(hammer clanging)

- [Mo] Please make a knife for me.

(eerie music)

I want it made like this.

- Sorry, my skill isn't up to that.

- (chuckles) Don't be so modest.

There's many blacksmiths
and I've tried them all.

But when it comes to making weapons,

none of 'em are as good as you are.

(hammer clanging)

(suspenseful music)

Listen, I've got the money. Don't worry.

- You're mistaken. I'm not
your man, I'm very sorry.

- Everybody knows that Qiu Zi Yu

is the fighting world's best weapon maker.

You made weapons for all
the country's top fighters,

but then you suddenly disappear.

For three years, men have sought you.

I have too for many months,
so you can't turn me down.

(furniture banging)

(suspenseful music)

- You have the wrong man. I
just make tools, not weapons.

- Look, I told you, I want a knife.

You make it for me and it won't
disgrace you. I promise you.

And if you refuse me,
I'll kill your apprentice.

- Kill an unarmed boy?

A famous fighter like Mo
Jun Feng wouldn't do that.

- Wrong.

- You won't.

- What's your answer?

- But I just told you, I can't do it.

(carriage clacking)

(hammer clanging)

- Hey, you blacksmith.
This axle needs fixing.

- Hmm, it does. It's broken.

- A big job?

- Take a day.

- Do it as fast as you can.

Mo Jun Feng?

- Xiao Qiang, why you here?

(lighthearted music)

- And you?

- Just passing through.

- Is that so?

I heard that lots of
fighters are hunting you.

They find you and you're dead.

- Me? No way, huh.

- Normally, I would agree.

Your seven flying knives are
famous. Everyone knows them.

Mo Jun Feng's knives are as
deadly as Xiao Qiang's smile

and my smiles are very deadly.

- I'm honored.

- But I still have smiles.

Your knives have been lost

and Mo Jun Feng without his
knives doesn't scare anyone.

(dramatic music)

Hmm.

And finding Qiu Zi Yu won't help you.

- Qiu Zi Yu, know him?

- Three years back, he made
a special sword for somebody.

(dramatic music)

(sword clacking)

- (laughs) My friend,
it's good. You are great.

- And in light technique,

they say that you are the greatest.

No one can beat Yan Zi Fei.

(sword clacking)

(gentle music)

- No need to remind me.

I know your rule and how you work.

You told me once when you make a weapon,

you insist that the bar
teaches you his special skill,

and I will.

- Well, thank you.

(Yan Zi Fei chuckles)

(sword clanging)

(Yan Zi Fei groaning)

(chair clattering)

- [Xiao] Qiu Zi Yu was wounded

and just got a cut on his chest.

He can move quite quickly,
but still since then,

he's retired from the weapon business.

You've a problem that only I can solve.

“ YOu?

- Mm.

Let's make a deal, all right?

- What deal?

- It's a big deal and I
need a good man to help me.

An assistant.

- Huh? Miss, you've gotten a big head.

I won't be anybody's assistant.

- If you help me, I shall give
you seven knives in payment.

- Hey, Mister, this way please.

(gentle music)

(suspenseful music)

- [Xiao] Mo Jun Feng?

(gentle music)

- Oh God, I've stolen his knives,

same as signing my death warrant.

What do I do?

- Now then, what's the deal?

What do you want?

- Apart from killing
people, what can you do?

I want somebody killed. It's very simple.

- Who are they?

- There are four.

(object smacking)
(victim shrieking)

The first one, his name's Zhen Peng.

And then Zhen Liu-Xiang.

And then-
(fighter groaning)

(dramatic music)

And Zhen Liu-Xiang.
(victim shrieking)

(weapon clanging)

(dramatic music)

- Well, that stone, the
famous harmony jade.

- [Bystander] It's called
that because of its shape

and because of its precise dimensions.

It was a Han treasure.

It was kept in the Royal Museum.

- I hear it's worth a
lot, half a million tael.

- Well, to the right buyer, it might be.

- But can you tell me
how we split it, huh?

- We split it four ways
once we've sold the thing.

- Well, once we've split it
four ways, it won't be much.

- The escorts we stole it from

were employed by Mr. Nan Yu

and he's a great fighter so I hear.

He's head of five clans and
he has a lot of men too.

So for so little cash,
it wasn't worth the risk.

- Qiang Po is right.

- It seems that you two
don't want to split it.

So I have an idea.

The four of us will gamble for it.

The winner gets the jade for himself.

- I agree.

I take it you're with her.

- (chuckles) Sure, sure.

' QianQ PO, you?

- I agree.

But still, with those stakes,
who will run the game?

That's a big bet.

- I know a gambler. He's
known as the Golden Lion.

(dramatic music)

- Mao Kai Yuan, that one?

— Yes.

Mao Kai Yuan's a top gambler.

He ran a place in Canton, made a fortune.

But now, he's moved, built a place here.

It's big and plush.
People call it Lion Manor.

- Hmm.

- So the four bandits all
agreed that they would gamble

for the jade at his place

and Mao's supposed to run the game.

I understand they'll meet there very soon.

- Well then, there's no need to kill them.

Once their game is over, they'll
kill each other. (laughs)

After that, there'll be
no one left, not one.

- Oh yes, there will.

There'll be one left.

And that's the gambler,
Mao Kai Yuan. (chuckles)

- And if all of those
should fail to get the jade,

then maybe I can.

(dramatic music)

- Kuo-Yung.
(dramatic music)

Peng Hu.

(dramatic music)

- Zhen Xiang.

