00:49:49,204 --> 00:49:51,414
The kingdom must know
that I’m alive and well
533
00:49:51,497 --> 00:49:53,624
before we march into war.
534
00:49:53,708 --> 00:49:55,919
Get me to my throne.
535
00:49:57,628 --> 00:49:58,671
[ Grunting ]
536

[ Horses approaching ]
538
00:50:58,731 --> 00:51:00,901
Byamba: It has details
of your inner chamber
539
00:51:00,984 --> 00:51:03,153
few would know, Lord Khan.
540
00:51:03,236 --> 00:51:06,697
I spend my Khanate
embracing enemy cultures.
541
00:51:06,781 --> 00:51:11,202
Treachery grows well in
the fertile soil of contempt I’ve tilled.
542
00:51:11,286 --> 00:51:12,703
Who else knows of this map ?
543
00:51:12,787 --> 00:51:16,499
No one… but Byamba,
myself, and its creator.
544
00:51:16,582 --> 00:51:18,209
Circle must remain small.
545
00:51:18,293 --> 00:51:19,544
What of Jingim ?
546
00:51:20,503 --> 00:51:23,423
I do not wish to burden him as of yet.
547
00:51:23,506 --> 00:51:25,300
You say you recognize the scratch ?
548
00:51:26,217 --> 00:51:29,887
I wish to confirm this belief
before I tarnish his name any further.
549
00:51:32,390 --> 00:51:34,725
I trust you both to do so.
550
00:51:34,809 --> 00:51:38,146
Follow the map, where it leads,
under my aegis.
551
00:51:38,229 --> 00:51:40,231
Bring answers back to your Khan.
552
00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:53,036
Hold, Latin.
553
00:52:00,418 --> 00:52:04,880
You defended me courageously…
even in the face of death.
554
00:52:05,798 --> 00:52:07,550
I was one of many…
555
00:52:07,633 --> 00:52:10,345
and it pleases me greatly
to return and find you well.
556
00:52:10,428 --> 00:52:12,138
Mmm.
557
00:52:12,222 --> 00:52:14,349
Have you made your decision…
558
00:52:14,432 --> 00:52:16,684
regarding the fate
of your father and uncle ?
559
00:52:17,602 --> 00:52:20,271
No, Lord Kublai.
560
00:52:20,355 --> 00:52:22,940
I thought… I hoped…
561
00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:25,860
you might pardon them.
562
00:52:26,569 --> 00:52:28,363
Is pardon punishment ?
563
00:52:29,780 --> 00:52:33,743
I wished… you would spare them.
564
00:52:34,577 --> 00:52:36,412
Why would I do that ?
565
00:52:40,208 --> 00:52:41,501
