Knightfall (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - And Certainly Not the Cripple - full transcript

There is a place

all Templars go --
a tree where we leave our past.

-You want Navarre.
-Absolutely not!

I saw Roland having
this written --

a message.

A message to who?

Philip will raise
your child.

Our child
will not know you.

Wake up!

I'm not Godfrey.

I am not a traitor,
nor will I ever be.



Wait! I am the man
you're looking for.

I killed your son.

Go back to where
you first met Godfrey.

There, you will find
what you seek.

He's fooled you all!
He murdered Lluis!

You shall be hanged
until death takes you.

Guards!

De Nogaret!

Amb. Rodrigo: The Navarrese
have sent word to Paris

of the hostages
you've taken.

They will take it
as an attack on France.

I'm sure your cousin Joan
will not let it pass.

I should hope not.

So this is
their leader?



Yes.

Mercy, Your Grace.

The people of Navarre
want peace.

My grandfather
was Navarrese.

In his honor...

I will spare your life.

But if I release you,

how can I know
you will not once again

raise your sword
against me?

I give you my word as leader
of the village of Sanguesa,

we will not.

Forgive me
if I make certain.

Remove his hands.

No. No!

No, no!

You're the one
called Landry?

Young Landry: Might be.

Mother Superior tells me
you might be

the worst troublemaker
here.

Then she'll be glad to let me
leave to be your squire.

Gawain: It's definitely
the right place?

Rashid told me the Grail would
be where I first met Godfrey.

This is where
I first met Godfrey.

Hello, Mother.

Do you know this place?

How did it burn?

One of the children
was playing with a candle...

or so I heard.

Thank you.

It's over.

If the Grail was here,
it's ash.

I did everything
Godfrey told me.

I did everything
Rashid told me.

I followed the trail.

I was tortured.

I sent our brother
to his death.

Tancrede was right.

God never wanted
the Grail to be found.

God's grace be with you.

God's grace be with you.

God's grace be with you.

I haven't seen God's grace
for some time.

Let's be honest,
he hasn't seen mine, either.

There's a price
on your head.

Only say the word
and I shall be hanged.

I heard your master
was taken.

One can only assume
it was about the Grail.

Don't pretend you don't want to
find the grail as much as I do.

Or is this
your life now?

Bread for the bewildered?

Imagine if you did find
the Grail.

Wouldn't you like to swing
your sword in battle again?

He's given up.

We were sent
to an orphanage,

but it was burnt
to the ground.

There is no more trail
to follow.

It's over.

The Grail has been
"lost forever" before now,

only to show its face
soon afterwards.

Why would you want it?

Oh, I don't know.

The greater good.

Go.

Before they see you.

Landry.

Forgive me, Your Holiness.

I have failed you.

How so?

I was taken by a group

calling themselves
the Brotherhood of Light.

I have heard that name.

They are infidels.

Perhaps.

But if they are to be believed,
Godfrey was one of them.

Godfrey was a traitor?

I'm not sure.

His allegiance should have
been to God and to his Pope

and to his follow Templars --
not to infidels.

His loyalty
was to the Grail.

The Brotherhood has made it
their mission

to protect the Grail, to keep it
from the hands of men.

Oh!
They have no business!

Forgive me, Father.

I struck a bargain
with them.

I let them take Tancrede

in exchange for information
about the Grail.

Dear God.

Have you taken leave
of your senses?

They shared with me a clue
that Godfrey left,

something to which only
I would know the answer.

Which was?

The Grail...

was where
I first met Godfrey...

the orphanage where I was
left by my mother.

I went there immediately,
but it was burned.

And the Grail?

Gone.

I think it is dust,
and if it isn't,

then maybe this
Brotherhood of Light is right,

and God doesn't mean
for the Grail to be found.

You should have informed me

before you undertook
this journey.

Forgive me.

I merely wished to retrieve
the Grail as I promised.

And then what?

This Brotherhood
of Light...

I-I did not know...

...they wanted to protect it,

just as Godfrey had
before them.

You would have given the Grail
into the care of the infidels?

No.

I don't know.

Oh, Landry!

You have taken
leave of your senses.

