"Did you bring me here?" " I want to ask you a question." " What is it?" "Are you swordsman Li who shook 9 states?" "Yes, I am." "Did you smash three escort bureau... and killed 108 men in one night?" "Who are you?" "I am Meng Sheng-hun." "I ask you to come here, because I was paid to kill you." "Killers are like shooting stars." "They appear in brilliance, and vanish in no time." "And besides they've no name." "I can't hold on." "It's really killing." "Killing who?" "The list is on the table." "Quick, quick, quick!" "They still don't know... who killed swordsman Li Kuang." "A killer has no life." "It's another life?" "We all know that money can buy anything... here, including lives." "Why me again?" "Who else, if not you?" "Lao Erh, Yeh Hsiang" "Yeh, the drunkard knows only drinking." "Open it and see." "UNCLE SUN YU LUNG MEN SOCIETY" "Uncle." "Yes, he's Sun Yu of the Lung Men Society... the biggest of its kind in the underworld." "Their castle I Ching Lung Mountain... with an area of 300 Li has thousands of men." "He has a son called Sun Chien... who's dauntless with excellent martial arts." "and who smashed three camps in one night, without an opponent." "His right-hand man is not his son... but a certain Lu Hsiang Chuan." "who's highly skilled with 72 secret weapons." "Besides, Sun has a mysterious killer..." "Han tang who has never come out in the open." "No-one knows where he is... but everybody knows he can kill anyone." "And who else?" "Next month is Sun's 50th birthday." "You can go and see for yourself then." "Navigator Lu Man-tien is here." "Very well." "Mr. Lu." "Where's Mr. Sun?" "He's inside with Brother Han" "Han Tang is also here." "Helmsman I Chien-Lung is here." "Hope you're all getting along well." "It's another year." "Of course, I come from south;" "you from north." "Help, Help!" "What is it?" "Sun Chien, help me, help me." "What is it, Hsiao Tieh?" "He killed his master's whole family." "No, no, I didn't." "Hsiao Tieh, don't be afraid." "No one will hurt you." "You shouldn't say so." "Why not?" "Because wherever he goes... we'll take him away." "You can't, Hsiao Tieh's my friend... and no-one can take anyone out of my hands." "Bring your father, I want to talk to him." "My father's all for what we decide." "He won't be rude to us three." "You're wrong." "Their manners are hereditary." "His father may be ruder than him." "How do you know?" "Because I am his father." "What his uncle has been doing is fair." "Why do you cover up a killer today?" "No, they're killers." "I've proof." "This piece of fabric torn from him... is the same as the one worn by him." "Whoever offends Uncle shall be killed." "Listen, all of you... whoever wants to kill Uncle must kill me first." "Uncle's here." "He'll arbitrate on anything." "You'll stay with us here." " Hsiang Chuan." " Yes." "You make arrangements for him." "Yes, Uncle." "Lao Huang of the Willow Village said... bandits have set fire there." "Sun Chien." "Yes." "Go and eliminate them tomorrow." "Yes, father." "Help!" "Let me go!" "Hsiao Hung, go quickly, go quickly." "Help!" "Help!" "You go quickly." "Bitch, where are you going." "No..." "Uncle, help!" "Who are the trio?" "They're the Three Tigers of Kuan Hsi." "The Three Tigers of Kuan Hsi." "They're the special guards... of the Roc Society" "I hear that the Society has recently... swallowed up other societies." "Right, they now have branches... in the 12 cities in Kiangnan." "Besides, their Chief is cold blooded." "and influential in the underworld." "Have we any men inside the Roc Society?" "Yes, we have men everywhere." "What will you do if I let you handle it?" "Uncle, we'll kill anyone... who should be killed." "The chief of the Roc Society is here." "The Chief is here." "Make way." "Where are the men?" "Sir." "Are you the new man of Ku Hua Hsien." "No." "Then why are you here?" "Because I want to see you on business." "I hear that you of ten come to Ku Hua Hsien, to buy curios." "So I bought it up... to seek an audience with you." "You're extraordinary." "What's your surname?" "I am Lu." "I hear that Uncle Sun Yu's right-hand man, is Lu