DESTAN
[EPIC]

No animals were harmed
while filming this series.

[Episode 9]

Destiny smiled upon you again,
my Khan.

The Khan the congress just placed on
the felt and raised to the heavens,

is going to be tried now.

Destiny is so ruthless, my lady.

And now it makes me
take my brother's life.

Will the daughter
seek her father's revenge?

You must think of a solution
for that too.

[Will the daughter
seek her father's revenge?]

[You must think of a solution
for that too.]

[I'm the girl you orphaned on
the day you orphaned your son.]

Talk to Alpagu Khan
as soon as we reach the palace.

Let him fulfill my conditions,
and hold our wedding.

When we reach the palace,
your father will be put on trial.

Maybe he'll get ex*cuted.

And you're thinking of a wedding?

Leave what I think.
Do what I say, or else...

Or else?

The disabled prince,

how innocent he looks!

If they knew,

khans may be dethroned,

khans may be placed on the throne.

Shut up!

If only they knew!

Akkız!

Go!

Come on!

What did you offer Kırçiçek
to sell out her father?

She wanted to marry prince Batuga
and stay in the palace.

I thought she would ask a lot more.

What is she gonna do
by marrying that invalid?

I don't know what she'd do,
that's all she says.

Dağ girl.

Do you think Kırçiçek will
avenge her father?

I don't know, my Khan.

Why?

Just think.

If someone k*lled your father...

Father!

...wouldn't you want to avenge
the m*rder of your father?

You die too! Die!

Protect the Khan!

Come on!

Your highness!

Batuga!

No!

Batuga!

My prince.

Don't be silly!

Something is fishy.

None of these arrows hit.

The target is not the Khan.

They are going to rescue Balamir.

Balamir!

Defend yourself.

Protect the prince!

Akkız!

Who are you?
Where are we going?

We are saving you from death.
What more do you want?

The horses are this way.

This alp... Kınay alp...

is from our tribe!

Cholpan Khan.

Let go of Balamir!

Get away from Balamir!

Let go, Balamir is mine.

Are you trying to save Balamir?

Why, Cholpan?

Are you not her spy?
Don't you know?

I have no idea!

Cholpan, what are you doing?

Tutkun escaped with Temur.

Now I can't marry her to prince Kaya.

She cannot marry Temur anyway,
China will not keep him alive.

The girl I've been
raising for years betrayed me.

My only chance for
revenge against Alpagu Khan,

is to join and fight with Balamir.

Balamir is a madman
blinded by his lust for the throne.

Joining him is madness!

I have no other way
to take over the Gök!

The sound of arrows ceased.

The Göks will
search the forest soon.

If they find out that the Dağ did it,
then the Gök will end the Dağ.

Go, my Khan.

I won't go without Balamir,
give him to me.

Say he was
snatched away from you.

Rather than letting the steppe soak
in blood by giving you Balamir,

I'll slit his throat right now!

Are you disobeying
your Khan's orders?

For whom?

For the Gök khan
who k*lled your father?

You are the claw that hit Alpagu Khan.

Are you serving him now?

Are you serving a Khan who would carve
out your heart if he learns who you are?

Don't make me k*ll you.

The moment that arrow leaves that bow,
I will slit his throat.

From now on, know that,

your khan has turned her back,

your home is no more!

Cholpan, don't!

Don't do this!

I banish you from my tribe.

Cholpan!

Do not enter the Dağ.

You betrayed Evren Alp's vengeance.

Do not even come
to your father's tomb!

From now on,

do not say you have a Khan.

Do not say you have a father.

Don't call yourself a Dağ-ian!

Say you have no tribe,

no ancestors,

and no home.

Saltuk!

Akkız! Where are you?

Run.

Run away, my Khan.

My prince.

Balamir escaped,
but, thank Cholpan Khan.

She helped us catch him.

Is that so?

We lost him.

My Khan arrived on time.

