01:42Wuchang has fallen.
01:57As expected.
02:01Wise to withdraw our troops when we did.
02:06What else?
02:07My apologies, Empress, for taking so long to come and visit.
02:14I trust the accommodations I've been to your liking.
02:17A cell is a cell, no matter the tackle.
02:20I could put you in a real cell, Empress, and prove that assumption so very wrong.
02:26I feel as if I may have sprained my wrist.
02:30That's what your champion took out of me.
02:33The blind man was more agile, truth be told.
02:37Interesting choice for an assassin.
02:39I would have selected someone with eyes.
02:43Even Fang Zhen seemed surprised by him.
02:46Someone had to allow him inside.
02:49I wish to see the Emperor.
02:51I wish to see you, Lim.
02:56Lim is dancing her days away, and the Emperor is occupied with complicated matters of state.
03:03I will send them your regards.
03:05In the meantime, we will continue to detain you so as to protect you from murderers and assassins who could strike at any moment.
03:17Father!
03:35Father!
03:35How fair to you at Wu-Chang?
03:38You saw a victory, daughter.
03:44The sight of you pleases me more.
03:49The Khan awaits you.
03:51Hey, we'll wait a moment more.
03:54You have represented me well in the Khan's court.
03:57The word is, you are as formidable as ever.
04:00On this, word is not as true as it was, even yesterday.
04:05I was bested, father.
04:15You must be a formidable wrestler.
04:18The Khan's warrior son, Byambo.
04:21Do not be displeased, father.
04:26Did you surrender your honor?
04:30I surrendered mine to serve yours.
04:33You wanted me closer to the Khan's court.
04:36Yes?
04:40I approve, daughter.
04:42You should pursue the warrior.
04:45House of order, eh?
04:46Your golden holly took to Wu-Chang.
04:54As planned, Yong Yong will not be resupplied.
05:00Janemsus out there was bloody.
05:02You fared well, Great Khan.
05:04But we had the men and horses necessary.
05:08Their numbers seemed reduced, but those who remained fought well.
05:12We must be captured here.
05:14The slaves for your service.
05:16Your Khan is honored.
05:17Offers is welcome.
05:18Come.
05:19Let us raise a cup in your honor.
05:20War is on.
05:33We need to escape now.
05:36I begged you to leave, Toga.
05:38To save us.
05:39And you said you prayed to join me in this life or the next.
05:41I give you that choice now.
05:43I am to leave with the ladies of the court.
05:46They will know I am gone.
05:47I cannot go with you.
05:52I do not want to.
05:55Then we shall live together in the blue sky.
06:00Get away from her.
06:05Kukichin!
06:07Debbie!
06:08No!
06:09The Skull King is over.
06:16There is no love with the blue princess.
06:19She harbors no feelings for you.
06:23Leave!
06:25Now!
06:36Zappi!
06:37Mercury.
06:38Mercury.
06:39What have you done?
06:41Let's go!
06:41Let's go!
06:44Let's go!
06:44Let's go!
06:45Let's go!
06:46Let's go!
06:49Let's go!
06:50Oh, my God.
07:20I'm sorry.
07:28I'm sorry.
07:31I'm sorry.
07:50I must break the pawns again to make them right.
08:02Do it.
08:17Heal her.
08:18Will you come out or just cling to the shadows like a snake?
08:37Snakes are not attracted to shadows.
08:44A rat, then.
08:44Have the great pawns troops reached my home yet?
09:09They would slow their march as they approach.
09:16Let your people suffer the horror of anticipation.
09:23Wu Chang first, as you tried before.
09:28Kaidu of the Golden Horde has led the assault and succeeded where my brother Jingim failed.
09:38I have a place in the royal family.
09:43Are you a whore, son?
09:45That would explain your interest in me.
09:48My interest in you is self-interest.
09:51I have nothing to offer you now.
09:55You called for me.
10:20I thought you would have left for the war camp.
10:21I want to know of the assassin's condition before I depart.
10:25Will she recover?
10:26Still uncertain.
10:28Has she offered anything of worth?
