1
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,580
Jaadugar
2
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:41,760
25 Years Ago
3
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:56,010
My lady!
4
00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:59,600
My lady!
5
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,930
Gosh. What are you doing out here?
6
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:07,150
It's time for you to get ready to leave.
7
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,030
I'll be right there.
8
00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:20,510
Farewell, Naiman.
9
00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:28,940
As a member of the Naimans,
a nation far to the west of here,
10
00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:34,000
I was to marry into the Merkits,
with whom we shared an alliance.
11
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,830
I wonder what the Merkit tribes are like.
12
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:42,680
They live in the woods to the north,
and many are skilled bowmen called Mergen.
13
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:44,400
Mergen?
14
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,770
They're the Mergen people,
thus the name: Merkits.
15
00:02:48,110 --> 00:02:50,930
In other words, barbaric hunters.
16
00:02:52,180 --> 00:02:53,190
Well, it matters not.
17
00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:56,160
I am no more than a valuable gift.
18
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,020
No different from a precious gemstone
or a fine fur pelt.
19
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:03,130
That's fine by me.
20
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:07,310
I take pride in that fact.
21
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:15,010
{\an7}The Mergen People
22
00:03:18,830 --> 00:03:20,720
So this is where the Merkits live?
23
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:24,360
It's much drearier than I expected.
24
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:26,960
Why are there so few men?
25
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,610
Töregene.
26
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:33,940
Merkit Tribe Chieftain
Dayir
27
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:33,940
I see you made it here safely.
I'm sorry this isn't much of a welcome.
28
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:37,190
Taken aback at learning
your husband is so senile?
29
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:38,290
Oh, no.
30
00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:42,370
Well, so be it.
31
00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:45,890
Marrying a much older man
is by no means a rare occurrence.
32
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:53,740
However, Dayir made no advances
after we were wed.
33
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:57,700
On the contrary...
34
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,430
You're away again today?
35
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:03,390
I'm sorry for always leaving you behind.
36
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:05,850
And we're moving camp again?
37
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,810
We only just arrived here.
38
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,780
We can't stay in one place for very long.
39
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:14,850
You'd best get going.
40
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:16,810
Chuu!
41
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:22,620
Let me know if you ever need anything.
42
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:23,760
Y-Yes.
43
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,580
Um—
44
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:27,760
Mistress. What shall I do with these?
45
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Oh, for those...
46
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:35,160
Do all of the other tribes
relocate at such short intervals?
47
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:39,680
No, there's something strange
going on here.
48
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,170
It's as if we're fleeing from something.
49
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:48,890
Well, I suppose there's no use
in me worrying about it.
50
00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:51,760
My only role is to be a gemstone.
51
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:55,820
What good would it do
for a gemstone to worry?
52
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,030
I want to return to Naiman.
53
00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:16,120
No one will notice if I go missing.
54
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:19,480
Chieftain Dayir won't.
Nor will anyone else.
55
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:21,590
Wait!
56
00:05:23,310 --> 00:05:24,970
Don't move!
57
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:33,850
That was a close one.
58
00:05:34,090 --> 00:05:35,490
Are you unhurt?
59
00:05:38,660 --> 00:05:41,250
Qultuqan, you live up
to your title of Mergen.
60
00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:43,500
Not really. Anyone could've done that.
61
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:44,820
Oh?
62
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:47,120
You must be Töregene...
63
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,410
my new mother!
64
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,300
I'm Khulan, Dayir's daughter.
65
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:58,170
Qultuqan. My name, I mean.
66
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,500
Khulan was Dayir's child, and Qultuqan
was the child of another chieftain.
67
00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:06,640
Look.
68
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,070
If you go down this river,
it splits into the Qara and Dal Rivers.
69
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:15,540
Go further downstream still,
and they feed into the Selenge River.
70
00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:18,370
That's where both Qultuqan
and I were born.
71
00:06:18,370 --> 00:06:19,710
Oh?
72
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:24,320
And if you go all the way down the rivers,
do you know where they end up?
73
00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:30,040
You know the star to the north
that doesn't move?
