Knightfall (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - You'd Know What To Do - full transcript

Accra has fallen, the Holy Grail is lost deep in the sea. At the same time the grand master Templar is slaughtered and the plot is starting a by letting Landry not knowing what to do... .

Master, the Sultan's emissaries
offered a parley.

Allah, I ask you
for the good of it

and seek refuge in You
against its evil.

Our prayer
when the wind blows.

Well,
your God is not listening.

Is yours?

You've lost Jerusalem.

You've lost every

Templar stronghold
in the Holy Land,

and now you will lose
the Grail.

We have 100,000 men
and more coming.



We have the forces
of Egypt and Syria.

We have siege-engines.

And we have God
on our side.

God.

Rashid.

We have the people of Acre
in our care.

Not just Christians.

Jews, Saracens...
all faiths.

Tell the Sultan,

they at least must be
granted safe...

Sultan is
no longer listening.

He will have
your humiliation.

And he will
have the Grail.

Surrender.



Die.

Those are your choices.

Then it's die.

Double the guard on the Grail.

Tancrede, Gawain,
left troop.

Left troop.

Landry,
with me on the right.

Three columns,
advancing fast.

How many?
5,000. 10,000.

No matter how many,

cut them down all day
if we have to.

Nearly 200 years ago,

nine knights founded our order

to protect pilgrims
on the road to Jerusalem.

Today, Acre is our stronghold
in the Holy Land,

and we will never
relinquish it.

We fight for more
than just this city,

more than just
the men and women

who will die if it falls.

Today, we fight for the Grail.

Take every life you must take,
but no more,

and remember
that we answer to God

just as we fight for God.

And we win
by the Grace of God.

By the Grace of God!

Ready?

Line. Will.

Attack!

Yeah!

First formation.

Turn back!
Finish them!

Charge!

- Tancrede! On your left.
- Behind you.

Godfrey! Behind you!

Landry!

Landry, get the Grail!

We're not gonna
stay and fight?

There are
too many of them!

We must make sure
the Grail is safe!

What about Acre?

All is lost!

We meet at the docks!

Get the Grail! Now!

Yes!

Open the tomb.
We're taking the Grail.

Landry, the Mamluks
are at the docks.

Already? They can't be!
We've been betrayed.

How?
The tunnels.

It's the only way
they could have made it there.

We have to go.

Fetch the gold!

Fight to the death!

Ready.

Landry!
We have to get to the ship!

Help!

Papa, help! Help me!

Agh!

Landry,
what are you doing?

Don't wait!
Get the Grail on the ship!

The box is secure.

Cast off!
No, wait!

Landry!

Adelina!

Come!

Come.

We must go!

Get the Grail to safety.

Go.

Go! Go!

Go!

Gawain!

Gawain,
do you remember the smell

of your mother's hair?

Aah!
Come on.

Adelina!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Thank you, brother.

You would have done the same
thing for me, Landry.

Acre. All the people
we have failed.

It is my fault.

No, we were betrayed.

How did they get
to the docks?

We will gather
more men.

We'll return
and retake the Holy Land.

The Grail!

Lord, no.

It is lost.

Everything is lost.

What are you doing here?

Teaching a fool
how to lose his sword.

You're the fool.

You weren't prepared.

Higher! Your arm!

Balance.

It is high.

Higher, otherwise...

Every time.

But much improvement.

Not that much.

The only possible explanation

is my teacher
has no skill to pass on.

No skill?

Philip, try this.

Then it must be that
you do not have the loyalty

to apply yourself
to training me well.

No loyalty
to the King of France.

That would be treason.
Exactly.

You are a traitor
to the crown!

Your Grace.

Landry is here.

We are training.
Yes, but...

Affairs of state.
You understand.

Stay longer next time.

Help me give some cheer
to the Queen.

She is forever
in her bed.

Landry.

De Nogaret.

Why do you interrupt me
when I'm with my friend?

Are the Templars
truly our friends?

Of course.

They're loyal to me
and to France.

You worry too much,
De Nogaret.

If you wish to worry
about something,

worry about Flanders,
England.

