Oh, Venice.

You're so beautiful that
people's hearts shiver when they leave you.

Just like Marco Polo's
heart shivered...

The day he sailed
from there in 1200.

Motivated by his mission, Marco,

as a messenger
of the Republic of Venice,

defeated his sense of belonging
and followed the Celestial Empire's way.

Mask off! The truth is different.

Marco Polo was very happy
to be leaving.

In every historical era,

women were a big problem.

And in Marco's life
they had reached a critical point.

A very critical point.

In fact, his fiancée was awaiting
him in San Marco's square.

"Curse me, hate me, but believe me:
I left for your own good."

"Best regards to you
and your sweet, little sister."

"Marco."

I knew how useful
carrier pigeons were.

Oh God.

That's funny!

Marietta, listen here.

What gives?

"I'm thinking of you, I'm Kissing your lips.
Signed by M.P. "

M.P?.

He's referring to me?

Who had the audacity...?

Who is M.P.?

I know nothing,
I don't know anyone.

I stay locked in my house all day.
Poor me!

M.P...

"I'm Kissing your lips?!"

Well, at least I have my pigeon.

Well, sometimes they reached
the wrong recipient

and sometimes they wouldn't reach
a recipient at all.

And now?

He's not coming anymore.

It's over.

Not even a word.

Or a note.

Marco, my dear Marco.

Nevertheless,
his good faith was intact.

And so, made stronger
by his renunciation,

Marco's spirit could devote himself

to higher exploits
than mere love games.

I won't let you
walk out on me like this.

I'm going to cut your
heart out you monster.

I know you're really
laughing up your sleeve,

but I'll get even with you,

I've avenge all the women you've deceived.

But, but why Fatima?
It's such a big job.

Why do you distress me so? Aw, listen...

Stay where you are. Don't dare touch me.

Don't you dare to pretend you love me.

Your eyes are as cold
and dry as a snake's.

Cobra! Monster!

Monster.

How little you know me.

My heart is completely broken.

Look me in the eyes.

My darling, forgive me.

Alright, I forgive you,

even though you made me suffer,
even though you doubted me.

Well, a relapse is understandable,
especially because

of his upcoming arduous journey.

What are they doing to him?

They're torturing him,
he entered the harem.

They're torturing him?
They should award him.

Well... who could save him?

Only Ester, our princess, can do that.

She's been in charge here lately.

I need a young Chinese man, Ester.

Why?

I need a guide
for my journey to China.

I'm interested in the man
convicted of entering the harem.

Tell me how I can redeem him.

Dear foreigner,

It will not be difficult for you.

Just give me a Kiss.

Master.

Did I cost you much?

Don't remind me about it,
I've never paid so much in my life.

-What's that?
-The Great Wall of China, Master.

What is it for?

It was built during the Qin dinasty

to protect their lands
from the Mongols.

Couldn't they do something more useful
with those stones, given the outcome?

There's nothing more useful
than the land

surrounding your house, my master.

I'm not a bucolic person, Chao Lin.
I prefer trade.

Unless you built it to protect
the virtues of your women?

Even then, you'd need much more
to convince me to give up trade.

-What about them? Are they hunting?
-NO, they're fishing.

-With their falcons?
-They're cormorants.

They skim the river's surface,
they dive,

they bring the bigger fishes to the master,
who gives them smaller ones.

Hey there!

How far is it to Beijing?

It will take you one day and a night,
but it's better not to travel at night.

And is this the road to Beijing?

Yes.

You're a good guide, Chao Lin.
Thank you.

As is the case with everyone
whose stories are part of history,

many causes were surmised
for his long journey.

Soon you'll know his real motives...

Historians have denied it,
women not so much.

What's going on?

Ugly Chinese music, Master.

We better not to get involved.

Fear is the enemy of curiosity.

Look over there!

-What did I tell you?
-What a beautiful spectacle.

I would have almost missed this.

Who's going to win?

-Can we please go?. -No, let's bet.

Who's going to win?

The ones with hairy helmets.

-One million? -One million.

Alright, deal.

