You sure you got it right?

Directly at his bed

Is a hundred catties enough?

Quite enough

You go first, I'll do it

Rebel Si Jian-Ru, is sentenced to death

for conspiring to bomb the President's Mansion,

execution without delay

Si Jian-Ru, to Hell with you

Disciple Pan Da-Wei

Longevity forever

To follow Buddha

Longevity forever, to follow Buddhism

Longevity forever, to follow Buddhism

Longevity forever, to follow the Monk

Longevity forever, to follow the Monk

All man will die

The difference is how you choose to die

We'll be arriving in Guangzhou soon

Please take care of your own belongings

We'll change to a connecting boat to shore

Please take care of your own belongings

Attention please

Quickly, search the luggage over there

You guys, over here

Come over here

Put the crates up there

Go, open it

Excuse me sir, do you have an invitation?

Sorry, I don't have one

Then, you are...

Sir, If you don't have an invitation...

I'm from Nanyang

A friend of Gao Jian-Fu

My mistake, Please this way

Gao, quite the Tiger

Great!

Thank you. Come on, Brother Liao

We'll take a photo together

All set Big Brother

Lord Li

Honour us and take a photograph with us

Come, come on, Big Brother

Closer, get closer

Great!

Excuse me Sir. I'm terribly sorry

It's alright

I'm from Nanyang, but I'm not a revolutionary

Cut the chatter, get over here

Tang Tsai Congee

Tang Tsai Congee

What did you say?

The City of Ice

You're from Harbin

No

Malaya, Pulau Pinang. Also known as Penang

The gentleman in the room is Lord Li Zhun; the Minister of Marine

That is my father

I mean the one who is talking to Lord Li

My name is Fang Wei-Ru

Congee, Tang Tsai Congee

That's not right!

Don� t touch my clothes

The search for revolutionaries has come upon me

I will not allow you to search my stuff today

Quiet, who refuses to be searched?

Everything has to be searched

Hey girlie

Is the Tang Tsai congee hot?

It's hot, it's hot

Don't worry about that woman, someone's getting off the boat over there

Hey you, come back

I'm just having a bowl of congee

Give me a bowl

Sure thing. Please go in and have a seat, just a quick wait

These barricades were set up just two days ago

The Chairman is very anxious

He told us to come fetch you

I bet it was that Li Zhun's order

That way has been blocked

We need to think of another way

They're going to kill that 'Old Fart' tonight

You well know how to enjoy life

I've been up before the sunrise

and still haven't had a decent meal

I'm just having some congee, nothing else

Nonsense

Get back in line

What about my bowl of congee

Nonsense

Go, quickly

Little girlie. Yes?

Still got any congee?

Yes, yes

Give me some

Sure thing

Cheers

Come on, come, come

Here's the food

Wait

Who brought you here?

I...

I...

You want to be killed?

Alright, that's enough

My shoulder is numb, I can't move anymore

Who said you can assassinate at your father's birthday party

The punishment for assassinating an IO is death sentence for your whole family

Just because your father belongs to the Gang,

you think you can get away with it?

It's still numb

Who ordered you to do it?

Gao Jian-Fu or Pan Da-Wei?

You know them?

No one ordered me

and they wouldn't let me join in

I saw you milling ink for Gao

He's my Master, who teaches me to paint

I was just at the studio looking for him

they said he came here

Then I'll go back and wait for him

I'll go too

Wei-Ru

Brother Wei, you're back

This is Mr Luo from Malaya

Luo Zhung-Huo

Nice to meet you

Come in first

Please

so, you're Mr Pan Da-Wei

Exactly

That's great

I stored some luggage here earlier

Here is a letter from Mr Sun for you

This Mr Sun Wen is...

You don't know him?

Aren't you Pan Da-Wei of the People's News?

Then you should recognize this painting

This painting 'Wilted Chrysanthumum' was your gift to Mr Sun

He asked me to bring it along to Guangzhou, to find you

Come

The Mr Sun you mentioned is Sun Yat-Sin?

I knew you would return tonight

Where are the guns?

I brought them back

How's your situation?

Bullseye at a hundred paces

it wasn't even 10 meters

such a big target and he couldn't even hit him

Master, is Ah-Fai okay?

Just a mere flesh wound

We took him to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place

Well, I'll go back then

Yes, go back

It is quite late

Just around the corner is her Dad's turf

Somebody will take care of her

Goodbye Brother Luo, goodbye Master and Brother Wei

Weren't you the one dancing with Wei-Ru?

Exactly, I am Luo Zhong-Huo

It's getting late already

Right, and I still haven't found a place to stay

If you don't mind, stay here

Please

Why are you doing this?

The painting is authentic

and it's also Mr Sun's hand-writing

But, he may not be authentic

We'll wait and see

All barricades into Guangzhou are under heavy scrutiny

lt'd be very difficult for any weapon to pass through

It was ordered by Ke-Jiang

to stop all assassinations before the rebellion

We don't want to give them any early warning

Li Zhun has spoiled our previous actions

If I had a gun with me tonight

Li Zhun would be dead by now

Then you become tomorrow's headline

Master Painter, Revolutionary Assassin

So what?

