Sacrifice Page #5

The other parents got here long ago.

Why were you the only one missing?

What kept you?

This is the Zhao child, isn't it?

He's not the Zhao child.

He's my son, really.

I believe you.

But it's already 3 am.

More than 100 children must die...

unless I find the Zhao boy.

Sir, I confess...

I'm the one who took away the Zhao child.

I delivered him.

That's not right either.

If she lived through the birth...

Lady Zhuang Ji would have

fled with him herself.

Why would she give him to

someone like you?

She said only if she died

looking pregnant...

would I be able to escape.

Who'd you give him to?

I can't say.

You must.

Then I'll tell everyone out there...

Their children's murderer...

has been found.

I gave the boy to Sir Gong Sun.

Your children... may live.

Dismount.

The Zhao boy is somewhere in this house.

I was curious to know who'd hide him.

You should've guessed.

But the Zhao child is already

far away from here.

I advise you to let him go.

If you do... you'll release

yourself as well.

The Zhao boy is Surely here somewhere.

When Lady Zhuangji gave him to me,

she said let him grow up...

never to know his parents...

or his enemies.

To let him live an ordinary life.

Bring him here. Let me have a look.

I'll let you take him far away.

I told you,

he's already far away from here.

Well, I shan't be polite.

The louder the better.

Sir Tu'an, Sir Tu'an!

I'll never let you take the child.

Sir Tu'an. Sir Tu'an.

Lady Zhuangji was right to trust you.

I stayed loyal to the Zhaos.

Give me the boy.

Please, spare the boy.

I betrayed him. Let me die in his place.

Who said I'm going to kill him?

Just let me have a look.

I can't.

Who are you?

She's my wife.

Why are you holding a baby who's

not your own?

Because his parents are dead.

If you don't give him to me,

you'll force me to kill him.

Give him to me.

Give him to me.

Sir Tu'uan.

Just for a moment then.

Next.

Cheng Ying. Take your son.

Tu'an Gu, how can I make

everyone fear me?

Easy.

Remember the name of

everyone in your court.

So many names - I have to

remember them all?

Every single one.

Because any one of them could

turn against you.

Do you have enemies?

Not any more.

How can I avoid having enemies?

Tomorrow you'll hold court for the

first time. What should you do?

Tu'an Gu.

Yes.

What is this virtue they call benevolence?

It's one of the highest moral virtues.

It means...

be a good person.

It's so sad.

Raising the kid on his own.

Hurry. Don't look.

Hold on.

I don't want to see you.

What do these blood feuds...

have to do with a commoner like you...

to make you save the Zhao child.

You let me get away.
