00:30My lady, they are upon us.
00:44The Khan has come. Run for the desert.
01:00Lady Coco Chin.
01:13Lady Coco Chin.
01:13Lady Coco Chin.
01:43The Khan is not better than the Eternal Blue.
01:51Lady Coco Chin.
01:52Lady Coco Chin.
01:56Lady Coco Chin.
04:05You will conduct yourself as you always do, with graciousness.
04:09Yes.
04:09You may have more in common than you imagine.
04:14That's doubtful.
04:17You lost another trinket.
04:21What?
04:22A bracelet.
04:24It slipped off my wrist as I rode.
04:29A poor decision to wear it on my whip hand.
04:31Yes.
04:32A poor decision.
04:35You take great risk to avoid a greater danger, I understand.
04:41In celebration of this new year, perhaps you would allow me to eliminate this danger with my sword.
04:50I do not.
04:52I do not.
04:52I do not.
04:53I do not.
04:54I do not.
04:55I do not.
04:56I do not.
04:57Father.
05:05Father.
05:06An auspicious day for departure.
05:21But you did saved our lives.
05:33I know this.
05:36Your uncle knows too.
05:38But will not confess it.
05:43I fear I will require another new year to repay the days I owe.
05:48The Khan will never allow you back into the Imperial City.
05:53We will meet again.
06:03Right here, nephew.
06:05We're your devils.
06:07We got you the Silk Road to die.
06:08The Brothers Polo have lost their golden tablet.
06:19Yes.
06:20Imperial past rescinded.
06:23I know.
06:24No lodging, no fresh horses, no vittles.
06:27They are vulnerable now to bandits.
06:29Biamba.
06:30I know.
06:31It's nothing they do not deserve.
06:35We should go.
06:37The Great Khan will be expecting an answer before the White Moon.
06:40We must offer him a head.
06:42We must offer him the right.
06:43Polo.
06:56Did you come to greet me?
06:58I'm touched.
07:00Did you miss Kotalan?
07:02The sun felt warmer on my face this morning.
07:05Now I know why.
07:05I'm to present myself to the Great Khan.
07:10Come, witness the pump.
07:12We are called to duty, lady.
07:14Come.
07:15Escort me, or I will tell the Khan of your disrespect.
07:18We are called to duty, lady.
07:41The plan's been finalised for the festival.
07:44They have.
07:45The games will commence.
07:47Right.
07:47The Latins' mission to Kochko.
07:56I sent him I would like a report.
07:59Did he return with the discovery?
08:03He and your brother learned as much on that trick as Yusef did,
08:06flaying the skin of the assassin's bones.
08:09And that is all?
08:11That is all.
08:14Polo awaits your audience.
08:15Oh, she dressed as a wiry-er-er lady.
08:19Performer.
08:21I love that girl.
08:23No, no, no, no.
08:32Are you aggrieved, Jing'er?
08:34I'm fine, Mother.
08:36Then be fine.
08:37The spirit's high for our Khan and our kingdom.
08:43Let us find resolution before the White Moon.
08:46I come here, Kagan, as emissary for my father, Kaidu of Karakorong.
08:57You are welcome, Kutla.
08:58My son.
08:59Sire, we were pained to hear of the cowardly assault on the Great Khan's person.
09:09It is my father's request and my wish that I remain with my horsemen in Kambalak as protector of the Great Khan.
09:16Kaidu seeks to ensure your safety.
09:22I'm your servant.
09:24I have ample protection.
09:27I welcome your presence.
09:30I accept your horse, your sword, your spirit.
09:34Your home.
09:35We're deeply honored, my child.
09:37I invite you to rest.
09:40Then join me and the ladies of the court.
09:43I require no rest, Lady Chubby.
09:46Lead, and I will follow.
09:51We tour Kambalak in preparation for the Festival of the White Moon.
09:58You will accompany us.
10:01I am deeply honored.
10:07I have a word with you, my princess.
10:32Why did you not listen to me?
10:34Why did you not run from this place?
10:35I want to know why you were the grasslands alone at night.
10:40I want to know who you leave the stones for, and why.
10:43That is none of your concern.
