ALL NAMES, EVENTS, AND LOCATIONS
ARE FICTIONAL

2
00:00:48,687 --> 00:00:53,521
INSPIRED BY <i>LÝ DYNASTY'S GRIM TALES</i>
FROM PHAN CUỒNG

3
00:00:57,896 --> 00:01:01,811
<i>Eons ago, there was
the murderous Lord Ligneous.</i>

4
00:01:01,812 --> 00:01:04,561
<i>Those who fought it would die.</i>

5
00:01:04,562 --> 00:01:08,645
<i>One day, a sacred Mage
burned his own hair to create a charm.</i>

6
00:01:08,646 --> 00:01:13,479
<i>He drained it of its strength
and imprisoned it in a Sendan tree.</i>

7
00:01:15,604 --> 00:01:21,354
<i>From then on, the smell of burnt hair
would scare the Lord and his followers.</i>

8
00:01:22,729 --> 00:01:24,353
<i>Although weakened,</i>

9
00:01:24,354 --> 00:01:28,561
<i>the Lord would still use its essence
to seek a soul who can again</i>

10
00:01:28,562 --> 00:01:30,521
<i>unleash it upon us.</i>

11
00:01:41,229 --> 00:01:44,103
{\an8}My Emperor! Empress Tuệ Liễu is in labor.

12
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:46,395
{\an8}<i>The Emperor has long been childless.</i>

13
00:01:46,396 --> 00:01:48,645
{\an8}<i>So when the Empress delivered a Prince,</i>

14
00:01:48,646 --> 00:01:53,436
{\an8}<i>he was overjoyed
and named the baby Thân Đức.</i>

15
00:01:53,437 --> 00:01:55,521
<i>But he didn't know...</i>

16
00:02:05,396 --> 00:02:06,603
How dare you?

17
00:02:06,604 --> 00:02:08,228
Guards! Guards!

18
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:10,145
Show mercy, Emperor!

19
00:02:10,146 --> 00:02:12,062
My youngling didn't mean to.

20
00:02:12,646 --> 00:02:14,437
Emperor, please show mercy!

21
00:02:15,687 --> 00:02:17,604
Mercy is reserved for human beings.

22
00:02:18,396 --> 00:02:20,896
Not for what
has sought out blood at birth!

23
00:02:21,896 --> 00:02:23,561
- Guards?
- Here!

24
00:02:23,562 --> 00:02:25,354
Death to Empress Tuệ Liễu!

25
00:02:27,562 --> 00:02:28,978
And the Lotus Wing

26
00:02:28,979 --> 00:02:31,186
will now be isolated.

27
00:02:31,187 --> 00:02:33,395
None may enter or depart!

28
00:02:33,396 --> 00:02:35,770
Or else, off goes their head!

29
00:02:35,771 --> 00:02:39,728
<i>For ten years,
Thân Đức grew up in isolation.</i>

30
00:02:39,729 --> 00:02:42,061
<i>Then, the Emperor made an unexpected visit</i>

31
00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:45,354
<i>and gave him unexpected words.</i>

32
00:02:50,187 --> 00:02:51,479
My Seed!

33
00:02:52,062 --> 00:02:54,229
Miss me much, do you?

34
00:03:04,146 --> 00:03:07,312
See me, you shall.
All proper and prideful.

35
00:03:08,687 --> 00:03:10,312
Seven years from now,

36
00:03:10,812 --> 00:03:12,686
at the close of Tết,

37
00:03:12,687 --> 00:03:15,770
you will be summoned to my study.

38
00:03:15,771 --> 00:03:18,354
Your succession will be discussed.

39
00:03:22,729 --> 00:03:24,979
For any obstruction,

40
00:03:25,646 --> 00:03:27,146
use this wooden doll

41
00:03:27,979 --> 00:03:29,271
to kill them.

42
00:03:37,687 --> 00:03:38,812
My Seed!

43
00:03:39,646 --> 00:03:41,187
Doubting me, are you?

44
00:03:42,771 --> 00:03:44,271
The day you were born,

45
00:03:45,062 --> 00:03:47,854
you took some flesh from my hand.

46
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:51,896
Could you recall which hand it was?

47
00:03:57,854 --> 00:03:59,062
Well done!

48
00:04:02,146 --> 00:04:03,729
It is you, Father!

49
00:04:04,312 --> 00:04:07,187
I'd like to gift you this in return.

50
00:04:14,896 --> 00:04:18,061
<i>Remember at the close of Tết,</i>

51
00:04:18,062 --> 00:04:20,812
<i>our reunion is set!</i>

52
00:04:22,812 --> 00:04:26,771
<i>Seven years passed.
The Prince waited for nights on end.</i>

53
00:04:27,562 --> 00:04:29,687
<i>But the Emperor wouldn't show.</i>

54
00:04:32,979 --> 00:04:35,854
How come my Father isn't here,
as he has promised?

55
00:04:36,604 --> 00:04:38,853
Sire! It is impossible.

56
00:04:38,854 --> 00:04:41,936
In all the years we've been
in isolation with you,

57
00:04:41,937 --> 00:04:44,271
the Emperor has never set foot in here!

58
00:04:53,729 --> 00:04:54,646
But clearly,

59
00:04:55,229 --> 00:04:56,354
seven years ago,

60
00:04:57,021 --> 00:04:58,229
Father visited me.

61
00:04:58,896 --> 00:05:01,312
He told me things of the world outside.

62
00:05:02,104 --> 00:05:04,396
Get me to Father's study this instant.

63
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:08,021
Please reconsider, sire!
We shouldn't leave!

64
00:06:06,146 --> 00:06:08,436
<i>Once freed from isolation,</i>

65
00:06:08,437 --> 00:06:11,311
<i>anyone in Thân Đức's way was destroyed.</i>

66
00:06:11,312 --> 00:06:14,229
<i>Only one thing was on his mind...</i>

67
00:06:16,021 --> 00:06:18,104
Thân Đức! How dare you?

68
00:06:21,062 --> 00:06:22,146
Father.

69
00:06:22,729 --> 00:06:24,062
I only wish to see you.

70
00:06:24,771 --> 00:06:26,854
I've no desire for the throne.

71
00:06:28,896 --> 00:06:31,437
Do you recall? Seven years ago,

72
00:06:32,187 --> 00:06:34,187
you played the Hidden Hand with me.

73
00:06:34,687 --> 00:06:35,854
Now,

74
00:06:36,812 --> 00:06:38,729
I ask for a rematch.

75
00:06:39,396 --> 00:06:40,812
Guess which hand, Father.

76
00:06:42,062 --> 00:06:43,062
No!

77
00:06:49,771 --> 00:06:50,854
Father.

78
00:06:54,062 --> 00:06:55,187
That is the right hand.

79
00:06:57,062 --> 00:06:58,146
I've lost.

80
00:07:09,062 --> 00:07:10,479
You devil!

81
00:07:11,104 --> 00:07:12,937
- Imperial guards!
- Sire!

82
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:19,186
Prince Thân Đức!

83
00:07:19,187 --> 00:07:22,854
You living sin!
Kneel and beg for mercy, now!

84
00:07:35,687 --> 00:07:36,604
Father.

85
00:07:39,937 --> 00:07:41,270
Seize him!

86
00:07:41,271 --> 00:07:42,436
<i>After that,</i>

87
00:07:42,437 --> 00:07:47,604
<i>none in the palace knew
where the Demon Prince went.</i>

88
00:07:48,187 --> 00:07:49,186
The end!

89
00:07:49,187 --> 00:07:52,103
Heavens.

90
00:07:52,104 --> 00:07:53,436
Shush! Shush!

91
00:07:53,437 --> 00:07:55,895
Story's over. Disperse. To your homes!

92
00:07:55,896 --> 00:07:58,478
The tavern needs cleaning,
and I need sleep.

93
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:00,520
And you, Cuồng! I forbid you.

94
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:03,854
Don't tell dead Emperor stories
in my place again, you hear?

95
00:08:04,729 --> 00:08:07,728
But my stories draw folks to your place.

96
00:08:07,729 --> 00:08:10,187
And so, banning me

97
00:08:11,187 --> 00:08:13,395
- will cost you!
- End of discussion!

98
00:08:13,396 --> 00:08:15,561
I own this spot.
It is closing time, so move!

99
00:08:15,562 --> 00:08:17,478
Closing time. Disperse! Disperse!

100
00:08:17,479 --> 00:08:18,562
Disperse!

101
00:08:19,646 --> 00:08:21,103
Let's go! To your homes!

102
00:08:21,104 --> 00:08:23,645
- See you all tomorrow.
- Shooing us like flies!

103
00:08:23,646 --> 00:08:25,561
"Tomorrow" what? Dream on, mister!

104
00:08:25,562 --> 00:08:28,853
I'll give you just one more night!
Come sunup, you're evicted!

105
00:08:28,854 --> 00:08:32,229
- Please, stop!
- No! You stop! Get going!

106
00:08:32,937 --> 00:08:34,062
Pack it up, all!

107
00:08:34,646 --> 00:08:35,937
More money, less civility!

108
00:08:47,479 --> 00:08:51,479
Dry be the air! Watch out for flares!

109
00:08:52,979 --> 00:08:54,895
FIRST CHAPTER: THE SOUL DRIFTER

110
00:08:54,896 --> 00:08:58,854
Dry be the air! Watch out for flares!

111
00:09:03,229 --> 00:09:04,312
Father.

112
00:09:05,979 --> 00:09:07,686
Why did you abandon me?

113
00:09:07,687 --> 00:09:11,396
<i>Thân Đức! Why fault me, my Seed?</i>

114
00:09:14,562 --> 00:09:15,979
Who are you?

115
00:09:16,562 --> 00:09:18,811
<i>I am Lord Ligneous,</i>

116
00:09:18,812 --> 00:09:21,937
<i>and you are my very Seed.</i>

117
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,062
I am lost.

118
00:09:25,354 --> 00:09:27,770
Why am I a demon's spawn?

119
00:09:27,771 --> 00:09:30,811
<i>Thân Đức! Demon or not,</i>

120
00:09:30,812 --> 00:09:32,562
<i>I am your Father.</i>

121
00:09:33,187 --> 00:09:37,186
<i>Most inhumane are those
who call themselves humans.</i>

122
00:09:37,187 --> 00:09:41,812
<i>They have slain your mother!
Do you know that?</i>

123
00:09:42,604 --> 00:09:45,645
<i>Thân Đức! You must remember</i>

124
00:09:45,646 --> 00:09:49,396
<i>that soon after, you have a task to do.</i>

125
00:09:50,062 --> 00:09:52,896
<i>At any cost, you must complete it!</i>

126
00:09:57,187 --> 00:09:58,395
What is my task now?

