Drink slowly
Your name?
The Rover
What an interesting name
Yours?
The Homeless
We're the same
Where are you off to?
Anywhere there's a road
It's a dead end
There's only desert ahead
I know, but where there's a will there's a way
That's true
If I were you and if I had a choice
I wouldn't be in this God forsaken place
By your looks
you must have gone without food for a few days
At least 3 to 4 days
Wait, I'll get you something to eat
Wait
The water is poisoned, don't drink if you want to live
I am returning the water and the food
...intact to you
Have you come to arrest me?
No
By your looks...
you don't look like a travelling business man
Then...friend
Have I crossed you in any way in the past?
You are too much; repaying kindness with a grudge
Ieaving me a damn horse
Do you want to kill me?
You are a rogue
you should appreciate that if it weren't for me
you'd have been a pile of bones by now
Put out the fire
Why?
I can't stand the light
You have to be patient then
I'll tell you a story
I was born in the night
My family lit all the lamps to welcome me
Since then I've always liked the light
and I would cry at night if there was no light
That sort of disturbed the whole family
Put it out
What great skills!
You flatter me
That's all I know
If this goes on I'll make a fool of myself
Friend, fate has brought us together
...in this barren land
We don't have a rapport
and there's nothing to talk about
Ride your horse and get out of here
You're too cold
It's dark
I can't even find the directions, how can I leave?
That's your business
Why bear such a grudge?
Can you bear with me for a night
and let me sleep with this small fire going?
I'll leave the first thing in the morning, okay?
Who's he? Why doesn't he give his name?
Great, it must be the camel caravan
Wait
What's the matter?
No
Friend, if you don't want fresh blood
to stain your clothes...
it's not too late to leave even now
Blood? Whose blood?
Chik Ming Sing, come out and face your death
There's also that accomplice
Accomplice?
If you're really Chik Ming Sing
that accomplice should be me
I am Chik Ming Sing
So you're running from your enemies
Don't worry, I'll attend to your corpse
I promise I'll get the best coffin for you
Tell me your address
so I could send you back
This technique is called the Bastard's Somersault
Damn you
Brother, let me live, okay?
That means killing myself
Is this how you handle the hammer?
Not like this
Bastard, why did you hit me there?
That's our favourite spot
Are you giving up?
Not unless you come to apologise to godfather with me
I can't do that
Yau Kwoon Hung, we've been brothers for years
Don't force me to kill you
Bull shit. You can't kill me
Godfather said regardless of if you're dead or alive
as long as you return
The second and third batch just follow closely
It's useless if you get help
You must be Wang Tao Sang the Soaring Eagle
Your father
Damn you
Why do you like to hit this spot?
This is the iron egg smashing into the soft egg
It's completely changed
Why did you kill him?
He attacked first, it was self defence
The issue is you're so alone
that I should save you
I got you this plaque
What a busy body
It's difficult to do the right thing
You have a murderous look
you must have killed many people
I don't remember
I do remember how many women I've had
The 3 men you killed just now are...
Two, one was killed by you
Tell me frankly. For which case
are you arresting me for?
So you take me for one of those
man hunters?
Sorry, I'm not interested in
such an immoral profession
Then why are you following me?
What do you want?
Don't doubt my identity anymore
I am a vagabond
If you want me as friend, that's good
...if not, forget it
It doesn't hurt in your case
to make one more friend
Alright...I'll take you as friend temporarily
As you wish
Your background is a mystery
There's an end to conversation
and there's a time for riddles to be solved, right?
Yes, please
Why does the lron Boat gang want to kill you?
You want to listen to this story too?