74
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:38,290
Underneath it, there's a great big hole,
into which all of the world's rivers flow.
75
00:06:38,290 --> 00:06:41,890
Wow, I never knew that.
76
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:45,840
It's not like you've seen it for yourself.
77
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,160
Hey, Qultuqan.
78
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,340
Is that right?
79
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:53,180
Neither of us have the power of kams
to converse with spirits.
80
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:58,230
Father's a kam, and he's been
to where the rivers end many times.
81
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:01,940
His soul turns into a bird
and flies there.
82
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,530
A kam?
83
00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:08,070
I wish I had kam powers, too.
84
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:10,700
Or I was more skilled with a bow.
85
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:12,540
You really are a dreadful shot.
86
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:14,490
Hey, hold your tongue!
87
00:07:14,490 --> 00:07:15,830
You said it yourself!
88
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:16,960
Hey!
89
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,340
"Hey!" What?
90
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:22,020
You're laughing.
91
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:23,530
Oh, pardon me.
92
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,570
Something changed within me that day.
93
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:41,300
It felt as though the very world
around me now stirred my soul.
94
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:55,160
I experienced laughter and joy.
95
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,820
Discontent and sorrow, too.
96
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,600
I came to love the days I spent here.
97
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:40,100
Then I understood for the first time.
98
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,590
Wake up, everyone!
99
00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:49,550
Extinguish your hearths!
100
00:08:49,550 --> 00:08:51,320
We need to flee at once!
101
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,220
What's happened?
102
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:54,500
Our chieftains' armies have been bested!
103
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,600
The enemy will be here soon!
104
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,190
Into the forest!
105
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,840
Khulan! Töregene! This way!
106
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,860
Qultuqan!
107
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:18,250
How much did they plunder?
108
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:22,430
Qudu's family is gone,
as are Chilaun's wife and children.
109
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:24,920
Töregene!
110
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:26,750
Father!
111
00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:29,300
You must have been scared.
112
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:31,760
Thank you for protecting Khulan.
113
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,720
She was the one who protected me.
114
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:37,050
What exactly is going on?
115
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:41,480
So the Naimans told you nothing after all?
116
00:09:41,930 --> 00:09:44,560
I suppose I don't blame them.
117
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,860
Our people have an enemy.
118
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,070
TemĂĽjin of the Mongols.
119
00:09:51,830 --> 00:09:55,200
The man they now call Genghis Khan.
120
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Genghis Khan?
121
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:06,500
We Merkits have long skirmished
with the Mongols.
122
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:10,980
They've deprived us
of many of our family and riches,
123
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:13,180
as we have done the same in kind.
124
00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:20,140
But that changed with TemĂĽjin as leader,
and the balance of the steppe was lost.
125
00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:25,210
The reason you were given away
to become the wife of an old man like me
126
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:28,060
was for the sake of our alliance
against the Mongols.
127
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,010
However...
128
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,320
The end may finally be near.
129
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,640
Say, Brother. What will become of us
if we lose to the Mongols?
130
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,760
You need to ask? They'll slaughter the men
and take the women and children.
131
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:47,330
I'm scared. I don't want to die.
132
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:50,560
Fool. And you call yourself a Merkit man?
133
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:00,930
Usun.
134
00:11:00,930 --> 00:11:02,190
Usun.
135
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,620
Usun. The word for the "flowing river."
136
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:09,520
The title bestowed by the earth
upon Father in his role as a kam.
137
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:13,990
Listen well. No one is to intrude
until I have finished.
138
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:19,230
I shall beseech the spirits
to tell me our future.
139
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:27,550
Spirits, lift me up to the heavens.
140
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:30,510
Show me what lies in our future.
141
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:52,810
Usun!
142
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,090
Khulan, are you there?
143
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:02,140
I'm right here, Father.
144
00:13:02,660 --> 00:13:05,140
I saw a lush steppe.
145
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:08,890
A river branching and feeding into many.
146
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,180
And when I followed the river
to its source,
147
00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:17,480
atop a mountain as tall as the heavens,
I found a pure riverhead.
