00:00:12 THE PRIMORDIAL RUS
00:00:19 After the book of the same name
00:00:43 Ratibor!
00:00:47 Ratibor.
00:00:49 Son.
00:00:50 Don't hit, don't wake the earth.
00:00:52 Let it rest.
00:00:54 Spring is coming.
00:00:56 In Spring the earth will wake up,
00:00:58 give birth to berries, grain,
00:01:00 wonderful flowers.
00:01:02 It'll give birth to everything.
00:01:04 Throw the twig away.
00:01:05 No.
00:01:07 Look, son.
00:01:09 This snow, these rivers,
00:01:13 forests with our ancestor's spirits, -
00:01:16 all that together is like...
00:01:18 a living tree.
00:01:20 And our land is
00:01:24 and we need strong arms
00:01:35 We have our customs,
00:01:39 father's percepts and eternal heritage,
00:01:43 and the prothetic dream
00:01:48 and whisper of grass in Spring
00:01:54 And the rustle of our cereal in furrows,
00:01:58 made by the hand of Ross,
00:02:01 and the horse's noise,
00:02:04 and the scream of the birds -
00:02:07 all ours
00:02:10 is here.
00:02:14 Here are your Gods and brothers.
00:02:17 We are Perun's army,
00:02:19 we're clan's strength,
00:02:21 strength of the ross speech,
00:02:23 its sword and shield.
00:02:26 Do you want to be with us, Ratibor?
00:02:28 Yes.
00:02:30 Prepare to take the oath.
00:03:04 Our father fire,
00:03:06 you're a fire to all fires.
00:03:07 The way you burn
00:03:10 the roots of a moist oak.
00:03:13 So burn me, if I should
00:03:21 6th century.
00:03:26 Episode one.
00:04:09 Ey-hey-hey-hey!
00:04:15 Krok!
00:04:19 Lead the herd to the lakes.
00:04:27 Torop, let's help him.
00:05:38 The horses need water.
00:05:44 The water is clean.
00:05:49 Not deep.
00:05:51 Good for crossing the river.
00:08:28 Krok.
00:08:30 Alarm the guards.
00:08:31 Khazars.
00:08:49 We are a border land,
00:08:51 Ours are behind us and on the sides.
00:08:53 But in front of us is the steppe.
00:08:55 That's why, Vseslav,
00:08:56 we can't go on living like that,
00:08:59 relying only on our strength.
00:09:02 So, harden it.
00:09:07 You are right, father.
00:09:09 It's time to unite the tribes,
00:09:14 to build an army out of all clans.
00:09:16 We can't resist on our own.
00:09:21 But how to achieve that?
00:09:23 The Ilvichi and Vyatichi
00:09:29 And I can't find an agreement
00:09:32 Don't get mad, son.
00:09:36 Work with other Slavs together,
00:09:39 the ones who agree with you.
00:09:41 And when the knyazs
00:09:45 then we'll make a final decision.
00:09:50 Since the times of Homer and Herodot
00:09:53 [Byzantium - 532 AD]
00:09:56 [Byzantium - 532 AD]
00:10:01 I, Procopio de Cesarea,
00:10:05 want to tell you about the life
00:10:08 the ones, who the roman
00:10:12 couldn't force into slavery
00:10:17 I want to know,
00:10:18 what's going on in the empire
00:10:22 Everything is ok in the empire, Devine.
00:10:24 People are glorifying you.
00:10:26 But I gave and order to send
00:10:30 let them reveal the unsatisfied ones.
00:10:32 Three have already been revealed.
00:10:34 The handicraftsman Diamed, drunk,
00:10:38 - Two crosses.
00:10:41 The citizen Malkh is
00:10:45 Further, the peasant Far
00:10:49 A dash. Execute.
00:10:51 Execute.
00:10:52 But isn't that too gruesome?
00:10:57 Your Highness, it's magnanimous
00:11:00 that's human nature.
00:11:02 But to not spare the innocent ones -
00:11:04 that shows real greatness.
00:11:07 It doesn't matter
00:11:09 Important is, that all are afraid.
00:11:11 There is no good and evil,
00:11:13 only benefit to the Divine or harm.
00:11:16 Because Basileus is
00:11:19 From where grows another threat?
00:11:21 I assume not from the west.
00:11:23 Goths, that conquered Italy,
00:11:25 in the east we keep the Persians
00:11:29 Only the north is saving
00:11:33 My man has returned
00:11:36 What news does he bring?
00:11:38 He says they have
00:11:41 and these tribes - Slavs, Anty,
00:11:44 aren't ruled by one man,
00:11:48 Oh, democracy.
00:11:51 Anty... Anty, anty.
00:11:54 You can hear the root of
00:11:58 Or is that "anti" in Greek?
00:12:01 Anti.
00:12:02 Against.
00:12:06 Against me?
00:12:10 Proceed.
00:12:12 So, they're trying to
00:12:14 They don't know of destiny,
00:12:15 that destiny has any
00:12:19 Oh, that's interesting.
00:12:25 I'm their destiny!
00:12:35 Trebnya, maybe we should
00:12:40 The empire needs subjects,
00:12:44 Yes, my Lord.
00:12:45 The Slavs must be reminded,
00:12:49 and their lifes are not in their hands.
00:12:53 And what do you think?
00:12:55 Just like you.
00:13:18 Just... like you.
00:13:24 I'm pleased with you today.
00:13:44 How was your morning, Dear?
00:13:49 Go.
00:13:53 I was discussing the empire affairs.
00:13:56 And what was...
00:13:59 my Uncomparable doing?
00:14:06 - You're looking good today.
00:14:11 My love,
00:14:17 I spoke with the patriarch Epifaniy.
00:14:20 And?
00:14:21 He wants to send bishop
00:14:27 I think, that barbarians need
00:14:34 And only after that the
00:14:36 Yes.
00:14:37 Well, maybe you're right.
00:14:40 My laws protect the
00:14:43 even the Slavic lands,
00:14:45 to be processed.
00:14:47 Slavs, Anty, love earth, work and...
00:14:53 freedom.
00:14:55 I'm content to have such subjects.
00:14:59 I'll save them
00:15:01 from wildness.
00:15:02 But only I will rule
00:15:09 You have the right to,
00:15:20 Today in the afternoon,
00:15:22 the disobedient ones
00:15:25 I wouldn't want to wait for you.
00:15:38 Be hasty, my love.
00:15:45 I'll be.
00:15:47 By the order of the God's chosen
00:15:51 for murder - Nicolaus from Kefania,
00:15:55 for heresy - Malkh from Frakia,
00:15:58 and the citizen Far for
00:16:07 All three will be executed
00:16:25 Everyone will be punished
00:16:29 like Nicolaus,
00:16:32 because of Ponifiliy's murder,
00:16:37 And what is he guilty of?
00:16:39 Great Lord, have mercy.
00:16:43 I'm innocent,
00:16:45 I have five children.
00:16:48 I hid half a bag of bread
00:16:51 for my children.
00:16:55 The Wisest.
