1052 AFTER THE FALL OF ISFAHAN TO THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE SELJUKS,
MODERN MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS BEEN OUTLAWED IN PERSIA.
The disciples of the revolutionary physician Avicenn are forced to flee.
IN SEARCH OF A NEW PLACE TO TEACH AND PRACTICE. AMONG THEM IS ENGLISHMAN ROB COLE,
CARRYING WITH HIM THE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF HIS TEACHER IN THE FORM OF THE LEGENDARY "CANON OF MEDICAL SCIENCE"
He will live.
Don't believe me?
Ask your gift.
Come on.
Let's.
I don't feel death.
Bring your wife some food.
I'm dying of hunger.
Maybe lamb stew?
No spices, not a drop.
If I had known about the wonderful English cuisine before, I would never have married an Englishman.
No matter how beautiful he is.
So you're already dreaming of returning to the desert?
Look! Glory to you, Lord Almighty!
England.
England, come on, come on, hurry up.
England!
There she is.
Skip the lady with the belly!
We are home.
Hey guys!
What are we going to do?
Let's build a great mattress!
We will be glorified!
Or you can turn the ship around and head to Cordoba,
where the sun always shines. - No, not again.
Push, Rebecca!
Push!
Tell me to push again and I'll slit your throat!
- I'll give you the knife when we're done! - Rob, the umbilical cord!
I can see it written all over your face when the umbilical cord is wrapped around your neck!
- Very important! - Izak, I know how to deliver a baby!
Remove the canon.
Push, Rebecca.
- Once again. - I can't!
Boy!
It's a boy!
I love you.
DOCTOR 2 THE LEGACY OF AVICENNA
Quiet.
I'll come back.
Where is he? Where is he?
Canon.
Great work!
All the most important knowledge!
- And how will the Lord forgive me! - Hey.
Hey!
You saved him!
He's here!
Rebecca!
My friend,
would you eat?
- Did you send people to inspect the bay? - Yes.
And I watched it myself.
Far along the shore.
In both directions.
Listen,
We can't stay on the beach any longer.
We need to move. - Go!
Let's.
And I will look for her.
She's dead!
Rob!
Listen.
You brought us here.
To your country.
You said we were needed here.
Very much needed.
because we have something to share.
Many of us died yesterday for your dream.
Don't let us down.
We need you.
And your son needs you.
I can't.
I just can't.
We'll help, Rob.
What kind of church is this?
These are probably court jesters.
So serious that there is no time for jokes.
They will probably tire the queen out and hang them within a week.
- Hello. - We are doctors from Isfahan.
- Hello. - Hello. - Yes, we are.
arrived to appear before the healers' guild.
- Where did he say that from? - Isfahan.
- Never heard of it. - It's Norwich's.
Is it true?
Yes, I have relatives there.
This is Ipswich, not Isfahan.
It depends on how you pronounce it.
Depends on the accent.
- Isfahan is a great city. - Yes, this gentleman is right.
- Ipswich. - Ipswich, that is.
But for this funny horse of yours there is double payment.
Great.
Jews and Muslims must leave the city before sunset.
My friend, how does it feel to be back home?
Not much has changed here.
It still smells of stew and shit.
Who said we would be celebrated when we arrive?
Hey!
Thief!
Give me back my wallet.
Wait, man.
Stop thief!
Stop!
Krisenysh!
Hey, stop! Stop him!
Get lost!
Krisenysh.
- Let me help you. - Go to hell.
- Don't hit me! You've driven me like a ferret. - Don't be afraid.
- I will never steal again! - Calm down.
- I'll become a monk. - Don't be afraid.
I won't touch you.
Your mother!
Maybe Mister Ferret can help me find the Healers' Guild?
For singing, I will show you where the doctors operate.
He fixed your shoulder, and you want money.
- Get lost. - He wasn't asked to do this.
I need something to live on.
I'm not in a position to share anything for free.
What does he do with hot iron?
Yeah, the famous hemorrhoid remedy.
- And it cures it? - No.
But they start thinking about something else.
So you, freak doctors, set my hand.
We are hakims.
What is a hakim?
It sounds like a coughing sound.
When a woman does not become pregnant, it is said that the uterus wanders around the body in
searching for something to fill it with.
People use unpleasant smells to drive it away from their heads,
and they lure you back between your legs with sweets.
We will be rich.
There is money lying around on the streets here.
This is why we are here.
Sorry.
Doctor! Doctor!
How many times have I told you,
that there is only one place for him and those like him and it is not here.
Send him to the caves!
Please, you are the royal physician.
You must do something.
See how the Almighty punishes all the pagans.
Why do people think they are witches?
They are not sorcerers, they are Celts.
They are sorcerers.
They eat the hearts of Christians and will kill the king and everyone else if they are not gotten rid of.
And it's true, because everyone says so. Amen.
Just because someone says it doesn't make it true.
Tell this to the bishop.
