Uncle Kau, please!
Please tell me what's happened?
Nothing happened! Go back to your work! Please don't ask!
Tell me please! Come on!
Alright, let me tell you the story
Governor Ma was killed last night
I was told that the murderer is a bitch named Lotus Wong
Now, go back to your work!
Uncle Kau, who is Lotus Wong?
You nosy kid! This is none of your business
Go back to your work!
Come on, tell me the whole story!
Tell me something more about her
then I'll go to work
It's a tragedy! Lotus Wong is Wong Chung's sister...
as well as Cheung Man-cheong's wife, those two rebels
You mean
the sworn brothers of Governor Ma?
Sir, please don't blame me! I didn't mean it
Please forgive me! I didn't mean to offend you
Sir, we will make the murderer pay for it
Please rest in peace
Kneel down!
According to the regulations of Ma's family
those who murdered members of Ma's family
will be tortured to death by "Ling-chi"
We have to cut
one thousand pieces of flesh off her
and cut her breasts off to nourish the victim's soul
Get ready for the execution!
Brother Wong
I haven't seen such nice horse for ages
Cheong, you'll take the horse and I'll take his luggage
Let's go
Watch out!
Let's escape
Excuse me,
would you please leave my stuff behind?
Brother Wong...
Master, please spare us and let us go!
Sir, it's too silly of us to steal from you!
Please forgive us
I am sorry
Wait! There's a catch
Where is Lotus?
So you are going to the capital to apply for a general
No wonder you are good at martial arts
Why do you rob?
If we had enough to eat
we wouldn't have become robbers
We are forced to rob!
Did you commit crime and become fugitives?
No, we used to be farmers and live in peace
it's the bloody government!
They increase tax almost monthly
we got no money
so they took our fields as tax payment
We didn't want to become theives!
The govemment should be blamed
We did have a good living in our village
but now, only women and old people left
Some were starve to death, some died of disease
All strong and capable men go to town to make a living
My sister and Man-cheong have engaged for three years
but now, they can't even get enough money to get married
Ma, what drives you to go to the capital...
to work for such corrupted govemment?
You will be working for the trash to torture the poor!
Brother, we have just met
better mind your tongue
Never mind! It's not easy to be honest in front of a new friend
Pals, I pity you so much
When I was small, I was a wanderer too
Just like you
But one thing is different, I met a taoist
He taught me Kung-fu for 20 years
My Master always teaches me that
it's a man's duty to protect his beloved country
I always remember this
and thus makes me go to the capital
I don't have choice
I see
Well... for what I have said
you must think that I am naive
But I think there must be nice guys in the court
There are many nice guys in this world too
I am sure you three are nice too
Trust me! This is a fair world
Nice guys will be rewarded
I hope you will turn over a new leaf
and, don't give up
Maybe, you will become well-off one day
Well-off? Maybe in our dreams!
What else can we do now?
You can do so many things!
The key is, you must have faith to go through the hard time
The fish is burnt
I have almost forgotten my fish
Ma, would you come to my house?
Although we can only treat you to plain rice and vegetable
we can drink and have a nice time
Good! We've got fish in the pond and wild boar in the forest
why not go hunting and fishing?
Sure!
Come on
I've got it!
Bravo! How did you make it?
Concentrate!
Focus and then stab it!
Like this? Let me try
There is a fish
It's gone!
I saw that fish first
You shouldn't have come to scare it away
You'd better go there! I'll go a different direction
Don't bother me!
I am sorry...
Slow down!
I've got it! Bravo!
Brother, you are great! Got it, right?
To hell with you!
Pal, this piece is most tasty
Thank you
You're welcome
Come on, take it
Man-cheong, this is the happiest day in my life
Do you know why?
Why?
Because, I think I have become young again!
Ma taught us fishing and hunting
when I saw the wild boar before
I aways worried that it'd eat me
In fact, it only knows how to scare us
Yeah, Brother Ma, I was afraid of wild boar since I was a kid
I dared to eat it since three years ago
Brother Ma, have my toast, all the best to you
All the best
Sis, why do you keep your mouth shut?
Toast to Ma, come on
Mr. Ma, wish you ever success
Thank you
Pal, if you don't mind
why not sleep in my place for a night?
Let's have a drink till dawn
Why not? If only you don't think this is a nuisance
You're welcome
You are giving me face to stay, aren't you?
