Blood of the Dragon (1971) - full transcript

White Dragon must get a list with the names of rebel supporters to Prince Ma Tung, the leader of the rebellion. Trying to stop him in his mission is the evil Prime Minister, who naturally wants the list in order to crush his opposition. Adding another complication is the fact that Ma Tung wants to kill White Dragon in revenge for the humiliation Tung's father suffered in a duel against White Dragon years earlier.

(residents chattering)

- Please have pity,
please have pity.

Pity a poor blind orphan, sir.

A few coins, sir?

Please have pity,
please have pity.

Pity a poor blind orphan,
just a few coins for food.

Coins for an orphan, please?
Please sir, have pity.

- No, no.

(chuckles)

Anything but money, you
know how I am about that.

We can negotiate later.

Bye bye.

- [Man] Master
Zhou, Master Zhou.

- [Boy] Have pity, sir.

A few coins for the
blind beggar. Please sir?

- Damned beggar, get out!

- Uh, uh, have pity, sir.

Be kind to me and
your sons will live.

- Hmm, insult me? How dare you!

Get out of here.

(chuckles)

- You pay me, then I'll stop.

Besides, why do you
want so much money?

You can't take it with you.

- Oh, I'll give it
to you like this!

Whoa!

(boy laughing)

I'll kill you! You little, you!

Ah!

(man groaning)

Where?

(man groaning)

Where is he? I'll kill him.

Where?

Wait, where did he go?

Did anyone see him?

Where did that fellow go?

Where is he?

I'll pay a reward, where is he?

Oh, if I catch him.
My back, my back.

Wait!

- I'm blind! Help!

I'm blind, I can't see anything!

- Go inside, look.

I have money for you.

- Huh, money?

- Please, it's very important.

Take this to young
prince of Peiping Palace.

His name, Ma Tang.

You got that? Ma Tang.

Please.

This is my dying wish.

Deliver this, deliver
this to the young prince.

- Ni Chiu.

- Miss Yen, Miss
Yen, look, money!

- Ni Chiu, I told you to behave.
Did you steal that money?

- [Man] The money.

- No, honest.

This man in the alley,
he gave it to me,

and then, then he
fell over dead.

- Ni Chiu, you're fibbing again.

- [Man] It's already done.

- It's the truth, I'm not
lying to you, believe me,

and he gave me a bamboo too.

- [Kang Fu] Bamboo too?

- [Man] I'm coming!
I'm coming, all right?

- Come on in, what can I do
to help you? Can I get you--

(Miss Yen gasps)
- Look out.

- Come in, come in, sir.

- [Kang Fu] Move.

- [Man] My goodness, me.

- Give me that tube!

- What's going on here?
- Sir, please, please.

- [Miss Yen] What are you
doing? Stop him, get away!

- [Man] Just wait,
just a moment.

(glasses shattering)

(people chatting)

- Stop it.
- Come on.

- [Man] Just stop it.

(gasps)

- Hey, are you crazy?

Picking on women and
children like this.

- I won't give it to you.

(people chatting)

- [Kang Fu] Come on.

- Ni Chiu, Ni Chiu!

(Ni Chiu panting)

(Ni Chiu shouting)

- [Miss Yen] Let
him go, let him go!

- Where do you think you're
going, you little brat?

- Boy.

You leave him alone!
(Kang Fu laughing)

(Kang Fu grunts)

- [Kang Fu] Mind
your own business!

(Miss Yen shouts)
(Kang Fu laughing)

- Miss Yen! You're
so pretty, Miss Yen.

(shouts)

(gasps)

All right, I'll give it to you,

but you have to stop
hurting Miss Yen!

(suspenseful music)

Miss Yen, are you all right?

- [Miss Yen] You two
are really brave.

- [Kang Fu] Come on, let's go.

- [Man] You, give it back.

(dramatic music)

- Who are you?

- Nevermind, just give it
back. Return what you took.

- What? Not on your life!

(spits)

(shouts)

(Ni Chiu laughing)

What's your name?

- I said give it back.

- Because you say so, meddler?

