(dramatic music)
- Our father who is in heaven,
hallowed to be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done.
- on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation
and deliver us from evil.
- Hey.
(door shutting)
- Hello?
Anyone?
- [Recorder] Dear Theophilus.
(guards shouting)
[Temple Guard] Clear.
It's empty.
- No sign of the fisherman, sir.
He's not here.
- Move on, we keep moving.
(panting heavily)
- [Recorder] Clear, it's empty
They knew we'd come here.
- No sign of the fisherman
sir, he's not here.
- Move on, we keep looking
- He can't have gone far.
- The fisherman.
- Feeling lost, Luke?
- Magdalene, you, you
really scared me there.
I didn't hear you.
- Sorry, yeah.
I guess being lied in our face
is part of the job these days
and it's Mary, please.
- Oh, Mary, sorry.
Where is everyone?
- Oh, they'll be at the
next safe house.
We move after a raid like that.
I saw you headed in
this direction,
I just followed you, waited
for the guards to leave.
- Oh, right.
- Sorry, I guess they
didn't have time
to officially brief you
before Paul's arrest.
- Yeah, I guess not.
- Well, not to worry,
we're safe now
by God's grace, ah.
Let's go.
- To the next safe house?
- Yeah, we're just gonna make
a quick pit stop on the way.
- Wait, Mary, what pit stop?
- There's a small family
that I talked to
that wanna hear about him.
- But what about the raids?
It's too dangerous out there.
The most logical thing to do
is head to next safe house.
- But God chose the
foolish things of the world
to shame the wise.
God chose the weak things
of the world
to shame the strong.
Yeah, it's your Paul's,
it's making the rounds.
Listen Doc, ever since
I met Jesus,
there's been nothing but danger
and trouble practically
every day.
It can't have been that
much different,
you traveling here with Paul.
We're on a mission.
Jesus was very clear,
tell his story to all the world,
even a small gathering.
So that is what I'm going to do.
Are you coming?
- Can I take notes?
- Hi, welcome, come in.
- So, the brothers
do as Jesus says.
They put their nets down in
that water one last time.
Then suddenly, the boat
begins to tip.
Oh, and the nets begin to break.
They have caught so many fish,
they have to call their
friends over to help.
And ever since that day,
they decided to follow
Jesus like we do right now.
The end.
- Another story, another one!
- That's enough Benni,
sorry I know you have to go.
- No, that's okay.
Would you like to hear a story
that Jesus told us?
- Yes.
- Yeah? Let me think, oh, oh.
Now this one's a little
bit confusing
so you're going to have
to listen really closely.
There was once a sower
who sowed their seed.
Now, some of those seeds
fell on good ground,
some fell among thorns,
and some fell on shallow ground
while others fell along
the roadside.
- Excuse me.
Sorry to startle you,
but there's been a mess
with deliveries this morning
and I'm afraid that parcel
isn't for you.
- Yes, but...
- I know, I know, but as long
as you've not taken it inside,
this doesn't have
to be a problem.
- All right, good,
sure, thank you.
- No need to thank us,
just doing what we do.
You have a nice day now.
- You too.
(phone ringing)
- Hey babe, you haven't
sent me a present, have you?
- [Joy] Chantel?
- Joy? You all right?
- [Joy] He's left me.
- He hasn't.
- [Joy] I dunno, I dunno.
- Right, where are you?
- [Joy] I've gone to the club.
- Okay, stay there,
I'll be right over.
- Excuse me, sorry
to startle you.
There's been a mess up with
deliveries this morning
and I'm afraid to say
that parcel isn't for you.
- Oh no, this one's okay.
It's got my name on it.
- Sorry miss, I've been
asked to recover everything
that's been delivered
this morning.
- Well, then I'm gonna have
to talk to your supervisor.
What's their number?
- I'm afraid, that's
not possible.
He's out of the area
at the moment.
- Well, then have a nice day.
- To the single life.
A mysterious present.
- I know, I just heard
the doorbell ring
and there it was on my doormat.
- So what actually is it?
- I have not opened it yet.
- Sorry, I don't mean
to bother you,
but did you say you
got a random gift?
- Yeah, yeah, I did, why?
- I'm guessing you haven't
heard then.
- Heard what?
What's this?
- You really have to be
careful with stuff like this.
- Oh, my days.
- For what?
- [Mysterious Man] There's
been a string of these gifts
randomly left outside
people's houses
and they are dangerous.
Let's not hold back here.
- [Radio Presenter]
Oh, okay, okay.
For the sake of being
devil's advocate,
it can't be that bad.
- [Mysterious Man] I'm
afraid to say it is,
lives are at stake here.
- I'll get rid of it.
- You can't.
We've been advised not
to take them inside.
Contact the authorities
if you find them,
they'll remove it.
Do not take it inside.
- What can I do?
- You haven't opened it?
- No she hasn't.
- [Radio Presenter]
And what if someone has
taken it inside by
mistake, what can they do?
- Well, this is where
it gets tricky.
Go home, make sure no
one sees you and hide it.
Put it somewhere where you
forget you ever had it.
- The loft.
- Perfect.
And you have my word, I
won't tell another soul.
- [Mysterious Man] Don't
tell anyone you have it.
And most importantly,
whatever you do, do not open it.
- Thank you, thank you so much.
- No need to thank me.
Just doing what we do.
- Well, please join
me in thanking
our special guest this morning.
- [Mysterious Man] No need to
thank, just doing what we...
(phone ringing)
- Yeah, what?
Now?
Oh yeah, yeah, I know.
Just, I'll be right there.
- What's going on?
- I see what you mean
about his charm.
- Who is this?
- A consultant clearing
up your mess.
- Yesterday, you filed
important paperwork, correct?
- Yeah, what about it?
- Tell me this, how
did you fail to mention
the key witness of the defense?
No, that, that, that's
impossible, I didn't.
- I wouldn't if I were you,
trust me, she wanted you fired
but I think we all deserve
that second chance.
Don't you?
Look, I may have found
a way around this.
It's not a moment to lose.
So why don't you to shake
and make up, eh?
If all goes well, I'll ensure
you still make partner.
- Thank you, thank
you very much.
- No need to thank me,
just doing what we do.
