"According to ancient philosophers, spring and summer are seasons for birth and growth," "Autumn and winter are the seasons ?" "Farewell in the harsh autumn" "The atmosphere is bleak and chilly" "Leaves fade and worms weep mournfully" "Hills and rivers lied at the silent passing." "Thanks to the God's sympathy," "Obeying the spring and autumn's cycle," "The local authority will execute the death row criminal until fall" "During the Han Dynasty, the Premier Xiao He, decreed that execution should be done in autumn then it has named "Execution in Autumn"" "Halt" "I don't want to go back" "I don't want to go back" "You have no choice." "I don't want to go back!" "Even if you kill me, I won't go back!" "I won't go back!" "Get him back." "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Hurry!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Who's there?" "His grandmother Chen." "Let her in." "Open the door!" "Where's my grandson?" "Over there." "Stop!" "No more!" "No more!" "Who says so?" "I said so." "I said no." "Stop!" "Stop pushing." "Stop pushing." "Stop pushing." "Why do you torture him so?" "Why are you so cruel?" "Don't push, listen to me." "Stop, don't push." "Lay down, take a rest." "He is hurt, order him to stop." "You're so brutal." "Not enough." "One more mistake and I'll break his leg!" "You dare?" "!" "Stop pushing it." "Treat my grandson better and you'll be rewarded." "Rewards have nothing to do with it." "We had to restrain him." "Forget him!" "You can throw your money away." "Unless you kill me, I'm going to escape." "Try it.. if you want to die." "Fool!" "No need to escape." "I told you, you won't be here too long." "I'll get you out." "I can't stand this place any longer!" "You try to stay here one day." "I know." "I'm more anxious than you." "I've contacted someone." "You'll be free soon." "Tell me, you can trust me." "If there's a way, I'll do it." "There is a way, if you're willing." "I'm at your service." "Offical Cao," "I hear you're interested in antiques." "Our family has had this for generations." "Well..." "So precious an heirloom..." "I dare not take it, but..." "She's one of the family." "One of my maiden relatives." "When her parents died, I brought her up." "She won't tell anybody." "Take it." "If you insist, madam." "The retrial is set for the day after tomorrow." "A verdict is expected." "Tell your grandson to watch me for cues." "I'll tell him, tomorrow." "If he answers the questions properly" "I'm sure he'll escape the death sentence." "Wait." "That's not good enough." "I want him released quickly." "Bear in mind he's our only male heir." "It's really he who is our precious heirloom." "Pei Kong." "Why did you kill those three people?" "What actually happened?" "Give it to me straight!" "The Master asks, if you had reason to kill them." "I killed them, all right." "But it wasn't my fault." "Tell me!" "All right, here's the story." "There was a girl named Chun Tao." "I used to visit her often." "Then she had a baby." "She insisted it was mine." "I didn't want the bastard!" "How do you know the baby wasn't yours?" "I just went there for fun." "I wasn't the only man she had!" "If that baby is mine" "I must have many others, too." "I haven't seen you all month." "Why do you deny the baby is yours?" "I only came for fun." "Baby, huh?" "Who knows who the father is?" "It doesn't look like me." "What?" "If it's not yours, whose is it?" "What other man have I had?" "Too many!" "Who cares?" "The child's not mine!" "Then why did she claim it was yours?" "What was she after?" "Money!" "She knew I had money." "What are you trying to do?" "You're heartless." "You'll never get away with it." "Give me money." "I'll kill you if you don't." "What can you do to me?" "Get lost." "Let's go in." "Who were those two men?" "Her cousins." "But they didn't look like it." "What do you mean by "look like"?" "Your honor, they can't fool me" "One look and I know bad eggs" "They'd also slept with Chun Toa." "Master, obviously a frame up." "Blackmail." "Did you give them money?" "What!" "Give money to them?" "Do you take me for a fool?" "I gave them a lesson." "So they pulled knives on you, you had to fight back." "I wanted them to know this man is no sucker." "That's one down!" "He must've been tired of life." "Silence!" "How can you be proud of what you did?" "It was kill or be killed." "Master, circumstances forced him to kill." "It was self-defence." "No need to stand up for him." "Yes, your Honor." "Once