00:18 You are all condemned men
00:37 Let your mind be at peace
00:35 Why are you here
00:23 You sent for me
00:26 Look to the West
00:24 What has he done
00:26 If I cannot persuade them
00:18 In the Year of our Lord
00:15 Your eyes are full of hate
00:13 You can break a man's skull
00:57 Why did you save me
00:15 In his eagerness to save you
00:27 It was Judah Ben Hur I loved
00:33 Almost at the moment He died
00:16 By what magic do you bear the name of a Consul of Rome
00:10 May God grant me vengeance
00:22 If I were not a bride
00:29 Balthasar is a good man
00:20 You ask how to fight an idea
00:42 And he will come
00:21 When the Romans were marching me to the galleys
00:16 Why did he do that
00:14 That I can understand
00:13 Was the food not to your liking Indeed
00:50 He gave me water
00:07 By condemning without hesitation an old friend
00:33 I must deal with Messala in my own way
00:28 And yet why is it
00:08 I have lived too long
00:18 Moonhead Give me those reins you fool
00:46 You're not watching the soldiers
01:02 How can this be
01:09 Where are my mother and sister
00:40 Would you be from Nazareth
00:44 Why did you tell me they were dead
00:13 I have counted eight
00:12 There's a wild man in the desert named John
00:16 The world is more than we know
00:33 This man riding beside you
00:36 With the compliments of Quintus Arrius
01:02 How long since you've seen them
00:39 Battle speed
00:22 Either you help me or you oppose me
00:54 There's a Jew outside
00:23 You've come back to us like a returning faith
00:24 As a boy I dreamed of commanding this garrison
01:14 What has become of my mother and my sister
00:54 I talked to a number of people already
00:14 A grown man knows the world he lives in
00:17 The courtyard where we used to play at changing the guard
00:10 Thank you Thank you
00:10 Is there a way down here
00:05 No water for him
00:21 No it was fate that chose us to civilize the world And we...
00:39 It's a strange destiny that brought me to a new life
00:19 It's a terrible prospect I am to be made governor
00:08 Whoever the gods are they take small interest in an old...
00:14 God forgive me for seeking vengeance but my path is set
00:42 My people are praying for a man
00:15 You know nothing of horses
00:15 It's a Roman world
00:16 Persuade your people that their resistance to Rome is stupid
00:23 There is Malluch
00:09 The stone that fell from this roof so long ago is still...
00:04 Lepers
00:14 I thought they'd never love another as they love me
00:15 You are the people's one true god
00:21 Yet you drove in the great circus
00:04 Simonides
00:21 41, why did he do that?
00:11 A great victory.
00:09 A strange darkness...
00:08 A Team Nanban (594mgnav) Release
00:10 A thousand talents?
00:09 All right, on your feet, all of you!
00:17 Almost at the moment he died...
00:07 And I felt his voice take
the sword out of my hand.
00:20 And now,
the question you're all asking yourselves:
00:10 And if you should find?
00:23 ARRIUS:
Is the sail square?
00:16 As though he were carrying
in that cross...
00:06 Attack speed.
00:07 ATTENDANT:
Look for the yoke.
00:09 ATTENDANT:
