Space.

Up until now, only governmental

agencies like NASA have been able to send

people into space, but not anymore.

No sir.

We are going to space.

Now, before you say anything, yes,

I am wearing a Poe Dameron suit, but

we are talking about space.

Space startups to be more exact.

Companies like Virgin Galactic and

SpaceX are trying to send people into

space and things into space affordably.

Actually, Virgin Orbit has invited

me to their facilities, so let's go.

We're going to Los Angeles.

I'm here at the Virgin Orbit plant and

this is the cafeteria.

You can see people eating and I obviously

want to show you everything else, but it's

going on over there and it's top secret.

But hey, there's the CEO.

So my friend Mingxi here,

is a Materials Engineers.

- Materials engineer basically means

I deal with anything having to do with

whatever anything is made out, but

I focus especially on metals.

- So what's make your rockets different

from like SpaceX's rocket.

- Couple things, so first of all, our

rocket is much smaller than SpaceX's for

example.

We're launching from a Boeing 747 airplane

so basically, it's gonna fly up into the air

basically how we would normally fly a plane,

and then we're gonna drop a rocket from

the wing, and

then the engines are gonna fire, and

then we're gonna go in the orbit.

This actually means we have more

flexibility launching from anywhere

we want in the world.

So we can literally pickup a payload

from anywhere say, if we had a Canadian

customer, from middle of Canada.

And then straight from there,

fly to where we need to launch

from instead of currently most launch

vehicles are limited to just Florida.

- Is launching from midair different

from launching from the ground in terms

of weather and stuff like that?

- In a way, yes.

We do get better conditions in that we do

have better control in where we can take

it so we're not limited to,

we have to stay in one place and

we have to deal with the weather there.

We can kind of choose where to go there.

- Have you ever been on the plane?

- I have not, but we are sitting on

the seats from the plane,

that's basically the same thing.

- We're basically on a plane.

- We're basically on a plane.

- Gonna launch a rocket, BRB.

Thanks Mingxi.

- Yeah good to see you again.

- See you in space.

- See you there.

- (Laugh) - Okay.

Okay, now I'm going to go see some people to

talk about how this space start up

thing actually works.

But not this guy.

He doesn't know much.

So I am here in the middle of

the Virgin Orbit plant with

Will the VP of Special Projects.

- Hi everyone.

- So I wanted to ask why are startups

now trying to get into space.

- Well, I think space has always been

fascinating to people for

lots of different reasons.

Whether it's just personal significance,

or scientific, or social, or military, or

whatever else.

The thing that's changing

now is it's becoming a lot cheaper.

- How is it cheaper?

So what got cheaper?

- Well, technology got cheaper.

So as everything gets smaller,

as everything gets faster

as everything gets lighter weight.

Those kind of innovations, a lot of which

were born in the space industry and

then sort of got perfected in other

industries, are starting

to flow back into the commercial space.

- So what kind of companies

would wanna partake?

- It's lots of different companies.

So if I look just at our customer

manifests here at Virgin Orbit,

first of all NASA's a customer of ours.

They're a really important

customer of ours.

But we've got lots of other different

types of customers as well.

One of the ones we're most excited about

is privately funded company called OneWeb,

and they're going to be launching

hundreds of satellites that they'll use to

provide high bandwidth, low latency

broadband internet connectivity

all over the surface of the earth.

- How affordable is Virgin Orbit?

- So let's say right now you've got

a satellite and you've got a briefcase

full of cash out in the trunk of your car.

- Yeah. - First of all,

let's talk about that.

That's pretty exciting.

But also, if you were to go to another

rocket company right now and wanna fly,

you're gonna have to wait a couple years.

And you're going to have to fork

over $50 plus million.

What we're trying to do is get that down

from 50-ish to 12-ish and to make from you

have to wait for several years, three or

four years, down to you have to wait for

a couple months before you

can get your satellite into orbit.

- So you've worked with

Virgin Galactic as well?

- Yeah. So, space tourism is

something that everyone wants to do.

So, I heard on the news,

like Katy Perry and

Justin Bieber bought tickets?

How is that feasible?

How can you bring people to space in like

a big, bus tour kind of way?

- It's going to space,

but only just barely.

We're going to get you to the official

border of space and a little further

than that So you get the full experience,

you earn your astronaut wings.

You're official, a legitimate astronaut.

But by keeping the distance we're

travelling a little bit lower

it lowers our costs.

And then also it means that from a medical

perspective, just about everyone is

healthy enough to fly on that vehicle.

When can we expect it?

- It's pretty soon now so you've gotten

the chance to see some of the hard work

here in the Virgin Orbit facility.

As you can tell we're

getting pretty close.

We've built several full rockets worth of

material.

We've been testing them for

a long time out in the desert.

We've been firing our rocket engines at

a very long duration at full thrust so

our hope is we'll be flying our

first satellites all the way

into orbit in the first half of next year.

- Wow. - And our sister company

Virgin Galactic similar kind of thing.

We've got a lot more testing to do before

we're comfortable putting passengers in

the back of it, but we're getting there.

- Are people who go to space with

Virgin Galactic considered astronauts?

- Yeah, absolutely.

So here in the United States anyone

who exceeds and

altitude of 50 miles above mean sea level

you're considered an astronaut.

-Can I get a free ticket?

- Yeah, we can talk.

We need to do some kind of a media junket.

You gotta be able to go up and

write the good reviews, right?

- All right Will,

nice to talk to you.

- Thanks for coming to visit us.

- Guys, look at how cool this is.

Bye guys.

All right, I just got back and

it's super cool.

Who would have thought

that space could be a startup idea?

Just a couple years ago, even the thought

of sending things into space seemed like

a billion, multi trillion dollar idea.

And now, they're

trying to send people into space for

hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That's so cool!

And he did say he's going to launch

that satellite rocket next year.

So, it seems like

big things are happening.

And, Will did promise me that

Virgin Galactic ticket,

so I'm going to hold him to that.

You're going to see me become

an astronaut, just you wait.

All right, guys, I'm out.

I'll see you later, bye.

I'm gonna go build a rocket now, bye.

Living Hope in Bible Prophecy - Duration: 26:30.

This world is dangerous like never before.

North Korea and Iran are pursuing the nuclear bomb.

Europe is quietly building a dominant superpower.

China and Russia pose daily threats to world security.

But there is hope.

Discover how the pages of your Bible contain the solutions to all of mankind's problems

next, on The Key of David, with Gerald Flurry.

Last month, Key of David presenter Gerald Flurry commenced a series of two-night personal

appearance campaigns in cities across North America.

The first stop on Mr. Flurry's continental tour was Chicago.

The following program is adapted from a lecture he gave to Philadelphia Trumpet newsmagazine

subscribers on the first night of that trip.

I've been here to Chicago many times, and it's really great to be here with you again,

and this is a special place for us.

We have a daily television program here, and also a weekly or Sunday program, and the good

news is that really the overall response in this city is better than any city in the U.S.,

and a lot of that is attributed of course to the daily television program.

But I do thank you; many of you I know are supporting this work in a number of ways and

we thank you for that, and it IS gaining in power, and we ARE reaching out around the

world in ways that we have not before.

I thought since the time is limited that I would like to get into a little bit of the

news to talk to you about a few events, and if you look at and really know and understand

world news, you know there's a lot of people that are hopeless in this world.

Where is it all leading?

And what does this all mean?

It is something that God has made clear to us and I'm sure in well over a hundred Bible

prophecies, and there isn't any REASON for us not understanding that.

Mr. Armstrong taught it and we've certainly been teaching it.

I just heard yesterday that college students have, as their number-one problem, anxiety;

now young people with anxiety, which is kind of like a byproduct of fear or hopelessness,

and that's amazing that it's that way.

It's not that way at OUR college.

It really isn't!

If you have a chance you can come down and check us out and we'll show you.

It is different, and it has to be different or our young people are not going to have

hope, or nobody else is going to have hope.

But I'm talking about a LIVING hope that Bible prophecy brings to ANYBODY that really understands

it, a LIVING hope.

Peter talked about that so much of the time.

We have ALL KINDS of problems.

I mean really, really SCARY problems if you just look at this, let's say, apart from God,

you can see why people are disturbed, anxious, fearful, hopeless, and it's getting bad, well,

worse and worse and worse, and it's getting that way very fast.

And if you know anything about news, you know that; I don't have to tell you that.

You've been reading about Kim Jong Un, a famous guy on the world scene, or infamous; however

you want to look at that I guess.

But he has now created an ICBM missile, which is an intercontinental ballistic missile,

and all he has to do is put a nuclear warhead on that, and he can reach the United States

now, so they say.

Now, that's scary when you think about this guy.

And we are his number-one enemy, although we've given him all kinds of money, and that's

a little hard to understand, but that's the way it is.

And he shot off this missile, this ICBM, on July 4th.

So this man who is, SURELY most people would say is mad, was taunting us with nuclear weapons

on July 4th, our Independence Day.

Now, that's something that we need to be concerned about.

Charles Krauthammer, one of the TV commentators, said, well, every president has been kicking

this problem with Kim Jong Un down the road, and he said, now we've come to the end of

the road.

Now, that's, if you know what he's talking about, you know we're facing a nuclear problem

that, if it's started is going to become a nuclear nightmare.

It's HARD to even describe how bad that is.

I mean if you look at Vladimir Putin, he has a MISSILE, one missile, nuclear missile, that

can totally destroy the whole state of Texas, or Illinois.

And you have to say, well, now SOMETHING is very different about this age, and Jesus Christ

said EXACTLY that.

It is very different!

And He said if He didn't return, there would be no flesh saved alive.

Now, that's something you and I need to be concerned about, for our children, for our

families or however you look at it.

We need to be deeply concerned about this.

And incidentally Kim Jong Un's ICBM is on a mobile launcher, so you can't even know

where it's going to be launched from.

How do you deal with a problem like that?

Now, he has given, according to intelligence reports, most of his, well, whatever he's

doing over there, he gives to Iran.

Now, Iran has made it very clear that we're his number-one enemy.

He, too, is about to get nuclear weapons.

What are you going to do when people like that get nuclear weapons?

He believes that his version of the Messiah will come EVEN SOONER if they create more

violence and more unrest, according to all their own teachings.

These people with nuclear weapons, you just cannot push that aside and say, well, it's

not such a big deal.

But it IS a big deal, and what are we going to do about it?

I want to show you a scripture in a moment that I think is probably the most inspiring,

hope-filled scripture in the Bible, and there are a LOT of them.

What is God doing about all this?

What is He GOING to do?

Well, He's going to have to stop it or there wouldn't be anybody left.

So something is terribly wrong with the leadership of this world.

God says those of us who will get out and do this work BEFORE the Second Coming of Jesus

Christ are going to RULE over the nations.

Now, that's a great promise that God has given us RULE over the nations!

But you do have to do some preparing, and you do have to really get in step with God

to be able to do that.

You know that.

I think that's basic Bible understanding.

Benjamin Netanyahu came to Congress and he had this to say, I'll just paraphrase it.

He said, "Look, Iran is not just a Jewish problem."

Six million Jews were killed in World War II, but 60 MILLION people were killed!

How many BILLIONS do you think we'll kill in a World War III?

I mean, this is just hard to even FATHOM, when you think about it.

No WONDER young people are anxious and fearful and hopeless!

If they haven't been taught, well, hey, I think I'd be going crazy if I were that age

and trying to survive in this world.

But if you think Iran, who is the number-one terrorist-sponsoring nation in the world,

if you think they're dangerous NOW, what is it going to be LIKE when they have nuclear

weapons?

There are several U.S. leaders think that China will somehow rein in this Kim Jong Un

because he provides 90 percent of their goods, but China's not trying to rein in North Korea.

If they HAD been, why in all these 30 years haven't they reined them in?

They don't WANT to, and they're building all kinds of military bases right out in the middle

of the South China Sea, and as I recall I think it's $5 trillion worth of trade goes

through that sea, and if you can control trade, you can control nations.

And let me tell you, those people are building up power, China, to use it because they want

to rule the world!

And here I'm sitting to a group of people today that God is inviting to do just that!

And we're not getting violent, we're not doing anything.

But God is going to have the firstfruits, as He calls them, ready to help Him rule the

world when Christ returns.

Now, that's biblical in a NUMBER of places in the Bible.

If you know very much about the Bible, you know that's true.

So that's a sea gate that God gave to Britain, and you could say, America, because we are

the birthright nations, and He just gave those sea gates "of your enemies," He says.

And now we don't have them.

We've lost them, and everything is looking very, very bleak, to say the least.

The Bible says we're in the "times of the Gentiles."

Now, God loves ALL of us, and He's no respecter of persons, but He does have a TIMEFRAME and

a TIME PLAN, which I'll talk about more, tomorrow night.

But there is ANOTHER nuclear power I want to mention and that is the Holy Roman Empire

in Europe, and you don't really hear much about them at all, and yet that empire could

be developed within MONTHS, and perhaps even weeks.

And THEY are the ones that are going to do the most destruction in this world.

They're going to be the most deadly with their nuclear weapons, because they have them, and

certainly France has them and has offered to share them with Germany, so they have nuclear

weapons.

