NARRATOR: 1,500 years ago...
the Central Plains entered a period of great integration
of all ethnic groups in the land.
Except one group.
The Northern Grassland wanted war.
The Central Plains only wanted one thing.
Peace.
Through a secret report, the Northern Grassland
will invade the Central Plains.
And only one girl can save them all.
CHIEF: Mulan.
MULAN: Sir.
CHIEF: Your mission is to sneak into the enemy's camp
and kill the prince without fail.

Hey, Pudge.
You're not gonna be able to run if you keep eating like that.
I'll have to put you on cart duty.
(NEIGHS)
Hey. What's wrong?
(NEIGHS)
You getting mad that I called you Pudge?
Silly.
If I were you, I'd much rather be pulling carts.
You know, war is dangerous.

(GRUNTS)
Ha! Hiya! Ha!
Who are you?
You're the prince?
Yeah.
A little kid?
Yeah.
You're the one I'm supposed to kill?
Yeah, wait! No, not me!

You-- you're an assassin!

I'm an assassin.

Ah! Hiya! Ya!

Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!
I'm too young to die! Don't kill me!
Be quiet.
SOLDIER 1: Your Highness.
Is everything okay?
Uh. Uh.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Don't come in.
Uh, I'm fine.
What's wrong with the prince today?
Today? You mean every day.
Hmm.
(GASPS)
(PANTS)
Uh. Uh-oh.
And where do you think you're going?
(CHUCKLES)
Can I go pee first?
Don't try your little tricks on me.
Not fair, why do I have to die?
(CRYING)
Okay, how do you want to die?
I-- I gotta choose?
(GASPS)
Old age!
Huh. Not an option.
(GASPS)
Aw, come on, please have mercy on me!
Think of my family, my parents, and my-- and my...
Uh, keep going.
And I haven't even found a wife yet!
(CRYING)
(GIGGLES)
Well, since you put it that way,
I'm not gonna kill you.
Really? You're not gonna kill me?
Nope, not today.
Your kung fu is really cool. Can you teach me?
Master Shi Fu, please accept my bow.
(SCOFFS)
Not happening.
(GRUNTS)
Did someone go in just now?
No. Who is that?
Guards! Stop the chatter!
Yes, sir!
MULAN: Keep your eye on the prince.
Wait! Mr. Assassin!
-Don't go! -Assassin? Catch him!
Assassin! Catch him!
(NEIGHS)
Hiya!
Oh, oh! Hey!
SOLDIER 1: That way!
Brother!
Are you hurt?
Get him! This way!
Please don't hurt him!
STABLE BOY: Protect my brother!
SOLDIER 2: Stop him!

Hold him down.

Now you're asking for it.
-(HITS) -Ow!
(GRUNTS)
So you were saying?
No, n-- nothing! It's okay!
That's what I thought.
Then prepare to die!
W-- w-- wait!
I know how to get us out of here.
(BIRDS CAWING)
You?
A mere stable boy.
Stable boy? Huh.
Uh, yeah.
Uh, I lost a horse here once.
Took me three days to find the way out.
There's only one way out of this canyon.
Don't lie to me.
Uh, uh, my life's in your hands.
(WHIMPERS)
Hm. Hm.
(SNAPS FINGERS) Lead the way.

(GRUNTING)
Uh.

