1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:03,880
This is Hattusa,

2
00:00:04,370 --> 00:00:08,900
the capital of the Hittite Empire
in the 14th century BCE.

3
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:16,080
This is the story of a girl
who rides the sultry winds

4
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:18,840
across the vast stretches of Anatolia.

5
00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:31,240
The wind blows strong,
kicking up the dry sand.

6
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:34,970
The wind blows hot,

7
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:37,760
and I live under these skies,

8
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:42,520
- RED RIVER

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,960
- on the banks of the red river.

10
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:10,990
- I CAN'T GO BACK, I WON'T GO BACK

11
00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:09,630
- I Can't Go Back, I Won't Go Back.

12
00:02:12,820 --> 00:02:14,157
Unlock these doors!

13
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,240
Your queen has visitors!

14
00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:21,100
Who's calling at such a late hour?

15
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,640
Prince Kail!

16
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,667
I wish to see Her Majesty
regarding an urgent matter.

17
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:29,630
C-Certainly! Right away!

18
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:38,057
Well, if it isn't Prince Kail.

19
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:42,477
Have you no respect
for your queen's evening repose?

20
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,087
You weren't asleep! You were trying to—

21
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:48,860
I apologize for my rudeness.

22
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,490
However, it appears one of my servants
has mistakenly came to this palace.

23
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:56,000
A servant?

24
00:02:56,410 --> 00:02:59,327
If you were to ask,
I'd hardly know about that.

25
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:00,537
You liar.

26
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:04,737
He was the boy who saved me
from getting killed by you!

27
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:08,697
Oh? You would slander your queen
in such a manner?

28
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:14,457
Keeping this cretin as your consort
will only stain your honor, Prince Kail.

29
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:16,010
Give Tito back to us!

30
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:19,627
Perhaps you were dreaming, child.
Leave my sight.

31
00:03:19,710 --> 00:03:20,517
Get back here!

32
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,367
Your Majesty, I request
to search these premises.

33
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:27,850
I wish to make sure my servant
has not stolen into your palace.

34
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:30,567
Your request is denied.

35
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:32,947
Now, take your leave, Prince Kail.

36
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:34,317
But I insist.

37
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,617
Have you forgotten? I am the queen.

38
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,117
I am the Tawananna
of all that you see.

39
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,707
No one commands me but the emperor.

40
00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:43,960
Take your leave.

41
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:47,290
"Tawananna"?

42
00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:50,297
Hey, what's a "Tawananna"?

43
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:53,707
It's the title given to the
preeminent woman of the empire.

44
00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:57,740
It means if we wish to act,
we need my father. Let's go.

45
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:05,017
I had a chamberlain tell my father
that I wish to speak with him.

46
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,657
He may not agree at this late hour,

47
00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:10,897
but we'll convince him to
accompany us to the queen's palace.

48
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:14,257
There's no time. Just drag him out of bed.

49
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:15,390
Your Highness?

50
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,180
What is the cause of this disturbance?

51
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:22,337
You have yet to meet this man, Yuri.

52
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:25,497
This is Ilbani,
the steward of this palace...

53
00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:27,070
and my foster brother.

54
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:31,880
Your Highness, we have everything
to return Lady Yuri, correct?

55
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:38,617
Let us disregard the servant
and send her back at once.

56
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:39,590
What?

57
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,340
I'm not going home while Tito's missing.

58
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:45,267
Tito is most likely slain.

59
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:49,167
Give up on him.
Prepare to make your return.

60
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:51,270
What makes you say that?

61
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:55,520
I believe the queen employs
a Kashuga named Zuwa.

62
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:59,987
He is a chieftain of the
barbarians in the north.

63
00:05:00,070 --> 00:05:07,620
He is notorious for favoring fineries and
collecting the skins of those he kills.

64
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:12,137
He is rumored to be especially partial
to the smooth skin of juveniles,

65
00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:14,277
so I cannot imagine he would spare Tito.

66
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,507
That means there's literally no time!

67
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:17,337
Yuri!

68
00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:18,420
Let go of me!

69
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,757
I can't just give up on him!

70
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:21,590
Settle down!

71
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:36,050
Are you now at peace?

72
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:40,110
I haven't given up on Tito.

73
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:45,100
All lives are meant to be held sacred,
no matter the status of the person.

74
00:05:45,630 --> 00:05:49,370
Forgetting that would make me
no better than the queen.