It's your birthday today, and I get a gift from you?

That's not right

You're still being cordial with me?

That bullet was meant for...

My Lord

My men recognizes the assassin

he is from Long-Gui Tong

Even if it was a gangland argument

it would still involve the Police

Don't worry

we will investigate this till it's all clear

Thank you for your concern, Lord Li

Liao will escort you home No need

Let him take care of the situation here

I've got men of my own

Alright Lord, take care

Raise the sedan

You mentioned; Long-Gui Tong earlier...

I didn't want Lord Li to be startled

I've thought about it

they knew, the Master of Guang-Xing Tong was hosting his birthday banquet

If any other Tongs dare to cause trouble

then they wouldn't survive in this city anymore

I agree.

So you mean...

the Revolutionaries

That bullet was definitely not meant for you

Wei-Ru

where did you come back from?

Dad

A proper young lady shouldn't be on the streets so late

Didn't you host your birthday banquet tonight?

I was with some classmates having whelks by the river

Big brother

the account books are here

Yes

Brother Liao

I'm dead tired, don't bother me anymore

I heard there was an assassin

I saw you dancing with someone

Where did you go after the gunshot?

Why are you questioning me like my Dad?

I took off when the Lion Dance began

Who likes to watch those old, stuffy things?

Brother Liao, this is your chance to be promoted and get rich

Just think about it,

you're the Third In-Charge of Guang-Xing Tong,

and a Police Inspector

If you were to apprehend the assassin

you would be well rewarded by my Dad and that Lord Li

How did you know we haven't caught the assassin yet?

If the assassin was caught, you wouldn't be so gloomy

I'm going to sleep, goodnight

Mr Luo, come and take a look

What do you think, I painted it with this

Where is my ink pad?

I returned to join the rebellion

I can help with transporting weapons

and communication

Good morning, Brother Luo

Morning

Should you go help Wei-Ru first? The students will be here soon

Yes

Brother Luo you know how to Dim Mak?

Is it that a person can't move after being touched?

That is just an old wives' tale

The body has 8 meridians, 12 vessels, over a thousand accu-points

if any accu-points is stagnant,

health would be affected

that's not fiction, that's traditional Chinese medicine

You know Chinese medicine as well?

The weapons shipped in from Japan

was all thrown overboard by a guy named Chao-something

Come

I heard there was a search on the boat

That Chao-somebody opened the window

and threw out lots and lots of bullets into the sea

Who told you that?

And also, the funds from Nanyang haven't arrived yet

Master and Brother Wei were talking this morning, and they seemed troubled

I have returned to join the rebellion

If there is no money, how do we start a rebellion

Brother Luo

if you were able to get some money

then you would be trusted by Master and Brother Wei?

I get some money?

Yes, get it from my Dad

After all, his money comes to him easily

Opium, gambling, he'll do whatever that's harmful

Why don't we get it from him?

And do some charity for him

Mr Sun mentioned it before,

getting money from the wealthy is a short-cut

Master has tried to ask my dad for money

He didn't get it

That's why you may need to ask someone else to help

Someone else?

My Dad's mistress

Jiang Mei-Xi

When my Dad bought her back,

she was only 15 years old

It was said, that he was her first customer

That night, Dad bought her freedom,

then sponsored her to study and paint

My Dad is mostly mean to everyone

but he never had a temper with her

If any of the guys in the gang caused any problem

She just had to plea for them, and he would let them go

I thought Dad would marry her after my Mom passed away

but he didn't,

and even bought her a small house to live in

Stand still

What are you doing? Selling fruits...

What's inside the basket?

Something for a small business...

Sir!

There are just mangos in the basket,

I'm not hiding anything

Fast, get out of here...

Returning on the third day of marriage?

Yes

Officers, please, a little something for you

get some tea

That's mean, what is this world coming to...

It gets harder and harder to find a way

Thank you You're welcome

Hey mister, who are looking for?

Is Mr Fang here?

Please wait

Miss, there's a man here looking for you

Mr Luo is seeking for Brother Fang

Somebody told me he was here

He's not here today. Would you like to leave a message?

I came to help 'Tzu-Chi Foundation' to build an orphanage

hoping that Mr Fang would be generous

I'm afraid

it's not that easy

Doesn't matter

I'll come back next time. Sorry to bother you

Is this 'Wilted Chrysanthumum' painted by Pan Da-Wei?

That is my duplication

I'd rather die embracing the flowers

There should be another following line

Than to dance with the autumn leaves in the wind

There aren't that many people who knows this poem

So you know Pan Da-Wei...

Yes

Excuse my rudeness

I don't understand why this coffee pot is

Coffee pot?

Right, it's used to brew coffee

You are from Nanyang?

I think you must know English

Yes

I've been looking for an English teacher

and wonder if you can help to introduce someone

Of course, I can

Do you want to learn conversation or reading?

Whatever is fine

as long as it's English

Okay

Please give way

What is that? Open it so I can take a look

What do you want to do?

