[Episode 12]

YEAR OF THE SNAKE

I grew up...

always silent,
hiding in my silence.

But I was born with much noise.

I once said it's not Alpagu,
but fear, that ruled the Gök.

One of the things that the Gök fears
the most,

is the Al Basty woman.

Al Basty woman is a spirit
as evil as Erlik Khan.

She hates mothers.

She comes when a child is born,
complicating the birth.

Sometimes she kills the child,
sometimes the mother.

During births where the life of
the child or mother is endangered,

to chase away the Al-Basty,

men make noise.

That day, everyone tried to drive off
Al-Basty so that I would be born, but,

there was something none of us
could ever know.

Someone who hates my mother enough to
search for the Al-Basty woman with a candle,

was right next to us.

Tılsım, my sister.

Hold on, sister.

Hang on, sister, come on, once more.

Come on!

I have no strength.

I'm being crushed.

Hold on, once more, come on!

The child is still not born,
it will die.

O Albastı!

Put the organs back in place!

Give the poor soul back!

If you don't keep your word,

if you don't obey me,

I'll take your eyes out.

Alpagu Khan is coming.

My khan, did you come here alone,

from the b*ttlefield?
It's so dangerous.

We were in the middle of the w*r.

Should I have brought my alps along,
counselor?

What happened?
Is my child born early?

We don't know,
but the child is not born.

We hung iron all over the place
to chase away the Al-Basty.

We also make noise, but,

the child is not born.

What do you mean 'not born'?

What do you mean by 'the child
is not born'?

What are the kams and shamans doing?

Why can't you drive this demon off?

When she saw the Gök Khan,
Albastı ran away.

What a joy!

Is it a girl?
Or is it a son?

Let it be healthy,

with full hands and feet, then,

whether girl or boy,
it's fine by me.

Tılsım.

Congratulations, Alpagu Khan.

You have another son.

Son.

He has a blood clot on his palm.

Lift him to my arms.

Here.

Like my ancestor Oghuz,

he's born with a blood clot
in his palm.

The blood clot is a mark of Tengri.

If there is blood on the palm,

he rules all over the world!

Gök Tengri,

has given our son the sign,

which he did not even give to

Gök, Dağ, Gün, Ay, Deniz, or Yıldız,

the sons of my ancestor Oghuz.

Let the drums be played.

Let the whistling arrows be fired.

Let it be announced to all the land.

From the blood of the Gök,
from the soul of the Dağ,

a Turk, son of a Turk,
a khan, son of a khan is born!

Right away, my khan.

Counselor, stop.

My khan,

why should I stop?

Aren't we going to announce our khan,
the son of a khan, to the whole land?

Don't announce anything to anyone.

This child cannot draw a bow
and sh**t arrows.

He cannot mount and ride a horse.

Do you mean he's handicapped?

Did the Al-Basti...

leave the child crippled?

Don't worry.

Your next child will be a Khan.

Will he...

have a name?

I hoped you would sit

on this throne after me.

Gök Tengri,

why did you cr*pple a son of khan,
born with a blood clot in his palm?

If he couldn't subdue the land
and make them kneel,

why was he born
with blood on his palm?

Why can't one with blood in his
palm use his hand?

Why was my son born handicapped?

Why?

Why don't you name my grandson,
Alpagu Khan?

My sister cries because her son
has no name.

What should I name him?

He was born with blood on his palm
like my ancestor Oğuz Khağan, but,

he cannot subdue anyone,
or make them kneel.

He can't take heads,
can't shed blood.

What should I name him?

You married my daughter.

Dağ and Gök became friends
when they were enemies.

Don't make me your enemy again,
Alpagu Khan.

Don't let your sons from Russia
dream of the throne.

May Dağ and Gök have another son.

Let him be named,
and sit on the throne.

We'll have many more sons
with your daughter.

I'll name them, and this child too.

But not because you asked to,

but because I want to.

Now...

kneel in front of me.

Apologize for trying to command
the khan of khans, the Gök khan, Alpagu Khan.

