Welcome.

Today is the fifth graduation ceremony of our college.

The commanding officer of our college will now present

the award of distinction to the most successful cadet.

First, Jeng-Ko Cheng.

Cadets dismissed!

Well done, well done.

Hey, Jeng-Ko Cheng!

The CO wants you.

Yes sir.

Congratulations.

You make me very proud,

and that's personal, you know that.

Sit down.

Uncle.

Sit down.

You have done very well at the college,

and there's something you should know.

You have given me something to work for.

I would be an orphan if you hadn't taken care of me

after my father died and left me.

I owe it all to you.

But you've done very well.

Now you have a chance to do even better.

I have a job here that must be carried out by a good man.

Headquarters has asked me to find one,

they want the best one here.

You graduated number one and so I want you for the job.

All the information is right here.

You must study it carefully.

I won't let you down.

Good.

Did you ever know just how your father died?

Didn't you say it was the plague?

No, he died in jail.

Someone betrayed him.

You know who did it?

Lun Taichen.

Where is he now?

I don't know exactly.

But I do know it's somewhere in the same region

your job is taking you.

You must do your best to find out where he is.

Don't lose this chance to avenge your father.

Here is all I know about it.

It is more useful to you now.

Please take it with you.

I hope you...

I'll get the bastard!

What?

It's you!

Well then, what's this?

Ah, not much really.

It's a little something from Lun Sanye!

Hey, guess who else is here, huh?

Scarface, it's you!

Hey, come on in, have a seat, please.

Sit down, sit down, have some tea, come on.

And these gentlemen are?

Oh, allow me to introduce them.

Iron-Fist Pain.

Tiger-Wang.

And Pigtail Pang.

Known for his pigtail.

All right, from now on I will need your help.

Sit down, sit down.

Sanye just sent someone here.

He asked if anybody had tried to contact him.

I think he must have meant you five, huh?

Right, he wants us.

Hey, we're starving hungry.

Once we get some food,

well then after that, then we can talk about things.

Hurry up and get some water,

and then prepare our guests some food and wine!

Listen, please excuse me now.

I'll go tell Sanye, then I'll be right back.

Sorry.

That's all right.

I'm sorry.

Xiao-Mei!

Let's get moving.

Here sir.

Here's your wine.

This thing is so small I couldn't even get one mouthful!

Yes, sir.

Hurry up, go on!

Make quick, or you'll get a sore head.

Yes sir, yes.

Friends, friends, listen, listen.

When you're finished,

Sanye would like to have a talk with you.

Hey, what's wrong?

What happened?

We're stuck in the hole!

What do we do?

This thing's too heavy for me.

I can't get it out.

Hey, that shit looks pretty good, huh?

Sure.

Let's go and get a closer look.

Gentlemen, please give us a hand.

Yes please, would you please help us?

Shall we?

Yes yes, I'm sure we can help you.

You must get down.

I'm blind, you know.

Oh, I'll help you.

Careful.

Hey, hey hey.

What are you doing?

No, don't!

Brother, come quickly!

Help, brother, come help me!

Help me!

You drop that sword,

or you'll end up dead!

Help me, help me, help me!

Somebody help me!

Help me!

Lady, are you okay?

Thanks.

Xiao-Mei, this man just saved us.

Don't worry.

Those two bastards, I'll finish them off.

Thank you.

Thanks, sir, may I know your name?

I want to thank you.

I didn't do much.

Don't worry about anything.

Well, can I touch your face then?

I can't see anything, but,

if I touch, I can remember your face.

Come on, let's get this cart fixed.

This way.

Through there.

Come on.

This way.

Open up!

First time here?

Open up.

This way, follow me.

Who are they?

No idea.

What do you think, eh?

I don't know.

This way.

Come on, here, here.

Here, this way.

Come on, in there.

Please sit down, please wait here.

I'll tell Sanye.

Sanye.

My five men are here?

Yes.

Show them in.

Sure.

Gentlemen, please come this way.

Sanye, hello, how are you?

Good, good.

You men must be tired.

Sit down, sit down.

Please, sit down.

Sanye, it looks as if something strange

is going on here now.

