Let's go!

What did you do?

What did you do to make them follow us?

Stay here. I'll look for another place.

Keep quiet or I'll leave you here!

Here's the famous bounty hunter.

You see?

This man on his knees

wanted to prevent us from getting rich.

Give us everything you have.

Otherwise...

Do you sew?

Let's find something to eat.

Where's the remaining rice?

Ding On!

I found a book.

Read it to me please.

Tell me if it talks about my family.

You, you know how to read.

- Do I look like my parents? - It's a fencing manual.

- Read it. - It's a kung fu book.

There's nothing about you.

It was in my house.

It must mention me somewhere.

Keep looking.

Give it to me, I'll read it myself.

Your parents called you Ding On. Me, I've got nothing.

I'm not called Ding On.

I don't know my parents either.

Give it back!

Even pigs have a name. Ah One and Ah Two.

Why not me? I want to know where I come from.

This fencing book can be useful. I'll keep it.

You're the only one who calls me Blacky.

How much?

It's very expensive.

It's very popular. Prices are increasing.

At least 200 taels. Do you have some money?

Not enough, but if I give you these medicinal herbs...

No money? Get lost, one-armed!

Don't provoke me!

You only have one arm. Why do you want a sword?

To steal?

Move! What are you looking at? Don't disturb my business.

We owe this sword over 20 years of peace.

That's why we must be grateful

to his owner for what we have.

Where's the other half?

Why this crap?

What good is a sword to you? To turn over the ground?

We'll have to hide when they'll be back.

Otherwise it will never end.

You pity the mouse caught by the cat.

But if a man crushes an ant, do you kill him?

Why are you doing this? You can't change anything.

They will kill you. You're no match for them.

You'll die. You can't defeat them.

Iron Skull, what are you doing?

She doesn't know I saved her. She was scared.

So why did you tie her up?

- Untie her. - No.

Untie her!

Forget it. She is wanted.

I brought her here to protect her.

She'll be safe here.

She isn't used to it.

She's safe here.

Clean her. She is spattered with blood.

The sword! Where's the sword?

Is it the reason you saved her?

It's alright. You know, all men are the same.

And he will treat you like the others.

No, I'm not like that!

Then why are you doing this?

Because I love her.

You love her?

You love her?

All men say that.

Let's both leave together.

I can't. I have to find someone.

Who are you looking for?

Even if you find him he'll treat you the same way.

No.

Ding On will never treat me like that.

I want to find him!

Leave me alone! I'll find him on my own!

I don't need you! Go away!

I'm leaving, alone.

I'll find Ding On for you.

The most important thing in life is to know who we love.

But sometimes others choose for you.

Blacky, hide quickly!

Leave him to me!

Damn one-armed!

I'll beat him to death.

Master, look at me.

Isn't he afraid to die?

This way! Don't go! I want to kill you.

He's possessed. We'll kill his whole family.

Burn his house!

Burn his house!

Burn it! Burn the evil!

How did you dare burn my house?

How do you dare steal my goods?

I'm going to kill you!

Fei Lung? Is it true?

Can you fly?

You talk too much. How many pigs to kill?

There's a sword factory on the west side of the city.

A good fighter lives there in isolation.

They're as many as we are. Let's kill them.

A good fighter? In isolation?

You won't do it on your own.

There will be a price to pay.

I've always been unfair. My brothers need money.

Those two boxes won't be enough.

So what?

Do you want to see who's the fastest?

I've heard there's a one-armed.

A one-armed pig?

I can't afford to hire you.

No need to gamble to earn a living.

Go to another table if you don't like it.

What are you looking at?

Fei Lung, I'll work with you.

But I'll kill you if I have the opportunity!

The mountain hero has a sharp blade.

He kills all bandits.

He only has one arm, but he's a master.

He's incredible.

The mountain hero has a sharp blade

He kills all bandits.

He only has one arm, but he's a master.

Leave at once!

That's where I was born.

What kind of hotel is it? I can't see anything.

At least it's free.

It's dark and we have to sleep with the pig.

You're so fat, Mr. Pig.

You're lucky to live another day.

Your time is coming soon.

Light! I stole a candle.

Light!

- What are you doing? - I'm thinking.

Did you fall in love?

Good and evil, it's the same.

When the man is far you miss him.

You become attached to something that reminds you of him.

A good man often becomes evil and an evil man becomes good.

Isn't it true? There's no difference.

I don't know if I'll become like you.

Do you love the one you're looking for?

I used to love him.

But now I don't know if I love him or if I hate him.

I put it here. Where is it?

Where did it go? I put it here.

Nothing!

I can't see anything, it's too dark.

I'll steal another candle.

You can't trust a man.

How did you free yourself?

You can't trust a woman either.

