Peking Opera Blues (1986) - full transcript
The movie is set in chaotic 1920's China, when warlords fought each other for power while Sun Yat-Sen's underground movement tried to establish a democratic republic. The movie tells the story of three young women and two young men who are thrown together. One young woman grabs a box of jewels during the looting when one warlord takes Peking. A deserting soldier joins her, but the jewels end up at the Peking Opera. Here we meet the daughter of the head of the troupe, who dreams of being an actress. But even female roles are played by men in the opera. Soon, the daughter of the currently ruling warlord and a male agent of the democratic underground are involved.
That girl is very pretty
She keeps staring at me
It must get lonely being a
wandering singer
She's probably never seen someone so handsome
Now wonder she can't keep her eyes off you
How many wives do I have now?
One, two, three...
altogether around twenty-eight
Very well, I'll make it twenty-nine
General!
What is it!?
Please stay calm!
Please keep in order
What's going on?
We?re not getting paid
Again?
Yes!
Give us our paychecks!
Are they going to riot?
Sir, they haven't gotten paid
in over three months
I've been too busy to remember
Tell them to stay calm,
they'll get their money today
Go!
Yes!
General, are you going to
pay them?
I've lost all our money to General Tsao
How the hell am I going to get the money?
Go tell my wives and children
to get ready to leave tonight
Yes, General!
We are all leaving tonight!
Hey don't yell
Yes, no yelling Sir
You're still yelling!
Shut up!
Hurry up!
You're so clumsy, get out of here!
Go...
It's mine
It's mine
Give it to me!
Let me take it!
Hey you!
Could you bring that up to me?
Please hurry!
Uhh... Ok
If I'm dreaming
then don't wake me up
Hurry!
The General is waiting in the car
- We'll be right there!
- Yes...
Put them in the box, hurry
He says he's leaving you
Wait for me, General
Give us that silk shirt!
take it off!
Don't... ever wake me up!
Keep on dreaming,
cause this is all mine
Good-night sweet-heart
God, you're too good to me!
I swear, if I ever have to sing
again for a living!
Then just kill me now
Hey!
I don't take passengers
Please take me to the train station
I have to catch a train
But Miss, it's not on my way
Take me to the station and this is
yours too
Yes Madam!
There's a team of soldiers coming
Hurry up!
Nothing suspicious in the car, Sir
Search over there
Turn around!
Stand against the wall!
I have nothing of value!
Don't move!
Wait here!
Where'd he go?
He got away
let's go!
General!
Was he a revolutionary?
I didn't find anything on him, Sir
Are you alright, General?
I'm fine!
Wan, are you scared?
I'm alright, Papa!
You've been living far away
for years
Now you've got to get use to
the way of life in your native land
I'll do fine
Commander
General Tun says he lost all his money
to you playing mahjong
He has disappeared
and the people are rioting
He's finally lost his whole fortune to me!
Send someone to settle his people down
I'm going to move into his mansion right away
Let me search her
Stop it!
Let me do it
Yes!
She's clean
You can go!
Go!
Stand aside
Chun Wo Ban, isn't that a theater troupe?
The Commander is gone
What's going to happen?
Towel!
Chun Wo Ban!
Shape up... you've got to fight
Boss, the medicine's here
Hurry! Take it upstairs
Quit slacking. Hurry!
There's not enough
actors to be 'Good'
Whoever is 'Bad' is now 'Good'
and vice-versa
Change your costumes... Hurry!
Don't you know the rules?
No women allowed in the theatre
Can I go back stage?
No women there either
if not, the men wouldn't dress as women
Why do you look down on women?
I bet you'd rather be with one of those
actor's than a real girl
Did you just touch me?
No! I'm looking for my shoes
Be quick...
Brother!
I've got a few more wrinkles
Forget it, the harder you count,
the more you'll find
Fa's on next
Go ahead, don't play with me anymore
He's prettier than the girl last night
Hurry up...
One by one... follow the hero!
Don't mess up, hurry...
Oh, it's you?
Dad,
Kid Hung has the flu
I'm taking his place...
Goddamn it!
You want them to know we've got
a girl in the theater?
I'll be ruined?
Here wash your face
You always dream of being on stage,
but can you act?
If you want to perform,
dress as a man!
The Medical kits and supplies are in the back
Wipe that make up off
then put away the supplies!
There?s nothing to see, go!
There's nothing special in seeing a
woman playing a woman on stage
She's crazy
Mr. Liu, have you eaten?
Boss!
Keep working
Boss, the Ticketing Officer's here
Commissioner, please!
Mr. Tun, have you seen anyone suspicious?
uhh... uhh... How about some tea...
Hurry it up then!
Yes, Captain!
When did the repertory arrive?
Just arrived yesterday
Might be some revolutionaries back stage
check it out
Peking Duck
in three different dishes
or the whole duck
Let me have it rare
Are you a Comrade?
You are Comrade Sung
The man that you want to see
is standing behind me
Let's do this somewhere quieter
We should be safe in here
There's no one here
Don't move!
You too!
Wait... wait!
He's a traitor
We're looking for revolutionaries
Everyone stay calm!
We'll be done soon
He's a girl!
What do you mean!?
She's the General's daughter
I already know that
She's dressed like that so she
can roam around un-noticed
We invited her from abroad
Because of her connection with her dad
Don't expose her identity
If not, we'll never succeed
She look's suspicious, let's get her!
This mission is about President Yuen
President Yuen?!
We have to steal the document
What document?
We suspect that he secretly loans
money to a foreign bank
Loans money from a foreign bank?
He wants to build up his power
to conqueror the South
to restore monarchy
Why me then?
We suspect that...
My Dad is the middle
man in this matter
And the document is with him
We have to get that paper from him
So we can discover Yuen's conspiracy
Then we can have democracy
What's the matter?
We found an unidentified woman
In your theater
She's my daughter
You think I'd let her go just because
you say that?
How can you prove she is your daughter
Her mother is my wife
Give me proof
Take her!
I'll go and find my wife
Write carefully, if not,
he'll get angry
Please give me some money to save
my daughter
What happened to her?
I'll explain later!
My wife's coming
This bag is lighter than it should be
I guess you don't love your daughter
that much
I'm sorry that's all I have
I guess it will do,
What are you performing tonight?
The Stuber King
The Stuber King...
that's a good one
C'mon let's watch
If we see him again,
We'll beat him up, right Dad?
How dare you say that!
Your lucky I even paid for you!
Take off your pants &
give them back to Kid Hung
Go make dinner!
Is sukiyaki ok?
Sukiyaki? I don't care!
just make some food!
Move!
That's better!
He's from the Ticketing Office,
they're everywhere
Be careful next time
Remember,
we'll meet at Sung's office
After I steal the document,
you take it back to the South
Not bad, prettier than the girl next door
What's her name?
Fa!
Fa!
Dad, we need to go to the market for
dinner
What about the potatoes from last night?
They?re all gone
I can't believe it!
I should break your legs for that!
Who's that girl your with,
you'd have more fun with me
She's my daughter
And keep on dreaming buddy!
Do you want me to wait for you?
No! Did you hear me say "stay"!
I should cut your ears off,
you don't use them anyway!
What are you doing?
Nice car
What are you going to do to that guy?
Where's the jewelry?
I keep on telling you I didn't take it
Tie him up
And castrate him
Don't you have any other punishments?
Where's the General?
He's having a meeting with a foreigner
Miss, have a rest first
OK, get out
Yes!
According to the contract
If we fail to do so
Then the 5 foreign banks have the right
to take everything as penalty
Repeat what you said
How much can the President get?
The loan is for $25,000,000 pounds
He will get a fraction of it
And 47 years later
We'll pay you back $67,500,000 pounds
That's 3 times the amount of the loan
I wonder what the world will look
like in 47 years?
Get me a pen
I'll show the President the
contract in 2 days
There shouldn't be any problems
What are they doing?
They're toasting to the President
Great...
Tell them, I'll invite them for dinner
Wait for me in the living room
Yes!
Captain!
