1
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:59,368
At the start of the Eighth Century...
2
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:02,830
...the Tang Empire stretched
from the Sea of Japan to Uzbekistan.
3
00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:06,876
The Western Regions
were holy land...
4
00:02:07,795 --> 00:02:11,714
...thirty six Buddhist kingdoms...
5
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:19,222
... 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 --> 00:02:29,357
...along which passed riches...
8
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,528
... 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
00:03:08,105 --> 00:03:12,775
Sir Lai Xi was my father's friend.
12
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:19,115
He was an imperial agent
on a secret mission.
13
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:25,288
Whilst studying at the court,
you've won our favor.
14
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:28,416
We entrust to you...
15
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:34,088
...the mission of eliminating...
16
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:38,801
...fugitives in the western regions.
17
00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:42,054
This will also be a final test
of your skill.
18
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:46,851
Fulfill this mission and we
may allow you to return home.
19
00:03:49,438 --> 00:03:52,648
The emperor bestowed on him
the imperial sword...
20
00:03:52,816 --> 00:03:55,109
...and with it the power
over life and death.
21
00:03:55,277 --> 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
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:06,078
Whenever he appeared
at Frontier Pass...
24
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:09,332
...it was only to rush off
somewhere else.
25
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:13,836
Father said Sir Lai Xi
wished to go home.
26
00:04:14,004 --> 00:04:16,255
But the emperor
never granted him permission.
27
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:19,675
Instead, he sent him here...
28
00:04:19,843 --> 00:04:22,803
...to bring fugitives to justice.
29
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:28,351
He's been on this mission here
in the wilderness for 10 years now.
30
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:37,193
Dear Mother:
Today I reached Frontier Pass.
31
00:04:37,361 --> 00:04:40,738
It's my new base
for carrying out my mission.
32
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:43,115
General Wen, who's in charge here...
33
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:47,161
...says the emperor
will send me home soon.
34
00:04:47,329 --> 00:04:50,748
I've been in this country
for 25 years...
35
00:04:50,916 --> 00:04:54,293
...but my heart is in my homeland.
36
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:58,339
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
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:06,305
I've asked Sir Lai Xi
to escort you to the capital.
39
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:18,693
You're finally going home.
40
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,947
Yes, at last.
41
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:25,574
The messenger is here!
42
00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:31,288
Sir Lai Xi! Receive new orders!
43
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:41,966
When I was younger,
I had seen this fugitive.
44
00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:45,469
They called him "The Butcher" Li.
45
00:05:45,637 --> 00:05:50,725
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 --> 00:06:02,403
Lieutenant Li says to let them go.
48
00:06:03,572 --> 00:06:05,156
But that's against orders!
49
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:08,451
The general wants them all dead!
What are you waiting for?
50
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:11,454
They're women and children!
51
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:16,709
We're soldiers.
We don't kill unarmed civilians.
52
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:18,753
- Free them!
- You're disobeying orders.
53
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,798
- Kill him!
- Spare the captives!
54
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:25,051
Let's go!
55
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,528
When the emperor found out,
he was furious.
56
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:47,740
He's been trying
to apprehend Li ever since.
57
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:53,621
At first Li and the other mutineers
made a living guarding camel trains.
58
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:56,999
But they haven't been seen
for years.
59
00:06:57,167 --> 00:06:59,126
I'll leave you here.
60
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:02,963
Don't follow me.
Go to Western Lake.
61
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,801
Marry and live in peace.
62
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:27,154
The minister of justice...
63
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:33,536
...informed me of this most
wanted fugitive's reappearance.
64
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:37,998
I can't abandon my mission now.
65
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:42,711
I owe the emperor too much.
66
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:50,010
And so, as yet,
I am unable to return.
67
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:54,223
Please, dear Mother, forgive me.
68
00:07:56,059 --> 00:08:00,521
When I've left...
69
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:03,524
... please give this
to my replacement.
70
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:44,481
Lieutenant Li's reappearance
changed Sir Lai Xi's plans...
71
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:50,571
...and I'd be along for the chase
on the way to the capital.
72
00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:21,810
Vengeance Kui!
73
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,006
Well done!
74
00:10:17,909 --> 00:10:22,454
The Iron-Gate Pass Army delivers this
caravan to the troops of Frontier Pass.
75
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:26,709
We've lost five camels and one horse,
but all the other cargo is intact.
76
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:30,379
The Frontier Pass troops
accept the mission.
77
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:33,382
Prepare to leave for 18-Mile Fortress!
78
00:10:34,384 --> 00:10:38,178
The handover is complete! Go!
79
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,395
Raise the camels!
80
00:11:14,549 --> 00:11:17,259
The storm's coming!
81
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:47,373
Is anyone there?
82
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:52,586
Is anyone else alive?
83
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:57,466
Yes....
84
00:12:29,165 --> 00:12:31,625
He's still alive!
85
00:12:55,859 --> 00:12:57,651
Here we go.
86
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:45,032
Baldy, it's me.
87
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,211
Get lost!
88
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,756
Stinking beggar, go the hell
back to Western Lake.
89
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:04,051
Get lost!
90
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:25,614
- Where did you come from?
- Over the ridge.
91
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:35,916
Do you know who's boss here?
92
00:14:37,961 --> 00:14:39,795
Master An.
93
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:43,382
Say it for me.
94
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:47,970
- Master An is boss here.
- Get lost!
95
00:15:21,004 --> 00:15:23,547
18-Mile Fortress is east of here.
96
00:15:23,798 --> 00:15:26,174
So why are we heading north?
97
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:31,972
The road east is full of Turks
and bandits. There's no way through.
98
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:34,850
Yeah.
99
00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:39,521
And all we've got is this little monk
who just prays all day long.
100
00:15:41,316 --> 00:15:43,817
Pray for some better luck for me,
will you?
101
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:55,412
We'll go north first...
102
00:15:55,580 --> 00:16:00,125
...where there's water and pasture.
