"I have walked from the North Water.
"Our village was invaded.
"I have nowhere to go, and little hope left."
"She is pure of heart and brave as the wind.
"I entrust her to you.
"Please, take care of my baby.
"She is quiet and never cries."
- I can find them... - Ah!
No.
We all have our talents, Raxion.
There's another more suited to this task.
- Of course. - Mm.
Tripitaka.
Gone. Just the letter.
What do you mean, gone?
Gone where, and for how long?
It doesn't say.
Let me read that.
"I can no longer be part of this quest."
"I thought this was my destiny.
"I felt it like an arrow bursting from my chest."
"And now that arrow is blunt."
"There is another road for me that lies ahead."
It's because of what happened to Gwen.
I'll go after him.
Forget about Tripitaka.
Forget about the scrolls.
Come again?
You know as well as I do that whoever stole the first scroll could have more.
They're already working on a way to translate them.
We have to stop them. We have to get to Jade Mountain.
Monkey, they have an army.
Between the three of us we have a scythe, a rake, and a contractible pole.
- I don't like the tone you're taking with me right now. - All right.
Settle down. We're all upset, but let's not lose our heads.
Why don't we do this,
both of you head towards Jade Mountain and find out what you can about who took the scrolls,
I'll follow the monk and see if I can talk some sense into him.
We'll meet at the outskirts of the palace in two days' time, hopefully, with Tripitaka.

Good aim.
Did you read my letter?
Yes. Many times.
We all agreed you shouldn't travel alone.
What did Monkey say?
I know you think he doesn't care, but he was actually rather upset.
I'm heading north...
...and I don't want you to question me about it.
It's like you're by yourself but I'm here.
Lead on.
This is good.
We head to the Jade Mountain.
Whatever pus-soaked Demon that has taken over will be there.
We find whoever's in charge, we find the stolen scrolls.
Are we gonna stop for lunch?
The Demons stole the best years of your life.
Made you less than a God. Less than a man.
- And you're thinking about your stomach? - No.
Of course. Payback time. Totally.
I'm just saying, eventually we are gonna have to stop for lunch.
* Stew, stew, yum, yum, yum... *
* Stew, stew, stew, you're so good *
* You're so yummy-yum *
* Get in my tummy-tum... *
Look, I know that you don't need food, but please don't watch me while I eat.
Hey, that's the guy from the nightmare factory.
Let's annihilate him and his cronies,
and then ride a wave of destruction all the way to Jade Mountain.
Or, we find out who he's taking orders from,
see how far they've got with translating the scrolls.
Sure... press him for information first,
then ride the wave of destruction.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
- What? What, what? - I've got an idea.
You'll love it.
The North Water?
I said not to question me about it.
Just... making sure we have the right place.
I'm looking for my family.
I was born here.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
- Do you want me to ask around? - No! I don't.
Just... stay back.
A bag of those, please.
I'm looking for a woman.
I don't know her name, but she had a baby that she had to give away... 16, 17 years ago?
Excuse me, I'm trying to find my family...
I am not an expert in social interaction, but I'm guessing...
...you might have to try to take a different approach.

Mm.
The Tethered Goat. Genius.
Now, when the Demons get here,
I'll launch a surprise attack, cut you loose,
and together we'll expunge them from our world.
You've really come a long way.
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Now, hide.
To be honest, I did wonder, you were kind of an unusual boy.
I'm not a monk, either.
The real Tripitaka was killed by a Demon.
I was just doing whatever I could to stop Monkey from leaving.
Okay. But it did work, yes?
You found a way to control Monkey and you convinced him to join the resistance.
You're doing everything this Tripitaka person was supposed to do.
Gwen said to me before she died that I had to make a choice
or I would put lives at risk.
She said that the girl in my mother's letter couldn't be the one that journeys west.
You think it's a coincidence that your mother, whoever she is, just...
happened to leave you at the Scholar's doorstep?
The keeper of the crown? One of the leading figures of the resistance?
Hello.
Did you see a woman pass by, dark hair, maybe this tall?
- Mother! - Mother?
Do you know who I am?
Go inside.
Are those your daughters?
Your sisters.
Well, well, well.
Hey, Monkey King.
Where are your buds, huh?
Looks like the universe is at long last delivering me some luck.
Ugh.
This is my friend, Sandy.
She's a God.
I'm Meera. My daughters are Ilbryn and Brylana.
That's a mouthful.
And what was your name?
Oh! I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Sandy doesn't know her own strength.
I know how to hold a teapot.
Please, sit.
You want to know why I never came back for you.
I thought about coming back many times.
But I was sure that the life you had would be better than this.
The Scholar took good care of me.
You made a good choice.
If life was so terrible here, why did you come back?
After we fled the raids, our plan was to head to the Gandara Sea.
But my mother, your grandmother, became ill.
Line by line resync and more by Dandysubs on 20180504.
