2:26She's denied the cross for suicide...
2:29and buried at the center of a crossroads. Huh.
2:33Show me the logic. Father?
2:36What?
2:38The devil is a practical man.
2:41If she were a witch, she was a poor return on his investment.
2:45What would you know of logic?
2:47Oh, I have ears, Father. Although one is notched because I love justice.
2:52You love thieving.
2:54Shut up. You dig.
3:20Crusaders.
3:26Clear the road, if you will.
3:52Squire! Hyah!
3:59This is for the burial from my lord...
4:01and a Mass...
4:03for her soul.
4:10Wait.
4:12Have you forgotten? She was your brother's wife.
4:15She was a suicide. Cut off her head.
4:17And return the ax.
4:34You know this place, my lord?
4:37Know it?
4:39I know all of it.
4:46Your brother? You have spoken to him?
4:49On what matter, my lord? He is still arrested.
4:51Your brother is as responsible for his wife's sin as I am.
4:55Opinions differ, my lord.
4:58The burial was... Yes.
5:01And you did not mutilate the person? No.
5:04Good. The law can go too far.
5:08It can too far. I ask myself...
5:11"Would Jesus do it thusly?"
5:13There is so much done in Christendom of which Christ would be incapable.
5:17You must release your brother. I cannot do without him.
5:20My-My brother, my lord bishop, uh, is possessed by the devil...
5:24and must be... examined.
5:28Your brother is as mad as you are. He grieves.
5:31Without your brother, I cannot finish my church.
5:33Let him out. And give him this.
5:36And tell him that he is at the very center of my prayers.
6:34The bishop needs you.
6:37Release him. On your feet.
6:39This is not heaven. It's the world.
6:43And there's troubles in it.
7:03Do yourself no injury.
7:05Other men are always good for that.
7:26And what of Jerusalem? Jerusalem?
7:30In peril, my lord, as always.
7:33We have stood there against the Saracens for over a hundred years.
7:36The Saracens, as you call them, have now unified in Egypt...
7:40Syria and all Arabia.
7:43Saracens and someone new.
7:45Saladin, the king.
7:48Gibberish.
7:53Very fine. And yet, you do not drink.
7:58A knight should be a knight...
8:00a monk a monk. Brother.
8:02Not both. One, that's what I say.
8:05Now I may be old-fashioned, but, as for the cup...
8:10I have, uh, an artificer, uh, a blacksmith.
8:14Or did have.
8:18Which son of the blacksmith of my time is the blacksmith now?
8:23Balian, the eldest.
8:25His child died.
8:28His wife fell into a melancholy. She would not listen to reason.
8:31She killed herself... it occurs.
8:36But what's that to you?
8:40Private matter.
8:48It's been six and 20 years since my brother took the cross.
8:50Now he returns an actual baron of the kingdom of Jerusalem.
8:56How is that for the lot of the younger brother?
8:59With no heir, comes to me and thus to you.
9:04Then I thank the stars for my uncle.
9:29Go on.
9:37Her grave was here.
9:40Or was it there?
9:43I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact location.
9:46I wasn't present at the burial.
9:52Call me a liar.
9:54You have reason.
10:00You never fight back.
10:07Hmm? Hmm?
10:10You always turn the other cheek.
10:12I think that you conceive yourself without sin.
10:17That is a sin!
11:33We shall work.
11:57I told you to stop that now!
12:09That is the man. That is the man.
12:11You're an armorer, yes?
12:14An artificer according to your lord and this priest.
12:18You have my sympathy and my blessing.
12:21Your dead wife and stillborn child are today the subject of my prayers.
12:26We need all these horses shod.
12:29We need food, and we'll pay.
12:34Says yes.
12:36Have you killed any? Have you killed any?
12:45He has made great engines for sieges.
12:50He has made war machines that cast the largest stones.
12:54He also works finely in silver.
12:58He will be one of the few on your journey worth more alive than dead.
13:02Shut up.
13:11Have you been at war?
13:13On horse. And as an enginer also.
13:18Against whom and for whom did you fight?
13:20For one lord against another...
13:22on a point which cannot be remembered.
13:25There's better game now... one god against another.
13:28The pay is proportionate. I've been telling him that.
14:23Do you still advise what you advised upon the road?
14:27I do, my lord.
14:29But know that this man Balian mourns his wife.
14:44What does that say?
14:46"What man is a man who does not make the world better?"
14:50Leave me with this man.
14:59God has made us man. We must suffer all.
15:04I also have lost.
15:13Some say Jerusalem is the very center of the world for asking forgiveness.
15:19For myself, I call it here.
15:22Now.
15:36I knew your namesake.
15:45I knew your mother.
15:51To be courteous, I should say that it was against her objections.
15:56But I was the lord's brother and she had no choice.
15:59But I did not force her.
16:11I have forgiveness to ask of you.
16:33I am Godfrey, the baron of Ibelin.
16:36I have 100 men at arms in Jerusalem.
16:39If you will come with me, you will have a living...
16:43and... you will have my thanks.
16:46There it is.
16:48Whoever you are, my lord...
16:51my place is here.
16:53What made it your place is now dead.
17:02You will never see me again.
17:05If you want anything of me, take it now.
17:10I want nothing.
17:12I am sorry for your troubles. God protect you.
17:36Jerusalem is easy to find.
17:39You come to where the men speak Italian...
17:42then continue until they speak something else.
17:45We go by Messina. Good-bye.
18:26The village does not want you.
18:31When the old lord is dead, they will drive you out.
18:39When the bishop is dead, it is certain.
18:43And you take my property.
18:45The Church. You.
18:47They would have taken you to Jerusalem...
18:50away from... all this.
18:53I arranged it.
18:59I swear to you...
19:01you will have no peace so long as you stay here.
19:06No man ever needed a new world more.
19:09Imagine your sin and pain erased.
19:14All.
19:28If you take the Crusade...
19:31you may relieve your wife's position in hell.
19:34I put it delicately... She was a suicide. She is in hell.
19:41Though what she does there without a head...
21:03Wait here.
21:21Have you come to kill me?
21:23Even these days, it is not easy.
