All language subtitles for FATIH AL-ANDALUS -EP 03 _ مسلسل فتح الآندلس الحلقة 3-en

Here is Ceuta.

As if it is preparing to receive the Openers.

The last city in North Africa.

Will it open its arms welcoming us?

It will refrain, but not for long.

Then why don’t we surprise them with the attack?

We will attack, Tarif, but at the time that suits us.

The resistance of its walls and doors will not hold us back.

We have a long time to test the resistance of its walls.

I will send to Prince Musa to tell him what we have accomplished

and hear his opinion.

Where are the keys to the gates, Leo?

It is with the captains of the guard, as usual.

I want it to be with me now.

Yes, sir.

Why have they not moved ahead yet?

Sir, they have begun to pitch their tents and set up their camp.

This is what I was afraid of,

the siege.

Where are the men of Wittiza?

Why are they late?

Today.

In a very discreet way,

they set out in a convoy carrying two ships' loads of supplies and equipment.

Tell Count Julian that it was from his friend Count Rodericus.

Done, sir.

And Duke Sheshbert will secure the ways for you from thieves.

Everything is prepared as you have ordered, sir.

Had it not been for the intervention of my master, Count Rodericus,

I would have returned empty-handed.

We must not abandon our faithful friends, Father Georgios.

God bless you sir Count.

God bless you.

Thank you, sir.

Good evening, my lord.

Hello, Pedro.

You seem to be better than you were yesterday.

We thank the Lord for that.

It is done.

When the time comes

and the arrow shoots from the arc of fate,

there is no objection to prevent it.

I have spent my life in endless wars.

I fought all the princes, the clergy, the knights, and their cohorts from those who benefit from them.

I fought them all to achieve one thing and what I gained,

Justice.

Just justice.

Duke Pedro, if you want to be fair, they will fight you.

And if you want to do justice to the weak from the strong, they will fight you.

They all fought me.

They fought me while I am the king.

The near before the far.

Even those you are fair to them fight you.

And now you see.

Even the Jews whom I worked to do justice to

and to recover what had been stolen from them.

To this day, they are still plotting and scheming.

You are right, my lord,

that is their way.

They are never to be trusted.

While I am on the threshold of death,

worried about the justice that I worked hard to plant.

It seems that their siege is tight.

But the city is impregnable.

It will not stand before a long siege.

Sir, do you think we should hold on a little?

Time is not on our side.

Besieged cities usually lose the war.

Their supplies are just a stone's throw from them.

And we only get our supplies from the Goths.

It seems that Wittiza and the Romans have forgotten us.

Yes.

This city will remain calm,

I will keep the specter of war away from it.

But the war has already caught fire, sir.

With wisdom, Leo.

With wisdom we extinguish it.

I am at your command, my lord.

You order and I shall obey.

That is what I always think of you,

That is what I think of you.

I want to entrust you with what no one else is worthy of.

I want you to be the guardian of the will.

You hide it in a place that no one else can reach.

Do not show it to them unless the matter has passed and the time has come.

All I ask is that the throne be transferred only to those who deserve it.

Toledo is now surrounded by stalkers from all sides.

It have become in dire need of a skilled captain

to take it through the sea and reach the safety shore.

I have decided that the kingship will go to the Council of Toledo,

they will take over the kingship and see who is worthy of it,

so they will raise him to the throne.

If this is done,

the appointed king does not have the right to dismiss or dissolve the council,

but rather consults with them on every matter.

In every major matter,

he consults with them,

and does not make a covenant,

not even a war without referring to them.

Thus, the opinion is straightened with advice, so there is no slip or deviation.

But, my lord, what about your son, Count Sisebutus?

Sisebutus, I wish he was the knight who succeeds his father and finishes his plans,

but you know better than me.

He is not the best to sit on the throne.

I will put him in the council,

I think he will be satisfied with that and will not want more than that.

