en
00:00:33 CHINA 859 A.D.
00:00:34 The once-mighty Tang dynasty
00:00:36 The emperor
00:00:39 His corrupt government
00:00:42 Unrest sweeps the country.
00:00:44 Village by village,
00:00:47 The House of Flying Daggers.
00:00:50 Based near the imperial capital...
00:00:52 ...the House of Flying Daggers
00:00:55 Stealing from the rich
00:00:57 ...they earn the support
00:01:00 At the same time,
00:01:03 ...by their bitter rivals,
00:01:08 Police Headquarters
00:01:14 Captain Leo, Captain Jin.
00:01:16 We're heading out on patrol.
00:01:27 We're going to be busy again.
00:01:30 The provincial office has given us
00:01:34 ...of the Flying Daggers.
00:01:36 It took us three months
00:01:42 Ten days? Impossible.
00:01:47 Have you heard
00:01:50 Yes.
00:01:52 Does anyone know you there?
00:01:55 No, I haven't been there yet.
00:01:59 Good, now's your chance.
00:02:01 Any information?
00:02:04 We suspect one of the showgirls
00:02:10 Okay, I'll check it out.
00:02:16 Entertainment House
00:02:21 Pull. Pull harder.
00:02:25 Pull harder.
00:02:31 Come on.
00:02:48 That's it. I'm done.
00:02:51 - Madam!
00:02:53 - Madam!
00:02:58 What can I do for you, sir?
00:03:01 I heard you have a new girl.
00:03:05 You're well informed.
00:03:10 Is she pretty?
00:03:11 - She's quite a beauty.
00:03:32 There is one thing
00:03:36 What's that?
00:03:39 The girl is blind.
00:03:42 Blind?
00:03:45 Then she must be special.
00:03:48 I'm curious.
00:04:32 How did you lose your sight?
00:04:37 I was born blind.
00:04:40 Why would a blind girl work here?
00:04:43 Why can't a blind girl work here?
00:04:47 You're right.
00:04:50 - What's your name?
00:04:55 Mei?
00:04:57 Every girl in this pavilion
00:05:01 Why is yours so plain?
00:05:04 I don't want to compete
00:05:08 What do you mean?
00:05:10 The flowers displayed here
00:05:14 Real flowers
00:05:20 Well said.
00:05:25 If you impress me, I'll take you to
00:05:33 What's your talent
00:05:38 - Dancing.
00:06:31 Don't you know the rules?
00:07:41 A rare beauty in the north
00:07:46 She's the finest lady on earth
00:07:52 A glance from her,
00:07:57 A second glance
00:08:03 There exists no city or nation
00:08:06 That has been more cherished
00:08:11 Than a beauty like this
00:08:45 A rare beauty in the north
00:08:51 She's the finest lady on earth
00:08:56 A glance from her,
00:09:02 A second glance
00:09:07 There exists no city or nation
00:09:10 That has been more cherished
00:09:16 Than a beauty like this
00:09:33 Please calm down, sir.
00:09:38 - Go away!
00:09:41 Please let me explain. This girl
00:09:45 Please forgive her.
00:09:49 - Go away!
00:09:51 Stop!
00:09:56 Captain.
00:09:58 This is the captain of the county.
00:10:01 To hell with the captain!
00:10:04 Outrageous! Arrest him.
00:10:08 Let me go!
00:10:12 Who are you?
00:10:17 How dare you! I'm the captain.
00:10:21 You're drunk.
00:10:25 Arrest both of them.
00:10:28 Get your hands off me.
00:10:31 Let me go!
00:10:34 Please spare the girl, captain.
00:10:37 It was not her fault.
00:10:39 Please don't arrest her.
00:10:41 Our business is new.
00:10:44 How can a blind girl
00:10:47 She's a dancer with rare skills.
00:10:50 Please see for yourself.
00:10:56 Do you know the echo game?
00:10:59 I played it once.
00:11:01 All right.
00:11:02 Perform well and I'll let you go.
00:11:06 Thank you, captain.
00:11:08 Go and change quickly.
00:12:20 Fantastic.
00:13:14 Excellent!
00:16:07 Who are you really?
00:16:10 Why do you want to kill me?
00:16:12 Government-running dogs,
00:17:22 I do enjoy fighting a blind girl.
00:19:26 We found this in her room.
00:19:41 You're a member of
00:19:48 Who's the new leader?
00:19:52 Where's the new leader?