Good book?
What, this, oh, this
is a, this is nothing.
- Good, let's not lose
sight of what's important.
- No, no, no time
for reading now.
- No time at all.
- [Voice On The Phone] Hello,
and thank you for calling.
How may we help you today?
- Hey, I don't,
sorry, I'm new to this.
- [Voice] That's not to worry.
You can take as long
as you need.
In the meantime, you can ask
any questions you might have...
- I'd like to order
more copies of the book.
I got sent one randomly
and I really think more
people need to read it.
- [Voice] That's fantastic
to hear, I completely agree.
And just between you and
me, it wasn't random.
- Oh no, it was... I guess not.
- [Voice] Okay, so how
many would you like?
60, 30?
- 100 if that's okay.
- [Voice] Perfect, that'll
be with you in three days.
- Great, my address is...
- [Voice] Don't worry, we know.
- Yeah, of course, sorry.
How much will that be then?
- [Voice] Again, don't
worry, it's paid for.
- Right, well thank you.
I guess that's it, have
a great evening.
- [Speaker] You too,
take care now.
(dramatic music)
- [PA Announcement] Attention.
The court of the Gentiles...
- Are you alright?
- I'm not used to all
this running and hiding,
it puts me on edge.
- Did you enjoy the
meeting though?
- Yeah, it was good
and nice of you to
include that story
for the children at the end.
- Oh, actually that was more
for the adults in the room.
- Really?
- Yeah, what did you make of it?
- Well, it was the sowing
and the seeds.
- The sowing of the seed,
you didn't understand it?
- No, I didn't.
- That's okay.
To be honest, we didn't
understand it
the first time he told it,
no, he had to explain it to
us afterwards in private.
- So wait, Jesus
would tell this story
to everyone?
- He told lots of stories.
He'd talk like that
all the time.
He'd leave half of his
listeners baffled,
enraged the ministers
and then leave us
to figure out what those
stories meant.
- But why?
- Why what?
- Why teach with stories?
Doesn't that make everything
confusing?
- You should know, right?
That's what you are
doing, writing his story.
- No, no, no, no.
This is for a friend back home.
A report, more of a
report, words, the facts.
- Okay, can I give
you some advice?
Facts are good.
And words, they can
impact a moment,
but a story, a really
good story,
that can change a life.
Come on, it's just
a bit further.
(door buzzing)
Way
- [PA] Truth.
- Life.
- (Door buzzes
- You have a warehouse, how?
- Generous donation from
the Barnabas family.
Have you met James before?
- As in Jesus' brother?
Yeah, briefly when
I first arrived.
- They're all waiting
in the council room.
James is getting worried.
- Understandably.
- Hi there, Zach.
- Luke, good to meet you.
- Just through there.
Should I? I am...
- [Mary] Yes.
- Everyone should evacuate
before the guard get there.
What about Ben's gathering?
- No word yet.
- Mary, glad to see you're okay.
- Any news on what
happened today?
- I'm still trying to
get a full picture,
but they hit us hard.
Four safe houses breached,
another 20 arrested.
- We've lost the majority
of the food banks
in the city center.
- Why now?
- They're probably
still riled up
from Paul's antics
at the Temple.
- No, that was days ago.
- Truth is, we don't know.
My contacts in the Ministerial
Council aren't responding.
Everything seems to be
in some kind of lockdown.
- It just doesn't
make any sense.
- Unless Paul's giving us up.
- He would never do that.
- It wouldn't be that
surprising, would it?
Given his history?
- Deborah, bringing up
people's history...
- James, the last time Paul
was here in this very room,
he almost split the church.
I'm sorry, but I still
don't trust the man.
- [Luke] It wasn't him.
- And you are?
- Sorry, hi.
- We've met, you traveled
with Paul,
came with him to the
capital last week.
- Luke.
- Of course, he's gonna say..
- Deborah, please.
Well, do you know
what's going on?
- Maybe.
When I was hiding,
I heard some of the Temple
Guards talking.
Sounded like they were searching
for someone in particular.
The fisherman.
- [Temple Guard 1]
Clear, it's empty.
They knew we would come here.
- [Temple Guard 2] No sign
of the fisherman, sir.
He's not here.
- [Temple Guard 1] Move
on and keep looking,
he can't have gone far.
- If he's here, we need to know.
Mary, make contact with
the remaining safe houses,
see if they know anything,
find him.
- Do you want me to come with?
- You'll stay here, Luke.
- Yeah, I'll see you again
God willing, take care.
James, keep it up, don't
forget to eat.
- Deborah, you and I
need to go with strategy
for replenishing food supply.
David you're on lookout tonight.
And Luke, welcome.
Zach will show you where
you're staying.
Try and get a few
hours of sleep.
You never know what God
has planned for tomorrow.
- I dunno what I'm doing.
Everyone here seems
so confident...
Sorry, I didn't know
if anyone was up here.
- Not to worry, just on lookout.
I made some coffee
if you want some.
- No, it's alright, thanks.
I'll leave you to it.
- Join me, I insist.
- I thought David was
on watch tonight.
- It's been a long day.
He could use the break.
Here you go.
Couldn't sleep?
- Something like that.
- Anything I can help with?
- Well, I could use
a comfier bed.
No, just homesick, I think.
- Luke, I've been doing
this a long time.
You're side stepping, tell me.
- Look, to be honest James,
I don't know what
I'm doing here.
I came up this way with Paul
for him to get himself arrested.
I thought I could
use this time to
get to know everyone here,
learn more about Jesus,
write this thing for
someone back home.
It's just not that simple.
- Tell me why do you think God
might have brought you here?
What's he trying to give you?
- Give me, what do you mean?
- It's like this,
God gives to us freely
and the enemy will try and
take what was given away.
Our job is to understand
what we have received.
- The sower.
- I'm guessing Mary?
She loves those parables.
- What about the one
who does understand,
in the story I mean.
- Well, they spread
the good news
of what has been given
a multiply.
Maybe that's why you were here.
- (Radio beeps)
I remember Paul introduced
you as a doctor.
I'm guessing that's of language.
- Medicine.
- Oh, wow.
I guess this wasn't quite the
life you're expecting then.
