In the
early 13th century,

an heretical Christian

sect known as the Cathars
was gaining popularity

in Southern France.

They did not recognize
the authority

of the Roman Catholic
Church, and believed

the Pope to be the Antichrist.

Thus, the Pope saw them as a
serious threat to his power.

In response, he waged
a ruthless and barbaric

20 year crusade against them.

The last surviving
Cathars sought sanctuary

at the castle of
Montségur in the foothills

of the Pyrenees.

Here, a sympathetic force
of about 100 knights

and soldiers managed to
hold off a 10,000-strong

Catholic mercenary army
for more than nine months.

Ah, Guillaume, I pray
you bear good tidings.

I'm afraid not, my Lord.

The eastern barbican
has been captured.

How? It was well defended.

Somehow they gained access
through a secret entrance,

and overpowered our sentries.

I suspect we have a
traitor in our midst.

Damn them!

What are our options?

I'd expect they'll bring
in more reinforcements

and then move their
trebuchet closer to breach

the castle walls.

We must stop them quickly.
It's our only chance.

Our people, did we lose many?

No, most of the villagers
managed to get inside

the castle before we
sealed the main gate.

What would you have us do now?

We have no alternative,
we must retake the barbican.

Our best chance would be
while they're distracted

moving their trebuchet.

There's a slim chance we
could destroy that as well.

Slim indeed.

We barely have 100 knights
and men at arms left.

If we fail...

Well, we can't fail or
ultimately they'll kill us all.

This castle may have
offered us protection

over the past year,

but we're trapped with no
obvious means of escape.

My Lords, is it true
what they're saying

about today's encounter?

Yes, yes, unfortunately.

I will pray for
their deliverance.

You have 200 Parfait
that are unwilling

to bear arms and fight.

I think we would all
be better served,

if you were to pray
for a change of heart.

We have taken vows
to do no violence.

Our lives are in God's
hands. This we cannot alter.

Then I suggest you
prepare for the worst.

Our time is short.

O Brethren, give
ear to a noble Lesson.

We ought always
to watch and pray,

for we see this world
nigh to a conclusion.

We ought to strive
to do good works...

I fear where this
is all leading.

Bertrand is preparing
his people for the worst.

It's only a matter of time
now until the castle falls.

We ought to covet little,
for we are at the latter end.

And so we seek daily the
signs to be accomplished.

What will happen to us?

That depends on what
Lord Raymond does next

and if he's able to negotiate
with the Seneschal or not.

With the increase of evil
and the demise of good...

King Louis and the Pope only
want our lands and wealth.

They've shown no mercy.
Writings of Saint Paul.

They haven't even spared
children from the fires.

No man
living can know the end.

The castle may fall,

but Lord Guillaume and
I will protect you.

Our knights do not surrender.

We have sworn to
fight to the death

if that is what's required.

For we know not whether we
shall die today or tomorrow.

That's very noble,

but what are a few
knights against 10,000?

I fear for my virtue
as well as my death.

For we
are in the last times.

Do not fear, for I will
not let them take you alive.

Your commitment to
my end is appreciated,

but unfortunately,
not very comforting.

Please excuse me, I must
check on Meg's wellbeing.

Let us
meditate and pray.

Before the fire
consumes you, heretic,

and you feel the flames, if
you fail to recant tonight,

why do you refuse to believe
in the true and holy baptism?

Burn her!

It's okay. You were
just having a bad dream.

It was so real. I'm scared.

Do you still remember
where we used to play

in the fields and you would
hide, and I couldn't find you?

That was so much fun.

You could never work
out where I'd gone.

Yes it was.

We'll have to do it again
when this is all over.

I'll get you some
warm milk and cake,

and you can tell me
where you would hide.

No, that would be silly,

then you'd know
where to find me.

Ah, I thought I could trick
you while you're sleepy,

but you're too smart for that.

Do you think we could
go back home again?

I hope so.

An angel in the
night, or am I mistaken?

I think my Lord
mistakes me for another.

No my Lady, your
kindness precedes you.

A light of hope to
those of us that remain.

It is but a candle.
What keeps you up so late?

I make peace with my
God, for in the morning

we do battle again.

I speak frankly, as I fear
this may be our last moment.

I pray not.

If not for your
skill and courage,

we would have already endured
a slow and horrible death.

This senseless persecution
needs to be stopped.

King Louis and Hughes
d'Arcis would burn us all

for that fanatic in Rome.

Yet you're here defending us.

Templars are of
the Catholic Order.

I really don't understand.

This new pope
has an evil agenda.

Even my fellow Templars fear
to speak out against him.

Now with King Louis
supporting him,

I don't believe anyone is safe.

If you are discovered, won't
that make it worse for them?

So be it.

I cannot with all conscience
not protect the innocent.

It's why our Templar Order
was originally created.

It's time.

How's Bietta?

Keeping a brave front.
Are your men ready?

They are ready. And you?

Always.

Over here!

Over here!

It's a trap! Retreat, it's
a trap!

It's an honor to die
with you, my brother.

This is not our time.

There will be another day
to fight for our honor.

What were you thinking?

I've never known you
to run from a fight.

There were too many
of them, Guillaume.

We would have all
been slaughtered.

You're too impulsive
and you don't think!

That was our last
chance to destroy

the trebuchet and force
them off the mountain.

They'll kill us all
now at their leisure.

You're right.

All I could think about was
staying alive to save Philippa.

I'm sorry.

