The Rebel Intruders (1980) - full transcript
Three refugees become sworn brothers during a war. One (Kuo Chui/Philip Kwok) works in a whore house, one (Chiang Sheng) in a gambling house, and the other (Lo Mang) in a martial arts school. They become embroiled in the war and are betrayed by one's mentor.

Meet Mr. Zhang Xiang Hu,
our man for the East City
This is Pan Feng who is
responsible for the north city
Deng Yun Tong is in charge of
the west city
Fan Zhang Hua is in charge of
the south city
This is my brother Yao Zong
You all have seen lately that
Commander Lin is expanding his power
in the north and
it's difficult to maintain order
as refugees rush in
that's why chief Zeng is here to guide us
We have a big responsibility
and we must patrol day and night
to prevent outlaws from committing crimes
We must be prepared to keep
Lin's forces from coming
Mr. Huang said if we succeed
there'll be good rewards
We are divided into 4 regions
Fan Zhang Hua is in charge of
the south city
the three of you must be careful
in your region
What is chief Zeng's style of kung fu?
As a soldier
he focuses on leading the army
There will be a war here?
Lin has been expanding his forces
This area is
under the control of Mr. Huang
You must follow his orders
Right, I rather go on patrol
than sit here
Thank you
This is the Iron Fist team
led by Zhang Xiang Hu
this is the Fast Sword unit
led by Pan Feng
this is the Sword
Fan Zhang Hua and my brother
will lead the Spear unit
Boss Deng, these are loiterers
we should drive them away
They wouldn't loiter if they had homes
let them be if they
don't cause any troubles
Get up
Let go
Go away...
Make way...
Get lost
A meal...
Here's our meal...
Line up
Women, children and the aged first
Come on
In line
Line up... quick
"Militia Headquarters"

I beg of you
Please let my son go
Here's the money
Where's the money? Speak
In my shoe
Money
Enjoy to the utmost, this is our world
Damn
What are you doing?
Stop crying
Help
We'll take care of you
No, help...
Would be nice if she were
sent to Yu Xiang brothel
Right
What are you doing? Stealing buns?
Thief
Kill him...
Thief
Rebellion... the refugees are rebelling
Captain's order, kill without mercy
Let's go
Let's go
Did it out of hunger;
isn't a crime that warrants death
Don't let him get away
Chase
Chase
Quick...
"Yu Xiang Brothel"
This way, quick
Hurry...
If you exit my room like that
you'll be caught at once
Please take a seat
Everyday someone gets killed, you...
I don't know where I could run to
What are you afraid of?
That you'll fall for me
You're a funny guy, what are you good at?
Everything
Right, comb my hair then
I don't know how to serve women,
but only beat them up
Could you do heavy manual labour?
This is...
A whore house
As a refugee from the north
so far I have only met
one good person and that's you
Go away...
Did you hear that?
Teacher
Why did you hit me?
I can hit you any time I want
Okay. Agreed, I'm not a human being;
God forbid if it's a war here,
you'd also be like me
Great skill
It's raining, come with me
"Xiang Hu martial arts school"
It's not easy to take me on
over 20 moves, you may go
I am weak, haven't eaten for 3, 4 days
otherwise you couldn't have beaten me
Wait
He's really hungry
I'm full
I watched you practise just now
did you hit all this stuff?
Right
I watched you hit and hit
but in vain
That's easy to say, these are iron plates
We're no good, but watch our teacher
Right, I punched you just now
That's because of hunger
Don't go, what's your name?
I need a trainer, you...
I am Jin Zheng Ping
"Yun Tong Tavern"
Somebody's stealing
What's the matter?
Look
What do you want to do?
I want to cool the bun
Attack...
Come on
Wait
Boss, he stole 2 stacks of buns
Come down
Come down? Do you think I am a fool?
No, I won't hit you
With your skills
what a waste to be a thief!
What a pity!