I'll let them take the merchandise away

Drop a long line, and catch a big fish

Good, very good

Brother Wei

Detained for 2 days,

now they say it's ready to be picked up

Don't bring it here

Take it to Zhang Zhu-Jun's place

Don't they want to refurbish the hospital?

May the yearning love knot be untied

The deeper the love; the deeper the hatred

Dancing slowly as I greet my love

The depth of love is felt and never be forgotten

Have I returned to familiar grounds again

Excuse me

Washing silk by the brook

Adorned in simplicity, a beauty as pure as ice

Like a goddess descended from the skies

Why don't you believe me?

Ke-Jiang seen me before, if not...

Hope you comprehend

The police are on high alert these days

There are lmperial Secret Police everywhere

We have to be very careful

Take a photo of me and show it to Ke-Jiang

If you don't mind, go ahead

Hope I didn't bother you too much

We've finished our conversation

Mr Luo

The incident you talked about last time

Brother Fang is a sentimental person

If you get to know him

and if he likes you

then your orphanage will have a chance

You mean

The day after tomorrow, he'll have a business meeting with a British gentleman

You can go and be his interpreter

of course, he has an interpreter already

but maybe he won't make it

on that day

Do you understand?

Absolutely

Thank you for your concern, Ms Jiang

About that matter I asked of you...

English teacher

If you don't mind, I'd like to recommend myself

That would be great

If I may ask...

Why would you do it for Mr. Pan?

As a nude model

Don't you think this is interesting?

Go quickly

Let go of me, I'm not a Revolutionist

Just because I don't have a queue, it doesn't make me a revolutionist

Go, Stop your chattering, move

there are revolutionists everywhere...

Those officers are useless dealing with the foreigners

but are really good at bullying the common people

Done

What did you do to the interpreter?

Just that his car can't be started

It's just my big brother's car, no worries

He's here

Please wait a moment

Mr Luo

He is my English teacher, Mr Luo

This is Brother Fang

Pleasure to meet you Mr Fang

Mr Luo

Mr Fang needs you urgently

his interpreter couldn't make it at the last minute

No problem

You guys may go

Yes yes

Please take a seat, Mr Luo

Please don't be so formal, call me Zhong-Huo

Well, take your time and talk, I'll go home to wait for you

The car's downstairs, let them take you home

very well

Come

what did you just tell the Brit?

I told him

his merchandise must be very important

But our Chinese Spring Festival

was established thousands of years ago

we can not change that just for one man

See, civility makes a difference

I just spoke two words to him, 'Can not'

yet, he babbled on and translated a long speech for me

Did I make the right connection?

Yes, the right connection

Sit down, Mr Luo

Please take a seat

What treats have you got here?

Mr Luo said, they have

high tea in Malaya too

That's the British way

That's not bad

Got to have some Western snacks with that too

See, I've got no respect when I'm here

My big brother is friendly and approachable, isn't he?

Better than I imagined

That was my teaching material when I was teaching English

Take a look

The letters I know, and the phonics

You've learnt before?

I learned a little bit,

many years ago, but mostly forgotten now

This is pronounced as FREEDOM, correct?

Correct

I can read it, but I don't know what it means

It means, to do whatever you want to do

to be freed from being hungry

Correct

you can only do whatever you want to, when your belly's full from eating

That's just one aspect, keep reading

This, I don't really understand

That is a story from the Buddhist Scriptures

One day, Buddha was standing by a window

suddenly, a pigeon flew in

followed by an old eagle

Buddha said to the old eagle: Don't eat the pigeon

The old eagle said: Fine. Then you cut off some meat for me to eat

and it should be the same weight as the pigeon

Buddha then proceeded to cut some meat from his body

As hard as he tried, he could never match the weight of the pigeon

Buddha awakens

Every life is equally important

You should tell this story to my big brother

Weapons are always used to solve any arguments in the gang

It happens every day

And every time someone dies

it's like their lives aren't valued as a life

I heard the Beggars Gang at Guan Di Temple want to expand their turf

There would be brawls, even if you stepped on his turf

Really?

Come

Wei is rescued when you're here

Not to mention the vegetable cooked along with the meat,

he would take half a day to scrub the pot I cooked with

We vegetarians, would be happy with just a bowl of rice

Brother Wei, Ke-Jiang hasn't replied yet?

Not yet

I heard the Beggars Gang want to expand their turf

How do you know?

I've been associating with Guang-Xing Tong lately

I feel we can get Guang-Xing Tong to

help us in transporting weapons

The Officials never search their boats

Actually, I have an association with Fang

I got a feeling,

we can take advantage of the matter with the Beggars Gang

Fang Hong-Zhi, Wei-Ru's father?

Anything a matter?

Nothing that matters

You were saying the Beggars Gang's expansion, is arousing Guang-Xing Tong

Not at the moment, but it is possible

Good, we'll lend them a helping hand

Hey, beat it, beat it

Those of you who's begging for rice

who allowed you to disturb us here?

