---

- to walk?

We should go.

I apologize.

These people are like animals.

What have you

- done to him?

How could you?

You are the animals.

Peter?

- Go. Fetch me clean water.

Are you deaf?

Go and fetch me clean water.

Now.

Go on.

Are you all right?

Get out.

- Haven't you done

- enough damage?

Now you wish to stay

and gloat?

I don't want you anywhere

near him.

- Put down the lantern

- and leave.

My name is Susanna.

I'm a servant

to the wife of the Emperor.

- I have been sent

- to tend to your wounds.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This rabbi you follow,

what was he like?

My children.

- I shall only be with you

- a little while longer,

For where I am going,

you cannot follow.

But afterwards,

you will follow me again.

All of you will be made

to stumble this night

because of me.

For it is written,

"I shall strike the shepherd,

shall be scattered."

and his sheep

But when I have risen,

I will go before you

to Galilee.

Even if all others are made

to stumble because of you,

I will never be made

to stumble.

My Peter, I say this to you,

that today, even this night,

before the rooster crows,

you will deny me three times.

If I have to die with you,

I will not deny you.

You also were with

Jesus of Galilee.

- I don't know

- what you're talking about.

What could you

- have done?

You were all alone.

I could've done better.

I should've done better.

I do not understand.

This Peter is a criminal.

You are wrong.

He is a good man,

a holy man who carries

the message of the teacher,

Jesus of Nazareth.

He has committed no crime.

- You should not

- treat him that way.

I am a soldier of Rome

on orders from the Emperor.

And besides,

what of those who died

or were burned out?

These Christians

are criminals,

and it is my duty

to bring them to justice.

Justice?

What about the Christians

who died in the fires?

Why would Peter do that?

Why was he arrested?

Have you even asked yourself

that question?

"A soldier of Rome."

- You should be ashamed

- of yourself.

Husband, here's the girl

to make her report.

Ah! Susanna.

Do you like the harp?

Yes, you play beautifully,

Honor.

- Perhaps I can

- give you some lessons.

Husband, Susanna must leave

for the prison

to tend to Peter.

Yes, she's tending

to my instructions.

But right now,

I need to deal with Theodus,

- who has been waiting

- very patiently.

So what of the Council?

Honor, there...

There is much talk

at the Council.

Isn't that what councils do?

Talk about what?

Perhaps it would be better

in private.

To discuss these matters

Perhaps it would be

- not to keep me waiting.

- Better for you

Of course.

Honor,