Yes, that's right.

And that's why I've brought you in here.

Well, what's going on?

I've been told that the police

have sent someone here to get me.

So I, uh...

Well don't worry about it.

With us guys all here now, you'll be safe.

Good.

Yes, right.

Did you say there would be seven of you coming?

Yeah, they'll be here soon.

Oh, good, good.

This money should be enough for a while.

If not, just tell me.

I've something I just want you two to hear,

so you three wait outside?

Yeah, okay.

Good.

Hang on.

If the Playboy and Tasheng arrive,

tell them to see Sanye.

Sure.

Excuse me.

Here's your tea.

Hey, there.

The two girls are right here now!

Hey you got so many pretty girls there,

where'd you get 'em from, eh?

None of them here especially deserve you.

Not too bad, eh?

You're so bad.

What do we play with this cash?

Dice.

Four by six, I got it!

Come on.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Wait.

Place your bet.

Let's play, and let's bet.

Four, five, six, I win.

Okay, let's play.

Four, five, six, I win.

Hold it.

Loaded.

You bastard.

Fellows!

Where's Chang?

He's dead.

How's that?

Someone beat him to death.

Who was that guy?

I don't know.

Where's Scarface?

Tell me!

What is it?

To heal my arm.

He's at Sanye's, go take him.

Yeah, sure.

No wait, where's that bastard?

He's heading this way.

Quick, close the door!

Come on.

Hey wake up, you stupid old bastard,

get out of here, stop that drinking,

come on, get up!

The bastard.

Cool it.

Who's there?

Anyone there?

Why don't we just go and get him?

Listen, he's already killed one man.

Let's not get into trouble.

Why don't we see what Sanye says first, then act.

How come no one's alive?

I'm alive here.

Who killed him?

Me.

What for?

He tried to molest this lady.

Oh?

Is that true?

Yes.

Yes, I saw.

Not you.

You sure, lady?

Sure.

You killed him for that?

They were in trouble.

The two thugs tried to kill me.

Two?

The other?

He's gone, ran away.

You were together?

Uh no, she, she's Xiao-Mei.

I was bringing her here,

and we met this gentleman on the road.

Why are you here?

To see her on to the Widow Shu.

Oh.

Through town, go past some trees,

and it's right there on your left.

Thank you, sir.

Do you know who it was you killed?

I don't.

He's Chang Tasheng.

He's a known murderer.

I really wanted him.

Okay, let's go and talk now.

Right.

I see you're police officer Jeng-Ko Cheng.

And I'm the sheriff in this town, Carter Beo.

How come the town's empty?

You may well ask.

It's recent.

It wasn't always like this,

but since Lun Sanye came here with his bullies,

everybody got frightened and ran.

How many are left?

About 100.

Not more, but most of them are Sanye's men though.

Well if they are Sheriff, why not arrest them?

I would like that.

But I can't get evidence,

and no one is willing to be a witness.

Even if they were, it's no use.

On my own, I couldn't do a thing.

You could ask for troops.

The provincial government

would like to stamp out these killers.

It's no use.

This is the junction of three provinces with different laws,

three or four miles,

they only have to cross the border and they are free.

There's nothing I can do.

It will take a man like you.

But what's he up to?

Just recently, nothing.

He's wanted by all the provinces,

so he's been keeping quiet.

You have ins?

Just one.

One by Lun Sanye and some strangers over the today I think.

Looks bad.

You what?

You had better stay here, get washed up.

I'll bury the body.

Fine.

He may kill me if he's Lun's man though.

Chang was one of us!

We need revenge.

Don't rush things.

We have to find out first who the bastard is.

I wonder if he's the man sent by the government.

If he's sent by the government, then we've gotta get him!

Even if not, I say let's kill him.

No, Sanye's job isn't done yet.

Let's not cause more trouble.

Then what the hell are friends for?

It makes no difference!

You're right.

Sanye, why don't we send the innkeeper?

Right, send him to find out

just what this young kid is up to.

Once again, you want what?

I want the murderer of Chang Tasheng.

Oh?

And who wants him?

Huh?

Me.

On what grounds?

Well, what about Lun Sanye?

