1
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,711
The universe is so large,
2
00:01:25,754 --> 00:01:26,963
humans so small.
3
00:01:29,841 --> 00:01:31,927
How should a man live his life?
4
00:03:09,608 --> 00:03:13,987
China, the Middle Kingdom,
my home country
5
00:03:14,154 --> 00:03:17,198
where my dreams drift
between aches and tenderness.
6
00:03:17,616 --> 00:03:20,118
My dear children,
7
00:03:20,285 --> 00:03:24,080
time has blurred my memories,
8
00:03:24,664 --> 00:03:29,252
but the scents, colors, sounds
linger...
9
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:32,839
Ah... and my third older brother...
10
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,303
In our ancestral hometown,
11
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:41,306
our family owned a bank.
We were in business
12
00:03:42,057 --> 00:03:43,975
for over a hundred years.
13
00:03:49,940 --> 00:03:52,567
The transfer fee is 75 taels.
14
00:03:52,859 --> 00:03:54,986
This is your check for 5,000 taels
15
00:03:55,153 --> 00:03:58,490
to be cashed in Japan
with three days' clearance.
16
00:03:58,657 --> 00:04:00,158
Please keep it safe.
17
00:04:03,745 --> 00:04:06,748
A good merchant is righteous.
18
00:04:06,915 --> 00:04:10,835
Your great-grandfather Lord Kang
was a member
19
00:04:11,002 --> 00:04:13,964
of a powerful guild of bankers.
20
00:04:15,131 --> 00:04:16,841
He had four sons.
21
00:04:17,342 --> 00:04:19,719
All of them were
much older than me.
22
00:04:20,553 --> 00:04:23,473
His third son was his least favorite.
23
00:04:27,435 --> 00:04:28,853
Third Master!
24
00:05:03,138 --> 00:05:06,641
Outside of our family estate
was the other China.
25
00:05:12,647 --> 00:05:14,274
Thank you!
26
00:05:14,441 --> 00:05:16,901
First Master can't hear you.
Move on!
27
00:05:17,944 --> 00:05:20,363
Dusty, poor...
28
00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:22,365
It was a time when...
29
00:05:22,741 --> 00:05:26,911
the hardships of life
stole people's dignity.
30
00:05:27,328 --> 00:05:28,455
Big Brother.
31
00:05:29,789 --> 00:05:30,789
Second Master.
32
00:05:31,249 --> 00:05:32,876
Death to the Kangs!
33
00:05:33,334 --> 00:05:34,711
Let's go.
34
00:05:36,129 --> 00:05:38,089
Second Master, they're here again!
35
00:05:38,256 --> 00:05:39,591
Silver!
36
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,053
Death to the Kangs!
What use is porridge?
37
00:05:43,636 --> 00:05:44,846
Here are your coffins!
38
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:46,806
Help, First Master.
39
00:05:48,224 --> 00:05:49,224
Silver!
40
00:05:50,351 --> 00:05:51,351
Death to the Kang!
41
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:18,546
Lord Kang's eldest two sons
42
00:06:18,713 --> 00:06:20,590
had different approaches
43
00:06:20,757 --> 00:06:22,217
to this world.
44
00:06:22,717 --> 00:06:27,472
First Master, a Buddhist born
deaf-mute, was a man of charity.
45
00:06:28,348 --> 00:06:30,892
Second Master, a man of action,
46
00:06:31,059 --> 00:06:33,728
settled things with his fists and feet.
47
00:06:43,988 --> 00:06:47,408
Lord Kang's fourth son
48
00:06:48,118 --> 00:06:51,412
found in his arranged marriage
49
00:06:51,579 --> 00:06:55,375
a bride he instantly fell in love with.
50
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:57,836
They honeymooned
51
00:06:58,002 --> 00:07:01,422
in the seaport city of Tianjin.
52
00:07:03,842 --> 00:07:05,426
Their trip brought
53
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:08,179
unforeseen changes to our family.
54
00:07:10,515 --> 00:07:11,850
Tianjin,
55
00:07:12,016 --> 00:07:13,977
1899
56
00:07:14,686 --> 00:07:19,315
Boxer Rebels were gathering strength
for their war against Western churches.
57
00:07:36,541 --> 00:07:38,710
I will never do it again...
58
00:07:39,711 --> 00:07:43,423
That day,
an ordinary day before the New Year
59
00:07:44,382 --> 00:07:46,718
Master Kang punished
60
00:07:46,885 --> 00:07:49,762
his most valuable manager,
Manager Qiu,
61
00:07:49,929 --> 00:07:52,807
in front of his colleagues in the
Guild.
62
00:07:59,189 --> 00:08:01,649
This Qiu bastard.
Now we're loan sharks.
63
00:08:01,816 --> 00:08:04,068
Manager Qiu
has certainly disgraced us.
64
00:08:04,235 --> 00:08:06,029
Loan sharks!
65
00:08:06,196 --> 00:08:08,239
Maybe our guidelines were unclear.
66
00:08:08,406 --> 00:08:11,743
He is my bank's failure,
nothing to do with the Guild.
67
00:08:16,164 --> 00:08:18,917
Manager Qiu, you
stepped over the line,
68
00:08:19,083 --> 00:08:21,836
breaching our principle
of righteousness.
69
00:08:22,003 --> 00:08:25,089
You have no place in banking.
You are dismissed.
70
00:08:27,967 --> 00:08:30,678
Go back to farming,
learn to behave honorably.
71
00:08:31,221 --> 00:08:32,263
I'm finished...
72
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:34,933
Gentlemen, my manager
misbehaved.
73
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:37,977
As penalty,
I'll pay for 3 days of theater.
74
00:08:38,144 --> 00:08:40,563
You'll receive the invitations soon.
75
00:08:41,314 --> 00:08:44,692
We have always supported each
other
76
00:08:44,859 --> 00:08:46,527
to ensure our reputation.
77
00:08:47,487 --> 00:08:49,656
Our muddled guidelines ruined a
man.
78
00:08:49,822 --> 00:08:50,949
Muddled guidelines...
79
00:08:51,115 --> 00:08:55,411
We should all line up, pull down
our pants and have our asses whipped!
80
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:56,996
You first!
81
00:08:59,791 --> 00:09:00,791
You first!
82
00:09:27,318 --> 00:09:29,404
Third Master, we arrived.
83
00:09:32,824 --> 00:09:35,535
It's New Year's time,
please spare some food...
84
00:09:36,369 --> 00:09:37,495
Get lost!
85
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:46,004
Are you gone?
86
00:09:55,471 --> 00:09:57,974
There is too much sadness in this
world,
87
00:09:58,850 --> 00:10:01,060
don't stay here to humiliate yourself.
88
00:10:01,227 --> 00:10:02,227
Thanks, Master.
89
00:10:19,662 --> 00:10:20,830
That day,
90
00:10:20,955 --> 00:10:24,125
our bank was to announce the
bonuses.
91
00:10:24,375 --> 00:10:26,878
All the branch managers
returned from their posts.
92
00:10:28,212 --> 00:10:30,256
"Humility and reposefulness."
93
00:10:30,423 --> 00:10:33,092
He headed the Beijing branch.
94
00:10:33,259 --> 00:10:34,259
Manager Dai!
95
00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:36,636
Third Master!
96
00:10:37,013 --> 00:10:40,850
Easier said than done.
We ought to know better.
97
00:10:41,225 --> 00:10:43,811
I'm always away,
no chance to supervise him.
98
00:10:48,274 --> 00:10:49,400
What's that smell?
99
00:10:49,776 --> 00:10:52,528
This is called "King of Fruits".
100
00:10:53,237 --> 00:10:56,157
South East Asians pawn their pants
to eat this!
101
00:10:57,909 --> 00:11:02,038
I took the boat, rode a donkey
to bring it here. Pick it up!
102
00:11:47,792 --> 00:11:51,087
In memory of our ancestors,
in honor of Heaven and Earth,
103
00:11:52,046 --> 00:11:56,092
to honesty, good faith,
and righteousness under the heavens.
104
00:12:06,561 --> 00:12:11,983
The grand total of fund transfers,
savings and loans
105
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:17,363
is 26,153,111 taels,
106
00:12:17,530 --> 00:12:19,157
verified without error.
107
00:12:19,365 --> 00:12:21,075
Our turnover amounts
108
00:12:21,242 --> 00:12:24,954
to one-tenth
of the Court's annual income.
109
00:12:25,538 --> 00:12:29,000
It is accomplished by you
and all the managers.
110
00:12:29,167 --> 00:12:31,627
Please accept my family's gratitude.
111
00:12:35,715 --> 00:12:39,469
My fourth son took his bride
to the seashore in Tianjin.
112
00:12:39,635 --> 00:12:42,180
The lovebirds
are getting on extremely well!
113
00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:47,268
- Manager Liu, did he trouble you?
- Not at all.
114
00:12:48,352 --> 00:12:49,604
Where's Third?
115
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,064
Never mind.
116
00:12:53,566 --> 00:12:55,109
Owner holding:
117
00:12:55,276 --> 00:12:56,944
21 shares.
118
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,280
Staff holding:
119
00:13:00,323 --> 00:13:01,616
17 shares.
120
00:13:01,991 --> 00:13:04,285
Each share averages
121
00:13:04,494 --> 00:13:07,872
15,816.5 taels.
