Original subtitles

Do you still like red roses, Mara?

Do you remember the flowers in Acapulco?

That rainbow carpet that moved along the river?

Only when they came close did we see they were boats.

Real floating gardens.

The whole river smelled of them.

We said, "See you tomorrow."

That was three years ago.

-But you still came. -Like that.

We agreed when either of us went like that… the other would come.

I need you.

You left me by a river full of flowers and said, "See you tomorrow,"

with no explanation or letter for three years,

and now you say you need me?

No, that's unfair.

I never stopped needing you. Never.

You left, Mara, and since then you gave me no sign of life.

-I couldn't. -Why? What stopped you?

Thank you.

When we were in Acapulco,

you went to Mexico City. Remember?

You were working for the Americans.

Of course. Uranium prospecting.

No. Your real work, for the CIA.

What does that have to do with this?

Have you ever heard of the Consortium?

The Consortium of the Minds?

I know something about them,

something so serious, it could get me killed.

The Consortium of the Minds never wanted to kill anyone.

I know. The Consortium members are not evil.

They're generous people who want to serve humanity.

I knew one of them well.

His name was Otto Heisner.

He was a good, shy man,

who wore glasses and a Panama hat.

He was also a scholar of great integrity

who did not want science to be used for evil.

I wanted to take you to Otto Heisner. I wanted you to help us…

But he was killed.

He was the only friend I had left

and he was stabbed in the back this morning right in front of my eyes.

We can't stay here.

A friend lent me his villa by the sea near Yalova. You'll be safe there.

I won't be safe anywhere. He'll find me wherever I go.

Who? Professor Saroghu?

You know my husband?

I saw Professor Saroghu's wedding announcement in the society pages.

You looked very beautiful in the photograph, Mara.

You're still mad at me.

Saroghu was very good to me. He helped me and protected me.

Listen to me, Mara.

You called and I came 4,500 miles to meet you.

But if you want my help tell me what you're afraid of.

Do you know what I did when I got your letter?

I nearly threw it away, but then I saw the stamps:

Paris, Conakry, Panama, Bogota…

It was as if you had called me from across the world, so I came.

I want to help, but tell me what you're afraid of.

I'm not only afraid for myself, Francis.

Imagine this city filled with destruction and death, an entire city

reduced to dust, with its buildings, palaces, museums,

temples and domes,

2,000 years of human history wiped out.

The second death of Byzantium.

"The seventh time, the trumpets sounded

"and the walls of Jericho collapsed."

One day soon the trumpets will sound for Istanbul

and the city will disappear into the water.

Mara…

You don't believe me? I'm not crazy, Francis.

If you'd met Professor Heisner, he could have convinced you.

I'm sure you'd believe him.

But they killed him.

I believe you, Mara.

I'll help you.

That scent… Can you smell it?

The flowers of Acapulco.

Look out!

Mara!

Don't speak. Don't say anything.

Who are you?

-Where are we? -I'm Yasmine.

This house belongs to Malek,

the bear tamer.

Malek?

He's my grandfather.

You speak good French.

I learned from the nuns.

Then my parents died,

so I had to come back here

to take care of my little brother Özbek and my grandfather.

Did you call the police?

No. My grandfather would never call the police.

You have a bad knife wound on your arm. You need a doctor.

-Hurry, Özbek… -No, wait.

I have a friend, Abdul Mascar, on Rue Nourizia.

Abdul Mascar, Rue Nourizia.

Okay.

What do you want?

There's a man who fell. You need to come right away.

Go away. I have work to do.

His name is Francis.

Francis? Francis Coplan?

Why didn't he come himself? What's wrong with him?

He fell and said, "Go get Mr. Mascar."

Come on, then. Move.

-Hurry, Mr. Mascar. -Okay, just a second.

This man can't stay here. He needs help.

I can take care of him!

That won't be enough, I'm afraid.

I have to follow up with shots and treatment.

I can't come back here every day.

A clinic is too risky.

Can't you help me? This man needs to hide.

Not here, anyway.

Then my place is the only solution.

Have a seat.

Leave us alone, girls. We have business to discuss.

You shouldn't have gotten up.

Where's my stuff? I must go.

Yes, you do. You have to go right away.

I have orders.

That's impossible.

It's that or the Emniyet.