Worries like that
cost money.

And yet, the Templars,
our friends,

rich beyond reason,
no longer come to our aid.

It is not
the job of the Templars

to put money in our coffers,
De Nogaret.

It is yours.

Find another way.

We could take money
from the Jews.

The Jews
will not lend to us.

You said so yourself.

Not lend.

Take?

No.

No, I'm not
that kind of king.

I told you... I want to
be loved by the people.

Make way there.

And let me tell you this
about the Jews...

they will take your babies.

It's true.

They take
good Christian babies

and they crucify them
to mock Jesus!

Good boy.

Behave yourself, brother.

What?

I'll give you "What?"
I saw you looking.

Vows of chastity.
Remember those?

Looking is not touching.

No, but it's the first step.
Trust me.

Come on.

We have a meeting.

Don't hurry.

We all have to wait
for you.

I was with the King.

Brothers.

Lord, bless us.

Bless Jacques,
our Grand Master.

Bless Boniface,
our Pope.

And grant us all
Thy wisdom.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Brother Tancrede.

Thank you, Master Godfrey.

Our expenditure is still high
at 9,000 each month.

And what of our loans?

Repayment in good time
from Benedict of Artois,

income in the form of rents

received from his lands,
as agreed.

The De Caux estate
is in arrears, as ever,

and of course, there are
no repayments from the King.

While you were at
the palace with your friend,

perhaps you should
have reminded him.

The King is happy enough
to take our money,

but not to pay it back.

Well, at least he's doing
something with it.

What are we doing?

We're having meetings
about loans.

We feed the poor.

We help with shelters.

Any monk
can feed the poor.

We are Templars!
We are warriors.

We're supposed to fight
for the Holy Land.

Safe passage for pilgrims.

Instead, we dole out
a few loaves of bread

so nobody notices
we're hoarding our wealth.

We ignore
the treatment of the Jews

in our own city

as if somehow
we are not respon...

The Jews
are not our problem.

Well, then,
whose problem are they,

if not ours?

You know
the Templar mandate...

In London, in Rome,
in Naples, Paris...

wherever we are...

we do not get involved
in city affairs.

Well, then, what do we do?

What are we for?

Brother Landry.

I understand
your frustration.

It's been 15 years!

15 years
since we lost Acre,

and I don't understand why!

Why are we still in Paris?
What are we waiting for?

Are we waiting for the Holy Land
to come back by itself?

Landry.
Now is not the time.

The Sultans are fighting
amongst themselves.

The Mongols are attacking them
from the East.

If we act now,
we can retake the Holy Land.

We have the money.

We still have thousands of men
across Europe.

Now is the time.

It's not for us to decide.

It is for God to decide.

I love you, Godfrey,
but God has forgotten us.

He abandoned us in Acre.

Trust me.

I want to explain things
to you,

but the wind, Landry.

The wind
is still against us.

I have to go.

What?

It's nothing.

It's something
outside the city.

Godfrey,
what's the matter?

Prepare my horse
immediately.

Prepare mine, too.

I'm coming with you.

No. I won't be long.

In my absence,
you're in charge.

I want you to be Master.

Godfrey.
One thing...

You're right.

We must protect
the Jews.

Gawain tells me
you're in charge

while the old man
is away.

I'm worried about him.

He's not himself.

There's something wrong,
believe me.

And there's this...

I found it
in the cloister.

I think he saw it,

and that's why
he left suddenly.

It means something.

Trust me, brother,
you're thinking too much.

I'll see you at Compline.

Going somewhere in a hurry,
Master Templar?

How about Daniel?

Or George!
I'd love a George.

A good solid worker for the farm.
Shh.

If my father hears you talking
of children before we marry,

he'll nail your crickets
to the nearest tree.

What? Crickets?
You call them crickets?

Parsifal,
get back to work.

I'd like
a Matthew and a Paul, too.

Four boys?!
And not one girl?

Yeah, well, girls are trouble.

What is it?

A Templar knight.

Highwaymen.

Get inside.

Oh, what about you?
Marie, go!

