Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:49,150
Ladies and gentlemen.
2
00:01:49,250 --> 00:01:52,420
Away from home,
I rely on the kindness of strangers.
3
00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:54,650
They call me the King of Masks.
4
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,750
I thank you, one and all,
f or your attention.
5
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:04,320
On my solitary skiff,
I ply the rivers of Sichuan.
6
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:08,000
Arriving in each honorable town,
I pay a courtesy call...
7
00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:11,230
to the great clans, farmers,
merchants, secret societies...
8
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,850
and even the Christian converts.
9
00:02:16,830 --> 00:02:18,660
Move aside!
10
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:23,170
Won't you let an old man
do a bit of business?
11
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:26,330
With better luck, I'd have
a grandson yea tall by now.
12
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:29,670
Just stop your prattling
and show us your art.
13
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,300
General.
14
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,890
General Liu, it's been ages.
15
00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:23,710
Bureau Chief Huang.
The local big shot!
16
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:27,710
You're the big wheel 'round here.
17
00:03:27,810 --> 00:03:30,300
Dad! Ma! Here's Tianci.
18
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:32,000
Gramps!
19
00:03:32,090 --> 00:03:34,430
Good boy. Come here.
20
00:03:34,530 --> 00:03:37,020
Good. Say "Grandpa".
21
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,230
- Come on.
- Gramps.
22
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,630
Silly kid. It's "Grandpa".
23
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,680
- Grandpa.
- Good boy.
24
00:03:44,350 --> 00:03:49,100
The widow kept her lover
a secret to the day she died.
25
00:03:49,180 --> 00:03:52,900
But every wall has its cracks.
26
00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:55,550
I know who it was.
27
00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:57,480
Who? Tell us.
28
00:03:58,550 --> 00:04:01,440
The answer's right under your nose.
29
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:04,540
He's here among you.
30
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:08,350
Fearing exposure,
he's about to flee.
31
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,770
Soon as he does, I'll let you know.
32
00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:15,810
Dad, look!
33
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,320
I've heard the Living Bodhisattva
is really a man.
34
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:43,260
Silly girl!
That's the famous Liang Sulan.
35
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360
The hottest female impersonator
in Sichuan opera!
36
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:53,090
Touch his lotus throne,
and a healthy son will be yours.
37
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:55,560
Really? Let's go do it!
38
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,930
Wait!
39
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:45,470
Here.
40
00:06:46,530 --> 00:06:47,750
It's not easy for you.
41
00:07:06,330 --> 00:07:07,900
The Living Bodhisattva!
42
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,110
Master Liang!
43
00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:33,570
You are truly a performer's performer.
44
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:37,020
In all my travels...
45
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,120
I've seen nothing so marvelous
as your art!
46
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,480
Yours is a rare art indeed.
47
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:50,140
Neither Peking nor Shaanxi opera
have anything like it.
48
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:55,140
Sichuan opera is famed
for transformations...
49
00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:58,530
but they are paltry
compared to your magic.
50
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:02,780
The same potion brews differently
in different hands.
51
00:08:04,030 --> 00:08:06,970
Every beggar's got his own stick
for beating off dogs.
52
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:12,770
Though my skills be meager,
only a son may inherit them.
53
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:15,490
It's an ancient rule.
54
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:18,080
Master Liang.
55
00:08:18,170 --> 00:08:21,950
Though mine is a small teacup,
it doesn't leak.
56
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,270
You misunderstand.
57
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:30,650
I'm not trying to steal your secrets.
58
00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:34,170
Merchants form businesses,
we artists form troupes.
59
00:08:34,270 --> 00:08:37,310
Ropes aren't made
from single strands.
60
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,280
Why not join my troupe?
Split the profits...
61
00:08:41,370 --> 00:08:44,130
and add some color
to our repertoire.
62
00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:49,860
That's like asking
two peaks to merge.
63
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:51,860
I'm a loner...
64
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,430
used to my solitary ways.
65
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:59,040
Tell me, Old Master,
have you a disciple?
66
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,430
It's a terrible thought...
67
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,600
but what if--
68
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:11,610
I was to die without an heir?
69
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:18,650
A minor matter...
70
00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:20,480
I'll carry to the grave.
71
00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:26,560
How callous of me!
72
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:28,610
I've hurt your feelings.
73
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:33,700
Old Master, we each decide
our own course.
74
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:40,350
Generals never dismount,
but gallop on.
75
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,630
Thank you, brother,
for your patronage.
76
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:44,670
We're even now.
77
00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:48,420
I wouldn't dare presume.
78
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:53,670
No one values girls.
79
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:56,420
Even you'll only make
a boy your heir.
80
00:09:58,110 --> 00:10:00,020
As for me...
81
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,930
I'm a minor character,
half a woman.
82
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:08,610
I'm not worthy of being called
"brother" by you.
83
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,430
I've spoken out of place.
84
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,360
We all have our own sorrows.
85
00:10:21,950 --> 00:10:25,740
Old Master, find yourself an heir.
86
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:28,700
Don't let your magic die.
87
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,350
Buy a Goddess of Mercy.
88
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:44,090
Give birth to a son.
89
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:50,310
Have a look.
90
00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:02,370
I want one
for the giving of sons.
91
00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:04,640
She looks after all those
in misery.
92
00:11:06,140 --> 00:11:08,600
This is the one you want.
93
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:10,920
A son is guaranteed.
94
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,830
It's five copper coins.
95
00:11:16,030 --> 00:11:17,530
Take care.
96
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:23,130
Grandpa.
97
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:25,790
Grandpa, I don't want money.
98
00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:29,200
I'll clean and cook for you.
99
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:37,380
Oh, dear.
I want a boy, not a girl.
100
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,470
You don't have to pay a cent, sir.
101
00:11:45,570 --> 00:11:47,400
Just take her, please.
102
00:11:48,830 --> 00:11:51,930
- You're from Shaanxi as well?
- Yes, kind sir.
103
00:11:52,030 --> 00:11:54,370
But I need a boy.
104
00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:57,760
If you'll feed her,
I'll be content.
105
00:11:57,850 --> 00:11:59,520
Kind sir.
106
00:11:59,610 --> 00:12:02,680
Go. Just go.
107
00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:27,460
Sir, just two dollars.
108
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:29,210
Two dollars, and he's yours.