The Emniyet? I don't care about the secret police.

I can see you don't know Lieutenant Sakki.

With him, it's life or bamboo. Most often, it's bamboo.

Life or bamboo?

You wouldn't understand. That's an expression in Cayenne.

It's like malaria. Once you get it, it stays with you.

Over there in Saint-Laurent

they'd dig graves behind the bamboo.

So when you couldn't escape through the swamps or stayed too long,

you wouldn't live.

You'd end up

in the bamboo. You get it?

So you lived.

Obviously, as I'm here.

But not like the others. He got me out of prison.

-You're surprised? -Yes.

It wasn't philanthropy.

It was the beginning of the war,

and he needed agents in the Middle East.

Morally, I have the Legion of Honor, but I'm not going back to France.

-You don't miss it? -Me? Why would I?

I'm somebody here.

I'm respected.

Mr. Mascar,

taxidermist. I have a shop on a very nice street.

Rue Nourizia is better than the center of Menin, isn't it?

Don't you get it? I have to do what the old man says.

I have to. Tomorrow you're going on a plane to Paris.

No. That's impossible.

I have something I need to do, and no one can stop me. Not even you.

Listen, my friend. You called me and I came, right?

I'm happy to do my best for you, but no more.

Don't put me in a tough situation.

I once saw you in a tough situation, Mascar.

I'm the one who got you out.

I haven't forgotten.

The felucca and the machine gun.

I see you trying to play me for sympathy.

Is that the price of gratitude and friendship?

No.

Listen, Coplan.

There are favors you can't ask.

Not even of me.

These are my goddaughters.

Fatih is my most trusted informant.

Some people use camouflaged recorders

and microphones hidden in olives. Why make it so complicated?

There's no need. Look at her.

When you have such beautiful eyes to see with

and such a pretty mouth to repeat with…

I'm glad you came to your senses, believe me.

It's much better this way. Goodbye.

Mr. Mascar,

don't keep telling me you don't know Mr. Coplan.

We saw you with him at the airport this morning.

But if you know he got on a plane why ask where he is?

He didn't go to Paris.

I bought his ticket myself!

You said it, I didn't.

Mr. Coplan went to the plane with the other passengers

and then took advantage of the crowd

to come back, driving a baggage cart.

He's running around Istanbul and you know it, Mr. Mascar.

-No! I just… -Mr. Mascar!

You're not talking to just anyone.

You're talking to Lieutenant Sakki, of the Emniyet.

I know, believe me. But…

People like you take security officials for idiots.

-Not at all! -People like you, Mr. Mascar,

take Turkey for an open field you can endlessly steal from

under the noses of the stupefied police.

Well, it's not!

Istanbul, hub of spies.

Secret missions in Ankara.

Shadows over the Bosphorus.

We're tired of that colorful reputation

and that erroneous folklore.

We merely tolerate people like you. Don't abuse our patience.

You are…

a taxidermist.

A taxidermist.

It's the learned name for someone who stuffs animals.

It's a meticulous trade that requires a lot of…

I know.

You travel a lot, Mr. Mascar.

Your trips are pretty eventful for an honorable shopkeeper.

You were in Trebizond last month, no?

How strange. A man was killed there at the exact same time.

An Eastern agent.

A coincidence, of course.

Just like it was a coincidence when there was a nighttime gunfight

near the base in Sarıkamış.

Ah! You were in Sarıkamış that day.

On business,

of course.

Do you know they say people walk in here and never walk out?

I think that's a fable, Mr. Mascar.

Look at that file.

It will stay on that desk as long as Mr. Coplan remains in Turkey.

-I need to see Professor Saroghu. -The Professor is not here.

I told you, the Professor is not here!

Let the man in, Gamal.

I thought you were an archaeologist, Professor Saroghu.

Archaeologists look at dead things.

But life, Mr. Coplan…

Life is short. Isn't it fascinating?

How do you know me, Professor?

The way you know your mortal enemy.

The way you know the face of your fate.

You bring misfortune.

I should hate you, sir.

Professor Saroghu, Mara told me there was a threat.

Don't you know that in their prison, prisoners make up

fantasies to match their impossible dreams?

Are you her husband or her jailer?

Neither.

Mara is only a prisoner of herself.