75
00:05:49,910 --> 00:05:51,277
Prince.

76
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,680
We'll do everything we can
to regain custody of Tito.

77
00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:56,750
Do you understand, Il?

78
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,720
I take back what I said.

79
00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:09,280
Is my father unavailable?
I'll press the chamberlains again—

80
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:11,997
I beg your pardon, Your Highness.

81
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:12,850
What is it?

82
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:17,510
We've discovered the body of a child
outside the east wall.

83
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,410
We warn you not to look at the rest.

84
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:36,500
The child is entirely skinned
from the neck down.

85
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:40,450
Tito.

86
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:42,570
Tito.

87
00:06:43,890 --> 00:06:48,427
The first time I smiled in this new reality
was when I met you.

88
00:06:48,510 --> 00:06:50,010
Lady Yuri.

89
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:53,937
I'm grateful to you
for saving me from execution.

90
00:06:54,020 --> 00:06:57,400
I was so happy when you did that for me.

91
00:06:58,090 --> 00:06:59,400
Lady Yuri.

92
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:01,020
Be well.

93
00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:04,440
I should be thanking you.

94
00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:07,840
Tito.

95
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:11,517
There are no words I can say
to apologize to you.

96
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,007
It's my fault.

97
00:07:13,090 --> 00:07:15,590
I was the one who killed you.

98
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,670
You won't eat?

99
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:42,410
You haven't had a bite since morning.

100
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:43,950
I don't want any.

101
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,867
It's all my fault.

102
00:07:47,950 --> 00:07:51,700
Please tell me. What am I supposed to do?

103
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:02,000
P-Prince?

104
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:03,160
Don't cry.

105
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,460
I cannot properly explain why,

106
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,560
but I don't wish to see you in tears.

107
00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:18,030
Pardon the interruption.

108
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:21,640
Your Highness, we must hurry.

109
00:08:22,410 --> 00:08:23,437
For what reason?

110
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,510
Remember, we must prepare
to send Lady Yuri back to her home.

111
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,750
The next dawn is the last time the
morning star rises during the wet season.

112
00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:36,950
We'd need to wait an entire year
for another chance.

113
00:08:37,370 --> 00:08:39,837
We're sending Yuri back?

114
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,160
I get to go home tomorrow?

115
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,550
I'm fully prepared for the ritual.

116
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,717
We can start at any time.

117
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,740
Yeah. I'm ready, too.

118
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,137
I finally get to see my family again.

119
00:08:57,220 --> 00:09:00,880
So why am I not happy?

120
00:09:01,690 --> 00:09:05,440
You're finally going
to return home, Lady Yuri.

121
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,560
I will miss you.

122
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:11,730
Tito said he wanted me
to stay here with him.

123
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,240
But even if I did stay here...

124
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:18,387
I'm never going to forget Tito,

125
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:21,247
but there's nothing I can do for him now.

126
00:09:21,330 --> 00:09:23,917
I'm going! I'm going home!

127
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,460
I'm going back to my family!

128
00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:40,350
Your Highness, do you really intend
to send Lady Yuri away?

129
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,267
Why ask again?

130
00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:49,860
I was afraid you'd forgotten why you've
refused all marriage proposals to date.

131
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,357
I haven't forgotten.

132
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,370
Yuri becoming my concubine
was sheer happenstance.

133
00:09:57,810 --> 00:09:58,680
But...

134
00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:04,250
Never mind. We will send Yuri back.

135
00:10:04,610 --> 00:10:08,380
Even if she were to stay,
you needn't worry about a thing.

136
00:10:08,990 --> 00:10:11,007
In fact, I love Himuro!

137
00:10:11,090 --> 00:10:12,970
I can't stand you!

138
00:10:18,850 --> 00:10:22,820
That's the last morning star
of the year: Ishtar.

139
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:27,730
The dry season starts tomorrow,
so the springs will not fill until next year.

140
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,650
Prince Kail!

141
00:10:31,290 --> 00:10:35,067
We've stationed our best guards
at all seven springs.

142
00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:36,080
Good.

143
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:42,090
Yuri, you will enter the spring
and return whence you came.

144
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,337
I hope the queen doesn't butt in again.

145
00:10:49,420 --> 00:10:51,427
I expect her to make an attempt.

146
00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:54,470
But I'm just as powerful
a sorcerer as her.

147
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:57,617
I can counter all her tricks,
so have no fear.

