Ying xiong Hero
|
| 00:00:59 |
Two thousand years ago.. |
| 00:01:04 |
For years they battled for supremacy |
| 00:01:09 |
The King of Qin was the most ruthless |
| 00:01:15 |
The annals of Chinese history |
| 00:01:25 |
This is one of those legends... |
| 00:02:14 |
I was orphaned at an early age |
| 00:02:16 |
I had no name, |
| 00:02:20 |
Being a nobody, |
| 00:02:23 |
After 10 years of practice |
| 00:02:24 |
I acquired a unique skill. |
| 00:02:27 |
The King of Qin has summoned me. |
| 00:02:29 |
My deeds have astonished the Kingdom. |
| 00:03:11 |
By order of his Majesty |
| 00:03:12 |
we have brought the mighty warrior. |
| 00:03:36 |
Sky, Flying Snow and Broken Sword, |
| 00:03:40 |
the three assassins from Zhao |
| 00:03:42 |
have sought his Majesty's life. |
| 00:03:45 |
his Majesty has known no peace. |
| 00:03:50 |
To the astonishment of all |
| 00:03:51 |
a mighty warrior of Qin |
| 00:03:55 |
His Majesty can finally sleep at night! |
| 00:04:00 |
We rejoice for our King! |
| 00:04:03 |
This warrior sent from heaven |
| 00:04:05 |
has exterminated the assassins. |
| 00:04:26 |
Summon the warrior! |
| 00:05:11 |
Remain 100 paces from his Majesty. |
| 00:05:14 |
Or you will be executed. |
| 00:05:50 |
No one is allowed |
| 00:05:54 |
Do you know why? |
| 00:05:56 |
To guard against assassins. |
| 00:05:58 |
Yes. That's why I am confined |
| 00:06:02 |
You have removed a great peril for me. |
| 00:06:06 |
How should I reward you? |
| 00:06:08 |
My service was for Qin, not for a reward. |
| 00:06:11 |
Achievements must be rewarded. |
| 00:06:19 |
Sky's silver spear... |
| 00:06:23 |
wounded many of my brave warriors. |
| 00:06:29 |
Announce my edict! |
| 00:06:30 |
By order of his Majesty, |
| 00:06:31 |
he who kills Sky |
| 00:06:36 |
and be allowed to drink |
| 00:06:37 |
within 20 paces of his Majesty. |
| 00:06:59 |
I am informed you're a citizen of Qin. |
| 00:07:03 |
I am a Prefect from Leng Meng County. |
| 00:07:06 |
A County Prefect over 10 square miles! |
| 00:07:09 |
Surely the lowest-ranking official in Qin |
| 00:07:13 |
how did you defeat such opponents? |
| 00:07:17 |
I took them on one by one. |
| 00:07:19 |
Tell me the details. |
| 00:07:21 |
Does Your Majesty know |
| 00:07:22 |
Flying Snow and Broken Sword were lovers? |
| 00:07:25 |
Yes, I do. |
| 00:07:26 |
And that they hadn't spoken |
| 00:07:30 |
For three years? Why? |
| 00:07:32 |
Flying Snow had an affair with Sky. |
| 00:07:36 |
Broken Sword never forgave her. |
| 00:07:38 |
Why haven't I heard this before? |
| 00:07:41 |
I went to great lengths to uncover it. |
| 00:07:46 |
To divide Flying Snow and Broken Sword |
| 00:07:48 |
I first needed to eliminate Sky. |
| 00:07:51 |
I have an idea of what you planned. |
| 00:07:54 |
Your Majesty is wise. |
| 00:07:56 |
What did you use to defeat Sky? |
| 00:08:00 |
The sword. |
| 00:08:02 |
I must arrest criminals in my county. |
| 00:08:06 |
On the fifth day of the sixth month. |
| 00:08:08 |
Sky attended a chess house. |
| 00:08:10 |
I had learnt he enjoyed playing chess |
| 00:08:12 |
and listening to music there. |
| 00:08:35 |
So, the seven masters of Qin Palace. |
| 00:08:37 |
We are here to arrest you! |
| 00:08:40 |
Identify yourself by showing your spear. |
| 00:10:35 |
Halt! |
| 00:10:46 |
What can a minor official do? |
| 00:10:49 |
This is my territory. |
| 00:10:51 |
So? |
| 00:10:52 |
You are on the King's most wanted list. |
| 00:10:54 |
I am placing you under arrest. |
| 00:12:32 |
Old man, please play one more tune. |
