I'm innocent...
Release me...I'm innocent
I beg you...
Release me...I'm innocent
I beg you...let me out
No...Let me out...
Release me...I'm innocent
Release me...release me
Let me go, I want to see sister, let me go
Damn you
I beg you...please release me
I'm innocent...I beg you...
Beaten & wounded all over; & showered with brine
What a lot of efforts!
I'm innocent...
Another one, looks real
I'm innocent...
What are you? An actor?
Kid, someone's here to see you
Why did you do such a thing?
Miss, this is dead man's row. Be terse
Sister, maybe brother made a mistake
we'll think of something
Sister, he deserves it, let's go
Let's go
If the superiors knew, there'll be great trouble
Sister...
This is mine, sister gave it to me
You...
Big brother, 3rd brother, the plan to get Deadly Secret
Our first step has succeeded
Second brother, your wife has suffered much this time
and we sacrificed Ti Yuen as well
Even so it's hard getting information from Ting Dien
...because he is smart
Ti Yuen has been framed and is locked up
he doesn't know it's our plan
Perhaps we could fool Ting Dien
After Ti Yuen gets along with him...
maybe we could find a clue to the Deadly Secret
Ti Yuen must be in a terrible mood
being separated from his beloved Qi Fong
It could jeopardise our next plan
Second brother, the solution is to...
marry my daughter to Man Kwai
while she still has a deep misunderstanding of Ti
Besides, Man Kwai likes her
I think let's...
Let's arrange the marriage
Get up, let's go
I can walk by myself
Let me go
No matter what you do to me I won't speak
Kneel
If you speak
it'll be better for all of us
Don't think you're such a tough guy
Everyone has a weak spot, you know!
Let him sit and speak
What tricks are you up to?
Maybe you're used to our usual methods
we must try some new tricks on you
Sit down
Torture him
"Just and Open"
Water...
Do you think you could fool me?
Don't get any ideas
Are you nuts? I can't even save myself
Why would I bother to fool you?
Someone is using you
I'll kick you to death
Kid, someone has come to see you
Brother, you are here
Where are Teacher and sister?
Why didn't you come to see me for so long?
No need to look around, it's just the 3 of us
How's Master? What about sister?
Your deeds have brought...
shame to Master; he has since renounced you
She should trust me
You mean Sister Man
Sister Man?
Yes
Sister Qi Fong's already married Brother Man Kwai
We now call her Sister Man
Bullshit
He's crazy
It's been only a few months
and this villain has turned nuts
This is a dead man's row
Whoever's in here for a few months becomes mad
We've brought you happy news
...so enjoy your prison term
It's raining so heavily, let's have a few drinks
Little brother
I thought you were pretending so I didn't help
I didn't realise it was real
Well, who needs your help!
I didn't expect you to save me either
You're lucky
I just completed training in the San Chiu kung fu
If you were looking for death last month
...no one in this world could save you
I know what you're going through inside;
would you like to share it with me?
I can take some load off you
I am Ti Yuen. My teacher is Qi Cheung Fat
Last year I went with Teacher to Jing Chou
and practised kung fu together with my brothers
Bravo...
Brother Man, we've come from the village
Our kung fu is not good, let's spar just for points
We are from the same school and sparring is usual
it's no big deal
Qi Fong and I grew up together
Because we were in love
others became jealous
and started picking on me
Brother
Brother Man
It's lucky that Teacher and Uncle stopped us in time
Stop
Don't fight for real
Man Kwai, put on your clothes
How can you be naked in front of sister!
Thank you, sister
For this reason they hated me even more
That night they made me drunk
Help!
When I woke up I found sister-in-law lying beside me
Help
Teacher, sister!
Bastard, how dare you...
do such a thing?
I...
Brother, let's straighten this out
I don't think Ti Yuen
...did such a thing
He stole this jewellery and forced me to accept it
...in return for sex
He also said that he would run away with me
Bullshit, Sister...Uncle
Take him to the magistrate
Sister, don't be upset
Maybe Brother Tieh was drunk
He wasn't drunk, just despicable
He should be punished
Brother, help
I am innocent...