21:27Well?
21:36I have done...
21:40murder.
21:42Haven't we all?
21:44Is it true...
21:46that in Jerusalem I can erase my sins...
21:50and those of my wife?
21:52Is it true?
21:54We can find out together.
21:58Show me your hand.
22:18Hey!
22:50Pick it up. Let's see what you're made of. His hand is hurt, my lord.
22:54I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle. Ah, yes.
23:06Never use a low guard. You fight well.
23:10Let's work on your skills.
23:17Take a high guard, like this.
23:20The Italians call it la poste di falcone... the guard of the hawk.
23:24Strike from high, like this.
23:27Do it.
23:30Sword straighter. Come on.
23:33Leg back, bend your knees. Sword straighter.
23:38Defend yourself.
23:42The blade isn't the only part of a sword.
23:49Attack.
23:59I have your leave?
24:07Pay attention.
24:31What's this?
24:44Uncle. Nephew.
24:46You have with you a man, Balian, who killed a priest, his brother.
24:50I'm charged by both my father and the lord bishop to bring him back.
25:02What he says is true.
25:05They have the right to take me.
25:07I say he is innocent of the charge.
25:08If you say he's guilty, then we'll fight, and God will decide the truth of it.
25:13My German friend is a close student of the law.
25:17Just give him to me. I'll fight you for something else.
25:20Uncle, he's a murderer.
25:23So am I.
25:29Whoever dies here today, you will certainly be among them.
25:33You are my uncle. I must give you the road.
25:38Hyah! Hyah!
25:50Heinrich!
25:52Aah!
25:54To the flanks!
26:09Aah!
26:16Hyah! Aah!
27:31Hyah! Come on!
27:35Hyah!
28:02Thank my brother for his love!
28:43I am the son of Roger...
28:45Take your helmet off while addressing me.
28:56I'm am the son of Roger de Cormiere.
29:05I am accorded the privilege of ransom.
29:11This is true.
29:49Ah. Well, you broke the arrow.
29:54If the ribs are broken, some marrow may enter the blood...
29:59in which case you'll take a fever and die.
30:03Or a cyst will form...
30:05and you'll live.
30:09You're in the hands of God.
30:11Get me some more wine.
30:25It was not...
30:27that they had no right to take you.
30:30It was the way they asked.
30:33They had the right to take me.
30:37So do I.
30:54To kill an infidel, the pope has said, is not murder.
30:59It is the path to heaven.
31:02To kill an infidel, the pope has said, is not murder.
31:06It is the path to heaven.
31:09Godfrey.
31:14To kill an infidel, the pope has said, is not murder.
31:18It is the path to heaven.
31:28Where do you go? To Jerusalem, brother.
31:31By which road? Someone knows.
31:35God knows.
31:51When shall we stop this madness?
31:53It will soon be beyond my concern.
32:03Who is this?
32:07My son.
32:13Would I have fought you when you were still capable of making bastards.
32:19I knew your mother when she was making hers.
32:23Fortunately, you're too old to be one of mine.
32:28All will be settled.
33:30Do you know...
33:32what lies in the Holy Land?
33:35A new world.
33:37A man who, in France, had not a house...
33:40is, in the Holy Land, the master of a city.
33:43He who was the master of a city begs in the gutter.
33:48There, at the end of the world...
33:50you are not what you were born...
33:53but what you have it in yourself to be.
33:57I hope to find forgiveness.
33:59That's all I know.
34:05Whatever your position, you are of my house...
34:08and that means you will serve the king of Jerusalem.
34:12What could a king ask of a man like me?
34:17A better world than has ever been seen.
34:21A kingdom of conscience.
34:24A kingdom of heaven.
34:26There is peace between Christian and Muslim.
34:29We live together.
34:31Or, between Saladin and the king, we try.
34:36Did you think that lay at the end of Crusade?
34:41It does.
34:43My son, you are all that survives me.
34:46Do not disappoint me.
34:53When we took the Holy Land, we took the Saracen trading ports.
34:57Italian ships carry silks and spices and pilgrims, if they have money.
35:06And Italy becomes rich as the Savior intended.
35:14Who are those men?
35:16Muslims. Saracens.
35:20And they're allowed their prayers?
35:22If they pay the tax.
35:25Subhena Rabi Alladin.
35:27Praise be to God. It is proper to praise him.
35:32Sounds like our prayers.
35:41It's good.
35:51When the king is dead...
35:53Jerusalem will be no place for friends of Muslims...
35:57or traitors to Christendom...
36:00like your father.
36:02I am Guy de Lusignan.
36:07Remember that name.
36:09And me.
36:16- Keep it. - My lord.
36:21How will you ride if you have no stick to beat the horse?
36:28He will be king in Jerusalem one day.
36:34Holy mother of God, pray for us...
36:36now and at the hour of our death.
36:45Balian.
36:52Hurry.
37:04I can go no further.
37:15Get on your knees.
37:39Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
37:42Be brave and upright that God may love thee.
37:46Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death.
37:50Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
37:55That is your oath.
38:05And that's so you remember it.
38:15Arise a knight and baron of Ibelin.
38:31Defend the king.
38:34I- If the king is no more...
38:36protect the people.
38:40It is time now, my lord, to confess to holy God, not your son.
38:46Are you sorry for all your sins?
38:48For all but one.
39:15You sail now for Jerusalem, as your father wished. I'll follow within the week.
39:20Now the voyage is perilous.
39:23If God has purpose for you there, he'll keep you safe in his hands.
39:28If not...
39:31God bless you.
42:26Whoa. Whoa.
42:28Whoa.
42:55He says that is his horse.
42:57Why would it be his horse?
43:00Because it is on his land!
43:02I took this horse from the sea.
43:14He says you are a great liar...
43:16and he will fight you because you are a liar.
43:19I have no desire to fight.
43:22Then you must give him the horse.
43:30No.
43:44Fight me fairly!
43:46Why? Why should he?
43:49He is a knight. And I am the baron of Ibelin.
44:00He says the baron of Ibelin is old.
44:03He knew him at Damascus.
44:06I am the new one.
44:30Stop!