Doors!

Your father didn't yell at you.

The khan yelled at your grandfather.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

My father never yelled at me.
[YEAR OF THE TIGER]

[YEAR OF THE TIGER]

But until the age of ten,
I didn't have a name either.

My parents' next sons were
never born either.

While I grew up,
my mother got pregnant every year.

But she always miscarried.

They said that Al-Basty woman
left my mother sick.

Sometimes they called me
the 'cr*pple prince',

and sometimes the 'incomplete prince'.

Temur, always called me 'my brother'.

-And my mother...
-My son.

Are you painting?

I drew all of us.

Are you painting where we
offer sacrifices and make a vows?

May Tengri forgive us!

Yibek, clean it up.

And are you watching the half prince
instead of stopping him, Temur?

Come.

Mother,

when will I be a complete prince
like my brothers?

You're already complete, son.

I'm not, look.

I am incomplete.

The soul is never incomplete, son.

Our hands and feet
turn into soil anyway.

Take a good look at this throne.

This throne is your father's.

After your father,
it'll be one of yours.

If you

act like you don't own this throne
today...

you cannot have this throne
in the future.

What does that mean?

It means, don't play games
with that incomplete prince.

How many times have I told you?

If he sees you as his equal,

he will lay claim to this throne.

-He's my brother.
-He's not your brother.

Your rival.

How can he be a rival?

He's a cr*pple, he can't be a khan.

He can't be khan,

but he can rebel.

You must teach him

who will command,
and who will obey.

My princes.

Will you excuse us?

You may be raising the future khan.

But I'm raising a son,

Princess Vera.

I will not let you hurt my child.

Never hurt my son with your
poisonous words ever again.

Don't ever call my son
'incomplete' again.

Is he not?

Is he complete?

Does he have a name?

Does he mount a horse, gird a sword?
What's complete in him?

You can hate even a child,
isn't it?

Your heart is such a stone.

Do not weigh my heart,
second wife.

You will be crushed under it.

It is clear who
turned my heart to stone.

You didn't consider that
this khan had a wife.

Became a wife besides me.

Settle your account with me then.

Don't take your anger out
on a little child.

Don't bother my son.

You should've thought of it when
you got involved with my man.

Get that into your head.

Till I die,

you, and what you gave birth to,

and what you will give birth to,
is my enemy.

Do not relax,

trusting your khan, or your love.

Ladies.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

I was looking for you.

Balamir and Vargı have returned
from China.

We'll have breakfast together,
come on.

I will get my son and come.

Were you fighting?

No, my khan, we were talking.

In the throne room?

They said Kaya and Temur were
playing in the throne room.

I thought I'd come and get them.
I saw Tılsım chasing them away.

I just told her
to be gentle with my sons.

Fine, come on.

Come on, son.

Pour.

Tılsım Hatun.

Welcome.

Come, son.

You should have
brought Kırçiçek along.

We miss her.

We're coming from China
with Vargı Beg.

We stopped by on our way
to the Western Gök Khanate.

I'll bring her when we'll be
staying longer.

Eat.

So, my brother?

How are the things?
Will China stay put?

They seem intent on peace.

Tai Zu even said,

that the Chinese emperor wanted to

give his daughter
to one of the Gök princes.

Let them grow up,
and we'll see.

Don't drink!

That's not a bowl of
the Gök Palace.

What are you saying, son?

The handles of our bowls
are different.

It is not a bowl of
the Gök Palace.

Give.

It's poisonous.

Who set the table?

My khan.

Didn't you set it?

Who gave you this?

I'm asking you.

Speak.

Who gave it?

I will t*rture you till you talk.

Speak, devil!

Gök soldiers!

Take him.

My hero son.

Gallant son.

Valiant son.

Let's investigate this devil,
of course.

But first...

my son has earned his name.

Will I have a name?

Will they stop calling me
an incomplete prince now?

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

What name do you think
father will give me?

I can't think of
a better name than 'cr*pple prince'.

Don't mind him.

He's jealous that he couldn't
save my mother from the poison.