Bless her.

Come on, let's put him to trial.

Let the law punish him.

Gök warriors!

Are you okay?

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Light a holy fire
at the throne of Alpagu Khan,

the Great Gök Khan, which

was touched by evil spirits.

Cast the lead and
cast out the evil spirit!

Our arrowheads are made of lead.

Break and throw it
into the holy fire.

My Khan,

we'll take the tip of the first arrow
from you.

Prince Kaya.

Right Beys, Left Beys.

Dağ girl.

The rage of the sky,
molten with lead,

has settled down in
the rainwater from the sky.

The throne is yours,
be seated, my Khan.

You are the blessed one.
Command, my Khan!

Let the trial begin.

Bring the accused.

Let the law-enforcer speak.

Balamir Beg,
the custom is the law.

The custom is above
even the throne.

You broke the customs.

And as the law-enforcer of the
Gök Khaganate, I have arrested you.

Now you will be judged.

Did you hear me?

I heard.

The advisor may speak.

The Turkic council,

burns the ash,

not the blessing.

Balamir Beg, who
claimed to be favored by Tengri,

turned out that he was not.

Here,

he will be tried

for deceiving the council,

ambushing the princes,
and treason against the khan and the state.

After the decision by the council,

the khan will issue the sentence.

Bring the witness.

The witness may speak.

When the claw caught for sh**ting
Alpagu Khan turned out to be fake,

my father said,

since the real claw is still lose,

then let's shed
the blood of the princes,

and put the blame on the claw.

He dressed me like the claw,

and forced me to ambush our Khagan
and show his wound to the councilors.

When he said,

"Either you do this,
or I will k*ll Alpagu Khan,"

I was forced to accept.

I faced our Khan and fought him
at the hunting game, but,

I could not allow our

customs to be trampled, or our
Great Khan, Alpagu Khan, lose his throne.

If the defendant has
something to say, say it.

I have a question.

In order to sell me out,

what did you pay my daughter?

Nothing.

I did it

for my customs and for my Khan.

Does the accused
have anything else to say?

I have one more question.

Where is the real claw?

[Where's the real claw?]

[Will the daughter
seek her father's revenge?]

[You must think of a solution
for that too.]

[Where's the real Claw?]

[Will the daughter
seek her father's revenge?]

[You must think of a solution
for that too.]

The claw shot you in the shoulder.

And you caught and
hanged an innocent girl.

But there is no news...

from the real Claw

Where is she?

You admitted,

that it was you who disarmed our Khan,

at the hunting game.

Maybe from the very beginning,

it was you who shot our khan,
and maybe,

you're angry about our Khan
marrying you to a disabled prince.

You thought he wouldn't do it
if he dies.

Maybe, you are the real claw
who shot Alpagu Khan.

It was not me!

How could you do this to your daughter?

I'm not the claw,
you know that too.

Of course. I know.

You are not.

I did it so that

you could understand how it feels like

to be sold out by your own blood.

What an unfortunate father I am,

if the flock of sheep here kills me,

I don't even have a daughter
to chase after my revenge.

[Where's the real claw?]

[Where's the real claw?]

[Will the girl
pursue her father's revenge?]

[You must think of a solution
for that too.]

You die too!
You die too!

[Where's the real claw?]

Enough!

If the defendant has anything else
to say, let him, or keep quiet.

I am not a defendant!

I am the khan,

who sat on the felt
held up by Gök Tengri!

The khağan's path is very tough.
And so is Gök Tengri's test for his shepherd!

But you are

poor sheep fooled by
the words of a girl,

who betrayed her father.

By the word of a girl who
can't even be faithful to her father,

you are trying to take down

the khan who was blessed,

and elevated by Gök Tengri!

If you have the strength,

k*ll me right now!

Otherwise, what you fear
will come to you.

k*ll me now, or else,

Balamir Khan will
bring you all to your knees!

