Let the Bullets Fly Page #7

I'm willing to wait 3 days.

Master Huang.

I adore my Counselor,

I can't let you have him.

Fair enough.

Six.

We're almost there.

Say, 70% done.

I've asked Two to take off first.

He'll wait for us at Emerald Creek.

I will keep my promise.

Know what you have to do?

Yes.

When $1.8 million is in hand,

I'll consider Six avenged.

I feel that...

my wife's death is also avenged.

Saviour, you still want to kill Huang?

I'm not your Saviour. Huang is.

You're my Saviour. Not him.

Did you think I was lying dead back there?

No, of course not.

Sure?

Never crossed my mind.

I've to hand this to you.

Abracadabra, and Hu Wan magically appeared!

But I really didn't get it.

Those six bodies,

such a distance, so little time,

how did you move them so quickly?

Huang and I took the shortcut.

You've to carry six bodies.

How did you manage?

They weren't buried at the magistracy.

The bodies were buried there all along.

I ensure the standoff was at their burial site.

That's where I led Huang to.

I'm convinced you're "Pocky" Zhang.

Sit down.

My name is Zhang.

I know that.

Zhang Muzhi.

A fine name!

It has auspicious meanings.

You father must have high hopes.

After graduating from military academy,

I enlisted in General Cai's army.

Served as captain of his riflemen.

How old were you then?

Seventeen.

A youthful genius!

Cai was wounded during the Battle of Luzhou,

and later died in exile in Japan.

I came back alone.

The country was in total chaos.

So I became a bandit.

They nicknamed me "Pocky".

Shame! You're so handsome.

People have an odd way of thinking,

that bandits shouldn't have proper names.

They love calling their bandits "Pocky".

Not only that,

they want their bandits scarred and scary.

People can be so ignorant.

My own story started like this...

I too was a tenderly 17,

and so was she.

Stop, I'm not interested.

I don't confess to just anyone.

I've to continue now that I started.

Take it back!

It's all made up anyway.

You're a conman!

In our part of China,

There are only two such landmines.

Both limited edition.

Made in U.S.A.-1910!

Bang and everything's in smithereens!

So if it doesn't take some lives with it,

it'd be such a waste.

Well...

where's the other one?

It exploded.

Really?

The first bang during the 1911 Revolution!

Oh yes, I've heard!

It went off at Xinhai!

Xinhai's not a place! it's a revolutionary icon!

You should've said so earlier.

Now, tell me about this one.

You must stay focused.

I want it to shake the world,

I want it to rock and roll!

Understood.

Pick a good spot,

find an auspicious time...

So, who's our target?

You should've asked...

"Where"'?

Where, then?

Where the expedition force must pass.

Yet another expedition?

Can I have a bigger out this time?

You can have it all if you're the real Pocky!

No problem, sir. I'm a fake.

I'll take whatever you can spare.

When do you want it to blow up?

That's our denouement!

Let's play out our second act slowly.

Hold Still!

Let her speak.

Two left without saying goodbye.

Now Three is leaving too.

You are tearing us apart!

You're doing this for Two or Three?

Shut up!

I Know your left hand's intention,

I know your right hand's intention.

But both hands together...I don't get it.

I'd rather be dead!

Typical Scorpian!

Shut up!

Sit down, all of you.

Let me talk to her.

You were bought by Huang?

Yes.

- Been mistreated? - Yes.

- Have I ever laid hands on you? - No.

- Hate him? - Yes.

- And me? - No.

Then why threaten me with a gun?

Because you're a good person.

What?

What kind of stupid logic is that?

You threaten me because I'm good?

Flora, Chief is right!

Go back! Sit down!

You bunch of idiots!

I told you to give money to the poor.

And you gave it to her?

I warned you but nobody listened.

Shut up! You're a born cheat!

Always plotting to swindle me.

Working with Huang behind my back.

When a bandit confronts a godfather,

the outcome should be simple.

How can you screw up so badly?

How dare you still point your gun at me?

If I don't dare to draw a gun on you,

I'll never make a good bandit.

I dare you all!

Whose quirky idea is this?

Whose?

I was just teasing her.

You want to become one of us?

Yes, to give money out to the poor,

to hear and share their joy.

You're now one of us.

But I am not prepared.

No need!

Did you make preparation?

No.

How about you?

I was eating hotpot and singing songs.

My train plunged and I ended up here.

We're leaving Goose Town soon.

But you have to stay.

No.

A bandit must have discipline.

Chief is right.

But she has a point, too.

I have an important mission for you.

I think you can manage.

This is our nice surprise!

A nice surprise indeed.

He is not Ma!

Now that we know,

My next move can be more leisurely.

Leisurely?

Impersonating a governor

warrants capital punishment.

His whole clan dies with him!

Master, just you wait.

I'll go and blow him away!

No!

Before they die,

I want to toy with these circus monkeys.

But Master,

they're not worth your while.

No, I must toy with them!

Otherwise, I couldn't get others to pay,

the Governor couldn't go and fight the bandits,

and they wouldn't trot on my landmine!

Huang has a double.

They are indistinguishable.

I can't tell if this is really Huang.

I need you to check for me.

He's a fake.

He's not Huang.

Told you I'm not Huang!

I really am not him.

I'm certain.

Let me go.

Keep an eye on him until our return.

If you have to, use your guns.

I've never used a gun.

Three, show her how.

Is that your photo?

Yes, it's mine.

Sure?

Yes,

I was Slimmer then.

I don't think it's you.

It isn't?

No, it isn't.

I don't think so either.

No, that ain't me.

What is this all about?

I was totally baffled myself.

When I bought the post, I needed papers.

I had my picture taken at a gallery,

and that's what they gave me.

I said the man in the photo wasn't me.

They insisted that it was.

I've no choice but to use it.

Is that so?

Bullshit!

That's obviously me!

I am the real Ma Bangde.

Is that so?

I was ambushed by bandits on my way here.

He saved my life.

So I let him take the post.

After all, he's my nephew.

Uncle, we shouldn't be telling him this.

Shut up!

I've travelled all over China,

I have been governor in 9 counties.

I excel in confusing facts with fiction!

So, Governor Ma...

Yes?

He's addressing me.

You were saying?

Just as I uncover the truth,

you blow your own cover!

What a coincidence.

"Stop frowning to dispel ill feelings,

and brush aside quarrels with a smile."

Want to make peace?

Splendid. Where's my double?

Return him and we'll call it quits.

We've killed him.

Which a**hole ordered his execution?

You're that a**hole!

I dare you to pull your trigger!

Lay down your guns!

I know I could take you out first.

Put down your guns on my count of three!

One, two, three!

Huang, put it down!

He may be a brute, but you too?

You're the worst!
