00:49I understand.
01:00I understand.
01:30A man's must be made for your father's crime.
01:59I know compassion, and you know our customs.
02:10Kagan's law, you will choose your father's punishment, and then you shall find sleep.

05:34Let's go.
05:36Let's go.
06:08How is he?
06:18Poison of the yellow scorpion.
06:20The healers do not know if he will survive the night.
06:24How many assassins?
06:25Three.
06:27Where were his knights?
06:30Many fell this evening, Jing'up.
06:32Against three assassins?
06:38I will convene the war assembly.
06:48Our great Khan wavers between this life and the next.
06:53And we stand here, violated within our own walls, and wonder whether we should avenge.
06:58We do not yet know who violated us.
07:02Is there anyone here, aside from my friend Yusuf, who cannot...
07:04You overstep your office, my Minister of Finance.
07:08Our Lord battles the coward's poison.
07:10Listen, I say this, I shall stand for him, as he has for each of you.
07:20Prince, we do not know if this is the tip of Sadao's sword.
07:25At this very moment, his army could be descending upon us.
07:27We have received no notice from our outposts of any upcoming armies.
07:35Well, perhaps they have been eliminated.
07:41Thousands of imperial guards, Mongol knights, a moat deep and wide, dogs, walls.
07:50How did this scum penetrate our defences?
07:57Wars and guards, dogs and moats.
08:01Prince, the answer to the assassin's identity rests in your question.
08:07They moved underwater and through walls.
08:12Sensed only by the Khan's horses.
08:15Their tools were climbing hook and shadow.
08:18These demons were trained by the old man in the mountain.
08:25They were Hashishin.
08:32The Hashishin were crushed by my uncle Hulagu long before my birth.
08:38The old man and his martyrs are nothing more than phantoms and fables told to frighten children.
08:43If they were not Hashishin, they were trained in their ways.
08:47Yusuf is correct in his counsel.
08:50These men are mercenaries.
08:53They could have been hired by anyone for any reason.
08:57Do you advise I send warriors in search of a myth
09:00when our true and very real enemy lies in Xiangyang?
09:04I suggest you open your eyes to the possibility as your father would.
09:12How many of our guards were slain?
09:15Can we afford not to search out such a potent adversary?
09:18We can, blind man, because the old man is dead.
09:22Our demons lie south.
09:24With deference, Prince Jingyum.
09:28That may not be true.
09:31Who allowed you access to this assembly, Latin?
09:34Jingyum.
09:40Speak.
09:41On my journey to Kambalak, I passed a village two weeks right from here named Kachkor.
09:48My guide told of a lone way station.
09:53He was clear that those who speak the name of Hashishin
09:55were offering their heads to these assassins who are very much alive.
10:00What is your point?
10:02If this was their Hashishin, we would find them there.
10:06You say you know where this place rests?
10:10I do.
10:12Biamba, you will ride there with the company under the banner of the Khan.
10:16If Master Polo is correct, track the assassins
10:20and confirm the Song Rebels' complicity.
10:23In this answer, the scale of war will be balanced.
10:34Steady your heart, Markel.
10:35Oh, you are over.
10:44Prince Jingyum.
10:49If a band of Mongolian soldiers travel as they are,
10:51the Hashishin will see danger.
10:54But if they ride as escorts for a merchant searching for poppy,
10:59the flower by which the Hashishin are set to draw their strength...
11:02It might play a helpful ruse.
11:04And you, Polo, might get sliced into fine white meat in the process.
11:09Prepare your horse.
11:11Prince,
11:13the Khan and I came to Thames before the attack.
11:16My father and uncle are to be spared.
11:18I beg you.
11:19Tonight, your father and uncle are the least of my concerns.
11:23I make no promises for tomorrow.
11:26I make no promises for tomorrow.
11:34An attempt has been made on the Khan's life.
11:36Is he alive?
11:39Some say yes, some no.
11:43A party rise to find those responsible.
11:47Master Polo was among them.
11:48I have taught you to blend with every attack.
11:55Absorb your opponent.
11:57When water is poured into a vessel...
11:58It becomes the vessel.
12:00But the Hashishin are not common warriors.
12:04The old man trains them to enter the shadow's self.
12:08The demon's self.
12:08That is their art.
12:12How does one absorb such darkness...
12:15And yet, return to the light?
12:18Especially one unsure of his place in the world.
12:23If you seek and find the assassins...
12:26You will need to become the vessel.
12:29If you don't go deep enough...
12:31They will smell you...
12:32And kill you.
12:33Go too deep.
12:36And you will not return from Eagle's teaching.
12:39What marks the balance?
