All language subtitles for Deadliest warrior s03e02 Joan of Arc vs. William the Conqueror.eng

For the first time
on Deadliest Warrior

we have a female warrior.

♪

Joan of Arc.

Prince William, the Conqueror.

Let's look Joan of Arc.

♪

At 17, she's leading many
in the battle.

♪

♪

I'm really excited,
and I know

For the last two seasons
we've been waiting

For a female to step up,

And we've got a female here

Who'gonna bring her
a-game.

This is gonna be
a great matchup.

I can't wait.

Listen, we did not
make this easy on joan at all.

You want to challenge her.

And what better warrior
to do that with

Than william the conqueror?

He is
the duke of normandy.

William is driven.

He attacks England
at the battle of hastings.

And in that victory,

He is known from
that point forward

As william the conqueror.

These two warriors
helped shape medieval europe.

Joan of arc,
the teenage french fighter

Whose battlefield heroics

Defeated England's
superior army

And ended
the hundred years war...

Versus william the conqueror,

The daring
and deadly french duke

Who crushed
his english enemies

And crowned himself king.

To find out,
the history of war

And modern science collide...

and reveals the physical

And psychological traits that

This groundbreaking data

Will be paired
with historical research

And entered into an
all-new digital combat engine.

Two legendary combatants
will be resurrected,

History will be rewritten...

But only one
will be crowned...

Welcome to the fight club

Where our experts will
unlock new historical insights

To determine
who is deadliest--

Joan of arc...

The 15th century
french warrior saint

Who answered
the call of god

And saved France
from english rule,

Or william the conqueror,

The 11th century
french duke of normandy

Who invaded England,
killed their king,

And took the throne.

Let's look
at joan first.

She's 5'4", 125 pounds,

And only 17 years old.

William the conqueror,
he was 38 years old,

5'10", 215 pounds.

We're considering
the time period

During
the battle of hastings

Where he was big, muscular--
he's in his prime.

But let's talk about

The most important
difference here, the gender.

Alpha male warrior,

They're gonna be aggressive.

It's all about testosterone.

You contrast that
with a female--

They love to strategize.

And what's
really important here,

She will be thinking
in a different way

Nobody
has experienced before

Which may lend
to be an advantage

Or a disadvantage
that'll play out.

I can't imagine
what it would be like

As a soldier
on the field

To see this very young woman
who led from the front.

It's really interesting
to see how joan

Rallies her troops

Time and time again.

I can't agree
with you more, mack.

Part of the fact
of her being a female

Was answered by
her connection with god.

How can she
be the leader?

Well, it's because
she's the chosen one.

There's no question these
are two very dynamic leaders,

But let's talk
about their weapons.

For the first time
on deadliest warrior,

Our tests are going to stage
a medieval castle siege.

So on william's side we've
got that torsion catapult

Designed
to lob projectiles

Over the top
of the castle wall.

And on joan's side,

We've got
a 12-pound siege cannon

Designed
to go through the castle wall.

Now, we're also
gonna be assessing

The respective armors
by using motion capture tests

With and without
their armor on.

I really can't wait to see
how the weapons perform

And see the x-factors
go into the matchup.

The winner of this
medieval battle of the sexes

Will be determined by
the all-new

Digital combat engine
created by robert daly.

A former green beret,
daly has designed

Over 30
military-based video games,

Including
the deadliest warrior game.

His latest high-tech creation

Will evaluate
complex weapons data

Plus over
100 different x-factors,

Critical intangibles
that are given values

Based on analysis
of the warriors' battle plans,

Tactics,
and psychological profiles.

Okay, let's not avoid

The 800-pound gorilla
in this room.

The approach a male takes
and the approach a female takes

Is definitely different,
and it's gotta be factored in.

You know,
you're right, doc.

You're talking about not only
how does it affect them,

But how does it
affect their troops?

It'll really
come down to joan of arc

And how she used her
intuition on the battlefield.

But at the same time,

You got to remember
that william has been

In the battlefield
his entire life,

And that is going to
definitely play into the sim.

Wielding
joan of arc's weapons,

Medieval sword and combat
expert claire dodin.

Rraah!

