Who discovered the body?
I did
Chief, he's the butler of the Liao Family
Is this the master bedroom?
No, this is his study room
My master usually slept in his wife's room.
Where's his wife?
She left with the young master and young miss the day before to visit her parents.
So your master was all by himself...
...and study here last night?
Yes... hm... no
Beg your pardon?
Ainu was there too.
Hurry.
Coming...
Please...
Hurry up
Hurry
Hurry up
Alright...
Hurry up
Hurry
Hurry up
Is everything here?
Thanks to the luck of Master Chun, the trip went smoothly
Open the boxes, Yan Shunzi.
Let's go.
Move over.
Step aside...
Step aside.
Who are you people?
Why did you grab me here?
Wu Huatian.
Lady Chun, this girl's called Ainu.
Her father is a poor teacher.
We tracked her around for a few days before we kidnapped her.
Ainu, is it?
It's a good name.
Goodness, what a temper.
What kind of creepy place is this?
Let me go if you're sensible,
or I'll call the officials to arrest you all.
Men are gonna go crazy for this girl.
Come on. Get the girls settled.
Yes. Move.
Wu Huatian, come with me for your payment.
Yes
Please count it.
Oh, I trust you.
No mistake I suppose?
Four Seasons Spring Brothel's reputation is important.
Don't worry, no matter how lustful we seem,
I know that none of my staff would dare to touch your gals
As for myself...
You haven't changed a bit.
You still don't like men.
What a pity.
Have a seat...
Lady Chun.
You‘re so late?
Someone here, get us some wine.
Boss.
How's everything? So, finished your inspection?
Almost.
Boss.
What is it?
She‘s being violent, needs to be tied up.
She‘s a headstrong girl,
but she sure holds a class of her own.
You rotten girl!
So? Anything wrong?
Yes.
This one was deflowered three days ago.
Who did it?
I can't tell
He'll kill me if I tell.
Is that so?
How's now? Come on, speak out or suffer.
I won't tell! I can't tell!
I'll tell...
Zhou Hai.
Do you know her?
I've told you people before,
Lady Chun isn't one to be messed around with.
Er Pozi
Yes, madam?
Training starts tomorrow for this lot.
Er Pozi
Yes?
Add more alum to concentrate the water,
otherwise, the muscle would not contract.
Yes.
Add some more alum.
Where's that girl?
You‘re referring to Ainu?
I am not eating...
I'd rather starve to death!
I know this is hell.
You're all beasts!
Let me go!
I've told you that she can't be controlled.
Have you ever heard, even once, that I can't control my own people?
So, what do you think?
Such a nice room this is.
If you listen to me, you'll have the room and the maids.
Just imagine the comforts of living here.
At that time, Ainu,
all the wealthy officers, landlords...
...will be mesmerised by you.
You‘ll have countless jewellery,
endless wealth and glory.
Ainu, what else do you want?
I don't want anything.
So?
Is this what you want?
No...
Listen up.
Yes, madam.
Thrash her with the cane.
Yes, madam.
That's enough.
Yes.
You all go out.
Yes.
You've got silky smooth skin.
Why, Ainu?
Why don't you just listen to me?
Ainu, do you know?
You‘re really beautiful.
I... think I may have fallen for you.
I don't want to eat.
Brother mute, if you are kind enough,
please help me. Let me go.
Damn mute boy, get out of there.
This way please.
Good day, old master.
Haven't seen you for a while.
Old master, good day, old master
Old master.
How are you, old master.
Old master.
Careful there.
Give him a hand.
Old master is here.
Old master...
You‘re earlier than me.
Be seated please.
Lady Chun, acquired new birdies recently?
Quite extraordinary according to him.
Too bad there isn't enough to go around.
Same old rule applies.
The highest bidder will get to enjoy first.
Of course...
But this one, bidding price will start higher.
Start with five hundred.
Five hundred?
She must be a...
Let me go.
Bao Hu.
Yes.
Let's start the bidding, gentlemen.
One thousand five hundred.
You own all the rice in this county.
that's a low offer coming from you.
Yes...
My turn.
Three thousand.
That's quite an offer from the Chief of Guard.
I indeed forgot how much I put down.
Let me show you.