122
00:13:14,754 --> 00:13:16,797
The highest bonus goes to...
123
00:13:17,381 --> 00:13:19,967
main branch, Manager Qiu.
124
00:13:20,635 --> 00:13:22,512
Although he is dismissed,
125
00:13:22,678 --> 00:13:25,890
his bonus of this term
is awarded in full.
126
00:13:26,307 --> 00:13:29,435
Second goes to
Beijing Manager Dai Ying.
127
00:13:31,395 --> 00:13:33,231
Drinks on me tonight!
128
00:13:33,397 --> 00:13:35,650
No one goes home sober!
129
00:13:36,776 --> 00:13:39,070
Tianjin Manager Liu...
130
00:13:39,237 --> 00:13:41,489
I get 0.7 shares.
131
00:13:41,656 --> 00:13:43,574
You do the math!
132
00:13:44,075 --> 00:13:45,660
Party at his place,
133
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:48,996
but the drinks are on me!
134
00:13:50,164 --> 00:13:52,500
Bring in all our managers' sons!
135
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:02,343
Ready!
136
00:14:30,246 --> 00:14:31,246
Third Master.
137
00:14:33,165 --> 00:14:34,166
Mother.
138
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,920
Mrs. Landdeck,
the Congregation Church.
139
00:14:39,171 --> 00:14:40,298
Mrs. Landdeck.
140
00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:45,469
Third Master Kang.
141
00:14:50,850 --> 00:14:51,934
Third Master...
142
00:15:02,361 --> 00:15:05,239
Madame Kang was a mystery.
143
00:15:08,993 --> 00:15:11,662
My family members
never mentioned her.
144
00:15:11,871 --> 00:15:15,249
When servants talked about her
they whispered.
145
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:16,792
But she played a key role
146
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:17,959
in our family history.
147
00:15:21,005 --> 00:15:23,049
Tell me about the porridge.
148
00:15:29,555 --> 00:15:32,975
Lord Kang's ancester
was a poor camel boy
149
00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:36,228
whose master abandoned him
in the Gobi Desert.
150
00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:40,107
The boy saved the life of a stranger.
151
00:15:40,650 --> 00:15:44,070
He gave a starving man
his last bowl of porridge.
152
00:15:45,112 --> 00:15:48,074
The stranger left quietly in the night,
153
00:15:48,199 --> 00:15:50,868
giving him 30 pieces of silver,
154
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:53,287
which the family considered a loan.
155
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:57,500
That loan is worth millions today.
156
00:15:58,626 --> 00:16:00,878
Did your husband tell you this story?
157
00:16:07,009 --> 00:16:10,346
A boy told it to me when I was young.
158
00:16:13,683 --> 00:16:16,060
I drew this little book ten years ago.
159
00:16:16,394 --> 00:16:17,978
I was eight.
160
00:16:18,354 --> 00:16:20,356
I loved the story.
161
00:16:21,232 --> 00:16:22,608
Do you like it?
162
00:17:23,085 --> 00:17:24,462
Tianjin
163
00:17:39,769 --> 00:17:40,769
Move!
164
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,063
Follow them! Follow them!
165
00:17:50,362 --> 00:17:51,405
Turn!
166
00:17:52,823 --> 00:17:53,823
Change!
167
00:17:56,452 --> 00:17:57,661
Hurry up!
168
00:17:58,204 --> 00:17:59,371
Catch up!
169
00:18:00,623 --> 00:18:02,082
Walk into the crowd!
170
00:18:15,846 --> 00:18:18,015
Sweetheart, did you see what I
saw...
171
00:18:18,182 --> 00:18:20,309
Who stopped my palanquin?
Go!
172
00:18:24,605 --> 00:18:26,232
Where's my wife?
173
00:18:29,819 --> 00:18:31,904
Where's Fourth Mistress?
174
00:18:35,157 --> 00:18:36,367
Urgent telegram!
175
00:18:36,951 --> 00:18:37,951
Urgent telegram!
176
00:18:42,873 --> 00:18:45,876
Last month
we lent the army 50,000 taels.
177
00:18:46,377 --> 00:18:48,295
They'll help find Fourth Mistress.
178
00:18:48,754 --> 00:18:53,926
The gangs, the churches, the
Boxers... We didn't offend any of them.
179
00:18:55,427 --> 00:18:59,098
Manager Liu, then it's a family
matter, I won't bother you.
180
00:18:59,265 --> 00:19:02,059
I'm fully responsible.
I'll go back to find her.
181
00:19:02,226 --> 00:19:03,936
I'll go with Manager Liu.
182
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:06,689
Beg bodyguard companies for help.
183
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,191
This is a kidnap.
184
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:12,069
Keep it quiet,
don't affect our bank.
185
00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:17,700
Third, we'll go help.
186
00:19:29,545 --> 00:19:30,545
Second!
187
00:19:33,632 --> 00:19:35,384
I'll arrange for bodyguards.
188
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:39,597
You cannot go!
189
00:19:40,806 --> 00:19:42,641
Our own blood,
rescued by others?
190
00:19:42,975 --> 00:19:44,810
Blood ties overtake judgment.
191
00:19:44,977 --> 00:19:46,562
Let the handlers do it.
192
00:19:47,479 --> 00:19:49,106
We don't risk our own blood.
193
00:19:53,193 --> 00:19:56,822
Deaf-mute, go to your room.
Useless man!
194
00:19:57,156 --> 00:19:59,575
Third, we leave for Tianjin now.
195
00:19:59,742 --> 00:20:01,368
We're all useless...
196
00:20:01,911 --> 00:20:05,080
Our ancestors won wars for us,
handlers take care of the rest.
197
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:08,292
Our job is to learn how to live.
198
00:20:08,459 --> 00:20:09,919
Let's go have a drink.
199
00:20:18,135 --> 00:20:21,305
She is family.
You spineless good-for-nothing!
200
00:21:20,239 --> 00:21:23,033
This isn't right.
You've led me the wrong way.
201
00:21:26,203 --> 00:21:29,581
We ought to be going South
but we're heading West.
202
00:21:30,624 --> 00:21:31,875
You've set me up!
203
00:21:32,042 --> 00:21:35,045
Second Master, please!
Old Master wants to stop you...
204
00:21:37,214 --> 00:21:38,507
Go!
205
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:49,767
Second Master!
206
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:05,367
- Are you all right?
- Don't touch him!
207
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:14,500
Old Master.
208
00:22:24,636 --> 00:22:27,222
Father, I really...
209
00:22:27,848 --> 00:22:31,018
Second... No need to say anything.
210
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:32,978
Go rescue Fourth's wife.
211
00:22:33,145 --> 00:22:35,856
You can't move, so don't try to.
212
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:37,566
Tianjin Branch Help me!
213
00:22:37,733 --> 00:22:39,234
Fourth Master, it's me, Dai!
214
00:22:42,696 --> 00:22:43,781
There's a letter!
215
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:45,519
A letter!
216
00:22:48,564 --> 00:22:49,815
Get out!
217
00:23:00,327 --> 00:23:02,537
"Considering our past relationship,
218
00:23:02,593 --> 00:23:05,930
"please go to the riverbank
to receive Fourth Mistress Kang."
219
00:23:08,099 --> 00:23:09,600
"Past relationship"?
220
00:23:11,852 --> 00:23:14,605
Go there with bodyguards.
221
00:23:14,772 --> 00:23:15,940
I'll stay here...
222
00:23:17,525 --> 00:23:18,984
Just in case.
223
00:23:27,368 --> 00:23:30,496
A prostitute in love
with a bank manager.
224
00:23:30,663 --> 00:23:32,873
What could I have wished for?
225
00:23:36,210 --> 00:23:39,797
They said eating opium
is the most painful way to die.
226
00:23:41,715 --> 00:23:43,634
Do you think this punishment
227
00:23:44,552 --> 00:23:46,679
is harsh enough for you, dear?
228
00:23:48,722 --> 00:23:52,101
What will your bank do to you
229
00:23:52,601 --> 00:23:54,353
when they find out about us?
230
00:24:08,659 --> 00:24:09,994
You came after all.
231
00:24:11,036 --> 00:24:12,036
You did it.
232
00:24:17,001 --> 00:24:18,043
I did it.
233
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,882
I knew you'd come back
after you read my letter.
234
00:24:23,048 --> 00:24:26,886
Now that I've seen you again,
I'll die in peace.
235
00:24:27,761 --> 00:24:30,598
Whore! You want to destroy me!
236
00:24:33,142 --> 00:24:34,935
We found something!
Over here!
237
00:24:37,188 --> 00:24:39,106
You shouldn't have left me,
238
00:24:39,273 --> 00:24:41,775
however harshly
the bank would punish you.
239
00:24:42,234 --> 00:24:45,362
Didn't you say:
"If we die, we die together"?
240
00:24:46,071 --> 00:24:49,116
I took Fourth Mistress hostage
241
00:24:49,283 --> 00:24:51,202
to force you to come back.
242
00:24:52,161 --> 00:24:54,538
But the low-lifes I hired raped her,
243
00:24:54,705 --> 00:24:55,873
she killed herself.
244
00:24:57,791 --> 00:25:00,085
Fourth Mistress is dead. I'm sorry.
245
00:25:02,963 --> 00:25:03,963
You destroyed me...
246
00:25:06,467 --> 00:25:08,219
and I destroyed you.
