3
00:00:15,358 --> 00:00:16,860
(Dogs yapping)

4
00:00:25,493 --> 00:00:27,245
(Dogs yapping in distance)

5
00:00:45,054 --> 00:00:48,016
(Kublai) Amends must be made
for your father's crime.

6
00:00:48,099 --> 00:00:49,267
(Marco)
I understand.

7
00:00:53,354 --> 00:00:55,189
(Dogs barking)

8
00:01:02,613 --> 00:01:04,573
(Horses whinnying in distance)

9
00:01:10,704 --> 00:01:12,498
(Whinnying continues)

10
00:01:38,816 --> 00:01:40,276
(Clattering)

11
00:01:44,113 --> 00:01:46,824
(Kublai) Left to my vice regent, Yusuf,
or myself,

12
00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:49,743
your father's punishment
would be certain.

13
00:01:49,827 --> 00:01:52,330
His thief heart would now be still.

14
00:01:55,708 --> 00:01:58,252
I know the pain
this would cause you.

15
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:06,719
(Kublai)
I know compassion.

16
00:02:06,802 --> 00:02:09,597
And you know our customs.

17
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,224
Khagan's law.

18
00:02:11,307 --> 00:02:14,352
You will choose
your father's punishment.

19
00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:16,562
And then you shall find sleep.

20
00:02:19,941 --> 00:02:21,025
(Kublai groans)

21
00:02:51,055 --> 00:02:52,556
(Choking)

22
00:02:56,602 --> 00:02:57,853
(Screaming)

23
00:03:14,037 --> 00:03:15,579
(Coughing weakly)

24
00:03:51,907 --> 00:03:52,991
Don't kill him!

25
00:03:53,076 --> 00:03:55,744
We must find out who he serves.

26
00:03:57,288 --> 00:03:58,497
(Screams)

27
00:04:23,106 --> 00:04:25,108
(Theme music playing)

28
00:06:15,676 --> 00:06:18,053
(Jingim)
How is he?

29
00:06:18,136 --> 00:06:20,013
Poison of the yellow scorpion.

30
00:06:20,097 --> 00:06:23,141
The healers do not know if he
will survive the night.

31
00:06:23,226 --> 00:06:26,770
- How many assassins?
- Three.

32
00:06:26,854 --> 00:06:29,648
Where were his knights?

33
00:06:29,732 --> 00:06:31,525
Many fell this evening, Jingim.

34
00:06:31,609 --> 00:06:33,110
Against three assassins?

35
00:06:38,324 --> 00:06:40,951
I will convene the war assembly.

36
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:52,421
Our Great Khan wavers
between this life and the next...

37
00:06:52,505 --> 00:06:54,089
and we stand here...

38
00:06:54,172 --> 00:06:57,301
violated within our own walls
and wonder whether we should avenge.

39
00:06:57,385 --> 00:07:00,679
We do not yet know
who violated us.

40
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,807
(Ahmad) Is there anyone here
aside from my friend Yusuf who cannot...

41
00:07:03,891 --> 00:07:07,853
(Yusuf) You overstep your office...
my Minister of Finance.

42
00:07:07,936 --> 00:07:10,481
(Jingim) Our Lord battles
the coward's poison.

43
00:07:12,858 --> 00:07:14,568
I say this...

44
00:07:14,652 --> 00:07:19,114
I shall stand for him...
as he has for each of you.

45
00:07:19,197 --> 00:07:20,616
(Ahmad)
Prince...

46
00:07:20,699 --> 00:07:24,077
we do not know if this
is the tip of Sidao's sword.

47
00:07:24,161 --> 00:07:27,581
At this very moment, his army
could be descending upon us.

48
00:07:27,665 --> 00:07:32,210
(Yusuf) We have received
no notice from our outposts

49
00:07:32,295 --> 00:07:34,713
of any upcoming armies.

50
00:07:34,797 --> 00:07:37,215
Well, perhaps
they have been eliminated.

51
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:38,634
(Court murmuring assent)

52
00:07:41,053 --> 00:07:45,724
Thousands of imperial guards...
Mongol knights...

53
00:07:45,808 --> 00:07:47,976
a moat, deep and wide,

54
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:51,188
dogs... walls!

55
00:07:51,272 --> 00:07:55,025
How did this scum
penetrate our defenses?

56
00:07:57,194 --> 00:08:00,489
Walls and guards,
dogs and moats.

57
00:08:00,573 --> 00:08:01,615
Prince...

58
00:08:01,699 --> 00:08:06,244
the answer to the assassins' identity
rests in your question.

59
00:08:07,496 --> 00:08:10,833
They moved underwater
and through walls...

60
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:14,670
sensed only by the Khan's horses.

61
00:08:14,753 --> 00:08:18,799
Their tools were
climbing hook and shadow.

62
00:08:18,882 --> 00:08:24,096
These demons were trained
by the Old Man in the Mountain.

63
00:08:24,179 --> 00:08:26,223
They were Hashshashin.

64
00:08:27,308 --> 00:08:28,309
(Court murmuring)

65
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,063
The Hashshashin...

66
00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:37,401
were crushed by my uncle Hülegü
long before my birth.

67
00:08:37,485 --> 00:08:38,736
The Old Man and his martyrs

68
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:42,865
are nothing more than phantoms and fables
told to frighten children!

69
00:08:42,948 --> 00:08:47,370
If they were not Hashshashin,
they were trained in their ways.

70
00:08:47,453 --> 00:08:52,500
Yusuf is correct in his counsel.
These men are mercenaries.

71
00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:56,128
They could have been hired
by anyone for any reason.

72
00:08:56,211 --> 00:09:00,508
Do you advise
I send warriors in search of a myth

73
00:09:00,591 --> 00:09:04,637
when our true and very real enemy
lies in Xiangyang?