00:16:57 Let him live.
00:16:59 I've been reported, that
00:17:09 Murderer!
00:17:11 Jesus Christ, if you're kind,
00:17:14 why do you allow evil?
00:17:18 Have mercy!
00:17:21 The Great has chosen.
00:17:23 So shall it be!
00:17:32 Guards, stop them!
00:17:34 Stop! Bring the condemned
00:17:45 - Stop!
00:17:47 Ask for mercy.
00:17:50 Basileus! The Great!
00:17:53 Have mercy on the unlucky man.
00:17:56 - Like God himself just did.
00:18:04 Out of the temple!
00:18:06 - Dog without origin!
00:18:10 Brothers!
00:18:12 You'll get the penalty,
00:18:18 Stop the mutiny!
00:18:20 Go back to your houses!
00:18:22 Murderer!
00:18:39 Go. Go!
00:18:44 Go!
00:19:20 Be ready, everyone.
00:20:08 Gane, why worrying?
00:20:12 Khan Gamsol will love you.
00:20:15 Your life will be better.
00:20:54 The Ross got away!
00:21:10 Good evening.
00:21:16 She's wounded.
00:21:19 A Khazarian woman?!
00:21:26 I'm begging you.
00:21:27 Please, help, I need her.
00:21:43 - Knife.
00:21:44 Give me a knife.
00:22:31 Ratibor, she won't live.
00:22:33 She will, Velimudr!
00:22:35 Help!
00:22:45 Hasn't Ratibor returned
00:22:48 Not yet.
00:22:49 The women have found this.
00:22:59 A good arrow.
00:23:02 A new one.
00:23:05 The guests have arrived.
00:23:08 A Khazarian one.
00:23:11 Here are the news from the steppe.
00:23:15 Patrol!
00:23:19 Where did they find it?
00:23:21 On the haymaking.
00:23:27 Khazars.
00:23:29 They're at the Sweet Stream.
00:23:32 Didn't Krok report back?
00:23:35 Krok didn't show himself.
00:23:39 Krasa, give me a drink.
00:23:43 How many were there?
00:23:46 There are many horses.
00:23:47 There are saddled and reserved horses.
00:23:50 Judging from the herd and the fires,
00:23:55 Yes.
00:23:57 The steppe has come.
00:24:02 Anything else?
00:24:05 That's all.
00:24:17 Torop, gather troops.
00:24:22 They didn't come for nothing.
00:24:37 A-a-a, urus!! Urus!
00:25:24 What do you have?
00:25:27 Say.
00:25:29 Your son, Ratibor, hides a Khazarian
00:25:37 Differences.
00:25:43 The earth will releave the people
00:25:50 She will go on the funeral fire.
00:25:55 I won't let her be buried.
00:25:59 She will wait for me there.
00:26:02 Velimudr!
00:26:03 Allow it, please.
00:26:06 Well, be it your way.
00:26:41 Papa.
00:26:46 The Khazars came with a mission.
00:26:49 For investigation.
00:26:51 And found the evil.
00:26:53 A stranger on the funeral fire!
00:26:56 That never happened before.
00:26:58 To put a Khazar together
00:28:55 Lord, we are surrounded!
00:28:58 The rebels killed all guards,
00:29:00 and are storming the palace.
00:29:03 They've gone cracy.
00:29:08 Lord, save us!
00:29:21 We want to hear the opinions
00:29:25 Should we stay in the palace
00:29:29 or depart
00:29:31 and tame the peple from outside?
00:29:38 You.
00:29:39 The legions went over to the rebels.
00:29:41 We are defenseless.
00:29:44 You.
00:29:45 The prisons are burned down.
00:29:53 The streets are full of armed people.
00:29:56 Understand, it's too dangerous
00:29:59 Speak.
00:30:00 I'm for departing.
00:30:03 - Lord!
00:30:05 We're all ready to die for you.
00:30:09 But I'm for departing.
00:30:11 Lord, run.
00:30:13 The galleys are ready.
00:30:15 It's only temporary.
00:30:18 Divine, believe me,
00:30:20 it won't be a departure.
00:30:23 It will be a temporary absence.
00:30:32 Feodora, Feodora.
00:30:36 I believe, that
00:30:38 it's excessive to argue
00:30:42 for a woman to be brave,
00:30:44 while the men remain in uncertainty.
00:30:49 Many have said:
00:30:51 "Departure, temporary absence".
00:30:55 I'll say it straight.
00:30:58 Flight!
00:31:02 And I think, that
00:31:04 fleeing is the worst option,
00:31:08 even if it saves our lifes
00:31:11 Even though we can't avoid death.
00:31:17 The one, who once ruled,
00:31:21 cannot bear being an exile.
00:31:31 So...
00:31:32 run, Divine, run,
00:31:36 if you wish.
00:31:37 You have mountains of gold,
00:31:41 The sea is open to all winds.
00:31:46 But after that,
00:31:48 you would prefer death
00:31:51 to such a rescue.
00:31:55 I'm staying.
00:32:02 The purple of power -
00:32:04 is the best shroud.
00:32:26 What's your idea?
00:32:28 I called for Ipatiy,
00:32:32 - He'll be here shortly.
00:32:36 The people need a leader.
00:32:38 We'll give them a leader.
00:32:40 Let him unite them
00:32:42 and lead them to
00:32:52 We're staying.
00:33:05 - Trebnya.
00:33:13 Order your people
00:33:16 to call Ipatiy, my nephew,
00:33:19 Basileus.
00:33:22 Yes, yes, yes.
00:33:26 Let the city know it by morning.
00:33:29 Let them write on walls Ipatiy.
00:33:31 Ipatiy will be Basileus.
00:33:34 I want it that way.
00:34:01 Krasa, be healthy and young.
00:34:04 Oh.
00:34:05 Mother Aneya!
00:34:07 - I was telling fortunes.
00:34:10 The children are big.
00:34:12 Go and play.
00:34:14 Sit down and rest.
00:34:17 Sit down.
00:34:19 Try some bred with salt.
00:34:22 I wasn't here for a long time.
00:34:26 - Where is Vseslav?
00:34:28 On patrol, rattling swords.
00:34:34 Again.
00:34:36 I got lucky again.
00:34:39 - I was telling fortunes.
00:34:46 You'll give birth to a boy.
00:34:51 Aneya?
00:34:58 Are you healthy, Aneyushka?
00:35:02 I have a difficult task for you.
00:35:08 Krasa, bring some cold water.
00:35:22 Something wrong at your house?
00:35:24 My house is alright.
00:35:26 Then why did you come?
00:35:28 My son, Ratibor, lost his brain!
00:35:31 Why is that, he is one of
00:35:33 That's not the problem.
00:35:35 It's time for him to marry,
00:35:37 but he doesn't want to.
00:35:40 He doesn't want to take
00:35:42 Then find another one,
00:35:47 He'll get fired up -
00:35:50 Remember, how you once loved?
00:35:53 - Aneyushka.
00:35:55 I won't forget the young you.
