"Subtitles by demonseye" "She's denied the cross for suicide, and buried at the centre of a crossroads." "Huh!" "Show me the logic." " Father?" " What?" "The devil is a practical man." "If she were a witch, she was a poor return on his investment." " What do you know of logic?" " I have ears, father." "Although one is notched." "Because I love justice." "You love thieving." "Shut up." "You dig." "Crusaders." "Clear the road, if you will." " Squire..." " Yeah." "This is for the burial, from my lord." "And a mass... for her soul." "Wait..." "Have you forgotten?" " She was your brother's wife." " She was a suicide." "Cut off her head." "And return the axe." "You know this place, my lord?" "Know it?" "I know all of it." " Your brother, you have spoken to him?" " On what matter, my lord?" "He is still arrested." "Your brother is as responsible for his wife's sin as I am." "Opinions differ, my lord." " The burial was...?" " Yes." " Yet, you did not mutilate the person?" " No." "Good." "A law can go too far." "It can go too far, I ask myself "Would Jesus do it thusly?"" "There is so much done in Christendom of which Christ would be incapable." "You must release your brother." "I cannot do without him." "My-my brother, my lord bishop... is possessed by the devil and must be... examined." "Your brother is as mad as you are." "He grieves." "Without your brother, I cannot finish my church." "Let him out." "And give him this, and tell him that he is at the very centre of my prayers." "The bishop needs you." " Release him." " On your feet." "This is not heaven, it's the world." "And there's troubles in it." "Do yourself no injury." "Other men are always good for that." " And what of Jerusalem?" " Jerusalem?" "In peril, my lord." "As always." "We have stood there against the Saracens for over 100 years." "The Saracens, as you call them, have now unified in Egypt, Syria and all Arabia." " The Saracens and someone new." " Salahadin, their king." " Sal-adin." " Gibberish." " Very fine." " And yet, you do not drink." "A knight, ugh, should be a knight, a monk a monk." " Brother..." " Not both at once." "That's what I say." "Now..." "I may be old-fashioned, but... as for the cup, I have, uh, an artificer, a... blacksmith." "Or, did have." "Which son of the blacksmith of my time is the blacksmith now?" "Balian, the eldest." "His child died." "His wife fell into a..." "melancholy, she would not listen to reason..." "She killed herself." "It occurs." "But what's that to you?" "A private matter." "It's been six-and-twenty years since my brother took the cross, and now he returns." "An actual baron of the kingdom of Jerusalem." "How is that for the lot of a younger brother?" "With no heir, it comes to me." " And thus to you." " Then I thank the stars for my uncle." "Her grave was here." "Or was it there?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact location." "I wasn't present at the burial." "Call me a liar." "You have reason?" "You never fight back." "Huh?" "You always turn the other cheek." "I think that you conceive yourself without sin." "That is a sin!" "We shall work." "Come on, Thomas." "I told you to stop that now." "Out of the way of the horses." " That is the man." "That is the man." " You're an armourer, yes?" "An artificer, according to your lord and this... priest." "You have my sympathy and my blessing." "Your dead wife and stillborn child are today the subject of my prayers." "We need all these horses shod." "We need food." "And we'll pay." "He says yes." "He's made great engines for sieges." "He has made war machines that cast the largest stones." "He also works finely in silver." "He will be one of the few on your journey worth more alive than dead." "Shut up." " Have you been at war?" " On horse." " And as an engineer, also." " Against whom, and for whom did you fight?" "For one lord against another, on a point which cannot be remembered." "There's better game now." "One God against another." " The pay is proportionate." " I've been telling him that." "Do you still advise what you advised upon the road?" "I do, my lord." "But know that this man, Balian, mourns his wife." "What does that say?" ""What man is a man who does not make the world better?"" "Leave me with this man." "God has made us men." "We must suffer all." "I... also have lost." "Some say Jerusalem is the very centre of the world for asking forgiveness." "But myself, I call it here." "Now." "I knew your namesake." "I... knew your mother." "To be courteous, I should say that it was against her objections." "But I was the lord's brother and she had no choice." "But..." "I did not force her." "I have forgiveness to ask of you." "I am Godfrey, the baron of Ibelin." "I have 100 men at arms in Jerusalem." "If you will come with me, you will have a living and... you will have my thanks, there it is." "Whoever you are, my lord, my place is here." "What made it your place is now dead." "You will never see me again." "If you want anything of me, take it now." "I want nothing." "I am sorry for your troubles." "God protect you." "Jerusalem is easy to find." "You come