44:35Ibelin, that's enough! Ibelin, no!
45:00You have taken it very well that I have killed your master.
45:03It was the end of his time.
45:07All is as God wills it.
45:12Now finish this.
45:32Take me to Jerusalem.
46:37Very good horse.
46:41Take the horse...
46:43and be about your business.
46:46This is your prize of battle.
46:49I am your prisoner... your slave, should you wish it.
46:52I have been a slave, or very near to one.
46:55I will never keep one, nor suffer any to be kept.
46:58Go.
47:08The man you killed was a very great cavalier among the Muslims.
47:12His name was Mummad al Fais.
47:14I will pray for him.
47:17Your quality will be known among your enemies...
47:20before ever you meet them, my friend.
47:33Old man, where is it that Christ was crucified?
47:57Salaam alaikum.
48:21God, what is it you want of me?
49:02How can you be in hell when you're in my heart?
49:49You must have known him. What?
49:52Since you carry Godfrey's sword, you must have known him.
49:59I did.
50:01A man my size?
50:07Yes.
50:09And green eyes.
50:16Blue.
50:24Come with us...
50:27my lord.
50:51No. Give me the towel.
50:54Give me the towel. Give me the towel.
51:30A man who, in France, had not a house...
51:32is, in the Holy Land, the master of a city.
52:07Stop.
52:09You're hurting him.
52:11Whoa. Whoa.
52:31Where's your master?
52:34I have none.
52:38Give me some water.
52:53Thank you for the drink.
52:58If you happen to see Balian, the son of Godfrey...
53:02tell him that Sibylla called.
53:15So, how find you Jerusalem?
53:18God does not speak to me.
53:20Not even on the hill...
53:23where Christ died.
53:25I am outside God's grace.
53:27I have not heard that.
53:29At any rate, it seems...
53:33I have lost my religion.
53:35I put no stock in religion.
53:38By the word "religion"...
53:40I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God.
53:44I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers.
53:49Holiness...
53:51is in right action...
53:53and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves.
53:58And goodness...
54:02what God desires...
54:05is here and here.
54:08By what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man.
54:14Or not.
54:16Come.
54:42The king has made a peace with Saladin these past six years.
54:46He holds Jerusalem as a place for prayer for all faiths...
54:50as the Muslims did before we came.
54:53These men are Templars. They killed Arabs.
55:03So they are dying...
55:05for what the pope would command them to do.
55:08Yes. But not Christ, I think.
55:11Nor this king.
55:25Who says I raid?
55:28That witness...
55:30all of Jerusalem...
55:33holy God and me.
55:35That witness, if you call him that, is a Saracen. He lies.
55:41There will come a day, Reynald de Chatillon...
55:43when you are not protected by your title.
55:46Oh? When will that be?
55:49Alert me, Tiberias, when men are equal...
55:51and the kingdom of heaven has arrived.
55:53Those Templars have been hung for a raid that I know you commanded.
55:57Prove it.
56:00I will wait at Kerak until you do.
56:02The king will take your castle of Kerak, Reynald.
56:06Try to take it, Tiberias.
56:09I'll be there.
56:18I cannot protect your caravans unless you agree to be escorted by our soldiers.
56:23I trade to make money...
56:25not to offend God by associating with Christians.
56:28But you will take Christian gold. Gold is gold.
56:34Mmm. Of course.
56:39My lord Tiberias.
56:50My lord.
56:54It's true.
56:56You're your father's son.
56:58He was my friend.
57:01I am yours.
57:04Godfrey dead.
57:06It could have come at a better time. Come.
57:10It was shouted in the streets that you killed a great lord of Syria.
57:14Saladin himself sent word...
57:18that your fight did not breach the peace...
57:20that you had cause.
57:23What know you of Saladin?
57:26That he is king of the Saracens...
57:28and that he surrounds this kingdom.
57:31He has 200,000 men in Damascus alone.
57:34He could win a war if he goes to war...
57:37and he's daily given cause for war by fanatics newly from Europe...
57:42by Templar bastards like Reynald de Chatillon.
57:45Here, from this room, I keep the peace, so far as it can be kept.
57:49But Saladin and the king between them...
57:53would make a better world.
57:56If it lives only for a while, Tiberias, it still has lived.
58:00All right.
58:05What did your father tell you of your... obligations?
58:09That I was to be a good knight.
58:13I pray the world...
58:15and Jerusalem...
58:17can accommodate such a rarity...
58:22as a perfect knight.
58:28Have you dined?
58:37The Princess Sibylla of Jerusalem...
58:40and her husband, Guy de Lusignan.
58:53So, how many knights did you find in France?
58:56Fifty.
58:59They've sworn allegiance to the king?
59:01Of course, Tiberias.
59:03Obviously.
59:09You sit at my table?
59:12Is it not the king's table? Is it? I have not seen a king at it for some years.
59:18I cannot eat. I... I am finicky about company.
59:22In France this could not inherit.
59:26But here there are no civilized rules.
59:29I have business in the East.
59:33My wife does not lament my absences.
59:38That is either the best of wives...
59:41or the very, very worst.
59:45Do you go to meet Reynald? No, my lord. He is in disfavor.
59:48I am a member of this court.
59:51Why should I make league with that... troublemaker?
1:00:02To the very best of wives.
1:00:05God bless Jerusalem.
1:00:08My lord, the king will see him now.
1:00:11The king would see Godfrey's son.
1:00:13I'll take him.
1:00:17This morning I spoke without knowing who you were.
1:00:20I knew who you were. It's unmistakable.
1:00:24I loved your father...
1:00:26and I shall love you.
1:00:32Do you fear being with me?
1:00:34No.
1:00:37And yes.
1:00:42A woman in my place has two faces.
1:00:44One for the world...
1:00:47and one which she wears in private.
1:00:50With you I'll be only Sibylla.
1:00:58Tiberias thinks me unpredictable.
1:01:01I am unpredictable.
1:01:07No. There.
1:01:24Come forward. I am glad to meet Godfrey's son.
1:01:29He was one of my greatest teachers.
1:01:32He was there when, playing with the other boys, my arm was cut.
