- Captain.

- Dance with me forever!

- With both of you.

On to the square!

That's where the fun is!

There's no square here.

Kars, the street's blocked.

- It's a dead end.

- Let's go back.

Go on back!

Everyone, turn around.

It's blocked!

Martin, there!

Throw down your arms, and all your loot.

Come on down, Hawkwood,

and have some wine with us.

- Come on, Captain, join the party.

- Party is over.

What're you trying to pull, Captain?

Arnolfini promised

the loot was gonna be ours.

He changed his mind.

He has decided

to keep it for himself, Martin.

Get to the side!

The next one will hit you.

- Traitor!

- Come on.

Come on, Mum!

Look out!

Celine, give me your hand.

Now throw down your arms, and your loot.

What are you going to do to them?

They will be driven far away,

and dispersed.

A couple of them will be hanged

to set an example.

And you...

- Are you all right?

- ...will be rid of them.

A rotten trick, Father.

Excellent job, Captain. Your pay.

And here's a little bonus:

a quiet country house...

where your little nun can be cured.

Push.

Push. It's coming. Push.

Christ, it hurts!

I don't hear anything.

Why don't I hear anything?

It's the bloody cold and the wet.

Enough to kill a man,

let alone a poor little mite like this.

We'll bury the child.

Help me dig a grave.

Lie down.

Who does he look like?

Me.

I knew it.

You won't let them put him in the mud,

will you?

We'll fix up a nice little box.

Summer, help, I'm stuck.

- There's something here.

- So what have you got here?

I think you found something, Cardinal.

It's a saint.

Everybody, the Cardinal's found a saint!

Look at that. It's a saint.

A saint?

With a sword?

Saint Martin is the only saint

with a sword.

He used it to cut his cloak in half

and share with a naked beggar.

- There are the beggar's hands.

- It looks more like a lump of sh*t.

Saint Martin is my patron saint.

I was named after him.

I see the hand of God!

I see a dead child

being received into the Earth...

and a living statue rising from it.

I see Saint Martin

sharing his cloak with a beggar...

and I see soldier Martin...

getting richer all the time.

And all that he gets...

he will share with us.

So what's he got?

Not a damn thing.

Even his booze is gone.

One day he will be rich.

God will see to that.

This statue is a sign

that he will share his fortune with us.

What do you say, Martin?

The Cardinal's right. It's a sign...

from God.

Horseshit!

This has nothing to do with God!

It's just an ugly statue

of some stupid idiot...

they stuck into the ground.

Jesus Christ!

Why the hell did you do that?

He had no faith. He wasn't one of us.

And anyone who isn't with us
