"(logo music)" "[Voiceover] In 1937 war broke out between China and Japan." "The Japanese Imperialists carried out ruthless aggression on Chinese soil." "Thousands of Chinese compatriots were savagely murdered, many preferred resistance and death to slavery." "This is a story of some of those who resisted." "Although characters and names have been changed, it is based on historical fact." "Brother Tang." "Brother Tong let's start now." "Alright." "He he, let's begin now." "[All] Okay." "Hey." "Oh!" "Ha ha ha..." "Si To, let's go quickly." "You just watch me, oh!" "(laughs)" "(loud smack)" "Get back!" "General, what can we do for you?" "Hey!" "This show is illegal, tell him that!" "Yes, yes." "Well, this performance is forbidden;" "what are you doing here?" "Ah!" "Move in and take them away!" "[Soldiers] Yes sir!" "(woman screams and scuffling)" " Si To." " Huh." "(Ominous music)" "Just stick it on there quickly!" "[Guard 1] Move it along there, come on move it." "[Guard 2] Come on, hurry up, come on." "Come on you, over here!" "[Soldier] Come on open it up, let's see it." "Come on all you, move along, move along." "[Soldier] What have you got?" "Hurry up." "What you got?" "Eh?" "Come on!" "Hmm?" "Oh?" "Leave me alone!" "But my money!" "I want my money!" "Ah, ah ah!" "[Soldier] Come on!" "Ah, a beauty, come here, pretty face." "Come on, come on." "(laughs maniacally)" "[Soldiers] That's it, get him!"

"Come on!" "(dry cough)" "(multiple coughs)" "The Japs have gone too far." "Seems that we must fight back." "Just by performing patriotic plays we'll never defeat the Japanese." "So what's the use?" "That's the trouble, can't we fight them some how?" "Truth is" "I myself" "I'm worried about my family but now the way things are going" "I have to leave home and fight." "Those in the resistance have to leave and sacrifice all." "They're fighting for the nation." "For me, I'll do the same." "I see, sure you can stand being away from your family if you go to fight?" "(sniffling)" "What's up?" "You're crying." "Maybe!" "I will miss my family, however, it's the fight that counts now." "Si To, as long as you really want to go, but no more crying." "Ah." "Come on now, we'll have to find a place to stay." "Come on." "(coughing and gasping)" "Old man." "What's the matter?" "You look bad." "Long time," "I've been sick." "Can't cure it, oh..." "[Woman] Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "(coughing)" "What's the matter?" "Nothing dear." "Just coughing." "These men here... (deep cough)" "We were just passing by and we saw him." "These two men were very kind." "Stopped by here to help me out." "Thank you so much." "Grandpa, I'll take you on back." "Don't bother." "It's too much trouble," "Feng child, go and deliver the laundry." "Uh huh." "Thank you kindly." "(coughing loudly)" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Get him up in here." "I'll take him back." "Just tell me where's he live?" "North Garden." "Where's that?" "We live there together, why don't I go back with you." " Right." " [Man] Si To!" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Chien Fung." "Where did you get the rickshaw?" "Hey, found a house yet?" "Where are the others?" "I looked all over this here town, no empty houses." "But I found a swell cow barn, looks like we can stay there." "The other two men both went to wait there." "I want you to come and take a look at it." "Alright, first though, this old man's sick." "I think I'll take him back home now, then go find them." "Let's go." "You're looking for a place to stay?" "Yeah." "For how long?" "A few days." "We just want to rest a bit..." "About a week." "Ah, yes." "Let me see, when I get back I'll ask my family because we've got a room, might let to you." "Alright, we'll pay you rent." "But the room is quite small, only enough for one or two men." "Chien Fung." "Alright, you and Si To stay with them." "We'll stay there in the cow barn, that way we'll be less conspicuous." "Right, that'll be right." "That's good, very good, thank you Mr. Jung." "General, it's useful," "Chinese call this sword Secret Sword." "Oh?" "Secret huh?" "Hmm, Mr. Jung," "Tong Jo has become very important to us now." "We must stay in control, according to our latest survey there are a lot of suspicious persons hiding around." "Therefor I think I'll establish a local cooperation society, for maintaining order." "This way we can prevent any rebellion." "Tong Jo is going to have to provide taxes for the support of the Imperial Army." "Sure, sure." "Tong Jo seems like a small town, but it's really quite wealthy." "Just say what you want the provisions will be supplied, there's