The Queen Mother has declared
Ying Zheng is no longer the King of Qin
Whoever captures him will be rewarded
Charge
Retreat
Retreat, retreat to the west
Marquis, do you surrender?
Do you surrender?
No
Charge
I surrender
Only if you promise not to kill my men
I have failed all of you
Obey their orders, do not resist.
The King will spare you.
Lay down your weapons
Stand up
Ying Zheng, you murderer...
Mother, had those children over
They are my sons
I'll never give them up
So be it
I'm not mistaken, am I?
Mommy! Mommy
Ying Zheng
Who did you have in mind to replace me
The older one or the younger?
Ying Zheng, listen to me
Mommy! Mommy
I'm begging you! I'm begging you
They are your brothers
God damn you
I hate you! You've murdered my sons.
You animal
I'm so sorry. But our children are dead
So they're gone then there's nothing to worry about
I've failed you
No, it is I who failed you
And failed our son's
All our efforts have come to nothing
People will say it's my lust for power
That brings me to my death
But, what I wanted most was to share
My life with you
That could have been
If you were not the Queen Mother
As it is
We will have to wait until our next life
Don't cry, we have done nothing wrong
Farewell
Are you guilty?
I'm innocent
You committed adultery and fathered illegitimate children
You plotted against Qin with foreign kingdoms, you deserve no mercy
It's true, I had children with your mother
You claim to be a filial son
But how could you know the loneliness of the Queen Mother
I plotted with foreign kingdoms
Were you not raised on the milk of the Kingdoms of Zhao
Treason, am I the traitor
No, it's you who are the traitor
When the Qin Prince
Was a hostage in Zhao
Lu Buwei gave him a woman
But the woman was already pregnant by Lu Buwei
She gave birth to a boy
Later the Qin Prince became King
When the King died
The little boy inherited the Qin throne
Do you have to ask me who
Your father is
What a pity, you have been the King of Qin for such a long time
But you don't even know who your real parents are
What a joke
The king of Qin, is not even a
Descendant of Qin
You are the son of Lu Buwei from Zhao
Who's the traitor here
Nonsense, you are crazy
Ying Zheng, you're a bastard from Zhao
Go and ask your father
You may take your leave
Master of Rites
Present
Who is my father
Your majesty's father was the king of Qin
Your majesty has no other father
I see, thank you
Lu Buwei, are you guilty
Of course, I am guilty
If the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, is my son
Then he could not be the King of Qin
That's why I am guilty, Right
The King of Qin is not your son
His father was King of Qin
If that is the true
And the King is not my son
Then why do you want to kill me
Right here in the Qin ancestral Temple
Prime Minister
Stop, say no more
Just go ahead and kill me
Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has made great contribution to Qin
I beg you to show mercy on him
Prime Minister, just tell the world
That I'm not your son
Kill me
And the world will know, and the world will know that you're not my son
And only by killing me can you make
People believe
That you are not my son
Because a son would never kill his own father
No, no
I will not kill you
I just want you to tell the world
That I am not your son
And when unification is achieved
No matter what happen, don't you have a father
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Because I wanted you to be King
King of all under heaven
I cannot kill you, I want to see you grow old
I want you to help me unite all under heaven
I want you to finish your book Lu's Spring and Autumn
I want everyone under heaven to know
And remember your name
remember your name...
King Ying Zheng
Have you forgotten the commandment
Of your Qin ancestors to unite all under heaven
I have not forgotten, have I forgotten
From the moment I was born, I was a hostage
Who supported me
The people of Zhao, spat in the King's
Face and whipped me
Where were the Qin people at that time
Where were the Qin ancestor
I had no food, no clothes
What did the Qin people give me
This man, he raised me
And took care of King
He brought our family back to Qin
I was sitting on his knees
When he taught me my first word
The first word was King
He who taught me how to be a king
I cannot kill him, no one can kill him
Your majesty, then kill me
But even if I die
People will still ask the same question
I cannot kill him
I can't, please don't ask me
King Ying Zheng, have you really
Forgotten your commandment
Your majesty
Father
Issue the following degree, Lu is a traitor
He is stripped of all of his title, kill his entire family
What's going on whit Jing Ke
I can't wait any more
He must to go to Qin now
He is not the man he used to be
He'll never go
He listens to you
If you ask him to go, he will
But I won't do that
If Jing Ke won't go to Qin I'll have to imprison you
and wait for Ying Zheng to save you
All right then, imprison me
As you wish
Release her
You stay and she goes free
You should see our new house
Get him, come on
Go home, boy
Pick up your sword
If he won't kill you kill him
Go home
Kill him, kill
Your Majesty
General Fan fled last night
his whereabouts are unknown
Issue the following decree to the other to the other kingdoms
any state that harbors General Fan is the enemy of Qin
Whoever turns him in our ally
Kill his entire family
General Fan, I'd like you to meet Jing ke
Yes
You are from Qin
you know the King of Qin What kind of the man is he?