247
00:25:17,811 --> 00:25:19,521
You hate me now.
248
00:25:19,688 --> 00:25:21,232
Stab me.
249
00:25:24,151 --> 00:25:25,819
I'll kill you!
250
00:25:27,488 --> 00:25:28,572
I will kill you!
251
00:25:31,075 --> 00:25:33,410
Branch managers
cannot bring their families,
252
00:25:33,577 --> 00:25:35,704
cannot go to brothels
or keep mistresses!
253
00:25:36,830 --> 00:25:41,126
These are the iron rules of the
Guild!
254
00:25:42,002 --> 00:25:44,713
Your people have some nerve!
255
00:25:45,547 --> 00:25:47,549
50 Liu killed his woman?
256
00:25:47,716 --> 00:25:50,511
So he hung himself?
257
00:25:51,095 --> 00:25:53,514
He has already rocked my family
to the core.
258
00:25:53,681 --> 00:25:55,099
Now he tells the world
259
00:25:55,266 --> 00:25:58,602
that my foundation is rotten.
260
00:25:59,228 --> 00:26:00,396
Fourth Master...
261
00:26:01,730 --> 00:26:03,148
What about Fourth?
262
00:26:03,315 --> 00:26:06,652
Fourth Master...
has had a mental breakdown.
263
00:26:12,616 --> 00:26:15,160
Fourth...
264
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,334
From now on,
265
00:26:24,253 --> 00:26:26,964
I handle discipline and personnel.
266
00:26:28,007 --> 00:26:29,800
You take care of operations.
267
00:26:30,718 --> 00:26:34,596
Chairmen have to stay out of
management, now I broke that rule.
268
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:37,390
Yes.
269
00:26:39,893 --> 00:26:43,314
I thought four sons would be
enough.
270
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:46,025
Third!
271
00:26:48,068 --> 00:26:50,362
You're the only
able-bodied man left.
272
00:26:51,697 --> 00:26:54,533
Go to Tianjin
to bring your brother back.
273
00:26:59,997 --> 00:27:01,498
Don't push!
274
00:27:01,915 --> 00:27:02,708
Stand back!
275
00:27:02,875 --> 00:27:05,669
You'll get your money!
There's plenty of silver.
276
00:27:07,379 --> 00:27:09,757
Other banks have offered
to bail us out.
277
00:27:09,923 --> 00:27:14,511
If other banks help stop a run
on our bank, our name will be ruined.
278
00:27:15,512 --> 00:27:17,139
I've written to my staff.
279
00:27:17,306 --> 00:27:19,391
Maybe my Beijing branch can help.
280
00:27:20,934 --> 00:27:24,438
Go see if there's a telegram
from Beijing.
281
00:27:28,275 --> 00:27:29,777
I'm your brother!
282
00:27:30,361 --> 00:27:33,655
Fourth!
I'm your brother.
283
00:27:34,031 --> 00:27:35,491
Look at me!
284
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:38,285
I'm your brother.
285
00:27:48,128 --> 00:27:51,048
I know you mourn for her.
286
00:27:51,715 --> 00:27:53,258
We want our silver!
287
00:27:55,177 --> 00:27:56,929
Give us a bit more time.
288
00:28:01,892 --> 00:28:03,560
Don't let them see us.
289
00:28:03,727 --> 00:28:04,812
Quick!
290
00:28:12,277 --> 00:28:13,821
You mentioned a package?
291
00:28:15,114 --> 00:28:17,157
If Third Master could possibly...
292
00:28:23,247 --> 00:28:26,458
Manager Liu made a mistake,
but his family is innocent.
293
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:28,530
He had a mother, a wife
294
00:28:28,697 --> 00:28:29,823
and a son.
295
00:28:32,117 --> 00:28:34,953
If our rules didn't force change
on human nature,
296
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,707
only allowing managers to see
their wives every three years...
297
00:28:39,124 --> 00:28:42,252
How many men can stand that?
298
00:28:46,506 --> 00:28:49,301
I'll take it to his family.
299
00:28:50,886 --> 00:28:52,095
Thank you for understanding.
300
00:28:54,848 --> 00:28:57,476
Manager Dai,
I have heard of your great skills,
301
00:28:57,643 --> 00:29:02,481
but this problem came from within.
How should we resolve it?
302
00:29:03,690 --> 00:29:05,525
Crises test our guts and smarts.
303
00:29:08,111 --> 00:29:09,111
All right.
304
00:29:10,322 --> 00:29:13,408
Your burden is great.
305
00:29:15,410 --> 00:29:16,828
Please take care.
306
00:29:17,162 --> 00:29:19,248
You also. Take care.
307
00:29:34,972 --> 00:29:37,391
What have I done to deserve this?
308
00:29:55,826 --> 00:29:58,120
What are my ancestors
trying to tell me?
309
00:30:08,088 --> 00:30:11,591
Time to close the doors,
draw the curtains!
310
00:30:31,987 --> 00:30:35,699
To keep up with the times,
I hired you an English tutor.
311
00:30:35,991 --> 00:30:37,701
Ambassador Du's daughter.
312
00:30:38,535 --> 00:30:41,788
Her knowledge commands respect,
so behave yourselves.
313
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,334
No monkey business!
I'll be next door.
314
00:31:11,485 --> 00:31:12,819
Take it away.
315
00:31:15,864 --> 00:31:19,910
Master hasn't come over for months.
He must need you now,
316
00:31:20,077 --> 00:31:20,744
Madame...
317
00:31:20,911 --> 00:31:22,120
Take it away.
318
00:31:26,291 --> 00:31:27,334
Yes.
319
00:31:37,886 --> 00:31:38,970
Master...
320
00:31:43,266 --> 00:31:45,769
I carved a book seal for you.
321
00:31:59,032 --> 00:32:00,283
Put it there.
322
00:32:04,037 --> 00:32:06,957
Have you heard
about Second and Fourth?
323
00:32:08,250 --> 00:32:11,002
Suddenly we're left
with only one heir.
324
00:32:27,894 --> 00:32:29,813
It's been along time...
325
00:32:30,605 --> 00:32:32,482
Yet you're still so stubborn.
326
00:32:34,234 --> 00:32:35,819
When will you grow up?
327
00:32:40,907 --> 00:32:42,284
Bring me the scissors!
328
00:32:50,959 --> 00:32:52,252
Get out!
329
00:32:57,340 --> 00:33:00,510
Being Western-born
doesn't entitle you to this.
330
00:33:00,677 --> 00:33:03,180
You can refuse me, but not my
ancestors.
331
00:33:03,346 --> 00:33:05,307
All these years I let you be!
332
00:33:05,474 --> 00:33:08,268
Now with one heir left,
you still spit on your duty?
333
00:33:34,836 --> 00:33:36,630
I'll be coming everyday.
334
00:33:36,796 --> 00:33:39,633
I won't give up until I have a son.
335
00:33:55,148 --> 00:33:57,234
Believe me, I'm wilder than you are.
336
00:34:28,557 --> 00:34:30,642
Tell the boss the silver's here!
337
00:34:41,403 --> 00:34:44,197
Beijing Branch of Tian Cheng Yuan
Bank:
338
00:34:44,614 --> 00:34:48,118
60 cases of silver delivered!
339
00:34:59,546 --> 00:35:00,672
Manager Dai.
340
00:35:00,839 --> 00:35:02,173
- Let's go have tea.
- Our treat.
341
00:35:02,340 --> 00:35:03,842
Tianjin has been unsafe.
342
00:35:04,384 --> 00:35:07,012
We had no choice
343
00:35:07,178 --> 00:35:08,722
but to mislead our clients.
344
00:35:08,888 --> 00:35:12,017
River rocks in place of silver
helped us out this time.
345
00:35:14,436 --> 00:35:17,772
No one compares to us
when turning a crisis around.
346
00:35:18,982 --> 00:35:20,483
A crisis calls attention.
347
00:35:20,650 --> 00:35:25,322
Solving it smartly
builds our reputation.
348
00:35:26,448 --> 00:35:28,908
Now that Tianjin city knows who we
are,
349
00:35:29,075 --> 00:35:32,454
it's up to you to build upon it.
Good luck!
350
00:35:57,187 --> 00:36:00,190
You have great foresight, Sir.
351
00:36:00,357 --> 00:36:02,776
The price of salt has doubled again.
352
00:36:02,942 --> 00:36:05,820
Keep it from the Government
or we'll be in trouble.
353
00:36:05,987 --> 00:36:08,448
We'll sell when each kilo
is worth a tael.
354
00:36:08,615 --> 00:36:09,616
Yes, Sir!
355
00:36:26,758 --> 00:36:27,758
Third Master!
356
00:36:28,259 --> 00:36:30,553
Get up, Son,
we'll go visit Manager Qiu.
357
00:37:17,892 --> 00:37:20,019
Manager Qiu,
I'm here to bring you back.
358
00:37:20,478 --> 00:37:22,814
I've reconsidered.
You're lucky.
359
00:37:46,254 --> 00:37:47,839
A simple farm boy!
360
00:37:48,006 --> 00:37:50,133
I fired him in order to re-hire him
now.
361
00:37:51,509 --> 00:37:52,927
What's it about?
362
00:37:53,094 --> 00:37:55,680
I've given him a life after death.
363
00:37:56,681 --> 00:37:59,642
He'll be eternally grateful.
From now on he's ours.
