Venice, Italy. Domingo, January 8, 1324.
Good morning, father.
- Already made the count?
- No
To say God to him never is too much behind schedule.
- Mr. Polo.
- Father.
God hates the man who
they lie on all the things.
It does not die with the weight of
those lies destroying
its inmortal soul.
The man takes the world,
as same he finds it
Although the priest wants
to maintain it in the ignorance.
I went to China,
to the cut of the great Khan.
I served to him, I am
proud of to have served to him.
I fought to his side and
I governed next to him.
S0102rvase, would matter to him? Please.
Ve this?
This small piece of stone
a day will comprise of its world.
The truth
This is what I as much
I have said the truth,
nonlies,
nonfairy tales, the truth.
But not all the truth, single I
I said half to him of which I saw.
Genoa, Italy. 1298.
In last years, the Earth was
destroyed by hambrunas, plagues and wars.
And one of those wars was
between Genoa and Venice.
Two men had been in
prison and was a hell its end.
One of them is Rustigielo of
Pizza, the other is veneciano.
My name is Marco Polo.
- Taking, whiskey.
- Piensas that there will be peace, soon?
Inasmuch as time they will retain to us?
What you create, what opportunities
we must to leave here?
I believe that we will remain here until
somebody pays a guarantee by us.
How long will delay that?
And how we can be safe
that even so they will let to us go?
We will never leave here,
is that you do not understand it?
- The prison is not the aim of the world.
- Ja, truely?
- I Already have been imprisoned once.
- Here, in Genoa?
In China.
- You have been in China?
- And other many places.
Some places not even
known in Europe.
And all those places
they are here, in your mind.
And what there is if I say to you that there am
state in center of the world?
And I have seen the future.
There is no patience in a mind for that.
My trip began here,
when I saw cross those
masts in the port of Venice,
when I was young.
I wanted to know everything on
boats and where there are been and
what class of men and sailors
they mount them, and everything on seas.
My father and my uncle were
venecianos retailers
that they went to the aim of
world to look for gains.
What I wanted to know, was
on the hands that were
fact those beautiful strangers and
things that they negotiated.
I do not touch anything.
There is much gain in
exchanges where no veneciano
- iMarco!
- Or any other man of Europe,
it had before been.
It is massive gold. The great Khan of
China, Kublai Khan us gave it,
it happens safe.
He is the grandson of Ghengis.
- Ghengis Khan?
- The best soldier than the world
it has never seen. Yes.
He was then that I knew
that Chinese it was my destiny.
As it were written, that I would go there.
To where we know, we will make a fortune
negotiating with them.
- Yes.
They have silks and spices and
plates done of materials so
fine that you can, to traverse
of them, to see your hands.
They have caravans of camels
in order to negotiate by all Asia
They have gold and silver and diamonds.
The best craftsmen
and artists of the world.
And so vast cities
that they could be the oceans.
However, the empire of Khan
the West is as rich as nothing.
But we are organizing
the form to return to go.
We have listened that the Pope and the God
Christian, now allows the subjects
Chinese that says to nobody
God that they want.
But, Marco, if the true one
religion will arrive at him, then
While we removed good
gains of our sales
A that serious trip to
another side of the world,
We will pass first by Jerusalem
in order to take oil of the sacred temple
We would go accompanied by 2 priests,
that they would even travel with us
the cut of the great Kublai Khan.
If the sands had
state calm,
our trip had been easier,
so we were ourselves forced a
to travel crossing earth.
In spite of the dangers.
I was young, did not feel the fatigue to me
and it was arranged to change my
life does not matter what cost.
Very exhausted they were
men when they began a
to see first mountains.
The top of the world,
with both priests
complaining strongly to each step.
Noncontinuous, neither a step the more.
We know that to the Khan
he offered 100 priests
we only have two to offer to him
and you want to return
to Venice with the tail
between the legs.
- All we are going to die here.
The trip is too hard.
- Who knows if to that Kublai Khan
it exists. You have your merchandise
in order to interchange, they gave us
its word by that interest
no Pope has had an opportunity
like this, thousands of souls need
its aid, the faith of the world is going to change.
- We promised two you cure.
- Maffeo.
We almost are
dying in these mountains
- iPara!
- Of insurance we will die.
And if we did not die here, nobody knows
Which is the end of this trip?
We know. It is the opportunity
to change the course of history
where nobody has been able to arrive.
Venecianos you single want
the fame, is codiciosos men.
- You only create in gold.
- And this he takes to his son to his death.
In name of those wealth.
- Pope.
- I came by my own will.
- Your father is risking your life,
by a fairy tale.
It was there. It saw
Khan with its own eyes
And also it saw dragoons, ah. And
unicornios and horses with wings,
Who is he? , a mentiroso,
a bad man or an idiot.
Or the three things.
- Marco.
Jalos to go, jalos to go. Thus
we will not have to do them more.
The priest can be in the certain thing.
Perhaps all we die in the attempt.
Perhaps we would have to send
to the return boy.
All those histories that told me
on the earth that knew,
on which they saw in China,
I want to see them by my same one.
Eh, Marco.
You come from there,
of the top of the world?
- Yes.
- It is why it does not have forces
in order to fight
fever that has contracted.
- You can help it?
- There are a grass that diminishes
the heat in its blood.
He is everything what we can do,
others are not in our hands.
That it finds its way of return.
We will not advance, we must hope by him.
The Maffeo uncle wanted to leave me
there and to continue with the trip,
but my father refused to continue.
For a complete month nobody
viviria or moriria knew to I if.
- Still you want to go
to China with your father?
It sees zale Wing and dale
thanks that still you are alive
Sabes at the most must advance?
And what type of welcome is going to have?
The papa blessed in trip, and we have
figures blessed in Jerusalem
The papa must be a great one
man in its own earth
its God is represented
in all Earth
Pero Kublai Khan has
a so great empire
that not even the Great one
Alexander could dream.
What has uncivilized ones
that to offer to him to him?
- What has father to offer to him?
- When my father returned to Venice,
nobody believed to him, they said that
they were histories of travellers nothing else.
Then your you want to prove
that they are mistaken
Or is something more?
You want to see it with your own eyes.
If he said the truth.
The Tacla-ma-dog, means:
You enter and never you return.
They are 45 days of pure sand,
there is villages, nor no shade.
After this one desert,
there is another desert,
it is a part of the Gobi,
there is no form to evade it.
We must go straight
in order to be able to cross it.
- That is that?
- A newspaper.
A registry of the followed way
and the things that we have seen.
It leaves that. It would go to you better
working in your Arithmetic.
- IT0102o Maffeo!
- And if somebody finds us more
and it uses our routes stops
to become rich at the cost of us.
How you would feel then?
The knowledge is the power, Marco.
And the power takes to
wealth. For that reason we are here.
So that the family Pole
turn the guardian
of the route to the wealth of China.
The books could be the things
more dangerous of the world, Marco.
And who you think that it will read your pothooks?
Those that find your bones?
IChina!
The army of Kublai
Khan came this way.
This is what happens when
the city defies the Khan.
IPor here!
Hope, hope.
These men were
to be the cavalry of Khan,
envoys by him to provide
a safe step to
members of its cut
If in Venice it had
soldiers like these
we had conquered
Genoa many years back
If in Venice we had
soldiers like these
we could conquer the world.
IMarco!
What were those things? ,
Creen has more powerful?
How far thinks that they can send them?
When they nail to you
knife in your back
for silenciarte, your you are going to ask:
Of what the grip is done?
Who design the leaf? , From where came?
One feels like dust, but it shoots fire
I have the intention to be your slave
Desires of my owner
they are my only happiness.
We have sufficient
provisions for three days.
The daily life with the slave
it turned partly of us,
thus the good friendships begin
and that became ours.