00:19:59 I'll show you what we'll do to you
00:20:25 In front of you is a torture device.
00:20:40 Your head will be put here...
00:20:47 ...your shoulder here...
00:20:50 ...your back here...
00:20:53 ...your legs here.
00:21:04 You'll never dance again after this.
00:21:09 Do you understand?
00:21:23 You have one day to think it over.
00:21:34 This girl reminds me of someone.
00:21:37 Who?
00:21:40 Rumor has it...
00:21:41 ...the old leader's blind daughter
00:21:46 It was a heavy blow
00:21:49 They vowed revenge for their loss...
00:21:51 ...while searching for the girl.
00:21:57 Why would
00:22:00 ...end up in a brothel?
00:22:04 Who owns the Peony Pavilion?
00:22:08 Perhaps the Flying Daggers
00:22:12 ...we were responsible
00:22:15 Forget it. Let's turn her over
00:22:19 ...and then go out for a drink.
00:22:23 I have a better idea.
00:22:25 Since we have some clues...
00:22:27 ...let's follow them through
00:22:32 Do you want me to do it?
00:22:34 Of course, who else?
00:22:38 All right.
00:22:43 You know I love flirting with girls.
00:22:50 Don't let beauty
00:22:53 If I die under a skirt,
00:24:46 Who are you?
00:24:48 I undressed you only yesterday.
00:24:50 Have you forgotten me already?
00:24:53 Why did you rescue me?
00:24:56 Why do you think?
00:24:59 You're an exquisite flower.
00:25:01 I'll do anything to help you.
00:25:04 Control yourself.
00:25:07 Don't worry.
00:25:08 I'm no longer
00:25:11 You're not a showgirl anymore.
00:25:13 You're the daughter
00:25:15 What did you say?
00:25:17 How many blind girls
00:25:20 ...and carry daggers like these?
00:25:24 I've rescued you...
00:25:27 ...and your daggers as well.
00:25:33 Why did you take such a risk?
00:25:36 I hate the corrupt government
00:25:42 Much obliged.
00:25:45 Why did we abandon the horses?
00:25:47 Hoofprints can be easily tracked.
00:25:49 I have two new horses
00:25:51 You've planned well.
00:25:54 What's your name, master?
00:25:57 Just call me Wind.
00:25:59 Wind?
00:26:00 I wander around all alone...
00:26:02 ...come and go without a trace.
00:26:04 Like a carefree wind?
00:26:07 No, a playful wind.
00:26:11 You like to tease.
00:26:13 I wonder what you look like.
00:26:15 That's easy to find out.
00:26:17 Here.
00:26:20 Please let go.
00:26:22 This isn't the Peony Pavilion.
00:26:25 You'll know what I look like
00:26:31 Come on.
00:26:32 It's not respectful
00:26:41 I asked you to start from the top.
00:26:45 That's fine with me.
00:26:47 You've mastered
00:26:53 Your right hand
00:27:02 Your left hand is powerful
00:27:12 Your heart beats steadily.
00:27:16 You can read me like a book.
00:27:19 You're a brave man.
00:27:21 I'm never shy around women.
00:27:28 You're young, indeed.
00:27:39 You know how to hold your drink.
00:27:44 The soldiers are approaching.
00:28:07 I've lost my dagger pouch.
00:33:07 I'm sorry I was late.
00:34:52 The Flying Daggers are always
00:34:56 We just keep heading north.
00:34:59 Just head north?
00:35:02 They will come to us.
00:35:04 The Flying Daggers
00:35:07 Why did they send you
00:35:09 No one sent me. I came alone.
00:35:13 As the old leader's daughter...
00:35:16 ...you should be more cautious.
00:35:18 Have you considered
00:35:20 I'll do anything to avenge my father.
00:35:33 Come here.
00:35:49 These are men's clothes.
00:35:56 I won't take advantage of you.
00:37:15 Have you seen enough?
00:37:18 Please hand me the clothes.
00:37:23 You knew I was here?
00:37:26 Master Wind wanders like the wind.
00:37:28 I'd expect you to be anywhere.
00:37:56 You look different in men's clothes.
00:38:00 Do I look awful?
00:38:09 I will tell all the girls
00:38:12 ...the next time
00:38:34 Now I know...
00:38:36 ...you're not shy around women.
00:38:42 You're not shy either.
00:38:46 How do you know?
00:38:51 You knew I was
00:38:53 ...yet you said nothing.
