Suppose what Mo Shun said was true,
then Fung Nam-tin is a Jin mole.
I can't leave them behind and let them die!
I understand.
You want Chu Cheung-sing dead?
No, I want him to be a living dead.
I won't love you even in my next life.
Then drop dead!
In this life, I have Tao Fa. Tao Fa has me.
I have no regret.
What about you?
You don't know anything about love.
You are selfish and care not for kinship.
You can be ruthless even to your own sister
You are not human at all.
Let me ask you one more time,
where is Tao Fa?
If you won't tell, I'll kill you.
Fine with me. Kill me yourself,
or report me to the Phecda Bureau or the magistracy.
Chu Cheung-sing, you are a cool detective, you'll figure out the best way.
But don't you forget, I have Tao Fa.
How would you like her killed?
Bleed to death? Or to be chopped up?
Chu Cheung-sing, who are you to be so cocky?
Let her go, alright?
When you beg, you grovel.
Yan Mei-leung, I beg you, let Tao Fa go, please.
Look at you, you grovel like a dog.
What do you want me to do?
Simple. Get me a man from Cangzhou Prison.
Who?
I told you Big Brother Miu took me under his wing after my father's death.
He groomed me into a ruthless person.
His full name is Miu Chung.
I am an impatient person.
Take Miu Chung to me in the cypress wood in three days,
or you can prepare Tao Fa's funeral.
Yan Mei-leung, honour your word,
or I'll chop you into pieces.
Only if you can get it done.
I wonder how capable you really are.
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
I don't see her as a woman.
She's a cow, a slut, a monster!
She's a beast in human clothing.
Getting involved with her means certain demise.
Hey, you've talked too much. Shut up.
Things have not been working well for the Bureau.
The wrong star must be in place,
so everyone has either turned dumb or blind.
None has been attentive.
Calm down... I am calm.
I mean myself.
None of you are calm.
Tao Fa may die, how can I stay calm?
I am calm.
The three day deadline will soon be here. We have no time to lose.
Sit down.
Let our brainstorming begin.
Miu Chung is being locked up in Cangzhou Prison.
Anyone familiar with that?
I've heard about it.
It's located in a remote place.
It is surrounded by woods on three sides.
It can only be accessed by a ten mile path along a cliff.
So the place is virtually impenetrable.
Trespassers will be shot by raining arrows.
They will meet certain death.
Those held there are felons. Few can come out alive.
In my law-breaking days,
What I dreaded most was this Cangzhou Prison.
It's said the custodian is cruel in nature.
He has outrageous ways to torture prisoners
He has killed more than 700 in two years.
Miu Chung has been there for six years.
Hold it!
Miu Chung is loaded.
It's easy if he wants to get out.
He can bribe his way out.
Why should he stay inside?
It's simple. He has made many enemies.
Too many want him dead.
But those that tried to sneak in to kill him all ended up dead.
Even if it means my death, I have to go.
You three have nothing to do with it.
I am going alone.
We have nothing to do with it?
We are the Four Dragons of Bianjing.
We are four as one.
What concerns you concerns us.
Cut it out.
We'll go through thick and thin together.
Cheung-sing, we have no one to turn to.
We have our backs against the wall.
From this moment on,
we four are accomplices.
But...
It's not up to you. We'll call the shots.
I know prisons well. Let me sneak in with you.
It is so decided.
Buddies, thank you.
Save it.
I am the expert on prisons here.
I know every prison, what inmates they hold and exactly how each place is laid out..
Let's figure out a prison break tonight.
Good!
(Gold Authentication Shop)
What are you doing here?
Robbery!
Robbery...help...
Be quiet!
Robbery...
Put all the gold inside.
You three go out crying robbery. Yell hard!
Robbery...
Still no constables?
You come out.
Cry out loud.
Robbery...
Constables...
Put your weapons down...
Cangzhou Prison
We'll split up.
Tai-lik and I will go in to get the man.
Yeung Mau, you be our help outside.
Yes.
Chuen-kung, I am sure even if we can get Miu Chung,
that wicked woman won't let Tao Fa go so easily.
