andnbsp;

She's denied the cross for suicide, and
then buried at the center of a crossroads.

andnbsp;

Show me the logic.

andnbsp;

Father?
What?

andnbsp;

The devil is a practical man.

andnbsp;

If she were a witch,
she was a poor return on his investment.

andnbsp;

What do you know of logic?
I have ears, Father.

andnbsp;

Although one is notched.
Because I love justice.

andnbsp;

You love thieving.

andnbsp;

Shut up. You dig.

andnbsp;

Crusaders.

andnbsp;

Clear the road, if you will.

andnbsp;

This is for the burial, from my lord.
And a mass, for her soul.

andnbsp;

Wait. Have you forgotten?

andnbsp;

She was your brother's wife.
She was a suicide. Cut off her head.

andnbsp;

And return the ax.

andnbsp;

You know this place, my lord?

andnbsp;

Know it? I know all of it.

andnbsp;

Your brother, you have spoken to him?

andnbsp;

On what matter?
He is still arrested.

andnbsp;

Your brother is as responsible
for his wife's sin as I am.

andnbsp;

Opinions differ, my lord.

andnbsp;

The burial was...?
Yes.

andnbsp;

Yet you did not mutilate the person?
No.

andnbsp;

Good. A law can go too far.

andnbsp;

It can go too far. I ask myself,
"Would Jesus do it thusly?"

andnbsp;

There is so much done in Christendom
of which Christ would be incapable.

andnbsp;

Release your brother.
I cannot do without him.

andnbsp;

My brother, my lord bishop, uh...

andnbsp;

is possessed by the devil
and must be examined.

andnbsp;

Your brother is as mad
as you are. He grieves.

andnbsp;

Without your brother, I cannot
finish my church. Let him out.

andnbsp;

And give him this, and tell him that he
is at the very center of my prayers.

andnbsp;

The bishop needs you.

andnbsp;

Release him.
On your feet.

andnbsp;

This is not heaven, it's the world.
And there's troubles in it.

andnbsp;

Do yourself no injury.
Other men are always good for that.

andnbsp;

- And what of Jerusalem?
- Jerusalem?

andnbsp;

In peril, my lord. As always.

andnbsp;

We have stood there against
the Saracens for over 100 years.

andnbsp;

The Saracens, as you call them, have now
unified in Egypt, Syria, and all Arabia.

andnbsp;

The Saracens and someone new.
Saladin, their king.

andnbsp;

Saladin.

andnbsp;

Gibberish.

andnbsp;

Very fine.
And yet you do not drink.

andnbsp;

A knight should be a knight,
a monk a monk.

andnbsp;

Brother...
Not both at once. That's what I say.

andnbsp;

Now, I may be old-fashioned...

andnbsp;

but as for the cup,
I have an artificer, a blacksmith.

andnbsp;

Or did have.

andnbsp;

Which son of the blacksmith of my time
is the blacksmith now?

andnbsp;

Balian, the eldest.

andnbsp;

His child died. His wife fell into a
melancholy, she would not listen to reason.

andnbsp;

She killed herself.

andnbsp;

It occurs. But what's that to you?

andnbsp;

A private matter.

andnbsp;

It's been six-and-20 years since my
brother took the cross, and now he returns.

andnbsp;

An actual baron
of the kingdom of Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

How is that for the lot of a younger
brother? With no heir, it comes to me.

andnbsp;

And thus to you.
Then I thank the stars for my uncle.

andnbsp;

Her grave was here. Or was it there? Heh.

andnbsp;

I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact
location. I wasn't present at the burial.

andnbsp;

Call me a liar. You have reason.

andnbsp;

You never fight back.

andnbsp;

Hmm? Hmm?

andnbsp;

You always turn the other cheek. I think
that you conceive yourself without sin.

andnbsp;

That is a sin.

andnbsp;

We shall work.

andnbsp;

Come on, I told you to stop that now!

andnbsp;

- That is the man, that is the man.
- You're an armorer, yes?

andnbsp;

An artificer, according to
your lord and this priest.

andnbsp;

You have my sympathy and my blessing.

andnbsp;

Your dead wife and stillborn child
are today the subject of my prayers.

andnbsp;

We need all these horses shod.
We need food. And we'll pay.

andnbsp;

He says yes.

andnbsp;

Have you killed any?
Have you killed any?

andnbsp;

He has made great engines for sieges.

andnbsp;

He has made war machines
that cast the largest stones.

andnbsp;

He also works finely in silver.

andnbsp;

He will be one of the few on your journey
worth more alive than dead.

andnbsp;

Shut up.

andnbsp;

Have you been at war?
On horse.

andnbsp;

As an engineer also.
Against whom, and for whom did you fight?

andnbsp;

For one lord against another,
on a point which cannot be remembered.

andnbsp;

There's better game now.
One god against another.

andnbsp;

