Jin yi wei (1984) - full transcript
The late Ming Dynasty is the time period when the influence and power of the court Eunuchs are at their peak. One in particular is Wang Zhen (Lau Wing), a vicious martial arts master who has distracted the weak-minded young Emperor with an endless supply of concubines to sate his passions, while plotting to seize power for himself. Loyal to the Emperor is Zhao Wiyi (Guk Fung), captain of an elite force of swordsmen known as the Brocade Guards (AKA the Imperial Court's "Secret Service"). Their task is to squelch rebellion, hunt down traitors, and uphold justice. No one believes in this more firmly than Wiyi's son and the Guard's first sergeant Zhao Bufu (Leung Kar-yan). After the disinterested Emperor appoints Wang Zhen as his chief administrator in charge of all affairs, Wang orders the Brocade to hunt down three heroic loyalists who oppose the Eunuch. Reluctantly, Wiyi orders his son to carry out this order, but Bufu ultimately rebels. Wiyi is forced to order the death of his own son and Bufu must confront the entire Brocade Guard as he makes his escape with his wife and child. Wang Zhen's influence is far-reaching and leads to calamity for Bufu's family and clan. Stripped of nearly everything he holds dear, Bufu vows to kill Wang Zhen or die trying
and spy system of
the Ming Dynasty emperors
specializing in arresting rebels,
and major outlaws
This guard was under
emperor`s direct control
During the regime of Emperor Ying Zhong,
because of his own incompetence,
the eunuch Wang Zhen wielded the power
and used the Brocade guard
to kill his opposition
and also against the righteous people
The guard`s missions were confidential
The members were strictly chosen
and given inhuman training
Sir
Arise
Fall in
Listen
These are the ruthless bandits
insane rapists
and rebels
All of them
deserve the harshest punishment
Go and kill them
for the sake of justice
No!
Zhao Buqun, let it start from you
No...No!
Zhao, you spare him
It shows that you`re not fierce enough
and not qualified for the Brocade Guard
Dealing with them, you can`t be kind
Kill now
Zhao, this is an order. No hesitation
Kill
Okay
Everyone kills now
The fire is burning and there`s bloodshed
Cudgel penalty
Whip penalty
Burn penalty
Cut penalty
Given these most cruelest penalties
weren`t the convicts
but the new members of the guard
Whoever couldn`t bear it would be fired
This brutal training
was to train the Brocade Guard
to be as a fearless,
ruthless
and merciless team
Zhao Buqun
Yes
Your dad broke the law.
Will you kill him?
Answer now
I won`t spare you even when l`m dead
Answer my question now
T oo cruel...
Zhao Buqun
Answer me now
Will you kill him?
No
Push him out and execute him
Yes
Wait
Sir, a request to give him a chance
Shut up
The rule here is, ` no mercy `
He`s not qualified as the guard
I couldn`t spare him...
because he`s my son
If you made mistake in the future,
I`ll kill you too
Push him out and execute him
Yes
When all the penalties were over
a red, burning metal
would be put on every passed trainee
The words Brocade Guard would stay forever
From this time
they embark on their murder task
Sir
Excellent
You`re the chosen elite
from thousands of people
You`re going to carry on...
the holy mission of justice
for the country and people
Yes
I just have a secret imperial order
The border guards Shi Hen, Li Zhuomin
had conspiracy with foreigners,
betraying our country and were fleeing now
What should we do with them?
Kill
Good
Guard leader Zhao Bufa
Yes
You lead a team to arrest the betrayers
I want them dead or alive
Yes
The Brocade Guard?
Shi Hen, you`ve conspired with foreigners
Kneel down and be arrested
Come on. Seize me if you can
Hack that guy`s head off for me
Yes
Captain
Zhao Bufa
The West gate is in danger.
Please give orders
Okay. Go now
Captain
Got him?
I heard he had killed himself
His funeral is being held now
Where?
Over the street
Stay
Sir, my dad had killed himself
Please show mercy
and let us bury him
Open the coffin and inspect the body
Open them
Captain, it`s jewel
Do it
No one can leave
Kill
All step aside
Yes
Sir, please be merciful
Don`t kill my dad. Please...