109
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:33,210
He's too small.
Can't afford him.
110
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:35,140
Sir, two dollars only!
111
00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:41,340
Grandpa!
112
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:47,520
Grandpa!
113
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,980
How old are you?
114
00:13:11,070 --> 00:13:13,730
He's eight. My own son.
115
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:18,170
If it weren't for the floods,
I wouldn't be doing this.
116
00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:21,580
Ten dollars and he's yours.
117
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:23,170
Ten dollars?
118
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:28,730
You think I'm the God of Wealth?
119
00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:34,490
Five then.
120
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:40,190
Grandpa!
121
00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:11,990
It fits like it was made for him.
122
00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:15,880
Come. Try on these pants.
123
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,310
Doggie. Look.
124
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:57,570
- A little boat!
- That's our home.
125
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,320
Here, General.
126
00:15:17,970 --> 00:15:19,680
Doggie.
127
00:15:19,770 --> 00:15:21,790
Come here.
128
00:15:21,890 --> 00:15:23,580
Grandpa!
129
00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:27,840
Grandpa!
130
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:31,870
Grandpa!
131
00:15:34,820 --> 00:15:36,650
Grandpa, you scared me.
132
00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:00,450
Grandpa!
133
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:31,650
Don't wolf it down.
134
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:36,610
Eat slowly. It's all yours.
135
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,290
Doggie, where's home for you?
136
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:57,570
Here, Grandpa.
137
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:02,430
I mean, where do you come from?
138
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,640
A place under floodwater.
139
00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:09,720
What's your surname?
140
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,310
Dad says it's Liu.
141
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:19,680
Your dad? That was your dad?
142
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:25,960
Don't be ridiculous. Your dad?
143
00:17:27,100 --> 00:17:29,820
What father could sell
his son dry-eyed?
144
00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:32,330
He's a slave trader.
145
00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:56,900
Your dad?
146
00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:58,750
Bastard!
147
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,150
He's a fucking heartless man.
148
00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:05,440
I wouldn't hit a monkey like that.
149
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:14,970
Poor little melon,
tossed in with a black-hearted turnip!
150
00:18:15,070 --> 00:18:16,570
Grandpa.
151
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,330
Don't cry. Don't cry.
152
00:18:28,770 --> 00:18:31,350
Your luck's changed.
153
00:18:32,730 --> 00:18:36,800
Your name's King now.
154
00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:43,200
You'll be my grandson.
No one would dare strike you now!
155
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,000
Your grandma ran off on me...
156
00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:02,920
thirty years ago.
157
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,860
I was too poor for her.
158
00:19:05,950 --> 00:19:08,740
She left me and our baby boy.
159
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,790
I was mother and father to him.
160
00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:18,110
Changed his diapers,
watched him grow.
161
00:19:19,810 --> 00:19:23,670
When he was ten,
he got sick and died.
162
00:19:28,090 --> 00:19:31,270
If he were alive today...
163
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:33,180
he'd be 31.
164
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:37,920
Grandpa's had a tough life.
165
00:19:39,740 --> 00:19:43,040
I've got no one left
166
00:19:45,210 --> 00:19:49,790
I'm lonely and bereft
167
00:19:53,310 --> 00:19:54,590
Doggie.
168
00:19:54,690 --> 00:19:59,140
I'm an old man.
I'll die one day.
169
00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:03,260
Don't die!
What'll I do if you die, Grandpa?
170
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:06,740
I don't want to die.
171
00:20:06,850 --> 00:20:08,890
But it's not up to us.
172
00:20:10,110 --> 00:20:15,300
I've been afraid no one
will carry on the family line...
173
00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:21,630
and that my art will die with me.
174
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,620
Be a good boy and work hard...
175
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,410
and I'll give you my love...
176
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,130
and my art.
177
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,700
Do you understand?
178
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,630
I want to learn
"change-face" opera, Grandpa.
179
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,010
Good! And I will teach it to you...
180
00:20:39,390 --> 00:20:41,700
and only you.
181
00:20:41,790 --> 00:20:45,370
It's a family heirloom,
not for outsiders.
182
00:20:47,290 --> 00:20:49,120
And not for girls.
183
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:02,710
Grandpa, I'll do that for you.
184
00:21:04,670 --> 00:21:07,460
Here, this.
185
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,550
What cold little paws!
186
00:21:25,330 --> 00:21:27,870
A little higher.
187
00:21:37,370 --> 00:21:39,200
Higher. Higher.
188
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,270
Where are you going, Doggie?
189
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:47,870
To have a pee.
190
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:53,660
Stand at the prow of the boat.
191
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,700
All right.
Go back to sleep, Grandpa.
192
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,020
Careful. Don't fall overboard.
193
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:13,600
Go away.
194
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,030
One silver dollar and 28 coppers.
195
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:48,130
So expensive!
196
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:49,400
Sure is.
197
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:54,780
PAWN SHOP
198
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:01,850
It's so early.
199
00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:06,970
Please help. My child's ill,
and I can't afford the medicine.
200
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:11,090
What'll you give me for this?
201
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:13,020
Have a good look at it.
202
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:17,860
It's been in the family
for generations.
203
00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:19,610
Two dollars.
204
00:24:19,710 --> 00:24:22,200
Surely, just a bit more. It's--
205
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,540
All right. If it's two, it's two.
206
00:24:35,610 --> 00:24:37,730
- It's bitter.
- I say it's sweet...
207
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,930
and you'd better drink it up.
208
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:43,410
Hold onto the bowl.
209
00:25:36,190 --> 00:25:37,530
Old Master.
210
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:44,290
You've come to see the opera?
Who's the boy?
211
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,840
Boy? My grandson.
212
00:25:48,930 --> 00:25:51,490
Congratulations, Old Master!
213
00:25:51,570 --> 00:25:53,660
Best wishes to you too!
214
00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:57,280
Come here and
take a photo with him.
215
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:00,160
- Come on up.
- We shouldn't.
216
00:26:00,250 --> 00:26:01,760
It's no trouble.
217
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:07,390
- Master Liang.
- Come on up.
218
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,400
Bow to Master Liang.
219
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,550
He's so excited!
220
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:15,360
Stand straight. Look at me.
221
00:26:22,810 --> 00:26:24,890
- Hello, boss.
- Off to the opera?
