1
00:00:24,395 --> 00:00:27,437
Will I stay in your house with Ling?

2
00:00:28,315 --> 00:00:33,946
She doesn't live in my house.
She has her own with many servants.

3
00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:35,532
As a princess should.

4
00:00:35,614 --> 00:00:37,715
Do you still dance with her?

5
00:00:38,117 --> 00:00:39,195
Always.

6
00:00:39,951 --> 00:00:43,038
- I need to use a tree.
- To stand or sit?

7
00:00:43,122 --> 00:00:45,249
- Stand.
- Stop.

8
00:00:46,417 --> 00:00:48,460
- Why?
- He needs to use a tree.

9
00:00:50,296 --> 00:00:52,924
- Take him.
- It's your turn.

10
00:00:54,675 --> 00:00:56,035
Not by my count.

11
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:10,941
Hey, hey. Eyes on the tree.

12
00:01:13,444 --> 00:01:14,946
Are we nearly there?

13
00:01:16,405 --> 00:01:17,823
What did I say yesterday?

14
00:01:18,407 --> 00:01:20,242
You'll know when you're there.

15
00:01:21,743 --> 00:01:23,287
Same applies today.

16
00:01:26,248 --> 00:01:27,524
What does that hold?

17
00:01:28,375 --> 00:01:30,086
My mantis.

18
00:01:32,296 --> 00:01:33,422
Where is it?

19
00:01:35,674 --> 00:01:36,925
He died.

20
00:01:38,969 --> 00:01:40,261
I'm sorry.

21
00:01:52,649 --> 00:01:55,319
Move! Now!

22

23
00:04:21,465 --> 00:04:24,093
- Do you see her?
- No.

24
00:04:26,928 --> 00:04:31,475
We've been riding all day.
Have to stop soon. Rest.

25
00:04:32,684 --> 00:04:35,437
She's out there.

26
00:04:37,273 --> 00:04:38,931
And she's coming.

27
00:04:40,191 --> 00:04:41,923
How does she keep up?

28
00:04:42,528 --> 00:04:43,587
Stay.

29
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:46,147
Ask her.

30
00:05:35,038 --> 00:05:36,915
Another flank shot.

31
00:05:36,998 --> 00:05:39,626
My son will return with your target.

32
00:05:39,710 --> 00:05:43,380
Orus is a fine boy.
Worthy of the Khanate in his own right.

33
00:05:43,464 --> 00:05:45,716
Maybe even more ready than you, Kaidu.

34
00:05:45,799 --> 00:05:47,999
I like it when you talk tough.

35
00:05:48,844 --> 00:05:51,221
Makes it seem as if you have
the muscle to back it up.

36
00:05:51,722 --> 00:05:54,391
But you and I
and everyone around us knows better.

37
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:57,228
We know how your army
cowered in the canyons for weeks,

38
00:05:57,311 --> 00:05:58,813
surrounded by the Chagataids

39
00:05:58,895 --> 00:06:02,190
and how you cried for help
in every direction.

40
00:06:02,273 --> 00:06:05,068
And did Kublai's House of Tolui
answer the call?

41
00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:08,590
No, it was the House of Ögödei.

42
00:06:09,072 --> 00:06:10,406
My house.

43
00:06:10,491 --> 00:06:13,035
The House of Ögödei
has lorded the favors it's bestowed

44
00:06:13,118 --> 00:06:16,412
on every house represented here...
for generations.

45
00:06:16,497 --> 00:06:18,879
The best part of granting favors,
gentlemen...

46
00:06:19,791 --> 00:06:21,642
is the day they return to you.

47
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,929
- We were supposed to make it quick.
- It was. Too quick.

48
00:06:33,013 --> 00:06:35,056
Oh, yeah?

49
00:06:36,182 --> 00:06:39,102
Besides, no one's going to know
we were gone.

50
00:06:39,185 --> 00:06:41,062
More important matters at hand.

51
00:06:41,146 --> 00:06:44,024
When all this ends, we can hunt and fuck

52
00:06:44,107 --> 00:06:45,525
and live however we want.

53
00:06:45,609 --> 00:06:47,102
You don't believe that.

54
00:06:47,694 --> 00:06:50,462
Someone's going to lose.
Your father or mine.

55
00:06:51,031 --> 00:06:53,199
Neither will do so quietly.

56
00:06:53,283 --> 00:06:57,495
If my father loses fairly,
he'll support Kublai.

57
00:06:57,579 --> 00:07:00,291
He believes in the Khanate too much
to disgrace it.

58
00:07:00,374 --> 00:07:01,542
Not mine.

59
00:07:10,967 --> 00:07:13,595
Kaidu is licking their boots as we speak.

60
00:07:13,679 --> 00:07:15,931
That's how elections work, Kublai.

61
00:07:16,014 --> 00:07:18,809
You should take note of his strategy.
Employ it yourself.

62
00:07:18,892 --> 00:07:21,352
They're my chieftains! Mine!

63
00:07:22,103 --> 00:07:26,942
You may want to pretend
you're enjoying my company.

64
00:07:29,653 --> 00:07:31,363
I'm not upset at you.

65
00:07:31,447 --> 00:07:33,032
They do not know that.

66
00:07:33,114 --> 00:07:36,076
- Oh, they don't care.
- You should.

67
00:07:38,078 --> 00:07:42,749
Perhaps you practice your politics here.
Spread goodwill among your own people.

68
00:07:48,422 --> 00:07:51,467
- My army's bigger than his.
- Oh, excellent news.

69
00:07:52,801 --> 00:07:55,762
You were fine with war
when it was with Ariq.

70
00:07:55,846 --> 00:07:58,139
Don't play dense, it's unbecoming.

71
00:07:58,223 --> 00:08:01,476
How are you so comfortable mocking me?

