The Grail
will destroy us all.
Brother Tancrede,
you stand charged with murder.
The Brotherhood of Light
call on one another.
What business would such men
have with your master?
I need to find out.
What future does
the wife of a king
have with a Templar?
What hope is there?
You are with child.
Queen Joan: There is a way
to resolve this.
Joan.
There is something you may wish
to whisper to your Queen
about the Prince
and Princess.
Submit her
to a purity test.
The young Prince is a problem.
What is to be done?
I shall think
of something.
Think fast.
I can't marry him now.
You're clever, Uncle.
Are there things
you can do?
It's from
the King of England.
What does this mean,
my Lord?
It means war.
Preparation is wise,
Your Grace,
but we should not break
the peace with England
without due cause.
You saw what they did
to the horse, De Nogaret.
There is no peace.
Let us not make
any haste --
I expect England to
underestimate me, De Nogaret,
but you should
know better.
England has been our enemy
for centuries.
Every time peace is reached
between us,
it is their king
who breaks it.
They can attack us
by sea or by land.
But no matter
what they do,
France will never
succumb.
We will fight them
to the end.
It is the will of God!
Prepare my horse.
I must pay the Earl of Oxford
a visit.
It's time.
The gauntlet.
Do you want me
to give the order?
No.
It should come from me.
Brother Tancrede...
you must repent your crimes
against the Temple...
or face punishment.
Do you repent?
I do not.
I repeat,
do you repent?
No.
I did it
to protect the Temple.
I will always
protect the Temple.
So be it.
This man, Tancrede,
is your brother.
You may not want
to strike him hard.
But let me
tell you this:
hard blows will banish the sin
from his body
and will give him
a chance of redemption.
Weak blows will allow his sins
to go unpunished
and his soul uncleansed.
If you care for him,
you must strike him
with all your strength.
You will be punished
until you repent.
Move!
Oh!
Oh!
Aah!
Oh, oh!
Take him back.
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
Oh!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I didn't want
to wake you.
It is our daughter's
wedding day.
My soldiers have
fire in their bellies.
I confess,
so do I.
Now that things
have...improved between us.
Then we are both
pleased.
Your Grace?
Excellent.
Tell the troops
to stand ready.
What is it?
I've called on the nobles
from Brittany to Burgundy.
They're mustering
their men.
If England does strike,
we are ready.
Did we make a mistake,
allowing Isabella to turn
her back on England?
England has shown
his true colors.
And Isabella will have
the husband she desires.
Soon she will have
children of her own.
Truthfully...
I wish we could have
another child.
Don't you?
We can only hope.
Four nights this week.
Should be sufficient.
Four nights
will ensure
the legitimacy
of the King's child.
I'm -- I'm sorry.
Isabella, you must believe --
I never told a soul.
Isabella, please.
I don't know what to say
to make you believe me.
There's no need.
I'm not angry anymore.
I require
to see the Earl.
He's indisposed,
sir.
Then I recommend
he become disposed.
Open this door.
If Oxford's gone,
then good riddance.
But if England
has recalled him,
we may be in more danger
than we thought --
here in Paris.
England would not dare
touch me in Paris.
I do not know another way
to interpret
the ambassador's
disappearance.
What kind of man
skulks off in the night
when we have shown him
every hospitality?
The English
truly have no honor.
We're looking for Adelina.
Does anybody know her?
Has anybody seen
Adelina?
You the boy?
I took this beating --
for a little schnip like you?
Who beat you?
Roland?
I talk to nobody.
Where is she?
She went after him.
Where?
No idea.
It doesn't matter.
If she finds him,
she'll be dead by now anyway.
I said,
where is she?!
Gawain: Parsifal?
We'll find her --
and Roland -- another way.
Let's go.
Where is he? Is he coming?
Well, he nodded.
Did he not yes?
Yes.
Then where is he?
Nil desperandum, De Nogaret.
I'm here.
I admit
I was surprised --
of all the people who might
ask for my assistance.
Extremis malis,
extrema remedia.
Desperate times,
indeed.
I hear the King
has mobilized
his troops.
But I need the King
to understand
that his army
doesn't make him invincible,
and that every precaution
must be taken here in Paris.