I've nothing else better to do, if you talk I'll listen
The lron Boat gang is a criminal gang
and does a lot of illegal activities
The head is Yoh Xi Hung
He is also the godfather of the Thirteen Eagles
He is cruel, merciless and cold
He brought up the Thirteen Eagles
as killing machines
Feelings' is not a word in his dictionary
If one member shows slight affection for another
they'll be beaten up
How Yoh Xi Hung thinks and feels
is how the Thirteen Eagles think and feel
Absolute obedience is necessary
I am an orphan
and was sold to the gang at seven
I did all the bad things imaginable
and became numb to cruelty
I can't remember how many children there were...
at the start
Over ten years, the coward, the disobedient
those who didn't progress in kung fu, the kind hearted
...have all been killed
Only 13 people are left
Thirteen Eagles?
Thirteen Eagles
There are only 9 of them left now
Yes...the story you made up is interesting
If you really did all those bad things
all your life only to end up being
persecuted by Yoh Xi Hung
don't you find it ironical?
I feel you had no reason to rebel against Yoh Xi Hung
I was tired of killing
I don't believe you
You said the Thirteen Eagles
were trained to be killing machines
just like extensions of his sword
It's strange. Do killing weapons have thoughts
which spur them to rebel?
Weapons won't rebel
but he forgot one point
I am still a human being
You appear like a man but more like a rogue
You...
Naturally you don't believe I became tired of killing
I had a strong reason for rebelling against him
One day Yoh Xi Hung assembled the Thirteen Eagles
...in the Jui Yi Hall for a conference
We hurried there
Children
Yes
Godfather, we wish you
health and good fortune
Good, I just received information that
the 32 security bureaus in the central area
will jointly guard a cargo of royal treasures
which include the invaluable red sea ginseng
In few days the treasure reaches deserted Yu Fai town
Do you now understand
why I have called this meeting?
Yes
Godfather, nothing is impossible
in fulfilling your wish
Right, heaven and earth can't
stand in our way
You're right
Sooner or later we'll be great
so we have to expand our territory
There should not be any lack of money
What I worry about is...
the 32 security bureaus will bring along a lot of men
And I've heard the leader is Golden Spear Tao De Biu
Godfather, you should have confidence in us
All of us have been to many battles
Have we ever failed you?
That's what I want to hear
Good, lads, await my orders to set off
Robbers, get up
Robbers
Quick...
The Thirteen Eagles of lron Boat gang
What, the old thief Yoh Xi Hung has come too?
It's below his lordship to fight dummies
Leave him to me, you go and chase those robbers
Chase them
Yes
Go
Quick...Iet's go
Go on, don't worry about me
Go quickly
Chik
Don't worry about me
Catch it...
Chase them quickly
Aunt, teach us how to write, okay?
Okay
What is this character?
Sky
Write one more time, aunt
What is this character?
Jiang, isn't that your name?
Yes, so is yours
Yes
I write it for you to see
That's right
You can't come out, go and lie down
I'll get my family
Brother...he's awake
He's up?
That's good, let's go and see
Mom
Come here
Mom
I already said
he's strong and will wake up
Don't get up, lie down...
Lie down first
Yes, lie for a while, don't get up
You've been unconscious for 3 days and nights
I found you on my way home in the woods
I am indebted to you for saving my life
Don't mention it
How were you wounded?
I was ambushed by my enemy
and was wounded
Luckily I escaped quickly, otherwise...
Your name please?
Cheung Gia Ran
And you?
Jiang Shun Kwai
Brother Jiang
This is my mother
Aunty
My wife
Madam
My sister Siu Fung
Miss Fung
Brother feel free
to make yourself at home
Good...
Recuperate well
It's late, what are you thinking?
I thought about it thoroughly
I was too strong willed
and succumbed to my temper
My actions were tainted by some evil elements
What I've seen these two months
are kind, friendly faces
I have been listening to ways to live in harmony
As I grew up
I had not enjoyed family life
I will always cherish this
Miss Fung, do you believe I have killed people?
Yes, I do
How come?
If you didn't kill others...
why would they come and kill you?
Don't you find me frightening?
No, I believe you'll never kill again
Miss Fung, do you want to know
what I was like?
What matters is from now on
you know how to lead a good life
Lead a good life?
Yes
You must remember that how to lead a good life
Godfather
What's the matter?