I made up my mind, I did a thorough job." "That was ruthless and cruel." "Master, have mercy on me!" "How could I have mercy on her?" "So you let her go?" "I beg you, please!" "No, I had to get even with her." "Pei Gang!" "Killing the armed men, that's understandable." "You may have killed the men in self-defence" "But the woman didn't strike back." "Why didn't you let her go?" "I was sick of being duped." "Threatened." "Blackmailed." "She wasn't your wife." "She owed you no loyalty." "She only blackmailed you for some money." "You murdered her!" "Did you expect to get away with it?" "At that time, it never occured to me." "Think carefully." "Now maybe you'd lost your senses?" "Lost my senses?" "You only wanted to threaten her but in your outrage you lost control and accidentally killed her." "How do you know it wasn't intentional?" "You didn't actually see it." "Sir, my observation is based on logic." "A man like him?" "He has no logic." "Your honor, I cannot lie." "Black is black, white is white." "I didn't lose my head." "I was so mad, I wanted to kill her." "Put all that on the record." "I already have." "You're a brutal man." "You killed people in cold blood." "The killing wasn't enough, then you tried to escape." "I have no choice but to sentence you to death." "You sentence me to death?" "I'll kill you first!" "That's outrageous!" "Take him away." "You wait and see!" "Killing me won't be easy." "My grandmother will get me out!" "My grandmother will get me out!" "You should have come to me earlier." "Why did you wait until now?" "Before, I pinned all my hope on the court official." "How could you trust such scum?" "You didn't give it enough thought." "Please, don't rub it in." "What's to be done now?" "There's still hope." "The magistrate's decision isn't final." "There's lots of channels and then there's the capital." "The Emperor has the last word." "This autumn has already passed." "The execution wouldn't be until next autumn." "We have a whole year to work on it." "You're right." "I know you've got good connections." "So I hope you get on this right away." "Nephew's case isn't big, but it's tricky." "You'll have to spend your money wisely." "Don't worry about the money." "I'll spend all I have to win the case." "Okay, I will leave right away" "I have a good friend in the royal court." "The sooner you get to work, the better." "I'll sell some land." "That'll give you some to work with." "Leave everything to me." "Don't worry." "You can count on me." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Is anyone there?" "They must all be dead." "Hey!" "Are you all dead?" "Are you dumb or something?" "Are you talking to me?" "Who else?" "Why didn't you say something?" "I'm stir-crazy." "Grandma hasn't come to see me." "You know?" "Sentenced to death." "That lousy judge." "You have to die sooner or later." "even if you aren't sentenced to death." "When we're born, we're all sentenced to death." "You want to die?" "Go ahead." "I don't want to die." "Hurry up." "Get in." "What do you want?" "Get my grandmother here." "I don't have the time." "Well, I never thought we would be neighbors" "Who the hell are you?" "You don't know me but I've been to your house." "I never saw you before." "No, of course not." "You couldn't have seen me." "I came only at night, just to pick up a few things." "You're coming just in time." "Your grandson wants to see you." "What's in there?" "Open it up." "Some blankets, nothing else." "Open it up." "What if there is a knife in it then I'm really in trouble." "Don't pick on her." "I'll show you in." "People of our profession like to make friends." "Now that we are neighbors the next time I break into your house you should be nice to me." "Shut up." "What took you so long?" "I'm on death row and you don't care one bit." "Relax!" "Your uncle just left for the capital." "When he comes back, you'll be a free man." "You're putting me on again." "Have I ever fooled you?" "I don't want to eat." "You've never kept your word to me." "You said I'd get out soon." "Now I'm going to die." "You said you'd always get me out of trouble." "Now I'm going to be beheaded." "It's all your fault." "You can't talk to your grandmother like that." "She's begging for help everywhere and even sold her land to help you." "How can you blame her?" "What the hell do you know?" "Stay out of this." "Go ask her yourself." "If she's not to blame, who is?" "Stop it!" "What are you trying to do?" "I want to teach