1:01:37And it was he, not my father's physicians, who noticed that I felt no pain.
1:01:43He wept when he gave my father the news...
1:01:47that I am a leper.
1:01:51The Saracens say that this disease...
1:01:54is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom.
1:01:58As wretched as I am...
1:02:00these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell...
1:02:04is far more severe and lasting.
1:02:08If that's true, I call it unfair.
1:02:13Come. Sit.
1:02:18Do you play? No.
1:02:20The whole world is in chess.
1:02:22Any move can be the death of you.
1:02:26Do anything except remain where you started...
1:02:29and you can't be sure of your end.
1:02:32Were you sure of your end once?
1:02:36I was. What was it?
1:02:41To be buried a hundred yards from where I was born.
1:02:44And now?
1:02:46Now I sit in Jerusalem and look upon a king.
1:02:54When I was 16 I won a great victory.
1:02:57I felt, in that moment, I would live to be 100.
1:03:02Now I know I shall not see 30.
1:03:06None of us know our end, really...
1:03:10or what hand will guide us there.
1:03:12A king may move a man.
1:03:16A father may claim a son.
1:03:18That man can also move himself.
1:03:21And only then does that man truly begin his own game.
1:03:27Remember, how so ever you are played...
1:03:29or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone...
1:03:33even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power.
1:03:37When you stand before God, you cannot say...
1:03:41"But I was told by others to do thus"...
1:03:44or that virtue was not convenient at the time.
1:03:48This will not suffice.
1:03:50Remember that.
1:03:54I will.
1:03:58You know what this is?
1:04:00A fortification. What do you think of it?
1:04:04You disapprove. Well, how would you improve it?
1:04:08A cross. Or better, a star, like this.
1:04:13That way no part of the fortress may be approached...
1:04:15without being exposed to fire from another part.
1:04:18Yes, I like this. Your walls are more difficult to address.
1:04:24Very good.
1:04:25You will go to your father's house at Ibelin, your house now...
1:04:30and then from there you will protect the pilgrim road.
1:04:34Safeguard in particular the Jews and the Muslims.
1:04:37All are welcome in Jerusalem.
1:04:40Not only because it's expedient, but because it is right.
1:04:45Protect the helpless.
1:04:47And then maybe one day, when I am helpless...
1:04:50you will come and protect me.
1:06:15There, my lord.
1:06:17Ibelin.
1:07:11Quod sumus...
1:07:14hoc eritis.
1:07:17Such as we are, you will be.
1:07:55Your father was important.
1:07:58His lands were not.
1:08:01That will suit me.
1:08:08My lord, you have a thousand acres...
1:08:11a hundred families.
1:08:14You have Christians, Jews, Muslims.
1:08:17You have 50 pairs of oxen.
1:08:19This is a poor and dusty place.
1:08:22What we do not have is water.
1:09:33Right. Stone the walls.
1:10:35I'm on my way to Cana.
1:10:41Where Jesus changed water to wine.
1:10:45But a better trick would be to change you to a nobleman.
1:10:48That should be easy. In France a few yards of silk can make a nobleman.
1:10:54I expect your hospitality.
1:10:56It is given.
1:10:58Latif.
1:12:47But this isn't adultery. It's washing.
1:12:55But if it were adultery...
1:12:57which it isn't...
1:12:59the Commandments are not for people like us.
1:13:02They are for the others.
1:13:05Did they give you something to eat?
1:13:08They said to wait until the master returned.
1:13:14My cook will prepare something while you wash.
1:13:41What?
1:13:43It seems years since I've seen a woman eat.
1:13:46Truly?
1:13:51I was watching you today.
1:13:54You've been given a patch of dirt, and it seems...
1:13:58you will build a new Jerusalem here.
1:14:01It is my land.
1:14:05Who would I be if I did not try to make it better?
1:14:24They try to be one...
1:14:27one heart...
1:14:29one morality.
1:14:31Their prophet says, "Submit."
1:14:34Jesus says...
1:14:37"Decide."
1:14:39Did you decide on Guy?
1:14:45Guy was chosen by my mother.
1:14:47My first husband died before our son was born.
1:14:50I was only 15.
1:14:55I've met your son.
1:16:39I could stay here forever.
1:16:41This house is yours.
1:16:44Why do you think I'm here?
1:16:58I know that Ibelin is not on the way to Cana.
1:17:01What else do you know, my lord?
1:17:03I know that you are a princess...
1:17:07and I am no lord.
1:17:09You're a knight.
1:17:10Neither earned nor proved.
1:17:19I'm not here with you because I'm... I'm bored or wicked.
1:17:25I'm here because...
1:17:28because in the East...
1:17:30between one person and another...
1:17:33there is only light.
1:18:48Halt!
1:18:53This caravan is armed, Reynald.
1:18:56Good. No sport otherwise.
1:18:59They've seen us.
1:19:01Go after them.
1:19:03A rider is getting away. It's a broad desert. Nothing'll come of it.
1:19:06I prefer not to be hanged before my wife is queen. Don't worry.
1:19:11"Who but Reynald?" they'll say.
1:19:13It's always me. They'll believe it in Jerusalem, I assure you.
1:19:16You were at Nazareth, praying. You're a dangerous man.
1:19:20If the war's to be now or later, I would have it now.
1:19:24How long can the leper last? God wills it. God wills it!
1:19:27God wills it! Jerusalem!
1:19:31Charge!
1:20:00It's you! Ha!
1:20:40This is from France.
1:20:43I've never been there.
1:20:45This from my brother.
1:20:47This to remind us of death.
1:20:49And this...
1:20:54I bought the day I saw you.
1:20:58You lie.
1:21:28Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon, with the Templars...
1:21:33have attacked a Saracen caravan.
1:21:35Liar!
1:21:38Silence!
1:21:40It was no caravan.
1:21:42It was an army headed for Bethlehem to desecrate the birthplace of our Lord!
1:21:46Reynald, with the Templars, have broken the king's pledge of peace.
1:21:50Saladin will come into this kingdom...
1:21:53Tiberias knows more than a Christian should about Saladin's intentions.
1:22:02That I would rather live with men than kill them...