But whatever my father names you,

I will continue to call you
my brother.

Know that.

Like I'm your brother.

Come on, now you'll
have your name too.

You will be a complete prince.

You must be really good
at swordplay.

What was the last thing
I taught you?

Keep your feet firm, but also
stand sideways to reduce the space.

Yeah, the third rule is,
use your shoulder, not your wrist.

Come on, let's try.

Ah, my khan grandfather and
aunt are here.

Welcome, khan grandfather,
welcome, aunt.

Are you here for my
naming ceremony?

We came as soon as we received
the invitation arrow.

We thought we'd see you first.

Let me see, then.

What skills did you show,
that your father gave you a name?

What skill would he show
in this condition?

The Gök khan didn't name him till Now
out of his stubbornness against me.

He saw that he would not
have another son,

felt pity in the end,

named this miserable guy.

I'm not miserable!

My father didn't pity me either.

My father.

My daughter.

My sister.

My sister, Tılsım.

That grumpy Ulu Ece,

has gone mad about
this naming ceremony.

Oh, don't ruin our moment now.

Come on, come in.

You go on.

I'll practice swordplay with
the Gök princes.

Make it short.

Don't make them send men after you.

Come, let's see, Gök princes!

Take up your swords!

You can't deal with
the Gök princes, Dağ Bige.

If you dare,

come face me, Gök Alp.

Maybe later.

Now we have to go to the ceremony.
They await my prince.

Auntie,

do you think my grandfather was right?

Is my father naming me out of pity?

No!

What pity, my prince?

If it were me,

I'll be afraid of you, even!

Let's go.

A man's glory,

spreads by name.

The man's name
comes from his skill.

It turns out that my son,

was a hero.

A man's name is his destiny, son.

Bless your name.

May it spread from tongue to tongue.

Let it spread,
from the west to the east,

from the south to the north!

From now on your name is...

Batuga!

Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Long live prince Batuga!

Son.

If I have a name,
do I have the blessing too, father?

Can I be a khan too?

I was born with a blood clot
in my palm, like my ancestor Oğuz.

I still can't be?

No, my prince Batuga.

You can't.

The Turks wants their khan perfect.

Moreover,

an eagle with a broken wing,

can it fly and land on its prey?

The eagle of the Gök,

its claw,

can't be limping.

Why not?

The khagan commands.

The army becomes his claws
behind him.

But he...

can't gallop in front of his army...

and swing a sword at the enemy.

Fortunately, our khan,

has two more sons,

who can gallop on horses,

and swing swords at the enemy.

They don't count as complete,
either.

Because of the Russian
Varangian milk.

I request freedom to speak,
my khan.

If you need, speak.

What wrong did you see
in the Russian Varangians, Balamir Beg?

Our arch-enemy is the Dağ.

We were enemies, Ulu Ece.

Now we are not.

My sister is married to
the Gök Khagan.

You made a temporary pact
because of Tılsım Hatun's marriage.

A khan from our arch-enemy,
the Dağ,

or a khan from our

everlasting friend,
the Russian Varangians?

Enough!

I said, talk what's necessary.

While I'm alive, and young,

when I can have tribes of children,
you started fighting for the throne.

Tılsım Hatun is pregnant.

I believe,

Tengri will give us a healthy boy.

We're not enemies with the Dağ,

we are friends.

Put your mind not into this,

but into state affairs.

-Alpagu.
-Tılsım.

The baby.

Tılsım.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Tılsım.

Tılsım.

Stop crying.

How can I not cry Alpagu?

My heart burns right in the middle.

Another baby went to heaven
before I saw his face.

Is Gök Tengri punishing me?

No.

You are clear like water.

Why would Gök Tengri punish you?

I don't know.

But if it's not punishment...

why do I suffer all this pain?

Why are my arms empty?

Your arms will not be empty.

There is Batuga.

There is.

There is also you.

I am there too.

Batuga has a great mind,

and a deep heart.

Suffering is inevitable for
such people.

Now he will suffer because
he can't be a khan.

