A CENTURY AFTER GENGHIS KHAN,

THE MONGOL EMPIRE FIGHTS DURING THE BLACK DEATH.

THE KHANS, AT WAR, APPOINT PUPPET KINGS,

DESPERATE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL

ON THE SILK ROAD, THE LIFELINE OF ASIA AND EUROPE.

AT THE HEART OF THE CONFLICT,

YOUNG TIMUR, OF THE BARLAS CLAN, CHALLENGES HIS CLAN

BY SWEARING LOYALTY TO THE MONGOL RULERS TO PRESERVE THE FRAGILE PEACE.

AS POWER SHIFTS AND WARLORDS RISE,

THE FATE OF EMPIRES

AND THE SILK ROAD HANGES BY A THREAD.

East...

CITY OF SAMARKAND

Get up!

GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE KING

TIMUR BARLAS COMMANDER OF THE KING'S ARMY

We must protect the king.

You finally arrived.

KAY KHOSROW, LIEUTENANT OF TIMUR

Grandfather...

Who did this?

The Mongols.

He was appointed by Tughluq Khan himself.

Why would the Mongols kill a king who paid them tribute?

What's going on here?

LEADER OF THE BARLAS CLAN

A Barlas dagger?

Was it you?

It wasn't me.

He was just a puppet under Mongol control.

They made it seem like it was the Barlas,

our clan.

I will gather my men and we will speak with your brother in Khorasan

so that he may be our next king.

And you...

You're going to find out who did this.

What if I don't find out, nephew?

Spread the word that the king is dead.

The king is dead!

What if he tries to seize the throne?

Convince the nobles to await our return with Husayn.

Because if they don't wait,

Samarkand will go to war.

Tughluq Kan will be coming.

East,

When will it be your turn?

Kay Khosrow…

Forget it.

The king is dead!

The king is dead!

The king is dead!

The king is dead!

THE LAST CONQUEROR

In our absence, our fears for Samarkand came true.

ONE YEAR LATER

Kay Khosrow disappeared, presumed dead.

My uncle Hadji led a reckless rebellion against the Mongols

and brought the wrath of Tughluq Khan upon the entire city.

I chose to be loyal to the Mongols, to Tughluq Khan.

FOUND OF THE KANATO DE CHAGATAI

Your nephew swore his sword to me.

Timur is a fool.

He betrayed his own people.

Look at me!

I wondered if I could have prevented everything that night

if I hadn't believed my uncle.

However, with his last breath, he swore that he did not kill the king.

You forced me to do this.

It wasn't me.

Tughluq Khan sent his son Ilyas to find us on the Silk Road,

where looters, emboldened by the chaos,

They attacked the trade caravans that sustained us.

Leave before we lose everything!

The car, sir! The gunpowder!

Where are the bahadures?

Now, we await the end of the fighting.

news from the Khan,

the day Husayn claims his right to the throne.

HUSAYN IBN MUSALLAB HEIR TO THE THRONE

In the name of our future king,

We protect the path

maintaining the line of defense until order is restored.

They were after black powder.

On the way to China.

There is nothing more dangerous than an out-of-control weapon.

I'm telling you, she was the Zoroastrian witch, famous around here.

Because no ordinary woman could have surpassed me.

Don't be so sure, brother.

We can still catch more.

Intercept them at the next stop.

Do you want me to attack a retreating woman?

Yes, I forgot that you are a man of honor.

Those laws of Yassa will one day kill you.

Those invaders will attack again as soon as we turn our backs on them.

And the Bahadur will come to protect the Silk Road.

As promised.

Those promises will be useless if they invade the route, Timur.

¿ Hijo de Taragai?

Timur Barlas...

How much?

Yeah!

Ambassador!

Help these travelers collect their belongings.

They will camp with us tonight.

Saved by the legendary Timur, the pride of our righteous city.

I feel honored.

You're exaggerating.

It's true

that you faced wolves to defend your mother?

I would have had to be very young.

That's what history says.

I'm just an ordinary man from the Barlas clan, like you.

What you did today was anything but ordinary.

My grandfather received this from the great Kublai Khan.

A promise of safe passage along the Silk Road.

He said the shine alone would keep looters away.

Now it seems to be an invitation,

even before your grandfather's death, my king.