Forgive me.

It is fortunate that you
did not find the Grail.

There is a chance
that I could still find it.

If somehow t-this information
is wrong --

maybe somebody moved the Grail
before the orphanage burned.

Landry...
go home to your Temple,

take your seat,
and do your job as Master.

As for this so-called
"Brotherhood,"

you're to have nothing further
to do with them.

Holy Father --

Get out.

Thank you.

Do not despair.

There's news
from the palace...

that might lift
your spirits.

The queen is with child.

My prayers are answered
to see you alive.

I thought you'd give me
the time...

to find a way for us.

Time?

My belly
is already showing.

My first duty is
to keep this child safe.

By denying
its true father?

In my darkest moment,
you appeared to me.

All I could think about
was you and our child.

King Philip: Landry.

Your Grace.

Had I known
you'd been captured,

I would have sent
the Royal Guard immediately.

Thank you, Your Grace.

God has smiled
upon us.

He has again blessed our union
with a child.

Congratulations,
Your Grace.

Dr. Vigevano is confident
the baby is a boy.

Come. Feel my son.

I don't think
the Master Templar wants --

Come.

Can you feel him?

Forgive me, Your Grace.

Urgent news.

Landry, I'm sorry,
excuse us.

What is it?

Navarre
has been attacked.

Attacked?! By who?

Pierre?

Can you read?

"I'm in Paris.
I need more men, I.V."

Where did you get this?

The girl -- Adelina.

She saw Roland
having it written.

It means he was
working for someone.

Chamberlain Marigny:
It is confirmed.

Queen Elena's armies have taken
hostages from Sanguesa.

Rally the dukes.

Our troops have to be mustered
within a fortnight.

Two weeks?!

They must leave
immediately!

My dear, to muster an army
is no small thing.

You need supplies,
horses, grain.

Rest assured,
we shall be swift.

Good. In the meantime,
I will set off for Navarre

and start to gather
the troops there.

Every able-bodied lad --

"Every able-bodied lad"?

I wasn't aware
this was amusing.

This is my homeland.

A battlefield is no place
for a woman,

let alone a woman
who is with child.

What kind of husband would I be
if I let you go?

What kind of queen would I be
if I did not defend my people?

Excuse my wife.

Her condition has
made her excitable.

This has nothing to do
with my condition!

My dear, you have no idea what
the blood of battle is like.

Neither do you.

Escort the queen
to her quarters.

Philip, I will not be sent
from the room.

It is for your own good.
Guards.

Is the queen awake?

I do not know, Sir.

Dear Lord, bless us.

Bless Jacques, our Grand Master.

Bless Boniface, our Pope.

And may He grant us all
Thy wisdom, amen.

Amen.

Brother Tancrede.

Forgive me, Master,

I am to give the report.

Of course.

Proceed, Brother Anthony.

Thank you, Master.

Our expenditure this month
has fallen to 8,000.

The value of our assets
remains constant at 968,000.

The King's army is almost ready
to defend Navarre.

There are rumors that
in defiance of the king,

Queen Joan
has already set off.

The queen
has gone to Navarre?

Yes, Master.

As you know,
the prisoner Roland

is wanted for more than just
the murder of the Temple Master.

He's wanted for the murder
of a noble family in Genoa

and our brothers
in the Temple there

will be collecting him
to face his charges.

I heard about
Catalonia's attack.

Have you also heard
about the queen's departure?

This is defiance.
This...

utter disregard
for my authority.

By God, Landry,
I cannot allow it.

I am her husband
and her king.

Your Grace,
allow me to help.

I can ride out
and bring her home.

No need.
The matter is in hand.

My governor there, De Rouvray,
he's a good man.

He will see to it that she does
not venture into harm's way.

Oh, I've been so foolish,
Landry.

I allowed myself to imagine

that things were improving
between us --

that the child was healing
our rift.

Forgive me, Your Grace,
but I doubt a child

can heal a marriage
with difficulties.

You say you want to
help me.

Anything, Your Grace.

In times of strife, my father
would sneak out of the palace

dressed as a commoner
to walk among the people.

And you wish to walk
among the people now?