All you want is some stinking rice

Boss

Boss

Please give us something to eat

What are you guys doing? What are you doing?

This is Guang-Xing Tong's turf and you dare to make trouble here?

Beat it

Beat it

Then we will go � we will go

That's it, we'll shift Brother Six back here

and take it easy at San Yuan Alley

It may be their strategy to deviate our attention

San Yuan Alley won't be ours when Brother Six leaves

Then who would you suggest?

I can't spare a man. Brother Two's men are watching the smoking dens

Your guys are watching the brothels

Should Big Brother be watching the main street?

Brother Liao

Big Brother, there's a Luo Zhong-Huo outside; asking to see you

Tell him he is busy and has no time

Yes. Wait

Let him come in. Yes

Zhong-Huo, you want something from me?

Please Mr Fang, I'd like to have a word with you

In all these years, no one has dared to cause trouble on my turf

The Beggars Gang has got a death wish

There really is going to be a war

You came to talk to me about this matter

Yes

I've got a solution without any battles

You've got a solution?

Liu Si, the leader of the Beggars Gang,

has a routine for morning tea every day

After morning tea, he would take a stroll

probably to check out his territory

No regular route Yellow rickshaw

How do you know about this?

I've followed him for three days

You

I'm not of Guang-Xing Tong,

so no one is aware of me

He took different routes all three days

but, it's always the same destination

That casino belongs to Long-Gui Tong

He knows you won't do anything at Long-Gui Tong's turf

Because at this time,

you won't risk to have another enemy

but maybe Liu Si will go head to head with you

That's because Liu Si has Long-Gui Tong backing him up

Go on

What I mean is to purposely kill him on Long-Gui Tong's turf

No knife, no gun, no blood

Therefore, Guaang-Xing Tong is not involved in any way

How can it be done?

Get someone to bribe one of the Fan Tan dealers

or sneak one of your guys in, any way we can

Let Liu Si win

two days in a row would be the best

Odd number

And then?

Then it's on to me

I won't kill anyone for you

but he'll be seriously sick,

and be bedridden for at least two months

What would you want in return for helping me?

I'm here to help the Tzu Chi Foundation to establish an orphanage

An orphanage

needs money

Yes, and quite a bit of money

Understood

Three. Three. Three

Yes! Money, money, money

What should we bet on?

Buy two, buy one, buy four

Three means alive. Put it all on Three

Three. Three. Three

Three. Three

Happy New Year.

Wishes of Prosperity, Wealth and Health

Wei and I will host today's New Year's Eve feast,

to make it up to Zhong-Huo

Very well

That's very generous of you. Thank you very much

To realise wrong is to change. Master must set an example

I've got the chicken, duck and fish. Who will kill the chicken?

Him. Him

Me, to kill the chicken? Yes

Gao Jian-Fu

Okay

You are just a vegetarian,

I'll do the killing

Alright. Good good, good

Go and be busy. Good

Is Mr Luo here?

Zhong-Huo, there is someone looking for you

Mr Luo,

my master wants me to deliver this letter to you

Tell Mr Fang, I'll come over after the feast

Very well, I'll run along first

Ke-Jiang has agreed with our plans

He instructed us to be careful

when in contact with Fang's Tong

Fang Hong-Zhi has taken over the Beggars Gang

That may be more beneficial for us

He wants to see me tonight,

to discuss the orphanage

Before, when we left you on your own

sorry about that

When I return, you can do a Chrysanthumum painting for me

I'm going to kill the chicken. Pan Da-Wei, you going to say a prayer?

So many red packets

Zhong-Huo is here. I've been doing this all day, and my back is sore

No wonder Guang-Xing Tong is so vibrant

even the red packets

are handled by the Tong's leader

By your good fortunes

This year, we've taken in two thousand members more

just red packets alone, 20-thousand more is needed

This one is for you

No, no, that's not necessary

This is a Cantonese custom,

all Singles gets one

Are you married?

No

well, thank you Mr Fang

Kung Hei Fat Choi

No matter how it's said, it's still harsh to my ears

Could you change the 'Mister' title?

By age, I'd only be your older brother

Then, thanks very much Brother Fang

That's much easier on the ears

Big Brother

Mr Luo is also here

Big Brother, aren't you done with the stamping yet?

You just hurry me rather than help me

alright, let us talk about the matter of the orphanage

Bring us some tea

Guang-Xing Tong's membership have strengthened this year

We should really do something for charity

Zhong-Huo mentioned an orphanage, that's a great opportunity

That'd be great, if Big Brother really thought that way

I thought Big Brother would take the lead

and I'd go door to door to gather donations

How about this? Let us hold a Charity Auction

How do we do that?

We'll get every wealthy family from the provincial capital

to donate a piece of valuable for the auction

with all proceeds going towards the Tzu Chi Foundation's orphanage

I think it will work

Liao, you go and prepare

for the auction to be held on January 15th

Good

Big Brother,

we'll get Mr Luo to be our consultant

Nonsense. Why would Zhong-Huo roll with us?

Big Brother, by these words; you mean...

