Superbook (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Rahab and the Walls of Jericho - full transcript
Chris wrestles with making a moral decision between right and wrong, a decision Joy warns could get him in big trouble. Superbook takes him and his friends back to Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar to meet Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Three men who chose to obey God and trust Him for their protection no matter the cost.
Joshua.
Joshua.
Moses my servant is dead.
Therefore, the time has come
for you to lead these people,
the Israelites, across
the Jordan River
into the land I am giving them.
No one will be able to stand
against you as long as you live.
For I will be with you
as I was with Moses.
I will not fail you
or abandon you.
But Joshua, even with all our soldiers,
how will we defeat
their army protected by the
walls around Jericho?
In three days we cross the
Jordan River and take Jericho.

Remember, you're trying to build
a Re-Entry Vehicle that will
protect its payload
one raw egg.
And you'll be dropping it
off this scaffold
to find out whose doesn't break.
Becky, you and Joy seem to be
working along the same lines.
Would you like to team up?
N-no, thank you. She
probably copied me anyway...
What? Well, I'd never...
Grrr!
Chris Quantum!
What are you doing?
Trying out the newestHolo 9 game...
Rip RedlineMaster Spy!
It is designed for one
player and works in real time
and in real environments!
But I figured out how to
be in it, too.
Say... aren't you supposed to
be out there working with Becky?
How do YOU know that?
Hel-lo?
We are spies?
Don't you wantto work with her?
More like she doesn't want to
work with me!
Fine! I wouldn't work with her
in a million years!
Superbook!
You had to mention "years!"
Whoaaaa... what century are we
headed for noo-oo-oo-ow?!
I am taking you
to a place where you will discover
that when people live to
please the Lord,
even their enemies are
at peace with them.
But Joshua, across
the Jordan River lies Jericho.
They have many men and weapons,
not to mention two enormous
walls that protect them.
We must learn
more about Jericho.
How thick are the city walls?
How plentiful are
their supplies?
How many soldiers they have?
This mission calls
for our very best spies.
Spies?
Come on, Gizmo!
That's us!
Spies, reporting for duty, sir!
Aren't you a bityoung to be spies?
That's what makes us
so perfect for this.
We're sly, we're stealthy -...
Not to mention lethal.
Hey-ya, Yah!
Very amusing, children. But
this calls for real spies.
Those are spies?!
Yes, where are
their spy gadgets?
Yeah, these guys are going to
be helpless without us.
Giz, we better shadow them
if this mission is ever
going to succeed.
The line into Jericho is
moving slowly tonight, Captain.
Have your men fallen asleep?
Ha... I don't have
time for jokes, Rahab.
You know I am
dependent on travelers.
And I'm concerned about
not having guests
in my boarding house tonight
unless you can...
move things along.
You should be more concerned
about the Israelites.
The Israelites?
What do you mean?
They've begun arrivingand making camp
on the east side of the Jordan River.
Thousands of them.
Really?
I have heard stories
about their amazing God
and the things He's done.
Well, if they try to attack,
their victories endhere at Jericho.
Because the Israelitesand their God
are no match formy men and our walls.
Hmm... I don't know.
Perhaps it is you, Captain,
who should have
more concern tonight.
Their God is very powerful.
Humph. And our wallsare very strong.
Of course, Captain.
Good night.
Hmph... Captain,
what did Rahab want?
I don't see
those spies anywhere.
Did you notice how
that woman acted
when that soldier talked
about the Israelites?
Yeah, whatever.
Now, can we figure out how to
sneak past those guards?
Gizmo -— I need options.
Well, we could use a rocketpack
to get over the wall-...
Hmmm... too obvious
Or perhaps usefireworks as a diversion
Eh... too dangerous.
Or, we could do this.
Too easy.
Hurry along. We've got to shut
the gates for the night.
Out of my way!!
Halt in the name of the King!
That's what he said.
Hmph!
Oh, these are lovely.
Did they just arrive?
Yes, they're beautiful
and a great value.
Are you some kind of spy?
Huh?! Oh, ah... no!
Well, that's odd because
you've been following me
ever since you came
through the city gate.
And obviously you're
not from around here.
You... noticed.
You know... you would look so
much better in green. Let's see.
What do you think?
Oh! Definitely!
Whoo-hooo.
Nobody would think we would
try to sneak in this way!
Well, like Rip Redline
Master Spy always says...
My greatest weapon is the
element of surprise.
Okay, let's go spy hunting.
Rahab, you seem to know
everybody in Jericho.
Oh, not nearly everybody.
But I like people.
Hmmph!
With a few exceptions.
I can relate to that. There's
this girl at home, Becky?
We've hardly even spoken...
but she acts like
I'm her worst enemy.
Well, sometimes people judge
one another too quickly.
Even if you see people a certain way,
you should still give them
a second chance to
prove themselves.
I'm sure you and this other girl
can find something in common.
After all, look at us!