10:30No, Empress.
10:31Nothing of note.
10:32Just mumbled worry for her daughter.
10:36Binding linen.
10:38Her daughter resides with us.
10:39Perhaps a resolution we seek is something altogether different.
10:47Speak of amnesty?
10:49No, Empress.
10:51Her daughter survives.
10:53We now possess the same leverage once held over her by Jasetal.
10:58When we need her, she will do our bidding.
11:00Yes.
11:01Make sure she recovers.
11:03Have news for me when I return.
11:04This is an accurate rendering, Master Poirot.
11:08It is.
11:09I saw the construction.
11:11The outer wall is a shell.
11:13There is no fortification.
11:16Cross the fort.
11:17The body will fall.
11:20We take the city.
11:22Saddam will dirty his knees before me.
11:24The Chancellor is aware he was infiltrated weeks ago.
11:27Surely he does everything in his power to bolster his defenses.
11:31Rectify his weaknesses.
11:32Our scout's reporter has been repairing the wall night and day.
11:36But it is still incomplete.
11:39We must strike immediately.
11:44Prince Jinkum's words are worthy of consideration.
11:49I can wait no longer.
11:51Poirot was right.
11:52If action is to be taken, now is the time.
11:56Go as my envoy to sit down.
11:57Extend an invitation for parley on the eve of his defeat.
12:00If he bows to me, he can avoid Mongol steel.
12:06Propose a piece of patience to him.
12:09See what it gets you.
12:11Siddhar will never be a subject under the comet.
12:14And this offer will enrage him.
12:16I've shown his council, army, and people that I'm a diplomat.
12:21Until the bitter end.
12:22You are the military emissary to the great Kublai Khan.
12:53I have that honor, Chancellor.
12:55I am vice-regent of the secretariat.
12:57And a foreigner.
12:59You must be as wise as you, ugly and odd.
13:03Have you ever seen an image of the Roman emperor Claudius?
13:07Or the Hunnic ruler Attila?
13:09No.
13:11But you're now going to tell me of the accomplishments of ugly men who were underestimated.
13:15I would not presume to educate you on the wiles of political men, calmly or otherwise, Chancellor.
13:22We had heard talk of Feng Zheng, the Red Lotus, taking a role in your empire.
13:30There was an assassination attempt in the fortress.
13:34Some tragedies were averted, some were not.
13:36I was so deeply troubled to hear of Kublai's own tragedy.
13:41Wives should not be taken in such a fashion.
13:46It is a violation.
13:49Yes.
13:49So, as Fletcher's stockpile arrows and your blacksmith's sharpened steel, you come with a bidding from your adopted master?
14:01The great Khan offers a parley to avert further tragedy and discuss peaceful arbitration.
14:07Surely you mean my subjugation.
14:10It is not for me to interpret my liege's intent.
14:14As his minister, isn't that exactly what you do?
14:16If not sculpt his intent yourself?
14:19I offer counsel.
14:21The Khan's decisions are his own.
14:24And you agree with his decisions?
14:31Kublai Khan is my leader, my guide.
14:35I serve God through serving him.
14:39The Khan is your divine conduit.
14:44No.
14:45He is merely a man with a vision.
14:52A hard place, Vice Regent.
14:55Serving a will you do not endorse.
15:00Tell your master I will meet him to hear his gracious offerings.
15:05My father has joined the war camp.
15:21Is Kaido come for the enemy's head or mine?
15:25He holds his oppositions for Sadao, not us.
15:29What tactics do you devise?
15:34You ride as one two-man along the bank.
15:37When the archer fires a whistler, we disband.
15:39Wolf and Crow.
15:40I take Wolf, you take Crow.
15:43Because you bested me.
15:46You think you will always ride Wolf.
15:50Make me ride Crow.
15:51I ride Wolf because I have more lances.
15:56You have archers from the step.
16:01This is my father's tent.
16:03I don't care.
16:04Do you strategize for the coming assault?
16:27Wolf rides Crow.
16:29We'll resume our war plans later.
16:49My lady.
16:50My lady.
16:57Kaido asked about you.
