I've been a drifter for so long.
He's the only man who has captured my heart.
Bitter or sweet, it's my life.
Whatever is to happen will happen!
What are you talking about?
Whose dagger is this?
Mine. I killed someone with it 2 years ago.
With sisters like you, I finally have a family.
Ma Wan-ling, you'll always be my wife!
This will never change.
What are you staring at?
Whatever you want to say, spit it out!
Want me to serve the next course?
Yes and I'll pay for it!
Serve me the best food you have.
Yes, Master Sap-kau!
Come with me to the kitchen!
Yes.
You?
We're not here to rub it in.
We know what happened.
Give her time, Wan-ling will be back.
Don't let this go to waste.
Look at us, brothers!
While other men go whoring on Courtyard Street West,
we're in pursuit of true love.
How pathetic!
Apart from Tao Fa, Yeung Mau and Wan-ling,
were not interested in any other women.
We're made of the same mold,
and love them whole heartedly.
We're even stupid enough to believe in
such nonsense as "faith can move mountains"
and that one must be faithful and loyal.
What are you complaining about?
Bianjing is doomed,
and the 4 of us will die as lonely hearts.
To pursue true love and grow old together is the right thing to do.
I know, I just feel like moaning.
I wasn't unfaithful!
I was just ambushed. Trust me!
Of course I do, I'm your adviser.
I trust you. Don't be a pain!
It's all in the heart!
We can still drink even when the going gets tough.
I'd do anything to get drunk.
For guys with nothing. What's there to celebrate?
My wife's walking out on me!
Mine's the biggest reason! My wife wanted to divorce mei
There are other things more worth celebrating!
Someone wants to kill me.
Are you serious?
Dying is nothing more than your head hitting the ground.
The Four Dragons of Bianjing work as a team.
Whoever wants to kill you must kill us first.
Yes, we're the Four Dragons of Bianjing.
What about you?
Me? My problem is now your problem.
Yeung Mau should be with Tai-lik,
Wan-ling and Sap-kau are a pair.
I'm by myself.
What should we do now?
Our karma is already here.
Where? Why can't I see it?
The cause and effect are both in our hearts.
You must read them with your heart.
What appears to be true may not be true.
You're just not savvy enough.
Why do these dragonflies look gold to me?
They're made of gold foil?
It's pure gold.
I wanted to give them to Wan-ling and Sap-kau as their wedding present.
Now that the wedding is off,
whoever wants them can take them.
I don't mind.
They're mine!
I'll give it to Tao Fa.
Don't touch them!
Wait up, Sap-kau!
Jerks!
Don't fight me!
How dare you fight me for them!
Where?
Out of my way...
Give it to me or I'll chop off your hand!
Hey...Cheung-sing! I got one for you!
What a bunch of kids!
Give it to me!
Where? Get it yourself!
Where?
Go get it!
Hey, get it yourself!
Give them to me!
Give me that...give it to me!
Are you sure about this?
Let me remind you, there's no turning back once you go inside.
We must settle this somehow.
I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do.
If you don't find it humiliating, I won't mind either.
I'm prepared to be the laughing stock!
What brings you here at this hour?
You have a bum rap?
I wish to sue Yan Mei-leung for fraud.
What have you lost?
She swindled my body, ruined my reputation and broke up my family.
What?
Tao Fa has moved out of the Peach Blossom's
and has submitted the divorce paper to the yamen.
Though Chu Cheung-sing won't accept it,
they'll be divorced after 30 days.
As expected, the baby I'm carrying
is good enough to make my sister give up Cheung-sing,
and let her poor sister get her wish.
What are you doing here?
Yan Mei-leung, Chu Cheung-sing has sued you for fraud.
Please come down to the yamen with us.
What is he doing?
He should just accept the divorce paper.
But Cheung-sing only loves you.
He won't let you divorce him.
Sap-kau, you're such a traitor!
One minute you say you're on my side
and the other, you're helping that creep beat the drum.
I have 2 hands,
both hands hurt when one hits the other.
You're a traitor nonetheless.
Go take a look and hear him out.
