JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 17
Esteemed monk, please stop
this is the palace of our king why are you here?
Junior, what is he doing...
I am a monk from Tang empire,
was on my way to the way to the west for Sutras
I came to seek approval to walk through your kingdom
here's a letter from your Prince,
please refer that to the king
Please wait here while I report to our King
go... go
my son mentioned that he's safe in another place
and wants me to stop thinking of him
what does he mean?
Should I forget about this son of mine?
I see him with my own eyes
the demon who housed him is beautiful
What demon?
Didn't the prince mention that he was captured by a demon?
He was cursed by the demon and cannot leave
that's why he dare not inform you
he is a brave person
if he didn't save me, I would be dead by now
since I know about his whereabout
i must save him
which one of you is brave enough to
follow me and save the Prince?
I will reward you handsomely
This...
Alas... there isn't any brave warrior in our Kingdom
King.
We are not cowards.
But we don't know the exact condition of the demon
what we learn can only be applied in our normal wars
that demon rides on clouds...
how could we fight demons and save the Prince?
This monk is an enlightened monk
he must have the ability to fight the demons
why don't we seek his help to guide our army?
That's the best strategy
if you could save my son, I will share my throne with you
Amitabha
I also hope that Prince can escape
but I can't subdue demons
since you can't subdue demons,
how did you come all the way here?
And aim to journey to the west for the Sutras
its true that i cannot do that alone
I have 2 disciples to protect me
are they the ones? Yes
he is Zhu Wuneng and he is Sha Wujing
your Majesty, they looked ugly
how could they handle the task?
Who... who's ugly?
Yes, my junior Sha is bit ugly but...
he's not getting married
why did you care about his looks?
Don't worry, Junior Sha
Second senior is here for you... right?
You are not as handsome as me... right?
I'm only a bit better looking
but... that's enough
all of you looks good but who can subdue a demon?
Monk Zhu and Sha
who is good at subduing demons?
Of course its me... Pigsy
in the past, I'm TianPeng Marshal
from the Great Tang to here,
I'm the best person to subdue a demon
your Majesty, its more important to save the prince
i shall go now
wait, Second senior
I'll go with you.
Why did you want to go?
Who will protect Master?
Wujing, go too
Yes.
Serve some wine to boast their fighting spirit
yes
monks cannot drink wine
Junior Sha, you are scared but I'm not
its just wine... not like we have killed
Master, take care. I'm going now
Master, I'm going too.
I did it.
I did it!
Did it!
Its easy for you to get a mirror
why are you polishing that stone?
After all that work... I can only see myself
did Master lie to me?
Which Master?
My first Master
he asked me the location of LingTai Mountain
where is the 3 star cave?
And who is he?
I answered that its here all the time
and Master is also in front of me
but he still want me to polish this stone mirror
saying that I could find the answer inside
isn't that Great King, yourself?
I thought Master hide something inside
Ape Tongbi
Do you think I've changed?
Its alright
Sun little monkey is always young
and I can live forever
Great King, you are still the same too
didn't you use a mirror these days?
Yes, I did
but not in such details
I think I looked a bit different now
I can't see any difference
in what way?
Strange.
Why did I look a bit fierce?
Don't you think so?
I felt that you are here physically but not mentally
you are different from your past
you are not the same Great Sage Equals to Heaven
nor the same stone monkey
The Great Sage Equal of Heaven?
What was I like in the past?
You were powerful and arrogant in the past
and lawless too
Don't cover your mouth.
I know that you are telling the truth
or else
I won't suffered for 500 years under 5 element mountain
what about the stone monkey?
He's a heaven's treasure
smart and cute, kind hearted
even if you bully him, he's always happy
that's why everyone likes him
i have forgotten my past
are you describing Sun little monkey?
No... not Sun Little monkey its you
until you seek deities overseas
you have grown up but your temperament is still the same
But... I've grown up.
And is almost like a human
before one finds enlightenment
I thought we need a human form?
But after I gained a human form
i become detestable
It's not true.
You don't look bad
Great King, you are very handsome
the most handsome monkey
but you are not happy now and unbalanced
you pent up your anger
You...
I can't explain it clearly.
Enough.
I understand now!
I have to find the old me.
But how do I do that?
You cannot revert to your past
just like the river flowing into the sea
you cannot return
let bygone be bygones
you can only move ahead
but when the water evaporated
it will still falls back on earth as rain right?
Yes, but the water flows from streams into river
before it gets to the sea
it will wander in the sea and needs the sun
before it can raise to sky
it will float in the sky before it can reach our mountain
it must gather enough rain
before it can return to our water curtain cave
Grandpa... grandpa
Kids, grandpa is unhappy these days
he cannot eat and sleep well
what should we do?