See with your own eyes how the Most High punishes all the pagans.
Look!
So be it!
Kill one woman, another will die!
Behold! With my eyes.
What have they done?
God punishes those who do not believe in him. - They just got caught.
The king takes them down in the village, and these guys bring a couple to the city for our amusement.
Lord Godwin is not too happy.
Who?
Commander of the army.
And at the queen's beck and call.
Your mother.
Behind him!
If she has another miscarriage, I can
recommend to Her Highness that you be executed quickly,
considering the fact that you are the queen's physician.
Sorry.
What is your name?
Rob.
Rob Cole.
And this is Izak Gabay.
Rob Cole.
Christian name.
But you're dressed like...
I don't even know what you're dressed like.
Like the Jews or
as Muslims. - Does that matter?
We believe in medicine
and science, and we brought knowledge from the other end of the world.
I'm afraid Jews cannot practice medicine in this city.
So please stop spending
our time. - Yes.
We, my colleagues and I, studied at the great madrasa of Avicenna.
We want to build a new madrasah in London with your help.
The Great Avicenna is a Muslim myth.
There are rumors of his greatness, but no one has seen him.
Nobody knows about his scientific works.
This is his scientific canon.
He entrusted it to me before he died so that I could continue his legacy.
His knowledge far exceeds what is known in the West.
If we build a madrasa in London, it will shed light on
the ignorant medicine practiced here.
It is quite tiresome when the Jews in the city point out our ignorance.
It's even offensive.
- He developed a modern… - Guards! In the neck!
Listen…
No, we... We have discovered new ways to treat people!
The king is extremely upset.
You can assure the king that they will be caught before sunset.
But the king is quite puzzled as to how they were able to escape so easily.
Even the old woman ran away.
If I could report to the king personally, I would...
I would explain everything to him.
I understand your confusion, Lord Godwin.
But the king asks you to explain it to me.
These executions...
They, they make people afraid.
Celtic...
Witchcraft.
All these stories sow panic among them.
The king considers them sorcerers.
And you, Lord Godwin?
No one will ever come to us.
Don't trust our knowledge.
We are considered vile infidels.
who are allowed to live only here, in the slums.
Rob, what's your plan?
I don't have it.
If only you knew what one righteous thief had to do for these beauties.
I could have stolen them straight from the barrel, but would I have?
No, good gentlemen.
Amazing.
I was hoping for hummus with dried apricots, but it will do.
- How do you eat it? - Smoked or dried.
Sometimes in a pie, but...
Amen, and it's not bad raw either.
Hey!
Hello.
Assalamu alaikum.
How can we help?
They say you are barbers or something like that.
This is true?
We are hakims.
Hakims?
Scientists-barbers.
I don't care what you call yourself.
You treat burns.
Damn washers!
Hey, I need a horse!
And I'll scream until I get it, damn you!
What kind of jokes are these?
Calm down, okay?
They'll look at your leg!
These clowns!
I just need a horse!
He can't stay.
- May your cruel heart wither! - There's a witch here.
Don't even think about trying to trick us!
I have protection!
Your leg is infected.
When the infection spreads throughout your body, you will die.
We have no choice.
The leg needs to be cut off.
Fall into ruin!
Burn with hellfire!
Death to your scum!
Death to your family!
May the spirits take you!
I don't think he wants you to cut off his leg.
Okay, you're lucky.
It is unlikely that the infection has spread.
Do you know what's going on there?
You know?
They will burn my village if there is no one to stand up for it.
Bad queen!
She is the devil himself!
Every girl, old woman and child.
I swear I'll kill them all before they get to me.
Isn't the queen herself a Celt?
Been away for a while, boy.
Queen Allana died long ago.
Her daughter Ilena went mad.
She is being held captive in a distant monastery.
There are rumors that she is possessed by demons.
Poor thing.
The king took a new wife.
The Christian lady of the court, she
became the beginning of our end.
Beautiful Queen Mercia.
Always pregnant, but her children do not survive.
Pray that it will be a strong king, a healer.
Boy.
I won't ask how you made him
to believe that in his condition he could still conceive a child.
I got him drunk and told him exactly what he wanted to hear.
Lord Godwin asks for the Queen's physician.
He seems to be in despair.
Do your duty.
I give permission.
In my mercy.
We'll wait.
What was her name?
The baby's mother.
Rebecca.
Her name was Rebecca.
How did she die?
No way, we still haven't found the body.
Losing those you love
incomprehensible,
unimaginable, unbearable, but
Life takes deeper root after accepting a great loss.
A great loss means,
that an even greater destiny is revealed to you.
Thanks for rocking him to sleep.
Go.
home.
I bled her, emptied her stomach and gave her herbs to beat the fever.
AND?
When will she get better?
The fever will not go away and she will fight for every breath.
Until he can no longer fight.
There must be a way, you
Queen's physician, damn you.
