Far-far away in the south of The Heavenly Empire
there lived a Great Dragon.
His eyelashes went down deep into the ground
and came back up as beautiful plants healing the souls
and bodies of those who suffered.
People called the leaves of this plant "tea".
The glory of his drink spread far and wide,
soon the Great Dragon found men to take care of his eyelashes.
And preserved the healing properties of tea.
They were called "The White Wizards".
The Great Dragon made a magical seal
and gave it to the wizards he trusted the most:
The Master, his daughter, and the princess.
Merchants from all over the world
traded great riches for this tea.
But then, some of the wizards got greedy.
They went to the evil side to control the Dragon.
These Black Wizards were lead by the Two-Faced Witch.
She raised an ancient army and they took the Dragon's cave.
To get more tea, they stopped trimming the Great Dragon's eyelashes,
his eyes became heavy and he fell into a deep sleep.
The White Wizards fought back to free the great dragon.
but the Black Wizards were to powerful.
The evil forces captured the Master and the Princess.
They then put them into prisons on opposite sides of the World.
THE MYSTERY OF THE DRAGON'S SEAL.
ENGLAND, THE LONDON TOWER
Feeding time, you lazy maggots!
We should hang the half of you lot!
Come late, get nothing!
One... Two... Three.
All in attendance!
Of course you are! Where would you go?
It's the Tower!
All these years and the jokes are still the same.
We'll never escape this place.
But we won't live long anyway.
How do you survive if you don't eat anything?
The sun that rises in the East nourishes me.
Give it to me.
Eat up, pretty little birdie.
I'll have water too!
I will tell you where I hid my treasure
for a tiny piece of this bird. Please give him to me.
I've got you, you white little beauty.
You see how easily I caught him!
That's a homing pigeon. He is not afraid of people.
Please give him to me!
Yeah, I can see what you mean.
I don't understand it... It's say's..
Bloody nonsense!
It's a secret code. It's written backwards.
Backward!
Dear Miss Dudley,
I am missing you immensely.
and every day I recall your silhouette in the moonlight...
It looks like it's somebody's private correspondence...
So you think we still should read it?
- Oh yes, we should! - So listen...
Once again I am apologizing for my sudden departure.
I would never leave you, Miss Dudley,
if not for the disagreement with your father...
Debauching yourself in your father's house, and with a common teacher!
I'm not just a teacher. I'm a Bachelor of geography and cartography!
Set the dogs on him!
Darling, I love you!
I love you too darling. Belief in me!
Your father, the Lord Dudley, was absolutely right...
I have indeed spent all of my fortune.
I've not wasted it, but invested it in my invention.
I've managed to produce a revolution in cartography.
With the help of the fifth wheel of the coach I can measure distances precisely.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is still doing it the old fashioned way.
My fame reached the Russian Tsar who ordered me to map
the borders of his European possessions.
Yes right, I remember him! The clever scientist!
I met him during my embassy trip to England.
I crossed the whole of Europe...
and after passing over the mountains of gloomy Transylvania
I reached the wild forests of Little Russia.
There, I encountered phenomena that can not be explained by science!
It was as if ancient legends and tales told at night to frighten children
came to life before my eyes.
I saw an ancient creature with countless eyes.
Its name was Viy. With a single glance, it could read your mind
and know your innermost thoughts.
The locals called Cossack's
suddenly turn into strange beasts during their nightly feasts,
and flying monsters could appear as if from nowhere.
These are the unfathomable adventures, Miss Dudley,
that I experienced on my way to Moscow. These strange visions still haunt me,
and it seems they shall haunt me as long as I live.
I was certain dearest Dudley
that a reward from Peter the Great awaited me in Moscow.
But that is not what happened...
I've brought the map, as we agreed.
Mister Jonathan Green! needs no introduction.
And I am Sasha Menshikov. Alright, follow me.
Maps are delightful objects. We do appreciate them.
It's wonderful!
We've heard about your fifth wheel!
A original invention.
Such detail. I've never seen such a detail map.
Oh look! My dear Denmark is here! So small!
- And this here is my dear Holland! - Be careful! My map!
Everything in Europe is small!
And look here - Russia! Everything is so big!
- Terra Incognita! - Hear! Hear!
As the eagle is our national bird, none may defecate while in an eagle pose!
I was let to believe that I would have the opportunity to meet him, so where is he.
What do you mean? Here He is, simply go meet Him.
Drink! Drink!
that's not him!
Are you certain the one you met was Peter?
- Yes. - The First?
The Great?
Music. Everybody stand up. Dance. Dance now.
I met him at his Embassy.