Lead all of them away
Yes
No matter how hard one tries
you can`t get rid of the blood debt
I just don`t wish my son
to see the bloodspots on me
But you just let someone`s children
see blood all over their father
Well, this is their misfortune
Their father was an indecent man
If I didn`t kill him,
there`d be more children
seeing their fathers killed
As what you said,
you ruined and separated a family
It`s to uphold justice for the heaven
My blade kills only the miscreants
You`re sure
you didn`t kill a good man!
I didn`t
Wang Zhen is a jerk
using women to baffle the emperor
Hasn`t attended a council meeting
for 2 months
The country is going to fall
Li, Wang`s guys are all over the council
Be careful. Your words will be heard
Wang, we`re the gov`t officers
I can`t help seeing him corrupted by women
Right...
Incompetent, irresponsible!
How can he be the emperor?
It`s all because of Wang Zhen
Guarding the border we were invincible
But this eunuch is just ruining the gov`t
It makes me very angry
Eunuch Wang is here
How dare you!
Kneel when you see eunuch Wang
Chao Jiexiang, stop acting ignorant here
We`re the border captains
Why should we kneel down?
Yu Hualong
The army is in your control
But l`ll make you regret it someday
Wang Zhen
I`ll also let you know that...
By fooling the emperor,
you can`t do whatever you want
Great. If there`re some righteous people
Iike Yu in the gov`t,
the country will be in peace
Old fool,
l`ll kill you if you don`t shut up
Stabilizing the state
is the work of a loyal officer
Kill me? You can`t scare me
You ain`t afraid to die;
how about your family?
No
Jiexiang
Yes
Arrest Li`s entire family
and his students
Slit them all from their mouth to ear
Yes
Whoever offers more money
will take Li`s position
Emperor
Emperor
Eunuch Wang
Did you have a good time?
Yes
Is there anything new?
I`ve just prepared two new items for you
Emperor
True beauty
You know what I like
You`re really loyal to me
Thank you
As long as you like them
please enjoy to your heart`s content
All of you may leave
Yes
Emperor
When I came in
the officers outside the door are talking
about your absence in the meeting
Affairs of State is a headache to me
There`s a lot of fun here
You`re right
An emperor should exercise his own power
If the officers
could interfere his privacy...
would he have any dignity?
Right. You understand me
Give me an idea
You don`t like handling state business
Why don`t you have someone to do it?
It`ll be okay
Good idea. Then you`re the one
Getting to work for emperor,
l`ll do my utmost
But if you don`t deliver
an imperial decree
no one would listen to me
Well, l`ll deliver a decree tomorrow to...
grant you the title, ` 9 Thousand Years`
and handle the affairs on my behalf
Thank you
Let`s go back to the palace
Thanks for your hard work
I will do my best
Jiexiang
Lord, what can I do for you?
Deliver a decree for me, stating to remove
the army control of Yu, Xue and Gao
Yes
-Morning...
-Morning
Sir, why are you so early?
Good morning. Uncle Chen
Thank you
Uncle Chen
Are you alright?
Nothing. Just a sprain in the back
Be careful. Sit down please
Thank you
I`ll take the things back
Mr. Zhao, please don`t
You`ll make you hands dirty
It doesn`t matter
I can wash my hands
What a good man!
Thank you
Where`re you going? I`ll carry for you
No, thanks. I`ll do it myself
Then take care of yourself
-Goodbye
-Thanks
Let`s eat
Dingdong, take a guess!
Dad
You sure are smart!
Come on out
Dingdong, kiss your dad
Good boy
Where`s mom?
Up there
Bufa, you`re back
Yes
Give my son back
I want to play with little rabbit
Why so nervous?
Look. His face is dirty
Uncle Chen fell at the doorway
I helped to collect the coal
You don`t like me minding other`s business
I admire this attitude
or I won`t marry you
Look, it can`t be wiped away
You do it yourself
Yes, my dearest wife
Good boy. I clean for you
Really good
Dad, why`re you always carrying the blade?