Do you think I don't want to save her?
I didn't become a doctor to watch people die from fever.
But in this case, my friend, I am powerless.
I pray to God that this is not so.
And out of respect for you
I'm telling the truth,
to relieve you of pain
illusions.
You just need to be patient.
Everything will be fine.
Me, me...
- I don't want to die! - No.
I don't want!
I don't want to die!
My sweet child.
My son, my child.
Please leave me alone.
Son,
I can't predict your future, I'm not a fortune teller.
But I can tell you, son,
if you don't heal
this pain in my soul,
you will die.
And you will become cold, evil and enter the most terrible hell.
Pain in the soul cannot be cured like pain in the body.
I'm sure your medical teacher knows a lot from afar.
But let me tell you, son,
we old women know more and the price for learning is less,
because it is written here.
Feel.
Don't think, child.
Feel.
Treatment should be based on science, not magic and sacraments.
No, treatment should be based on where the cause of the pain lies.
Not on science, not on superstition, but on the softness of the human heart.
And you know it because you feel it.
And not only you.
- You're dying. - Yes.
But first, Morrigan
can give you a second gift, you know?
The gift of healing the soul.
Spirit of herbs
will help you enter the darkness.
You feel death,
and now I have to meet her.
We need to go below the surface, son.
You need to give up control,
so that the goddess of the night could help.
So that she could take the pain from her heart with her love.
We're going down, we're going down,
under the protection of water, under the protection of waves,
under the protection of darkness and under the protection of the night.
We are descending, we are descending under the protection of the water, under the protection of the waves,
under the protection of darkness, under the protection of the night.
We are descending, we are descending under the protection of the water, under the protection of the waves,
under the protection of darkness, under the protection of the night.
We are descending, we are descending under the protection of the water, under the protection of the waves,
under the protection of darkness, under the protection of the night.
Do you see the sea?
Where is the sea, do you see the sea?
A storm is approaching.
You need to go inside.
Deeper into the dark waters, boy.
Do you feel it?
Storm!
Everything breaks.
Walls.
Chairs.
Where is Rebecca?
In my arms.
I love you.
Where
Rebecca?
- In my arms. - No.
Only the truth can free the boy's soul.
Where is Rebecca?
Rebecca!
God.
You must accept this grief as your own.
This makes him a saint.
Understand?
Now she lives here.
She's in the air.
She is in the ground, she is in the water.
And in the rays of the sun that wake you up.
Thank you.
Now I will return north to die among my people.
This is my destiny.
Heal your soul and the souls of people.
This is your destiny.
You will be called
Man.
A new beginning.
There are a bunch of soldiers there looking for the Celts.
They are out for blood.
Oh.
No.
I will not throw a wounded man out into the street to die.
All these people are here.
If we don't treat them, then who are we?
We are prohibited from providing treatment.
- Have you forgotten? - Why do we need permission to work?
Hospital.
These are her doctors.
They are marble columns.
We will work here.
Right here, outside the city walls.
where the tormented eyes of poverty and injustice look straight at us.
Great, and we'll be the next ones thrown into the fire?
I'm afraid Abu is right.
Listen.
I'm scared too.
Is it true?
I can't promise it won't end terribly.
If you want to leave,
You are free to do so.
But if you stay,
I'm sure,
that together, right here,
We can start building the future.
Hey, I can free up my schedule and help.
OK.
Get up!
- How do you do it? - Quickly, like pulling out a hair.
Touch my hair and I'll cut it all off.
You may go and meet your fate, sir.
We don't keep Celts here.
And you need a bath.
Great.
Come on, people, get in line.
You two over there, come on, get up.
Live, live.
Ferret,
If you're going to stay, do your part.
Here you go.
Follow me.
Apply this ointment.
In the morning and in the evening.
And the abscess will quickly go away.
I can't pay for it with money, but I can give parsnips.
I'm fine with that.
We love parsnips.
Someone is not entirely happy.
When I was here that time and saw that there was a child here,
but there is no woman,
I decided you couldn't handle it.
So I
brought him clothes.
You are very kind.
The scent of the emperor.
- It's just a potion for... - No, no, no.
He needs to be changed.
Ugh.
Thank you.
Lie down here.
Let's change now.
Like this.
This needs to be bandaged.
What's happened?
I was cutting carrots.
Oh, carrots.
One man
bit me.
Sit down, I'll take a look.
Yes.
Trying to remember the Celtic ritual that healed my soul.
Old witches.
If I hadn't seen the change in you, I would have laughed at you.
Don't be arrogant.
The library in Isfahan contained records of Egyptian sleep temples with similar rites.
The Greeks and Romans had them too.
Avicenna writes about how the mind influences the body.
Let's say, blushing, for example, from embarrassment.
He also described hypnosis,
where repressed memories are peeled away like layers of a painting, revealing
the picture hidden behind it.
That's exactly what I experienced with Morrigan.