that beast a lesson for you." "This is our business." "You stay out of this." "He's absolutely right." "I'm to blame for this." "I should be blamed." "It's my fault he's here." "He's the only son in three generations of Pei's." "Most of our children died young." "And he's the only one left." "Grandma." "What happened?" "Who has hurt you?" "Grandma" "Is anything the matter?" "The young master took our toy horse away." "He's also beat our child." "Oh, he really beat him?" "It's nothing, only a minor cut." "It's nothing, only a minor cut." "We didn't want to make trouble." "But we don't have money for a doctor." "Give them the money." "Thank you, you're very kind." "That's all right." "Now you may leave." " Thank you." "Thank you." "They scared you, your face is so pale." "Don't be afraid." "No matter what trouble" "Grandma will always get you out of it." "Look, Grandma." "Is that the stolen horse?" "Throw it away." "I'll get you a new horse tomorrow." "Grandma." "A little pay-off was nothing." "But that was only the beginning." "After that, things got out of hand." "It's all my fault." "I'm telling you all this for one reason." "Don't take it out on him." "I've spoiled him." "I got him in here." "And I can get him out." "His uncle has already gone to the capital." "He won't be in here for long." "Quickly!" "Move, move." "Get out of here." "Go get some fresh air." "Hurry." "Move quickly." "Who gave you permission to sit down?" "Get up." "You're a real nuisance." "When we can't allow you out, you demand to go." "When we allow you, you won't go." "Stand up." "Stand up!" "Stand up!" "Stop!" "Are you trying to run away?" "Go back." "Stand over there." "Help!" "That was a dumb thing to do." "How dare you offend the prison guard?" "Run when you can, otherwise put up with things." "Sooner or later, you'll get out." "When I get out, I'll steal again." "And when I have money, I have fun." "Nobody can put a finger on me." "Don't listen to his nonsense" "Who's that you're talking about?" "He is not your kind." "You're hopeless." "He's not as bad as you are." "What have I done to offend you?" "Who do you think you are?" "Okay, if I'm so bad and you're so good, how come you are in jail too?" "I'm serving a sentence for my father." "My father couldn't pay his debts, so he was given one year in jail." "He was too old and weak to be punished so I'm here instead." "You asked for it." "You must like it here." "You just want a place to get free meals and free board." "Stop arguing!" "Get me out of here." "I can't stand it any longer" "If I stay on, the old man will torture me to death." "Nobody ever dared touch me before." "That didn't do you any good." "Only hardships can turn you into a man." "She's a pretty good dancer." "Let's drink." "Uncle is in the tavern." "Get him out here." "Grandma wants a word with you." "Oh!" "I haven't seen you for a long time." "When did you get back?" "Just a few days ago." "I meant to come see you." "How did it go?" "It'll take time." "You can't rush this." "Unfortunately, my friend wasn't in the capital." "So I came back." "But I plan to go again." "Have you really been to the capital?" "Yes, I have." "You really have a friend in the Royal Court?" "I surely do." "The boy's life is at stake." "I don't want any tricks." "But, my dear lady, nobody can guarantee anything." "If you weren't sure, why'd you promise?" "I've been counting on you." "Swindling a little money isn't important but my boy's life!" "You'll be punished for that." "Wow!" "She's a tough old bird." "You're not getting anywhere." "You took it all the way to the top and got nowhere." "There's no hope in this case." "He confessed everything in court." "He wanted to be tough." "What could I do?" "Nobody can help him." "I won't give up that easily." "I can't just sit by while he's executed" "and watch the Pei's come to an end." "As long as I live," "I'll fight this case." "If you want to break the law," "I'm afraid I can't help you." "What?" "You won't help?" "Your grandson has no chance." "But if you want an offspring" "I've got a good idea." "What've you got in mind?" "Don't tell a soul it's my idea." "Send a girl into his cell." "Set things up with the prison chief yourself." "Remember, the chief is a little odd." "Don't try to look me up again." "That's all I can do." "We'll say goodbye." "Wait here." "Chief." "Chief!" "The food supplies have come." "Just take it in." "What's all the yelling for?" "It's time for you to leave." "I