Episode 14 - One of Us View Trailer
Intent on rescuing the zealot Daniel who is imprisoned nearby, Macky now arrives in Jerusalem disguised as a member of Portia's entourage. Awed by the sight of the besieged city, Macky tells Portia how the young Jesus was briefly left behind in Jerusalem by Mary and Joseph. Then Macky has to run - literally. He's been found out by Toadie and must hurry off to the safe house his father told him about.

On the way, he meets Lucius, a mysterious Roman soldier with an impressive (and unexpected) knowledge of the Old Testament. He tells Macky how David's soldiers once entered Jerusalem through a narrow water tunnel. Dismissing the story as nothing more than legend, Macky hurries off to the safe house. There, he meets the owner, Isaac, who pretends to be senile when the Romans are around. No sooner does Macky arrive than he's pressed into service bringing medicine into Jerusalem. Macky must brave the unpredictable currents of the (not-so-legendary) water tunnel, and then, the even less predictable reactions of the fiery zealots inside the city.

Episode 15 - Over Walls View Trailer
Macky is now a dependable courier between Jerusalem and the outside world. But he's soon given a job that might be too much, even for him: taking an elderly man out of the city for medical care.

Unable to use the water tunnel because of its dangerous currents, Macky must find another way. Lucius tells him the ailing man might be taken over a certain part of the city wall, but Macky is suspicious; why should he trust Lucius, a Roman? Lucius tells him the story of Paul/Saul, and his conversion on the road to Damascus. Macky is convinced of Lucius's desire to help and quickly conceives a plan. But when Macky offers the plan to Sarah, his new zealot friend, she rejects it. Like Macky, she sees no reason to trust a Roman. But unlike Macky, she goes even further: she's leery of trusting anyone, and she uses the story of Esau and Jacob to back up her distrust.

Macky agrees to scrap Lucius's plan, but that decision almost proves fatal. So it's Lucius himself who must ride in to save Macky and Sarah. This gives Macky an opportunity to finish the Esau and Jacob story for Sarah, adding the part where the brothers finally reunite.

Episode 16 - The Ram View Trailer
The Romans are bringing in an enormous battering ram to use against the walled city of Jerusalem. Waiting to fight it, the zealots liken the Romans to Ahab and Jezebel, who wanted Naboth’s land, had him killed, then took the land for themselves. The zealots draw strength from the remainder of story: Elijah’s accurate prediction that Ahab and his family would be brought very low.

Macky goes to Lucius for help. Lucius is at first unwilling; he thinks the zealots should simply surrender and avoid the slaughter. But he soon has a change of heart, inspired by the story of Paul helping the shipwrecked Roman soldiers, even though they were his enemies. Lucius gives Macky the key to defeating the giant battering ram, and Macky must then risk his life as well as those of two friends in order to send the ram to its spectacular reward.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 17 - Rescue Strangers View Trailer
Because of his success against the battering ram, Macky is now a little full of himself. Isaac tells him how strongly Paul and Barnabas objected to being treated as gods in Lystra, but the story doesn’t seem to make much of an impression on Macky. Later, when a stranger named Tamar urges him to attempt a risky rescue for the imprisoned zealot Daniel, Macky rashly takes on the task – even though some of Tamar’s information about Daniel is at odds with information Portia has given him.

Macky finds out almost too late that Tamar has taken advantage of him; she’s tricked him into rescuing not Daniel, but rather, a friend of hers – who happens to be a brutal killer. Only Portia can save Macky now, but she’s angry at him for rejecting her advice in favor of a stranger’s, and Isaac must recount for her the story of Michal’s rescue of David in order to galvanize Portia into action. .