- No, it wasn't.
To be honest, traveling
with Paul,
I really do miss a good bed.
- Yeah.
- I miss my house, my job,
to be honest,
there's quite a few
things I do miss.
What about you?
Do you ever regret not
going a different way,
making some money, buying
a place in one of those?
- Yeah, sometimes.
- Really?
- Who wouldn't?
But what good is it for
someone to gain the world
and yet forfeit their very self?
- Sorry, I don't quite...
- When you look out
there, what do you see?
- Tall buildings, lights,
glamor, I guess.
- Likewise, look closer.
What do you imagine,
I don't know, between
the buildings?
- People.
Staying in bed or getting
ready for work,
walking in the streets.
- Exactly.
Always surrounded by
the promise of wealth,
the glitz and the glamor,
working every day
to either provide
or strive for a better life.
Thinking wealth is the answer.
There was one young woman
who thought the very same.
(dramatic music)
- Watch it.
- Lacey, are you all right?
- I'm a mess, but I'm fine.
- Some people live
on the ground,
but them heads are
in the clouds.
You're gonna go home
and get changed?
- I can't, I'm gonna be late,
I'm gonna be late.
Bill, when did this happen?
- Well, weekend.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's not over yet Lacey.
- Sorry.
- So, the last interview
didn't go well?
- Yeah, or the one before that.
I dunno what it is with
me and interviews.
They just don't seem to like me.
- Oh, redundancy's tough, okay?
Don't be so hard on yourself.
- Yeah, I can't help it.
Family trauma and all of that.
That was a joke.
- Right, well look,
fingers crossed for
your interview tomorrow.
Okay? It's a good one,
I hope they like you.
Erm, Lacey, I wanted to...
- I'd love to.
- Sorry?
- What?
- I, erm, I wanted
to give you this.
I know your birthday's
coming up and...
- Thank you.
- It's just something we
do at the office, you know?
No big deal so...
- I'll open it on my birthday.
I'll see you next week?
- Good day?
- How's Aisha?
- Well, she's tired,
she's moody,
and she's obsessed with
peanut butter.
- Hey Mrs. Jackson.
- Bill gimme the number seven.
- And for you Lacey?
- Two, please.
- So the owners have
decided to sell this place.
- The whole building
and we can't afford to
buy it from them.
So I dunno what's gonna
happen with the business.
- I dunno why the new owners
won't just let you
run it as it is.
- Well, that's what we're hoping
but the way things
are around here.
- They're driving the
community out.
- You know, they're making
Tim's Butchers a coffee shop.
- Pryor Street is
becoming offices.
- Oh, maybe one of them
will give me a job, sorry.
- Don't you worry, I'm
gonna sort it all out.
- The amount of money you spend
on your lucky deeds Mrs.
Jackson over the years.
- Don't you doubt me.
I'm gonna change the world.
Lacey, any plans for
your birthday?
- No.
- You got to do something.
- Do you want anything?
- Just some of the millions.
- Cheeky from day
one, this girl.
Bill, keep the change.
- Mrs. Jackson.
- Yes dear.
- You dropped this?
- On the house.
- No, no, no.
- No arguments.
- Thank you.
(phone alarm)
Happy birthday to me.
You got this Lacey.
- Ms Kazeem?
- Hi, yeah, hi.
(all cheering)
- [Mrs. Jackson] Lacey?
- Today might be our lucky day.
- Oh, Mrs. Jackson, I can't.
- Take it.
And you can put that
away in the fridge.
(door buzzing)
- I'll get it.
Hey.
Everyone, this is David.
- Hey David.
- Hello David.
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for inviting me.
- I'm really glad you came.
- Oh, Lacey, you have
a boyfriend.
Oh, Lacey.
- Come on, sit down.
Lacey's got a boyfriend
- Half time is lottery time.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
(TV changes to lottery channel)
So...
- So?
- I actually have been,
I was wondering if maybe
you'd like to...
go out sometime, you know,
like a birthday meal
or something.
That's just something we do
at the office, no big deal.
- I'd love that actually.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Lacey
Happy birthday to you
(all applauding)
- Go on Lacey.
- I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
- Yay!.
- Looks like you ended up
with a pretty good family.
- 46...
- Despite all the trauma.
- [Speaker] 12, 07,
and this week's bonus number 39.
- So did you win?
- Lacey, hi, me again.
Look, I keep missing
you when I call.
I just want to check in, really,
on you. Been a while.
Look, I know you don't need
your job seekers allowance
anymore,
but, I know things
are different now.
Okay? I just hope not
too different.
Give me a call back.
- We've made appropriate
investments
with mutual funds.
- Watch it.
- Continue.
- As I was saying, Ms Kazeem,
we've invested into mutual
funds, stocks, ETFs.
There's plenty of scope more.
What about more property?
(upbeat music)
(door bell)
- Come on in.
David.
Sorry, I was expecting
someone else.
- Did think you let me
in quite quickly.
You look nice.
- Oh, thanks, yeah, I'm
going to a Gala,
raising money for children
in India.
Oh, sorry for not returning
your calls.
How did you find where I live?
- This house was all
over the news
and I was in the area
so I thought, you know,
sorry, it seems a bit weird now.
- No, it's fine, it's
just, I have to go soon.
- Of course, look, I
don't wanna take up
too much of your time, okay?
Look, this probably seems
a bit random and you know,
there's no easy way
to go about it,
but we were friends before.
- I have a boyfriend.
- Right, well, that's good.
- He's really quite impressive.
He's a CEO, he's got
his life together.
He's a really good
fit for me, sorry.
I just thought you'd
be over what we,
what you thought we had.
- I'm not here to ask
you out on a date Lacey.
- Oh, good.
- I'm here for Bill and Aisha
and their kids.
- I hope you don't mind if
I clean while we catch up
'cause the new owners
are coming in today
and we've been cleaning
through the night.
- Bill, I'm the owner.
I bought the place.
I own the building.
- Oh my goodness,
thank you Lacey.
- No Bill, I'm not being clear.
I'm turning this place
into flats.
- I don't understand.
- Okay.
- He's been meeting me at
the Job Seeker's Office.
They're really struggling
and he's hurt.
