Sodom and Gomorrah

0:01:23 > 0:01:25HORSE AND CART RUMBLES

0:02:27 > 0:02:29For hundreds of years,

0:02:29 > 0:02:30fabulous riches had accumulated

0:02:30 > 0:02:33behind the walls of Sodom and Gomorrah,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36cities of sin and unspeakable vice.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38And the lust for power and wealth

0:02:38 > 0:02:41had now reached the ever-threatening desert tribes,

0:02:41 > 0:02:42whose most powerful chief

0:02:42 > 0:02:44was the King of the Helamites.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Even if your prince's officers are loyal to him,

0:02:47 > 0:02:51our combined attack against Sodom must await my calvary's return.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Tell your prince I look forward to the day

0:02:54 > 0:02:56we spill the blood of our enemies.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Thank you, your highness.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Be careful of Sodomite patrols!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18There! There she is!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Faster!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Faster!

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Stop!

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Get down from that horse!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43No!

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Who sent you to the Helamites?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Who sent you? Who sent you?

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Tamar, the Prince's messenger.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51She may talk.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54We must get word to his highness.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59While treason and intrigue were perpetrated

0:03:59 > 0:04:00in Sodom and Gomorrah,

0:04:00 > 0:04:03in the desert, the peaceful people,

0:04:03 > 0:04:06the Hebrews, wandered in search of forage

0:04:06 > 0:04:08for their herds and crops for themselves.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Amongst these Hebrews was the tribe of Abraham.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13And the land was not able to bear them

0:04:13 > 0:04:15that they might dwell together,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17for their numbers were great.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19So Abraham said unto Lot,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21"If you will take the left hand,

0:04:21 > 0:04:23"then I will go to the right,

0:04:23 > 0:04:25"or if you depart to the right hand,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28"then I will go to the left."

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Lot chose and journeyed east with his people

0:04:30 > 0:04:32toward the valley of the Jordan.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39The journey was long and weary.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Thirst, hunger, and exhaustion

0:04:40 > 0:04:42came unto Lot's people,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45and so did the loss of hope

0:04:45 > 0:04:47that spread amongst them the seed of dissension.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Lot said it's only for the sick to drink.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Aren't you sick, Isaac?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Do you feel well? Rip them open.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Let the cold water rush over your hands,

0:04:58 > 0:05:01let it wet your lips, fill your mouth.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Don't, please!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Then when Lot gets angry,

0:05:04 > 0:05:08you'll say, "But Lot, can't you see I'm sick?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10"I die for water." Take it.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11No.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Go on. Take it. Here. Take it.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16No!

0:05:16 > 0:05:19CROWD SHOUTING

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Wait, Isaac. Wait!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Please. I want a drink. I'm sick, Lot.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33I'm sick. It was put here for the sick.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Help him.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37But who made him sick?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Who goaded him so he lost control?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I say Lot did.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44I say we turn back.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47When we are almost within a few days,

0:05:47 > 0:05:50even a few hours of our destination?

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Lot's unfit to lead us.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53We've suffered enough.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54He's crazy!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's not our custom

0:05:56 > 0:05:59to settle such matters with a weapon.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Give the word to turn back.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05The council has empowered Lot to be our leader, Melchior.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's your place to obey.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08That staff belongs in my hand.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's my place to lead.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23As Melchior burns for action,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I suggest he come ahead with me.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29We'll find out how far we still have to go.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Come on.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Water.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Come, let's drink.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Wait.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Where there's water, there's also danger.

0:07:07 > 0:07:08Stand back!

0:07:08 > 0:07:10No! Let them approach.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12What are you doing here?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14We're looking for water.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16You'll find none at the oasis -

0:07:16 > 0:07:18not since the drought three years ago.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20You're Hebrews, aren't you?

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Yes.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Our patrols have said for weeks you were coming.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27They said your men were bearded,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29but you're clean-shaven. Why?

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Our men go clean-shaven

0:07:31 > 0:07:33when they're in mourning.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Really? For whom? A favourite, perhaps?

0:07:36 > 0:07:37A wife.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38SHE LAUGHS

0:07:38 > 0:07:43There's always someone to take the place of a wife, no?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47How far is it to water?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Many of my people are sick.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52They may also need salt.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Salt? But salt creates thirst.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58It is a secret as old as my city.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02When one is overcome by weakness from the sun's heat,

0:08:02 > 0:08:04one needs salt.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Unfortunately, I've traded all mine

0:08:06 > 0:08:08for those slaves you see.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10I bought them for the Queen.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13They're worth four times their weight in salt.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Poor creatures.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Am I a poor creature, too?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Does your heart ache for me?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'm a slave, too -

0:08:23 > 0:08:25chief of the Queen's body slaves.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29For one human to own another is wrong - evil.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30Evil?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32How strange you are.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Where I come from, nothing is evil.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Everything that gives pleasure is good.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Where do you come from?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44There. Not far. Just ahead.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Sodom and Gomorrah.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56You citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah, beware!

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Your sins cry out for extermination!

0:09:00 > 0:09:01LAUGHTER

0:09:01 > 0:09:03You buy men and women

0:09:03 > 0:09:07as if they were objects of stone.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08You treat them only

0:09:08 > 0:09:10as implements for your pleasure

0:09:10 > 0:09:13or machines to work!

0:09:13 > 0:09:15You force them to mine

0:09:15 > 0:09:19your miraculous deposits of pure white salt

0:09:19 > 0:09:20to increase the power

0:09:20 > 0:09:21of your infamous cities!

0:09:21 > 0:09:24LAUGHTER

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yes, your power and wealth rest on salt,

0:09:29 > 0:09:33and your salt is bought with the blood of slaves!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Hear me, o people of Sodom.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's only Alabias, the old clown.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Close his mouth. I must warn the Prince.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Hyah! Hyah!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49And someday they will destroy you,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51just as your bloody prince

0:09:51 > 0:09:54would destroy even his own sister.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Silence, old man.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You dare blaspheme against the Queen's brother?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Who is he to command loyalty

0:10:00 > 0:10:02and you to speak of it?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06CROWD ROARS

0:10:06 > 0:10:09You, who monopolize that one commodity

0:10:09 > 0:10:12more valuable in all Africa than gold -

0:10:12 > 0:10:14salt!

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Who use this precious stuff

0:10:16 > 0:10:17to keep your cruel fingers

0:10:17 > 0:10:20tight on the heartstrings of a whole continent...

0:10:20 > 0:10:24who trade your salt for jewels, perfumes, or slaves

0:10:24 > 0:10:27to sate the hideous appetites of your Queen

0:10:27 > 0:10:29and your infamous prince!

0:11:01 > 0:11:04TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYS

0:11:45 > 0:11:48We rode hard to warn you.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51I only hope that we came in time.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53She has not yet arrived.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56It is well done to come so fast.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57You shall be rewarded.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's enough to call for more subtle methods -

0:12:00 > 0:12:02betrayal... a great defeat on the battlefield

0:12:02 > 0:12:03that would disgrace her.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Then her murder would be hailed

0:12:06 > 0:12:08as an act of patriotism.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12And he who kills her, the next King of Sodom and Gomorrah.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16My sister. She thinks herself as strong a leader

0:12:16 > 0:12:18as a man might be.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21But she has a little, cautious woman's mind.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24I could create a state, a nation, an empire.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27She seeks to conserve only what we have -

0:12:27 > 0:12:29our two joined cities.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Let go of me!

0:12:31 > 0:12:32Here she is.

0:12:32 > 0:12:33Stupid creature.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Tamar. Tamar.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Up here.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Don't worry.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41I'll protect you.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Don't worry.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45GROANING AND MOANING

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Quiet.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56What message did he give you for me?

0:12:56 > 0:13:00That the arrival of the Hebrews makes a difference.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03The time is not yet.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I said quiet!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Breathe deeply.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Breathe, I said!

0:13:16 > 0:13:19He's blind.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Blind? What a wonderful idea.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27So delightfully imaginative.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33It makes the whole affair more interesting.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Oh...

0:13:36 > 0:13:38an excellent refinement.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42That should certainly make the disloyal slut talk.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Utter the name that my sister wishes to know,

0:13:46 > 0:13:48and your sisters will die.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59You let them watch, and I shall utter it.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Of all my slaves, you were my favourite.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Weren't you happy with me?

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Not even grateful?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22What information did you take

0:14:22 > 0:14:23to the Helamite camp?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Since when did murderers act as judges?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Since when did traitors

0:14:29 > 0:14:31have the right to question?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Who sent you there?

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Whoever it is,

0:14:37 > 0:14:41I prefer to leave them still alive...

0:14:41 > 0:14:46my legacy to your majesty in Sodom.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Lock it!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Tamar. Tamar, the slave!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Oh, no...no.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12Aah!

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Quickly, Arno.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Quickly. It's better this way.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17No. No.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19I beg you.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20I'll feel less pain.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21No.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22I beg you, Arno.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Aah!

0:15:23 > 0:15:25The name, Tamar.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Please, Arno! No!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28She will die silent.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Kill the rest of the litter.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Speak! Tell me the name!

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Who sent you to the Helamites?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Speak before it's too late!

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Speak!

0:15:51 > 0:15:54SHRIEKING

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Agh-hhh-hh!

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Of all of them,

0:16:11 > 0:16:15this animal's the most delicate compliment to your taste.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16Thank you, your majesty.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Proud, too.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36They are tough, Ildith, to suppress all outcry.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38I admire pride.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41It had best not please you too much.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43If one is to take Tamar as an example,

0:16:43 > 0:16:47the life expectancy of the Queen's favourites

0:16:47 > 0:16:49is distressingly brief.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55You say you met them, these Hebrews?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's more than my brother has done,

0:16:58 > 0:17:02yet he hasn't ceased to warn me against them for weeks.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04I wonder why.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07You can see yourself the Hebrews are untrustworthy.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09They're fanatics who'll do anything to propagate their faith.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11And you...