Does the Ulu Ece have anything
to ask the accused?

No, he's obviously out of his mind.

Do the clan beys and tribal khans
have anything to ask?

None.

After the precise observation
by the council,

when the sun comes up,
give the verdict of the council!

Dağ girl!

You said if Balamir comes to the throne,
the Chinese armies would be at the border by morning.

Yes, my Ulu Ece, I said.

Balamir was overthrown before he
ascended the throne. Alpagu Khan is back.

Stop your armies before anyone finds out.

Let us not judge you like Balamir.

Master Tai Zu, do you think,
my father would stop the armies?

My Ulu Ece.

Beautiful words are not true.

True words are not beautiful either.

I would love to say that
our Emperor will be very happy

that Alpagu Khan has taken the throne,
and will call back his army,

however, these words can not be true.

Why wouldn't it be true?

Because, prince Temur, who is married to
our princess, ran away with a girl,

which made our emperor so angry.

Insulting a princess' dignity,
in the eyes of China,

is such a huge crime.

For that reason,

unless you find and bring Temur,

unless you k*ll that girl,

neither my emperor father stops,
nor his armies.

YELLOW TURGESH CARAVANSERAI

Innkeeper.

Anyone asked about us?

No, sir.

Alright.
I saw them watering the horses.

The horseshoes of the gray maned
need to be changed.

I'll do it right now.

Bring us food.

Yes, sir.

Let me know if anything
suspicious occurs.

What did Cholpan Khan say?

She said, "Do not attack,
wait until the backup arrives."

Who are you?

It's me.

Is anyone looking for us?

No, don't worry.

I can't help it,
both Dağ and China are after us.

One of them will k*ll us.

Tutkun.

If we had stayed in the palace,
you would be dead by now.

Do not worry.

I will not allow anyone to
hurt a strand of your hair.

Why are you crying?

Nothing. Sırma is waiting.

Akkız.

You're angry with me because
I accepted Kırçiçek's terms of marriage.

I know.

If you are crying about that...

Why would I cry if you marry Kırçiçek?

You cry.

Ugh.. Get up, get up!

As I understand it,

Balamir is put on trial.

Let him die.

What's your progress?

What is the situation
of the Chinese army?

We come from the Chinese border.

The Chinese are approaching,
they may cross the border by morning.

-Numbers?
-Tens of thousands.

Damned it.

After the news that Balamir
did not ascend the throne,

won't they go back?

No.

Mei Jin said, until Tutkun dies
and Temur comes back,

the Chinese army will not return.

What are we gonna do?

I heard them talking in the tribe.

Cholpan Khan's trackers,

found the trail of Temur and Tutkun.

Cholpan Khan sent a squadron of alps

to capture and bring them.

Where are they?

Near Karlyk Principality,

there is a place called Yellow Turgesh.
There.

Almost a day's journey.

Can you be there before the Dağ?

It's very difficult,
we'll have to fly.

Then fly, Yaman,

Fly!

Take Tutkun to safety,
bring prince Temur.

Are you separating them too?

"Them too"..?

Who else did I separate?

Gong.

The council has made a decision.

Come on.

Prince Batuga,

is there anything you want to tell us?

-There is.
-Command.

Tell Temur, if he doesn't come back,

there will be a w*r with China.

Come on!

Come on, you heard prince Batuga.

We must fly to find Temur and Tutkun
before the Dağ.

Bring the accused.

Has the convention reached a verdict?

Yes, my Khagan.

Is Balamir Beg guilty or not?

He is guilty.

Whoever sits on the throne
without the blessings,

it is customary to be under the throne.

The blessed Gök Khagan
will issue his decree.

Kneel before the khagan!

It is the decision of the Khağan,
who knows the custom is a sword,

to his brother,
who thinks the custom is a staff.

At sunrise, Balamir Beg,

before the throne he coveted so much,

will be strangled by a bowstring.

law-enforcer.

