That's it.
Al Ghouti.
Why is he helping us?
Al Ghouti.
How long has he been locked up?
A few days and nights.
Help him get out of here.
What is this?
Ms. Rikissa ordered us to get blood out as often as possible.
I'm not here to scold you.
Cecilia...
There is no point in being stubborn,
You must accept your destiny.
Mrs. Rikissa... only wants the best for you.
This bastard was born in sin.
My dear,
give me my baby... I want my baby! Not!
No!
Opening greetings.
You saved our life, Knight Templar.
Thank you,
I only do my job.
You speak our language.
Then you will understand that I don't want to be...
is indebted to a Christian.
God really moves in a mysterious way.
Only he knows why he sent the enemy to save us.
You can kill us easily when you kill bandits.
The bandits have robbed a lot of Pilgrims and this is our mission to protect them.
Don't take other people's lives.
It's sacred in God's eyes.
Save on the cause of the truth.
Al Ghouti,
I've heard of you. You are a great warrior.
I am Yussuf, and this is my brother Fahkr.
We are traders on the way to Cairo.
Taking this road Dead Sea without escort
This is the shortest route.
But it's not the safest.
We have vowed not to take weapons against each other,
so let's be honest.
You are a warrior like us.
Leave us
I will go to the horses.
Do you know who I am?
You are Youssaf Salah-al-Din al-Ayyube.
What we know as Saladin.
And you are not afraid?
You have given me your words, as I have given.
You are a gentleman, not like your brothers.
How can you speak our language?
I've been here for years.
And you don't Want to go home?
Dia-
Cecilia!
Yes, mother.
I have...
Free yourself, my son.
I have...
I have been disobedient and brave outside the monastery's courtyard.
There is a girl who sings.
He spoke to me, Father.
That is the end of your confession, my child?
All my sins, I forgive you.
Te absolvo. On behalf of the Father,
and Children, and the Holy Spirit.
Sit down.
Arn, listen. You did not make any mistakes.
You are an adult now,
sooner or later you will have it to experience life outside these walls.
Outside world, Father,
- I know a little about that. - Yes, yes but you better get used to it.
That is the will of your mother and God
You must be brought here in this monastery.
- Father Henri... - Filia mea.
He and your father have promised You are a child for God.
He said it was God's will.
You have been sick, so they pray for your life,
and God gave them miracles...
So that promise is sacred trust.
We cannot oppose God's will.
But I am reluctant to raise a child to become a monk.
But who said that God sent a boy here to become a monk?
Hold tight,
and now... aiming
and now trying to reach the target.
Very good!
Good... Again... Good... More...
Very good... Hey, look!
Always in my eyes.
Leave.
Arm
You see!
Reading is the foundation of all knowledge.
What...?
Where does the hand feel most comfortable?
Second.
Brother Guilbert, Why are you so good at fighting?
I used to be much better first.
Again.
You seem to train it become a warrior.
Is that entirely wise?
I only reinforce that skill
God has given him.
I'm not sure you're ready,
but you. Now...
You must call God.
Brother Guilbert and I have discussed this
and we have reached a decision.
It's time for you to go to go home, Arn.
You have to go back to your family.
On Hoc Signo Vinces.
In this sign, you must win.
Before I came here, for this...
a peaceful monastery, I sew in another order:
God's holy army... Templar Knights.
For twelve years
I fought this sword in the Holy Land.
With this sword no one has ever beaten me.
You may never draw it in anger or use it for your own benefit.
It must serve God's good purpose.
Your cattle graze on my land.
My cattle are grazing there, that's right.
Are you not aware of the limits?
- I know where my cattle can graze. - Thailand is not yours.
The land in Forsvik always belongs to our clan.
We will see what the Council of Elders...
have to say about that.
See you there... liar!
And who are you?
Eskil...
Father...
Arn?
What is evil...?
I don't recognize you.
It's nice to be back with you.
- Magnus. - Brosa.
Eskil...