16:59How many horses in your herd?
17:01How able a warrior?
17:05Now I understand.
17:07You must check tooth and hoof before settling terms.
17:10The union will please our father.
17:13And I will prove myself to Kaido in the shadow of the wall.
17:17All will soon be settled.
17:18No doubt.
17:20Unless the war undoes us.
17:23Shenyang will bow to our Khan.
17:26We have the secret and the strategy.
17:27Why do you doubt?
17:30Our strategy turns on a foreigner's secret.
17:33I do not trust the Latin.
17:36And neither does Ahmad.
17:37What does Ahmad know?
17:39Mako saved me when he needn't have.
17:41He returned to Cambylac when he could have fled.
17:43The Umbar, we do not know what bargain was struck in your saving.
17:46Nor what motivated his return.
17:49Honor.
17:50Friendship.
17:52Perhaps.
17:54Would you offer evidence to support your doubts?
18:00Better.
18:03My confidence.
18:04Hey, Blonde Ben.
18:22Blonde.
18:25Come here.
18:25Come here.
18:30Do I look blonde to you?
18:32Blonde, are they me?
18:37Do you have any food, Blonde?
18:54You fast-skinned bastard son of the Khan.
18:56No, I am his servant.
19:02I too will become his servant given the chance.
19:05You wish to be?
19:07I wish nothing more.
19:11What skill do you have?
19:14I'm a weaver.
19:16The kind is fun of artisans of every type.
19:18I'm sure you will fare well.
19:23What if the Mongols lose?
19:25Would you still wish to serve?
19:29Men follow leaders.
19:32Sidao is half the man the Khan is.
19:36Kublai Khan will win.
19:39He will rule.
19:41Had you no knife to your throat,
19:43would you feel the same?
19:44I see no threat.
19:50Merely fence.
19:58They say the Khan welcomes anyone
20:00if they pledge loyalty.
20:02It's a true, Blonde.
20:05It is true.
20:06You come back, Blonde.
20:12I'll bring you more of that delicious meat.
20:19What is the state of power
20:21within the fortress walls?
20:23I saw no sign of the Empress,
20:25nor the boy Emperor.
20:27What parleyed in the song-thrown room
20:29as though Jassadah were the Emperor.
20:32Could Red Lotus encase the boy?
20:34Conspiracies abound.
20:35He did imply one thing.
20:38I believe he's under the impression
20:39that his sister was successful.
20:42He thinks Lady Chubby is dead.
20:44This misinformation could be useful
20:46in distressing his state of mind
20:48at the parley.
20:48The more unstable his mind,
20:50the more unstable his choices.
20:57Kaidu,
20:58welcome to the war.
21:05I've already fought one battle.
21:11Seems as if you have as well.
21:16Of all the warriors my daughter wrestled,
21:19she settled on you.
21:20Why is that?
21:23She didn't settle.
21:24I won.
21:26And I have personality.
21:29I swear.
21:32I have my thoughts in battle now.
21:35You can denounce me and call me pig if you like,
21:37but wait for tomorrow.
21:38And if you fall in battle?
21:40I am not that lucky.
21:41I am not that lucky.
21:43Yes.
21:46I know of your prowess on the field.
21:50Kuchelan would never look your way
21:51unless you were formidable.
21:53There's a reason she leads one of my tomans.
21:58She knows strength and noble character
22:00when she sees it.
22:03One wonders whether the kingdom of Kambalak
22:05or its kind of the same foresight.
22:13Farewell tomorrow, B'yamba.
22:19Fine horse.
22:23I am most pleased
22:24it was not added to my herd.
22:35All men suffer in furs and metal
22:44under the South China sun.
22:46I have the armor.
22:48I replace all neck guards with hide.
22:51Jingen believes the Song Chancellor
22:52will never himself appear
22:54on the field of battle.
22:56Of that,
22:57Sidale is wise.
23:00My son would cut him
23:01from gut to mouth
23:02in front of his own man.
23:05But hiding
23:07will not save his life.
23:11My Khan,
23:12my son,
23:13they will have
23:14what is doomed up.