could never agree to this." "In all my years here," "I've never heard such an idea." "If not for my grandson, nor would I." "Why do you persist?" "You know I can't permit it." "I have no alternative." "Here's something for you." "Keep it." "It won't do you any good." "Money won't change my mind." "Then what am I going to do?" "Only one night." "Have a heart." "Do a good deed." "It's not a good deed." "This whole thing is absurd." "No girl would do that." "Don't worry." "I'll get one." "No girl's willing to do a thing like that." "Ruin the rest of her life so that you may have an offspring." "If I can get the girl, would you agree?" "I didn't say I'd agree." "Maybe I can't find the girl." "So you don't have to promise anything right now." "But if I get the girl, I'll need your help." "Please, grant me this one favor." "Wait." "I'd like to speak with you." "You've been a big help to me since my grandson was arrested." "Oh, it was my duty." "You have been in my family since you were only six." "I have always treated you as my own child." "Yes, I know." "I'd never have made it without your help." "I'm glad you realize that." "Your soup is getting cold." "Do you know there is now no hope" "for my grandson?" "It's all my fault." "I've caused his death and ended the Pei family." "Isn't there anything else we can do?" "The prosecutor had an idea." "Send a girl to the jail to marry my grandson." "I never dreamed I'd have to do a thing like that." "I've left no stone unturned but there's no one who's willing." "The warden was right." "What did he say?" "He wouldn't agree at first." "Later he said" "I'd never find anyone willing." "But if I could, he'd help me." "Let's go again." "The streets are full of whores these days." "But I have to get a decent girl." "Grandma, are you asking me to be that girl?" "No, I only want you to think about it." "If anyone loves you, it is I." "We're related through my mother." "But put yourself in my position." "If you're not willing." "Who else would be?" "Do you know what I mean?" "I'll do as you say." "I'm not forcing you into anything." "It's fate that brought us two together." "I don't want to ruin your life." "If you had a son, you'd be head of the family." "You don't have to say any more." "I'm willing to go." "I hate poor people like you." "So you think you're very learned." "If you don't fear death, what's there to fear?" "You wouldn't understand if I told you." "You say I wouldn't understand." "I can't compare with Pei here, but I've enjoyed life more than you." "You live and have fun." "Then you die." "That's all." "You're uptight and alive, but you may as well be dead." "You stupid fool!" "How dare you talk to me like that!" "Shut up!" "Don't say that word." "I hate the thought of death." "Look, it's snowing outside." "It's late winter." "The leaves have fallen." "The grass has withered." "Are they all dead?" "When spring comes," "Tree will sprout and have leaves" "Virility will cover all the hills" "That's all utter nonsense." "That's such utter nonsense." "Leaves might come to life again, but not people." "People die everyday and people are born everyday." "They come and go, one generation after another." "Never take life and death seriously." "Shut up." "I don't want to die and I won't." "Grandma will get me out." "My uncle is coming back from the capital." "Get out." "Move." "What are you up to?" "You want to torture me again?" "Stop torturing him." "Have mercy." "What are you trying to do?" " Move!" "What are you up to now?" "Locking me up all alone?" "That's not necessary." "Dear ancestors." "Listen carefully." "I'm the sinner." "We should all thank Lian Er." "I have done wrong and she took the rap." "Please punish me and bless her." "The Pei's future is in her hands." "She goes in alone." "You go home." "Grandma." "Madam, let's go home." "I want to wait for her." "We can't wait till morning." "Lian Er, what are you doing here?" "Who brought you here?" "Grandma brought me, she's gone home." "Lian Er, you look like a bride." "I got married today to you..." "To me?" "That must be" "Grandma's idea." "You're very beautiful tonight." "At home you always seemed like a little girl." "I'd never thought of marrying you." "Neither had I." "I haven't touched a woman for many months." "Now that you're here, I begin to understand." "That's why I'm locked up in here." "You're here to marry me." "Why can't we wait till I get out?" "Is uncle back from the capital?" "Tell me." "Is he