It all goes back to you my lord,

Order me and I shall obey.

Here is this letter, Duke Pedro, guard it.

The future of the Goths is in your hands.

Lord, I have missed you, so I came to check on you.

You go now, Duke Pedro.

Come sit down, Count Rodericus, sit down.

I know you are waiting for the moment to seize the kingship.

I know who your helpers are.

But the interest of the homeland is a hundred times more important to me than to stir up internal strife.

I hope you know this.

Ceuta is highly fortified.

It will be difficult for us to penetrate.

It looks like they are well prepared to meet us.

If we wish, we will make it a war,

but we will lose a lot of blood.

And what harm does that cause if it was for the sake of Allah?

And what if we can save dear blood and reach our goal for the sake of Allah?

May Allah bless you Tariq,

by Allah, this is the matter of a clever leader.

This is our messenger who has returned from Kairouan

May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.

Peace be on you.

This is a message from the prince of Kairouan.

At your service, O price.

What does the prince say?

May it be well, O Abu Amr.

We will maintain our siege, no matter how long it takes.

We will, Insha Allah.

I think that the king Wittiza gave his will to his son Sisebutus after him.

Then, both we and Toledo are lost.

No, on the contrary,

it may be to our advantage.

You are the one who deserves to be king,

and not this wretch Sisebutus,

and his father's commandment will not do him any good,

and the Lord and the Church will be with you.

There is another letter that King Wittiza wrote,

which I have not yet been able to read.

But the king may die at any moment.

So we have to act.

When you are one step ahead, everyone follows you.

Come on.

I am afraid that their arrogance will intensify

and they will not accept our request.

What I heard about the wisdom of Tariq bin Ziyad assures me that he will outweigh the mind over the power of arms.

I wanted them to attack us.

We will soon find out their goal.

It is only a few days and you will regain your health, my lord.

Health does not last, Redericus.

Our lives are over,

our time ends,

and only the memory of our actions remains.

The memory of your good deeds sends a shill down you enemies’ spine.

That is how to goes Rodericus,

Do good and you shall find good.

If all kings were like king Wittiza,

there would not be a single war left on this earth.

But, my lord, sometimes we have to be tough and harsh.

What do you mean Rodericus?

Some of the northern tribes were greedy after they heard of the recent setback that happened to the king,

but they forgot that the king had an oppressing hand named, Rodericus.

I do not think they would dare to do that

except with the help of the Franks

or from the nobles who were discontented with me here in this court.

That is exactly what our eyes there reported to us.

If they are like that,

then there is no need to fear them,

even if they provide them with the all the money in the world.

Whoever is bought with money will be sold cheaper than his price.

There will be a lot of share between them.

We also learned that they formed an alliance against us.

How shocking it is that these tribes only fight for money,

if they are given money to fight,

they fight.

And if they were given money to reconcile, they would reconcile.

And if they were given money to run,

they do so.

Do they not have brains?

If the king orders, we go out to them.

Do it, Roderics.

Prepare an army, but do not overburden it with wars.

Lord, what do you think of our prince Sisebutus going out to them?

With an army of our best fighters,

he subdues them and quells their strife,

then returns crowned with laurel,

and it is said that prince Sisebutus, son of King Wittiza, has put an end to all strife and few,

and brought the north back united under the banner and rule of his father.

Me?

I do not see me fit to do so.

Is the prince of Toledo unable to lead an army that disciplines a group of rebels?

I did not mean that.

I mean I am not fit to do such a ludicrous deed.

Ludicrous?

Leading an army is ludicrous?

Take it easy, O Rodericus, hold on.

Sisebutus is one of the few knights in Toledo,

but he was not trained to lead armies in attacking and retreating.

Now you have the opportunity to prove your worth.

Rodericus will prepare a strong army for you to be at the head of his command to discipline those rogues.

I will give you back my response.

Move with Allah’s blessing.

May God guard you, O prince.