12:41Certainty of self.
12:44I do not go for myself, Seifu.
12:47I go for my father.
12:51Ride beneath the skyline.
12:53The Hashishin do not wish to be found.
12:56They will find you.
13:03Master Markham.
13:09A moment, please.
13:28The Humber will travel with a golden tablet.
13:31All gates will open before you.
13:33Why are you telling me this?
13:35If the Lord Khan dies while you're gone...
13:38So does your only advocate.
13:40Take this tragedy for what it is.
13:43Opportunity.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:45Run.
13:47Run.
13:49Run.
13:51Run.
13:53Run.
13:55Run.
13:57Run.
13:59Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:01Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:02Run.
14:03Run.
14:03Run.
14:03Run.
14:04Run.
14:09Run.
14:22This is what happens when we barter with barbarians.
14:28Cruelty must be met with cruelty.
14:30We must lay waste to their cities, their women, and children.
14:36We must drive them back into the savage hole from which they slid.
14:42It is time for war.
14:45The Emperor's army is yours to do with as you please, my Chancellor.
15:00You understand it takes time to gather the troops, to prepare for battle.
15:12Do you forget who I am?
15:16I humbly ask that you give the order to mobilize.
15:22If you do not prepare to strike, worse, prepare to be struck.
15:28Look, the Latin may prove Gia Sadow innocent of the attempt.
15:38It may.
15:41Do you not find it odd, Prince?
15:44That Master Marco spoke so surely of the Assassin's whereabouts, so quick to return.
15:49He does so for the sake of his own father's head.
15:53That is my point.
15:54What would you not do to realize the dreams of your father?
15:58Nothing.
16:01The Khan continues to embrace this boy we know so little about.
16:06The West is not ignorant of the Khan's designs.
16:10Would we not plant rot within the foundation of their house, let it fester and collapse upon itself?
16:15Do you think he travels to cover transgressions?
16:17I don't know.
16:23Perhaps grief invades my thoughts.
16:25I don't know.
16:25Perhaps grief invades my thoughts.
16:25Does anyone thank you for saving my father's life?
16:53Had you and Tundra's not arrived, the Khan would be dead.
16:59As would I, so my thanks to you.
17:04Junior is Khan.
17:05You believe he is not fit?
17:09I never said that.
17:11Do you?
17:13This is not my home.
17:15I'm a guest.
17:16It's not my place to judge my host.
17:18I hated these as a boy.
17:24Rotten, sour.
17:26My mother made me eat them.
17:28She said they kept me healthy.
17:31And now?
17:32The superstition before battle.
17:34Of course she meant they were good for my teeth.
17:36Were you close to her?
17:40I had to be.
17:42Son of a consort is never fully accepted in court.
17:46Will they let me spill blood on the battlefield?
17:48Yes.
17:52You?
17:53Were you close to your mother?
17:55She died when I was young.
17:56I was raised by my aunt.
18:00Didn't know my father until three years ago.
18:05Son of an adventurer.
18:09Fathers are destined to disappoint sons and sons their fathers.
18:12The Khan has disappointed you.
18:14I'm able to find the difference between the Khan and the man.
18:18Didn't know that was allowed.
18:20What is locked behind the doors of the heart is no one's business but one's own.
18:25So let's talk about the man and not the Khan.
18:27Make no mistake.
18:29Even if we meet under the blue sky, I will never open those doors to you.
18:33And I will never knock.
18:37You think by doing this you can save your father's life?
18:41I avenge the Khan and hope he shows him favor.
18:45The point of all this was to thank you.
18:47So thank you.
19:50Right, Swift.
20:03Sidao must know.
20:05If he does not know that already,
20:07have you not considered that?
20:10The Mongols will look for spies now.
20:12Seek out conspirators.
20:14You must escape.
20:16Deliver this message yourself.
20:20If Sidao did not give the command,
20:23I must stay.
20:25My daughter lives or dies by my decision.
20:29I remain.
20:30I remain.
20:37I hired you.
21:07I am destined for paradise.
21:12Death is all I know and all I will ever claim to know.
21:27You don't want to do that.
21:30If you scream, you tear your mouth.
21:34The more you scream, the more damage you do to yourself.
21:40Who hired you?
21:43I am destined for paradise.
21:47Death is all I know and all I will ever claim to know.
21:51Very well.
21:52Anything?
21:57He may know nothing.
22:01May know nothing or knows nothing.
22:04May.
22:06Then flay the skin from his bones until you know.
22:09You heard the prince.
22:26Let us announce to paradise.
22:29Your pending arrival.
22:31No!
22:32No!
22:33No!
22:34No!
22:35No!