Your day of vengeance has come
Yien Lin
Yes
You've found him?
Yes
Wan Da has already found where Wang An is hiding
He's in the South Village near Tai Ran
Wang An
I thought I could not find you
You had me captivated such that I suffered for 2 years
now I have a chance to take revenge
Godfather we will depart right now
and bring Wang An to you
We are going now
Good, it doesn't matter if he's dead or alive
Godfather...
Chik Ming Sing is back
Chik...
Chik
Godfather
Chik
Godfather I'm back
It's good you've returned
I can relax now
Yien Lin couldn't find you
so I thought you have been caught by the authorities
How could that be?
You taught me I should not endanger my colleagues
I'd rather be killed
than be taken alive
Chik, I swore as long as you haven't come back
I'll not touch the loot
It'll always be in the vault
Thank you for your kind love
Lost it?
No
Then why haven't you brought it back with you?
Godfather
I said...
these 13 silver plaques have been made by my own hands
It symbolizes your life
and the whole lron Boat gang
Godfather
It represents me too
yet you could forget
I dare not
Dare not?
You have deliberately disobeyed me
Godfather, you...
Godfather, I know I'm wrong
Godfather
Forget it
Chik
Yes
Let me ask you
Of the four Jiang Nan man hunters I often talk about
how many have been killed?
Three
Who's left?
Devil's Plight Wang An
This time you'll really see the devil
Wang An's kung fu is not bad
Failure is not an option
Kill him and let godfather be happy
Big brother, when this is finished
I want to see a friend
Can I return a few days later?
A woman?
Chik has fallen in love with a woman
Big brother, Wang An is hiding in this valley
We must have got it wrong
There is only a family in this valley
and there are no other roads
What are we doing there?
We're not wrong at all
I passed here last month
and saw Wang An come out of this house
I was alone so I stayed away from him
Big brother, stop
You must be wrong
You are wrong
Wang An, come out
Come here, quick
Follow mother inside
Wait
Please don't kill the wrong person
He isn't Wang An, he saved my life
His name is Jiang Shun Kwai
What would you know? You haven't seen him
I've seen him, he's Wang An
That's right
Would you really assist him and kill my brother?
So she is the woman you have fallen in love with
Not bad
Chik Ming Sing, tell her the purpose of your trip here
Big brother, you're pushing him
How can he say it...
in front of his lover?
Let's finish the job
Stop fighting
Big brother, listen to me
What are you doing?
Listen to me
Chik
Mother...
Dear
Brother Jiang
Get lost
Brother
Chik, you're nuts
Big brother, why must we kill everyone?
I beg you, let her go
Big brother
Godfather said we should leave no one alive
You heard that yourself, dare you disobey?
Miss Fung
Didn't you chop off Wang An's head?
I couldn't bear to do it
You dare talk of feelings
I taught you this?
Did I teach you to feel?
Godfather, listen
Don't forget
a minor punishment is 72 flogs, a major one is 36
You didn't only see me punish people once
so it is obvious you deliberately rebel against me
I dare not, forgive me
I can do that
but you must knock them down one by one
otherwise you'll be punished
Godfather
Attack
Brothers, you...
Wait
Yes
I was wrong
You admit you're wrong?
I don't think you mean it
I am truly wrong
Let no more be said, torture him
I see
Since then you became tired of killing
right?
Yes
From the start of this incident
to the end of the other matter
I made up my mind to leave Yoh Xi Hung
I don't think so
The reason why you don't kill
is you have fallen in love with Miss Siu Fung
Were it somebody else
who is not emotionally involved with you
...it might not have changed your ways
Right, further up is the desert
Why don't you turn back?
There's no hurry
Your pursuers will soon catch up with you
Look
Looks like he's been dead for a few days
Damn, it must be the work of Chik Ming Sing
Chase
Friend, listen to my advice and turn back
You cannot run forever
See? They are hot on our heels
As I suggested
shall we divert their strength?
Would that not make me owe you more?
