00:15.557 --> 00:17.518
<i>Previously on</i> House of David<i>...</i>

00:17.601 --> 00:20.354
When I was young, there were these stones.

00:20.437 --> 00:23.315
Your mother loved them,
so I had this made for her.

00:23.941 --> 00:27.736
<i>I trust you've checked
every corner for scorpions?</i>

00:27.819 --> 00:30.155
We must be careful to crush them.

00:30.239 --> 00:33.867
<i>If there's love to be found,
I must embrace it while I still can.</i>

00:33.951 --> 00:36.203
Jonathan,
what are you doing here? Jonath--

00:37.120 --> 00:38.914
David, I have never been chosen.

00:38.997 --> 00:41.917
I deserve to have a future
as much as Mychal.

00:42.417 --> 00:44.211
Please, don't embarrass me.

00:44.294 --> 00:46.129
Tell me, son of Judah.

00:46.213 --> 00:47.756
Does your conscience still drown

00:47.840 --> 00:50.259
in the blood of the innocent family
you slaughtered?

00:50.342 --> 00:51.635
Get away, son. Run!

00:51.718 --> 00:54.304
Lately, you seem to be fighting
more than the enemy.

00:58.100 --> 01:01.311
They would crown that boy
today if they could.

01:01.395 --> 01:04.690
He is a threat.
Why do you refuse to see it?

01:04.773 --> 01:05.816
My king.

01:07.067 --> 01:08.318
David.

01:08.819 --> 01:12.865
I will not marry Mirab. Do what you must.

03:05.978 --> 03:09.731
If David is not grateful
for the favor of his king, let him leave.

03:10.315 --> 03:13.569
Banish him back to the hills
of Bethlehem. Back to nothing!

03:13.652 --> 03:16.905
And what then? You are the one
who put him on this pedestal.

03:16.989 --> 03:20.242
Should he step off, the people
will blame you for it, not him.

03:20.325 --> 03:22.244
Ah, my king, your hands are tied.

03:22.327 --> 03:24.246
A king's hands are never tied!

03:24.955 --> 03:26.415
There is another solution.

03:31.295 --> 03:33.505
Close the doors and leave us.

03:35.174 --> 03:36.967
Give David what he wants.

03:39.469 --> 03:40.762
Let him marry Mychal.

03:42.431 --> 03:45.767
But only after he completes
one last mission.

03:46.727 --> 03:50.063
One that will prove his worthiness,
win her hand.

03:51.565 --> 03:52.941
One he will not survive.

03:55.903 --> 03:58.614
My queen, the boy serves this house.

03:58.697 --> 04:00.616
He inspires our people.

04:00.699 --> 04:05.996
Then let them be inspired one last time.

04:10.167 --> 04:13.545
The giant slayer will die a hero
at the hands of our enemies.

04:14.505 --> 04:18.634
Leave our nation with a legend
they will cherish...

04:20.135 --> 04:21.345
and soon forget.

04:25.140 --> 04:30.145
My king, this plan comes
with significant risk should it fail.

04:30.229 --> 04:31.605
Then don't fail, Abner.

04:33.732 --> 04:35.526
But I do care about the boy.

04:36.401 --> 04:37.402
I know.

04:41.532 --> 04:43.951
But David grows more powerful by the day,

04:44.034 --> 04:47.329
and soon you will not
be able to contain him.

04:52.042 --> 04:53.168
My king...

04:55.087 --> 04:56.338
my husband.

04:58.966 --> 05:02.636
Heed my words as you always have

05:03.929 --> 05:08.642
for the sake of your throne
and the future of our family.

05:11.061 --> 05:13.981
David must die.

05:43.260 --> 05:44.928
You make it look harder than it is.

05:45.012 --> 05:47.639
Oh, I confess
I don't have much experience.

05:47.723 --> 05:50.893
Mmm. Not a regular part
of a prince's duties?

05:51.393 --> 05:54.813
I can see why you love it here.

06:10.954 --> 06:11.955
Jonathan?

06:15.334 --> 06:16.710
Why have you come?

06:33.352 --> 06:35.896
- To ask you to marry me.
- Jonathan.

06:35.979 --> 06:39.107
I'm sorry about your brother,
that I could not protect him.

06:41.109 --> 06:42.945
And you're right.

06:44.196 --> 06:47.699
- I take lives. I--
- It was unfair of me to blame you.

06:49.618 --> 06:52.287
And I know my brother
was honored to fight beside you.

06:53.580 --> 06:57.042
But as much as I can understand it,
I cannot live your life.

06:58.001 --> 06:59.503
Then we will build our own life.

07:00.921 --> 07:04.132
I love you.
You have healed more than my body.

07:06.677 --> 07:10.347
I cannot see my future without you.
I-I refuse to.