| 00:13:01 |
Martial arts and music are different |
| 00:13:03 |
but they share the same principle. |
| 00:13:05 |
Both stress attaining a supreme state |
| 00:13:10 |
Sky and I faced each other |
| 00:13:14 |
Neither of us moved. |
| 00:13:16 |
We fought the battle in our minds. |
| 00:16:10 |
How swift thy sword! |
| 00:16:14 |
I thought I knew everything |
| 00:16:19 |
I didn't know that Leng Meng County |
| 00:16:21 |
held a talent like yours. |
| 00:16:29 |
Broken Sword |
| 00:16:33 |
Flying Snow |
| 00:16:35 |
By order of his Majesty! |
| 00:16:36 |
Flying Snow and Broken Sword |
| 00:16:39 |
have teamed up for assassination |
| 00:16:40 |
he who kills either of them |
| 00:16:43 |
will receive gold and land |
| 00:16:46 |
and be allowed to drink |
| 00:16:47 |
within 10 paces of his Majesty. |
| 00:17:09 |
Three years ago, Flying Snow |
| 00:17:10 |
stormed the palace with Broken Sword. |
| 00:17:12 |
3000 elite troops couldn't stop them. |
| 00:17:18 |
I've since emptied the palace |
| 00:17:22 |
so assassins cannot hide. |
| 00:17:25 |
Was your sword swifter |
| 00:17:28 |
No. |
| 00:17:32 |
How did you do it, then? |
| 00:17:46 |
Disguised as a citizen of Zhao. |
| 00:17:47 |
I sought them in the Kingdom of Zhao. |
| 00:17:50 |
I learned they were hiding. |
| 00:17:52 |
In a calligraphy school |
| 00:17:55 |
Under the names Highcliff and Springbrook. |
| 00:17:58 |
Rumor had it |
| 00:17:59 |
the Qin army would attack that day. |
| 00:18:01 |
Most of the townspeople had fled |
| 00:18:04 |
Only the school's students remained |
| 00:18:07 |
Why have you come at such a time? |
| 00:18:10 |
Who are you? |
| 00:18:13 |
I'm from Yi County |
| 00:18:15 |
My father's dying wish |
| 00:18:17 |
was for one of your scrolls |
| 00:18:19 |
I fear this may be our school's last day |
| 00:18:24 |
Which calligrapher do you seek? |
| 00:18:27 |
I respectfully request Master highcliff |
| 00:18:29 |
highcliff was Broken Sword |
| 00:18:32 |
Legend said his skill as a swordsman |
| 00:18:33 |
was rooted in his calligraphy |
| 00:18:36 |
So I had my concerns |
| 00:18:38 |
I needed to find out if it was true |
| 00:18:43 |
What do you want written? |
| 00:18:45 |
"Sword." |
| 00:18:49 |
You are fond of the sword? |
| 00:18:53 |
It was my father's dying wish |
| 00:19:06 |
What size scroll? |
| 00:19:08 |
Eight feet |
| 00:19:11 |
For that size I will need red ink |
| 00:19:15 |
My master has asked me |
| 00:19:17 |
to borrow some red ink |
| 00:19:23 |
My master wants to borrow some red ink |
| 00:19:33 |
Did you hear me, Master Springbrook? |
| 00:19:35 |
Master highcliff wants to borrow red ink |
| 00:19:41 |
Tell him to come himself |
| 00:19:57 |
Could I have some red ink? |
| 00:20:47 |
The character "sword" |
| 00:20:50 |
when Your Majesty's troops |
| 00:20:52 |
arrived at the city gates |
| 00:22:16 |
Draw! |
| 00:22:20 |
Your Majesty's army is invincible |
| 00:22:22 |
not only because it is brave |
| 00:22:24 |
but also because of its archery |
| 00:22:27 |
with a greater range than any other army |
| 00:22:31 |
The Qin archers are like artillery |
| 00:22:34 |
intimidating the enemy |
| 00:22:49 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:23:36 |
Please remember |
| 00:23:38 |
their arrows might destroy our town |
| 00:23:41 |
and topple our Kingdom |
| 00:23:45 |
but they can never |
| 00:23:49 |
Today |
| 00:23:50 |
you will learn the essence of our culture |
| 00:24:22 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:24:45 |