Innocent? Every culprit claims he's innocent
Take him to the magistrate
And this is how I have been thrown into jail
Don't know if sister...
You are taking him out for a beating again
What's it for?
You must be tired of living
You dare to bully him
See if you are tougher than the sword
Go
Get up
Go
Brother Ting
My whereabouts have already been exposed
A lot of people will be looking for me
You'd better be careful
I don't understand
Your kung fu is good...
and you can escape from here anytime
Why do you have to stay here and suffer?
I'll tell you some other time
Here comes the man who'll give me trouble
Ting, everyone is looking for you
You're hiding in this dead man's row in Jing Chou
If you tell us the secret...
we will treat you better
We will split the gains among us 3
If you don't tell, I'll cut off your hand
Carry the dead man away
Brother Ting, what do they want
...from you?
It's because I know of...
a secret that everyone wants to know
What do you intend to do?
Make way...
We all have committed a capital crime
Please lock us in the dead man's row
We are all notorious robbers
It was I who robbed the Jin Lung Escort service
I raped and killed Councillor Wang's daughter
You all know the doings of Hue Dao Clan
We from the Tung Ting Clan killed and burnt
Right...
Shut up
Yelling in the court deserves a death sentence
What's the matter?
This is...
Your Honour, all those villains outside
claim to be notorious robbers
and request to be locked up in the dead man's row
Your Honour, nothing like this
...has happened before
Alright, lock them up
Yes
His Honour commanded that you all be
...Iocked up in the dead man's row
Stay in line, be orderly
Master...
Did you call me?
Put them and Ting Dien in the same cell
Yes
Maybe we can use them...
to find out about the Deadly Secret
Yes, good idea
Wait
Ting Dien might have acquired the San Chiu kung fu
Even his cell might not confine him
Then...
You can allow him to go out freely
but send someone to tail him
Maybe...
this is another way of finding the Deadly Secret
I'll do as told
Alright, go
Yes
Let me make this clear
Ting is here
He is now ours
Whoever isn't willing to accept this decision, speak up
...and save all the troubles later on
Want to fight? Here or outside?
As you wish
Alright
Whoever comes in here will not be allowed to get out
Ting, tell us the Deadly Secret
Master Ting, we wouldn't dare ask for the Deadly Secret
Spare us and let us go
Whoever comes in here will not be allowed to get out
Let's fight him
Alright
You are from the Hue Dao Clan
Yes...
Greetings from Master Bo Cheung
Amitabha
I'm afraid you still can't leave
Kid, it's dangerous here
You'd better leave
No, Brother Ting, I want to learn from you
Teach me
Alright, I had intended to do this
Do like this
Although you are progressing rapidly...
your San Chiu kung fu is still not good enough
Father
Seung Wa, you are 22 now
Or 23 actually according to proper calculation
Is that right?
Your mother has passed away for almost 1 0 years
Official life has brought me no achievement
You've grown up now
and should get married
Frankly speaking, Ting Dien is a nice person
But because of the Deadly Secret...
we bear grudge against each other
I don't object to your marriage
But you have to convince Ting Dien
...to reveal the Deadly Secret
What you have gone through in the official circles
...has been deeply imprinted in my heart
I have never dared to say a word
but I know you very well
If Ting Dien could remain silent
...he could preserve his life
I don't want to mix up my marriage
with the issue of the Deadly Secret
I'm willing to obey you on other matters nevertheless
Alright, you have grown up
I have eyes on Chiu's son
You will marry him before the Mid-Autumn Festival
You want me to marry that playboy?
Rather than keep Ting Dien doting on you...
it'd be better to have you married to someone else
That way at least he could give up hope on you
Father
My decision is final
Father
My decision is final, I'll pick a date for the wedding
Seung Wa
What are you doing?
Who is it?
Seung Wa...it's me
Ting, is it you?
