00:10I don't know what to do.
00:33The aim could not be more true.
00:37If the tree line is the wall,
00:39and we are two aeroflights scarce,
00:42true aim does not matter, does it?
00:46We need to bring the engine closer.
00:48Bring it closer, we will become pink cushions.
00:53We need a longer arm.
00:55Longer arm is bigger frame.
00:57Bigger frame is giant wheel, bigger rocks.
01:00You are making me to build a monster.
01:03You are the finest engine builder in Damascus now.
01:06Yes.
01:07Then build me a monster.
01:58I want to say, if I can't beat you, it is a work of God.
01:59I want to say, if I can't look at the monster,
04:05When I lead this assault, you ride with the House of Kublai.
04:15I am grateful for the honor, Coggin.
04:21But hear me, please, cousin.
04:25Twice my men and horses have ridden under your banner.
04:28Twice my men and two sons have fallen to the Chinese.
04:36If I do not lead this next assault, my men will return north, and I with them.
04:43Lord Kaidu, there is no need to rush.
04:46Let him rush.
04:48Let him rush home to be king of his gare village.
04:53King of nomads and sheep.
04:57You mock nomads?
05:01You mock Genghis?
05:03I mock cowards.
05:04No one else.
05:09Confer with your astrologers, cousin.
05:12Confer with your Chinese monks, your Taoist priests.
05:16Look to your Muslim al-moms and all your prophets.
05:19How goes the Latin's construction project?
05:22My understanding from your engineers is that it is a gamble.
05:32A fool's gamble.
05:33Mind your treason, uncle.
05:35Know this!
05:44As you lead your sons back into the jaws of Siddal's China,
05:50I will march north to Karakoram to defend the true Mongol capital.
05:55No one asked you to make a decree.
05:58Did you do so here before the throne of the Khan of Ghans?
06:03I do not need your horses, Kaidu.
06:07I do not need your house of all good day.
06:18Leave here.
06:20You are forever banished.
06:54Come with me.
06:56When I have avenged my father, I will come and honor yours.
07:00Look for me, Kutaran.
07:02I will ride back with many captured horses.
07:12Don't ride back with captured horses.
07:15Just ride back.
07:31Rise.
07:39Great emperor.
07:42Triumphant chancellor.
07:44The men of Suzhou are saddened by the passing of the empress.
07:48In honor of a memory,
07:50I pledge 5,000 men to the Song army.
07:53The governor of Suzhou.
07:56Very important man.
07:58Richer in swordsmen than he is in porcelain.
08:00And he has presented us with much porcelain in recent years.
08:05Will 5,000 troops suffice?
08:09No.
08:11I will pledge 10,000 men, my sovereign.
08:1510,000 to the great Song dynasty.
08:18His benevolence is most pleased, governor.
08:21We thank you and pledge expansion of your domain
08:24when the Mongol plague is removed.
08:35Pillow low, quilt is warm, body smooth and peaceful.
08:42Sun shines on the door, curtain not yet open.
08:49Before bonds and agreements can be duly made,
08:53a test of virtue must be witnessed.
08:57If these royal matrons witness no blood upon entry of the pigeon's egg,
09:04it is deemed that the prospective bride has been defiled.
09:10Pillow low, quilt is warm, body smooth and peaceful.
09:17The water flows, mind of its own.
09:22The birds return to perch.
09:35And when the test has been made,
09:38if the chosen has been...
09:40And since they have not left, let me fall.
10:06And I will come up anonymously.
10:10But I
10:14Thus, when the blood is of proper nature, the bride is proclaimed a virgin, the pending
10:23marriage valid.
10:25So be it.
10:28Sorrow and happiness are the heresies of virtue, child.
10:33As royalty, you understand such formality.
10:40To be fair, you can experience such formality.
10:40To be fair.
10:44To be fair.
10:49To be fair.
10:58Eliashe.
11:08Meditation.
11:12I can sit for a count of ten
11:14before I start thinking of all the things yet undone.
11:19How do Mongols raise their girl children?
11:25You will never find a more civilized queen
11:29nor a more compassionate mother.
11:32But she is still a Mongol.
11:36And when it comes to protecting her Khan and empire,
11:39she will do what needs to be done.
11:42As will I.
11:45A kindness shown to my child.
11:52It is said that a nobleman once drowned himself
11:55after a night in your bedchamber
11:57because there was nothing left to live for.
12:01Tea house songs have a way of growing into fables.
12:06There will be new songs sung about you, Mei-Lin.
12:08I hope not.
12:11You now long for anonymity.
12:14I think most do.
12:20The drums would disagree.
12:23Every set of beats tells of the Khan's mandate.