There's no time to be sorry.
Just tend to the wounded.

Any news?

Nothing good, we were
heavily outnumbered.

Have we lost many.

No, but we have wounded.

Fortunately, Guillaume
and Simon fought a strong

rear guard action allowing our
men enough time to retreat.

Is Pierre all right?

And Raymond?

Lord Raymond is on the wall

with Pierre organizing defenses.

He and Guillaume will
be along shortly.

Thank you, thank you.

They will need food and rest,

and the girls will
help tend the wounded.

Food
we can provide.

Rest, well, might be a
bit harder to come by.

I'm scared. I'm
scared for us all.

We must be strong.

We are but a small part
in a heavenly battle.

God has prepared our
path and we must follow

where he has chosen,
that is our destiny.

The choice of letting
good men die fighting

to protect your pacifist
hide seems an unlikely choice

God would make.

Your belief in reincarnation
makes you irresponsible.

"We can always fix
it in the next life."

Well what if this
one is all we get?

By the Saints, Bietta,
I know that you're scared

and upset, but please
respect our beliefs.

These beliefs have
brought the full force

of the Catholic church
down on our heads.

What if they're wrong?

She is just upset.

Come on girls, there
is much work to do.

Lord, give me strength.

I'm not sure
what we should do.

We, we need to
remove the arrow.

I'm sorry, Jean.
I've got to remove it.

Drink this. It will
help with the pain.

Philippa! We need
to stop the bleeding.

The Bishop has been
using herbs and honey

for the deeper wounds.

Please hurry,
he's bleeding badly.

What went wrong?

They knew we were coming.

Pierre didn't help,
running for cover.

At this stage, there's
no point laying blame,

but we can't afford
to lose any more men.

So, now what?

We were lucky to survive.

Now it's only a matter of time

before they get reinforcements
and try a full assault.

Well we are grateful for
you for getting us this far,

but now myself and my followers
must prepare ourselves

for our martyrdom.

Though perhaps if we
were to surrender,

you and your people
might be spared.

If I send a messenger to
the Seneschal seeking terms

of surrender, it may
buy some more time.

In that case, the Templar
involvement cannot be revealed,

that would put the
whole order at risk.

They need to believe that
I acted as a lone wolf.

What about Simon?

I have a plan.

His past relationship
with the Seneschal

could prove useful.

He should be your messenger.
Trust me with this.

You have my word.

We will need a
good cover story,

in case of torture and capture.

I'm also led to
believe that you possess

an ancient artifact.

One that could unlock secrets.

Secrets that must never
fall into enemy hands.

Is this true?

Yes, after the crucifixion,

Mary Magdalene was
brought here from Egypt.

What does this have to do
with our current situation?

When Mary was dying,

she entrusted our good
men with an ancient book.

Now, we believe that hidden
within its writings are clues

to those secrets that...

How did you know?

After the first crusade

to the Holy Land, the
Knights Templar were based

on the old site of
Solomon's Temple.

While there, they
uncovered text describing

a powerful ancient relic.

We believe that Mary's book
may be the key to finding it.

Do you still have the book?

No, it was hidden nearby
before we were trapped here.

If the enemy know of
it, and we surrender,

it's only a matter of time
before someone is tortured

into revealing its location.

Then we must make every
effort to recover it now,

before it's too late.

Only one person knows of
its whereabouts, and besides,

aren't you forgetting something?

We're in a completely
hopeless situation,

surrounded with no
means of escape.

No trap is ever perfect.

My lady, you surprised me.

Why, what have I done?

A blacksmith's workshop?

It's hardly the sort of place
where I'd expect to find you.

Gerard is being kind enough
to make a sword for me.

A gift for someone?

No, it's for me.

Since the Parfait won't fight,

I need to protect myself
and Meg from the invaders,

and possibly Simon.

I don't think Simon
intends to hurt you.

He's like a puppy
in your presence.

I'm surprised he's
not with you now.

He is off running an
errand for me, and besides,

I have a greater needs of
Gerard's talents today.

May I also suggest, if you
feel the need for a weapon,

maybe a crossbow might be a
safer option for everyone.

What do you need, my Lord?

I need some small iron spikes

that can support the
weight of a knight.

Yes, my Lord. I'm onto it.

More heat, my friend.

I'll leave you two to bond.

I'm so tired of parsnips.

Well, it's better
than nothing.

I know, but I'd do almost
anything for some pork.

Or fish, fresh fish.

It must be a year
since we've had any fish.

How's Jean? Any improvement?

I'm hoping some
food will help him

to regain his strength.

Hopefully the soldiers
will get tired of all

this and leave, and then
things can get back to normal.

I don't know if that
will ever happen now.

Why do you think that?

We've had sieges before
and they eventually gave up

and went away.

I know, but they've never
managed to get any men up

the mountain before.

What will happen to us
if they take the castle?

I think they only want the
Cathars, we should be safe,

because we're from
a noble family.

But I'm not. I'm
just a servant.

I'm sure father will look
after you, and besides,

you're not a Cathar.

If only Pierre had not killed

the Friars of the Inquisition.

The Pope might
have left us alone.

Don't let Philippa
hear you saying that.

I don't blame him,

they were doing horrible
things to people,

but it was still a
stupid thing to do.

After all, they did
represent the Pope.

I know.

Pierre's impulsive and
doesn't think things through,

but he loves Philippa and
he's still a good man.

Do you think we could escape
before the castle falls?