222
00:26:24,990 --> 00:26:28,510
Beimang Peak.
Master Liang is famous for it!
223
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,430
It's a good opera.
224
00:26:46,430 --> 00:26:49,730
Pardon me.
I'd like to try my luck.
225
00:27:07,220 --> 00:27:08,730
Great!
226
00:27:12,570 --> 00:27:13,920
Eat up.
227
00:27:19,710 --> 00:27:21,210
Once more!
228
00:27:22,270 --> 00:27:23,830
What a skill!
229
00:27:27,290 --> 00:27:28,230
Grandpa!
230
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,290
Get some wine
from over there.
231
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:36,670
Hurry!
232
00:27:38,620 --> 00:27:43,480
Grandpa cut his foot!
He needs wine. Hurry!
233
00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:45,790
- All right. Just a sec.
- Hurry!
234
00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:51,290
Boss--
235
00:27:51,390 --> 00:27:53,670
King, what happened?
236
00:27:58,740 --> 00:27:59,930
Grandpa.
237
00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:10,910
Boss. Light this.
238
00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:18,080
- Doggie, piss on it.
- Piss?
239
00:28:18,170 --> 00:28:23,130
Boys's piss mixed with cloth ashes
will stop the bleeding.
240
00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:24,610
I can't.
241
00:28:24,690 --> 00:28:28,770
Piss! What's the fuss?
Take down your pants.
242
00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:30,390
No--
243
00:28:30,490 --> 00:28:33,340
What's with you?
244
00:28:34,430 --> 00:28:35,930
I-- I'm a girl!
245
00:28:41,180 --> 00:28:44,540
What? I must've been blind.
246
00:28:59,770 --> 00:29:02,140
- Grandpa.
- Leave me alone.
247
00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:04,420
So young and yet such a crook.
248
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,920
I'm a stupid pig,
letting you trick me like that.
249
00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:17,890
I'm not a crook.
I've been sold seven times.
250
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:20,470
'Cause I'm a girl...
251
00:29:20,570 --> 00:29:22,620
they've all abused me.
252
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,130
Only you've treated me well...
253
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:29,250
like family.
254
00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:32,480
I was scared you wouldn't want me.
255
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Grandpa.
256
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:45,410
Don't sell me.
257
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Who'd want you anyway?
258
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:58,270
I can't believe I was fooled
by a little girl.
259
00:29:59,350 --> 00:30:01,180
I won't sell you.
260
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,990
But I can't keep you either.
261
00:30:10,980 --> 00:30:12,440
Here's some money.
262
00:30:12,540 --> 00:30:14,210
Good luck.
263
00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:21,440
Grandpa!
264
00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:27,130
Grandpa! I'll cook and clean.
265
00:30:28,340 --> 00:30:32,670
I'll scratch your back.
Just don't send me away!
266
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,870
Grandpa! Grandpa!
267
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:46,840
Grandpa!
268
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:07,550
Stupid girl! Trying to kill yourself?
269
00:31:12,730 --> 00:31:14,870
Grandpa! Grandpa!
270
00:31:19,290 --> 00:31:21,120
Doggie!
271
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:07,080
You're like a leech
on a cormorant's foot.
272
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,990
Can't shake you off.
273
00:32:10,270 --> 00:32:12,670
Grandpa! Grandpa!
274
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,270
Don't call me that.
275
00:32:17,790 --> 00:32:19,870
I'm Boss to you now.
276
00:32:19,970 --> 00:32:22,240
You'll work for me.
277
00:32:22,330 --> 00:32:25,440
If you work hard, you can stay on.
278
00:32:25,530 --> 00:32:28,510
Otherwise, we go our separate ways.
Understand?
279
00:32:28,610 --> 00:32:31,100
Yes. I'll work very hard.
280
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:36,150
Stupid girl.
281
00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:38,400
Making trouble for yourself.
282
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,890
Lower!
283
00:33:03,670 --> 00:33:05,170
Flip over.
284
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,630
Doggie!
285
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,420
Uncles, aunties,
ladies and gentlemen.
286
00:33:48,510 --> 00:33:52,380
Observe the skill
of this seven-year-old child.
287
00:33:59,230 --> 00:34:03,580
She's a novice.
If she does well, clap your hands.
288
00:34:05,950 --> 00:34:07,780
Bravo!
289
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,270
If you show your appreciation
in cash, all the better.
290
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:09,210
Catch.
291
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:13,450
Thank you.
292
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,740
Take care.
293
00:35:20,530 --> 00:35:23,360
Mate. You've got my money.
294
00:35:23,450 --> 00:35:25,370
Now tell me how you do it.
295
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:28,640
Yes, show us your tricks.
Open your eyes.
296
00:35:28,730 --> 00:35:31,360
Yeah, come on.
We'll put our money where our mouth is.
297
00:35:31,450 --> 00:35:34,590
My dear soldiers,
it's a family secret.
298
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,690
I wouldn't sell it
for a thousand taels of gold.
299
00:35:38,780 --> 00:35:43,010
All I can say is 2 plus 2
is the opposite of take.
300
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:44,930
Please "four-give" me.
301
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:47,400
Leading us on,
you ungenerous bastard?
302
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,930
Never mind.
We're not going to force you.
303
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:57,030
Gotta be going.
We'll meet again.
304
00:35:57,110 --> 00:35:59,160
- Hand it over.
- What?
305
00:35:59,260 --> 00:36:01,440
- The money.
- Money?
306
00:36:02,780 --> 00:36:05,980
You're as sneaky with money
as a cat with food.
307
00:36:06,070 --> 00:36:09,210
But you don't show us,
you don't keep the money.
308
00:36:11,930 --> 00:36:14,280
I wouldn't dare keep your money.
309
00:36:14,370 --> 00:36:17,150
The world's a big place.
We'll meet again.
310
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,920
Wait a minute.
I gave you two strings of cash.
311
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:28,350
Yes, now cough up the other one.
312
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,630
Cough it up.
313
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,860
You treat me
like a performing monkey.
314
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:34,780
Tomorrow I'm off to war.
315
00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:39,220
Like a meatball thrown at a dog,
I won't be coming back.
316
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,850
You wouldn't even give us
some face, you bastard.
317
00:36:40,950 --> 00:36:45,030
All I wanted was a bit of knowledge
before I died.