(chain rattling)

(Kang Fu grunts)

(Kang Fu grunts)

Not too bad. What is your name?

- I know you. You're the
Premier's guard, Fidri Kang Fu.

- That's my name.

(spits)

- Traitor!

Or do you two cowards
wanna keep this up?

(suspenseful music)

- Where's my money?

- Give it, give it.

(groans)

(dramatic music)

(weapon clatters)

- Ha, well, well. If it isn't
the little blind beggar.

- I fooled you. You
gave me 20 coins once.

- Those two are the worst dogs

in the Prime Minister's Guard.

Why did they take this from you?

- It doesn't belong to me.

I got it from a man
behind the teahouse,

just before he died.

He told me to take it some
man in the palace for him.

- It's your duty then
to carry out his wish.

Take it.

- Uh, Mr. Lung?

Wait just a moment, please.

What do you think could
be in that bamboo tube

that so many people are after?

And how will Ni
Chiu handle them?

- Well, maybe I can't
fight, but I can run fast.

- Is that so?

Well, you didn't do
too well just now.

- Well, anyway, you are lucky
I was there to protect you.

- Who is that tube for anyway?

- For a young prince
whose name is Ma Tang.

- Okay, come on. I'll go
to the palace with you.

- I'll be right back, don't
worry about us, Miss Yen!

(bright instrumental music)

(Miss Yen laughs)

- I'm not worried now.

- You were really good, two
against one, you still beat 'em!

Will you be my teacher?

Will you take me as your pupil?

- A man in my business
gets into a lot of trouble.

- [Ni Chiu] It sure beats
gettin' pushed around.

(water splashing)

It's so hot, I don't
feel like going.

- What's that?

(Ni Chiu chuckles)

- [Ni Chiu] I was only joking.

- Ni Chiu, now you listen to me.

When you take on a job,
you must finish it.

- I know a proverb.

Accept no task unless...

Hm, I can't remember the rest.

(laughs)

- You're equal to the burden.

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're a real knight.

(sighs)

- I am no knight.

- [Ni Chiu] What do you think

could be inside the tube?

It's so light, it couldn't
be worth very much.

- Oh, really?

We know at least one man
who has died for this.

Come on, jump up.

Ni Chiu.

- Huh?

- Did he say where in the
palace this young man lives?

- No, just a palace.

(suspenseful music)

- [Man] Your Highness?

- Your Highness, we
waited outside the town,

but Brother Yang
never got there.

- We saw Kang Fu
and one other guard.

They both looked injured,
like they ran into trouble.

- Ah, Fidri Kang Fu in town?

- We followed them through town.

They're staying at the Inn
of the Flaming Serpent.

- There are many Mongols there.

I am sure I saw the deserter
they call the Gold Leopard,

and I also saw the Prime
Minister Sing Pa Tou.

- You had it. Had you lost it?

The Emperor ordered us to
get the list of the names

and the meeting places
of the Young Rebels,

and now you tell me some
little boy stole it from you?

- Not a little boy,
it was a warrior.

Look!

- So.

Who did that to you?

- I never saw him before.

He uses a spear.

He's very fast and he's very
good, that's all I know.

- Could it be the man who is
known as the White Dragon?

He is a lone wolf
with many enemies.

His name is Lung Ti.

- That's him, it was
the White Dragon!

- Where is he now?

- He's at a teahouse. It's
about five miles from here.

- Gold Leopard?

- [Gold Leopard] Yes, sir.

- Take some men to the inn and
keep this White Dragon busy.

I'll be along later
to teach him a lesson.

- [Gold Leopard] Yes, sir.

- Is it true?

General Tai is coming?

- Hmm, Tai is the greatest
swordsman in the Emperor's army.

He will take on only the
most important missions.

(dramatic synth music)

- Sir, ah!

- Take him, get him out
of town and kill him.

(man whimpering)

- No, no, no!

No, oh, oh, spare me!
Spare me, spare me!

- Prime Minister.

- What's happening in town?

- Prime Minister, the men

at the Palace of Ma
Tang seem very upset.

