All Men Are Brothers (1975) Movie Script
1
Who is that?
Oh, it's you, Yan Qing.
Yes, it's me.
How did you know
that my place was...
Of course, Ms. Li Shishi,
the infamous courtesan.
Your place is often frequented
by the Emperor.
Please don't say that.
You almost got into trouble
the last time you were here.
Why are you...
How did you get in?
It isn't a very tall wall.
It couldn't stop me.
I have a favor to ask.
Not yet...
Since you're here,
I want something from you.
If you oblige, I'll help you.
How can I help you?
Anything at all. You name it.
It's not what you think.
It's just that...
I hear you have tattoos.
I'd like to take a look.
That...
You're no stranger to the brothels.
Yan Qing, the Prodigy.
Don't tell me you're shy.
The same day
The Emperor's here.
Emperor Shen-shang
Your Majesty.
Please stand up.
Leave us.
We're in a brothel,
not in the palace.
There's no need for formalities.
Please have a seat, Your Majesty.
Shishi, come sit beside me.
Please have a drink.
Why don't you play some music?
Aren't you bored with my music?
I've got a surprise for you.
A surprise?
Great... Who is he?
He plays the pipa very well.
He's my brother.
He's been traveling all over,
and has just returned today.
Ask your brother to come outside.
My brother's a criminal on the run.
He's afraid to meet you.
I'll give him a pardon.
If you could write an imperial pardon.
Sure.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Please.
What's your brother's name?
Yan Qing.
There, it's done.
Please come out here
and thank the Emperor.
Your Majesty.
Looks like
you've got a lot of talent
and are not just a common criminal.
You say that
you've committed a crime,
yet the music you played
is so melancholy.
May I ask the nature
of your crime?
I've already written your pardon,
so please tell me.
I'm a general from
the Liang Shan troops.
Liang Shan troops?
Your Majesty, our motto is...
loyalty and righteousness.
We have no intention
of rebelling against you.
We do not harm civilians.
Corrupt officials and
governors are the true enemies.
We just want to help
our country under an amnesty.
Our country is in turmoil,
Fang La is rebelling.
His power is growing in Jiangnan.
He has occupied eight states
and twenty-five counties.
I've been informed that
there are 108 Liang Shan heroes
that are all talented.
Maybe they can conquer
Fang La before the pardon.
If me and my brothers
could be pardoned for
going against Fang,
we would be willing to die for the country.
Well said. You're a good man.
Brother.
Brother.
Xiaowu, go and tell everyone
about what's going on here.
Remember, the iron gate
is linked to the wooden fences.
You have to
open the iron gate first.
That way,
the boats won't be able to enter.
Hurry, go.
Hu San-niang and Lin Chung,
Leaders of Liang Shan
...and Wu Sung,
the most derserving general
Fang La has many soldiers.
Hangzhou City
is surrounded by water.
This makes it difficult to invade
but easy to defend.
Our strategy did not work.
We lost several good brothers.
I'm a strong swimmer.
I'm ready to take on any order!
We will need you for sure,
Zhang Shun.
The Ruan brothers
were strong swimmers too.
They died there!
The moat there is solid
and the situation is unclear.
We have to prepare another plan.
Our troops retreated,
you need another plan.
The gates will be opened later.
I'd rather send someone
to the city to spy.
That way, we can work
from the inside and the outside.
I'll volunteer.
Mr. Lu, of 108 men,
I think Yan Qing
is the best man for the job.
He's smart and fluent
in many dialects.
He is my first pick.
Will you take this job, Yan Qing?
We will be pardoned after
we kill the rebel Fang La.
The Emperor personally
promised this to me.
I am willing to do this.
Will you go with him, Shi Jin?
Of course.
This is a risky expedition.
Be very careful.
This is a great opportunity.
I have spent everything
I have to learn various skills.
Shi Xiu, the Rash.
Brother Shi Xiu.
I will go. Shi Bao killed
my sword brother Yang Xiong.
I want to get even!
Sir, I'm right here.
I want to go too.
You're not allowed to go, Li Kui.
There's no need to yell.
You think you know!
Didn't you hear that Hangzhou
is surrounded by water?
You're a good fighter,
but a poor swimmer.
Remember the time
when you were in Jiangzhou?
You almost drowned, didn't you?
I beat you when we were on shore!
But you almost drowned
in the water.
Brother Zhang,
what happened?
That year,
Brother Song Jiang was in Jiangzhou.
He said he wanted to eat fresh fish.
What's going on?
He's crazy,
he's beating everyone up.
Go...
Get me a big fish, and hurry!
