Original subtitles

In 1900 Empress Dowager Cixi called upon the boxers to expel the foreigners by force.

As a result, an Allied Army of Japan, Russia, Britain, America and other nations came to attack Peking.

Open the door! Please open the door!

Who is it?

This is the mansion of Lord Wang of the Ministry of War.

Who are you looking for?

Young mistress! Young mistress!

Help me!

Stop!

Young mistress, save us!

Please save us, young mistress!

Don't call me young mistress, I'm Qiu Jin.

Qiu Jin, Qiu Jin, how dare you!

How dare you touch this foreign soldier's gun?

If I shot you, would you still be alive?

Tingjun, have you seen

the flames of Beijing City and the blood on the swords

are redder than the red tassels on your hat?

Minister Lian has arrived.

Congratulations.

The foreign devils came quickly and left quickly.

Yes.

How is your household? Is it well?

Safe and sound, thanks to the Old Buddha

Thanks to the blessings of the Empress Dowager.

Yes, everyone is blessed by the Empress Dowager.

Please, please.

Please.

- Minister Lian is here. - Really?

- Where is Qiu Jin? - She said she is sick.

Sick? I'll go drag her out.

Yes, Da Jin has already gone up.

Qiu Jin, how could you forget?

Today is the day of the banquet.

It is also the anniversary of the Six Gentlemen.

And the day the Empress Dowager ceded territory

and paid reparations to the Eight-Nation Alliance.

A good day to mourn the loss of our rights and humiliate our country.

All the officials are in the front.

How could you display these memorial tablets?

What if they see this?

The six of them died to save the people and ascended to heaven.

All the officials should come over to offer incense and kowtow.

The security chief has repeatedly stated that anyone who colludes with the enemy will be punished.

Are you trying to get me killed?

Put it away quickly.

Put it down.

Ting Jun, don't worry.

I'll do the dangerous things.

Better to die than to live without freedom.

Freedom again, freedom...

I think I'm really going to get into trouble.

- Qiu Jin - Zhiying

Qiu Jin, don't keep things bottled up

The more successful he is, the sadder I feel.

We're two people from different worlds

But we just happened to meet again.

Tingjun is sincere about you

I know.

If not for this, I wouldn't be able to stay here a day longer.

Who is it?

I am Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao?

You're out?

If the young mistress hadn't sold her jewelry to redeem me,

I wouldn't have been able to get out this time.

I have come to kowtow to the young mistress to thank her.

I don't know you, but I heard you're a revolutionary.

Is it true?

I'm not a revolutionary

My brothers and I want to join the revolution.

Qiu Jin, send him away.

How can we contact you if we need you?

I'm a bookkeeper in the basement of the Tianhe Restaurant

I'll come and see you tomorrow morning

Wang Zhao, your cousin is here

Cousin

You can't judge a book by its cover.

Who would expect you to have such a cousin?

Yes, please come in

Everyone, be quiet. Miss Qiu is here

It was Ms. Qiu who saved us brothers.

I, Wang Jinba, thank you here.

Don't mention it.

You can call me Qiu Jin

This is Zhu Shaokang from Siming Mountain in Zhejiang.

Ms. Qiu, please give me your guidance.

Please.

Please sit down.

Everyone, please sit down.

Wang Zhao's trip was a success thanks to Miss Qiu.

She generously saved my life.

Miss Qiu is a scholar and knows more than us.

If there's anything, everyone should listen to Miss Qiu.

Please ask Miss Qiu to write a letter to that old thief Cixi.

Tell her to disband and return to Manchuria within seven days.

Otherwise...

What's the point of writing a letter?

We don't need Qiu or anyone else to fight the Tartars.

When the auspicious day arrives,

we'll burn down the Shunzhi Gate first, then attack the Baohe Palace.

There are foreign gunners in front and behind the Shunzhi Gate.

We can't get through by force.

Let's make this clear.

You say it.

It wasn't easy for me to bring these 300 men.

How about 30 taels for each person? Seem fair?

10 taels each.

30 taels.