to where the men speak Italian, and continue until they speak something else." "We go by Messina." "Goodbye." "The village does not want you." "When the old lord is dead, they will drive you out." "When the bishop is dead, it is certain." "And you take my property." " The Church." " You." "They would have taken you to Jerusalem." "Away from... all this." "I arranged it." "I swear to you, you will have no peace so long as you stay here." "No man ever needed a new world more." "Imagine your sin and pain erased." "All..." "If you take the Crusade... you may relieve your wife's position in hell." "I-I put it delicately." "She was a suicide." "She is in hell." "Though what she does there without a head..." "Wait here." "Have you come to kill me?" "Even these days, it is not easy." "Well?" "I have done..." " murder." " Haven't we all?" "Is it true that in Jerusalem I can erase my sins?" "And those of my wife?" "Is it true?" "We can find out together." "Show me your hand." "Hey!" " Pick it up." "Let's see what you're made of." " His hand is hurt, my lord." "I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle." "Never use a low guard." "You fight well." "Let's work on your skills." "Take a high guard, like this." "The Italians call it "la posta del falcone"." "The guard of the hawk." "You strike from high." "Like this." "Do it." "Sword straighter." "Come on." "Leg back." "Bend your knees." "Sword straighter." "Defend yourself." "The blade isn't the only part of a sword." "Attack." "I have your leave?" "Pay attention." "Eins, zwei, drei, vier, funf." "What's this?" " Uncle." " Nephew." "You have with you a man, Balian, who killed a priest, his brother." "I'm charged by both my father and the lord bishop to bring him back." "What he says is true." "They have the right to take me." "I say he's innocent off the charts." "If you say he's guilty, then we'll fight." " And God will decide the truth of it." " My German friend is a close student of the law." "Just give him to me." "I'll fight you for something else." " Uncle, he's a murderer." " So am I." "Whoever dies here today, you will certainly be among them." "You are my uncle." "I must give you the road." "To the flanks." "Thank my brother for his love." " I am the son of Roger de..." " Take your helmet off while addressing me." "I am the son of Roger de Cormier." "I am accorded the privilege of... ransom." "This is true." "Well, you broke the arrow." "If the ribs are broken, the marrow may enter the blood, in which case you'll take a fever and die." "Or a cyst will form, and you'll live." " You're in the hands of God." " Will you get me some more wine?" "It was not that they had no right to take you." "It was the way they asked." "They had the right to take me." "And so do I." "To kill an infidel, the Pope has said, is not murder." "It is the path to heaven." "To kill an infidel, the Pope has said, is not murder." "It is the path to heaven." "To kill an infidel, the Pope has said, is not murder." "It is the path to heaven." " Where do you go?" " To Jerusalem, brother." " By which road?" " Someone knows." "God knows." " When shall we stop this madness?" " It will soon be beyond my concern." " Who is this?" " My son." "Would I had fought you when you were still capable of making bastards." "I knew your mother when she was making hers." "Fortunately, you're too old to be one of mine." "All will be settled." "Do you know what lies in the Holy Land?" "A new world." "A man who in France had not a house, is, in the Holy Land, the master of a city." "He who was the master of a city begs in the gutter." "There, at the end of the world, you are not what you were born, but..." "what you have within yourself to be." "I hope to find forgiveness." "That's all I know." "Whatever your position, you are of my house." "And that means you will serve the king of Jerusalem." "What could a king ask of a man like me?" "A better world than has ever been seen." "A kingdom of conscience." "A kingdom of heaven." "There is peace between Christian and Muslim." "We live together." "Or, between Salahadin and the king, we try." "Did you think that lay at the end of a crusade?" "It does." "My son, you are all that survives me." "Do not disappoint me." "When we took the Holy Land, we took the Saracen trading ports." "So Italian ships carry silks and spices, and pilgrims, if they have money." "And Italy becomes rich, as the Saviour intended." " Who are those men?" " Muslims." "Saracens." " And they are allowed their prayers?" " If they pay the tax." ""Praise be to God." "It is proper to praise him."" "Sounds like our prayers." "It's good." "When the king is dead, Jerusalem will be no place for friends of Muslims, or traitors to Christendom, like your father." "I am Guy de Lusignan." "Remember that name." "And me." "Keep it." "My lord..." "How will you ride if you have no stick to beat the horse?" "He will be king in Jerusalem one day." "Balian..." "Hurry." "I can go no further." "Get on your knees." "Be without fear in the face of your enemies." "Be brave and upright that God may love thee." "Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death." "Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong." "That is your oath." "And that's so you remember it." "Rise a knight and baron of Ibelin." "Defend the king." "If the king is no more, protect the people." "It's time now, my lord, to confess to Holy God, not your son." " Are you sorry for all your sins?" " For all but one." "You sail now for Jerusalem, as your father wished." "I'll follow within the week." "Our voyage is perilous." "If God has purpose for you there, He'll keep you safe in His hands." "If not..." "God bless you." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "He says that is his horse." " Why would it be his horse?" " Because it is on his land." "I took this horse from the sea." "He says you are a great liar, and he will fight you because you are a liar." " I have no desire to fight." " Then you must give him the horse." "No." "Fight me fairly!" " Why?" "Why should he?" "He is a knight." " And I am the baron of Ibelin." "He says the baron of Ibelin is old." "He knew him at Damascus." "I am the new one." "Stop!" "That's enough!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Ibelin, that's enough!" "Ibelin!" "Stop!" "You're taking it very well that I've killed your master." "It was the end of his time." "All is as God wills it." "Now, finish this." "Take me to Jerusalem." "Very good horse." "Take the horse... and be about your business." "This is your prize of battle." "I'm your prisoner, your slave should you wish it." "I have been a slave or very near to one." "I will never keep one nor suffer any to be kept." "Go." "The man you killed was a great cavalier among the Muslims." " His name was Mummad al Fais." " I will pray for him." "Your quality will be known among your enemies before ever you meet them, my friend." "Old man, where is it that Christ was crucified?" "God, what is it you want of me?" "How can you be in hell when you're in my heart?" " You must have known him." " What?" "Since you carry Godfrey's sword, you must have known him." " I did." " A man my size." " Yes." " And green eyes." "Blue." "Come with us... my lord." "No." "No." "Give me the towel." "Give me the towel." "Give me the towel." "A man who in France had not a house, is, in the Holy Land, the master of a city." "Stop." "You're hurting him." "Whoa." "Whoa." " Where's your master?" " I have none." "Give me some water." "Thank you for the drink." "If you happen to see Balian, the son of Godfrey, tell him that Sibylla called." "So, how find you Jerusalem?" "God does not speak to me." "Not even on the hill... where Christ died." "I am outside God's grace." " I have not heard that." " At any rate, it seems..." " I've lost my religion." " I put no stock in religion." "By the word "religion", I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the "will of God"." "I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers." "Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves." "And goodness," "what God desires, is here... and here." "By what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man... or not." "Come." "The king has made a peace with Salahadin these past six years." "He holds Jerusalem as a place for prayer for all faiths, as the Muslims did before we came." "These men are Templars." "They killed Arabs." "So they are dying for what the Pope would command them to do." "Yes, but not Christ, I think." "Nor this king." " Who says I raid?" " That witness... all of Jerusalem, Holy God and me." "That witness, if you call him that, is a Saracen." "He lies." "There will come a day, Reynald de Chatillon, when you are not protected by your title." "Oh?" "When will that be?" "Alert me, Tiberias, when men are equal and the kingdom of Heaven has arrived." "Those Templars have been hung for a raid that I know you commanded." "Prove it." "I will wait at Kerak until you do." "The king will take your castle of Kerak, Reynald." "Try to take it, Tiberias." "I'll be there." "I cannot protect your caravans, unless you agree to be escorted by our soldiers." "I trade to make money, not to offend God by associating with Christians." " But you will take Christian gold." " Gold is gold." "Of course." "My lord Tiberias." "My lord." "It's true." "You're your father's son." "He was my friend." "I'm yours." "Godfrey dead." "It could have come at a better time." "Come." "It was shouted in the streets that you killed a great lord of Syria." "Salahadin himself sent word that your fight did not breach the peace, that you had cause." "What know you of Salahadin?" "That he is king of the Saracens and that he surrounds this kingdom." "He has 200,000 men in Damascus alone." "He could win a war if he goes to war." "And he's daily given cause for war by fanatics newly from Europe." "By Templar bastards like Reynald de Chatillon." "Here, from this room, I keep the peace." "As far as it can be kept." "But..." "Salahadin and the king between them..." "would make a better world." "If it lives only for a while, Tiberias, it still has lived." "What did your father tell you of your... obligations?" "That I was