What do you know
of the Earl of Oxford?
I heard he's vanished.
Who from?
Friends.
They are correct.
And have your "friends"
also heard
about a plot
against the Royal court?
Yes.
Then our spies
are capable of agreement,
even if we are not.
I don't have spies,
De Nogaret.
Good Christians
keep me informed.
I salute you.
Good Christians
are spies
that you don't
have to pay.
You're right.
We must ensure that Philip
understands the danger he's in.
Come.
This will be
a great day.
Dear God.
What's happened to him?
He's been poisoned.
Queen Elena: Poisoned?
Who could have done this?
He warned me.
England.
The King just sent word.
There's been an attack
on the Royal palace.
De Nogaret
has been poisoned.
What about the Queen?
The whole family,
are they safe?
I don't know.
Your Majesty,
the poison has begun
to take hold.
There's nothing
I can do for him.
That wine
was for the wedding.
We could have all
been poisoned.
I'm relieved
to see you're both safe.
Your arrival
is most appreciated,
Master Templar.
Our man Draper
may be able
to help your physician
with the poison.
Please,
come this way.
Who is behind this?
It may be
the English ambassador,
the Earl of Oxford.
Where is he?
Disappeared.
De Nogaret went
to his lodgings
in the Bishop's Palace.
His men
are still there,
but he himself
is long gone.
Pay these men
a visit.
Find out
what they know.
Watch my wife.
Your Grace?
There may be traitors
under my very nose.
And until I know more,
you must protect the Queen.
She is my most prized
possession.
Now more than ever.
Indeed,
I must thank you
for your help
the other night.
I don't understand.
Whatever you said
to the Queen
had the desired effect.
She has rekindled
her affections
and spent many nights
in my bed.
Well,
that's wonderful news.
That's
as it should be.
So can I count on you
to protect my wife?
I would rather die
than let anything happen
to the Queen,
Your Grace.
Good.
At this moment,
you are the only one
I can trust.
Surely there are other Templars
who could guard me.
None that I would trust
with your life.
I thought my life
was no longer your concern.
Your life will always
be my concern.
Small enough for a pigeon.
And this
is the whole message?
Yes.
Make your mark there.
Your Master was here
one moment and gone the next?
Yes.
Without a sound?
You expect me
to believe that?
It's the truth.
You must have known
relations between your country
and France
were under strain.
We're told
not to get involved.
No. Your job
is merely to guard.
And yet your Master
vanishes on your watch.
Embarrassing.
That smell.
I smell horse shit.
Shut up.
Wh-What is it?
Step back.
The smallest spark
sets it aflame,
and it engulfs
everything it touches.
It sticks like honey
to the skin
and peels it off
in the blink of an eye.
Water will not douse it.
It is a wicked weapon.
They call it Greek Fire.
Never heard
of it being in France.
Even in the Holy Land,
there was only ever one man
who knew how to handle it.
Well, who was that?
I know someone who knows him,
but I can't ask him.
Well, why not?
It's Tancrede.
Tancrede,
I need your help.
Years ago, you told me
you fought the Mamluks
alongside
a Mongol warrior.
Greek Fire
was his weapon.
What was his name?
You call me a traitor,
you condemn me.
You condemn yourself
by refusing to repent.
Well, at least
I give you the pleasure...
...of watching my suffering.
You receive
the punishment you deserve.
Gawain:
I take no pleasure in it.
This is madness.
There are lives
at stake.
The boy is right.
There's been an attack
on the palace.
The Princess is to marry,
and we must protect her.
This is not about you
or the Temple.
It's about France.
Brother, tell us what you know
about this Mongol.
Let's go.
I never met him.
But I do know that
he is a dreaded mercenary.
He's made killing
an art.
He's an alchemist --
not only with Greek Fire,
but also with poisons.
He's gifted
with a bow and a sword.
He sells his skills
to the highest bidder,
and you
will find him...
...only if he wants
to be found.
Well,
what's his name?
What does
he look like?
How do we stop him?!
You don't.
This is a damned
waste of time!
There were two chests full
of this Greek Fire.
Imagine what
he could do with that.
Is there nothing
you can tell us?
He could destroy the palace
or the church,
with the Princess in it
on her wedding day.
