00:00:55 When the Republic was still young
00:00:59 Yuan Shihai and the warlords
00:01:02 In the north mountains
00:01:09 This area was
00:01:12 Jiao's bandits all had pigtails.
00:01:16 They were known as the Pigtail Army.
00:01:20 The area was constantly fought over.
00:01:24 Yuan sent Jiao his envoy
00:01:54 Stop! Don't run.
00:02:00 He's over there.
00:02:02 Stop! Don't run.
00:02:05 Stop! Stop, stand still.
00:02:10 Don't run!
00:02:38 I've caught you at last, you bastard!
00:02:48 Give us your money.
00:02:58 Stop running!
00:03:24 Have you seen a kid
00:03:45 Roadside lnn.
00:03:49 Have a smoke, they're from Canton.
00:03:52 Really? Let me try one.
00:03:55 A light?
00:04:01 Thanks.
00:04:08 Not bad.
00:04:10 Nephew, isn't it too late
00:04:13 I'm going to stay here for the night.
00:04:18 It's 5 months since I last saw you,
00:04:22 where have you been?
00:04:25 Shanghai and Canton.
00:04:27 It's great being a postman.
00:04:35 Have you thought
00:04:38 The railway might come here soon.
00:04:42 Once that happens, people will use it
00:04:47 Don't you think so?
00:04:51 We'll wait and see.
00:05:15 There is no use in hiding.
00:05:20 I'm not hiding, just wrapping up.
00:05:41 Haven't you changed jobs yet?
00:05:43 Isn't it embarrassing?!
00:05:49 - What are you doing?
00:05:55 Please.
00:05:56 Move, get out of the way.
00:06:00 - If you make me go out, I'll die.
00:06:04 It's chaos out there. They steal
00:06:12 I despise people like you.
00:06:17 OK then, let's split it.
00:06:21 You have it.
00:06:41 Run!
00:06:46 Wait for me!
00:06:50 - Why aren't you running?
00:07:10 You've messed us around enough.
00:07:24 These two are my friends.
00:07:26 Respect me and let them go.
00:07:28 Respect?
00:07:32 What respect?
00:07:37 Run!
00:07:50 Yao Jie, how are you?
00:07:55 We've got unfinished business.
00:08:05 I'm Hu, and you are...?
00:08:08 I'm just a postman.
00:08:14 Hey, let's go.
00:08:17 What's the hurry?
00:08:19 - About what?
00:08:23 If it's about money,
00:08:27 It's not about money, it's about
00:08:32 What's the use of money
00:08:35 You can't handle it by yourself.
00:08:38 Can your friend here help you?
00:08:42 I'm sorry,
00:08:47 Sorry.
00:08:49 Excuse me.
00:08:56 - What about you?
00:09:00 But we've made
00:09:09 I'm not interested
00:09:17 Excuse me.
00:09:23 Uncle San, I'm leaving.
00:09:38 It wasn't me.
00:09:39 I didn't cheat.
00:09:41 Believe me, it wasn't my fault.
00:11:23 I thought you might need a bodyguard!
00:11:30 I want to talk to you.
00:11:52 Hey! The postman's back. Come on out.
00:11:57 The postman's back.
00:12:04 Slowly, easy.
00:12:10 Here they are.
00:12:13 Li Chang-Ken.
00:12:16 Wait, wait.
00:12:18 Madam Kuei, this is for you.
00:12:21 This is for Chang.
00:12:24 This is Chung...
00:12:25 It's so slow. I wish we had
00:12:29 Chen Shen, Chen Fa-Kuei...
00:12:34 This is for Wong...
00:12:35 Who is this?
00:12:38 That's your father.
00:12:40 - Hurry!
00:12:41 Wang Dai-jin. Ho Shao-hao.
00:12:47 - I thought my dad was a manager!
00:12:56 Li Choi.
00:12:59 Uncle Chang.
00:13:03 Brother Ma, is there anything for us?
00:13:06 Of course there is.
00:13:11 It's very tasty.
00:13:14 It's chocolate.
00:13:20 It's like mud!
00:13:23 He's just messing with us.
00:13:44 Brother Ma.
00:13:48 This is for you.
00:14:08 Mayor, please come in.
00:14:11 We've collected some money for you.
00:14:15 Pretend it's your wages.
00:14:20 There's no hurry.
00:14:22 It's not a lot.
00:14:24 As you know,
00:14:28 Everyone's robbing everyone else.
