1
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:59,368
At the start of the Eighth Century. . .
2
00:02:00,328 --> 00:02:02,830
. . .the Tang Empire stretched
from the Sea of Japan to Uzbekistan.
3
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:06,875
The Western Regions
were holy land. . .
4
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:11,713
. . .thirty six Buddhist kingdoms. . .
5
00:02:12,882 --> 00:02:19,221
. . . linked by the Silk Road.
6
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:24,393
Nomadic Turks battled the Tang
for control of this route. . .
7
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:29,356
. . .along which passed riches. . .
8
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,527
. . . both spiritual and material.
9
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:37,573
In the struggle for the Silk Road. . .
10
00:02:38,575 --> 00:02:41,577
. . . many heroes were made.
This is the story of two of them.
11
00:03:08,104 --> 00:03:12,774
Sir Lai Xi was my father's friend.
12
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:19,114
He was an imperial agent
on a secret mission.
13
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:25,287
Whilst studying at the court,
you've won our favor.
14
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:28,415
We entrust to you. . .
15
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:34,087
. . .the mission of eliminating. . .
16
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:38,800
. . .fugitives in the western regions.
17
00:03:38,968 --> 00:03:42,054
This will also be a final test
of your skill.
18
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:46,850
Fulfill this mission and we
may allow you to return home.
19
00:03:49,437 --> 00:03:52,648
The emperor bestowed on him
the imperial sword...
20
00:03:52,815 --> 00:03:55,108
. . .and with it the power
over life and death.
21
00:03:55,276 --> 00:03:57,486
Sir Lai Xi has arrived !
22
00:03:57,654 --> 00:04:02,491
He wasn't a man of the Tang.
He'd come here from Japan.
23
00:04:02,992 --> 00:04:06,078
Whenever he appeared
at Frontier Pass. . .
24
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:09,331
...it was only to rush off
somewhere else.
25
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:13,835
Father said Sir Lai Xi
wished to go home.
26
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:16,255
But the emperor
never granted him permission.
27
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:19,675
lnstead, he sent him here...
28
00:04:19,842 --> 00:04:22,803
...to bring fugitives to justice.
29
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:28,350
He's been on this mission here
in the wilderness for 1 0 years now.
30
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:37,192
Dear Mother:
Today l reached Frontier Pass.
31
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,737
lt's my new base
for carrying out my mission.
32
00:04:40,905 --> 00:04:43,115
General Wen, who's in charge here...
33
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:47,160
...says the emperor
will send me home soon.
34
00:04:47,328 --> 00:04:50,747
l've been in this country
for 25 years...
35
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:54,293
...but my heart is in my homeland.
36
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:58,338
And my return
is finally within reach.
37
00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:02,301
Wen Zhu, the fighting here
is growing more intense.
38
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:06,305
I've asked Sir Lai Xi
to escort you to the capital.
39
00:05:15,648 --> 00:05:18,692
You're finally going home.
40
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,946
Yes, at last.
41
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:25,574
The messenger is here!
42
00:05:27,535 --> 00:05:31,288
Sir Lai Xi ! Receive new orders!
43
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,965
When l was younger,
l had seen this fugitive.
44
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:45,469
They called him "The Butcher" Li.
45
00:05:45,636 --> 00:05:50,724
He was a distinguished officer
in my father's service.
46
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:57,189
But he refused to kill some Turkish
captives and a mutiny resulted.
47
00:05:58,316 --> 00:06:02,402
Lieutenant Li says to let them go.
48
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:05,155
But that's against orders!
49
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:08,450
The general wants them all dead !
What are you waiting for?
50
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:11,453
They're women and children !
51
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:16,708
We're soldiers.
We don't kill unarmed civilians.
52
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:18,752
-Free them !
-You're disobeying orders.
53
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,798
-Kill him !
-Spare the captives!
54
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:25,050
Let's go!
55
00:06:42,318 --> 00:06:44,528
When the emperor found out,
he was furious.
56
00:06:44,695 --> 00:06:47,739
He's been trying
to apprehend Li ever since.
57
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:53,620
At first Li and the other mutineers
made a living guarding camel trains.
58
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,998
But they haven't been seen
for years.
59
00:06:57,166 --> 00:06:59,126
I'll leave you here.
60
00:06:59,335 --> 00:07:02,963
Don't follow me.
Go to Western Lake.
61
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:06,800
Marry and live in peace.
62
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:27,154
The minister of justice...
63
00:07:27,321 --> 00:07:33,535
. . .informed me of this most
wanted fugitive's reappearance.
64
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:37,998
l can't abandon my mission now.
65
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:42,711
l owe the emperor too much.
66
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:50,010
And so, as yet,
l am unable to return.
67
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:54,222
Please, dear Mother, forgive me.
68
00:07:56,058 --> 00:08:00,520
When I've left. . .
69
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:03,523
. . . please give this
to my replacement.
70
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:44,481
Lieutenant Li's reappearance
changed Sir Lai Xi's plans...
71
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:50,570
...and l'd be along for the chase
on the way to the capital.
72
00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:21,810
Vengeance Kui !
73
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:51,006
Well done!
74
00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:22,454
The Iron-Gate Pass Army delivers this
caravan to the troops of Frontier Pass.
75
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:26,708
We've lost five camels and one horse,
but all the other cargo is intact.
76
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:30,378
The Frontier Pass troops
accept the mission.
77
00:10:30,546 --> 00:10:33,381
Prepare to leave for 1 8-Mile Fortress!
78
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:38,178
The handover is complete! Go!
79
00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:46,394
Raise the camels!
80
00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:17,258
The storm's coming !
81
00:11:45,579 --> 00:11:47,372
Is anyone there?
82
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:52,585
Is anyone else alive?
83
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,465
Yes. . . .
84
00:12:29,165 --> 00:12:31,624
He's still alive!
85
00:12:55,858 --> 00:12:57,650
Here we go.
86
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:45,031
Baldy, it's me.
87
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:57,210
Get lost!
88
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,755
Stinking beggar, go the hell
back to Western Lake.
89
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,050
Get lost!
90
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:25,613
-Where did you come from?
-Over the ridge.
91
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:35,915
Do you know who's boss here?
92
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,794
Master An.
93
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:43,381
Say it for me.
94
00:14:44,758 --> 00:14:47,969
-Master An is boss here.
-Get lost!
95
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,546
1 8-Mile Fortress is east of here.
96
00:15:23,797 --> 00:15:26,174
So why are we heading north?
97
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:31,971
The road east is full of Turks
and bandits. There's no way through.