72
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,148
Ariq plotted with our enemies,
endangered the life of your heir.

73
00:08:06,231 --> 00:08:07,745
He deserved to die.

74
00:08:08,358 --> 00:08:12,445
Kaidu challenged your rule
under the laws of our land.

75
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:15,782
You cannot cut off his head.

76
00:08:17,117 --> 00:08:22,455
If you do, the legitimacy of your Khanate
will forever be in question.

77
00:08:22,539 --> 00:08:23,665
Your people will wonder

78
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:27,002
why the great Kublai Khan was so afraid
to let their voices be heard.

79
00:08:27,085 --> 00:08:28,962
- I'm not afraid.
- I know that.

80
00:08:29,045 --> 00:08:31,464
Once again, they do not.

81
00:08:37,053 --> 00:08:38,304
Nice day, uh...

82
00:08:44,853 --> 00:08:47,230
Good effort.

83
00:08:54,655 --> 00:08:57,158
To challenge a sitting Khan? Unheard of.

84
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,410
Let alone one as unpredictable as Kublai.

85
00:09:01,537 --> 00:09:03,066
We need assurances.

86
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:05,957
Should we side with you and you lose...

87
00:09:06,041 --> 00:09:08,752
What's to stop him from slaughtering us
for supporting you?

88
00:09:08,835 --> 00:09:11,838
Other than killing him ourselves,
what possible assurances can I give?

89
00:09:13,632 --> 00:09:15,301
No one is suggesting that.

90
00:09:17,302 --> 00:09:18,361
I'd be lying if I said

91
00:09:18,386 --> 00:09:21,847
I was comfortable discussing matters
in front of the Khan's bastard son.

92
00:09:21,932 --> 00:09:23,975
We don't know where his loyalties lie.

93
00:09:24,059 --> 00:09:26,061
Away from prying eyes.

94
00:09:26,144 --> 00:09:28,021
Resolve. How refreshing.

95
00:09:29,606 --> 00:09:31,024
There are no secrets here.

96
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,068
The Khan knows he's been challenged.

97
00:09:33,151 --> 00:09:35,888
Byamba delivered the message himself,
like a good son would.

98
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:38,699
And returned with the Khan's acceptance
of this challenge.

99
00:09:38,782 --> 00:09:40,154
We heard about the heads.

100
00:09:40,576 --> 00:09:42,466
Very Kublai of him.

101
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,581
You're concerned about Nayan's absence
from our side this week.

102
00:09:45,664 --> 00:09:48,667
- He is the Khan's uncle.
- Loyal uncle.

103
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:50,138
It's not about one man's vote.

104
00:09:50,488 --> 00:09:52,921
It's about each of you taking a stand
for what you believe in.

105
00:09:54,130 --> 00:09:57,008
About unifying Mongolia as Genghis did.

106
00:09:57,646 --> 00:10:00,581
And unlike the last Kurultai,
I will win or lose this honestly.

107
00:10:01,249 --> 00:10:03,919
Nayan's army and coalition of support
is too great.

108
00:10:04,001 --> 00:10:06,321
We must know who he plans to back.

109
00:10:07,463 --> 00:10:08,812
Arban...

110
00:10:09,465 --> 00:10:13,303
your father was a drunkard who beat
your mother and took her forcibly.

111
00:10:13,715 --> 00:10:15,596
He lacked friends, brains, esteem.

112
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,097
Is this how you garner votes?

113
00:10:17,182 --> 00:10:18,725
What was the only regret
that escaped his lips

114
00:10:18,808 --> 00:10:20,310
at the end of his pathetic life?

115
00:10:22,645 --> 00:10:26,691
That the people of Mongolia allowed
the fat fuck of a thief Kublai

116
00:10:26,774 --> 00:10:28,818
to steal the election with impunity.

117
00:10:29,944 --> 00:10:31,971
Something you'd like
to say to me, bastard?

118
00:10:33,614 --> 00:10:35,572
My father was rightfully elected.

119
00:10:35,908 --> 00:10:38,368
Your mouth was barely dry
of your whore mother's tit

120
00:10:38,453 --> 00:10:39,787
during the last Kurultai.

121
00:11:14,113 --> 00:11:15,781
Good shot, Arban.

122
00:11:32,131 --> 00:11:34,299
We'll be home behind a wall soon.

123
00:11:35,092 --> 00:11:37,406
Then he will be
in someone else's safekeeping.

124
00:11:41,098 --> 00:11:43,198
You said you didn't choose this place.

125
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:47,521
- I didn't.
- But you have that golden tablet.

126
00:11:47,605 --> 00:11:50,858
I'd be hunted down and killed.

127
00:11:52,777 --> 00:11:55,174
Every night, I have slept
shackled and guarded.

128
00:11:55,488 --> 00:11:57,795
You've retired
to your quarters unguarded.

129
00:11:58,157 --> 00:11:59,390
For months.

130
00:12:00,034 --> 00:12:03,120
You could've had an eight-hour head start
in any direction you chose.

131
00:12:03,954 --> 00:12:05,665
And yet here you are,

132
00:12:06,149 --> 00:12:11,349
returning home with a child
you just might be delivering to death.

133
00:12:12,297 --> 00:12:14,090
Stop making excuses.

134
00:12:14,173 --> 00:12:16,383
The Great Khan wouldn't lower himself
to kill a boy.

135
00:12:16,467 --> 00:12:19,554
- Children die at the Khan's hands daily.
- That's different.

136
00:12:19,637 --> 00:12:21,764
- Paupers and princes alike.
- That is war.

137
00:12:21,847 --> 00:12:22,932
And what do you call this?

138
00:12:25,851 --> 00:12:27,853
The boy is of more value alive.

139
00:12:27,937 --> 00:12:29,855
Depends on who you're selling to.