- I tried to give him money.
Don't think that
I'm not grateful
for all of your help,
I really am.
And I'm gonna pay you back.
This should cover
all the chicken
and maybe get the kids
whatever game they're
playing these days.
- You took their home
and their income Lacey.
I think it would really
help you know
if you just spoke to
them and explained.
- I'll write the check and
you can give it to them.
- No.
- They're hurt, Lacey.
- It's nothing personal.
- Nothing personal.
Lacey I...
This community.
We looked after you...
with everything,
with your job, with
your mom and dad.
- I don't wanna talk about them.
If you don't mind, we'll
have to do this another time.
You're talking to me about
helping others.
This event is gonna
raise so much money
for children in Africa.
- You mean India?
- Yes David, bye.
- Have you spoke to anyone
from your birthday since
you won the lottery?
Why?
Look, I know you have
money now, okay?
But when I was at that party,
that flat was so full
of life and love.
Those people loved you Lacey.
- Those people were
gonna die poor
just like my mom and dad.
I never wanted to be like them.
I never asked to be like them.
Every day it was just
the same thing,
bus stop, chicken shop,
I can't, I got out.
- Oh, Lacey.
- I got out.
- You were richer before.
(door banging)
(door bell ringing)
- I'm coming.
(door bell ringing)
I'm coming.
- Did you know her?
- Who?
- The woman?
- Oh no, no, no.
That was just a story Jesus
told a group of ministers
who kept pestering
him about money.
He told them where their
treasure was,
their hearts were also.
- Ouch.
- Yeah, I don't think they
were too happy about it.
Did Jesus like telling
stories? As a kid, I mean?
- Not particularly more
than anyone else
as far as I can remember.
Our mom would tell us
stories of King David, Noah,
and he'd just listen and
smile like the rest of us.
- [Radio] Code 12-47,
code 12-47.
- Come on!
- What's happened?
- There's been a perimeter
breach,
we need to leave now.
- (in to radio) Me and
Luke heading down now.
(alarm blaring)
- My journal...
Luke come on.
- I need my journal.
- Wait, there's no time.
- I can't leave it.
- Come on, come on, we gotta go.
(power surge)
(door slams)
(slow creaking sound)
(chain rattling)
(metal clanging)
- FREEZE!
- Please, please, please.
(Simon laughing)
Who's that?
- How many times do
I have to tell you?
It's not funny.
- What's going on?
- Did he scare you?
I'm sorry.
You can be ridiculous sometimes.
- False alarm, thank God.
It was two of our own.
Luke, meet Susanna, one of
Jesus' earliest followers.
- Nice to meet you Luke.
- I see you've already
met famous Simon Zealotes,
one of the 12.
- The Zealots are
getting restless,
and after the raids
today, I'm not sure
how much longer they'll
hold off.
They were raided too.
- The Temple Guard don't
distinguish them
from followers of The Way.
- The Zealots?
- They call themselves
freedom fighters,
but they're more like armed
nationalists, extremists.
- Yeah, I know who they
are I just don't get...
- If they retaliate, we
need to keep the city safe.
- There's another meeting
tomorrow night but
they're spooked
but we came here in hope
of some answers.
So what happened today?
- This young man overheard
the Temple Guard say
they'd spotted the fishermen
in the city.
- Do we know if they caught him?
- Sent Mary out to
investigate, nothing yet.
- No news is good news.
- Exactly.
Might not have actually
been him for we all we know.
- It was him.
- How are you so sure?
- He was due to meet Barnabas
today in the capital.
- Barnabas?
- Wait he's back?
- Arrived with his companion
four days ago, he's not well,
a high fever and some
injuries that need looking at.
They've been staying
at my house.
- We need to get back there
and explain to them what's
happened here.
Look, sorry, short
visit but God willing...
- I'll come with you.
- Luke?
I'm a doctor maybe I can help
Barnabas, see what's wrong
unless you have any objections.
- Simon, Susanna?
- The more the merrier.
- It's settled.
Look at that, he's
already packed.
- So this is how you
manage to avoid being seen?
- Old sewer system, runs
under the entire city.
- There aren't many that
know about them.
- And those that do either
don't know their way around
or are far too self
respecting to wade through...
(splash)
...whatever it is you imagine
you just waded through.
- I didn't wanna think
about that.
- Do you mind if I ask?
The zealous, what
is it they want?
- Well, they say freedom, but...
- They want their nation's
independence back.
Whatever the cost.
- Assassinations, riots,
you name it.
- So why do you go
to their meetings?
- Well, someone has
to reach them.
- And they listen to what
you have to say?
- They listen to Simon.
- How come?
- I used to be one
back in the day.
- A zealot?
- Yeah.
- You were an extremist
when he followed Jesus?
- No, no.
I was when he called me
but after I followed him,
it just wasn't part
of me anymore.
- I still don't understand
why you'd go back to them.
- To tell them about Jesus.
- But the things they do,
they're relentless on feeling.
- And so was I till I
saw the bigger picture
but if we can get through to
them, if they can know him,
like I know him, then
not only will a lot of
other lives be saved
but theirs will be too.
- So you think everyone
will change?
- I think anyone can.
- None of us are the same
since following The Way
and through him we
do the impossible.
We love those different to us
as we love ourselves,
we see those whose ideals
and notions are a world away
and we love them as if
we were their neighbor.
- Their neighbor?
What does that mean?
- It means sometimes it hurts
to love the way Jesus
asks us to.
- I don't understand.
- Susanna, do me a favor.
Tell him that story that
Jesus told the lawyer.
- What? Now?
- Yeah, it might distract
us from the smell.
- Shall I record this?
I'm gonna record this.
- There was once a man
on a certain journey.
- Alight James, you
coming tonight?
- Not here.
- Not ever.
- See you at midnight.
(distant chatter)
- Sweet man over a
chick, you know?.
How many fingers have I got?
- Don't know, five?
(group laughs)
- You know he likes
you though, innit?
- You're good.
Sweet man, look at you bruv.
What's wrong with you?
Over a chick you know?
- Tay, check it out.
- Hey white power, you lost?
I don't think you got that.
Turn around.
- What does he think
he's playing at?
- Oh, I get it.