(upbeat music)

Zhen Xiang, is everything ready?

- We are all ready to
entertain your guest.

If you don't trust me, why hire me?

- But this is not an
ordinary guest, this special.

- Don't tell me that you're scared of him.

Well, I can see why, those
four are very dangerous.

And it won't be too easy
to take that jade away.

- Huh? Where does that leave you?

- Once the game starts,
my job is finished.

So if you don't mind, I'd like my pay now

'cause bloodshed makes me sick.

- Right.

Then I'll give you a bank draft.

- I'd like the cash.

- You don't trust me?

- I trust you.

But still, if you were
to die, well then what?

Curse, the bank might not pay
the draft. Where would I be?

(dramatic music)

(knife whirring)

(gentle music)

(knife whirring)

(stalk clattering)

- Yun Xiang.

(knife whirring)

- When she's 10 feet away?

Gives the word and then
my knife will kill her.

(stalk clattering)

- Good.

- Hold it.

My pay, in full, and right now.

- Yun Xiang, you were
just a beggar in Canton

and I picked you up and
put you on my payroll.

And since then-

- Hey, you, I've killed 10 men.

You kept me for 10 years.

Huh, I reckon that makes us even.

- Right. Agreed.

But why do you insist on cash?

- Huh?

I hear that Mo Jun Feng and
Xiao Qiang have arrived in town.

Huh, I'm afraid you may
not be around too long.

(knife whirring)

(stalk clattering)

(Xiao laughing)

- Huh, well, with an attractive laugh,

I knew that it could only be Xiao Qiang.

So Xian, what can I do for you?

- Just want to introduce my friend.

(dramatic music)

- A young man with a long
whip and he's your friend.

So he can only be Whipper Tang.

- Well done, you're quite right.

Now tell me something,

did you know Qiu Zi Yu isn't dead?

- I didn't.

- Well, right now he's in some
tiny village not far away.

He's working there as a blacksmith.

But he only makes tools,
refuses to make any weapons.

- Well, that's good.

That means that no one
else can ever have a sword

just like mine.

- But still, I want him
to do something for me.

And for that, I'll need something,

something I shall have to borrow from you.

So then you fight my
friend and if he wins,

I'll borrow what I need.

- Well, all right.

And if your friend wins, you
borrow whatever you like,

even my head.

- Your head I don't want,
I only want your hand.

(Yan Zi Fei groaning)

(dramatic music)

(hammer clanging)

Blacksmith, what do I owe you?

- One tael.

(hammer clanging)

- How much would you want

to make some knives for Mr. Mo in cash?

- Knives? I don't make.

- Qiu Zi Yu, I know you've
a big problem over weapon,

but I have a present that'll cure you.

(dramatic music)

Now look closely. Whose hand is that?

This is the hand

that sliced open your
chest three years ago.

(suspenseful music)

- Three years, huh?

(somber music)

Well, if Qiu Zi Yu doesn't exist,

then the man who's standing
in front of you now

is an ordinary blacksmith

and he doesn't make weapons now.

(hammer clanging)

- Xiao Qiang.

(hammer clanging)

Let's go.

- You give up?

- He won't do it. He's
through with weapon.

(dramatic music)

(hammer clanging)

(dramatic music)

- Yan Zi Fei, why you here?

- Who asked three questions?

(hammer clanging)

Xiao Qiang been here?

- Mm-hmm.

(hammer clanging)

- What did she bring you?

(hammer clanging)

- One hand. Your hand.

(hammer clanging)

- Do you hate me?

- No.

(hammer clanging)

- Why not?

'Cause I almost killed
you with your own sword,

and ever since that time,
you've been hiding out.

Why don't you hate me?

- Sorry, you said three questions
and I've answered three.

(hammer clanging)

- Hey you, we wanna talk to him privately.

(hammer clanging)

Mr. Nan said he wants to see you,

(hammer clanging)

so you come with us.

- He's a famous man,
respectable, head of five clans.

He wouldn't kidnap a man.

- He's given me orders,
fetch you. So you'll come.

- Have to kill me first. Huh?

(hammer clanging)

- Got a rake?

- Sure.

(hammer clanging)

- It looks pretty good, how much?

(rake clanging)

(soldiers groaning)

(rake clanging)

Huh, a good weapon. It kills well.

Qiu Zi Yu, you claim that you
don't make weapons anymore,

that's not true.

I mean this rake is a real deadly weapon.

Ha.

(Qiu Zi Yu groaning)

(hammer whirring)

(roof clattering)

You see?

That big hammer you're
swinging, that's a weapon too.

I mean if you'd hit me with that, oh.

(hammer clanging)

(rake clanging)

(Qiu Zi Yu groaning)

Hold it, those fists
are deadly weapons too.

And therefore, you really
should cut 'em off.

- Who are you?

- Now, come on. You know the
fighters' world pretty well.

You really should know.

- Well, I did hear recently
of a young new fighter,

very fast, very cocky.

And I think his name is Wu Ho.

- Well, that's pretty smart.

Qiu Zi Yu, I think you
should drop all this

and get back to your
trade, making weapons.

- Damn you.

(fists clapping)

(gentle music)

(fighters laughing)

(drum booming)

(dramatic music)

Mr. Nan?

- Mm.

- You want me.

- All I want is a talk.

Kuo Chue, we must talk in private.

- You sent four men.

- Yes, I know, that man Wu Ho killed,

I'll have all their bodies collected.

(dramatic music)

(birds tweeting)

Amongst other things, I
have an escort company here.

