Back to the Past (2025) Movie Script
In 1999.
I, Hong Siu Lung...
traveled 2,000 years to the past
using a time machine
to witness the Qin Emperor's ascension to the throne.
However
Ying Zheng, the real king, was long dead.
To return to my time,
I risked my life
to train a young man named Chiu Poon to pose as the king.
After eliminating rivals Lui But-wai and Chiu Muk,
Poon went from a naive young man
to the cruel and tyrannical Qin Emperor.
Henceforth...
I shall ensure ihe Qin rule this land
for all eternity and beyond!
After he became king
the trust between us began to change.
I knew that
staying by Poon's side
would eventually get me killed
So I fled the capital with my family
and went into seclusion.
Daddy..
What's up?
I want a new name.
New name? What's wrong with Bowie?
I want to be like an eagle.
soaring freely in the sky.
I want to be narnedeYu ("Wings")
Hong Yu?
The usurper warlord?!
Freeze, all of you.
Get down.
Miss me, Dr. Wu?
I'm fresh out of prison
and I'm here to see you.
You, too, Mr. Lee.
The time machine..
It's been a long time.
We felt bad about what happened.
We've wanted to make amends.
Amends for what?
My money?
y reputation?
My life?
I invented that time machine
should've been the first to-travel time.
Because of a terracotta warrior,
you chose Hong Siu Lung
and got me wrongly imprisoned for 20 years.
I'm taking back everything
You wanied to seize the time machine
and change history.
I hadl no choice but to stop you.
History cannot be changed by anyone.
If you haven't tried it.
How do you know it can't be done?
Activate the time machine.
Ken
Think this through.
Without the signal receiver, you won't make it back.
Galie
Get the receiver.
I got it, Dad.
Join your uncle on the platform.
Ken
This will have huge consequences.
That's my intention.
I will replace the Qin Emperor
and become the first king in history!
"To whomever we worship
"History has only heed fate's commands"
"Fate"
"Who can twist the course of fate?"
"With or without whom"
"Even in chaos, the course is set"
"Who is rewriting the plot?"
"Don't rejoice just yet"
"Just because you are called a dynasty's founder"
Dad!
Let's stop.
We all need a break
All ofyou suck.
Fine, take five.
Crap, I'm vomiting stomach acid.
You used to be a general.
Where's your stamina?
can't compare to you.
Your stamina hasn't declined one bit all these years.
Of course.
Keep resting, you dud.
I'll keep playing.
Swap!
Bowie, join my team.
Absolutely!
Over here!
Wow!
Bowie!
Yes!
Yay!
Crap, my bun fell off.
Give it up, Dad, it's really ugly.
Think I like it? Your mother made me wear it.
It looks like a steamed bun!
Here, eat it.
Dig in.
Hey.
You guys carry on, I need a break.
What's up? Grand Tutor Hong, it's been a long time.
Not that long.
You beat the fifth kingdom quickly.
It was hardly quick, my friend.
Qi comes after Yan.
The sixth and final kingdom.
Indeed.
You always had such great foresight.
Do you have any wisdom for taking the Qi state?
the
Quit kissing my ass.
Kissing ass? What does that mean?
It means you're very polite.
Thank you,
I can be quite the ass-kisser.
Un-huh...
Let me catch my breath.
Four words:
Victory without a fight.
Victory without a fight?
Bowie!
Ball.
Wow!
That's a victory without a fight.
It's usable now.
But when they invent offside, it'll be a foul.
If we can take the Qi state so easily..
His Majesty will soon look for another target.
Tell him to stop and take a breather, man.
He only listens to you.
You told hirn not to obsess about living to 100.
So he asked the physician to develop an immortality elixir.
For crying out loud...
Tell him to stop.
That kind of technology doesn't exist in this era.
The fact is...
His Majesty still misses you.
He speaks of your often.
How many people has he harmed recently?
Tell him to eat more vegetables.
Accurulate good karma.
You care a great deal, too.
After taking the final kingdom..
We will not meet again.
Stay safe.
"Take care.
Cake what?
Hong Siu Lung!
Crap, I forgot to buy rice.
Bowie, Yik,
we gotta go!
"Good luck!"
Cluck?
Your Majesty, Chancellor Li has received news of your victory.
He awaits Your Majesty at Hangu Pass.
Just like Grand Tutor Hong's brilliant prediction.
Our forces achieved victory without a fight.
Of course...
Your Majesty's wisdom led the way.
Without it,
even Grand Tutor's best laid schemes would be feckless.
Hong Siu lung...
have conquered all six kingdoms.
I need your assistance no longer:
Lemon tea!
Mother...
Let's eat!
Digging in!
You're definitely hiding money.
asked for a bucket of rice, you only bought half.
Qin Emperor has united all six states.
He'll come after us next.
It's not safe here.
We have to move.
Eat up.
Protect the king!
Your Majesty, we have never seen these weaponry
Please retreat to the capital at once!
Find Hong Siu Lung.
I've found him!
I've caught the Qin Emperor
Ken
Let me have a go.
Done, you can kill the king now.
A king would wear an armor like this?
Where's your king?
We have to movel - Anywhere but here!
He'll never find us!
You told us over and over.
The emperor is a fake, you installed him on the throne.
And once he takes all six kingdoms.
He'll kill us to protect his secret.
It cloesn't matter where we go and what we carry
What matters is the family sticking together
That's what home is.
I love you two.
Dad.
asked for one with the pattern.
This is white, where's the pattern?
Hong Siu Lung!
Who dares to say my full name?!
Yik.
Grab weapons from the kitchen.
Go back inside.
Go on...
Don't come out.
Get in there.
Tend to his wounds this instant!
Heed the imperial decree!
t in
Bring him over there.
Mother.
That man is the king?
Hold him down!
What is that object?
This is a bullet.
It's fired from a gun.
What did the attackers look like?
They wore odd clothing.
They rode high-speed weapons, legs off ine ground.
After several thunderous blasts.
My army suffered countless casualties.
Are they to do with your mysterious hometown?
My hometown's people
wouldn't harm you.
deem only you to be trustworthy.
Really?
If he's the only one you trust..
Grant Lung a death-exemption plate!
Insolence!
Who is being insolent here?
A disciple persecuting his teacher is insolence
Because of you, we have lived in fear for years.
Is that not enough?
Nobody move!
I'm sorry, Your Majesty!
Forgive me, Your Majesty!
So this is the Qin Emperor.
Blasphemous villain, how dare you! Stand down!
Don't you move.
Put your gun down.
Who are you?
How'd you get here?
Did Dr. Frankenstein.
I mean, did Dr. Wu send you here?
What's this? How outrageous!
You're outrageous!
What was that for, smariass?!
He was about to answerme!
Explain this to the king yourself.
deserve death, Your Majesty!
Who were these rebels?
All I know is that they are no ordinary folk.
But from whence they care and why they attacked.
-I have no idea.
Mercy, Your Majesty!
He had no other choice.
Did you have to kill him?
Why have you put on his clothes?
You are not cohorts.
Is that weapon.
That so-called "gun"?
What is that, Dad?
Is it more powerful than a blade?
I've never seen this model
We can't stay here. Let's go.
Protect the king! - Aye!
George
Do you copy?
Don't shoot the king!
Go back!
Follow me!
Find them!
Why does such secret passage exist?
