! No!

Please, pay me,

Please, sir, this has been a mistake.

Please, take me.

Please!

Please.

Please.

Pontius Pilate has to ride through Jerusalem with no trouble.

Prepare a horse for him.

Prepare for battle!

Prepare the room for Master Judah.

Prince Judah Ben Hur, a Jew.

Pull back!

Pull him out. Brother...

Pull twenty **** from the streets.

Put him to death!

Put it down.

Put the knife down.

Quick, fetch a doctor for your brother.

Quick, get him on the rack.

Quickly.

Races chariots in Caesar's name.

Raise the trident!

Ramming speed!

Ramming speed!

Ready arrows!

Ready!

Ready?

Release him.

Remember me when you come into your kingdom.

Remember when we were young?

Repeated attacks have left them with little patience.

Restore him by the skin.

Reverse on my count!

Reverse with everything we have.

Reverse!

Reverse!

Reverse!

Reverse!

Reverse!

Right, but who?

Romans take the stones of our ancestors

Rome doesn't keep prisoners, it executes them.

Rome has come to lay a hard hand on the city.

Rome!

Rome's calling for blood. I have to give them some.

Row!

Row!

Row!

Row!

Safer than with you.

Same as you, I'm here for the love of sport.

Same as you.

Search every room!

Sedition.

Seems even.

Sent to the caves at Timnath Serah.

She asks me every day. I tell her, "Soon."

She hasn't run in a while. She couldn't keep the pace.

She is now my wife, brother.

She is taking the charcoal, though.

She looks well.

She's asking for too much.

Shields up!

Ship down on the starboard side!

Shorten those reins!

Shorten up your reins, Judah!

Simonides, go to bed. Messala!

Simonides!

Simply because they were different.

Sink them.

Sir!

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit.

Sleepless nights in the mud. Cold and wet.

So do you.

So I can come back to Tirzah with stature and wealth.

So what happened with you and Tirzah?

So you can say you evened up with the Romans?

So you do know something about horses.

So you don't harbor Zealots.

So you spoke with your people.

So you're going to stand idle,

So, charlatans, religious indoctrinators,

So, where do I have to go to make a bet?

So, you have to learn how to tilt.

So...

Soldiers!

Some local thugs and radicals. No one of any importance.

Someone help us.

Someone must know.

Someone should help him.

Spend it on hatred, then you're still a slave.

Stand as a warning.

Stand back! Stand back!

Stand by, bow!

Starboard side clear!

Statues are made of marble, not clay.

Stay back!

Stay back! I'll kill him!

Stay back.

Step aside!

Step back!

Step forward!

Stop it.

Stop those horses!

Stop! Stop! Stop her!

Stop. Stop.

Stretcher bearer, over here.

Surround this house!

Syria...

Take him out.

Take him, and give him a thief's reward.

Take me with you.

Take their pride.

Take them all.

Take your winnings.

Talk to you one last time.

Ten to one.

Testudo!

Than some other brute.

Thank you,

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank your Messala for that.

Thankfully, we've been able to retain their favor.

Thanks.

That carpenter, he showed you kindness

That drum is your heartbeat!

That enough to make you reconsider?

That one day we would wed...

That Roman orphan who turned up on our doorstep.

That should my driver cross the line first,

That sounds wonderful.

That was hate.

That wasn't faith.

That's a serious charge.

That's all I'm asking.

That's better than being alone with my guilt.

That's it! Come on! Let's move out!

That's my brother's bow.

That's probably the best idea.

That's very generous against a strong field.

That's what kept me alive.

That's when you know

That's where I'm from.

The "gate," Judah! The "gate"!

The arrow!

The Astroea was lost in battle.

The bargain is this, Judah Ben Hur.

The circus.

The circus.

The days of forgiveness are behind them.

The Emperor's called for men to put down the rebellion in Germania.

The entire third fleet is lost.

The entries are long closed.

The finest silk in all of Egypt.

The High Priests, you in the privileged class...

The horses! Get the horses!

The Hurs are your family.

The man you love is a Roman!

The man you love is a Roman!

The message of Jesus.

The one not in chains.

The other one I can't show you. I...

The pay's steady.

The people you run with now are trouble.

The people's gratitude for your bloodless suppression.

The Prefect is celebrating himself with a tremendous circus

The race will bring him to you.

The rest of us get scraps.

The riches we can make in Rome? Eh?

The roads are lined with the sick and poor.