127
00:09:58,396 --> 00:10:01,686
<i>My flesh is imprisoned
in the Hall of Eyes.</i>

128
00:10:01,687 --> 00:10:04,936
<i>Seek out and bleed out a Soul Drifter</i>

129
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:07,311
<i>on the day the seven stars parade.</i>

130
00:10:07,312 --> 00:10:10,978
<i>Then we shall return, Mother and I.</i>

131
00:10:10,979 --> 00:10:16,021
<i>Thân Đức! My essence has run dry.
On you, all will depend!</i>

132
00:10:55,937 --> 00:10:59,896
I beg you! Here I pray! Please spare me!

133
00:11:00,479 --> 00:11:03,395
From now on, I won't ever
tell spooky stories again!

134
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,270
Calm yourself.

135
00:11:05,271 --> 00:11:07,936
For I am human, not demonic.

136
00:11:07,937 --> 00:11:11,896
But no demon
will ever claim it as a demon!

137
00:11:14,062 --> 00:11:15,687
Show me your human smile.

138
00:11:18,229 --> 00:11:20,021
Heavens!

139
00:11:20,979 --> 00:11:22,729
The Smiling Demon!

140
00:11:23,646 --> 00:11:26,436
- No!
- I said, calm down.

141
00:11:26,437 --> 00:11:27,687
I am human.

142
00:11:31,521 --> 00:11:34,437
Demons haven't this warmth in them.

143
00:11:42,812 --> 00:11:44,021
Curse you!

144
00:11:47,812 --> 00:11:51,146
Are you mad? Bored with sleeping,
so you're out here scaring?

145
00:11:51,812 --> 00:11:52,937
I beg your pardon,

146
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:56,229
but I have a matter
in need of your attention.

147
00:12:00,646 --> 00:12:02,020
Fine, then.

148
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:03,853
Where's the fire?

149
00:12:03,854 --> 00:12:07,396
I'm called Mad Dog.
Merchant from end to end.

150
00:12:08,854 --> 00:12:11,104
I've met plenty of storytellers,

151
00:12:11,896 --> 00:12:14,061
but a good one like you

152
00:12:14,062 --> 00:12:15,229
is a rarity.

153
00:12:16,562 --> 00:12:19,687
For you to know so much
about the Demon Prince...

154
00:12:20,521 --> 00:12:21,687
Could someone

155
00:12:23,104 --> 00:12:24,811
from the palace have recounted it to you?

156
00:12:24,812 --> 00:12:26,521
Think, man!

157
00:12:27,312 --> 00:12:28,854
It's impossible.

158
00:12:31,687 --> 00:12:33,687
All the stories I tell

159
00:12:34,812 --> 00:12:36,104
are from the dreams I see.

160
00:12:37,854 --> 00:12:39,437
But it is odd,

161
00:12:41,062 --> 00:12:43,229
how real my dreams can be.

162
00:12:44,854 --> 00:12:46,146
It is as if...

163
00:12:47,146 --> 00:12:51,104
I am there, witnessing every second.

164
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,561
Found you, Soul Drifter.

165
00:12:53,562 --> 00:12:54,853
Huh? What?

166
00:12:54,854 --> 00:12:56,311
Nothing.

167
00:12:56,312 --> 00:12:58,021
- Cheers!
- Cheers!

168
00:12:58,646 --> 00:13:00,020
Mister!

169
00:13:00,021 --> 00:13:01,812
One query.

170
00:13:02,312 --> 00:13:04,896
Must the mask stay on?

171
00:13:05,729 --> 00:13:06,979
- This mask?
- Hm!

172
00:13:08,479 --> 00:13:09,812
It's like any other.

173
00:13:10,562 --> 00:13:13,312
Not too long ago, I was badly burned.

174
00:13:13,896 --> 00:13:15,853
My face was deformed.

175
00:13:15,854 --> 00:13:19,521
I now appear so to not terrify others.

176
00:13:20,354 --> 00:13:22,396
Manners! Pardon me!

177
00:13:23,771 --> 00:13:25,353
Begging your pardon, too.

178
00:13:25,354 --> 00:13:27,686
May I know about the bump on your nape?

179
00:13:27,687 --> 00:13:28,812
This?

180
00:13:29,437 --> 00:13:32,229
A gift since birth. I've had it forever.

181
00:13:34,396 --> 00:13:36,687
As for the matter
requiring your assistance,

182
00:13:37,937 --> 00:13:40,478
my village is secluded in the mountains,

183
00:13:40,479 --> 00:13:42,686
seven days from the Imperial City,

184
00:13:42,687 --> 00:13:45,520
and so, traveling proves challenging.

185
00:13:45,521 --> 00:13:46,895
Thus, they'd be overjoyed

186
00:13:46,896 --> 00:13:49,395
to greet you and hear your stories

187
00:13:49,396 --> 00:13:51,312
in a forthcoming feast.

188
00:13:57,479 --> 00:13:58,604
A seven-day journey

189
00:14:01,521 --> 00:14:03,437
to your village in the mountains?

190
00:14:06,687 --> 00:14:08,187
My, I'm already exhausted!

191
00:14:08,854 --> 00:14:10,146
And my remedy for exhaustion?

192
00:14:10,812 --> 00:14:12,812
It is to hit the hay!

193
00:14:24,437 --> 00:14:25,604
Hold on.

194
00:14:28,354 --> 00:14:31,604
Here is a deposit.

195
00:14:33,396 --> 00:14:34,562
And this here,

196
00:14:35,437 --> 00:14:37,271
when you're out of stories,

197
00:14:38,062 --> 00:14:39,437
this is yours to have.

198
00:14:42,521 --> 00:14:43,937
I like you already!

199
00:14:45,687 --> 00:14:48,604
You know the true cure for exhaustion!

200
00:14:49,937 --> 00:14:51,896
When I reach your village,

201
00:14:52,479 --> 00:14:54,645
I will gladly tell you

202
00:14:54,646 --> 00:14:57,771
and your fellows about

203
00:14:59,229 --> 00:15:02,104
the origins of the Demon Prince.

204
00:15:03,396 --> 00:15:05,729
You all will be the first to hear it.

205
00:15:06,979 --> 00:15:08,187
But for now,

206
00:15:10,271 --> 00:15:11,687
let us have a toast.

207
00:15:18,646 --> 00:15:22,146
TAVERN

208
00:15:22,979 --> 00:15:26,895
Please come and see.

209
00:15:26,896 --> 00:15:28,396
Come on, buy!

210
00:16:02,396 --> 00:16:03,354
Sir Dog!

211
00:16:04,562 --> 00:16:08,354
Strapping form like yours,
you're plenty married, no?

212
00:16:09,271 --> 00:16:12,479
I have a daughter who's 12 this year.

213
00:16:13,729 --> 00:16:16,521
I have a wife who fell ill and died.

214
00:16:19,937 --> 00:16:21,979
A lonely rooster and his chick.

215
00:16:24,604 --> 00:16:26,645
- Would you like something?
- Sir!

216
00:16:26,646 --> 00:16:28,895
- Give me this toy figurine.
- This?

217
00:16:28,896 --> 00:16:30,353
How much is it?

218
00:16:30,354 --> 00:16:32,478
- Five coins.
- Five?

219
00:16:32,479 --> 00:16:33,479
Yes.

220
00:16:35,812 --> 00:16:36,937
Gift for you!

221
00:16:37,604 --> 00:16:39,770
Ah, not quite. For your daughter.

222
00:16:39,771 --> 00:16:41,645
Take it. Humor me.

223
00:16:41,646 --> 00:16:42,729
Take it.

224
00:16:45,437 --> 00:16:47,062
Give it to her later.

225
00:16:48,354 --> 00:16:49,478
How much again?

226
00:16:49,479 --> 00:16:51,312
- Five coins.
- Five, why.

227
00:16:53,146 --> 00:16:54,521
I'm your neighbor, man!

228
00:16:55,062 --> 00:16:56,187
One coin!

229
00:16:57,271 --> 00:16:59,354
Fine! One is fine. Good deal.

230
00:17:00,479 --> 00:17:01,396
We're off!

231
00:17:10,729 --> 00:17:13,103
SECOND CHAPTER: LAND OF THE LEPERS

232
00:17:13,104 --> 00:17:15,353
Nhậm? Are you all right?

233
00:17:15,354 --> 00:17:16,521
Nhậm?

234
00:17:20,729 --> 00:17:21,729
Nhậm.

235
00:17:25,062 --> 00:17:26,686
It took just one night

236
00:17:26,687 --> 00:17:28,853
for his lesions to open further!

237
00:17:28,854 --> 00:17:31,146
Brother Đạt, just leave me.

238
00:17:31,771 --> 00:17:33,436
Don't take me home.

239
00:17:33,437 --> 00:17:35,270
Don't let me infect the others.

240
00:17:35,271 --> 00:17:36,811
Leave me be.

241
00:17:36,812 --> 00:17:39,271
How could I abandon you, huh?

242
00:17:41,854 --> 00:17:44,771
Men! Help me carry Nhậm home!

243
00:17:45,354 --> 00:17:46,479
Hold it!

244
00:17:50,479 --> 00:17:51,687
Let me diagnose him.

245
00:17:55,604 --> 00:17:57,271
He's approaching death.

246
00:18:08,562 --> 00:18:09,979
Numbed skin.

247
00:18:19,437 --> 00:18:20,646
Wounds are leaking.

248
00:18:23,021 --> 00:18:25,146
Is leprosy ailing where you live?

249
00:18:25,896 --> 00:18:27,186
How'd you know?

250
00:18:27,187 --> 00:18:28,687
These are signs of it.

251
00:18:30,104 --> 00:18:31,104
Hey!

252
00:18:32,396 --> 00:18:34,395
What did you feed him? Answer!

253
00:18:34,396 --> 00:18:35,895
Speak up, man!

254
00:18:35,896 --> 00:18:37,062
Quickly!

255
00:18:46,479 --> 00:18:48,187
My remedy only lasts hours.

