Superbook (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Peter's Denial - full transcript
Chris is desperate to play with some of the cooler kids in school in an afternoon pick-up basketball game. Just as he demonstrates his Quantum Corkscrew jump shot, Joy runs in to excitedly announce that she's been elected Chess Club President. Realizing how "un-cool" that sounds to the guys he's trying to impress, Chris pretends he doesn't know her. Gizmo promptly arrives with Chris' sneakers, but there will be no game for him today. Instead, Superbook sends the trio back in time to meet the disciple Peter, who ends up denying Jesus three times. Later, after seeing the risen Jesus forgive Peter on the shores of Galilee, Chris realizes that like Peter, he was acting out of fear when he refused to acknowledge Joy's friendship. Once the kids return to the present, Chris takes a pass on the pick-up game and heads off with his true friends to celebrate Joy's accomplishment.
But Thomas, I am the one
He looks to first.
Tell him, Simon Peter.
Jesus speaks to me like a
father to his son.
You are both wrong.
I am the one Jesus favors!
Simon Peter, how can you say that?
What makes you think you are
that important to Jesus?
In this world,
the kings and great men lord it
over their people,
yet they are called
'friends' of the people.
But among you
it will be different.
Those who are the greatest among
you should take the lowest rank,
and the leader should be
like a servant.
Who is more important,
the one who sits at the table
or the one who serves?
The one who sits at the table,
of course.
But not here!
For I am among you
as one who serves.
And just as my father
has granted me a Kingdom,
I now grant you the right
to eat and drink at my table
in my Kingdom.
And you will sit on thrones,
judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
Simon. Simon!
Indeed, Satan has asked for you,
that he may sift you as wheat.
But I have prayed for you, that
your faith should not fail;
and when you have
returned to Me,
strengthen your brethren.
Lord, I am ready
to go to prison with you,
and even to die with you!
Peter... before the rooster
crows tomorrow morning,
you will deny three times
that you even know me.

I'm just saying, I'd like to,
you know,
maybe get into one of your pick-up games
after school some time?
Heh, Quantum,
our game's "Invite Only."
Well, everybody knows that.So...
what's it take toget an invite?
We don't hang with guys
like you, Quantum.
Not cool and too short.
Oh, I don't know.
I heard Quantum here has a
wicked little jump shot.
Yeah, "little" is right.
Oh, can't touch me.
I got game.
Look out. Coming through.
Ha! Here it comes!
I call it the Quantum Corkscrew.
Ha!!! Awright!!!
Do that again so we know
it's not a fluke!
Heh... I drop that
shot in my sleep.
Chris! Chris, you'll never
guess what!
I got elected
President of the Chess Club!
Seriously? Chess club?
Oh, my gosh... I'm president!
Quantum, you know
this chess-nut?
Uh.....never seen her before.
Uh check this out, guys!
Chris?
Personal invite to the game.
Huh? Oh... Pkhoo tshew!
Meet you at River Park.
Yes!!!!
Chris! Oh, Chris!!
I have brought your athletic
shoes from home like you asked.
I'm gonna be hanging out with
the coolest kids at Valley View!
I am very glad for you,
Chris. But... uh...
what is the matter with Joy?
Chris... how could
you do that?
Joy, those guys don't think
the Chess Club is very cool,
and you know how
much I want to -...
And that makes it okay to
pretend you don't... know me?
Joy... you know
I'm your friend.
I thought I knew.
Joy!...Jo... oooy.
Superbook!
♪
Oh no.
Not again!
Not a Superbook tripno-o-o-owww!
I am going to show
you the power of forgiveness.
Oh man! Just when I was
going to get to...
Huh?
What's going on?
Out of the way!
I say we listen to the
big man with the torch!
Joy! Gizmo!!
Open the gate!
We're taking Jesus to be
questioned by Caiaphas!
What's going on?
This man, Jesus of Nazareth,
is stirring up all
kinds of trouble
claiming he's the son of God!
The High Priest, Caiaphas,
will determine his fate.
We must get to Chris!
Move inside!
Hey, wait!
John!
What are you...
Hurry, Peter!
John!
Please.
Let my friend in.
Peter! Come with me!
John, this is allgoing badly.
Hurry! There is no time
to...
Listen to me!
Jesus just let them
arrest him...
You tried to stop them!
Maybe that's not the way
Jesus wants it to be.
What does he want?
This whole night makes no sense.
It's all going wrong.
How will Jesus become king?
He's being arrested by the officials
of the very peoplethat he's meant to lead!
Peter, remember what Jesus said!
We must go! Follow me!
Gizmo, what are you doing?
Chris might be
in trouble in there.
Maybe I can locate
him with my scan-cam.
Forget about him, Gizmo.
If he doesn't wantto be with me,
then I don't want
to be with him.
What do you think Caiaphas will do
with this Jesus of Nazareth?
Oh, he will get his due,
along with all his followers.
You were one of
those with Jesus the Galilean.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
This man was
with Jesus of Nazareth.
I swear I don't even
know the man!
You must be one of them.
We can tell by your
Galilean accent.
A curse on me if I'm lying.
I don't know the man!!!
Before the rooster crows
tomorrow morning,
you will deny three times
that you even know me.
Chris! Where are
they taking Jesus?
They're saying
the... Praetorium,
so some guy named Pontius Pilate
can judge him now!
Who is that man?
That's Peter.
What is the matter with him?