What do you want from me?

Talk and we'll make it
painless.

Don't waste your time.

Templars enjoy pain.

They think it brings them
closer to God.

Isn't that right,
Godfrey?

You better run!

Run away, lad!

Run!

You should have listened,
lad!

What about you?

You like pain?

You were lucky.

Next time, be more careful
on the road, old man.

Next time,
bring more men.

You did well.

My name is Godfrey.

Parsifal. Sir.

Marie, bring water
and something for a bandage!

No. Too late.

My sword.

Where is it?

I'm going to ask you
to do something.

You have no idea
how important it is.

Anything.

Take this sword
to the Templars in Paris.

Paris?
I can't go to Paris.

I'm just a farmer.

Find a knight named Landry
there.

Give him the sword

And tell him
he'll know what to do.

God's Kingdom
depends on it.

You've never even left the village!
Well, not true.

I went once with a woodcutter.
You were 11!

Parsifal,
please don't leave!

Marie, you heard him.

I have to.

Rose.

What?

That's what
we'll call our daughter.

Rose.

Forgive me, Madam.

I followed you here.

I couldn't help noticing you
on the street.

Something...

Something about your eyes.

Your fine face.

Your fine legs.

Your even finer...

Be quiet.

Madam, I'm a lonely warrior
in need of love.

You were not so lonely
earlier today

that you did not leave me
in the street,

wanting...

Wanting?

Wanting what?

Don't make me say it.

Say it.

I like it.

Wanting you.

There was a meeting.

There is always a meeting.

True.

I'm not a warrior.
I'm an attender of meetings.

It's a curse.

Mend my troubled soul.

You're neither
of those things.

You're a monk.

You should not be here.

I'm here.

Yes,
you are very much here.

I missed you.

Joan, I missed you, too.

I love this.

I love everything,
but I love this.

Where the belly
joins onto the hip.

I know.

What man
in his right mind

would turn his back
on this?

To know this place
on a woman.

Stop it.

Something happened today.

Godfrey suddenly left the city.
I don't know why.

There's something
he isn't telling me.

And?

I'm worried about him.
He's my Master.

He's more than that.

He's like a father to you.

But if he's my father,
I'm not a very good son.

He's left me
in charge of the Temple,

and I repay his trust
with this.

Do you regret your time
with me?

No.

You're the only woman
I've ever loved.

And you know
they have those noses, the Jews?

Their noses are so big!

Do you know why?

Because the air is free!

What have we got here?

Shalom, my friend.

Shalom.

Where's the man
who carries this sword?

Godfrey, he, um...

How?

Highwaymen.

They chased him,
shot his horse.

Godfrey killed them all.

Only their leader
got away.

Where's his body?
At my house.

My fiancée and her father
will have buried him properly.

No. He should be laid to rest
here in the Temple,

after the funeral
he deserves.

Take some initiates.

Bring him home.

What will you do now?

What do you mean?

He said take
the sword to you.

He said you would know
what to do.

Come on.

Boy...

Thank you.

"You'd know what to do?"

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Make sure his sword
is cleaned

and kept in his office.

We'll bury it
with his body.

And send word to the Pope.
He'll want to know.

Brother Landry.

No! Not now!

Forgive me, sir, but I
thought you'd want to know,

there's been a murder
in the city.

A Jew killed a Christian.

The people want revenge.

The Queen and I
were married in this church.

It holds a special place
in my heart.

She was just a girl then.

How she has flowered.

You should marry,
De Nogaret.

Sometimes the object
of a man's desire

is... beyond reach.

Besides, I'm already married
to France.

And your service.

Your Grace, regarding the
Jews... We settled that.

There has been
a development.

A Christian trader

has been killed
in the market square.

A Jew stabbed him
in broad daylight.

Then this Jew must be punished
in the usual way.

I'm afraid matters
have gone beyond that.

The murderer escaped
and hides among his own.

The people are so angry.

They will not stop

until every Jew
in Paris is dead.

The Queen believes
we need the Jews,

and I share her opinion.

Their doctors heal our sick,
their merchants...

