04:30Did you even send a falcon to my brother?
04:33Of course I did.
04:36Return to me the truth.
04:37Go see the healer as your mother instructed.
04:42How are the merchants taxed?
04:54How are the merchants taxed?
04:56They pay a fee for their stores and higher fees for more traffic, more customers, more money.
05:02Are there?
05:03Are there holdouts?
05:04Are there ever holdouts?
05:05Inside the imperial wall?
05:07Very rare.
05:09The thing they have here, these vendors know, they cheat on tribute, they end up peddling outside the wall.
05:16In Venice, those who do not meet their obligations are in prison.
05:20Is it the same here?
05:21No, no, no.
05:22Thieves are branded thieves.
05:24Marked, they struggle.
05:26Their sons begs.
05:27Their sons beg, their wives and daughters hoard.
05:29They live off Lady Chebby's charity.
05:31But they live.
05:33Sometime.
05:34Some time.
05:37Severity of punishment, not for me to come at night.
05:41This is for the Vice Regent Yusuf and the wisdom of his secretariat.
05:48What is this fabric?
05:50Linen.
05:51These jerks make it in Manchuria.
05:53They don't have copper coins to pay this month, so I'll let them pay with what they have.
06:04Hey, hey, can we get rid of these peasants?
06:12These are my children.
06:16They follow me around like I'm a king.
06:18King of a fine brute, sir.
06:20With my own Venetian slave.
06:23Peasants!
06:25I love them!
06:31Let me put this away.
06:33Thank you for dinner.
06:34It was delicious.
06:37Spices?
06:38You want to talk about spices?
06:41These spiceries pay three and a third percent.
06:46From the wine they make of the rice, they generate great revenue.
06:51Thus they must pay duty.
06:53Untold money to the Khan.
06:57What is that, Sangha?
06:59Huh?
07:04No, no!
07:10This, Marco?
07:12The verses of love.
07:14See, I travel to collect.
07:17So when I travel, I leave words of love on paper for my goland.
07:22So she remembers she has a husband, eh?
07:25And the Silk Road.
07:27Do we ever travel there to collect taxes?
07:31Oui?
07:32No.
07:34I travel to collect.
07:35Once a fortnight or so.
07:37You are not permitted to travel outside of Kambalak.
07:41Hmm?
07:43The wonders of Khan's city is plenty.
07:46Hmm?
07:47So please, don't speak of this again.
07:50Because I like you, my slave.
07:53Salute!
07:54Oh.
07:56Oh.
08:04Noble Tiger traveled a great distance.
08:07I began to find his eyes growing heavy.
08:10Noble Tiger was very sleepy, you see.
08:14For he was very old.
08:17Did he have no more teeth?
08:20He still had teeth.
08:23Just no longer sharp.
08:25And so Noble Tiger lay himself under a great banyan tree.
08:30And fell into a deep slumber.
08:32He had the most beautiful dream.
08:36Of a long shady path.
08:39And as he walked down it.
08:43He grew young again and began a life anew.
08:48So he slept forever?
08:53Yes.
08:55But all of his friends in the forest were so happy for him.
08:58And they remembered all the treasures he left behind.
09:04You, Ling Ling.
09:06Are the sweetest, greatest treasure your father ever gifted me.
09:11One I will selfishly hold forever.
09:16Hello, Sunflower.
09:18Uncle!
09:20Uncle's most precious.
09:22Born in the year of the monkey.
09:25That's why you're so clever.
09:28Precious and clever.
09:30Go, show the children your new gift.
09:36The emperor is breathing his last.
09:38And he has requested the presence of his imperial consort.
09:42It is a tragedy that the fates will not allow him the time to bear witness to the fall of Kublai Khan.
09:48Perhaps the goddess of mercy is sparing him a far worse vision.
09:51Men will one day sing songs about me, sister.
09:59Jiazidao, the prime minister who vanquished the demon and saved the song.
10:04I will bring my daughter to say goodbye to her father.
10:09And to the empire.
10:11The vampire.
10:13The vampire.
10:17The vampire.
10:20The vampire.
11:53Are you following me?
11:55No. I saw you and approached.
11:58What are you doing out here?
12:03I might ask you the same.
12:07There is no citizen of Kambulak foolish enough to look at, let alone talk to me. Do you know who I am?