You let all the fish go.
I don't care, I want a big one!
Zhang Shun's here!
Who's making a scene here?
I am.
Black Whirlwind.
Li Kui.
If it wasn't for
Song Jiang and Yuechen...
I would have killed you.
And then what happened?
Black Whirlwind.
Stay put, chicken.
You...
Come up here!
Enough, Brother Li, Brother Zhang.
We need both of you to help out.
Let's go.
We need more than a couple
but too many would spoil the game.
Zhang Qing and his wife Sun
will be there too.
Seven will go in
the first expedition to Hangzhou.
You will be the scouts.
Okay.
Your Majesty.
Go...
Hurry!
Go...
Please help me...
Since His Majesty isn't here yet,
can you please let me through?
My child is sick and
needs a doctor right away.
I've been waiting a long time.
Please, officers...
Do we have a problem here?
But my child is very sick!
This is urgent!
Fine, go ahead.
Thank you.
Don't, it's a trap.
Let me go.
Assassin.
Do you have a sick child back
at home too?
Let's go, hurry.
Go that way.
Come on.
Hurry!
Go...
The Emperor is here.
Move over.
The Emperor is here.
The Emperor has arrived.
General Shi.
Someone was
causing a scene earlier.
He called himself
The Black Whirlwind of Liang Shan.
Has he been arrested?
He fled into the alley.
You've gotten us into trouble.
Well, I won't take this nonsense!
What did the Commander tell you?
What have you done this time?
There are soldiers everywhere.
They're all looking
for the Black Whirlwind.
The news got out that quickly?
Stop bothering me!
If I'm angry enough,
I'll take my axe and...
kill my way through
Fang La's palace!
Brother Li.
Relax.
You'll have the chance
to use your axe.
I wonder if the others
have heard anything...
close to the palace.
The Emperor
is returning to the palace!
Your Majesty.
The Liang Shan outlaws
are closing in on us.
They are less than
200 miles from the city.
We've heard that...
Wu Song is in charge.
Who in the hell does
Wu Song think he is?
They will all die here in Hangzhou.
Fang La returned to
his palace early today.
Our troops must be near.
If they're coming...
we wouldn't be able to
help them in time.
According to what we've seen,
Fang La's strongest army
is in the city.
We are no match for them.
Since we got here...
we haven't done anything.
We will have to take action.
Let's discuss this
with Brother Yan Qing later.
You are responsible for security.
How many are there?
You are my aides in this rebellion.
I'm the emperor
and you are my generals.
The Liang Shan troops
are getting closer.
I can understand chaos
at the front lines.
But this should not
be happening in the city.
Emperor,
I will search every household.
I'll find them all.
There's no need.
That's not their main goal.
You're saying...
They are in the city acting as spies.
We should close the gates
and step up security
around the palace.
General Shi and General Si
will patrol the city.
We have to defend the moat first.
We shouldn't be worrying
about the outlaws.
That's very true.
Order all ten gates to be closed.
No one is to be let thru
without an Imperial order.
Yes.
There are ten gates in Hangzhou.
Four of them are by the lake,
they are...
Qiantangmen, Yongjinmen,
Qingbomen, Qianhumen.
All of their boats are hidden...
behind Qingbomen.
Without boats,
they assume we won't attack.
Yongjinmen has water gates.
If we can pass the water gates
and open the door,
then our navy could
attack them that way.
The army can then go in
from the coastline.
They'll be caught off guard.
All we'll have to do
is inform our Commander
so that the troops can be ready.
As for the job of
opening up the water gates...
Let me go.
Okay, let's go back to the inn first.
All the gates are out of bounds.
They must be getting closer.
How do we contact our troops?
The Commander is waiting for our news.
The gates are shut.
Someone needs to sneak out.
Let's wait until dawn. I've got a plan.
What plan?
It's boring staying inside all day!
Shi Xiu is lucky.
He has already been able to fight.
I don't understand why we...
have to wait until the morning.
All the gates are closed.
Security will be tight at night.
It would be more difficult.
We could use your help
tomorrow, Brother Li.
Would you be okay
if you were alone at the gate?
This is going to be exciting!
Please,
we can't just sacrifice Brother Li.
We don't have enough men.
As long as
I can get out of the city,
you stand by
for assistance and then
get out of there
as soon as possible.
But it could get worse for him.
I...
That's right. Well, forget it.
I swear, I'll leave when I'm told.
This is important.
This isn't a game.
I know.
Go back.
Where are you going?
Can't we leave the city
during the day?
Are you challenging me?
You're the rebels,
but you're accusing me?
