[Episode 13]

I am going to interrogate
the prince.

No one shall get in.

What have you done Batuga?
Huh?

What have you done?

Why did you do it?

I couldn't let my father
k*ll Akkız.

Now they will k*ll you both.

We will be tried.

I bought us time, Saltuk.

What changes if you are tried?

How much time did you buy?
Until dawn?

There is no pardon for this!

Now you put that bowstring
on your neck yourself,

the one you avoided as a child
with your wits,

strangling yourself!

Why, my prince?
Why?

Quiet!

Stop yelling at me, Saltuk!

Because you couldn't save me
when I was a child,

you are angry with yourself!

Don't take your pain out on me.

You are right, my prince.

You're right.

I...

...am afraid they will k*ll you.

Move.

My prince Temur,
the Yasavul is interrogating.

After that.

If you don't want to die, move!

Ajar Alp!

Are you giving up your life
for that claw,

who tried to k*ll father?

Are you gonna ask me that
now, Temur?

Huh?

The day you found out I'm sane,

if you hadn't disowned me
from brotherhood,

then we would have sat down
and talked to you.

If we could just sit and talk,

then you would have known
really well,

that I would gladly spare my life

for the girl who was orphaned
on the day I lost my mother.

What is he saying?

Alpagu Khan,

on the day he k*lled Tılsım Hatun,

k*lled Akkız's father too.

Akkız became the claw
to avenge her father.

As that girl avenges her father,

she was going to avenge
your traitorous mother too, is it?

Neither...

my mother...

nor my grandfather are traitors!

Vargı Beg allied with China,

and set a trap for the Dağ.

Do you have proof?

If not, then what, Temur?

Huh?

Will you believe China?

You lied to me for
fifteen years!

What differs you from China?

If you...

put me and China on
the same scale...

it's better if we're not brothers!

My princes!

My princes!

Don't do this,
the trial will begin soon.

Don't.

The letter found on the
b*ttlefield was fake.

But to prove it,

Toygar Khan's stamp was required.

The day they went to open
his kurgan burial,

prince Kaya and Vargı Beg
attacked them.

And they didn't dig it.

Then when they went to dig
again one day,

a Chinese snake came out of
the tomb.

It bit Akkız.

The night Tai Zu kidnapped Batuga,

in front of Batuga's door,
Kırchichek saw...

Tai Zu,

Mei Jin,

and Vargı Beg together.

We must tell my father about this.

Those Chinese must die!

Not Batuga, not you!

Impossible.

The moment we speak,

China kills Yaman and Sırma.

And, Temur...

you can't do anything either.

Tutkun is in their hands too.

I am gonna go mad.

I'm going crazy,
I have to do something.

Let's do something,
let's not wait like this.

We must get you out of here,
my prince.

How did Akkız enter the palace?
Did you open the secret passages?

We did.

Is there a secret passage
in the palace?

Fifteen years ago,
Alpagu Khan had it closed.

But our men opened it.

Good thing they did.

We're going to get you
out of there, my prince.

I won't run away.

What do you mean 'I won't'?

Akkız is locked up in dungeons.

There is no passage to
the tunnels from there.

I'm not going anywhere
leaving her behind.

My prince.

Akkız sacrificed her life for you anyway.

It's clear that,

when China found out
she was the claw,

threatened her with the life
of you and her friends.

And she appeared in front of the congress
and admitted that she was the claw.

Saltuk is right.

If you don't escape,
you will die, Batuga.

And Akkız will have sacrificed
her life in vain.

My decision is final.

Either we live together...

or we die together.

Prince Batuga.

The council has gathered.

They expect me to take you.
I beg you, run.

The customs do not forgive this.

Impossible.

I will neither go anywhere
leaving Akkız behind,

nor run away from this palace
like a criminal.

The customs owe me justice.

Maybe it'll pay that debt.

What debt?

What debt?
Don't you understand?

Don't you understand it, Batuga?
They will k*ll you!

The penalty for lying to the khan
is death!

But the khan forgives if he wants!

I want to know, Temur!

I want to know!

Alpagu Khan, who held a bowstring
at my neck as a child...

Will he take his son's life today?

Or will he forgive me?

I want to know.

And let's find out:

Is Alpagu Khan...

my khan...

or my father,

or my enemy?

What if he's your enemy?

What are you gonna do then?

Then I'll be his enemy too.

One of us dies.

The trial is about to begin.