The court scientist Isaac you know and myself well we saw the Tsar!
You have traveled Europe, how could there have been a Tsar.
Guards! Send him to the dungeon!
My eyes!
And these, dearest Miss Dudley, are my latest tidings.
This shall also be my final letter to you, as I only have a single pigeon left.
I suppose, Mr. Green requires my assistance.
May I use your feather, Master?
Thank you!
This pigeon is our only chance to get out of here.
If Miss Dudley loves this Jonathan true,
we can expect to have visitors soon.
And now, the long-barreled musket.
ENGLAND. LORD DUDLEY'S CASTLE.
"The sky has changed its color."
So should we close the book now.
- Father! - What?
Look at this. It's from Jonathan! He's in trouble!
Don't tell me.
When that lunatic scientist of yours is...
What he's done now? Been taken hostage by a house full of witches.
Father, please stop! He's the father of my child!
I hardly don't need reminding of that.
Please, we want to hear more!
Go and play for a bit!
Dearest Miss Dudley! Now I'm coming to Moscow...
Now, look at this, it's not Jonathan's handwriting!
I, the Great Sovereign Tsar
of the great and small and white Russia.
To the one who reads this message,
I announce that I am held prisoner in a English dungeon.
Known as Tower gray prison.
I am the one and only rightful ruler of the Russian lands.
Peter The First.
What's this nonsense about Peter The First? Being in prison.
Is this some secret code of yours?
I don't understand it myself.
That womanizing squinter Baron Charles whittler
in his role as her Majesty ambassador.
Is about to embark on a diplomatic mission to the Russian Tsar.
Get the pigeons ready! They go to Moscow immediately.
MOSCOW RUSSIA.
Ambassador of Her Majesty Anna, Queen of England and Scotland
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
All my ancestors had beards!
Thank you, boy.
Give this China man 30 lashes and then we're sending him off to Siberia!
That's barbarous. Leave him alone! He’s just a boy!
- Get your hands off me! - And here is the Englishman!
By the order of His Majesty
I order you, ignorant peasants, not to wear beards!
Cut your beards! Verily you will live like civilized people.
- What is happening here? - Peter's Reformations!
Building up a civilization.
I am a subject of Her Majesty the Queen of England!
Here he is! And, you'll notice, in perfect health!
Let him go!
Jonathan, you are forgiven and fully pardoned.
Lord Dudley sent you these pigeons.
I have a great idea!
You could go to the Far East and chart a new map of our borders.
And listen here, don't even think about running off to Europe!
And keep what you see to yourself!
It's less trouble.
I'm going East? Then there's a condition.
I'll need an assistant. I'll take the boy.
You want this little fool? Did you not hear, you brute?
Take him, he's yours!
Let's get you out of the madness.
Once your free of here, you can do what you like.
Over here.
Meet the Englishman outside the city and make him disappear.
And the China man.
Are you all right?
What is your name?
Cheng Lan.
We have to get out Moscow as soon as possible.
I'm going East. But it is a perish journey.
I owe you my life.
- I'm going to the East as well. - I owe you.
Look, come with me. I need an assistant.
I don't want to bother you. I'll travel on top,
- of this carriage - On top?
Eh... Right!
Well! Then you need this... and this.
Thank you.
Fancy fur coat here!
Where is his wallet.
Monster!
God heaven! Run for your lives!
- Are you alright? - I'm all right!
Don't worry, boy. You're safe now.
Can you see what I see?
- A tiny Elf. - It can not be.
Am I drunk?
Tough guy!
I told you, stop tormenting the birds!
Stop! Come on you! Out!
Out!
Fly safe!
Don't even think about it!
My darling Miss Dudley,
it seems that some kind of conspiracy is going on in Moscow.
The real Peter The Great never came back from England!
Halt!
Why are you here?
I have an appointment with the prison chief.
Using my maps, Lord Menshikov has blocked all the roads.
Until the real Russian Tsar returns to his throne,
I can only go East...
- I would like to see Mr. James Hook! - Milady, sorry.
- Mr. James Hook is temporarily engaged. - What's going on here?
It's a fight with the prisoners.
Is that Mister James Hook? I've heard he has a savage temper.
At this very moment, the prisoner is beating Mister Hook.
Well, it wasn't your day.
The fair fight is the only way out of here!
Anyone who can get to the top is free.
Who is next?
It seems that Master is not here... We must return to China.
Cheng Lan will need our help.
Milady, Mr. Hook is kinder and fairer than you might think.
Zhong Zhe, go and find Cheng Lan!
This man won his freedom in an honest fight!
Let him go! He is free!