And at one job, my men were robbed

of a precious piece of jade,

there were four people involved in it.

I know who they all are and
roughly where they can be found.

But nevertheless, I
won't move against them.

If I did so, it could start big trouble

with all the clans of
the bandits concerned.

So what I want now is an
outsider to tackle the job.

I know that you were a
maker of fine weapons

for all the clans,

but that now your
conscience made you retire.

But still, when used
properly and in a good cause,

there can be nothing bad
about a weapon itself.

In such a case, a weapon
is a force for goodness.

And it would be a real waste of your skill

if your conscience held you
back in a case like that.

- Mr. Nan, I have no
interest now in the clans

or their doing.

- All right, but if you change your mind,

go to East Point, someone
will contact you there.

(birds tweeting)

(gentle music)

- Zhen Xiang.

- Hey, you seduce Xiao
Qiang or did she seduce you?

(jug clanging)

When we were together
before, you were famous,

but now you've lost all your knives.

But I've come back because
I'm still true to you.

So let's meet up tonight.

I'm staying at the inn,
upstairs, last room. See you.

(hammer clanging)

- Xiao Hong.

- Well now, you're still so fast,

though you're working
as a simple blacksmith.

- (sighs) Now tell me, why are you here?

- Father brought me.

- He's here?

- Hmm.

(gentle music)

- Qiu Zi Yu, I found you,
but still, took me a while.

(gentle music)

- But who can hide from
you, Inspector Xiao?

Come to arrest me?

- Arrest, what have you done?

I'm here to investigate the robbery

of a piece of precious jade

and I know that Mr. Nan has
just talked to you about it.

And I'm also aware that he
asked you for your help.

I'm hoping you'll agree to help him.

- Sorry.

- Not even as a favor to me?

“ YOu?

- Chue, just this once.

- Well, in what way?

- By helping me to get
the jade back to Mr. Nan.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(dog barking)

- Xiao Qiang can't help you at all,

only I can help you to get
your special knives back again.

- Anyone who does that, my friend.

- Really? Forget the past.

- Forget it.

- I better get back or
else someone might get mad.

(dramatic music)

(fan clacking)

All right, you. Come on, it's me.

- (gasps) My God, you brought me trouble.

I stole Mo Jun Feng's seven knives,

I never knew they were his.

How could I know they were his?

Ai yo, how could I know?

Oh God, I feel (indistinct).

- Stop faking. You're not sick.

(chuckles) You did make a mistake.

But still, don't you worry,
Mo Jun Feng doesn't know.

The knives.

(knives clanging)

- Hey, hey, what? What about a reward?

- I know what you'd like to
have, but I'm not giving that.

Here.

(Zhen gasping)

- (chuckles) You see?

(chuckles) I knew you
meant to give it to me.

So then I helped myself. (chuckles)

(drum booming)

' It's?

- I'm Whipper Tang.

- Xiao Qiang's driver.

(whip clapping)

- And that should
demonstrate I mean business.

(whip clapping)

- Well, what you want?

- Just keep away from Mo Jung Feng.

- I need a man.

- Try elsewhere.

- But who?

Well, of course, there's you.

(whip clanging)

(Whipper Tang gulping)

(dramatic music)

(Whipper Tang groaning)

(dramatic music)

Inspector Xiao.

- Killers must die. That's the law.

- And since you're a
conscientious policeman,

I will have to die.

- But still, you could
also claim self-defense.

He tried to rape you.

- I get it.

So whether I die will depend on you.

Right?

What's your terms?

- Take me to Mao's place
to watch the gambling.

- That's dangerous.

- I shall take the risk.

- Mao's asked you to take some girls

to entertain the guests.

You won't look too close at
those girls, all right? You-

- I've got no choice 'cause
I don't want to hang.

I'll do it, all right?

- That's good. Now I'll take you.

(dramatic music)

- I'll be going. You'll be all right.

(shoes clacking)

- Waiter, some wine.

- Mr. Chue, this is the doctor.

- Doctor, how's your patient?

- Oh, if everyone was as fit
as him, I'd be in trouble.

That old man is fitter than I am.

It's not easy to make a
living here. (chuckles)

- Do something for me. Find Xiao Tang.

- Qiu Zi Yu doesn't run
errands for anybody.

- Is that so? You admit
now you're Qiu Zi Yu.

(Yan Zi Fei laughing)

(Yan Zi Fei muttering indistinctly)

- (laughs) Good news. (laughs)

Good news, (chuckles),

somebody just killed
Whipper Tang. (laughs)

- Tang is dead?

- Right, I just saw his body
laid out in the attic. (laughs)

- And so you're pleased.

- Why? Of course.

If he hadn't held my hand,
you could not have cut it off.

I'd like to talk to you. Come with me.

- What do you want?

- You don't hate me?

- Past has passed. I don't.

- I've been thinking about my life.

I know I've done bad things,

but now I'd like to start afresh.

- That's good. I'm pleased to hear.

- But still, I need two hands for that.

Only you can help me there, no one else.

Your talent and all your skills
could help me to start anew.

You could make me a new
hand and give me fresh hope.

You could do it. You
could make a perfect hand.

Listen, I know I harmed you,

still, I've really repented now, help me.

- Right, I'll help.

In three days, I shall
make you an iron hand,

but still on one condition,

you must do something for me now.

(head clacking)

- Anything you say.

- Ah, so clumsy.

You must keep your balance
or else the tea will spill.

(hand clapping)

- Oh.