I understand.
I have to find Tao Fa in three days.
Besides Yan Mei-leung, we also have Fung Name-tin to worry about.
Right. We have enemies everywhere.
I don't believe he's innocent.
He distrusts us now.
He's a cunning man. He won't let us off.
We can only play by ear.
Tai-lik, look over there.
He's dying. They are taking him to the mass grave.
But he's not dead yet.
It's the prison norm.
With minor ailments, you are on your own.
If you are gravely ill, there's no point in treating you.
You are better off dead than ill.
The best way is to dump you into the mass grave.
How outrageous!
Whatever. Go with the ﬂow.
If we don't want to stand out, blend in.
I know. You said we shouldn't see ourselves as human.
We are worse than beasts.
The first treatment here is a washing down.
Halt.
That helps make clear whether you have prohibited items.
It's a concoction of chili, pepper and garlic for delousing.
If you want to have VIP treatment,
you need a head to toe policy.
It means bribing everyone from top to bottom.
Another thing is, newcomers are given 100 strokes to put them in place.
Don't worry, our policies will spare us the treatment.
You can choose the open-ended policy, that is, bribing those at the top only.
Another option is piecemeal policy.
You bribe them on a case to case basis.
If you can pay, you are spared the ordeal.
At the end of the day, you are left to your fate.
Hey, this is pig feed. It's not edible.
Don't worry, our policies get us decent fare
Watch.
Got it.
Drumstick with rice.
Got it too.
Delicious drumstick with rice.
Come on.
Hold it.
What? You want it back?
No. Yam and pak choi for side dish. Want it?
It's a sin to waste food.
Guys, we are new here.
Within the four seas, we are all brothers.
Cut us some slack.
We know what courtesy call means.
How's your big brother, Big Brother Miu doing?
Take it easy, we just want to befriends.
Don't blow our cover.
No martial arts, just street fight?
Alright.
How pathetic. You had not been in a street fight before?
One against a hundred. No adept can survive that.
What? You two are still alive?
You are Miu Chung?
Yes. That's me.
We are here to see you.
I can tell. You are no ordinary people.
Which side sent you this time?
Yan Mei-leung wants you out.
Wants me out or wants me dead?
Thanks to that hussy,
since I have been here, contracts on me keep coming.
If I step out of this place,
I am good as dead
Last year, two clueless men came here to get me out.
They ended up neither here in prison, nor could they get out.
You want to get me out? Save it.
Better go home for some sleep.
Miu Chung, I can read fortune.
You want some tips from me?
I see a shade between your eyebrows.
It means bloodshed is imminent for you.
In 16 hours, you'll come beg us to get you out.
I heard you. 16 hours?
I grew up under threats.
You should worry about yourselves.
He's just bluffing.
He's actually a coward.
He'd rather hide in the prison than go out.
That works to our advantage.
If he's fearless, our plan can’t work.
It seems the plan is going smoothly.
I wonder if Chuen-kung has made progress.
We found the body of the carriage driver a couple of days ago.
Choi, you are a man in black.
You attack me from there. Yes.
Brother Tat, please stand aside.
The man in black stopped the carriage here.
He killed the driver instantly.
When he meant to barge in,
Fa should have jumped out from here.
The man in black ran after her.
It should be in this direction.
Fa knows no martial arts,
She couldn't have got away.
But why was she assaulted here?
It means she's kept somewhere nearby.
Don't worry, Sun Section people are of one mind.
Fa is in trouble, we'll pull all the stops.
Good buddy, let's split up and look for her
There are some deserted farm houses and a temple on that side.
You check out the farm houses, I'll take the temple.
Good.
Let me go...
Bury her. Yes.
It seems luck is on our side today.
I knew you would come.
But it's too late.
Tao Fa is no longer around.
Don't worry, the best is yet to come.
I won't let her die so easily.
I want her to die a slow death.
I want Chu Cheung-sing to find her body.
What have you done to her?
I just had her buried.
There's still some air in the box for her.
Guess how long she can survive?
Two hours? Four hours?
The three day deadline is not up.