And they also absolutely DOMINATE Europe today, and God wants it that way.

He wants US to learn a lesson.

But the most phenomenal thing to me, in a way, is God even talks about, says, look,

when you see ALL of this is just a WASTELAND, then they're going to get to know God.

It takes SO MUCH to get people to know God.

Sometimes we've ALL had to be tried and tested if we're trying to obey God because it takes

that to get to know God, but it shouldn't take nuclear holocaust and that kind of a

crucible of nuclear power to get us to change and get to know God.

And that applies to those that are even dead.

They're going to get their chance, and I'll talk about that some tomorrow night, as well.

But here we have Russia, and now they've taken over Ukraine.

Why, these people really are gobbling up territory.

Now they're in Syria and having a great influence in the Middle East, far more than what WE

are.

So where IS there hope?

Where do you find hope in all of that?

If that's just all you have, I don't see how anybody could have hope.

I just don't see how they could have hope.

But look what God says!

Christ HAVING to come to save us alive and save mankind alive, but He goes on down in

verse 32 and verse 33, you might want to read this later, He said, now, look, let's just

look at the fig tree.

When the fig tree puts on leaves, you know summer is near.

And when you SEE these things coming to pass, you KNOW that it's right at the door, right

at the door!

And then that happens to be OUR responsibility, to know it's at the door.

Who's going to show you it's at the door?

Only God can do that.

No man can do that.

God can do it THROUGH men, but you have to look to God, and that's what we all are striving

to do I think.

But do you think nuclear madness is at the door?

We've never seen anything like this EVER before in our lives.

And not only is prophecy being fulfilled, but it's RACING along.

It says in Revelation 10 and verse 6 that there's no more delay.

God says that, that's the way it reads in Greek.

No more delay!

There have been delays in the past, but not anymore.

You just see a lightning-speed development of TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PROBLEMS.

Where is it going to end?

You people in Chicago KNOW about problems, just like we do in any other area of the world.

We ALL have problems.

But fulfilled Bible prophecy is THE major proof that God exists, and the Bible is His

inspired word.

It says in Jeremiah 28 and verse 9: "[W]hen the word of the prophet shall come to pass,"

then you shall KNOW, "that the LORD hath truly sent him."

If it comes to pass, well of course, God had to send him because MAN doesn't know what's

going to happen.

I can't tell you anything that's going to happen unless God reveals it to me or to you

in an indirect way.

We have to go to God.

And I just marvel that ALL this is going on, and I can't find anybody that REALLY, let's

say, the TV commentators, that REALLY gets down and talks about this REALITY.

The number-one problem we face today is that of human survival.

Why don't we discuss human survival?

How do you survive, humanly?

There's only one way.

If there's no God, we're not going to survive.

But there IS a God, and He's letting us go our own way to SEE that we CANNOT rule ourselves!

You know, those of you who've lived a while, you KNOW you can't solve your problems.

I couldn't.

I just made a DISASTER of my life, trying to do things my way, and I had to learn, well,

that's never going to work.

But here's that scripture I want to show you.

Daniel 12, verses 4 and 9 talks about the book being just for the end time; it's not

for any other time.

It's for THIS end time, and I want to read to you what it says about this MAGNIFICENT

reward that God's going to give us.

You can see Daniel 2 and verse 28.

Now, in Daniel 2 and verse 36 it talks about the dream that Nebuchadnezzar had, and then

he had Daniel come and reveal to him what it meant.

Daniel said there's a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and so he said, "Thou, O king, art

a king of kings," or the first one; that would be the head.

And then he goes on to talk in verse 39 about then the Persian Empire would be there, and

then on down to Alexander's empire, and then we come to the legs, which is the Roman Empire.

You have five from the east and five from the west, and that's what THAT'S all about.

But you'll notice this guy has ten toes, ten toes.

And those ten toes face Jesus Christ and He SMASHES that image till it's just blown with

the wind.

There's a little horn that rules over this Holy Roman Empire, the last seven Holy Roman

Empires, which is a false church, and that's why it's called the "Holy" Roman Empire.

Otto van Habsburg knew Mr. Armstrong REALLY well, came to the campus in Pasadena, and

he died not too long ago, but he was a member of the European Parliament, and he had this

to say: "The European community is living largely by the heritage of the Holy Roman

Empire," now, how many people know that?

Well, he said, "though the great majority of the people who live by it don't KNOW by

what heritage they live."

They don't even KNOW they're living by the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire YET.

They will before it's over, but he also said: "We possess a European symbol, which belongs

to all nations of Europe equally.

This is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne."

Charlemagne, he led the First Reich, Hitler led the Third Reich, if you want to know about

this tradition of Charlemagne, and Charlemagne just bloodied up Europe and rivers of blood

flowed as he converted people to his religion.

And today they want the tradition of Charlemagne.

Now if they really understood, if people really understood what that means they'd be scared,

and they ought to be because, remember, Germany has been in the GRIP of this Holy Roman Empire

and it's caused the great German people MISERY time and time again, and the whole WORLD.

But that's just the way things work out in Satan's world.

But look at verse 44 of Daniel 2.

This is in the context of this image.

Now, what IF you have this image, you've got the four world-ruling empires, and then the

ten resurrections of the Roman Empire, which the last seven are the Holy Roman Empires,

what does God do to END all this?

This is how it has gone with man.

But you'd have to say, well, now, God must have a hand in that, because how does it turn

out to be a great image like that?

Do you think God didn't have something to do with that?

Well, Nebuchadnezzar certainly learned He did, and he had to eat grass like a cow for

seven years to learn that the God of heaven RULES in the kingdom of men.

He RULES in the kingdom of men, whenever He chooses to.

Sometimes He'll put wicked rulers in for a purpose.

God lives, and people ought to know that, and we ought to know that, and that's the

most wonderful way of life you could ever even DREAM about!

And we need to know that.

In verse 44, here's what it says: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven

set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other

people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for

ever."

Now, this DATES it.

"In the days of these kings," those ten toes right there.

I mean, that's the last one.

"In the days of these kings, the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom, which shall NEVER

be destroyed."

See, it's about over!

It's about over!

But notice the inspiring part of this verse.

It says this fifth kingdom of God, really about all you ever hear about are the four

kingdoms.

But the four kingdoms without the fifth kingdom are MEANINGLESS spiritually.

It's just titillating the human nature I guess to get into that, but that's the way it is.

But it says in this verse it "shall not be left to other people."

See, that's the problem with this image and this world.

The RULE has been left to other people other than God's people!

God says, "I'm going to build and develop rulers.

If they'll come out before Jesus Christ returns.

