Time to rest, darling. Let's put this away.

Shhhh, Hide, Hide.

Maksim.

Yes, mother.

I have a gift for you.

Wow!

It's just like the one that Ivan has.

Do you like it? -I do.

This is the symbol of our family.

Go and learn from your father. Become a great hunter.

And catch me some dinner.

What are you so happy about? I let you win.

I know.

Petro.

Petro.

What do you think of this one?

Fine quality, ehh?

Sharp. Strong.

Yes, great.

Yes.

We will go hunting after the festival.

Right, next time.

Yes.

Not only are they killing my sheep,

My horse stables were burnt to the ground.

This lawlessmess can not continue.

Tugar Volk...

must leave our lands.

I can not exile Tugar Volk

without calling him to our council meeting

and hearing what he has to say.

He will never show.

He thinks he's above us.

I know that you and he are not from Tukhlia,

but you fought alongside this man in Kolka.

Why can you not get through to him?

That was a long time ago.

He is not the same man he was back then.

Maksim.

Yes father?

Tugar Volk needs a guide to help him hunt a bear

that has seen near his estates.

You will lead the hunt and use it to ask him to come to our next town meeting.

Do it in a way that he agrees to come.

But, father, I am not the most appropriate person for this job.

-Why not send Ivan? -He speaks better than I.

Then it is settled.

You will ride in the morning.

People say that Tugar Volk's daughter is beautiful.

If she's anything like his father, she probably has a face that will scare away the wolves.

Then the two of you will make a perfect match for each other.

Ivan!

You talk too much.

You will be going with him.

Guess we get to see for ourselves.

Are you going to ask him?

Are you going to ask him?

Farther rasked you with this job.

This is strange.

They won't recognize your rule but they're willing you to take you on a hunt?

There's no unity. No unity amongst us anymore.

I'll teach you how a true commander leads.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Think it's best we go on foot from here.

If we encounter a beast, it might startle the horses.

Look.

-On the log. -Bear marks.

Tell the men.

This Way.

A face that will scare away the wolves Ehhh?

Go! I'll goet the others.

You'r all right?

Yes.

What's your name?

Maksim.

And you?

Myroslava.

You're the guide helping my father?

I'm actually here to help my father.

We need Tugar Volk to come to our town meeting.

In Tukhlia.

Tukhlia?

Maksim?

Everything's all right, Ivan.

-You first. -No. I insist.

Maksim.

Thank you.

Myro! Myroslava!

Where's my daughter?

Myro!

I'm okay, I'm fine.

Take your hands off her.

Please help him.

Hah, Ah-Ah, Leave him. Come on, Let's go. Hunt's over.

If it wasn't for Maksim I'd be dead.

-Who? -Him.

His name's Maksim.

Maksim?

And what does Maksim want for a reward?

-I didn't do it for any reward, sir. -Okay.

-Let's go home. -Wait, he does want something.

Of course he does. What do you want?

I ask you, as a man, as a warrior,

Come to Tukhlia far village meeting under the next full moon.

Locals would like to address their concerns.

Why would I come to a commoners gathering?

We're free people just like you.

If you think you and your men are in the right, then come and prove it.

There's no need to hide.

I don't have time for you, you insolent little bastard.

Father!

I'll come to your peaseants meeting,

because I choose to.

Now.

The hunt is over. Home.

Sometimes I think God gave me a son.

Gard.

Seems like a lot of trouble just to impress a girl.

but well done.

Where in God's name do you think you're going, young lady?

I wanted to pick some berries.

We have servants to do that.

I wanted to pick them myself.

Absoutely not.

You never let me go anywhere.

I've never even been to Tukhlia, I think they call it.

Those people aren't what you make them out.

Myro.

Those people are fighting me for our lands.

They give me no respect.

And if you turn your back on these people,

-They'll stick a knife in it. "Then why did one of them save me?"

No daughter of mine will be picking berries!

Now, you find yourselt another leisurely activity!

To bed, young lady

To bed.

I love you

No no no no! It's me, Maksim!

I'm sorry, Myroslava.

Are you out of your mind? My hear just leaped out of my chest!

I didn't know how else to get past your servants.

Get down.

Sorry, there was no other way in.

-Myro! Are you all right, What happened? Nothing!

-I saw a rat! -Well, Openthe door, the guards will take care of it.

No, no, no, it's gone now! I'm going to bed! Goodnight!

-Are you sure you'r okay? -Yes, I'm sure!

-Goodnight. -Goodnight!

-What are you doing here? -I came to invite you to the festivities.

Tonight.

-Festivities? -Yes.

It's a great celebration for Perun. It's the biggest festival we have.

There'll be singing and dancing

and lots of barley sprit and delicious food.

And there's this massive fire that...

You have to see it to believe it, but you can see it from all the way across the valley.