How can you go back on your word?
The gangland is treacherous. No one keeps their words.
Tao Fa is not some unrelated person.
She's your twin sister.
You are bonded by blood.
You can live with ease if something happens to her?
You have no regard for kinship?
I don't know what kinship is.
Humans are animals. We kill one another.
I know no humanity.
I have been struggling to survive like a beast.
Who has ever pitied me?
But you are a human after all. You still have feelings.
You didn't have the heart to seek abortion.
You are still carrying Cheung-sing's child.
The baby is mine.
Whether I want to keep it or not is my business alone.
Not even heaven can stop me.
Not even heaven can keep it for you.
You really think you are some genius?
You can make a diagnosis by a mere glance?
I am not talking about diagnosis. I am talking about karma.
What karma?
Once there's a landlord,
in order to ensure prosperity for his descendants,
he wanted to be buried in a dragon site, which was a snake den.
He had all the snakes burnt to death.
He's buried in the site after his death.
However, instead of becoming rich,
all his descendants died in a plague.
This is karma.
No good deeds ever go unpunished.
Your present life results from what you did in your previous life.
To see what your next life will be like,
look at what you're doing in this one. That your sin will take its toll
on your descendants,
that they will not be blessed, it's a lie to fool people.
What goes around, comes around.
If you harm Tao Fa, you will be condemned to hell.
I don't believe in hell or ghosts.
Nothing can cower me.
If you kill Tao Fa,
you're not afraid your parents' spirits will come after you?
They brought me to this world to suffer.
I dare them to come to me. I can settle the scores with them.
If you cause Tao Fa's death,
you mother and child can’t live either.
If you make Tao Fa suffer,
you mother and child will suffer the same fate.
Repent, and be saved.
I am here to help you with your plight.
If you still have some conscience,
if you want your baby to come to the world safe and sound,
tell me where Tao Fa is.
Save your own skin. Don't meddle with other people's business.
When you kill, you go for broke.
When you save, you go all the way.
In order to save Fa, I have to do it.
Ma Chuen-kung.
Pak-nin, not a moment too soon.
Yan Mei-leung has kidnapped Tao Fa.
Surrender yourself!
What have I done?
You killed Mo!
Mo's dead?
You are doing Fung Nam-tin's bidding?
What did you do two days ago?
What can you get out of this?
You are in collusion with Yan Mei-leung?
Mo knew your secret and so you had to kill her?
Don't you frame me.
Why should I kill Mo?
I am not framing you.
The evidence is against you. Don't you deny it.
When I found Mo, your dagger was stuck in her body,
and she was bleeding profusely.
She was shaking and just before she died she said you did it to her!
You have nowhere to go now. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I understand. You only live once.
I wont let feelings get in my way. I won't fret anymore.
Pak-nin, I've told you before. Pull all the stops every time.
Don't be caught in the limbo.
Go for broke and make it big.
It means you have to be ruthless.
Chuen-kung and the others almost made it,
but failed when they let feelings get in their way.
They mean to take on you.
They don't know what they are up against.
Jin will not forget you afterwards.
Thank you, Your Honour, I'll not fail you.
But Ma Chuen-kung has a special bond with Sire.
I can throw him into prison, but it won't be for long.
I know what to do.
Song will soon be turned upside down.
Chiu Yuk-hei can't save his own skin.
The handful of them want to turn the tide? No way.
Don't worry, I've had the Sun Section watched.
Every piece is in place.
When will Jin take action?
You don't have to know.
Just do as I say.
Yes, Your Honour.
Sweetie, it's alright now.
Father is here to get you.
Miss, are you alright?
The physician is coming.
It hurts...
Sit down first.
The physician is here.
Please, see how she is doing.
Sure...
Be honest with me.
The fetus's pulse and circulation are both weak.
It's barely hanging in there.
I am worried it'll die and your life is in danger too.
It's not possible! I can feel its pulse and heartbeat.
It hears me and it gives me response.
We are bonded by blood. Nothing can happen to it.
I took abortion decoction and it survived that.
It means it's as tough as I am.