Ultil dawn,

to enact the law at
the throne of Gök,

assembly dispersed.

What are we gonna do?

Go back to Dağ?

There's no going back now.

Before abducting Balamir,

before adding his anger to my vengeance,
there is no stopping.

They will strangle Balamir at dawn.

We can't break him
out of the Gök dungeons.

We will.

An excellent prison break...

How?

Çalayır! Çalayır!

Balamir was convicted.

He will hang at dawn.

Hurra, hurra, hurra!

Long live Alpagu Khan!

I knew it, I knew.

I said Gök Tengri will not
revoke Alpagu Khan's blessing,

and give it to the devil Balamir.

I said Alpagu Khan
would take Balamir's life.

I said it, I said, didn't I?
I told so!

Don't deny it, just yesterday
when prince Temur smuggled Tutkun,

you were grumbling that Cholpan Khan

withdrew her support from Gök,
and Balamir will win for sure.

You said yesterday,
"Find a hole to hide,

Balamir will exile us all
from the palace."

You were crying,
singing sagu!

"You sang Sagu, sagu!"
Shut up!

Are you calling
your sl*ve official a liar?

Come on, come on!

Go say it.

Let them slaughter a stallion from a horse,
a bugger from a camel, and a ram from a sheep!

Let them pour kımız in the leather pools!

Come on, Yibek!

You go check on Ulu Ece,
is there anything she wants?

Come on, come on!

Cholpan Khan.

You have to deliver a message
to the Chinese daughter-in-law.

Come in.

Mei Jin Hatun.

Cholpan Khan sent you this.

Leave.

What does it say?

Cholpan Khan,

could give us Temur and Tutkun.

You summoned me, my Khan.

I took my throne back.

Thanks to you.

I sat on the lead-cast throne.

I became a khagan again.

But a khagan has a lot to do.

He will take
his brother's life first.

He will find his son and
separate him from his beloved.

He will sacrifice his loved ones
for the customs.

If he can't,

he will have to fight against China.

Before he knows, he will be covered in red blood,
and bear his share of this endless chain of slaughter.

Now, I wanted to ask you before
I become a khagan and face my destiny.

Will you forgive me?

For what, my Khan?

Because the khagan k*lled your father.

That day, as a khagan,
I took your father's life.

And a daughter lost her father.

[You betrayed Evren Alp's vengeance!]

[Don't even come to your father's tomb!]

Say.

Will you forgive or not?

I won't even forgive myself.

How can I forgive you, my Khan?

Why don't you forgive yourself?

For not avenging my father.

Did you not?

Didn't you sh**t me with two arrows?

I always asked myself.

But I couldn't get it.

Balamir raised
an army of the impostor claw.

But the real one isn't around.

Kırçiçek became the claw.

But where is the real one?

In the past,
my caravans were plundered.

But now,

that's not there.

When Balamir asked me today,
I understood well.

The claw could not show up.

Because she was a sl*ve
in the Gök Palace.

The real double-headed wolf's claw,

was right beside me!

Ever since I learned that I k*lled your father,
I've been thinking about it.

Why didn't this girl
seek his revenge?

She is not a girl
who won't take revenge.

Why didn't she do it?

But you did.

You shot me, knocked me down.

You avenged that little girl,

claw!

There's only one thing I can't answer.

Why didn't you finish what you started?

Why did you give up?

You could have taken my life
more than once if you wanted to.

But you saved my life,
you saved my throne.

Why didn't this orphan girl
want to take the khagan's life?

Why didn't you finish
the job you left unfinished?

Why? Tell me!

Because that orphan girl
shot the khanate, not the khan!

Because if that orphan girl had
taken her revenge,

her homeland would collapse!

But I wanted so badly
to get my revenge.

Not for that orphan girl.

For those two little kids.

For Akkız, whom you left without a father,

and Batuga you left without a mother!

I wanted so much to sh**t you,
my Khan!