No.

I wish to drink.

Drink or be gone.

I'm the Temple Master.

Drunkenness
is frowned upon.

Not tonight.

Tonight you're not a monk,
and I'm not a king.

Now drink.
To my miserable marriage.

She thinks I'm a coward,
you know?

She accused me
of never fighting in a battle.

A king has to strategize
from a proper distance...

you know, in -- in order to
observe the whole battlefield.

Who am I fooling?

A true leader fights shoulder
to shoulder with his men,

as you Templars do.

I have not done this.

Philip, you can't blame
yourself for that.

Well, who then can I blame?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Hey.
-Philip? Philip!

Let it go. Come on.

I always let it go.

You, there!

I suggest
you buy me another.

And I suggest
you suck my rod.

His sword is buckled
to his right.

He's gonna swing
with his left.

You duck, then you hit him
with all you've got.

All right?

Come on, lovely boy!

I saw.

Who do you work for?

Aaah!

Enough!

What do you think
you are doing?!

Roland had this letter written
before he was arrested.

At the end, it says "I.V."

I know that could be two letters
or a number,

but we need to tell
our Master --

Roland is no longer
our concern.

The Temple in Genoa is sending
knights to collect him.

Roland is wanted
for crimes there,

and there he will
face justice.

Oh, no!
What could be more important

than killing
a Temple Master?

He should stay here
in Paris.

It's not Godfrey's death
you seek to avenge, is it?

It's Marie's.

Parsifal, you must
submit to God.

Only then will you be worthy
of being a Templar.

Will you submit to him?

Yes, sir.

I will.

Extraordinary,
wasn't it?

It's extraordinary that you
walked out of there

with only a bloody lip.

Oh, it felt so good
not to hold back, huh?

To have free rein.

Ah, free rein.

What is it?

It takes setting aside the crown
to see things more clearly.

In the end, it is
those closest to you

who will betray you.

De Nogaret.

You were warned about
De Nogaret.

It's right under my nose.
I just...

I just couldn't see it.

Everyone
lies to the king.

Sometimes I think you're the
only friend I've got, Landry.

Never betray my trust.

I remember
you were a noble...

before joining
the Temple.

What was your name?

My given name was Audric,
the second Lord of Bonnechere.

Have you ever been
with a woman?

Uh, a few -- before my oath.

You smell of ale.

You've been drinking.

Did you ever want
any children?

A third
Lord of Bonnechere?

I suppose.

When I heard God's call,
then I answered.

It is possible to hear
God's call and ignore it.

Landry

What have you done?

Who is she?

It no longer matters.

I gave her up for this search
for the Grail.

But I still can't get her
out of my heart.

If it's over,
then let it be over.

She's having my child.

Another man will raise
that child as his own.

Jesus' name, Landry!

I must resign as master.

You cannot resign
before finding the Grail.

The Grail is dust.

If God intended for us
to have it,

we would have found
something at the orphanage.

He's testing your faith.
You must forget

this woman and the child
and resume the search.

I never knew my parents.

And their absence
haunted me.

The idea that I would inflict
that same pain on a child...

Look at me.
I am wracked with pain.

All you've ever known
is this.

What do you know
about being a father?

I know enough
not to abandon my child.

Turn your back
on the Grail,

and you will be
abandoning God.

No, Brother, it is God
who keeps abandoning me.

I took something he
believed belonged to his people.

Is that
what's in your box?

Never mention
that box again.

Understand?

You.

What are you doing here?

Looking for
a handsome lad like you...

Landry.

How do you know my name?

I heard the cripple say it
in the street.

You know something,
don't you?

You want to know
who burnt down the orphanage.

It wasn't a child.

And it wasn't
an accident.

Who was it?

Me.

Brother Gawain.

This was a mistake.

Believe me, I know what it is
like to be on the inside...

and yet to feel so alone.

Tell me.

Landry has broken
his vows.

Master
"holier than thou" Landry?

He's been with a married woman,
one who bears his child.

Even when he demoted me,
I respected his decision

because he was the best one
to lead us after Godfrey.

And now?

Does he still deserve
your loyalty?

