Saving General Yang Page #5

Synopsis: Northeast China, early Northern Song dynasty, AD 986. The Khitan army takes its revenge for a past massacre, abducting General Yang Ye (Adam Cheng) and leaving his wife and seven sons to rescue him - and fall into their deadly trap. Led by the first son (Ekin Cheng), the seven - two of whom have never seen combat - set out with a small band of fighters to face an army of thousands, brave the treacherous Wolf Mountain, face the nemesis of their shared history, and find the way back alive - all to bring their father home.

Come.

Slowly, Father. Slowly.

Father!

Father,

I should have listened to you.

I shouldn't have taken part

in that sparring match.

If I hadn't take part,

I wouldn't have got Seventh

Brother into trouble.

A man's temperament

decides his fate.

Seventh Son is too impetuous.

It's all my fault!

I should have stopped him.

I shouldn't have let him

go to the sparring stage.

And I should have stopped

him on Wolf Mountain.

Sixth Son,

when we get back, I want you

to marry Princess Chai.

This is too hard

on you, my sons.

You shouldn't have come to

rescue this useless old man!

Father.. you mustn't

vex yourself.

We still have a ways

to travel tomorrow.

Rest now. We've be home soon.

Lie down, Father.

I'm not worried about

your abilities,

only the complexity

of the situation.

The enemy you face has a

personal feud against you.

And your so-called ally

is a scheming rival.

Betel nut isn't good for you.

You need to cut down.

I need its strength right now.

Third Brother..

Stop!

Who goes there?

I am the seventh son of

General Yang, Yang Yansi.

I have come to see Lord Pan.

Open the gates.

Why didn't you send

reinforcements to help my father?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

You're a Khitan!

Lord Pan! You know me.

I am Yang Yansi, the seventh

son of the Yang Clan.

Lord Pan. I've come here not

expecting to leave alive.

I killed your son.

You can take my life now.

But send troops to

save my father!

You insolent Khitan! Our

empires are at war,

and you dare come here pretending

to be a son of the Yang Clan.

Get out of here!

Shoot!

Good!

Throw him in the river.

Yes, sir!

Father.

Are you looking for me, Yang Ye?

Why do you seek me?

Master Su Wu, have you

seen my son, Yang Yansi?

You mean your seventh son?

He's gone already.

Where did he go? Can

you take me to him?

Look at this, Yang Ye.

This old goat of mine!

He's lame as anything, but

still he keeps going.

He looks as if he's

been badly wounded.

I don't know how

he's still alive.

Alive? Not for long.

This old goat will die today.

Look. Do you know what this is?

Li Ling was defeated by

the Xiongnu, and then

betrayed the Han Empire by

defecting to the enemy.

Who would have erected a

monument to this traitor?

This temple is in Su Wu's name.

And this monument is for Li Ling.

Which do you want, Yang Ye?

Survival or integrity?

I am not worthy of this armor.

Your emperor is good to you.

No other would have sent troops

to rescue a defeated old man.

You must feel proud.

What will happen to

my sons if I die?

If the old goat stays alive,

the young goats cannot thrive.

It's time to put down

your sword and armor.

My Lady!