Maybe I should tell you a story, sir.

I only hope it won't make you laugh.

Two years ago,

I was doing an archaeological dig in Upper Egypt.

Do you know the Nubian Desert, Mr. Coplan?

It's a dry, arid place, burnt by the sun.

That's where raiders from Sudan surrounded our small group.

In their eyes, we were sacrilegious infidels,

grave robbers.

My companions were… tortured.

Massacred.

And I was mutilated,

so that now…

When you are just the shadow of a man,

you have to learn to settle.

Mara was incredibly good and sensitive.

Mara is a real woman.

Young, beautiful.

I told her she was free.

She enjoys her freedom from time to time.

But she isn't happy,

and her torment is mine.

It's time for my tea, sir.

Would you have some with me?

The Yağlı, Professor.

Of course, Gamal.

He has the afternoon off.

Gamal is fighting in the Yağlı.

Have you ever been to a public wrestling match?

In truth I haven't had much time for traditional… No, thank you.

Gamal is the strongest wrestler in Istanbul.

He is rarely defeated.

He's as strong as an ox.

Very well. You can go.

You think your wife ran away?

You don't think she could be dead?

What kind of man are you, Mr. Coplan?

No.

I don't think Mara is dead.

I don't want to think that.

Hospitality is sacred here,

but don't abuse it.

Come on, Mascar. Let me go.

You should be thanking me.

I've seen Gamal break a man's back over his knee.

Instead of standing in my way,

if you're my friend, you'll try to help me.

I'm your friend, but you put me in a tough situation.

I know Lieutenant Sakki. You can't lie to him.

-I can explain… -Okay. Come on.

Istanbul in ruins, Ankara destroyed… No one will believe you.

It's a cock-and-bull story.

Is this a cock-and-bull story?

I saw Mara murdered in front of my eyes.

Mascar.

You don't think I just fell off that cliff, do you?

I came across the world to find Mara and now she's dead.

I can't leave without finding out why.

Give me 48 hours, Mascar!

I could say I never saw you today, but…

No longer. Promise?

Forty-eight hours.

Did you know Mrs. Saroghu was taking drugs?

That's not true.

You haven't changed. You want to know everything but you don't want to hear it.

He's a sculptor.

His name is Théler.

Answer me, Donatien de Sade.

Answer those who desire your friendship.

Allow us to speak to you, divine Marquis…

Which of you is Théler?

I am.

I need to speak to you alone. Get rid of your friends.

-The seance is over! Goodbye! -Who the hell are you?

-Go on! Get out of here! -Who is this guy?

Good. Bye.

I'm here to talk about an archaeologist's wife.

What do you want with me?

I don't have much time, Théler. Do you know Mara Saroghu?

She was murdered.

I want to know by whom and why.

I didn't even know she was dead…

I… It pains me to hear that.

Tell me about Mara.

-Did she come here? -Occasionally.

Often?

Fairly.

Why?

Well…

Mara was so beautiful,

as beautiful as a statue in the flesh.

Mara posed for me.

She was an extraordinary model,

especially for me.

An artist always wants

to understand his subject in its entirety.

Every part of Mara's body

was a picture of perfection.

Her shoulders…

Her legs…

Her breasts…

Her hips…

-Her belly… -You're lying!

You're just like the others.

For you the world is simple. It's day or night,

love or hate.

Mara

knew that night and day

can get mixed up,

that you can hate out of love.

You say Mara is dead?

For me she cannot die.

What we had

between us goes far beyond the barriers of death.

Enough!

You're lying. There was nothing between you and Mara!

What do you know?

It was thanks to me that she found Hugo.

Hugo?

Yes. Her brother, Hugo Gernsbach.

But he died three years ago in a laboratory accident.

Mara loved her brother very much.

I taught her how to communicate with Hugo beyond death.

Here, in this studio?

Yes, here.

There are mysteries you can't understand.

Every day,

Mara went to put red roses on her brother's grave.

A simple gesture of affection.

But when she was here,

she communicated with him.

It proves

that some bonds

are stronger than death.

Charity, beyefendi. Charity…

-Where the devil lives, the woman hides. -The woman?

You saw her? Where is she?

The pretty lady took a taxi.

She asked him to take her to the old town.

-And then? -I don't know. I couldn't hear.