Five thousand.
Yes...
Well?
Have you given up, old master?
Who said so? I haven't made my bid yet.
You didn't write down an amount, old master?
Who said I didn't?
My son is the local governor.
I don't think I need to write a cheque.
I just open my mouth when spending.
So I… Five thousand one hundred.
Five thousand one hundred.
Never underestimate the elderly.
and old master is the winner.
You gentlemen will take your turns later.
- Adviser Wang. - Yes.
Withdraw the money from the reserve tomorrow.
Then take Ainu to Ever Spring Pavilion.
Yes, sir.
Let me go.
I said, let me go.
Feed this bowl of sedatives to her.
Alright...
Let me go...
Master.
Quick... get out of here...
What's going on?
Ainu...
She‘s awake...
Move away.
It isn't easy to take your own life here.
Listen up.
Yes.
Lock her up in the dark room.
Yes.
Brother mute.
Why did you save me?
I am going to die sooner or later.
No, you shouldn‘t kill yourself.
You can speak.
I didn't speak a word before...
...because I refused to.
I hate everyone.
Why?
I used to be a member of the bandit.
Later…
...I fell in love with a rich girl.
Her father found out about me...
...and he was against our marriage.
He set me up and separated us.
But I couldn't do anything.
Later, the girl killed herself...
...because her so- called respectable father...
...raped her.
So, can you understand why I've become cynical?
How come you're so good to me?
It's because...
...you bear a slight resemblance to that girl.
But, don't misunderstand.
I am not in love with you.
What I have is sympathy
For the way they treat you,
you shouldn't escape, shouldn't kill yourself.
We'll retaliate.
No girl has ever been able to escape...
...from Four Seasons Spring Brothel.
Go!
Yan Shunzi, you are no match for me.
Are you trying to get killed?
Brother Yan!
Still intend to move.
Brother Yan...
Brother Yan, you can't die, Brother Yan!
Miss Ainu.
You... you can't die.
If you die, who'll take revenge for me?
Brother Yan...
You don't need to take an revenge, you can die now.
Brother Yan!
Brother Yan, you can't die, please don't die!
Brother Yan, you can't die, Brother Yan!
Please don't die!
Brother Yan...
So what now?
I will kill you if you so desire
Or you'll listen to me if you wish to live on.
Alright, I'll do as you say.
Who found the body?
I did.
Chief, he's the butler of the Liao Family.
Is this the master bedroom?
No, this is his study room.
My Master usually slept in the lady's room.
Where... is the lady?
She left with the young master and young miss...
...to visit her parents the day before.
So your master was all by himself...
...and study last night?
Yes... hm... no.
Beg your pardon?
Ainu was there too.
Ainu?
There's someone here to see you, Miss.
Miss Ainu, Chief Ji, recently appointed,
would like to see you.
You all please go out.
Yes.
Chief Ji, for you to be here,
you're sure looking for enjoyment.
No, I am here on business.
Then must be something important.
I'd like to ask you,
were you at Liao's house last night?
Since when did the brothel...
...fall under your jurisdiction?
No, it isn‘t about the brothel.
It's because Liao was murdered last night.
His servants said that...
...you were the last person to see him.
Are you inferring that... I killed him?
No, I dare not.
But according to his servants,
you left around midnight.
And based on the accumulation of snow,
his time of death was around midnight too.
Then, did he die before I left...
...or was it afterwards?
That...
It's so simple.
If you can prove that he died before I left,
then I must be the murderer,
you may arrest me right now.
If you have got no proof,
then let me tell you,
he was still alive when I left.
He must've died after I was gone.
How could you prove that...
...he was still alive when you left?
Then how can you prove that...
...he died while I was still there?
Chief Ji, I guess you are new in town
Liao Guoqiang was a miser,
an alcoholic and a sex- addict.
He ought to have been dead ages ago.
Why do you care for his death?
Alright Chief Ji, anything else?
If not, please leave as I am a bit tired,
I'd like to rest now.
Goodbye.
Chief, you're leaving?
Did you see that?
Ainu killed Liao last night...
...and the officers are here.
What?
Lady Chun, you shouldn't spoil Ainu...
...and you even taught her kungfu.