22:36No!
22:38No!
22:39No!
22:40No!
22:41No!
22:41No!
22:42No!
22:43No!
22:44No!
22:45No!
22:46No!
22:48No!
22:50No!
22:51No!
22:52No!
22:53No!
22:54No!
22:55No!
22:56How did you come to name your son?
23:16I did not name Michael.
23:20His mother had that honor.
23:23Why?
23:23I was not present at his birth.
23:28Where were you?
23:31In the world.
23:36So you abandoned him before he was even born?
23:41I was trying to make a name for my family.
23:46Although I did not know him, everything I have done in my life has been for him.
23:51I wanted the world to know the Polo name.
23:56So for legacy?
23:58Yes.
24:00His legacy?
24:03Yes.
24:04Do you think that is what he wanted?
24:09Do you think that is what he needed from his father?
24:11Legacy?
24:13Do you know what your son asked of me just before he left?
24:17Keep them alive until I return.
24:20Keep them alive.
24:21Even after you had abandoned him, after he could have died for your transgressions, he was still concerned for you.
24:30What a fool.
24:41Never the matter.
24:44Marko will fall on you with him.
24:46I will.
24:47I will.
24:49Bye.
24:52Bye.
25:12Bye.
25:12Bye.
25:13Bye.
25:13All right, my merchant friend.
25:33Let us go peddle your wares.
25:37We ride below the skyline.
25:40That is not how we attract the buyers we need.
25:43All right.
26:13As-salamu alaykum.
26:30Done.
26:32The Chinese say you can name a price for gold, but not for the white jade from the kingdom of Kothan.
26:49I do not like when I say it's the most precious of all gems and sought by the imperial court.
26:57What do you wish for this white stone?
27:00The flower that guides the way to paradise.
27:07I wish to speak with the old man.
27:22I guess we said something wrong.
27:30Where are you?
27:31Wherever he has gone, he will return.
27:39Where are you?
27:40Wherever he has gone, he will return.
27:48I realize now that I had no idea the pressure one is under, turning a son into a man.
27:57Forget all the citizens in the realm.
27:59The responsibility parents have for that one soul.
28:02It is a great challenge.
28:03And a greater honor.
28:04The responsibility parents have for that one soul.
28:08It is a great challenge.
28:09You are so at peace.
28:10And a greater honor.
28:15You are so at peace.
28:16Peace is found in the heart of the faithful.
28:18How can you be so at peace?
28:20How can you be so sure he will wake?
28:21My faith is rooted in what is next for him.
28:22Should he not overcome?
28:23You are so at peace.
28:24Peace is found in the heart of the faithful.
28:25How can you be so sure he will wake?
28:26My faith is rooted in what is next for him should he not awaken?
28:27I think too much on this life, Mother, to consider what lies beyond.
28:32I have betrayed you.
28:35How can you be so sure he will wake?
28:38You are so at peace.
28:39Peace is found in the heart of the faithful.
28:44How can you be so sure he will wake?
28:47My faith is rooted in what is next for him should he not awaken?
28:51I think too much on this life, Mother.
28:54to consider what lies beyond.
29:24May I sit?
29:32If your intent is on trade,
29:34it remains unclaimed.
29:36Perhaps your price is too high.
29:38Everything is open to barter.
29:40What are you offering?
29:42Opportunity.
29:44For?
29:46Leaving through that door,
29:48still standing upright.
29:54And here I was, being so gracious.
29:56As am I.
29:58I haven't leaned in yet.
30:00Who are you?
30:02There are two answers to that question.
30:04The first is,
30:06I am the owner of the chair upon which you sit.
30:10And the second?
30:12The last face you will see before descending into darkness.
30:18Look around you.
30:24Over the generations,
30:26these eves have shielded the backs of every culture known to man.
30:30And as such,
30:32I know man.
30:34The strong and the weak,
30:36the bold and the cowardly,
30:38the keen and the foolish.
30:40And you are strong,
30:42bold,
30:44and far from foolish enough to track this trouble across my floor.
30:48Unless you have convinced yourselves,
30:52through conditioning,
30:53that no harm will befall you.
30:57Show me.
31:08The Khan of Khans grants the golden tablet to poppy dealers.
31:12No.
31:13A bureaucrat and a secretariat with a liking for hashish.
31:16I do not carry the product you seek.
31:20Then what kind of seller are you?
31:22I am the man in the middle.
31:25We want the gatekeeper of paradise.
31:28That man is far too deadly.
31:32Let us weigh the stakes.
31:36I misread you.
31:38You are a fool.
31:42You are a fool.
31:44a hundred thousand people.