148
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:58,810
Okay.

149
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,610
Nobody move!

150
00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:36,940
The wind calmed the water?

151
00:11:39,450 --> 00:11:40,210
Yuri!

152
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,530
Step into the spring.

153
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:45,887
God and master of time and space,

154
00:11:45,970 --> 00:11:49,600
return this maiden to her former place!

155
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,747
That bracelet...

156
00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:03,040
Zuwa?

157
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:08,477
Kashuga bandits!

158
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,420
Shield Prince Kail and the others!

159
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,550
Yuri, enter the spring.

160
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:16,690
Then I can recite the incantation.

161
00:12:17,010 --> 00:12:18,130
Yuri!

162
00:12:20,510 --> 00:12:24,850
That bracelet is the torc
Tito got from his sisters.

163
00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:28,600
And that thing on his head... Oh, god.

164
00:12:29,660 --> 00:12:30,960
Lady Yuri.

165
00:12:31,570 --> 00:12:32,960
Lady Yuri.

166
00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:35,870
Tito.

167
00:12:36,730 --> 00:12:39,200
Yuri! Hurry! Before dawn breaks!

168
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:42,070
How could you?

169
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,280
Yuri!

170
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:48,210
I can behead you with one hand
tied behind my back.

171
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,130
You wench!

172
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:10,477
It's dawn!

173
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,940
Our work here is done. Let's go!

174
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:17,210
But why?

175
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:21,910
I have unfinished business here.

176
00:13:22,990 --> 00:13:24,080
I...

177
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:27,540
I can't let Tito's killers walk free!

178
00:13:28,450 --> 00:13:31,430
I won't go back home
until I've avenged Tito.

179
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,450
Yuri.

180
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,547
You did well, Zuwa.

181
00:13:45,630 --> 00:13:48,180
All we needed was for her to remain.

182
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:54,017
We can now take our time in capturing her.

183
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,950
This time, we'll make sure
Kail doesn't get in our way.

184
00:14:03,570 --> 00:14:05,620
I must avenge Tito.

185
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:11,440
But that said, I can't do anything
without Prince Kail.

186
00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:17,377
What? The Kashugas attacked Alinna?

187
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:20,420
Yes. We received news of it just now.

188
00:14:20,780 --> 00:14:22,017
What's Alinna?

189
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:23,537
A stronghold city.

190
00:14:23,620 --> 00:14:25,847
An important temple is located there.

191
00:14:25,930 --> 00:14:29,307
But we crushed the Kashugas
in battle last year.

192
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:33,127
They shouldn't have the forces
to overrun Alinna.

193
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:34,640
And they don't.

194
00:14:34,930 --> 00:14:38,067
That implies they have a powerful
benefactor providing support.

195
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:39,520
But who?

196
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,480
I have an idea.

197
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,857
Don't speak, Yuri. We have no proof.

198
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:51,780
In any case, the king has ordered me
to repel the attack.

199
00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:54,540
I will leave Hattusa soon.

200
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:57,460
What am I supposed to do?

201
00:14:59,710 --> 00:15:03,007
Naturally, you will wait here, Lady Yuri.

202
00:15:03,090 --> 00:15:06,340
The battlefield is no place for a woman.

203
00:15:07,970 --> 00:15:10,960
The queen must've planned this.

204
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:13,767
She's trying to draw Kail away from me.

205
00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:16,437
Kikkuri, we prepare for war.

206
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,270
Yes, sir.

207
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,070
Hey, I get the feeling that
you don't want me here. Why's that?

208
00:15:28,910 --> 00:15:33,017
The prince previously vowed
he wouldn't take a concubine.

209
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,580
I agreed with that decision.

210
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:42,500
If you intend to stay,
then you should be informed.

211
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,177
Prince Kail is a luminary who will
eventually accede to the highest post.

212
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:49,177
Accede?

213
00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:52,807
You mean he'll be king?
I thought he was third in line.

214
00:15:52,890 --> 00:15:57,817
The Crown Prince, Arnuwanda,
has a weak constitution.

215
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:01,320
He has sired no children
and is not expected to.

216
00:16:01,790 --> 00:16:06,307
The Second Prince, Telipinu,
has a lowborn mother,

217
00:16:06,390 --> 00:16:08,390
so he will be denied the throne.

218
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:11,817
However, Prince Kail was born
to the former queen,

219
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:14,087
and he is healthy in mind and body.