The pay is proportionate.
Ha-ha. I've been telling him that.

andnbsp;

Do you still advise
what you advised upon the road?

andnbsp;

I do, my lord.

andnbsp;

But know that this man, Balian,
mourns his wife.

andnbsp;

What does that say?

andnbsp;

"What man is a man
who does not make the world better?"

andnbsp;

Leave me with this man.

andnbsp;

God has made us men.
We must suffer all.

andnbsp;

I also have lost.

andnbsp;

Some say Jerusalem is the very center
of the world for asking forgiveness.

andnbsp;

But myself, I call it here. Now.

andnbsp;

I knew your namesake.

andnbsp;

I knew your mother.

andnbsp;

To be courteous, I should say
that it was against her objections.

andnbsp;

But I was the lord's brother
and she had no choice.

andnbsp;

But I did not force her.

andnbsp;

I have forgiveness to ask of you.

andnbsp;

I am Godfrey, the baron of Ibelin.

andnbsp;

I have 100 men at arms in Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

If you will come with me,
you will have a living...

andnbsp;

and you will have my thanks.
There it is.

andnbsp;

Whoever you are, my lord, my place is here.

andnbsp;

What made it your place is now dead.

andnbsp;

You will never see me again.
If you want anything of me, take it now.

andnbsp;

I want nothing.

andnbsp;

I am sorry for your troubles.
God protect you.

andnbsp;

Jerusalem is easy to find.

andnbsp;

You come to where the men speak Italian, and
continue until they speak something else.

andnbsp;

We go by Messina. Goodbye.

andnbsp;

The village does not want you.

andnbsp;

When the old lord is dead,
they will drive you out.

andnbsp;

When the bishop is dead, it is certain.

andnbsp;

And you take my property.

andnbsp;

The Church.
You.

andnbsp;

They would have taken you to Jerusalem.
Away from all this.

andnbsp;

I arranged it.

andnbsp;

I swear to you, you will have no peace
so long as you stay here.

andnbsp;

No man ever needed a new world more.

andnbsp;

Imagine your sin and pain erased.

andnbsp;

All.

andnbsp;

If you take the Crusade...

andnbsp;

you may relieve your wife's
position in hell.

andnbsp;

I put it delicately.
She was a suicide. She is in hell.

andnbsp;

Though what she does there
without a head...

andnbsp;

Wait here.

andnbsp;

Have you come to kill me?
Even these days, it is not easy.

andnbsp;

Well?

andnbsp;

I have done...

andnbsp;

murder.

andnbsp;

Haven't we all?

andnbsp;

Is it true that in Jerusalem
I can erase my sins?

andnbsp;

And those of my wife? Is it true?

andnbsp;

We can find out together.

andnbsp;

Show me your hand.

andnbsp;

Pick it up. Let's see what you're made of.

andnbsp;

His hand is hurt, my lord.

andnbsp;

I once fought two days...

andnbsp;

with an arrow through my testicle.
Ah.

andnbsp;

Never use a low guard. You fight well.

andnbsp;

Let's work on your skills.

andnbsp;

Take a high guard...

andnbsp;

like this.

andnbsp;

The Italians call it la posta del falcone,
the guard of the hawk.

andnbsp;

You strike from high. Like this.

andnbsp;

Do it. Sword straighter.

andnbsp;

Come on. Leg back.
Bend your knees. Sword straighter.

andnbsp;

Defend yourself.

andnbsp;

The blade isn't the only part of a sword.

andnbsp;

Attack.

andnbsp;

I have your leave?

andnbsp;

Pay attention.

andnbsp;

What's this?

andnbsp;

Uncle.
Nephew.

andnbsp;

You have with you a man, Balian,
who killed a priest, his brother.

andnbsp;

I'm charged by both my father
and the lord bishop to bring him back.

andnbsp;

What he says is true.
They have the right to take me.

andnbsp;

I say he's innocent of the charge.
If you say he's guilty, then we'll fight.

andnbsp;

God will decide the truth of it. My German
friend is a close student of the law.

andnbsp;

Just give him to me.
I'll fight you for something else.

andnbsp;

Uncle, he's a murderer.
So am I.

andnbsp;

Whoever dies here today,
you will certainly be among them.

andnbsp;

You are my uncle. I must give you the road.

andnbsp;

Hyah! Hyah!

andnbsp;

Heinrich!

andnbsp;

To the flanks.

andnbsp;

Thank my brother for his love.

andnbsp;

I am the son of Roger de...
Take your helmet off while addressing me.

andnbsp;

I am the son of Roger de Cormier.

andnbsp;

I am accorded the privilege of ransom.

andnbsp;

This is true.

andnbsp;

Well, you broke the arrow.

andnbsp;

If the ribs are broken,
the marrow may enter the blood...

andnbsp;

in which case you'll
take a fever and die.

andnbsp;

Or a cyst will form, and you'll live.