Look at those two.

Help!

Help!

Come, the grass is all damp,
YOU may ruin your dress.

Has anyone told you
you're very pretty?

Beware!

Don't be scared.

-I'll bring you back to your people.
-My people?

-What if they killed them all?
-I don't believe so.

unfortunately the bandits will have fled
and we won't be able to be together.

Stranger, your speak very boldly.

It's more dangerous to be
with you than to be with bandits.

Besides, I can walk on my own.

Alright, you do you.

Saddle up and don't worry.

There they are!

I told you he would have made it.

Why didn't you come to my aid?

We had to face the others.

Don't I deserve a reward?

Let's leave, it's a long road.

Just a moment.
There may be a problem.

Move on!

Wait. We can spend the night here.

If you're unsure
how to repay my kindness,

remember, night is a great advisor.

Move on!

So shameless!

A monastery!

The only quiet place for the night.

My father described the Grand Khan's
monastery as a oasis of peace.

And it is.

My name is Marco,
son of Niccolo Polo.

I'm asking you
for shelter for tonight.

You're welcome in our monastery.

You can leave the horses
in the stable behind the hill.

We'll give you food and a bed.

-Enter. -Thank you.

I met your honorable father
on his first trip.

I'm now glad to know you too.

My father and uncle stayed in Tibet.

I'm going to Beijing to bring
their greetings to the Grand Khan.

Don't worry, stranger.

Here you're among friends.

All brave men are my friends.

Thank you.

I would be your friend too
if you weren't a bandit leader.

My name is Cuday,
I'm the Grand Khan's nephew.

You're Cuday?
I heard about you.

As a bandit?

No, as a rebel
against his king and master.

Your tongue is
as ready as your sword.

Join us.

I'm sure I'd disappoint you.

In my heart I am a man of peace.

-I'd also like to be one. -Really?

What about your lambs?

I love and revere the Grand Khan.

However, I hate
anyone who abuses his old age

to oppress the people.

Look at those 'bandits'!

These lambs became wolves because
of the injustice they faced.

Get up!

Who's him?

We caught him in the rice fields.

He's a courier of the Grand Khan,
he likely has something to say.

Gather the men,
let's leave immediately.

Everyone on horseback, quick!

What should we do with him?

Cut his head or make him join us!
You choose!

You have an army of volunteers.

Don't you want to join us?

No!

Goodbye, Marco Polo.

Something tells me
we'll meet again.

Master,
the only safe place is Beijing.

We better leave at dawn.

If you want to go to Beijing,
you must send a message to Kublai Khan.

My horse is very fast, I would get
there before the message.

100 men run faster than one.

I don't understand.

The Grand Khan has established
a postal service across the Empire.

Messages are sent
by thousands of couriers.

Is the prisoner
with rattles one of them?

-Yes.
-A relay system of couriers.

Such a good idea.

Your servant will send a message
to the nearest post office.

Chao Lin, write to the Grand Khan
that we'll be at his service.

- We'll both serve the Grand Khan?
-Yes.

It's like sleeping with a tiger.

Go write!

This is chaos, a disaster.

Siblings against siblings,
this is a civil war.

They won't even let my daughter alone.

Indeed, hadn't it been
for that unknown warrior, I'd be dead.

Are you sure he was a warrior?

He handled his sword
better than a samurai.

He was tall, agile,

he had vivid blue eyes.

A true warrior.

We can thank Cuday's
betrayal for all of this.

Royal princesses being rescued
by noble strangers,

blue-eyed warriors.

Father...

my heart tells me
Cuday still loves you.

I love him too.

But my feelings disappear given
all the evil deeds he committed.

Your cousin rebelled
against my authority.

And now he dared raise his weapons.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

I will never be against you.

You're the best man in the world,

I will always be by your side.

The future of a beautiful girl like you

is not to spend your life
with an old man.

If I had to leave you in order to marry,
I would never get married.

In the end,
you don't have to leave me.

Even if Asia's most powerful rulers

demanded the honor
to have you as wife,

there's no guarantee
that in Beijing...