I'm going to make them kings and priests forever, to rule and sit on the very throne of Jesus

Christ as the Bride of Christ."

Now, that is PHENOMENAL when you think about it.

Who could ever give you a better reward than that?

Nobody could even get close.

Now, that is SPECTACULAR when you think about it.

ANYBODY who will just step out!

You see, God's no respecter of persons, and if you know the Bible, you know that.

He gave His only begotten Son to die, and be savaged, be beaten and marred more than

any man, and I'll talk a little bit more about that tomorrow night, so that we might become

members of His Family FOREVER!

And what a REWARD He gives us!

He says, "I'm going to make you RULERS over nations if you'll let Me teach you and prepare

you, and you'll get behind My work and give your LIFE to it, as Christ did."

He said, "My meat, or my special delight," that is, Christ said that, "is to do the will

of My Father and finish His work."

That was why He came to this Earth, to proclaim the Father and His Family.

And so God is offering us this.

He's offering YOU this.

Now you know, if you study that, you KNOW if He says He'll give you that, He'll give

it to you.

There isn't any way God will ever go back on His word.

Every word that He says comes to pass, and you can prove that.

We're not asking you to believe anything unless you prove it.

The Bible says, "Prove all things."

But this scripture is just one of the most beautiful scriptures in all the Bible, and

to think that ugly, ugly image in Daniel 2 is going to be just OBLITERATED and blown

away with the wind!

It's amazing; it's just going to be gone!

Thank God for that, that it's all going to be gone.

The Apostle Peter was crucified just two or three years before the A.D. 70 holocaust in

Jerusalem.

That disaster was only a type of the coming Great Tribulation, about to explode on the

world scene today.

Before his death, Peter knew his time on Earth was coming to an end.

Many of his closest friends had already been killed in a storm of persecution targeting

God's Church.

In spite of all this bad news, Peter had a message filled with hope.

Taylor Swift Testifies that Groping was 'Horrifying and Shocking' | Pop Star Against David Mueller - Duration: 3:11.

Taylor Swift testified in a Denver court Thursday, saying that she was "completely sure" former

radio host David Mueller intentionally sexually assaulted her during a 2013 press photo.

Swift appeared on the stand for roughly an hour, CNN reports, after her mother Andrea

Swift also testified about the alleged incident.

"It was a definite grab ... A very long grab.

He grabbed my ass underneath my skirt," Swift said on the stand.

She called the 2013 incident "horrifying and shocking."

The singer further asserted that Mueller grabbed her on purpose, rejecting Mueller's claim

that their interaction was random or rushed.

"This was not jostling.

We were perfectly in position for the photograph to be taken," said Swift.

"What Mr. Mueller did was very intentional."

Swift said that at the time, she continued the meet-and-greet because she didn't want

to disappoint her fans.

She said she first mentioned the alleged groping to her photographer, Stephanie Simbeck, 15

minutes after it occurred.

Swift added she had no reaction to learning that Mueller had been fired for the alleged

behavior.

"I'm not going to allow you or your client to make me feel in anyway that this is my

fault because it isn't," she said.

"I am being blamed for the unfortunate events of his life that are a product of his decisions

and not mine."

On Tuesday, Mueller testified saying that he never touched Swift.

In the photo, it appears Mueller's hand was placed near Swift's backside.

Mueller said he may have accidentally touched Swift's body while he was trying to get in

the photo.

"My hand came into contact with part of her body," Mueller said.

"I felt what appeared to be a ribcage or rib.

… And it went behind her, and her hand, or arm, went behind my arm."

Swift later countered: "He did not touch my rib, he did not touch my hand, he grabbed

my bare ass," per Buzzfeed.

Swift's mother, Andrea Swift, testified in court Wednesday, recalling how she reacted

after her daughter told her Mueller had groped her during that 2013 meet-and-greet.

"I was upset to the extent that I was feeling like I wanted to vomit and cry at the same

time," she said.

"He sexually assaulted her," Swift's mother said, pointing to Mueller.

"Right there.

That guy.

I heard it from my daughter's mouth.

I know that it happened."

The legal battle has occurred for nearly two years after the radio DJ sued Swift, her mother

and her radio promotions director Frank Bell, in 2015, alleging that they had pressured

KYGO to fire him following the 2013 accusation of sexual misconduct.

(He admitted Tuesday that various supervisors at KYGO had discussed the possibility of letting

him go prior to his encounter with Swift.)

Swift filed a countersuit one month later accusing Mueller of sexual assault for reaching

under her dress and grabbing her bottom while they posed for the photo.

The civil trial is expected to last nine days.

BREAKING: Clintons Caught In Major $5 Billion N. Korea Scandal | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:27.

With the entire world on edge over North Korea' promised missile launch targeting Guam, Americans

would be shocked to realize the reason that Kim Jong-un has nuclear missiles in the first

place is thanks to the Clintons.

As President Clinton prepared to confront North Korea in 1994, ex-president and self-appointed

peacemaker Carter went to Pyongyang to negotiate a sellout deal – give the North Koreans

two new nuclear reactors and $5 billion in aid if they promised to quit seeking nuclear

weapons.

More details on this collusion are available from The New York Post.

What did Clinton do in the aftermath of this sellout?

He celebrated the appeasement as achieving "an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation

on the Korean Peninsula."

Carter's effort resulted in his winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Look where we are now.

American leaders should learn from history.

If Chamberlain's appeasement policy didn't stop Hitler from lusting for more power, why

would a similar tactic work for North Korea?

For some reason, Clinton and Carter felt that history didn't apply to them and this time

would be different.

Threatening to engulf Japan and South Korea in "a sea of fire" back in 1994, North

Korea's threatening language is not a recent novelty.

As the CIA reported that North Korea had built nuclear warheads, Carter tried to placate

the communist regime in hopes that it would quell their thirst for nuclear armaments.

It didn't.

In fact, the appeasement only served to embolden the despotic regime.

In 2002, the North Koreans revealed that they had been violating the accord from day one!

Four years later, Pyongyang detonated its first nuclear missile.

The Obama administration simply carried on from the Clintons in kicking this can down

the road for as long as they possibly could.

They made statements, such as they would never "accept" a nuclear North Korea, while

actually doing nothing about it.

Similar sentiments were expressed about Iran, but John Kerry later orchestrated a deal that

almost guaranteed the nation's nuclear ascendancy.

Thanks to a complete lack of effort for over 20 years from different administrations, North

Korea is now in a position to strike at the U.S. island territory of Guam in just a few

days.

A population of just over 160,000 at potential risk.

Should the worst case scenario play out and a missile hit this isolated island, it won't

be President Trump's fault, but rather, those of Obama's, Clinton's, and Carter's.