(MAN GRUNTS)
MULAN: I don't know whether to call you fearless
or stupid.
I was just returning the favor.
I would never risk my life for you.
(PANTING)
Hand.
What?
Your hand.
Oh, it's nothing.
I'm good. It's nothing.
You're right, it's probably fine.
Although, one sting from those scorpions
can kill you in an hour.
No, wait.
MULAN: This is going to hurt a little, okay.
Alright.
Hm.
(SCREAMS)
You call this a little?
You know,
you might wanna look away for this.
Uh-huh.
(SPITS)
You've got skills.
You seem surprised.
Doesn't everyone?
Huh.
Huh, huh.
Amazing.
You're not only a kung fu master,
but also a great healer.
Now, if only you weren't such a hot head,
you'd be perfect.
(GROANS)
Ow!
Hey, wait! That's it?
You're sure I'm not hurt anywhere else?
MULAN: Relax, you won't die.
Pretty brave move you made breaking into our camp
to assassinate the Prince.
Just for the record, you invaded us.
We invaded, because you poisoned our water supply.
That's not a brave move.
MULAN: That's a lie!
Only a coward would do something like that.
Huh.
Uh, can I ask you a question?
MULAN: No problem, I'm just on a 100-foot ledge.
Uh, why didn't you kill the Prince?
MULAN: Not worth it.
If the Prince was my age, would it be worth it then?
Absolutely.
(GRUNTS)
What's wrong now?
Oh, I think I twisted my neck.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
Hmm.
Only one way up.
Follow me, scaredy cat.
STABLE BOY: Man, that's high.
Even for a cat.
SOLDIERS: My prince!
Your highness! Your majesty!
Your highness!
Where are you? Where are you?
Can you hear us?
Prince!
SOLDIERS: Your highness! Come back!
(GROANS)
(♪♪♪)
(PANTING)
Do you see the way out?
Not from here.
(PANTS)
I need some water.
-Hey, coocoo girl. -Huh?
Look! Stable boy found food!
(BIRD CAWING)
Huh?
(GRUNTING)
Run!
(GRUNTS)
(CAWING)
Are you crazy?
Yeah, follow me!
Grab on! Get us out of here.
MULAN: You really are crazy.
(SCREAMING)

Hold on!
I can't.

Hm.
You know, you saved my life today.
(MAN CHUCKLES)
Um, but I still don't know your name.
You first.
Me?
Arlash Kengram.
What? I'll never remember that.
I'll just call you, "stable boy".
Here, take him.
(CHUCKLES)
So uh, what's your name?
Did I say I was going to tell you?
Hey, you tricked me!
Anyway, thanks to your crazy idea,
we got out of that canyon.
Uh. No biggie.
(CHUCKLE)
Now I get it. This is what freedom looks like.
You know? I've decided, life's short.
When I get back, I'm gonna achieve my dreams.
(SCOFFS)
You have dreams?
Of course! Ever since I was a kid.
Like traveling the world. And eating the best foods.
(LICKS)
STABLE BOY: Not you.
Ew. That's a creepy dream.
So, coocoo girl, what about you?
I--
How could I have any dreams?
I'm serving in the army on my father's behalf.
You're doing this for your father?
(CHUCKLES)
Guess what? Me too!
You?
Of course.
But uh, he chased me with a horse whip.
Huh, nice dad.

How did you guys get here?
(NEIGHING)
Hmm.
Don't worry. She's not a bad guy.
How about we try this a different way?
I know she tried to steal you, but you threw her off.
So, let's just call it even.
I have to say, you're horses are so smart.
Just so you know, I trained them myself.
(MULAN CHUCKLES)
Come, let's go.
Hiya!
(♪♪♪)
MULAN: Hiya!

Whoa!
Uh!
Look! There's your dream come true.
Wow.
Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!
Ha!
Hiya!
Waiter, over here!
Aye, coming.
Bring us your best dishes, all of them.
Right away.
Hm.
Do dreams always come true this fast?
Come on, dig in.
Stable boy, I got a bad feeling
about this place.
Oh? Really?
BOSS: Pay up, right now.
A handful of silver for a bowl of rice?
That's highway robbery.
-(SLAMS) -Yeah, what of it?
You're all a bunch of thieves!
You dare call me a thief?
(CHOKES)
Help me!
(KNOCKING)
Hey, put him down now.
(WHIMPERS, SCREAMS)
Oh, looks like someone's here to wreck our party,
(SCOFFS)
Yeah, I'm gonna wreck your party, alright.
(SLAMS)
Why don't you take five? I'll do the wrecking.
You got this.
(SLAM SHUT)
You've got some guts, boy! Who are you?
Name starts with Da, ends with D.
-Uh. -Dad?
That's right.
Daddy's gonna teach you some manners today.
-(GRUNTS) -Oh, that's good one.
Get him!
Let's get him!