364
00:37:59,851 --> 00:38:02,353
He's my choice
for our next Chief Manager.
365
00:38:02,979 --> 00:38:05,565
Use your men's strengths
and weaknesses both.
366
00:38:05,732 --> 00:38:07,650
Saints are the worst employees.
367
00:38:08,359 --> 00:38:09,736
What about Manager Dai?
368
00:38:09,903 --> 00:38:14,157
Manager Dai is a saint,
too spotless to be controlled.
369
00:38:14,741 --> 00:38:17,786
I know Manager Dai
to be wise and earnest.
370
00:38:17,952 --> 00:38:21,080
Dai surpasses you
in competence and intelligence.
371
00:38:21,706 --> 00:38:24,626
If he became Chief Manager,
you'd be his lackey.
372
00:38:26,419 --> 00:38:29,589
Rulers command by reward,
recognition and fear.
373
00:38:29,756 --> 00:38:34,594
We may reward and recognize
Dai's accomplishments,
374
00:38:35,178 --> 00:38:39,432
but we can't make him fear us
if we can't punish him for his flaws.
375
00:38:39,974 --> 00:38:42,769
Qiu pales before Dai in every way,
376
00:38:43,144 --> 00:38:45,480
which is why Qiu is our safest
choice.
377
00:38:47,565 --> 00:38:52,070
Third, I'm getting old.
It's up to you now.
378
00:38:52,987 --> 00:38:56,783
You've got the look of a warrior,
there's a leader in you yet.
379
00:38:57,242 --> 00:38:58,743
Our future rests with you.
380
00:39:00,036 --> 00:39:01,830
Be nice to your wife.
381
00:39:02,705 --> 00:39:05,333
Our bloodline
depends on the two of you.
382
00:39:06,459 --> 00:39:09,254
You must sleep in your wife's
chamber.
383
00:39:09,420 --> 00:39:12,799
Tell her we the Kangs
forbid concubines and divorces
384
00:39:12,966 --> 00:39:16,010
but she can't smoke opium.
Make her quit.
385
00:39:16,594 --> 00:39:20,849
Once she quits opium, have a baby
boy.
386
00:39:22,684 --> 00:39:23,935
All right?
387
00:39:45,567 --> 00:39:47,903
Look at the result of salt deficiency.
388
00:39:48,654 --> 00:39:50,280
We've hit it big!
389
00:39:50,614 --> 00:39:52,074
Time to sell the salt!
390
00:39:52,241 --> 00:39:54,159
1 tael of silver
for 1 kilo of salt?
391
00:39:54,576 --> 00:39:57,788
Look how sick they are.
The market could not be better.
392
00:39:58,539 --> 00:40:00,958
The time is ripe.
Sell it.
393
00:40:01,125 --> 00:40:02,125
Yes.
394
00:40:12,306 --> 00:40:14,266
Be careful so no one sees you.
395
00:40:29,156 --> 00:40:30,574
Third Master!
396
00:40:31,366 --> 00:40:33,327
I come to pay Mother a visit.
397
00:40:49,718 --> 00:40:51,386
How are you, Mother?
398
00:40:52,638 --> 00:40:53,847
I'm fine.
399
00:40:55,766 --> 00:40:56,766
Have a seat.
400
00:41:08,904 --> 00:41:10,614
I came to say goodbye.
401
00:41:11,671 --> 00:41:12,797
Where are you going?
402
00:41:12,853 --> 00:41:16,607
The Gobi Desert.
To follow in my ancestors steps.
403
00:41:17,413 --> 00:41:20,708
- Your father allows it?
- Even if he doesn't, I'm going.
404
00:41:22,501 --> 00:41:23,669
I see...
405
00:41:33,846 --> 00:41:35,348
Maybe someday
406
00:41:37,725 --> 00:41:39,685
I can persuade your father
407
00:41:40,478 --> 00:41:43,522
to let me visit your ancestral site.
408
00:41:44,565 --> 00:41:45,649
I'll visit you.
409
00:41:47,318 --> 00:41:49,028
Then I'll show you
410
00:41:49,528 --> 00:41:54,283
all the fun things
and all the best places.
411
00:41:55,201 --> 00:41:56,786
I'm good at that.
412
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,500
When do you leave?
413
00:42:04,335 --> 00:42:05,586
Tomorrow.
414
00:42:09,632 --> 00:42:11,425
When are you coming back?
415
00:42:12,426 --> 00:42:13,511
I don't know.
416
00:42:25,773 --> 00:42:26,982
I'm leaving.
417
00:42:27,608 --> 00:42:28,776
You...
418
00:42:32,696 --> 00:42:33,948
Take care of yourself.
419
00:42:39,161 --> 00:42:40,621
Take good care of yourself.
420
00:42:44,959 --> 00:42:46,127
Yes.
421
00:42:54,635 --> 00:42:56,262
You get up!
422
00:42:58,931 --> 00:43:00,391
All these years,
423
00:43:01,267 --> 00:43:03,561
it breaks my heart
to watch you self-destroy.
424
00:43:12,236 --> 00:43:14,697
Now you'll see the outside world.
425
00:43:14,864 --> 00:43:16,490
I'm happy for you.
426
00:43:31,172 --> 00:43:33,090
Mother, please stay well.
427
00:43:37,136 --> 00:43:38,136
Goodbye.
428
00:44:40,122 --> 00:44:41,749
I have something for you.
429
00:44:45,202 --> 00:44:48,247
My father bought it in Paris.
Useful in the desert.
430
00:44:53,953 --> 00:44:55,747
Your father didn't leave you much.
431
00:44:56,539 --> 00:44:57,957
Please keep it.
432
00:45:01,335 --> 00:45:03,629
You don't have anything from me.
433
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,800
I want nothing from home.
434
00:45:08,509 --> 00:45:10,219
It's from me.
435
00:45:11,846 --> 00:45:14,932
Even if I took it,
what difference would it make?
436
00:45:16,142 --> 00:45:18,186
You're no more than my stepmother.
437
00:45:28,362 --> 00:45:29,781
Let's accept our fate.
438
00:45:38,164 --> 00:45:39,749
Take care, Stepmother.
439
00:45:51,385 --> 00:45:53,137
You listen to me!
440
00:46:11,614 --> 00:46:14,407
I encouraged your
friendship with Madame Kang
441
00:46:14,408 --> 00:46:19,080
because I wanted us to move closer to
the centers of power of the town.
442
00:46:19,622 --> 00:46:21,791
That proved to be a mistake.
443
00:46:22,291 --> 00:46:28,339
Now with these Boxer rebels in sighting,
violence against foreigners all over the country,
444
00:46:29,006 --> 00:46:34,220
it is very important that
we do not antagonize her husband.
445
00:46:34,971 --> 00:46:36,931
So, I want you to go home.
446
00:46:38,266 --> 00:46:40,935
I'm doing God's work just like you are.
447
00:46:41,602 --> 00:46:43,479
I haven't done anything wrong.
448
00:46:45,773 --> 00:46:49,443
If I'm becoming a problem to the Church,
I'll leave the Church.
449
00:46:49,735 --> 00:46:50,735
And if you...
450
00:46:51,988 --> 00:46:55,199
so object to my association
with Madame Kang...
451
00:46:58,411 --> 00:46:59,745
I'll leave you too.
452
00:47:07,003 --> 00:47:10,089
You did not tell me that's why
you wanted to see Dr. Wilson.
453
00:47:12,633 --> 00:47:16,637
You know your family enjoys all sorts
of advantages from your husband.
454
00:47:17,346 --> 00:47:19,140
Why would you do this to him?
455
00:47:22,810 --> 00:47:26,022
Life is a compromise.
456
00:47:28,482 --> 00:47:30,526
You think my marriage is any better?
457
00:47:31,652 --> 00:47:34,155
Haven't you seen my husband drinking?
458
00:47:38,451 --> 00:47:39,952
What are you going to do?
459
00:47:40,828 --> 00:47:42,663
Don't do this, you could die.
460
00:47:46,709 --> 00:47:48,085
If you do this,
461
00:47:48,878 --> 00:47:50,796
and you change your mind,
462
00:47:51,756 --> 00:47:53,716
you will always regret it.
463
00:47:55,635 --> 00:48:00,640
With or without your help,
I will do this.
464
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,316
If we only remove the uterus
it will be a simpler procedure.
465
00:48:38,844 --> 00:48:40,179
Madame...
466
00:48:41,263 --> 00:48:42,390
Say it!
467
00:48:43,933 --> 00:48:45,893
She asked the foreign doctor...
468
00:48:49,522 --> 00:48:50,982
to cut out...
469
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:54,777
her... uterus.
470
00:48:55,945 --> 00:48:57,947
She can't bear children anymore.
471
00:49:03,244 --> 00:49:04,704
Oh, Master!
472
00:50:17,026 --> 00:50:18,194
Manager Qiu!
473
00:50:20,738 --> 00:50:23,157
I went by your
house but you had left.
474
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:24,033
Young Master.
475
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,493
What's with your horse?
476
00:50:25,659 --> 00:50:28,746
I'm training my legs
to serve Old Master better.
477
00:50:28,913 --> 00:50:29,913
Come on!
478
00:50:32,124 --> 00:50:33,292
Look!
479
00:50:34,126 --> 00:50:35,586
A graveyard for foot traders.
480
00:50:35,753 --> 00:50:38,422
Some of my ancestors
may be lying here.
