[Shang] You have the distinct
honor of being the last outpost
not under the banner
of the Black Dragon.
And despite what you've heard,
the Black Dragon are here
to protect you,
to keep you safe.
All it costs is a pledge of loyalty
and a small tax.
I can see your hesitation to comply.
So, let me introduce you to the man
who will convince you.
The leader of the Black Dragon.
The ruler of the Wasteland.
All kneel before... King Kano.
[g*ons cheering]
Master...
You've done well, Shang Tsung.
Why don't you pick
two souls for dinner tonight?
Thank you...
[snidely] My king.
Good day, everyone.
How would you all like a little story?
Once upon a time, before the Wasteland,
before the revenants,
you all lived together in small boxes,
fat, bored, and lacking purpose.
Then, the wars came,
and you ran off into
your little corners of the world.
But the revenants kept coming.
And now, your resources are scarce.
You're scared for your life.
-But under my banner...
-[mechanical body whirrs]
...you'll all have purpose again.
Your pathetic lives will have meaning.
It's time to take back
the Wasteland once and for all.
-[g*ons cheering]
-[laughs]
All you have to do
is pledge your loyalty,
and I'll do the rest.
[man whimpers]
[people gasping]
[woman sniffling]
There's a good lot.
[woman sobbing]
Welcome to the Black Dragon!
[g*ons cheering]