0:17:11 > 0:17:13you tell me they're not dangerous.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Dangerous?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Dangerous to whom?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19To us.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Didn't you say they went unarmed?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23The ones I saw, yes.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'd like to see for myself

0:17:25 > 0:17:26why you think them such a menace.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28When my plans are perfected,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30we shall visit them.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I live, my dear sister,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36only to obey your orders.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37As always,

0:17:37 > 0:17:40he thinks no further than the point of his sword.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42He thinks of these people

0:17:42 > 0:17:43as a physical threat.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45In a physical sense,

0:17:45 > 0:17:48their presence can be useful -

0:17:48 > 0:17:50in the event of an attack

0:17:50 > 0:17:53from the Helamites, let's say.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02In time of peace,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04they live in youthful employment -

0:18:04 > 0:18:07slaves of the soil.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09As slaves, no.

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Their leader, Lot, believes

0:18:10 > 0:18:13that for one human being to own another

0:18:13 > 0:18:14is wrong.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16If they own no slaves,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18they must be very poor.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Poor?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yes, of course.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26But they don't seem to know that they're poor.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28If Lot chooses not to own slaves,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30that is his affair.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32But it is not always possible

0:18:32 > 0:18:34to avoid becoming one,

0:18:34 > 0:18:39particularly when tempted by tricksters as old as Sodom,

0:18:39 > 0:18:42as long-lived as Gomorrah.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46How often, even in our own marketplace,

0:18:46 > 0:18:47have we heard

0:18:47 > 0:18:50"Ah, but the Hebrews keep their word.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52"The Hebrews can be trusted"?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yes.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Between ourselves

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and that great empire my brother dreams of

0:18:58 > 0:19:00stand the Hebrews

0:19:00 > 0:19:02with their newborn religion.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06And between the Hebrews and the world, only Sodom.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10And you, Ildith,

0:19:10 > 0:19:14are you afraid of being my favourite?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29The Jordan.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36Where our faith will meet its bitterest test.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39No Hebrew must go into those cities,

0:19:39 > 0:19:41no, not even near them.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Ah.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Give the order no one is to cross the river.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47No one cross the river!

0:19:47 > 0:19:49No one!

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Ah.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54My two fine, courageous daughters,

0:19:54 > 0:19:57our long pilgrimage is finally over.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03EXCITED SHOUTING

0:20:20 > 0:20:23You warn our people not to drink too much.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29'Oh, thank you, lord, for our deliverance,

0:20:29 > 0:20:31'and I humbly beg you

0:20:31 > 0:20:34'to show me what we must do now.'

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Take it away.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Get on there. Come on.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Old Alabias seems still alive.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29What hideous place is this?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31What dreadful blasphemy.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Dead and dying men,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37white bones under the lord's bright sky

0:21:37 > 0:21:38and his sweet sun.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Don't move.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45You'll be all right. We'll take care of you.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Here. Drink.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Slowly.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58What is this place?

0:21:59 > 0:22:00The graveyard

0:22:00 > 0:22:04for the slaves of Sodom and Gomorrah.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08The flesh from these bones

0:22:08 > 0:22:12was the clay that built those iniquitous cities.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14FANFARE PLAYS

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Move on!

0:22:29 > 0:22:30Move!

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Faster!

0:22:35 > 0:22:36Come on. Move.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Go faster. Move!

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Faster!

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Move on!

0:22:49 > 0:22:51The chosen people.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Or so they call themselves.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Chosen by whom?

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Stop.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00You were right, Ildith.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03When it's dressed in homespun,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06one tends to take crudity for virtue.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10So long as one doesn't mistake it for weakness.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11Down.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Necor.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Warn our people. No one is to cross the river.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Except you, Lot.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36You must negotiate for us.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Be careful, Lot.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Don't worry.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54My son and I, we're slaves of the Queen.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56We will carry you across.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I have my own legs.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Please.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01So we may talk.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04All right.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17You have no slaves?

0:24:17 > 0:24:20We're only servants ourselves -

0:24:20 > 0:24:21servants of Jehovah.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28If my son and I could escape to you,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31will you give us sanctuary?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32I will.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Thank you.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Your majesty. Lot...

0:24:41 > 0:24:44leader of the Hebrews,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47of all places to choose from,

0:24:47 > 0:24:48what was there here

0:24:48 > 0:24:50that made you journey across the desert?

0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'd heard the land was fertile.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56For what, your crops... or your religion?

0:24:56 > 0:24:57For both, perhaps.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59If this land were yours,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02would your people be prepared to fight for it?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04The nomadic tribes are far from friendly.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07We are not warriors,

0:25:07 > 0:25:08but we would fight

0:25:08 > 0:25:10to defend what is ours.

0:25:10 > 0:25:11Then make it yours.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13All this valley

0:25:13 > 0:25:14for 100,000 talents of grain a year

0:25:14 > 0:25:16for, say...

0:25:16 > 0:25:1810 years?

0:25:24 > 0:25:28It's only fair to warn you the land's barren and dry.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37We could not possibly meet the price.

0:25:37 > 0:25:3975,000 talents a year.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40No less.

0:25:40 > 0:25:4150.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Agreed.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46For, say, seven years?

0:25:46 > 0:25:47Still agreed.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52My daughter brings a gift for your majesty

0:25:52 > 0:25:53to seal the bargain.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09To dry your legs.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Let me give you a gift in return -

0:26:14 > 0:26:16this female slave. ..Ildith.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I will not go.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'd rather die.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Is this why I was schooled -

0:26:22 > 0:26:24to live here with herdsmen

0:26:24 > 0:26:27in huts of... of stinking hide?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30You were schooled to do whatever pleased my whim.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Your majesty, I must refuse.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34It is against our principles

0:26:34 > 0:26:35to own another human being.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Is it also against your principles

0:26:38 > 0:26:40to liberate them?

0:26:41 > 0:26:42Goodbye.

0:26:44 > 0:26:45Good fortune.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14SINGING

0:27:18 > 0:27:20THEY SING A TRADITIONAL SONG

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Walk faster. Come.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35There's going to be trouble, Necor.

0:27:35 > 0:27:36Maleb.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37Father.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40The women, especially the wives,

0:27:40 > 0:27:42are reluctant to accept this woman.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44She's an ex-Sodom slave.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46But I shall point out

0:27:46 > 0:27:48from the altar of the tabernacle

0:27:48 > 0:27:50the need for hospitality.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Thank you, Necor.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56We dressed her as you have ordered, Lot.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58She complains of the fit,

0:27:58 > 0:28:01but I've told her she will get used to it,

0:28:01 > 0:28:03even as the rest of us.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04Thank you, Ruth.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06As you ordered, Lot.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Well?

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Aren't you even going to look at me?

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Exquisite, isn't it?

0:28:14 > 0:28:17And so soft to the skin.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Do you find it more becoming

0:28:19 > 0:28:22than the silks I wore when I came here?

0:28:22 > 0:28:23For its purpose, yes.

0:28:23 > 0:28:24What purpose?

0:28:24 > 0:28:26A bird wears bright feathers

0:28:26 > 0:28:27to attract other birds.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Look at this.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Or don't you agree with me?

0:28:38 > 0:28:40Not at all.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Women wear clothes to shelter them from the sun,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46to protect them from the cold.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49That explains the fit.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55You...you Hebrews confuse clothes with tents.

0:28:55 > 0:28:56Oh, yes, they're loose.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59That's to leave the limbs free to work.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00What work?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02A woman's work -

0:29:02 > 0:29:03to cook, spin,

0:29:03 > 0:29:06clean, follow the harvesters.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08And you say slavery's against your principles?

0:29:08 > 0:29:09Yes.

0:29:09 > 0:29:11And yet you want me to do work

0:29:11 > 0:29:13no slave of my class has ever done before.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Work is the price of freedom -

0:29:15 > 0:29:17to support your own needs,

0:29:17 > 0:29:19to be able to determine

0:29:19 > 0:29:21how and where you will work.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24To...to own yourself.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27If it means sunburned face,

0:29:27 > 0:29:30coarse sand, rough and dirty clothes like these,

0:29:30 > 0:29:33then let me be a slave in Sodom.

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Let me, too,

0:29:34 > 0:29:38if it means perfumes and silks like these.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Feel it, father.

0:29:40 > 0:29:41Like an angel's wing.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44And the shoes. See the lovely shoes.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46You'll need these when they're dry.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48What would your mother have said?

0:29:48 > 0:29:49What would she have said

0:29:49 > 0:29:52to see the woman who owned these clothes

0:29:52 > 0:29:53in our tent?

0:29:53 > 0:29:56No need for a man who's lost his wife

0:29:56 > 0:29:57to be ashamed of that.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Impudent!

0:29:59 > 0:30:02You're forgetting that your father is the leader.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05The first thing I learned as a slave

0:30:05 > 0:30:08was that a leader can do no wrong.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16< SHOUTING

0:30:27 > 0:30:30HEATED SHOUTING

0:30:32 > 0:30:34The nets!

0:30:34 > 0:30:35The nets!

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Run! Run!

0:30:51 > 0:30:53Stop! Stop!

0:31:15 > 0:31:16Return our slaves.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18This land is ours.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20They reached it. They're free.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Return them.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22No.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28Wait!

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Cease fighting!

0:31:32 > 0:31:34Ishmael!

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Would you kill a helpless man? Would you?

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Well?

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Help him.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55And you.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Tell your Queen that we'll care for her brother.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Shuah, take him to our tent.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11And also tell her these men are now free.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13We grant them sanctuary.