140
00:12:29,939 --> 00:12:32,733
Privileged guest might not be worth
as much as cutting his head off

141
00:12:32,817 --> 00:12:35,528
and mounting it
onto your fat Khan's wall.

142
00:12:38,197 --> 00:12:39,824
Can't sleep?

143
00:12:54,547 --> 00:12:56,591
You know what I do when I can't sleep?

144
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:00,490
I count the stars in the sky.

145
00:13:01,136 --> 00:13:05,641
I usually get to 73 and don't remember
anything but dreams until sunrise.

146
00:13:07,017 --> 00:13:08,352
You want to try?

147
00:13:09,770 --> 00:13:11,130
Yes.

148
00:13:11,856 --> 00:13:12,982
Right.

149
00:13:13,899 --> 00:13:15,682
That's where I always begin.

150
00:13:16,318 --> 00:13:17,444
Shen.

151
00:13:19,530 --> 00:13:22,450
Is that what you call them? Shen?

152
00:13:27,497 --> 00:13:28,975
We start with Shen.

153
00:13:30,958 --> 00:13:34,086
One, two...

154
00:13:34,169 --> 00:13:37,589
Three, four,

155
00:13:37,673 --> 00:13:43,388
five, six, seven...

156
00:13:43,471 --> 00:13:47,225
Eight, nine...

157
00:14:20,716 --> 00:14:23,469
The silver tree of Karakorum!

158
00:14:23,553 --> 00:14:26,659
Could go for a bowl of wine
from its branches right about now.

159
00:14:27,222 --> 00:14:30,935
So long as I rule Karakorum,
the fountain will never flow again.

160
00:14:41,946 --> 00:14:42,947
Father.

161
00:14:51,038 --> 00:14:52,206
Prince Nayan.

162
00:14:54,709 --> 00:14:58,003
I've never been so pleased
to see a Christian in all my life.

163
00:14:59,046 --> 00:15:00,923
Send word of the outcome, Kaidu.

164
00:15:04,844 --> 00:15:06,178
Go to him.

165
00:15:07,513 --> 00:15:09,407
Extend an invitation.

166
00:15:17,607 --> 00:15:20,193
I don't know
whether I gained or lost a vote there.

167
00:15:23,153 --> 00:15:25,740
There are many months
between now and the Kurultai.

168
00:15:25,823 --> 00:15:29,557
I'm trying to overthrow your father.
Legitimately.

169
00:15:30,202 --> 00:15:31,414
But still...

170
00:15:32,246 --> 00:15:34,790
there are things that you will hear
you do not like.

171
00:15:35,457 --> 00:15:37,209
Things you don't want to believe.

172
00:15:38,335 --> 00:15:42,076
If you ever need to talk,
you'll come to me, yes?

173
00:15:46,927 --> 00:15:48,971
Arban deserved it, by the way.

174
00:15:56,562 --> 00:15:58,481
I'll be home as quickly as I can.

175
00:16:06,363 --> 00:16:08,532
Of course the chieftains think
I should be Khan.

176
00:16:08,616 --> 00:16:11,911
When his days are done, who else
would carry father's banner but me?

177
00:16:11,994 --> 00:16:14,204
You have
the misplaced confidence of a Khan.

178
00:16:14,288 --> 00:16:17,291
I'm strong, handsome,
my wives cry out from my bed.

179
00:16:17,374 --> 00:16:18,583
For you to stop.

180
00:16:19,585 --> 00:16:23,047
Be good.
We don't need any more outbursts.

181
00:16:23,130 --> 00:16:25,257
- When have I ever had an outburst?
- The tree trunk!

182
00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:26,341
That was one time.

183
00:16:26,425 --> 00:16:28,843
And you smashing Suren's jaw
into it comes to mind.

184
00:16:28,928 --> 00:16:30,430
That was one time.

185
00:16:40,105 --> 00:16:41,356
Welcome.

186
00:16:42,441 --> 00:16:44,949
It's an honor to welcome
you to Karakorum.

187
00:16:45,527 --> 00:16:47,696
My father expected you a week ago.

188
00:16:47,780 --> 00:16:50,533
There's much to see
between Cambulac and here.

189
00:16:50,616 --> 00:16:51,867
How was the wedding?

190
00:16:52,660 --> 00:16:55,663
I was pleased to simply
pay my respect to my Khan.

191
00:16:55,746 --> 00:16:59,166
And Lord Kaidu of Karakorum
wishes to pay his respects to you.

192
00:16:59,249 --> 00:17:01,690
He invites you to feast this evening.

193
00:17:02,377 --> 00:17:03,404
I decline.

194
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:07,800
He'll want us to convince you otherwise.

195
00:17:10,052 --> 00:17:13,097
I'm surprised it's taken you this long
to threaten me, Orus.

196
00:17:13,806 --> 00:17:16,100
That's not a threat. It's an appeal.

197
00:17:17,977 --> 00:17:21,188
Should one cheek be slapped,
turn and offer the other.

198
00:17:21,271 --> 00:17:24,859
- A good lesson in life.
- Had I slapped, you would have felt it.

199
00:17:27,527 --> 00:17:30,641
We need to find a way
to bring you together with my father.

200
00:17:30,948 --> 00:17:33,200
I'll be leaving for my pilgrimage
in three days' time.

201
00:17:33,634 --> 00:17:35,703
If Kaidu wishes to petition
for my support,

202
00:17:35,786 --> 00:17:37,079
he can come to my camp...

203
00:17:37,162 --> 00:17:38,580
on bended knee.

204
00:17:40,415 --> 00:17:42,376
We'll send Father your regards.

205
00:17:59,727 --> 00:18:01,135
Hmm.

206
00:18:04,899 --> 00:18:07,151
- How many?
- Two riders.