- I've told you many times,

these guests you'll serve are special

and anything could happen.

And whatever you see, you
just forget. Got that?

Have you?

— Yes.

- You, be real careful.

Once they're gambling,

there'll be only you to serve the guests.

- Right.

(gentle music)

- You one of Shuang Shuang's girls?

- Mm-hmm.

- What's your name?

- Xiao Hong.

- Xiao Hong?

Xiao Hong, well, that name's quite pretty.

- Are you in charge of the garden?

- Amongst other things.

- You must be clever then.

(gentle music)

- How did you meet Zhen Xiang?

- I was brought up by her.

- Huh? So she adopted you?

- No, she just looked after me.

What do you do?

- You'll be scared if I say.

- I won't, I promise you that.

You see, I dare touch your hand.

- I'm a killer, a paid killer.

- You must be good at kung fu, an expert.

- Xiao Hong, I'm a killer, a bad man.

- Well, that's just a point of view.

I don't think you're bad.

(gentle music)

- When do you leave?

- I don't know.

She said I should stay to
serve some special guests.

- Tell her, get someone else.

Those guests are bad
people. You're too young.

- But still, someone must
stay, may as well be me.

- Well, you're very loyal.

Still, when they're gambling,
anything could happen there.

You might be in danger.

But still, I'll keep an eye
on you and I'll protect you.

(gentle music)

(container clacking)

- Master, a visitor.

" Who?

- Killer knife, Mo Jun Feng.

(dramatic music)

- All right then, bring them in.

- Sir.

(door clacking)

(dramatic music)

- You can stay here
behind the door and watch.

I throw the cup, you kill him.

Don't worry, I'll pay you.

(dark music)

(door clacking)

(dark music)

(chuckles) Mr. Mo.

(Mao muttering indistinctly)

(dark music)

How's things?

- I'm fine.

- (laughs) And how can I help you then?

What's on your mind?

- [Mo] (chuckles) I came to wish you well.

I know you have a big deal lined up here,

and very soon, some
special guests are coming.

- Rumors travel fast.

There's no big deal, just
some friends coming here.

I'm just giving them a dinner.

- I hear Zhen Xiang will entertain them

and make them all comfortable
and they're going to gamble.

The stakes are high,

an extremely valuable piece of old jade.

Isn't that a big deal?

- What do you want?

- What do you think? I want a cut.

- I think you want to
take back those words

or else I'll get mad.

(dramatic music)

- No need for that, there's
no point. Let's just talk.

- Mo Jun Feng, I know
you've lost your knives.

And without those knives. (chuckles)

- You mean I'm just like a
sheep amongst then, all right?

But still, my knives have been returned.

- Is that true?

- I know you're a gambler.

(dramatic music)

- Well, if you want a cut,
then show me your knives first.

(cup clanking)

(dramatic music)

- Hmm, I've told the truth.

You'll have to take my word.

I'm in town, come and see me. Ai.

(dramatic music)

(door clanging)

(door clanging)

- And why didn't you give me the signal?

- I just saved your life.

- You did?

- Sure. He's got his knives back now.

I'm certain, he wasn't bluffing

and you just aren't his match.

(gentle music)

(suspenseful music)

- You're a famous knife man.

- Not bad.

- Would you mind telling me

how a knife man becomes so famous?

- By killing a lot of men.

- Huh, wrong.

In my view, just one man will do,

assuming, of course, it's the right man.

(dramatic music)

- Well, if that's what you want.

Hmm, right, you start
first. You're the youngest.

(knife whooshing)

(knives clanging)

(knife whooshing)

(knives clanging)

(knives clanging)

(dramatic music)

- Enough.

- Why?

(gentle music)

- Oh, you could get hurt
and I wouldn't want that.

- He's your man, but I'm not though.

- I don't want any trouble.

(knives clacking)

(gentle music)

Yun Xiang, go back in.

(knives clanging)

(dramatic music)

- Who do you want me
to kill? Come on then.

- You don't have to kill.

Just watch someone and
stop them from butting in.

" Who?

- Xiao Qiang.

- Huh, you're smart, use one
enemy to cancel another one.

- 10,000 silver pieces.

- Handling Xiao Qiang isn't easy.

- If you drug her food,

after that, she's no problem. (chuckles)

(hammer clanging)

- Huh?

What's this?

Making an armored hand?

Huh, now look, I wanted some
knives, but you said no.

- Oh? You got your knives.

- Listen, from now on, you'll
make me whatever I want you to

or else I'm going to kill you.

You hear me?

- You go to hell.

(knife whooshing)

Mo Jun Feng, forget it.

If you don't, you'll wind up like before.

(dramatic music)

(knives clanging)

(hand clanging)

- Huh?

- I'll leave you with three
knives, that should be enough.

- Now look, I'd like to be your friend.

- Why is that?

- Being your foe isn't too good.

- (chuckles) Listen,
there's no lasting friends

or lasting enemies.

(shoes clacking)

(dramatic music)

- Sit down.

(entrant groaning)

Now you must admit that's not friendly.

(sword clanging)

Who sent you?

- I did.

- Hmm.

- I wanted him to test your skill.

- Satisfied?

- Sure I am.

- And now, would you mind
telling me what you're after?

- The jade, and we two,
together, I know we can get it.

- Maybe so, but still,
after we do, what then?

- It's yours.

' Hmm?

- And all that I own is yours too.

- Oh, what do you get?

- You.

- (chuckles) I'm willing,
but still, there's a problem.

- Oh? Mo Jun Feng?

