Are you a reporter?

Yes,

I am a reporter.

You're assassinating the Prince, right?

Ah... yes.

It's fun messing with you.

Take a picture for me.

Yes.

My name is Gao.

Three months ago,

I led a military squad to

on a secret mission.

But the Japanese discovered us.

Watch out ahead!

Watch your sides!

Bend your body!

Raise up slowly!

Shake firmly!

Load it onto your shoulder!

I hid in Taiping to recuperate.

Waiting to execute my orders.

That day, l heard noises on the streets.

A gigantic Buddha

was being escorted to the Japanese base.

At the same time,

a gang of bandits were assembling...

Charlatan

Cook Zhao

Kuei

Lady Dagger

Lassie

San Pao

Jen Fang,

I learned afterwards that

the gang was here on a rescue mission.

To break Fang out from

the army prison of local collaborators.

Captain Zhao

Here is the money

This is all l could get

How much is there?

800 silver coins

800 silver coins for your brother?

No way!

He is our most wanted man.

He is worth much more than this.

Watch out ahead!

Watch your sides!

What are you fools looking at?

Commander Morikawa Daisuke

When my ancestors were legends,

you barbarians were still drinking blood.

20,000 silver coins.

Not a penny less,

or this cannot be done.

Come on, Captain Zhao.

Do me a favor.

Take it.

...or leave it.

It's up to you.

Hey!

Hurry up!

Chinese swine

Hurry, swine

I could just break into the jail.

How do you plan to do that,

with all these Japs on the street?

20,000 silver coins!

Money talks.

I will take care of it for you,

or you can try to do it your way.

I would like to see how!

Grenade!

Hurry!

At the time,

I was hiding on the street corner,

and saw how it all happened.

Hurry!

Pull!

Hurry!

Two!

Three!

Boss!

Go!

Grandmother!

Grandmother.

I'm back.

I almost died but l survived.

Today is an important day.

Please give me your blessing.

I will come back after l succeed.

Mr. Gao.

Come on.

It's time.

Mr. Gao.

It's the Japanese

bandits.

We should hurry.

Okay.

You!

What is your name?

My name is Lucky.

Your master?

I don't know this guy.

Ah

Run.

When this woman smiles

...someone dies!

Run!

Getting married?

Today's the big day.

I'm on my way to my bride's house.

Well

What do we do now?

We didn't come all this way for a mule.

You guys are useless!

Fight the Japs if you have the guts!

Kidnapping is for cowards!

I dare you to say it again!

Bastards!

Cowards!

Bastards!

Where the hell is this place?

I'm not going anywhere!

I'm telling you!

I'll show you cowards what I am made of!

Write.

Write what?

Letter.

What letter?

Letter to your family.

Why?

For...

For ransom

Yeah.

No way.

What did you say?

I said...

...no goddamn way!

Write it or not?

I'll punch your face!

Write it or not?

Boss.

If that kid lives

...after all this torturing...

Let him stay.

We can use an extra hand on the ranch.

Kuei!

Wanna write it now?

Kuei!

Miss Fang is calling you.

I'll...

I'll make him write.

This Kuei is really a son-of-a-bitch.

Bao!

We need electricity!

Except for sunlight,

you can find everything here.

Heating system, drug store, electric generator.

Except for a purpose,

they have almost everything as well.

Courage, loyalty, spirit

And most importantly...

they have guns.

Lassie.

Over here.

Touchdown.

Get lost!

San Pao.

No fun.

Almost.

Kuei.

Come grab me instead.

Get lost.

Eat your dinner.

I'm goddamn hungry.

I said I'm goddamn hungry.

Do you hear me?

You guys have no humanity!

Two kingdoms at war

Envoys shouldn't be hanged or beheaded!

The bandit leader will be punished one day.

Bastards!

Son of a bitch!

You got the men!

You got the guns!

But you're not fighting the Japs!

Brother!

Brother.

Don't mind him.

You goddamn people have no decency!

It's okay.

You bunch of cowards!

Give me food!

That's what we call decency!

Over here.