Wait, I haven't finished yet.

I'm just getting warmed up.

Then you better catch it.

Are you done now, dad?

Let's go.
Okey dokey.

(LAUGHTER)
MULAN: Hiya!
Woohoo! That was a blast!
Did you see the looks on their faces?
What goes around, comes around.
When we travel the country, I'll have your back.
We?
You beat up two guys and now you're a hotshot?
Maybe if you practiced for 20 years.
20 years?
But by then, we'll be too old to travel.
(HORSES NEIGH)
Woah.
(♪♪♪)
Stable boy, it's time to say goodbye.
Goodbye?
(HORSE NEIGHS)
But where are you going?
Army, remember?
Oh, yeah.
Wait, there's something I need to tell you.
Go ahead.
There's something you don't know.
Uh, I'm actually a stable boy.
Uh, duh.
But you're pretty smart.
And I think you're going to do just fine.
(GALLOPS)
Wait.
What's wrong with me?
Ah.
Why can't I just tell her the truth?
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Uh, she's coming back, here's my chance.
(GALLOPS)
I forgot to tell you.
My name. Hua Mulan.
Hiya!
Hua Mulan.
That's a beautiful name.
(♪♪♪)
Chief.
Ah, Mulan, you finally made it back.
How did it go?
I failed the mission.
Uh. That's alright.
It wasn't an easy assignment.
I'm glad you made it back safely.
Sir, please give me another mission.
I can do it.
Don't worry, there will be another chance.
SOLDIER 9: Commander approaching!
Hm.
(FOOTSTEPS)
(ARMOR CLANKING)
What took you so long?
Did you kill him?
No.
No?
Isn't your father supposed to be a capable man?
How did he ever have a useless son like you?
Commander, I accept the punishment.
Huh!
I guess your father isn't much of a man after all.
Cowering at home away from the battlefield.
Is that why he sent you instead?
You can insult me, but not my father.
Are you talking back to me?
My father has nothing to do with this!
Insolent!
Commander, please. He may lack manners.
Chief.
But he's still our most talented warrior.
I don't care! Just get him out of my sight!
Bring me your father. I don't care how old he is.
(GRUNTS)
I won't do that.
Do what I say or suffer the consequences!
No!
Commander, let me handle this.
Again?
Why are you always protecting him?
The war is starting soon. Let me lock him up for now.
Then he should fight to repent for his misbehavior.
I'll allow you this last favor.
But for disrespecting superiors starting from this moment,
strip Mulan of his rank now!
He accepts your orders.
(SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING, HORSES NEIGHING)
LITTLE PRINCE: You have to go and find my brother.
Hurry, go! Hurry up and find him.
We've searched everywhere, but couldn't find him.
I don't believe you.
Go out and keep looking! Go!
(SIGHS)
I'm afraid Prince Arke is dead.
(GASPS)
Liar!
(GRUNTS)
You're lying.
ARKE: Who says I'm dead?
(GASPS)
Brother!
(LAUGHING)
I knew you weren't dead.
I'm your big bro. I'm not gonna die that easily.
Your highness is truly blessed and fortunate.
Of course.
Brother!
How come you didn't bring back my master?
Master? Who's your master?
Oh, that assassin.
Huh?
I've already asked him to teach me kung fu.
Uh-huh. Come here.
(GASPS)
ARKE: Psst.
Hey.
Uh-huh.
Tell you a secret, the assassin is a woman.
Oh, then why didn't you bring her back?
Well...
I know why! You didn't catch her.
Of course, I did. But it's a long story.
We fell off this cliff and into a canyon
full of scorpions.
Huh.
Those things were as big as this tent.
Fought them off like crazy.
And had to grab hold of a giant eagle.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
Did Arke knock his brain loose while he was out there?
Could be.
And then we beat them up
and uh...
...drew my sword and saved the day.
Get behind me.
Prince Arke, we must get revenge.
Revenge? For what?
We must force the Central Plains to turn the assassin over to us
and have him suffer.
Eh, I don't think that's necessary.
Huh?
(SIGHS)
Hey, let me ask you something.
Uh.
Do you know any good tailors?
Uh-huh.
Does he know how to make dresses?
Yes.
Excellent.
Alright. But wait, I'm confused.
What does this have to do with the war?
(CHUCKLES)
It's not about the war, it's about this.
(SLAMS FIST)
MULAN'S FATHER: Mulan, this was my weapon.
Now, it belongs to you.
MULAN: Father, I promise.
I will bring honor and glory to our family name
with this weapon.
Such a failure.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
(SIGHS)
Snowball! What are you doing here?
Did stable boy send you?
(HORSE NEIGHS)
