Fire!
Find them!
l killed that man.
l've gotta live with that.
- ln here! - We found them!
- We found them, my lord! - Over here now!
- Come on! - Don't let them go!
Come on!
Go inside!
Go around the back.
- Shut up and move over there. - Come on.
- Burn it. - No.
- No, you can't do that! - Don't.
Chris, please get out of there. Chris!
Chris! My son's in there! Chris, get out of there!
Hold your man.
No! No!
All right, come on.
- Come on. - Chris, wait up.
- Come on. - Wait up.
- Claire! - Arnaut.
He is very grateful you returned his sister...
- You're English. - No, l'm Scottish.
Arnaut, he saved the life of one of your men.
- You're Scottish, huh? - Yes.
ln that case, l do not know how to express my gratitude.
Well, you can. Just keep her close and keep her safe.
- l can take care of myself. - Yes, that's obvious.
Please, do not let her out of your sight, especially tonight.
Do not worry, she will be well protected.
l must leave. l must return to Castlegard to search for my friends.
l need to ask you perhaps for a horse and a weapon.
You will not make it alive through the English lines.
They are moving from the village to La Roque. We attack tonight.
- You must not go back there. - l must try and find my friends.
l'm sorry.
Very well, l will give you what you ask for.
- Thank you again. - Thank you.
- Lady Claire... - Claire.
l wish we had met at another time.
Andre Marek.
Are you married?
No.
Arnaut?
Arnaut has dismounted, and he's with his sister.
Well done. ln fast, kill Arnaut and out.
And may God be with you.
All right, l have to get inside La Roque and find my dad.
- You'll never make it through. - l'll find a way.
There is no way. You'll get killed.
Oh, Jesus. Go, go.
- l don't have a choice. - Yes, you do.
There's another way.
- What, the tunnel? - Yeah.
You never found it. You don't know it exists.
- There's always been a rumor. - Yeah, but that's a rumor.
- My dad's life is on the line. - All of our lives are on the line.
Look, if that tunnel ever existed, it's going to exist now, 1357.
l know it's in that monastery. l know it.
l wanna save your father as much as you do.
You have to trust me. l know it's there.
l know it.
You've got to trust me.
Stay in line.
- Move along. - Keep the pace!
Kill Arnaut!
Claire!
Claire! Claire!
Move along!
Come on, lads.
That's Marek! Marek!
- Marek! - l'm OK.
lt's Chris and Kate, Marek.
- What about Chris and Kate? - They didn't make it.
- They've killed them. - What?
Been a while, hasn't it, Frank?
Oh, my God.
l thought you were dead.
Right, that's why you sent Taub to assassinate me.
Not to assassinate you, to bring you home.
- Right, just like you are. - No, look... Listen.
- Listen to me, Will. l need your help. - What's this?
Look, it's not working anyway.
lt says here you got less than one and a half hours left.
- lt doesn't work. - Bullshit.
Look, you've got to believe me, it wasn't my fault, OK?
- l've got a family. - Yeah?
- You've met my family. - You got a family?
- You have a family. - l've got a family.
- So did l! - No!
- No! No!
- Oh, shit! - Oh, my God!
Last time l saw him, he was running with his marker for an open space.
l was on the ground, three arrows in me.
l used to be William Decker, lTC employee number 273.
Now...
...l'm Sir William De Kere, Lord Oliver's aide-de-camp.
You looked pretty impressive today, Marek, for an academic.
- How do you know my name? - l know all of your names.
We read every report out of your dig before we made the first trip back.
How many times have you been here?
Enough to know transcription errors intimately.
Transcription errors?
Doniger, that son of a bitch. He hasn't told you a thing, has he?
What are transcription errors?
Mistakes in the DNA reconstruction process.
- lt's like faxing a fax. - Distortions. Mistakes.
Only the distortions aren't in the letters.
lt's body parts. The organs.
l've gone in too many times. l'll never survive another trip.
All that damage, it can be repaired, but not here.
And not in this time. You'd have to go back.
Why don't you press the marker? We can all go home, Decker, huh?
My name is De Kere. This is my home.
Lord Oliver awaits his Greek fire.
After that, your survival depends on your knowledge of history.
How good you make me look. l rise in favor, so do you.
l fall, you fall.
Marek, where's your marker?
De Kere, Decker, whatever his name is, he took it off me.
Oh, God.
We're friends of Edward De Johnness.
- Edward De Johnness. - The magister.
He's my father.
- The Englishmen have harmed him? - We don't know.
- We were gonna ask for your help. - Yeah, we need your help.
Come.
We need to hurry. We don't have much time.
Lord Oliver demands a demonstration before nightfall.
lt would be best not to miss the deadline.
They've done it. The stuff's all there.