Take rest now.

Maybe you will be pregnant again.

If Gök Tengri gives us
a healthy son,

he can a khan,
and protect Batuga too.

Come on, wipe your tears.

It kills me when they get
more attached with each pain.

Alpagu getting more attached
to that woman

each time she miscarried,
rips the life out of my soul.

I can't take it anymore, Yibek.

If I rip that woman who
took Alpagu from me, with these hands,

do you think Gök Tengri will
ban me from the heaven?

My Ulu Ece.

You have overwhelmed yourself.

Yibek.

She must die.

That Dağ-ian called Tılsım,

must die.

We have to k*ll her.

My Ulu Ece.

The moment Tılsım is k*lled,

Alpagu Khan will suspect you.

-If he feels any doubts...
-What would he do?

Take my life?

I can't live like this anyway.

Can't you see?

No one will doubt me.

Get me Vargı.

Right away.

Ulu Ece is waiting for you.

Vargı Beg.

That woman called the Tılsım
must die.

As you command, my Ulu Ece.

I'll k*ll her,
and I'll take the blame.

As long as you are fine.

Let's just get rid of
our nemesis, the Dağ.

Have you gone mad?

Why would you take the blame?

My Ulu Ece.

The moment we k*ll Tılsım Hatun,
Alpagu Khan will doubt you.

Do you think I would allow that?

Don't worry.

I can't let Alpagu
mourn for that woman, either.

Alpagu...

will take...

her life with his own hands.

Ulu Ece, how would Alpagu Khan
k*ll Tılsım with his own hands?

When will you go to China
with Balamir next?

We will not go,
Tai Zu will come in the spring.

Fine.

Meet him in the spring.

You will tell him,
he must be involved

in the plot to eliminate Tılsım,

if China wants us to
take their princess as a bride.

What game, he will ask.

You will tell him,

Balamir has set an eye on the throne.

He doesn't want Tılsım to live,
because,

if Tılsım bears a healthy child,
that child will take the throne.

You will say,
"I agree with Balamir."

You will say, "I don't want
a khan who drank the milk..."

"of the Dağ,..."

"...our eternal enemy."

No one will know about me.

What will China do?

China will attack one of
the clans on our borders.

And Alpagu, gathering all his army,

will go to stop them.

We will tell them where
the Gök army will pass through.

And China will ambush them.

Nothing shall happen to Alpagu,
of course.

That's my most important condition.

After China has fought a little
and slain the Alpagu's alps...

they will withdraw.

Then while he's looking for loot
among the dead Chinese...

a note that you plant....

will be found by Balamir.

This note was found

on the Chinese who trapped us.

What does it say?

It tells the Chinese where
we'll pass through.

Our numbers, our formation.

It says everything.

It's not possible, Balamir Beg.

Very few people knew this.

My great khan.

There is...

a traitor among us.

Who?

Who?

What's written in the note
in the khan's hand?

Betrayal.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Give me the Dağ khan's stamp.

I fear they might find out
it's fake, my Ulu Ece.

Nobody will look for the real one.

Don't worry.

Alpagu has lost his mind
out of anger.

Now Tılsım will lose her mind
out of fear.

Give it here.

What did you write to Tılsım
as her father?

Dear daughter,

The trick I played on our enemy,
the Gök, has been revealed.

The Chinese ambushed the Gök army
with my help.

But Alpagu Khan found proof
of my betrayal.

I'm the guilty one,

but Alpagu Khan is coming
to the palace,

to try you for treason,
and execute you.

Run, right now.

Take the son of the Dağ along,

come to our camp.

Our armies are ready.

We will protect you.

Do not stay in the palace
relying on the Gök khan.

Your husband has sworn...

to take your life.

Now send this to Tılsım, and,

let her get her incomplete son
and escape from the palace.

Mother!

Look, there's a message.

And I managed to remove it
from the bird's foot with one hand.

Well done, my son!

Let me see, what's the message?

It has the stamp of my grandfather,
the Dağ Khan.

I always think.

