[Shovel Hitting Dirt]

[Sheep Bleating]

Crusaders

Clear the road, if you will

[Horse Whinnying]

- [Man] Squire! - Hyah!

Wait She was a suicide

Cut off her head

And return the ax

[Bleating]

You know this place, my lord?

Know it? I know all of it

- [Children Chattering] - [Woman] I told you to stop that now!

That is the man

That is the man

We need all these horses shod

We need food, and we'll pay

Says yes

The blacksmith is the man you seek His name is Balian

But know that he mourns

The burial we passed at the crossroads was for his wife

Their child died She was overcome with grief and killed herself

Do you still advise what you advised upon the road?

I do, my lord

What does that say?

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

Leave me with this man

I am sorry you lost your wife and child

I also have lost

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

For myself, I call it here

Now

I knew your mother

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

But

I did not force her

I loved her

in my fashion

Balian, I am your father

I have forgiveness to ask of you

[Metal Scraping]

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

then continue until they speak something else

We go by Messina Good-bye

[Children Shouting, Chattering]

They would have taken you to Jerusalem

away from all this

I'm your priest, Balian

I tell you, God has abandoned you

I swear to you

you will have no peace so long as you stay here

No man ever needed a new world more

The village does not want you

If you take the Crusade

you may relieve your wife's position in hell

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

Though what she does there without a head...

[Yelling]

[Screaming]

[Whinnying]

[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

[Spits, Sighs]

- 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 - Ah, yes

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 "poste di falcone"... the guard of the hawk

Strike from high, like this

[Grunts] 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

[Grunting]

I have your leave?

Pay attention

[Shouting, Grunting]

- [Blades Clanging] - [Hoof beats, Horses Whinnying]

What's this?

You have with you a man, Balian, who killed a priest

I'm charged by the lord bishop to bring him back

What he says is true

They have the right to take me

I say he is innocent of the charge

If you say he's guilty, then we'll fight, and God will decide the truth of it

My German friend is a close student of the law

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

He's a murderer

So am I

Whoever dies here today, you will certainly be among them

You're a lord

I must give you the road

Hyah! Hyah!

Heinrich! [Shouts In Foreign Language]

- Aah! - [Horses Whinnying]

To the flanks!

[Yelling]

Aah!

- Hyah! - Aah!

[Grunting, Groaning]

[Yelling]

[Growling, Yelling]

- Hyah! - Come on!

Hyah!

[Yells]

Thank the bishop for his love!

[Groans]

[Hisses, Groans]

[Panting]

[Snaps]

Ah Well, you broke the arrow

If the ribs are broken, some 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

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

So do I

To kill an infidel is not murder

It is the path to heaven

To kill an infidel is not murder

It is the path to heaven

- [Bleating] - [Bell Ringing]

To kill an infidel is not murder

It is the path to heaven

Who is this?

[Godfrey] My son

Would I have fought you when you were still capable of making bastards

[Laughing]

I knew your mother when she was making hers

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

[Chuckles]

All will be settled [Continues Chuckling]

[Chattering In Arabic]

[Shallow Breathing]

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 it in yourself to be

I hope to find forgiveness

That's all I know

[Shallow Breathing Continues]

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 Crusade?

It does

My son, you are all that survives me

Do not disappoint me

[Man Chanting Prayer]

Who are those men?

Muslims Saracens

And they're allowed their prayers?

- [Chanting Continues] - If they pay the tax

Subhena Rabi Alladin

Praise be to God It is proper to praise him

Sounds like our prayers

It's good

[Man Speaking Arabic]

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

[Whispering] Holy mother of God, pray for us

now and at the hour of our death

(music)[Man Singing]

Balian

Hurry

I can go no further

[Godfrey Wheezing, Faint]

Get on your knees

[Shallow Breathing]

[Wheezing] 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

Arise a knight and baron of Ibelin

[Muttering]

Defend the king

If the king is no more

protect the people

It is time now, my lord, to confess to holy God, not your son

Are you sorry for all your sins?

For all but one

[Sighs]

[Speaking Latin]

You sail now for Jerusalem, as your father wished I'll follow within the week

This journey can be perilous

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

If not

God bless you

- [Thunderclap] - [Man Screaming]

[Whinnying]

[Horse Whinnying]

[Whinnying Continues]

[Nickers]

Whoa Whoa

Whoa

[Man Shouts In Arabic]

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

[Translating Into Arabic]

[Responding In 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

[Shouts In Arabic]

[Yells]

Fight me fairly!