[boom]

Joan would win
simply because

She was so courageous
and fearless.

She managed to inspire
the whole army.

They believed
she was holy,

Sent to them by god.

Providing in-depth
historical analysis

Of joan's life
and battlefield tactics,

Medieval military historian
tim pickles.

At the time
of joan's birth,

France and England
were embroiled

In the hundred years war.

In 1428,
the invading english monarchy

Was close to
seizing control of France.

The french were
on the threshold of defeat

When an unlikely hero rose up
to lead them into battle.

Joan of arc
was a peasant girl.

She started hearing
these voices from god

Telling her to drive
the english out of France.

She convinces
the local lord of this.

He sends her
to the dauphin.

The heir to the french throne,
the dauphin,

Knew of a prophecy
among his people

In which an armed maiden
would rise up and rescue France.

Convinced joan
was this god-sent warrior,

He made the astounding decision
to give her full control

Of his armies.

Although it might
seem surprising

That a young,
inexperienced girl

Should be put in
command of the french armies,

You have to remember
that the french

Were getting
absolutely nowhere,

So what had
the dauphin got to lose?

The prophecy about joan

Really began
to start coming true

At the siege of orleans.

Orleans was France's last
stronghold against english rule.

Joan arrived and
rallied her people to victory,

Transforming the peasant girl
into a legend of war.

She came from nothing
to be the catalyst that won

The hundred years war
for France

And drove the english
finally out of France.

But can joan of arc defeat
a ruthless military mastermind

Who crushed a monarchy
400 years earlier?

Taking up arms
for william the conqueror,

A martial arts and medieval
weapons specialist,

Jason mcneil.

Aah!

William started
leading troops into battle

When he was a teenager.

So he learned his craft
on the battlefield.

It was a case
of do or die.

Providing insight
into the battle strategies

Of william's norman conquest,
dr. Stephen morillo,

Author of more than 30 books
and historical essays

On medieval warfare.

William
was the duke of normandy,

Which is one of
the duchies of northern France.

He was related
to edward the confessor,

The king of England.

William was convinced

He would inherit
king edward's throne.

But when edward died,

William learned
another englishman,

Harold godwinson,
was crowned king.

So william felt betrayed.

He's ready to claim
what he thinks is his right.

In 1066,
determined to seize the crown

And rule England,

William leads
an armada of 600 ships

And over 7,000 men across
the english channel to hastings.

Here he attacks king godwinson's
heavily fortified troops

In one of the bloodiest battles
in british history.

William kills harold.

He kills almost the entire
anglo-saxon ruling class.

He's then on the road
to becoming the king of England.

The battle of hastings
is one of the most decisive

And important battles
in history.

Medieval warfare began
with long-range siege weapons.

Our battle of the sexes
blasts off

With a head-to-head clash
between joan's siege cannon

And william's
torsion catapult.

And we're here to determine
which is more effective

At conquering a castle.

And with differences
in technology,

You see differences
in strategy.

Joan of arc strikes first
with the siege cannon--

A cutting-edge killer used
to break through castle walls,

Allowing attacking forces
to storm in.

This is a wrought iron cannon.
It weighs over 1,000 pounds.

The cannonballs weigh
between 10 and 12 pounds,

And they were
made of granite.

Joan would use
the cannon to bombard

The walls of
the fortification...

Then eventually
bring the wall down.

To test
the siege cannon's accuracy,

Damage, and reload time,

The joan of arc team
will fire five cannonballs

From a distance
of 50 yards.

Their target,
a simulated castle wall

Which accurately approximates
the designs and materials

Used in medieval times.

Now, because joan's cannon
was a crew-served weapon,

We'll have two of
deadliest warrior's armorers

Helping you out.

Remember,
you will be on the clock!

Fire at will!

Here we go, baby!
12 pounds!

Three, two, e...

[boom]

All: Ooh-ho-ho!

Guys, that was loud.

I think
we need more gunpowder.

To reload the cannon,
a charge of black powder

Is rammed
to the back of the gun

Followed separately
by a cannonball.

The powder charge
is then pierced,

And a fuse is placed
into the vent hole.

Fire in the hole,
come on, baby.

All: Ooh!