There has been a great
deal of activity there,

and everyone seems concerned

because Yang has
not yet arrived.

- Ma Tang, is the
rebel leader Ma Tang?

- What is it?

- A boy and a man
are here to see you.

- Why are you here?

- Are you the Chinese prince?

Ma Tang?

- Ha, Lung Ti, so it's you.
What do you want of me?

- You recognize me?

- Why shouldn't I when
you murdered my father?

- I can't remember all
the men I have killed.

I am sorry.

- Hmm, is that so? Maybe
you'll remember this!

(dramatic music)

(weapons clanging)

(weapons clanging)

- You're Ma Chin's son.

- So now you remember.

My father died of shame

after you defeated
and laughed at him,

and you didn't even know
he was dead till now!

(sighs)

- When you live the kind of
life I lead, you try to forget.

- I haven't, I remember.
Now you'll never forget it!

- Hold it, hold it. I
didn't come to fight.

(weapons whooshing)

(men grunting)

(shouting)

- Stop fighting, stop fighting!

We came to deliver something.

(weapons clanging)
(men grunting)

- Young Master, Young Master!

(Lung Ti shouting)

Hold back.

- Mr. Lung?

- Let's go.

(shouts)

(weapons clanging)

(men groaning)

(wood clattering)

(dramatic music)

(light piano music)

- Ha, Lung Ti, you're no
match for my magic sword.

- Ha, treacherous weapons
do not make brave men.

(sword clattering)

- Hmm, you're clever with
words. I'll still kill you.

- I may have dueled
with your father,

but I did not kill him.

- Hmm, pleading won't
help you now, fool!

- Hm.

Ni Chiu.

- [Ni Chiu] Huh?

- Does it sound
like I'm pleading?

- Never, you'd never
plead, Master Lung.

(laughing)

(spear whooshing)
(Lung Ti grunts)

(men grunting)

(heart beating)

Blood, you're bleeding!

- Ni Chiu, hop up,
get on my back.

- Don't worry about me,
I can run fast enough.

- You don't understand.

Get up there, press my
wound to stop the blood.

- I.

I.

- Hurry! Hop up
on my back, quick!

(Ni Chiu groaning)

(shouting)

(weapons clanging)
(men grunting)

(dramatic music)

(men shouting)

(Lung Ti shouts)

(spear whooshing)

(Lung Ti shouts)

- Huh, he got away.

Now that he knows
my sword's secret,

I'll have a hard
time killing him.

- Young Master, we have
such dangerous business.

You must forget your
own personal vengeance.

- I.

(horse galloping)

- Chief, Young Master.

- We'll talk inside.

- [Man] Right.

- Bar the door.

(door creaks)

And Brother Yang?

- He died in Peiping,

and Mrs. Yang was murdered
on the way here too.

- And what happened
to the bamboo tube?

- It wasn't on the bodies.

- I, the Emperor's
men could have it now.

(water splashing)

- Still bleeding?

- It's much better now.

Mr. Lung, are you gonna die?

- Ha, I don't have
time to die right now.

(bamboo clattering)

- Ma Tang can't have this,

not after he stabbed
you in the back.

(Ni Chiu shouts)

Mr. Lung, you?

- Ni Chiu, I'm sorry.

You know, I've never
apologized before

to anyone, for anything.

I guess I never
really wanted to.

I've been too proud.

- Why? Why did you push me?

- Because I, I,

because I want Ma Tang
to have this list.

- After what he did to
you? He's a horrible man!

I wanna stab him in the back.

- You're wrong,
he's a true patriot.

- A patriot?

- Yes.

For years, the Mongols have
been tyrannizing our country,

taking our lands and treating
us like their slaves.

But now the people
have had enough,

now they are going
to fight back.

- Ma Tang hasn't
fought any battles.

- His job is even
more dangerous.

He is the leader of
those who are protesting.

His name is on the
top of this list.

The Emperor wants to get
this list very badly.

Many good men have died
protecting these names.

Ma Tang is risking
his life every day.

- You don't mean that.

You're acting like Ma Tang
is a good friend of yours.

