1
00:02:02,363 --> 00:02:05,048
Your target this time does not have a name,

2
00:02:05,658 --> 00:02:09,930
but you will recognize him when you see his sword.

3
00:02:10,925 --> 00:02:12,789
Do assassins feel love too?

4
00:02:14,865 --> 00:02:16,016
You’re wrong.

5
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,351
No death, no rest.

6
00:02:21,796 --> 00:02:23,796
An assassin walks a path of no repose...

7
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:29,754
...until they meet their inevitable doom.

8
00:02:32,014 --> 00:02:37,710
Episode 2: The Long Road

9
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,374
Are you forcing me to kill myself?

10
00:02:52,284 --> 00:02:56,173
You’ve been trained to follow orders since you were born.

11
00:02:57,429 --> 00:02:59,566
You’ve never fought for yourself.

12
00:03:00,292 --> 00:03:02,429
You never even considered doing so.

13
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,710
Fight for myself?

14
00:03:17,803 --> 00:03:19,803
You don’t understand...

15
00:03:23,449 --> 00:03:25,449
...what you’re up against.

16
00:03:26,587 --> 00:03:28,450
A life for a life.

17
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:33,586
Let’s trade my life for yours.

18
00:03:34,450 --> 00:03:35,684
For him?

19
00:03:36,185 --> 00:03:40,047
For him, for you, and for her.

20
00:03:40,697 --> 00:03:43,108
Fight for yourself for once.

21
00:03:43,108 --> 00:03:44,462
No death, no rest.

22
00:03:46,359 --> 00:03:47,836
Are you willing?

23
00:04:03,339 --> 00:04:05,339
This is my last request.

24
00:04:06,009 --> 00:04:07,214
Promise me.

25
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:45,902
What’s your father’s name?

26
00:04:46,724 --> 00:04:48,231
He was my master.

27
00:04:48,779 --> 00:04:50,478
He didn’t have a name.

28
00:04:51,114 --> 00:04:52,950
I always called him “Master”.

29
00:04:53,969 --> 00:04:56,626
Your master’s sword is very unusual.

30
00:04:58,239 --> 00:05:01,584
Master said that although all swords are deadly weapons,

31
00:05:01,584 --> 00:05:03,584
every sword is different.

32
00:05:04,122 --> 00:05:06,807
There are swords that don’t kill people.

33
00:05:09,022 --> 00:05:10,666
Swords that don’t kill?

34
00:05:11,625 --> 00:05:15,377
Master said there are many beautiful things in the world

35
00:05:16,187 --> 00:05:18,187
that are worth protecting with a sword.

36
00:05:21,646 --> 00:05:24,248
Have you decided on a name for her?

37
00:05:25,407 --> 00:05:26,859
Not yet.

38
00:05:27,693 --> 00:05:31,746
I’m not even sure if she should be born into this world.

39
00:05:33,526 --> 00:05:35,362
My name is Lu (road/path).

40
00:05:35,362 --> 00:05:37,362
I think it’s too plain,

41
00:05:37,362 --> 00:05:39,555
but Master said it’s a great name.

42
00:05:40,226 --> 00:05:43,132
He said that life is a long road.

43
00:05:43,488 --> 00:05:45,488
Everybody’s road is different.

44
00:05:46,014 --> 00:05:49,958
Some walk in the desert, and the scenery never changes.

45
00:05:51,658 --> 00:05:56,478
Some travel day and night, appreciating the sunrise and the sea of stars.

46
00:05:57,654 --> 00:06:02,392
Master said that a name is the best blessing that parents bestow upon their children.

47
00:06:38,769 --> 00:06:39,920
Why?

48
00:06:40,711 --> 00:06:44,135
As an assassin, you should know why.

49
00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:46,479
I have accomplished my mission.

50
00:06:48,471 --> 00:06:53,154
So it’s time to begin your next mission.

51
00:06:53,281 --> 00:06:55,281
My next mission?

52
00:06:56,459 --> 00:06:59,089
I don’t have a choice, do I?

53
00:07:00,164 --> 00:07:02,411
You were born to do missions.

54
00:07:02,699 --> 00:07:06,917
You won't be done with them until you die.