And I thought you only knew the legendary Timur.

Kazkhan was a great leader

and a good customer.

Tughluq Khan and the Mongols of Jetteh are our only chance

to restore order on the Silk Road.

And when they pass the throne to me,

I will bring peace to our people,

from one end of the Silk Road to the other.

You can't afford to lose one of your strongest men.

Take a few days off,

Get well soon.

Aljai, why retire?

Why are you pretending to know the intricacies of the game?

Has your sister already retired from anything?

It's a trap for our new friend.

ILYAS KHOJA SON OF THE KHAN

Timur, it's been a long time.

Prince Ilyas.

What brings him here?

My father wants to see you in Samarkand immediately.

As soon as I attend to my men.

These attacks are becoming more and more frequent

And some bahadures need time to heal their wounds.

Tu kan did not summon his men, Amir Timur.

- You seem fit to ride. - Of course I am.

I would not disappoint the khan or his messenger.

A strategy game.

Come on, my friends.

Let's collect the loot and return to Timur.

Perhaps he will accept a mission in Samarkand.

Why were you summoned and not Husayn?

"I don't trust Ilyas." "I trust his father."

Tughluq will give the throne to Husayn.

What will people think when they see you?

Riding to Samarkand instead of Husayn?

I am not a threat to them.

There are rumors, Timur.

About your father's visions.

I am not my father.

And I am not who he thinks he sees.

The people do not see the man that I see.

Not even the kind of father

which you are about to become.

Father?

My love!

What shall we call it?

"It"?

A "to".

Something noble,

like you.

Tekina,

in honor of your mother.

For a son,

Jahangir.

King of the world?

Your brother won't like it.

Bottoms...

I promise you that, before our son sees this world,

I am going to restore our family's place in Samarkand.

Everything will be as before.

Hopefully.

Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?

In these uncertain times, I will not risk my beautiful wife.

You'll be safer with your brother.

Just promise me you'll be careful.

With the Mongols of Jetteh, nothing is free.

I'll make you proud, my queen.

Make us both proud.

Your uncle is dead.

You just did what you had to do.

I will make my son king of Samarkand.

East,

I know there is no love

between you and my son,

But I need you here in Samarkand.

as his chief advisor.

I understand, my kan.

- But... - Come here.

Since the days of my grandfather, the great Genghis Khan,

My family has watched over the Silk Road.

It is our means of survival.

And it must be protected in order to thrive!

And will he let his son Ilyas finish this task?

And what about the promise he made to give the throne to Husayn?

Do you have children, Timur?

Ready.

I just found out.

Then you'll soon know.

that there is no greater disappointment than a child who fails to achieve

reach their potential.

Give me your word, Timur, from father to father.

He will need your help to honor his name when I die.

Everything is in perfect balance.

As we see in nature,

The same thing happens with our souls.

SPIRITUAL ADVISOR OF TIMUR

"And he ascended into heaven

and established a balance that you must not transgress.

Do not transgress the balance,

but weigh everything fairly."

Your father always knew

that you were destined for great things.

I learned that his visions are coming true.

I am a trusted advisor who trusts no one

for a newly appointed leader

who doesn't know how to lead.

"To get what you love,

"You must be patient with what you hate."

Al-Ghazali?

Tughluq Kan sees something in you, just like all of us.

Even though your nearsighted teacher told you to stay closer to home.

It was a silly thing to do, as you can see.

Come, sit down.

You are a blessing to us.

Kazkhan's untimely death, your uncle's rebellion,

the conquest of Tughluq and now, Ilyas.

And perhaps, with you as an advisor,

He can restore peace.

Perhaps I can,

God willing.

"My great love,

Tughluq Khan appointed me chief advisor to his son, Ilyas.

I am aware of the promise I made to your family.

For now, Husayn will have to wait.

The Khan's faith in me compels me to guide his son.

I may be the only obstacle

between our people and the ambitions of Ilyas.

I'll send for you when it's safe."

Jasur, I didn't expect to see you here.

I arrived less than an hour ago.

I'm glad you came,

or the dinner wouldn't have been any fun.

Is your wife okay?

He is safe with his brother.

Thank you for the good news.

I don't know when I'll see her again since I'll be staying here.

I found out.

The Khan's own special mission.

Do people comment?

People are anxious.

I'm sure you realize that.