07:11.056 --> 07:13.100
You're the firstborn prince of Israel.

07:14.434 --> 07:17.271
One day, whether I like it or not,
you are going to be king...

07:19.231 --> 07:20.774
and I do not wish to be queen.

07:20.858 --> 07:21.984
- What if I wasn't?
- Wasn't what?

07:22.067 --> 07:23.068
Going to be king.

07:24.653 --> 07:25.946
But you are.

07:28.240 --> 07:30.117
There's something I need to tell you.

07:42.796 --> 07:44.047
Have you come to gloat?

07:46.216 --> 07:47.509
I came to apologize.

07:51.805 --> 07:53.557
I never intended to hurt you.

07:54.683 --> 07:57.561
You would have to matter
to me for your betrayal to hurt.

07:58.979 --> 08:03.275
Besides, my father will probably
banish you to Egypt.

08:03.775 --> 08:07.404
Or maybe have you dragged
behind a hundred horses

08:07.487 --> 08:09.031
- until you beg for death...
- Mirab.

08:09.114 --> 08:10.741
...or make you a eunuch.

08:10.824 --> 08:13.911
Hmm. I like it.
I'll recommend it to him myself.

08:13.994 --> 08:17.372
- I wish I could explain to you why.
- There is nothing for you to explain.

08:17.456 --> 08:18.999
We had a public arrangement.

08:19.082 --> 08:22.544
An arrangement is no reason to marry.
It isn't fair to either of us.

08:22.628 --> 08:24.671
Do not talk to me about what is fair.

08:30.511 --> 08:32.471
I only ever asked you for one thing.

08:33.680 --> 08:36.391
One, do not embarrass me.

08:37.601 --> 08:40.479
And now it appears
you have embarrassed us both.

08:43.023 --> 08:46.568
You defied the man who made you
famous because you want what you want,

08:46.652 --> 08:48.570
and you do not care who you hurt.

08:48.654 --> 08:51.949
And now, you will face the consequences.

08:54.785 --> 08:58.413
Goodbye, David. You will not be missed.

09:05.420 --> 09:09.174
Samuel anointed David, a shepherd,

09:10.384 --> 09:11.927
to be the next king of Israel?

09:12.803 --> 09:13.804
Yes.

09:14.471 --> 09:16.598
And your father does not know this?

09:17.140 --> 09:18.183
No.

09:18.267 --> 09:19.601
So if he finds out...

09:21.562 --> 09:23.188
What about Mychal, does she know?

09:23.272 --> 09:26.358
Only me. And, uh, well, now you.

09:26.441 --> 09:28.652
I should have told you
I am not good at lying.

09:29.403 --> 09:30.404
Sorry.

09:36.869 --> 09:38.453
Why are you telling me this?

09:40.747 --> 09:42.708
Because God has a design.

09:45.085 --> 09:47.754
And it is clear it does not
involve me becoming king.

09:49.006 --> 09:50.007
I'm sorry.

09:53.969 --> 10:00.267
No. I've spent my entire life watching
other men discover their destinies...

10:02.436 --> 10:06.064
while mine laid before me,
already written in stone.

10:09.067 --> 10:10.819
Now God has chosen David,

10:11.945 --> 10:15.032
and somehow, I feel...

10:17.784 --> 10:18.911
relief.

10:20.996 --> 10:22.164
In truth, I feel free.

10:23.123 --> 10:26.627
Perhaps for the first time in my life.

10:30.797 --> 10:34.843
But I do not need to search for passion...

10:37.888 --> 10:40.682
because it walked into my life
and it found me.

10:45.646 --> 10:46.647
So, marry me?

10:49.525 --> 10:50.651
When?

10:51.652 --> 10:53.987
Today. Here.

10:54.738 --> 10:57.032
Only in the presence of God and your kin.

11:00.202 --> 11:01.870
All I desire is here.

11:13.632 --> 11:16.510
Do you know the turmoil
you have caused in this house?

11:17.845 --> 11:19.346
Speak the truth to me.

11:19.847 --> 11:23.350
You refuse to marry Mirab
because of your love for Mychal, yes?

11:24.393 --> 11:25.561
Yes.

11:25.644 --> 11:31.024
And you would do anything for this love?
You would die for it?

11:33.694 --> 11:34.695
I would.

11:36.613 --> 11:41.326
I married for love
when I was not much older than you.

11:41.410 --> 11:43.328
Well, then you must understand.

11:44.162 --> 11:47.749
I do. And I am willing to compromise.

11:49.668 --> 11:53.964
I will allow you to marry Mychal
because I know you love her.

11:54.923 --> 12:00.345
But, first, you must prove
your devotion to me.

12:01.430 --> 12:02.431
Anything.

12:06.018 --> 12:08.103
I will fight any battle for you.

