Seven Swords
Episode 29
You there! Why are you doing here so late?
Why were you so careless?
Nothing. We're just taking the garbage out.
I'm all right.
Your shirt is torn.
Let me fix it for you.
It's all right.
Don't worry about it.
I insist. Give it to me.
And you.
Uh.
Give me your clothes to fix.
My child...
I love you so much.
Are you all right. - I'm fine.
There's no need.
Be careful.
Yufang.
Dad.
Dad. Have a drink.
Thanks
Before, when I ordered your marriage,
I didn't think about your feelings.
When I thought about it afterwards.
I realised that I made a mistake.
Dad. Don't talk about it anymore.
It's in the past now.
Yes. Yes. It's in the past.
However,
I think...
I think Mulang and Zhibang...
are both very good men.
Dad. What are you talking about?
I am not a man of words.
Don't you understand?
A war is about to break out in Hangzhou.
No one knows what will happen in this battle.
I'm worried about you.
So, no matter whom you choose, you have my blessing.
I will be relieved when someone takes care of you.
It's all right for me to die.
But you have to live on.
My child.
If you come out too late,
then I won't be able to protect you.
Don't kick me.
I am drawing.
By the time you are born,
the tangerines on the trees will have turned red.
Step aside. Step aside.
Quick. Quick. Quick.
Step aside.
You two go and search over there!
Yes. - You two over there!
You two go inside. - Yes.
Sir. Didn't you just search this place?
Shut up!
This way please. This way.
Princess...
You should eat something. Think of your child.
Eat something.
Princess. You cannot stay hungry. Come on. Eat something.
Princess... Don't be like that.
As a princess,
you should have stayed at home and enjoyed your life.
Why did you come here and suffer?
You cannot even go out to get some sun.
I'm all right. Mother Kai.
Put it there for now.
I'll eat in a while.
Are you all right?
We've done it. We're through.
We're through.
We should not rescue anyone yet. They need some food first.
Yes. They were worried that the food might be poisonous.
So they didn't eat anything.
They must be very weak now.
We'll give them some food.
And check out the situation.
We'll rescue them in two days.
Master. Let me go.
I'll go.
Zhibang's working as a waiter in the inn.
He shouldn't leave suddenly.
Mulang. You go.
Find out what it's like inside.
Zhibang can help you from outside.
Good.
Hwazhao. Look how big the tangerines are.
I want one. - I want one too.
The teacher said that we should not let anyone know that we're here.
But I really want one.
Panda. Look after them.
All right.
What time will you go?
Around midnight.
Our brothers have starved themselves for too long.
Take more food. - All right.
Do you recognize the names?
You must be careful, remember you'll be alone.
Don't worry. It's going to be all right.
Are you ready now?
Almost.
Master...
There's someone in the house next-door.
What?
I sneaked in and saw someone there.
No way.
We asked people about them.
We were told they were out of town.
Could they have returned?
No.
They are acting very strangely.
They keep very quiet,
and they don't light the lanterns at night.
Mulang. Don't go to the jailhouse tonight.
Master. We shouldn't delay anymore.
Duo Geduo is arriving in two days.
It will be too late if we don't go tonight.
No way. We mustn't be reckless.
If the people inside the house...
have been sent by the government,
then we won't be able to rescue anybody.
We will also be putting the others at risk.
When you asked about this family,
did you find out their surname?
Zhao. It's Zhao.
Princess. You should rest.
Spring. What happened?
Did someone find out about us?
They couldn't have. - Then who is it?
Mother Kai. Don't.
If someone knocks and we put a light on, it will look even more suspicious.
What should we do, Princess?
Spring. See who it is.
All right.
Princess.
Who is it?
I am Zhao Yezi. I'm here to find Second Brother.
Who? Second Brother?
Yes, is he in?
Hey.
Who are you miss?
Zhao Yezi. I'm here to find Second Brother.
Second Brother is...
He is the master of the house.
But our master is not at home.
Where is he?
He is doing business out of town.