I dug this in case you come to kill me!
Who knew I'd use it to save you?
Which asshole hid the secret switch?!
Bowie, look after your moms.
I'll see you at the fortress.
Be careful.
Brother, ride with the generals.
I must protect His Majesty!
I will be fine.
I have Grand Tutor Hong.
Let's go!
Swing it!
Push!
After them!
Lie down!
- Mo! General, steer!
Jump!
Your Majesty, are you all right?
Where's your driver's license?! Are you all right?
Where is Hong Siu Lung?
Your Majesty!
Dad, it's me!
Lung!
Yik,Fong, find Chancellor Li.
You two, go to the fortress.
Lights out!
I thought you'd never come.
Brother Hong.
Take them back to the fortress.
I'll find the king. Thank you!
Someone is there.
Hey!
Jon't fire, how do you know who's the
Let's split up.
Your Majesty.
It is me!
Keep a lookout.
You said earlier
your secret passage was to stop me.
You are my teacher.
Why would you be wary of me?
So you do know I'm your teacher.
I have a family.
How can I not be wary of you?
All these years...
Have you ever thought of killing me?
Yes.
But thinking and doing are different matters.
You've conquered all six kingdoms.
I've done all I needed to do.
You defy all my advice.
I told you there's no such thing as an immortality elixir
Be honest...
If I get you back to the palace safely.
Will you leave my family in peace?
It is your people who will not leave me in peace
Since ethey are here.
Does that mean
you have another chance of returning home?
Galie
Galie
That hurts!
That hurts!
You're heavy!
Give me a hand.
Just let go.
You asshole!
Take your sweet time.
What are you doing?
Do you kill for sport?
Is your arm hurt?
Sorry.
Why are you after him?
What's your purpose
for coming here?
The one who should be dead is you
Why didn't you come back?
You think I elidn't want to?
I'm desperate to go back!
You wouldn't get it.
Get up.
Brother Hong.
Good to see you unharmed.
Who is this?
Lock her up.
All right. Thank you.
Lung!
Are you all right? Dad.
Hong
you must love your dear disciple.
You spent years on this fortress and the secret passage.
Was it not
to stop this man?
Yet today, you let the snake in.
Look, pal.
Cut me some slack.
Everyone's watching.
I had no choice.
Help me out?
Insolence!
Why have you not kneeled in my presence?
Your Majesty..
My wife, Song, is a wornan of few words.
She only seeks to express her admiration.
In my presence..
You simple villagers dare to be so imprudent?
Back away.
This is no place
Your Majesty to flaunt your power.
Brazen scoundrel.
You dare to speak to me like this?
That's enough flaunting.
Stop making it worse.
Let me find you a safe place to rest.
Come on.
Hong Siu Lung!
What are you screaming for?
This is the safest place for you.
Bowie.
Keep an eye on him.
He's got lots of enemies here.
Watch your baick.
I will.
Dad...
I heard Stone said that
his and Song's familles
were killed in this king's war
or while working in forced labor.
Just do your job.
You're a grown-up now.
Is your name not Hong Yu?
Your nickname is Bowie?
You should be 20 years old now.
When I became your father's disciple...
I was younger than you.
This fortress kept us out of war for 20 years.
But,today...
You brought the warmonger here.
This is sangerous to your family.
And my disciples, too.
Fong and Ching may not dare to ask.
But I do.
How much longer
will you stay devoted to Chiu Poon?
I'mn responsible for what happened, too.
can't just abandon my disciple
For him..
You can sacrifice your friends and even your family?
You're all family to me.
won't sacrifice anyone.
I have trusted you for over 20 years.
I just want to remind you...
The closeness of people
can be hard to balance.
Everything requires hard choices.
Galie
Galie
Galie
Dan
Do you copy?
Where's the Qin Emperor?
This forest
is always misty.
A bearing is hard to get.
You will never find them!
Ken
No, I meant.
Boss...
Look...
I've got...
one man dead and one missing.
The king's gone, too.
What's your next move?
Don't worry.
I'll find the king.
Hong won't abandon his family.
Very well..
In that case...
Pass my two men's wages
over to me.
Brother-in-law...
Do you think Galie's been taken by Hong?
Hey!
What?
Eat something
Turn off.
What's this?
Turn on.
Voice activation?
Phones nowadays are voice activated.
And it recognizes onlymy voice.
When I say "Turn on...
Thank you!
The image can be blown up now?
And I can swipe with my fingers?
That's interesting!
Pineapple bun, egg tart, red bean drink...
They're delicious!
You miss Hong Kong?
Take it back, I'd hate to break it.
It doesn't break that easily.
Phones are made in China now.
A charge lasts a whole year.
Seriously? A whole year?
My old phone wasn't this advanced.
This is advanced?
You're such a caveman.
The one in my bag
is even better.
This one?
This...
This is my dad's greatest invention.
Is that the genie's lamp?
A motorbike?
It's not only a motorbike.
can tell right away it's a vacuum cleaner.
Wow!
It hovers.
What controls it?
The mind.
Drive with your mind.
I'm for real.
Mind-controlled flight?
Your dad's better than Einstein.
He was the head of R&D at Lee Siu-chiu's tech company.
He invented the time machine.
But Lee chose you as the first time traveler
But since you never came back,
someone had to take the fall
My dad was wrongly imprisoned.
I'm sorry that
your dad got dragged into this.
Why didn't you come back?
If you did, my dad wouldn't have gone to jail.
What's your endgame here anyway?
He wants to take the Qin Emperor's place.
Put this on.
What the devil is this?
It'll save your life.
I can't protect you all the time.
It is so thin. It hardly looks sturdy at all
Why must it be ethick? Feeling chilly?
it on, you've got lots of enem
I did not know the people's hatred of me runs so deep.
Did you know
how many families you've ruined?
Uniting the nation cannot come without a price
If any harm beialls me now...
It will only beget more wars
and more deaths.
I made you pose as Ying Zheng,
saying it was for the greater good.
But I also did it so I could go home.
The man you are today
was a monster I created.
Whenever you take a life..
I feel like I'm complicit.
You asked me in the cave
whether I long to go home...
I haven't about it for a while.
But if I can...
If I can really make it home..
That would be
a pretty good ending.
Put it on.
Don't make me worry about you.
Master...
I promise...
When this is over..
You will no longer need to fear your family's safety
These 20 years.
There is one thing I have yet to say to you.
Thank you.
Dad!
Dad, Uncle Yik is hurt!
Someone's been shot, can we heal him?
Let me see the wound.
The bullet went through, it's not in his body
This syringe increases his white blood cells and hemagglutinin.
This laser kills bacteria, eases inflammation
and heals his wound.
Turn him over.
Are you all right, Yik?
Sorry, brother.
Get some rest.
I'll find a way to find Fong.
Okay?
Thanks for saving my blood brother.
Good thing future tech is so advanced.
Technology...
When it's used well, it can save lives.
When it's abused, you get a time machine.
Aren't you and I victims of that time machine?
never felt I was a victim.
At least.
I did my best
to live a happy and meaningful life.
I can see that.
You and your wives, your son and your friends
seem really happy.
Galie -Your wife and---
Galie
Galie
Galie
Do you copy?
Hello?
Hong Siu Lung...
I have your wife.
And I have your daughter.
Let's swap.
My wife for your daughter.
No, I want two for one.
