The Myth (2005) Movie Script

1
They are in Qing's territory
Prepare the welcoming party
Shi Huang Ti..Ordained Gen
Moong yi to welcome them
Please, princess..
Please, princess..
By order of Shi Huang Ti..
Princess Yu Su is to become
the Emperor's wife
Princess Yu Su humbly accept
Bring the Princess back
The Princess has become the Emperor's wife
Anybody who dare to offend her
will be Qing Dynasty's enemies
Get ready to attack
Get ready to attack
Prepare for action!
Prepare for action!
My mission is to protect the Princess
Let's achieve our own mission
Hey, William
Call me Jack
I'm Mengqi, Welcome
to the 'anti-gravity' research
'Anti-gravity'?
This is our explanation
Keep watching
Let's ask the Professor to explain it
Professor
Science has pointed out that
high speed spinning..
Can reduce the weight of matters
We can make the following conclusion..
This is a very very expensive experiment
Not only is it impractical..
It can't be used in biological
experiments too
Because no living creature
can withstand this type of speed
Thank you, Mengqi
You're welcome
Hey,you study physics
and I study archeology
What has this got to do with me?
I want to find the point in
all mysterious phenomena
Remember that article of yours?
There was a small country across
Desar's border 6000 years ago
His coffin's floating in the air
That article has inspired me
It's just a myth
I have comics for you
Before we get any scientific proof..
A lot of things are only 'ideas'
Jack..
Cordless phone is a myth 150 years ago
So is the aeroplane
so is going to the moon
Even computers and digital technology..
Are just myths 20,30 years ago
Do you know how many people..
Are dying to research this technology?
If I succeed..
-I'll change the history
Our lives in the future
the transportation system..
Flying in the air, Even the intergalactical
migration in the future
Are all closely connected
to this research
I know you've always wanted
to do great things
Nobody has ever entered
this tomb before
Archeology is my work
I have my own principles
Only research
unlike some people I know..
Tomb raiders
It's been quite a while
but you still can't forget that matter
Some things are remembered forever
Been quite a while
since we last played
Let's see if you have improved
Jack!
Don't you play in your leisure hours?
Yes,but I haven't tried
slam dunk from this angle
Shit
Who asks you to give me the ball?
Come
Is that girl Mengqi your girlfriend?
She's a representative
of my sponsor
What about your Kailin?
Kailin?Forget it
I dreamed of an ancient princess
Her name is Yu Su
Try and see, I called her
name every time I dreamed of her
What will Kailin think?
Let's change the subject
Jack,you're not a stickler for rules
You've always believed in
your instinct
You discovered that that scroll
is a fake..
By your instinct
Jack..
Your instinct didn't tell you?
I only want to prove that
this is a fact..
And not a myth
Jack
What now?
-I think I have a heat stroke
We're almost there
-Don't bullshit
I've asked you to exercise more
I do,I play golf for 3 hours a day..
And tennis for 2 hours
if you carry on like this
You'll go blind
How about you carry me on your back?
Jack
That guy can fly?
-Yeah
Really?
Really!
Go up there
Help me
Your legs are so strong
Let go of me
This temple is very nice
There must be a lot of hidden stories
I couldn't get in the last time
Jack
It's floating in the air
Jack
look
There's a floating sword too
I see that
I think the words on the bottom
of the coffin..
Is about his life
An embassy to Qing
The prince went to Qing
with jewelry and beauties
The Qing Emperor let him choose
from his concubines..
And he picked the Qing Emperor's
favourite concubine
The Emperor broke his promise
Got an artist to draw the concubine..
And gave him a gemstone
as replacement
The prince contended with
the bravest Qing warrior..
Exchanged swords
Jack
You OK?
What did you do?
I've never seen such a stone before
I want to take it back for research
But we agreed not to take away anything
I'll put it back when I'm finished
You nearly get us killed
Why did the coffin fall..
As long as I took away the stone?
The Emperor had lost a son-in-law
He asked Concubine Li to give
the Prince her portrait
Concubine Li does not smile
How am I going to draw her portrait?
I haven't seen her smile before
since she came to the palace
General Moong has arrived
Snapped..
I was saying sorry
How am I to know?
I only wanted to save you
We agreed not to take away anything
For self protection
Let's go,Jack
I took that portrait for you
Let's go
Catch them!
You go first
Jack!
Quick!Throw stones!