0:32:21 > 0:32:22And now,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25get off our land.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28Return to Sodom!

0:32:28 > 0:32:32The Sodomites will never forgive you for this.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34We have no need to fear the Sodomites.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36We're servants of the Lord.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38We're here on God's business.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41It is they who should fear us.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43PRAYING IN Hebrew

0:32:56 > 0:33:00The elders and Lot are offering a prayer to Jehovah.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03They ask that he help us in our new venture.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06It is better they ask for swords, spears, lances.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08They don't yet understand.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10The Sodomites are your enemies -

0:33:10 > 0:33:12dangerous, ruthless.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Be careful of this Astaroth.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16No matter how sweetly he speaks,

0:33:16 > 0:33:18be wary of him.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02I'm in your thoughts a good deal,

0:34:02 > 0:34:03aren't I?

0:34:04 > 0:34:06No.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07Even at night?

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Not at all.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13Tell me... do you think of me often?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16Is my skin still as soft

0:34:16 > 0:34:18as the first day you bathed me?

0:34:19 > 0:34:22Does my hair smell as sweet?

0:34:26 > 0:34:28Does your hand still tremble?

0:34:29 > 0:34:31My father told me to care for you.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33I obey him, nothing more.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Not even at night?

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Tent walls are thin,

0:34:37 > 0:34:39and you sleep so close.

0:34:41 > 0:34:42I hear you.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Your words are most...

0:34:47 > 0:34:48interesting.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51What words?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58What words?

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Should I really tell you?

0:35:01 > 0:35:02Should I?

0:35:08 > 0:35:10Why are you this way?

0:35:12 > 0:35:13What is it?

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Your... your skin...

0:35:20 > 0:35:22..the door of your hair...

0:35:25 > 0:35:27..why do I...

0:35:28 > 0:35:31..why can't I stop feeling?

0:35:31 > 0:35:34To stop feeling is to die.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36You're too young for that.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Remember your dream last night.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40The answer...

0:35:41 > 0:35:42..lies...

0:35:42 > 0:35:43there.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54COCK CROWS

0:36:00 > 0:36:03And he didn't even tell you he was leaving?

0:36:03 > 0:36:05No.

0:36:05 > 0:36:06Why should he?

0:36:06 > 0:36:08He only stayed to amuse himself.

0:36:08 > 0:36:12Remember how Ildith looked when she first came?

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Those are the women he is used to.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42That should be wide enough.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44It should withstand any pressure.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46How long will it take?

0:36:46 > 0:36:48If our people work as hard as Eber,

0:36:48 > 0:36:51we'll be ready for spring planting.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53A present for Sodom's Queen.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55She'll be pleased to see this burial ground turned green.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58The promised land for every slave in Sodom.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17You see this root?

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Well, this root grows wild

0:37:19 > 0:37:21all over the hills here,

0:37:21 > 0:37:25and when you cut it, like this, it bleeds.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27And we use the juice

0:37:27 > 0:37:30to dye the nails, like this.

0:37:30 > 0:37:31You see?

0:37:31 > 0:37:33The more you use,

0:37:33 > 0:37:35the darker it gets, until...

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Now what's going on?

0:37:37 > 0:37:40She had an animal's feet. I showed her.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43So I see. Shuah...

0:37:44 > 0:37:46..the hour is late.

0:37:46 > 0:37:47The stock need watering.

0:37:47 > 0:37:52You see? My father doesn't want me to be attractive.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Why can't Maleb take care of the stock?

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Must she do your work along with hers?

0:37:58 > 0:37:59Go along.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02My daughters are attractive enough

0:38:02 > 0:38:03as nature made them.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07They need no adornment to make them more so.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11Perhaps...perhaps the best artifice is to have none.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14You know, there must be a charm

0:38:14 > 0:38:18about the flesh and the skin, sunburned,

0:38:18 > 0:38:20fresh from the wind...

0:38:21 > 0:38:23..that we in Sodom never realized.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25You think so?

0:38:25 > 0:38:27Oh.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30A dirt floor has its advantages.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Had that have been marble,

0:38:32 > 0:38:34this pretty thing would have broken.

0:38:36 > 0:38:37How strange.

0:38:37 > 0:38:38Hmm?

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Let me see the other hand.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44Let's go near the light,

0:38:44 > 0:38:46where I can see better.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52You haven't the hands of a farmer at all.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Why not?

0:38:53 > 0:38:57You have the hands of an important man.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01Your lifeline, it's long and clear.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03My lifeline is short.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06That means I shall die very young.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10Do you mean to say you believe in such things?

0:39:10 > 0:39:11Why? Don't you?

0:39:12 > 0:39:15We believe only God knows our future.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17That belief gives us a faith

0:39:17 > 0:39:19that moves mountains.

0:39:19 > 0:39:23Soon...you'll see that faith create something

0:39:23 > 0:39:25that will transform this whole land.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29When you see that creation rise against the sky,

0:39:29 > 0:39:32then perhaps you'll come to share our faith.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39And after that fine speech,

0:39:39 > 0:39:41you're going to sleep outside?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43No...in the tent of Ishmael.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Of course. I should have remembered.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Here it's warm, comfortable.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Too comfortable, perhaps?

0:39:50 > 0:39:53And you have to set a good example

0:39:53 > 0:39:55to the men of the tribe.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Even though you wanted to stay here,

0:39:58 > 0:40:00you wouldn't dare, would you?

0:40:00 > 0:40:01Good night.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06You're more of a slave to your beliefs

0:40:06 > 0:40:08than any slave in Sodom!

0:40:09 > 0:40:11BOMBASTIC MUSIC PLAYS

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Though your visit

0:40:18 > 0:40:21caught us by surprise, your highness,

0:40:21 > 0:40:24we managed to arrange in your honour

0:40:24 > 0:40:25this rather primitive display

0:40:25 > 0:40:27of our marching and horsemanship.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29Hardly primitive, I assure you.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32The flower of a dozen desert tribes.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48March them an hour longer.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Why don't you act immediately?

0:40:50 > 0:40:54Patience, patience. I hear your sister has new allies.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Allies? The Hebrews live in tents of skin.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59Their camp's unfortified. Their men go unarmed.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02I heard the Queen's brother was unhorsed by them.

0:41:03 > 0:41:04Mere chance.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07They're a peaceful people.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Still, I intend to appraise with my own eyes

0:41:10 > 0:41:13the strength of these... peaceful people.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15All things must wait their moment.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17I've trained leopards to hunt.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20I can tell from the pull of the leash

0:41:20 > 0:41:22when the animal's ready to spring.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24That moment is not quite yet.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26I await your majesty's pleasure.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28To me!

0:41:28 > 0:41:29To me!

0:41:42 > 0:41:44That's all.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Have you seen my brother?

0:41:47 > 0:41:48No, your majesty.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57So, in short,

0:41:57 > 0:41:59we must maintain a constant alert

0:41:59 > 0:42:01and gain as many converts as possible.

0:42:01 > 0:42:02When the attack comes,

0:42:02 > 0:42:04we must throw our entire strength

0:42:04 > 0:42:06against the Queen's forces.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08CHEETAH GROWLS

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Gentlemen...

0:42:36 > 0:42:40how pleasant to see so many of my loyal officers

0:42:40 > 0:42:42so sure of our defences

0:42:42 > 0:42:46that they can afford to while away their time

0:42:46 > 0:42:49in my father's favourite game...

0:42:49 > 0:42:52playing it here

0:42:52 > 0:42:54before his mortal remains.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59You do him and our other ancestors

0:42:59 > 0:43:02the kind of honour they would have relished.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Get out.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12We were not as idle as you would think.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14No? More to the point,

0:43:14 > 0:43:15have your officers discovered

0:43:15 > 0:43:19why the Hebrews spend their time in that dusty quarry?

0:43:19 > 0:43:22I was just suggesting - only a theory, of course -

0:43:22 > 0:43:26that those huge blocks of granite which have puzzled us

0:43:26 > 0:43:29are for a temple to propitiate their voracious God.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Best to make sure.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Here, their first request for salt.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Mind they sign pledges

0:43:35 > 0:43:37for every grain they need.

0:43:38 > 0:43:45You might find guileless Ildith of use to you.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47Ask her what they build.

0:43:47 > 0:43:52A visit to the Hebrew camp. How pleasant.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54Ah, yes, Lot's young daughter.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57I must say that at times

0:43:57 > 0:44:00you men make me envy your freedom of activity.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06And nothing else?

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Many things...

0:44:09 > 0:44:14..as you, alone perhaps, are well aware,

0:44:14 > 0:44:16sweetest brother...

0:44:18 > 0:44:22..oldest and dearest enemy of all.

0:44:35 > 0:44:36You drew blood.

0:44:36 > 0:44:37I know.

0:44:44 > 0:44:48It doesn't give you any longer pleasure?

0:44:48 > 0:44:50Not even pain.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Go! Do as I order!

0:44:56 > 0:44:58As you desire,

0:44:58 > 0:45:00sweetest sister.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35So the Sodomites think we're building

0:45:35 > 0:45:37a temple to Jehovah, huh?

0:45:37 > 0:45:39To Jehovah? No.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42A pagan temple, I'm afraid -

0:45:42 > 0:45:45to fertility.

0:45:48 > 0:45:50Good neighbours, come!

0:45:50 > 0:45:52We bring you gifts, beautiful gifts!

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Silver, perfumes, jewels!

0:45:54 > 0:45:56Gold and silver! All for you!

0:45:56 > 0:45:58Come.

0:45:58 > 0:45:59Come.

0:45:59 > 0:46:02Gold, at the request of your leader,

0:46:02 > 0:46:05but we've brought other things.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07EXCITED SHOUTING

0:46:14 > 0:46:17Make your houses better than your neighbours'!