He sent to us offering truce and reconciliation.

Reconciliation!

Now?

“But if they incline towards peace, then incline towards it, and put your trust in Allah.”

But how can we invite people to the word of monotheism when we are outside Ceuta?

It will not stop us from doing that, Shaddad.

I do not think so,

and he has set himself up to besiege us and prepares for the siege.

And how do we know if the man is honest or cunning?

We will never know for sure.

But we have to expect anything and everything.

“And if they intend to deceive you,

then verily, Allah is All-Sufficient for you.

He it is Who has supported you with His Help and with the believers.”

What if he betrays and deceives?

We will be on the lookout for him.

“If thou fearest treachery from any group,

throw back (their covenant) to them,

(so as to be) on equal terms:

for Allah loveth not the treacherous.”

And blessed be the Almighty.

Tarif... I will go to Kairouan to consult the Prince.

You remain behind me with the army,

and do not move anywhere.

Done, Insh Allah.

Eternal God.

O You who arranged the service of humans and angels in a wondrous arrangement.

As your holy angels in heaven always serve you.

Bless, mercifully, to lift the siege on the city of Ceuta.

What do you see in the man?

I mean, what made him do that while he is still in peace

and the supplies are still coming to him from the sea?

Julian does not want war.

Since we started our siege, no company has been released to us.

No arrow has been shot at us.

So he asked for peace and reconciliation.

It is as you read in his letter, O Commander of the Faithful.

He offers us an open and unconditional peace to end the siege,

not a temporary truce.

It may be as he requested.

But we did not test the man and did not know him.

Therefore, caution is required.

What if the man was stalling to attack us by surprise?

Or to gain time until the supplies come to him from the sea.

That is, if Julian had taken the initiative to start the fight,

so that he would know our strength,

or if he had provoked us into a fight and we would not have fought.

I might have seen it as a trick but he did not.

This makes it more likely for me to take precaution and vigilance,

as war is a deception

How are the people of Ceuta?

People in Ceuta are exhausted by the siege and starvation.

And he wants a truce, if he is true to their sake,

and if you see that we relieve them or prevent him, we will do so.

by Allah, if they had fought me for a long time then called me to protect women and children,

I would have lifted the siege on them.

I see that we keep some brigades around Ceuta.

And tighten your watch in the city.

If we sense treachery from them,

we hasten to fight them before they make haste.

This means that we incline towards peace.

“But if they incline towards peace, then incline towards it, and put your trust in Allah.”

That is it.

It is up to you, Prince

Then, I will return immediately to send a message to Prince Julian.

Have a safe trip.

Let’s go.

With Allah’s safety, Tariq.

From Tariq Ibn Ziyad to Count Julian, Governor of Ceuta

I greet you with the greeting of Islam.

We have accepted what you offered of a truce,

as we are not seekers of land or sovereignty.

Upon these terms:

The merchants of Ceuta may come to Tangiers with their trade guarded by safety,

they have the covenant of Allah and the protection of its emir,

and the people are secure in their religion.

For the Christians of Tangiers have the covenant of Allah and His Messenger and the protection of the Muslims.

They will not be harmed in their religion,

their churches,

and their livelihood.

The Muslim people of Ceuta and whoever enters their religion shall have the same rights.

Give us some time and we will get back to you.

What do you people see?

Do we trust this not to be a scam?

I think we should accept their offer yet remain cautious.

The opinion, sir, is to go along with the man, even for a while.

Until we receive the aid of Toledo.

So let's write that to their leader.

Pull the shooters to the back.

Keep the army on guard.

Preparing for war prevents war.

Peace be upon you.

And be upon you.

What is the matter with them?

These men have been suspected for a while for their suspicious behavior

and their words that seek to stir up sedition.

We also found them carrying these messages.

This is not Arabic.

Yes, it is Romanian.

And those in front of you are the eyes of the Romans.

