El Cid

en
00:06:14 This is Spain...
00:06:16 one thousand and eighty years
00:06:20 It is a war-torn, unhappy land...
00:06:24 half Christian, half Moor.
00:06:28 This is the time and the story
00:06:32 known to history and to legend
00:06:38 He was a simple man who became
00:06:43 He rose above religious hatreds...
00:06:45 and called upon all Spaniards,
00:06:49 to face a common enemy who threatened
00:06:54 This enemy was gathering
00:06:57 across the Mediterranean Sea
00:07:02 He was the African emir, Ben Yusuf.
00:07:26 The Prophet has commanded us
00:07:32 Where in all your land of Spain
00:07:37 When men speak of you,
00:07:40 music makers, doctors, scientists.
00:07:43 Where are your warriors?
00:07:45 You dare call yourselves
00:07:48 You have become women!
00:07:52 Burn your books.
00:07:54 Make warriors of your poets.
00:07:57 Let your doctors invent
00:08:00 Let your scientists
00:08:03 And then, kill!
00:08:06 Burn.
00:08:08 Infidels live on your frontiers.
00:08:11 Encourage them to kill each other.
00:08:13 And when they are weak and torn...
00:08:16 I will sweep up from Africa...
00:08:19 and thus the empire of the one God,
00:08:22 - Allah is the one God.
00:08:25 First, across Spain.
00:08:28 Then, across Europe.
00:08:31 Then, the whole world!
00:08:57 Heavenly Father,
00:09:01 Once again they destroy our towns...
00:09:05 take our people in bondage.
00:09:07 Please help us, Father.
00:09:09 Send us someone...
00:09:11 who will take us to the light.
00:09:19 Father. Here. Come.
00:09:32 The Cross.
00:09:38 The Cross.
00:10:06 We couldn't save your village...
00:10:08 but we captured their leaders.
00:10:13 Who are you?
00:10:15 Rodrigo Diaz of Vivar.
00:10:20 Vivar?
00:10:22 You're a long way from home.
00:10:26 Sir, you are not dressed for battle.
00:10:30 This was to have been
00:10:35 How is it you came here, my son?
00:10:39 I thought this would be
00:10:48 We are ready, my lord.
00:10:52 No, Fanez.
00:11:32 No! Stop!
00:11:37 Fernando, put down those stones!
00:11:41 Welcome home, my son.
00:11:44 Here are some Moorish
00:11:46 We didn't expect
00:11:49 Are you holding them for tribute?
00:11:52 They're your prisoners, sir.
00:11:54 They're yours.
00:11:57 You must decide
00:12:00 Hang them! Now!
00:12:06 We are emir-- kings.
00:12:10 There will be a great ransom for you
00:12:14 You were ready enough to kill.
00:12:17 It would seem
00:12:19 I am ready, my Lord Rodrigo.
00:12:21 I have no great desire to live to see
00:12:26 What is coming for all of us?
00:12:28 Wars, death and destruction.
00:12:30 Blood and fire more terrible
00:12:55 Don Diego, I will take your prisoners
00:12:59 They are not my prisoners.
00:13:03 Oh, forgive me, Don Rodrigo.
00:13:06 Then it will be your prisoners we will
00:13:10 We will hang their bodies high
00:13:19 Don Ordonez, these prisoners
00:13:24 The King will be just as pleased
00:13:27 We've been killing them for years.
00:13:30 What has it brought us? Peace?
00:13:33 Hang me, and my sons
00:13:36 while a single Christian
00:13:39 What other way is there
00:13:43 Hang them now!
00:13:47 Do you want these people to live in fear
00:13:52 Antonio, do you want to see
00:13:57 Your villages destroyed?
00:14:00 Then kill them.
00:14:02 Don Diego, tell your son
00:14:06 to refuse to turn over prisoners
00:14:18 Rodrigo knows what he must do.
00:14:35 Do you solemnly pledge never again
00:14:40 I do.
00:14:59 Among our people,
00:15:02 with the vision to be just
00:15:06 We call such a man, "El Cid."
00:15:11 I, Moutamin, Emir of Saragossa...
00:15:14 pledge eternal friendship
00:15:16 and allegiance to his sovereign lord,
00:15:22 May Allah strike
00:15:24 and the flesh from my bones
00:15:28 In the name of Allah.
00:15:38 In the name of Allah.
00:15:48 In the name of Ferdinand...
00:15:50 King of Castile,
00:15:53 I charge you with treason.
00:15:55 Within seven days, you will appear
00:15:59 to answer these charges.
00:16:16 You did take
00:16:19 Not to your bride,
00:16:24 God sent you to us, my son.
00:16:28 God has sent you.
00:17:52 Rodrigo!
00:17:59 But I did hear a sound.
00:18:06 He should have been here by now.
00:18:09 He is not late, my lady.
00:18:13 It's barely noon.
00:18:16 Yes.
00:18:23 You don't really understand
00:18:27 Later means sooner;
00:18:35 Still, a man on a horse
00:18:41 no matter how much
00:18:44 Yes, my lady.
00:18:53 All night long I kept thinking:
00:18:55 "Oh, the Moors
00:18:58 "Oh, yes, he's been
00:19:01 Oh, he's fallen ill."
00:19:08 They say all women in love...
00:19:11 are tormented that way.
00:19:14 Because they don't dare believe
00:19:18 can really be theirs.
00:19:25 Help me, please.
00:19:48 The gown is... very beautiful.
00:19:53 Your Highness is... very gracious.
00:19:58 It is not often we are so honored.
00:20:01 No. It is not an ordinary day.
00:20:06 Then you have not heard?
00:20:09 There has been news.
00:20:14 News of-- of Rodrigo, Your Highness?
00:20:18 Of Rodrigo.
00:20:22 Your Highness.
