[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
hello Lily your business just keep your
mouth shut in there please in there that
way that way you you you please please
be careful with that Ron yes sir
I can't believe your master is willing
to part with these most extraordinary
pieces of Arts terrible it's terribly
selling everything he owned sir but of
all the major he has the most lucrative
practice and the greatest expertise yes
even the Emperor sense Ramon is ill
excuse me sir you you yogi have you
bought this have you paid for this why
are you doing this
ah
[Music]
[Applause]
faster faster it's time service has
begun it's the final sign I knew I was
right as faithful members of the data
we've deciphered books of prophecy in
order to foretell the future but the
highest knowledge is the study of the
stars they are the thoughts of the
eternal I have an extraordinary
announcement in the middle of the
service for you
father I beg your permission to speak
before my fellow major speak if you must
my son thank you Father
rejoice my brothers the prophecies are
fulfilled look you the star has appeared
just as I predicted and its appearance
confirms the coming birth of a king who
will govern the entire world has one
family to have growth everyone
acknowledges that your son is a
brilliant mind but we may die also
practice humility it's true out of them
your search for truth is sometimes
obscured by arrogance will study your
findings no no there's no time for
further study even now test fire Milt
ARR and Balthazar await us in bar
slipper we must leave at once all of us
to join them in the search for the new
king is that why you sold all of your
possessions is that why you turned away
your own patients that is precisely why
I have purchased these precious gems
look you a sapphire a ruby and the most
precious of all this pearl bare to him
in tribute it will not leave my sight
until I've placed him in his hands where
can we find in Israel it's true the
tribes of Israel as scattered like sheep
through a broken race of men mark you I
pray there shall come a star out of
Jacob and a scepter shall rise out of
Israel and I am convinced he will appear
in Jerusalem
yes well better to spend your money
increasing the power of the Magi here in
your own country let not your jealous
pride restrain you from so great and
noble a challenge as only is surpassed
by your insolence you claim I have no
humility while you type
- use the power and knowledge of a mage
I solely for your own personal gain
enough please
I know he's your son but can this be the
man chosen to lead the Brotherhood
[Applause]

I have nothing to lose and everything to
gain my different goal if you must

I know full well transfer the burdens of
the may tie to my shoulders but I should
be worthy of that responsibility only if

and sand dunes but despite the hardships
that this wilderness has plagued upon my
body I do not complain because and

dangers that lurk behind every miserable
gully and every jagged peak as we near

[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
quiet sort of town
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
hmm strange
[Music]
this excuse me we were wondering a few
perhaps seen three men dressed as my
Master's dressed you saw them from a
distance but there's lots of gossip
about the precious gifts they gave child
in a manger people thought of quite
peculiar a king in a manger no wait
could you show us this place please did
you learn the name of the child
no no its parents were strangers here
all has to be gone - for the census what
became of the family gone secretly its
whispered they went as far away's Egypt
Egypt and my Master's friends
disappeared
[Music]
ever since an evil spell has been cast
over the village an evil spell what what
kind of evil spell some say King Herod
is angry about the birth of the child
will drag our ministry away they've all
gone into the hills my husband as well
master
it's a beautiful child he's brought such
joy into our lives I had a son once
pandadoc master please
[Music]
[Music]
all-in-all promising information I say
sir we can't be terribly far from them
[Music]
[Music]
I'm here alone and I'm willing to give
the prudent young captain this exquisite
gem to leave me in peace there's no
child here
move out are you all right master I'm
fine
madam don't be frightened no harm will
come to your son the Lord bless you
thank you come now we will escort you
into the mountains to be with your
husband last how did you get them
believe I gave them something to speed
them on their way but you don't have
anything except the Ruby or the Perl
Ruby come please here I would take the
child please we must hurry so I make
preparations for us to go back to Persia
man no Egypt the King is in Egypt we
don't know his name but we know where he
is
Mona Buress meetings for some time
wandering around palaces of Egypt
searching for this king who if he exists
at all must be three or four by now
[Music]
master I found him
found who the Savior the child that
you've been looking for master I'd like
you to meet Joseph and honor meet you
sir the honor is mine sir
and Mary madam and their child Benjamin
thank you
hey he's about the right age right that
what came your son was born in Bethlehem
yes in a manger and we were visited by
two men Three Magi and what gifts did
they bring him oh well let's see they
brought frankincense and gold
honey myrrh was murder
yes myrrh you like the myrrh I'm sure
well forgive me I trust my servant has
not inconvenienced you with shame you
still don't understand do you
I must find him otherwise my life is
meaningless in this gift such a long and
arduous journey forgive me grandma I'm
lost and confused in my homeland I had
achieved great power and prestige I was
blessed with a beautiful family as well
and suddenly a terrible fire took my
wife and children from me
I mourn then I despaired that's for
myself back into my work and study but
it left me empty vacant then I
discovered the sign for told by your
ancient prophets announcing the birth of
the King of Kings and I set out to find
him but what can you expect from him I
felt compelled to serve him somehow I
know that he is the only one that can
lead me to life's real meaning
yes I've searched all of Egypt every
palace every temple from nothing perhaps
for not looking in the right place do
you mean he's gone back to Jerusalem
it's reasonable to assume that the King
of the Jews would be in the land of the
Jews yes but I don't think you should
look for him in the mansions of the rich
where if the hubble's of the oppressed
know the Spirit of the Lord has been
given to me
it's Isaiah quoting Messiah he has sent
me to bring good news to the poor to
bind up the brokenhearted to bring
liberty to the captive and to give the
blind new sight
[Music]
[Applause]
why would a king a messiah especially
loved poor depressed and why would he
live among because they need him or
because they have nothing else who knows
there's a great mystery God's ways are
not our ways my son may the Lord make
his countenance to shine upon you going
peace avarice wherever we are I know
it's not home believe it or not we are
headed back to Israel it turns out that
this so-called king does not live in a
palace audubon has now decided that he
reigns supreme in the slums I am NO enjoying myself at
[Music]

