The Myth (神話)

General, the convoy of princess has just entered our land.

We guard the princess.

General Meng Yi of Qin

welcomes your Highness...

The royal carriage.

The royal carriage.

His Imperial Majesty decrees -

for the continue friendship between our nations,

Princess Ok Soo shall be Concubine Li of Qin

Princess Ok Soo is so commanded.

General Choy is here for the princess to take her to her rightful home.

Her Highness has already betrothed to General Choy. Impossible !

Do not interfere ! She is betrothed !

She is our Concubine Li of Qin. You're interfering and so stand against our State.

We're left with no alternative, prepare to attack...immediately.

Soldiers attack!

Formations.

Hurry! Protect the Princess!

Get the Princess to safety!

Princess, come back with me.

You are betrothed to me.

I cannot go back with you.

and I cannot allow you to go to the King of Qi.

It'll look like surrender.

I hope you'll understand this decision is not my own.

So you'll have me die like this ? With no dignity ?

We fight!

My orders are to protect the Princess.

Draw and we may both fulfil our missions.

Save the Princess.

Save her!

Run!

Your Highness!

Feb 28 , 2005.

I had been having the same dream for three months.

I'm always...an ancient general,

a leader of a great army...

and I...and I...rescue...a...a...beautiful princess.

Hello ? William? You're back in Hong Kong?

Great! Come on over!

Talk about being all at sea!

How come you live on a boat?

Well, they decided to cut the research budget in half last year.

I had to sell my flat to make up the other half so that I can finish the project.

So I moved here with my research.

Not bad! Lots of room huh!

So, why back so soon? Didn't like the States?

Or rather to help you with your finances.

May I?

I want you to help with something.

Hi William! This must be Dr Chan.

Er...no; just Iack.

I'm Maggie. Welcome to our Anti-Gravity Research Project.

What're you doing?

That's my lab. Check it out.

Let's ask Dr Smith to go thru' a little preview.

Doctor, if you will.

It's a well-known fact that spinning an object at increased speed

can reduce its weight,

and we can already show the results.

The experiments although successful are very expensive .

and we discover that no living creatures can withstand the speed.

So, we're not able to use these experiments on human.

O.K. Thank you, Maggie.

You're welcome.

Wait! Now I don't get it. This is not my area.

You know, I'm an archaeologist.

Well, I think the secret lies in this mysterious ancient phenomeneon.

and it seems you already helped, you know?

The PC wrote on Dasar.

A little tiny kingdom, whose king became immortal.

You see, the king's coffin floated in mid-air.

I think it's worth looking into.

It's just a myth!

You've been watching too many cartoons, William.

Hey, I'm serious! huh, trust me on this one!

Hey, Jack.. ! Jack !

Wireless communications were a myth a hundred and fifty years ago.

So was walking on the moon and so were the airplanes!

Where did I put this... Are you listening ?

This is important! I really need your help!

So many others are developing this technology. Can you imagine how important this could be!

I could revolutionise so many aspects of our life on this planet and...

and not just on this planet, others as well !

I understand that you wanted to do something no one has.

and no one has been into the tomb before.

I would love to help you, honestly,

and I'm unorthodox but tomb raider I'm not.

Huh, so , you still holding a grudge after...what to be , ten years ?

Yeah, and it'll be another ten.

Well, speaking of old times,

How's your game then ?

Hey , catch !

Ah..h...What do you call that ?

Shot from new angle.

Why did you shoot it then ?

Because you passed me the ball!

Don't worry about it. Come on.

Hey, is that Maggie your girlfriend?

No. She represents my sponsor.

So, er...what happened to Monica?

Monica? Oh , long gone.

No, now I've been dreaming about princesses.

One in particular actually. Her name is Ok Soo.

I keep calling out her name in my sleep.

Princess huh? Er...well, how about we get back to business, Jack, you're a rule breaker.

and you always follow your instincts.

Dead Sea Scrolls...your instincts told you that they were forgers.

Jack, hey...Jack!

Jack, all I'm asking is that you follow your instincts here.

I'm sure that the Dasar Mae is actually reality. I just have to prove it.

Can you do it for me?

You're my best friend and I know you won't let me face danger alone.

I trust you more than anyone.

Jack!

What's the matter with you?

I think I've got a heat stroke. Come on !

You know...almost there... nearly there.

Lok at all those stairs!

You should be doing more exercise !

I do exercise ! 3 hours of golf, 2 hours of tennis...

You know golf and tennis, video games do not count as exercise !

Well, Mr. Fitness, how about carrying me?

Get off and hurry up !

Jack, is that the holy man who can fly, do you think ?

Maybe. Let's go over there for a closer look.

It's really true ! He can fly !

Hey ! Get up. Follow me.

We should go up , hurry !

Come on , grab my leg. Help me out.

Wow ! You've got strong legs. Let go of me , o.k ?

Ah..h...these carvings are amazing !

There're so many ! And each one tells its own story.

I never made it this far on my last expedition.

Jack!

Looks like it's floating. Do you see any strings?

I'm checking.

Jack, there's a sword beside the coffin.

I see it.

I would imagine that the inscriptions record his deeds

Ooh...mission to Qin?

This prince once brought treasures and women to Qin.

The Qin Emperor gifted him one of his concubines,

but he happened to pick the Emperor's favourite.

The Emperor reneged and gave him her paintings instead,

as well as the Qin Star Gem, in apology.

He fought the greatest warrior and exchanged sword.

How about that.

No ! Don't !

Jack!

Are you o.k. ?

What did you just take ?

I've never seen stones like these. It'll be good for research.

I told you not to take stuff!

I was going to return it afterwards.

It nearly got me killed !

How come the coffin fell when I pulled it out?

His Majesty commanded me to paint a portrait of Concubine Li...

How can I paint her if she won't smile...

I haven' seen her smile since she entered the palace.

General Meng!

Ah...perfect!

That's the smile!

Jack! Jack! Wake up !

Stop dreaming !

Someone is coming! Huh..? What ?

Quick , get it off!

Hey, maybe they'll help?

Jack! Jack! Help me!

Let go!

Are you nuts?

This temple is ancient and sacred, sir!

What do you gain by destroying it?

I hope you know I didn't want to offend anyone.

Now, it was an accident! Big mistake!

I was just looking for something.

I'm sorry!

What? Are you all right?

I was apologizing!

Huh...is that all the thanks I get? Let's go!

Wait, wait, wait!

What did I say about stealing?

I'm just borrowing this...for protection!

Jack, let's go!

Huh, I got the painting for you as well!

What?

Ur...o.k...run! Get them!

Come on!

Get up! Come on!

Right here, get them all!

Jack! Jack! Didn't you say you had backup'?

All I see are monkeys!

You go first!

Jack!

Pick up some stones!

Jack!

It is too dangerous, we have to leave now.

Fly lower! No! It's too dangerous ! We got to go!

Jack! Jack!

Jack!
