- 7:50Idols for strength. Idols for fertility.
- 7:54Idols for beauty.
- 7:57I can see that you definitely don't need
- 8:00an idol for beauty. The idol needs you.
- 8:07Thank you.
- 8:08>> But for fertility, you want to bear a
- 8:11son, don't you? With this, you can bear
- 8:14triplets.

- 8:28You look like you.
- 8:34>> Which way were you going? [sighs]
- 8:58Give your coins for me.
- 9:10The idols see all.
- 9:16The idols know all.
- 9:24>> Spray not into the desert sands, lest
- 9:27the harsh flames of wrath consume you.
- 9:30Come, enter, prove your faith with
- 9:34wealth and gifts.
- 9:37Appease the idol's anger
- 9:40or else.
- 9:48>> Come, boy. Come. You wish to be free of
- 9:52your nightmares, don't you? No.
- 9:57>> Take that coin from your [music] pocket.
- 10:05>> No offering too small,
- 10:09no wish too big.

- 11:19>> Where would we find a deer?
- 11:31>> What? What are you doing?
- 11:35[laughter]
- 11:36>> Saf one.
- 11:41>> There's a deer.
- 11:44A black one.
- 11:47Over
- 11:49here, slave.
- 11:53I said come here. Stop, slave. I command
- 11:58you.
- 12:08>> The deer thinks it's a lion.
- 12:10>> Yeah, you better watch out.
- 12:13>> You better watch out.
- 12:15>> I was just kidding. Shut up now. Get
- 12:18her. [laughter]

- 12:39>> No.
- 12:44>> [screaming]
- 12:48[laughter]
- 12:50>> So, it looks like you got your deer in
- 12:53his tail.
- 12:59>> You will not palm her.
- 13:00>> How dare you give me an order? Teach
- 13:03this rat a lesson.
- 13:23>> [screaming]
- 13:25[laughter]
- 13:39>> Okay.
- 13:42>> [music]
- 13:54>> Please forgive him. [music] Master Son,
- 14:03>> hey, what are you boys doing?
- 14:07Oh, I I I didn't I didn't know it was
- 14:10you, young masters of one. Apologies.
- 14:13Are these slaves bothering you? I'll
- 14:16trash them if they are.
- 14:21>> Come on, let's go.
- 14:23>> Tell your father I'll deliver his order
- 14:25today.
- 14:28>> Kufra,
- 14:30did they hurt you? [snorts]
- 14:33I should have been here to protect you.
- 14:36I will never let anyone hurt you ever
- 14:38again. [snorts]
- 14:46>> Step four, be gentle. Make your offer
- 14:50and this prime special shall be yours.
- 14:53>> Do I hear a second on that?
- 14:55>> Third sold.
- 14:58Get this wretched out of here. Bring up
- 15:00the next one.
- 15:07This is the finest slave in my
- 15:10possession. He's clever. He reads and
- 15:14writes. He speaks 20 languages. 20, I
- 15:19say. [laughter] Oh, he even speaks to
- 15:24animals.
- 15:26Oh, great.
- 15:28You can't ask for a better servant on
- 15:30your trading missions. Oh, no.
- 15:35That one is not quite as clever, but he
- 15:38is as strong as an ax.
- 15:43>> Oh,
- 15:45I'll take him.
- 15:46>> You will?
- 15:48I I I mean, excellent choice, sir. He's
- 15:52a bit expensive, but I know the gods
- 15:54have been generous to you, my dearest.
- 15:59Oh, my
- 16:03Okba, one of these days I'm going to dip
- 16:06your tongue in a bowl of dry sand.
- 16:09Have him delivered.
- 16:16Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Take
- 16:18it.
- 16:22Gracious. Magnificent.
- 16:28Hey,
- 16:30>> your honor, I have the idols you
- 16:33ordered. Should I bring them to your
- 16:35home or to the shop in the market? What
- 16:37do you think?
- 16:42>> The market, you idiot. And the next time
- 16:45you are late, I won't pay
- 16:48>> a thousand pardons. It won't happen
- 16:51again. I was delayed. I I had to come to
- 16:54the aid of your son, Safwan.
- 16:58What about Safwan?
- 16:59>> He was being assaulted by a slave boy.
- 17:02>> Which slave?
- 17:03>> They called him Bilal. He he he had your
- 17:06son on the ground. But I I pulled him
- 17:08off. Saved him from a thrashing.
- 17:10>> Enough.