Your uncle caused a lot of concern.

These people suffered through their long and costly war.

Now they have dinner with Ilyas, hoping for peace.

And there's you.

You must feel everyone's eyes in the room on you and your bahadur.

What can these people expect from a man?

whose loyalty lies with Husayn?

How will you maintain peace?

I hope this simple merchant doesn't bother you, Amir Timur.

No way.

Your place is at the front. Come, join us.

We are grateful, of course, to my father, our khan,

the wise and merciful leader who worked tirelessly

to restore peace and unity in these lands.

And for bringing us Amir Timur,

nephew of a traitor of the Barlas.

Now, he is my main advisor.

That his wise advice and his position

protect us from their family ties and future discord.

Let us raise our glasses

by the great Amir Timur.

Do you want to say something?

I understand that the Barlas rebellion cost many lives.

Only those of the fools who faced the Khan.

Fools, no,

This tragedy consumed me day and night.

Yeah.

I am a Barlas, but I am not my uncle.

In these times of transition,

We must all unite in peace,

Once again, under a true and worthy khan.

I am dedicated to the service of Tughluq Khan

and his search for peace,

prosperity

and safety for everyone!

For the Khan!

For the Khan!

- For the Khan! - For the Khan!

Don't you feel well?

When my father told me your intentions,

I was glad to have your strength on my side, Timur.

But the integrity of your government cannot be guaranteed.

ignoring the ambitions of others.

And I'm not going to allow you

nor your wife's brother should interfere.

Ambassador!

Go find my wife.

You must eliminate the poison.

There's a secret passageway I use for smuggling in the city.

Use it.

Bring Timur here!

My horse is tied up outside the north wall.

¡Ve!

Go back to your wife's camp.

If you survive this, consider my debt paid.

East.

East.

Get up!

East.

It's like a newborn foal.

Leave him.

The Zoroastrian witch.

Look at that.

You're famous.

We searched you for knives and concealed weapons.

This is all we found.

I also play a little shatranj.

Am I your prisoner now?

You only see me as your enemy,

even after I saved you from dying in the desert.

After what they did to you in Samarkand.

And what do you know about that?

I know much more than you imagine.

It wasn't my honey that touched your lips that night.

Tughluq was quite bad, but his son...

There's no need to explain.

I've never seen anything like that fight

that you had with those Mongols from Jetteh.

That anger,

that passion,

It could be useful.

If I wanted, Timur, you would be dead.

Why would I trust you?

All the men in my camp are free to leave.

Stay.

Let it heal you.

Perhaps you'll discover that we share the same goal.

And what is it?

Justice.

I was looking for a worthy opponent.

Kay Khosrow?

- I thought you were dead. - Not as dead as you.

You didn't get very far.

What are you doing here?

Hadji's rebellion wasn't for me.

The Banu welcomed me.

They are good to me as long as I am useful to them.

Yes, definitely.

They're just thieves.

They are exiles like you and me.

They try to survive under the weight of the Mongols,

at all costs.

Damned Mongols.

I'm going to kill Ilyas for what he did.

You can barely walk.

You've been in bed for months,

poisoned with mad honey.

Luckily, Banu knows your secrets well.

Samarkand is ten days away on horseback.

When you get there,

If you arrive,

You can limp all the way to the gates

and kill Ilyas right there.

Why do you want to help me now?

Destination.

It brought us together.

Let's see why.

I'll make you a splint for your leg.

We got off on the wrong foot, you and I.

My name is Douglas.

Douglas' son.

But you, like everyone else, can call me James.

Your leader is a Persian purist.

I understand her,

But to the rest of you...

We fight for our own reasons,

even petty thieves like us.

But what about you,

great leader?

What are you fighting for?

You wouldn't understand.

Take what is yours,

Protect what is yours...

We all understand.

Everyone will pay for it.

Yeah.

I'm sure it is.

Timur the Lame.

Now I see why she spared your life.

Kay Khosrow,

when Hadji rebelled,

Why didn't you join us?

Your loyalty was to Tughluq.

My contempt for the Mongols is no secret,

especially after his actions against your father.

Are you now reviving the memory of my father?

It's not about the past, Timur.

It's about what he saw in you.

He foresaw that the end of Mongol rule was near.