Take off your w*r robe.

I am a witness, not an accused.

Why should I take my clothes off?

You are a witness to prince Batuga.

But at the same time you are
an accused.

After being witness for prince Batuga,
you will be k*lled.

Ulu Ece said:

"A criminal who hurt the life of a khan
cannot carry a warrior's honor."

"Remove her warrior robes,"

"undo her braids."

If Ulu Ece thinks that one's
honor lies in these,

she's really mistaken.

Go. Come when I'm ready.

What if Batuga gives us away?

He won't.

He's smart enough not to
start a w*r by snitching on China.

Alpagu Khan!

Before the trial begins...

I would like to talk to my nephew.

I want to hear the voice

of my nephew, whose mother
you k*lled, and was

forced into silence for years.

Alpagu Khan!

My khan?

Prince Batuga.

Why are you sacrificing yourself?

-Why are you doing it?
-You know.

You know too.

I would have died, and you would live.
Now we're both gonna die.

Either we live together,

or die together!

Don't even think the other way.

Alpagu Khan?

Why don't you respond?

I said I want to talk to my nephew!

I don't want it!

Why?

Because...

you exiled Akkız.

My khan.

I am ready for the trial.

-Alpagu?
-My khan!

Hurry.

Deh!

Deh!

My khan,
would you not go alone?

It's not safe.

I'll behead anyone
who comes after me.

Where to, khan?
The council is waiting.

We are going to try
prince Batuga.

Tomorrow.

We'll k*ll my son tomorrow.

The trial will be held tomorrow.

Take them away too.
Keep them under watch until morning.

My son had a voice!

My son tricked me!

My son deceived me!

I will k*ll my son!

I am going to k*ll my son!

Tılsım!

I came.

Tılsım.

Tomorrow I will k*ll our son.

Let him live one more night.

And I...

And I...

Let me die with you here.
Is it okay?

This is Dağ land.

It will come against the Dağ.

No.

Come on, come on.

Hurry.

THE DAĞ TRIBE

What a long yabgu initiation it was!

Batuga was not Ret*rded!

What?

Since the day you strung that
bowstring around his neck,

he was hiding his intellect!

What are you saying?

You mean he's not disabled?

Are you sure?
Did you two talk?

We talked...

enough to say that he doesn't
want to talk to me,

for exiling Akkız.

Does my brother know this?

He knows.

We will try him tomorrow.

The penalty for
lying to the khan is obvious.

My brother...

will put the bowstring on
his son's neck again.

Out of that pain...

he took refuge in my sister's tomb.

He's lying on Tılsım's bosom.

That too, alone.

In his weakest state.

Batuga.

Batuga.

Batuga.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Alpagu.

Alpagu?

It's dawn.

It's time to k*ll your son.

Come on, wake up.

How fast!

Why are you happy?

Because of your son coming to you?

Why?

You betrayed me.

You forced me to k*ll

both the woman I loved
and my son.

I wish you'd shot me
in the chest.

I wish you had brought the sky
down on my head,

and slit the ground,
and thrown me it in.

Mother.

You made me the m*rder*r of
my most beloved people.

Deh!

Gök Tengri sent you, right?

For me to k*ll...?

Pray to Gök Tengri,

that on the way to heaven,

you won't face me again.

Deh!

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

I want to see Batuga.

Very important.

Why...

did you reveal your sanity?

You are gonna die!

Are you angry because I'm
going to die or...

because you don't have any
leverage to use against me?

Batuga, you can't die!

You can't just die
leaving me behind here.

Then come with me.

Are you waiting for me to
tell my father you poisoned him?

That would have been better.

The Sabars sent word.

They would come to ask for me
at the full moon.

If you die, there's no one who can
save me from being their bride.

Yes, there is another way.

What is it?

Saltuk told me your father slaughtered
and plundered the Western Gök Khanate.

True.

Thus, if you can catch your father,

Alpagu, Kaya and Temur will
all protect you.

My father would k*ll me
if he saw me.

I try to stay here out of
fear of him.

How will I catch him?

You know him best.
No ideas?

Actually...

not an idea, but...

I saw something.

What? What did you see?

Have you ever seen this
dagger before?

I said I want to talk to my nephew!

I don't want it!

Why?

Because...

You exiled Akkız.

It was at my aunt's waist.

And one of those new Begs
who stood next to her.

My smart prince!

Nothing escapes his eye!

What does it mean, Kırchichek?