- 12 taels. - 25 taels.

15 taels. That's the highest I can go.

I won't sell for a penny less.

Don't be in such a hurry.

Once we enter the Forbidden City, everything inside will be yours.

I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it.

Good.

That's how we'll do it.

Outside the palace, I'll listen to you.

Once we enter the palace, you have to listen to me.

What are you talking about? The benefits are for everyone.

We'll split it evenly.

Nonsense! We'll split it on the tip of a knife.

Good. I'll play with you.

Sit down...

Don't be rude in front of Miss Qiu.

Forget it.

I'm going back to Siming Mountain.

I'm leaving...

Whoever has second thoughts, I'll kill him first.

Kill?

Come and try.

Aren't you afraid of Miss Qiu laughing at you?

Who cares what Miss Qiu thinks?

We're in the business of killing.

Can a woman make decisions?

Shut up.

See you later

You...

If you want a revolution, you have to find Mr. Sun

The current rebel headquarters is located in Tokyo, Japan

The leader is Sun Yat-sen.

He brought many international students to form the Tongmenghui

inciting the trend and plotting a rebellion

In my humble opinion,

If the Tongmenghui is not eliminated, the rebels will continue for a day

If the students do not return, the root of the problem will remain.

Please ask the officials to return to Beijing and make a comprehensive plan.

Contact the Japanese government to deal with the students studying abroad.

First arrest those overseas students,

then eliminate the local rebels

inside and out, none of them can escape.

Okay, Yang Shu is in Japan

I'll send him a telegram

The intelligence department sent a telegram saying,

arrest the Alliance Society's international students.

You've been undercover for more than three months now,

where exactly is this Tongmenghui?

I haven't figured out where the Alliance Society is yet,

I only know that the international students often meet in the judo hall of the Mausoleum Hall.

I know their Bai Shanjin.

What is Bai Shanjin?

It's their strategist

What's his name?

Qiu Jin

I think I've read his articles in the newspaper.

She's a top student at Aoyama Women's Practical School

She's a woman?

She's good at poetry and swordsmanship

Take the Japanese police to arrest her

Classmates...

The Manchus have bribed the Japanese government.

They will crack down on international students here.

I personally think,

we shouldn't be hiding abroad anyway,

it's better to return home.

Contact the secret societies, train cadres

and carry out the practical work of the revolution

Those who share the same aspirations, please come forward and register.

We'll follow Qiu Jin.

Liu Guanghan

Thank you

Listen up, everyone!

I have some unfortunate news to report.

Our Hunan classmate Chen Tianhua

in protest of the Japanese government's unfair treatment of Chinese international students,

threw himself into the sea at Omori Bay this morning

This is his suicide note

He hopes that his death

will be the beginning of our overthrow of the Manchu Tartars

We have already organized a suicide squad to return home and start a revolution.

I will be the captain.

Good, I'm in.

Saving the country and saving the people, there is no distinction.

Those who have signed to go back, prepare to leave immediately.

Those who stay should study hard and train hard.

After you have finished your studies, please come back and take over from us.

Now, I'm going to see President Sun and give him the list.

What are you doing?

The Qing Empire wants to arrest you and take you back

Buping, take them out the back door.

Leave this to me.

Okay

Yes, sir

Liu Guanghan

I'll take this list to President Sun for you

Do you know where he is?

I don't know. Please tell me.

Okay. He's at...

I'll go myself.

I'll go with you.

No need, I'll go with Xu Xinlin.

Xilin, let's go.

I admire your determination.

With young people like you,

I am confident that the revolution will succeed.

I hope that after you return to China,

you will know that millions of young people,

in difficult circumstances,

are creating their own Republic of China.

I plan to start a women's newspaper in Shanghai,

and I will also investigate the secret societies in the Shaoxing area with Comrade Xu Xinlin.

The secret societies in Zhejiang include Zhongnan, Shuanglong, Baibu,

Longhua, Pingyang, Guangfu, and so on.

It's just that their goals are not correct, and their organization is not thorough.

This time, following your instructions, I will unite them,

and make them a force in the revolutionary ranks.