Don't you care
about that?
Well, the Greek Fire
leaves a trace.
Scour the buildings
with brimstone.
The yellow of the brimstone
turns white
if the fire
is present.
And one more thing.
He always
wears a mask.
Come on, boy.
There's nobody here.
You're here.
I never thought
you'd be in this room.
What?
The King
confided in me today.
He told me that you've
been sharing his chamber.
What did you expect?
For you not to run back
so quickly to his bed.
Where I lay my head
is no longer your concern.
I know
I have no right.
But I could have
killed him.
To hear him talk about
how he gets what he wants.
He gets what he wants,
you get what you want.
Neither of you spares a thought
for what I want.
Do you really think I wanted
to go back to bed with Philip?!
I don't understand!
I don't understand!
I'm with child.
Your child.
Our child.
When were you...
When were you
going to tell me?
I tried that night.
You had news
of your own.
When Philip finds out...
That's why you've been
visiting his chamber.
Oh, child.
There's a Templar.
It's urgent.
The Earl had
two cases of a...
a weapon.
Greek Fire.
I have to speak
with the King.
You stay
with the Queen.
No one gets in.
Will this remedy work?
No, Your Holiness.
I do not know
what the poison is.
This will only
soothe his passing.
This is the Lamb of God,
who takes away
the sins of the world.
By heaven,
De Nogaret,
you have some sins
to take away.
Blessed are those
who are called to His supper.
Greek Fire?
Landry: It's a weapon
used against armies.
It could destroy
the whole church.
You need to postpone
the wedding.
After all that I've done to make
it happen? Impossible.
You need to think about
the risk to Isabella...
and the Queen.
You cannot care
for my wife and daughter
more than I do.
If I show fear
here in Paris,
if they see that I cannot even
protect my own family,
they will know that
I cannot protect France.
But I cannot
protect the church.
Then we'll have it here --
in the palace.
Lend me your men.
Help me to take
every precaution.
But this wedding
must proceed.
Take care.
Event
the slightest spark
could ignite
the Greek Fire.
We've laid out the brimstone
in the kitchens.
There's nothing.
Good.
Take your posts upstairs
and be at the ready.
Let's sweep
the upper chambers.
The great hall is clear.
Move out.
As-salamu alakum.
Wa 'alaykum salaam.
Friend.
You walk among them.
You converted from our faith
to theirs.
But you will never
be one of them.
Who are you?
You know who I am.
Brotherhood of Light.
My Master wants
to speak with you.
I will speak with him
when I am ready,
and not before
you've given me what I want.
The wounded man you captured
and took into the Temple --
Did you kill him?
He tried to kill the Master
and Tancrede.
Still, I did my best
to save him.
May God rest his soul.
I want his body back!
No.
That is something
I cannot do.
It is something
you must do.
He was my son.
Landry,
we must speak.
It's important.
It was his son.
The Saracen who escaped,
Tancrede killed his son.
Did you tell him I wanted
to speak with him?
He doesn't care.
He'll talk to you only
when he has the body back.
Then we should
give it to him.
They've already killed Godfrey.
Heaven knows --
The man's child.
It's his
flesh and blood.
He'll want to bury him.
Give him the body.
I remember when I held you
in the palm of one hand.
You didn't cry.
You were
entirely calm.
You seemed
to know everything --
the day you were born.
Father, I'm not that innocent,
little girl anymore.
All will be well.
I'm not so sure.
It's your wedding day.
I'll take care
of everything.
Come.
Let's take you
to your husband.
We have swept
the entire palace.
No trace of the Fire.
Good.
You look beautiful.
Behold,
fellow Christians,
we have come together
in the sight of God
and the angels
and all his saints
to join two bodies --
this man, and this woman --
so that they be one
in flesh.
Templars do not
keep possessions.
And may they earn together an
eternal life in the kingdom...
It's all I have left
of Marie.
This obsession with a girl
nearly got you killed
and may well
be the end of you.
...surrender themselves...
You need to let it go.
I don't know how.
...hear them and embrace them
with Your divine love.
There is a place
all Templars go
when we first join
the Order --
a tree where
we leave our past
so that we can move
from one life to the next.