I know you want to get me out of here.
But I can't.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
You should go now.
Just go.
If you don't, I'm going to ignore you.
(LOUD THUD)
Huh?
What are you doing?
(HORSE KICKING)
Stop kicking!
Stop it right now!
(LOUD NEIGH)
You're gonna get me into huge trouble.
(NEIGHS)
Fine, we'll do it your way.
All they can do is lock me back up.
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Where are we going?
What? Not gonna tell me?
Oh, well, anywhere's better than a prison cell.
(♪♪♪)
Stable boy!
(KICKS)
(GRUNTS)
Why'd you sneak up on me?
You deserved it, hotshot.
I was trying to surprise you, but--
Here, have a look.
Uh.
Uh, for me?
You don't like it?
How can I possibly wear this?
Try it on first.
If you don't like it, just give it away.
(SIGHS)
So bossy.
(SIGHS)
(LEAVES RUSTLING)
You done changing?
(MULAN GRUNTING)
MULAN: No peeking.
Uh.
MULAN: No talking.
-(CHUCKLES) -MULAN: No laughing.
I guess I'd better go then.
MULAN: Wait!
Not so fast.
ARKE: Huh.
MULAN: I feel weird.
It's beautiful.
MULAN: Be honest.
Come here.
(MULAN GRUNTS)
Take a look.
(♪♪♪)
(CLEARS THROAT)
What do you think?
I feel like I'm looking at someone else.
Would this someone else accept the gift?
Hm. Okay, I guess.
(♪♪♪)
You know, when I was a kid,
I practiced kung fu with the boys.
And I was better than all of 'em.
Why does that not surprise me?
I know.
(CHUCKLES)
They didn't stand a chance.
So, why did you love kung fu?
My dad didn't have any sons.
I wanted to show them that a daughter
is as good as a son.
So, that's why you joined the army.
The only goal I have in the army,
is to serve with humility and to bring great honor
to my family, that no one will dare
to laugh at them again.
With your kung fu skills, that shouldn't be too hard.
(SIGHS)
Forget it. It's just not meant to be.
Well, what would you do if you became
a high-ranking official?
If I can do that for my family, then I can change my whole life.
(♪♪♪)
You know, I've always had a dream
to be a noble warrior.
Me. A horse.
And a sword.
Traveling the world to fight for justice
and punish evil.
You see, it's not a bad dream, right?
Oh, yeah. We hero types all think alike.
I also want to travel the world.
Right, you just want to eat all the food.
(GRUNTS)
Big difference.
We should partner up. Hit the road together.
You?
I don't want to lug a dead weight around.
But I do need a stable boy for my horse.
(GRUNTS)
Then you've found the right man for the job.
I'm amazing with horses.
But you can't be lazy.
Of course not!
My lady, where should we start our journey?
Hm.
South is fine, it's really beautiful there.
Oh, I heard the salted duck down there is delicious.
And then, we can go to Bashu.
See the gorgeous rocks and mountains.
They're stunning.
ARKE: Yeah, I'd like to try the red-roasted carp there, too.
I heard there are even more delicious foods in Lingnan.
(GRUNTS)
Chief.
So this is the one you've been protecting?
You said you were gonna lock him up.
So where's the lock? Huh?
Uh.
The guards told me he took off on horseback and left.
The actions of a traitor.
Well, that's impossible. I trust Mulan.
(GRUNTS)
You're so sure?
If he's really responsible for this,
I will take the punishment.
(GRUNTS)
Commander, the most important thing
right now is defeating our enemy.
We should strike them fast before they can react.
I want this fight even more than you do,
but the emperor's order are clear.
No attack, just defense.
But we can't miss this opportunity.
Save it. This discussion is over.
Hmm.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SIGHS)
Can you believe it? We've been talking so long.
I didn't realize you were so smart.
I think you can do more than just groom horses.
(LAUGHS)
You said it yourself that I'd be just fine one day.
Of course, I'm never wrong about people.
Uh, actually, I'm serious about what I said.
Which part?
The part...
(CHUCKLES)
Where...
...we partner up and travel the world together.
Huh?
(♪♪♪)
Can we?
We're at war. We're still enemies.
Does it matter?
If we were together, I'd be a traitor to my country.
We'll never see each other again.
What if one day the war stopped
and we weren't enemies, would you say yes then?
A stable boy and a soldier.
Well, okay.
If we survive till the end, I'll think about it.
(WHIPS) Hiya!
(CANTERING)
Stable boy, take care of yourself!
Coocoo girl, I will!
You take care, too!
I'll come back for you!
Hiya!