It is not convenient for Qiu Jin to associate with the secret societies.

I want you to take on more responsibility.

Yes.

There is no inconvenience.

Anything that a male comrade can do,

I can do it too.

I have taken a name, Jingxiong.

It is very meaningful.

However, the Qing government is paying close attention to Zhejiang.

They have sent their best men there.

You will be in danger, so you must think carefully.

The president, Jin Ou, is gone, and we must fill the vacancy.

For the country, I dare to sacrifice.

We had a meeting last night.

We would like to ask Xu Xilin to lead the Anhui branch.

We would like you to lead the Zhejiang branch.

I'm afraid you don't have the courage to go.

The president believes that you will definitely go.

Of course, you agreed immediately.

I don't dare to lead, but I will do my best in everything.

Good, good.

President, do you have any other instructions?

I am going to Southeast Asia to raise funds

to buy warships and torpedo boats.

Using foreign flags,

we will transport weapons along the Yangtze River.

You go back and set up bases.

When the weapons arrive next July or August,

we can take joint action.

Excellent. I will leave tomorrow.

President, take care.

Ms. Qiu,

I remember your poem...

To clarify the world is the duty of heaven,

The success or failure of the future, do not calculate.

Let's encourage each other

Come in

President, this is the manager of Hongqing Teahouse

He said he wanted to see you

A guest in our shop got a sudden illness

He's dying

He asked me to find you

There is an urgent matter.

What is his name?

I did not ask, he said he is a Japanese exchange student,

President, you will understand.

Okay, I will go over there.

Please

Liu Guanghan, when did you come back?

Yesterday

As soon as I got off the boat, I saw the newspaper you published

What a brave and powerful speech

Well said, well said!

If there is injustice, there will be an outcry

You're welcome to join our mission.

Do you welcome me?

I'm afraid I'm not interested,

I don't have the courage

What do you mean?

You can read these characters, can't you?

Where did the president go?

The president went to Hongqing Teahouse

Hongqing Teahouse?

Here is a concession, the Tartars can't come in.

She'll be in danger if she leaves the concession

The Tartars can arrest her at any time

President Qiu, I've brought you some steamed buns.

Good, feed them to them!

The president is back.

President.

President, you're back.

With the iron steamed buns from Bo Pin, what are you worried about?

Yuande... Guifen...

Mom

Mom...

Qiu Jin, since you've returned to the country

you should visit home.

Do you really plan to become Guanyin?

I can't bear to go back and see them.

If I go back and see them, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to come back.

So I brought them here.

You won't blame me, will you?

Play here for two days...

Zhi Ying, you should order a copy of the women's newspaper.

More than one, I've ordered dozens of copies.

I gave a copy to everyone I know.

Thank you, you're really good to me.

What can I say?

Even my feet listen to you.

You've also joined the Natural Feet Society.

I think all the women in China should unbind their feet.

Join the Natural Feet Society.

At least when racing against men they won't always be left behind.

If this continues, you won't be the only one competing.

Everyone will be competing.

President, there's a paper seller downstairs.

He said he wants to see you.

We have paper, we don't need his.

He said he has to sell it to you.

Okay, let him in.

Zhi Ying, was anyone following you when you came in?

Who's following?

The police spies.

I'm not a revolutionary.

Because I'm a revolutionary, I run a revolutionary newspaper.

They're always trying to catch me and stop my newspaper.

This paper seller is definitely not an ordinary person.

President, he insists that his goods are good.

He wants you to take a look.

Ms. Qiu, you know a good thing when you see it.

Just take a look and you'll understand.

It's really good stuff

Wu Yue and the five ministers are planning a journey on August 26th.

I came here specially to ask you for two bombs to assassinate

August 26th?

That's too soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time.

Don't you have any ready-made ones here?

These few are too weak.

Not enough for the five ministers.

I want to make some that are powerful, small, and easy for him to carry.

Much appreciated.

Editor, there are many foreign reporters who want to see you.

Please wait a moment

What can I do for you all?