The Roman Empire grows to span thousands of miles.

The Romans continue to leave their mark

The same faith that kept you alive.

The world you live in is Rome's.

The Zealots.

Their excessive nature lines my purses.

Their laws.

Their power.

Then get ready to down this door!

Then he's a thief.

Then I need you to tell me who our enemies are.

Then I would save him from his own mistake.

Then we're agreed!

Then where will our freedom be?

There is no law.

There is no right,

There is no victory in this.

There is strategy, and you have to know it.

There must be something better.

There was at least one man. He escaped over this balcony.

There were many miracles that day,

There will be fewer and fewer chariots.

There'll be opportunities to race.

There's been an attack at the cemetery. Zealots.

There's freedom elsewhere.

There's no reason to keep them here.

There's no stopping it.

There's none.

There's nothing here for you anymore.

There's nothing to speak of.

There's talk. A Roman attacked at the house of Hur.

There's truth to what he's saying.

These are Judean graves.

They are.

They can't die.

They deserve justice for what's happened to them.

They fight, they disrupt.

They poured through the encampment under cover of night.

They turn our brothers into slaves

They turn us against each other.

They want blood.

They were as devoted to each other as they were competitive.

They will invite you to their games to watch others suffer

They will leave you with nothing but bitterness...

They will take everything you have.

They won't let me race.

They'll bring the whole of Rome down on us.

They'll kill me.

They'll kill them.

They're all Romans now.

They're beyond us both.

They're dead.

They're going to bolt.

They're harnessed wrong. Aliyah should be here.

They're lepers, they'd be stoned in the street!

They're Romans, Judah.

Things you and I believe in, Judah.

Thirteen!

This house is sovereign. This house...

This is a Greek sea now!

This is a private gathering, old man. Move on.

This is Captain Drusus, my second in command.

This is how Jerusalem welcomes us?

This is the spina.

This is Vilarius. I know him.

This is where I'll be.

This is your home, this is your land, too.

This Jesus of Nazareth

This ship is your body.

This wise old man once told me,

Those are lies they use to turn you against each other.

Those are the lies that make us slaves.

Those who live by the sword, will die by the sword.

Three laps to go!

Three thousand gold pieces.

Tirzah, move! Get inside. Inside!

Tirzah, wait for me.

Tirzah, what's happened?

Tirzah! Run!

Tirzah?

Tirzah?

Tirzah.

Tirzah.

Tirzah's good, she's well.

To be honest, no one's guilty of anything except being sick of Rome's oppression.

To be honest, nothing good.

To build their circus.

To do otherwise would put my camp in jeopardy.

To fight the good fight,

To finish the race,

To give hope and promise for a better way.

To keep the faith.

To know it was in your hands and lay forever idle.

To the customary punishment of crucifixion.

To the galleys?

To think you were just a lowly Hur before you left.

Today, you will be with me in paradise.

Together...

Tribune Messala has promised there'll be no trouble.

Trident!

Try keeping up, Judah!

Turn their anger on the rest of us?

Twelve!

Twenty eight!

Twenty five!

Twenty nine!

Twenty one! Twenty!

Twenty seven!

Twenty two!

Twenty, I would say.

Two months ago,

Two riders part, suck you in between them,

Until I earn it back.

Until the race is settled.

Up we go, come on. Up. Up.

Up we go. Come on. Come on.

Up we go. Good girl.

Up.

Very nice.

Wait to hear from me.

Wait, please! Please! No!

Wait!

Wait. Stop! Stop!

Wait. Wait!

Wait. Wait.

Wait. What do you mean, you're going to Rome?

Wake up!

Wake up. Come on.

Walk through the portal!

Wandering around the desert with nothing, for nothing.

Was there ever a kind more obsessed with the obscene?

Watch the oil!

Watch your back, brother!

We can cause a scandal. Come on.

We celebrate the power of man!

We deserve to die for our crimes!

We don't kill all Romans.

We had no way of...

We have 19! Take one, leave the other!

We have different gods, Messala.

We have different gods.

We have something in common, at least.

We need a doctor.

We need to keep moving!

We need to keep moving.

We need to stamp out revolt in every corner of the Empire.

We need to wake them up.

We pay tribute to Caesar

We ram! We ram hard!

We should be grateful we're not one of them.

We should do something.

We still have to find you something special.

We want the freedom we were born with.

We will discharge him outside the garrison

We will make arrests.