Do you want to learn the witch method?
Izak I...
I would never have believed that being able to experience this moment would bring me peace.
To experience the one thing I didn't want to see anymore.
I could live my whole life,
not daring to take his son in his arms.
Then you need to learn everything about this new science.
What would Avicenna do?
I even came up with a name.
Philosophy of anime.
Treatment of the human soul.
Three celery, four beets.
Fine.
Ah, poor things.
Neither doctors nor priests will save them.
The devil took their souls.
Where are they taken?
To the Cave of Mercy.
This is an old quarry in the north.
They are taken care of there, but
no one comes back.
The best place to correct is the wife's mother.
Every guild member loses money.
Ten of my patients went to this Jew, barbarian and blockhead.
The charlatan must be making money from his primitive potions.
Don't worry, people will be back soon.
They always come back.
He treats them for free.
For free?
And he cured them.
All ten of them.
They say that no disease can escape the magic he learned from Avicenna.
Let's see how he laughs when I'm done with him and his
charlatan amulets.
I'll give you your bubble.
Okay, the exit is over there.
I'm looking for Rob Cole.
Sir, I'm afraid you'll have to go out and stand in line like everyone else.
I am the queen's physician.
I want to talk to him.
Certainly.
We met.
Follow me, please.
We are grateful that you have come to our humble hospital.
The queen's physician arrived.
Surprised to see you here.
Forgive me for my arrogance in meeting you, Mr. Cole.
I'm terribly ashamed.
I just came to learn what I don't know.
May I see Avicenna's canon?
You suggested showing it to the guild.
Please.
But first, watch the operation.
What are the patient's symptoms?
Heat and shortness of breath.
Sorry to tell you, but this is a waste of time.
This woman's days are numbered.
I treat her myself.
Yes, she will die.
without treatment.
Luckily, we know how to cure it.
Lady Aemma.
Fluid has accumulated around the lung,
making it difficult for you to breathe and suffocating you.
I'll try to remove the liquid.
You will try, exactly.
You are killing her.
Healer Hannah.
You can assist if you wish.
Abu will give instructions.
Lady Aemma, listen.
You have children, right?
You would like to see them grow up and get married
and give you grandchildren?
Please,
try not to resist.
Hold her.
You kill her!
Ferret.
God, you've gained weight.
If she survives,
You have done the impossible.
Everyone I saw with these symptoms died.
What is this?
Bowel disease procedure.
Do you treat bowel disease?
With your patronage, healer,
We could work inside the city walls as well as outside.
How much do you want for the book?
Canon is not for sale.
It is for everyone.
I can make you rich.
Right now, if you sell me the book.
I can protect you.
Protect me?
From whom?
From your enemies.
In the Guild.
You will be burned for necromancy.
You cut open the corpses to find out what was inside.
This is the only way you could learn it.
This is your second deadly sin.
And what was the first one?
Take money from their pockets.
Patients are waiting for me.
No, no, no more.
More company does not seem necessary, my queen.
The tribes were defeated and pushed back to the north, and we
We have lost enough brothers and sons.
Pagans in alliance with Lucifer.
We must continue until our land is cleared of them.
Every five.
Clean.
My Lords!
We want to go to war again!
This is a holy war, gentlemen.
King
wants us to respond to this call.
My Lords! My Lords!
Listen, this is
Rob Cole, the doctor who just... - Whoever this man was,
This is not the time for an unexpected visit, Lord Godwin.
But this man, he can cure the king.
I,
As the king's physician, I forbid this impudent Jew to approach his majesty.
The Queen's Physician
said that nothing could save my wife.
That's right,
What about a Jew, as you put it,
he saved her.
At the same time, you sir,
How long did you treat the king?
A whole year?
And he is just as sick as on the first day.
The king does not wish to be examined by this man.
With all due respect, I beg to differ.
I believe the king deserves every chance he gets to recover.
He deserves a chance, please.
Give him a chance!
Why is it so dark?
Sunlight poses a threat to the king.
Contact with it causes the skin to blister.
Your Majesty, my name is Rob Cole.
I am a doctor.
Will you allow me to examine you?
- Can I have some light? - Wait!
- Your Majesty, after all we have achieved... - Bring a candle.
You haven't seen the sun for a whole year?
Well,
Whatever you were sick with a year ago, the illness is long gone.
I saw people without skin pigmentation, and the sun
and it really does harm them.
But your skin is not like that.
Your body is fading away due to oversight.
That's all.
You need to open the curtains and let your body breathe in the light.
No no!
He will not kill the king!
Leofric,
We have trusted you for many years, haven't we?
This darkness is killing you.
And not the sun.
Tear down these curtains.
Quiet, king!
Long live the king!
He invited lords from all over the country.
He ordered them to have a feast.
The ointment contains only clay and herbs,
almond oil, ground pearls and a little saffron.
A couple more days.
Especially when you're outside.