Well, let me tell you
something, you better watch him.

(eerie music)

Well, that's the truth. I assure you.

And when he gets back, you'll find out.

- I'm grateful to you for the warning.

What do we do?

- Well, I shall arrange for
you to come to my place.

We can handle those four.

- Mm.

(gentle music)

- Xiao Qiang,

Yun Xiang's here and Wu Ho.

So two are here.

- That's it?

- When they arrived, they got
together and had a long talk.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

- [Xiao] Huh? What's this say?

Looks like medicine.

- [Mo] (chuckles) Right, for stomach.

- That so? You got stomach trouble?

Right, I'll get some water.

_ Hey. HEY.

Huh? Xiao Qiang, what's this?

(dramatic music)

- Huh, your girlfriend
got your knives back then.

Well, all right.

(dramatic music)

(hoofs clattering)

(dramatic music)

- Chang Po.

You're very punctual today.

- Since I got the jade,

if I was late, you'd be
worried in case I crossed you.

(rider laughing)

(dramatic music)

- Well that's good to see you.
- Been a long time.

- Please.

(dramatic music)

Listen, I just heard from the servants

that Wu and Lin Xiang came early.

I think they may be plotting.

- They wouldn't dare try anything with us.

- Hmm. You can never tell.

- Please.

Please.

- Well, you are here first.

- Is it done?

(cups clinking)

- Would you all like to
go into the living room?

And when the dinner's
ready, I'll call you.

- Good.
- All right.

- Zhen Xiang.

' Hmm?

- Well, Mr. Mo, that's very
kind to bring her here for me.

- (chuckles) Go please.

- Right.

- Listen, Zhen Peng's looking pretty smug,

he may try something.

- Hmm.

- I think I'll watch him real close.

(gentle music)

- Mo Jun Feng.

(gentle music)

(fingers thudding)

(gentle music)

- I don't know what to say.

- Well, I know what you should.

- Go on, I'm listening.

- Don't trust girls.

- Xiao Qiang's smile is a lot
more deadly than my knives.

What's the time?

- After three.

- The four have come?

- They're all here with
a whole bunch of men.

In all, must be 30.

- Well, without my knives,
I'm through. I can do nothing.

- You have three.

- They're good, better than the old ones.

You are the best blacksmith.

- I owe you three. That's that.

(gentle music)

Hmm.

Your hand is all ready.

And this hand has many uses for guarding,

boxing, wrestling, or gripping an enemy.

It can also throw missiles,
the spring loading.

- Listen, I don't know how to thank you.

- But still, I'll only give it to you

on a certain condition.

- Just tell me, I'll do it.

- I'll show you how it works
and all of its functions.

It may take a while, but then
you'll make it do anything.

Now what I want is your company,

we're going to someone's
place, but not invited.

(gentle music)

- Please excuse me.

But dinner's almost over.

- Mm.

- You're on your own
then, just remember there.

- Mm-hmm.

- Take care.

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

- [Guest] Hmm.

(dramatic music)

- Shuang Shuang always
gets the prettiest girls,

what's your name?

- Xiao Hong.

- Huh, Xiao Hong is our
hostess's best girl.

When we start the game,
she'll be serving us alone.

- And when we've finished,
she'll serve just one man.

" Who?

- Master Chin.

'Cause Master Chin likes them fresh.

And just look at her young
face. She's really fresh.

(guests laughing)

- Well now, are you ready?
I think we should start now.

(dramatic music)

- My job's finished. It
seems you are all set.

And I hope that it all
goes well from your side.

Me, I'll go now.

- Ai.

(dramatic music)

Here's a bonus for you.

(dramatic music)

- Thank you.

(dramatic music)

- Get her.

(dramatic music)

- Why didn't you kill?

(dramatic music)

- That flower, it saved you.

And bear in mind, it could
easily have been a knife.

(dramatic music)

- Now please check it out.

— Nonsense.

If you weren't trusted,

we wouldn't have picked you
to handle a game for us.

- Right. Well then, what's the game?

- We agree to use dice.

Whoever guesses right
gets the jade for himself.

(dice clattering)

- Before we start, where's the jade?

We at least should see it first.

- Well, all right. Come in.

(doors clacking)

(ominous music)

(weapon clanging)

(weapon banging)

- Chin's hammer is very famous,

scares everyone, that is except for me.

- While we gamble, you keep watch.

And if any intruders
come in, you kill them.

' [All] Sir.

(doors clanging)

(harp chiming)

(pensive music)

- Well, let's bet. I bet.

(pensive music)

Fire.

(weapon whooshing)

- Hsing-Lung.

(weapon whooshing)

(pensive music)

- I'll bet-
(fist thudding)

(pensive music)

- I never carry weapons.

- Well, that just leaves (indistinct).

(hairpin whooshing)

(hairpin banging)

- Close.

You don't need a weapon.

Your fists are the most
deadly weapons there are,

and Liu-Xiang's poisoned
air been close second,

we all know that.

And if you two ganged up
here, we'd have no chance.

(dice clanging)

- Right.

(harp chiming)

(dramatic music)

- The dice never lied.

You can see who's won. It's the tiger.

- I won.

(weapon clanging)

(suspenseful music)

(body banging)

(dramatic music)

(weapons whooshing)

(participant groaning)

- But Zheng.

But why?

- He must have fixed it somehow.

- No way.

And if he had meant to
steal it, then why come?

Makes no sense.

- He meant to kill us if he lost.

That's why he had his
guards waiting outside.

