Kingdom Of Heaven Page #6

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!

- 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.

- My lord?

- No.

When will it begin?

Soon.

Get them to the walls!

Bring water!

Get to the walls.

Push!

- Run!

- Push!

Why do they not fire back?

- They wait.

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.

- Mercy.

- No.

I cannot.

- Four hundred!

- Four hundred!

- Four hundred!

- Fire! Fire!

- Three hundred!

- Three hundred!

- Fire!

- Fire!

Fire!

- One-fifty!

- One-fifty!

Line up!

Fire!

Hold your fire!

Hold!

Fire!

Fire!

Oil! Now!

Fire!

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.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Now!

- You are not a sister.

- We are what we do.

Then I'm a man who's traveled

a long way to die for nothing.

What would you say to that?

I, I would say that I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry for you...

Queen of Jerusalem.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

- Balian!

Balian!

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.

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...

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.

- 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'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.

Formation! Forward!