My daughter and the Qin Emperor.
Your daughter is all you can trade for.
choose the Qin Emperor.
Put my daughter on.
Dad.
Galie
Think of the greater good.
We'll get the king first.
Hong.
In 30 minutes,
meet us at the giant wooden cart.
If the man you bring isn't the Qin Emperor...
I'll kill her.
30 minutes it is.
I don't get what his greater good is.
He didn't want his own child.
I came here
to make up for our lost time.
But all he cares about is becoming king.
I know you have my jade pendant.
Hand it back.
Since I picked up
your jade pendant in the mausoleum..
It has stayed with me for 20 years.
Seeing it reminds me of you.
I'm right here.
Just look this way, hand me the pendant.
Thank you!
My receiver.
But it's out of battery
If your dad's receiver goes haywire..
Charge this and take them back.
Then you won't make it back.
You haven't answered me.
Will you
return to your hometown?
decided to stay because of you.
These past 20 years...
never regretted it.
The king is right here.
Where's Lung? Run.
Tail them.
Tim, this is the Qin Emperor.
With him in our hands..
We'll be able to enter the imperial palace.
It's filled with antiques!
But first things first...
How do we get the receiver to go back?
Figure that out..
We'll kill them all
We'll split the cash ourselves!
I would advise you
to reconsider prudently.
If you kill them
and they do not have the receiver...
Then you are marooned here.
What are you saying?
I have an excellent proposition.
As long as
you two return me to the palace,
I will hand you the receiver Hong Siu Lung left behind
You only seek money, why turn to slaughter?
What the hell?
Why did you hell me?
I'll help you, brother!
If you kill me,
you won't make eit home, either.
You can decide
whether to trust me.
Are you all right?
Steward To...
You'll survive!
-Bowie! Mom!
Ching!
Ken, we got a fake emperor!
Galie
re you all ri
Phil
I've found Gaile
She all right.
The Qin Emperor's in the ecage. Stand by
Copy.
Let's go.
For the greater good, you should find the king first.
Just let me know when you're ready to go home.
Gaile, success is within reach.
When I become king...
Whatever you want.
I'll make it up to you.
I don't need compensation.
Don't become king. People will die, and you'll pay for it.
Stop this mistake!
I don't have time to explain, come on!
Do not take one step outside!
Bowie!
Brother-in-law!
-
Let's go!
Your Majesty!
Bowie!
Ma'am! - Are you all right? Where are you hurt?
Your Majesty!
Dad, it's time to stop.
I want to go home.
You have the receiver, let's go back.
Go back?
What can we do?
I couldn't even see you for almost 20 years.
I can't make that up to you.
I don't need compensation!
I lost you for almost 20 years.
Getting you back is
the best compensation.
I don't get why you're desperate to be king.
When I become king...
It'll prove I was right, that history can be altered.
Dad.
Hong didn't go back because he had no choice.
Stop being hung up on the past.
We'll go back and turn a new leaf together..
While we still have a choice.
Medicine bag, hot water, needle and thread, now!
Steward To is hurt! Hang in there!
Hot water! Needle and thread!
Brother Hong
Protect our family
Steward To!
Miss.
I'm afraid I can no longer look after you.
I will see you all in the next life.
Steward To!
Blame yourself all you want.
But it will not
bring Steward To back.
Instead...
Figure out how to protect all of us.
The closeness of people
requires hard choices.
I will no longer sacrifice family
to save my disciple.
Go to Li Si alone.
My disciples...
are my family.
He laid down his life to save Bowie
for your sake.
You always say you do not wish to change history.
If those people replace the king...
What will happen to us?
Lung...
We are not out to help the king.
We are stopping someone from changing history.
If you give up now,
Steward To and everyone's sacrifice will have been in vain.
I'm sorry.
I'll send him back.
Let me avenge my master,
my godfather and my wife.
Congratulations.
You got your precious daughter back.
What are you doing
Shut your trap.
It's nothing...
I'd just like to know..
Where's the receiver that will take us home?
What for?
Not much
Just want to take a look.
Haven't I shown you before?
I can't look at it again?
Trying to o leave?
Our mission's not complete.
Your daughter's safe and sound.
But I lost two of my guys
and we haven't caught the Qin Emperor.
The scale seems tipped.
No more games.
Where's the receiver?
Shoot.
Then you'll never find the receiver.
By then...
You won't have any money.
No one will make it home.
I've killed the Qin Emperor.
When we reach the palace,
take as much treasure as you want.
Go home whenever you'd like.
So we have the Qin Emperor's face already!
Hong will find us soon.
We'll enter the palace first.
You stay here with Tim.
Kill Hong.
I'm going with you.
Stay here with Tim.
I'm going with you!
Then we don't have a deal.
I'll stay here with Tim.
You three enter the palace.
How about that?
Hong Siu Lung can't die.
Want some peanuts?
Thirsty? Want any water?
There's no map or compass.
We're screwed.
Beware of the sun along the way.
Godfather,
with your bland looks,
you really should not be so tanned.
I'm gonna 'hit your lung."
What?
You talk too damn much!
From here,
make your way northeast.
Go over two mountains and cross a river
You shall find Li Si at Hangu Pass.
- Pack up. All right.
Stone and I will take a shoricut.
You guys/take the main road to Li Si.
Bowie..
I'm leaving them in your hands.
Hop on.
am besieged on all sides.
My closest generals have perished.
Fortunately, two commoners rescued me
so I could reachHangu Pass.
Before Your Majesty's campaign against the Qi,
we had discussed how to
reward Hong Siu Lung and promote him
after our great victory.
How could he repay kindness with hostility?
He deserves death.
After my escape.
Hong and his band of traitors
certainly not give up.
You must stay vigilant, Chancellor Li.
Your Majesty
Chancellor...
Before the campaign on the Qi,
His Majesty never spoke of any promotion.
The rebels have such a powerful weapon?
How fortunate that you survived your ordeal.
Only because His Majesty spared me.
But these rebels are skilled in sorcery.
They can change their appearances to look like us.
Shall we expose them this very moment?
Exposing them now will only scare them off.
Then what shall we do?
Since His Majesty has found Grand Tutor Hong..
He will bring the real king back.
I have faith in Grand Tutor Hong.
Listen to yourself.
Spoken like a king!
You think you're king already?
You're really something.
Hop on.
Move it.
Godfather, shall we walk?
Help!
We're under attack.
I don't know if it's Hong.
Come back first.
Under His Majesty's decree..
Hong Siu Lung and his rebels are to be killed on sight.
What are you waiting for?
The truth cannot be faked.
The faked cannot be made real
Where is His Majesty?
Ching, Fong and Bowie are outside with the king.
Send protection.
I'll go deal with that knock-off.
Commadant Leung!
Sir!
Go forth and protect His Majesty!
Aye!
Brother-in-law, Hong has entered the pass.
He's flying to you now.
Guard!
Your Majesty!
Capture the assassin Hong Siu Lung
and his band of rebels
Kill on sight.
Aye!
The Qin Emperor's alive, he's on the way!
The emperor's not dead?
You said you'd killed him!
Doesn't matter now.
Kill the Qin Emperor!
This is your king, make way!
That minister sent a cavalry in!
I can't stop the Qin Emperor, Ken!
What?
We're unarmed.
If they come in, we're dead!
Soldiers, heed my command!
