[ No Audible Dialogue .]
[ Man Grunts .]
- [ Groans .]
| - Daniel? [ Breathing Heavily.
Groans .]
Daniel! What's happened? - Take it! [ Groans .]
| - Oh.
no.
You have to- to stop them.
- Don't talk.
| - Hang on.
Daniel.
| We're going to get you back to the sanctuary.
The tower.
The rock tower.
[ Slowly .]
| You must get there.
What do you mean? | What rock tower? Daniel.
what is this? Tell my children I love them.
Don't let the Romans change the truth.
Daniel.
[ Man .]
He can't have gotten far.
! | Romans.
| Daniel! Come on.
| We'll come back for him.
[ Man Shouting In Distance .]
Come on! | [ Horse Whinnies .]
I won't forget you.
Halt.
There! - Nothing.
Eminence.
| - Crucify him.
- He's dead.
| - Crucify him.
[ Man Narrating .]
| Long ago, | at the edge of the known world, the last Celtic tribes | were fighting for survival.
Europe had fallen | to the Romans, and this remote | and untamed island was the final stronghold | of the ancient ways.
[ Roaring .]
Why would he risk his life for this? | If we could read it.
| maybe we could tell.
And this-Where did this come from? | Did you ever see him wearing it before? There's talk he stole it.
| What? He had children to feed.
| Oh.
Maybe he stole it from the Romans.
| and they killed him for it.
- No.
| - He would never have done that.
| He was too honorable.
- [ Tully .]
He's not a thief.
| - How are his daughters? Angry.
| Can't say I blame them.
Catlin.
he kept going on about getting to a- | a rock tower.
Do you know what he meant? | Well, if the Romans were after him, he must have been doing | something for the cause- for unity.
| In the woods? He shouldn't have been out there alone.
Tomorrow.
we'll go see the Druid king.
| He will know what this means.
In the meantime, | I want no one outside tonight.
If the Romans want this bad enough to kill for it.
| they won't stop with Daniel.
What do we say to his children | when they ask if their father died a thief?.
We tell them it wasn't true.
and that we're gonna prove it.
[ Thunderclap .]
I couldn't find my way to the door | with these maps.
I want double the troops.
| We march again at daybreak.
- Don't look to her.
| - [ Thunder Rumbling .]
I'm in command now by decree of the emperor.
| She knows that.
Eminence.
my heart.
as yours.
| is focused on finding | the emperor's stolen property.
If you had this island under control | as Rome mandated.
we'd be on our way home by now.
How a thief | could come to these shores and have the run of the place | is beyond me.
Allow me to make amends.
[ Sighs .]
| Longinus.
[ Thunder Rumbling .]
Well.
finally I get to meet | the Counsel Longinus- rumored to be the genius | behind many prospering men | and women.
No enemies alive.
Reputation is everything.
But what about the truth? Who are you? What do you seek | at the far edge of the empire? I could ask you the same question.
Eat.
Oh.
Longinus | has transcended food.
I myself never fast.
| I'd miss the pleasure | of my morning constitutional.
- The cleansing of your soul.
| - [ Thunder Rumbling .]
More of a confession.
And confession is a necessity.
I look forward to speaking with you again.
Come.
Nilus.
Bedtime.
Tomorrow, I expect better results.
Not yet.
You're not my father.
| Do you know | who you're dining with? Yes- power.
| Don't you think it suits me? Pasolinus is a Red Boot.
Diana- part of the emperor's secret guard.
| So? His assignment is to document the history | of the empire with the proper slant.
| of course.
Control the truth.
you control the masses.
| Well.
I guess I should be flattered.
He's not interested in you.
| and he's certainly not after | any stolen military plans.
What then? | I don't know.
But whoever brings back this treasure | is going to be very popular | with the emperor.
Perhaps | you should be thinking | more about your power and how to secure it.
[ Footsteps Approaching .]
- What are you doing? | - [ Sniffles .]
Nothing.
I was just checking | to be sure they were safe.
| They are.
You're crying.
What is it.
Catlin? | Do you know something about this | that you're not telling me? [ Sniffles .]
| I have to go to bed.
Cat.
Cat.
