Venice, Italy. Domingo, January 8, 1324.

Good morning, father.

- Already made the count?

- No

To say God to him never is too much behind schedule.

- Mr. Polo.

- Father.

God hates the man who

they lie on all the things.

It does not die with the weight of

those lies destroying

its inmortal soul.

The man takes the world,

as same he finds it

Although the priest wants

to maintain it in the ignorance.

I went to China,

to the cut of the great Khan.

I served to him, I am

proud of to have served to him.

I fought to his side and

I governed next to him.

S0102rvase, would matter to him? Please.

Ve this?

This small piece of stone

a day will comprise of its world.

The truth

This is what I as much

I have said the truth,

nonlies,

nonfairy tales, the truth.

But not all the truth, single I

I said half to him of which I saw.

Genoa, Italy. 1298.

In last years, the Earth was

destroyed by hambrunas, plagues and wars.

And one of those wars was

between Genoa and Venice.

Two men had been in

prison and was a hell its end.

One of them is Rustigielo of

Pizza, the other is veneciano.

My name is Marco Polo.

- Taking, whiskey.

- Piensas that there will be peace, soon?

Inasmuch as time they will retain to us?

What you create, what opportunities

we must to leave here?

I believe that we will remain here until

somebody pays a guarantee by us.

How long will delay that?

And how we can be safe

that even so they will let to us go?

We will never leave here,

is that you do not understand it?

- The prison is not the aim of the world.

- Ja, truely?

- I Already have been imprisoned once.

- Here, in Genoa?

In China.

- You have been in China?

- And other many places.

Some places not even

known in Europe.

And all those places

they are here, in your mind.

And what there is if I say to you that there am

state in center of the world?

And I have seen the future.

There is no patience in a mind for that.

My trip began here,

when I saw cross those

masts in the port of Venice,

when I was young.

I wanted to know everything on

boats and where there are been and

what class of men and sailors

they mount them, and everything on seas.

My father and my uncle were

venecianos retailers

that they went to the aim of

world to look for gains.

What I wanted to know, was

on the hands that were

fact those beautiful strangers and

things that they negotiated.

I do not touch anything.

There is much gain in

exchanges where no veneciano

- iMarco!

- Or any other man of Europe,

it had before been.

It is massive gold. The great Khan of

China, Kublai Khan us gave it,

it happens safe.

He is the grandson of Ghengis.

- Ghengis Khan?

- The best soldier than the world

it has never seen. Yes.

He was then that I knew

that Chinese it was my destiny.

As it were written, that I would go there.

To where we know, we will make a fortune

negotiating with them.

- Yes.

They have silks and spices and

plates done of materials so

fine that you can, to traverse

of them, to see your hands.

They have caravans of camels

in order to negotiate by all Asia

They have gold and silver and diamonds.

The best craftsmen

and artists of the world.

And so vast cities

that they could be the oceans.

However, the empire of Khan

the West is as rich as nothing.

But we are organizing

the form to return to go.

We have listened that the Pope and the God

Christian, now allows the subjects

Chinese that says to nobody

God that they want.

But, Marco, if the true one

religion will arrive at him, then

While we removed good

gains of our sales

A that serious trip to

another side of the world,

We will pass first by Jerusalem

in order to take oil of the sacred temple

We would go accompanied by 2 priests,

that they would even travel with us

the cut of the great Kublai Khan.

If the sands had

state calm,

our trip had been easier,

so we were ourselves forced a

to travel crossing earth.

In spite of the dangers.

I was young, did not feel the fatigue to me

and it was arranged to change my

life does not matter what cost.

Very exhausted they were

men when they began a

to see first mountains.

The top of the world,

with both priests

complaining strongly to each step.

Noncontinuous, neither a step the more.

We know that to the Khan

he offered 100 priests

we only have two to offer to him

and you want to return

to Venice with the tail

between the legs.

- All we are going to die here.

The trip is too hard.

- Who knows if to that Kublai Khan

it exists. You have your merchandise

in order to interchange, they gave us

its word by that interest

no Pope has had an opportunity

like this, thousands of souls need

its aid, the faith of the world is going to change.

- We promised two you cure.

- Maffeo.

We almost are

dying in these mountains

- iPara!

- Of insurance we will die.

And if we did not die here, nobody knows

Which is the end of this trip?

We know. It is the opportunity

to change the course of history

where nobody has been able to arrive.

Venecianos you single want

the fame, is codiciosos men.

- You only create in gold.

- And this he takes to his son to his death.

In name of those wealth.

- Pope.

- I came by my own will.

- Your father is risking your life,

by a fairy tale.

It was there. It saw

Khan with its own eyes

And also it saw dragoons, ah. And

unicornios and horses with wings,

Who is he? , a mentiroso,

a bad man or an idiot.

Or the three things.

- Marco.

Jalos to go, jalos to go. Thus

we will not have to do them more.

The priest can be in the certain thing.

Perhaps all we die in the attempt.

Perhaps we would have to send

to the return boy.

All those histories that told me

on the earth that knew,

on which they saw in China,

I want to see them by my same one.

Eh, Marco.

You come from there,

of the top of the world?

- Yes.

- It is why it does not have forces

in order to fight

fever that has contracted.

- You can help it?

- There are a grass that diminishes

the heat in its blood.

He is everything what we can do,

others are not in our hands.

That it finds its way of return.

We will not advance, we must hope by him.

The Maffeo uncle wanted to leave me

there and to continue with the trip,

but my father refused to continue.

For a complete month nobody

viviria or moriria knew to I if.

- Still you want to go

to China with your father?

It sees zale Wing and dale

thanks that still you are alive

Sabes at the most must advance?

And what type of welcome is going to have?

The papa blessed in trip, and we have

figures blessed in Jerusalem

The papa must be a great one

man in its own earth

its God is represented

in all Earth

Pero Kublai Khan has

a so great empire

that not even the Great one

Alexander could dream.

What has uncivilized ones

that to offer to him to him?

- What has father to offer to him?

- When my father returned to Venice,

nobody believed to him, they said that

they were histories of travellers nothing else.