Aye!
Capture the rebels!
Ken.
Stop playing tricks with me.
Get your receiver ready right now!
Godfather, this is too shaky!
I must go.
Lucky I haven't had breakfast yet.
Galie
What you said at the fortress.
Is it true that Hong can guarantee your safety?
He promised
that he'd help us.
Besides, he has a receiver.
It's possible that he can
send us back before the king arrives.
His model is from nearly 20 years ago.
I don't know if it'll work.
Even if it does...
That model
only carries two people.
Go back with your uncle first.
The king is almost here.
Charge my receiver!
Sneak attack?
Charge it, hurry!
How? How should I know? Your model's 20 years olk
Your receiver only carries two people
Send my father and uncle back.
Give me that receiver!
How to charge?
The receiver has to be charged to send you back!
I don't care.
I don't want yours, I want that one!
And I'm leaving now!
Hand it over!
Charge it yourself.
You...
Charge this damn thing!
If I don't make it back.
You're all dead!
Don't try anything funny.
Tim, come help me.
Charge it.
How does it work?
Dad!
Try this charger.
His Majesty arrives!
Hide, I'll stall for time.
Leave it to me.
Stone, come here.
Keep an eye on this.
Detain the rebels!
Aye!
Close the door!
Without my order, none shall enter!
Your Majesty!
Let me handle this.
I'll send them back right away.
I will spare no mercy
for those who impersonate me!
Do you think Hong can convince the king to let us go?
Like hell he'll let us go.
I fired three shots at him.
Nothing Hong says will work.
The receiver's almost charged.
I'll buy us time.
If the receiver activates,
leave first.
Step aside!
I am the real emperor!
How dare you, rebel?!
Capture him!
You is impersonating me!
Capture him!
Galie
You didn't have to kill her!
Stop getting in my way!
When the pendant is charged, they'l be gone.
Hong SiuLung...
Do you think I would not dare to kill you?
- Dad! Don't move!
Dad...
For almost 20 years,
you suffered what you shouldn't have suffered.
If you can go back, live a proper life.
can't stay with you anymore.
If there is a next life
- I'd still choose to be your daughter. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
I'll grab the receiver.
No traitor shall leave!
All traitors must die.
am ordained by Heaven, I am irreplaceable!
By Heaven?
History tells me...
You've only got 10 years left to live.
Insolence!
Your rule...
Will end by Hong Yu's hands
Galie
I'mon my way to you.
Anyone who threatens my rule...
Shall die!
Hong Siu Lung!
You knew all along!
Listen...
I know you want me to stay away!
You've gone insane!
Hong Siu Lung!
Come on!
Do not do act rashly!
Let my family go!
You expect me to let your son destroy my empire?!
I'm leaving, no matter what.
All land under Heaven belong to me.
Where can you hide?
Tell your people to get me a boat!
Hong.
The boat is ready.
LetHis Majesty go.
Li Si, hold them back
Stop!
Get on the boat.
Let us go.
I promise
you'll never see me again.
Let you go?
Even to the ends of the world..
I shall pursue you.
You built a fortress, recruited rebels.
You knew my future
but hid it from me.
It's pointess to tell you.
What's bound to happen will happen!
Since that is so
You will stand idly by while your son destroys me?
Can't it just be someone with the same name?
Are you sure it's my son?
Millions of people are named Hong
Why don't you kill them all?
Anyone who hinders my ambitions
will not be spared!
This is my fate.
This isn't your fate!
You're sick.
History cannot be changed
vhai must happen will happen ev
Is it because of history
that you cannot kill me?
Yes.
But there's another reason.
Giddy up!
Feed him this bucket of droppings!
There's way more than 10 taels here.
Kill me if you must!
Why would I? I'm not you.
What makes him qualified?
Is he good enough to be my teacher?
I've got plenty of qualities.
Again?
Please take me as your disciple!
No one talked any sense into you.
That's why you're like this.
As your teacher, starting from now.
in addition to teaching kung fu.
I'll also teach you how to be a dlecent person, got it?
Master...
No one has ever said that to me before.
Only you care about me.
You fool, plenty of people care about you.
You'll be a success someday
I understand
Master, I have no one here.
You're all I have. Don't leave!
You're a grown man. I'm not your mother.
Stop following me everywhere. Be good.
Does Master not want to share the fruits of our labor?
What I want the most
is to go home with my wives.
We'll do a little farming
and live out our lives in peace.
Hong, I never want to see you again.
Be careful where you tread.
Once.
You told me.
I'm like family to you.
These 20 years...
I've thought of you as a son, too.
Will I ever see you again?
Keep this shattered pendant
by your side.
Let it be your memory of me.
I've known you for over 20 years.
This is...
As far as I can go with you.
Remember this.
Follow Heaven's will.
Take care.
Take care...
Master.
Your Majesty..
Archers are ready.
Give the command
and Hong Siu Lung will not escape.
Return to the palace.
My great undertakings await.
Start them all.
Your Majesty, the war just ended.
The nation needs to recover, I am afraid.
Time is running out.
To realize my dominance, sacrifices must be made.
And what of Hong Siu Lung?
Tell the historian.
I ordered him
to seek the immortality elixir.
I came to see him off today.
Aye.
About tonight's events...
Anyone who spreads a single rumor.
shall die!
About tonight's events...
Anyone who spreads a single rumor
shall die!
Aye!
Dad.
Will we ever come back?
(According to historical records, the Qin Emperor)
(dispatched an envoy in search of the immortality elixir)
(The envoy never returned)
Master, if you had returned home...
Would this have ended differently?
Every choice
creates a new universe.
Let me take you to another universe
to see another ending.
They're with me.
These are my wives
This is my son.
This is my disciple.
This is Li Si.
And this one...
He's the reason
you sent me back.
The Qin Emperor.
.1!1.
For your safety,
if you don't mind..
I have to give them all body checks.
It's okay.
Go with them.
Such magnificent fireballs!
have finally seen your hometown.
This is such an amazing place.
The immortality elixir must be everywhere
Can you help me...
I told you, the immortality elixir doesn't exist.
Why are you so bullheaded?
Don't lie to me, Master.
Are you that afraid of aging?
If that's the case,
I'll get you plastic surgery, okay?
Does that bring me immortality?
I'm joking.
It's been 20 years...
I've finallys seen your hometown.
What an amazing place.
But it's so bright at night.
How do you sleep?
Do you sleep with your eyes open?
This is my home
It's progressed so much
these past 20 years.
Let's take a seat.
Dig in.
Your Majesty...
In six hours,
if no harm comes to me...
Your Majesty can eat this.
Forget it.
is is bonafide iced lemon t
Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year!
Dig in.
Princess?
Princess Chiu?
I'm not Chiu Sin.
My name's Maggie.
That's right..
Maggie's our employee.
She said for as long as she can remember
she's always had
vivid memories of living in the Warring States era.
One day,
in the office, she saw you
Sorry.
mean, she saw terrcotta warriors like you.
Then everything made sense.
Because you traveled through time...
Anyone who met you,
who fell in love with you,
and died for you
must return with you
and correct the fates you changed.
ar
Are you for real?
That's the real deal.
Drink up.
Siu Lung...
Thank you for taking part in our experiment.
Thanks for your years of hard work.
I should be thanking you.
If it wasn't for you...
I wouldn't have such a great family.