00:39:00 You saved my life.
00:39:03 You can look all you please.
00:40:31 I thought you were hot as fire.
00:40:34 In fact, you're cool as water.
00:40:40 I don't know you well enough.
00:40:45 I really care for you.
00:40:51 A playboy like you,
00:40:58 What if I am this time?
00:41:55 Are our men close by?
00:41:57 I'm sure today's fighting
00:42:01 Our men will ease off from now on.
00:42:05 Good. That will
00:42:10 Any clues?
00:42:12 Not yet.
00:42:14 Don't let her see through you.
00:42:16 Don't worry.
00:42:21 She trusts me.
00:42:24 I warn you, don't fall for her.
00:42:29 What do you mean, fall?
00:42:32 Fall into bed?
00:42:36 Like her father,
00:42:40 Don't let her fool you.
00:42:41 Don't be absurd.
00:42:44 I'm in control.
00:42:47 I have to get back now.
00:42:51 Don't turn a game into reality
00:42:55 Who cares,
00:43:19 Shall we rest for a while?
00:43:28 I smell flowers.
00:43:47 You told me...
00:43:49 ...you'd bring me
00:44:50 Which is the most beautiful?
00:45:06 - How do I look?
00:45:16 Soldiers are approaching.
00:45:56 - I'm on your side.
00:45:58 - I am a captain of the county.
00:46:03 Nonsense. You are the bastard
00:48:28 You're wounded. Is it serious?
00:48:32 No.
00:50:25 Was it someone
00:50:37 It's not likely.
00:50:42 Then who?
00:50:46 I don't know.
00:50:52 He's gone.
00:50:56 I guess he doesn't want to
00:51:44 This time,
00:53:04 You've done enough for me.
00:53:08 Please leave.
00:53:11 Don't worry about me.
00:53:16 We've come this far.
00:53:49 I hope you're not seriously wounded.
00:53:52 We agreed
00:53:55 Why did government soldiers
00:53:57 The general sent them.
00:53:59 They don't know you.
00:54:02 The general?
00:54:04 How did the general get involved?
00:54:07 This case is important,
00:54:11 The general is taking over.
00:54:16 The soldiers didn't
00:54:18 The general ordered it.
00:54:20 He said we need real blood
00:54:23 Even if the blood is mine?
00:54:26 Jin...
00:54:29 ...the soldiers' lives and our lives...
00:54:33 ...are worth nothing to him.
00:54:36 You don't know how I felt...
00:54:39 ...as I killed our own men.
00:54:41 I feel worse. I am tortured.
00:54:45 You?
00:54:47 I truly regret...
00:54:50 ...taking on this mission.
00:54:52 I've followed you all the way,
00:54:57 My heart grows heavy...
00:54:59 ...when I think
00:55:09 Is there no other way to do this?
00:55:14 The general said...
00:55:17 ...it's the only way
00:55:26 Jin, you should know...
00:55:28 ...there are more soldiers ahead.
00:55:31 - What?
00:55:35 They don't know you either.
00:55:37 You must stop them.
00:55:40 There is nothing I can do.
00:55:44 The order given to these soldiers...
00:55:49 ...is fight to kill.
00:55:52 If you don't kill them...
00:55:55 ...they will kill you.
00:56:01 Take care.
00:56:19 I quit!
00:57:03 Where have you been?
00:57:10 I have a question for you.
00:57:13 - What question?
00:57:20 What do you mean?
00:57:23 Do you feel anything for me?
00:57:30 Don't take this so seriously.
00:57:33 I want to know.
00:57:36 I'm a free spirit...
00:57:38 ...like the wind, always moving.
00:57:42 The wind never thinks too much.
00:57:44 I want the wind to stop and think.
00:57:46 The wind cannot stop.
00:57:50 Not even for me?
00:57:58 The wind breezes through
00:58:06 Now you understand...
00:58:09 ...why I'm called Wind.
00:58:29 Fine. Go and be the wind.
00:58:34 I don't need you anymore!
00:59:08 I don't care if you're true or not,
00:59:14 I want to end this.
00:59:17 Are you going alone?
00:59:21 I'd like to be the wind for once.
00:59:22 Where will you go?
00:59:25 Who knows.
00:59:28 Aren't you going back
00:59:30 Do you want me to go back?
00:59:36 I've left them.
00:59:44 Thank you for
01:06:00 - It's you.