Holy Father, You will it
that Lluis and Isabella,
Your true children,
should be known
by their love for each other.
And by their love
and Yours,
may they produce
more children
and love them
the way You love us.
And may Lluis...
We must talk.
As long as Philip
is my husband and the King,
what is there to say?
...and protect them
from evil.
And may they
grow old together
in the comfort and blessing
of holy matrimony
until death
them do part.
And now,
I charge you all,
by the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost,
that if any of you
know of any...
Philip!
Down!
Take the Queen!
You take the King!
Wait!
Lluis!
Lluis! Help!
Isabella!
Lluis, help!
Lluis!
Isabella!
Lluis!
Isabella!
Isabella!
Jump!
I can't!
I'm stuck!
Goodbye.
Isabella!
Isabella!
Lluis!
No, Lluis!
No!
No!
Gawain.
Thank God you're safe.
Thank God you're safe.
You're safe.
Can you hear me?
Did it work?
Exactly as you planned.
She always
saw the best in me.
We give our lives
and all we own to God.
And in the act of submission,
we find our strength.
If you can give up your rage
and your pain,
you will be free.
My King --
the English King --
will provide a handsome reward
to anyone who returns me.
Give this up now,
and I'll say you rescued me.
He will make you rich.
Altani: You're not
going anywhere.
I know you.
I know your kind.
You're just
a paid assassin.
You have no honor.
Your history is written
by men who speak of honor
as if it could be bought.
My history has
a different author.
Try to be
diplomatic, Robert.
Altani is only
doing her job.
You!
I might have known.
Untie me immediately!
France has been
under attack.
Someone tried to kill
the Royal Family,
right here, in Paris.
What have you done?
Luckily, they failed.
But Prince Lluis
of Catalonia
was killed
in the fracas.
I told you killing the Prince
wouldn't work.
It would only point
to England,
and then there could never
be an alliance.
I wouldn't want that.
I don't want anyone to think
your King did it.
I want them to think
you did it.
Knowing that
Longshanks will blame you
for Isabella
not choosing his son,
you took matters
into your own hands.
And employed an assassin
to poison me,
attack
the King and Queen,
and abduct
the Princess.
Luckily,
with the Templars' skill
in tracking
the Greek Fire --
left for them to find
by Altani --
your plans
were scuppered.
Apart from the tragic
and cruel murder
of Prince Lluis,
killed as he gallantly tried
to rescue his bride
on their wedding day.
That was low.
Philip will understand
eventually.
Or the Pope.
Well, Boniface is clever,
you are right.
But you poisoned me.
If I am the target,
then I cannot also be
the perpetrator.
Amen.
Thank you.
You've made
a speedy recovery.
Thanks, no doubt,
to your prayers.
My prayers were
for you to find peace,
not to recover.
It's interesting that after
such heartbreaking turmoil,
everything's turned out
exactly as you wanted.
Your Holiness,
my thoughts have only ever
been for the Princess.
Her happiness
is my sole purpose --
my "holy grail,"
if you like.
King Philip: Suicide?
His plan failed.
He have no choice.
He must have known
the most horrible torture
was inevitable --
either in England
or in France.
He had nowhere to run.
This whole thing,
drummed up by one man?
It would appear so,
Your Grace.
And the assassin?
Dead,
along with the Prince.
Unfortunately, there was not
much left of either of them
by the time
the flames died down.
Send word to England.
We understand
his ambassador acted alone.
We hold no grudge,
and we extend
the hand of peace.
And the hand
of Isabella?
Yes.
Yes.
Once I thought our demons
were to be fought in Acre.
There were
clear lines --
the righteous
and the infidels,
the Holy Land
and here.
And now I don't know
who's righteous
and who's not.
And our battles are
being fought right here,
on French soil.
My own brother
fighting against our cause.
Everything
I've ever understood,
everyone
I've ever loved --
Godfrey, you...
Brother,
I need you to repent.
Please.
Tancrede,
let us be brothers again.
Do you really believe
God doesn't want the Grail
to be found?
If you believed you were right,
why did you act alone?
Why didn't you
come to me?
Would you have listened?
I have only a moment.
I must get back
to my daughter.
Thank you
for meeting me.
There is so much
to say.
You're with child --
my child.