- 17:12>> Take these idols to my stall at once or
- 17:14forget the deal.
- 17:15>> Yes, sir.
- 17:16>> Of course. Right away.
- 17:22Bilal.
- 17:36Pick it up.
- 17:39I said pick it up.
- 17:59>> [screaming]
- 18:02>> Whose apple is this? Whose is it?
- 18:05>> Yours. Yours.
- 18:06>> And what is the difference between you
- 18:09and this apple?
- 18:11>> No difference, sir. [snorts]
- 18:18>> Don't you forget it again.
- 18:21Take him out to the courtyard
- 18:24and whip him.
- 18:34>> No matter what you do,
- 18:38a master breeds a master, and a slave
- 18:43breeds a slave.
- 18:52Father, I hope you're going to teach him
- 18:55a lesson. He'll never
- 18:56>> How could you let a slave beat you?
- 19:01>> Pilow's lying, father. The slave, he's
- 19:03lying. He did not beat.
- 19:05>> You made me look like a fool.
- 19:10>> Stop it. [laughter]
- 19:12Stop it, I say. Listen.
- 19:20He isn't crying. You shouldn't be crying
- 19:23either.
- 19:25>> I don't care what happened. Don't ever
- 19:28let a slave embarrass me in public
- 19:30again.
- 20:11>> [gasps]
- 20:16[sighs]
- 20:52>> Mother, what kind of man was my father?
- 20:57>> Your father was a great man. What do you
- 21:00want to be when you grow up?
- 21:01>> Bilal,
- 21:03>> a farmer
- 21:05or maybe a merchant that makes a lot of
- 21:07money?
- 21:08>> I want to be a great warrior.
- 21:13And that's what you will be. A great
- 21:16warrior
- 21:18>> with a beautiful voice.
- 21:20>> And I want to ride on a big horse. And I
- 21:23will fight enemies and [music] protect
- 21:25you and Guara.
- 21:27>> That's very honorable, Bilal. But
- 21:30remember, a sword and a horse cannot
- 21:34[music] make you a great man.
- 21:36>> They can't.
- 21:37>> No. Being a great man means living
- 21:40without chains. Huh?
- 21:44Chains?
- 21:45>> No. No. The ones you can't see. The ones
- 21:50in here. Inside me.
- 21:53>> Mhm.
- 21:56Being a warrior won't make you a great
- 21:59man if you are chained to anger and
- 22:03vengeance.
- 22:05Superstition and [music] fear are chains
- 22:07too. And there are others.
- 22:11To be a great man,
- 22:15you have to break free of them all.
- 22:17>> But how do I do that? I can't see inside
- 22:20me.
- 22:21>> I can.
- 22:23And I see the heart of a great man,
- 22:26Bilal.
- 22:27You'll find the way. Guidance will come.
- 22:31You'll see.
- 22:34No chains will hold you.
- 22:37No, James,
- 22:44>> you were wrong. Mother, I am a slave and
- 22:49I will always be in chains.
- 23:04Why did they have to whip you? You
- 23:06didn't do anything.
- 23:08>> It does not matter. Master Umay can do
- 23:10whatever he wants with us. pillow.
- 23:26Look at what I found.
- 23:28I know you didn't mean to lose this. You
- 23:31can still use it to make an offering. I
- 23:34heard the priest say big blessings can
- 23:36come from small gifts.
- 23:37>> I don't need it.
- 23:40I'm never going to hope for anything
- 23:41again.
- 23:43I am a slave and no god in the market
- 23:45has the power to change that.
- 23:49>> All right, I'll keep it and I won't
- 23:52spend it either. It's yours. I'll keep
- 23:55[music] it safe for you until you ask
- 23:57for it back.
- 24:31>> [snorts]
- 25:21>> No.
- 25:27No.
- 25:30No. Very
- 25:35funny.
- 26:11Huh?
- 26:19Okay.
- 26:24>> [snorts]
- 26:39>> No.
- 26:44[screaming]
- 26:49Yeah.
- 26:59Yeah.
- 27:06Yeah.
- 27:21>> [music]
- 27:22>> Yeah.
- 27:29[music]
- 27:32Yeah.
- 27:53Come on.
- 27:58[laughter]
- 28:03>> The way you fly off that horse amazes me
- 28:06every single time. It never gets old.
- 28:11It's only been twice
- 28:14[laughter]
- 28:15>> today.
- 28:23I on the other hand
- 28:27never miss.