Let's go
Chik Ming Sing, you're cruel
You won't show mercy even to your brothers
When have you shown mercy to me?
I have made efforts to find this plot of land
to be your burial ground, satisfied?
Lure him into the woods
Chik Ming Sing, godfather says you're smart
but you've fallen into our trap this time
Your three-sectioned stick is useless in the woods
Don't worry, I won't kill you now
I'll take you back alive to face godfather
You're dreaming
Wait
I'll show you something
Double Sword in Sleeve
These two are difficult to deal with
What weapon did you use to kill them?
It's not on them? Axe
Axe? I asked too much
Rising up from the Heavenly-Mountain
The moon lay over the clouded ocean
And the wind that has come a thousand miles,
beats at the Jade Gate battlements...
China marches its men down Baideng Road, while
Tartar troops peer across blue waters of the bay...
And since not one battle famous in history,
sent all its fighters back again,
The soldiers turn round looking toward the border,
eyes and think of home with wistful
And of those tonight in the upper chambers,
who toss and sigh and cannot rest.
Friend, why do you suddenly have a heavy heart?
Have you changed?
This poem is Li Po's Kwan Shan Yue
It represents some peoples' sentiments
meaning one could not return to one's home
I am even worse
I have no home at all
I knew you are no ordinary man
and you carry a lot of hate, right?
Right
I am full of hate
I am looking for an arch villain
What an irony, I am escaping from my enemies
and you're searching for your enemy
Are you joking with me?
Do I look like I'm joking?
Can I help?
No
Your future looks bleak
Chik, if you really kill Yoh Xi Hung, are you...
going to restructure the gang & become boss yourself?
Are you going to recruit some killers under you?
No such interest
I will search all over for someone
Search for someone?
I have sworn that if I die...
I hope I will die at his hands
because I owe him a blood debt
Who is this?
Se Ma Sun's son-in-law Cheuk Yi Fan
Have you heard of him?
No
What does he do?
Se Ma Sun is a prodigy of the martial arts world
and opposes all villains
Once he thwarted Yoh Xi Hung's plans
to rob official salaries at sea
and created a hatred between them
So Yoh Xi Hung used the most cruel way
to take revenge
Father
Master...
Father
Mercy
What? Getting soft?
Father...
Master
Mother...sister
You...Yoh Xi Hung, don't think you've succeeded
I curse you for killing my family
you'll die an even meaner death
As long as I don't die by your hands that's fine
You'd better save your strength
to report in hell
Father...
Se Ma Sun's daughter Se Ma Yu Chin
is the wife of Cheuk Yi Fan, Double Sword Sleeve
This last is for you
Father
I am looking for an escape
just let me give birth to the child then die
Good
Since we can't kill Cheuk Yi Fan as he's not here
just as well he kill his off spring
Chik, I let you kill her
Godfather, she is a pregnant woman
You've really changed?
Chik, you used to be the first to kill and rob
yet tonight you won't kill even one person
I know
You still hate me for killing Wang An, right?
No
Then let's do it
Are you killing or not?
Yes
My husband will avenge me
You can't kill a pregnant woman
Sir, you can't kill me
No explanation will do
Just brace yourself
it'll be over soon
Kill
You killed her?
I made a decision at that moment
I could not die then
No one on Se Ma Sun's family wanted to die
so I had to live on to kill Yoh Xi Hung
Can you do it alone?
I know it's almost impossible
but I must succeed
Don't forget, at his side are always
Lin Gin Ming and Fan Lun
Let's go further
we'll meet Vulture Yien Lin, Blue Eagle Wan Da
The Owl Shou Kao Shing
I've heard that among the Thirteen Eagles
Vulture Yien Lin has the best kung fu
The second one is Blue Eagle Wan Da
and the third is you Black Eagle Chik Ming Sing
You're well informed on the lron Boat gang's background
You'll have a hard time fighting them alone
if you don't have a partner like me
you will die
Friend, we're not related in any way
You've already helped me twice
Not for fame or money
so why did you do it?
Not for anything, it doesn't matter
Then can you tell me your name?