00:20:24 Your Highness.
00:20:26 Can you tell me what
00:20:31 Yes, I can tell you.
00:20:35 - You knew that Rodrigo was on his way here?
00:20:39 That there was a battle?
00:20:42 You knew that there was a battle
00:21:08 Chimene.
00:21:12 My father, tell me.
00:21:16 - Rodrigo's been hurt.
00:21:17 - No, Rodrigo's alive and well.
00:21:21 You love him so much.
00:21:26 Two names.
00:21:29 My father...
00:21:31 and Rodrigo.
00:21:33 Chimene...
00:21:35 you are my only child.
00:21:37 I have no wife.
00:21:40 You alone can carry my blood.
00:21:45 I should have had a son.
00:21:49 But Rodrigo will be your son.
00:21:53 No.
00:21:57 You're young.
00:21:59 You can learn to love again.
00:22:04 Could I learn
00:22:06 It is not the same.
00:22:14 Chimene!
00:22:26 Don Garcia Ordonez,
00:22:38 You have always been a good friend.
00:22:40 I would be more to you, Chimene...
00:22:43 if you would let me.
00:22:45 You know that can never be.
00:22:47 It can now.
00:22:50 - Why now?
00:22:56 Since I love Rodrigo,
00:23:00 It has meaning now.
00:23:04 I do not believe you.
00:23:06 - There were others who were there.
00:23:09 I am the one who brought
00:23:13 He is to be tried for
00:23:17 You would do anything
00:23:20 No. I would do anything to win you.
00:23:24 Chimene!
00:23:27 - They are not true.
00:23:30 They did not know what they saw!
00:23:32 You will see for yourself, Chimene.
00:25:07 His Majesty, Don Ferdinand...
00:25:10 the King, our Lord!
00:25:13 King of Castile, Leon and Asturias.
00:25:32 And the Infantes, Prince Sancho...
00:25:45 Prince Alfonso...
00:25:54 and the Princess Dona Urraca.
00:26:06 You have been gathered here
00:26:09 to give your solemn advice
00:26:13 Garcia Ordonez has invoked
00:26:17 against Rodrigo of Vivar.
00:26:21 He cannot bring such charges against my son!
00:26:48 I repeat the charge! It is treason!
00:26:51 He's the man who's fighting Moors!
00:26:55 It is treason to the King!
00:27:35 You shouldn't have come.
00:27:39 Then I'll go.
00:27:48 No. Another moment.
00:27:52 Oh, forever.
00:27:54 Besides, there is no danger.
00:27:57 No danger?
00:28:02 Listen to them.
00:28:07 It doesn't matter.
00:28:09 Because I know you're not guilty.
00:28:13 - You don't even know what I've done.
00:28:19 But I know it was not treason.
00:28:24 What did you do?
00:28:28 I let a man live.
00:28:33 But how can they call it treason?
00:28:37 Death to the Moors!
00:28:51 Who are these five men?
00:28:54 Emirs.
00:29:00 Moors? You let Moors live? Why?
00:29:04 I'm not sure it was right.
00:29:08 I don't know.
00:29:13 It happened strangely.
00:29:15 I was on my way to you.
00:29:19 I can't even remember where I was.
00:29:22 There must have been roads...
00:29:25 trees and people.
00:29:29 All I remember is your face.
00:29:31 There was a battle.
00:29:34 My heart wasn't in my sword.
00:29:53 Suddenly, I thought,
00:29:57 True, they're Moors,
00:30:04 Chimene...
00:30:07 do you understand
00:30:16 Yes, but... there always
00:30:26 I know.
00:30:29 Always.
00:30:33 You don't think, then...
00:30:36 we could live in peace?
00:30:42 Silence!
00:30:44 Will you keep quiet,
00:30:48 This is not a charge
00:30:52 especially a man who in a short time
00:30:55 But a man who frees
00:30:58 son or no son--
00:31:01 I must call such a man "traitor."
00:31:05 Sire, he slurs
00:31:09 This cannot be.
00:31:12 I, too, was once
00:31:14 That was many years ago, Don Diego.
00:31:18 Perhaps it will be better to
00:31:21 No, Sire. There were things said here
00:31:25 even in this royal assembly.
00:31:30 Count Gormaz of Oviedo...
00:31:33 when you call my son a traitor...
00:31:36 I say you lie.
00:31:42 I am the King's champion.
00:31:44 I would not want to shame my sword
00:31:49 Yet no man can call me a liar.
00:31:54 Liar!
00:32:18 I don't really understand, Rodrigo.
00:32:22 I only know if it grew
00:32:28 it must be right.
00:33:09 What do you want?
00:33:11 You shamed my father.
00:33:14 I want his name back.
00:33:17 But not the way you left it.
00:33:19 I want it clean so he can once more
00:33:25 I cannot apologize.
00:33:27 It is not that I do not want to.
00:33:30 I do not know how to.
00:33:33 People will only
00:33:36 Everyone will understand.
00:33:38 I have told you no.
00:33:41 Go home, Rodrigo.
00:33:46 I ask nothing for myself.
00:33:49 I humble myself before you.
00:33:54 Have pity on a proud old man.
00:33:56 I have no pity for those who have outlived
00:34:03 Count.
00:34:12 I beg you.
00:34:17 See? Two words are all I ask.
00:34:22 Can you not say, "Forgive me"?
00:34:26 I cannot.
00:34:29 I will not.
00:34:32 Now go.
00:34:34 Don't make me stain my life...
00:34:37 and Chimene's with your blood.
00:34:40 Go home, Rodrigo.
00:34:42 No one will think the less of you for not having
00:34:49 Count Gormaz!
00:34:56 I will ask you...
00:35:04 I see that courage and honor
00:35:07 And now I remember why I once thought
00:35:11 Go home, Rodrigo.