- How can do that?
- Chinese Magic.
Ja, ja, ja.
That stone would be first
of the miracles that would see.
The great caravans that
they took the wealth
of China until the aim
of the world they were another one.
But no would be so
great like watched my first
to the hugest city of China.
Hugest of the world.
ShanDu, is here
capitol of Kublai Khan
Come, by this way.
- What means that?
- Baboons, or Barbarians.
We went to know Kublai,
grandson of Ghengis Khan.
The man who united to several
nations and tribes of Valle Mongol.
Marco.
Quiet.
Once inside they are crouched and
touch the forehead with the floor,
they do not watch direct its eyes, no
leave its breaths touch it.
When they go away walk backwards,
and they maintain its glances towards the ground
Of knees.
- Where is the priests?
- In the end they were scared to the trip
their Majesty, for that reason returned.
But we have oil,
oil of the sagrada city
I ordered to them to bring one
thing and you bring another one.
Naa, is an oil.
Blessed by the own Pope.
Is a this conversation on
the submission of the Pope towards me?
- Can also give that Me?
- That is not in our hands
excellence, we are
salesmen, retailers
She is as if I I had not spoken,
and you they did not have here been.
The Pope is listened to,
all the nations of the West
they are listened. And while they
think that they can change it
to its religion it does not have
nothing that to fear of them.
Shhhh.
What age you have stops
to have that wisdom?
The valiant Ghengis was 13 years old
when it began his conquests,
- Are you a second Ghengis?
- Hundreds of years back
the Roman empire governed
the world but I can see
that this he is huger.
So that so flattering
youngster? , I know acute
or in my opinion which
I listen is full of trivialities
Your you think that the Asian kingdoms
they do not have anything to fear of the West.
Not while they think that they can
to turn it to you and his people.
You are suggesting I had
a mistaken strategy
and for that reason pedi that
came the priests?
- I.
- Sometimes the best answer
it is not to respond anything.
We must it have left in Persia.
- That young person.
- It does not like to listen.
If but it watches his around.
Who is going to say what you to him
it does not want to listen?
And is not perhaps that
that we needed more?
This way delays
to avoid my anger, flattering to me?
No, I did not say flatteries.
I have seen miracles here.
But I do not create to have seen hundreds
of that they have here in China
It would take all a life to see them.
I can concederte that.
What you think, Pounakuaks,
even though you can count
with a whole life, it would be possible to be civilized
to this young Barbarian?
- You would have more chance with that.
We will go away now from return to Venice
Majesty, if that is its desire.
- He is It, but his son, who speaks
with as much reverence, we go it
to let answer by itself,
they ten well-taken care of with your answer.
- I did not come here to negotiate,
I came here to see an empire
that my father described to me,
I love and it respect,
but I am not wanted to go thus,
to give the return and
to return again to house.
The young person says things
idiots who soon will be sorry.
- Specially this young person.
- But and he has age to have his
own criterion. Is not truth? You
you will be here, for all your life.
I leave it under its safekeeping Lord Chenchu.
Take to this Barbarian to fix itself, to get dressed
see that it is possible to be done with him.
Who knows, perhaps a day is useful.
It found support in
empress, she spoke by you.
That is good and lucky.
But at the same time,
the best form to survive in
the cut is to happen unnoticed
A first stone that knows where
to now point and one that burns.
Pole.
You are going to live here, hazlo your home.
We will give more you if you have
luck to last one week.
- Quieres to maintain he himself slave?
- Yes.
- We could darte the one best one.
- I am customary to him.
I have heard more enthusiastic answers.
- Your you will return with me Marco.
- No
- I am your father.
- Where you are going to find to other now?
Your always you said to me that
the life was an adventure,
or he is not nothing.
- What life you are going to have here?
- What life I can have without you in Venice?
- I must do this.
- That means that I am not going to return to verte.
- Niccolo, we must go to us now,
or we will also be catched here.
Delay, hopes.
If you must quedarte, then
everything writes what you see Marco
the men need tests. They
they despise to me because I do not have any.
Ponlo everything there.
I was only, still worse,
it was catched in two
worlds, in two bodies,
A man of the West, learning
of the men of the East.
The East seems very strange
for the foreigners.
The Chabi empress,
also she governs the Kingdom,
- How can be that?
- In your world the women govern?
- No, they cook stops
the children, but do not govern.
The men do not reflx mng themselves
to listen a woman?
- So that they would do it?
- Because she is a woman.
The mother of the Khan took it to the throne,
he listened to it more than anyone.
Still Ghengis Khan,
it consulted his spouses
It shared its Kingdom to its children,
so that it would have to be of another way?
Because she is a woman
Is not a man twice
more wise person if he has to his side
to its woman?
- What you did?
- I paid by the species.
- But the money of Gold or Silver.
- This is money also.
- It is paper.
- But it serves just as Gold or the Silver.
- This sheet of paper is not worth anything.
Vale just like the Gold or the Silver?
Yes.
IPero is single paper!
Quiet Qu0108dese. Where hurts to him?
- How is that that does not hurt?
- If it believes in the Chinese magic the sufficient thing.
IFunciona!
It must have believed.
- What are these lines?
- The points by where the energy flows.
Their doctors do not know this?
- No
- And how treats them?
They do not do it. They say, and if that
it does not work, bury to you.
Yes, China is rich and powerful, and many
things more than we are not
but Europe is the center of the world.
It must be.
God put there to the Pope in its church.
The true God?
Empire has thousands of Gods.
That is blasphemy.
The men wage the war here,
but he does not stop to save the soul of others
reason why there are saying to me, are
more terrible wars of all.
Pr0102ebalo.
It had never proven something thus.
- All this is truth?
- You could ask to him my father,
before they called mentiroso.
I create, I believe to you in everything
what you have to me counted
Still if it did not do it, are
trips huger than never
they are had counted.
My writings have not been
sights by anybody in Venice
Nobody was hill there
the life of Pole now.
No, I am professional writer. Without
modestia I can say to him that I am good.
Has listened on
me, Rustigielo de Pizza?
- No
- No.
But, I was in favor far of many years.
To my writings them
they made many copies.
- It never listens to speak on that.
- Never?
- No
- That rare.
I write Romance. You
he has a wonderful history
but a little cuts of You
he was young in a strange earth,
facing an uncertain future.
You never paid attention to somebody,
aside from its slave. Somebody
with who to share its life.
- Somebody Had, if.
- Ah, of the cut.
It was brought to the cut,
but against its will
- Kensai, p0106rtate well.
- Ja, ja, ja.
Kensai, is the men of the Khan.
They iDetengan it!
It discovers your head. IHazlo!
D0108nle the return.
She will be a good wife for the Khan.
Sisters.
We go.
You you so do not take it to chest.
We will find another fianc01e for you.
Temulum, you are.
- Shh, mu0108vete.
If they are lucky, if, they will be
chosen to be one night,
in the alcove of the Khan, no
more, only one night.
It does not concern whatever imploren
After that night,
they will be given those
that it chooses, a soldier, a general, a
times to both or with somebody of the cut.
- To where you go?
- It is better than you do not know it.
If it does not return to see me, at least
I say to him that he was instructive
to know a Barbarian.
Not only you put in danger
but that you put to me in danger
to me also.
Perhaps the Khan is very wise and all she sees it
but it has its favourites.
One of them is Achmath,
it is rich and powerful and has
all the cortesanas that wish
but it is not sufficient stops
he. It loved my sister,
it rejected it, and he
she executed his revenge.
The Khan allows that.
- I already said it,
Khan has his favorites,
nobody says a word to him of this
- They did that to you?
- I swore to kill it, I could not arrive at him.
Somebody did it but it failed.