T o slay people
No, to do away with bad guys
I told you not to talk about killing
in front of the kid, but you don`t listen
I don`t wish my son would do the same
when he grows up
I`m sorry
Wang Zhen is going too far
When I met him at Huanglin Gate
he begged Shi and I for money
to help him to serve the prince
Go on
He promised he`d share the returns with us
When the prince succeeded the throne
he got scared that
we`d share his dirty money
and uncover his dirt ;
Therefore he delivered
a false decree to ruin us
I take direct orders from the emperor
It it`s true, l`ve nothing to fear
Captain Zhao, don`t take it too easy
Wang has been controlling the emperor
He almost killed all righteous officers
I think the empire will become his
You`re just the captain of Brocade Guards
You could do nothing about him
Captain, Eunuch Wang wants to see you
Eunuch Wang
Zhao Wuji welcomes Eunuch Wang
Captain Zhao
Yes
I knew you had killed betrayer Shi Hen
and arrested Li Zhouwen alive, right?
Yes, I had
Did you put him to trial?
I did
What did he say?
He...
Zhao Wuji
Yes
Answer the question
He said...
Said what?
He said you were equally involved
in the deed
but disputed over the sharing of reward
delivered false decree and set them up
Do you believe it?
I didn`t rush to a conclusion
Good
You know what should be done. C`mon, rise
Thank you
Betrayers like Li
just killed them for good
But I need the Emperor`s decree
to sentence him to death
I dare to do it without the decree
The decree is here
Listen, Zhao
Long live the Emperor!
Eunuch Wang has been conferred upon
with the title
of 9 thousands Years
for assisting the Emperor
All the affairs of State
will be handled by him
May the emperor live forever
Captain Zhao, you may kill Li then
The names on this list...
are all against the emperor. Kill them
Xue Xuan, Gao Xiang, Yu Hualong?
Nine Thousands Years...
they`re the righteous officers
what wrong did they do?
They quietly wrote reports
to the emperor impeaching me
They just wanted to create chaos
Should they be killed?
Yes
Captain Chao
How many people are there in your clan?
About 900
Well, quite a big clan, huh!
Zhao, keep on your good work
You`ll be rewarded someday
If you do anything wrong,
900 people will be ruined because of you
Zhao, finish this job for me
The jewels in Li`s coffin will be yours
No, it`s all right
I`m just doing my work
By no means I can accept it
It`s up to you
Jiexiang
Yes
It`s yours now
Thank you. Sir
Zhao Bufa
Kneel down to Nine Thousands Years
Captain, we take orders from the emperor
Why should we kneel down?
Shut up. This is an order. Down
Who`s he?
He`s my son, Zhao Bufa
He`s a sergeant of the guard
He arrested Shi and Li
Captain
Shut up
This is the emperor`s order. Do it
Yes
Xue Xuan, no way to run
Come on
Yu, you`ve nowhere to escape. Come out
Meng Jiang Hong
Didn`t think you had a keen sense of smell
Show your skills if you want to kill me
Good skills. Take the head
What? Why don`t you do it?
If people remembered me like Yue Fa
I`ll die without regret. Come on
Yu Hualong
I kill whoever deserves to die
But you don`t
What the hell did you do?
The Emperor wishes to have you dead
How was Song Gao Zhong cheated by Qin Hui?
T o order Yue Fa`s return to the capital
and kill him without reason
Haven`t you heard of it?
Of course I know
What are you waiting for?
I want the truth
Yu, for the time being l`ll take your word
If I find that you lie to me
I`ll kill you right away
Captain
I`ve killed the betrayer Yu Hualong
Well done
Captain, you seem bothered
I`m fine
Whenever I complete my assignment
you`ll appreciate it with joy
But this time you look like troubled
I`m just feeling sad
Yu Qian was a good general
protecting the Ming border
But his son just ended up like this
Captain, as what you said,
I shouldn`t have killed him
Nonsense!
I didn`t mean it
You`ve many questions this time
Captain, one more
All four of you may leave
Yes
You too
Yes
What do you want to ask?
Captain
Who could have wanted Yu dead?
Why are you asking this?
It was the Emperor`s idea
The emperor`s?
I don`t think so. His dad was a patriot
He`s a son of a hero
The emperor has no reason to kill him
It must be Wang`s conspiracy
Shut up
You know, for these few words,
you could be sentenced to death
Being a Brocade Guard,
one prepares to die for justice
Dad, this is...
Zhao Bufa, this is strictly business
I`m your superior in work
not your dad
Sergeant, the 3 major rules of the guard
First of all,
obey your superior`s order;
secondly,
complete your mission without questioning
thirdly,
being merciless
Good. You`d better remember them
Don`t make a mistake or l`ll kill you too
Captain, I warn you too
I maintain a certain image of you;
don`t tarnish it
or l`ll have my own idea
You may leave
Captain
The reason l`ve asked three of you here...
is because l`ve an important mission
Please order
The decree ordered to kill 3 betrayers
Xue and Yu were executed
You`re going to handle Gao Xiang
Captain, can I say something?