It's me, I've escaped. Open the door
I want to see you
No, I can't
Why? What do you mean?
I swore this on pain of death:
As long as Father doesn't kill you
...I'll never see you again
Seung Wa, go with me
Cover your eyes...
and you will never see me, Seung Wa
I don't want you to see me either
Seung Wa, I must see you
Seung Wa
I've begged Father to let you go
and he wants me to marry somebody else
I said I would never agree to it
And so I disfigured my own face
It's the heart that matters, not the looks;
You've disfigured your own face for me
In my heart...
you are ten times more beautiful than you were
If Father knew...
he would destroy you
You'd better go
I've promised my Father never to see you again
Since I cannot be your good wife
at least let me be a filial daughter
Alright
I'll go back to jail
and look at the flowers in front of your window
Wait
I only hope that after we die
we could be buried together
I hope that some good man can fulfil my wish
I'll pray for him everyday in the under world
Right
Whoever buries us in the same grave
will be told the Deadly Secret
I'll tell you, remember it well
Who lives upstairs?
There is a new pot of flowers everyday
The reason why you look out from the window every day
is because of those flowers
Brother Ting, if you don't like my asking
I'll shut up
You punch heavily
Good, you practise hard
You can endure a blow from my fist
I can tell that your inner strength is good
because you can withstand this blow from me
When can I start learning San Chiu kung fu
You are talented
I can start teaching you very soon
Do you still remember that monk who got away
He's the follower of Bo Cheung
Hue Dao Clan are outlaws in the west
He's gone to deliver the news
and could be there these few days
They have many expert fighters
I might not be their match
I want you to dress as me
such that when they start attacking you
I can attack them from another side
Brother Ting, what's the story about the Deadly Secret?
How come everyone is fighting for it?
You're asking too many questions
Practise your San Chiu kung fu
Third Brother is right
Master Bo Cheung is passing through here
Quite seriously wounded
It's not easy to be able to get out
from the jail in Jing Chou
Master is a monk
and yet can't forget about the Deadly Secret?
What else did Ting say?
He said nothing
It isn't alright taking advantage of others in crisis
Hue Dao Clan monks have been doing a lot of bad things
we could rid the world of an evil today
You'll die by our hand and
we will definitely
be looked up to as heroes
Looks like Ting Dien has acquired the San Chiu kung fu
It must be so
Ti Yuen and him have been together for so long
he must know something about the Deadly Secret
Right, Ting Dien has kept the Deadly Secret
A lot of people in the martial arts world know that
So we should strike first...
or else it would be too late
How do we split the treasure after we've got it?
There'd be so much! We can split anyway we like
We'll never be able to use it all in our life
Third brother has been truly cruel
to send his own student to prison
This is Big Brother's plan
I'm just giving a little push
Eventually there'd be many people...
hustling without any purpose in the martial world
Only the 3 of us know about the secret
Seung Wa
Ting Dien has been cornered
because knows about the Deadly Secret
He's been coming to see you often
he must have told you the secret
I want you to tell me
so that I could settle this once and for all
Father, Brother Ting has not revealed the secret
Although he faces extreme torture in the prison
at least he is still alive
For the sake of Brother Ting, I can't obey you
please forgive me
Alright
You don't obey me
And it must be hard on you
Go inside
Father
I've been waiting for so many years
and you still refuse to talk
I must try this last trick
You want to bury your own daughter alive?
I hope that you can understand
I'm getting old
No
Don't, Father...don't
Father
Don't
Father
Miss
San Chiu kung fu is the most powerful inner kung fu
it uses 'Chi' against physical strength
What I've taught you before was only the styles
This is just a form;
the most important part is inner power
This is the basic
Gather 'Chi' in the diaphragm & circulate in the body
Look
Try it
How come?
How come it's not been changed?
Look, it's the same pot as yesterday's
Maybe she just forgot
She'll change it in the afternoon
Is she sick? It can't be
She can change it even if she's sick
Could she be dead?
She must be dead
Brother Ting, who are you thinking of?