00:35:57 You're a father,
00:35:59 and I'm a mother.
00:36:01 I don't have a husband,
00:36:04 The impossible is happening.
00:36:06 Do it!
00:36:07 I think, that Ratibor...
00:36:09 - ...searches for his death.
00:36:17 Do it!
00:36:19 He likes that Khazarian woman.
00:36:34 Help me!
00:36:35 So that he won't become
00:36:37 So that our seed isn't wasted in him.
00:36:42 What a...
00:36:44 You're right.
00:36:48 She bewitched him,
00:36:52 Be quiet, that's enough!
00:37:00 It's alright.
00:37:04 Not a word to anybody.
00:37:11 We won't break him,
00:37:13 but bend him.
00:37:18 Ratibor!
00:37:28 Vseslav is calling for you.
00:37:34 Inhale after parrying the sword.
00:37:36 Don't break the formation!
00:37:48 I heard you don't want to marry.
00:37:51 The Khazarian woman?
00:37:54 She is not among the living.
00:37:56 You can't change that.
00:38:01 - I love her.
00:38:06 Love is a creator.
00:38:08 And what will your love create?
00:38:11 It won't give birth to anything,
00:38:13 like a ploughed up earth
00:38:18 Our clan has raised you?
00:38:21 I taught you to hold a weapon,
00:38:23 to be strong.
00:38:27 Now you have to help us,
00:38:29 to continue the Slavic blood.
00:38:36 You was a son, you'll be a father.
00:38:41 And no one can exchange you.
00:38:44 That's all.
00:39:10 My friend.
00:39:12 You've come.
00:39:15 - I'm happy to see you in good health.
00:39:20 Nephew.
00:39:22 My nephew, Ipatiy.
00:39:25 People's voice - God's voice.
00:39:28 The people want you.
00:39:30 That's your destiny.
00:39:33 I'm old. I'm not worthy of the diadem.
00:39:37 Well, well.
00:39:40 Well, calm down.
00:39:45 - The empire is dying.
00:39:47 - Save it.
00:39:50 You can.
00:39:51 You're a son of the empire.
00:39:55 You're young. You can do it.
00:39:57 You can.
00:39:59 - No, I don't want to.
00:40:02 - No! No! No!
00:40:04 - You have a future.
00:40:06 - Save it!
00:40:08 - Look, you're cut out to do it!
00:40:10 - Look.
00:40:12 Come here!
00:40:13 - Glory to the new Basileus!
00:40:16 - Glory to Ipatiy!
00:40:19 Glory! Glory!
00:40:22 - Ipatiy, save us!
00:40:24 Save us!
00:40:26 Save us, Ipatiy!
00:40:28 Save us, save us!
00:40:30 Kiss the sandals!
00:40:32 - Basileus!
00:40:37 Have mercy, he'll be killed.
00:40:39 He'll die, and so will we!
00:40:42 Have mercy on my children!
00:40:44 - Glory to Ipatiy, the Basileus!
00:40:46 Let the diadem be on Ipatiy's head.
00:40:51 - Glory to the new Basileus Ipatiy!
00:40:56 Ipatiy Basileus to the tower.
00:40:59 We want to hear,
00:41:03 - Ipatiy to the tower
00:41:09 - Ipatiy to the tower.
00:41:11 - Glory! Glory!
00:41:20 Johann!
00:41:24 Ipatiy lead the rebels to the city square.
00:41:27 Johann!
00:41:34 Ipatiy miraculous got out alive.
00:41:39 My Basileus,
00:41:42 He lead the people to the bull's place.
00:41:44 - Where is the man?
00:41:46 - Who did he speak to?
00:41:48 Wonderful.
00:41:52 Ipatiy will serve out bread!
00:41:56 Johann! Johann!
00:41:59 Let Ipatiy hear our demands.
00:42:03 Ipatiy is a good Basileus!
00:42:05 Velizariy, the people gathered
00:42:09 All of the rebels.
00:42:12 They're waiting for my resignation.
00:42:15 Velizariy.
00:42:17 Take my remaining men,
00:42:20 help Ipatiy to stop the mutiny.
00:42:23 You are a son of the empire, Velizariy.
00:42:28 The luck is before you!
00:42:30 Take it!
00:42:37 Velizariy.
00:42:57 Velizariy.
00:43:06 Velizariy!
00:43:15 What's that?
00:43:18 You're my old friend.
00:43:22 Velizariy.
00:43:26 For the imperator.
00:43:52 Procopio, don't condemn me.
00:43:54 You have to understand me.
00:43:56 I love my people!
00:43:58 This whole horror is for
00:44:02 Don't look at me like that.
00:44:04 You're wise, you'll write only the truth.
00:44:06 Understand, old man!
00:44:07 The people are at fault.
00:44:12 Ipatiy, good morning.
00:44:16 Please.
00:44:18 - So...
00:44:20 Did your wish came true?
00:44:21 Yes, it's alright,
00:44:25 Your loyal acting blinded
00:44:31 The fortune helped us
00:44:33 - Godlike.
00:44:36 Why did Ipteus
00:44:38 act so slow, with his power?
00:44:41 Yes, right,
00:44:42 Why did you allow the people
00:44:45 Who did that to you?
00:44:49 Those beasts.
00:44:51 Why did they this?
00:44:59 Go.
00:45:07 Basileus is breaking his promise.
00:45:11 Go!
00:45:48 Oh, you poor man.
00:45:53 You decided to take advantage of the mutiny
00:45:55 to become a Basileus.
00:45:58 You see how it turned out.
00:46:01 Well, goodby, smart guy.
00:46:04 Goodby.
00:46:09 How could you, Ipteus?
00:46:13 How dared you?
00:47:47 A pig to the young ones.
00:47:55 Let's go!
00:47:58 Let's go!
00:48:01 Who wants a baked pig?
00:48:06 Who wants a pig?
00:48:22 Who wants a baked pig?
00:48:36 To grieve about something
00:48:39 A secret I'll never understand.
00:48:42 Don't be sad, Aneyushka.
00:48:44 Ratibor will get used to Mlava.
00:48:47 An arm gets used to the sword,
00:48:49 a body to the weight of armour,
00:48:54 Good wedding, Knyaz.
00:48:56 - Good luck.
00:48:59 Drink to the health of the newlywed ones.
00:49:03 Did something happen?
00:49:05 Roman ships near the Torzhok-island.
00:49:09 We're asking you, Vseslav,
00:49:14 My troops, why?
00:49:16 Trading doesn't concern me.
00:49:19 Seven Springs ago Knyaz of the Krivichi
00:49:23 was almost killed.
00:49:25 And they gave him bad goods.
00:49:27 Is it far?
00:49:29 Two days away,
00:49:36 That's it, Belyai.
00:49:37 Prepare the ships.
00:49:40 I'm also going to take
00:49:42 And who will be the
00:49:45 I choose Ratibor.
00:49:47 Can you handle it?
00:49:50 Vseslav,
00:49:54 take me with you, please.
00:49:58 Well, good people.