Lun Sanye?

Yeah.

He has no right.

Huh?

What about this?

Who are you anyway?

Habashan, known as Iron-Fist Pain.

What do you want?

Chang Tasheng was one of us.

Really?

Sure was!

That's just too bad.

Look.

Hey, we better go back.

No way, we want that man!

And if you can't?

Then I'll kill you!

That won't do you any good.

So, get out.

Hold it.

This is government property.

No violence.

I don't care!

Don't you start fighting here.

You'd better ask Lun Sanye.

Bastard, come on out, don't hide in there!

If you fight here, you must kill me.

You had the guts to fight me out of town.

Now you're here, let's see you!

Shut up!

Excuse me.

Let's go, come on.

You bastard!

Sheriff?

What is it you want?

Uh, I...

You want me?

Uh, yes.

My aunt has invited you for dinner tonight.

Oh yes, please come to eat dinner.

Thank you.

Sheriff, you're invited, please come.

Oh, good.

I'll be there, thank you.

Good, bye bye.

Let's go.

I, uh.

Be quiet.

Just a family dinner, and have a drink, okay?

Cheers.

Come on, help yourself.

Drink up.

Oh Mrs. Shu, I've drank enough.

Well have some more.

You're the one who saved Xiao-Mei.

We owe you a lot.

Oh, that's just my duty, it's nothing.

Drink up, come on Mr. Jeng.

You could help this old fool.

Thirst and respect, huh?

Mr. Wu, why did you say you were a fool?

If I tell you son, you'll still never know why.

Oh yes, I understand you.

Well, I feel like

I'm half drunk and half sober,

half of me is mad and half of me a fool.

I work half a day, and I get half day's pay.

Everything is just half and half again.

Well then, you would be

half an old bald head and half a young man,

and half of you is man,

and the other half is woman.

Shame on you, how can you say such things to your elders?

Nevermind, come on, let's all have a drink.

Bastard!

I'll tear him to pieces!

Hey, what are you saying?

Let's not worry about those things

when we have these two beautiful young ladies

to enjoy ourselves with.

I'm sleeping.

Hey, what's wrong?

He's so cold to us, we've done nothing to him.

Didn't you see his pigtails?

He acts just like a woman!

He is more like a woman than a man!

Well, you're a man.

So, does he love you?

Shut your mouth!

Come on, let's go.

No wait, don't rush.

No, I can't wait!

If you rush, then you're gonna spoil the mood.

What do you want?

I want you to come and undress me.

But not using your hands.

But how? I can't wait!

Just how am I gonna do that?

You idiot, you'd use your mouth.

Well? Do you like that?

Yeah, that's great, yeah.

Mr. Cheng?

Mr. Cheng?

Mr. Cheng, what troubles you?

Nothing.

If nothing, why are you out here alone?

I'm resting.

I can't see, but I can listen.

You never say much, or even laugh.

Right.

I am troubled.

Everyone has some worry.

You mean, you have troubles?

Naturally.

Mother's dead.

I just have an aunt, she is kind,

but that's all.

Actually, you should worry about your eyes.

It's no use.

Oh, no.

If you go to the city, find a foreign doctor,

maybe you'll see again.

Really?

It's the only chance.

Sure.

But where do I find the money?

Don't worry, when I'm finished here, I'll take you.

Thank you!

Mr. Cheng, thank you.

Xiao-Mei!

Yes?

The sheriff is leaving.

I'm coming.

Who's there?

It's me, Ho-Cheng Wei.

What do you want?

Can I come in?

Dammit, come in!

That way.

I've got it!

See you soon.

Yes, goodbye.

Goodbye.

That's enough.

Sheriff, are you okay?

Sure.

Come on, we'll take you home.

Please come in.

Please, who are you looking for?

Who are you?

I'm known as Pigtail Pang.

I don't want you.

Well I'm here.

So no matter who are you, you come outside,

and we'll see just what you're made of.

Go on.

Take her away.

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Get off her, let go, let go!

Pang!

I've been waiting for you!

Get him!

Listen.

Spare my life.

Last time I spared you, you didn't learn.

It's not my idea.

I disobeyed orders.