to be a good knight." "I pray the world and Jerusalem can accommodate such a... rarity... as a perfect knight." "Have you dined?" "The princess Sibylla of Jerusalem and her husband, Guy de Lusignan." "So, how many knights did you find in France?" "50." "They've sworn allegiance to the king?" "Of course, Tiberias." "Obviously." " You sit at my table?" " Is it not the king's table?" "Is it?" "I have not seen a king at it for some years." "I cannot eat." "I..." "I'm finicky about company." "In France, this could not inherit." "But here, there are no civilized rules." "I have business in the East." "My wife does not lament my absence." "That is either the best of wives, or the very, very worst." " Do you go to meet Reynald?" " No, my lord." "He is in disfavour." "I am a member of this court." "Why should I make leave with that... troublemaker?" "To the very best of wives." " The king will see you now." " The king would see Godfrey's son." "I'll take him." "This morning, I spoke without knowing who you were." "I knew who you were." "It's unmistakable." "I loved your father." "And I shall love you." "Do you fear being with me?" "No  and yes." "A woman in my place has two faces." "One for the world, and one which she wears in private." "With you, I'll be only Sibylla." "Tiberias thinks me unpredictable." "I am unpredictable." "No." "There." "Come forward." "I am glad to meet Godfrey's son." "He was one of my greatest teachers." "He was there when, playing with the other boys, my arm was cut." "And it was he, not my father's physicians, who noticed that I felt no pain." "He wept when he gave my father the news that I am a leper." "The Saracens say that this disease is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom." "As wretched as I am, these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell is far more severe and lasting." "If that's true, I call it unfair." "Come." "Sit." " Do you play?" " No." "The whole world is in chess." "Any move can be the death of you." "Do anything except remain where you started, and... you can't be sure of your end." "Were you sure of your end once?" " I was." " What was it?" "To be buried 100 yards from where I was born." " And now?" " Now I sit in Jerusalem, and look upon a king." "When I was 16, I won a great victory." "I felt in that moment I would live to be 100." "Now I know I shall not see 30." "None of us know our end, really." "Or what hand will guide us there." "A king may move a man." "A father may claim a son." "That man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game." "Remember, howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone." "Even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power." "When you stand before God, you cannot say "But I was told by others to do thus", or that virtue was not convenient at the time." "This will not suffice." "Remember that." "I will." " Do you know what this is?" " The fortification." "What do you think of it?" "You disapprove." "How would you improve it?" "A cross." "Or better, a star." "Like this." "That way, no part of the fortress may be approached without being exposed to fire from another part." "Yes, I like this." "Your walls are more difficult to address." "Very good." "You will go to your father's house at Ibelin, your house now, and from there you will protect the pilgrim road." "Safeguard, in particular, the Jews and the Muslims." "All are welcome in Jerusalem, not only because it's expedient, but because it is right." "Protect the helpless, and then maybe one day, when I am helpless you will come and protect me." "There, my lord." "Ibelin." ""Quod sumus... hoc eritis."" ""Such as we are..." "you will be."" "Your father was important." "His lands were not." "That will suit me." "My lord, you have 1,000 acres, 100 families." "You have Christians, Jews, Muslims." "You have 50 pairs of oxen." "This is a poor and dusty place." "What we do not have..." "is water." "Right." "Stone the walls." "I'm on my way to Caana." "Where Jesus changed water to wine." "But a better trick would be to change you to a nobleman." "That should be easy." "In France, a few yards of silk can make a nobleman." " I expect your hospitality." " It is given." "Latif." "But this isn't adultery." "It's washing." "But if it were adultery, which it isn't, the Commandments are not for people like us." "They are for the others." "Did they give you something to eat?" "I said to wait until the master returned." "My cook will prepare something while you wash." " What?" " It seems years since I've seen a woman eat." "Truly?" "I was watching you today." "You've been given a patch of dirt and it seems... you will build a new Jerusalem here." "It is my land." "Who would I be if I did not try to make it better?" "They try to be one." "One heart, one morality..." "Their prophet says "Submit"." "Jesus says..." ""Decide."" "Did you decide on Guy?" "Guy was chosen by my mother." "My first husband died before our son was born." " I was only 15." " I've met your son." " I could stay here for ever." " This house is yours." "Why do you think I'm here?" "I know