Attack!
I am Black Whirlwind Li Kui!
He's the Black Whirlwind.
Go.
Hurry...
Tell Li to retreat.
Brother Li, retreat.
Brother Li.
What are you doing?
These guys are nothing.
If you don't leave,
then we'll leave you.
Fine.
Brother Li is unbelievable.
You guys go ahead.
I'll stay behind with Brother Li.
Shi Xiu.
You are a good brother.
Go.
Bastard!
At least someone
looks important!
Who are you?
So you are
the Black Whirlwind.
Don't you know me?
I am General Shi Bao.
He is Shi Bao.
Brother Shi Xiu.
Run, Brother Li. Get out of here!
That's the Black Whirlwind?
Hold on.
What is it, General?
He's has company,
let me follow him.
Wait for me at the gate,
watch for my signal.
Okay.
Who are you?
General Li Tianrun.
Nice timing.
You can pick up your soldier,
General Bao's body!
And who are you?
Liang Shan hero,
Shi Xiu, the Rash.
Today I took the life of Shi Bao.
I have avenged
my sworn brother Yang Xiong.
Where's Shi Xiu?
He's still fighting.
He asked me to leave first.
Do you think he'll make it?
Let's go first.
I see, you're using a diversion.
Are you going to
inform your troops?
I'm nobody.
I don't understand what you mean.
You are somebody.
Everyone has heard
of Yan Qing, the Prodigy.
You met the Sung Emperor
at the famous courtesan...
Li Shishi's brothel.
You asked for a pardon
on behalf of the 108 men
of Liang Shan.
And you call yourself a nobody?
You've done your research.
I hear you're quite good at wrestling.
You're into wrestling too?
I'm known as
the first wrestler in Jiangnan.
So, you are one of
the four major generals.
General Si Xingfang.
You may be the best wrestler
in Jiangnan,
but I'm the best everywhere.
What do you want?
I'll defeat you,
and then cut your head off
for everyone to see!
Wait. If you lose...
you could still kill me
because you have plenty of men.
The best wrestler of Jiangnan...
is no match for
the best wrestler in the country!
Come on...
If you take one step further,
your general will die!
I'm borrowing your horse.
Horse...
Brother Yan Qing is here.
Brother Yan Qing.
What happened?
We hadn't heard any news about you.
Brother Wu Song,
it was tough getting.
Has the Commander
devised a play yet?
The Commander is worried.
I'll take you to him.
Great.
Brother Yan Qing is here.
Commander.
Yan Qing is here.
What are you doing here, Prince?
The Liang Shan gang was here?
Yes.
There were two others
besides the Black Whirlwind.
One of them was Shi Jin,
the Nine Tattooed Dragon.
I'm not sure about the third one.
Three against three.
We need to capture them alive,
so that all of Hangzhou will see
that we are not incompetent.
And it will be a blow to their morale.
I can't wait for
the world to praise us.
This is exactly how I planned it!
That's why I am here.
We'll succeed when
the crowned Prince goes into action.
We better be careful
and keep a low profile.
Where's Zhang Qing
and his wife Sun, the Witch?
I'll go and find them.
Be careful, Shi Jin.
Do you recognize me?
Are you walking around in a disguise,
Your Majesty, the Prince?
No one is winning.
Everyone let go of each other.
We'll fight.
What are you talking about,
Brother Zhang?
Take Fang Tianding.
Shi Jin, you...
What are we doing here?
Have you forgotten?
Let's go.
Shi Jin, I'll stay with you.
It's all because of you.
No...
No...
No way.
Run!
Come on now,
you are the generals.
Are you thirsty?
Don't worry about him.
Let's go home first.
Please come again, sir.
If he insists on drinking,
then this would be a good place.
You go inside
and I'll take a look around.
Okay.
Inform the officials that
the Liang Shan gang is here.
A huge reward goes to
those leading the soldiers.
Go on...
Are you hiding
the Liang Shan outlaws?
I didn't know who they were...
You are not going anywhere,
Shi Jin.
And neither is the Prince.
For the life of Shi Jin...
to trade with
the Prince and a general.
I am very honored.
You heard me... I'm Shi Jin!
Brother Shi Jin?
He died courageously!
He killed Li Tianrun.
We've already lost two brothers...
out of seven of us.
Fang Tianding.
You need to give up your life for
my brothers Shi Jin and Shi Xiu!
Although, you're nothing
compared to them.
Yan Qing snuck out of town,
he must have...
contacted his troops.
I'm sure he'll be back.
He has no idea
about the situation here.
If he goes back to the inn,
he'll find out everything.