I have no choice
With your skills
you needn't worry of making a living
Follow me
Alright, no big deal
if I don't die being beaten to death
I'll die of hunger
Here are some clothes
If you go on the streets like this
everyone will take you for a refugee
and you might be slaughtered
by some ill-tempered militia
I could get you a job
at boss Pan's gambling house
Gambling house

Everything alright?
Yes, the guests wanna spend big

They won't have such

Wow, some more tips again!
You're great, this is for you
Thanks
You...
You tell him it'll be big,
but to me you say 'small'
someone must win for listening to you
And then you'll get your tips, right?
Well, just trying to make a buck
If you gamble, you risk losing, so shut up
That's right
Who told you to listen to me, give it back
You want to get away without paying?
You must be tired of living
Damn
Attack
Attack
Attack
Attack
Stop fighting
Let's go...
Don't go...
Stop fighting...
Watch me
Damn you
Are you from the Black Tiger school?
Is yours the Mantis style?
That's right
By your accent you ain't from around here
Of course not, I'm a refugee
So am I, we're from the same home town
How is Su Zhong related to you?
He's my teacher
How are you related to Zhong Nan Shan?
He's my teacher
He always used to say, all that
the Black Tigers know are a few tricks
Master Su is a good man however
What?
The Black Tigers know only tricks?
If it were not for your teacher's sake...
My teacher says, though master
Zhong's kung fu is common
he is a good person
What? Common?
Come and try it
Why are we fighting?
It stinks
Listen, I'm also a refugee
why are we fighting?
From what you said
your teachers know each other
Right
Stop fighting, I'll treat you to drinks
Good
You will use my money?
Right
You...
Damn you
"Guang Tai restaurant"
Boss
Hurry...
You...
What are you looking at? The money's here
Bring out the good dishes and wine
Yes...
What have you done wrong?
The boss seems to know you
When I was escaping
I was so hungry
I stole food from this place
I am luckier than you
I was stealing at the other tavern
and the boss not only let me go
but also gave me clothes
He also introduced me to work
in the gambling house
That boss Deng is a kind man
I was taken in by master Zhang
I heard when the refugees robbed
the militia killed quite a few people
Right, it's because of my kung fu
that I was able to survive,
fighting with a bench chair
Forget it
Our Mantis style fears no weapons
even if unarmed
That I have to try
Hey... Again?
It seems fate has put
the three of us together
since all of us have escaped as
refugees from the north
Let us swear to become brothers
just like the ancient three heroes
Right
Come
We should drink blood wine
Bring it on
I am a man and fear not
You are the eldest in terms of age
but in terms of kung fu...
What? Is Black Tiger kung fu
not as good as yours?
Right, let's try
We're brothers now
we shouldn't be fighting
He's the eldest,
you're second and I am third
we respect each other,
that's the way it should be
There are three of us here today
who have sworn to be blood brothers
Stand still
Boss Pan
I am the new staff at the gambling house
recommended by Boss Deng
Boss Pan, I am the watchman
at Yu Xiang brothel
Don't loiter at night,
the militia is on patrol
Yes
So you are the watchman at the whore house
It's a transient abode only
Are the girls there pretty?
Damn you
When are we going to the whore house?
Look how he keeps watch
A while back you said to
respect big brother
Right, go
What are you doing?
Visiting a friend
I'll go first
Halt
Excuse me, where is the Chen residence?
Zu Guang told me
the Chen residence is well-known
in these parts
So you are a friend of Deputy Chief Chen
I'm his relative and
have been away on business
My name is Yuen
What's your line of business?
It�s just a small business
There's good security here
Walk through this alley eastwards
and you're there
Thanks...
Attention
You're a merchant?
Yes
There's only one kind of person
who'd stand up straight
on hearing an order
you're a soldier
Don't move, come over
Don't move
Stand still
Where are you from?
Search him
"To Chen Zu Guang"
Boss, he is delivering a letter
from commander Lin
You must want to die
to come into commander Huang's territory
Stop shouting
Come, escort him
to assistant chief Chen
Yes, move
Master, no need to
look at the letter secretly
I've read it already
You have?