98
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:34,849
Yeah.
99
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:39,520
And all we've got is this little monk
who just prays all day long.
100
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,816
Pray for some better luck for me,
will you?
101
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:55,411
We'll go north first. . .
102
00:15:55,579 --> 00:16:00,124
. . .where there's water and pasture.
We can rest there.
103
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:06,881
-And hire some swordsmen.
-Hire? But. . .
104
00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:09,133
. . . how much will that cost?
105
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,261
How much is your life worth?
106
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:21,145
You want the one
they call Butcher Li.
107
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:27,777
One of his old deputies, One-Eye Cao,
lives at Western Lake.
108
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:31,614
He came to town last year
to sell an ox.
109
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:36,619
I have to go.
110
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:39,080
I leave Wen Zhu in your charge.
111
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:43,334
There are too many bandits around.
112
00:16:44,878 --> 00:16:47,422
I'll look after her.
113
00:17:09,903 --> 00:17:14,240
Don't go outside. It's not safe.
114
00:17:15,242 --> 00:17:17,618
They'll bring in your meals.
115
00:17:17,786 --> 00:17:19,954
I'll only be away a few days.
116
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:21,956
Wait here for me.
117
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,258
Will you be able to find him?
118
00:17:41,810 --> 00:17:44,353
The court wants him dealt with.
119
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:49,817
I must do my duty by the people
and the emperor.
120
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:20,389
Hunting down and killing fugitives,
is there much money in that?
121
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:28,189
I get by.
122
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:33,694
You're an imperial agent.
123
00:18:44,581 --> 00:18:45,873
Why do you say that?
124
00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:01,490
He's a force to be reckoned with.
125
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,979
-This one!
-That one!
126
00:20:32,856 --> 00:20:34,815
The white one!
127
00:21:02,636 --> 00:21:07,807
Why aren't you roping in the horses?
I told you to keep an eye on them !
128
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:11,352
What are you doing?
129
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:16,357
-Is that a caravan?
-Yes.
130
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:18,484
How many people?
131
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:22,321
-Three.
-What sort of people?
132
00:21:22,489 --> 00:21:24,824
A Turk, a monk. . .
133
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:27,076
. . .and a soldier.
134
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:34,125
I'll get the others.
135
00:21:39,089 --> 00:21:41,716
Take a good look at the Turk.
136
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:47,179
-Yeah, so, he's a Turk.
-Take another look.
137
00:21:47,931 --> 00:21:50,516
-He's still a Turk.
-Look again.
138
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:03,404
You can't even see
with two good eyes!
139
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:22,631
Sir!
140
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:42,068
Still the same old One-Eye Eagle.
141
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:56,707
Something to eat?
142
00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:00,503
Thank you.
143
00:23:01,129 --> 00:23:03,464
Bless you.
144
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,057
Sister. . .
145
00:23:13,225 --> 00:23:18,354
. . . how much do your menfolk make
guarding caravans?
146
00:23:18,522 --> 00:23:21,232
They haven't done that for years.
147
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,736
Sir, how is it
you've got a soldier with you?
148
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,033
What are you carrying?
149
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:33,244
I don't know.
And it's not for me to ask.
150
00:23:34,204 --> 00:23:36,122
Exactly.
151
00:23:41,002 --> 00:23:44,213
He saved me. I have to help him.
152
00:23:45,757 --> 00:23:48,717
Sir, we're blood brothers.
153
00:23:48,885 --> 00:23:51,637
If there's anything we can do,
just say.
154
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:58,310
There's nothing. I just dropped in
to say hello. I can't stay.
155
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:01,856
I'll be off at sunrise.
I'll hire more guards at the outpost.
156
00:24:02,607 --> 00:24:05,568
-It's in ruins and nearly deserted.
-It's true.
157
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:08,446
It's in shambles.
158
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:11,991
If I'd known,
I'd have ditched him back there.
159
00:24:13,368 --> 00:24:14,618
-Getting soft.
-Yeah.
160
00:24:14,786 --> 00:24:16,328
You could still do it.
161
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:18,747
Sir, why don't. . . .
162
00:24:19,583 --> 00:24:21,417
Soldier!
163
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:25,212
Carrying anything of value?
164
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:28,215
No, just a heap of Buddhist texts.
165
00:24:28,383 --> 00:24:33,262
Why not trade them in for a wife?
Move in here with us.
166
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:41,520
-You sure know how to pick a place.
-Good, isn't it?
167
00:24:43,231 --> 00:24:46,984
-I should settle down here too.
-Great!
168
00:24:47,402 --> 00:24:50,154
Not so fast.
Let me see him off safely first.
169
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:56,035
Take me with you, sir.
170
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:53,300
Wake up.
171
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:57,221
Need some work?
172
00:25:57,806 --> 00:26:00,349
-Yes.
-It's dangerous work.
173
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:02,893
What else is there?
174
00:26:03,061 --> 00:26:04,728
I've got by this far.
175
00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:07,565
I know the rules of the road.
176
00:26:08,191 --> 00:26:12,861
-Name?
-They call me Old Diehard.
177
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:27,376
-Saddle up your horse. Let's go.
-What horse?
178
00:26:27,794 --> 00:26:33,215
-No horse and you expect to work?
-I sold it because I had no work.
179
00:26:38,346 --> 00:26:41,098
They call me Salamander.
My real name is Di Hu.
180
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:42,975
All my life, I've known danger.
181
00:26:43,184 --> 00:26:45,311
I know the rules of the road.
182
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:49,982
-And your folks?
-Don't have any.
183
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,693
And my teacher's dead.
My friends are all soldiers.
184
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:55,321
Go find a place to learn a trade.
185
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:02,703
Try me out first, uncle.
186
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:09,793
-Don't follow us.
-Uncle, please, try me out.
187
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:28,437
-Butcher Li.
-And you must be the imperial agent.
188
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:30,689
Do you plead guilty
to disobeying orders?
189
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:35,110
-A soldier doesn't kill without reason.
-Do you plead guilty to mutiny?
190
00:27:35,278 --> 00:27:37,529
A soldier doesn't sacrifice himself
senselessly.
191
00:27:37,697 --> 00:27:39,865
All right.
192
00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:48,082
Zimo, stay out of this.
193
00:27:51,252 --> 00:27:52,836
Sir.
194
00:27:53,088 --> 00:27:55,756
I'm also a soldier. Sir.
195
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:59,176
We're transporting precious goods
for the court.
196
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:02,638
I've asked him to help
guard the caravan.
197
00:28:04,140 --> 00:28:07,768
Brother, you can't abandon us now!