00:35:13 What glory is there for the King's champion
00:35:34 Can a man live...
00:35:41 No.
00:37:17 Now, Count, now I am satisfied.
00:38:48 Chimene!
00:38:58 Chimene!
00:39:02 Chimene.
00:39:09 Father!
00:39:14 - Chimene.
00:39:18 Avenge me...
00:39:25 Don't let me die...
00:39:29 unavenged.
00:39:32 Unavenged.
00:39:34 Oh, Father.
00:40:04 I didn't seek your father's life, Chimene.
00:40:10 No, but you knew he could
00:40:15 and you were prepared to kill him.
00:40:21 You bought your honor
00:40:25 There was no other way for me.
00:40:28 The man you chose to love
00:40:31 Why did you come, Rodrigo?
00:40:33 Did you think the woman you chose to love
00:40:41 I tried not to come.
00:40:44 I tried.
00:40:47 I told my love
00:40:52 But my love won't die.
00:40:57 - Kill it!
00:41:00 Tell me you don't love me.
00:41:12 I cannot.
00:41:15 Not yet.
00:41:17 But I will make myself
00:41:22 I will learn to hate you.
00:41:38 Dona Chimene, daughter of
00:41:43 the King's lamented champion.
00:42:07 Dona Chimene,
00:42:09 when we needed
00:42:12 His death is a great loss to us.
00:42:15 And never did I regret
00:42:18 that I am his daughter
00:42:41 I will not stand
00:42:43 Three times I have written you
00:42:47 and have received no answer.
00:42:49 The city of Calahorra belongs to Aragon,
00:42:54 Calahorra has always been
00:42:57 His Majesty, King Ferdinand,
00:43:00 denies these claims.
00:43:04 Ramiro, King of Aragon
00:43:07 does this day challenge Ferdinand,
00:43:12 to meet him in battle
00:43:16 with all the forces he can command.
00:43:18 To the victor in this battle
00:43:21 the city of Calahorra
00:43:24 No!
00:43:28 All Spain is threatened
00:43:31 What could give greater comfort
00:43:34 than to see two Christian kings and their
00:43:38 Why not then let the fate
00:43:41 by the outcome of a single combat...
00:43:44 between your champion and mine?
00:43:46 We know why you have chosen
00:43:49 Our champion is dead.
00:43:52 The gauntlet lies there.
00:43:54 Let one man come forward now,
00:43:58 Lord King!
00:44:01 Let me take up this gauntlet, Sire.
00:44:06 Why should we entrust the fate of a city...
00:44:09 to your inexperienced hands?
00:44:11 It was I who killed
00:44:17 What man has a better claim
00:44:20 Don Martin has killed
00:44:23 You know that?
00:44:25 Yes.
00:44:29 Yes, Sire, I know that.
00:44:31 Why, then, would you risk
00:44:34 I stand accused of treason, Sire.
00:44:38 And of other things.
00:44:44 I've not been permitted to answer
00:44:48 Let me now offer myself
00:44:54 If I'm guilty...
00:44:56 God will direct Don Martin's
00:44:59 If I'm innocent,
00:45:07 - He's never fought before.
00:45:10 A city, a whole city is at stake.
00:45:12 - He defeated our champion.
00:45:16 - There were no witnesses.
00:45:26 Let him fight, Father.
00:45:28 He has much to fight for.
00:45:30 Rodrigo of Vivar,
00:45:41 And may God give you strength.
00:45:46 May God give me strength.
00:46:40 Why have you come to this place
00:46:42 We have come to do battle
00:46:47 Will you fight to the death,
00:46:50 - We will.
00:46:52 Go, then, and fight for Calahorra.
00:47:25 Don Martin.
00:47:29 You have always been
00:47:31 Will you be his avenger?
00:47:35 My lady, who would not be proud
00:47:40 I promise you that he
00:47:46 Until your triumph,
00:47:51 Rodrigo, the champion of Castile
00:47:56 without a lady's colors.
00:47:59 My lady.
00:48:26 Almighty God, now the hour
00:48:31 Judge me and let all men
00:49:04 Do you think Don Martin
00:49:12 I hope he does, Your Highness.
00:49:16 I'm sure you will understand
00:49:20 After all, we would lose a city.
00:50:14 He's held the first charge!
00:51:02 Kill him!
00:53:21 To whom does Calahorra belong?
00:53:25 Calahorra belongs to Ferdinand...
00:53:29 and to Castile.
00:54:10 God saw fit
00:54:13 Never have I seen a man fight
00:54:16 Our Lord was surely with you.
00:54:20 Who can now deny that the charges
00:54:23 We are deeply in your debt, Rodrigo.
00:54:26 You will be my champion.
00:54:38 Your colors are no longer black.
00:54:41 Until my father is avenged...
00:54:44 my colors will be deepest black.
00:55:01 Someone will avenge me.
00:55:05 No. Believe me, Chimene.
00:55:07 Not one knight in all Castile
00:55:12 He has become too dangerous.
00:55:14 Then why have you come to me,
00:55:18 This is not just a momentary anger?
00:55:21 You really want Rodrigo's death?
00:55:24 - You would fight Rodrigo?
00:55:27 I could fight him.
00:55:30 It's not a question of courage.
00:55:41 Before I first saw you,
00:55:45 but... not now, Chimene.
00:55:51 To kill him?
00:55:54 How?
00:55:56 I want your love, Chimene.
00:56:00 More than I want honor,
00:56:05 You understand a love like that.
00:56:07 Yes. Yes, I do.
00:56:13 Then I will kill him.
00:56:27 Oh, Father.
00:56:31 Why did you leave me such a burden?
00:56:37 Rodrigo of Vivar,
00:56:41 and the first Knight of the Realm.
00:56:44 With this sword,
00:57:02 My lieges...
00:57:04 for the first time in generations...
