Detective Dee: Buddha's Wrath (狄仁杰之通天浮屠)

During the Zai Chu era of the Tang Dynasty,

the Sky-reaching Pagoda collapsed.

Di Renjie was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case.

Although he saved the Great Tang from disaster,

he was tragically poisoned with the Golden Turtle poison.

Those afflicted by this poison

would spontaneously com bust

if exposed to sunlight.

Di Renjie

was then trapped in the Ghost Market,

never

to see the light of day again.

Lord Wang.

Is there any way to deal with

the remains of the Sky-reaching Pagoda?

Her Majesty, in her wisdom,

has considered the hardships of the frontier soldiers.

The remaining bronze and iron from the Sky-reaching Pagoda

Will be melted down to make armor and protective gear

to supply the army.

From tomorrow onwards,

the Ministry of Works will construct

a casting workshop on the training ground.

Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen!

Lord Wang.

Lord Wang.

Look.

The Demon Empress brings chaos to the world,

and Heaven and Earth will not tolerate it.

We have been commanded by God

to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!

These are

the specifications for building the casting workshop,

along with the materials required.

Take a look here.

Watch out for the fire.

What is that?

Dragon!

What's going on?

The dragon has manifested!

Dragon!

It's a dragon!

What's going on?

How?

Move!

You three thieves,

burning and looting under my nose.

Do you think you can get away?

[Vice Minister of the Supreme Court, Pei Dongsheng]

Are you going back with me,

or shall I carry your bodies back?

Pei Dongsheng? The White-Haired Five-Blade?

Let's fight him!

Step aside!

Don't move.

Get up.

Behave yourself!

Dragon?

This is...

The Great Buddha.

The Demon Empress rules

and brings chaos to the world.

You, who aid her in tyranny,

are all accomplices.

All of you must die!

Run!

Captain Li.

Captain Li!

Captain Li!

Captain Li.

The dragon has appeared.

The wrath of Heaven is coming!

The dragon has appeared.

The wrath of Heaven is coming!

The dragon has appeared.

The wrath of Heaven is coming.

The dragon has appeared.

The wrath of Heaven is coming.

The dragon has appeared.

The wrath of Heaven is coming!

Run!

Monster!

Who are you?

How dare you cause havoc

in front of the Empress!

With the Demon Empress on the throne,

Heaven and Earth will not tolerate it.

God have appointed me the "Ghostly Savior,"

to guide the world back to the righteous way.

You, who aid her in tyranny,

are all accomplices.

You're lying!

You're not

even qualified to be my opponent.

God has given the decree.

Only if the Demon Empress

imitates the Great Buddha

and self-immolates to atone

can the world be spared from disaster.

Otherwise,

the wrath of Heaven will surely fall.

In just one night,

numerous rumors have reached me.

[Minister of the Supreme Court, Xue Yong]

Your Majesty, please forgive me.

I've already worked through the night…

Tell me.

How many days?

The matter is strange,

and I dare say

the demon has long schemed.

Your Majesty.

Seven days.

If I fail to solve this case within 7 days,

I am willing to offer my head in apology.

Three days?

I wanted to buy more time.

But in 3 days,

the sorcerer of the Ling Sect will open

the altar and begin his sermon.

How could I let this matter delay it?

Why are you laughing?

If you die,

I'll be promoted to the Minister.

Don't worry.

I'll shed a tear

at your funeral.

How ungrateful you are.

Do something if you don't want to die.

Wait.

Xu Le.

Send the order.

Thoroughly investigate all districts.

Yes!

Candied haws!

- Have a look! Candied haws! - The dragon has appeared.

And the Great Buddha self-immolated?

Young lady.

You didn't hear about

such a big thing?

Just last night.

Yes, I heard that

it happened at the training ground in the suburbs.

The Great Buddha is there. Right.

I heard

many people died.

Look.

My father is so scared. He seems like he has lost his soul.

He woke up early in the morning, shouting that

the Great Tang is doomed.

The Great Tang is doomed!

Keep your voice down.

Don't talk nonsense.

He's so scared he's lost his mind.

Right.

Miss Mengnan.

Miss Mengnan?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm leaving.

Take care.

Excuse me.

Have you seen anyone suspicious recently?

No.

Mengnan.

Mengnan.

Where did that girl

run off to?

Di.

I need to go out.

Make the medicine yourself.

Who are you?

Why are you sneaking around?

I'm not sneaking around.

I just want

to see

if there's anything valuable.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Trying to run?

If you keep running,

I'll chop off your feet.

Tell me.

What's your connection

to this case?

What?

I don't even know what happened.

Why don't you

- tell me? - How dare you!

Then let's go back to the prison and talk.

Wait!

Another accomplice, huh?

Di.

Why are you here?

Why are you out

in broad daylight?

So you're Di Renjie?

Pei.

Your brother died because of my negligence.

I cannot escape responsibility.