- Ni Chiu, now you listen to me!

You don't want to be a
beggar all your life.

You have a duty to
perform for your country.

You agreed to deliver
this list to the palace.

Is that burden too
great for the task?

- But you could beat him.

- Well, now I know the
secret of his magic sword.

Besides, I could
take 50 men like him.

- [Ni Chiu] Then?

- He's risking his
life for his country.

Now, what's a small
wound compared to that?

Ow.

(Lung Ti groaning)

(Lung Ti breathing heavily)

Ni Chiu, where can we
go to get a little rest?

- Yeah, Miss Yen's
teahouse. We can go there.

- Let me. Here, let
me pour for you.

There you go.

Thank you, thank you!

(wood clatters)

- All of you get
out, I'm taking over!

- Go, get out!
(people shouting)

- Hi there, why don't you
and I go into the backroom?

(men laughing)

- What do you want?

- Huh? We are tracking down
traitors to the Emperor.

(crowd chattering)

- Wait. Hold it,
hold it, hold it.

You haven't paid your bill yet!

No, hold it, hold it!

Oh, oh!

- Since when is
selling wine a crime?

- Don't get smart with
me. Just keep your place.

We're waiting here.

- [Miss Yen] All right,
go ahead and wait.

- Oh no!

Ah, ah, ah.

- What are you doing?

- Oh, just standing here,

waiting for you to
keep me company, huh?

- I'll stay here if you don't
mind losing all your teeth.

- You smart aleck, you'd
better watch your lip!

(vases clattering)

- Oh, Miss Yen, Miss Yen!

- No!
- Oh!

(men laughing)

(laughing)

(vase shatters)

- Stop.

Be quiet, you want to scare
the White Dragon out of here?

And you, you sit
down and stay put.

- Li, you're not needed here,

so you go home and
get some sleep.

- Miss Yen, Miss Yen, you.

- Li, go on. I'll
be all right here.

Don't worry about me.

- Okay.

Miss Yen.

I'll be off now.

- Get out!

- Oh no!

- Well, go out and look around.

See if Lung is coming.

(twinkling music)

- Young Master, we
just saw Pa Tou.

The Prime Minister hurried away

from the Inn of the
Flaming Serpent.

- Huh, which way did he go?

- We followed them
to the edge of town.

I heard him mention
the White Dragon.

- Master, I recognized
the beggar boy

who was with the White Dragon.

He lives with Miss Yen at the
teahouse just outside of town.

- Hmm, Lung Ti is not political.

Normally, he would not
get involved in this.

The boy said they had
something to deliver.

Could it be they have the list?

It is possible, huh?

- Look, if they had the tube,
we'd be arrested by now.

I'm gonna follow the Prime
Minister and Kang Fu.

- Yeah, prepare mounts!

(horses galloping)
(riding bells jingling)

(men shouting)

(horses whinnying)

- [Pa Tou] Ah, it's Tai.
What is your mission here?

- General Tai, the
Emperor ordered me

to kill everyone
on the rebel list,

and I intend to do so
before I leave here.

No one will be left alive.

Pa Tou, did you get it?

- Uh, not yet.

- [Kang Fu] What's that?

- Hmm?

- Sir, we took it from
Yang, but then Lung Ti,

the White Dragon, stepped
in and took it away from us.

- What?

- He not only grabbed the list,

look what he did to my hand!

- Come here.

- [Kang Fu] Sir?

General?

(Tai shouts)

- You idiot, where is
the White Dragon now?

- He's at a teahouse a
few miles from Peiping.

- Who was Yang taking
the list to in Peiping?

- [Tai] We believe the
leader of the rebels

is the young prince, Ma Tang.

- Hmm, he's the son of Chin Sha,

the man with the magic sword.

Years ago, Chin Sha lost a
duel with the White Dragon

and killed himself out of shame.

Lung Ti and Ma Tang
must be enemies now.

- Interesting. Lung Ti and
Ma Tang may kill each other.

- Hmm, quite so.

Lung Ti the White Dragon leaves
enemies wherever he goes.

