Original subtitles

It is not scary that there are still enemies of the Padishah on Earth.

We will defeat them as we defeated

Byzantines, Bosniaks, Bulgarians, Serbs.

The scariest thing is that still many

of his subjects bow to the cross.

Only when the same faith'll bind us,

when everybody will stand under the sacred flag of the Prophet

we'll become invincible.

If we won't do this,

the world will never be ours.

What happened, Master?

We've arrived.

Call him!

Hey!

He fell on his back. That's a good sign!

It only applies to battles.

It is a battle!

Call them!

Hey! Come here!

He's crazy!

He stands with his hat on in front of the Master.

Why don't you take off your hat, gyaur (infidel)?

Manol, don't!

What's the name of this valley?

This? Elindenya!

And there is Chitak. Village Chitak.

Then Podvis and down there is Lucky.

Do you know where is the tomb of Enihan-baba, the conqueror of the Rhodope Mountains?

Yes, up there!

Father, go and toll the bells!

Wait, we have to move your wife's bones to the chapel!

We shouldn't leave them like this. It is a sin!

If we won't hurry we'll make even bigger sin.

Hurry, Father! I'm gonna take them.

Allah is great and Muhammad is his Prophet.

All glory to you, Enihan-baba!

Turkish cavalry, grandpa Kralyu!

They passed the cemetery.

I'm gonna tell Vrazhyu-kehaya and Velko.

You go to call Merdjan and the rest.

Merdjan! Merdjan!

Sekul, where's your father?

- At home. - Tell him I'm gonna wait for him at Staiko's (home)!

Quick, boy!

How many are there, Manol?

Plenty! We have to hide the boys!

You deal with the upper neighbourhood!

And you Ilchovska and Prizhari neighbourhoods.

Jelio, you will take them away. You know where.

Manole, they have a list of the boys' names, don't they?

Such an army can't be just for children.

I'm telling you - hide everything:

cattle, grain, children.

And be vigilant!

And hide these knives!

The last thing we want is to make some trouble.

Turks!

Send the boy to Jelio! He'll lead them to the caves.

Take everything away! Soldiers!

Father, do you know where's Mircho?

He hasn't come today, why?

An army entered the valley.

I don't believe there are any of ours in the army.

They were all Sipahi (Ottoman cavalry). I didn't see Janissaries.

Goran, put more!

Can't you hear it's empty?!

I thought they forgot about us.

Goran, stop that!

What's up, dad?

Why are you standing here?

Go and search for the child.

There's nothing more left that they can take from me.

Mircho!

Where have you been?

I was with Elitsa. At the big pond.

Leave the basket and go home straight away.

You found a proper task for a man!

Who are you?

And who are you?

I am Karaibrahim, envoy of the Grand Vizier.

These here are my people.

I'm Syuleiman-Agha (Agha=Master) and this valley is mine.

I've come to you.

Greetings from the Vizier.

Here is a letter from him.

And this is a letter for the army commander.

It's me.

A letter to the local Qadi (muslim judge).

It's me.

Letter for the hodja.

Have you become a hodja too?

No, I haven't. I've got a hodja.

Hasan Hodja!

Why do you meet us as outlaaws?

Why didn't you send a message that you'll arrive

so I could meet you properly?

Once you'll have opened the letters you'll understand why.

Should we follow you?

Do they always run away when they see you?

Before meeting you they saw me.

Nobody ran away.

Obviously they don't run away from me.

Elitsa!

What's this?

Nothing.

They're informing the valley you've arrived.

To let the people know that.

Who's that man?

A carpenter. He's a foreigner.

Orthodox or infidel?

Infidel. I've bought him recently.

Sell him to me, Aga! ("Aga" is a Turkish word for sir, master)

I paid 6000 for him. If you want him - he's yours.

Why did you kill him?

He lets the people in the village administration know that I've arrived.

Do you need help?

