Kingdom Of Heaven Page #4

- God wills it. God wills it!

- God wills it!

-Jerusalem!

Charge!

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 put the day I saw you.

You lie.

Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon,

with the Templars...

have attacked a Saracen caravan.

- Liar!

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.

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!

Blasphemy!

An army of Jesus Christ, which bears

his holy cross, cannot be beaten.

Does the count of Tiberias

suggest that it could be?

There must be war.

God wills it!

- God wills it!

- God wills it!

- 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.

What becomes of us?

The world will decide.

The world always decides.

My lord!

The king is marching on Kerak.

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.

Go into the fortress now.

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.

We cannot attack that and live.

- My lady.

- What do you look at?

A knight.

His men.

Are you with me?

Forward!

Divide!

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.

Saladin.

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.

I will send you my physicians.

-Salaam alaikum.

-Alaikum salaam.

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.

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.

I need you in Jerusalem.

- 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.

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 de Chatillon!

I am Reynald de Chatillon!

Reynald de Chatillon!

Reynald de Chatillon!

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.

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.

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 Acre...

Ashkelon, Beirut.

And Guy?

Always surround your knights

with your 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 a hundred 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 through my sister

and make war on the Muslims.

We have decided that you shall take

command of the army of Jerusalem.

Will you defend my nephew

when 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.

Oh. So be it.

Why do you protect Guy?

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 will have power,

without Guy or with him.

Guy is indebted to your say,

so and my brother's, but it's 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.

- Reynald.

My lord.