Hold it!
Who's that?
It's you?
Why are you here?
I told you not to come!
You could've been caught
Let's argue later, go and get the document
You idiot, help me pick it up!
It's you again?
You know her?
She's with us
Peking duck!
I already ate
She's not one of our men
What was that!?
I heard a gunshot
If there's a problem inside
It's time to steal outside
What about this guy?
Quit wasting time. Bring him along
Did you hear a gunshot?
Yes sir!
Find out where it came from!
Someone is coming
We'll come back tomorrow!
Madame!
I saw someone run over there
Yes!
Be careful, don't get caught
Meet me at the garage
I'm going to the study room
General!
Wait, where are you going?
Protect me
Yes!
It's too high!
In the study room, quick!
Quick!
General, we heard a gun shot?
What took you so long?
There're revolutionaries inside, search the place!
You heard him, let's move out!
Go and search!
Yes!
He's the Spy!
After him, quick!
You two protect the General
Listen, no one gets out or comes in
Bring him to me alive!
He's gone?!
Then I have to go!
The house is full of soldiers,
you want to get caught?
Do you still want to go?
Sit down!
Tell me the truth
What is your mission here?
What "mission"?
You don't know about the "mission"?
Why are you here?
I don't know myself
I jumped into the trunk
It's the car that brought me here
Is that the "mission"? Is it?
I've saved you once, you must promise me
Whatever happens tonight,
you won't tell anyone
I won't tell, I swear
You don't have to do that
No trouble at all, I always swear
Jump!
I'm scared, It's too high
- Are you more afraid of heights or dying?
- dying!
Then jump now!
Look at that car!
Look, the head-lights are shining,
how beautiful
It must be really expensive
Nobody's watching,
let's take it
Good!
Quick, come on!
Don't you know it's
the General's car...
Give us a hand?
Quick!
Come!
Take it to Tinjuin and
sell it, then we're rich
Captain!
I beg you Captain,
Please don't tell
anyone you saw me here
Stay here!
If word gets out...
We can never rob the mansion again
Let's just kill him!
If the General finds out,
He's going to kill me
I beg you, Captain,
please don't tell...
What are they doing?
Look out behind you!
Go!
Don't kill him!
What happened here?
We've been discovered
by those bastards
Say no more, shut the door!
Why is she coming?
She came here by accident
So we are going to
take her back by accident
If we are caught
Then she will know our secrets
OK!
Help me, I don't want to die
He's not dead?!
What're you doing?
He saved me,
I can't leave him like that
It's getting crowded, get in!
Have we met somewhere before?
You're losing blood,
you're delirious
Cover up his wound, quick
Madam!
Open the gate
Yes!
Open it!
The oil-tank has a hole,
we can't go any further!
Listen, someone is coming!
It's the men from the Ticketing Office
If they see us like this,
were in deep trouble
Maybe we should leave the car
Take these two to a safe place
Or there will be more trouble
So much blood, I'm going to faint
Hold him!
Oh my dress!
Damn, they've seen us
Don't take him with you
Dad!
Hey!
Who are you guys?
What are you doing here?
So you want to get away
from those bastards
Right, lady, so can you please
help us?
My god, he's hurt really bad
He needs an operation
Find a place for him first
Operation?!
I'll go to the car to get the tools
You need to take him in
Alright, be careful
We can't go in there, go to my room!
I can't let everyone in here!
OK, our code is "Peking Duck",
remember it!
Peking Duck?!
I'll come back right away!
This is even more ridiculous
You've been searching all around,
what are you looking for?
Do you know where the box is,
that was in the car?
Back-stage!
Where is the back-stage?
Over there!
I'll find it!
Stay here, no running around!
I need a piece of cloth!
I need it to clean the blood
C'mon, let's go!
Tell your friend not to
run around, will you?
I don't know her
Don't know her?
Then why are you together?
Well, I don't know him either
What?
Do you know the woman who went out?
I know her
I have no idea what's going on!
I'll open the door
Don't bother, you two watch her
Peking Duck!
Peking Duck...
It's Tuna Fish!
Wrong, go away!
Open the door, I'm your Dad!
You little shit! open up!
Dad, I'm sorry!
What Peking Duck, Niking Duck
Watch out or I'll cut your ears off
for not listening!
Dad!
Are you that hungry?
Always thinking of food
Duck your head
Why are you yawning!
You haven't done anything all day!
Just go to sleep and get out of my sight...
My Dad is back, you have to go!
Oh no, who is it this time?
I'm dead for sure
No, I have to send them away
Peking Duck or Tuna Fish!
Peking Duck!
Right!
Why'd you say Tuna Fish?
Peking Duck is you
Tuna Fish is my Dad,
he just came back
He's going to pull my ears again!
You better be going!
Take the wine and the cloth here
OK!
And heat some water
Yes!
Shouldn't I send them away?
First tear off his clothes
Take the cloth and wipe off the blood
Why are you still standing there?
Go get the stuff
He's going to be alright!
It's too crowded in here,
can you take her outside?
Bossing me around like she owns the place!
should've never let them in!
You studied surgery overseas?
No, gynecology
Really, I had so much fun tonight
We should go to bed now to get our
beauty sleep
Where'd my perfume go?
I have it!
Oh no, those actors are coming back!
Before anyone sees you,
you better leave!
Go!
Go, be quick!
Where's the other one?
Those actors are coming, go...
There's the wannabe actress!
What is she laughing at?
- It better not be at me!
- I can't stand her!
Dad, you?re not asleep yet?
There was some problems tonight
How can I sleep?
I thought about that night
It was exactly the same as tonight
She saved my life
If not, I wouldn't be here today
This pistol was a gift from a Frenchmen
It's so dangerous around here
Take it with you!
Dad, I can take care myself
Keep it with you
I've got guards to protect me
I'm worried about you
You're my only child
I don't want anything to happen to you
then who'd inherit my country
I'm old
I've see everything already
Remember, I'd do anything for you
Dad!
If I lose this key
I'll have to start from the beginning
Work like a dog
For your children future
Remember these words
I have a girl with me tonight,
I'll see you in the morning
General!
Dad keeps the key with him
If we steal the key, and open the safe
At the same time, It will be too obvious
You're right!
Unless we make a mold of the key
Then put it back instantly
That's simple,
steal it while he's sleeping,
it might work
My Dad has a different woman
with him each night
That woman would notice
Is he alone when he's bathing?
There's nowhere to hide in the bathroom
What else can we do?
Can I make a little suggestion?
Why is he here?
It's so easy to be caught running around
It's safer to stay here?
Can you stop arguing?
Listen to my suggestion first!
OK
You said the bedroom & you,
the bathroom
Why not the toilet?
Toilet!
When the General leaves his house
Everyone has that necessity
If you can make him to go to the toilet
And you wait for him in there
Then he's trapped
I'm finished
If there?s no other way
We can try this one
The toilet, really?
Which one?
I'm thinking!
Kwok Wo Building!
Mr. Wong, they are the
actors from Tinjuin
Take them to see Fa
This way...
Get everything ready
Yes!
Go!
What are you doing? Come down!
Don't mess around this time!
Just work
Hurry!
Knock it off!
Pearl... come out!
That way
The box is up there
Damn it!
Why are you cleaning the doorway?
The seats are almost full
Out of the way... we're celebrating
It's our place tonight!
Go away
Go away...
Let's celebrate
Ask your men to come down for a present
Put it down!
Don't touch
What's the matter?
What is that down there?
Who are you sending the present to?
They are for Fa
from Commander Liu
Who is looking for me?
Someone sent those to you
When you are in good luck
Everything goes so smoothly
Even the council will
take notice of you
Right, our Commander wants you happy
After you have these
He'll pick you up in 3 days
Then you'll be his wife
But I'm a man
He doesn't want to
That's it
I don't want to...
go for someone else
I want you!
Don't touch me!
I'm not into that...
I can't marry you!
Uh... Uhh... I like women, I'm sorry!
You won't marry me?
No!
Beat him then!
You made your choice
You say that...