- 28:28>> You just love to show off, don't you,
- 28:30Sad? Besides, you have all the time and
- 28:33money to practice.
- 28:36>> You need more than money to be the best
- 28:37at what you do. You need a great deal of
- 28:40determination.
- 28:41>> Huh? Right. So, your determination is to
- 28:45hunt fruit. I have to get back. Believe
- 28:48me, you do not want to upset Master
- 28:51[music] Umaya.
- 28:55>> Tell me something, Bal. Why don't you
- 28:57just start riding and keep on going
- 29:00across those dunes to wherever they may
- 29:02lead
- 29:03>> and find my palace?
- 29:06More likely I'd find it only to end up
- 29:09working in it. See you later, apple
- 29:11hunter.
- 29:23>> Here your troubles. Till next time, my
- 29:27friend.
- 29:50Please, just a little bit of coins.
- 29:54Just a little food. Some coins, please.
- 29:59Please. Some coins. Out of the way,
- 30:01child.
- 30:03>> Please, I have no food.
- 30:28>> [crying]
- 30:44>> No,
- 30:50>> you do not want to do that.
- 31:00But I'm so hungry.
- 31:03Here,
- 31:05take this.
- 31:12>> You're so kind.
- 31:28You would rather pay from your own
- 31:29pocket than to see this god lose its
- 31:32wealth.
- 31:32>> I wanted to spare the boy a beating.
- 31:36>> Ah, then you care more for a beggar boy
- 31:39than an idol?
- 31:41>> Don't you believe the promises of the
- 31:43priests?
- 31:46>> My apologies, sir. I am just a slave and
- 31:49know no better.
- 31:50>> Don't you?
- 31:55>> Or do you?
- 31:57>> You're no priest. You're the lord of
- 32:01merchants.
- 32:03Als
- 32:07kneeling because you thought I was a
- 32:08priest.
- 32:10Or was it my question that frightened
- 32:12you?
- 32:14>> Get up, son. Do not be afraid.
- 32:18No sir, I am not frightened.
- 32:22>> You seem amused, your honor. What do you
- 32:26know about fear? I have seen enough of
- 32:29it in the eyes of the people.
- 32:32Enough to understand what makes slaves
- 32:34of the many.
- 32:38A woman is afraid she will bear a girl.
- 32:41She pays an offering and begs the idols
- 32:43to fix it.
- 32:45A rich man fears poverty. He shares a
- 32:49little of his money with the gods and
- 32:51promises more if they help him stay
- 32:53wealthy.
- 32:55An old man fears death. So, he pays a
- 32:58priest for deliverance.
- 33:03This fear compels them to seek refuge in
- 33:05these gods.
- 33:09Gods of greed, of injustice,
- 33:12with hope that all of their problems
- 33:14will go away. Surely, this sacred
- 33:17structure was not built to house all of
- 33:19this corruption. It was built so that
- 33:22all mankind could stand together as
- 33:25equals and follow the one creator,
- 33:29except for slaves. Son, no one is born a
- 33:32slave. You were free once, were you not?
- 33:38I was
- 33:40once.
- 33:42A long time ago.
- 33:44Devils raided my village,
- 33:47destroyed my home. They took me and
- 33:51Guara, my sister.
- 33:55What about Yora?
- 33:57She still talks to me.
- 34:00Sir, all this talk of equality is
- 34:05wishful thinking. It holds no [music]
- 34:07meaning to me. So save your speech for a
- 34:10man who can afford this thing you are
- 34:14selling.
- 34:14>> Young man, life is more generous than
- 34:17you may think. I am not here to sell
- 34:20anything.
- 34:20>> It may be, sir, but not for slaves.
- 34:25My master is [music] expecting this.
- 34:28I must return.
- 34:30>> Whom do you serve?
- 34:31>> Master Umaya, the greatest man in the
- 34:34city.
- 34:35>> And what is your name, son?
- 34:37>> Bilal.
- 34:38>> Bilal.
- 34:40I saw greatness in the hand that [music]
- 34:41saved that boy today. And remember,
- 34:45great men are those who have the will to
- 34:47choose their own destiny.
- 35:03Hurry up
- 35:05right now.
- 35:15What are you doing?
- 35:35[groaning]
- 35:39[screaming]
- 35:47Good job, sir.
- 35:52Sir, Master Suffer. Master Suffer.
- 35:59Master Suffer. Your father summoned you.
