------------ The Hostpitaler:You know this place, my lord? Godfrey:(???) I know all of it.
The Hospitaler :The blacksmith is the man you seek. His name is Balian. But now he mourns. The burial we passed at the crossroad was for his wife. Her child died. She was overcome with grief and killed herself.
Godfrey:You still advise what you advised upon the road? The Hospitaler :I do, My lord.
the German: What does that say? Balian : "What man is a man who does not make the world better."
Godfrey:Leave me with this man. (To Balian) I am sorry that you lost your wife and child. I ... also have lost. Some say Jerusalem is the very center of the world for asking forgiveness. For myself, I call it here, now.
I knew your mother. To be courteous I should say that it was against her objections. But I did not force her. I loved her in my fashion. Balian, I'm your father. I have forgiveness to ask of you.
I am Godfrey, the Baron of Ibelin. I have one hundred men at arms in Jerusalem. If you come with me, you will have a living and ... will have my thanks, there it is.
Balian : Whoever you are, my lord, my place is here. Godfrey:What made it your place is now dead. You will never see me again. If you want anything of me, take it now. Balian :I want nothing.
Godfrey:I am sorry for your trouble. God protect you. 〔いったん去りかけて馬を返し〕 Jerusalem is easy to find. Come to where the men speak Italian, and continue, till they speak something else. We go by Messina. Good bye. ------
Godfrey:(to his men) Wait here. (to Balian) You've come to kill me? Even these days, it is not easy. Well ?
Balian : I have done ... murder. Godfrey:Haven't we all ? Balian : Is it true, that in Jerusalem I can erase my sins? And those of my wife? Is it true? Godfrey:We can find out together. Show me your hand. ----- Godfrey:〔剣をバリアンに与えて〕Take it up. Let's see what you're made of. The Hospitaler : His hand is hurt, My lord. Godfrey:I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle. 〔剣で打ち合う〕 Never use a low guard. You fight well, let's work on your skills. Take a high guard, like this. Italians call it "la posto de falcone(?)", the guard of a hawk. Strike from high, like this. Do it. Sword straighter. Step back(?). Bend your knees. Sword straighter. Defend yourself. 〔再開、バリアンの喉元に鍔を突きつけて〕 Blade isn't the only part of the sword. Attack !
the German:I have your leave? 〔交替〕 (to Ballian) Pay attention. Ein! Zwei! Drei! ...
〔追っ手現われる〕 Godfrey:What's this? Captain?:You have with you the man, Balian, who killed a priest. I am charged by the Lord bishop to bring him back.
Balian : What he says is true. They have the right to take me. the German:I say he did nothing of the charge. If you say he's guilty, we fight. God will decide the truth of it. Godfrey:Our German friend is closer to (???) law.
Captain?:Just give him to me. I'll fight for something else. He is a murderer. Godfrey:So am I. Whoever dies here today, you will certainly be among them. Captain?:You are a lord. I must give you the road. 〔去ったふりで、襲撃開始。戦闘〕
Godfrey:Thank the bishop for his love !!〔剣を振り下ろし、脇に刺さっていた矢を折ってしまう。苦痛の声〕 -------- 〔戦死者たちに祈りを捧げ、傷の手当て〕 The Hospitaler : So you broke the arrow. If the ribs are broken, marrow may enter the blood, in which case you take a fever and die. Or a cyst will form, you will live. You are in the hands of God.
Godfrey:I can miss more wine. (To Balian) It was not that they had no right to take you. It was the way they asked. Balian :They had the right to take me. Godfrey:So do I. --------- 〔メッシーナ近くの野営地〕 Guy : Who is this? Godfrey: My son. Guy : Would I have fought you when you were still capable of making bastards. Godfrey: I knew your mother when she was making hers, but fortunately you're too old to be one of mine. Guy : All will be said. --------- 〔僧院宿舎にて、横たわるゴドフリー〕 Godfrey: Do you know what lies in the Holy Land ? A new world. A man who in France had not a house is, in Holy Land, the master of the city. He who was the master of the city, begs in the gutter. There, at the end of the world, you are not what you are born, but what you have it in yourself to be.
Balian : I have to find forgiveness. That's all I know.
Godfrey:Whatever your position, you are of my house. That means, you will serve the king of Jerusalem.
Balian : What could a king ask of a man like me?
Godfrey:A better world than has ever been seen. A kingdom of conscience. A kingdom of heaven. There is peace between Christians and Muslims. We can live together. Or, between Saladin and the king, we try. Did you think that lay at the end of the crusade? It does. My son, you are all that survives me. Do not disappoint me. --------- The Hospitaler:Get down on your knees.
Godfrey: Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth, always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
That is your oath. 〔バリアンの頬を打つ〕 It hurts, so you'll remember it.
The Hospitaler:Rise a knight, Baron of Ibelin.
Godfrey:Defend the king. If the king is no more, protect the people.
The Hospitaler:This time you confess to holy God, not your son. Are you sorry for all your sins?