no problem." "Last week you told me that you'd ask the local landlords for contributions to our cause." "Have they been received yet?" "Well, uh..." "Nothing seems to..." "Stubborn people, money grubbers, the stupid bastards won't pay." "I, I, I, I just can't, I just can't seem to make them pay." "General." "If we had some way to threaten people, just supply me with some weapons, then they would pay their contributions." "When I gave you this job I thought you'd do it better." "How could I have confidence in you?" "Mr. Jung?" "I can't give you weapons for I don't trust you." "No what, I'll provide two guards to assist you." "These two men are both capable Karate fighters." "They're fast and both very strong." "But they give you all your orders, understand." "Yeah, yeah." "To get things under control, you must first take a census." "Suppress the locals." "Should anyone offer any resistance, or act suspicious, capture them or will be killed." "You mean, you mean..." "What I say." "Yeah, yeah." "Call the captain and the sergeant, send them in." "[Soldier] Captain!" "The general wants to see you." "Yes." "Ah, well let me introduce you now." "This here is Mr. Jung of Tong Jo, a good friend of mine." "This is captain Chu Tien, and this is sergeant Xiong Bung." "Hello, hello." "[General] Both of them speak Chinese quite well." "Oh?" "I am sending both of you to Tong Jo to set up a cooperation society." "[Both] Sir!" "Mr. Jung, when this society is ready, it's you who'll have to run things." "Thank you, I'll remember." "Before you do anything, you must check with Chu Tien to find out just what you may do." "Then you may act." "Yeah, yeah, sure, sure." "Before we leave, how many men should we get?" "Better just you two." "Just leave the rest of it to me now." "Well now, when you arrive let me know." "[Both] Sir!" "This time when you go there, better leave your uniforms behind." "Act as though you're Chinese there, try to look like native residence, and find out what's going on, understand." "Sir!" "Oh you go and get ready, leave with Mr. Jung, he'll go with you." "[Both] Sir!" "Arigato." "Oh just a minute." "[Chu Tien] Sir?" "Take this thing, it might be useful." "Come on." "Not bad at all." "Go fix that, go on get to it, go on." "Good, good." "Very good." "You really use your fists very well." "Really we must compliment you on your great skill." "The way you split that plank, with only a single blow, you are far better than an entire army." "You'll be very useful in this town when our cooperation society gets underway, you'll be very useful." "But we better bring the guns here, we may need them too." "Who wants guns when you've got my fists." "Right, right." "Captain, this evening we'll entertain you with special sort of diversion you know..." "(men and women laughing and chatting indistinctly)" "Cheers, come on, how come you're not drinking?" "Captain..." "Hey, when's the other girl coming?" "Just gave her a phone call, she should be coming now." "Oh." "Captain to your health." "Hey, can't you go any faster." "Faster?" "Get a horse." "Ah!" "That's some kind of suggestion." "Hey, what are you trying to do?" "Better not complain." "Just what's the idea you!" "If you're not careful, I'm going to tell the Japanese on you then we'll see who complains." "(screaming)" "You watch it you!" "You be careful!" "You're crazy, you're crazy!" "You're going to kill me!" "You better let me down!" "Stop, stop!" "Hey, we're here, let me down." "Hey what's the idea!" "Is that any way to treat a girl!" "You stupid bastard!" "Shut up you bitch, better wipe your ass clean." "My makeup, my makeup, my makeup!" "My makeup you fool you!" "(giggling)" "I want it I want it." "[Both] Thanks brother, do you have candy?" " Thanks brother." " Candy candy candy!" "Did you bring the candy today?" "Oh I forget to." "Take this and you can buy some." "[Both] Oh!" "Thanks brother!" "Here, put down the bucket." "Right." "God damn it!" "These here Japanese steal from the people, kill our families, how come they don't even treat us like men!" "All you men do is cry." "Is that supposed to drive the Japs away." "Women and housewives don't understand." "Chou Ping Li!" "Chou Ping Li, I'll tell you, the Japanese devils aren't so strong." "If they mess around with me I'll beat 'em good!" "Watch this!" "Cheun Fung." "Si To, what are you doing?" "Killing Japs." "(laughing)" "Just showing your strength, what good will it do?" "Whatever the price, better bow our heads." "So cowardly." "Just supposing they try to steal your wife;" "would you run away?" "Some husband." "(coughing)" "[Tong Ye] Grandpa." "How are you?" "You look tired now." "(coughing)" "Here's today's, you keep it." "Thank you, I'm very grateful to you." "It's so good of you, caring for me the way you do." "However, you and your men will need this money." "The rickshaw is yours, don't worry about it." "But anyway you'd better rest." "Tong Da Ga." "Time to eat." "You rest now." "Tong Ye." