Two Stage Sisters Page #4

---

Our combat forces already have organized.

But to defeat the enemy

we still need a strategy.

We can discuss it.

Commissioner Pan wants to see me?

What nerve! These actresses!

Now they are absolutely lawless.

What are you going to do

about this situation?

I can deal with Zhu Chunhua's troupe.

But the entire Shanghai Opera

is also involved.

I can't get to these nervy actors.

You should understand this is political.

In these chaotic times, they dare to

parade around together...

and and gather in groups.

This is no small matter!

Are these people, these matters...

connected to you?

The Shaoxing Opera is easy to deal with.

If you want to get the gang,

catch the leader.

You have a way!

Commissioner Pan,

if I have backing from above...

it can be done.

Yes. But you must be responsible.

"The Shanghai Co-operative Opera Troupe

Lead Actresses"

"What Crime Did the Actress Commit?"

"Let a Good Person Live!"

Zhu Chunhua Fights Back!"

"Protect Our People and Theatre

From Thugs such as Ah Xin"

Blaming Ah Xin might not work.

This kind of person

isn't dependable.

What if he turns and blames us?

I'll take care of him.

Now that little group

is getting more powerful.

And discussion is rather fierce.

We two can talk frankly.

The war at the front

is not going well.

We must keep the peace in Shanghai.

We can't afford any more unrest.

We simply can't have it.

I was following your orders.

This time we are together in this.

The bosses can't get rid of us both.

There's already a directive.

Your wife is to appear and say there

was a sisterly grudge.

This way politics will be kept out of it.

Furthermore, it will destroy

the sisters' relationship.

This is killing two birds

with one stone.

My finances are limited.

She's my only capital.

It's easy then. Use your capital

to make a profit.

"Court Hearing Today"

"Assailant Ah Xin in Custody"

The judge has been notified.

It looks bad for Zhu Chunhua.

Come what may, Yuehong will appear in court.

I have my ways.

Don't be soft-hearted.

It's incredible!

An extraordinary performance!

According to the inspector's report,

is it true she provoked you?

Don't be afraid.

This court asks you again.

Why did Xing Yuehong wish to

secretly harm Zhu Chunhua?

It began when...

the sisters snatched the theatre...

and fought over billing and profits.

I was confused.

I coveted the money,

and she took advantage of this.

You are speaking the truth?

If I told even a single lie...

may Heaven strike me down!

Take Ah Xin away.

Call the witness Xing Yuehong.

Calling Xing Yuehong.

If you don't go, I'll kill you.

Are you Xing Yuehong?

Your place of birth... name... occupation.

Is it true that you hired the assailant?

Did you make him throw the package

of quicklime?

Yuehong, did you secretly harm

Zhu Chunhua?

Did you?

Why don't you answer?

Answer!

I'll speak for her.

Xing Yuehong isn't the instigator.

She definitely is not.

She's possessed.

She's not human.

She has fallen...

but she'd never harm

her sister who has stuck

with her through thick and thin.

We are asking Xing Yuehong...

we are asking the witness...

I understand.

People want to come between me

and my sister...

put the blame on someone else

and let the real assailant escape.

Such talk is not permitted!

You want to make Xing Yuehong

a scapegoat...

make it known to the public.

Xing Yuehong is a scapegoat.

The real assailant will not escape!

Bring out the real assailant!

The sparrows are upset in the flock.

The crows caw in the court.

The black hand can't hide...

from the bright sun and moon.

Living in the bitter water,

in wind and rain...

Why can't you tell the difference

between men and ghosts?

I want to wash my eyes...

in the clear spring.

In the distance I see the future...

with flowers like brocade

The Year 1950

I heard Yuehong lives here.

Yuehong!

Where is she?

Yuehong! Yuehong!

We haven't seen each other

for over 10 years!

Your play is wonderful!

You all performed well.

White Haired Girl! Do you remember me?

Little Chunhua! So unexpected!

You sang beautifully.

You sang what was in my heart.

Xiao Xiang, do you remember her?

Chunhua. Just now I saw Yuehong.

She came to see the play.

You sit and wait here.

Yuehong.

Sister Chun. I'm ashamed.

I'm full of regret.