A whoremonger and a prostitute,
neither has any sense of shame.
I can't believe it!
What a shame!
The plaintiff has requested a closed court.
Only authorised people allowed!
Uncle Kwa, Tai-tong, you are here too.
The witnesses are all here, Magistrate.
The trial can begin, Magistrate.
Chu Cheung-sing claims that
on July 25th and 26th
Yan Mei-leung used despicable means
to take advantage of his body,
ruin his reputation and wreck his family.
Yan Mei-leung, how do you plead?
Not guilty, Magistrate!
Chu Cheung-sing and I love each other,
but unfortunately we can't be together.
I'm surprised he's making charges against me.
I'm the real victim here.
I certainly do not love you.
We had fun on a boat ride and pledged our love.
I did no such thing!
When someone took advantage of me,
you came forward in my defense.
Why would you do it if you didn't love me?
Was that your ploy to get me into bed?
Now that you got what you want, you dumped me like garbage.
You really like to twist things around.
You're distorting the facts.
You ruined my reputation,
I wish I was dead.
What a joke!
I have heard of a woman breaking a man's heart,
or swindled his money.
But for a woman to swindle a man's body is simply unheard of.
You're a man of great physical strength.
How could I possibly have swindled your body?
How could I have ruined your reputation?
Allow me to defend him, Magistrate!
Permission granted, but be concise.
Is Chu Cheung-sing human or a beast?
Definitely human!
Does he love his wife Tao Fa?
Don't be deceived by his looks, Magistrate.
He's stupid like a pig.
He couldn't stop crying when his wife left.
His wife is the only woman he loves.
To him, other women are no different from camels.
He's willing to die for his wife.
I took him to Yee Heung Lau,
he remained a gentleman even when women sat on his lap.
Even if his wife can't bear him any children
he has remained faithful to her.
He's a typical henpecked husband.
He wanted to go after his wife in Wuzhou.
No need to mention anything irrelevant to the case.
Of course it's relevant!
Allow me to make a bold assumption,
on July 25th and 26th,
Yan Mei-leung didn't take advantage of Chu Cheung-sing, Tao Fa did.
Nonsense! The baby I'm carrying is the best proof.
Chu Cheung-sing took advantage of me.
I took Yan Mei-leung's pulse.
No doubt she's pregnant.
But it was Tao Fa who had sex with Chu Cheung-sing, not Yan Mei-leung.
How dare you toy with me?
I'm not doing that. This is the absolute truth!
I have witnesses.
Uncle Kwa, what did you see on July 25th?
I saw Tao Fa when I was setting up my stand.
I found my wife, thanks to Uncle Kwa.
That night, she cooked for me
and we played wrestling afterwards.
I had no doubt in my mind
my wife Tao Fa was with me and sleeping beside me.
The next morning, we saw a lot of people on the streets.
Mr Heung, on July 26th,
did they drop by your food stand?
Yes, that woman criticised everything.
She complained about my buns and said my soya milk was tasteless.
You're sure it was her?
She has bushy eyebrows, big eyes and a gruff voice.
I saw her too!
She blamed me for badmouthing her for becoming a prostitute.
I gave her a few rolls as a token of my apology.
Your Honour, all the evidence indicates
it was Tao Fa who went to bed with Cheung-sing that night.
It's normal for a couple to have sex after a long absence.
That means Cheung-sing is innocent,
and Yan Mei-leung lied about the baby.
You're making him the scapegoat!
I went to bed with Chu Cheung-sing that night, not Tao Fa.
No, it was Tao Fa.
No, it was me!
I'm glad you admitted it!
That means you disguised as Tao Fa
and tricked Cheung-sing to go to bed with you.
Chu Cheung-sing thought you were Tao Fa the whole time.
Why did you dress up as Tao Fa?
Because you knew Cheung-sing only loved Tao Fa.
The only way to ruin Cheung-sing was to disguise as Tao Fa.
I see, you managed to pull the wool over his eyes
and you used that as the excuse to wreck his family.
Yan Mei-leung, you have no shame.
You dressed up as Cheung-sing's wife to get him into bed.