This stuff's a bit coarse, but it's good.
What am l talking about? l can't do this.
l can't give them Greek fire and influence the course of history.
- l may already have done that. - What do you mean?
When we first arrived here, we were helped by this girl
who took us up to Castlegard.
ln fact, that's who l went back to get when we escaped.
That girl turned out to be Lady Claire, Arnaut's sister.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
l've delivered her to the French for safekeeping.
She's incredibly important. Her death rallies the French to win.
- Don't you understand? - Keep it down, OK?
Now we have to be on Oliver's side just to stay alive.
This is exactly where l was digging.
This is it. This is the place where... We're here. We're...
What do you mean?
This is the chamber where l was working.
- l'm sorry, what did he say? - The army of Arnaut is ready to attack.
- We're running out of time. - Those are the stairs. lt's under here.
Move them up here.
There's a goodly number of trebuchets, my lord.
What's a little fire to these stone walls?
{Y:i}- There's nothing down here. - This is it.
This is the chamber. This is where the hole was.
- We came down here... - There's nothing here.
Marek would've been working there. The box would've been...
Oh, my God. That is the box.
That's the parchment he wrote on.
My father's glasses.
- Yeah, we've got to go. - No, no, put it back.
lf we don't find this, in the future we're never gonna find your father.
Put it back.
We still gotta go. We gotta get up to La Roque.
No, the stone relief was damaged. Somebody had damaged it.
''What kind of son of a bitch would damage something so...''
lt was me.
l was the son of a...
What is she doing?
Wait! Get back! Stay back!
Watch out. Watch out.
Oh, wow. lt's the tunnel.
lt's the tunnel!
Give me a torch.
Hey, give me that one. Kate, watch out. Let me go in.
- Get Arnaut? - Yes, get Arnaut. Go.
- Please, hurry. Hurry. - Kate, get in here.
- Oh, whoa. - You got it?
Yeah, l do.
Careful, boys, this is Greek fire. You can blow us all to hell here.
Smooth and easy, now. No spills.
That's good.
- Trebuchet! - Trebuchet!
Shit.
- You OK? - Yeah. Hurry, there's no time.
- Trebuchet! - Trebuchet! Trebuchet!
Bring water!
Lord Oliver, the magister with your demonstration.
Oh, yes, l'll see it now.
- Understand, my lord, l've never... - Show me now!
- Show him! - Your fire of the Greeks.
- Marek, fire it! - OK, come on, let's move it.
Trebuchet!
Just fire the damn thing!
l cannot fire it.
Fire it!
- Fire! - Ready, fire!
Out of the way. Move. Let me pass.
That's it?
So you betrayed me. You promised me Greek fire.
l should have had you hung...
- What? - With your permission, my lord.
The more water, the more fire.
Good.
Better.
My God, you are a magician, not a magister.
l want this for every cannon. How many men will you need?
- Twenty. - Twenty.
- Give this man 20 men. - As you wish.
This way, magician.
Archers to the battlements!
- Archers to the battlements! - Archers to the battlements!
- We have 81 %. - No, no. lt's over.
l'm not gonna play with their lives like this.
We can't get 100% efficiency from patched-together coils.
What's the safest minimum percent?
- We've done successful tests at 80%. - You just said we have 81 %.
- They were inanimate objects. - With reflectors up.
- How much time do we have? - 28 minutes.
No room for error.
- They could be deformed. - Can we?
- Yes, we can. - lt's too risky.
You think l'm gonna let you leave them?
- Think l want to? - l don't think you care.
They have a chance, some kind of life.
No, you lost the chance for that decision a long time ago.
- This is no longer your decision. - You know what? lt is and l have.
l'm sorry.
- Fire the moat. - Yes, my lord.
Fire the moat!
- Light your arrows. - Light arrows.
- Archers, prepare. - Archers, prepare.
- Stretch. - Stretch.
Away!
- Night arrows. - Night arrows.
A little surprise for the French.
- Ready! - Stretch.
Away!
We're close now. We're close, l know it.
Great.
Well done, my lord.
Trebuchet!
One more of them, and we become history.
Oh, no.
No.
We're going. Forward, right maybe.
Maybe it's just...
Or we could go up, right? We could go up.
- Kate... - No, don't. No! No!
- Kate. - No.
Kate.
Maybe we missed something. Maybe we made a wrong turn.
- We could... - lt's too late.
lt's just too late.
l said trust me, and l've let you down.
And l've let your father down. And...
- l've let everybody down. - No.
- Oh, God, l'm so sorry. - No, you didn't.
Kate, come here.
Come here. Come here.
- Close the inner gates! - Close the inner gates!
- This is growing tiresome. - The courtyard is secure, my lord.