Those Zhao people didn't flee? |
| 00:24:48 |
They drew strength from their calligraphy |
| 00:24:50 |
What was so difficult about "sword"? |
| 00:24:53 |
There are 19 different ways to write it |
| 00:24:56 |
I asked Broken Sword |
| 00:24:57 |
for a 20th way |
| 00:25:00 |
Both calligraphy and swordplay |
| 00:25:02 |
rely on one's strength and spirit |
| 00:25:04 |
The 20th style would reveal |
| 00:25:05 |
the essence of his swordsmanship |
| 00:25:09 |
How odd to write it in 19 ways |
| 00:25:12 |
It makes the written language |
| 00:25:14 |
impossible to comprehend |
| 00:25:17 |
Once I've conquered the six Kingdoms |
| 00:25:19 |
and all the northern tribes |
| 00:25:21 |
I will eradicate this problem |
| 00:25:24 |
by mandating one style of writing |
| 00:25:25 |
Wouldn't that be ideal? |
| 00:25:29 |
Your Majesty won't stop |
| 00:25:31 |
The six Kingdoms are nothing! |
| 00:25:33 |
I will lead my army to conquer vast lands |
| 00:25:36 |
and establish a great empire |
| 00:25:42 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:26:24 |
Master Springbrook |
| 00:26:26 |
Why are you going outside? |
| 00:26:27 |
To fend off the arrows |
| 00:26:29 |
You aren't needed. Stay inside |
| 00:26:32 |
The Qin archers are powerful |
| 00:26:35 |
You alone may not stop them |
| 00:27:09 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:29:06 |
You are good |
| 00:29:08 |
You are even better |
| 00:29:11 |
You didn't come here for calligraphy |
| 00:29:14 |
Who are you? |
| 00:29:15 |
I've travelled here to deliver an item |
| 00:29:21 |
Please meet me in the library at midnight |
| 00:29:31 |
Great calligraphy |
| 00:29:33 |
Great swordplay |
| 00:29:34 |
You didn't even see my swordplay |
| 00:29:37 |
I couldn't have written without it |
| 00:29:41 |
At midnight |
| 00:29:42 |
meet me in the library. |
| 00:29:46 |
Several hundred thousand Qin troops |
| 00:29:48 |
were readying for the next onslaught |
| 00:29:53 |
I studied the character all night |
| 00:29:55 |
trying to unlock the secret of his skills |
| 00:30:09 |
It would reveal his swordsmanship? |
| 00:30:12 |
But it's just an ordinary word |
| 00:30:17 |
Calligraphy and swordplay are similar |
| 00:30:20 |
One must comprehend their true essence |
| 00:30:24 |
Did you discover it? |
| 00:30:25 |
It eluded me |
| 00:30:27 |
So how did you challenge them? |
| 00:30:31 |
Although they hadn't spoken in three |
| 00:30:35 |
At midnight |
| 00:30:37 |
Broken Sword would peek into |
| 00:30:45 |
At 2 o'clock in the morning |
| 00:30:46 |
she would spy on Broken Sword |
| 00:30:56 |
What strange behaviour |
| 00:30:59 |
I was surprised too |
| 00:31:03 |
So I used Sky's silver |
| 00:31:16 |
Sky died by your sword? |
| 00:31:18 |
Yes |
| 00:31:22 |
Who are you? Why are you here? |
| 00:31:26 |
I'm from the Kingdom of Qin |
| 00:31:27 |
I have a message from Sky |
| 00:31:29 |
Go on |
| 00:31:31 |
he said he had lived a life |
| 00:31:32 |
without responsibilities or commitments |
| 00:31:35 |
he cared for only one person |
| 00:31:38 |
Who? |
| 00:31:39 |
Flying Snow |
| 00:31:52 |
Sky was certain she'd avenge his death |
| 00:32:05 |
To fight, meet me at the Qin camp |
| 00:34:31 |
You can leave now |
| 00:34:37 |
Go! |
| 00:35:14 |
I know you saw us! |
| 00:35:18 |
Let me tell you |
| 00:35:19 |
we've been together for three years |
| 00:35:26 |
I let you see us on purpose! |
| 00:35:31 |
I no longer care about you at all! |
| 00:37:19 |
We were both very foolish |
| 00:38:00 |
I just wanted you to care about me |