You're definitely guilty of fraud.
Chu Cheung-sing is not a beast.
He and his wife love each other.
If you hadn't tricked him into believing you're Tao Fa,
you'd never had got your chance to come between them.
What can you say for yourself, Yan Mei-leung?
Yes, I dressed up as Tao Fa.
Hear that, Honey?
She made use of my love for you
and played me like a fool.
And I was stupid enough
to have done something unforgivable.
I'm really sorry, Honey!
I hereby declare, Yan Mei-leung is guilty of fraud...
Hold on, Magistrate!
I dressed up as Tao Fa because I love Chu Cheung-sing,
but he wouldn't give me the time of day.
I couldn't accept that!
I may be condemned for what I have done,
but what's wrong with loving someone?
Besides, Chu Cheung-sing had fun that night.
He had nothing to lose.
This does not constitute a fraud.
Fraud is when you fabricate something
to gain someone's trust.
Even if the victim enjoyed the process,
he was plunged into so much guilt that he wanted to die.
It has also broken his relationship with his wife.
How can you make it up to him?
Your Honour, I brought the case to court,
not because I wanted to quibble
or shirk my responsibility.
I only want to prove to my wife.
Honey, I only love you and no one else.
If you use lewdness as the ground for divorce,
and make me many Yan Mei-lung,
I'd rather die than comply.
But if you want to hold me responsible for her baby,
I'm more than happy to oblige.
Well said!
Tao Fa, you should really listen to him.
It's all because my sister loves you.
Loving someone isn't everything.
Your sister was trying to steal your husband
That's unforgivable!
She deliberately tried to break you up!
Don't believe her, Honey!
I don't, but you didn't have to embarrass her like this.
If you don't mind, I won't pursue it.
Your Honour, I only wanted to clear my name and get my wife back.
Now that we know the truth,
I'm willing to drop the charges.
3 stupid fools in a stupid mess!
Go home and think it over,
before you bother me again! Court is dismissed!
Thank you, Magistrate!
Good, you patched things up!
Can you forgive me, Honey?
Tao Fa, toss the divorce paper!
Don't go easy on this vicious woman!
Chu Cheung-sing, thanks for being so vicious,
and press charges against me in court.
Thanks for your heartlessness.
You've left me caught in a dead end.
Why are you being so pigheaded?
All because of you.
In order to cut me off,
you pressed charges against me in court
and got all these witnesses here to testify against me.
But you have forgotten one thing:
women tend to hold a grudge.
I will remember this day well,
and pay you back double.
Sis...
Don't talk to her!
She's carrying your child.
She hates us so much.
I'm worried she'll take it out on the baby.
No, it's her baby too!
She should still have a conscience.
Women can be quite vicious.
That's what you should say.
Whatever you say!
Women think before they act,
but men act on an impulse.
You're driving us mad.
Hold on, I can feel Mei-leung...
She's so angry she wants to kill someone.
Why don't you wait here?
Yes! It's best not to add fuel to the fire.
Don't provoke her, she's with child.
I know!
Go on...
Well? Worried about your baby's life now? I've spoken with Tao Fa.
Since you're carrying my child,
no matter what happened, he's still mine.
If you don't mind, we'll find someone to look after you.
You can then focus on stabilising the baby.
When it's born, you can give it to us.
He'll have parents to look after him.
I guarantee we'll raise him properly.
But if you insist on taking him away,
we have no right to object.
You're dreaming!
What do you want?
Divorce Tao Fa and marry me!
I guess that's dreaming too.
You only persist in your mistake because you're not resolved.
Of course I'm not resolved!
What does Tao Fa have that I don't?
She's a plain and crude girl from the country.
I'm brilliant and she's stupid like a pig.
Don't you know what's good for you?
Tao Fa is your sister!
How can you show no regard for her?
What if you got what you want and she killed herself?
Can you live with that?
Family and conscience mean nothing to me.
She's your own ﬂesh and blood! You're exactly alike!
We're definitely not alike!
You can die a thousand times,
and yet you'll never make up for the pain you've inﬂicted on me.