Sorry to bother, sir.

You never bother me, Mongka.

I was saying...

It must be an urgent matter

if the prime minister enters
without previous notice.

I received this message
from Niccolo Polo's son.

He's coming to Beijing
and wishes you would receive him.

You're my precious collaborator, Mongka.

You spare me from reading
messages directed to me.

My humble mission is to rid you of
as many unpleasant tasks as possible.

How should we deal with Marco Polo?

Our country seems to be
attracting foreigners

just as flowers attract bees.

At first, mysterious
blue-eyed knights

and now, merchants from the West.

Issue an order to track him down

and bring him to the palace.

No, Marco.

Master, stop laughing.

It's not funny,
it's a sacred ceremony.

-It isn’t funny? -No.

Come here.

Quality goods, free goods,
just look.

Did you see?

How much is this?

700 yens.

I can give you a hundred.

No, I can't accept such a price.
Give me 200.

We're both merchants... 150.

Give me the change.

Alright.

-Look. -What is that?

-Your change? -Yes, I want my change.

What even is this?

That's the new currency
introduced by the Grand Khan.

Wait, I gave you gold
and you gave paper.

If I gave this to the government,
would they give me gold?

Theoretically, yes.
In actuality, no.

Give me back the gold!

Come on, give it back!

Quick.

-What's this smell?
-It's a good smell.

Spicy Chinese eggs
preserved underground.

-They must be 30 years old at least.
-30 years old?

I don't think I'm hungry anymore.

Let's go to my auntie's inn,
'Blubber', she's the best cook.

-Where is it? -There.

Alright.

Welcome, stranger.
I'm very honored.

-Have a seat. -There she is.

It's my aunt's inn.

She'll be honored
to have you as a guest.

I hope so.

Chao Lin!

-Aunty! -Chao Lin!

Give me a hug.

It's hard to hug her all the way.

He's Marco Polo.

He came from Venice.

-Where's Venice?
-It's very far from here.

If you came from far away,
you will surely be tired.

Not as tired as I'm hungry.

Great, allow me, then,
to satisfy your hunger.

I'll serve you right away.

Thank you.

There's plenty of choice:

swallow nests, shark fins
or fried grasshoppers.

-Grasshoppers? -Yes.

No, I prefer vegetable soup.

No, these are better.

Are those worms?

No, they are made with wheat flour.

They're noodles.

-They're very good.
-They're very healthy too.

These are dry noodles
ready for cooking?

Yes, they're the same.

I'll take a few to Italy.

They do look different
than the ones I know.

Let's wish our guest good health.

Don't move, stay still.

What gives?

What are you looking for in my inn?

Oh, I get it.

-Huo, bring the wine.
-We don't want wine!

You owe the Grand Khan
the new salt tax.

Another tax?

What more does the Grand Khan want,
our blood too?

What else do you want from us?
What will we have left then?

I gave you my every yen.

-What more do you want?
-Pay up!

-Or we'll take your bed too.
-You leeches!

-May you be cursed!
-Seize everything!

Get out!

You too, stop eating!

-I don't recall inviting you.
-Put it away!.

Leave me alone!

-Put away your plate!
-Hands off me!

Hurry up! Move!

You go there!

Where are the rebels?

Speak!

-Where are they hiding?
-I'll never tell you!

Who is supporting
the Manchurians in revolt?

Speak, you thug!

One day you'll regret this,

it's easy to torture
defenseless people.

And flee in the presence
of someone stronger than you!

Leave him!

Leave him!

"Leave him!" I said.

Here you will learn obedience.

Come on, attack!

Attack!

I'm indebted to you.

Throw him together
with the other pigs!

Help, the soldiers are back!

Marco Polo's name is
on your inn's facade.

Where is he?

May I ask,
what do you want from him?

Answer! Where's Marco Polo?

He was arrested just before
you came here, gentlemen.

- Arrested?
-Yes.

Honorable guards brought
him to prison.

Look in the prison!

I appreciate what you did.

I didn't do anything.
You're the brave one.

Marco Polo!

Stop!

