The Longest Day in Chang'An (Chang An Shi Er Shi Chen / 长安十二时辰)

Where is Long Bo taking the Crouching Fire to?

You are a mercenary.

You should keep to your word.

The one who funds all of our operations in Chang'an is He Fu.

-This is not what I want to hear. -You already knew?

You only ask about Long Bo but not He Fu.

Because you are both officials.

You want to protect him.

You don't understand.

I have to think of the future.

Long Bo is right. All of you should die.

All the people in Chang'an should die.

I want to make sure that there are no people like you...

-in the future of Tang. -Darned official.

I want to make sure that there are no people who will lose...

their home since young in the future of Tang.

I don't want them to suffer...

until all they know is about hatred towards the human world.

I don't want to see anybody else...

who are willing to be used and sacrifice themselves...

just because they felt some warmth from that person.

I'm doing it willingly. It's none of your business.

Every life in Tang has value.

Your life is valuable and so is Long Bo's.

You shouldn't die in vain.

We have already prepared ourselves for death.

-Is it worth it to die like this? -He thinks that it is.

What about you?

I will kill you if you untie the rope.

One rope, one answer.

Do you think it's worth it for Long Bo to die?

He did it for others.

Who?

Chief Li.

Guards!

The criminal is trying to escape! Quick!

Episode 23

Xu He Zi!

Xu He Zi!

Xu He Zi!

These festooned vehicles are chosen by various local officials.

They are sent to the capital to add some spice to the Lantern Festival.

Today's Lantern Festival is different from the previous ones.

After the lantern is lit, they will...

come into the city from 3 directions; east, west and south...

while showing off their talents along the way.

Finally, they will gather in front of Xingqing Palace at two in the morning.

You should go back to Peacekeeper Corps.

I want to go to Liu's Bookshop together with you.

Two people are too big of a target.

The private is a very cautious man.

I'm afraid that he'll have spies around the area.

Xu He Zi!

Commander Zhang.

Me, it's me.

I want to go with you.

No.

Commander Zhang.

If I can be even a little bit of help,

then the church would be of use to the government.

Always about the government.

Looks like you really want to court the government.

Our fellow priests just want to stay in Chang'an.

Please bring me along, Commander Zhang.

I am willing to do anything that can help.

I'm willing to be the first one to extend a helping hand.

Fine. I'll do the work.

And your church can take the credits for it.

The priests in my church have already sacrificed their lives.

I have to make a contribution.

Only by making my church become well-known...

can they be remembered by the people.

And they won't die in vain.

Let's go.

God bless me.

I already told you.

You need a guard to protect you.

I'll continue with the interrogation.

Aren't you Captain Cui?

What are you...

Don't call me captain anymore.

You should go in now.

Sir An. How did you get back so early?

It wasn't far. Let's go.

Move aside!

-Move aside! -Move aside!

Order from General Gan! Withdraw now!

-Line up, Right Cavalries! -Roger that!

Why are you still guarding here, Captain Cui?

I already brought the Royal Escort to join the Right Cavalries.

Peacekeeper Corps can't be without any guards.

You want to be ingratiated with both side. So greedy.

If you don't go back to the Right Cavalries now,

I'll report you for disobeying orders and running away...

and you will be deleted from the army.

You are a soldier. Your job is to obey order.

Depart!

Greetings, Chief Li.

We came back upon your order. We are here to accept our next tasks.

The warriors of Zhao and Yan are wearing silk bandannas...

while carrying shining sabres from Wu Yue.

They sit on silver-white horses...

and ride swiftly like the shooting star.

Ten paces one kill.

Miles and miles they went, unstoppable.

They left with the wind after the work is done.

And they left no name.

You made Li Bai's poem into a song.

Sounds nice.

The warriors of Zhao and Yan are wearing silk bandannas...

while carrying shining sabres from Wu Yue.

You hate the government. Why are you still willing to die or it today?

Your interrogation skill is too bad. Li Bi didn't teach you about it?

Since I can only know you for one day. I want to know you better.

You already looked at my body. Now, you want to look at my heart?

I can remember you better if I do that.

I want to look at your heart too.

If you knew my brothers from The Eight Squad,

you would understand.

There are two people who I admire the most.

One is Wen Wu Ji.

When we were at the Defence Beacon back then,

there were only 20 of us left.

Our enemies had backup. Thus, increasing their numbers to thousands.

That night, we asked Old Man Wen to leave.

Because he has daughter in Chang'an that needs him.

But he said that...

he won't retreat.

Won't retreat.

Old Man Wen didn't die in the hands of the enemies.

But he died in Chang'an.

What about the other one?

There's another one.

Just now, you said that you have two people who you admire.

Xiao Gui.

He is a living treasure.

Today is the first of the first month!

The brother is teaching the sister how to play lantern!

The brother is happy and the sister is delighted!

Rise and shine, you damned slaves!

Why aren't him tired?

Rise and shine!

Somebody is born different.

No matter how bad it is, they can still smile.

We are able to hold it until the end because of him.

He told us that...

it's better to fight the enemies there than fighting them in our hometown.

-What happened to them? -Who?

There are nine survivors in The Eight Squad, right?

What happened to them?

Wen Wu Ji died in Chang'an.

You should have known about it since you've checked on me.

Three of them went back to their hometown.

Another three of them died because of the pressure here.

Due to famine, Ding Lao San's family had died.

So, he ran away and nobody ever saw him since.

What about Xiao Gui?

I heard that he's doing business in Western District...

and there are no words from him since.

You never thought of seeking him out?

Speed up. It'll take us 15 minutes to reach Pingkang Street.

Wake up.

Wake up!

Does the law of Tang allows Taoist priests to wear Armour?

Take a look.

-Do you want to live? -Yes.

No matter what happens later, don't make a sound.

-Find something to block up this hole. -Aright.

Quiet.

Door.

Get the door.

Don't go.

You are too loud.

Slowly. Hold this.

Hold it.

Don't move.

Hold it tight.

Roger that.

-Hold it tight. -Roger that.

The Royal Escort has worn all of the armours here.

We are left with only three sets of spare armours.

I'll take them out.

Why did you come back?

You are kicked out...

by Right Cavalries, right?

Wear it now.

How did you know that I'm looking for Armour?

I don't know. I just feel that Peacekeeper Corps is in danger.

When you bring the Royal Escort away,

why didn't you think of that?

Why are you so kind suddenly?

It's too hard for you in the Right Cavalries, right?

You want to come back to get into Li Bi's good graces?

Li Bi has no time for you now.

You...

-Tell him for me. -Mr. Cui.

You can't be too greedy.