Big Brother, you continue the discussion

I'll go and help pass out the red packets

Mr Luo, Happy New Year. May your heart's desires come true

May all hearts' desires come true

Lord...

Better than the last batch

In the new year, the British will have another shipment arriving

Liao

I picked you for the Police

not just for the opium

I understand

Fang Hong-Zhi favours you

because you're connected to me

and I favour you because you're connected to Guang-Xing Tong

The work at the Police Office has to be done

but your position at the Tong

should not be taken away by someone

Thanks for your reminder, Lord Li

Don� t worry, that Luo is no competition to me

Happy Chinese New Year

Same wish to you

Come in

Why are you getting the door? Where's the servant?

I let her go home for the New Year

Who doesn't want to be with their family for the Spring Festival

I am used to being on my own anyway

Have a seat

May I have a cup of coffee?

Coffee beans

You've really got them

I thought you were just bluffing about getting it

Didn't Mr Fang come by?

He came by for a short while on New Year's Eve

Said he'd be busy for the next two days visiting every Tong

Still has to go around to greet the other Tongs, he'll be busy

He'll come by to see you after all his visits

Big brother and I

we're not what you think we are

Check and see if it's okay?

Actually, he has never stayed here overnight

He never has

He told me that

I resemble his younger sister

His sister died of hunger when they were on the run

she died in his arms

He said

I looked very much like his younger sister

That's why he bought my freedom without ever touching me

For these past 15 years

he has always treated me as his sister

But you don't want him to be like just a brother

So you have noticed

I told him I wanted to get married

He asked me who I was going to marry

I told him that I haven't found anyone yet

Actually

I wanted to know how important I am to him

And then?

And then...

I'd be his sister for the rest of my life

Please excuse me for asking you to do this

My pleasure

Are you sure they can see us?

Big Brother always has someone guarding here

Does that prove that I am important to him?

I have always wanted to ask you

Is an orphanage worthwhile for you to

do all these crazy things?

Crazy?

If anything goes wrong

the Beggars Gang will attack and you may be killed

Then, with me standing here

making Mr Fang angry

won't I be killed?

You never thought of that, did you?

It's like when you're flying a kite

you would only look up to the kite

and rarely be aware of the danger awaiting below your feet

No, he won't. Brother Fang is a reasonable man

I know, that's why I dare to stand here

You haven't told me yet

Is an orphanage really that important?

From your perspective,

it may just be a shelter for orphans

But for me,

that's a place where fate can be changed

Children there will not only be well fed, but well kept

they will also learn about looking for things in life,

that are more important than eating and sleeping

Ideals and goals

Then in their pursuit of their ideals and goals

they will change the world

Compared to you, my goal is just mere and minute

Not really, your actual goal for change, too

To change Mr Fang's attitude of life

is to bring change to half of the provincial capital

I forgot to mention

Mr Fang has agreed to help raise funds for the orphanage

There will be a charity auction held on January 15th (Lunar Calendar)

I wonder what I said

Two, Three

Seven pieces more to go

Today's only the third day of the Lunar New Year

Relax Brother Liao,

it'll all be done by the Fifteenth

You all recognize him

Yes, we do

Later, we'll arrest the culprit with the goods

Yes

Obviously, they don't know about their donations

Brother Liao's men told me

all the valuables to be auctioned were stolen

The culprit he has trapped, is you

Your father may not realize

With his concept,

robbery can be taken as a charitable cause

Are you doubting your father's

fundamental ability to differentiate?

Don't you want to know the truth?

I really want to know

Dear Benefactors. Dear Guests

Thanks for your attendance at this charity auction

The charity auction will commence

Coming up, our first valued item; up for bidding today

Wait

since this is a charity auction,

we should introduce our philanthropists first

Mr Luo,

I don't think it's necessary to waste our guests' time

It's more important to promote than just to do charity

How would that waste time?

On behalf of Tzu Chi Foundation,

I'd like to thank Mr Fang Hong-Zhi

Mr. Fang has invited all our benefactors here today

A round of applause to welcome Mr Fang onto the stage

Thank you, thank you everyone for your support

Originally I thought

I would spearhead a donation drive for every family to make a contribution

Then I heard

there were robbers in our provincial capital during the festive season

As you all know,

Brother Liao is a Police Inspector

He hasn't rested during the Spring Festival

and has recovered most of the stolen valuables

So I took the initiative

and used the recovered goods as donation

to this auction

If anyone disagrees,

allow me to make amends first

Our goal is to raise 10-thousand dollars today

It will be great if we accomplish this figure

If not, I will personally make up the difference

Okay

Let's begin

This small time thieving is not our style

You should formally use my invitation and knock on their doors

Do you still need me

to teach you?

If Wei-Ru didn't remind me today

the reputation of Guang-Xing Tong would be all diminished by you

Big Brother

Whatever the consequences, you decide

Get up

Get up and don't be a laughing stock to the others

I've donated three thousand dollars today,

half will be your share

it's not about the money, it's to give you a reminder

Big Brother, Big Brother

Brother Liao, Brother Liao

Go, these are for Big Brother to see

I... l'll go?