481
00:50:38,589 --> 00:50:39,589
It's haunted.
482
00:50:40,341 --> 00:50:41,634
Wolves are around, too?
483
00:50:42,093 --> 00:50:46,055
If you're tapped on the shoulder
after sunset, don't turn around.
484
00:50:46,222 --> 00:50:47,848
The wolf will rip your throat out.
485
00:50:48,015 --> 00:50:50,059
- That's a tall tale!
- It's for real.
486
00:50:51,727 --> 00:50:54,772
I've got a lot to learn.
You have to teach me.
487
00:50:54,939 --> 00:50:55,939
How dare I?
488
00:50:56,315 --> 00:50:58,776
You watch me.
I won't make mistakes now.
489
00:50:58,943 --> 00:51:00,653
Believe me, Manager Qiu.
490
00:51:01,112 --> 00:51:04,031
I come to learn.
491
00:51:04,907 --> 00:51:07,785
Anyone can punish me
if I make another mistake.
492
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:09,745
Manager Qiu.
493
00:51:09,912 --> 00:51:12,957
You're a man with ambition.
Don't degrade yourself.
494
00:51:17,795 --> 00:51:19,088
Lord Kang's here.
495
00:51:19,255 --> 00:51:20,798
- Who?
- Lord Kang.
496
00:51:27,096 --> 00:51:27,847
Lord Kang.
497
00:51:28,013 --> 00:51:30,349
Manager Dai,
an unwanted guest's here!
498
00:51:36,188 --> 00:51:38,065
I came to buy guns.
499
00:51:38,232 --> 00:51:41,986
Westerners and churches bought
theirs. It's time we did the same.
500
00:51:44,238 --> 00:51:46,282
Beijing is in trouble.
501
00:51:46,532 --> 00:51:49,451
The Boxer rebels
seem to be making inroads.
502
00:51:50,119 --> 00:51:52,663
We should move our silver South.
503
00:51:53,539 --> 00:51:56,917
But the roads aren't safe anymore.
504
00:52:02,214 --> 00:52:03,382
I...
505
00:52:04,049 --> 00:52:05,676
I'll go to Fujian.
506
00:52:05,885 --> 00:52:06,969
Yes?
507
00:52:07,970 --> 00:52:11,432
Perhaps I can persuade the
Governor to transfer
508
00:52:11,932 --> 00:52:13,684
his tax fund through us.
509
00:52:13,851 --> 00:52:14,977
Good.
510
00:52:16,854 --> 00:52:19,481
Silver in Beijing
goes into the Treasury
511
00:52:19,648 --> 00:52:22,026
and silver in Fujian
stays in the South.
512
00:52:22,193 --> 00:52:24,028
Other provinces can follow.
513
00:52:24,195 --> 00:52:27,156
We'll empty our vaults
before war comes.
514
00:52:27,323 --> 00:52:30,576
There's another matter
I want to ask you about.
515
00:52:31,785 --> 00:52:33,829
The difficult national politics...
516
00:52:37,082 --> 00:52:39,210
and my own domestic problems.
517
00:52:40,336 --> 00:52:42,755
Our bank's future
518
00:52:43,422 --> 00:52:45,507
now rests with you.
519
00:52:50,763 --> 00:52:52,848
We ought to be one family.
520
00:52:54,099 --> 00:52:57,061
What do you think
about becoming my godson?
521
00:53:00,981 --> 00:53:01,981
Lord Kang...
522
00:53:02,274 --> 00:53:04,026
please don't overburden me.
523
00:53:05,819 --> 00:53:07,529
I admire you.
524
00:53:08,113 --> 00:53:11,158
I don't have to be your son
to be loyal to you.
525
00:53:11,784 --> 00:53:13,327
Please don't worry.
526
00:53:13,869 --> 00:53:15,162
I mean well.
527
00:53:15,996 --> 00:53:18,290
It's my responsibility to be loyal.
528
00:53:24,088 --> 00:53:25,839
We'll speak no more of this.
529
00:53:26,257 --> 00:53:27,424
Please get up!
530
00:53:28,259 --> 00:53:30,135
I'm grateful for your trust.
531
00:53:31,303 --> 00:53:33,305
Manager Dai...
532
00:53:33,973 --> 00:53:36,976
How I wish you were my son!
533
00:53:39,603 --> 00:53:41,605
Your 3rd load of tax silver.
534
00:53:41,772 --> 00:53:45,025
Don't close down
even if you've emptied your vaults.
535
00:53:45,192 --> 00:53:47,778
The market counts
on banks like yours.
536
00:53:48,946 --> 00:53:51,573
We're only trying
to earn transfer fee, Sir.
537
00:53:58,580 --> 00:54:00,749
Allied Forces landed in Tianjin.
538
00:54:09,216 --> 00:54:12,720
BEIJING BRANCH CLOSES DOWN
539
00:54:31,530 --> 00:54:33,282
Have you come this way often?
540
00:54:33,574 --> 00:54:36,744
At 18, when I finished training,
my first post
541
00:54:37,202 --> 00:54:38,871
was the Gobi Desert.
542
00:54:42,583 --> 00:54:44,043
Want some wine?
543
00:54:54,428 --> 00:54:55,929
Horses are a handful.
544
00:54:59,141 --> 00:55:00,142
Take a torch!
545
00:55:05,022 --> 00:55:06,398
Manager Qiu.
546
00:55:12,404 --> 00:55:13,404
Don't move.
547
00:56:50,544 --> 00:56:53,464
Wolves are scared
of the sound of traps, right?
548
00:56:59,970 --> 00:57:00,971
Come!
549
00:57:46,266 --> 00:57:48,393
My life is yours from now on.
550
00:57:49,436 --> 00:57:52,689
Lives, men's or horses',
are lost in the blink of an eye.
551
00:57:54,233 --> 00:57:55,609
But...
552
00:57:59,738 --> 00:58:02,157
This experience was good for us.
553
00:58:02,533 --> 00:58:03,533
Get up.
554
00:58:12,459 --> 00:58:13,544
Get up!
555
00:58:17,214 --> 00:58:20,050
I'm not my father,
you don't have to do this.
556
00:58:42,239 --> 00:58:43,490
I'll take this.
557
00:58:47,452 --> 00:58:48,452
Thank you.
558
00:58:54,042 --> 00:58:55,043
Goodbye.
559
01:00:50,158 --> 01:00:53,870
Break your engagement to marry
her? But she's your teacher!
560
01:00:54,871 --> 01:00:56,832
You're way out of line!
561
01:01:24,776 --> 01:01:28,864
Madame has stayed in bed for a
month. Can she go bathing tomorrow?
562
01:01:56,641 --> 01:01:57,641
Madame!
563
01:02:04,274 --> 01:02:07,986
Madame! Please come back!
It's not safe!
564
01:02:09,446 --> 01:02:11,948
Madame! Please come back!
565
01:02:12,449 --> 01:02:14,951
It's not safe! Come back please!
566
01:02:21,958 --> 01:02:24,169
We have to get help!
567
01:02:33,136 --> 01:02:34,346
Who can swim?
568
01:02:42,646 --> 01:02:43,646
Madame!
569
01:02:54,574 --> 01:02:57,494
MONGOLIAN TRADE MARKET
570
01:03:34,114 --> 01:03:35,115
Madame passed away.
571
01:03:35,949 --> 01:03:38,368
It's been 8 days.
The family's waiting for you.
572
01:04:29,628 --> 01:04:30,754
Third bow.
573
01:04:34,174 --> 01:04:35,383
Rise.
574
01:04:38,762 --> 01:04:41,556
Ceremony over.
Back to your places.
575
01:04:45,018 --> 01:04:46,478
Back to your place!
576
01:04:59,783 --> 01:05:00,784
Get up.
577
01:05:01,910 --> 01:05:04,204
You're out of line! Save some face.
578
01:05:04,829 --> 01:05:06,331
She was your stepmother.
579
01:05:07,332 --> 01:05:09,459
No more than your stepmother...
580
01:05:12,253 --> 01:05:13,254
Third!
581
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:15,757
Third Master...
582
01:06:09,436 --> 01:06:12,647
The family needs you.
I must know your whereabouts.
583
01:06:13,273 --> 01:06:14,983
I'll go join Manager Dai.
584
01:06:19,029 --> 01:06:20,238
How was Manager Qiu?
585
01:06:20,989 --> 01:06:22,198
Fine.
586
01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:26,786
You'd best stay home
until your wife gets pregnant.
587
01:06:31,082 --> 01:06:33,960
Our family line depends on you.
Act responsibly.
588
01:06:35,086 --> 01:06:37,380
Our bloodline's at risk.
Don't leave!
589
01:06:39,966 --> 01:06:41,134
Fourth...
590
01:06:55,648 --> 01:06:57,692
Chief, the armies are coming.
591
01:06:58,686 --> 01:06:59,686
What?
592
01:07:04,934 --> 01:07:05,934
Stop!
593
01:07:06,319 --> 01:07:07,820
Stop!
594
01:07:13,242 --> 01:07:14,744
Are you Tian Cheng Yuan Bank?
595
01:07:15,019 --> 01:07:16,229
Yes.
596
01:07:16,713 --> 01:07:19,090
- Is Manager Dai back?
- He's in Shanghai.
597
01:07:19,257 --> 01:07:21,926
The French and German United
Army is coming.