55
00:07:09,565 --> 00:07:12,140
No death, no rest.

56
00:07:13,232 --> 00:07:14,383
Exactly.

57
00:07:27,961 --> 00:07:32,781
You will not escape from the impenetrable Net Trap!

58
00:07:35,863 --> 00:07:37,315
Attack her together!

59
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:24,099
Life is beautiful, isn’t it?

60
00:11:09,745 --> 00:11:12,793
My daughter was born safely, Master.

61
00:11:16,169 --> 00:11:18,169
Her name is...

62
00:11:18,543 --> 00:11:20,000
...Yan,

63
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,699
as in shiyan (oath).

64
00:12:21,055 --> 00:12:25,848
You may be gone, but your sword mustn’t be.

65
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:47,012
Don’t come any closer.

66
00:12:51,827 --> 00:12:53,827
Don’t come any closer.

67
00:13:26,255 --> 00:13:31,240
Ying Zheng conquered the other six states and established the Qin Empire.

68
00:13:32,064 --> 00:13:35,132
“The six kings are no more; the world is united.”

69
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:39,918
“The width of carriages is standardized; weapons were confiscated and disposed of.”

70
00:13:39,918 --> 00:13:44,545
Now that I’ve conquered the other six states, there are no more borders

71
00:13:44,545 --> 00:13:47,064
or linguistic misunderstandings.

72
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:50,710
Only an empire such as this deserves to be called a paradise.

73
00:13:52,650 --> 00:13:55,964
The story of this symbol began a long time ago.

74
00:13:56,921 --> 00:14:00,153
It was formed long before any historical records were made.

75
00:14:01,616 --> 00:14:06,271
It has encountered countless opponents since it’s inception.

76
00:14:07,056 --> 00:14:10,124
One of those opponents is...

77
00:14:11,681 --> 00:14:14,667
"In a godforsaken world, ordinary people hustle and bustle."

78
00:14:15,003 --> 00:14:18,126
"The Hundred Schools of Thought exist, yet we manipulate them with great ease."

79
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,893
Ge Nie's betrayal was no accident.

80
00:14:31,669 --> 00:14:33,669
According to the intelligence I've gathered,

81
00:14:33,669 --> 00:14:37,579
every sign indicates that the rebels from the former six states

82
00:14:37,579 --> 00:14:40,920
are concocting a scheme to topple the Empire.

83
00:14:41,174 --> 00:14:43,653
To eliminate these kinds of underground forces,

84
00:14:43,653 --> 00:14:45,653
it’s best to fight fire with fire.

85
00:15:08,359 --> 00:15:12,292
Everyone writes their stories in chalk on the slate of this world; we write ours in ink.

86
00:15:12,292 --> 00:15:16,251
The Mohist School never wages war because we believe in the doctrine of Universal Love.

87
00:15:18,442 --> 00:15:20,743
As expected, it was a complete victory,

88
00:15:21,522 --> 00:15:25,466
because the Mohist School’s old nemesis sided with the Empire.

89
00:15:26,937 --> 00:15:28,909
Every leader of the Mohist School

90
00:15:28,909 --> 00:15:32,305
had been killed by the Yin-Yang School’s “Fearsome Curse of the Six Souls”.

91
00:15:33,122 --> 00:15:34,958
That was their destiny,

92
00:15:42,202 --> 00:15:47,515
and the leader that succeeded Yan Dan was no exception.

93
00:15:49,543 --> 00:15:53,241
“The Five Elements circulate, and the one true path is revealed.”

94
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:06,223
The Daoist School...

95
00:16:15,167 --> 00:16:21,466
Both factions of the Daoist School fell prey to Net Trap.

96
00:16:30,491 --> 00:16:35,119
Even the Empire, who considered the world their chess board,

97
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:37,776
was merely another piece in the game.

98
00:16:53,836 --> 00:16:56,072
Who among the Hundred Schools of Thought

99
00:16:56,072 --> 00:16:58,565
could possibly escape from this net?

100
00:17:02,198 --> 00:17:06,000
For the Peasant School, the largest of the Hundred Schools of Thought,

101
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,179
there was no way to avoid getting caught.

102
00:17:34,871 --> 00:17:38,733
Now they’ve begun drawing in the net.