I wanted so much
to sh**t you in the heart!

Run. Run, claw!

This sword really wants
to slit your throat!

Run, so I won't see you again.

If I see you,
the law will see too.

I will take your life just as
I k*lled Tılsım and your father.

Run away!

Did you talk to Alpagu Khan?

When is he having the wedding?

[Draw your bow,]

[sh**t your arrow, Akkız.]

[May where the arrow falls
be your destiny!]

My Khan?

Kaya.

Kuzu Beg.

Find and bring me Temur
and the girl he eloped with.

My khan, father,

let me take Akkız with me.

If Temur tries to resist us,

I may need her.

No Akkız!

Do what I told you.

-But father...
-Go!

You! Why did you not know
about Balamir's plots?

My khan, I didn't know either.

He kept it all hidden from me.

Aren't you the law-enforcer of
the Western Gök Khanate?

What were you doing when Balamir
was building an army of Claws?

Were you hunting deer?

My Khan!

I dismiss you from
the law-enforcer title!

Get out of my presence.

Let the Chinese envoy who is a monk,

and that Chinese princess
who is my daughter-in-law, come in.

My Khan.

You were at the Dağ when I arrived.

That's why we couldn't speak to you.

Let me congratulate you
on reclaiming your throne and...

Cut it!

Your army, which has reached
my borders, will go back.

My Khan.

We have an old agreement with you.

At the wedding of prince Temur and Mei Jin,

you made a promise to the emperor
in my presence.

You said, "your princess
would never be disappointed."

I would love our army to go back too.

However, the emperor,

is really angry that
his daughter's honor was hurt--

Is it China now trying to
intimidate the Gök Khanate?

If I say it will go back,
it will!

My Great Khan!

My father marches towards the Gök
for my honor.

What if he doesn't go back?

Then we will fight China!

And if you survive,

take your honor back,
and go back to your father's house!

Get out of my presence!

Tayangu.

Bring Kırçiçek in front of
the State Counselor.

You, Günseli!

You poisoned the girl that
Çolpan was going to marry to Kaya.

My stupid son kidnapped her too.

You upset my relations
with the Dağ and China.

My Khan,... I--

If it happens again,

you will go back to Khorasan!

Get out! Out of my sight!

Ah yes, come, come.

Come in, daddy's girl.

Kırçiçek.

You gave Günseli poison for Tutkun.

You ran away from the palace
and appeared before me as the claw.

You showed my wound
to all the world.

Now you want to marry my son
to stay in the palace.

My Khan,

you authorized Akkız.

I had my father prosecuted.

And Akkız promised me on your behalf.

Don't start about Akkız!

There will not be a wedding.

Tayangu.

Inform the Sabar Beg.

Let him come get my niece for his son.

What?

I can't be a bride to those bandits!

You will be.

You will be so nice a bride.

Go give them a little trouble.

Leave!

My Khan.

What are you doing?

What is all this fury?

You burned everyone and everything.

This is not the way things should be.

Let's get Vargı Beg
back to his position.

let's appoint him regent for the
Yabgu title vacated by Balamir.

Let's have a talk and
renew our pact with China.

Don't teach me how to run the state.

If you don't like it,
go back to your Russian king father's home.

What are you doing here?

What I'm doing?

First of all,
what are you doing?

I did what you asked at the convention.

I said everything you wanted me to say.

My father will die
at dawn tomorrow because of me.

Your father got back the throne.

You are the winners.

But now Alpagu Khan is going to make me
a bride to those th*gs called Sabars.

One:

We made you tell the truth.

Your father will die for
opposing his khan and homeland.

Two:

I pity those bandits called Sabars.

Three:

Get out.

What are you doing here?

Akkız, aren't you gone yet?

Go where?

She can't go anywhere
until this is solved.

Look at me, Dağ girl.

I don't know what you tell him,

or how you get Alpagu Khan to accept it.