Uh, he's... he's probably,
you know, upset
because they're taking his
friend Jesus away.
Superbook!
So, where are we now, Giz?
We have arrived at
the Sea of Galilee.
It also appears
Superbook has taken us
approximately three
weeks forward in time.
Man, we've gotta get home
soon or I'll miss my chance
to play basketball with the
coolest guys in school.
They're not cool.
Giz, a pair of binoculars, please.
What did you say?
Giz, a pair of binoculars,
please.
No, before that. You said,
"They're not cool."
Just shows what you know, Joy.
Ask anybody at school.
It's taken me all year to prove
I've got what it takes
to hang with them, and now
they're going to let me.
So that makes me...
Totally uncool, too.
What?! Wait...
I-I told you, Joy,
if I said I hung out with the
new president of the Chess Club,
do you know how much they'dmake fun of me?
Fine! If Joy doesn't want tohang with me,
I don't want tohang with her!
I'll just work on myQuantum Corkscrew
until Superbook takes us back.
Giz, basketball mode.
Chris...
Joy has been your friend
a lot longer
than those boys at school.
Well, I can be her friend
when I'm with her,
and I can be their friend
when I'm with them.
They never have
to know about each other.
Hi! I'm Joy and I...
wait... you're Peter.
You were with Jesus at
the house of Caiaphas.
We're all followers of
Jesus. Or... we were.
What do you mean... "were"?
If you were at the
house of Caiaphas,
how have you not heard?
Jesus was crucified!
After he died, we
were all so fearful.
Most of the disciples hid
from the Romans or the mob.
Others simply... ran away.
But then the most amazing
miracle happened!
Jesus rose from the dead!
What? I remember...
I mean... if he's alive,
where is he?
He has come to us
several times, but
he has been... different.
I saw him... and was not
certain it was him.
Put your finger here,
and look at my hands.
Put your hand into the
wound in my side.
Do not be faithless any longer.
Believe!
My Lord and my God!
You believe because
you have seen me.
Blessed are those
who believe without seeing me.
That's... amazing!
Why did I ever doubt him?
I'm going fishing.
We'll come, too.
He cannot forgive himself.
For... what?
He deniedeven knowing Jesus.
And some people don't even
feel bad for what they did.
I'll take this small boat.
I don't think Chris wants to
be around me anyway.
Peter, that night they
arrested Jesus...
I-I understand why you had to
say you didn't know him.
I mean, they could have
arrested you!
Who knows what everyone was
thinking that night?
You had to protect
yourself... didn't you?
Jesus knew Satan was
about to test me... and I failed.
Never let down your guard,
Chris.
The devil is like a roaring lion,
sneaking around
to find someone to attack.
Chris, I have been
checking this area with sonar
and perhaps the disciples should
move to another location.
There are no fish in the vicinity.
I think they kinda figured
that out already, Giz.
Keep looking.
Good morning!!!
- Huh?!!
- Uhh, who is that?
Who is that?
Who is calling out?
Have youcaught anything?
Nothing all night.
We haven't caught a single fish!
Cast the net on the
RIGHT side of the boat,
and you will find some.
What is he talking about?
We've been fishing all night...
apparently off the
wrong side of the boat.
There is nothing to lose.
What makes him think
this is going to work?
I have been running
the sonar all night
and there are no fish anywhere
near here. That is a fact!
Gizmo...
Gizmo!
Gizmo! Get Chris!
Joy, if you do not want
to be with Chris,
what makes you think he now
wants to be with you?
GET HIM!!!!
AAAGHHHH!
Aaaaa!
Chris! I got you!
Agghhhh!
Peter! It's...
Jesus!
What?
Teacher!
Master! I... it... I don't...
Bring some of the fish
you have just caught.
Ah, I tell ya, that
was just great
the way Joy saved you from
the water; wasn't it, Chris?
Looks like Jesus isn't
angry with Peter.
Which is great, y'know,
especially after what happened.
Of course, it helps that
Peter was really sorry
for what he did.
Yeah! Boy, sure would be nice
if we could be more like that...
forgiving and everything... right?
'Course, Jesus wouldn't hurt
the people who care about him.
I guess that's why he's Jesus,
and we're...
you know... us.
Lord, I...
Simon, son of Jonah, do
you love me more than these?
Yes, Lord, you know
that I love you.
Then feed my lambs.
Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?
Yes, Lord.
You know I love you.
Then take care of my sheep.
Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?
Lord, you know everything!
You know that I love you!
Then feed my sheep. And follow me.
Peter denied Jesus three times,
so Jesus is restoring
him three times.
Joy... I...
Superbook!
Joy, I want to say...
Look, I messed up.
Sometimes... people
make mistakes.
They get
overwhelmed... or afraid.
Or selfish.
But mostly afraid.
I never should have denied
that I knew you
in front of those guys, Joy.
I mean it.
I'm sorry.
I forgive you, Chris. And...
I'm sorry if I overreacted...
a little.
Hey, Quantum!
You gonna play with us or not?
You know what? I'm not gonna.
Nope. I gotta go.
Go where?
Coolest thing just happened.
Joy was just made President
of the Chess Club,
so I'm going to gocelebrate...
with my friends.
Checkmate. Game over.
You lose! Hoo-hoo!
Besides, who needs the
Quantum Corkscrew
when I've got the
Gizmo Gut Shot!
Ooohhhhh...
Whoa-whoa-whoa....oh boy!
Oh no!!!