I agree with Her Grace.

The Jews
should be protected.

But I'm afraid
the only way to protect them

is an evacuation.

A forced evacuation?

For the greater good
and for their own safety.

It is the only way.

Hello, De Nogaret.

Reynard, thank you for coming.

I've done the job.

Did you hear the news?

Are you happy?
Yes. Well done.

It appears your performance
was most convincing.

The King has ordered
the expulsion of the Jews.

You're welcome.

Let them leave the city
in peace.

Once they're on the open road,
round them up,

take all their money,
and kill them.

Need a lot of men.
Fair cost to it.

You'll be paid.

What about the children?

Leave them be?

Why?

We need to get
Let's get back on the road.

Were you wounded
in the Holy Land?

Well, I meant no offence,
but I see your leg.

Yes.
I was wounded at Acre.

Why would you do that?

Travel 1,000 miles
to fight in a strange land?

If you do not understand,
then I cannot explain.

What you see as a wound,
I see as a gift.

Yeah, well,
a wound like that

would be no gift on a farm,
I can tell you.

Anything else
you want to tell me?

No.

Let's go.

Make way for
the royal chamberlain!

Stand back!
Out of the way!

Move aside!
Step aside!

Get back!
Keep it clear!

By the order of the King,

the Jewish Quarter
is to be cleared.

Aah!

What about the children?

All men, women, and children
of the Jewish faith

are required to leave the city
by the vespers bell.

Listen!
The King must be heard!

Listen to me!

It is done
in the interest of peace

and for your own protection!

The King guarantees every person
safe passage.

They're all
going to be slaughtered.

We can't raise arms.

Legally,
we have no mandate.

Godfrey knew the limits of our
jurisdiction, Tancrede,

but he still charged me
with protecting the Jews.

Even so,
this is dangerous.

Our order was founded on
the principle of

protecting pilgrims on the road.
Tell me something.

How did you come to hear of
this supposed slaughter?

I can't say.

Well, if you can't say,
we can't act.

Believe me, brother,

it comes
from a trusted source.

I don't doubt your word,
Landry,

but if I'm to agree
on an intervention...

Brother, as acting Master,

I wasn't aware that we had
to agree on anything.

Well, might I advise
the acting Master

to consider this decision
carefully?

If your first order
sends Templars

into an illegitimate
battle,

it could also be
your last.

Nothing.
Keep going!

Step aside!

If we had fought,
then what?

If we'd fought and we'd won,

would we suddenly be
welcomed back in Paris?

That's not the point.
It is the point.

We were not welcome.
We were not safe.

My job as your father
is to keep you safe.

Safe.
I don't want to be safe.

I want to be...

- Jews.
- There's the Jews.

- Yeah!
- Look at them!

There they are!

Papa! Papa!

Halt!

- Form!
- Ready!

Formation!

Arms!

Charge!

Take them down!

Adelina!

Aah!

Brother, let me help you.

Thank you for your help.

It was very brave of you.

You saved us once before.

At Acre.

I remember.

You take this.

You show this document
at any Templar house

on your journey.

You and your people
will be fed.

I don't know
what to say.

Hashem yevarech otha.

And may your God
bless you.

Come.

Thank you, but we will
retrieve our Master's body

and return to Paris.

Yeah, well, even if I
would allow you to go home unfed,

Marie would not.

No. No!

No!

Marie! Marie!

Your Grace.

You are lucky.

I am good spirits.

The Queen
is in better health,

and tonight,
we dine with the nobles.

Your Grace?

The Jews were set-upon
on the road.

So I gather.

Most unfortunate.

You think I am weak?

Your Grace?

I am many things,
De Nogaret,

but I am not weak.

Your Grace.

If I find out
you disobeyed me,

by God, I shall see you
hanged from Montfaucon.

Am I understood?

His Grace, King Philip,
and Her Grace Queen Joan.

Godfrey sent us
a message!

What message?
Come.

Is that...

The Grail.

Is that the Fleur-de-lis?

Yes. That's France.

The Holy Grail
is in France.
