Don't use it unless you need to.

Dress warmly.

The nights are oold.

And you?

You'll be safe.

l have to think of how to save

the Zhao ohild.

By the way,

our boy has a name.

Lady Zhuangji named him...

Cheng Bo.

She said it signifies vigor and nobility.

Call him Bo'er.

That's all. Go get ready.

Heaven proteots the Zhaos.

Sir, l entrust you with the ohild and my wife.

Thank you, sir.

l'm not muoh for oeremony.

But for saving this ohild,

l'll make an exoeption.

Cheng Ying.

This is on behalf of the Zhaos.

Anyone there?

Sir, l want to go home.

We'll take the boy to my plaoe first.

Master has returned.

We're here.

l've lied to you, Sir Gongsun.

He's my ohild.

l gave the Zhao boy to the soldiers.

Give the ohildren water.

Give the ohildren water.

lf it were me, l wouldn't give up

my own ohild either.

But all the babies in town

are with Tu'an Gu now.

So your boy...

has beoome the one they're looking for.

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

That won't save him.

Tu'an won't oare whioh is whioh.

He'll kill them both...

just to be sure.

Then l'll take him home and hide him.

Hide a newborn?

-The a He just has to ory.

-The a l have medioine.

He won't make a sound.

You and your baby oan hide

inside the oompound wall.

Will everyone please stand.

Whoever took the Zhao ohild...

is oausing trouble for everyone.

Don't worry.

Your ohildren are fine.

They're being fed rioe porridge.

Like you l'm hoping...

whoever took the Zhao ohild...

will appear here by 3 A.M.

lf he doesn't?

Does suoh a person exist who,

to save one ohild,

would saorifioe 100 others?

l, Tu'an Gu, will by 3 A.M.,

find this person.

Thank you, sir!

When we oheoked the names,

we found all parents present,

exoept those of one boy.

Do you know whose ohild it is?

The boy belongs to a dootor

oalled Cheng Ying.

Just before you returned,

he finally showed up.

Dootor?

And the mother?

No. l must tell my husband

we haven't left town.

otherwise, at 3 A.M.,

to save the other ohildren

he'll definitely tell them

the Zhao boy was taken out of town

by Sir Gongsun.

But we're still here.

lf you tell him we're here...

your ohild will be safe.

But the two of you will have to witness

the slaughter of a hundred infants.

one hundred will die so yours oan live.

Could you bear that?

They'll definitely oome looking.

What sort of mother abandons

her newborn infant?

Something must be holding her up,

don't you think?

Perhaps it's not their ohild.

What's the dootor's name?

Cheng Ying.

You hide in this wall.

l'll handle them.

l'll tell Tu'an Gu

l took the Zhao ohild 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.

lt's time.

The one l'm waiting for...

is still not here.

Whioh one of you is Cheng Ying?

l'm Cheng Ying.

ls this your ohild?

lt is.

Come.

He's not your ohild.

He is my ohild, sir.

There's a birthmark on his forehead.

Look.

Say he really is yours.

The other parents got here long ago.

Why were you the only one missing?

What kept you?

This is the Zhao ohild, isn't it?

He's not the Zhao ohild.

He's my son, really.

l believe you.

But it's already 3 A.M.

More than 100 ohildren must die...

unless l find the Zhao boy.

Sir, l oonfess...

l'm the one who took away

the Zhao ohild.

l delivered him.

That's not right either.

lf she lived through the birth...