I won't abandon my brothers! We will fight or leave together!
All right... I respect your choice.
Let them all go!
Enough for today. Break down the ring!
Go back and exercise, gentlemen! Perfect your bodies!
Remember! A healthy body houses a healthy mind!
exercise!
Allow me a moment, Miss... This way.
There's a pretty lass! Your a nice looking lady!
That's it. Come down here!
For tomorrow, could you change your routine.
My right arm is twice as long as my left.
I'll soon be able to touch the river!
I'll never learn that Master
If you don't get it, you will wear that mask forever.
You have an influential father, Miss Dudley.
Otherwise I would never let a women come to this Tower.
Please, sit down.
I hope you enjoy all the antiques that I've collected over the years.
Here, this is the helmet of Charlemagne.
And this is my pride and joy... Spartacus!
And here... is the sword of king Arthur!
Just think about that! King Arthur!
Now I could go on with this for hours! What can I do for you milady?
Mister Hook...
I have been informed that one of your prisoners
is the real Russian Tsar. Peter the First.
He hasn't been able to come home for many years, and I...
We don't have any Tsar's or kings in our prison.
We do have a Russian prisoner?
Yes, but he is a spy. Peter Mikhailov!
Well I can show you!
I'll be very careful, Miss Dudley!
Don't walk any closer to the prisoner then this line!
- They can be very aggressive! - Could you please leave us alone?
- I need to speak to them. - Just scream if you need help.
Please, let me touch you! Please! Please!
Just one touch!
Bring your beautiful little ear over here
and I'll tell you my secret!
It will be our secret!
You're too old to be a king.
And you don't look like a Russian.
So it must be you. Are you the Russian Tsar?
Off course I am. Don't you see that.
My husband's life depends on you getting your throne back.
He is supposedly in Russia heading East with some Chinese boy...
Have you received a new letter?
Here it is. My assistant is very young and childlike,
but he has great strength, courage and unprecedented skills.
I would have taken him for a girl at first glance,
if I hadn't seen Cheng Lan with my own eyes
dealing with a whole pack of robbers in the woods.
- Cheng Lan is my daughter. - Daughter?
Cheng Lan is a girl?
Jonathan... is traveling with a girl?!
I'd never have come here if I'd known.
- He's traveling with a girl... - Wait!
It says that he thinks it's a boy. Maybe nothing happened yet.
Yet? Nothing happened?
Can you help us?
Just make sure the gate is open.
- Why would I believe you? - My daughter will lead him to China!
Do you really want to see your husband alive again?
Of course I do!
It seems that the old man has already got it's freedom.
Good heavens!
What happened to him?
Is he dead?
The soul of one of your prisoners has escaped!
That's impossible!
He is dead indeed!
How peculiar!
- Well, at least he died happy. - Why do you think so?
As far as I know, he hasn't seen a woman in thirty years.
All right, take him out! One mouth less to feed.
Hey, the old man died! Let's get him out of here.
Now I have to tell you, we do have some impostors in here.
We have one man who believes that he is Christopher Columbus.
And another one, he thinks he is Don Quixote!
Stay back!
So now you won't tell us where the buried treasures are?
This man was like a legend.
He's been all his life in the Tower.
Oh Shit!
Your hand, Master!
Don't move, or I'll shoot!
Something happened!
Raise the ladder!
Take my hand, milady.
- Don't move! - Come on! The Dragon Fist!
Oops, sorry! Go!
Go down!
Please don't let go of me.
In five hundred years no one has ever escaped.
Go back to your cells.
Do you want to jump?
Come on. Go back to your cells.
Do they think I'm joking?
Stop or I'll shoot!
Evert hing is fine. Calm down. I said calm down!
Don't shoot!
I'll deal with them!
You're free my friends!
Hey little shrimp. Come on, get down!
Master I'm in trouble! I've got to hold it!
Oh, you little snake!
I'm so afraid!
- What are you doing? - I want to find something!
We don't have time!
That's enough protection, you're to rough. That's enough.
- What are you looking for? - A seal!
- This one? - No, like this!
Take that!
- Look up there! - Don't move!
It's been awhile since I had a sword in my hand!
Stop it!
- You can't stop here! - I said stop here!
- You can't stop here! - Now stay here!
I found it!
- Push harder! Damn it! - It's stuck!
Give this to Cheng Lan.
How will I find her?
The Seal is magic, If you have it, it can help you!
- I swear to find her! - Get out of here!
Stop!
I said you can't stop...
- Over here! - Faster! Go!
Aim, fire!
Stop the carriage!
I've been waiting for this for a long time!
You will make a fine specimen in my collection.
