Let the Bullets Fly Page #9
We only have three days.
What is on his mind?
They're a bunch of clowns!
We simply want them...dead!
He has sworn publicly,
to behead me in 3 days.
Some said I'd win the lottery too!
Can the four of us
Yes.
We've been telling everyone that.
We can't back out now!
What are our chances?
"30%"
Time for a nap. Keep watch.
Queen!
Knave!
Bingo!
Chief, the money is gone.
I could see that.
We must have a 40% chance now!
Surely not!
Still only 30% after they took the money?
If things are that simple,
our efforts will be in vain.
Send the carriages!
I'll show you how to
"borrow arrows with a straw boat"!
But we just sent horses, not straw boats.
Idiot!
It's only a metaphor!
You're almost metaphysical!
Huang has taken all the Silvers.
We've no chance of winning.
"60%"
Huang didn't even have to show up,
everyone has surrendered their money.
How can it be 60%'?
Well said!
So why 6O%?
It's because of fear.
What lies beneath fear?
Rage!
We need to bring forth their rage!
As guns and ammos wait for you,
Huang hoards fortune in his citadel.
As guns and ammos wait for you,
Huang hoards fortune in his citadel.
Never-say-die!
I like that!
Those are guns! Send carriages?
Money incites greed. But guns are seditious!
They wouldn't dare.
The money's gone, but the guns remain!
What do we do now?
What are our chances?
"70%"
Huang has taken all the money.
But no one takes our guns.
How come it's 7O%?
If he hadn't taken the money,
I wouldn't have to distribute the guns!
...wouldn't have distributed the guns!
need a nap.
King!
- Queen! - Bingo!
I got it!
You were inciting rage and anger!
Collect the guns.
You missed?
Let the bullets fly!
Shots were fired!
Look!
They're all raging mad!
How dare they shot my horse?
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Those with guns follow me.
Kill Huang and storm his citadel...
Chief, look.
Only they have come this far with us!
We're on our own!
I see.
They will only side with the victors.
We can't overcome Huang's 400 men!
Shoot! We can win!
What's our target? There's only a gate.
Let's blast the gate, then.
How many people have they brought?
Just the four of them.
You're kidding!
And also...
fifty geese.
Great! Let them shoot!
Let them goddamned shoot!
It's almost day break.
If Three doesn't return in time...
I know what's on your mind.
Can you draw an exclamation mark?
Let's do one on the gate!
Right on.
What's that? Where's the dot?
You missed!
Move over.
A hook stroke?
Look again!
A question mark!
If you can shoot straight,
you'll have nothing to worry!
Empty your guns
at the question mark!
Okay!
Chief, chief...
Speak up!
I'm back!
Three days,
one mission!
Where are they?
They're here.
You're back, at last.
I'm not Huang! I'm just an actor!
What happened?
He ran away and I chased after him.
We ran along way!
I caught up with them.
He finally succumbed after I'd him cornered.
That was it?
Yes, that simple.
Brothers!
To mark Three's return,
let's go and empty our guns!
- Right. - Let's go!
What about me?
Squat!
Just four of them?
Go and take a look.
Someone will die!
There will be fatalities!
At least one of them will die!
Hoist!
Brothers! We've won the war!
Understood?
Understood!
Say it out loud!
Yes, victory.
Let's parade him.
Follow me.
Huang's been captured.
Huang's been captured!
Huang's been captured.
Kill!
Sh*t, we're in trouble!
I've died as my double!
Reclaim what's yours from the citadel!
Come with me!
Charge!
Charge!
Follow me!
The citadel's been breached?
Yes!
Huang's been captured!
Yes!
They took him for his double.
You've ended Huang's reign.
What do we do with him now?
Let him go?
You bastard, go over here! Over there!
Stand properly!
My fellow townsfolk!
Huang has died!
But he has got off lightly!
Swoosh!
He was fell in one blow
by that stupid Governor!
That was stupid! That was ignorant!
That's not justice!
No! it's not!
Can you let this pass?
No!
I am not him.
I know you're his double.
But you shared his life and committed his crimes.
So you should be punished
as if you were him!
- Kneel down! -I really am not him!
Kneel down! Kneel!
Don't make me mad!
On my count of three!
One!
Two!
One!
Two!
What them? Who's the son-of-a-b*tch?
Want your ass kicked again?
Am I bothering you, sir?
Say the word and I'll disappear.
If not, I'll just carry on.
Go away.
Right, we're going.
Just yell if you need me.
Always at your service, sir.
Goodbye, sir. Beat it!
What's next for you?
Take my place here?
I'm not a caged bird.
You're a predator.
The day of your inauguration,
had I greeted you in person,
would things have turned out differently?
It was a nice hat. I liked it.
I have nicer ones at home.
I can give them to you.
Everything's gone in a flash.
It's not that bad.
You're still having a smoke,
still chit-chatting.
But Six, Two, Counselor and his wife...
I can no longer hear their voice.
Never ever again.
Their four lives,
in exchange for my heirloom,
isn't that enough?
That's none of my business.
To me,
they are separate issues.
You could have kept the money.
But why did you give it away?
Master Huang, let me ask you a question.
Shoot!
Which is more important to me?
You or your fortune?
Me.
Think again.
Can it be the money?
Think again.
Neither matters to me.
Then what is?
To rid of you is more important.
Looking for a light?
No.
You must be...
looking for this.
You're a man of honour.
There's only one bullet left.
That's enough.
Wait.
Any message for Tang?
Right, tell him...
I owe him an apology.
I lied to him.
What was your lie?
I said I wouldn't come back.
But here I am.
You...
You should have kept your promise.
Yes, I let him down.
But when it comes to you,
I'll definitely keep my words.
Understood.
Understood...
Governor...
These chairs are mine.
Chief...
Easy...
Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
You fancy Flora, right?
Governor,
may I interrupt?
I overheard everything.
Huang is not an honourable man.
I gave him a pistol.
He can take his own life.
If he doesn't, lend him a hand.
Understood.
I have 9 ways to skin this cat!
Nine ways!
You'll hear my roar!
Maybe just a little. Why?
Don't say I tipped you off.
Chief, we're off to Shanghai.
Not riding back with me?
Still want to resume banditry?
You're too old for this.
You should've given me a heads-up.
That's what we're doing!
Didn't you want to be one of us?
I just helped to dish out the money.