If you don't go, should I go for you?

Yes

Go

You don't know this is used to brew coffee?

Good thing Mr. Luo knows

I thought it was some sort of ornament

I am talking to you

I'd like you to set up a meeting for tea with Long-Gui Tong's leader

Long-Gui Tong

That baldy who was blatantly staring at me the last time we had dinner?

Yeah...

I'm afraid of him

You have a few cups of tea with him, then leave when I arrive

He would risk any danger to meet with you

Big Brother tells me to go, then I will go

If he was to get physical, I...

I wouldn't give him that chance

Are you all dressed up to see me today?

I've asked you out a few times and you didn't come

Are you in a better mood now?

That's impossible!

Is it because Jiang Mei-Xi can't possibly die

or that my Dad can't possibly kill her?

Wei-Ru, this is no child's play

Master, I'm not making up stories to entertain you

My Dad, he won't let you go so easily

his next target will be you

Wei-Ru is here

Ke-Jiang's fast

all the weapons and ammunition will be in Hong Kong in a few days

It's a big shipment,

we have to think of a way to bring in that stuff

Also, Tzu Chi Foundation has received the donations

and has written a thank you letter to your father

What happened?

Someone delivered an invitation, and said it was for Zhong-Huo

Wei-Ru is correct

Fang Hong-Zhi has invited him to a lavish banquet

I'll go

Hey, do you have a death wish?

What really happened?

Insane, they're all crazy

You go then

What if there was poison in the tea

Then it will fulfill me and Ms Jiang's destiny

as we'll be a pair of dead love birds

I gave her the name of Mei-Xi

Beautiful, Bright, Pure

You've ruined everything,

and still have the gall to face me

That just says two things

Firstly, I'm hungry

Second, I've nothing to hide

Serve dinner

Please, Mr Luo

These chopsticks...

should strength be applied to both

or just one side?

I can't really use them well

Of course, apply strength to both at the same time

No wonder

But Ms Jiang was always just performing a solo act

She asked for my assistance

Every time I go to her place...

to stop at the doorway

and linger for a little while

And while in her bedroom, to stand right by the window

then occasionally, to make an appearance at the balcony

just to let those guards see us

and then to inform you

She is this chopstick, you are the other

She desperately tried to

do one thing with you as a pair

but you showed no response

What are you talking about?

Speak in a way so that I can understand

Love

Do you understand?

Ms Jiang didn't want to be your sister

She wanted to live like the rumours

that she's your lover, mistress, anything

She didn't want to be just your sister

Was she in need of anything else better?

All these years I have given her whatever she wanted

Pearl, amber, diamonds, what else did she want?

You, she wanted you

She allowed me to help her to put on this act for you

to provoke you,

to stress her importance to you

She succeeded

she just didn't expect an ending like this

Why did she choose you

Because you favoured me

Big Brother

I know this may not be the right time

But I have an urgent shipment from HK which needs to be transported here

Which day

The sooner the better

There'll be a ship returning from Hong Kong the day after tomorrow

That shipment got everything

Guang-Xing Tong doesn't know what it is, they're just responsible for transporting

Early morning on the day after, pick up at Tian Zi Pier

Thank you, Big Brother

Haven't really had dinner, Big Brother will make it up another day

You go first

I want some solitude

The government won't search Guang-Xing Tong's merchandise

But Liao will definitely know what is inside

And he'll definitely take this as his merit to Lord Li

Wei and I have been thinking

we'll use a wedding as a cover

There will be a big shipment

so the wedding party has to be really big

Also the bride needs to be heavy

a fat woman?

Yes, to be able to subdue Liao

How fat does she need to be?

Me?

I'm not fat

But you can subdue Liao

at least he wouldn't dare to do anything when he sees you

He doesn't dare to upset your dad

and then?

You have to choose a husband

Choose me, choose m

Master

I'm also available

Today is the Seventh day since her death

Now you know, my dad is cold-blooded

His way of living has been destined

Sometimes he can't help doing things against his heart

He can choose another way of living

The right to choose is not always within our grasp

Oh yes

Thank you for choosing me to act as your groom

This is just work, it's not for real

But we are more fortunate than Ms Jiang

At least we can experience the feeling of marriage before death

Death?

I've signed up to join the Suicide Squad

Therefore I hope Ms Jiang will bless us from above,

for us to succeed tomorrow

This is the only way we can join the rebellion

Inspector, there are 4 to 5 men who boarded the boat, and haven't returned

No one got into the water, nothing happened

Stay alert. Yes

What is that sound?

Want to fool me with a 'wedding act'?

Ready for action

Yes

Luo Zhong-Huo, this is your death date

Wait till they alight from the boat,

bring some men to intercept them

Yes, Inspector

The bride is coming!

Come, be careful

Come, the bride is coming, be careful

careful

Wait What? Inspector

I said wait, don't you hear me?

How come she's here?