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Don't thank me." "There." "(children crying)" "What is it?" "Who gave you money?" "What's the matter ma?" "They wont eat because they bought candy." "Sister, I gave them money." "You shouldn't do so much Tong Ye." "Doesn't matter." "And you work so hard for your money." "Hey I got to tell you what happened to me." "What is it?" "This evening when I was out working there was this prostitute, she wanted to see the Japanese, she thinks the Japanese will do anything for her." "Well she gets in the seat and starts complaining, so I got angry." "What happened?" "That bitch, we got there at last, I just shoved her out into a puddle." "She screamed, I could see she was mad." "That was a good thing; and then?" "What happened then?" "Then dropped her and left." "Then didn't get paid?" "That traitors money, she can keep it." "That's the right attitude." "Careless, you were too careless." "Can't you see that you might get into trouble?" "What's the matter, what do you think she could do?" "That stupid, stinking bitch." "Perhaps that's so, you may be right." "But then the Japanese are very strong in these parts." "So I seriously fail to see just what it is you have achieved." "So whatever the price, it's better to bow our heads." "Shou Feng, come on in." "They shouldn't talk that way it makes me get angry." "Tong brother I'm saying this just for your sake, here the Japanese are in control." "You should avoid trouble now." "Hey Mr. Meng, since you've learned to cow tow how come the school has reduced you to a simple clerk then?" "These days teachers must know Japanese, it might have been worse, I was treated well, other men have been fired from the school." "So whatever the price, it is better to bow our heads." "Brother, sister wants you." "Then go there, Mr. Meng, or else Mrs. Meng is going to fire you, then you'd be in real trouble." "Oh no, the pastry's burning!" "Ruined!" "While you waste time the cakes get burned!" "Chou Ping Li you should be more careful." "You ruin those cakes once more, your wife will kick you out for good." "Tong Da Ga, my brother said to give some soup to you, please have a bowl." "Thank you, thank you." "[Mr. Jung] Eggs, eat it." "Next time if you fellers don't send a car to come and get me," "I wouldn't dare to come again." "Why not?" "Why not?" "When I came just now I took a rickshaw, told him to go faster." "That bastard said to me, "get a horse"." "Oh?" "I suppose it can't be helped though, captain." "When he heard you were waiting for me he went and dumped me outside the door." "Oh?" "So that was it." "It's true." "It's quite natural, this cooperation society doesn't even have one rifle." "So who's afraid of you." "Impossible." "That smart ass, when he saw the sign on this place he got angry." "He went and dumped me on my ass then he ran away." "Oh, you know that rickshaw driver?" "I don't know him." "Chairman, you should really be more careful, you know that if he's a member of the revolutionary." "Revolutionary?" "It's improbable." "Mr. Jung." "[Mr. Jung] Yes?" "You check this out." "Captain, just relax, I'll arrange to have my men take care of it." "Come on, let's go and play." "Hey mommy, we're going to go and play now." "Bye!" "Go on then." "I must have some money." "Here's the money." "It's for your lunch." "Okay." "Come on let's go." "Goodbye." "Mr. Meng." "Uncle, feeling better now?" "Very good, thank you." "Hey, get going." "You'll be late, they're going to fire you." "Then how will we eat?" "Well can't you see I'm going." "See you later uncle." "[Thug] Get up!" "What was that?" "Out of the way!" "Come on get up." "Listen man, you mustn't be so rowdy." "Don't act dumb." "The rickshaw, you paying or not?" "Can't you wait just a few days more?" "This week I've been ill." "Been ill...?" "You ain't dead so you gotta pay up." "(struggling and grunting)" "[Shou Feng] Hey!" "Stop!" "Not so hard!" "Stop!" "[Thug] Money!" "You bastard, hiding it!" "Meng." "Oh you men, you men, why did you strike him?" "What's that?" "Go get lost." "Better pay." "Pay now or get your face crushed." "But Mr. Meng that's for your dinner." "Good enough." "But you're still short, three dollars." "Give it, give it!" "Give it." "Quickly!" "Sister do you have money?" "[Thug] Money, hurry!" "I have no money, we're