Knightfall

Nearly 200 years ago, 9 knights founded our order.

We are the Knights Templar.

We protect the innocent.

We are men of honor.

We fight for the Holy Land.

We fight for the glory of God!

I have a responsibility to all the brothers.

If you cannot hold your own...

I hurt my leg protecting you!

Landry du Lauzon is sleeping with your wife.

Brother Gawain...

He had relations with a married woman

who now carries his child.

The King of France has sent mercenaries to kill us.

Let these men be in no doubt

that they have chosen a mighty opponent!

You taught me use my pain against my enemy.

If you ever loved me, spare his life.

You want to use my love to save your love?

Very well.

I'll spare his life...

- No! - ...and take yours, instead.

The child, I felt it move.

It's a girl!

Aah!

Philip!

Landry!

You killed Joan!

No, Landry. You killed her.

You betrayed me.

You betrayed us all.

I'm no longer the novice I once was.

God has forsaken you.

Shh.

Is this truly what you want?

I am an enemy of King Philip.

She will not be safe if she stays with me.

But she's your flesh and blood.

What would you have me do? Submit her to a life of peril?

I would see her grow up with her father.

A blessing you failed to receive.

Tancrede.

Honor my request.

She will grow up in a home far away from here.

And no one will know of her location.

What will you do now?

I will go to the Temple in Chartres,

make amends with our Templar brothers.

- Do you think that's wise? - Your meaning?

Many of our brothers died at Versailles.

Many at Chartres hold you accountable.

That's all the more reason I must seek their forgiveness.

Landry, you misunderstand me. They will not welcome you back.

Of course they will. I'm a Temple Master.

Of a Temple that no longer exists.

What am I if not a Templar?

You're a father.

You're a father.

I am unworthy of her.

I have to go to Chartres.

I have to make things right with our brothers.

I have to make things right with God.

Only then can I make things right with her.

Then you must go.

Forgive me.

God bless you.

God keep you.

God protect you.

I'll never forget this.

Your daughter... she will be baptized.

With what name?

Eve.

She will be called Eve.

Come on, Eve.

Hup!

Hup!

Hyah!

Who's there?

Landry du Lauzon, Master of the Temple at Paris.

Open the gate.

One moment, Master.

You're not welcome here.

- I'm a Temple Master. - You're nothing.

The Paris Temple fell because of you.

I will not see the same happen here!

You are expelled from the Order.

I'm expelled?

Grandmaster?

Grandmaster, please.

Brothers, please.

You betrayed the brotherhood.

All rights and claims as a Templar have been revoked.

And your sentence is banishment.

Open the gate! Open it!

We didn't let you in last week. Or the week before that.

The Grandmaster's made it clear you're not a Templar anymore.

It's all right. It's all right.

De Molay's granted your request.

He will consider your case for readmittance.

Brother.

Brother.

Aren't we going to the council chamber?

Only brothers are allowed inside the Temple.

Why are you allowing this?

Landry's the fool who left the gold in the Paris Temple.

He's unworthy of our consideration.

He is one of our most capable fighters.

For weeks, you have slept outside the Temple walls

with little to eat or drink,

begging to be allowed back into the brotherhood.

Why?

Because you are my family and my brothers.

And without you... I'm nothing.

I have nothing.

I know my mistakes.

I have failed as a Templar and as a man,

but please, allow me to atone for my sins

in the eyes of God... and all of you.

Landry's been corrupted by the Devil.

He slept with the king's wife

and sired a child with her.

That alone is reason for expulsion.

And, brothers, have none of you broken a vow?

Not one rule of our code?

It appears Brother Tancrede reveals more about himself

than he defends Landry.

Did not King Philip attack us because of Landry?

Have we forgotten our duty

to remove the wicked sheep from the flock, brothers?!

Oh, clearly, Brother Berenger and Brother Angus

have never made a mistake.

He broke the vows, Tancrede!

He must pay for his sins!

Brothers, please. Brothers.

Have we forgotten that he is the same man

who fought with us at Acre?

Have we forgotten how many lives he saved in the Holy Land?

I owe my life to him.

And I know that many of you do, too.

Now, Landry has made many mistakes,

and he must atone for them.

But I ask you who are we, as men of Christ,

if we do not give him the chance of redemption?

We are men of honor.

And he is not!

You talk of honor?

Silence!

I would not see our proceedings

devolve into mindless quarrel.

How do you respond?

I have brought great shame upon our house.

And I will take any steps that you will ask of me

to right those wrongs.

Brother Landry speaks with a penitent heart.

Yet I remain fixed in my doubt.

I have listened carefully to your words,

but the true measure of a man

are his deeds, not his words.

This man is unworthy of returning as a Templar.

In fact, I wouldn't even consider him as an Initiate.

Brother Talus once again shares his wisdom with us.

Thank you.

We will not vote for Landry's re-entry as a Templar.

We will vote for his re-entry as an Initiate.

Grandmaster.

I have made my decision.

Reflect on that before we reconvene to cast our vote.

De Nogaret, I hear Landry evades capture?

He does, Your Majesty,

but I have dispatched informants throughout the kingdom,

and I am confident they will be able to uncover his location.

The Paris Temple is mine,

but it is worth nothing to me, De Nogaret,

unless I seize their Temples at Arville and Chartres, as well.

That is where their wealth lies.

Gerard, how long until my army is ready to attack?

Not long, My Lord.

Do it, Father. They must pay for their offenses.

If I may, Your Majesty...

As your Royal Adviser, I must caution prudence.

Why?

The Templars maintain Pope Boniface's support.

To attack them would be to make enemies with Rome,

an act that could threaten to divide your kingdom

between those that follow the Vicar of Christ and you.

And possibly incite such action as a call loan on your debts.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

Patience is the only path.

They attacked me, De Nogaret.

They took up arms against my army.

And they will be dealt with.

Please, grant me a little time.

I believe I can find a way that fulfills both of your wishes.

Bring him in.

This knight has been spreading lies about you.

Pascale believes you killed Queen Joan.

Is this true?

Clearly you're mistaken

or you would have seen Landry du Lauzon

drive a sword into my pregnant wife's belly.
