00:17I'm not sure what you're doing.
02:53I fear they may be less compliant now, but we shall do what is necessary to bend the willful.
03:02My lord.
03:06Is that truly all?
03:11Do you not wish to discuss your counsel or my disregard of it?
03:25The polo matter.
03:27Are you prepared to proceed?
03:59The Khan of Karns grants you a final audience to plead for mercy.
04:14I will not plead for mercy.
04:17I will not plead for mercy, but I will defend myself.
04:21May I seek clarity as to the charges levied against me?
04:39I take no pleasure in this, Master Marco.
04:41I will.
04:42But it seems great misfortune has descended upon our kingdom on your arrival.
04:47I did not choose to remain here.
04:49I chose to be released to my father.
04:51Your time in the Kochko region, your ability to enter and leave without repercussion.
04:56And do you suspect, Biamba, son of the Khan, to have blood on his hands?
05:00We traveled side by side.
05:04Is that accurate, Biamba?
05:06Were you always at the Latin side on your journey?
05:09I was asked to be here and I came.
05:11But you cannot compel me to be parted to this.
05:19No.
05:21We were not side by side.
05:25There was a point where he was negotiating for my life.
05:28While I sat captive, preparing to die.
05:32And if I remember, you sent the Latin with me on my journey.
05:36After he convinced me to do so.
05:38How does your body stand straight without a spine?
05:41Shang-Yang.
05:44The loss.
05:46Your journey there.
05:48Your time with the whore's whore, friend.
05:52Sanctioned by the Khan of Khans.
05:54You alerted the Song to our pending attack.
05:56You conspired to lead us into the slaughter.
05:58What need would they of warning?
06:02They knew we were descending at a week's distance.
06:06As to the wall, I am guilty.
06:12I fonder in the blood of the thousand superiors for my error.
06:17I have no defense.
06:23But right or wrong, I have done nothing but serve my captor and Khan.
06:31And only him?
06:37Yes.
06:43Is that all?
06:46Nothing you have presented is punishable by the laws of the Khan of Khans.
06:53I heard this translated.
06:59Would you care to share with the Khan the words that you keep so closely to your still-beating heart?
07:07All kings shall fall before him.
07:11All kings shall fall before him.
07:16It was a gift.
07:17It was a gift.
07:18From father to son?
07:19Yes.
07:21A verse from the scriptures of a religion welcomed like all the others within the walls of Kampulak.
07:28A faith with designs on our kingdom.
07:30I know nothing of that.
07:33But I do believe you have designs of the Vatican.
07:37What of it?
07:40Respectfully, Lord Khan.
07:43We reap what we sow.
07:45You speak recklessly.
07:46I speak honestly.
07:49You deserve honesty.
07:52You believe I should not conquer the West?
07:57On the contrary, Lord Khan.
08:01The most common law of nature and of man
08:06is to take what has been mandated by God
08:11or by the swords and arrows you command.
08:15You claim both.
08:17But you must be prepared for the resistance of the Lionhearted.
08:21And the West is not weak.
08:38If you have nothing more to say, to champion your cause.
08:43It seems my end is guaranteed, no matter what words I sound.
08:49Indeed.
08:54Oh.
09:12You may be able to marry the other way.
09:24You're right.
09:24Oh, why?
09:24I don't want to marry our Lord.
09:24Today I have a lead.
09:24Bye, bye.
09:26Bye.
09:27Bye.
09:29Bye.
10:01The Imperial Seal is yours, Chancellor, and with it, the dynasty.
10:09Chancellor, even still?
10:12Unless your birthright has altered.
10:18The seven families are arriving.
10:20Songs of your victory have carried far and wide
10:23how you eviscerated the Mongol horde, body and soul.
10:29They're prepared to pledge their fealty to the Emperor.
10:35They're going to want to see the boy.
10:38That is assured.
10:40No one truly believes that boy guides his own hand.
10:45Yet the sheep elevate him.
10:50They must stand behind him.
10:51A wise tactic, my Chancellor.
10:56I suppose I couldn't simply imprint this on his skull
11:00and float him down the Yangtze.
11:07Tell me your name.
11:09You need not fear me.
11:11It is Judar, my princess.
11:16You may call me Kokachin.
11:19No, princess.
11:20Do you defy me?
11:23In this, I do.
11:26If you defy this simple request,
11:28how am I to know you will not defy a greater one?
11:31The truest of servants knows our needs better than we do.
11:35Leave us.
11:40I was your age when I was promised to Kublai.
