00:00I don't know what to do, but I don't know what to do.
00:33The aim could not be more true.
00:37If the tree line is the wall, and we are too air of flight scarce,
00:43true aim does not matter, does it?
00:46We need to bring the engine closer.
00:48Bring it closer, or we'll become pain cushions.
00:53We need a longer arm.
00:55Longer arm is bigger frame.
00:57Bigger frame is giant wheel.
00:58Bigger rocks.
01:00You are making me to build a monster.
01:03We're the finest engine builder in Damascus now.
01:06Yes.
01:07Then build me a monster.
01:28Bigger rock.ным
03:46Before they do.
03:49Oh.
03:50By your will, sire.
03:53And by the house of Ogaday.
03:55I will lead your tumens.
03:57Praises, cousin.
03:59You will ride with our tumens and my sons.
04:02I'll name you a commander of a thousand men.
04:06But I lead this assault.
04:08You'll ride with the house of Kublai.
04:15I am grateful for the honor, Kagan.
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.
04:36Please, if 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.
05:05No 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 our engineers.
05:33Mind your treason, uncle.
05:35Know this!
05:44As you lead your sons back into the jaws of Siddow'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 Khans?
06:03I do not need your horses, Kaidu.
06:08I do not need your house of Ogaday.
06:18Leave here.
06:20You are forever banished.
06:34Peace.
06:36Peace.
06:55Come with me
06:56When I have avenged my father
06:58I will come and honor yours
07:01Look for me, Kutaran
07:02I will ride back with many captured horses
07:12Don't ride back with captured horses
07:15Just ride back
07:32Rise
07:39Great emperor
07:42Triumphant chancellor
07:43The men of Suzhou are saddened by the passing of the empress
07:47In honor of a memory
07:49I pledge 5,000 men to the Song army
07:53The governor of Suzhou
07:55Very important man
07:57Richer 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
08:1410,000 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
08:38Body smooth and peaceful
08:42Sun shines on the door
08:46Curtain not yet open
08:48Before 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
09:13Body smooth and peaceful
09:17The water flows, mind of its own
09:22The birds return to purge
09:35And when the test has been made
09:38If the chosen has
09:39Enough, Tudor
10:14Thus
10:15When the blood is of proper nature
10:18The bride is proclaimed
10:20A virgin
10:22The pending marriage
10:23Valid
10:25So be it
10:28Sorrow and happiness are the heresies of virtue, child
10:33As royalty
10:34You understand such formality
11:09Meditation
11:13I can sit for a count of ten
11:15Before 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
11:45For kindness shown to my child
11:52It is said that a nobleman once drowned himself
11:55After a night in your bedchamber
11:58Because 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
12:09I hope not
12:11You now long for anonymity
12:15I think most do
12:20The drums would disagree
12:24Every set of beats tells of the khan's mandate
12:28And what do they say this night?
12:33War
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
13:06To Sun Tzu's treatise on war
13:08I 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
13:19Why mobilize?
13:20To draw the Mongols out
13:22Kublai is sick with defeat
13:24When he hears we are mobilizing
13:25He will return
13:27Weakened in numbers
13:28And by pride
13:38Will they work?
13:40Every day we find the engines get...
13:42Will they work?
13:45By your will, sire
13:47And I will be ready to stand with them
13:49We march whether they are ready or not
13:53Vice Regent Yosef gave his life
13:55To give you this opportunity
13:56Remember that
13:59I will avenge my brothers
14:01Who fell at Xiangyang
14:03And should I fail
14:04Should you fail
14:05I will leave you as Karen on the battlefield
14:27I will be able to gather
14:28On the Mahona
14:28I have to do
14:28When did that
14:28He is doing
14:28He was doing
14:36His no
14:36That
14:38Peter
15:05I don't have much time
15:06before Judah finds me missing
15:08I need to know
15:10if you will follow me
15:12follow you?
15:16I am to be Prince Jingam's wife
15:20we must run
15:22now
15:29I cannot
15:31is living here with me
15:33not your wish?
15:47we run
15:48as you say
15:52we make it
15:53past the guards
15:55the gate
15:56the mountains
15:58in praise of a good fortune
16:00every day we awaken
16:03because there will not be a single night
16:06on which we are fully certain
16:07that a Mongol blade will not find us in our sleep
16:13there is nothing beyond those walls
16:15but doubt and fear
16:18all we can change is here
16:21in this place
16:22and how do you propose to do that?
16:25I must win this war for the gun
16:29and you think he will give me to you?
16:33just like that?
16:36it's the only way
17:03in this war
17:06and you think he will give me more
17:26Do you desire a sip?
17:29I 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
17:50by a small yellow bird.
17:54How?
17:56I caught it and ate it.
17:58That is a terrible story, Stifro.
18:01Would you find no wisdom?
18:04Your destiny is sealed by those machines.
18:08When you march south, if you take the wall, you will be lorded.
18:13Should you fail, there is no other soul to sacrifice in your place.
18:18There will be no such march, Stifro.
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.
18:38Luz, you will ride for Venice at first light.
18:41Do you not?
19:03Yes, Carlos came to my dear friend.
19:04I thought I was going to come to the wall now.
19:05And, for example, here is the house.
19:05Look on my mind.
19:07I love my thanksgiving to my girlfriend.
19:10I know how you three days later have been left.
19:17Let's go.
19:59Enough.
20:14Avoid me on the field.
20:27Do you now desire that sip?
20:34Let's go.
20:38Let's go.
20:51The Empress has warned me about you.
20:54I am certain she has.
20:58Do you think I would grant you an audience with the Blue Princess?
21:02No.
21:03I have learned that lesson will.
21:06Clearly not.
21:09I live tonight with the army.
21:12But I will return.
21:18I do not ask to see her.
21:20All I ask is that you deliver something to her from me.
21:28This is from the Silk Road.
21:31A 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,
21:56leaving nothing but weeds and nettles.
22:00If you speak any more poetry, priest, you'll be growing weeds and nettles out of your tongue hole.
22:05Mind your nature, husband.
22:08You're most benevolent and holy, Khan.
22:11The I Ching tells no lies.
22:14Return war to the south,
22:15and there may never be harmony
22:17between the heavenly
22:20and primal.
22:39You 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.
22:51How do we know he does not have grandchildren behind those walls down there?
22:55Hear me, Kublai.
22:57You have only half the men and horses you had on the last march.
23:00Kai Du has gone north.
23:01Ben is north.
23:02Your men are tired.
23:05Uncertain.
23:07Another defeat will destroy the empire.
23:10Proclaiming peace will not only preserve men,
23:13it will preserve face.
23:14I care not about preserving face.
23:16Preserving life, then.
23:18My husband's life.
23:20My son's life.
23:21My war is with south China.
23:23Not with my wife and empress.
23:26You know I heed your wisdom.
23:27But there's no more waiting.
23:29This war must break before me.
23:32Or I die trying.
23:34There's nothing else.
23:35No.
23:38No.
23:50No.
23:54seamless relations.
23:57No.
23:59No.
23:59No.
24:00No.
24:00No.