12:13I know only your protector.
12:16And if Zabing were to catch you anywhere near me, he would run you through.
12:20I trust you will not report me.
12:24So, who are you?
12:32I am the blue princess of the Bajat tribe.
12:37You ride as a Mongol, not a princess.
12:40All Mongol women are born to the horse and the bow.
12:45May I assist you?
12:46No.
12:46I am simply being polite.
12:50Something a noble woman such as yourself should be tutored in.
12:53I need not be polite to someone like you.
12:56Someone like me?
12:58Someone beneath me.
12:59I will forgive your ignorance in the way of suffering in your home.
13:07This is not my home.
13:09Many before you have part the same.
13:11You speak from experience.
13:15Why do you imagine that?
13:17I see behind your words.
13:19If you are the princess of the Bajat, where is your queen?
13:24Your king?
13:27You're a prisoner.
13:29Like me.
13:33I am kept for royalty.
13:35My future is in some distant palace.
13:38You are a slave of the Khan.
13:41I am nothing like you.
14:01Try to keep up, if you can.
14:11Try to keep up, if you want to ride it.
14:15You are a slave of the well.
14:16You are a princess they love me.
14:17Let's go.
14:47Let's go.
15:17Let's go.
15:47Let's go.
16:16Let's go.
16:46Let's go.
17:16Let's go.
17:46Let's go.
18:17Wait out here.
18:25This one they called a cricket minister.
18:28How many soldiers did he have lying in wait at Wuchang?
18:31Not enough to defeat a Mongol army.
18:33Not enough to defeat a Mongol army.
18:33Had our reinforcements arrived?
18:35You did not attack without me.
18:38I was almost killed.
18:40My general Arruka has passed to the blue sky.
18:42They ran away.
18:43They ran away.
18:44They ran away.
18:46They ran away.
18:49They captured him outside of Wuchang.
18:54They ran away.
18:55They ran away.
18:55They tied his head.
18:56They tied his head to his horse.
18:57They tied his head to his horse.
18:58They did run home.
18:59They tied his head to his horse.
19:00They did run home, right to his girl and his children.
19:03They had to die.
19:03They ran away.
19:04They were the worst.
19:04They ran away.
19:05They ran away.
19:09They ran away.
19:14They ran away.
19:42There are magnificent beasts.
19:57When you were a child, I called you Alte.
20:13Out of the mountains, me and your father hunted us boys.
20:19Kublai insists on a Chinese name.
20:22Jingmi.
20:22Remind me of its meaning.
20:29Golden.
20:31Golden.
20:34You are his golden one, have you?
20:37One day, they may call you Jingyong Kong.
20:43But beware.
20:46My big brother is too trusting of outsiders.
20:48Persians, and Chinese, and all kinds of religions.
20:58You and me.
21:00Our blood is the wolf and the deer.
21:04Open the gates to outsiders.
21:06Secrets will be spilled.
21:07Who is the Christian, who writs with you?
21:29.
21:30.
22:30I have seen my uncle's army, father.
23:00They are ready.
23:03Aruka is prepared to join our attack on Xiangyang.
23:06This will not be another Wu Chang.
23:09I fear a Rick's horses will never reach Xiangyang.
23:25Spiff.
23:28A Rick's horses are in the many thousands.
23:31True.
23:32Quite fit.
23:33But how many days right is it from the old capital to the walled city?
23:38Three weeks by desert.
23:40As the son of a merchant, they do not have the grain supplies to move that many horses to Xiangyang.
23:52The desert alone will cut their numbers in half.
23:55My son, Jing'an, just stated that they are ready to ride into battle.
24:01They are ready, yes, Great Khan.
24:04But only if that battle was closer to home.
24:06Do you accuse my uncle, brother to the Khan of treason?
24:14I only describe what I see as I saw it.
24:17Yes, sir.
24:33Yes, sir.
24:33Dispatch a Knight Rider to verify the Latian's report.
24:37You will not be gaining favors by your charming stories anymore.
25:05Not without a tongue.
25:35Not without a tongue.
25:37The sword you hit is weak.
25:55Your water won't last you two days.
25:58But the salt cakes were delicious.
26:00I called the Rick a liar tonight
26:07That was foolish
26:09Were your words true?