I'll go after Ma Tang first,
then get rid of Lung Ti.

That will end this rebellion.

(horses galloping)
(riding bells jingling)

(horse galloping)

- [Ni Chiu] Hey, why stop here?

- [Lung Ti] This
is where we fought

the Emperor's
guards this morning.

They may be waiting again.

(suspenseful music)

(horse galloping)

- [Kang Fu] Hey, look!
There's a horse over there.

- [Pa Tou] Hmm,
we've got company.

- [Tai] Let's go.

(weapons scraping)

(men shouting)

(weapons clanging)

(spear whooshing)

(spear whooshing)

(dramatic music)
(Lung Ti breathing heavily)

- Roast in hell!

(suspenseful music)

- Hi, Miss Yen.

I'm glad it's so quiet here.

Master Lung

thought there'd be soldiers.
- Hush!

Hush.

- You, you're the beggar.

- No, no, no, I'm not.

- Go.

- [Ni Chiu] Quit it!

- Let him go! Stop
picking on him, bully!

- Be quiet. You keep out
of this or I'll kill him.

All right, where
can I find Lung?

(groaning)

- I don't know, I
don't even know him.

(groaning)

- Let him go!

Please let

him go, ah!
- Go away.

- Miss Yen!

Lung Ti wasn't even with me!

- Listen here, I just
wanna talk to him.

Why is he hiding from me?

What is he, a coward?

- [Lung Ti] Who says I'm hiding?

(dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

(ceramic clattering)

(dishes clattering)

(spear whooshing)

(gasps)

- Guards, come in here!

- Forget it, they can't
help you. They're all dead.

(spear whooshing)
(men grunting)

(dishes clattering)

(Gold Leopard groaning)

(spear whooshing)

(dramatic music)

(horses galloping)
(riding bells jingling)

- [Gold Leopard] Master Fu!

- [Pa Tou] Well?

(horse whinnies)

- [Gold Leopard] The White
Dragon is inside there.

- You haven't killed him?

- I, I'm just not his match.

He's already killed the men

that were with me,
Prime Minister.

- Ha, I'm not afraid of him!

- [Gold Leopard] Prime
Minister, Prime Minister!

- [Pa Tou] Lung Ti,
come on out of here!

Come out, Lung Ti!
(knocking on door)

Lung Ti, you hear
me? Come out here!

(Lung Ti groaning)

Lung Ti.

You yellow dog, come out!
- Ni Chiu.

Get my spear.

- [Pa Tou] White
Dragon, come out!

Come out if you dare!

(groaning)

(knocking on door)
Lung Ti, get out here!

- I'm right here,
come on in, bastard!

- You're hurt.
You can break out.

There's no one at the backdoor.

You can get away easily now.

- I can't run. Facing
trouble is the best way.

There's no backing off for me.

Those men must be stopped.

- Lung, get out here!
(knocking on door)

- Ni Chiu, open the door.

Miss Yen, bring me wine.

(knocking on door)

(ceramic shatters)

(weapons clanging)

(men shouting)

(dishes shatter)

- [Pa Tou] Am I hurt
badly? How bad is it?

(Lung Ti breathing heavily)

- If it weren't for my
wound, they'd all be dead.

- [Pa Tou] Am I hurt
badly? Is it a bad wound?

- [Kang Fu] Not bad,
it's only superficial.

(Pa Tou coughing)

- [Pa Tou] Damn it.

(Pa Tou groans)

I underestimated him.

- Look, Pa Tou, only
Tai can handle him.

- It's strange, why
does he stay inside?

Something's funny.
I'll go check the roof.

- Hey, be careful!

(suspenseful music)

(exhales)

- Wine.

(wind howling)

- [Pa Tou] Dead.

Well, that settles that.

We'd better wait here for Tai.

- [Kang Fu] What if
he comes outside?

- Look here, none
of us is his match.

I'll go around to the back.

At least I can keep
him from getting away.

- I wonder what's the
matter. Where's General Tai?

(horses galloping)
(riding bells jingling)

(lively rock music)

- Master Lung, you
can't go on like this.