256
00:18:50,687 --> 00:18:52,646
He'd still need more treatment.

257
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:58,812
Who are you?

258
00:18:59,562 --> 00:19:00,521
What's your origin?

259
00:19:01,104 --> 00:19:02,395
I am Thân Đức,

260
00:19:02,396 --> 00:19:03,896
an Imperial City healer.

261
00:19:04,729 --> 00:19:07,396
I was gathering herbs
and came across you all.

262
00:19:08,729 --> 00:19:11,437
Now that all is well, I'll be on my way.

263
00:19:21,396 --> 00:19:22,396
Thân Đức!

264
00:19:28,729 --> 00:19:29,646
Brother Đạt.

265
00:19:31,021 --> 00:19:33,521
Could we bother him to heal the villagers?

266
00:19:49,437 --> 00:19:52,312
You said before that this sickness here

267
00:19:53,062 --> 00:19:54,437
can be treated, yes?

268
00:19:59,812 --> 00:20:01,104
Leprosy is wicked,

269
00:20:01,771 --> 00:20:03,437
but it is still treatable.

270
00:20:04,021 --> 00:20:05,729
My master has save many from it.

271
00:20:07,854 --> 00:20:10,437
Brother Đạt! Nhậm is well again.

272
00:20:12,104 --> 00:20:13,062
Brother Đạt.

273
00:20:14,646 --> 00:20:15,729
Don't rejoice yet.

274
00:20:17,146 --> 00:20:18,936
To be freed from this sickness,

275
00:20:18,937 --> 00:20:21,187
you'd need more time and remedy.

276
00:20:26,146 --> 00:20:27,187
Hang on.

277
00:20:33,312 --> 00:20:34,396
Truth be told,

278
00:20:35,229 --> 00:20:38,229
back in my village, there are many others.

279
00:20:39,354 --> 00:20:41,562
If you could cure us from leprosy,

280
00:20:42,646 --> 00:20:44,479
I'll do anything in return.

281
00:20:45,146 --> 00:20:46,437
You needn't do so.

282
00:20:47,521 --> 00:20:50,062
To cure is to perform
a healer's highest duty.

283
00:20:57,562 --> 00:20:58,604
All right, then.

284
00:20:59,937 --> 00:21:01,729
I'll reside in your village
for a few days.

285
00:21:04,729 --> 00:21:05,729
We are saved!

286
00:21:10,812 --> 00:21:12,061
Onward.

287
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:13,271
After you.

288
00:22:15,062 --> 00:22:16,979
Father's here. You're all right.

289
00:22:17,521 --> 00:22:19,021
All is well, child.

290
00:22:20,021 --> 00:22:24,604
I dreamt of a strange man
gripping a scary wooden doll.

291
00:22:29,187 --> 00:22:30,396
Look at me.

292
00:22:31,229 --> 00:22:33,353
You only had a nightmare.

293
00:22:33,354 --> 00:22:35,437
I know my girl is fiercer than one.

294
00:22:36,271 --> 00:22:37,646
Don't be afraid, yes?

295
00:22:40,312 --> 00:22:43,354
Our village will soon
greet a wonder healer.

296
00:22:43,979 --> 00:22:45,937
I'll present him to the villagers.

297
00:22:47,021 --> 00:22:49,396
Freshen yourself up
then meet me at the yard.

298
00:22:50,479 --> 00:22:51,604
Good girl.

299
00:23:22,562 --> 00:23:26,979
- A stranger.
- Who? Who is it?

300
00:23:31,187 --> 00:23:34,395
- Who's that?
- Why is he here?

301
00:23:34,396 --> 00:23:35,562
My villagers!

302
00:23:37,646 --> 00:23:40,812
I know we don't welcome strangers,

303
00:23:41,812 --> 00:23:44,479
but I also know that certain matters

304
00:23:45,104 --> 00:23:46,771
are by Heaven's design.

305
00:23:48,146 --> 00:23:49,229
Like today,

306
00:23:49,937 --> 00:23:52,979
I, Lỗ Đạt, welcome this outsider.

307
00:23:55,021 --> 00:23:56,229
If I may present?

308
00:23:57,146 --> 00:23:58,853
This is Thân Đức,

309
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:01,562
a wonder healer from the Imperial City.

310
00:24:06,979 --> 00:24:10,479
Brother Đạt! But it is a rule
we don't permit strangers!

311
00:24:15,062 --> 00:24:16,812
I hear your concern.

312
00:24:17,979 --> 00:24:19,104
But in truth,

313
00:24:20,229 --> 00:24:22,811
he knows of a remedy

314
00:24:22,812 --> 00:24:24,312
that can cure our leprosy.

315
00:24:34,312 --> 00:24:36,895
Nhậm is cured, all.

316
00:24:36,896 --> 00:24:39,479
Amid diseased air,
we've prayed for relief.

317
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:42,311
I hope you'll open up

318
00:24:42,312 --> 00:24:44,728
and let relief briefly be with us.

319
00:24:44,729 --> 00:24:47,478
He will cure us all.

320
00:24:47,479 --> 00:24:50,520
But he is not one of us!

321
00:24:50,521 --> 00:24:52,729
What if the guards come here?

322
00:25:04,062 --> 00:25:06,396
Your worries are sound.

323
00:25:07,854 --> 00:25:10,228
But now that we've found hope,

324
00:25:10,229 --> 00:25:11,687
let's not refuse it.

325
00:25:12,562 --> 00:25:13,729
Thank you, Elder.

326
00:25:15,896 --> 00:25:17,478
Dusk approaches.

327
00:25:17,479 --> 00:25:20,229
Right! You may resume your routines.

328
00:25:27,271 --> 00:25:30,479
This is Elder Ban.
Here, we trust him most.

329
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:32,771
Yes. Greetings, Elder.

330
00:25:33,771 --> 00:25:35,520
What is your age, son?

331
00:25:35,521 --> 00:25:37,812
I just turned 20.

332
00:25:40,937 --> 00:25:42,853
"In youth, much light."

333
00:25:42,854 --> 00:25:45,770
Our leper village is indebted to you.

334
00:25:45,771 --> 00:25:46,812
Yes.

335
00:25:48,021 --> 00:25:49,021
Father!

336
00:25:49,979 --> 00:25:50,937
Come, dear.

337
00:26:00,187 --> 00:26:01,062
What is wrong?

338
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:06,770
This is Nguyệt, my daughter.

339
00:26:06,771 --> 00:26:07,979
Like "the moon".

340
00:26:10,354 --> 00:26:11,687
Such a pretty name.

341
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:14,062
Nguyệt.

342
00:26:14,646 --> 00:26:16,646
Where are your manners?

343
00:26:20,354 --> 00:26:21,896
I've taught you better, huh?

344
00:26:22,937 --> 00:26:24,437
Be like this again

345
00:26:25,437 --> 00:26:27,228
and you'll be scolded. Are we clear?

346
00:26:27,229 --> 00:26:28,896
Right. Get inside.

347
00:26:35,271 --> 00:26:36,896
- Let's get you home, Elder.
- Right.

348
00:26:37,562 --> 00:26:38,646
- Come along?
- Yes.

349
00:26:52,937 --> 00:26:54,520
- Cheers!
- Yes.

350
00:26:54,521 --> 00:26:55,646
And to you, Elder.

351
00:27:00,021 --> 00:27:02,895
I'll be frank. When I saw you
in the woods all alone,

352
00:27:02,896 --> 00:27:05,561
I doubted you and suspected you.

353
00:27:05,562 --> 00:27:06,979
I beg your pardon.

354
00:27:07,604 --> 00:27:09,895
Right. Just a misunderstanding.

355
00:27:09,896 --> 00:27:13,020
Elder Ban! Brother Đạt! Something's wrong!

356
00:27:13,021 --> 00:27:15,562
- What is it?
- Đen's wife is possessed.

357
00:27:16,271 --> 00:27:19,270
She was destroying things.
Even bit Đen's arm, too.

358
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,145
- Have we called Lady Trúc Anh?
- Yes!

359
00:27:21,146 --> 00:27:22,853
Her sister and her are doing the exorcism.

360
00:27:22,854 --> 00:27:25,604
But the demon is too powerful.

361
00:28:15,229 --> 00:28:18,187
Tainted womb! Barren blood!

362
00:28:19,771 --> 00:28:21,021
Why save such trash?

363
00:28:30,896 --> 00:28:31,771
My dear!

364
00:28:43,187 --> 00:28:45,479
You whore of a priestess!

365
00:29:55,062 --> 00:29:57,604
Stop! Why are you hurting my wife?

366
00:30:53,062 --> 00:30:54,103
Đen?

367
00:30:54,104 --> 00:30:56,936
For the next few days,
just tend to your wife

368
00:30:56,937 --> 00:30:58,854
and your wound.

369
00:30:59,854 --> 00:31:02,937
It is late now. Return to your homes.

370
00:31:03,771 --> 00:31:07,396
Please, go home, Elder.
Let the youth manage the rest.

371
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:20,604
Trúc Anh? Mộng Yên?

372
00:32:21,146 --> 00:32:22,187
Please hold.

373
00:32:25,437 --> 00:32:28,395
Greetings, Anh.
May I bother you two a bit?

374
00:32:28,396 --> 00:32:30,312
May I present Thân Đức?

375
00:32:31,187 --> 00:32:33,978
And these are the Đào Sisters,
children of priestesses,

376
00:32:33,979 --> 00:32:35,604
masters of rituals and ceremonies.

377
00:32:36,187 --> 00:32:39,521
They also purge minor ills.
Or demons, as you saw earlier.

378
00:32:40,687 --> 00:32:42,646
Đào Trúc Anh and Đào Mộng Yên.

379
00:32:44,979 --> 00:32:45,854
I'm Thân Đức.

380
00:32:46,646 --> 00:32:47,854
This afternoon, at the yard,

381
00:32:48,604 --> 00:32:50,062
I didn't move to greet you two.

382
00:32:51,812 --> 00:32:53,229
Please forgive me.

383
00:32:54,187 --> 00:32:57,104
We were gathering herbs
and didn't return until sundown.

384
00:32:57,687 --> 00:33:01,479
As for your presence,
we have been well-notified.

385
00:33:03,604 --> 00:33:04,812
You've committed no fault.

386
00:33:08,896 --> 00:33:09,979
Priestess Anh.

387
00:33:10,562 --> 00:33:11,646
Are you well?