Daniel was one of my closest friends.
| but when he was dying.
| he didn't want to talk to me.
He was my friend too.
| All he wanted.
with his last breath.
| was to give this to you.
Catlin.
what is it? If- If it meant that much to him- | If it meant that much to him- Shh.
Come here.
[ Sniffles.
Sobbing .]
| I promise we'll get to | the bottom of this.
I promise.
No.
You should just leave it alone.
| Stay out of it.
| Why? Because you could die too.
And that would make no sense at all.
[ Father.]
| Conor.
| Father.
You are looking good, Father.
| Haven't aged a day.
[ Chuckles .]
| I'm seven.
And holding up very well.
We've brought you some seeds | from our meadow.
Thank you.
| but this is not a time for planting.
The balance in the land | has been broken.
Show me what else you have.
There is much power here- more life than I've ever felt.
The man who carried it wore this.
[ Fergus .]
| What is it, Father? The Roman sign for death.
The Romans lie.
| They lie about us.
and write down their lies | with marks that last forever- no long poems.
no songs- only marks that hide their deeds.
[ Fergus .]
| Sweet Bridget.
- Who did this? | - The Red Boot.
- Who? | - A Roman who rides | with a ghost at his side.
- How did this happen? | - These people were betrayed.
as you will be.
[ Imitating Bird Call .]
[ Catlin Imitating Bird Call In Distance .]
[ Imitating Bird Call .]
Anturus? We have the scroll.
öö [ Celtic Folk .]
ö[ Continues .]
Yes.
Yes.
- You say he creates the music too? | - Though your musicians are slaughtering it.
- I understand you had a productive day.
| - I'm still empty-handed.
Then maybe you're looking | in the wrong place.
| Maybe I can help.
You're good at offering services.
| aren't you.
Diana Metellus? Your story I know:Ambitious beauty | from Thrace travels to Rome- quick study.
quick tongue.
Uses her talents the best way she knows.
Finds work in a brothel.
| Climbs that ladder, such as it is, until she is the queen of whores.
Nice work.
Well.
I feel my secret's in good hands.
Longinus? Good night.
Diana.
[ Object Lands .]
[ Groans .]
Deep and entertaining.
It gets better | every time I see it.
Do you appreciate art.
Longinus? When it has an eternal quality.
How is it you've escaped my view? Your presence is felt | in cities throughout the empire, | but no trace of you.
- [ Fingers Snap .]
| - Leave us, Anturus.
I understand you're writing | a history of the empire.
This wouldn't include | the story of the Christ? I will neither confirm nor deny anything.
| Of course not.
But if you were writing such a tale- | [ Liquid Pouring .]
The story of the Savior fascinates me.
I'm curious.
| How did he actually die? His last breath? He was suffering on the cross.
| close to his moment.
and there came a centurion | who finished him off with a spear.
Imagine how that pathetic creature | felt the next day.
- It was an act of mercy.
| - Mercy? You're talking heresy.
He was sent | to break the Christ's bones.
but instead | he chose to use the spear | to end his agony.
The truth is.
| he was already dead.
Perhaps you should write the history.
Perhaps I should.
| for what could you know | about pain? I think you've had enough wine.
| my friend.
I've known | 400 years of suffering.
I know better than anyone | what happened that day on Golgotha.
- How? | - [ Gasps .]
I was there.
Just a humble soldier | who did his duty.
| [ Grunts .]
- Shall I show this one | the mercy I did the Christ? | - No.
Please don't hurt him.
please.
There was a prophecy: | None of the Christ's bones | would be broken.
- So that he might rise again.
| - You will write that I helped fulfill his destiny.
You will write the truth- my truth.
[ Whimpers Quietly .]
| Do we understand each other? [ Kissing .]
| [ Diana .]
| Yes.
I want you now.
| Yes.
Yes.
Except- | What? you have to do something for me first.
[ Breathing Heavily .]
| Oh.
What? - Strike while the iron is hot.
| - Mmm.
It is.
It is! I need you to do me a favor.
| Anything.
When Pasolinus finds what he's looking for.
| I want you to get it and bring it to me.