74
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,766
I suggest you open your eyes
to the possibility...

75
00:09:08,849 --> 00:09:11,226
as your father would.

76
00:09:11,309 --> 00:09:13,812
How many of our guards were slain?

77
00:09:13,896 --> 00:09:17,274
Can we afford not to search out
such a potent adversary?

78
00:09:17,358 --> 00:09:21,987
We can, blind man...
because the Old Man is dead!

79
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:24,322
Our demons lie south!

80
00:09:24,407 --> 00:09:26,909
(Marco)
With deference, Prince Jingim...

81
00:09:28,243 --> 00:09:30,328
that may not be true.

82
00:09:30,413 --> 00:09:33,957
Who allowed you access
to this assembly, Latin?

83
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,959
Jingim.

84
00:09:39,797 --> 00:09:41,173
Speak.

85
00:09:42,883 --> 00:09:44,259
On my journey to Cambulac,

86
00:09:44,342 --> 00:09:46,387
I passed a village
two weeks ride from here

87
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:48,221
named Kochkor.

88
00:09:48,305 --> 00:09:52,184
My guide...
told of a lone way station.

89
00:09:52,267 --> 00:09:55,020
He was clear that those who
speak the name of Hashshashin...

90
00:09:55,103 --> 00:09:57,398
were offering their heads
to these assassins

91
00:09:57,481 --> 00:09:59,733
who are very much alive.

92
00:09:59,817 --> 00:10:01,569
What is your point?

93
00:10:01,652 --> 00:10:05,698
If this was the Hashshashin...
we will find them there.

94
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:09,452
You say you know
where this place rests?

95
00:10:09,535 --> 00:10:11,161
(Marco)
I do.

96
00:10:11,244 --> 00:10:12,413
Byamba...

97
00:10:12,496 --> 00:10:15,749
you will ride there with a company
under the banner of the Khan.

98
00:10:15,833 --> 00:10:18,001
If Master Polo is correct...

99
00:10:18,085 --> 00:10:21,922
track the assassins and confirm
the Song rebels' complicity.

100
00:10:22,005 --> 00:10:25,468
In this answer,
the scale of war will be balanced.

101
00:10:32,516 --> 00:10:35,393
Steady your heart, Marco.
You are of...

102
00:10:43,819 --> 00:10:45,613
Prince Jingim!

103
00:10:48,782 --> 00:10:51,034
If a band of Mongolian soldiers
travel as they are,

104
00:10:51,118 --> 00:10:53,328
the Hashshashin will see danger...

105
00:10:53,411 --> 00:10:58,291
but... if they ride as escorts
for a merchant searching for poppy,

106
00:10:58,375 --> 00:11:01,795
the flower by which the Hashshashin
are said to draw their strength...

107
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:03,506
It might play a helpful ruse.

108
00:11:03,589 --> 00:11:07,843
And you, Polo, might get sliced
into fine white meat in the process.

109
00:11:08,844 --> 00:11:10,554
Prepare your horse.

110
00:11:10,638 --> 00:11:12,347
Prince...

111
00:11:12,430 --> 00:11:14,933
the Khan and I came to terms
before the attack.

112
00:11:15,017 --> 00:11:18,812
My father and uncle are to be spared.
I beg you to heed...

113
00:11:18,896 --> 00:11:23,692
Tonight... your father and uncle
are the least of my concerns.

114
00:11:23,776 --> 00:11:26,862
I make no promises for tomorrow.

115
00:11:33,536 --> 00:11:35,871
(Za Bing) An attempt has been made
on the Khan's life.

116
00:11:38,081 --> 00:11:42,377
- Is he alive?
- Some say yes. Some no.

117
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:46,173
A party rides
to find those responsible.

118
00:11:46,256 --> 00:11:49,760
Master Polo is among them.

119
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,598
(Hundred Eyes) I have taught you
to blend with every attack.

120
00:11:54,682 --> 00:11:56,183
Absorb your opponent.

121
00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:59,562
- When water is poured into a vessel...
- It becomes the vessel.

122
00:11:59,645 --> 00:12:03,607
But the Hashshashin
are not common warriors.

123
00:12:03,691 --> 00:12:09,196
The Old Man trains them to enter
the shadow- self, the demon- self.

124
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:12,282
That is their art.

125
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:14,993
How does one
absorb such darkness

126
00:12:15,077 --> 00:12:17,913
and yet return to the light?

127
00:12:17,996 --> 00:12:21,166
Especially one unsure
of his place in the world?

128
00:12:22,585 --> 00:12:28,423
If you seek and find the assassins,
you will need to become the vessel.

129
00:12:28,506 --> 00:12:32,678
If you don't go deep enough,
they will smell you and kill you.

130
00:12:33,596 --> 00:12:35,430
Go too deep...

131
00:12:35,513 --> 00:12:38,892
and you will not return
from Eagle's Teaching.

132
00:12:38,976 --> 00:12:40,352
What marks the balance?

133
00:12:40,435 --> 00:12:43,355
Certainty of self.

134
00:12:44,022 --> 00:12:46,859
I do not go for myself, Sifu.

135
00:12:46,942 --> 00:12:48,235
I go for my father.

136
00:12:50,528 --> 00:12:52,865
Ride beneath the skyline.

137
00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:54,908
The Hashshashin
do not wish to be found.

138
00:12:54,992 --> 00:12:58,328
They will find you.

139
00:13:06,461 --> 00:13:09,547
(Za Bing) Master Marco...
a moment, please.

140
00:13:28,025 --> 00:13:32,821
Byamba will travel with a golden tablet.
All gates will open before you.

141
00:13:32,905 --> 00:13:34,406
Why are you telling me this?

142
00:13:34,489 --> 00:13:37,367
If the Lord Khan dies
while you're gone...

143
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,494
so does your only advocate.