You would never marry me
So I have to force you now
Her hands are so soft
You wouldn't want to ruin that
Look at yourself
Flirting around
Too bad...
You can't have Liu's present now
So, stop flirting with him and...
Please Marry him for the Theater
She'll be ready in 3 days
Search around
My dear
Think of our comfortable
lives afterward
The General's here
He's here because of me?
We can't have a show
without FA
Don't do that in front of The General
General!
Fa!
Please, you have to save me
I'm the Ticketing Officer Mr. Liu
Coming to protect the General
Are you going to try to escape?
Where will you go?
Far away from here
I'll go act in some small town
What are you doing?
Take some more costumes with you
You can make use of them
Take my place
Don't let anyone see me running away
I have something for you
Take some medicine with you
Run
Run!
If we don't see each other again!
Take care!
Take care!
Put on the make up
The General doesn't like
this kind of food
Change it
Look, how good this dimsum looks
Who is she?
Your daughter
Oh god, I'm done for
Go look for Fa?
Yes!
General!
Who's that?
I don't know!
How can it get any worse?
I can't find Fa backstage
What? He's gone!
Don't let him get away
Yes!
She's fake, I'm real
She's fake, I'm real
Let's go
I'll get you!
Quick...
I go on that side
Wrong position
What am I going to do?
Follow me
Just do what I do?
General, I'm hungry
Take a bite then
Miss, are you alright?
I'm fine
Take them backstage
No need to explain
Yes Sir!
I'm hurt
You can't die,
go out and get them!
If they are women
They can become my wives
Boss, shall I die or not?
Since you like it so much, stay dead
No need play dead
We can make that a reality
General, I've got a stomach ache
Go to the toilet then
What are we going to do?
Take him away!
Yes, Sir!
That hurts!
Who is he?
So painful!
Don't touch my chest!
She's a woman,
what am I going to now?
Commander Liu!
What's the matter, Miss?
Where's the toilet?
This way, I'll show you
No, thanks!
I can find my way,
you stay here and protect the General
Pak!
Follow her to the bathroom
How'd she pass out?
It was because of me
Miss Choi!
Miss Choi passed out
Get her out of here
Yes!
Here!
Yes!
What happened?
There's a ghost, in the toilet!
Ghost?
Not a ghost, it's Fa
Protect the General
Hold the gun to my head
Hold it!
Grab the Spy
Put the gun down! Get up!
Look out!
Get down!
Oh my box!
This way!
But, my box!
You flew extremely well,
Too bad you're not a bird
But you'll be in my hands
And I'll keep you in my cage
And feed you breadcrumbs!
Release him!
Let him go or I'll shoot the General
I hope he shoots that man
He's bad
That hostage is my Father
Hope he's not out of ammo
I only have one bullet
You can't escape after
shooting the General?
I don't care, exchange hostages
Exchange them!
Grab him, don't shoot
Look at me!
Hold it!
Who do you think you are! Fire!
I can't believe the General shot at me
Don't cry in front of everyone
There's revolutionaries in the theatre
You saved the day,
take this as a reward
Close down the theatre
Close down the theatre?
Dad!
I told you not to go on stage
You little shit! I'll kill you!
Stand still!
Run!
To where?
I'm going to kill her
Don't...
I told not to go on stage,
but you did
I'm going to kill you
Get off me...
The theatre is closing down
Why are you still here?
Dad, I left something back-stage
Go home first!
Protect Miss
Yes!
Found it!
It's cold outside, put a coat on
I don't need your sympathy
Your performance was terrific
What for?
When a woman performs on stage
Everyone laughs at her
Don't be silly,
The audience loved it
Don't be sad, you were amazing
If you fail, try harder
Be strong
Get out of here!
Come here!
Quick...
Let's go get a drink
OK!
You like the clothes, I got them overseas
I wanted to ask you...
Why do you always... dress up like... a boy?
It's so nobody will notice me
Maybe you should try it sometime
What is this?
This is a globe
A what?
This is our world
China's right here
Look!
Where's Peking?
That dot right there
Where's the Kwok Wo Building?
Inside the dot
Huh? I don't see any houses?
If Peking looks like a dot
The world is bigger than I thought
What else is on here?
You want to move somewhere else?
Everyone is moving far away
I'd love to leave Peking
I don't get it,
Peking is a nice place?
Why would you want to leave?
right?
No matter how hard you try
You'll always end up back
where you started
Dad!
Your still awake?
I can't sleep!
These are my friends
They were just going home
They can stay the night
Thanks anyway Dad,
but they really need to go
Come on!
Who are they?
They were the actors on stage today
So, they're women
Look out!
What are you doing here?
The Publishing Office
is being watched
Officer told us not to
go back there tonight
Right,
we need a place to hide out
It's so cold
We only have one bed & one blanket
How will we sleep?
Doesn't matter, we're all girls here
We can all sleep together
Come on!
We can share the blanket
Alright
Come On! You can get closer
Boss...
What's the matter?
The General ordered to
reopen the theatre
He's coming tonight
Look for your daughter
and that girl
Why?
If not, your dead!
Hurry!
Pat Neil...
Pat Neil...
How come you didn't answer me
Are feeling alright?
Do you have a fever?
Maybe just a cold
Just rest today
Really!
I want to apologize for
being so mean to you...
I feel awful about it
Your hands are so rough, from working
Dad!
Put your blanket on
I've performed my whole life
I'm getting older
You should follow in my footsteps
Dad!
From now on I'm going to let you perform
I love being on stage Daddy
Yes, I know
I love you!
I love you too!
I love you!
I love you too!
I love you Daddy!
You?re going to make me cry!
Why do you always yawn so weird?
Get some rest
Are we re-opening tonight?
Yes, that reminds me...
That girl from last night...
Where can I find her?
Where'd you come from!?
Were you looking for me?
I didn't see you earlier?
Dad!
Ok now you?ve seen her
And she's seen you
We'll be on stage tonight
Why are you dressed up like this?
That was close!
We have to practice for tonight
I've got a plan
a plan?
One more time
It's too hard,
I don't want to do it
Again
Sheung Hung's seducing my Dad?
What? you want me to seduce her Dad?
And stay there all night?!
That's the only way to take
off my Dad's coat
The key is in the coat
That means I have to get
married to your Dad
And you'll call me mom?
You put this powder
in his drink
He'll wake up in an hour
She'll take care of the rest
Why should I help you?
Give me the key
And all of this is yours
Why didn't you ask Pat Neil?
We knew you couldn't say "No" to Gold
Your right about that!
What was that?
Nothing!
Sheung Hung, Pat Neil, your turn
Quick!
Pat Neil, Sheung Hung
Congratulations on your debut tonight
Thank you!
Your going to do great tonight
It's too dangerous here,
you'll get caught?
This might be our last night together
Last night?!
This is our final mission
Unless you decided to stay with us
Well... I hope we meet again
Are you worried about your Dad?
He's my only relative
If he finds out you did all this
Would he ever forgive you?
No!
I think he would!
There?s no way
He trusts me the most
The General has invited you
to his Mansion
We both have to go?
What's wrong,
once a woman starts working
They all have this problem
If you both don't go,
we're all done for
What are you going to do?
I'll go find Mr. Ling
He can think of something
Where's the powder!
Don't worry, here?s another one
This is the last one,
don't lose it, it's very important
You're so good to me,
I've been wanting to tell you something
Remember the riot at the General's house,
and somebody hit you...
Don't say it
I knew it was you
I didn't mean it
You hit me really hard
It's all in the past
Don't screw up, Don't screw up...
The General's here
You two performed so great
I invited you here
Have a seat?
Look at my hands
You want to play games? there's nothing in that one
and nothing in the other one
Look closer, aren?t they lovely
Forget your hands, Let's have some fun
I think they'd look
better with lots of jewelry
What'd you think?
You're so greedy and so beautiful
Let me see your hands too
What's in your palms?
Let me see...
So soft
The other one, let me see it...
Relax...
What the!!?
General!
What are you doing?