Those words again, homeless...
That's enough...
Damn, what rotten luck
The first batch has gone for half a month
the second batch has gone for ten days
Why is there no news of them?
Right
Chik doesn't have guts to travel by sea
This is entire dominated by us
We have reconnaissance in the city
Then there are those officials
who are dying to capture him
That's why we have concluded
he must have gone into the desert
But...
Big brother, there is no way that Chik could
...handle a few people by himself
Don't underestimate him
His kung fu is good and he is smart
Godfather picked him because of these attributes
But he misjudged him
not realising he would be a rebel
I don't respect Chik
Alright...stop arguing
Ten miles from here is a small town
Pass that
is the barren desert
Tomorrow we'll check it out
Sir
Boss...we have customers
At last
Please, sir
Will this be enough to buy your inn?
I can't sell it, it's my business
How can you do this?
Can you outrun a rabbit?
Sir, naturally the rabbit will run faster
Is your head harder than the table?
Sir, what exactly do you want?
I want you to get out of here right now
Yes
Get lost quicker than a rabbit
Yes
Or I'll smash your head
Wait
Don't forget the silver on the table
You can use it for lodgings and food
Come back after a month
Yes
There'll be a couple of corpses here by then
There'll be a couple of corpses here?
Please bury them
Yes
Let's go
Wait
Leave your clothes
My clothes?
Sir, l...
Strip
Yes
So you want to dress up as a waiter?
Yes
This is the last inn before the desert
unless they don't come after you
if they do they must rest here
But they won't be easily deceived
You're wrong,
the smarter one is, the easier one will be deceived
because they think they're smart
Are you still around?
Get lost
Yes, let's go
We must get rid of one of them first
I agree
Waiter, prepare food
Great...gentlemen...here's business
Gentlemen...have a seat
It's rare to have customers at our place
This is for taking the dust off you
this is for soothing your weariness
this is for quenching your thirst
Waiter, ask your boss to come out
I am the owner and
the waiter
I take care of
the whole place here
Just tell me what you need
Then prepare a month's ration
for the three of us
Yes...
Come back
Have you seen two groups of people, seven altogether
pass by here towards the desert?
Let me think
Ah, I've got it...
There was a one-eyed gentlemen
who was very generous with his money
The bone is crushed
I ask you again, have you seen someone
aged about twenty seven, dressed in black
with a three-sectioned stick pass here?
I can't speak, please let go first
Speak up
Yes...
The batch last time also asked about this person
I told them but they wouldn't believe me
and headed towards the desert to look for him
What didn't they believe?
The fact that, that person in black was...
helping me with the dishes and other chores upstairs
They didn't believe me
Impossible. Would Chik work here?
Right, he can't bear such tasks
What does he look like?
Ordinary looking, under thirty
dressed in black
Don't let his huge appearance deceive you
he is lazy and eats a lot; not a good thing
Right, also his leg seems to have some problem
Let me see...ah yes, it's his left leg
He walks like this, see?
He's walking with a limp
He seems to have a huge problem with his leg
Enough
Old Six
Yes
Follow him and have a look
Yes
Gentlemen may I go now?
Go on
I'll go and prepare food and wine
I'll be right with you
Please
Get up
Get up...
Cao Gao Shing
It's you
One down
It won't be easy to deal with Yien Lin and Wan Da
What about an ambush?
It's risky
We must kill one with only one strike
otherwise...
Let's do it then
Stay up here, I'll go down
Be alert
Be careful of Yien Lin's Lethal Ring
and his head, which can crush a rock
Here's food and wine
That gentleman said the kid in the kitchen
is not the person you're looking for
He's gone to the toilet with stomach trouble
That's good, he'll eat more
We have a house rule
the first pot of wine is for travellers from afar
It's free
Cheers
Waiter, where's the toilet?
In the alley behind the kitchen
Old Two, go and take a look
The back of the kitchen
Not a bad knife, right?
How much has Chik Ming Sing paid to hire you?
