Dedicated to the Russian painter,

friend and brother Gennady Sotnikov.

O Lord,

you have searched me and known me...

You discern my thoughts...

And are acquainted with all my ways...

In your Book

were written all the days

that were formed for me,

when none of them as yet existed...

He worships the devil!

We obey the law of inquisition!

He must die...

Burn him!

Burn him!

I know the secret of his salvation.

The Heaven saw it

The Earth heard it.

God the Father -

Tengri - knows!

It seems the Heavens

have given us a sign.

I dreamt of it

yesterday night.

You will be my wife.

She will be my wife!

Blue sky.

Don't enrage the Heaven!

The Heaven knows everything.

Come to your senses.

Don't shed blood.

You will see,

my day will come, Hoelun.

The time will come

for me to revenge.

Temujin,

my sonny,

the endless steppe

is waiting for you.

Go,

do not be afraid.

It loves you as I do,

your mother.

It will protect you

and give you strength.

Temujin, Jamuka,

Taichar, Borte, Hasar,

everyone goes home now!

I do not want to go.

Why have you

brought the children here?

Look, Dragon-Mogol will revive,

and dart fiery arrows at you.

Father! Wait for me!

Father!

The Heaven is our Father, God Tengri.

Sun comes up and goes down

and a Father recurs in his son.

Father, tell me what is that?

The graves of our forefathers.

When the time comes

and you become like me,

the khan of our clan.

And the forefathers' spirits know that.

You know,

indeed stones are put like this

in honor of past great warriors.

I know.

You see,

what a smart boy your match is?

Right, Borte?

He is nice, I know it.

Kiddy, one day

you will become the Great Khan.

Let's run to Jamuka!

Let your heart cheer you

in the days of your youth,

but know that for all these things God

will bring you into judgment, Jamuka.

In the name of the Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

One of them will be given

the power to hear the call of destiny,

the second -faith

and the third - prophecy.

Spirits of the Earth,

I consecrate myself to your service.

People say sacrifices to spirits are made here.

We must not come here.

You're right, Borte.

That's why Jamuka and I

will swear an oath of brotherhood here

to let the spirits hear it.

What if the spirits take us

away as Khokhochoi told us?

Don't be afraid, Taichar, I will

always stand up for my little brother.

He's not afraid.

Jamuka, let's promise,

from now on to be

like brothers, you and I.

Temujin, I swear,

let us be like brothers.

Look, horned Khokhochoi.

Spirits of the water,

accept the sacrifice!

Be careful, Temujin!

Hold on, brother!

Look!

The Heaven knows,

the Earth knows,

I know, you know...

The sacred spirit of fire,

save my sonny.

Don't let his heart get cold.

Mother,

the father is killed.

Sonny.

Well well!

Is a cup overbrimmed?

Temujin, my son,

be the ruler to your brothers.

Let your mother's

sons submit to you

In order for everybody

to honor the Son,

as they honor the Father...

Those who curse you -

let them be cursed;

and those who bless you -

let them be blessed!

And people will serve you,

and tribes will submit to you...

So what, left alone without a husband?

You will be mine then.

By the custom of affinity.

I will be your defender.

Indeed you have nobody to protect you.

Your son will never be the khan,

it is Bekter who will become the khan.

I will cope with it myself.

Only Tengri knows

who will be the khan.

Go away, Targutai!

Hoelun,

as I told you, he would never be the khan.

Accept my offer, or I will tie

his hair to the tail of a horse.

Let's do it.

Now it is my

master's property, Bekter,

the future khan.

Bekter, help us to gather up!

You are not yet the khan!

Don't just stand there.

Come on, gather up everything.

Hey!

Round up to Targutai's lands!

Don't leave anything!

Mother, don't do it.

I will become weak.

The father told me

our hair kept our forefathers'

memory and strength.

I want to be like my father...

Sometimes you have to hide

your power from unkind eyes.

Your hair will grow up and you will

become strong like your father.

And your son will be like you.

Your grandson and

your great-grandson.

Till then I will keep

your power.

Sonny,

you have to leave until better days.

All right?

Temujin,

in the family of Borte,

your bride,

the Heaven will protect you,

it is your father's will.

When I grow up and become the khan,

I will never hide my power from anyone.

Temujin!

My son.

Mother.

Jamuka!

Temujin, my brother!

I am happy to see you!!!

Jamuka, brother,

are you hunting for the wind?

No, I am not.

I'm listening to the songs of the wind.

- Where is your bride?

- She is at home. Waiting for me.

Bekter, has your brother-in-law

Temujin returned to his mother?

Have you seen him?

Yes, I have.

Do you like the khan's knife?

You are the future khan.

Take it!

A khan has to have such a knife.

Spy upon them.

And leave signs.

Go!

All right.

Are you spying on us?

You traitor!

I am the khan.

You're a weakling not a khan!

Hey, Hasar!

I will cut your throat!

The murderer is there.

Run away!

Catch him! Stop him!

He won't run away!

Catch him!

Grip him tightly!

Tie him up!

Fratricide!

Now you are my slave!

Mother, my dear, don't cry!

I will be back soon!

Open!

How do you like the palace,

The Great Khan?

Aim good at the shackles!

What's the use of the one-eyed khan?

As if a wolf,

he glowers like a beast!

Hey, let's go for a drink!

- Yes.

- Yes, Let's go!

If he goes to his family,

we'll find and kill him.

You've let him go!

Dogs!

Find him!

Even if you have to shovel the ground!

Seek him, seek.

He couldn't have gotten far!

If we don't find him,

Targutai will strip our skins off!

You need to be as quiet

as if you're at a graveyard.

To die, to disappear from everybody,

to fall asleep and to awake free,

as your father, Yusugei.

Let Tengri help you.

Heaven the Father!

You know that I have been pursued

by enemies for all these years.

They have trampled my life in pieces,

they enforced me to live in darkness,

my soul is like the thirsty earth...

Show me the path,

I should proceed along.

Teach me to fulfill Your will...

Father!

My son,

here your time has come.

Stand up.

It's time to go to your own land.

It's about time, my son.

Mother,

I have become like my father,

as you'd predicted.

I am bringing Borte, Mother!

My children, Temujin and Borte,

you will give birth to my grandchildren,

future khans,

the bearers of our ancestry.

Borte, I have been dreaming

about you for all these years.

Jamuka! Is it you?

it's hard to recognize you.

It is me, as you can see!

And where are your cheeks?

Did Borte agree to marry you right

after they'd disappeared? Huh, Brother?

You envy me, right?

Here I am inviting you to the wedding!

I am happy for you.

You know,

Khokhochoi became

the shaman of our clan,

he is waiting for us near the sacred tree.

Temujin rescued from obscurity...
