The Untamed
You killed Jin Zixuan. Why push blame on me?
Someone will stab you.
Hand it over.
Episode 49
Second Brother, you've known me many years.
No matter what, you know how I've treated you.
I give up being Immortal Chief.
Tiger Seal is handed over.
Tonight I'll set off for Dongying and never return.
For the sake of all this...
Let me go my own way.
Leader Jin.
When you schemed havoc at Burial Mound,
I told you that calling me...
"Second Brother"
is no longer needed.
Second Brother.
Burial Mound events were a bad accident,
a big mistake.
But...
I had no way back.
Why no way back?
- You— - Brother. Do not talk to him.
Yes, Lord Zewu. You forgot your advice to Leader Jiang?
Don't let him talk rot.
Second Bro, all I said is true.
I received a letter.
What letter?
A blackmail letter.
That letter said
all these matters would be publicised in seven days.
It said to turn myself in and apologise
or await death.
So you gathered sects
in a Burial Mound siege.
After 7 days, if that person revealed your bad deeds,
sects would be too drained to fight you.
Even if it's true,
you can't coldly murder like this...
What else can I do?
Should I wait until everything is exposed, and rumours spread?
Wait till I'm a laughing stock,
kneel to apologise,
put my face under their feet and beg for mercy?
Second Bro, I had no third way.
It was their deaths
or mine.
Isn't this all caused by you?
If you hadn't done wrong,
how'd there be evidence!
I won't deny it.
You can't deny it! You...
I had no choice or why'd I do it?
Second Brother...
You don't believe me one bit?
I will ask you some questions.
- You can tell me one by one. - Brother!
Wanji, I know what I'm doing.
He won't do anything.
First question.
Your...sister...Qin Su.
You knew your blood links. Why'd you still marry her?
But I really had no choice.
Second Brother.
I couldn't refuse.
How'd you have no choice?
It was your marriage.
Don't marry, rather than ruining a girl who loves you,
admires you, respects you.
Second Brother!
Did I not truly love her?
Yes.
It was my marriage.
But could I really not marry her by saying so?
You can't be so naive.
I went to effort and trouble
to get Qin Cangye's agreement on the marriage.
As the wedding day neared, Jin Guangshan and Qin Cangye finally approved.
If I called off the marriage, what excuse would I use?
How would I explain to them?
Second Bro, I really thought everything was perfect.
Madam Qin came secretly to reveal the truth.
Know what I felt?
A streak of lightning striking me from above
wouldn't be worse.
Know why didn't she go to Jin Guangshan, but begged me?
Because he'd forced her.
My "good" father
didn't spare the wife of his loyal subordinate
and didn't remember he had that daughter.
All those years, she feared to tell her husband this.
If I'd suddenly broken the troth,
Jin Guangshan and Qin Cangye would've fallen out.
I'd have offended both sides.
And the tragic ending would be hers.
Even so...
Even if you had no choice—
Even marrying, be cold to her.
Why be warm to...?
By then,
I didn't know if I should hate my unfatherly father,
or hate my paranoid self.
So you killed him.
Your father.
Yes.
I killed him.
Using such a method.
Yes.
[ Blossom Pavilion ]
I brought women you like.
There are many of them. Are you happy?
A-Yao!
Now you have confessed
to those matters,
then I ask again.
How about Jin Zixuan?
No excuses. Just tell me.
Was Childe Jin's death your plan?
Jin Zixuan? Indeed, I didn’t run into him by accident.
What did you do?
What did you do?!
Speak!
A-Yao!
Hurry, go!
A-Yao, what are you doing? What's wrong?
Nothing, nothing.
A-Yao, your eyes look down when you lie.
Tell me what happened?
A-Yao!
It's my fault. I was careless—
Zixun left with guards.
Where'd he go?
Where but Qiongqi to block Wei Wuxian!
What?
Why didn't you stop him?
I didn't know his destination.
I...I can't control him.
I'll chase after him!
Why?
Why? Why?
Uncle Jin, why'd you do that?
Tell me why you did that?
Why?
Speak!
Why'd you do it?
Why?
A-Ling, can you tell me why?
Tell me why I am deferential to others
but never receive respect.
And your dad was arrogant yet people flocked to him.