00:57:06 our Moorish vassals have
00:57:09 They have been stirred into
00:57:13 An expedition, therefore,
00:57:17 This expedition will be your first task.
00:57:21 May I prove worthy, Sire.
00:57:23 Our son, Sancho, will go with you.
00:57:25 May I too prove worthy, Father.
00:57:27 Sire, this will be
00:57:33 Could I, too, accompany him?
00:57:35 You have our permission,
00:57:40 Spare our son Sancho
00:57:44 but teach him also that peace, not war,
00:58:41 Lord King, by ancient custom...
00:58:45 when a lord deprives a lady
00:58:48 he is himself required
00:58:52 I killed that lady's father.
00:58:55 Therefore, if, by God's will...
00:58:58 I return alive from this mission...
00:59:02 will you give me Dona Chimene of Gormaz
00:59:06 to provide for and protect as her father
00:59:09 Yes, Rodrigo.
00:59:15 The marriage will
00:59:18 Dona Chimene will hold
00:59:42 In nomine Patrius et Filius
01:00:06 This is the man you hoped
01:00:09 This is the man
01:00:13 Yes, Your Highness?
01:00:15 Would you then still
01:00:19 If it is the King's order,
01:01:41 My Cid, beware!
01:02:08 Stop him!
01:02:33 My Lord Moutamin.
01:02:36 My Lord Cid.
01:02:38 You came in good time this day.
01:02:40 Praise be to Allah.
01:02:42 You were betrayed by one
01:02:46 Betrayed by a Christian,
01:02:51 You've earned
01:02:53 It was no more than
01:02:58 If ever you have need of me.
01:03:00 If ever you
01:03:23 Ordonez.
01:03:29 Before I die, I want you to know
01:03:32 offered herself to me
01:03:47 Kill him!
01:03:49 Kill him!
01:04:03 No. Let him go.
01:04:06 - They will say I was too soft.
01:04:10 You must learn to think like one.
01:04:12 Any man can kill.
01:04:15 Only a king can give life.
01:04:26 I want no more blood on my marriage.
01:04:57 Volo.
01:05:15 Why doesn't she speak?
01:05:38 Volo.
01:06:14 Will my lady take a little wine?
01:06:17 It is a very good wine,
01:06:20 I thank you, Fanez. No.
01:06:27 All night long you've been telling
01:06:30 - because it comes from Vivar.
01:06:44 You will see for yourself, my lady,
01:06:48 It is such...
01:06:52 - Is it, Fanez?
01:06:55 It's impossible
01:06:58 feeling it.
01:07:11 I-- I think
01:07:15 Yes!
01:07:17 Good night, my lord, my lady.
01:07:20 Good night, and may this night
01:07:24 I mean, may you have, uh--
01:07:27 Good night, my lord and lady.
01:07:57 Since I've taken the vows of wife...
01:08:02 and since there must be nothing hidden
01:08:06 there is something
01:08:09 Sometimes it's best to leave
01:08:13 even between man and wife.
01:08:17 They say each unspoken thought...
01:08:20 becomes a small ghost.
01:08:22 We have room for a few small ghosts.
01:08:29 I knew Ordonez would betray you.
01:08:37 We planned your death...
01:08:40 together.
01:12:24 Chimene, I knew
01:12:29 Ordonez told me.
01:12:35 I never hoped...
01:12:37 our marriage would bring
01:12:43 I did hope it would end your hate...
01:12:46 and that...
01:12:48 then somehow--
01:12:52 Chimene.
01:13:09 Do you know why
01:13:13 It was the only way left
01:13:19 It is true that if you want me...
01:13:22 it is your right
01:13:25 But you will never get
01:13:39 Perhaps we have...
01:13:42 wounded each other too deeply.
01:15:14 Chimene.
01:15:16 Is it our Chimene?
01:15:20 Yes, Reverend Mother.
01:15:22 It's Chimene.
01:15:25 Why have you come back to us?
01:15:30 I've come to find peace, Mother.
01:15:34 After all that has happened to you...
01:15:37 the peace you seek
01:15:40 You were made
01:15:43 One day you will want
01:15:46 But you may remain with us...
01:15:49 until you feel you must leave.
01:16:59 Why do they not hail me king?
01:17:02 Because you are not the king.
01:17:05 The kingdom has been divided.
01:17:07 - Liar.
01:17:10 - but Asturias and Leon go to me!
01:17:13 - And to our sister Urraca
01:17:17 'Tis my birthright.
01:17:24 You can't stop it now.
01:17:28 - I won't let you stand in my way.
01:17:32 I'll have the Triple Crown
01:17:39 Then let it be none at all.
01:17:53 It was you and Urraca against me.
01:17:58 Father was old.
01:18:02 You're no better than we are,
01:18:12 You and our sister.
01:18:15 It was always you and our sister.
01:18:18 You... held her too close!
01:18:22 You covet her!
01:18:24 You lie!
01:19:03 Sancho, no!
01:19:17 He thought he could be king.
01:19:26 Accompany His Highness
01:19:29 the dungeon of Zamora.
01:21:03 Will you give me your prisoner,
01:21:07 There are 13 of us
01:21:11 What you do is against God's law.
01:21:13 Were you 13 times 13
01:22:46 What kind of a man are you?
01:22:48 Come.
01:22:52 We'll go to your sister at Calahorra.
01:24:07 Open the gates of Valencia...
01:24:09 in the name of Allah!
01:24:13 And the time came
01:24:17 to secure the aid of the frightened
01:24:21 He had to make certain that
01:24:24 on the shores of Spain.
01:25:22 Clear out, all of you!
01:25:29 My lord Ben Yusuf, what an honor.
01:25:32 What an honor.
01:25:35 Allah be praised.
01:25:39 King Ferdinand has died...