198
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:10,229
Brother.
199
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:12,481
You hear that?
200
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:16,777
The court's orders must be carried out
and he has to do his job.
201
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:19,905
I'll give you three chances.
If you kill me. . .
202
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,158
. . .you'll take the caravan
to the capital.
203
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,411
If you can't beat me. . .
204
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:30,040
. . . I'll take the caravan to the capital
and we'll do battle there.
205
00:28:30,208 --> 00:28:32,000
Agreed. Draw your sword !
206
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:06,762
You've gone over three attacks.
207
00:30:07,222 --> 00:30:11,183
It's a draw! I'll see you in the capital.
208
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,959
Don't sneak around behind my back.
209
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:43,549
Sir, I'd like to see. . .
210
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:46,009
. . . how you deal
with the imperial agent.
211
00:30:46,719 --> 00:30:48,428
You little bastard.
212
00:30:48,596 --> 00:30:51,181
You just want to see
how he deals with me.
213
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,269
Someone needs to collect the body.
214
00:30:56,688 --> 00:31:01,316
-Don't annoy me.
-Relax, you won't even know I'm here.
215
00:31:35,643 --> 00:31:38,312
This is where we say goodbye.
Go home.
216
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:46,612
-You're treating us like strangers.
-It's not like in the old days, is it?
217
00:31:46,863 --> 00:31:50,240
Sir, you're giving old One-Eye
the cold shoulder?
218
00:31:56,372 --> 00:31:59,291
I said, this is where we part.
219
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:01,585
Go home!
220
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:12,804
We're not giving up that easily.
221
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:15,849
Take your usual positions.
Front and rear!
222
00:32:20,521 --> 00:32:23,982
I'm sorry, brother. I don't want
to turn your wives into widows.
223
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:27,861
Build me a house. I'll be back.
224
00:32:28,029 --> 00:32:29,571
Mark my words.
225
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:47,798
Raise the camels!
226
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,485
Halt!
227
00:33:51,529 --> 00:33:55,615
I took the money you gave me
and bought this donkey.
228
00:33:55,783 --> 00:33:59,619
Didn't have enough for a horse.
229
00:34:00,288 --> 00:34:05,000
I gave you enough for five donkeys.
Dumb kid, you've been had.
230
00:34:05,168 --> 00:34:06,793
-Go to the rear.
-You'll take me?
231
00:34:06,961 --> 00:34:08,628
Do it!
232
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:16,094
Ma Gun !
233
00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:19,264
-What's up?
-Come here.
234
00:34:21,642 --> 00:34:24,936
-He's kicking again.
-I'm sure it's a boy.
235
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:29,775
Once I give Ma Gun a little boy,
let him just try and boss me around !
236
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:37,657
Who asked you for a drink?
Get out of here.
237
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:44,539
If I don't return. . .
238
00:34:44,707 --> 00:34:47,459
. . . look after my wife. . .
239
00:34:47,835 --> 00:34:50,587
. . .and daughters.
240
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:55,175
Listen to you. We're blood brothers,
right? It's one for all and all for one.
241
00:34:55,384 --> 00:34:58,345
Don't leave me out of this.
242
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:04,601
-Your wife is about to have a baby.
-What business is that of yours?
243
00:35:38,886 --> 00:35:40,554
Master An.
244
00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:44,182
You're a lion amongst men.
You rule the desert.
245
00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:47,352
What exactly does Lord Khan
want from me?
246
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,062
Talk straight.
247
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:53,066
There's a caravan
from India out there.
248
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:55,485
Our wise leader Lord Khan
wishes you to--
249
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:58,905
Aren't you at war with the Tang?
250
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:02,993
The whole of the West
will soon belong to you.
251
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,871
What's the fuss
about one little caravan?
252
00:36:06,038 --> 00:36:09,875
It's carrying something
Lord Khan wants.
253
00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:19,384
If that's the case,
why not capture it yourself?
254
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:23,930
Our revered Lord Khan has promised
that if you will do this one favor. . .
255
00:36:24,098 --> 00:36:28,768
. . .you can name your reward.
256
00:36:28,936 --> 00:36:33,356
I want his daughter for my wife.
257
00:36:35,276 --> 00:36:40,405
Go tell that to your mighty leader.
258
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:13,540
Now bring out the real swords!
259
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:52,329
If you want to work for me. . .
260
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:55,749
. . .you'd better shape up.
261
00:38:58,085 --> 00:39:01,254
Master An, you're every bit
as amazing as they say.
262
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:04,924
No wonder
you're the boss around here!
263
00:39:05,426 --> 00:39:07,594
I'm a businessman.
264
00:39:08,554 --> 00:39:10,055
There's no need for flattery.
265
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,558
Of course.
266
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:17,604
When the deed's done, Lord Khan will
arrange the marriage you requested.
267
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:22,275
A daughter is a small price to pay
for control of the western regions.
268
00:39:22,443 --> 00:39:23,860
-Don't you think?
-True.
269
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,612
Do you mind? Thank you.
270
00:39:38,459 --> 00:39:40,668
Don't be afraid.
271
00:39:41,629 --> 00:39:44,130
The story's only just begun.
272
00:39:46,258 --> 00:39:48,510
Go prepare the dowry.
273
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:53,158
Old Diehard, on your horse!
274
00:40:53,784 --> 00:40:57,162
Let's visit Big Steed Outpost,
see if we can recruit a few helpers.
275
00:40:57,329 --> 00:41:01,916
Good idea. Looking after the camels
is exhausting.
276
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:05,003
Sir, I'll go with you.
277
00:41:05,171 --> 00:41:09,674
Stay here. If anything goes wrong,
take the caravan to Red Rock Gorge.
278
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:12,677
Don't worry. You can count on me.
279
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:39,704
Something doesn't feel right.
280
00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:46,711
How long
since you've killed anyone?
281
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:49,506
Several years.
282
00:41:50,633 --> 00:41:53,593
Looks like that drought's
about to break.
283
00:41:53,761 --> 00:41:57,555
That's a worry.
My blade's not sharpened.
284
00:42:09,610 --> 00:42:13,112
-What's eating them?
-Scared?
285
00:42:14,156 --> 00:42:15,949
Bad luck.
286
00:42:16,116 --> 00:42:20,453
You poor old man,
getting this as your first job.
287
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:46,521
He's already under my employment.
288
00:42:54,738 --> 00:42:57,490
Looking for bodyguards?
289
00:43:03,956 --> 00:43:07,792
I've got about 1 0 swordsmen.
290
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:10,044
You could hire them.
