INT.  YUAN COMPOUND - DAY

    Aunt Wu finishes bandaging Yu.

    AUNT WU

    She's crazy. You should have killed her.

    YU

    I didn't have the heart.

    AUNT WU

    Well， Li Mu Bai can do it.

    Yu senses movement at the window. Looking out， she sees Jade Fox in the distance.

    INT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - DAY

    Jen wakes up， flushed from fever. She takes a sip from a cup of water- it's empty. She tosses the cup， gets up， and walks into the rain.

    EXT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - DAY

    Jen walks out， raises her face into the rain， and drinks the raindrops. Thirst quenched， she turns around and finds Li standing there. Jen limps toward him while mumbling.

    JEN

    Is it me or the sword you want？

    Jen falls into Li， who checks her pulse and looks at her eyes.

    LI

    You've been drugged！

    Li carries her inside， kicking away the incense burner.

    INT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - DAY

    Li lays his hands on Jen's back； she slowly comes to.

    LI

    Where is Jade Fox？

    Jen gestures that she doesn't know. Yu and Bo enter. Yu looks at Jen.

    YU

    What happened？

    LI

    Jade Fox drugged her. How did you

    get here？

    YU

    We followed Jade Fox.

    Instantaneously， a flurry of darts flies directly in Jen's direction. Li and Yu swipe miraculously at them all， sending them flinging hither and thither.

    Fox shows herself. Li attacks her. She falls back， bleeding to death.

    LI

    And so you die.

    Li touches his neck.

    FOX

    And so shall you！

    Li pulls a single needle from his neck.

    YU

    A poisoned needle！

    FOX

    You deserve to die， but the life I

    was hoping to take…… was Jen's. Ten

    years I devoted to you. But you

    deceived me！ You hid the manual's true

    meaning. I never improved…… but your

    progress was limitless！ You know what

    poison is？ An eight-year-old girl， full

    of deceit. That's poison！ Jen！ My only

    family…… my only enemy……

    Jade Fox dies.

    YU

    You can't die！ Tell us what poison

    you used！ You can't die！ Tell us the

    antidote！ You can't let Li Mu Bai die！

    JEN

    She used Purple Yin…… Purple Yin

    poison. It goes straight to the heart.

    LI

    My blood will soon reverse its flow.

    It's the same poison she used to kill

    my master. There is no antidote.

    YU

    That can't be！ Everything has an

    antethesis！ Why not this？

    JEN

    The antidote exists. She taught it to

    me. The formula is simple， but it takes

    time to prepare. Trust me. As you have

    helped me， let me help him.

    LI

    All right. Hurry. I will hold on as

    long as I can.

    YU

    （takes the comb from her hair）

    Take my horse and go to the compound.

    Give this to Mrs. Wu. She'll help you.

    Hurry！

    JEN

    Spare your energy. I'll be back！

    EXT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - NIGHT

    Bo is burying Fox in the rain.

    EXT.  YUAN COMPOUND - NIGHT

    The guards surround Jen. She pushes past them.

    JEN

    Where is Mrs. Wu？

    Aunt Wu comes running out.

    AUNT WU

    Stop it！

    Jen pulls out Yu's comb.

    JEN

    Shu Lien told me to show you this.

    AUNT WU

    Let her in.

    INT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - NIGHT

    Yu sits across from Li， whose pose is almost meditational， eerily calm.

    YU

    Mu Bai， hold on. Give me some hope……

    LI

    Shu Lien……

    YU

    Save your strength.

    LI

    My life is departing. I've only one

    breath left.

    YU

    Use it to meditate. Free yourself from

    this world as you have been taught. Let

    your soul rise to eternity with your

    last breath. Do not waste it…… for me.

    LI

    I've already wasted my whole life. I

    want to tell you with my last breath……

    I have always loved you. I would rather

    be a ghost， drifting by your side…… as

    a condemned soul…… than enter Heaven

    without you. Because of your love…… I

    will never be a lonely spirit.

    Yu cries.

    She kisses him lightly. He closes his eyes.

    EXT.  PATH - DAY

    As the sun rises， Jen rides speedily， clutching the medicine in her hands.

    INT.  ABANDONED FACTORY - DAY

    Li is in Yu's arms. They're holding hands. The sun shines in. Yu slowly releases Li's stiff fingers- he is dead.

    Jen is at the door.

    JEN

    He's gone？

    Bo peeks over Jen's shoulder.

    Yu rises and picks up Green Destiny. Jen kneels. Yu raises the sword， but doesn't kill her.

    YU

    Bo…… please take this sword back to

    Sir Te.

    He takes the sword from her.

    YU

    （to Jen）

    Now you must go to Wudan Mountain. Lo

    awaits you there. Promise me one thing，

    whatever path you take in this life……

    be true to yourself.

    EXT.  WUDAN TEMPLE - DAY

    Jen climbs up toward the temple， finally reaching the temple gate， and sees Lo standing there.

    He runs to her. She greets him.

    INT.  WUDAN TEMPLE - MAGIC

    Jen and Lo make love.

    INT.  WUDAN TEMPLE - DAY

    Lo wakes up to find the jade comb on the pillow beside him， Jen gone.

    EXT.  WUDAN MOUNTAIN - DAY

    Lo catches up to Jen， who stands on a bridge. The gorges below are shrouded in clouds. She looks back at him.

    JEN

    Do you remember the legend of the

    young man？

    LO

    "A faithful heart makes wishes come

    true."

    JEN

    Make a wish， Lo.

    Lo pauses.

    LO

    （closing his eyes）

    To be back in the desert， together

    again.

    Jen smiles， turns， and leaps into the clouds. They seem to catch her gently before she disappears into them.

    Lo remains standing， a smile on his face， tears rolling down his cheeks.

    THE END