318
00:36:45,110 --> 00:36:50,240
So you're a monkey.
Show us your tricks. Make us happy.
319
00:36:50,330 --> 00:36:53,850
My master will only teach
his art to a son.
320
00:36:53,950 --> 00:36:57,570
It can only be passed on to boys,
not girls or outsiders.
321
00:36:57,660 --> 00:37:00,320
He won't even show me.
Who do you think you are?
322
00:37:00,410 --> 00:37:01,760
Little shit!
323
00:37:01,850 --> 00:37:07,490
Don't take offense, gentlemen.
She's only a child.
324
00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:10,650
Look, you want to see
how it's done?
325
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:15,510
All right, I'll show you
and destroy my living.
326
00:37:15,610 --> 00:37:18,170
But if it will make you all happy...
327
00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:20,510
stand closer and watch.
328
00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:43,800
Gentlemen, it's simple really.
329
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:46,590
It's all in the hands.
330
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:51,000
A few weeks' practice and you too
can be a King of Masks.
331
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:57,370
Good man! We'll study with you
when we return from war.
332
00:37:59,870 --> 00:38:02,290
Here's some money for you, King.
333
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:17,020
Boss.
334
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:21,760
You didn't really show them,
did you?
335
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:33,850
A dragon in the shallows
336
00:38:33,940 --> 00:38:37,430
Is toyed with by shrimps
337
00:38:38,490 --> 00:38:41,630
A tiger out of the jungle
338
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:45,510
Can be tormented by a dog
339
00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:08,220
Giving up drink?
340
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,150
Haven't seen you for ten days.
341
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:15,570
Drinking's the only vice
I have left.
342
00:39:16,770 --> 00:39:21,240
If I gave that up, what'd be left?
343
00:39:23,090 --> 00:39:26,140
Help yourself.
It's fresh. Jasmine.
344
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,290
This is your adopted grandson?
345
00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:44,180
Son, daughter, who cares.
346
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,360
It's an extra pair of hands.
347
00:39:46,460 --> 00:39:48,540
Better than being on my own.
348
00:39:49,590 --> 00:39:50,850
True.
349
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:57,490
Heard you refused
Master Liang's offer.
350
00:40:01,630 --> 00:40:03,780
It wouldn't exactly
have been a piece of cake.
351
00:40:04,990 --> 00:40:07,200
He's as sharp...
352
00:40:07,290 --> 00:40:11,090
as a whip...
353
00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:13,790
and as famous as you can be.
354
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,340
I'm just a street performer.
355
00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:21,120
I'd be way out of my depth.
356
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,090
They say he offered you 100 dollars.
357
00:40:29,140 --> 00:40:32,190
It was kind of him.
358
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,660
I'm happy to be friends.
359
00:40:37,690 --> 00:40:41,630
But even 100 dollars
runs out after a while.
360
00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:45,310
I look after myself,
ask nothing from anyone.
361
00:40:46,590 --> 00:40:49,150
You can never be too talented.
362
00:40:54,010 --> 00:40:58,910
Is there water in this wine?
Or rather, wine in this water?
363
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,500
Boss!
364
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,110
Coming.
365
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,700
Relax. I might do that to others.
Not to you, though.
366
00:41:11,060 --> 00:41:14,720
Boss, this wine seems watered down.
367
00:41:14,810 --> 00:41:17,330
That's slander!
Certainly not.
368
00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:22,740
What gall! Water in the wine!
Try it yourself.
369
00:41:26,740 --> 00:41:29,210
- Good morning.
- Finished up?
370
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:58,880
Did you steal this?
371
00:42:01,140 --> 00:42:03,160
Aren't you the capable one?
372
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,220
Take it back.
373
00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:25,830
What do you want, Doggie?
374
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,100
Just looking.
375
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:30,750
What're you doing?
376
00:42:31,770 --> 00:42:33,270
Just looking.
377
00:42:34,850 --> 00:42:36,200
Looking?
378
00:42:43,390 --> 00:42:44,890
Don't go.
379
00:43:49,690 --> 00:43:51,070
All right.
380
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:53,780
A bit higher.
381
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,780
Doggie, I'll tell you something.
382
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,850
If you've got skill and talent...
383
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:05,730
the world is yours.
384
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,500
I've never stolen...
385
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,140
or begged from anyone.
386
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:16,250
I've relied solely on my skills.
387
00:44:16,350 --> 00:44:17,850
Higher.
388
00:44:20,670 --> 00:44:24,350
Give General some more
sweet potato.
389
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,060
- Later I'll take you to the opera.
- The opera?
390
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,380
Master Liang is in his famous role
in Attaining Nirvana.
391
00:44:36,030 --> 00:44:37,920
The evil leader
of his insignificant kingdom...
392
00:44:37,980 --> 00:44:41,180
has entered the Buddhist hell...
393
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,960
his soul never to be released!
394
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,050
Hear the judgment of the law.
395
00:45:01,210 --> 00:45:03,900
Oh, Buddhist patriarchs!
396
00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:09,090
Be merciful.
397
00:45:10,940 --> 00:45:14,500
The princess arrives
on the Boat of Kindness.
398
00:45:16,890 --> 00:45:18,140
Bravo!
399
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,490
Oh, patriarchs.
400
00:45:33,660 --> 00:45:35,970
The burning of
White Sparrow Temple...
401
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:38,650
was not my father's intention.
402
00:45:38,740 --> 00:45:41,950
He fell into a trap set
by a wicked minister.
403
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,050
Please, hear me out
in my sincerity...
404
00:45:46,140 --> 00:45:51,330
and spare the life
of my father, the king.
405
00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:58,330
The laws of Heaven
make no exception.
406
00:46:00,470 --> 00:46:02,520
If you will show no compassion...
407
00:46:02,620 --> 00:46:05,530
I shall cut this rope...
408
00:46:05,620 --> 00:46:07,840
and fall into the pit of death...
409
00:46:07,930 --> 00:46:12,320
so that I may share
my father's suffering!
410
00:46:12,410 --> 00:46:14,430
No, my daughter!
411
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,530
Princess, you mustn't
take your life so lightly.
412
00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:22,780
Pay her no heed.
413
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,710
Let her do as she will.
414
00:46:27,900 --> 00:46:29,460
Father!
415
00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:32,220
Daughter!
416
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,060
Father!
