Superbook (2011–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Paul and the Shipwreck - full transcript
Joy and the Quantums are helping with a disaster relief effort. However, the circumstances are so arduous that Joy soon finds she doesn't have the strength to continue, even though her heart is in the right place. At her lowest moment, Superbook takes the kids back in time to meet a man who is also facing adversity. The kids land onboard a ship taking a prisoner, named Paul, to face authorities in Rome. Before he gets there, Paul must face one disaster after another, and when the journey seems the most dire, God gives him the strength to carry on and even minister to others in the their darkest hours. Joy is uplifted my sharing Paul's journey and his miracles in Malta. Joy then returns, through time, to the relief project so filled with the Spirit that no hardship can stop her now.
This is the man
who preaches against
our people everywhere!
He tells everybody to
disobey the Jewish laws.
He speaks against the temple.
He defiles this holy
place by bringing in Gentiles!
Yes, I saw him earlier
with a Gentile from Ephesus!
Halt!
In Caesar's name! Who are you?
I am Paul of Tarsus.
And a Roman citizen!
He brought a nonbeliever
into the Temple!
It is forbidden!
Stand back, all of you!!!
Paul of Tarsus -— since you
seem to have started all this,
I am placing you under arrest
for causing a disturbance.
You're coming with us.

This is Carol
Cooper, Action News,
coming to you from the site
of the massive flood
that has devastated the coast
of this small nation.
Donations of food and medical
supplies continue to pour in
and concerned people are flying
in from everywhere to help,
including a gentleman we've
just met, Professor Quantum.
Professor? Can you tell us what
you've brought with you?
That's
my family, and our friend Joy.
They insisted on coming to help.
Actually, Professor,
I was referring to this.
Oh!! This! Well, yes -—
Well, as you know,
a big problem after any flood
is polluted drinking water.
But my ultraviolet
chloramine-based
purification system works
deep in these wells
to produce fresh
clean water within hours!
Ugh!!! These
mosquitoes are everywhere!
Do not worry, Joy.
I believe the snakeswill eat most of them.
Ugh! Snakes?!!
If they don't drown
in all this mud.
Ugh!!! Chris!!!
Joy, could you bring
four more cases of
sterile gauze?
Uhhh... right away,
Mrs. Quantum.
Joy, would you please bring
another case of antiseptic
and more cotton swabs to tent three?
Oh, and those suture kits.
I'll be right there. Uhhh!
Whoaaa-hoaa-hoaa!
Arrrgghhhhh!
Joy, how's it
coming with the gauze?
Joy,
can you hurry with those suture kits?
Joy?
Your eyes are leaking.
Oh, Giz, Chris, I just -— I
just can't do this. Any of it!
I want to help. I really do.
I felt it in my heart the minute
we heard about the trouble here.
But the bugs, and the mud
and all of those people
who need help...
I just didn't think it would all
be so...
so hard.
Superbook!!!
Here we go!
Whoa-whoaaaa!
I am taking you to meet a man
who faced obstacles
that seemed impossible.
Yet he never lost sight
of his mission.
Prisoners, halt!!
Captain, preparing to
board the prisoners for Rome.
Bring them aboard.
You heard the captain.
Move it along or you'll get
another taste of my whip!
There is no needto strike them.
Whoaaaa!
Halt! What are you
doing there?
Down to the hold
with the rest of the prisoners!
- Run!!!!
- Whoo-hooo-oooooo
I'll teach you to try to escape.
Ah, that's better.
Whoo, coming through!
HEHEHE. Whoaa. Ugh!
It seems there is a
flaw in this plan.
Oooff!
Gotcha.
Ugh... I think these leg
irons are giving me a rash.
Your friend is very unusual.
Oh yeah, he's
definitely one-of-a-kind.
Ohhh! Ha-ha. Huuu....
You okay, Joy?
Oh, peachy! I went from
mosquitoes and mud
to chains and a prison ship. My
life just keeps getting better.
Joy, during the time
I spent in prison
I realized God's power is
strongest when I'm weak.
So if he keeps giving me
his power,
I will gladly brag
about how weak I am.
Yes, I am glad to be weak
or insulted or mistreated,
or to have troubles
and sufferings,
if it is for Christ. Because
when I am weak, I am strong.
We should all pray for
smooth passage to Rome.
Rome? We are going to Rome?
Whoo-hooo. How exciting!
I'm on my way to stand
trial before Caesar.
You sound almost
happy about that.
Stand trial for what?
Well, causing a disturbance.
It was in Jerusalem.
I was preaching about Jesus
to whomever would listen...
I was accused of bringing a
non-believer into the temple.
It wasn't true. They demanded
the Romans put me to death,
but of course, they could
never prove their charges.
Several nights later, Jesus
appeared to me in my cell.
Be of good cheer, Paul;
for as you have testified for me
in Jerusalem,
so you must alsobear witness at Rome.
Since then, my case has been
heard before two Roman Governors
and King Herod Agrippa.
Finally, as a Roman citizen,
I had a right to be tried
by Caesar himself.
And so here I am,
on my way to Rome.
All right, which
of you prisoners
wants a little fresh air?
