Sacrifice Page #4

Heaven protects the Zhaos.

Sir, I entrust you with the child

and my wife. Thank you, sir.

I'm not much for ceremony.

But for saving this child,

I'll make an exception.

Cheng Ying.

This is on behalf of the Zhaos.

Anyone there?

Sir, I want to go home.

We'll take the boy to my place first.

Master has returned.

We're here.

I've lied to you, Sir Gong Sun.

He's my child.

I gave the Zhao boy to the soldiers.

Give the children water.

Give the children water.

If it were me... I wouldn't give

up my own child either.

But all the babies in town are

with Tu'an Gu now.

So your boy...

has become the one they're looking for.

I'll go tell Sir Tu'an now that he's my son.

That won't save him.

Tu'an won't care which is which.

He'll kill them both...

just to be Sure.

Then I'll take him home and hide him.

Hide a newborn?

He just has to cry. I have medicine.

He won't make a sound.

You and your baby...

can hide inside the compound wall.

Will everyone please stand.

Whoever took the Zhao child...

is causing trouble for everyone.

Don't worry,

Your children are fine.

They're being fed rice porridge.

Like you I'm hoping...

whoever took the Zhao child...

will appear here by 3 am.

If he doesn't?

Does Such a person exist who,

to save one child... would sacrifice

one hundred others?

I, Tu'an Gu,

will by 3 am... find this person.

Thank you, Sir!

When we checked the names...

we found all parents present...

except those of one boy.

Do you know whose child it is?

The boy... belongs to a doctor

called Cheng Ying.

Just before you returned...

he finally showed up.

Doctor?

And the mother?

No. I must tell my husband...

we haven't left town.

Otherwise, at 3 am... to save

the other children

he'll definitely tell them...

the Zhao boy was taken out of

town by Sir Gong Sun.

But we're still here.

If you tell him we're here...

Your child will be safe.

But the two of you will have to witness...

the slaughter of a hundred infants.

Could you bear that?

They'll definitely come looking.

What sort of mother abandons

her newborn infant?

Something must be holding her up,

don't you think?

Perhaps it's not their child.

What's the doctor's name?

Cheng Ying.

You hide in this wall.

I'll handle them.

I'll tell Tu'an Gu...

I took the Zhao child outside the town.

Heaven has preserved the Zhaos,

But hasn't been kind to the

two in hiding.

You've not had it easy either.

Send the servants away.

It's time.

The one I'm waiting for...

is still not here.

Which one of you is Cheng Ying?

I'm Cheng Ying.

Is this your child?

It is.

Come.

He's not your child.

He is my child, Sir. There's a

birthmark on his forehead.

Look.

Say he really is yours.