Take care.
won't be coming back.
I, Hong Siu Lung...
traveled 2,000 years to the past
using a time machine
to witness the Qin Emperor's ascension to the throne.
However
Ying Zheng, the real king, was long dead.
To return to my time,
I risked my life
to train a young man named Chiu Poon to pose as the king.
After eliminating rivals Lui But-wai and Chiu Muk,
Poon went from a naive young man
to the cruel and tyrannical Qin Emperor.
Henceforth...
I shall ensure ihe Qin rule this land
for all eternity and beyond!
After he became king
the trust between us began to change.
I knew that
staying by Poon's side
would eventually get me killed
So I fled the capital with my family
and went into seclusion.
Daddy..
What's up?
I want a new name.
New name? What's wrong with Bowie?
I want to be like an eagle.
soaring freely in the sky.
I want to be narnedeYu ("Wings")
Hong Yu?
The usurper warlord?!
Freeze, all of you.
Get down.
Miss me, Dr. Wu?
I'm fresh out of prison
and I'm here to see you.
You, too, Mr. Lee.
The time machine..
It's been a long time.
We felt bad about what happened.
We've wanted to make amends.
Amends for what?
My money?
y reputation?
My life?
I invented that time machine
should've been the first to-travel time.
Because of a terracotta warrior,
you chose Hong Siu Lung
and got me wrongly imprisoned for 20 years.
I'm taking back everything
You wanied to seize the time machine
and change history.
I hadl no choice but to stop you.
History cannot be changed by anyone.
If you haven't tried it.
How do you know it can't be done?
Activate the time machine.
Ken
Think this through.
Without the signal receiver, you won't make it back.
Galie
Get the receiver.
I got it, Dad.
Join your uncle on the platform.
Ken
This will have huge consequences.
That's my intention.
I will replace the Qin Emperor
and become the first king in history!
"To whomever we worship
"History has only heed fate's commands"
"Fate"
"Who can twist the course of fate?"
"With or without whom"
"Even in chaos, the course is set"
"Who is rewriting the plot?"
"Don't rejoice just yet"
"Just because you are called a dynasty's founder"
Dad!
Let's stop.
We all need a break
All ofyou suck.
Fine, take five.
Crap, I'm vomiting stomach acid.
You used to be a general.
Where's your stamina?
can't compare to you.
Your stamina hasn't declined one bit all these years.
Of course.
Keep resting, you dud.
I'll keep playing.
Swap!
Bowie, join my team.
Absolutely!
Over here!
Wow!
Bowie!
Yes!
Yay!
Crap, my bun fell off.
Give it up, Dad, it's really ugly.
Think I like it? Your mother made me wear it.
It looks like a steamed bun!
Here, eat it.
Dig in.
Hey.
You guys carry on, I need a break.
What's up? Grand Tutor Hong, it's been a long time.
Not that long.
You beat the fifth kingdom quickly.
It was hardly quick, my friend.
Qi comes after Yan.
The sixth and final kingdom.
Indeed.
You always had such great foresight.
Do you have any wisdom for taking the Qi state?
the
Quit kissing my ass.
Kissing ass? What does that mean?
It means you're very polite.
Thank you,
I can be quite the ass-kisser.
Un-huh...
Let me catch my breath.
Four words:
Victory without a fight.
Victory without a fight?
Bowie!
Ball.
Wow!
That's a victory without a fight.
It's usable now.
But when they invent offside, it'll be a foul.
If we can take the Qi state so easily..
His Majesty will soon look for another target.
Tell him to stop and take a breather, man.
He only listens to you.
You told hirn not to obsess about living to 100.
So he asked the physician to develop an immortality elixir.
For crying out loud...
Tell him to stop.
That kind of technology doesn't exist in this era.
The fact is...
His Majesty still misses you.
He speaks of your often.
How many people has he harmed recently?
Tell him to eat more vegetables.
Accurulate good karma.
You care a great deal, too.
After taking the final kingdom..
We will not meet again.
Stay safe.
"Take care.
Cake what?
Hong Siu Lung!
Crap, I forgot to buy rice.
Bowie, Yik,
we gotta go!
"Good luck!"
Cluck?
Your Majesty, Chancellor Li has received news of your victory.
He awaits Your Majesty at Hangu Pass.
Just like Grand Tutor Hong's brilliant prediction.
Our forces achieved victory without a fight.
Of course...
Your Majesty's wisdom led the way.
Without it,
even Grand Tutor's best laid schemes would be feckless.
Hong Siu lung...
have conquered all six kingdoms.
I need your assistance no longer:
Lemon tea!
Mother...
Let's eat!
Digging in!
You're definitely hiding money.
asked for a bucket of rice, you only bought half.
Qin Emperor has united all six states.
He'll come after us next.
It's not safe here.
We have to move.
Eat up.
Protect the king!
Your Majesty, we have never seen these weaponry
Please retreat to the capital at once!
Find Hong Siu Lung.
I've found him!
I've caught the Qin Emperor
Ken
Let me have a go.
Done, you can kill the king now.
A king would wear an armor like this?
Where's your king?
We have to movel - Anywhere but here!
He'll never find us!
You told us over and over.
The emperor is a fake, you installed him on the throne.
And once he takes all six kingdoms.
He'll kill us to protect his secret.
It cloesn't matter where we go and what we carry
What matters is the family sticking together
That's what home is.
I love you two.
Dad.
asked for one with the pattern.
This is white, where's the pattern?
Hong Siu Lung!
Who dares to say my full name?!
Yik.
Grab weapons from the kitchen.
Go back inside.
Go on...
Don't come out.
Get in there.
Tend to his wounds this instant!
Heed the imperial decree!
t in
Bring him over there.
Mother.
That man is the king?
Hold him down!
What is that object?
This is a bullet.
It's fired from a gun.
What did the attackers look like?
They wore odd clothing.
They rode high-speed weapons, legs off ine ground.
After several thunderous blasts.
My army suffered countless casualties.
Are they to do with your mysterious hometown?
My hometown's people
wouldn't harm you.
deem only you to be trustworthy.
Really?
If he's the only one you trust..
Grant Lung a death-exemption plate!
Insolence!
Who is being insolent here?
A disciple persecuting his teacher is insolence
Because of you, we have lived in fear for years.
Is that not enough?
Nobody move!
I'm sorry, Your Majesty!
Forgive me, Your Majesty!
So this is the Qin Emperor.
Blasphemous villain, how dare you! Stand down!
Don't you move.
Put your gun down.
Who are you?
How'd you get here?
Did Dr. Frankenstein.
I mean, did Dr. Wu send you here?
What's this? How outrageous!
You're outrageous!
What was that for, smariass?!
He was about to answerme!
Explain this to the king yourself.
deserve death, Your Majesty!
Who were these rebels?
All I know is that they are no ordinary folk.
But from whence they care and why they attacked.
-I have no idea.
Mercy, Your Majesty!
He had no other choice.
Did you have to kill him?
Why have you put on his clothes?
You are not cohorts.
Is that weapon.
That so-called "gun"?
What is that, Dad?
Is it more powerful than a blade?
I've never seen this model
We can't stay here. Let's go.
Protect the king! - Aye!
George
Do you copy?
Don't shoot the king!
Go back!
Follow me!
Find them!
Why does such secret passage exist?
I dug this in case you come to kill me!