Got anything to complain about?

Not anymore.

The Grand Khan awaits
you in the palace.

Marco Polo, son of Niccolo
from Venice, is here.

Let him in.

Father, that's the man
who saved me.

Greetings, Grand Khan.

You too, Princess.

Lovely like an evening breeze
in the desert.

My father Niccolo and my uncle
Matteo send greetings to you.

They both sent me forward
to your lavish court.

Welcome, Marco.

We are glad to welcome the son
of such loyal friends.

Let us honor Marco Polo.

For saving my daughter
from a bandit attack.

As Prime Minister,

my task is to carry out
my lord's will by asking you

what reward do you want?

My little merits have already
been rewarded extensively...

by your smile, Princess.

You've come such a long way

just to export western gallantry?

Each country exports
what it has the most.

But... aren't you at risk
of not making any profit?

Your Princess' smile...

outweighs any risk.

My father and uncle bring you
a gift from the Pope.

What gift?

I don't know, it's a precious coffer
that only you can open.

I feel very honored
to receive this gift

from the head
of the Christian church.

Send the couriers with an order
to escort our friends.

Our roads are getting
less and less safe.

Tell me, Marco.

What was most unexpected
for you on your trip to China?

A punch to the head
from your guard.

He will pay for this offense,
I give you my word.

Don't worry, sir,
he's already paid.

-Please forgive us for this mistake.
-There's no reason to feel sorry.

I learned a lot: I saw ordinary people
and I understood many things.

They're only poor,
inept and slaves.

People were not born with chains.

Marco Polo.

Tell us about your country.

Your father told me
something very curious.

Is it still forbidden for you to have
more than one wife in your country?

Yes, we can only have one wife.

Sometimes one is already too much.

Why? Do you already have a wife?

No, but a wife needs a home
and I'm just a tramp.

If you want, you can choose one.

AS you can see,
they are all nice, friendly

and from noble families.

They are all beautiful.

Choosing one would mean
offending the others.

You are young but wise.

Accept our hospitality.

I have been instructed to
satisfy all of your desires.

Let me escort you to your rooms.

Even a wise man can confuse a door.

Even a blind man can look
with clear eyes.

Close the door,
the sun blinds me.

Such disruption deserves your contempt.

Chang, father of lanterns,

can you tell me which rooms are
for the young foreigner?

Never release the falcon,
unless you want to hunt a hare.

This is his lantern,
as you can see it's green.

-It's that of the dragon's rooms.
-But it will be like a prison for him.

It's at the behest of Mongka

and lights burn
where Mongka desires.

I say too much,
my tongue is like a tiger.

If I don't restrain it,
it'll devour me.

I want your opinion
on what I call...

the room of pain
and confessions.

-Have you seen anything like this?
-No.

It's my invention to fight
the excess of secrecy.

The executioner just opens this

so that the blades...

are slowly lowered
towards the tied convict,

then they graze him, cut,
crush and reduce him to a pulp.

Well, it's a nice toy,

but it's a little simple.

In my opinion,
it could be improved.

Let me see.

Yes, I got it.

I need a bamboo stick.

Could you lay down?

It will be a small experiment.

You're not scared, right?

Thank you.

You need to place
the stick on a convict,

SO when breathing,
the stick will move up and down.

Just a moment.

Nice and sharp.

Fixed to the stick, the mallet moves
the blades with the help of a gearwheel.

With each up and down movement,

the gearwheel moves by a tooth.

And with each breath,
the blades come down,

down...

down...

and the convict's
torments end with death.

Brilliant.

-And a little more humane.
-Thank you.

I'll find a way
to return your favor.

Have mercy on me.

Have mercy on me, stranger.
Save me one more time.

In the name of your god, stranger.

Help me.

Help me.

How come does this worm know you?

Did you forget about my stay
in your prison?

I'll return your favor now.

Alright.

You yourself open
his door to freedom.

-Now he's definitely free.
-That's very explicit.

There is no need to hit
a great drum too hard.

But you hit
the skin of others instead.

I'm changing the can die
of your lantern, stranger.

