Winter Begonia
Episode 26
Mr. Li.
What on earth will you do?
Commander Cao.
I just wonder
about your health condition.
I know some famous doctors in Nanking.
They can...
Don’t beat around the bush.
Come to the point.
I’ll say it straightly.
I think you are old and weak.
You can’t control the army.
Why don’t you hand over your military power?
I promise you’ll be a high-ranking official.
You think?
Who do you think you are?
Cao Wanjun.
I am good enough to you
since I don’t dismiss you.
Don’t you know what you did?
I don’t know.
Commissioner Liu has known
what you asked Cheng Fengtai to do.
Colluding bandits secretly.
How will others
see us soldiers if they know?
How angry will Mr. Jiang be
if he knows?
Prat.
How come you hurt me with others?
In my heart,
the country is more important than the family.
So our relationship means nothing.
You are not young,
so you can’t fight the battle at the front
physically and mentally.
Don’t forget.
Your surname is Cao.
You are my son.
We both are from Family Cao,
and we both control Cao’s army.
I am young.
Don’t you think I’m the right one to take over your army?
I can kill you now!
Father kills son.
The son can’t complain.
But I am your only son.
You decide
my fate.
Do you think I daren’t?
Mr. Cao.
Keep the goodies within the family.
Cao Guixiu is your son.
OK.
You are my son.
How
cruel you are.
I have nothing to say.
Commander Cao,
you did a lot for this country.
It’s time to have a rest.
I’ll wait for you in Nanking.
See you in Nanking.
Commander Cao.
Take Cao’s army
and leave Peking.
Follow my order.
Yes.
You drank a lot.
When we were at table,
your eyes were fixed on Chang Zhixin
and kept drinking.
When will you move on?
Tell me.
I’ll show Commander Cao out.
Go back to eat something.
Don’t make a mess.
I know.
He fixed his eyes on me.
Without Cheng Fengtai,
he would kick the table over.
That’s too exaggerating.
I don’t think he would.
Commander Cao and
Commissioner Liu are here.
How dare he?
Mr. Shang is not that kind of person.
You are wrong.
Cheng Fengtai is a good man.
But I don’t understand.
Why he makes friends
with Shang Xirui.
Does Shang Xirui deserve?
He’s only good at performing opera.
He’s notorious when it comes to other things.
With a bad temper,
he will make troubles
in the future.
Cheng Fengtai
will be involved in his matter.
I tell you.
Tell your sister-in-law
not to bring troubles to himself.
OK.
Zhixin.
Mr. Shang.
Zhixin.
We just had a casual talk.
Don’t be serious.
Mr. Shang.
You took Jiang Mengping away several years ago.
Now, you make mischief between Cheng Fengtai and me.
No, no, no.
We are drunk.
I’m not making mischief.
What I said is the truth.
I’m not afraid that you know.
Mr. Shang. Mr. Shang. No.
Stop.
Who dares hit our leader?
Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang, please stop.
Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang.
Mr. Shang.
-Stop. -Stop.
You can’t hit him.
Mr. Shang.
Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang. Please stop.
Please be sober.
Don’t go.
I’m sorry, everybody.
Mr. Shang is drunk.
Chang Zhixin, I’ll kill you.
Go.
OK, OK, have a seat.
Sit.
Zhixin. Zhixin.
Zhixin.
Alright, have a seat.
Be seated.
Just continue.
Enjoy your dinner.
Zhixin, Zhixin. Are you all right?
Zhixin.
Mr. Ge. Open the door.
Sweet potatoes with chestnut floor.
What happened?
Get in. Get in.
Tomatoes on stick.
Tomatoes on sticks.
How dare you kick me?
So what?
Could you stop being crazy?
Let’s have a talk.
I’ll kill you.
Kill this jerk.
Mr. Shang.
What... What Chang Zhixin
did to you?
It’s been many years.
Can you move on?
Cheng Fengtai, I am your friend.
But you stopped me beating him.
I’ll beat you!
Go away!
Ge. Go to Shuiyun Theater.
Stop.
Mr. Cheng.
Move.
Shang Xirui.
Come out.
Let’s have a fight.
Come on. You’ll be defeated.
-Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng. -Dog. Dog. Dog.
Two kids.
-What’s the matter? -Mr. Cheng. Dog.