01:25:41 and the two young kings
01:25:43 Allah, in his wisdom,
01:25:46 And now Allah will ordain it
01:25:48 will kill another Christian brother.
01:25:50 How will this happen?
01:25:55 He... will do the killing.
01:25:58 The word will spread that
01:26:01 There will be confusion, revolution.
01:26:03 The kingdom will be torn in two...
01:26:05 and then, when they are most weak,
01:26:09 A master strategy.
01:26:11 When I land, they may attack you
01:26:15 If they do, you will hold Valencia.
01:26:19 Yes, my lord, I understand.
01:26:25 I will leave my guards with you
01:27:13 Don't let him take me, Urraca.
01:27:18 Go.
01:27:20 Go.
01:27:22 Urraca!
01:27:26 Urraca!
01:27:30 Urraca!
01:27:34 Urraca!
01:27:36 You have given refuge to my brother!
01:27:39 I demand you release him at once!
01:27:41 This is my city!
01:27:45 Release the prisoner at once
01:27:48 Alfonso stays here...
01:27:51 I give you until dawn to decide.
01:27:56 My lady.
01:28:00 What would it be worth to you...
01:28:03 if Sancho were kept from your gates?
01:28:08 Who is there
01:28:11 I could.
01:28:14 Only-- Only I would ask a great deal.
01:28:33 Thank heaven you answered our call.
01:28:36 Why did you send it, sir?
01:28:38 Unless I surrender to Sancho...
01:28:40 - he threatens to lay siege to us by morning.
01:28:43 Help us, Rodrigo.
01:28:47 When brother
01:28:49 what can any man do?
01:28:51 If you joined us,
01:28:56 I swore allegiance to Sancho.
01:29:00 And to Alfonso.
01:29:03 I can only help one brother
01:29:09 - I can help no one.
01:29:14 Whatever happens...
01:29:16 must happen without me.
01:30:14 Sanctuary!
01:30:21 Sanctuary!
01:30:25 Sanctuary!
01:30:41 What do you want here, Dolfos?
01:30:45 I have words
01:31:08 Well?
01:31:10 There is a way Calahorra
01:31:14 I will help you.
01:31:17 Why should you do this for me?
01:31:19 I will not stand by and see our land
01:31:30 Tell me.
01:31:33 I know where
01:31:37 I will take you there.
01:31:41 Even though my father
01:31:47 one false move...
01:31:50 But I am unarmed, Sire.
01:31:57 Show me this gate.
01:32:32 From here it will be better
01:32:45 I see no gate.
01:32:48 There.
01:33:28 Open!
01:33:30 Open the gate!
01:33:47 Confess me.
01:33:50 Confess me.
01:33:53 Sancho.
01:33:58 - Rodrigo.
01:34:03 I was almost a king.
01:34:06 Wasn't I?
01:34:09 You are a king, my lord.
01:34:59 I have not come here as a queen.
01:35:06 Forgive me, Your Highness.
01:35:16 You still love Rodrigo.
01:35:20 And I know Rodrigo still loves you.
01:35:23 You have made a long
01:35:27 Rodrigo must be stopped!
01:35:33 We will not permit this,
01:35:38 Rodrigo will listen to you.
01:35:42 What is it I must tell Rodrigo,
01:35:47 He has threatened to force
01:35:50 that he is innocent of
01:35:53 Is he not innocent
01:35:56 You must tell him not to do this.
01:35:59 He must not. We will not permit it!
01:36:08 You... had better speak to him.
01:36:11 Do you understand me, Chimene?
01:36:15 I understand, Your Highness.
01:36:22 No one can ask a king to swear.
01:38:12 Before God and this assembly...
01:38:17 I do freely forgive those
01:38:22 I promise to defend them
01:38:26 even as I defend and show favor
01:38:31 This, my written oath...
01:38:34 I entrust to this Holy Church.
01:38:41 Castilians...
01:38:44 God has called upon me
01:38:48 I now call upon you
01:39:18 Rodrigo of Vivar...
01:39:20 called the Cid...
01:39:22 why do you alone refuse me fealty?
01:39:28 Sire...
01:39:30 all those you see here...
01:39:32 though none dares say so...
01:39:35 harbor the suspicion that you may have
01:39:39 Unless you can prove
01:39:42 you will have no loyal subjects.
01:39:44 Your kingdom will be torn by doubt.
01:39:48 Thus I cannot give you fealty...
01:39:51 nor own you as my liege.
01:39:55 What will satisfy you
01:39:57 Your oath upon the holy book.
01:40:03 You would ask me to swear?
01:40:07 Sire, I do ask it.
01:40:16 Very well.
01:40:28 Will you swear
01:40:31 in the ordering
01:40:40 I so swear.
01:40:42 Do you swear that you had no part
01:40:47 in King Sancho's death?
01:40:49 I so swear.
01:40:51 Do you swear that you had no part
01:40:54 in King Sancho's death?
01:40:58 I swear it!
01:41:00 If you are forsworn...
01:41:02 may you die such a death
01:41:06 struck from behind
01:41:09 Say amen.
01:41:13 You press me too far, Rodrigo.
01:41:17 Say amen.
01:41:31 Amen.
01:42:20 "By edict of our most illustrious
01:42:23 "King of Castile,
01:42:26 "be it known
01:42:30 "has outraged the Royal Personage
01:42:34 "He has been accorded
01:42:38 "in which to depart from the realm,
01:42:43 "All his property, his goods,
01:42:47 "are hereby forfeit to the Crown.
01:42:51 "All vessels of the King...
01:42:53 "are forbidden to provide him with food,
01:42:58 "or to speak with him.
01:43:00 Let no man give him aid."
01:44:01 I thirst.
01:44:04 I thirst.
01:44:07 I thirst.
01:44:16 There is no spring nearby
01:44:21 I'm thirsty.