- 36:05[panting]
- 36:10How many times do I have to remind you
- 36:13kneel when you come before me slave
- 36:17kneel
- 36:25are born to rule others to serve.
- 36:38You do not look good on your knees,
- 36:40brother. Get up, my friend. You need to
- 36:43see what I got for the feast tonight.
- 36:45You will love it.
- 36:57Where is he?
- 37:04>> You are late.
- 37:06>> You remember my sister Gufra?
- 37:09>> My lady, I am so hib, first rate slave
- 37:14and blacksmith. Extraordinire.
- 37:17>> Yes, a funny man.
- 37:19>> Where were you? It's almost time for the
- 37:21feast. They will whip you if you are
- 37:24late.
- 37:25>> No way. The master told [music] me to
- 37:27fetch safan.
- 37:31>> Did he harm you?
- 37:35>> I would have turned this Safwan into a
- 37:38sack of potatoes if I had only gotten
- 37:40there sooner. That's princess. He and
- 37:43that little goon who follows him. You
- 37:46must remain strong, Bilal. They are only
- 37:49as strong as [music] the fear they put
- 37:51inside of us. We must never give in.
- 37:55>> All right, back to work.
- 37:57>> Behold, special delivery to your master
- 38:01from my master.
- 38:04>> That's very shiny.
- 38:06>> Nice work. So high.
- 38:09>> Yes, it's my finest one yet.
- 38:18That is delightful. This al Sadik, I
- 38:21cannot believe this man goes about this
- 38:24speaking against the gods every day.
- 38:27Every day. How many following? I do not
- 38:30believe.
- 38:34>> You leave too much [music] exposed. You
- 38:37rely too much on luck.
- 38:42>> Luck favors the bold. Perhaps.
- 38:46>> But are you willing to risk it in the
- 38:47real world?
- 38:49>> You ask as if you don't know me.
- 38:51>> I ask because I see a threat looming.
- 38:55>> You are truly obsessed with this
- 38:57nonsense.
- 38:58>> This nonsense can strike you where you
- 39:00stand. Um, let's make an example out of
- 39:03them. A reminder to those who dare stand
- 39:06against us.
- 39:07>> After all,
- 39:09>> we have a business to take care of.
- 39:13>> Abal, hack him. As always, you have
- 39:15managed to ruin my evening with your
- 39:17concerns.
- 39:19>> Bilal, come sing for us. Let's lighten
- 39:23the mood.
- 39:24>> Ah, yes. I have heard my speaking of
- 39:28this one's voice. Let's hear it.

- 39:38shadows,
- 39:42mountains and trees,

- 40:14Here I stand
- 40:18as she shers me.
- 40:24Distant shadows

- 40:34They draw so near
- 40:39the shadows.
- 40:44Why are they so close?
- 40:49As the sky
- 40:52sends down,

- 43:30>> Ah, nothing.

- 44:56>> Look, it's him.
- 44:57>> It's the lion.
- 44:59>> It is Hamza.
- 45:00>> Oh my god, it's the lion.
- 45:03>> Hamza, you've arrived just in time. Look
- 45:06at these dogs. These sinners. They must
- 45:09be disciplined. And so does [groaning]
- 45:16And so does who, coward?
- 45:18>> You call yourselves men. You're a
- 45:21disgrace to Makka and to your
- 45:23forefathers. Since when were these
- 45:25waters not free for all? And know this,
- 45:29I only see God through the actions of
- 45:31men.
- 45:35Your savagery today uncovered the true
- 45:37color of your belief. So fight me or get
- 45:41out of my sight.
- 45:45>> Hamza,
- 45:46>> bless you, my dear.
- 45:47>> Bless you. Thank you.
- 45:54>> You arrived just in time, old friend.
- 45:57>> Al Sadik, it has been too long. Come, we
- 46:01have much to talk about.
- 46:02>> Come on, Beloved. Help me get him up. My
- 46:05people, take as much as you need from
- 46:07the Zamzam West. No soldier will stop
- 46:10you.
- 46:25>> Do you believe change will come even for
- 46:28us?
- 46:32>> Maybe.
- 46:35Mother believed so.
- 46:40Why are you asking?
- 46:45>> Filal,
- 46:51this morning
- 46:54I went to see him again.
- 47:10And who could this be? There are no
- 47:13young thieves to save out here. Sir,
- 47:17what did you mean before that we choose?
- 47:22Are you offering to buy me?
- 47:27>> Would you like me to? Well, you seem
- 47:30like a better master than the one I
- 47:32serve now. Believe it or not, Bilau,
- 47:35your master is a slave himself.