I think our business of ten years...
...will be jeopardized by her one day.
Don't you forget,
you kidnapped a young girl ten years ago,
and you were attacked from all sides,
you had nowhere to go.
Had it not been for me...
...to save your life,
do you think you'd be here now?
For the last ten years, I left the martial arts world behind,
and opened up this brothel for you.
This is such a disgraceful business for me,
aren't you satisfied?
You were willing to help.
That's because I love you, Lady Chun.
Too bad! But I am not interested in men.
Love is strange indeed.
You love me, but I like Ainu.
But Ainu killed someone.
This time was Liao Guoqiang,
Zhuo Wenjian, Li Zhangan will be next.
Then it will be you... and me.
Why?
You...
I am just testing your skills,
and make sure if I'm still in control.
It's because Bao Hu is worried that...
...you will kill us one day.
Why did you kill Liao Guoqiang?
For no particular reason.
I think I'm becoming like you, hating men,
that's why I seek revenge.
This could mean that I'll love you more,
and I don't yearn for the affection of men.
Then... were you excited...
...when you first had a taste of blood?
Very much so.
But it‘s similar to the snow outside,
totally tasteless.
Ainu,
do you intend to kill me in the future?
Of course not.
With you, it's like we're one in being.
If you die, how can I live alone?
Ainu.
One frog jumped over the pond...
Two frogs jumped over, jumped over...
I drink...
Li, what's going on?
One frog jumped over the pond...
Two frogs jumped over...
If you do suspect Ainu,
how about we arrest her, ok?
Alright, I'll go.
No... I'll go...
Enough nonsense.
The chief must work in his own way.
But then,
Ainu has strong patronage, we can't touch her.
Do you know her history?
Whores have no history.
They're either forced or have volunteered.
It's the same story.
But the word is she's quite outstanding.
That's true.
Especially in bed.
Have you tried it?
I can't afford to.
Ainu serves the rich and the famous.
I am just a small fry.
Besides...
Ainu herself selects her clients, and won't let men select her.
No matter how rich you are, she doesn't give a damn.
What kind of clients does she prefer?
As I just mentioned,
apart from the dead Liao,
Master Zhuo and Master Wei.
Mr. Zhou, Miss Ainu is here.
Miss Ainu, you are here.
This way please.
You can wait for me outside.
Yes.
Please.
This way please.
Master, Miss Ainu is here.
Come...
Please.
Do come in.
Please.
Come in...
Go...
What are you doing...
Master Wei, we're here to save you.
Save me? Bullshit.
Someone here...
Are you alright?
Who might you be?
Ji De, Chief Police Officer.
What's the matter?
Go to hell.
What's going on, master?
Who is he?
He's Chief Police Officer.
He's asking for you outside earlier.
I am here to rescue you.
Rescue me?
Sorry I was late, and made master scared.
Get out! Get out of here...
Out! Now!
Right now, or I'll complain...
...to your supervisor tomorrow.
-Get out... - I...
Out!
Mr. Zhou, what's with your master?
He's a bit worn out from...
...his experimenting all these years.
He only gets turned on by bondage now.
That's what it's all about.
Now you should understand, chief.
Let me buy you a drink, come on.
Have a drink... Let's go...
Ainu, come on, hurry.
Ainu.
Come on.
What's with you?
Come on, I want you.
What do you want?
It's you I desire.
Wei Jianzhong…
Do you still remember the first time...
...you tied me up in bed?
From that day on I swore,
I will tie you up one day,
and kill you.
The time has come.
It's your turn now.
Chief, what is it?
I'm still worried.
You can't go in, Chief.
The lights are off.
See, you wouldn't really want to intrude.
Don't, you bad boy.
God! The master's still got it.
Ainu is moaning.
Just leave.
Come on, get going.
Wei Jianzhong, you never thought of this day, did you?
Miss Ainu, you're leaving?
You‘re still here, Chief Ji
You must be worried.
That's why you waited for me here, isn't it?
You better go check inside...
...or else you wouldn't know...
...if he's really dead.
Let's go.
What do you want, Chief Ji?
I want to go inside to check out your master.
He's asleep right now.
If you want to go in, I'm afraid...
Chief Ji, I think tonight...