If you can make grandpa happy, I will reward you well
go... have fun... go
Great King, don't think so much
its more important to be happy now
Kids, quick... do it
Great King
Great King, you better go
go and follow your heart
don't force yourself
Prince, you are finally awake
I'm so worried that you will not open your eyes again
why didn't Heaven let me die?
I have released Tang monk
This time, I'm not lying
how could I believe you again?
I thought that
if you let Tang monk off
I will not ask to leave this place again
I will follow you like a shadow for the rest of my life
but... you lied to me
again and again
and hurt me deeply
I'm not lying this time
I'm not lying... please believe me again
you cannot ignore me
and don't avoid me
its alright for you to ignore me
just drink this medicinal porridge first... then
no matter what
you cannot destroy your body this way
actually
I'm not afraid of your face
neither am I afraid of demon
that day
when you promise to release Tang monk
I fell in love with you
but you let Tang monk off, it shows you never believed me
that's because I overheard your conversation with the demons
now, I will not request for my freedom
I will only request for my death
I don't want to see your scary heart and face
Madam, that 'Pig and Fish head' is here again
Demon, come and meet your maker
your Pigsy grandpa is here to claim your life
Junior Sha, go
Both of have escaped but came back to die?
You shameless demon
you wanted to marry the Prince?
Let me advise you, let him off
or else, when his army arrived
they will flatten your mountain
that's right, flatten your mountain
if you want to save the prince, save yourselves first
Junior Sha, I cannot handle this... I will run first
Second senior
Wen Tian Ying
you lied to me first
what did I do?
You claim that you don't care for my face
or the fact that I'm a demon and you want to be with me forever
that's a lie... its all a lie
Madam, I don't understand your words
when you let Tang monk off
you asked him to seek help from your father
if not, why are they back to save you?
And they claimed that your father will send his armies here
I did ask Tang monk to send a letter back home
but I didn't say that I'm going back
that's right, Prince did not ask to return
don't listen to that stupid Pigsy
actually, Prince didn't say that
my Master told the King that Prince was captured by you
but he didn't ask the king to come and harm you
that stupid Pigsy was talking nonsense
actually all the ministers dare not provoke you
why did you dare to come?
You know... my second senior
likes to boast
he will just escape when he fails
I... have little power
and can't be of much help
we don't want to provoke you either
your Majesty, there's a lady outside named is Bai Pian Pian
she claimed to be the Prince consort
Prince consort? Who? Send her in
my son is not married and his life is in danger
Who is this Prince consort?
Your Majesty, could it be that demon?
What demon?
Which demon dares to come here?
Your daughter-in-law, Pian Pian pays her respect to Father
may you enjoy a long life
You claimed to be the Prince consort
what is your proof?
Please take a look at this.
This is a gift from the prince to me.
He said he had it since little.
This is indeed my son's jade pendant
my son, where are you?
Say it! Where is my son now?
10 years ago, Prince was injured by a tiger
my father shoot the tiger and save him
and he stayed in my house for treatment
he stayed there for months and we developed feelings
and got married
For ten years,
why did he not return to the kingdom?
Because...
King, you should know the reason.
I dare not say it.
Prince, you have a cold heart
just because I refuse to let him learn music in Eastern land
we quarreled
I only slap him once.
And then he left the kingdom.
And hated me for ten years for it.
Actually, the prince has regretted it.
But as the time gets longer
he's too shameful to come back
I tried to talk him around and wanted to return with him
but he still refused
why did he let you come and why didn't he come with you?
Because he has a fear of tigers
and so he didn't come along.
Tiger?
Where are the tigers?
That injured tiger escaped and ate some immortal grass
he become a demon and transform into monk
to cheat people
before I came, he even visited my house
that's why i came to request for your help
to destroy the tiger demon and save Prince
so... where is that tiger-cum-monk?
He is Tang monk
Tripitaka?
Summon Tripitaka to see me.
Summon Tripitaka to see the king.
How could he be a demon?
I heard that the Tang monk was on his way to the west
the tiger killed him on the way and
took his identity to cheat others
that's why you meet the Tang monk aka Tiger demon instead
Tang monk is here
my respects to your Majesty
How can you tell if he is the tiger?
He looked the same when he was at my home.
Since you can recognize him,
can you make him show his true form?
That's easy, we only need some water
you demon are clever, but you turned evil
you will not be able to escape from the Way of Rights
Prince consort, the water is here
Beast, show yourself
Beast, surrender now
Hurry and protect the king!
Hurry! Protect the king!
Kill this demon!
Wait royal father!
Prince hate killing
let me take him back for punishment
Yes. I'll listen to you.
Put this tiger into a cage.
Prepare the cage.
Master, I'll come save you.
Prince consort, his Majesty send some wine to you
it must be a good wine
Yes.
Please.
Prince consort, see
Demon.