I need a crew to clean the decks!
Don't pick me.
Please, don't pick me.
This can't get any worse.
Joy...
What about you, Christian?
That's enough!
Captain, would it be possible
to loosen our shackles
-— just while we are at sea?
Captain Julius, you cannot allow
this filthy bunch
of slaves to....!
Unshackle all of them. There
is nowhere they can escape.
I'll be keeping an eye
on you... friend.
Men, I believe there is
trouble ahead if we go on -...
Shipwreck, loss of cargo, and
danger to our lives as well.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Captain, we must continue on.
There are not
suitable harbors here.
It is a poor place to
spend the winter.
The crew knows these waters.
We should continue further
up the coast to Phoenix.
He doesn't know
what he's talking about.
I beg you to reconsider.
I must get to Rome safely!
You have no cause for concern.
The ship's captain believes his
crew knows what they are doing.
Ha-ha, what does a prisoner
from Jerusalem know
about the open sea?
There isn't a storm
we can't sail through.
She won't hold together in
these swells.
Sail for the coast.
Sail for the coast!
Bind the hull!
Use all available lines!
According to the
current barometric pressure,
cumulonimbus formations, and
wind velocity,
there is a 57% chance of....
swells.
Get the skiff on deck!
Ooof!
Thank you.
Pray to your God for us.
Do not be afraid, Paul.
You must be brought
before Caesar.
What's more, God,
in His goodness
has granted safety to
everyone sailing with you.
We must lighten our load, men!
All excess cargo overboard!
Okay, but don't blame me
if we need it later.
Men, you should have
listened to me
in the first place
and not left Crete!
You would have avoided
all this damage and loss!
But take courage! None of you
will lose your lives,
even though the ship
will go down.
For last night an angel of God,
to whom I belong
and whom I serve,
stood beside me and said...
God in his goodness
has granted safety to
everyone sailing with you.
So take courage,
for I believe God.
It will be just as he said.
But we will be
shipwrecked on an island.
He seems so... certain.
His faith never wavers. Never.
Jesus said,
"If you had faith even as small
as a mustard seed
you could say to this mountain,
'Move from here to there, '
and it would move.
Nothing
would be impossible."
Faith, eh?
Well, as a soldier,
I have always relied on a sharp
sword to move my mountains.
Shallow water!!!
Shallow water?
That's good, right?
Good? That is excellent!
Only twenty fathoms deep!
And it's getting
shallower by the minute!
We must be near land!
Drop anchor before we hit rocks!
But Captain....
Do as I say!
Yes, sir.
Drop anchors! Drop anchors!
See any land?
Not yet.
We should get back below deck
and pray daylight comes swiftly.
Please... eat something now
for your own good.
Here, let me help.
Land!
Land ahead!!
Paul, it must be the
island you spoke about!
Cut the anchors!
Loose the rudders!
We've hit a sandbank!
Aghhh!
Oh, no.
The ship's coming apart!
If the prisoners
escape, we'll be to blame!
So I say, "Kill them all" -—
Starting with that one!
No!!!!
There'll be no one
killed on my ship
- — least of all this man.
All right. I want everyone who
can swim to dive in the water
and head for shore.
Those who can't,
grab anything you can
find and start paddling!
No problem! Hop on!
Whooo-aaaa!
Ugh...
safe at last...
Just as you said.
Paul... do you think anyone can
be accepted by your God?
Jesus welcomes all who seek Him.
According to my readings,
we are on the island of Malta,
about four days'journey from Rome.
Uh, guys?
Looks like we'vegot company.
They are called marshallows.
Trust me, they go
great with fish!
Aaahh!
Aggghhhh! VIPER!
Poison snake!
No doubt this man is a murderer,
whom though he has
escaped the sea,
justice does not
allow him to live.
Do not be afraid.
The snake has not harmed me.
It is impossible! Truly,
y-you must be a god!
I'm merely a messenger
of the One True God.
I'm on my way toRome to preach His Word.
Your God must be very powerful.
Perhaps he can help
our leader's father.
He is old and very ill...
Is he okay?
He seems really sick.
Ah!
Ooo! Ha!
He's been healed!
You have saved my father.
I can never thank you enough.
You may not be a god,
but you are truly a man of God.
There is a ship coming
in three months' time,
stopping here
on its way to Rome,
and if that is what you wish,
I promise you shall be on that
ship.
Meanwhile, you shall be
a guest in my home.
I-I thank you for your kindness.
Paul... I don't get it.
Why go to Rome?
Why not stay here in Malta?
These people love you.
But in Rome...
Thank you for your concern, Joy.
Jesus told me I must
bear witness in Rome.
And that is what I will do.
Unbelievable.
After everything Paul's
been through...
a riot, prison, that
horrible shipwreck,
a deadly snake bite...
it seems like nothing can stop
Paul from his mission.
And I was having a hard time
with some mosquitoes
and a little mud.
Superbook!
Now... where were we?
Oh, right! You were
covered with mud
and we were trying not to laugh.
Back to work, huh?
Does that mean it's not
as hard as you thought?
N-no. It's still hard.
But I believe God
wants me to do it
so that's that!