10:47I cannot protect you if you do not talk to me.
10:53Marco, I planted the serpent.
10:57I did not know it was you.
11:01I fear a discovery.
11:04Of what?
11:06Toga.
11:07The man you confronted.
11:09He's a survivor of the Puyant.
11:12He's a subject.
11:14Was.
11:15Does Sabin know?
11:16That is why he allows my rights.
11:18And abdicates his duty.
11:20I forbid him from handling the gems.
11:22I will not compromise my friend.
11:24I will carry the gems from now on.
11:30He wish not to compromise your friend.
11:34Imagine what will happen to him should you go missing now.
11:37He wants to postpone it.
11:38He wants to go to the doctor whoops.
11:41Woah.
11:42Listen.
12:12Good New Year to you, brother.
12:17I worry when you call me brother instead of bastard.
12:21It precedes a request.
12:23I need not request.
12:26I order.
12:27I await a command, Jing'en Khan.
12:32What news from Eagle's teaching?
12:35None to speak of.
12:36None?
12:37Or none you will speak of?
12:40None.
12:41We're talking about my father.
12:43I will know what danger he faces.
12:46Our father.
12:47I share news of danger with him alone.
12:51I disclose to the Khan it is for the Khan to report to the prince.
12:54That is the order of things.
12:56You want to know about Eagle's teaching, ask father, brother.
12:59If you know something, the burden is on you to defend him.
13:03And I will with my life.
13:05And if something happens to our father, I will be the one to take it.
13:17What did Jing'en want of you?
13:19A man's maid before the white moon.
13:21There are no others here, Biamba.
13:46Only pain.
13:46The most important answer may lie within.
13:49We must confirm it to understand our next steps.
13:53Sangha's family has lost everything.
13:56Get!
13:57Get!
13:58Get!
13:59Get out of here!
13:59Get out!
14:01What are you doing?
14:02Stay if you wish.
14:24Bobby.
14:26Can I see your mother?
14:27Sir.
14:32White devil.
14:39Arla, come.
14:41Take the children.
14:49My condolences.
14:53Forty days, Slattin.
14:55Forty days is the mourning period.
14:57Too late.
14:59I was away.
15:00At war.
15:00That was some time ago, Master Polo.
15:04Find a better reason for your absence.
15:06I have none.
15:10Golondi, I'm sorry for what happened to Sangha.
15:14More sorry for what I'm about to ask.
15:18Did Sangha ever travel to Kochkor?
15:22Do you suspect a dead man of another crime?
15:25You wish to resurrect him, Christian?
15:27Crucify him once more?
15:28He's tall, and he was punished for it.
15:30I did not sentence him.
15:33And I did not kill him, Golondi.
15:35And my husband did not send himself to Kochkor.
15:37But he did not kill him once again.
15:40But he did not go.
15:43He collected taxes.
15:46Every second fortnight, he wrote.
15:49My husband was an honorable man.
15:52Question the man who sent Sangha to Kochkor.
15:54Before you question that.
15:56Leave us.
16:06Leave us.
16:07Please.
16:08Please.
16:08We distribute 100,000 loaves of bread every month.
16:26Gold milk and yak meat when the great Khans hurt the fat.
16:29The people are fortunate for your grace, my lady.
16:34They take care of our wards.
16:36And they revere the Khan as their father.
16:40Today, they honor us by working tirelessly to prepare for the white moon festivities.
16:45Something wrong, Blue Princess.
16:56I was merely observing the peasants' devotion, their love for the royal benefactress.
17:01Do you question their devotion and their love?
17:05I do not.
17:07Stop.
17:08Does Lady Kochkor wish to speak on the topic of the common people?
17:17I apologize, Empress, for speaking with naught be to do so.
17:20Do so?
17:22Now?
17:27Has her lady walked the villages of Kambulak without a guard?
17:31I have not.
17:32The empress's perception of the city is tempered.
17:39The people love the Khan because he eases their pains, fills their wants.
17:44But the cause of those pains and wants is never permanently stamped out.
17:49That can breed resentment.
17:51Did you resolve such matters differently when your family held power?