If we capture Yan Qing,
the Emperor will be very happy.
Step up security around the inn.
All of our men
need to be disguised as civilians
so that Yan Qing
will walk into our trap.
Yes, sir.
We are not sure
how Yan Qing will enter,
therefore we can't warn him.
I'll keep watch around the inn
and send out a signal
when I see him.
Great, we'll meet up
with you later.
If we can hang him
in front of the palace,
the whole town
will be shocked!
Fang La's army is
always lax before a battle.
Good.
First write the note
and then untie him.
Take him out
while he's still drunk.
We'll treat you to a drink.
Officer, this one has
a serious stomachache.
I don't care.
Please give me a horse.
This man is dying.
Can anyone help us.
It's the Prince.
What's the situation?
The street is full of Fang La's men.
I assume they're waiting for
Yan Qing to fall into their trap.
What should we do?
Yan Qing
will never figure this out.
But we don't know
which way he's coming from.
Let's split up and
cover different grounds.
Brother Zhang,
go with Black Whirlwind.
The Commander
has the perfect plan.
Let the enemy think we're
approaching from the north gate,
but we will actually
invade Yongjinmen.
Brother Zhang
will be there at noon.
We will defeat everyone
when he opens the water gate.
The Commander also said that...
when our troops
invade Yongjinmen,
Fang La will flee
through the north gate.
I'll wait for him there.
Let me have some of the glory.
We will invade at noon.
If the water gate
is not opened by then,
we will be defeated
with our troops at that height.
This is crucial.
Be careful.
Brother Wu, it's time.
You lead the brothers
and distract the garrison troops.
I will enter the city.
I heard that Prince Fang Tianding
was left hanging at the flag pole
outside his father's palace
by the Liang Shan heroes.
And he had
a note written by them
telling the whole town
not to worry.
Last night, half of
Fang La's army ran away.
They had to force some civilians
to guard the gates.
Brother Yan.
Go.
Move.
Sir, you're back?
Your friends
have been waiting for you.
Is that so?
Please ask them to come outside.
Yan Qing, where are you going?
Hurry,
Yan Qing has arrived at the inn!
Lay me down. Put me next to him.
No need to worry! I'm here!
Brother Zhang, let's go.
What are we going to do
about the Black Whirlwind?
Brother Zhang.
It's a bad situation,
but it's all up to us now.
We have to let Brother Li
take care of everything here.
Come on, let's go.
Go.
The Black Whirlwind is here!
Who wants to fight?
Get him!
Wait a second.
What is it?
I heard that you're a good wrestler.
Yes, I am. I've only lost once,
to Brother Yan Qing.
You know, I defeated Yan Qing!
That's nonsense!
You want to wrestle?
Bring it on!
I'm willing to risk my life
just to fight you all!
Come on, huddle up.
Don't let him go.
Go...
Excellent!
Kill him...
Let's go back to the palace.
Invading Yongjinmen
was a good plan.
The guards over there...
drove the boats right inside the city.
They didn't expect
our troops to invade there.
Once our troops take over,
Fang La's army will surrender.
But they do have guards posted there.
Brother Zhang, you...
I'm known as
"White Streak in the Waves".
If I die in the water,
my name will live on forever.
Our army led by Song Jiang
is ready to fight now.
Brother Zhang, you should go now.
Okay.
I'll wait for you at the palace.
Do not let Fang La escape.
It's time.
Brothers, let's make our move!
This time, we will get our revenge.
If Brother Zhang Shun...
There is very little
security at Yongjinmen.
Brother Zhang
is a strong swimmer.
He should be alright.
Don't worry.
Who is in the water?
There's no way.
Maybe it's the fish.
Spears!
Xiaowu.
Brother...
Brother Zhang.
Brother Zhang sacrificed himself.
Brothers, let's kill the enemy!
The Liang Shan troops
have invaded Yongjinmen.
They have entered the city.
Why didn't our troops respond?
There are a countless
number of Liang Shan troops...
who are already in the city.
You should leave soon.
How did they do it?
It was Zhang Shun.
He opened the gate for them.
Your Majesty,
we're running out of time!
Which way?
We're surrounded by them.
I think the north gate is clear.
We can take that path.
Get the army to escort me.
We're losing, Your Majesty!
There are only a few of us left
to escort you out.
Hurry. The Emperor is here.
Let's go fight!
Hurry...
Look what has
happened to the losers.
It seems nobody cares anymore.
I've been waiting for you
for a long time.
Hurry. Leave.
Go.
I'm Yan Qing of Liang Shan.