- 47:38>> Really? And who is [music] his master?
- 47:43Greed. The worst of them all. Are you
- 47:47saying that no one is ever free?
- 47:50>> I am not. Then how will I ever be free?
- 47:59Only you can enslave yourself, Balo.
- 48:03>> I I apologize. I just I've never been
- 48:07treated with such kindness before, and I
- 48:09I still I don't understand why a noble
- 48:14like you would want to help someone like
- 48:17me. Is there something you expect me to
- 48:20do in return? You see, Bal, this man
- 48:23once guided me when I was truly lost. a
- 48:26great and noble man who spreads the
- 48:29message of equality.
- 48:31I have chosen to do the same. So here we
- 48:34stand. And who knows, Bal, perhaps one
- 48:38day you will inspire the hearts of many
- 48:40as well.
- 48:41>> Me? How can I do that?
- 48:44>> Come sit. You sought me out to talk to
- 48:48me, didn't you? Let's talk.
- 48:57So, our mother was right.
- 49:02>> Yes,
- 49:03she was.
- 49:05>> It always seemed that way. She was
- 49:07always so very wise.
- 49:20>> A toast to my son Safwan. He had the
- 49:23business sense to make a killing on
- 49:24those little idols.
- 49:28>> Now he can afford to host his first
- 49:30feast.
- 49:33[cheering]
- 49:38[singing]
- 49:38>> Are you still sulking because you passed
- 49:40up a good deal? I told you these
- 49:43portable idols would sell.
- 49:46>> It may be the last money any of us ever
- 49:49make.
- 49:50What are you talking about? There's a
- 49:52fortune in these little idols. Should
- 49:54have heard the priests hawking them
- 49:56today in the market.
- 49:58>> You were not there later. There was a
- 50:01dispute and the people listened.
- 50:04>> A dispute.
- 50:10Who created this dispute?
- 50:13>> Wolves from the new movement. Their
- 50:16reputation is spreading like wildfire
- 50:19across the city.
- 50:20>> Oh, not this business again. If you tell
- 50:22me there's an army coming, I'll worry.
- 50:24>> What about their talk of freedom? Do you
- 50:26worry about that?
- 50:27>> What are you talking about?
- 50:29>> They say we are praying on the people's
- 50:31desperation. They say that a real god
- 50:34would never ask for a man's fortune.
- 50:37What happens to our business if this
- 50:39message takes hold?
- 50:40>> And how long do you think the other
- 50:41merchants will tolerate such a message?
- 50:44They will soon be laughed out of town or
- 50:46someone will strike a deal with them.
- 50:49You'll see.
- 50:55>> Look around.
- 50:59>> There is only one god and it is money.
- 51:03That is the true faith of this city.
- 51:07Well, these days not all our merchants
- 51:10are worshiping the idols. Where is that
- 51:13lazy one who used to sell idols in
- 51:15sacks? He joined the movement the other
- 51:18day.
- 51:20>> And what about the lord of merchants?
- 51:22Where is he? Joined them too a long time
- 51:25ago.
- 51:31>> Alakam is right. People still buy night
- 51:35idols, but I think they're eating them
- 51:37for dessert.
- 51:45Are there any other traitors in my
- 51:47house?
- 51:49>> Well,
- 51:51stand and reveal yourselves.
- 51:58>> Maybe you should ask your slave.
- 52:00>> What? What are you talking about?
- 52:07Slave?
- 52:09Why don't you tell my father about your
- 52:12new found friend?
- 52:13>> Impossible. You must be mistaken. There
- 52:16are no traitors in my household. Right,
- 52:19Bilal?
- 52:24>> Speak up. Safan has accused you of
- 52:27something. What do you have to say to
- 52:29yourself? I said speak up, slave. You
- 52:32have my permission to talk.
- 52:41We are all born equals.
- 52:48We breathe the same air.
- 52:51We bleed the same color
- 52:56and will die
- 52:58and be buried
- 53:00beneath the same ground.
- 53:07I believe
- 53:10I am as free a man
- 53:15as you are.
- 53:17Free equal. I hate these words. Oh my.
- 53:22This one woke up on the wrong side of
- 53:24the ground today. Free equals.
- 53:28[screaming] Oh, everyone look here. We
- 53:32are both equals. A
- 53:35[screaming and groaning]
- 53:36>> you once slapped my face because I let
- 53:38this slave make a fool of you. What are
- 53:40you going to do now, father?
