"Are you going to say anything?" "Release" "Are you going to talk?" "Release" "Why?" "Mr. Lu, beaten again?" "Why not tell the whole story?" "A smart guy is never stubborn" "Though you've hidden it well, you've no chance to enjoy it!" "You'll be tortured day and night." "It's not worth the risk" "I have a heart of gold." "So don't take me wrong." "You're new here, talk to him." "A man should be all-rounded." "Look at me, I..." "Thief." "Listen, though I ain't any famous guy!" "I am a man with guts." "I steal, but I don't kill my own brothers." "Eat." "Don't scramble." "Such meal ain't good enough for you, Sir." "With money, we should enjoy good meals." "Or find a beauty as company." "We're of the same kind." "I'll never be like you." "That's right." "What is it?" "Talk and forget the meal." "What are you doing?" "These guys fought again." "The key." "The key." "Lu, this way." "Go." "To the roof." "Where's Lu?" "I'll see where you can go." "Can you manage?" "Wherever you go, they'll catch you." "Because Hsiung Chien the palace guard is famous for his ruthlessness." "Where are you going?" "I also want to get the gold." "There's no point following me like that." "Let's split." "Leave at once!" "This can be a shelter." "Damn the weather." "It's either flood or drought these years." "Stop grumbling." "Are we going to Stone Town?" "Where is Stone Town?" "Are you going there too?" "Hungry?" "Thanks." "Do you live in Stone Town?" "I'm going there for the ashes of my deceased father." "Sorry, I have to go." "I think you can't make it." "There's station there." "You can stay the night." "And you?" "You look smart." "I just overheard the officer talking!" "He's such a mean guy." "He can never match Sir Wei." "Want to get killed?" "Thirty thousand taels of gold is really something!" "Don't get green-eyed." "This is for Sir Wei's shrine." "Shrine?" "We don't have enough to eat!" "What is a shrine for?" "Go and get things done." "Isn't Yu I Ju the subordinate of the magistrate?" "Why was he killed?" "He killed his three comrades." "Man's heart is so unpredictable." "Use your mouth to eat." "What should we do?" "The Stone Town." "Hey, my legs are aching." "You haven't told me the destination." "What are you up to?" "I have my plan!" "I ain't going to walk if you don't tell me." "Do you want gold?" "Gold." "If you want gold, come to Stone Town." "Tell everyone to be on the alert, Lu Tien Chun'll be here." "Mr. Hsiung, this way." "Assemble everyone in the hall." "Yes." "Go, go." "Hold it." "Goodbye." "Mr. Lu, fate brings us together!" "These three guys are damn unlucky." "They lost their lives for gold!" "Frankly, I admire you." "You smashed them." "Mr. Lu, Hsiung is after you." "He's so tight on you." "How can you manage both digging and transporting?" "We'll help you." "What to do?" "Follow." "Mr. Lu, why?" "How about 40/60." "Don't follow me." "You prefer to take it the tough way." "Don't move." "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "Don't move..." "Mr. Lu, how about 30/70?" "Ghost." "Ghost." "Ho Piao is your..." "Old lady, old lady." "Old lady" "Old lady" "Old lady" "Why did you..." "You killed my dad." "Who is you dad?" "You've killed too many to remember every victim." "Who are you?" "You don't have to kill my dad to rob the goldsmith's." "You take me wrong." "Old lady." "What is it?" "Sorry." "Uncle, do you want my ma?" "Fifty coins." "He is innocent." "Mama!" "He is innocent." "Sorry." "Have you any other alternatives?" "There had been floods and droughts." "My husband died of plague." "I can't think of any better ways." "Take this." "Hold it." "Thanks." "I didn't expect Lu Tien Chun in Stone Town." "Now people are flooding into the town!" "All for your gold." "You come for gold, but I come for my own innocence." "He will always be after you!" "Until you find the gold." "I didn't rob the gold and I didn't kill anybody." "The guard Hsiung is here!" "He's like a crazy dog." "Be careful." "Hungry?" "I won't let you go." "You think I daren't?" "What are you?" "I am a tramp!" "Two months ago, I was returning from Hunan." "Calm down everybody, protect the gold!" "End his life." "Why bother?" "He can't live long losing the gold!" "I didn't quite expect it, to run so smoothly." "Of course, that old man is not