12:28And what do they say this night?
12:32Ball.
12:44Those skilled in warfare move the enemy
12:46and are not moved by the enemy.
12:51Get the enemy to approach by his own accord.
12:55If he is at ease, exhaust him.
12:58Well-fed, starve him.
13:00Settled, move him.
13:03I never knew you gave much merit to Sun Tzu's treatise on war.
13:09I don't.
13:10But the fact Mongol is trying to become Chinese,
13:13do not think for one moment
13:15that he will not be consulting Sun Tzu's manual.
13:17So if he expects us to attack, why mobilize?
13:20To draw the Mongols out.
13:22Kublai is sick with defeat.
13:24When he hears we are mobilizing, he will return.
13:27Weakened in numbers and by pride.
13:38Will they work?
13:40Every day we find the engines get stronger.
13:42Will they work?
13:44By your will, sire.
13:47And I will be ready to stand with them.
13:49Remarch whether they are ready or not.
13:53Vice Regent Yosef gave his life to give you this opportunity.
13:56Remember that.
13:59I will avenge my brothers who fell at Tianyang.
14:03And should I fail?
14:04Should you fail,
14:05I will leave you as Karen on the battlefield.
14:39Sarah do not
14:40you
15:05I don't have much time before Judah finds me missing.
15:08I need to know if you will follow me.
15:12Follow you?
15:16I am to be Prince Jinkum's wife.
15:20We must run, now.
15:29I cannot.
15:31Is living here with me not your wish?
15:47We run, as you say.
15:52We make it past the guards, the gate, the mountains, and praise our good fortune every day we awaken.
16:03Because there will not be a single night on which we are fully certain that a Mongol blade will not
16:10find us in our sleep.
16:13There is nothing beyond those walls but doubt and fear.
16:18All we can change is here, in this place.
16:22And how do you propose to do that?
16:25I must win this war for the car.
16:29And you think he will give me to you?
16:33Just like that?
16:36It's the only way.
16:40Good luck.
17:03Oh, my God.
17:26Do you desire a sip?
17:28I believe you need one.
17:33I just need your good words.
17:40You know, one of my darkest hours, cold and lost, in the Wudang Mountains, my life was saved by a
17:50small yellow bird.
17:54How?
17:55I caught it and ate it.
17:58That is a terrible story, Sifu.
18:00Would you find no wisdom?
18:04Your destiny is sealed by those machines.
18:07When you march south, if you take the wall, you will be lorded.
18:12Should you fail, there is no other soul to sacrifice in your place.
18:18There will be no such march, Sifu.
18:23Not for the Latin.
18:25And when I return from Xiangyang, he will be well on his way home to his thief father.
18:34Defeat me now, and you can fight in this war.
18:37Lose.
18:39You will ride for Venice at first light.
19:10You will ride for the old night at first light.
19:19I don't know.
19:59Enough.
20:14Avoid me on the field.
20:28Do you now desire that sip?
20:37I don't know.
20:56I don't know.
20:59Aren't you an audience with the Blue Princess?
21:02No.
21:03I have learned that less and well.
21:06Clearly not.
21:09I live tonight with the army.
21:12But I will return.
21:17I do not ask to see her.
21:20All I ask is that you deliver something to her from me.
21:27This is from the Silk Road, a place I hope to show her one day.
21:43The I Ching says this.
21:46Attempt to seize all of China and destruction will follow.
21:50The Silk Road you once opened will be overtaken by a black cloud from the west, leaving nothing but weeds
21:58and nettles.
21:59If you speak any more poetry, priest, you'll be growing weeds and nettles out of your tongue hole.
22:05Mind your nature, husband.
22:08Your most benevolent and holy khan, the I Ching tells no lies.
22:13Return war to the south, and there may never be harmony between the heavenly and primal.
22:39Do you observe that?
22:41He looked at you when he said the heavenly.
22:44Why conscript these priests and prophets into service if you do not heed their word?
22:49That priest is from south China.
22:50How do we know he does not have grandchildren behind those walls down there?
22:55Hear me, Kublai.
22:56You have only half the men and horses you had on the last march.
23:00Kaidu has gone north.
23:01Ven is north.
23:02Your men are tired.
23:05Uncertain.
23:07Another defeat will destroy the empire.
23:10Proclaiming peace will not only preserve man, it will preserve face.
23:14I care not about preserving face.
23:16Preserving life, then.
23:17My husband's life, my son's life.
23:21My war is with south China.
23:23Not with my wife and empress.
23:25You know I heed your wisdom.
23:27But there's no more waiting.
23:29This war must break before me.
23:32Or I can't try it.
23:34There's nothing else.
24:04There's nothing else?