207
00:18:07,234 --> 00:18:09,319
And what appears to be a boy.

208
00:19:02,915 --> 00:19:04,667
Rise.

209
00:19:07,002 --> 00:19:08,087
Not you.

210
00:19:09,004 --> 00:19:11,716
Your nose remains to the stone.

211
00:19:16,011 --> 00:19:17,763
The empire is in your debt.

212
00:19:19,223 --> 00:19:21,000
We will return the favor.

213
00:19:22,476 --> 00:19:24,603
I do not serve for reward.

214
00:19:24,686 --> 00:19:27,481
No, but rewards certainly help, hmm?

215
00:19:27,564 --> 00:19:30,067
My thanks, Sire.

216
00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:33,863
But were it not for Mei Lin's assistance,
I would never have found the boy.

217
00:19:33,946 --> 00:19:35,761
Her contacts remained true.

218
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,159
She bled for the empire
and she saved my life.

219
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:42,832
Bring me your horse and sword
and I'll commend the whore as I do them.

220
00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:50,420
All I ask is that you allow her to rise
and pay tribute to her Khan.

221
00:19:58,303 --> 00:19:59,471
All right.

222
00:20:00,931 --> 00:20:02,391
Rise.

223
00:20:21,618 --> 00:20:23,375
Pay tribute to me.

224
00:20:26,290 --> 00:20:29,567
Great Khan, my Holy Emperor...

225
00:20:30,502 --> 00:20:33,422
you've honored me with this task.
I honor you with...

226
00:20:33,505 --> 00:20:36,133
You speak of honor,
yet you have none to speak of.

227
00:20:36,801 --> 00:20:40,888
In freedom, you must feel the blowing,
whichever direction the wind takes you.

228
00:20:41,388 --> 00:20:42,687
Do you disagree?

229
00:20:44,141 --> 00:20:45,993
Show me that you disagree.

230
00:20:46,685 --> 00:20:49,896
Stand tall and resolute
for the praise that you deserve

231
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:51,816
in this moment as I order you down.

232
00:20:54,944 --> 00:20:58,238
If you believe you deserve it,
defy my order.

233
00:20:59,448 --> 00:21:01,075
Down!

234
00:21:09,541 --> 00:21:13,481
Now, tell me, Marco.
Tell me of South China.

235
00:21:17,341 --> 00:21:20,594
The South is still attempting

236
00:21:20,677 --> 00:21:22,929
to come to terms
with the tyranny of their past.

237
00:21:24,598 --> 00:21:25,484
Hmm.

238
00:21:25,568 --> 00:21:28,741
They've been in the dark so long,
the light can hurt their eyes.

239
00:21:46,745 --> 00:21:49,456
Don't get too comfortable now, young man.

240
00:22:18,777 --> 00:22:20,487
You weren't going to say hello?

241
00:22:22,072 --> 00:22:24,742
- Apologies, Jingim.
- Shut up and come here, brother.

242
00:22:24,824 --> 00:22:27,661
I would like to introduce you
to my new bride.

243
00:22:27,744 --> 00:22:29,663
Princess Kokachin...

244
00:22:30,915 --> 00:22:32,958
this is Master Marco Polo.

245
00:22:35,835 --> 00:22:38,254
Master Polo, welcome home.

246
00:22:39,506 --> 00:22:41,300
My thanks, Princess.

247
00:22:41,383 --> 00:22:43,843
All I hear are the praises
of your good name.

248
00:22:43,928 --> 00:22:45,179
Well earned, it seems.

249
00:22:47,056 --> 00:22:48,153
Very kind.

250
00:22:48,974 --> 00:22:50,634
We missed you at the wedding.

251
00:22:51,726 --> 00:22:53,437
And I regret missing it.

252
00:22:57,899 --> 00:23:01,277
Are you unwell?

253
00:23:04,489 --> 00:23:06,111
I believe I am.

254
00:23:07,076 --> 00:23:09,662
- May I retire to my quarters?
- May I escort you?

255
00:23:09,744 --> 00:23:11,639
No, please... stay.

256
00:23:12,831 --> 00:23:14,165
Master Polo.

257
00:23:15,084 --> 00:23:16,271
Princess.

258
00:23:22,132 --> 00:23:23,759
She's quite intriguing.

259
00:23:24,676 --> 00:23:26,686
Wise, funny.

260
00:23:27,346 --> 00:23:29,306
She'll make a splendid queen.

261
00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:41,985
Why did Marco praise you as he did
in the throne room?

262
00:23:45,405 --> 00:23:48,783
Some people think jealousy
is a sign of weakness.

263
00:23:50,285 --> 00:23:51,745
I find it flattering.

264
00:23:51,828 --> 00:23:53,293
It wasn't meant to be.

265
00:23:55,290 --> 00:23:57,308
I don't like being kept in the dark.

266
00:23:57,542 --> 00:23:59,836
I especially don't like
you casting me there.

267
00:24:00,529 --> 00:24:05,217
He defended me because I deserved it
and he's ruled by decency.

268
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:08,012
Surprised he's survived this long.

269
00:24:12,016 --> 00:24:14,168
What if the Khan wins the Kurultai?

270
00:24:14,893 --> 00:24:16,654
Back to the original plan?

271
00:24:17,854 --> 00:24:19,856
Killing him once seemed fulfilling.

272
00:24:20,774 --> 00:24:23,913
A blade. Poisoned dart.

273
00:24:24,444 --> 00:24:26,680
Did you know Mongol burial dictates

274
00:24:26,705 --> 00:24:28,723
that the deceased be
left in the open air,

275
00:24:29,662 --> 00:24:32,787
torn apart and churned
in the stomachs of wild animals

276
00:24:32,869 --> 00:24:34,956
and then turned into shit on the steppe?