00:50:01 It's time for bed.
00:50:03 And the newlyd ones - for fair business.
00:52:52 You deceived me,
00:52:57 You decided to laugh at us.
00:53:02 Mlava will go back home.
00:53:08 You bring shame to our clan.
00:53:14 Well?
00:53:16 You hear that? The last cockerels.
00:53:55 Don't come near me!
00:53:58 Don't come closer!
00:55:28 Eating forbidden food again?
00:55:38 A glutton. Oh, God.
00:55:49 I was a legionary,
00:55:51 taught grammar to people in Alexandria.
00:55:54 I was ascetic, following the Mani teachings.
00:55:57 For that I was condemned,
00:56:00 But the guard sold me
00:56:03 I heared, that heresy is dead evil.
00:56:07 Evil.
00:56:09 Call him for me.
00:56:11 We, of heresy, don't call our teacher "Love",
00:56:13 like you, christians.
00:56:16 Jesus was a good man.
00:56:19 Slave, you talk too much.
00:56:22 Go, go.
00:56:25 Bishop Demetriy is calling for you.
00:56:27 Go.
00:56:33 This chistian is confused in his thoughts,
00:56:36 because of incomplete knowledge
00:56:40 Release him.
00:56:56 I heared everything.
00:57:00 But I can keep my mouth shut.
00:57:03 I need a competent man.
00:57:05 I hope you'll repent
00:57:11 Freedom costs much.
00:57:13 Teach me what to do.
00:57:17 I'm sailing to the Slavs.
00:57:20 On the way after Jesus Christ,
00:57:24 will strengthen Basileus' might
00:57:26 and the second Rom will be eternal.
00:57:29 And for your help in the
00:57:32 you'll get freedom.
00:57:36 I agree.
00:57:42 To lose such a slave.
00:57:50 Why isn't there any wind?!
00:58:09 Why don't you like this fur?
00:58:11 Take another one?
00:58:16 Take it.
00:58:17 - You want to look?
00:58:20 Good, quality honey.
00:58:22 - How sweet.
00:58:26 From this year.
00:58:28 The sweetness lasts in your
00:58:31 Oh, how sweet.
00:58:33 - Wax, clean and new.
00:58:37 Pearls, pearls, come here.
00:58:40 6 kun, 6 kun
00:58:43 - 6 kun, 6 kun.
00:58:45 4!
00:58:47 We have a deal?
00:58:49 A deal.
00:58:52 I'm taking this, this,
00:58:55 Like that. Okay.
00:58:56 3. You know, 3.
00:58:58 So. So.
00:59:00 This...
00:59:05 well...
00:59:07 3.
00:59:09 3 handfuls of salt.
00:59:10 Okay. I take it.
00:59:12 For that... 2 handfuls.
00:59:14 For the fox, 3.
00:59:19 3.
00:59:20 4, 4, 4.
00:59:22 4 handfuls.
00:59:23 This and this...
00:59:25 This isn't good, but I take it.
00:59:27 This also, this also.
00:59:30 Don't touch it.
00:59:33 4. 1, 1, 1 and 1.
00:59:36 So, we have 11 handuls of salt in all.
00:59:39 Hey.
00:59:40 Don't offend me.
00:59:52 Throw the knife away!
00:59:56 What are you doing?
00:59:58 - Captain, help!
00:59:59 - Look at what your men are doing!
01:00:01 - Look at that!
01:00:03 Go to your ships!
01:00:05 - Captain, you promised...
01:00:09 - Load your grain!
01:00:14 See, Golub, one
01:00:20 Load, come on, load the grain.
01:00:22 - Poor out!
01:00:27 So, you're saying, should I accept your belief,
01:00:31 I would go to heaven?
01:00:34 Yes.
01:00:36 Be christened and you'll be saved.
01:00:40 And our ancestors?
01:00:42 Our Mothers, Fathers, Grandfathers,
01:00:46 Where are they, in heaven?
01:00:47 No.
01:00:49 They're in hell.
01:00:50 Burning forever.
01:00:53 Be quick to accept the True Belief.
01:00:56 No one knows his final hour.
01:00:59 God himself is speaking with you
01:01:03 Be quick, otherwise - hell, fire
01:01:07 and the end to all of you.
01:01:10 Consider thinking before speaking.
01:01:13 My ancestors
01:01:15 lived fair.
01:01:17 What is their sin?
01:01:19 I spoke
01:01:22 about God's rage,
01:01:24 considering saving your souls.
01:01:27 You misunderstood me.
01:01:31 Allow me to stay with you,
01:01:34 speak to you,
01:01:35 And you'll want the Christ's
01:01:39 Well... everything has its time.
01:01:43 Everyone should belief
01:01:47 And different beliefs don't
01:01:54 Hey! Hey!
01:02:03 Who wants honey?
01:02:05 Who wants wax?
01:02:07 Fresh honey, Romans, come closer.
01:02:10 Good honey.
01:02:14 Try it, man.
01:02:17 I'm grateful to you,
01:02:20 You saved... protected a man.
01:02:24 I'm Malkh. Malkh.
01:02:27 - You?
01:02:35 - What origin are you?
01:02:38 You look like... Wait.
01:02:43 You look like...
01:02:45 Here.
01:02:46 Like the God of Warriors
01:02:48 Ares-Mars. He's the son of Zeus.
01:02:50 Look, you look alike.
01:02:55 I was also a warrior.
01:02:57 I was fighting for the empire.
01:02:58 Then I quit.
01:03:00 It's a long story.
01:03:01 Our imperator prohibited all Gods,
01:03:04 What's a barbarian doing here?
01:03:09 While I, the unworthy, am trying
01:03:11 to enlighten the pagans,
01:03:14 you, slave, instead of helping me
01:03:19 satanic speeches and images.
01:03:23 Forgive me.
01:03:25 God is merciful, but horrific tests
01:03:29 Forgive me.
01:03:30 You'll be blinded,
01:03:33 you'll loose your tongue.
01:03:35 - Forgive me.
01:03:38 that it won't happen.
01:03:39 Forgive me.
01:03:51 - Forgive me.
01:03:54 Here, take it. Take it.
01:04:03 You're a slave?
01:04:06 That Roman is your master?
01:04:10 He offended you.
01:04:14 No Rossich would bear such humiliation.
01:04:18 I'll bring back your God.
01:04:43 Take it.
01:04:45 You can have it.
01:05:34 I invited you to express my thanks.
01:05:41 You'll possess gold,
01:05:44 food, weapons, loyal men.
01:05:49 but not to torment the empire
01:05:52 with your raids.
01:05:54 It's time to start a war with the Slavs.
01:06:06 Malkh!
01:06:09 Demetriy isn't happy with you.
01:06:13 He is very angry at you.
01:06:16 You helped badly preaching
01:06:23 I'll tell you
01:06:25 something I shouldn't.
01:06:28 Demetriy asked me
01:06:30 to chain you before
01:06:31 we go on land,
01:06:33 and give you to the archons.
01:06:40 Run.