388
00:33:15,146 --> 00:33:16,521
I know of this great remedy.

389
00:33:17,229 --> 00:33:18,562
It will replenish you.

390
00:33:19,146 --> 00:33:21,146
May I brew some for you?

391
00:33:21,979 --> 00:33:23,021
There's no need.

392
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:26,562
- Let's head home.
- Yes, sister.

393
00:33:34,104 --> 00:33:35,771
- Bùi Minh!
- Yes?

394
00:33:37,312 --> 00:33:38,396
Right.

395
00:33:39,354 --> 00:33:41,604
Mộng Yên! Let me escort you two.

396
00:33:45,187 --> 00:33:46,187
Onward.

397
00:33:53,937 --> 00:33:55,271
It's tough to fathom

398
00:33:55,896 --> 00:33:58,104
how cursed the land around the village is!

399
00:34:00,521 --> 00:34:01,687
Long ago,

400
00:34:02,521 --> 00:34:05,020
our ancestors lived
close to the Imperial City.

401
00:34:05,021 --> 00:34:07,562
<i>The Chief and other Elders</i>

402
00:34:08,187 --> 00:34:10,229
<i>then moved to find new grounds.</i>

403
00:34:10,771 --> 00:34:14,396
They decided to settle here.

404
00:34:18,104 --> 00:34:22,187
Healthy villagers will have
their ashes contained here.

405
00:34:33,271 --> 00:34:35,062
Those with leprosy

406
00:34:35,771 --> 00:34:37,229
will be taken here.

407
00:34:38,646 --> 00:34:40,229
<i>The Hall of Eyes.</i>

408
00:34:41,687 --> 00:34:44,186
<i>It's a dead forest</i>

409
00:34:44,187 --> 00:34:46,062
<i>with eyes on every tree.</i>

410
00:34:46,854 --> 00:34:48,436
<i>If you look at them,</i>

411
00:34:48,437 --> 00:34:51,354
<i>you'll go insane and die shortly.</i>

412
00:34:51,937 --> 00:34:54,895
<i>When sending off the dead,
the living must cover their eyes</i>

413
00:34:54,896 --> 00:34:56,229
<i>before entry.</i>

414
00:34:59,604 --> 00:35:01,854
In general, this area is forbidden.

415
00:35:08,062 --> 00:35:09,103
Let's go!

416
00:35:09,104 --> 00:35:12,979
Tomorrow, I'll let you treat
some of us in the secluded shed.

417
00:35:38,437 --> 00:35:39,437
Trúc Anh?

418
00:35:40,437 --> 00:35:41,979
You're not resting?

419
00:35:42,937 --> 00:35:43,854
Mind me not.

420
00:35:44,646 --> 00:35:46,271
The health of others is more crucial.

421
00:35:50,771 --> 00:35:52,604
Sơn flared up yesterday.

422
00:36:10,146 --> 00:36:12,729
His bones have rotten.
Made the nasal bridge fell.

423
00:36:23,437 --> 00:36:24,646
Are you all right?

424
00:36:27,146 --> 00:36:28,354
You've been bitten.

425
00:36:28,937 --> 00:36:30,271
Are you hurt?

426
00:36:30,896 --> 00:36:31,896
I am well.

427
00:36:46,062 --> 00:36:49,270
Thân Đức! Please. Please save me!

428
00:36:49,271 --> 00:36:51,770
I beg you, save me! Don't let me die!

429
00:36:51,771 --> 00:36:54,021
<i>Please save me!</i>

430
00:38:50,271 --> 00:38:53,186
Brother Đạt! Too many of us have died.

431
00:38:53,187 --> 00:38:55,729
You are our chief.
Think of a way to save us!

432
00:38:56,771 --> 00:38:58,521
Your dread is rational.

433
00:39:00,437 --> 00:39:01,895
But this sickness

434
00:39:01,896 --> 00:39:04,437
is not a matter to solve overnight.

435
00:39:05,729 --> 00:39:07,186
As if you know better!

436
00:39:07,187 --> 00:39:09,395
Yet you brought an outside healer in.

437
00:39:09,396 --> 00:39:11,478
Has he done us any good,

438
00:39:11,479 --> 00:39:12,770
or is he all talk?

439
00:39:12,771 --> 00:39:14,271
Enough, all!

440
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,104
We can't fault Thân Đức for this.

441
00:39:18,896 --> 00:39:20,854
He hasn't been with us long,

442
00:39:21,521 --> 00:39:24,146
and he is no deity
who can cure us outright.

443
00:39:24,771 --> 00:39:27,562
As your chief, it pains me greatly

444
00:39:28,771 --> 00:39:31,146
to see my villagers
fall one by one like this.

445
00:39:33,521 --> 00:39:35,146
Brother Đạt and all, fret no more!

446
00:39:40,437 --> 00:39:42,312
I, Thân Đức, have great news for all.

447
00:39:43,771 --> 00:39:45,853
- Oh? Sơn!
- Sơn!

448
00:39:45,854 --> 00:39:49,145
- My dear!
- How is Sơn here?

449
00:39:49,146 --> 00:39:51,771
- It is Sơn!
- They said you were dead!

450
00:39:54,521 --> 00:39:55,479
My love?

451
00:39:59,812 --> 00:40:01,354
You've recovered!

452
00:40:05,062 --> 00:40:07,146
Thân Đức is a wonder healer!

453
00:40:11,771 --> 00:40:15,811
- We are saved!
- We'll be well!

454
00:40:15,812 --> 00:40:18,396
- We will be saved!
- What a wonder healer!

455
00:40:28,312 --> 00:40:30,354
- Savior!
- Wonder healer!

456
00:41:08,354 --> 00:41:10,770
- Thân Đức! Deliver us!
- Deliver us!

457
00:41:10,771 --> 00:41:13,270
- Save me!
- Thân Đức! Save me!

458
00:41:13,271 --> 00:41:14,896
- Save me!
- Me too!

459
00:41:38,229 --> 00:41:39,896
Hey! Wait, wait.

460
00:42:00,312 --> 00:42:03,479
For the rest of the way, we'll use a boat.

461
00:42:04,062 --> 00:42:04,937
What?

462
00:42:06,562 --> 00:42:09,353
No! I'd rather use my feet!

463
00:42:09,354 --> 00:42:12,187
By water is the only way
to reach my village.

464
00:42:14,604 --> 00:42:17,896
Your village, or somewhere hellbound?

465
00:42:21,187 --> 00:42:22,146
Heavens!

466
00:42:24,104 --> 00:42:25,354
It's just like that story!

467
00:44:07,437 --> 00:44:09,354
There is one thing I don't get.

468
00:44:10,604 --> 00:44:14,062
Why did Lord Ligneous wear
the Emperor's guise to meet the Prince?

469
00:44:15,896 --> 00:44:17,604
Because my dream showed me

470
00:44:18,396 --> 00:44:20,396
that Lord Ligneous is greatly weakened.

471
00:44:21,146 --> 00:44:24,186
It used the last of its essence
to meet the Prince

472
00:44:24,187 --> 00:44:26,271
and get him to do its bidding.

473
00:44:31,479 --> 00:44:32,687
But truth be told...

474
00:44:35,604 --> 00:44:38,104
I've no desire to dream such dreams.

475
00:44:43,312 --> 00:44:44,854
My sole dream

476
00:44:46,604 --> 00:44:49,104
is to see my dear daughter.

477
00:44:50,604 --> 00:44:51,937
Just once will be worth it.

478
00:44:58,896 --> 00:45:00,521
You have a daughter as well?

479
00:45:02,521 --> 00:45:03,729
Don't mind that.

480
00:45:04,729 --> 00:45:06,062
Pretend I've been mute.

481
00:45:07,187 --> 00:45:08,312
Phan Cuồng?

482
00:45:09,187 --> 00:45:10,812
Do you ever think

483
00:45:12,604 --> 00:45:14,771
all the dreams you have had

484
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:17,646
are truths that have occurred?

485
00:45:19,271 --> 00:45:20,479
That, I know not.

486
00:45:23,812 --> 00:45:24,729
Enough drivel!

487
00:45:25,479 --> 00:45:26,521
Just hit the hay!

488
00:46:53,771 --> 00:47:03,062
All hail Lord Ligneous!
Long live our Lord! Long live you!

489
00:47:07,354 --> 00:47:08,853
<i>Thân Đức!</i>

490
00:47:08,854 --> 00:47:13,687
<i>Tonight, we shall be one, you and I.</i>

491
00:47:41,271 --> 00:47:42,311
Father!

492
00:47:42,312 --> 00:47:43,271
Run!

493
00:47:43,854 --> 00:47:47,312
- Father!
- Run, Nguyệt! Run!

494
00:47:50,771 --> 00:47:52,896
Father!

495
00:47:53,646 --> 00:47:54,812
Father!

496
00:47:56,104 --> 00:47:58,104
Father! Save me!

497
00:48:06,271 --> 00:48:07,146
Father!

498
00:48:09,271 --> 00:48:10,521
Father! Father!

499
00:48:14,229 --> 00:48:15,354
Father!

500
00:48:18,771 --> 00:48:20,021
Nguyệt!

501
00:48:21,646 --> 00:48:23,020
I'm here.

502
00:48:23,021 --> 00:48:25,562
You're all right. All is well, dear.

503
00:48:30,229 --> 00:48:32,062
I don't want to dream anymore.

504
00:48:33,146 --> 00:48:34,604
There's nothing but terror.

505
00:48:40,062 --> 00:48:41,104
I know, child.

506
00:48:42,687 --> 00:48:44,021
Let me find a way.

507
00:48:56,479 --> 00:48:57,562
Đạt?

508
00:49:03,812 --> 00:49:07,062
Our village lately
has seen too much devilry.

509
00:49:09,396 --> 00:49:11,271
It worries me to no end.

510
00:49:11,854 --> 00:49:15,062
First are Nguyệt's frequent nightmares.

511
00:49:16,562 --> 00:49:17,562
And then,

512
00:49:18,271 --> 00:49:20,229
the leprosy is cured with ease.

513
00:49:22,521 --> 00:49:25,396
Nguyệt told me about her newest nightmare.

514
00:49:40,979 --> 00:49:44,521
It sounded more terrifying
and bewildering than ever.

515
00:49:50,604 --> 00:49:54,437
This is quicklime.
It can ward off dark forces.

516
00:49:56,312 --> 00:49:57,854
Please pass this to Nguyệt for me.