And Arn It's nice to see you back at Arnas.
You haven't changed, Uncle Brosa.
The monks have you for years.
Are you taught to read?
I understand, so you can read...
Now for the land dispute between Magnus Folkesson
and Emund Ulvbane.
I understand that Magnus Folkesson is willing to settle down.
That's the problem.
And I'm willing to pay Emund Ulvbane the amount of 30 pieces of silver.
That is more than one that can be asked.
For peace between neighbors is worth much higher than silver.
Settlements have been received.
As the Board has decided,
I must obey.
But it's a shame that silver exceeds honor and truth.
It's also a shame to be obliged to to deal with a man without honor.
You, Magnus Folkesson...
You are not human.
And your sons aren't better.
They are only weak daughters, a nun and a beer keg.
Mark my words,
King Sverker planned this...
He whispered the insult in the ears of Ulvbane.
Ulvbane knows every word the letter!
The Sverker clan wants to weaken us.
I hope there is a way out.
But public humiliation must be corrected by law through one battle.
Is there no other way?
I will fight with him tomorrow.
May God protect me.
Don't despair.
They haven't buried me yet.
Let the fighters advance.
This sword is a blessed sword.
Arm
It's too late, he has accepted the challenge.
Do I have to fight a nun?
I have never found your father to be a coward.
- Death to Sverker! - Stop him,
Arn! Kill him! Kill him!...
Kill, kill, kill...!
Arm
Arn, Algot Palsson is here.
He brought his daughter.
That's Cecilia.
Welcome, Algot. What brings you here?
We are nearby, so...
I... I just want to see that place.
What did you say?
You have stolen my head.
You have stolen my head with one of your eyes.
I'm sure you stole mine,
Arn Magnusson.
Brosa,
what's wrong?
We talked to Algot.
He said you ran away with his youngest daughter.
He was promised to Sverker.
It is not wise to give his ideas.
His father owes to Sverkers.
Yes, and they were angry by the defeat of Ulvbane,
We can't risk more problems now!
Algot cannot give his daughter to the enemy of the King.
Cecilia...
Cecilia!
I don't want a Sverker...
I want to be yours, Arn.
The Virgin Mother is on our side.
Nothing can separate us My beloved brother, There is something I want to say to you.
I got engaged to Arn Magnusson.
What's the problem?
I know that...
What do you know?
I can't afford to pay for two marriages.
I will never leave this place.
Don't say that!
We will not leave you here.
I'm sorry, Cecilia.
I'm happy for you.
And there's more...
That same night, before he met Cecilia,
he has knowledge about me.
You understand that
This won't be the end of the problem, right?
Most Lord Pastors,
This is with a heavy head. I write these words,
but in these difficult times,
we from the Sverker clan must be united.
So I was forced to put pen on paper.
By way of recognition,
I get important information for our relatives
relating to young people who embarrass the King's best fighters,
Such actions are not easily redeemed.
Arn Magnusson, from Arnas,
and Cecilia Algotsdotter, Pal's Farm... is,
from today onwards, is excluded.
No pastor in all of West Gothia might have anything to do with them.
They were sentenced to for committing penance at the monastery
Varnhem and Gudhem...
for half the time - 20 years.
Cecilia.
Arn.
Cecilia.
No matter what they say, I never lie with your sister.
I have never loved someone else.
I swear by all that is holy come for you.
Cecilia.
I will wait for you.
Cecilia Algotsdotter!
No, don't make me! Not!
Prayer and work, Cecilia...
That's what is in front of you.
If you imagine that you live here will become...
comfortable as before,
You are very wrong.
You are surrounded by by Sverkers now,
and you will do penance.
Look at me.
Look at me!
I will tame you, Cecilia Algotsdotter.
Multi injecting vocati, pauci vero electi.
Guilty or not, you've done it Punished for atrocities
and no one can pick up that sentence...
But you will not stay here in Varnhem.
I have written to the Bishop
and he has agreed to our request.