Important missions
are always done by sergeant
Why us this time?
No questions. Go
Yes
All people in the house are dead
No one is alive.
Yes, all dead!
Strange. Who did it?
Let`s forget it. Find Gao Xian
Come on
No need. I`ve killed him
His head is here
Sergeant
The Captain assigned this job for 3 of us
Why are you here?
Makes no difference who kills the betrayer
Take the head and close the file
Go on
Nine Thousand Years,
Zhao Wuji wants to see you
Sir, I finished the work as you ordered
Yu Hualong, Xue Xiang and Gao Xian
were all killed
Good
Zhao, your efficiency is as good as...
these beauticians
I`m satisfied with your work
Thank you
Stop
Yu Hualong, Gao Xian?
What the hell!
Wang Zhen
You goddamn eunuch,
come down and get killed
Kill him
Kill
Zhao Wuji
I apologize for my ignorance
I`m really sorry
No matter how daring you are
You don`t have the guts to cheat me
This matter,
someone`s discreetly opposing me
Zhao Wuji
Yes
Who handled...
the cases of Yu and Gao?
Sergeant of the guard
It`s him
He`s your son
If he`s against me,
what will you do?
Nine Thousand Years
Though he`s my son
if this is true, l`ll be merciless
Good
I spare you this time
Give me a good answer
or your Zhao`s clan will be in danger
Thank you
Sir, you asked for me
What`s the matter?
Zhao Bufa
Yes
The decree ordered us
to kill officer Wang Yun
You will handle this case
Yes, sir
Captain, l`ll handle this alone
Why?
Wang is just a common officer
I alone would suffice
He`d be alerted if many people appear
Okay
You carry it out alone then
Right
Hurry
Mr. Zhao, you let us go
How can you explain to your dad?
Lord Wang, don`t say anymore. Leave now
Yes. Thank you
Go quickly
Lord Wang
Get me the traitor
Yes
Captain, Zhao Bufa was gone
Zhao Bufa, come out now
You disobeyed the order
betrayed the Brocade Guard
We`ll chase after you forever
You`ve nowhere to run
As what you said,
you ruined and separated a family ;
Was it to uphold the justice of heaven?
My blade kills bad guys only
Are you sure that...
you`ve not killed a good man?
I killed bad guys only
No
I have been used
They`re too mean
Bufa, what will you do?
It depends on what my dad will do
Bufa, are you alright?
Lian-lian
Lian-lian
Bufa
Lian-lian
You take care
Lian-lian
Wang Biao
The sergeant of Brocade Guard...
disobeyed the decree
and freed the convicts
You`re ordered to kill him
Bufa
Brother Chang and Lin
Where`s Bufa?
Is sergeant here?
What`s the matter?
True, there`s something urgent
Li Yi, you want to kill me
Why are you hiding?
Sergeant, l`m sorry
I just take the order
If you think it`s right, do it
Sergeant
Brothers, let`s try the tea
-Thanks
-Thanks
Uncle, let`s try the tea
Dingdong is a good boy
This is for you
Say thank you to uncle
Thank you
Please come again
Dingdong likes you very much
We come here this time...
What?
We come to invite the sergeant for a drink
Yeah, for a drink
I see
For men, having a drink is nothing special
No need to hide it from me
He`s back
Bufa, they`ve been waiting for you
Sergeant, please come with us
Where to?
You`ve been invited for a drink
Yes
Please. Let`s go
Xueliang, take good care of Dingdong
I`ll be right back
I know
Let`s go
Goodbye
See you
I really appreciate that
you hid the truth from my wife
If you want to do your job, go ahead
Sergeant, do we have a chance?
No chance
Either go with me or my dad
Sergeant...
No use to run
Captain Zhao and Wang Zhen won`t spare you
Then make my day!
You all know
what we did was wrong
I won`t give this up
My blade is a righteous weapon
I kill whoever did wrong
My dad is no exception
We know what we should do
We couldn`t finish our work
nor go against the captain
This is the only way out
Yes
Do it
Bear the pain
Li Jin
Wait for me
Chang Qiang
Zhang, I got you involved. I`m sorry
Bufa
Dad, please ask uncle to buy me
some more candy
I`ve finished the candy
Why aren`t uncles scared of the burn?