598
01:07:22,093 --> 01:07:25,138
The Imperial family has already left.
599
01:07:25,305 --> 01:07:27,599
The sooner you leave the better.
600
01:07:36,316 --> 01:07:38,610
Our ancestors will bear witness.
601
01:07:40,269 --> 01:07:42,021
Read this carefully.
602
01:07:44,816 --> 01:07:47,318
“Under the hillock,
beneath the rose bed,
603
01:07:47,485 --> 01:07:48,820
"left of the ancient pine..."
604
01:07:49,286 --> 01:07:50,704
Memorize it!
605
01:07:52,623 --> 01:07:54,166
These nine secret vaults
606
01:07:54,633 --> 01:07:59,054
hold 3 million taels of silver
accumulated over a century.
607
01:07:59,439 --> 01:08:02,817
Your brothers and I
will stay behind to guard them.
608
01:08:03,318 --> 01:08:05,195
If the vaults survive,
609
01:08:05,362 --> 01:08:07,822
we'll rebuild our bank after the war.
610
01:08:08,198 --> 01:08:09,366
Rebuild?
611
01:08:17,415 --> 01:08:20,126
Manager Dai
has achieved too much for our good.
612
01:08:20,502 --> 01:08:23,255
In addition, he has three male heirs.
613
01:08:23,621 --> 01:08:26,166
You choose him,
our bank will become his.
614
01:08:29,218 --> 01:08:32,179
Manager Qiu, however,
is without sons.
615
01:08:33,389 --> 01:08:36,016
He's the only one you can rely on.
616
01:08:38,477 --> 01:08:40,688
You have to trust my experience in
this.
617
01:08:42,898 --> 01:08:45,693
This is our final parting,
allow me my last wish.
618
01:08:45,859 --> 01:08:46,859
Father!
619
01:08:47,653 --> 01:08:51,740
Your choice between Dai and Qiu
decides the future of our family.
620
01:08:54,076 --> 01:08:55,661
I'll do as you say.
621
01:08:57,121 --> 01:08:59,206
- Don't ever forget.
- I won't.
622
01:09:00,499 --> 01:09:03,585
But I can't leave my family behind,
engulfed in war.
623
01:09:04,003 --> 01:09:06,255
We live only to continue our
bloodline.
624
01:09:07,298 --> 01:09:10,050
From now on, you are our future.
625
01:09:13,429 --> 01:09:16,390
For the family's sake,
take care of yourself.
626
01:09:22,354 --> 01:09:23,480
Hurry!
627
01:09:23,647 --> 01:09:25,858
Don't let it fall.
628
01:09:26,859 --> 01:09:27,859
Hurry up!
629
01:09:28,469 --> 01:09:30,137
Get the harness on!
630
01:10:03,170 --> 01:10:04,672
Third Master!
631
01:10:06,924 --> 01:10:07,924
Come with me.
632
01:10:52,386 --> 01:10:54,471
Lies, all lies!
Again!
633
01:10:54,972 --> 01:10:57,182
We faked the funeral
because divorce wasn't possible.
634
01:11:01,729 --> 01:11:03,230
When will you stop
messing with me?
635
01:11:09,903 --> 01:11:11,864
Don't think you can just leave.
636
01:11:12,489 --> 01:11:14,616
Speak... Say it!
637
01:11:17,202 --> 01:11:20,039
Why did you marry him?
You said you'd stay single.
638
01:11:22,458 --> 01:11:26,253
My father told me
I was to be your concubine.
639
01:11:27,546 --> 01:11:30,174
From the day I taught
in your house
640
01:11:30,341 --> 01:11:32,009
your father had plans for me.
641
01:11:32,176 --> 01:11:33,927
He had a deal with my father.
642
01:11:34,278 --> 01:11:36,030
You... my concubine?
643
01:11:39,492 --> 01:11:41,118
Why didn't you leave?
644
01:11:41,285 --> 01:11:44,997
Because".
At least I could still see you.
645
01:11:54,006 --> 01:11:55,006
But now...
646
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:00,805
I'm leaving.
647
01:12:01,555 --> 01:12:02,765
Where?
648
01:12:03,557 --> 01:12:04,557
How?
649
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:05,810
America.
650
01:12:09,939 --> 01:12:11,774
Mrs. Landdeck's waiting for me.
651
01:12:32,044 --> 01:12:35,256
I really have to leave or I'll go mad.
652
01:12:40,511 --> 01:12:42,471
I trapped you...
653
01:12:45,099 --> 01:12:46,934
yet I held a grudge against you.
654
01:12:49,395 --> 01:12:50,521
I hated you...
655
01:12:52,481 --> 01:12:53,774
I hated you.
656
01:13:11,333 --> 01:13:15,588
Many nights I dreamed of you
holding me like this.
657
01:13:17,173 --> 01:13:19,925
In the dream I told myself
not to wake up...
658
01:13:20,426 --> 01:13:22,219
Please don't wake up.
659
01:13:28,100 --> 01:13:29,100
In the night,
660
01:13:29,435 --> 01:13:31,270
it hurts so much wanting you...
661
01:14:17,650 --> 01:14:19,235
I'm leaving with you.
662
01:14:20,486 --> 01:14:22,530
You head a family now.
How can you?
663
01:14:23,114 --> 01:14:24,114
I'll just leave.
664
01:14:25,074 --> 01:14:26,408
You'll regret it.
665
01:14:27,701 --> 01:14:29,453
And then you'll blame me.
666
01:14:31,997 --> 01:14:33,707
Then what are we to do?
667
01:14:39,004 --> 01:14:42,758
I took only this
when I left your house.
668
01:14:43,467 --> 01:14:45,469
Whenever I look at it,
669
01:14:45,770 --> 01:14:47,897
I feel we're together.
670
01:15:06,958 --> 01:15:10,670
Remember you had a soft heart
when you were young.
671
01:15:16,884 --> 01:15:19,470
Don't become like your father,
672
01:15:20,262 --> 01:15:22,598
then we will always be together.
673
01:15:29,397 --> 01:15:32,316
In my entire life,
you are my only thought.
674
01:15:34,527 --> 01:15:36,904
If I perish in fire,
675
01:15:37,071 --> 01:15:39,615
my heart will be
the ashes on your clothes.
676
01:16:16,485 --> 01:16:17,945
Maybe someday...
677
01:16:18,904 --> 01:16:20,239
wherever you are,
678
01:16:21,032 --> 01:16:22,533
I'll come to see you.
679
01:16:25,244 --> 01:16:26,245
Yes.
680
01:16:27,955 --> 01:16:30,082
You will let me know where you are.
681
01:16:31,083 --> 01:16:32,626
You will write me.
682
01:16:35,296 --> 01:16:36,464
Yes.
683
01:16:39,633 --> 01:16:41,302
Stay well.
684
01:16:46,766 --> 01:16:47,850
Yes.
685
01:16:50,603 --> 01:16:51,896
Stay alive.
686
01:19:00,399 --> 01:19:01,567
Good news!
687
01:19:03,235 --> 01:19:06,030
The foreign army has changed
direction.
688
01:19:11,368 --> 01:19:15,122
Old Master tells you
to go visit Manager Qiu.
689
01:19:32,056 --> 01:19:35,809
Tell my father
I'll go visit Manager Dai in Shanghai.
690
01:19:36,977 --> 01:19:38,812
Man's stronger without desires.
691
01:19:38,979 --> 01:19:40,439
I never wanted to head the family.
692
01:19:41,607 --> 01:19:44,777
Old Master wants only the best
for Third Master.
693
01:19:46,904 --> 01:19:48,447
Give this message to him:
694
01:19:48,989 --> 01:19:53,327
If he wants me to care for myself,
he shouldn't mold me in his image.
695
01:19:54,787 --> 01:19:55,787
Yes.
696
01:19:57,039 --> 01:19:58,039
Also...
697
01:19:59,708 --> 01:20:01,085
I saw her, alive.
698
01:20:05,756 --> 01:20:06,756
Go.
699
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,788
Will they continue this thing?
700
01:20:38,789 --> 01:20:40,541
Madame's on board the ship.
701
01:20:42,501 --> 01:20:46,046
I taught him the art of controlling
men, now he uses it on me.
702
01:20:46,822 --> 01:20:51,785
I told you Third's a warrior,
he's got what it takes.
703
01:20:51,852 --> 01:20:54,647
Third Master
has Master's blood in him.
704
01:20:56,107 --> 01:20:58,692
If he plays it hard, I'll play it soft.
705
01:21:00,152 --> 01:21:04,115
Tiger father, tiger son.
I won't ruin our family for a woman.
706
01:21:04,373 --> 01:21:06,375
Let him go carve out his own world.
707
01:21:06,642 --> 01:21:08,936
If he fails,
I'll pick up the pieces for him.
708
01:21:09,770 --> 01:21:11,272
How about you, Sir?
709
01:21:13,232 --> 01:21:14,692
A widower remarries.
710
01:21:15,067 --> 01:21:17,153
No one can criticize you for that.
711
01:21:24,744 --> 01:21:26,704
This time I'll listen to you.
712
01:21:27,413 --> 01:21:30,332
Find me a country woman
who can bear children.
713
01:21:30,499 --> 01:21:32,710
No more fancy stuff.
714
01:21:57,568 --> 01:21:58,944
Much obliged.