Well.
that's impossible.
| He'd never allow it.
| He won't be around to protest.
He's my commanding officer.
I know who commands you.
| [ Gasps.
Sighs .]
I can give you more | than Pasolinus ever can.
Get me what he's after.
and you and I will deliver it | to the emperor personally.
But first you have to kill him.
[ Sighs .]
| Will you do that for me? Yes.
And that little animal of his? | I'll kill him too.
Then you're my protector.
[ Sighs.
Giggles .]
[ Both Sighing, Moaning .]
[ Imitating Bird Call .]
[ Gasps .]
Anturus? Oh, God.
! You killed Anturus.
| You killed him! | Catlin! I found him like that! Thought you'd never betray me.
| I haven't.
What are you doing with this? Anturus was a good man.
| He sacrificed his life | just like Daniel.
For what? | What is this about.
Catlin? Saving the truth | from those who'd bury it.
And no one will stop us- | no one.
I've been trying to protect you.
| Don't you see that? [ Pasolinus .]
| I'm afraid it's too late.
I want them alive.
| Circle them.
Don't let them get away.
[ Guard .]
| Get in there now.
Get in there.
This way! | Over here! Other way around.
! Foolish as flies.
[ Shouting.
Groaning .]
[ Grunts.
Gurgling .]
Longinus.
An eye for an eye.
Your Eminence.
Only the bravest could see the true heart | hidden deep inside the wicked beast.
For only those- | Fergus! They've taken Conor- | Conor and Catlin.
What? | The Romans- | They've taken them.
I'll kill you for this! | Not from there you won't.
Where are the contents? | You have them.
Where are the contents? | I don't understand.
You see how she betrays you? - She serves another.
| - It's not true.
Where are the contents? Eminence! I came as soon as I heard.
| You had a spy in your ranks.
| I consider the betrayal yours.
I beg forgiveness.
| I- I was ignorant.
The most unforgivable sin of all.
There will be a full inquiry | into the attempt on my life.
| Eminence.
on my honor- Honor? Yours? Dirt.
The scroll is gone.
| They gave us nothing.
I will help as I can.
Eminence.
| You may help yourself | to a narrow grave.
Diana Metellus.
[ Gate Creaks, Slams Shut .]
Now.
where are the contents? I'll die before I tell you anything.
That's simply not true.
I know where the scroll is.
| I hid it.
She doesn't know anything.
- You did this? | - [ Pasolinus .]
Where? I'll have to take you to it.
| It's in a secret place.
| You'll never find it without me.
Is that so? Hurting you would be unproductive.
- Where is the scroll? | - Don't tell him.
Conor.
Please.
- Where? | - I'll have to take you to it.
I swear.
- To God? | - [ Catlin Gasps .]
- [ Screams .]
| - No! [ Needle Piercing Flesh .]
- [ Sobbing .]
| - Where are the contents? [ Strains .]
- [ Needle Piercing .]
| - No! [ Conor Shouting In Distance .]
| No.
! Why does Pasolinus think I'm involved? | What did you say to him last night? - You're accusing me of betrayal? | - What did you say? I said that everything | I did in this life I did for you- that my faith in your love | knew no bounds.
- Did I speak out of turn? | - Not jealousy.
Longinus.
Please.
I only had one thing | to offer that man, | and it wasn't love, and I can't believe | you're threatened by that.
In spite of appearances.
| I'm still human.
They haven't made | a saint of me yet.
| [ Thunder Rumbling .]
- Yet? | - Pasolinus knows who I am now.
In exchange for my story.
| he's promised to mark me down | as a man of grace- a saint.
If you can't change history, | at least you can rewrite it.
Well.
isn't that nice.
- But what about me? | What about my place in history? | - What do you mean? - For all your suffering.
I never abandoned you.
| - Diana.
I didn't- When nobody loved you.
I did.
| And is this how you repay me for my generosity? - I've had 400 years of- | - I'm sick of your self-pity! - Leave! | - [ Thunderclap .]
I'll find out what that bastard's | looking for without you.
All human history reduced to "me.
'' "my.
'' "mine.
'' Leave.
[ Groaning Softly .]
What have they done to me? | I can just see shadows.