Joy! We've been looking
all over for you!
And we lost track
of those spies!
Can you not say
that word so loud?
Come on. Everybody inside!
Oh! The spies!
Giz!
What?
Those are the spies?
In my home?
Rahab, what are you going to do?
You and you, up to the roof.
Go!!!
- What?
- What do you mean?
Go now!
Let us have the men
who are staying at your house.
They are spies.
Spies? Oh! Wait,
you mean them?
Harrr!
Don't play games with me, Rahab.
The men were here earlier,
but I didn't know where
they were from.
And...?
I don't know where they went.
If you hurry, you can
probably catch up with them.
Take some men and go look for
them at the Jordan River
where people cross.
We may be back.
You saved our lives, Rahab. Why?
I know that the Lord has
given Israel this land.
Everyone shakes with fear
because of you.
We heard how the LORD dried up
the Red Sea
so that you could leave Egypt.
And we heard how you destroyed
Sihon and Og,
those two Amorite
kings east of the Jordan River.
No wonder our hearts have
melted in fear!
No one has the courage to fight
after hearing such things.
For the Lord your God isthe supreme God
of the heavens aboveand the earth below.
Please promise me inthe Lord's name -...
Since I have shown you kindness,
that you also will show kindness
to my father's house,
and give me a true token and
spare my father, my mother,
my brothers, my sisters,
and all that they have,
and deliverour lives from death.
We offer our own lives as a
guarantee for your safety.
If you don't betray us, we
will keep our promise
and be kind to you
when the Lord gives us the land.
Come. We must hurry!
My house is built into
the city wall. Use this rope
to let yourselves down to the
ground outside the city wall.
We will be bound by the oath
we have taken,
only if you follow
these instructions.
You must tie this red cord on
your window when we attack,
and everyone in your family must
be here with you.
We will take the blame if anyone
who stays in this house gets hurt.
But anyone who leaves your house
will be killed.
I understand. Now go, before
the Captain returns.
Superbook!
Where's it taking us nowwww...?
Hmmm....It appears Superbook has
sent us forward in time.
According to my
chrono-spatial locator,
the Israelites have
moved their camp
to the west side of
the Jordan River.
Closer to Jericho...
And it looks like
they're on the attack!
What is that?
It looks like some
kind of treasure!
My info scanner is registering
that as the Ark of the Covenant
a wooden chest covered in gold
which contains the
Ten Commandments
God gave to
Moses on Mt. Sinai.
- Wow!
- Amazing!
Children...
Joshua, did the spies help you
figure out a plan
for getting
past Jericho's walls?
No. God has given me a plan.
It was after Passover, I came to
study their mighty walls...
at this very place.
Are you friend or foe?
Neither. I am the commander
of the Lord's army.
I am your servant.
Tell me what to do.
Take off your sandals,
for the place where you are
standing is holy.
He told me how I am to
defeat Jericho.
How?!
Follow with the others behind
the soldiers, and remain silent.
Do not speak a word while you
march around the city.
Make way for the king!
The entire city is in a panic,
and all they're doing
is marching around?
Yes, and look!
Now they're just returningto their camp.
It must besome kind of trick.
No! They've just
seen the futility of their plan.
And our walls have kept us safe.
This is crazy. We march
up like we're going to attack.
We go around the city one time
and then we go home?
For six days? That's it?
That's the plan?!
Patience, Chris. Tomorrow
is going to be different.
Grr! What is happening?!
Today they circled the
city seven times.
But still they
were afraid to attack.
It's pathetic.
They'll be leaving soon.
Shout! For the LORD
has given you the City!
Everyone into the city!
Rahab kept you safe
when I sent you to Jericho.
We promised to protect
her and her family
and we will keep that promise.
Now go into her house
and bring them out.
Come on!
There! The crimson cord!
Rahab, gather your
father, your mother,
your brothers, and all the other
relatives who are with you.
What will you do with us?
For your help, you may live
in a safe place
near the camp of Israel.
Everyone, go with these men.
You'll be safe with the
Israelites.
We have their promise.
Uh, guys...
Rahab! I'm glad I
got to know you.
And I, you. I hope things
workout for you and your friend.
Remember, since the time I got
to know the enemy,
we came to find we had
common ground.
Ahh! We're going home.
And not a moment too soooooon!
Whoa!
Uh Chris, could we take a
break from the spy game?
What are YOUgoing to do?
I'm going to have a
chat with Becky.
Hi!
That's a cute bracelet.
Really?
Really.
You know you look good in green.
My mom made it for me.
Wow! That's pretty cool!
What?
Nothing. It's just,
ever sincel transferred here,
nobody's ever said
anything nice to me.
Nobody ever says
anything at all.
Yeah, I know how hard it canbe
making friends in new places.
I'm not real good at
making friends.
Well, you're pretty
goodat science projects.
Maybe we canboth work on one together?
Only if you want to...
Yeah, I want to. I definitely want to.