00:14:30 It's OK, I won't be leaving
00:14:38 To tell you the truth,
00:14:47 As I see it,
00:14:52 This line of work is not for you.
00:15:15 Excuse me.
00:15:29 Brother Ma, you're back.
00:15:42 Place your bets.
00:15:44 Thanks.
00:15:45 He's cheating!
00:16:19 Sorry.
00:16:28 It's OK, all settled.
00:16:33 Please, pay up.
00:16:37 That really hurt.
00:16:40 If I pay you double,
00:16:45 So you won't pay?
00:16:53 I can find my own way home.
00:17:14 Brother Ma.
00:17:15 What are you doing out so late?
00:17:20 My father sold my sister.
00:17:25 And with the money left over...
00:17:31 I want you to take me to Shanghai
00:17:39 She's only 15. Please take me.
00:17:42 We have to buy her back.
00:17:50 What are you doing here?
00:17:54 Why do you still live here?
00:17:57 This place is not fit for anyone.
00:18:00 What's on your mind?
00:18:10 Do you remember Hu?
00:18:13 He really respects you.
00:18:15 He's prepared to pay
00:18:18 So what do you think?
00:18:20 - You change your mind quickly.
00:18:26 But what?
00:18:27 - He's paying well.
00:18:30 - Sure.
00:18:33 I can't do it on my own.
00:18:36 Come on, help me.
00:18:39 I'm tired, I want to sleep.
00:18:43 Well, why not? You're not busy.
00:18:47 Not busy? I'm leaving
00:19:00 He's something else!
00:19:41 Yao Jie.
00:19:44 What?
00:19:45 When do you have
00:19:48 - Then you agree?!
00:20:07 Move, go away.
00:20:10 I've got something to ask you.
00:20:15 Have you seen anyone
00:20:20 What sort of scholar?
00:20:22 He wears a long grey gown
00:20:25 and he's about this tall.
00:20:27 There's lots of people like that
00:20:31 He likes gambling and he cheats.
00:20:33 Oh, him!
00:20:35 You should have said.
00:20:39 You know what to do.
00:20:42 So?
00:20:46 - Are you going to tell us?
00:20:50 - Where is he?
00:20:53 Let him go.
00:20:58 So we need one more person?
00:20:59 Yes, he's essential,
00:21:05 It won't kill you, back to work.
00:21:10 What are you doing?
00:21:32 Hey, get on with your work. Now!
00:21:56 Lunch!
00:22:22 Lao Bu, Shen wants to make a bet
00:22:26 Go on, are you scared of him?
00:22:32 Everyone thinks you'll win.
00:22:35 Everyone wants some action.
00:22:53 You chicken!
00:22:56 Haven't you got the stomach for it?
00:23:00 We better call you
00:23:13 Come on, then.
00:23:16 Action!
00:23:58 Come on.
00:24:41 Who are they calling coward now?
00:24:44 - You've arrived.
00:24:47 Yao Jie.
00:24:48 Your mouth!
00:25:12 Mr Hu, don't depend on
00:25:15 And remember,
00:25:17 we don't want any
00:25:20 But, who are the men?
00:25:36 I'm not staying.
00:25:41 This way, please.
00:25:49 These are the gifts for you
00:25:52 This way, please.
00:25:56 Take a seat.
00:26:05 You must get there in seven days.
00:26:07 Take these presents to Jiao Long's
00:26:13 Once you've delivered these boxes
00:26:19 But...
00:26:20 you must be on time.
00:26:24 Jiao Long's birthday
00:26:27 so don't be later than that date.
00:26:31 And another thing...
00:26:33 no one is allowed
00:26:37 Even if you run into serious trouble
00:26:43 Destroy them if you have to.
00:26:50 This is half in advance,
00:26:56 So when do we three leave?
00:26:58 Not three, four.
00:27:01 Fu Jun, come in.
00:27:12 This is Fu Jun from Canton,
00:27:16 The postman, we've met.
00:27:22 That's really good.
00:27:24 Fu is familiar with the underworld.
00:27:32 he should be an asset.
00:27:35 How many people know about this?
00:27:39 Just us.
00:28:02 Fu is pretty arrogant.
00:28:05 He must be keeping an eye on us.
00:28:16 Let's go.
00:28:40 What's wrong with her?
00:28:59 Brother Ma!
00:29:02 Guihua!
00:29:06 - Why are you here?
00:29:08 - I can't take you along.
00:29:13 I don't know what
00:29:17 You've got to take me with you.
00:29:20 Go and take the train.
00:30:25 Why did you bring so many rats?