We have been ruling this country according to the Goths and the Romans and their religion for a long time.

Until those people came to us from the desert with a new religion.

No looting, no raiding, no burning of cities, and no intimidation of women and children.

Do you think their religion is telling them what to do?

Or is it their leader?

I think they are doing that so that people would enter their religion.

Maybe, Leo.

Maybe.

Sir, I see that you are overtaken by concern.

They fight and never retreat.

When they enter a city, they keep away from churches and monasteries.

And they have never forced anyone to convert to their religion.

Then why rage war?

Maybe they want people to convert to their religion voluntarily.

Unlike the doctrine of the Romans

in making people convert to their religion by force.

True.

Sir.

They are not like us.

Do you think their withdrawal is real?

We shall know that later.

We have to spread an atmosphere of safety in the city.

We make people feel that there is no war looming.

This requires great effort.

It rather requires great skill.

It seems that you are hinting at something?

We will encourage Muslim merchants to come to Ceuta.

We also encourage Ceuta merchants to go to Tangiers.

This will be beneficial for both cities.

But people have not recovered from the siege yet.

I know.

People have ran out of supplies and the aid is yet to come.

What is it, Tarif?

Two ships are coming close to Ceuta.

Ceuta!

And they have the flags of the Goths.

Go and check it out right away.

Come on!

Sir.

Two ships are drawing closer on the other end.

Have they finally arrived?

But the Muslim army has not yet completed its withdrawal.

How?

As soon as the two ships were spotted in the horizon,

their army stopped marching.

What misfortune is this?

Sir.

Is it possible for Muslims to do something when they have seen the two ships?

In war you have to expect everything.

Follow me.

Maybe they are trying to get to the two ships before us.

Sir.

Shall you order to send troops to assist the two ships?

Let us wait for a while.

Soon everything will be clear.

Alright.

Maybe they just want to buy time.

Maybe, but rushing might spoil everything for us.

Are we going to fight them?

Our army is still close,

why don't we seize the two ships?

And enter the city by force?

We do not move until we are sure.

A covenant is a covenant.

We do not take off until they take off.

Come on let us go back.

Come on.

Sir.

I see that Tariq is taking his time in withdrawing the army

He must be suspicious of the two ships.

What should we do then?

We must find a way for him to be reassured by our side.

Yes.

The best of determiners is the one who knew about the matter before it happened,

and was beware of it.

Caution is not cowardness,

and recklessness is not bravery.

Yes.

Thus, listen to me well.

We will not leave the walls of Ceuta

until we are sure that Julian's position from the agreement has not changed.

This is it, O Abu Amr,

this is it.

Badr.

Yes, my Master.

They must have others on this mission,

two men can only do so much.

They did not admit anything.

Do not leave their side until you know everything.

They prefer the Romans who gave them the worst of torment.

No, Abdul Aziz, do not rush,

for these people only represent themselves.

The people of North Africa who opened their hearts to guidance became loyal soldiers of Islam.

But father, we must put an end to these traitors.

It is much bigger than that, Abdul Aziz.

What do you mean, father?

I mean, the coasts of North Africa will never be safe

as long as the coasts of the Romans and Goths send us invaders and conspirators.

Julian's messenger brings a message to you.

Here you go, mater prince.

I know what is on your mind.

You may think that we have broken your promise and violated your covenant,

and those two ships that you have seen with your eyes are only here an old request

that I sent to the king Wittiza

even before there was an agreement between us.

And I guarantee that nothing will ever offend you.

What do you think?

I see that the man is keen on keeping his covenant with us.

And I see that he is true to what he said.

But I am still afraid and doubtful.

And I think that we should not rush to withdraw the army.

So let us settle the matter.

Tarif, take Shaddad and Bakr and keep an eye on the two ships until they enter the port.

Guards, close the doors and do not allow anyone to enter.

Come on!

Panchwa!

I want guards at all doors.

Yes, my lord.