| 00:38:39 |
I'm not going to fight you |
| 00:38:42 |
Go away! |
| 00:38:48 |
I will kill you in honor of my master! |
| 00:40:21 |
You ask to die. I will help you. |
| 00:43:26 |
Why do you laugh? |
| 00:43:29 |
What you did last night was stupid |
| 00:44:16 |
My plan proved successful |
| 00:44:18 |
When Flying Snow was fighting me |
| 00:44:20 |
she was disturbed and disoriented |
| 00:44:24 |
I defeated her easily |
| 00:44:40 |
I never imagined supreme warriors |
| 00:44:42 |
Iike Broken Sword and Flying Snow |
| 00:44:44 |
allowing their emotions |
| 00:45:04 |
It sounds as if you did divide them |
| 00:45:07 |
Yes |
| 00:45:09 |
In that case, they must have been |
| 00:45:10 |
petty and narrow-minded |
| 00:45:13 |
True |
| 00:45:14 |
Your story sounds logical |
| 00:45:17 |
But |
| 00:45:18 |
you have underestimated one person. |
| 00:45:23 |
Who? |
| 00:45:25 |
Me |
| 00:45:27 |
Would you like my impression of them? |
| 00:45:31 |
Three years ago they stormed the palace |
| 00:45:34 |
I was impressed |
| 00:45:36 |
by their valor and dignity |
| 00:45:39 |
Their character could not be petty |
| 00:45:41 |
So Flying Snow's affair with Sky is a lie |
| 00:45:44 |
Their betrayal of one another is a lie |
| 00:45:46 |
The story you just told is a lie! |
| 00:45:52 |
Except for one thing |
| 00:45:57 |
Sky did know one of you |
| 00:46:00 |
Who? |
| 00:46:03 |
You |
| 00:46:05 |
I surmise you two were old friends |
| 00:46:09 |
And Sky's defeat has only one explanation |
| 00:46:13 |
What's that? |
| 00:46:15 |
He permitted it |
| 00:46:23 |
To kill me, the two of you formed a pact |
| 00:46:26 |
using my men as witnesses |
| 00:46:29 |
That was not hard to arrange |
| 00:46:32 |
The hardest part was to persuade Sky |
| 00:46:34 |
to put his life in your hands |
| 00:46:36 |
You were not fast enough to defeat Sky |
| 00:46:40 |
he died willingly under your sword |
| 00:46:43 |
Such devotion deserves true respect |
| 00:46:45 |
He was the first to sacrifice himself |
| 00:46:47 |
for your mission. |
| 00:46:51 |
Sky was proud |
| 00:46:54 |
he saw himself as an unrivalled fighter |
| 00:46:56 |
What convinced him you could succeed |
| 00:46:59 |
where he had failed? |
| 00:47:02 |
You have trained, perhaps for 10 years |
| 00:47:06 |
with one goal, my assassination |
| 00:47:08 |
You have a great skill |
| 00:47:21 |
Killing Sky got you within 20 paces of me |
| 00:47:25 |
So why seek out |
| 00:47:28 |
I surmise that your skill |
| 00:47:31 |
requires you to come within 10 paces |
| 00:47:34 |
You needed a second sacrifice |
| 00:47:37 |
to claim another reward |
| 00:47:39 |
to bring you within 10 paces |
| 00:47:43 |
Although Broken Sword and Flying Snow |
| 00:47:45 |
had never met Sky |
| 00:47:47 |
they instantly understood |
| 00:47:49 |
the reason for his defeat. |
| 00:48:04 |
How far am I from the bookshelves? |
| 00:48:08 |
About 10 paces |
| 00:48:10 |
10 paces is fine |
| 00:48:56 |
I need one of you to help me |
| 00:48:58 |
Please decide between yourselves |
| 00:49:00 |
Meet me at the Qin camp tomorrow morning |
| 00:49:15 |
How swift thy sword! |
| 00:49:18 |
True |
| 00:49:20 |
Sky was a superior warrior |
| 00:49:22 |
he willingly gave his life to this man |
| 00:49:26 |
he can kill the King |
| 00:49:32 |
We must proceed |
| 00:49:34 |
That means we will die |
| 00:49:40 |
Then we die together |
| 00:51:01 |
You were one step ahead of me |
| 00:51:23 |
Did I hurt you too much? |
| 00:51:27 |
I should be the one who fights him |