You have one,
one's on Cholpan Hatun,

the other one is on that new Bey.

That's Yula Beg.

Son of Uzlu Beg, whom Alpagu Khan
k*lled for giving alps to my father.

There were nine copies of this in
the Western Gök Khanate treasury.

My father gifted one to me.

Now one of them is with
Cholpan Hatun.

One is with Yula Beg.

That means, Cholpan Khan,

and Yula Beg are with your father.
Right?

My father is preparing to
revolt against Gök.

And he's attracting the
clan chiefs to his side.

I'm saying they carry these
daggers like a symbol.

Kırchichek.

Go now, watch Cholpan Hatun,

and this Yula Beg.

Try if you can hear something.

Balamir must not divide the country.

As soon as it divides,
China will fall on us.

Are you thinking of the state
even when you're dying?

I don't understand you at all.

Deh!

State counselor.

It's time for customs,
let's judge my son.

Bring the accused.

Bring the witness.

Let the law enforcer speak.

Prince Batuga, the custom is law.

The custom is above even
the Khagan!

You broke the custom.
Demanded a trial.

And I, as the Gök law enforcer,
arrested you.

Now you will be tried.

Did you hear?

I heard.

The advisor may speak.

The Turkish Congress,

right Beys, left Beys.

The ninth one of our
nine holy laws says,

"Whoever tells a lie,"

"take his tongue."

"Whoever lies to the Khan,"

"take his life."

Prince Batuga,

kept his sanity secret
for fifteen springs.

Now...

he will be tried for the crime

of lying for fifteen springs

to the Great Khan and our customs.

After the council's verdict,

the sentence,

will be given by the Khagan.

Have the witness questioned.

How long have you known

that prince Batuga was sane?

Since I was c*ptive in
the Gök Palace.

Did he tell you himself?

He saved me from

the Gökmen chief, who made
an attempt on my honor and my life.

That's how I learned.

That means,...

not just being the claw,

you have been,
for many full moons,

a partner in lying to the khan.

Is that so?

What should I have done?

Send the son of Dağ to his death,
who was forced

by his father to act
as Ret*rded?

Let the accused be questioned.

According to the custom...

it is my right to hear questions

from him who have I lied to.

You may ask, Alpagu Khan.

Do you want to face me?

Don't you want to?

Why did you lie to me?

Why did you try to take my life?

Shall I not k*ll a prince who is
after his mother's revenge?

Did the great Alpagu Khan...

fear a little child...

without a hand and a foot?

Weren't you going to grow up?

I've grown up now.

Come on.

Let's fight.

Can I beat you?

Do I have a hand?
Do I have my foot?

Can I avenge my mother?

Isn't your wit enough to
take your revenge?

I got my answer.

Are you still asking me...

why I lied to you?

Just because you thought
I lost my mind that day,

you spared my life.

Now on your throne,

you sit thanks to my mind!

You fell into the trap of
Balamir Yabgu.

Balamir Yabgu deceived you all!

All of you!

You put that traitor on the throne!

If it weren't for my intellect
that you're so afraid of,

now sitting on the throne would be

not you, but Balamir Yabgu!

It is prince Batuga who told me that
Balamir convened the congress by deception.

I told you what he said.

Why should we believe you?

You tried to k*ll Alpagu Khan once.

Not once.

I tried to k*ll him twice.

Both times, prince Batuga
got in my way.

-Akkız.
-If it wasn't for him...

he would be dead now.

Akkız!

He told me, "just for the
revenge of two little children,"

"I will not allow my country
to be divided."

He turned me back from
my revenge.

You owe prince Batuga your life,
Alpagu Khan!

He could do all this without
hiding his wits as well.

How?

If he had his senses,
would his head be in place?

Would the bowstring not reach
his neck?

Don't hold back now, either!

Come on, obey justice!

We abide by the customs.

Lying to the khan is a crime.

The one who lied,

and one who took part in it,

have committed a crime
against the customs.

Who knows of your intellect
other than Akkız?

I did not share my lie
with anyone.

If I wasn't compelled to,

I wouldn't tell Akkız either.

One more question.

You've been hiding for fifteen springs,
why did you come out now?

You took the life of the woman who
brought me to life, Alpagu Khan.

I couldn't stay silent while
you also take the life of

the woman who gave me life.

Let the council decide.

Alpagu Khan.

I wish to talk to you alone.

I have things to tell you.