And I'm sure they had their
orders to kill the three of us.

- Well, where are they now?

- Hmm.

(guards laughing)

(suspenseful music)

(swords whooshing)

(perilous music)

- Take those bodies away.

(soldiers muttering indistinctly)

(weapon clanging)

(doors clanging)

- Now then, what about the jade?

- Play again.

- I'm sorry, do you mind?

- I'll bet Xiang Lo.

(weapon banging)

- Wu Ho and I bet the same.

But still, if we should win,

are we just allowed to
walk off with the jade then

or get killed, just like Xiang Pa was?

- Well, I know you two have joined forces

and I'm not so stupid.

I know if I took you on, then you two

could easily finish me.

- We've an agreement,
like you and Xiang Pa,

except you double crossed him.

Now you're all alone.

- Hmm, well, providing that you abide

by the house rules, I'll keep it up.

- That's good. Let's start.

(dice clanging)

(dramatic music)

- The dice never lie.

You can see what's won. It's the tiger.

- Again? It can't be.

- Oh sure it can.

I remember once in Canton,

the same side came up 37 times running.

- Since nobody has won, we
shall have to trouble you again.

- Hmm, I don't think so.

As nobody has won, then it
means the house has won.

Hmm, that all right?

- What is this? That wasn't agreed.

- Yes it was.

I told you you'd have to
abide by the house rule.

- Hmm. (indistinct), you're
real dumb. Don't you get it?

Mr. Mao just used you
to eliminate Zhen Peng.

And now then, he's
going to take Yun Xiang.

(Mao laughing)

- You'll never get the jade out of here.

There's not a chance.

But I'll give you some money for the road

and I'll let you leave here.

Incoming, I'll be back.

Xiao Hong, serve our guests with some tea.

— Yes.

(dramatic music)

(fists whooshing)

(gentle music)

(doors clanging)

(fist banging)

(weapons whooshing)

(Mao groaning)

(pensive music)

(fighters groaning)

- All Qiang's kicks and Mao's
fists look pretty dangerous,

they're more than our match.

So let's go now, huh?

(fighters groaning)

- You forget my six guard.

- (laughs) You're wrong.

Zhen Pa had eight and you
six, I fixed them all.

(doors clanging)

(perilous music)

(fists whooshing)

(participant groaning)

(dramatic music)

(Xiao chuckling)

- Don't go yet, Miss Zhen Liu-Xiang.

You have something I want.

- Huh, yes, she's right.
Just put the jade back.

- All right.

I want no trouble. It
seems I've lost, I'll go.

(hairpin whooshing)

(Xian wincing)

- Wu Ho, you stop Mao.

(participant groaning)

(fists banging)

Well then, 'cause your smile is famous,

tell me, can you still smile?

(guest groaning)

(drum booming)

(dramatic music)

(Mao muttering indistinctly)

(weapon whooshing)

(soldiers groaning)

(Mo groaning)

(swords whooshing)

- Mo Jun Feng, thanks
for killing Liu-Xiang.

I have a reward for you, your knives.

(drum booming)

(Xian wincing)

(knife whooshing)

(soldier groaning)

(knife whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(knife whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(sword whooshing)

(knife whooshing)

(soldier groaning)

(dramatic music)

(doors clanging)

(gentle music)

- Mo Jun Feng, you're
pretty fast, but I'm faster.

- Don't forget, I'm still armed.

- (laughs) But still, just one knife.

Unless you can kill me
with that, you're finished

'cause I'll kill you.

Even wounded, I'll get you.
Huh, so it's up to you.

If you're confident, go
ahead and see what happens.

- What do you want?

- Mao Kai Yuan helped me once,

and although I've paid him
back, I still must protect him.

As for you, one day, we'll
have a contest to the death.

- Good, agreed.

- Why don't you kill
him to avenge Liu-Xiang?

Now go on.

(fighter groaning)

(fists banging)

- Xiao Hong.

(fists banging)

(fighters groaning)

Mao Kai Yuan, you can leave.
I'll watch 'em for you.

- Yun Xiang, Mao can leave the jade.

- Mao Kai Yuan, leave the jade.

(dramatic music)

- Why?

- 'Cause Xiao Hong wants it, put it back.

(gentle music)

(fighters groaning)

Xiao Hong, I know Mao Kai Yuan's no good,

but still, I just can't kill him.

(dramatic music)

- Well, you won't have to.

(dramatic music)

(hand clanging)

(fighters groaning)

(dramatic music)

(fighters groaning)

(dramatic music)

(fists whooshing)

(fighters groaning)

(knife whooshing)

(knife clanging)

- (laughs) My iron skin can't be hurt

by your flying knives. (groans)

(fists banging)

(fabric screeching)

(fists whooshing)

(fists banging)

(weapon clanging)
(dramatic music)

- Wu Ho, your iron skin is very good,

can resist most things, even knives,

but not knives catapulted by my springs.

You were just too greedy.
Had to have the jade.

That's why you're dead now.

(drum booming)

Fei, you fast.

- You told me I was to
protect the jade, so I did.

- And you're gonna use that to kill me.

(suspenseful music)

(knife whooshing)

- Yun Xiang, Qiu Zi Yu is
the only good man here.

(suspenseful music)

- Xiao Hong, you tell
your friend to keep out.

I'm going to gamble with Mao
Kai Yuan here a little bit.

(dramatic music)

(knife whooshing)

(dramatic music)

- On what?

- On your life of course.

(dramatic music)

- Listen, thank you for those knives.

