Fight enemies to the end.

And never betray your khan.

You're letting an enemy go free.

I'm letting a brother go free.

Now you're Khan and I'm at your feet. Are you happy?
Temudjin:
I forgive you, brother.

It's too late. I'll always be a rock in your boot.
Jamukha:
I want to ask you: All Mongols fear the thunder... but not you?
Temudjin:
I had no place to hide from the thunder... so I wasn't afraid anymore.
Temudjin:
Come closer, old man.
Old Man:

Temudjin:

Old Man:
You won't forgive any of us.