Do you think we'd leave a man on
trial for death alone with our khan?

Throw the girl in the dungeon.

Take prince Batuga to his room.

We'll talk after the council
has given its verdict.

GÖK HORDE
Capital of The Gök Khağanate

Kaya, what happened?

I didn't come because I
couldn't stand it but,

I died of curiosity.

The congress will make its decision,
we're waiting for it.

It was as if father didn't try Batuga,

but Batuga tried father.

How could this be?

They will still find him guilty.

Damn it.

There is no escape.

Fifteen springs...

For fifteen springs
he pretended to be Ret*rded.

How can a human achieve this?

Are you...

jealous of Batuga?

Why should I be jealous
of that ret--

Because he's not Ret*rded.

Maybe you're jealous because
he's so intelligent.

Akkız, whom you planned to make the
Ulu Ece, turned out to be the claw.

She not only turned out
to be the claw,

Batuga risked his life to save her.

Maybe that's why you are jealous.

Günseli.

Or, are you jealous that
your intellect was only enough

to make you a yabgu, and
his wits can make him a khan?

Batuga can't be khan!

He broke the custom.

It is obvious what waits
the one who lied to the khanate.

Death.

Both Batuga and Akkız will
be k*lled today.

And you will come with me to
the Western Gök Khanate.

When our prince Batuga was just a child,
he used his brains to escape that death.

Maybe now he'll find a way too.

Fine then,

I'll make sure he doesn't
find that way too.

Kaya, don't!

Thank you, Günseli Hatun.

You dug Batuga's grave with
your own hands.

Thank you.

I just...

wanted Kaya to understand
what it's like to be jealous.

You get jealous of Kaya,

and you poison Tutkun.

You throw Batuga into fire,
so that Kaya understands jealousy.

You hurt everyone except Kaya.

Why doesn't it hurt Kaya?

He was smarter than all of us.

He was smarter than all of us!

All these years he fooled us all.

He was smarter than all of us!

And he said “I want
to talk alone”.

What if he sent Akkız after
the seal?

Of course he did.

They went after the letter
that k*lled Tılsım, together.

Damn it.

He will tell Alpagu everything.

My Ulu Ece, what will we do?

I'm not going to do anything,
Vargı.

China will do it, you will do.

If he talks, before China
can give you away,

I'll take your head.

No one can reach me,
but you'll die.

Now go tell China,
"save yourself".

Leave.

Is it possible to forgive Batuga?

You know it too.

The custom does not forgive
anyone who lied to the khan.

That's why...

be prepared, Kaya Yabgu.

I think the same thing.

A Yabgu,

if he wants, can poison the life of all the
tribe chieftains that make the customs speak.

They must know this
before making a decision.

Just in case they make
the wrong decision.

Saltuk.

Something must be done.

The moment the congress gives the verdict
and my father pronounces the sentence...

the executioner arrives, you know.

Without rescuing Akkız,

Batuga will not run away.

But the Gök soldiers in
the dungeon,

are the loyal men of Kaya
and Ulu Ece.

Ulu Ece arranged it so that
Akkız would not escape.

I know, I know.

Come on.

Let's go check on Batuga.

The decision will be announced
shortly.

Come on.

Kaya Yabgu.

Your arrival while the council makes a
decisions about your brother prince Batuga...

does not comply with the law.

You are new, so,

maybe you don't know.

That's exactly what I came
here to say.

I started my duty as the
new yabgu today, you know.

While you are talking,

I thought I'd choose the
clan chieftains,

whom I'll let to trade on
the Silk Road.

Since honesty is essential in trade,
I will decide accordingly.

I can't let on the Silk Road

someone trying to protect a liar

trusting his honesty.

I think you should think about
it and decide again.

Okay?

This boy is the most dangerous
enemy among the Turks.

For years I didn't even
realize he was sane.

But he made the smartest advocacy
I've seen today.

Yet he cannot be saved.

I don't think he will speak.

But still, it's good to
frighten once again.

What are we gonna do?

I will die anyway,
Akkız will die too.

What if I say that
Yaman and Sırma will die?

Huh?

Can we go near Akkız?

I'll arrange it.

We'll enter the dungeon.

The owner came with
the Chinese dog.

-You...
-You get out!

What?

Leave.

Before we could be surprised
that Akkız,

whom we knew as a sl*ve,
turned out to be the claw,

we learned that prince we knew
as a ret*rd, was much more.