517
00:50:05,187 --> 00:50:06,146
Thank you.

518
00:50:07,604 --> 00:50:10,562
I plan to host a hunt
the day after tomorrow.

519
00:50:11,354 --> 00:50:14,145
It's an excuse for me
to reach the Imperial City

520
00:50:14,146 --> 00:50:16,146
and find out who Thân Đức truly is.

521
00:50:22,937 --> 00:50:24,437
- All done?
- Yes.

522
00:50:31,396 --> 00:50:33,062
- Onward.
- Brother Đạt!

523
00:50:33,896 --> 00:50:35,937
Brother Đạt! Brother Đạt.

524
00:50:39,479 --> 00:50:40,686
I say

525
00:50:40,687 --> 00:50:42,936
you should postpone the hunt.

526
00:50:42,937 --> 00:50:44,936
Last night, I watched the stars,

527
00:50:44,937 --> 00:50:46,229
and there were bad signs.

528
00:50:46,979 --> 00:50:48,021
I'm afraid...

529
00:50:50,979 --> 00:50:53,354
if this hunt continues,
someone will be hurt.

530
00:50:54,354 --> 00:50:55,396
You...

531
00:50:57,479 --> 00:50:59,646
Do not interfere with our customs.

532
00:51:00,229 --> 00:51:01,437
Indeed, I shouldn't.

533
00:51:01,979 --> 00:51:03,479
But having seen warnings

534
00:51:04,271 --> 00:51:06,021
and hiding them from all?

535
00:51:06,687 --> 00:51:08,437
It'd make me a sinner before all.

536
00:51:13,104 --> 00:51:14,396
- Brother Đạt!
- Brother Đạt.

537
00:51:16,146 --> 00:51:18,771
We should postpone.
There's still enough food for--

538
00:51:26,729 --> 00:51:28,854
This isn't a matter
where your input is needed.

539
00:51:29,979 --> 00:51:31,187
I am the chief.

540
00:51:32,312 --> 00:51:33,812
Since I've brought you here,

541
00:51:34,479 --> 00:51:37,604
I sure can also
lead you out at any moment.

542
00:51:40,479 --> 00:51:41,437
Onward!

543
00:51:42,229 --> 00:51:43,354
Safe travels, all.

544
00:51:45,812 --> 00:51:47,187
I've said all I need to.

545
00:51:48,229 --> 00:51:49,354
Stay watchful!

546
00:51:54,687 --> 00:51:55,854
The village's matters...

547
00:51:57,646 --> 00:51:58,854
are briefly yours, Minh.

548
00:51:59,896 --> 00:52:00,812
Yes, Chief.

549
00:52:23,604 --> 00:52:27,937
THIRD CHAPTER: THE PALE TIGRESS

550
00:53:01,271 --> 00:53:03,229
Trúc Anh! Open your doors.

551
00:53:04,062 --> 00:53:05,187
Đạt.

552
00:53:48,104 --> 00:53:49,978
Did you really think

553
00:53:49,979 --> 00:53:51,854
that whip can hurt me?

554
00:54:13,021 --> 00:54:14,187
Hold his arms down!

555
00:54:17,187 --> 00:54:18,271
Go find...

556
00:54:23,479 --> 00:54:24,811
Find Thân Đức now!

557
00:54:24,812 --> 00:54:26,062
- Quickly!
- Yes!

558
00:54:31,146 --> 00:54:33,646
Brother Đạt! What is all this?

559
00:54:34,604 --> 00:54:36,271
We got lost during the hunt.

560
00:54:37,187 --> 00:54:39,478
We built a camp and waited for dawn.

561
00:54:39,479 --> 00:54:41,312
A wild tiger showed up!

562
00:54:41,896 --> 00:54:44,187
My dear? My dear! No!

563
00:54:46,896 --> 00:54:49,061
Đức did try to stop us from going.

564
00:54:49,062 --> 00:54:50,561
Why did we not heed him?

565
00:54:50,562 --> 00:54:51,896
Don't touch the wound!

566
00:54:53,604 --> 00:54:54,646
Leave it to me.

567
00:55:01,271 --> 00:55:02,396
All of you, back!

568
00:55:14,937 --> 00:55:16,312
Hold the wooden doll.

569
00:55:18,354 --> 00:55:19,479
He's quiet now.

570
00:55:21,021 --> 00:55:22,187
He stopped wailing!

571
00:55:25,521 --> 00:55:28,229
He was screaming, and he stopped!

572
00:55:30,187 --> 00:55:31,521
Look, he's sitting up.

573
00:55:32,604 --> 00:55:34,021
He's back with us!

574
00:55:40,562 --> 00:55:41,729
He could stand, too.

575
00:55:43,687 --> 00:55:45,271
He's standing fine!

576
00:55:46,187 --> 00:55:48,020
Thân Đức is a wonder!

577
00:55:48,021 --> 00:55:52,270
Imagine how worse we would get
had he not been here?

578
00:55:52,271 --> 00:55:53,395
- That's right!
- True!

579
00:55:53,396 --> 00:55:56,687
I propose we make Thân Đức our new chief.

580
00:55:57,271 --> 00:56:00,186
From now on, there's no more need
to heed Lỗ Đạt's words!

581
00:56:00,187 --> 00:56:02,436
- Indeed!
- Chief Thân Đức!

582
00:56:02,437 --> 00:56:07,021
- Chief Thân Đức!
- Chief Thân Đức!

583
00:56:10,146 --> 00:56:11,437
There is one among us

584
00:56:13,312 --> 00:56:14,687
who is demonic!

585
00:56:15,312 --> 00:56:16,604
There is no such thing.

586
00:56:21,396 --> 00:56:23,353
Even the entity expelled from Đen's wife

587
00:56:23,354 --> 00:56:25,479
is related to that demon.

588
00:56:26,354 --> 00:56:27,937
It'll try to gain your trust.

589
00:56:30,021 --> 00:56:31,229
Do you suspect anyone?

590
00:56:36,771 --> 00:56:38,187
Could it be Lỗ Đạt?

591
00:56:41,146 --> 00:56:42,562
Is it Lỗ Đạt?

592
00:56:43,396 --> 00:56:44,646
Could it be him?

593
00:56:47,896 --> 00:56:48,771
Thân Đức!

594
00:56:50,354 --> 00:56:51,854
What do you seek here?

595
00:56:54,104 --> 00:56:56,312
Naturally, I want
to cure all from leprosy.

596
00:56:58,271 --> 00:56:59,687
But some of your actions

597
00:57:00,312 --> 00:57:02,437
are beyond acceptable grounds!

598
00:57:03,062 --> 00:57:04,145
Brother Đạt!

599
00:57:04,146 --> 00:57:06,354
There is a demon possessing people here.

600
00:57:07,437 --> 00:57:08,771
It is sowing its evil here,

601
00:57:09,437 --> 00:57:10,353
dividing us in the process.

602
00:57:10,354 --> 00:57:12,479
You are the one who's dividing us!

603
00:57:19,146 --> 00:57:20,562
You tell me where else

604
00:57:21,229 --> 00:57:22,479
I can find

605
00:57:23,229 --> 00:57:25,229
another healer curing leprosy

606
00:57:25,771 --> 00:57:27,354
using a wooden doll?

607
00:57:29,312 --> 00:57:31,021
This is dark magic!

608
00:57:35,437 --> 00:57:36,437
Dark magic?

609
00:57:59,271 --> 00:58:00,687
Name it however you wish,

610
00:58:01,687 --> 00:58:02,812
but at the very least,

611
00:58:04,187 --> 00:58:05,854
I'm helping the villagers.

612
00:58:07,937 --> 00:58:09,104
What have you done?

613
00:58:16,229 --> 00:58:18,229
A chief without the will to act,

614
00:58:20,479 --> 00:58:23,396
and yet he's blaming
a man with plenty of it?

615
00:58:29,521 --> 00:58:30,604
I'll be very clear.

616
00:58:33,187 --> 00:58:35,229
If you hurt any of my villagers,

617
00:58:36,896 --> 00:58:38,396
I'll rain my wrath upon you!

618
00:58:44,812 --> 00:58:45,896
It seems like...

619
00:58:47,437 --> 00:58:48,771
the village chief

620
00:58:49,812 --> 00:58:51,229
is green with envy.

621
00:58:55,229 --> 00:58:56,312
Is he?

622
00:58:59,396 --> 00:59:00,562
In our first encounter,

623
00:59:01,812 --> 00:59:04,104
you said you were
gathering herbs in this area.

624
00:59:05,312 --> 00:59:06,312
Tomorrow,

625
00:59:07,437 --> 00:59:09,812
I will grant you six hours to find them.

626
00:59:11,104 --> 00:59:12,229
Come noon,

627
00:59:14,187 --> 00:59:16,729
I will arrange a man
to take you away from us.

628
00:59:45,229 --> 00:59:46,937
My man, slow down. Sir! Hold it.

629
00:59:47,521 --> 00:59:48,479
Slow down.

630
00:59:51,729 --> 00:59:54,020
Brother Dog! I beg you, Mad Dog!

631
00:59:54,021 --> 00:59:55,646
Brother Dog, please spare me.

632
00:59:56,687 --> 00:59:57,979
I've returned you the deposit.

633
01:00:01,229 --> 01:00:02,936
We sealed the deal.

634
01:00:02,937 --> 01:00:04,436
You'll need to do more to back out.

635
01:00:04,437 --> 01:00:07,271
Mister! I beg you. I beg you! Please!

636
01:00:08,062 --> 01:00:10,896
Even with more coins, I still won't go
to where the lepers live!

637
01:00:13,021 --> 01:00:14,312
So you've figured it out

638
01:00:14,812 --> 01:00:16,396
that you're a Soul Drifter

639
01:00:17,146 --> 01:00:19,021
and that I am the chief?

640
01:00:19,729 --> 01:00:20,771
Let me be clear.

641
01:00:21,479 --> 01:00:24,021
I don't know who is "drifting your soul"
or whatever the hell!

642
01:00:25,187 --> 01:00:26,687
Please, let me go!

643
01:00:27,271 --> 01:00:29,436
Should I call you "sir"? Sir Dog!

644
01:00:29,437 --> 01:00:32,395
Sir Dog, please spare me.
Let me return home.

645
01:00:32,396 --> 01:00:34,311
I have a wife, a kid.