Remember, this palace is a maze
where it's easy to get lost.

Every time you see a green lantern,

you can go ahead.

It's a sign the road is safe.

Who do you serve, Tchang?

You can ask the golden kite.

Princess, look at the balcony.

Chao Lin, my doublet.

Please, stay here. Entering
the neighbor's garden is forbidden.

Why are you always so scared?

If Mongka sees you talking
with the princess,

he'll oil the machine
you perfected yourself.

No machine can hold back
an Italian lover!

No, I don't need it.

Bad, very bad.

What gives?

Don't cry.

I promise you'll have
your kite back.

Please, I'd like to be alone.

You're always so unlucky, Marco.

You are always where
someone needs you.

Not always.

I've only been lucky
ever since I saw you.

When a man in Venice can't express
his love to a lady with words

he offers her a little rosebud.

-Rosepud? -Yes, a rosebud.

An unopened flower,
just like you.

You're like spring,
everything blossoms when around you.

Such sweet words!

-But I can't listen to them.
-Why?

Are you worried your kite will write
them in the sky for everyone to read?

Yes.

Everyone confides
their secret to the kite:

The name of person
they wish to marry.

I still don't know
who I want to marry,

perhaps a prince
from a faraway land.

I don't know.

Mongka?

I don't want
to think of Mongka now.

I'm so glad you're here.

Can I confide
a secret to your kite?

Sky-piercing mountains,

endless deserts
that made me feel

like I was
the first one to cross them...

fairytale cities
arising from nothing.

My eyes have seen such wonders,

that sometimes I ask myself
"Am I travelling or is it just a dream?"

And has nostalgia of your hometown

and your people ever overcome you?

Yes, I remember when I first saw
your fisherman on the river row

with one oar while standing
like our gondoliers.

- I got all teary-eyed.
-Such a sentimental young man.

Aside this

do you think our people is
very different from yours?

You are more reserved and wiser,

we're the exact opposite,
we're rarely silent,

we speak about every matter,
be it good or bad.

You like to express happiness
and sadness with silence.

The flowing flooded and silent river

can be much scarier
than the raging sea.

Therefore, the ruler must hold
the rudder firmly in his hands.

-By using torture and oppression?
-Yes, if necessary.

It's easy to abuse power.

Do you think so?

In addition to cholera and famine,

Cuday is now inciting
revolts in Manchuria.

We will destroy
the enemy of China.

I'm sorry, lord,
but on my way across China,

I realized its true enemy is hunger.

You haven't seen the greatest evil yet,
you still don't know Cuday.

You're wrong, I have met Cuday
and I found him very loyal and wise.

He spoke of you
with the greatest love.

He fights slavery,
not the Grand Khan.

Father, Marco Polo's speech is
an echo of my words.

This war is only bringing us death

and the demons of hunger will spread
their wings even more over China.

Why don't you reconcile with Cuday?

I'm thinking about it.

-Listen, Mongka.
-I guessed your wise suggestion.

We'll send our Venetian guest
to talk with Cuday.

His politeness
and eloquence will be good tools

for our mission's success.

Wait.

I'm honored by your trust,

but it would be better if talked
about it tomorrow.

You see, I have to consult
my pillow first.

Good night.

Take this sir,
it will make you warmer.

No, I wouldn't breath with it.

Venice has humid climate,
that is a caparison.

It may be hot in Venice, but
people die of cold in Manchuria.

In Manchuria?

-You think I'm going in Manchuria?
-You said that...

I said I had to consult
with my pillow first,

if this can be called such.

Besides, she looks at me so...

Who is she?

The princess.

I can read people's eyes very well:

by now she should feel
indebted to me.

Women just need a pretext.

But the Princess is very different.

I bet before this wick burns out,

the princess will be calling me.
one million?

Since we're there,
why not three millions?

So you want to repay your debt?

Trust me, she's different.

What are you waiting for?
Open the door.

Marco Polo,
the princess asks you to visit her.

How many times have I told
you not to bet, son?

You asked me to come here,
your request is an order to me.