I can manage it myself, Goran

Hurry up, hurry up, come on, hurry up!

Your mastership has come to an end,

Syuleiman-Aga.

Whatever you'll do, it'll always be wrong.

Hide them in the barn!

And stay there tonight, s o you can take the herd

to the upper meadows tomorrow before sunrise.

Momchil, did you hear me?

I wanted to pass the watermill. I brought a gift for Elitsa.

And to see her as well.

It's not time for presents now.

Mircho, be careful!

You have to take the room next to Syuleman-Aga.

I want to know what are they talking about.

Aga! 0:38:48.460,0:38:51.520 Do you know what's happening here? We have to pay for everything.

Syuleman-Aga demands money for food and everything else.

The bread and meat alone cost 12 aspri.

What if we add the oat and the hay for the horses, how much will it cost?!

Syuleiman-Aga has sent me to tell you that you're all his guests

and you don't have to pay.

Don't be afraid.

These are your mother's bones.

You know an army arrived today

and they'll definitely take away children to make them janissaries.

When I was a child they used to come too.

If they had taken me, now I would be a janissary too.

You can't be a janissary.

No one is born a janissary, son.

I don't know what they do to Christian children after taking them away.

From humans they're converted into true beasts.

I won't give you to them!

If you'll get caught

I want you to remember three father's orders,

and here, in front of your mother's bones, to swear to me

that you'll fulfil at least one of them.

Sit down.

Now listen:

when they'll take you from the village

you'll pass The Syuleiman stone bridge.

My first order is -

jump in the river rapids!

The water's gonna take you. It might drown you

but it might throw you out alive.

Will you remember, son?

I will, dad.

My second order is:

if you can't jump off the bridge,

on the spot where the road narrows, jump into the abyss.

Once a girl jumped off into the same abyss

to save herself from her opressors.

If a girl could do it,

you'll be able to do it too.

Will you remember it?

I will, dad.

And what about the third order?

If you can't manage to jump off the bridge

or to jump into the abyss

when you'll have reached the ridge

stop and turn around.

Pretend you want to see Elindenya for the last time.

Take a position when your chest is facing the stone crosses.

I'll hide in the cemetery and

I'll shoot you straight in the heart.

If my hand will shake

stand and don't move until I hit you.

Will you manage that, son?

I will, dad.

Swear to me!

I swear.

Father, say Amen!

What's the matter?

There is a bottomless abyss here.

It is said that it leads straight to Hell.

No one has been down there

and no one came back from the abyss.

How do you know that, Aga?

Aga, something's happening here.

I don't like this Konak (village administration).

You know what, they can slaughter us overnight?

If we were in the village, would it be better?

You have guards so protect us.

Sevda, why are you here?

What's the matter?

Go, Father, I will catch up with you.

What happened, Sevda?

I can't live alone anymore, Manol.

Goran wants to marry you for so long time.

Why do you refuse to marry.

I don't like him.

Manol, I know it's a sin,

but since I've lost my husband,

I've been thinking only about you.

I've been waiting for you to notice me

and if I have to I'll wait more.

You're alone too....

Three years have passed since your wife ...

I will take care of Mircho as well. I will be like mother for him.

Marry me, Manol.

Coffee for everyone.

Mehmed Küprülu prohibited the coffee.

Old Mehmed Küprülü

Let his Memory be Holy to us, prohibited the coffee.

But his son, the present Grand Vizier,

praise his name,

allowed again the orthodox muslims to drink it.

Go!

I think of the Grand Vizier every day.

I'll show you the sword he gave me as a gift in front of Belgrade,

when the janissaries revolted.

I cut down the first one

who raised his hand against him.

And you are still alive?

Where were the mates of the murdered?

Around him.

I cut down them too.

If you helped him then

you'll help now.

The Grand Vizier is in front of the walls of Candia

in a deadly battle with the infidels.

The battle for the Rhodopes

is a battle for Candia.