We can rest there.
103
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:06,882
- And hire some swordsmen.
- Hire? But...
104
00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:09,134
... how much will that cost?
105
00:16:10,136 --> 00:16:12,262
How much is your life worth?
106
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:21,146
You want the one
they call Butcher Li.
107
00:16:22,023 --> 00:16:27,778
One of his old deputies, One-Eye Cao,
lives at Western Lake.
108
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:31,615
He came to town last year
to sell an ox.
109
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:36,620
I have to go.
110
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:39,081
I leave Wen Zhu in your charge.
111
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:43,335
There are too many bandits around.
112
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,422
I'll look after her.
113
00:17:09,904 --> 00:17:14,241
Don't go outside. It's not safe.
114
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:17,619
They'll bring in your meals.
115
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,955
I'll only be away a few days.
116
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:21,957
Wait here for me.
117
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,259
Will you be able to find him?
118
00:17:41,811 --> 00:17:44,354
The court wants him dealt with.
119
00:17:45,857 --> 00:17:49,818
I must do my duty by the people
and the emperor.
120
00:18:15,762 --> 00:18:20,390
Hunting down and killing fugitives,
is there much money in that?
121
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:28,190
I get by.
122
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:33,695
You're an imperial agent.
123
00:18:44,582 --> 00:18:45,874
Why do you say that?
124
00:19:58,698 --> 00:20:01,491
He's a force to be reckoned with.
125
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:31,980
- This one!
- That one!
126
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:34,816
The white one!
127
00:21:02,637 --> 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 --> 00:21:11,353
What are you doing?
129
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:16,358
- Is that a caravan?
- Yes.
130
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:18,485
How many people?
131
00:21:19,612 --> 00:21:22,322
- Three.
- What sort of people?
132
00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:24,824
A Turk, a monk...
133
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:27,077
...and a soldier.
134
00:21:32,333 --> 00:21:34,125
I'll get the others.
135
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:41,716
Take a good look at the Turk.
136
00:21:44,387 --> 00:21:47,180
- Yeah, so, he's a Turk.
- Take another look.
137
00:21:47,932 --> 00:21:50,517
- He's still a Turk.
- Look again.
138
00:21:59,902 --> 00:22:03,405
You can't even see
with two good eyes!
139
00:22:20,423 --> 00:22:22,632
Sir!
140
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:42,068
Still the same old One-Eye Eagle.
141
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:56,708
Something to eat?
142
00:22:58,669 --> 00:23:00,503
Thank you.
143
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:03,465
Bless you.
144
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,058
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 --> 00:23:25,737
Sir, how is it
you've got a soldier with you?
148
00:23:28,991 --> 00:23:31,034
What are you carrying?
149
00:23:31,202 --> 00:23:33,244
I don't know.
And it's not for me to ask.
150
00:23:34,205 --> 00:23:36,122
Exactly.
151
00:23:41,003 --> 00:23:44,214
He saved me. I have to help him.
152
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:48,718
Sir, we're blood brothers.
153
00:23:48,886 --> 00:23:51,638
If there's anything we can do,
just say.
154
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:58,311
There's nothing. I just dropped in
to say hello. I can't stay.
155
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:01,856
I'll be off at sunrise.
I'll hire more guards at the outpost.
156
00:24:02,608 --> 00:24:05,568
- It's in ruins and nearly deserted.
- It's true.
157
00:24:06,529 --> 00:24:08,446
It's in shambles.
158
00:24:08,614 --> 00:24:11,991
If I'd known,
I'd have ditched him back there.
159
00:24:13,369 --> 00:24:14,619
- Getting soft.
- Yeah.
160
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:16,329
You could still do it.
161
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:18,748
Sir, why don't....
162
00:24:19,583 --> 00:24:21,417
Soldier!
163
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:25,213
Carrying anything of value?
164
00:24:25,381 --> 00:24:28,216
No, just a heap of Buddhist texts.
165
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:33,263
Why not trade them in for a wife?
Move in here with us.
166
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:41,521
- You sure know how to pick a place.
- Good, isn't it?
167
00:24:43,232 --> 00:24:46,985
- I should settle down here too.
- Great!
168
00:24:47,403 --> 00:24:50,155
Not so fast.
Let me see him off safely first.
169
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:56,035
Take me with you, sir.
170
00:25:51,342 --> 00:25:53,301
Wake up.
171
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:57,222
Need some work?
172
00:25:57,806 --> 00:26:00,350
- Yes.
- It's dangerous work.
173
00:26:00,851 --> 00:26:02,894
What else is there?
174
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,729
I've got by this far.
175
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:07,565
I know the rules of the road.
176
00:26:08,192 --> 00:26:12,862
- Name?
- They call me Old Diehard.
177
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:27,377
- Saddle up your horse. Let's go.
- What horse?
178
00:26:27,795 --> 00:26:33,216
- No horse and you expect to work?
- I sold it because I had no work.
179
00:26:38,347 --> 00:26:41,099
They call me Salamander.
My real name is Di Hu.
180
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:42,976
All my life, I've known danger.
181
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:45,311
I know the rules of the road.
182
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:49,983
- And your folks?
- Don't have any.
183
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,694
And my teacher's dead.
My friends are all soldiers.
184
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,321
Go find a place to learn a trade.
185
00:26:59,994 --> 00:27:02,704
Try me out first, uncle.
186
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:09,794
- Don't follow us.
- Uncle, please, try me out.
187
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:28,438
- Butcher Li.
- And you must be the imperial agent.
188
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:30,690
Do you plead guilty
to disobeying orders?
189
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:35,111
- A soldier doesn't kill without reason.
- Do you plead guilty to mutiny?
190
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,530
A soldier doesn't sacrifice himself
senselessly.
191
00:27:37,698 --> 00:27:39,866
All right.
192
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:48,082
Zimo, stay out of this.
193
00:27:51,253 --> 00:27:52,837
Sir.