Yes
So you and commander Lin
have already made contact
And Lin intends to lead his troops south
Don't play tricks
That's right, he said
commander Huang's troops will fall easily
and once he takes over
he'll make me an officer
Now that you know,
what do you intend to do?
You could report it to chief Zeng
Let's go
Young master, only you and I
know about this now
Right, it's good that boss Pan
makes fast decisions as a real man should
I am much beholden to you
Please
Young master, we need two more people
to succeed in this matter
They are boss Deng and master Zhang
they lead the militia troops
one of them is already on our side
The other might not follow
I'll get rid of him first
Who's on our side and who's against us?
I'll tell you when the time comes
There's one more person...
Yes, chief Zeng
he has been sent by commander Huang
I have made arrangements for this too
"Yu Xiang brothel"
Go over there
Our guest is here
Sir
What is it?
Could you leave for a moment?
Of course not
he has to stand up when a customer arrives
I was right
Hey, this costs quite some money
I have money
Even so
think of those who are starving
do a charitable act
Don't go
Don't go, have a seat
Come
Come in
Boss Deng
It's you
I almost didn't recognise you,
how are you?
Great. Boss Deng
This is my friend Jin Zheng Ping,
also a refugee
we made some money recently
You wish to establish a small business?
No, we'd like you to help get
some provisions for the refugees
You have a kind heart, that's great
It's all yours
It's all here, some more here
Count it
Everything's been arranged
with commander Lin
What about the Zeng fellow?
Don't worry
Fan Zhang Hua has arranged for him to be
at Pan's place
Make it a clean job
I have discussed this with 2nd master
Pan has arranged to disburse
other people. And after
we finish him off
we'll throw his body in the alley
and blame it on the refugees
It's almost time; proceed
Yes
"Yu Xiang brothel"
There are many beautiful girls
2nd Master, so it's you
Well? Want to hit me?
No, I thought it was somebody else
my other friend
Be careful
Yes...
Please
It's best not to bump into other people
As a chief, I am a bit embarrassed
If the girls knew you are the chief
they'll treat you even nicer
We're honoured by your patronage,
this way please
2nd Master...
Good...
Let's go
Girls, please retire to your rooms
we'll call you in due course
Sorry... please...
Please
Thanks...
We have agreed with Pan to
disburse everyone
no one will know what has happened here
It's good no one will disturb us
The girls are in the rooms
just tell us which one you like
Commander Huang has asked me to
maintain order here
I would be promoted from a chief
to an official
At that time...
What if commander Lin
drives away commander Huang?
Chief Zeng, this way please...
Look
The watchman is a refugee
Let him take the blame
Let's go round the alley
leave the body and notify the militia
and blame the refugees for
robbery and murder
Let's go
We did a good deed
It's like having swallowed a rotten egg
I got punched and it still hurts
Who did this?
Forget it, we can't cross master Chen
He can't go around hitting people
That's right
It's my fault that
I mistook him for Yu Han Sheng
That's great
Way to go
That's great
2nd master, you killed chief Zeng
Bullshit, you are the culprits
and killed chief Zeng
They want us to take the blame
Let's go
What's the matter?
Chase them
They killed second master and chief Zeng
This way
This way... quick...
See them?
No
Search again
Anyone this time?
We've looked over everywhere already
Search again
What's wrong with this girl?
Still keen on entertaining the guests!
Damn you
I saw everything
They murdered and
want us to take the blame
But you killed second master
We could only run
Run
But where to?
Go to boss Deng, he is a good person
We're here
and to find him we must go south
and pass the troops led by Zhang Xiang Hu
The Iron Fist troops
Also the Fast Sword unit of boss Pan
The Spear unit of Chen Zu Guang
must be looking for us this very moment
Thanks for saving me twice
I don't know if we can find boss Deng
If we couldn't escape
we should return to this alley before dawn
You could find us there
It's not convenient for us
to carry this stick
please keep it with you
If you return it
it means there's danger
"Chen"
Sir...