One military expert said, however, that "currently, there is no unusual movement related to a

direct provocation."

Sentiments like these are echoed by other analysts across the world.

North Korea is "trying to ratchet up the threat to create political pressure in the

US and elsewhere to get talks," said Carl Schuster, Hawaii Pacific University professor,

according to CNN.

Policies of appeasement indicate either a lack of willingness, courage, or moral character

to recognize that a situation needs to be dealt with promptly, and not simply passed

down to future generations hoping it won't be an issue in their lifetime.

Thankfully, Chamberlains are no longer in the White House.

Instead, America has its own Churchill in President Trump.

He will fight when necessary instead of settling for empty platitudes.

Episode 78 - Final Episode

To live as long as the heavens and the earth, to be as bright as the sun and moon. - Wading Across the River, Nine Chapters by Qu Yuan

I face my back on Xiapu while I look west thinking about Yingdu, (T/N: Xiapu is a location, east of Yingdu)

my home and the capital have gradually gotten farther away and my heart grieves.

Climbing atop the high riverbank to gaze far,

it briefly soothes my worried mind and heart. - Kill!

The land is vast and people live in peace here, yet it brings me grief.

So too do the ancient customs on the both river shores.

I have been unhappy for a long time,

grief and distress tightly interlocking with each other.

The road back to Ying Du is so very far,

the Yangtze and Xia Rivers, I am unable to cross.

Sent away because I am no longer trusted,

that was nine years ago.

No matter how far the birds fly, they'll return to their homeland.

When a fox is dying it'll turn it's head to the hill where it was born.

I really was not banished for a crime,

there is not a day where I can forget my home.

The country is the mother, we are all the children of the country.

His Majesty is of the highest esteem, we are all his soldiers.

If the nation falls into trouble, throw our bodies in to assist it.

Many thousands of people to carry it.

Mother. Your son . . is here to see you.

The entire house of Qu . . . we give our lives to serve our nation.

Father.

I . . . have not shamed the House of Qu.

Against the summer shoreside, oh! The thoughts pouring in.

Grieving the days in the capital that seem so distant now.

Not so hard! You stupid servants. Hurry up!

Hurry and go! What use is there in keeping this stuff?

I stuck my neck out for the State of Chu, yet this is all I have.

If I don't take it with me, what will you eat?

Hurry up! Hurry up!

I'll talk to him.

G-general Bai.

Minister Jing is about to travel far?

I knew you entered the city

s-so I packed everything into boxes to g-give to you.

O-o-open it! Open it!

Do you think I came all the way to Yingdu just for these things?

General, spare us!

I thought you were all as tough as Chancellor Zhao!

I never imagined there'd be cowardly beasts like you.

These things are supposed to be mine anyway.

If you have any backbone left, perhaps I will spare you.

-General, spare me! -Men!

Take Jing Po into the army. He will be a servant for life!

Yes!

General, spare me!

General, spare me! Spare me!

General, spare us!

Killing you defenseless servants and women

is not my style.

Let's go.

Thank you, General Bai!

The road is boundless, cultivation so distant.

I shall explore it from beginning to end.

Qu Soul

Child.

Leave here tomorrow.

The further you go, the better.

Sir, are you not going to leave?

The State of Chu is here.

You should leave.

Then I won't leave either.

No.

Child,

I'm not leaving because of the State of Chu's death,

for the State of Chu's King.

You all leaving is for the State of Chu's future.

The possibility of the State of Chu's prosperity.

Remember what I said.

If one day, the State of Qin really takes over the State of Chu,

as long as the water and mountains of Chu are still here,

the real soul of the State of Chu is still here.

Ere creation, who could tell all the changes that befell?

What strange arts can be employed, to know what passed when all was void?

Ere light and darkness merged in space, who can fathom what took place?

Things impalpable that swarmed, who can tell how they were formed?

How can it be that day and light, can be born of dark and night?

Female power, power male, by what force did they prevail?

That's good.

It is good to have you here to guard it.

Respectfully greeting Master Qu.

General Bai, you are a world-famous general.

Everyone knows of your burning and killing tactics.

I am only an old man, how can I accept your greeting?

How ridiculous!

The General is a rare talent in this world! How could you be so rude?

My King has always admired your talent.

At Wu Guan, he already wanted to invite you to be his Chancellor.

You had quickly refused.

Now, the State of Chu will be destroyed soon.

You have great talent with nowhere to express it.

Since it is like that, will you change your mind

and join hands with my King?

My State of Chu is going to be destroyed by Qin hands.

Yet you still want me to be the Chancellor of Qin!

The land is unkept, the soul has left the country.

My hands can not be of any more use but to play my zither.

I'm afraid these hands will never hold the sword with the people's blood again.

I will give you a day to think it over.

Tomorrow morning, if you still won't agree,

even if I agree, my brothers

will not agree.

Watch him well.

-Yes. -Yes.

When I first met you, you were sixteen years old.

That time, I still had a full head of black hair.

In the blink of an eye.

Father!

My hair has become white.

Aren't I the same?

Recently, I've been dreaming a lot.

I dream of the King.

I dream of Bixia.

I dream of my father, my mother, and my big brother.

And Shu'er. Everyone of Qu descent,

is as if it were only yesterday,

were alive and lively.

But once I wake up,

they are gone.

They are all gone.

All that is left are broken memories.

In these ten years in Miluo City,

I've thought through a lot of things.

Even if I don't understand some things,

-I won't look at them anymore. -Don't look.

But the happy thing is,

during these years, I've had you by my side.

We've known each other for so long.

Yet we have always kept our distance and were never able to be with one another at our times of need.

Actually, I've always wanted to ask you.

Have you ever regretted meeting me?

I definitely do not regret it.

I don't regret it either.

It's snowing.

Look.

It's snowing!

Do you like snow?

Tomorrow is Duanwu . (T/N The "Double Fifth", fifth lunar month, fifth day, varies from May 30th to mid-June)

Snow on Duanwu . I'm afraid it's not a good sign.

Will you agree to join the King of Qin?

During these years, I've let go of everything.

Nothing matters much anymore.

But the one thing I can't let go of

is the land of my State of Chu.

The people of my State of Chu!

♫ Who in the mortal world can understand? ♫

♫ Flick the sleeves and walk alone, not looking back. ♫

♫ Ethereal orchids of peculiar fragrance, caressed by the breeze, even shadows are redolent. ♫

♫ I ask thee, can you discern the traces she leaves. ♫

♫ While the years have yet to pass, pick a lotus so as to share. ♫

♫ Do not let regrets dwell in your heart. ♫

♫ Thinking of a beautiful lady, without anyone to rely on♫

♫ I desire to go home with the wind ♫

Father.