23:24You suspected me
23:25when the young concubine died.
23:29Why not accuse me of the crime?
23:32You were too precious
23:32to the Khan.
23:33And I sensed promise in you.
23:37What promise?
23:40I do not yet know.
23:45Am I precious to you?
23:47Your brother
23:59made you into a whore
24:02for his ambition.
24:06Did that bother you?
24:07I made myself a whore.
24:10And I used him
24:11long before he learned
24:12to use me.
24:13when he was a boy
24:15and I a little girl
24:16living in the shadow
24:16of Shang Yang.
24:20I stared at the walled city
24:22dreaming what life
24:23might be like there.
24:28What did you dream
24:29as a boy?
24:31I suffered
24:32dreamless sleep.
24:33Did you come to the Khan service
24:39by choice?
24:41No.
24:43By chance?
24:48As chattel.
24:49No.
24:49Born of Persia.
24:57My people were the
24:58Funakati.
25:00I'm from Upper Asia.
25:02Not Persia.
25:05And brought to China
25:06to serve your conqueror.
25:08I was too young then
25:09to know him as a conqueror.
25:10He was my
25:13my patron.
25:16My benefactor.
25:20He became
25:21as a father to me
25:22and the Empress
25:24her mother.
25:26What happened
25:26to your real mother?
25:28Your true father?
25:31Was the Khan
25:32their benefactor too?
25:33No.
25:33No.
25:40How do you serve
25:46the monster
25:46who slew
25:47your brethren
25:48and call him
25:49father?
25:52You worship
25:53his whores
25:54concubine
25:56and queen
25:57and you are left
26:00here as nursemaid
26:01while war is waged.
26:10You attempt
26:22to crawl
26:23under my skin?
26:30I could get
26:31under your skin
26:31carve it free
26:34and wear it
26:35as a cloak.
26:39Better.
26:40I could walk
26:42next door
26:42and do the same
26:43thing to your daughter.
26:54What do you mean?
26:57Please, what are you
26:58what are you saying?
26:59War is waged
27:00on many fronts,
27:01Maylin.
27:02Please.
27:04What?
27:05What are you saying?
27:10What are you saying?
27:12What are you saying?
27:12What are you saying?
27:13What are you saying?
27:14What are you saying?
27:15What are you saying?
27:15What are you saying?
27:16What are you saying?
27:16What are you saying?
27:17What are you saying?
27:17What are you saying?
27:18What are you saying?
27:18What are you saying?
27:19What are you saying?
27:19What are you saying?
27:20What are you saying?
27:20What are you saying?
27:21What are you saying?
27:21What are you saying?
27:22What are you saying?
27:22What are you saying?
27:23What are you saying?
27:23What are you saying?
27:24What are you saying?
27:24What are you saying?
27:25What are you saying?
27:26What are you saying?
27:27What are you saying?
27:28What are you saying?
27:29What are you saying?
27:30What are you saying?
27:31I once saw an ink portrait of your grandfather.
27:46You are a more striking figure, I must say.
27:49My mother was more beautiful than his.
27:53She was a Christian, was she not?
27:56She was daughter and mother to cards.
27:59She could choose whichever card suited her.
28:01You ask for parley, as you stand with an army outside my city walls.
28:11How am I to take this?
28:13On bended knee, if you're wise.
28:17I have a wall.
28:19I will obliterate your wall.
28:22I will take your fraudulent crown, and I will spike your corpse to the gates of my new palace.
28:28Or, I will walk through the wall, after it is freely opened, accept your surrender, and offer gracious terms for the deposed Chancellor of Shenyang and his rebel army.
28:44You have power yet to save your people, Sadal.
28:48It's unfortunate that it has come to this.
28:56So deep into war that we make attempts on each other's lives, and those most sacred to us.
29:01I've heard of your favorite wife's beauty.
29:06Such luminescence should not be taken from us this way.
29:10So repugnant.
29:12Even your own vice regent is against this war.
29:16This tactics.
29:18When an honest man says nothing, you see his heart.
29:33I don't question his loyalty to you.