| 00:51:30 |
I want you to live |
| 00:51:33 |
If you died, how could I live? |
| 00:51:38 |
You will live on, promise me |
| 00:51:50 |
Say it! |
| 00:52:03 |
All right |
| 00:52:14 |
Moon is on her way |
| 00:52:20 |
I had better go |
| 00:54:02 |
I am Nameless, |
| 00:54:05 |
Please allow me to fight this assassin |
| 00:54:09 |
She is on his Majesty's most wanted list |
| 00:54:10 |
Now she's here, I will arrest her |
| 00:54:14 |
The assassin and I have an agreement |
| 00:54:16 |
to fight one on one |
| 00:54:18 |
Should I be unable to defeat her |
| 00:54:19 |
please apprehend her |
| 00:54:22 |
Your permission is sought |
| 00:55:15 |
Draw your sword! |
| 00:55:48 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:55:52 |
Make your move! |
| 00:55:55 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:56:00 |
I die willingly |
| 00:56:01 |
Make your move |
| 00:56:07 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:56:12 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:56:17 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:56:24 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 00:57:15 |
How swift thy sword! |
| 00:58:34 |
What are you here for? |
| 00:58:38 |
For what you once said. |
| 00:58:41 |
"l will fight the one |
| 00:58:46 |
Please draw your sword |
| 00:59:00 |
Thank you |
| 00:59:02 |
I believe you and |
| 00:59:06 |
but rather it was |
| 00:59:10 |
A fight to honor Flying Snow. |
| 01:03:27 |
My master wishes you to have his sword |
| 01:03:33 |
Why? |
| 01:03:35 |
he and she are bound in life and death |
| 01:03:38 |
They will never part, |
| 01:03:52 |
It is his dying wish |
| 01:03:54 |
that you take his sword for your mission |
| 01:04:32 |
Sky, Flying Snow and Broken Sword |
| 01:04:34 |
sacrificed themselves |
| 01:04:37 |
so you can be within 10 paces of me |
| 01:04:39 |
All three gave you their lives |
| 01:04:42 |
The best of friends could not give more |
| 01:04:46 |
Therefore you are |
| 01:04:47 |
the most dangerous assassin of all |
| 01:05:02 |
How did you uncover my plan? |
| 01:05:04 |
The flames of these candles |
| 01:05:07 |
are disturbed by your murderous intent |
| 01:05:15 |
All of you |
| 01:05:19 |
are willing to die for a cause |
| 01:05:21 |
I'm ashamed to say |
| 01:05:24 |
Your Majesty has seen through our plan |
| 01:05:29 |
If I had realised this sooner |
| 01:05:32 |
I wouldn't have allowed you so close |
| 01:05:38 |
A citizen of Qin would not do this |
| 01:05:40 |
Who are you? |
| 01:05:41 |
A man of Zhao |
| 01:05:44 |
Your Qin soldiers killed my family |
| 01:05:47 |
I wandered into Qin |
| 01:05:48 |
and was adopted |
| 01:05:50 |
I discovered my real identity |
| 01:05:52 |
and set my heart on this plan |
| 01:05:54 |
You've come to avenge Zhao |
| 01:05:59 |
I see |
| 01:06:02 |
I would like to know |
| 01:06:04 |
if your special skill has a name |
| 01:06:06 |
As Your Majesty guessed |
| 01:06:08 |
there is only one crucial move |
| 01:06:10 |
What is that? |
| 01:06:11 |
"Death within 10 Paces." |
| 01:06:13 |
"Death within 10 Paces." A good name! |
| 01:06:17 |
All my guards are 100 paces away |
| 01:06:18 |
outside the palace |
| 01:06:20 |
You are within 10 paces |
| 01:06:24 |
It would seem |
| 01:06:25 |
that today I am doomed |
| 01:06:36 |
But I sense your hesitation |
| 01:06:40 |
Your Majesty is perceptive |
| 01:06:42 |
However |
| 01:06:44 |
You too have underestimated someone. |
| 01:06:48 |
Who? |
| 01:06:48 |
Broken Sword |
| 01:06:57 |
I needed to prove to them |