194
00:27:53,088 --> 00:27:55,757
I'm also a soldier. Sir.
195
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:59,177
We're transporting precious goods
for the court.
196
00:27:59,345 --> 00:28:02,638
I've asked him to help
guard the caravan.
197
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:07,769
Brother, you can't abandon us now!
198
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:10,229
Brother.
199
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:12,482
You hear that?
200
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:16,778
The court's orders must be carried out
and he has to do his job.
201
00:28:16,945 --> 00:28:19,906
I'll give you three chances.
If you kill me...
202
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,159
...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 --> 00:28:30,041
... I'll take the caravan to the capital
and we'll do battle there.
205
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,001
Agreed. Draw your sword!
206
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:06,762
You've gone over three attacks.
207
00:30:07,222 --> 00:30:11,184
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
00:30:43,717 --> 00:30:46,010
... how you deal
with the imperial agent.
211
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,429
You little bastard.
212
00:30:48,597 --> 00:30:51,182
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 --> 00:31:01,317
- Don't annoy me.
- Relax, you won't even know I'm here.
215
00:31:35,644 --> 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 --> 00:31:50,241
Sir, you're giving old One-Eye
the cold shoulder?
218
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:59,292
I said, this is where we part.
219
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:01,586
Go home!
220
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:12,805
We're not giving up that easily.
221
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:15,850
Take your usual positions.
Front and rear!
222
00:32:20,522 --> 00:32:23,983
I'm sorry, brother. I don't want
to turn your wives into widows.
223
00:32:25,027 --> 00:32:27,862
Build me a house. I'll be back.
224
00:32:28,030 --> 00:32:29,572
Mark my words.
225
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:47,798
Raise the camels!
226
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,486
Halt!
227
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:55,616
I took the money you gave me
and bought this donkey.
228
00:33:55,784 --> 00:33:59,620
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 --> 00:34:06,794
- Go to the rear.
- You'll take me?
231
00:34:06,962 --> 00:34:08,629
Do it!
232
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:16,095
Ma Gun!
233
00:34:16,263 --> 00:34:19,265
- What's up?
- Come here.
234
00:34:21,643 --> 00:34:24,937
- He's kicking again.
- I'm sure it's a boy.
235
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:29,775
Once I give Ma Gun a little boy,
let him just try and boss me around!
236
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:37,658
Who asked you for a drink?
Get out of here.
237
00:34:42,247 --> 00:34:44,540
If I don't return...
238
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:47,460
... look after my wife...
239
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:50,588
...and daughters.
240
00:34:50,756 --> 00:34:55,176
Listen to you. We're blood brothers,
right? It's one for all and all for one.
241
00:34:55,385 --> 00:34:58,345
Don't leave me out of this.
242
00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:04,602
- Your wife is about to have a baby.
- What business is that of yours?
243
00:35:38,887 --> 00:35:40,554
Master An.
244
00:35:40,722 --> 00:35:44,183
You're a lion amongst men.
You rule the desert.
245
00:35:44,351 --> 00:35:47,353
What exactly does Lord Khan
want from me?
246
00:35:47,521 --> 00:35:49,063
Talk straight.
247
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:53,067
There's a caravan
from India out there.
248
00:35:53,235 --> 00:35:55,486
Our wise leader Lord Khan
wishes you to-
249
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,906
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
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:09,875
It's carrying something
Lord Khan wants.
253
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:19,385
If that's the case,
why not capture it yourself?
254
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:23,931
Our revered Lord Khan has promised
that if you will do this one favor...
255
00:36:24,099 --> 00:36:28,769
...you can name your reward.
256
00:36:28,937 --> 00:36:33,357
I want his daughter for my wife.
257
00:36:35,277 --> 00:36:40,406
Go tell that to your mighty leader.
258
00:38:11,623 --> 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
00:38:53,665 --> 00:38:55,749
...you'd better shape up.
261
00:38:58,086 --> 00:39:01,255
Master An, you're every bit
as amazing as they say.
262
00:39:01,423 --> 00:39:04,925
No wonder
you're the boss around here!
263
00:39:05,427 --> 00:39:07,594
I'm a businessman.
264
00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:10,055
There's no need for flattery.
265
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:13,559
Of course.
266
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:17,604
When the deed's done, Lord Khan will
arrange the marriage you requested.
267
00:39:18,148 --> 00:39:22,276
A daughter is a small price to pay
for control of the western regions.
268
00:39:22,444 --> 00:39:23,861
- Don't you think?
- True.
269
00:39:24,029 --> 00:39:25,612
Do you mind? Thank you.
270
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:40,669
Don't be afraid.
271
00:39:41,629 --> 00:39:44,131
The story's only just begun.
272
00:39:46,259 --> 00:39:48,510
Go prepare the dowry.
273
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:53,158
Old Diehard, on your horse!
274
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:57,162
Let's visit Big Steed Outpost,
see if we can recruit a few helpers.
275
00:40:57,330 --> 00:41:01,917
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 --> 00:41:09,675
Stay here. If anything goes wrong,
take the caravan to Red Rock Gorge.
278
00:41:09,843 --> 00:41:12,678
Don't worry. You can count on me.
279
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:39,705
Something doesn't feel right.
280
00:41:44,544 --> 00:41:46,712
How long
since you've killed anyone?
281
00:41:47,422 --> 00:41:49,506
Several years.
282
00:41:50,633 --> 00:41:53,594
Looks like that drought's
about to break.
283
00:41:53,761 --> 00:41:57,556
That's a worry.
My blade's not sharpened.
284
00:42:09,611 --> 00:42:13,113
- What's eating them?
- Scared?
285
00:42:14,157 --> 00:42:15,949
Bad luck.
286
00:42:16,117 --> 00:42:20,454
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
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:57,491
Looking for bodyguards?
289
00:43:03,957 --> 00:43:07,793
I've got about 10 swordsmen.
290
00:43:08,336 --> 00:43:10,045
You could hire them.