01:08:51 You said the wind could not stop.
01:08:55 A playful wind stops at will.
01:09:01 You shouldn't have come back.
01:09:03 I came back...
01:09:06 ...for you.
01:10:01 Nia!
01:10:11 Mei, you're back.
01:10:25 Who will believe the madam
01:10:27 ...is the leader
01:10:30 I behaved badly that day.
01:10:33 Did I look like a real madam?
01:10:36 Very much so.
01:10:43 What do you think of Mei?
01:10:46 What do you mean?
01:10:50 I mean her personality, of course.
01:10:55 She's passionate.
01:10:58 Go on.
01:11:00 She may be blind,
01:11:05 Hardly anyone can match her.
01:11:08 Not even I.
01:11:12 Do you care for her?
01:11:15 You are asking?
01:11:18 A man and a girl
01:11:20 ...what else could I be talking about?
01:11:26 Mei is a rare beauty.
01:11:28 I care for her a lot.
01:11:30 Then I shall act as the matchmaker
01:11:42 Marriage is a big deal.
01:11:45 She's not a good match for you?
01:11:47 On the contrary.
01:11:49 Mei is from a respectable family.
01:11:51 I'm just a humble swordsman.
01:11:54 Our old leader
01:11:57 Now that I'm the new leader, it's my
01:12:02 I haven't been able to find anyone...
01:12:04 ...within the Flying Daggers
01:12:10 What do you say?
01:12:16 I accept your offer.
01:12:19 Our house is much obliged to you.
01:12:26 Please accept my gratitude.
01:12:28 With much pleasure.
01:12:38 What's going on?
01:13:02 - Where are our soldiers?
01:13:09 You were both plotting to catch me
01:13:55 You're not blind?
01:14:07 Are you the old leader's daughter?
01:14:10 He has a blind daughter.
01:14:12 She doesn't know martial arts...
01:14:14 ...so I pretended to be her.
01:14:17 If you had known the truth,
01:14:34 It's all been an act.
01:14:51 Who are you really?
01:14:55 My name is Mei.
01:14:56 I'm just one of many girls
01:15:05 That's enough. Take him out.
01:15:18 You wait here.
01:15:20 I want to finish him off myself.
01:15:23 Move.
01:15:45 Stop.
01:15:50 Do you have anything to say?
01:15:53 You're not Nia, the new leader.
01:15:58 You're right.
01:15:59 Of course I'm not Nia.
01:16:02 Nia wouldn't show herself so easily.
01:16:08 Who are you, then?
01:16:10 That is not important.
01:16:12 Nia sent me to finish this matter.
01:16:24 You've done a good job, Leo.
01:16:31 We've never met before...
01:16:33 ...but I know you by reputation.
01:16:35 Three years ago...
01:16:37 ...our old leader planted you
01:16:40 You've accomplished much
01:16:45 I failed to protect him...
01:16:49 ...from being assassinated.
01:16:51 Nia knew that you were
01:16:54 There was nothing you could do.
01:16:58 I'm grateful for her understanding.
01:17:01 We need to win this battle...
01:17:03 ...against the government troops.
01:17:06 You and Mei have successfully
01:17:11 Well done.
01:17:13 I'll report to Nia
01:17:15 It's my duty.
01:17:19 Please tell Nia...
01:17:21 ...the general has led
01:17:25 Be careful.
01:17:27 Don't worry.
01:17:32 - There is one thing I don't understand.
01:17:35 - Who sent Mei on this mission?
01:17:41 Has Nia ever considered
01:17:43 What do you mean?
01:17:46 I haven't seen Mei for three years.
01:17:49 Now I have to watch her flirt
01:17:52 It's not the first time...
01:17:54 ...Mei's been asked to use
01:18:01 I've heard about
01:18:03 Do you still love her?
01:18:07 We're facing a battle that will decide
01:18:12 The troops are closing in.
01:18:21 All right.
01:18:24 I will let you see Mei.
01:20:05 You haven't changed.
01:20:08 I'm still Mei.
01:20:14 It's been three years.
01:20:17 Finally, we're alone together.
01:20:20 I know.
01:20:28 You saved me
01:20:31 Thank you.
01:20:33 You don't need to thank me.
01:20:35 I would do anything for you.
01:20:43 I know.
01:20:45 You've risked everything,
01:20:47 ...to win honor and to impress me.
01:20:55 You're the only one...
01:20:58 ...who understands me.