Under the name Arn de Gothia, You will travel first to Rome,
and from there to the Holy Land...
- Father, I... - You will become a Knight Templar, Arn.
A soldier in God's service.
Daydream again?
I think you think your lover will come for you.
But that will never happen.
Arn Magnusson was sent to the Holy Land, to the Crusades.
That's a lie!
You will never see it again.
De Gothia.
- sir. - Come back as soon as possible?
I believe you have finished your mission?
I have, Grandmaster.
- But I have bad news to report - Oh!
- Saladin is here. - What!
He can march in Jerusalem anytime.
- This is impossible! - Saladin's troops...
spread throughout the country.
Of course we will do it have heard something - if he gathers soldiers. - Gentlemen,
Saladin is here and he is sure of his victory.
I just talked to the king of Jerusalem and spy reports that Saladin was in Damascus.
No more!
Grandmaster,
I don't know what De Gothia hopes
to achieve with this spread rumor...
Who told you this, de Gothia?
- An eyewitness. - Who's telling you?
A man I trust.
So you saved Saladin's life and then you sit and share the bread.
I gave him my words.
You give him your words.
Now, what are you studying?
He heads south.
That's where the attack will come.
I will tell the king. We must prepare a siege.
Tell me de Gothia,
What kind of man is he, our enemy.
She's like us. A man from his words.
I am happy that God has given me this opportunity to get to know my enemy.
You respect it.
That won't stop I fight him, sir.
It's a shame You have to lose this war.
- I have vowed to win. - Me too,
and we will immediately see which one of us is right.
Cecilia,
I know your story.
You are no longer alone.
Al Ghouti. I will speak only to Al Ghouti,
- What happened here, - I will speak only to Al Ghouti.
Who is this?
- I will speak only to Al Ghouti. - What are you doing here?
Al Ghouti? I will speak only for Al Ghoutil
- I will speak only to Al Ghoutil - Al Ghouti!
- What do you want from him? - I will speak only for Al Ghoutil
AI Ghoutil
There is another Cecilia among us.
Cecilia Blanka.
Come here.
This Cecilia will be known starting now as Blanka.
On your first night here,
You talked to Cecilia Algotsdotter.
Now stand there...
Helena.
Forward.
Three lashes. On behalf of the Father,
Child, and Holy Spirit.
Sit down.
I hope God has united us in a more pleasant situation.
Me too.
I am indebted to you, Al Ghouti.
You will lose this war.
You know that.
And he will come for me soon.
Hopefully he will bring news from the Crusades.
Arn...
Does anyone have news?
I don't know anything about Arn.
But little Magnus is fine.
Magnus?
Your child.
Didn't they tell you?
You don't know?
Wicked Sverker Witch!
Magnus... Is that the name?
Thank you.
She's alive!
The King of Jerusalem sent his blessings.
The true cross!
Thank you, De Ridefon. We appreciate the kindness of the King.
And we will need protection since Saladin
already on my way to Jerusalem.
Grandmaster de Torroja.
The battle for Jerusalem does not have to be fought in Jerusalem.
- What do you mean? - Saladin's army... very good,
but that also means it moves slowly.
What gives us time to prepare for the siege.
Which gives us time to stop before he reaches Jerusalem.
To save time, Saladin will take the road across Mont Gisard.
There are shortcuts there used by Bedouins.
- I think you know that place? - Yes, I've been there.
It's narrow through mountains.
Saladin will never expect us to deal with it there.
Ambush can be done by Saladin many soldiers are harmed.
Grandmaster!
We have no proof that Saladin will choose like that.
Except of course de Gothia...
has intelligence from one more "secret source".
De Ridefort. It's not the time or the place for personal fights.
De Turenne, what do you think?
This is a wise strategy.
We can avoid siege, if God wants
We will get the power out there at once.
We have nothing to lose, but everything to win.
my Lord.
Arn de Gothia.
Meeting that you can't already...
interpreted as anything apart from God's will.
