Is there trouble,
kadir?

It's mansoor.
He's always trouble.

But we paid his bribe.
We'll be all right.

I hope.

[ Man speaking
native language ]

Neera!

I was just looking.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm not tired,
honest.

We'll stop
in the foothills.

It's safer there.

Not much longer.

I was dreaming
about home.

It's so beautiful,
like a palace.

Big, grassy fields
for my grandpa's horses.

They're the best
in the whole valley.

They win every race.
[ Chuckles ]

Well,
almost every race.

Oh, he must be
a very important man --

your grandfather.

To breed horses
that never lose.

To live like a king
in a palace.

[ Chuckles ]

I know he didn't want
to send me away.

But he thought it'd be safer
until after the w*r.

Life has a way of shifting,
like blowing sand.

[ Animal screeches,
man speaking native language ]

What --
what is it?

Kadir, what's wrong?

[ Man speaking
native language ]

...Mansoor.

Mansoor.

Save yourself,
neera.

Go west,
find the mountains.

Follow them home.

Don't stop!
Don't look back!

Go now! Go!

What about you?

Go! Go!

Kadir!
Hah! Hah!

We just have to

We're close.

[ Neighs ]

Come back.

[ Sighs ]

Black?

[ Door hinges creaking ]

Hello?

Hello!

Hah!
[ Screams ]

Adan?

Neera?
Is that you?

We thought
you were dead.

No, it's really me
in person.

See?

What were you going to do,
chase me away?

[ Chuckles nervously ]

I didn't even know
it was you.

We heard the caravan
was attacked.

I didn't expect
to ever see you again.

Where is everyone?

They ran away.

Everyone?

Not ben ishak
or me.

Is he all right?

Sometimes,
I hear him crying.

Go away!

[ Door hinges creaking ]

Leave me alone!
Can't you hear?!

Go!

But...
It's me, grandpa.

Neera?

[ Chuckles ]

Oh! Grandpa!

Oh, neera.

If he hadn't helped me,
I would have given up.

I just wouldn't have
gotten here.

Sometimes in the desert,
the devil plays tricks.

Our minds get all twisted,
and we imagine things.

No, he's real!
He is!

He's already so strong
and fast.

We have to find him.

Neera...

This black colt
is just a trick,

a devil dream.

He doesn't exist.

Only here.

And here.

Let him go.

[ Distant galloping ]

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

That horse --
the one in front --

isn't that kazeer?

Uh-huh.

Kazeer doesn't belong
to us anymore.

None of them do.

They're scattered.

Rahmon took kazeer.

He took most of the mares.

They were like family.

There was no other way.

When the soldiers came

with their tanks
and their bombs,

they destroyed our fields.

Our crops
burned to the ground.

There was nothing left.
Nothing.

I could not afford
to feed them anymore.

I had to sell.

Even jinah?

The thought of anyone else
owning jinah --

that cut too deep,
like a jagged knife.

So I sent her back
to the desert,

where she belonged.

Some people thought
I was foolish,

but I knew it was right.

We are not breeders
anymore.

So be it.

At least we have
a roof overhead.

That's luckier than most.

We kept abba.

[ Nickers ]

Oh!

Abba!

[ Whinnying ]

Assalamu alaikum, ishak.

Need help?

We will manage.

Kazeer looks good,
don't you think?

You should have been
at the races.

He won, of course.

Mansoor was too busy
thieving his way through
the desert to bring radan.

So it was hardly a challenge.
Nothing even came close.

Still, I appreciate
my prizes.

You may recognize some.

He won those?!

Yeah.
It's the new rules.

Each tribe stakes
their best mare.

The winner gets them all.

You are a lucky man, rahmon,
to have won such fine horses.

Your reputation grows
along with your herd.

I hear mansoor caught
your silver mare, jinah.

They say he couldn't
catch the black foal
that ran beside her.

Perhaps it stumbled
into the secret valley.

You should have kept her.

You would have had
a chance.

Instead you have what?

That one?

Do the hopes
of the great ben ishak

rest with your plough horse?

[ All laugh ]

Stop being a hermit,
old man.

Come to
next year's races.

See kazeer win again
for the tribe of rahmon.

See you there, huh?

Assalamu.

Grandpa...

Did you hear what he said?

It's gotta be him.

My colt --
he's jinah's son.

It's gossip, neera.
Rumors.

If we find him,
we can start all over.

We can raise a new herd.

We'll have horses again,
just like before.

[ Chuckles ]
Listen to you.

Such big plans.

You remind me
of your mother...

Brave, fearless.

She loved her horses.

She could see right
into their hearts.

She rode like
she was born to it.

Better than most
of the men.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whinnying ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Whinnies ]

[ Whinnying continues ]

[ Horse whinnies,
neera panting ]

[ Whinnies ]

[ Giggling ]

[ Laughing ]
Whoa!