I am so happy!
Honey, is the fish ready?
It's already fixed! I'll send it out right away
Come and drink with Ma
Sure I will
Brother Ma, this is my toast
Buddy, people said, better marry a capable woman
About my wife, she is really really capable...
You know what?
Well, you have married a capable wife
this must be your luck
Don't envy me
you know what she is capable of?
I don't know
She is capable of making love
In bed, she is wild
she is great!
Damn it! Shame on you!
Cut the crap please, would you?
Brother Ma, this is the fish you caught, you eat first
Come on, let's eat
You mean it again?
Ma, enjoy your food please
Just make yourself at home! OK?
Excuse me! I'll be back soon
Lotus, I am sorry!
I am useless to make you suffer so much!
Brother Cheong, don't say this, come on!
You are drunk!
Yeah, I am drunk!
Brother Ma, thank you for giving us face to stay, I am so happy!
I haven't seen Wong to be so happy for ages!
Thank you! Cheers!
Alright, let's drink!
Yeah, my brother hasn't been so happy for ages
He always pulls a long face
His happy face is hard to be seen
Brother Ma, I believe that it's God's will to let us make friends
Come on!
There is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not
I think you can become the general
If you make it, please don't forget us
Hurry up...
Man-cheong, don't be silly!
I won't forget you!
I've spent a great time with you guys!
It'fate
otherwise, we wouldn't have sat here
Fate! It's God who makes us acquaint!
Brother Ma, cheers!
Stop it! Brother Cheong
You've had enough!
Brother Ma, excuse me
I want to drink...
I wanna bite you to death!
Why not bite this?
Brother Ma
please don't mind sleeping here
Of course not
Let me fix your bed sheet first
Thank you
Why not let me do it myself? You'd better go to rest
Not now, I have to wash the dishes first
Alright
You are good at fighting
You are flattering me!
I am not!
You are really great!
Have you practised Kung-fu?
We are farmers
it's not necessary to read
but we'd know a little bit fighting skills
So, we are able to work faster
That's right
Brother Ma
What's the matter?
I have something to ask for your help
What is it?
You know, we are not used to rob
but we don't know
how to make a living
I understand your problem
If I, Ma Sun-yee, become a general one day
Brother Wong and Man-cheong will be my assistants
I promise
You really mean it?
Thank you so much!
Come on! They have to contribute too
It's a dangerous job to beat crimes
You think they have guts to do so?
Yes, but...
But what?
But they are not well educated
I think you have to waste much time to teach them
You are flattering me! In fact
I am not well educated either
You are so humble
Watch it!
Honey!
Honey, if you leave me, I don't know how life will go on
Lotus!
See what Ma has caught!
Where did you get it?
At the place they usually show up
Where?
The forests around your house
Not only these
there are
many other animals
We are useless!
Brother Ma, I admire you so much!
You are good at fighting, righteous as well as intelligent
I haven't seen such a wonderful man in my life
You are flattering me!
I was lucky to meet my master
who taught me all these skills
But you haven't met any teacher instead
Brother Ma
Forgive my rudeness
I want to learn Kung-fu from you!
Kneel down! You...
We are always frank and
straight forward
If you take us as students
when you are hungry, we'll cook for you
If you are hot, we will cool you with fans
You have two men and
two women to serve you
Brother Ma, my brother and Man-cheong are sincere
please say yes
Lotus, come here
why do you stay there?
Come and join us
Brother Ma, please!
Don't do this! Get up! Get up...
Get up first
You don't even let me have chance to speak
Let me say something, OK?
I've told you, I will go to the capital for an interview tomorrow
If I stay, I will not be able to catch the interview on time
What? You have to leave?
Why not stay two more days?
Please teach us Kung-fu
Be frank, I am not qualified to be your master
But, don't worry
I promise, I will come back one day
So we will go fishing, practise Kung-fu and drink
OK?
Great! Brother Ma, you'd come back
Deal
Come back as early as you can!
But I want you to promise me one thing
Sure!
We'll promise anything you ask
Ma, no matter what
we will promise anything you ask
From today onwards
you should behave yourself
go straight and be a decent man
you are able to be a hunter or a farmer
Don't rob again
You are a real man!
You will achieve one day!
Is that right?