417
00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:37,340
Daughter!
418
00:46:38,710 --> 00:46:42,880
I haven't been as filial
as I could have been.
419
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,640
Amitabha!
420
00:47:18,620 --> 00:47:22,420
Buddha of Infinite Qualities.
421
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:29,470
She's attained Nirvana!
Set off the firecrackers!
422
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:02,650
Where's Young Master?
423
00:48:02,740 --> 00:48:04,310
Tianci?
424
00:48:04,410 --> 00:48:08,280
Where'd Tianci go?
425
00:48:09,630 --> 00:48:11,490
Tianci!
426
00:48:11,570 --> 00:48:13,350
Find him!
427
00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:17,310
Boss.
428
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,590
If the princess died,
how did she come back in the end?
429
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,010
She turned into a god,
like Bodhisattva.
430
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:27,970
She's a good person, then?
431
00:48:28,060 --> 00:48:31,990
She does good deeds
and rescues souls in strife.
432
00:48:34,460 --> 00:48:36,640
Come on, Doggie.
433
00:48:46,490 --> 00:48:48,030
Boss.
434
00:49:18,070 --> 00:49:19,900
Eat up, Boss.
435
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,550
If only you were a boy.
436
00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:31,350
What do boys have that I don't?
437
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,150
Just a little teapot spout.
438
00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:40,860
Does the goddess
have a teapot spout?
439
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,900
What goddess?
440
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,950
Bodhisattva.
441
00:49:51,420 --> 00:49:55,690
Look, she's got bosoms.
Why do you worship her?
442
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:04,350
Grandpas and grandmas,
uncles and aunties.
443
00:50:05,570 --> 00:50:08,420
Please bear with my meager skills.
444
00:50:08,510 --> 00:50:12,310
I'll thank you if you give money
and if you don't.
445
00:50:12,410 --> 00:50:16,860
Next my master will perform.
446
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:23,680
Thank you, auntie!
Thank you, uncle!
447
00:50:32,190 --> 00:50:33,540
Go away.
448
00:52:15,450 --> 00:52:16,890
Grandpa!
449
00:52:17,940 --> 00:52:21,050
Boss! Boss!
450
00:52:21,140 --> 00:52:23,740
Boss! Fire!
451
00:52:23,830 --> 00:52:28,030
Help! Fire!
452
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,900
Boss! Boss!
453
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,470
Stop here.
454
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,540
Master Liang.
455
00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:56,470
Old Master, here's that photo.
456
00:54:57,530 --> 00:55:00,850
I meant to send it to you earlier.
457
00:55:00,950 --> 00:55:04,410
You're too kind.
458
00:55:04,510 --> 00:55:07,040
And how's the little grandson?
459
00:55:08,790 --> 00:55:10,850
Gone off to play.
460
00:55:10,930 --> 00:55:14,970
How's he doing?
He's surely learnt much by now.
461
00:55:15,070 --> 00:55:19,930
Not much to brag about. It'll do.
462
00:55:21,850 --> 00:55:24,860
- How much for a sweet potato?
- Two cents a catty.
463
00:55:24,950 --> 00:55:26,870
- One catty, please.
- One catty.
464
00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:35,070
Take care.
465
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Little devil, stealing potatoes,
are you? Looking for a hiding?
466
00:55:53,660 --> 00:55:55,600
Halt right there!
467
00:55:55,700 --> 00:55:58,870
Try that again and see if
I don't beat you to death.
468
00:56:05,940 --> 00:56:07,290
Hurry.
469
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:24,320
- Who's there?
- Me.
470
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:30,260
I've picked up another one.
No willie on her, though.
471
00:56:31,350 --> 00:56:32,700
Come in.
472
00:56:37,500 --> 00:56:39,680
How are you with kids?
473
00:56:45,210 --> 00:56:46,560
Go on.
474
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,110
Go up. Go.
475
00:58:06,940 --> 00:58:08,990
Have this too.
476
00:58:39,570 --> 00:58:42,270
Where's your family?
477
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,090
What's your name?
478
00:58:44,190 --> 00:58:45,500
Tianci.
479
00:58:45,590 --> 00:58:47,840
- What?
- Tianci.
480
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,390
Go for it.
Eight's wealth and love.
481
00:59:19,090 --> 00:59:21,170
Seven's clever, three's stars above.
482
00:59:21,300 --> 00:59:22,910
Drink up.
483
01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:13,760
Let's go.
484
01:00:58,710 --> 01:01:02,170
Come on. Careful. Hurry.
485
01:01:41,970 --> 01:01:43,390
What?
486
01:02:32,340 --> 01:02:37,980
You're sweet, but you'll
never be a real grandson.
487
01:02:44,190 --> 01:02:48,500
Grandma's bridge is nigh...
488
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,960
Grandma says I'm a sweetie pie.
489
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,660
Where's Grandma's house?
490
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,610
By the river.
491
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:03,490
Who lives there?
492
01:03:03,580 --> 01:03:08,220
Grandma, Uncle and Auntie.
493
01:03:10,710 --> 01:03:13,020
What's Auntie do?
494
01:03:13,110 --> 01:03:17,150
She makes dumplings and noodles.
495
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,380
- Sister, I have to pee.
- All right. Come on.
496
01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:32,280
A little teapot spout.
497
01:03:42,580 --> 01:03:45,690
Grandpa would like you.
498
01:03:45,780 --> 01:03:47,680
I miss Grandpa.
499
01:03:49,470 --> 01:03:51,680
I do too.
500
01:03:54,230 --> 01:03:57,860
Tomorrow I'll take you
to see Grandpa.
501
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:04,120
My grandpa's the King of Masks.
502
01:04:04,220 --> 01:04:06,130
He's great!
503
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,970
He'll feed you rice...
504
01:04:11,060 --> 01:04:15,260
and yummy meat dishes.
505
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:03,930
Faithful one.
506
01:05:05,790 --> 01:05:09,210
Have you come to pray for an heir?
507
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,190
Buddha, be merciful!
508
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:31,520
I just want to ask
if in this lifetime...
509
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,520
I will have an heir
to continue the family line.
510
01:05:38,230 --> 01:05:42,500
Guo Ziyi had many children
in his home.
511
01:05:44,700 --> 01:05:48,090
Dou Yanshan's five sons
with glory shone.