had their way the Roman soldiers had
wiped us out tomorrow I don't pry how
long must this continue instead of
feeding and whoring to support the
colony you can become self-sufficient
here you can grow your own food you
could plant who would teach us
[Music]
I suppose I could get you started start
I trust that your son will soon come to
his senses so that he may continue his
search or even better

anguish he finds many to help but none
to follow it seems he has completely
forgotten his quest alone Afghanistan
and I will never get home and never get
my freedom as I am wrapped the bandages
you should gradually see more and more
light and nothing nothing nice event
[Music]
[Music]
much longer must we sit by and watch
that colony of riffraff suck off our
land it was one thing when they stopped
buying food from it but now people are
actually going out to that hellhole to
buy the fresh fruits and vegetables suck
this dry I propose a law barring normal
people from associating with that type
and if that doesn't work we'll burn them
up
[Music]
oh oh look everyone it's my faithful
servant Orontes come down from the
mountain he who fouled he'd never set
foot in this place I have something to
tell you master I was just hearing the
townspeople there long enough we've
heard it all before no this time they're
serious Sauron tastes it occurs to me
I've been far too lenient with you
indeed all that's gonna change now and
sports if you want to eat we'll work the
farm like everyone else
oh then stop
[Applause]
you're my master you're obliged to feed
me not if you don't do as you're told
yes sir
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
the bun has changed completely rather
than being able to elevate these
creatures has become one side slave
[Music]
having fun are you afraid tonight what I
don't know something's wrong
Pyrus time in the leper colony what
could possibly be wrong I don't know
their answers
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]