That's awesome!

These guys are moving.

I like that,
a little bit of hustle.

Much faster.
We're getting better at it.

Oh! Yeah!
Nice!

The wall is weakening,
and geoff ups the ante.

To get a better sense
of accuracy and killing force,

A ballistics gel torso

Representing
an unarmored soldier

Is put in the line of fire.

Let's check out
the accuracy.

Hit the gel!

[boom]
oh-ho-ho!

Just missed it
to the right in the wall.

[laughter]

The final shot,
the last chance to kill

The human target
and bring down the wall.

Hit the gel!

Oh!
No way!

That does not look good!

Guys, guys, guys,
take a look at this.

Look at this
permanent cavity.

You could literally
see the wall

Through this guy's body.

If this is
a weight-bearing wall,

You've got all that weight of
the castle coming down on this.

That wall's coming down.

I wanted to see how accurate
you were with that cannon.

You delivered
straight through the heart

With an average reload time
of 1 minute, 24 seconds.

That was fast.

On top of all this,
what we have to add into it

Is joan's intuition.

She seemed to know
exactly how to use

This new technology,
where to place it.

It was definitely
a battle winner for her.

Intuition--
that will be an x-factor

We plug into
the sim for this one.

Our catapult
can reload twice as fast,

And if you think it's impressive
going through the chest,

Imagine it
raining down from the sky.

Yeah, clearly this is,
if you wanna take down a wall,

A great technology.

However, when william
took the castle,

He had a whole castle.

He didn't have
a half-destroyed castle

In enemy territory.

Coming up,
william's catapult fires back,

Mack dissects the battlefield

Tactics of these
two legendary warriors,

And swords clash
in the circle of doom.

Joan of arc.
William the conqueror.

Aah!
Who is deadliest?

Joan of arc,
the 15th century

French peasant girl
turned daring combat commander.

She was betrayed by
french nobles loyal to England

And burned at the stake
by her british enemies...

Versus william the conqueror,

The 11th century
norman french duke

Who seized
the throne of England

And began a 20-year
bloody reign of terror

Known as
the norman conquest.

William fought nearly 50 years
without ever being defeated.

His ability
to strike hard,

Strike fast,
but strike only when necessary,

Is what really
sets william apart.

We've tested the accuracy

And destructive power
of joan of arc's siege cannon.

Now william the conqueror
strikes back

With his own
long-range weapon,

The torsion catapult--

Ancient heavy artillery
that first saw battle in 900 bc.

After painstaking research,
deadliest warrior

Weapons builder dave baker
has meticulously resurrected

William's enemy annihilator

In the armory
just below the fight club.

Sometimes called the onager,
the mangonel, the tormentum.

But we call it
a torsion catapult.

Now, it gets its name

From the torsion
of the skein of rope down here.

Now, there's
600 feet of rope

Twisted
until all that pressure

Is transferred here to
what's called the throwing arm.

A team of horses
would pull this down,

Creating even more
tension on that rope.

Once it's released, that torsion
and that skein of rope

Makes that arm fling forward,

Making this one
of the most versatile

And terrifying weapons
of the middle ages.

It's very simple,
but effective.

A range of
about 100 yards,

We're gonna be
firing projectiles

Anywhere from
15 to 25 pounds.

William would fling rocks
and other projectiles

Over the walls
of the castle,

Trying to destroy resources
within the castle,

Injure people,
weaken the defenses generally.

To test the catapult
for accuracy, damage,

And reload time,
william's experts will

Fire five shots over
a simulated castle wall

Set 50 yards down range.

The objective...

Launch projectiles over the wall

To take out as many target
as possible,

Including guards
along the ramparts

And villagers
in the castle courtyard.

Their ammunition--
four stones and a pig's head

Representing the dead animals
often used by medieval armies

To spread
the bubonic plague.

Geoff will use a radar gun

To measure
the catapult's velocity.

Let's put an end to the
village people once and for all.

[laughter]

On three, two, one, go!

Ready to fire.
Here it comes, boys and girls.

There you go.
Oh-ho-ho!

All: Yeah!

The first shot
clears the wall

But misses every target.

36 miles per hour
on that one, boys.