Well? Have you failed to
get rid of chief Zeng?
I've got it, we proceeded as planned
and put the blame on the refugees
They have seen through our plot
So what?
They're just refugees, what could they do?
They fought with us and
killed second master
Where's the murderer?
They have gone
Gather everyone and search the whole city
Yes
Second master is dead
Let's go and catch the killer
Right
Let's leave it for the time being though
The refugees couldn't be kung fu masters
There'll be more important things
happening here
and I don't want to
expose our true strength
Don't make a move unless we need you to
Yes
Three of them killed chief Zeng
and my brother
I have already ordered a citywide search
with a huge reward
Kill...
Hurry
Chase
Go...
Go
Go
Halt
Great timing, are you coming quietly
or need we tie you up?
We're innocent
You can tell that to assistant chief
Master Zhang, you can
take all the glory, just arrest me
and let them go
What? Let's fight together
Stop
Master Zhang, I am indebted to you
and don't want to fight with you
but we have not killed chief Zeng
Chen Yao Zong and Fan Zhang Hua killed him
What?
They committed murder and
wanted to dispose of the body
we bumped into them
and they wanted to kill and silence us
we were forced to kill Chen Yao Zong
It's useless talking to him, attack
I'll deal with him, you two escape
Looks like you have a strong bond
and you're serious
Master Zhang, why don't you understand?
Chief Zeng works for chief Huang
Chen Zu Guang intends to side with Lin
Master Zhang, the three of them...
They escaped through there
Chase them
Boss Pan
didn't those three kill chief Zeng?
Master once asked if
I intend to join commander Lin...
It's good you understand. Well, anyway
we put the blame on those three men
Right, boss Pan
If you get them, you'll get the glory
Don't leave anyone alive
Of course, master Zhang...
All the students come back
We dare not to fight with you for glory
Master Zhang,
it's good that you understand
Right, I won't involve you, farewell
What's your plan...
Boss Deng is a good person
We'll go to his place
and then decide what to do
That would still involve boss Deng
Besides, Chen has ordered the militia
to search for you
it's not that easy to go to boss Deng's
Then we must fight our way
Get me two sets of clothing
Yes
Master Zhang
Maybe I should escort you to
boss Deng's and discuss matters
If he is willing to help
we virtually own half of the troops
and Chen Zu Guang wouldn't dare
mess with us
What are you looking at?
Don't you recognise me?
Master Zhang, why are you here?
Have you seen boss Pan?
We just found their trail
Didn't boss Pan catch up with them?
No
The whole city is looking for them,
they can't escape
Okay, we're in boss Deng's territory
Is boss Deng at the tavern?
Yes
"Yun Tong Tavern"
Master Zhang, in this matter
I'm with you all the way
Yes, commander Lin is cruel
If his troops are here
it would be terrible!
Right
Don't worry, stay at my place
Yes...
Wouldn't Chen Zu Guang suspect you?
No
Go quickly
It's too late
Zhang Xiang Hu has led them to the tavern
Boss Deng said...
Bring the troops to the tavern
A wolf in sheep's clothing,
we have been hoodwinked
Let's get out of here
Where to?
The whole matter arose because
chief Zeng got killed
Let's swear allegiance to commander Huang
They are all the same
If we could escape to
the other side of the river
it's the area of
the southern revolutionary troops
Over here
We're late
They can't escape, you two come here
Listen
Boss Pan, you...
Have they gone to boss Deng's?
I don't know...
They think boss Deng would help them
not realising he
has been on our side
You say that Huang fellow is your relative
and you have let him to be a watchman
How is he related to you?
They have escaped from the tavern
and Zhang Xiang Hu is dead
Where do you think they would go?
I think they will come here
Yes, he did say that
If he doesn't come,
you'll need to look for them
When you do,
take them to the gambling house
and say
master Zhang's pupils will gather there
If they don't, then you...
Don't kill me, I'll go
Well?
It's dawn, what should we do?
There's curfew everywhere, we could
mix in with the crowd
Someone's coming
Come with me, quick
Where to?