He's the only one
who can find the Grail,

so, yes,
I remain loyal to him.

Tell me something...

If Landry found the Grail,
would he let you drink from it?

Yes.
He knows how much I suffer.

He's not fallen that far.

He would not
deny me that.

Your master seems to deny
everyone but himself.

And if you think
he would deny you,

then you must ask
yourself...

how much does it
mean to you

to have a chance of drinking
from the Grail?

And how far
would you be willing to go?

What do you mean?

Oh, I...

I merely raise
the question.

Halt!

What is it?

Navarre, Your Grace.

Why did you burn down
the orphanage?

I'd like some wine,
please.

I know you monks have
the good stuff here.

Claret.

Now ask your questions.

Why did
you burn it down?

It's what Godfrey instructed me
to do, if he should be killed.

Anyone getting as far
as the orphanage

was to believe
they were too late.

So the Grail is not lost.

Why did you not sa
something before?

Because what I say
is meant for your ears only.

All of these men around you,
once you have the Grail,

they will all try
to take it from you.

You can't trust
any of them --

not the Turcopole,
not your friend the King,

and certainly not
the cripple.

Your Grace.

I am Governor De Rouvray.
Welcome to Navarre.

What is Queen Elena's
position?

She is camped five leagues
to the east.

And the Merinos
are convening here?

Yes, Your Grace.

Good.
I wish to speak with them.

Are you certain,
Your Grace?

Of course.

I must speak
with the nobles.

As you wish.

But be warned -- they may not
wish to speak with you.

-Who's this?
-From the Temple in Genoa,

sent to collect
the prisoner.

You're not supposed to
be out here.

Why?
Am I prisoner?

I don't know what you are
to come here,

telling me my brothers
can't be trusted.

They can't.

But you can be?

Whom to trust?
Tricky, isn't it?

If I had wanted to kill you,

I would have done it
at the orphanage.

Or I could do it now.

Your throat would be cut
the moment you tried.

You're feeding
the wrong one.

The black wolf
and the white wolf,

you're feeding
the wrong one.

You know that story?

Oh, you think you're
the only person he told.

Of all people,
you can trust me.

I am the clue that Godfrey
meant you to find.

I'll take you
to the Grail.

You know where it is?

Where?

You'll see.

We set off
in the morning.

Hey, what's going on?

Where are you going?
Oi!

No messing!
You have to get me to Genoa!

Oi, I'm talking to you!

It's time to make
your penance.

I've never talked, lad,
and I'm not starting now.

So don't waste your time.

Tell me who you work for,
and I'll let you find peace.

Or die a sinner

with no forgiveness.

Listen to me.

You don't want to
know who it is.

I met Marie
when I was 13 years old.

She was the most
beautiful thing I ever saw.

You don't know
these people.

Who is it?

They'll kill you.

I don't care.

Now tell me.

What's his name?

Who are you working for?

No mercies...

no mercy...

thy will be done...

Oh.

Lord...

hear me...

I beg.

There's no one listening.

In the name of Jesus!

There's no one listening!

No!

You trust her?

I have no alternative.

If she does lead us
to the Grail...

if we do find it, would you
allow me to drink from it?

Gawain, you told me we must
bear the pain God gives us.

This is different.

Godfrey himself used the Cup
to heal his brother.

Godfrey had the Grail
since Acre.

If he thought
you should use it,

he would have
given it to you.

The Grail is meant
to heal the world...

not you or me.

Gawain?

It is easy
for you to say.

You have not lost
as much as I have.

I haven't?

Are you sure?

If you value our friendship,

you'll never ask this
of me again.

Six hours on the cross.

Then death.

And the resurrection.

Your suffering
was greater than mine.

But at least yours ended
quickly.

Every step...

every waking moment
is agony untold.

Every time I ride a horse,

every time I draw a sword,

and I can show none of it.

Lord, I know I am a Judas.

I have lived with the guilt
of my betrayals.

But now I find our master,

your chosen one,
is a vile sinner.

And still he can do no wrong.

I have kept my vows,

and now you show me
that those vows are worthless?

Oh.

I see.

This is your plan for me.

You have burdened me with this
because it is my destiny.