She is Qiu Jin

She is Qiu Jin. Get her.

They are all foreign police officers who want to take Qiu Jin.

Don't try to stop them.

You can't do it. I'm leaving.

Xu Xilin

Liu Guanghan

- What are you doing? - We are here to take Qiu Jin

Qiu Jin? So you are a lackey!

With me here, no one can take Qiu Jin

Go!

Xilin, where are you from?

Shaoxing

What's the matter?

I'd like to ask you to go to Shaoxing to take over my Datong School.

Run a school?

Move the newspaper there.

With a newspaper and a school, we'll have plenty of power.

What about you?

I plan to leave the school and become an official in Anhui.

Because I'm related to the Hunan governor, Yu Lian San,

He wrote a letter of recommendation to the Anhui governor, An Ming.

An Ming promised me a position as a reserve military commander.

Of course, a talent like you...

it would be a shame not to become an official.

It's a pity that you shot Liu Guanghan,

I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will reward you not with a rank,

but with a steel knife.

An Ming asked me to head the police academy,

and I will control this force.

When President Sun's order arrives,

You are in Zhejiang, I am in Anhui, and I will respond

Okay, I was wrong about you.

You go back to Shaoxing and wait for me

I have to go to Beijing

To assassinate Wu Yue?

Do you know?

Mr. Cai Yuanpei told me.

However, I think,

You have to consider everything carefully,

and not act on impulse.

The five ministers' overseas investigation of the constitution is a lie

Cixi thinks that by doing this,

she can win people's hearts and resist the revolution.

Minister Wu is nothing more than a plaything for Cixi.

Rather than letting them live and deceive people, it's better to let them die and become ghosts.

From the inner palace to the station

Yuan Shikai's new army is everywhere

You really don't care

Life and death are up to fate

I'm going to take care of Wu Yue.

Catch him

Run fast

Let's go together

Can't run anymore

Can't be killed, long live

Young master, young mistress is back

Tingjun

So, it's the great scholar who has returned from Japan.

I heard you made a fortune in Shanghai.

Our Wang family is counting on you to return home,

and bring honour to our ancestors.

Two years ago, right here at this Taoran Pavilion,

you insisted on going overseas to study.

I agreed to it.

I am the most useless wretch in our Wang family.

I can't do well as an official or as a scholar.

I can't even control my own wife.

But I've been waiting every day,

waiting for you to return after achieving success and fame.

So that I can straighten my back and take a deep breath,

and so that my parents can be proud of me.

Now you've returned,

with messy hair and a gloomy face,

and bloodshot eyes.

You don't need to say a word.

I can see that you haven't had a good life these past two years.

You've suffered, you've been tired, and you've been scared.

You've cried, you've been tired, you've been worried.

Why is that?

You left behind the life of a young mistress in Beijing,

to face the storms and hardships outside,

wandering and drifting.

Why is that?

You abandoned your two children.

Every night I listen to them crying for their mother.

Why is that?

Why?

Song Tingjun.

Junqing.

And me, the one who thinks of you,

misses you, and waits for you to come back, a useless husband,

and doesn't get any news from you.

Why is that again?

What evil wind has bewitched you today?

To blow you in here.

Excellent! Excellent!

Tingjun, I know I've wronged you

Sorry to my in-laws, Sorry to my children.

Someone!

Someone!

Young master

Wash her clean

Dress her properly

She is the young mistress of the Wang family.

Quickly change her out of these dirty clothes

Throw away this smelly bag

She won't need it ever again

Tingjun, I'm leaving

Leaving?

I came to ask you for something.

Money? How much?

I don't want money, I want a divorce.

You go down first

I thought you were a leaf returning to its roots, a weary bird building its nest.

I didn't expect you to still want to fly far away.

Divorce me.

You have no faults, so how can I divorce you?

In your family, I am neither wife nor mother

Everywhere I am guilty, everywhere I can be divorced

Must you divorce me?

But how can I explain this to my parents?

Junjie, what are you doing?

Do you know what happened to Minister Wu this morning?

Everyone in Beijing knows.