Achmath volume revenge
against all my clan
Still it is doing it.
The fianc01e of one of my men, Honchu,
it has been brought and locked up
in the house of the women,
Honchu will not return to never see it.
It is now as enslaved as I am it
- Your you are not my slave.
- I am enslaved of a Barbarian.
That it eats with the hands
and a God thinks that only
it can govern a world
as vast as this.
Something very special stops
tonight excellence
Teacher, calls it stops
to take care of the son of the Khan.
Veto of here.
Va to come?
- To where was your head?
- The prince asks for it.
The prince does not have
returned of the hunting.
Treason.
- Rebellion in the old city, gentleman.
- When they arrive at the Palace you wake up to me.
You do not worry, are
just a few rebellious
in the streets.
Ponte this. It walks.
The slaughter will continue. They will kill
to all the involved ones
and to all those that are
state near them,
and later to all those that knew them.
Better you let to me go.
Before they come by me.
It was treason.
It was treason.
What is greater treason, Its Excellence:
To rob, to kill and to violate
under the shield of its name
or to leave unpunished those men?
Is that what him
standards to this Barbarian?
To challenge its Khan?
Lord Achmath did
that it did in his name,
but its cut and his
generals had too much
fear to say the truth to him.
Madness, Excellence, only that could be.
Perhaps they spoke to him stops
that he governed of that way.
It is not sufficient with being
the richest governor
of the world, perhaps no
he is better to be also
wisest?
ICalla! , your flatteries no
they go to salvarte this time.
I listened to you and now it watches this.
It is involved in treason,
a Barbarian, insulting to one
of my better men.
Accusing of not knowing to me
what happens just ahead
of my noses.
Perhaps they are civilized,
perhaps they are only monkeys.
Even though they are intelligent monkeys.
Take it to it.
So it is truth,
Lord Achmath did all
those things in my name
and nobody said nothing to me,
using my protection for its crimes
and not even my generals,
they have the anger to say it to me.
And who me it said it?
A boy, a Barbarian.
Can the Great Khan be a poor judge?
- IR0103pido, that somebody responds to me!
- No, Sir, is lies,
all lies.
- No, it is truth, everything is truth.
It is truth, whichever others
truths that I do not know still.
The Chinese are the people
more creative of the world,
As you can see I have many to
better within my employees.
I would say most artistic,
the best ones in the executions,
to cut in 100 pieces,
who obtain the death
longer and lasting. If
I feel that deserves mercy,
then I order that him
cut the eyes first
so that it cannot see
what it will happen to him later,
perhaps it had to be more
generous leaving the eyes him.
What seems to you?
What you are?
A sensible man or
one that says the truth?
A man can be the two things
Ah, I do not know any.
You can levantarte.
Your you defied to your
father for quedarte here.
I know something on living in
shade of one of its ancestros.
Your you finish doing your
first dangerous enemy
congratulations are
signal of the ambition.
I cannot have to Lord Cogatai
in prison for a long time,
its lineage is powerful and when it does it
it is not going to you to be easy
to find friends in China here
Your you are an unusual young person,
you seem to have talent,
intelligence, but still is early,
you do not have to anybody of your religion,
I do I use of those
men from time to time.
A man whose loyalty
towards me he is personal
and indestructible. A man
that I can trust,
until a point by
supposed. A man who
it says only the truth to me and it says
the truth from me to the others
always and all the truth.
Your you will become
my man in the cut,
or you will face the rage
of Lord Cogatai only
and you will not arrive at ponerte old that I create.
One said to you that to survive
he was better to remain invisible.
Not only it is requesting to me
that others have not been able
it looks for a friendship.
It has the Empress.
in its bed every day.
But this single one. This is the unique one
friendship class that can
to allow itself with somebody like I.
If you become its friend, you will be
enemy of all the others.
They will be whispering that
only you have approached him
in order to betray it soon and when it dies
or you lose the Empress please
they will seat in the throne of
Dragoon, that has to do with you?
I saved the life to you. And
I risked mine to do it.
I must know the rebellion finished?
It was finished when Acbath died.
- You do not look for more revenge?
- It is finished.
And the woman who was cleared of your
Clan. You do not look for revenge by her?
He was not against the Khan all this, but
against which one became in its name.
Its faith is of her, knows it.
You made Temulum well,
the Khan is contented,
very contented. It orders that
be assigned to a person,
for which it seems
to have great plans.
A gift from the Khan.
I know that she never me
he loved so much as I loved it
from the first moment. In
other circumstances, that know.
Everything what did had grace,
everything about her fascinated to me.
It belonged to this
new world that I discovered.
Between all these strange things.
It was wonderful.
I could not be contained to write everything,
since it had promised to my father.
It was strange and difficult to understand,
like its music.
Not nothing about you
and I want to know it everything.
- To write it in those books.
- No, never it would do that.
I want conocerte
because I want conocerte.
- Then preg0102ntale to Pedro.
- Pedro?
It knows everything. Also
it knows that you saved your life.
Your eras one of the women of its clan?
Guards, paper, red
and pen, hurries.
- What you are doing?
- Explorer writer.
- Writer explorer.
Ja, ja, ja, Marco, Marco.
All my life I have expressed
my brain to create
adventures, characters,
love histories.
In order to fill these empty pages.
And here in this prison,
where I thought that everything had
finished for me, you
it offers history me
huger than never it had thought.
- And above it says to me that she is true.
- It is truth, everything is truth.
Then the entire world must
to know it, not only we.
- Perm0102tame that does it?
- Hacer what?
Rustigielo de Pizza.
The trips of Marco Polo.
Ohh.
The trips of Marco Polo
by Rustigielo de Pizza
The trips of Marco Polo
counted by Rustigielo de Pizza
Only, only, the trips
of Marco Polo. Ja, ja, ja,
soon we discussed that to put
in the page of the title eh.
But so far
You and the girl, his
slave, Kublai Khan,
the cut, enemies
throughout, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
You have undergone too much.
You want that your pain finishes.
I have the power for darte that,
but first I need to know
what names obtained from you
related to the rebellion.
It has not given any name still.
That means that
still you are in danger.
And because it finishes yet
that he touches, I also run I am in danger.
So that? The Khan knows that
Acmath caused the rebellion
If they were rebelled once,
could not return it to do?
- If they think that they are a right.
- I will speak with the Khan.
You do not understand with which you are fighting?
You can lose the head.
I said to you that you would have luck
if you lasted one week here.
You survived that
time not for a long time more.
Lord Coconaugh, you are going to be released.
You will not arrive very far
with that in your neck.
I am going away to give. It does not have
sense that executes us to the three.
- I will not leave you do it.
- Sometimes the slaves we made decisions.
- And if I cause that they arrest with me to you?
- It is a risk that I will take.
ITE I need!
Difficult and you are disobeyed
but I cannot move here without you.
- Lord Chenchu will protect to you.
- It has been in the cut all the life.
Crees that would have survived without
to betray to anybody, since it would do with me?
Esc0102chalo.
I do not have anything, nor you. Nor Temelum.
We are fragile without one of the other.
We only can trust we ourself.
We are going to survive,
we can make it together.
And now I am of its Clan.
The Barbarian did its slave to you
also to make its work dirty?
It has the protection of the empress
like I.
Then one looks for
clothes to take shelter
it is not that the winter arrives
before you of account.
Lord Chenchu.
That young his, the Barbarian,
follows as hard as before?
Let us say that to live in the cut
more wise person is doing it.
Surely, because still
it has its pretty head
on its shoulders a
to weigh of its enemies.
It is time to prove it
to he and his loyalty.
Commerce, commerce, commerce
it means to assure the ways,
the rivers of the pirates, this city
it controls the commercial routes,
of the alliances of the East.
Spice alliances.