Let me get a doctor.

- It's no good,
you can't get out.

- If I don't do something,
then you may die.

- Miss Yen?

I'll go!

- Don't be stupid.

- Master Lung, let Ni Chiu go.

He's very clever, and in the
darkness, he can slip by them.

You will die without a doctor.

This is his chance
to help you, hmm?

- You were right, I have a task.

I don't want to be a
beggar all my life.

This is the burden
that I can carry.

- Where do you think
you're going, huh?

(laughs)

- Huh?

Oh, it's you. What happened?

Did you grow your
finger back already?

- Hmm, if you mention
my finger again,

I'll hold you up by your
hair and cut off all yours.

You hear me?

- [Ni Chiu] Okay, I
won't say another thing.

- [Kang Fu] Hey,
where are you going?

- To see Master Lung.

- Oh, he's not inside there?

- Uh, uh, he went into town.

- [Kang Fu] Oh, town?

Hey, hold it!

You're just a little too tricky,

and you're also full of
lies too, you little son--

- Give me 20 crowns of silver

and I'll steal the bamboo
tube for you tonight.

- If you can get it for
me, you've got a deal.

- [Ni Chiu] Okay,
but I know the place,

so you'd better let
me lead the way.

(suspenseful music)

- [Kang Fu] Hey, why are we
taking so long to get there?

- [Ni Chiu] Just be patient.

- When we get there, you go
inside and get the tube for me,

and no tricks, I'll
be right outside.

- Sure.

- I'll pay you when
you deliver the tube.

Just remember, if you
do anything stupid,

you'll be very sorry.

(horse galloping)

- Ma Tang?

(Ni Chiu screaming)

(weapons whooshing)

(men grunting)

(metal clanging)

(weapons whooshing)

(gasps)

(weapons whooshing)

(fire crackling)

(weapon whooshing)

(Kang Fu groaning)

- Come on out. It's
all right, he's dead.

- It's, it's okay.
I'm not afraid.

- You're the beggar boy
with Lung. Where is he now?

- He's wounded. You
stabbed him in the back.

I came to get a doctor for him.

- Hmm, just as well if he dies.

- You coward, you coward!
You stabbed him in the back!

(Ni Chiu whimpering)

I really was trying to
take you for a hero,

and so was he, you dog!

- What's that? Lung Ti
thinks that I'm a hero?

- He told me it was my duty
to deliver something to you,

and when we got there, you
stabbed him in the back!

- Look here, what
did you bring me?

- A bamboo tube, a
dying man gave it to me,

in the alley down there.

- Tell me, where's
the bamboo tube now?

- Master Lung has it.

He read the list and
said it's very important,

and admired you for
being a true patriot.

Now let me go! He
needs some medicine.

- Don't bother, I'll help.

I have some medicine that
will take care of his wound.

- I don't believe you.
You'll just hurt him again!

- Don't worry, so I was wrong.
Can't a man make a mistake?

- Will your medicine
really work?

- The medicine I
have will never fail.

- Let's hurry then!

- Damn it.
(wind howling)

If he won't come
out, burn him out!

Go on!

- Pa Tou, the Emperor
ordered us to get the list.

If we burn the house down, then.

(Pa Tou sighs)

- [Pa Tou] Get me more men.

Get the best that we have.

Go on, quick!

- [Man] Sir.

(horse galloping)

(riding bells jingling)

(horse whinnies distantly)

(soothing instrumental music)

(water splashing)

(horse whinnies distantly)

- Lung, please go.

(wind howling)

- There.

Let's go in.

Miss Yen!

- [Miss Yen] Ni Chiu.

(dramatic music)

(horses galloping distantly)

(horse whinnies distantly)

(horse whinnies distantly)

- You came to bring
medicine. Show it to him.

- I'll be proud to if
Master Lung will accept it.

(horse whinnies distantly)

- Come.

- Get me a basin of water.

(Ni Chiu gasps)
(fabric tearing)

(Lung Ti groaning)

(horses galloping)

(riding bells jingling)

- Now listen to me.