Where did Fang La go?
He went up the hill.
Your Majesty,
you shouldn't stay long.
You're all very loyal.
You should be my generals.
You're too slow, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, don't worry.
Yan Qing is badly injured.
Yan Qing.
Fang La, I'm proud of myself.
I've just lost one arm
trying to kill you.
I cut off one of your arms,
and you're bragging about it?
Brother Yan Qing.
Brother Wu Song.
They are both dead!
Even though he's already dead,
I'm not going to run away.
Mission accomplished,
but we've lost so many brothers!
Who is that?
Oh, it's you, Yan Qing.
Yes, it's me.
How did you know
that my place was...
Of course, Ms. Li Shishi,
the infamous courtesan.
Your place is often frequented
by the Emperor.
Please don't say that.
You almost got into trouble
the last time you were here.
Why are you...
How did you get in?
It isn't a very tall wall.
It couldn't stop me.
I have a favor to ask.
Not yet...
Since you're here,
I want something from you.
If you oblige, I'll help you.
How can I help you?
Anything at all. You name it.
It's not what you think.
It's just that...
I hear you have tattoos.
I'd like to take a look.
That...
You're no stranger to the brothels.
Yan Qing, the Prodigy.
Don't tell me you're shy.
The same day
The Emperor's here.
Emperor Shen-shang
Your Majesty.
Please stand up.
Leave us.
We're in a brothel,
not in the palace.
There's no need for formalities.
Please have a seat, Your Majesty.
Shishi, come sit beside me.
Please have a drink.
Why don't you play some music?
Aren't you bored with my music?
I've got a surprise for you.
A surprise?
Great... Who is he?
He plays the pipa very well.
He's my brother.
He's been traveling all over,
and has just returned today.
Ask your brother to come outside.
My brother's a criminal on the run.
He's afraid to meet you.
I'll give him a pardon.
If you could write an imperial pardon.
Sure.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Please.
What's your brother's name?
Yan Qing.
There, it's done.
Please come out here
and thank the Emperor.
Your Majesty.
Looks like
you've got a lot of talent
and are not just a common criminal.
You say that
you've committed a crime,
yet the music you played
is so melancholy.
May I ask the nature
of your crime?
I've already written your pardon,
so please tell me.
I'm a general from
the Liang Shan troops.
Liang Shan troops?
Your Majesty, our motto is...
loyalty and righteousness.
We have no intention
of rebelling against you.
We do not harm civilians.
Corrupt officials and
governors are the true enemies.
We just want to help
our country under an amnesty.
Our country is in turmoil,
Fang La is rebelling.
His power is growing in Jiangnan.
He has occupied eight states
and twenty-five counties.
I've been informed that
there are 108 Liang Shan heroes
that are all talented.
Maybe they can conquer
Fang La before the pardon.
If me and my brothers
could be pardoned for
going against Fang,
we would be willing to die for the country.
Well said. You're a good man.
Brother.
Brother.
Xiaowu, go and tell everyone
about what's going on here.
Remember, the iron gate
is linked to the wooden fences.
You have to
open the iron gate first.
That way,
the boats won't be able to enter.
Hurry, go.
Hu San-niang and Lin Chung,
Leaders of Liang Shan

I'll volunteer.
Mr. Lu, of 108 men,
I think Yan Qing
is the best man for the job.
He's smart and fluent
in many dialects.
He is my first pick.
Will you take this job, Yan Qing?
We will be pardoned after
we kill the rebel Fang La.
The Emperor personally
promised this to me.
I am willing to do this.
Will you go with him, Shi Jin?
Of course.
This is a risky expedition.
Be very careful.
This is a great opportunity.
I have spent everything
I have to learn various skills.
Shi Xiu, the Rash.
Brother Shi Xiu.
I will go. Shi Bao killed
my sword brother Yang Xiong.
I want to get even!
Sir, I'm right here.
I want to go too.
You're not allowed to go, Li Kui.
There's no need to yell.
You think you know!
Didn't you hear that Hangzhou
is surrounded by water?
You're a good fighter,

Remember the time

You let all the fish go.
I don't care, I want a big one!
Zhang Shun's here!
Who's making a scene here?
I am.
Black Whirlwind.
Li Kui.
If it wasn't for
Song Jiang and Yuechen...
I would have killed you.
And then what happened?
Black Whirlwind.
Stay put, chicken.
You...
Come up here!
Enough, Brother Li, Brother Zhang.
We need both of you to help out.
Let's go.
We need more than a couple
but too many would spoil the game.
Zhang Qing and his wife Sun
will be there too.