144
00:13:39,577 --> 00:13:42,039
Take this tragedy for what it is.

145
00:13:42,122 --> 00:13:44,833
Opportunity. Run.

146
00:14:19,242 --> 00:14:20,493
(Indistinct murmuring)

147
00:14:21,494 --> 00:14:23,205
(Jia Sidao)
This...

148
00:14:24,122 --> 00:14:27,542
is what happens when
we barter with barbarians.

149
00:14:27,625 --> 00:14:31,129
Cruelty must be met with cruelty.

150
00:14:31,213 --> 00:14:35,425
We must lay waste to their cities,
their women and children.

151
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:39,847
We must drive them back into
the savage hole from which they slid.

152
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:43,225
It is time for war.

153
00:14:44,893 --> 00:14:49,147
(Red Brow) The Emperor's army is yours
to do with as you please...

154
00:14:49,231 --> 00:14:51,233
my Chancellor.

155
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:10,753
(Ahmad) You understand
it takes time to gather the troops,

156
00:15:10,836 --> 00:15:13,881
- to prepare for battle...
- Do you forget who I am?

157
00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:18,635
I humbly ask that you
give the order to mobilize.

158
00:15:22,139 --> 00:15:24,641
If you do not prepare to strike...

159
00:15:24,725 --> 00:15:27,435
worse... prepare to be struck.

160
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,981
The Latin may prove Jia Sidao
innocent of the attempt.

161
00:15:38,363 --> 00:15:40,698
It may.

162
00:15:40,783 --> 00:15:43,493
Do you not find it odd, Prince...

163
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:47,039
that Master Marco spoke so surely
of the assassins' whereabouts?

164
00:15:47,122 --> 00:15:49,207
So quick to return?

165
00:15:49,291 --> 00:15:51,877
He does so for the sake of
his own father's head.

166
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,046
And that is my point.

167
00:15:54,129 --> 00:15:57,132
What would you not do
to realize the dreams of your father?

168
00:15:59,301 --> 00:16:00,718
Nothing.

169
00:16:00,803 --> 00:16:04,431
The Khan continues to embrace
this boy we know so little about.

170
00:16:05,390 --> 00:16:09,519
The West is not ignorant
to the Khan's designs.

171
00:16:09,602 --> 00:16:12,605
Would we not plant rot
within the foundation of their house

172
00:16:12,689 --> 00:16:14,732
and let it fester
and collapse upon itself?

173
00:16:14,817 --> 00:16:17,986
You think he travels
to cover transgressions?

174
00:16:20,322 --> 00:16:21,907
I don't know.

175
00:16:22,825 --> 00:16:24,910
Perhaps grief
invades my thoughts.

176
00:16:48,934 --> 00:16:53,355
(Byamba) Has anyone thanked you...
for saving my father's life?

177
00:16:55,273 --> 00:16:58,776
(Marco) Had you and Hundred Eyes
not arrived, the Khan would be dead...

178
00:16:58,861 --> 00:17:02,489
as would I.
So... my thanks to you.

179
00:17:03,949 --> 00:17:05,575
Jingim as Khan...

180
00:17:07,202 --> 00:17:11,123
- You believe he is not fit?
- I never said that.

181
00:17:11,206 --> 00:17:12,916
Do you?

182
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,793
This is not my home.
I'm a guest.

183
00:17:15,878 --> 00:17:17,963
It's not my place to judge my host.

184
00:17:21,591 --> 00:17:23,218
(Byamba)
I hated these as a boy.

185
00:17:23,301 --> 00:17:25,929
Rotten, sour.

186
00:17:26,013 --> 00:17:27,597
My mother made me eat them.

187
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,225
She said they kept me healthy.

188
00:17:30,308 --> 00:17:31,434
And now?

189
00:17:31,518 --> 00:17:33,603
A superstition before battle.

190
00:17:33,686 --> 00:17:37,649
Of course, she meant
they were good for my teeth.

191
00:17:37,732 --> 00:17:40,360
Were you close to her?

192
00:17:40,443 --> 00:17:41,819
(Byamba)
I had to be.

193
00:17:41,904 --> 00:17:45,407
Son of a consort
is never fully accepted in court.

194
00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:48,826
Will they let me spill blood
on the battlefield? Yes.

195
00:17:51,413 --> 00:17:52,622
You?

196
00:17:52,705 --> 00:17:54,917
Were you close to your mother?

197
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,252
She died when I was young.

198
00:17:57,335 --> 00:17:59,754
I was raised by my aunt.

199
00:17:59,837 --> 00:18:02,840
I didn't know my father
until three years ago.

200
00:18:04,426 --> 00:18:06,678
Son of an adventurer.

201
00:18:08,263 --> 00:18:11,433
Fathers are destined to disappoint sons,
and sons, their fathers.

202
00:18:11,516 --> 00:18:13,435
The Khan has disappointed you?

203
00:18:14,061 --> 00:18:16,729
I'm able to find the difference
between the Khan and the man.

204
00:18:18,065 --> 00:18:19,524
Didn't know that was allowed.

205
00:18:20,442 --> 00:18:22,194
What is locked behind
the doors of the heart

206
00:18:22,277 --> 00:18:23,987
is no one's business
but one's own.

207
00:18:24,071 --> 00:18:26,448
So, let's talk about the man,
and not the Khan.

208
00:18:26,531 --> 00:18:28,450
Make no mistake...

209
00:18:28,533 --> 00:18:32,204
even if we meet under the Blue Sky,
I will never open those doors to you.

210
00:18:33,205 --> 00:18:35,415
And I would never knock.

211
00:18:36,541 --> 00:18:39,086
You think by doing this,
you can save your father's life?

212
00:18:40,963 --> 00:18:43,340
I avenge the Khan
and hope he shows him favor.