What have they done? | It's going to be all right, Cat.
| Try to rest.
Jesus.
give me strength.
-Jesus.
give me strength.
| - The Roman god? You believe in him? He's my Savior.
Well.
I hope he can save us now.
What is it? Daniel and Anturus and myself- many people- | [ Sniffles .]
were working to keep the Romans | from burying the truth.
That scroll has to get to the rock tower.
It has to.
in Jesus' name.
Why did you hide | your beliefs from us? I was afraid you wouldn't accept me.
| We love you.
I wish I could see your face.
Forgive me.
There's nothing to forgive.
[ Man .]
| That's right.
- Tie it off.
| - [ Hammering .]
Eminence.
if you kill this prince.
| his people will rise up against me.
I beg you not to make him a martyr.
| I think there might be some- | [ Yelps .]
[ Guard #1 .]
Yes, sir.
| [ Guard #2 .]
| A little more.
[ Guard .]
| Get down.
[ Fergus .]
| Roman pig-dogs.
! Bloated pieces of goat dung.
! Come and get your precious goods.
| I have your scroll.
[ Guard #1 .]
| You men, over here.
! | [ Guard #2 .]
Yes, sir.
Stop.
! Stand fast.
! Free Catlin and get us horses.
Do it.
or your freak dies! | [ Whimpering .]
- Catlin.
get on the horse.
| - [ Conor .]
She can't see, Fergus.
Help her.
Sweet Bridget.
| Just hold on.
lass.
| The horse'll follow.
Conor.
! [ Conor.]
| Hyah! Hyah.
hyah.
hyah! [ Shouting .]
Whoa.
whoa.
| Fergus.
give me the scroll.
I had a plan all worked out.
you know.
| Good.
'cause I'm counting on you | to hold them off.
Like I said.
I have it all worked out.
| [ Chuckles .]
Catlin.
[ Guard .]
| There they are.
! [ Fergus .]
| Come and get it, boys.
! | Hyah! [ Pasolinus .]
| After them! Split up.
Get us horses.
There's nothing down there.
| The rock tower- - It's there.
I know it.
| - Catlin, there's nothing.
- A valley.
but no tower.
| - It's there.
Cat! | I want you to get on my horse.
Come on.
Go north.
We've been all over, Catlin.
| It's not here.
We're at the end of the valley.
Conor.
no.
| Catlin! Pasolinus is on our heels.
| It's here.
Can you see it? Catlin.
wait.
You're here.
| Thank God.
- This is not a place for swords.
| - What kind of place is it? [ Sheaths Sword .]
| A repository of the truth.
Sister.
truly your faith | has led you here.
Oh, this- this is worth all your suffering.
Now his story is complete.
- His story? | - Our Christ's history on earth.
| written by his apostles- letters from Paul to the Corinthians.
to the Ephesians.
even those to the Romans- all here.
| [ Yelps .]
Not a single hello? | [ Guards Shouting .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Groans .]
After all this time.
[ Yelps .]
[ Grunts .]
This place reeks of hell.
[ Bones Cracking .]
| [ Gasping .]
[ Knife Clatters .]
You will leave no more victims.
Catlin.
your eyes.
I can see your face.
It is the hand of Christ.
- This? | - Yes- a letter from him to his brotherJames.
written in our Lord's own hand.
Blasphemy! | This place will burn! [ Yelps .]
Read it.
please.
| No.
It's your faith that brought it here.
"Beloved brother.
"my time now is short.
"Though I have yet | to complete my work here, "I know that it is not in vain.
"for I have you | and many others to carry on.
"In days to come.
there will be those | who attempt to twist the truth "for their own gain.
"But have faith.
| for there is no greater truth than the one that lives in you.
'" Oh.
they're perfect.
Whatever's inside you.
there's no need to keep it from me ever again.
I think you know my heart.
The mystery is in yours.

| - Hang on.
Daniel.
| We're going to get you back to the sanctuary.
The tower.

What do you mean? | What rock tower? Daniel.

Don't let the Romans change the truth.

| Yes.
Yes.
Except- | What? you have to do something for me first.
[ Breathing Heavily .]
| Oh.