Seven will go in
the first expedition to Hangzhou.
You will be the scouts.
Okay.
Your Majesty.
Go...
Hurry!
Go...
Please help me...
Since His Majesty isn't here yet,
can you please let me through?
My child is sick and
needs a doctor right away.
I've been waiting a long time.
Please, officers...
Do we have a problem here?
But my child is very sick!
This is urgent!
Fine, go ahead.
Thank you.
Don't, it's a trap.
Let me go.
Assassin.
Do you have a sick child back
at home too?
Let's go, hurry.
Go that way.
Come on.
Hurry!
Go...
The Emperor is here.
Move over.
The Emperor is here.
The Emperor has arrived.
General Shi.
Someone was
causing a scene earlier.
He called himself
The Black Whirlwind of Liang Shan.
Has he been arrested?
He fled into the alley.
You've gotten us into trouble.
Well, I won't take this nonsense!
What did the Commander tell you?
What have you done this time?
There are soldiers everywhere.
They're all looking
for the Black Whirlwind.
The news got out that quickly?
Stop bothering me!
If I'm angry enough,
I'll take my axe and...
kill my way through
Fang La's palace!
Brother Li.
Relax.
You'll have the chance
to use your axe.
I wonder if the others
have heard anything...
close to the palace.
The Emperor
is returning to the palace!
Your Majesty.
The Liang Shan outlaws
are closing in on us.
They are less than
200 miles from the city.
We've heard that...
Wu Song is in charge.
Who in the hell does
Wu Song think he is?
They will all die here in Hangzhou.
Fang La returned to
his palace early today.
Our troops must be near.
If they're coming...
we wouldn't be able to
help them in time.
According to what we've seen,
Fang La's strongest army
is in the city.
We are no match for them.
Since we got here...
we haven't done anything.
We will have to take action.
Let's discuss this
with Brother Yan Qing later.
You are responsible for security.
How many are there?
You are my aides in this rebellion.
I'm the emperor
and you are my generals.
The Liang Shan troops
are getting closer.
I can understand chaos
at the front lines.
But this should not
be happening in the city.
Emperor,
I will search every household.
I'll find them all.
There's no need.
That's not their main goal.
You're saying...
They are in the city acting as spies.
We should close the gates
and step up security
around the palace.
General Shi and General Si
will patrol the city.
We have to defend the moat first.
We shouldn't be worrying
about the outlaws.
That's very true.
Order all ten gates to be closed.
No one is to be let thru
without an Imperial order.
Yes.
There are ten gates in Hangzhou.
Four of them are by the lake,
they are...
Qiantangmen, Yongjinmen,
Qingbomen, Qianhumen.
All of their boats are hidden...
behind Qingbomen.
Without boats,
they assume we won't attack.
Yongjinmen has water gates.
If we can pass the water gates
and open the door,
then our navy could
attack them that way.
The army can then go in
from the coastline.
They'll be caught off guard.
All we'll have to do
is inform our Commander
so that the troops can be ready.
As for the job of
opening up the water gates...
Let me go.
Okay, let's go back to the inn first.
All the gates are out of bounds.
They must be getting closer.
How do we contact our troops?
The Commander is waiting for our news.
The gates are shut.
Someone needs to sneak out.
Let's wait until dawn. I've got a plan.
What plan?
It's boring staying inside all day!
Shi Xiu is lucky.
He has already been able to fight.
I don't understand why we...
have to wait until the morning.
All the gates are closed.
Security will be tight at night.
It would be more difficult.
We could use your help
tomorrow, Brother Li.
Would you be okay
if you were alone at the gate?
This is going to be exciting!
Please,
we can't just sacrifice Brother Li.
We don't have enough men.
As long as
I can get out of the city,
you stand by
for assistance and then
get out of there
as soon as possible.
But it could get worse for him.
I...
That's right. Well, forget it.
I swear, I'll leave when I'm told.
This is important.
This isn't a game.
I know.
Go back.
Where are you going?
Can't we leave the city
during the day?
Are you challenging me?
You're the rebels,
but you're accusing me?
Attack!
I am Black Whirlwind Li Kui!
He's the Black Whirlwind.
Go.
Hurry...
Tell Li to retreat.
Brother Li, retreat.
Brother Li.
What are you doing?
These guys are nothing.
If you don't leave,
then we'll leave you.
Fine.
Brother Li is unbelievable.
You guys go ahead.
I'll stay behind with Brother Li.
Shi Xiu.
You are a good brother.
Go.
Bastard!
At least someone
looks important!
Who are you?
So you are
the Black Whirlwind.