I would prefer to take my
chances rather than be captured.

Every day it's getting
harder to get things

in from the outside.

Well, our duty is to stay
and support our father.

However, I would understand it

if you wanted to try
and escape, Mary.

Where would you go?

I have family to the north,
they would look after me.

Don't be sad.

That's better.

So, what have you been up to?

Just watching the pigeons
landing on the wall.

They must have a nest.

I wish I were able to fly.

You must be careful.

There may be archers
watching the windows now.

I'm enjoying this
wine, it's quite good.

Simon.

This day's full of surprises.

Get him a seat and some wine.

Thank you, my Lord.

Bishop Petrus, you're a long
way from the comforts of Rome.

Indeed. I was unaware
of your presence here.

Skip the formalities. What
brings you to Montsegur?

Chance, and poor timing.

I was returning
from Templar duties

in Toulouse, when I decided
to check on the situation

with Lord Raymond.

Unfortunately, my
departure was delayed,

when you laid siege
to the castle.

Somewhat of an inconvenience.

My apologies,

but Bishop Petrus was most
convincing and insistent.

I think you'll find Lord
Raymond will be defaulting

on any outstanding debts
to the Templars this year.

Only if you
succeed and quickly.

I've heard they have some
reinforcements on the way.

Why are you still here?

The Templars have
no interest in this.

It suited me at the time,

but now it has been put upon me

by Lord Raymond to
mediate acceptable terms

for their surrender.

We don't negotiate with
heretics, we burn them.

It's God's way.

Your persistence in
continuing this crusade must be

a costly exercise.

It has dragged on,

but God's work requires
patience, unfortunately.

I think if you want
this to end quickly,

you're going to have
to sweeten the deal.

Those reinforcements
could be here by Easter.

Bishop, would you and
Friar Tomas kindly leave us?

I need to discuss some
things in private with Simon.

If you must. Friar Tomas
and I will tend to our flock.

I respect Lord Raymond's
efforts in defending

the heretics, but the
church has my hands tied

in this matter.

Our real enemy
lies in Jerusalem.

This is just the
Devil's distraction,

chasing a few
misguided heretics.

They're a harmless bunch.

Damned if I'll get
on the wrong side

of the Pope to a
save a few peasants.

Fortune favors the strong.

That may be,

but I think you'll find
a little more profit

if you show some mercy.

I see no winners
in this encounter.

This new Pope's fanatical.

He wants to eradicate these
heretics once and for all.

There are spies everywhere.

We both need to be cautious
and watch our backs.

No one is safe.

Then show some compromise
and this whole episode

will come to a quick end.

They're not all heretics,
but with no hope,

ordinary men can become heroes.

Besides, think of the time
and money you'll save.

Popes don't last forever.

What you say has merit.

My men are restless and
want to return home,

but I must satisfy the
demands of the Bishop.

What you do with your
knights is not my concern.

What would you have
me tell Lord Raymond?

I will consider an
unconditional surrender,

and spare Lord Raymond
and his family,

along with his knights,
but be careful,

my archers are not
very selective.

I cannot guarantee your safety.

I suggest you avoid any
delays in leaving this area.

Being a Templar
may not save you.

Accepted, but it would
be wise to remember,

nothing can save you if you make

the Templars your enemy.

Hopefully our next
encounter will be

in less hostile circumstances.
Indeed.

How did it go?

Tense.

For Lord Hughes, it's
business as usual,

however Bishop Petrus
is another matter.

He's a heartless fanatic,
unlikely to yield,

just another puppet to the Pope.

Well, that's
always been the case.

It doesn't leave us
much room to maneuver.

After our recent loses,

we don't have the men to
hold them off any longer.

If you're prepared
to surrender,

we may be able to negotiate
better conditions and save

the women and children.

Either way, the
Cathars are doomed.

Save yourselves, you've
done the best you can.

Save the women and
children if you can,

but as for myself
and my good people,

we know there's no hope of
survival, only martyrdom.

Simon, when you
went to their camp,

how were their troops deployed?

They're moving their men
towards the main access,

gathering for a major assault.

I have an idea,
it's a long shot,

but with their lines depleted,

it might be possible to
smuggle some people out.

If it helps, I can stall for
more time with negotiations.

Then we have a plan.

What numbers are
you contemplating?

Not many, perhaps just a few,
spread over several nights.

They will need to be fit
enough to travel quickly.

Do what you can. My place is
here with my wife and family.

I have sworn to
fight to the death.

I have other needs
for you, Simon.

I can't leave. I've
sworn to protect Bietta.

As you have with every
other pretty lady in France.

Her best chance is for
you to stay focused

on the task ahead.

So be it. What
would you have me do?

Listen carefully.

I need you to
return to their camp

with Lord Raymond's
terms of surrender.

Then leave the area

showing no further
interest in the outcome.

That should allay
any further suspicion

of Templar activity.

My Lords, this
inquisition will only stop

when they believe that
myself and my Cathars have

all been destroyed.

We have accepted our fate
and we've made our peace

with God, but others
like Meg and Bietta,

they might be spared.

They are the last
of their bloodline.

Unfortunately Bertrand,
many bloodlines are

about to be lost,
it's hardly relevant.

Perhaps if all your
people just promise to be

good Catholics, they
would be spared.

No, no, no never,
it's better to burn now

than submit to Satan
and burn forever.

This duality you believe
in, between good and evil,

is it worth dying for?

Just tell them what
they want to hear.