| 01:06:59 |
that my sword was fast and accurate |
| 01:07:49 |
Within 10 paces |
| 01:07:50 |
my sword strikes with surgical precision |
| 01:07:52 |
If it enters at precise pressure points |
| 01:07:55 |
it will not cause any fatal injury |
| 01:07:58 |
If one of you would take a blow |
| 01:08:00 |
before witnesses, we can fool the King |
| 01:08:06 |
Such a blow is hardly child's play |
| 01:08:10 |
How is Sky now? |
| 01:08:12 |
Fully recovered |
| 01:08:13 |
his trust in your sword |
| 01:08:16 |
The King's security is impenetrable |
| 01:08:19 |
There was no other way |
| 01:08:20 |
his lmperial Guards were useless |
| 01:08:24 |
he should have died three years ago. |
| 01:08:27 |
What went wrong? |
| 01:08:31 |
I abandoned the plan |
| 01:08:38 |
The King must not be killed |
| 01:08:40 |
he said that? |
| 01:08:41 |
Yes |
| 01:08:42 |
Why? |
| 01:08:43 |
I also asked him |
| 01:08:45 |
What did he say? |
| 01:08:46 |
he would not explain that day |
| 01:08:50 |
Broken Sword is the strongest |
| 01:08:53 |
he and I are probably equal in skills |
| 01:08:57 |
What he told me later |
| 01:09:03 |
greatly unsettled me |
| 01:09:06 |
While I'm alive |
| 01:09:08 |
I'll stop you assassinating the King |
| 01:09:12 |
I will help you |
| 01:09:16 |
he let the opportunity go by |
| 01:09:19 |
This time, we must succeed |
| 01:09:23 |
See you tomorrow at the Qin camp |
| 01:09:31 |
Please do me a favor |
| 01:09:34 |
Help me fight Broken Sword! |
| 01:09:47 |
Master! |
| 01:09:55 |
What are you waiting for? |
| 01:09:58 |
Although I had agreed to help her |
| 01:10:01 |
attack from behind is dishonorable |
| 01:10:03 |
so I couldn't draw my sword |
| 01:10:06 |
But we both knew |
| 01:10:08 |
if we did not stop Broken Sword |
| 01:10:10 |
we would never succeed. |
| 01:12:04 |
Moon, don't! |
| 01:12:06 |
You're no match for him. Stop |
| 01:12:34 |
I knew this would happen |
| 01:12:37 |
You can't stop me now |
| 01:12:39 |
Even wounded, I will still stop you |
| 01:12:44 |
Then I will kill you! |
| 01:12:53 |
Did I hurt him too much? |
| 01:12:55 |
Your special medicine |
| 01:12:57 |
should heal his wounds in a day |
| 01:13:01 |
have you delivered it? |
| 01:13:03 |
I tended to the wound myself |
| 01:13:06 |
After the battle, take my sword |
| 01:13:09 |
and follow Nameless to see the King |
| 01:13:11 |
Yes |
| 01:13:12 |
They won't treat a servant harshly |
| 01:13:15 |
If the assassination succeeds |
| 01:13:18 |
wave a red flag on your return |
| 01:13:20 |
If it fails, a yellow one |
| 01:13:22 |
If something happens to you |
| 01:13:25 |
any message will be useless |
| 01:13:30 |
I will smile from heaven |
| 01:13:32 |
if I see a red flag. |
| 01:14:38 |
How is Flying Snow? |
| 01:14:40 |
She is resting |
| 01:14:46 |
She doesn't know I've come |
| 01:14:47 |
You said you'd stop me |
| 01:14:51 |
Please abandon the mission |
| 01:14:53 |
You know I am a man of Zhao |
| 01:14:54 |
So am l |
| 01:14:56 |
Doesn't Qin want to conquer Zhao? |
| 01:14:58 |
Yes |
| 01:14:59 |
Isn't the King the enemy of Zhao? |
| 01:15:01 |
Yes |
| 01:15:03 |
Who are you trying to defend? |
| 01:15:05 |
You call yourself a man of Zhao? |
| 01:15:10 |
Flying Snow has asked me that too |
| 01:15:17 |
When we first met |
| 01:15:21 |
I was living a carefree life |
| 01:15:28 |
I fell in love with her after our first fight |
| 01:15:31 |
She's the daughter of a Zhao general |
| 01:15:34 |
who died in battle against Qin |
| 01:15:37 |
She inherited his sword |
| 01:15:39 |