Who's orders?

Talk!

We're all hired.

Who by then?

Lun, Lun Sanye.

The great whip.

Good.

Great whip.

That's some great throwing.

But I'll never be able to do anything as good as he does.

Sanye!

What's wrong?

Wide-Eye, Tiger-Wang and Playboy,

all of them killed by that young kid!

What?

Where is he now?

He's out front, fighting like mad with our men.

Let's go.

No.

Like this.

Hide yourselves, wait for my sign,

then use your knives.

Right.

Hold it!

So you're Lun Sanye.

Uh sure.

Truly, brother, I'm sorry I didn't meet you

when you first arrived in this place.

Sorry.

Yeah, but you sent your men to come and meet me,

and I'm grateful.

Ah, it was nothing.

Maybe there was a mistake there.

Wanna come to my house?

Please?

Please.

Sit down, sit down.

Uh, what are you called?

Jeng-Ko Cheng.

I'm a police officer from Shandong.

I'm here to arrest you.

You see? For these 19 crimes.

Ah, never mind.

I really shouldn't have made you

come all this way to arrest me.

I'll go quickly with you.

Well then?

What do you say?

Ah, you are a government officer, right?

So what?

When you get promoted to officer rank,

or you've been arranged to become police commissioner,

how much money do you think you'll make each month?

Working for government, money's not important.

Ah, let's not talk so foolishly.

We can be good friends.

What do you mean?

Let me free.

No way.

The law is right.

Come on.

Why are you being so stubborn?

Law is dead.

But we are alive.

Why don't you be a little more sensible.

Come on, look.

I'll give you $10,000, you can do as you want.

Eh, well then?

Officer Jeng?

I refuse!

You keep quiet.

You want me to charge you with bribery?

What?

Well, bribery would just make one more charge.

It won't make much difference.

Huh.

I wanna ask you, did you come from Wayne County?

Huh?

I've been around, in all parts of this area.

But not as far as a county of Wayne.

You were an accountant, that right?

Me, accountant?

Can't make a good living these days,

don't you agree?

One thing.

Was your name Lun Taichen,

and did you know Cheng Tachwan?

Cheng Tachwan?

Cheng Tachwan?

Cheng Tachwan?

Sir, these men.

Are you Cheng Tachwan?

Sure, what is it?

A search.

A search?

What's wrong?

Search.

Hey kiddo, you got a visitor.

Lun Taichen.

Go get some money.

Go into town quickly.

Do something to get me out of this place.

I'm innocent.

Boss, selling drugs is serious, it's hard to fix.

What's more...

You see?

You are completely broke.

In fact, you owe over $4,000.

You!

You, you, son of a bitch!

Lun Taichen, you're a bastard.

You betrayed me!

Madame, won't you?

Really?

Cheng Tachwan was my father.

I was young then, studying in Tensen.

And now.

That's enough!

You're mistaken.

No mistake!

Witnesses?

I will be a witness.

He is Lun Taichen.

He's your father's old accountant.

And he caused your father's death,

by betraying him and watching him die in jail.

And then he drove your mother to insanity.

Shut up!

Who are you?

I'm Old Honshu, Jeng's old servant.

I know you stole that factory from them,

and then all their land,

and after that you got rid of

every last one of their servants.

But here you are, hunted by the police.

You, you, ran away that night.

I met you a few years ago,

and I've been following you ever since then,

just waiting for the chance to get my revenge.

I want to see you die before my very own eyes!

You're telling lies!

Honshu!

You go!

Right.

Come with me!

Uncle.

Where's Lun Sanye?

He escaped.

You okay?

Nevermind.

You okay?

Lun Sanye.

Lun Sanye?

Tell me, what happened to Mei?

Gone.

They've gone.

Where'd they go?

To the mountains.

Allow me.

It's okay, Xiao-Mei.

Spare me, I beg you!

Mr. Cheng, let me go!

Let you go?

You killed so many people, I'm putting you in jail!

Brother Jeng, you're going.

You will come back?

Just as soon as I can.

Really?

Of course, and then I'll take you to see a doctor.

Take care.

Let's go.

See you!

See you.