Let's go and have a look
It's none of your business
"Ling Seung Wa"
Seung Wa, why didn't you ask me
to come to see you before you left
Brother Ting, someone's coming
When did Seung Wa die? What illness did she have?
She's been dead for 5 days
The doctor didn't even know what illness she had
he just said that it was depression
You've got what you want
You are to be blamed for being so stubborn
Had you revealed before, Seung Wa wouldn't have died
...and we would have become relatives
Yet now you accuse me of killing your daughter?
She's now dead, what else can I say
If I kill you now
Seung Wa in heaven will blame me
Ling Tui Si, for the sake of your daughter
I can forget how you've tortured me all these years
If you dare to provoke me again
don't blame for being merciless
Brother Ti, let's go
I'm afraid that some villains
might desecrate my daughter's coffin
that's why I've put poison on her coffin
Ling Tui Si, you are so cruel
Tell me the Deadly secret & I'll give you the antidote
Your movements will speed up the effect of the poison
Ti Yuen, hurry and go
Put out the candles
Ting Dien, there's no point running away
when the poison kicks in, you'll die
Brother Ting, what kind of poison is it?
how can you be saved?
This is the poison from the Devil Flower
there's no antidote for that
Sit down
Before I die
I have a lot of things to say to you
Sit tight, don't move
Fate is a strange thing
Brother Ti
I am just an ordinary man
If I didn't happen to be here
years ago
and witnessed the fight
Don't even think of harming Teacher
Stop
Teacher
How dare the 2 of you fight with Teacher?
Qi Cheung Fat, you are here in time
Looks like your 2 brothers want to kill me
You are too rash
Yes, I've known the secrets of the San Chiu kung fu
and the Deadly Secret, which can make you rich
Had you waited a few more years
I would die a natural death
Teacher, don't be angry
Qi Cheung Fat, you...
The 3 of us have discussed about this
we think that it'll be too long to wait till you die
Easy! If you tell us the secret of San Chiu kung fu
and the Deadly Secret
we will attend to your wounds
and serve you till you die
It's too long, I'm afraid it's too late now
I've got 3 good students
If this is so, then I will... o as you wish
Wait, no one should possess everything by himself
Because my 3 students want to get my
San Chiu kung fu and the Deadly Secret
they join force against me
Old sir, you...
If you promise to bury me...
I'll pass you the Deadly Secret & San Chiu kung fu
Old sir, I understand, don't worry
Remember, my name...is Mui Nian Sang
My students are Man Chun Shan, Yin Yuen Ping
and also...Qi Cheung Fat
No, you've got it wrong. Qi Cheung Fat is my Teacher
I know
My Teacher would never do such a kind of thing
Then what would he do?
He put his student in the dead man's row
for the sake of getting the secrets from me
Brother Ti, don't think that Man Chun Shan and his son
are the only ones who got you into this
Your Teacher Qi Cheung Fat must have a part in it
The 3 of them could...
kill their Teacher for the sake of the Deadly Secret
it doesn't matter if they sacrificed you too
He has revealed the secret of the San Chiu kung fu
and the Deadly Secret to me
It is rumoured that the Deadly Secret is...
the place where Emperor Liang Wu left the treasure
which is worth a lot
The Deadly Secret
reveals where these treasures were hidden
Mui Nian Sang died that day
and I buried him
I set up a tombstone for him
And that was how I got into serious trouble
The news of Mui Nian Sang
possessing the Deadly Secret spread
& I was the only person who was with him when he died
Everyone in the martial arts world is looking for me
and forcing me to fight with them
I was troubled for 3 years
One day I went past Wu Cheong
it was autumn and chrysanthemums were blooming
There was a floral show
I love flowers
It's a pity though, there were no green chrysanthemums
Miss, this person knows about green chrysanthemums
Ordinary people won't know about
green chrysanthemums at our home
Mister, she was just saying nonsense, forgive her
"Fei Sing Mansion"
Who are you waiting for?
What?
Have you come to see our lady?
No, I'm here for the green chrysanthemums
May l?