I knew she would avenge her father |
| 01:15:41 |
I promised to help her |
| 01:15:46 |
Calligraphy and swordplay |
| 01:15:49 |
share the same principles |
| 01:15:51 |
We did calligraphy to |
| 01:15:54 |
and to heighten our powers |
| 01:15:56 |
She knew I'd drifted since childhood |
| 01:15:59 |
calling no place home |
| 01:16:03 |
Once we'd killed the King, she said |
| 01:16:04 |
she would take me to her home |
| 01:16:07 |
There'd be no more swordsmen |
| 01:16:11 |
only a man |
| 01:16:12 |
and a woman |
| 01:16:42 |
The essence of calligraphy |
| 01:16:44 |
Swordsmanship is the same |
| 01:16:46 |
Both aspire to truth and simplicity |
| 01:16:49 |
Gradually I recognised a greater cause |
| 01:16:59 |
Three years ago we perfected our skills |
| 01:17:01 |
Flying Snow insisted on going ahead |
| 01:17:03 |
Together, we stormed the palace |
| 01:21:44 |
She asked why I had abandoned the mission |
| 01:21:47 |
I told her the King must not be killed |
| 01:21:50 |
That is what calligraphy taught me |
| 01:21:54 |
I didn't kill the King |
| 01:21:56 |
After that she refused to talk to me |
| 01:22:04 |
Please abandon your plan |
| 01:22:06 |
No |
| 01:22:07 |
Was your sword forged in hatred? |
| 01:22:10 |
Yes |
| 01:22:12 |
For 10 years, it has never tired |
| 01:22:14 |
I can't stop now |
| 01:22:17 |
How can I dissuade you? |
| 01:22:19 |
Only by killing me |
| 01:22:21 |
Are you that determined? |
| 01:22:23 |
Yes |
| 01:22:26 |
Allow me to convey my conviction |
| 01:22:28 |
in three words |
| 01:23:14 |
These words express my mind |
| 01:23:16 |
Please consider |
| 01:23:27 |
Moon, give my sword to Master Nameless |
| 01:23:31 |
Flying Snow and I will never part |
| 01:23:33 |
nor will our swords |
| 01:23:49 |
Master Nameless |
| 01:23:51 |
although I am just a humble servant |
| 01:23:53 |
allow me to say a few words |
| 01:23:56 |
I've been with my master since |
| 01:23:59 |
he taught me martial arts |
| 01:24:01 |
and how to be a decent person |
| 01:24:04 |
Whatever my master does |
| 01:24:06 |
is for a good reason |
| 01:24:09 |
The words he has given you |
| 01:24:10 |
carry a deep meaning |
| 01:24:17 |
This will be the last thing |
| 01:24:22 |
Master Nameless, please take his advice |
| 01:24:39 |
Why did you want to do that? |
| 01:24:41 |
I wanted to follow the |
| 01:24:43 |
and to persuade you with my life |
| 01:24:46 |
You're still young |
| 01:24:48 |
If you must die |
| 01:24:56 |
Be on your way |
| 01:24:57 |
I will remember |
| 01:25:17 |
What were the words he wrote? |
| 01:25:21 |
"All under heaven." |
| 01:25:22 |
All under heaven... |
| 01:25:24 |
Broken Sword said |
| 01:25:26 |
"The people |
| 01:25:29 |
"Only the King of Qin can stop the chaos |
| 01:25:32 |
"by uniting all under heaven." |
| 01:25:36 |
He asked me to abandon the assassination |
| 01:25:39 |
for the greater good of all. |
| 01:25:41 |
He said, one person's suffering |
| 01:25:44 |
compared to the suffering of many |
| 01:25:49 |
The rivalry of Zhao and Qin is trivial |
| 01:25:51 |
compared to the greater cause |
| 01:25:59 |
The person who really understands me |
| 01:26:01 |
is my most feared enemy |
| 01:26:09 |
Alone, I have endured so much criticism |
| 01:26:11 |
So many attempts on my life |
| 01:26:15 |
No one understands my intentions |
| 01:26:18 |
Even my court officials |
| 01:26:20 |
see me as a tyrant |
| 01:26:26 |
But I never imagined |
| 01:26:30 |
that Broken Sword, my arch-enemy |
| 01:26:32 |
would truly understand |
| 01:26:36 |
and appreciate my real motives |