Besides, you...

sacrificed your life to save Batuga.

Batuga, to save you,

sacrificed the secret that
would cost him his life.

A perfect Turkish loyalty.

I'm fascinated.

Did you come

to admire, or to threaten?

Let's say, to offer a deal.

I already made a deal with you.

In return for the lives
of my friends,

I confessed that I was the claw.

Now...

let this Chinese princess
Mei Jin,

keep her promise on behalf of
her father, the Emperor of China,

and free my friends.

We keep every promise we make.

But in exchange for your life,

we promised their lives.

Do not worry.

If you die, your friends
will be free.

But you may not have to die.

We could be friends.

If we could learn what
prince Batuga

has learned and hidden,

for fifteen years, about us,

about those in the palace,

and about your state,

we can talk about our deal again.

You and your friends can survive.

If we become friends.

It's a wolf in front of you,
not a dog, Chinese!

A wolf can't be a spy.

Even if we die,
we will not sell our homeland.

We don't make friends with snakes.

If this wolf

doesn't make friends with
this snake...

not a single living thing will
remain in the Dağ tribe.

Your horses, your sheep,

your goats...

even the scorpions in your soil
will die.

You are so afraid, aren't you?

You are so afraid that,
while going to die,

prince Batuga might tell
Alpagu Khan everything he knows,

and take you with him.

That's why you're tossing threats.

But you are right.

If it was I,

I would be afraid of the genius
that can bring China to its knees.

The customs...

don't allow that genius stay
in that head.

And the wit of a dead prince...

does not scare us.

But you have a great weakness.

Tell Batuga...

if you keep your secrets,

China would be grateful.

It'll leave your friends and
Dağ alone,

even drown them in gold and silk.

But if you don't keep it,

that's when,

it wouldn't leave a single
Dağ-ian in the country.

Say it like that.

Oh, and also...

if you try to escape through the secret
passages you enter and exit this palace,

Yaman and Sırma can still die.

Don't forget:

Either you die...

or you will be our dogs.

You have no other way.

Tell all this to your prince,
who will bring us to our knees.

The council made its decision.

Come on.

Has the council made a decision?

It has, my khan.

Bring prince Batuga.

Kneel down, prince Batuga.

What is the council's verdict?

Except for one person...

according to all the members
of the council...

prince Batuga has violated
the custom, he is guilty.

Now...

the sentence...

will be given by our great khagan!

If the tradition disappears,

the country disappears!

If the country disappears...

the people become sl*ves!

Now my decree is that...

may prince Batuga,

who lied to the customs and
the khan for fifteen springs...

be strangled with a bowstring
before the throne of Gök.

No... no!

Let me know when the
executioner arrives.

Come with me.

Fifteen years...

Fifteen years...

You deceived me for fifteen years.

Now you're going make to me
the m*rder*r of my son.

Enough, enough!

Enough now, please!

Enough!

Enough!

Stop looking for someone to
blame for every fault!

I am not a criminal.

I was a child, a child.

You lied to me as a kid.

You've grown up now,
and you're still lying to me.

Why?

Dead children don't grow up.

If I hadn't lied to the khagan...

I was never gonna grow up either.

If you had lied to the khagan,

and hadn't lied to your father,

it would have stayed a secret
between a father and son.

Your father wouldn't say anything
to the khagan.

The khagan...
the khagan wouldn't know anything.

If you hadn't lied to your father!

Father.

I never knew...

when you were a khagan,

or a father.

I don't think you knew, either.

Wouldn't I know?

I don't know, is it so?

The day the claw shot me...

it was your father who said...

"Make a sound son, and I'll destroy
those black mountains before you."

But you kept silence.

I saved your life that day.

And now you're k*lling me.

Everyone thought your
mind's lost...

and your arm's crippled.

I considered you a home
to my soul.

The day you made a sound...

you k*ll me by going to
the barren soil.

You are the one who buried me
in that barren soil.

Not me,

the customs wanted it.

If the khan doesn't obey
the custom, no one will.

I'm sacrificing a son
for the state.

What are customs?

What's the custom, father?
What is it?

Righting a wrong
with a greater wrong?

Punishing a crime

with a greater crime?

Is custom putting a bowstring

around the neck

of a child whose only desire
is to live?

Your crime...

is coming to the world as
a traitorous mother's son.

You're paying the penalty of the
one who brought you to the world.

My...

mother...

isn't a traitor.