You can take it back later.
Think of the children.

They don't even understand
what's happening.

That is a decision that
every Cathar must make,

and also, our faith is not
the only one under attack.

They're blaming the
Jews for killing Jesus.

They're seizing and burning
copies of the Talmud.

It's no longer just
about the Christian belief,

it's about wealth and power.

Was it ever anything else?

We digress.

If this plan's to work, it
must remain confidential,

otherwise those who escape
will be hunted down.

Indeed, secrecy
is most important.

I thought I might
find you here.

It's a beautiful night.

The stars are bright and
the air is crisp and fresh.

It's a bit too
cold for my liking.

I like the cold,
it's especially
beautiful when it snows.

It's so peaceful and quiet
tonight. It seems oddly strange.

They've stopped the
constant bombardment

with the trebuchet while
talks are underway.

Do you think we'll all die?

Eventually, but not tonight.

It's not dying that
bothers me as much,

as what they'll do to us first.

Try not to think about it.

I can't help it.

They just seem to delight
in the sadistic torture

of so many beautiful,
harmless people.

The thought of slowly
burning to death

terrifies me.

Why?

How do you cope?

I'm a soldier and a Templar.

Death is always with us.

We need to learn to
deal with our mortality

otherwise we would be
totally consumed by fear.

Bertrand tells me that
in death I am born again

into another life, that
we are heavenly angels

trapped in our earthly bodies.

That's why it's easier for him.

But I don't know what
to believe any more.

My experience is to
trust only my instincts,

and so far they
haven't failed me yet.

I've seen good men, great men,

on both sides die
for their faith.

If there is a caring
God, I haven't found him.

My mother always said
that we don't need to look

for God, as he is everywhere,

whether we believe it or not.

Well if there
ever was a good time

for God to reveal
himself, it's now.

We need a miracle,
and we need it now.

You should get some rest.
Tomorrow will be a big day.

No one must know about this.

You're secret is safe.

Ah, Simon.

I've found some rope.
I hope it's enough.

I need to meditate and pray.

Take care. Simon,
we have work to do.

Lead the way.

I think you'll be pleased
to know that I've decided

to take Bietta and Meg with us.

Have you told her?

No, not yet, the less
people know, the better.

I understand. What next?

Stick to our plan.

Deliver Lord Raymond's
surrender document

to Lord Hughes, and then
when you think it's safe,

meet up with us.

Take care.

If this fails, we'll
next see you in heaven.

Well, let's make this work.

God be with you.

And also with you.

Are you sure that
there's no other way?

I'm worried about the girls.

We have so few men left,

that we were lucky to have
survived the last attack.

I know, those
mercenaries were ruthless.

Can't we wait this out until
some reinforcements arrive?

If they were coming, they
would have been here by now.

But the Lord of Toulouse,
and King of Aragon have

both promised to send knights.

I know, but I think
they've realized

the futility of fighting
such a large force.

I just hope God
hears our prayers.

You can inform Lord
Raymond that I will require

hostages as an
act of good faith.

His request is somewhat unusual.

I'll leave that up to
you to negotiate, my Lord.

I've wasted enough
time here already.

Suit yourself.

Give my regards

to Lord Guillaume and the
Templars when next you see them.

Rumor has it that he's
been off preparing

and recruiting for a new
crusade to the Holy Land.

Then I'd better hurry,

sounds like an adventure
not to be missed.

Yes, riches and opportunity
are there for the taking.

Indeed, so once
you've finished here,

I expect we'll have your full
support in the new crusade.

Of course. God's will be done.

The Pope will be delighted.

He makes me feel uneasy.

How sure are you
of his allegiances?

Simon comes from
a good family.

I have no reason to doubt
his loyalty to the church,

or the King.

Besides, there's little he
could do to upset your plans.

We will see.

Well, I will go first,
and make sure it's safe.

Are you sure
there's no other way?

If there was another
way, I would take it.

I can see a couple of
ledges where you can stop

and catch your breath.

I'm scared of heights,
and what about Meg?

If I can manage,
I'm sure you're fine.

Just try not to look down.

Meg's small, she can be
lowered down with all our gear.

We'll be careful. Good luck,
and Godspeed to you both.

Meg, do as you're
told and hold on tight.

Given the choice, I
would stay and fight.

Sneaking off into the night
is not the Templar way.

This mission gives
us all some hope.

Some must survive
for the future.

There are greater battles ahead.

Be careful. Please be careful.

We're almost there.

Rest up and catch your
breath while they lower Meg.

This better work. There's
no way I could get back up.

Shh.

You need to be quiet,

just in case there are
sentries down below.

Will we be there soon?

It won't be long,
and then you can rest.

I'm tired.

Shh. We need to be quiet.

Did you hear that?

It's probably nothing.
It might just be a badger.

Let's not go
looking for trouble.

You're probably right, with
my luck it's just a bear.

I've got other
plans for tonight.

Please don't hurt me
again. I'm not a Cathar.

Quiet!

I just want to go home.

If you're good and
you do as you're told,

we might let you go.

But only if you're good!

- Aren't you going to help?
- I cannot save everyone.

But it's Mary, the
maid from the castle.

I'm sorry, but I cannot
risk losing you and Meg.

Come on, Meg. There's
nothing we can do here.

Did they accept?

They're prepared to
give us a 14 day truce,

to allow each person
time to consider

their allegiances and to
and make peace with God.

And then what?

