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

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.

(gravedigger sings)

(horse whinnies)

Crusaders.

Clear the road, if you will.

(man) Squire...

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? 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.

Release your brother.
I cannot do without him.

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.

- (man #1) And what of Jerusalem?
- (man #2) 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.
- Saladin, their king.

- Sal-adin.
- (belches) Gibberish.

- Very fine.
- And yet, you do not drink.

A knight 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 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.

(church bell ringing in distance)

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!

(contemptuous grunt)

We shall work.

(woman) 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.
- (hospitaller) 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.

(priest) He has 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.

(priest) 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 put it delicately.
She was a suicide. She is in hell.

Though what she does there
without a head...

(Godfrey) 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!

(shouts in Cameroon)

- 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, fünf.

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.
If you say he's guilty, we'll fight.

- God will decide the truth of it.
- My German friend is a 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.

(man shouts)

To the flanks.

Thank my brother for his love.

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

(clears throat)

I am the son of Roger de Cormier.

I am accorded the privilege of ransom.

This is true.

(Godfrey winces)

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.

- 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 Saladin 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.

(religious chanting)

- Who are those men?
- Muslims.

Saracens.

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

(speaks Arabic)

"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.

(hospitaller) 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 God, not your son.

Are you sorry for all your sins?

For all but one.

(prays)

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.

(man shouts)

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.

(speaks Arabic)

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!
- (speaks Arabic)

- Why? Why should he? He is a knight.
- And I am the baron of Ibelin.

(they speak Arabic)

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

I am the new one.

(man on horse) Stop!

That's enough!

Stop! Stop!

Ibelin, that's enough!

Ibelin! Stop!

- You take it 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 am 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.

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.

(speaks Arabic)

No. No.
Give me the towel.

Give me the towel. Give me the towel.

(speaks Arabic)

(Godfrey) A man who in France
had not a house,

is, in the Holy Land,
the master of a city.

(greetings in Arabic)

Stop. You're hurting him.

Whoa.

- Where's your master?
- I have none.

Give me some water.

Thank you for the drink.

If you 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 have lost my religion.
- I put no stock in 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 Saladin 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.

(crowd cheering)

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 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.

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

that you had cause.

What know you of Saladin?

He is king of the Saracens
and 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 Saladin and the king between them
would make a better world.

If it lives only for a while,
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.

(Tiberias) 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 years.

I cannot eat.
I am 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.
- (giggles)

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.

(door creaks)

(whispers) Tiberias thinks me unpredictable.

I am unpredictable.

No. There.

(man) 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 I felt no pain.

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

The Saracens say 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?
- 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 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 protect me.

There, my lord.

Ibelin.

(speaks Arabic)

"Quod sumus... hoc eritis."

"Such as we are... you will be."

(speaks Arabic)

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.

(speaks Arabic)

Right. Stone the walls.

(speaks Arabic)

I'm on my way to Cana.

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're 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?

(chanting)

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.

(creaking)

- I could stay here for ever.
- This house is yours.

Why do you think I'm here?

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

- 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 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.

(Lusignan) They've seen us.

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

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.

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

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!

- (all) 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.

(Tiberias) Guy de Lusignan
and Reynald de Chatillon,

with the Templars,
have attacked a Saracen caravan.

(crowd shouting)

- (Lusignan) Silence!
- (templar) It was no caravan.

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

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

Saladin will come into this kingdom...

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

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.

Does Tiberias suggest it could be?

There must be war.
God wills it.

God wills it!

Silence!

Saladin 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.
- (cheering)

What becomes of us?

The world will decide.

The world always decides.

(man) Somebody's shot!
Somebody's shot!

My lord, the king is marching on Kerak.

Saracen cavalry are coming
to close Reynald in.

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

Go into the fortress now.

(Arabic)

Visitors.

(man) 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.

- 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 Saladin
that Jerusalem has come.

Saladin.

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.

(laboured breathing)

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.

(speaks Arabic)

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.

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!

Reynald of Chatillon!

I am...

Reynald of Chatillon!

(patriarch) 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.

(king) 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.

Tsk.

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 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?
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.

(Lusignan) Reynald.

(keys jangle)

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.

- (Sibylla) What's that?
- (boy) 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.

(laboured breathing)

Oh.

Hello.

I was dreaming.

I was back in that summer
when I defeated Saladin.

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.

(crowd) Hail! Hail! Hail!

Long live the king in prosperity.

(crowd) Long live the king!

Long live the king!
Long live the king!

(hospitaller) 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 Saladin.

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. Be careful.

Put it back, my darling.

(man) Hey! (laughs)

(chatters in Arabic)

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.

# Dites-moi, ma mère, ma mère

# Ce que j'entends cogner ici

# Ma fille, c'est le charpentier

# Qui raccomode

# Ma fille, c'est la procession

# Qui fait... (voice falters)

(mouths words)

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.

(crowd) Hail! Hail! Hail!

I, Sibylla,
by the grace of the holy spirit,

choose as king Guy de Lusignan,
the man who has been my husband.

With the help of God,
he will rule his people well.

Long live the king in prosperity.

(crowd) Long live the king.
Long live the king. Long live the king.

I am what I am.

Someone has to be.

Saladin's sister.

I know.

(speaks Arabic)

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.

(murmurs of disapproval)

Does he?

What answer do you return to Saladin?

This.

Take the head to Damascus.

I am Jerusalem.

Assemble the army!

(cheering)

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?
- (all) 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 Saladin,

this army will be destroyed
and the city left defenceless.

When I wish a blacksmith
to advise me in war, I will tell him.

Saladin 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 Saladin has finished with Guy,
he will come.

We must look to the defences.

The boy's 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.

(Sibylla) # ..cogner ici

# Ma fille, c'est le charpentier

# Qui raccomode...

When Saladin 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.

Saladin must move his army
from water to water.

That gives you four days, maybe five.

God be with you.

He is 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 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.

(man) 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 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.

- 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.

There can be no victory except through God.

- My lord?
- No.

When will it begin?

Soon.

(man) Ballista!

Get them to the walls.

(man) Bring water!

Get the machines to the walls.

Push!

Why do they not fire back?

They wait.

(singing)

That was only the first day.
There may be 100 more.

Saladin will show no mercy.

We must hold out.
Force him to offer terms.

- What terms?
- We fight for the people.

Their safety and freedom.

(chanting)

- Mercy.
- No. I cannot.

(donkey brays)

(laughter)

- 400.
- 400.

- 400.
- Fire!

Fire!

- 300.
- 300.

- Fire!
- Fire!

- 150.
- 150.

Fire!

(Balian) Hold your fire!

Hold!

Fire!

Oil! Now!

Fire!

- (Saladin) 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.

(prays in Arabic)

(patriarch) When a body is burnt,
it cannot be resurrected until Judgment 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.

(speaks Arabic)

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 Saladin.

Saladin.

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.

(man) 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.
