Let the Bullets Fly Page #4

If you've the guts to take on the bandits,

the dollars from the two families,

are but strands of hair!

Strands of hair!

May not be even that!

I know you have the courage.

But ability-wise...?

How do I know if you can overcome Zhang?

May I ask you a question, sir?

Go ahead.

If Zhang can seize your goods,

why can't he break in here?

My citadel is impregnable.

There's no way that he can get in.

Are you sure

that we're the only ones here?

An order to retreat!

- Split? - You sure?

Let's split.

"Chief, watch your back."

Did you hear that?

Yes.

Where Pocky fails to breach, I succeeded!

I can kill him when he is least expecting it.

Another one bites the dust!

Implicate me for all you like.

I couldn't care less!

Governor. I sense that you're special.

I am flattered.

But those who waged war on the bandits,

none has survived.

Why not?

Pocky Zhang is a tough cookie.

I met him once 20 years ago.

Isn't that fate?

How did it happen?

He stood by a lantern and turned towards me,

and I was standing in the shade.

He was well lit up,

and you're in the dark!

Quiet, quiet...

So it was there and then...

A bit like, here and now!

What a coincidence!

Exactly!

But you're missing something.

You mean his facial scars?

Of course not.

Then what is it?

You don't know how to play act.

Exactly!

A fortune teller told my mother

before I was even born!

He said my Achilles heel

would be my inability to play act!

Can I change it?

No way! it's in your genes!

But our counselor is a born actor!

Confusing dollar with dolls?

What is dollar?

American money!

A genius when it comes to play acting.

Counselor, cheers!

Thanks for your compliment, sir.

Allow me to play the fool for once.

After defeating the bandits,

we'll take just 20% of any opium recovered.

No, I insist 50-50!

To show my sincerity,

I'll send over $1.8 million now.

That's too soon. We haven't started yet!

Marie, Claire!

Master, I can't take women.

No interest in money or women,

what do you want?

A runner.

What runner?

Master Huang's a runner of exceptional courage!

- Brother! - Brother!

We can run side by side!

We'll run for our lives!

Roads won't exist in this world of chaos,

unless people like us run on them!

I see, I see...

Yes, me too.

Stupid birch!

While flowers can blossom again,

time lost will never return.

This girl is as delicate as jade.

Please don't be mad at her.

Master Huang, easy easy...

Shame we didn't meet until now!

Diamonds, the girl - they're all yours.

I've brought my wife with me.

So I can't take her home.

Then take the diamonds for your wife.

I accept them on her behalf.

Get up.

I thought you'd summoned two girls.

How come there's only her?

You mean she is Marie-Claire?

You are really naive!

She's adopted a fashionable name.

It's Marie-Claire!

There goes the last of them!

A wise counselor!

A tough governor!

Master, you're both wise and tough.

Are you really "Pocky" Zhang?

Supposing that you are.

You've already made a fortune

from "crippling" Liu's runners.

Why bother with Goose Town?

But if you are someone else...

Saviour?

Kill the chicken and take the eggs.

Let him die in his own bed.

Don't kill him on his way home

after dining as my guest.

Understood!

Who is the "chicken"?

The Governor.

And the "eggs"?

I'll out his balls off!

Diamonds!

My two diamonds!

Don't worry, sir!

I'll retrieve your diamonds.

I'm sorry.

My pleasure, sir.

Know why I'm sending you?

It's because I'm already dead.

Do you know why?

I shouldn't have implicated you.

Right! If you are alive, you'll eventually die.

But if you're dead,

you may live on forever!

Understood.

Kill the chicken, take the eggs!

Where's Chief?

Punch drunk!

Where is he?

We're still chatting just now!

I must be drunk, too!

I'll sort you out later.

He must've fallen off the horse.

I heard that you slept.

Look up when you speak.

I heard that you slept last night.

I sleep every goddamned night!

Look at me when you speak.

You slept with the bandit?

Do you want a blow-by-blow account?

Tell me more.

When a seasoned pro meets a bandit chief,

anything could happen!

What now?

Whore! B*tch! Vixen! Tramp!

What did you call me?

Whore! B*tch! Vixen! Tramp!

If I'd more time,

I'll put you in your place!

Come on!

I dare you!

You're all talk!

A perverted, dirty old man.

Could you have bought the post

without my money?

Don't piss me off!

I think the bandit is more able!

What do you mean?

He's got more balls than you!

He's good at getting drunk!

These will make your day!

Three of Huang's dogs died today.

I know they're not worthy of you.

I was going to lead our brothers,

engage Huang in a deadly duel,

and avenge your death.

But I've changed my mind.

I can't take revenge this way.

I can't risk more lives.

Chief, we're looking for you.

Why did you signal retreat?

Huang heard your whistling.

I knew that I was safe.

Leave, I want to spend time alone with Six.

It has finally dawned on me,

why I became a bandit in the first place.

I was no match for these people.

But I must take them on at their own game now,

and to win for you.

What the heck?

You stole my diamonds.

They're not meant for you.

They're a gift for Mrs. Governor!

Which of us is the Governor?

Who's the Governor?

Tell me who's the Governor!

You want to kill me?

Or to sleep with me?

Is there a difference?

It's different!

I can bed you first, and kill you later.

Then you'd better kill me now.

I don't sleep with dead bodies!

I won't take drunken advantage of a widow,

so I'll just sleep next to you,

not with you!

Holy smoke! I was fooled!

You and Wu both faked death!

That's right.

Why dressed up as a bandit?

I'm a bandit. "Pocky" Zhang's my boss!

What's your rank, then?

I am Three!

Three, you've hit big time!

You've got yourself a fake!

Chief, don't listen to his bullshit!

He plotted Six's death.

Let me shoot him now!

Chief?

Were you sent by "Pocky" Zhang?

Or by Master Huang?

I want the right answer!

- Master Huang. - Why?

We commit crimes posing as bandits,

forcing governors to launch expeditions.

Creating more chances for Huang to swindle.

And then?

- That's all. - Really?

I don't know anything else!

Why did you target my bed?

Master said you're arrogant,

a threat!

Take him a message:

While he likes people to fake death,

I'm fond of killing people more than once!

Letting me off again?

He can only understand words you say.

Chief, you're...

Yes, "Pocky" Zhang.

Where are your pockmarks?

Does your boss have "Huang"

inscribed on his face?

That's true.

My friend,

you must not tell anyone,

that I am "Pocky" Zhang.

You have my word!

I never want to be a governor,

but you still bought me this post!

The position has been usurped,

and now you're dead too.

Huang has brought his militia.

Wanting to fight bandits with us.

She was my wife.

- I am the governor! - Let him in.

I am Ma Bangde!

Is the Governor okay?

Give chase! Don't let anyone get away.