148
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,680
The rivers are bloodlines
of the steppe people.
149
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:25,770
This signifies that Mongol progeny
will spread across the land.
150
00:13:25,770 --> 00:13:26,660
You mean...
151
00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:29,370
We will lose to the Mongols.
152
00:13:32,060 --> 00:13:35,630
Does that mean we'll all be killed?
153
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:38,090
No, I won't let that happen.
154
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:40,910
This is what the spirits say.
155
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:44,530
The Merkit blood will live on
even after we surrender to the Mongols.
156
00:13:44,530 --> 00:13:47,950
Will Genghis Khan really show us mercy?
157
00:13:48,330 --> 00:13:53,350
We'll have to give appropriate tribute
in exchange, of course.
158
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,960
A pure riverhead.
159
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,070
I shall offer my daughter to Genghis Khan.
160
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:00,850
Khulan.
161
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,450
You mustn't!
162
00:14:03,980 --> 00:14:06,160
I won't allow you to offer up
Khulan as sacrifice!
163
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,330
She's a human with her own mind and will!
164
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:11,550
Not a gemstone or a fur pelt!
165
00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:17,660
She's not like me.
166
00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:21,970
Töregene.
167
00:14:21,970 --> 00:14:24,780
Thank you, but I'll be fine.
168
00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:26,440
Khulan?
169
00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:31,360
I'm happy, Father.
170
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,560
I've always resented my womanhood,
requiring others to protect me.
171
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,770
But now I can serve as the arrow
that will protect all of you.
172
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,570
You're...
173
00:14:41,570 --> 00:14:43,660
We Merkits are masters of the bow.
174
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,260
Watch as a daughter of the Mergen people
takes down a wolf.
175
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,460
And so, we surrendered to the Mongols.
176
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:05,800
Khulan severed the long chains of enmity
that had bound the Mongols and Merkits,
177
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,060
saving many Merkit lives.
178
00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:18,900
Qultuqan and the other Merkit tribes,
however, chose defiance to the very end,
179
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:21,100
fleeing westwards.
180
00:15:25,580 --> 00:15:27,280
That should be everyone.
181
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200
Why did you summon us all?
182
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:31,280
There are only young girls here.
183
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,010
Are you Dayir Usun?
184
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:38,040
We serve Prince Ă–gedei,
the third son of the Khan.
185
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,750
Our role is at the rear of the army,
keeping watch over the supplies.
186
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:44,890
Sounds like I can rest assured, then.
187
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:47,220
These women are in your hands now.
188
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:48,550
Chieftain Dayir?
189
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,020
We've decided to hand all of you
over to Mongol nobles.
190
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,060
No!
191
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:57,140
Töregene.
192
00:15:57,140 --> 00:15:58,940
Listen up, all of you.
193
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:02,890
The Mongols have spared us
our lives, and no more.
194
00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:06,240
They haven't forgiven us
for our past confrontations.
195
00:16:06,670 --> 00:16:09,240
We are sure to be reduced to slaves.
196
00:16:09,650 --> 00:16:11,660
But you girls are different.
197
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,980
Life is just beginning for you.
198
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:17,150
Go and find happiness.
199
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:20,580
You there.
200
00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:23,550
Make sure you tell your prince
and your Khan this:
201
00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:27,220
These women are no longer Merkits
from here on out.
202
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:29,030
Now and forevermore.
203
00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:30,930
I-I'll pass it on.
204
00:16:33,630 --> 00:16:35,180
Töregene.
205
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:37,040
Open your hand.
206
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:43,980
It's a jada stone.
207
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:46,130
You can call forth storms with it.
208
00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:51,110
This is all I have to offer you
as a parting gift.
209
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:55,620
I really enjoyed having you in my home.
210
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Farewell.
211
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,060
Live on with a smile on your face.
212
00:17:10,820 --> 00:17:14,430
It was eerily quiet that night.
213
00:17:17,130 --> 00:17:18,920
Ready the horses! Hurry!
214
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,120
R-Right away!
215
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,700
The sky was burning. Soaked in blood.
216
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,490
An unearthly sight the likes of which
I had never seen before.