Tao Fa had the easy life,
I suffered while she was carefree
and had a husband who loved her.
If I got to choose, I'd rather be the one who fell into the water.
Let me be the one who's adopted.
Then I wouldn't have had to suffer in a living Hell
There's only room for one of us.
I want her dead whenever I see her innocent face.
Chu Cheung-sing, your family is destined to end with you.
I'm good for my word.
I will pay you back double the pain you have caused me.
Are you alright?
Don't blame me, baby! Blame your father!
He wanted you dead.
You took medication for an abortion?
How can you be so cruel?
Take her to the doctor!
Go away! The baby must die!
The baby must die!
I wanted to make your wish come true,
but I couldn't help it when he refused.
You can be heartless towards me.
Even a beast doesn't eat its young
but you killed your own son!
You're worse than a beast!
Shut up! Spare me your hypocrisy!
Honey, you're talking to a wall.
Don't think you can make us feel guilty!
We won't!
It's your own doing.
If the baby wants to come after you,
it's your fault, not ours.
Think again if you think you can break us up.
You're right, I'm stupid like a pig,
I almost handed over my husband to you on a silver platter.
But you've taught me well.
Come rain or shine,
I'll never let go of him again!
Get out!
Are you alright, Miss?
Shall I send for a doctor?
Throw them out!
You'll get retribution for the blood on your hands.
You'll get retribution!
If I can’t keep you, why keep the baby?
Out!
Poor baby!
Forget it! We've done our best!
Don't take it to heart!
Do you mind Yan Mei-leung and I have...
Are you mad at me for trying to divorce you?
No!
Then I'll try hard to forget.
But I'm still worried.
I have a feeling Mei-leung won't let it rest.
When she said she'd pay me back double,
it gave me the creeps.
A wise man knows when to back away.
We don't belong to Bianjing
and you don't belong to the Bureau.
Let's go back to Wuzhou.
Then we can forget about everything.
Look who's talking!
Who said I belonged to the Bureau back then?
Back then no one was after my husband!
Now we have a pressing problem,
we'd better leave right away.
We don't have anything in Bianjing
except a little bit of money,
which can last us forever in Wuzhou.
In your dreams! We don't have that much!
Sap-kau told me everything.
What?
You've saved up enough and bought a house.
What?
How much do you really have?
Only bad news travel fast.
A man in Bianjing goes to court to save his chastity!
That's absolutely unheard of!
I do have a sense of shame,
but I was being cornered, I had no choice.
I'm just a small potato, unlike you, the old steed ready to charge again.
You'll be invincible when you become the Prime Minister.
Alright!
(Resignation)
A resignation letter here? You plan to leave the Bureau?
Yes !
And pick chicken bones in Wuzhou?
I'm grateful for your grooming,
and I'm letting you down by leaving.
But my mind is made up,
I hope you'll grant me my wish.
Relax! I won't force you against your will.
You may go if that's what you want.
Just like that?
You want me to change my mind?
No!
If fame and fortune could last,
the Han River should ﬂow northwest.
These recent events have made me realise
what matters the most is not one's achievements but human relations.
It feels lonely at the top.
I've slaved for Song for decades.
In the name of a great undertaking,
I made sure I had no worries at home,
and have forsaken love all these years.
But sometimes as I lay awake at night,
I realised if anything should happen to me,
no one would mourn my death.
It dawned on me how much I have missed.
I don't want you to make the same mistake.
You've finally come to your senses.
No matter what happens in the future,
you'll always be like a son to me.
Take care, Sir!
Before I go, I'll treat you to the best wine.
Drop by the Peach Blossom Grove and we'll have a blast.
The Sun Section is falling apart.
People have changed though the place stays the same.
People are gone!
Out with the old, in with the new.
The new one is not as capable.
I'm too capable of playing hooky.
Allow me to say something.
There's no need for the long faces.
A true hero retires at the height of his career
so that he can enjoy life.
We should be happy for Cheung-sing.
Chuen-kung, you're so optimistic!
Let me tell you a story.
A rich man passes by a river
and sees a man fishing at leisure.
