Episode 2
Men, capture him!
Don't move, Don't move.
Move aside! Tie him up!
He... he... hey! What are you guys doing?!
Move!
This villain is attempting to stop the execution,
in attempt to rescue the rebels.
He must be the rebel's accomplice!
I don't even know him!
I knew you would say that.
According to the Qin Empire's laws,
he will be executed immediately! Execute now!
What immediate execution?
Am I dreaming?
Or...
I don't want to die!
Brother, what are you crying about?
We are men! If we die we die!
Are they acting?
Don't humiliate me!
What are you guys filming?
Is it Red Cliff?
Or Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
You seem like you are very good at acting.
Where did you graduate?
Bei Dian, Zhong Xi, or is it Shang Xi? (Referring to acting academies.)
You really are taking the acting very seriously.
But...
Safe journey... Brother!
Is this for real?!
They aren't really killing people, right?
What are you gibbering about?
It's your turn now!
M... Me...
What do you mean me?
Your clothes look pretty strange.
This is my first time chopping off the head of such a weakling.
I'm even afraid that I won't be precise in the chopping
Wha... what...
What did you say?
Eh. He... He... Hey!
What are you going to do?
Is that saber actually real?!
I'm not one of your actors!
Don't be so reckless!
I've seen a ghost!
Ah! A ghost?!
Hurry up and behead him!
Hurry up and behead him! Hurry!
Sir! Sir!
You've seen it! He's a demon!
What demon?
I don't care if he's a human or if he's a demon,
chop his head off first! Or I'll chop off your head!
Quickly!
Sir, he's more notorious. Lets chop his head off first.
Sorry.
I say teacher,
aren't you guys filming a movie?
Wh... Why are you guys actually fighting?
What are you talking about? I don't understand a thing you're saying.
Thank you savior for saving my life.
Hey, Teacher!
Teacher! Stop fighting!
If you keep fighting like this, the police will come!
What police? I don't understand what you are saying.
The person that died was my brother. I must get revenge for him.
Hey! I'm telling you!
All of you
are too into your roles.
You call this acting? This is armed combat!
Which crew are you guys from?
Quit flailing about in front of me!
Hey bro!
Why is there no signal?
Sorry! I didn't mean to.
Bro. You guys are...?
Uncle, you go first!
Let's go!
He... he... hey! Why are you guys actually fighting?
What are you guys doing?
Stopping the execution.
Then why are you bringing me along?
Because you saved my uncle.
Then who are you?
The good guy.
Shoot!
Be careful! They are shooting arrows!
Are they real arrows?!
Shoot!
Are you guys acting or fighting?!
Is there an end to this?
Hold it! Shoot!
Bro, this is really heavy!
It fell!
What happened? It fell!
I... It's real.
Water's here.
The injury is too serious.
It seems like we can't save him. We should give up.
Uncle, he saved you.
We have to try regardless.
Don't forget that we are still trying to escape.
Even if he doesn't die today,
he still won't be able to dodge the soldiers that are after us
or survive the hard times ahead
And look at this person...
his clothes, language, all seem suspicious.
He must not be a good person.
I think... we should let fate decide.
Uncle! You've always taught me to be a righteous person.
This person saved us
If he really is a bad person,
I will kill him for the sake of the people.
But today we have to repay him for his help.
Uncle, don't say anymore,
hurry up and save him!
Fine.
It was probably heaven's will that he arrived on the execution grounds.
But if we are going to treat his injury,
then you must suffer through some pain.
Hold on!
Uncle, treat him first.
It looks like I can't talk you out of anything.
Fine.
Help me! Help me! Help me!!!
Brothers. Brothers.
Why aren't you calling an ambulance for me?
Dear friend, don't panic.
We will treat you now
Quick... quickly. Help me call an ambulance.
What? Ambulance?
What is an ambulance?
I've only heard of a cow cart, horse cart, and a chariot...
What is an ambulance?