We will not lose this battle before we start.

We will work with local people.

We'll find an answer for.

We're friends of Rome.

We're healed.

We're lepers. Get out.

We're not trying to balance anything.

We've done nothing. We've done nothing!

We've heard the stories about your grandfather.

Welcome home.

Well, come on, tell me. Tell me everything.

Well, for now.

Well, if you want to call anywhere home again,

Well, Mother missed you every day.

Well, that's not very comforting to the dead ones.

Well, that's the virtue of wine. It doesn't discriminate.

Well, we can give people something to talk about.

Well, who will till the field or harvest...

Well, you should be happy. You deserve to be.

Well, you think they're just gonna give it to you?

Were they crucified?

Were they Zealots?

What am I supposed to do with them?

What are doing? We've done nothing!

What are their names?

What are you doing? Leave my daughter alone!

What do you want?

What else do I have?

What happened to my mother and sister?

What happened to you?

What happened, Lucius?

What happens there is sport,

What have you done?

What is going on?

What is that?

What is your name?

What kind of life is that?

What should I do?

What twenty?

What were you accused of?

What were your men doing here?

What would I say?

What? What are you looking at?

What's being said about Pontius Pilate?

What's happened?

What's the value of a Jew to a Roman?

What's the wager?

What's this about?

What's this?

What's wrong with you? It's supposed to be a celebration.

What's wrong?

What's your name?

Whatever happens now, you did this!

When I can, I spread the Word.

When I was hurt and you carried me

When no one else would.

When she broke stride, she incited the others.

When the Zealots are done with us, they'll turn on you.

When they pass, you should bow your head.

When they strike, take it.

When you come home, I will honor the monstrosity

When you set aside the hate they force you to carry,

When you're well, you should go back to your family.

Where are they buried?

Where are they buried?

Where are you going?

Where are you taking him?

Where have they taken them?

Where is my mother and sister?

Where's Messala?

Which is why it's important for you to stay back.

Who shot the arrow?

Who shot the arrow?

Who shot the arrow?

Who shot the arrow?

Who shot...

Who's there?

Whoa, now! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Aliyah.

Why are we so slow?

Why are we so slow?

Why didn't you write?

Why don't you ask her?

Why haven't you attacked the city?

Why would you save them?

Why?

With all your strength for as long as you could.

With each successive lap,

With the agreement

With the last of me, I'll choke the life from you!

Women to the cross, men to the galleys!

Wow.

Yes, he is.

Yes, of course.

Yes, one of you will die.

Yes!

Yes. I spoke to some of the local rabbis

You always cared deeply for my family.

You and Judah can make things right.

You and your family are royalty.

You are an escaped prisoner.

You are free.

You are like an angel.

You can't beat them.

You can't help us.

You can't kill them quickly enough.

You can't race him.

You can't stay in Jerusalem. This isn't the place...

You cannot fight them in the streets.

You chose the Zealots over me.

You condemned them to a life worse than death.

You confuse peace with freedom.

You couldn't go near him.

You did that.

You didn't save them!

You don't really believe in a return to the Age of Solomon.

You don't remember.

You feed my beauties.

You forced my hand, Judah.

You get Caesar's favor in exchange for obedience.

You go away!

You have me.

You heard him, stand back!

You idiot!

You keep my family and my house clean of this.

You killed them both.

You know his name.

You know our aim.

You know there's a whole world beyond Jerusalem.

You know this scar, of course.

You know, he's twice as fast, though.

You know, Mother has hopes for a grandchild.

You know, your mother used to interrupt us.

You look like one of those statues

You look like the clay they make them from.

You make the order.

You must believe there's a better way.

You must have a hundred men fighting over you.

You never forget a man who's held a knife to your throat.

You never got married.

You owe me your life.

You promised entry without incident.

You race chariots?

You ready, brother?

You recognize him?

You Romans insist on putting everywhere.

You should be resting.

You should have killed me.

You should have killed me.

You should have stayed away.

You should have stayed away.

You spend too much idle time with Messala.

You still want to go and fight for those murderers!

You tried to kill Messala.

You understand this is sacred land.

You wash ashore shackled, your back striped.

You were a galley slave. How long?

You were in uniform.

You will beat him, won't you?

You will have the pleasure...

You will see them die for you!

You will see them fight for honor.

You will see them race for glory.

You won't go near him.

You would do the same.

You would hardly recognize your Jerusalem now.

You, I don't know, so you can shut your mouth.

