- [birds calling]
- [insects chirring]
[Shahsu breathes deeply]
[groans softly]
Grandad?
I thought that you died.
Here I am.
Is this real?
Where'd you go?
You're alright? Tell me, please.
I am.
Just let me take my meds,
and I'll tell you everything.
There's no reason to take those!
I quit taking meds too. Grandad.
Grandad?
[soundscape rises dramatically]
- [squelching]
- [heartbeat pounding]
[distorted gasp]
[gasping shout]
[panting]
What's wrong?
[exhales deeply]
Just a bad dream.
[exhales forcefully]
Why is Mirac angry with Davut, then?
[eerie music builds slowly]
[Maran] Mirac worked for us.
He was a loyal basilisk.
Later we found out
that he was a traitor.
[fly buzzing]
He's lost faith in Shahmaran.
[eerie music fades out]
If he's alive, I'll find your grandpa.
You have my word.
We gotta get through those doors, first.
[sighs]
[whistling in distance]
[whistling]
[distant whistling]
[sharp whistling]
[whistling]
[tense music playing]
Don't worry about them. It's alright.
I'll be back.
You're free to choose,
whichever side you want to pick.
Just behave around this district.
Keep away from my basilisks,
or you'll lose that freedom.
Spread the word.
[tense music swells]
[cell phone beeping]
Yeah, what?
And the men?
They saw him, huh?
We'll see about freedom, then. Later.
[music fades out]
[sniffs]
Why are we stuck on standby?
Huh?
[ominous music playing]
It's my wrath the people are scared of?
As if their lives aren't surrounded by it?
[Cihan] I can't tolerate this.
[breathing shakily]
I'll kill him, I swear.
[rattling hiss]
I'll kill him.
[rattling]
I lived under a well for many centuries.
You know how I made myself survive?
All was darkness.
[electricity crackling]
All was silence.
[soundscape muffles]
[high-pitched tone ringing]
Trapped in the eternal stillness.
[voices echoing]
And yet unable to die.
With madness closing in.
[rattling echoes]
So what did you do?
I waited.
Till my eyes got used to the darkness.
Waited till I began to hear.
Waited till I could smell.
Till I could taste.
Eventually, I became
the devourer of darkness.
See, patience is about more than waiting.
What matters most
is what's growing inside you, Cihan.
Is your rage building while you wait?
Is your hatred surging?
That is not being a patient man.
- [rattling hiss]
- [ominous music intensifies]
You may not lay a hand on Maran or Shahsu.
Not yet.
Can I depend upon you?
Well done.
Because it starts soon.
[rattling hiss echoes]
[breathes deeply]
[stones grinding]
[tense music builds slowly]
[Çavgeş] The first one
is the door of life.
[Shahsu] Shahmaran's healing
power is behind this door.
To gain it, you have to walk through.
You must give life to someone
else before you can go beyond.
Life to someone?
- [sighs deeply]
- What?
This means that you must
forgive somebody you despise.
For a death caused by a basilisk.
It's not happening.
How can I? That's crazy.
That man, he was [sighs]
Is Mirac sick or what?
[exhales deeply]
I'll go get Mirac.
I'll be in touch.
[Shahsu sighs]
Alright.
And I think I'd better say
goodbye to the students.
Be careful.
[soft hissing]
Maran killed Lakmu.
Let's get them back, huh?
[Lilith] I want to know
what humans are like.
The things they eat,
the things they drink,
how they live their lives.
[rattling]
He tried to intimidate
our guys in the area.
He threatened them.
You had spoken of a place earlier.
A club.
[rattling hiss]
- It's just that Shahsu
- [hissing softly]
Found him, sir. Mirac, I mean.
[overlapping chatter]
- [chattering hushes]
- [eerie music playing]
[soundscape warbling]
Stop! We don't want any help
from the likes of you.
[eerie music continues]
[soundscape warbling]
[chattering resumes]
[pensive music playing]
[music fades out]
[door shuts]
[tense music builds slowly]
[engine turns over]
[grunting]
[coughing]
[woman] Hey! What's going on?
[man 1] Someone call the police!
Call the police!
I don't have my phone with me!
- [gasping]
- [man 2] Somebody call the police!
- [groans]
- [man 3] Stop!
Stop it.
See? That's what happens!
- [hisses]
- [screaming]
[chuckles]
Got somethin' to say?
[laughs]
[hissing]
[horn honking]
- [driver] Hey! Watch where you're going!
- Hey! Get out!
- I don't have time for this, psycho!
- Out!
- What the
- I said get out!
What the hell
do you think you're doing, man?
What the fuck's wrong with you, huh?
Fuck you!
[pulsing energetic music playing]
[hissing]
[overlapping chatter]
[thunder rumbling]
[intense pulsing music plays]
[indistinct conversations]
- It's a snake!
- [screaming]
- A snake?
- What the hell?
[screaming continues]
[club music playing]
- [laughter]
- [glasses clink]
[hissing]
[hissing]
[music stops]
[breathes deeply]
I've never liked milk.
Or honey either.
The serpent inside you does it.
Mirac has been found.
You coming?
I am.
[club music playing loudly]
[rattling]
Here.
[high-pitched ringing]
[music fades into background]
[echoing] Join me.
For what? Look, obviously I'm here.
[hissing echoes]
- Dance now.