646
01:00:34,312 --> 01:00:37,770
Neighbors who adore me.
Elders waiting for me.

647
01:00:37,771 --> 01:00:39,186
Ah, and my dogs!

648
01:00:39,187 --> 01:00:41,061
Dog is in your name. You love dogs, yes?

649
01:00:41,062 --> 01:00:43,979
Since I'm with you, my dogs
haven't been fed. It hurts me so!

650
01:00:46,396 --> 01:00:47,895
Sir Dog!

651
01:00:47,896 --> 01:00:49,312
No, don't! Hang on!

652
01:00:54,812 --> 01:00:56,186
Hey.

653
01:00:56,187 --> 01:01:00,729
Me putting "sir" before the "dog"
means I've been really nice!

654
01:01:01,396 --> 01:01:04,854
Seems like you don't like niceness!
You mutt, let me go at once!

655
01:01:06,271 --> 01:01:08,770
Scarred dog! Wounded dog! Hurt dog!

656
01:01:08,771 --> 01:01:09,937
Release me!

657
01:01:24,396 --> 01:01:25,479
Sorry,

658
01:01:26,229 --> 01:01:27,979
but you are trapped with me,

659
01:01:29,479 --> 01:01:31,646
for only a Soul Drifter

660
01:01:32,229 --> 01:01:33,812
can save my daughter.

661
01:01:36,479 --> 01:01:37,562
You must be mad.

662
01:01:38,271 --> 01:01:40,021
When did I call myself a Soul Drifter?

663
01:01:40,937 --> 01:01:44,020
Heavens above! All of my stories
are just my dreams!

664
01:01:44,021 --> 01:01:45,936
None of them are true!

665
01:01:45,937 --> 01:01:47,021
Oh, gods!

666
01:02:56,271 --> 01:02:57,686
Dear elder,

667
01:02:57,687 --> 01:03:01,312
I believe there's devilry
in Thân Đức's treatment.

668
01:03:02,312 --> 01:03:05,562
His remedy and this wooden doll
are wicked.

669
01:03:14,812 --> 01:03:16,478
<i>When we held that funeral,</i>

670
01:03:16,479 --> 01:03:18,687
<i>he was bitten on the wrist!</i>

671
01:03:19,562 --> 01:03:21,646
But the wound has disappeared!

672
01:03:22,687 --> 01:03:25,187
Surely, he has used dark magic.

673
01:03:26,812 --> 01:03:27,896
Who's there?

674
01:03:59,229 --> 01:04:00,146
Sơn?

675
01:04:00,687 --> 01:04:02,187
Oh, no. I took the bait!

676
01:04:12,437 --> 01:04:13,312
My gods!

677
01:04:14,021 --> 01:04:15,145
Who has done this?

678
01:04:15,146 --> 01:04:17,270
Elder Ban! Can you hear me?

679
01:04:17,271 --> 01:04:18,896
Elder! No, Elder!

680
01:04:19,812 --> 01:04:20,854
Heavens.

681
01:04:21,521 --> 01:04:22,437
Elder Ban!

682
01:04:23,812 --> 01:04:24,687
Elder Ban.

683
01:04:26,979 --> 01:04:28,312
What happened, Elder Ban?

684
01:04:31,062 --> 01:04:33,604
Elder Ban. Who did this to you?

685
01:04:37,771 --> 01:04:38,604
Seize him now!

686
01:05:27,604 --> 01:05:30,020
What's going on?

687
01:05:30,021 --> 01:05:31,645
Badness at Elder Ban's!

688
01:05:31,646 --> 01:05:35,271
The dark magic can still be felt.
Please stay away!

689
01:05:43,271 --> 01:05:44,271
You.

690
01:05:45,562 --> 01:05:47,396
What do you seek in this village?

691
01:05:52,187 --> 01:05:53,312
I seek your daughter.

692
01:05:54,854 --> 01:05:55,771
Lỗ Thị Nguyệt.

693
01:05:57,146 --> 01:05:59,854
Did she not say
she'd often have nightmares?

694
01:06:00,562 --> 01:06:02,396
All Soul Drifters share that.

695
01:06:03,729 --> 01:06:04,937
I need to have her

696
01:06:05,854 --> 01:06:07,104
to save my Father,

697
01:06:08,812 --> 01:06:10,021
Lord Ligneous.

698
01:06:11,604 --> 01:06:13,520
Lord Ligneous?

699
01:06:13,521 --> 01:06:14,562
Yes.

700
01:06:15,562 --> 01:06:17,395
The Sendan tree in the Hall of Eyes?

701
01:06:17,396 --> 01:06:19,396
It is where Father's body lies.

702
01:06:21,896 --> 01:06:23,229
On the next moonless night,

703
01:06:23,937 --> 01:06:25,812
seven stars will then parade.

704
01:06:27,104 --> 01:06:28,728
No finer time

705
01:06:28,729 --> 01:06:30,979
to kill your girl and free my father.

706
01:06:35,854 --> 01:06:39,021
You. Don't you harm my daughter!

707
01:06:45,479 --> 01:06:47,521
It's rare to see you beg, Chief Đạt.

708
01:06:53,479 --> 01:06:54,521
Very well.

709
01:06:55,146 --> 01:06:57,228
Go find this Soul Drifter.

710
01:06:57,229 --> 01:06:59,021
He will be killed in your girl's stead.

711
01:07:00,479 --> 01:07:03,271
He's quite the storyteller,
living in the Imperial City.

712
01:07:03,854 --> 01:07:06,687
He has a skull-shaped bump
on his nape like your girl.

713
01:07:08,104 --> 01:07:09,603
But know that time is short.

714
01:07:09,604 --> 01:07:10,812
Know that

715
01:07:11,812 --> 01:07:14,021
he must be here before the stars parade.

716
01:07:18,937 --> 01:07:20,187
Let me give you an out.

717
01:07:21,562 --> 01:07:24,854
But whether you make it out,
that's a different matter.

718
01:08:03,604 --> 01:08:04,853
No!

719
01:08:04,854 --> 01:08:06,520
Father did not kill Elder Ban!

720
01:08:06,521 --> 01:08:09,603
No chief would hurt his villagers!

721
01:08:09,604 --> 01:08:11,270
Father! Father!

722
01:08:11,271 --> 01:08:13,562
Father!

723
01:08:14,187 --> 01:08:17,020
Father! Father! Father!

724
01:08:17,021 --> 01:08:19,104
- The elder died!
- Father.

725
01:08:39,187 --> 01:08:40,187
This Lỗ Đạt

726
01:08:42,187 --> 01:08:43,062
is a menace!

727
01:10:01,562 --> 01:10:03,521
I once had a happy family.

728
01:10:05,937 --> 01:10:07,312
But I couldn't keep it.

729
01:10:09,396 --> 01:10:11,062
All would become smoke.

730
01:10:13,146 --> 01:10:15,021
My wife rewedded a rich governor.

731
01:10:17,187 --> 01:10:19,979
And my girl, she missed her mother so much

732
01:10:21,396 --> 01:10:22,562
and passed away.

733
01:10:28,187 --> 01:10:29,229
But then,

734
01:10:30,187 --> 01:10:31,479
"Blame first thyself

735
01:10:33,146 --> 01:10:34,396
before thy neighbor."

736
01:10:36,437 --> 01:10:39,104
Perhaps I've been wicked in my past life,

737
01:10:40,896 --> 01:10:43,187
so now I am footing the bill.

738
01:10:45,354 --> 01:10:46,854
"Blame first thyself

739
01:10:47,937 --> 01:10:49,396
before thy neighbor."

740
01:13:11,604 --> 01:13:13,770
<i>Excellent, my Seed!</i>

741
01:13:13,771 --> 01:13:15,478
<i>Remember,</i>

742
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,145
<i>as my cult revives me,</i>

743
01:13:18,146 --> 01:13:21,145
<i>a wrestling match, there has to be!</i>

744
01:13:21,146 --> 01:13:24,770
<i>As the crowd rages and roars,</i>

745
01:13:24,771 --> 01:13:27,812
<i>the seal of the Sendan tree will shatter.</i>

746
01:13:28,771 --> 01:13:29,896
Is it true that

747
01:13:30,562 --> 01:13:32,395
I will meet you and Mother?

748
01:13:32,396 --> 01:13:35,771
<i>Thân Đức! Again, you're doubting me?</i>

749
01:13:36,812 --> 01:13:41,687
<i>Don't weaken yourself
like those mortals would.</i>

750
01:13:42,979 --> 01:13:45,229
<i>Feast on the Pale Tigress.</i>

751
01:13:46,062 --> 01:13:49,145
<i>Her blood and flesh</i>

752
01:13:49,146 --> 01:13:52,646
<i>will grant you your strength.</i>

753
01:13:55,562 --> 01:13:56,562
Thân Đức?

754
01:14:05,646 --> 01:14:08,146
I don't believe Brother Đạt
can commit such horrors.

755
01:14:10,021 --> 01:14:11,937
Something doesn't add up here.

756
01:14:15,937 --> 01:14:17,021
I, too, can't believe it.

757
01:14:18,604 --> 01:14:20,436
But it is all so clear.

758
01:14:20,437 --> 01:14:22,146
Denying it is futile.

759
01:14:31,146 --> 01:14:33,354
But the Đạt I know would never do this!

760
01:14:34,854 --> 01:14:36,896
At first, we all know kind.

761
01:14:39,604 --> 01:14:42,437
Then some will learn how it can fade.

762
01:14:45,646 --> 01:14:46,937
All mortals change.

763
01:14:48,187 --> 01:14:49,729
It's natural to alter.

764
01:14:54,312 --> 01:14:55,479
Should the day arrive

765
01:14:56,562 --> 01:14:57,812
when I become different,

766
01:15:03,062 --> 01:15:04,104
will you scorn me?

767
01:15:11,062 --> 01:15:11,979
Đức!

768
01:15:13,312 --> 01:15:14,562
Give me the truth now.

769
01:15:17,021 --> 01:15:19,271
All the devilry we've seen of late,

770
01:15:22,312 --> 01:15:24,479
do they link to you in any way?

771
01:15:26,812 --> 01:15:27,896
They do.

772
01:15:31,687 --> 01:15:32,979
Since my arrival,

773
01:15:34,687 --> 01:15:36,437
wicked things keep on unfolding.