291
00:43:10,213 --> 00:43:13,340
It's chaos out there.
Not much work going.
292
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:15,467
We can talk prices.
293
00:43:17,136 --> 00:43:22,349
- I only want some camel drivers.
- Camel drivers?
294
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:26,353
You don't need camel drivers.
295
00:43:26,521 --> 00:43:28,188
You can't fool me.
296
00:43:29,065 --> 00:43:31,858
- Meaning?
- Nothing.
297
00:43:32,235 --> 00:43:34,861
I'm just trying to help my men
find work.
298
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,991
If you want to make it sweet for me,
you'll hire my men.
299
00:43:39,284 --> 00:43:41,159
Otherwise...
300
00:43:41,703 --> 00:43:45,372
... name a price.
I'll take the caravan off your hands.
301
00:43:45,707 --> 00:43:48,458
I won't leave you out of pocket.
302
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:51,295
Two options. You choose.
303
00:43:56,384 --> 00:43:58,218
I already said it...
304
00:43:58,386 --> 00:44:01,847
... I need camel drivers.
I'm not negotiating.
305
00:44:40,094 --> 00:44:41,345
Follow me!
306
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:54,691
Go!
307
00:45:00,615 --> 00:45:01,865
Quick, over the wall!
308
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:10,832
- Move! Unless you want to fight!
- No way!
309
00:45:29,936 --> 00:45:31,436
Give me your hand.
310
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:22,571
- Come on!
- Come on!
311
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:24,865
Come with me.
312
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:32,456
Thank you, miss.
313
00:46:33,875 --> 00:46:37,210
I won't make it.
Go on without me.
314
00:46:50,266 --> 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
00:46:57,398 --> 00:47:00,400
I didn't want the bandits to kill you.
317
00:47:00,568 --> 00:47:01,985
It'd save you the trouble.
318
00:47:05,907 --> 00:47:08,408
- Wu reporting!
- Baldy reporting!
319
00:47:08,618 --> 00:47:11,578
- Ma Gun reporting!
- Cao reporting!
320
00:47:13,915 --> 00:47:15,874
Hurry, sir!
321
00:47:21,547 --> 00:47:23,048
Hurry!
322
00:47:23,424 --> 00:47:25,592
I need some guards. Coming?
323
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,678
The sooner we get to
the capital, the better.
324
00:47:31,432 --> 00:47:33,433
Get on your horses!
325
00:47:54,247 --> 00:47:56,164
This is none of your business.
326
00:47:56,332 --> 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
00:48:01,796 --> 00:48:04,297
I could care less if he lives or dies.
329
00:48:04,465 --> 00:48:07,717
Sir, you really ought to be
on your way.
330
00:48:07,885 --> 00:48:10,387
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
00:48:13,182 --> 00:48:16,184
Where there are no other officials,
I'm in charge.
333
00:48:16,477 --> 00:48:18,353
If you want to pass...
334
00:48:18,646 --> 00:48:21,940
...you must first pass my sword.
335
00:49:01,188 --> 00:49:03,857
One-Eye! Ma Gun!
336
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:06,359
- Lead the way.
- Yes, sir!
337
00:49:07,403 --> 00:49:09,529
- Zimo!
- Yes, sir!
338
00:49:09,697 --> 00:49:11,531
- Coordinate all movements!
- Yes, sir!
339
00:49:11,699 --> 00:49:13,533
- Wu!
- Yes, sir!
340
00:49:13,701 --> 00:49:15,619
- Baldy!
- Yes, sir!
341
00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:18,538
- Guard the rear!
- Yes, sir!
342
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:25,879
- What about me?
- You?
343
00:49:26,047 --> 00:49:28,298
Stick with me.
344
00:49:59,038 --> 00:50:03,875
From now on, the mighty Lord Khan's
troops run this town.
345
00:50:04,502 --> 00:50:09,673
Until further instructions, no person
may leave town without permission.
346
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,759
Those who disobey will be killed.
347
00:50:14,762 --> 00:50:16,513
Sir.
348
00:50:17,765 --> 00:50:20,433
We spotted them heading
towards Red Rock Gorge.
349
00:50:20,601 --> 00:50:22,852
They've got half a dozen guards.
350
00:50:24,313 --> 00:50:26,106
Red Rock Gorge?
351
00:50:28,401 --> 00:50:30,151
Let's go.
352
00:51:37,511 --> 00:51:41,431
Sir Lai Xi returned with news.
353
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:44,309
We were going to leave
Big Steed Outpost...
354
00:51:44,477 --> 00:51:47,771
...and race eastwards
to catch up with Li.
355
00:51:47,980 --> 00:51:52,692
Sir Lai Xi didn't want bandits
to get the caravan.
356
00:51:52,860 --> 00:51:57,697
And he wanted to keep an eye
on Butcher Li.
357
00:53:27,454 --> 00:53:30,373
- We fought three battles here.
- Two.
358
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:32,834
- No, three.
- Two.
359
00:53:33,002 --> 00:53:37,046
See, there's Big Wu's grave.
I dug it myself.
360
00:53:37,673 --> 00:53:41,301
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
00:53:45,806 --> 00:53:47,515
Right.
363
00:54:48,369 --> 00:54:51,287
Can the camels
keep up with the horses?
364
00:54:51,455 --> 00:54:54,832
- Just about.
- Go as fast as you can.
365
00:54:55,376 --> 00:54:58,503
- Got it?
- Yes. Let's go!
366
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:16,187
Bandits to the left! Go right!
367
00:55:20,859 --> 00:55:23,611
Faster with the camels!
368
00:55:33,163 --> 00:55:34,580
Di Hu, hurry!
369
00:55:39,503 --> 00:55:41,963
- Get the caravan to catch up!
- Hurry!
370
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:50,930
Old Diehard!
371
00:55:51,306 --> 00:55:53,016
Hurry!
372
00:56:07,406 --> 00:56:08,948
Wait for me.