I wanted to tell you
how grateful I am to you.

Come closer, stranger.

Sure.

My God, in Venice we usually talk
a little bit beforehand.

You talk a bit? But why?

Well, I don't know
the local customs.

It's our custom to protect
those who defend us.

-I want to give you this amulet.
-An amulet?

-You don't want it?
-Of course I want it.

I don't want anything less.

Come closer, Marco Polo.

With this on,
the gods will protect you.

At the end of your journey,
hand it over to Cuday.

Thank you.

It's beautiful

and heavy too.

Gold from Canton and jade
from Katai, if I'm not mistaken.

I trust you, Marco.

Have faith and pass it on to Cuday.

It will protect you.

-Alright, I can go then.
-Marco.

Look, Princess. I want something
from you, just for me.

Something of mine?

Ask and I will try to satisfy you.

Well, I don't want
to ask too much...

-A Kiss? -And what is it?

A Kiss...

is a sign of devotion.

This...

is a memory

to be held firmly in your hand.

This...

is a never ending dream.

And this...

is a pledge of love.

I'm sorry, I didn't know
you had an audience here,

or that I was a giving
a kissing course to a whole society.

I guess I just need to go now.

Marco.

Are you leaving
without saying goodbye?

Goodbye, princess.

Have a safe journey!

-Master? -Yes.

Don't talk to me,
shut up and pay off your debt.

Chao Lin!

Chao Lin! Are you hurt?

Where?

I don't know.

There's no blood left in my veins.

Where did he go?

Don't worry, you're just scared.

You saved my life!

I'm canceling your debt of 6 million.

How come the arrow didn't cross you?

I'm always protected on my travels:
here's my chain mail.

Please, Master, let's go.

-Bring me to your country.
-It seems to me...

Please, there's
nothing heroic about this.

-You go back to Beijing.
-Are you sure? -Yes.

Mongka will destroy me.

No, he'll be glad
to know I'm dead.

Tell him I fell
into Cuday's trap.

What about me?
What should I tell him?

Tell him you fainted from fear
and that they spared you.

-Do you think he'll believe me?
-Of course he will!

You're an hero,
but only I know it.

They were sent by the gods
themselves to gnaw the bones.

Who will know it's not me?

Poor Marco Polo.

Listen, only the princess can know
that I am still alive.

-Is that clear?
-Why, are you in love?

Why you ask?

-And you mustn't leave Beijing.
-Master, let's make a bet.

I never bet on serious matters.
Now go!

Your singing is raining with joy,

but, unfortunately, my dear,

I received some sad news

that upset us all.

Very saddening news, princess.

-Should I share your grief?
-I'd rather have spared you that,

but you too found deep love
in out Venetian friend.

Is he dead?

He fell heroically following
an assault by a group of rebels.

We only found this

on a corpse disfigured by vultures.

I gave it to him myself.

I can't believe it!
My poor friend!

My poor foreign friend!

My poor friend!

Your words won't resuscitate him.

Tai Au, take care of her.

There's a celebration
in her honor tonight.

She must look serene and happy
in front of our guests.

-Did I cry convincingly?
-Yes.

I was dying to tell my father
that Marco was still alive

and that no rebel had attempted
to kill him,

but the hypocrite Mongka.

Are you sure Chao Lin
was telling the truth?

-He always tells me the truth.
-How do you know?

Ah, so you and Chao Lin...?

To get the calf to drink,
one must wet his feet first.

Each night we await under the peach.

The person who never comes.

Your servant is as weary as a llama

who has traversed
thousands of hills.

My mind can't run away from her.

While my body wants to move on,

my rebellious spirit turns my back

like a flag waving against the wind.

Tell me, Master,
is the princess real?

Or is she just a product
of your dreams?

I swear I would fight
black demons and fiery dragons

just to abduct her.

I feel like tonight's moon

will witness our happiness together.

Like when we confided the kite

our secret love.

Or else the black demons

and the fiery dragons will burn us all.

They're coming!

We will fly like two doves
with only one wing.

We will be like two cherry-trees
grown from one trunk.