The Battle for Candia

is a battle for the Empire's future.

Syuleiman-Aga,

if we want to win in this battle

in this mountain the word "Bulgarian" must be forgotten.

While sending me here,

The Grand Vizier said:

The Rhodopes is a fortress, and when you turn around on your way back

you should see only minarets and no crosses.

It'll mean the fortress is ours.

Source text And the Master of the janissaries said ...

The Master of the janissaries

we know each other since the Persian campaign.

When he was hunting here

gave me as a gift a pair of silver pistols.

And the Padishah, who always a winner

gave me a golden bow,

because I hit a bear from hundred feet distance.

- The bow!! - You'll show it to me later.

I see you have many gifts.

The Padishah, praise his name,

if he saw in Tsargrad (now Istanbul)

may Allah grant us to spend our days there,

infidel with colorful clothes,

he ordered his head to be cut off immediately.

And what did my astonished eyes see in this valley ?!

Women dressed like they're in a wedding,

all of them in jewelry - in white, in red. I didn't see any veiled woman.

And what was that bell toll

that saluted us while entering the valley?

It is said: the infidels are allowed to listen only to "klepalo" (a board or a metal tile that emits sound instead of a bell)

Enough! When I leave this place,

there will be no more infidels left.

Aga, did you read the letters?

- I've read them. - Then tell me

how're you gonna help me to fulfil my task?

How can I help you and who can I help you with, Aga?

The're only few orthodox muslims here

and the fathers of many of them are still infidels.

Look here

My Hodja's name is Hassan, son of Velko. (hodja - a muslim schoolmaster)

He is a Hodja and his father is an infidel.

The shepherds from the White Sea are coming back

all armed - they have bows and arrows.

But who did allow them to have weapons?

An infidel cannot carry even a knife,

and they carry bows and arrows.

They are for bears and wolves, Hodja.

How can the shepherds walk in these forests unarmed?

And when will the shepherds return?

Some of them came back already.

The others tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

We're late.

We are on time. I knew when they will come back.

Aga, I want you to gather the leaders of the village

so I can see them in the village administration.

There aren't any leaders here, they're all slaves.

There is no village without elite, Aga.

I want those whose opinion is respected.

You know which ones.

I'll think how to collect them.

But while they are here in the building, I won't let allow anything to happen to them.

There're my guests.

Nothing will happen to them

while they are your guests.

Aga, the Mistress is asking for you.

I am Gulfie, Syuleiman's wife.

What's your name?

Abdullah.

It's obvious you're a foreigner.

I know. I was captured by Candia.

And put on the turban?

I did.

The selection of hats was not large.

Those who refused lost their heads.

And you got scared, did you?

For me my head is

more important than the hat.

And why don't you run away to your compatriots?

The same reason.

My people won't forgive me the fact I've chosen another God.

Also I have already agreed to serve the Padishah.

I am a nobleman and I keep my word.

My family is one of the most prominent in Venice.

You don't believe me, do you?

Why shouldn't I believe you?

I've seen plenty of different people.

There was one here who claimed he was Muhammad.

Why can't you claim yourself to be the King?

Crazy people are respected nowadays.

Sit down, why are you standing?

Sit down.

Take some.

This is what both masters and servants eat in our area.

What is your master like?

Looking at him, I don't think he's a Sipahi (sipahi - professional cavalrymen deployed by the Turks).

He is a sipahi.

Sipahi or not...

...he's a brave man

if as he goes around the valley only with you accompanying him.

- And what kind of women does he like? - Well, pretty ones.

So women like me?!

Mamma mia! (in Italian)

Why do you eat so much?

Because I'm bored. There aren't too much pleasures here.

This is what is left for me -

food and hashish.

What kind of women do you like?

Me?

- Maybe you're a ...? - What?

- No...no. - Alright. Eat, eat.

What's this?

Let me go! Have mercy, Syuleiman-Aga!

Save my life! I will be loyal to you unto death!