I dreamed that I would become the new king

and would wield a flaming sword, defeating the Mongols.

And he was a fool.

A fool for defying the Mongols.

A fool for questioning Kazkhan.

And yet, you are in exile,

having been loyal to someone who never valued your loyalty.

Perhaps you should accept what your father saw.

You should be king.

We were banished because of his false prophecies.

My rejection

It's not due to cowardice.

I made a promise.

Whom?

A Kazkhan.

And, like him,

You chose the Mongols instead of your own people.

No.

Kazkhan chose me.

Kazkhan gave me another chance.

Kazkhan accepted my marriage to his granddaughter.

But, with Kazkhan's death,

The people did not elect Husayn, his heir.

It was your uncle who emerged as a symbol of freedom.

And look what happened to him.

He was not the leader we needed.

Yes, you do.

But, influenced by loyalty to your wife's grandfather,

a puppet king,

You ignored our suffering.

Now the responsibility falls back on you.

Can you really reject that forever?

I can.

And I will.

It's not about the crown, Timur.

It's about the man.

Force,

integrity,

justice.

My life is my own doing, not the result of false prophecies.

Kazkhan and Aljai are dead.

Now the only thing left for me to do is

It is to correct the injustices that Ilyas inflicted upon them.

And what better way to avenge your wife's death?

to fulfill the prophecy

that Ilyas and the Mongols fear so much?

You survived as a pawn your whole life.

The potential of a pawn is often underestimated.

I'll show you how a pawn can become something more.

He's not as agile as the others.

But persevere.

Your journey may seem dangerous.

But with strategic allies,

may survive longer than expected.

Did you finally come to drink with me?

Banu's crazy honey.

A single drop makes you feel alive.

And much more.

Okay, you know.

With a powerful escort,

It advances undetected.

A simple spark

You can change destinations.

This is how we brought the fight to Ilyas.

After overcoming all the challenges,

all the deceptions,

It can be exchanged for any piece of the board.

It resurfaces,

transformed,

no longer in anyone's shadow.

A king, perhaps.

A king?

Anything different today?

I don't think Mrs. Banu would like it if I skinned you alive.

Not after so much work.

That's a good reason for a good fight.

A worthy opponent.

It only took six months.

You're exaggerating, my Christian friend.

I thought you'd take longer.

in calling me "friend".

You're softening up.

I understand you better than you think.

My family fought alongside William Wallace.

The savage William Wallace.

You've heard of him, haven't you?

- Yes. The traitorous king too. - He was a great man.

He did what he had to do.

He tried to unite the clans,

But they loved trouble.

Always forgetting about ordinary people.

So I swore never to serve another king again.

This is now my home.

And I will fight anyone to defend my friends.

Even someone like you.

Or perhaps you're right,

Timur the Lame.

Maybe I'm softening up.

At last.

More than expected.

Yes. They offered almost no resistance.

Not bad.

Swords for the armory.

Bring that trunk here.

What do you do with them?

Before you left,

These men were on their way to Samarkand.

The same ones who would have let them die.

Do you want to join them?

I suggest you talk to Kay Khosrow about it.

He was looking for you.

Did you call me?

We captured a man

which can lead us to sources of black powder.

He's among the caravan out there.

Brave?

I owe my life to him.

And there's more.

Husayn is alive.

¿Husayn vive?

He is gathering strength,

avoiding Ilyas all this time.

- Where? - I know it must have shocked you.

Us too.

With Jasur's black powder, we can bring Ilyas to his knees.

Now is not the time to hesitate, Timur.

Husayn can unite us.

Why do you insist on being a pawn of mediocrities?

Didn't you learn anything?

If Husayn avoided the attack.

¡Aljai!

Do not underestimate the power of destiny.

As long as Husayn lives, my promise will stand.

It is stronger than any twist of fate.

Emir of Timur?

JORASÁN

OLD AFGHANISTAN

Who are they?

They look like ordinary travelers.

Go, warn the others.

¡Aljai!

Go. I'm fine.

East.

Bottoms.

Ilyas left. The jetteh are few.

we could offer resistance.

Which army?

The army you promised me!

It's foolish to underestimate the Mongols.

You can't even subdue your own Mongol wife, Husayn.

So many brilliant and tactical minds in one room.