...she wouldn't dare.
Oh, no... Fire!
Fire...
Fire... Put it out!
Ainu.
Chief...
Chief Ji, how can I help you?
You set the fire to kill Master Wei last night,
I am here to arrest you.
Set a fire? Any witnesses?
Sure wasn't any fire when I left.
But just after you left,
the whole house was in flames.
Then it must‘ve been someone else...
...who set the fire after I left.
I didn't see anyone going in.
Did you see me start the fire?
Even though you didn't leave a trace,
I'll have to arrest you today.
Chief Ji, not only you've no evidence...
...to prove that Ainu is the murderer.
Even if you've seen,
you should've done your homework.
Do you know who owns Four Seasons Spring Brothel?
If you really want to arrest Ainu,
you should ask the governor's dad first.
Who is it?
Excellent swordsmanship.
So it was you.
You‘ve visited me twice,
just returning the favour,
this is my turn.
Do you want to tell me who's the murderer?
No, on the contrary,
I am here to ask you to stay away.
Why?
Why not?
I'm backed by this.
Put down the sword.
Now you will stay away, won't you?
Tell me,
why do you try to stop me?
It's for your own sake.
Otherwise, you'll be sorry.
What if... I won't listen?
Fine, I'll tell you.
Zhuo Wenjian will be the next.
What? Nonsense.
You said Ainu wants to kill me?
That's rubbish.
Old master, she means it for real.
Can't... it can't be.
You‘ve got too much time on your hand.
You've nothing to do, and now want to interfere in my matter.
You... are you sick of being an officer?
No, I dare not.
But Mr. Liao and Mr. Wei, they all took turn and...
What's so strange about that?
We all have to die sometime.
You can't hold Ainu responsible.
However, if you don't see Ainu, you will be safer.
What? Master Zhuo, you don't want me anymore?
Ainu, honey.
Ainu, my baby, who said I don't want to see you?
I'd rather die than not seeing you.
My honey, baby.
Come over.
Yes.
What? Chief Ji, you want to join the fun?
Master Zhuo, indeed this game,
you two men can play together?
Who said I want him to join?
Get out!
Old master…
Get out! Get out now!
Yes.
None of your business here. Get out...
Helper Dog, go bring the girls in.
Yes...
Come... hurry in.
What are these three doing here?
You always say you wanna try new stuff,
lemme give you the four winds today.
The four winds?
Yes, it's the brothel's special.
You... why aren't you taking your clothes off?
Me! I am the north wind.
If you want me, then need to see your capability.
Hurry... get me the wine... hurry...
How is it, Master Zhuo?
Perhaps it's time for you to rest.
Who said so? I am only on the west wind.
What happened...
- Knock it down - Yes...
What's going on...
Don't move.
- Someone here. - Yes.
Get the governor.
Yes.
Master...
Father.
You can't run this time.
- Cuffs. - Here.
Wait.
Chief Ji, let Miss Ainu go.
She‘s the murderer, sir.
I said, let Miss Ainu go right now.
Didn't your hear me?
Yes.
Allow me to take you home, Miss Ainu.
And I apologize for this incident.
Chief Ji, about what happened here,
you can't let anyone know.
Why not?
It's because the old master...
...died of an aphrodisiac overdose.
The governor's reputation is at stake,
so you had better not tell anyone.
All men are the same.
They all lust after us.
I have watched them die one after another.
I am ecstatic with joy.
Liao Guoqiang, Wei Jiangzhong, Zhuo Wenjian...
...and one more.
Li Zhangan.
Heard he's returned from his escort job.
What? They all died?
Yes.
I heard you four spent a lot of time together,
that's why I come to warn you...
...to beware of Ainu.
Ainu can kill them because they all weren‘t versed in Kung Fu.
But I'll be a tough nut to crack.
You there.
Yes.
Bring Ainu here tonight.
Yes.
Master Li, Miss Ainu's here.
There you are.
They...
They will kill you...
...before you try to kill me.
If you really want to kill me,
I think you can do it all by yourself.
You all get out.
Move it.
Why did you kill the other three?
So that I can save my love just for you.
Men never learn to appreciate anything.
If I want to kill you,
where's the weapon?