andnbsp;

You're in the hands of God.
Will you get me some more wine?

andnbsp;

It was not that they had no right to
take you. It was the way they asked.

andnbsp;

They had the right to take me.

andnbsp;

And so do I.

andnbsp;

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,
is not murder. It is the path to heaven.

andnbsp;

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,
is not murder. It is the path to heaven.

andnbsp;

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,
is not murder. It is the path to heaven.

andnbsp;

Where do you go?
To Jerusalem, brother.

andnbsp;

By which road?
Someone knows.

andnbsp;

God knows.

andnbsp;

When shall we stop this madness?
It will soon be beyond my concern.

andnbsp;

Who is this?

andnbsp;

My son.

andnbsp;

Would I had fought you when you were
still capable of making bastards. Ha-ha-ha.

andnbsp;

I knew your mother
when she was making hers.

andnbsp;

Fortunately you're too
old to be one of mine.

andnbsp;

All will be Settled.

andnbsp;

Do you know what lies in the Holy Land?

andnbsp;

A new world.

andnbsp;

A man who in France had not a house,
is, in the Holy Land, the master of a city.

andnbsp;

He who was the master of a city
begs in the gutter.

andnbsp;

There, at the end of the world...

andnbsp;

you are not what you were born,
but what you have within yourself to be.

andnbsp;

I hope to find forgiveness.
That's all I know.

andnbsp;

Whatever your position,
you are of my house.

andnbsp;

And that means you will
serve the king of Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

What could a king ask of a man like me?

andnbsp;

A better world than has ever been seen.

andnbsp;

A kingdom of conscience.

andnbsp;

A kingdom of heaven.

andnbsp;

There is peace between
Christian and Muslim.

andnbsp;

We live together.
Or, between Saladin and the king, we try.

andnbsp;

Did you think that lay
at the end of a crusade?

andnbsp;

It does.

andnbsp;

My son, you are all that survives me.
Do not disappoint me.

andnbsp;

When we took the Holy Land,
we took the Saracen trading ports.

andnbsp;

So, Italian ships carry silks and spices,
and pilgrims, if they have money.

andnbsp;

And Italy becomes rich,
as the Savior intended.

andnbsp;

Who are those men?
Muslims.

andnbsp;

Saracens.

andnbsp;

And they are allowed their prayers?
If they pay the tax.

andnbsp;

"Praise be to God.
It is proper to praise him."

andnbsp;

Sounds like our prayers.

andnbsp;

It's good.

andnbsp;

When the king is dead, Jerusalem
will be no place for friends of Muslims...

andnbsp;

or traitors to Christendom,
like your father.

andnbsp;

I am Guy de Lusignan.

andnbsp;

Remember that name.

andnbsp;

And me.

andnbsp;

Keep it.

andnbsp;

My lord.

andnbsp;

How will you ride
if you have no stick to beat the horse?

andnbsp;

He will be king in Jerusalem one day.

andnbsp;

Holy mother of God, pray for us...

andnbsp;

Balian.

andnbsp;

(Huff)'-

andnbsp;

I can go no further.

andnbsp;

Get on your knees.

andnbsp;

Be without fear in the
face of your enemies.

andnbsp;

Be brave and upright
that God may love thee.

andnbsp;

Speak the truth always,
even if it leads to your death.

andnbsp;

Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

andnbsp;

That is your oath.

andnbsp;

And that's so you remember it.

andnbsp;

Rise a knight and Baron of Ibelin.

andnbsp;

Defend the king.

andnbsp;

If the king is no more,
protect the people.

andnbsp;

It's time now, my lord,
to confess to God, not your son.

andnbsp;

Are you sorry for all your sins?

andnbsp;

For all but one.

andnbsp;

You sail now for Jerusalem,
as your father wished.

andnbsp;

I'll follow within the week.
Our voyage is perilous.

andnbsp;

If God has purpose for you there,
he'll keep you safe in his hands.

andnbsp;

If not...

andnbsp;

God bless you.

andnbsp;

He says that is his horse.

andnbsp;

Why would it be his horse?
Because it is on his land.

andnbsp;

I took this horse from the sea.

andnbsp;

He says you are a great liar, and he
will fight you because you are a liar.

andnbsp;

I have no desire to fight.
Then you must give him the horse.

andnbsp;

No.

andnbsp;

Fight me fairly!

andnbsp;

Why? Why should he?
And I am the baron of Ibelin.

andnbsp;

He says the baron of Ibelin is old.
He knew him at Damascus.

andnbsp;

I am the new one.

andnbsp;

Stop!

andnbsp;

That's enough!

andnbsp;

Stop!

andnbsp;

Ibelin, that's enough!

andnbsp;

Ibelin! Stop!

andnbsp;

You have taken it very well
that I have killed your master.

andnbsp;

It was the end of his time.

andnbsp;

All is as God wills it.

andnbsp;