Hsiang-chuan, and not his son" "I'm Lu Hsiang-chuan." "Please wait" "Wait." "There may be secret weapons inside." "Ridiculous." "We all know that Lu Hsiang-chuan... has 72 secret weapons with him." "He need not hide it inside the box." "The position attained by the chief, is not incidental." "And so has Uncle Sun Yu... who has a right-hand man like you?" "Compliments from Uncle." "What does Uncle Sun Yu want in return?" "He wants to use these... to exchange for your Three Tigers." "I see, you want my Three Tigers." "Well, come with me." "Please!" "Normally, these is no admittance here." "Come..." "let me introduce you." "Mr. Lu" "He's the last generation of Nan Kung... and one of the underworld men." "Nan Kung Yuan." "I've heard a lot about you." "I've heard much about your brilliant past." "That which is gone is always precious." "Life is a dream." "I am now only an eater in the Society." "As he is a connoisseur..." "I've placed my curios under his custody." "Come, come..." "These are some of my valuables." "Which one do you like?" "The tripod of Shang;" "Elephant of Persia," "Jade of the Warring States," "Horse of the Tang Dynasty." "Each of these is precious." "Well, pick two of them..." "And bring them back to Uncle." "You're probably mistaken, sir." "He want's not curios, but men... and he means it." "Alright..." "The men you need are all here." "To seek men from Roc society, would be overdoing it a bit." "I came to take the Three Tigers." "Outsiders please stay away." "We're the Tigers." "Tell us your name... so we know who's coming to die." "You don't have to know my name... for the one who dies is not me," "you must ask me first." "No need." "Whoever Uncle wants to kill... deserves to be killed." "Stop!" "Men!" "Kill them if you think you can... get out of here after the killing." "If you think you can stop me... please turn round." "What are you up to?" "Didn't you hear what Brother Lu said?" "So you're Uncle's man." "You've been here for 10 years." "These years I've been spending his money." "One, two, three." "Mr. Nan Kung I've finished." "Excuse me." "Please." "Give my regards to Uncle." "I'll, I'll, thank you." "Please!" "How are you going to get away?" "Anyone who works for Uncle is selfless." "The flowers wither hastily... because of the cold morning and windy night." "Memories linger on." "Life's sorrow, flows like a stream." "Miss, Miss, look!" "You want to catch the butterfly?" "Who are you?" "I'm a passer-by who lost his way, having strayed, luckily by chance." "I overheard your charming poem." "You understand poems?" "No, but I like them." "Do you understand butterflies?" "No, but I like them." "Butterflies always live in Spring." "Their beauty goes away with Spring." "So they say butterflies are like love." "It's beautiful but doesn't last long." "If you don't catch it when it comes... you'll lose it when Spring over." "Well, we've talked too much." "Goodbye." "Miss, I am Meng." "Don't tell me." "I don't want to know." "We're not friends." "We are not, and shall never be friends." "Why?" "For many who wanted to be friend me... died in the place where you stand." " Are you afraid of death?" " No, I am not." "Those who go against me always die first." " What is your name?" " Meng Sheng-hun." "It's a nice name." "Go straight on and you'll find the way." "Thank you." "This butterfly..." "Keep it... or you'll never catch it when Spring's over." "Alright, it will remind me of the lovely place I passed through." "The butterfly's beautiful." "Yeh Hsiang." "Where did you catch it?" "In the Butterfly Forest." "Have you been the Butterfly Forest." "No." "Don't drink so much." "Why not?" "I'm not going to hold the sword." "A killer taking a slip once... will have no self-confidence." "The boss said it was because... you were in love with a girl." "No, I loved a girl... and almost got killed because of her." "Sheng-hun, we were adopted by Kao..." "Since childhood." "We're like brothers." "Listen..." "Name, family, and love," "are not for people like us." "With them, we can't keep cool and succeed." "But those who fail can get..." "What you