You foolishly snuck into my room to invite me to this?.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I'm sorry to bother you.

This dress okay?

Yes.

Now lose the blade.

Okay.

Okay?, as in you'll come?

How do you expect to get us out of here without my father seeing us?

Mother father. This is Myroslava.

-Myroslava, this is my mother, Rada. -Pleased to meet you.

And you.

- You're very welcome here. -Thank you.

-And this is my father, Zakhar. -Very pleased to meet you.

Your son saved my life earliear.

Well we have three things to thank the gods for:

Maksim's heroics, the food we feast on

-and your life. -She killed the bear.

-And this is uncle Korhun right here. -It is a pleasure.

She's very beautiful.

Yes, she is very beautiful, Uncle Korhun. Just like you, yes.

Why don't you get some moew honey spirit?

Yes, Honey spirit! Where have they put it?

My brother's around here somewhere. Do you have siblings?

I wish I did.

look, there he is.

I remember seeing him at the bear hunt.

He roughes me at times but he means well.

I don't know what I would do without him, to be honest.

This reminds me of a party my father threw for my mother when I was little.

Everyone was singing and dancing.

My parents must have danced all night.

My mother had this white gown on and flowers in her hair.

What happened to her?

I'm sorry.

No, No, it;s all right. I didn't mean to make anything uncomfortable.

And did you??

Did I what?

Learn to dance.

Come on.

Look.

-Are you enjoying the evening? -Very much.

Be kind to my boy.

It's beautiful.

Those are gifts to our guardian.

The Sentinel Rock, see?

-It's actually a giant that protects our valley. -A giant?

-That's what the legend says. -What's the legend?

Well, long ago,

When kind and wise giants roamed these lands,

The goddess of death, Morana, cursed it.

She made everything in the water die

and the whole area around it completely lifeless.

No animals, no trees...

Just bare rocks.

And the mighty king of giants, saw this,

And he took his huge mallet and dealth the rocky basin

a massive blow that cracked its walls and broke the evil spell.

And the whole area came alive at once.

Needless to say, Morana was furious.

And she let out this piercing scream

and turned the king of giants into stone.

But, no matter how hard she tried or what she did,

She could never reverse all the beautiful life that had blossomed.

That's my ancestors chose to live here.

I can envisage it.

And if Morana should ever return,

Well, the king would awaken from his slumber

and protect us from her evil wraith once again.

You have so much love for this place.

I can see why.

I have to get back.

You can eat for days.

- Eat the bread before it goes stale. - I will.

It was good to see you, Uncle Korhun.

Safe travels back to your village. Good luck with your sister.

You know how she likes to talk on these journeys.

I heard that.

Don't worry.

I have plenty of honey spirit to soothe my ears.

Good. To see all of you!

Oosta. Have you seen Maksim?

Here he comes now.

-Mother, I'm sorry that I'm late. -I take it you had a good night.

-Buchon, say goodbye to your mother.

Goodbye my love.

-Send along my greetings.

-Take care of your brother. -I will.

Travel safe.

I'll see you soon.

Goodbye.

Yeah?

What, what?

Oh yeah, yeah. Hunt. Yes, yes, yes we'll go.

We'll go. Yeah.

Yes.

No, I'm not hungry.

Its busy.

Busy.

Yes, busy entertaining a new lady.

There's nothing there. Come on.

Oosta, Oosta! Stop! What are you doing? It's me, Maksim.

It's all right.

-Maksim. -Yes, it's me.

-It's all right. -You're all right. You're safe.

What happened?

Demons.

Demons on horses.

What do you mean demons? What happened to the others?

When we arrived to Korhun's village,

They burnt it to the ground. There's nothing left.

I barely escaped

And I didn't see what happened to your mother or your son. I'm sorry.

Do you think you can make it back to Tukhlia?

Go. Findand our father and tell him what you told us, understand?

Go. Now

Go.

Uncle Korhun!

Ivan!

Your mother.

Rosanna.

-They tok.... -Who? Who took them?

No. There's no time to bury the bodies.

The gods will understand.

-What are we waiting for? -Be patient.

There are two guards patrolling the perimeter. We'll go in from the east.

Blades only.

Quickly and quitely.

Go on. Take your pick.

Who's gonna die? You? Me?

Me next, huh? Me next.

Don't be scared. I've already died before. You only get to it once or twice.

It's you, it's you.

Oh, you beat me. You won, you won. Well done. Nice one

Go on, little man. Hurry up Let's go.

Leave them alone.

-Rosanna, protect the others. -It's your turn!

-Don't touch me! -No!

-Rada! Stop, please, please! -Shut up.

Please!

-Shut up! -We didn't do anything!

Maksim, you go after Mother.

Petro and I will help the others.

Go.

Come on.

Come here.

Come.