- You're a great fighter! - You are very strong, too!
Just remember we are still chained to each other.
So you're not going anywhere.
- No one has ever escaped the Tower. - So I'm going to be the first.
After him! Quick! Faster!
You look better this way!
And you... you look younger!
Do I?
No-no! Don't touch this!
That's the helmet of Genghis Khan!
- Helmet?! - Yes!
This is the incense pot! So stupid...
No! This is the spear of Alexander the Great!
No, don't touch that one!
No! This is the sword of the Turkish sultan!
No!
No! No! No! No-No-No!
What should I do?!
Good! That's fair!
Where did you come from?
You won't get away from me that easy!
Gentlemen, please stop now or we'll be killed!
Goodness! Are you alright? Can I help you?
- What's going on there? - He escaped from the Tower!
You're heavier than me! You're only helping me!
You are helping me get down.
Look up there! He is on the top! You're free! Come on!
Not today!
And where is the China man? You escaped together!
- He said he bring Jonathan home. - I'll be doing that for him.
Sure you can do it?
Yes! I need to return the Seal! I gave him my word.
Are you going to China?
Take me with you!
Hey!
Get out of my way.
A Russian ship, were in luck. Where is it headed?
To China.
- And who are you? - Are you blind?
Why don't I remember you?
Throw it near those barrels with Makheevs's sauce.
Go faster.
- Oh, hey there darling! - Hey, don't touch me!
Take your hands off me!
Excuse me Ladies, could you tell me how to book passage on the Russian ship?
My dear, you don't need this hat with such fine hair!
Oh, stop it! Stop it!
Get off! Get away we don't need...
- Get out. - What are you doing.
I'm doing well what I damn well please.
Ladies I'll be sailing soon so
I need something to drink
and someone pretty to share it with.
Well, it looks like I have no choice...
That's a ruble I could buy a fine mare in Moscow for that!
Hey Russian!
Will you take me to your ship?
A woman on a ship means trouble.
- I'm in a hurry. - I'm in a hurry too!
Quickly then! Let's go!
Where is the captain's case of whiskey?
And who are you?
This gentleman hired us.
Yes, let them through!
What's that?
Stop! This is mine!
Come with me, sir.
Where are you going?
Come back here!
Stop and put it down!
- Is this single-malt? - Yes, sir!
So you know your whiskeys, do you?
Yes I do.
Kiev are sure this is the captain
who take us to China?
- Pour me! - It's written all over his face.
I found him at the port tavern, haunt of all the old sea dogs...
Cast off the lines! You, landlubbers!
Clear the moorings!
Stop! You forgot me! Stop!
I'm one of you! I'm Russian!
Wait! Don't leave me here!
You can't leave me here!
Stop it! Wait! Wait!
Sail on!
Let's see how you train this time around!
Dear Miss Dudley, I proceed on my journey to the East.
The longing in my heart for you grows with the distance between us.
My way is filled with dangers, and leads me
anywhere but home.
Now we are crossing the Baikal,
the most beautiful lake in the entire world!
I leave Russia heavyhearted.
The future of this country without the real Peter the Great
is gloomy and unknown.
What's the Captain's name?
And which port does this ship belong to?
What did you drink, you tin scarecrow?!
The bucket is used for completely different purposes on this ship.
How dare you laugh, dirty servants?
Kneel before your Tsar!
- Tsar? - And you, call the Captain!
He's right here!
- Where? - Here!
- Where I don't see him! - Here!
- What is it? - Where the heck is he from?
Throw this trash in the hole.
And you are here, Mi...
Boatswain, there's a storm up ahead!
Captain, look over there! There's a storm coming.
Take command!
Lower the topsail and the top gallant sail! Raise the head sail!
Move faster! You are all moving like turtles!
- A woman! - Lady bloomers?!
- A woman. Everybody search! - Here!
Check all the cabins! Go!
Let's find her!
Looks like Captain's assistant is a girl!
- The mouse trap is about to close! - Help me!
What are you doing here?
The London police were looking for me because of you!
Give me the keys!
Don't touch me!
Hey stop it!
Or I'll show you Dragon Fist punch!
Everybody! On deck!
It will break us into splinters!
Where's the Captain?
I'll take over the wheel! And we will cross this wave through.
Tie the cannons!
God all mighty with your heavenly powers help me overcome this storm.
Rocks ahead!
- I'll go between! - We can't, can we!
Turn!
Zhong Zhe, hold on!
All together!
I see the light!
Everyone alive?
I don't see the captain...
What is it? Who is there?
Yo ho ho and a bottle of... whiskey!
The storm has it's perks!