29:37But an absence of words speaks loudly.
29:43Perhaps he sees something we do not.
29:45I trust I'll find you on the field, Jazzy, now.
30:02May I introduce my luminescent wife, Empress Chabia?
30:06I'm greatly pleased to see you well, Empress.
30:18The Chancellor has declined my offer.
30:20There will be no peace this day.
30:22I will rip away his land as I would a weak heart from a coward's chest.
30:28Lord!
30:29Would people make better slaves than soldiers, Sadal?
30:32Fear not.
30:36I will reform them.
30:37Word!
30:39Stop!
30:52Stop!
30:53Stop!
30:56Stop!
31:01Stop!
31:05ORGAN PLAYS
31:35I couldn't look away when I first saw you
31:43I tried
31:45I tried to look away
31:48I told myself
31:50She's nothing but a whore
31:52Like the others
31:54Like my sister
31:56Meant to be used
31:59And discarded
32:01To make room for another
32:04I don't care
32:22I tried to find logic, only to realize what I feel for you defies such reasoning.
32:52I tried to find logic, only to realize what I feel for you.
33:22I tried to find logic, only to realize what I feel for you.
33:52I loved you.
34:06You lied to me.
34:10I loved you.
34:12I loved you.
34:14I loved you.
34:16I loved you.
34:18I loved you.
34:22I loved you.
34:24I loved you.
34:26I loved you.
34:28I loved you.
34:30I loved you.
34:32I loved you.
34:34I loved you.
34:36Oh, my God.
35:06You see?
35:17I don't.
35:18It's right here. The horse.
35:21This is the horse. This is the camel.
35:24That's the sheep.
35:26And that's the goat.
35:28You see now?
35:32Roll.
35:33I'll show you.
35:36Where do you live?
35:41At the sheep.
35:43Inside the Imperial City.
35:46An honor.
35:47It has become one.
35:50It wasn't always.
35:53I, like you, was once a prisoner.
35:56Within a slightly more gilded cage.
35:59I've never left home.
36:05Well.
36:08That's about to change.
36:10Yes.
36:12Wheeled away in a celled wagon.
36:14Only until you arrive in Camberlack.
36:18Will I live in Imperial City?
36:22Doubtful.
36:23It will be a step up from your current station.
36:31What will you miss most of all?
36:35Of my home.
36:41I can't think of anything.
36:43I can't think of anything.
36:43What do you miss of your home, Blunt?
36:53It's a horse.
36:59What is it, friend?
37:00Jing'an Khan has much to say on the subject of Marco Polo.
37:06His eye regard for my political argument, no doubt.
37:10He suspects you and your father plot against the Khan.
37:16Ahmed has fueled his jealousy.
37:19They believe you have seduced my father.
37:20Where do you stand, Biamma?
37:30You are not of this place, Marco.
37:33Jing'an is my brother.
37:35And what recourse does your brother propose?
37:39In battle, arrows fly from all directions.
37:43Heed the advice you should have taken long ago.
37:45As we advance south, you ride west, towards your home.
37:57Where you belong.
37:58where you leave the village in fun.
37:59Oh
39:29They are to be rendered into a weapon to rain fire upon Shang-Yang.
39:35It is the current strategy.
39:38He uses it as citizens against him.
39:41I pledge my life to the Great Khan!
39:45I pledge my life to the Great Khan!
39:47I've got the ground!
39:49Land!
39:49If you cannot bear what you see, avert your eyes.
39:55They are our captives.
39:59This is sin.
40:01It is war.
40:03Your Khan's war.
40:05Blunt!
40:06Blunt!
40:07Help me!
40:08I want to go home!
40:13I want to go home!
40:15Get out!
40:16Where are you going?
40:38Where are you going?
40:44What are you doing here?
40:51What happened?
40:54Are you hurt?
40:56Zabe was killed.
41:07This is a dark time.
41:17There are eyes on me.
41:19Doubt's directed.
41:21If anyone finds you here,
41:25you must go.
41:26I must go.
41:36I will return you to your care.
41:42There will be eyes on me as well.