What Raymond is trying to say,

is after that 14 day period,

those who have repented
and swear their allegiance

to the Pope will be spared.

And if we don't?

If you refuse,

then you'll be taken and either
tortured or burnt to death.

That's what they've
done everywhere else.

There's also a
demand for hostages

to guarantee our compliance.

Hostages are out
of the question!

Do you think I
want to surrender?

If we don't comply,

they will continue their
attack and kill every last

one of us.

We have no alternative
left than to accept.

Come, I'll negotiate
my own terms.

Take whatever you need,
and may God be with you both.

Let them go.

She's our daughter!

Philippa made her choices
when she married Pierre.

Is there nothing we
can do to stop this?

What's happening?

I'm not sure.

The horn, it's
sounding our surrender.

What should we do?

Hide. Escape if you can.

I can't leave you here.

Forget about me, I'm done for.

Get Bertrand to give
me the Consolamentum.

I want to make peace with God.

You can't take the
Consolamentum, they'll burn

you as a heretic.

My wound has become inflamed.

It will take me long before
they take this castle.

I can't bear to
live without you.

Esclarmonde, we need
to find our parents.

Go without me. I need
to be here with Jean.

I'll come back for
you, as fast as I can.

Is it true? We've
just surrendered?

I had no alternative.

But at least we had a chance.

Now they'll do whatever
they want with us.

No, they've agreed
to a short truce.

This allows people the
time to get their lives

in order and consider
their allegiances.

After that, if you seek
forgiveness and agree

to follow the Church of
Rome, you will be set free.

After all they've
done, you trust them?

What about the others?

There is no option. This way,
at least our family is safe.

No. No!

Where's mother? I must see her.

I believe she's in the chapel.
She needed some time alone.

Why?

Out of my way!

What is so important

that you would disturb
me in my meditation?

You must stop father from
surrendering the castle.

I think it's too
late for that, besides,

it is the only option left
if any of us are to survive.

You don't understand.

Then explain your concerns.

Jean is dying and
Bertrand is going

to perform the Consolamentum.

Well we cannot stop him

if he chooses to
die as a Cathar.

But I think Esclarmonde
is going to, as well.

What! They will
burn her if she does.

Take me to her, quickly.

It's too late!

Lady Corba, you're
most welcome to join us.

The presence of the Holy
Spirit has deeply touched

our hearts tonight.

If the Catholics find
out that Esclarmonde has

made these vows,
they will burn her.

Her eternal salvation
is now assured,

and they will both live again.

Jean's getting very weak,
he hasn't much time left.

We should allow them
some time together.

This must kept secret. No one
must know, not even Raymond.

I understand. I will
instruct the others as well.

Ah, Bertrand,
what have we done?

We can rest here today and
continue on in the night.

I'm going to go for
a wash in the stream

so don't run off.

And if you see anyone, hide.

Shouldn't a lady
be more cautious

as to where she
chooses to bathe?

A gentleman would look
away while a lady bathes.

He would.

After being cooped up
in the castle for so long,

I couldn't resist.

Perhaps you should join me.

That is not the Templar way.

Oh! You're always on guard.

You never sleep or take a
moment to stop and just relax.

Is that's why
Templars don't bathe?

It rusts the armor.

Then it might be prudent to
keep downwind from your enemy.

What brings you to my camp?

We're under orders,

stopping anyone passing
to and from Montsegur.

What is your
mission, Sir Knight?

And who is the lady?

This is Lady Bietta of Aragon.

I've been commissioned
to protect and escort

her on her pilgrimage
to Toulouse.

Then you will need permission

from Lord Hughes if you want
to pass through this area.

I am Guillaume De Sonnac,

Templar Knight and
Preceptor of Guyenne.

Do you dare challenge
my authority?

You must submit
to our authority

or suffer the consequences.

So be it.

Here, Let me help.

What if they're not alone?

We will worry
about that later.

You did well to
beat them both.

I couldn't have done
it without Meg's help.

Meg, are you okay?

Meg?

You took
your time getting here.

I see you've been busy.

I could've used some help.

And I could've used a
horse. It was a long walk.

Hopefully that's the last
of the sentries. Any news?

I think Lord Hughes
bought my story,

but it still doesn't look
promising for those left

behind in the castle.

Why? What's happened?

They've been collecting
large quantities of firewood

and preparing an area
to burn the Cathars.

Say no more. Our
concerns are here now.

They were the sentries
we saw last night.

We should go back and
help that servant, Mary.

What? Mary?

There's no time.

We cannot risk putting you
and Meg in any more danger.

Help me to hide these bodies.

I'm so tired.

Try and rest. I won't leave.

I love you so much.

I know.

They can take away everything,

but they can never
take away our love.

That is ours forever.

I am here. I always
will be.

We used to live near here.

Why did you leave?

The soldiers came and
burned our homes and then

killed our families.

Were you hurt?

No, when the soldiers came,

Meg and I were here,
collecting berries.

We hid until they
left. It was terrible.

Meg still has
nightmares about it.

It doesn't seem to
upset her being here.

Her mind has shut out
a lot of what happened.

It's how she copes with it.

We only talk about
the good times.

Meg always loved coming here
and chasing the rabbits.

Rabbits! I'm getting hungry.

I still have some
bread and cheese.

There should also be some
mushrooms and things nearby.

Simon, help Bietta,
and while you're at it,

check out the area.

Meg's looking tired.

She can rest now while
I set up the campsite.