The skin must gradually get used to sunlight.
I am so grateful to you, Jew.
Name the price.
Well, basically we get paid in parsnips for our services.
Parsnip.
Have a better idea?
Something worthy of saving the king's life.
Here it is.
Yeah, yeah, don't go overboard with the fatty stuff, okay, fine.
Listen carefully.
No eel from now on.
Be careful with statements like that, or they'll come back and bite you in the ass.
Come on, you don't drink enough, buddy.
No no.
I slept for a whole year.
Our days are numbered.
We simply acted according to our medical knowledge.
Why are you so calm, my friend?
The king is not a fool.
He will soon understand that it was you and the queen who ordered me to keep him sick.
I have nothing to fear.
- And there is no motive. - There is no motive?
You became rich by caring for the sick king.
I swear to God, I won't go down alone.
Your king has returned.
rose from the dead,
from the evil shadows
ignorance
and deception.
But you know me as the king of mercy, peace and prosperity.
So let's leave the past in the past
and let's look into the future.
Meet
new royal physician.
And the caretaker
the greatest hospital this world has ever seen.
We need to get rid of him.
If it's not too late.
The king won't believe him.
I am the beloved mother of his heir.
Trust in God.
You won't be the first wife he kills.
Saviors of the king, you all deserve fresh apples.
Well, now the king wants me to visit his daughter, Princess Ilena.
and restored her health.
What is she sick with?
He says that she has a mental illness, that she lives with demons.
Rob, this is a job for a priest, not a doctor.
Ah, the philosophy of anime.
Your new science.
Buddy, you are a healer.
You shouldn't get involved in politics.
I think the king can be trusted.
You are sure?
Lady Godwin,
The king was glad to hear of your recovery from your illness.
And I am grateful that my king has recovered from his illness, my queen.
It's like a miracle.
And it's strong enough to travel.
What a wonderful surprise.
That is true, your majesty.
Tomorrow he and Doctor Cole are leaving for a couple of days.
Dig up more infidels and rule our country?
They are going to the monastery of St. Peter,
Your Majesty.
When I became king I thought I could rule this land,
its tribes and religions with the help of the sword.
But then I met Alanna
and thought that by marrying a Celtic princess,
I can unite this country with our love.
I was wrong.
God punished me for marrying a pagan.
After the birth of Ilena
He killed every child that came out of Alanna's womb.
Even after her death.
He does not free me from this curse.
But inside me there is a prince, my king.
And he will be as strong as you.
I wish I could believe it, my love.
But if he dies like the others,
The heir I will leave to this country will be Ilena.
When did she get sick?
In childhood.
Stand up.
Take my physician to my daughter, Sister Mary.
You must prepare yourself,
before examining it.
The demon holds her in his claws
and she doesn't act like a human anymore.
Only sisters with the strongest faith can take care of her.
My name is Rob.
Rob Cole.
Will you let me stay with you?
Sorry it's so cold here.
Maybe I can help with that.
Are you hungry?
It looks unappetizing.
No wonder you didn't touch it.
Go away!
Sisters!
In the name of the Lord, I command you to leave this child!
In the name of the Lord I command you to leave!
She won't get better if you keep her like an animal.
But the devil is a wild animal.
Don't you know the Scriptures?
I know that Jesus treated everyone with love and compassion.
Just like us.
As his physician, the king entrusted me with treating his daughter.
Tomorrow
Let's start anew.
As requested.
Apples.
She'll just throw them at you.
Do you really know what you're doing, Mr. Cole?
I brought you some apples.
If you want,
I can take off this terrible straitjacket.
They say you can't have apples.
You threw them.
They say you also threw tables and chairs.
I said I don't mind.
Throw it at me.
Delicious, right?
Next time I'll bring a sugar-coated apple.
Now he is my reason to live.
At first I couldn't take it, the pain was too strong.
But with the help of my friends, I learned to love him and now he is my reason to live on.
My mother's name was Anna.
She died when I was young.
I miss her very much.
I...
I... I... I...
There is a devil inside me.
Go away, Rob Cole!
Leave!
No.
When I was a child I
I also drew on the walls.
It drove my mother crazy.
This infuriated her.
But I couldn't resist.
I needed to let out what was in my head
outward.
They are wonderful.
You are very talented.
What is this?
Looks like...
on a deer.
Ilena?
Ilena, is everything okay?
Is everything okay, Ilena?
Hey, is everything okay?
This is a mask for the dance of death.
This is entertainment at court.
After the feast, the figure of death enters and takes everyone by the hand.
Metaphors, I suppose?
To show that death will come for everyone.
But there is also this.
That's what scares her.
If you explain what this means
Your Majesty, I could understand the reason for her pain.
What does this have to do with anything?
I kept thinking about what it was like for you when I was sick.
It must have been difficult for you.
The time of power is on your shoulders.
Or you
got used to her,
My love?
And I think of that devilish spawn of Leofric, dead for all to see.