Don't you know me?
I am General Shi Bao.
He is Shi Bao.
Brother Shi Xiu.
Run, Brother Li. Get out of here!
That's the Black Whirlwind?
Hold on.
What is it, General?
He's has company,
let me follow him.
Wait for me at the gate,
watch for my signal.
Okay.
Who are you?
General Li Tianrun.
Nice timing.
You can pick up your soldier,
General Bao's body!
And who are you?
Liang Shan hero,
Shi Xiu, the Rash.
Today I took the life of Shi Bao.
I have avenged
my sworn brother Yang Xiong.
Where's Shi Xiu?
He's still fighting.
He asked me to leave first.
Do you think he'll make it?
Let's go first.
I see, you're using a diversion.
Are you going to
inform your troops?
I'm nobody.
I don't understand what you mean.
You are somebody.
Everyone has heard
of Yan Qing, the Prodigy.
You met the Sung Emperor
at the famous courtesan...
Li Shishi's brothel.
You asked for a pardon
on behalf of the 108 men
of Liang Shan.
And you call yourself a nobody?
You've done your research.
I hear you're quite good at wrestling.
You're into wrestling too?
I'm known as
the first wrestler in Jiangnan.
So, you are one of
the four major generals.
General Si Xingfang.
You may be the best wrestler
in Jiangnan,
but I'm the best everywhere.
What do you want?
I'll defeat you,
and then cut your head off
for everyone to see!
Wait. If you lose...
you could still kill me
because you have plenty of men.
The best wrestler of Jiangnan...
is no match for
the best wrestler in the country!
Come on...
If you take one step further,
your general will die!
I'm borrowing your horse.
Horse...
Brother Yan Qing is here.
Brother Yan Qing.
What happened?
We hadn't heard any news about you.
Brother Wu Song,
it was tough getting.
Has the Commander
devised a play yet?
The Commander is worried.
I'll take you to him.
Great.
Brother Yan Qing is here.
Commander.
Yan Qing is here.
What are you doing here, Prince?
The Liang Shan gang was here?
Yes.
There were two others
besides the Black Whirlwind.
One of them was Shi Jin,
the Nine Tattooed Dragon.
I'm not sure about the third one.
Three against three.
We need to capture them alive,
so that all of Hangzhou will see
that we are not incompetent.
And it will be a blow to their morale.
I can't wait for
the world to praise us.
This is exactly how I planned it!
That's why I am here.
We'll succeed when
the crowned Prince goes into action.
We better be careful
and keep a low profile.
Where's Zhang Qing
and his wife Sun, the Witch?
I'll go and find them.
Be careful, Shi Jin.
Do you recognize me?
Are you walking around in a disguise,
Your Majesty, the Prince?
No one is winning.
Everyone let go of each other.
We'll fight.
What are you talking about,
Brother Zhang?
Take Fang Tianding.
Shi Jin, you...
What are we doing here?
Have you forgotten?
Let's go.
Shi Jin, I'll stay with you.
It's all because of you.
No...
No...
No way.
Run!
Come on now,
you are the generals.
Are you thirsty?
Don't worry about him.
Let's go home first.
Please come again, sir.
If he insists on drinking,
then this would be a good place.
You go inside
and I'll take a look around.
Okay.
Inform the officials that
the Liang Shan gang is here.
A huge reward goes to
those leading the soldiers.
Go on...
Are you hiding
the Liang Shan outlaws?
I didn't know who they were...
You are not going anywhere,
Shi Jin.
And neither is the Prince.
For the life of Shi Jin...
to trade with
the Prince and a general.
I am very honored.
You heard me... I'm Shi Jin!
Brother Shi Jin?
He died courageously!
He killed Li Tianrun.
We've already lost two brothers...
out of seven of us.
Fang Tianding.
You need to give up your life for
my brothers Shi Jin and Shi Xiu!
Although, you're nothing
compared to them.
Yan Qing snuck out of town,
he must have...
contacted his troops.
I'm sure he'll be back.
He has no idea
about the situation here.
If he goes back to the inn,
he'll find out everything.
If we capture Yan Qing,
the Emperor will be very happy.
Step up security around the inn.
All of our men
need to be disguised as civilians
so that Yan Qing
will walk into our trap.
Yes, sir.
We are not sure
how Yan Qing will enter,
therefore we can't warn him.
I'll keep watch around the inn
and send out a signal
when I see him.
Great, we'll meet up
with you later.
If we can hang him
in front of the palace,
the whole town
will be shocked!
Fang La's army is
always lax before a battle.
Good.
First write the note
and then untie him.