[ Nickers ]

Come on.

Good boy.
Good boy.

[ Grunts ]

[ Giggling ]

Ben ishak!
Ben ishak!

It's neera!

She's back, but she --
she's not alone!

Sh-- she -- come quickly!

Come on, hurry!

Neera!
What are you doing?!

Have you gone mad?

It's him, grandpa!
He's not a dream.

He's real!

And he's fast.
Did you see?

You could
have been hurt.

No, he wouldn't
hurt me.

He wouldn't.

His heart
is full of fire, neera,

like the devil shetan.

Whoa!

Easy now.

He can beat kazeer, grandpa.

I know it.
He can win.

He really can.

Even if he's as good
as you think,

even if he's half as good,
the festival's almost here.

There's no time to train.
There's no jockey.

There is nothing.

I can ride him.

He listens to me,
and he'll do it if I ask.

He's raw.
He's wild.

And you -- you're
just a child, a girl.

But that's not fair.

You know how dangerous
this course is?

I refuse to lose
anyone else.

Don't even think about it,
understand?

I won't allow it.

I forbid it.

I forbid it.

You have to help me, adan.

What?!
Are you joking?!

Tell me you're joking.

It's our secret now.
All right?

[ Laughs ]

Keep him slow
until you get past me!

Slow!

And wait for my signal,
all right?

On mark...

Be set...

That's not slow!

What happened to slow?!

[ Indistinct conversations
in distance ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Jinah.

Ben ishak!

Ben ishak...

Where is he?!

I don't know!

[ Whistles ]

Call him again.

[ Whistles ]

[ Whinnying in distance ]

h*.

We better hurry.

[ Whinnies ]

Jinah.

Yes.

Do you remember me?

CROWD: [ Chanting ]
Rahmon! Rahmon! Rahmon!

Rahmon! Rahmon!
MAN: Mansoor!

[ Chanting ]
Mansoor! Mansoor! Mansoor!

Mansoor! Mansoor! Mansoor!

[ Cheering ]

[ Neighs ]

Control your horse,
mansoor!

This is a race,
not a fight!

[ Laughs ]

[ Fanfare ]

ADAN: Wait!
Wait for us!

Out of the way!

We're coming!

[ Cheering ]

Whoa! Easy.

Steady.
Steady.

The tribe of ben ishak
humbly presents its
official entry --

the stallion shetan.

But there's
an entrance fee.

What do you have to offer --

that broken-down old mare?

[ Laughter ]

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

What if he loses?
Have you thought of that?

He won't lose.

Now go on and tell them.

The proud tribe of ben ishak

offers its finest horse
as entry fee...

The stallion shetan!

But it's supposed to be
a mare...

Not some, uh, devil horse.

The finest mare.
That is the rules.

Stop whining, rahmon.
Let him race.

Tell ishak to say
his goodbyes.

Good luck.

[ Neighs ]

[ Neighs ]

Easy, easy.

Ahh.

Steady now.
Steady.

h*. h*.

[ g*nsh*t, cheering ]

Wh-- whoa!

Whoa! Steady!
Steady!

Go! Go! Go!

No!

Hyah!
Hyah! Hyah!

[ Indistinct shouting
in native language ]

You can do it, shetan!

Run! Run!

Ahhhhh!

Ahhh!

Up, shetan!
Up!

Yes!

Good boy!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Ha ha!

Hyah!
Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Come on, come on!
Go! Go!

[ Both shouting
in native language ]

Hyah!

Yes! Yes!

Go! Go!

Yes!
Yes, shetan, yes!

Yes!
Good, shetan!

Good!

Come on!

Go!

Go!

Hyah!

Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!

Hah!

Get out of my way,
mansoor.

[ Speaking
in native language ]

Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah! Hyah!

We're gaining on them.
Come on!

Come on!

Hah! Hah!
Hah! Hah!

You can do it, shetan!
You can do it!

There's our chance, shetan.
Now!

Come on!

Watch out!

Pardon me.
Hah!

Hey, no!

No!

[ Panting ]

Rahmon is leading!

[ Crowd cheers ]

Hyah!

Faster, shetan!
Faster!

Go, shetan, go!
Go!

[ Crowd cheers ]

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!
Yes, neera!

Good boy.
You did it. You did it.

You're such a good boy.

CROWD: [ Chanting ]
Shetan! Shetan! Shetan!

Shetan! Shetan! Shetan!

Shetan!
Shetan! Shetan! Shetan!

Shetan! Shetan! Shetan!

I'm sorry
I disobeyed you, grandpa,

but he won.

He won!

Are you angry?

[ Laughs ]

Neera, neera,
you did it!

Neera!

We did it!
We did it!
Ah, you too!

We did it!