Let's play a different game
What game?
Just guess
I don't know!?
Tell me!
Game over
If there's no more games then...
it's time to drink
I don't drink
You have to drink
Stop it!
Don't!
C'mon drink it!
Finish the glass...
What just happened in here?
I broke a vase over his head
Don't wake him up
Find it yet?
Is it this one?
Where did you get it?
In his pocket
You opened it?
Is it this one?
Yes, it is
Open it
This is for your help tonight
That's it?
What do you mean?
I think I deserve more...
If I wasn't so smart
You would never have found the papers
So I should get more
But, I already have the papers though
Why would I pay you more?
What you don't know is...
when I found the papers, I kept 1
It'd be a shame if it got lost
Hand it over!
No!
Hand it over!
You wouldn't shoot me
Pat Neil and I risked our lives
You should pay her too
You?re crazy
All you care about is your mission
And all you care about is money
Both of you betrayed your friends
I don't ever want to see you again
Pat Neil!
Don't touch me
You've totally used me
to seduce your Dad
I didn't use you
You've betrayed your Dad...
And your friends too,
don't you have a conscience?
I'm not doing this for myself
I hope your Dad finds out who you really are
What will you do then?
Someone help!
Let her go
Sheung Hung, it's ok
Don't be scared
He's from the Ticketing Office
That means this place is being watched
the others must've left to tell what they heard
Dad...
Shhh... be quiet
It's ok, it's Pat Neil
Pat Neil!
Mr. Kam!
Your Dad and the actors
were imprisoned
What?
The General is looking
for you and Sheung Hung
What are we going to do
We?re leaving!
Where are we going?
Na-king!
Our men will meet you there
Let's go!
What about my Dad?
Don't worry, Tsao Wan
will save your Dad
C'mon on!
Go! Go! Hurry!
This way!
What're you doing here?
Tsao Wan asked me to give you this
Where is she?
They found out who she really is
We were being watched and didn't know
They know everything now,
we have to get out of here
What?
Search everywhere
Find them
Yes!
Look on that side
- They'll be killed!
- There's nothing we can do!
Take the paper with you!
What are you waiting for!
Run!
C'mon!
Pat Neil, run!
Don't let them get away, chase them!
Go!
Take that side!
This way!
You two go over that way
Yes!
I have a plan
Take care of the paper
I'll lead them away
Hai!
Run!
You stay here, the others follow me
Over there
Let's go!
Freeze...
If not, I'll shoot you
What are we going to do?
Don't be scared, I'll find
a way to save them
One of our men discovered the true identity
of the General's Daughter... she's a spy
How are we going to handle this?
Who?
Dad!
Pack your things
We have to leave tonight
If you go away with all these people
It's too obvious
It's too risky
Dad lost something very important,
he needs to go
This is very serious!
If your subordinates know you
lost your power, there'll be a riot
It's safer
if you go in disguise
In disguise?
If I was afraid of danger
I wouldn't be a General would I
I fought with my life for years
Killed men on the frontlines
Dad, think of the others
Think about the whole situation
This is my business not yours
Those bastards
They're are selfish
They're only worried about money
and power!
Dad!
Dad,
if your council thinks that way
Why do we need the government?
That's me, I shoot whoever goes against me
Dad!
No matter what's happening,
At least were together
Pack up, time is running out
Alright I'll get my things!
Give me the key, you two can go!
Yes!
I'm here to help you
We got help...
We're free
Yes
Stop singing,
Or I'll lock you back in there
Move aside!
Where are they going?!
Move!
Hurry up!
Dad!
Where are your bags?!
I haven't packed yet
Let's go without it!
Report!
Yes?
The Ticketing Officers are here
Who do you think they are?
Why are you here? Go!
We want to invite your
daughter to our office
As we suspect she's connected
with the revolutionaries
How dare you say that!
My daughter is not a spy!
If anyone says that, I'll kill him
Dad...
Dad...
Dad!
My daughter would never be a spy!
Wan, run...
Grab the gun
General Tun ran away
with everything
Why'd he come back?
I don't understand politics
Tsao used to have Power
Then Tun ran off
Since, Tsao is dead
That bastard Tun is back
It's really simple
What did you say?
Just talking politics!
Is that so?
Take him away!
Why are you taking me?!
Your being arrested for slander!
Get him out of here!
Captain Sa!
Where are the papers?
I swallowed them
Quit playing games!
Get the salt water!
Just tell me where it is
Before I really lose my temper
Hold it!
You want to have some real fun
before you kill her? just me and you!
But not here, let's go somewhere else
How about on her Daddy's bed?
Tsao Wan...
I want these two to be...
Executed by nightfall
Yes!
Sir, someone wants to see you
I won't see anyone from now on...
till tomorrow morning
Shoot him if he insists!
General!
Oh, it's you?
General, she's been looking
for you for so long
She's gotten very ill
She has a fever
Why didn't you tell me that?
I'm sorry sir
Take her to the study room
You can go
Wait for me outside
Don't bother me, if not,
I'll shoot you
Where am I?
Oh, it's you, General?
You passed out just now
My heart is beating so fast
If you don't believe me, listen
I'll listen alright!
What are you doing?
General!
Be patient
Get over here...
Give me a kiss
Just wait a minute!
Stop it!
Playing games!
Come...
Don't go!
Come back...
I got you... come back...
Come back...
I said stop it!
Let me guess another paperweight?
What are you doing?
General?
What's happening?
General...
Don't
General, they barged in on us
while we were sleeping together
Tell them to leave!
And tell my sister to come in
General asks you to go in
Close the door!
Sheung Hung!
Tsao Wan, how come your here too?
Keep quiet!
Sit down first
Why are you crying?
Who did that to you?
Tell me, who?
I'm fine, don't worry
They're going to execute
Pak Hoiand Tung Man tonight
The sun is setting,
what can we do?
Find a way to save them
Did you see the window
of the tallest building?
He's being held in there
Pat Neil, do you think
you can climb up there?
I'm thinking of a way
Go and get the General's pistol
This is so gross!
Their lives are in your hands
You have to succeed
Be careful!
Tie up the bed sheet
Tie it up?!
Climb down!
Quick!
Open the gate!
By order of the General...
You are to be executed
Immediately
Ready!
Aim!
FIRE!
How are you?
OK!
Get the keys
Wonder what's taking so long?
I'll take a look!
C'mon!
Take that side?
The garage is over there
Quick!
Peking Duck!
Peking Duck is here
Pak Hoi, Tsao Wan!
Tung Man, Sheung Hung!
Are you OK?
I'm fine
Pat Neil?
We can all hug later!
Get in the car
Captain!
Time for your lunch break
Where's the papers?
Back at the theater
Is everyone here lazy?
C'mon people get it together?
Get out!
Mr. Kam!
Pat Neil!
Where's my Dad?
Mr. Wong...
Pat Neil, you're back
Dad!
Are you alright?
I'm fine!
We came to pick something up
then we have to leave
You're leaving tonight?
Captain, they're car is here
They must be somewhere close
Let's go
Yes sir!
Follow me!
Block the street
Everyone sit down!
And don't move!
Search the theatre
Yes!
They know we're here
We can go out the backdoor
The theatre's surrounded
They blocked all the exits
How about you all perform on stage?
at least your in disguise
Our beards are tangled
You can't find them anywhere?
We'll get out through the roof
When?
The codeword is "collapse"
Captain, all our men are here
Get in position
Yes!
They have to be here!
My wings are stuck!
They're going up to the roof
Follow them!!
Go!
Quick!
Help!
Don't worry I got you
Be quiet, they're down there
Let's go
Get down!
Are you alright?
Don't worry, I'll be ok
There's more coming!
Captain, be careful!
Start running!
Don't follow me!
Tsao Wan!
Wan!
Cover me
I regret nothing!
Look up there!
Fire!
Tsao Wan!
Is that Commander Liu?
Is he dead?
We?re done for!
Let's get out of here!
I'm heading South,
to hand this paper to congress
And let them handle Yuen
Where are the rest of you headed?