The rich man gets really envious and tells the other man:
I work very hard my entire life
so that I can live like you.
You must be rich.
The man replied, "I'm flat broke,
but I already have the life you dream about."
I get it, no amount of money in your purse
can compare to the wealth in your heart.
Rather than going fishing when you're 80,
why not go to the river right now?
It's not that easy.
Who'll feed the mouths at home?
Chuen-kung is talking about the mentality.
You're wealthy when you're content and know when to let go.
Let go of worries!
Farming and fishing can make you happy.
Did Tai-lik go fishing? Where is he?
He's at Chat Sheung Kei.
He should be back soon.
Someone is here to see Tai-lik.
I'll go.
No, Chuen-kung and I will take of it.
Sure!
Good!
May I have your name?
Chor Chat-kim! Where is Ngau Tai-lik?
He's working. What do you want with him?
Challenge him to a duel of death.
Two years ago, me and my godfather Ho Biu
were sent to catch Ngau Tai-lik.
That creep stabbed my godfather with a dagger.
Tell Ngau Tai-lik to meet me at the Quicksand River.
I must avenge my godfather.
What is to happen will happen.
Pass him the message.
Tell him to be there at 7 tomorrow morning.
There's no end to revenge.
Between me and Ngau Tai-lik, this is our fate.
(Death)
Who is he? What does he want with Tai-lik?
I promised Tai-lik I wouldn't tell you.
I'll ask him.
No!
You...
You can't wrap fire with paper.
Yeung Mau will find out eventually.
His name is Chor Chat-kim. He wants revenge.
Revenge?
What did Tai-lik do again?
Can't you just pay him off?
I wish it was that simple,
but it's about a life.
I might as well tell you everything.
Tai-lik killed his godfather 2 years ago.
I can feel the aura of death around him.
His sword can cut through iron like mud.
See?
He's a real expert. He's determined to kill!
He has quite a weapon!
He must have learnt the Faceless Sword from The Ghost.
He meant to kill with each move!
Killing himself and Tai-lik!
We have Zhanlu Sword. It's just as good.
But Tai-lik is not putting up a fight.
He feels guilty about killing a good man.
He said it's customary in the underworld to pay a debt with one's life.
When someone collects the debt, he'll give them his head.
He's been guilt ridden for 2 years.
Death is his only redemption.
Everyone wants to live, nobody wants to die.
Don't tell Tai-lik anything.
Let Chor Chat-kim rot by the Quicksand River.
It's rude to stand someone up.
Enemies always run into each other.
I saw Chor Chat-kim.
I agreed to meet him by the Quicksand River.
He want to kill you!
If you are to die, you will die. I'll be there!
Tai-lik!
Alright! Quit nagging!
This is to punish me for killing a good man.
Ho Biu was the first good man you killed?
And the last!
I remember it was July 7th.
There were fireworks everywhere which lit up the sky.
Fireworks on July 7th?
After killing Ho Biu, I started running...
until I couldn't stand up anymore.
Then I fell to the ground and started to throw up.
It was much worse than when I was drunk.
Where were you on that day 2 years ago?
The gold factory on White Tree Lane.
What time?
7 o'clock at night.
You wouldn't believe this.
I was nearby lighting a firecracker.
Miss, would you like to buy a firecracker?
If you make a wish facing Vega,
and the firecracker explodes mid-air,
you'll never be alone again.
Really?
It's now 7 o'clock.
If you face Vega in the northeast,
it'll be very efficacious.
I'll give it a try!
Thank you!
I pray that I'll find Mr Right soon.
Snake...
Move aside!
Are you alright, officer?
Thank you, Miss!
You're wounded!
No wonder you're afraid of snakes.
You have been bitten before!
I had one foot in the grave already,
but luckily I managed to stay alive.
I wasn't quite lucky as you.
After I finished the job,
I thought no one could see me.
But suddenly a firecracker lit up the sky and I got exposed.
Godfather!
What are you doing on the roof?
Stay where you are!
Let's split up! Yes!
Wait...above the gold factory in the northeast?
No one would light fireworks over there.
I did!