1:22:07is certainly why you are alive.
1:22:10That sort of Christianity has its uses, I suppose.
1:22:13We must not go to war with Saladin!
1:22:17We do not want it, and we may not win it. Blasphemy!
1:22:21Blasphemy!
1:22:25An army of Jesus Christ, which bears his holy cross, cannot be beaten.
1:22:29Does the count of Tiberias suggest that it could be?
1:22:32There must be war. God wills it!
1:22:35God wills it! God wills it!
1:22:39God wills it!
1:22:41God wills it!
1:22:51Silence!
1:23:03Saladin has crossed the Jordan with 200,000 men.
1:23:08He will make first for Kerak and Reynald de Chatillon.
1:23:11My lord...
1:23:21We must meet him before he reaches Kerak.
1:23:24I will lead the army.
1:23:26My lord, if you travel, you'll die.
1:23:31Send word to Balian to protect the villagers.
1:23:37Assemble the army.
1:23:59What becomes of us?
1:24:02The world will decide.
1:24:06The world always decides.
1:24:28My lord! The king is marching on Kerak.
1:24:46Let's go! Hurry. Straight on!
1:24:55Saracen cavalry. They're coming to close Reynald in.
1:24:59These people are not safe outside the walls.
1:25:02Saladin will certainly come behind him.
1:25:17Go into the fortress now.
1:25:21Hyah! Hah!
1:25:33Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!
1:25:35Hyah! Hyah!
1:25:52Visitors!
1:26:05My lord Balian! My lord Balian!
1:26:10My lord Reynald prays you bring your force into Kerak.
1:26:13Thank you, but no. If we do, these people will die.
1:26:17We'll hold the Saracen cavalry until the king arrives.
1:26:21So be it. Hyah!
1:26:27We cannot attack that and live.
1:26:32My lady. What do you look at?
1:26:36A knight.
1:26:40His men.
1:26:49Are you with me?
1:27:49Forward!
1:27:59Divide!
1:30:05Your quality will be known among your enemies...
1:30:08before ever you meet them, my friend.
1:30:14You were not that man's servant.
1:30:17No. He was my servant.
1:30:30What becomes of us? As you deserve.
1:30:34You reap what you sow.
1:30:37You have heard of this, no?
1:30:41Get up.
1:30:56You may go into Kerak...
1:30:58but you will die there.
1:31:01My master is here.
1:31:24Tell my lord Saladin that Jerusalem has come.
1:32:29Saladin.
1:32:53I pray you'll pull back your cavalry and leave this matter to me.
1:32:58I pray you'll retire unharmed to Damascus.
1:33:02Reynald of Chatillon will be punished.
1:33:05I swear it.
1:33:07Withdraw, or we will all die here.
1:33:22Do we have terms?
1:33:29We have terms.
1:33:38I will send you my physicians.
1:33:43Salaam alaikum. Alaikum salaam.
1:34:07I am Reynald of Chatillon!
1:34:50On your knees.
1:34:55Lower.
1:35:00I... am Jerusalem.
1:35:06And you, Reynald...
1:35:09will give me the kiss of peace.
1:35:31Guard.
1:35:40What are you looking at? A dead man.
1:35:44Reynald de Chatillon, you are arrested...
1:35:47and condemned.
1:35:52Come.
1:36:06If you continue like this...
1:36:09I shall have to find a use for you.
1:36:11If God can spare you, that is.
1:36:13God does not know me.
1:36:16Yes, but I do.
1:36:41I need you in Jerusalem.
1:37:27Salaam alaikum. Alaikum salaam.
1:37:37Why did we retire?
1:37:40Why?
1:37:43God did not favor him. God, alone, determines the results of battles.
1:37:47The results of battles are determined by God...
1:37:51but also by preparation, numbers...
1:37:54the absence of disease and the availability of water.
1:37:58One cannot maintain a siege with the enemy behind.
1:38:02How many battles did God win for the Muslims before I came?
1:38:07That is, before God determined that I should come.
1:38:13Few enough.
1:38:17That's because we were sinful.
1:38:21It is because you were unprepared.
1:38:24If you think that way, you shall not be king for long.
1:38:33When I am not king, I quake for Islam.
1:38:39Thank you for your visit.
1:38:45Thank you for your visit.
1:38:53You promised.
1:38:55You promised to return Jerusalem.
1:39:00Don't forget.
1:39:17If I do not deliver war, I have no peace.
1:39:21The king of Jerusalem will die soon.
1:39:24When he is dead, the boy will become king of a kingdom he cannot control.
1:39:28The Christians will make the war you need.
1:40:31I am Reynald de Chatillon!
1:40:37I am Reynald de Chatillon!
1:40:43Reynald de Chatillon!
1:40:51Reynald de Chatillon!
1:40:54The things that we have left undone...
1:40:59plague us as death comes.
1:41:02That is why to the dying...
1:41:05There is no comfort but the Lord.
1:41:08Spare me your sermon.
1:41:11Go and prepare your people for the coronation of my nephew.
1:41:17Your confession, my lord.
1:41:20I shall confess to God when I see him...
1:41:26not to you.
1:41:29Now leave me.
1:42:17You sometimes dream you are my wife.
1:42:21Let's pretend you are.
1:43:01I must go.
1:43:08We can't meet in the city.
1:43:11Then we will leave it.
1:43:13And live how? Live where?
1:43:17Balian...
1:43:19my brother's dying.
1:43:23My son will be king and I his regent. I must rule for him.
1:43:28And not just in Jerusalem, but Acre...
1:43:32Ashkelon, Beirut.
1:43:37And Guy?
1:44:07Always surround your knights with your foot soldiers.
1:44:14These rooms are not yours.
1:44:19One day I will be the husband I was commissioned to be.
1:44:24And perhaps not, my dear.
1:44:27Your lover has a hundred knights and the love of the king.
1:44:31I, the largest force in the kingdom...
1:44:35and the support of the Templars.
1:44:38I can do without the king's affection.
1:44:41But as for your love...
1:44:53Then we must come to an understanding.
1:44:55You need my knights or his rule will be bloody and brief.
1:45:15So, my friend...
