Episode 19 Lions Bridge Winehouse

I heard you two fighting outside the door

Originally

it was Jinlian's fault

But today, Dalang, it's yours

She's been doing her best

to seek treatment for you

day in, day out

You're angry

I know that

Three of the five jars were broken

If you don't take your medicine

there are two jars left to lose

Dalang

Don't you want to wait for your brother to get back?

Dalang

It was my fault

I was cheated by Ximen Qing

and he ended up kicking you

If you don't take your medicine

you are not forgiving me

If you take your medicine

when Wu Song gets back

I'll tell him everything myself

and he may punish me at will

By refusing to take your meds

you're going to kill me

I'm begging you

It tastes so weird

It's for sweating

You'd better drink it while it's hot

Jinlian, hold it steady

Better to drink it all in one gulp

Drink

What kind of medicine are you giving me?

You…

You filthy rats

Brother

It hurts so

Jinlian, quick

Get a quilt

Cover him with a quilt

Cover him with a quilt

Cover him

My wife

Ah, my intestine is broken

Don't scream, Dalang

Don't scream

You'll be okay in a minute

Help!

Don't scream

Don't scream, Dalang

Don't scream

Is it done yet?

My dear

Mr. Ximen

It's all right

It's all right

There is no time for this!

Clean it up

Dalang

My poor husband

Why did you die?

Every day, I sought treatment for you

and served your medicine

Yet you left me alone

without considering my feelings

How can you leave me all alone?

How am I supposed to live?

What happened to her husband?

I don't know

What happened to her husband?

Madam Wang

What happened to her husband?

I just heard her crying

It's been a while

I've no idea

Not a bit

Vinegar

He Jiu

Where are you going?

It's you, Master Ximen

I didn't see you

I'm going to Wu Dalang's home for an autopsy

Uncle Jiu

Excuse me

Let me have a word

Uncle Jiu

Sit at the head of the table, please

Who am I

to sit there?

Sit where you're told

You're going to inspect Wu Dalang's body

This is for your hard work

It's my job

Why should I take money from you?

Take it if I tell you to

Mr. Ximen

What else can I do for you?

Nothing

Just a dead man

A quilt is all you need

I don't have to tell you anything else

I'll reward you further

Liquor

Bring me a nice bottle of liquor

Buzz off

Make way for He Jiu

He Jiu is here. Stop crying

Crying like that

will ruin your health

He Jiu

Jinlian

Please stop crying

When did your husband die?

My husband

had pains in the heart for days

He didn't get better

even after dozens of decoctions

He died in the middle of the night

He left me…

Left me all alone

Jinlian

He Jiu

Do you see it now?

She is too young

to know anything

but cry

She doesn't know it's too hot to leave a body for long

He Jiu

You'd better sign the report

for encoffining soon

Fine

Wu Dalang

Go now

Your wife is here seeing you off

Life and death are decreed by fate

All grievances have ceased

Go in peace now

Dalang

Stop

Running away, huh?

Little jerk

Please stop

Stop beating him

He doesn't know any better

Beat him to death

There's no point killing him

If we hear anything more from you

we'll kill you

Let's see how many heads you have

Let's go

Memorial Tablet of Wu Dalang

Libation

What is it?

You killed my husband

What?

You regret it?

It's your fault

It's because of you that my family is broken

It's your fault

My dear

Keep your voice down

You drugged him yourself

It's your fault

All right. Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid

Mr. Ximen

I'm crumbling

under fear these days

Don't be afraid

If the sky falls

it will fall on me

You must assert

he died of heart pains

Mr. Ximen

When are you going to take me out?

I've missed you so much these days

Memorial Tablet of Wu Dalang

Purple Stone Street

Com-Commander Wu

Uncle

Yao…

Brother, Sister-in-law

I'm home

Libation

Memorial Tablet of Wu Dalang

Brother-in-law

What took you so long to come back?

Your brother had a hard time waiting

Brother!

Brother

How

did my brother die?

He caught a cold at night

and had pains in his heart

Whose medicine did he take?

He tried medicines from several shops

and didn't get any better

What did my brother say

when he died?

I wish he could have said something

It was at midnight

He left me alone

I had nowhere

to turn for help

Who carried out the autopsy?

He Jiu from the County Yamen did it

and presided over the cremation

I've got the signed report here

Go rest upstairs

I'll hold my brother's wake

tonight

Excuse me

Does Yun live here?

He moved away with his father

Where did they move to?

Out of Yanggu County, they said

Good sirs

Welcome

Come in

Have some tea

Commander Wu

Tell me the truth

Or I'll…

My father is dying

No money for medicine

No fleeing

Here you are

Why do you want to flee?

I just can't afford

to offend Ximen Qing

With me here

you don't have to be scared

They got your brother killed

Just tell me the truth

Coroner He

Buzz off

Commander Wu is here

I didn't know it was you

I'm sorry

Please forgive me

You inspected my brother's body

signed the report

and presided over the cremation, did you?

As you said

Look at it now and speak

What did my brother look like when he died?

There was congestion in the seven orifices

There were bite marks on the lip

Then why did you sign the report

and cremate his body?

I was forced to do it

Write a statement for me

And vouch for it at the County Yamen

Don't you worry

Commander Wu

I've kept pieces of your brother's bones

They are black

Which is a sign of poisoning

The money Ximen Qing gave me remains untouched

And here is a record of the cremation date

and the names of those who attended

That's my statement

My brother was poisoned by my sister-in-law

and Ximen Qing, the adulterer

These two bear witness to it

Please do me justice, my lord

Wu Song

You're a head constable of our county

I know a thing or two

about your brotherhood

I care much

and am deeply sorry

for your brother's death

But you can't prove

that he was killed

I can't bend the law

for you

Can't you see it, my lord?