SARAY KHANUM MONGOLIAN PRINCESS

What a shame that neither you nor your men

have noticed that the horsemen were entering your camp.

Praise be to Allah and the Great Blue Skies.

You are alive.

I am hard to kill.

Maybe, brother.

Perhaps that's the case.

Ven.

Now tell me, where have you been all these months?

Were you able to ride after being poisoned?

I never knew of anyone who survived crazy honey.

Saray, my husband is not just any man.

Ilyas must have sent his men to Khorasan

before you arrived in Samarkand.

Aljai was seriously injured. We barely escaped.

Husayn always knew how to hide.

I did more than that.

My father used to say that he was as slippery as a fish.

Slippery or not,

You saved my wife and my son.

You kept them safe,

even though you thought I was dead.

And I owe you one more time.

Ilyas must pay for what he did to this family.

Let us march to Samarkand now.

Tughluq is on his deathbed.

Ilyas left Samarkand and is traveling north

to be with her dying father.

To take his place as khan of Chagatai.

Let's go now,

The traitorous people of Samarkand will not be able to win.

The people of Samarkand need to be liberated, not conquered.

Timur, this is our chance.

With you by my side,

Imagine what we'll do to Ilyas.

Bikijuk maintains Samarkand with only a few hundred men.

We can use Samarkand against Ilyas's return.

Have you lost faith in me?

I just got you back.

And your heart is already on its way to Samarkand with Husayn.

He's right.

But, if you ask me,

I'll tell him to find someone else to march with him into battle.

My brother only sees opportunities,

It's always been like this.

His eyes are always searching the horizon

the opportunity for the next attack.

But the man I love...

It's different.

And the people of Samarkand need them both.

I'm more worried

for the needs of my wife and son.

Jahangir needs to know that his father is a great man

who fulfilled the promise he made to protect the route and his town.

What is this?

Now we both have Ilyas's marks.

I'm just grateful that Jahangir wasn't hurt.

I should have protected you.

No no.

You couldn't have known.

You'll never be safe. Not while Ilyas is alive.

Now is the time for Husayn to act.

He will succeed.

With you by his side, I have no doubt.

This brought you back to me once.

We have gathered strength over the past year

waiting for the opportune moment.

Perhaps you've forgotten to count.

My army of 100 men is stronger

than Ilyas's army of a thousand men.

I learned that you infiltrated the city several times.

What do you know about the defenses of Samarkand?

With your numbers, you're going to need a miracle.

Is the cause not just?

I cannot conjure angels with flaming swords

like my father's visions...

What's happening?

You play shatranj, right?

The Mongols outnumber us.

It's true.

But we don't need many people.

The Mongols who remain in Samarkand don't care that much.

that city, as if one were willing to sacrifice oneself for it.

What makes you so sure they will withdraw?

His will to fight comes from two things:

fear of the Khan

and the spoils of war.

What does that mean?

We'll make it look like the city is surrounded.

Torches.

In the distance.

Who is marching towards our city with so many men?

Bikijuk is not stupid.

He will not risk his own men,

especially against a superior force.

What's your plan?

Sirvo a Ilyas,

This fight is not worth its men.

Without Ilyas, who rules the city?

Abu Shihab.

Let's go.

Perfect, we need a coward to make this plan work.

Raise the flag.

We have to surrender.

All the nobles will bow

before the legitimate ruler of Samarkand.

Husayn.

When they wave the white flag of surrender...

We will lead Iskander and his men after the city

and they will crush Jetteh's forces as they try to escape.

Then the city will be ours.

When the people of Samarkand see

that we took the city without harming a single soul,

They will join us.

Only two actions remain:

send message

and prepare the trap.

Bikijuk.

Surprised to see me return from the dead?

No.

Because I didn't stab you with the sword.

Dile a Ilyas

I'm waiting for it.

And let him prepare to face my sword.

And what about me in all this?

You, my friend, will help us kill Ilyas.

The bloody reign of Ilyas and his puppet rulers

It has come to an end!

The day is yours, Husayn.

Samarkand will be free from tyranny

and those who turned against my family.

These men surrendered.

- They pose no danger. - No danger at all?

They conspired against us!

Not once, but twice!

They conspired against my grandfather in dark corners,

They conspired to bring you down.

If you let them live now,

They will come for you again and again.

My sense of honor will not blind me.