Oi, I'll give you a challenge! Huh?

I wanna tell you something.

Huh, Do you like a challenge?

All you mongrels have tried to kill me and you've all failed.

You could be the one. You could be lucky.

Hurry, Petro.

Come on, take a challenge! Kill me first!

Kill me!

Do it! Come on!

It's weak to kill a woman first! It's weak!

Be a man!

Go with Petro and get them all to safety.

Go.

Take it! Take it!

Take it! Take it!

Go on! Do it!

-Mother. Don't worry, we're here. -Come on, help me.

Come on, give me a hand. come on.

-You're good? -Come on, get me.

-Thank you. -Here, huh. Here! Come on!

No!

-Mother, are you all right? -You need to get the others.

-Come on! -We already done it, they are with Petro.

-You took your time. Come on. -Shut up!

Maksim.

Go!

-Let me see. -No!

We don't any time, we need to go.

Take mother back the way we came. I will buy you some time. Go.

-Meet us in the caves. -Go.

-I'm with you.

We're almost there.

Keep going.

Go be with my family. I'll be right behind you.

Hey, Let's go!

What are you doing?

I'm gonna get me some Mongols.

What do you mean? get you some mongols. There are too many of them. It's suicide.

I... Don't... Care.

This is unfinished business.

If you go out there, you compromise everyone in this cave.

-Why should that stop me?. -Please.

Maksim, hurry, it's your mother. Come.

Maksim.

What happened?

I can't stop the bleeding.

When we arrived he was already dead.

Sorry,

my Khan.

Leave me.

Do you smell that?

The stench of pagan swine.

People of Tukhlia,

I have come here today, NOT...

because you called me.

I have come here,

-for my own accord. - Nevertheless, we appreciate your arrival.

I'd say, It's good to see you, Zakhar,

but we both know that it would be a lie.

Yes, it would be.

Look here, this is the deed

that appoints me your leader.

and therefore of all these lands.

Do you believe that parchment makes us respect you?

You are forcing us into an agreement that we had no say in.

Do younot think it's wrong that, without asking your permission,

I take that sword of yours and give it to my sons?

The Mongol army is bearing down on us.

I'm here

to protect your people

in a way that you could not protect your own wife.

I'll leave you to your own fate.

and to the Mongol hordes.

-Let's go. -Let the gods decide.

If you win,

you can stay in Tukhlia and we will follow your rule.

You'll follow my rule.

But also...

your sons...

your sons will serve in my house.

But when we win,

you will go to Gallich to gather your men

to fight shoulder to shoulder with us

against the Mongols, as equals.

Agreed?

Agreed.

Gard!

Father, I know you want to choose Ivan, but please pick me.

-Are you sure about this? -Let the gods decide.

Stay low. Use his size against him.

It's settled then.

Nothing is settled.

I have spilt blood throught these in over 20 battles.

And you think I am going to honour a commoner's agreement?

The warrior I once knew would not date to lose his honour.

Are you a liar?

And a coward?

The warrior that I knew wouldn't have been scrathing the dirt and shit spend the day cleaning shit

like some farmer!

I'll bring your army from Gallich

and we will fight shoulder to shoulder.

If you still can, old man.

Get up!

Thank you.

Gather supplies!

And you'll not thieve from all my lands!

It wasn't as impressive as defeating a bear

but you didn't have my help.

-You've been here the entire time. -Yes.

I heard about your mother.

I'm so sorry.

I'm grateful you got to meet her.

Your mother was like mine.

Kind

and sweet.

Bring me the horse!

I should go before my father sees me.

I will see you soon.

For all we know,

the safest path in the west is here or here.

We are short of supplies and reinforcements.

The mountainous area is difficult

to cross for us.

However,

if we cross the valley, we will not find resistance.

We believe that the amulet proceeds

from one of the towns

from the mountainside.

We will cross...

the mountains.

-Merke. -Yes, my Khan.

Recruit your men.

Register those towns.

Find the one responsible.

Tugar Volk.

-What happened? -The Mongols are approaching.

Tugar Volk and Myroslava are resisting, but they don't have long.

-How many? -About twenty. Maybe less.

-Myroslava. -Get your brother and go.

Where is everyone?

They were here when I left. They must be inside.

-Ivan! There's toooo many! -Go to the house!

Inside, quickly!, quickly!

To the house!

Bohun, stop! Calm down!

Find cover! Maksim get yourself to the windows!

At least we got comfortable benches to de on then.

Listen to me!

You are warriors! And you have proven yourselves!

But you have taken the life of the Khan's only son!

He will never stop...

until you'r dead.

Sacrifice yourselves...

and you will save your families.

I beg you. This is futile.

And I swear to you...

I will protect the people of Tukhlia.

Meet your death, traitor!

Burn them.

They're gonna smoke us out.