Tell me why we had the same dad
but your dad could idly stay at home with his wife
and play with his child.
While I was ordered by my dad
to do all sorts of things!
Why, though our birth dates were the same,
did Jin Guangshan host
a large banquet for one son
yet witness his guard
kick his other son down Golden Koi Tower!
He told them to kick me down Golden Koi Tower
from the first step to the last!
A-Ling, tell me now...
All this—
What's the reason behind all this?
It's not that I didn't want to be a good man.
I once had hopes of my father.
If it was his order, whether to harm Childe Wei
or protect Xue Yang—
However stupid or hateful,
I did it.
A-Ling. Do you know what made me lose all hope?
It wasn't not being worth a hair on Zixuan's head
nor him calling for Mo Xuanyu.
Nor his not letting me hold you.
Nor his trying to erode my power.
Rather...
Rather, it was when he was out carousing.
It's what he told a bordello girl.
Why was a powerful, spendthrift Sect Leader like him
unwilling to do a small favour
and buy my mom's freedom?
Buy her freedom? No way.
Women are trouble, especially educated ones.
If I buy her freedom,
she'll pester me all my life.
Have a grape.
Tastes good! It's good.
Lord, you had her son?
A son? Ha! Forget it.
Let's drink!
Here.
Second Bro, you see?
As his son, I'm worth three words.
"Ha! Forget it."
He's still your father.
But you—
What use is saying this now?
There is no use.
Now it's no use saying more.
I can't help it.
I've done so many bad things yet hope for pity.
I—I am that kind of person.
Jin Ling!
Don't move!
Wei Wuxian! Didn't you take his weapons?
I did take his qin string.
Unless he's powerful enough to pull it out of thin air!
He hid it inside his body.
Really good trick.
- A-Ling! - Don't be anxious.
I did watch A-Ling grow up.
As I said before—
You go your way, I'll go my way.
In time, you’ll find an unharmed A-Ling.
Jin Guangyao, for a hostage, same if it's me!
Not the same!
You're injured, moving poorly.
You'll hold me back.
Leader Jin.
You forgot to take the most important thing with you.
Your loyal subject is still here.
Leader, don't care about me.
Thank you.
Leader Jin.
You lied again.
This once. No next time!
You said this last time.
I can no longer tell which of your words are true.
Sizhui?
Senior Wei, Light-bearer, I couldn't hold him back.
Hold back who?
Big Brother!
Baxia!
Big Brother...
No, it's Wen Ning.
Wei Wuxian, what's this?
Why's Wen Ning holding Baxia?
I don't know.
Sizhui, what happened?
Don't know. I found him like this.
I couldn't stop him.
What's going on?
Wen Ning won't obey. Is it—?
Sabre spirit possession.
Wei Wuxian! Jin Ling!
Jin Ling! Jin Ling, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Sect Leader!
Leader Lan, any medicine? Please help.
Leader treated you with respect.
Please help Leader!
Leader!
- Uncle, run! - Shut up!
Wen Qionglin!
Childe!
Wen Ning!
Childe, I can't control it.
You!
I'll hold it back!
You guys leave!
Childe Wei!
Wei Wuxian!
No, no.
Su She, why'd you try to kill me?
No, no!
- Help me! - I didn't! I didn't!
I didn't! I didn't!
It was you yourself!
Help me! Help me!
- Help me! - I didn't!
It wasn't me!
Careful!
Leader!
Minshan!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Gently, Bro Xichen!
Is my leg cut off?
It's fine, Huaisang. Don't fear.
It's just stabbed, not broken.
Stabbed!
Isn't stabbing scary?
Bro Xichen, save me! I'm dying!
It's not that bad. Here, swallow.
It's a painkiller.
I'm so unlucky.
Su Minshan suddenly caught me.
Gently, gently.
He cut me as he was fleeing.
He could've pushed me away.
Why'd he use a sword?
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Rest a while.
Come.
Leader Jin.
Don't make unnecessary moves.
Or else...
I'll show no mercy and kill you.
Thank you, Lord Zewu.
Huaisang, hand me that medicine.
Yes, okay.
Huaisang.
Bro Xichen, watch your back!
You!
What happened?
I-I just saw Third Bro,
no, Leader Jin, reaching behind.
I didn't know if he, if he...
