"Shihuangdi...
:13:10
...the first emperor of China...
:13:12
...built a wall 3000 kilometers long...
:13:15
...to protect civilization
from the barbarians.

:13:17
The Great Wall of China.

:14:30
... I can see you, Dr. Harris.
:14:32
Your favorite emperor.
:14:35
What do you think of this
enigmatic man?

:14:40
Nothing.
:14:42
Nothing.
:14:44
- Have you no answer?
- Nothing...

:14:46
... is the answer.
:14:48
The emperor's business enterprises...
:14:51
... his wall building
and book burning...

:14:54