12:08.937 --> 12:11.273
The Philistine Forge at Gath.

12:12.858 --> 12:14.693
Where they were crafting weapons of iron?

12:14.776 --> 12:17.571
You must destroy it,
burn it to the ground.

12:18.363 --> 12:19.531
Consider it done.

12:19.615 --> 12:22.826
It will not be easy.
It is fortified and elevated,

12:22.910 --> 12:25.746
they will see your army
from a long distance away.

12:25.829 --> 12:29.666
Well, then I will take only my finest men.

12:29.750 --> 12:31.543
You will do more than that.

12:34.588 --> 12:37.341
They have raided my villages,
murdered my people.

12:38.759 --> 12:39.760
In return...

12:42.429 --> 12:48.393
you will personally kill 100 Philistines
and bring me their foreskins.

12:48.477 --> 12:52.022
This will make you
worthy of my daughter's hand.

12:53.190 --> 12:57.528
My king, I would kill 1,000
if it meant I could be with Mychal.

12:58.946 --> 13:00.531
Then may God be with you.

13:02.991 --> 13:04.159
But, David...

13:07.538 --> 13:11.250
love is one thing. Loyalty is another.

13:11.333 --> 13:13.377
You will speak of this to no one.

13:15.170 --> 13:16.547
Especially Mychal.

13:18.841 --> 13:20.175
I will not disappoint you.

13:23.387 --> 13:24.513
Thank you.

13:32.604 --> 13:33.772
David?

13:35.983 --> 13:37.484
Before you go...

13:45.742 --> 13:46.952
will you play for me?

14:08.432 --> 14:12.477
Jonathan, son of Saul,

14:14.021 --> 14:16.481
today you have honored our family...

14:19.610 --> 14:22.404
as you join our houses...

14:22.487 --> 14:27.034
...and take my granddaughter,
Sara, as your wife.

15:34.226 --> 15:35.853
As beautiful as ever.

15:45.195 --> 15:46.655
God go with you, son.

16:02.337 --> 16:03.797
It was foolish what you did.

16:04.715 --> 16:05.716
And brave.

16:07.092 --> 16:09.011
Mostly foolish.

16:09.094 --> 16:10.095
Ah.

16:12.097 --> 16:13.765
Mychal, can I ask you a question?

16:14.474 --> 16:15.475
Mm-hmm.

16:16.268 --> 16:20.147
If we could still marry, would you?

16:21.523 --> 16:25.235
David.
We've talked about this. We can't.

16:25.319 --> 16:26.320
If we could.

16:27.946 --> 16:31.116
Why are you asking me this? Why now?

16:31.700 --> 16:34.995
If I could say more, I would,
but all I need is a simple yes or no.

16:36.663 --> 16:38.957
Mmm. Yes.

16:39.583 --> 16:41.752
But, David,
that doesn't change the situation.

16:41.835 --> 16:44.838
Please just trust me. I will be back.

16:44.922 --> 16:46.006
- Back?
- Yes.

16:46.590 --> 16:48.342
- Back? Back from where?
- I will be back.

16:48.842 --> 16:49.843
David.

16:53.347 --> 16:56.892
Where else in my kingdom
can I drink wine like this?

16:56.975 --> 16:58.810
Mmm.

17:02.231 --> 17:03.941
It is decidedly strong.

17:04.024 --> 17:06.652
Mmm. Strength knows strength.

17:08.487 --> 17:13.450
I'm afraid to ask what it is made from.

17:13.534 --> 17:14.993
Best you don't.

17:24.753 --> 17:27.256
Surely Samuel is not still in your head?

17:28.882 --> 17:30.425
Like a termite.

17:32.386 --> 17:35.806
We have each suffered from pestilence.

17:37.349 --> 17:40.269
But I turn my blade
on my enemies, not myself.

17:41.353 --> 17:43.355
That is how I was freed from this.

17:44.398 --> 17:48.652
So, if God no longer troubles you,

17:49.611 --> 17:50.821
what is it?

17:55.284 --> 17:57.953
David.

18:04.084 --> 18:06.962
I would ask how you knew that.

18:07.045 --> 18:08.463
I listen, I observe.

18:08.547 --> 18:09.590
Mmm.

18:09.673 --> 18:12.301
But I will tell you a story.

18:12.968 --> 18:14.803
I knew a man once.

18:16.305 --> 18:19.725
He kept a tiger, magnificent creature.

18:20.517 --> 18:26.064
He fed it by hand only the finest meat,
and the tiger loved him for that,

18:26.773 --> 18:28.025
until one day,

18:28.525 --> 18:31.737
it decided it had
a taste for something, uh...

18:34.031 --> 18:35.032
richer.

18:37.159 --> 18:39.578
Time came, the tiger had to go.