213
00:18:44,967 --> 00:18:47,302
The point of all this was to thank you.

214
00:18:47,385 --> 00:18:50,430
So... thank you.

215
00:20:01,376 --> 00:20:03,878
Ride swift. Sidao must know.

216
00:20:03,961 --> 00:20:07,590
If he does not know that already.
Have you not considered that?

217
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:13,971
The Mongols will look for spies now,
seek out conspirators.

218
00:20:14,056 --> 00:20:18,226
You must escape.
Deliver this message yourself.

219
00:20:19,852 --> 00:20:22,855
If Sidao did not
give the command...

220
00:20:22,939 --> 00:20:24,982
I must stay.

221
00:20:25,067 --> 00:20:28,320
My daughter lives or dies
by my decision.

222
00:20:28,403 --> 00:20:29,904
I remain.

223
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,526
(Yusuf)
Who hired you to kill the Khan?

224
00:21:08,610 --> 00:21:10,987
I am destined for Paradise.

225
00:21:11,071 --> 00:21:14,574
That is all I know
and all I will ever claim to know.

226
00:21:23,875 --> 00:21:26,086
(Groaning)

227
00:21:26,169 --> 00:21:28,671
You don't want to do that.

228
00:21:30,382 --> 00:21:33,760
If you scream...
you tear your mouth.

229
00:21:35,178 --> 00:21:38,890
And the more you scream...
the more damage you do to yourself.

230
00:21:39,932 --> 00:21:42,769
Who hired you?

231
00:21:42,852 --> 00:21:46,273
I am destined for Paradise.

232
00:21:46,356 --> 00:21:50,860
That is all I know
and all I will ever claim to know.

233
00:21:50,943 --> 00:21:52,279
(Yusuf)
Very well.

234
00:21:54,281 --> 00:21:55,573
(Jingim)
Anything?

235
00:21:56,616 --> 00:21:59,286
(Sighing)
He may know nothing.

236
00:22:01,204 --> 00:22:03,165
May know nothing
or knows nothing?

237
00:22:04,081 --> 00:22:05,292
May.

238
00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:09,879
Then flay the skin from his bones
until you know.

239
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:25,312
You heard the Prince.

240
00:22:25,395 --> 00:22:30,525
Let us announce to Paradise...
your pending arrival.

241
00:22:34,779 --> 00:22:36,198
(Screaming)

242
00:22:36,281 --> 00:22:38,157
(Screams echoing)

243
00:22:39,826 --> 00:22:41,077
(Door opening)

244
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,695
How did you come to name your son?

245
00:23:16,404 --> 00:23:18,948
I did not name Marco.

246
00:23:20,367 --> 00:23:21,909
His mother had that honor.

247
00:23:21,993 --> 00:23:23,370
Why?

248
00:23:25,037 --> 00:23:27,874
I was not present at his birth.

249
00:23:27,957 --> 00:23:29,041
Where were you?

250
00:23:30,377 --> 00:23:33,045
In the world.

251
00:23:35,673 --> 00:23:39,176
So, you abandoned him
before he was even born?

252
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:44,181
I was trying to make
a name for my family.

253
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,894
Although I did not know him...

254
00:23:47,977 --> 00:23:50,897
everything I have done in my life
has been for him.

255
00:23:51,814 --> 00:23:55,109
I wanted the world
to know the Polo name.

256
00:23:55,192 --> 00:23:57,111
So, for legacy?

257
00:23:57,194 --> 00:23:59,155
Yes.

258
00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:00,615
(Jingim)
His legacy?

259
00:24:02,784 --> 00:24:04,243
Yes.

260
00:24:05,161 --> 00:24:07,955
Do you think
that is what he wanted?

261
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,000
Do you think that was what
he needed from his father?

262
00:24:11,083 --> 00:24:12,794
Legacy?

263
00:24:12,877 --> 00:24:16,130
Do you know what your son
asked of me just before he left?

264
00:24:16,213 --> 00:24:19,133
"Keep them alive until I return.

265
00:24:19,216 --> 00:24:22,053
Keep them alive."

266
00:24:22,136 --> 00:24:23,930
Even after you
had abandoned him,

267
00:24:24,013 --> 00:24:25,682
after he could have died
for your transgressions,

268
00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:28,059
he was still concerned for you.

269
00:24:30,102 --> 00:24:32,229
What a fool.

270
00:24:34,941 --> 00:24:36,275
(Niccolò gasps)

271
00:24:40,905 --> 00:24:43,450
Never the matter.

272
00:24:43,533 --> 00:24:45,868
Marco will fall
and you with him.

273
00:25:31,038 --> 00:25:35,752
All right, my merchant friend.
Let us go peddle your wares.

274
00:25:36,878 --> 00:25:39,672
We ride below the skyline.

275
00:25:39,756 --> 00:25:43,259
That is not how we attract
the buyers we need.

276
00:25:55,772 --> 00:25:57,524
(Indistinct chatter)

277
00:26:08,826 --> 00:26:10,412
(Chatter ceases)

278
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:14,331
(Greeting in Arabic)

279
00:26:29,847 --> 00:26:30,973
(Speaking English)
Done.

280
00:26:39,356 --> 00:26:43,152
The Chinese say...
"You can name a price for gold...

281
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:47,657
but not for the white jade
from the Kingdom of Khotan."

282
00:26:49,576 --> 00:26:53,746
I do not lie when I say
it's the most precious of all gems...

283
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:57,500
and sought by the imperial court.

284
00:26:57,584 --> 00:27:00,503
What do you wish for this...
white stone?

285
00:27:01,504 --> 00:27:05,341
The flower that
guides the way to Paradise.

286
00:27:07,134 --> 00:27:08,636
I wish to speak with the Old Man.

287
00:27:21,273 --> 00:27:22,316
(Byamba sighs)

288
00:27:22,399 --> 00:27:24,694
I guess we said something wrong.