I can just imagine,
how every bone in his body was broken.
And that makes me happy.
For every second, every minute, every day that he stole from me,
he suffered.
I will crumble
bones to anyone,
if he tries to take my life.
Do you understand, Mercia?
I need my doctor.
Where does it hurt?
Did it start a long time ago?
Men are fools.
Got it?
Yes.
I'll poison the ointment right now.
Come in, come in, do what needs to be done.
I'd like to see you fight with an apple.
Did you know they call me the Ghost King?
I even like it.
And yet
I'm looking forward to not having to deal with this anymore.
What are your plans for today?
I'll try to put her into a trance state today.
This will allow us to see what is hidden in the depths of her soul.
And you learned this from the Moors?
Among the Celts.
So it's witchcraft?
No sir, it is
treatment method.
A way for the heart to cope with what it cannot cope with on its own.
Not so long ago
I experienced something,
what changed my life
and opened the door to her healing.
I can't promise that I know exactly what I'm doing,
but I can say,
what if we do this together,
We can set you on the path to healing your soul.
The devil is here!
He's here! The devil is here!
The devil is here! No!
- No! No! No! No! No! - Everything is fine.
Open up!
Open the door!
Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with negligence,
and cursed is he who keeps his sword from shedding blood.
For the king
our lord
died!
Killed by a Jewish doctor!
Acting on behalf of the Celtic pagans
sowing rebellion on our land!
Hey, fucking Celt, where are you going?
Without telling anyone.
What is this shit?
- After everything we've done? - Hey, listen to me.
I don't like saying goodbye, okay?
This doesn't mean that I don't care about you.
You could have tried to do that, you idiot.
Do it for me.
A?
Another.
I need to leave before it's too late.
I must help my brothers and sisters in the North.
If I don't come back now, there will be nothing left but ashes.
Stand still.
Stay tuned, get more when you find the book.
Help, we are healers.
You are destroying knowledge.
Here it is, don't let fools destroy it.
Give it to me.
You are a fool.
Nice to meet you, doctor.
Isaac, Isaac, don't die!
Let's go! Quickly!
Get up! Get up!
Fool!
You could have become the richest boy in London!
Give me this book.
Don't despair.
I will take care of your treasure.
Where are the rest?
Students, where are they?
Everyone is dead.
- Get out. - Get out.
You killed our king, get out of here.
Rats are smelly.
Damn you.
Master Avicenna.
How nice to meet you.
Finally.
Queen Mercia is declared regent until she comes of age
unborn child, the legitimate heir to the throne.
When the king changed the order of succession,
Princess Ilena, his only living child,
You don't want a devil-possessed rule, do you?
Who said this?
We haven't seen her here for many years.
Are you saying that I am lying to you?
I want to say,
that proof is needed that she is not capable of ascending to the throne.
My Lords, silence!
Show respect to the late king.
I assure you that we will have an heir to the throne who...
Our king and god have chosen for this country.
Bring Ilena.
No, Ilena!
It is a mortal sin, Lord Godwin.
This is the Queen's command, Sister Mary.
Princess Ilena is dead.
She committed suicide.
Princess Ilena killed herself out of grief.
She did it, why, how?
Your Majesty.
Look at me, everything will be fine.
Please be patient.
Please.
Queen Regent has been in labor for 12 hours and is very weak.
The child never appeared.
I used all my knowledge, but both mother and child were on the verge of death.
Let my son and my friends go and swear that you will not harm them.
Yes, but save her first.
She ordered you to kill the king, didn't she?
You added aconite to the ointment.
Only this poison is absorbed through the skin.
- Was she worth it? - You will be forgiven, I will send for your son, but
For God's sake, help her quickly!
And Princess Ilena under my care?
- Yes, yes, yes! - Lord Godwin,
You and the Almighty are witnesses to his promise. - Come on already.
Please, yes!
- You need to cut the belly. - It's too dangerous.
Neither the Queen Regent nor the child can die.
They can and will die,
if you don't cut open your stomach.
Thank you.
Yes.
Take it.
Go.
This is a girl.
Beautiful, healthy girl.
Thank you, doctor.
Take the prisoner to the place of execution.
Alive.
My queen.
We swore before God that he would live.
She is sleeping.
Go.
Go away, I say.
For heaven's sake, you are free.
All of you.
Find the princess.
Heal her.
Maybe you can help our country.
Drive this demon queen off the throne.
Where is Ilena?
She took refuge in the caves of mercy.
Go.
Get them! Now!
Bring these bastards!
Alive or dead!
What are you doing, Lord Godwin?
What is right.
Hell awaits us all if we kill innocent people.
She killed the king.
She is our queen.
And you are dead.
Good fencing, you learned your lesson well.
He was a good teacher.
Lack of experience.
It was worth it Godwin,
die for these people?
Forgive me.
Don't be afraid.
We've gotten out of worse scrapes.