I don't think he understands us.
Is that right?
Is my accent too hard
for you blood?
- Tay, I think you're
in his way you know.
- Mm, silly me.
I'll tell you what,
if you ask nicely, man
might let him through. Well?
- Let me through.
- Pretty sure he said
nicely mate.
- You people, you don't
wanna mess with me.
- You wanna repeat that blood?
- Move.
- What?
- Is that?
- That's James.
- James?
- We don't wanna attract
any attention, not here.
- Yeah, I know, but it's
James and he's hurt.
- Go another way.
- And what, leave him?
- If you wanna end up like him,
be my guest.
Come on.
- Hello? Are you okay?
Can you hear me, who
did this to you?
Okay, save your strength
and stay awake.
I'm gonna call an ambulance,
all right?
- No police.
- Okay, no police.
Let's try and get you sitting
up, I think it will...
I don't need help...
Not from people like you.
- My name is Jabari.
What's your name?
If I don't, it will
get infected.
This will sting.
You need help.
- No police.
- I know, I know.
I have a friend who's a doctor.
She can help.
- I'm not going anywhere with...
- If you don't get help,
you will die.
I'll drive you.
(phone ringing)
- [Claire] Hey Jabari,
are you okay?
- Claire, I need your help.
Someone is very hurt and I'm
bringing them to you now.
- [Claire] Don't be
ridiculous, you can't just...
- I'm not joking.
Please, Claire.
- I'll get the spare room ready.
- Thank you.
- You're going to be okay,
just hanging there.
- How is he?
- He'll be okay, a few cracked
ribs but nothing's broken.
I'm gonna take the next
couple of days off work,
watch over him, just to check
there's no complications.
- I'm sorry, why don't you
take this to cover the cost?
- I didn't mean that
you, Jabari.
- I know, enough, please just,
if there's anything you
need just let me know.
- Thank you.
- It's okay, can I see
him before I go?
- He's awake.
- Claire will be looking after
you over the next few days
but I'll be back tomorrow.
- James.
My name's James.
- Good to meet you James.
- Thank you.
- So who do you think
is the man's neighbor?
- The one who helped him.
- And so we do the same,
no matter what we may
think of the other.
- That's hard.
- Yeah, it is.
Come on, we've got
a long way to go.
- It's just us, no need to hide.
- I don't know you.
- This is Luke.
He's a doctor.
He's here to help.
- I've heard that before.
- Calm down.
He's a companion of Paul's.
Luke, meet John.
- You know Paul?
- Yeah.
I came to the city
with him, you?
I traveled with him
too for a little while.
- Well, practically makes
us brothers in arms.
Nice to meet you John.
- Mark. Most people
call me John Mark.
- We need to see
Barnabas, alone.
- What are you writing?
- Oh, nothing, notes.
- Medical?
- Oh no, these are stories.
- What? Like children's stories?
- Kind of, I guess.
Yeah, they're all part
of a bigger narrative.
These are the, well, some
of the stories Jesus told
to teach, explain, I don't know.
But he told them so
I'm writing them.
- So you are writer as well?
- Oh no, I mean, this is
meant to be more of...
- Can I read it?
- Luke, Susanna and
I need to head off.
So can you go and look
at Barnabas. He's...
- He's not well.
Don't let his happy-go-lucky
attitude fool you.
- Of course and best of luck
with your meeting tonight.
- As God wills.
- As God wills.
(shallow breathing)
- Oh, here he is,
the famous, Dr. Luke.
- Well, I wouldn't say that
but it's an honor to
finally meet you Barnabas.
I've heard so much about you.
- Oh, not everything, I hope.
Although knowing Paul,
it probably would be.
- All good things, I assure you.
- Oh, well then he left
out all the fun bits.
(laughs, then coughs)
- Sorry.
- Not at all, nothing
to be sorry about, okay?
- Yeah.
- So, any ideas why
we're not feeling 100%?
- On our last mission stop,
things didn't go quite to plan.
I thought I was over it,
but my foot hasn't quite
healed yet and
things have gotten worse.
- Do you mind if I take a look?
Yeah, it's definitely your foot,
leaving it this long has
left you with an infection.
Good thing is it's treatable
but I am gonna have to
cut into it and drain it.
- Whatever we need
to do Doc, I'm in.
- Good because I don't
have any anesthetic
and I'm gonna need a
sharp kitchen Kn*fe.
- Would any of these do?
- Perfect.
Thank you.
You staying?
- No, I'll just be outside
if you need me though.
- Some people just aren't cut
out for the operating room.
- Quite, God has made him for
something entirely different
and truly special.
He's why we are here.
- How do you mean?
- We came back to the
capital to meet with Peter.
He wants to take John
Mark under his wing.
- Wait, Peter as in...
- Simon Peter, one
of the 12, yes.
- He's the fisherman.
- Well, he was a fisherman, yes.
Oh, you mean that codename
of sorts?
Yes, that's him.
The ministers thought
it clever to try
and hide who they were
talking about,
but well, we thought
it rather obvious.
Right, let's get this
over, shall we Doc?
Are you ready?
- Of course, yes.
Sorry, I'm ready.
So this is probably gonna
hurt a fair bit.
Best thing to do is keep
yourself distracted,
keep talking, all right?
- Oh yeah, about what?
- I don't know, know any of
the stories that Jesus told?
- Yes, yes.
- Great, pick one of those
and go with it. Quickly.
- Okay, right, good, yes.
- The kingdom of heaven
is like a man who found a
treasure hidden in a field.
- Well how much does
he want for it?
- It's not as simple as that.
There wasn't a number.
- What do you mean?
- He said however much
I think it's worth,
not a penny more,
not a penny less.
- What did you tell him?
- Ouch!
- Keep going, you've
got this, okay?
You might need to stretch
the story out a bit.
We got a long way to go.
- Morning hun.
- Look what Nana found.
- Oh, wow, is that for me?
- No.
- It must be for your sister.
What do you think Shay?
- Stop being silly, it's for me.
- Oh, all right then.
- Come on you, let's
get you to school.
Maybe give that a wash.
- Bye dad.
- See you.
- I'm not sure you've ever
been able to surprise me yet.
- There's no way you could
have known about this place.