Jack!
Jack...!
Concubine Li
Forgive me for not protecting
you effectively
Stop!Put down your sword
Or else I'll kill her
if only 1 person could live
I hop it's you
Leave it!
General!
General Moong Yi!
Don't help me up
We're of different ranks
Why did you risk your life
to save me?
Once a sword is done
it must kill enemies
Like the sword,I'm destined
to fight for the Emperor
To die for my country
You're Concubine Li of the Qing Dynasty
it's my mission to protect you
Forgive me that you were
threatened just now
I have you beside me
I'm not scared of anything
We'd better get out of here
Alright...Letchmi, be good
Letchmi, where are you going?
It's a man, Letchmi, save him
Hurry, Letchmi!
Be careful
How do you feel?
Much better,thank you
How did I get here?
You lost consciousness and the river
carried you here
Then my...
-Sword?
Come with me
This way
Where is this place?
This is the origin of Desar's kungfu
Its 3000 years old
My uncle is the 275th descendant
That's my uncle
I hear you became the news in Desar?
I'm very sorry,I've created
a lot of problems here
You destroyed the coffin of Desar's Emperor
And broke the superstition that
the Desar people held for 2000 years
For thousands of years
the people of Desar..
Didn't know how to be tranquil
They only knew..
Praying to those flying monks
At least they have learnt something today
To be tranquil is not just
Looking at the sky..
But to bow
And be humble and honest
I know why you came
This is not a common sword
It's yours
But this is not my sword
I didn't come here to fight
I came for answers
Then fight for your answers
Young man..
The answer's already in your heart
The sword and you can become 1
This must be due to your previous life
Master,You think people
really have a previous life?
What's previous life?
What's life in the present?
What's illusion?What's reality?
I always dreamed of..
An ancient general and princess
What's all that got to do with me?
I don't know if it's a dream or reality
But I saw the princess's portrait
on the coffin yesterday
Memory?
What should I do?
who is he?
What did he want to tell me?
Only you can find him
Moong Yi
General Moong Yi
Come in,General Moong Yi
Moong Yi!
General Moong Yi!
You promised to protect me
Don't die!
I've lost everything
I only have you
Please don't leave me
General Moong Yi!
Come quickly!
This is the first time I feel so free
No need for courtly behaviour
It's so beautiful
This is the first time I saw you smile
Why can't you look at me?
I do not dare
Don't talk like that
Don't let that feeling slip away
I shan't address you as
General Moong yi from now on
Alright,Moong Yi?
I'd like to dance
Shall I dance for you?
Please don't
Only the Emperor can see you dance
I only want to dance this song for you
We've reached the Great Wall
This is all Qing territory
We'll reach Xienyang once
we cross the mountain
You're safe
I can achieve my mission after all
No,I don't want to go to Xienyang
Take me away
anywhere
As long as I'm with you
I don't want to marry the Qing Emperor
I don't want to marry the Qing Emperor
Why must we be winning all the time..
Only to find ourselves
the slaves of destiny?
When can we be free?
On the day we die?
Concubine Li..
Please be calm!
Don't forget..
your mission
You must live for your people
Living brings hopes
Promise me you'll live
It's so painful to live
Alright
I promise
I'll live for you
Jack..
There's a police looking for you
What?
That's him
I'll get you out of here
Come with me!
This way,follow me
Quick,throw that away!
Lets go!
This way!
Why did you help them?
You led them into the tomb?
Stop!Don't move!
Wow!
Wow what?
I meant you're good!
Don't jump!
What did you say?
Nothing
What are you doing?
Helping you!
Jack!
Help me!
Pull me up!
Let's go!
Wait!
What
Sorry
Let's go
Follow this river for 2 days
and we'll reach the Chinese border
Thank you for all the help
Will we meet again?
I'll definitely come back to see you
And your uncle
Take care
I'm really floating
We've used mass spectrometry
Even bombarded its atoms
with numerous materials
But it's unbelievable
It's spectrum does not even come close to..
Any material we've known on earth
Including the Ecaros spectrum
This apparatus flew away
from the solar system..
This is its last transmission
just before it disintegrated
But if the emission of the
mysterious stone is blocked..
It won't be effective anymore
Mengqi,don't!
Hello?
Jack,our research worked!
So so
According to my initial analysis..
From the Era of the Warring States
to early Qing Dynasty
And the coagulated material on it..