- That's all right.

You used the knives well against evil.

I should thank you.

(gentle music)

- Are you sure (chuckles) you want this?

I'm an expert gambler.

- You see this?

A metal plate with two sides.

Put it in the box and cover it.

If death comes up, you die.

But if it's life, you
live, you are an expert.

I think that box there may be rigged.

So if you're good, you may just live.

- Qiu Zi Yu, have I your word?

- Sure you have.

I mean there are witnesses to see to that.

(gentle music)

- Huh, well, all right, I can't lose.

As this was your idea and
not mine, don't blame me.

(dramatic music)

(container squeaking)

(dramatic music)

- Go on. Let's have a look then.

(suspenseful music)

(Mao screeching)

(weapon swooshing)

(dramatic music)

- He lost.

- The box was rigged, I know
it was. How come he lost?

- It's very simple.

The life side as a small nail.

It stuck no matter what he tried to do.

- About the jade?

- Let's go back, back to Mr. Nan.

But still, you can give
it to Xiao Hong first

if you'd like to.

(dramatic music)

- Leave the jade.

(dramatic music)

You made the hand and you
know that nobody can escape

from the knives that it shoots out.

- Yes, that's quite true, nobody can.

- You made it real well.

- You mean to use it to steal the jade?

- Yes, I'm going to take
the jade and your life.

- Yan Zi Fei, so you'll use
my own weapon against me

to kill me?

- You're right. Your workmanship is great.

Now I have the hand and
I'll rule all the clans.

And you have to die

so that you can't make any
counter weapon to defeat me.

- That has five uses.

I've just told you four.

And if you kill me, you
won't know the fifth.

- I don't need to know.

Even with four, I can still
rule all of the clans.

(dramatic music)

(knife whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(knives whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(knives clanging)

It's no use.

Shooting up knives and catching

is one of the hand's functions
so that nobody can prevent me

from getting that jade now.

(suspenseful music)

(knife whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

- That was my last knife,
nobody's escaped it yet.

(knife clanging)

- On my hand still has two knives left,

and with those two, I shall kill you.

And Qiu Zi Yu.

(Yan Zi Fei groaning)

(suspenseful music)

- I didn't tell you about that part.

After it's fired two knives,
you must reverse the spring

'cause if you don't,

then the last two knives fire backwards.

(knives clanging)

(dramatic music)

Mo Jun Feng, who would've
thought you'd save me.

- You saved me once, and in any case,

I didn't want him to have the jade.

- Well anyway, I'm very
grateful for all your help

and I assume you give up on the jade.

I hope so.

- Hold it.

Two of us, me and Xiao
Hong, we'll take the jade,

then you'll get your knives.

(knife whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

- Why not ask me why I want the jade?

- I don't care why you do.

(suspenseful music)

(weapon whooshing)

(dramatic music)

- Well, I'm sorry. So excuse me.

I'll take the jade and
you as well as a hostage.

Any trouble and you'll die.

- Zhen Xiang, what about me and my share?

- No, you've got your knives
back now and that's enough.

- Well, where are you taking her?

- If you don't follow me, I'll
leave her behind at the end.

- You won't harm her?

- All that I want is the
jade. Why should I harm her?

If I hadn't liked her, I
could easily have betrayed her

at any time.

(dramatic music)

- Hold it, she's a hostage
against Qiu and Yun Xiang.

But not me though 'cause
I don't care if she dies.

Now put the jade back.

- Well, if you make any move,
I shall certainly kill her.

(dramatic music)

- Mo Jun Feng, let her go.
She can't hurt the girl.

- Hmm, well now, seems to
me that we'll have to fight.

- Huh, you've only one
knife. You have no chance.

Let her go and you can have
all of your knives back,

I promise you that.

- All right, I'm going and
you can pick her up the in.

(gentle music)

- You can have your knives and brother too

can be a referee for us.

(knife clanging)

You know I've got the advantage.

You have only one knife left.

- Don't be worried
about me 'cause I'm not.

When it comes to my last
knife, you'll see why.

(knives clanging)

- Huh, we'll find out very soon.

- You both ready?

And you mustn't start
till I throw the dice.

(dice whooshing)

(knives whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

(knives whooshing)

(knives clanging)

(suspenseful music)

(knives clanging)

(dramatic music)

(knives whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(knives clanging)

(dramatic music)

- Didn't know about that trick.

It's pretty good.

- Mm, those last knives are both magnetic

and they never miss.

(dramatic music)

I would've won anyway.

I mean I'm better than him.

- Of all the five, he was
the best, a brave man.

- You know Xiao Hong?

- Mm-hmm, known her for many years,

she's like a sister to me.

- But who is she though? Why is she here?

Who's she with?

- Oh, she's a policeman's daughter.

He sent her so she could
try and get the jade back.

That's why I told you

you could give her the jade, understand?

- But she suggested to me she
had no parents. Why'd she lie?

- She was acting as a spy here.

So then she couldn't tell you the truth.

- She won't tell me more lies?

- I should think that's highly unlikely.

Hey, you better get after the in now

and I'd better get going and
try and catch Shuang Shuang

and get the jade.

(dramatic music)

(knife screeching)

(dramatic music)

- Zhen Xiang, been waiting for you.

(weapon clanging)

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

Come on, you can't escape now.
You better come into my room.

(dramatic music)

- This is Yun Xiang, this
is my dad. He's a policeman.

- Hmm, Xiao already told me.

- Sorry, I had to tell you
lies. I hope you're not mad.