Can I be bought?
Then who are you?
Killer of pigs
Old Two
Don't waste your breath, he can't answer you
nor can he help you
Chik, even if someone helped you to kill me
you can't escape Godfather
I don't want to run anymore, I'll go and see him
Friend, in such circumstances you should not speak
too much, or you'll get soft and can't bear to kill
Do you want to know who I am?
You are...
I'll say it only once, listen carefully
I am Cheuk Yi Fan
Chik
A bunch of nincompoops
No news up to now
In a few days we'll go to lron Boat gang
You are aware Yoh Xi Hung's kung fu
is not easy to deal with
He also has two loyal followers
Grey Eagle and Yellow Eagle
It's not an even match
you should...
I should flee to escape death, right?
Yes
Aren't you afraid to die?
Die? Everyone is afraid to die
the question is what is one dying for?
I did too many bad deeds
and I hope I could atone for my sins with my life
If I could live, all the better
but if I die, I die in peace
You have helped me a lot
and you have saved my life
I should involve you in this
Chik Ming Sing, I haven't helped you in vain
I may be an enemy
What do you mean?
Don't get me wrong
I am just saying there is no certainty in this world
I was just stating a universal truism
Maybe your enemy is my enemy
and you have done me a favour
We have a complicated relationship
It's actually quite simple
We're getting more intimate
We need each other
Your enemy is Yoh Xi Hung
mine is the lron Boat gang
You have a grudge against them?
Everyone wants to kill outlaws
not necessarily because of vengeance
Excluding you
Unless you team up with you
there is no better way
Chik Ming Sing is back...
Chik Ming Sing, you dare come back...
Traitor
I guessed right, Chik will always be Chik
You've killed Yien Lin
Why haven't you fled?
Why return to die?
If I don't kill you I won't have peace
This person must have come to accompany you to die
Wrong, I've come to dig your grave
Let's see about that
Double Sword in Sleeve Cheuk Yi Fan
Correct
Chik, so much for good judgement
you've found an enemy to help you
You'll die for sure
So it's really you
Why didn't you kill me on the road
to avenge your wife?
I want to find the truth about
the death of Se Ma Sun's family
But I have said earlier, our grudge
should not have lasted till now
because we should join hands and kill
our common enemy Yoh Xi Hung
Alright then
Yoh Xi Hung, you've always eradicated your enemy
but you left me alive
That means your time has come
Although you two have joined forces
you might not gain the upper hand
Chik, death or alive is before you
Listen to me
Help me get rid of Cheuk Yi Fan
and I'll forget the past
Cheuk Yi Fan, you
want to use him to get rid of me
then kill him afterwards
Chik, you've been tricked
You should know that getting rid of me isn't that easy
You tried your best
but you'll die ultimately
I will persist to avenge my wife
Chik, you'd better help me get rid of him
I don't think your three-sectioned stick
is a match for 'Double Sword in Sleeve'
Let's join forces
Don't be tricked by him
Would you forget I killed the twelve Eagles?
They're all dead, what's the big deal?
Besides, you didn't kill them all by yourself
I have no children and the gang's...
entire wealth will be bequeathed to you one day
Chik Ming Sing, you must understand;
If we fight, he'll be the winner
But there is nothing to support your promise
You've been with me since you were young
when have I gone back on my word
...and lied to you?
Godfather, you must stand by your words
Stand by your words
Cheuk Yi Fan, he killed
your pregnant wife
If you want to take revenge...please
Dog
Your loved ones
have all died because of you
Friend, I can't change my ways
besides, I'd rather stay alive than have a good death
Chik, what are you waiting for?
Do it, quick
Yoh Xi Hung, your cruelty over these twenty years
...have been wasted
So it's easy to raise someone...
but difficult to control his heart
I have at last understood this
and am able to discern right and wrong
Cheuk Yi Fan, take your revenge
Your wife's murderer is still alive
My enemies are all dead
I swore I'll die by your sword
If you don't kill me...
your wife would not rest in peace