17:56Blue Princess of Bayot.
17:58My relations with our people, Lady Chabi, were somewhat more direct.
18:06Is that so?
18:10I mean no offense.
18:12But the great Khan should know the minds of his people before he walks among them tomorrow.
18:18The Khagan has my sword and my shield.
18:20I will meet minds with metal, my lady.
18:24The great Khan is secure.
18:25Is the pain bad today, child?
18:49The child suffers, Chancellor.
18:54As do we all.
18:55But seeming cruelty can bring beauty.
18:59Pain purifies and leads to peace.
19:01These are lessons my sister taught me when I was a boy.
19:04The girl is too old for binding.
19:07We would have started at an earlier age were that her father's want.
19:11The emperor is gone.
19:13I am her uncle.
19:17It is my want.
19:18It is my want.
19:18She is a powerful man who injures little children.
19:28I miss my mother.
19:33We all do, Sunflower.
19:36But I've arranged to speed her journey.
19:38Now, look away, child.
19:41Are you mad?
19:58Never contact me.
20:01You will get us both killed.
20:07Out.
20:08Now.
20:12Why are you here?
20:13I will do.
20:16Tia Sidao took me into the palace.
20:18After you left, he sent me.
20:23He has new orders, Mei Lin.
20:25I need to stay until this mission is complete.
20:40Sitao offers this tiger root.
20:44Safe to the touch, but if ingested, it's a nut of a horse.
20:49This message says nothing of my daughter.
20:55Speak.
21:00He bound her.
21:10He will do worse if you fail.
21:14And assassination.
21:16What he asks me is impossible.
21:25What else did you find in Eagle's teaching, besides in pure gold?
21:38We found evidence that Sangha hired the Hushenship.
21:41He didn't choose to go.
21:42He was sent.
21:44We thought you might offer guidance.
21:47Because it worked for me.
21:49Sangha worked for many.
21:51From Kambilak too.
21:54Yes, Kochkor.
21:57The Hushenship deal in more than death.
21:59Black market trade.
22:01Silk.
22:02Coin.
22:02Salt.
22:04And currencies I do not countenance.
22:06Opium.
22:07Shish.
22:08You suspected and did nothing.
22:10I cannot eliminate corruption.
22:12And I will not condemn without proof.
22:14If Sangha were running black market goods throughout the realm, he'd need agents.
22:18Soldiers.
22:19Horsemen.
22:20Imperial guard.
22:22You've seen my soldiers.
22:24They toil before the abacus.
22:26I certainly do not command the imperial guard.
22:29That's Vice Regent Yusuf's domain.
22:31I simply state a fact.
22:39Thank you, Ahmad.
22:42Why did you finally report Sangha?
22:45You reported his transgressions to me.
22:48Had I not, it would have been you or I unjustly trampled in the dirt.
22:51How do preparations for the boys' coronation fare?
23:03I trust seating arrangements are managed.
23:05No awkward pairings.
23:08Lord Lee cannot tolerate pre-late chan.
23:16Leave us, please.
23:18Everyone.
23:21The Dynastic Council has chosen to dismiss you, Sidao.
23:37We appreciate your service to the Emperor.
23:40But it is time for you to step down.
23:47Have you anything to say?
23:49You have no authority.
23:50You are an old woman with a dead husband and no power.
23:56You have nothing.
23:59I have a champion.
24:04Do you know Fang Jian of the Red Lotus Society?
24:07My reputation.
24:09A peasant farmer.
24:10A scholar warrior of the highest order.
24:12A Song dynasty loyalist.
24:14A hero, Sidao.
24:17Because he was poor.
24:19A man of the people.
24:22He is not me.
24:26I shepherded this city, this empire, through a time of Timut.
24:30And that time has not passed.
24:32And that time has not passed.
24:33The Mongols will return.
24:35If they return, they will settle terms of peace.
24:38And negotiate those terms with him.
24:40Welcome to the fortress.
24:53And that time has not passed.
24:54Yes.
24:55Feng Zhen.
24:56Chancellor.
24:57Empress.
24:58I have been too long away.
25:00Take your pets and your porcelain, Sidao.