A modern-day winch replaces
the team of horses

William used to power the
catapult in the 11th century.

Shot two--the disease-delivering
pig's head.

Bubonic plague,
coming at ya.

Let 'er rip.

All: Oh-ho-ho!

Biological warfare--

Medieval style.

Tension on.

Wow.

See, it's all
that tension coming back.

Hold.

Let her rip.

Ooh-ho-ho!
It's good!

Ready to fire.

It's up.

No way!
Yeah!

No way!
No way!

Oh, yeah!

[laughter]

All five shots
cleared the castle wall.

Three were instant kills.

Average reload time
one minute, one second.

And that
is an unbelievable shot.

Take a look
at this, guys.

Here is
the pig's head.

Within
a three-year period,

20 million people died
of the bubonic plague.

That's
1/3 of the population.

So obviously
a very effective yet primitive

Biological warfare technique.

When you see the power
that we can generate

And the distance we can get,

And the speed
with which we could reload,

It's just incredible.

But you can't get away
from the fact that unless

The guys inside
invite you in,

You're still out here,

And we have blasted through
the wall and taken it.

He builds
these things on the spot.

He can repair them
on the spot.

He doesn't need ammunition,
he doesn't need to have

A special supply
of gun powder or anything.

And that is
what we call logistics,

And that's an x-factor
that we plug into the sim.

Joan of arc's siege cannon
or william the conqueror's

Torsion catapult...

Which weapon
gives its warrior the edge?

There it is.

All: Ooh-ho-ho!

I suspect
that may be why

Catapults
are replaced by cannons.

[laughter]

Just throwing
it out there.

But I think
in a siege scenario,

Taking weeks or months
to actually take place,

You're gonna see
a reduction in black powder,

Running out of
cannonballs themselves.

Torsion catapults
had been battle-tested,

But this cannon
was a question mark.

And we saw
that it delivered.

Listen, there's no doubt
if you look at the research

There is an opportunity

For the cannon
to blow up in your face.

But if you have great training
and you know how to use it,

You see results
that this cannon produced

Over and over
and over again.

Just that sound
is so intimidating.

You keep hearing that thing
over and over again.

You know it's gonna have
a big psychological impact

On the inside.

Edge?
My edge, joan's siege cannon.

For long-range weapons...
Edge--joan of arc.

Coming up, it's still
anybody's battle to win

As joan and william
unleash a hell storm.

And later,
mack tears into the tactics

Behind two of the greatest
medieval victories--

The battle of hastings
and the siege of orleans.

Joan oarc,
william the conqueror...

Who is
the deadliest warrior?

William the conqueror.

He invaded and defeated England
in the 11th century,

Succeeding where both napoleon
and hitler would later fail...

Versus joan of arc,

The 15th century divinely
inspired peasant girl

Turned french heroine.

Some claimed her flawless
battlefield tactics

Were guided
by the hand of god.

The most incredible thing
about her

Was this
amazing natural instinct

That she seemed to have

For military affairs.

The voices are telling her
it is her mission

To attack her enemies
wherever they are

And wherever they are strongest.

[boom]

After long-range siege weapons
breached enemy strongholds,

Medieval knights advanced

Under the cover
of crossbow fire.

William the conqueror's
killer of choice--

The composite crossbow.

This weapon killed
the king of England

And won
the battle of hastings.

It is deadly
in its simplicity.

There's no pulls,
there's no cranks.

About 75 pounds of pressure.

One man loads,
and you're done.

You've got
a much higher rate of fire

Because you can load
and fire much more quickly.

So typically crossbows
were used to support

Advancing troops
climbing up siege ladders

Against castle defenders.

To assess
each crossbow for accuracy,

Maneuverability,
and reload time,

Our experts
will shoot their way

Through a medieval battlefield

And attack
an enemy fortress.

The castle wall is manned
by two static targets

Positioned
in the arrow slits

And four moving targets
along the ramparts.

The experts
will fire three bolts apiece

From three different
firing positions

At 100, 75, and 25 feet.

Now, we will be timing you
at each station

So that you can get

The firing rate
off of these weapons.

Siege the castle!

He's loading it fast.
It's great.