277
00:24:36,706 --> 00:24:38,997
There's something attractive about that.

278
00:24:39,256 --> 00:24:43,255
But it's too simple, just killing him.

279
00:24:46,425 --> 00:24:48,968
Better to take everything from him first.

280
00:24:49,303 --> 00:24:52,450
His Empress. His children.

281
00:24:54,349 --> 00:24:55,546
His army.

282
00:24:57,269 --> 00:25:02,066
And finally, that hideous golden chair
he adores above all else.

283
00:25:05,735 --> 00:25:07,487
I want to see Ling.

284
00:25:09,114 --> 00:25:11,325
Were you not in the throne room earlier?

285
00:25:13,368 --> 00:25:16,786
"Find the Boy Emperor
and I could see my daughter."

286
00:25:17,414 --> 00:25:18,958
Those were your words.

287
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,058
And I will live up to them,
once I'm through with the Boy Emperor.

288
00:25:26,298 --> 00:25:28,258
So you're still going to do it?

289
00:25:30,094 --> 00:25:32,034
You knew this was always the plan.

290
00:25:34,098 --> 00:25:35,243
I know.

291
00:25:37,392 --> 00:25:40,420
Don't let decency get in the way
of seeing your daughter.

292
00:25:50,614 --> 00:25:52,586
Let me take care of you.

293
00:26:02,417 --> 00:26:03,793
Just relax.

294
00:26:36,243 --> 00:26:39,663
Busy Kaidu. Important Kaidu.

295
00:26:40,085 --> 00:26:42,416
It has been hard
to get out here to you, Mother.

296
00:26:42,499 --> 00:26:44,317
You put me out here.

297
00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:47,876
The tree had medicine, you said.

298
00:26:49,005 --> 00:26:50,381
It had spirit.

299
00:26:51,341 --> 00:26:53,552
I didn't say I wanted to live in it.

300
00:26:55,485 --> 00:26:58,349
Nayan has refused to come to you?

301
00:26:59,558 --> 00:27:00,477
Yes.

302
00:27:01,059 --> 00:27:03,645
It's been three days.
He's going to leave.

303
00:27:06,648 --> 00:27:10,485
I will not beg
and I will not make promises.

304
00:27:10,569 --> 00:27:12,458
This is a question of honor.

305
00:27:12,821 --> 00:27:14,796
Said just like your father.

306
00:27:15,644 --> 00:27:18,284
How like you to seek out the worst

307
00:27:18,368 --> 00:27:22,372
of that drunken,
useless shitsack to aspire to.

308
00:27:22,872 --> 00:27:24,708
He claimed honor, too.

309
00:27:24,791 --> 00:27:29,296
Did that stop our enemies of Tolui
from stealing the Khanate?

310
00:27:29,963 --> 00:27:32,757
Does it bother you
that you're always repeating yourself?

311
00:27:34,593 --> 00:27:36,345
You need Nayan.

312
00:27:36,845 --> 00:27:38,430
I know.

313
00:27:38,513 --> 00:27:40,724
Act like it then.

314
00:27:41,808 --> 00:27:48,147
Go and say and do whatever it takes
to gain his acceptance.

315
00:27:49,358 --> 00:27:52,652
The road back to power
is cobbled with indignities.

316
00:27:52,736 --> 00:27:55,405
Be they spilt blood of family,
scraping of knees,

317
00:27:55,489 --> 00:27:57,824
or scrapping of our morals.

318
00:27:58,177 --> 00:27:59,816
When our days are done,

319
00:28:00,244 --> 00:28:03,330
morals are all that stand
between reverence and infamy.

320
00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:10,858
Obscurity is a much worse
fate after death.

321
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,967
One I will not allow to befall you
as it did your father.

322
00:28:18,512 --> 00:28:21,390
Befall me? Or befall you?

323
00:28:23,099 --> 00:28:25,540
We are one and the same, son.

324
00:28:56,174 --> 00:28:57,967
How long were you toying with them?

325
00:28:58,051 --> 00:29:00,845
- What hour is it?
- Before sundown.

326
00:29:01,346 --> 00:29:05,534
Hmm...
then, give or take, their entire lives.

327
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:07,686
I brought you a present.

328
00:29:11,356 --> 00:29:13,067
The conquering hero.

329
00:29:13,983 --> 00:29:16,402
Convenient that you just
missed the wedding.

330
00:29:20,073 --> 00:29:21,560
We almost didn't return.

331
00:29:21,950 --> 00:29:23,868
We were attacked
by the Emperor's protector.

332
00:29:26,162 --> 00:29:29,708
Home tastes splendid.

333
00:29:31,335 --> 00:29:35,005
She was an extraordinary fighter
and was beating us easily.

334
00:29:35,088 --> 00:29:38,507
When she recognized my defense,
she hesitated.

335
00:29:38,776 --> 00:29:41,010
My training took her by surprise.

336
00:29:43,763 --> 00:29:44,764
Show me.

337
00:30:12,041 --> 00:30:13,126
Six Harmony Fist.

338
00:30:20,592 --> 00:30:21,767
What do you think?

339
00:30:22,471 --> 00:30:26,638
I think she was surprised
by how sadly you defile the technique.

340
00:30:41,154 --> 00:30:42,141
What's wrong?

341
00:30:44,449 --> 00:30:46,326
There are servants for that. Come here.

342
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:50,122
- My hands are wet.
- I don't care.

343
00:30:50,204 --> 00:30:54,292
I failed you... again.

344
00:31:01,215 --> 00:31:03,927
I believe it takes two to birth a child.

345
00:31:05,094 --> 00:31:08,014
Well, it takes two to make a child,
one of us births it.

346
00:31:08,097 --> 00:31:09,473
I just get the fun part.

