Kings (TV Series)

Judgment Day (2009)

Christopher Egan: David Shepherd

Quotes 

• David Shepherd : [to Silas]  I wasn't sure about God... or how He deals with any of this. Now I see... God works through *you*.

• David Shepherd : I'm not supposed to use this as a place to talk about personal things... but I find I have to. This is the first time I've experienced how justice *really* works... live, not on TV. I see now how lucky we are to have a king who knows the difference between what is right and what is expedient... who understands the sacrifices that must be made in order to pursue the true course, so that we... so that *I*... can learn from him.

• David Shepherd : I tried... I can't. Manipulating the system, dirty justice? I can't speak against him.

• David Shepherd : [overwhelmed by Silas' decision to spare Ethan]  You'd do this?

  King Silas Benjamin : Not for favor. I am justice - impartial, not blind. But when a court sentences in such an extreme, it validates the sovereign's right of oversight.

• Ethan Shepherd : I stood up to the king for what I believe; why would I want to live a life that's saved by a lie? As much as you believe in Silas, I know that he's wrong. I know that he's not the one in God's heart.

  David Shepherd : I don't even know if there *is* a God! But I know that *we* can change things - you and I; *we're* the ones here. We're the ones who can save you.

  Ethan Shepherd : Can't you see, David? I'm already saved.