774
01:15:38,854 --> 01:15:40,187
That's a coincidence

775
01:15:41,146 --> 01:15:42,562
I have no explanation for.

776
01:15:45,062 --> 01:15:46,312
I...

777
01:16:09,729 --> 01:16:11,437
Is this the Pale Tigress mark?

778
01:16:13,062 --> 01:16:13,937
Yes!

779
01:16:18,896 --> 01:16:21,021
She who is marked will harm her man.

780
01:16:22,937 --> 01:16:24,479
Do you fear me now?

781
01:18:13,562 --> 01:18:15,396
Must be a shock, I bet?

782
01:18:17,146 --> 01:18:18,812
Your weak magic

783
01:18:19,562 --> 01:18:22,228
has failed to detect
that Lord Ligneous' Seed

784
01:18:22,229 --> 01:18:24,229
is here among you all!

785
01:19:16,146 --> 01:19:18,104
You fear the smell of burnt hair.

786
01:19:29,687 --> 01:19:31,062
You think you can kill me?

787
01:20:09,687 --> 01:20:10,812
My villagers!

788
01:20:11,979 --> 01:20:13,812
Priestess Anh has gone demonic!

789
01:20:15,937 --> 01:20:17,687
Discard her in the Hall of Eyes!

790
01:21:12,646 --> 01:21:14,271
It's me. Just me.

791
01:21:18,854 --> 01:21:20,021
Why find me again?

792
01:21:21,896 --> 01:21:23,271
Brother Dog! Ah, no.

793
01:21:24,021 --> 01:21:24,979
Brother Đạt!

794
01:21:25,521 --> 01:21:26,729
Get me to the village,

795
01:21:27,271 --> 01:21:28,645
then we'll save your daughter.

796
01:21:28,646 --> 01:21:31,021
You could lose your life.

797
01:21:31,937 --> 01:21:34,645
- Don't you fear death?
- If I am,

798
01:21:34,646 --> 01:21:37,228
then I'd love to die honorably!

799
01:21:37,229 --> 01:21:40,437
So later, when I meet my daughter,

800
01:21:42,021 --> 01:21:43,854
she will be proud of me.

801
01:21:45,854 --> 01:21:47,645
But let me devise a plan

802
01:21:47,646 --> 01:21:49,561
to save your little Nguyệt.

803
01:21:49,562 --> 01:21:51,395
If not, we'll return

804
01:21:51,396 --> 01:21:53,396
and die together. That will be silly!

805
01:21:58,396 --> 01:21:59,437
- That's it.
- Huh?

806
01:22:00,021 --> 01:22:02,228
Like before, drift your soul
into my village

807
01:22:02,229 --> 01:22:04,270
and let me know what's going on.

808
01:22:04,271 --> 01:22:05,562
That's true!

809
01:22:06,146 --> 01:22:07,812
How did I not think of that?

810
01:22:08,354 --> 01:22:09,812
To drift, I must sleep!

811
01:22:10,979 --> 01:22:12,479
Thing is, I am not sleepy!

812
01:22:15,021 --> 01:22:16,604
- I have this remedy.
- Where?

813
01:22:18,021 --> 01:22:18,937
Drift away.

814
01:22:33,354 --> 01:22:34,396
Phan Cuồng!

815
01:22:35,062 --> 01:22:35,979
Phan Cuồng!

816
01:22:43,146 --> 01:22:45,229
Sorry! I had to improvise.

817
01:22:46,896 --> 01:22:48,729
All is well. Stings a bit.

818
01:22:50,521 --> 01:22:53,312
Earlier, from all that I saw,

819
01:22:54,104 --> 01:22:55,729
Nguyệt is still in your home.

820
01:22:56,354 --> 01:22:58,271
But many people are guarding her.

821
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:01,437
Well, then...

822
01:23:02,104 --> 01:23:03,395
I know how to rescue her.

823
01:23:03,396 --> 01:23:04,396
How?

824
01:23:05,729 --> 01:23:07,311
There's another path to enter the village.

825
01:23:07,312 --> 01:23:09,478
Only the hunters and I know it.

826
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:10,854
- Onward, then!
- Right.

827
01:23:50,396 --> 01:23:51,771
Wait for me here.

828
01:25:25,146 --> 01:25:26,062
Father!

829
01:25:54,396 --> 01:25:55,812
Phan Cuồng! Phan Cuồng!

830
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:04,771
This is little Nguyệt?

831
01:26:05,979 --> 01:26:07,021
Aren't you a beauty?

832
01:26:07,979 --> 01:26:10,936
Wait, what? Go! Let's go!

833
01:26:10,937 --> 01:26:12,770
Go on! Go!

834
01:26:12,771 --> 01:26:14,186
Go.

835
01:26:14,187 --> 01:26:15,312
Go!

836
01:26:17,021 --> 01:26:19,520
You get my girl out of this place.

837
01:26:19,521 --> 01:26:22,354
Father. Please come with me.

838
01:26:25,521 --> 01:26:26,979
My girl is now safe.

839
01:26:30,979 --> 01:26:32,687
But my villagers aren't yet.

840
01:26:34,062 --> 01:26:35,937
As I've brought doom to them,

841
01:26:37,104 --> 01:26:38,603
I'll be the one to expel it!

842
01:26:38,604 --> 01:26:39,604
Father!

843
01:26:40,854 --> 01:26:41,978
Đạt, listen to me.

844
01:26:41,979 --> 01:26:44,062
Brother Đạt! Why did you return?

845
01:26:44,687 --> 01:26:46,396
It's most dangerous here.

846
01:26:47,854 --> 01:26:49,561
- Father?
- Hey! Nguyệt.

847
01:26:49,562 --> 01:26:51,187
- Father!
- Nguyệt! Nguyệt!

848
01:26:56,729 --> 01:27:00,562
Đen? Take Nguyệt and Phan Cuồng
out of these woods.

849
01:27:06,771 --> 01:27:08,854
Welcome back, Chief Lỗ Đạt!

850
01:27:12,562 --> 01:27:14,228
Flee, everyone!

851
01:27:14,229 --> 01:27:15,437
- Đạt, look!
- Đen!

852
01:27:16,021 --> 01:27:17,146
What? No.

853
01:27:18,437 --> 01:27:20,687
Let's be friendly here.

854
01:27:24,271 --> 01:27:26,604
Did you really think,
to save Lord Ligneous,

855
01:27:27,229 --> 01:27:29,146
just one Soul Drifter will suffice?

856
01:27:30,104 --> 01:27:31,229
In this life,

857
01:27:31,729 --> 01:27:34,436
everything is paired, is twinned

858
01:27:34,437 --> 01:27:35,562
with the dark

859
01:27:36,229 --> 01:27:37,562
and the light.

860
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,021
We're dead, Đạt!

861
01:27:40,729 --> 01:27:42,229
We're caught in his trap!

862
01:27:47,937 --> 01:27:48,896
Fret not.

863
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:50,437
Come midnight,

864
01:27:51,021 --> 01:27:52,896
father and daughter will be reunited.

865
01:28:00,187 --> 01:28:01,146
Nguyệt.

866
01:28:18,396 --> 01:28:19,645
I've told you before!

867
01:28:19,646 --> 01:28:22,521
This prick is the most cunning.
But you insist on staying!

868
01:28:39,521 --> 01:28:40,562
Phan Cuồng.

869
01:28:42,771 --> 01:28:44,187
If I am lost,

870
01:28:45,896 --> 01:28:47,895
please hand this to my daughter.

871
01:28:47,896 --> 01:28:49,146
Pessimist! Pessimist!

872
01:28:52,896 --> 01:28:53,937
I'll keep this for now.

873
01:28:55,896 --> 01:28:57,604
You can give it to her yourself.

874
01:28:58,854 --> 01:29:00,271
Let me brew up a plan.

875
01:29:03,229 --> 01:29:05,271
Wait a bit, wait a bit. Brother Đạt?

876
01:29:06,187 --> 01:29:08,311
Do you recall, on our way here,

877
01:29:08,312 --> 01:29:10,771
I said I'd tell you
about the Prince's origins?

878
01:29:14,396 --> 01:29:16,353
<i>Once she became Empress,</i>

879
01:29:16,354 --> 01:29:21,061
<i>Tuệ Liễu performed a ritual
to mate with Lord Ligneous.</i>

880
01:29:21,062 --> 01:29:24,186
<i>She placed on a wooden doll,
wrapped in human hair,</i>

881
01:29:24,187 --> 01:29:27,895
<i>representing its roots and its form.</i>

882
01:29:27,896 --> 01:29:29,145
FINAL CHAPTER: SCENT OF BURNT HAIR

883
01:29:29,146 --> 01:29:31,145
<i>For a thousand years,</i>

884
01:29:31,146 --> 01:29:34,978
<i>my Lord has been sealed
within the Sendan tree,</i>

885
01:29:34,979 --> 01:29:39,229
<i>awaiting for a seed to revive you.</i>

886
01:29:40,021 --> 01:29:42,854
<i>Your waiting ends today, my Lord.</i>

887
01:30:40,021 --> 01:30:41,146
My Lord.

888
01:30:42,146 --> 01:30:44,146
I beg from you, one drop of blood,

889
01:30:44,729 --> 01:30:46,895
so I may birth you a seed

890
01:30:46,896 --> 01:30:49,562
and restore the Ligneous Cult!

891
01:31:36,771 --> 01:31:38,103
<i>In the struggle,</i>

892
01:31:38,104 --> 01:31:41,604
<i>the Eunuch swung into the wooden dolls.</i>

893
01:31:42,937 --> 01:31:45,479
<i>All the bundles of hair caught fire.</i>

894
01:32:16,562 --> 01:32:35,771
All hail Lord Ligneous!
Long live our Lord! Long live you!

895
01:33:14,604 --> 01:33:17,979
‎DEVIL

896
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:20,729
Only mere hours left

897
01:33:21,979 --> 01:33:24,021
before the Lord and his Seed are reunited!

898
01:33:25,354 --> 01:33:27,437
While the rest of you will go

899
01:33:29,021 --> 01:33:30,312
down to Hell's guts!

900
01:33:32,896 --> 01:33:34,396
In the Lord's summoning,

901
01:33:34,896 --> 01:33:36,646
two rituals will be carried out.

902
01:33:38,687 --> 01:33:40,271
First, a wrestling match.

903
01:33:42,062 --> 01:33:43,562
Then, a sacrifice.

904
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:47,896
Father!