- [Arabic] - Why? Why should he?

- He is a knight - And I am the baron of Ibelin

[Translating Into Arabic]

[Speaking Arabic]

He says the baron of Ibelin is old

He knew him at Damascus

I am the new one

[Yelling, Grunting]

[Arabic] That's enough

Stop! [Arabic]

Ibelin, that's enough! Ibelin, no!

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

It was the end of his time

All is as God wills it

Now finish this

[Sighs] Take me to Jerusalem

[Sheep Bleating]

[Shouting, Chattering]

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 very great cavalier among the Muslims

His name was Mummad al Fais

I will pray for him

Your quality will be known among your enemies

before ever you meet them, my friend

Old man, where is it that Christ was crucified?

Salaam alaikum

[Sighs]

[Thinking] God, what is it you want of me?

[Thinking] 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

[Giggling]

[Bells Pealing]

- [Speaks Arabic] - [Arabic]

- [Whinnying] - Stop

You're hurting him

Whoa Whoa

Where's your master?

I have none

Give me some water

Thank you for the drink

If you happen to see Balian, the son of Godfrey

tell him that Sibylla called

- [Horse Whinnies] - [Sibylla Speaks Command In Arabic]

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

By the word "religion".

I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God

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

[Shouting, Yelling]

[Shouting Continues]

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, Shouting]

So they are dying

for what the pope would command them to do

Yes But not Christ, I think

Nor this king

[Cheering Continues]

Who says I raid?

That witness

all of Jerusalem

holy God and me

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

There will come a day, Reynald de Chatillon

when you are not protected by your title

Oh? When will that be?

Alert me, Tiberias, when men are equal

and the kingdom of heaven has arrived

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

Prove it

I will wait at Kerak until you do

The king will take your castle of Kerak, Reynald

Try to take it, Tiberias

I'll be there

My lord Tiberias

My lord

It's true

You're your father's son

He was my friend

I am 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?

That he is king of the Saracens

and that he surrounds this kingdom

He has 200,000 men in Damascus alone

He could win a war if he goes to war

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

by Templar bastards like Reynald de Chatillon

Here, from this room, I keep the peace, so 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, Tiberias, it still has lived

All right

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?

Fifty

They've sworn allegiance to the king?

Of course, Tiberias

Obviously

You sit at my table?

- Is it not the king's table? - Is it? I have not seen a king at it for some years

I cannot eat l... 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 absences

That is either the best of wives

or the very, very worst

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

I am a member of this court

Why should I make league with that troublemaker?

To the very best of wives

[Speaking Arabic]

[Whispers] My lord, the king will see him now

[Whispers] My lord, the king will see him 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 - [Chuckles]

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

[Floor Creaks]

[Whispers] Tiberias thinks me unpredictable

I am unpredictable

No There

Come forward I am glad to meet Godfrey's son

He was one of my greatest teachers

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

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

He wept when he gave my father the news

that I am a leper

The Saracens say that this disease

is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom

As wretched as I am

these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell

is far more severe and lasting

If that's true, I call it unfair

Come Sit

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

You see, none of us

choose our end, really

A king may move a man

A father may claim a son

But remember that even when those who move you be kings

or men of power

your soul is in your keeping alone

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

Then go now to your father's house at Ibelin

and from there protect the pilgrim road

Protect the helpless

And then perhaps one day

when I am helpless, you will come and protect me

There, my lord

Ibelin

[Speaks Arabic]

[Arabic Continues]

[Arabic]

Your father was important

His lands were not

That will suit me

[Yelling, Laughing]

My lord, you have a thousand acres

a hundred families

You have Christians, Jews, Muslims

You have 50 pairs of oxen

What we do not have is water

[Speaking Arabic]

[Arabic]

[Arabic]

Right Stone the walls

- [Shouting In Arabic] - [Arabic]

[Arabic Continues]

[Arabic]

[Shouting, Cheering]

[Shouting In Arabic]

[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

[Giggles]

I expect your hospitality

It is given

- [Balian] Latif - [Arabic]

[Children Shouting]

[Arabic]

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?