Can only be found in Qing artifacts
Look at its shape and trappings
It seems to be a Qing general's sword
It must be a national treasure
Come..careful
-Alright
What are you doing?
This is our sword
Jack has given it to our museum
for custody
But this expedition is funded
by our foundation
Its findings should belong to the Foundation
You can't give the sword
to the museum
That is a national treasure
It belongs to mankind
We should return it to the owner
through the museum
Furthermore, this 'anti-gravity' research..
Has got nothing to do with
those 2 artifacts
Before I come to any conclusion
with my experiments..
Everything is a crux of the matter
How can you make such rash judgement?
My experiments are for
the benefits of mankind
Artifacts are dead stuff
With no life and no future
But science cares for the future
OK,then these 2 artifacts..
Are dead stuff from 2000 years ago
Why do you mind so much?
We risked our lives to get that sword
I
OK,if we found the meteor..
You meant to send it back too?
Yes
if it belongs to other people
then we must give it back
Nobody should grab things
from another country..
And put it in his own country's museum
His intention is to keep it
That's disgusting
What now?
What else can I do?
William
Do you want to see the sponsor..
Who has been helping you
in the past years?
Of course,but he doesn't want to see me
I'll bring you to see him now
Now?
Come with me
I'll pass these 2 artifacts
back to Desar
Thank you
It's you?
Prof Gu
I've stopped being a professor
for many years
Mr.Gu,in the past few years...
You're the one who's helping me?
I've admired you even before
you graduated
And Jack too
You don't hate him?
No
Even though he's hurt me deeply
What do you want me to do?
Stay with Jack
Follow him
Inspire him
He'll make you..
The greatest scientist on earth
isn't that your lifelong dream?
The sword has the engraved curse
toward the Qing Emperor
The Emperor killed everyone around here
So that nobody would know about
the secret meteor
What happened to dad?
What happened to His Majesty?
I have urgent matter to report
Speak up
His Majesty..
General..
Surrounded by rebels
on his way to protect the longevity pill
Summon the troops
Yes
The fastest horse!
Yes, sir
The news has leaked
Old Siew dare not..
Pass my word to the Prime Minister..
I don't know anything
I'll divulge nothing
I don't know anything
The people around my dad
might leak secrets
The longevity pill was done
but on its way back here..
It was blocked by the rebels
General Moong,you have other mission
You shouldn't leave
But it's urgent
Your Majesty should decree
By order of Shi Huang Ti
Don't mess up
Order received
General Moong,for this trip..
His Majesty does not
have a big entourage
if you lead a big troop
to go and get the pill..
I'm worried His Majesty's safety
might be compromised
if so,I'll only bring my own battalion
I won't divulge anything
His Majesty needs me to take care of him
Please let me try once more
General Moong Yi
Take care,Concubine Li
You must come back
if the Emperor's life is secure
So will the life of Concubine Li
Our oath are forever
I'll wait for you to come back
Those with old folks
at home come forward!
Those with single child come forward!
Those with a wife come forward!
Those who come forward defend the place
The rest on your horse now!
General!
We have been through thicks and thins
for so many years..
Why can't we do the same now?
We'll follow General Moong!
We'll follow General Moong!
I've come to take the pill
as per order of the Prime Minister
You dare to disobey me?
I can only give the pill to General Moong
Shu Que cannot give it to
any other person
Let them go
You dare to give false decree!
Kill them all!
General Zhou, General Moong
has order from Shi Huang ti
You should not disobey
the Emperor's decree
You dare to disobey?
kill him
Kill him!
General Moong!
Meng Jie!
General Moong and Meng Jie
this way please
Let's go!
Chase them!
Go!
Black Mountain!
Shoot!
Shoot!
Let's go!
General
You must bring the pill
to the Emperor
Defend the good place
Take care,General
Let's go
Take care,Black Mountain
I'm sorry
Jack,you're right
We should give back the 2 artifacts
I've made something personally
It's for you Hope you'll like it
Thanks
I've looked up the data around
Xian for you
You told me before
You dreamed of waterfalls and tunnels
I hope this might be useful to you
This waterfall
How far away is it from Li Mountain?
about 200 KM
After a heavy downpour
he never came out
Thanks,see ya
Jack,there's a hole behind
the waterfall
There's a big space inside the hole
That's right,about some 10 years ago..