11:44It was terrifying.
11:46I knew he would be gone,
11:48even if he himself did not.
11:52At the time,
11:54I felt as if I was unworthy,
11:56that a mistake had surely been made,
11:58and at a moment's notice,
11:59someone would unveil me as a fraud.
12:05It was not until Kublai's mother gifted me this,
12:09the finest of silks,
12:11to be woven into my presentational gown
12:13that I knew it was true.
12:15I kept what remained
12:16to one day give to a daughter of my own.
12:26It is lovely.
12:28A mere reflection of the beauty who wears it.
12:34I also come to pay condolences
12:36and to inquire as to your heart.
12:42I lost a good friend.
12:44Your only friend,
12:46if I recall.
12:49I hope it's no longer the case, my queen.
12:53If you speak of me,
12:56speak with certainty.
13:03I'm afraid loss has infected the kingdom of late.
13:08With more on the horizon.
13:13So I've heard.
13:15You have heard?
13:19The latin is to be executed.
13:28At door.
13:30A seamstress will pay you a visit shortly.
13:39Master Polo,
13:41I came to inquire as to your state of mind.
13:46My thanks for your concern, Jing'em.
13:50Prince.
13:51Prince, Jing'em.
13:58I know this seems unjust.
14:01It's hard for you to see sitting where you are.
14:05But understand
14:07that this is entirely for the good of the kingdom.
14:14Do you hunt?
14:18In our culture,
14:20your first hunt,
14:21as in many things in life,
14:24is a very lonely enterprise.
14:28You were cast into the wilderness
14:29with nothing more than a bow and an arrow,
14:32and instructed not to return without meat.
14:36For the kingdom,
14:39it can take a day,
14:41a week,
14:43some never return.
14:50What do you think
14:52is the most vital trait
14:53for the hunter to possess?
14:55Please, Jing'em,
14:57do not mar my final hours.
15:01Patience.
15:06I saw its horns first,
15:09grand,
15:10stretching to the heavens
15:12and catching the morning light.
15:14A mighty trophy.
15:18I set my arrow,
15:20took aim.
15:23He was gone.
15:28But I had a feeling about him.
15:32And so I waited another night.
15:35It was so cold.
15:37I wanted to run home.
15:39A handful of kills passed me by.
15:43I could have slain them all,
15:45returned triumphant,
15:47dipped my finger in the fat of the kill,
15:50been deemed a man
15:51and slept in my own bed.
15:56But I waited.
16:01As I felt the sun warm me
16:03the next morning,
16:07there it was,
16:09passing between the trees.
16:16My father was so proud.
16:39Patience.
16:42Patience.
16:43Patience to ensure that true aim
16:44finds the true target.
16:47An innocent target
16:48whose offense was crossing paths
16:51at the wrong time
16:54with the wrong person.
17:14death.
17:17Another lonely enterprise.
17:21May your God accompany you,
17:23Master Polo.
17:31You will need it more than I
17:41Let us not build strife
17:43Where none should exist
17:44Pride and hope have filled the coffers of the people's spirits
17:48Those coffers were never depleted
17:50You simply convinced yourself otherwise
17:52To support your own machinations
17:54Why am I your enemy
17:56When you're the one prepared to bury our culture
17:58In history's potter's field
18:01Landed gentry of the south prepared to meet
18:03Are these the same landed gentry
18:05Whose land you stripped against my husband's wishes not long ago
18:08The proceeds from the fields helped fund our defenses
18:11And each now pledges their support
18:14For an assault on Cambylac
18:15My compliments, Jia Si Rao
18:18Insincerity still?
18:20I'm nothing but sincere
18:22You set out to undermine the council
18:24And retain the chancellorate
18:27Fang Jian fell
18:30You sought to repel the Mongol horde
18:32And masterfully lured them into a hornet's nest of sharpened steel
18:36You wish to gather southern China into one indomitable force
18:41And gird them for the final unification
18:45I have no doubt you will succeed in that as well
18:48But you will do so without the support you're about to ask of me
18:52How might I convince you of the folly of your decision?
18:55Stop tinkering with that and look at me
19:02There is nothing you might say or do
19:04Ever
19:08I assume that would be your answer
19:10Very well
19:11I shall go it alone
19:14Yet again
19:14You need the emperor in order to accomplish your final design
19:19You cannot lock me away from him forever
19:22My dear empress
19:25I never considered that an option
19:57You're here to defend him
19:59Lord Khan
20:01Years ago
20:02You took my eyes
20:04Today
20:06I offer you the rest of me
20:08What do you speak of?