Even saying those words
out loud,
I can scarcely
believe it.
Our child.
What of the Grail?
Your Templar vows?
Those haven't changed?
I'll find a way
for us to be together.
What way is that?
We can leave Paris.
And we can go somewhere,
anywhere.
Where would we go
that he couldn't find us?
And where you wouldn't
be a Templar?
I love you.
But what future does
the wife of the King
have with a Templar?
You have my child
growing within you.
No. I will have
the King's child,
and you will go back
to the Temple.
That is our future.
The wind is still
against you, Landry.
Rashid.
You wanted to talk.
---
The Grail
will destroy us all.
Brother Tancrede,
you stand charged with murder.
The Brotherhood of Light
call on one another.
What business would such men
have with your master?
I need to find out.
What future does
the wife of a king
have with a Templar?
What hope is there?
You are with child.
Queen Joan: There is a way
to resolve this.
Joan.
There is something you may wish
to whisper to your Queen
about the Prince
and Princess.
Submit her
to a purity test.
The young Prince is a problem.
What is to be done?
I shall think
of something.
Think fast.
I can't marry him now.
You're clever, Uncle.
Are there things
you can do?
It's from
the King of England.
What does this mean,
my Lord?
It means war.
Preparation is wise,
Your Grace,
but we should not break
the peace with England
without due cause.
You saw what they did
to the horse, De Nogaret.
There is no peace.
Let us not make
any haste --
I expect England to
underestimate me, De Nogaret,
but you should
know better.
England has been our enemy
for centuries.
Every time peace is reached
between us,
it is their king
who breaks it.
They can attack us
by sea or by land.
But no matter
what they do,
France will never
succumb.
We will fight them
to the end.
It is the will of God!
Prepare my horse.
I must pay the Earl of Oxford
a visit.
It's time.
The gauntlet.
Do you want me
to give the order?
No.
It should come from me.
Brother Tancrede...
you must repent your crimes
against the Temple...
or face punishment.
Do you repent?
I do not.
I repeat,
do you repent?
No.
I did it
to protect the Temple.
I will always
protect the Temple.
So be it.
This man, Tancrede,
is your brother.
You may not want
to strike him hard.
But let me
tell you this:
hard blows will banish the sin
from his body
and will give him
a chance of redemption.
Weak blows will allow his sins
to go unpunished
and his soul uncleansed.
If you care for him,
you must strike him
with all your strength.
You will be punished
until you repent.
Move!
Oh!
Oh!
Aah!
Oh, oh!
Take him back.
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
Oh!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I do not repent!
I didn't want
to wake you.
It is our daughter's
wedding day.
My soldiers have
fire in their bellies.
I confess,
so do I.
Now that things

Then we are both

England has shown
his true colors.
And Isabella will have
the husband she desires.
Soon she will have
children of her own.
Truthfully...
I wish we could have
another child.
Don't you?
We can only hope.
Four nights this week.
Should be sufficient.
Four nights
will ensure
the legitimacy
of the King's child.
I'm -- I'm sorry.
Isabella, you must believe --
I never told a soul.
Isabella, please.
I don't know what to say
to make you believe me.
There's no need.
I'm not angry anymore.
I require
to see the Earl.
He's indisposed,
sir.
Then I recommend
he become disposed.
Open this door.
If Oxford's gone,
then good riddance.
But if England
has recalled him,
we may be in more danger
than we thought --
here in Paris.
England would not dare

I do not know another way
to interpret
the ambassador's

What kind of man

Gawain: Parsifal?
We'll find her --
and Roland -- another way.
Let's go.
Where is he? Is he coming?
Well, he nodded.
Did he not yes?
Yes.
Then where is he?
Nil desperandum, De Nogaret.
I'm here.
I admit

of all the people who might
ask for my assistance.
Extremis malis,

Desperate times,
indeed.

De Nogaret.
Good Christians
keep me informed.
I salute you.
Good Christians
are spies
that you don't
have to pay.
You're right.
We must ensure that Philip
understands the danger he's in.
Come.
This will be
a great day.
Dear God.
What's happened to him?
He's been poisoned.
Queen Elena: Poisoned?
Who could have done this?