I'm telling you two,
stop acting.
I can't hold it in anymore...
I'm begging you guys,
take me to a large hospital for an operation.
When I'm better...
I will repay you well.
Ah, uncle...
He's looking for a doctor.
My friend, our family has been in the war field for many generations.
My uncle's knowledge of medicine is incredible.
He's got years of experience in treating weapon and trauma wounds.
With him here, you won't have to worry.
You're an old military doctor?
I say savior,
your injury is really serious, we can't hesitate any longer.
I will begin.
Apologies for the pain.
Wa... wa... wa... wait!
How can an old military doctor not know anything about hygiene?
What hygiene?
That's how you sterilize?!
I know that the circumstances here aren't really good...
However, at least
you should put the knife in the fire until it is red to sterilize it
then put some alcohol on the wound to clean it.
That way bacteria will be killed, so that there will be no infections.
Why are you so fussy?!
Eh, uncle...
It doesn't sound unreasonable.
I think we should try it.
Okay, I'll try it.
It is going to be alright.
What's wrong now?
Do you guys have anesthetics?
What's an anesthetic?
It's...
It's medicine that lets people not feel anything...
So that they can't feel pain.
We are men! We aren't even afraid of death!
Look at you! What's a little pain?
Eh, uncle...
What our friend says is not unreasonable.
I can do it right away.
Ah...
The younger fellow is speaking reason.
My friend, is this anesthetic okay?
Now my eardrums will get some quiet.
Your anesthetic is pretty useful.
I will have to use it more often in the future.
Come...
We already tried our best.
Whether he lives or dies will depend on his luck.
Uncle,
I have a feeling...
He's not an ordinary fellow.
His body surely has some special features.
Let's hope so.
But then. Look,
I'm always worried.
His origins are unknown.
Look at his clothes,
so strange and bizarre, unlike mine.
We can't be certain...
he isn't a spy sent by the Hu people.
He doesn't look like it.
They wouldn't send someone like him.
If he really is a spy sent by the Hu,
they would be very careful,
It wouldn't be like him, strange-looking and eye-catching.
But...
we should still be wary of him.
You and I should still be careful anyway.
Why doesn't it hurt?
Did you save me again?
Thanks!
Why is there always no signal?
What kind of strange place is this?
My God!
Incredible, Incredible!
My friend, you had a serious injury,
yet you are up and about already.
I knew you were not an ordinary fellow.
There is something strange about you.
I don't know either.
Suddenly I'm better. Didn't I get pierced in the heart by that arrow?
That's right.
Even my uncle wasn't sure he could save you.
I still haven't properly thanked you guys for saving me.
Hey.
I should be thanking you.
If you didn't take action when you did,
I would have never seen my uncle again.
To me,
I owe you a great deal.
Eh. What are you doing?
Can you not be like that?
That's right!
I didn't think
that your acting was all real.
What would you do if someone died?
Oh, and
yesterday, at the execution grounds,
when that guy's head hit the ground... pah!
My god...
It looked as if it was the real thing!
That... That fake person looked too real!
I...
I also learned a few things.
Do you think you can refer me
for a role or something?
Have a look and see.
Are you alright?
It's nothing.
Your speech is funny.
May I ask what your profession and name is?
I'm called Xiao Chuan.
I don't actually have a real profession. I just take photos.
Eh, you're very handsome.
How about this? I'll help you create a historical photo album set?
I bet it will sell out.
I will give you a good deal, 20% off.
Ah...
Thank you for the offer.
But what you were saying, photography, photo album?
I really don't understand.
The acting has made you an idiot.
That's right.
Yesterday... I...
How did I suddenly get here?
I found it weird too.
Brother,
did you come from the north?
I am from Beijing.
Then you are Hu Ren (minority ethnic group)?
Don't even talk about Hu Ren (NBA Lakers).
Once you say Hu Ren (NBA Lakers), I get angry.
Did you see the NBA last year?