373
00:56:18,876 --> 00:56:22,545
- 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 --> 00:56:38,269
Raise the rope!
376
00:56:40,147 --> 00:56:41,439
Go!
377
00:56:52,826 --> 00:56:54,869
Catch up with the caravan!
378
00:56:55,204 --> 00:56:58,331
- Where should we go?
- I don't know.
379
00:56:58,499 --> 00:56:59,749
Bandits!
380
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:29,028
Old Diehard, protect the caravan!
381
00:57:38,455 --> 00:57:39,872
Go, Ma Gun, go!
382
00:58:02,187 --> 00:58:04,147
- One-Eye!
- Sir!
383
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:07,233
We'll charge them first.
Lead the caravan into that gully.
384
00:58:07,401 --> 00:58:09,402
As good as done, sir.
385
00:58:14,783 --> 00:58:16,576
Go!
386
00:58:41,518 --> 00:58:43,352
Ma Gun, raise the rope!
387
00:59:04,833 --> 00:59:06,876
Leave him to me!
388
00:59:26,146 --> 00:59:27,605
The caravan's cut in half!
389
00:59:28,982 --> 00:59:30,942
Keep moving!
390
00:59:31,109 --> 00:59:32,360
Follow me.
391
00:59:38,242 --> 00:59:39,867
Go on in.
392
00:59:40,452 --> 00:59:43,537
- Guard the entrance to the gully!
- Yes, sir!
393
00:59:57,010 --> 00:59:59,512
Di Hu, grab the reins.
394
01:00:02,891 --> 01:00:04,642
Quick!
395
01:00:17,948 --> 01:00:20,074
Old Diehard, you go on ahead.
396
01:00:22,202 --> 01:00:25,288
Di Hu, quick, into the gully!
397
01:00:38,719 --> 01:00:41,220
Baldy, you next!
398
01:00:45,851 --> 01:00:50,104
Baldy!
399
01:01:00,615 --> 01:01:02,199
Go!
400
01:01:19,634 --> 01:01:23,012
Block the way in!
401
01:01:41,615 --> 01:01:45,451
Once through the narrow gully...
402
01:01:45,619 --> 01:01:49,163
...we slipped
into a dense poplar forest.
403
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:57,046
Lieutenant Li led us
to a secret underground cemetery.
404
01:01:57,756 --> 01:02:03,010
He wasn't sure
if the bandits knew of it.
405
01:02:03,178 --> 01:02:09,433
But everyone understood that for now
there was no other choice.
406
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:16,816
He pretends not to recognize me.
407
01:02:17,484 --> 01:02:23,072
Maybe he just never imagined
that I'd turn up with Sir Lai Xi.
408
01:02:24,324 --> 01:02:30,413
Or maybe he's just uncomfortable
with the fact that I'm a girl.
409
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:35,251
The cave is damp.
Take a skin to sit on.
410
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:43,509
Sir, who's that man?
411
01:02:43,677 --> 01:02:46,178
The imperial agent.
412
01:02:49,349 --> 01:02:52,184
- Wu!
- Wu, don't!
413
01:02:52,352 --> 01:02:56,230
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
01:03:13,123 --> 01:03:15,916
Where could they be hiding?
416
01:03:16,376 --> 01:03:21,172
Wherever they are,
they'll need water soon enough.
417
01:03:27,179 --> 01:03:31,474
The Gobi Desert lies east.
There's no water there.
418
01:03:33,435 --> 01:03:37,563
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 --> 01:03:44,987
And to the north, 18-Mile Fortress.
421
01:03:46,531 --> 01:03:50,826
- Go poison the Bitter Well.
- Yes, sir.
422
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,789
Tell the Turks to set up
checkpoints on every road...
423
01:03:56,041 --> 01:03:57,750
- ...to 18-Mile Fortress.
- Done!
424
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:16,936
Don't you think there's something odd
about the bandits' persistence?
425
01:04:18,355 --> 01:04:20,940
It is a bit strange.
426
01:04:21,358 --> 01:04:23,526
They cut off the caravan
in the middle.
427
01:04:24,319 --> 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 --> 01:04:40,459
They cut it in half
to isolate the last four people.
430
01:04:43,088 --> 01:04:48,884
Back at the outpost,
An pushed us to hire his men.
431
01:04:49,052 --> 01:04:53,597
He wanted to buy out the caravan as
well. It's as if he knows what we have.
432
01:04:54,182 --> 01:04:56,141
It seems that way.
433
01:04:57,102 --> 01:05:01,230
There's got to be something
we don't know about.
434
01:05:02,148 --> 01:05:05,067
Could it be this miniature pagoda?
435
01:05:13,493 --> 01:05:15,828
I'm awake. I'm listening.
436
01:05:17,956 --> 01:05:19,498
Tell us the truth.
437
01:05:19,666 --> 01:05:22,835
What else is there
besides the Buddhist texts?
438
01:05:23,003 --> 01:05:26,505
Nothing! I've told you everything.
439
01:05:26,673 --> 01:05:31,093
If you don't tell the truth,
we'll turn around and go home.
440
01:05:31,511 --> 01:05:35,014
- Brother. Brother!
- Tell us the truth!
441
01:05:38,018 --> 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
01:05:44,816 --> 01:05:46,525
Brother.
444
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:50,988
- Brother.
- Didn't you see?
445
01:05:51,197 --> 01:05:55,242
- We've lost a man for this!
- Brother! Brother!
446
01:05:55,535 --> 01:05:57,286
Tell us!
447
01:06:08,131 --> 01:06:10,341
Little monk...
448
01:06:18,141 --> 01:06:21,977
... I am the emperor's emissary.
449
01:06:26,941 --> 01:06:29,568
You can trust me, can't you?
450
01:08:57,425 --> 01:08:59,927
This is what everyone wants.
451
01:09:01,888 --> 01:09:04,765
The relics of the Buddhist saint
Sakyamuni.
452
01:09:40,510 --> 01:09:45,430
The western regions
are steeped in Buddhism.