20:10If the boy is culpable
20:12As you say
20:13And I have no reason without the Khan's good judgment on such matters
20:19Then I am equally culpable
20:22You entrusted the Latin to me
20:24I trained him
20:25Fought beside him
20:27How can you not believe me complicit?
20:30Get out
20:31Lord Khan
20:32Guards!
20:33Escort the monk out of my sight
20:35Do not allow him to retire
21:01Where do you intend to go?
21:03The Ministry of Justice
21:04For what purpose?
21:05None of your concern
21:08My apologies
21:09But you may not leave, princess
21:11Pardon me?
21:13I cannot allow you to leave
21:14You're my servant
21:16As well as your defender
21:19Whom do you take orders from?
21:21The blue princess commands me
21:22As dictated by the great Khan
21:24You had best remember that
21:27Stand aside
21:36Empress Chubby has instructed that you remain in your quarters
21:42Until?
21:43We receive further orders
22:01reheating oy 저녁
22:02Oh, yes
22:15Come here
22:15Now
22:15The blue princess
22:15Hello, Ling Ling.
22:19I appreciate your regard, child.
22:23But sit with me.
22:31You're beyond your years in grace and training.
22:35Regretfully, that is found far too infrequently in children your age.
22:39My thanks, my lady.
22:41When I was a young girl, my mother told me it was as if I had been raised by wild
22:47yaks,
22:48spitting and kicking everyone around me.
22:54How are you feeling?
22:57My feet hurt less, my lady.
23:01Good news.
23:04How are you finding your time in Camberlock?
23:06I enjoy it greatly.
23:10You miss your home.
23:12Your family.
23:17Tell me of your mother.
23:20To have a daughter such as yourself, she must be lovely.
23:24She is. She is a dancer.
23:30A dancer?
23:32Does she dance for you?
23:33For my father.
23:37I am quite sure he enjoys that.
23:40She was his favorite.
23:46His favorite?
23:51Did your father have many dancers?
24:04Does your father still live?
24:11Did your father sit on a throne?
24:18We own Chinese royalty.
24:20It's more precious than anything that surrounds us in this moment.
24:24The question is how best to use it.
24:27We own nothing.
24:29The daughter rightfully does not trust me.
24:32The mother less so.
24:33The mother is like a wounded animal.
24:35Desperate for kindness.
24:36One which will lick your hands simply to get a taste before biting.
24:41Some men pay good coin for such pleasures.
24:44I wonder sometimes about that mind of yours.
24:48Clear and intent, Lady Empress.
24:51Then be intent on this matter.
24:54To tame an animal.
24:56It must fear the raising of your hand.
25:00It may be just ahead of you at this moment.
25:04How so?
25:05I planted a seed in the mother's head that her daughter is...
25:09closer than she first envisioned.
25:13I imagine it may have sprouted as a weed.
25:15Hmm.
25:30I value your friendship, Sifu.
25:33As I've stated time and again, I'm not your friend.
25:38Far from it.
25:39I know you wish to believe that.
25:42But you cared for me.
25:44Taught me.
25:45Protected me.
25:47What would you call that if not friendship?
25:50An onerous burden.
25:54In a few hours time, that burden will be lifted.
25:58I would have lost a friend.
26:01Is there no escape?
26:03From you leaving this mortal body?
26:06Yes.
26:08None.
26:09Unless you can find something to give to him that is more valuable than your life.
26:15No.
26:18No.
26:20No.
26:23No.
26:33No, no, no.
26:36No.
26:36No.
26:36No.
26:37No.
26:38No.
26:40No.
26:49Why?
26:50She missed your father so much.
26:53Sometimes hearts are broken,
26:55and they cannot be pieced together again.
26:59Will mine break?
27:00No.
27:02Because you do not need her.
27:04You do not need me or anyone.
27:06You need only this.
27:16What do you see?
27:19A park?
27:20You're most correct.
27:22But it is so much more.
27:24This mantis that I give to you
27:26was one of 300 nymphs.
27:29Babies.
27:30About this big.
27:32Imagine that.
27:34300.
27:35The strongest among them kill the weakest among them.
27:38Until the very best are left.
27:40A mere handful.
27:42This mantis will leave this life within 10 months of today.
27:48You must take this time as an opportunity
27:51to learn everything you can.
27:53To study.
27:54To practice.
27:55To absorb all the lessons of the mantis.
27:57For there are many.
27:59Patience.
28:01Speed.