1:45:17the time has come to conclude my affairs.
1:45:21If I leave the army with Guy...
1:45:23he will take power through my sister and make war on the Muslims.
1:45:27We have decided that you shall take command of the army of Jerusalem.
1:45:32Will you defend my nephew when he's king?
1:45:37Whatever you ask. I will serve.
1:45:40No, hear it all before you answer.
1:45:45Would you marry my sister, Sibylla, were she free of Guy de Lusignan?
1:45:51And Guy?
1:45:53He will be executed...
1:45:57along with his knights who do not swear your allegiance.
1:46:04I cannot be the cause of that.
1:46:06"Whatever you ask. I will serve."
1:46:14"A king may move a man," you said...
1:46:19"but the soul belongs to the man."
1:46:23Yes, I did.
1:46:25You have my love...
1:46:28and my answer.
1:46:31Oh. So be it.
1:46:35Why do you protect Guy, hmm?
1:46:38He's a man who insults you, who hates you...
1:46:41who'd kill you himself if he had the chance.
1:46:44Fulfill the salvation of this kingdom.
1:46:47Would it be so hard...
1:46:49to marry Sibylla?
1:46:52Jerusalem has no need of a perfect knight.
1:46:57No. It is a kingdom of conscience...
1:47:01or nothing.
1:47:22Sibylla.
1:47:36Who are you to refuse a king?
1:47:39I will have power, without Guy or with him.
1:47:43Guy is indebted to your say-so and my brother's, but it's mine.
1:47:49Do you have any idea of Jerusalem except that it is yours?
1:47:53You will never hold it in peace as your brother did.
1:47:57It will be war.
1:47:58My grandfather took Jerusalem in blood.
1:48:02I'll keep it the same way or any way I can.
1:48:06I am what I am.
1:48:08I offer you that...
1:48:11and the world.
1:48:20You say no.
1:48:24Do you think I'm like Guy?
1:48:26That I would sell my soul?
1:48:36There'll be a day...
1:48:38when you will wish you had done a little evil...
1:48:41to do a greater good.
1:48:50Reynald.
1:49:00My lord.
1:49:38Mmm.
1:49:42Do you really think the king wants you head of the army once he's gone? Hmm?
1:49:49Think your wife does?
1:49:57I have a problem. Ah, yes. Balian.
1:50:02I saw him at Kerak.
1:50:05Celebrated.
1:50:08You must beware a popular man.
1:50:12Kill him.
1:50:21What's that? England.
1:50:23The king? Richard. And his father was Henry.
1:50:27Good. And that? France.
1:50:30Will I ever see France?
1:50:32Maybe one day. But you must be king here.
1:50:36How many islands can you see here?
1:50:40One, two... The king will see you.
1:50:43No, I can't. I can't bear to look at him. Use this.
1:50:49It doesn't mean I don't love him.
1:50:52Go, madam.
1:52:31Oh. Hello.
1:52:38I was dreaming...
1:52:40I was back in that summer...
1:52:44when I defeated Saladin.
1:52:46Do you remember it?
1:52:49I was only 16.
1:52:53You were a beautiful boy.
1:52:55Yes. You have always been beautiful.
1:53:00In every way.
1:53:05My beautiful sister. I've missed you.
1:53:10So beautiful.
1:53:14I'm sorry if I've caused you any pain.
1:53:20Remember me as I was.
1:53:25I will.
1:54:18Sibylla.
1:54:34If my son has your knights...
1:54:40you have your wife.
1:56:05Behold your rightful king and heir...
1:56:08to the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem.
1:56:11Yes! Yes! Yes!
1:56:15Long live the king in prosperity.
1:56:17Long live the king. Long live the king.
1:56:22Long live the king.
1:56:38One may stare into the light until one becomes the light.
1:56:42I've done it many times.
1:56:51There's your religion.
1:56:53One spark, a creosote bush.
1:56:59There's your Moses. I did not hear it speak.
1:57:04That does not mean that there is no God.
1:57:07Do you love her?
1:57:10Yes. The heart will mend.
1:57:13Your duty is to the people of the city.
1:57:17I go to pray. For what?
1:57:22For the strength to endure what is to come.
1:57:26And what is to come?
1:57:28The reckoning is to come for what was done 100 years before.
1:57:32The Muslims will never forget.
1:57:39Nor should they.
1:58:12My lady, your letter to Saladin.
1:58:15Peace to be sustained, borders respected, trade allowed to continue.
1:58:20Is this wise to show your intentions?
1:58:24Better, surely, to let him wonder.
1:58:27We keep my brother's peace.
1:58:29Sign it.
1:58:42Take the seal.
1:58:46Be careful. Be careful.
1:59:00Put it back, my darling.
1:59:16Hey!
1:59:49There is a rumor.
1:59:52We must condemn it immediately.
1:59:55Call it treason, and kill those who whisper it.
2:00:00The rumor will die if we show the boy as active.
2:00:06How long before he wears a mask?
2:00:12Will you have one made for him?
2:00:15How did my boy deserve it?
2:00:24Jerusalem is dead, Tiberias.
2:00:29No kingdom is worth my son alive in hell.
2:00:34I will go to hell instead.
2:01:00Do you remember the story of Llewellyn? No.
2:01:03Well, do you remember why? No.
2:01:08He was so lonely...
2:01:10and he called all the gods.
2:01:14Why? Because he was desperate. It was a proof of love.
2:03:02Is this why you came to the Holy Land?
2:03:05Come on!
2:03:30Leave us.
2:03:37The boy's in heaven? Yes.
2:03:40His mother has more backbone than I do.
2:03:44She's in the crypt and will not come out.
2:03:51Have the Templars killed Balian? Yes.
2:03:56Reynald...
2:03:58give me a war.
2:04:02That is what I do.
2:04:06Behold your rightful queen and heir...
2:04:09to the throne of the kingdom of Jerusalem.
2:04:11Yes! Yes! Yes!
2:04:14I, Sibylla, by the grace of the Holy Spirit...
2:04:17choose as king Guy de Lusignan...
2:04:21the man who's been my husband.