25:12And return to the rice paddies.
25:15It is poor form to disturb a man at prayer.
25:42We are here on the orders of the Khan, Vice-Retent.
25:45Not your God.
25:48A serious matter.
25:53We apologize for the disturbance.
25:56But the Khan has entrusted us.
25:59Do you remember Sanga, the collector of taxes?
26:03He was executed on your orders.
26:05My father and uncle committed a similar crime.
26:09They were branded.
26:12My Khan favors you, Marco.
26:15Thus spared your father and uncle.
26:18That was his choice, not mine.
26:20But the Khan had no hand in Sanga's end.
26:23Respectfully, death was your decree.
26:26He could have branded his palm, severed his hand, taken an eye.
26:29I could do these things to you for challenging the dictates of the Vice-Regent.
26:33We think, we think Sanga was sent to Eagle's teaching, a proxy for a greater power.
26:43The agent who delivered instructions for the murder of the Khan.
26:47And you suspect Sanga was my proxy.
26:51In the absence of the Khan, the Vice-Regent would control Kambulak.
26:56This is true until the Kurultai elected the next Khan of Khans.
26:59What motive have I, then?
27:02Vice-Regent, we do not accuse.
27:04We seek advice.
27:06The Great Lord trusts you.
27:08He does, Master Marco.
27:11I am trusted.
27:13Because I lack ambition.
27:14I desire no riches, so I am incorruptible.
27:21I have no blood claim to the throne, so there is nothing to which I may ascend.
27:28I am a servant who has but one function, which is, I speak truth.
27:36It is this respect I show my Khan.
27:39My days are driven by this alone.
27:44How do I best serve Kublai and his kingdom?
27:49There is clarity in service.
27:54But you lack us.
28:01Yet, here we are.
28:05Yet, here we are.
28:09But with what true purpose?
28:13The Khan can't send you.
28:15How will you earn his trust?
28:19Think on that as you take your leave.
28:25Allahu Akbar.
28:28Bismillah.
28:32Bismillah.
28:39Is my father safe?
28:45Why ask me, Jing'em?
28:47Did you ask our father?
28:49I did.
28:52He trusts Biamber.
28:54He trusts the Latin and offers me silence.
28:57Whatever they found in Kochka was of no consequence.
29:01He doesn't want to burden you with trivialities.
29:03He doesn't trust me with the truth.
29:04And what would you do with the Jing'em?
29:07What would you do if you had a target for your rage?
29:12I would let my Mongol heart guide me.
29:15I would kill.
29:16The great Khan knows this.
29:18If there is some truth to hold from you, he does so because he knows your heart.
29:24Let your father protect you.
29:27Let me, your brother, protect you.
29:30Until we find a true target.
29:32And
30:02Untrue by an inch.
30:03Untrue by an inch, untrue by a mile.
30:07It is in the split moment when all four hooves leave the ground, breathe, and scent.
30:14When you first arrived, you had too little yin, too much yam.
30:20And now too much yin, not enough.
30:31It's not so simple.
30:32Do not strive for the center.
30:35Just breathe with your horse and your arrow.
30:53They can't expect an answer.
30:55What answer to give?
30:57The cripple Yusuf is beyond reproach.
30:59He's of heights behind his words.
31:01Is that what you'll report?
31:11Untrue by an inch, untrue by a mile.
31:29I have no story to tell, sire.
31:38I believe my friend Sangha traveled to Goshkor, but I do not know on whose command, if anyone's.
31:43What are your suspicions?
31:45I must say nothing, for fear that they may condemn an innocent.
31:54All I know is someone seeks your heart.
31:58Yeah.
31:59Many too, later.
32:03But my children have been spared sight of me far too long.
32:08Take your life.
32:10Take your life.
32:12Your children want you alive, sire.
32:28Do you still suspect him?
32:31I don't know.
32:32I don't know.
32:33I don't know.
32:34I don't know.
32:35A weaker man would surrender a name to deflect suspicion from himself.
32:40As with a man burdened with guilt.
32:44I believe him to be neither.
32:46The boy has changed greatly since coming to us.
32:49He did not come to us, sire.