match of ours!" "Don't underrate the old man." "I'll see how tough he is." "You've done your job, why killed other people?" "Lu Tien Chun, it's you!" "We haven't met for years." "Still in the old trade?" "So the robbers were Ho Piao and his brothers." "I wanted to escape." "But they dragged me to a village." "I was hesitant, but then..." "You're lying, my dad can't be the subordinate of Wei." "But your dad's committing suicide is a fact." "You made up the story and took the gold." "If that's the case, I wouldn't have come for you." "Then why did you kill your comrades?" "They aren't my comrades and I didn't kill them." "We can clean our hands of everything now." "The gold can support us for the rest of our lives." "No, Mr. Lu should have his share." "I won't take the gold." "Your stubbornness have not improved." "Who hit you on the head?" "I don't know." "When I woke up, the village was in flame." "Lu Tien Chun." "Shame on you." "You dared to rob Wei's gold?" "And you?" "Why did they spare your life?" "Because someone's got to be the scapegoat." "Someone dug up Ho Piao's grave." "I think someone doubts his death." "Last night I found an old lady mourning at his grave." "She burnt a woman's paper coat." "I only saw two corpses in the village." "Did Ho Piao really die?" "I've been in the trade for years." "I've handled hundreds of funerals." "There were men, women, aged and young." "Poor and rich." "Two months ago, did you pack Ho Piao's corpse?" "The mention of it sets me on fire." "My desire for alcohol was glowing and there they came." "I thought it was going to be a feast for me." "But the job done, I got nothing." "How many corpses were there?" "Three." "All men?" "No, one was a woman's." "A woman?" "I told an officer, but only got a good scolding." "I can swear it was a woman." "But they all said the three were male robbers." "And described me as dying for women." "Indeed, officers can say whatever they want." "They can turn a woman into a man!" "Madam Chang has a good heart." "She set up graves for the three miserable souls." "Where does she lives?" "Whom do you want?" "Is Ho Piao here?" "There's no such person here." "I have urgent matter for him." "Old lady." "You had the wrong place." "There's no such person." "Go." "Madam." "The magistracy?" "Old fool." "The magistracy is no place for wanderers." "Old lady." "Get tell Ho Piao I'll wait for him at the altar." "Auntie." "Things are getting dangerous for you." "I think you'd better not go tonight!" "Your dad must have loved you very much!" "My dad loved alcohol." "He loved me too." "After my mum died, there were only he and me." "He said he'd return after delivering the gold, but he's dead." "Don't go tonight." "I have nowhere else to go." "It's too dangerous!" "I don't mind." "I don't know" "if I should apologize." "What's your name?" "Yu Pei Pei." "Ghost." "Don't let him run away." "Don't go." "Chase." "That way." "Sir, come here." "Follow me." "Nowhere to be seen." "Search every house." "Yes." "Open the door." "Open the door." "No, sir." "Search along the river." "Yes." "Did Ho Piao come?" "Why is it like this?" "Why do so many people know our whereabout?" "Could the old lady have leaked it out?" "I don't think so." "Then let's look for her." "Go." "Drink first." "It's too dangerous to stay with me." "Your hand's bleeding." "Go back to the temple, it's safe there." "Listen to me." "Go." "I won't." "I won't go, I won't go." "You don't have to chase me away now." "Shoot." "Come here." "Chase." "Jump into the water." "Pei Pei." "Look." "Pei Pei." "She's alright." "Take more water!" "Was it you?" "If it was, I wouldn't be here." "Why didn't you come last night?" "I discovered the siege." "I wanted to inform you, but..." "Believe me, I didn't kill my brothers." "I was drunk and wanted some sleep, but..." "Who was he?" "When I woke up, the village was burning." "I saw soldiers taking you away." "So I hid in my aunt's house." "Then I found that my brothers and my wife were dead." "My aunt built me a grave, as illusion of my death." "But inside was my wife." "Look at this and you'll believe." "I can swear before the heaven." "We have all been cheated." "Yesterday I met the guy again." "I managed to escape when the soldiers came." "He wanted to kill me and