Yes, Brother Ma, we promise
don't worry, we won't let you down
Swear!
Alright
I, Wong Chung
I, Cheung Man-cheong
We swear to God
From now on, we will go straight
to be a real man
We will never rob again
if we break our oath, we'll be killed terribly!
God, I am so lucky to meet
Wong Chung and Cheung Man-cheong
Now, we will become sworn brothers
From now on, we'll share happiness and troubles, with no regrets
Anything else?
Nothing
Swear again!
Alright
I, Wong Chung
I, Cheung Ma-cheong
I, Ma Sun-yee
now become sworn brothers, we'll share happinese and troubles
We are brothers now
That horse isn't a gift
I'll let you raise it, so don't be embarrassed
But, this horse
is your favorite
it should go with you
But you taught me how to reach the capital by sea
It saves half of my travelling time
So, we don't owe each other
Brother Ma, thank you
We are brothers, don't mention it
Go home! You'd better go back now
I hope I would bring you good news soon
Brother Ma, send us good news as soon as possible
So, we can write to you
Listen
from now on, you two should eat vegetable and pray for Ma
to wish him good luck so as to win the seat
Sure I will
Remember, you must behave and go straight
Take care
Man-cheong
let's go hunting and
practise the skills which Ma taught us
Alright
But remember
be patient
while you hunt
I know, I worry only about you
Actually I want you to remind me that
Brother Wong, you are smart
Honey, I'm leaving
we are going to hunt a wild boar for you
You said you want me to eat vegetable
But you wasted too much energy in bed, you know?
You're so bad! Start eating vegetable tomorrow, OK?
I want to drink... with Brother Ma!
I've asked you not to drink that much!
I want to drink more...
Brother Cheong, stop drinking please
Lotus...
We haven't married yet
I'm sorry
these three years have been a waste
Worse still, we've become bandits!
Why have God been so mean to me?
Why? Why?
Brother Cheong, stop blaming on God
From now on
you only have to stop robbing and turn straight
I will be contented even though I have to suffer life with you!
Self pity is your problem
It hurts me as much as it hurts you
I am sorry
I don't want to hear those words
Brother Cheong, let me ask you one thing
How do you see Brother Ma?
He is a nice guy
Lotus, why do you ask?
Nothing! Since his appearance, it seems that...
many things have changed
Of course, he is bringing us luck!
We always wish God would give us luck He's God given
I hope Ma would become a general one day
We don't have to suffer
Why not stand on your own feet?
Why is Ma a nice guy?
Do you need to ask?
God gives us luck to meet him! He is our benefactor
you must think that I am naive
But I think there must be nice guys in the court
There are many nice guys in this world too
I am sure you
you three are nice too
Trust me! This is a fair world
Nice guys will be rewarded
I hope you will turn over a new leaf
and, don't give up
Maybe, you will become well-off one day
Why are you here?
I come back for you
Why?
Life is un-predictable
What is impossible to happen
will happen
No...
Why?
Because I am Man-cheong's fiancee
But I know you don't love him
I don't think you would fall for me
I can't explain the feeling of love
But I know whether it's true or not
When it comes, I won't give it up easily
I hope you would think the same thing as I do
No, I don't know how to face it
You need not be responsible for anyone
Except for yourself
I swore that I would devote my virginity...
to the one I love on our wedding day
Lotus
I am your perfect match
I will come back
wait for me
You notorious and cold-blooded slut, listen!
You have to pay for the life you've taken
Your heartless deed arouse the anger of all people
We can't settle people's anger if you're not killed by this punishment
It's time for the execution
What request do you have? Voice out now
Execution!
Wind up!
Our Budda in heaven
holy is your name...
Our Budda in heaven
holy is your name...
Brother Ma! My buddy!
Brother Wong Man-cheong
Buddy, I'm worried sick of you
The officer said you did a good job to uproot the bandits
And you're promoted to be the governor You're hot shot now
Is that right?
Thanks for the luck you've brought me
We haven't met for half year, how are you doing?
We are fine!
My dear sister-in-laws, how are you?
We are fine, thanks
Man-cheong and I haven't married yet
Man-cheong
You haven't married her yet?
This is not fair
You've promised
I will try my best
Sure you have to
Well
I think you must be tired
Please take a bath first, then come back here for the celebration
Let's celebrate the reunion!