291
00:43:10,212 --> 00:43:13,339
It's chaos out there.
Not much work going.
292
00:43:13,632 --> 00:43:15,466
We can talk prices.
293
00:43:17,136 --> 00:43:22,348
-I only want some camel drivers.
-Camel drivers?
294
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:26,352
You don't need camel drivers.
295
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,187
You can't fool me.
296
00:43:29,064 --> 00:43:31,858
-Meaning?
-Nothing.
297
00:43:32,234 --> 00:43:34,861
I'm just trying to help my men
find work.
298
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,990
If you want to make it sweet for me,
you'll hire my men.
299
00:43:39,283 --> 00:43:41,159
Otherwise. . .
300
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:45,371
301
00:43:45,706 --> 00:43:48,458
I won't leave you out of pocket.
302
00:43:48,709 --> 00:43:51,294
Two options. You choose.
303
00:43:56,383 --> 00:43:58,217
I already said it. . .
304
00:43:58,385 --> 00:44:01,846
. . . I need camel drivers.
I'm not negotiating.
305
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:41,344
Follow me!
306
00:44:53,315 --> 00:44:54,691
Go!
307
00:45:00,614 --> 00:45:01,864
Quick, over the wall !
308
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:10,832
-Move! Unless you want to fight!
-No way!
309
00:45:29,935 --> 00:45:31,436
Give me your hand.
310
00:46:21,111 --> 00:46:22,570
-Come on !
-Come on !
311
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:24,864
Come with me.
312
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:32,455
Thank you, miss.
313
00:46:33,874 --> 00:46:37,210
I won't make it.
Go on without me.
314
00:46:50,265 --> 00:46:54,352
-Need some help, lieutenant?
-Looks like you're in the wrong place.
315
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,230
You should be waiting for me
in the capital.
316
00:46:57,397 --> 00:47:00,399
I didn't want the bandits to kill you.
317
00:47:00,567 --> 00:47:01,984
It'd save you the trouble.
318
00:47:05,906 --> 00:47:08,407
-Wu reporting !
-Baldy reporting !
319
00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:11,577
-Ma Gun reporting !
-Cao reporting !
320
00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:15,873
Hurry, sir!
321
00:47:21,547 --> 00:47:23,047
Hurry!
322
00:47:23,423 --> 00:47:25,591
I need some guards. Coming?
323
00:47:25,759 --> 00:47:28,678
The sooner we get to
the capital, the better.
324
00:47:31,431 --> 00:47:33,432
Get on your horses!
325
00:47:54,246 --> 00:47:56,163
This is none of your business.
326
00:47:56,331 --> 00:47:58,124
I've been tracking him.
327
00:47:58,292 --> 00:48:00,835
He's mine to kill, not yours.
328
00:48:01,795 --> 00:48:04,297
I could care less if he lives or dies.
329
00:48:04,464 --> 00:48:07,717
Sir, you really ought to be
on your way.
330
00:48:07,885 --> 00:48:10,386
Let's not become enemies
over such a small matter.
331
00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:13,014
This land is still under
Tang jurisdiction.
332
00:48:13,181 --> 00:48:16,183
Where there are no other officials,
I'm in charge.
333
00:48:16,476 --> 00:48:18,352
If you want to pass. . .
334
00:48:18,645 --> 00:48:21,939
. . .you must first pass my sword.
335
00:49:01,188 --> 00:49:03,856
One-Eye! Ma Gun !
336
00:49:04,024 --> 00:49:06,359
-Lead the way.
-Yes, sir!
337
00:49:07,402 --> 00:49:09,528
-Zimo!
-Yes, sir!
338
00:49:09,696 --> 00:49:11,530
-Coordinate all movements!
-Yes, sir!
339
00:49:11,698 --> 00:49:13,532
-Wu !
-Yes, sir!
340
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:15,618
-Baldy!
-Yes, sir!
341
00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:18,537
-Guard the rear!
-Yes, sir!
342
00:49:23,293 --> 00:49:25,878
-What about me?
-You?
343
00:49:26,046 --> 00:49:28,297
Stick with me.
344
00:49:59,037 --> 00:50:03,874
From now on, the mighty Lord Khan's
troops run this town.
345
00:50:04,501 --> 00:50:09,672
Until further instructions, no person
may leave town without permission.
346
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,758
Those who disobey will be killed.
347
00:50:14,761 --> 00:50:16,512
Sir.
348
00:50:17,764 --> 00:50:20,433
We spotted them heading
towards Red Rock Gorge.
349
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,852
They've got half a dozen guards.
350
00:50:24,312 --> 00:50:26,105
Red Rock Gorge?
351
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,151
Let's go.
352
00:51:37,511 --> 00:51:41,430
Sir Lai Xi returned with news.
353
00:51:41,598 --> 00:51:44,308
We were going to leave
Big Steed Outpost...
354
00:51:44,476 --> 00:51:47,770
. . .and race eastwards
to catch up with Li.
355
00:51:47,979 --> 00:51:52,691
Sir Lai Xi didn't want bandits
to get the caravan.
356
00:51:52,859 --> 00:51:57,696
And he wanted to keep an eye
on Butcher Li.
357
00:53:27,454 --> 00:53:30,372
-We fought three battles here.
-Two.
358
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:32,833
-No, three.
-Two.
359
00:53:33,001 --> 00:53:37,046
See, there's Big Wu's grave.
I dug it myself.
360
00:53:37,672 --> 00:53:41,300
We'll pay our respects
on the way back.
361
00:53:42,219 --> 00:53:45,638
Ma Gun. Tell the men to be careful.
362
00:53:45,805 --> 00:53:47,514
Right.
363
00:54:48,368 --> 00:54:51,287
Can the camels
keep up with the horses?
364
00:54:51,454 --> 00:54:54,832
-Just about.
-Go as fast as you can.
365
00:54:55,375 --> 00:54:58,502
-Got it?
-Yes. Let's go!
366
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:16,186
Bandits to the left! Go right!
367
00:55:20,859 --> 00:55:23,610
Faster with the camels!
368
00:55:33,163 --> 00:55:34,580
Di Hu, hurry!
369
00:55:39,502 --> 00:55:41,962
-Get the caravan to catch up!
-Hurry!
370
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:50,929
Old Diehard !
371
00:55:51,306 --> 00:55:53,015
Hurry!
372
00:56:07,405 --> 00:56:08,947
Wait for me.
373
00:56:18,875 --> 00:56:22,544
-Don't let the bandits get away!
-Don't worry, sir!
