currency worth more than gold

00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,I'll start with a question.

00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:25,Can people change?

00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:28,Can they rise above their nature?

00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:34,Life has taught me we emerge through
fire.

00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,We transform through suffering.

00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:42,Let me tell you my story.

00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:55,You are Eshbaal, Prince of Israel,
banished to Andorra by his own family.

00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:57,Yes?

00:01:57,790 --> 00:01:58,Yes.

00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:01,Good.

00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:09,Are you coming?

00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,If you plan to ransom me, I have
disappointing news.

00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,I hold no value in my father's eyes.

00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:49,Perhaps I see much more than he does.

00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,Come, my friend.

00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,We have no need for conflict.

00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:59,I ** no friend of yours or your gods.

00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,You will learn in time.

00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:19,Do as you are told, and I'll spell you
to whip.

00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:24,It's not a trick.

00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:27,Have your fill.

00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,Tell me, Prince, have you ever seen an
elephant?

00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,What do you want of me?

00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:53,Enormous, powerful creatures, but easy
to tame.

00:03:54,580 --> 00:03:59,When they are young, you simply have to
tie them to a pole by a rope.

00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:04,No matter how much they try, they cannot
break their restraints.

00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,They resist the vile.

00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,But in time, they give up.

00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,Once grown, massive beasts can be tied
to the same pole by a simple

00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:22,string.

00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:29,Because it thinks of itself what it has
been taught to believe.

00:04:31,460 --> 00:04:37,Power begins in the mind, not the body.

00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:42,What do you want of me?

00:04:43,630 --> 00:04:47,You will suffer until you understand who
you really are.

00:05:19,210 --> 00:05:23,Remove his bindings. He's of no threat
anymore.

00:05:30,970 --> 00:05:32,Sit down.

00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:40,Drink.

00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,you throw me mercy now.

00:06:07,260 --> 00:06:13,Like the elephant, Ishbal, you ceased
resisting a robe

00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:15,that held you back.

00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:23,You became compliant, allowing lesser
men to choose your

00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:24,fate.

00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:31,But now, it's time for you to

00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,decide your path.

00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,To decide for yourself.

00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,I ** loyal to the house of my father,
Saul, son of Kish, servant to none.

00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:53,I didn't break, father.

00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:56,I killed my captors.

00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,Freed the other prisoners.

00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:01,And together we escaped.

00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:09,I passed through the fire, father.

00:07:11,530 --> 00:07:13,Do I not seem different to you?

00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:17,A man proves his substance by what he
does, not what he says.

00:07:19,610 --> 00:07:21,Then allow me to earn your trust.

00:07:22,910 --> 00:07:23,With honesty.

00:07:26,010 --> 00:07:28,Before you returned in triumph, I was
crowned king.

00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:30,By mother.

00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:32,We believed you had been defeated and
killed.

00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:36,That someone had to step up and lead
what was left of our people, and so I

00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:38,You took your opportunity.

00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:42,To protect my queen and your legacy. And
yet neither of you spoke a word of it

00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:43,until now.

00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,You think I didn't hear whispers about
your coronation?

00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:54,There are no secrets that time does not
betray, Shabal.

00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,Mother would have told you in time.

00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,But I ** telling you now, I have made
more mistakes in my life than I care to

00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:11,admit. But I promise you, I wish to
redeem them all.

00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,How so?

00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:22,The woman I defiled and was banished
for, I will marry her in

00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,accordance with the law of Moses.

00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,Ease the burden on our family and the
kingdom.

00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:29,All for your glory.

00:08:31,310 --> 00:08:32,My king.

00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:53,David.

00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:55,David.

00:09:01,111 --> 00:09:04,I don't know why he would do that.

00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:06,My father, he's just... Shh, I know.

00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:09,I don't know what to do now.

00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:11,I know, but we cannot give up.

00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:18,What are you reading?

00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:20,The story of Joseph.

00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:22,It's my favorite.

00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:26,Would you read it to me? Yes.

00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,And Joseph said to them, Do not be
afraid.

00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,** I in the place of God?

00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,You intended to harm me, but the Lord
used it for good.

00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:48,To accomplish what is now being done.

00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,It's beautiful.

00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,These words, they give me hope.

00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:00,Hope.

00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:03,It would be a welcome gift right now.

00:10:03,481 --> 00:10:05,Have you spoken to my husband?

00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:06,Not yet.

00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,I need to speak with my father.

00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,But I know all too well how that will
go.

00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:14,Then let me speak to him.

00:10:15,940 --> 00:10:19,You don't know him like I do, David.
He's stubborn.

00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,He doesn't listen.

00:10:24,420 --> 00:10:26,Why is this so difficult?

00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,We will find a way.

00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:33,It's like the world has conspired to
hold us back.

00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:37,It's constantly pushing us against the
current.

00:10:39,130 --> 00:10:41,Well, then we will keep swimming.

00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:46,Or better yet, we will change the course
of the river altogether.

00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:51,Michal, the Lord helped me to see the
giant.

00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:54,I'm sure he will help me speak to your
father.

00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:58,Oh, my father.

00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:01,He will not fall so easily.

00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,What's worse, Abner?

00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:08,Samuel has escaped the city. He must
have had help to get beyond the walls.

00:11:08,860 --> 00:11:10,We held Samuel captive.

00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:11,To help him.

00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,Remember the former days, yes.

00:11:14,660 --> 00:11:16,I have scouts searching for him.

00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:21,Anything more overt could have
consequences. The people revere him, as

00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:25,That old snake was slithered into the
grass, and by this time... Surely he'll

00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:28,show up at the tabernacle. And there he
will kiss my ring.

00:11:29,370 --> 00:11:30,And if he refuses?

00:11:31,210 --> 00:11:34,No. You cannot harm Samuel, father.

00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:36,People would rise up.

00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:38,My king....