Who knew I'd use it to save you?
Which asshole hid the secret switch?!
Bowie, look after your moms.
I'll see you at the fortress.
Be careful.
Brother, ride with the generals.
I must protect His Majesty!
I will be fine.
I have Grand Tutor Hong.
Let's go!
Swing it!
Push!
After them!
Lie down!
- Mo! General, steer!
Jump!
Your Majesty, are you all right?
Where's your driver's license?! Are you all right?
Where is Hong Siu Lung?
Your Majesty!
Dad, it's me!
Lung!
Yik,Fong, find Chancellor Li.
You two, go to the fortress.
Lights out!
I thought you'd never come.
Brother Hong.
Take them back to the fortress.
I'll find the king. Thank you!
Someone is there.
Hey!
Jon't fire, how do you know who's the
Let's split up.
Your Majesty.
It is me!
Keep a lookout.
You said earlier
your secret passage was to stop me.
You are my teacher.
Why would you be wary of me?
So you do know I'm your teacher.
I have a family.
How can I not be wary of you?
All these years...
Have you ever thought of killing me?
Yes.
But thinking and doing are different matters.
You've conquered all six kingdoms.
I've done all I needed to do.
You defy all my advice.
I told you there's no such thing as an immortality elixir
Be honest...
If I get you back to the palace safely.
Will you leave my family in peace?
It is your people who will not leave me in peace
Since ethey are here.
Does that mean
you have another chance of returning home?
Galie
Galie
That hurts!
That hurts!
You're heavy!
Give me a hand.
Just let go.
You asshole!
Take your sweet time.
What are you doing?
Do you kill for sport?
Is your arm hurt?
Sorry.
Why are you after him?
What's your purpose
for coming here?
The one who should be dead is you
Why didn't you come back?
You think I elidn't want to?
I'm desperate to go back!
You wouldn't get it.
Get up.
Brother Hong.
Good to see you unharmed.
Who is this?
Lock her up.
All right. Thank you.
Lung!
Are you all right? Dad.
Hong
you must love your dear disciple.
You spent years on this fortress and the secret passage.
Was it not
to stop this man?
Yet today, you let the snake in.
Look, pal.
Cut me some slack.
Everyone's watching.
I had no choice.
Help me out?
Insolence!
Why have you not kneeled in my presence?
Your Majesty..
My wife, Song, is a wornan of few words.
She only seeks to express her admiration.
In my presence..
You simple villagers dare to be so imprudent?
Back away.
This is no place
Your Majesty to flaunt your power.
Brazen scoundrel.
You dare to speak to me like this?
That's enough flaunting.
Stop making it worse.
Let me find you a safe place to rest.
Come on.
Hong Siu Lung!
What are you screaming for?
This is the safest place for you.
Bowie.
Keep an eye on him.
He's got lots of enemies here.
Watch your baick.
I will.
Dad...
I heard Stone said that
his and Song's familles
were killed in this king's war
or while working in forced labor.
Just do your job.
You're a grown-up now.
Is your name not Hong Yu?
Your nickname is Bowie?
You should be 20 years old now.
When I became your father's disciple...
I was younger than you.
This fortress kept us out of war for 20 years.
But,today...
You brought the warmonger here.
This is sangerous to your family.
And my disciples, too.
Fong and Ching may not dare to ask.
But I do.
How much longer
will you stay devoted to Chiu Poon?
I'mn responsible for what happened, too.
can't just abandon my disciple
For him..
You can sacrifice your friends and even your family?
You're all family to me.
won't sacrifice anyone.
I have trusted you for over 20 years.
I just want to remind you...
The closeness of people
can be hard to balance.
Everything requires hard choices.
Galie
Galie
Galie
Dan
Do you copy?
Where's the Qin Emperor?
This forest
is always misty.
A bearing is hard to get.
You will never find them!
Ken
No, I meant.
Boss...
Look...
I've got...
one man dead and one missing.
The king's gone, too.
What's your next move?
Don't worry.
I'll find the king.
Hong won't abandon his family.
Very well..
In that case...
Pass my two men's wages
over to me.
Brother-in-law...
Do you think Galie's been taken by Hong?
Hey!
What?
Eat something
Turn off.
What's this?
Turn on.
Voice activation?
Phones nowadays are voice activated.
And it recognizes onlymy voice.
When I say "Turn on...
Thank you!
The image can be blown up now?
And I can swipe with my fingers?
That's interesting!
Pineapple bun, egg tart, red bean drink...
They're delicious!
You miss Hong Kong?
Take it back, I'd hate to break it.
It doesn't break that easily.
Phones are made in China now.
A charge lasts a whole year.
Seriously? A whole year?
My old phone wasn't this advanced.
This is advanced?
You're such a caveman.
The one in my bag
is even better.
This one?
This...
This is my dad's greatest invention.
Is that the genie's lamp?
A motorbike?
It's not only a motorbike.
can tell right away it's a vacuum cleaner.
Wow!
It hovers.
What controls it?
The mind.
Drive with your mind.
I'm for real.
Mind-controlled flight?
Your dad's better than Einstein.
He was the head of R&D at Lee Siu-chiu's tech company.
He invented the time machine.
But Lee chose you as the first time traveler
But since you never came back,
someone had to take the fall
My dad was wrongly imprisoned.
I'm sorry that
your dad got dragged into this.
Why didn't you come back?
If you did, my dad wouldn't have gone to jail.
What's your endgame here anyway?
He wants to take the Qin Emperor's place.
Put this on.
What the devil is this?
It'll save your life.
I can't protect you all the time.
It is so thin. It hardly looks sturdy at all
Why must it be ethick? Feeling chilly?
it on, you've got lots of enem
I did not know the people's hatred of me runs so deep.
Did you know
how many families you've ruined?
Uniting the nation cannot come without a price
If any harm beialls me now...
It will only beget more wars
and more deaths.
I made you pose as Ying Zheng,
saying it was for the greater good.
But I also did it so I could go home.
The man you are today
was a monster I created.
Whenever you take a life..
I feel like I'm complicit.
You asked me in the cave
whether I long to go home...
I haven't about it for a while.
But if I can...
If I can really make it home..
That would be
a pretty good ending.
Put it on.
Don't make me worry about you.
Master...
I promise...
When this is over..
You will no longer need to fear your family's safety
These 20 years.
There is one thing I have yet to say to you.
Thank you.
Dad!
Dad, Uncle Yik is hurt!
Someone's been shot, can we heal him?
Let me see the wound.
The bullet went through, it's not in his body
This syringe increases his white blood cells and hemagglutinin.
This laser kills bacteria, eases inflammation
and heals his wound.
Turn him over.
Are you all right, Yik?
Sorry, brother.
Get some rest.
I'll find a way to find Fong.
Okay?
Thanks for saving my blood brother.
Good thing future tech is so advanced.
Technology...
When it's used well, it can save lives.
When it's abused, you get a time machine.
Aren't you and I victims of that time machine?
never felt I was a victim.
At least.
I did my best
to live a happy and meaningful life.
I can see that.
You and your wives, your son and your friends
seem really happy.
Galie -Your wife and---
Galie
Galie
Galie
Do you copy?
Hello?
Hong Siu Lung...
I have your wife.
And I have your daughter.
Let's swap.
My wife for your daughter.
No, I want two for one.
My daughter and the Qin Emperor.