Oh!

Now I remember. She said to the caravanserai.

Yes, that's it. Goodbye, beyefendi.

May Allah be with you.

Double scotch.

Do you know McCormick tractors?

Uh… no.

Johnny Lawson,

from Sydney, Australia.

I don't need a tractor right now.

You might one day.

-Okay. I'll hold onto your card, sir. -I've sold tractors

all around the world.

Hey, I knew a girl

who looked just like that one…

Her name was Kathy. Yeah, Kathy.

-And she was amazing… -Yeah, yeah…

-Be careful… -Oh, no…

Don't expect anything from these girls.

They're just looking for suckers.

Excuse me.

Oh, no. It's like you're doing it on purpose!

Excuse me.

Trust

the experience of old Johnny Lawson.

-They're all the same. -In there! There are girls in there!

It's dark in here! And there are no girls!

Open the door!

Open the door!

-Oh! -Sorry.

I didn't hear you knock.

Mara…

My name is Eva. What do you want?

Mara, what happened? Tell me!

You must have had too much champagne, though it's not great here.

-It's amazing. You… -Yes, I know.

I remind you of someone. They all say that.

Listen. If you're here to ask me out, don't.

Someone's expecting me. And the same tomorrow - don't,

because someone will be expecting me tomorrow,

and the next day, and every other day.

Who's expecting you? Théler?

All right, fine… Let's go.

I imagine if I threw you out, you'd come back.

You're Francis Coplan, right?

Mara told me a lot about you.

But she didn't tell you about me.

She never told you

she had a sister, right?

She always wanted to be the only one.

The unique one.

Well, I don't plan on spending the night in this rat hole.

What were you doing in the cemetery today?

Who are you really?

All right.

Come on.

I told you. I'm Mara's sister.

The fallen sister, the black sheep, the shame of the family!

But that doesn't mean I can't put flowers on my brother's grave.

-Open up! What's going on here? -No, that's nothing.

Enough!

Good evening.

Do you know what killed Mara?

Curiosity.

She stuck her nose into something bigger than her

and dragged you into it without caring about the risk to you.

But she's the one who's dead.

Yes, Mara is dead.

You can't do anything for her now, but she can still hurt you.

Mara never loved anyone.

-You're wrong. -Anyone but herself!

She always hurt those who loved her.

Like Saroghu?

Did Saroghu tell you Mara was a monster?

Quite the opposite.

I think he loved her more than anyone could, selflessly.

Saroghu lied to you. He's a lying, twisted man,

consumed by jealousy!

Maybe. But he controlled his jealousy.

What he controls are his reactions.

Saroghu told you what he wanted.

The answers to all your questions were there and you didn't even see them!

What do you know, Eva? Tell me.

I don't know anything.

The master is waiting.

Forget what Mara told you. Forget what I told you.

Leave this country and forget it all.

You were right, Coplan.

Tomorrow it will be too late.

Who was it, Saroghu?

It was the man

I respected most in the world…

It was my friend who had me murdered…

Who, Saroghu?

Hurry! Tell me his name!

Hugo…

Hugo Gernsbach.

Since the accident,

he hasn't been the same.

It's like he changed…

Do you hear that, Coplan?

They laid a trap for you.

They'll accuse you

-of my murder… -Where is Hugo Gernsbach?

The gardens…

You can escape through the gardens.

Answer me, Professor!

Where is Hugo Gernsbach?

Eva…

Eva will tell you.

Lieutenant Sakki, Emniyet.

Let me introduce you to my associate, Inspector Etorki.

Mr. Etorki,

allow me to introduce you to Mr. Francis Coplan,

who we have been so looking forward to meeting.

As you can see, Mr. Coplan is a peaceful businessman

who we just unpleasantly surprised by interrupting

his little nightly walk after dinner.

My arrest is completely arbitrary.

My passport's legal. I've done no crime!

Let's be reasonable. You are accused of murder

and being an honorable foreigner does not exempt you from Turkish law.

You know very well I did not kill Saroghu.

All I know is that we caught you at the crime scene

a few moments after the victim died.

If you are innocent,

I'm sure the court will acquit you. It should only take

five or six months, or a year at most.

Six months or a year?

Don't you realize?

Realize what, Mr. Coplan?

Admit that we've been patient.

