- I can't take you along.

- I won't be any trouble.

I don't know what

is lying ahead of us.

You've got to take me with you.

Go and take the train.

Why did you bring so many rats?

They'll come in handy.

What's in those cases, then?

They're for Jiao Long,

it'll be something special.

What is that?

It's something I've invented.

As I see it,

this isn't a simple matter.

Are you regretting it now?

Don't be silly,

you know what kind of person I am.

You've saved my life,

whatever you want me to do, I'll do.

Tonight's cold,

this will keep you warm.

Don't get too involved, we'll just

deliver the cases and get the money.

Brother Ma, who's on watch tonight?

You sleep first, I'll do tonight.

Drink some of this,

it will keep you warm.

Brother Ma, the horse is gone!

Bu!

Where's the horse?

Damn, I accidentally fell asleep.

Accidentally? I think you were drunk.

The cases are gone too.

How will I explain this?

They'll kill me!

Calm down, let's talk it over.

Fine, yes, calm down -

you may not need the gold, but I do.

What do you mean?

Just give me the gold.

If you jumped off a cliff

I still wouldn't give it to you.

What do you mean?

I didn't like you

from the moment I set eyes on you.

Typical peasant miner.

OK, let's look for the horse.

Help!

Help!

Stay here, we'll go and look.

Help me!

Help!

Haven't we seen her before?

Our horse!

Help me!

Watch the horse.

Are you all right?

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine.

Come on.

- They look like Jiao's bandits.

- Let's go.

Yao Jie!

Over there, quick!

Where are we? It's so dark here.

- It's called the snake pit.

- There are snakes in here?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Want a drink?

You were clever, I'm glad

those bandits didn't get away.

You have to be clever to survive.

You're OK, have a drink.

Here.

It'll keep you warm.

My family lives in Feng Shui.

As we're in the area,

why don't we visit them?

Good, while we're here, why not?

Let's escort Miss Li home.

Just in case she has more trouble.

Brother Ma!

Brother Ma.

Someone's here.

It could be the bandits.

Get the horse.

- Where are you from?

- Panlong.

Have you seen

two men around here?

No.

Bring me the boy.

Don't move.

Where did you get this?

I found it.

It's nothing to do with me.

- Look after him.

- Are you OK?

- Let's go.

- Get the horse.

Go.

Go.

It's nothing,

it's only a scratch.

What do you think they are doing?

Who knows?

Women are difficult to understand.

Yao's hurt and we've got to

look after those girls.

We don't know when

we'll reach the Laoma Pass.

Don't worry,

we've still got three days left.

After this, what are you going to do?

Are you going back to Canton?

I want to go to Hong Kong.

And you?

I've got no plans.

Why don't you come with me?

Aren't you worried I'm stupid?

Don't be so petty!

Hurry up.

Damn horse!

Wait here.

Move.

- Leave it.

- Help me with the cases.

Do you come from the south?

Yes.

I lived in Canton for a while.

Did you come up north

because of these cases?

I go wherever I want to try my luck.

Do you think

you'll be lucky this time?

Let's go.

Come on, we've almost reached

the foot of the mountain.

What do you think of Miss Li?

Fu seems interested in her.

Mind your own business.

After this you'll reach Laoma Pass.

Will you stay there?

No.

So you want to go back to Canton?

Yes, but before I go back

I'll visit Feng Shui.

- Do you know someone there?

- No.

So what will you do there?

Try your luck?

Fu.

I've waited a long time for you.

Don't you remember in Canton

you tricked and then killed somebody?

I can tell you now,

I've already accepted the money.

I just haven't done the job yet.

Do you understand?

There's two sides to every story.

You're squashing me!

Ah Hui!

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine.

Did you kill those two men?

Just some unfinished business.

Where's Miss Li?

I don't know. I've looked everywhere.

Maybe she's gone back to Feng Shui.

I don't know.

Let's talk about this later.

Well?

I've asked everywhere,

no one knows her.

- Where are the others?

- They left early.

Today's society is so chaotic,

there's all kinds of people.

Don't get depressed about it,

let's go for a walk.

I'm not going, you two go.

That's enough.

The way I see it, that Miss Li...

she's a strange one.

I don't think she's honest.

What do you think?

Do you know what

we're delivering to Jiao Long?

How should I know?

I'm going for a walk.

Place your bets.

Come on, hurry.

That's it, no more bets.

Eight and nine.

Player one, you lose.

And you lose too.

Come on, move. Let me play.

Place your bets.

Stop pushing.

No more bets. It's 20.

Hey, what about you?

Any more bets? Last bets.

No more bets.

Are you ready yet?

- Why are you following me?

- I'm just going to the toilet.

Really?

Brother Ma.

Captain.

Did you know

that Hu works for Yuan Shihai?

Yuan has stated

his allegiance to the crown.

The gift you're delivering

from Hu to Jiao

will help Jiao in Yuan's cause.

They'll join forces against Dr Sun.

No matter what,

we must have these cases.

It's my duty to deliver them.

Nobody is to touch them.

- Take them.

- Yes.

I think you'd better give up.

Are you all right?

Get up.

- What is it?

- We're in trouble.

What are you doing?

- Brother Ma.

- Brother Ma.

- Where are the others?

- They're waiting at the junction.

Let's go.

I'll ask you again, where are

the rest of the revolutionaries?

I know every move

that you and your friends make...

so why are you resisting me?

Why don't you cooperate

for both our sakes?

Be careful, it's slippery.

- Help him.

- Thanks.

Careful.

Careful.

Wait.

Listen.

Let's go.

They're getting closer.

Faster.

Watch your back.

Behind you!

Move!

Quick, run!

Forget the cases!

Run!

- Are you OK?

- Fine.

Run!

- I'll help you.

- You go first.

Yao Jie, you still awake?

Will we reach Laoma Pass tomorrow?

I promised to deliver

the cases because I am your friend.

If there's anything more to this,

you should tell me.

I'm not hiding anything from you.

Who killed that revolutionary?

How should I know? I wasn't there.

Were you shocked

when you saw the body?

If you don't trust me, fine.

You didn't want to work

for Hu in the beginning.

Then you changed your mind. Strange.

I only did it for the money.

What's inside the cases?

I don't know.

Tell me or I'll open them.

- Don't. You can't open them.

- Why not?

You're not allowed.

What's going on?

Brother Ma, you can't do this.

My sisters' lives are at stake.

Yuan hired Hu in Tokyo.

He's a Ninja.

I used to work for him.

This time, he asked me to help out.

But I refused

and he took my sisters hostage.

He forced me to deliver

the cases and keep an eye on you.

Once the cases are delivered,

he'll release my sisters.

- What's inside those cases?

- I don't know.

Yuan has so many soldiers,

why has he hired us?

He's using us to bring

the revolutionaries out from hiding.