This place was hit by drought
The hole behind it was exposed
A brave fellow crawled inside
Then a downpour ensued
And the hole was again covered up
That fellow never came out again
What do you intend to do?
I want to go inside
But how?
Just break into the waterfall
Are you crazy?
It's too dangerous
Jack,furthermore,your dreams..
I don't know
I don't know what it's got
to do with me also
But I felt her love
if so..
If you can't solve it..
You won't be happy
for the rest of your life
What a lucky place
This water brings every good thing
Jack,only you can..
Bring me here
William,can you hear me?
Roger,Jack
I'm looking at you
Once I go inside the hole..
Can you help me to..
I'll wait for your news
See ya
Don't worry
Jack..
Come in please
Jack
You OK?
My ass..hurts like shit
William,I see a man-made hole
Is it the same as that
in the drawing?
Let me check it out
I'll contact you later
Get ready to roll
Moong Yi..
You've finally come back
I'm your Yu Su
My waiting has been answered
Is that really you?
You're really waiting for me?
Am I dreaming?
I promised to live for you
and I've succeeded
You didn't lie to me
You've really come back
Jack
Thank you,Jack
Without you..
After 1000 years..
This secret will still remain a secret
This place is exactly the same
as what Jack mentioned
I really can't use science
to prove this
In this world..
There are a lot of things..
That cannot be explained by science
This cave..
Though insulated..
ls quite airy
...but found a tunnel here
about 100 miles long
And arrived here
How clever
A good way to divert attention
But the Huangling entry..
In heaven,it can fly
Come,Moong Yi
Try and swim over here
don't be afraid
Careful!
General Baimu, stop!
He's Moong yi
Impossible
He can't be General moong yi
General Moong is a great master in kungfu
How can he be General Moong?
He's really General moong
I'm not mistaken
Are you really General moong?
How are you,sir?
General,I've been protecting
Concubine Li..
As per your instruction
Waiting for you to come back
Mr.Gu
You're good
You've found the secret
Once we can't meet up here..
We'll drift here
Hold my hand
After we separated
I escorted your pill back here
The Emperor was barely alive then
He dare not try it
So he asked me to try it
His Majesty said that it's our luck..
To be able to try out the pill
for His Majesty
In the end,,
Those who wanted to live did not
Those who wanted to die did not
General
After I left the other day
What happened after that?
That day,after I passed
the pill to you..
Take care,Black mountain
Together we can kill our enemies
That's my biggest honour
See ya
Stop!
Kill
Kill!
Surrender,General
Surrender,General
It can't be,it can't be!
I don't believe
if General Moong died
in line of duty..the who are you?
I am..
I've found you
Unbelievable
They made use of stones..
And created this world
General,did you bring this?
No
Wait for me here
Be careful!
Who dares to trespass?
Qing people
Longevity!
Jack
you ok?
You've lied to me since the beginning
You've working for him all along
Jack,I've already told you
Greed is human nature
Need for knowledge is also
an impetus
I only make use of William's greed
And also your need for knowledge
I succeeded
When you snitched me
to the authority..
I told myself..
One day..There'll be
payback time for you
I only want to take something back
for my research
You know my discovery
will benefit mankind
I'll become the greatest scientist
in this century
Nobody can take away the things here
This place belongs to history
It should be buried underground
Without you..
Even if I spent all my time..
I'd never be able to this charade
Professor!
Robber!
You dare to steal Huangling..
Watch out!
Don't shoot,I want him alive
Protect Yu Su
Where's the longevity pill?
Tell me
Stop!
General Baimu
General Baimu
Qing general,you're good
Spit it out!
Where's the longevity pill?
Where's Shi huang Ti's coffin?
Must be in heaven
Take me there
Stop!
Don't even dream of stealing anything
You can't take her away
You have to show me
what you've got
Don't worry,I won't let
anybody hurt you
Help me
Jack
Yu Su,I'll get you out of here
Go!
Jack!
William!
Jack!
Hold on to me
I need to save you
I'm not a tomb raider
if you manage to get out of here
Please finish my work for me
Jack!
Jack
Are we still friends?
Jack
You're not Moong?
It doesn't matter
if I'm Moong or not
I'm not
What's important is we must
get out of here
You're not Moong Yi
I don't want to leave
I want to wait for Moong Yi
Quick,we're too late
No!He didn't die,
I want to wait for him
Yu Su!
I've achieved longevity
6 months later