When you died, you told me

to speak and act with care.

You told me not to fight with the court officials.

But I didn't listen to you.

In my eyes, I cannot accept any problems.

I say whatever I want.

To those court officials,

to the King, I was always frank.

Zhang Yi!

The two of us fought for so many years.

In our youth, we fought with poems. When we were older we fought in politics.

We fought high, we fought low.

We all lost. All lost.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty, why are you sitting there?

You are not saying anything.

Your subject has too many things to say to you.

No, it is not "your subject".

It is "Ling Jun". You always loved to call me that.

You are my eyes and my ears.

What I can't see and can't hear, you must see them for me and listen to them for me.

You must also be my heart.

However big your heart is, that is how many of my troubles you can share.

Unfortunately, Your Majesty, Ling Jun was powerless.

Ling Jun was powerless.

I could not help you keep the State of Chu.

I could not help you keep the State of Chu.

Now the State of Qin has attacked and taken YingDu.

Everything

is because I was powerless.

Do you still remember when you said to me

that you had let me down, you should have listened to my advice?

That's why everything has become the way it is.

But what I want to say to you now

is that was all my fault.

It was my fault that I could not stop them.

It was I who let you down.

Drink. Come, come come.

Don't let me drink alone.

Come. Let's drink together. Drink together.

Take this to your General Bai Qi to take to your King of Qin.

Today, Chu's death is not because of Qin.

It was because of power.

Although Chu has fallen, the Spirit of Chu lives on.

When Qin attacked YingDu

and when Qin lost the trust of all its people,

it is easy to take land, but difficult to keep it yours.

As long as Qin does not stop shedding blood,

as long as Qin does not stop bringing harm to the people,

everyone will remember themselves as the people of Chu.

Remember this: that what Chu has become today,

is what Qin will become tomorrow.

Such a lowly minister from a fallen country dares teach me how to rule the world?

Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki

I have lived my whole life as a porcupine.

No one wanted to be near me.

When I was young, Father always scolded me for being a disapointment.

He said I was too unrestrained.

When I became a minister,

I became the enemy of the other ministers.

I must report the three wrongdoings of Qu Yuan.

First, he has committed tyrannous actions and brings fear to the people.

He has terrorized the people and endangered all the land.

Second, he has sided with our enemies and fostered their spy messages.

Third, his political reform has collapsed.

He has created havoc amongst the royal council!

While you were uniting the States, you caused the State of Chu to be defeated.

You have humiliated our state, yet do you not have an ounce of regret?

If you must add fuel to your fire, I cannot tell you what to do.

But do not bring the fire to me!

Even my most trusted King

almost had me executed.

You are stubborn, foolish, and easily swayed!

If one day the State of Chu falls, the greatest blame will be yours!

Guards! Take Qu Yuan to the Royal Dungeon!

At the age of twenty-one,

I went as an ambassador to Qi, and formed the Vertical Alliance to defeat Qin.

A few years later, the six kingdoms united to fight Qin.

The State of Chu was defeated and everyone placed the blame on me.

However, I have no regrets. Because of our defeat,

we were able to create a new revolution.

That is how the State of Chu became even greater.

I sought out corruption, and balanced the power of the council.

The first thing I did was take away Shu'er's nobility.

Then I took him to Quan Xian to train him as a child soldier. (Quan County)

He died in battle at YingDu.

Shu'er did well.

Did well.

As a man, you must be courageous.

He has not failed our Qu Family.

He has not failed the ancestors of Qu.

♫ Why the wind blows through the world and flowers all drift to the ground.♫

♫ Previous life and the next life, never meeting even till the end.♫

♫ Who am I with today? A toast to separation.♫

Have you thought this through? ♫ From what does love spring? For what is it abandoned?♫

♫ To make one promise in life and death♫

You've changed, but...

you've come back.

Do you still remember "Big Brother Orchid"?

Big Brother Orchid, the books say water is pure.

Just let the water take you to a more peaceful place.

Yes, he has waited too long.

I Qu Yuan, swear to become magistrate of Quan County.

I will make sure everyone in Quan County will live well!

You had power in Quan County, yet you used those powers to bully your people.

How can I allow you to do such a thing.

As long as it can make the citizens live a good life, I am not afraid to offend

all the nobility in this world.

Ling Jun, I indeed need a fresh flow like you

to counter the decaying spirit in the government.

Since I was born in this world, then I must gallop on a steed!

What fear is there of savage beasts, so what of troubles and obstructions!

Zhang Yi, do you know how many Chu soldiers

and families have been destroyed by your mouth? Death is not enough for you!

♫ The white horse galloping, vast and magnificent stars, the heart is sick with melancholy ♫

I only wish that Kings and Ministers of all States

will plan based on the hardships of the citizens,

I will use the Vertical Alliance to resist Qin. Fight against the cruel Qin

and implement beautiful governance. Let the citizens have food when they are hungry, have warmth when they are cold.

Prevent them from suffering the hardships of living as a refugees.

♫ Seeking the truth in heaven and on earth, opening up the words deep in my heart, not looking back ♫

Your Majesty, reforming the Constitution is a path that we must walk to strengthen our Chu. There is no other way.

How ridiculous!

Hundred years' foundation of our Chu's might, we must not touch it.

The reforms must be discussed. First, everything must be for the strengthening of the country.

If not to strengthen the country, why then must we do reforms?

Second, you must choose capable beings to put in positions.

For the country to progress, it must have wise and skilled personnel.

Third, the law doesn't consider sentimental feelings.

Anyone can be punished.

You are not reforming the laws to save the country! You are totally messing it up and bring troubles to the country!

The heaven and earth can be my witness on my intentions in reforming the laws!

Any Qu descendants who are not able to provide any merits to the country

must never carry on inherited titles and salaries.

You clearly have lost your way!

In your heart, have you ever thought about your own son,

even for a bit?

I was tasked by His Majesty to reform the laws. If I don't act as an example,

how can I earn the world's trust?

Clean up the people around the King, implement government laws.

The sun and moon can bear witness to our loyalty.

What a good 'the sun and moon can bear witness to our loyalty'!

Among you all, there are those that use power for personal gains,

those that scheme to usurp power, those that oppress the citizens!

I want to ask you all, what bad things have you not done before?

You-! You-!

In your life, you always treated the officials as your enemy.

How did we offend you?

If you are truly loyal to the State of Chu,

why would I treat you all as enemies?

Presently, the government is being run by evil ministers.

based on your own ability, how many people can you defeat?

I already disregarded my own life and death long ago.

I gave my entire self to the State of Chu!

