[Candle in the Tomb]

[Episode 21]

We're still alive.

Fatso.

Hu, are we dead or alive?

We're not dead.

Where are we?

How am I supposed to know?

Hu!

We're not dead!

Fatso, stop crying.

Fatso, come on. Stop crying!

Everything is okay. Don't cry.

The world is yours.

It's also ours.

But ultimately, it's yours.

The four seas are rising, clouds and waters raging!

The five continents are rocking, wind and thunder roaring!

You guys are like the morning sun at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m.

Hope is placed upon you.

Professor Chen.

Professor Chen.

It's in the past. It's all in the past now.

Chu Jian.

Brother Hu! You're still alive.

Brother Hu, we thought you would never come back.

Xiao Chu, you guys... What exactly happened?

Huh?

What do you mean what happened?

You told us to take Ye Yi Xin and the water and leave the underground river.

We came out to find An Li Man and waited for you guys.

- Yeah. - We didn't think you'd still be alive.

After the sandstorm started, we had no choice but to leave.

Where's Xiao Ye? Where's Xiao Ye?

Xiao Ye had some water. She's feeling better now.

She's over there.

Yes, over there.

The east wind blows. The war drums are beaten.

Now, in this world...

- Professor! Professor! - who is afraid?

For truly great men, look to this age alone!

What's wrong, Professor?

Professor.

The world...

Sister Yang.

Xiao Ye.

Hu, what's going on?

Do we have water?

I'll go look.

Professor.

Everything is okay now.

Hu, there's no water.

It's all lost in the desert.

Hu!

Hu! Hey!

Did you hear what I said?

What?

There's no water.

Okay.

Professor, what happened to you?

The sandstorm has changed the paths of the desert.

Even the camels are lost.

Old Gentleman.

You must think of a way.

Otherwise our whole group...

Let's head west.

There's an oil field in the west.

Perhaps we'll be able to make it.

But we can't ride on the camels anymore.

They really can't handle it.

Okay.

Hu. Hu.

How many days have we been walking?

Not that many.

How many is not that many?

Soon. We'll be there soon.

Don't lie to me.

I know we won't be able to get out.

Every day when I open my eyes... it's all desert.

When I close my eyes, it's still all desert.

I really can't walk anymore.

I can't hold on anymore.

Soldier of the revolution, persevere for a bit longer.

If you can persevere until the end, that will be victory.

I can't persevere anymore.

Hu, I won't be able to make it out of here.

You must be able to make it out.

When you get to the day when the revolution is victorious

don't forget to tell me.

Persevere. Let's go.

Go...

I...

What's wrong, Fatso?

What's wrong?

- Brother Wang. - Fatso.

Wake up.

Fatso, wake up. Wake up.

Hu, I can't.

I can't walk anymore.

I won't be able to make it out of here.

If I keep going like this

Even if I don't die, I'll dry up like a mummy.

Wake up! Come on!

Wake up! Get up.

Get up!

Is he dead?

He's fine. Let's go.

In the end, I've implicated everyone.

At this point, don't talk about implicating anyone.

Everyone is the same.

I'm not the same as you guys.

How are you not the same?

Because you're American?

I am from the Zaglama tribe.

You still have the strength to joke at a time like this?

I'm not joking.

My mother is a descendant of the Zaglama tribe.

Our ancestors wanted to find out the secret of the Devil's Cave

so they were cursed.

Because of this curse none of the descendants live past the age of 50.

That's why I was so insistent on finding Jingjue Kingdom.

I want to break this curse so that I can save my mother.

And so that I can save myself in the future.

You already knew this from the beginning?

Then why didn't you tell us earlier?

You guys wouldn't have believed me even if I told you.

So that's why the beetle of fire couldn't hurt you?

Maybe. I don't know.

Do you see it?

This is an imprint of the curse on the Zaglama tribe.

My mother also has one on her body.

Hu Ba Yi.

Hu Ba Yi!

Hu! Hurry and look! White camel!

The white camel is a holy animal.

The white camel is a holy animal!

Since it appears in the desert, it means the curse is broken!

God has taken back this part of the desert!

Hurry and go after it! Hurry and go after it!

The three armed forces salutes you!

We'll be able to find water if we follow the white camel!

Hurry and get on the camels!

Hurry, Sa Di Peng!

It's really miraculous.

Thank God for His blessing and protection.

Hurry and get on the camels!

God has blessed us and protected us!

Exhilaration follows a hard-won victory!

- Don't drink! - Fatso, don't drink it!

Don't drink it!

Professor.

- Sa Di Peng. - Don't be so anxious.

Go get a water container.

- So bitter. - Hu.

Only drink after it melts.

Professor...

You have to wait.

You have to wait a bit before you drink this water.

Thank you, white camel.

God, thank you for sending the white camel a second time to save me.

Thank you for breaking the Black Desert's curse.

This swamp is your miracle.

I will always remember this.

You can drink it now.

- Professor... - Hold him back.

Here, slowly. Slowly.

Hu, I don't want to move at all.

Grasp the revolution! Promote production!

Prepare against war and natural disasters for the people!

That isn't a mirage, is it?

Over here!

Fatso, gun!

We lost the gun long ago. Where do I find a gun?