No, don't do that, Aga! No!

What's happening down there?

A trial. This man will be put it into a sack and thrown into the waterfall.

Why, what has he done? 0:59:37.120,0:59:40.220He molested a girl at the spring, touched her bosom.

And because of that they're going to kill him?

That's the way people are treated here.

Don't people like him face trial in your native country?

If we killed for such a thing,

we would have lost our army.

Quick - milk, bread!

Where are you from, mother?

We're from many different villages, my son.

We're from Chepino.

That's all what was left of Chepino.

They burned our houses, they tore down our churches,

they killed all those

who refused to change their faith.

What's this?

Where are going with those crosses?

They're moving their cemetery.

That's all they could preserve.

Grandma, where is your priest?

They killed him, Father. He was the first to be killed.

They tore my daughter apart .

They did it in front of my eyes.

Father.

Bless him, Father.

He died on te way.

He's not christened.

Father.

There were many of them.

If I'll give birth, I'll kill the child.

I'll kill him with my own hands.

It's not the kids they want to make janissaries, my son

but all of us.

Let's see now

will your father have the strength to do that,

what he asked you to do.

Yoe're welcomed here, Manol Kehaya. (kehaya - person in charge of accommodation in the Ottoman Empire)

today

and tomorrow and whenever you come here.

Because when you were my herd's shepherd,

no sheep got lost

and the milk used to flow like a river.

We celebrate today.

The earth soaked up the victim's (goat) blood

so this year will be rich.

I hope I can fulfill your request.

Because I see you have come to ask for something.

Ismail-Bey, (bey - sir, master in Turkish)

we've come to ask you to sell us a place for a village from your pastures.

Yusuf,

take this!

This old woman is leading about a hundred refugees.

I don't want to hide it from you - they are fleeing from Mehmed Pasha.

Because they didn't want to change their faith.

Why did Mehmed force the people to change their faith?

Everybody should be ready for Allah by himself.

Look, the wife of one of my sons is from your people.

She refused to change her faith and carries a cross.

So you need a place for a village.

I'll gather my family, we'll decide.

Father Ismail, don't turn us back.

Because the soul of these people is hanging by a thread.

Tell me, Bey! Tell me so I'll know

where will my bones be buried.

Manol Kehaya, who's gonna buy the place?

This grandmother's people or you?

I'll buy it.

Where should I give you the place?

These people are fleeing, Bey.

Let the place be there where no one can find them.

Petglasets.

I'll give you Petglasets.

You won't be found there.

Manol Kehaya.

I migh be wrong

but you might need

a hiding place in the future as well.

And I don't have another place like this.

I won't need it, Bey.

Where the tree is planted, there its roots rot.

Can you plant a fir in the mountain?

People aren't trees, Manol.

Look at us,

at the yuruks (yuruk - Turkish ethnic subgroup)

We moved from the springs of the Euphrates and we've still been wandering.

And no one knows where we'll end up.

Tell me, Bey, what do you want for Petglasets?

Let's see can we manage that or not.

What do I want?

Your 52 silver bells. That's what I want.

I want when my herds'll start moving to the south

the whole mountain to ring and everybody to say:

"Ismail Bey is passing by."

And?

Will you give them?

Listen, Manol Kehaya!

I know that the bells are the only thing you have left from your father.

I know that not only you,

but the whole valley will impoverish if I'll take them.

Because you've been with them in joy and in trouble.

But that's why I asked for them - to hurt you.

Because for a great deed you need a great sacrifice.

It hurts, Bey.

But the reason why it hurts is different.

Our fathers used to conquer this mountain with their swords.

And now I'm buying it with bells.

You'll have them.

When your herds will move to the south, you'll have them.

It's on fire.

It is, Syuleiman-Aga.

It's coming here, we can't stop it.

You can if you want, Syuleiman-Aga.

We will gather all the Elindenya's men.

Don't leave us alone, Aga.