00:30:28 They'll come in handy.
00:30:45 What's in those cases, then?
00:30:50 They're for Jiao Long,
00:30:55 What is that?
00:30:57 It's something I've invented.
00:31:02 As I see it,
00:31:09 Are you regretting it now?
00:31:12 Don't be silly,
00:31:16 You've saved my life,
00:31:27 Tonight's cold,
00:31:30 Don't get too involved, we'll just
00:31:38 Brother Ma, who's on watch tonight?
00:31:41 You sleep first, I'll do tonight.
00:32:14 Drink some of this,
00:32:38 Brother Ma, the horse is gone!
00:32:45 Bu!
00:32:47 Where's the horse?
00:32:52 Damn, I accidentally fell asleep.
00:32:56 Accidentally? I think you were drunk.
00:33:01 The cases are gone too.
00:33:02 How will I explain this?
00:33:06 Calm down, let's talk it over.
00:33:09 Fine, yes, calm down -
00:33:14 What do you mean?
00:33:16 Just give me the gold.
00:33:18 If you jumped off a cliff
00:33:22 What do you mean?
00:33:24 I didn't like you
00:33:29 Typical peasant miner.
00:33:34 OK, let's look for the horse.
00:33:36 Help!
00:33:38 Help!
00:33:39 Stay here, we'll go and look.
00:33:44 Help me!
00:33:51 Help!
00:33:52 Haven't we seen her before?
00:33:55 Our horse!
00:34:02 Help me!
00:34:19 Watch the horse.
00:34:35 Are you all right?
00:34:40 - Are you OK?
00:34:43 Come on.
00:34:52 - They look like Jiao's bandits.
00:34:55 Yao Jie!
00:35:01 Over there, quick!
00:35:34 Where are we? It's so dark here.
00:35:37 - It's called the snake pit.
00:35:40 There's nothing to be afraid of.
00:35:57 Want a drink?
00:36:06 You were clever, I'm glad
00:36:11 You have to be clever to survive.
00:36:15 You're OK, have a drink.
00:36:32 Here.
00:37:01 It'll keep you warm.
00:37:07 My family lives in Feng Shui.
00:37:10 As we're in the area,
00:37:13 Good, while we're here, why not?
00:37:17 Let's escort Miss Li home.
00:37:19 Just in case she has more trouble.
00:37:21 Brother Ma!
00:37:23 Brother Ma.
00:37:25 Someone's here.
00:37:27 Get the horse.
00:38:12 - Where are you from?
00:38:15 Have you seen
00:38:20 No.
00:38:32 Bring me the boy.
00:38:36 Don't move.
00:38:44 Where did you get this?
00:38:46 I found it.
00:38:54 It's nothing to do with me.
00:39:27 - Look after him.
00:39:29 - Let's go.
00:39:32 Go.
00:39:38 Go.
00:41:01 It's nothing,
00:41:31 What do you think they are doing?
00:41:35 Who knows?
00:41:39 Yao's hurt and we've got to
00:41:44 We don't know when
00:41:47 Don't worry,
00:41:51 After this, what are you going to do?
00:41:58 I want to go to Hong Kong.
00:42:01 And you?
00:42:03 I've got no plans.
00:42:08 Why don't you come with me?
00:42:10 Aren't you worried I'm stupid?
00:42:14 Don't be so petty!
00:42:38 Hurry up.
00:42:43 Damn horse!
00:42:46 Wait here.
00:42:57 Move.
00:43:01 - Leave it.
00:43:34 Do you come from the south?
00:43:39 Yes.
00:43:44 I lived in Canton for a while.
00:43:46 Did you come up north
00:43:52 I go wherever I want to try my luck.
00:44:01 Do you think
00:44:09 Let's go.
00:44:13 Come on, we've almost reached
00:44:28 What do you think of Miss Li?
00:44:31 Mind your own business.
00:44:40 After this you'll reach Laoma Pass.
00:44:44 No.
00:44:46 So you want to go back to Canton?
00:44:49 Yes, but before I go back
00:44:57 - Do you know someone there?
00:45:05 So what will you do there?
00:45:10 Try your luck?
00:45:27 Fu.
00:45:29 I've waited a long time for you.
00:45:32 Don't you remember in Canton
00:45:39 I can tell you now,
00:45:43 I just haven't done the job yet.
00:45:48 There's two sides to every story.
00:46:42 You're squashing me!
00:46:45 Ah Hui!
00:48:09 - Are you OK?
00:48:12 Did you kill those two men?