453
01:09:46,182 --> 01:09:51,353
With this, all the Buddhist kingdoms
could be controlled.
454
01:09:52,814 --> 01:09:56,233
The Turks have to be
behind Master An.
455
01:09:57,235 --> 01:09:59,027
Di Hu.
456
01:10:03,116 --> 01:10:05,325
You've earned this.
457
01:10:05,493 --> 01:10:10,038
You'll grow up to be a great fighter.
458
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:11,999
But now, go home.
459
01:10:24,846 --> 01:10:28,348
Uncles, my deepest gratitude!
460
01:10:37,233 --> 01:10:38,525
- Zimo!
- Sir!
461
01:10:39,193 --> 01:10:41,445
Take 10 camels
and hurry to Bitter Well.
462
01:10:41,696 --> 01:10:43,655
Use all your guile.
463
01:10:43,823 --> 01:10:46,617
Let them think
we were there looking for water...
464
01:10:46,784 --> 01:10:49,286
...and are now forced to
head to 18-Mile Fortress.
465
01:10:49,454 --> 01:10:54,333
- Poison two camels at the well.
- Understood.
466
01:10:55,168 --> 01:10:58,211
- Where is the poison?
- Master An already poisoned the well.
467
01:10:59,923 --> 01:11:01,882
- We'll meet at the usual place.
- Yes, sir!
468
01:11:02,050 --> 01:11:04,760
- What do we do then?
- Yeah.
469
01:11:06,721 --> 01:11:09,014
We've got two roads left.
470
01:11:09,849 --> 01:11:11,558
One to the north, one to the east.
471
01:11:11,893 --> 01:11:15,437
At 18-Mile Fortress
imperial couriers will be waiting for us.
472
01:11:15,605 --> 01:11:20,609
But the Turks and the bandits
might have killed us all already.
473
01:11:20,777 --> 01:11:25,489
The relics will fall into their hands.
East of the desert lies an isolated fort.
474
01:11:25,657 --> 01:11:30,369
- It's 10 days' travel from here.
- But without water we'll never make it.
475
01:11:37,835 --> 01:11:40,337
There's an underground river
in the desert.
476
01:11:41,005 --> 01:11:43,966
- I stumbled on it 11 years ago.
- That's crap!
477
01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:47,094
- Now isn't the time to tell stories!
- Really! I've seen it!
478
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:49,221
It saved our lives.
479
01:11:51,057 --> 01:11:53,684
I don't think he's kidding.
480
01:12:00,274 --> 01:12:05,362
- 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
01:12:14,914 --> 01:12:17,499
If you trust me...
483
01:12:18,084 --> 01:12:21,044
- ... I'm willing to bet my life on it.
- You're on!
484
01:12:23,506 --> 01:12:26,842
Sir Lai Xi, if we don't find the river...
485
01:12:27,010 --> 01:12:29,845
... not everyone's going to make it.
486
01:12:31,597 --> 01:12:35,392
I won't let you die
before we reach the capital.
487
01:12:38,104 --> 01:12:41,148
In the desert,
it's beyond your control.
488
01:12:41,315 --> 01:12:42,607
Not necessarily.
489
01:12:53,953 --> 01:12:59,708
Little monk, if we don't make it out
of here, this Buddhist treasure....
490
01:13:02,170 --> 01:13:04,379
My mind's eye has seen the capital.
491
01:13:04,881 --> 01:13:06,423
I've seen the temples there.
492
01:13:06,591 --> 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 --> 01:13:17,893
- Do you all understand?
- Yes.
495
01:13:30,865 --> 01:13:33,450
Sir, they're on the way
to Bitter Well.
496
01:13:33,618 --> 01:13:37,287
- How long will it take?
- About two hours.
497
01:13:37,663 --> 01:13:39,706
Brothers, let's go.
498
01:14:12,031 --> 01:14:14,950
- Are you really a criminal?
- What?
499
01:14:17,537 --> 01:14:19,371
What do you think?
500
01:14:22,333 --> 01:14:24,668
What was your crime?
501
01:14:28,297 --> 01:14:30,090
Did you kill someone?
502
01:14:31,050 --> 01:14:35,053
Sometimes killing isn't a crime
and not killing is.
503
01:14:37,348 --> 01:14:42,018
But the court executes murderers.
504
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:14,718
Don't unload the camels.
We'll be heading south shortly.
505
01:15:16,345 --> 01:15:19,264
- Ma Gun, light a fire.
- Understood.
506
01:15:19,432 --> 01:15:20,765
Have you met him before?
507
01:15:28,691 --> 01:15:30,025
Are you going to kill him?
508
01:15:34,322 --> 01:15:36,072
It's my duty.
509
01:15:47,919 --> 01:15:49,753
So not killing can be a crime too.
510
01:15:58,054 --> 01:16:02,474
Rest up.
We've a long journey ahead.
511
01:16:20,993 --> 01:16:24,496
Here. Have some water.
512
01:16:30,461 --> 01:16:31,836
Here.
513
01:16:35,383 --> 01:16:38,260
We get 10 mouthfuls a day.
514
01:16:38,719 --> 01:16:40,887
He's already had his ration.
515
01:16:45,851 --> 01:16:47,227
Let the bastard be thirsty!
516
01:16:54,694 --> 01:16:56,778
We can't be far from the old river.
517
01:16:57,238 --> 01:16:58,697
It's up ahead.
518
01:17:03,828 --> 01:17:05,245
Go with him.
519
01:17:05,997 --> 01:17:07,706
Ma Gun.
520
01:17:16,966 --> 01:17:19,968
Sir, have a sip.
521
01:17:26,267 --> 01:17:27,642
Save it.
522
01:18:18,361 --> 01:18:21,363
Sir, look! Someone's coming.
523
01:18:27,286 --> 01:18:28,787
I don't have to look.
524
01:18:29,288 --> 01:18:31,456
It's Zimo.