32:51He was left.
32:53A fact that bears recall.
32:55You suspect the latter's father.
32:58Did he abandon his son to serve his birth or his pope?
33:05So, what course of action tomorrow?
33:07We have detained and questioned your guards and staff.
33:12I believe them innocent.
33:14My suspicion of Marco has waned, but for now to be safe.
33:23Those whom lack your trust, kill me.
33:28Well, there were few left living if I heed that counsel.
33:33Should I trust you yourself?
33:37No.
33:45We will play another time.
33:47Good night.
33:56Good night.
34:03Good night.
35:11He's innocent in this world, isn't he?
35:13And you and I are not?
35:15No.
35:17We are warriors.
35:20I fear our world strips him of what innocence still remains.
35:26Then we do him a favor.
35:29The world is not kind to the weak and the guileless.
35:32Would you like to wrestle me?
35:39There are no witnesses, save Tengli.
35:42Do you think you can beat me?
35:45I think you wish me to.
35:48Not today.
35:50Are you afraid?
35:51I simply hear the Blades song right now.
35:54Where are you going?
36:09Where are you going?
36:11Where are you going?
36:21Where are you going?
36:22Where are you going?
36:23Where are you going?
36:24Where are you going?
36:25Where are you going?
36:26Where are you going?
36:27Where are you going?
36:28Where are you going?
36:29Where are you going?
36:30Where are you going?
36:31Where are you going?
36:32Where are you going?
36:33Where are you going?
36:34Where are you going?
36:35Oh, my God.
37:05I don't know.
37:35If it pleases the con.
37:56If it pleases the queen.
38:04It does not please the queen.
38:18I don't know.
38:26I don't know.
38:36I don't know.
38:37I don't know.
38:38I don't know.
38:40I don't know.
38:41I don't know.
38:42I don't know.
38:43I don't know.
38:44I don't know.
38:45I don't know.
38:46It seems life has left her too soon.
38:53It seems life has left her too soon.
39:14The Khan's consorts must not cry.
39:19It clouds the eyes and ruddys the complexion.
39:22Death is life.
39:23Now is not the time for tears.
39:37Will you return to your village, Chancellor?
39:40I was too grand for it when I was part of it.
39:42I've grown grander since.
39:45I have been an admirer of yours.
39:47From afar.
39:49From the battlefield.
39:51You have been an annoying thorn in Kublai's side for many years, Feng Zhen.
39:55Frightening his tax collectors, burning his crops, storing weapons in loyalist settlements.
40:01Settlements that bear the brunt of the Khan's brutality after you've moved on.
40:05I've long admired you as well.
40:09I tire of warfare.
40:10Before or after Empress Dowager offered you my title.
40:14War is pointless.
40:17It never ends.
40:18Yes.
40:19The warrior who rejects war.
40:23Empress is more intelligent than I suspected.
40:25You are foolish.
40:27We are like-minded.
40:28Chancellor, in our need to defend Xiangyang, I will do so until my final breath.
40:35Peace is possible.
40:37And it begins just now, with our peaceful transition.
40:57It's a time.
40:58It is, Father.
41:06But I did not advise your attendance.
41:09What can be done has been done, General.
41:14You are really like your mother.
41:17Vice-Regent Yusuf himself concurs with me.
41:22Yourself is worse than your mother.
41:23We do not yet know who conspire against your greatness.
41:29Rumor breeds fear.
41:32People do not know if blood courses through my veins.
41:36Or if my body rests with Genghis in Barkan Khaldun.
41:43I must show them that, Khan.
41:46You were concerned you were seen as weak.
41:50Hmm.
41:53Can I afford to bolster these perceptions?
42:00There is no question, Father.
42:03You slayed Arik single-handedly.
42:07Why was that necessary?
42:10Why did my brother challenge me?
42:14He saw me as weak.
42:18Despite what I did, it was still...
42:20Rumor of my decline.
42:25The worry for succession.
42:27The line is clear.
42:28But not guaranteed, Jing'an.
42:32You will be opposed at the call of time.
42:34When the time comes...
42:37Kaidu...
42:39I am...
42:41Many feel entitled to my throne.
