the only pleasure left for you is death
and death is very far away.
♪♪
Such a prize as you is worth rewarding these men for your recapture.
Would you not agree?
I have spent time and trouble on you.
Now you cost me gold as well.
I'm not afraid of you.
No, yet you run away. Is that not fear?
Fear has nothing to do with contempt or disgust.
You are not here to like others like me.
Such liberties are over for you.
Look at these coins.
Mere pieces of metal.
No interest. You should have.
These coins are going to change your laughter into tears.
Your joy to misery.
Oh, God!
Leave that altar, you fool!
The gold is mine!
You dogs! Do you hear me? Alert the palace!
Do you hear me? Alert the palace!
What do you want in here?
Are you both drunk or mad?
I'll have your hands and feet for this.
No man steps into this room but me.
You find her or your death will be slow.
A prisoner has escaped.
No one has stepped in here, my lord.
No man would dare except your guards just now.
The prisoner is a woman and I want her found.
We have seen no one.
Look.
A ruby ring.
For anyone who should see her.
And report it to me.
Rasper, run to the doors and let your ears warn us.
We will hide you here. We all hate him.
Thank you.
You will be safe. No one here will betray you.
You want a little drink of water?
Take me to Lydda. I will give you money.
I will fetch the money. You will tell me where I can find it.
I will not tell you anything until you undo these ropes.
It is a predicament. You are a rich lord. I can see from the things you wear.
But you will not share your wealth with poor, poor Ibrahim.
I am not rich, I keep telling you.
Let me to Lydda and you will be rewarded.
I am cursed with the affliction of disbelief.
But I have another little scheme.
A little pot of honey made from ponder dates.
And very, very sweet.
There my lord. A little bit on your wrist and a little bit on your chest.
Now over there in the hungry homes full of ants that go wild for dates honey.
We must be generous to them.
Lay a little trail across the sand like this.
And I will sit in the shade of the trees and dream of all the treasures I will get when the ants discover him.
If you cram your neck around my lord, you will soon see what it takes to be a black line along the honey.
Why, you will be able to see it getting closer and closer.
Will you, will you, my little one? Such ecstasy.
It is not true and you know it isn't.
But what is true is that you came here in disguise.
First a boy and now you are a girl.
He was just trying to protect me.
Protect you from the lord the king?
Oh, where is the princess? She knew all about this.
What is the meaning of this?
He had me brought here.
I wish to question her.
You call yourself a nobleman, sir, yet it appears you enjoy bullying young girls.
We are not the guilty ones here and don't spook away when I'm talking to you.
You sir, I have the right to civility from you.
What are you, knave or commoner? Or are you perhaps a traitor?
You, it was you who told the princess.
No more of this. No more will we.
Your majesty, I didn't realize you were there, sire.
Good laughter. This question time has reached its full conclusion.
Go to your men, find out their quarrels and complaints and mend them with the best words at your command.
They understand a fight, my lord.
Then warn them one approaches.
Sire, I will.
I'll turn them from a rebel into victors once again.
And we shall set a noise of sharpening and polishing till the ground there trembles with sound of axe and sword against the whetstone.
And the sun shall find a glittering home in every visor.
Yes, do it.
We know now that it was not you who told our sister.
It's no use. Joanna is right. We cannot fight Rome as well.
In any other land I could command the end and force my purpose.
Not here. Not with Safford and Joanna.
No. Once again we shall have to fight.
May I ask you something, sire?
If you knew it was the Earl of Leicester that gave your marriage plans away to your sister,
why didn't you accuse him? Have it up with him, then and there?
You just let it go by without saying a word. It wasn't fair.
Sorry, your majesty.
We accept the impeachment.
We are unjust to you to serve the greater good.
You see, my lord of Leicester is a hardy fighter.
And a fight is near us now.
When we meet the Saracen again, we shall need him at our elbow.
But do not be discouraged. You have our favour.
But I have made an enemy of him, sire.
Yes, I fear you have.
Therefore it would be best to be gone from here until the enmity is forgotten.
I think I agree, sire.
Must we go? I don't want to.
Good. And we do not wish to see you leave. But you must.
Go to Acre. Rest there.
Wait until we call again upon your wisdom and your counsel.
We shall leave at once, sire.
Meantime I'll wrestle with the problem of this war.
There is something important, sire.
If you are able to defeat Saladin in this battle, can you hold the city?
When the battle lose the war, the greatest fear we have, we've come so close.
I must see Jerusalem. I must.
You will, sire.
You think so?
I am certain, sire.
And when you look upon the city itself, you will be able to find the answer to the problem of this war.
We now take our leave, sire.
Are we going back to the ship?
After our legs we carry us, my dear.
Doctor, will he really see Jerusalem?
Only from afar. He won't be able to capture it.
Even now his armies are marching on a campaign that he can never win.
That's terrible. Can't we tell him?
I'm afraid not, my dear. No, history must take its course.
Help me, holy sepulcher.
Help me.
You see, my master, the line of black is getting nearer and nearer.
Date honey is a great delicacy for our little prince.
I will return to the ship and leave you to your little friend.
You have only to call.
Don't be upset. Please.
I tears of tears of joy.
All this time I believed that my father and sister were dead.
I had to assure that they were.
He has a lot to answer for.
Now I know why he told me that they were dead.
By keeping me here, he brought shame upon my family.
And at first I tried to kill myself to spur my father's honor.
But when I believed him dead, I did not even have the will to die.
Listen, Lenina. Your father loves you.
All he thinks about is getting you away from this place.
Is that really true?
Yes. He told me so.
I thought he would despise me.
He hates Valakir.
He wants to kill him and take you home.