Captain
The guards Chang, Li, Wang and Lin
failed to kill Zhao and were killed by him
Zhao Wuji
Yes
You must be happy that your son ran away
Nine Thousands Years
I`ll be happy if he`s dead
Really?
Yes
Then send more guards to kill him
Yes
Wait
Zhao Bufa has very good skills
He trained the guards too
T o accomplish the work
I`ll handle it myself
Good
Go away
Yes
Listen, guards
Yes
Zhao Bufa, there`s no escape
Chao Jixiang
Kill him
Run
You`re all trained by me
Don`t force me to kill you
Zhao is a wanted criminal
Whoever shows mercy
is against the decree and will be killed
Bufa, what should we do?
Fight!
Run
Though I wear the brocade
I feel pain inside
Fame and fortune are tempting
Why be trapped by them?
I make a vow with blood
to sacrifice my life
The endless failure
The disappearance of justice
Hatred grows in my heart
Friends no longer walk with me
turning their backs to me
Once they used to be my best friends
Now they all change
Goodbye the salvation
I can`t help feeling miserable
I walk the dangerous road alone
I can`t help feeling pity for the dejected
Friends no longer walk with me
turning their backs on me
Once they used to be my best friends
Now they all change
Goodbye the salvation
Feeling unavoidably distressed
I walk the dangerous road alone
I can`t help feeling sad
about the miserable
Bufa, Chao is right behind us again
Hurry up
Zhao, you`ve nowhere to run
You`ll die here today
Dad
Dingdong
Dad
Xueliang
Dad, the bad guy is there
Be careful
I want to go home and feed the rabbit
Dingdong, the bad guy won`t let us leave
Dad, kill all of them
I`ll take you to see uncle tomorrow
There`s no bad guy
We`ve no need to run again.
Get it?
I got it
Zhao Wuji
Yes
Come over here
Yes
Raise your head
I`m telling you
If you don`t hand me your son,
I`ll cook your families as food for you
Don`t worry
It`ll soon be
his deceased mother`s birthday
He will come back for the ceremony
I`ll ask the Zhao`s clan to waste him off
Coming
This is Zhao Wuiji`s brother
He`s clever and has good fighting skills
But he isn`t after fame and fortune
Prefers staying home
to help the elders and kids
Hadn`t he been doing this...
he`d have better prospects than
his brother
Bufa, you`re a good son
On time every year to pay homage
to your mother
Uncle, after the obeisance this time...
I`ll stay here for a few days
Great
When you leave,
take me to the capital and show me around
Yes, I too aspire to be a Brocade Guard
I mean, it`s great
with the uniform and blade
Am I right?
Yes, very true
Brother, we all envy you
Yes. Brother, teach me the fighting skills
Right
The capital isn`t as good as you think
The home town is much warmer
and safer
Bufa, this time you`re back
why are you always so sad?
Where`s all your zeal?
You`re the best man of Zhao`s clan
You`ll be the one succeeding the heritage
Right
You`re the model when I give them lessons
Yes. You`re our role model
See where you can go.
Dad, a secret letter from the capital
Dad, what`s the matter?
What`s in the letter?
Don`t ask
Ask everyone to gather
at the ancestral temple
Ancestral temple?
Hurry up
Yes
Don`t let Dingdong know of this
Let`s take the decision unanimously
If you don`t tell me your decision
I`ll let him go
Dad, you must let him go
Brother
You all... say something
Why aren`t you saying anything?
I know what you`re thinking
Speak up. Why`re you quiet?
You don`t speak
I`ll do it
Dad, everyone knows that
if we let Bufa go,
our clan will be executed
We`ve to sacrifice him for the whole clan
Xiao Nan, why are you still standing here?
Get the blade
Go now
Listen up
For the sake of the whole clan
before tomorrow afternoon,
we must kill Bufa
Brother Bufa...
Sister-in-law
Good morning, Xiao Nan
Where`s brother?
Early in the morning
The clan brothers ask him
to practice skills
Practice skills?