Oh, he missed it.

Just missed.

All: Ooh!

Just missed.

He reloads pretty quick,
I have to admit.

That's a big advantage.

There it is!
Got it!

[laughs]
that's a good shot.

Missed it.

Yeah!
Oh, there you go!

All: Oh!

Done!
Nice neck shot, baby!

Total time of
four minutes and three seconds.

Nice work.

From a trauma perspective,

It's old-fashioned
bolt tracheostomy.

And that's an instant kill,
no question about it.

The second target up top

Might get
the biceps tendon there.

None of those
are instant kills.

Finally, if we take
a look at the static target,

We do see a shot right
where that colon likes to sit.

Not an instant kill,
but a definite mortal wound.

You got three hits
out of nine shots.

33% hit ratio.

And I also measured
an average time

Of about 20 seconds
per reload.

Very, very quick.

This shows why
william the conqueror

Valued crossbowmen.

They could provide
great covering fire.

His guys are gonna
be able to storm this place.

Yes, you get the accuracy
when you get close in.

What we have is that accuracy
at the further distance.

Joan of arc
defeated the english

With the steel crossbow,

15th century french technology

That neutralized
the english longbow.

It's made
of wood and steel.

It has an effective range
of about 150 feet.

Here we have
the absolute epitome

Of technology
in the crossbow.

This is actually
a much more effective weapon.

Ready.
Go!

[exciting music]

♪ ♪

400 pounds of force
was needed to pull back

The bowstring
of joan's steel crossbow.

So reloading
required two troops

And a device
called a windlass.

There.
It takes two guys to run it.

Yeah, may not be an efficient
use of manpower

On the battlefield.

It's about a minute.

All: Ooh!

Oh!
So close.

There it is!
Yeah!

Love it.

If there's any
weakness to this weapon,

It's right in the reload.
No, absolutely, you're right.

Although they're
doing well as a team.

Woo-hoo!
Yeah! Nice one!

All: Ooh!

Nice!
Left chest.

We'll definitely
have to be careful

With the cranking on it.

There is a fatigue factor
in just this cranking motion.

Oh, yes!
Nice shot.

Excellent!
Nice!

One more shot--
bring it home, claire.

Yeah!

Made the last one count!

Done!

Well done.
10 minutes and 47 seconds

For your overall time.

Claire used nine shots
to take out all six targets.

You have what's called

Old-fashioned
joan of arc style appendectomy.

You hit right
througthe appendix.

That is a mortal wound.

Four instant kills,
one mortal wound,

And one injury.

They got an average reload
time of around 57 seconds.

But what really
impresses me--

Claire, 66% hit-miss ratio,

Jason, 33% hit ratio.

There's no doubt about it,
it was slow.

But look at the result.

I think results
speak volumes.

It took you
a good ten minutes

To take all those out,
so in a battlefield situation--

Yeah, but look at
how many people I killed.

If you've got
all day to do it.

It's a siege--of course
we've got all day to do it.

Exactly.

Joan's steel crossbow
strikes with deadly accuracy.

William's composite crossbow
is quicker and easier to reload.

So which gets the edge?

It really comes down to who
lands a better accurate shot.

Because once
you get into position

Where
you're trying to reload,

It's gonna really come down
to guys closing the distance,

Whipping out their swords,

And slicing
each other to death.

Sure,
and I agree with all that,

But in the siege scenario,

We've got weeks
and months dragging out.

You could
literally sit outside

The range of
the composite bow,

Cover your soldiers advancing,

And get the job done.

Who killed?

We had four instant kills

Versus one instant kill.

That was the deciding factor
between these two weapons,

And one was done
from a greater distance.

Joan's crossbow,
across the board.

For medium-range weapons...

Edge--joan of arc.

The all-new digital combat
engine uses the key x-factor

Of battlefield tactics
to help decide who is deadliest.

To provide this information,
mack will analyze

The combat maneuvers
of our two warriors.

How would you describe
joan's approach to warfare?

Audacious attack.

You attack with audacity.

The key, unquestionably,

Is the city of orleans,
which is the key

To the english pressing south.

Joan has been sent
to the city of orleans,

Which is under siege
by the english.