He warned me.
England.
The King just sent word.
There's been an attack
on the Royal palace.
De Nogaret
has been poisoned.
What about the Queen?
The whole family,
are they safe?
I don't know.
Your Majesty,
the poison has begun
to take hold.
There's nothing
I can do for him.
That wine
was for the wedding.
We could have all
been poisoned.
I'm relieved
to see you're both safe.
Your arrival
is most appreciated,
Master Templar.
Our man Draper
may be able
to help your physician
with the poison.
Please,
come this way.
Who is behind this?
It may be
the English ambassador,
the Earl of Oxford.
Where is he?
Disappeared.
De Nogaret went
to his lodgings
in the Bishop's Palace.
His men
are still there,
but he himself
is long gone.
Pay these men
a visit.
Find out
what they know.
Watch my wife.
Your Grace?
There may be traitors
under my very nose.
And until I know more,
you must protect the Queen.
She is my most prized
possession.
Now more than ever.
Indeed,
I must thank you
for your help
the other night.
I don't understand.
Whatever you said
to the Queen
had the desired effect.
She has rekindled
her affections
and spent many nights
in my bed.
Well,
that's wonderful news.
That's
as it should be.
So can I count on you
to protect my wife?
I would rather die
than let anything happen
to the Queen,
Your Grace.
Good.
At this moment,
you are the only one
I can trust.
Surely there are other Templars
who could guard me.
None that I would trust
with your life.
I thought my life
was no longer your concern.
Your life will always
be my concern.
Small enough for a pigeon.
And this
is the whole message?
Yes.
Make your mark there.
Your Master was here
one moment and gone the next?
Yes.
Without a sound?
You expect me
to believe that?
It's the truth.
You must have known
relations between your country
and France
were under strain.
We're told
not to get involved.
No. Your job
is merely to guard.
And yet your Master
vanishes on your watch.
Embarrassing.
That smell.
I smell horse shit.
Shut up.
Wh-What is it?
Step back.
The smallest spark
sets it aflame,
and it engulfs
everything it touches.
It sticks like honey
to the skin
and peels it off
in the blink of an eye.
Water will not douse it.
It is a wicked weapon.
They call it Greek Fire.
Never heard
of it being in France.
Even in the Holy Land,
there was only ever one man
who knew how to handle it.
Well, who was that?
I know someone who knows him,
but I can't ask him.
Well, why not?
It's Tancrede.
Tancrede,
I need your help.
Years ago, you told me
you fought the Mamluks
alongside
a Mongol warrior.
Greek Fire
was his weapon.
What was his name?
You call me a traitor,
you condemn me.
You condemn yourself
by refusing to repent.
Well, at least
I give you the pleasure...
...of watching my suffering.
You receive
the punishment you deserve.
Gawain:
I take no pleasure in it.
This is madness.
There are lives
at stake.
The boy is right.
There's been an attack
on the palace.
The Princess is to marry,
and we must protect her.
This is not about you
or the Temple.
It's about France.
Brother, tell us what you know
about this Mongol.
Let's go.
I never met him.
But I do know that
he is a dreaded mercenary.
He's made killing
an art.
He's an alchemist --
not only with Greek Fire,
but also with poisons.
He's gifted
with a bow and a sword.
He sells his skills
to the highest bidder,
and you
will find him...
...only if he wants
to be found.
Well,
what's his name?
What does
he look like?
How do we stop him?!
You don't.
This is a damned
waste of time!
There were two chests full
of this Greek Fire.
Imagine what
he could do with that.
Is there nothing
you can tell us?
He could destroy the palace
or the church,
with the Princess in it
on her wedding day.
Don't you care
about that?
Well, the Greek Fire
leaves a trace.
Scour the buildings
with brimstone.
The yellow of the brimstone
turns white
if the fire
is present.
And one more thing.
He always
wears a mask.
Come on, boy.
There's nobody here.
You're here.
I never thought
you'd be in this room.
What?
The King
confided in me today.
He told me that you've
been sharing his chamber.
What did you expect?
For you not to run back
so quickly to his bed.
Where I lay my head
is no longer your concern.
I know
I have no right.
But I could have
killed him.
To hear him talk about
how he gets what he wants.