Now finish this.

andnbsp;

Take me to Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

Very good horse.

andnbsp;

Take the horse and be about your business.

andnbsp;

This is your prize of battle. I am your
prisoner, your slave should you wish it.

andnbsp;

I have been a slave or very near to one.

andnbsp;

I will never keep one
nor suffer any to be kept. Go.

andnbsp;

The man you killed was a very
great cavalier among the Muslims.

andnbsp;

His name was Mummad al Fais.
I will pray for him.

andnbsp;

Your quality will be known among your enemies
before ever you meet them, my friend.

andnbsp;

Old man, where is it
that Christ was crucified?

andnbsp;

God, what is it you want of me?

andnbsp;

of fanatics of every denomination...

andnbsp;

be called the will of God.

andnbsp;

I've seen too much religion
in the eyes of too many murderers.

andnbsp;

Holiness is in right action...

andnbsp;

and courage on behalf of those
who cannot defend themselves.

andnbsp;

And goodness...

andnbsp;

what God desires is here and here.

andnbsp;

By what you decide to do every day,
you will be a good man...

andnbsp;

or not.

andnbsp;

Come.

andnbsp;

The king has made a peace
with Saladin these past six years.

andnbsp;

He holds Jerusalem
as a place for prayer for all faiths...

andnbsp;

as the Muslims did before we came.

andnbsp;

These men are Templars. They killed Arabs.

andnbsp;

So they are dying for what the pope
would command them to do.

andnbsp;

Yes, but not Christ, I think.
Nor this king.

andnbsp;

Who says I raid?
That witness...

andnbsp;

all of Jerusalem, Holy God, and me.

andnbsp;

That witness, if you call him that,
is a Saracen. He lies.

andnbsp;

There will come a day, Reynald de Chatillon,
when you are not protected by your title.

andnbsp;

Oh? When will that be?

andnbsp;

Alert me, Tiberias, when men are equal
and the kingdom of Heaven has arrived.

andnbsp;

Those Templars have been hung
for a raid that I know you commanded.

andnbsp;

Prove it. I will wait
at Kerak until you do.

andnbsp;

The king will take
your castle of Kerak, Reynald.

andnbsp;

Try to take it, Tiberias. I'll be there.

andnbsp;

I cannot protect your caravans unless you
agree to be escorted by our soldiers.

andnbsp;

I trade to make money, not to
offend God by associating with Christians.

andnbsp;

But you will take Christian gold.
Gold is gold.

andnbsp;

Of course.

andnbsp;

My lord, Tiberias.

andnbsp;

My lord.

andnbsp;

It's true.

andnbsp;

You're your father's son.
He was my friend.

andnbsp;

I'm yours.

andnbsp;

Godfrey dead.
It could have come at a better time.

andnbsp;

Come.

andnbsp;

It was shouted in the streets
that you killed a great lord of Syria.

andnbsp;

Saladin himself sent word
that your fight did not breach the peace...

andnbsp;

that you had cause.

andnbsp;

What know you of Saladin?

andnbsp;

That he is king of the Saracens
and that he surrounds this kingdom.

andnbsp;

He has 200,000 men
in Damascus alone.

andnbsp;

He could win a war if he goes to war.

andnbsp;

And he's daily given cause for war
by fanatics newly from Europe.

andnbsp;

By Templar bastards
like Reynald de Chatillon.

andnbsp;

Here, from this room, I keep the peace,
so far as it can be kept.

andnbsp;

But Saladin and the king between them
would make a better world.

andnbsp;

If it lives only for a while,
Tiberius, it still has lived.

andnbsp;

Oh.

andnbsp;

What did your father tell you
of your obligations?

andnbsp;

That I was to be a good knight.

andnbsp;

I pray the world and Jerusalem...

andnbsp;

can accommodate such a rarity...

andnbsp;

as a perfect knight.

andnbsp;

Have you dined?

andnbsp;

The princess Sibylla of Jerusalem
and her husband, Guy de Lusignan.

andnbsp;

So how many knights
did you find in France?

andnbsp;

Fifty.

andnbsp;

They've sworn allegiance to the king?

andnbsp;

Of course, Tiberias. Obviously.

andnbsp;

You sit at my table?

andnbsp;

Is it not the king's table?

andnbsp;

Is it? I have not seen a king at it
for some years.

andnbsp;

I cannot eat. I am finicky about company.

andnbsp;

In France, this could not inherit.

andnbsp;

But here there are no civilized rules.

andnbsp;

I have business in the East.

andnbsp;

My wife does not lament my absence.

andnbsp;

That is either the best of wives,
or the very, very worst.

andnbsp;

Do you go to meet Reynald?
No, my lord. He is in disfavor.

andnbsp;

I am a member of this court.

andnbsp;

Why should I make leave
with that troublemaker?

andnbsp;

To the very best of wives.

andnbsp;

