Best is to stay here for 2 days, steal and go.

Not possible.

At least replace it with a replica.

But we need data to produce a replica.

Professor Guan has them.

Talk to Coco.

Never mention steal in front of her,

otherwise she won't help.

What should we do?

Guys, look!

Castiglione's Emperor Qianlong's Autumn Hunt!

Is it valuable?

All antiquities are valuable.

My granny's chamber pot must be priceless, too!

So this painting does exist!

I thought it was destroyed in a fire.

In 1860,

my great-great grandfather sailed to China

on Indestructible and won a great victory.

This was one of the spoils of war

he brought back.

You must mean

the ransacking of Old Summer Palace.

That was during the Second Opium War, remember?

That depends on your point of view.

Yes, she is right.

The killing of British and French diplomats

by the corrupt Qing Dynasty

was an excuse to start the war.

Is that a legitimate reason for two industrialized

nations to invade country?

In the eyes of those industrialised nations,

China was a superpower.

True, we even called ourselves Celestial Kingdom

Whose side are you on?

Yours, of course.

Then?

Sorry?

What's next?

On the way back, they met a storm,

and the ship was damaged.

I said it served him right!

Served him right?

What a cruel thing to say!

He went to China on orders of his country.

It was his duty as a soldier.

Fortunately, he was picked up

by a passing Chinese ship.

The God of Justice must be blind!

What did you say?

She said thank goodness he came back.

That's obviously not what she said.

But, thank you all the same.

You're welcome.

What are you doing?

I'm taking it back to China!

This is my home,

you can't just take anything you want!

Just like over a hundred years ago,

your ancestors didn't ask for permission

before taking this

Coco

Coco

These things happened so long ago.

Back then, if a woman wore too little clothes,

someone might throw a stone at you,

no, at her.

Oh, sorry.

Sorry for what?

Don't be a bleeding heart.

She should be the one apologizing.

What did she say?

Did she say something?

I don't need you to translate.

Did you all forget?

They came to our country a century ago,

burned, raped, murdered and pillaged.

Over a century ago,

you came to our country to rape,

pillage and murder.

Even a hundred years later,

these memories still hurt the Chinese!

It's true.

I studied history. Whatever the excuses

I studied history.

Whatever the excuses used,