He gets what he wants,
you get what you want.
Neither of you spares a thought
for what I want.
Do you really think I wanted
to go back to bed with Philip?!
I don't understand!
I don't understand!
I'm with child.
Your child.
Our child.
When were you...
When were you
going to tell me?
I tried that night.
You had news
of your own.
When Philip finds out...
That's why you've been
visiting his chamber.
Oh, child.
There's a Templar.
It's urgent.
The Earl had
two cases of a...
a weapon.
Greek Fire.
I have to speak
with the King.
You stay
with the Queen.
No one gets in.
Will this remedy work?
No, Your Holiness.
I do not know
what the poison is.
This will only
soothe his passing.
This is the Lamb of God,
who takes away
the sins of the world.
By heaven,
De Nogaret,
you have some sins
to take away.
Blessed are those
who are called to His supper.
Greek Fire?
Landry: It's a weapon
used against armies.
It could destroy
the whole church.
You need to postpone
the wedding.
After all that I've done to make
it happen? Impossible.
You need to think about
the risk to Isabella...
and the Queen.
You cannot care
for my wife and daughter
more than I do.
If I show fear
here in Paris,
if they see that I cannot even
protect my own family,
they will know that
I cannot protect France.
But I cannot
protect the church.
Then we'll have it here --
in the palace.
Lend me your men.
Help me to take
every precaution.
But this wedding
must proceed.
Take care.
Event
the slightest spark
could ignite
the Greek Fire.
We've laid out the brimstone
in the kitchens.
There's nothing.
Good.
Take your posts upstairs
and be at the ready.
Let's sweep
the upper chambers.
The great hall is clear.
Move out.
As-salamu alakum.
Wa 'alaykum salaam.
Friend.
You walk among them.
You converted from our faith
to theirs.
But you will never
be one of them.
Who are you?
You know who I am.
Brotherhood of Light.
My Master wants
to speak with you.
I will speak with him
when I am ready,
and not before
you've given me what I want.
The wounded man you captured
and took into the Temple --
Did you kill him?
He tried to kill the Master
and Tancrede.
Still, I did my best
to save him.
May God rest his soul.
I want his body back!
No.
That is something
I cannot do.
It is something
you must do.
He was my son.
Landry,
we must speak.
It's important.
It was his son.
The Saracen who escaped,
Tancrede killed his son.
Did you tell him I wanted
to speak with him?
He doesn't care.
He'll talk to you only
when he has the body back.
Then we should
give it to him.
They've already killed Godfrey.
Heaven knows --
The man's child.
It's his
flesh and blood.
He'll want to bury him.
Give him the body.
I remember when I held you
in the palm of one hand.
You didn't cry.
You were
entirely calm.
You seemed
to know everything --
the day you were born.
Father, I'm not that innocent,
little girl anymore.
All will be well.
I'm not so sure.
It's your wedding day.
I'll take care
of everything.
Come.
Let's take you
to your husband.
We have swept
the entire palace.
No trace of the Fire.
Good.
You look beautiful.
Behold,
fellow Christians,
we have come together
in the sight of God
and the angels
and all his saints
to join two bodies --
this man, and this woman --
so that they be one
in flesh.
Templars do not
keep possessions.
And may they earn together an
eternal life in the kingdom...
It's all I have left
of Marie.
This obsession with a girl
nearly got you killed
and may well
be the end of you.
...surrender themselves...
You need to let it go.
I don't know how.
...hear them and embrace them
with Your divine love.
There is a place
all Templars go
when we first join
the Order --
a tree where
we leave our past
so that we can move
from one life to the next.
Holy Father, You will it
that Lluis and Isabella,
Your true children,
should be known
by their love for each other.
And by their love
and Yours,
may they produce
more children
and love them
the way You love us.
And may Lluis...
We must talk.
As long as Philip
is my husband and the King,
what is there to say?
...and protect them
from evil.
And may they
grow old together
in the comfort and blessing
of holy matrimony
until death
them do part.
And now,
I charge you all,
by the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost,
that if any of you
know of any...
Philip!
Down!
Take the Queen!
You take the King!
Wait!
Lluis!
Lluis! Help!
Isabella!
Lluis, help!
Lluis!