31:45You are a fool.
31:46Uh...
31:48I use it.
31:49I use it.
31:50But not a supply of charity.
31:51I use it.
31:52Oh, no.
31:53Aleshaabe.
31:54Play it.
31:55Oh, no.
31:56Oh, no.
31:57I use it.
31:58I use it.
31:59I use it.
32:00I use it.
32:01I use it.
32:02So, no.
32:03I use it.
32:04I use it.
32:05I use it.
32:06But it's not the case.
32:07I use it.
32:08It's not the case.
32:09I use it.
32:10You can move it.
32:11It's not the case.
32:12Continue.
32:31Siddharl slaughtered his ambassadors.
32:33My friends?
32:35The Song ambassadors we parlayed with.
32:38The warriors we freed.
32:40They were all butchered returning to Xiangyang.
32:42Siddharl lays the blame at our doorstep.
32:44His army prepares for battle.
32:48Diplomacy is dead.
32:52You negotiated a true peace.
32:55Empress Dowager would have embraced it.
32:57Siddharl has rejected our truce with steel and blood.
33:01This is a good sign.
33:03Find for me the good in this.
33:05We have clarity of the inevitable.
33:07We know now Xiangyang is divided.
33:09War is how this will end.
33:11And now is a time to strike.
33:13We do not know if Siddharl moved against my father.
33:15We do not know if the Song mobilized to attack or to defend.
33:18We know nothing.
33:19My prince.
33:20My brother, yes we need not march.
33:22But at least marshal our forces.
33:24We must prepare.
33:26In this you must not fail.
33:28Gather your generals.
33:30Speak to them as warriors and they will follow you past the gates of death.
33:34As they followed me at Wuchang?
33:36The army respects you.
33:38You attacked at Wuchang against greater numbers.
33:40And I failed.
33:42But only while daring greatly.
33:45You advanced on a larger army as Chinggis would.
33:48Soldiers understand losing is part of the journey.
33:52So long as a leader does not believe at the destination.
33:55Your father understands this.
33:57He did not act as if he did.
33:59Would you have him save a defeat?
34:01No.
34:02But speak as you do.
34:07Once.
34:08He feels as I do.
34:11And he would say it now had he voice.
34:14Lend him your voice.
34:17Speak for father now.
34:20And command as Khan.
34:31Who is the old man in the mountain?
34:46You certainly are not fond of your throat are you?
34:50You will not speak his name.
34:52And once I have taken you to him.
34:55He will never return again.
34:57We have no reason to.
34:59Unless we are invited by you.
35:02Ha.
35:03You learn well, Europa.
35:10Which way?
35:12To Eagle's teaching.
35:14One can only enter through paradise.
35:24A secret order formed at the time of the first crusade.
35:28The old man has always lived among them.
35:32Granting access to paradise.
35:38Is he a magic man?
35:39He is a holy man.
35:41I think you trade in black market fables.
35:44That's what I think.
35:46You have a much more genteel personality than your friend.
35:51It takes time.
35:52But he will suffer.
35:53Eventually.
35:54I will not.
35:56Eventually.
35:57I will not.
35:58I will not.
35:59Behamah, do you see?
36:01Bihama, do you see?
36:27It is not the sun.
36:28It is a golden passage into the heavens.
36:36Marvellous description.
36:50Are they watching us now?
36:53They have been watching you since before we exchanged names.
36:58I'm going to keep going.
37:02I'm going to keep going.
37:06Where is the wind?
40:38No one questions who you are, where you come from, what tongue you speak.
40:45You are welcome as you are.
40:49I can return you into paradise, if you wish.
40:54What have you done with our men?
40:55It is their choice, it is their choice to stay or leave.
40:58Some prefer to stay.
41:02Why are you?
41:03Why did you come?
41:06To discover?
41:07To discover or destroy?
41:10Give me my man and I will give you the answer.
41:15Discovery.
41:16I came to learn who hide your sons.
41:20Offer me, offer me this knowledge and you will gain favor with the most powerful men on earth.
41:27The great Khan lives then?
41:28The great Khan lives then?
41:29The great Khan lives then.
41:30And your disciples do not.
41:34Kill us.
41:35Kill us.
41:36Kill us.
41:37And the Khan will finish what his ancestors began.
41:41You must find us.
41:42You must find us first.
41:44If I could find you, the Mongols will find you.
41:48They will rain fire.
41:51Black out the sun.
41:53You will have no peace, no sanctuary, and my great Khan will prove you mortal.
42:01You are precisely the kind of young man I welcome here.
42:07Clever, spirited, and deserving of paradise, however you define it.