that lbelin is not on the way to Caana." " What else do you know, my lord?" " I know that you are a princess." " And I am no lord." " You're a knight." "Neither earned... nor proved." "I'm not here with you because I'm..." "I'm bored or... wicked." "I'm here because... because in the East, between one person and another," "there is only light." "Halt!" " This caravan is armed, Reynald." " Good." "No sport otherwise." "They've seen us." "Go after them." "The rider is getting away." "In broad desert, nothing will come of it." "Nothing." "I'd prefer not to be hanged before my wife is queen." "Don't worry." ""Who but Reynald", they'll say." "It's always me." "They'll believe it in Jerusalem, I assure you." " You were at Nazareth, praying." " You're a dangerous man, Reynald." "If the war's to be now or later, I would have it now." " How long can the leper last?" " God wills it." "God wills it!" " God wills it!" " Jerusalem!" "It's you." "This is from France." "I've never been there." "This from my brother." "This to remind us of death..." "And this..." "I bought the day I saw you." "You lie." "Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon, with the Templars, have attacked a Saracen caravan." " Silence!" " It was no caravan." "It was an army headed for Bethlehem to desecrate the birthplace of our Lord." "Reynald, with the Templars, have broken the king's pledge of peace." "Salahadin will come into this kingdom..." "Tiberias knows more than a Christian should about Salahadin's intentions." "That I would rather live with men than kill them... is certainly why you are alive." "That sort of Christianity has its uses, I suppose." "We must not go to war with Salahadin." "We do not want it and we may not win it." "Blasphemy!" "An army of Jesus Christ which bears His holy cross cannot be beaten." "Is the kind Tiberias suggest that it could be?" "There must be war." "God wills it." "God wills it!" "Silence!" "Salahadin has crossed the Jordan with 200,000 men." "He'll make first for Kerak and Reynald de Chatillon." "My lord..." "We must meet him before he reaches Kerak." "I will lead the army." "My lord, if you travel, you'll die." "Send word to Balian to protect the villagers." "Assemble the army." " What becomes of us?" " The world will decide." "The world always decides." "Somebody's shot!" "Somebody's shot!" "My lord, the king is marching on Kerak." "Saracen cavalry, they're coming to close Reynald in." "These people are not safe outside the walls." "Salahadin will certainly come behind them." "Go into the fortress now." "Visitors." "My lord Balian." "My lord Balian." "My lord Reynald prays you bring your force into Kerak." "Thank you, but no." "If we do, these people will die." "We'll hold the Saracen cavalry until the king arrives." "So be it." "We cannot attack that..." "and live." "My lady." " What do you look at?" " A knight." "His men." "Are you with me?" "Divide!" "Your quality will be known among your enemies before ever you meet them, my friend." " You were not that man's servant." " No." "He was my servant." " What becomes of us?" " As you deserve." "You reap what you sow." "You have heard of this, no?" "Get up." "You may go into Kerak, but you will die there." "My master is here." "Tell my lord Salahadin..." "that Jerusalem has come." "Salahadin." "I pray you pull back your cavalry and leave this matter to me." "I pray you retire unharmed to Damascus." "Reynald of Chatillon will be punished." "I swear it." "Withdraw or we will all die here." "Do we have terms?" "We have terms." "I will send you my physicians." "Assalamu alaikum." "Wa alaikum assalam." "I am Reynald of Chatillon!" "On your knees." "Lower." "I... am Jerusalem." "And you..." "Reynald, will give me the kiss of peace." "Guard." " What are you looking at?" " A dead man." "Reynald de Chatillon, you are arrested and condemned." "If you continue like this, I shall have to find a use for you." " If God can spare you, that is." " God does not know me." "Yes, but I do." "I need you in Jerusalem." " Assalamu alaikum." " Wa alaikum assalam." "Why did we retire?" "Why?" "God did not favour him." "God alone determines the results of battles." "The results of battles are determined by God, but also by preparation, numbers, the absence of disease and the availability of water." "One cannot maintain a siege with the enemy behind." "How many battles did God win for the Muslims before I came?" "That is, before God determined that I should come." "Few enough." "That's because we were sinful." "It is because you were unprepared." "If you think that way, you shall not be king for long." "When I'm not king, I quake for Islam." "Thank you for your visit." "Thank you for your visit." "You promised." "You promised to return Jerusalem." "Don't forget." "If I do not deliver war, I have no peace." "The king of Jerusalem will die soon." "When he is dead, the boy will become king of a kingdom he cannot control." "The Christians will make the war you need." "I am Reynald of Chatillon!" "I am Reynald of Chatillon!" "Reynald of Chatillon!" "I am..." "Reynald of Chatillon!" "The things