Hey,the wind is in our favor. We use the smoke as cover and attack them straight on.

Maksim's right.

Get ready.

-What are you doing? Your one of us! -I am not one of you, peasants.

Die bastard!

Stop! That's enough

For, you and your men are Tukhlian. Fight beside us.

Maksim.

Maksim!

Are you hurt?

Hey!, your ax.

Come on.

Maksim, no!

My special arrows.

Go for those men! Kill them!

Get them.

Take the archers.

-Bring the heads of those assassins. -Yes, my Khan.

Follow me!

Shoot!

Halt!

We have killed most of them, my Khan.

And the two brothers?

I will bring my entire army to the top of the Carpathian Mountains.

I will burn everything that is valuable to you.

You will guide me.

So maybe it won't end your miserable life.

My child.

Tugar Volk is allied with the Mongols.

-They won't be far behind. -Ivan!

Quick! Bring him into the house.

He's been struck by some kind of poison.

Rosanna, Bochan.

Petro, Rosanna, Bochan. Go, go go!

My wife.

I'm so sorry, my son.

It's all right, father.

The gods welcome me.

It's been an honor, little brother.

Live your life.

It's your time.

What happened?

Ivan.

No, no.

It's all right, my love.

-It's all right. -I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm not leaving

-Please. -I promise...

I will see you again...

in the next world.

Bochan.

Don't cry, my son.

Don't Cry.

Be strong.

Protect your mother and our family.

Nothing is more important.

It's all right.

I'll always be watching over you.

-Maksim, wait. -How?!

How could you live your entire life and not know what your father truely is ?

How am I supposed to trust you?

Years ago, there was a man who came to our house in Gallich.

He scared my father in a way, I'd never seen before.

I couldn't understand it at the time, but today,

When I smelt his horrid stench in my home. I knew

I knew it was him.

Burunda Khan.

Our mothers deserve more.

My brother would have wanted you to have this.

He was a man of honor.

I don't want what happened to my family to happen to yours.

You have done enough.

Your family needs you. Go home.

Home?

I don't have a home.

My beautiful wife

and my seven year old daughter,

are already dining with the gods.

So before I join my family,

I will make this right.

We will make this right.

My dear fellow villagers

and respected neighbors.

There is very little time,

our scouts have confirmed

that the entire Mongol army rides towards us.

They won't stop until they have murdered every last one of us.

They outnumber us by the thousands!

We have to run!

This is the only way we can survive.

Even if we left right now, their horses would catch up to us.

And then what?

I have a possible solution.

We can take everything

and leave Tukhlia through the back side of the mountain.

And once we have all passed through,

we will tear down the Sentinel Rock

break the dam

and create a river barrier between us and the Mongols.

And how will we create enough time? Their already too close.

A group of us will hold them off.

The entrance to Tukhlia is narrow.

If we gather all of our fighters at this main point,

we can hold off the entire mongol army

and make time for the rest of you to escape.

Now you must choose.

Abandon the person next to you and save only yourself

or do we unite as one and protect each other

and fight for something meaningful.

-We fight! -We fight!

We fight!

-We fight! -We fight!

-We fight! -We fight!

I never did thank you.

For what?

Saving my life.

The second time.

I don't believe you thanked me for the first.

That's true.

Thank you.

Myro,

From the moment I first saw you...

It is a privilege to dying honorably.

And if we are to die today, we die like warriors.

-I would gladly die for you. -Yes!

On my command!

Pull!

Tear those assassins apart!

Take position!

Shoot!

Withdraw!

Bohun. Bohun!

-Did we win yet? -You're good?

I thought you were dead. You didn't think those little mongels could have hurt me?

My Khan!

Each villager fights with the energy of ten.

We must modify the plan and withdraw from the mountain.

Here.

Take command.

I want to destroy that town before dark.

-We...We're ready. -Tell the others.

We'll prepare the dam.

The last villager has left Tukhlia! We are ready!

Maksim!

Go!, Go!

Take her. Go.

Go.

Please, Go!

Destroy the dam.

All right. Gather yourselves boys.

For Maksim!

I will find your loved ones

and you will see me butcher them as if they were cattle.

And so,

you and I will share the same pain.

Merke,

Burn it all!

Take my personal guard and go ahead.

Find out how many villagers are left.

Pull!

Pull!

Don't let those villagers pull down that rock.

Kill them!

Pull!

Pull!

I'll be back.

The rock! Go!

Come!

YOU DID THIS!

Wait!

Above.

Zakhar!

You want safe passage.

I will spare your son.

Myroslava, hand me your bow.

Kill him!

Father!

-Father. -Son, I knew...

-you would make it. -Save your breath.

Our people are safe.

Your mother would be so proud of you.

I am, as well.

Myroslava,

Look after my son.

Mother and Ivan are waiting for you.
