(バリアン入室“Come forward.”から“...that I was a leper.”までの台詞は変更なし)
Baldwin IV: Come, sit.(チェス盤をはさんだ席へバリアンを導きつつ) [座るがよい] Do you play? [チェスの心得は?]
Balian: No. [ありません]
Baldwin IV: The whole world is in chess. [盤上には この世の縮図があるのだよ] Any move can be the death of you. [どの一手が 命取りになるやも知れぬ] Do anything except remain where you started, and you can't be sure of your end. [最初から全く動かぬのでない限り 結末の予想はできない]
Were you sure of your end once? [自分の最後がどうなるか 昔はわかっていたか?]
Balian: I was. [はい 以前は]
Baldwin IV: What was it? [どのような最後を予想していた?]
Balian: To be buried a hundred yards from where I was born. [生まれた村の墓地に納まるものと]
Baldwin IV: And now? [それが今は?]
Balian: Now I sit in Jerusalem and look upon a king. [エルサレムで 国王様にお目見えを許される身]
Baldwin IV: (笑う)
When I was 16, I won a great victory. [十六の時 余は大いなる勝利をおさめた] I felt in that moment I would live to be 100. [あの瞬間には、百歳までも生きられる気がしたものだ] Now I know I shall not see 30. [今では三十までも無理だと わかっている]
None of us choose our end, really... [人は誰も 死に方を選ぶことはできないし] or what hand will guide us there. [どんな手に導かれて そこへ至るのかも選べない]
A king may move a man. [王は 人を動かしもしよう] A father may claim a son. [父が 息子を得ることもあろう](バリアンを指す)
That man can also move himself. [だが人は みずからを動かすこともできるのだ] And only then does that man truly begin his own game. [そうなって初めて 自分の戦いを始めたことになる] Remember, how so ever you are played, or by whom, [覚えておくがよい 誰にどう動かされようとも] your soul is in your keeping alone... [魂だけは 他者に委ねるものではない]
even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. [王や権力者が そなたを操ろうとしてもだ]
When you stand before God, you cannot say [神の前に立った時に言いわけはきかぬ] "but I was told by others to do thus," [“命じられてやったことです”だの] or that "virtue was not convenient at that time". [“あの時には道徳にかまっていられず”だのと] This will not suffice. [そんな申し開きは通じない] Remember that. [それを忘れぬように]
Balian: I will. 【はい】
Baldwin IV: You know what this is? [これが何かわかるか?]
Balian: A fortification. [砦ですね] Baldwin IV: What do you think of it? [どう思う?](バリアン図面をじっくり見る) You disapprove. Well, how would you improve it? [やはり問題があるか どう直せばよいかな?]
Balian: A cross. Or better, a star, like this. [十字型に あるいは星型にできればもっと良いかと] That way no part of the fortress may be approached without beng exposed to fire from another part. [どの面を攻められても その敵を別の壁面から攻撃できます]
Baldwin IV: Yes, I like this. [なるほど 良いな] Your walls are more difficult to adress. Very good. [攻めるに難いかたちの砦か 実にいい]
You will go to your father's house at Ibelin, your house now, [では イベリンにある父君の館、いや 自分の家に行くがよい] And from there protect the pilgrim road. [そこを拠点に巡礼路を守護せよ] Safegurd in particular the Jews and the Muslims. [特にユダヤ教徒とイスラム教徒の安全に配慮するように] All are welcome in Jerusalem. [エルサレムはすべての民を受け入れる] Not only because it's expedient but because it is right. [それが得策というだけでなく 正しいことだからだ]
Protect the helpless. [無力な者たちを守ってやれ] And then, perhaps one day [そうして いつか余が無力となった時には] when I am helpless, you will come and protect me. [側(そば)近くに来て 余の身を守ってもらうとしようか]
---------------- ひとこと: この後のBalian退出のシーンも注目です。台詞は無いですが。
