Kingdom Of Heaven Page #3

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

I knew your mother

when she was making hers.

Fortunately, you're too old

to be one of mine.

All will be settled.

Do you know...

what lies in the Holy Land?

A new world.

A man who, in France,

had not a house...

is, in the Holy Land,

the master of a city.

He who was the master of a city

begs in the gutter.

There, at the end of the world...

you are not

what you were born...

but what you have it

in yourself to be.

I hope to find forgiveness.

That's all I know.

Whatever your position,

you are of my house...

and that means you will serve

the king of Jerusalem.

What could a king ask

of a man like me?

A better world

than has ever been seen.

A kingdom of conscience.

A kingdom of heaven.

There is peace between

Christian and Muslim.

We live together.

Or, between Saladin

and the king, we try.

Did you think that lay

at the end of Crusade?

It does.

My son,you are all

that survives me.

Do not disappoint me.

When we took the Holy Land,

we took the Saracen trading ports.

Italian ships carry silks and spices

and pilgrims, if they have money.

And Italy becomes rich

as the Savior intended.

Who are those men?

Muslims.

Saracens.

And they're allowed

their prayers?

- If they pay the tax.

Subhena Rabi Alladin.

Praise be to God.

It is proper to praise him.

Sounds like our prayers.

It's good.

When the king is dead...

Jerusalem will be no place

for friends of Muslims...

or traitors to Christendom...

like your father.

I am Guy de Lusignan.

Remember that name.

And me.

- Keep it.

- My lord.

How will you ride if you have

no stick to beat the horse?

He will be king

in Jerusalem one day.

Holy mother of God, pray for us...

now and at the hour

of our death.

Balian.

Hurry.

I can go no further.

Get on your knees.

Be without fear in

the face of your enemies.

Be brave and upright

that God may love thee.

Speak the truth always,

even if it leads to your death.

Safeguard the helpless

and do no wrong.

That is your oath.

And that's so you remember it.

Arise a knight and baron of Ibelin.

Defend the king.

If, if the king is no more...

protect the people.

It is time now, my lord, to confess

to holy God, not your son.

Are you sorry for all your sins?

For all but one.

You sail now for Jerusalem, as your father

wished. I'll follow within the week.

Now the voyage is perilous.

If God has purpose for you there,

he'll keep you safe in his hands.

If not...

God bless you.

He says that is his horse.

Why would it be his horse?

Because it is on his land!

I took this horse

from the sea.

He says you are a great liar...

and he will fight you

because you are a liar.

I have no desire to fight.