Meg.

How many soldiers
have you killed?

I thought you wanted to sleep.

I can't, I keep
thinking about that man.

I didn't mean to kill him. I
just wanted to make him stop.

What you did saved my life,
so you did a good thing.

Try not to think about it.

Try to think of something
else, something more pleasant.

Do you like Bietta?

I thought I had
escaped the Inquisition.

Did you not want to sleep?

I think she likes you.

She is kind and
caring with everyone.

And very intelligent for a
woman, but she talks too much,

just like you.

Now get some sleep.

Why did you become
a Templar knight?

Being the youngest
son in my family,

there wasn't much opportunity.

I wanted more excitement.

A chance to travel,
and see the world.

How's that working out?

Well at the moment, a
lot harder than I thought.

Guillaume doesn't
make anything easy.

On the contrary, being a
Templar is a harsh existence.

Guillaume's been
quite supportive, all
things considered.

What's he like?

He's quiet, circumspect,

a bit of a mystery at times.

We should head back.
It's safer as a group.

Where's Meg?

She was here a minute ago.

You were supposed to
be looking after her.

I must have dozed
off. Simon, go find her.

She cannot have gone far.

I'll look in the
other direction.

Wait. I can't afford
to lose you both.

She'll be back soon.

Just once I leave you to
look after her, just once!

And you lose her.
You're so useless.

Apparently. Look,
just calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down!
What if she gets caught?

She will be okay.

She's probably off just
trying to help find food.

She's all I've got now.

I know, but she'll be
okay. Look, trust me.

I did, and look what happened.

Look, while they're gone,
we need to sort something out.

What now?

It's too dangerous in this
area, we must keep moving.

Just what are you
wanting from me?

We need to recover
the Cathar relics

before we run into
any more surprises.

Now, where exactly
did you hide them?

I can't tell you. Bertrand
told me not to trust anyone.

He may have,

but he also told me to
get them to a safe place,

before Hughes
discovers they're gone.

They're somewhere near here.

What do you mean somewhere?

Well I don't know, exactly,
I got Meg to hide them.

Meg?

She found a small cave
nearby where she used to play.

I could never find it or her.

So you entrusted one
of the greatest treasures

in the world to a 10 year old?

I thought no one
would ever suspect her.

You never cease to amaze me.

Meg's vanished! Did
she come back here?

No. What do mean by vanished?

I thought I saw her,
one minute she was there,

the next she was gone.

I thought she might
have come back here.

We need to find her,
it will be dark soon,

and we cannot risk being
seen with a fire at night.

Where have you been?

We were all so
worried about you.

I thought you'd want this.

Guard it well.

Simon, help me to secure
the area before dark.

How are you
progressing with Bietta?

That woman! A
difficult creature.

Not one to be underestimated.

Where are they going?

I've no idea, but you stay
here, no more running off.

That Guillaume can
be so annoying.

Look, Bietta's
up to something. We
need to be careful.

What makes you think that?

Think about it.

She does not follow
the Cathar beliefs,

yet Bertrand entrusted her
with their most valuable relic.

I hadn't thought about
that, but you're right.

I think it's too easy to
be distracted by her beauty.

It can be a trap.

She's just a woman. What
could she possibly do?

Never underestimate women,

they can be much more
cunning than men.

Trust me, I know.

I'll keep that
in mind. What now?

We need to head north to
Toulouse where we have allies.

Then that is a long walk.

The horses are gone,

they were eaten by the
troops during winter.

Life is never easy.

We would be less
conspicuous on foot though,

and that does give
me more time to find

out what is in that book.

Why don't we just take it?

If we lose Bietta's trust,

we will never find out what
she knows about its secrets.

Now that we know she's got it,

we shouldn't let her
out of our sight.

You're right. We
had better head back.

Meg, let me see that
amulet on your necklace.

Hide it away, and
don't let anyone see it.

Interesting reading?

Did you see anyone?

It looks clear. We should
be right for the evening.

We'll take turns to
keep watch, just in case.

It's going to be a cold night,

so we've been preparing a fire.

We cannot risk a fire.
Someone might see it.

She's just a little girl.
We can't let her freeze.

All right then,
just keep it small.

I'm sorry to disturb your
meals, your Grace, I have news.

Well, get on with it.

Two of our perimeter
sentries are missing.

Probably more deserters.

Take some men and
search the area.

Let me know what you find.

- Yes my Lord.
- Lord Hughes,

if you don't mind,

I'd like to send one of my
friars to accompany them.

Not at all. Who
do you have in mind?

Tomas. Friar Tomas,
you can join them.

Yes, your worship.
If you insist.

Why the interest in a
couple of missing sentries?

We've had a few desert lately.

No interest.

I just wanted some more duck
before Tomas ate everything.

The man suffers from
gluttony.

It's getting late. I
think we should head back.

We need to know what
happened to the sentries.

They'd be long gone by now,

and besides I'm getting
tired and hungry.

Over here!

Keep the noise down. There
could be anyone out here.

Where are the sentries?

Please, please help me.

The two guards that
were here. Where are they?

I don't know. Please,
do you have some water?

Did you see which
way they went?

She knows nothing.
Shall I set her free?

No, go check on the
soldiers. I'll question her.

I think they went this way!

I've had enough of this.

What now? We need
to keep searching.

I hate to see them
grovel. Finish her.

I'm sorry.

Shh.

They haven't seen us.

They're probably
looking for those guards.