It tipped the bottle right over into my mouth
and gave me a snack!
Lock him up! And no more whiskey for him!
Hey what are you doing?
I'll throw you to the sharks!
Three cheers for the Tsar.
- Hurrah! - Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
I've never seen such seamanship!
Only the Peter the First could have saved us!
Dear Miss Dudley, I miss the touch of your gentle hands.
I often recall the quiet evenings we shared in England
with you and I, alone, would study geography.
They were, in a word, magical.
My journey follows the Silk Road.
Once, it was the whole world's primary trading route.
Soon, we will see the Great Wall of China.
I wish you could stand next to me
as we see this wonder of the world!
My assistant has stayed on the roof of the carriage the entire way.
Despite my efforts, I have not managed to persuade him
to come down and ride in the carriage, with me.
where it's comfortable. The boy is strangely unyielding.
It's the last of the water Chen.
- Here take it. - No. No thanks.
We have crossed the whole of China to reach Cheng's village.
There, on the edge of the Celestial Empire, is a port
where merchants from all over the world sail to buy tea.
If I am fortunate, I'll find a British ship there.
My home village has changed. I don't recognize it anymore.
There are dark clouds over Dragon Cave...
And there's a fortress wall that wasn't there before.
- What can you see? - God! Cheng.
There are soldiers beating up the farmers.
Come look.
Something is very wrong. My people are suffering.
- I must help save them! - I'm sick of this.
Let's find another port, there is nothing but trouble there.
So let's turn the carriage around and go the other way.
But I can not leave. I'm the true Princess.
Goodbye, dear Jonathan!
That tofu we took in the morning was delicious!
- Should we get more today? - Of course!
We sell our tea for a pittance
- to pay the princess's taxes! - We can't go on like this...
Shhh! Be quiet! They have ears everywhere!
- No. No! Cheaper! - That's my lowest price.
Half that price and I'll take everything!
- Fine, sold. Deal! - Did you hear that?
He bought all the tea! We'll eat meat tonight.
Here, quickly! Hurry up!
Make way!
Stop!
Get lost!
Spread out! Surround the square!
Filthy peasants. Pay the gold and be gone!
We do so much for you,
begging to the Dragon not to be angry
and to grant us the healing tea!
Please accept this, Lord Treasurer.
Play on!
Gold! Where did you hide the gold?
You'd best hand it over if you value your own homes.
You know the tea isn't what it was.
My customers spit out most of what they buy.
That's all I have.
And this? What is this?
You thought you could even short change us imbeciles.
You stupid knitwhits,
you don't understand that we have magical powers.
We always know what is real gold!
These pricks think they can trick us with iron.
You baboons.
And who do we have here?
For how long are you going to rob us all?
The tea has lost its powers! You'll make us all sick!
- Don't say that! - So we have a rebel on our hands!
Arrest him! The Dragon will deal with him tomorrow!
What are you doing? Let my grandpa go! Let him go!
I'm speaking the truth!
Got you!
How could you? You traitor!
The Moon has come down to earth!
Happiness has graced our village! You've finally returned!
Li Hu, you have to leave. It's too dangerous!
It hurts me princess, these are not my way's.
I saw you robbing these people.
What ever happened to being a White Magician?
You swore to serve the people and the Great Dragon!
- Ah, Princess! What are you doing here? - Li Hong?
Do you think you can walk around unrecognized!
You are my friend. I don't want to fight you!
Why are you torturing us like this?
Left, right. Left, right... Left, right. Left, right...
Princess!
Princess, here you go, this is all for you!
My Moon!
Oh my Sun!
- I thought I saw her! - Who?
- The real princess. - What?!
So did you or did you not see the Princess?
I'm not sure if it's really her.
Oh, Great Sovereign of the lands!
You are the Sun... I mean the Moon...
Shut your mouth!
- Oh, my love! - Get off!
Gather the people immediately!
And make everyone see that the Dragon obeys me!
I'll have to put on that vile mask of her face again...
Such a shame to hide my beautiful face!
Yes Princess, so pretty.
Soon the time will come when...
when I finally recover the Dragon Seal,
and show them all my true face!
Allow me to introduce the Princess, the True Beauty
and a Great Ruler chosen by the Dragon!
She's always delighted to greet and welcome the foreign guests!
Let me introduce myself! My name is Jonathan Green.
I'm a scientist and a cartographer!
I draw maps of the places that I've visited.
Here you go my princess.
This map shows the lands all the way from here to Europe!
We could ship our tea there
by land, not just by sea.
What is the purpose of your visit?
I took a detour from my journey
to see your famous Dragon.