0:46:17 > 0:46:19Good day.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24Are you not pleased to see me?

0:46:27 > 0:46:29Tell me, does this man Lot

0:46:29 > 0:46:32seem to be attracted to you?

0:46:34 > 0:46:37I would judge so. Yes.

0:46:37 > 0:46:38Good.

0:46:39 > 0:46:42What is it the Hebrews build in the canyon?

0:46:42 > 0:46:43I haven't found out.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46It's your business to find out.

0:46:46 > 0:46:47Why?

0:46:48 > 0:46:49Tell me.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51My dear child,

0:46:51 > 0:46:54you're here precisely to keep us informed,

0:46:54 > 0:46:56to seduce Lot to our customs,

0:46:56 > 0:46:58to convert him, say,

0:46:58 > 0:47:00even as Malech converts the women.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02Tell your sister I know nothing,

0:47:02 > 0:47:04and if I did, I wouldn't say.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06Now, now, my love.

0:47:06 > 0:47:10You know my sister doesn't take kindly to harsh words.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Why should I care?

0:47:12 > 0:47:15She gave me away. I'm not her property.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18I can do as I please. I own myself.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21I wish you pleasure in the ownership.

0:47:32 > 0:47:33Shuah!

0:47:40 > 0:47:42The bird you seek took cover

0:47:42 > 0:47:43there in those tall reeds.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Thank you.

0:47:47 > 0:47:51I find your loyalty to Lot most touching.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Why do you hide from me?

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Am I suddenly a stranger to you,

0:48:04 > 0:48:07or are you angry at me for leaving?

0:48:07 > 0:48:10You won't show me where you are.

0:48:10 > 0:48:11Good.

0:48:11 > 0:48:12That improves the game.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15I have to find your tracks in the reeds.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18You left tracks, you know.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20You meant to leave them,

0:48:20 > 0:48:21wanted to,

0:48:21 > 0:48:24so that I could follow you...

0:48:24 > 0:48:25and find you.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27And even for an indifferent huntsman.

0:48:27 > 0:48:31It's easy to follow tracks left in reeds, my Shuah,

0:48:31 > 0:48:33as you well know.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35We'll soon find them.

0:48:35 > 0:48:38We'll find where you are.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Why do you need so much, Melchior, huh?

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Why so much?

0:48:51 > 0:48:52No!

0:48:52 > 0:48:55You wanted me to find you. Admit it.

0:48:55 > 0:48:57No!

0:48:57 > 0:48:59Salt is for everyone.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01It's free, like water, like the air!

0:49:01 > 0:49:04In the name of the council,

0:49:04 > 0:49:06Necor signs for all of us!

0:49:06 > 0:49:08But why? We're not slaves!

0:49:10 > 0:49:12And now you,

0:49:12 > 0:49:13leave.

0:49:15 > 0:49:16Leave!

0:49:17 > 0:49:18Lot!

0:49:18 > 0:49:20Lot!

0:49:20 > 0:49:21Lot! Lot!

0:49:21 > 0:49:24Astaroth and Shuah. I didn't think. Forgive me.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26Down by the reeds.

0:49:32 > 0:49:33Leave me.

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Oh, leave me.

0:49:35 > 0:49:36What restrains you?

0:49:36 > 0:49:39Is it rougher treatment you expect?

0:49:46 > 0:49:48You dog!

0:49:57 > 0:50:01Now, run. Leave me to my pleasure or die.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Go on, kill me,

0:50:06 > 0:50:08but you'll never reach Sodom alive.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10No!

0:50:10 > 0:50:12You want him to live?

0:50:12 > 0:50:13Yes.

0:50:13 > 0:50:14You once spared me.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16For her, I spare you,

0:50:16 > 0:50:18but now, you and I are even.

0:50:18 > 0:50:21Next time, there will be no handicap.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23No favour given.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25No favour asked.

0:50:25 > 0:50:27You touch my daughter once again -

0:50:27 > 0:50:29but once again -

0:50:29 > 0:50:32and by Jehovah, I'll kill you.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37Lot, look!

0:50:38 > 0:50:39Who are they?

0:50:39 > 0:50:41Nomads. Helamites.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43Perhaps now you'll agree.

0:50:43 > 0:50:46It's wiser to move on.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51We'll call a meeting of the council, plan our defence.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06We are just coming off duty, Lot.

0:51:06 > 0:51:07Oh, good, Sarah.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09All the relief sentinels posted?

0:51:09 > 0:51:11On all high points,

0:51:11 > 0:51:13within hearing distance of each other.

0:51:13 > 0:51:14Good.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16But for days we've seen nothing.

0:51:25 > 0:51:28Give the devil his due - or hers.

0:51:28 > 0:51:30She's worked like one of us

0:51:30 > 0:51:32this whole week.

0:51:32 > 0:51:35What does one week prove?

0:51:37 > 0:51:40They've been watching us. I'd better go.

0:51:41 > 0:51:42Wait.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Look at him.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47She'll have him sweeping out the tent next.

0:51:47 > 0:51:50Leave them alone.

0:51:59 > 0:52:00Lot!

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Lot, wait.

0:52:03 > 0:52:06There's something I want to ask you.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08It's about Maleb and me.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11We look forward to getting married.

0:52:11 > 0:52:12Married?

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Well, naturally, not right away.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16In about six months.

0:52:18 > 0:52:22Ishmael, when a man and woman love each other...

0:52:24 > 0:52:27..they shouldn't live apart too long.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29There are good reasons to wait -

0:52:29 > 0:52:31my share of the crop,

0:52:31 > 0:52:33a new household to furnish.

0:52:33 > 0:52:36Whenever you decide, with my blessing.

0:52:36 > 0:52:37Now give her a kiss.

0:52:48 > 0:52:50You shouldn't have followed me.

0:52:50 > 0:52:54Oh? Not to my own tent in broad daylight?

0:52:54 > 0:52:56That's just it.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58All those women at the river -

0:52:58 > 0:53:01it will be all over the camp.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04The breath of scandal.

0:53:04 > 0:53:07You have a low opinion of me.

0:53:07 > 0:53:08Have I?

0:53:08 > 0:53:12You confuse me with my office.

0:53:12 > 0:53:16Lot the leader of the tribe would never do this,

0:53:16 > 0:53:19so, of course, neither would Lot the man.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21Now here is Lot the man,

0:53:21 > 0:53:23and his heart is pounding

0:53:23 > 0:53:24like an idiot boy.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27He didn't set out for his tent,

0:53:27 > 0:53:30but his legs brought him here.

0:53:30 > 0:53:31Lot.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33So? Let it be all over camp.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36Must I deny myself what other people take

0:53:36 > 0:53:39as naturally as bread and salt?

0:53:39 > 0:53:41Yes. Your people must think of you

0:53:41 > 0:53:42as a good man.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Good? Why not dull...

0:53:44 > 0:53:46grey, old, boring?

0:53:46 > 0:53:48That wasn't what I meant.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51What has my being a good man

0:53:51 > 0:53:54to do with me being here with you

0:53:54 > 0:53:55in my own tent?

0:53:55 > 0:53:56Please, Lot.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Is it because you think I'm a good man

0:53:59 > 0:54:02and that you're not a good woman

0:54:02 > 0:54:05because you once lived in Sodom?

0:54:05 > 0:54:09You could never conceive the life I lived in Sodom.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11I want you for my wife.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13You mustn't love me.

0:54:13 > 0:54:14Why?

0:54:14 > 0:54:16I don't know. You just mustn't.

0:54:16 > 0:54:17My good wife.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20It's not for what I've done.

0:54:20 > 0:54:23It's for what I may do someday.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26I may never believe in this Jehovah.

0:54:26 > 0:54:27You will.

0:54:27 > 0:54:30I may never be happy in clothes like these.

0:54:30 > 0:54:31You will be.

0:54:31 > 0:54:35Perhaps...perhaps something in me will betray us,

0:54:35 > 0:54:39and I will want to go back to Sodom.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41That's a chance I will take.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Why do you disturb me?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54Why can't you say this to the guards?

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Doesn't one favour call for another?

0:54:57 > 0:55:00Did not Melchior show you the way

0:55:00 > 0:55:01to Lot's daughter?

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Other favours I'm prepared to perform,

0:55:03 > 0:55:07but perhaps you're not interested in the first Hebrews

0:55:07 > 0:55:10who wish to become citizens of Sodom.

0:55:10 > 0:55:13Favours in the past are happily remembered.

0:55:13 > 0:55:17Favours yet to come will be rewarded.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20Be assured that here you are most welcome.

0:55:20 > 0:55:21Open!

0:55:21 > 0:55:22Open!

0:55:25 > 0:55:26Melchior betrayed us.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28What else must you say?

0:55:28 > 0:55:29To Sodomites, nothing,

0:55:29 > 0:55:33but to Hebrews who betray us, much.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35To us you're dead.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37Hollow words of an empty religion.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39I'd say you're all mad

0:55:39 > 0:55:42if I hadn't seen this great dam you've built.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Help! Help me, Father!

0:55:45 > 0:55:46Help!

0:55:46 > 0:55:47Father!

0:55:47 > 0:55:49No! No!

0:55:49 > 0:55:50Don't take him!

0:55:50 > 0:55:53Please, let me go!

0:55:53 > 0:55:55You've been so wise, so clever.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57You dug a pit for them

0:55:57 > 0:55:59and fell into it yourself.

0:55:59 > 0:56:03You talked the Hebrews into overpaying for a wasteland,

0:56:03 > 0:56:05and now with their dam,

0:56:05 > 0:56:08that land will yield enough to pay for itself

0:56:08 > 0:56:10in two short years.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13Now time is on their side...