I've to ask Miss
If she agrees
she'll put the flowers near the window
Yes...
Brother Ti, I look ugly
I am just an ordinary man
Miss Ling's father was a scholar
I didn't dare to make friends with those higher-up
but from then onwards
I would wait outside the Ling residence
Ms. Ling would change a pot of flowers for me everyday
I was satisfied
to be able to see her once everyday
This stayed on for about half a year
until one day...
Wait
Capture him alive
Ting Dien
The Deadly Secret is a treasure from my Teacher
Give it up and I'll spare your life
You dare to mention Teacher
The Deadly Secret will be of no use to you if you die
Forget it
I won't tell you
I was seriously wounded
and rested for 2 months before I recuperated
Once I could get up
I went to the Ling resident again
Sir, Scholar Ling...
They moved out a month ago
Where did they go? Please tell me
Are you from a foreign place? Are you their relative?
Where did they go?
He became a magistrate
and is now staying in Jing Chou
He is well-known there
You'll find them easily
Sir
"Magistrate Resident"
You've...Iost weight
I've been attacked, and am wounded
It's windy outside, come up
From that day onwards, I was no longer human
but a fairy in heaven
and even happier than a fairy
Every midnight I would take Miss Ling
to stroll in the wilderness
We kept a platonic relationship
we talked about everything
Iike very good friends
How come your father gave up being a Scholar
and became a magistrate in Jing Chou
My father has spent a lot of money to get this post
He studied history
and knew that there was a great treasure
being hidden somewhere in Jing Chou
Those who hid the treasure left some clues
which could lead the treasure
but my father doesn't know the clues
and has to try the hard way
Staying in Jing Chou to look for the treasure
The Deadly Secret
You know that too
I know that too
I am the only one in the world who knows about it
Let me tell you, the Deadly Secret...
I don't want to listen, and I don't want any treasure
I just want my life
to be like tonight
You scare me
What?
Nothing
I've told father
About what?
About us
What did he say?
He said as I wish
He also said that he wanted to see you tomorrow
Great! No wonder you're embroidering the 'Yuan Yang'
You're making fun of me
Come in
Miss...
Have a seat first, I'll ask Father to come out
Chun Mui, bring some tea for Mr. Ting
Yes
Siu Kuk, follow me
Yes
Master is here
Devil Flower
You're smart
You'll be safe on you own from now on
and I needn't worry
Do you think this matter...
could be...Brother Ting
Maybe father and daughter conspired together
That's nonsense
Don't be mad, I was wrong
I adore Miss Ling
Why would she cheat me
If only she would say
tell my dad the Deadly Secret, I'll do it
Even the most valuable treasure can't compare
with Seung Wa
But people like Ling Tui Si don't understand
He thinks that everyone
values only wealth like him
At the time you...
At the time I fainted
when I woke up, it was already...
I am Seung Wa's father
It's easy if you want her
Just tell me the Deadly Secret
and she could be your wife
Speak
Though the Deadly Secret is invaluable
This is not of
any importance to me
Didn't expect however that an honourable magistrate
...from Jing Chou can be so mean
Seung Wa deserves more than that
Alright
Now that you are in my hands, I'll make you talk
Kuk Yau...
Mr. Ting
Kuk Yau, where's Miss?
"Window"
Kuk Yau
Ling Tui Si will beat me up badly
once every month
By bribery etc., he wants me to tell the Deadly Secret
I know that at most I'll be beaten up if I don't talk
but if I did, I would die right away
That's why I haven't said a word
Ling Tui Si sent a few men to be...
in the same cell to try to obtain information from me
When I came to the prison
you must have thought that Ling Tui Si sent me
Yes, if you haven't tried to kill yourself
I wouldn't have believed you
Brother Ting, did you ever see
Miss Ling again?