Hey, old timer. Where are you headed?
There ain't nothing
for miles around here.
[Kuai Liang] Huh? Hey.
Kobra, Kabal, look at this.
It's all fresh.
Where'd you get that, huh?
You deaf or something?
I'm talking to you.
-[Kuai Liang strains, grunts]
-[Kobra grunts]
[groans]
[both laughing]
I'll k*ll you for that.
No, let me reason with him.
We don't wanna hurt you, elder.
Just tell us where you got the food,
and where you're taking it.
And then we'll let you go.
Fine. Have it your way.
[Kuai Liang grunts]
-[Kabal strains]
-[Kuai Liang groans]
-[Kabal panting]
-[Kuai Liang grunts]
It's not too late. Where were you going?
[Kuai Liang groans]
[Kabal] What kind of man
doesn't fight back?
[groans softly]
Take what you want.
[Kobra snickers]
[both straining]
[Kabal] He was headed somewhere.
And I aim to find out where that is.
[Kobra laughing]
Come on, it's getting late.
Not yet.
That old man was headed someplace.
Maybe he was nuts.
Desert will do that to you.
You would know. Let's go back
before King Kano throws a fit.
[Kabal] We'll go back when I'm ready.
King Kano be damned!
I'd watch it, Kabal.
He's made of something.
Something bad, something powerful.
You'd be wise to remember that.
[Kabal] Will you look at that?
Jackpot.
[people talking indistinctly]
Look at all of them.
They have no idea who we are.
Food, electricity, yeah.
Kano is gonna love this.
[Kabal] If we decide to tell him.
Hey, you need to pay for... [groans]
-[grunts]
-[both laughing]
[Kabal] You know,
this might be our chance.
We've talked about it before.
Doing our own thing
without Kano breathing down our neck,
and look...
Well hidden, well stocked.
Better than the scraps we get at K-Town.
[scoffs] I don't think they'll just
let us walk in and take over.
[Kabal] What choice do they have?
You think anyone here
is going to put up a fight?
[Kenshi] I can think
of one guy who might.
Ooh, looks like we have a hero.
[people gasping]
Hero? No, I'm just
looking for a challenge.
And, well,
you guys will have to do
until I find one.
[laughs]
Some snot-nosed desert rat
wants to kick my ass.
I don't want to kick your ass.
I want to kick all three of your asses.
[all laughing]
Kobra, take care of him.
With pleasure.
[Kobra grunts]
[groans]
[Kira grunting]
[groans]
[groans]
You'll pay for that.
[Kabal grunting]
[groans]
I'm going to k*ll you!
[Kabal grunts]
[groans]
[Kabal grunting]
You just made a big mistake.
Won't be my last.
I wouldn't count on that.
Do you know what you've done?
Listen, I didn't do it to help you.
I was hoping this town might
give me a challenger worth fighting.
No. Don't you know who they were?
Those are members of the Black Dragon.
The most deadly scourge
on the Wasteland.
After what you did,
they're going to come back,
and this time, none of us will be safe.
Come back? Hmm.
Maybe I'll stick around after all.
[woman straining]
[crowd cheering]
[grunting, straining]
[man] What are you doing?
Stop f*cking around.
[grunting]
[groans]
Look at that. [laughs]
She's got you now.
[grunts]
-[strains]
-[groans]
[crowd cheering]
[man] Come on!
[grunts]
No, she's hurt. I'm not going to k*ll--
[man laughing]
[gasps]
Thank you, King Kano.
[crowd cheering]
Aw, she's dead.
Well, that was fun.
[cheering and laughing]
Oh, the children have returned.
Where have you little bastards been?
We found another outpost.