You, too!

You'll get what you deserve!

You'll need to be more careful.

You're a cheat!

You're a part of this?

You're a prince, not a warrior!

You're done!

You're my brother. You'll always be my brother.

You're needed outside. There's been another attack.

You're on soft ground.

You're responsible! Fix it!

You've done enough. Now pray.

You've won! You should be celebrating.

Young men race chariots.

Your family gave me everything.

Your mother cares.

Your mother doesn't want us speaking.

Your name?

Your private affairs are no concern of mine.

Your return is gift enough for me.

Your safety is their highest priority.

Your situation is not unique, Judah.

Your whole life is ahead of you.

Zealots don't use women, Marcus.

Zealots.

3 to 1 not enough? How about 6 to 1?

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16...

Ah, the Zealots. All they want is freedom.

Aliyah! Judah, no!

All hands on deck! Reverse!

and ridicule me! Oh, my God.

And the best strategy... But if I'm in the back,

Are you? Yes.

Being passive has done what? It keeps the peace.

But you make it sound so easy. It's not easy.

But you must come to dinner. I will.

By killing Romans? We settle scores.

Can you spare something, please? We can be more than grateful.

Careful, careful. What happened? Judah?

Catapults. Catapults ready!

Come on then. No!

Come with me! Please, don't leave them!

Did you now? Yes.

Dismas. Dismas.

Easy, girl. Shh. How did you know?

Esther, dance with me. I'm not allowed.

Esther? Yes, Father?

Get him out now! We're lepers!

Get him out! Get him out! Judah, get out!

Get out! I can row! I am a strong man.

Get water. Hurry, Esther.

Give me that! I beg you. No, please!

Go away! Get him out!

Greetings. To you, Prince.

He's lost a lot of blood. Is he all right?

Help me! Die!

Hmm. Hmm.

Hold! Please!

How much for this? Five shekels.

How much is it? Five? Thank you, My Lord.

I committed no crime. And I lay no blame.

I hope this keeps you warm. Thank you.

I need your help. Messala.

I said, out! Please!

If we stay here, we'll die! Then you go!

It never does if you're rich. Messala, please.

Jesus of Nazareth... Stop!

Kadeem! Hold it! Hold it!

Ladder down! Coming down!

Listen, Judah, I... You have feelings for Tirzah.

Marcus! 17, 18, 19.

Meet where? He said you would know.

Messala! Dinner! Oh...

Minerva... He will recover.

Mother, I'm here. No.

Move! Get out of the way!

Move! Go on.

My family are dead. No, they're not.

No more killing. You did this to me!

No more slaughter. You did this!

No shame to be second! We're riding now!

No, please. Please, I'm fine. Get out!

No! May his punishment

No! No! Judah!

Not here. Please, he needs water.

Now. Move.

Oh, don't say that! It's true.

On your feet. Please show mercy!

Out of the way! Back up!

Please! No water for him!

Put it down! Follow me now!

Run! Take cover!

Search every room. Mother!

So now you try a legion. That's not my choice.

Start leading! Sir!

Stay away! Stay away! Hold it! Hold it!

Stay here. Why?

Take this. What for?

Testudo! Protect!

Thank you. God bless you.

That's an honest question. Yeah.

The boy? He's safe here.

The doctor reassured us. Mother Goddess,

The Torah tells us to... Wait! Stop!

They have leprosy. Judah, please.

This man is your neighbor. Wait!

This one I got in Germania. Germania?

Tirzah! Get down here!

to the Empire... Messala Severus?

We have a lot to catch up on. Indeed.

We should do something. We should.

We were riding and... Racing!

We're unclean, Judah! We're lepers!

What happened to him? He's wounded.

What happened? There was a rock.

What have you found? I don't know what it is.

Where are they? They're gone.

Where are you going? I'm going to Rome.

Where are you taking them? To the Port of Tyrus.

Yes, I can see that. How? The cemetery.

Yes? Follow us.

You and Tirzah would be like... Like what?

You are not my boy! Mother, what's wrong?

You can't! My family.

You're calling me a traitor? Messala, what's the order?

You're fine. Easy, girl. Easy.

You're Zealots! We fight for your freedom.

Your name! Messala Severus.

...finished.

"First to finish, last to die."

"Love your enemies." Well, that's very progressive.

"Not one of my 359 gods will smile upon me."

"Oh, have mercy on me, world!

"The pay's steady"?