42:15We do not deal in names and faces, only in coin and anonymity.
42:32And how much coin did the son, Chancellor, give you?
42:35The hand that dropped the purse lives far closer to home, son.
42:45Safe journey, Marco Polo.
42:55How many more days and nights will this continue?
43:18What do you hope to get from a man we know can give you nothing?
43:21Nothing but hope that he might give me anything to use to avoid your war.
43:32You and I are not Mongols.
43:35We're servants.
43:37This is not my war.
43:39Yet you fight for it so rabidly.
43:42And you so rabidly against it.
43:44Why?
43:44The rebels have not once set foot outside Xiangyang for any purpose but trade and travel.
43:52They stage raids, and they attack my collectors as they ride the realm.
43:56The price of doing business in a treacherous world.
44:00Their army hides behind walls for fear of extermination.
44:04A wall that has defied and denied us for 70 years.
44:08Our men will die for no reason, save the ego of the man ordering the breach.
44:16Ego.
44:18Not armies destroys empires.
44:22Our Khan is chased to the wall by the ghost of Genghis.
44:30Our Khan still breathes.
44:32The man will soon join his brothers.
44:41And if you have your way, Ahmed, so shall we all.
45:02Word from my sister.
45:11Someone has attempted to kill the barbarian king.
45:21We're not alone in our loathing of the Khan.
45:28The devil sleeps soundly tonight.
45:32It displeases me.
45:34But he'll survive.
45:36He's fated to do so.
45:46Someone has foolishly stepped upon my path.
45:50Endeavoring to forge a tributary and force me down it.
45:54The Khan will awaken.
45:56The Mongol horde will descend upon my wall.
45:59On my blade.
46:00He'll find his destiny in the barbarian's heart.
46:10You're the only one I might speak freely to.
46:13The only one I can trust.
46:15It makes me happy to know I have this with you.
46:20It makes me happy to know I have this with you.
46:27This is my father's private quarters.
46:30The traitor is someone in his service.
46:33Someone he trusts.
46:35They may know the hand who made this march.
46:37Whose hand?
46:39Someone who has passed on.
46:40Two months to the Hindu Kush.
46:59Up, down, give or take a year, and you're in Venice.
47:03You have time before the snows fall.
47:06You were killed by the Hashishin.
47:07You would let me go?
47:12You are a guest in someone else's home.
47:14You should leave when you wish.
47:16If I now return, your host may be gone and you would be friendless.
47:19Are we not now friends, Biamma?
47:21I cannot save you in Cambylag.
47:23Would you defy the Khan?
47:33No.
47:34But this is my home.
47:36And if someone were keeping me from it, I would kill it to return.
47:39I don't know.
47:41DirecTV Stream Diesel engine is everyone.
47:42It's my home.
47:43It's my home.
47:44I would do it.
47:58I have to go.
48:30Mr. Wakes.
48:33Welcome news, brother.
48:36I will join him.
49:00My head is weak.
49:16It will strengthen.
49:19Perhaps it's best if it did not.
49:22My son seems to have that sidebar under control.
49:25You could easily have rushed into war.
49:30If you would have questioned the move, your control guided you.
49:36I never felt in control, sire.
49:38The curse of the Khanate.
49:50Gang, they must know that I am alive and well before we march into war.
49:54Give me to my throne.
49:56Okay.
49:56Wait a minute.
49:58Oh.
49:59Shit.
50:00Yeah.
50:01Okay.
50:04Okay.
51:07Treachery grows well in the fertile soil of contempt I've killed.
51:12Who else knows of this map?
51:13No one, but the Amber myself and its creator.
51:17Circle must remain small.
51:19What of Jing?
51:19I do not wish to burden them as of yet.
51:24Sir, you recognize the scratch?
51:26I wish to confirm this belief before I tarnish his name any further.
51:30I trust you both to do so.
51:35Follow the map where it leads under my aegis.
51:39Bring answers back to your car.
51:40Hold, Leighton.
51:53You defended me courageously, even in the face of death.
52:06I was one of many.
52:08And it pleases me greatly to return and find you well.
52:11Oh.
52:12Have you made your decision?
52:15Regarding the fate of your father and uncle?
52:18No, Lord Kublai.
52:19I thought, I hoped, you might pardon them.
52:27Is pardon punishment?
52:30I wished you would spare them.
52:33Why would I do that?
52:36Why would I do that?
53:03Why would I do that?
53:22Hi!
53:23No!
53:24No!
53:33Oh, my God.
54:03Oh, my God.
54:33Oh, my God.
55:03Oh, my God.
55:33Oh, my God.
56:03Oh, my God.
56:33Oh, my God.
