Transcript
00:00Egypt. A month since I entered the Holy Land. I was in a foreign land, and I was dying.
00:19I wandered the cold desert for four nights before the horse archers found me.
00:23I had abandoned my mount to the vultures, and my armor to the heat of the day.
00:28As a knight, I was not much of a threat to them. I thought these men were Turks, and come to toy with
00:33their prey. But when I could distinguish the riders from the blood of Mirage, I saw that they were
00:39citizens, the rulers of the Middle East. I had ridden to the Holy Land with the Crusaders from
00:45France and Normandy, so I was by all rights these citizens' enemy. Yet they gave me water and a
00:51spindly horse, and led me back to their leader. And that was how I met Saladin.
00:59The paintings in Europe show Saladin as demonic, barbarian. Yet he is more chivalrous than any
01:05knight I'd met before, and prefers the palaces of Damascus to slaughtering Normans in the desert.
01:10I had not expected hospitality for Saracens. We Normans execute any armed Arab we capture.
01:18But Saladin left me free to explore his camp. Perhaps he wants an objective observer to chronicle
01:24the prodigious bloodshed ahead. Saladin's army is heading south to Egypt to reinforce Cairo.
01:31Egypt is a tempting prize for the Crusaders. She is fabulously wealthy, yet governed by an
01:37ineffectual fool. Before my capture, I was en route to join in the Crusaders' assault on Egypt.
01:43It is a bitter irony that now I shall view the contest from the enemy camp. So it was that I
01:48found myself less than a hundred miles from the Dead Sea in the company of my enemies.
02:07The Holy Land is ours now, and soon Egypt will be as well.
02:37The Dead Sea in the company of the term, and it is free to join in the duas
02:39in each country of his family.

03:05Saladin, where are you going with that great army?
03:35I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
04:05Oh, my God.
04:35Oh, my God.

06:05Oh, my God.
06:35Oh, my God.
07:05The Egyptians are cowardly and weak.
07:08If we station troops near their main mosque, they will surely surrender.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:43Oh, my God.
08:13Oh, my God.
08:43Lord Zaladin, we have captured the Frankish war vessel.
09:11Oh, my God.
09:41Lord Zaladin, we have found Frankish armor in the ruins of these black snakes.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:56Oh, my God.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:26Oh, my God.