We're over here!

Ten thousand years is too long! Seize every minute!

- Professor! Professor! - One thousand years is too long!

This is all like a dream.

Yes.

If we tell anyone else about this they'll think it's a fairy tale.

Over here!

We're over here!

Over here!

We're over here!

Here!

Hu.

We're saved.

We're over here!

Over here!

Hey! We're over here!

We're finally back in Beijing.

I've replied to investigation requests from the related state departments.

After all, too many things happened on this journey.

Whether it's real or an illusion...

it's really hard to say.

There are some things that I can't work out.

[Xinjiang archaeology expedition report]

That lamp stand, that jade, that gold!

Why didn't I take anything?

Be gentler! This is an antique.

That's an antique? What?

I'm telling you, Mr. Gold, you didn't see the inside of that tomb!

It was a mountain of gold.

What a concept.

I can't get that image out of my head.

Let me tell you, that lamp stand...

How do I put it? Precipitation.

It was definitely a color from precipitation.

And on that rock bridge, that huge taro...

It was so fresh. I didn't have time to grab it.

But if I had time and I just randomly took something...

Those were all rare items! If I sold them, I would've gotten so much...

Fatso, I just want to ask you one thing.

Did you bring anything back from your trip?

Were you listening to what I said?

- I was. - What did I say?

An illusion.

Who was talking to you about illusions?

I was talking to you about that huge pile of gold.

Fatso, I was asking you what you brought back.

With those archaeologists there, what could I bring back?

Then why did Hu come here with you?

I already told you.

He's writing up a report. He's going through an investigation.

He's still going through investigations?

There were two professors. One died and the other went insane.

That's a big deal.

I have to go through an investigation in a few days.

I'm talking to you about the gold...

Sir, you've already told me three times.

I have business to do.

I need to go take care of these customers.

You can't even imagine...

I didn't even use all my strength. What are you crying for?

Coming.

Come in! Come in! Morning.

Come here, sit down. Sit down.

Mr. Gold. Something's not right.

Why is this burning hot and hurting?

What's going on? You didn't even use all your strength.

Help me see why it hurts here.

Where?

Here.

My steel hand.

Stop messing around. See what's there.

It's red.

- What are they doing? - I don't know.

It looks like a pattern. Let me see.

It looks like an eye.

Coming.

No... why are you here?

Gold Tooth gave me this address.

You also know Gold Tooth?

I guess. We're not that close though.

Professor Chen is close to his father.

They both like collecting antiques.

Oh.

You're not going to invite me in?

It's too messy.

Thank you.

Fatso used to sell magnetic tape.

So he has a lot of posters and makes a mess sticking them everywhere.

You can see it all over the place.

That's his taste.

I've always criticized him. Really.

Where's Fatso? He's not here?

You didn't come here to see me?

I came to see both of you.

Oh.

I came to see you guys to give you your money.

I'm going back to the US tomorrow.

What? You're going back?

I've contacted a hospital and will bring Professor Chen there for treatment.

From what I see, you Americans are not that well off.

You see, it's all cash.

Why don't... we just forget it?

I have to pay you.

It's what we agreed on.

But Hu, I want you to promise me one thing.

Tell me.

Our ancestors were in the same line of work.

When my grandfather decided to quit that work

it was because the Mojin tomb raiders had lost their values.

No matter how good someone is, it's hard to avoid accidents.

I hope you'll stop.

Don't go tomb raiding anymore.

If you and Fatso have the chance to come to the US in the future

- I'll arrange-- - What am I?

You have so much money that you can't spend it all?

Hu, I'm being serious.

I understand what you're saying.

I have my principles and know my position.

Besides the tombs that have been discovered or are being protected

there are still many tombs deep in the mountains and woods.

People who don't know feng shui would never be able to find them.

It would be wrong if those places aren't excavated and studied.

Those treasures would never have the chance to see light again.

Natural environmental changes and erosion

would threaten the tombs that no one else would discover.

It really pains me to know that.

- I mean-- - All right.

I just meant well.

You're such a quibbler.

I wasn't quibbling.

You must know that our great leader Chairman Mao taught us that

there are two sides to everything.

A good thing can be bad and a bad thing can be good.

That's dialectical materialism.

And I'm just putting this theory into practice.

I didn't expect you to have such integrity.

I have a whole new respect for you.

I take back what I just said.

I guess you won't take this money.

Miss Yang.

No, Miss Yang.

I mean, if you show such sincerity, I have to accept it.

What do you say?

How about this? We'll consider this a loan.

We'll calculate interest rates according to the Bank of China, okay?

Thank you.

I'm also thanking you on behalf of Fatso.

I should be thanking you and Fatso.

You're really... just going to leave?

I mean, you're leaving with Professor Chen?

Yes, I've contacted the hospital

about bringing Professor Chen there for treatment.

Okay.

Oh yeah, are you and Fatso all right?

We're fine. We're both strong. Nothing's wrong.

That's good.

I'm leaving. We probably won't see each other again.

Take care.

Hope to see you again.

Hope to see you again.

You can transfer the call.

Thanks.

Hello?

Hi, Daddy.

I'll be coming back home tomorrow.

Yeah. I'll update you on everything once I'm there.