If we hadn't run away that day,

if my mother had demanded a trial...

will the truth that we
never learned reveal itself?

Maybe if my mother hadn't escaped from
the palace, fooled by a letter from her tribe,

or if I had told her not to run away...

To be tried, to trust the
justice of the law...

Maybe my mother would have lived.

Hold on to me.

Maybe I wouldn't have to
demand trial today.

Come on.

How strange fate is!

When you make a mistake,
it somehow comes back to you.

But the roads it take
are so twisted.

So confusing.

There, my father's soldiers are there.

THE DAĞ BORDERS

Tılsım Bige.

What are you doing here?

-Did something happen?
-Take us to my father's camp immediately.

-Now!
-Get the child.

Get Batuga on the raft.

Batuga.

Get away from the Gök prince!

Alpagu Khan!

Your son Batuga, is as much a
prince of Dağ, as he is a Gök prince!

We will take him to his grandfather,
our Toygar Khan.

Dağ cannot take the son of Gök.

Balamir, take my son.

Father.

Don't k*ll my mother.

Go, Batuga!

Don't hurt my mother, father!

Balamir!

Would you listen to her first?

Mother.

Tell father that you are innocent.

He'll forgive you.

Balamir.

Come, nephew.

Come.

Alpagu,

my khan,

do not separate me from my son.

You know what the penalty
for treason is, Tılsım.

Both in your homeland, Dağ,

and in my homeland, the Gök,
it is the same.

I did not betray you.

I am not guilty.

If you are innocent,
then why did you run away?

Why did you run away?

My father, the khan, told me:

"I betrayed the Gök Khan."

“He will k*ll you,” he said.

Is it just him?

Was he the only one who betrayed?

Tılsım.

I read it a thousand times.

I made a mistake.

Your father, the Dağ Khan, says...

As my daughter Tılsım...

heard from her Gök husband
and told me...

on the third day of this month,
at dawn...

the Gök khan, Alpagu...

along with one thousand
and five hundred alps...

will set off from the Gök Horde.

When they approach the Chinese border,

they will pass through the valley
marked on the map.

Among them,

Balamir Beg...

Saltuk Beg, and Vargı Beg...

will be in the army.

Army general of great China,

my only wish from you is...

that none of them shall survive.

I did not die.

I survived.

But...

Two hundred and forty-nine
Gök Alps died.

Exactly two hundred and forty-nine
Gök alps.

How can I leave you alive now?

Alpagu,

Don't.

I loved you so much.

I am your wife.

You are, Tılsım.

You are.

Let the lofty mountains,

the forests,

the steppes...

let the ashen horizons be my witness,

I, who put fear in the hearts...

gave my heart to the daughter
of my enemy.

Now I took it back!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, mother!

Mother?

Wake up, mother!

Mother!

Open your eyes.

Mother.

How could you k*ll her?

Mother!

Mother!

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

-Yibek.
-My Ulu Ece.

A messenger came from Vargı Beg.

Is she dead?

Alpagu Khan stabbed Tılsım
in the heart.

Tılsım Hatun died on the spot.

Praise Gök Tengri!

I'm saved.

Will you

forgive me for taking her life
through trickery?

If I invoke you every day,

if I make an offering every day,

would you accept me
by Alpagu on earth,

and in your heaven in the sky?

THE DAĞ KHANATE

The loser,

becomes c*ptive to the winner.

You know.

Act accordingly, Akkız.

I will not be a c*ptive!

You too, wield your sword, father!

I'll take you c*ptive!

Would the great...

chief of Dağ warriors,
ever be a prisoner?

Huh?

Actually, would the great Akkız ever...

Great?

Alright.

The little great Akkız
will not be a prisoner either!

Akkız!

Darling!

Let's see then,

great Akkız!

Who will be c*ptive?

Let's see.

You are captured!

You are a c*ptive!

Only you can beat Evren Alp, Akkız.

From now on you are our leader!

Akkız, head of the Dağ warriors!

Give me one of those wooden swords,

so I can beat your father too.