- [clicks tongue] No.
Just try it.
Let's go.
Dance more. Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
- Let's go.
- Enough!
- [music levels resume]
- [low rattling hiss]
I'm a basilisk.
It's no game.
This what we waited
so many years for, huh?
Huh?
Cihan.
What's your problem, man?
Your father isn't even cold yet.
Isn't that right? Right?
Look at you, man.
Come with me.
[rattling hiss]
[ominous music playing]
- [hissing]
- Fucking hell, go!
[shrieking hiss]
[Mirac gasping]
[echoing gasps]
[whimpering gasps]
Get him out of here.
[rattling hiss]
- [chattering]
- [distant club music playing]
Follow me. This way.
[shuddering breaths]
[sniffing]
[somber music plays]
[breathing deeply]
[Cihan] Well, well, well.
Ah, just look who's here.
- Cihan?
- Seems to me, you still haven't learned.
I have.
Come on, try me.
- Cihan.
- Shahsu.
Come on, he won't hurt me.
- It's me, Cihan.
- [Maran] Shahsu?
It's alright, he's my friend.
- Not true.
- Yes, it is.
I truly do feel love for you
in my heart, deeply.
You're more like
a brother to me, understand?
Does that make me a bad person?
I'm worried that where you stand
makes you bad, Cihan.
Are you sure?
So he's good, huh?
And I'm bad?
Ask him, then.
Why'd he kill my old man?
What is he talking about, Maran?
He did it with his bare hands.
Then you already know
what I'm capable of, don't you?
[low rattling]
Fine.
- [hissing echoes]
- [rattling hiss]
[ominous music builds]
[sound slows and distorts]
[normal soundscape resumes]
[tense music playing]
I'm pleased to meet you.
[low rattling]
[sniffs]
I'm Abra.
Open your eyes.
Turn away.
[Lilith] Don't, Cihan.
- [rumbling]
- [voice echoing]
Have a little patience.
[soundscape warbling]
[Lilith] Come.
[breathes deeply]
[door rattling]
[tense music plays slowly]
[sniffs]
[ethereal choral music playing]
[somber music builds slowly]
[groans]
Maran.
Your face is cut.
If he transforms here, we can't save him.
[Maran grunting]
- Your face is cut.
- It's fine.
Just stop the truck.
- There's no time to waste, Mirac
- I said stop.
You're angry.
Maran, you actually killed someone.
Just explain that, 'kay?
'Cause I'm confused.
We were using such lofty words,
like, "Evil is near,
and it's up to us to stop it."
Murder stops it all, huh?
Aren't you supposed to be
different from those guys?
Maybe it's not that simple.
I've asked myself that.
I resisted, ran away, but now, I'm alone.
My father's dead. My sisters are dead.
They're all dead.
It can't be so meaningless.
I'm about to stop this war.
All my means are justified.
[pensive music plays]
You tricked me.
[Lilith sighs]
I had him in my hands.
[Lilith] Mmm.
It kinda seems like you're helping them.
[hissing breath]
[soft hiss]
You passed a big test today.
Here.
[tense music builds]
[Maran grunting]
[Mirac groaning]
[panting]
[wheezing breaths]
I killed your gramps, you know.
When he came back again, I killed him.
- Just don't.
- He came back again, I killed him.
And again. And again. Stabbing.
[gasping breaths]
[breathing deeply]
[ethereal music playing]
[energy whooshing]
[echoing breaths]
[breathing shakily]
[rattling hiss]
- [squelching]
- [heartbeat thumping]
[rapid breathing]
[energy whooshes]
[Mirac panting]
[coughing, wheezing]
[wind gusting]
[panting]
[wind picks up]
[liquid dripping]
[doctor] The boy's lungs
have collapsed, Mirac.
It's heavy metal poisoning, understand?
How could you not bring him in before?
[Mirac] Our home is under lien.
Drowning in debt.
He said he was in school,
but he was at the factory.
Don't leave me here. Where are you going?
We're all alone, with nobody,
where are you going?
Please don't leave me.
When compared to our ruler,
our lives mean nothing.
It's time she comes back.
It's alright, I'm ready to die.
[tense pulsing music plays]
Be not afraid.
Don't reproach yourself now.
Your son is safe and knows no pain.
[pulsing music intensifies]
[rustling]
[wind howling]
[wind blowing gently]
[soft rattling hiss]
[rumbling]
[ethereal music rises]
[deep rumbling]
[soft rattling]
[energy warbling]
[insects chirring]
[night bird calling]
[pensive music builds slowly]
[gasps sharply]
[breathing deeply]
[coughing, gasping]
[shuddering breath]
Baldibi.
She's in Baldibi.
[tense pulsing music plays]
[Lilith] I've thought about you a lot.
Over the centuries, I've asked myself,
"What about you did she love so much?"
Camsap.
It wasn't you that Shahmaran loved.
It was your mortality.
Mister?
What happened, are you okay?
[Davut coughing]
- Mommy!
- [Lilith] That's what Shahmaran desired.
Through loving you, she wanted to know
what it is to be human.
But we paid the price in the end.
The fault for it all
lies at your feet, Camsap.
But I'm in no hurry now.
And so I choose to set you free.
So that you get
what you deserve, in the end.
[tense music builds and cuts out]
[pensive music playing]
[music fades out]