347
00:31:09,558 --> 00:31:11,253
What is your mother going to say?

348
00:31:11,851 --> 00:31:13,468
Does that really concern you?

349
00:31:15,188 --> 00:31:17,460
You didn't marry me because you loved me.

350
00:31:18,066 --> 00:31:21,701
It wasn't as if you were given
a line of women to choose from.

351
00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:24,813
I was forced upon you.

352
00:31:25,449 --> 00:31:27,253
And how lucky I am for that.

353
00:31:30,579 --> 00:31:33,133
We need to pretend
that we like each other.

354
00:31:37,251 --> 00:31:38,692
I do like you.

355
00:31:41,005 --> 00:31:43,090
Pretend that we chose each other.

356
00:31:45,594 --> 00:31:47,011
Then we'll try again.

357
00:32:03,570 --> 00:32:05,566
Do you think about my mother when we...

358
00:32:08,449 --> 00:32:10,659
- Maybe once or twice.
- I don't know why I asked.

359
00:32:10,744 --> 00:32:12,371
I really didn't want to know.

360
00:32:22,046 --> 00:32:25,884
You raise the dead to life in spirit.

361
00:32:25,967 --> 00:32:29,382
- Lord, have mercy.
- Lord, have mercy.

362
00:32:29,971 --> 00:32:32,847
You bring pardon and peace to the sinner.

363
00:32:33,141 --> 00:32:36,185
- Christ, have mercy.
- Christ, have mercy.

364
00:32:36,269 --> 00:32:39,048
You bring light to those in darkness.

365
00:32:39,438 --> 00:32:42,447
- Lord, have mercy.
- Lord, have mercy.

366
00:32:42,692 --> 00:32:48,072
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins

367
00:32:48,156 --> 00:32:51,617
and bring us to everlasting life.

368
00:32:51,701 --> 00:32:53,161
Amen.

369
00:32:58,291 --> 00:33:01,419
My disciples, we have guests.

370
00:33:02,378 --> 00:33:07,133
Brother Kaidu, please...
join us in prayer.

371
00:33:25,610 --> 00:33:29,323
I was just coming to pay you a visit
prior to your lunch with the Khan.

372
00:33:31,365 --> 00:33:32,510
An honor.

373
00:33:33,785 --> 00:33:34,955
Are you feeling better?

374
00:33:37,706 --> 00:33:40,028
We're members of the same court now.

375
00:33:40,584 --> 00:33:43,691
We will have to learn
to exist in that court together.

376
00:33:44,253 --> 00:33:47,048
I hope you understand and respect that.

377
00:33:47,757 --> 00:33:48,859
You were right.

378
00:33:49,634 --> 00:33:51,772
All we can change is in this place.

379
00:33:53,096 --> 00:33:54,491
I have done that.

380
00:33:55,014 --> 00:33:56,523
And it's all due to you.

381
00:33:57,058 --> 00:33:59,507
So thank you, Master Polo.

382
00:34:00,729 --> 00:34:03,232
When I returned from Xiangyang,
I looked for you.

383
00:34:03,314 --> 00:34:04,475
I came for you.

384
00:34:05,523 --> 00:34:07,443
And thankfully, I was already gone.

385
00:34:11,819 --> 00:34:13,547
Enjoy your lunch with the Khan.

386
00:34:39,768 --> 00:34:41,770
- I don't wish to be a pessimist...
- But...

387
00:34:41,853 --> 00:34:42,937
Somewhere within these walls,

388
00:34:43,021 --> 00:34:45,189
a young boy's being dressed
for the day ahead.

389
00:34:45,273 --> 00:34:48,936
A young boy.
Not an emperor, a boy. Nothing more.

390
00:34:49,593 --> 00:34:51,863
- And he's ours.
- Yes, but what to do with what's ours?

391
00:34:51,946 --> 00:34:54,115
Your father will honor him
as treasured prisoner.

392
00:34:54,198 --> 00:34:55,344
Of course.

393
00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:58,620
The more the Mongols are reminded
of the conquest of the South,

394
00:34:58,703 --> 00:35:00,330
the more likely they are
to side with Kaidu.

395
00:35:00,413 --> 00:35:02,331
Not all Mongols, brother.

396
00:35:02,415 --> 00:35:04,583
And we cannot cow
to the lowest common thinkers.

397
00:35:04,668 --> 00:35:07,587
We cannot stoke their resentment, not now.
There's too much at stake.

398
00:35:07,671 --> 00:35:08,993
So, what? Hide him from view?

399
00:35:09,338 --> 00:35:12,040
Everything father's fought for in life
has led to this point.

400
00:35:12,759 --> 00:35:16,808
It is our responsibility to guide him
from the past and into the future.

401
00:35:17,305 --> 00:35:20,599
Understatement in victory
is not exactly father's strong suit.

402
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,201
They drowned themselves.

403
00:35:36,783 --> 00:35:38,074
Hundreds.

404
00:35:39,077 --> 00:35:41,537
That was one bend of one river.

405
00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:45,583
There are hundreds more who'd rather
meet their God than fall to you.

406
00:35:46,584 --> 00:35:48,294
The South is not secure.

407
00:35:50,296 --> 00:35:52,090
You're ruining my lunch.

408
00:35:54,675 --> 00:35:56,051
We liberated them.

409
00:35:56,723 --> 00:36:00,026
We've been greeted more
as occupiers than liberators.

410
00:36:00,598 --> 00:36:03,016
Mongol soldiers are still stationed
on every road,

411
00:36:03,410 --> 00:36:04,853
claiming favors in every brothel.

412
00:36:04,936 --> 00:36:07,355
I won't punish my men
for securing the peace

413
00:36:07,522 --> 00:36:09,394
or for reveling with whores.