220
00:16:14,170 --> 00:16:18,420
He has all the qualities to ascend
to the throne over anyone else.

221
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:23,840
Everyone except the current queen
has tacitly accepted that to be true.

222
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,680
B-But what does him being king
have to do with me?

223
00:16:28,990 --> 00:16:33,880
If the prince becomes king,
his royal consort becomes the Tawananna.

224
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:40,097
The Tawananna must possess
the necessary caliber and character.

225
00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:43,270
You can see how Queen Nakia
proves that necessity.

226
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,907
The prince once told me
in so many words:

227
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:49,717
"One day, I will rule as king."

228
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Therefore, I will be strict
about my eventual choice of bride.

229
00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:58,317
She must display the
aptitude, prudence,

230
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,350
presence of mind, and other
qualities required of a leader.

231
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:04,960
In exchange, I will take no other woman.

232
00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:09,030
I will love only my wife
for as long as I live.

233
00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:17,097
The prince has been searching for the
most suitable woman ever since. Yet he...

234
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:20,540
Don't worry. Your prince
didn't forget anything.

235
00:17:22,430 --> 00:17:27,160
I'm only his concubine for show.
There's nothing more to it.

236
00:17:27,790 --> 00:17:31,070
So why do I feel so crushed knowing that?

237
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:40,580
Kail is being forced to leave Hattusa
under the king's orders.

238
00:17:40,830 --> 00:17:43,597
With Kail gone, that maiden is ours.

239
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,590
A word, Queen Nakia.

240
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:50,387
Prince Kail might be shrewd enough
to take the maiden with him.

241
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:52,180
To a battlefield?

242
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,800
If so, then so be it.

243
00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:59,430
You know what to do...

244
00:17:59,850 --> 00:18:01,190
Urhi.

245
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:06,190
Kail Mursili.

246
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,357
I bestow full authority on you
to act as my proxy.

247
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,557
Go forth and repel the Kashugas.

248
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,450
Yes, sire.

249
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,580
Our god, Teshub, in the highest,
grant victory to the Hittites.

250
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:25,080
We march to battle.

251
00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:31,327
I wonder how long he'll be away.

252
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:35,840
No, I can't keep bothering him and
saddling him with my problems.

253
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:41,070
I must say goodbye to him,
and tell him to take care.

254
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,300
Um, excuse me.

255
00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:50,070
Prince Kail, well...

256
00:18:50,510 --> 00:18:51,320
Yuri.

257
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:57,160
Are you prepared to face war?

258
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:02,910
Stay with me. I vow to protect you.

259
00:19:04,550 --> 00:19:08,167
If you trust me, then come, Yuri.

260
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:09,377
Your Highness!

261
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:11,200
Prince Kail.

262
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:34,070
Kail, you deign to take
a woman into battle with you?

263
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:39,827
Hear me, cohorts!

264
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:45,497
This maiden emerged from a spring
when Ishtar was shining in the heavens.

265
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:48,670
You know Ishtar as our goddess of war.

266
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,060
Then know that Ishtar has
bestowed this maiden upon us.

267
00:19:54,730 --> 00:19:59,640
As long as this maiden is with us,
the Hittites shall prevail!

268
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,607
Hear this, Yuri.

269
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:10,740
If you wish to avenge Tito,
then do whatever is necessary to survive.

270
00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:11,980
Right.

271
00:20:12,830 --> 00:20:17,320
One more thing.
Alinna is also Tito's birthplace.

272
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:29,800
Hello? Will someone answer? Hello?

273
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:33,630
Who calls during this crisis?

274
00:20:34,660 --> 00:20:36,497
Would this be the house of Tito?

275
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,857
Yes. And?

276
00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:40,217
What's this about our brother?

277
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:43,610
I am a messenger sent by Prince Kail.

278
00:20:44,250 --> 00:20:47,057
It pains me to say that
your dear brother has perished.

279
00:20:47,140 --> 00:20:49,227
What? Tito's dead?

280
00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:50,857
That can't be.

281
00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:56,397
I am afraid the prince's concubine
slew him over a trivial affair.

282
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,947
What? His concubine?

283
00:20:59,030 --> 00:21:01,860
Tell us about this woman.

284
00:21:02,150 --> 00:21:07,120
She is a doltish young jezebel,
by the name of Yuri.

285
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,230
Yuri? That's who killed Tito?

286
00:21:11,550 --> 00:21:13,080
She must pay.