And understanding.

If you'd kindly taken the plane to Paris

like we wanted,

you wouldn't be here accused of murder.

Accused of murder!

But apparently,

you have something important to do.

Very important.

Did you ever think what you are looking for might interest us?

Is that an offer?

Not so fast! An offer!

I am just a humble police officer.

My role is to put you in prison, period.

But let's say,

just for argument's sake,

that you were free

and could continue your search.

I wonder…

I'm just thinking…

Note that this is simply hypothetical.

Would you share what you learned with my country's authorities?

Why not, if it's the only way I can get out of here?

Oh, wait…

In the highly unlikely chance that you are freed,

we have no way of knowing

you'll have the courtesy of coming back to inform us of what you learn.

You have my word.

Certainly.

But I'd like to show you something.

Francis!

Francis, will you get us out of here?

There's nothing I can do, Özbek.

They say there is.

They say if you do what they want, we can go.

They say if you don't do what they want, we'll stay in prison.

And Yasmine? Where is your sister Yasmine?

She ran away. She got scared

when she saw them.

Who was she scared of? The police?

No, not the police.

The men who came down from the mountain

looking for you.

What is this about? I'm not sick.

Yes, Mr. Coplan. You're very sick.

So sick that we can't keep you here.

You need to be taken to the hospital. Right, Doctor?

Acute malaria requiring immediate hospitalization.

You will see that we are not barbarians, Mr. Coplan.

All your things are there, even your shoelaces.

I wish you a speedy recovery, Mr. Coplan.

Imbeciles!

You couldn't even guard sheep!

And they sent you to guard an important prisoner,

a dangerous man!

How could you let him get away?

How did he get away?

-How? -He opened the door, Lieutenant.

Of course. What could be simpler?

He opened the door and got away.

Imbeciles!

That door should have been locked!

Who locked the door?

Well, when we…

Who locked the ambulance door?

You did, Lieutenant.

How dare you?

How dare you shift the blame onto your superiors?

How dare you? To the hole!

Immediately! To the hole!

Put them in the hole.

You'll learn honor and discipline, unworthy soldiers.

Delinquents! Criminals!

Hashish smokers!

I need to talk to Eva, the dancer.

There's no Eva here.

I was here last night. You even served me a whisky.

If I had to remember every guy who ordered a whisky…

But I saw Eva here. I talked to her.

Remember? I locked an Australian in the phone booth.

An Australian?

I don't like being mocked. Where is she?

I swear, I don't know her…

You don't know her either?

No, no!

-What do you want? -I'm looking for Eva.

He already told you. There's no Eva here.

I saw her last night in this room!

That's surprising, as we've been here for three weeks.

Tall as three apples

and as great as one man,

we're Tim, Tam and Tom!

Eva, Eva, Eva, Eva

Eva, Eva, Eva

Here. Like this.

Get out! You too, Fatih. Get out!

Take this. Then you won't have to come back.

No more fooling around, Théler. Where is Hugo Gernsbach?

You know he's dead.

Are you insane?

Really? He's dead, is he?

No, stop! Don't do that, please! Have pity, I beg you!

So he's still dead, is he?

I swear! I don't know anything!

Don't make me…

They could kill me.

They could kill you,

but I will kill you if you don't talk.

It's far…

Very far from here…

Very, very far…

In the mountains…

It's near the Syrian border.

It's an old fortress…

Alamut Kalesi.

Coplan came to Théler's.

He threatened him.

Théler was so scared, I'm sure he talked.

Hello? Fatih? Hello!

Explain yourself, you little bitch!

I didn't do anything!

I was just calling a friend.

A friend? We'll see about that!

Hello?

I'd like to speak to Lieutenant Sakki. This is Mr. Mascar.

Hello?

Lieutenant Sakki?

I was trying to reach you all night. Coplan is in danger.

He discovered something terrible. I need to see you immediately.

No, not at your office.

Okay. The ship graveyard.

In five minutes. Okay.

Have you seen Lieutenant Sakki?

Oh… Over there…

Bah…

Have you seen a foreigner?

Bah…

Let's let these short-tempered foreigners do what they like, Etorki.

Within three days they'll all kill each other off.

Is there a castle around here?

Do you speak French?

I'm looking for a castle.