Brother, please
You did a good job
I feel very happy
If you want to find out how good
your skills are,
you must consider me as your enemy
No mercy
Brother, please
Come on
Good
Zhao Yuanzhong, Zhao Yuanxiang
A bit of competition with elder bro
Remember, you must take it for real
Yes
Useless
You aren`t considering it for real
Come again
Didn`t you hear... No mercy!
Come on
Stop
Put down your blade
Master, he...
Dad, if we don`t kill him,
we...
Shut up
Uncle, why`re they after my life?
Bufa, come along.
I want to show you a letter
Uncle, do you have to do this?
I`ve no other choice
Uncle
Bufa
Uncle
Bufa
Dad
Stop fighting... Break it off
Hold it!
Dad, don`t!
Brother
Bufa, give me your head
No
Go away
Dad
Give it to me
Dad, don`t kill him...
Give it to me
Dad...
Uncle...
Why, uncle?
Why did you do this, uncle?
Forgive me. I`ve to kill you
or our clan will be executed
Xiao Nan, remember
You must kill him
Dad...
Zhao Wuji`s death
aroused the emotion of Zhao clan
The people became very angry
They just wanted to chop Bufa`s head off
Brother, sister-in-law...
Don`t be too sad
I won`t blame you on this
What`s about the clan?
People are scared of death
The life of the clan folk
depends on you
So they must kill you
But I respect your work for the country
your righteous character
For time being, l`ve convinced them
Brother, you`d better leave here now
Leave now
Xiao Nan, thank you
Brother, this is a farewell drink
Why don`t you drink it?
Bufa, drink it
or Xiao Nan will feel bad
You...
Bufa, how are you?
Brother, don`t blame me
The life of clansfolk depends on me
I got to do this
Xiao Nan, don`t be like this
We rush in...
We shouldn`t go in now
Bufa, how are you?
Bufa, wake up
Bufa, how are you? Bufa...
Dad, wake up. We`re going home
Get up, dad!
Sister-in-law
Who is it?
Xiao Nan...
Go inside
Xiao Nan...
Got it?
T omorrow is his mother`s birthday
He`ll go to the graveyard
We must take action there
Okay
Don`t worry
He`s taken the cure
He`ll be fine soon
Thanks, uncle
I know he`ll come back here
for obeisance to his mom every year
So l`m here to see him
I never expected this!
Right. Why are you here?
Weren`t you killed by your dad?
It`s a trick of my dad
He set it up and
killed me in front of the trainees
in order to make the trainees
devoted to him
Quietly he freed me
But I couldn`t show up anymore
You saved Bufa this time
If your dad knows it,
you`re sure to get involved
Don`t worry for me
T omorrow is mother`s birthday
I know they will take this chance
to kill him
Don`t go there
Leave before dawn
Leave?
Even if we manage to run away,
what about the life of the clan people?
No way. Bufa and I can`t be selfish
I know how to deal with this
You`re really deciding on this?
I should have been dead
I live on, but couldn`t see people
I feel like l`m useless
If I can save the clan people...
my death is still worth something
This is the only way out
or all the Zhao`s people
will be killed by Wang Zhen
or the Zhao`s people will kill each other
Mother
Why is uncle wearing dad`s clothes?
Mind your own business
The sun is about to rise
Let`s go to worship mom
Mom, this could be the last time
Zhao Bufa, you`ve nowhere to go.
Come down
Sister-in-law, take care
Brother-in-law. Thank you
I, Zhao Bufa, am here
Come and get me
Chop off Zhao Bufa`s head
Chop off Zhao Bufa`s head
I chopped his head off...
I chopped his head off...
I chopped his head...
Let`s go to get the reward
Brother, you sacrificed for Bufa
Your kind act
I`ll pay back with my own life
Dingdong, Xueliang
Mom, get up. I`m hungry
Mom, get up. Come on
Mom, come on
Xueliang...
Dad, why doesn`t mom get up?
Bufa, because of this,
your brother has sacrificed...
his head for you
This matter is over now
For his kind act,
I can only pay it back with my death
I hope you may hide yourself from now on
and bring Dingdong up
Don`t think about it anymore
Remember, don`t look into it anymore
No way
Mom, please forgive me
No matter what happens
I won`t give it up
T o kill Wang Zhen is...
the only way to keep the Zhao`s clan
and the Ming Dynasty going on
Uncle, we`ve killed Bufa
His head is here
Open it
He...
How come it`s him?