18:42.915 --> 18:44.583
And you have friends?

18:45.167 --> 18:46.919
A great many friends.

18:47.002 --> 18:48.003
In Philistia?

18:51.548 --> 18:52.549
Philistia?

18:53.425 --> 18:56.094
I listen as well. I observe.

19:03.769 --> 19:05.187
Send them a message.

19:08.065 --> 19:11.568
But, Doeg, remember who you serve.

19:19.993 --> 19:21.620
Always, my king.

19:35.717 --> 19:37.386
<i>Does your conscience still drown</i>

19:37.469 --> 19:39.763
<i>in the blood of the innocent family
you slaughtered?</i>

19:40.889 --> 19:44.810
<i>Eliab, tell him. You know me.
Merciful God, please.</i>

19:45.394 --> 19:46.395
<i>Eliab, tell him.</i>

19:56.738 --> 20:00.033
So, you're going to kill your way
to the throne, is that it?

20:00.117 --> 20:01.201
Keep your voice down.

20:03.453 --> 20:04.913
These are our enemies, Eliab.

20:10.127 --> 20:12.379
I'm starting to question
what that even means.

20:12.462 --> 20:14.173
No. You're staying.

20:16.216 --> 20:17.426
Really?

20:19.469 --> 20:23.557
You're going to fight without me?
Do you have a death wish?

20:24.474 --> 20:26.602
No. But you do.

20:28.437 --> 20:30.856
I see the way you fight
out there every battle.

20:31.607 --> 20:33.650
You don't listen to orders or reason.

20:33.734 --> 20:35.861
You put everyone's lives
around you at risk.

20:35.944 --> 20:38.655
You're the one who's going to
get yourself killed, brother.

20:41.200 --> 20:42.367
But not on my command.

21:02.804 --> 21:05.516
David, where is Eliab?

21:06.892 --> 21:08.185
Eliab's not coming.

21:08.268 --> 21:09.269
- No?
- David?

21:10.145 --> 21:11.146
Uriah.

21:12.439 --> 21:13.774
May I see your sword?

21:15.734 --> 21:16.735
All right.

21:20.197 --> 21:25.244
For you, commander, freshly forged
of iron by our new blacksmith.

21:26.245 --> 21:27.871
- Wow.
- All yours.

21:32.751 --> 21:35.337
Very nice. Thank you, Uriah.

21:36.129 --> 21:37.631
Let's go put it to good use.

21:47.474 --> 21:48.475
Let's ride.

23:24.196 --> 23:26.740
My king. A message.

23:27.783 --> 23:28.784
From where?

23:29.952 --> 23:30.953
Israel.

23:50.013 --> 23:51.557
Where are you, my king?

23:53.141 --> 23:54.184
Hmm?

23:54.268 --> 23:55.978
Because you are not here with me.

23:58.522 --> 23:59.523
I am.

24:02.401 --> 24:04.528
I am here.

24:05.195 --> 24:07.406
There's no place I would rather be.

24:08.657 --> 24:10.450
May I ask you a favor?

24:10.534 --> 24:11.618
Mm-hmm.

24:13.120 --> 24:18.959
When David marries Mychal,
it will be such a grand event.

24:21.628 --> 24:23.130
Will you allow me to attend?

24:24.965 --> 24:28.844
Not as a servant, but as a guest.

24:32.139 --> 24:33.140
My dear...

24:35.267 --> 24:38.228
that would create
quite a stir in this household.

24:41.190 --> 24:45.694
Yes. [chuckles] Of course. I understand.

24:48.238 --> 24:49.239
Mmm.

24:59.041 --> 25:00.751
Kezia.

25:03.045 --> 25:05.756
My sweet.

25:07.716 --> 25:10.052
I shall find a way to make it up to you.

25:13.680 --> 25:16.517
For bringing your light into my life.

25:19.228 --> 25:20.521
Mm-hmm.

25:23.941 --> 25:25.067
Mmm.

25:30.447 --> 25:34.576
Don't get up. Stay down there
by my husband's feet.

25:37.955 --> 25:39.581
What is it you want, Ahinoam?

25:42.209 --> 25:44.086
Our son has returned...

25:46.547 --> 25:47.548
with news.

25:51.093 --> 25:52.511
Yeah?

25:52.594 --> 25:53.679
Yes.

25:53.762 --> 25:55.597
Here he comes.

25:56.098 --> 25:57.182
In his nightgown?

25:57.266 --> 25:58.809
- Jonathan?
- Good to see you.

25:58.892 --> 26:00.394
- Yes.
- Father.

26:03.856 --> 26:05.065
We have some news.

26:08.068 --> 26:09.820
You're getting married, aren't you?

26:13.448 --> 26:14.449
No.

26:17.119 --> 26:18.120
We are married.