Doesn't matter, she won't harm us
Master Zhang's pupils
want to meet with you
to discuss the matter
"Tai Lai Gambling House"
You've led us here
Where are master Zhang's pupils?
Inside
It's not my will, open it and you'll see
Jin Zheng Ping, come back
Well?
Got one
And the other two?
I've arranged with Pan Feng
to grab the other two and bring them here
and hang all three as an example
Right, I'll go along and watch out
to prevent someone from sneaking away
Hang this one first and
meet at the gambling house
Yes
What do you want to do?
Sir, please help
I'm also a refugee like him
Give him some water, and show our kindness
He's going to die,
couldn't he be allowed to drink?
A criminal to be beheaded
is also allowed wine
What's the big deal with water?
That's right...
Alright, hurry
Drink up
Drink up
Get lost
Get up
Stop...
How could we save Jin Zheng Ping?
Where could we find him?
We'll join the revolution army
across the south river as arranged
If Jin Zheng Ping could escape
we could find him there
We have no choice
All set?
He got away
What?
But he is also injured
They would have gone to seek help
from commander Huang
You are not their match
Take these men and go west
Take the shortcut to chase them
Right, go
Come back
They might defect
to the revolutionary troops
I'll personally wait there for them
If you can't get them,
meet up at the southern river
Yes
Go
"Si Tong Pier"
Stand still
Don't think you could get away
You know me?
I saw you once, can't say I know you
but I know you are
one of the escaped murderers
Firstly, you don't look like a local;
Locals would know better
than to come to the pier tonight
Secondly, you have wounds on you
and the one caught by Fan Zhang Hua
escaped with wounds
You are the chief of
the Chen Zu Guang militia?
Right, do you think I would let you go?
I've heard your kung fu is good,
I fear you not though
We are here
I beg of you, please?
There's a war going on, and we have been
forced to leave our homes to survive
Go
Thanks...
What are you looking at?
Go
Move
Go on, hurry
Quick, move...
Move it...

Thanks
Good
See our guest out
Come tomorrow

Don't
See you
Good bye
Wait
Everything alright?
Yes, the guests wanna spend big
in front of the girls
They won't have such
nice treatment at home
That's it for today
I want to go and have a walk
"Tai Lai Gambling House"
I guarantee it will be big
Right
Bet on big
Open...
Place your bets
It must be small this time
Small
Place your bets
Small...
Open, 4, 4, 5
Big
Wow, some more tips again!
You're great, this is for you
Thanks
You...
You tell him it'll be big,
but to me you say 'small'
someone must win for listening to you
And then you'll get your tips, right?
Well, just trying to make a buck
If you gamble, you risk losing, so shut up
That's right
Who told you to listen to me, give it back
You want to get away without paying?
You must be tired of living
Damn
Attack
Attack
Attack
Attack
Stop fighting
Let's go...
Don't go...
Stop fighting...
Watch me
Damn you
Are you from the Black Tiger school?
Is yours the Mantis style?
That's right
By your accent you ain't from around here
Of course not, I'm a refugee
So am I, we're from the same home town
How is Su Zhong related to you?
He's my teacher
How are you related to Zhong Nan Shan?
He's my teacher
He always used to say, all that
the Black Tigers know are a few tricks
Master Su is a good man however
What?
The Black Tigers know only tricks?
If it were not for your teacher's sake...
My teacher says, though master
Zhong's kung fu is common
he is a good person
What? Common?
Come and try it
Why are we fighting?
It stinks
Listen, I'm also a refugee
why are we fighting?
From what you said
your teachers know each other
Right
Stop fighting, I'll treat you to drinks
Good
You will use my money?
Right
You...
Damn you
"Guang Tai restaurant"
Boss
Hurry...
You...
What are you looking at? The money's here
Bring out the good dishes and wine
Yes...
What have you done wrong?