The road is boundless - cultivation so distant.

I shall explore it from beginning to end.

For my ambitions, I will never regret dying for it even for numerous times.

Ling Jun, you love the State of Chu more than I do.

In the year 278 BCE, exactly on the day of the Duanwu Festival,

the great Chu poet Qu Yuan jumped into Miluo River bringing with him

his endless enthusiasm for his past country and sad thoughts.

He used his own outstanding and unsurpassed life

to write a patriotic epic

that moved both heaven and earth, and was heart-rending.

QuZi, QuZi! (T/N Master Qu, styled like LaoZi etc.)

You are one in a thousand years!

It's a shame my great Qin, cannot have such a genius!

After Qu Yuan jumped into the river, the people threw zongzi into the river.

They do dragon boat competitions. They use different means

to show their unending admiration towards Qu Yuan

and continuous reminiscing.

(T/N The Duanwu Festival takes place on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, the beginning of summer. Snow...even in the BCE era on this date and this latitude, is a matter of [dare we say it?] "poetic license".)

For the past two thousand years, the Duanwu Festival has progressed from a simple offering ceremony to ward off evil

into one with feelings of patriotism and concern towards the citizen's welfare,

one with heartwarming feelings of family reunions, and one full of courageous ambitions that aims to be first.

Episode 77

Since no one will accompany me to pursue the ideal government, I shall chase after Peng Xian and keep him company. - Li Sao (The Grievances) by Qu Yuan ("Peng Xian" = Sun God, Shang official, or shaman, it is not clear)

Your Highness, Jing Mo Ao begs to be in your attendance.

He is still unabashed to come?

Let him in.

Yes.

Your humble subject is greeting Your Highness the Queen.

I came just to congratulate Your Highness.

Upon Prince Zi Heng's return this time,

Your Highness shall soon become the Queen Dowager.

What a joke. As long as His Majesty is alive,

I am the Queen.

What? Minister Jing, do you wish for something to happen to His Majesty as well?

I don't dare. I am only happy to see that Prince Zi Heng

can return to his land to helm the nation.

You are really so elated about Zi Heng reigning?

If I remember it correctly,

the one you've always praised in royal court

has been Zi Lan.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

Please be kind based on our Jing family's service, generation after generation!

Don't pull this stuff with me.

Your words might fool His Majesty, but they won't fool me.

I shall put in my utmost to serve Chu nation from now on.

I shall also, together with my wife,

swear our lives to the service of Prince Zi Heng without fail.

So you know to bring up Madam Jing at a time like this,

and her sisterhood with me.

Forget it. Get on up.

Thank you, Your Highness.

On the account of Madam Jing, I shall forgive you once.

But from now on, you must show your fidelity as you help Zi Heng.

Got that?

My gratitude, Your Highness.

Your humble subject shall not disappoint Your Highness.

I shall commit my life entirely to serving Prince Zi Heng.

Ying Du, the Chu Capital

Utmost welcome to the Prince.

Royal Mother.

Heng'er. My Heng'er.

You're finally back.

I've missed you every moment and every second while in Qi Nation. I missed Chu as well.

Now I am finally back and I've become the King of Chu.

I'm just happy you were able to return safely.

Chu is all in your hands now.

You must carry this responsibility well.

I understand. It was all thanks to Qu Yuan's rescuing me this time

that I was able to return smoothly to reign. I must not treat him shabbily.

You mean?

Qu Yuan's biggest aspirations in life are political reform and vertical alliance.

Now the vertical alliance is impossible.

As for political reform, if at all possible, let's go with his wishes.

As you ministers know, my Royal Father's been held captive in Wu Pass for many months.

The royal court has been in panic over the future of Chu nation.

I have returned this time with the goal of reviving our land.

Grand Adviser Qu.

In your attendance.

From now on, I command you to continue your efforts to political reform,

to spearhead the court alongside me.

That . . .

What? You didn't hear what I said?

Replying to Your Majesty, I believe

the utmost task at hand is not the political reform,

but to use our national powers to bring back His Majesty.

You . . .

Though you are correct,

but currently our Chu is no match against Qin.

How could we bring back my Royal Father?

Just because we are no match, we should just watch His Majesty be humiliated at Wu Pass?

Minister Qu, aren't you just too ill-mannered toward His Majesty?

His Majesty? You sure acknowledge a new master so quickly.

Then the one getting humiliated at Wu Pass isn't His Majesty?

You . . .

Enough. Getting my Royal Father back is a grand matter. Let's discuss it another day.

- Crown...! - Court is dismissed!

[ Soft Fragrant Orchid Palace ]

That Qu Yuan's just too haughty.

I commanded him to take on the political reform in royal court today.

But he even put on airs! So rude to me.

Royal Mother, when will Royal Father return?

I just feel powerless.

You wish for your Royal Father to return.

But where will your seat be if he returns?

However, I . . .

You're afraid of Qu Yuan?

Royal Mother.

I don't blame you. That Qu Yuan is His Majesty's beloved subject.

And he is also your teacher. Hence, now that you are seated in the royal throne,

he's become the King's teacher.

And no one in the royal court can keep him at bay now.

Royal Mother, what do you suppose I should do?

Do what?

Now, you are no longer the crown prince.

As long as you are seated in the royal throne, you are the King.

But I am still reigning in Royal Father's absence.

Once he's back, I still need to concede the throne to Royal Father.

You really think your Royal Father can actually come back?

As long as your Royal Father continues to hold onto Wu County and Qianzhong County and not give them to Qin,

then the Qin nation won't release him.

Heng'er, you just continue to be King.

But what Qu Yuan said, I can't just ignore.

As long as you are seated in the royal throne, you need to bring out the dignity of the monarch.

Concessions and forbearance will only have you end up with nothing.

All these years in the royal palace and I have seen it clearly now.

I would concede and forbear before, thinking of others before me.

But in the end? Those consorts, how many truly cared about me?

And now that you're the King,

do you know how many eyes are watching you from behind, looking for flaws to pick out?

If you continue to be so feeble-minded,

you will not be far from your Royal Father's current ending.

But Qu Yuan is my teacher.

So? No matter how talented Qu Yuan is,

he is still your subject.

Yes, he did help you and me before.

But now you're the king of a nation.

You can't allow someone who's readily criticizing you to stay by your side.

Heng'er, Qu Yuan's full of thorns. He is prickly to everyone.

If you want to protect him, and you end up offending all the other ministers of the royal court,

you'll end up unbalanced.

What is really more important?

Heng'er, listen to me.

A person who is overly-righteous cannot be King.

You should not have fought with Zi Heng during today's court.

Am I supposed to watch His Majesty be cornered without caring at all with regard for his safety?