26:19.788 --> 26:21.081
What? When?

26:22.291 --> 26:24.168
Of course you are.

26:24.251 --> 26:26.545
Jonathan, congratulations.

26:37.764 --> 26:38.765
Hmm.

26:38.849 --> 26:42.853
Our future king
has found his beautiful queen.

26:44.146 --> 26:45.939
But the union is not valid.

26:46.023 --> 26:48.901
Then we will make it valid.

26:49.735 --> 26:52.362
This calls for a feast.

27:07.711 --> 27:08.712
More.

27:11.089 --> 27:13.800
Aw.

27:19.806 --> 27:21.433
Look at them. See?

27:23.477 --> 27:27.856
They're trying so hard
to look happy.

27:29.358 --> 27:30.442
It's really sad.

27:35.489 --> 27:37.783
What's spinning
in that little head of yours, sister?

27:38.575 --> 27:39.868
It's nice, you know?

27:41.119 --> 27:43.413
After everything,
they-they love each other,

27:43.497 --> 27:45.624
and they-they found a way to be together.

27:47.626 --> 27:49.545
Forgive me, angels.

27:58.053 --> 27:59.054
Would you excuse me?

28:00.180 --> 28:01.265
I'll be back.

28:05.769 --> 28:06.770
Mother.

28:10.816 --> 28:13.110
I know this isn't what
you envisioned for me.

28:17.239 --> 28:19.950
But I love her. Deeply.

28:21.827 --> 28:25.122
And I feel it in my spirit.

28:26.957 --> 28:28.834
This is what God had intended for me.

28:31.420 --> 28:33.964
Well, if you truly love her,

28:34.047 --> 28:37.759
then how could I not be happy?

28:41.346 --> 28:43.390
My boy.

28:46.727 --> 28:47.811
Go enjoy yourself.

29:06.246 --> 29:09.708
How are we supposed to
fight on half rations, huh?

29:10.584 --> 29:12.753
There are never enough rations
for you, my friend.

29:15.797 --> 29:16.798
Yes, David.

29:17.299 --> 29:21.470
David, why do we always have to leave
the palace? Where are we going now?

29:22.262 --> 29:24.515
We are going to destroy
an iron forge near Gath.

29:24.598 --> 29:25.891
Why only 30 of us?

29:26.558 --> 29:28.227
It's high and fortified.

29:28.310 --> 29:32.481
And sometimes I feel I can do more with
my best men than an army of a thousand.

29:32.564 --> 29:36.276
Yeah. Best men. That's why I'm here.

29:36.985 --> 29:38.779
You're here
'cause you're his brother.

29:40.072 --> 29:43.200
So, Uriah, you've traveled much,
haven't you?

29:43.283 --> 29:45.536
I have. I am a Hittite.

29:46.286 --> 29:48.372
I came here through Egypt
as a boy to trade.

29:48.455 --> 29:49.748
Oh, you've been to Egypt?

29:49.831 --> 29:52.584
Mmm. Yes. Yes,
and the great sea, Abinadab.

29:52.668 --> 29:54.711
Hey, tell me about the women in Egypt.

29:54.795 --> 29:56.797
They're not as beautiful
as the women here.

29:56.880 --> 29:57.881
- Ah.
- Ah.

29:57.965 --> 30:02.427
So why did you decide to stay,
Uriah? In Israel.

30:03.887 --> 30:07.891
'Cause our gods were made of stone.
And your god is real.

30:23.866 --> 30:27.828
Thank you for your generosity.
I am honored to join your family.

30:30.205 --> 30:32.207
I have never seen this look on his face.

30:36.086 --> 30:37.254
The honor is ours.

30:41.216 --> 30:47.014
I want to make a toast
to my beloved brother, Jonathan,

30:47.097 --> 30:51.935
who made the brave
and admirable choice to marry for love.

30:57.691 --> 31:01.737
Brother, I hope it is
everything they say it is.

31:02.738 --> 31:05.657
Endless joy.

31:05.741 --> 31:08.702
And unwavering devotion.

31:10.704 --> 31:12.497
I hope it's worth the risk.

31:15.417 --> 31:18.128
So, to the prince.

31:18.212 --> 31:20.297
To the prince.

31:29.389 --> 31:31.225
I'm starting to regret
giving up wine myself.

31:40.901 --> 31:42.110
Mirab. Mirab, look.

31:44.530 --> 31:47.783
Well, seems someone is working her way up.

31:48.951 --> 31:50.786
We all serve at the pleasure of the king.

31:52.246 --> 31:53.372
Some more than others.

32:19.481 --> 32:24.236
You invited your concubine
to our son's celebration?

32:25.112 --> 32:27.281
No. I didn't.

32:28.156 --> 32:32.160
Then order her out. Now.

32:46.383 --> 32:47.467
Kezia.