It was well defended.
[Kira] We'll go back and take them.
k*ll every last one. Just let us--
[Kano] Quiet!
Tremor.
Why don't you go back with these three?
See who could
possibly reduce my elite guard
to a puddle of weakness.
[Tremor] Yes, King Kano.
Shang Tsung?
Now, where have you gone?
[energy pulsating]
[Kano] Boo!
[laughing]
[hesitates] Sire, I was just
leaving your decanter.
I know you like to have it full.
Yes. Yes, I do.
Ah. [burps]
Oh, pardon me.
If that is all--
[Kano burps] I need you
to do something for me.
-Anything.
-Follow Tremor.
He's going to a small city
hidden between the dunes.
Sire, there's much to do here. I--
Will do what your king asks.
Yes? Yes.
He and the others have been planning
to defect for some time now.
And you know how I feel
about those usurping my power?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yes. Go.
Report back to me
the truth of what you see.
As you wish.
Not long now.
[screeching]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
[groans]
Ahhh!
[gasping]
[clucking]
[pigs grunting]
Kuai, I didn't see you yesterday.
I was held up.
Widow Reynolds
has been asking about you again.
I told her you were a eunuch.
I'm afraid that might not dissuade her.
[Kuai Liang chuckles]
[talking indistinctly]
-Ladies...
-[women laughing]
It can't be.
Hey, old man,
quite a crop you have there.
I've been all over the Wasteland,
and I've never seen
this much fruit in one place.
You need a lot of water
for something like this, or...
Maybe the Lin Kuei taught you
more than fighting, huh?
I saw your tattoo.
Is it true what they say?
That the Lin Kuei were
the deadliest warriors to ever live?
Never heard of them. Sorry.
Is this kid bothering you?
No. No, no, no. My mistake.
I thought he was someone else.
[exhales]
[chuckles] Never heard of them, huh?
Kuai, do you need me to--
What do you want?
What do I want?
I, Kenshi Takahashi, want to be
the greatest fighter to ever exist.
So, I want you to teach me
everything that you know.
I know anyone looking
to prove themselves as great
-knows only one thing.
-Yeah, what's that?
They know nothing.
Listen, old man, I can pay you.
I've made a fortune fighting
in different towns, and--
I don't want your money.
I just want to be left alone in peace.
[Kabal] Peace?
The only way there will be peace
is if King Kano rules the land.
Oh, look,
you brought some more friends
I can humiliate.
[Tremor] You know,
King Kano is always looking
for capable warriors
to join the Black Dragon.
What do you think?
Want to run with the big dogs?
More like small pups.
[Tremor] There's always
the other option.
To go back
to the conversation I was having?
To apologize and kneel.
Get out of here!
We don't want your kind--
[grunts]
[Kenshi] The Black Dragon
are thugs and cowards.
If you want Kenshi Takahashi
to apologize,
you'll have to make me.
[whispers] Takahashi?
Not here.
Get out of the way, old timer.
This is not the place for fighting.
Every place is a place for fighting.
I'll tell you what. We'll leave.
Right after someone kneels before me.
[sighs]
[grunts]
[laughing]
Ha!
[grunting, breathing heavily]
[wheezes]
Here, Kuai. Let me help.
[Kuai Liang grunts]
You like picking on old men?
How about you pick on me?
Don't mind if I do.
[grunting]
[Kenshi grunts]
[grunting]
[both grunt]
[both grunting]
Enough!