Actually, you should have thought of this long ago.

When you decided to let Prince Zi Heng take control of the court,

this day was destined to be.

What do you mean?

I ask you, say His Majesty has come back.

So what is Zi Heng now?

At that time, he cannot be the King,

nor can he be the Crown Prince.

If it were you, would you accept His Majesty's return?

But he is His Majesty's son!

That was before.

Now, he is no longer His Majesty's son.

He is...His Majesty.

Why did you bring me here?

Do you remember this place still?

When we were little, we would argue over who would be king.

Did you bring me here just to tell me

that you won in the end?

Do you remember the promise we made before the Crown Prince selection?

We said that no matter who became crown prince,

the other one would be Chancellor.

Those were just jokes made in the past. Why bring them up again?

Now I am but a prisoner, whether you want to kill me or cut me into pieces, I will obey.

If I wanted to kill you, would I have told them to retreat?

What do you want?

What if I said I wanted to make good on our promise?

Are you saying you want to make me Chancellor?

I'm afraid that our Royal Father will not be able to come back.

Chu must now be protected by us together.

As long as we are united, Chu will be strong.

Open it.

He Shi Bi ? (T/N The He Family Jade Disk, great treasure of Chu State)

From today onward, you will guard the He Shi Bi .

I have put the treasure of Chu in your safekeeping.

Do you still not trust me?

But...aren't you afraid that I will fight you for the throne?

You already fought once, are you going to try a second time?

There's a chance.

Alright. If you become the King,

don't forget to make me Chancellor.

I will.

But if I become Chancellor, what happens to Zhao He?

Zhao He is old, it is time for him to rest.

What about Qu Yuan? He's always fighting against the two of us.

Trying to hold some kind of competition to select the next King. Big Brother was originally the next King!

What else was there to choose?

If it weren't for him stirring up trouble between us,

we wouldn't be fighting so much either.

Also, if it weren't for him inciting our Royal Father to change the laws,

our Chu wouldn't have fallen to this state either.

Right now, Royal Father is trapped in Wu Pass,

and it is all his fault.

How do you think we should deal with Qu Yuan?

As long as he is alive,

is a day he is able to manipulate the laws of Chu.

I believe...

that we should get rid of Qu Yuan.

But he...is our teacher.

Royal Mother.

Royal Mother, I have come to see you.

You still remember you have a mother?

I thought you forgot about this old lady a long time ago.

Royal Mother is still angry at me.

Who would dare to be angry at you?

You are the King of our Qin nation.

Soon enough, you will be the King of all the land under the sky.

Your words weigh heavy, Royal Mother.

No matter how important of a King I become, I am still your son.

Royal Son.

If you still believe that you are my son,

then promise me to release Xiong Huai.

He is your uncle!

Uncle?

You said that you don't have an older brother named Xiong Huai.

He is not your brother,

so how is he my uncle?

Royal Son, listen to your mother.

If you keep doing this, you will only bring never-ending conflicts

between Qin and Chu.

Even if it is never-ending,

it is my Qin State wiping out Chu State!

You don't need to concern yourself.

Do you no longer recognize blood relatives anymore?

Royal Mother, when did you ever recognize them?

Just take it as I beg you.

Royal Mother, I also beg you

to stop concerning yourself with these matters.

If you think too much of court matters,

your hair will turn white quicker. My heart would hurt if that happened.

Royal Mother, you should just stay in your palace and enjoy the riches.

He is removed from his title of Adviser to the Three Royal Clans, to be exiled to Jiangnan.

I never imagined,

after devoting my entire life to Chu,

serving three Kings,

I would end up with this ending.

From now on,

there's no more "heaven's mandate".

You don't believe in heaven's mandate either?

From now on,

I only believe in you.

- Your Majesty! - Our King!

In the year 296 BCE,

Chu's King Xiong Huai dies abroad in Qin State.

Legend has it, after King Huai's death,

he transformed into a bird, known as "Chu Hun" ("Chu's Soul/Spirit".

Your Majesty.

Ling Jun, do you still remember the last time we came here?

I remember. Your Majesty said this.

That you loved the mountains and the rivers of Chu.

That you wished to transform yourself into a bird,

so you can see even further.

See the entirety of Chu's mountains and rivers and grasses and trees.

Yes. I also said this. That the bird shall be called Chu Hun (Chu's Spirit/Soul).

Regrettably, I never was able to become a bird.

♫ Who​ ​swore​ ​to​ ​this​ ​life,​ ​fate​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​abandon ♫

Ling Jun, the " Li Sao " you wrote, I read it all. (The Grievances)

The days and months hurried on, never delaying. Springs and autumns sped by in endless alternation.

I can write.

Lots of people can write.

I write better than all of them.

Child, what's your name?

My name is Song Yu. (T/N Poet, author of Jiu Bian (Nine Changes) of the Chuci , Songs of Chu).

Qu. Master Qu.

Master Qu, I heard just now

from someone who went to Yingdu (Chu's Capital) that . . .

That what? What happened to Yingdu?

That the King of Chu is going to marry a Qin woman!

Marry a Qin woman?

Ruined.

My Chu nation is ruined.

Kill.

Royal Brother, let's go. If we don't go now, it'll be too late.

Go? My nation is ruined.

Where could we go?

Royal Brother.

Let's go. Hurry. Let's go.

You are all my wives. I don't want to see anything happen to you.

You are the mistress of the Inner Palace. You must be an example.

But what I want to see more is harmony inside the Inner Palace.

In the year 278 BCE,

Qin's General Bai Qi attacks Yingdu, the Chu Capital.

That year, Chu's King Qingxiang (Xiong Heng) moves (the capital) eastward. (T/N 241 BCE, settling in Shouchun)

Chu Palace

Everyone get lost!

I am Bai Qi. May I ask who you are, Elder?

I am Zhao He, the Chancellor of Chu Nation.

So you are Lord Zhao.

But I heard you were already deposed of your title over a decade ago.

As long as I, Zhao He, remain alive,

I stand as the Chancellor of Chu.

And I serve my ancestors to safeguard this land.

Now, the entire Chu palace is in my hands.

Very soon, I will have a huge fire burn down the entire palace.

Even this Court Hall will be burned down.

I want to see then,

just how you will safeguard this land.

Let me see who dares to burn down my Chu Court.

These old bones of mine...

shall fight him!

Bastards from Qin! Bastards from Qin!

No. You can't burn it!

No! Don't burn it! Don't burn it!

Burn it all!

No!

You can't burn it.

You can't burn it.

You can't burn it.

When your country is in trouble, throw yourself in to help.

When your country is in trouble, throw yourself in to help.