41:44No.
41:54I am no royal.
42:04When the Khansmen attacked the Biyot,
42:11I was a peasant girl.
42:14Serving in the palace.
42:18When they left,
42:20I went with them to climb black.
42:23That's Kokuchi.
42:26You took her name.
42:28She took her life.
42:32I took her name.
42:37I must hold it forever.
42:44Her name is yours.
42:48Kokachin.
42:50I will protect that name.
42:53And you.
43:14No.
43:31Does my husband require assistance?
43:33Yeah.
43:36War American strength.
43:38Metal.
43:40Weather.
43:41Armour strength.
43:45No need.
43:49The soldiers with sturdy backs will surround me.
43:55They will take straight arrows for their card.
43:57My fierce Mongol warriors.
43:58So many will perish tomorrow.
44:07Yes.
44:09You must rest, good-bye.
44:11Genghis said.
44:13There's no good in anything until it's finished.
44:23Tomorrow, all that turned back the Mongols for 80 years...
44:28Were a fall.
44:30Your men are prepared.
44:32And behind them, Mongol women ready to fight if needed.
44:36You do this.
44:38And our house is whole.
44:40Your legacy secured.
44:42For yourself and our son.
44:43One Khan eat one Khan.
44:44One China.
44:45One Emperor.
44:46Indeed.
44:48You will destroy the wall, my husband.
44:50You will have the Chancellor's head.
44:51I wish my astrologist had such hopeful foretellings.
44:52But there is no good in anything until it is finished.
44:54I wish my astrologist had such hopeful foretellings.
44:57But there is no good in anything until it is finished.
44:58Let this wall earn your peace.
44:59Let it be your final conquest, my Khanku blot.
45:00I wish my astrologist had such hopeful foretellings.
45:01But there is no good in anything until it is finished.
45:02Let this wall earn your peace.
45:03Let it be your final conquest, my Khanku blot.
45:04Let it be finished.
45:05Let it be finished.
45:07I wish my astrologist had such hopeful foretellings.
45:09Let it be your final conquest, my Khanku blot.
45:15Let it be finished.
45:19Let it be finished.
45:22Let this wall earn your peace.
45:24Let it be your final conquest, my Khanku blot.
45:28Let it be finished.
45:34Let it be finished.
45:54Move!
45:56Have our horses be swift,
45:58our Isra╤А╨╛╨▓ trope.
46:01This day will be ours, father.
46:07Paulo, I made you watch the battle with me from the quest.
46:13I ride with my Mongol brothers, Sai.
46:18So brilliant.
46:21I'll see you on the field.
46:23Do not lose your mount.
46:31I'll see you on the field.
47:01We advanced, slaughtering every rebel who crossed our path.
47:09We reached the wall and pushed towards the weakness.
47:13The one the Latin described.
47:16We breached the wall with little more than battering rats.
47:20But our men were wedged into a dead end.
47:24Death rained down upon us.
47:27Oil.
47:29Fire.
47:30Arrows.
47:32Men died.
47:33Mongols died.
47:35Because Master Marko pointed our army into a trap.
47:41It was bait, Sai.
47:44The weakness in the wall.
47:46Jasidao drew us into a trap.
47:50I am sorry, Draco.
47:52Why do you feign contrition, Latin?
47:53Why are you not at the breast of your Master Jasidao?
47:57Huh?
47:58You delivered us to the devil!
48:00You betrayed us!
48:02You brought us to our knees at the wall!
48:07Father.
48:09He has brought us nothing but ruin.
48:12You can see it.
48:14You can all see it!
48:16I devote myself to you, great God.
48:19Enough of your twisted talk!
48:20You would protect him?
48:23He is not one of us, brother.
48:26He is the rot within our bones.
48:28He reported what he saw.
48:30As he was asked to do.
48:31Father.
48:32What shall we do?
48:33Father.
48:35What shall we do?
48:37Father.
48:39What shall we do?
48:40Let's kiss!
49:01Retreat.
49:05The End
49:35The End
50:05The End
50:35The End
51:05The End
51:35The End