289
00:27:45,715 --> 00:27:47,133
(Jingim)
Where are you?

290
00:27:47,216 --> 00:27:51,679
Wherever he has gone...
he will return.

291
00:28:06,068 --> 00:28:10,114
I realize now that I had no idea
the pressure one is under...

292
00:28:10,197 --> 00:28:12,408
turning a son into a man.

293
00:28:14,536 --> 00:28:17,914
Forget all the citizens in the realm.

294
00:28:17,997 --> 00:28:21,918
The responsibility parents have
for that one soul.

295
00:28:22,919 --> 00:28:26,005
It is a great challenge...

296
00:28:26,088 --> 00:28:29,091
and... a greater honor.

297
00:28:35,598 --> 00:28:37,684
You are so at peace.

298
00:28:39,268 --> 00:28:43,189
Peace is found
in the heart of the faithful.

299
00:28:43,940 --> 00:28:46,317
How can you be
so sure he will wake?

300
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,530
My faith is rooted in what is next for him
should he not awaken.

301
00:28:50,613 --> 00:28:53,825
I think too much on this life, Mother...

302
00:28:53,908 --> 00:28:56,243
to consider what lies beyond.

303
00:29:15,638 --> 00:29:18,558
(Weeping softly)

304
00:29:28,525 --> 00:29:29,902
May I sit?

305
00:29:31,946 --> 00:29:33,615
If your intent is on trade.

306
00:29:33,698 --> 00:29:38,244
It remains unclaimed.
Perhaps your price is too high.

307
00:29:38,327 --> 00:29:42,081
Everything is open to barter.
What are you offering?

308
00:29:42,164 --> 00:29:44,208
Opportunity.

309
00:29:45,126 --> 00:29:46,127
For?

310
00:29:47,128 --> 00:29:50,297
Leaving through that door
still standing upright.

311
00:29:53,676 --> 00:29:56,012
And here I was
being so gracious.

312
00:29:56,095 --> 00:29:59,431
As am I.
I haven't leaned in yet.

313
00:29:59,974 --> 00:30:01,058
Who are you?

314
00:30:01,976 --> 00:30:04,353
There are two answers to that question.

315
00:30:04,436 --> 00:30:06,147
The first is...

316
00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:08,440
I am the owner of the chair
upon which you sit.

317
00:30:10,151 --> 00:30:11,360
And the second?

318
00:30:11,443 --> 00:30:14,781
The last face you will see
before descending into darkness.

319
00:30:18,034 --> 00:30:19,035
Look around you.

320
00:30:25,541 --> 00:30:26,668
Over the generations,

321
00:30:26,751 --> 00:30:31,088
these eaves have shielded the backs
of every culture known to man...

322
00:30:31,172 --> 00:30:35,134
and as such...
I know man...

323
00:30:35,217 --> 00:30:37,386
the strong and the weak,

324
00:30:37,469 --> 00:30:41,557
the bold and the cowardly,
the keen and the foolish...

325
00:30:41,641 --> 00:30:44,936
and you are strong... bold...

326
00:30:45,019 --> 00:30:49,398
and far from foolish enough
to track this trouble across my floor...

327
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:53,235
unless you have convinced yourselves
through conditioning...

328
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,529
that no harm will befall you.

329
00:30:57,114 --> 00:30:58,365
Show me.

330
00:31:08,584 --> 00:31:12,004
The Khan of Khans
grants the golden tablet to poppy dealers?

331
00:31:12,088 --> 00:31:13,589
No...

332
00:31:13,673 --> 00:31:16,718
a bureaucrat in the Secretariat
with a liking for hashish.

333
00:31:16,801 --> 00:31:19,095
I do not carry
the product you seek.

334
00:31:19,178 --> 00:31:21,931
(Scoffs)
Then what kind of seller are you?

335
00:31:23,099 --> 00:31:25,517
I am the man in the middle.

336
00:31:25,601 --> 00:31:27,937
We want the Gatekeeper of Paradise.

337
00:31:28,855 --> 00:31:31,023
That man...

338
00:31:31,107 --> 00:31:32,900
is far too deadly.

339
00:31:35,236 --> 00:31:36,570
Let us weigh the stakes.

340
00:31:38,447 --> 00:31:40,366
I misread you.

341
00:31:41,658 --> 00:31:43,327
You are a fool.

342
00:32:06,475 --> 00:32:07,977
(Knock on door)

343
00:32:12,398 --> 00:32:13,941
Continue.

344
00:32:30,917 --> 00:32:32,877
(Jingim)
Sidao slaughtered his ambassadors.

345
00:32:33,795 --> 00:32:34,796
My Prince?

346
00:32:34,879 --> 00:32:38,549
The Song ambassadors
we parleyed with...

347
00:32:38,632 --> 00:32:39,675
the warriors we freed,

348
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:41,928
they were all butchered
returning to Xiangyang.

349
00:32:42,011 --> 00:32:46,348
Sidao lays the blame at our doorstep.
His army prepares for battle.

350
00:32:47,641 --> 00:32:49,936
Diplomacy is dead.

351
00:32:52,146 --> 00:32:54,523
You negotiated a true peace.

352
00:32:54,606 --> 00:32:55,983
Empress Dowager would've embraced it.

353
00:32:56,067 --> 00:32:59,695
Sidao has rejected our truce
with steel and blood.

354
00:33:01,322 --> 00:33:02,489
This is a good sign.

355
00:33:02,573 --> 00:33:04,033
Find for me the good in this.

356
00:33:04,116 --> 00:33:05,827
We have clarity of the inevitable.

357
00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:08,412
We know now
Xiangyang is divided.

358
00:33:08,495 --> 00:33:12,333
War is how this will end...
and now is a time to strike.