got as scapegoat." "Can you recognize him?" "Still remember that day?" "That day?" "The day of the robbery." "He didn't kill your dad." "You are protecting him?" "I ain't protecting him." "Then let me kill him." "Listen to me!" "No, let me kill him." "You're too impulsive." "I won't see you again." "Who is she?" "Daughter of Yu I Ju." "Get her back quickly." "May the plague be gone after the sacrifice ceremony." "Sir, this way!" "Save leave, Save back" "No more disaster." "I heard that your honor intends to raise fund for the disaster." "Sir, peasants will be blessed." "Sir, this way!" "You are too cruel." "I've been waiting for you a long long time." "We should have a settlement!" "I didn't kill you in jail." "Because they took you for a treasure." "Now you're an escaped convict." "I can kill you on sound grounds." "I didn't mean to kill you." "Because I hurt your eye, but now..." "Go." "That's much fairer." "Chief?" "You shouldn't have your private revenge here." "I won't care who you are." "I must avenge today." "Lu Tien Chun's sword skill is as its fame!" "It's no match of yours!" "Since you've dug up Ho Piao's grave!" "I can tell you he wasn't the man behind the scene." "He was nothing but a scapegoat." "I have always doubted how a good fight and devoted subordinate like Yu I Ju, could have been killed by three robbers or committed suicide." "And the dead body was nowhere to be found." "Magistrate of Hunan Li!" "He has raised fund for the construction of a shrine." "Because he dreads your Highness' grace." "He always has evil on his mind." "So he laid down the trap." "Lu, you were used." "Yu I Ju?" "How about joining me?" "You helped me out of jail on purpose." "To use me as your bait!" "That's right, the thought once crossed my mind." "But you do it for your innocence!" "And me, for my job." "We are on the same boat!" "I am different from you." "Why do you do that?" "I have to do that." "I can't help it." "Did the gold make you change?" "Is your dad the kind of man?" "After your mother died, I treasure you so much." "Would I have left you for the gold?" "Well..." "It's the order from his honor..." "When the regime was in chaos." "Wei dictates with shrine built for him before he dies." "And peasants living in hell." "His Honor wants to send relief to the deprived." "But the treasury was empty." "So we thought out this plot." "To rob Wei's gold!" "But you shouldn't kill." "But once the secret is leaked, his Honor will be in danger." "But have you ever considered, the damage you've done to Lu Tien Chun?" "How about me?" "Yu I Ju no longer exists now." "I ain't human, but I ain't dead." "If someone takes up the responsibility, I'd rather die." "Dad." "My sacrifice didn't fulfill anything!" "I really don't know." "Really don't know." "He told me all." "Take me to him." "He was forced into it." "My dad has his own difficulty." "He didn't do it for the gold." "Trust me." "After the seal is melted, no one can recognize." "No wonder it is hidden in the cave." "Did you burn the village?" "I did." "You killed Ho Piao?" "Yes." "You want to kill me too?" "Stop fighting, stop." "Stop." "Dad, stop fighting." "Dad." "Dad, stop fighting..." "Go away." "No, stop." "Stop." "Explain the whole thing first." "Go away..." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop, don't fight anymore." "Dad, stop." "Dad, you don't have to kill him." "I'm the key to his innocence." "You're doing this for his Honor." "Dad robbed the gold for the poor." "His Honor was always under supervision!" "He was forced into the situation." "You should sympathize with my dad." "He's living in hell." "Who is going to sympathize me?" "There can't be a compromise between us." "Dad, stop fighting." "I have no alternative." "Dad." "I've paid you what I owed you." "The gold belongs to the peasants, to whom it should return." "Don't let Wei take it away!" "Dad." "There won't be a Yu I Ju in this world!" "I must get the gold." "You are clean now." "The gold belongs to the peasants." "Don't you want to clean yourself of it?" "It's no concern of her." "Let her go!" "Don't force me." "I have no choice." "I must fulfill Mr. Wei's order." "Let her go, we can settle the matter between ourselves." "I'll kill her!" "You ain't that mean!" "I will." "You won't."