374
00:56:27,634 --> 00:56:30,094
Wu ! Baldy! Catch the rope.
375
00:56:36,393 --> 00:56:38,268
Raise the rope!
376
00:56:40,146 --> 00:56:41,438
Go!
377
00:56:52,826 --> 00:56:54,868
Catch up with the caravan !
378
00:56:55,203 --> 00:56:58,330
-Where should we go?
-I don't know.
379
00:56:58,498 --> 00:56:59,748
Bandits!
380
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:29,027
Old Diehard, protect the caravan !
381
00:57:38,455 --> 00:57:39,872
Go, Ma Gun, go!
382
00:58:02,187 --> 00:58:04,146
-One-Eye!
-Sir!
383
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:07,232
We'll charge them first.
Lead the caravan into that gully.
384
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,401
As good as done, sir.
385
00:58:14,782 --> 00:58:16,575
Go!
386
00:58:41,518 --> 00:58:43,352
Ma Gun, raise the rope!
387
00:59:04,832 --> 00:59:06,875
Leave him to me!
388
00:59:26,145 --> 00:59:27,604
The caravan's cut in half!
389
00:59:28,982 --> 00:59:30,941
Keep moving !
390
00:59:31,109 --> 00:59:32,359
Follow me.
391
00:59:38,241 --> 00:59:39,866
Go on in.
392
00:59:40,451 --> 00:59:43,537
-Guard the entrance to the gully!
-Yes, sir!
393
00:59:57,010 --> 00:59:59,511
Di Hu, grab the reins.
394
01:00:02,890 --> 01:00:04,641
Quick!
395
01:00:17,947 --> 01:00:20,073
Old Diehard, you go on ahead.
396
01:00:22,201 --> 01:00:25,287
Di Hu, quick, into the gully!
397
01:00:38,718 --> 01:00:41,219
Baldy, you next!
398
01:00:45,850 --> 01:00:50,103
Baldy!
399
01:01:00,615 --> 01:01:02,199
Go!
400
01:01:19,634 --> 01:01:23,011
Block the way in !
401
01:01:41,614 --> 01:01:45,450
Once through the narrow gully...
402
01:01:45,618 --> 01:01:49,162
...we slipped
into a dense poplar forest.
403
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:57,045
Lieutenant Li led us
to a secret underground cemetery.
404
01:01:57,755 --> 01:02:03,009
He wasn't sure
if the bandits knew of it.
405
01:02:03,177 --> 01:02:09,433
But everyone understood that for now
there was no other choice.
406
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:16,815
He pretends not to recognize me.
407
01:02:17,483 --> 01:02:23,071
Maybe he just never imagined
that l'd turn up with Sir Lai Xi.
408
01:02:24,323 --> 01:02:30,412
Or maybe he's just uncomfortable
with the fact that l'm a girl.
409
01:02:31,247 --> 01:02:35,250
The cave is damp.
Take a skin to sit on.
410
01:02:41,257 --> 01:02:43,508
Sir, who's that man?
411
01:02:43,676 --> 01:02:46,178
The imperial agent.
412
01:02:49,348 --> 01:02:52,184
-Wu !
-Wu, don't!
413
01:02:52,351 --> 01:02:56,229
We've still a long way to go.
414
01:03:02,487 --> 01:03:06,198
Sir, rest over there by the fire.
415
01:03:13,122 --> 01:03:15,916
Where could they be hiding?
416
01:03:16,375 --> 01:03:21,171
Wherever they are,
they'll need water soon enough.
417
01:03:27,178 --> 01:03:31,473
The Gobi Desert lies east.
There's no water there.
418
01:03:33,434 --> 01:03:37,562
South is the icy plateau
controlled by the Tibetans.
419
01:03:37,772 --> 01:03:40,649
There are cannibals in the mountains.
420
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:44,986
And to the north, 1 8-Mile Fortress.
421
01:03:46,531 --> 01:03:50,826
-Go poison the Bitter Well.
-Yes, sir.
422
01:03:52,119 --> 01:03:55,789
Tell the Turks to set up
checkpoints on every road. . .
423
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:57,749
-. . .to 1 8-Mile Fortress.
-Done!
424
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:16,935
Don't you think there's something odd
about the bandits' persistence?
425
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:20,939
It is a bit strange.
426
01:04:21,357 --> 01:04:23,525
They cut off the caravan
in the middle.
427
01:04:24,318 --> 01:04:29,406
If their goal was robbery, well,
they've got half the goods already.
428
01:04:33,286 --> 01:04:35,704
They're surely not after
the Buddhist texts.
429
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:40,458
They cut it in half
to isolate the last four people.
430
01:04:43,087 --> 01:04:48,884
Back at the outpost,
An pushed us to hire his men.
431
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:53,597
He wanted to buy out the caravan as
well. It's as if he knows what we have.
432
01:04:54,181 --> 01:04:56,141
It seems that way.
433
01:04:57,101 --> 01:05:01,229
There's got to be something
we don't know about.
434
01:05:02,148 --> 01:05:05,066
Could it be this miniature pagoda?
435
01:05:13,492 --> 01:05:15,827
I'm awake. I'm listening.
436
01:05:17,955 --> 01:05:19,497
Tell us the truth.
437
01:05:19,665 --> 01:05:22,834
What else is there
besides the Buddhist texts?
438
01:05:23,002 --> 01:05:26,504
Nothing ! I've told you everything.
439
01:05:26,672 --> 01:05:31,092
If you don't tell the truth,
we'll turn around and go home.
440
01:05:31,510 --> 01:05:35,013
-Brother. Brother!
-Tell us the truth !
441
01:05:38,017 --> 01:05:42,479
I told you. Just a few pieces
of silver. Nothing else.
442
01:05:42,647 --> 01:05:44,648
That's hardly worth all this fuss!
443
01:05:44,815 --> 01:05:46,524
Brother.
444
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:50,987
-Brother.
-Didn't you see?
445
01:05:51,197 --> 01:05:55,241
-We've lost a man for this!
-Brother! Brother!
446
01:05:55,534 --> 01:05:57,285
Tell us!
447
01:06:08,130 --> 01:06:10,340
Little monk. . .
448
01:06:18,140 --> 01:06:21,977
. . . I am the emperor's emissary.
449
01:06:26,941 --> 01:06:29,567
You can trust me, can't you?
450
01:08:57,424 --> 01:08:59,926
This is what everyone wants.
451
01:09:01,887 --> 01:09:04,764
The relics of the Buddhist saint
Sakyamuni.
452
01:09:40,509 --> 01:09:45,430
The western regions
are steeped in Buddhism.