ARKE'S FATHER: No more discussion, we must go to war.
ARKE: I promise this alliance will work.
We don't have to fight! Father!
ARKE'S FATHER: Enough!
ARKE: I will marry Mulan.
Father, I will.

ARKE'S FATHER: Alright, you have my blessing.
Thank you, father.

Ah, so you're Lone Wolf?
Rumor has it, Lone Wolf is a man with a beard.
Not a man, no beard, and they're all dead.

That's none of your business.
But my sword soon shall be.

It's a pity you've taken the wrong path.

Goes both ways.

Hm.
Just give up.
You think you're doing this for justice?
You don't even know who that was.
He looks innocent to me.
What would you do if you learned
that you just released an evil man?
Then would you still condemn me?
I've heard enough.
(GRUNTING)
Your turn to surrender.
Never!
(HITS AND BLOWS)
(GRUNTING)
Why would you risk your life for a man you don't even know?
You need to trust me, he's an evil man.
Trust you? A wolf in sheep's clothing?
So good or evil depends on how things appear?
You are so naïve.
I know what I know. And I know you're the evil one.
You dare to toy with me!
Woah!

Maybe I should call you Chicken Wolf.

I'll never be like you. Not in a million years.
Face it. You'll never be as good as me.

Huh?

Looks like I lost. My life is yours.
You're brave.
You're right. You were like me 10 years ago.
I'm letting you go.
Everyone has two sides, so please join mine.
I think we could--
LONE WOLF: I have a piece of advice for you as well.
It's not about the right side, it's about the right cause.
(ARKE SIGHS)
Hey, coocoo, did my letter surprise you?
You little liar. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Well, you were there, and I was here.
Don't worry. All is good from now on.
Hmm. You better keep your promise.
Arke?
Uh, uh. What are--
(CLEARS THROAT)
What are you doing here, kiddo?
Is your brain still okay? I'm really worried.
I don't know what you're talking about.
(SCOFFS)
Have you finished packing yet?
I don't want to go home. I wanna fight!
Uh! Hiya!
Hey, there will be no more fighting,
little brother.
Just peace and marriage with the Central Plains.
What? Marriage?
I'm too young for that.
Uh, not you, silly.
This is for your big brother to handle.
Okay, it's a deal.
You can have this one, but next time it's my turn.
Hm.
Deal.
When you grow up,
I'll help you find the right one.
Then I guess I'll marry my master.
What? No way.
(GRUNTS)
You're a liar.
Okay.
How's this, after I marry your master,
I'll have her teach you kung fu every day?
How does that sound?
Hmm. That works.
(SIGHS)
GENERAL: Your highness.
So? Am I to be married?
They rejected the proposal.
Uh. No, that can't be.
It's the truth.
How could this happen?
There must be something wrong.
No, Mulan might be in danger. Here are my orders.
The entire army must march to the Great Wall.
GENERAL: Yes, sir!
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
PRINCE: Stop, wait!
Huh?
(HORSE NEIGHING)
COMMANDER: Halt!
Huh.
Thank you for saving his life.
Commander.
Huh. Hua Mulan? What are you doing here?
He's Mulan?
Who else could it be?
Hua Mulan. Are you really a man?
Of course, he is.
Why are you acting so strange today?
Tell the truth!
Didn't you say your father--
This has nothing to do with him.
Yes, I pretended to be a man and joined the army.
Huh! How dare you!
Disguising yourself as a man in my army.
You lied to me, you lied to the Emperor!
Guards! Take her!
SOLDIER 10: Yes, sir!
PRINCE: Hold it.
She should be rewarded for saving me.
Not punished.
Saving you?
Hua Mulan. Greet your highness.
Your Highness.
It's a relief to know you're a woman.
Not only are you not guilty, I should congratulate you.
Thank her?
The prince of Northern Grassland would like a truce
with the Central Plains, so that we can have peace
through marriage.
That's why I'm here.
What does this have to do with her?
The Grassland prince wants Hua Mulan to be his bride.
Your kung fu is really cool. Can you teach me?
Master Shi Fu, please accept my bow.
Unbelievable.
Is that little punk out of his mind?