I'm going to keep on performing
I'm going to leave china when
I get enough money
It's too unpredictable here
I'm going back to my hometown
So I guess this goodbye?
This isn't our last time together
Once the revolution is over with...
We'll meet up again in Peking
See you then
Take care
Till then!
Subtitles By: CHiU
She keeps staring at me
It must get lonely being a
wandering singer
She's probably never seen someone so handsome
Now wonder she can't keep her eyes off you
How many wives do I have now?
One, two, three...
altogether around twenty-eight
Very well, I'll make it twenty-nine
General!
What is it!?
Please stay calm!
Please keep in order
What's going on?
We?re not getting paid
Again?
Yes!
Give us our paychecks!
Are they going to riot?
Sir, they haven't gotten paid
in over three months
I've been too busy to remember
Tell them to stay calm,
they'll get their money today
Go!
Yes!
General, are you going to
pay them?
I've lost all our money to General Tsao
How the hell am I going to get the money?
Go tell my wives and children
to get ready to leave tonight
Yes, General!
We are all leaving tonight!
Hey don't yell
Yes, no yelling Sir
You're still yelling!
Shut up!
Hurry up!
You're so clumsy, get out of here!
Go...
It's mine
It's mine
Give it to me!
Let me take it!
Hey you!
Could you bring that up to me?
Please hurry!
Uhh... Ok
If I'm dreaming
then don't wake me up
Hurry!
The General is waiting in the car
- We'll be right there!
- Yes...
Put them in the box, hurry
He says he's leaving you
Wait for me, General
Give us that silk shirt!
take it off!
Don't... ever wake me up!
Keep on dreaming,
cause this is all mine
Good-night sweet-heart
God, you're too good to me!
I swear, if I ever have to sing
again for a living!
Then just kill me now
Hey!
I don't take passengers
Please take me to the train station
I have to catch a train
But Miss, it's not on my way
Take me to the station and this is
yours too
Yes Madam!
There's a team of soldiers coming
Hurry up!
Nothing suspicious in the car, Sir
Search over there
Turn around!
Stand against the wall!
I have nothing of value!
Don't move!
Wait here!
Where'd he go?
He got away
let's go!
General!
Was he a revolutionary?
I didn't find anything on him, Sir
Are you alright, General?
I'm fine!
Wan, are you scared?
I'm alright, Papa!
You've been living far away
for years
Now you've got to get use to
the way of life in your native land
I'll do fine
Commander
General Tun says he lost all his money
to you playing mahjong
He has disappeared
and the people are rioting
He's finally lost his whole fortune to me!
Send someone to settle his people down
I'm going to move into his mansion right away
Let me search her
Stop it!
Let me do it
Yes!
She's clean
You can go!
Go!
Stand aside
Chun Wo Ban, isn't that a theater troupe?
The Commander is gone
What's going to happen?
Towel!
Chun Wo Ban!
Shape up... you've got to fight
Boss, the medicine's here
Hurry! Take it upstairs
Quit slacking. Hurry!
There's not enough
actors to be 'Good'
Whoever is 'Bad' is now 'Good'
and vice-versa
Change your costumes... Hurry!
Don't you know the rules?
No women allowed in the theatre
Can I go back stage?
No women there either
if not, the men wouldn't dress as women
Why do you look down on women?
I bet you'd rather be with one of those
actor's than a real girl
Did you just touch me?
No! I'm looking for my shoes
Be quick...
Brother!
I've got a few more wrinkles
Forget it, the harder you count,
the more you'll find
Fa's on next
Go ahead, don't play with me anymore
He's prettier than the girl last night
Hurry up...
One by one... follow the hero!
Don't mess up, hurry...
Oh, it's you?
Dad,
Kid Hung has the flu
I'm taking his place...
Goddamn it!
You want them to know we've got
a girl in the theater?
I'll be ruined?
Here wash your face
You always dream of being on stage,
but can you act?
If you want to perform,
dress as a man!
The Medical kits and supplies are in the back
Wipe that make up off
then put away the supplies!
There?s nothing to see, go!
There's nothing special in seeing a
woman playing a woman on stage
She's crazy
Mr. Liu, have you eaten?
Boss!
Keep working
Boss, the Ticketing Officer's here
Commissioner, please!
Mr. Tun, have you seen anyone suspicious?
uhh... uhh... How about some tea...
Hurry it up then!
Yes, Captain!
When did the repertory arrive?
Just arrived yesterday
Might be some revolutionaries back stage
check it out
Peking Duck
in three different dishes
or the whole duck
Let me have it rare
Are you a Comrade?
You are Comrade Sung
The man that you want to see
is standing behind me
Let's do this somewhere quieter
We should be safe in here
There's no one here
Don't move!
You too!
Wait... wait!
He's a traitor
We're looking for revolutionaries
Everyone stay calm!
We'll be done soon
He's a girl!
What do you mean!?
She's the General's daughter
I already know that
She's dressed like that so she
can roam around un-noticed
We invited her from abroad
Because of her connection with her dad
Don't expose her identity
If not, we'll never succeed
She look's suspicious, let's get her!
This mission is about President Yuen
President Yuen?!
We have to steal the document
What document?
We suspect that he secretly loans
money to a foreign bank
Loans money from a foreign bank?
He wants to build up his power
to conqueror the South
to restore monarchy
Why me then?
We suspect that...
My Dad is the middle
man in this matter
And the document is with him
We have to get that paper from him
So we can discover Yuen's conspiracy
Then we can have democracy
What's the matter?
We found an unidentified woman
In your theater
She's my daughter
You think I'd let her go just because
you say that?
How can you prove she is your daughter
Her mother is my wife
Give me proof
Take her!
I'll go and find my wife
Write carefully, if not,
he'll get angry
Please give me some money to save
my daughter
What happened to her?
I'll explain later!
My wife's coming
This bag is lighter than it should be
I guess you don't love your daughter
that much
I'm sorry that's all I have
I guess it will do,
What are you performing tonight?
The Stuber King
The Stuber King...
that's a good one
C'mon let's watch
If we see him again,
We'll beat him up, right Dad?
How dare you say that!
Your lucky I even paid for you!
Take off your pants &
give them back to Kid Hung
Go make dinner!
Is sukiyaki ok?
Sukiyaki? I don't care!
just make some food!
Move!
That's better!
He's from the Ticketing Office,
they're everywhere
Be careful next time
Remember,
we'll meet at Sung's office
After I steal the document,
you take it back to the South
Not bad, prettier than the girl next door
What's her name?
Fa!
Fa!
Dad, we need to go to the market for
dinner
What about the potatoes from last night?
They?re all gone
I can't believe it!
I should break your legs for that!
Who's that girl your with,
you'd have more fun with me
She's my daughter
And keep on dreaming buddy!
Do you want me to wait for you?
No! Did you hear me say "stay"!
I should cut your ears off,
you don't use them anyway!
What are you doing?
Nice car
What are you going to do to that guy?
Where's the jewelry?
I keep on telling you I didn't take it
Tie him up
And castrate him
Don't you have any other punishments?
Where's the General?
He's having a meeting with a foreigner
Miss, have a rest first
OK, get out
Yes!
According to the contract
If we fail to do so
Then the 5 foreign banks have the right
to take everything as penalty
Repeat what you said
How much can the President get?
The loan is for $25,000,000 pounds
He will get a fraction of it
And 47 years later
We'll pay you back $67,500,000 pounds
That's 3 times the amount of the loan
I wonder what the world will look
like in 47 years?
Get me a pen
I'll show the President the
contract in 2 days
There shouldn't be any problems
What are they doing?
They're toasting to the President
Great...
Tell them, I'll invite them for dinner
Wait for me in the living room
Yes!
Captain!
Hold it!
Who's that?
It's you?
Why are you here?
I told you not to come!
You could've been caught
Let's argue later, go and get the document
You idiot, help me pick it up!
It's you again?
You know her?
She's with us
Peking duck!
I already ate
She's not one of our men
What was that!?