Lead us and we'll forget

those thrown into the waterfall, hanged and killed by you.

We'll forget everything.

Manol Kehaya,

why do you remember those who were thrown, hanged, killed.

Why don't you remember the stone bridges

the white cobblestone roads, the three spouted fountains

I've built.

Aga! (Master)

The people from three villages built the great stone bridge.

The people from three villages with their children as well.

The wounds made by the stones are still on their hands.

Syuleiman-Aga,

did you build the Big Syuleiman bridge yourself?

We've built it together.

And now you suggest me to rise together against the Padishah?

Is it what you're suggesting me, Manol Kehaya? Revolt?

Karaibrahim, the envoy of the Grand Vizier

wants to see you all in the village administration building tomorrow.

That's all I had to say you.

Manol, what have you done? He will betray us.

We've made a mistake. The fires made us blind.

What mistake? Without Suleiman Aga's help we are lost anyway.

We must be mad to go to the village administration alone.

I won't give my head for free.

If we won't go there

they'll start with the women and children.

We have to go.

Let them hear from us that we won't change our religion.

Father, they'll kill us, they will kill all of us.

They can't kill all of us. They'll kill ten. They'll kill a hundred to intimidate us.

- We shouldn't give up. - We can't. We won't stand it.

Follow me!

Take a look and remember them good!

Most of them were women.

Their breasts were full of milk.

They were carrying unborn children in their wombs

No one gave up.

How can we do it?

We, Elindenya's elite.

They're coming.

The infidels are coming.

Great favour has been given to this valley.

The Padishah, may Allah bless his name,

defender of the holy cities of

Mecca and Medina,

father for his citizens

and a horror for his enemies,

decided to reach out to you.

Aga (aga - Master, sir in Turkish),

we know why you're here. Hodja's (hdja - muslim priest) words are unnecessary.

We gathered here and decided to tell you -

we will not give up our religion!

That's what we decided, Aga.

I've been hoping for a different answer.

I could have started straight away

with knife and fire.

Like the others did.

And now there would have been be only the orthodox Muslims

and dead bodies.

I've come here to do a task

and I'll do it.

If not today,

then in a week.

When I entered this valley,

you greeted me with a bell tolling.

When I'll go away

you'll send me off with muezzin singing.

If you'll succeed to leave!

Stop!

My answer to that person

hiding behind the others is:

if I won't be able to leave,

another one will come.

But in Elindenya you'll hear the sound of muezzin singing.

Let me say something, Aga.

Don't spill blood in the mountain

and we will bless you forever.

We are loyal subjects of the Padishah.

We will not become more loyal if we distort our souls.

Or maybe you think, Aga,

that even if anybody chooses your religion,

he will carry it in his heart?

I know you won't carry it in your hearts.

But your grandchildren will be

more religious than the Imams in Mecca.

You've got ten days. Starting today.

If you won't come on the tenth day at noon

to accept voluntarily the proper religion,

I'm free to deal with you in my own way.

And now go away.

The torrent passes but the sand remains.

I'll treat you not as a torrent

but as a fire.

And what will be left,

will be soft as

this ash.

But there are always coals left after that,

black unburned coals.

I won't leave anyone from your family in peace -

I will make them draw a cross

with their own blood and spit on it.

My family is very big, Aga. You won't be able to do it.

I am an orphan and everyone here looked after me while I was growing up.

- All the people here are my brothers. - We'll see

in ten days.

What?

We've got ten days.

I hope we'll get rid of the evil,

which befell us.

Help us, God!

God, save us!

You don't sleep too, do you?

It's very noisy tonight.

- My sleep is gone. - You should had closed the window.

I've tried. I can hear it anyway.

Sit down!

Syuleiman-Aga,

is it true that you killed your brother?

Did Gyulfie tell you?

Her.

My brother was an outlaw.

The whole valley suffered from his behaviour.

Because of me, no one dared put him in his place.