- Okay, you got me.
You surprised me today,
well done.
- For surprise number two.
Bet you weren't expecting
that were you?
You like it?
- It's beautiful.
- I just want to say thank you.
You made me a better person.
You're my best friend.
And you've managed those
two annoying little rascals.
I love you.
- I love you too.
Never stop surprising Mathew.
- To new adventures.
- To new adventures.
- Hello there, how are you?
- Can't complain.
- And yet we do.
- Yeah, very true.
- So what can I do
for you today?
- Bit of a weird question.
Do you know who owns the
field over there?
- Yes, I do, me.
Pretty much everything
you can see around here
belongs to me,
including there's pretty
little tractor
as I'm sure you'll agree.
- Yeah, it's a very
attractive tractor.
Sorry about the field.
- It's for sale.
- I'm sorry?
- The field and everything
in it, it's for sale.
That's what you wanted
to hear, wasn't it?
- Yes it is.
Have you had much
interest already?
- Well, I'd say there was
much interest from you,
isn't there?
- Yeah.
How much do you think
of selling it for?
- Tell you what?
Why don't you pay me
what you think it's worth
and if I agree then it's yours.
- What I think is worth?
- And not a penny more,
and not a penny less.
- We need to talk.
- What did you tell him?
- Nothing yet.
- We need to be together
on this.
- Can I see it?
- We'll go tomorrow.
- Not a penny more
or a penny less?
- That's what he said.
- Then give it to him.
- What?
- Everything.
- Where are we going?
- We're buying a field
a few miles from here.
- A field?
We're not even going
to have a house?
- No, not at first, but
eventually we'll build.
- And your granddad's
lending us as caravan
until we're on our feet again.
- Why?
- What do you mean why Jamie?
- Like why?
Did you do something stupid?
- No, no, no, it's
nothing like that.
We found something there.
Something that makes
this all worthwhile.
- What?
- It's hard to explain.
- Don't treat me like a kid.
- We're not treating
you like a kid.
We're trying to discuss
this as a family.
Look, you're gonna have
to trust us on this.
- No, I don't.
- Jay?
- Beautiful, how much
do you want for it?
What I need is your signature
just here to complete the sale.
- Sure.
- Completely furnished, what
you see is what you get.
- Still remember moving in
on the day of the wedding.
- Don't you start.
- Why are we leaving?
- I promise, you what comes
next it's gonna be more
than you can ever imagine.
- But I didn't want more.
- Neither did we until we
saw it, trust us sweetheart.
- Come on.
- [Matt] Hi there! We're back.
- Ah hello again!
- What can I do for you today?
- We'd like to make
you an offer.
- Oh, certainly.
- Sold.
And you'll be wanting
the deeds I assume.
- Thank you.
But, I never told you my name.
- Oh, I always make
it a priority
to know the names of those
I'm doing business with
and those I'm not.
- By the way, we
found something.
- I know exactly what's
in my fields.
Who do you think put
it there for you?
- Thank you.
- Why did you want
so much for it?
- Sorry?
- Why did you ask for so much?
It cost us everything.
- My dear child, I only asked
what they thought it was worth.
Then I'd decide if it was
enough or if it was too much.
As it happens, it was
exactly right.
- And for what? A field.
- I think you should
go and have a look
and if you're not happy,
just let me know.
- Jay, come on, come on.
- What can I do for
you young sir?
- It wasn't everything.
Now, it is.
- Now, it is.
- Take one of these
three times a day
for the next couple of weeks,
you'll be right as rain.
- Oh, good, all done then?
- All done.
You'll need to keep off
that foot for a while.
It's not exactly gonna
be a comfy walk.
That story, it's like
yours, isn't it?
- How so?
- Well, from what I've heard,
you gave everything you
had away to the church
when it first began, everything.
Even when it was hardly more
than a few thousand people,
everyone thought were going mad.
You gave it all away for...
- The kingdom.
- Right.
- Paul, didn't spend much time
talking about the
kingdom, did he?
Don't let him fool you.
It's only because he's
so busy growing it.
- I made us some food.
- Told you he were special.
- [Barnabas] Our father
who is in heaven,
hallowed would be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
Lead us, not into temptation
and deliver us from evil.
- [Temple Guard] We have
you surrounded.
- Run, Simon run.
- After him.
- Barnabas, are you okay?
- Get your things.
- What?
- There isn't much time.
They're coming.
- Who is?
- The Temple Guard, the
zealots were found last night
and they've taken Susanna.
They'll be here next,
now get your things.
- But what about Simon
and the others?
- Get your things Mark.
At the back of the garden,
there's a door onto the street.
Keep moving and keep him safe.
- What about you?
- Speed is not on my side.
The least I can do is
buy you some time.
Mark, let's go.
Run and find Peter.
- Peter? How?
I don't, I dunno how to...
- He will guide you,
- Mark?
- No, God, but you
have to listen,
listen for his voice.
Run.
- [Temple Guard] By order
of High-Minister Ananias,
final warning, open the door.
- This way, this way.
- They're making their
way over the bridge.
- [Barnabas] But you
have to listen.
Listen for his voice.
Not in the wind, not in
the quakes, nor the fire...
but in a gentle whisper.
- Luke?
- This way, come on.
- This way.
- That way.
- No Luke. That's toward
the city center.
- Trust me.
- Wait.
- What?
- I don't know.
We just need to wait.
- Follow me.
- Come on.
- Thank you.
Did Barnabas send you?
- No.
- What?
Who are you?
How'd you know where we'd be?
- The same way you knew to
wait where you were meant to.
- Peter.
- Mark.
It's so good to see you son.
- You must be Luke.
Mary said to expect you.
- She found you.
- I certainly did, but
stubborn as always
he refused to leave the city
until he got where he came for.
- Where were you?
We waited for you for four
days and you never came.
And now we've left Barnabas.
- I'm sorry Mark.
I tried to get to both of you,
but there were so many
guards, more than usual.
I was spotted, I am sorry.
- Why was security so tight?
- High Minister Ananias
was on the move
heading North to Governor Felix
to speak against Paul.
- Paul?
You know where he is?
- He's been kept under
guard in Herod's Compound.
