El Cid

Sleep now, my king, rest

Sleep now, my sweet love

Sleep in peace, I am here

Don't be afraid of the night

Don't be afraid, there's no reason

Don't be afraid of the night Next to me...

What's happening to me? What's happening?

It's a dream, my love. It was me, darling.

Velarde! My love, what's wrong with me?

It was me calling you, my love.

I've given him last rites.

Now he should confess.

A mirror!

-Mother! -Somebody bring him a mirror!

It's the mark of Cain.

You hit your head. You collapsed, my love.

Help me, please!

Thine is the power, thine is the kingdom,

for thou art above all things earthly.

This kingdom you granted me,

I now give it back to you.

Undress me.

I only beg you for my soul.

You find it hard to see the throne without Father.

You don't?

You're remarkable.

-I don't understand. -You're the calmest of us all.

You keep all your pain inside.

I suppose it was time.

A fact of life.

We'll all go down that road sooner or later.

I'm not talking about Father.

I'm talking about Sancho.

He'll take that throne.

Of course, he's the first-born.

You think he'll be a good king?

Do you think he'd be better than me?

No one would be a better king than you, Urraca. But you're a woman.

Oh, yes. Poor me.

I'm such a weak, fragile, and helpless being.

That's not it, and you know it.

Urraca...

Do you think I could be king?

Yes.

Yes! Yes!

If you'd just shake off your passivity!

My little brother.

Stay here and you can defy death every night by coming to see me.

In Zaragoza, there is a Christian community.

Do you have another lover in León?

I must go.

When you are truly a hero, you will come back to me.

You were the best warrior.

Accept this jineta sword as thanks.

Thank you.

Men like you are always welcome in Zaragoza.

You have a home here.

You are a sayyid.

I wish you all the best.

When we get to León, I'll ask the king to knight you.

You can return to the men.

Sir,

I don't want to impose on your generosity, but I want to make a request.

What would that be, exactly?

Allow your sage, Abu Bakr, to accompany me.

Will you teach us how to make astrolabes?

Of course.

Abu Bakr will go with you.

My father will be eternally grateful to you.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I don't think they want an astrolabe.

Clear as the water from my cistern.

What news from León put him in such a hurry to leave?

Go find out what is happening.

Yes, Your Highness.

Building an astrolabe for them is not the same as teaching them to use it.

I'm going to miss this place.

Because of the battle?

Yes, yes, the battle.

What did you do, you fool?

You touched skin you shouldn't have.

Prince Mundir knows it.

He has sentenced you to death.

Why didn't he do anything to me?

An Arab would never

harm anyone in the shelter of his hospitality.

-Amina! -No.

You're the one in danger, not her.

Amina is the Man's daughter.

Here they are.

The skull of Saint Isidore and the hand of Saint Martin.

Save me.

Save me.

Save me!

You still have time to confess.

My sin is too great. I killed my brothers.

They died on the battlefield.

I killed them.

I killed them.

Cain's sin was a terrible one.

But God is merciful.

Is there another sin that weighs on your mind?

No.

Do you not repent for the death of King Bermudo?

He also died in a battle that His Highness instigated.

I didn't instigate that battle.

That death does not weigh on my soul.

On whose does it, then?

The king needs me.

I hope you called me here for something important.

This is the papal bull of His Holiness.

With it, we can make you queen of León.

Do you still want it?

You know better than anyone this isn't how I wanted things.

But if this is God's will,

I accept the bull.

I will be queen of León.

What we know better than anyone else

is that you arranged the death of your brother, King Bermudo.

So it's true.

Good God.

Your own brother.

You only have one way out.

On the death of Fernando, you will marry me.

This bull will make you queen, and me, king.

Never.

One who was married to a lion cannot settle for a rat.

As you wish.

The question is what we're going to do upon the king's death.

Sancho is the rightful heir.

We can't let him come to rule.

He's Castilian scum, like his father.

Who are you thinking of?

Well, if a Count of Castile has worn the crown of León,

why not the Count of León himself?

Would Rome support me?

Leave me alone.

Who is this?

Where is the mother I admire so much?

Dying with your father.

Don't say that, Mother.

You've always been a pillar of strength.

I know this is a difficult time. I love Father too,

but you're going to be the Queen of León.

There's no crown.

There's nothing.

The nobles have turned against me.

But the papal bull...

There is no bull.

Your father...

Your father is dying.

We've lost everything. Everything.

Mother...

Flaín is going to take the throne. It's all become clear.

Mother, you don't need the bull if Father abdicates to you.

He's dying. Ask him.

He loves you.

León is yours by inheritance.

He has the loyalty of the nobility.

And most importantly,

he has Rome's support.

Trust me. Please.

I'll think of something. I won't let this stand.

You're very brave.

Sometimes, I wonder if I haven't been too hard on you.

You're a good daughter.

Count Flaín?

Count Flaín?

Jimena, come up.

-How can I help you? -I'm here to ask for a favor.

If it's in my power...

Release me from my engagement.

I see no reason to do so.

He tried to force himself on me.

"Tried."

I defended myself.

Consider your engagement annulled.

Long live the king!

-Long live the king! -Long live the king!

Hurray!

-Long live Sancho! -Long live Ruy!

Blessed be God!

Long live the king of León! Long live the king!

Long live Sancho! Hurray!

-Long live Sancho! -Hurray!

Are you Ruy?

Yes, that's me.

It's Ruy! The hero of Graus! It's him!

Long live Ruy! Long live the king!

Hurray for our brave men!

Long live Ruy!

Is it true that you killed 100 Aragonese in battle?

I didn't count them, but it wasn't 100.

-I did, I did! I killed 100! -I killed more!

Tell everyone that Álvar killed over 100 men.

Looks like we won't be sleeping alone tonight.

Long live Sancho!

-Long live the king! -Long live Sancho!

Trifón. Where is Trifón?

Long live León!