Because of Hu Ren (NBA Lakers), the Rockets (NBA Team) got kicked out.
The team didn't even enter the final of the western conference.
Brother, what you are saying is so mystical.
But since you are not Hu Ren (minority ethnic group)then I'm relieved.
I can finally understand
that actors, like you guys,
must be very tired.
Look,
usually...
this, you can't cut your hair.
You always wear your costume.
Even your speech is so scholarly.
You're too into your role.
Based on your dedication,
you will definitely be popular.
What is your name?
Okay.
I am a mercenary warrior.
Last name Xiang, first name Yu.
People address me as Xiang Yu (prominent military leader and political figure in history of China).
You're quite funny.
I'm asking for your real name.
Brother Yi, please do not joke around.
Men should never change their name.
I am Chu's general, Xiang Yan's decendant. Xiang Liang is my uncle.
I think,
I believe no one would dare to take my identity.
Eh...
Are you filming right now?
Master!
What's wrong?
They are here! Speak clearly!
Everyone get on your horses!
Go!
- Go! - Let's go!
Let's see where you're going to run now!
Xiang Yu! You can't escape!
Awesome, awesome!
Hey, I say brothers,
are you all under Jackie Chan?
Go!
Kill them!
Yu'Er, hurry and leave!
As long as the green mountains exist, you can take revenge for me in future!
If uncle dies, I do not want to live either!
Young brother, you should go quickly!
What are you guys doing?!
This has nothing to do with you. Leave!
I won't abandon my uncle and leave.
That Brother, that Yi Mou (referirng to self) can have a friend like you is enough.
Go quickly!
Here they come!
Don't come over here!
Help me!
Don't come anymore!
Mud. What a great idea!
Come. Come and sting me!
Everyone stop!
XiangYu, if you don't drop your weapon and surrender,
I will kill him right in front of you!
Yu'Er don't listen to him!
He will do anything to achieve his goal. Even if you surrender, you won't be spared.
Hurry up and leave.
Want to die? Not that easily.
Xiang Liang, you're right.
You can't escape death.
But, Xiang Yu,
if you surrender quietly,
I can think about letting you die quickly.
But if you refuse or try to resist,
I will torture your uncle slowly by cutting him.
Even if he wishes for death, he won't die.
Stop!
Pity, what a pity!
Master, don't be angry. I don't regret this!
I'd rather die with uncle.
I've told you! Don't let humane feelings and righteousness get in the way!
You have to learn to be flexible!
Whatever we say now is pointless. It's the end!
Is this fate?
So what if you saved him from the execution,
in the end you two are still at the mercy of my hands.
You said, you will kill us quickly.
I said it. I will do it.
Do you two have any last words to say?
Save it until you get to hell.
Guards, execute them!
Come on then!
Stop!
Stop! Stop quickly!
I still haven't agreed!
Brother! Why have you come back?
Why didn't you leave?!
Where am I going to run to?
Plus we are friends to the grave.
I won't leave you here alone!
Good! I'll see how you can interfere!
Learn to know your limit!
Get him!
Fine! I will let you see!
My heavenly warriors and soldiers!
Now you know what I can do!
I'm here! I'm here to save you guys!
These bees are very dangerous!
If you get stung, you will die!
Put it on your face quickly!
Do it yourself!
No wonder you are muddy all over!
I will put it on for you!
How do you know about this stuff?
When it comes to fighting, I'm not an expert like you guys.
But when it comes to escaping, no one is better than me.
Hey, Brother Yi! This is very useful!
Xiang Yu, today we have to fight
until one of us falls!
I accept your challenge.
Yu'Er, come back for him later.
Uncle, I've already accepted his challenge, so there is no reason to back out.
Let me finish him first.
He's just trying to delay you, don't fall for it.
I don't care what his plan is,
once the words are spoken there is no turning back.
You taught me this.
Hurry up and go!
This is the best method.
Hurry and leave!
Go quickly!