They are worth more than gold.
- Where is those spices?
How many has that way?
So that they only grow there?
This is not a geographic map
it is a diplomatic outline.
The governor of this
city has been speaking
with people desafectas to its emperor.
If we treated this man
like a a direct enemy,
it can think that it does not have anything
that to lose and it will send a rebellion.
Perhaps but it ignores its disloyalty
have value to question my authority.
Lord Chenchu and others think that this
it is an entangled subject that you
with your talent for the words
and your flatteries you can
to be able to negotiate.
It means a long trip by the river,
by it laughed so vast that could swallow,
half of the West, you create
that you can be far from me,
and to execute this task in my name?
Single to see, its excellence, if
the rest the kingdom is contented
under the government of the empress
- What you think, Lord Chenchu?
We can trust to him to this
Barbarian is delicate mission?
A long trip for you.
While I take care of
loose threats in this place.
You wanted justice and that
it is to end your pain.
Here you have.
I want that you know Marco Polo.
Marco.
It is is my Kensai sister.
This he is Marco Polo, he wants
to know everything about the world.
He is fast, but it must learn
to have patience to look for everything.
It is different, if. You see its nose.
It is good he loves to me.
Now it vetoes.
It is single here
also. To only she has me me.
If it gets to grow she goes
to need a protector,
that with its power it takes it with interest.
I know what means.
If nonreturn of this trip
you know that you are free to find
to that it occupies my place, somebody
with the power to protect to Kensai.
But I will return.
Yes. Your destiny and your does not belong to us
In your country are slaves?
The majority lives like slaves,
they already bought its souls to them.
Regresars sometimes?
So that? When there is
as much that to see of the world.
I think that perhaps you return.
I want to see the rare thing of your world.
And the wonders that contain.
You cannot speak thus, you know it.
I surprise It?
One vanishes like
dream when memory.
Is pretty?
He is one of the places
prettier of the world.
Even considering that what
they think all is single in making money.
It seems to me like of a last life.
The life of another one.
- You do not wish to see your father again?
- By all means that I want.
In order to make the peace with
he by abandonarte here.
Was not that what did?
- The same one Never finishes to the trip
person who begins. One
it discovers things about one same one
during the trip, I not it
I judge reason why it found.
And a day all will have this.
And I will tell Venice that
China is the center of the world.
And that I, Marco Polo, son
of Niccolo I was here,
Serving the great Khan to him.
Is this a suggestion or an insult?
I must deal with a Barbarian and young person.
I speak in name of
Khan and of all its power.
The gentleman who is in the sky and
in the Earth you know that you love it,
but he thinks that he wants less to them
by the refugees in its city
it seems that it has refugees
of the rebellions
I give him to shelter to all those that request it,
my people do everything like
same towards the great Ghengis.
We mongoles come them
of many races after all.
When I return to the cut
I hope to be able to say to him to the Khan
that what said to him they were lies,
and that its governor
he has his neck where he goes.
Reason why you say can
to also cut to him to the language and mine.
Even so, we have the power.
Then it seems that we go
to verify it, gentleman.
It is a trick, you deceived Barbarian to me.
The Khan does not want his head
he wants the one of the rebels.
- So that I must believe to him?
- The right of perpetual ownership by my honor.
The Khan knows that you
he lodges the rebels here
you never listened to it.
You know that the anarchy
it is the modern disease and
you would make any thing
to eradicate it.
- You would say that to him.
- Is not that the truth?
Is not a trap?
The only trap is to lodge
to the enemies of the Khan.
- Is not thus?
- Deletion mark that message by me and my family.
So that loyalty
it would have to be punished?
It sees it.
She was one proves and you did it well.
A thing is certain today
we gained a victory.
Tomorrow we will need another one
and another one after that.
And certain of everything
it is not to trust anybody
Your you rob my secrets,
endoselos to my enemies.
- You become my enemy.
- No, no, no.
I wrote everything what I saw in its empire
it does not stop to rob, but to leave
a test for all the life.
Miracles, what miracles? To rob
and to burn, to shoot and to kill
the town that does not pay, paper
that it is worth more than gold.
- Miracles?
- All those are miracles,
all are wonderful,
you see it every day,
for that reason it forgets how
extraordinary they are
If and everything what Chenchu has taught to you.
Today you proved same you. This
city needs a governor
that I can trust.
Your first official work
it is to order that they kill them.
Ah, pardons its lives today and
of insurance they will attack to you tomorrow.
He will be safe that you return to the palace.
- Those loose ends have been as the danger in which was?
It saved to us to both
of a greater danger.
- How you could do it?
- It comes to live in the Court all the life.
We could not survive without
our own treasons.
It was its neck or mine.
All these years it has been thus.
You were right, not can
to trust us
that is something with which
you always can count.
You are not astonished, you do not need it.
He was something strong that I felt
in my own rights,
to have the power to give
the life or the death.
Pero how long can
a man to maintain a favor a
those that they have to be able absolute?
I never knew if
he could see the dusk,
nobody in the cut of Kublai
Khan. He does not concern whichever favors
you have of the Empress.
What happened to Temulum, you returned
to see it or you took another wife?
So that it would do that?
It can who not me
I land on water but if she loved it.
Still knowing that she
it moved away by itself of me.
Since I were disappear,
she tried to return to her destiny
what it indicated its faith to him,
it escaped of its votes stops
to return with the man
that it really loved.
Chonggu, Chonggu. No, No
Kill it.
You must have the dry throat.
- And soon?
- He is everything in my experiences.
But they are in Venice.
We will never return them to see.
And what?
This remembers If you do not obtain
that they rescue to you, you will die here.
Your only hope of
immortality I am.
- You?
- The rich one with the pen, yes.
- The books are not written single.
- I know It, how you think that I wrote my newspapers.
Who knows of them? In addition
of you and few venecianos.
What is? What is
that you do not want to revivir?
- Company/signature this.
- Here.
Temulum is here? What happens?
She tried to escape of the palace,
they stopped the guards.
The guards of the palace she
he did not survive which they did to him.
This it is not my destiny,
your you are not my destiny.
Your you would wish to be it,
I left back when they arrived
the soldiers of the Khan.
And it said that a protector needed
for its sister.
I gave permission to look for him
another husband if I did not return.
But it was blind
with him, is not thus?
Yes.
She never forgot it.
Chonggu was its destiny. It was
the man of whom they robbed it.
She never it deceit, Marco.
No, never.
But its sister, I want
to fulfill my to have
I am afraid that it is too much behind schedule.
They took to Kensai
to the House of the Women.
- Then I failed to them to two.
- You did not fail to him to anybody.
They two had his
destiny. And your you have yours.
What a man can more do, who
he is not to be faithful to his own destiny?
You Can fight against
the Gods that you have?
The answer of the sent ambassadors
from the Earth of the Rising Sun.
Take them to it.
Their heads, sent of return
the heads of the ambassadors
in sealed boxes.
Mongoles can have
taken Chinese by the sword
but they are the sufficiently ready thing stops
knowledge that must be governed by the pen.
Already ramos a nation
civilized when Ghengis came.
The geniuses of the conquest
they do not have to collapse that.
They respect to Tao and
lessons of Confucius.
He himself Kublai has said that not it can
to say if the Christians, Muslims,
or Buddhist Jews or are better.
Each man believes in which he wants.
Who, you will ask yourself,
it conquered to who?
Everything is written in
annals of history.
So that all the man knows
the traditions and serve to them as guide
to present and future conducts.
Like living in harmony with the world,
the duties and rights of everyone.
One of your duties like
governor is ocuparte of this.
The poor men, patients and who no
they can be worth by themselves.
Also you will take care of
the education of these.
These children here.
You will make sure that the names
of each one of the inhabitants
of each house they are in the door.
