KINGDOM KINGDOM
The pastor you sent to find your wife, is dead.
Do you hear me?
When I was 9 years old...
... my father took me to the Merkit clan to find a mate...
He has stolen my mother from a Merkit person...
... and they won't forget it.
Now he must reconcile with them...
... so I can take brides from Merkit people...
I can't refuse it.
This is where my friend Dai-Sechen lives.
Let's stop here one night Welcome, my friend Esugei!
Nice to meet you!
Your child is big! Let's enter.
What's your name?
Temujin.
I should have asked first.
How old are you?
Nine.
You're younger than me.
How many years?
About one year.
Why did you come here?
I'll go to Merkit to find my bride.
I stayed here one night.
Wise people come here to choose brides.
Goodbye, Temujin.
Wait! What is your name?
Borte. Temujin!
You have to choose me!
Let's wrestle Targutai!
His face must be flat like salt lake.
His eyes must be slanted.
The demon spirit lives in big eyes...
... and the woman becomes evil...
... He won't see what's real.
And most importantly,
don't forget to see their feet.
Strong women's feet
will make men happy, understand?
Understand?
- You will be my bride.
I agree.
I have determined my bride.
I will give the weasel coat for him.
Your son made the right choice, Esugei.
To be sure, he saves our time.
We can leave now.
You're right.
This is an honor for our clan.
They can get married five years later.
This is white crow bone.
If you rub it then all your hopes will come true.
I'll be back in five years.
Why don't you want to listen to me?
You're stubborn.
I see it and I know...
that he is my bride.
What should I say to a Merkit person?
My head hurts thinking about this.
They won't forgive me for this.
We go home.
My father doesn't speak.
Finally he told me that:
"You have done the right thing"
A man must choose his own bride.
I don't know that today...
... will change my life forever.
Are You Afraid?
Yes.
When there is lightning, it means that
... Dewa Tengri is angry.
That's why all Mongols _ are afraid of lightning.
Enemies.
Then why?
Blood cannot be spilled in a resting place.
Please accept this milk from my lord.
Thank you. Sit down
Thank you.
Esugei, let the waiter drink first.
Look at the way they look at us.
They are our enemies.
But if I'm Khan Esugei, violates custom...
... the world will be chaotic.
Are you sick, Esugei?
Let's stop.
Shut up! You didn't decide.
They have poisoned our Khan.
Little bastard!
I'll leave you, kid.
You will be Khan now.
Be Strong...
... And pray to our God, the ruler of the blue sky, Dewa Tengri...
... to help you.
Take everything!
Don't be brave!
As Esugei said:
Never violate custom even if you really want to break it.
I will kill him when he is older.
He will soon grow up.
We will come to him in the winter.
Someday...
... You have to kill him.
But, save yourself first.
In the winter, I don't have a place to hide.
I go to the sacred mountain to
asking our Tengri god to help me.
I'm alone.
The mountain is very far away.
And I ran for my life.
Hey!
I'm Jamukha.
What's your name?
My name is Temujin.
A Mongol must be on a horse.
My enemy, Targutai, took all of our horses.
You helped me, Jamukha.
Will you be my brother?
Taichar, give me a cloth.
We are blood relatives now.
If I become a Khan, I will make you the second person at the leadership.
Jamukha...
first, I have to kill my enemy, Targutai.
How can it be? you don't have a horse.
My bride has strong legs.
Who cares about feet?
My father says it makes a man happy.
You need a horse more than a woman.
Run away!
Targutai!
Tell people that I don't want to be Khan.
You are a dog.
No one cares about you anymore.
Why do you still want to kill me?
I will sleep better.
I will kill you!
I will kill you first.
Bastard!
You have to be strong.
Eat!
Drink.
This fly... sucks your blood.
Temujin!
Your family is safe.
Don't worry.
Jamukha! Find my bride.
Tell him to wait for me.
He is still small.
Give him to eat again.
When I return,
I want him to be big.
Dewa Tengri, ruler of the blue sky!
I bow before you.
Release me, Dewa Tengri!
No matter how far the wolf runs,
he will go home one day.
Temujin.
I have been waiting for you.
I am Khan now.
I'm smarter than your father.
He is a fool.
Do you call yourself Khan?
Bullshit is always bullshit.
I will not only kill you.
I'll cut you piece by piece.
Did you see that wooden donkey?
I'll take you there.
That will make you die slowly in a week.
Come close here, old man.
You scared me.
If I'm not dead...
... I will forgive you all.
You won't forgive us all.
Come here.
Give me water.
You're a fool.
Shut up!
I'll show who is stupid.
Don't move!
I'm Temujin.
I'm Boorchu.
Why did you help me?
I know who you are. Bring my horse.
I won't forget your kindness, Boorchu.
Dewa Tengri looked after me and I survived.
I'm ready to face my enemy and take back mine.
But first I will find my bride, Borte.
I thought you were dead.
no, I'm not dead yet.
You know why I came.
You chose him years ago.
I don't know...
does Borte still want you.
My friend has returned.
Father...
... I have to go with Temujin.
Bring an sable coat. Fast!
Don't you want to touch me, Temujin?