0:56:13 > 0:56:16my gracious sister.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19But Melchior brought other information...

0:56:19 > 0:56:21too.

0:56:25 > 0:56:30That Lot was going to marry Ildith.

0:56:31 > 0:56:32You think it's not important?

0:56:32 > 0:56:34It proves to me

0:56:34 > 0:56:37that the leader of these impregnable people

0:56:37 > 0:56:41is not so impregnable,

0:56:41 > 0:56:43that time is on my side.

0:56:45 > 0:56:46Speak.

0:56:46 > 0:56:47Your majesty,

0:56:47 > 0:56:49the leader of the Hebrews -

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Lot - he awaits with a group of his advisers.

0:56:52 > 0:56:55They wish to speak to you.

0:56:55 > 0:56:58Tell Lot I'll speak to him, but alone.

0:56:58 > 0:56:59This is excellent.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02He delivered himself into our hands.

0:57:02 > 0:57:04We can finish with Lot

0:57:04 > 0:57:07and leave the Hebrews without a leader.

0:57:07 > 0:57:08And Sodom without allies?

0:57:08 > 0:57:11Your eagerness to serve touches me.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Put away that weapon and wait outside.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18Why must I always be treated as a child?

0:57:18 > 0:57:21I want to speak to Lot alone.

0:57:28 > 0:57:30My brother is suffering

0:57:30 > 0:57:33from a slight attack of hurt pride.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35Pay no attention to him.

0:57:37 > 0:57:39You've come to reclaim Melchior?

0:57:39 > 0:57:41I care nothing for traitors,

0:57:41 > 0:57:43but where are the ex-slaves

0:57:43 > 0:57:46he helped abduct from me yesterday?

0:57:46 > 0:57:48To clear your head

0:57:48 > 0:57:51and calm your temper, Lot.

0:57:51 > 0:57:52Where are they?

0:57:52 > 0:57:54I want them back.

0:57:54 > 0:57:57It is our pleasure to give you pleasure,

0:57:57 > 0:58:00so let us make you comfortable.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02You're wasting your time.

0:58:02 > 0:58:05I didn't come here to be drowned in wine

0:58:05 > 0:58:07and smothered in cushions.

0:58:07 > 0:58:10I'm the leader of the Hebrews.

0:58:10 > 0:58:14I came to speak with the leader of the Sodomites.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16Leave us.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19You want me to speak not as a woman

0:58:19 > 0:58:21but as ruler of Sodom?

0:58:21 > 0:58:24Very well. But you speak as leader of the Hebrews,

0:58:24 > 0:58:26and, if you please,

0:58:26 > 0:58:30not as the self-appointed prophet of an imaginary deity.

0:58:30 > 0:58:32We will both dispense with camouflage.

0:58:36 > 0:58:38Do you want to see the slaves

0:58:38 > 0:58:40that were recaptured?

0:58:41 > 0:58:42Come.

0:58:53 > 0:58:57Where does he go with so grim a face?

0:58:57 > 0:59:00Wherever he goes it will serve him not.

0:59:00 > 0:59:01Our general's wrath is aroused.

0:59:01 > 0:59:03The wicked will not escape.

0:59:03 > 0:59:06A man on free land is free.

0:59:06 > 0:59:11If not, we aren't masters of the land we buy from you.

0:59:11 > 0:59:13In that case, we must move on.

0:59:13 > 0:59:16Who told you I'd mind if you left?

0:59:16 > 0:59:18Was it Ildith?

0:59:18 > 0:59:19Nobody told me.

0:59:19 > 0:59:21You asked if I'd be willing

0:59:21 > 0:59:23to fight for the land.

0:59:23 > 0:59:27Since then I've assumed that our presence here

0:59:27 > 0:59:28suits your purpose,

0:59:28 > 0:59:32but perhaps I was wrong.

0:59:32 > 0:59:33One moment.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36I can afford to be generous.

0:59:37 > 0:59:39The three recaptured slaves

0:59:39 > 0:59:41are to be unchained and delivered

0:59:41 > 0:59:42back to the Hebrews.

0:59:42 > 0:59:44Yes, your majesty.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47And the right of sanctuary?

0:59:47 > 0:59:50As you insist it be part of your land, that, too.

0:59:50 > 0:59:53You refused to drink with me before.

0:59:53 > 0:59:54Drink now

0:59:54 > 0:59:56to celebrate a covenant

0:59:56 > 1:00:00between two good enemies.

1:00:00 > 1:00:02We are enemies, are we not?

1:00:02 > 1:00:03Our peoples? No.

1:00:03 > 1:00:07Our philosophies? Yes.

1:00:09 > 1:00:11FRENZIED SHOUTING

1:00:22 > 1:00:25Do you see any lack of spirit there?

1:00:25 > 1:00:27Detect any weakness now?

1:00:27 > 1:00:28Nothing but high spirits -

1:00:28 > 1:00:29hot blood.

1:00:29 > 1:00:32I bow to your good judgment,

1:00:32 > 1:00:35but if it is to be done,

1:00:35 > 1:00:37it should be done now.

1:00:37 > 1:00:39You have never asked my price.

1:00:39 > 1:00:43I assumed there would be one.

1:00:43 > 1:00:46For years we nomadic people paid dreadful tribute

1:00:46 > 1:00:48for the salt from your city.

1:00:48 > 1:00:51Now our turn has come.

1:00:51 > 1:00:56One half of Sodom's yearly output of salt.

1:00:59 > 1:01:02Agreed.

1:01:02 > 1:01:04The leopard tugs at the leash.

1:01:04 > 1:01:06When I release it,

1:01:06 > 1:01:10do you take care of the play within the walls?

1:01:10 > 1:01:11My sister?

1:01:16 > 1:01:19Yes, my sister.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25I've waited a long time for this kind of hunting.

1:10:17 > 1:10:19Even in Sodom, General,

1:10:19 > 1:10:22the Sodomite cavalry is noted for its treachery.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25I hope they're not vital to your plans.

1:10:25 > 1:10:26We hold them in reserve.

1:10:26 > 1:10:28With good fortune, they won't fight.

1:10:28 > 1:10:29Lot! >

1:10:29 > 1:10:30Lot!

1:10:32 > 1:10:35tents, grain, everything burned.

1:10:35 > 1:10:38All our men are in their assigned positions.

1:10:41 > 1:10:43Ready, Lot!

1:10:43 > 1:10:46But suppose the Helamites don't chose to fight

1:10:46 > 1:10:48where we want them to?

1:10:48 > 1:10:50That's what the decoys are for.

1:10:50 > 1:10:53Signal them to come towards us.

1:15:36 > 1:15:38and we turn the tide of the battle.

1:15:38 > 1:15:40You take that tank,

1:17:40 > 1:17:42Aah!

1:17:47 > 1:17:49We'll be massacred!

1:17:49 > 1:17:50Lot, order a retreat.

1:17:50 > 1:17:52Our men must hold them,

1:17:52 > 1:17:54give us time to break the dam.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56The dam? No, Lot!

1:17:56 > 1:17:57No.

1:17:57 > 1:18:00It's our peoples' only hope for the future.

1:18:00 > 1:18:02I know that!

1:18:02 > 1:18:03There's nothing else to do.

1:18:03 > 1:18:05Order our men to fight

1:18:05 > 1:18:07till they hear the horn.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09The Sodomites, too.

1:18:09 > 1:18:11When they hear the horn, they'll retreat.

1:18:11 > 1:18:13Eber, back to the dam.

1:19:28 > 1:19:31We'll hold them as long as we can.

1:19:34 > 1:19:35Now, Eber. Now!

1:19:37 > 1:19:39Over there. You, up there!

1:19:39 > 1:19:41We'll break the dam.

1:19:41 > 1:19:43Have you warned them to watch my signal?

1:19:43 > 1:19:45Yes! They'll sound the alarm.

1:19:49 > 1:19:51They're trying to drown us.

1:19:51 > 1:19:52Your men, dismount!

3:03:04 > 3:03:07'that I have made the proper choice,

3:03:07 > 3:03:09'and show me if you will

3:03:09 > 3:03:11'what is it I am to do next in thy service.'

3:03:13 > 3:03:15Where's the water?

3:03:15 > 3:03:16In there. Quick.

3:03:35 > 3:03:37There! Quick!

3:03:37 > 3:03:38I'll look there.

3:03:46 > 3:03:47Maleb!

3:04:09 > 3:04:11All our work, destroyed.

3:04:12 > 3:04:15Ruined by the water we counted on as our blessing.

3:04:15 > 3:04:17The water's still there

3:04:17 > 3:04:19to grow things again.

3:04:19 > 3:04:20Lot!

3:04:20 > 3:04:22The water.

3:04:30 > 3:04:32This land is cursed.

3:04:33 > 3:04:34I'm not convinced.

3:04:36 > 3:04:39I'm not convinced at all.

3:04:45 > 3:04:47The whole tip of it.

3:04:47 > 3:04:50The flood or the landslide carried away the earth.

3:04:50 > 3:04:52Our soil will grow nothing.

3:04:52 > 3:04:54We'll never raise a crop.

3:04:54 > 3:04:56This is on our land.

3:04:57 > 3:05:00What good is land that is poisoned? Dead?

3:05:00 > 3:05:03Better we leave it, return whence we came.

3:05:03 > 3:05:06No. We'll accept the Queen's invitation.

3:05:06 > 3:05:08We will live in Sodom.

3:05:08 > 3:05:10Separate, but in their full view.

3:05:10 > 3:05:12Live in Sodom?

3:05:12 > 3:05:15This is the sign I was asking for.

3:05:15 > 3:05:19Jehovah's chosen me to lead my people from the fields.

3:05:19 > 3:05:20We'll open up shops,

3:05:20 > 3:05:22give honest weights, fair measures.