We cannot risk them
seeing the girls.

Shh, follow me.

I've got an idea.

Lovely evening!

Friar Tomas, isn't it a
bit late for you to be out?

You should put those away
before you cut yourselves.

I thought you'd have
long left this area by now.

I'm on foot,

or have you forgotten what
happened with the horses.

Regrettable, but necessary.

What keeps you up so late,

and so far from the
safety of your camp?

Some sentries are missing.

Hardly seems worth it.

This time of year,

they've probably all gone home
to be with their families.

So you haven't seen them?

As Lord Hughes says, the
sentries are not that selective.

I've avoided them where I can.
It's not that safe out here.

I hadn't considered that.
Take me back to the camp.

Your Holiness, I
don't think that wise,

we haven't fully
searched the area.

Do as you're told.

This entire episode has been
a complete waste of my time.

Sorry to disturb you.

Sleep well, and may you
have a safe journey.

And you also.

We found a peasant
girl earlier.

Friar Tomas ordered her
death for no good reason.

Why tell me?

Your Templars have
not participated

in this unholy crusade.

I'd ask you to
pray for her soul,

for I fear she was
a good Christian.

You have my word.

You should go before you
draw attention to yourself.

Thank you, my Lord.

Well, that worked well.

Let's hope our luck holds out.
I do not trust that friar.

He comes off as a bit slow.

Do not underestimate him.

He has quite a
reputation for cruelty.

I know.

I heard tonight that he
had a peasant girl killed.

It was probably Mary. Those
guards had her at their camp.

I should have tried to help
her when I had the chance.

We can't keep dragging
Meg around the countryside.

It's too dangerous.

What do you
suggest? We leave her?

Of course not! If
only we had horses.

The only ones that are
left are well guarded.

We should split up.

We can move faster,

find help and come back
here for the girls.

You may be right.

Bietta, you know the area
a lot better than us,

what do you suggest?

I know!

Her hiding place.

Simon, take the girls
there and keep them safe.

I have some unfinished business.

How will you find us?

Leave that up to me.

Forgive me, my Lord, I
have failed to save another

one of your innocent children.

I pray that you take this girl,

Mary, and let her soul
find eternal peace

and forgiveness in Heaven.

My Lord, it's too
late to save me.

No, don't give
up. Come on, get up.

Quick, over here!

Come, come.

Mary...

She's gone.

No! I will avenge her death!

I'm scared. Will
they get us too?

When Guillaume returns,

we'll get away from
all this madness.

Find somewhere safe.

If he returns. I've never
seen him act so recklessly.

Surely he knows, one man
cannot save the world.

I need some time
alone to pray.

Can you keep an eye out on Meg?

Of course. Meg, would you
like to go look at the pond?

That's a nice necklace.
Can I have a look?

I'm not supposed
to show it to anyone.

That's okay, where
did you get it from?

Bietta gave it to me
before we went to the castle.

It was supposed
to be our secret.

Don't worry, I
wont tell anyone.

I see it's a late
night for both of us.

I'm sorry, I
didn't mean to disturb...

My dear friend,
you're always welcome.

The short time we have left

is better spent with
friends than alone.

This may be my last
chance to speak with you,

and I want to thank you

for making us welcome and
for sheltering us here

in your home.

The kindness and charity
we've been shown,

the sacrifices you've
endured trying to protect us

have been a gift from God.

You gave us hope
and precious time.

My failure to keep you
safe is my deepest regret.

My knights were prepared
to do whatever it takes

if we thought it would help,
and we almost succeeded.

Unfortunately, it
just wasn't enough.

Further fighting is pointless.

Enough of your family
has been lost already.

You have fought honorably
and I want to thank

you on behalf of us all.

Is there anything
else we can do?

These are all my possessions.

There's not much, but I
would like you to have them.

There's some cloth and
some salt and herbs.

Thank you, Bertrand. I
will always treasure them.

My time at the castle here
has given me many moments

of great joy, but also
some of deep regret.

How so?

I'm not immune to self doubt.

There is so much that we do

that we attribute to God's will.

Things that we must
accept in blind faith.

Like all men, I'm
not infallible.

My decisions were based on
what I felt God wanted from me.

And I just hope and pray
that what we've done has not

all been in vain.

We've all been
there, Bertrand.

There are some truths
that will only be revealed

to us in death.

Our only hope is that we
have followed our conscience

to the best of our abilities
and that we will be

forgiven for the
times we have failed.

These thoughts I
share are for you alone.

At this juncture,
I cannot show fear,

I must be brave for the
sake of those who will soon

die with me.

I should return now
and pray with them.

I understand.

And may our loving
God be merciful.

They're coming!

They won't harm you. Lord
Hughes has given his word.

They only want the
Cathar heretics.

But how will they
know who's a heretic?

Won't they just kill us all
like they did in Beziers?

No, we will be spared,

but you must submit to the
clergy and pledge loyalty

to the Pope.

Those that refuse will
be taken and executed.

Esclarmonde was given the
Consolamentum with her husband,

Jean, when he passed away.

Don't tell them!
Just do what they ask.

No Father. I just
want to be with Jean.

There's nothing left for me now.

All I see is pain and suffering.

But your mother and
I, we love you so much.

You and your sisters are all
we have now. I forbid it.

I love you both,
you know that,

but my heart is with my husband.

We will be in a better place.

The world has become so evil.

Greetings, Lord Raymond.

As agreed, I'm here to accept

your formal surrender
of Montsegur.