God bless Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

My lord, the king will see him now.

andnbsp;

The king would see Godfrey's son.

andnbsp;

I'll take him.

andnbsp;

This morning,
I spoke without knowing who you were.

andnbsp;

I knew who you were.

andnbsp;

It's unmistakable. I loved your father.

andnbsp;

And I shall love you.

andnbsp;

Do you fear being with me?

andnbsp;

No.

andnbsp;

And yes.

andnbsp;

A woman in my place has two faces.

andnbsp;

One for the world,
and one which she wears in private.

andnbsp;

With you, I'll be only Sibylla.

andnbsp;

Tiberias thinks me unpredictable.

andnbsp;

I am unpredictable.

andnbsp;

No. There.

andnbsp;

Come forward.

andnbsp;

I am glad to meet Godfrey's son.
He was one of my greatest teachers.

andnbsp;

He was there when, playing with
the other boys, my arm was cut.

andnbsp;

And it was he, not my father's physicians,
who noticed that I felt no pain.

andnbsp;

He wept when he gave my father
the news that I am a leper.

andnbsp;

The Saracens say that this disease is God's
vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom.

andnbsp;

As wretched as I am, these Arabs believe...

andnbsp;

that the chastisement that awaits me
in hell is far more severe and lasting.

andnbsp;

If that's true, I call it unfair.

andnbsp;

Come, sit.

andnbsp;

Do you play?
No.

andnbsp;

The whole world is in chess.
Any move can be the death of you.

andnbsp;

Do anything except remain where you
started, and you can't be sure of your end.

andnbsp;

Were you sure of your end once?

andnbsp;

I was.
What was it?

andnbsp;

To be buried 100 yards
from where I was born.

andnbsp;

And now? Now I sit in Jerusalem,
and look upon a king.

andnbsp;

When I was 16, I won a great victory.

andnbsp;

I felt in that moment I
would live to be 100.

andnbsp;

Now I know I shall not see 30.

andnbsp;

None of us know our end, really.
Or what hand will guide us there.

andnbsp;

A king may move a man.

andnbsp;

A father may claim a son.

andnbsp;

That man can also move himself, and only
then does that man truly begin his own game.

andnbsp;

Remember that howsoever
you are played, or by whom...

andnbsp;

your soul is in your keeping alone.

andnbsp;

Even though those who presume
to play you be kings or men of power.

andnbsp;

When you stand before God, you cannot say,
"But I was told by others to do thus."

andnbsp;

Or that virtue was not
convenient at the time.

andnbsp;

This will not suffice. Remember that.

andnbsp;

I Will.

andnbsp;

Do you know what this is?
The fortification.

andnbsp;

What do you think of it?

andnbsp;

You disapprove.
How would you improve it?

andnbsp;

A cross. Or better, a star. Like this.

andnbsp;

That way, no part of the fortress
may be approached...

andnbsp;

without being exposed
to fire from another part.

andnbsp;

Yes, I like this.
Your walls are more difficult to address.

andnbsp;

Very good. You will go to your father's
house at Ibelin, your house now...

andnbsp;

and then from there you will
protect the pilgrim road.

andnbsp;

Safeguard, in particular,
the Jews and the Muslims.

andnbsp;

All are welcome in Jerusalem...

andnbsp;

not only because it's expedient,
but because it is right.

andnbsp;

Protect the helpless, and then maybe
one day when I am helpless...

andnbsp;

you will come and protect me.

andnbsp;

There, my lord. Ibelin.

andnbsp;

"Such as we are, you will be."

andnbsp;

Your father was important.
His lands were not.

andnbsp;

That will suit me.

andnbsp;

My lord, you have 1000 acres, 100 families.

andnbsp;

You have Christians, Jews, Muslims.

andnbsp;

You have 50 pairs of oxen.
This is a poor and dusty place.

andnbsp;

What we do not have is water.

andnbsp;

Right. Stone the walls.

andnbsp;

I'm on my way to "Cana".

andnbsp;

Where Jesus changed water to wine.

andnbsp;

But a better trick would be
to change you to a nobleman.

andnbsp;

That should be easy. In France,
a few yards of silk can make a nobleman.

andnbsp;

I expect your hospitality.

andnbsp;

It is given.

andnbsp;

Latif.

andnbsp;

But this isn't adultery. It's washing.

andnbsp;

But if it were adultery, which it isn't, the
Commandments are not for people like us.

andnbsp;

They're for the others.

andnbsp;

Did they give you something to eat?

andnbsp;

I said to wait until the master returned.

andnbsp;

My cook will prepare something
while you wash.

andnbsp;

What?
It seems years since I've seen a woman eat.

andnbsp;

Truly?

andnbsp;

I was watching you today.

andnbsp;

You've been given a patch of dirt and it
seems you will build a new Jerusalem here.

andnbsp;

It is my land.

andnbsp;

Who would I be
if I did not try to make it better?