Sure!
Let's get ourselves drunk for this joyful night
For our reunion!
Cheers...
Sis, what's wrong with you?
Drink with Ma, come on
Lotus, toast to Brother Ma, come on
Wait
I have something...
to talk to Man-cheong
Brother Ma, what's the matter?
Half a year ago, after our farewell, one thing happened
I returned tothe river side
At that moment, I remembered one thing
That is... I had a great dinner at your home
So I asked my chef to make the same dishes
and arranged them at the same positions just like that special night
Pal, you are an affectionate friend!
Thank you!
Buddies, don't forget about me! Cheers!
Sit down first, take it easy
You're not a good drinker
Eat something! So I won't send you home early
Come on!
Hubby, don't drink too much, mind your health
Who do you think you're talking to?
How can you compare Man-cheong with me?
I haven't sent you one single letter the past half a year
You must have worried so much about me
Please accept my apology
Here's a toast to you
Buddy, we know you are a busy man
We won't blame you
May I be frank
Now that we're here
can our future count on you?
I have already had some arrangement
May I tell you later?
Since we are going to enjoy this night, let's enjoy!
Come on! Cheers!
Buddies, I've arranged some rooms for you
You can stay as long as you like
Just take this as your home
Brother Ma, will it bring any inconvenience?
We are below the salt
and you're high above
will that cause any gossip?
Remember, this is the governor's house
I am in charge of this place
By the way, you'll work for the government soon
In and out of the governor's house is a must
Who dares to speak behind our back?
So, you mean hubby and Man-cheong will become officers soon?
That's right
It's great! I don't have to attend housework anymore
Madame, why do you stay up late? Have some tea?
Good night
Where have my brother and Man-cheong gone?
They are staying with the governor
they won't come back early
You'd better take a rest
What are they doing?
They are questioning some prisoners inside the detention cell
The man is called Sau-fu, the woman is named Diu-fung
They are bandits of the Black Wind Gang
When they were arrested
we found maps of several senior official's houses
I believe that they were sent as spies
They planned to kidnap some senior officials to blackmail the court
Sau-fu, are you ready to confess?
How many people in your gang?
Bastard!
Do you have fire-arms? Speak up
I don't know
Take the woman up, it's time for torture
Yes
No! Let her go!
You bastards! Let go of her!
No!
Let go of her! No!
Don't!
Rise her up
Put her down!
This is the end of a bandit's story
Sau-fu, listen carefully!
If you don't want your wife to suffer
better co-operate with me
Shut up! I'd rather die!
I will never betray our brothers
But you will die If we don't tell them
Even we confess, do you think they will let us go?
We will die no matter what!
No...
No!
Speak up, who are you going to kidnap?
Don't tell them! Don't!
No!
Honey!
Ma Sun-yee, you will pay for your evil deed!
I won't let you go! I wanna kill you!
I want your family to end with blood!
May God condamn you!
Shut up!
You want to be a hero? Not that easy!
Take the woman's body to feed the dogs
And for this guy, cut his tongue and serve him hot wax
Yes, sir
Do you think I am cruel?
Not exactly
In such rough time
I am sure you have your reason to step up measures
You are absolutely right
Thieves and soldiers are forever enemies
I am paid by the government
I should get rid of the bandits
Do you think I am right?
Yes, you are right...
From now on, we should be hand in hand
to gether our strength and proof that...
we work for the people and serve the govemment whole heartedly
Thank you, Ma
Thank you!
We won't let you down!
But, there is one more thing
What?
The bandits of the Black Wind Gang
are not well organized
I want you to head a troop of commandos...
for a sudden raid
This is a good chance for you two!
Yes, yes!
What do you think?
Good!
Hung Sum has a habit
He takes shower in the stream before dark everyday
I want you to take him alive
This is your mission, understand?
Man-cheong, listen
Take some soldiers to search around
I will stay here for an ambush
Once you see Hung Sum
give me a signal
Do you get me?
Go!
Follow me
What's the matter?
It's a signal for help
Follow me
Sir
Wong & Cheung are in trouble
should we send someone to help?
I'll make the decision, I don't need your advice
Get out
Yes
Brother Ma
It's late, why don't you sleep?
I would like to ask about
my brother and Man-cheong
Something critlcal has happened
New arrangement is necessary before action is taken
But don't worry, it would be alright
Brother Ma
May I ask you something?