512
01:05:49,270 --> 01:05:53,340
The Yangs produced eight generals,
tigers all.
513
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,040
You have one stick of joss
in your ancestral hall.
514
01:05:58,140 --> 01:06:00,610
Amazing!
515
01:06:00,690 --> 01:06:05,210
Alas, my one little seedling--
516
01:06:05,310 --> 01:06:07,620
Was trampled.
517
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:10,370
Don't despair.
518
01:06:11,740 --> 01:06:15,260
Luck and misfortune
are intertwined.
519
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,810
Your fate holds a grandson.
520
01:06:19,890 --> 01:06:23,040
Where is he then?
521
01:06:24,190 --> 01:06:29,690
You will find him
to the north of here, by water.
522
01:06:41,340 --> 01:06:45,210
To the north, by water?
523
01:07:18,940 --> 01:07:21,620
- Grandpa!
- Who's your grandpa?
524
01:07:23,350 --> 01:07:25,570
The King of Masks.
525
01:07:25,650 --> 01:07:28,320
Who are you? What's your name?
526
01:07:28,410 --> 01:07:30,720
Tianci.
527
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,750
Tianci-- "Heaven sent"?
528
01:07:38,770 --> 01:07:41,440
You've a little teapot spout!
529
01:07:41,530 --> 01:07:44,700
You really are heaven sent!
530
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,130
Tianci...
531
01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:16,700
tell Grandpa where you live.
532
01:08:19,290 --> 01:08:21,120
Dunno!
533
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:25,990
What's your surname?
534
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,280
It's Tianci.
535
01:08:29,910 --> 01:08:32,830
- Who brought you here?
- Sister.
536
01:08:34,490 --> 01:08:36,540
Sister?
537
01:08:39,510 --> 01:08:41,340
What sister?
538
01:08:43,900 --> 01:08:45,920
Was it-- Where is she?
539
01:08:49,020 --> 01:08:51,640
Doggie!
540
01:08:52,700 --> 01:08:54,400
Doggie!
541
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,820
Doggie!
542
01:09:03,290 --> 01:09:06,160
Our country has witnessed...
543
01:09:06,270 --> 01:09:09,020
numerous child kidnappings.
544
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:14,280
Tianci, 4, was taken from
the prominent Wen family.
545
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:19,360
He is 3'2", round face, black eyes...
546
01:09:19,450 --> 01:09:24,670
and was wearing brown pants
and a blue gown.
547
01:09:35,130 --> 01:09:38,300
Grandpa Mask King!
548
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,560
Grandpa Mask King!
549
01:10:37,950 --> 01:10:39,160
Master!
550
01:10:39,260 --> 01:10:41,160
- Mommy! Mommy!
- Louder! Hurry.
551
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,350
Tianci! Tianci!
552
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:46,490
Tianci! Let Grandma see you.
553
01:10:46,590 --> 01:10:49,600
Mommy was worried
to death about you.
554
01:10:49,690 --> 01:10:51,800
The King of Masks?
555
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:54,840
Seems to be quite famous
round these parts.
556
01:10:54,940 --> 01:10:57,320
He abducts people's children?
557
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:02,720
- And the Wen child?
- He's been taken home.
558
01:11:06,490 --> 01:11:07,670
What's that?
559
01:11:07,770 --> 01:11:11,550
A monkey. When we arrested him,
the monkey followed.
560
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,060
Officer.
561
01:11:20,030 --> 01:11:22,970
What's going on?
562
01:11:23,070 --> 01:11:25,490
The literati have their forums,
the military their schools...
563
01:11:25,590 --> 01:11:28,090
the secret societies their hails
and performers their stages.
564
01:11:28,190 --> 01:11:30,080
Surely, there is a place for reason.
565
01:11:30,170 --> 01:11:32,700
Stop prattling. What's your name?
566
01:11:32,790 --> 01:11:35,230
- My humble surname--
- Stand up to speak!
567
01:11:36,700 --> 01:11:39,910
Is Wang.
They call me King of Masks.
568
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,870
So we've heard.
A real street character.
569
01:11:44,690 --> 01:11:48,090
I wouldn't presume.
570
01:11:48,190 --> 01:11:52,500
I've only got a minor place
in the Green Dragon Society.
571
01:11:52,610 --> 01:11:54,850
I trust my mates to look after me.
572
01:12:04,660 --> 01:12:07,230
Who are you calling your mates?
573
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:11,560
If you belong to them,
you know the rules.
574
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,780
Break the rules
and take the consequences.
575
01:12:15,860 --> 01:12:20,510
You make your bed, you lie in it.
576
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:27,550
Now tell us how
you've abducted those children.
577
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,600
I swear before heaven and earth...
578
01:12:29,690 --> 01:12:32,480
and may I be struck down
by lightning if I lie...
579
01:12:32,570 --> 01:12:34,470
I wouldn't dare do such a thing.
580
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,090
Don't try confusing us
with fancy talk.
581
01:12:37,180 --> 01:12:42,820
I'm asking you, how did the Wen boy
end up on your boat?
582
01:12:42,910 --> 01:12:45,730
- You mean Tianci?
- Yes.
583
01:12:45,810 --> 01:12:49,470
It was Doggie
who brought him to me.
584
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,140
- Doggie?
- Yes.
585
01:12:51,220 --> 01:12:54,780
She knew I wanted
an heir, a grandson.
586
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,240
Go on.
587
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,460
Which gang does Doggie belong to?
588
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,460
What sort of nickname is that?
An outsider or a local?
589
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,430
Neither.
590
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:12,060
She's just a little girl.
591
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,060
About so tall and eight years old.
592
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,500
An eight-year-old girl?
593
01:13:18,580 --> 01:13:23,710
Bullshit! Looks like you've got
a big-time case to answer for.
594
01:13:25,310 --> 01:13:27,870
Ready to confess yet?
595
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,670
Hit him again.
596
01:13:33,690 --> 01:13:35,040
Confess!
597
01:13:37,660 --> 01:13:42,490
Sir, we wore him down.
598
01:13:43,740 --> 01:13:45,570
He's signed.
599
01:13:53,820 --> 01:13:55,080
Good.
600
01:13:56,250 --> 01:14:01,280
Let's hang all
the kidnapping cases on him...
601
01:14:01,370 --> 01:14:03,260
and solve them in one stroke.