What? - Strike while the iron is hot.
| - Mmm.
It is.
It is! I need you to do me a favor.
| Anything.
When Pasolinus finds what he's looking for.
| I want you to get it and bring it to me.
Well.
that's impossible.
| He'd never allow it.
| He won't be around to protest.
He's my commanding officer.
I know who commands you.
| [ Gasps.
Sighs .]
I can give you more | than Pasolinus ever can.
Get me what he's after.
and you and I will deliver it | to the emperor personally.
But first you have to kill him.
[ Sighs .]
| Will you do that for me? Yes.
And that little animal of his? | I'll kill him too.
Then you're my protector.
[ Sighs.
Giggles .]
[ Both Sighing, Moaning .]
[ Imitating Bird Call .]
[ Gasps .]
Anturus? Oh, God.
! You killed Anturus.
| You killed him! | Catlin! I found him like that! Thought you'd never betray me.
| I haven't.
What are you doing with this? Anturus was a good man.
| He sacrificed his life | just like Daniel.
For what? | What is this about.
Catlin? Saving the truth | from those who'd bury it.
And no one will stop us- | no one.
I've been trying to protect you.
| Don't you see that? [ Pasolinus .]
| I'm afraid it's too late.
I want them alive.
| Circle them.
Don't let them get away.
[ Guard .]
| Get in there now.
Get in there.
This way! | Over here! Other way around.
! Foolish as flies.
[ Shouting.
Groaning .]
[ Grunts.
Gurgling .]
Longinus.
An eye for an eye.
Your Eminence.
Only the bravest could see the true heart | hidden deep inside the wicked beast.
For only those- | Fergus! They've taken Conor- | Conor and Catlin.
What? | The Romans- | They've taken them.
I'll kill you for this! | Not from there you won't.
Where are the contents? | You have them.
Where are the contents? | I don't understand.
You see how she betrays you? - She serves another.
| - It's not true.
Where are the contents? Eminence! I came as soon as I heard.
| You had a spy in your ranks.
| I consider the betrayal yours.
I beg forgiveness.
| I- I was ignorant.
The most unforgivable sin of all.
There will be a full inquiry | into the attempt on my life.
| Eminence.
on my honor- Honor? Yours? Dirt.
The scroll is gone.
| They gave us nothing.
I will help as I can.
Eminence.
| You may help yourself | to a narrow grave.
Diana Metellus.
[ Gate Creaks, Slams Shut .]
Now.
where are the contents? I'll die before I tell you anything.
That's simply not true.
I know where the scroll is.
| I hid it.
She doesn't know anything.
- You did this? | - [ Pasolinus .]
Where? I'll have to take you to it.
| It's in a secret place.
| You'll never find it without me.
Is that so? Hurting you would be unproductive.
- Where is the scroll? | - Don't tell him.
Conor.
Please.
- Where? | - I'll have to take you to it.
I swear.
- To God? | - [ Catlin Gasps .]
- [ Screams .]
| - No! [ Needle Piercing Flesh .]
- [ Sobbing .]
| - Where are the contents? [ Strains .]
- [ Needle Piercing .]
| - No! [ Conor Shouting In Distance .]
| No.
! Why does Pasolinus think I'm involved? | What did you say to him last night? - You're accusing me of betrayal? | - What did you say? I said that everything | I did in this life I did for you- that my faith in your love | knew no bounds.
- Did I speak out of turn? | - Not jealousy.
Longinus.
Please.
I only had one thing | to offer that man, | and it wasn't love, and I can't believe | you're threatened by that.
In spite of appearances.
| I'm still human.
They haven't made | a saint of me yet.
| [ Thunder Rumbling .]
- Yet? | - Pasolinus knows who I am now.
In exchange for my story.
| he's promised to mark me down | as a man of grace- a saint.
If you can't change history, | at least you can rewrite it.
Well.
isn't that nice.
- But what about me? | What about my place in history? | - What do you mean? - For all your suffering.
I never abandoned you.
| - Diana.
I didn't- When nobody loved you.
I did.
| And is this how you repay me for my generosity? - I've had 400 years of- | - I'm sick of your self-pity! - Leave! | - [ Thunderclap .]