414
00:36:09,816 --> 00:36:11,338
Let the fish feast.

415
00:36:12,466 --> 00:36:14,320
What happens if they stop
killing themselves

416
00:36:14,403 --> 00:36:15,905
and find the will to start killing us?

417
00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:19,743
Then we bring the full force
of my army upon them.

418
00:36:20,534 --> 00:36:24,247
Well, if I can topple the wall,
I can certainly topple their spirits.

419
00:36:28,459 --> 00:36:30,791
What are we going to do
about their last emperor?

420
00:36:32,922 --> 00:36:34,466
His people will want him freed

421
00:36:34,548 --> 00:36:37,093
whether he remains in a prison
of stone or of gold.

422
00:36:38,344 --> 00:36:40,513
And the Mongols don't care about the boy.

423
00:36:40,596 --> 00:36:42,556
Or the future of their enemies.
Only their own.

424
00:36:44,558 --> 00:36:45,893
Get on with it.

425
00:36:47,979 --> 00:36:51,224
Well, perhaps it would be wise
to not make a show of his capture.

426
00:36:51,858 --> 00:36:53,860
Just let him fade from existence.

427
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:55,236
Precisely.

428
00:36:56,737 --> 00:36:59,282
Sidao would not have imprisoned you,
Great Khan.

429
00:36:59,365 --> 00:37:01,545
He would have paraded your head
through their streets.

430
00:37:03,619 --> 00:37:05,204
What are you suggesting?

431
00:37:08,917 --> 00:37:10,960
Parade their emperor's head
through our streets.

432
00:37:16,090 --> 00:37:17,801
You're telling me to kill a boy?

433
00:37:17,884 --> 00:37:20,288
He's not a boy, he's a symbol.

434
00:37:20,678 --> 00:37:23,480
Of a time, of a people,
of a way of thinking.

435
00:37:23,932 --> 00:37:27,936
He's hope to a vanquished foe.
And while he lives, hope lives.

436
00:37:28,019 --> 00:37:29,020
Correct, Jingim?

437
00:37:29,813 --> 00:37:32,566
No. Absolutely not correct, Ahmad.

438
00:37:32,648 --> 00:37:35,484
- Let him fade from existence.
- You cannot kill him.

439
00:37:36,194 --> 00:37:37,195
I cannot?

440
00:37:38,112 --> 00:37:40,211
Kaidu has challenged your authority.

441
00:37:40,448 --> 00:37:43,034
You have the chance to send
a powerful message throughout the kingdom.

442
00:37:43,378 --> 00:37:45,119
No mercy. No prisoners.

443
00:37:53,878 --> 00:37:55,004
He's a child.

444
00:37:55,088 --> 00:37:57,548
You just reported
that the South is not secure.

445
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,510
- I did. But there is...
- No, there is no but.

446
00:38:00,593 --> 00:38:02,761
Even a dog unknowingly craves discipline.

447
00:38:02,846 --> 00:38:05,432
And by the time he attains it,
he has forgotten how hard he was beaten.

448
00:38:05,514 --> 00:38:07,431
I was taken prisoner, too,

449
00:38:07,766 --> 00:38:10,143
but you let me live
and I've served you well.

450
00:38:13,189 --> 00:38:15,483
The boy could prove an asset.

451
00:38:38,131 --> 00:38:39,359
Still don't drink?

452
00:38:39,632 --> 00:38:40,841
As Genghis said,

453
00:38:40,925 --> 00:38:44,804
"Find me a man that doesn't drink,
and that man will lead my armies."

454
00:38:44,888 --> 00:38:48,783
Are you following Genghis
or running from your father?

455
00:38:52,896 --> 00:38:56,733
Would it help you if I told you
this wasn't wine but the blood of Christ?

456
00:38:56,999 --> 00:39:00,160
All the more reason for me
to respectfully abstain.

457
00:39:00,611 --> 00:39:05,832
It is difficult for the faithless
to understand the faithful.

458
00:39:06,534 --> 00:39:08,286
I have faith, Nayan.

459
00:39:09,095 --> 00:39:14,262
In the sun, in the sky,
in the animals I roast.

460
00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:15,751
My children.

461
00:39:15,834 --> 00:39:18,962
And who do you think created
all those things you speak of?

462
00:39:19,303 --> 00:39:22,383
Not a man who claims his father rules
from a palace in the sky

463
00:39:22,466 --> 00:39:23,884
and whose brother is a holy ghost.

464
00:39:23,968 --> 00:39:25,642
You've read the scriptures.

465
00:39:26,345 --> 00:39:27,596
What else do you know?

466
00:39:31,142 --> 00:39:32,582
My father told me...

467
00:39:33,102 --> 00:39:35,359
you can't get anything
unless you ask for it.

468
00:39:37,982 --> 00:39:39,120
Wise.

469
00:39:41,402 --> 00:39:43,495
I need you.

470
00:39:44,322 --> 00:39:46,023
You need my vote.

471
00:39:46,615 --> 00:39:49,076
- I do.
- So, why do I need you?

472
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,287
You will be a friend to the future Khan.

473
00:39:51,370 --> 00:39:54,916
Kublai is my nephew.
Our relations are strong.

474
00:39:55,666 --> 00:39:57,460
How many trips will he allow you
to the pope

475
00:39:57,543 --> 00:39:59,639
before using you to slaughter them?

476
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,841
Under my Khanate,
the West remains unscathed.

477
00:40:03,167 --> 00:40:05,719
You stay out of my business,
I stay out of yours.

478
00:40:05,801 --> 00:40:10,222
I don't concern myself with the future.
Only with what's before me.

479
00:40:10,306 --> 00:40:13,184
And that's a man who loathes
everything that I am

480
00:40:13,267 --> 00:40:15,205
but is now asking for my help.