01:07:47 I'm free. I'm free!
01:08:32 Don't kill me!
01:08:34 Russich!
01:08:37 Ratibor! I'm Malkh, remember?
01:08:39 Torzhok-island.
01:08:41 Ares-Mars. Well?
01:08:43 - Roman?
01:08:44 Malkh.
01:08:53 O, o-o-o.
01:08:57 - Mother...
01:09:02 Kolot, give me a hand!
01:09:08 Oh...
01:09:13 You're ready, my dear.
01:09:16 - Glory to Rod, our God.
01:09:19 - Bear it.
01:09:27 Now, take your fur coat off.
01:09:31 - Yes.
01:09:34 - Well?
01:09:46 Heart from the stone,
01:09:48 body from the finger,
01:09:53 We're burning, we're burning!
01:09:55 Fire, we're burning!
01:09:58 A-a-a-aa!
01:10:02 A-a-a-a-a!
01:10:10 Fire.
01:10:12 We're burning.
01:10:14 We're burning! Fire!
01:10:16 - We're burning! Fire!
01:10:20 Run to Ratibor,
01:10:21 tell him - he's got a son!
01:10:23 Ratibor!
01:10:25 Ratibor!
01:10:26 Ratibor!
01:10:29 - Ratibor!
01:10:31 Ratibor!
01:10:32 Ratibor, come quickly.
01:10:34 Your wife gave birth to a son.
01:10:52 A son.
01:11:31 Grandchildren of Slaven, Scythian and Ross.
01:11:34 I'm speaking to you.
01:11:37 Traditionally every clan
01:11:44 Vseslav decided to change
01:11:48 and wants, that the elders
01:11:50 give warriors
01:11:53 for the border patrol.
01:11:56 What will we decide?
01:12:04 Vseslav
01:12:06 thought out
01:12:09 something unheard.
01:12:12 Never did the tribes,
01:12:15 mix their troops.
01:12:18 Defended together - yes.
01:12:22 Yes!
01:12:24 And every group
01:12:26 went into battle with its own captain.
01:12:32 One strong army
01:12:34 will take our freedom.
01:12:38 And people need freedom.
01:12:41 Freedom, to exchange it for
01:12:43 We need freedom!
01:12:46 Priest, allow Roman to speak.
01:12:49 Let him speak.
01:12:50 Malkh, you're allowed to speak.
01:12:52 Roman!
01:12:54 Come here!
01:13:01 Tell them all.
01:13:02 Tell them, what you know
01:13:05 I heard from the merchants,
01:13:07 that Basileus is a friend of the Khazars.
01:13:11 The khans are often invited
01:13:14 That is well known.
01:13:15 On the way to Ros' I saw
01:13:18 I saw it myself.
01:13:19 Let the Rossichs speak.
01:13:22 Speak.
01:13:23 The Ilvichi have
01:13:26 1243 men.
01:13:28 The Kanichi have 578 men.
01:13:32 He counted all.
01:13:34 Looks like he sent a man to count.
01:13:36 So, the Ilvichi
01:13:40 have five times more men than
01:13:44 But they don't give any men for patrol.
01:13:47 I'm asking: give me some men,
01:13:49 under the united Ross army
01:13:51 the plowman won't be troubled anymore,
01:13:54 if he or the nomad will harvest the crop.
01:13:58 You use cunning, Vseslav,
01:14:00 You want to get power
01:14:02 - We're not timid.
01:14:04 - He's a stranger.
01:14:06 We mustn't believe.
01:14:08 You'll recollect Vseslav's words
01:14:12 Khazars came in summer.
01:14:15 To investigate.
01:14:17 Looking for resting places.
01:14:20 Who will send their men
01:14:31 It's decided, Vseslav.
01:14:33 Half of the clans
01:14:36 give you their men.
01:14:43 Halt.
01:14:46 The Spring is comming.
01:14:48 Khazars will come or not,
01:14:51 but we need to plough and sow.
01:14:53 I'm busy with ploughing.
01:14:55 I won't give you any warriors,
01:14:57 Don't allow our blood to die.
01:15:00 I feel it - the disaster is coming.
01:15:02 I said enough.
01:15:04 My warriors aren't worse than yours.
01:15:06 Clear the road.
01:15:07 Is that so? Look at you,
01:15:10 I'm fat?
01:15:20 Let's ring our swords.
01:15:29 Let's ring.
01:15:45 I can't waste my iron on you.
01:15:51 Not worse... than my, you say?
01:16:05 I'll wait for you men
01:16:07 I'll send them to you.
01:16:38 Saddle the horses.
01:16:41 Khazars.
01:17:26 End of the first episode.
00:00:06 Episode two.
00:00:10 I'm Chemota, from the Vyatichi,
00:00:12 Chemota, you'll stay at the ford.
00:00:14 Goroboi sent us.
00:00:16 Glory to knyaz Goroboi.
00:00:18 - Cross the Ros'-River.
00:00:20 Out of 10 clans only 6 gave warriors.
00:00:23 Vseslav, Muzhilo didn't send anyone.
00:00:25 A backstabbing from our own kind,
00:00:28 like from strangers.
00:00:29 Kolob from the patrol.
00:00:31 Did you count?
00:00:32 Many!
00:00:34 I could go crazy counting them all.
00:00:36 About 1500
00:00:38 and this one.
00:00:43 How many are you?
00:00:45 What are your plans?
00:00:48 Malkh, ask him.
00:01:03 Heat the spear.
00:01:15 Three khans are leading
00:01:20 Khan Sunika Ermiya,
00:01:26 khan Egan Saol
00:01:31 and khan Shamoel Zarol.
00:01:33 Pride to our brothers,
00:01:36 who have come to share
00:01:40 Shame on the knyazs and captains,
00:01:43 who didn't send warriors.
00:01:46 Our grandfathers and fathers
00:01:50 Let us stay strong and not
00:01:53 Let them damn their God,
00:01:55 because he lead them to the Ross lands!
00:01:58 - Ros'!
00:02:17 Rus!
00:02:19 Rus!
00:02:22 Take and read it.
00:02:42 Malkh.
00:02:45 Translate, it's written in Khazarian.
00:02:51 If you, Ross khan,
00:02:52 can resist our army,
00:02:56 fight us.
00:02:58 If you think you're weaker,
00:03:00 come to us for negotiations,
00:03:03 to your lord,
00:03:06 in a sign of obedience and submission.
00:03:09 Vseslav.
00:03:12 Torop!
00:03:21 Har, har, har!
00:03:28 Take our answer to your khan.
00:03:42 Rus gave gifts worthy of you,
00:03:52 Strange gifts.
00:03:58 What's happening with the Slavs?
00:04:01 Find out!
00:04:08 Great khan!
00:04:09 They're conjuring their horses before battle.
00:04:13 Rus looks at us with contempt.
00:04:16 And these strange gifts.
00:04:18 Something is wrong.
00:04:21 They're not afraid of us,
00:04:24 We won't start today.
00:04:40 The enemy leaves us its
00:04:44 The mouse lives in the earth.