back?" "He tricked us." "He never went there." "That son of a bitch." "Is there any chance of getting out?" "It's hopeless." "Grandma has given up." "That's why you are here to marry me." "All of you cheated me." "You're one of them too." "So you've come to sleep with me for a night, because I'm going to die." "Grandma wants an heir for the Pei's." "Am I right?" "You can say whatever you like." "What I said cannot be wrong." "It's Grandma's big idea." "Tell her I won't do it." "I'm not just an animal." "It's midnight." "Who cares." "Go if you wish." "What am I going to tell Grandma?" "Don't ever mention Grandma again." "She promised to get me out." "She said to wait." "It wouldn't take long." "So she's given up on me." "That old lady really ruined my life." "Why do you hate her so much?" "She trapped me." "I shouldn't have listened to her." "I should never have tried to escape." "It's too late now." "Now I'm going to die for sure." "What are you waiting for?" "Go home!" "What's the family line to be after I'm dead?" "You shouldn't blame Grandma." "Don't you think, you're to blame too?" "Yes, I was wrong... to trust her." "Killing those people was your own mistake." "Grandma loves you too much." "She spoiled you." "If you'd been a decent man," "I wouldn't be marrying you here." "I didn't ask you to come." "I don't blame Grandma." "She's doing this for the Pei's." "That's why I agreed to come." "I don't want you." "Go away." "And don't come back here." "I don't want you to hate me the rest of your life." "Go and marry someone else and don't let anyone know about this." "Now I'm beginning to understand you." "You're not so bad as I thought." "Get out of here and be quick about it." "Lian Er!" "Grandma, didn't you go home?" "I was waiting for you." "What's wrong?" "I can't move my legs." "I beg you, set me free." "Grandma has given up." "Now I'm really going to die." "You are the only one who can help me." "I beg of you." "Let me go!" "On your feet." "Free me." "I'll be grateful the rest of my life." "I'll go straight after I get out." "Scum!" "Just before you die, you ruin a nice girl." "No, I didn't, I didn't." "You're lying." "Cross my heart!" "I swear I didn't." "I never touched her." "Ask her!" "She'll tell you I didn't touch her." "I beg your mercy, my good old man." "Please let me get out of here." "Let you get out?" "You're jinxed!" "If I let you go, I'd die myself." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "Let me go." "Let me go." "I beg of you." "I was a widow when I was only 20." "Life was really tough." "You have to take over from now on." "Grandma, don't say things like that." "I won't live till autumn next year." "You can't leave me alone." "What would I do without you?" "Pei Shun is a good man." "He'll take care of you." "Don't let anyone take advantage of you." "If someone gets tough with you, you should be tougher with him." "I can't go to jail from now on." "Not a word to my grandson." "Hating me helps." "If I die, there's not even that." "Lian Er, look at me." "After the baby's born," "bring him to my grave." "I'll want a good look." "I'll be able to see him all right." "That's better than a funeral." "Don't forget!" "Mistress, the medicine is ready." "Grandma, take the medicine." "Grandma, take the medicine first then sleep." "Grandma." "Grandma." "Grandma!" "Can I have a word with my friend?" "Make it snappy." "Sorry I have to leave you." "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Tell Grandma she must come see me." "Tell my grandma she must come see me." "Don't worry." "I'll deliver the message." "Your grandma may give me a treat." "Let's move." "Here I go." "Move!" "Don't envy him." "He might as well be dead." "I don't want to talk to you." "Who is it?" "Warden, it's me." "Sorry to disturb you at this late hour." "On your feet." "What's on your mind?" "My grandma has passed away." "She asked you to help me out." "Grandma sent you here again?" "She didn't know I came here." "Why are you here?" "I told you to marry someone else." "I can't do it." "Our ancestors already know about us" "I'm doomed." "Do you just want an offspring too?" "I don't know how long you'll live" "Even for a day, an hour." "It could be forever." "We are husband and wife." "I don't want to marry you." "You've never loved me." "Some couples never meet before their marriage." "At least, we were brought up together." "You'll regret it all your life." "Autumn is just around the corner." "By that time, I'll