I heard a gunshot
If there's a problem inside
It's time to steal outside
What about this guy?
Quit wasting time. Bring him along
Did you hear a gunshot?
Yes sir!
Find out where it came from!
Someone is coming
We'll come back tomorrow!
Madame!
I saw someone run over there
Yes!
Be careful, don't get caught
Meet me at the garage
I'm going to the study room
General!
Wait, where are you going?
Protect me
Yes!
It's too high!
In the study room, quick!
Quick!
General, we heard a gun shot?
What took you so long?
There're revolutionaries inside, search the place!
You heard him, let's move out!
Go and search!
Yes!
He's the Spy!
After him, quick!
You two protect the General
Listen, no one gets out or comes in
Bring him to me alive!
He's gone?!
Then I have to go!
The house is full of soldiers,
you want to get caught?
Do you still want to go?
Sit down!
Tell me the truth
What is your mission here?
What "mission"?
You don't know about the "mission"?
Why are you here?
I don't know myself
I jumped into the trunk
It's the car that brought me here
Is that the "mission"? Is it?
I've saved you once, you must promise me
Whatever happens tonight,
you won't tell anyone
I won't tell, I swear
You don't have to do that
No trouble at all, I always swear
Jump!
I'm scared, It's too high
- Are you more afraid of heights or dying?
- dying!
Then jump now!
Look at that car!
Look, the head-lights are shining,
how beautiful
It must be really expensive
Nobody's watching,
let's take it
Good!
Quick, come on!
Don't you know it's
the General's car...
Give us a hand?
Quick!
Come!
Take it to Tinjuin and
sell it, then we're rich
Captain!
I beg you Captain,
Please don't tell
anyone you saw me here
Stay here!
If word gets out...
We can never rob the mansion again
Let's just kill him!
If the General finds out,
He's going to kill me
I beg you, Captain,
please don't tell...
What are they doing?
Look out behind you!
Go!
Don't kill him!
What happened here?
We've been discovered
by those bastards
Say no more, shut the door!
Why is she coming?
She came here by accident
So we are going to
take her back by accident
If we are caught
Then she will know our secrets
OK!
Help me, I don't want to die
He's not dead?!
What're you doing?
He saved me,
I can't leave him like that
It's getting crowded, get in!
Have we met somewhere before?
You're losing blood,
you're delirious
Cover up his wound, quick
Madam!
Open the gate
Yes!
Open it!
The oil-tank has a hole,
we can't go any further!
Listen, someone is coming!
It's the men from the Ticketing Office
If they see us like this,
were in deep trouble
Maybe we should leave the car
Take these two to a safe place
Or there will be more trouble
So much blood, I'm going to faint
Hold him!
Oh my dress!
Damn, they've seen us
Don't take him with you
Dad!
Hey!
Who are you guys?
What are you doing here?
So you want to get away
from those bastards
Right, lady, so can you please
help us?
My god, he's hurt really bad
He needs an operation
Find a place for him first
Operation?!
I'll go to the car to get the tools
You need to take him in
Alright, be careful
We can't go in there, go to my room!
I can't let everyone in here!
OK, our code is "Peking Duck",
remember it!
Peking Duck?!
I'll come back right away!
This is even more ridiculous
You've been searching all around,
what are you looking for?
Do you know where the box is,
that was in the car?
Back-stage!
Where is the back-stage?
Over there!
I'll find it!
Stay here, no running around!
I need a piece of cloth!
I need it to clean the blood
C'mon, let's go!
Tell your friend not to
run around, will you?
I don't know her
Don't know her?
Then why are you together?
Well, I don't know him either
What?
Do you know the woman who went out?
I know her
I have no idea what's going on!
I'll open the door
Don't bother, you two watch her
Peking Duck!
Peking Duck...
It's Tuna Fish!
Wrong, go away!
Open the door, I'm your Dad!
You little shit! open up!
Dad, I'm sorry!
What Peking Duck, Niking Duck
Watch out or I'll cut your ears off
for not listening!
Dad!
Are you that hungry?
Always thinking of food
Duck your head
Why are you yawning!
You haven't done anything all day!
Just go to sleep and get out of my sight...
My Dad is back, you have to go!
Oh no, who is it this time?
I'm dead for sure
No, I have to send them away
Peking Duck or Tuna Fish!
Peking Duck!
Right!
Why'd you say Tuna Fish?
Peking Duck is you
Tuna Fish is my Dad,
he just came back
He's going to pull my ears again!
You better be going!
Take the wine and the cloth here
OK!
And heat some water
Yes!
Shouldn't I send them away?
First tear off his clothes
Take the cloth and wipe off the blood
Why are you still standing there?
Go get the stuff
He's going to be alright!
It's too crowded in here,
can you take her outside?
Bossing me around like she owns the place!
should've never let them in!
You studied surgery overseas?
No, gynecology
Really, I had so much fun tonight
We should go to bed now to get our
beauty sleep
Where'd my perfume go?
I have it!
Oh no, those actors are coming back!
Before anyone sees you,
you better leave!
Go!
Go, be quick!
Where's the other one?
Those actors are coming, go...
There's the wannabe actress!
What is she laughing at?
- It better not be at me!
- I can't stand her!
Dad, you?re not asleep yet?
There was some problems tonight
How can I sleep?
I thought about that night
It was exactly the same as tonight
She saved my life
If not, I wouldn't be here today
This pistol was a gift from a Frenchmen
It's so dangerous around here
Take it with you!
Dad, I can take care myself
Keep it with you
I've got guards to protect me
I'm worried about you
You're my only child
I don't want anything to happen to you
then who'd inherit my country
I'm old
I've see everything already
Remember, I'd do anything for you
Dad!
If I lose this key
I'll have to start from the beginning
Work like a dog
For your children future
Remember these words
I have a girl with me tonight,
I'll see you in the morning
General!
Dad keeps the key with him
If we steal the key, and open the safe
At the same time, It will be too obvious
You're right!
Unless we make a mold of the key
Then put it back instantly
That's simple,
steal it while he's sleeping,
it might work
My Dad has a different woman
with him each night
That woman would notice
Is he alone when he's bathing?
There's nowhere to hide in the bathroom
What else can we do?
Can I make a little suggestion?
Why is he here?
It's so easy to be caught running around
It's safer to stay here?
Can you stop arguing?
Listen to my suggestion first!
OK
You said the bedroom & you,
the bathroom
Why not the toilet?
Toilet!
When the General leaves his house
Everyone has that necessity
If you can make him to go to the toilet
And you wait for him in there
Then he's trapped
I'm finished
If there?s no other way
We can try this one
The toilet, really?
Which one?
I'm thinking!
Kwok Wo Building!
Mr. Wong, they are the
actors from Tinjuin
Take them to see Fa
This way...
Get everything ready
Yes!
Go!
What are you doing? Come down!
Don't mess around this time!
Just work
Hurry!
Knock it off!
Pearl... come out!
That way
The box is up there
Damn it!
Why are you cleaning the doorway?
The seats are almost full
Out of the way... we're celebrating
It's our place tonight!
Go away
Go away...
Let's celebrate
Ask your men to come down for a present
Put it down!
Don't touch
What's the matter?
What is that down there?
Who are you sending the present to?
They are for Fa
from Commander Liu
Who is looking for me?
Someone sent those to you
When you are in good luck
Everything goes so smoothly
Even the council will
take notice of you
Right, our Commander wants you happy
After you have these
He'll pick you up in 3 days
Then you'll be his wife
But I'm a man
He doesn't want to
That's it
I don't want to...
go for someone else
I want you!
Don't touch me!
I'm not into that...
I can't marry you!
Uh... Uhh... I like women, I'm sorry!
You won't marry me?
No!
Beat him then!
You made your choice
You say that...
You would never marry me
So I have to force you now
Her hands are so soft
You wouldn't want to ruin that
Look at yourself
Flirting around
Too bad...
You can't have Liu's present now
So, stop flirting with him and...