She's able to sneak
all the way around the english

And enter into orleans.

Yeah, this is
a restatement of the prophecy

That almost everybody
in France knows--

That France
is gonna be saved by a maid.

An act of god.
You said it.

The english were
launching their unrelenting

Siege from the captured
fortress of la tourelle

Just across
the river from orleans.

In a bold, strategic move,

Joan decided to mount
an offensive against it.

Next, audacity.

She rejoins her main force

To begin
a direct frontal assault

On the english command post.

She's leading
from the front.

She's like this
angel that returns,

And all of France shows up
basically to take orleans.

They are completely
invincible.

The maid is with them.

They take the fortification.

And that is the touchstone
from which the french

Complete their victory.

And shape modern France.

And shape
modern France indeed.

Coming up, geoff
examines our warriors' armor,

And the experts
take it into battle

To test the blades
that changed history.

Joan of arc,
william the conqueror...

Who is deadliest?

Yaaaa!

Joan of arc,
France's divinely inspired

Medieval commander.

Her overwhelming victory
against the english at orleans

Made her history's
most famous woman warrior.

Versus william the conqueror,

The bold and bloodthirsty
french warrior turned king.

His decisive and devastating
victory over England's forces

At the battle of hastings
put him on the throne.

It is the perfect battle
for mack to examine

For the x-factor
of battlefield tactics.

How would you describe
william's approach to warfare?

Attack hard, attack fast,

And feign retreat
when necessary.

All right,
let's use our touch table

To go to England.

In 1066,
william's 600-ship fleet

Sails from normandy, France,
and lands in southern England.

His 7,000 troops
find the enemy english forces

Led by king harold

Just outside
the city of hastings.

Harold's troops
formed a strong shield wall

At the top of the hill.

William's gonna be forced
to attack straight uphill.

You can't flank him
because of the terrain.

So the infantry
comes razing up the hill,

But the shield wall holds.

Nothing is going
william's way right now.

In fact,
it's going so badly

That william's army
starts to retreat,

And this is the point
where most medieval battles

Would have ended.

But harold's troops
chase after william's infantry,

And suddenly
they're in the open field

Running down the hill.

Harold's troops
are cut down in large numbers.

William figures out
he can feign retreats

And draw more
anglo-saxons down off the hill.

The shield wall
is getting a little thinner,

A little shorter.

All right,
let's go to that moment

On the battlefield.

First thing he does
is sends his archers forward.

Instead of firing
straight up the hill,

He has them
high-angle fire.

So they're
raining down arrows,

Aiming at the guys
at the top of their position

Where they don't have
shields to protect themselves.

And they're too tightly packed
to lift those shields up.

One of those arrows
actually comes down

And hits harold in the eye.

With their king dead,
william sends in his infantry,

His cavalry.

The anglo-saxon army
breaks and runs.

This decisive victory
gives him the moniker--

Both: William the conqueror.

For joan, her tactics
all came down to audacity.

She was lucky
she caught the english

On their heels.

With william the conqueror,

The feigned retreat
and his ability to adapt

In that battlefield

Allowed him to get
the victory at hastings

And change the course
of europe forever.

For the battlefield tactics
that crowned a warrior king...

Edge--william the conqueror.

When medieval warfare
got up close,

These warriors
staked their lives

On their armor
and battle blades.

For joan of arc,

It was a deadly one-two punch
of plate armor...

65 pounds of
fully articulated steel,

And the french arming sword--

A weapon tailor-made
for piercing chain mail armor.

When they offered her
her armor and a horse,

She refused the sword
that they gave her with it.

She said that god had
already chosen a sword for her.

So she sends everybody
to this little church,

And they found
this sword buried.

So what we have here
is joan's armor.

You have different plates
that layer over one another

So it gives you
articulation,

But you still got the solid
plate that's protecting you.

William the conqueror counters
with his chain mail hauberk...

50 pounds of
interlaced steel armor.

He wields the norman broadsword.

This 36-inch-long blade killer
brought England to its knees.

William and the normans were
only three generations descended

From their viking ancestors,

So this was
essentially an improvement

On his grandfather's sword.

This is william's
chain mail hauberk.