that we have left undone plague us as death comes." "That is why to the dying there is no comfort but the Lord." "Spare me your sermon." "Go and prepare your people for the coronation of my nephew." "Your confession, my lord." "I shall confess to God when I see Him... not to you." "Now, leave me." "You sometimes dream you are my wife." "Let's pretend you are." "I must go." "We can't meet in the city." "Then we will leave it." "And live how?" "Live where?" "Balian, my brother's dying." "My son will be king, and I his regent." "I must rule for him." "And not just in Jerusalem, but Ankara, Ashkelon, Beirut..." "And Guy?" "Always surround your knights with foot soldiers." "These rooms are not yours." "One day I will be the husband I was commissioned to be." "And perhaps not, my dear." "Your lover has 100 knights and the love of the king." "I, the largest force in the kingdom and the support of the Templars." "I can do without the king's affection." "But as for your love..." "Then we must come to an understanding." "You need my knights, or his rule will be bloody and brief." "So, my friend, the time has come to conclude my affairs." "If I leave the army with Guy, he will take power through my sister and make war on the Muslims." "We have decided that you shall take command of the army of Jerusalem." "Will you defend my nephew while he's king?" "Whatever you ask, I will serve." "No." "Hear it all before you answer." "Would you marry my sister Sibylla, were she free of Guy de Lusignan?" " And Guy?" " He will be executed." "Along with his knights who do not swear your allegiance." " I cannot be the cause of that." " "Whatever you ask, I will serve."" "A king may move a man, you said." "But the soul belongs to the man." "Yes, I did." "You have my love and my answer." "So be it." "Why do you protect Guy?" "Hmm?" "He's a man who insults you, hates you." "He'd kill you himself if he had the chance." "But for the salvation of this kingdom, would it be so hard to marry Sibylla?" "Jerusalem has no need of a perfect knight." "No." "It is a kingdom of conscience." "Or nothing." "Sibylla." "Who are you to refuse a king?" "I will have power, without Guy or with him." "Guy isn't dead at your say-so, or my brother's, but at mine." "Do you have any idea of Jerusalem, except that it is yours?" "You will never hold it in peace, as your brother did." " It will be war." " My grandfather took Jerusalem in blood." "I'll keep it the same way, or any way I can." "I am what I am." "I offer you that." "And the world." "You say no." "Do you think I'm like Guy?" "That I would sell my soul?" "There'll be a day when you will wish you had done a little evil... to do a greater good." "Reynald." "My lord." "Do you really think the king wants you as head of the army once he's gone?" "Think your wife does?" " I have a problem." " Ah, yes." "Balian." "I saw him at Kerak." "Celebrated." "You must beware a popular man." "Kill him." " What's that?" " England." " The king?" " Richard, and his father was Henry." " Good." "And that?" " France." "Will I ever see France?" "Maybe one day." "But you must be king here." " How many islands can you see here?" " One, two..." " The king will see you." " No, I can't." "I can't bear to look at him." "He knows this." "It doesn't mean I don't love him." "Go, madam." "Oh." "Hello." "I was dreaming." "I was back in that summer..." "when I defeated Sahaladin." "Do you remember it?" "I was only 16." " You were a beautiful boy." " Yes." "You've always been beautiful." "In every way." "My beautiful sister." "I've missed you." "So beautiful." "I'm sorry if I've caused you any pain." "Remember me as I was." "I will." "Sibylla." "If my son has your knights... you have your wife." "Benedicimus domine." "Behold your rightful king and heir to the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem." "Hail!" "Hail!" "Hail!" "Long live the king in prosperity." "Long live the king!" "Long live the king!" "Long live the king!" "One may stare into the light, until one becomes the light." "I've done it many times." "There's your religion." "One spark, a creosote bush." "There's your Moses." "I did not hear it speak." "That does not mean that there is no God." " Do you love her?" " Yes." "The heart will mend." "Your duty is to the people of the city." " I go to pray." " For what?" "For the strength to endure what is to come." "And what is to come?" "The reckoning is to come for what was done 100 years before." "The Muslims will never forget." "Nor should they." "My lady, your letter to Salahadin." "Peace to be sustained, borders respected, trade allowed to continue." "Is this wise?" "To show your intentions?" "Better, surely, to let him wonder?" "We keep my brother's peace." "Sign." "Take the seal." "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk." "Be careful." "Put it back, my darling." "Hey!" "There is a rumour." "We must condemn it immediately." "Call it treason." "And kill those who whisper it." "The rumour will die if we show the boy as active..." "How long before he wears a mask?" "Will you have one made for him?" "How did my boy