Please Marry him for the Theater
She'll be ready in 3 days
Search around
My dear
Think of our comfortable
lives afterward
The General's here
He's here because of me?
We can't have a show
without FA
Don't do that in front of The General
General!
Fa!
Please, you have to save me
I'm the Ticketing Officer Mr. Liu
Coming to protect the General
Are you going to try to escape?
Where will you go?
Far away from here
I'll go act in some small town
What are you doing?
Take some more costumes with you
You can make use of them
Take my place
Don't let anyone see me running away
I have something for you
Take some medicine with you
Run
Run!
If we don't see each other again!
Take care!
Take care!
Put on the make up
The General doesn't like
this kind of food
Change it
Look, how good this dimsum looks
Who is she?
Your daughter
Oh god, I'm done for
Go look for Fa?
Yes!
General!
Who's that?
I don't know!
How can it get any worse?
I can't find Fa backstage
What? He's gone!
Don't let him get away
Yes!
She's fake, I'm real
She's fake, I'm real
Let's go
I'll get you!
Quick...
I go on that side
Wrong position
What am I going to do?
Follow me
Just do what I do?
General, I'm hungry
Take a bite then
Miss, are you alright?
I'm fine
Take them backstage
No need to explain
Yes Sir!
I'm hurt
You can't die,
go out and get them!
If they are women
They can become my wives
Boss, shall I die or not?
Since you like it so much, stay dead
No need play dead
We can make that a reality
General, I've got a stomach ache
Go to the toilet then
What are we going to do?
Take him away!
Yes, Sir!
That hurts!
Who is he?
So painful!
Don't touch my chest!
She's a woman,
what am I going to now?
Commander Liu!
What's the matter, Miss?
Where's the toilet?
This way, I'll show you
No, thanks!
I can find my way,
you stay here and protect the General
Pak!
Follow her to the bathroom
How'd she pass out?
It was because of me
Miss Choi!
Miss Choi passed out
Get her out of here
Yes!
Here!
Yes!
What happened?
There's a ghost, in the toilet!
Ghost?
Not a ghost, it's Fa
Protect the General
Hold the gun to my head
Hold it!
Grab the Spy
Put the gun down! Get up!
Look out!
Get down!
Oh my box!
This way!
But, my box!
You flew extremely well,
Too bad you're not a bird
But you'll be in my hands
And I'll keep you in my cage
And feed you breadcrumbs!
Release him!
Let him go or I'll shoot the General
I hope he shoots that man
He's bad
That hostage is my Father
Hope he's not out of ammo
I only have one bullet
You can't escape after
shooting the General?
I don't care, exchange hostages
Exchange them!
Grab him, don't shoot
Look at me!
Hold it!
Who do you think you are! Fire!
I can't believe the General shot at me
Don't cry in front of everyone
There's revolutionaries in the theatre
You saved the day,
take this as a reward
Close down the theatre
Close down the theatre?
Dad!
I told you not to go on stage
You little shit! I'll kill you!
Stand still!
Run!
To where?
I'm going to kill her
Don't...
I told not to go on stage,
but you did
I'm going to kill you
Get off me...
The theatre is closing down
Why are you still here?
Dad, I left something back-stage
Go home first!
Protect Miss
Yes!
Found it!
It's cold outside, put a coat on
I don't need your sympathy
Your performance was terrific
What for?
When a woman performs on stage
Everyone laughs at her
Don't be silly,
The audience loved it
Don't be sad, you were amazing
If you fail, try harder
Be strong
Get out of here!
Come here!
Quick...
Let's go get a drink
OK!
You like the clothes, I got them overseas
I wanted to ask you...
Why do you always... dress up like... a boy?
It's so nobody will notice me
Maybe you should try it sometime
What is this?
This is a globe
A what?
This is our world
China's right here
Look!
Where's Peking?
That dot right there
Where's the Kwok Wo Building?
Inside the dot
Huh? I don't see any houses?
If Peking looks like a dot
The world is bigger than I thought
What else is on here?
You want to move somewhere else?
Everyone is moving far away
I'd love to leave Peking
I don't get it,
Peking is a nice place?
Why would you want to leave?
right?
No matter how hard you try
You'll always end up back
where you started
Dad!
Your still awake?
I can't sleep!
These are my friends
They were just going home
They can stay the night
Thanks anyway Dad,
but they really need to go
Come on!
Who are they?
They were the actors on stage today
So, they're women
Look out!
What are you doing here?
The Publishing Office
is being watched
Officer told us not to
go back there tonight
Right,
we need a place to hide out
It's so cold
We only have one bed & one blanket
How will we sleep?
Doesn't matter, we're all girls here
We can all sleep together
Come on!
We can share the blanket
Alright
Come On! You can get closer
Boss...
What's the matter?
The General ordered to
reopen the theatre
He's coming tonight
Look for your daughter
and that girl
Why?
If not, your dead!
Hurry!
Pat Neil...
Pat Neil...
How come you didn't answer me
Are feeling alright?
Do you have a fever?
Maybe just a cold
Just rest today
Really!
I want to apologize for
being so mean to you...
I feel awful about it
Your hands are so rough, from working
Dad!
Put your blanket on
I've performed my whole life
I'm getting older
You should follow in my footsteps
Dad!
From now on I'm going to let you perform
I love being on stage Daddy
Yes, I know
I love you!
I love you too!
I love you!
I love you too!
I love you Daddy!
You?re going to make me cry!
Why do you always yawn so weird?
Get some rest
Are we re-opening tonight?
Yes, that reminds me...
That girl from last night...
Where can I find her?
Where'd you come from!?
Were you looking for me?
I didn't see you earlier?
Dad!
Ok now you?ve seen her
And she's seen you
We'll be on stage tonight
Why are you dressed up like this?
That was close!
We have to practice for tonight
I've got a plan
a plan?
One more time
It's too hard,
I don't want to do it
Again
Sheung Hung's seducing my Dad?
What? you want me to seduce her Dad?
And stay there all night?!
That's the only way to take
off my Dad's coat
The key is in the coat
That means I have to get
married to your Dad
And you'll call me mom?
You put this powder
in his drink
He'll wake up in an hour
She'll take care of the rest
Why should I help you?
Give me the key
And all of this is yours
Why didn't you ask Pat Neil?
We knew you couldn't say "No" to Gold
Your right about that!
What was that?
Nothing!
Sheung Hung, Pat Neil, your turn
Quick!
Pat Neil, Sheung Hung
Congratulations on your debut tonight
Thank you!
Your going to do great tonight
It's too dangerous here,
you'll get caught?
This might be our last night together
Last night?!
This is our final mission
Unless you decided to stay with us
Well... I hope we meet again
Are you worried about your Dad?
He's my only relative
If he finds out you did all this
Would he ever forgive you?
No!
I think he would!
There?s no way
He trusts me the most
The General has invited you
to his Mansion
We both have to go?
What's wrong,
once a woman starts working
They all have this problem
If you both don't go,
we're all done for
What are you going to do?
I'll go find Mr. Ling
He can think of something
Where's the powder!
Don't worry, here?s another one
This is the last one,
don't lose it, it's very important
You're so good to me,
I've been wanting to tell you something
Remember the riot at the General's house,
and somebody hit you...
Don't say it
I knew it was you
I didn't mean it
You hit me really hard
It's all in the past
Don't screw up, Don't screw up...
The General's here
You two performed so great
I invited you here
Have a seat?
Look at my hands
You want to play games? there's nothing in that one
and nothing in the other one
Look closer, aren?t they lovely
Forget your hands, Let's have some fun
I think they'd look
better with lots of jewelry
What'd you think?
You're so greedy and so beautiful
Let me see your hands too
What's in your palms?
Let me see...
So soft
The other one, let me see it...
Relax...
What the!!?
General!
What are you doing?
Let's play a different game
What game?
Just guess
I don't know!?
Tell me!
Game over
If there's no more games then...
it's time to drink
I don't drink
You have to drink
Stop it!
Don't!
C'mon drink it!
Finish the glass...
What just happened in here?
I broke a vase over his head
Don't wake him up
Find it yet?