I'll find out what that bastard's | looking for without you.
All human history reduced to "me.
'' "my.
'' "mine.
'' Leave.
[ Groaning Softly .]
What have they done to me? | I can just see shadows.
What have they done? | It's going to be all right, Cat.
| Try to rest.
Jesus.
give me strength.
-Jesus.
give me strength.
| - The Roman god? You believe in him? He's my Savior.
Well.
I hope he can save us now.
What is it? Daniel and Anturus and myself- many people- | [ Sniffles .]
were working to keep the Romans | from burying the truth.
That scroll has to get to the rock tower.
It has to.
in Jesus' name.
Why did you hide | your beliefs from us? I was afraid you wouldn't accept me.
| We love you.
I wish I could see your face.
Forgive me.
There's nothing to forgive.
[ Man .]
| That's right.
- Tie it off.
| - [ Hammering .]
Eminence.
if you kill this prince.
| his people will rise up against me.
I beg you not to make him a martyr.
| I think there might be some- | [ Yelps .]
[ Guard #1 .]
Yes, sir.
| [ Guard #2 .]
| A little more.
[ Guard .]
| Get down.
[ Fergus .]
| Roman pig-dogs.
! Bloated pieces of goat dung.
! Come and get your precious goods.
| I have your scroll.
[ Guard #1 .]
| You men, over here.
! | [ Guard #2 .]
Yes, sir.
Stop.
! Stand fast.
! Free Catlin and get us horses.
Do it.
or your freak dies! | [ Whimpering .]
- Catlin.
get on the horse.
| - [ Conor .]
She can't see, Fergus.
Help her.
Sweet Bridget.
| Just hold on.
lass.
| The horse'll follow.
Conor.
! [ Conor.]
| Hyah! Hyah.
hyah.
hyah! [ Shouting .]
Whoa.
whoa.
| Fergus.
give me the scroll.
I had a plan all worked out.
you know.
| Good.
'cause I'm counting on you | to hold them off.
Like I said.
I have it all worked out.
| [ Chuckles .]
Catlin.
[ Guard .]
| There they are.
! [ Fergus .]
| Come and get it, boys.
! | Hyah! [ Pasolinus .]
| After them! Split up.
Get us horses.
There's nothing down there.
| The rock tower- - It's there.
I know it.
| - Catlin, there's nothing.
- A valley.
but no tower.
| - It's there.
Cat! | I want you to get on my horse.
Come on.
Go north.
We've been all over, Catlin.
| It's not here.
We're at the end of the valley.
Conor.
no.
| Catlin! Pasolinus is on our heels.
| It's here.
Can you see it? Catlin.
wait.
You're here.
| Thank God.
- This is not a place for swords.
| - What kind of place is it? [ Sheaths Sword .]
| A repository of the truth.
Sister.
truly your faith | has led you here.
Oh, this- this is worth all your suffering.
Now his story is complete.
- His story? | - Our Christ's history on earth.
| written by his apostles- letters from Paul to the Corinthians.
to the Ephesians.
even those to the Romans- all here.
| [ Yelps .]
Not a single hello? | [ Guards Shouting .]
[ Grunting.
Groaning .]
[ Groans .]
After all this time.
[ Yelps .]
[ Grunts .]
This place reeks of hell.
[ Bones Cracking .]
| [ Gasping .]
[ Knife Clatters .]
You will leave no more victims.
Catlin.
your eyes.
I can see your face.
It is the hand of Christ.
- This? | - Yes- a letter from him to his brotherJames.
written in our Lord's own hand.
Blasphemy! | This place will burn! [ Yelps .]
Read it.
please.
| No.
It's your faith that brought it here.
"Beloved brother.
"my time now is short.
"Though I have yet | to complete my work here, "I know that it is not in vain.
"for I have you | and many others to carry on.
"In days to come.
there will be those | who attempt to twist the truth "for their own gain.
"But have faith.
| for there is no greater truth than the one that lives in you.
'" Oh.
they're perfect.
Whatever's inside you.
there's no need to keep it from me ever again.
I think you know my heart.
The mystery is in yours.