It's because of the decoction that the fetus...
I don't care! Whatever it takes, I have to keep my baby.
Nothing can be done now.
I suggest you abort it, the sooner the better.
Miss, your life comes first.
You all are wicked. Get lost!
Sweetie...
Father...
I have failed you...
I have to go...get your sister out...
Get her out...get her out...
Father...
Father, were you here?
There's me already. Why need her?
Your present life results from what you did in your previous life.
To see what your next life will be like,
look at what you are doing in this one.
It hurts...
Your sin will take its toll on your descendants.
They will not be blessed.
Sweetie, don't worry, you have me...
What goes around, comes around.
If you harm Tao Fa, you mother and child will die too.
Repent and you shall be saved.
What karma, what life and death? I don't give a darn.
Whoever wronged me has to die.
Sweetie, whatever it takes,
I'll give birth to you.
I'll give birth to you,
I will...
Cangzhou Prison
In six hours the deadline will be up.
It takes two hours to go from here to the cypress wood.
Hey, what are you doing?
I can bear with anything but not this.
Don't you hold it.
Just do it.
It's you who said, the bucket is all purpose.
It's for bathing as well.
You said it, we are out of here in two hours.
What if...
Just in case.
If you are so worried, just hold it.
Don't worry, I know prison operation more than anyone else.
Hush...1, 2, 3...you've got mail.
You've got mail.
See?
What happened?
How come there's a ﬂood of letters?
What? Why this idling around? Don't want to live?
As usual, no breast, no skin, no oil, no soya sauce.
Is this a revolt?
Don't you run...
It's a revolt...
Don't let him go...kill him...get him...kill
It's so corrupted here.
Though Sire has fought corruption hard,
the arm of the law doesn't reach here.
The law is far away, so no one cares about it here.
But this is to our advantage.
If you have money here, you can call a ghost back to life,
not to say taking a life. Right?
Here he is.
Big Brother Miu, if you don't want to die, come on over.
Come in...
What nerve! I dare you not to come out.
Let's see how long you can hide here.
We'll wait for him outside.
I really don't want to die.
So my prophecy has come true.
You did have a physical injury within 16 hours.
It must be your doing.
Money makes the world go around.
We just paid the prisoners' families.
Then they wrote and got them to kill you.
I have money. However much you paid them,
I'll pay them double.
You mean your money in Sui Shu Bank?
Sorry, it's all withdrawn.
You are now dirt broke.
You...
You know it very well, no money means death here.
I know you just want to get me out of here.
But once I leave here, I am as good as dead.
Don't worry, stick by our side, you may still stand a chance.
This is the Cangzhou Prison.
No one has ever left this place alive.
Don't you worry. Let me tell you,
I am Ngau Tai-lik, Hung Hung the Thief.
I can just get you anywhere.
We could come in, so we can go out.
One each. Take it.
Come on.
What is this? Poison?
Just eat it. If we wanted to kill you, why bother getting you out of here?
Good.
You will soon feel dizzy and nauseating.
You'll feel itchy all over and then lose consciousness.
Don't worry, you are not dead.
Then we'll be taken out without us lifting a finger.
Nothing happens?
It's a drug. Do be patient.
It'll soon kick in.
Since we have to wait for it to take effect,
let's talk.
Big Brother Miu, what have you done to Yan Mei-leung? She wants you dead!
She is biting the hand that fed her.
I raised her up, or she would have been a prostitute in some brothel.
It's fair that she had to do my bidding.
What now?
It's itchy...
Chuen-kung's drug works. It begins to take effect.
Right...it's itchy...
Hey, scratch my back...
Who will scratch mine?
Ask Big Brother Miu.
Big Brother Miu, scratch his back for him...
Physician, this way... This way
Physician, what happened to them?
They were alive and well this morning.
Now they are foaming at the mouth.
Is it a plague?
It's serious indeed.
Circulation is poor here. It'll spread fast
Then we must deal with it quickly.
Your Honour, they are not dead yet.
It's infectious. Do you want them dead or do you want to die yourself?
Take them to the mass grave.