01:44:38 Here.
01:44:40 It's for you.
01:44:44 For you.
01:44:46 - Thank you, my Cid.
01:44:50 There is only one man in Spain
01:44:54 and would give a leper
01:44:57 Who are you?
01:45:00 I am called Lazarus.
01:45:03 May helping hands
01:45:06 everywhere you go, my Cid.
01:45:42 Can you forgive me, Rodrigo?
01:45:48 Chimene.
01:45:54 Would you take me with you?
01:45:58 But... now I...
01:46:01 have nowhere to take you.
01:46:03 If we are together...
01:46:05 it will not be nowhere.
01:46:14 I love you, Rodrigo.
01:46:18 I love you.
01:46:46 You know what you risk...
01:46:49 if you come with me, my love?
01:46:53 Since my love is not a man
01:46:57 my life will not be
01:47:06 It's only now...
01:47:09 only now that I know...
01:47:12 how hard the road
01:48:03 Are you the one they call the Cid?
01:48:07 Yes.
01:48:09 Then you must be
01:48:12 Do you not hate him anymore?
01:48:16 No, I do not.
01:48:18 My father says they'll cut our hands off
01:48:23 My father says
01:48:33 But my father said if you walk very slowly
01:48:38 and no one will be able to see you
01:49:54 I suppose we must leave soon...
01:49:57 before it gets too light.
01:49:59 No, one more moment...
01:50:02 to remember all of this.
01:50:05 Have you ever slept in
01:50:10 Never.
01:50:12 - Have you ever eaten better food?
01:50:16 Nor drunk better wine, nor...
01:50:22 I love you.
01:50:25 Dona Chimene, my wife.
01:50:29 I'm so glad, Rodrigo.
01:50:32 So glad.
01:50:39 Must we go?
01:50:53 Of what are you glad?
01:50:55 That you are no longer
01:50:58 that you no longer have
01:51:03 and that you have only me.
01:51:07 We will find some hidden place
01:51:11 Yes, a place like this.
01:51:14 And we will make our lives there.
01:51:17 If all men knew that banishment
01:51:20 we'd have a world of exiles.
01:51:29 Come.
01:51:31 We'll look for your hidden place...
01:51:34 before the others find it.
01:51:46 We'll have a new life now.
01:51:57 Lord God...
01:52:00 protect this woman I love...
01:52:03 and who is now, finally, my wife.
01:52:15 El Cid!
01:52:39 I am in exile!
01:52:41 Without you, we are all in exile.
01:52:44 I can't take you with me!
01:52:46 You'd lose your homes,
01:52:50 Every man here has
01:52:54 We want you to lead us!
01:52:56 You have no right to ask him!
01:52:58 He has done enough!
01:53:00 - El Cid!
01:53:24 But why him?
01:53:26 Why?
01:53:28 For Spain!
01:53:33 Spain!
01:54:03 Urraca!
01:54:13 I haven't slept all night.
01:54:18 Every time I close my eyes to sleep...
01:54:21 I dream the same dream
01:54:30 I'm fighting an enemy
01:54:34 I cut him down
01:54:37 But when I look down...
01:54:40 it isn't my enemy lying at my feet.
01:54:43 It's...
01:54:49 It's my own right arm.
01:54:56 It was only a dream.
01:54:59 It was nothing.
01:55:00 It was nothing.
01:55:54 - Our dream was short.
01:55:57 There is no hidden place
01:56:06 There must be thousands
01:56:12 Why you?
01:56:15 Why me?
01:56:17 Please, let me carry away
01:56:23 It would be a lie.
01:56:27 I will beseech God with my prayers.
01:56:31 I will tell Him He must
01:56:37 I must tell God how much I need you.
01:56:42 Then we will see each other again.
02:02:17 Don Rodrigo.
02:02:26 We have not forgotten or forgiven
02:02:30 But when danger threatens,
02:02:33 to put the welfare of his subjects
02:02:36 That is why we summoned you here.
02:02:40 Sire, I have all these years lived...
02:02:43 in the hope Your Majesty
02:02:46 Especially now, since Ben Yusuf
02:02:53 Ben Yusuf has challenged us to meet him
02:03:00 Sire, you must not fight at Sagrajas.
02:03:03 - Valencia must first be--
02:03:06 My liege, you must first
02:03:13 While the Moors hold Valencia...
02:03:16 Ben Yusuf can strike out from there,
02:03:22 Your Majesty must not
02:03:27 Look, I have brought friends
02:03:50 How dare they not kneel to us?
02:03:53 Sire.
02:03:56 These are kings.
02:03:58 They come here as allies.
02:04:01 - We need no such allies.
02:04:04 We treat only with Christians.
02:04:06 They're ready to fight
02:04:09 They fear Ben Yusuf as we do.
02:04:12 We do not consider them friends.
02:04:17 Sire!
02:04:20 You risk having no Spain at all!
02:04:24 Don Rodrigo,
02:04:28 and we shall annul your banishment
02:04:32 But if you are not at Sagrajas...
02:04:35 we shall consider
02:04:57 Don Rodrigo.
02:05:13 Your twin daughters
02:07:04 This is your father.
02:07:13 You're Elvira?
02:07:17 Then you must be Sol.
02:07:19 You're Elvira.
02:07:24 You're exactly alike.
02:07:39 I'm tired.
02:07:43 Tired of exile.
02:07:48 Now I can take you home to Vivar...
02:07:52 with honors.
02:07:58 I might be wrong to defy the King.
02:08:03 He commanded me
02:08:07 I could be wrong.
02:08:09 If you did not have us, Rodrigo...
02:08:11 would you even wonder?
02:08:17 I used to see so many
02:08:21 where I could've lived with you.
02:08:24 And no one would have known.
02:08:27 Have you also found a place...