3:05:22 > 3:05:24The Sodomite tyranny is ended!

3:05:24 > 3:05:26Merchants who never came to Sodom

3:05:26 > 3:05:29will come to buy from us.

3:05:29 > 3:05:31We'll pay for our land in one year.

3:05:31 > 3:05:33But what will we sell?

3:05:33 > 3:05:34Salt!

3:05:43 > 3:05:45And so it came about

3:05:45 > 3:05:47that the Hebrews lived within the walls

3:05:47 > 3:05:49of Sodom and Gomorrah.

3:05:49 > 3:05:51And they gave up their simple lives

3:05:51 > 3:05:52as farmers and herdsmen

3:05:52 > 3:05:54to become merchants of salt.

3:05:54 > 3:05:57To pay for our land, Ishmael, or for you?

3:05:57 > 3:05:59No, to free the slaves.

3:05:59 > 3:06:00Quiet, quiet.

3:06:00 > 3:06:03It's Judge Lot's midday meal. Come back tomorrow.

3:06:03 > 3:06:06He'll do his best to listen to your grievances

3:06:06 > 3:06:07and dispense justice.

3:06:07 > 3:06:10I remember when Lot wouldn't stop work to eat.

3:06:10 > 3:06:11He ate as he worked.

3:06:11 > 3:06:15Said sweat made crusts taste as good as a meal.

3:06:15 > 3:06:17Lot used to say salt should be free -

3:06:17 > 3:06:19like air, like water.

3:06:19 > 3:06:21Now we sell it for gold.

3:06:21 > 3:06:24Look, the tax I collect from one day's effort.

3:06:24 > 3:06:26That's to buy our land from the Queen.

3:06:26 > 3:06:29We sell more because our price is fair.

3:06:29 > 3:06:30Tell the Sodomite slaves that.

3:06:30 > 3:06:32To meet our fair price,

3:06:32 > 3:06:33the Sodomites work them faster,

3:06:33 > 3:06:35whip them harder.

3:06:35 > 3:06:36Lot's won a great victory.

3:06:36 > 3:06:39He brings wealth to you just as to us.

3:06:39 > 3:06:41Can it be we Sodomites

3:06:41 > 3:06:43are more generous than you Hebrews?

3:06:43 > 3:06:45We admire your Lot.

3:06:45 > 3:06:47You admire him. We love him.

3:06:47 > 3:06:49And our love obliges us to remind him

3:06:49 > 3:06:51he is Jehovah's servant.

3:06:51 > 3:06:53A servant must not forget his master.

3:06:53 > 3:06:54Your anger is intemperate, Ishmael.

3:06:54 > 3:06:57How else should anger be?

3:06:59 > 3:07:01Can you explain what you have to gain

3:07:01 > 3:07:03by such radical action?

3:07:03 > 3:07:05It can't go on like this.

3:07:05 > 3:07:06We must stop them.

3:07:06 > 3:07:08Create an open breach with the Sodomites?

3:07:08 > 3:07:12They wouldn't know. It would appear the slaves planned it.

3:07:12 > 3:07:13What is this?

3:07:13 > 3:07:16When they do escape, we have the Queen's word.

3:07:16 > 3:07:18Once inside a Hebrew dwelling,

3:07:18 > 3:07:19any slave has sanctuary.

3:07:19 > 3:07:21You'd steal the Queen's property

3:07:21 > 3:07:23and hide behind her word?

3:07:23 > 3:07:24Property?

3:07:24 > 3:07:28Are flesh and blood, human beings, merely property?

3:07:28 > 3:07:30How you've changed.

3:07:30 > 3:07:32I'm a man of peace, Ishmael.

3:07:32 > 3:07:34I must respect the way my neighbors think.

3:07:34 > 3:07:36We've accepted their hospitality,

3:07:36 > 3:07:37broken bread with them.

3:07:37 > 3:07:39What they've paid for we cannot simply steal.

3:07:39 > 3:07:42We'll lose all moral ground for being here.

3:07:42 > 3:07:45Our only moral ground is to free slaves.

3:07:45 > 3:07:46We are in Sodom

3:07:46 > 3:07:48to win people over to decency.

3:07:48 > 3:07:49While slaves die?

3:07:50 > 3:07:53Of all people, you know what it's like

3:07:53 > 3:07:54to be a slave.

3:07:54 > 3:07:56Tell him!

3:07:56 > 3:07:58A mine slave?

3:07:58 > 3:08:00What do I know of mine slaves?

3:08:00 > 3:08:02I was never one of those.

3:08:02 > 3:08:05I think their freedom is less important

3:08:05 > 3:08:07than our peace with Sodom.

3:08:07 > 3:08:08Ishmael, I order you -

3:08:08 > 3:08:11you will make no move without my consent.

3:08:11 > 3:08:13Then why do we live here?

3:08:13 > 3:08:15You still will not understand.

3:08:15 > 3:08:18As we grow in the esteem of the Sodomites,

3:08:18 > 3:08:20we'll attain by law all that we wish.

3:08:20 > 3:08:22By law!

3:08:22 > 3:08:24And all this you'd jeopardize

3:08:24 > 3:08:25on one rash, destructive act.

3:08:25 > 3:08:28They change us more than we change them.

3:08:28 > 3:08:29Their evil infects us!

3:08:29 > 3:08:31Look around you.

3:08:31 > 3:08:33Your clothes, this food, this house -

3:08:33 > 3:08:35we live in a nicer place

3:08:35 > 3:08:37because the elders wish it.

3:08:37 > 3:08:39Lot's the leader of a prosperous people.

3:08:39 > 3:08:43And Shuah - who paints her face, who is never home?

3:08:43 > 3:08:45And my own Maleb,

3:08:45 > 3:08:47who avoids my eyes?

3:08:47 > 3:08:48Is this true?

3:08:48 > 3:08:49Shuah passes her time

3:08:49 > 3:08:52as others of her own age do.

3:08:52 > 3:08:53And as for Maleb,

3:08:53 > 3:08:56if you gave her as much thought as the slaves,

3:08:56 > 3:08:59there would be no trouble between you.

3:08:59 > 3:09:02How can you judge innocence, who have none?

3:09:09 > 3:09:13If you have any charge against my wife or myself,

3:09:13 > 3:09:15bring it before the elders.

3:09:17 > 3:09:18The elders.

3:09:21 > 3:09:22Excuse him.

3:09:22 > 3:09:25He's angry with me, not you.

3:09:25 > 3:09:27But he doesn't realize how close,

3:09:27 > 3:09:29how really close we are to success

3:09:29 > 3:09:31without any need for force.

3:09:31 > 3:09:33Did Lot listen to you?

3:09:33 > 3:09:34It's what he does best.

3:09:34 > 3:09:37All he refuses to do is act.

3:09:39 > 3:09:41Once the Queen told me

3:09:41 > 3:09:43that between the Hebrews and the world

3:09:43 > 3:09:45stood only Sodom.

3:09:45 > 3:09:47Do you believe in that?

3:09:47 > 3:09:49Yes, I do.

3:09:51 > 3:09:52Of all the Hebrews,

3:09:52 > 3:09:56who do you think is now the mightiest?

3:09:56 > 3:09:58My uncle, Abraham.

3:09:58 > 3:10:01And if you were to convert Sodom...

3:10:03 > 3:10:06..then who would be the greatest?

3:10:06 > 3:10:07Lot.

3:10:07 > 3:10:09How proud I would be.

3:10:09 > 3:10:11Proud?

3:10:11 > 3:10:12Mm-hmm.

3:10:12 > 3:10:15If that should come to pass,

3:10:15 > 3:10:18it will be the will of Jehovah.

3:10:18 > 3:10:21I am simply his chosen instrument.

3:10:21 > 3:10:23His instrument?

3:10:23 > 3:10:24No.

3:10:24 > 3:10:28It's for what you have done as Lot the man.

3:10:30 > 3:10:33You still don't understand, do you?

3:10:33 > 3:10:34You still don't believe.

3:10:34 > 3:10:38That the great things you accomplish aren't yours at all,

3:10:38 > 3:10:40but thanks only to this great invisible Jehovah?

3:10:40 > 3:10:41No.

3:10:41 > 3:10:45Aren't there times when you know where the true credit lies?

3:10:47 > 3:10:49Did, uh...

3:10:49 > 3:10:52your ex-slave irritate you,

3:10:52 > 3:10:53annoy you?

3:10:53 > 3:10:54No.

3:10:56 > 3:10:58I worry for your sake.

3:10:58 > 3:11:03If ever we encounter hardship or danger again,

3:11:03 > 3:11:05without faith,

3:11:05 > 3:11:08you'd be lost.

3:11:08 > 3:11:10Then I shall be lost!

3:11:16 > 3:11:19Because I can't believe in what I can't see.

3:11:19 > 3:11:22I know I will never be able

3:11:22 > 3:11:24to face hardship or privation ever again.

3:11:32 > 3:11:34But I won't have to now,

3:11:34 > 3:11:36because you will protect me.

3:11:40 > 3:11:43Isn't it enough... for now...

3:11:44 > 3:11:46..that I believe in you?

3:12:02 > 3:12:04Your sister - Maleb.

3:12:11 > 3:12:12No.

3:12:13 > 3:12:15No.

3:12:15 > 3:12:17No, I don't believe it.

3:12:17 > 3:12:19Because it makes you angry.

3:12:19 > 3:12:20Is that why?

3:12:41 > 3:12:45Maleb is too young, too innocent,

3:12:45 > 3:12:48too sweet to be as wicked as...

3:12:48 > 3:12:49as I am.

3:12:58 > 3:13:00Younger, yes.

3:13:01 > 3:13:02And perhaps...

3:13:04 > 3:13:06..perhaps also...