359
00:33:12,416 --> 00:33:15,086
We do not know
if Sidao moved against my father.

360
00:33:15,169 --> 00:33:17,629
We do not know if the Song
mobilize to attack or to defend.

361
00:33:17,713 --> 00:33:19,465
- We know nothing...
- (Ahmad) My Prince!

362
00:33:19,548 --> 00:33:23,677
My brother, yes, we need not march,
but... at least marshal our forces.

363
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,679
We must prepare.

364
00:33:25,762 --> 00:33:28,349
In this, you must not fail.

365
00:33:28,432 --> 00:33:29,892
Gather your generals.

366
00:33:29,976 --> 00:33:31,102
Speak to them as warriors

367
00:33:31,185 --> 00:33:34,105
and they will follow you
past the gates of death.

368
00:33:34,188 --> 00:33:36,107
As they followed me at Wuchang?

369
00:33:36,190 --> 00:33:37,984
The army respects you.

370
00:33:38,067 --> 00:33:40,194
You attacked at Wuchang
against greater numbers.

371
00:33:40,277 --> 00:33:41,737
And I failed.

372
00:33:41,821 --> 00:33:44,781
But only while daring greatly.

373
00:33:44,866 --> 00:33:47,701
You advanced on a larger army
as Genghis would.

374
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:51,413
Soldiers understand
losing is part of the journey...

375
00:33:51,497 --> 00:33:54,917
so long as their leader
does not believe it the destination.

376
00:33:55,001 --> 00:33:56,543
Your father understands this.

377
00:33:57,378 --> 00:33:58,712
He did not act as if he did.

378
00:33:58,795 --> 00:34:01,132
Would you have him savor defeat?

379
00:34:03,092 --> 00:34:05,511
No...

380
00:34:05,594 --> 00:34:08,097
but to speak as you do...

381
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:09,473
once.

382
00:34:09,556 --> 00:34:11,808
He feels as I do...

383
00:34:11,893 --> 00:34:14,854
and he would say it now,
had he voice.

384
00:34:14,937 --> 00:34:17,731
Lend him your voice.

385
00:34:17,814 --> 00:34:22,153
Speak for Father now...
and command as Khan.

386
00:34:43,925 --> 00:34:46,718
(Byamba) Who is the
Old Man in the Mountain?

387
00:34:46,802 --> 00:34:49,972
(Sabbah) You certainly
are not fond of your throat, are you?

388
00:34:50,056 --> 00:34:52,474
You will not speak his name...

389
00:34:52,558 --> 00:34:57,313
and once I have taken you to him...
you will never return again.

390
00:34:57,396 --> 00:35:01,984
We have no reason to...
unless we are invited by you.

391
00:35:02,068 --> 00:35:03,485
(Sabbah laughs)

392
00:35:03,569 --> 00:35:05,779
You learn well, Europa.

393
00:35:10,284 --> 00:35:12,036
Which way?

394
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:14,288
To Eagle's Teaching?

395
00:35:15,206 --> 00:35:18,625
One can only enter through Paradise.

396
00:35:18,709 --> 00:35:20,336
(Eagle screeching)

397
00:35:24,798 --> 00:35:26,550
(Sabbah)
A secret order

398
00:35:26,633 --> 00:35:29,595
formed at the time
of the First Crusade.

399
00:35:29,678 --> 00:35:32,473
The Old Man has
always lived among them...

400
00:35:32,556 --> 00:35:35,267
granting access to Paradise.

401
00:35:38,062 --> 00:35:39,771
Is he a magic man?

402
00:35:39,855 --> 00:35:41,482
He is a holy man.

403
00:35:41,565 --> 00:35:45,236
I think you trade
in black market fables.

404
00:35:45,319 --> 00:35:47,904
That's what I think.

405
00:35:47,989 --> 00:35:52,618
You have a much more genteel personality
than your friend.

406
00:35:52,701 --> 00:35:56,956
It takes time...
but he will soften... eventually.

407
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:59,000
I will not.

408
00:35:59,083 --> 00:36:00,292
(Chuckles)

409
00:36:17,309 --> 00:36:19,395
Byamba, do you see?

410
00:36:26,735 --> 00:36:29,113
It is not the sun.

411
00:36:29,196 --> 00:36:34,785
It's a... golden passage...
into the heavens.

412
00:36:34,868 --> 00:36:38,205
Marvelous description.

413
00:36:50,092 --> 00:36:52,011
Are they watching us now?

414
00:36:52,094 --> 00:36:55,806
They have been watching you
since before we exchanged names.

415
00:40:13,545 --> 00:40:14,921
You are the Old Man.

416
00:40:15,005 --> 00:40:19,050
Some call me by that name, yes...

417
00:40:19,134 --> 00:40:24,515
but I've lived more lives
than any man under the sun...

418
00:40:24,598 --> 00:40:29,144
and will live many more
beyond this day.

419
00:40:29,228 --> 00:40:33,565
(Marco) And this... is a place
of hidden knowledge?

420
00:40:33,649 --> 00:40:37,444
(Old Man)
This is a place of freedom...

421
00:40:37,528 --> 00:40:42,491
where no one questions who you are,
where you come from,

422
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:45,244
what tongue you speak.

423
00:40:45,327 --> 00:40:49,373
You are welcome as you are, son.

424
00:40:49,456 --> 00:40:53,084
I can return you to Paradise
if you wish.

425
00:40:53,168 --> 00:40:54,836
What have you done with our men?

426
00:40:55,504 --> 00:40:58,715
It is their choice to stay or leave.

427
00:40:58,799 --> 00:41:01,217
Some prefer to stay.

428
00:41:01,302 --> 00:41:04,430
So, tell me, Marco Polo...

429
00:41:04,513 --> 00:41:06,307
why did you come?

430
00:41:06,973 --> 00:41:09,851
To discover or to destroy?

