:26:02
Glance around you, sire.
What you see is all we've saved...
:26:06
...from every home we tried to make.
:26:09
A toy or two from every land
that cast us out.
:26:12
I am not a rich man, Sir lvanhoe.
:26:14
No, but you are the patriarch
of your tribe.
:26:18
Tell your people Richard must be ransomed.
They will find the wealth.
:26:22
I see you love Richard, sire...
:26:24
...but he was no friend to my people.
:26:27
Our synagogues were looted
to send him on his crusades.
:26:30
Do you prefer the persecution
of his brother, John?
:26:34
There is little to choose between Black John
and Richard, yea and nay, if you are a Jew.
:26:40
Then I pledge you this, Isaac.
You're a race without a home or a country.
:26:45
Deliver Richard, and he will deliver
your people from persecution.
:26:49
My friend, you ask for more
than we can give.
:26:53
- And you offer more than Richard can give.
- Do you doubt my word?
:26:56
Write down whatever terms you want.
I shall sign them in King Richard's name.
:27:02
We shall need no pledge on paper,
you and I.
:27:06
Let Richard promise this instead.
:27:10
Let him promise justice to each man...
:27:13
...whether he be Saxon
or Norman or Jew...
:27:17
...for justice belongs to all men...
:27:19
...or it belongs to none.
:27:22
But that is a Christian teaching.
:27:24
Strange as it may be, sire,
we are taught it too.
:27:29
What you ask shall be done.
:27:31
So be it, then. Whatever money
you cannot find among your own people...
:27:35
...I shall try to find it for you.
:27:38
Does that fulfill our pact?
:27:40
Not quite.
:27:42
This combat at arms at Ashby
is a weather vane...
:27:45
...to test the strength of John.
:27:50
If his knights were to sweep the field,
how would it go with Richard's cause?
:27:55
Badly, sire. Money takes fright
when might conquers right.