[grunting in pain]
[grunting]
-[Kenshi grunting]
-[laughs wickedly]
[breathing heavily]
[cheering and laughing]
-Crush him!
-Yeah!
[Kabal] That'll teach him.
I believe you owe me an apology.
Hmm. Have it your way.
[Kenshi grunts]
[grunts]
Let that be a lesson.
No one stands a chance
against King Kano and the Black Dragon.
Be ready,
for the king will arrive soon,
and you'll all bow before him.
And if not,
what happened to this fool
will happen to you.
[Kira] Tremor, Tremor,
Tremor! [laughs]
[Kenshi groans in pain]
[breathing heavily]
[groaning]
[panting]
Please, let me help you.
Thank... Thank you.
Song. My name is Song.
[grunts]
Thank you for your help, Song. [groans]
-[groaning]
-There. Sit.
[groans]
[panting]
You know, I have been
in your position before.
You are a fine warrior.
But against those with power,
no one stands a chance.
Unless...
Unless what?
It is too dangerous.
-Forget I said--
-Please, what?
There is a sword.
It's said to have amazing powers.
More power than the man you fought.
More power than King Kano.
Take me.
If... If men exist with such abilities,
I could never be the champion
I was destined to be.
And if you know of such a w*apon...
A sword.
Yes. A sword.
Please. Help me.
Of course I will help you.
Come.
I will find us supplies.
And then, you will have your power.
And your revenge.
There.
[grunts]
These... These markings...
This language...
I can... I can read this.
"Here in the well of... of souls,
the power of the Takahashi dwells."
This... This was made by my ancestors.
It must be destiny.
[grunting]
Damn it! It's not opening.
Blood magic.
-Here.
-[groans]
What are you doing?
Place your hand on the seal.
What do you see?
[sighs] Nothing. It's empty.
No, no, no. Wait.
There's a light.
It's... It's getting brighter.
Yes.
[howling]
[screams and grunts]
Yes, at last.
[grunts] Song. Song!
My eyes! Song, help me!
Song.
[chuckles maliciously]
No.
My name
is Shang Tsung.
[grunts] Shang Tsung.
[grunts] I know that name.
I was once the most
powerful force in the realms.
Before Kano.
But now, with these souls,
I will reclaim my rightful place.
Your souls are mine.
[souls howling]
Yes!
The power.
[Shang] The power!
[whooshes]
[exhales]
Now Kano will see
what it's like to be a sl*ve.
They all will.
And you, Kenshi.
What shall I do with you?
[breathes shakily] Just... k*ll me.
I don't want to live like th... [chokes]
[choking]
As you wish.
[Kenshi screams]
[man's voice] Kenshi.
[groans softly]
Who...
What... What are you?
Sento.
[Kenshi groans softly]
[Sento] I am yours.
Wield me and see.
Impossible.
[groans]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[thuds]
[groaning]
[Sento] Rise.

[groans, pants]
[Sento] Rise.

[chickens clucking]

I... I can see.
[Kenshi groans]
I can... I can see.
-[crowd cheering]
-[music playing]
[talking indistinctly]
[laughing and cheering]
[gasps]
Yeah!
[crowd laughs]
[screams]
[crowd grumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
[grunting]
How dare you?
[grunts]
[grunts]
[groans]
[both grunt]
[Kano] Wait.
You know, I'd been wondering
where you got off to,
Shang Tsung.
I went off
to find a way
to put you back in your place.
Oh.
You found the well of souls, then.
Surprised?
Come now.
Why do you think
I sent you to the outpost?
We've done this dance before.
But I thought this time,
this time you might give me
just a little bit of a challenge.
[chuckles] You want a challenge?
Good.
[people screaming]
No! [groaning]
Oh, sorry, mate.
[grunts]
[goon screams]
-[people screaming]
-[Kano grunts]
You had no right to rule.
Huh. Not bad.
I swear, each time you're
getting a little bit better at this.
Enough of your damn nonsense.
[groans]
Your soul is mine.
Ahhh!
Oh! Eee, ooh, ah, ah, oh, ah!
[laughing]
Impossible. Your soul...
Ah, mate.
I'm way past having a soul.
[screams, groans]
[groans]
[grunts]
I keep hoping that you'd do
something different.
I figured if someone was
gonna give me a challenge,
it'd be you.
But nope.
-[Shang groans]
-[Kano] We're here again.
You.
-You're the same...
-[groaning]
...manipulating, sniveling sorcerer
that underestimates those around him.
[groans]
You can't b*at me!
-[groans]
-No one can.
-I made this world.
-[groans]
-And I'll make it...
-[groaning]
...again and again and again.
-Better luck next time.
-[groans]
[groaning]
No one beats Kano.
No one!
[all cheering] Kano! Kano! Kano!
[Kenshi groaning]
No, no... Sh... Shang Tsung...
[groans] My... my eyes.
Stop!
Rise!
[pants]
[Kuai Liang] Calm yourself.
Where... Where am I?
In my home.
Here. Drink this.
Slowly. I have more.
Thank you.
Who... Whoever you are.
My name is Kuai Liang.
But you can call me "old man,"
as you did in the marketplace.
Kuai, the... the Lin Kuei.
I'm... I'm sorry. About before.
Thank you for... for helping me.
I'm not helping you.
If you d*ed on my land,
it might attract the revenants.
You can rest here until you can stand.
But then, I want you gone.
Why wait?
I came with a sword.
Where... Where is it?
[groaning]
You obviously aren't strong enough yet.
-You can--
-No.
I don't want to burden you
with my presence.
[grunting]
Watch out. There's a...
Table.
[groans]
My sword! [breathing heavily]
[screams in frustration]
It doesn't matter.
Nothing does.
[sighs] Not anymore.
Even with this blade,
I am half the man I once was.
When I first met you,
you were so full of pride,
looking to be the best warrior.
Isn't that what you told me?
That was before.
-Before you were blind.
-Before I was beaten.
Before I was tricked by Shang Tsung.
So, without sight, you are useless?
Then it is as I said before.
You know nothing.
You're just a child.
If you're going to k*ll yourself,
be quick about it
so I can bury you before the sun rises.
[grunting]
[grunts]
[groans softly]
He took my honor.
[sighs wearily]
There is more to life than honor.
-Like what?
-Like living.
Like survival.
-Where are you going?
-Inside.
Come, if you can.
Tomorrow, I will teach you
to use your senses.
So I can find Shang Tsung.
No, I will only teach you to live.
Not to die.
Do you understand?
Rest for now.
Tomorrow, we train.
-Catch the chicken.
-[clucking]
-How do I catch... Argh!
-By not talking.
Listen.
-Hear the wind.
-[wind blowing]
-Hear the corn st*lks rustling.
-[rustling]
Yes.
Those don't matter.
The only thing that matters
-is this chicken.
-[clucking]
-[grunting]
-[clucking continues]
[grunts]
[clucks]
-[clucks]