26:11Yes
26:11Run now
26:13They will find you
26:15Stay
26:16I can train you to survive in whatever world you choose to make your home
26:20This is not my home
26:21I understand
26:23Where did the can get you from?
26:28I said I would train you
26:30Not wallow in nostalgia with you
27:00Stay
27:00Just wallow in concentration with you
27:03You are lying
27:04Just wallow in nay
27:19I said I want to cut his ass
27:22Why do you think the sword has a color sash?
27:39To look pretty?
27:53He's advanced quickly to the broadsword.
27:58You school him well, Hundred Eyes.
28:01May I interrupt the student's training for a word?
28:05You're the prince. You may kill him if that's your desire.
28:19Humiliate me in front of the court again.
28:22I will kill you.
28:34You were right.
28:37Arik betrayed us.
28:52Arik sends me a treacherous gift.
28:58He remembers how much I love the king of the hunters.
29:01Arik is a dog that would eat its own afterbirth.
29:05He has always believed that he should be kind of Khans, not you.
29:13Before the sun sets today, I will close down the Gopi trade routes, starve Karakorum.
29:20My younger brother will have no place to go but Siberia.
29:26So forgiving, great Kublai.
29:29You slaughter entire cities, yet you allow Arik to run to Siberia.
29:34I know how to punish my brother.
29:36He almost killed your son.
29:39Arik believes he can pleasure your women better than you.
29:43Does that excite you, Empress?
29:46Arik should be trampled by 1,000 horses and left on a step to rot.
29:52That would excite me.
29:57That would excite me.
29:58That would excite me.
30:28That would excite me.
30:37Arik Khan.
30:39Kublai's younger brother in the north.
30:41We are minting his own currency for when he is elected Khan of Khans
30:45and opens the Silk Road for the Song.
30:47Of course, I need the support of our region's governors.
30:54You have my stamp, Sidal.
30:58And my command over the council.
31:22Men grow old.
31:24Perls turn yellow.
31:25There is no cure.
31:28My condolences, Emperor Xie.
31:31Eventually, we all become white ashes, Sidal.
31:35But my husband has left a son.
31:38Bow to your new emperor, Zhao Xian.
31:41Good sad news, Empress.
31:54Also comes good.
31:56We drove the Mongols back from Wuchang.
31:59The barbarians know your chancellor will never surrender the last stronghold of the Song dynasty.
32:04But they will be back.
32:07We can count on that.
32:09I fear you do count on it, Sidal.
32:11I fear you thirst for it.
32:13I thirst for it.
32:14I thirst for it.
32:43Have you reported all?
32:47Yes, good minister Ahmed, yes.
32:51You are dismissed, Sangha.
32:56Master Marco.
32:59Come.
33:00Stay.
33:02Goodbye, my Venetian slave.
33:05So, what is this gift I hear of?
33:13A foreign messenger who can paint pictures with his words.
33:16How would you describe the manner in which the Uyghurs pay their taxes?
33:21Always as a form of ceremony.
33:25On their knees.
33:27A humble offering, more as to a god than to a king.
33:32And the Jurchens?
33:33Clever and resourceful people.
33:36Paying with the work of their hands when they do not have the coins.
33:39Masters of making linen, I understand.
33:41So, if the Jurchens have been paying in linen, why hasn't Sangha deposited any such tribute?
33:51I did not say that Sangha collected such linen so that the Jurchens are clever and resourceful people.
33:58You are not the first foreigner who has had to learn to subsist in this kingdom.
34:06I found my way here as a child.
34:09Raised in the household of the great Khan.
34:11So, I know his heart, and I have his trust.
34:17A lie is like an assault on his person, but an honest word?
34:24That is like a shield.
34:26So, I must ask you again.
34:28Did the Jurchens, at any time, pay their taxes in the form of linen?
34:34Perhaps, Sangha simply forgot.
34:43Indeed.
34:43Indeed.
34:44Indeed.
34:45Neither do you.
34:58Gi-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
34:59Mm-hm.