It's made of thousands of steel
rings butted together,

They were quite durable,

And the entire ensemble

Provides you
excellent protection

And maximum flexibility.

Well,
we'll see about that,

Because the first thing
we have to assess

Is the range of motion
of this armor.

Using motion capture
technology,

Geoff will track
light sensitive sensors

To measure
the expert's every move.

The results of this test
to determine which armor

Is less restrictive
will be entered

Into the combat engine.

First, geoff records
baseline movement readings

Of our experts without armor.

Give me a thrust.

Give me an overhead chop.

He then takes
the same readings with armor

To reveal how much
it limits the expert's mobility.

Perfect.

The results shatter
the conventional wisdom

That chain mail
allows more mobility.

In fact, the newer technology

Of joan's
articulated plate armor

Only limits
her movement by 14%.

William's chain mail hauberk
limits his movements by 27%--

Almost double.

So the test set-up then,

We're calling this one
the circle of doom.

A castle has been breached,

And the warrior is surrounded by
five enclosing enemy soldiers.

They are represented
by three unarmored foam torsos

And two pig carcasses

Which simulate
real human tissue and bone.

One of the carcasses

Is protected
by the opponent's armor.

The experts will assess
each sword's penetration dame

And the armor's
protective capabilities.

Joan's team is up first.

On three, two, one...

Go!

Aaah! Yaaaa!

Nice.

Joan's gloves and narrow blade
allow for a technique

Called half-swording,

Grabbing the blade
to add force to the thrust.

Yaaaa! Yaaaa!

Nice shots.

[continues grunting]

There you go.
Perfect.

Head shot.
There you go.

Excellent.

Done!

Nice!
There you go.

35 seconds, claire.
Nice work.

You know, I have to
hand it to you, claire.

For the first time on
deadliest warrior,

We actually had e warrior
wear their armor during a test.

So very well done.

Of course a woman
was going to be the first one.

[laughs]

Okay let's take a look
at the armored pig carcass.

Right away I can
tell you here there's

One, two, three
thrusting injuries.

On all three accounts,
the chain mail has failed.

Bilateral collapsed lungs,
quick trip to the morgue.

Five targets,
four instant kills,

And a mortal wound
from a penetrating blow

To the armor.

So besides the physicality,

We also have
a warrior psychology x-factor.

When discussing joan of arc's
"hearing voices" concept,

What she does fit
is the bipolar makeup,

A person who has
these manic episodes

Where she's charismatic,

Empathetic,
and people will follow

Just because of this ability
to rile up troops

And make others believe
that she is the chosen one.

Claire, what was it like
using joan's armor

And her blade?

I thought the armor
would slow me down,

But it didn't.

I felt invincible.

This is
just a mishmash.

It's all wrong.
She's a small person.

She's got heavy armor.
It's a tiny blade.

You put me in chain armor,
I can move quicker.

I've got a heavier sword,
and I'm stronger.

On three, two, one...

Cut 'em up!

Oh, yeah!

Nice slash.
Aaaah!

Oh!
Nice, nice!

He is nailing it.

Ooh.

Aah!
Nice.

Oh, he went
above the armor.

Oh, above the neck.

Bring it home,
bring it home.

Aah!
Head shot.

Sweet.
Excellent.

Nice work.
21 seconds--jason.

Look at this dent.

This is not
an instant kill.

But what he did do
that was very impressive,

He followed up
with an unarmored area

Right into the neck.

One slash like that,

This guy
is on the floor dead.

Five targets,
five instant kills.

21 seconds, very well done.

William's been
fighting since 7.

He was 38 at hastings.

By the time he died, he had
50 years of combat experience.

So when you're looking
at battlefield experience,

That's also another x-factor
we plug into our sim.

My sword will go through
his armor like butter,

And his sword
barely scratches my armor.

I don't think
he stands a chance.

Both swords slaughtered
with deadly precision.

So which one gets the edge?

When you're
looking at two blades,

It really comes down
to how the operators

Use those blades.

Both could slash.
Both could thrust.

For me, both swords
are absolutely lethal.

But on claire's side,
35 seconds.

Jason's side, 21 seconds.

He walked through there
in a faster time,

Plus five instant kills.