If you didn't, the guard couldn't have seen me,
and we wouldn't have got into a fight.
He'd have been alive today.
But if you hadn't killed him, you wouldn't have gone to jail.
If I hadn't gone to jail,
Old Ghost wouldn't have recruited me.
If you hadn't joined the Bureau, we couldn't have met.
Our affinity actually began 2 years ago.
It's just a coincidence!
Murder is bad karma. Meeting you is good karma.
They are entirely different.
Do you have to show up tomorrow?
Will you many me?
See? It's like trying to borrow a comb from a monk.
You must get past me before I'll let you take on the duel.
By force?
I'm not that stupid!
I have laced your cup of wine.
I'm sorry. You'll have to get some rest.
I knew what you're up to!
I took the antidote way ahead of time.
Let me do the fighting for you.
Come out, Chor Chat-kim!
You must kill me first if you want to kill Ngau Tai-lik!
Chuen-kung?
Chuen-kung, what are you doing here?
Like you, I was trying to stop Chor Chat-kim.
But he's a true expert.
Cheung-sing and I couldn't fight him off.
He sent my sword ﬂying within 10 moves,
and wounded the web of my hand.
Is he that good?
Completely beyond my expectations!
You came alone? Where's Tai-lik?
I wouldn't let him get himself killed.
Where's Chor Chat-kim?
He said Tai-lik is a coward.
When we refused to tell him where Tai-lik was,
he said he'd turn Bianjing upside down to find Tai-lik
and then he left.
Tai-lik will be dead if he finds him.
Don't worry. Cheung-sing has gone to warn Tai-lik.
If Tai-lik was willing to hide, we wouldn't have such a headache.
Yeung Mau, I'm injured. Can you help me?
You'll manage. I must save Tai-lik!
(Chat Sheung Kei)
Yeung Mau is quite something!
She wanted to stop the duel.
She knocked me out and tied me up!
She's only worried about you.
You're such a bunch of fools!
Mau is in love with Chuen-kung.
She doesn't care about me.
Shut up and get on the run!
Chor Chat-kim is looking for you.
If he finds you, he'll chop you to pieces.
I don't believe you!
Chuen-kung and I went to the Quicksand River to try to dissuade him,
but as soon as he saw us...
You're kidding! He beat both of you?
Oh no! Mau can't possibly fight him!
Has that woman gone mad?
I'm a nobody. Why did she come forward?
Where is Chor Chat-kim?
He's looking for you!
Every debt has its collector! I am no coward!
What are you looking for?
Use a firecracker to fight Chor Chat-kim?
Hey! You'll get yourself killed!
Hey!
Step aside!
It's a sand storm. Go home!
Run! It's a sand storm!
Mau! Chor Chat-kim, come out!
Long time no see, Ngau Tai-lik!
Becoming a Field Officer at the Phecda Bureau
won't wash away your sin.
Having blood on my hands,
is a terrible way to live.
I've been waiting for you to end this.
Today is the anniversary of my godfather's death.
I can sacrifice your blood to him.
I waited 2 years for this day.
Go away! My personal vendetta has nothing to do with you.
No, you go away! Listen, Chor Chat-kim,
Ngau Tai-lik is mine.
His business is now my business.
What do you mean I'm yours?
Listen, we now have an intimate relationship
You're mine from now on!
Don't you dare deny it or I'll kill you.
Chor Chat-kim, if you want to kill Ngau Tai-lik,
you must first get past me!
Are you alright, officer?
Thank you, Miss!
You're wounded!
Thank you, Miss!
You're welcome! Go catch the thief!
Are you alright, Miss?
I'm fine!
Take care!
Are you the lady who saved me 2 years ago?
You don't recognise me?
Who are you?
I've kept this with me all the time.
I will never forget your benevolence.
You're the officer?
You knew each other?
I didn't know if you were still alive.
I've been looking for you ever since.
It's destiny staring me in the face!
Chor Chat-kim, I saved your life back then.
It's payback time. Let Ngau Tai-lik go.
No! This is a separate matter.
After I've killed him, I'll pay you back with my life.