Isabella!
Lluis!
Isabella!
Isabella!
Jump!
I can't!
I'm stuck!
Goodbye.
Isabella!
Isabella!
Lluis!
No, Lluis!
No!
No!
Gawain.
Thank God you're safe.
Thank God you're safe.
You're safe.
Can you hear me?
Did it work?
Exactly as you planned.
She always
saw the best in me.
We give our lives
and all we own to God.
And in the act of submission,
we find our strength.
If you can give up your rage
and your pain,
you will be free.
My King --
the English King --
will provide a handsome reward
to anyone who returns me.
Give this up now,
and I'll say you rescued me.
He will make you rich.
Altani: You're not
going anywhere.
I know you.
I know your kind.
You're just
a paid assassin.
You have no honor.
Your history is written
by men who speak of honor
as if it could be bought.
My history has
a different author.
Try to be
diplomatic, Robert.
Altani is only
doing her job.
You!
I might have known.
Untie me immediately!
France has been
under attack.
Someone tried to kill
the Royal Family,
right here, in Paris.
What have you done?
Luckily, they failed.
But Prince Lluis
of Catalonia
was killed
in the fracas.
I told you killing the Prince
wouldn't work.
It would only point
to England,
and then there could never
be an alliance.
I wouldn't want that.
I don't want anyone to think
your King did it.
I want them to think
you did it.
Knowing that
Longshanks will blame you
for Isabella
not choosing his son,
you took matters
into your own hands.
And employed an assassin
to poison me,
attack
the King and Queen,
and abduct
the Princess.
Luckily,
with the Templars' skill
in tracking
the Greek Fire --
left for them to find
by Altani --
your plans
were scuppered.
Apart from the tragic
and cruel murder
of Prince Lluis,
killed as he gallantly tried
to rescue his bride
on their wedding day.
That was low.
Philip will understand
eventually.
Or the Pope.
Well, Boniface is clever,
you are right.
But you poisoned me.
If I am the target,
then I cannot also be
the perpetrator.
Amen.
Thank you.
You've made
a speedy recovery.
Thanks, no doubt,
to your prayers.
My prayers were
for you to find peace,
not to recover.
It's interesting that after
such heartbreaking turmoil,
everything's turned out
exactly as you wanted.
Your Holiness,
my thoughts have only ever
been for the Princess.
Her happiness
is my sole purpose --
my "holy grail,"
if you like.
King Philip: Suicide?
His plan failed.
He have no choice.
He must have known
the most horrible torture
was inevitable --
either in England
or in France.
He had nowhere to run.
This whole thing,
drummed up by one man?
It would appear so,
Your Grace.
And the assassin?
Dead,
along with the Prince.
Unfortunately, there was not
much left of either of them
by the time
the flames died down.
Send word to England.
We understand
his ambassador acted alone.
We hold no grudge,
and we extend
the hand of peace.
And the hand
of Isabella?
Yes.
Yes.
Once I thought our demons
were to be fought in Acre.
There were
clear lines --
the righteous
and the infidels,
the Holy Land
and here.
And now I don't know
who's righteous
and who's not.
And our battles are
being fought right here,
on French soil.
My own brother
fighting against our cause.
Everything
I've ever understood,
everyone
I've ever loved --
Godfrey, you...
Brother,
I need you to repent.
Please.
Tancrede,
let us be brothers again.
Do you really believe
God doesn't want the Grail
to be found?
If you believed you were right,
why did you act alone?
Why didn't you
come to me?
Would you have listened?
I have only a moment.
I must get back
to my daughter.
Thank you
for meeting me.
There is so much
to say.
You're with child --
my child.
Even saying those words
out loud,
I can scarcely
believe it.
Our child.
What of the Grail?
Your Templar vows?
Those haven't changed?
I'll find a way
for us to be together.
What way is that?
We can leave Paris.
And we can go somewhere,
anywhere.
Where would we go
that he couldn't find us?
And where you wouldn't
be a Templar?
I love you.
But what future does
the wife of the King
have with a Templar?
You have my child
growing within you.
No. I will have
the King's child,
and you will go back
to the Temple.
That is our future.
The wind is still
against you, Landry.
Rashid.
You wanted to talk.