431
00:41:09,935 --> 00:41:12,396
Give me my men
and I will give you the answer.

432
00:41:15,148 --> 00:41:17,651
Discovery.

433
00:41:17,734 --> 00:41:20,487
I came to learn
who hired your assassins.

434
00:41:21,988 --> 00:41:23,615
Offer me this knowledge...

435
00:41:23,699 --> 00:41:27,536
and you will gain favor
with the most powerful man on earth.

436
00:41:27,619 --> 00:41:29,705
The Great Khan lives, then.

437
00:41:29,788 --> 00:41:32,123
And your disciples do not.

438
00:41:34,418 --> 00:41:36,169
Kill us...

439
00:41:37,296 --> 00:41:41,091
and the Khan will finish
what his ancestors began.

440
00:41:41,174 --> 00:41:43,844
He must find us first.

441
00:41:43,927 --> 00:41:45,721
(Marco)
If I could find you...

442
00:41:46,472 --> 00:41:49,391
the Mongols will find you.

443
00:41:49,475 --> 00:41:53,312
They will rain fire,
black out the sun.

444
00:41:53,395 --> 00:41:56,523
You will have no peace,
no sanctuary...

445
00:41:56,607 --> 00:41:59,985
and my Great Khan
will prove you mortal.

446
00:42:00,068 --> 00:42:05,574
You are precisely
the kind of young man I welcome here.

447
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,370
Clever... spirited...

448
00:42:09,453 --> 00:42:15,000
and deserving of Paradise,
however you define it.

449
00:42:22,298 --> 00:42:27,053
We do not deal in name and faces...

450
00:42:28,597 --> 00:42:31,307
only in coin and anonymity.

451
00:42:31,392 --> 00:42:34,395
And how much coin
did the Song Chancellor give you?

452
00:42:35,145 --> 00:42:40,901
The hand that dropped the purse
lives far closer to home, son.

453
00:42:52,413 --> 00:42:55,081
(Old Man)
Safe journey, Marco Polo.

454
00:42:56,332 --> 00:42:58,126
(Man groaning weakly)

455
00:43:13,349 --> 00:43:16,395
How many more days and nights
will this continue?

456
00:43:16,478 --> 00:43:17,521
(Yusuf sighs)

457
00:43:17,604 --> 00:43:21,733
What do you hope to get from a man...
we know can give you nothing?

458
00:43:23,402 --> 00:43:25,821
Nothing but hope...

459
00:43:25,904 --> 00:43:29,450
that he might give me
anything to use to avoid your war.

460
00:43:32,411 --> 00:43:36,498
You and I are not Mongols.
We are servants.

461
00:43:36,582 --> 00:43:38,083
(Chuckles)
This is not my war.

462
00:43:38,166 --> 00:43:41,002
Yet you fight for it so rabidly.

463
00:43:41,086 --> 00:43:43,338
And you so rabidly against it.

464
00:43:43,422 --> 00:43:44,506
Why?

465
00:43:45,424 --> 00:43:48,844
The rebels have not once
set foot outside Xiangyang...

466
00:43:48,927 --> 00:43:51,179
for any purpose
but trade and travel.

467
00:43:51,262 --> 00:43:52,556
They stage raids

468
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:54,808
and they attack my collectors
as they ride the realm.

469
00:43:54,891 --> 00:43:59,438
The price of doing business
in a treacherous world.

470
00:43:59,521 --> 00:44:03,775
Their army hides behind walls
for fear of extermination,

471
00:44:03,859 --> 00:44:07,696
a wall that has
defied and denied us for 70 years.

472
00:44:07,779 --> 00:44:10,866
Our men will die for no reason...

473
00:44:10,949 --> 00:44:14,285
save the ego of the man
ordering the breach.

474
00:44:15,662 --> 00:44:17,581
Ego...

475
00:44:17,664 --> 00:44:20,291
not armies, destroys empires.

476
00:44:21,752 --> 00:44:26,089
Our Khan is chased to the wall
by the ghost of Genghis.

477
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,887
Our Khan still breathes.

478
00:44:33,304 --> 00:44:34,806
(Man groaning)

479
00:44:37,893 --> 00:44:40,979
(Yusuf) The man will soon
join his brothers...

480
00:44:41,062 --> 00:44:44,315
and if you have your way, Ahmad...

481
00:44:44,399 --> 00:44:46,485
so shall we all.

482
00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:53,700
(Sighs)

483
00:45:07,213 --> 00:45:10,091
(Jia Sidao)
Word from my sister.

484
00:45:10,175 --> 00:45:13,554
Someone has attempted
to kill the barbarian king.

485
00:45:20,351 --> 00:45:22,979
We're not alone
in our loathing of the Khan.

486
00:45:28,026 --> 00:45:31,529
The devil sleeps soundly tonight.

487
00:45:31,613 --> 00:45:33,114
It displeases me.

488
00:45:34,032 --> 00:45:37,619
But he will survive.
He's fated to do so.

489
00:45:45,376 --> 00:45:49,130
Someone has foolishly
stepped upon my path...

490
00:45:49,214 --> 00:45:52,634
endeavoring to forge a tributary
and force me down it.

491
00:45:53,551 --> 00:45:55,887
The Khan will awaken.

492
00:45:55,971 --> 00:45:58,890
The Mongol horde
will descend upon my wall...

493
00:45:58,974 --> 00:46:00,892
and my blade...

494
00:46:00,976 --> 00:46:04,395
will find its destiny
in the barbarian's heart.

495
00:46:09,860 --> 00:46:12,821
You are the only one
I might speak freely to...

496
00:46:12,904 --> 00:46:15,198
the only one I can trust.

497
00:46:19,661 --> 00:46:22,748
It makes me happy
to know I have this with you.