all so poor here." "An old man like me, would I lie to you." "Good friends, you and I are neighbors here." "Enough of that shit." "You tell me, yesterday were you working?" "But I just told you, these days I've been sick." "If I worked would I try to hide the money?" "Stop fighting, stop fighting!" "You bastard, we'll get you, don't go." "I'm not scared so don't think I'm gonna run." "I'll be here, I'll tell you, yesterday, the driver who dumped your whore, was me." "Oh, you just wait, let's go." "[Shou Feng] How is he?" "Si To, go get a doctor." "Here, here here." "Here." "Here's the money that we kept in the house." "Guess it's too late." "Si To, go on." "So whatever the price, it is better to bow our heads." "Meng, my friend, restraint may be a virtue but we can't submit to such violence." "This is rubbish." "Captain and Chang went off into the city." "Sergeant, what do we do now?" "A rickshaw driver, and you're afraid." "You Chinese men, you're really weaklings." "Just a bunch of cowards." "Come with me." "Don't worry, it's a light wound have him rest for a while." "Thank you Doctor." "Show him out." "Right, this way." "Cheun Fung." "Lou Tai, what is it?" "Cheun Fung, we've got some of the actors guide for us, he's at the store waiting." "Oh, fine," "I'll go first, you'll be there." "Shou Feng, I'm going outside to the store, be back soon." "(ominous music)" "Let him sleep." "It's just a shame." "(woman screams)" "Tell Tong to come out." "He went out." " He went out?" " Yes." " Bull Shit." " [Feng] Meng, are you hurt?" "Please, oh no, well you see..." " Where is he?" " He went out!" "Your mother's a stinking dog!" "Search!" "Yep!" "[Meng] Please, oh please, please." "Come in, come in." "[Thug] Found the old man." "[Meng] Easy, easy, grandpa!" "Easy with grandpa!" "Easy, easy with him." "Oh Grandpa, Grandpa, oh Grandpa!" "Go look around!" "You men how could you do this!" "Are you alright grandpa?" "Easy grandpa, easy." "Old bastard." "I'll kill you." "Damn your mother and grandfather," "Wang Fe Hu, you don't act like a human!" "[Meng] Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You'll kill the man!" "Oh stop it!" "Stop it stop it you'll kill him!" "What's the matter now, you want a piece?" "Only help Uncle, Uncle, Uncle." "Meng Ye," "Meng Ye," "Meng Ye, Meng Ye, are you alright?" "I'm alright." "Stop it!" "Seems he's interested, you should be honored." "Oh Meng Ye, Meng Ye save me!" "Mr. Fan will it work out?" "Tang Ze, I often go through the Japanese lines," "I know them well, no problem." "[Shou Feng] Tong Ga Da!" "Tong Ga Da!" "Tong Ga Da!" "What is it?" "Tong Ga Da, Wang Fe Hu brought the Japanese, broke in the house and smashed it up." "Cheun Fung, why don't we go and get them." "Let's go see." "Wait here, I'll go myself." "Alright, let him go in and see his wife." "Chen Tsu, Chen Tsu!" "Chen Tsu!" "Grandpa!" "Sister!" "[Tong Ye] Si To!" "Sister!" "The swines!" "Tong Da Ga!" "Tong Da Ga." "You mustn't leave." "Shou Feng, don't worry," "I will return." "(women crying)" "You tell me." "That damn revolutionary, name of Tong, just where the hell is he hiding?" "I just don't know." "We really don't know, really." "You really don't know?" "[Woman] No, I don't know." "No." "Hey there, bring some rope and let's hang up these kids here." "No!" "No, no you can't!" "No please!" "Please!" "No you can't!" "Let them go, let the babies go, they know nothing!" "Please!" "Right, they don't know anything." "But you do." "You tell me, that guy Tong, just where is he?" "I don't know, I don't know!" "No oh no!" "No!" "[Child] Mama!" "Get him!" "Si To." "Tong Da Ga, up there." "Mr. Cheun!" "These men are wanted." "I ask you, look closely." "If they are within this area, arrest and bring them here." "[Both] Yeah." "General, maybe you could tell us when our weapons and ammo..." "Just capture these outlaws first." "In three or four days, I'll have the guns sent to you." "General, sayonara." "Okay, loot at him." "Hey, we've got to get out of this mess somehow." "Mustn't be angry." "We should stick with Tong, no matter what, anyhow, we have really got to pay the Japanese back for this." "Problem is, how?" "You think it's that simple, the Japanese won't let us get away with it." "Yeah." "We've got to find a place to hide now." "Hey, what happened to that guide of ours?" "He's not come back yet." "And when he returns we must escape." "I know!" "I know a place to hide." "It's very secret." "Can we take Tong and hide him there?" "[All] Right!" "We'll do that!" "Let's go, come on." "Gently now." "These here people just won't cooperate!" "They're trying to overthrow us now." "They're just