525
01:18:43,427 --> 01:18:47,889
The riverbed should be here.
526
01:18:49,141 --> 01:18:54,771
I remember there was
a small hill nearby...
527
01:18:55,940 --> 01:18:58,358
... not this old tree.
528
01:19:09,703 --> 01:19:13,039
Where did the damn river go?
529
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:29,055
They couldn't have gone far.
530
01:19:33,102 --> 01:19:37,272
- 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 --> 01:19:44,696
You said I could!
533
01:19:45,614 --> 01:19:49,576
- I don't remember.
- You're denying it, you bastard?
534
01:19:50,119 --> 01:19:53,830
- What? You're busting my balls?
- I'll kill you!
535
01:19:54,373 --> 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
01:20:01,088 --> 01:20:04,132
- Relax! Let's see your sword!
- Go ahead!
538
01:20:04,300 --> 01:20:08,470
- There will be blood instead of water!
- Get up!
539
01:20:08,679 --> 01:20:10,054
Give me a real fight!
540
01:20:12,641 --> 01:20:15,310
- Brother.
- Get up!
541
01:20:15,478 --> 01:20:18,730
He'd kill a brother
for two sips of water?
542
01:20:36,457 --> 01:20:40,251
- How much is left?
- We can stretch it out one more day.
543
01:20:40,503 --> 01:20:45,048
If they're not back tomorrow,
we'll kill a camel.
544
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,927
Their blood's too thick.
545
01:20:49,094 --> 01:20:51,262
We can't live on that.
546
01:20:51,889 --> 01:20:54,349
If they can't find the river...
547
01:20:54,517 --> 01:20:59,604
...we'll have to let the monk,
Wen Zhu and Ma Gun leave first.
548
01:20:59,772 --> 01:21:02,065
Save some water for them.
549
01:21:05,069 --> 01:21:06,819
Understood.
550
01:21:07,154 --> 01:21:11,824
Ma Gun's kid ought to be allowed
the chance to get to know his dad.
551
01:21:18,374 --> 01:21:21,292
They have followed us for two days.
552
01:21:21,460 --> 01:21:23,294
Well, you're clever.
553
01:21:24,171 --> 01:21:28,508
I smell the scent
of their tobacco in the air.
554
01:21:39,645 --> 01:21:44,315
Sir, look. There's smoke.
555
01:21:45,234 --> 01:21:47,986
There's a campfire up ahead.
556
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:54,993
Eighty miles, as the wind blows.
557
01:21:55,327 --> 01:21:56,995
Call up the men.
558
01:22:07,464 --> 01:22:11,259
I've been trying
to place your accent.
559
01:22:11,427 --> 01:22:14,012
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
01:22:22,396 --> 01:22:27,150
We drew our swords at the same
moment. He was a good swordsman.
562
01:22:30,904 --> 01:22:33,406
Then how did you defeat him?
563
01:22:33,574 --> 01:22:35,658
I used a short sword.
564
01:22:36,035 --> 01:22:40,872
Speed and efficiency over length.
565
01:22:41,498 --> 01:22:44,459
You can draw a short sword faster.
566
01:22:45,169 --> 01:22:47,003
True.
567
01:22:47,838 --> 01:22:50,632
My teacher maintained...
568
01:22:50,799 --> 01:22:54,260
...that it's handy for both
offense and defense.
569
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:01,684
Sir.
570
01:23:08,567 --> 01:23:10,443
The others are back.
571
01:23:26,460 --> 01:23:28,252
Old Diehard.
572
01:23:29,797 --> 01:23:33,966
- Sit down.
- Try and hold on.
573
01:23:34,468 --> 01:23:37,595
- Did you find the river?
- Old Diehard.
574
01:23:51,276 --> 01:23:53,945
Brothers, we've got work to do.
575
01:24:01,203 --> 01:24:02,704
Hurry!
576
01:25:45,891 --> 01:25:47,725
Sir, watch your back!
577
01:25:52,064 --> 01:25:53,606
Take this!
578
01:26:08,747 --> 01:26:09,997
I owe you.
579
01:26:11,625 --> 01:26:14,961
- 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
01:26:39,778 --> 01:26:41,904
- Everyone here?
- Yes!
582
01:26:42,114 --> 01:26:44,073
- Wen Zhu?
- I'm here!
583
01:26:48,579 --> 01:26:50,037
They got me.
584
01:26:53,959 --> 01:26:56,294
Damn! Pull it out!
585
01:26:56,753 --> 01:26:59,297
- Bite on this.
- Hold on!
586
01:27:02,134 --> 01:27:03,968
It's not going to be easy.
587
01:27:10,225 --> 01:27:12,310
Damn!
588
01:27:23,780 --> 01:27:27,408
Brothers, move the bodies away.
589
01:27:45,719 --> 01:27:48,137
A few more hours in the sun...
590
01:27:49,348 --> 01:27:51,682
...they won't be able
to lift their swords.
591
01:28:43,777 --> 01:28:46,654
She's burning up.
592
01:28:49,074 --> 01:28:51,742
We need water badly.
593
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:16,976
Ma Gun, get back here!
594
01:29:18,145 --> 01:29:19,937
Get back!
595
01:29:44,629 --> 01:29:49,842
Let us handle this.
It's not your turn yet.
596
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:19,765
Good man.
597
01:31:37,242 --> 01:31:39,034
Don't go!
598
01:31:41,580 --> 01:31:43,497
Damn!
599
01:33:58,383 --> 01:33:59,800
He's dead!
600
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:31,415
Old Diehard was right.
601
01:34:31,583 --> 01:34:36,170
In death, he showed us the river.
602
01:34:44,179 --> 01:34:46,305
The will of the gods.
603
01:34:49,392 --> 01:34:52,061
It is the will of the gods.
604
01:34:52,228 --> 01:34:54,897
Brothers!
605
01:34:55,857 --> 01:34:59,026
Drive out the bandits!