| 01:26:51 |
I would like to know |
| 01:26:53 |
how you mean to kill me |
| 01:26:57 |
By capturing yours! |
| 01:27:12 |
This sword has protected me |
| 01:27:14 |
through all my battles |
| 01:27:16 |
Having found a true confidant |
| 01:27:19 |
if I die, I am content with my life |
| 01:27:24 |
Let "All under heaven" |
| 01:27:27 |
guide your decision |
| 01:29:35 |
It's just dawned on me! |
| 01:29:37 |
This scroll of Broken Sword's |
| 01:29:38 |
isn't about sword technique |
| 01:29:40 |
but about swordsmanship's ultimate ideal |
| 01:29:43 |
Swordsmanship's first achievement |
| 01:29:47 |
is the unity of man and sword |
| 01:29:48 |
Once this unity is attained |
| 01:29:50 |
even a blade of grass can be a weapon |
| 01:29:53 |
The second achievement is when |
| 01:29:55 |
the sword exists in one's heart |
| 01:29:59 |
when absent from one's hand |
| 01:30:01 |
even with bare hands |
| 01:30:04 |
Swordsmanship's ultimate achievement |
| 01:30:07 |
is the absence of the sword |
| 01:30:11 |
The swordsman is at peace |
| 01:30:12 |
with the rest of the world |
| 01:30:15 |
he vows not to kill |
| 01:30:18 |
and to bring peace to mankind |
| 01:30:46 |
Your Majesty, |
| 01:30:53 |
that you are committed to the highest ideal |
| 01:30:56 |
of ultimate swordsmanship |
| 01:30:59 |
Therefore I cannot kill you |
| 01:31:04 |
Remember those who gave their lives |
| 01:31:08 |
for the highest ideal: peace. |
| 01:33:48 |
No more killing |
| 01:33:51 |
he could not have missed |
| 01:33:55 |
There is only one explanation |
| 01:33:57 |
he must have abandoned the mission |
| 01:34:00 |
What did you say to him? |
| 01:34:03 |
I wrote three words |
| 01:34:05 |
What words? |
| 01:34:07 |
"All under heaven." |
| 01:34:12 |
That is all you care about! |
| 01:34:13 |
And you |
| 01:34:16 |
I don't believe you |
| 01:34:18 |
How can I convince you? |
| 01:34:28 |
Draw your sword |
| 01:34:31 |
You've misled Nameless |
| 01:34:33 |
You've ruined Sky |
| 01:34:36 |
Draw! |
| 01:34:41 |
When we first met... |
| 01:34:45 |
I had to prove myself to convince you |
| 01:34:49 |
What can I do this time? |
| 01:34:51 |
Just draw your sword! |
| 01:36:20 |
Why didn't you fend off my sword? |
| 01:36:23 |
So that you'd believe me |
| 01:36:32 |
I always wanted to go home with you |
| 01:36:40 |
Sadly, it won't happen now |
| 01:36:47 |
Take good care of yourself |
| 01:37:02 |
Why didn't you defend yourself? |
| 01:37:13 |
Why didn't you defend yourself? |
| 01:37:26 |
Why didn't you? |
| 01:38:39 |
No more drifting, no more roaming |
| 01:38:48 |
I'm taking you home now |
| 01:38:53 |
Our home |
| 01:40:10 |
Your Majesty, permission to execute? |
| 01:40:11 |
Permission to execute? |
| 01:40:16 |
Your Majesty, permission to execute? |
| 01:40:17 |
Permission to execute? |
| 01:40:40 |
He conspired to assassinate Your Majesty |
| 01:40:44 |
Show no mercy! |
| 01:40:45 |
This is the law of Qin! |
| 01:40:52 |
To conquer all under heaven |
| 01:40:54 |
the law must be enforced |
| 01:40:56 |
Set an example for the world! |
| 01:41:00 |
Execute him! Execute him! |
| 01:41:03 |
Execute him! |
| 01:41:08 |
Execute him! Execute him! |
| 01:41:10 |
Execute him! |
| 01:41:22 |
Execute him! |
| 01:42:44 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 01:42:51 |
Hail! hail! hail! |
| 01:43:45 |
In 221 B.C., the King of Qin conquered |
| 01:43:49 |
He ceased all expeditions and |
| 01:43:53 |
The Qin Empire became |
| 01:43:56 |
And Qin Shihuang... the First Emperor. |
