Tear Jerker / Águila Roja

There are so many scenes and entire episodes that could be listed here that we'd never finish. Below are just some examples.

• Cristina's death, complete with Gonzalo cradling her corpse and screaming to the night sky while her blood forms the shape of an eagle around them. It just shows that Águila Roja was born from pain.
• The bald jailer of all people gets an emotional moment when the city is under the assumption that the end of the world is coming. Hernán orders the guards to evacuate the garrison to go die with their families or the way they want, but the jailer doesn't leave, and actually tells him with a forlorn look that he has spent all his life in the dungeons and that there is nothing for him outside.
• The episode focusing on Gonzalo and Sátur after learning that Alonso and Gabi have been killed. As if the reactions of two fathers who have just lost their sons wasn't enough, then Sátur makes accusations against Gonzalo for having provoked God into punishing them.
• When Hernán is fired as Sheriff in Season 7, he naturally gets very upset, and yet he can't avoid hearing Nuño, his unknowing son, admit that he is ashamed of Hernán. The former Sheriff is so broken that he can only mutter a casual reply and stumbles as Nuño gets past him and out the room. Nuño being teary-eyed while saying it only makes it worse.
• Sátur's speech to God in Season 9 after he discovers the King did kill Gonzalo's mother after all.
  "Today I don't come in a good mood. Let's have some words you and me. [Sits on the prie-dieu.] You, who are high there, who see everything, who know everything, who move us at your will, how have you allowed me to bring my master to this palace? How have you done that to a good man? Why have you allowed me to know the truth? You, who have always been my light, whose word every step I made was to follow... I never thought you could be so cruel. I don't believe in you anymore. He... he had been searching his father for years. It would have been better for him not to know it was the King."
• At the series's penultimate episode, there are two deaths.
  • Firstly comes Gonzalo's horse. It gladly allows Sátur to ride it in order to reach Guipúzcoa and appeal to the King to save Gonzalo, but the travel is so rushed and harsh that the poor animal falls dead while Sátur frantically tries to revive it. When its eyes are left staring lifeless at the sky, Sátur knows his hope to save Gonzalo has vaned. The scene's soundtrack and camera takes make it heartwrenching.
    • Specially harsh when you learn that, in real life, this horse was Águila Roja's second mount. The first horse used in the filming reportedly died in unclarified circumstances in 2015.
  • And then it comes Cipri. The bitter former innkeeper, who had been reduced to a living misery and a cheap servant for the last years, who had turned more and more bitter to his friends with all the right reasons, suddenly sees a guard entering the cell they are fighting in with a gun pointed up to Gonzalo, and he swiftly does a Taking the Bullet moment with its appropriate Big "NO!".