Wait for me.

What the hell is this racket?

Run away!

Hurry!

Don't go!

The sword!

- A woman? - Who is she?

It's not a bandit.

Why did you want to kill us?

And you?

I remember you. You're not a bandit.

What are you doing here?

There's a girl up there. Save her.

- Come, have a look. - Blacky!

What are you doing? Step back, quickly!

Are you one-armed?

Is that you, Ding On?

- Is that you, Ding On? - Silence! Shut up!

Ding On!

You're Ding On, aren't you? I know you're Ding On.

Ding On! I know you're Ding On.

Wait for me! I know you're Ding On!

Who is she?

Why did you knock her out?

Siu Ling!

Hold her.

Blacky, go back there!

Take this.

You saved them. Why are you afraid of them?

You're here. I was looking for you.

- Master. - Ding On!

- I'm here! - Ding On is alive, I saw him!

Ding On!

They're waiting for you.

Don't you want to see them?

God punishes evil doers.

That's why God is armed.

A blade. And He's using it.

In peacetime everything was fine.

But now bandits are in the city.

The workers at the factory will end breaking the rules.

Boss, open the door!

Open the door!

- Who's there? - Boss, open the door!

It's Uncle Wah.

There are bandits in the city.

We've got nowhere to go.

Please, open!

Dow!

Check if they're carrying weapons.

Open the door!

What's going on Uncle Wah? Why is he so pale?

Our boss has been wounded by the bandits.

Yes, it's very serious.

Don't move!

These people are strangers.

No weapons. Open the door!

Open!

Wait! Don't open yet.

It's ok, they don't carry weapons.

- Let's help them. - Yes, let's help them.

We outnumber them anyway.

It will be fine. Don't worry.

Open the door!

Open the door.

- Keep an eye on them, I'll have a look. - Yes master.

Open the door!

Where are you going Uncle Wah?

It's the bandits!

Close the door! Hurry!

- Let Siu Ling go out by the backdoor. - Good!

The master asked me to take you.

Hurry up. It's dangerous outside.

Iron Skull! Go watch the door!

Fei Lung!

I already killed so many dirty pigs.

I can't imagine a warrior is hiding here.

I know why Skeleton is scared.

Don't worry. They're the losers!

Shall we kill him? Easy.

Do you want to stay or go back to have your injuries tended?

Don't talk so much. Kill him.

I kill pigs for money. And today,

you're the pig!

Come back! Iron Skull!

He's too strong. Be careful.

I'd rather die fighting.

It's none of your business. Shut up!

I'm the only one responsible here.

- Let them go. - Ok, I'll let them go.

Cut your right arm off first. We'll talk after that.

I didn't pay you to cut off his arm,

but to kill them all!

Go ahead! Why do you hesitate?

Cut it off! Are you scared?

Master, no!

Master!

Iron Skull!

Faster!

You're too slow! Faster!

Faster! Use your sword!

Kill him, Fei Tien!

Master, the sword!

Move away!

- Siu Ling? - Daddy, are you alright?

Why did you come back?

Amah Mah and Thirty Three are in a safe place.

What are you doing here?

Who is it?

Ding On.

Let's go!

Is it you Fei Lung? Is it you

who killed my father?

Ding On, forget the past.

Run away!

My generation doesn't have any choice.

I don't want to wander like a ghost.

My father's name was Lai. What was his nickname?

"Fast Sword in the River of the Noon."

You're a Lai.

So the man I killed and disembowelled was your father.

I can tell you his first name.

He was called Lai But Fiu.

Good. Now I will avenge my father.

Ding On! Don't do it!

Be quick!

I suddenly get what the stake of the Field of the Great Hold is.

Those who lost a battle

come back one day to claim what's been taken from them.

Our generation wants to take revenge.

Maybe the next one won't.

If I'm the only one to survive this massacre,

I'll try to take revenge too.

Fucking one-armed! You won't always be so lucky.

Today is a bad day for you.

Would you happen to be too slow

to defeat me?

I'll get you all, you dirty pigs!

Daddy!

Ding On and Iron Skull were finally back.

Now I knew why daddy used fake names

and why we always had to move from places to places.

This little game started a very long time ago.

From generation to generation, immutably,

without interruption.

Ding On and Iron Skull

left.

Why did they come?

Why did they leave?

Why were we existing?

I didn't go to look for them.

They promised me they would come back to see me.

Ding On!

Is it really you?

Each year, it was the same ritual.

Their smiling faces were so exceptional, so beautiful.

They never stayed for a long time.

But it didn't matter. I'll keep waiting for them.

Watching for their return,

with the hope they'll stay longer.

The Field of the Great Hold?

I still don't get it.

But I don't care.

I'll keep waiting for the one I love the most.

THE END