He is the best thing to maintain the order.
You will construct towers for fires.
Places where it is possible to be gone for
to save the pocesiones in case of this.
You will make sure that each man
know like protecting its house of the fire.
It is valid for
streets and the whole city.
When a man kills another one, what does
of good to the family of the dead
to also kill it to him.
We put a price to him to the man
assassinated and we make the assassin
to work until
death has been paid.
It remembers, the Earth laws and the Sky
they are applied to all including a same you.
But it does not stop the Emperor,
because he is the son of the Sky
then how to apply them him.
What is that?
Messengers of the Khan.
I must return immediately, I am not going to take
no soldier, until
surrender of the city.
One had gone away like
prince, and now orders itself to him
to return like a thief.
She had to die, is necessary to be
obedient, she must follow the orders
or there will be no order.
When trusting you, not us
we mistook, you you demonstrated
your faith like governor and
your words are worthy of
a diplomat.
You reconstructed the city,
you fortified its walls
you caused that the population grew.
You caused that the inhabitants felt:
Out of danger, prosperous insurances and.
Your name, by all means, never
it will be announced publicly
How we could admit to one
Barbarian in a so high position?
As it is 50
He is dangerous to leave somebody
governing in he himself
place for a long time.
The people forget that they direct
only because we
we allowed, soon
they lose the head.
And now it can that there is
new subject for you, Pole.
Gueme.
It tell me, what you create,
which could more be the weapon
dangerous into the hands of my enemies?
- Wealth.
- No
- I exercise.
- Ja
The knowledge. The knowledge.
These maps reveal where they are
my forts, the bridges that cross
my rivers, my palaces with
its wealth, the cities more
difficult to defend for me.
Without these knowledge my
enemies are blind, blind
as I with respect to them am blind.
There are too many spaces
in target in these maps.
These are the Territories of
Rising sun. Hundreds of years
back, China established his
colonies there. But in
times when people became
, hard proud, they refused
to recognize that they belong to us.
I sent ambassadors there, demanding
that they obeyed, but they
they cut to its heads and me
they sent them in closed boxes.
- They must be punished.
Yes. To know, I need to know how
And if we can make alliances
with these islands against him.
And here, here how
forts are these soldiers.
Is they of Ghengis or mongoles
that they will devastate with us or we
we can devastate with them?
Since we did with Auer,
the Young, the Sunk,
And the sea, how far extends
this sea and these islands and if these
islands really exist or
it is that they are creations of
imagination of somebody. And Mongolia,
Mongolia is the home of all
tribes united by Ghengis Khan.
Histories of the men say
that it is the Kingdom at night, and
what has of the Kingdom of the Snow?
They exist, really exist?
What exists?
How trusted of
they we can be here?
Here it is the Earth of
The Flying Dragoons,
here, the Earth where to the men
a single very great foot grows to them,
which they are accustomed to
to use to cover itself of the sun.
Here, men with
mouths in the stomachs.
You have seen these things?
Not personally, but
man who drew them, saw them.
The travellers have counted on them.
And the stories of the travellers
they are always true?
This is in which they create
people, in which they have believed
from distant times.
- The men would have to believe
in which they have seen.
What uses will give the maps
if they are based on stories?
The spaces in target are preferable.
No, to fill the spaces in target
it would be better even, with the truth.
Friends or enemies, knowledge.
The knowledge is always the best thing.
Where we will find to somebody
in who we pruned to trust and
that it fills those spaces in target?
Without stories, riddles or lies.
Whose eyes are clear,
whose judgment is healthy, whose
loyalty is indisputable.
And only because this way
it can protect its Khan.
Its Excellence has allowed
that a Barbarian leaves the kingdom?
With its wisdom, it has decided
that it can trust him.
How much it could leak to
the West, like creating the powder
how we organized our armies,
until where the Great Wall arrives.
Not even they have
stone that aims at the North.
Once they have it, will be
safe our borders?
Perhaps it has planned it
everything to betray to us.
To gain its favor, and to take
what it has learned its king.
- It does not have more king than I.
- Can be safe of that?
The Chinese call to the foreigners
of a form and to the friends of another one.
Will be Pole always a stranger?
Or is a heart Barbarian?
The great Ghengis, its wise grandfathers
it never left friendship it
it interfered in its security.
Veto.
I know it, I know it, hates to Pole. It does not want
to say that it does not have sense which says.
Certain, but also it is truth that
while they are fought among them
they do not have time to prepare
nothing against us.
You are the Khan, your
decision is the one that matters.
If you cannot trust him, that thus it is.
Jalo in its abandoned mission.
That it creates those maps that
show the way
while our enemies
they plan our fall.
And thus I began my trip for the Khan.
- To where we go?
- To wherever the Khan commands to us.
- And when we are going to return?
- When we find what
we are looking for.
And what we are looking for?
If we knew it, what
sense would have the trip?
There they are those wonders with
those that I have dreamed since it was
a boy and watched the masts
of the boats in Venice.
Wonders after wonders,
worlds after worlds.
And the men went to the war,
that it seemed intrinsic to the Earth.
New earth, the new people, customs.
And new Gods to which
it says to them of different forms.
What it made me question to me if
the God that I knew I could be
the only one to govern
universe, as well as to us.
While I see more, I learn more.
Does not make want to see more you?
Always there is another top, another valley.
And another one behind that.
- North, South, This, the West.
- I wonder myself what makes want to see it everything you.
- Do not wish you to it?
- I do not have election, master.
What turns a man
in traveller and to other no.
What does that a man this contentment
with passing its life in a place
or to another one to live dying.
During 15 years I traveled
towards where the Khan thought that
they were the Earth borders.
And as far as my force it took to me.
- Standing up.
- Jame to die here.
Standing up. These here because
your Emperor you ordered it.
You defied to he himself Kublai
Khan. To the Genghis grandfathers.
You will declare the war to Him to your Khan?
The Khan is to too much far.
I do not need that this
man guides me my death,
although it dies at the hands of a slave.
I was given to him like slave,
but I have given my voluntary loyalty him.
You are to him loyal when no
he is not even mongol.
He is mongol more than you yourself.
Only because he is not a cowardly one.
What you are writing?
Your last words?
There is no food, every day
somebody dies. You do not have nor idea
from where you are nor where we go.
But the Earth Blanca exists,
I believe that we will find it.
- If we go this way to the North
- We cannot do it, Marco.
We cannot nor we will do it. This time no.
You know more of the world than anyone,
but you cannot know it everything.
No man can know it everything.
It returns. It saves your life.
Vanos the life to all.
To the south.
You were right, already was hour.
He had been wonderful to know if there is
somebody more behind those mountains.
To see the Earth Blanca
he had been perfect.
I know it.
Good, good, good. Of return
of another trip without sense,
with more trinkets.
I have not forgotten that me
you put in the prison
all those years, Barbarian.
Soon I will be caz dote.
- Uhh.
- Ja, ja, ja.
Ah, ja. Another trip, another safe return,
What miracles you brought to me now?
This is of the Reign of the Nights,
it has interminable forests, and
earth is congealed by all sides,
sometimes the gifts are animals
enormous as great as the elephants.
I thought that you had sworn,
that you would never bring to him more
to the Khan those histories of travellers.
Certain excellence.
People fundamentally
she takes them with traps,
now it considers,
whichever pairs do annually,
ah, still you have something of
son of the veneciano retailer.
- What is this?
- It is an extracted liquid
of rocks but it gives to light and heat.
Ah, ja, ja.
New features, nothing else.
Whenever the Khan you
he sends to the Earth center,
your you return to say to him no,
I have still not reached it.
Those words go a
to be always the same ones.
If the end exists I no
I have still found it.
The force is lowering, are prepared
to move when of the order.
