Two soldiers, guard the two in case there's trouble.
Thomas isn't here?
Thomas! Thomas, where are you?
With so many Olympians in an awful row,
and Cambridge so far ahead,
it's about how the crew gels.
One of the parents here supporting his son
who's next to the Cambridge crew.
What about another dad celebrating success?
I'm going there.
She's going there.
He's gone now, mother.
For punishment we can give him
zero suffocation.
He must die.
No man can die like that.
Centurion, Centurion, yes?
What is it?
I have here permission from the Governor
for the appeasement of Patrick.
May I take him away?
Let me see what you have.
Normally the bodies go into a common grave.
But the Governor's seeing.
Let them take the bodies.
Brothers, over here.
Jesus suffered
the cruel and
terrible agonies of the cross.
As he died,
Mary wrapped his body in a linen cloth
and she covered his face.
What will you do with the body?
It should be dead.
We've all earned so much.
We're all guilty.
I am pleased you said that.
I am just a soldier.
Our men haven't finished.
But I saw the way he died.
Peace,
lust, grace.
Now I'm telling you this,
he was right for more than all your graces.
Take him
and welcome him.
Two soldiers guard the tomb
in case there's trouble.
We need to hurry.
It's getting dark.
We rolled a great stone across the opening
and we sealed the tomb.
Our grief
and our despair
was overwhelming.
How could we bear this?
How could we keep alive Jesus' mission?
Without his example to follow,
we were lost.
It was just as Jesus had said
at our last supper with him.
You strike a shaft
and a shield will come from it.
Go!
Woman,
why are you weeping?
I had a prison.
I will be with you always.
You may not see me,
touch me.
I will be in your heart.
See?
See what I've told you just now?
Search for me.
I will make you vicious,
all of you.
But Thomas isn't here.
Thomas!
Thomas, where are you?
Thomas!

Look around us,
there's one young people,
heading us right up to the slogan.
And he's testing his left right leg. Maybe he doesn't know what to do, I don't know what the coach is saying.
He's like, where are Cambridge? I mean, you know, it's close to a humiliation, that distance, with so many Olympians in the offing row.
And Cambridge so far has not tested it to the greatest of levels.
And as you said before, it's about how the crew gels. And that Cambridge crew, they worked as one.
Yeah, and we've said that before the race. It's about, not about power, it's about flow.
Well, we heard earlier on from one of the parents here supporting his son, who's next to the Cambridge crew.
What about another dad celebrating success?