- 53:43>> This one's not happen.
- 53:49Gods.
- 54:00Being a great man begins with taking off
- 54:06your chains.
- 54:21Get up. Put this move it.
- 54:26>> Find him.
- 54:28>> Renounce your claim.
- 54:29>> Renounce [screaming]
- 54:37water. No.
- 54:49Renounce your claim.
- 54:53>> No one is to touch this slave. Maya's
- 54:56order. Renounce your claim. Slave.
- 54:58>> I will not.
- 55:01[screaming]
- 55:07greet the master
- 55:13>> warrior.
- 55:17>> All humanity is a single
- 55:21for those who look out only dream.
- 55:40And what is the difference between you
- 55:51and those who look within
- 55:54are awakened?
- 55:56[screaming]
- 56:08>> [screaming]
- 56:12[groaning and screaming]
- 56:14>> When you are awakened, your story will
- 56:17race out of this desert across the world
- 56:25where great men are tested.
- 56:42But soon
- 56:44prepare yourself.
- 56:46>> Being a great man means living without
- 56:49change.
- 57:35below.
- 57:37You're awake.
- 57:40Good.
- 57:43You're braver than I thought.
- 57:47I take credit for that.
- 57:50It comes from watching me all these
- 57:52years. I'm sure
- 57:55it took guts to reveal yourself like
- 57:57that. But sadly, you still think like a
- 58:01slave.
- 58:07I'll get you back on track with a little
- 58:09secret. See, I never believed in these
- 58:13gods. No, no, no, no. I'm not a fool.
- 58:19The truth is we are both slaves. Bilal,
- 58:23the difference between us is I worship
- 58:26whatever empowers me.
- 58:30You
- 58:32worship something that will destroy you.
- 58:45A free man would have sought out the
- 58:48profit in this situation.
- 58:50For example, a free man might offer to
- 58:53spy on his master's enemies. He might
- 58:55realize the advantage in that. Do you
- 58:58understand what I'm saying? Below,
- 59:03get him some water.
- 59:13Should I take off these chains?
- 59:18>> What do you say, Below?
- 59:20>> My chains
- 59:23are already off.
- 59:25>> That's funny because I see them. Or does
- 59:29your invisible god make other things
- 59:31invisible, too?
- 59:33>> I'm talking about the chains
- 59:36in here. Stop talking in riddles.
- 59:39>> Do you know how much trouble you're in?
- 59:42>> I can have you killed right now.
- 59:44>> It doesn't matter what you do to me.
- 59:48And there's nothing you can give me.
- 59:55I am already free.
- 59:58>> And what about your sister?
- 1:00:00Is she free, too?
- 1:00:02>> So, are you going to consider my
- 1:00:04proposition or not?
- 1:00:07You wanted a horse. I will give you two
- 1:00:10and I will provide both you and your
- 1:00:12sister a home.
- 1:00:14>> Accept his offer.
- 1:00:27>> This is why you are a slave while I am
- 1:00:29rich. You don't recognize when you have
- 1:00:32been given an opportunity.
- 1:00:34Too bad.
- 1:00:36Then kill me.
- 1:00:38>> I'm not going to kill you.
- 1:00:41[cheering]
- 1:00:42>> Yet you might still die.
- 1:00:45[screaming]
- 1:00:59The time has come.
- 1:01:03>> [cheering]
- 1:01:09>> I feel you.
- 1:01:36Tell me, slave,
- 1:01:38>> who are you calling to? Is he stronger
- 1:01:40than I am? Is he stronger than my gods?
- 1:01:44For with their power and mine, I can
- 1:01:47have you killed
- 1:01:49>> or set free.
- 1:01:51>> This is my god.
- 1:01:53>> Can't do this.
- 1:01:54>> Do you want it to come to your aid?
- 1:01:57accept and I will ask it to absolve you
- 1:02:00of your sins.
- 1:02:02>> I've already offered a fair price for
- 1:02:04him.
- 1:02:05>> Very fair.
- 1:02:07>> Then what is the reason for bringing him
- 1:02:09out here?
- 1:02:14[cheering]
- 1:02:15>> Got him.
- 1:02:36If you injure him, then he is of no
- 1:02:38value to me, and the deal is off. We'll
- 1:02:41see.
- 1:02:42>> This slave has been charged with the
- 1:02:45most heinous of crimes.
- 1:02:49He stands against his masters. For this
- 1:02:53offense, he will be punished.