602
01:14:06,270 --> 01:14:07,800
Hurry.
603
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:24,770
General! Come here.
604
01:14:24,850 --> 01:14:28,550
So, you've got company.
605
01:14:30,930 --> 01:14:33,700
He even volunteered for jail.
606
01:14:39,190 --> 01:14:43,960
Old man, here's a chamber pot.
607
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,870
At least you won't be lonely.
608
01:14:50,170 --> 01:14:55,540
My grandpa didn't steal
anyone's child. It was me.
609
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,650
I don't know anything
about your grandpa's case.
610
01:14:58,750 --> 01:15:02,070
But it'd be a damn shame
if he were to die.
611
01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:07,040
Look, you go and play for a while.
612
01:15:07,130 --> 01:15:11,740
When I'm off, I'll meet you
at the gate and get you in.
613
01:15:13,140 --> 01:15:15,010
Boss!
614
01:15:18,620 --> 01:15:21,590
Boss! Boss!
615
01:15:21,690 --> 01:15:24,830
I only wanted you
to have a grandson.
616
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:30,120
I never thought
I'd get you into trouble.
617
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:35,320
Boss! It's so unfair!
618
01:15:35,420 --> 01:15:38,280
So unfair!
619
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,430
If there's mud in your pants...
620
01:15:41,530 --> 01:15:45,800
people will say you shit in them.
621
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:50,110
Boss, punish me!
622
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:54,880
Can't dodge what fate's got in store.
623
01:15:56,130 --> 01:15:59,740
Doggie, I don't blame you.
624
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,960
It's fate. I accept it.
625
01:16:06,620 --> 01:16:08,380
Boss!
626
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:12,570
I've brought your
most precious things.
627
01:16:12,670 --> 01:16:15,570
What precious things?
Let me have a look.
628
01:16:15,670 --> 01:16:18,140
Your masks, King of Masks.
629
01:16:21,210 --> 01:16:25,240
Take them with you to hell
to scare off the demons.
630
01:16:40,730 --> 01:16:45,280
I've played with these my whole life.
631
01:16:47,610 --> 01:16:50,480
They're useless now.
632
01:16:50,590 --> 01:16:55,410
Didn't bring them into the world;
can't take them when I go.
633
01:16:57,340 --> 01:17:00,250
I've broken the tradition.
634
01:17:01,300 --> 01:17:02,690
Broken it.
635
01:17:02,780 --> 01:17:04,790
Boss!
636
01:17:07,260 --> 01:17:11,770
It'll truly be a lost art.
637
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:15,710
Boss!
638
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,470
Don't cry, Doggie.
639
01:17:28,250 --> 01:17:30,910
In a former life...
640
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,950
I must've wronged you badly...
641
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,590
and now I'm repaying the debt.
642
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:44,930
It was karma.
643
01:17:53,820 --> 01:17:57,310
Doggie...
644
01:17:57,410 --> 01:18:00,680
take General with you.
645
01:18:02,330 --> 01:18:05,630
I've given you comfort...
646
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,080
taught you some skills.
647
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,620
Burn spirit money for me...
648
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,570
in the Ghost Festivals...
649
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,520
and you'll have done
the right thing by me.
650
01:18:22,620 --> 01:18:24,380
Boss!
651
01:18:33,210 --> 01:18:34,460
Boss!
652
01:18:34,550 --> 01:18:37,080
Don't cry.
653
01:18:37,180 --> 01:18:40,530
You old bastard,
your granddaughter's saying good-bye...
654
01:18:40,630 --> 01:18:42,910
and you can't even give her a smile.
655
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,620
- Come on.
- Boss! Boss!
656
01:19:21,250 --> 01:19:25,530
Come here, Doggie! Quick.
657
01:19:28,190 --> 01:19:32,950
What are you planning
to do about Grandpa?
658
01:19:33,050 --> 01:19:34,950
I don't know.
659
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,870
Tears are no use.
660
01:19:36,950 --> 01:19:41,700
You know the Living Bodhisattva?
661
01:19:41,790 --> 01:19:44,130
The opera singer?
662
01:19:45,170 --> 01:19:49,800
He's Grandpa's friend
and a big shot in this country.
663
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,720
I think only he can help.
664
01:19:53,810 --> 01:19:55,730
Go find him.
665
01:20:22,970 --> 01:20:24,920
Living Bodhisattva!
666
01:20:47,450 --> 01:20:49,530
Living Bodhisattva!
667
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,610
Master Liang, you'll catch a chill.
668
01:21:24,690 --> 01:21:27,610
No need. Spring is here.
669
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,980
Living Bodhisattva, Master Liang!
670
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:55,390
And you are?
671
01:21:55,480 --> 01:21:59,720
I'm Doggie,
the King of Masks' grandson.
672
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:03,580
The King's grandson? Doggie?
673
01:22:04,730 --> 01:22:07,960
Weren't you a boy?
674
01:22:11,350 --> 01:22:13,980
No, I was sold.
675
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:19,590
What are you doing here?
676
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,440
Grandpa's been arrested.
677
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:26,490
You've got to save him!
678
01:22:26,590 --> 01:22:29,310
You're the only one who can.
679
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,070
What's this all about?
680
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,000
It's the grandson
of the King of Masks!
681
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,800
Tell me what happened
to Grandpa, child.
682
01:22:36,890 --> 01:22:41,240
Come. Get up. Come.
683
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:44,860
Come on. She needs care.
684
01:22:47,060 --> 01:22:51,420
The lightest breeze can blow you
inside the prison gates...
685
01:22:52,730 --> 01:22:56,730
but the strongest ox
can't pull you out again.
686
01:22:56,830 --> 01:22:59,290
Yet if he dies on
these trumped-up charges...
687
01:23:00,350 --> 01:23:02,180
his art will die with him.
688
01:23:02,270 --> 01:23:04,350
Such a pity.
689
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:10,330
Oh, please, save him!
690
01:23:10,430 --> 01:23:13,080
He has no other family.
691
01:23:21,660 --> 01:23:24,120
You are a fine, filial child.
692
01:23:26,110 --> 01:23:28,050
I'll do my best.
693
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,100
Have some water.
694
01:23:41,460 --> 01:23:45,340
I've never even served
my own father this well.
695
01:23:45,430 --> 01:23:49,180
But you don't have long to live.
