It's the most important step
in a woman's life, isn't it?
:11:08
You're not married, are you?
:11:11
What do you think?
:11:12

freely if you were.
:11:16
You're probably right.
:11:37
TE'S
:11:51
Go ahead, Governor Yu.
:12:04
2 feet 9 inches long.
:12:07
1 inch wide.
:12:09
The handle is 1 inch deep,
2.6 inches wide.
:12:12
7 tenths of an inch thick.
:12:16
With seven rubies missing
from the hilt.
:12:19
You can tell the design
:12:21
dates back
to before the Chin era.
:12:24
Engraved with a technique lost
by the time of the Han Dynasty.
:12:27
Your knowledge is remarkable,
Sir Te.
:12:32

:12:34
It comes alive
only through skillful manipulation.
:12:38
I see your point.
Please continue.
:12:41
The Imperial Court
isn't the problem.
:12:44
With royalty and officials
everywhere...
:12:48
the Royal Guard
keeps security tight.
:12:53
But Peking is not like the West.
:12:55
Here, you'll find
all sorts of characters.