But if I don't marry Batuga
and stay in this palace,

just like I sold out my father today,

tomorrow I'll sell you out too.

I will tell your father,
and the congress,

that you are sane.

I'll have you tried like my father.

If Alpagu Khan doesn't k*ll you first,

you know what our customs would
do to those who lie to the Khan.

Your soul--

--or your soul,
I'll take right here!

Akkız!

Get out.

You have one day.

One day.

A blink of an eye.

Not more.

Either Alpagu Khan

marries me to you...

or all the world will learn
that you are sane.

What are you doing here?

Didn't my father tell you to run
or he'll take your life?

How could you put yourself forth
in the throne room?

What if your father
turned around and saw you?

What if he found out you were sane?

Just because of that,

won't you marry Kırçiçek?

My father drew a sword at you.

I thought he would k*ll you.

Oh, what would you have done?

Throw yourself in front of the sword?

I would have.

What I feared the most has happened.

My father found out
that you were the claw.

Was I supposed to
worry about my own mind?

Absolutely.

I am the claw!

You are the double-headed wolf!

The land of the Turk needs you,
not me.

I need you too.

Do you?

A lot.

Even more than this.

Then find a way not to marry that devil,

Prince Batuga.

I will find it.

I swear to you, I will.

Is Batuga in his room?

I don't know, my Khan.
Shall I check?

I'll check.

Batuga!

Batuga!

Batuga!

The girl you were attached to
turned out to be the claw.

Did you hear?

But it's not your fault.

I played the flute for her.

I became a poet when I was a khan.

I was stripped of my khanate.

I became human in front of her.

I opened my heart to her
by the fire at the Dağ.

I only opened my heart to you in my life.

And two Dağ women too.

To Tılsım and Akkız.

But both wanted to take my life.

Both were my enemies,
both lied to me.

And I was supposed to be smart.

Emotions don't have a mind anyway.

Emotions are stupid anyway.

Good thing you don't have a mind too.

Or you would have lied to me too.

For being the only one who
didn't lie to me in this life,

thank you son.

Bless you!

Forget that girl too.

Because if I see her one more time,
I will take her life.

I don't stand a chance
if I face him again.

If he finds out that you are sane,

you don't have a chance either.

And we only have one day.

Before Kırçiçek tells him.

What are we gonna do?

We will finish
what we left unfinished.

We're going to dig up
my grandfather's grave.

We'll retrieve his stamp.

In just this one day,

we're going to prove to my father
that the letters are fake.

If my father

finds out that my mother was innocent,

maybe then he can spare us.

I must,

sneak into the Dağ.

Why?

Cholpan Khan...

banished me from my home.

Your father too,
expelled me from the palace.

I'm left without a home or land.

Why?

It was she who abducted Balamir.

When I didn't give her Balamir...

she banned me even from
visiting my father's grave.

To dig your grandfather's tomb,

someone of his blood
needs to get permission.

She will never come with me.

I have my grandfather's blood too.

I'll get the permission.

And we'll find a way
to get into the grave.

Surely we will.

Let's do it right away,

to just make it to the wedding,

Gök prince.

'Gök prince' again!

So, even if we find the stamp
and show my father,

even if we

sell Kirchieck to
these bandits called Sabars,

these words will never stop, obviously.

As long as the sky is above us
and the earth is below us,

it won't end.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

My khan, the monk Tai Zu is here.

Cholpan Khan, the Dağ Khan.

Priest Tai Zu.

You accepted my invitation,
thank you.

You said you would
give Prince Temur and Tutkun.

How could I not accept?

Yes.

I will give you both.

But you will do something for me too.

What?

You will break Balamir
out of the Gök dungeon.

How?

You are the adviser
to the emperor of China.

There is no locker you can't turn.

You will find a way.

Am I asking you
how to find Temur and Tutkun?

Why do you need Balamir?