I had no mercy for him.

I had no mercy to anyone who had broken the law,

and now I'm sitting and thinking:

how much will my law cost in ten days?

When the dead people will outnumber the living people,

and there will be more criminals than honest people.

I bring to trial people for deeds which will be blessed tomorrow,

and I wonder:

am I a judge or a murderer?

Suleiman aga, The Sultan

is the judge of all judges.

If he wants, he'll send his mercy here as well.

I've heard he is a merciful man.

He is,

but he'll have no mercy to Rhodope Mountains.

This is different.

What about the Grand Vizier?

- Have you ever seen him? - No, i haven't, Aga.

But I've heard he is old and wise.

He had looked like an old man since he was a child.

He tried all the drugs in the world:

hashish, opium, herbs.

He's got eighty wives, and he has no strength for even one of them.

He's a desperate man

but rules the largest country in the world.

A desperate man who has power, my Venetian friend,

is the most terrible evil.

He can see that the Empire is collapsing,

that from top to bottom everything lives with bribes,

and he thinks there's only one remedy:

kill people outside our country, so nobody will be killed inside.

The Empire is dying, my Venetian friend,

Do you believe anybody is going to think about Elindenya ?!

The worse thing is that

when an empire begins to die,

it can die for three hundred years.

And you? Why are you so worried about the infidels?

Aren't you afraid your Master may find out that?

are you gonna tell him?

Are you sure I am not questioning you to let him know afterwards?

Karaibrahim wants to know everyone's thoughts.

He doesn't want to know, my Venetian friend.

He's task is to change the world,

and for that task

you better don't know what the others think.

You're a wise man, Aga.

I don't know too much about wisdom.

Of course you don't. Look at you, how are you sitting?!

Until you learn to sit cross-legged,

you won't achieve anything!

The wise people have invented this way of sitting.

Do you want to do me a favor?

Tell me, Aga! (Aga - Master in Turkish)

Go to the mountain tomorrow

and send my message to a certain shepherd -

Manol kehaya - everybody knows him.

You'll give him this towel

and the only thing you'tell him is:

"Suleiman-Aga cannot stand in the way of Allah!"

why are you sending me, Aga?

I don't wanna send my man.

Only because of that?

Aren't you sending me to report Karaibrahim,

that you won't help Elindenya's people?

Why do you have to say out loud that thing

which we both know?

And why don't you go to Karaibrahim yourself

and tell him?

Because I don't want to humiliate myself.

Look here, my Venetian friend,

it's time of parting!

You have to chose one side

or the other!

I've been staying in the middle for a very long time.

So they asked Syuleiman-Aga to rise against me?

Yes, but he refused.

He refused too late.

The letter to the Vizier is on its way.

This means the end of Syuleiman-Aga.

No one knows what the Grand Vizier's decision will be.

Aga (Master), is there any point for me to go to these shepherds?

Yes.

Let them know that they're alone!

Manol!

Manol Kehaya!

Syuleiman-Aga has sent a man.

He's asking for you.

You've asked for me, did you?

Syuleiman-Aga has sent me to tell you

that he can't stand in the way of Allah.

Have you got any other news?

No.

Then say "Farewell"to him.

from Elindenya's people .

Do not resist! Non ce la farai...(in Italian)

You won't succeed.

You're not Turkish, aren't you?

No.

But I'm alive.

You sold your soul.

Listen, shepherd,

I wouldn't forgive you for such an insult before.

But now the only thing I'll tell you is:

I hope to see you again.

Syuleiman-Aga refused.

I knew all this was in vain.

Syuleiman Aga's konak (konak - administration building) is like a fortress.

We can kill ourselves but we won't get inside.

Apart from that Mehmed Pasha is not far from here with hundred thousand men.

Father,

I want to marry Elitsa.

Will you let her become my wife?

Why are you standing here?

Come here, Elitsa!

I'm afraid, Father! People started avoiding me.