32:52.347 --> 32:54.558
I understand you are the one responsible

32:54.641 --> 32:57.561
for bringing my son
and his beautiful wife together.

32:58.145 --> 33:01.648
Yes, my king. She is a great healer.

33:03.609 --> 33:05.068
Indeed.

33:06.153 --> 33:08.989
Then it is you
we should be thanking for all of this.

33:10.741 --> 33:12.659
Once a servant...

33:15.120 --> 33:16.705
now she's an honored guest.

33:21.043 --> 33:22.044
Please join us.

33:22.669 --> 33:23.670
A seat.

33:50.531 --> 33:51.698
She has no shame.

33:54.201 --> 33:57.162
- Lehayim.
- Lehayim!

33:59.623 --> 34:01.333
She's wearing Mother's necklace.

34:02.167 --> 34:04.294
- I think it looks good on her.
- Eshbaal.

34:04.378 --> 34:05.754
Don't blame the servant.

34:05.838 --> 34:08.006
She's doing what she must.
She's surviving.

34:09.049 --> 34:11.301
Honestly, I'm-I'm impressed.

34:11.802 --> 34:14.847
No, she must be manipulating him somehow.

34:14.930 --> 34:17.266
- Mychal, stop.
- Stop what?

34:17.975 --> 34:19.726
Stop defending him.

34:19.810 --> 34:21.478
I'm not defending him.

34:21.562 --> 34:23.856
You think we don't know what is happening?

34:24.690 --> 34:26.567
Why they called off my wedding?

34:26.650 --> 34:28.193
No, I had nothing to do with that.

34:28.277 --> 34:31.446
- You know that.
- Of course you didn't.

34:31.530 --> 34:33.740
- Mirab, I swear that it was not--
- Don't. Please don't!

34:33.824 --> 34:35.617
Stop it. Don't bother.

34:35.701 --> 34:40.038
I don't care. I really don't. I...

34:41.123 --> 34:43.166
And I don't know why
I ever listened to you.

34:44.209 --> 34:45.335
- Mirab, wait!
- Mirab.

34:45.419 --> 34:46.420
Okay, I'll go.

35:09.109 --> 35:10.569
What do you think, commander?

35:12.279 --> 35:14.573
Half a dozen guards, likely more within.

35:15.157 --> 35:16.408
A number we can handle.

35:16.491 --> 35:19.119
And yet far fewer
than a target like this deserves.

35:21.747 --> 35:23.081
Take your positions.

36:07.918 --> 36:11.088
How long do you think
it will take them to forget all about me?

36:13.966 --> 36:15.259
That is not possible.

36:16.760 --> 36:18.178
Tell me something.

36:21.765 --> 36:24.935
What is it about me
that makes me so unchoosable?

36:28.146 --> 36:30.357
Because that's what life has taught me.

36:31.441 --> 36:33.694
Again and again.

36:37.406 --> 36:38.657
Why did I try?

36:42.202 --> 36:44.454
Everybody else gets what they want.

36:46.039 --> 36:49.209
Even Eshbaal and you.

36:50.169 --> 36:52.796
You didn't even want to get married.

36:53.881 --> 36:54.965
Here you are.

37:02.014 --> 37:04.766
Come away from there.
You're shivering. Come.

37:05.434 --> 37:06.435
Mirab.

37:09.771 --> 37:10.772
Come.

37:13.275 --> 37:14.276
Come.

37:14.985 --> 37:19.656
I have already mourned my father.
Please don't make me mourn you too.

37:37.382 --> 37:38.717
I'm sorry.

37:42.763 --> 37:44.932
I'm so tired.

37:58.403 --> 37:59.780
- I need a drink.
- Ah, Eliab.

37:59.863 --> 38:01.823
- My prince. Eshbaal.
- Ah. Welcome.

38:01.907 --> 38:04.743
- I'd like to congratulate your brother.
- Ah, yes. To both of them.

38:05.786 --> 38:06.954
Something is wrong.

38:07.037 --> 38:08.997
Why are you not with David?

38:09.790 --> 38:11.166
Abner did not send me.

38:15.796 --> 38:18.590
Why would father send him off
without any of his men?

38:21.969 --> 38:22.970
Joab?

38:25.264 --> 38:26.265
Leave it with me.

38:44.032 --> 38:45.033
Joab.

38:48.745 --> 38:50.789
Is this a bat?

38:50.873 --> 38:51.874
It was.

38:52.791 --> 38:54.668
And where do you keep your pigeons?

39:00.716 --> 39:01.717
I saw you.

39:05.429 --> 39:07.931
I was simply freeing one of my birds.

39:08.432 --> 39:10.434
Sometimes I spare one.

39:10.517 --> 39:13.812
It makes me feel less, uh, heathen.