Maybe I'm in love with the man,

and I don't want it to die.

Don't interfere in it now.

Tell me,

are we gonna help each other or not?

Before dawn,

Balamir Gök will have left the palace.

What was Tai Zu doing here?

He asked me if I knew
where Temur and Tutkun were.

What did you say?

What can I say?

Do I know their location?

If you knew, you would tell.

Saltuk!

I know.

You're angry with me for
trying to rescue Balamir.

But for my vengeance,
I was left without...

without options, right?

No choices.

What else should I do
to raze the Gök to the ground?

Tutkun is gone.

I had no other way
to get my revenge.

Allying with Balamir

is not revenge.

It's greed.

Or have you too become
throne-hungry like Balamir?

You too, my Cholpan?

Don't do it.

Don't you see
what happened to Balamir?

The Gök law-enforcer,
who betrayed Gök Khan

out of his love for Dağ Khan,

has come to me,
to judge my revenge.

I am in love with you.

True.

You thought I betrayed the Gök
because of my love?

I betrayed the Gök
for putting a bowstring

around an innocent child's neck,
in front of my eyes.

We did not leave
any Dağ-ians in the palace.

Only Batuga is left.

We await your order.

Batuga?

Prince Batuga is
the son of the khan.

My Khan,

the command is yours,

but,

prince Batuga,

is the blood of the Gök.

But he has sucked the milk of the Dağ.

Talsim Hatun,

and her father, the Dağ Khan,
paid the price for their betrayal.

Our prince Batuga,

is not going to betray,
he is a child!

For years, I am in search of
the justice I could not

find in the throne room that day.
Don't you know?

I know.

You said that day I opened this wound.

What did you say?

I said I want revenge for justice.

What did you do to that woman
who wanted revenge for justice, Cholpan?

What did you do to the woman
I fell in love with?

That woman, is still here.

Are you sure?

You tried to rescue

the power-hungry Balamir.

You banished your tribe's

brave warrior Akkız from her tribe.

Can you say you will not do
another crazy thing?

I will not.

You wouldn't lie looking me
right in the eye, would you, Cholpan?

I would not.

Don't do it.

Don't.

Shall I tell Tai Zu that you've
given up on rescuing Balamir?

Why?

Because that would be
betraying Saltuk Beg.

Even Kırçiçek betrayed
her father today.

These things happen in throne wars.

We have to play their games too.

We need to teach you horse-riding.

Let's go get that stamp,

let everything fall in place,
first thing.

Come on.

One, two, Three!

Come on!

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

-My princess?
-Tayangu.

I need something from you.

Could you please come to my room?

Yes, my princess.

What do you need?

I want you to break Balamir Yabgu
out of the dungeon.

You don't know what you are saying.

Where are you going
before I'm done talking, Tayangu?

I can't listen to your words.

You expect me
to betray my customs.

You are mistaken.

We expect you to save your family.

Your wife.

Your five children.

Shall they die, Tayangu?

Five?

My son!

We're sorry about your sixth child.

But do not worry.

He didn't suffer.

Our warriors have very sharp swords.

Let's see now,

shall your remaining children
live, or die?

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Alpagu Khan is going to Balamir.

Are you ready?

The Gök soldiers aren't asleep yet.

They'll be asleep soon.

The medicine I put in their food
is only taking effect.

The khan's kımız?

It has opium syrup in it too.

Nice, very nice.

We did a good job choosing
an important person like Tayangu.

He will easily rescue Balamir.

Open.

Open the door.

You may leave.

Is my time of death close?

Tengri lives eternally.

The son of man
is born to die anytime.

Let's pour it.

Let's drink.

To what shall we drink?

To being brothers.

Even if it's until the break of dawn,

to being brothers.

To being brothers.

Those at the door must have passed out, too.

The cart has arrived.

Go open the courtyard door.

Get Balamir in the cart with Tai Zu.

Then?