Are you the legendary Princess of the White Wizards
and the keeper of the secret of the healing tea?
Yes, I am the Princess,
the Master of the Dragon.
I have... I have an assistant... Cheng Lan.
He has a remarkable resemblance to you, I mean you could be twins.
You are not related, are you?
Indeed...
We do look alike.
Can we show him the Dragon?
The Witch has taken your appearance.
Everyone thinks she is the chosen one!
She's forcing the Dragon to execute people!
If the Master has the Dragon Seal, how are they able to control him?
Look, isn't that you?
Now I understand why the overseas sculptor made a bust of me.
They used it as a cast!
It's you again? What are you doing here? Where is Jonathan?
Jonathan Green! He's my friend.
We have to warn him that he's in danger.
Today we are blessed on Earth
Our lovely Princess beautiful as the world.
comes down and to bless us.
And now you'll will be forever so grateful!
Be careful!
Behold, this witch has believed
collected the last number of tea leaves!
Surely she can work better! And is worth keeping alive.
Her fate may only be decided by one will. The Dragon!
"Be careful, you're in mortal danger."
"We need a map of the palace to save you."
As a English man grateful to his gracious host, I wonder
would the Princess be interested in me making
a detailed map of the kingdom?
You may commence work at your convenience.
Well I suggest we commence immediately!
She has everyone fooled!
It looks like she is using the ancient magic.
But that isn't the real Dragon Seal at all!
Oh, Great Dragon! Save my grandfather!
What's happening? What is this.
How is this possible?
How could she force the Dragon to do this?
This place is no different from a prison.
Once you come to this village, you can never leave again.
We've tried to handle the guards.
But the dark Wizards are helping them,
- so it's useless. - Sister, are you hurt?
This girl's grandfather was executed today.
Her mother was sold into slavery.
Please, don't cry. I promise we'll get your mother back.
Do you know the Dragon song?
Sing it for me...
Stars are twinkling in the sky
The moon cries its tears out.
Children living in the darkness
Neither do they have moms nor homes...
Tea trees in the South
Putting forth buds with tears and sweats.
The Great Dragon
Do you see us crying aloud?
Demons are destroying
Our homelands without mercy.
We are calling for your help
Saving us from oppression...
Silence! Enough singing.
And left!
Frightening, but quite impressive.
These are Russian traders, here to buy our tea.
They want to buy all the tea in the village.
- Let them in! - Oh thank you!
Oh, finally, the ground! I'd love to eat something...
as long as it's not a seafood.
Snakes! Tarantulas! Scorpions! Alive! Try some!
- Live scorpions! Try some! - I'm not really hungry!
Snakes! Scorpions! Scrumptious live! Try some!
Sir, try this tea!
- Why are you doing this? - I'm looking for the Princess!
Hey look! He has the Dragon Seal!
I saw the Dragon Seal! Some foreigner has it...
He's with the guards.
A-mazing!
This isn't magic. It's just science!
Well I'm wondering If you have forgotten,
that you promised me to search for my husband.
While I would really appreciate if you could stay focused on that.
And not let ourselves be distracted.
And stop behaving like a idiot.
And for goodness sake stop showing this thing to everyone.
Where's the Tsar? Where's the Tsar?
What happened?
Don't move, or I'll break your arm!
What did you do to my father? How did you get this Seal?
- Who are you? - Cheng Lan?
How do you know my name?
Hands up!
- Thank you, darling! - I am not your darling!
So I want to hear your story now.
We've arrived here from Moscow...
A wonderful man saved me from certain death.
- His name is Jonathan Green. - Jonathan...
Wait, wait, wait.
I suppose it was the best journey of his life!
Full of wonderful discoveries! Just two of them.
A lot must have happened, I would think!
Yes, there were different situations.
But I must say, I always felt good and safe around him.
- Where is he? - Miss Dudley, please!
I'm sorry, Princess! This is his fiancee.
His wife. Mother of his son...
- We only... - I don't need any excuses...
You chaps know where the bathroom is?
I'm a servant of the Queen! Unhand me! I'm a British...
Do you still not understand where you are?
I am the law here, and my power is boundless.
What powers?! I have seen your inventions...
Spears, arrows... These are brass toys.
From a bygone century!
You're a blind man, just exactly like all the others!
I didn't resurrected any ancient army.
I just put my soldiers in invulnerable armor!
We've learned to control lightning.
And we can control the power of sound...
And very soon, when I have the Seal of the Dragon,
I will rule the world! And you are the perfect bait!
When she finds out I've decided to execute you,
she'll deliver herself right into my hands!
Take him away!
Where the Hell did you bring us?
