With better luck, I'd have

Neither Peking nor Shaanxi opera
have anything like it.
63
00:08:28,207 --> 00:08:32,143
Sichuan opera is famed
for transformations,
64
00:08:32,211 --> 00:08:35,680
But they are paltry
compared to your magic.

it doesn't leak.

You misunderstand.
72
00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:09,581
I'm not trying
to steal your secrets.
73
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:12,851
Merchants form businesses,
we artists form troupes.

Ropes aren't made
from single strands.
75
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:18,490
Why not join my troupe?
76
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:23,228
Split the profits, and add
some color to our repertoire.
77
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:29,200
That's like asking
two peaks to merge.
78
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,303
I'm a loner,

Tell me, old master,
have you a disciple?
81
00:09:45,084 --> 00:09:47,519
It's a terrible thought,
82
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,788
But what if--
83
00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:51,957
I was to die without an heir?
84
00:09:55,494 --> 00:09:59,230
A minor matter...
85
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:01,299
I'll carry to the grave.
86
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:07,472
How callous of me!

Old master, we each decide
our own course.

Generals never dismount,
but gallop on.

for your patronage.

I wouldn't dare presume.
93
00:10:31,831 --> 00:10:35,734
No one values girls.
94
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:38,670
Even you'll only make
a boy your heir.
95
00:10:40,339 --> 00:10:42,374
As for me...
96
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:46,511
I'm a minor character,
half a woman.
97
00:10:48,547 --> 00:10:51,316
I'm not worthy of being called
"brother" by you.
98
00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:54,319
I've spoken out of place.
99
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:59,457
We all have our own sorrows.

Old master,
find yourself an heir.
101
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:12,337

I want one

She looks after all those

This is the one you want.
108
00:11:53,946 --> 00:11:56,281
A son is guaranteed.
109
00:11:56,348 --> 00:11:58,349
It's five copper coins.

But I need a boy.
120

If you'll feed her,
I'll be content.

Two dollars, and he's yours.

He's too small.
Can't afford him.