andnbsp;

They try to be one.
One heart, one morality.

andnbsp;

Their prophet says, "Submit."

andnbsp;

Jesus says:

andnbsp;

"Decide."

andnbsp;

Did you decide on Guy?

andnbsp;

Guy was chosen by my mother.

andnbsp;

My first husband died
before our son was born.

andnbsp;

I was only 15.

andnbsp;

I've met your son.

andnbsp;

I could stay here forever.
This house is yours.

andnbsp;

Why do you think I'm here?

andnbsp;

I know that Ibelin
is not on the way to Cana.

andnbsp;

What else do you know, my lord?
I know that you are a princess.

andnbsp;

And I am no lord.
You're a knight.

andnbsp;

Neither earned nor proved.

andnbsp;

I'm not here with you
because I'm bored or wicked.

andnbsp;

I'm here because...

andnbsp;

Because in the East,
between one person and another...

andnbsp;

there is only light.

andnbsp;

Halt!

andnbsp;

This caravan is armed, Reynald.
Good. No sport otherwise.

andnbsp;

They've seen us.

andnbsp;

Go after them. The rider is getting away.
Nothing will come of it.

andnbsp;

I'd prefer not to be hanged
before my wife is queen.

andnbsp;

Don't worry. "Who but
Reynald", they'll say.

andnbsp;

It's always me. They'll believe it
in Jerusalem, I assure you.

andnbsp;

You were at Nazareth, praying.
You're a dangerous man, Reynald.

andnbsp;

If the war's to be now or later,
I would have it now.

andnbsp;

How long can the leper last?
God wills it. God wills it!

andnbsp;

Jerusalem!
Jerusalem!

andnbsp;

It's you.

andnbsp;

This is from France. I've never been there.

andnbsp;

This from my brother.
This to remind us of death.

andnbsp;

And this...

andnbsp;

I bought the day I saw you.

andnbsp;

You lie.

andnbsp;

Guy de Lusignan
and Reynald de Chatillon...

andnbsp;

with the Templars,
have attacked a Saracen caravan.

andnbsp;

Liar!

andnbsp;

- Silence!
- It was no caravan.

andnbsp;

It was an army headed for Bethlehem
to desecrate our lord's birthplace.

andnbsp;

Reynald, with the Templars,
have broken the king's pledge of peace.

andnbsp;

Saladin will come into this kingdom...

andnbsp;

Tiberias knows more than a Christian
should about Saladin's intentions.

andnbsp;

That I would rather live with men
than kill them...

andnbsp;

is certainly why you are alive.

andnbsp;

That sort of Christianity
has its uses, I suppose.

andnbsp;

We must not go to war with Saladin.

andnbsp;

We do not want it and we may not win it.

andnbsp;

Blasphemy!

andnbsp;

An army of Jesus Christ which bears
his holy cross cannot be beaten.

andnbsp;

Does the Count of Tiberias
suggest it could be?

andnbsp;

There must be war. God wills it.

andnbsp;

God wills it!

andnbsp;

Silence!

andnbsp;

Saladin has crossed the Jordan
with 200,000 men.

andnbsp;

He'll make first for Kerak
and Reynald de Chatillon. My lord...

andnbsp;

We must meet him before he reaches Kerak.

andnbsp;

I will lead the army.

andnbsp;

My lord, if you travel, you'll die.

andnbsp;

Send word to Balian
to protect the villagers.

andnbsp;

Assemble the army.

andnbsp;

What becomes of us?

andnbsp;

The world will decide.

andnbsp;

The world always decides.

andnbsp;

My lord, the king is marching on Kerak.

andnbsp;

Saracen cavalry, they're coming
to close Reynald in.

andnbsp;

These people are not safe outside the walls.
Saladin will certainly come behind them.

andnbsp;

Go into the fortress now.

andnbsp;

Hyah! Hah!

andnbsp;

Hyah!

andnbsp;

Visitors.

andnbsp;

My lord Balian.

andnbsp;

My lord Balian.

andnbsp;

My lord Reynald prays
you bring your force into Kerak.

andnbsp;

Thank you, but no.
If we do, these people will die.

andnbsp;

We'll hold the Saracen cavalry
until the king arrives.

andnbsp;

So be it.

andnbsp;

We cannot attack that and live.

andnbsp;

My lady.

andnbsp;

What do you look at?
A knight.

andnbsp;

His men.

andnbsp;

Are you with me?

andnbsp;

Your quality will be known among your enemies
before ever you meet them, my friend.

andnbsp;

You were not that man's servant.
No, he was my servant.

andnbsp;

What becomes of us?
As you deserve.

andnbsp;

You reap what you sow.

andnbsp;

You have heard of this, no?

andnbsp;

Get up.

andnbsp;

You may go into Kerak,
but you will die there.

andnbsp;

My master is here.

andnbsp;