I gotta give the edge
to william the conqueror.

In close-range weapons...
Edge--william the conqueror,

For the norman broadsword.

Joan's articulated
plate armor

Or william's
chain mail hauberk...

Which one
was more effective?

When I look at the armor,
it was much more difficult

For william the conqueror's
sword to penetrate her armor.

Forcing him
to work around the armor,

Making his job
more difficult.

There is no question--
joan's armor is superior.

In all of our tests
that were done previously,

I've never been
a big fan of the chain mail.

Again, it shows me
its weaknesses,

Which is
to thrusting weapons.

For armor...
Edge--joan of arc.

Coming up...
Ultimate victory hinges

On the final head-to-head
battle of the sexes--

Joan of arc versus
william the conqueror.

Who will be
the deadliest warrior?

♪

♪

♪

♪

♪

It's a clash
of medieval titans.

In their time, each defeated
mighty english armies.

Now they turn
their wartime strategies

And savagery
against each other.

Joan of arc,
william the conqueror...

Who will be crowned
the deadliest warrior?

Our experts
have tested and analyzed

The weapons
these two battlefield icons

Brought to this showdown.

For long-range weapons,

Joan's siege cannon

Obliterated william's
torsion catapult.

For medium-range weapons,

William's composite crossbow

Was no match for joan's
more powerful steel crossbow.

For close-range weapons,

William's norman broadsword
cut down joan's arming sword.

And in armor,
william's chain mail hauberk

Wasn't as strong or mobile
as joan's steel plate armor.

In battlefield tactics,
joan's audacious attack

Was outsmarted
by william's feigned retreat.

All the weapons test data
has been turned over

To robert daly

And plugged into
the digital combat engine.

His team of engineers
has also completed

Its historical research

And assigned values
to more than 100 x-factors.

All of our researchers
get together,

And we look at things
like audacity,

Battlefield experience.

We take all that historical data
and we assign a numerical value

Between 0 and 100,

With 100 being
the ultimate warrior.

For me, probably
the most interesting x-factor

Is thehe physicality
of these two warriors.

Because men and women
are completely different

In their physical makeup,
it's gotta be an x-factor.

This is
a big, big, difference.

William has more strength
because he weighs 200 pounds.

125-po+d person
has a difficult time

Matching up against this.

And so we did give william
the advantage here

Of a 78
versus joan's 64.

For me,
it really comes down

To intuition
and battlefield experience

With these two warriors.

William has
the battlefield experience.

Joan just doesn't.

So what we're looking at here
is a battlefield experience

Of joan being
rated at a 58,

Versus william's 81.

Pretty significant.

But then you
mention intuition,

And this is
in joan's advantage.

We rated her an 84,
versus william's 80.

Whoa.

You serious?

Yeah, she figured out

How to use
artillery effectively

On the battlefield.

And whether it was something
she just understood

Or it came from
a divine inspiration,

We'll never know.
Okay.

Now the medieval
battle of the sexes begins.

The digital combat engine will
run 5,000 battle simulations--

Joan of arc
and four of her french knights

Versus william the conqueror
and four of his norman soldiers.

[yelling in french]

[shouting orders in french]

[yells order]

[yells order]

[boom]

[yells in french]

[yelling in french]

[crash]

[yelling in french]

Aah!

[battle cries]

[yelling in french]

[swords clanging]

[swords clanging]

Yaaaaaa!

So we ran
the simulation 5,000 times.

Joan ended up
winning 2,587 battles

To 2,413 battles
for william.

But that is
a very close result overall.

William dominated
the x-factors,

Including physicality
and battlefield experience.

But the advanced technology

Of joan's cannon, crossbow,
and articulated plate armor

Sealed her victory.

The plate armor system
is much better

And much more effective.

And it is what
made the difference

Swing in joan's favor.

Joan's armor,
joan's cannon,

Plus her crossbow--

We saw those
advantages in technology

Play out in our tests,

And the better man won.

In a nutshell, this comes
down to joan's ability

To inspire her troops.

Being ferocious,

Being audacious
at just the right moment

Can get you all
the battlefield experience

You need to win the day.

Yaaa!