have your son." "The child will keep me company." "Really?" "You want to be a widow all your life?" "If I thought I'd regret it, I'd never have come." "Take a good look at me." "You never have before." "Go away." "I don't want to ruin your life." "If you insist," "I won't come back again." "Are you sure you want this?" "When spring comes, life returns to plants." "Come and sit down." "Qing ming (Tomb Sweeping Festival) is approaching." "It's still early, only February." "How's Grandma?" "She hasn't been here for so long." "She wanted to come, but I told her not to." "She's too old to make the trip." "Sitting down again?" "Did you forget the beating?" "Don't blame him." "It is my fault." "Get up now." "You all go back in there." "Go home." "Move." "Get back in there." "Go on back in." "Get going!" "It's not your home." "You'd better leave." "Go on!" "Yes, I will." "I'm going back." "When did he come?" "He came early and he wouldn't leave." "He didn't say why he was here." "I've been here a long time." "Were you at the jail?" "When Grandma was still alive, Lian Er has married our young master." "She is now our young mistress." "Young mistress?" "That's preposterous!" "How could he get married when he's still in jail?" "It's absolutely ridiculous." "Marriage is a big thing." "Our folks should know about it." "No one told me about it." "Why should you know?" "Grandma might not want you to know." "Should I call a meeting and see what our relatives think about the whole thing?" "You think they'll accept you as mistress?" "There's no mistake." "The wedding took place right here." "Shut your big mouth." "You've got not right to speak." "What's the purpose of your visit today?" "You want me to hand over our properties to you?" "It's all for your benefit." "Why sacrifice your future for a dying man?" "Okay, get all the relatives here." "You really want me to do this?" "Let them be the judge." "I'll let you tell them." "How you cheated us and how you want our properties." "How could you say that." "What should I say, then?" "You think you can push me around?" "I am the Pei's now," "I don't need your support." "They don't have the guts to come here" "Has anyone done anything to help us?" "Except for you who has a friend in the Royal court." "Talking to you is a waste of time." "Are you just going to walk out?" "What should I stay for?" "An empty house." "That's all we've got now." "After the baby comes, life will be even harder." "You took all our money." "I'll get even with you." "Just try it." "You're worse than the old lady." "After I leave, you'll be lonely." "I don't think we'll meet again." "We will in the next life." "Stop nagging." "Get lost." "No, I want to keep on talking." "No one is eternal." "Man proposes, God disposes." "Don't mention death, okay?" "One must die in peace and honor." "That is for you to decide." "Thank you for your kindness." "Give my regards to your father." "Do you want to take a walk outside?" "Hey, I'm talking to you!" "Leave me alone." "Clean up the yard." "Take these things off." "I shall, but don't try to escape." "Don't you want to live?" "You ungrateful creature." "I wish I could kill you." "I wouldn't care." "I'll die soon enough anyway." "It's torture to wait till autumn." "I'll give it to you straight." "I really don't want to hit you." "I have a son too." "He's about your age and a bad egg like you." "His mother died shortly after his birth." "I spoiled him." "I spoiled him." "He was drowned in a river during a fight." "You know, when I beat you, I thought I was beating him." "She hasn't come to visit for a long time." "She doesn't care about me anymore." "Tell Grandma she'll never see me again." "Don't blame her." "She hasn't done anything wrong to you." "But she shouldn't give up on me like this." "She thought of you even while she was dying." "What's that you just said?" "Your grandma died last year." "Last winter she came here with your wife." "It was snowing, she was outside the whole night." "Then she got sick..." "Your wife said never to tell you." "Anyway, no one will blame me for telling you." "I had to tell you." "She suffered for your sake." "How could you blame her?" "Was she frozen to death?" "I told Pei Shun not to tell you but he did." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Grandma asked me not to let you know she said you hated her." "I shouldn't let you know." "I hate her." "I've always hated her." "I hate her for spoiling me." "For never beating me."