Tell my lord Saladin
that Jerusalem has come.

andnbsp;

Saladin.

andnbsp;

I pray you pull back your cavalry
and leave this matter to me.

andnbsp;

I pray you retire unharmed to Damascus.

andnbsp;

Reynald of Chatillon
will be punished. I swear it.

andnbsp;

Withdraw or we will all die here.

andnbsp;

Do we have terms?

andnbsp;

We have terms.

andnbsp;

I will send you my physicians.

andnbsp;

I am Reynald of Chatillon!

andnbsp;

On your knees.

andnbsp;

Lower.

andnbsp;

I am Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

And you, Reynald...

andnbsp;

will give me the kiss of peace.

andnbsp;

Guard.

andnbsp;

What are you looking at?
A dead man.

andnbsp;

Reynald de Chatillon,
you are arrested and condemned.

andnbsp;

If you continue like this,
I shall have to find a use for you.

andnbsp;

If God can spare you, that is.
God does not know me.

andnbsp;

Yes, but I do.

andnbsp;

I need you in Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

Why did we retire?

andnbsp;

Why?

andnbsp;

God did not favor him. God alone
determines the results of battles.

andnbsp;

The results of battles are determined by
God, but also by preparation, numbers...

andnbsp;

the absence of disease
and the availability of water.

andnbsp;

One cannot maintain a siege
with the enemy behind.

andnbsp;

How many battles did God win
for the Muslims before I came?

andnbsp;

That is, before God
determined that I should come.

andnbsp;

Few enough.

andnbsp;

That's because we were sinful.

andnbsp;

It is because you were unprepared.

andnbsp;

If you think that way,
you shall not be king for long.

andnbsp;

When I'm not king, I quake for Islam.

andnbsp;

Thank you for your visit.

andnbsp;

Thank you for your visit.

andnbsp;

You promised.

andnbsp;

You promised to return Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

Don't forget.

andnbsp;

If I do not deliver war, I have no peace.

andnbsp;

The king of Jerusalem will die soon.

andnbsp;

When he is dead, the boy will become
king of a kingdom he cannot control.

andnbsp;

The Christians will make the war you need.

andnbsp;

I am Reynald of Chatillon!

andnbsp;

I am Reynald of Chatillon!

andnbsp;

Reynald of Chatillon!

andnbsp;

L... I am...

andnbsp;

Reynald of Chatillon!

andnbsp;

The things that we have left
undone plague us as death comes.

andnbsp;

That is why to the dying
there is no comfort but the Lord.

andnbsp;

Spare me your sermon.

andnbsp;

Go and prepare your people
for the coronation of my nephew.

andnbsp;

Your confession, my lord.

andnbsp;

I shall confess to God when I see him...

andnbsp;

not to you.

andnbsp;

Now, leave me.

andnbsp;

Tsk.

andnbsp;

You sometimes dream you are my wife.

andnbsp;

Let's pretend you are.

andnbsp;

I must go.

andnbsp;

We can't meet in the city.

andnbsp;

Then we will leave it.

andnbsp;

And live how? Live where?

andnbsp;

Balian, my brother's dying.

andnbsp;

My son will be king, and I his regent.
I must rule for him.

andnbsp;

And not just in Jerusalem,
but Ankara, Ashkelon, Beirut...

andnbsp;

And Guy?

andnbsp;

Always surround your knights
with foot soldiers.

andnbsp;

These rooms are not yours.

andnbsp;

One day I will be the husband
I was commissioned to be.

andnbsp;

And perhaps not, my dear.

andnbsp;

Your lover has 100 knights
and the love of the king.

andnbsp;

I, the largest force in the kingdom
and the support of the Templars.

andnbsp;

I can do without the king's affection.

andnbsp;

But as for your love...

andnbsp;

Then we must come to an understanding.

andnbsp;

You need my knights,
or his rule will be bloody and brief.

andnbsp;

So, my friend, the time has come
to conclude my affairs.

andnbsp;

If I leave the army with Guy, he will
take power and make war on the Muslims.

andnbsp;

We have decided that you shall take
command of the army of Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

Will you defend my nephew while he's king?

andnbsp;

Whatever you ask, I will serve.

andnbsp;

No. Hear it all before you answer.

andnbsp;

Would you marry my sister Sibylla,
were she free of Guy de Lusignan?

andnbsp;

And Guy?

andnbsp;

He will be executed.

andnbsp;

Along with his knights
who do not swear your allegiance.

andnbsp;

I cannot be the cause of that.
"Whatever you ask, I will serve."

andnbsp;

A king may move a man, you said.

andnbsp;

But the soul belongs to the man.

andnbsp;

Yes, I did.

andnbsp;

You have my love and my answer.

andnbsp;

Uh...

andnbsp;

So be it.

andnbsp;

Why do you protect Guy? Hm?

andnbsp;

He's a man who insults you, hates you.

andnbsp;