successful people can't get." "Sir, the boss wants to see you." "Please!" "Boss, what can I do for you?" "How are things since you've seen Uncle?" "It's not easy to proceed." "We all know it's not easy... but for the sake of the money... we must do it before the other Society." "The Chief of the Roc Society." "Uncle has clashed with the Roc Society, and the Chief of the Society has proceeded." "Here they are." "Yes, these are things sent by the Roc Society." "Wait, open them slowly." "Yes!" "I wonder why the Roc Society yielded so easily." "Where are you going?" "To smash the Roc castle." "No, you mustn't fall into their trap." "We must be more patient than they." " Hsiang..." " Yes." "What do you think their next move will be?" "Their next move will be... to wait for our next move." "Then we'll bury Chang and his daughter." "Sun Chien, you'll conduct the funeral rite." "Tomorrow our men will pose as... coffin carriers, grave digger, and monks, etc." "We must also find a place easily ambushed." "What if they didn't show up?" "With your presence, they will." "Listen, we came here to kill Sun Chien." "Outsiders please keep away." "The Roc Society is here." "We came specially to kill you." "No, you came here to get killed." "Come on!" "Sun Chien..." "Brother Lu has planned well..." "We've revenged for Chang and his daughter." "The Chief of the Roc would be mad about it." "Hsiao Tieh." "Hsiao Tieh, Hsiao Tieh, Hsiao Tieh." "Sir..." "Sir..." "The most difficult enemy in the world... is a traitor." "Who picked the coffin carriers?" "I did." "They've been our men... for three generations... and are well-known for their loyalty." "Is there really nothing in this world... that can't be bought with money." "The Chief of the Roc Society" "A2" "NAVIGATOR LU MAN-TIEN" "D1" "PEH SHENG TEMPLE I CHIEN-LUNG" "Uncle, Feng Hao is here." " Go and find Han Tang at once." " Yes." "Come back, where are you going?" "I'm going to find Han Tang." "Do you know where he lives?" "No, I don't." "This is Han Tang's address." "You mustn't let anyone see it." "We keep his address confidential... for they know his life means my life." "Help!" "Help, brother, help?" "We're Uncle's men who have been trapped." "Please offer us a hiding place." "Brother, I beg you." "Brother!" "Brother!" "I already told you... you can't get away." "Come over and get killed!" "Stop, do you really want them?" "Of course." "Well... you've all come to kill me!" "You'll wonder how we've found you." "Of course, someone told us... but you'll never find out who did." "Who are you?" "The Chief of the Roc Society... wants to kill me." "We all know your life means Uncle's life." "Fight!" "So it's you." "Actually, if you don't join them..." "I know it's you who came to kill me." "No wonder Uncle said a friend's weapon... is the most fatal." "Did he die before your arrival?" "Yes, he did." "Anybody knows it?" "No, I came direct to see you on return." "See that no one knows Han Tang's death." "I will." "Mr. Lu is here." "You go down first." "Yes." "Mr. Lu." "I got your urgent message." "What happened?" "Han Tang has died after Sun Chien." "There are spies in our Society." "Yes, I heard I Chien-lung betrayed us." "Is this true?" "DEOREE" "He even returned my Dragon Head decree." "Did he kill Han Tang?" "No, only Lu Hsiang-chuan and I... know Han Tan's residence." "Lu Hsiang-chuan?" "He's my godson and your nephew." "I can't help suspecting him... for many things... can only be done by him." "Then why don't you kill him?" "Because I like him and hope he didn't do it." "I'm still trying to spy on him." "Do you?" "If he were not a traitor... he would not know what's happened to Han." "I also know many of the Roc Society's men... are gathering in Tai Fang Inn, Hangchow." "So you want Hsiang-chuan to find Han Tang." "Yes, we'll tail him, and on reaching there, everything will come to light." "Mr. Lu, you've only just returned." "Where are you going now?" "I've to go to Hangchow on urgent business." "Hangchow?" "LU HSIANG CHUAN IS GOING TO HANGOHOW" "GRAND INN" "Come in, please." "Sit down please." "What will you have, sir?" "Anything