Mr. Cheng.
Dog.
Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng.
Hurry. Hurry.
Have a look.
Leader.
Mr. Cheng. What happened to our leader?
-Leader. Leader. -Mr. Cheng.
No, it...
Leader. Leader.
What happened?
Mr. Shang. Please stop.
I’ll die if you continue.
What are you shouting for? Did I hit you?
Didn’t you?
What’s the teeth print?
From a dog.
God.
It’s black and blue.
Here. Here. It’s blue.
I wasn’t serious.
If I am,
killing you
is a piece of cake.
Chang Zhixin is my enemy.
Don’t be close to him.
You didn’t even see Mengping.
How come you got crazy?
You can’t move on what happened
on Pingyang for your life?
That’s not the reason.
So what’s that?
Cut your crap. Come.
Why? I don’t.
Come!
No.
[Miracle Vulnerary]
Have a try.
A miracle vulnerary of Shuiyun.
[Cheng Mansion]
Stand straightly.
You become taller.
Xiang’er.
You are here?
Chacha’er has grown up.
So you can’t
always stay with me.
I’ll play with my nephew.
Xiang’er. Bye.
It’s a good choice to send her to school.
It’s beneficial for kids to grow up
if they go out.
How was your feast last night?
Did everything go well?
Very well.
After hearing
Shuiyun Theater’s opera,
Liu Hanyun was very happy.
He shook hands with Commander Cao.
He didn’t even want to loose hands.
They were so close.
Really?
What did they play?
Like
White Snake.
Liu Hanyun liked it very much.
When they finished,
it was 3 a.m.
I was afraid
of bothering you.
So I slept at the hotel last night.
Chacha’er didn’t take the fruits.
I’ll send to her.
These
are for you.
You think of me now?
It’s too late.
I don’t want gold.
I want diamond necklaces.
Under such a state,
diamond necklaces and cash
are useless.
Only gold talks.
Take these to protect yourself.
What do you mean?
I’m leaving for Nanking soon.
I just received the massage.
I’ll go in several days.
Go back to your family with the gold.
It’s just Nanking.
It’s not far.
I’ll go to see you once I miss you.
After I go to Nanking,
it’s not easy for us to meet again.
Take these.
I’ll go with you.
I don’t go for having fun.
I lost my military power.
Seems that I’m promoted, but in fact, I am demoted.
I fear that our good days
are numbered.
I don’t care.
I’ll go with you even if I would suffer.
I also want you to go.
But you can’t go
to the place where I go.
I can’t?
Are you sure you leave me alone?
I know.
I know
you never believe me.
You think
I marry you just for money.
I marry you for our debts.
You are not alone.
They all think so.
But do you know?
Why don’t I want
to live with you in the barracks?
I’m scared.
Every time when you fought at the front,
I feared that you couldn’t go back.
So every sound of guns
and horns
made me...
made me
scared to death. Do you know?
Commander.
You always want a baby.
I give you a baby.
I can give you many babies.
Don’t say that you are old.
I’ve made up my mind.
When you are old,
I take care of you.
I won’t leave you until the end,
OK?
What are you doing?
Take down your gun.
I want to be Mrs. Cao.
Commander.
I want to be Mrs. Cao for my life.
Why don’t you take me?
Alright.
Commander.
You want to have
a Concubine Yu.
Let me be your Concubine Yu.
I didn’t think in this age,
I can have such a devoted woman.
You are Concubine Yu,
but I am not Xiang Yu.
I tell you.
Here’s the story.
Did the commander just go?
Yes.
Why should he stay in Peking when he’s promoted?
So simple?
What do you think?
But don’t worry.
You can still freight
for me.
A young one comes after the old one.
Seems that
I can’t stay away from your family Cao.
We are relatives after all.
I heard that Commissioner Liu from Nanking
is capable.
He killed bandits
on his way.
-Yes. -Excuse me.
-Amazing. -Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Please.
Sorry, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Don’t hurt me.
Sorry.
What does this mean?
That man’s eye sight
is creepy.
Yes.
A man? That’s a woman.
A woman? How come?
Can a woman have such eyesight?
I’ve been seeing
different people disguise like another gender
on the stage.
How can I make a mistake?
Layue Hong.
Let’s have a bet. Do you dare?
Will you?