Good, but this Frenchman needs to be put in his place.
- lt's time. - Captain!
lt is time!
Robert.
Thirteen minutes left. Let's try and get them back.
Are we gonna go over all this again?
What are you doing?
What the hell do you think l'm doing? l'm protecting our interests.
- What's happened to you? - How many lives are lost
on the cutting edge of discovery?
- lt's the price for great advances. - These were kids, not astronauts!
- l know! - They had no idea!
Even worse when they're deformed! You know the media.
They'll twist it around and label it a ''death machine''.
- lt has a serious flaw! - And you'll fix it.
- No, l won't. - Like you fixed everything else.
- No. - What?
- You won't? - No, l won't.
l can't believe you'd just throw away your place in history.
- l already have, we're cycling up. - Think you can go behind my back?
Huh? Kramer!
Kramer?
- Make the prisoner ready. - What is your will, my lord?
- Back to work. - Secure her to the battlements.
l want to be sure the French can see her.
At once, my lord.
- l'll give your brother a choice. - Oh, shit.
- You are to be tied to the battlements. - What?
Either he lays down his arms
or he kills you with his own weapons.
Let us hope a man who stoops to using his own sister as a spy
still has some sense of decency left.
God be with you, lady.
lt's her.
lt's Lady Claire.
l delivered her to Arnaut for safekeeping.
- How did the English get her? - lt's history.
Then history will change.
Oliver.
Release Lady Claire and bring her down to me now,
or by God, l will destroy your arsenal.
- Marek! No! - Get the hell out of here. Go now!
Halt!
For God's sake. lf that thing blows, it'll kill us all.
- Bring her down. - No! Do not touch her!
My lord, if he drops the torch, he then kills her too. He will not do it.
Back off, De Kere. Or Decker, or whatever your name is.
l will blow your arsenal to hell!
- There's no way out. - You're English.
- No. No, no, we're not. - You're English! This is a trap!
- Run, my lord! - Marek!
- You are working for Oliver. - No, we're not.
l will kill both of you!
Down!
- Yeah! - Yahoo!
Be careful, my lord.
Archers, to the battlements!
Here.
- Hold the line on the east tower. - Oliver!
Kill her! Now!
- Arnaut! - Claire!
We've got to find the others.
Don't!
Hold your line!
- Dad. - Chris, you're alive! Kate, thank God!
- Where's Marek? - l don't know.
There goes Marek. There's Marek.
lt's OK. lt's OK, Claire.
lt's me. lt's me. lt's me. lt's me. lt's me.
- What are you doing? - Open the gate.
Chris, stop!
- lt's solid. - Let me get up. l've gotta get up.
- Can you? - Yeah.
This is for France.
- We gotta get out of here. - Where's Marek?
- l don't know. - He went after Lady Claire. There.
No!
My ear! My ear!
lt's me.
- lt's not working. - Well, it's broken.
- OK. - l gotta get Marek.
De Kere took his.
- You guys run to the field. - Not without you.
Kate! Run to the center of the field and wait for us. l'll get the other marker.
- Dad, go with her. Go! - Be careful.
Over here.
Marek!
Chris. l thought you were dead.
Your marker! Let's go!
De Kere! De Kere has yours.
Stern!
Open this door.
Where's Kramer?
Shit!
Take me home. Please.
Go!
- lt's working. Be careful. - Come on, let's go.
- Marek, come on. - Get out of here!
We got less than a minute! Let's go home, come on!
Come on, let's go!
Let's go, man! Come on, they're waiting!
- Go. Get the hell out of here. - No, let's go home!
l am home, Chris.
Chris, just go.
Say goodbye for me.
l'm gonna miss you, Marek.
lf you can do it, then do it. One more minute. Eighty-one percent, OK?
- What's he doing? - The coils.
- Come on! - This is good here.
- Wait! - There he is.
- Wait! - Come on! Where's Marek?
- He's staying. He's staying. - Let's go.
- Push the marker. - l am.
l'm getting a field buck! Someone's coming back!
What? No!
- No! - You gotta...
l don't have a marker.
l'll never get home.
Where's Marek?
And Francois?
- Hey, Dad. - Yeah?
Hey. Kate just called from the monastery dig.
She finished excavating the sarcophagus and wants us there.
- Wanna drive? - Yeah, l'll drive.
Look what l uncovered.
lf Marek had come home with us, what would be written here?
Oh, my God.
''Andre Marek.
''With his beloved wife, Claire.''
Oh, my God.
''Loving parents of Katherine...
''...Christophe...
''...and Francois.'' Dear Francois.
''To my friends who survive me,
''l have chosen a wonderful life.
''Died 1382.''
Born 197 1 .
They made their own history.
Together.