revolutionaries!" "Seems it's just these few men, Chairman Chang." "Captain." "It's this bastard, he did it." "Chairman Chang, security here is no good!" "The rebels will have to go!" "Tan Joc Tsu!" "Sir?" "Do you know this man?" "Yes sir, yes sir!" "He lives near here!" "Just over in North Garden." "Right." "Come!" "Not here." "Not here." "Not here." "Not here." "Chairman Chang." "Sir?" "If you can't get hold of this guy, Tong, then as Chairman you're really finished!" "Ah, yes." "Listen!" "You men had better find them or else we're all done for!" "Go, put up notices." "[Thugs] Sir, yes!" "Hang Je Tong and other fugitive revolutionaries wanted for disturbing public order, alluding arrest, revolutionary conspiracy, those with information as to their whereabouts must report to the authorities, reward 10 ounces of gold!" "I'll look into this." "Tong Da Ga, what are you up for?" "You are too rest now." "These few days, you've been good to me." "Everyday you care for me." "You shouldn't mention it." "Si To and the others are going to find the guide." "I think in two days we can get going." "But I can't rest now." "I'm just a burden to you." "Tong Da Ga, you shouldn't think only about others." "You really should think about yourself." "I'm all alone." "I have no family, so what's the difference?" "I feel, we should take care of you." "Cheun Fung." "Cheun Fung." "It's terrible." "Signs posted all over." "They want to catch us." "Uh huh." "We met the man who will guide us." "Before dawn tomorrow, we can begin." "But now since we're bringing more people, he wants 10 more dollars." "Then he will take us, and he says he wants that now, so he's at his house there, waiting for the money." "Brother, this all you have to remember your mother by this..." "There's not enough time." "But now if they're searching for us." "You'd better not go out." "Why not send me then?" "No." "You should let me, you don't know." "We'll go together." "Okay, but you watch carefully, don't lose your way." "I know." "Tong Ye." "Tong Ye, you've given us so much how can we." "Get up!" "We're compatriots, so don't thank me." "In here." "Who's there?" "Si To." "Well come in." "What happened?" "There." "No, this ain't enough." "Counting this." "That?" "That isn't real money." "It's priceless." "Something like this is worth a lot, you ought to know." "Alright, anyway we're friends, actually, I'm not trying to cheat you, just that I need this to bribe certain watchmen." "Well, we're grateful." "Tomorrow morning where shall we meet you?" "Wong Di Lake, five a.m, and don't be late." "We'll be there." "Hey, hey it's those people from North Garden." "Quickly." "Si To, Si To!" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Oh!" "Si To!" "Is everything you're telling me the truth?" "Sure it is." "It's tomorrow morning, very early, five o' clock." "They swore they wouldn't be late." "Sergeant Xiong Bun." "Yes!" "You know just what to do." "Yes!" "Go!" "Please, please." "[Guard] You there, get over there." "You!" "(the guide chuckles evilly)" "[Guard] Come on let's go!" "Captain this little bitch here lives together with that guy Tong." "Bring her to the Captain's room." "[Guard] Yes sir!" "Captain, in this case personal interrogation, huh?" "Seems they should be back by now." "(knocking at the door)" "Si To!" "Si To!" "Shou Feng, she...!" "[Crowd] What happened, what's the matter?" "Si To." "Si To." "Tong Ga Da." "Shou Feng, got captured, dragged away." "Si To, did you meet the guide or not?" "(screaming in pain)" "Yes." "Gave him, the money." "He said we must, we must... go... five in the morning..." "Wong Di Lake... meet him... (screams in pain)" "Oh god, Tong Da Ga, Tong Da Ga, you better quick, quick, go." "Si To!" "[Crowd] Si To!" "Si To!" "[Tong Ye] Oh no." "Tong Ye?" "You go on to Wong Di Lake." "I'll get Shou Feng." "At five o' clock if I'm not there, don't wait for me." "[Crowd] We can't do that." "Tong Ye." "Listen to me, do as I say." "(woman screams)" "(sobbing)" "(laughing)" "(chuckling)" "Chairman Chang, she's not bad." "Shou Feng!" "Tong Da Ga." "Don't move!" "Stay there, if you move I'll knife her." "(Shou Feng screams)" "Shou Feng!" "Tong, Tong Da Ga." "Go quickly." "Shou Feng, Shou Feng!" "Let let me..." "I'll tell you something." "Talk!" "Your comrades at Wong Di Lake are surrounded." "If you don't go they will be ambushed." "You!" "Tong Ye." "Tong Ye!" "Tong Ye!" "Go, come." "Ling Jai!" "Samo Wong!" "Look out!" "The Japanese are coming!" "Get out!" "Ling Jai, Samo Wong!" "Ling Jai, Samo Wong!" "Get away!" "The Japanese are here!" "Sergeant, what about...?" "(screams)" "Get him!" "(screams)" "(screams)"