Do you want justice?

Or not?

My dear Timur,

The news of your victory in Samarkand reached the camp.

I am glad to see my brother on his rightful throne.

Now our biggest threat is Ilyas.

Is everything all right?

I'm going to be fine.

My wounds refuse to heal

and the fever weakens me.

I can't wait to recover at my home in Samarkand.

I'm not going to lie.

Like everyone else, I also thought you were dead.

But here you are,

the liberator of Samarkand.

I am half the man I was the last time you saw me.

Perhaps you're lame,

But you are still Timur, son of Taragai.

Nobody else could have done what you did today.

What we did today.

How is Husayn?

He has Samarkand.

Perhaps that's the case,

But killing should have a price.

To shed another man's blood

It may be justifiable, it may be worthwhile.

For Genghis Khan, it was undoubtedly worthwhile.

But it comes at a price.

It's seen in a man's eyes.

At least, you hope to see it.

Husayn may lose control.

He lost a lot.

And let the anger overcome it.

How long will he trust you?

We both want to see the Silk Road restored.

Don't let yourself be blinded by the individual

and ignore the context.

Don't worry, professor.

Soon everything will make sense.

Tughluq is dead.

Now, Ilyas is the khan and he will attack us soon.

The explorers confirmed that Ilyas comes from the north.

Your trap worked, Timur.

We're going to ride north to find him.

Jasur, we were waiting for you.

As you requested.

I'm glad to see you.

Chinese firepower.

How can I guarantee our men that this won't blow their heads off?

You don't guarantee it.

You're a man of faith, aren't you?

MUD BATTLE

What's worrying you?

The throne is finally yours.

- It was always mine! - And it always will be.

And the day after tomorrow,

Finally we will have peace.

Ilyas is only going to see a crippled and broken man

at the head of a small army of foot soldiers.

Black powder?

Will it be enough?

With Jasur's help, we will survive the first two waves.

After that, it all depends on you.

You trust this one too much...

dust.

No.

I trust you.

Tomorrow, when the Mongolian drummer gives the signal for the 3rd wave,

You will flank them from the hill.

And we're going to surround them.

First wave, go!

Wait!

Wait!

Join us!

Arrows!

Next wave!

Get ready!

Torches!

¡Muévanse!

Cannons!

Liquidate them!

That's the sign.

Under way!

Let's go!

Now, Husayn! Now!

Come on, brother! Now!

¡Amir!

Timur relied too much on gunpowder.

East!

¡Husayn!

Those guys down there are my men!

And they are trapped in the mud,

as will we.

Samarkand is defenseless.

Let's resist there, not here.

East.

East.

Get up!

East.

My love!

What happened?

What's wrong with him?

She has been ill for a long time.

His wounds are infected.

We belong to God

We will return to Him.

No, no, no. Don't talk like that.

Where is Husayn?

He preferred the throne to us.

He betrayed us.

- No. - He left us there to die.

I fear my brother does not understand the cost of his actions.

Listen to me.

You had already survived without me.

You have to be strong for our son.

Now it's time to do what needs to be done.

Restore order,

To give our son the world he deserves!

- Promise me that you'll... - Go get help.

Help!

- No, no, no. - I can't do this again.

I can't do it without you.

You have to do it.

Bottoms...

East!

Didn't your husband ask you to join him?

I won't go with him.

Not after what he did to you.

I will take my son far away from here.

I'm going to kill Ilyas with or without Husayn.

And then what?

After defeating Ilyas,

You and Husayn will be each other's only enemies.

What will become of you two?

Husayn spared no effort to secure the throne,

But you lost everything.

Timur, think about it.

Who knocked down the first piece, huh?

Ilyas? Tughluq? Hadji?

Husayn killed his own grandfather!

No.

He started the game you're playing.

and that it cost you everything.

And he is seated on the throne.

You stared at Ilyas for so long

that you were blind to the ambitions of your loved ones.

He will never stop, Timur.

Do you really think that, in the end, he will let you live?

And didn't you promise Aljai that you would protect your son?

If I don't come back, take care of my son for me.

East...

East...

It's your turn.

A Barlas dagger.

They made her seem like she was part of our clan.

My sense of honor will not blind me.

We're running out of time.

The walls will fall before the end of the day!