reciever artist
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

place as good as I was before I have
nothing left to give
[Applause]
what is it you want a man named Artemis
I'll he you have a visitor
hi Grannis I can't believe it you old
friend too many years stand between us
father this is Shamir my daughter you
become quite a legend in our country yes
yes you know frankly when I saw that you
were in a colony of beggar's tell me did
you ever find your king
no yeah video hi devanam power of the
Magi has grown tremendously due in no
small part to my financial leadership
we've extended our trade to Israel and
it promises to be very lucrative come
with us now we'll take care of you but I
don't need your help
Master listen to Lord Tyger honest and
his wisdom he once said to me that not
pride stand in your way I say the same
to you now when I say again I don't need
your help you don't have the courage to
admit that you were wrong your father
believed that one day you would return
and rule the Magi if he had known how
you disgraced him now you've wasted your
life among these scum would have killed
him years ago even if you do someday
find your king how can you possibly
serve Him you're a beggar what do you
mean years ago your father's dead he
died a miserable alone and surrounded by
strangers
[Music]
come here
let's go can't we stay and help him no
he doesn't need our help
[Music]
it's been like that for days just
sitting just staring into nowhere your
spirits gone
he's a broken man isn't this could do to
help oh yes oh yes give him back the
last thirty years of his life laughter
what a fade if you ask me master you
make only one mistake in your entire
life thinking too much
and not eating enough figs well I'm very
glad to see that you could still hear me
[Applause]
time has come for you and I depart
company your lunches what do you mean
you've never been happy here you never
wanted to leave Persia you only stayed
with me because of a vow given my father
my father's dead now I release you from
your vow and I grant you your freedom my
freedom with my blessing leave it to you
to give me my freedom thirty years too
late in the most bad for second place on
the face of the earth it's no concern of
mine why are you doing this because I've
grown weary of your constant whining
well that's the gratitude I get Radek
for what thinking of no one else but
yourself looking down on a group of
people who deserve your caring and
respect you've never been the slightest
use to me or Dante's I don't know why I
kept you in my service as long as I have
now leave me go your way a freed man
[Music]
Audubon has granted me my freedom and
you can leave him so easily
yes he's an arrogant overeducated idiot
stand all about you know I'm dying
my heart won't see another harvest is
that why you sent her on ties away he's
been a good and dear friend I don't want
him to witness my final defeat
a chance is there of finding the king
now wait I'm going with you
[Music]
yeah take it to town sell it buy the
things that colony needs
[Music]
it hasn't lost its luster one single bit
should have done it long ago I realize
that now perhaps I'm not worthy to enter
his kingdom or perhaps his kingdom is
only a figment of my own arrogance
[Music]
why have I always tried to do everything
alone the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth in
Galilee this one is real God is hidden
God has been working in makes the lame
walk lepers clean
where you going forgive me for bothering
you
particularly since I don't believe you
exist but if you do I have a bit of a
problem if this man Jesus is the one
that my masters been waiting for perhaps
I should go back and tell him but if I
do I'll just get trapped yeah so what
should I do
so all of this talk about freedom and
all it's meant is a lot of
responsibility and I'm not sure I don't
like mm-hmm
[Music]
some of the people are actually
following he puts himself above Moses
Abraham he puts the spirit of the law
above his letter all he talks about his
love he stirs the people up raises their
expectations this man must be silenced
stop kill
[Music]
[Applause]
or auntie yes sir
I have something to report master I have
found him who the one that you've been
searching for master the Messiah old and
sick for anymore of your trip no it's
not a trick masters name is Jesus but he
he's from Nazareth smile back to Persia
please master he does things only God
can do look look
[Music]
five school
[Music]

would have to Jesus always speak to me
touch my eyes feel the love and the
power flow in he has made the bride to
see master the blind to see it must be

last wish is to see Jesus before I die

[Music]
a long time ago the land far away three
wise men done search for the king of
kings
this is the story of the fourth wise man
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
hello Lily your business just keep your
mouth shut in there please in there that
way that way you you you please please
be careful with that Ron yes sir
I can't believe your master is willing
to part with these most extraordinary
pieces of Arts terrible it's terribly
selling everything he owned sir but of
all the major he has the most lucrative
practice and the greatest expertise yes
even the Emperor sense Ramon is ill
excuse me sir you you yogi have you
bought this have you paid for this why
are you doing this
ah
[Music]
[Applause]
faster faster it's time service has
begun it's the final sign I knew I was
right as faithful members of the data
we've deciphered books of prophecy in
order to foretell the future but the
highest knowledge is the study of the
stars they are the thoughts of the
eternal I have an extraordinary
announcement in the middle of the
service for you
father I beg your permission to speak
before my fellow major speak if you must
my son thank you Father
rejoice my brothers the prophecies are
fulfilled look you the star has appeared
just as I predicted and its appearance
confirms the coming birth of a king who
will govern the entire world has one
family to have growth everyone
acknowledges that your son is a
brilliant mind but we may die also
practice humility it's true out of them
your search for truth is sometimes
obscured by arrogance will study your
findings no no there's no time for
further study even now test fire Milt
ARR and Balthazar await us in bar
slipper we must leave at once all of us
to join them in the search for the new
king is that why you sold all of your
possessions is that why you turned away
your own patients that is precisely why
I have purchased these precious gems
look you a sapphire a ruby and the most
precious of all this pearl bare to him
in tribute it will not leave my sight
until I've placed him in his hands where
can we find in Israel it's true the
tribes of Israel as scattered like sheep
through a broken race of men mark you I
pray there shall come a star out of
Jacob and a scepter shall rise out of
Israel and I am convinced he will appear
in Jerusalem
yes well better to spend your money
increasing the power of the Magi here in
your own country let not your jealous
pride restrain you from so great and
noble a challenge as only is surpassed
by your insolence you claim I have no
humility while you type
- use the power and knowledge of a mage
I solely for your own personal gain
enough please
I know he's your son but can this be the
man chosen to lead the Brotherhood
[Applause]
who then will join me
[Music]
Road ESPYs
we have long awaited this day won't you
join I want to are as you know I've just
taken a new bride and I certainly can't
take it with me but you you look so very
very hard to reach the pinnacle of
success how can you just throw it away
so quickly how can I not
I have nothing to lose and everything to
gain my different goal if you must
family
and your father
I know full well transfer the burdens of
the may tie to my shoulders but I should