Crazy

Come in and have a seat

Alright, raise the sedan

Inspector,

once they are on the street, it will be hard for us to take any action

No, don't touch the bride,

she's the daughter of Guang-Xing Tong's master

But Inspector, we have an lmperial order

Kill all rebels, no exceptions even if it means killing the innocent

Even killing the innocent.

Do you know who gave you your biddings at the casino?

Even Lord Li wants to take her as his God-daughter

You dare to touch her

Listen, Ah-Jiang

Take some men and bring back that bride's sedan

And take it away as far as you can

Arrest those people, kill whoever resists

Understood

I'm getting married, what is it Sir?

I suspect you to be transporting weapons for the revolutionists

Search them

Sir, revolutionists will be executed

You can't speak lightly of this

I'm sure the proof is right beneath the dowries

What if you cannot find them?

Cannot find them

I will let you go if I cannot find them

You have to honour your words

Reveal the dowries for them to see

Sir

Now will you return my bride back?

Where are the stuff?

What stuff?

Why are you mixed up with these people?

We're just having fun putting on a play-wedding, why can't we?

I'll tell your father, when I get back

Tell him if you like

I know why you're angry

Next time when I put on a play-wedding again, I'll pick you as the groom!

I'm hungry, take me home

Raise the sedan

Watch the Miss closely. If she goes out, tail her tightly

Yes

I was not allowed to kill Lord Li, but here comes this Wan San-Choy

who killed Fu Qi

I think he actually wanted to kill Li,

but killed the wrong person

Delaying the rebellion, for how many days?

Everything has to wait for further instructions from Hong Kong

Wait! We still have to wait again

Their target was not Fu Qi

It was me

Why are the revolutionists so maniacal?

This tells; they plan for something big soon

I am blocking their moves

That's why you have to pay extra attention

and increase manpower at all barricades

I, Li Zhun will be the thorn

in the palm of the revolutionists

My Lord

I have discovered

the secret hiding place for the leaders of the revolution

It's possibly the painting studio at No. 1 Pao Kan Road

Close down the place

Arrest all the people and bring them back

Shift the Patrol teams at Liao Hua Shan and Yin Tong back to the PC

Confiscate all the guns from the New Army

Yes

Open the door, search!

Quickly

You guys come here

I'm sure I saw Miss coming here

I told you to watch her closely

Idiot!

Come. Come. Come.

Put everything in here

over there as well. Ok

Come, we will go this way

Thank you

Is one enough?

That's enough

Brother Ke-Jiang

Zhong-Huo. You are here

I heard you're married

This is the bride

No, no

With tea to drink, this will be just like a Command Centre

Ke-Jiang, you're here

I heard a painter of tigers moved in here too

also, there's a painter of chrysanthumums

Ke-Jiang My good brother

You are here

There's a bomb maker here too

Zhong-Huo, this is the famous bomb maker, Yu Pei-Lun

How are you?

These two are from Fujiang: Lin Wen.

How are you?

Lin Jue-Min. How are you?

This gentleman does not need an introduction

He is the gang's famous son-in-law, Luo Zhong-Huo

Just kidding

nice to meet you

Glad you're here. Nice to meet you

Good, everyone is here, let's go in and talk

Come

Why aren't women allowed?

That doesn't make sense, didn't you say that all people are equal?

Why don't we go and raise a little hell

because I can't join the Suicide Squad anyway

No way

They want me to guard the territory of the Newspaper

I cannot reveal my identity

There'll be a lot of follow-up work after the rebellion

and continue to release the news

Join me for the follow-up work

Follow-up? What is that? I don't want to

Wei, come over

The Chinese in Nanyang are very supportive to us

They receive news from different sources

What does this mean?

Because Fu Qi was assassinated by Wan

the rebellion has to be postponed for 14 days

This telegram is to warn the Yui Xin crew not to come

We still have to delay some more

Li Zhun ordered the confiscation of all guns from the New Army

Without the guns, bullets are useless

Three ships of Qing army will be relocated back to fortify their defence today

They just started to

strengthen their defence these few days

When did we start to prepare?

It took us so a lot of effort to get the weapons here

The Suicide teams from various places

will be arriving these two days

But without any co-ordination from the New Army

We'd be like throwing eggs against rocks

Jiong-Ming and Yi-Shen's message is

To slow down and suspend

To suspend, would mean to disperse

If Jiong-Ming and Yi-Sheng don't want to do it, they can retreat

Whoever doesn't want to do it can withdraw

As a last resort, I can just go to the Chancellor's Mansion

and bomb Zhang Ming-Qi

Is the point of our rebellion to just kill a president or two?

If it was that simple,

we can just kill the Emperor and have it done with

How many times do I have to say it to make you guys understand

Ke-Jiang

If we say the Qing Government had no defence

Do you think we'll succeed?