What do you say?
Can you find someone else?
What? Hua Mulan!
You think this is a joke?
I'm not going!
If you refuse the order, you'll be sentenced to death.
Then so be it. I refuse to go.
I want to see how long you can stay this stubborn.
There must be another way.
SOLDIER 11: Commander.
The Grassland Army is approaching the Great Wall, sir.
But, but why?
Your highness, we have to return to the city immediately.
Yes, yes, let's go.
Guards. Tie her up and escort her back.
SOLDIERS: Yes, sir!
No need. I can walk on my own.
(♪♪♪)
(HORSES NEIGHING)
Chief, did we not agree to an alliance?
Knew it was a conspiracy.
What should we do?
Don't worry, your highness.
As long as I'm here, they can't win.
Chief.
Think of a way to defeat them now.
Don't worry.
I am just waiting to see how long it will take 'em
to die.
Fight!
Charge! Charge! Charge! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Your highness, all this happened
because of me.
Please, give me a chance to pay for my mistakes
and let me go to battle.
Mulan, you can't do this.
She's right.
She must take responsibility for her actions.
Please. I must do this.
Very well then. If this is the only way.
Yes, your highness.
Charge! Charge! Charge!
(♪♪♪)
(HORSE CANTERING)
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Everyone, listen to me! I, Hua Mulan is here!
Coocoo girl.
MULAN: Come and get me if you're not afraid to die.
Your highness! Careful.
Hiya!
(HORSE NEIGHING)
(SWORDS CLANG)
ARKE: Stop! Back away.
Your highness.
Stable boy?
I said, back off!
(GRUNTS)
(HORSE NEIGHS)
Mulan.
You? You are the Prince of the Grassland?
Uh. You didn't get my letter?
Letter? What letter?
I told you in the letter.
I was the prince you were sent to kill.
Why didn't you tell me? You lied to me.
Uh, I was afraid you were gonna kill me.
This is the opportunity to save Mulan.
Why are you still trying to save her?
My father promised to stop the war
if we get married.
That's your father's promise. Not mine!
Didn't you say that--
You came here with an army.
Beat me, then we can talk.
But how can I possibly beat you?
Take that!
(GRUNTING)
You serious?
(GRUNTING)
(CHUCKLES)
(GRUNTS)
(LAUGHS)
Liar!
I can't beat you on the ground.
But on a horse, it's a different story.
(GRUNTS)
Hands off!
(GRUNTS)
Is that the best you've got?
Enough!
(GRUNTS)
Let go!
Everyone on both sides, listen up!
From now on...
(GRUNTS)
Grassland and the Plains... (GRUNTS)
...will be at peace.
(CHEERING)
Peace forever!
Yeah, Mulan! Yeah! Yeah!
Let's us toast to both our countries
To peace.
(♪♪♪)
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
Prince Arke, you are indeed a wise and just man
with a very impressive demeanor.
I'm flattered, Prince.
This truce was well-deserved, and thus, I also would like
to toast to you and to all your people.
To us.
Chief.
Mulan.
You've taken care of me for years
and I won't forget your kindness.
I drink to you.
Don't mention it.
The battles are over.
I am going to recuperate at the Forest of Towers.
But--
Remember, no matter what happens you can find me there.
(GULPS)
(CUP THUMPS ON TABLE)
(POURING DRINK)
Commander. Have a drink.
(SCOFFS)
Save it.
Huh.
If the emperor didn't give orders to hold back,
you would've been defeated by now.
(SLAMS CUP)
Bragging, commander.
(SLAMS JUG)
This place, I could tear it down in a day.
Are you serious?
If this is up to me, you would never
get through these gates in a hundred years.
Hm.
Come!
Let's go outside and settle this.
(GRUNTS)
You don't have the guts.
I'm not afraid of you, come on.
Come on, let's go.
PRINCE: That's enough.
You are disrespecting our guests.
Huh? Guests? Ha.
They'll be our enemies sooner or later.
You're drunk.
No, I'm not.
Get out of my sight.
Huh? But--
Get out?
You will regret this!
(GRUNTS)
(FOOTSTEPS)
Come, let's have another toast.
ARKE: I never thought I'd be standing here
on the Great Wall overlooking the Northern Grassland.
(CHUCKLES)
It looks totally different from here.
Hm.
Still thinking about that fake letter?
Mm-hmm.