She wanted to return to the place where she was born before she died.
Perhaps after tea we could go and visit the grave.
Sandy!
How about you go and watch the children.
Have you ever been to the Gandara Sea?
We're going there soon.
They say the water is clear and the fish are silver.
And you can catch more than you can eat.
I haven't been,
but I bet you're right.
Do you know any games?
I do know a fun game.
It's a game where I ask you a question
and you have to tell me the truth.
How long have you lived here?
In the North Water?
- Not long. - Hush!
She means 'not long' 'cause she's only little.
But we've lived here a very long time.
Hm.
I know how hard this must have been for you.
This isn't much of a home.
But...
...if you were willing to come with us,
and to travel to the Gandara Sea, well...
...maybe there we could make a home.
For all of us.
Thanks.
Since you showed up
I've suffered a cut in wages,
a subsequent loss of status.
Your presence has left a permanent mark against me.
How's the stew? Hm?
Mmm.
On the positive side,
the boss has a major beef with you.
You're public enemy number one, Monkey King.
Last I heard, he was throwing everything into your capture.
Now you're here, under my capture.
So maybe it's all coming together for me, eh, boys?
- Hurry! - What took you so long?
Long story.
Okay, Demon, time to put an end to your centuries of boring patter.
Wait a second. Just wait.
If you kill me, you'll never get into Jade Mountain.
- How do you know we're going to Jade Mountain? - You want to find out who's behind all this.
The one with the Sacred Scroll. He's the one you want to stick a knife into.
I could help you get close to him.
And why would you do that, exactly?
Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
So, we hate him, you hate him, but we also hate each other,
so we join our hate and work together.
- They really don't make Gods the way they used to, do they? - Mm.
- Oh... - Oh.
I'm curious...
how does a mother all on her own make a living in a place like this?
Uh, we fish.
You fish?
In that?
Know anything about fishing?
Enough to know that there's no fish in that river.
- Sandy. - Are these really your daughters?
Sandy, that's enough!
Is that one of your powers, detecting fish?
One of them.
And I'll tell you something I've become particularly good at over the years,
and that's knowing when someone is hiding something.
Sandy, stop it. You're scaring them.
Can I talk to you in private?
- Sandy, you have to let me go. - She's lying to you.
You don't know that.
I'm going to drain this foul-smelling swamp,
then you'll see that there's nothing here but a pile of rotten bones.
Don't.
Sandy, stop!
Why are you doing this?
This is all I have left!
All you have left?
What about us? What about the quest?
- She's my mother. - How do you know that?
I just do. I... I can feel it.
And say she is your mother, you know nothing about her.
All you know is that when things became difficult she discarded you like an unwanted rag.
That's not true.
Don't be betrayed by your own emotions, Tripitaka. You are smarter than that.
My name is not Tripitaka!
You wouldn't understand what it's like to lose a family.
To always feel like a part of you is missing.
I wasn't born in a sewer, you know.
Since we're being so honest with each other...
...I'll let you in on something.
I didn't choose to live like this.
I grew up in a fishing village.
One day, when I was not much older than those girls,
my father took me out onto the boat, into rough seas.
I was trying to drop the anchor when I fell into the water.
But to my surprise, I didn't drown. In fact, I found the stillness of the sea rather comforting.
That was the beginning of my transformation. I started to...
hear the cries of the creatures that we caught in our nets.
All day, and into the night, I heard them scream.
Until one day I couldn't bear it any longer, I decided to cut them loose.
It wasn't long before my family found out.
I told them about the voices.
My father took me in the middle of the night, so as to not upset my brothers and sisters.
We drove for a whole day until, finally...
he stopped by the side of the road, sat me down...
and told me that I was a Demon and that, for the sake of my family...
I should never return to the village.
I started to cry.
I cried a lot that day. I cried...
...till there was nothing left to cry. Until the sound of my own wailing became...
...somewhat amusing.
For the longest time,
I used to think they really believed I was a Demon.
And then I realised...
...people believe what they want to believe.
I wish you well, Tripitaka.
You and your new family.
Good woman of the North Water,
will the girl be joining you on your trip to the Gandara Sea?
Yes.
- And the God? - No.
Then you have done very well.
The Master will be pleased.
Why are we stopping?
You have to leave.
But why?
I thought I could do this. They said they'd take my girls if I didn't.
I'm not your mother.
What?
Please, just...
...leave now.
Promise me something.
Promise me you'll take them to the Gandara Sea.
Wait.
I can tell you one thing about your mother.
She'd be proud of the woman you've become.
I hope my girls grow up to be as strong as you.
New delivery. Big one.
What happened to your men?
Well, funny story, actually.
Uh, there was this, uh... this lion...
...leapt out of a tree,
or it might have come from underneath a log, and...
Welcome home.
Tripitaka.
Welcome.
Who's that?
It's Davari.
You and I are about to change the world.