There is no escape from this place.
But we will hide you.
Valakir is a stupid animal.
He will not think to search for you here.
Are you observably in the palace?
Aye. Just now, my lord.
Take men and follow them this strictly.
The old man tried to poison the king's mind.
He may be in the pay of the infidel Saladin.
He may be worse.
Some devil in a human form.
The girl a witch.
A witch, my lord?
Take courage, men.
No black art withstands a well-placed sword.
You see, my lord, that no one's death is approaching.
The Red is the advanced guard has reached its little objective.
All right. I tell you.
First, first, first.
I have gold.
Where?
Speak up. Speak up.
My boots.
You are lying. There is nothing there.
The other boot.
Now, where is Aliza?
How far is it? Because you're going to take me there.
Not far. Walking distance.
Aliza, myself.
I'll show you. I'll take you.
Do not kill me, lord. Walking distance.
Walking? Where's my horse?
My brother took it.
A miserable thief.
Have you heard anything?
No. They must be somewhere else in the palace.
Have a rest, now, Hesper. Let one of the others listen.
The corridor outside. Where does it lead?
There's a balcony. It overlooks the garden.
How far up from the ground?
There is a tree, but I...
Can you reach it from the balcony?
There are guards below.
How far are the entrance gates from the tree?
Not far. But there's no escape that way.
The guards watch it constantly.
I'll show you from the window.
She cannot get out. Go and look again.
You! Who gave you permission?
My lord.
What is this insolence?
He said a ruby ring, my lord.
Where is she?
She's dead.
Why do you steal his food?
I'm going inside.
Elakia has a friend of mine. I've got to find her.
Elakia will kill you. He's a very, very bad man.
He's not the only one around here.
But why do you say he's a bad man?
He has made the rich people so poor, so there is no one left to steal from.
If you rid the world of him, you will be remembered as a savior.
I shall not betray you.
Well, in that case, perhaps you can do something for me.
Anything, my lord. Anything. Anything.
The second thought might be a little difficult for you.
I wonder, do you think you could manage to steal some horses for me?
Now you're truly, truly my brother.
While you keep Elakia occupied, I will steal the horses from his stable.
Good.
You can always trust Ibrahim.
Satella has betrayed us. You must get away.
You would die if you stayed here.
You!
Heat her from me.
Leave her alone.
Now I shall show you how I deal with those who do not obey me.
I believe you would die.
There is great joy in my heart at seeing you.
Come now. Your sister Sophia awaits you.
Is Sophia all right?
Yes. She told me of your sacrifice.
I came here to give my life for you, my lady.
How did you get in here?
Get back! The guard!
Quickly!
Make haste! We must not stay here!
Sophia, quickly!
No! No! No! No!
You see? I was right, my lord. You did have gold.
I acquired it.
Like I acquired horses.
Now you are my truly, truly brother.
We must get back to the ship.
Farewell, Ibrahim. Don't go acquiring too many things.
Ride well, my lord. May Allah go with you.
Such talent! Such a long history!
We could have made a fortune!
We must not stand here dreaming you half-wits.
The soldiers will be around us.
These half-wits have stolen all the horses.
They can still use their legs, can't they?
They are between us and the ship.
The soldiers will follow us.
Yes, they are. I wonder what they are up to.
Can we go along?
No, there are too many of them.
Perhaps we could try and...
No, we can't do that.
Why not? What's happening?
Now I know why we've been followed.
Our messenger arrived.
So they are traitors in making towards Salam's encampment.
So it seemed to me, my lord.
Armed as they are with secrets, they are dangerous enemies.
Do you have the wood encircled?
Yes. They can't get away.
The shadows are the only friends they have.
We'll find them at daybreak.
It's that metering fool, Lester.
We've got to try and slip through them.
But remember, not a sound.
Back off now.
In you go.
My lord! My lord!
Take your hands off me, sir!
What are you doing? Unhand me!
How dare you!
They caught him! They caught him!
It's all right. We'll get him away.
What can we do?
Sir! I thought you'd show yourself.
What is the meaning of this, sir?
The king gave me leave to go.
To Saladin?
You are right, my lord.
His treachery is well paid by Saladin.
He is a Saracen spy.
The truth at last.
But I do not know you, sir.
I am Sir Ian, my lord.
Knight of Jaffa.
I know this villain's treachery.
And hearing that you were looking for him,
I followed you.
To watch his execution?
No, my lord.
To administer it.
It is a paltry matter to be rid of him, but I would do it.
It is no paltry matter to me, my lord.
Some friends of mine were ambushed here.
The Mara, the turnible.
He's to blame.
My lord, I beg of you.
Let me finish him.
Yours is the greater claim.
Dispatch him there and quickly.
Gentlemen, since I am to depart so fancily,
I would ask you to grant me one last wish.
Granted.
Thank you.
I would like to look once more upon the city of Jaffa.
And then you may do what you will with me.
Granted.
Thank you, my lord.
My lord.
Doctor, hurry.
What about that performance?
Doctor, open the door.
How bad.
Shh.
Do you hear a voice?
A voice?
A woman's voice.
Have we been tricked?
We will not speak of this.
Let this story die here in this wood.
All will be branded idiots or liars.
Poor sorry and brave Pharaoh.
Spirited away by fiend.
What dreadful anguish and despair he must be suffering now.
Any more cracks about knighthood and I'll carry out that execution.
Very my dear boy.
I must say I think you've earned a good knight's slip.
Now I suppose the childish will materialize when it's ready.
Yes, and where is Ike?
Oh, my dear young woman.
Why don't you go and have a cup of tea or something?
What's happening?
I don't know.