39:17.191 --> 39:21.195
Steady now. Let's not do something
we will come to regret.

39:21.278 --> 39:24.573
You sent a note
just as David left the palace.

39:24.656 --> 39:26.950
To who, and what about?

39:27.034 --> 39:32.372
Knowing will only drag you into
something you are best not to understand.

39:40.464 --> 39:42.716
Tell me now, Edomite.

39:43.550 --> 39:46.970
I know you hold a candle
for Princess Mychal.

39:48.180 --> 39:52.059
Allow events to unfold as they will,

39:53.727 --> 39:55.979
and you will come to thank me in the end.

39:59.983 --> 40:02.069
Did you tell David he could marry me?

40:03.028 --> 40:04.738
Lower your voice, Mychal.

40:04.821 --> 40:05.948
Did you?

40:07.199 --> 40:08.283
I did.

40:10.202 --> 40:12.663
He is first proving his worth.

40:12.746 --> 40:16.917
Proving his worth?
A-After everything he's done?

40:17.000 --> 40:18.836
Mind your tongue, Mychal.

40:18.919 --> 40:22.172
Why must you always hurt the ones
most loyal to you?

40:23.340 --> 40:26.218
Yes, David loves me,
but he also loves you.

40:27.010 --> 40:28.762
He would do anything for you.

40:28.846 --> 40:30.264
And...

40:31.306 --> 40:32.474
...where is he?

40:33.600 --> 40:35.227
Father, where have you sent him?

40:39.690 --> 40:40.691
Let's go!

40:53.078 --> 40:55.789
- Yes?
- My prince. Apologies.

40:55.873 --> 40:57.082
Joab.

40:57.165 --> 41:00.878
It is about David.
I believe he is in trouble.

41:02.296 --> 41:03.297
Go.

41:16.518 --> 41:20.439
It's hard to breathe.
Something's not right here.

41:21.315 --> 41:22.316
Check the guards.

41:23.483 --> 41:26.862
If only the guards remain,
why is the fire still burning?

41:27.446 --> 41:28.614
I don't know.

41:28.697 --> 41:30.824
Wait! It's a trap!

41:31.992 --> 41:33.368
Take cover!

41:39.958 --> 41:41.710
Burn them alive.

41:47.007 --> 41:48.425
Leaving so soon?

41:51.303 --> 41:52.554
My queen.

41:53.722 --> 41:55.057
I was not feeling well.

41:55.849 --> 41:56.850
Oh.

41:58.101 --> 41:59.436
That is a shame.

42:01.230 --> 42:03.398
You seemed to be enjoying yourself.

42:04.316 --> 42:05.734
Putting on quite...

42:08.904 --> 42:10.405
the display.

42:25.587 --> 42:27.548
He will grow tired of you.

42:29.591 --> 42:30.592
What then?

42:33.011 --> 42:35.889
Perhaps it is you he grows tired of.

42:57.619 --> 43:00.122
They closed all the exits.

43:00.205 --> 43:03.876
Move! They knew we were coming.
We've been betrayed.

43:03.959 --> 43:06.044
We're going to burn alive in here, commander.

43:10.048 --> 43:12.176
Help me move the jars
to the door!

43:12.259 --> 43:13.552
But that's our only way out!

43:14.761 --> 43:16.180
- David.
- I know.

43:16.763 --> 43:18.473
We fight fire with fire.

43:18.557 --> 43:23.604
Push! Push! Push! Push!

43:29.651 --> 43:31.945
- Brothers, it is me they are after.
- They're coming.

43:32.571 --> 43:36.158
If we survive this,
I will draw them to the front gate.

43:36.241 --> 43:38.160
Then scatter and save yourselves.

43:39.161 --> 43:41.413
- Ready?
- Yes, David.

43:49.713 --> 43:54.301
Go! Move! Move! Split up!

43:59.848 --> 44:04.102
There he is! Over here!
Kill David! Get him!

44:55.362 --> 44:56.363
Seize him!

45:00.784 --> 45:03.871
Dagonor, wait! Dagonor!

45:21.263 --> 45:22.514
Stand down.

45:24.224 --> 45:26.059
I will finish him myself.

46:10.395 --> 46:11.730
Should I help him?

46:11.813 --> 46:12.814
No.

46:14.107 --> 46:15.359
Let the gods decide.

46:41.134 --> 46:42.928
My king, let me finish this.

46:48.016 --> 46:49.935
Hashem? The name?

46:50.018 --> 46:53.063
- The god of gods.
- Is he? And there can be no other?

46:53.146 --> 46:54.481
We need no other.

46:57.067 --> 46:59.111
My king. He's only one man.

47:00.737 --> 47:04.116
But their god
is now with him, not with Saul.

47:05.075 --> 47:08.078
Giant slayer! Your king betrayed you!