The boss seems to know you
When I was escaping
I was so hungry
I stole food from this place
I am luckier than you
I was stealing at the other tavern
and the boss not only let me go
but also gave me clothes
He also introduced me to work
in the gambling house
That boss Deng is a kind man
I was taken in by master Zhang
I heard when the refugees robbed
the militia killed quite a few people
Right, it's because of my kung fu
that I was able to survive,
fighting with a bench chair
Forget it
Our Mantis style fears no weapons
even if unarmed
That I have to try
Hey... Again?
It seems fate has put
the three of us together
since all of us have escaped as
refugees from the north
Let us swear to become brothers
just like the ancient three heroes
Right
Come
We should drink blood wine
Bring it on
I am a man and fear not
You are the eldest in terms of age
but in terms of kung fu...
What? Is Black Tiger kung fu
not as good as yours?
Right, let's try
We're brothers now
we shouldn't be fighting
He's the eldest,
you're second and I am third
we respect each other,
that's the way it should be
There are three of us here today
who have sworn to be blood brothers
Stand still
Boss Pan
I am the new staff at the gambling house
recommended by Boss Deng
Boss Pan, I am the watchman
at Yu Xiang brothel
Don't loiter at night,
the militia is on patrol
Yes
So you are the watchman at the whore house
It's a transient abode only
Are the girls there pretty?
Damn you
When are we going to the whore house?
Look how he keeps watch
A while back you said to
respect big brother
Right, go
What are you doing?
Visiting a friend
I'll go first
Halt
Excuse me, where is the Chen residence?
Zu Guang told me
the Chen residence is well-known
in these parts
So you are a friend of Deputy Chief Chen
I'm his relative and
have been away on business
My name is Yuen
What's your line of business?
It�s just a small business
There's good security here
Walk through this alley eastwards
and you're there
Thanks...
Attention
You're a merchant?
Yes
There's only one kind of person
who'd stand up straight
on hearing an order
you're a soldier
Don't move, come over
Don't move
Stand still
Where are you from?
Search him
"To Chen Zu Guang"
Boss, he is delivering a letter
from commander Lin
You must want to die
to come into commander Huang's territory
Stop shouting
Come, escort him
to assistant chief Chen
Yes, move
Master, no need to
look at the letter secretly
I've read it already
You have?
Yes
So you and commander Lin
have already made contact
And Lin intends to lead his troops south
Don't play tricks
That's right, he said
commander Huang's troops will fall easily
and once he takes over
he'll make me an officer
Now that you know,
what do you intend to do?
You could report it to chief Zeng
Let's go
Young master, only you and I
know about this now
Right, it's good that boss Pan
makes fast decisions as a real man should
I am much beholden to you
Please
Young master, we need two more people
to succeed in this matter
They are boss Deng and master Zhang
they lead the militia troops
one of them is already on our side
The other might not follow
I'll get rid of him first
Who's on our side and who's against us?
I'll tell you when the time comes
There's one more person...
Yes, chief Zeng
he has been sent by commander Huang
I have made arrangements for this too
"Yu Xiang brothel"
Go over there
Our guest is here
Sir
What is it?
Could you leave for a moment?
Of course not
he has to stand up when a customer arrives
I was right
Hey, this costs quite some money
I have money
Even so
think of those who are starving
do a charitable act
Don't go
Don't go, have a seat
Come
Come in
Boss Deng
It's you
I almost didn't recognise you,
how are you?
Great. Boss Deng
This is my friend Jin Zheng Ping,
also a refugee
we made some money recently
You wish to establish a small business?
No, we'd like you to help get
some provisions for the refugees
You have a kind heart, that's great
It's all yours
It's all here, some more here
Count it
Everything's been arranged
with commander Lin
What about the Zeng fellow?
Don't worry
Fan Zhang Hua has arranged for him to be
at Pan's place
Make it a clean job
I have discussed this with 2nd master
Pan has arranged to disburse
other people. And after
we finish him off
we'll throw his body in the alley
and blame it on the refugees
It's almost time; proceed
Yes
"Yu Xiang brothel"
There are many beautiful girls
2nd Master, so it's you
Well? Want to hit me?