What should I do then?
Look Miss... Our master is not at home.
There's no point looking, he's not here.
Miss... Miss.
Miss!
Miss... Where are you going?
There's no one inside Miss.
What are you doing?
You can't go in there!
Get out!
Get out of here!
Spring... Let her come in.
Is someone there?
Please sit down Miss.
We are relatives of Mrs. Zhao.
We haven't visited very often.
So you may not have heard of us.
I'm sorry to have scared you.
It's all right.
You're pregnant?
Isn't it obvious? Idiot.
Something happened in my husband's home.
So we came here to wait for the baby.
We don't want anyone to know we are here.
Please keep this a secret for me.
Of course. I shouldn't disturb you then.
It's late. You won't be safe alone.
You should stay tonight. You can leave tomorrow.
No. My aunt's place is nearby.
I'll go to her place.
All right. I'll see you out.
Mother Kai. This place is not safe.
We cannot stay here any longer.
That woman...
was not looking for a relative.
She is here to check on us.
I'll go pack.
Those three women are suspicious.
We should be careful.
Mulang. You cannot go tonight.
Master.
Those women are suspicious.
But they might not affect our plans.
No, we should be very careful.
I tested one of the women.
She doesn't know any martial arts.
Another is pregnant.
All she can do is lie down in bed.
The other one is an old woman.
I could see fear in her eyes.
She was not pretending.
Even so... They may still work for the government.
They may be watching us.
It's too dangerous. Don't go!
But tonight is the guard's superior's birthday. It's a great opportunity.
If we don't take the risk tonight, it will be difficult to find another chance.
Dad...
I think I'm right about the three women.
Let Mulang go.
Master... I will grab this opportunity. Don't worry.
Zhibang. You've seen them.
Why don't you say something?
Zhibang... What do you think?
Master. Let me go.
All right. I will guard this place myself.
I won't let anybody pass through.
You have to be careful.
Be careful.
When you go in,
you might not have a clear view of the place immediately.
Maybe you'll have to stay in there for a few days.
Don't worry. I can manage.
And...
Don't rescue those that are not on the name list.
I'm going now.
Don't go yet.
Yufang has something to give you.
No, wait until I come back.
Mulang.
I'm going to check the entrance.
I've sewn your shirt. You can wear it.
The wedding clothes that we wore are useless now.
So I used the cloth...
to sew your clothes.
Thank you.
Keep hold of this for me.
Wait for me to come back.
Princess.
Come on. Let's go, Princess.
Lets' go. Princess. Hurry up.
Quick.
Princess. Quick.
Be careful.
Drawings. My drawings.
Princess. It's all right. Just think about your child.
We'll get the drawings later.
Come on.
Get up.
Brother... Come out.
Who are you?
I'm Mulang, of the seven swords.
I'm Gu Yuzu, master of Red Spear Society in Suzhou.
Brother. I have come to rescue you.
No, it's pointless.
Go quickly.
How about this?
I have brought you some food and medicine.
Try to get it to the others.
Help them recover their strength and I'll think of a way to rescue you.
Good. Thanks. Go quickly.
Yufang...
Yufang.
Yufang... You should get some sleep.
I can stand guard alone.
It's all right.
Yufang.
Don't worry. He will be all right.
Yufang. You were right.
Those three women are not a threat.
You think so too?
Those three women do not work for the government.
When they hear the whistles in the street,
their house becomes dark and still.
My guess is that they are hiding from something.
When Dad asked you about it,
why didn't you say anything?
It's Mulang's business.
My words are meaningless.
And he was asking you at that time.
What does that mean?
Yufang.
Mulang and you...
have been married once.
I know that it wasn't a real wedding.
But I still feel...
that the two of you are a perfect match.
Stop this nonsense.
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking about Swordsman Chu.
That day by the river,
he was killing men while holding his love,
he acted like a madman.
If love can make a person...
act like that,
then I'm very scared.
Zhibang.
Can I choose never to fall in love?
Can I choose to live alone my whole life?