2:04:24With the help of God, he will rule his people well.
2:04:30Long live the king in prosperity.
2:04:34Long live the king. Long live the king.
2:04:38Long live the king.
2:05:02I am what I am.
2:05:06Someone has to be.
2:05:32Saladin's sister.
2:05:36I know.
2:05:54Saladin achki.
2:05:57I know.
2:06:22Salaam alaikum. Alaikum salaam.
2:06:26Speak.
2:06:33The sultan demands the return of his sister's body...
2:06:36the heads of those responsible...
2:06:38and the surrender of Jerusalem.
2:06:45Does he?
2:06:49What answer do you return to Saladin?
2:07:02This.
2:07:20Take the head to Damascus.
2:07:31I am Jerusalem.
2:07:37Assemble the army! Yea!
2:08:03Now this assembly of barons...
2:08:06and all Jerusalem is complete.
2:08:09There are those among you who may disagree with our succession...
2:08:14but it is war.
2:08:16Aye!
2:08:19And I am...
2:08:22the king.
2:08:25We march at once. What say this council?
2:08:28Aye! No.
2:08:32If you must have war, this army cannot move away from water.
2:08:39You have a chance to hold the city...
2:08:42but if you move out against Saladin...
2:08:45this army will be destroyed and the city left defenseless.
2:08:48When I wish a blacksmith to advise me in war...
2:08:52I will tell him.
2:08:55Saladin wants you to come out.
2:08:59He is waiting for you to make that mistake.
2:09:03He knows his man.
2:09:05We should meet the enemies of God. Aye!
2:09:08And so we shall.
2:09:10Then you do so without my knights.
2:09:14Then I will have the glory, Tiberias. You had yours years and years ago.
2:09:19It's time for mine.
2:09:27Forward!
2:09:33Forward!
2:09:50Tiberias.
2:09:53When Saladin has finished with Guy, he will come.
2:09:58We must look to the defenses.
2:10:00The boy's dead.
2:10:07Guy. No.
2:10:10The boy was leprous like his uncle.
2:10:12She gave him peace.
2:10:15She let him go...
2:10:20and Jerusalem along with him.
2:10:27Keep to your lines!
2:10:30You go with the army?
2:10:32My order is with the army.
2:10:34You go to certain death.
2:10:37All death is certain.
2:10:39I shall tell your father what I've seen you become.
2:11:24When Saladin comes...
2:11:28we're not defensible.
2:11:33Save the people from what I have done.
2:11:36I will.
2:12:41God wills it.
2:13:12Can you sense it?
2:13:15There has been no messenger.
2:14:39I drink water for what it is.
2:14:46I did not give the cup to you.
2:14:48No, my lord.
2:16:01A king does not kill a king.
2:16:04Were you not close enough to a great king...
2:16:06to learn by his example?
2:16:46I've given Jerusalem my whole life.
2:16:49Everything.
2:16:54First I thought we... were fighting for God.
2:16:59Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land.
2:17:04I was ashamed.
2:17:14Tiberias.
2:17:16There is no more Jerusalem.
2:17:21I shall go to Cyprus. Will you come with me?
2:17:25No.
2:17:28You are your father's son.
2:17:32Saladin must move his army from water to water.
2:17:36That gives you four days, maybe five.
2:17:42God be with you.
2:17:44He's no longer with me.
2:18:40Mark 400. Four hundred!
2:18:43Four hundred!
2:19:01They're here.
2:19:03It is only one man.
2:19:09No. They're here.
2:19:31This is the only section of the wall that they can attack...
2:19:35once they begin to bombard the walls.
2:19:38They will stop only to avoid hitting their own siege towers as they come in.
2:19:41We take the bombardment.
2:19:44When they cease firing, we fire.
2:19:50We must leave the city.
2:19:53How exactly, my lord bishop?
2:19:55The fastest horses from a lesser gate.
2:19:58And the people?
2:20:00It is unfortunate about the people, but it is God's will.
2:20:12Silence!
2:20:17Silence!
2:20:23It has fallen to us...
2:20:25to defend Jerusalem...
2:20:28and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made.
2:20:33None of us took this city from Muslims.
2:20:38No Muslim, of the great army now coming against us...
2:20:42was born when this city was lost.
2:20:47We fight over an offense we did not give...
2:20:52against those who were not alive to be offended.
2:20:57What is Jerusalem?
2:21:00Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple...
2:21:03that the Romans pulled down.
2:21:06The Muslim places of worship lie over yours.
2:21:11Which is more holy?
2:21:16The wall? The mosque?
2:21:20The sepulcher?
2:21:22Who has claim?
2:21:24No one has claim.
2:21:28All have claim!
2:21:30That is blasphemy. Be quiet.
2:21:32We defend this city...
2:21:34not to protect these stones...
2:21:37but the people living within these walls.
2:22:03My lord. My lord, my lord.
2:22:06How are we to defend Jerusalem without knights?
2:22:11We have no knights! Truly?
2:22:23What is your condition? I'm servant to the patriarch.
2:22:27He's, uh, one of my servants.
2:22:30Is he? You were born a servant?
2:22:33Kneel.
2:22:40Every man at arms...
2:22:43or capable of bearing them...
2:22:45kneel!
2:22:51On your knees!
2:22:59Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
2:23:04Be brave and upright that God may love thee.
2:23:09Speak the truth even if it leads to your death.
2:23:16Safeguard the helpless.
2:23:18That is your oath.
2:23:25And that is so you remember it.
2:23:27Rise a knight.
2:23:31Rise a knight!
2:23:39Master Gravedigger. It is you.
2:23:43Not what I was. Nor are you.
2:23:46Rise a knight.
2:23:51Who do you think you are? Will you alter the world?
2:23:55Does making a man a knight make him a better fighter?
2:24:06Yes.
2:24:43Almaric...
2:24:47if you survive, Ibelin is yours.
2:24:54You are master of Ibelin.
2:25:02I confirm it.
2:25:06Rise a knight and baron of Ibelin.
2:25:12But it is a poor and dusty place.
2:25:28My lord? No.
2:25:41When will it begin?
2:25:47Soon.
2:26:20Get them to the walls!