02:08:29 where we could hide from ourselves?
02:08:35 I can't leave you...
02:08:37 leave them here unprotected.
02:08:45 But if you do what must be done
02:08:49 that will be our best protection.
02:10:15 Our Moorish silks suit well
02:10:28 You'll make a Moslem of me yet, my lord.
02:10:37 How can anyone say this is wrong?
02:10:40 They will say so, on both sides.
02:10:51 We have so much to give to
02:10:56 If we are not destroyed first.
02:11:00 Once we take Valencia,
02:12:02 Valencia is surrounded.
02:12:05 No one here can leave
02:12:10 Then our weapon is starvation.
02:12:13 May Allah make
02:12:18 May God help our King Alfonso
02:13:01 We could have beaten Ben Yusuf!.
02:13:04 With a few more men
02:13:17 A handful of knights
02:13:23 Dona Chimene, did you think we would permit
02:13:28 Would you punish the man
02:13:36 What if we were to place Dona Chimene
02:13:40 Might not the Cid then deliver himself
02:13:44 Sire, this is a sanctuary.
02:13:47 There are no sanctuaries
02:13:50 If you crush him, who then would stand
02:13:54 It was his fault! If he had come,
02:13:59 Sire?
02:14:04 It was not for lack
02:14:08 You shall see.
02:14:25 You saw!
02:14:31 It was not through lack
02:14:39 It takes more than courage
02:15:11 Tell me his exact words!
02:15:13 The King said he would not release
02:15:21 What does the King expect I'd do?
02:15:23 That I would let my wife and children
02:15:27 No! He hopes you will march
02:15:33 Burgos! Well, then,
02:15:41 What do we wait here for?
02:15:50 My Lord Cid, wait!
02:15:53 My lord, the city is ready to fall.
02:15:56 More and more people
02:15:59 After all these months,
02:16:02 Don't speak to me of Valencia,
02:16:06 Not now!
02:16:09 Am I not a man, too, like you?
02:16:13 May I not sometimes
02:16:17 Well, then, what must I do?
02:16:22 What must I do?
02:16:36 Everything was taken from you.
02:16:39 How did you bribe the jailer
02:16:44 With two words: the Cid.
02:16:51 Even all these months
02:16:54 have not marred your beauty.
02:17:00 There are terrible rumors.
02:17:03 They are not rumors.
02:17:06 The Cid has sent
02:17:09 Unless you and the children
02:17:13 your husband will march
02:17:18 Abandon Valencia?
02:17:23 Yes, Chimene, for you.
02:17:32 Help me and the children to escape.
02:17:36 Join Rodrigo.
02:17:50 If I thought it would stop him
02:17:54 I would kill myself...
02:17:58 and the children.
02:18:04 Then your love
02:18:59 Rodrigo, let me fight at your side.
02:19:12 We have need of such men.
02:19:54 Count Ordonez,
02:23:08 Soldiers!
02:23:12 Citizens of Valencia!
02:23:16 We have starved you!
02:23:19 Now you are weak!
02:23:22 But we do not wish to attack you!
02:23:25 We are not your enemies!
02:23:29 Ben Yusuf is your enemy.
02:23:32 He will bring you
02:23:37 People of Valencia...
02:23:40 rid yourselves of your leaders!
02:23:43 join with us!
02:23:46 We bring you peace!
02:23:48 Soldiers and citizens!
02:23:52 We bring you freedom!
02:23:57 We bring you... bread!
02:24:00 We bring you bread! Bread!
02:24:03 Bread! Bread!
02:24:06 Bread! Bread!
02:24:29 My lord!
02:24:33 Your starving soldiers have deserted
02:24:37 Kill them!
02:25:19 Stop them!
02:27:51 King! King! King!
02:27:56 King! King! King!
02:28:04 King! King! King!
02:28:35 King! King! King!
02:28:50 King! King! King!
02:28:50 King! King! King!
02:28:56 The city is yours! Take the crown.
02:29:02 All our battles
02:29:04 We want you to rule us.
02:29:12 My Lord Cid!
02:29:21 We have given up everything for you.
02:29:24 We implore you to take the crown.
02:29:40 I take Valencia...
02:29:43 in the name of
02:29:48 King of Castile,
02:29:51 of Sagunto and Almenara...
02:29:54 of Castrejon and Alcantara...
02:29:57 King of Christians and Moors.
02:30:00 Valencia for Alfonso...
02:30:02 by the grace of God, King of Spain!
02:30:06 King! King! King!
02:30:11 What a noble subject.
02:30:15 If he had only a noble king.
02:30:18 King! King! King!
02:30:38 The crown of Valencia!
02:30:54 The crown of Valencia?
02:30:57 The Cid sends this to me?
02:31:07 What are his conditions?
02:31:09 There are no conditions.
02:31:13 But Chimene-- He knew about
02:31:18 He knew.
02:31:24 And yet he sends me the crown.
02:31:30 What kind of man is this?
02:31:33 He wants something.
02:31:37 My lord, the Cid
02:31:41 But I ask! My lord,
02:31:45 to defend Valencia against Ben Yusuf.
02:31:47 No!
02:31:53 Tell your lord, the Cid, that we seek
02:31:58 Nor can he expect anything from us.
02:32:02 Now go.
02:32:05 Who has done more for you and Spain?
02:32:08 Go!
02:32:24 Look. Now you are also
02:32:29 I am king of nothing.
02:32:33 - I will make myself a king!
02:32:38 - I will!
02:32:49 All men must die.
02:32:54 What cause of yours could
02:33:00 The Cid.
02:33:03 The Cid? He is a man like other men.
02:33:06 He will die.
02:33:08 He'll never die. Never.
02:33:12 You dare think of him
02:33:16 We do!
02:33:19 Then this will be more
02:33:24 It will be our God...