Go ahead
I know what your question is
Half a year ago...
I was rude and impulsive at the riverside
I have regretted ever since
I'm ashamed of myself
I keep telling myself
that it's not a sin to love someone
The point is
they are my sworn brothers
How can I do such thing?
No matter what
they are my brothers and I'll treat you as my sister
Governor, here you are
Do you want to tickle me or hurt me?
Or, both?
Governor, why don't you say a word?
It hurts!
You bitch! You are slut!
I am your husband's sworn brother!
How dare you seduce me?
Yes, I am the most bitchy woman in the worid
So what?
Come on, scold me! Screw me!
I don't mind being punished
It's great!
Hit my back!
You have soft bones
Don't move, I want you not to move
No, I am tired
Don't move
What's wrong? Why can't I move
Save me!
Get in bed
Hurry up!
What's the matter? Not again!
Why do you cover me? What's that for?
Take it away
What's the matter?
No!
Hardert It's so nice, I love it
Don't stop! Go ahead
Bite...
Is your game started?
Come on! I want it
Are you teaching me how to write?
Wet it
I feel so comfortable!
It's itchy!
I want it! Hurry up!
Give it to me...
Lower...
Come on! I want it
What are you doing? You've got it wrong
No!
Mom!
No!
Dad!
Beat him...
Harder!
Stop!
Beat him!
Bastard!
I ask again
where is the arsenal?
I am Cheung Man-cheong, I am sent by the governor...
to arrest you, bastard
You are really tough!
I love tough guys
Come out! Serve him well
Yes
Listen
if you can't make him turn on
I will let my buddies rape you
Bastard!
You beast!
Take me some wine!
Put it down
Enough, get out
Are you telling or not?
I am Cheung Man-cheong
I am sent by the governor to arrest you!
Do you know what my favourite food is?
The heart of you soldiers
No...
Come on!
Take it here
No
Bring me some wine
Hurry up!
The soldier's heart is most nutritious
Don't kill me...
Bastard, I added ether into your wine
You are feeling dizzy now, aren't you?
Take him away! Yes
Man-cheong I said nothing
I am sorry, I came late
I am sorry
It hurts Hang on...
Hang on!
Make sure you keep her alive
If she dies before 1000 cuts
we will be punished
Don't worry, she can make it
Just don't cut too deep and aviod the blood vessels
She won't die
Man-cheong, how are you?
I am fine
I can make it
I can make it...
Man-cheong, don't scare me, what's wrong
Honey, it hurts, I don't want to live
What's happened? Tell me
Honey, you've bathed
Here I come!
It's always nice to make love after a bath
Don't touch me
Come on, we haven't made love for a long time
Stop it!
Undress now! Come on...
Stop bothering me! I am tired
What are you doing?
I am on the rag
On the rag?
Do you have any fever
any headache? Are you alright?
Just on the rag
so what?
This is not our first time to make love on your rag
Come on!
Leave me alone!
Honey, stop...
What's wrong with it? Tell me
From bumping...
Bumping?
You bitch!
What are you doing?
I'll show you!
You know how to get hurt from bumping now?
Tell me, who is the adulterer?
Speak up!
Beat me! Beat me to death, come on
Just beat me to death!
She knows only too well that I won't kill her
I had to know who the adulterer is
I beg your help
Calm down, don't lose your temper
I know who the adulterer is
Tell me, Tell me please
Who is he?
In this town
only those covered by the court have guts to mess around
And I know only one person who dares
Who is he? Tell me
He always flirts around with women at the temple
He is Chu, the thirteen son of Officer Chu
If you don't understand, come back to me
Thank you
It's my pleasure, you're welcome
You scum!
Why do you beat me?
Stop...
None of your business!
Go to hell
Help! Master Chu is being attacked
Help! Go and stop them!
How dare you seduce my sister-in-law?
Go to hell!
Stop!
Why do it?
Why? He knows only too well!
He seduced my wife
Master Chu, how are you?
He is a volunteer here, he helps the monks to translate sutra
and helps others to explain oracles, he seduced no one
He is a decent guy, a kind-hearted guy!
No way he'd do such a thing!
Shut up! Take them to the court now
Master Chu...
Oh no! He's dead
He's dead!