I believe it's my turn to ask questions.
So, how did you get my father's seal?
I am very grateful to your father.
Both of us were imprisoned in the Tower of London.
All those long British evenings
he kept teaching me the secrets of his amazing arts!
And I learn a lot from him!
Should I believe you.
You don't believe me! Now watch!
What are you laughing at?!
I broke the chains, and I stopped a storm like this.
Give them back their weapons.
Thank you!
Now you actually do believe me.
I can say that you are the true princess.
Take it. This is yours.
I am very grateful to you!
A Chinese monster?
You may not believe this, but these creatures are from Russia.
This is Jonathan's handwriting!
Do you know what it is? Do you understand?
I know how to read it. We'll need a...
Mirror!
Oh my rising Sun... The moon has come down from heaven!
I have good news I have brought them! Here.
Princess, please forgive us. We were unable to find your father.
I swear to serve and protect you for the rest of my life!
Is this really all you have to tell me about your long trip?
We have found the Dragon Seal.
You've found it? So give it to me!
A nobleman has it. The Russian Tsar,
Peter the Great!
Zhong Zhe, stay here. And you bring me the Russian Tsar!
Princess! But how did you...
- Who is in the palace? - She's an evil witch!
She uses a mask with the Princess' face and rules in her stead!
Our brother just swore to give his life in service of that witch!
She tricked all of us.
Princess he's only in love with you.
He would never have been faithful to her if he knew.
The Witch and her servants believe that the Palace is inaccessible.
He made a very accurate map!
We can get in through the cave under the water.
My Cossack's can do a lot of things.
They will release Jonathan Green and you will get to your Dragon.
My people can also attack the palace by air.
What do you mean, by air?
Jonathan Green is not only a great cartographer he's a great scientist!
He has calculated everything precisely according to the flight of a bird.
Please, go gather all the umbrellas in the village.
I will get to the Dragon, show him the Seal
and hope he recognizes that I am the true Princess.
We also need to come up with new weapons to break through their defenses.
I suggest we use pepper! We will answer their spears and arrows
with pepper from our crossbows.
It remains to be seen how we will deal with the Magicians.
Demons are destroying
Our homelands without mercy.
We are calling for your help
Saving us from oppression...
Stand firmly with a loyal heart,
March forward fearlessly to safeguard the homeland.
Among mountains and rivers echoed ancient heroic songs,
And the Dragon Legend carries the fragrance of tea leaves.
She thinks that I have the Seal. So we will give us some more time!
I'll go and prepare myself too. I need to change my dress!
I can't fight in this...
The battle is commencing.
Help me with my corset!
I'm not your servant, lady. But alright.
Take me with you. You won't regret it!
I'll think about it.
You want to kill me?!
You bastards! Or I'll kill you!
Good luck!
Hey, what about me?
Hey, stop! What do you need that many umbrellas for?
It's going to be hot today.
Will it be that sunny?
Your Highness, what brings you to my domain?
Dear Princess, I have a very important mission to press you..
Perhaps we should talk privately then. Come with me.
That was fast...
There are legends about me in Russia.
Don't let her break your heart, your majesty.
Stay there, I'll be right back.
Come with me.
Ah, such beautiful chambers!
What in God's name is happening.
And now let's have another fair and judged execution!
Let the Dragon decide the fate of the foreign traveler!
- That's is my husband! - Is he your husband?
Please, have mercy!
If this is your husband, then it's a completely different story!
Now I see things differently. Well, then, arrest her too!
- Let me go! Keep away! - Take their weapons away!
They are lying to you! She's not the real princess.
Tie her up with the other foreigner! The white-skinned woman is a witch!
Delicious!
Who's there!
Go right!
Now, open the mouth at him! Pull back the rope!
- Lads, that's not the real dragon! - Let's take it all down!
Rip the other line!
Who... Who's that?
Who is it? I can hear you.
But I don't understand you. Speak clearly...
Open the mouth wider!
What do you want?
We have our men out there!
We were waiting for Cheng Lan.
Now we have to throw you out as another prisoner.
This one is done, search him and bring the Seal to me.
I'll prepare to meet with... the Dragon now.
Pump the bellows!
Get the blower ready!
That's it! Clear it up!
Prepare the lightning charge!
More! Open the mouth wider!
and move his paws.
Where did you come from?
Everybody swam, so I swam too...
- Easy! - All right!
Cut this one too!
And here comes a surprise!
Hello beautiful, still remember me.
Now you're free!
Emma?!
- Run! - Emma...
Oh, I'm sorry!
It's you! It's really you!
My father was right! Why didn't I listen?