02:34:51 Where's Ordonez?
02:34:53 I sent him to see if
02:34:55 - Hasn't he returned?
02:36:59 Ben Yusuf's armada.
02:37:02 We should attack at dawn
02:37:04 We'll drive a wedge along the shore...
02:37:08 and keep his forces split.
02:37:10 Come.
02:38:18 I know, I know.
02:38:20 This is always the hardest time.
02:38:25 You have been through
02:38:29 I need to know.
02:38:35 I wish I knew.
02:38:38 Each warrior each time
02:38:42 Come.
02:38:44 This is the battle
02:38:47 The last battle.
02:38:49 When we've won it, we'll have peace.
02:39:32 Open the gates.
02:39:36 For God, Alfonso and for Spain!
02:39:39 For God, Alfonso and Spain!
02:44:35 The Cid is wounded.
02:44:38 The Cid is wounded.
02:44:43 The Cid is wounded.
02:44:46 The Cid is wounded.
02:44:55 The Cid--
02:45:36 No, Fanez.
02:45:41 You will need time
02:45:43 Must be tomorrow.
02:45:48 while we grow weaker.
02:45:50 - But, my lord!
02:45:53 Make the preparations.
02:45:56 Go. Cover their retreat. Go!
02:46:09 Close the gates!
02:47:14 There will be a great loss of blood...
02:47:17 but the arrow
02:47:20 Will he live?
02:47:22 If the arrow is drawn,
02:47:25 If not, he will be dead
02:47:45 Chimene.
02:47:50 I must lead the attack tomorrow.
02:47:55 If the arrow is not withdrawn...
02:47:58 it is certain you will die.
02:48:02 Not before tomorrow.
02:48:05 - That's all I need.
02:48:10 What will there be for you
02:48:14 Someone else will lead them.
02:48:20 They have made me their heart.
02:48:28 But their heart is wounded.
02:48:31 It needs to rest.
02:48:34 We could take you to Vivar.
02:48:37 We could cure you.
02:48:39 My love would not let you die.
02:48:43 We have not spent
02:48:48 Yet it seems to me--
02:48:51 I will not let you.
02:48:59 Yet it seems to me that those who have
02:49:04 have not had more than we.
02:49:07 I want more!
02:49:12 Oh, the children.
02:49:16 The children.
02:49:20 Chimene...
02:49:23 you can't save my life.
02:49:35 You must help me give it up.
02:49:43 Now.
02:49:56 Lord Moutamin.
02:50:02 It is the wish of my husband...
02:50:05 that the arrow shall not be removed.
02:50:39 Allah be praised!
02:50:44 Let it be known everywhere
02:50:48 The Cid is dead!
02:50:52 The Cid is dead! The Cid is dead!
02:50:56 The Cid is dead! The Cid is dead!
02:51:02 The Cid is dead!
02:51:06 The Cid is dead!
02:51:09 The Cid is dead!
02:51:15 They dare not come out and fight!
02:51:18 Let it be known everywhere
02:51:40 I tell you!
02:51:45 He is well!
02:51:49 He will fight tomorrow!
02:51:52 He will be with us,
02:51:55 I promise! You must--
02:52:00 The Cid is alive!
02:52:13 - Fanez?
02:52:22 What are they saying?
02:52:24 All is well, my lord.
02:52:28 The people are hopeful.
02:52:33 You always were a bad liar, Fanez.
02:52:37 Now tell me the truth.
02:52:46 I could not convince them...
02:53:48 El Cid! El Cid!
02:53:55 Cid! Cid!
02:53:59 Cid! Cid!
02:54:05 Soldiers!
02:54:08 People of Valencia!
02:54:11 You must not be frightened...
02:54:14 by the sound of a few drums.
02:54:18 In a few hours,
02:54:26 I promise you!
02:54:29 Tomorrow morning...
02:54:32 I will ride with you!
02:54:35 Cid! Cid!
02:54:39 Cid! Cid!
02:54:42 Cid! Cid! Cid!
02:54:56 Cid! Cid! Cid!
02:55:08 - Chimene.
02:55:13 Listen to me.
02:55:17 Even if my strength fails me...
02:55:20 - I must lead the attack tomorrow.
02:55:23 I must!
02:55:26 You understand?
02:55:29 I must.
02:55:31 Alive or dead...
02:55:33 I must be on my horse
02:55:40 You promise...
02:55:42 you will do whatever
02:55:45 Yes.
02:55:47 - Promise me.
02:55:52 I promise.
02:55:57 Yes.
02:56:01 I promise.
02:56:16 Open the gates!
02:56:43 My lord, the King!
02:57:05 Forgive me, my Cid.
02:57:15 - Forgive me!
02:57:18 My King kneels to no man!
02:57:22 To no man!
02:57:35 It's not easy for a man
02:57:41 You have done that.
02:57:45 If only I could live
02:57:49 You will.
02:57:51 No one can stand against us now.
02:57:53 We'll drive Ben Yusuf
02:57:56 I have not failed.
02:58:00 Spain... has a king.
02:58:12 Tomorrow we will fight side by side.
02:58:17 My King and I.
02:58:20 We will ride out together.
02:58:24 Together.
02:58:26 No!
02:58:30 I will be at your side.
02:58:37 Chimene!
02:58:41 Ah, Chimene.
02:58:47 Chimene.
02:58:49 I promise.
02:58:56 I want you and my children...
02:59:01 to remember me riding with my King.
02:59:17 Tomorrow.
03:02:29 For God, the Cid and Spain!
03:02:33 For God, the Cid and Spain!
03:02:38 For God, the Cid and Spain!
03:02:43 And thus the Cid rode
03:03:36 Back! Back!
03:03:41 Go back!
03:04:48 Heavenly Father, open Your arms
03:04:53 of one who lived and died