What are you thinking about?
All I wanted was to save lives.
And look,
my path is strewn with corpses.
You saved mine.
We will be taken to France in exchange for Rose's savings.
From there
Let's go to Cordoba.
I've always said that.
Always knew.
I won't go with you.
God.
He's gone crazy again.
I must find the princess.
Rob, stop taking risks.
You will die if you stay.
Ilena.
The only one who can unite people in this country.
Just as the king wanted.
I have to take her to Morrigan.
I hope it helps her.
To the north
in Nod's sanctuary... - Enough, Rob.
Look, this is a mistake.
For God's sake.
I have to try, Abu.
I have to try.
This is my destiny.
If Rebecca had to die for me to learn how to heal the soul,
For Ilena to unite the people of this country, I must use this knowledge,
to...
To her death
meant something.
Cold.
Which boat shall we steal?
I will take care of your son and Izyk.
And you come back quickly.
Can you hear me?
Bow down before our queen!
They are in Madvik near Tenza.
They say it's pure hell there.
If you don't return before sunset,
We will raise the anchor and pray for your souls.
Goodbye.
They are all sick there, life means nothing to them.
Oh Almighty, what are these creatures?
- What a sight. - Like hellish beasts.
These are sick people.
They deserve help, not fear.
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Everything is fine.
We do not wish you harm.
We are looking for a girl
with long red hair.
Her name is Ilena.
She arrived about a week ago.
Have you seen her?
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Back!
They look hospitable.
They probably haven't had guests for a long time.
Smells good, huh?
Rob, this is human flesh.
No, no, no, no.
No, no. Back!
Don't touch her!
Run, run, run!
Run!
- What do you want? - We're looking for a Jew with a baby.
Well, how big is this cave?
The fisherman said no one knows.
Nobody has come out yet.
No, no, no, don't tell me that.
Ilena?
Ilena!
- Next time I suggest Cordoba... - We'll listen to you.
Don't come near!
- Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. - What's wrong with him?
Hey!
We've already met.
In the city.
We are looking for a girl with red hair.
Have you seen her?
Quiet.
Ilena.
It's me.
Rob.
The butterfly signifies new life.
Yes!
See, this is where I used to run as a kid.
naked, thinking I could fly if I tried.
Morrigan Valley.
Come here, I can't see you.
Life is a grueling struggle, isn't it?
I'm so tired, I haven't slept for days.
I love babies.
My daughter is only four weeks old.
I'll hold?
Well?
Like this.
The baby must be missing his father.
Do you by any chance know where he is?
Sailed to France.
To France?
And left you here?
I don't believe you.
You understand that it is within my power to make you talk.
I understand.
You are threatening to kill three innocent people.
I am not threatening to kill anyone.
What nonsense?
Well, certainly not you.
Such a young life.
So fragile.
I've lost so many like that.
A breath of wind
and they are not there.
He
went north to look for Princess Ilena.
Good luck.
Well, she's dead.
Your son?
She didn't live to be twenty.
Where are you going now?
Let's go north.
Seek refuge in settlements there.
The Queen's soldiers are everywhere now.
Is Morrigan the Healer not with you?
Morrigan?
She left.
She was very weak.
I don't know if I got there.
Duff.
The guy needs to be buried.
When your mother became queen, we had hope.
We didn't think we'd have to fight again, but that's all we did.
I saw the death of my father and brothers.
My mother was burned and I dug
too many graves.
Are you Princess Ilena?
Yes.
Was.
Please, no need to bow down.
I must bow down.
We all must.
- And? - We burned down every Celtic village in Cumberland.
But your troops met fierce resistance in Lodino.
They are encouraged by the rumor that Princess Elina is alive and with them.
The rumors are false.
Ilena is dead.
Is this an impostor?
Yes, my queen.
But as long as they believe she is alive, they will fight.
And not only the Celts.
There is a feeling in your army...
Yes?
…that the rightful queen does not sit on the throne.
I am only reporting what the soldiers told me.
Am I supposed to personally lead the army north and expose the impostor, or what?
Is that so?!
You are not feeling well.
If I can't sleep, I'll cook something that will help.
Do you want to poison me, doctor?
I came to ask for your help.
Help?
Here
the secrets of modern healing are kept, something that can save my very soul,
but I don't understand anything.
I need Rob Cole's friend to teach me.
Spare the ego.
For me.
For the whole world.
Look.
I can become famous as the greatest healer
of our time, and you, as Queen Regent,
that transformed medicine.
Without understanding this book, my life is meaningless.
How pathetic you have become.
Let's not shed any more blood.
They will be executed tomorrow.
And I am heading north to kill the rest of the infidels.
I have been ordered to deliver the prisoners to the queen.
Let's go.
Keep your head down when passing through the gate.
You won't be stopped today.
Take this.
Take it.
I have killed for the sake of wisdom that I cannot comprehend.