She never has.

Do you have proof?

Do you have a proof?

Khagans believe in evidence.

And fathers, just believe.

Alpagu Khan.

I have one last request
from you.

What is your request?

Akkız.

Let Akkız be at my execution.

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

I'm going to die.
I will die.

Open.

The decision?

Our khan issued prince Batuga's
death sentence.

He'll soon be strangled
by a bowstring.

Come.

Walk.

Where is Mei Jin?

She didn't want to watch
the strangling.

Well, I can understand Günseli...

how come Mei Jin is that sensitive?

What do I know, mother?

When you see her,
ask her yourself.

Why did you admit to being the claw?

Why did you confess?

You escaped from the palace.

You suddenly appeared here.

After confessing...

Batuga suddenly threw himself
in way.

What are you hiding?

If I tell you...

will you spare prince Batuga
and take my life?

Please, my khan?

Pardon him.

Take my life.

Forgive your son who has done
nothing but good to you.

I'm a traitor, I shot you.

He is not a traitor, forgive him,
please!

Please!

Let the execution begin.

Don't!

Look into my eyes, Alpagu Khan!

It's the last time
you see them.

Soldiers!

Kaya!

My Ulu Ece!

Traitor!

Don't come closer!

Don't come closer!

I told you, stop!

Or I'll cut down prince Kaya
right here!

Saltuk!

Stop, enough!

I will not allow

spilling the blood of my father
or my brother!

Stop!

How does it feel,

death wrapped around your neck,

Alpagu Khan?

This

is not a fleeing!

I was born

in this palace,
with blood in my palm!

And now,

I'm going,

with blood in my palm!

But I swear,

on my life, that one day,

we will come back to this palace!

And when that day comes...

either you will take my life...

or I yours!

Hereafter, you and we...

are neither khagan and subject,

nor are we father and son.

From now on, you and I,

are enemies.

Saltuk!

-Defend!
-Kaya!

Saltuk!

Nobody come after us!

The two-headed wolf will return!

He will stretch the golden bow!

He will sh**t the silver arrow!

The double-headed wolf will return!

It will unite the Turks!

Alpagu...

Let go!

Damn it.

They opened the secret passages.

These...

You...

How you...

Akkız?

Are you okay?

We're good, we're good, let's go.
They're coming.

What you are doing is madness.

Well, he's lost his mind.
But you, Saltuk?

-Hurry!
-How did you fall in this game?

Hey!

There is only one person left in
my palace who has sucked Dağ milk.

And that's you.

He told me, "just for the
revenge of two little children,"

"I will not allow my country
to be divided."

He turned me back from
my revenge.

Father!

Don't k*ll my mother.

Go Batuga.

Would you listen to her first?

Alpagu, don't do it.

I loved you very much.

From now on, you and I,

are enemies.

Go!

Now...

instead of worrying my heart...

why didn't you say we found a
way to escape the bowstring?

There were a lot of soldiers of
Ulu Ece and Kaya in the dungeons.

We couldn't let you know.

I thought you were gonna die.

I thought you were really dying.

There is no dying.

We're just getting started.

Don't die.

Never die.

We escaped, but

the Chinese won't let
Sırma and Yaman live.

Don't I even think of it?

Then you'll try to sacrifice
your life again.

Come here.

What is this snake doing here?

That snake will save
Sırma and Yaman.

To save our own lives

if we cause the death of
Yaman and Sırma...

Akkız will be devastated.

They must be saved.

Moreover...

my brother's love is also
in their hands.

We must save her too.

We must save, but...

who knows where Tai Zu hid them?

A whole wide land.
How will we find them?

We will not.

Tai Zu will bring them himself.

What's on your mind, my prince?

After the council has
made its decision,

there is some time until
the execution.

They shouldn't always
take us hostage, right?

This time,
we will take them hostage.

Temur.

You will kidnap Mei Jin
and give her to Saltuk.

I'll give.

But won't take back again.

I hope my friends are fine,

you Chinese.

Otherwise, one who doesn't
tear you and those dogs,

is not a wolf.

My princess, very bad things--

What are you doing here?

A little respect for
the Tayangu regent!

I said what are you doing here!

-Where is Mei Jin?
-Ah!

I was going to say exactly that.

Prince Batuga said...

If he wants his princesses,
let Tai Zu,

bring three Dağ captives
to the place marked here.

In case if you don't bring,

the princess could be the rebel
lame prince's first victim...