Come on, search me.
Come on.
Go ahead.
I asked you to search if I've a weapon,
I am not asking you to hug me.
Well, you wanna sleep with me...
...one last time before you kill me?
What's the hurry?
Let me strip first.
You'll see if I've a weapon,
then you can sleep with me.
Is Ainu here?
Yes, she's inside.
What's the matter?
I want to go inside.
This is a special door made by my master.
It can only be opened from inside,
not from the outside.
You deserve to die, horny bastard.
You knew I am here to kill you,
but you still lust after me.
You...
Somebody, help...
Knock it down.
You deserve this.
Never could you have thought that,
this very special room you built...
...to abuse and ravage women,
would be the place of your death.
Do you remember...
...the first time in here...
...when you whipped me?
Is there no way in, except for this door?
It's just this door, no other way.
knock it, come on.
Make way you guys, let's me try.
Come on.
He's already dead.
Chief Ji, you're a good officer,
but you've caught the wrong person.
After her!
Attack!
Hold it!
Chief Ji, two years back,
I was like them...
...and got kidnapped from other places.
They sold me to Lady Chun.
It was a living hell.
I was coerced into prostitution.
I killed a few men.
I killed them...
...only for revenge.
If you're looking for the real culprits,
arrest them.
Bitch!
Lady Chun... we've got a problem.
What is it?
Big trouble! Ainu plotted against us.
They got intercepted at the gate.
What happened to Ainu?
She turned out smart, and fled.
I thought she must've been hurt.
Didn't I tell you earlier?
The brothel will be ruined by Ainu.
Where're you going?
I am going to kill her.
If the brothel is finished,
we could start a new one at a different place.
However, I can't live without Ainu.
You... you're totally blinded by lust.
Ainu did this for revenge, why could you not wake up?
She may hurt you but she'll never hurt me.
Because she and I, we're one.
- Attack! - Go!
Will you fight against us for her?
I am not sure.
But I can tell you,
no one can harm Ainu when I'm here.
Attack!
This is scary.
Here's the key, release the girls from the backyard.
What to do...
Go... hurry go...
Hurry... get up... hurry.
Hurry... hurry run... hurry run away...
Hurry... hurry go...
Hurry go... get away.
Hurry... hurry go... leave fast...
Mr. Bao!
What is it?
Big trouble! Ainu set the girls free,
all of them!
Didn't you hear?
I've said it before,
no one can harm Ainu when I'm here.
Can't you see that...
...this is Ainu's revenge?
Do you believe that?
No way, she and I are the same person.
Lady Chun,
I think we need to settle this once and for all.
You want to die now? Seems a bit too early.
Your yinyang ghost hands aren't not much...
...stronger than my spine-chilling sword.
Why, Bao Hu?
Even you give up your life,
we will still be together.
I am not really sure.
The likes of you don't deserve my love,
but it's too late for me.
Ainu, you wouldn't stop loving me...
...because I am handicapped now, right?
No, I won't change...
...because I've never loved you.
Looks like this is it,
today is the time for revenge.
At first, I wanted to use hate for vengeance,
but I failed.
Later on, I hit on a better plan instead,
no one else would've used it before,
I used love to take my revenge.
I killed Liao Guoqiang, Wei Jianzhong,
Li Zhangan, Zhuo Wenjian, by love.
To bring the Four Seasons Spring Brothel down,
I used love to come between you and Bao Hu.
Never could I imagine the damage love could inflict.
You...
Didn't expect you to be more vicious than me.
Don’t scold me.
We are both despicable,
heartless, merciless, cruel and sick.
Now perhaps you'd have a glimpse of...
...how repulsive you are.
You don't need to do this.
I am dying anyway.
I guess this is karma.
Even though you've killed me,
yet I don't... I don't hate you a bit.
Ainu,
I... I love you.
Could you kiss me once more...
...before I die?
It's... it's my last request.
Have pity, have pity on me please.
Thank you, Ainu.
Thank you for dying with me.
I had a poisonous pill in my mouth.
I was chewing it...
...when you kissed me.
You aren't like me.
You‘ve still got your conscience,
and a little love.
Ainu!
Ainu
I am too late, Ainu.
Ai...