453
01:09:46,182 --> 01:09:51,352
With this, all the Buddhist kingdoms
could be controlled.
454
01:09:52,813 --> 01:09:56,232
The Turks have to be
behind Master An.
455
01:09:57,234 --> 01:09:59,027
Di Hu.
456
01:10:03,115 --> 01:10:05,325
You've earned this.
457
01:10:05,492 --> 01:10:10,038
You'll grow up to be a great fighter.
458
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:11,998
But now, go home.
459
01:10:24,845 --> 01:10:28,348
Uncles, my deepest gratitude!
460
01:10:37,233 --> 01:10:38,524
-Zimo!
-Sir!
461
01:10:39,193 --> 01:10:41,444
Take 1 0 camels
and hurry to Bitter Well.
462
01:10:41,695 --> 01:10:43,655
Use all your guile.
463
01:10:43,822 --> 01:10:46,616
Let them think
we were there looking for water. . .
464
01:10:46,784 --> 01:10:49,285
. . .and are now forced to
head to 1 8-Mile Fortress.
465
01:10:49,453 --> 01:10:54,332
-Poison two camels at the well.
-Understood.
466
01:10:55,167 --> 01:10:58,211
-Where is the poison?
-Master An already poisoned the well.
467
01:10:59,922 --> 01:11:01,881
-We'll meet at the usual place.
-Yes, sir!
468
01:11:02,049 --> 01:11:04,759
-What do we do then?
-Yeah.
469
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,013
We've got two roads left.
470
01:11:09,848 --> 01:11:11,557
One to the north, one to the east.
471
01:11:11,892 --> 01:11:15,436
At 1 8-Mile Fortress
imperial couriers will be waiting for us.
472
01:11:15,604 --> 01:11:20,608
But the Turks and the bandits
might have killed us all already.
473
01:11:20,776 --> 01:11:25,488
The relics will fall into their hands.
East of the desert lies an isolated fort.
474
01:11:25,656 --> 01:11:30,368
-It's 1 0 days' travel from here.
-But without water we'll never make it.
475
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:40,336
There's an underground river
in the desert.
476
01:11:41,005 --> 01:11:43,965
-I stumbled on it 1 1 years ago.
-That's crap!
477
01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:47,093
-Now isn't the time to tell stories!
-Really! I've seen it!
478
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:49,220
It saved our lives.
479
01:11:51,056 --> 01:11:53,683
I don't think he's kidding.
480
01:12:00,274 --> 01:12:05,361
-Did you drink from it yourself?
-I did !
481
01:12:05,738 --> 01:12:08,323
And you're sure
you can find it again?
482
01:12:14,913 --> 01:12:17,498
If you trust me. . .
483
01:12:18,083 --> 01:12:21,044
-. . . I'm willing to bet my life on it.
-You're on !
484
01:12:23,505 --> 01:12:26,841
Sir Lai Xi, if we don't find the river. . .
485
01:12:27,009 --> 01:12:29,844
. . . not everyone's going to make it.
486
01:12:31,597 --> 01:12:35,391
I won't let you die
before we reach the capital.
487
01:12:38,103 --> 01:12:41,147
In the desert,
it's beyond your control.
488
01:12:41,315 --> 01:12:42,607
Not necessarily.
489
01:12:53,952 --> 01:12:59,707
Little monk, if we don't make it out
of here, this Buddhist treasure. . . .
490
01:13:02,169 --> 01:13:04,379
My mind's eye has seen the capital.
491
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,422
I've seen the temples there.
492
01:13:06,590 --> 01:13:10,927
I've seen the relics
seated on the Lotus Throne.
493
01:13:11,929 --> 01:13:14,639
Please ask Buddha to protect us.
494
01:13:15,641 --> 01:13:17,892
-Do you all understand?
-Yes.
495
01:13:30,864 --> 01:13:33,449
Sir, they're on the way
to Bitter Well.
496
01:13:33,617 --> 01:13:37,286
-How long will it take?
-About two hours.
497
01:13:37,663 --> 01:13:39,705
Brothers, let's go.
498
01:14:12,030 --> 01:14:14,949
-Are you really a criminal?
-What?
499
01:14:17,536 --> 01:14:19,370
What do you think?
500
01:14:22,332 --> 01:14:24,667
What was your crime?
501
01:14:28,297 --> 01:14:30,089
Did you kill someone?
502
01:14:31,049 --> 01:14:35,052
Sometimes killing isn't a crime
and not killing is.
503
01:14:37,347 --> 01:14:42,018
But the court executes murderers.
504
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:14,717
Don't unload the camels.
We'll be heading south shortly.
505
01:15:16,345 --> 01:15:19,263
-Ma Gun, light a fire.
-Understood.
506
01:15:19,431 --> 01:15:20,765
Have you met him before?
507
01:15:28,690 --> 01:15:30,024
Are you going to kill him?
508
01:15:34,321 --> 01:15:36,072
It's my duty.
509
01:15:47,918 --> 01:15:49,752
So not killing can be a crime too.
510
01:15:58,053 --> 01:16:02,473
Rest up.
We've a long journey ahead.
511
01:16:20,993 --> 01:16:24,495
Here. Have some water.
512
01:16:30,460 --> 01:16:31,836
Here.
513
01:16:35,382 --> 01:16:38,259
We get 1 0 mouthfuls a day.
514
01:16:38,719 --> 01:16:40,886
He's already had his ration.
515
01:16:45,851 --> 01:16:47,226
Let the bastard be thirsty!
516
01:16:54,693 --> 01:16:56,777
We can't be far from the old river.
517
01:16:57,237 --> 01:16:58,696
It's up ahead.
518
01:17:03,827 --> 01:17:05,244
Go with him.
519
01:17:05,996 --> 01:17:07,705
Ma Gun.
520
01:17:16,965 --> 01:17:19,967
Sir, have a sip.
521
01:17:26,266 --> 01:17:27,642
Save it.
522
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,362
Sir, look! Someone's coming.
523
01:18:27,285 --> 01:18:28,786
I don't have to look.
524
01:18:29,287 --> 01:18:31,455
It's Zimo.
525
01:18:43,427 --> 01:18:47,888
The riverbed should be here.
526
01:18:49,141 --> 01:18:54,770
I remember there was
a small hill nearby. . .
527
01:18:55,939 --> 01:18:58,357
. . . not this old tree.
528
01:19:09,703 --> 01:19:13,038
Where did the damn river go?
529
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:29,054
They couldn't have gone far.
530
01:19:33,101 --> 01:19:37,271
-Give me some water.