Who are you? Why did you come to kill me?
I am Tripitaka's 4th disciple.
Release my Master!
Little White Dragon.
Heavens sake!
What... what happened?!
Second senior. Ma... Master is in danger.
What happened to Master?
Ask yourself
you boasted in front of everyone
that you could capture the demon
but she is here and become the Prince consort instead
and meet his Majesty
She changed Master into a tiger.
And locked him in a cage
i wanted to save Master but the demon fought with me
and i hurt my vein
Heavens sake!
What should we do now?!
Little White Dragon, can you still fly?
Wha... what if I can?
If you still can fly
go back to your Western sea and be your Prince
I will go back to Gao village and be a son-in-law
How can you say this at a time like this?
Wh... what else can I say?!
Junior Sha is also captured by that demon
and I cannot fight her
if we don't dispersed... what else can we do?
Ask elder senior for help.
He can definitely save Master.
And he can also avenge for our lost.
I look for him?!
He hate me
he would kill me if he sees me
he's a kind monkey king
when you see him, don't mention that Master is in trouble
just claim that Master missed him and coaxed him back here
when he came and saw all these
he will feel angry
and will fight with that demon
and we could save Master
and revenge our defeats
Th... then...
Madam, the little demons were injured.
They can't transformed back into royal maids.
Let's leave with Tripitaka.
The king and queen would suspect me
if I leave in the middle of the night.
Besides, the queen hasn't seen me yet.
You guys should leave first.
Madam, you still want to find favor with them?
Haven't you give up on the prince yet?
Is immortality more important or the prince?
Madam, we are energized in the night and sleepy in the day
If you are here by yourself,
be careful of turning back into your original form.
Let's go...
Elder senior really enjoys being a King
if I have so many descendants to pamper me
I will also be a King
and won't be a monk anymore
Brother monkey. Heh... what a nice day, eh?
You are too polite... what is this
Zhu Bajie.
Aren't you protecting Tang monk on his journey?
Are you been chased away too?
Do you have a letter too... show me
Brother monkey, Master did not chase me away
and there's no letter
Oh right, Master misses you.
He wants you to go back.
He sweared to heaven that day and wrote a letter
now, he missed me and asked me to go back?
I think its not necessary
Brother monkey... look here
you cannot say those words
Brother monkey, you didn't know
Master really regretted his action
he's so regretful... that
his intestine was so messed up
Brother, you must be tried on the way
I will show you some fun
Brother, don't be so polite... lets go
Brother Monkey,
this is a nice place.
No wonder it's the most famous mountain.
Brother, is this a good place?
Brother monkey, what are you saying?
This place is like heaven
why did you even bother to ask?
If I have such a nice place
I will give up Chang-e
and rather live forever here
its not controlled by Heaven here... I could be carefree
and happy here, who wants to be a monk?
If you want to stay... stay
if you want to go... go and tell that monk
since he chased me away
don't miss me
Stop right there!
Protector of Horses
I have spoken all the nice words
alright, I never expected this from you
alright, I won't force you... I will go
and remain as a monk
What kind of place is this?!
What Heaven like place?
I think my cave is better
you heartless Protector of Horses... knave
you thought... thought that without you
we cannot get the Sutras?
One of these day... I will fart here
and pass some sickness to all your monkeys
I will let you be the first to die
ouch... who is it?
Oh no
Come!
Help! Help!
Get away! Go!
You lousy Pigsy
right after we parted... you started to bad mouthed me
its all your fault that Master chased me away
how dare you talk bad behind my back?
If I didn't teach you a lesson
its not justified
little ones, find some thick rod
and hit him
Get away!
For Master's sake... spare me
since you mentioned Master... I will add more punishment
Brother monkey... for Guan Yin's sake
please spare me
Get away!
I will not hit you for now... speak
what demon did Master encounter? Where?
Brother monkey... no... no harm befalls Master
he's just missing you
Brother Monkey, I'll tell the truth.
Say it!
Its that White Bone Demon
its her indeed
she's still alive after I hit her 3 times
That's right!
Senior, before you left
you told us
regardless of the demon, just state your name
its useless on her
and she also boasted that she would...
what would she do?
She said...
Say it!
She would kill you, suck your bones and eat your heart
She also said,
you may be skinny but she can still get some oil from you
Great King. You should go.
Don't let that demon think you're afraid of her.
Master can be heartless but I cannot be disloyal
I will be back after I saved Master
Great King, its alright not to return
its more important to save your Master
yes... that's right
That's strange. Didn't she have two royal maids?
Why are they are the door?
Do you want me to enter and notify her?
No need... which mother-in-law needs
to ask for permission to see her daughter-in-law?
Prince consort, are you awake?
Ghost! Ghost!
There's a ghost!
Someone help!
Prince consort is a demon
Where's the ghost?!