To succeed is definitely our wish

But we have already failed nine times previously

That's why this time

we shouldn't even think we'll succeed

This is the tenth time

and then, there'll be the eleventh time

and the twelfth

China has been asleep for too long

and cannot be awakened by just a couple of explosions

The reason why we're here,

is to achieve what is unattainable

To sacrifice our lives,

is to inspire our descendants

Pei-Lun said

We have to plan the most glorious funeral for ourselves

The explosions will be our Trophies of Flower

It will be a glorious funeral

It seems like you will all be in this funeral now

On the 27th

the day after tomorrow

Thanks to Heaven and Earth

my efforts for 3 months in making these bombs would have been wasted

When will you be returning this time

I can't say

Our country is in a mess, don't come back if you can't do it

To hell with their mess, we keep drinking and earning our money

Zhong-Huo

I'd like to advise you

The world is like this wine,

it wasn't fermented overnight

and its taste can't be changed

Who said that wine has to be just one flavour

Westerners drink wine, brandy and whisky

I think we should drink whatever we want to drink

Everyone have their own ideals

But you have to remember

Whenever you return,

this seat is always reserved for you

Come

Your words will be in my heart

Big Brother

Can you keep Wei-Ru at home tomorrow?

Why?

She said she wants to run away from home, and come to Nanyang with me

That girl

has been spoilt and getting worse

I'll have her locked up tomorrow

Pei-Lun

Can you handle that many by yourself?

These explosives are nothing

As I toss them out one by one, it will get lighter and lighter

Keep bluffing, just don't bomb yourself

So what? I can handle it even with just one shoulder

Let's go

Be careful! Careful!

Don't think you've written your last will

this is my fourth

I've done three previously

Do you need pen and paper? No

I have written mine in Malaya

I'm drawing this for you

Mr. Sun said you like to draw wilted chrysanthumums

I've changed

Blossoming chrysanthumums

can illustrate their fragrance and grandeur even better

Standing proudly against the southern chills

I have always wanted to ask you why

Why what

To journey thousands of miles to Guangzhou

To raise funds, to buy weapons, and then to die

You don't look like a hot-tempered person

We both clearly know

that Mr Sun's 'Three Principles of the People' has a long way to go

At the moment we were born, we start to lose

we lose our childhood, lose our youth, lose our lover

and keep losing until we lose our lives

What is there to prove our existence?

To prove that we have lived?

A funeral where explosives become Trophies of Flower

It's not an opportunity for everyone

At least during this farce-filled era

We can prove

that our lives are not a farce

If this painting is lucky enough, tomorrow

no, the day after

return it to me

Good

Have you finished the painting?

Almost

Let me brush on a few pieces of stones

Brother Wei

Brother Huang said to bring these letters to you

Your mission is more important than us bombing the Chancellor's Mansion

Wei

We use our bombs

you use your pen

This will definitely be more effective than shouting on the street

Is that right?

Master said you were a teacher in Penang

I have also been a principal of a high school

Principal Luo, I've got a question

Tell me, if there are so many places that you haven� t visited

so many good food that you haven't tasted

and die just like this, won't you regret it?

Even if we visited, we tasted, we still die,

is there a difference?

But, you're not afraid of dying?

Mr Sun once said, to live and to die has been destined

nothing can be done even if one's afraid of it

Understood. I'll go now

Is that how you're going to bid me farewell?

I won't say goodbye to you

Who says I'm still a woman

Wei-Ru

Where are you going dressed like that

Nowhere

Then come and spend some time with me

Then I'll go and change

Why do you lock me up, open the door!

Somebody, open the door!

Auntie Huang, it's an emergency, let me out!

Somebody help! Why do you lock me up?

You're back

Dad, open the door, open the door, let me out!

Dad, open the door!

Yi Ying my beloved

I write this letter to bid farewell forever

At the time of this writing, I'm still amongst the living

But by the time you read this, I'll be a ghost amongst the living.

Dad

I haven't bid farewell to them yet

I still haven't said goodbye to Brother Luo

Open the door, Dad!

Dad, open the door.

Brother Wei

Come in

How is the situation?

Master will provide cover for Brother Huang to leave the Capital

But we haven't heard any news from Brother Luo yet

The gates of the Capital only allow departure and no entry

Have some food first

My reporter's credentials and camera

I'll find out more as a reporter

no one will do anything to me

you should return and wait for my news

Brother Wei, I want to wait here

Have you eaten?

I'm not hungry, Auntie Wei

Is there anything I can help with?

Just waiting without doing anything makes me mad

Let's say some prayers

Can they really hear it?

At least we can hear it ourselves

Praying can at least calm ourselves down

After waiting for three days without your return

I asked Wei-Ru to go home first

How is it?

The corpses lie exposed outside of the Information Bureau

It is still raining outside

I used my father's reputation to

ask Guang-YanSin Tong to use Hunghua Gang

The government reluctantly agreed to have them buried there.

I'm going now

You're going now?

Wait a minute

Here's some money

Here's some mothballs

Bring an umbrella

Yi Ying my beloved

I write this letter to bid farewell forever

At the time of this writing, I'm still amongst the living

But by the time you read this, I'll be a ghost amongst the living

My tears are mixed with the ink I write

Not knowing what to write, I lay down my pen

Yet you may misunderstand my dilemma

and think I desert you

Knowing well you don't want me to leave

So I endure my pains for you to let you know