My father made my swords,
I will not give them.

No one can take her sword
from my daughter, unless she wants it!

He can't!

My daughter will not be a c*ptive!

Never!

The Göks are coming!

Children, women, hide!

Hide!

Come on, children, come on!

Come on, get up, get up!

Hide, women! The Göks!

Akkız.

Go.

Sırma, Yaman, take Börte.

I brought you your daughter,

Toygar Khan!

My daughter!

Tılsım?

My sister!

Tılsım?

Tılsım?

Tılsım?

Tılsım?

My sister!

Don't cry, take this.

The one who took my daughter's life,

even if he's a Great Khan,

won't be let out of this camp alive!

I will destroy the tribe
of the khan,

who married his daughter to me
for spying.

Let's see it, then!

Let your tribe not be headless,

Cholpan Bige.

-Urha!
-Urha!

-Urha!
-Urha!

Dağ alps!

Dağ men!

Dağ women!

Children!

Your khan and Tılsım Bige
have betrayed my state.

And I punished them.

I don't know if you were
in this betrayal,

Cholpan Bige.

I have no proof.

That's why I spare your life.

But my order to you and
your tribe, is exile.

Be out of my borders before
the sun goes down.

Alpagu Khan!

We will not desert our country!

Father!

Father?

You die too!

You die too!

Two hundred and forty-nine alps died.

I counted them one by one
on the b*ttlefield.

Two hundred and forty-nine Gök alps.

They weren't just alps.

They were sons to their mothers.
They were husbands to their wives.

They were fathers to their sons.

Now their sons,

weep for their fathers, who
fought bravely on the b*ttlefield.

It is the right of Gök children
to cry for their fathers.

But it's not the right of a Gök prince
to cry for his traitor mother.

Therefore, as the Gök khan,
I forbid you to cry.

But as your father, I know,

it hurts.

You must understand me too.

It hurts my soul too.

He whose soul hurts
does not k*ll a soul.

I won't talk to you until I die.

I brought you here so you
might your khan.

Not to make you an enemy
to the khan!

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Balamir.

My brother.

May all the Dağ-ians in
the palace be beheaded.

You go to your room.

What did I tell you?

I said a Dağ girl can't
be wife to the Gök khan!

I said the Dağ is the Gök's
greatest enemy!

You said that our Ulu Ece is
jealous of the second wife.

You said that the w*r will end,
peace will come.

What happened now, counselor?
What happened now?

The second wife is dead,
Ulu Ece.

How is Batuga?

He wouldn't talk to me
until death.

His mother died.
His soul burns.

What does the fifth one of
our nine holy laws say?

The one who is traitor to his folk,

gets his neck slit.

Whatever the customs say,

bow down to it, son.

Yeah...

One day,

one of you,

will be the khan of the Gök!

Remember this well.

Isn't it counselor?

Ulu Ece is right.

The Gök khan...

praises those who obey the custom.

kills those who disobey the custom.

Has my order been carried out?

Yes, my khan.

All the Dağ-ians in the palace,

were k*lled.

Now, to discuss what we shall to do,

I would like to speak, my khan.

If you want, speak.

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

But...

only...

Batuga is left alive.

We await your order.

Batuga?

Prince Batuga,

is the son of the khan.

My khan,

the command is yours,

but...

prince Batuga,

carries the blood of Gök.

But he has sucked the milk of Dağ!

If we relax because
the blood is Gök,

we will lament because
the milk is Dağ.

Please don't, counselor!

Don't do this.

Even our Ulu Ece,

is a Russian princess.

Our prince Temur and prince Kaya,

have sucked Russian milk.

When this is the case,

because of the milk he sucked,

why do we incriminate
prince Batuga?

Mind your word, Saltuk.

My sons did not suck
a traitor's milk!

I would even give my life for
the Kingdom of Gök!

I will not betray like
the second wife.

My Ulu Ece.

Both Tılsım Hatun,

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

Our prince Batuga,

is not going to betray
while he's a child.

Batuga is a child today.