- Has he been sentenced?
- I dunno, but knowing Paul,
he's probably making
the most of it
and preaching to anyone
who will hear.
- And those that won't.
- I have no doubt.
- So what's the plan?
- For now we rest up.
Wait until tomorrow for
the search parties to clear
then we get outta the capital.
We head west to the shores.
I have some friends
in a small port,
we'll get a boat from there.
- Okay you, come on
let me take a look.
No, no arguing, come
on lemme see.
- You're hurt.
- Like I said, I was spotted.
- Well, they've stood up.
I mean, you're alright, but
less of that running next time.
- Some nice stitch work there.
- Yeah, I'm used to patching
up the boys.
- You are a doctor, Luke?
- Yeah, yeah, I am.
- He's also a writer.
- Are you now?
- No, no, I'm not.
- Yes he is.
- No, I'm not.
I'm not the creative type.
- You're always write
whenever I see you.
- Okay, yeah but they're
just reports,
research, it's nothing
more than that.
- Are you good?
Are you good?
- It's just a hobby.
- You know the Holy
Spirit tells me otherwise.
- No, I'm just a doctor.
- No one is just anything, Luke.
I might be known now
as a preacher,
leader, I guess but I'm still
a pretty good fisherman.
God entrusts us with
gifts and talents
whether it be medicine, writing,
teaching, fishing,
whatever it is,
but they are not random.
They are given
intentionally with a purpose
and it is our duty
to nourish them.
And then give back to him.
Hiding one away would be like
lighting up a lamp and
then covering it up.
Have you ever heard the
story of the Great Maestro
and three talented students?
(dramatic piano music)
- Bravissimo, played
with dedication,
control and heart, Christopher.
- Nailed it, Chris.
- Well, I'll just do as
Maestro says, play...
- Play every day.
- My very own parrots,
Bekkie, your resilience
knows no bounds.
You mapped it out with
great calculation.
Now let the map go
and let your hands
take you on the journey.
Malcolm, you have the
heart of an artist,
passionate, intense, chaotic.
You must tune your instrument
to allow the music
to shine through.
I regret to inform you that
this is my final lesson.
Don't look so shocked.
This day has been coming
for a long time.
So my final lesson to you,
my most devoted students
is this,
each one of you has
been given a great gift,
talents of different degrees
and of varying amounts.
They should not be withheld,
contained,
set aside for a rainy day,
but they should be used,
invested, spent.
Hold out your hands.
Oh, there is an immeasurable
gift in each of your hands
to be used not only for
your own betterment,
but for the betterment
of others.
It is your duty.
Enough from me.
I have shared all
I have with you.
And one day I expect to see
what you've done with it.
Now go forth and share what
you have with the world.
- The only thing we're gonna
be sharing are these coffees.
- You don't think Maestro's
right Malcolm
about bettering the world?
- I dunno.
Maestro always speaks in riddles
so that we go back next
week for answers
but what we ever get
is more riddles.
- Well, there's no next
week, not anymore.
- More time to play,
play every day.
Come on, you don't really
stick to that.
- I do.
- Yeah, I still struggle
to keep up.
- But you guys have
an innate ability.
You both have, they can't
take that away.
Somebody else could practice
their finger exercises
as much as they like,
but they will never
have the raw talent
that you have and I have.
Don't get me wrong,
I have learned
a lot from Maestro, a lot,
but am I gonna play for any old
gig to share my talents? No.
Am I gonna practice for my
Philharmonic audition? Yeah.
Because I know my worth
and I'm not gonna share
for anything less.
- Wait, you have an audition
at the Philharmonic?
- Yes I do.
- Malcolm, congratulations.
- That's incredible, well done.
- Thank you.
- Hello, Mr. Novak.
Yeah, it's Chris from
Double Clef Magazine,
we spoke yesterday.
Yeah, I was wondering
if you gave any thoughts
to that fantastic ...
- Hi, can I get you a coffee?
- I'm on a call.
- Yes, no, I'm fine. Mr. Novak.
I'm so sorry but our system
seems to have crashed again.
Yeah, we we'll call you back.
Hey, sorry, I think I came
across a bit rude just then.
It was nice of you to offer.
Would you like a coffee
or anything?
- Sorry, I'm on a call.
- Hello, Mr. Holloway.
- Yes, this is Ruth calling
from Double Clef Magazine.
(soft piano music)
- Chris, we'll see you now.
- Sorry to hear that, Chris.
They don't know what
they're missing.
- Well, nobody says
it's gonna be easy.
I mean, if Maestro taught
us anything, it was that.
- Yeah.
- Chris?
- Yeah.
- This may sound crazy,
but hear me out, okay?
- Okay.
- Maestro told us to
share our talents, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, what if we worked
on something together?
Not just for us, but
something that could
end up making a difference
to people.
- Well, it's a great idea.
For the betterment of others.
- Exactly.
- I just don't think that
now is the right time.
I mean we're both
focusing on big auditions
and I don't want us
to lose focus.
You understand, right?
- Yeah, you're right
but one day, yeah?
- Of course.
- Well, keep going.
You're great pianist,
it will happen.
- Yeah, I hope so.
- All you got to do is play.
- Play everyday.
(phone pings)
- Malcolm.
- Chris.
- How are things?
Things are good mate, you?
- Yeah, no, no, no, can't
complain, can't complain.
How was that audition
for the Philharmonic?
- Oh yeah, that didn't work out.
Seems like a million years ago.
- But you're still playing?
- Nope.
I'm an all or nothing
kind of guy.
I work in the city now and
things are going very well
if I don't say so myself.
- Well, that's a shame.
What is?
- That you don't play.
- I don't think so.
Anyway, I gotta go.
- Yeah, no, it was
nice seeing you.
- Same.
- Chris?
- Ruth, hi!
These are for you.
- Oh, thank you, how lovely.
- Yeah, shall we?
- Yeah, so what do you do?
- For money? Same as
you, we work together.
- No, I mean, what do you do?
None of us are there for the
love of selling magazines.
Unless you are.
- No.
- For example, I am an
Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA,
Award winning actress
in waiting.
- Are you really?
- Well, it is a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.
- Thank you, you?
- I'm a pianist.