498
00:46:26,793 --> 00:46:29,004
(Byamba)
This is my father's private quarters.

499
00:46:29,087 --> 00:46:32,215
The traitor
is someone in his service...

500
00:46:32,298 --> 00:46:33,591
someone he trusts.

501
00:46:34,509 --> 00:46:36,637
I may know the hand
that made these marks.

502
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:38,013
Whose hand?

503
00:46:38,764 --> 00:46:40,974
Someone who has passed on.

504
00:46:56,698 --> 00:46:58,616
Two months to the Hindu Kush.

505
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:02,120
Up, down, give or take a year
and you're in Venice.

506
00:47:02,203 --> 00:47:05,373
You have time
before the snows fall.

507
00:47:05,456 --> 00:47:07,918
You were killed by the Hashshashin.

508
00:47:09,836 --> 00:47:11,129
You would let me go?

509
00:47:11,212 --> 00:47:13,173
You are a guest
in someone else's home.

510
00:47:13,256 --> 00:47:15,008
You should leave when you wish.

511
00:47:15,091 --> 00:47:18,469
Upon our return, your host may be gone
and you would be friendless.

512
00:47:18,553 --> 00:47:20,681
Are we not now friends, Byamba?

513
00:47:20,764 --> 00:47:23,058
I cannot save you in Cambulac.

514
00:47:30,648 --> 00:47:32,400
Would you defy the Khan?

515
00:47:32,483 --> 00:47:33,651
(Byamba)
No...

516
00:47:33,735 --> 00:47:36,071
but this is my home...

517
00:47:36,154 --> 00:47:39,407
and if someone were keeping me from it,
I would kill to return.

518
00:47:42,618 --> 00:47:43,995
(Sighing)

519
00:48:27,205 --> 00:48:28,623
(Ahmad)
Jingim!

520
00:48:28,706 --> 00:48:30,291
Our father wakes.

521
00:48:32,794 --> 00:48:34,629
Welcome news, brother.

522
00:48:35,797 --> 00:48:37,382
I will join him.

523
00:49:12,375 --> 00:49:14,585
My head is weak.

524
00:49:15,837 --> 00:49:17,547
It will strengthen.

525
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,759
Perhaps it's best if it did not.

526
00:49:21,843 --> 00:49:25,055
My son seems to have
that side well under control.

527
00:49:26,472 --> 00:49:29,767
You could easily have rushed into war.

528
00:49:29,851 --> 00:49:32,687
Few would have questioned the move.

529
00:49:32,770 --> 00:49:34,772
Your control guided you.

530
00:49:36,274 --> 00:49:38,776
I never felt in control, Sire.

531
00:49:38,860 --> 00:49:40,278
(Chuckling)

532
00:49:45,992 --> 00:49:47,828
Curse of the Khanate.

533
00:49:49,204 --> 00:49:51,414
The kingdom must know
that I'm alive and well

534
00:49:51,497 --> 00:49:53,624
before we march into war.

535
00:49:53,708 --> 00:49:55,919
Get me to my throne.

536
00:49:57,628 --> 00:49:58,671
(Grunting)

537
00:49:59,881 --> 00:50:00,966
(Chuckles)

538
00:50:36,292 --> 00:50:38,294
(Horses approaching)

539
00:50:58,731 --> 00:51:00,901
(Byamba) It has details
of your inner chamber

540
00:51:00,984 --> 00:51:03,153
few would know, Lord Khan.

541
00:51:03,236 --> 00:51:06,697
I spend my Khanate
embracing enemy cultures.

542
00:51:06,781 --> 00:51:11,202
Treachery grows well in
the fertile soil of contempt I've tilled.

543
00:51:11,286 --> 00:51:12,703
Who else knows of this map?

544
00:51:12,787 --> 00:51:16,499
No one... but Byamba,
myself, and its creator.

545
00:51:16,582 --> 00:51:18,209
Circle must remain small.

546
00:51:18,293 --> 00:51:19,544
What of Jingim?

547
00:51:20,503 --> 00:51:23,423
I do not wish to burden him as of yet.

548
00:51:23,506 --> 00:51:25,300
You say you recognize the scratch?

549
00:51:26,217 --> 00:51:29,887
I wish to confirm this belief
before I tarnish his name any further.

550
00:51:32,390 --> 00:51:34,725
I trust you both to do so.

551
00:51:34,809 --> 00:51:38,146
Follow the map, where it leads,
under my aegis.

552
00:51:38,229 --> 00:51:40,231
Bring answers back to your Khan.

553
00:51:51,159 --> 00:51:53,036
Hold, Latin.

554
00:52:00,418 --> 00:52:04,880
You defended me courageously...
even in the face of death.

555
00:52:05,798 --> 00:52:07,550
I was one of many...

556
00:52:07,633 --> 00:52:10,345
and it pleases me greatly
to return and find you well.

557
00:52:10,428 --> 00:52:12,138
Mmm.

558
00:52:12,222 --> 00:52:14,349
Have you made your decision...

559
00:52:14,432 --> 00:52:16,684
regarding the fate
of your father and uncle?

560
00:52:17,602 --> 00:52:20,271
No, Lord Kublai.

561
00:52:20,355 --> 00:52:22,940
I thought... I hoped...

562
00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:25,860
you might pardon them.

563
00:52:26,569 --> 00:52:28,363
Is pardon punishment?

564
00:52:29,780 --> 00:52:33,743
I wished... you would spare them.

565
00:52:34,577 --> 00:52:36,412
Why would I do that?

566
00:52:40,208 --> 00:52:41,501
(Maffeo praying in Latin)

567
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,694
(Screaming)

568
00:53:11,406 --> 00:53:13,074
(Whimpering)

569
00:53:22,042 --> 00:53:23,584
(Screaming)

570
00:53:31,092 --> 00:53:32,593
(Niccolò groaning)