deserve it?" "Jerusalem is dead, Tiberias." "No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell." "I will go to hell instead." " Do you remember the story of Louan?" " No." "No?" " Do you remember why?" " No." "And he was so lonely that..." " he called all the gods." " Why?" "Because he was desperate." "As a proof of love." "Ah, dites-moi, ma mere, ma mere" "Ce que j'entends cogner ici" "Ma fille, c'est le charpentier" "Qui raccomode" "Ma fille, c'est la procession" "Qui fait..." "Is this why you came to the Holy Land?" "Come on!" "Leave us." " The boy is in heaven?" " Yes." "His mother has more backbone than I do." "She's in the crypt, and will not come out." " Have the Templars killed Balian?" " Yes." "Reynald..." "Give me a war." "That is what I do." "Behold your rightful queen and heir to the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem." "Hail!" "Hail!" "Hail!" "I, Sibylla, by the grace of the holy spirit, choose as king Guy de Lusignan, the man who's been my husband." "With the help of God, he will rule his people well." "Long live the king in prosperity." "Long live the king." "Long live the king." "Long live the king." "I am what I am." "Someone has to be." "Salahadin's sister." "I know." "I know." " Assalamu alaikum." " Wa alaikum assalam." "Speak." "The sultan demands the return of his sister's body, the heads of those responsible and the surrender of Jerusalem." "Does he?" "What answer do you return to Salahadin?" "This." "Take the head to Damascus." "I am Jerusalem." "Assemble the army!" "Now this assembly of barons and all Jerusalem is complete." "There are those among you who may disagree with our succession, but it is war." "And I... am... the king." "We march at once." " What say this council?" " Aye!" "No." "If you must have war, this army cannot move away from water." "You have a chance to hold the city." "But if you move out against Salahadin, this army will be destroyed and the city left defenceless." "When I wish a blacksmith to advise me in war, I will tell him." "Salahadin wants you to come out." "He is waiting for you to make that mistake." "He knows his men." " We should meet the enemies of God." " Aye!" "And so we shall." "Then you do so without my knights." "Then I will have the glory, Tiberias." "You had yours years and years ago." "It's time for mine." "Tiberias." "When Salahadin has finished with Guy, he will come." "We must look to the defences." "The boy is dead." " Guy." " No." "The boy was leprous like his uncle." "She gave him peace." "She let him go." "And Jerusalem..." "along with him." " You go with the army?" " My order is with the army." " You go to certain death." " All death is certain." "I shall tell your father what I've seen you become." "..cogner ici" "Ma fille, c'est le charpentier" "Qui raccomode..." "When Salahadin comes... we're not defensible." "Save the people from what I have done." "I will." "God wills it." " Can you sense it?" " There has been no messenger." "I drink water for what it is." " I did not give the cup to you." " No, my lord." "A king does not kill a king." "Were you not close enough to a great king to learn by his example?" "I have given Jerusalem my whole life." "Everything." "First, I thought we... were fighting for God." "Then I realised we were fighting for wealth and..." "land." "I was ashamed." " Tiberias." " There is no more Jerusalem." "I shall go to..." "Cyprus." "Will you come with me?" "No." "You are your father's son." "Salahadin must move his army from water to water." "That gives you four days, maybe five." "God be with you." "He's no longer with me." " Mark 400." " 400." "400!" " They're here." " It is only one man." "No." "They're here." "This is the only section of the wall that they can attack once they begin to bombard the walls." "They will stop only to avoid hitting their own siege towers as they come in." "We'll take the bombardment." "When they cease firing, we fire." "We must leave the city." " How exactly, my lord bishop?" " The fastest horses from a lesser gate." " And the people?" " It is unfortunate about the people, but it is God's will." "Silence!" "It has fallen to us to defend Jerusalem and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made." "None of us took this city from Muslims." "No Muslim of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost." "We fight over an offence we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended." "What is Jerusalem?" "Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down." "The Muslim places of worship lie over yours." "Which is more holy?" "The wall?" "The mosque?" "The sepulchre?" "Who has claim?" "No one has claim." "All have claim." " That is blasphemy!" " Be quiet." "We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls." "My lord." "My lord." "My lord." "How are we to defend Jerusalem without knights?" " We have no knights." " Truly." " What is your condition?" " I'm servant to the patriarch." " He's, uh, one of my servants." " Is he?" "You were born a servant." "Kneel." "Every man at arms... or capable of bearing them, kneel!" "On your knees!" "Be