I'm afraid of destroying you.
My son...
Temujin.
I like you.
You're strong, like me.
You're good.
This is my dowry, take it.
For me...
This is too much.
This is for you.
Brother, when will you build your tent?
Tomorrow.
It's nice that my brother is back again.
And with a beautiful wife.
I got you.
because I want it.
I will be a good wife.
I know.
Stay here!
0un!
Chiledu?
Do you remember my voice?
A woman never forgets for her first husband!
Get off! I want to see your face.
Why do I want to see you, old lady?
I want Temujin's bride!
Get out of here! Leave us!
They are not here!
Leave!
Shut up!
Rude, watch out!
Where are they?
Speak!
I found their tracks.
Come on!
Temujin, I'm waiting for you a long time.
I rubbed this bone repeatedly.
I only have one request...
so you will come back.
I want to be with you, Temujin.
I promise.
Merkit people.
Go home!
When Temujin's father...
steal my bride...
... I swear to revenge.
You're mine now.
Take him!
My child.
Brother.
What have they done to you?
How are you, Jamukha, brother!
I'm glad you're still alive, brother.
Take this gift, brother.
When I heard that Merkit people have stolen your wife,
my heart hurts.
I want to talk to you.
Mongols don't fight only because of women.
I will tell Taichar now, he will bring you two new wives.
I want to Borte back.
Temujin, have you ever tried a woman other than him?
And do you think that he's the only one who has strong legs?
I don't have much time.
I introduce him!
Taichar...
... Merkit people have insulted my brother.
How many soldiers can you bring?
I have a sword and several people.
That's not enough, brother.
That's why I came to you.
Okay, I'll help you.
Next year.
it's too late.
Next year it will be better to fight.
We will wait.
Don't tell anyone that we are fighting just because of a woman.
This is the Merkit region.
Who are you?
I know you will come for me.
Borte, I can't stay farther than you.
This is my child.
I know.
Are you happy to get your wife again?
I will not sleep with a woman.
You're brave.
Very brave!
I want to say thank you, brother.
You will stay with me now.
I'm used to being my own master.
You don't know Mongols.
You won't survive alone.
You will be the second person in my leadership.
Temujin, people are waiting for you.
I have to go now Leave!
Temujin, I gave you the best sword.
Jamukha took most of her booty.
Tell us how to divide the remaining items.
I will take a tenth part.
Share the rest with the soldiers.
Don't forget the soldier's family who died.
- This is for you.
- Thank you, Temujin.
Listen, everybody! Temujin has been generous to us!
Everyone will get a share!
Look at him!
He gave away all the loot.
Next time he will take everything.
He planted the seed a Merkit child in his tent.
Don't speak ill of my brother.
What does a brother mean to you? I'm your brother!
You can't cook two sheep in one pan...
... Temujin.
Wake up!
My brother left me.
He is stubborn!
Wake up!
Daritai!
Altan!
Daritai!
Taichar!
Where is Daritai?
Where is Altan?
I will tear your rotten heart out.
Just try it!
My heart...
... have a new master now.
I can't return them to you, brother.
Mongols have the right to vote.
Keep watching your horse. I will take it back.
Daritai! The thief has stolen Temujin's horse!
The Jamukhas try to steal your horse.
We killed one of them.
Only one thief!
We killed Jamukha's brother...
Taichar.
Who killed him?
me.
I don't recognize it.
You saved a horse,
but you send war to us.
Forgive me, my lord.
Send my head to Jamukha.
He keeps your flock well.
If you submit it, what will the people say?
I have heard your sadness, Jamukha.
I will help you to get revenge.
I want to tie Temujin's head on my horse's tail.
Do it!
Without you,
I can't do it.
Are you afraid of Targutai?
What kind of Khan are you?
There are only two strong Mongols in the meadow.
I...
... and my brother, Temujin.
Understand?
I will bring all the horses. Leave Temujin to me!
Temujin, Jamukha chasing you
- They are ten times our number.
- Tell us what to do.
I won't leave our family.
If we can survive we will repay them,
we have no other choice.
Altan, Daritai, you entrust your family to me.
Jamukha will show them without mercy.
Are you ready to leave them?
You decide, Temujin.
Temujin.
Leave us alone.
Save yourself!
Do what always Mongols do.
Everyone will understand.
I don't want to know that.
Go to the mountains, fast!
Let's move, Jamukha! What are you waiting for?
Why do you have to hurry, Targutai?
Temujin will run away. We will never find it!
You don't understand my brother.
- Are you ready? - Ready, Temujin.
Crude!
Put enough people to protect our families!
Temujin, we are still with you.
It's time to go.
Take care of yourself and our child.
Hang in there, Temujin.
Don't forget us.
Do you see how smart my brother is?
This will not be easy to catch.
Attack!
I want Temujin alive!
Me too!
You promised, he is mine!
Everything here is mine, Targutai.
And you are mine too.
You just shut up.
At least forgive me.
Do you want to die, Temujin?
I'm not a beggar, brother.
Ask forgiveness for me, for your life.
I can't.
Please.
I'm sorry, brother!
I'm not your brother.