37:39You should be tied to a post
38:07and have your skin sliced
38:09from your body
38:09I have bartered
38:11for your political advantage
38:12I will not barter
38:14for the loyalty
38:14of your soldiers
38:15It is beneath you
38:17I know
38:18You will travel
38:21to Cambulac
38:21as defector
38:22They will take you in
38:24and just as you won
38:25the favor
38:26of the emperor of China
38:26you will win
38:27the favor
38:28of the devil himself
38:29Report to me

38:50for the dynasty

38:53They laugh at you
38:55They call you
38:56the cricket minister
38:57I was summoned
39:09Quiet
39:12You may begin
39:16The tax collector's
39:30deposits did not match
39:31What?
39:36Ahel
39:37He was given
39:49an honorable death
39:50Rolled up in a carpet
39:52so that Tengar
39:53of the sky god
39:53did not see his blood
39:54You'll be riding
40:00into battle
40:00with us, I hear
40:01To give your accounts
40:03I love you so much
40:19I have to go
40:20But I'll see you
40:21very soon
40:22I love you
40:24I love you
40:54I love you
40:55I love you
40:56I love you
40:57I love you
40:58I love you
40:59I love you
41:00I love you
41:01I love you
41:02I love you
41:03I love you
41:04I love you
41:05I love you
41:06I love you
41:07I love you
41:08I love you

41:21I love you
41:22I love you
41:23I don't know.
41:53I don't know.
42:23I don't know.
42:53I don't know.
43:23She made me grind boats with the women for six more days.
43:28Our father woke up drunk and said,
43:31Koblai, why are you grinding boats like a girl?
43:34We knew she'd be our taunt in tears.
43:38So can I tell you?
43:40She was a fine mother.
43:45A great mother.
43:47Queen of Mongolia.
43:47It was she who taught us the code of Grandfather Chinggis, yes.
43:58It was she that taught us that a true ruler must not lose the loyalty of his allies and subjects.
44:05The Chinese, Saracen, Christian, or Hindi.
44:09The wise leader allows his people their ways.
44:14Our father, son of Chinggis, did not agree with such open gates.
44:19He drank himself to death behind closed doors.
44:21Do you know where I was those six days?
44:26When you were chasing that deer?
44:30Make the my arrows sharp to go after the wolf and save my brother.
44:35I was four years old.
44:39When our brother, monk, died, Mongolia elected me Khan of Khans.
44:45Not all of Mongolia, brother.
44:48Not the princess of the Golden Horde.
44:50Not the chakada of Persia.
44:52That is rebellion.
44:52We can argue that all night.
45:02I do not want to be emperor of China.
45:05I do not want to be ruler of the face of the earth.
45:08I want to be Khan of Mongolia.
45:11They are one of the same, brother.
45:15So, it has come to this.
45:19Not by my choosing.
45:22The way I see it, it is your warrior setting camp on my land.
45:29It's because of that point of view.
45:32My warrior set camp on my land.
45:52I bid you a good night's rest.
45:57I'll see you at sunrise.
45:59I'll see you at sunrise.
46:22Where do you think Vernician merchant is this evening?
46:47What do you think of the Venetian merchandise this evening?
46:54India? Debris?
46:59On my silk road, chasing witches.
47:06I was just about your age when I knew.
47:11Knew what, sire?
47:14I had to become the man I wish my father was.
47:23Tomorrow, watch and remember what you see.
47:31Faithfully.
47:44To be continued.
47:51To be continued.
47:53To be continued.
48:00To be continued.
48:02To be continued.
48:09To be continued.
48:11To be continued.
48:13To be continued.
48:20To be continued.
48:22To be continued.
48:24To be continued.
48:25To be continued.
48:29To be continued.
48:31Let's go.
49:01Tell me all the way to the horizon a sea of men and horses ready to break a show
49:26The Khan has moved from this car to the front
49:31Yes
49:56He's looking far away from this car
50:05No, he's looking far away from this car
50:10No, he's looking far away from this car
50:14Let's go.
50:44What is he doing now?
50:46He is writing down.
50:49Alone.
50:51This is Mongol against Mongol.
50:53And only one can win.
50:56You best pray that it is our side.
51:00For if we lose,
51:02Camberlak will be burned in the ground.
51:04And we will be made into kindling.
51:14Look, then it has ended, brother.
51:38You want Mongolia?
51:42You come and take it.
51:45It is.
51:48Because it should be.
51:49Let's go.
52:19Let's go.
52:49Let's go.
52:59Let's go.