Cover them with sulfur powder.
Yes, Sir.
We've come to.
Chuen-kung is amazing.
Four hours and the rash really is gone.
Thank you for seeing us out.
How come?
Sorry.
He'll be unconscious for two hours.
Thank you.
Bravo.
I have a carriage ready.
We can get to the cypress wood in two hours
Come on.
Actually our Phecda pay isn't much.
There are so many prisoners.
Where did you get the money to buy them off?
Tai-lik has money.
He had an account in Sui Shu Bank. And there's Miu Chong's money.
It's good enough for the prisoners' families
As for buying the wardens, the money came from Chat Sheung Kei.
You sold Chat Sheung Kei?
Then what are you going to live on?
Heaven will provide.
And it's ill-gotten money.
Moreover, when men have money, they'll get horny.
I'd rather he has to worry about money.
You gave away your fortune for me. I really am sorry.
We two can survive on love alone, like you and Fa.
Thank you.
Don't worry, Fa will be alright.
Yan Mei-leung, the person you want is here.
Where is she?
That witch is play a trick again.
Yan Mei-leung, Miu Chung is here.
Where's Tao Fa?
Big Brother Miu, it has been some time.
I am an ingrate indeed.
All these years, what I cared about was how I could kill you.
It's you...you turned me into a cold-blooded person.
Take it easy, I don't want you dead.
Witch, we took him here.
Hand Tao Fa over, or you'll be dead.
You still don't get it?
Miu Chung's long written off.
I just wanted to put you into danger.
Now you are fugitives and you've staged a prison break.
You can't clear yourselves.
I knew you wouldn't be so easygoing.
Slut, where's Tao Fa?
You mean to go back on your word?
You have killed her?
It's a setup from the start?
Say it, where is Tao Fa?
I had her buried alive,
but then I had her taken out in the end.
But someone has taken her away. I don't know where she is.
You are lying.
What I said is true, believe it or not.
Don't think I won't hit a woman.
I'll skin you and feed you to the dogs.
Yan Mei-leung, what do you want?
You did all these because of me.
You can kill me, bleed me or chop me up, whatever you like.
So long as Tao Fa is fine, I won't regret it.
Say it, where is she?
So she is invaluable to you, while I am worse than dirt.
I still can’t beat you.
Chu Cheung-sing, you are being surrounded.
It's your setup. You are in collusion.
Let Yan Mei-leung go and surrender yourselves.
Hand Tao Fa over and you can do whatever you like with me.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Tao Fa is probably nearby.
Let go of me. Go save her.
Chu Cheung-sing, I won't let her die so easily.
I want you two to live in hell.
I want to torture you two so hard that you want to die.
Cheung-sing, this may be a trap.
She can't be trusted.
If you won't go save her, she'll die.
Be it hell or the deep blue sea, I have to go.
Charge.
Pak-nin, let him save Tao Fa first.
For the sake that we were once colleagues.
I feel ashamed because of you.
You broke the law willingly.
You robbed a bank, staged a prison break and are now fugitives.
I have to do it by the book.
You will be brought to justice.
Honey...honey...
Hubby...
I am here...Honey...you have to be alright.
Hubby, where are you?
Honey, I can hear you.
Keep calling me...I will find you.
I'll wait for you here.
Keep calling me,
I am looking for you, Honey.
Don't you worry, I am blessed. I'll be fine
Honey...
You hear me?
Honey, keep calling.
It's getting closer.
I won't die so easily.
I have to keep an eye on you. No womanising for you.
Honey...
Where are you now? I am hungry.
Honey...
Hubby...
Chuen-kung, Tao Fa is shot...Chuen-kung...
Chuen-kung is not here.
Tao Fa, don't worry,
Chuen-kung can treat any injuries, any diseases.
He can revive the dead.
You will be fine, Tao Fa.
Tao Fa, don't die.
I promise you, if you won't die,
I'll go back to our hometown with you.
I won't care about other happenings.
I won't care about them at all.
Tao Fa, don't die...Tao Fa...
Tao Fa...
Yan Mei-leung, a life for a life.