715
01:22:08,245 --> 01:22:09,288
What can we learn?
716
01:22:09,455 --> 01:22:12,875
Taking on small clients is easy,
getting loan collaterals is not.
717
01:22:13,042 --> 01:22:15,711
We lend to the Court,
we can't ask for collaterals.
718
01:22:15,878 --> 01:22:19,090
Peace treaty signed!
The Court will return to Beijing!
719
01:22:23,385 --> 01:22:26,180
The silver market
will be moving again.
720
01:22:36,315 --> 01:22:38,275
Brother!
Using your passage again!
721
01:22:39,735 --> 01:22:42,279
You're welcome. Safe journey!
722
01:22:43,447 --> 01:22:45,741
Bring some women back!
723
01:22:47,159 --> 01:22:49,620
This is from our new National Bank.
724
01:22:50,121 --> 01:22:52,039
This is the first time I see one.
725
01:22:52,540 --> 01:22:56,460
Such a light piece of paper
is worth 100 silver taels!
726
01:22:56,836 --> 01:22:58,254
How can that be?
727
01:22:58,879 --> 01:23:01,382
The Court used to
forbid paper money.
728
01:23:01,549 --> 01:23:05,970
Our trade was born
from the danger of shipping silver.
729
01:23:06,137 --> 01:23:07,429
Now paper money...
730
01:23:07,596 --> 01:23:10,266
We should just retire and go home!
731
01:23:10,432 --> 01:23:11,684
I have a suggestion:
732
01:23:12,309 --> 01:23:16,480
Silver transfer is obsolete.
The National Bank took over our clients.
733
01:23:16,647 --> 01:23:18,357
We can't fight the Court.
734
01:23:18,899 --> 01:23:23,028
But they forget China
has the largest population in the world.
735
01:23:23,946 --> 01:23:27,533
If we take on small clients,
together they are a force.
736
01:23:27,700 --> 01:23:29,326
Like ants build anthills,
737
01:23:29,785 --> 01:23:31,704
the working people
can build us a mountain.
738
01:23:46,468 --> 01:23:49,263
ONE TAEL OPENS AN ACCOUNT
739
01:23:55,186 --> 01:23:58,189
I've never seen so much cheer
at a bank.
740
01:23:58,355 --> 01:24:01,275
Bringing working people in...
741
01:24:01,442 --> 01:24:02,651
Feels good.
742
01:24:10,735 --> 01:24:12,612
Mutton buns, steamed buns!
743
01:24:12,687 --> 01:24:15,106
- Cabbage, Sir?
- Get lost!
744
01:24:19,193 --> 01:24:20,236
Manager Qiu!
745
01:24:20,737 --> 01:24:23,489
Manager Dai.
Lord Kang sent me to visit you.
746
01:24:23,906 --> 01:24:25,241
Third Master!
747
01:24:25,575 --> 01:24:28,494
It's been a year since the Gobi
Desert. How are you?
748
01:24:28,661 --> 01:24:30,413
Why are you in Beijing?
749
01:24:37,086 --> 01:24:41,049
I'm here to see if “One Tael Opens
an Account” can go nationwide.
750
01:24:44,135 --> 01:24:45,887
Are you to be the Chief Manager?
751
01:24:48,514 --> 01:24:53,353
I'll go home to inform Father
that I'm moving headquarters to Beijing.
752
01:24:53,811 --> 01:24:56,064
He won't be
making the decisions anymore.
753
01:25:02,487 --> 01:25:05,406
These dirty children are now
our source of income.
754
01:25:05,573 --> 01:25:08,076
This may not be to your taste.
755
01:25:10,578 --> 01:25:11,829
Catch!
756
01:25:21,964 --> 01:25:22,964
Manager Dai.
757
01:25:24,550 --> 01:25:26,594
Before I went to Shanghai,
I told Father
758
01:25:26,761 --> 01:25:28,680
I needed you as Chief Manager.
759
01:25:28,846 --> 01:25:29,846
What do you think?
760
01:25:35,770 --> 01:25:37,605
These are dangerous times.
761
01:25:38,022 --> 01:25:39,607
That's why I need you.
762
01:25:40,149 --> 01:25:43,277
I speak from the heart,
please consider it.
763
01:25:50,827 --> 01:25:52,704
Lord Kang will never agree.
764
01:25:53,996 --> 01:25:55,373
He has already agreed.
765
01:25:56,708 --> 01:25:58,292
He wants Manager Qiu.
766
01:25:58,459 --> 01:26:00,044
But he has already agreed.
767
01:26:00,712 --> 01:26:01,713
Impossible!
768
01:26:03,256 --> 01:26:05,425
Do you want me
to swear by my ancestors?
769
01:26:14,267 --> 01:26:16,394
I will do my very best.
770
01:26:19,355 --> 01:26:21,774
We're taking on
the challenges of our time.
771
01:26:22,734 --> 01:26:24,152
I thank you.
772
01:26:31,492 --> 01:26:33,077
Command as you wish.
773
01:26:51,888 --> 01:26:54,307
TEN YEARS LATER
774
01:26:54,891 --> 01:26:57,727
THE NATIONALIST REVOLUTION
775
01:27:01,397 --> 01:27:03,149
Dear Father:
776
01:27:03,691 --> 01:27:05,276
The nation is suffering.
777
01:27:05,443 --> 01:27:09,155
Though our situation is dire,
I can still manage.
778
01:27:09,655 --> 01:27:13,326
Five branches in Nanking and
Canton were plundered and burned.
779
01:27:14,202 --> 01:27:15,787
Shanghai Shipyards was burned,
780
01:27:16,454 --> 01:27:19,248
the Court debtor has disappeared.
781
01:27:19,415 --> 01:27:21,959
Our debt collection rate
is now under 10%.
782
01:27:22,668 --> 01:27:27,590
Liquidity and staff loyalty
are my greatest worries.
783
01:27:29,300 --> 01:27:32,386
Manager Qiu's en route
with the silver back to Shanxi.
784
01:27:32,553 --> 01:27:35,515
I don't know if he has arrived
and I'm concerned.
785
01:27:58,496 --> 01:27:59,496
Alert!
786
01:28:06,462 --> 01:28:08,297
Manager Qiu, find cover.
787
01:30:03,371 --> 01:30:05,164
Manager Qiu!
788
01:30:27,937 --> 01:30:31,357
Manager Qiu,
from now on we don't know each other.
789
01:31:01,721 --> 01:31:03,180
Qiu hasn't arrived.
790
01:31:03,347 --> 01:31:06,267
The bodyguard company
knows the road well.
791
01:31:06,434 --> 01:31:07,893
Let's wait.
792
01:31:09,437 --> 01:31:10,813
We'll wait.
793
01:31:12,565 --> 01:31:17,069
If mass withdrawals begin nationwide,
the situation will be hard to control.
794
01:31:17,987 --> 01:31:20,531
If the Qing dynasty falls...
795
01:31:28,789 --> 01:31:30,541
If the Qing dynasty falls...
796
01:31:30,708 --> 01:31:32,877
its paper money will be worthless.
797
01:31:34,754 --> 01:31:37,048
What about
the working people's deposits?
798
01:31:37,673 --> 01:31:39,091
They trust us.
799
01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:42,595
Business is business.
800
01:31:45,264 --> 01:31:47,224
What else can we do?
801
01:31:49,852 --> 01:31:51,479
I want real silver!
802
01:31:51,645 --> 01:31:52,938
Hurry up!
803
01:31:53,105 --> 01:31:55,483
Hand over the silver
or we'll arrest you.
804
01:31:55,649 --> 01:31:57,485
- We are reputable...
- Real silver!
805
01:31:57,651 --> 01:32:01,864
Paper money is silver,
it's backed up by silver...
806
01:32:02,782 --> 01:32:04,658
I want real silver!
807
01:32:05,117 --> 01:32:06,494
Arrest him!
808
01:32:09,121 --> 01:32:11,999
Either silver or arrest!
809
01:32:12,166 --> 01:32:13,918
Real silver!
810
01:32:14,085 --> 01:32:15,085
Take him away!
811
01:32:15,211 --> 01:32:16,253
Please, I beg you!
812
01:32:16,587 --> 01:32:17,587
I beg you!
813
01:32:17,630 --> 01:32:19,799
We'll release him when you pay up.
814
01:32:19,965 --> 01:32:22,885
If not, we'll arrest your chairman.
Take him away!
815
01:32:24,053 --> 01:32:25,179
Take the back door.
816
01:32:25,554 --> 01:32:27,014
Those commoners outside...
817
01:32:27,181 --> 01:32:29,016
Please, out the back way!
818
01:32:31,811 --> 01:32:33,687
Give us back our silver!
819
01:32:35,397 --> 01:32:37,233
Burn the place down!
820
01:32:39,610 --> 01:32:42,571
Don't set a fire!
Listen to me!
821
01:32:43,114 --> 01:32:44,114
Not to worry,
822
01:32:44,573 --> 01:32:48,160
If you think the Court
can't back up these bills,
823
01:32:48,327 --> 01:32:49,787
come and...
824
01:32:50,871 --> 01:32:51,871
burn them!
825
01:32:52,039 --> 01:32:54,375
You and the Court are in it together!
826
01:32:55,584 --> 01:32:59,130
We'll never betray your trust.
But our vaults are empty.
827
01:32:59,296 --> 01:33:00,589
Burn the place down!