- Well, you're back with your father

and you got the jade back too.

So I'll be going now. I'll see you.

- Yun Xiang, don't go.

- You mean that?

- Mm. You haven't answered me yet.

You're mad at me?

- I'm not.

(Xiao Hong chuckling)

(Yun Xiang chuckling)

(Xiao Zi Jing laughing)

- Well now, let's have the jade.

(dramatic music)

- Huh? It isn't there.

- Xiao Hong, she hasn't had
any chance to hide it yet.

Take her over there and search her.

(suspenseful music)

- Well, I'm sorry, but that's not for you.

I'm Qiu Zi Yu,

I guess that you must
have heard of that jade.

And because of that jade,
many men have been killed.

You try and keep it, I'm
sure you'll be most unlucky.

At a guess, you wouldn't
last until tomorrow.

Since you know who I am, you have to know

that you couldn't beat me
if I wanted to take it.

But still, I don't want
it for myself though,

I just wanted to give it back.

It must be returned to Mr. Nan,

it was stolen from his escorts.

I'll give it back to him at East Point.

- She doesn't have it.

- Hmm? Doesn't have it?

- [Xiao Hong] Hmm.

- On the way here, anyone go near her?

- NO ODE.

Ah, on the way up the staircase,

there was some man who bumped into her.

- What was he like?

- Just an old man, a bit skinny.

- Hmm, now I know who has it.

(gentle music)

All right, you.

- Inspector.

- Just give me the jade and hurry.

- Yes, sir, you know everything,

can't hide nothing from you. (chuckles)

- Give it me.

- I had it. I admitted I did.

But then I gave it to Qiu Zi Yu,

he said that he was going
off to return it to Mr. Nan.

Well you better go catch Qiu,

you tell him I want him to
give the jade to me right away

instead of returning it to Mr. Nan

because the owner
reported the theft to me.

And so then I should give
it back to the owner.

- Right, I'll go now. You trust me?

- You'll be all right,
I'm sure of that. Go on.

- Right.

- Yun Xiang, I know a great deal about you

and I think it's probably time
that you turned a new leaf.

I know of your friendship
with my daughter.

We ought to talk about that, hmm?

- Sure. Yes, sir.

- Yeah.

(dramatic music)

(guest shrieking)

- Zhen Xiang.

(dramatic music)

(Zhen groaning)

(dramatic music)

Hey, don't bother. No use chasing him.

He'd only be some minor assassin.

Obviously, his boss
couldn't know what happened.

And earlier, he must have
given orders to kill Zhen Xiang

and get the jade because
he would've believed

that the woman still had the jade then.

And if I'm not mistaken,

that piece of jade may
well be already in his hat.

- Who is he?

- I'm not certain, not for sure.

But one thing I do know is
that he can fight real well

and he has lots of men.

Now you and Xiao Hong stay back here

and I shall send my men.

(dramatic music)

If something happens, do
what you think's right.

And if you're not here,

I'll assume that you've
gone to East Point.

(dramatic music)

- Now then we must be real careful.

He's not just an expert at making weapons,

he's also learned many techniques

to learn how his weapons all work.

So we can assume he knows
most styles, any that we know.

And what's more, when he made a weapon,

the buyer had to teach him
his own special techniques.

He knows the nerve points.

And when he made 12 throwing knives,

he learned to use the phantom speed.

And another technique he
learned to make a silver weapon

and he's an expert with
the jointed sticks.

Not many can beat him.

He really knows how to
use those sticks now.

So he knows all those weapons
and all the counter moves.

So watch him and be real careful.

One mistake and he'll have killed you.

Believe me, we mustn't give him a chance.

We must get him without
allowing him to fight back.

- Who is this man my dad suspects?

- I think, I don't know.

" Who?

- I think something is wrong.

- Why?

- I got to East Point before Chue did,

and while I waited there,
I saw something quite odd,

so I watched cloaked.

(gentle music)

- Well now, thank you.

I'm most grateful to you, my friend.

- I was lucky.

(gentle music)

- Thank you.

- So right, I'm pleased to help you.

The main thing is you got the hade.

Anyway, I must go now. I'll see you.

- Goodbye and thank you again.

- Hey, listen, those
men were up to no good.

They were all wearing hood.

- Tell me, what color were their robes?

- Light grav-

- Well, that adds up.

The one who killed Zhen
Xiang also wore gray.

The man your dad suspects is Nan Yu.

- This man that they were
talking about. Who is-

- From what you heard, it has to be Qiu.

- Think you're right.

I don't get it, that jade,
why should Nan want it?

I can't see the point.

- I think I know.

The jade's owner told me that Nan said

he'd only insure for 100,000.

- But that jade, it's
worth half a million.

- So now we know what Nan's trying to do.

He first has to kill Qiu and then pretend

the jade is still lost.

I better go now and try and warn Qiu,

should imagine he'll need help.

You tell the others.

- Nan Yu, I know you're behind
this. So come on out now.

(suspenseful music)

- Qiu Zi Yu, you're as good as dead.

I realize you're not bleeding,

that's because I know you can control it,

but you can't control it for very long.

And sooner or later now,
you'll weaken, lose control,

and then, hmm, you're gonna drop dead.

- I know that.

But before I die,

I'll make sure that I kill you first

and get the jade back to the police.

- Don't think so. Where's my guards?

- Qiu was a very good man and a brave one.

Why do you kill him like that?

- Qiu Zi Yu was asking for
what he got. So are you.

You can follow him.

die, but you might instead.