[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
hmm strange
[Music]
this excuse me we were wondering a few
perhaps seen three men dressed as my
Master's dressed you saw them from a
distance but there's lots of gossip
about the precious gifts they gave child
in a manger people thought of quite
peculiar a king in a manger no wait
could you show us this place please did
you learn the name of the child
no no its parents were strangers here
all has to be gone - for the census what
became of the family gone secretly its
whispered they went as far away's Egypt
Egypt and my Master's friends
disappeared
[Music]
ever since an evil spell has been cast
over the village an evil spell what what
kind of evil spell some say King Herod
is angry about the birth of the child
will drag our ministry away they've all
gone into the hills my husband as well
master
it's a beautiful child he's brought such
joy into our lives I had a son once
pandadoc master please
[Music]
[Music]
all-in-all promising information I say
sir we can't be terribly far from them
[Music]
[Music]
I'm here alone and I'm willing to give
the prudent young captain this exquisite
gem to leave me in peace there's no
child here
move out are you all right master I'm
fine
madam don't be frightened no harm will
come to your son the Lord bless you
thank you come now we will escort you
into the mountains to be with your
husband last how did you get them
believe I gave them something to speed
them on their way but you don't have
anything except the Ruby or the Perl
Ruby come please here I would take the
child please we must hurry so I make
preparations for us to go back to Persia
man no Egypt the King is in Egypt we
don't know his name but we know where he
is
Mona Buress meetings for some time
wandering around palaces of Egypt
searching for this king who if he exists
at all must be three or four by now
[Music]
master I found him
found who the Savior the child that
you've been looking for master I'd like
you to meet Joseph and honor meet you
sir the honor is mine sir
and Mary madam and their child Benjamin
thank you
hey he's about the right age right that
what came your son was born in Bethlehem
yes in a manger and we were visited by
two men Three Magi and what gifts did
they bring him oh well let's see they
brought frankincense and gold
honey myrrh was murder
yes myrrh you like the myrrh I'm sure
well forgive me I trust my servant has
not inconvenienced you with shame you
still don't understand do you
I must find him otherwise my life is
meaningless in this gift such a long and
arduous journey forgive me grandma I'm
lost and confused in my homeland I had
achieved great power and prestige I was
blessed with a beautiful family as well
and suddenly a terrible fire took my
wife and children from me
I mourn then I despaired that's for
myself back into my work and study but
it left me empty vacant then I
discovered the sign for told by your
ancient prophets announcing the birth of
the King of Kings and I set out to find
him but what can you expect from him I
felt compelled to serve him somehow I
know that he is the only one that can
lead me to life's real meaning
yes I've searched all of Egypt every
palace every temple from nothing perhaps
for not looking in the right place do
you mean he's gone back to Jerusalem
it's reasonable to assume that the King
of the Jews would be in the land of the
Jews yes but I don't think you should
look for him in the mansions of the rich
where if the hubble's of the oppressed
know the Spirit of the Lord has been
given to me
it's Isaiah quoting Messiah he has sent
me to bring good news to the poor to
bind up the brokenhearted to bring
liberty to the captive and to give the
blind new sight
[Music]
[Applause]
why would a king a messiah especially
loved poor depressed and why would he
live among because they need him or
because they have nothing else who knows
there's a great mystery God's ways are
not our ways my son may the Lord make
his countenance to shine upon you going
peace avarice wherever we are I know
it's not home believe it or not we are
headed back to Israel it turns out that
this so-called king does not live in a
palace audubon has now decided that he
reigns supreme in the slums I am NO enjoying myself at