will do." "Okay, okay." "Han Tang is having a secret talk... with the Roc Society men in Tai Fang Inn." "You go there and try to kill him." "The food and drink are ready, sir." "Anyone living upstairs, sir?" " No, they're all dead." " Why?" "Because the Roc men never spare anyone." "Seven-Star Needle." "Black Palm, the helmsman of the Roc Society." "Han Tang... so you've ganged up with the Roc." "No." "I am not Han Tang." "Han Tang has been killed by us." "As we expected." "Uncle has suspected... that you killed Han Tang." "He's fallen into our trap and sold you." "The Lung Men Society days are numbered!" "Fight!" "So the Inn's become your burial place." "Fight!" "Uncle, luckily you arrived in time... or I might have been killed here." "They said Han Tang was killed." "Yes, we know that." "Because we suspected you killed him... you've fallen into their trap." "That day we omitted to count Feng Hao." "He wouldn't have done that." "Besides, he wouldn't have such guts." "They said I was double-crossed." "This means there are spies in our Society." "I know." "I believe the spy will come out soon." "You're looking for me?" "It's now a golden opportunity for us." "First, Uncle and the Roc Society." "Have suffered set backs." "Second," "To fight with the Chief of the Roc Society," "Uncle is recruiting new fighters." "He needs an outstanding man like you." "But they'll probe my background." "I've arranged a new identity for you." "You'll be Chin Chung-ting." "Here are details of the Chin clan." "We already have our man there, who will contact you on your arrival." " Have you any questions?" " No." "Then I have one." "When will you leave?" "Now." "How did you get here?" "I just headed south from the road." "Why?" "I've come to catch butterflies in Spring." "Do you know many died where you stand?" "You told me anyone can die... no matter where they stand." "You really have guts." "It's time for eating." "Would you come in and join me for a drink?" "Would it be convenient?" "We have poet Li Po's poems here... but all formalities are abolished." "If you're not a friend... you can't step in, even if you've an army." "Thank you." "Please?" "Waking from my drink," "I don't know where I am." "Life's partings." "What'll happen next year?" "I don't know where I shall be next year." "Are you a man of the underworld?" "As you can see, I am a killer." "No wonder you're taking life lightly." "Formerly, I also had a killer friend... who liked poems." "On finding out that, father had him killed." "Over this I quarreled with him, and moved out." "Who's your father?" "You don't have to know." "He no longer treats me as his daughter." "Why did you come to see me today?" "I was passing through trying to kill someone." "Kill?" "Are you not afraid of death?" "I've been used to it from childhood." "But now I hope I may live on." "Why?" "Because I love the butterflies here." "A colleague told me... that love is not for people... in our line of profession." "We go out every morning..." "Without knowing whether we may return." "It's not early." "I must be off." "Thank you for the hospitality, Miss." "Mr. Meng." "Spring's particularly long here." "Come again to catch butterflies on your return." "I really hope I can return... but don't wait when Spring's over." "Goodbye." "Thanks for the trouble" "May I know your name?" "I am Hsiao Tieh." "Why do you offer yourself to me?" "I'm not offering myself to anyone." "I only want to see who can be my friend." "You or the Chief of the Rocs." "Hsiang Chuan, have you seen him before?" "He was here on your birthday." " What is his name?" " I forget." "How can you forget?" "I didn't try to remember it... because I knew he didn't use his true name, when he came here." "You're extraordinary." "So are you." "What's your real name?" "A name may be false, but not a friend." "Since I came to make friends with you... why ask my name?" "How are we going to address you then?" "His name is Chin Chung-ting." "Chin Chung-ting." "What's your relationship with Chin Hu-hua, the master of the biggest Chin clan?" "He is my uncle." " Have you seen him