Blood Brothers (Chi ma) (刺馬)

What's the matter?

Officer Ma has been assassinated.

Everyone stay calm. The assassin was caught.

On your knees Down!

You felon...

Chang Wen Hsiang

Chang, you assassinated a royal officer.

Who ordered you to do it? Confess honestly.

Guards! Yes.

Impose heavy punishment. Right

Sir, please hold it.

I didn't run away after killing Ma Hsin I.

I just want to expose the truth to everyone.

Get me pen and paper. I'll make my statement

Convicted felon Chang Wen Hsiang...

He met Officer Ma nine years ago.

At that time, Chang and his god-brother Huang

were bandits, making a living by robbery.

Already mid-day and still no one has passed by

I'm afraid we'd end up with nothing today.

This kind of work requires patience

I think we better go to the South...

to work for the "Long Hair".

It'd be better than being bandits here.

Hey, someone is coming. It's just one.

He's riding his horse very fast.

Hand over your money and the horse.

What if I refuse?

We won't let you refuse

Both of you will take me on together?

Go! No.

It's hard enough to have someone pass by

We've to make it.

What's the matter?

This guy looks like a nice man.

We'd better wait for the next one.

I'm confident I can ward off your attack.

But it's a pity you can only be bandits

despite such good skill of yours.

You may take all this money.

We're bandits, not beggars.

Good. In this chaotic world,

what kind of plans do you have?

Plan? First of all to lay you down

What exactly do you intend to do?

You don't look like a true businessman too.

I'm not a businessman after all.

You're...

If "petty thieves" is all that you are,

why ask such a question?

Bullshit! When I work for "Long Hair"

from results you'll know I ain't useless

Fine. I'm going to fight the Hair Bandit.

The Hair Bandit?

The rebels with long hair, the Tai Pin Army,

that's what you called the Long Hair.

Whatever... the Long Hair or Hair Bandits,

let's see which of us emerges a winner.

Wait. Did you bring along a sword?

Stop

It's my turn.

When you need to do it, do it.

Go when you need to go.

Go.

Look, there're so many...

We don't have to hide in the ditch anymore.

This is good.

Sister-in-law, I did something as well.

Can I have a kiss too

What the hell!

Why are you so happy with such little money?

Isn't money supposed to bring us joy

So when should I feel happy?

If they said the same thing,

I'd come here for nothing.

Wait a minute.

What do you think we should do?

A real man should ask for fame and position

to honor his ancestors.

Well said!

With such ambitions good future awaits us

Ma Xing Yi is clever and good at fighting.

These 3 people became entrusted god-brothers

and fought together for the future

They conquered Yin's bandit base in Shandong

Go...

Move...

Hurry up...

Who is it?

Huang Chung

Ma Xing Yi

Chang Wen Hsiang

Good, I'll make a grave with your names.

Anyone with weapons down and surrendering,

and respect us leaders will not be executed

3rd Brother, come and have some wine.

2nd Brother, Big Brother said...

I don't give a damn to what he said...

Come, drink.

Come on... look we've everything now.

Don't be indolent.

You satisfied occupying only a small hill?

Big Brother said...

Always, "Big Brother said"!

He doesn't enjoy the harvest.

What else does he want?

I don't want you to be just a bandit leader

A real man would go for big business...

Like what Big Brother did.

3rd Brother, don't go. Big Brother is right,

but we're wealthy now.

It's no fun staying here all day.

Tomorrow we leave this place

and have some fun outside.

But don't let my wife know.

2nd Brother, you've such a pretty wife

and still long to have another woman?

She married just because I'm a womanizer.

Okay, I won't tell her.

Are you ready? Yes.

Why didn't you resist enemies hard enough?

The martial art I've taught you...

Why don't you put it to good use?

Leader, we occupied the hill...

Even the government doesn't dare interfere.

There's no point practicing day and night.

Right...

I was only joking. Don't take it seriously.

I train you guys so hard that

I wish someday...

We can do some big business.

Who was born to be a bandit?

And who was born to be a general?

If I can be somebody,

You'll be able to reap advantages too.

From now on, if anyone feels discontent,

feeling tough to stay on,

he may leave the hill. I won't stop him.

If you choose to stay, you've to obey me.

If you don't listen, you'll be like this.

Once again

2nd Brother, 3rd Brother...

Sister-in-law, where are they?

Last night they decided...

to go to the city early in the morning.

Left for the city!

We've stirred up a lot of heat recently.

Why didn't they realize this?

If my hubby went alone, I'd worry about him.

It'd be better if 3rd Brother went along.

Big Brother, why are you sweating so much?

I killed to warn everyone today.

The guys are listening, so I feel motivated.

Sister-in-law, I'd better take a look.

I'm scared they'd make trouble.

Now this is what I'd call a real man!

3rd Brother, if my wife wears this,

she'll look gorgeous.

Oh, she's gorgeous alright as it is.

3rd Brother, I like it at the first sight

2nd Brother, we're still drunk...

better hide it or it'll be stolen.

What are we doing for a living?

They're lucky if we don't rob them.

Chang Wen Hsiang, Huang Chung...

You guys sure have guts!

If you're a man, come with us.

3rd Brother, you go first. I'll handle them.

Shit! I asked you to leave. Don't stay.

The life in prison is real hard.

2nd Brother, stop chasing.

Run fast... Chase...

For what? Further on it'll be their base

The Leaders are back...

What's the matter? Why is it so chaotic?

Get some water quick.

It's because of you we're in trouble!

Just wanted to buy some accessories for you

That's nothing.

I'll command the army and fight battles.

Can you never be hurt?

Ma saved Felon and his god-brother Huang.

They were deeply touched.

Ma Xing Yi is ambitious and fabulous.

They respect Ma like god,

but the evil was planted quietly.

Ma didn't realize it.

Big Brother, it's time to change the medicine

Does my reading books seem funny?

No, it's just a bit strange.

I've already topped the local exams

I've wandered around the nation,

in order to meet more real heroes.

I intend sitting for royal exam this autumn

It's easier to be a major officer with

good background... sister, are you alright?

I'm okay.

You're all soaked. You too.

Your hands are shaking!

Big Brother, are you still studying hard?