That letter. Something's not right.
It seems like there is someone behind all this.
Yeah, it does feel a little strange.
I want to investigate it.
Whoever did this has to be pretty high up.
(SIGHS)
But now, now that the war is over,
they can't play their tricks any more.
Yeah, you're right.
I hope this peace will last.
SOLDIERS: Seal the gates!
Curfew in effect!
Come on!
The Grassland Prince has colluded with Hua Mulan,
and they have kidnapped our prince.
They will die for this!
SOLDIER 12: Come on!
Look, up there!
(GRUNTS)
Reward if you catch 'em alive.
(SHOUTING)
What's going on?
I have to find out.
There they are!
This is not looking good. We need to get out of here.
(GRUNTS)
Quick, hold me!
Hold you? Hold where?
My waist, silly.
(GRUNTS)
They're going over the wall!
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
Move! Move! You need to chase them!
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
This way! This way!
Commander.
We searched everywhere but found nothing.
(GRUNTS)
Brace yourselves.
We will fight the Grassland to their death!
SOLDIERS: Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge!
(GRUNTS)
Move!
(♪♪♪)
This was exactly what I was talking about.
You think the Commander kidnapped the Prince
to frame us?
He really is evil.
I've worked so hard and now I am a traitor!
We gotta leave now.
If my army retreats to the Grassland,
the Commander won't be able to find us.
If I go with you, then I will be a traitor.
You can't worry about that right now.
Stop. Not until I clear my name.
We have no time.
I have an idea.
The Chief will help us expose the Commander's conspiracy.
Come with me!
Let go!
Can't you just listen to me for once?
Why should I?
Just do what you have to do.
You don't need to take care of me.
Please, it's too dangerous. I won't be able to protect you!
(GASPS)
No, your highness.
You're the one who needs my protection now.
Fine. I won't hold you back then.
Wa--
(SIGHS)
(♪♪♪)
(DRAWS SWORD)
Who's there?
(SCOFFS)
Why are you here?
(SCOFFS)
I was about to ask you the same thing.
(GASPS)
Did you kidnap the prince?
Yep, you got that right.
I was wrong about you.
You know how much trouble you've caused?
Let go of me.
This time I'm not letting go. Where's the prince?
I just do the job and take the money.
(GRUNTS)
Who paid you then?
(SCOFFS)
(GRUNTS)
I knew it, it was the Commander.
Huh, the Commander?
If not him, then who?
Stay out of it.
Tell me! Tell me who it is!
CHIEF: It's me.
Mulan.
(GASPS)
Chief?
You're the one I've been waiting for.
You've got the prince. Time to pay up.
Lone Wolf, you've lived up to your name.
Piece of cake.
What's going on?
Mulan. I've always believed in you.
Why don't you come to work with me from now on?
Chief, if there's a problem, maybe I can help.
You know, the Commander will never give you
the honor you want.
You'll get the honor you need from me.
You want a rebellion?
(CHUCKLES)
Is that a problem?
They might let you live if you release the prince now.
There is no turning back now.
Fine, then I'll do it myself.
You're being foolish, Mulan.
Get out of my way.
(PUNCHES)
(GASPS)
(GRUNTING)
Those moves are not kung fu.
Someone who knows things.
Who exactly are you?
(LAUGHS)
We invaded because you poisoned our water supply,
that's not a brave move.
Your mission is to sneak into the enemy's camp
and kill the prince without failure.
Yes, sir.
You are the one that made the fake letter.
I see.
So that's your goal.
You want to start a war and then rule both sides.
There's an old saying that goes,
"Under one man the whole nation prospers."
And that man is me.
That's not what you said before.
You said you wanted to overthrow tyranny
and save all of our people!
There is no difference.
The Grassland and the Plains will belong to us soon.
By that time--
LONE WOLF: Shut up!
Here's your money. Give the prince back.
(SCOFFS)
I've never known you to go back on a deal.
Now I have.
There's always a first time for everything.
I help my own people and you're not one of them.
(LAUGHS)
I don't need to be.
Take a look.