Knowledge must be saved before it is too late.
May your soul find peace.
I'm sorry.
Lord Almighty,
forgive the poor sinner.
Princess Ilena! Princess Ilena!
Princess Ilena!
Your Majesty.
- Princess... - Look here.
over there.
Morrigan?
I'm Rob Cole, you helped me in London.
She's here.
You brought her.
We've come so far to find you.
But her soul
suffers, is ill.
If you cure her, it will give hope to everyone who is fighting.
You still managed to find your great destiny, my boy.
Morrigan, I...
I would heal her, but I don't have your knowledge.
Take me to the sanctuary of Noddens.
There the goddess grants me
the last path.
Morrigan, do you want me to...
You can do it without her.
I'm not sure.
You can do it.
Together, Rob Cole.
You and me.
I want to be healed.
You are a child again.
You are a child.
Do you see the dance of death?
Yes.
Who else is there?
My father.
Who else?
Who else is there?
My friend.
Who is your friend?
She's just my friend.
You see a man with horns.
What do you see?
My mother.
My friend tells me to tell my father everything.
- Who is it? - There was no need to tell him.
If I hadn't said so, she...
He killed her because I told him to.
He killed them all.
It's my fault.
I didn't want to watch.
But my friend...
My friend forced me to.
She tells me that my unfaithful mother is evil.
She tells me that the Celts are evil.
She says I am the product of evil blood.
Who is your friend?
- I don't know. - Who is your friend?
I don't know.
I'd like to sharpen it.
It was a rite of passage for childbirth.
My mother
I dreamed of giving him a son.
And the man with horns?
Druid.
Mercia convinced my father that my mother was unfaithful.
And he killed her for it.
I saw everything.
She made me
look.
The enemy is approaching!
- The army of the Queen of Mercia. - Everyone to the gates.
The devil is here.
But he is not in me.
- Stop! - Stop!
- Stop! - This is what we were so afraid of.
You and your brave knights are blessed
and will be rewarded with eternal peace in paradise.
Well then, let's kill everyone.
Archers, forward!
Archers, get ready!
Ilena, no.
You can't go there.
Otherwise it's the end.
Pull!
Let it be!
Close the gate!
More people are needed to close the gates!
It's a new beginning, Rob Cole.
I know that.
Ilena.
Hold the gate.
Run, run, faster!
Let's.
Breathe.
- Hold it, hold it, with your left hand, with your left hand. - No, no!
What are you staring at?
Stop!
This?
Princess.
- Your Majesty. - Move away, move away.
Princess Ilena.
Is it really her?
The battle was short-lived.
She won't go into history books.
Let's find the so-called princess
and let's put an end to this pathetic game.
Are you alive?
Kill the impostor!
Alive!
Kill this impostor!
Right now!
Kill her!
Cut her throat!
That's what the impostor queen calls herself!
She blinded my father,
forcing me to kill my mother!
This fool couldn't see beyond his passions!
selfish and heartless.
He killed his own wife.
And then Mercia ordered my father, your king, to be poisoned.
And now she sends you
kill me.
Our land has been ruled by fear for too long.
I stand before you now,
like a Celt
and a Christian.
And I claim the throne in the name of peace.
I claim the throne
not for myself.
but for the sake of all of us.
When my father is a Christian
and the Celtic mother got married,
they dreamed of a united country,
a country blessed with peace
and prosperity for all.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
And you all dreamed with them.
I bow before the queen.
No.
It's all over.
On your knees if you value your life.
We are one.
We can bring this dream back.
How incomprehensible your judgments and decisions are.
And how inscrutable
and elusive are your ways.
I stand before you.
No!
Ilena!
I killed a half-breed!
Ilena!
You will live.
The connection between the soul and the patient's health is undeniable.
What the soul longs for is to be seen in its pain,
in its truth and accepted without condemnation from the mind.
There is much to learn from ancient rituals,
but the mysterious territory of the soul is vast
and it will take many centuries
and many brave doctors to shed light on it.
If it even works out.
Let these words spark the curiosity of those who come after us.
My queen,
Welcome.
Congratulations on your recent engagement.
Yeah, right.
I am advised that it would be right to enter into an alliance
with the Saxon lands of the West,
but I'm not sure about this game.
The head says it's wise, but
my heart...
What is this?
This is an ancient Egyptian rattle.
It was used for treatment.
What does it mean?
Will you translate for me?
Certainly.
It says here that the heart is the home of the soul.
It can speak to loved ones without words.
through time.
Thank you.
Rob Cole.
For my life.
I cured the dog, father.
Come on, I'll show you.
- How is my daughter? - She has your smile.
And your eyes.
Thank you very much.
So, Martan, are you ready for the exam?
The oils of this herb leave behind a subtle aroma.
By inhaling it, you change the state of your mind and body.
This will be useful for you to...
Come on, it won't hurt, just relax, okay.
Stop fooling around and help me.
