In his rude hall in his rude castle (as KNIGHTS drink to
GODFREY), he laughs and toasts, and murmurs to his SON
(Godfrey’s nephew, who leans towards him):
GODFREY’S BROTHER (CONT’D)
(sotto voce)
With no heir it comes to me and
thus to you.
GODFREY’S NEPHEW
(a sadistic fop, a raper
of goose-girls)
Then I thank my stars for my uncle.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
(3)GODFREY’S POV
We see the lights of the village. Perhaps even at this
distance we can see the glow of the forge. SNOW is falling.
SNOW blows into the room. Godfrey, cold, reflective, coughing
slightly, drops the drapery.
BALIAN sits up in his wifeless bed in the darkened loft.
Breaks ice in a stone bowl. Throws water into his face. Goes
on into the main living area. A rope still hangs from a
rafter. Balian cuts it down. A CRADLE, finely made, stands in
the middle of the room. Balian puts it in the fire. A boy
(Balian’s APPRENTICE) stares at his master.
BALIAN:
We shall go to work.
EXT/INT. BALIAN’S FORGE. LATER THAT MORNING
Smoke rises. An ANGLE-IRON plunged to cool in a barrel of
water. Then thrown with a clang with others on a heap.
BALIAN emerges from the forge, and throws ironwork (angle
irons, simple braces, presumably for building the church)
into a cart. He looks up (startled) and sees: GODFREY’S
SQUIRE, sitting a palfrey.
SQUIRE:
YOu are the blacksmith?
(BALIAN nods)
Balian the eldest son of the Balian
that was?
BALIAN nods.
SQUIRE (CONT’D)
(as he turns his horse)
Remain.
The SQUIRE, after another strange, direct look at Balian,
rides off.
INT. BALIAN’S FORGE. LATER
BALIAN is eating coarse brown bread, and staring at the
APPRENTICE. The two eat together silently. On SOUND we hear
horses.
12.
EXT. THE YARD. CONTINUOUS
BALIAN walks out into the light. The entire party stares at
him. The Knights, the English Sergeant, FIRUZ, the two
Crossbowmen, and Godfrey.
PRIEST:
(pointing)
That is the man.
ODO, riding, ducking low in the saddle, peers into the forge
as if (characteristically) looking for stealables.
ODO:
You are an armorer. An artificer.
According to your lord, and this
priest. Have you a woman here?
The PRIEST kicks at his small donkey, riding around the yard.
PRIEST:
There is no wife. Yet the matter of
women does dangle about the place.
HOSPITALER:
(dismounting)
You have my sympathy and blessing
and your wife’s soul is today the
object of my prayers.
BALIAN bows his head. GODFREY watches through the snow.
HOSPITALER (CONT’D)
We need the horses shod. All. And
by asking about a woman he means
that we need food and will pay.