The loser treats others to wonton.
I won’t lose.
You will, Layue Hong.
That must be a man.
No way.
Let’s have a bet.
Commissioner Liu!
Welcome. Commissioner Liu.
Good man.
Everybody.
Recently, I’ve been here for my duty.
I haven’t stayed here for long,
but I’ve received
your warm welcome.
I really appreciate it.
So I must remove people who hurt you
to repay your kindness.
So today,
I’ll execute the delinquent bandits
to gain
the justice back for you.
Nice!
Now, take them here.
Time to execute them.
These guys are too bad.
Thanks God, they’ll be sentenced.
At 12,
shoot your guns.
Wait at here.
I’ll be closer to see her.
Will you escape?
Layue Hong.
Won’t you watch?
Right.
What are you saying?
It’s 12, now!
She has a gun!
Run! Murder!
Run! Run!
Go!
It’s me.
It’s you? Bastard.
You promised to save my men,
but they will die.
I shouldn’t have trusted you.
Let’s talk later.
Are you okay?
OK.
Take off your clothes.
Change this.
You take lady’s dress with you?
I bought it at the near shop.
Alright. Don’t waste time.
Change now.
Put some dirt on your face.
Don’t let others see you.
Do you understand?
Take it.
Don’t cry.
It’s OK.
OK. Don’t cry.
Mr. Cao. What happened?
I help to seize that man.
When I ran after him,
he took a hostage.
He ran that way.
Seize him.
Go.
You can’t stay in Peking. Leave here now.
No.
They still have my men.
I can’t go.
Who needs your rescue?
I sent your men out of Peking.
I think they have arrived at Laozi Ridge now.
So...
Who are those at the execution place?
Some prisoners who were sentenced to death.
Though your men were caught by Liu Hanyun,
they still needed to be in prison.
I don’t think I need to repeat
the relationship between the police chief and my family.
You are really bold.
How dare you change people
when Liu Hanyun is here?
I’m not like you,
foolhardiest.
Please think before you do.
You told me to go back,
but you came here to save them.
Don’t you care your life?
You care because
I’m expecting your baby, right?
How selfish
you are.
For your own benefit,
you almost sacrifice another life.
It’s not a life before it’s born.
Alright.
Stop wasting time.
They are searching you around the city.
The gate is still open.
Leave now.
But I haven’t killed Liu Hanyun.
Do you want to die?
Can you revenge if you die here?
What’s more,
a lot of people
are waiting for you at Laozi Ridge.
My lady.
Go, now.
Did you arrest the assassin?
Not yet.
I deserve to die many times.
People can only live once.
How come you die many times?
Don’t say those words again.
Yes, sir. I deserve to die.
OK, I’m fine.
Don’t stop searching the assassin.
Arrest the assassin even if he’s died.
Also,
hang the bodies of these bandits
on the gate tower to show my determination
to make this city peaceful.
Yes.
How about other guests?
They’ve been sent home.
Who is the one warning us?
Did you find him?
Yes.
I took him with his partners.
They are outside.
Let him in.
OK.
Take him in.
Raise your head.
Commissioner Liu.
My name is Layue Hong,
from Shuiyun Theater.
A kid taught by Shang.
No wonder you are smart.
Thanks to you,
I didn’t die.
Tell me,
what do you want as the reward?
Commissioner Liu said it.
Money or goods,
what do you want?
I...
I don’t dare say.
How come?
As long as your requirement
is under the law and ethics,
I give you by all means.
Commissioner Liu.
I want to leave Shuiyun Theater.
I want to follow you.
I’ll do whatever I can for you.
Look. Raise your hands.
Feet.
You are back.
What?
What happened?
-What’s wrong? -Say something.
You are all back.
Leader. Leader.
Where is Layue Hong?
You went to
the execution together.
Why didn’t he go back with you?
Leader.
Layue Hong was taken away by Commissioner Liu.
Did...
Did he make troubles again?
No, he...
Don’t cover for him.
Commissioner Liu thinks Layue Hong is gifted.
So
he stayed Layue Hong and will promote him.
He won’t go back to play opera.
I knew that he and Liuyue Hong are disloyal.
They don’t focus on the opera
and think about how to be close to powerful men.
Our leader always said that we bullied them.
It’s not bad that they left.
Our Shuiyun Theater can be peaceful.