Anyone who leaves this
house must be killed,

and I mean anyone.

You hear?

(men shouting)

Fine, now once
General Tai arrives,

we'll go in and get all of them.

(men shouting)

(horses whinnying)

- [Man] Open the door!

(men shouting)

- I know why they're
waiting. Tai is coming.

- Who?

- General Tai.

- The Red Wolf?

- General Tai and my father
were once very close friends.

Then Tai deserted
to the Mongols,

and my father rejected him.

Last night, I saw the
Red Wolf near here

on the main road into Peiping.

- Tai is their best man.

- He'll set out
to kill me first.

Then he'll try to kill you
too. He wants that list.

Ah, he'll kill us all
and stop the revolt.

You must watch out for all
of Tai's treacherous weapons.

The sword that becomes
a whip and spurs,

which he throws with deadly aim.

- So, I haven't
lost too much blood.

I think that I can take him.

- Lung, well, I.

- What is past is past.

You wanted to redeem the name
of your courageous father.

That was an honorable
thing for you to do.

So now, forget it.

- I'm so ashamed.

- It's forgotten.

- I'll go take them
on, before Tai arrives.

- It's no use.

All your plans are doomed,
as long as General Tai lives.

- It's dawn.

Such a long night.

(horses galloping)
(riding bells jingling)

- [Man] Open the door!

(men shouting)

- There are more men,

and the one riding
in front is dressed

in a bright red cloak.

(horses whinnying)

- Ma Tang, I'm going to give
your list of names to Miss Yen.

- To me?

- They're after us.

They won't suspect you.

When I take on General Tai,

you can get out with
Ni Chiu and Miss Yen.

Go back to the palace.

- No, I won't!

I can't leave you
here by yourself, I'm-

- Look, you've got
to be sensible.

Your own life has
little meaning now.

But if they should get their
hands on this list of yours,

then all your friends
will be killed by Tai.

(horse whinnies distantly)

(horses galloping distantly)

- Miss Yen!

- A man must do what he must do.

(suspenseful music)

(men shouting)

- [Man] Fight, fight!

- [Man] Come out, let's fight!

- [Man] Fight!

- [Man] Fight!

(dramatic music)

- Red Wolf, he's wounded.

(chuckles)

- White Dragon,
I've never known you

to meddle before in your life.

Why start now?

- Heh.

I'm not meddling.

It's just too good
a fight to pass up.

- Ha. You're hurt, you
haven't got a chance.

- Hm.

Well, you'll have to get
me before you get this.

(dramatic music)

(men groaning)

(spear whooshing)

(weapons clanging)
(men shouting)

(men grunting)

(spear whooshing)

- I'm staying here
with Master Lung.

- [Ma Tang] Ni Chiu!

- I'll stay too.

If we did go, we'd be,
why, we'd just be a burden.

- Then I.

- Go quickly.

- If I had any choice,

I'd rather stay behind
and die with him.

- Die?

(dramatic music)

(weapons clanging)

(spear whooshing)

- Hm.

(men shouting)

(metal clanging)

(spear whooshing)

- My father.

(spear whooshing)

(suspenseful music)

(laughing evilly)

- Lung Ti, you are badly hurt.

Why don't you quit now

and I can give you
a chance to live?

If you turn over
the list to me now,

I can offer you
anything you want.

Ease and luxury for
the rest of your life.

(spits)

- I would rather die on my feet

than live the life
of a Mongol whore!

- Huh.

You fool! I gave you a way out.

Now we'll put an end to
your meddling forever!

(men shouting)
(spear whooshing)

(weapons clanging)

(Lung Ti groaning)

(Lung Ti breathing heavily)

- All right, your men
are all dead now, Tai.

(Tai laughs)

- Good, then I can have the
pleasure of killing you myself.

(Tai shouting)

- Huh?

(Lung Ti shouts)

(Lung Ti groaning)

(Miss Yen gasping)

- Master Lung, Master Lung!

Master Lung!

Master Lung!

Master Lung!

- You can rest.

You have carried
your burden well.