But tomorrow...

he will grow up, Saltuk Beg.

He will grow up.

We'll have a prince,

who is the son of both
Dağ and Gök.

He will know all the secrets
of the state.

What if he sells us out
like his mother too?

We fed an enemy in our
palace once.

Just because Dağ gave birth
to a cr*pple prince to Gök,

shall we feed an enemy once again?

Ulu Ece is right.

Batuga will want to take his
mother's revenge from us.

How will he do it?
He has no hand, no foot.

Temur!

To get revenge...

hands or feet aren't necessary.

The mind is enough.

That mind...

could be the end of
the Gök Khanate.

If prince Batuga lives,

he can even get to the throne.

Enough!

Batuga is my son.

He is your son.

But you...

are not a father, Alpagu.

You...

are a khan!

Either your son will live,

or your state!

Bring the executioner.

They will k*ll me,
they will k*ll me.

I will die, I'm gonna die.

Hands or feet aren't necessary
to take revenge.

The mind is enough.

But...

but what if I had no mind?

Only one person is left in
my palace who has sucked milk of Dağ.

And that's you.

No, no...

Batuga, Batuga...

Batuga!

Batuga!

-My son.
-My brother.

-Open your eyes!
-Batuga.

Batuga?

My brother!

Batuga?

My son!

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

It was the moment I started
telling the hardest lie.

My father was by me.

I knew.

But I couldn't open my eyes.

I have just lived ten springs.

I had just lost my mother
a day before.

Now, while the khan who
k*lled my mother...

...was looking at me,
I will open my eyes,

will not be angry,

will not cry,

I won't shout
"Die, you die too!"

I would just stare blankly.

I clenched my wooden sword.

And I looked at my
mother's k*ller.

Batuga?

It's me, your father.

Do you recognize me?

I recognize, father.

One day you will recognize
me too.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

My father waited for a full moon
for me to come to my senses.

He went to w*r with China,
when he became sure I would not.

Now he didn't have his love,
whom he k*lled with his own hands.

Now he did not have his son,
whose mind he took with his own hands.

There was a khan who sacrificed
himself to anger.

And the victims of that khan's wrath,

to be the blood on
the khan's sword,

a lot of alps.

He did not return from w*r
until the next spring.

And I...

My beautiful Temur.

Do you want a quince, Kaya?

I, missing my mother who
sacrificed her life for my mind,

waited for the day I was grown up.

Here you go.

Batuga, come.

Temur.

No.

She's dead and gone.

She left her ominous cr*pple
me with.

He's my brother, let go.

Temur.

Sit down.

I'll be right back, son.

She wanted to talk to Alpagu Khan.

What are you going to
tell the khan?

The night that Tılsım died,

my son died in my arms.

May your wound be healed.

May your family multiply.

After what we did to Tılsım Hatun
and prince Batuga,

Gök Tengri has punished me.

I will go to Alpagu Khan
and explain everything.

I will ask him to forgive me.

You k*lled the children in the womb
of the woman he loved.

Batuga, who managed to hold on
in his mother's belly...

you crippled him at birth.

Because of you,
he is handicapped,

and limping.

Do you think Alpagu Khan
will forgive you?

I did all this because you said it.

It was you who wanted me
to strangle prince Batuga too.

True.

It was me!

But no one will ever know.

My mother became pregnant
nine times.

I survived.

I lived.

For this, I owe the Creator.

My blood is blessed.

I owe my country for this.

I could endure my destiny,

clinging to a wooden sword.

I owe a lot to
the half of my destiny.

But the law...

owes me justice!

For lying to law and the khan...

lock the prince up in his room!

Throw the girl in the dungeon!

Until tried according to customs,

and given a verdict by the khan,

they are both prisoners!

You are here until you are
summoned for trial.

What have you done, Batuga?

What have you done?

What have you done?

Gök Tengri,

protect Batuga!

Lord of the blue sky and
the black earth!

Protect Batuga!

I couldn't protect him,
protect him. Please!

Please protect him!
Please protect!

Please!