606
01:34:59,194 --> 01:35:01,945
In the face of this miracle...
607
01:35:02,113 --> 01:35:05,407
... Master An and his men retreated.
608
01:35:05,617 --> 01:35:10,871
Perhaps they thought heaven
was on our side.
609
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:27,012
They gave up their chase and
we soon reached Lonesome Fortress.
610
01:35:27,222 --> 01:35:30,140
But we found little relief there.
611
01:35:30,308 --> 01:35:32,726
It was a ghost town...
612
01:35:32,894 --> 01:35:36,688
...just a handful of soldiers
guarding the armory.
613
01:35:36,856 --> 01:35:42,528
Bandits and Turks
were still a constant threat.
614
01:35:42,695 --> 01:35:44,780
Although everyone was exhausted...
615
01:35:44,948 --> 01:35:49,076
...Lieutenant Li didn't allow
us a moment's rest.
616
01:36:00,255 --> 01:36:03,173
- Rockets!
- Hurry! Get them out!
617
01:36:18,731 --> 01:36:20,441
Get the battle-axes!
618
01:36:40,462 --> 01:36:42,629
Can I help?
619
01:36:44,924 --> 01:36:48,218
Little monk, ask Buddha to protect us.
620
01:36:48,386 --> 01:36:50,429
Say your prayers.
621
01:36:52,974 --> 01:36:55,976
Wen Zhu, the battle will be fierce.
622
01:36:56,436 --> 01:36:59,521
I might not be able to look after you.
Please take care.
623
01:36:59,689 --> 01:37:01,231
I'm a general's daughter.
624
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:04,485
I'm not afraid.
625
01:37:04,652 --> 01:37:08,071
Her father died at the battle
of Frontier Pass.
626
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:13,744
We'll leave here alive, won't we?
627
01:37:24,339 --> 01:37:25,714
Be careful.
628
01:37:52,325 --> 01:37:54,034
If the Turks attack...
629
01:37:54,953 --> 01:37:56,745
... put this on.
630
01:37:57,372 --> 01:37:58,789
Wait.
631
01:38:05,672 --> 01:38:07,464
I know you're a good man.
632
01:38:17,267 --> 01:38:21,728
I still don't know where you're from.
633
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:27,943
When you asked before,
I didn't want to tell you.
634
01:38:34,242 --> 01:38:38,662
I'm not actually of the Tang.
635
01:38:38,830 --> 01:38:41,540
I'm Japanese.
636
01:38:41,916 --> 01:38:44,001
Japanese?
637
01:38:46,588 --> 01:38:48,964
Where's Japan?
638
01:38:49,215 --> 01:38:51,258
To the east.
639
01:38:51,426 --> 01:38:55,679
Many days by boat
across the Eastern Sea.
640
01:38:55,847 --> 01:38:58,849
It's a group of islands.
641
01:39:01,686 --> 01:39:05,606
You came from there
to hunt me down?
642
01:39:06,524 --> 01:39:09,026
No, I was assigned
to the Tang court.
643
01:39:09,193 --> 01:39:11,862
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 13 when I arrived.
646
01:39:23,041 --> 01:39:25,876
I studied sword and short blade.
647
01:39:26,044 --> 01:39:31,048
Later I studied land, cavalry
and maritime warfare.
648
01:39:32,634 --> 01:39:34,593
Thirteen?
649
01:39:36,137 --> 01:39:38,764
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 --> 01:39:52,611
I want to go home.
652
01:39:55,156 --> 01:39:59,076
Then you must. It's about time.
653
01:40:01,037 --> 01:40:05,540
I can go once I've killed you.
654
01:40:12,090 --> 01:40:13,423
The Turks are coming!
655
01:40:38,116 --> 01:40:40,409
- Ready to go!
- The fort's still ours! Go!
656
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:35,464
Let the oil barrels go!
657
01:41:37,842 --> 01:41:39,426
Torches!
658
01:42:38,903 --> 01:42:40,570
Wen Zhu, the catapults!
659
01:43:11,477 --> 01:43:14,729
Wen Zhu, ignite the rockets!
660
01:43:38,087 --> 01:43:39,629
Secure the gate!
661
01:43:43,885 --> 01:43:45,343
Get back!
662
01:43:45,511 --> 01:43:47,345
Hurry! Everyone inside! Quick!
663
01:44:18,294 --> 01:44:20,045
Ma Gun, you first!
664
01:44:23,925 --> 01:44:25,425
Hurry!
665
01:44:28,054 --> 01:44:29,679
You go first!
666
01:44:43,152 --> 01:44:44,694
Go!
667
01:45:29,699 --> 01:45:31,116
Hurry!
668
01:45:34,912 --> 01:45:36,371
Zimo, come on!
669
01:45:36,539 --> 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 --> 01:47:31,319
The will of the gods.
672
01:47:33,614 --> 01:47:36,282
It is the will of the gods.
673
01:47:38,119 --> 01:47:40,703
You're no longer needed here,
Master An.
674
01:47:40,871 --> 01:47:42,330
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 --> 01:48:11,860
I'm going to kill him!
678
01:48:12,903 --> 01:48:15,363
That's your business.
679
01:48:16,073 --> 01:48:17,490
Nothing to do with us.
680
01:48:37,928 --> 01:48:49,814
Raise the camels!
681
01:51:04,283 --> 01:51:05,992
No!
682
01:52:16,397 --> 01:52:18,356
Mother...
683
01:52:18,524 --> 01:52:20,650
... I'm coming home.
684
01:53:16,457 --> 01:53:18,499
You....
685
01:54:21,480 --> 01:54:23,022
Where are you going?
686
01:54:27,444 --> 01:54:28,945
Back to the west.
687
01:54:33,492 --> 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
01:55:15,784 --> 01:55:18,911
...the Tang Dynasty enjoyed an era of
unparalleled peace and prosperity...
691
01:55:19,079 --> 01:55:22,039
...which would become known as
The Golden Age in the history of China.