without fear in the face of your enemies." "Be brave and upright that God may love thee." "Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death." "Safeguard the helpless." "That is your oath." "And that is so you remember it." "Rise a knight." "Rise a knight." " Master gravedigger." " It is you." "Not what I was." "Nor are you." "Rise a knight." "Who do you think you are?" "Will you alter the world?" "Does... making a man a knight make him a better fighter?" "Yes." "Almaric." "If you survive, Ibelin is yours." "You are master of Ibelin." "I confirm it." "Rise a knight, and baron of Ibelin." "But... it is a poor and dusty place." " My lord?" " No." "When... will it begin?" "Soon." "Ballista!" "Get them to the walls." "Bring water!" "Get the machines to the walls." "Push!" "Push!" " Why do they not fire back?" " They wait." "That was only the first day." "There may be 100 more." "Salahadin... will show no mercy." "We must hold out." "Force him to offer terms." " What terms?" " We fight for the people." "Their safety and freedom." " Mercy." " No." "I cannot." " 400." " 400." " 400." " Fire!" "Fire!" " 300." " 300." " Fire!" " Fire!" " 150." " 150." "Fire!" "Hold your fire!" "Hold!" "Fire!" "Oil!" "Now!" "Fire!" " Who defends?" " Balian of Ibelin, the son of Godfrey." "Godfrey?" "Godfrey nearly killed me in the Lebanon." " Truly, I did not know he had a son." " It was his son at Kerak." " The one you let live?" " Yes." " Perhaps you should not have." " Perhaps I should've had a different teacher." "Fire!" "You are not a sister." "We are what we do." "And I'm a man who's travelled a long way to die for nothing." "What would you say to that?" " I would say that I'm sorry." " And I'm sorry for you..." "Queen of Jerusalem." "When a body is burnt, it cannot be resurrected until Judgement Day." "If we do not burn these bodies, we will all be dead of disease in three days." "God will understand, my lord." "And if he doesn't... then He is not God, and we need not worry." " Assalamu alaikum" " Wa alaikum assalam." "The wall where the Christopher Gate used to be has been weakened." "Yes, usually when a gate is blocked in, it is weaker than the wall around it." " Or stronger." " It is weaker." "Rashid has seen it." "This will be our door into Jerusalem." "This is where we will make our stand." "We must prepare." "Brothers!" "Brothers!" "God has sent you this day." "You will take no prisoners." "As they did, so shall it be done." "When this wall comes down... there will be no quarter." "If you throw down your arms, your families will die." "We can break this army here." "So I say let them come." "Let them come!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Remember me in France, master gravedigger." "My lord..." "They will ask for terms." "They must ask for terms." "Convert to Islam." "Repent later." "You've taught me a lot about religion, your Eminence." "Will you yield the city?" "Before I lose it, I will burn it to the ground." "Your holy places, ours." "Every last thing in Jerusalem that drives men mad." "I wonder if it would not be better if you did." " You will destroy it?" " Every stone." "Every Christian knight you kill will take ten Saracens with him." "You will destroy your army here and never raise another." "I swear to God that to take this city will be the end of you." "Your city is full of women and children." "If my army will die, so will your city." "Do you offer terms?" "I ask none." "I will give every soul safe conduct to Christian lands." "Every soul." "The women, the children, the old..." "And all your knights and soldiers and your queen." "Your king, such as he is, I leave to you and what God will make of him." "No one will be harmed." "I swear to God." "The Christians butchered every Muslim within the walls when they took this city." "I am not those men." "I am Salahadin." "Salahadin." "Then, under these terms, I surrender Jerusalem." "Assalamu alaikum." "And peace be with you." "What is Jerusalem worth?" "Nothing." "Everything." "I have surrendered Jerusalem." "All will be safely escorted to the sea." "If this is the kingdom of Heaven... let God do with it as He wills." "Your brother's kingdom was here and here." "That kingdom can never be surrendered." "What should I do?" "I'm still the queen of Acre, Ashkelon, Tripoli." "Decide not to be a queen, and I will come to you." "The perfect knight." "Is that what you think you are, is it?" "We are all of us what we do." "Do it." "When you rise again, if you rise... rise a knight." "This horse..." "It is not a very good horse." "I will not keep it." "Thank you." "And if God does not love you, how could you have done all the things that you have done?" "Peace be upon you." "Wa alaikum assalam." "A queen never walks." "And yet you are walking." "Forward!" "Forward!" "Halt!" "We crusade to recover the kingdom of Jerusalem." "You go to where the men speak Italian." "And then continue until they speak something else." "We come by this road to find Balian, who was defender of Jerusalem." "I am the blacksmith." "And I am the king of England." "I am the blacksmith."