A citadel.

A fortress. Do you understand?

Which castle are you looking for?

I'm looking

for Alamut Kalesi.

Keep going toward the mountains. But it's a deadly road.

The valleys are like traps.

The rocks look like monsters.

There are underground rivers. No smart man

goes into the Devil's Garden.

The Devil's Garden?

It's been called that for centuries.

Why?

Because the devil hunts in those valleys.

No… No!

Théler paid the price for his betrayal.

And the Frenchman?

He'll be here in a few hours.

Why did you let him come?

Out of curiosity.

His persistence fascinates me.

So much courage for such a bad cause.

And his foolish love for Mara.

His absurd quest.

That's what interests me.

This man will lead to your demise.

Others have tried:

Heisner,

Saroghu…

Even you, my dear Carole.

But I gave up. It was a game.

And you know that anywhere else, I would be bored to death.

Here with you

I'm having fun.

You're vain, Carole. Vanity will be the death of the world.

I said you were vain, Carole.

I should have said you were a monster.

A monster? Me?

You surprise me, my dear Hugo.

Why did I allow you to capture that child?

Because she'll be useful to us.

Do you think Coplan will be afraid for himself?

He may not even be aware of the danger.

But for her, yes.

He'll be afraid.

Tomorrow, with your permission,

we'll hold a hunt in the Valley of the Tombs.

The hunters will be even more rabid if they know

such a beautiful trophy awaits them.

How stupid.

Why did they capture him when he was coming to me himself?

Because by coming himself, he was coming as an equal.

That's something he can no longer claim.

I gave the order in your interest.

Francis!

You too, Carole. Leave us alone.

Your courage and persistence fascinate me.

What were you hoping for by coming here?

Before she died,

Mara, your sister, had time to tell me about a threat.

Before he died, Saroghu, your friend,

had time to tell me about you.

He respected your ideals but wanted to persuade you to abandon your plans.

They died because you've become a danger to the world.

A danger to the world?

That's funny.

What I want is peace on earth,

and as long as people like you don't understand, I'll strike!

I'll strike hard!

Like you did in 1943

-at Peenemünde? -You're right.

But when I went to America in 1945,

it was a time of hope for me,

of using science for good.

Do you know what it's like for a scientist to know that narrow-minded generals

are waiting for his every discovery

so they can perfect their power of destruction?

I ended up refusing to work.

I was accused of treason.

I was persecuted and brought before a commission.

And then in 64,

I had the laboratory accident and was irradiated.

Disfigured.

I pretended I was dead. Since then I've lived here

and been preparing a better future for mankind.

You speak like a prophet,

but you have no problem locking an innocent young girl in a cage.

Like an animal.

To persuade our guest to dine with us

I had to assure him that his little protégée was safe.

But he still seems concerned with the child's fate.

Rest assured.

Nothing will happen to Yasmine,

because she's the prize for the hunt.

The hunt?

Don't pay her any mind.

Carole can sometimes be a bit unusual.

I still have not given permission for the hunt.

It depends in part on you, Mr. Coplan.

-Me? -In exchange for your life, I would like

you to agree to work for our cause.

Work for your cause in exchange for my life?

You've done enough harm already.

Even if I approved of your ideas I'd never agree

to such blackmail.

But our cause is good.

Perhaps, but your methods are not.

I'm afraid I was mistaken about you.

You're just a hitman.

What's your price?

Pray you never find out.

Mr. Coplan.

Don't spend too long on the citadel walls.

You can have some strange encounters there.

Mara…

Don't you understand that I'm not Mara?

I'm Eva. I don't want to be anyone other than Eva.

Don't you see that Hugo is mocking you?

That he's having fun at your expense?

He put me on this wall.

He forced me to dye my hair. He's a monster.

But why do you obey him?

He's always had great power over me.

I loved him like more than a brother.

I was passionate about him,

but he always preferred Mara.

He told her everything.

He never told me what's at the bottom

of Snake Tower.

Snake Tower?

The big tower over there.

It's Hugo's. His secret is at the bottom of the tower.

Mara went, but I was never allowed past the last door.

Take me there. I'll get you past the last door.

Come on.

This is it. Hugo's secret is behind this door.

Stop, Coplan!

Or it will be your last move.

You betrayed me again, little sister.