No, I thought it was somebody else
my other friend
Be careful
Yes...
Please
It's best not to bump into other people
As a chief, I am a bit embarrassed
If the girls knew you are the chief
they'll treat you even nicer
We're honoured by your patronage,
this way please
2nd Master...
Good...
Let's go
Girls, please retire to your rooms
we'll call you in due course
Sorry... please...
Please
Thanks...
We have agreed with Pan to
disburse everyone
no one will know what has happened here
It's good no one will disturb us
The girls are in the rooms
just tell us which one you like
Commander Huang has asked me to
maintain order here
I would be promoted from a chief
to an official
At that time...
What if commander Lin
drives away commander Huang?
Chief Zeng, this way please...
Look
The watchman is a refugee
Let him take the blame
Let's go round the alley
leave the body and notify the militia
and blame the refugees for
robbery and murder
Let's go
We did a good deed
It's like having swallowed a rotten egg
I got punched and it still hurts
Who did this?
Forget it, we can't cross master Chen
He can't go around hitting people
That's right
It's my fault that
I mistook him for Yu Han Sheng
That's great
Way to go
That's great
2nd master, you killed chief Zeng
Bullshit, you are the culprits
and killed chief Zeng
They want us to take the blame
Let's go
What's the matter?
Chase them
They killed second master and chief Zeng
This way
This way... quick...
See them?
No
Search again
Anyone this time?
We've looked over everywhere already
Search again
What's wrong with this girl?
Still keen on entertaining the guests!
Damn you
I saw everything
They murdered and
want us to take the blame
But you killed second master
We could only run
Run
But where to?
Go to boss Deng, he is a good person
We're here
and to find him we must go south
and pass the troops led by Zhang Xiang Hu
The Iron Fist troops
Also the Fast Sword unit of boss Pan
The Spear unit of Chen Zu Guang
must be looking for us this very moment
Thanks for saving me twice
I don't know if we can find boss Deng
If we couldn't escape
we should return to this alley before dawn
You could find us there
It's not convenient for us
to carry this stick
please keep it with you
If you return it
it means there's danger
"Chen"
Sir...
Well? Have you failed to
get rid of chief Zeng?
I've got it, we proceeded as planned
and put the blame on the refugees
They have seen through our plot
So what?
They're just refugees, what could they do?
They fought with us and
killed second master
Where's the murderer?
They have gone
Gather everyone and search the whole city
Yes
Second master is dead
Let's go and catch the killer
Right
Let's leave it for the time being though
The refugees couldn't be kung fu masters
There'll be more important things
happening here
and I don't want to
expose our true strength
Don't make a move unless we need you to
Yes
Three of them killed chief Zeng
and my brother
I have already ordered a citywide search
with a huge reward
Kill...
Hurry
Chase
Go...
Go
Go
Halt
Great timing, are you coming quietly
or need we tie you up?
We're innocent
You can tell that to assistant chief
Master Zhang, you can
take all the glory, just arrest me
and let them go
What? Let's fight together
Stop
Master Zhang, I am indebted to you
and don't want to fight with you
but we have not killed chief Zeng
Chen Yao Zong and Fan Zhang Hua killed him
What?
They committed murder and
wanted to dispose of the body
we bumped into them
and they wanted to kill and silence us
we were forced to kill Chen Yao Zong
It's useless talking to him, attack
I'll deal with him, you two escape
Looks like you have a strong bond
and you're serious
Master Zhang, why don't you understand?
Chief Zeng works for chief Huang
Chen Zu Guang intends to side with Lin
Master Zhang, the three of them...
They escaped through there
Chase them
Boss Pan
didn't those three kill chief Zeng?
Master once asked if
I intend to join commander Lin...
It's good you understand. Well, anyway
we put the blame on those three men
Right, boss Pan
If you get them, you'll get the glory
Don't leave anyone alive
Of course, master Zhang...