01:21:07,963 --> 01:21:10,764
In a former life,
722
01:21:10,832 --> 01:21:13,934
I must've wronged you badly,
723
01:21:14,002 --> 01:21:18,839
And now I'm repaying the debt.
724
01:21:20,542 --> 01:21:25,446
It was karma.
725
01:21:34,623 --> 01:21:38,292
Doggie,
726
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,862
Take general with you.
727
01:21:43,498 --> 01:21:46,967
I've given you comfort,
728
01:21:47,035 --> 01:21:50,638
Taught you some skills.
729
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,343
Burn spirit money for me...
730
01:21:56,411 --> 01:21:59,480
In the ghost festivals,
731
01:22:00,582 --> 01:22:04,585
And you'll have done
the right thing by me.
732
01:22:04,653 --> 01:22:06,587
Boss!
733
01:22:15,697 --> 01:22:17,031
Boss!
734
01:22:17,098 --> 01:22:19,767
Don't cry.
735
01:22:19,834 --> 01:22:23,370
You old bastard,
your granddaughter's
saying good-bye,
736
01:22:23,438 --> 01:22:25,839
And you can't even
give her a smile.
737
01:22:25,907 --> 01:22:29,710
- Come on.
- Boss! Boss!
738
01:22:29,778 --> 01:22:33,714
Boss! Boss!
739
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:36,850
Boss! Boss!
740
01:23:05,780 --> 01:23:10,351
Come here, doggie! Quick.
741
01:23:13,021 --> 01:23:18,025
What are you planning
to do about grandpa?
742
01:23:18,093 --> 01:23:20,094
I don't know.
743
01:23:20,161 --> 01:23:22,096
Tears are no use.
744
01:23:22,163 --> 01:23:27,134
You know the living bodhisattva?
745
01:23:27,202 --> 01:23:29,670
The opera singer?
746
01:23:29,738 --> 01:23:35,342
He's grandpa's friend
and a big shot in this country.
747
01:23:35,410 --> 01:23:39,680
I think only he can help.
748
01:23:39,748 --> 01:23:41,849
Go find him.
749
01:23:44,352 --> 01:23:48,355
[ people chattering ]
750
01:24:10,145 --> 01:24:12,279
Living bodhisattva!
751
01:24:17,485 --> 01:24:21,488
- [ car engine starting ]
- [ women shouting ]
752
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:25,292
[ horn honking ]
753
01:24:35,670 --> 01:24:37,938
Living bodhisattva!
754
01:25:10,738 --> 01:25:14,441
Master Liang,
you'll catch a chill.
755
01:25:14,509 --> 01:25:17,644
No need. Spring is here.
756
01:25:41,603 --> 01:25:45,072
Living bodhisattva,
master Liang!
757
01:25:45,140 --> 01:25:46,540
And you are?
758
01:25:46,608 --> 01:25:51,044
I'm doggie,
the King of Masks' grandson.
759
01:25:51,112 --> 01:25:55,149
The king's grandson? Doggie?
760
01:25:56,251 --> 01:25:59,720
Weren't you a boy?
761
01:26:03,158 --> 01:26:05,993
No, I was sold.
762
01:26:09,797 --> 01:26:11,765
What are you doing here?
763
01:26:11,833 --> 01:26:14,735
Grandpa's been arrested.
764
01:26:14,802 --> 01:26:18,972
You've got to save him!
765
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,909
You're the only one who can.
766
01:26:21,976 --> 01:26:23,744
What's this all about?
767
01:26:23,811 --> 01:26:25,746
It's the grandson
of the King of Masks!
768
01:26:25,813 --> 01:26:29,716
Tell me what happened
to grandpa, child.
769
01:26:29,784 --> 01:26:34,421
Come. Get up. Come.
770
01:26:35,823 --> 01:26:38,192
Come on. She needs care.
771
01:26:40,395 --> 01:26:45,032
The lightest breeze
can blow you inside
the prison gates,
772
01:26:46,301 --> 01:26:50,504
But the strongest ox
can't pull you out again.
773
01:26:50,572 --> 01:26:53,240
Yet if he dies on
these trumped-up charges,
774
01:26:54,242 --> 01:26:56,176
His art will die with him.
775
01:26:56,244 --> 01:26:58,512
Such a pity.
776
01:27:00,348 --> 01:27:04,685
Oh, please, save him!
777
01:27:04,752 --> 01:27:07,621
He has no other family.
778
01:27:16,464 --> 01:27:19,132
You are a fine, filial child.
779
01:27:21,102 --> 01:27:23,237
I'll do my best.
780
01:27:25,373 --> 01:27:28,408
- Have some water.
- [ grandpa coughs ]
781
01:27:28,476 --> 01:27:32,879
- [ speaking Chinese ]
- [ coughing continues ]
782
01:27:37,118 --> 01:27:41,188
I've never even served
my own father this well.
783
01:27:41,256 --> 01:27:45,259
But you don't have
long to live.
784
01:27:47,395 --> 01:27:52,132
The monk has no sons,
but so many are filial to him.
785
01:27:53,134 --> 01:27:57,604
You've always got
a snappy answer.
786
01:27:57,672 --> 01:28:00,540
You can sacrifice your body
but not lose an argument.
787
01:28:00,608 --> 01:28:06,313
You've only got five days left.
Can't you say something nice?
788
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,055
I've been framed.
789
01:28:23,531 --> 01:28:26,033
Framed!
790
01:28:32,407 --> 01:28:36,076
They said it was
a local matter,
791
01:28:36,144 --> 01:28:39,446
Rather involved too.
792
01:28:43,618 --> 01:28:46,053
They told me
to stay out of it.
793
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:47,587
[ doggie sobbing ]
794
01:28:47,655 --> 01:28:49,790
Li Xiang.
795
01:28:49,857 --> 01:28:55,329
Give the child a bit of money.
Help her out.
796
01:29:06,674 --> 01:29:08,175
Doggie.
797
01:29:09,277 --> 01:29:11,645
I can't save your grandpa.
798
01:29:19,987 --> 01:29:21,488
Doggie.
799
01:29:26,327 --> 01:29:31,298
We're just actors, both of us.
800
01:29:35,737 --> 01:29:41,041
We don't count
for much in society.
801