Whether we'll die in the sky
or on the ground,

our love will live forever.

Lord, I'm here.

Now that your dream has come true,

your humble servant is
no longer important.

Whose fault is it?

It's the moon's,
as a usual procurer,

she witnessed your effusions

when you sneaked up
on your loved one.

Just follow my green lanterns

and you'll avoid bad encounters.

My beloved

Marco.

Come.

What's wrong?
-One Kiss.

One more.

Darling, we're on the run...

it's not the most appropriate time.

Master.

Master.

Forgive my humble advice.

Could you postpone it to tomorrow?

-The ship is full of guards.
-Yes, but you're a pain.

Yes, Master.

You no longer laugh when I kiss you.

But... what happens after a Kiss?

What happens next?

After a kiss?

I'll explain later, come.

Nobody will find you here.

When Mongka's henchmen end the search,

you'll leave.

But remember
that the princess is sacred.

How can you cut off a rose
if you are a slave to its scent?

Have you become a poet?

I'm trying to be Chinese
and like her.

What is this?

The pilgrim monk is playing
with magic dust.

What is this,
where did you find it?

I got it from a certain Tai Fu,
a strange man.

He is an astrologer, alchemist
and lives in the mountains.

You must check the whole city,
without exception,

including the countryside.
Torture anyone

who may know something.
Before dawn

I'll know who abducted
the princess. Go!

I don't want my daughter back
through violence or torture.

Such leniency is very suspicious.

The abduction was too flawless

and the hiding place is too safe
for my men to find it.

That was your idea to prevent
me from marrying her!

How dare you?
You're crazy, Mongka.

Arrest him!

Arrest him!

They no longer obey you.

Take him away!
You're my prisoner!

I'm taking over the government.
I will marry your daughter

and thus become
your rightful successor.

Call your master.

I'm sure Tai Fu will tell
me his secret.

Master, the princess!

Marco.

What's wrong?

Why those tears?

Why did you call me?

Please, don't pretend,
I know you want to leave.

You talked about it with the monks.

Right when we could stay together!

Why did you force me
to run away with you so soon?

I have to leave, Amurray,
but I'll be back soon.

I'm going to visit a man
who stole the light from the stars.

Don't leave me now.

If you really have to go,
please take me with you.

It's too risky.

I will sell people
stardust, Amurray.

We will be very rich,
stars are priceless.

| was born in wealth,
but it only brought me boredom.

-I'm happy with you and your love.
-Listen.

I made you leave your palace here,
but I'll give you one in Venice.

I met you as a princess
and such you will remain.

I'll be back soon, trust me.

Remember, no survivors
or witnesses. Go!

It's Mongka, let's hide!

How dare you,
don't you see who I am?

Darling.

Darling.

Kiss me.

Put your lips on mine.

Farewell.

No offense, stranger.

But Confucius said
100 eyes won't suffice to protect you

from a single nosy man...

How did you hear about me?

I went a long way
to see you, Tai Fu.

I come here as a friend.

Who sent you?

The pilgrim monk from the monastery
of the Great Buddha.

He's a respectable friend,

but very naive and talkative.

I saw your magic dust.

What do you need it for?

I'm a travelling merchant

and I hope to start
a thriving business.

It occurred to me
to make colored dust

like the colored glass from Venice.

-Colored dust?
-Yes, some colored fire

shaped like stars, fountains,
waterfalls with peacock colors.

People will come from all corners
of China to see your fire.

Wait a minute,
you made my head spin.

If we connect our minds,
you will become famous.

What about you?

I will only be rich.

A rich man is a dragon
and a poor man a worm.

Which would you like to be?

Don't ask me silly questions.
I would like to be a dragon.

We must find our master.
Where do we go?

Master!

Alright.

DO you even use your nose?

Now we have to wait until dark.

I can't wait, let's try it now!

- It could be dangerous.
-Now!

Alright.

We're friends, Marco Polo.

But I will never tell you
what I made the dust from.

It can cause death.

Let its power serve

only to illuminate
the sky with new stars.