481
00:40:15,894 --> 00:40:18,313
The chieftains wish to know
who you will support.

482
00:40:19,107 --> 00:40:20,108
Hmm.

483
00:40:23,152 --> 00:40:25,087
Should we discuss concessions then?

484
00:40:30,263 --> 00:40:31,702
I told you I don't drink.

485
00:40:32,030 --> 00:40:34,788
I need to know
what you're willing to concede.

486
00:40:57,853 --> 00:41:00,272
I apologize for wasting your time.

487
00:41:05,194 --> 00:41:07,053
Safe travels, Prince Nayan.

488
00:41:38,311 --> 00:41:41,022
There is a monastery,
I will not tell you where.

489
00:41:41,105 --> 00:41:42,691
I could find out if I wanted to...

490
00:41:42,773 --> 00:41:45,888
But you won't,
because there will never be reason to.

491
00:41:46,402 --> 00:41:49,017
I'll take him, hide him away.
Gone is gone.

492
00:41:50,156 --> 00:41:52,701
Memories are short. They will forget.

493
00:41:52,970 --> 00:41:54,827
And eventually, so will he.

494
00:41:54,910 --> 00:41:56,222
He will never forget.

495
00:41:56,620 --> 00:41:58,914
Cruel living has already stained his mind.

496
00:41:59,666 --> 00:42:03,010
He'll grow older, stronger.
He'll remember.

497
00:42:03,502 --> 00:42:05,728
Then he will come for me.

498
00:42:06,046 --> 00:42:07,631
Who will protect me then?

499
00:42:08,132 --> 00:42:09,514
I will.

500
00:42:10,593 --> 00:42:13,644
Always. If you'll let me.

501
00:42:15,013 --> 00:42:18,041
You are better than this, Kublai.

502
00:42:19,017 --> 00:42:20,081
Am I?

503
00:42:21,479 --> 00:42:22,826
Better than this?

504
00:42:26,484 --> 00:42:28,138
You are the Khan.

505
00:42:34,492 --> 00:42:36,619
And every reign will pass.

506
00:43:33,467 --> 00:43:34,538
Out.

507
00:44:02,288 --> 00:44:04,082
- Have you seen the Khan?
- I have.

508
00:44:04,164 --> 00:44:05,999
Our lord is in the throne room.

509
00:44:08,336 --> 00:44:10,713
Good night, Master Marco.

510
00:44:40,493 --> 00:44:41,577
All the power in the world

511
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:44,079
and Yusuf chose
to spend his time in this place.

512
00:44:44,162 --> 00:44:45,914
For leisure.

513
00:44:46,874 --> 00:44:48,507
He deserved to be trampled.

514
00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:52,630
- Suits me.
- Well, you don't know any better.

515
00:44:53,256 --> 00:44:54,883
And clearly you don't want to.

516
00:44:54,965 --> 00:44:56,842
When I call for you
and you don't scamper to my side,

517
00:44:56,925 --> 00:44:59,261
- I begin to question your loyalty.
- I was busy.

518
00:44:59,345 --> 00:45:02,015
- Doing what, clearing the sewers?
- Gutters.

519
00:45:03,223 --> 00:45:05,642
- Moving up in the world.
- And you?

520
00:45:06,226 --> 00:45:08,729
Still owe me for the last job
I did for you.

521
00:45:13,817 --> 00:45:15,319
You trust too easily.

522
00:45:15,986 --> 00:45:18,937
If I count it out here,
I won't make it home.

523
00:45:19,407 --> 00:45:23,452
And if this is one coin short...
I know where you live.

524
00:45:24,453 --> 00:45:27,665
How many of your Song dynasty friends
can you gather to work with you?

525
00:45:27,748 --> 00:45:32,336
Depends. When, why, and how much?

526
00:45:32,420 --> 00:45:35,131
When is to be determined, but soon.
Very soon.

527
00:45:35,213 --> 00:45:36,315
And why?

528
00:45:37,132 --> 00:45:40,177
The Khan is about to make
a decision he's going to regret.

529
00:45:40,618 --> 00:45:43,471
And what can we do for you?

530
00:45:44,348 --> 00:45:46,475
Unhinge the gates of hell.

531
00:46:40,696 --> 00:46:42,242
Emperor Zhao Xian...

532
00:46:42,781 --> 00:46:45,618
I sentence you to death.

533
00:46:45,701 --> 00:46:47,290
Do you understand?

534
00:46:56,086 --> 00:46:57,921
Stop, stop.

535
00:46:58,839 --> 00:47:01,800
Stop.

536
00:47:05,846 --> 00:47:07,556
Stop!

537
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,980
Look... here's the dagger.

538
00:47:17,608 --> 00:47:19,152
Place it here.

539
00:47:19,234 --> 00:47:20,736
All right?

540
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,364
When I was your age...

541
00:47:50,974 --> 00:47:52,884
I'd seen men die.

542
00:47:53,894 --> 00:47:55,604
Did you kill them?

543
00:47:58,190 --> 00:48:03,320
At the time, I'd only killed
a rabbit and an antelope.

544
00:48:03,862 --> 00:48:05,155
Did they cry?

545
00:48:06,907 --> 00:48:08,366
The rabbit and the antelope?

546
00:48:09,827 --> 00:48:12,003
The men you watched die.

547
00:48:25,843 --> 00:48:27,595
Some of them, yes.

548
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:34,379
I've seen bad men die.

549
00:48:34,643 --> 00:48:38,647
Am I bad?
Is that why you want me to die?

550
00:48:47,698 --> 00:48:49,367
I don't want to!

551
00:49:02,755 --> 00:49:04,047
It's all right.

552
00:49:09,386 --> 00:49:10,762
It's all right.

553
00:49:23,066 --> 00:49:24,254
All right.