[grunts]
[groans]
[Kenshi exclaims]
[energy pulsating]
What hangs on the wall over there?
-[Kenshi] It glows.
-[energy pulsating]
It's powerful.
A promise.
As I thought, the sword,
it allows you to see.
How did you...
It is not the first magic
I have come across.
Its name is Sento.
It... It speaks to me.
It whispers.
When I hold it, I can see.
Sort of.
Explain.
It's hard to. It's...
It's like, when you stare at a flame,
and then you look away,
you see the light of the flame
even though it's gone.
It's like that,
but there's something else.
-[sighs]
-[sword thuds]
That is... something.
Yes. I think...
[mumbling]
I can...
Hey, what did you put in this soup?
A sleeping elixir.
You should have used your nose.
[breathing heavily]
[groans]
[ice crystals clinking]
[gasps]
[ringing]
[gasps]
No! Brother, no!
Brother?
I am not your brother.
I am you.
No!
Yes.
[power surging]
[Kenshi] Kuai.
Kuai!
[gasps]
You must have been dreaming.
I thought that maybe--
Good. You're up.
Come with me.
Ready?
No! What am I doing?
[sighs]
I drop the melon.
You call the blade and slice the melon
before it hits you in the face.
And if it doesn't work?
Let's find out together, shall we?
[grunting]
[grunts]
[groaning]
Try harder.
[roaring]
[grunts]
[exhales]
[breathes heavily]
[grunts]
[Kenshi groans]
[groans]
[breathes heavily]
[grunts]
Just finish it. This isn't working.
It doesn't work because
you don't believe in yourself.
[grunts]
Believe in myself?
There's nothing to believe in.
Once, I was a great warrior.
No one could b*at me. No one.
Despite the horrors
of the world, I had that.
And now...
Now I'm a blind man
who chases chickens all day.
And that is what you will always be.
And that is why you fail. [sighs]
Do you know why I agreed to train you?
You felt sorry for me.
No.
Because I've been where you are now.
So low that the only thing
you pray for is your death.
But I learned only children
blame their circumstance.
Men change their circumstance.
Pick up the piece of wood.
-I can't.
-Do it.
Take your stance.
[Kuai Liang grunts]
Take your stance!
Or I will get your beloved sword
and end this right now.
Hear my feet.
Smell my scent.
Feel the air move around you.
Am I not louder than a chicken?
Doesn't this farmer smell worse
than a bag of vinegar?
[grunts]
Do not dwell on what you are,
but what you can be.
There is nothing more poisonous
than "I can't."
You can, if you believe.
Even if all of heaven and hell
are allied against you.
You can.
Understand?
[clanging]
[clucking]
[Kenshi breathing heavily]
[groans]
[exhilarating music playing]
[music fades]
No. You've poisoned this one.
[scoffs] No, but it might be worse.
Homemade sake.
[slurping]
[coughs]
-[Kenshi clears throat]
-[Kuai Liang laughs]
I need to ask you something.
[slurps]
I've seen the way you move.
Your... Your strength.
So why did you--
Kneel before the Black Dragon?
Yes.
You are Lin Kuei. You could--
I was Lin Kuei.
[sighs]
A long time ago, before the Wasteland...
Before...
Everything...
I had become one of the most feared
and honored warriors in our clan.
And then, the revenants came.
[growling]
It swept across cities, countries.
There were those that thought
it was a lost cause.
But I was full of pride.
I did not think the Lin Kuei
could be beaten.
We went into a city
to try and purge it of the revenants.
[revenants growling]
But they were everywhere.
Like a hive of bees.
I knew we were going to die.
But I thought...
Do you know what cryomancy is?
No.
It is a type of power.
A power I possess.
[revenants grunting]
And in that moment, fearing for my life,
I summoned a storm of ice.
[power surging]
But I lost control.
The dreams.
For a long time,
I thought the worst thing that
I could become was my brother.
I was wrong.
The storm cut through the city,
k*lling revenants.
k*lling innocents.
k*lling my clan.
When it was all over,
I was the only one to survive.
And I realized
that death begets death.
And the cycle of v*olence continues,
like the symbol of the Black Dragon,
a serpent that eats its own tail.
I swore an oath
never to use my power again.
Never to lose control.
Even if it's a worthy cause?
What's "worthy"?
If I start fighting, I won't stop.
And then the storm will return.
So, to answer your question,
if kneeling spares those around me,
I'd live on my knees.
I'm sorry.
So am I.
[clucking]
[laughing] Yes!
Victory is mine!
I've caught the bird!
Good. Now clean it for supper.
What? No! Not Simone!
[clucking]
You'll have to find it again,
if we are to eat.
Smoke. What is it?
Trouble.
[explosions, fire crackling]
So, here we are.
Oh, a bit tricky, you lot. Hiding.
Trying to stay away from me
and my Black Dragon.
But now,
you don't have to hide anymore.
You get the absolute pleasure
of my protection and authority.
And all I ask is you kneel
to honor your new king.
[groans]
-[crowd murmuring]
-[woman] He's gonna get us k*lled!
Oh! Bravery. Oh, that's new!
You know what happens
if you don't kneel, old man?
[soldier cocks g*n]
I kneel before no man.
[g*n cocks]
Go on. k*ll me, then.
But know I will die as a free man.
On my feet, instead of
on my knees, like a coward.
[laughs] Oh, I like you.
I like you, old man. Yeah. [laughs]
[Kano] Bang!
I tell you,
freedom is overrated.
What? What happened?
The Black Dragon are there.
They've made the people swear loyalty.
[sighs] Come.
We can't leave them. Not like this.
We can and we will.
No, it's not right.
Not when we have the power
to do something about it.
You go down there, and you die.
I taught you so you could live.
Remember?
You taught me to help those in need.
-No. That's not what--
-Of course you did!
Where would I be
if you didn't pick me up?
If you didn't train me?
It's not the same. I can't--
There is nothing more poisonous
than "I can't."
Don't men change their circumstances?
Or is everything you said a lie?
I can't let you go.
You can't stop me!
I'm not Lin Kuei, remember?
And this isn't the city you failed
to save from the revenants.
[snarls]
[Kuai Liang grunts]
[groans]
I... I didn't mean...
[Kuai Liang grunts]
[grunts]
[wind whistling]
[sighs wearily]
Fine. Go.
[grunts]
[both grunting]
Enough!
[growling]
[wind whooshing]
[Kenshi groaning]
[breathing heavily]
Come back to the farm.
We can avoid them, live a good life.
A good life?
Before I lost my eyes,
I would have said yes.
But you've taught me a better way.
No. No, I can't live a good life
knowing that I could do something
to help others and didn't.
I will not leave them to be
k*lled, imprisoned, or worse.
Your pride will be your downfall.
Doing what's right isn't pride.
It's honor. You showed me that.
And even if you've lost yours,
I won't lose mine.

