Kingdom Of Heaven Page #2

Synopsis: It is the time of the Crusades during the Middle Ages - the world shaping 200-year collision between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has lost his family and nearly his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that moment--between the Second and Third Crusades--a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military restrai

and pain erased.

All.

If you take the Crusade...

you may relieve

your wife's position in hell.

I, I put it delicately.

She was a suicide. She is in hell.

Though what she does there

without a head.

Wait here.

Have you come to kill me?

Even these days,

it is not easy.

Well?

I have done...

murder.

Haven't we all?

Is it true...

that in Jerusalem

I can erase my sins...

and those of my wife?

Is it true?

We can find out together.

Show me your hand.

Hey!

- Pick it up. Let's see what you're made of.

- His hand is hurt, my lord.

- I once fought two days with

an arrow through my testicle.

- Ah, yes.

Never use a low guard.

You fight well.

Let's work on your skills.

Take a high guard, like this.

The Italians call it la poste di falcone;

the guard of the hawk.

Strike from high, like this.

Do it.

Sword straighter.

Come on.

Leg back, bend your knees.

Sword straighter.

Defend yourself.

The blade isn't

the only part of a sword.

Attack.

I have your leave?

Pay attention.

What's this?

- Uncle.

- Nephew.

You have with you a man, Balian,

who killed a priest, his brother.

I'm charged by both my father

and the lord bishop to bring him back.

What he says is true.

They have the right to take me.

I say he is innocent of the charge.

If you say he's guilty, then we'll fight,

and God will decide the truth of it.

My German friend

is a close student of the law.

Just give him to me.

I'll fight you for something else.

Uncle, he's a murderer.

So am I.

Whoever dies here today,

you will certainly be among them.

You are my uncle.

I must give you the road.

Heinrich!

To the flanks!

- Come on!

Thank my brother for his love!

I am the son of Roger...

Take your helmet off

while addressing me.

I'm am the son

of Roger de Cormiere.

I am accorded

the privilege of ransom.

This is true.

Ah. Well, you broke the arrow.

If the ribs are broken,

some marrow may enter the blood...

in which case

you'll take a fever and die.

Or a cyst will form...

and you'll live.

You're in the hands of God.

Get me some more wine.

It was not...

that they had no right

to take you.

It was the way they asked.

They had the right to take me.

So do I.

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,

is not murder.

It is the path to heaven.

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,

is not murder.

It is the path to heaven.

- Godfrey.

To kill an infidel, the pope has said,

is not murder.

It is the path to heaven.

- Where do you go?

- To Jerusalem, brother.

- By which road?

- Someone knows.

God knows.

When shall we stop

this madness?

It will soon be beyond

my concern.

Who is this?

My son.

Would I have fought you when you

were still capable of making bastards.