You too, Coplan. You betrayed me.

You'll get what you deserve.

Tomorrow is hunting day in the Valley of the Tombs.

Listen to me, Eva.

I strike out of love.

I'll get out of here.

Tomorrow I'll take you with me.

Tomorrow…

Do you know what's happening tomorrow?

Didn't you hear Hugo say there was going to be a hunt?

He did mention a hunt, yes.

It's a hunt like the Hittites had

almost 3,000 years ago

in a place called the Valley of the Tombs.

You've never heard of the Hittite tradition?

In the Valley of the Tombs, they only hunt one kind of prey.

Humans?

Yes. Humans.

That's why people call this the Devil's Garden.

To please the gods of evil,

four times a year the princess had to hunt the bravest

and strongest man in the kingdom…

and kill him.

I'm not dead yet.

One day, from afar,

someone called me for help. Just like this.

And I came.

I'll save you in spite of yourself, Mara.

I want to know.

I've told you, little sister,

that the secrets at the bottom of the tower are not for you.

They're deadly secrets.

I want to know. Give me the key,

the key to the last door.

Never, Eva!

Never as long

as I live.

You won't be able to keep your secret forever.

Others will steal it from you eventually, Hugo.

You mean that man?

Don't you know that no one has ever come out of the Valley of the Tombs alive?

If he fails, another will come, and then another and another.

And I won't help you against them, Hugo.

Never again.

What I've created is mine. What I love is mine.

In this compromising world, I refuse to compromise.

If my secrets are threatened, if you want to leave me,

I'll stop at nothing.

Hugo…

It takes two hours to cross the Valley of the Tombs,

but crossing it doesn't mean you will get out.

The cliffs are impossible to cross,

and on the other side of the forest,

over there, are the swamps, which will be your grave.

As you can see, the Valley of the Tombs is completely enclosed.

The deer god

was the symbol of games and chance for the Hittites.

Do you know how the princesses then

led the ritual hunts?

The sun will soon rise over those cliffs.

When the symbol of the deer god

is fully lit by its rays,

only then will the hunt be declared open.

Until that moment, no one is allowed to touch you.

There will be no guns.

If you make it out of the valley,

then the world will belong to you.

Coplan!

Hugo!

Hugo Gernsbach!

Hugo Gernsbach!

Mr. Coplan.

Carole's vanity was finally her downfall.

Since you are the winner,

you are free.

You forget why I came.

I won't leave without Eva.

Never.

Halt!

What do you see, Etorki?

Crows.

Crows!

Don't you see the shadows of the soldiers of Bayezid

and Tamerlane?

The god of the mountains, the master of all assassins?

Don't you see the severed heads,

brandished by attackers?

Crows!

Etorki, pyramids of human skulls

were built on those sinister walls.

Alamut Kalesi.

It's the fortress of terror and death.

And desolation.

An eternal threat, eternally opposed.

Now it's up to us

to cut off the dragon's head!

Advance!

You don't want your freedom?

You'll never understand.

You insist on wanting to die, Coplan.

Must I really call my guards?

No, Hugo.

He wants to destroy us, sister!

I came back for you. You're leaving with me.

Let him go, Hugo. Let him go.

I'm begging you, Hugo!

He wants to separate us, sister!

You have to choose, Eva.

Between me and him, and between life and death.

Shoot. Shoot!

Oh, no!

Hugo…

Hugo…

Not the last door…

Eva, come back!

Go to the last door.

No, Eva! Don't open that door!

I told you, little sister…

The last door

is a door to death itself.

Now you know what I felt one day, my poor darling.

It's too late, little sister.

Pandora's box is open.

If you lived,

do you know you'd see the skin on your face

dissolve down to the bone?

Do you know you'd become a monster too?

But why live now?

You've lost everything! Destroyed everything!

Gernsbach, please! Come on!

In a few minutes there will be nothing left of me.

That's how I wanted it!

There will be nothing left

of everything I've created, possessed

and dreamed of in this world!

-No! No! -Close your eyes!

No!

I'm pleased.

I'm pleased with your friendly co-operation.

You were a great help.

In short, it's thanks to you that I will have saved Turkey…

No, not Turkey.

All of humanity

from a kind of monster.

Yes, a kind of monster.

Yasmine!
