Outcast Page #2

there's nothing to be done.

He murdered my father.

Stole the Seal.

If that's the case...

...he will be punished. Accordingly.

It's inexcusable.

Even from a Prince.

Forgive me, General.

My father's murder has

left me overemotional.

They will be heading to Shing Yuing.

Make sure they never get there.

I'm sorry, for what Shing's men did.

He murdered my father, too.

For what, a few coins and a rusty plough?

Does it matter what it was for?

I want to make things better,

for people like you!

Do you think it makes a difference for

people like me - who sits on the throne?

It should. And we change things.

You don't believe me?

I believe you're just a boy,

and Shing Yuing is still faaar away.

And yet, it's closer than yesterday.

We'll make camp here.

I needed that.

Tear of the poppy. Dull the man's senses.

Some things are better dulled.

Our lives and the future of our Kingdom...

...depending upon your wits.

Your Kingdom.

You're far from home.

Are you running? Or searching?

Both.

Your people...

- ...do they believe in Hell?

- We believe in Diyu.

The realm of the Dead.

One is assigned to one of 18 levels.

A place of heart [...]. The Lake of blood.

The punishment fits the crime.

What was yours?

Ohh... there've been many.

We all have our weights to bear.

No doubt, the life of a Princess...

is a heavy burden.

Do you know what it's like - being a woman

in this world?

Do you think watching men destroy

everything you care about bears no weight?

And for what? Pride?

Greed?

You warriors march off

and forge new worlds.

We have to stay behind,

to raise the children.

We have to explain why their

fathers don't return.

And we have to fix the

broken creatures that do.

Do not judge my life.

- When you know nothing about being a woman.

- I'm sorry.

A Princess... is a woman, too.

I am, what you wanted of me.

I did what you needed, but couldn't.

I will have what is mine.

Wake up.

I want to fire arrows like you.

Teach me.

Teach me!

I thought White Devils didn't bathe.

A man picks up bad habits

when he is away from home.

You've been in many battles?

I wish to become a great warrior, too.

My father wanted me to learn from books,

not have to fight.

Teach me!

- Why?

- My father...

Shing must pay.

Please.

Teach me.

Battle is both craft and art.

First you must learn to craft.

Then you push past it, until action and

reaction become instinct. A part of you.

The man who taught you,

was he a great warrior?

Use your back, allright?

Not your shoulders.

Release.

Fire.

Fire!

I'm sorry!

Better.

- You're good with my brother.

- The boy has a good heart and mind.

Like his sister.

If we'd gone East, we'd already

been nearing Shing Yuing.

Where do you think the most of Black Guard

are concentrated?

Once we get past Ching Shao,

there is less chance that they follow.

They follow [...] where

my brother instructs.

In the Silver Mountains there said to be

bandits who despise your brother and his men.

You mean the White Ghost.

Wouldn't he despise us equally?

Quiet, stay low.

We should move on, quickly,

Mount off.

Thank you.

- No thanks.

You're welcome.

Ching Shao.

Everyone will be looking for you.

We need to find a way in.

- Greetings.

- Greetings.

I'm travelling with my mistress and her

servant boy, searching for new company.

You will find us extremely hospitable,

for the right price.

You and your lady are welcome to join us.

She's shy, she enjoys her privacy.

She will enjoy it so much more

in a city full of strangers.

You gave her your gold.

I'll see you are properly rewarded

when we reach Shing Yuing.

Stay calm.

Dismount slowly.

- Out of the cart!

- What seems to be the problem?

We are searching for the

Prince and Princess.

You'll find nothing of interest here.

Let them through!

Come on, let's go.

You did well.

- You should stay with us. - I think my

mistress would prefer to keep travelling.

You're exhausted, and

think of the children.

I have private rooms, your mistress

will appreciate the privacy.

Waht are you looking at?

You are hungrier than you appeared.

Take my guests to clean up.

They must be tired.

Stay.

I have something that may interest you.

Make sure you are fit to travel.

Thank you for your hospitality.

It's all to your health.

This way.

- Are you all right?

- Of course I am.

- He served us well.

- Did anyone say he hasn't?

Now go and get cleaned up.

I want to be ready to leave

first thing tomorrow.

- It's still early.

- Just do as I say, Xiaoli.

If you'll excuse me, I have some business

to attend to.

What did you give me?

Help the man!

Apparently he can't handle his drink.

It's not you they want! They're worth more

money than you've ever seen! Your share alone!

I already have a mistress.

- Come on, you have to go. Come on, now!

- What happened?

Let's go! We've been betrayed.

- Hurry, this way.

- Wait, our horses!

You'll never pass the city gates.

Go to the river and find a boat.

Head downstream, wait for me

at the Silver Mountain.

- There are bandits!

- I know, that's where I was going.

- And you?

- I'll meet you there.

If I don't arrive, Shing Yuing

is a day beyond the mountain.

I don't even know your name.

Please Lian, go. Go now!

Allright, just go.

Untie them all.

Go search the building!

Don't kill him yet!

Where are they? Speak quickly.

Tell me now, or I kill you.

General, Prince Qiang and Princess Lian are on

the river headed toward the Silver M ountains.

Go after them.

Get to the shore!

Run!

Let me go! Let go!

Open your mouth.

It was my choice, I would have let you rot.

- My companions?

- Safe!

The Black Guards are as thick as flies

on a fart [...] ask because of you.

You brought them here.

- How did you find me, lad?

- Nobody goes East.

Remember?

There is few [...] of our

kind beyond Baghdad.

- We need to talk.

- We have nothing to say. - Please.

I should have left you in the woods.

For [...]

But you didn't.

As soon as you can move, you leave.

Gallain. Gallain, please!

- Please. He lives?

- For now.

- You're the outlaw they call the White Ghost?

- I am the White Ghost.

But no one calls me outlaw, child.

Not to my face!

- Your friend sent us here.

- My friend?

And you expect that to count in your favor?

- You saved our lives.

- Well, killing Black Guards, that was no hardship.

Your lives have value.

Yes, my love.

- Shing will pay handsomely for your return.

- Or he might just kill you. Outlaw!

If we escape my brother,

I will be the King.

- How old are you? 10?

- 14!

- And I should help you, because?

- I will give you a reward!

- And you may come down from this mountain!

A free man. - Now, I do not know.

In my experience those who climb to the top only

ever remember they got there by their own effort.

- I won't forget! - Maybe you will,

maybe you won't. I need time to think.

You are lucky my wife likes you.

Where is my wine?!

Free them, they got nowhere to run.