00:48:14 Just some unfinished business.
00:48:16 Where's Miss Li?
00:48:18 I don't know. I've looked everywhere.
00:48:22 Maybe she's gone back to Feng Shui.
00:48:25 I don't know.
00:48:28 Let's talk about this later.
00:48:38 Well?
00:48:41 I've asked everywhere,
00:48:46 - Where are the others?
00:48:49 Today's society is so chaotic,
00:48:53 Don't get depressed about it,
00:48:56 I'm not going, you two go.
00:49:22 That's enough.
00:49:37 The way I see it, that Miss Li...
00:49:41 she's a strange one.
00:49:43 I don't think she's honest.
00:49:51 What do you think?
00:49:58 Do you know what
00:50:05 How should I know?
00:50:09 I'm going for a walk.
00:50:15 Place your bets.
00:50:18 Come on, hurry.
00:50:26 Eight and nine.
00:50:29 Player one, you lose.
00:50:32 And you lose too.
00:50:34 Come on, move. Let me play.
00:50:38 Place your bets.
00:50:40 Stop pushing.
00:50:45 No more bets. It's 20.
00:50:58 Hey, what about you?
00:51:00 Any more bets? Last bets.
00:51:07 No more bets.
00:51:15 Are you ready yet?
00:51:40 - Why are you following me?
00:51:43 Really?
00:51:55 Brother Ma.
00:51:59 Captain.
00:52:12 Did you know
00:52:16 Yuan has stated
00:52:19 The gift you're delivering
00:52:22 will help Jiao in Yuan's cause.
00:52:26 They'll join forces against Dr Sun.
00:52:29 No matter what,
00:52:33 It's my duty to deliver them.
00:52:39 - Take them.
00:52:43 I think you'd better give up.
00:52:59 Are you all right?
00:53:20 Get up.
00:53:22 - What is it?
00:54:58 What are you doing?
00:55:19 - Brother Ma.
00:55:23 - Where are the others?
00:55:27 Let's go.
00:56:13 I'll ask you again, where are
00:56:54 I know every move
00:56:58 so why are you resisting me?
00:57:02 Why don't you cooperate
00:57:29 Be careful, it's slippery.
00:57:36 - Help him.
00:57:39 Careful.
00:58:02 Careful.
00:58:05 Wait.
00:58:08 Listen.
00:58:19 Let's go.
00:58:32 They're getting closer.
00:58:38 Faster.
00:58:43 Watch your back.
00:58:46 Behind you!
00:58:59 Move!
00:59:31 Quick, run!
00:59:33 Forget the cases!
00:59:41 Run!
00:59:47 - Are you OK?
00:59:54 Run!
00:59:59 - I'll help you.
01:00:28 Yao Jie, you still awake?
01:00:45 Will we reach Laoma Pass tomorrow?
01:00:53 I promised to deliver
01:00:59 If there's anything more to this,
01:01:04 I'm not hiding anything from you.
01:01:09 Who killed that revolutionary?
01:01:11 How should I know? I wasn't there.
01:01:14 Were you shocked
01:01:17 If you don't trust me, fine.
01:01:29 You didn't want to work
01:01:33 Then you changed your mind. Strange.
01:01:37 I only did it for the money.
01:01:40 What's inside the cases?
01:01:43 I don't know.
01:01:45 Tell me or I'll open them.
01:01:51 - Don't. You can't open them.
01:01:56 You're not allowed.
01:01:58 What's going on?
01:02:00 Brother Ma, you can't do this.
01:02:19 Yuan hired Hu in Tokyo.
01:02:23 He's a Ninja.
01:02:25 I used to work for him.
01:02:27 This time, he asked me to help out.
01:02:30 But I refused
01:02:35 He forced me to deliver
01:02:38 Once the cases are delivered,
01:02:42 - What's inside those cases?
01:02:45 Yuan has so many soldiers,
01:02:49 He's using us to bring
01:02:53 So Miss Li has fallen for the trap.
01:02:57 Hu is a sly man,
01:03:03 Let me deliver the cases alone.
01:03:21 If we're not back by sunset,
01:03:35 Brother Ma, I'll wait for you
01:03:49 Brother Ma?
01:03:52 Be careful of Hu.
01:04:23 I told you women were troublesome.
01:04:26 Unlike us men!
01:05:37 You must have had a hard journey,
01:05:50 Guihua's been gone too long.
01:05:55 - Keep your eye on them.
01:06:07 Brother, brother.
01:06:13 Are you all right?