I am your Khan now.
And you are my slave.
Bring him!
Wait!
I can't continue.
I'm sorry, I lost the war.
You fight well.
You saved our family.
Now the Mongols will know you, Temujin.
Wake up!
Road! Push!
My life will end...
How are you, chief of forces?
Stop here.
Do you want to buy slaves?
How much is it?
A bunch of tangles.
That one is two Tanguts.
And this one is priced...
five!
Too expensive. Just three.
It can't be lower.
This one has killed my best guard.
Don't buy that one. He will bring regret to us.
What regrets can be taken by a slave? We have thousands.
He will never forgive insult, let him go.
Talk to the stupid, old monk.
He is a slave, and will die as a slave.
I saw a mob Mongolian horsemen...
... damaging your country, death...
Hey, Mongols!
Do you want to destroy my kingdom?
I know what must be done to him.
I haven't been paid for months.
Listen.
Let's sell the animal!
Who wants to buy it?
Hey, Mongols! Show your teeth to us!
"M0NG0L PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE KINGDOM KING"
Forgive us!
Mongols die in cages.
I'm still alive.
Your spirit is great.
I'm here to ask you...
When terrible time arrives,
don't destroy our monastery.
Kill the guards tonight...
... and bring me the key.
My trust forbidding me to kill.
My trust is not.
Monasteries have many holy books.
They must be saved.
I can't read.
Go to a merchant who trades with the Mongols.
Ask them to find the Temujin clan and give this bone to Borte.
Remember... Borte.
Alright, I'll do it.
In Mongolia, everyone can be robbed.
Among our traders, only happens to those who wear gold earrings.
But he is a robber himself.
Nobody knows when he comes
or when he left.
Nobody can help you, old monk.
Juchi. Juchi!
We have to leave.
I know how to bury a monk.
- What are you waiting for?
- last caravan.
This is the last caravan...
and I will not return as soon as possible.
Bring us with you now!
It's a long journey.
I see you don't have enough money.
- How will you pay?
- You know how I will pay.
- This is not enough.
- We have agreed.
He asked for more
Or he will rebuke me.
I don't have it anymore.
You don't look like a poor woman.
I want to talk.
Don't try to upset me!
Give me the key!
what's the name?
Mongen.
I'm your father, Mongen.
Where is my other father?
- Forget about him,
this is your father now.
Go to sleep.
Don't worry, he is our father.
Do you want to play too?
Daddy.
Why don't you braid your hair?
Can't a man always braid his hair?
Not me.
- This is meat.
- Meat.
Our language is the most beautiful
One day, everyone will understand Mongols.
Listen to how beautiful it sounds: Meat!
- Jochi, how old are you?
- Ten, Father.
You must immediately choose a bride.
How do I choose?
I'll teach you
because finding a good woman is difficult.
I agree.
I said don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid. Our father is very funny.
I have a name for a boy which you will give birth to me.
Don't you know what the Mongols are like?
I'm Mongolian. I know.
They are worse than before.
They kill and steal.
No exception for children.
I know what I have to do with the Mongols.
Take the kids and go home!
When will you be back?
a year?
Two years?
I won't see you again for a quick time, Temujin.
Lord of the blue sky, Dewa Tengri!
I bow to you.
Give me strength.
Mongols need law.
I will make them obey...
even if I have to kill half of them.
Our law may be simple.
It is forbidden to kill women or children.
Don't forget your debt.
Fight the enemy to the end.
And never betrayed your Khan.
Many soldiers come under my flag.
They know I want to unite all Mongols.
to make us strong.
But Jamukha tried to separate us.
The time has come
our final battle will determine
who will rule Mongolia.
Jamukha's army is bigger.
But I have a strategy and I know how to win I still need Dewa Tengri...
Ruler of the blue sky...
... to be by my side.
My brother is a good archer soldier.
Let's attack, Jamukha!
My brother...
crafty like a wolf.
First attack.
Attack!
Forward!
Temujin! We throw our Khan at your feet.
He tried to run, but we killed him.
- Who is this?
- Your enemy, Targutai.
- Kill them!
- What for?
Altan!
What did we do wrong?
you broke the law.
You betrayed your Khan!
We don't understand...
How are you, old man?
Thank you for remembering, Khan Temujin.
Give him a hundred horses and place the tent next to me.
Make all of these people my army.
Temujin. We caught him.
Temujin.
Now you're the Khan and I'm kneeling to you.
Are you happy?
- I forgive you, brother.
- It's too late.
I will always be a stone in your shoes.
I want to ask:
all Mongols are afraid of thunder...
... why aren't you scared?
I have no place to hide from lightning...
... so I'm not afraid anymore.
What will you do to me, Temujin?
What will you do to me,
I will kill you, brother.
Leave!
You let the enemy go.
I let my brother go.
Daddy!
When will we go looking for a bride?
You promised.
We will leave soon.
Look at how lucky Daddy has chosen your mother.
Temujin, I chose you.
That's Right!
I have to finish what I've started.
You're a good wife, Borte.
You know I'll always come back.
Old man ..
let's say how my future is
Don't be afraid.
You know your future, Great Khan.