Take him out
while he's still drunk.
We'll treat you to a drink.
Officer, this one has
a serious stomachache.
I don't care.
Please give me a horse.
This man is dying.
Can anyone help us.
It's the Prince.
What's the situation?
The street is full of Fang La's men.
I assume they're waiting for
Yan Qing to fall into their trap.
What should we do?
Yan Qing
will never figure this out.
But we don't know
which way he's coming from.
Let's split up and
cover different grounds.
Brother Zhang,
go with Black Whirlwind.
The Commander
has the perfect plan.
Let the enemy think we're
approaching from the north gate,
but we will actually
invade Yongjinmen.
Brother Zhang
will be there at noon.
We will defeat everyone
when he opens the water gate.
The Commander also said that...
when our troops
invade Yongjinmen,
Fang La will flee
through the north gate.
I'll wait for him there.
Let me have some of the glory.
We will invade at noon.
If the water gate
is not opened by then,
we will be defeated
with our troops at that height.
This is crucial.
Be careful.
Brother Wu, it's time.
You lead the brothers
and distract the garrison troops.
I will enter the city.
I heard that Prince Fang Tianding
was left hanging at the flag pole
outside his father's palace
by the Liang Shan heroes.
And he had
a note written by them
telling the whole town
not to worry.
Last night, half of
Fang La's army ran away.
They had to force some civilians
to guard the gates.
Brother Yan.
Go.
Move.
Sir, you're back?
Your friends
have been waiting for you.
Is that so?
Please ask them to come outside.
Yan Qing, where are you going?
Hurry,
Yan Qing has arrived at the inn!
Lay me down. Put me next to him.
No need to worry! I'm here!
Brother Zhang, let's go.
What are we going to do
about the Black Whirlwind?
Brother Zhang.
It's a bad situation,
but it's all up to us now.
We have to let Brother Li
take care of everything here.
Come on, let's go.
Go.
The Black Whirlwind is here!
Who wants to fight?
Get him!
Wait a second.
What is it?
I heard that you're a good wrestler.
Yes, I am. I've only lost once,
to Brother Yan Qing.
You know, I defeated Yan Qing!
That's nonsense!
You want to wrestle?
Bring it on!
I'm willing to risk my life
just to fight you all!
Come on, huddle up.
Don't let him go.
Go...
Excellent!
Kill him...
Let's go back to the palace.
Invading Yongjinmen
was a good plan.
The guards over there...
drove the boats right inside the city.
They didn't expect
our troops to invade there.
Once our troops take over,
Fang La's army will surrender.
But they do have guards posted there.
Brother Zhang, you...
I'm known as
"White Streak in the Waves".
If I die in the water,
my name will live on forever.
Our army led by Song Jiang
is ready to fight now.
Brother Zhang, you should go now.
Okay.
I'll wait for you at the palace.
Do not let Fang La escape.
It's time.
Brothers, let's make our move!
This time, we will get our revenge.
If Brother Zhang Shun...
There is very little
security at Yongjinmen.
Brother Zhang
is a strong swimmer.
He should be alright.
Don't worry.
Who is in the water?
There's no way.
Maybe it's the fish.
Spears!
Xiaowu.
Brother...
Brother Zhang.
Brother Zhang sacrificed himself.
Brothers, let's kill the enemy!
The Liang Shan troops
have invaded Yongjinmen.
They have entered the city.
Why didn't our troops respond?
There are a countless
number of Liang Shan troops...
who are already in the city.
You should leave soon.
How did they do it?
It was Zhang Shun.
He opened the gate for them.
Your Majesty,
we're running out of time!
Which way?
We're surrounded by them.
I think the north gate is clear.
We can take that path.
Get the army to escort me.
We're losing, Your Majesty!
There are only a few of us left
to escort you out.
Hurry. The Emperor is here.
Let's go fight!
Hurry...
Look what has
happened to the losers.
It seems nobody cares anymore.
I've been waiting for you
for a long time.
Hurry. Leave.
Go.
I'm Yan Qing of Liang Shan.
Where did Fang La go?
He went up the hill.
Your Majesty,
you shouldn't stay long.
You're all very loyal.
You should be my generals.
You're too slow, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, don't worry.
Yan Qing is badly injured.
Yan Qing.
Fang La, I'm proud of myself.
I've just lost one arm
trying to kill you.
I cut off one of your arms,
and you're bragging about it?
Brother Yan Qing.
Brother Wu Song.
They are both dead!
Even though he's already dead,
I'm not going to run away.
Mission accomplished,
but we've lost so many brothers!