28:02Adaptability.
28:03Ruthlessness.
28:05The traits of a warrior king.
28:08Heed my words, my emperor.
28:11And you will become as the mantis.
28:29Judas.
28:33Yes, princess?
28:38Yes, princess?
28:41Yes.
29:00Ah!
29:05Ah!
29:06Ah!
29:08Ah!
29:09Ah!
29:10Ah!
29:10Ah!
29:31What are your thoughts?
29:34I do not know.
29:41Is it my doing?
29:44Are you frustrated with me?
29:46No.
29:47No, never.
29:53I need you here.
30:00I am.
30:07Why am I not relieved?
30:12You are sensitive to the grief of others, no matter their transgressions.
30:18Every breath the Latin takes is a burden on your soul.
30:23At sun's light, we will find relief.
30:43Did I introduce a curse into our bed?
30:49You are the son of a Khan.
30:53A Khan in waiting.
30:58Default rests with me and me alone.
31:24Do not make your presence known.
31:30I wanted you to see that she lives.
31:33As you wished.
31:36She will always be here.
31:38Under my watchful eye.
31:40Under my tutelage.
31:42I will care for her as my own.
31:51Look at her.
31:53Remember her.
31:55You will never see her again.
31:59But if you do what I say, when I say it,
32:02you can be secure in the knowledge
32:04that her days will stretch long before her.
32:18Come now.
32:44What is the benefit of being a princess
32:46if your lord requires you to perform your own labor?
32:50We will do the same to our children one day.
32:54Where are your belongings?
32:56I looked for what I should pack and realized
32:58everything I need is here.
33:03In a week's time, we will be home.
33:08Is this as foreign to you as it is to me?
33:11More so.
33:13Do you think we will ever settle into it?
33:15I hope not.
33:17I hope not.
33:42Minister.
33:57Is this what you summoned me down here for?
34:00You oversee war.
34:04And I am going to tell you how to win it.
34:09Thank you for coming.
34:12Do you think I would deny a dying man an audience?
34:16I know nothing of you.
34:17In this, you are at a decided advantage.
34:22Your journal.
34:24It is most enlightening
34:26when one has unfettered access
34:28inside a person's thoughts.
34:32Warrantless access.
34:34To be fair, you were an enigma.
34:37One that had grown close to my card.
34:40You could have sat with me
34:41prior to my last night of life
34:44and asked.
34:46I am certain you would not have granted me
34:49the insight I required.
34:54But I procured the journal
34:56prior to your writing
34:57of one curiosity.
35:00What made you cease
35:01your attempts at escape?
35:05Was it her?
35:11Under the circumstances,
35:14you need not hold your tongue.
35:21Partially.
35:25Significantly.
35:27But not entirely.
35:39Tell me.
35:47The walled Phoenician city of Tyre.
35:50He defied Alexander
35:52for 13 long years.
35:55Built on an island,
35:57Tyre was walled to the sea.
35:59An insurmountable fortress
36:00that was key to all of Persia.
36:02He attempted to breach the walls
36:04using common instruments of war.
36:06Arrows,
36:07battering rams,
36:09catapults.
36:10But three dozen men
36:12are needed to load
36:13and fire one.
36:18Alexander employed
36:20the trebuchet,
36:22a siege engine
36:23powered not by men,
36:25but by a counterweight.
36:27Imagine the weight
36:28of 6,000 pounds
36:30on one end
36:31and a 300-pound rock
36:33set on the other.
36:35Imagine firing 1,000
36:37in a single day.
36:44Imagine what even three
36:46of these engines
36:47could do
36:48to the walls
36:49of Xiangyang.
36:51And at a distance
36:52that keeps the army
36:53safe from archers.
36:55Correct.
37:01Altruism still?
37:04Even in the face
37:05of your execution?
37:07Not purely.
37:10I'm not afraid to die.
37:13But I'm terrified
37:14to do so
37:15while branded a traitor.
37:24What is the entirety
37:25you spoke of earlier?
37:28What else made you stay?
37:34The moment
37:35the Khan gave me
37:36the choice
37:36to deliver my father
37:37from death.
37:40He is a good man.
38:02Grandfather,
38:03why couldn't
38:04you have taken that?
38:06Why couldn't
38:07you have taken
38:07that wall?
38:11Why couldn't
38:13you have taken that?
38:32My emperor,
38:34these men are all
38:35that remain
38:35of the Red Lotus,
38:37traitors within the kingdom
38:38determined to undermine
38:39the emperor's mission,
38:41Determined to destroy the emperor and his dynasty
38:44They are your enemy
38:46They are weak
38:48They must be punished
38:51What does the strong mantis do to his weaker brothers and sisters?