- 1:02:57[cheering]
- 1:03:10No, you will kill him.
- 1:03:16>> Stop.
- 1:03:27Please. No.
- 1:03:28>> Feel that slave.
- 1:03:32Give up below.
- 1:03:34You can end [clears throat] this. Cry
- 1:03:37for forgiveness and accept us as your
- 1:03:40real masters
- 1:03:42and these as your true gods.
- 1:03:46>> How many gods are there? Can you count,
- 1:03:49slave?
- 1:04:02One, only one.
- 1:04:21It can't be.
- 1:04:25You are a fool.
- 1:04:27>> I
- 1:04:28am
- 1:04:30free.
- 1:04:36[screaming]
- 1:04:37>> No, not me.
- 1:04:40>> Stop. He will die.
- 1:04:42>> I will double the offer.
- 1:04:44>> I think you've lost your head for
- 1:04:46business.
- 1:04:49>> Sold.
- 1:04:51Remove the stone.
- 1:04:54>> [groaning]
- 1:04:55[screaming]
- 1:05:04>> I would have given all I owned for him.
- 1:05:09>> For a slave?
- 1:05:11>> No.
- 1:05:13>> For a brother.
- 1:05:16>> Don't tell me that this new movement
- 1:05:18makes slaves and nobles brothers.
- 1:05:21[laughter]
- 1:05:23And you believe me?
- 1:05:25[snorts]
- 1:05:26>> It does.
- 1:05:33>> Easy. Easy.
- 1:05:36>> Talk to me.
- 1:05:38>> His sister.
- 1:05:40>> I'll pay the same for her.
- 1:05:42>> You're asking the wrong person. I gave
- 1:05:45her to Safwan as a gift.
- 1:05:50>> I won't sell her.
- 1:05:52Not even for your whole business. Take
- 1:05:55her.
- 1:05:56>> No.
- 1:05:56>> What is the meaning of this?
- 1:05:58>> One hand.
- 1:06:24I will [music] forever be grateful
- 1:06:27for you have saved my life. To save one
- 1:06:31life, my brother, is like saving all
- 1:06:34humanity.
- 1:06:37So, how does it feel to walk the streets
- 1:06:39of Maka as a free man?
- 1:06:42>> It feels good just to be walking.
- 1:06:46>> Where's So,
- 1:06:46>> with Hamza and the Lord of merchants,
- 1:06:49they wait for us at the gate.
- 1:06:55>> Word of your defiance makes its way
- 1:06:57through all the city. Um and his slave
- 1:07:00masters will come for you, Palao. We
- 1:07:02must leave. Where will we go?
- 1:07:05to a great city. One that welcomes us
- 1:07:08with open arms.
- 1:08:01attractive. Isn't it?
- 1:08:05Men crafted the blade to hunt and
- 1:08:07provide food for his family.
- 1:08:10These days, men use it to break each
- 1:08:14other.
- 1:08:15Its true purpose and value has been
- 1:08:18lost.
- 1:08:19>> Will you teach me how to fight?
- 1:08:21>> Why?
- 1:08:23You think if you had wielded a weapon,
- 1:08:25the outcome might have been in your
- 1:08:27favor.
- 1:08:28Or do you seek to take what you desire
- 1:08:31with the sword?
- 1:08:36Remember, I can only show you how to use
- 1:08:39it, but you alone must decide where and
- 1:08:44when.
- 1:08:47Violence does not always solve disputes.
- 1:08:50Do not allow yourself to be lured into a
- 1:08:53battle you can avoid.
- 1:09:01When do we start?
- 1:09:03>> As soon as you put back the sword and
- 1:09:05pick up that stick.
- 1:10:11Sod. up.
- 1:10:17>> All right, let's try some sparring.
- 1:10:21>> Show me what you've got, rookie.
- 1:10:23>> Huh? After you, apple hunter.
- 1:10:27[groaning]
- 1:10:28>> Turn around. Duck. Now, Perry, as we
- 1:10:32practiced, as we practiced,
- 1:10:40>> you look
- 1:10:44this
- 1:11:14Fire.
- 1:11:28>> [gasps and sighs]
- 1:11:32>> Come on.
- 1:11:34[groaning]
- 1:12:12>> [sighs]
- 1:12:25[groaning]
- 1:12:36[sighs]
- 1:12:37>> I beat you again.
- 1:12:40>> Come
- 1:12:41get up.