00:04:48 The frog in the water.
00:04:50 And the bird - like a horse.
00:04:54 And the arrows?
00:04:58 They're putting down their weapons.
00:05:01 These gifts have another meaning.
00:05:06 They want us to fly away like a bird,
00:05:10 hide in the earth like a mouse,
00:05:13 hide in the water like a frog.
00:05:16 Otherwise...
00:05:18 these arrows will kill us.
00:05:21 Egan Saol!
00:05:23 You'll cross the river near
00:05:30 Shamoel Zaraol!
00:05:32 You'll cross the river on lower land,
00:05:37 And I'll
00:05:39 be staying here.
00:05:47 What do you have?
00:05:49 Three divisions of Khazars stand before us.
00:05:53 I can see it by the smoke.
00:05:58 Three divisions,
00:06:00 or one,
00:06:02 doesn't make a difference.
00:06:04 Vseslav ordered you,
00:06:06 from young to old,
00:06:07 to flee into the forest.
00:06:09 Don't expect any help.
00:06:12 We are few.
00:06:13 Leave the city.
00:06:21 Mother!
00:06:23 Mlava!
00:06:27 Mlava!
00:06:31 My love.
00:06:33 My love.
00:06:35 Where is mother?
00:06:36 Somewhere around here.
00:06:45 Sonny.
00:06:50 Flee into the forest.
00:06:52 Flee.
00:06:54 No, wait!
00:06:57 Let me remember you.
00:07:01 Go, be quick.
00:07:03 You'll die if they find you alone.
00:07:07 My dear!
00:07:10 Take care, my dear!
00:07:17 I pledge to you.
00:07:18 If we die, take a new wife.
00:07:23 Who will go into the woods?
00:07:29 This land
00:07:31 is ours.
00:07:35 It's not the Ross way
00:07:38 to flee from every problem
00:07:42 A big disaster is coming.
00:07:46 But we mustn't allow our
00:07:53 We have to defend the city together.
00:07:57 I believe, good people,
00:07:59 Vseslav will come to help us.
00:08:01 Well.
00:08:04 Then, it's decided.
00:08:17 I need to weed the area between the Gods.
00:08:20 But there's no time.
00:08:28 I'll show you!
00:08:31 Old man.
00:08:34 You're arguing with Svarog.
00:08:36 Aren't you afraid?
00:08:40 He is the father of us all.
00:08:43 And relatives can have
00:08:46 We have to
00:08:48 secure the tables and
00:08:51 Write.
00:08:53 Yesterday, knyaz Goroboi
00:08:56 resigned from his post.
00:08:59 Resigned
00:09:01 from his post:
00:09:03 "I don't want," - he is saying, -
00:09:07 with my helpless old age...
00:09:09 Let the young ones...
00:09:12 learn how to stand for the clan".
00:09:15 For the clan... Finished?
00:09:17 Vseslav!
00:09:18 There is 1/3 of the Khazarian army,
00:09:21 Vseslav, the Khazars crossed the Ros' River.
00:09:23 Below the Ilvichian border.
00:09:26 They're also crossing the
00:09:29 They want to fight us divided.
00:09:32 We haven't the strength to start the war.
00:09:35 The Khazars are over 3000.
00:09:38 We have six times fewer warriors.
00:09:41 Well.
00:09:43 We'll save the small strength
00:09:47 We retreat as planned!
00:09:50 We retreat!
00:10:15 The Rossichs are running without fighting.
00:10:19 I would have acted the same after
00:10:24 That Rossich-khan wants to save
00:10:29 We won't hurry.
00:10:31 The Slavs have no strength.
00:10:34 Khan Shamoel Zarol and Egan Saol
00:10:37 will conquer their cities and come back.
00:10:40 Then we'll attack the troops together.
00:10:48 Hear my order.
00:10:50 You, Ratibor, take half ot the army at night
00:10:52 and intercept the khan,
00:10:55 You, Pavich,
00:10:57 make many fires near the walls.
00:11:00 We have to keep the Khazars here.
00:11:04 Let the khan think, that here hides
00:11:07 the whole Ross army.
00:11:11 Aha.
00:11:13 We lost the path.
00:11:15 Be quiet. Silence!
00:11:20 After me.
00:11:23 Malusha. Malusha.
00:11:25 Quickly, hide the tables and
00:11:28 Quickly. Do it.
00:11:48 He spoiled the sacred place.
00:11:50 Perun, punish him with your thunderbolts.
00:11:53 Praying?
00:12:13 Burn everything down!
00:12:20 Burn the Ross Gods!
00:14:34 Mlava, run to my house and hide there.
00:14:49 My khan, we're ready for the
00:14:53 The whole Rus army is
00:14:56 All of them?
00:14:58 Yes, my khan.
00:15:32 Help, people! Help!
00:15:41 Khazarian bastards!
00:16:03 Neighbor, make it quick.
00:16:07 Quickly.
00:16:08 Mother, I won't go without you.
00:16:10 Mother, save yourself!
00:16:12 I'm staying.
00:16:17 Mother!
00:16:18 You heard me. Go, my dear, go!
00:16:22 Save my grandchild.
00:18:18 Quickly, quickly.
00:18:33 Quiet, sonny, quiet.
00:18:37 If we barricaded good,
00:18:41 And if badly, then
00:18:49 A-a-a!
00:18:55 What was that?
00:18:57 The burnt house fell down.
00:19:00 - That's it.
00:19:02 Now we can't get out of here.
00:19:34 No, no, I won't go!
00:19:36 Don't touch me!
00:19:39 Lada, save me!
00:19:41 Mama! Mama!
00:19:56 We have to get out.
00:19:58 We'll die here.
00:20:02 We'll choke.
00:20:05 You think, we should go out?
00:20:06 No.
00:20:09 Into the city, to the Khazars?
00:20:12 No.
00:20:21 Through the side.
00:20:26 Don't cry, good boy.
00:21:06 Rus! Rus! Rus!
00:21:10 Rus.
00:21:16 - Take your weapons!
00:21:19 Give me a horse!
00:21:43 While khan is planning,
00:21:46 I'll go and help Ratibor.
00:21:51 You are the new captain here.
00:22:08 Torop! Catch the khan!
00:22:17 Ratibor! Cover me!
00:22:33 - I want to drink!
00:23:04 Sleep.
00:23:06 All of them sleep.
00:23:09 She's also sleeping.
00:23:11 Get up, Milava, get up.
00:23:15 Let's go gather flowers.
00:23:36 Murderer!
00:23:38 Nasty beast!
00:23:40 - Let me go!
00:23:43 Let me go!
00:23:45 - Lyubava, it's me.
00:23:48 The sky is crying!
00:24:08 Show the khan
00:24:10 and the famous Khazars our honour
00:24:36 A-a-a-a-a!
00:24:44 That's it.
00:24:47 That's it.
00:24:53 All in vain.
00:24:56 I can't anymore.
00:24:59 - We won't make it.