You can, but you shouldn't think like that.
Why?
Because you are a woman.
Women should not live their lives alone.
Why are you still coughing? Have you got a cold?
I'm all right.
Well then... go back now.
I can manage alone.
Go on.
Go.
It is called the "Deity Sword".
It is the first sword I made when I came here.
I made this from the fire of the stone...
that fell down from heaven.
It can cut into a mountain...
and made me stand up on my own again.
So, this sword represents...
everything starting anew.
You have to treasure it.
You need intelligence to use this sword.
The sword and the person have to become one.
This sword...
has finally found a master.
The sword cuts through the mountain and the clouds,
I will cut off the loving feeling with anger.
After gathering strength, ants can lift stones,
Gathering people can control the world.
I, Han Zhibang...
thank you for your kindness.
Are the dishes ready? The customers are waiting.
I'm sorry. I will deliver them very soon.
Quickly. Quickly.
Wang Wu. Wang Wu.
Yes.
Wang Fenghai.
Wang Fenghai. Wang Fenghai. Yes.
Jiang Pengyuan. Jiang Pengyuan. Yes.
Everyone on the list is here.
Where is the chief?
I don't know.
Since I was locked in here,
I haven't seen him.
Did he...
No.
We were separated when we were captured.
But at the time, of my trial,
I saw him one last time.
I've drawn a map.
It's here.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Good.
Master.
In jail, Gu Yuzu gave me this.
He said that the chief...
used to be locked in this place.
But I've been there and it was empty.
If we cannot find the chief,
should we rescue the other brothers first? Then think of our next move.
No way. We have to find the chief.
If we are exposed,
and the secret passageway is discovered,
then we won't be able to rescue him.
Then we can only leave Hangzhou with the other brothers.
I have asked some old people.
They said that before they built the government building,
there used to be a warehouse.
They heard that the cellar was very big.
They stored a lot of stuff in there.
Now the warehouse has gone.
But they built the jail house in it's place.
The cellar might still be there.
Are you saying that there's a cellar under the jail house?
Master. Maybe I should go and take a look.
All right.
Yufang. You go and guard the people in the neighbourhood.
All right.
Let me out!
Let us out!
Sir. The alarm has been set off in the jail.
I've waited three days for this.
Keep on blowing the horn.
Lure the rebels of the Red Spear Society out.
You aren't going to rescue them, are you?
You people from Shanxi.
You don't want to save anybody but yourselves.
If we were afraid, then we wouldn't have joined the Red Spear Society.
Step aside! We are going to rescue them.
Let us out!
Step aside!
No way! This must be some kind of trap.
If you go in like this, you will die.
Are you saying that...
we shouldn't rescue our brothers and the chief?
No. We'll just have to find another way.
This must have been set up by the new governor.
He wants us to barge in there.
So that he can beat us all.
By the time you think of a way,
all of our brothers will have been executed.
No way.
I will lead my men in an attack on the jail.
You people from Shanxi.
If you are afraid to die, then step aside! We'll go!
Brothers.
Our brothers are very loyal to the society.
I am not well educated.
I am a rough fellow.
I am willing...
to sacrifice my life if necessary.
We have hidden ourselves for so long...
waiting for Duo Geduo to enter the city so we can attack him.
If we take action now,
then our hiding place will be exposed.
Brothers...
You are well educated people.
Please think this through.
You are...
I'm Wu Jiuji, the chief of Hangzhou.
Masters.
What if I go in there to help him alone?
Just you alone?
If you go through the secret passageway,
then the soldiers can use the secret passageway to find us.
No. I have another method.
I won't go through the secret passageway.
I will storm into the place through the main entrance.
Zhibang.
You are the chief?
Yes.
I'm here to rescue you.
You are...
I am Mulang, one of the seven swords from Mount Heaven.
Mulang. Young Man. You can't rescue me.
Listen to my order, Han Zhibang.
I order you to rescue the people in jail.
Life or death will be determined by fate.
Yes.