42:43The throne is mine.
42:45And I will ascend to it.
42:46There is nothing I desire more than this.
42:51But you fear I will fail.
42:52You must prove yourself to the Khanate.
42:55Until you do.
42:57Until you silence all doubters.
42:59I must be strong.
43:04And so today, you risk yourself.
43:10I fulfill my duty.
43:11Rally my people.
43:19To inspire your strength.
43:24Am I such a burden?
43:29Am I son?
43:31Am I son?
43:31Dolga.
43:57I spoke to Kakachin.
44:00I did not come to hurt you.
44:03I came to help you.
44:04You lie.
44:06I know who you are.
44:08One of the Bayot.
44:10A survivor of the massacre.
44:14I know she protects you.
44:16I protect her.
44:18No more.
44:19If I found you, someone else will find you.
44:22It will be your undoing and hers.
44:25You risk the princess.
44:26The princess is all I have.
44:27You love her.
44:31There was an arrangement.
44:33Long ago.
44:34We are to be together.
44:35I will bring you the stone so you will not see, Kakachin.
44:49But you will live.
44:49All bow down and worship at once, your Lord.
45:07God save and keep our Lord long with joy and gladness.
45:12Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:16Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:16Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:17Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:18Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:19Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:20Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:21Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:22Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:23Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:24Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:25Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:26Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:27Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:28Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:29Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:30Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:31Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:32Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:33Long live the Khan of Khans.
45:34I'm sorry.
45:56Erla.
45:58No line of full water on the night of the white moon.
46:04I'm sorry for what happened to your father.
46:10As you said, you did not sentence him.
46:13And if he was a thief, he was deserving of punishment.
46:17Sangha was a good man.
46:19What do you think he did?
46:22What was it Ahmad sent him to do?
46:25I cannot answer that.
46:27Never again read that suspicion.
46:29For your family's sake.
46:31Never.
46:34Never again.
46:39Move on.
46:41Help your family to find the future without him.
46:43Help your family to find the future without him.
47:04The bracelet is delivered.
47:21I am most grateful.
47:23I will repay your gesture in the future.
47:25You can repay it now.
47:27With the answer to a question.
47:29How is it that a peasant wed the princess?
47:31No royal mayor is beneath their station.
47:32Then Tulga is delusional.
47:33I cannot be with Tulga, Master Marco.
47:34Any more than I could be with you.
47:35You avoid a direct answer to my question, blue princess.
47:36Silence is no shield, Kogachin.
47:37Silence is no shield, Kogachin.
47:38If you expect me to deliver the gems to your subject, I need to know if that subject is mad.
47:40He is not.
47:41He is not.
47:42He is not.
47:43Then the right map shall be arranged.
47:44Then the right map shall be arranged.
47:45I cannot be with Tulga, Master Marco.
47:46I cannot be with Tulga, Master Marco.
47:47Any more than I could be with you.
47:48You avoid a direct answer to my question, blue princess.
47:51And the right map shall be arranged.
47:52Is the Khan aware?
47:53You lack humor, Latina.
47:54I intend none.
47:55You lack humor, Latina.
47:56I intend none.
47:57I'll be with you.
47:58But I will be with you.
47:59I am not going to be with you.
48:00It's not going to be with you.
48:01Silence is no shield, Kogachin.
48:02If you expect me to deliver the gems to your subject, I need to know if that subject is mad.
48:04He is not.
48:08Then there are maps shall be arranged.
48:13Is the Khan aware?
48:16You lack humor, Latina.
48:19Intent none.
48:22I am deceived.
48:30It is time for Jing'an to take a new wife, I think.
48:35I'm a more fertile bitch, I hope.
48:38I'm sort of as barren as my go-be.
48:42Trust you have someone in mind?
48:49You've been so suspicious.
48:54Do you think they are a home girl?
48:55Yes!
48:56I do I do.
49:04Thank you!
49:08Thank you!
49:13Oh!
49:14Let's go.
49:44Let's go.
50:14Let's go.
50:44Let's go.
51:14Let's go.
51:44Let's go.
52:14Let's go.
52:44Let's go.
53:14Let's go.
53:44Let's go.