Throughout this entire city,

Are there no men willing to fight for us?

Do you think they would fight for you?

In his eyes, you are no different from Ilyas.

He's right.

Praise be to Allah!

You're alive!

The bond that once united us has been broken.

Now...

That...

Will it be us?

There is no one left to dispute my legitimate right.

We made sure of that.

I stopped at nothing to ensure this claim

by birth, by marriage,

by...

everything I had to do.

I had to do it.

Brother...

Was it you?

My grandfather became too weak to handle the power.

Those nobles supported Hadji!

- Instead of...! - Was it you?

It was me.

I did what I had to do!

Do you think I found it easy?

Wasn't that what we both wanted?

Let's finish this together.

Let's make every sacrifice, every agreement

worth the blood spilled.

Now...

Now all that remains is

Elijah.

I swear, brother, this is the last time.

I know.

It took me many years to understand this truth, my son:

Men crave power,

often without caring about the souls trampled by their ambitions.

That's why I resisted what others said was my destiny.

But destiny is not a path we choose.

They choose him for us.

Our only task is to have the courage to surrender to him.

Surrender...

By accepting my destiny,

I do it to pave a path for you,

my dear Jahangir,

a world transformed by sacrifice.

So, the rumors are true.

A disabled man enters our camp,

a shadow of what it once was,

offering his brother's surrender.

I guess this...

Was it meant for me?

Are you finally challenging me to a game?

while we discuss your brother's surrender?

They may leave.

Let's pick up the game where I left off.

It's your turn.

Dime...

What were you afraid of?

You should feel flattered.

A threat worthy of my attention.

You and I could have worked together,

reconstructed the Silk Road.

What you never understood, Timur, is...

what it really takes to govern,

to build,

to conquer,

to take what belongs to you.

You say you're fighting for my great-grandfather's vision,

But you don't have their strength,

his temper, his guts.

- And you? - I have his blood!

Are you coming to my camp alone?

Speaking of joining forces, of uniting this miserable people?

I came to bring you justice.

Justice?

A gesture of my hand,

Do you understand?

- And my guards are going... - He gives the order.

Perhaps you have deceived my father,

But I'm not so easily fooled.

Who do you think you are?

You're not a Khan.

You'll never be a Khan.

I was one step ahead...

of your every move.

I saw what your brother did to you on the battlefield.

You should be grateful that, after I kill you,

I will go and seek revenge...

that you are clearly too blind and weak to understand.

Yeah.

I'm just a man who lost his queen.

And you expect him to quit the game.

But I am not you.

Aljai warned me not to trust you.

I should have listened to him.

Let's finish this game.

We were waiting for you.

Has the time come?

Shatranj.

It's a beautiful game with a long history.

It passed through many hands.

The pieces kept changing.

And the rules were rewritten. Give me ten of your best men.

I never knew of anyone who survived crazy honey.

The pawn can move twice as fast at the beginning of the game.

It wasn't my honey that touched your lips that night.

And the horses became knights.

Guards!

And when the pawn reaches the end of the board...

And go as far as possible...

Guards!

That pawn can be exchanged for any piece you want.

As if he had never been lost.

As?

When I give the signal, open the gates.

It's simple, Ilyas.

Open the gates!

I learned to play your game.

I should have seen Husayn for the man he is.

A man like you,

who calls himself a leader...

But it destroys everything and builds nothing.

You don't have what it takes

to govern, build, and conquer.

I have a plan.

A plan to build a better world.

East!

Timur defeated the Golden Horde after years of war.

AND HE PUT AN END TO THE MONGOL EMPIRE.

Have they already chosen?

Yeah.

Muhammad Ali.

Get up!

Your men chose you as their leader.

Follow my steps and justice will prevail.

Forgive all who swear loyalty.

Mata to the rest.

Timur restored stability to the Silk Road and to his people.

AND CREATED THE LAST GREAT NOMADIC EMPIRE,

WHICH EXTENDED FROM PRESENT-DAY Türkiye TO NORTHERN INDIA.

HIS DYNASTY LASTED 137 YEARS AND GAVE RISE TO THE TIMURI RENAISSANCE,

A PERIOD OF ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS, ASTRONOMY, AND ART

WHICH PRECED AND COMPETED WITH THE RENAISSANCE IN EUROPE.