The Khan fell today. I need
to know how much it has left.
But it is prohibited
to prophesy the death of the Khan.
Very badly!
We must be prepared
for which it happens.
With all we.
It has tremors in
hands, try to hide it.
I brought the doctors but no
they say to me how weak or ill
it is really.
I gave my life stops
that the cut was solid,
through this.
It says that one approaches
time of the changes.
There is a fire circle,
a earth circle,
and the circle of the water.
And the aim of one of them approaches.
The Khan is becoming
weak but I must die
before he.
In itself, the Khan can take
advice who come from badly,
it is why they are needed
honest advisers like you.
It would not have to go to the war against
of the Earth of the Rising Sun.
It is easy to send itself to the war,
to cross those islands justifying itself in
the value that can have their kingdoms.
It is going to fail, and that
it goes to destroy its heart and
also it is going to give to him
breath to its enemies.
One handcuffs? So that you want
one? The end of the other remembers.
After Temelum, always
there were many trips that to make.
It never knew that it would wait for to me if
recibimiento or the edge of an axe.
What can offer to him to one
it handcuffs a man like I?
Guarantee of which she will be widow.
But since I saw that girl.
You feel your heart to bark very hard and
pain in the bones, lack of breath.
Is you or I?
Now when you see the dances in time
of lujuria, you feel repentance.
When you hear to a beautiful one
woman to play
you feel neglect, not to please.
That you are again.
I have been in the Court all my life.
I know that I will pass the rest of my life here.
If you stay in front of the twig
This it is my home, this is my family.
You are everything what
he could hope of a father,
I also have a brother.
But I need something more.
You feel single. You have been
exiliado of your country
it is too much to support to be exiliado
of your own heart also.
I will see what I can do.
The only benefit that comes with
the age is to feel frees of desire.
Of the Khan like father of its people
still it is hoped to have a new one
youngster in its bed every night.
I envied it during years.
Now I think that it must be one of
the heaviest loads of a reign.
That is she.
- Surely?
- Yes.
- Has been favored by the Khan?
- This is special, as it sees.
Kensai, sees here.
It raises the head. Date the return.
Again for here.
- Perfection. Does not create?
- Its beauty is a tribute to you. Congratulations.
Thanks.
I am keeping it for when
the Khan has a great craving.
Or for a special occasion.
Like a military victory.
By all means that seems that
every time we have less of those.
I have heard that the doctors say that
it never will return more to the combat.
- Its health.
- Without doubts, it is only a rumor.
But
The princes are preparing themselves
in order to fight by the succession.
All we will need allies
in the days that are approached.
Marco Polo will be a good one
man to have of your side.
In the last 15 years I have been
traveling to serve the Khan.
I know it. For several years
two girls were robbed
of a Clan, one was given
for the favors of the Khan,
and the other was sent a
The House of the Women.
You are the sister of Temulum.
- By all means.
- My sister told me on you.
Before Temulum died
it requested to me that looked for to you,
in order to assure that you had a protector.
But I did not know what
he referred at that time.
I worried about buscarte
but it was too much behind schedule.
I was upset.
So that she looked for
an exit to escape?
At another moment.
It never loved to me, I I know it.
But never you dealed with
to force it. Your you let it be
what was.
It stayed to your
side until you were yourself.
- That is not always so easy.
- No
All these years in
the house of the women,
I dreamed that a day the doors would be opened.
And now this.
You.
Your destiny and mine
they seem to be very united.
- You do not create it?
- Yes.
- She is the sister of Temulum.
- I know It, I want to make it my wife.
You request permission to Him stops
to marry you to your slave?
It is not as well as I see you, you know it.
And by the form in which you speak to me,
nobody would imagine that you call master to me.
- And what we are then?
- Friends.
And when he marries to me with her, brothers.
You were enamored with Kensai or
of the memory of its Temulum sister?
Not even you know you yourself to it?
I am a writer of romances, you remember.
It is a question that whatever it reads
history is going away to ask.
Then it leaves imagine it.
This sister or the other,
which of the two was?
Temulum never gave me
what I needed
not everything what needed.
And I knew, with first
watched that Kensai if it could.
- You are safe of that?
- I know my feelings.
I watched myself at my same one in the eyes,
I watched in the eyes of the world.
No, no, not no man
he is so wise to know
after which it happened.
Yes, yes, I loved Kensai
by the form in which she
it remembered Temulum to me.
It smiled of a way
that it forced to say something to you.
But it loved it reason why
it was, loved it reason why it was,
- You married with her?
- It had done It.
But for one
death that took place very far.
Its brother, the Khan of
the Persians, send greetings
to the Khan of the Khanes, and
its loyalty swears again.
With pain it reports that his
adored wife to dead.
A princess of its Clan.
By far pain sends to me
up to here to bring these words to him.
And to request highest
favors that can grant to him
to him or any other man.
- Marco. Marco Polo? He does 15
years you were ill in Persia.
I was your doctor.
Then your father said
the truth about
wealth of China. And your
you survived the desert
in order to see it with your own eyes.
Now you are an important man here.
A humble servant. And you
he also walks by the world.
I am one of the idiots
that it accompanies the ambassador
That is everything. It is here for choosing
a new wife for our Khan.
Her last wife died wishing
that his replacement was mongolesa.
And what you are now?
Veneciano, mongol, Chinese?
- A little each thing.
- Ah, the best thing of each one.
That I hope.
And Kublai? The Khan de Khans?
The envoy of the Sky. How is?
Hard like stops
to govern other twenty years?
I suppose that you know that I am very ready
as not to respond that question.
I prefer to maintain my head in my
shoulders instead of the end of a lance.
A gift of the Persian. An opportunity
to approach the Khan de Persia more.
That is not what I create.
I believe that our dear brother
Khan is trying to lower to us
the guard while he prepares
something against us.
Recuerdas how it was
disputed my succession?
How I had to fight by
throne, being even the chosen one.
The Khan is wise like stops
to look for enemies everywhere.
Even between that you
they profess greater loyalty.
Specially in those.
Our borders are under threat
and you had to take the field
twice the last year stops
to end internal rebellions.
I did not learn the lesson of those
that they said me that killed all.
To devastate all China and
to destroy its cities.
To turn them grass stops
our ponies mongoles.
That is too much behind schedule for now.
We say that when the map
he unrolls himself, the dagger reveals itself.
It means that the real danger is accustomed to
to hide in a suit of good intentions
such as this request. It seems
so flattering in its surface.
The great Khan will take
its decision on this.
But to get upset the Khan
Persian rejecting it
or to please it and to obtain that
he is, the one that lowers the guard.
Not we.
That.
- No
- It chose it.
NonKensai, no.
- What means no?
- INo!
It is an honor. The plus
great that can give you.
- I do not want.
- Aha, and you think that you have option?
I will go with the Khan, I him
I will explain what it means
for my.
- It is significant for whom
the Khan wants to give it.
- But she said: 01060004010409080001010904Not0106000401040908000101650009.
How could? Ella
she does not have voice in this.
What you will do here with quedarte?
To be wife of a man
that it will not survive
the fight by the throne.
There you will be a princess.
The princess that I have done of you.
Now it is a state subject,
the Ambassador already has chosen.
To deny to him, would be to insult to his
master, to whom we needed to maintain
like ally with us.
- Crees that concerns something to me of that?
It must importarte, you must to your Khan.
- I also must this to Him?
- Now it is when you will prove your loyalty.
- And to me it does not touch anything to me.
- You wanted to be able, this is the price.
I do not want the power, no
he is why I came here.
But you remained in the cut
and you followed the rules of the Khan.
- IYo never I requested it!
- IPero you took it!
If you did not want it, you had
haberte put the tail between
the legs, like your father, and marcharte.