He'd kill you himself if he had the chance.

andnbsp;

But for the salvation of this kingdom,
would it be so hard to marry Sibylla?

andnbsp;

Jerusalem has no need of a perfect knight.

andnbsp;

No. It is a kingdom of conscience.

andnbsp;

Or nothing.

andnbsp;

Sibylla.

andnbsp;

Who are you to refuse a king?

andnbsp;

I will have power,
without Guy or with him.

andnbsp;

Guy isn't dead at your say-so,
or my brother's, but at mine.

andnbsp;

Do you have any idea of Jerusalem,
except that it is yours?

andnbsp;

You will never hold it in peace,
as your brother did.

andnbsp;

It will be war.
My grandfather took Jerusalem in blood.

andnbsp;

I'll keep it the same
way, or any way I can.

andnbsp;

I am what I am.
I offer you that.

andnbsp;

And the world.

andnbsp;

You say no.

andnbsp;

Do you think I'm like Guy?

andnbsp;

That I would sell my soul?

andnbsp;

There'll be a day when you will wish
you had done a little evil...

andnbsp;

to do a greater good.

andnbsp;

Reynald.

andnbsp;

My lord.

andnbsp;

Do you really think the king wants you
as head of the army once he's gone? Hm?

andnbsp;

Think your wife does?

andnbsp;

I have a problem.
Ah, yes. Balian.

andnbsp;

I saw him at Kerak.

andnbsp;

Celebrated.

andnbsp;

You must beware a popular man.

andnbsp;

Kill him.

andnbsp;

- What's that?
- England.

andnbsp;

- The king?
- Richard, and his father was Henry.

andnbsp;

Good. And that?
France. Will I ever see France?

andnbsp;

Maybe one day.
But you must be king here.

andnbsp;

How many islands can you see here?
One, two...

andnbsp;

The king will see you.
No, I can't.

andnbsp;

I can't bear to look at him.
He knows this.

andnbsp;

It doesn't mean I don't love him.

andnbsp;

Go, madam.

andnbsp;

Oh.

andnbsp;

Hello.

andnbsp;

I was dreaming.

andnbsp;

I was back in that summer
when I defeated Saladin.

andnbsp;

Do you remember it?

andnbsp;

I was only 16.

andnbsp;

You were a beautiful boy.
Yes.

andnbsp;

You've always been beautiful.

andnbsp;

In every way.

andnbsp;

My beautiful sister.
I've missed you.

andnbsp;

So beautiful.

andnbsp;

I'm sorry if I've caused you any pain.

andnbsp;

Remember me as I was.

andnbsp;

I Will.

andnbsp;

Sibylla.

andnbsp;

If my son has your knights...

andnbsp;

you have your wife.

andnbsp;

Behold your rightful king and heir to
the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem.

andnbsp;

Hail! Hail! Hail!

andnbsp;

Long live the king in prosperity.

andnbsp;

Long live the king!

andnbsp;

Long live the king!
Long live the king!

andnbsp;

One may stare into the light,
until one becomes the light.

andnbsp;

I've done it many times.

andnbsp;

There's your religion.
One spark, a creosote bush.

andnbsp;

There's your Moses.
I did not hear it speak.

andnbsp;

That does not mean that there is no God.

andnbsp;

Do you love her?
Yes.

andnbsp;

The heart will mend.
Your duty is to the people of the city.

andnbsp;

I go to pray.
For what?

andnbsp;

For the strength to endure what is to come.

andnbsp;

And what is to come?

andnbsp;

The reckoning is to come
for what was done 100 years before.

andnbsp;

The Muslims will never forget.

andnbsp;

Nor should they.

andnbsp;

My lady, your letter to Saladin.

andnbsp;

Peace to be sustained, borders respected,
trade allowed to continue.

andnbsp;

Is this wise?
To show your intentions?

andnbsp;

Better, surely, to let him wonder?

andnbsp;

We keep my brother's peace.
Sign.

andnbsp;

Take the seal.

andnbsp;

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Be careful.

andnbsp;

Put it back, my darling.

andnbsp;

Hey! Ha, ha, ha!

andnbsp;

There is a rumor.

andnbsp;

We must condemn it immediately.

andnbsp;

Call it treason.
And kill those who whisper it.

andnbsp;

The rumor will die
if we show the boy as active...

andnbsp;

How long before he wears a mask?

andnbsp;

Will you have one made for him?

andnbsp;

How did my boy deserve it?

andnbsp;

Jerusalem is dead, Tiberias.

andnbsp;

No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell.

andnbsp;

I will go to hell instead.

andnbsp;

Do you remember the story of Louan?
No.

andnbsp;

No?

andnbsp;

Do you remember why?
No.

andnbsp;

And he was so lonely that...

andnbsp;

he called all the gods.
Why?

andnbsp;

Because he was desperate.
As a proof of love.

andnbsp;