Your daughter is all you can trade for.
choose the Qin Emperor.
Put my daughter on.
Dad.
Galie
Think of the greater good.
We'll get the king first.
Hong.
In 30 minutes,
meet us at the giant wooden cart.
If the man you bring isn't the Qin Emperor...
I'll kill her.
30 minutes it is.
I don't get what his greater good is.
He didn't want his own child.
I came here
to make up for our lost time.
But all he cares about is becoming king.
I know you have my jade pendant.
Hand it back.
Since I picked up
your jade pendant in the mausoleum..
It has stayed with me for 20 years.
Seeing it reminds me of you.
I'm right here.
Just look this way, hand me the pendant.
Thank you!
My receiver.
But it's out of battery
If your dad's receiver goes haywire..
Charge this and take them back.
Then you won't make it back.
You haven't answered me.
Will you
return to your hometown?
decided to stay because of you.
These past 20 years...
never regretted it.
The king is right here.
Where's Lung? Run.
Tail them.
Tim, this is the Qin Emperor.
With him in our hands..
We'll be able to enter the imperial palace.
It's filled with antiques!
But first things first...
How do we get the receiver to go back?
Figure that out..
We'll kill them all
We'll split the cash ourselves!
I would advise you
to reconsider prudently.
If you kill them
and they do not have the receiver...
Then you are marooned here.
What are you saying?
I have an excellent proposition.
As long as
you two return me to the palace,
I will hand you the receiver Hong Siu Lung left behind
You only seek money, why turn to slaughter?
What the hell?
Why did you hell me?
I'll help you, brother!
If you kill me,
you won't make eit home, either.
You can decide
whether to trust me.
Are you all right?
Steward To...
You'll survive!
-Bowie! Mom!
Ching!
Ken, we got a fake emperor!
Galie
re you all ri
Phil
I've found Gaile
She all right.
The Qin Emperor's in the ecage. Stand by
Copy.
Let's go.
For the greater good, you should find the king first.
Just let me know when you're ready to go home.
Gaile, success is within reach.
When I become king...
Whatever you want.
I'll make it up to you.
I don't need compensation.
Don't become king. People will die, and you'll pay for it.
Stop this mistake!
I don't have time to explain, come on!
Do not take one step outside!
Bowie!
Brother-in-law!
-
Let's go!
Your Majesty!
Bowie!
Ma'am! - Are you all right? Where are you hurt?
Your Majesty!
Dad, it's time to stop.
I want to go home.
You have the receiver, let's go back.
Go back?
What can we do?
I couldn't even see you for almost 20 years.
I can't make that up to you.
I don't need compensation!
I lost you for almost 20 years.
Getting you back is
the best compensation.
I don't get why you're desperate to be king.
When I become king...
It'll prove I was right, that history can be altered.
Dad.
Hong didn't go back because he had no choice.
Stop being hung up on the past.
We'll go back and turn a new leaf together..
While we still have a choice.
Medicine bag, hot water, needle and thread, now!
Steward To is hurt! Hang in there!
Hot water! Needle and thread!
Brother Hong
Protect our family
Steward To!
Miss.
I'm afraid I can no longer look after you.
I will see you all in the next life.
Steward To!
Blame yourself all you want.
But it will not
bring Steward To back.
Instead...
Figure out how to protect all of us.
The closeness of people
requires hard choices.
I will no longer sacrifice family
to save my disciple.
Go to Li Si alone.
My disciples...
are my family.
He laid down his life to save Bowie
for your sake.
You always say you do not wish to change history.
If those people replace the king...
What will happen to us?
Lung...
We are not out to help the king.
We are stopping someone from changing history.
If you give up now,
Steward To and everyone's sacrifice will have been in vain.
I'm sorry.
I'll send him back.
Let me avenge my master,
my godfather and my wife.
Congratulations.
You got your precious daughter back.
What are you doing
Shut your trap.
It's nothing...
I'd just like to know..
Where's the receiver that will take us home?
What for?
Not much
Just want to take a look.
Haven't I shown you before?
I can't look at it again?
Trying to o leave?
Our mission's not complete.
Your daughter's safe and sound.
But I lost two of my guys
and we haven't caught the Qin Emperor.
The scale seems tipped.
No more games.
Where's the receiver?
Shoot.
Then you'll never find the receiver.
By then...
You won't have any money.
No one will make it home.
I've killed the Qin Emperor.
When we reach the palace,
take as much treasure as you want.
Go home whenever you'd like.
So we have the Qin Emperor's face already!
Hong will find us soon.
We'll enter the palace first.
You stay here with Tim.
Kill Hong.
I'm going with you.
Stay here with Tim.
I'm going with you!
Then we don't have a deal.
I'll stay here with Tim.
You three enter the palace.
How about that?
Hong Siu Lung can't die.
Want some peanuts?
Thirsty? Want any water?
There's no map or compass.
We're screwed.
Beware of the sun along the way.
Godfather,
with your bland looks,
you really should not be so tanned.
I'm gonna 'hit your lung."
What?
You talk too damn much!
From here,
make your way northeast.
Go over two mountains and cross a river
You shall find Li Si at Hangu Pass.
- Pack up. All right.
Stone and I will take a shoricut.
You guys/take the main road to Li Si.
Bowie..
I'm leaving them in your hands.
Hop on.
am besieged on all sides.
My closest generals have perished.
Fortunately, two commoners rescued me
so I could reachHangu Pass.
Before Your Majesty's campaign against the Qi,
we had discussed how to
reward Hong Siu Lung and promote him
after our great victory.
How could he repay kindness with hostility?
He deserves death.
After my escape.
Hong and his band of traitors
certainly not give up.
You must stay vigilant, Chancellor Li.
Your Majesty
Chancellor...
Before the campaign on the Qi,
His Majesty never spoke of any promotion.
The rebels have such a powerful weapon?
How fortunate that you survived your ordeal.
Only because His Majesty spared me.
But these rebels are skilled in sorcery.
They can change their appearances to look like us.
Shall we expose them this very moment?
Exposing them now will only scare them off.
Then what shall we do?
Since His Majesty has found Grand Tutor Hong..
He will bring the real king back.
I have faith in Grand Tutor Hong.
Listen to yourself.
Spoken like a king!
You think you're king already?
You're really something.
Hop on.
Move it.
Godfather, shall we walk?
Help!
We're under attack.
I don't know if it's Hong.
Come back first.
Under His Majesty's decree..
Hong Siu Lung and his rebels are to be killed on sight.
What are you waiting for?
The truth cannot be faked.
The faked cannot be made real
Where is His Majesty?
Ching, Fong and Bowie are outside with the king.
Send protection.
I'll go deal with that knock-off.
Commadant Leung!
Sir!
Go forth and protect His Majesty!
Aye!
Brother-in-law, Hong has entered the pass.
He's flying to you now.
Guard!
Your Majesty!
Capture the assassin Hong Siu Lung
and his band of rebels
Kill on sight.
Aye!
The Qin Emperor's alive, he's on the way!
The emperor's not dead?
You said you'd killed him!
Doesn't matter now.
Kill the Qin Emperor!
This is your king, make way!
That minister sent a cavalry in!
I can't stop the Qin Emperor, Ken!
What?
We're unarmed.
If they come in, we're dead!
Soldiers, heed my command!
Aye!
Capture the rebels!