00:25:02 We saved the Ross children
00:25:04 from the Khazarian arrows.
00:25:07 The clan lives.
00:25:09 Be quiet.
00:26:01 Vseslav!
00:26:09 Don't let the khan escape!
00:26:39 We are going back!
00:26:49 They died. Khan Shamoel Zaroel
00:26:54 and all of his warriors.
00:26:58 That's all.
00:27:01 The all died?
00:27:03 All, my khan.
00:27:09 You're lying.
00:27:12 Coward!
00:27:14 You ran from the first waving
00:27:19 I'm not lying.
00:27:27 Away!
00:28:24 The Khazars are ready to attack,
00:28:25 but, it seems, they're leaving.
00:28:29 Vseslav!
00:28:30 Vseslav.
00:28:31 - Urus! Hey, urus!
00:28:34 The khan has come out.
00:28:36 Come to us.
00:28:37 - They are unarmed.
00:28:39 Urus!
00:28:41 Malkh, you're coming with us.
00:28:42 Come, come!
00:28:44 Let's hear what they have to say.
00:28:46 My khan, powerful and glourious,
00:28:48 of the clan Sunika Ermiya,
00:28:50 wants to speak to you.
00:28:59 I, Sunik Ermiya,
00:29:02 want to return to the steppe.
00:29:06 I'm have no anger towards you.
00:29:09 I didn't do evil to you.
00:29:11 And what did you make the ladders for?
00:29:13 I changed my mind.
00:29:17 You want to go without fighting?
00:29:21 Go.
00:29:23 We're happy to resolve everything peacefully.
00:29:27 Lay down your arms and
00:29:30 that you,
00:29:32 your children, grandchildren,
00:29:34 won't ever come with
00:29:36 One cannot live in the steppe without a weapon.
00:29:39 I don't know,
00:29:41 how the Gods will lead
00:29:44 my children and grandchildren.
00:29:47 Nothing happens without the will of God.
00:29:52 Did you attack us by your own will
00:29:54 or the will of your God?
00:30:05 We know,
00:30:06 not God, but the Romans sent
00:30:09 ambassadors to the Khazars.
00:30:11 We, Khazars, have contact with many.
00:30:15 We have contact with the Romans.
00:30:17 The one loses face, who
00:30:21 The other khans went from
00:30:24 and, by the will of God, died there.
00:30:28 Your brothers died by our will,
00:30:31 You attacked us!
00:30:32 Destroyed our cities, killed our people!
00:30:35 You burned down the images
00:30:39 He doesn't swear, that
00:30:47 I'll give you redemption.
00:30:49 The commanders of Basileus
00:30:52 and we go away peacefully.
00:30:54 There is no shame to it.
00:30:56 There is glory.
00:30:58 You use cunning, khan.
00:31:01 Cunning.
00:31:02 You came to fight.
00:31:05 We'll fight.
00:31:10 I'll do everything,
00:31:13 so that everyone of you
00:31:19 will remember and
00:31:22 "Don't go to Ros',
00:31:25 there lives the Khazarian death".
00:31:49 Vseslav.
00:31:51 Khan still has strength.
00:31:53 We're equal in power,
00:31:55 The steppe is dry.
00:31:57 - And the wind is on our side.
00:32:01 Dubok.
00:32:02 Go ahead before the Khazars,
00:32:05 cover up the wells and water sources.
00:32:07 You, Ratibor, are going after the khan.
00:32:13 Don't go into close fight!
00:32:17 There are some rumors
00:32:20 about a knyaz Vseslav.
00:32:23 That Slav crushed our mercenaries,
00:32:26 If he succeeds in uniting
00:32:29 we won't be able to
00:32:34 It's impossible to unite the barbarians.
00:32:36 I heard, that the Slavs don't
00:32:40 And hate each other.
00:32:45 Well?
00:32:46 I plan to send
00:32:48 a reliable man
00:32:51 to the barbarians.
00:32:55 I hope he will be of use to us.
00:33:24 We're with you now,
00:33:28 With you!
00:33:29 - Glory to you!
00:33:31 - Glory to the winners!
00:33:35 The Khazars were screaming
00:33:37 they became wild of the
00:33:40 and they are gone.
00:33:41 And for that, glory to you!
00:33:43 Glory to you! Glory!
00:33:46 Glory!
00:34:34 Alive!
00:34:36 My beloved one!
00:35:10 It's alright.
00:35:17 E-hey!
00:35:20 Is your knyaz, Vseslav, at home?
00:35:28 And who are you?
00:35:30 I'm the messenger
00:35:32 I bring a message to your knyaz
00:35:40 Let it be, you'll be hurt.
00:35:43 Beast.
00:35:45 I like you, Vseslav.
00:35:48 After getting to know you,
00:35:50 of a great commander and ruler.
00:35:52 I'll say it straight.
00:35:55 weaklings longed for the
00:35:57 They took it.
00:35:59 The knyazs in Ros' aren't fair to you.
00:36:04 You crushed the Khazars,
00:36:07 but you're a mere warrior,
00:36:11 You pity me, why?
00:36:14 - Because...
00:36:16 Sit down.
00:36:18 Treat the guests.
00:36:20 So, the empire
00:36:23 offers to help me
00:36:26 or the Slavic kind?
00:36:28 We, Romans, are always ready
00:36:30 to help a good neighbor
00:36:32 I thought, that you had enough
00:36:35 And Basileus, we heard, is more
00:36:39 And spreading indignation
00:36:42 - No.
00:36:43 The empire has always wanted a
00:36:47 Our merchants trade with you
00:36:50 We're not friends with the Khazars.
00:36:52 I give you my word, it's the truth.
00:36:54 The Khazars are cruel and betraying.
00:36:56 And your name is well known now.
00:36:58 Basileus wants to hire your warriors.
00:37:02 We need some good warriors.
00:37:04 You'll be paid well.
00:37:06 You have my thanks.
00:37:08 For your friendship - my friendship.
00:37:11 We have our own problems.
00:37:13 Tell that to him.
00:37:24 I wish to drink wine with you.
00:37:35 For our friendship and
00:37:40 For the vicotry!
00:37:53 Accept it from the Basileus.
00:37:57 It's for you and your people.
00:38:21 By the words of the ancient pagans,
00:38:26 I wish you...
00:38:28 us...
00:38:29 let the destiny bring us death
00:38:35 For the victories!
00:38:36 For the victories!
00:38:38 For the victories.
00:38:52 Take this cup.
00:38:54 As a sign of respect and love.
00:39:07 Expect news in winter,
00:39:39 Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:39:52 Who are you?
00:39:53 I'm you.
00:39:56 Hasn't the sun risen yet?
00:39:58 No, Vseslav, not yet.
00:40:01 Why are you lying?
00:40:03 Get up.
00:40:09 Get up. Let's go.
00:40:12 You're a warrior.
00:41:14 Go. Your horse is waiting for you.
00:42:07 Revenge!
00:42:09 Our land raises warriors
00:42:12 not for revenge,
00:42:16 We'll take revenge for
00:42:19 We must resolve everything peacefully.