[Man Chanting Prayer In Arabic]

[Responding In Arabic]

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

I was 15 at the time

[Sighs]

[Hinge Creaks]

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... 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

[Guy] They've seen us

Go after them

- A rider is getting away - It's a broad desert Nothing'll come of it

- I prefer not to be hanged before my wife is queen - [Reynald] Don't worry

"Who but Reynald?" they'll say

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

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

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 Shouting] God wills it! - Jerusalem!

Charge!

It's you! Ha!

[Tiberias] Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon, with the Templars

have attacked a Saracen caravan

- [Angry Shouting] - Liar!

[Guy] Silence!

It was no caravan

It was an army headed for Bethlehem to desecrate the birthplace of our Lord!

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

Saladin will come into this kingdom...

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

[Murmuring]

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

- [Scattered Laughing] - We must not go to war with Saladin!

- We do not want it, and we may not win it - Blasphemy!

[All Shouting] Blasphemy!

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

[Templar Master] Does the count of Tiberias suggest that it could be?

There must be war God wills it!

- God wills it! - God wills it!

- [All Shouting] - God wills it!

God wills it!

Silence!

Saladin has crossed the Jordan with 200,000 men

He will 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

My lord! The king is marching on Kerak

[Braying]

[Shouting]

Let's go! Hurry Straight on!

Saracen cavalry They're coming to close Reynald in

These people are not safe outside the walls

Saladin will certainly come behind him

[Man Shouting In Arabic]

Go into the fortress now

- [Speaks Arabic] - Hyah! Hah!

- Hyah! Hyah! - Hyah!

- Hyah! - Hyah!

Visitors!

My lord Balian! My lord Balian!

My lord Reynald prays you bring your force into Kerak

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

We'll hold the Saracen cavalry until the king arrives

So be it Hyah!

We cannot attack that and live

[Boy Shouts In Arabic]

- My lady - [Coughing] What do you look at?

A knight

His men

Are you with me?

[Kisses]

[Man Yells In Arabic]

[Yelling]

Forward!

Divide!

[Screams]

[Grunts]

[Man Grunts]

Your quality will be known among your enemies

before ever you meet them, my friend

You were not that man's servant

No He was my servant

- What becomes of us? - As you deserve

You reap what you sow

You have heard of this, no?

Get up

You may go into Kerak

but you will die there

My master is here

Tell my lord Saladin that Jerusalem has come

[Whispers] Saladin

[Speaks Arabic]

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

I pray you'll 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

[Groans Quietly]

I will send you my physicians

- Salaam alaikum - Alaikum salaam

I am Reynald of Chatillon!

[Grunting]

On your knees

Lower

I am Jerusalem

And you, Reynald

will give me the kiss of peace

[Gasping]

Guard

- What are you looking at? - A dead man

Reynald de Chatillon, you are arrested

and condemned

Come

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] - [Men Chattering]

I need you in Jerusalem

[Horse Whinnying]

- Salaam alaikum - Alaikum salaam

Why did we retire?

Why?

God did not favor 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 am not king, I quake for Islam

Thank you for your visit

Thank you for your visit

You promised

You promised to return Jerusalem

Don't forget

[Man Shouting Orders]

So, my friend

the time has come to conclude my affairs

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

If I leave the army with Guy, he will take power through my sister

and make war on the Muslims

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

Oh So be it

Why do you protect Guy, hmm?

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

who'd kill you himself if he had the chance

Fulfill 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 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

My lord

[Grunting]

Mmm

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

Think your wife does?

- I have a problem - Ah, yes Balian

I saw him at Kerak

Celebrated

Kill him

[Gasps]

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 have always been beautiful

In every way

My beautiful sister

So beautiful

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

Remember me as I was

I will

Sibylla

If I have your knights

you have your wife

[Bell Tolling]

[Patriarch] Behold your rightful queen and heir

to the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem

[Chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes!

I, Sibylla, by the grace of the Holy Spirit

choose as king Guy de Lusignan

the man who's been my husband

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

[Patriarch] Long live the king in prosperity

[With Crowd] Long live the king Long live the king

Long live the king

[Yells]

[Ferocious Yell]

Is this why you came to the Holy Land?

Come on!