How come...?
Why, why him?
Does he have anything to do with it?
Why are you so ignorant?
We thought he`s dead
We never imagined he`d die for Bufa
Uncle, my dad and Xiao Nan
were sacrificed...
because of this head!
My son
I brought him to life
and I put him in danger
Uncle, I wrongly killed Buqun
Do we still need to kill Bufa?
Right. If we don`t kill him,
we`ll still be executed.
Shut up
Do you think that...
I really wish to kill my son?
If my death
could be used to avoid this matter
and to save the life of the clan,
I`d long back have sacrificed my life
Uncle, what should we do?
Wang Zheng has met Bufa just once
I believe I may be able to cheat him
I`ll take Buqun`s head
to terminate the case
Eunuch Wang, the officers at the hall
have been kneeling the entire morning
What`s the matter?
T oday I heard
some rumors and gossip about the emperor
They all denied
I punished them to kneel down
They deserved it
Your majesty, the captain of Brocade Guard
desires an audience
with `9 thousand years`
-Order
-Order
Order Zhao Wuji
Your majesty
Nine Thousand Years
Zhao Wuji
Yes
Did you finish my assignment?
Yes, I did
The head is here
Zhao, what`s inside the box?
Present it to the emperor
Yes
Good. Well-done
Wang, whose head is it?
Zhao Wuji
Yes
Tell the emperor whose head it is
Yes
He`s my son
Zhao Bufa
He...he`s your son?
Who killed him?
I gave the order to have him killed
What? You...
Zhao Wuji
How could you kill your son?
He disobeyed the decree
freed convicts and betrayed Brocade Guard
So...I killed him
Really?
Yes
I see. He deserved it
Your majesty, loyal and merciless people
Iike Zhao, who`re devoted to the country
have become fewer and fewer
Right. Zhao, you did a good job
You`re rewarded with 1 0,000 taels of gold
Thank you, your majesty
Zhao, the emperor is rewarding you
Why are you crying?
I just feel flattered
I`m just too happy
I can`t even hunt a wild chicken
Your majesty,
it`s time to return to the palace
No way. Keep on hunting
Who is it?
It`s the assassin
Guards!
Your majesty
Arise
Thank you
Nine Thousands Years
What`s the matter?
Someone`s here to deliver a letter
He says it must be sent to you
Wang, save me
Untie me, Wang. Hurry up
Let him go
Yes
You travelled a long way
to save the emperor
Thank you
You...still call yourself an emperor
Kneel down
You should address me the emperor now
Come on!
Your majesty
With you alive,
I couldn`t be the emperor happily
You kill me...
with the treasured sword I bestowed on you
Stop
Zhao Bufa, it`s my fault
If you can save me,
l`ll forgive your guilt
and promote your position
Your foolish bastard
Wang, you conspired
and harmed the righteous
Now you try to overthrow the emperor
T oday l`ll settle it all with you
Please don`t blame me for all this
If there`s no Song Gao Zhong,
could Qin Hui kill Yue Fei?
If this silly emperor
and those corrupted officers
didn`t exist,
Could I do it all by myself?
Be a good child.
Dad will kill the scoundrels
I understand
Be careful. Kill the bad guys
Bad guys, don`t hit my dad
My dad will kill you
Dad, are you alright?
I`m fine
Dad, this rascal is dead
Can we go home now?
Dingdong!
Captain
Get up
Thanks, captain
Excellent
You`re the chosen elites
from amongst the thousands
You`re going to uphold and execute
the holy mission of justice
for the country and people
Bufa, the matter is over
Why are you here?
Dad, I want to tell you
I`ve killed Wang Zhen
Don`t let him go
Stop
Let him go
Though I wear the brocade
I feel pain inside
Fame and fortune are tempting
Why be trapped by them!
I make a vow with blood
to sacrifice my life
The endless failure
The disappearance of justice
Hatred grows in my heart
Friends no longer walk with me
turning their backs to me
Once they used to be my best friends
Now they all change
Goodbye the salvation
I can`t help feeling miserable
Treading alone the dangerous path
I can`t help feeling sad
about the dejected
Friends no longer walk with me
turning their backs to me
They used to be my best friends
Now they all change
Goodbye the salvation
I can`t help feeling miserable
Treading alone the dangerous road
I feel grieved for
what people have to endure!