38:58Kill them
39:08A catapult
39:11A waste of my time
39:13Lord Khan
39:14With respect, this may very well be the key
39:17The key to Shang-Yang, finally
39:21If only my vice-regent had attained this key years ago
39:25Some magical solution?
39:27Why did you bring this to me when I know you crave my failure?
39:31If that is what you believe
39:34Then you have not been listening to any...
39:36Enough of your insolence
39:40You...
39:43Beg for my part in the Zedris game
39:47No, sire
39:49Begging is for the guilty
39:57I've seen strung a man than you weep before the right
40:02When the time comes
40:04Be brave and sure
40:08Birth is coming at dawn
40:12No matter how loud you cry
40:16Lord Khan
40:17Yeah
40:32No matter how old you get through the smell, you המ
40:33Has noticed
40:34When you say you have the duty of state
40:34and you have to say how Swedish
40:37If you do this the fact can't be addressed
40:38You have to laugh
40:38You are always talking about your dignity
40:39It's authentic
40:39You're trying to yourself
40:39If you are you're listening to your mother
40:39You are using your father
40:39There isn't
40:39And you're doing
40:39You are doing
40:40You do your life
40:47Too many people
40:55Oh, my God.
41:44Oh, my God.
41:47Oh, my God.
42:17Oh, my God.
43:06Oh, my God.
43:12Take your leave.
43:13There is honest work to be done.
43:15This is merely a statement of facts.
43:18Oh, you hired the assassins.
43:20You manipulated that whore, Mei-Len.
43:22You instructed my brother to withhold his troops from Wu-Chang.
43:27You conspired with Jasida?
43:28I conspired for and with the Karnat.
43:31You think what?
43:32The Karnat does not guide my heart.
43:34Your mind.
43:36But minds can be easily persuaded of anything.
43:39The reason you do not sleep is because of a longing in your heart that will never be said to
43:45you.
43:45Why should it?
43:47I know you believe Shan Yang will fall.
43:50It will.
43:50And you fear that once conquered, I turn my aims to lands far-reaching?
43:55I do.
43:56Why should I not?
43:57Because you know how this will end.
44:00As all other dynasties have.
44:04Am I not different?
44:07I once believed so.
44:09It is why I stand before you this evening.
44:12Yousef, you did not do this.
44:14My confession stands.
44:16Be it betrayal by my hands or by my heart.
44:22I am guilty.
44:24What do you want from me?
44:27To give up Shan Yang?
44:29You know the answer is yes.
44:32I cannot!
44:33I know that as well.
44:35I should hide behind my wall.
44:38Take pleasure in the present state.
44:41While away my days and bury myself here when they're done.
44:44Where is the fault in that?
44:47How many lands must be reaped?
44:50How many faults must be filled?
44:53Young spirits extinguished.
45:02One.
45:03One less game.
45:12Take other pieces away.
45:33The boy is guilty.
45:38His only guilt is his blind desire for your love.
45:52You know who he reminds me of.
45:56Yousef.
45:58My crazed cripple of Khazar here.
46:02Not in mindless bloodletting.
46:06But in dedication to your cause.
46:11He does.
46:14Do you need that dedication?
46:16At your service.
46:18At all times.
46:22I am no longer capable of it.
46:26Nor am I willing.
46:31You have the finest engineers in all the world.
46:36My final counsel to you is that you put them to work.
46:41Construct the Latin siege engine.
46:55As your kind, I do not accept your confession.
47:00I do not accept your confession.
47:11I do not accept your generosity.
47:13In doing so, I have weakened your position before Karakurum and throughout China.
47:19You will be challenged in the Kurultai.
47:22You will lose.
47:24And in that, a dream of this place may endure.
47:33You have no choice, Kublai.
47:59You have no choice.
48:03You have no choice, Kublai.
48:05You have no choice.
48:05Let's go.
48:35I thought I had until dawn.
48:49The final battle looms.
48:52Be decisive in your victory.
49:05You are released from this prison.
49:10But I am truly free.
49:19The final battle looms.
49:20The final battle looms.
49:48The final battle looms.
49:52The final battle looms.
49:55The final battle looms.
50:25Let's go.
50:36Let's go.
51:05Let's go.
51:36Let's go.
52:05Let's go.
52:42Let's go.
52:44Let's go.
53:13Let's go.
