Kingdom Of Heaven Page #4

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

Then you must

give him the horse.

No.

Fight me fairly!

- Why? Why should he?

- He is a knight.

- And I am the baron of Ibelin.

He says the baron of Ibelin is old.

He knew him at Damascus.

I am the new one.

That's enough.

Stop!

Ibelin, that's enough!

Ibelin, no!

You have taken it very well

that I have killed your master.

It was the end of his time.

All is as God wills it.

Now finish this.

Take me to Jerusalem.

Very good horse.

Take the horse...

and be about your business.

This is your prize of battle.

I am your prisoner,

your slave, should you wish it.

I have been a slave,

or very near to one.

I will never keep one,

nor suffer any to be kept.

Go.

The man you killed was a very great

cavalier among the Muslims.

His name was Mummad al Fais.

I will pray for him.

Your quality will be known

among your enemies...

before ever you meet them,

my friend.

Old man, where is it

that Christ was crucified?

Salaam alaikum.

God, what is it you want of me?

How can you be in hell

when you're in my heart?

- You must have known him.

- What?

Since you carry Godfrey's sword,

you must have known him.

I did.

A man my size?

Yes.

And green eyes.

Blue.

Come with us...

my lord.

No. Give me the towel.

- Give me the towel. Give me the towel.

A man who, in France, had not a house...

is, in the Holy Land,

the master of a city.

- Stop.

You're hurting him.

Where's your master?

I have none.

Give me some water.

Thank you for the drink.

If you happen to see Balian,

the son of Godfrey...

tell him that Sibylla called.

So, how find you Jerusalem?

God does not speak to me.

Not even on the hill...

where Christ died.

I am outside God's grace.

I have not heard that.

At any rate, it seems...

I have lost my religion.

I put no stock in religion.

By the word "religion."

I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every

denomination be called the will of God.

I've seen too much religion

in the eyes of too many murderers.

Holiness...

is in right action...

and courage on behalf of those

who cannot defend themselves.

And goodness...

what God desires...

is here and here.

By what you decide to do every day,

you will be a good man.

Or not.

Come.

The king has made a peace

with Saladin these past six years.

He holds Jerusalem as a place

for prayer for all faiths...

as the Muslims did before we came.

These men are Templars.

They killed Arabs.

So they are dying...

for what the pope

would command them to do.

Yes. But not Christ, I think.

Nor this king.

Who says I raid?

That witness...

all of Jerusalem...

holy God and me.

That witness, if you call him that,

is a Saracen. He lies.

There will come a day,