You needed Judas to betray
Jesus, and you need me.

It is your will that Landry
not give me the Grail

because you want me
to take it from him.

And take it I will!

Why is
the cripple here?

He's my brother.

I trust him with my life.

Our scouts...

Our scouts say
Queen Elena's army...

sits 4,000 strong,
ready to invade.

How many troops
can you raise?

1,000 men, 400 horses.

Do not forget France's
reinforcements, my Lords.

And where are France's
reinforcements?

Did Your Grace bring the French
army in under her dress?

My husband, your king,

was mustering thousands
of troops when I left.

You have my word,
reinforcements are coming.

Your word?

And who are you?

This is not your home --
nor has it ever been.

Navarre is where my family
have been born

and buried for 400 years.

You are a Merino.

My grandfather, Theobald,
gave you that title.

You have your noble lands
because my family bestowed them!

It is true that I do not know
this country as well as I wish.

But I know my cousin.

Once she learns I'm here

and the army of France
is behind me,

she will back down.

Make way!

Clear a path!

A delivery has arrived
for her Grace.

A gift from Queen Elena
of Catalonia.

Send a message to Queen Elena.

Tell her I wish to parley.

I know
what you're thinking.

It won't work.

What?

Draw your sword against him,
and he'll kill you.

Why would I draw my sword
against my master?

I don't know.

Why would you draw your sword
against your master?

Mother Superior.

I don't understand.

Landry, it was always
my privilege to care for you.

And you have grown into the man
I knew you would become.

I'm very happy
to see you.

This is as far
as I'll go.

?

That's it?

15 years I've waited
for this moment.

I thought you would have
waited till the ride home.

I'm taking the Grail

because you were never
going to give it to me.

Is this really
about the Grail?

I am crippled because
of my loyalty to you.

You are crippled
because it's God's will.

Do not speak to me
of God's will.

Was it his will that you took
a woman from her husband?

Is it His will that you've
abandoned your child?

Don't push me, Brother.

You are no brother
of mine.

You're not fit
to be a Templar.

You're a hypocrite.

And you're a liar.

You gave Tancrede
over to the Saracens

knowing what they would
do to him.

You're our master,
our leader,

and you spat on every value
we hold dear.

You hate yourself more
than you could ever hate me.

Your leg is the least
of your problems.

Draw your sword.

No.

Defend yourself.

-Oh! Oh!

Gawain...

Don't make me kill you.

I'm a better Templar
than you.

I'm a better man
than you.

Do it.

This cup has made madmen
of us all.

You a a better Templar
than me.

Because if I was a better
Templar,

I would kill you.

There you go.
Enjoy it while you can.

We'll all be starving
when war comes.

War with whom,
England?

Where have you been?

Catalonia.

The queen rode out of Paris
and into battle.

And with child.

The queen
is with child?

Five months or so,
they say.

Then there'll be
another prince or princess,

then taxes will go up --
again.

Royal bastards.

Landry has been
with a married woman.

One who bears his child.

To Landry,
our new Temple Master.

A royal bastard indeed.

Congratulations.

These sisters have kept
the secret of the Grail

for 15 years.

Thank you. The Pope himself
will hear of your service.

No, wait!
The cripple?

You were right.

Is he dead?

I will deal with him.

No. When he wakes,
you let him go.

He's a broken man,
and we are still Christians.

There are things now
that you must do.

You must take the Grail
to a new safe place.

There are places Godfrey
had prepared for this day.

No.
No more hiding places.

I will take it to the Temple.
No.

And from there,
I will take it to the Pope.
No!

The Temple is not safe for you
or the Grail.

The Temple is the safest place
for me and for the Grail.

I'm gonna have to go
with you.

Why?

Because you're making a mistake.
Because --

Because this will be
the death of you.

And because...

I'm your mother.

Pierre.

Where's the master?

Is he back yet?

No, why?
What's happened?

It's Roland.
I took him from the Temple.

I killed him.

Parsifal,
why would you do that?

It doesn't matter.
I know who he's working for.

You do? You know?

He told me. And it means
we cannot trust anyone.

I need to warn Landr--