Master Wang, do you know who threw the bomb?

I heard it was a man and a woman,

The man committed suicide on the spot.

The woman escaped without a trace

Is it you?

You got it right.

Qiu Jin, are you crazy?

I'll go even crazier.

If this is found out, the whole family will be executed, and nine generations will be affected.

That's why I came back to ask for a divorce.

Let's cut ties and have nothing to do with each other.

If something happens to me outside,

it has nothing to do with you.

I'll write it for you, I'll write it for you, I'll write it for you.

I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you.

I know.

This red tassel on my head has broken your heart.

Please.

I'll leave everything here to you

You can go to Anhui with peace of mind.

I brought you some garrison officers.

Zhu Shaokang, Wang Jinfang, Wang Zhao.

Thank you, gentlemen. I'll leave for Anhui tomorrow.

An Ming has already set a date to summon me.

Your humble servant, Xu Bosun, kowtows to the governor.

Yu Lianggong recommended you,

this is a rare opportunity,

You must do well.

I understand, and I will definitely do my best.

Sit

I heard that you also wrote a book

"On Ugliness and Evil".

"On Ugliness and Evil"? What does that mean?

If we do not resist evil, there will definitely be consequences

Every morning, your humble servant shoots at a target with a pistol.

First, to practice shooting, and second, to vent my anger

I wouldn't have thought that someone who looks like a scholar,

would have the guts to shoot a gun.

In these troubled times, if you practice shooting well

You can kill bandits and eliminate robbers

Lately, the rebels have been causing a lot of trouble.

What methods do you have for dealing with the rebels?

Your humble servant believes that to maintain order

we must first establish a police system.

I have studied the training and implementation of police systems in various countries.

Here is a plan for a police academy,

for your review.

Okay, I'll take a look, and if it's suitable,

I'll assign you to be in charge of the academy.

Thank you for your consideration.

Master, what are your orders?

Xiao Ma, your time to shine has come

Thanks to your guidance

Go and find out more about Xu Bosun for me

You're not at ease

It's rare to see someone so stubborn.

I understand.

Tomorrow night, I'll invite him out for a drink.

You go to his house and search it thoroughly.

Yes, sir.

Expel the Qing

Restore China

Establish a republic

Equalize land rights

Xu Xilin

Brother is Ma Zonghan

President Sun asked me to contact you

I expected you would come and have been waiting for you for a long time

Brother Xu is truly worthy of being courageous and knowledgeable

I have been here for half a year

Master Gu thinks I am diligent and trustworthy

If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know

Has An Ming seen my patrol plan?

The budget has been allocated and submitted.

Excellent.

The first batch of students will graduate in May or June next year.

In fact, they are my Restoration Army.

Your humble servant, Xu Bosun, greets you, sir.

I heard you're good with a pistol,

I've called you here to practice target shooting.

Bring him in.

He is a rebel and refuses to confess even after being tortured

I want you to show them what you can do.

I heard you can all fly over walls and run along rooftops

Now I'll let Magistrate Xu shoot you with a gun

When I shout "run", you run

If you run fast, you might save your life

If you can't run fast enough,

you'll be shot by Magistrate Xu

- Uncuff him. - Yes, sir

Disperse.

Run

Why aren't you running?

Revolutionaries don't run

Shoot

Shoot

Good palm strike, sir

Tough guy

Magistrate Xu

I heard that a leader of the revolutionaries has infiltrated Anhui.

Coincidentally, his surname is also Xu.

Two Xus... an interesting coincidence.

I thought you might be that Xu.

At that time, I really wanted to kill him.

Patience is key to success.

When the first batch of students graduate,

I will invite the officials from various government offices to attend the ceremony.

At that time, we will catch them all in one fell swoop.

Have you set a date?

I'm waiting for news from Qiu Jin.

Both sides will move together.

Will the students back out at the last minute?

Ten months of hard work, I don't think it will all be in vain.

Report.

Come in.

Report to the supervisor.

There is a Japanese old woman who wants to see you.

Please invite her in.