colony you can become self-sufficient

my freedom as I am wrapped the bandages
you should gradually see more and more
light and nothing nothing nice event
[Music]
[Music]
much longer must we sit by and watch
that colony of riffraff suck off our
land it was one thing when they stopped
buying food from it but now people are
actually going out to that hellhole to
buy the fresh fruits and vegetables suck
this dry I propose a law barring normal
people from associating with that type
and if that doesn't work we'll burn them
up
[Music]
oh oh look everyone it's my faithful
servant Orontes come down from the
mountain he who fouled he'd never set
foot in this place I have something to
tell you master I was just hearing the
townspeople there long enough we've
heard it all before no this time they're

farm like everyone else

become quite a legend in our country yes
yes you know frankly when I saw that you
were in a colony of beggar's tell me did
you ever find your king
no yeah video hi devanam power of the
Magi has grown tremendously due in no
small part to my financial leadership
we've extended our trade to Israel and
it promises to be very lucrative come
with us now we'll take care of you but I
don't need your help
Master listen to Lord Tyger honest and
his wisdom he once said to me that not
pride stand in your way I say the same
to you now when I say again I don't need
your help you don't have the courage to
admit that you were wrong your father
believed that one day you would return
and rule the Magi if he had known how
you disgraced him now you've wasted your
life among these scum would have killed
him years ago even if you do someday
find your king how can you possibly
serve Him you're a beggar what do you
mean years ago your father's dead he
died a miserable alone and surrounded by
strangers
[Music]
come here
let's go can't we stay and help him no
he doesn't need our help
[Music]
it's been like that for days just
sitting just staring into nowhere your
spirits gone

help oh yes oh yes give him back the
last thirty years of his life laughter
what a fade if you ask me master you
make only one mistake in your entire
life thinking too much
and not eating enough figs well I'm very
glad to see that you could still hear me
[Applause]
time has come for you and I depart
company your lunches what do you mean
you've never been happy here you never
wanted to leave Persia you only stayed
with me because of a vow given my father
my father's dead now I release you from
your vow and I grant you your freedom my
freedom with my blessing leave it to you
to give me my freedom thirty years too
late in the most bad for second place on
the face of the earth it's no concern of
mine why are you doing this because I've
grown weary of your constant whining
well that's the gratitude I get Radek
for what thinking of no one else but
yourself looking down on a group of
people who deserve your caring and
respect you've never been the slightest
use to me or Dante's I don't know why I
kept you in my service as long as I have
now leave me go your way a freed man
[Music]
Audubon has granted me my freedom and
you can leave him so easily
yes he's an arrogant overeducated idiot
stand all about you know I'm dying
my heart won't see another harvest is
that why you sent her on ties away he's
been a good and dear friend I don't want
him to witness my final defeat
a chance is there of finding the king
now wait I'm going with you
[Music]
yeah take it to town sell it buy the
things that colony needs
[Music]
it hasn't lost its luster one single bit
should have done it long ago I realize
that now perhaps I'm not worthy to enter
his kingdom or perhaps his kingdom is
only a figment of my own arrogance
[Music]
why have I always tried to do everything
alone the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth in
Galilee this one is real God is hidden
God has been working in makes the lame
walk lepers clean
where you going forgive me for bothering
you
particularly since I don't believe you
exist but if you do I have a bit of a
problem if this man Jesus is the one
that my masters been waiting for perhaps
I should go back and tell him but if I
do I'll just get trapped yeah so what
should I do
so all of this talk about freedom and
all it's meant is a lot of
responsibility and I'm not sure I don't
like mm-hmm
[Music]
some of the people are actually
following he puts himself above Moses
Abraham he puts the spirit of the law
above his letter all he talks about his
love he stirs the people up raises their
expectations this man must be silenced
stop kill
[Music]
[Applause]