905
01:33:49,771 --> 01:33:53,271
I have readied everything to revive you!

906
01:33:54,687 --> 01:33:56,354
Your waiting ends now!

907
01:37:04,646 --> 01:37:05,854
Well done!

908
01:37:23,979 --> 01:37:26,854
Thân Đức! Release my daughter!

909
01:37:45,646 --> 01:37:47,771
Father! Father!

910
01:37:52,354 --> 01:37:55,978
Father!

911
01:37:55,979 --> 01:37:57,146
Lỗ Đạt.

912
01:37:57,896 --> 01:37:58,937
Don't die just yet.

913
01:38:00,021 --> 01:38:01,229
I need you to see

914
01:38:01,896 --> 01:38:03,604
how I'll offer your girl to my Lord.

915
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:08,646
Thân Đức!

916
01:38:12,021 --> 01:38:14,896
Father!

917
01:38:36,354 --> 01:38:37,437
Lỗ Thị Nguyệt.

918
01:38:46,229 --> 01:38:47,229
Thân Đức!

919
01:38:49,229 --> 01:38:51,936
Won't sacrificing her
before the planets parade

920
01:38:51,937 --> 01:38:53,562
doom all of your doing?

921
01:38:54,729 --> 01:38:56,103
And if so,

922
01:38:56,104 --> 01:38:58,604
you failing to revive your Lord

923
01:38:59,771 --> 01:39:03,728
will be worse than you losing
to the Emperor in the Hidden Hand!

924
01:39:03,729 --> 01:39:05,770
What I've hidden will please you most!

925
01:39:05,771 --> 01:39:08,062
- Guess which hand, Father.
- No!

926
01:39:11,604 --> 01:39:13,520
Of all the people to lose,

927
01:39:13,521 --> 01:39:15,937
you lost to someone who disowned you!

928
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:29,729
What did you say?

929
01:39:32,187 --> 01:39:35,396
Dare to play a game where you might lose?

930
01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:43,812
I'll give you one chance.

931
01:40:04,021 --> 01:40:05,478
Let me get ready.

932
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:09,062
Not every day one gets to play
Hidden Hand with the Prince!

933
01:40:11,812 --> 01:40:13,187
Thân Đức. That burns!

934
01:40:22,146 --> 01:40:23,479
The rule is the same.

935
01:40:25,937 --> 01:40:28,771
You go and guess which hand of mine

936
01:40:30,521 --> 01:40:31,646
is hiding a thing?

937
01:40:46,187 --> 01:40:47,978
Hold it! Hang on.

938
01:40:47,979 --> 01:40:49,229
Can't let you cheat. Hang on.

939
01:41:03,896 --> 01:41:06,104
Blast it. You guessed right!

940
01:41:06,687 --> 01:41:07,771
Ah, hell!

941
01:41:16,396 --> 01:41:17,396
Brilliant!

942
01:41:22,812 --> 01:41:23,646
Congratulations.

943
01:41:54,104 --> 01:41:57,229
Everyone? All the Eyes are closed!

944
01:42:05,062 --> 01:42:06,187
Father!

945
01:42:09,104 --> 01:42:09,979
Die, demon!

946
01:42:16,771 --> 01:42:18,271
Are you all right, Father?

947
01:42:27,562 --> 01:42:28,771
Phan Cuồng!

948
01:42:29,771 --> 01:42:31,687
Look after Nguyệt for me!

949
01:42:33,771 --> 01:42:35,229
Father.

950
01:43:16,687 --> 01:43:19,479
You wish to reunite with Lord Ligneous?

951
01:43:20,062 --> 01:43:21,354
Allow me to fulfill it!

952
01:44:24,229 --> 01:44:26,229
Be with your Lord down in Hell's depths!

953
01:44:48,354 --> 01:44:50,978
Brother Đạt. Are you all right?

954
01:44:50,979 --> 01:44:52,062
Father!

955
01:44:56,979 --> 01:44:57,937
Thân Đức.

956
01:44:59,812 --> 01:45:01,645
Your reason for being

957
01:45:01,646 --> 01:45:04,562
is only to revive Lord Ligneous.

958
01:45:08,729 --> 01:45:10,479
I have dreamt your future.

959
01:45:12,021 --> 01:45:13,354
One that will turn true.

960
01:45:14,604 --> 01:45:16,396
When the Lord returns,

961
01:45:16,979 --> 01:45:18,729
it'll also kill you.

962
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:22,854
Prince Thân Đức.

963
01:45:25,146 --> 01:45:26,771
Prince Thân Đức...

964
01:45:50,562 --> 01:45:52,562
Everyone? Let's go home.

965
01:45:54,396 --> 01:45:55,437
Onward.

966
01:46:12,646 --> 01:46:13,936
<i>Thân Đức.</i>

967
01:46:13,937 --> 01:46:18,521
<i>Just by your hand, my Ligneous Reign
is ruined. Did you know that?</i>

968
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:20,562
Lord Ligneous.

969
01:46:24,771 --> 01:46:26,896
A demon, you may be,

970
01:46:29,312 --> 01:46:30,812
but my Father, you still are.

971
01:46:33,396 --> 01:46:35,062
I did it all for you.

972
01:46:37,437 --> 01:46:38,896
So why did you deceive me?

973
01:46:39,812 --> 01:46:44,854
<i>You would trust two Soul Drifters over me?</i>

974
01:46:47,229 --> 01:46:52,229
<i>I am ready to feast on the Pale Tigress
in the Sendan tree.</i>

975
01:46:53,604 --> 01:46:55,979
<i>Come and join me.</i>

976
01:46:56,771 --> 01:47:00,187
<i>Let's start over, you and I.</i>

977
01:47:53,021 --> 01:47:54,479
<i>Thân Đức?</i>

978
01:47:55,062 --> 01:47:59,228
<i>It's true my flesh will replenish you.</i>

979
01:47:59,229 --> 01:48:01,521
<i>But it's also true that</i>

980
01:48:02,437 --> 01:48:05,437
<i>it will blind you in the Sendan tree.</i>

981
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:16,603
<i>You thought your Lord just spoke to you?</i>

982
01:48:16,604 --> 01:48:18,271
<i>Wake up</i>

983
01:48:18,854 --> 01:48:22,396
<i>and see whom you have eaten!</i>

984
01:48:37,896 --> 01:48:39,728
Father! Don't abandon me.

985
01:48:39,729 --> 01:48:42,937
I only wish to see you.
I've no desire for the throne!

986
01:48:46,104 --> 01:48:47,396
Should the day arrive

987
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:50,146
when I become different,

988
01:48:52,854 --> 01:48:53,937
will you scorn me?

989
01:49:36,146 --> 01:49:38,603
- Father!
- Brother Đạt!

990
01:49:38,604 --> 01:49:39,978
Brother Đạt!

991
01:49:39,979 --> 01:49:41,229
Father.

992
01:49:42,312 --> 01:49:43,479
It's too late.

993
01:49:44,396 --> 01:49:45,771
In my stead...

994
01:49:46,604 --> 01:49:48,604
care for the village.

995
01:49:50,354 --> 01:49:51,687
Promise me, Minh,

996
01:49:52,562 --> 01:49:53,854
you'll become

997
01:49:55,062 --> 01:49:56,853
a chief

998
01:49:56,854 --> 01:49:58,021
most worthy.

999
01:50:04,729 --> 01:50:06,104
I feel only guilt

1000
01:50:07,062 --> 01:50:09,062
as I march back here.

1001
01:50:12,687 --> 01:50:14,021
Please forgive me

1002
01:50:16,437 --> 01:50:18,396
for involving you.

1003
01:50:33,021 --> 01:50:34,478
You bought this.

1004
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,104
Gift it to your daughter.

1005
01:51:00,354 --> 01:51:01,562
Father.

1006
01:51:02,521 --> 01:51:04,812
- Brother Đạt!
- Father, please wake up!

1007
01:51:05,979 --> 01:51:07,354
Father!

1008
01:51:08,646 --> 01:51:09,937
Father!

1009
01:51:20,729 --> 01:51:21,896
Father!

1010
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:26,854
Father...

1011
01:53:11,312 --> 01:53:12,437
In the end,

1012
01:53:13,271 --> 01:53:15,186
the leper village reversed its curse.

1013
01:53:15,187 --> 01:53:17,479
Ouch! That hurts.

1014
01:53:18,021 --> 01:53:19,021
Mosquito.

1015
01:53:20,062 --> 01:53:22,104
Lean in. Here's a better story. The end!

1016
01:53:24,854 --> 01:53:27,811
Hey! What of the Emperor?
No cliffhangers now!

1017
01:53:27,812 --> 01:53:29,146
Hold on!

1018
01:53:30,646 --> 01:53:32,354
The Emperor lives.

1019
01:53:33,396 --> 01:53:34,479
But then,

1020
01:53:35,104 --> 01:53:36,896
he is without a successor.

1021
01:53:37,771 --> 01:53:39,062
So, in the end,

1022
01:53:39,812 --> 01:53:42,479
he must abdicate the throne to his nephew.

1023
01:53:43,437 --> 01:53:45,020
That so!

1024
01:53:45,021 --> 01:53:47,479
Now ask me for toy figurines
rather than stories!

1025
01:53:48,937 --> 01:53:50,395
You're doing well.

1026
01:53:50,396 --> 01:53:54,061
You ditch my tavern
to have your own stall.

1027
01:53:54,062 --> 01:53:57,311
When my stall folds,
I'll use your tavern. Fret not!

1028
01:53:57,312 --> 01:53:58,395
Fold!

1029
01:53:58,396 --> 01:54:01,103
A pessimist! An early pessimist!

1030
01:54:01,104 --> 01:54:03,520
Everyone! Just so my stall won't fold,

1031
01:54:03,521 --> 01:54:06,811
can each of you be so kind
to buy at least two figurines?

1032
01:54:06,812 --> 01:54:07,728
Thank you!

1033
01:54:07,729 --> 01:54:09,061
I'll take one.

1034
01:54:09,062 --> 01:54:10,020
Bless you!

1035
01:54:10,021 --> 01:54:11,895
This bird is monochrome? No rainbow one?

1036
01:54:11,896 --> 01:54:13,061
Get a rooster, then.

1037
01:54:13,062 --> 01:54:15,521
Sir! I don't want poultry!

1038
01:54:16,854 --> 01:54:18,062
Father?