He truly is a king, but he has killed so many people
Is that the reason you left him
Yes
Long live the King...
General Wong
Present
I want revenge
Yes
Destroy Zhao
Zhao Ambassador
Your Highness, my lady, I beg you to save Zhao
What's the situation in the Zhao capital
The King of Qin is leading the attack
The Qin army has already reached the city wall
they've taken all the provisions
without food, the people are desperate
They eat meat off of dead bodies
They burn horse bones
The King of Zhao has ordered that we die before surrendering
I am afraid we can't hold very long and...
What?
The King of Zhao is holding all the city's children, boys and girls
captive in the ancestral temple
On the day Qin troops take the city
all of them will be led to the city wall and sacrificed
The Zhao King will destroy the future generations of Zhao
My Lady, in a few dozen years
there will be no more Zhao people we're finished
The world is finished
God damn Ying Zheng I said he was evil
General Fan
Present
The prince has promised to try to save Zhao
I am leaving now to see the King of Zhao
I will beg him to spare the children of Zhao
I also want to see the King of Qin
He's changed completely since you left
Our King will listen to me
Jing Ke, I'm going to Zhao
I knew you would
Is there nothing you wish to say to me
You don't want to bid me farewell
I won't send you off
because I don't want to lie to you
but I know you must to
because you are from Zhao
Zhao is your mother country
Do your best
My lady...
My lady
The Qin troop have surrounded the Zhao capital
The roads have been cut off
It's impossible for us to enter the city
Where is the Prince of Yan? Where is he?
Zhao is finished, we must retreat
Prince, it's getting dark
We could launch a surprise attack
I've conquered almost all of Zhao
we are preparing to attack the capital
Tomorrow that capital will be ours
What about the assassin from Yan
I am so naive, I thought because of you
there would be no more bloodshed
but what did I find when I arrived in Zhao
Dead bodies everywhere
Your army has done nothing but kill
The villages have been destroyed
the towns ruined
You did all of this
How are you different from other kings
But this is Zhao, Zhao is a different case
You promised me that you would protect all people under heaven
Look at my face. Do you remember now
Zhao is different,
the Zhao people bullied my father and insulted my mother
they made me herd horses
But your mother is from Zhao
So many Zhao people have helped you through hard times
Your own name used to be Zhao Zheng
Your majesty, you cannot be the ruler of all under heaven
as long as you have hate in your heart
the ruler of all under heaven should love all people under heaven
No matter which kingdom they are from
they are your subjects
The King of Zhao has given orders to kill all the children of Zhao
If you save them
you will win the love of the Zhao people
and the love of all people under the heaven
Can you promise me
I promise you, I promise you
Lady Zhao, I won't let you go
I'll never let you go again
I am from Zhao
I can't bear to watch Qin troops
destroy my homeland
My lady, this is a military campsite
but the Prince didn't take this route when he came
The prince must have retreated
Let's go back to capital
Children, the time has come
Children! Jump, jump
Jump
Jump...
Zhao will never surrender
General Wang
Present
Are these the last of the Zhao children
Yes
Let them go
Yes
Take this
General Wang
Present
When my father and I returned to Qin
The King of Zhao sent soldiers after us
He was afraid I would take revenge
Right now, I'm also afraid
I understand
Wake up, wake up
My lady, over here, more dead bodies
It was Qin soldiers
they buried these children alive
My lady, are you all right
Goddamn Ying Zheng...