I will go with the Empress,
I will go with the Empress, she
it will speak by me.
She will die soon. There are things
that they worry it more than your
loving subjects.
- But she will understand.
She understands that the empire no
she will survive much more that she
or Kublai.
Ghengis is glorious because
it conquered the kingdom by which it fought.
The tragedy of Kublai is that
empress ages very fast
next to him.
You are going away to render.
Otherwise I will say to him to the Khan and to
Empress that you conspire against them.
And you know the punishment
for that reason. Be truth or no.
You will make another trip. The plus
great that never you have done.
Plenty of dangers and discoveries.
You will survive it but
- But
- Your heart no.
- What you mean?
- Only I can decirte that this last trip
he will be so dangerous that it will be
like mounting to a dragoon.
Preprate to climb until its back.
What is doing?
- IVenecia!
- This is not of your incumbencia.
Marco.
This is not the route.
That I decide.
And what election you are going to give to me me?
To have left I and to be punished in your place?
Or you glide to take to me with you
to be captured
when they capture to you you?
I know China more than nobody.
I will find my I walk to Venice.
It tell me that you do not glide to do it
by the front door
nobody has been able not even you.
The Khan is dying,
the Empress is dying.
- You know the enemies who I have
- Crees that I need to hear that?
When they took to the Ghengis his
it falls down, they made incline
to all those that found
throughout the way.
Then and that we do?
To have left and to hope we
knife in the back?
You are the master, I the slave,
so that to ask to me me?
And how it thinks to release it
of the House of the Women?
I sent to somebody so that him
say that she is ready to go to us.
And is going to fight to win,
using only its hands,
as a hero of operates it?
- That is the woman who I love and
it loves to me me.
And that are sufficient stops
to risk its life fleeing with you?
- Yes.
- She said it?
I know it.
I have my planes.
Astrology? I thought that Marco Polo
it only believed in things that could see.
This went on a my last trip.
Ah, the magic copied of
histories that the Arabs count.
It cannot be of that form,
Marco, you cannot irte by
the door llevndotela to her.
But it is your destiny,
no faith will be able to prevent
that you you take it where your you wish.
There are deserts, mountains, tribes
violent, diseases, everything
type of dangers between
these earth and Persia.
This young person almost dies in his
way towards here, crossing
the top of the world. I
I treated it personally.
Our embassy lost
half of our men in
way here, the Ambassador
it almost dies coming for here.
His Majesty, is a trip class
that he will take month after month, is
horrible route. And it does not matter
how beautiful she is the woman, when
start off brief
Yes, it is right. Everything what is
around China: Tibet, Afghanistan
Before if it wants to arrive at Persia.
Wars, diseases, bandits
oh, she must go by the sea.
Bordering the Islands of
Spice, soon India,
I will show to him my Persian brother
my tender preoccupation by him.
I need each ammunition that
I have for the invasion to Japan.
Which will happen.
As soon as
it floats naval is ready
and the winds are the suitable ones
I can ask? Who made east map?
This? Pole.
He is one of yours, is not thus?
- That I create.
- You accompanied the princess
of return to Persia.
- Thanks.
- Your you follow
You made your part. No
he is safe that you know but.
It takes everything what I have,
escndelo carefully.
All the jewels, express.
A stone in each
pocket. Ja-ja-ja.
Pedro.
He is perfect.
Venice, eh.
Perhaps you have given the gift me to see
that there is behind the next mountain.
Which is your plan?
So that that slave yours
so it is occupied in your name?
Is confirmed that
I will have to accompany
to princess Kensai to Persia?
No trip has been used
in order to see those maps.
A man must be ready
for any thing that
him depare the destiny in its way.
Also I heard that you are enough
interested in the astrology.
Your intentions seem include something more.
My bones can that are
old but my ears and my eyes
they are as acute as ever.
I can be benevolent
in first instance
but I am not going to allow the treason.
I assume that you will discover it,
your you were the one who
I teach myself to survive in
the cut after all.
You said to me once: 01060004010409080001010904You never, never
you never trust me ".
He is something that you cannot deny.
- Perhaps I did not teach to you
sufficiently well.
Or perhaps you I teach too much, eh?
How is that? Is everything very bitter?
Esccheme, if he poisoned it,
it was fulfilling my orders.
It does not speak of treason, does not interfere.
I love it, this is my opportunity
to release it to her and me.
- Sometimes it teaches those modales to you.
No, no, I have had the best teacher
it has been my ambition that has done it
Quickly, quickly.
Express, the Ambassador hopes.
With care.
Kensai. They see sentarte here.
Ponte this.
Now you are a princess.
The princess of the red suit.
It was enchanted, very enchanted.
- I am going towards my death.
- You do not say that.
- These sending to Me to die.
- No
I know the customs
the cuts. If he finds little to me
attractive, it will lock up to me by always.
If she favors to me, the other spouses will see
in me a rival and will try to kill to me.
Little attractive, you? Later
of everything what I did by you.
How you can say that?
When childbirth of here?
As soon as Pole has
all ready one for the trip.
The plans have changed.
You will go to your destiny by sea.
Now you are in serious danger
because you are going to lose my protection.
I have saved your life often.
It tries to survive,
it tries to maintain your
head on your neck.
Not by your good but by the one of him.
The aim of this empire will be
guidance by a single man.
Perhaps perhaps no.
But
it is your to have to help it to try it.
Your to have.
It remembers, he does not have to go
to the war against
of the Earth of the Rising Sun again.
Acons jalo when it is at the moment.
It thinks that conquering them
it will complete its Earth mission.
But he very will be tired and weak.
And betrayed.
His Majesty can trust
that Pole will return and will not flee
to the West with the secrets
of the empire, but it thinks about
Khan de Persia, Majesty.
- I have thought about that.
You are the Khan of the Khanes
and he can do what pleases to him,
but thinks that it has sense
a gift so appraised in
hands of a Barbarian?
- He is a Barbarian, that is so certain
as it is certain that it has served a to him
all China and not walking to hurtadillas
by all the cut gathering rumors
like a old one, somebody
that I know.
Your Excellence, you are right
when showing its fury, as well as by
to have it in its heart.
But it demonstrates that his
brother Khan will not take it like
an insult, then we will know that
the Barbarian is good really.
IOh, gentleman, we brought the terrible news!
The Empress.
When Genghis, its grandfathers, died
all the slaves who
they constructed his tomb and all
guards who protected it
they were assassinated,
in order to maintain the whereabouts privily
of its site of final rest.
Who knows what Kublai will do
in its pain by its wife.
It is a trap, a boat yours,
to India, and of there to where?
To Venice? My secrets with you, my people.
When Ghengis lost to his
grandson, to my brother,
in the sea Jarbamia, it destroyed
the city, but first, he killed
all living being in her. To each
man, woman and boy, each cat,
dog and bird, each rat, all
that it breathed, eliminated, ieliminado!
Thus it is like us, mongoles
we took care of what we have, thus is like
we protect what is ours.
- Is not thus, Chu?
- Thus it is, Majesty.
You hate to me, is not certain? Of
that form you want to betray to me?
- So that masters more to Venice?
- Almost nonmemory nothing on Venice.
That is an answer?
I cannot trust my own
brothers, my own children.
How could trust you?
I will not betray to you,
I will return with my Khan.
Words. You have always been
very good with the words
for that reason it was very valuable for me.
The right of perpetual ownership by my honor.
IHonor! What is the honor?
A spy, an agent of
The west, a veneciano thief.
How I can know what is, who is?
You cannot, Excellence.
Perhaps it was an error to think that
you could. An error
that I also committed.
Who knows that lies it has
in the heart of a close friend
of the King? And if he is a traitor
with a different skin?
Then that true loyalty,
it is lie after all.