Why did you do that for?
Now do you understand?
- You are upset... I can see that. - Of course I'm upset!
You traveled in the same carriage as that... girl!
What girl? What are you talking about?
The most beautiful girl in China!
I love you!
- Get away! - Not now!
Bloody hell! Run!
Run! Faster!
Shields! Spears!
Archers ready!
Shoot!
Get ready! Shoot!
Emma! Give me your hand!
Emma!
Pepper!
Get ready!
Pepper! Pepper!
Hurrah!
Dragon! I command you to obey me.
I'm here to save you now.
- Your Majesty... - What? Where is the Seal?
Your Majesty, this is everything we found.
I've got to do everything myself!
A bit more!
Get the suit ready!
Bring them! Hurry up!
There's nothing left.
They destroyed the laboratory!
Where is the Seal?!
Darling, for your information
people have been trying to poison me right from my birth.
So now, there is no poison that affects me.
Get us up, if you don't want me to kill her.
Hold on, I am here!
Oh my incomparable Princess, we are finished!
The forces are running out
and the rebels will soon take over the palace
- and they have defeated the magicians! - Let her go!
What should we do my princess? What should we do?
I've already actually shaved today.
I have a plan. As I already said, we should run!
Your right. Go gather up all the gold.
Kill him now!
Zhong Zhe! No!
She is not Cheng Lan! She is the Witch!
What are you waiting for? I said kill him!
Zhong Zhe, trust us! We are your brothers.
Oh, gold, gold. My precious gold.
Stand by your oath! What are you waiting for?
Kill him now!
Don't listen to her!
You swore your oath to Cheng Lan, not this witch!
Is it true?
Don't listen to them! I am Cheng Lan!
Zhong Zhe! No!
- Finally, you'll be mine! - Your majesty...
Your to heavy, the boat can't carry the two of us!
Definitely a witch!
So long, fools!
Mistress! Mistress!
My Princess, my Sun!
Our Mistress needs our help!
I'll take your mask off!
And I will take the Dragon Seal away from you!
You are not worthy of this Seal!
It only goes to those chosen by the Dragon!
The Great Dragon is free!
Look!
Let's go! This way! Quikly!
Stop it! Spare yourself the humiliation!
Maybe people will forgive you.
How are you doing this?
Take the Seal away from her!
I don't need you any more!
Your Majesty, why are you doing this?
Come!
Perfect timing! She is the impostor!
- Take her away! - What did she say?
This is the true Princess! I gave her the Seal myself!
- Then, this is the fraud! - That's an impostor!
- She is not the real Princess! - Silence her!
Here is Lue Chang now.
Wait. Wait, don't hurt her.
She is Cheng Lan. He recognized her! He can't be wrong!
She is my friend! She is the real Princess!
Please don't die Jonathan, not when I've just found you!
Please! Look at me!
You, silly foreigners!
Now I control the power of the Seal!
And I am the Chosen!
Dragon,come to me!
I command you! To fly to me!
I command you!
I have the Seal!...
Nasty creature!
No!
I command you to save me!
No!
Please, don't die, Jonathan!
- Your son is waiting for you! - My son?
Yes, you have a son.
Please, please, please don't die! No!
Hurrah! Now you have to defend.
Fight with me, Daniel! Fight with me, Daniel!
Oh! A pigeon! Look!
Dear father, please forgive the smudged writing.
I've been crying so much in the last few days...
I cry... From happiness...
Finally I've found him!
- You saved my life... - That's true.
The one person who could really help us right now, is the Master
the one who's jailed in the tower.
I ask you to employ all of your influence to arrange for his release
so that he can return to China as soon as possible...
By the will of Her majesty, you are now free.
It's unfortunate to lose you already
because I've just started to learn about your art.
You are the strongest opponent I've ever had.
Free him!
Oh! By the way...
Lord Dudley mentioned something about...
A Dragon that was free?
Come with me to China.
I'll will show you everthing.
Did you really swear you were going to protect her.
for the entire rest of your life?
Yes, but I thought she was you.
It's a pity I didn't hear it.
If you've sworn it, protect me.
You see, it wasn't the Seal that gave power over the Dragon.
It was love
He sees our hearts.
He knows who is good and he helps people, with pure intentions.
That's why he give us the healing tea.
So that's it for today. Go study!
Get ready!
Start! One...
I'm so happy you finally get out of your prison.
Well... Where is the Dragon?
I left the tower to come all the way over here, to see the dragon.
He is here. He is everywhere. He is always among us.
But where?
Look!
He is everywhere!
He is in the mountains,
he is in the sea...
and the sky above us.