You were using me all this time.
I was helping you to earn honor for your family.
Honor? More like disgrace.
You're just too arrogant to see what's possible.
No, you are.
I will fight you for the honor of my family name.
I don't think you're capable of that.
Both of you, come on.

(HORSE NEIGHS)
Your highness.
Who told you to attack?
Well, we thought you were caught by the enemy and...
Tell all the troops to retreat.
What?
I don't care if the enemy attacks us.
Don't fight back. That's my order.
Yes, your highness.

You have learned to be cunning.
I see you've improved greatly.
I have, so I can defeat you!

(GRUNTING)
No.
If you don't come with me, you'll be blamed for all this.
You'll be branded a traitor and dishonor your family.
You are right.
This will only dishonor my family.
Mulan.
But if I fight you to the death
even if I lose my life,
I would save the honor of my family.
Not afraid to die?
My country has thousands of courageous soldiers.
I'm not afraid.
And me as well.
I will give you one last chance.
No, I'm giving you one last chance.
Girls, oh, they'll never learn.

LONE WOLF: Back to business.
Why didn't you take the position the prince offered?
Wouldn't be as happy.
But you didn't take it either. I wonder why.
Funny, that's what I would have wanted before.
What about now?
Now?
Just to be free.

You're not that silly girl you used to be.
I'm sure you were a silly girl once, too.
Good point.
I'll see you around, both of you.
Take care.