recently" " Yes." "How's his asthma?" "He has no asthma." " Hsiang Chuan." " Yes." "Prepare a room for him." "Yes, Uncle." "We have our man there... who'll contact you on your arrival." "Meng Sheng-hun." "Close the door... and blow out the candle." "Why didn't you come here before now?" "You should have come two weeks ago." "Lu Man-tien." "Luckily I did the asking today." "Uncle's best friend has betrayed him." "To fly high... one must have no scruples." "When are you going to do it?" "At an appropriate moment." "Uncle never gives others any chance." "You mustn't wait." "When do you want me to do it?" " Tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "Yes, tomorrow night." "Uncle lives alone in a garden." "The quietest time in Lung Men Castle... is in the evening... when everyone's bathing or retiring... after a hard day's work... and entry's not allowed to his garden." "He usually takes a nap before dinner." "Only when he's taking a nap... does he take off his bullet-proof gauze." "Only then can your sword pierce his heart." "How am I going to enter his garden?" "I've already dug a tunnel for you... under the flower tree." "Are there any traps in the garden?" "Yes, but I can stop them." "What's my chance of success?" "At least seventy percent." "Enough?" "Yes, usually fifty percent is enough." " I'll wait for your good news tomorrow." " Good." "Yeh Hsiang, go and kill Uncle at once." "Why?" "I know Meng Sheng-hun passed through..." "Butterfly Forest before going to Lung Men." "You know who lives in Butterfly Forest?" "Yes, Uncle's daughter, Hsiao Tieh." "Suppose Meng should love Hsiao Tieh." "He should not kill Uncle." "But we got an order to kill him." "I already told him that love is not... for us in this line of profession." "Yeh Hsiang, you go and kill Uncle." "You should have killed him long ago." "3 years ago you were in Butterfly Forest... and you fell in love with... a pretty girl because of her poems." "She's Hsiao Tieh," "Uncle's only daughter." "The girl also loved you... but when this was known to Uncle... he couldn't tolerate it." "So he sent Han Tang to kill you." "You two fought for three days and nights." "Finally you were beaten by Han Tang... but the latter spared you." "Since then, you became a drunkard... and have been drinking for these 3 years." "It was Uncle who brought you to this state." "You should kill him in retaliation." "Look at my hands." "Can they kill Uncle?" "Besides, I can't kill Hsiao Tieh's father." "Hell with Hsiao Tieh." "We got girls here?" "I can satisfy men better than any girls." "Come, take off your pants!" "I want you to know I'm a real woman... and no one can match me." "Boss, what's the matter with you?" "What I thought you only can't kill... but you can't fulfill this." "Don't come here." "Don't play horse." "I'll use my hands." "Come, it's better than you use your hands." "Hell with you, bitch." "Get out, get out, get out." "Yeh Hsiang, anyway." "I want you to kill..." "Uncle tomorrow evening before Meng does..." "Or you'll not live." "Get away, what's there to see?" "Get out." "Tomorrow evening." "This is my room." "The camellia here is growing well." "It looks exceptionally beautiful today." "To see the flowers," "I didn't take a nap." "Well, why do you come here?" "I was moving around... and came here without knowing it." "Did Hsiang Chuan tell you... that you may move freely in the castle... but not in this garden." "If I had taken a nap here... as I usually did at this hour... you might have killed me, if you wanted to." "Doctor?" "Men." "These here are my special traps." "Tell Lu to bring the man who shook the bell." "Yes." "Is the bell-man your friend?" "Only the doctor could be permitted to shake." "There're no families in this vicinity... and an ordinary doctor will not come here." "Besides, the sound of the bell seems... to herald the arrival of a killer." "Come with me, if you don't believe." "Uncle, the doctor is here." "You've come at the right time." "We need a doctor." " Any patients here?" " No." "Fortunately, for that I can't give a treatment." "What can you do then?" "I can kill." "Who