You... are you looking for me, old woman?

Yes, Mr. Xu. I came from Tokyo.

I know Supervisor Qiu. We are all on the same side.

Ms. Qiu.

I am Guanghanzi, Ma Zuo Han.

Everyone, you've worked hard.

Sit down.

I'm here to discuss the date for the attack.

What date are you planning to choose?

May 26th.

It's the birthday of the general's father, Gui Fu.

We'll go to pay our respects early in the morning.

First, we'll give him a precious gift, so you can take Hangzhou,

and then you can retreat to Anqing.

Good, I'll hold the graduation ceremony for the first batch of students here at the same time,

and we'll take action during the ceremony.

Now that we've made a decision, I'll head back.

Coming and going in a hurry, you've shaken off your poetic spirit.

Jinhua, Yiwu, Chuzhou,

are all waiting for Supervisor Qiu to inspect them.

I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower here,

so I brought Chen Boping to help.

Excellent.

My life is yours.

Don't hesitate to use me wherever you need me.

It's my duty to clear up the world,

and I don't care about success or failure in the future.

Just watch us on May 26th.

The 26th.

Fine

That's the date, go and prepare.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

A telegram from the governor's office,

a joint defense meeting will be held on the 28th,

when will you go, sir?

Let's go on the 27th.

The prefects from all over have arrived.

Naturally, there will be a lot of excitement.

I should go two days earlier.

Then let's change it to the 26th.

Let's change the graduation ceremony to the 25th.

The 25th?

I'm afraid we won't have enough time.

Magistrate Xu works quickly. We'll have enough time.

Let's do it on the 25th.

It doesn't matter if it's one day off.

If it's one day off, it won't work.

Today is the 23rd.

I'll send someone to Shaoxing to find Qiu Jin.

Supervisor Qiu is training soldiers on Siming Mountain.

No one can find her except me.

I need to blow up the arsenal in Dazhuzi Lane.

I can't leave.

What should we do?

Make your own way out

Your humble servant greets you.

Get up.

A telegram has arrived from the south,

saying that a man with the surname Xu has infiltrated Anhui Province.

We don't know his full name yet.

Xu Bosun is going to hold a graduation ceremony.

We must appear unprepared but be prepared.

Yes.

Your orders.

You go and tell him

Say that it is the governor's wish

First, the ceremony will be held on the morning of the 25th.

It can be held earlier, but not later

Second, the officials and students attending the ceremony,

are not allowed to carry any weapons or ammunition.

Third, from the 24th onwards,

all residents are forbidden from approaching the military warehouse in Dazhouzi Lane.

Violators will be shot.

What do you think about the 25th?

We will all listen to Brother Xu.

Good.

Students who are willing to follow me, cut your braids.

We will hold the ceremony on schedule.

Order them to turn around.

Turn around.

Where are their queues?

Turn around.

Where are the queues?

Report, sir, the revolutionaries have risen up.

What? Where?

Right here.

Today I'll take your life.

Fire! Fire quickly!

Xu Bosun, what are you doing?

I am Xu Xilin.

Chen Boping, seize the armory.

Got it, classmates, let's go.

Xu Boxun, I treated you well. Is this you repay my kindness?

The one seeking revenge is not Xu Boxun, it's Xu Xilin

So you really are a revolutionary.

The three massacres of Jiaqing, the ten days of Yangzhou,

I am seeking revenge for the blood debts of millions of my countrymen.

The Empress Dowager's imperial favour is boundless.

I can speak for you to the court.

There's nothing to say

China belongs to the Chinese people

We can't continue to be slaves to foreign nations!

Tell them to open the door

Open the door...

Capture him alive!

Capture Xu Bosun!

Capture him alive! Capture him alive!

You go.

I can't go. I have to open the armory.

No, Master Gu is prepared.

He's already set up an ambush.

I have to open it.

I want all my comrades to know that I'm opening the gate.

Once the gate is open, they'll come in.

Chen Boping.

I... We have to... open the gate.

Stop him!

Shoot...

Qiu...

Who are you?