My brother's bones are the proof

As the saying goes

To catch a thief, you have to get the stolen goods

To catch an adultery, you have to take the pair

You didn't catch them in the act

So there's nothing much to say

Wu Dalang once caught them in Wang's teahouse

and got kicked

But now he's dead

The dead cannot give testimony

Commander Wu

In any case concerning human life

we must examine the body

before questioning

I'll take my time

on this case

Your Excellency

You may leave

Your Excellency

Your Excellency!

Thank you so much

You're putting me in a difficult position

The lady in there

hasn't eaten nor drunk anything either

Anyone whose husband dies will be sad

Men do not know women's pain

Sir

Show mercy on me

Let me

bring in this bowl of porridge

Okay

Thanks

Ms. Wang

Ms. Wang

Ms. Wang

Jinlian

At least have one more bite

You don't know

I'm so unsettled

like I'm on fire

Besides, I can't get out

Tell you what

Wu Song reported to the County Yamen

that his brother

was poisoned

But

don't worry

Wu Song has no proof

and the county magistrate ignored him

Ms. Wang

Where is Ximen Qing now?

Why would he leave me here alone?

What a spoony!

You think

he really wants to marry you?

He told me so

I even killed for him

All men do that

When things go south, he's all for himself

Jinlian

Listen to me

When we have to

we both insist

that Ximen Qing did it

He is rich anyway

And he is also secretly in touch with the yamen

He's not helpless like us

See you

Get me two stacks of paper money, brush and paper

My brother passed away a few days ago

We've caused you all a lot of inconvenience

Now that I'm home

I have prepared some liquor and dishes to thank you

Please pay a visit to my home

I'm too busy with the shop to go

You're despising me

if you don't go

I'm not being unreasonable

It's just…

I can't have you doing this to me

Get up

I will go

Silver

Uncle Yao

Uncle Yao

Please pay a visit to my home

To be frank

although we live opposite each other

I don't know anything

about your family

Since we are neighbors

you must go today

Or don't blame me for my actions

Ms. Wang

Commander Wu

It's good that you're home

Thank you for taking care of my sister-in-law

after my brother died

I have prepared some liquor at home

and am inviting you to drop by

You see

It is indecent of me

to trouble you to invite me

rather than treat you on your return

Forget it

Just a cup of plain liquor

You

must go today

Fine

Well

Let me

I…

You're all…

All…

Ms. Wang

Honorable neighbors, please have a seat

Okay

Libation

Memorial Tablet of Wu Dalang

Neighbors

forgive my rudeness

for drinking a toast

without proper ceremony

That's very kind of you

We're…

In the presence of you neighbors

the culprit must pay for his wrong, and the debtor for his debt

I ask only

that you be witnesses today

But if anyone tries to go

don't be surprised if I change my tune

or even take his life

though I'll pay for it with my own

You old dog

Don't you move

Uncle Yao

Write it down

Trollop, tell me

Who killed my brother?

What are you looking at me for?

It's none of my business

Old dog

Don't try to deceive me

I know everything

If you don't tell me the truth

I'll cut you alive

I'll talk

It's Ximen Qing who killed your brother

Ask your sister-in-law

if you don't believe me

Trollop

Speak

Just say it

You try to incriminate me

when you're dying?

Say it

Brother, your spirit is near

Today I shall avenge you

Commander Wu

Spare my life

I'm begging you

Ximen Qing kicked your brother

and made her poison him

Spare me

Uncle

Write it down

That day Ximen Qing came to my teahouse

and said that he took a fancy to your sister-in-law

Drink this

Sir

A guest downstairs gave this to you

Please enjoy

I wonder what gift this is

Let me open it for you

Spare my life

Spare me

I'd spare you if you could bring my brother back to life

Rest in peace, Brother

I have avenged you

Everything you had in life

is with you now

A death sentence for killing is perfectly justified

I'm going to turn myself in now

You and I

shall meet in the grave

Wu Song

I was going to settle this case for you

And yet you made your own decision

and caused all this trouble

The crime I committed to avenge my brother

was proper and reasonable

Do whatever you want

I will die without complaint

"Whereas Madam Wang put in motion lust and adulterous desires"

"and whereas she instigated the woman to poison"

"and kill her husband"

"and whereas she told the woman to prevent Wu Song"

"from sacrificing to the memory of his brother"

"as a result of which he killed her"

"it is thus decided"

"that Madam Wang shall be executed by slow slicing"

It's all the old biddy's fault

Ruining someone who was once a dutiful wife

"Whereas Wu Song, although he was avenging his brother"

"when he fought and killed the adulterer Ximen Qing"

"and although he voluntarily surrendered"

"cannot be completely exonerated"

"He is to be given forty strokes on the back"

"tattooed with the mark of the criminal and exiled to Mengzhou"

We only heard of her beauty

but few people had ever seen her

Wu Dalang made delicious steamed buns though

The death of Ximen Qing served him right

Yanggu County is rid of one plague

Yeah

Wang's Tea

Brother

Everything is done

I'm leaving now

Yun, why are you…

My father died

Seal by Yanggu County Yamen

Take this

I don't have any family

left in the world

Me neither

When will you be back?

I will wait for you to come back

and teach me skills

I will wait for you

Next on Water Margin

You'll do it after feeding me and washing me up?

How many heads does Jiang the Gate Guard Giant have?

Why don't you go back with me, brother?

And we'll come back tomorrow

Let go of me

My lord, don't let him off!