do you want to kill?" " You, of course." " Why?" "Because I heard no one can kill you." "Men, have you heard... that I have a bullet-proof garment." "Now I see it." "I never imagined I can't kill you either." "Friend, what are you risking your life for?" "Nonsense." "Who are you?" "Do you remember that for your daughter... you asked Han Tang to kill Yeh Hsiang." "So it was you, and you didn't die." "Han Tang may not have killed me... but from that day I've become a dead body." "You came to kill me in revenge?" "I want to kill you before another does." "I also do it for Hsiao Tieh's sake." "Go back, you'll get killed trying to kill." "I've been fed up with life these years." "As Tieh's taken care of..." "I'll die peacefully." "Let him die if he's sick of living." " Hsiang." " Yes." " Take him out." " Yes." "You didn't cry?" "Why should I cry?" "He risked his life telling you about Tieh." "He wanted to kill me before you did." "How do you know?" "I've someone taking care of Hsiao Tieh." "I know everything about her." "Why didn't you kill me yesterday?" "Maybe for the sake of Hsiao Tieh." "Maybe I want to learn from you... who the ringleader is." "I won't tell you." "You need not tell me." "I'll know in a minute." "Uncle, Lu Man-tien has committed suicide." "If you don't die, I have to die." "He can't be the ringleader." "He was poisoned." "How do you know?" "If not, he could have run away." "But the one hiding should have come out." "Strangely... the only one I can trust now... is you who came to kill me." "Sometimes one trusts an enemy... more than a friend." "You know who I am." "I don't." "I only know in recent years... there has been a famous killer... who has killed many master swordsmen." "My name is Meng Sheng-hun." "Uncle, the men you want are all here." "Don't break the news of Lu Man-tien's death." "Tomorrow morning," "I'll attack Roc Castle." "One can easily fail... in a happy moment." "Tonight the Chief of the Roc would feel..." "Lu Man-tien has made it." "He'll be in triumph tomorrow morning." "Go and do something urgent for me." "I've a crack unit with Hsiao Tieh." "Bring it back at once from the forest." "This is a secret mandate." " Sun Nan." " Yes." " Send four guards to escort Mr. Chin." " Yes." " Feng Hao." " Yes." "You gather the four groups of men at once and arm them." "Yes." " Hsiang Chuan." " Yes." " Close the door behind you." " Yes." "Come with me." "I'll take you to a place... you've never been to before." "Come in." "This box contains a list... showing the 380 branches of our society." "The map contains the addresses... of our 380 branches." "These cabinets contain files... on our business activities and assets... in different parts of the country." "The other side shows the persons in charge, and their background." "Some are important secret orders." "This room contains everything... belonging to our Society." "Only the boss can enter it." "Then why do you bring me here?" "Tomorrow morning I'll attack Roc Castle." "I'll certainly return in triumph." "But one can never tell." "I want to make prior arrangements." "What is it?" "Did father ask you to come for the soldiers?" "Yes, where are they?" "Since I Ieft home, I've not seen father." "How could he have stationed soldiers here?" "It's incredible." "He gave me 2 sealed orders." "Open them and see." "OPEN THIS LATER" "OPEN THIS FIRST" "THINGS HAVE CHANGED, KILL THE FOLLOWERS IMMEDIATELY" "Things are ready outside?" "Yes." "You, you..." "I used the Seven-Star Needle." "You told me there's no remedy for it." "I had thought only you could have done it, but I dared not believe it was you." "You made two mistakes in your life." "First, you suspected me, then trusted me." "Second, you knew it and didn't trust yourself." "Hsiang-chuan, have I mistreated you?" "No, but so long as you're alive..." "I cannot take your place." "It seems you collaborated with the Roc Chief." "Only a strong enemy like him... can frighten you." "You've put your trust in me only... because your son and friends... have fallen one after another." "Otherwise, you wouldn't have... given me the decree tonight, would