Yes
I've been practising the San Chiu kung fu in prison
and have made progress
The night when I'd acquired the San Chiu kung fu
I paralysed you
and slipped out of the prison
to see Miss Ling
Brother Ting, you can rest assure that
if anything happened to you
I'd definitely bury you and Miss Ling in the same grave
I do this out of my own will
not because of the Deadly Secret
Even if you tell me, I won't listen
Ti, if you get this treasure
you can save many people who are in need of help
Listen, the first sentence of the Deadly Secret is
I don't want to listen
Come over
I don't want to listen...
Come over
I don't want to listen...
Teacher
Go in, ask him to reveal the Deadly Secret
I am your Teacher, why don't you listen to me
Ti Yuen, if you can only get
the Deadly Secret from Ting Dien
You like sister, don't you?
I can ask her to re-marry you
Third Brother, your student is not listening to you
Right, you've even killed your teacher for that reason
I am disobedient
Kill this bastard
Then we'll go and tell Ting Dien
that he can be buried with Miss Ling in the same grave
He will definitely tell us
Brother, Ting knows that we are together
No one will get the Deadly Secret
Kill him
Right
Stop beating
Brothers, although Ti Yuen is bad
he is still our student, forget it
Ti Yuen
Ti Yuen, I know that you've suffered greatly in prison
I won't blame you for not listening to me
Brother Ti
Ting Dien
Now you should tell us the Deadly Secret
If you tell us
we will have you both buried in the same grave
You...
Apart from me
who else can bury you in the same grave
Even if Ti Yuen can beat the 3 of them
he still can't get away from me
Only I can bury Seung Wa and you in the same grave
If you refuse...
Seung Wa would certainly blame you in the hereafter
Alright, I'll tell you
Brother Ting...
Ting Dien, tell me the Deadly Secret
If I agree to let one of you know
who will be the one to listen to the secret?
I...
Who will it be?
You decide among yourselves first
I am the Big Brother
Even Teacher has been killed by us
Is there any big brother?
Brother Ting
Qi Cheung Fat, what's the use of holding a corpse
Brother Ting
See if he's really dead
He can't be alive
It's not easy to live till now
when he's been poisoned by the Devil Flower
He's dead, are you happy?
Get out
Ting Dien is dead
Who's got the Deadly Secret?
It's rumoured that Ling Tui Si's only daughter knows it
Let's go find her
She's dead
I suppose no one will ever know this secret
How can that be?
You know the Deadly Secret
You'd rather die than tell me, why?
If you don't tell me
I won't let Ting Dien be buried in the same grave
"Tombstone of my beloved daughter Ling Seung Wa"
Miss Ling, please forgive me
I've brought Brother Ting to you
How come your two hands are pushing upwards?
You hadn't died of sickness
You were buried alive
You find that out
You are not a human
She is your own daughter
Why didn't she tell me about the Deadly Secret?
That's right
I was the one who buried her alive
I wanted to lure Ting Dien to come to see her
so that he'd be poisoned and reveal the secret to me
It turned out that you didn't get anything
If you dare to touch Brother Ting's body
I'll fight you to the death
Since you and Ting Dien want to live and die together
I'll fulfil your wish
The Deadly Secret...
Tien Ning Temple outside Jing Chou
Incense burning in the great hall
Humbly praying to Buddha
for peace in the next world
This is Ting Dien's unmarried wife
who had left this before her death
Look at it carefully
Let me see...
Bless us be rich
Let us have the treasure
Bless us
We have prayed for 3 days and 3 nights
Nothing is happening
Your daughter must have fooled us before her death
Bullshit
There's no point of being arrogant now
Hurry
Student, how are you?
Teacher, you must be rich
Ting Dien must have revealed to you
the Deadly Secret before he died
Or else...
you wouldn't be sitting here at ease
Peace comes from desiring nothing
Still not talking?
How come they've started a fight?
Since you're my teacher I spare your life
Treasure...
Treasure, hurry and get it
Don't push me...
It's mine
It's poisoned
It must be some kind of trick of that kid
Catch him
Brother
This poison can't harm me
You are lucky if you are really poisoned
"Tombstone of Master and Mistress Ting Dien"
