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!