you?" "What about Sun Chien and Han Tang?" "Who else could have killed them... if not me?" "Who else could've killed Han behind backs?" "What about Lu Man-tien, your uncle?" "He could have been spared..." "If you hadn't used Meng Sheng-hun." "You also killed many Roc men in the Inn." "I had to do that... to win your confidence." "It seems you've planned well." "Of course, otherwise I could not kill you." "Are you sure you can kill me?" "Absolutely..." "You can't move in your present state" "Well, my last words to you are... tomorrow's attack of the Rocs is a fake." "I gave you the decree only to test you out." "Never reveal all your secrets." "You must keep something from others... to avoid getting killed... at the crucial moment." "Pull the rope." "Uncle, you can't go far... after you've been hit by my needle." "How's Mr. Lu?" " Send someone to dig the canal." " Yes." " Send someone to the forest to kill Meng." " Yes." "I've searched, sir, but there's none inside." "Let's ask the family there." "Go." "Old pal, old pal... do you know where the girl is... in the Butterfly Forest?" "How should I know?" " Thank you." " Don't mention it." "Chase!" "The men in the Forest have disappeared." "Something must have happened to Uncle." "Prepare the coach quickly." "You're Ma Fang-chung." " You're Ma Fang-chung?" " You're Sun Chu." " Yes, come down with me." " Okay." "Over there." "Quick, support him." "Close the door quickly." "Fang-chung, is the coach ready?" "It's been ready for over 10 years." "Sun Ohu, go and see if there's anyone outside." "Yes." "Who did it?" " Lu Hsiang-chuan." " Really?" "Uncle, there's no one outside." "Remember, you must stop at the shop in town, and enquire of them about the way." "I know." "Uncle, we shall never meet again." "Thanks for saving my life 15 years ago." "Speak no more of it." "Brother Ma, I'll count on you." " Don't worry, brother." " Thank you." "Is this man reliable?" "Of course, he waited for me in the canal... for 15 years." "Do you think he is reliable?" "How are things with the well?" "Daddy, daddy." "They're your kids." "One is 8 and the other is 6 years old." "I saved Fang-chung's life... and you saved my life." "I'll repay you the rest of my life." "Yu Hsia, do you remember I was sentenced... to death for killing a mandarin... and was rescued by Uncle 18 years ago?" "I've been grateful to him... for saving my husband." "But..." "Don't let anyone know about Uncle." "Yu Hsia, loyalty's precious in life." "Let's sacrifice the kids." "Come." "POISON" "Have some more." "It's really nice!" "Quiet." "Ma will give you something to eat." "Really?" "What is it?" "Quiet!" "Listen to papa and mama!" "Finish it, finish quickly" "I'll give you something to eat again." "I want some more." "Eat congee!" "Congee, it's nice." "Your bowl's bigger." "I want yours." "Don't." "I must." "Mama gave it to me." "I am older than you." "Quiet, quiet!" "Come, eat quickly!" "After eating, papa will take you somewhere." "Where?" "A faraway and beautiful place." "On getting there, our family will never part again." "That is great." "Let's eat." "I'll take you there." "Eat." "Have one more mouthful." "And you too." "Have some more." "And you too." "Stop." " Search." " Yes." "Mr. Lu, there are traces of a coach." " Get the horse." " Yes." "DRAGON GATE INN" "WINE" "Boss, someone in my coach is hurt." "Will you give me some water, please?" "Okay." "Thank you, thank you." "Uncle, you drink first." "We'll leave at once." "Uncle, I've finished the thing you want." "I've completed the journey you wanted me to." "Are you sure there's someone in the coach?" "Yes." "The driver even brought him water." "Mr. Lu, we've searched everywhere." "We can't go wrong." "I won't set my mind at ease... unless I find his body." " Who's inside?" " Someone who's looking for you." "Why are you also here?" "You promised that after Uncle's dead..." "You'll give me the title deed... for the forest and 100,000 taels." "But Uncle was not killed by Meng Sheng-hun." "You didn't want him to kill Uncle." "You only used him to puzzle Uncle." "Because you know only one man can