01:29:41,109 --> 01:29:43,343
Master Liang.
802
01:29:48,616 --> 01:29:51,618
(music) a sweet man
doth seem this king (music)
803
01:29:51,686 --> 01:29:54,354
(music) I shall test him
with my flirting (music)
804
01:29:54,422 --> 01:30:00,494
(music) and see if my hopes
to him might cling (music)
805
01:30:00,561 --> 01:30:05,098
(music) [ singing continues ]
806
01:30:05,166 --> 01:30:08,335
(music) [ music continues ]
807
01:30:26,220 --> 01:30:31,224
(music) [ music continues ]
808
01:31:00,588 --> 01:31:04,591
(music) [ music continues ]
809
01:31:24,612 --> 01:31:30,283
(music) my horse,
of groom to me now bring (music)
810
01:31:38,793 --> 01:31:44,264
(music) the generals
must be hastening (music)
811
01:31:56,811 --> 01:32:01,815
(music) [ music continues ]
812
01:32:03,117 --> 01:32:06,119
[ cheering, shouting ]
813
01:32:08,656 --> 01:32:13,260
General, you are
a truly fine drummer
and excellent singer.
814
01:32:13,327 --> 01:32:15,295
Really outstanding.
815
01:32:15,363 --> 01:32:19,599
The opera fans have really
had a treat tonight!
816
01:32:19,667 --> 01:32:25,539
Everyone,
today is my 66th birthday.
817
01:32:25,606 --> 01:32:30,143
Please join me for a feast
at the hall of drunken fairies.
818
01:32:30,211 --> 01:32:31,478
Great!
819
01:32:31,546 --> 01:32:33,146
General!
820
01:32:34,982 --> 01:32:37,617
The King of Masks was framed!
821
01:32:37,685 --> 01:32:41,388
- Doggie?
- What opera is this?
822
01:32:41,455 --> 01:32:45,492
General, it's not an opera.
It's a plea for help.
823
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:47,928
Doggie, are you crazy?
824
01:32:47,995 --> 01:32:52,132
General, the King of Masks
is no kidnapper!
825
01:32:52,199 --> 01:32:55,635
I rescued that boy
and took him to the king.
826
01:32:55,703 --> 01:32:57,637
What is she talking about?
827
01:32:57,705 --> 01:33:01,141
I spoke to you about this
a few days ago.
828
01:33:01,208 --> 01:33:02,842
I asked you to look into it.
829
01:33:02,910 --> 01:33:07,347
I told you the army can't
interfere in local matters.
830
01:33:07,415 --> 01:33:08,682
What--
831
01:33:08,749 --> 01:33:12,719
If you won't help,
I'll cut the rope and die.
832
01:33:12,787 --> 01:33:15,388
Don't be silly, doggie!
833
01:33:17,291 --> 01:33:20,894
She's just trying to scare us.
834
01:33:20,962 --> 01:33:23,730
I don't believe she'll do it.
835
01:33:23,798 --> 01:33:25,966
Let's go eat.
836
01:33:28,869 --> 01:33:31,605
- General!
- General!
837
01:33:33,441 --> 01:33:35,275
Doggie!
838
01:34:22,556 --> 01:34:23,923
General!
839
01:34:25,626 --> 01:34:30,130
Are you truly not moved
by this child's actions...
840
01:34:30,197 --> 01:34:32,966
And her plea?
841
01:34:34,268 --> 01:34:37,237
Can you just stand by
and do nothing?
842
01:34:38,506 --> 01:34:41,641
Do you have a heart of Stone?
843
01:34:48,816 --> 01:34:53,319
Well, thank you for
your previous kindness,
844
01:34:54,488 --> 01:34:58,658
But I am taking this girl off
to find Justice...
845
01:34:59,860 --> 01:35:04,531
And will traverse
the whole country if I have to.
846
01:35:08,736 --> 01:35:11,237
A terrible injustice
has been done!
847
01:35:14,375 --> 01:35:17,110
A terrible injustice
has been done!
848
01:35:24,852 --> 01:35:26,853
Hold it!
849
01:35:32,193 --> 01:35:38,064
You live up to your nickname
of the living bodhisattva.
850
01:35:38,132 --> 01:35:43,203
Though merely an actor,
you have courage and character.
851
01:35:43,270 --> 01:35:47,107
I may be a soldier,
but I'm not a bastard!
852
01:35:49,710 --> 01:35:52,679
She's touched my heart too.
853
01:35:52,747 --> 01:35:55,815
I'll take care of this matter!
854
01:36:21,142 --> 01:36:25,278
A drop of compassion deserves
a wellspring of gratitude.
855
01:36:26,447 --> 01:36:29,149
I really don't know how to--
856
01:36:37,358 --> 01:36:41,127
You know, back then,
857
01:36:41,195 --> 01:36:44,531
I didn't appreciate
your offer.
858
01:36:46,634 --> 01:36:51,237
I'm happy to show you now--
859
01:36:51,305 --> 01:36:53,673
You misunderstand.
860
01:36:53,741 --> 01:36:57,610
I wouldn't dream
of taking advantage
of your misfortune.
861
01:36:57,678 --> 01:37:00,780
I wouldn't be worthy
of the brotherhood
of the streets if I did.
862
01:37:02,983 --> 01:37:07,620
The world is a cold place,
863
01:37:08,622 --> 01:37:11,124
But we can bring warmth to it.
864
01:37:12,459 --> 01:37:16,663
What other enjoyment
would there be to life?
865
01:37:16,730 --> 01:37:18,898
Master Liang.
866
01:37:22,403 --> 01:37:25,872
Please, old master, rise.
867
01:37:25,940 --> 01:37:28,107
Please, rise.
868
01:37:30,110 --> 01:37:31,811
Sit down.
869
01:37:34,315 --> 01:37:40,186
You shouldn't thank me anyway.
Thank doggie.
870
01:37:41,822 --> 01:37:47,627
Doggie is your true savior.
871
01:38:08,816 --> 01:38:10,950
Doggie!
872
01:38:22,997 --> 01:38:24,364
Doggie!
873
01:38:25,332 --> 01:38:26,666
Boss!
874
01:38:29,837 --> 01:38:32,138
Doggie!
875
01:38:32,206 --> 01:38:36,342
Call me grandpa.
876
01:38:42,683 --> 01:38:44,350
Grandpa!
877
01:38:45,486 --> 01:38:46,986
Grandpa!
878
01:38:49,323 --> 01:38:51,190
Grandpa!

880
01:39:17,718 --> 01:39:21,087
Grandpa! Grandpa!