-I couldn't even give you piss!
531
01:19:39,900 --> 01:19:42,735
But I saved two sips from yesterday!
532
01:19:42,903 --> 01:19:44,695
You said I could !
533
01:19:45,614 --> 01:19:49,575
-I don't remember.
-You're denying it, you bastard?
534
01:19:50,118 --> 01:19:53,829
-What? You're busting my balls?
-I'll kill you !
535
01:19:54,372 --> 01:19:58,626
Bastard ! If you're going to start
with me, you better not chicken out!
536
01:19:58,794 --> 01:20:00,920
-Brother. Brother!
-Come on !
537
01:20:01,087 --> 01:20:04,131
-Relax! Let's see your sword !
-Go ahead !
538
01:20:04,299 --> 01:20:08,469
-There will be blood instead of water!
-Get up!
539
01:20:08,678 --> 01:20:10,054
Give me a real fight!
540
01:20:12,641 --> 01:20:15,309
-Brother.
-Get up!
541
01:20:15,477 --> 01:20:18,729
He'd kill a brother
for two sips of water?
542
01:20:36,456 --> 01:20:40,251
-How much is left?
-We can stretch it out one more day.
543
01:20:40,502 --> 01:20:45,047
If they're not back tomorrow,
we'll kill a camel.
544
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,926
Their blood's too thick.
545
01:20:49,094 --> 01:20:51,262
We can't live on that.
546
01:20:51,888 --> 01:20:54,348
If they can't find the river. . .
547
01:20:54,516 --> 01:20:59,603
. . .we'll have to let the monk,
Wen Zhu and Ma Gun leave first.
548
01:20:59,771 --> 01:21:02,064
Save some water for them.
549
01:21:05,068 --> 01:21:06,819
Understood.
550
01:21:07,153 --> 01:21:11,824
Ma Gun's kid ought to be allowed
the chance to get to know his dad.
551
01:21:18,373 --> 01:21:21,292
They have followed us for two days.
552
01:21:21,459 --> 01:21:23,294
Well, you're clever.
553
01:21:24,170 --> 01:21:28,507
I smell the scent
of their tobacco in the air.
554
01:21:39,644 --> 01:21:44,315
Sir, look. There's smoke.
555
01:21:45,233 --> 01:21:47,985
There's a campfire up ahead.
556
01:21:52,699 --> 01:21:54,992
Eighty miles, as the wind blows.
557
01:21:55,327 --> 01:21:56,994
Call up the men.
558
01:22:07,464 --> 01:22:11,258
I've been trying
to place your accent.
559
01:22:11,426 --> 01:22:14,011
I can't work out where you're from.
560
01:22:15,180 --> 01:22:20,351
The officer killed
in your mutiny was my friend.
561
01:22:22,395 --> 01:22:27,149
We drew our swords at the same
moment. He was a good swordsman.
562
01:22:30,904 --> 01:22:33,405
Then how did you defeat him?
563
01:22:33,573 --> 01:22:35,658
I used a short sword.
564
01:22:36,034 --> 01:22:40,871
Speed and efficiency over length.
565
01:22:41,498 --> 01:22:44,458
You can draw a short sword faster.
566
01:22:45,168 --> 01:22:47,002
True.
567
01:22:47,837 --> 01:22:50,631
My teacher maintained. . .
568
01:22:50,799 --> 01:22:54,259
. . .that it's handy for both
offense and defense.
569
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:01,684
Sir.
570
01:23:08,566 --> 01:23:10,442
The others are back.
571
01:23:26,459 --> 01:23:28,252
Old Diehard.
572
01:23:29,796 --> 01:23:33,966
-Sit down.
-Try and hold on.
573
01:23:34,467 --> 01:23:37,594
-Did you find the river?
-Old Diehard.
574
01:23:51,276 --> 01:23:53,944
Brothers, we've got work to do.
575
01:24:01,202 --> 01:24:02,703
Hurry!
576
01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:47,724
Sir, watch your back!
577
01:25:52,063 --> 01:25:53,605
Take this!
578
01:26:08,746 --> 01:26:09,997
I owe you.
579
01:26:11,624 --> 01:26:14,960
-You're safe from me for now.
-You better not regret it.
580
01:26:15,128 --> 01:26:18,297
-Wu, block them !
-Yes, sir!
581
01:26:39,777 --> 01:26:41,904
-Everyone here?
-Yes!
582
01:26:42,113 --> 01:26:44,072
-Wen Zhu?
-I'm here!
583
01:26:48,578 --> 01:26:50,037
They got me.
584
01:26:53,958 --> 01:26:56,293
Damn ! Pull it out!
585
01:26:56,753 --> 01:26:59,296
-Bite on this.
-Hold on !
586
01:27:02,133 --> 01:27:03,967
It's not going to be easy.
587
01:27:10,225 --> 01:27:12,309
Damn !
588
01:27:23,780 --> 01:27:27,407
Brothers, move the bodies away.
589
01:27:45,718 --> 01:27:48,136
A few more hours in the sun. . .
590
01:27:49,347 --> 01:27:51,682
. . .they won't be able
to lift their swords.
591
01:28:43,776 --> 01:28:46,653
She's burning up.
592
01:28:49,073 --> 01:28:51,742
We need water badly.
593
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:16,975
Ma Gun, get back here!
594
01:29:18,144 --> 01:29:19,936
Get back!
595
01:29:44,629 --> 01:29:49,841
Let us handle this.
It's not your turn yet.
596
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:19,764
Good man.
597
01:31:37,241 --> 01:31:39,034
Don't go!
598
01:31:41,579 --> 01:31:43,497
Damn !
599
01:33:58,382 --> 01:33:59,799
He's dead !
600
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:31,414
Old Diehard was right.
601
01:34:31,582 --> 01:34:36,169
ln death, he showed us the river.
602
01:34:44,178 --> 01:34:46,304
The will of the gods.
603
01:34:49,392 --> 01:34:52,060
It is the will of the gods.
604
01:34:52,228 --> 01:34:54,896
Brothers!
605
01:34:55,856 --> 01:34:59,025
Drive out the bandits!
606
01:34:59,193 --> 01:35:01,945
ln the face of this miracle. . .
607
01:35:02,113 --> 01:35:05,407
. . . Master An and his men retreated.
608
01:35:05,616 --> 01:35:10,870
Perhaps they thought heaven
was on our side.
609
01:35:21,799 --> 01:35:27,011
They gave up their chase and
we soon reached Lonesome Fortress.
610
01:35:27,221 --> 01:35:30,140
But we found little relief there.