kill him." "You know everything." "Yes, we're birds of the same feather." "Aren't you afraid I may not give you?" "No." "Because only I know you killed Uncle... and only I know what you want." "Come, come quickly." "Coming, coming." "Did father say this is the place?" "Yes." "Run." "Go to Peh Sheng Temple, and burn 3 candles there." " You'll be contacted." " White candle." "Miss, look." "Let me do it." "Look." "I Hsien-lung." "Uncle I." "He betrayed Uncle several months ago." "Wait." "Meng Sheng-hun, if I betrayed Uncle... would I have come to meet you here?" "All this was Uncle's plan." "You probably know that Uncle always... make's prior arrangements for everything." "Uncle I, where is my father now?" "Your father told me when we wear in white." "It means the Society's in trouble." "Let's arm ourselves and wait for him here." "Then he's still..." "Don't worry." "No one can kill him, not even you." "I only said there's no remedy for the needle." "Yet one with internal control..." "May be exempt from the poison." "The day's coming soon." "LU HSIANG CHUAN" "Wang Wei, have you considered if our deal... with the Roc Society's to our advantage?" "Sir, the zero percent profit-sharing... is to our advantage." " Lu Shan." " Yes." "Have our men in the north had any news... about I Hsien-lung and Meng Sheng-hun?" "No, we only heard... they appeared for a while in Shantung and then disappeared." "But sooner or later they'll come to us." "Right." "When will the Chief of the Roc arrive?" "Feng Hao's waiting for him outside." "He will be here at noon." "There are guests." "Wait." "So it's the Chief of the Roc Society." "The Chief of the Roc Society's here." "Sir, please!" "There must be more than one man inside." "Who are you?" "I Fu." "Meng Sheng-hun." "And you?" "Impossible, you couldn't have lived!" "I told you nothing's absolute." "There's always another possibility." "You're wrong." "Without finding your body..." "I'll always wait for you." "You've taught me to let others under-rate you, but never under-rate others." "Now it's your mistake." "Fight." "Feng Hao, bring the men outside." " Yes." " No need." "Men." "Uncle, the men outside have either died... or defected." "Now we're the only ones... inside and outside the Lung Men Society." "Lu, you've followed me many years." "Probably you've not learned this maneuver." "Fight." "Rattan shield." "The tunnel." "So you're here." "I heard you're the most famous killer." "See if you can kill me." "Do you think I stand any chance?" "Not the slightest chance... for I have never been defeated." "I've never met one I can't kill either." "You're quite nimble." "You've lived up to your name." "You're not bad also." "You forget what I wear." "It's bullet-proof... but may be hurt by internal skill." "You're the only man here." "You want to wait for death or what." "Lu Hsiang-chuan is Lu Hsiang-chuan." "Hsiang-chuan, what is it?" "Close the door quickly." "Where are the gold and notes?" "The 200,000 taels of gold and $500,000... are in the box in the back room." "And the horse?" "In the backyard." "Uncle is right." "One must prepare for anything." " Any wine?" " Here." "Hsia Ching, do you remember our youth?" "We used to starve and steal together, and pass many cold nights." "And you've supported me for over 20 years." "Everyone must have a true friend... so that when fate's against him... he will not feel lonely." "No, men like you have no friend's." "You think of getting away again." "I've chosen this last place for you." "Hsia Ching, you..." "I learned it from you." "You can betray him." "So can I betray you." "I have already poisoned it." "You've also drunk the wine." "But it's not the same wine." "You said yourself what I want to kill... should be killed and can be killed." "Master, master." "Miss is here." "Sheng-hun, come with me." "Sheng-hun, you may go with Hsiao Tieh." "Why?" "If you stay, you may kill me some day... for there's always a power struggle" "Alright." "You can go now." "Yes." "Where there are swords, there are killings." "Good-bye." "It seems the ancients made swords... for the sake of power struggle."