217
00:17:32,490 --> 00:17:34,200
What's happening?
218
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,330
A rebellion. The captives
have dug in on the mountain.
219
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,660
Prince Ă–gedei's army
is moving in now to subdue them.
220
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:42,750
That accursed Dayir Usun.
221
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:45,590
You can never take Merkits at their word.
222
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:46,940
Out of my way!
223
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,430
Chuu!
224
00:17:48,430 --> 00:17:49,670
H-Hey! Wait!
225
00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:57,470
Yes, even when the Mongols
had shown them forgiveness...
226
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:03,660
They had never once forgiven the Mongols.
227
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,940
We are hunters of the forest.
228
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:09,980
We will never be the slaves
of lowly sheep herders.
229
00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:12,950
Go and find happiness.
230
00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:15,870
Were those words a lie as well?
231
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:19,330
No, I'm certain he'd truly meant them.
232
00:18:20,170 --> 00:18:23,730
Which is why he hadn't told me anything.
233
00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:31,310
However, Chieftain Dayir
made one grave oversight.
234
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:38,170
He failed to see just
how much I loved him.
235
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:52,520
Oh, I see.
236
00:18:53,580 --> 00:18:57,210
I'd forgotten a kam's soul
can rise to the heavens.
237
00:18:58,110 --> 00:19:01,810
I only aided its escape
by puncturing his body.
238
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:05,300
A red river in the sky, huh?
239
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:11,720
Who are you?
240
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:19,280
What are you doing here?
241
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:22,670
The rebellion was put down all too easily.
242
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:28,740
I later found out they'd killed Qultuqan
and all the others.
243
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,700
And upon Genghis Khan's return,
Khulan learned of the rebellion as well.
244
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,410
When she heard the news...
245
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:46,500
My father brought his fate
upon himself with his folly.
246
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:50,650
None can tarnish the majesty of the Khan.
247
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,800
Khulan, how could you
wear a smile back then?
248
00:19:57,430 --> 00:20:01,520
After that, I was made Ă–gedei's wife
and allowed to live.
249
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,170
I gave birth to his children as well.
250
00:20:10,430 --> 00:20:12,860
Time passed by peacefully.
251
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,570
Yet all that time...
252
00:20:17,210 --> 00:20:22,160
I've been waiting for a storm
that will ravage this empire.
253
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,560
I saved you earlier because of your smile.
254
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:30,380
I saw Khulan from that day in you.
255
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:32,380
After all this time, I now understand.
256
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:35,880
How sad and powerless
she must have felt underneath it.
257
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,880
But she fully understood
what her own role was.
258
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:45,390
Back then, I should've known exactly
how she was feeling, and yet...
259
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:49,270
So?
260
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,480
Who are you, really?
261
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,610
I'm...
262
00:20:54,510 --> 00:20:55,580
It matters not.
263
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,640
{\an8}Regardless of who you may be, you can't—
264
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,690
Princess Sorghaghtani told me...
265
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:02,490
Prince Tolui and the Great Kha'an.
266
00:21:02,490 --> 00:21:06,580
The imbalance between military power
and authority is sure to bring misfortune.
267
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,620
In other words, the empire
has never been frailer than it is now.
268
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:11,830
You're...
269
00:21:14,260 --> 00:21:17,260
My name is Sitara. I'm a slave.
270
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:23,220
The Mongol army killed my mistress
and stole her precious book.
271
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:28,020
My final duty to her should have been
to get her book back, and yet...
272
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:31,790
The thought that blind resistance
could cause further tragedy...
273
00:21:32,380 --> 00:21:36,230
That fear has caused me
to lead a life without purpose.
274
00:21:36,910 --> 00:21:39,780
But this must be the moment
I've been waiting for.
275
00:21:41,370 --> 00:21:43,660
What could we possibly
hope to accomplish?
276
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,830
I have knowledge.
277
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:57,250
Let me serve you
as your new jada stone, Highness.
278
00:21:58,260 --> 00:22:01,170
Please lend me your power.
279
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Let the two of us summon a storm.