But I know this man.
I know what lies in its heart.
If he betrays it,
it can cut my head.
Grass of the steppe of Mongolia,
it remembers to me from where we came,
and that we were the best ones
soldiers who the world has seen.
I would have to be ashamed
to be dying in one
bed and not in a battlefield.
And now it seems that the destiny
it is being encrudeciendo,
but I continue being a soldier mongol.
But I continue constructing boats,
reuniting troops to fight
against Japan.
This time I will not surrender,
this time I will make them surrender.
Since Ghengis had done.
But the Empress wanted
I know what the Empress wanted,
but I will do everything to my way now.
It sees here, I say, sees to you there,
it finds out if those places exist.
The stories of the travellers are truth.
You were my eyes and was my heart.
But already it is done, I
I will not change of opinion.
The orders have been issued.
For when you return of this mission,
I also must be owner of those islands.
Your it happens of security for your trip.
And for your return.
It is hour.
You do not say anything, I do not need thanks.
The character of revancha can
to be expressed by facts, falling
like the snow, the winter is very
length and the rules snow and snow
and they snow. I am an old man,
nobody will think about stabbing to me and
if they did it, already I
I lived my better days.
But you, you do not have to return
here. You understand to me?
- I gave my word him.
- Marco.
- I promised it.
- But you will not be able to maintain your word
with the two.
To whom really you want to him
to fulfill: To the Empress or?
It is not here
It chooses your time and your place.
But you do your election before
of which he does hers.
My better desires. I hope
that there are not disadvantages.
I was sure that this
he would be the best one of my trips.
I was prepared stops
the surprises of the ocean.
After diseases, days
of storms and calm, thus,
day after day, week after
week, I was prepared
until for the dangers of inside.
But when the true test
it arrived, arrived from the most violent way.
IPiratas!
IY there!
In order to take the only way
surely it was necessary to take the boat
by the Straits, from a side to another one.
He was dangerous and I was the one that
he had to make the decision.
And there was only one decision
correct that to take.
- To save the life of the girl.
- Yes.
To avoid that they capture it,
yes? Is thus, no?
That is what a novel writer
sales look for in a history.
Forgetting to us the insults, that
they will make me commit some lies
but was by her or no?
Yes. Every day of the trip, each step
that we did, approached each to us
time more to Persia.
And you were betraying it a
she or you were betraying your
word to the Khan?
That did not matter then,
what mattered was to maintain to us
all with life.
This time there was no time
in order to admire the wonders.
I had to guide
men, to protect them of the danger and
the food was finishing.
We could not watch back, no
there was another option, therefore it guided them.
This is all the food
that I could bring of the boat.
We must have fought
with the pirates in the sea,
but you want that all we die here.
I explored these coasts in
one of my first trips,
we can go to the North to Siam.
- And after that?
We can arrive at
India through Birma
and of there to Persia.
Hay some other reason by which
you have taken to us near the pirates?
IPiratas!
It runs, runs.
Marco.
It would have matarte by this. We have
a pending fight between us.
We cannot return now to the coast.
Gather everything, we are going to advance.
Standing up, standing up.
There was no fight that was carried out
that it could control my
wrath and my disease also.
I come from the Great Khan,
we are its defenders and no
we want to cause you wrath.
- What Khan is that?
- The grandson of Ghengis,
Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan is dead.
You did not know this, and
nevertheless they want to become
to happen through its crew members.
We have been traveling by more of
a year. Are safe you of that?
Yes. Kublai Khan does not exist already.
Kublai Khan is dead.
This cannot be possible,
but it was truth.
I never knew if they went to me
to flatter gold currencies
or they would punish to me with
the leaf of an axe.
During all these years never
each morning knew if it would live
in order to see the night.
The era my jailer
but it also was my friend.
They said to me that he lost
the head after his
it floats was attacked and destroyed
while it tried to arrive
The Country of the Rising Sun.
- So it returned it to try.
- And it suffered a new defeat.
One of the greater ones in
history of the men,
he lost all his fleet and
thousands of its better soldiers.
After that, nobody
insignificant prince could
to risk to fight with him.
I have heard that is a new one
Khan now, his son, I fear.
But nobody knows with certainty,
nobody is able to define when
it is necessary to show loyalty
and when there is to lie.
These are days of insecurity,
it is not good weather to be
on the way.
And to be foreign.
We will be here only
days until we recover
forces, later we will go away to Persia.
Persia? There are the news that by
there the things are not either well.
It does not matter. It is our task
and later we will return to China.
All we.
Pedro, jalo to go.
There are the news of Persia.
The Persian Khan is dead.
The man with whom you
you were going to marry, is dead.
- You are free.
- Free?
The promise that I made return was
to Kublai personally, like my Khan.
He is dead. I am free of that.
- If you never come with me you return.
- I know It. I will follow to you.
Treason, Marco.
You and I swore a to him
Kublai, he is dead.
Nobody will cry its death more than I,
but I am free from now on.
- I swore to take to the princess to Persia.
- The Persian Khan is dead also.
Then I will take it of return a
China and to you also or your head.
Crees that I will sell you to
girl by a handful of jewels?
She is not yours stops
that you are selling it.
Ildiotas!
Marco, takes.
We go.
Princess Kensai, ila princess!
His master is dead, now
he will not need her.
It will be taken to another one
prince of the Real House.
It is the order of the new Khan.
It is being sent like
sample of friendship to the Persian cut.
My orders are to take it there.
Then it must kill to me.
If as much they wish it.
Hold, Kensai.
Kensai, Kensai.
Stop it.
Could she be happy with me
in Venice, between so many Barbarians?
Or its soul would become ill
and our love would die?
Only that that they take it
to Persia and that all the doors
they are closed after her.
I never knew of its destiny.
It began for the first time
a trip that would not give anything me
nor it wanted to do nothing.
Venice, Italy.
It is a city constructed on marshes.
That intelligent.
After as much traveling,
I return to house.
- Your curiosity is satisfied?
- Never.
It did not have to do nothing
of this without your loyalty.
It is a small price, loyalty,
by a full life of things
that I could know.
The church is open to request.
- Is this the house of Pole?
- Yes.
My father, still is alive?
A man of the East, with
a devil like crew member.
What you want?
- Marco.
- Je, je.
My son. My son.
All these years in the cut,
serving the richest man as the world.
It would have darte pain that
you did not find the form of
to remove benefit. Also your father did.
In its name.
This bond more than any currency.
Pothooks, that is everything.
That is the end of my trips.
- Sometimes you returned to China?
- No
- Volver01060401650003s sometimes?
I am a rich man now.
Merchandise about which never I dreamed.
A rich man has
its obligations such
like being kidnapped
- Not if we left here.
- If it is that we left here.
- No, I am not going to return,
twice I found the woman whom she looked for
And twice I lost it.
I am not so rich, all
that I have is pen and touches.
You maintain the treatment if. Eme its annotations,
jeme to see its maps, deme to write
my book, our book, its book.
You think that somebody wants to read it?
Nobody knows, monsters
and flying horses,
men with so great feet that they can
to do shade to him to the sun.
- A history that never I listened.
This needs this.
- They are not histories, is the truth.
They serve to prove
that they were mistaken
all those that called
to my mentiroso father
And to see the world like something wonderful.
The book of Marco Polo never was printed
in the last 800 years.
In him their trips are described
to traverse Russia, Iran, China,
Korea, Syria, Turkey,
Bulgaria, Vietnam, Cambodia,
Thailand, Sumatra, Sri
Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
India and many other countries.
It inspired to generations of travellers
so that they left Europe
and they explored the world.
A copy of him was
used by Cristopher Columbus
in its trip to the America
Pedro became
a very rich retailer.
It died in the 1323.