Is it this one?
Where did you get it?
In his pocket
You opened it?
Is it this one?
Yes, it is
Open it
This is for your help tonight
That's it?
What do you mean?
I think I deserve more...
If I wasn't so smart
You would never have found the papers
So I should get more
But, I already have the papers though
Why would I pay you more?
What you don't know is...
when I found the papers, I kept 1
It'd be a shame if it got lost
Hand it over!
No!
Hand it over!
You wouldn't shoot me
Pat Neil and I risked our lives
You should pay her too
You?re crazy
All you care about is your mission
And all you care about is money
Both of you betrayed your friends
I don't ever want to see you again
Pat Neil!
Don't touch me
You've totally used me
to seduce your Dad
I didn't use you
You've betrayed your Dad...
And your friends too,
don't you have a conscience?
I'm not doing this for myself
I hope your Dad finds out who you really are
What will you do then?
Someone help!
Let her go
Sheung Hung, it's ok
Don't be scared
He's from the Ticketing Office
That means this place is being watched
the others must've left to tell what they heard
Dad...
Shhh... be quiet
It's ok, it's Pat Neil
Pat Neil!
Mr. Kam!
Your Dad and the actors
were imprisoned
What?
The General is looking
for you and Sheung Hung
What are we going to do
We?re leaving!
Where are we going?
Na-king!
Our men will meet you there
Let's go!
What about my Dad?
Don't worry, Tsao Wan
will save your Dad
C'mon on!
Go! Go! Hurry!
This way!
What're you doing here?
Tsao Wan asked me to give you this
Where is she?
They found out who she really is
We were being watched and didn't know
They know everything now,
we have to get out of here
What?
Search everywhere
Find them
Yes!
Look on that side
- They'll be killed!
- There's nothing we can do!
Take the paper with you!
What are you waiting for!
Run!
C'mon!
Pat Neil, run!
Don't let them get away, chase them!
Go!
Take that side!
This way!
You two go over that way
Yes!
I have a plan
Take care of the paper
I'll lead them away
Hai!
Run!
You stay here, the others follow me
Over there
Let's go!
Freeze...
If not, I'll shoot you
What are we going to do?
Don't be scared, I'll find
a way to save them
One of our men discovered the true identity
of the General's Daughter... she's a spy
How are we going to handle this?
Who?
Dad!
Pack your things
We have to leave tonight
If you go away with all these people
It's too obvious
It's too risky
Dad lost something very important,
he needs to go
This is very serious!
If your subordinates know you
lost your power, there'll be a riot
It's safer
if you go in disguise
In disguise?
If I was afraid of danger
I wouldn't be a General would I
I fought with my life for years
Killed men on the frontlines
Dad, think of the others
Think about the whole situation
This is my business not yours
Those bastards
They're are selfish
They're only worried about money
and power!
Dad!
Dad,
if your council thinks that way
Why do we need the government?
That's me, I shoot whoever goes against me
Dad!
No matter what's happening,
At least were together
Pack up, time is running out
Alright I'll get my things!
Give me the key, you two can go!
Yes!
I'm here to help you
We got help...
We're free
Yes
Stop singing,
Or I'll lock you back in there
Move aside!
Where are they going?!
Move!
Hurry up!
Dad!
Where are your bags?!
I haven't packed yet
Let's go without it!
Report!
Yes?
The Ticketing Officers are here
Who do you think they are?
Why are you here? Go!
We want to invite your
daughter to our office
As we suspect she's connected
with the revolutionaries
How dare you say that!
My daughter is not a spy!
If anyone says that, I'll kill him
Dad...
Dad...
Dad!
My daughter would never be a spy!
Wan, run...
Grab the gun
General Tun ran away
with everything
Why'd he come back?
I don't understand politics
Tsao used to have Power
Then Tun ran off
Since, Tsao is dead
That bastard Tun is back
It's really simple
What did you say?
Just talking politics!
Is that so?
Take him away!
Why are you taking me?!
Your being arrested for slander!
Get him out of here!
Captain Sa!
Where are the papers?
I swallowed them
Quit playing games!
Get the salt water!
Just tell me where it is
Before I really lose my temper
Hold it!
You want to have some real fun
before you kill her? just me and you!
But not here, let's go somewhere else
How about on her Daddy's bed?
Tsao Wan...
I want these two to be...
Executed by nightfall
Yes!
Sir, someone wants to see you
I won't see anyone from now on...
till tomorrow morning
Shoot him if he insists!
General!
Oh, it's you?
General, she's been looking
for you for so long
She's gotten very ill
She has a fever
Why didn't you tell me that?
I'm sorry sir
Take her to the study room
You can go
Wait for me outside
Don't bother me, if not,
I'll shoot you
Where am I?
Oh, it's you, General?
You passed out just now
My heart is beating so fast
If you don't believe me, listen
I'll listen alright!
What are you doing?
General!
Be patient
Get over here...
Give me a kiss
Just wait a minute!
Stop it!
Playing games!
Come...
Don't go!
Come back...
I got you... come back...
Come back...
I said stop it!
Let me guess another paperweight?
What are you doing?
General?
What's happening?
General...
Don't
General, they barged in on us
while we were sleeping together
Tell them to leave!
And tell my sister to come in
General asks you to go in
Close the door!
Sheung Hung!
Tsao Wan, how come your here too?
Keep quiet!
Sit down first
Why are you crying?
Who did that to you?
Tell me, who?
I'm fine, don't worry
They're going to execute
Pak Hoiand Tung Man tonight
The sun is setting,
what can we do?
Find a way to save them
Did you see the window
of the tallest building?
He's being held in there
Pat Neil, do you think
you can climb up there?
I'm thinking of a way
Go and get the General's pistol
This is so gross!
Their lives are in your hands
You have to succeed
Be careful!
Tie up the bed sheet
Tie it up?!
Climb down!
Quick!
Open the gate!
By order of the General...
You are to be executed
Immediately
Ready!
Aim!
FIRE!
How are you?
OK!
Get the keys
Wonder what's taking so long?
I'll take a look!
C'mon!
Take that side?
The garage is over there
Quick!
Peking Duck!
Peking Duck is here
Pak Hoi, Tsao Wan!
Tung Man, Sheung Hung!
Are you OK?
I'm fine
Pat Neil?
We can all hug later!
Get in the car
Captain!
Time for your lunch break
Where's the papers?
Back at the theater
Is everyone here lazy?
C'mon people get it together?
Get out!
Mr. Kam!
Pat Neil!
Where's my Dad?
Mr. Wong...
Pat Neil, you're back
Dad!
Are you alright?
I'm fine!
We came to pick something up
then we have to leave
You're leaving tonight?
Captain, they're car is here
They must be somewhere close
Let's go
Yes sir!
Follow me!
Block the street
Everyone sit down!
And don't move!
Search the theatre
Yes!
They know we're here
We can go out the backdoor
The theatre's surrounded
They blocked all the exits
How about you all perform on stage?
at least your in disguise
Our beards are tangled
You can't find them anywhere?
We'll get out through the roof
When?
The codeword is "collapse"
Captain, all our men are here
Get in position
Yes!
They have to be here!
My wings are stuck!
They're going up to the roof
Follow them!!
Go!
Quick!
Help!
Don't worry I got you
Be quiet, they're down there
Let's go
Get down!
Are you alright?
Don't worry, I'll be ok
There's more coming!
Captain, be careful!
Start running!
Don't follow me!
Tsao Wan!
Wan!
Cover me
I regret nothing!
Look up there!
Fire!
Tsao Wan!
Is that Commander Liu?
Is he dead?
We?re done for!
Let's get out of here!
I'm heading South,
to hand this paper to congress
And let them handle Yuen
Where are the rest of you headed?
I'm going to keep on performing
I'm going to leave china when
I get enough money
It's too unpredictable here
I'm going back to my hometown
So I guess this goodbye?
This isn't our last time together
Once the revolution is over with...
We'll meet up again in Peking
See you then
Take care
Till then!