You must lead our brothers in this battle.
You will be in command.
I am honored, Grandmaster.
We will wait for the ambush here.
Sand storms will soon befall us.
That would be madness fighting with this!
This is a blessing from God.
Saladin will be surprised.
Get off!
sir!
├éΓé¼┼ôOwn.
You have to send more troops.
Sound a retreat!
Speak the retreat!
Sound a retreat!
You have struggled well.
Thank you, we have lost
our biggest enemy and defend Jerusalem.
You have sewn our order faithfully and I want to make sure
that you receive a legitimate reward when the time comes.
De Gothia...
When your time is due,
This is your way out of here.
God will guard you until then.
Cecilia Blanka,
I'm here to pick you up.
Knut Eriksson has taken over the throne.
I will take you to the Royal Castle.
You must be a Queen.
Huger Brosa '
Thank you for caring about my son.
His name is Magnus and he almost became a man now.
What does he look like?
What does he like to do?
- Did he ride? - Yes, he goes up...
- Does he know...? - Not,
My sin towards you. I want to destroy your happiness
and Arn Magnusson shared.
I tried to punish you because I never had love.
You are a good woman, Cecilia.
Good and forgiving.
Your prayer may be shorter My time in Purgatory.
Can you forgive me?
Only God can forgive you.
I curse you, Cecilia Algotsdotter!
I curse you and Arn Magnusson both!
I have received the news
that Saladin and his army have set up camp here,
by Lake Tiberias.
There they wait for reinforcements.
We will march straight to Tiberias and surprised him.
- Is that clear? - Tuan,
there is no drop of water on the way to Tiberias.
It's hotter than hell out there.
I have to agree with de Gothia.
It will take three days to cross the desert Saladin's army is bigger than us,
and he has water.
We can't meet him in the desert That's exactly what Saladin thought and that's why we have to defeat it.
I have many reasons to trust his judgment.
We want new ones, young abbess in our monastery.
And now we have an empty position, you might say...
Abbess of Gudhem, how do you like that sound? Your own monastery?
Thank you, Your Majesty. This is a very good offer.
But I can't or don't expect to take an oath.
No?
My redemption time is almost over.
I have received my punishment.
On the next full moon, I will leave Gudhem
Monastery and go to the Queen,
to wait for me to get engaged in the castle.
Say it to Brosa.
sir.
De Gothia.
I want you to read this.
This is a respectable debit, signed by Grandmaster Torroja.
The day before my time here is due.
I am well aware, de Gothia, that my predecessor really thinks you are
for several reasons,
but for me you are just another subordinate.
I don't think that you will mourn my departure.
- Departure? - My desecration is over.
Departure?
When we almost fell in love Saladin once and for all?
Departure!
Well, you are free to go.
But if you leave, You will go as a deserter.
- Stop it. - Stop it.
We raise our tent here.
Teacher, we can't set up camp here.
We need to find water.
The men are tired. Lift the tent!
Sir, the Templar Knights will break the camp at dawn.
They have gathered a great army south of the Horn of Hattin.
They plan to meet us in the desert After the big defeat came big win.
Stupid, they are destined to perish.
You don't bring much with you back to the world,
Cecilia Algotsdotter.
The King and Queen are waiting for you at the Royal Castle.
And I have sent Magnus there too.
So you know he knows?
Yes, now he knows.
I heard you refused Bishop's offer.
I understand if you need time...
I already have all the time I need.
Blanka!
I am very happy to see you!
- Nice to meet you finally, Cecilia. - King Knut.
- This is for you. - Thank you.
Magnus?
Mother?
Magnus,
don't just stand here in the rain.
You must be wondering.
Your father...
Your father and me...
I know. You don't have to...
Brosa says he's dead.
Brosa doesn't know anything.
He lives.
- He lives in my prayer. - In mine.
where am I?
Damascus.
Why do I live?
Ask my brother.
He is the one who saw you.
The salute that you defeated, the king who won.