696
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:55,770
The monk has no sons,
but so many are filial to him.
697
01:23:56,830 --> 01:24:01,090
You've always got a snappy answer.
698
01:24:01,180 --> 01:24:03,900
You can sacrifice your body
but not lose an argument.
699
01:24:03,990 --> 01:24:09,370
You've only got five days left.
Can't you say something nice?
700
01:24:15,420 --> 01:24:17,760
I've been framed.
701
01:24:25,980 --> 01:24:28,290
Framed!
702
01:24:34,490 --> 01:24:37,980
They said it was a local matter...
703
01:24:38,070 --> 01:24:41,150
rather involved too.
704
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,550
They told me to stay out of it.
705
01:24:49,110 --> 01:24:51,130
Li Xiang.
706
01:24:51,220 --> 01:24:56,380
Give the child a bit of money.
Help her out.
707
01:25:07,350 --> 01:25:08,700
Doggie.
708
01:25:09,850 --> 01:25:12,030
I can't save your grandpa.
709
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:21,470
Doggie.
710
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:30,880
We're just actors, both of us.
711
01:25:35,220 --> 01:25:40,290
We don't count for much in society.
712
01:25:40,370 --> 01:25:42,420
Master Liang.
713
01:25:47,580 --> 01:25:50,430
A sweet man doth seem this king
714
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,050
I shall test him with my flirting
715
01:25:53,150 --> 01:25:58,940
And see if my hopes
to him might cling
716
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:24,980
My horse, of Groom
to me now bring
717
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,400
The generals must be hastening
718
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:06,260
General, you are a truly fine drummer
and excellent singer.
719
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,230
Really outstanding.
720
01:28:08,310 --> 01:28:12,350
The opera fans have really
had a treat tonight!
721
01:28:12,440 --> 01:28:18,050
Everyone, today is my 66th birthday.
722
01:28:18,140 --> 01:28:22,460
Please join me for a feast
at the Hall of Drunken Fairies.
723
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:23,740
Great!
724
01:28:23,830 --> 01:28:25,270
General!
725
01:28:27,130 --> 01:28:29,620
The King of Masks was framed!
726
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:30,710
Doggie?
727
01:28:30,810 --> 01:28:33,240
What opera is this?
728
01:28:33,340 --> 01:28:37,170
General, it's not an opera.
It's a plea for help.
729
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,520
Doggie, are you crazy?
730
01:28:39,610 --> 01:28:43,550
General, the King of Masks
is no kidnapper!
731
01:28:43,650 --> 01:28:46,920
I rescued that boy
and took him to the King.
732
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,830
What is she talking about?
733
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,190
I spoke to you about this
a few days ago.
734
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:53,820
I asked you to look into it.
735
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:58,150
I told you the army can't interfere
in local matters.
736
01:28:58,230 --> 01:28:59,420
What--
737
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:03,300
If you won't help,
I'll cut the rope and die.
738
01:29:03,380 --> 01:29:05,780
Don't be silly, Doggie!
739
01:29:07,710 --> 01:29:11,130
She's just trying to scare us.
740
01:29:11,230 --> 01:29:13,850
I don't believe she'll do it.
741
01:29:13,940 --> 01:29:15,930
Let's go eat.
742
01:29:18,810 --> 01:29:21,340
- General!
- General!
743
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:24,860
Doggie!
744
01:30:10,390 --> 01:30:11,510
General!
745
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:17,520
Are you truly not moved
by this child's actions...
746
01:30:17,620 --> 01:30:20,190
and her plea?
747
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,290
Can you just stand by
and do nothing?
748
01:30:25,590 --> 01:30:28,510
Do you have a heart of stone?
749
01:30:35,480 --> 01:30:39,760
Well, thank you for
your previous kindness, but...
750
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,830
I am taking this girl off
to find justice...
751
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:50,460
and will traverse the whole country
if I have to.
752
01:30:54,580 --> 01:30:56,890
A terrible injustice has been done!
753
01:30:59,990 --> 01:31:02,520
A terrible injustice has been done!
754
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:11,870
Hold it!
755
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:21,720
You live up to your nickname
of the Living Bodhisattva.
756
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:27,610
Though merely an actor,
you have courage and character.
757
01:31:27,710 --> 01:31:31,290
I may be a soldier,
but I'm not a bastard.
758
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,700
She's touched my heart too.
759
01:31:36,790 --> 01:31:39,650
I'll take care of this matter!
760
01:32:04,030 --> 01:32:07,890
A drop of compassion deserves
a wellspring of gratitude.
761
01:32:09,110 --> 01:32:11,610
I really don't know how to--
762
01:32:19,570 --> 01:32:23,160
You know, back then...
763
01:32:23,260 --> 01:32:26,360
I didn't appreciate your offer.
764
01:32:28,470 --> 01:32:32,860
I'm happy to show you now--
765
01:32:32,950 --> 01:32:35,200
You misunderstand.
766
01:32:35,290 --> 01:32:38,970
I wouldn't dream of taking
advantage of your misfortune.
767
01:32:39,060 --> 01:32:42,910
I wouldn't be worthy of
the brotherhood of the streets if I did.
768
01:32:44,150 --> 01:32:48,670
The world is a cold place...
769
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:51,870
but we can bring warmth to it.
770
01:32:53,250 --> 01:32:57,240
What other enjoyment
would there be to life?
771
01:32:57,340 --> 01:32:59,320
Master Liang.
772
01:33:02,780 --> 01:33:06,080
Please, Old Master, rise.
773
01:33:06,170 --> 01:33:08,150
Please, rise.
774
01:33:10,170 --> 01:33:11,710
Sit down.
775
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:19,740
You shouldn't thank me anyway.
Thank Doggie.
776
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:26,880
Doggie is your true savior.
777
01:33:47,290 --> 01:33:49,240
Doggie!
778
01:34:00,890 --> 01:34:02,100
Doggie!
779
01:34:03,130 --> 01:34:04,320
Boss!
780
01:34:07,450 --> 01:34:09,630
Doggie!
781
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,590
Call me Grandpa.
782
01:34:19,770 --> 01:34:21,270
Grandpa!
783
01:34:22,620 --> 01:34:23,810
Grandpa!
784
01:34:26,140 --> 01:34:27,830
Grandpa!
785
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,510
Grandpa! Grandpa!