Did I really travel back to the Qin dynasty?
Could it be because of the box and this tiger jade?
Or is it...
that they are the ones to bring me here?
What is going on?
What is this place?
This can't really be the Qin Dynasty?
Pick up the sword.
I want to challenge you.
Why?
I've never lost a duel,
neither have I run from one before.
But you have cost me such an embarassment.
If this gets out, how can I appear in front of others?
So today I must challenge you. Quickly pick up the sword!
I do not want to.
Why?
Because I can't win you.
I don't accept your challenge.
Then I won't die.
I will definitely kill you!
I admit defeat.
I don't have a weapon now.
Even if you won,
if this gets out, you still wouldn't have face.
Pick up the sword!
So Xiang Yu, this is easy to deal with,
I'll give him a little push.
If killing me can help you calm your anger,
then do it.
Because you are my only friend here,
to be able to die at the hands of a friend, I have no regrets.
Come on then.
Good.
I'll slowly watch.
That Li Mu Bai from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,
also can't match this.
Yu'Er,
your strength is like none other in this world
but you can't win against my bamboo stick.
Do you know why?
It doesn't matter.
I didn't know my kung fu skills were that far off from uncle's.
That is not it.
That is the logic of using yin to suppress yang.
Yu'Er-ah,
in the future, when you command thousands of soldiers,
you need to count on strategies, not strength.
To win a war you must rely on planning and strategies,
not head-butting.
Xiang Liang really understands Xiang Yu.
During the Chu Han contention,
Xiang Yu didn't have strategies.
In the end, he lost to Liu Bang (first emperor Han Dynasty).
Xiao Chuan, come over here.
You said that Yu'Er is your best friend?
Yes.
He is my only friend here, and the best.
Xiao Chuan-ah,
to us
you are the savior of our lives.
Eh... no, no, no.
We also saved your life.
This is heaven's gift of fate to us.
We are now a family.
Thank you very much, Bo Fu (Uncle).
As an elder, I have to tell you,
In this chaotic time, you cannot have sympathy.
Otherwise you'll harm yourselves.
But Bo Fu,
what right do we have
to decide other peoples' right to live?
I won't murder people.
In our place, there are other ways to solve this problem.
It looks like you grew up in a stable and peaceful place.
But for us here, it won't work.
If you don't kill, then you will be killed.
Bo Fu (Uncle),
just now I saw
your bamboo stick kung fu. It's very powerful.
Can you teach me?
If I learn, then he can't bully me anymore.
If you do want to learn,
I can teach you.
But you have to be my disciple.
Master...
are you not accepting pupils anymore?
Didn't you say Xiao Chuan is different from others?
He saved you. It's like him saving our hope.
Today, I want to give him a big gift.
Do you agree?
Yes. I am willing! Of course I am willing!
Pupil Yi Xiao Chuan bows to master.
Okay. Okay.
Get up.
Since I'm your master now,
then from now on, you two must help each other out.
I understand.
Yi Brother, when I have successfully learn the bamboo stick kung fu,
we'll fight again.
Even if Master wants to teach you,
you can't beat me.
We'll see.
Xiao Chuan. What are you thinking about?
My first time, being so far from my family.
I suddenly really miss them.
I used to be a bad kid,
never knew how good my family was to me.
Of all things, filial piety comes first.
You have a filial heart.
If your parents knew,
they would be very happy.
But they don't know.
We are also your family,
don't be so sad faced.
I'm going to wash.
Hey, the wind goes up that way.
Go to that side.
Further.
Sorry.
How did I get here to the Qin Dynasty?
What is this strange place?
Treasure... can you give me some clues?
What mountain?
What are these two characters?
Stop, stop, stop!
Xiao Chuan! Xiao Chuan!
Old Brother! Old Brother!
- Xiao Chuan! - Old Brother!
Old Brother!
Look! Xiao Chuan's clothes are here!
Knowing him,
he would never leave this car.
Could something have happened?