- Wow.
- No, is that you acting or?
- No. I actually have a lot
of respect for musicians
especially pianists, you
must work really hard.
- Yeah, I try to.
Not so much as you.
- Oh, it's a little reward
at the moment.
We must persevere.
- To perseverance.
- And talent.
- Mm, and talent.
- Play for me then, Maestro.
- No, I'm no Maestro.
- Come on, play.
(soft piano music)
(phone ringing)
- Hi Chris, it's Bekkie.
This isn't easy to
say, it's Maestro.
- Can't believe this
is happening.
- I know, she was an
incredible teacher.
- She still is, she's
not gone yet.
- I just hope we can live up
to what she wants us to be.
Chris?
- Mmh?
- I've been thinking a
lot about that idea I had.
Do you remember?
Working together?
- For the betterment of others?
- I know it sounded crazy but
I really think it could work.
I'm going to produce an album.
All of Maestro's favorites
recorded by stars,
peers, students, not for profit
all proceeds to tackling cancer,
to help make a real difference.
That's exactly the sort of thing
Maestro would want us to do,
chance for everyone to
share their talents.
I've spoken to Malcolm,
he's keen.
- Malcolm's playing again?
- Yeah, he is.
Are you in?
- Me?
- Yeah.
One day, remember?
- I don't do that anymore.
- What?
- I've been out for some time?
I wouldn't be able to commit.
I'm sorry Bekkie.
- Don't be sorry.
It's just a shame.
- [Ruth Voicemail Montage]
Hi honey, just wondering
what time you'll
be back tonight.
It's been a few late
nights in a row.
Bekkie and Malcolm came
around to see you today.
I told you were on a work trip.
I really want you to play Chris.
Layla and I are going to
mom's for the weekend.
I'm guessing won't
be joining us.
Chris, Leila just took
our first steps.
It's like you blame me
that you stopped playing.
I never asked you for that.
I wanted this to sit in
our home and hear you play.
Leila has never even
heard you play.
- Sorry, I'm late home.
Don't worry about waiting up.
I can sort out my own food.
Yeah, I've gotta go.
Good for you guys.
(soft music)
- [Maestro] So my final
lesson to you
my most devoted students
is this,
each one of you has
been given a great gift,
talents of different degrees
and of varying amounts.
They should not be withheld,
contained,
set aside for a rainy day,
but they should be used,
invested, spent.
Hold out your hands.
Oh, there is an immeasurable
gift in each of your hands
to be used not only
for your own betterment
but for the betterment
of others.
It is your duty.
Enough from me.
I have shared all
I have with you.
And one day I expect to see
what you've done with it.
Now go forth and share what
you have with the world.
(all goes silent)
- [Maestro] Play,
play every day.
(door banging)
- [Temple Guard] Open the door.
By order of High Minister
Ananias, open the door.
- Mary, lock. Lock.
- [Temple Guard] Open the door.
By order of the Temple,
open the door.
- Go, go, go.
Come on.
(Holy Spirit whispers)
- Wait there.
- Luke!
(intense music)
(power surge)
- [Luke] Here I am.
You win, I've been so scared.
And I won't pretend
that I understand
why you seem to be
pursuing me but here I am.
I don't know what this means
but I do know I'm not
as afraid anymore.
You're not a part of my story,
instead, I get to be
a part of yours.
Your incredible life
changing story
for yours is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
- [Recorder] Forever
and ever, Amen.
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
- Ah, there it is.
- You all right there Peter?
(Holy Spirit whispers)
- Can you give us a moment?
- In our hands are immeasurable
gifts.
My brother and I used
to cast our nets out
on shores like this.
We'd catch the best fish
the sea had to offer.
We had a real gift
and that is when I met Jesus.
And when he called me,
he told me I would become
a fisher of men
and to drop my nets.
For three years, we followed him
and saw the impossible
bend to his every word.
So when he asked me to
spread his message,
to preach to all creation,
I gave it everything I had
and I saw wonders and miracles
and the whole world
turn upside down.
But when the Spirit whispered
John Mark's name in my ear,
everything changed.
I knew where my attention
was needed,
to help Mark write it down.
The good news of Jesus for
the whole world to read.
Then something happened,
I didn't expect.
A few days ago, Mary came to
me and told me that Matthew
was also writing an account.
- Matthew? As in...
- And now I meet you
and find that you are
doing the very same.
You know what that tells me?
- What?
- He's up to something.
Our nets, Luke,
our nets will be his story.
- Ready to go now?
We should get going
while the coast is clear.
- Luke, you coming?
- No, I'm not.
- What?
- I'm heading north to
Herod's Compound,
try to find Paul.
I think that's where
the Spirit wants me.
- You're going on your own?
- Plus, have a story
to put together.
- So this is it?
- For now.
- Well, you and Paul,
you keep out of trouble.
Yeah? Stay safe.
- We'll try our best.
- God bless you Doc.
- I'll catch you up.
I wanted to give you this.
My way of saying thanks
for getting me here.
- What are they?
Notes of my own that I've
written over the years.
Bits I've heard from Peter
and the others.
I thought you might
find it useful.
- Wait, you do know why
Peter called you, right?
- Yeah, the Spirit told
me and Barnabas
a couple of weeks ago.
- So you won't be needing these?
- I got copies.
Mary's gonna give one
to Matthew and besides
I reckon Peter will remember
all we need.
- Thanks.
- You're a great writer, Luke.
I read some of it when
you weren't looking.
You've got a gift.
You're gonna keep some
of the short stories in?
- Yeah, I think so,
include as much as
possible, long detailed.
How about you?
How are you gonna write yours?
- Well, it's Peter,
so I'm guessing short
and snappy.
- Great story, either way.
- I'll see you around?
- Amen.
- [Luke] Many have undertaken
to draw up an account
of the things
that have been fulfilled
among us
just as they were
handed down to us
by those who from the
first were eyewitnesses
and servants of the word.
With this in mind,
since I myself have carefully
investigated everything
from the beginning,
I too decided to write an
orderly account for you,
most excellent Theophilus
so that you may know
the certainty
of the things you
have been taught.
This is the account of
Jesus, the Christ.
This is his story.
This...
is his Testament.
