- Are you recovered?
- Yes, yes.
And much beholden to you
for your kindness, sire.
Yet there is one question I would ask.
- What is it?
- I heard the jester call you "lvanhoe."
But lvanhoe is Cedric's son,
Who are you, then?
I am King Richard's envoy.
Does that make us friends or foes?
It does not make you my foe, sire...
...but then, I am allowed no king.
- Why not?
- Because I am allowed no country.
I am deeply in your debt, sire.
Tell me how I can repay you.
I seek 150,000 marks of silver...
...the price of Richard's ransom
from Leopold of Austria.
Glance around you, sire.
What you see is all we've saved...
...from every home we tried to make.
A toy or two from every land
that cast us out.
I am not a rich man, Sir lvanhoe.
No, but you are the patriarch
of your tribe.
Tell your people Richard must be ransomed.
They will find the wealth.
I see you love Richard, sire...
...but he was no friend to my people.
Our synagogues were looted
to send him on his crusades.
Do you prefer the persecution
of his brother, John?
There is little to choose between Black John
and Richard, yea and nay, if you are a Jew.
Then I pledge you this, Isaac.
You're a race without a home or a country.
Deliver Richard, and he will deliver
your people from persecution.
My friend, you ask for more
than we can give.
- And you offer more than Richard can give.
- Do you doubt my word?
Write down whatever terms you want.
I shall sign them in King Richard's name.
We shall need no pledge on paper,
you and I.
Let Richard promise this instead.
Let him promise justice to each man...
...whether he be Saxon
or Norman or Jew...
...for justice belongs to all men...
...or it belongs to none.
But that is a Christian teaching.
Strange as it may be, sire,
we are taught it too.
What you ask shall be done.
So be it, then. Whatever money
you cannot find among your own people...
...I shall try to find it for you.
Does that fulfill our pact?
Not quite.
This combat at arms at Ashby
is a weather vane...
...to test the strength of John.
If his knights were to sweep the field,
how would it go with Richard's cause?
Badly, sire. Money takes fright
My worldly goods are what I stand in.
I have no armor and no warhorse.
But I must ride against John's knights
at Ashby, or they will win.
from the ransom.
Then I'll seek them elsewhere.
You'll find me at the sign
of the longbow.
Here is my hand,
Why do you look at me thus, Isaac?
This is the first time I touch a Saxon hand
in friendship, Sir lvanhoe.
It is Richard's hand you touch.