[Shrieks]

Leave us

[Grunting]

- The king is in heaven? - Yes

- Have the Templars killed Balian? - Yes

Reynald

give me a war

That is what I do

[Men Screaming]

I am what I am

Someone has to be

[Screaming In Arabic]

Saladin's sister

I know

Saladin achki

I know

- Salaam alaikum - Alaikum salaam

Speak

The sultan demands the return of his sister's body

the heads of those responsible

and the surrender of Jerusalem

[All Scoffing]

Does he?

What answer do you return to Saladin?

- This - [Grunts]

[All Shouting]

- [Shouting In Arabic] - Take the head to Damascus

[Arabic Continues]

I am Jerusalem

- Assemble the army! Yea! - [All Cheering]

[Cheering Fades]

[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

[Soldiers] Aye!

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 defenseless

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 man

- 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

[Officer] Forward!

Forward!

Tiberias

When Saladin has finished with Guy, he will come

We must look to the defenses

The king's dead

and Jerusalem along with him

[Officer] Keep to your lines!

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

When Saladin comes

we're not defensible

Save the people from what I have done

I will

[Coughing]

[Sizzling]

[Speaks Arabic]

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

[Shouts]

[Gurgling]

A king does not kill a king

Were you not close enough to a great king

to learn by his example?

I've given Jerusalem my whole life

Everything

First I thought we were fighting for God

Then I realized 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's no longer with me

[Man Speaking Arabic]

- Mark 400 - Four hundred!

Four hundred!

They're here

It is only one man

No They're here

This is the only section of the wall that they can attack

once they begin to bombard the walls

They will stop only to avoid hitting their own siege towers as they come in

We 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!

[Chattering]

Silence!

[Chattering Ceases]

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 offense 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 sepulcher?

Who has claim?

No one has claim

All have claim!

- That is blasphemy - Be quiet

We defend this city

not to protect these stones

but the people living within these walls

My lord My lord, my lord

How are we to defend Jerusalem without knights?

- We have no knights! - Truly?

- What is your condition? - I'm servant to the patriarch

He's, uh, one of my servants

Is he? You were born a servant?

Kneel

Every man at arms

or capable of bearing them

kneel!

On your knees!

Be without fear in the face of your enemies

Be brave and upright that God may love thee

Speak the truth even if it leads to your death

Safeguard the helpless

That is your oath

And that is so you remember it

Rise a knight

Rise a knight!

Who do you think you are? Will you alter the world?

Does making a man a knight make him a better fighter?

- Yes - [Sighs]

[Approaching Hoof beats]

[Shouting In Arabic]

- My lord? - No

When will it begin?

Soon

[Man Shouts, Indistinct]

Get them to the walls!

[Soldier] Water! Bring water!

Get to the walls

Push!

- Run! - Push!

[Man Shouts]

Why do they not fire back?

- They wait - [Man Shouts In Arabic]

[Screaming]

(music)[Singing In Arabic]

That was only the first day There may be a hundred 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

[Grunting]

- Mercy - No

I cannot

[Soldiers jeering]

- Four hundred! - Four hundred!

- Four hundred! - Fire! Fire!

[Man Screams]

- Three hundred! - Three hundred!

- Fire! - Fire!

Fire!

- One-fifty! - One-fifty!

Line up! Fire!

Hold your fire! Hold!

[Praying In Arabic]

Fire!

Fire!

[Screaming]

[Shouting In Arabic]

[Pounding Continues]

Oil! Now!

Fire!

[Screaming]

[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 have had a different teacher

[Soldier Screaming]

[Shouts In Arabic]

[Grunting]

[Screams]

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Now!

[Praying In Arabic]

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

- Salaam alaikum - Alaikum salaam

The wall, where the Christopher Gate used to be, has been weakened

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

and we must prepare

Brothers! Brothers!

God has sent you this day!

You will take no prisoners!

As they did, so shall it be done!

- Allah hu akbar! - Allah hu akbar!

[Shouting Continues]

[Shouting Continues]

[Cheering]

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

- [Loud Explosion] - So I say let them come!

Let them come!

- Come on! Come on! - [Cheering]

Come on!

[All Shouting]

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

And every Christian knight you kill will take 10 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

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

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

Salaam 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

- [Cheering] - Balian!

Balian!

[Patriarch] Yes! Thanks to the Lord!

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

This horse

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

Alaikum salaam

A queen never walks

And yet you are walking

[Children Chattering]

- [Approaching Hoof beats] - [Man] Forward!

Forward!

[Man] 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've 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

[Man] Formation! Forward!