Yes. You are right.
You are back? Yayue Hong.
Layue Hong, you are back.
Leader.
I don’t want to perform opera anymore.
Layue Hong, think it well.
Don’t you think you can be a lord
with Liu Hanyun?
Except opera,
I know nothing.
To leave this industry,
this is a good chance.
Do you dislike opera so much?
I wouldn’t have learned opera
if I don’t need to earn a living.
Then learn to play Erhu and drum.
You can also learn to play the gong.
Except opera...
I want to leave this circle
forever!
I don’t want to be beaten
or looked down on by others.
Every hit that you get
can make you a star!
With your ability,
your future is promising.
With Liu Hanyun,
your prospect will totally
depend on him.
The men with power aren’t reliable!
Thousands of people sing opera in Peking,
but few of them are stars.
Also,
even if I become a star,
I am just an entertainer.
I don’t want such a life anymore!
I want to be respected!
I want to be an official!
Alright.
Everyone has his own fate.
Since you’ve made up your mind,
I won’t persuade you.
Do as you please.
I’ll repeat the words.
From now on,
don’t step in Shuiyun Theater
no matter what life you’ll live.
Thank you, leader.
Leader.
It’s more than 9.
Get up.
Get up, leader.
This morning,
I bought pea cake and beef with sauce for you.
Get up.
Don’t you eat?
I’ll give them to others.
Don’t.
Wash you face and brush your teeth.
Hurry.
Take care.
Excuse me.
Is Mr. Shang Xirui here?
What happened?
Zhouzi.
Our leader is inside.
Follow me.
What happened?
Take care.
-Is he okay? -What happened?
Leader!
-Leader! -Come out!
Leader! Come out. Leader.
What are you shouting?
Leader. Come to see Zhouzi.
-He’s seriously hurt. -Leader.
-Come.
Under the order of Commissioner Liu,
I send him to you.
Mr. Shang.
Zhouzi.
Finally you are back.
Mr. Shang.
Come on. Stand up.
Thank you.
Stand up. Take him inside.
Xiao Lai. Ask a doctor here.
Where is Mr. Liu now?
I need to thank him personally.
He was called back urgently.
So he went back to Nanking
with Layue Hong.
Yes.
Fengtai.
-Mengping. -What brings you by?
It’s heavy.
Let me do it.
I come to visit Zhixin.
He’s inside.
Zhixin, are you better?
Fengtai.
I’m sorry
to make you come.
I’m really sorry.
I didn’t watch him.
How come he still
can’t move on?
I didn’t cheat him on purpose.
Even though he hates me,
he made a mess
at the last meeting.
He shouldn’t have hit Zhixin this time.
Mengping, it’s not your fault.
He’s
always like a kid.
If he doesn’t change his temper,
what if he meets a tough issue
one day?
Have a chat.
I’ll prepare some tea for you.
Fengtai.
Tell me the truth.
Did you promise Shag Xirui something?
Promise?
I promised to buy him a theater
and take care of his account.
Did you realize them?
Yes.
Anything else?
A weird question.
Mengping was here,
so I didn’t say it.
Shang Xirui hit me
not because of Mengping,
but you.
Because of me?
Why?
I said he doesn’t deserve to be your friend
and want you to stay away from him.
He heard my words.
I thought
after the matter of Pingyang,
he won’t believe anyone.
But he believes you now.
I think Shang Xirui
has taken you as his family.
Do you know?
I know it now.
Gently.
How can it work if I’m gentle?
Yes.
This is a little hurt.
It will be okay, Zhouzi.
Leader!
What’s the fuss for?
I can’t read the newspaper,
but I know your rumor is running high.
They say you are Jiulang’s illegitimate child.
Jiulang came back to the stage for you.
If Jiulang is my father,
I’ll laugh even in my dream.
Also,
they say you were really in love with Yu Qing.
But you’ve broken up,
so your cooperation can’t be shown.
I was in love with Yu Qing?
Damn it.
Leader.
Let me do it.
You use too much strength.
His hurt will be more serious.
OK. You do it.
Mr. Shang.
I’m fine.
It doesn’t hurt.
Stop lying.
Don’t move.
It’s a little painful.
Mr. Yuan.
You don’t look after your pregnant wife
but come to Shuiyun Theater?