Then go to bed,
sleep peacefully, Tayangu.

Before morning,
your sons and wife will be home.

But you're not going to sleep
on your last night, are you?

It doesn't feel like my last night at all.

I don't feel like I'm ever going to die.

Who does feel it, though?

Maybe,

Tılsım felt it.

First,

your wife, and now,

you k*ll your brother.

Your burden is too heavy,
I wouldn't want to be in your place.

But you wanted to be on my throne.

See, that I wanted so much!

I wish you hadn't, Balamir.

I wish you had not.

Till the sky splits,

till the earth shatters,
no one would have looked at us sideways.

If,

you were close to your essence,

If you hadn't,

mixed our blood
with the Russian and Chinese,

I wouldn't want to.

Balamir!

Balamir is escaping!

Gök Palace! Wake up!

Gök Palace!

Wake up!

Gök Palace! Wake up!

Gök Palace! Wake up!

Gök Palace!

Wake up!

Balamir is escaping!

Tayangu.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing?

Hold on to me.

Get up.

What's going on?
What are you doing?

Where are you taking me?

My khan, lean against the wall,
you drank opium syrup.

Gök Palace!

Wake up!

Walk.

Balamir is escaping!

Tayangu.

You!

Why?

Move away, captain.

Take him away.

You've been very helpful, Tayangu.

What about my sons?

Are you okay?

It's hard, being banned from
visiting one's ancestor's grave.

Like committing a crime.

Since Cholpan Khan tried to rescue
Balamir, who violated the cutoms,

she committed the real crime herself.

You did nothing wrong, Akkız.

Come on, ask
your grandfather's permission,

and let's open the kurgan burial.

My ancestor Toygar,

grandfather,

I know you shall not dig out
the ancestral burials,

we shall not disrespect, but

I am of your blood.

For the blessings,
for the customs,

for honor,

please allow this son.

YELLOW TURGESH CARAVANSERAI

We're friendly.

The sword would have stabbed your heart.

Come in.

Sırma.

Tutkun, what have you done?

I listened to the voice of my heart.

You understand it the best.

We understand...

But how will you explain this
to a huge country?

You have to think about it.

Don't worry yourself with that.

How did you find us?

Kunata said,
the Dağ has found you.

Cholpan Khan has already sent
a squad of soldiers here.

We must to take you back.

There's no return.

My prince Temur,

we saw it with our eyes,

China is at the border
with tens of thousands of soldiers.

They won't stop until you return.

Let's go back.

Leave, wait outside.

"Let's go back" ?

Did you give up on everything
so quickly?

Don't you hear?

If you do not return to Mei Jin,
China will attack.

A w*r between Gök and China
will break out because of us.

Let it be.

I'll go fight.

But no more making deals with China.

Tutkun, I will not leave you.

We're under attack!

We're under attack!

Stay here.

Sırma, go up to Tutkun.

Stop playing games,
draw your sword!

I will not draw a sword
at my country!

But your country will slice us off!

-Who are you?
-It's me.

Come here!

What's going on here?

Prince Kaya,
good thing I sent you word.

Otherwise you couldn't have reached,
they would have k*lled prince Temur.

Where is Tutkun?

The Dağ-ians took away Tutkun.

Nobody come after me,
I will k*ll anyone who does!

Kuzu Beg.

Found it.

Are you ready?

It's time you got what your deserve,
my prince Batuga.

Time to appear before your father and say,
"the Dağ did not betray Gök,"

"My mother was not a traitor."

"I'm not insane either."

finally.

Did you break Balamir out?

No,

where did that come from?

The whole palace was
put to sleep last night.

Tayangu is dead,
Balamir is gone.

This is your doing.

This is the work of
the Chinese snake called Tai Zu.

Talking about snakes...

What did you do?

Did you take the seal
from that kurgan tomb,

and put the snake inside?

Akkız!

Akkız!

Akkız, don't!