3:13:06 > 3:13:08..sweeter.

3:13:10 > 3:13:11You're lying.

3:13:11 > 3:13:14If you had, if you did love her, too,

3:13:14 > 3:13:16why would you tell me?

3:13:16 > 3:13:17Why not?

3:13:17 > 3:13:20Hasn't it succeeded...

3:13:20 > 3:13:23in making you jealous?

3:13:24 > 3:13:27You see, I was right.

3:13:27 > 3:13:30You are jealous.

3:13:31 > 3:13:33I wish I knew!

3:13:33 > 3:13:35I wish I knew!

3:13:42 > 3:13:43What difference does it make?

3:13:43 > 3:13:45She's my sister.

3:13:45 > 3:13:48Haven't you now more in common?

3:13:48 > 3:13:51More in common, too, with that other Hebrew

3:13:51 > 3:13:53who finds our Sodom so fair - your father?

3:13:53 > 3:13:55My father is good.

3:13:55 > 3:13:56He's perfect.

3:13:56 > 3:13:58Did I say he wasn't?

3:14:00 > 3:14:02Didn't he marry one of our women?

3:14:03 > 3:14:06Bring your whole tribe into the city?

3:14:08 > 3:14:10How then do you differ from him?

3:14:11 > 3:14:13And how does Maleb?

3:14:14 > 3:14:15Or I?

3:14:17 > 3:14:20Do I remind you of your father?

3:14:36 > 3:14:38Captain.

3:14:38 > 3:14:39Come in.

3:14:49 > 3:14:50You prefer the captain?

3:25:42 > 3:25:44They slammed the doors in their faces.

3:25:44 > 3:25:46Left us to be killed.

3:25:46 > 3:25:48Silence! Quiet!

3:25:48 > 3:25:50This man at least. He is a Hebrew.

3:25:50 > 3:25:52If he has broken the law,

3:25:52 > 3:25:54I reserve the right to decide his punishment.

3:25:54 > 3:25:56Very well.

3:25:56 > 3:25:58To prison, to await judge Lot's pleasure.

3:25:58 > 3:26:01No! No! I want to stay with them.

3:26:01 > 3:26:02I want to stay with them!

3:26:02 > 3:26:03Let me go!

3:26:03 > 3:26:05As for the rest,

3:26:05 > 3:26:08their punishment will provide us entertainment.

3:26:08 > 3:26:09Help us!

3:26:09 > 3:26:11Neither I nor my people

3:26:11 > 3:26:13will witness such a spectacle.

3:26:13 > 3:26:17Perhaps you'd better ask your people, Lot.

3:26:34 > 3:26:35I hear no protest.

3:26:40 > 3:26:44They seem to feel the punishment is deserved.

3:26:44 > 3:26:45Take them out.

3:26:45 > 3:26:46Stop them, Hebrews!

3:26:46 > 3:26:49There are more of you than them.

3:26:49 > 3:26:52Stop them! Stop them! Save the slaves.

3:26:52 > 3:26:53Save them!

3:26:53 > 3:26:54Save them!

3:26:54 > 3:26:58By all means, Lot, save them.

3:26:58 > 3:27:00Save us! Save us!

3:27:00 > 3:27:03Now! Now! Save us now!

3:27:03 > 3:27:04Don't let us die!

3:27:04 > 3:27:05Please, Lot!

3:27:05 > 3:27:08Lot! Help us, Lot!

3:27:10 > 3:27:12Hebrews, help us!

3:27:12 > 3:27:13Hebrews!

3:27:13 > 3:27:15Your people grow more human, Lot,

3:27:15 > 3:27:19but how can you expect them to defend slaves

3:27:19 > 3:27:21when you yourself could not defend

3:27:21 > 3:27:23the virtue of your own family?

3:27:24 > 3:27:25Your wife.

3:27:29 > 3:27:31Your wife...

3:27:31 > 3:27:35who was one of us and will be again -

3:27:35 > 3:27:37she knew, but concealed it from you.

3:27:37 > 3:27:38Don't listen to him.

3:27:38 > 3:27:40He's jealous of your favor with the Queen.

3:27:40 > 3:27:43He just wants to trap you.

3:27:43 > 3:27:45She shields your daughter Shuah.

3:27:51 > 3:27:52Shuah...

3:27:52 > 3:27:57you once vowed to kill the man who took her innocence.

3:28:00 > 3:28:02And I would.

3:28:02 > 3:28:05Then kill me.

3:28:05 > 3:28:07See the guilt on her face!

3:28:09 > 3:28:12And the other, Maleb...

3:28:12 > 3:28:14whom you find so virtuous.

3:28:14 > 3:28:17Avenge her, too.

3:28:27 > 3:28:28Wait.

3:28:30 > 3:28:33An equal struggle is more...

3:28:33 > 3:28:34entertaining?

3:28:40 > 3:28:41No, Lot, don't!

3:28:41 > 3:28:44They're only trying to provoke you.

3:31:30 > 3:31:32Spare me, Lot. Spare me!

3:31:32 > 3:31:34In the name of your god, spare me!

3:31:34 > 3:31:36No, father, no!

3:31:36 > 3:31:39It was no one's fault but mine.

3:31:39 > 3:31:41Let him live. Let him live!

3:31:50 > 3:31:52Oh, no.

3:31:52 > 3:31:54No! How could you?

3:31:54 > 3:31:55How could you?

3:31:55 > 3:31:58You could have let him live for my sake,

3:31:58 > 3:32:00and you didn't!

3:32:01 > 3:32:04Don't - don't look sad.

3:32:06 > 3:32:10I once...promised you the pleasure

3:32:10 > 3:32:15of my dying in your arms...

3:32:16 > 3:32:17remember?

3:32:17 > 3:32:21No! You won't die. I won't let you.

3:32:23 > 3:32:25Congratulations.

3:32:26 > 3:32:28How delicious to cause death,

3:32:28 > 3:32:31to see life leaking out of a body

3:32:31 > 3:32:32and to think,

3:32:32 > 3:32:33I did this.

3:32:34 > 3:32:37You are a true Sodomite, Lot.

3:32:37 > 3:32:39Welcome.

3:32:40 > 3:32:41No.

3:32:42 > 3:32:44No.

3:32:44 > 3:32:46Just look at your Hebrews, Lot.

3:32:46 > 3:32:47Look at them!

3:32:50 > 3:32:53Next only to the pleasure of giving death

3:32:53 > 3:32:56is the excitement of watching it.

3:32:56 > 3:33:00They were participants in every bloody moment.

3:33:03 > 3:33:07You have converted the chosen people, Lot...

3:33:07 > 3:33:08to Sodom.

3:33:09 > 3:33:12I have killed.

3:33:15 > 3:33:17What would Hebrew justice have to say to that?

3:33:17 > 3:33:19Don't fall into her trap, Lot.

3:33:19 > 3:33:21Be careful.

3:33:21 > 3:33:23What would be your sentence, judge Lot,

3:33:23 > 3:33:26on such a murderer?

3:33:34 > 3:33:35Speak up, judge Lot.

3:33:35 > 3:33:37We await your words.

3:33:37 > 3:33:40I would sentence him to jail...

3:33:41 > 3:33:44to be tried for his life.

3:33:48 > 3:33:51Don't let them take you away, Lot.

3:33:51 > 3:33:53Fight them. Please fight them!

3:33:53 > 3:33:56Look, your people... your people will help you.

3:33:56 > 3:33:58I promise you they will.

3:33:58 > 3:34:00Justice is just a word.

3:34:00 > 3:34:03If you love me, fight them!

3:34:03 > 3:34:04Don't you understand, Lot?

3:34:04 > 3:34:07You had the right to kill him.

3:34:07 > 3:34:09You had the right.

3:34:09 > 3:34:11Oh, if you love me...

3:34:11 > 3:34:12I beg of you.

3:34:12 > 3:34:14Fight them.

3:34:19 > 3:34:22You don't understand.

3:34:22 > 3:34:24You just don't understand.

3:34:27 > 3:34:29Lot.

3:34:29 > 3:34:30Lot!

3:34:30 > 3:34:31Lot!

3:34:31 > 3:34:32Lot!

3:34:32 > 3:34:35What's happened? Why are you here?

3:34:35 > 3:34:38What have they done to you, Lot?

3:34:38 > 3:34:39Lot!

3:34:55 > 3:34:58Oil him well.

3:35:06 > 3:35:08More coals on the fire.

3:35:08 > 3:35:11Eat and drink.

3:35:22 > 3:35:24Aah!

3:35:24 > 3:35:26Aah!

3:35:26 > 3:35:28Aah!

3:35:49 > 3:35:51No.

3:35:51 > 3:35:54No!

3:36:00 > 3:36:02Stop!

3:36:02 > 3:36:04Stop!

3:36:05 > 3:36:08Lord god Jehovah...

3:36:08 > 3:36:09help me.

3:36:10 > 3:36:13How could I have so deceived myself?

3:36:13 > 3:36:16How could I have done such harm

3:36:16 > 3:36:19when I thought only to do good?

3:36:19 > 3:36:21I exposed my people

3:36:21 > 3:36:23to temptation no man could withstand,

3:36:23 > 3:36:28and this I did with your name on my lips,

3:36:28 > 3:36:32but only pride in my heart.

3:36:32 > 3:36:36And now it's... it's too late.

3:36:36 > 3:36:38But the Queen spoke truth.

3:36:38 > 3:36:42If we are now as evil as she says we are,

3:36:42 > 3:36:44then we must destroy each other,

3:36:44 > 3:36:46because we're not worth saving.

3:36:46 > 3:36:50Let us be wiped from the face of the earth.

3:36:50 > 3:36:53My lord god...