- 1:12:44>> Let's spar when you cool down below.
- 1:12:48Never strike in anger.
- 1:12:51>> We will free her, Bal. Do not lose hope.
- 1:13:01He who conquers his anger is strong. He
- 1:13:04who forgives when having the power to
- 1:13:06seek revenge will witness glory.
- 1:13:10>> I promise
- 1:13:12I will try hard. Promise me to train
- 1:13:14this.
- 1:13:16True strength is in the mind, Bella, not
- 1:13:18in the weapon. And that is Hamza's
- 1:13:21secret.
- 1:13:23One day you will discover your own
- 1:13:25secret.
- 1:13:36[music] Morning.
- 1:13:56Yeah.
- 1:14:15Welcome to
- 1:14:24>> It's
- 1:14:33Come with me. We will take you to your
- 1:14:36home.
- 1:14:39[laughter]
- 1:14:41>> Please put together.
- 1:14:48Where are you taking me?
- 1:14:56[laughter]
- 1:15:20Mother, watching me build a home.
- 1:15:36Watch us build a house where we can
- 1:15:39gather to spread hope. Hope to inspire
- 1:15:43the hearts of men.
- 1:16:00He asks that you call out to them,
- 1:16:03master below.
- 1:16:15>> From here
- 1:16:18I will call them.
- 1:16:26Show me.
- 1:16:29Show me how your voice will inspire.
- 1:16:33>> How it will be raised to speak for
- 1:16:35justice
- 1:16:37and equality.
- 1:16:46What I feared is happening. Um, they're
- 1:16:49growing in strength and numbers. Are we
- 1:16:52to stand here and do nothing? He is
- 1:16:55right, father. When a slave defies his
- 1:16:58master, the world turns upside down.
- 1:17:03Kill them. Kill them all.
- 1:17:07Kill.
- 1:17:13We will begin here tonight.
- 1:17:17Assemble a great army to crush each and
- 1:17:20every place that shelters them. that it
- 1:17:23start with our own households.
- 1:17:28Root them all out and kill them.
- 1:17:42>> Close the gate.
- 1:17:51>> [laughter]
- 1:17:52>> This way.
- 1:18:02>> Magnificent horse.
- 1:18:04>> It followed us on our way back. Do you
- 1:18:06know him?
- 1:18:07>> I do.
- 1:18:09>> We are old friends.
- 1:18:13>> He was once owned by Umbaya. H seems he
- 1:18:17has escaped his oppression as well.
- 1:18:20>> Take good care of him.
- 1:18:23>> The old man brings news from Mecca.
- 1:18:27>> The persecution
- 1:18:29grows worse every day. We have lost so
- 1:18:32much. But we were lucky. We have
- 1:18:35escaped.
- 1:18:36>> The ones who remain, I fear, may soon
- 1:18:40lose their lives. A message for you from
- 1:18:42the son of Omaya.
- 1:18:54fighter.
- 1:18:56>> Where is belong?
- 1:18:57>> He's over there by that.
- 1:19:11Yeah.
- 1:19:20Heat.
- 1:19:33>> [screaming]
- 1:19:41>> my [screaming]
- 1:19:48free.
- 1:20:17My child,
- 1:20:20>> where are the rest of you?
- 1:20:21>> We're the only ones left.
- 1:20:26Yeah.
- 1:20:52Who fight her?
- 1:20:55Rufa,
- 1:20:57take him outside. Follow me.
- 1:21:05>> SL. Get him.
- 1:21:09[groaning]
- 1:21:13[screaming]
- 1:21:17[groaning]
- 1:21:17Got him. You've made a grave mistake
- 1:21:20coming back here, boy.
- 1:21:21>> Get him up. [groaning]
- 1:21:25Where is your god now?
- 1:21:31>> Wait.
- 1:21:54proceed.
- 1:22:01Time to meet your god.
- 1:22:18Come.
- 1:22:29>> I'm not leaving without you. Hurry.
- 1:22:48Super.
- 1:23:45I knew I would find you here.
- 1:23:51I have no words that can make you feel
- 1:23:54better.
- 1:23:56I can only ask that you keep your mind
- 1:23:58clear and your heart true.
- 1:24:02And rest assured, God will always be
- 1:24:04there for you, Pilhal.
- 1:24:09I have made this for you.
- 1:24:23>> [snorts]
- 1:24:30>> When you decide to use it, remember not
- 1:24:34to allow the blade to dictate your
- 1:24:36choices.