...could have been!

Give, give,
give me my mouthpiece!

What happened, Chalayır?
Fancy being a köçek dancer?

Hey, you!

How do you talk to the
Tayangu regent?

Standing before you this day,
is the one

who stunned and froze
the lizard Tai Zu!

He turned so blue like this,
just like this!

What happened, to turn him blue?

Something happened.
How's that concern you?

Will the great Tayangu regent
tell you about his affairs?

Do you think prince Batuga
escaped?

He hasn't been caught, has he?

I hope he isn't caught.

Right when he just got rid
of loneliness...

Let alone getting caught,

he'll come back and drive
them all out!

Wait and see.

The lame prince will not leave
that throne to anyone.

What do you know?

Let me know.

I'm a man who'd have been

a bey if I were nobility.

If I don't know, then who will?

All that t*rture didn't
do anything, but...

this worry is going to k*ll me.

All because of this devil.

Was it up to you to say that
Akkız was the claw?

Why are you opening your mouth?

How would I know that there
was a man in the box?

I was trying to save you.

Look, she's still talking!

My Sırma, it's okay.

Don't attack her whenever
it comes your mind.

If I attacked her whenever it comes my mind,
I would have torn her apart right now.

Akkız doesn't leave my mind.

What are we going to do,
my Yaman?

They keep moving us
around the steppe.

If they've circulated that Akkız
was the claw...

Akkız may be taken prisoner now.

Maybe she's even got k*lled.

We... we cannot save her.

It's okay.

Don't be afraid.

She's the claw.

She'll overcome anything.

She will come and save us too.

Don't you believe me?

I want to believe.

Come here, chatterbox.

What did you do to Akkız?

Did you catch her?

Unshackle their...

...feet.

Where are we going again?

How do you say it?

"Congratulations."

You are saved.

Your claw kidnapped
Princess Mei Jin.

As soon as I get my princess
from Akkız...

you are free.

Akkız kidnapped Mei Jin?

A real Akkız move!

THE DAĞ TRIBE

While Batuga went with
the Gök commander,

what did Alpagu Khan do?

Nothing.

Even Temur, who's called the
strength of Gök, couldn't do anything.

We thought the Gök Palace was
a castle, but, first you escaped.

Now, the disabled prince.

How many castles have we seen,
with rotten swamps growing inside!

Batuga has opened
the secret passages.

He turned the palace into
perforated cheese!

And he's got Saltuk behind him.

One of you is his aunt,
one his uncle.

You seem proud.

Balamir Beg.

He wanted to see you.

What did you do?

We found prince Batuga and Akkız,
my Bey.

He was in the forest on
the South of Sun Mountain.

Why do you say that to me?

Go tell Alpagu Khan.

Let him take care of it.

We're proud of our nephew,
but...

you have to crush the head
when it's young.

My princess.

Are you okay?

Send my friends over.

At the same time!

At the same time.

It's not Tutkun!

They're running away!

My friend!

We didn't say you were
the claw.

He tortured us a lot,
but we didn't say a word.

I know.

I know.

And we couldn't save Tutkun.

Tai Zu said, "We need her to
keep prince Temur in our hand".

We will find a way to save Tutkun.

You are back, right?

This will

put him to sleep till evening.

Batuga.

From this,

you can't escape.
You know, right?

That bowstring...

is your destiny.

We saved my friends.

Don't object this time,
my prince.

The whole land heard about
your wits.

You saved us too.

-This knee kneels for you.
-This shoulder bows for you too.

Get up, get up.

So what are we doing now?

I say, sleep for three days.

The t*rture was a little tiring.

Never. We almost died
before we could get married.

Look at me, we're getting
married tomorrow itself.

Sırma, are you crazy?

You are crazy!

Forgive me, prince.

Then the first wedding
of this union,

is your wedding.

Whose will be the second one,
Saltuk Beg?

While thinking of weddings,

what is the way of these
landless people? Think about that.

You know, prince Batuga.

From now on...

no lamenting about being landless!

No!

Both the Gök,

and the Dağ,

are ours!

It's ours!

When the Turks unite,

all the world is ours!

It's ours!

Until we unite the Turk,

there's no stopping!

No!

No more kneeling.

Get up.

But there is a wedding.

The moon is dripping honey
from its mouth.

Come, let me hug
my dear friend again.

Oh, I missed you so much!

Sırma!

sh**t!