He was always weak, he had asthma
What!
No way!
Listen, take them to the court
It's ridiculous! He's faking!
Go
Brothers
It's my fault to have caused you on exile
Be frank to us, did we kill an innocent guy?
No, he just pretended
to be a gentleman
He was covered by his father
He's the adulterer, it's a fact
Why don' you believe me?
If I knew he had asthma
I wouldn't have let you do it
It's my fault, I wronged you!
Brother, I've only myself to blame!
I'll never forgive myself to have dragged Man-cheong into it
I deserve to death!
Brother Wong, come on
Although we are exiled
we can start our lives all over again
There has got to be a place somewhere
Man-cheong is right, don't give up
Take this money, find a safe place
Settle down, and...
Don't let others know who you are
Brother Ma, please take care of my wife Lotus
Don't worry, I will take care of her
Settle down and write to me
I will send her to your place myself
We owe you so much, my brother!
Come on!
We will pay you back in our next life
Have you forgotten our oath?
We are brothers, we will share happiness and miseries
Don't you forget!
Well, go now
This is a busy path,
go
Ma, Let's go
Sure we can find a place to hide out!
Take care
Take good care
Stop!
How dare you?
How dare you take the lives of the officers!
Damn you!
May I know your names, ill-fated guys?
Cheung Man-cheong
Wong Chung
Do you remember me?
You are Hung Sum, aren't you?
Wong, it's you who caught me to this cell
Look at what that bastard has turned me into
He took away my eyes and crippled me
Who is he?
He is your sworn brother Ma Sun-yee
No
I heard that you killed Chu
You stupid moron! You have fallen into his trap
What did you say?
You don't know that your swom brother...
has been using you and setting you up?
No, you liar!
You stupid morons!
Before my last breath, I will tell you a story
Two stupid fools were lured to ambush the bandits
not knowing his wife became Ma's playmate
They came back alive, but was lured to kill again
Only that they did not know the prey was a sick man
No...
You adulterer! Ma Sun-yee
Brother Wong...
I want to kill you!
Brother Wong...
Mi-lan, you bitch
I want to kill you!
Brother Wong, no!
Brother Wong
You will pay for it. You sons of bitches
You will pay for it!
I want to kill you!
No, please let my brother go
I beg you, let my brother go
Brother Wong...
I beg you to let my brother go
I beg you!
Brother Wong
No! No!
Brother Wong!
Brother Wong...
Wake up, Brother Wong...
Brother Wong...
How are you?
Brother Wong...
Hang on, Brother Wong
Brother Wong, what's the matter?
No way...
Brother Wong, no! No!
Brother Wong...
It's a set up...
For the sake of maintaining
the reputation and traditions of this town
adulterers and sluts
and those who rape and sexually abuse women
once they are found guilty
will be executed that instance
Those who cover such crimes will be severely punished
Those who disclose such crimes will be awarded
No mercy granted
That's an order
Yes sir!
Ma, you bastard, you will suffer the most cruel death!
Ma Sun-yee's evil deeds are known to heaven and earth
He will pay for it sooner or later
We should be blamed of trusting a wrong guy
Lotus
You'd better run! Run as far as you can
Never come back again
Our souls would protect you
Time!
You've finally come
I understand how you feel
Both of us should calm down after what happened
Will you have hard feelings?
My sworn brothers
committed crimes and lost their lives
I feel so sorry! More than anyone!
More than you still!
No one knows how sad I am
No one can escape from the crimes one committed
If I could save them, I would have done it by all means
But I really couldn't help
Mi-lan betrayed your brother, this is my carelessness for...
I didn't govern her For that I'll never forgive myself
You are a liar
No, I am not
My sister-in-law was your sex slave Am I right?
You wanted them to be killed by
bandits in the raid
And you framed them to kill Chu to get rid of them
They were exiled and you didn't give up
You shed your crocodile tears to set them free
so that they'd be captured by your men to put them to death
I know I would never gain my life back
Let bygone be bygone
I don't want to be Lotus, I want to be a woman you love
Let's start all over again
Can we?
Now that you know what I am
I am no match for you
If only I could be cherished and loved
I would not care less
Are you afraid it's been poisoned?
Be gentle please
Feeling dizzy?
The either wasn't put inside the wine
But on my chest
It's already inside you!
Not only you a liar