I am a student of Teacher Xu Xilin

Yesterday, Teacher Xu revolted in Anhui,

but failed and was arrested

I rushed down to tell you.

We agreed to start together on the 26th

How did it change to the 25th?

An Ming changed the date

What about Teacher Xu?

Teacher Xu, he... he...

What do you have to say?

Very well. You asked for it.

I'll let you taste the pain of having your stomach cut open and your heart dug out

My heart is red, my blood is hot

Unlike you traitors and lackeys, whose hearts are black and whose blood is cold

Revenge...

Boping, Xilin

What should we do?

Don't panic. Take the students up the mountain.

Yes.

What about you?

Baishou's plan, don't change it.

So as not to affect the attack on Jinghua and Chuzhou.

I'll go and kill Guifu.

Kill as many as I can.

We'll go with you.

Supervisor Qiu...

The students refuse to go up the mountain and vow to protect Datong to the death.

Good. Good people.

You've come to pay your respects too?

Not only to pay my respects, but also to give a gift.

Good, good.

Let's see what gift you've brought.

First, take a look at this calligraphy, I guarantee you'll be amazed.

Good. Let's see.

Return my mountains and rivers?

Stand down!

You... Why are you doing this?

First, to celebrate the birthday. Second, to send you off.

Third, to avenge Xu Xilin.

I'll kill you.

Qiu Jin, do you still recognize me?

That shot in Shanghai didn't kill you.

Almost, but not quite.

I'm here to tell you.

Yesterday, Governor An Ming of Anhui was assassinated.

I identified the murderer, Xu Bosun.

He's the Japanese exchange student, Xu Xilin.

This Qiu Jin is his accomplice.

I rushed here to investigate her movements.

But I was still a step too late.

Jinfa, go!

Master Zhu, take the students away quickly. Go!

Leave it to me.

Retreat.

Yes, let's go.

Stop!

Qiu Jin, you may have escaped Lord Guifu's mansion,

but you won't escape Datong.

What a traitorous lackey.

I'm not a traitor, nor a lackey.

I'm the biological son of the Prince Duan of the Qing Dynasty,

a genuine descendant of the Eight Banners.

- Leave. - Yes, sir.

Qiu Jin,

ever since I met you in Japan

and read your poems,

I've been infatuated with you.

If you hadn't been clamoring for rebellion,

I would have carried you away in a bridal sedan long ago.

Dream on.

As long as you agree to be with me,

I can take you away.

We'll go abroad together and never come back.

Forget about the Manchus, forget about the Han.

What if I don't agree?

Qiu Jin, you'll be dead.

Fine, I'll do as you say.

I'll take this path to death.

- Men! - Yes, sir.

Take her away.

Director Qiu, I'll go first.

Qiu Jin,

I brought the kids to see you.

Zhiying...

Mom, what are you doing? Mom...

Mom is worshipping Guanyin.

Junqing, why are you doing this?

Tomorrow is the trial, just confess.

We will help you get acquitted.

For the sake of the children, just confess.

Yuande... Guifen...

Mom, I want Mom to come home with me.

I want Mom to come home.

I beg you, just confess.

If you confess, they will let you go. I beg you.

Fine, I'll confess.

Qiu Jin, how many accomplices do you have?

Confess.

I don't know.

Torture her.

Are you going to confess or not?

I don't know.

Tighter.

Tighter.

Harder, harder.

Confess!

I am Qiu Jin,

the leader of the Alliance's suicide squad.

I founded Datong School.

It has nothing to do with others.

You confessed.

I accept my fate, I will confess.

Sign it.

Overseas students everywhere heard that Qiu Jin was arrested

and have returned to the country to cause trouble.

There is a telegram for the governer,

asking you to make your own decision.

What does this mean?

What does it mean?

If you don't know, forget it.

The Empress Dowager knows.

President Sun knows.

Four hundred million compatriots know.

Do it.

Halt!

What are you doing?

Escorting Miss Qiu home.

Orders from above: the bodies of criminals are not to be collected.

Those who disobey will be executed.