You are sick, you've been sleeping for five days
So long
You died, but then came back to life
But I do not want to live
I want to go back to Zhao
I want to be with those children
I know
Your majesty
General Fan has been found in Yan
Order Yan to deliver the traitor's head
Your majesty
Shut up, the Queen Mother is dying
Mother...
You've finally come
I've just returned Zhao
I've killed all our enemies
we have been avenged
God damn you
I must tell you
the King of Qin and I created this whole plot
to sent an assassin to Qin
At that time, I was his lover
we grew up together, when we were young
my father was always drunk
often Ying Zheng would carry him home
It was a big burden for a small boy
He took good care of his mother too
Everybody liked him
He used to be such a good person now he's a ruthless killer
Ying Zheng knows everything
He will be prepared, if you go...
I won't let him kill anymore children
Never again
Do you think I can stand up to the King of Qin
Yes, but you still need one thing for your journey
without it, you won't get to see him
I've come here to borrow it from you
You don't need to borrow it I'm giving it to you
It's a gift for a worthy friend
Because you will never come back
You don't think I know that
You know that
Of course, I know
Do you know why the King of Qin wants my head
Because I alone know the secret that can destroy him
But I can't tell you what it is
If you see him, I want you to tell him that
I've not told a soul about his secret
and that his secret will die with me
I am going to get more wine
Jing Ke
do you know which direction my door faces
It faces Qin
Correct
You majesty, the prince of Yan has sent his map
This is the richest area of Yan
the land is so fertile
We succeeded
No
the King of Qin will react as you have
he will focus all of his attention on me
Therefore, my assistant should make the first move, not me
But I will not have a weapon
Try again
Your majesty, the prince of Yan has sent this map
This is the richest area of Yan
the land is so fertile
The wind is whistling over the cold Yi River
the brave hero leaves, he'll never return
His majesty
Come closer. Sit with me for a while
How old are you, I'm talking to you
Your majesty, I'm fifteen
Already an adult Old enough to do great things
I was younger than you when I was in Zhao
Those were the good old days
I never had enough to eat or enough to wear
But I was determined to become a king
My girlfriend told me that
one day I would surely be a king
Indeed, those were the best times
Your majesty, the envoy from Yan has arrived
Will you receive him tomorrow
Yes, who is the envoy
His name is Jing Ke
Our spies in Yan say
that he is a great swordsman
Let him come with his sword but be prepared
Yes
Yan envoys, please halt
The swords of the envoys need to be inspected
Yes
Your assistant cannot carry his sword
Please
Your sword will be returned
Long live the king...
It was a fly
Is this the map you will present to the King
Yes, the head of the traitor is in the box
The King summons the Yan envoy
The King grants your permission to carry your sword
Here is your sword, please
The King summons the envoy
Long live the king...
What's wrong with your assistant
We're from a small country
isolated and unsophisticated
I said he would be scared
You see he really is
Don't be afraid
We'll go home after we pay homage to the King
The King will only receive one envoy
Now you've done it...
Jing Ke
Your majesty
What's your name
Jing Ke
Jing Ke, raise your head
I dare not
Raise your head. What are you crying for
My assistant is scared
and I am scared too, I'd like to go home
Have you brought me General Fan's head
Yes
Come up here
Please forgive me, your majesty
I didn't want to carry a sword
but they forced me to
They sent me here to kill you
Destroy Yan...
Have you heard what he has said
The King of Yan intends to kill me
The map is it a fake as well
Fake?
The map is real
Your majesty, the prince of Yan has sent this map
This is the richest area of Yan
This can be yours
The land is so fertile
Stand back
My King...
No even a single one of you
tried to stop him
Get out of here. God damn you Get out of here
Why are you laughing...
Why did you want to kill me
Do you know what I want to do
I want to establish a great empire
Qin and the other six kingdom
will become one great empire
General Fan ask me to deliver a message to you
Your secret...
He has not told a soul, he's not like you he kept his promise
Don't die, I haven't won yet
You've come back to me
I've come back only to take Jing Ke's body
back to Yan
If you don't allow me, then you can kill me too
Take him back to Yan, give him a proper burial
My love
King of Qin
Have you forgotten the commandment of your ancestors to unify all under heaven