828
01:33:00,756 --> 01:33:03,175
The Court's paper money
is as good as silver.
829
01:33:03,342 --> 01:33:05,469
If you want to withdraw,
please come in.
830
01:33:05,636 --> 01:33:08,722
Silver to buy rice!
Nobody takes paper money now.
831
01:33:09,765 --> 01:33:12,017
You deposited paper money.
832
01:33:12,184 --> 01:33:14,728
It's only fair that we repay you
in paper money.
833
01:33:14,895 --> 01:33:15,896
Call that fair?
834
01:33:16,063 --> 01:33:19,150
It was money when deposited.
Now it's scrap paper.
835
01:33:19,483 --> 01:33:20,109
That's right!
836
01:33:20,276 --> 01:33:21,944
Our life savings!
837
01:33:22,111 --> 01:33:24,196
Have pity on us!
838
01:33:24,697 --> 01:33:26,031
Get up, get up.
839
01:33:26,157 --> 01:33:27,658
Give us back our silver!
840
01:33:27,741 --> 01:33:29,243
We want silver,
841
01:33:30,578 --> 01:33:32,371
I won't live anymore!
842
01:33:34,582 --> 01:33:35,708
Hold him!
843
01:33:35,917 --> 01:33:36,959
No.
844
01:33:37,702 --> 01:33:39,120
Hold him.
845
01:33:44,376 --> 01:33:48,129
Someone! Come! Help!
846
01:33:50,958 --> 01:33:54,962
Someone! Help!
847
01:33:59,508 --> 01:34:01,303
Help!
848
01:34:01,812 --> 01:34:03,105
Pa...
849
01:34:06,274 --> 01:34:07,943
Papa
850
01:34:16,190 --> 01:34:18,192
What would you do if you were me?
851
01:34:51,976 --> 01:34:53,269
Father.
852
01:34:54,270 --> 01:34:57,607
You think you can use
our savings to pay the Court's debts?
853
01:34:57,774 --> 01:35:01,110
We have substance,
we won't starve even if we go bankrupt.
854
01:35:01,277 --> 01:35:02,445
But the small people...
855
01:35:02,987 --> 01:35:06,574
"Be righteous."
Isn't it our company code?
856
01:35:06,741 --> 01:35:08,367
You use the Code against me!
857
01:35:09,827 --> 01:35:11,621
The stench of a man burning...
858
01:35:11,871 --> 01:35:14,749
I seduced them into banking with us.
859
01:35:18,085 --> 01:35:19,962
30 taels of silver.
860
01:35:20,379 --> 01:35:24,217
Your ancestor borrowed it
to start our family fortune.
861
01:35:24,383 --> 01:35:25,968
Read this carefully.
862
01:35:27,470 --> 01:35:28,638
Your ancestor decreed
863
01:35:29,555 --> 01:35:33,476
with interest,
it equals 1/3 of our worth,
864
01:35:33,893 --> 01:35:35,394
5 vaults of silver.
865
01:35:36,062 --> 01:35:39,565
You can take the remaining 4 vaults
to help the poor.
866
01:35:39,732 --> 01:35:42,527
But you can't touch what's not
yours.
867
01:35:43,694 --> 01:35:45,863
You talk about being righteous.
868
01:35:46,197 --> 01:35:48,074
This is being righteous!
869
01:35:56,207 --> 01:35:57,500
Our ancestor got the silver
870
01:35:57,667 --> 01:36:00,795
because he gave
his last bowl of porridge for a life.
871
01:36:01,295 --> 01:36:03,840
When I said
you've got the air of a warrior...
872
01:36:05,633 --> 01:36:09,762
I didn't know you'd
be hurting your own.
873
01:36:11,556 --> 01:36:15,184
One man, one life...
How it's lived determines its worth.
874
01:36:15,977 --> 01:36:18,062
Doing business is
but conducting oneself.
875
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:20,982
You're lecturing me?
876
01:36:24,402 --> 01:36:27,154
I betrayed someone.
My life's now a shell.
877
01:36:27,321 --> 01:36:28,573
I owe you two nothing!
878
01:36:28,739 --> 01:36:30,825
She told me to stay true to my
nature!
879
01:36:31,284 --> 01:36:32,827
If I ever see her again,
880
01:36:33,619 --> 01:36:35,204
I want to hold my head up.
881
01:36:36,289 --> 01:36:40,126
I don't talk to you about her,
it's shameful!
882
01:36:42,503 --> 01:36:43,546
Father!
883
01:36:44,422 --> 01:36:46,632
Our name was
built up over a century.
884
01:36:47,466 --> 01:36:49,802
Those who win
hearts rule the world.
885
01:36:49,969 --> 01:36:51,846
We will earn our money back.
886
01:36:54,015 --> 01:36:56,225
All the generations of our family,
887
01:36:57,018 --> 01:36:59,979
in your eyes,
cannot compete with a woman.
888
01:37:04,066 --> 01:37:07,570
Nine vaults of silver in exchange
for a son's heart.
889
01:37:12,950 --> 01:37:14,160
Is it worth it?
890
01:37:22,710 --> 01:37:23,920
So be it.
891
01:37:24,837 --> 01:37:26,088
So be it.
892
01:37:36,807 --> 01:37:39,685
You do well by her,
but you betray your ancestors.
893
01:37:41,979 --> 01:37:44,106
You'll be heavily in debt.
894
01:37:44,273 --> 01:37:45,650
I will repay them.
895
01:37:45,858 --> 01:37:47,777
Such naiveté...
896
01:37:48,194 --> 01:37:49,904
I will repay them.
897
01:37:50,279 --> 01:37:52,239
You won't be able to.
898
01:37:52,949 --> 01:37:54,241
Get up!
899
01:37:58,204 --> 01:37:59,497
Xia!
900
01:38:01,082 --> 01:38:02,291
Xia!
901
01:38:07,088 --> 01:38:09,924
Open the vaults tomorrow.
Summon the family.
902
01:38:10,424 --> 01:38:11,509
Yes, Sir.
903
01:38:13,886 --> 01:38:15,763
My first memory as a child
904
01:38:15,930 --> 01:38:20,643
happened that fateful evening,
cradled at my father's chest.
905
01:38:28,192 --> 01:38:30,695
I bore a son
for you to carry on our line.
906
01:38:36,117 --> 01:38:37,994
If he grows up to be capable,
907
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:40,788
then we'll have done our duty
to our ancestors.
908
01:38:42,707 --> 01:38:45,668
The smell of his tobacco,
909
01:38:45,835 --> 01:38:48,129
the rustling of his silk robe,
910
01:38:48,295 --> 01:38:51,507
his beard on my cheek...
911
01:38:51,674 --> 01:38:52,925
Bring him up well.
912
01:38:53,092 --> 01:38:54,468
The candlelight...
913
01:38:54,635 --> 01:38:55,886
Dad...
914
01:38:57,888 --> 01:39:00,433
This is all I can do for our family.
915
01:39:02,685 --> 01:39:04,103
Make our ancestors proud!
916
01:39:07,189 --> 01:39:08,399
Even at that age,
917
01:39:08,566 --> 01:39:12,236
I knew it was a moment
I had to remember.
918
01:39:23,039 --> 01:39:23,831
Third Master.
919
01:39:23,998 --> 01:39:26,459
I've searched everywhere in vain.
920
01:39:26,876 --> 01:39:29,253
- You've looked everywhere?
- Everywhere!
921
01:39:29,962 --> 01:39:32,590
But a horse
is missing from the stables.
922
01:39:33,883 --> 01:39:37,344
My father, your great-grandfather,
923
01:39:37,887 --> 01:39:40,181
disappeared that day.
924
01:39:40,723 --> 01:39:43,267
No one saw him again
nor found out where he went.
925
01:40:31,941 --> 01:40:34,151
KINDNESS
926
01:40:34,527 --> 01:40:39,824
RIGHTEOUSNESS
927
01:40:44,662 --> 01:40:45,871
Life is mysterious...
928
01:40:46,664 --> 01:40:48,290
We all pray
929
01:40:48,457 --> 01:40:52,211
that it doesn't challenge us
with hard choices.
930
01:40:52,837 --> 01:40:53,837
Dad!
931
01:40:58,134 --> 01:41:00,553
We haven't betrayed our ancestors.
932
01:41:01,262 --> 01:41:02,972
No matter where you are...
933
01:41:04,974 --> 01:41:06,559
feel comforted.
934
01:41:08,185 --> 01:41:09,854
We did the right thing.
935
01:41:11,814 --> 01:41:13,774
We did the right thing together.
936
01:41:16,318 --> 01:41:20,072
But it is when we face hard choices
937
01:41:20,239 --> 01:41:22,867
that we become in touch
with our true natures
938
01:41:23,033 --> 01:41:25,703
and define who we are.
939
01:41:32,251 --> 01:41:33,251
Gentlemen!
940
01:41:35,004 --> 01:41:36,589
Our trip to Beijing
941
01:41:37,464 --> 01:41:40,301
will bring you
great danger on my account.
942
01:41:40,968 --> 01:41:41,968
I thank you.
943
01:42:28,307 --> 01:42:31,435
I grew up under my brother's care
during the wars.
944
01:42:32,436 --> 01:42:34,772
I admired him
945
01:42:35,231 --> 01:42:38,067
not only because
he was my surrogate father,