Do you know what I like about this?
The charm of the unpredictable.

Will we see beautiful stars
or will we fail?

What are you doing, an exorcism?

No, it's just a precaution.

Italian wisdom, now step back.

-Why?
-I'm igniting a fuse.

Master!

Go!

Master!

- I would call this a success.
-Are you expecting a visit?

Master!

Master!

Only this weapon can multiply
your strength, Cuday.

From the mouth of this device,
not only light will gush forth,

but also a fiery monster
that hurls projectiles.

You will free your people
from Mongka's will forever.

And who will give us
the dust to destroy his army?

Tai Fu, if I can convince him.

I don't like hearing about death.

I prefer hearing
about freedom and peace.

I'll give you my dust, Cuday,
but only the amount needed

to restore justice to this Country.

We'll have to cut down trees
to construct these devices.

Wood is useless,
they must be made of metal.

-You need to find it somewhere.
-Where?

Each house has a bronze bell.

Ask them to give them to you.

By melting them
we'll make this new weapon.

That's enough.

Are we ready?

Yes.

Forward!

I will never marry you, at any cost!

Your words will destroy
your father's heart.

You will not sign
our wedding's decree.

The Grand Khan is too wise
not to ratify our wedding.

The line between hatred
and love is very thin.

Time, fear and habit work miracles.

I don't hate you, Mongka.

I despise you.

Beijing is across the hill.

-We'll we make it?
-I think so.

-Master. -Thanks
-DO you want some water?

Many armed riders are coming

and bring in some artifacts
with hollow holes.

-They'll try to demolish the walls.
-Reinforce the gates.

Move the best archers
to the most vulnerable bastions.

May the Mongol cavalry
be ready to attack.

We'll give Cuday and his rabble
a warm welcome.

-What about the Grand Khan?
-Follow my orders!

Now I rule in Beijing!

Go!

Be careful.

Slowly, it's dangerous,
do you understand?

Go slow.

I'm entering the town.

The green rocket will signal the attack.

Why are you taking
such a risk, Marco?

You'll easily enter Beijing,
but will you able to leave?

I have an appointment,
a lady is waiting for me.

-Be careful, Marco.
-Don't worry.

One of us will manage
to launch the rocket.

Go.

See?

Every time your daughter inhales,
the blades drop lower.

To tell you the truth,
the Venetian came up with it.

Sign it!

One gesture and I'll stop it.

No, don't do it!

He tried to sneak
into the palace.

It's a big day for me, Marco Polo.

Should I consider your head
as a wedding gift for me?

Now!

Master!

-Chao Lin!
-You're a great man!

The people of China will love
you for eternity for your efforts.

People? China?

But I did it for her.

What a peace!

-We're finally alone!
-Yes.

Thank God!

My father asks when
our wedding will take place.

You decide, Marco.

-0, on what day? -Well...

When it pleases you.

So in three days?

Or four?

Or maybe...

in six days?

Beautiful pearls!
I've never seen such perfect ones.

These are tiny,

and we use them
as a wedding calendar.

SO you use the tiny ones
as a wedding calendar?

What a great country!

Every morning before the wedding,
the bride goes to the well

and throws a pearl into it.

She throws a pearl in there?

That's crazy!

No, have

you heard about the legend
of tears turned into pearls?

-Yes
- It symbolizes the pain of waiting.

That's very nice,
but why are throwing it away?

-Does anyone fish them out afterwards?
-There's many of them.

The girls go looking
for them on the coast of Tiensin.

They are found in oysters.

Oh, within the oysters of Tiensin.

How far is Tiensin?

-Marco -Yes.

Do you know yourself?

Yes, I believe so.

You're like the shadow of a cloud
that brushes everything and flees.

It's true.

But I love you, Amurray.

Marco, I love you too,

more than anything else in the world!

But I love you for who you are.

You can't be bound.
You would be too unhappy.

If that's what you think,

I will never go to Tiensin.

Of course.

Of course, my love.

Kiss me!

Do you know the road to Tiensin?

Yes, Master, just go that way.