3:36:53 > 3:36:56is there nothing of you left in us?

3:36:56 > 3:36:58Hear me.

3:36:58 > 3:37:02If there is that within us

3:37:02 > 3:37:04that still struggles for life

3:37:04 > 3:37:08in the face of death and damnation...

3:37:08 > 3:37:11let it be heard.

3:37:11 > 3:37:15Speak to me, Jehovah,

3:37:15 > 3:37:20that I may know we are worthy of survival,

3:37:20 > 3:37:23that we have a right to live.

3:37:53 > 3:37:56We bring a message for you, Lot.

3:37:56 > 3:38:00The lord's wrath is upon these places

3:38:00 > 3:38:03because they have corrupted even his chosen people.

3:38:03 > 3:38:05Because, in their sinfulness,

3:38:05 > 3:38:06Sodom and Gomorrah

3:38:06 > 3:38:09would allow all god's creatures to die.

3:38:09 > 3:38:12You must go, Lot. You must lead your people to safety.

3:38:12 > 3:38:13By sundown tonight,

3:38:13 > 3:38:17the lord's vengeance will destroy Sodom and Gomorrah

3:38:17 > 3:38:18and all who live here.

3:38:18 > 3:38:20I give thanks to Jehovah

3:38:20 > 3:38:23that he finds us worthy of salvation,

3:38:23 > 3:38:26to be his instrument on earth.

3:38:26 > 3:38:29But will he destroy all the Sodomites,

3:38:29 > 3:38:31all -guilty and innocent?

3:38:31 > 3:38:35The innocent had their chance

3:38:35 > 3:38:38to speak out against the guilty

3:38:38 > 3:38:39and did not.

3:38:39 > 3:38:42Jehovah is just.

3:38:42 > 3:38:44If there are 50 righteous men here,

3:38:44 > 3:38:46would he not spare the place?

3:38:46 > 3:38:48Search then for the 50...

3:38:48 > 3:38:51if there are 50 righteous among the Sodomites.

3:38:51 > 3:38:5340! Jehovah in his mercy

3:38:53 > 3:38:57would not destroy so many good men with the bad.

3:38:57 > 3:38:59Not even 30...

3:38:59 > 3:39:01nor 20 nor even 10.

3:39:01 > 3:39:04If I could find 10 just men

3:39:04 > 3:39:07among the Sodomites before sundown tonight,

3:39:07 > 3:39:10would he not spare the rest?

3:39:14 > 3:39:17Jehovah will spare the rest for 10 just men,

3:39:17 > 3:39:20but if there are not 10,

3:39:20 > 3:39:23he in his vengeance will level these cities

3:39:23 > 3:39:25and all in them.

3:39:25 > 3:39:29And remember, Lot, if among those who leave, any look back,

3:39:29 > 3:39:31Jehovah will know they do so

3:39:31 > 3:39:34in regret for the ways of Sodom,

3:39:34 > 3:39:35and he will smite them.

3:39:35 > 3:39:38Let no one look back. No one.

3:39:39 > 3:39:42I thank thee, Jehovah, for thy mercy.

3:40:11 > 3:40:12Lot, where are you?

3:40:12 > 3:40:15Lot, we must talk to you, Lot.

3:40:15 > 3:40:18Lot, where are you?

3:40:18 > 3:40:19Ishmael!

3:40:21 > 3:40:22Lot.

3:40:25 > 3:40:28We will not let you abdicate, Lot.

3:40:28 > 3:40:30You're still our leader, Lot.

3:40:30 > 3:40:31Command us.

3:40:33 > 3:40:35A miracle. I was freed.

3:40:37 > 3:40:39See?

3:40:39 > 3:40:41My chains dropped off.

3:40:41 > 3:40:42I was freed.

3:40:44 > 3:40:45Lot, too.

3:40:45 > 3:40:47He has seen the miracle.

3:40:47 > 3:40:48Look at his face.

3:40:48 > 3:40:49I sinned,

3:40:49 > 3:40:51and then in my pride

3:40:51 > 3:40:53I thought to punish myself.

3:40:54 > 3:40:57But now I know there is another

3:40:57 > 3:41:01who will punish me in his own time.

3:41:03 > 3:41:05Necor...

3:41:05 > 3:41:07we must leave these cities.

3:41:07 > 3:41:09Are we not to stay?

3:41:09 > 3:41:10No.

3:41:10 > 3:41:13To win the Sodomites over?

3:41:13 > 3:41:16Halt in the name of the Queen.

3:41:21 > 3:41:23Let us pass.

3:41:23 > 3:41:24Don't be a fool.

3:41:24 > 3:41:26I have my orders.

3:41:26 > 3:41:27Lot, he'll kill you.

3:41:27 > 3:41:30In the name of Jehovah.

3:41:31 > 3:41:33Aah! Aah! Aah!

3:41:35 > 3:41:36The light!

3:41:37 > 3:41:40The lightning struck them blind.

3:41:40 > 3:41:42It's another miracle.

3:41:42 > 3:41:44We must tell our people.

3:41:44 > 3:41:46We must tell them what we've seen.

3:41:49 > 3:41:51Stop it.

3:41:51 > 3:41:52Stop the wheel.

3:41:52 > 3:41:54Stop the wheel.

3:41:55 > 3:41:57They're dead.

3:41:57 > 3:42:00The entertainment has ended.

3:42:07 > 3:42:10Or has it just begun?

3:42:10 > 3:42:11Friends!

3:42:11 > 3:42:13Hebrews!

3:42:13 > 3:42:15These cities are accursed!

3:42:15 > 3:42:17We must all leave

3:42:17 > 3:42:19before the sun goes down!

3:42:26 > 3:42:28Captain,

3:42:28 > 3:42:29take this man.

3:42:29 > 3:42:30No.

3:42:30 > 3:42:32Help him up.

3:42:32 > 3:42:33Let him talk.

3:42:33 > 3:42:35He amuses us.

3:42:37 > 3:42:39Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

3:42:39 > 3:42:41Ha ha ha!

3:42:41 > 3:42:45These cities will be smitten from the earth...

3:42:46 > 3:42:48reduced to dust!

3:42:50 > 3:42:51Hebrews,

3:42:51 > 3:42:53listen to me.

3:42:53 > 3:42:55I have been proud.

3:42:55 > 3:42:56I led you here

3:42:56 > 3:43:00to be corrupted by an evil people.

3:43:02 > 3:43:05But the lord, in his mercy, offers us salvation.

3:43:05 > 3:43:07Come.

3:43:07 > 3:43:09Follow me.

3:43:09 > 3:43:11Leave this monstrous place!

3:43:11 > 3:43:13Ha-ha-ha!

3:43:13 > 3:43:15A miracle. Of course.

3:43:15 > 3:43:16You must believe.

3:43:16 > 3:43:18Look at the sun.

3:43:18 > 3:43:19It is already low.

3:43:19 > 3:43:22Each moment it sinks lower.

3:43:22 > 3:43:25We have only till it sets!

3:43:25 > 3:43:27Why not burn him?

3:43:27 > 3:43:29He is mad, crazed.

3:43:29 > 3:43:32He can do us no harm.

3:43:32 > 3:43:34And you citizens of Sodom, of Gomorrah,

3:43:34 > 3:43:37if there are 10 among you who will come with us -

3:43:37 > 3:43:38but 10, hear you -

3:43:38 > 3:43:43then the lord will spare you and your cities.

3:43:43 > 3:43:44Ha ha ha!

3:43:44 > 3:43:46Only 10...

3:43:46 > 3:43:4910 who still believe in life...

3:43:49 > 3:43:51and not death.

3:43:51 > 3:43:52Ha ha ha!

3:43:52 > 3:43:54Don't laugh!

3:43:54 > 3:43:57Forego your perverse pleasures!

3:43:59 > 3:44:02You have killed the Helamites, Lot,

3:44:02 > 3:44:04rid me of my brother.

3:44:04 > 3:44:06Now you wish to leave,

3:44:06 > 3:44:10leave Sodom even richer in salt than when you came?

3:44:10 > 3:44:11By all means...

3:44:11 > 3:44:13go.

3:44:13 > 3:44:16If 10 of my people wish to go,

3:44:16 > 3:44:17they may do so.

3:44:20 > 3:44:22Think of all your people.

3:44:24 > 3:44:25Lead them with us.

3:44:25 > 3:44:29What you call sin, to me is virtue.

3:44:29 > 3:44:33And all-powerful death, whom you hate,

3:44:33 > 3:44:34I worship.

3:44:36 > 3:44:40I turn my back on you, Lot...

3:44:41 > 3:44:42on you...

3:44:42 > 3:44:44and your impotent god.

3:44:44 > 3:44:46Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

3:44:50 > 3:44:51Clouds, lightning.

3:44:51 > 3:44:55Such simple wonders you teach your people to fear.

3:44:55 > 3:44:59It is not from fear that they leave Sodom,

3:44:59 > 3:45:02but from faith,

3:45:02 > 3:45:06faith in him whose passing shadow may be a cloud,

3:45:06 > 3:45:08whose voice is the thunder.

3:45:12 > 3:45:14Look long on that sun.

3:45:15 > 3:45:17You'll never see it again.

3:45:28 > 3:45:30Follow me.

3:45:30 > 3:45:32Hebrews, have faith.

3:45:33 > 3:45:34Pray.

3:45:35 > 3:45:37Listen to the elders.

3:45:37 > 3:45:38Listen.

3:45:38 > 3:45:40A hot wind from the desert.

3:45:40 > 3:45:42We'll have a storm.

3:45:42 > 3:45:44It will be beautiful.

3:45:45 > 3:45:47Come.

3:45:47 > 3:45:49Follow me!

3:45:49 > 3:45:52Lot, is it true Sodom will be destroyed?