All the students come back
We dare not to fight with you for glory
Master Zhang,
it's good that you understand
Right, I won't involve you, farewell
What's your plan...
Boss Deng is a good person
We'll go to his place
and then decide what to do
That would still involve boss Deng
Besides, Chen has ordered the militia
to search for you
it's not that easy to go to boss Deng's
Then we must fight our way
Get me two sets of clothing
Yes
Master Zhang
Maybe I should escort you to
boss Deng's and discuss matters
If he is willing to help
we virtually own half of the troops
and Chen Zu Guang wouldn't dare
mess with us
What are you looking at?
Don't you recognise me?
Master Zhang, why are you here?
Have you seen boss Pan?
We just found their trail
Didn't boss Pan catch up with them?
No
The whole city is looking for them,
they can't escape
Okay, we're in boss Deng's territory
Is boss Deng at the tavern?
Yes
"Yun Tong Tavern"
Master Zhang, in this matter
I'm with you all the way
Yes, commander Lin is cruel
If his troops are here
it would be terrible!
Right
Don't worry, stay at my place
Yes...
Wouldn't Chen Zu Guang suspect you?
No
Go quickly
It's too late
Zhang Xiang Hu has led them to the tavern
Boss Deng said...
Bring the troops to the tavern
A wolf in sheep's clothing,
we have been hoodwinked
Let's get out of here
Where to?
The whole matter arose because
chief Zeng got killed
Let's swear allegiance to commander Huang
They are all the same
If we could escape to
the other side of the river
it's the area of
the southern revolutionary troops
Over here
We're late
They can't escape, you two come here
Listen
Boss Pan, you...
Have they gone to boss Deng's?
I don't know...
They think boss Deng would help them
not realising he
has been on our side
You say that Huang fellow is your relative
and you have let him to be a watchman
How is he related to you?
They have escaped from the tavern
and Zhang Xiang Hu is dead
Where do you think they would go?
I think they will come here
Yes, he did say that
If he doesn't come,
you'll need to look for them
When you do,
take them to the gambling house
and say
master Zhang's pupils will gather there
If they don't, then you...
Don't kill me, I'll go
Well?
It's dawn, what should we do?
There's curfew everywhere, we could
mix in with the crowd
Someone's coming
Come with me, quick
Where to?
Doesn't matter, she won't harm us
Master Zhang's pupils
want to meet with you
to discuss the matter
"Tai Lai Gambling House"
You've led us here
Where are master Zhang's pupils?
Inside
It's not my will, open it and you'll see
Jin Zheng Ping, come back
Well?
Got one
And the other two?
I've arranged with Pan Feng
to grab the other two and bring them here
and hang all three as an example
Right, I'll go along and watch out
to prevent someone from sneaking away
Hang this one first and
meet at the gambling house
Yes
What do you want to do?
Sir, please help
I'm also a refugee like him
Give him some water, and show our kindness
He's going to die,
couldn't he be allowed to drink?
A criminal to be beheaded
is also allowed wine
What's the big deal with water?
That's right...
Alright, hurry
Drink up
Drink up
Get lost
Get up
Stop...
How could we save Jin Zheng Ping?
Where could we find him?
We'll join the revolution army
across the south river as arranged
If Jin Zheng Ping could escape
we could find him there
We have no choice
All set?
He got away
What?
But he is also injured
They would have gone to seek help
from commander Huang
You are not their match
Take these men and go west
Take the shortcut to chase them
Right, go
Come back
They might defect
to the revolutionary troops
I'll personally wait there for them
If you can't get them,
meet up at the southern river
Yes
Go
"Si Tong Pier"
Stand still
Don't think you could get away
You know me?
I saw you once, can't say I know you
but I know you are
one of the escaped murderers
Firstly, you don't look like a local;
Locals would know better
than to come to the pier tonight
Secondly, you have wounds on you
and the one caught by Fan Zhang Hua
escaped with wounds
You are the chief of
the Chen Zu Guang militia?
Right, do you think I would let you go?
I've heard your kung fu is good,
I fear you not though
We are here