And Dad hasn't said any word to me for two days. Tell me what to do.

Does he know about Momchil?

I grew up with Momchil together.

It's always been nice for me to meet him.

But that day...

...something turned inside me...

I saw Manol.

I saw him like never before.

And since that moment it's only him in front of my eyes. Day and night it is only him.

Is this a sin, Father?

I don't know, my daughter.

I don't know any more.

Elitsa!

Elitsa!

Elitsa,

is that true?

That's true, Momhcil!

Where's my father?

Where's he?

Momhcil!

- Wait, Momhcil! - Leave me alone!

- Wait, Momhcil! - Did you tell him about us?

- To tell him what? - That both of us together...

What? Do you remember when I came up there to you

and we chased each other around the forest and you caught me?

I was burning and I asked you to let me go. Why did you let me go?

Do you remember that night when I told you to come with me to the springs and I was holding your hand?

And you kept saying to me: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Didn't you realize that I wasn't shaking with fear? Why didn't you hug me?

And when you found me asleep on the Samodivska meadow, why did you wake me up?

- Why didn't you take me? - Elitsa!

And since you wanted me so much, why didn't you ask my father to bless our marriage so far?

- Elitsa! - You can call me Elitsa now!

Because in one week you will call me "Mom!"

You must consecrate it, Father!

You've gone mad! Go away!

Get away with this!

Manol, what are doing, Manol?

The bell's tolling for dead, and you're preparing for a wedding!

The people are wait for humility and prayer, not for feasting and rioting.

Manol!

I'm looking for salvation too, Manol.

I pray to Jesus all night, but instead of angelic hymns I hear are davuls and zurnas (davul, zurna - Turkish music instruments).

You know,

when I was looking at the face of Virgin Mary,

I saw a skull,

and in the skull's holes -

dug up roots.

They were dug not by wild boars, but by children's fingers.

Also I saw many desolate villages,

extinguished hearths,

pregnant women who were hitting their wombs with stones to kill the foreign children.

And a black anthill covered the mountain.

Manole, you can't start something that is doomed!

There are only swords and knives on the horizon,

and human heads impaled on stakes.

I saw Vrazhu Keahaya's head,

Stoiko Prosveta's head

Kralyu's head.

I saw your head too!

Is that you, Father?

You've lost your mind.

Manol, this wedding will bring evil.

The fear will bring evil.

People are hiding everywhere.

Don't you see that the bagpipes sounds will gather the people together?

They will restore their strength!

You are searching for an excuse for the sin you want to do.

I will not give you my blessing.

And if you don't give it, the wedding will take place anyway!

You want to ask me something?

Are you waiting for me to say it?

You want her. Take her, what are you waiting for ?!

If you can't live without her, be a man!

You've got a knife. Hit!

To kill your own father ...

... this is not a man's job.

Then forgive him!

I've woven this for you!

Aga (Master)

collect and lock your

people's weapons!

Why!

In that case there will fewer people dead.

Won't you let them know what's going to happen?

And Stoyko Prosvet has come. Everyone is here.

Goran,

go guard the path!

We must not be left without guards.

I'll go.

Go, go!

I know you don't like this wedding.

That's why thanks for coming.

Thanks for coming.

Because a wedding without wedding guests is like a bell without a tongue.

Thanks also to those who have put on

their best, most gorgeous clothes

so the mountain will remember us with good.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers, Manol!

Cheers!

No,

no!

No!

Leave me alone!

People! Manol!

Wait, blood will be spilled!

Blood will be spilled!

Why has you come?

There are three days left of the ten you gave us.

That's right.

But you will spend them in the konak (village administration)!

I gave these 10 days to you to think,

not to make weddings.

Take their bows and knives!

All the elite to the village administration!

Manol!

What are you waiting for?

What now, father?

Now, Momchil,

the Elindenya's people

have many paths to go in front of them.

And everybody will

choose his own path...