Opening greetings,
my opponent is the most feasible.
Sit down.
I have Jerusalem in my hands.
The city will fall when I want it.
To show mercy is the sign is a great king.
Christians kill everyone when takes the holy city.
My people will want the same thing.
If you choose the path of revenge
Christians will return in greater numbers than before
and the war will never end.
You speak wisely, Al Ghouti.
If all our enemies are like you,
it will be difficult for us to win this war.
Maybe someday
we can share this great city,
all men are the same.
Accept this dream of peace and unity...
with you home.
It's time for you to return home and keep your promises.
I hope you won't do it just remember me
as an enemy, Al Ghouti.
No, my king, which I could never do.
My name is Ebbe Sunesson.
I bring news of friendship from the Sverker clan.
We must act beforehand Sverker clan.
Only a matter of time before they claimed the throne.
Let them come.
We are not strong enough now.
Pray, who is Queen's friend?
I'm Cecilia Algotsdotter.
He is a lay sister in Gudhem Abbey.
A nun?
He doesn't look like a nun.
That's my mom you're talking about.
Is that so, kid? And where is your father?
He is a Templar in the Holy Land.
Then you have my condolences.
What do you mean?
Jerusalem has fallen.
The Knights Templar slaughtered
like a dog. They are all...
Every last one.
- You lie! - Magnus!
I might sin from time to time,
but I never lied.
If you can beat me,
You can call me what you like.
Magnus, Magnus, calm down.
Let's make sense.
Our family has been struggling for generations.
We all lost brothers.
I don't think there is we want more bloodshed.
No, but we will like you to make peace with the Sverker clan.
If you expect me to give up the crown, you are very wrong.
If Sverker Karlsson wants a crown,
he will take it from you a long time ago.
No!
Is the King not feeling well?
Well, he will be in a better condition with less beer in him.
This is the best for everyone.
Don't go back to the monastery.
We will always be friends,
even if I use habits and crosses.
But I can't stay.
I have to devote my life to something.
The monastery is the only life I know.
Welcome back.
Cecilia.
What is that...?
That is you!
Mother...
Have we changed a lot?
Our souls don't change.
You are Cecilia that I remember.
Riders approaching!
So we meet again...
the famous Knight Templar...
or are you a farmer?
A very sweet house that you have built for you and your beautiful wife.
I suggest you send any message
You may have it immediately, without going down.
Watch him. Forest around here
not as safe as them.
Especially now as your King Knut is located on his deathbed.
He won't be able to hold the throne for longer.
How much time does he have?
I'm not sure,
but he bled in his feces, and it never bodes well.
The Sverkers have been made Ebbe Sunesson their commander.
And he has a Danish king behind him...
and Danish soldiers.
We are not ready to meet Denmark in battle.
There is only one solution.
What did you say?
I say there is only one solution.
One two three...
Good! Five six...
One two...
I have seen so many crimes.
So many deaths.
I pray to God never to see war again.
But if King Sverker draws his sword,
- war will attack us. - I'm here too.
I will be with you every second from the road.
God has a plan for you.
To go to war?
To make peace.
Sverker has declared war.
His troops will be here soon.
This will require more than the courage to defeat them.
We will be ready.
God is with you, Magnus.
I know you will be back.
Everything is ready.
I don't know... our people are scared.
Listen to me!
Set aside all doubts.
Believe!
Believe in our victory.
We chose this place.
Not Denmark and not Sverkers.
We chose this time,
not Denmark and not Sverkers.
Believe it.
God stands beside them who are strong in faith.
That's why we will win and peace will rule.
Horsemen! Forward!
They tried to scare us!
Prepare!
- Fill in! - Fill in!
Ready!
Wait...
Now!
This is a trap!
Now!
Prepare again!
- Fill in! - Fill in!
Now!
Costs!
For Norway!
Kill him!
Now leave!
I will never leave you again.
Are you hurt !?
Arn... Arn?
The Virgin Mother never left us.
I love you.
I love you