[Kabal] What the hell?
It looks like we have
an uninvited guest.
Well, don't be shy!
Come out and show yourself.
Let these people go,
or I will k*ll every last one of you.
[laughs] Oh, check out
the balls on this bloke.
Hey, Jarek. [slurps]
k*ll him.
[grunts]
[energy pulsating]

Well, I mean, don't just sit there!
Get off your asses, people!

[Kenshi groans]
[Kabal] Time to die, blind man.
[Kano] No! Don't k*ll him.
Not yet.
-Well. Now that was...
-[groaning]
That was new. Unexpected.
You know how rare that is?
I think I'd like to know
your story, boy.
Take him with us to K-Town.
It might be nice
to make an example of him.
You know, to inspire the people.
[exhales]
[donkey bleating]
[clucking]
[dramatic music playing]
[Scorpion] I have come, as promised.
Did you lose control again?
Not yet.
[tense music playing]
Ow! Damn sharp blade, Kenshi.
Will come in handy
when I get something stuck in my teeth.
[laughs] What do you reckon?
[all laughing]
You don't deserve to touch Sento, pig!
Deserve? The only thing
we deserve in life is death.
Speaking of which,
afraid your adventure
is just about up, bucko.
-Argh!
-One more chance.
Where did you learn
how to use that blade?
Well, suit yourself. Erron!
k*ll the boy.
But do it slowly.
Argh!
Argh!
[wind blowing]
Oh. [shudders]
Is it... Is it just me, or is it
getting a little bit nippy out here?
[Kira gasps] A sandstorm?
[Kenshi] No... [pants]
An ice storm...
an uncontrollable ice storm.
You asked me who taught me the blade.
He's here.
And even if you were allied together
with heaven and hell,
there is nothing you can do to stop him.
[thumping]
[people screaming]
[rumbling]
[thudding]
[wind howling]
[g*n f*ring]
[men groan]
Ah. Well, well, well.
Ah, it's been an age.
Where have you been hiding then, eh?
Well, come on then!
[g*ons yelp]
Yes! Yes, yes!
Ah, this is the action
I've been looking for!
-[thumps]
-[groans]
[wind whooshing]
[Scorpion] He said
you could handle the rest.
[man grunts]

Huh? What the bloody hell?

[Kano grunts]
Oh, there you are.
[whispering] Oh, you think
you can b*at me?
Well, when I come back,
I'll show you what cold-hearted is.
What in the hell?
[Kano] Confused, eh?
Well, to be honest,
I was too, the first time I saw it.
It's called Kronika's Hourglass,
and with it,
I can rewrite time and history.
You... You did this?
[Kano] Yeah, I did.
I made those punters,
like Shang Tsung, grovel at my feet,
the way they deserve to.
The Wasteland? The revenants?
Well, how better
to control the masses, eh,
but keep them afraid of something.
But to be honest,
it was all getting
a bit boring, you know?
Then you appeared.
Hey, what made you take up
your snowballs and give it a go?
I finally realized
there's no honor in standing by
while the world is destroyed around you.
I prefer "made in my image."
Anyway, better luck next time,
mate.
[Kuai Liang grunts]
[grunting]
[Kano groans]
[groans softly]
We do this the hard way, then.

[Kuai Liang] Argh!
[groans]
[groaning]
I like you. Hey, I do. I like you.
I tell you what.
Kneel before me and pledge your loyalty,
and I'll set you up as king
in... Uh, I don't know.
Antarctica! [laughs]
[pants]
I kneel before no man.
[Kano screams]
[screams]
[Kano groans]
Oh, bollocks!
[Kuai Liang grunts]
[groaning]
-Where's Kano?
-Lying around.
[Kenshi] Now that Kano is gone,
the Wasteland can be free.
You and I can root out
the revenants, and we can--
-No.
-No?
You were right.
Using what you know to help others.
Something I forgot
somewhere along the way.
Because of you,
I have some sense of honor again.
Thank you.
Then work with me
to help the people of the Wasteland.
Remember what I said about my power?
I can feel it even now.
It can't be controlled.
I made a promise,
and if I don't keep it, he will.
What promise?
What are you talking about?
We can start over.
We can recreate the Lin Kuei,
and we can--
I leave that to you.
[Scorpion] It is time.
I don't understand.
The Lin Kuei, your legacy...
You are the Lin Kuei now.
Find others. Train them.
Protect Earth realm,
for there will be other threats.
And I trust you can handle them.