2:26:23Water! Bring water!
2:26:28Get to the walls.
2:26:33Push!
2:26:37Run! Push!
2:26:57Why do they not fire back?
2:27:00They wait.
2:28:28That was only the first day. There may be a hundred more.
2:28:33Saladin will show no mercy.
2:28:40We must hold out...
2:28:42force him to offer terms.
2:28:45What terms?
2:28:46We fight for the people... their safety and freedom.
2:29:45Mercy. No.
2:29:47I cannot.
2:30:37Four hundred! Four hundred!
2:30:41Four hundred! Fire! Fire!
2:31:13Three hundred! Three hundred!
2:31:15Fire! Fire!
2:31:17Fire!
2:31:28One-fifty! One-fifty!
2:31:31Line up! Fire!
2:32:06Hold your fire! Hold!
2:32:17Fire!
2:32:20Fire!
2:32:57Oil! Now!
2:33:04Fire!
2:33:25Who defends?
2:33:28Balian of Ibelin, the son of Godfrey. Godfrey.
2:33:32Godfrey nearly killed me in the Lebanon.
2:33:35Truly, I did not know he had a son.
2:33:39It was his son at Kerak.
2:33:45The one you let live. Yes.
2:33:48Perhaps you should not have.
2:33:51Perhaps I should have had a different teacher.
2:36:13Fire!
2:36:19Fire!
2:36:22Fire!
2:36:25Fire!
2:36:28Now!
2:37:29You are not a sister. We are what we do.
2:37:35Then I'm a man who's traveled a long way to die for nothing.
2:37:40What would you say to that?
2:37:47I- I would say that I'm sorry.
2:37:49And I'm sorry for you...
2:37:53Queen of Jerusalem.
2:38:46When a body is burnt...
2:38:48it cannot be resurrected until Judgment Day.
2:38:52If we do not burn these bodies...
2:38:54we will all be dead of disease in three days.
2:38:58God will understand, my lord.
2:39:01And if he doesn't...
2:39:03then he is not God, and we need not worry.
2:39:21Salaam alaikum. Alaikum salaam.
2:39:24The wall, where the Christopher Gate used to be, has been weakened.
2:39:28Usually when a gate is blocked in, it is weaker than the wall around it.
2:39:31Or stronger. It is weaker. Rashid has seen it.
2:39:35This will be our door into Jerusalem.
2:39:48This is where we will make our stand.
2:39:52We must prepare.
2:39:57Brothers! Brothers!
2:40:00God has sent you this day!
2:40:03You will take no prisoners!
2:40:05As they did, so shall it be done!
2:40:08Allah hu akbar! Allah hu akbar!
2:40:49When this wall comes down...
2:40:54there will be no quarter.
2:40:57If you throw down your arms...
2:41:00your families will die.
2:41:06We can break this army here.
2:41:13So I say let them come!
2:41:17Let them come!
2:41:20Come on! Come on!
2:41:23Come on!
2:45:01Remember me in France, Master Gravedigger.
2:45:06My lord!
2:45:40They will ask for terms.
2:45:43They must ask for terms.
2:45:46Convert to Islam. Repent later.
2:45:52You've taught me a lot about religion, Your Eminence.
2:46:18Will you yield the city?
2:46:25Before I lose it, I will burn it to the ground.
2:46:29Your holy places, ours.
2:46:31Every last thing in Jerusalem that drives men mad.
2:46:36I wonder if it would not be better if you did.
2:46:40You will destroy it? Every stone.
2:46:43And every Christian knight you kill will take 10 Saracens with him.
2:46:47You will destroy your army here and never raise another.
2:46:49I swear to God that to take this city will be the end of you.
2:46:59Your city is full of women and children.
2:47:01If my army will die...
2:47:04so will your city.
2:47:11You offer terms. I ask none.
2:47:18I will give every soul safe conduct to Christian lands.
2:47:22Every soul...
2:47:25the women, the children, the old...
2:47:28and all your knights and soldiers, and your queen.
2:47:33Your king, such as he is...
2:47:36I leave to you...
2:47:38and what God will make of him.
2:47:41No one will be harmed.
2:47:43I swear to God.
2:47:45The Christians butchered every Muslim within the walls when they took this city.
2:47:50I am not those men.
2:47:53I am Saladin.
2:47:55Saladin.
2:48:08Then under these terms, I surrender Jerusalem.
2:48:14Salaam alaikum.
2:48:16And peace be with you.
2:48:23What is Jerusalem worth?
2:48:27Nothing.
2:48:35Everything.
2:49:17I have surrendered Jerusalem.
2:49:20All will be safely escorted to the sea.
2:49:26If this is the kingdom of heaven...
2:49:33let God do with it as he wills.
2:49:47Balian!
2:49:51Balian!
2:49:53Yes! Thanks to the Lord!
2:50:10Your brother's kingdom was here... and here.
2:50:16That kingdom can never be surrendered.
2:50:26What should I do?
2:50:30I'm still the queen of Acre, Ashkelon, Tripoli.
2:50:36Decide not to be a queen...
2:50:38and I will come to you.
2:51:10The perfect knight.
2:51:13Is that what you think you are, is it?
2:51:30We are all of us what we do.
2:52:42Do it.
2:52:49When you rise again...
2:52:51if you rise...
2:52:55rise a knight.
2:54:11This horse...
2:54:16is not a very good horse.
2:54:18I will not keep it.
2:54:22Thank you.
2:54:26And if God does not love you...
2:54:29how could you have done all the things that you have done?
2:54:34Peace be upon you.
2:54:38Alaikum salaam.
2:56:51A queen never walks.
2:57:00And yet you are walking.
2:58:21Forward!
2:58:25Forward!
2:58:32Halt!
2:58:37We crusade to recover the kingdom of Jerusalem.
2:58:45You go to where the men speak Italian...
2:58:48and then continue until they speak something else.
2:58:59We've come by this road to find Balian...
2:59:02who was defender of Jerusalem.
2:59:06I am the blacksmith.
2:59:10And I am the king of England.
2:59:13I am the blacksmith.
2:59:19Formation! Forward!