47:09.746 --> 47:11.415
Why do you fight for him?

47:13.917 --> 47:15.752
Seize him! All of you!

47:40.152 --> 47:42.362
Captain. Signal retreat.

47:47.326 --> 47:49.328
Fall back! Retreat!

47:49.411 --> 47:51.747
Fall back! Retreat!

47:53.081 --> 47:56.084
Retreating! They're retreating!

48:55.644 --> 48:56.854
My king.

49:00.691 --> 49:02.276
The Philistine Forge is no more.

49:03.652 --> 49:05.612
Burned to the ground as promised.

49:06.321 --> 49:10.576
But we suffered many losses
because they knew we were coming.

49:10.659 --> 49:12.744
Someone in this house has betrayed us.

49:13.537 --> 49:14.997
And the Philistines?

49:15.914 --> 49:18.458
Did you slay 100 as I commanded?

49:18.542 --> 49:19.710
No.

49:23.046 --> 49:24.590
I slayed 200.

49:26.800 --> 49:28.177
It is true.

49:28.260 --> 49:31.597
I will have Mychal's hand in marriage,

49:31.680 --> 49:34.057
and I expect your announcement tomorrow.

49:35.350 --> 49:38.645
It will be done as promised.

49:55.746 --> 49:58.081
Where is my wife?

50:09.551 --> 50:10.552
David?

50:11.637 --> 50:14.139
David. David.

50:14.223 --> 50:16.350
David.

50:17.267 --> 50:21.396
David.

50:22.189 --> 50:23.941
- What happened?
- Mychal.

50:24.024 --> 50:25.776
Mychal.

50:27.361 --> 50:28.362
Marry me.

50:32.491 --> 50:34.952
Yes. Yes.

50:54.555 --> 50:56.098
The plan was sound.

50:56.181 --> 50:58.225
You have made him more powerful than ever!

50:58.308 --> 51:02.729
No. You have done that yourself,
despite my warnings.

51:03.313 --> 51:05.732
I see it now.

51:07.776 --> 51:09.152
It is so clear to me.

51:10.153 --> 51:11.989
You are my curse.

51:14.908 --> 51:16.118
Curse?

51:17.077 --> 51:19.246
Everything I have done,
I have done for you.

51:20.205 --> 51:24.126
I brought a priestess
into our home to save you.

51:24.209 --> 51:28.839
I banished my own son to protect you.

51:28.922 --> 51:32.718
You are a vile woman.
Your every word is darkness!

51:32.801 --> 51:36.263
And you are a weak and insecure man

51:36.346 --> 51:39.266
who needs a servant girl
to make him feel like a king!

51:39.349 --> 51:43.478
May God forgive me for ever listening
to a single word you have said!

51:46.190 --> 51:50.110
God? You don't worship God.

51:50.944 --> 51:54.948
You worship yourself.
And we are the ones judged for it.

51:55.449 --> 51:57.993
I see why you cling to that shepherd boy.

51:58.952 --> 52:01.705
Because deep in your heart,
you know the truth,

52:01.788 --> 52:04.750
the same truth that Samuel spoke.

52:04.833 --> 52:10.047
The words that made the king of Israel
cower and sob in his bed.

52:11.131 --> 52:16.303
You asked why I put the crown
on Eshbaal's head, that's why.

52:18.555 --> 52:21.183
Your reign is over, Saul.

52:23.685 --> 52:25.395
God has given up on you.

52:30.275 --> 52:31.360
Ahinoam!

52:33.362 --> 52:34.363
Attend to the king.

52:35.989 --> 52:37.115
Get away from me!

52:40.327 --> 52:41.954
Mother?

52:42.037 --> 52:44.122
Come here, Eshbaal!

52:44.206 --> 52:45.582
And I want you out!

52:46.208 --> 52:48.210
- I want you out of my sight!
- Father, stop! Stop it!

52:48.293 --> 52:50.504
Stop it, Father! Stop it! Stop!

52:50.587 --> 52:53.006
- Stop it, Father! Are you mad?
- Get away from me!

52:53.090 --> 52:54.466
I want you out!

52:55.926 --> 52:57.970
Out! Out of my life.

52:58.053 --> 52:59.638
- You are my traitor.
- Stop!

52:59.721 --> 53:01.181
Stop it!

53:01.265 --> 53:02.432
Stop, Father!

53:02.516 --> 53:06.854
Out! I want you out of this house!

53:08.689 --> 53:10.190
All is over!

53:29.501 --> 53:35.132
You have blasphemed against God,
and disgraced my kingdom!

53:36.884 --> 53:38.385
You are banished!

54:08.624 --> 54:10.292
Now you know how it feels...

54:13.754 --> 54:15.964
to be betrayed by those
who claim to love you.