Ken.
Stop playing tricks with me.
Get your receiver ready right now!
Godfather, this is too shaky!
I must go.
Lucky I haven't had breakfast yet.
Galie
What you said at the fortress.
Is it true that Hong can guarantee your safety?
He promised
that he'd help us.
Besides, he has a receiver.
It's possible that he can
send us back before the king arrives.
His model is from nearly 20 years ago.
I don't know if it'll work.
Even if it does...
That model
only carries two people.
Go back with your uncle first.
The king is almost here.
Charge my receiver!
Sneak attack?
Charge it, hurry!
How? How should I know? Your model's 20 years olk
Your receiver only carries two people
Send my father and uncle back.
Give me that receiver!
How to charge?
The receiver has to be charged to send you back!
I don't care.
I don't want yours, I want that one!
And I'm leaving now!
Hand it over!
Charge it yourself.
You...
Charge this damn thing!
If I don't make it back.
You're all dead!
Don't try anything funny.
Tim, come help me.
Charge it.
How does it work?
Dad!
Try this charger.
His Majesty arrives!
Hide, I'll stall for time.
Leave it to me.
Stone, come here.
Keep an eye on this.
Detain the rebels!
Aye!
Close the door!
Without my order, none shall enter!
Your Majesty!
Let me handle this.
I'll send them back right away.
I will spare no mercy
for those who impersonate me!
Do you think Hong can convince the king to let us go?
Like hell he'll let us go.
I fired three shots at him.
Nothing Hong says will work.
The receiver's almost charged.
I'll buy us time.
If the receiver activates,
leave first.
Step aside!
I am the real emperor!
How dare you, rebel?!
Capture him!
You is impersonating me!
Capture him!
Galie
You didn't have to kill her!
Stop getting in my way!
When the pendant is charged, they'l be gone.
Hong SiuLung...
Do you think I would not dare to kill you?
- Dad! Don't move!
Dad...
For almost 20 years,
you suffered what you shouldn't have suffered.
If you can go back, live a proper life.
can't stay with you anymore.
If there is a next life
- I'd still choose to be your daughter. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
I'll grab the receiver.
No traitor shall leave!
All traitors must die.
am ordained by Heaven, I am irreplaceable!
By Heaven?
History tells me...
You've only got 10 years left to live.
Insolence!
Your rule...
Will end by Hong Yu's hands
Galie
I'mon my way to you.
Anyone who threatens my rule...
Shall die!
Hong Siu Lung!
You knew all along!
Listen...
I know you want me to stay away!
You've gone insane!
Hong Siu Lung!
Come on!
Do not do act rashly!
Let my family go!
You expect me to let your son destroy my empire?!
I'm leaving, no matter what.
All land under Heaven belong to me.
Where can you hide?
Tell your people to get me a boat!
Hong.
The boat is ready.
LetHis Majesty go.
Li Si, hold them back
Stop!
Get on the boat.
Let us go.
I promise
you'll never see me again.
Let you go?
Even to the ends of the world..
I shall pursue you.
You built a fortress, recruited rebels.
You knew my future
but hid it from me.
It's pointess to tell you.
What's bound to happen will happen!
Since that is so
You will stand idly by while your son destroys me?
Can't it just be someone with the same name?
Are you sure it's my son?
Millions of people are named Hong
Why don't you kill them all?
Anyone who hinders my ambitions
will not be spared!
This is my fate.
This isn't your fate!
You're sick.
History cannot be changed
vhai must happen will happen ev
Is it because of history
that you cannot kill me?
Yes.
But there's another reason.
Giddy up!
Feed him this bucket of droppings!
There's way more than 10 taels here.
Kill me if you must!
Why would I? I'm not you.
What makes him qualified?
Is he good enough to be my teacher?
I've got plenty of qualities.
Again?
Please take me as your disciple!
No one talked any sense into you.
That's why you're like this.
As your teacher, starting from now.
in addition to teaching kung fu.
I'll also teach you how to be a dlecent person, got it?
Master...
No one has ever said that to me before.
Only you care about me.
You fool, plenty of people care about you.
You'll be a success someday
I understand
Master, I have no one here.
You're all I have. Don't leave!
You're a grown man. I'm not your mother.
Stop following me everywhere. Be good.
Does Master not want to share the fruits of our labor?
What I want the most
is to go home with my wives.
We'll do a little farming
and live out our lives in peace.
Hong, I never want to see you again.
Be careful where you tread.
Once.
You told me.
I'm like family to you.
These 20 years...
I've thought of you as a son, too.
Will I ever see you again?
Keep this shattered pendant
by your side.
Let it be your memory of me.
I've known you for over 20 years.
This is...
As far as I can go with you.
Remember this.
Follow Heaven's will.
Take care.
Take care...
Master.
Your Majesty..
Archers are ready.
Give the command
and Hong Siu Lung will not escape.
Return to the palace.
My great undertakings await.
Start them all.
Your Majesty, the war just ended.
The nation needs to recover, I am afraid.
Time is running out.
To realize my dominance, sacrifices must be made.
And what of Hong Siu Lung?
Tell the historian.
I ordered him
to seek the immortality elixir.
I came to see him off today.
Aye.
About tonight's events...
Anyone who spreads a single rumor.
shall die!
About tonight's events...
Anyone who spreads a single rumor
shall die!
Aye!
Dad.
Will we ever come back?
(According to historical records, the Qin Emperor)
(dispatched an envoy in search of the immortality elixir)
(The envoy never returned)
Master, if you had returned home...
Would this have ended differently?
Every choice
creates a new universe.
Let me take you to another universe
to see another ending.
They're with me.
These are my wives
This is my son.
This is my disciple.
This is Li Si.
And this one...
He's the reason
you sent me back.
The Qin Emperor.
.1!1.
For your safety,
if you don't mind..
I have to give them all body checks.
It's okay.
Go with them.
Such magnificent fireballs!
have finally seen your hometown.
This is such an amazing place.
The immortality elixir must be everywhere
Can you help me...
I told you, the immortality elixir doesn't exist.
Why are you so bullheaded?
Don't lie to me, Master.
Are you that afraid of aging?
If that's the case,
I'll get you plastic surgery, okay?
Does that bring me immortality?
I'm joking.
It's been 20 years...
I've finallys seen your hometown.
What an amazing place.
But it's so bright at night.
How do you sleep?
Do you sleep with your eyes open?
This is my home
It's progressed so much
these past 20 years.
Let's take a seat.
Dig in.
Your Majesty...
In six hours,
if no harm comes to me...
Your Majesty can eat this.
Forget it.
is is bonafide iced lemon t
Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year!
Dig in.
Princess?
Princess Chiu?
I'm not Chiu Sin.
My name's Maggie.
That's right..
Maggie's our employee.
She said for as long as she can remember
she's always had
vivid memories of living in the Warring States era.
One day,
in the office, she saw you
Sorry.
mean, she saw terrcotta warriors like you.
Then everything made sense.
Because you traveled through time...
Anyone who met you,
who fell in love with you,
and died for you
must return with you
and correct the fates you changed.
ar
Are you for real?
That's the real deal.
Drink up.
Siu Lung...
Thank you for taking part in our experiment.
Thanks for your years of hard work.
I should be thanking you.
If it wasn't for you...
I wouldn't have such a great family.
Take care.
won't be coming back.