It is with deep regret
that we meet under such

hostile circumstances
considering our common nobility.

Perhaps.

Things may have
turned out differently

if you had been more careful
choosing your allies.

I only ask that you to
treat my family with respect.

I will do what I can. The
church rules in these matters.

My friend Bertrand and his
followers have harmed no one.

I implore you to treat them
mercifully and with dignity.

Raymond, their fate
is not mine to choose.

I'm only a poor soldier serving
King Louis and the Pope.

Bishop Petrus will deal
with their heresies.

It is now in the hands of God.

Indeed it is.

Those that have chosen to
turn their back on our one

true and loving God will
burn for their sins.

With such a loving,

caring God, is there
no chance of mercy?

I am not without mercy.

Those that seek forgiveness
shall be spared,

but only if they pledge
allegiance the one and true

God's church in Rome.

I would rather burn than
consort with the Devil.

And burn you
will. Take him away.

The Pope has granted me new
powers of the Inquisition.

My brethren will now gather
to prepare to hold court

and hear the confessions.

I will have my family
gather their belongings

and we will leave as
agreed to, in our treaty.

Your castle and lands are
all forfeited to the Pope.

Where do you plan to go?

We will seek
sanctuary in Toulouse.

Good.

You can inform the Lord of
Toulouse about the consequences

of being disobedient
to the church.

How can you call
yourself a man of God?

I could never submit to your
authority. You disgust me!

She does not mean that.

She is hysterical after
the death of her husband.

Her impudence and
blasphemy are no excuse.

Guard, take her to
face the Inquisition.

I have nothing to hide. I
have received the Consolamentum.

Then you will burn with
the others. Take her!

No! You can't!

She's my baby. Please,
take me instead.

Take them both and burn them!

And take the other daughter
to face the Inquisition.

We shall get to the
truth behind all this.

Stop! This is not
what we agreed to!

Do you have no
honor! Spare my family!

It is God's will.
I have spoken.

I am sorry, this
is not what I wanted,

but my hands are tied.

Burn! Burn!

Burn in hell!

At times, it seems Friar
Tomas enjoys his work

just a little too much.

Give me some wine.

It seems as though
Friar Tomas has tripped

and fallen into the fire.

Most unfortunate. I believe
he was your best inquisitor.

Yes, Friar Tomas
enjoyed his work.

He could get a
confession out of anyone.

Unfortunately, he
was also very clumsy.

God works in
mysterious ways. Wine?

Indeed he does.

Excuse me, your Grace,

but I believe my
work here is done.

Drop your weapons!

Simon! Quick!

He's wounded.
What happened?

He's losing a lot of
blood. We need to stop it.

Help me, help me before
he bleeds to death.

Let him rest.

Meg told me that
you saw the amulet.

It's obvious from your
reaction you know what it is.

I've been helping
Guillaume search

for the Magdala Rose ever
since he told me about it.

It's described in a manuscript
found in the Holy Land.

Why did Meg have it?

I thought it would
be safer with her.

No one would expect
a child to have it.

I'm surprised that Bertrand
ever trusted you with it.

The Cathars only had the
writings of Mary, and knew

of my connection to her.

They were never aware
I had the amulet.

What connection?

I am the only surviving
descendant of Mary.

I was told by my mother

that Mary Magdalene
wore the Rose amulet

at the crucifixion of Jesus.

And that it had his blood on it.

What about Meg? I thought
you two were related.

No.

I was just living with
her family at the time

of the attack.

They were helping me to hide
from the Catholic persecution.

How does the book
fit into all this?

I don't know yet.

I haven't had much of
an opportunity to study

it more closely.

However, I did find a drawing

of the Rose along
with a short quote

from the teachings of Moses.

What did it say? Did
it mention the treasure?

No. No, it just said that
the life was in the blood.

I'm not sure if
it's significant.

Nothing about any treasure.

Simon.

Wait here.

My dear friend, it looks
like my journey is almost over.

There is no longer
any place left

for intrigue or deception.

Is there anything I
can do? Anything at all?

Don't waste your life
pursuing myths and fables.

Life is short.

I hope you discover
what you need to know.

Maybe one day you will
find your treasure.

I seek no treasure, my lord.

My only desire was
to find answers

as to why this small
relic is so important

people would kill for it.

So you have had it
this the whole time?

It's just an old amulet,
it's nothing really.

That and a book full
of confusing riddles.

No treasures, just a lot of
senseless killing and greed.

God is greater than all that,

his spirit lives in all of us.

If God was truly with us,

he wouldn't let you die.

He would know my prayers.

What is happening?

It all makes sense
now. The blood of Jesus.

The life is in the blood.

You look much better.

I feel like I've
slept for a week.

Is there any food left?

Very little. We
should probably move on.

The mercenaries will be
disbanding and I expect

that the soldiers will
moving back to Carcassonne.

Well, then we head west.

We will take the girls there.

They will be safe at
one of the nunneries.

Now that we have the
Magdala Rose and the book,

we can then decipher the
Scrolls of the Temple.

While you've been
asleep, I've been reading.

There's no mention
of any treasure.

And there's no way
you're going to dump me

and Meg in a nunnery
while you go off

on your Templar quest.

We must find the grail
before the others do.

It is the most
powerful of all relics.

The grail is just a legend.

No, it exists and the Rose
is the key to finding it.

Then we'll find it together.

All right then, enough talk.

Let's get moving.