611
01:35:30,307 --> 01:35:32,726
lt was a ghost town...
612
01:35:32,893 --> 01:35:36,688
...just a handful of soldiers
guarding the armory.
613
01:35:36,856 --> 01:35:42,527
Bandits and Turks
were still a constant threat.
614
01:35:42,695 --> 01:35:44,779
Although everyone was exhausted...
615
01:35:44,947 --> 01:35:49,075
. . .Lieutenant Li didn't allow
us a moment's rest.
616
01:36:00,254 --> 01:36:03,173
-Rockets!
-Hurry! Get them out!
617
01:36:18,731 --> 01:36:20,440
Get the battle-axes!
618
01:36:40,461 --> 01:36:42,629
Can I help?
619
01:36:44,924 --> 01:36:48,218
Little monk, ask Buddha to protect us.
620
01:36:48,385 --> 01:36:50,428
Say your prayers.
621
01:36:52,973 --> 01:36:55,975
Wen Zhu, the battle will be fierce.
622
01:36:56,435 --> 01:36:59,521
I might not be able to look after you.
Please take care.
623
01:36:59,688 --> 01:37:01,231
I'm a general's daughter.
624
01:37:02,399 --> 01:37:04,484
I'm not afraid.
625
01:37:04,652 --> 01:37:08,071
Her father died at the battle
of Frontier Pass.
626
01:37:10,199 --> 01:37:13,743
We'll leave here alive, won't we?
627
01:37:24,338 --> 01:37:25,713
Be careful.
628
01:37:52,324 --> 01:37:54,033
If the Turks attack. . .
629
01:37:54,952 --> 01:37:56,744
. . . put this on.
630
01:37:57,371 --> 01:37:58,788
Wait.
631
01:38:05,671 --> 01:38:07,463
I know you're a good man.
632
01:38:17,266 --> 01:38:21,728
I still don't know where you're from.
633
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:27,942
When you asked before,
I didn't want to tell you.
634
01:38:34,241 --> 01:38:38,661
I'm not actually of the Tang.
635
01:38:38,829 --> 01:38:41,539
I'm Japanese.
636
01:38:41,916 --> 01:38:44,000
Japanese?
637
01:38:46,587 --> 01:38:48,963
Where's Japan?
638
01:38:49,214 --> 01:38:51,257
To the east.
639
01:38:51,425 --> 01:38:55,678
Many days by boat
across the Eastern Sea.
640
01:38:55,846 --> 01:38:58,848
It's a group of islands.
641
01:39:01,685 --> 01:39:05,605
You came from there
to hunt me down?
642
01:39:06,523 --> 01:39:09,025
No, I was assigned
to the Tang court.
643
01:39:09,193 --> 01:39:11,861
Do you know how that works?
644
01:39:14,907 --> 01:39:18,493
I was sent to the capital to study.
645
01:39:18,661 --> 01:39:22,372
I was 1 3 when I arrived.
646
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,875
I studied sword and short blade.
647
01:39:26,043 --> 01:39:31,047
Later I studied land, cavalry
and maritime warfare.
648
01:39:32,633 --> 01:39:34,592
Thirteen?
649
01:39:36,136 --> 01:39:38,763
You've been studying all this time?
650
01:39:47,231 --> 01:39:49,691
I miss my family.
651
01:39:50,109 --> 01:39:52,610
I want to go home.
652
01:39:55,155 --> 01:39:59,075
Then you must. It's about time.
653
01:40:01,036 --> 01:40:05,540
I can go once I've killed you.
654
01:40:12,089 --> 01:40:13,423
The Turks are coming !
655
01:40:38,115 --> 01:40:40,408
-Ready to go!
-The fort's still ours! Go!
656
01:41:33,879 --> 01:41:35,463
Let the oil barrels go!
657
01:41:37,841 --> 01:41:39,425
Torches!
658
01:42:38,902 --> 01:42:40,570
Wen Zhu, the catapults!
659
01:43:11,476 --> 01:43:14,729
Wen Zhu, ignite the rockets!
660
01:43:38,086 --> 01:43:39,629
Secure the gate!
661
01:43:43,884 --> 01:43:45,343
Get back!
662
01:43:45,510 --> 01:43:47,345
Hurry! Everyone inside! Quick!
663
01:44:18,293 --> 01:44:20,044
Ma Gun, you first!
664
01:44:23,924 --> 01:44:25,424
Hurry!
665
01:44:28,053 --> 01:44:29,679
You go first!
666
01:44:43,151 --> 01:44:44,694
Go!
667
01:45:29,698 --> 01:45:31,115
Hurry!
668
01:45:34,911 --> 01:45:36,370
Zimo, come on !
669
01:45:36,538 --> 01:45:39,165
Sir, wait for me!
670
01:46:35,806 --> 01:46:41,644
Pay tribute to the men we've lost
with prayer and song.
671
01:47:29,401 --> 01:47:31,318
The will of the gods.
672
01:47:33,613 --> 01:47:36,282
It is the will of the gods.
673
01:47:38,118 --> 01:47:40,703
You're no longer needed here,
Master An.
674
01:47:40,871 --> 01:47:42,329
You may go.
675
01:47:49,713 --> 01:47:52,423
No longer needed, you say?
676
01:48:01,016 --> 01:48:03,476
I'm not going anywhere.
677
01:48:09,733 --> 01:48:11,859
I'm going to kill him !
678
01:48:12,903 --> 01:48:15,362
That's your business.
679
01:48:16,072 --> 01:48:17,490
Nothing to do with us.
680
01:48:37,928 --> 01:48:49,813
Raise the camels!
681
01:51:04,282 --> 01:51:05,991
No!
682
01:52:16,396 --> 01:52:18,355
Mother. . .
683
01:52:18,523 --> 01:52:20,649
. . . I'm coming home.
684
01:53:16,456 --> 01:53:18,499
You. . . .
685
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:23,021
Where are you going?
686
01:54:27,443 --> 01:54:28,944
Back to the west.
687
01:54:33,491 --> 01:54:35,117
I'm going with you.
688
01:55:08,860 --> 01:55:12,154
The remains of the Sakyamuni Buddha
were settled within the Imperial Palace. . .
689
01:55:12,322 --> 01:55:15,616
. . . bathing it in a brilliant halo of
golden light. From this time forward. . .
690
01:55:15,783 --> 01:55:18,911
. . .the Tang Dynasty enjoyed an era of
unparalleled peace and prosperity. . .
691
01:55:19,078 --> 01:55:22,039
. . .which would become known as
The Golden Age in the history of China.