01:21:08 I was all alone for three years.
01:21:11 You were in my mind
01:21:13 My love for you...
01:21:15 ...was all I had to keep me going.
01:24:23 Do you love him?
01:24:37 You knew the plan.
01:24:41 It was only an act
01:24:59 There is no future for you two.
01:25:04 Do you understand?
01:26:01 Nia!
01:26:04 You can't force a woman...
01:26:06 ...against her will.
01:26:10 Do not pull this dagger out.
01:26:13 I'm sending you back
01:26:16 You will be more convincing...
01:26:18 ...with a dagger in your back.
01:26:23 You must leave immediately.
01:26:27 Yes, ma'am.
01:26:40 I have sacrificed
01:26:45 How could you love Jin
01:27:07 Mei, I also have a task for you.
01:27:11 Jin is of no use to us anymore.
01:27:14 Take him out and kill him.
01:27:20 Leo plays a crucial role for us.
01:27:23 We can't let Jin ruin our plan.
01:27:27 You must kill him...
01:27:29 ...to prevent any future trouble.
01:27:36 You know our rules.
01:27:39 Yes, ma'am.
01:28:38 I left you
01:28:43 ...but you still followed me.
01:28:45 Please don't blame me.
01:28:48 If your plan had succeeded...
01:28:50 ...many in the Flying Daggers
01:28:52 You wouldn't let me go either.
01:28:55 It would be me on my knees...
01:28:59 ...waiting to die.
01:29:05 You're right.
01:29:07 If I'd won...
01:29:10 ...I wouldn't have let you go.
01:31:21 Go.
01:31:26 How will you explain this to Nia?
01:31:33 That's my business.
01:31:37 Why don't you come with me.
01:31:56 Deep in your heart,
01:32:05 I guess there is a man
01:32:15 Yes. A man who's
01:32:24 Was it he who helped us
01:32:28 Yes.
01:32:33 Then he has saved my life too.
01:32:41 Do you still love him?
01:32:56 When can we see each other again?
01:33:02 We cannot.
01:33:07 We belong to two opposing sides.
01:33:10 If we meet again...
01:33:13 ...one of us will have to die.
01:34:06 A decisive battle is imminent.
01:34:10 You and I are just pawns
01:34:13 Nobody cares if we live or die.
01:34:20 Let's go away together
01:34:23 ...as free as the wind.
01:34:30 We'll wander around alone...
01:34:33 ...come and go without a trace...
01:34:35 ...like a playful wind.
01:34:38 No, a carefree wind.
01:34:44 Just you and me.
01:34:51 Come with me, please.
01:39:05 Are you going with him?
01:39:13 Why?
01:39:23 You're the love of my life.
01:39:30 You don't have to love me...
01:39:33 ...but you can never go with him.
01:39:45 Otherwise you'll die.
01:39:52 Mei...
01:39:58 ...you've forced me to kill you.
01:40:06 I knew you would do this.
01:40:16 You knew and you went anyway.
01:40:19 Why did you go?
01:40:21 Why did you go? Why?!
01:40:30 To be free, like the wind.
01:42:32 You're a member
01:42:34 You're right.
01:42:37 You're the one who loves Mei?
01:42:39 Yes, I love her truly...
01:42:43 ...while you are only playing a game.
01:42:46 If you love her, why kill her?
01:42:49 It's all your fault.
01:42:53 My fault?
01:42:55 I warned you,
01:43:03 She has betrayed me
01:43:06 You must die.
01:43:11 Fine.
01:43:12 You kill Mei, you must die too!
01:47:35 Mei.
01:47:49 Let him go.
01:47:53 If you kill him...
01:47:57 ...I'll kill you with this dagger.
01:48:00 Mei! Don't pull the dagger out!
01:48:02 If you do, your blood will drain
01:48:09 Don't do it!
01:48:30 Mei, I'm closer to him.
01:48:34 He'll hit me first.
01:48:36 You can't save me...
01:48:40 ...with your dagger.
01:50:30 Mei!
01:50:39 Mei! Mei!
01:51:00 You shouldn't have come back.
01:51:07 I came back...
01:51:10 ...for you, my love.
01:52:20 A rare beauty in the north
01:52:26 She's the finest lady on earth
01:52:32 A glance from her,
01:52:38 A second glance
01:52:44 There exists no city or nation
01:52:48 That has been more cherished
01:52:54 Than a beauty like this