00:42:23 Not by splitting someones blood.
00:42:27 We mustn't forgive the evil!
00:42:30 Mustn't!
00:42:32 We mustn't indulge the enemy!
00:42:34 The Romans may consider it our weakness.
00:42:37 The Romans' land is big,
00:42:42 For the sake of our children
00:42:44 let the Romans see our measure!
00:42:48 I give you my men!
00:42:50 Me too.
00:42:51 - Lead us.
00:42:54 I appreciate your trust, knyazs.
00:42:57 If peace depends on the Roman ruler,
00:43:00 then we'll go to him.
00:43:06 You'll send a messenger at night.
00:43:08 Report: Slavs,
00:43:12 on horses,
00:43:16 But they are much fewer.
00:43:18 The more of them, the
00:43:20 We'll get much gold, if we
00:43:23 Think.
00:43:25 We only need to hold them
00:43:28 The army of Velizariy will
00:43:30 Golub! Go and speak to
00:43:35 You know what I'm talking about?
00:43:38 After me!
00:43:45 Make fires!
00:43:50 Ratibor!
00:43:51 - 1200 crossed the river.
00:43:55 Look! They noticed us.
00:44:02 Be it plague or hunger, but the barbarians
00:44:08 Ratibor, we have a messenger.
00:44:19 I'm Rekilla Golub.
00:44:22 You crossed the sacred
00:44:24 You'll see the sword of punishment.
00:44:27 We want to confirm, if you
00:44:31 Barbarian, you are probably
00:44:34 Make yourself at home!
00:44:37 In ten days
00:44:40 you'll be rewarded.
00:44:43 For now I can only give
00:44:47 How many men did you
00:44:51 Trading.
00:44:55 Not interested?
00:44:56 Know, that the sacred Justinianic
00:44:59 and blood...
00:45:01 You recognised me, Golub?
00:45:04 Torzhok-island...
00:45:08 Ratibor.
00:45:11 Well, Ratibor, you should know,
00:45:14 that nobody has ever conquered these walls.
00:45:17 And there is no other way into the empire.
00:45:19 Tomorrow at noon
00:45:21 you'll open the gate
00:45:24 and let my warriors pass.
00:45:27 Otherwise we'll do it ourselves.
00:45:31 Everyone receives 10 golden
00:45:35 We'll crush these barbarians!
00:45:38 Nika!
00:45:40 Nika! Nika! Nika!
00:45:53 The Roman said, that nobody
00:45:59 A problem.
00:46:00 Nobody except us.
00:46:04 It's high.
00:46:08 They don't expect us from the sea side.
00:46:14 Then I'll go that way.
00:46:19 Go.
00:46:21 I'll go.
00:46:27 Why not? Go.
00:46:30 Try to break through the gate.
00:46:33 I'll distract them.
00:47:26 Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:47:28 How stupid!
00:47:30 They want to break through
00:47:34 Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:47:35 Stupid!
00:47:38 Savages without the knowledge of beauty.
00:47:41 Climb here, climb the wall.
00:47:44 Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:48:20 Marksmen get ready!
00:49:11 Cavalry to the gate!
00:49:19 Ratibor!
00:49:34 Ratibor!
00:49:36 1200 went through the fortress and
00:49:40 We're waiting for you.
00:49:43 Let us alone.
00:49:46 We meet again.
00:49:48 You, servant of your empire,
00:49:53 It's harvesting time.
00:49:56 this time we came.
00:49:57 Your victory... doesn't mean anything.
00:50:00 Pray before death,
00:50:03 it's your custom.
00:50:05 Remember the warrior Vseslav,
00:50:10 Have mercy.
00:50:17 I'm...
00:50:19 rich...
00:50:21 How much do you want?
00:50:24 The empire is eternal,
00:50:27 But I... can be of use...
00:50:30 to you!
00:51:26 With few men we are standing
00:51:28 Don't bring shame
00:51:30 to the Slavic land!
00:51:33 Our bones will rest here!
00:51:36 The dead don't feel any disgrace.
00:52:07 What's happening?
00:52:09 The barbarians have gone crazy.
00:52:11 They are getting...
00:52:13 ready for death.
00:52:33 We'll pay much for the victory
00:52:36 This is the will of the imperator.
00:52:40 Good. We begin.
00:52:43 Go and fight any of them.
00:52:46 Why me?
00:52:48 Then take the army
00:52:51 and bring victory.
00:52:53 This is not my duty.
00:52:54 And my duty is to keep the army
00:52:57 and its pride.
00:52:59 This group of barbarians is dangerous!
00:53:29 A-a-a.
00:53:37 Well?
00:53:39 Divine, the army of...
00:53:42 Velizariy blocked the barbarians' way
00:53:46 and was ready to fight,
00:53:48 but a storm came.
00:53:51 The mercenaries started to grumble,
00:53:52 and Velizariy changed his decision...
00:53:54 Why?
00:53:57 Help him.
00:53:59 A-a-a-a!
00:54:07 Velizariy may have thought, that
00:54:10 we, intelligent people,
00:54:12 don't need to test the craziness of people,
00:54:15 who are despaired in life.
00:54:16 This occurrence can lead
00:54:19 Velizariy is a brave and experienced
00:54:22 but he may think, that our victory
00:54:24 enemy's retreat.
00:54:29 We are dancing on the blade's edge.
00:54:32 But, if the barbarians break through,
00:54:34 they can get help from,
00:54:38 We're safe from the sea side.
00:54:43 The walls and towers are
00:54:45 Divine, I don't think...
00:54:47 It's time to start.
00:54:50 What do you suggest?
00:54:53 We must take away their reason
00:54:56 Don't let them, by all means,
00:55:06 Justinians relation to the nordic Slavs
00:55:09 lead to a storm,
00:55:11 that shaked the ground of the empire
00:55:15 to its highest top.
00:55:18 For several days, the armies
00:55:23 were standing against each other,
00:55:25 without fighting.
00:55:30 Who is the Slavic knyaz?
00:55:40 Basileus Justinian is amazed at your
00:55:45 He's admiring you.
00:55:48 I'm ordered to give to you
00:55:50 a decree about peace and friendship.
00:55:54 Let's be friends, Rossich,
00:55:56 let's love each other
00:55:58 from the bottom of our hearts.
00:56:01 Let us prevent, that
00:56:05 someone from our subjects
00:56:07 would make evil deeds.
00:56:11 We'll try with all our strength,
00:56:16 throughout centuries,
00:56:17 to keep love and peace with you,
00:56:21 confirmed by our oaths,
00:56:23 by our word,
00:56:25 and by this writing.
00:56:28 I'm also ordered to tell you,
00:56:30 that the empire doesn't want
00:56:34 And we're willing to pay a contribution
00:56:36 at the border.
00:56:38 The suggested
00:56:42 peace,
00:56:44 and the oath,
00:56:46 confirmed by this writing,
00:56:50 we accept.
00:56:53 We're going to Ros'!
00:56:55 Let the barbarians through!
