00:02:09:Ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:11:Away from home,|I rely on the kindness of strangers.
00:02:14:They call me the King of Masks.
00:02:19:I thank you, one and all,|f or your attention.
00:02:22:On my solitary skiff,|I ply the rivers of Sichuan.
00:02:27:Arriving in each honorable town,|I pay a courtesy call...
00:02:31:to the great clans, farmers,|merchants, secret societies...
00:02:34:and even the Christian converts.
00:02:40:Move aside!
00:02:43:Won't you let an old man|do a bit of business?
00:02:46:With better luck, I'd have|a grandson yea tall by now.
00:02:50:Just stop your prattling|and show us your art.
00:03:42:General.
00:03:44:General Liu, it's been ages.
00:03:47:Bureau Chief Huang.|The local big shot!
00:03:51:You're the big wheel 'round here.
00:03:54:Dad! Ma! Here's Tianci.
00:03:56:Gramps!
00:03:58:Good boy. Come here.
00:04:01:Good. Say "Grandpa".
00:04:03:- Come on.|- Gramps.
00:04:06:Silly kid. It's "Grandpa".
00:04:08:- Grandpa.|- Good boy.
00:04:11:The widow kept her lover|a secret to the day she died.
00:04:16:But every wall has its cracks.
00:04:20:I know who it was.
00:04:23:Who? Tell us.
00:04:26:The answer's right under your nose.
00:04:29:He's here among you.
00:04:32:Fearing exposure,|he's about to flee.
00:04:36:Soon as he does, I'll let you know.
00:04:42:Dad, look!
00:05:05:I've heard the Living Bodhisattva|is really a man.
00:05:08:Silly girl!|That's the famous Liang Sulan.
00:05:12:The hottest female impersonator|in Sichuan opera!
00:05:17:Touch his lotus throne,|and a healthy son will be yours.
00:05:23:Really? Let's go do it!
00:05:25:Wait!
00:07:18:Here.
00:07:21:It's not easy for you.
00:07:41:The Living Bodhisattva!
00:07:44:Master Liang!
00:08:08:You are truly a performer's performer.
00:08:10:In all my travels...
00:08:14:I've seen nothing so marvelous|as your art!
00:08:19:Yours is a rare art indeed.
00:08:23:Neither Peking nor Shaanxi opera|have anything like it.
00:08:28:Sichuan opera is famed|for transformations...
00:08:32:but they are paltry|compared to your magic.
00:08:36:The same potion brews differently|in different hands.
00:08:42:Every beggar's got his own stick|for beating off dogs.
00:08:46:Though my skills be meager,|only a son may inherit them.
00:08:51:It's an ancient rule.
00:08:55:Master Liang.
00:08:56:Though mine is a small teacup,|it doesn't leak.
00:09:02:You misunderstand.
00:09:04:I'm not trying to steal your secrets.
00:09:11:Merchants form businesses,|we artists form troupes.
00:09:13:Ropes aren't made|from single strands.
00:09:16:Why not join my troupe?|Split the profits...
00:09:21:and add some color|to our repertoire.
00:09:24:That's like asking|two peaks to merge.
00:09:30:I'm a loner...
00:09:32:used to my solitary ways.
00:09:35:Tell me, Old Master,|have you a disciple?
00:09:45:It's a terrible thought...
00:09:48:but what if--
00:09:50:I was to die without an heir?
00:09:56:A minor matter...
00:09:60:I'll carry to the grave.
00:10:05:How callous of me!
00:10:08:I've hurt your feelings.
00:10:11:Old Master, we each decide|our own course.
00:10:18:Generals never dismount,|but gallop on.
00:10:22:Thank you, brother,|for your patronage.
00:10:25:We're even now.
00:10:29:I wouldn't dare presume.
00:10:32:No one values girls.
00:10:36:Even you'll only make|a boy your heir.
00:10:41:As for me...
00:10:43:I'm a minor character,|half a woman.
00:10:49:I'm not worthy of being called|"brother" by you.
00:10:52:I've spoken out of place.
00:10:56:We all have our own sorrows.
00:11:05:Old Master, find yourself an heir.
00:11:10:Don't let your magic die.
00:11:22:Buy a Goddess of Mercy.
00:11:26:Give birth to a son.
00:11:33:Have a look.
00:11:45:I want one|for the giving of sons.
00:11:48:She looks after all those|in misery.
00:11:52:This is the one you want.
00:11:54:A son is guaranteed.
00:11:57:It's five copper coins.
00:12:02:Take care.
00:12:08:Grandpa.
00:12:09:Grandpa, I don't want money.
00:12:12:I'll clean and cook for you.
00:12:18:Oh, dear.|I want a boy, not a girl.
00:12:29:You don't have to pay a cent, sir.
00:12:33:Just take her, please.
00:12:36:- You're from Shaanxi as well?|- Yes, kind sir.
00:12:39:But I need a boy.
00:12:42:If you'll feed her,|I'll be content.
00:12:45:Kind sir.
00:12:47:Go. Just go.
00:13:14:Sir, just two dollars.
00:13:16:Two dollars, and he's yours.
00:13:18:He's too small.|Can't afford him.
00:13:22:Sir, two dollars only!
00:13:30:Grandpa!
00:13:35:Grandpa!
00:13:60:How old are you?
00:14:02:He's eight. My own son.
00:14:05:If it weren't for the floods,|I wouldn't be doing this.
00:14:09:Ten dollars and he's yours.
00:14:13:Ten dollars?
00:14:17:You think I'm the God of Wealth?
00:14:25:Five then.
00:14:30:Grandpa!
00:15:02:It fits like it was made for him.
00:15:06:Come. Try on these pants.
00:15:47:Doggie. Look.
00:15:50:- A little boat!|- That's our home.
00:16:07:Here, General.
00:16:14:Doggie.
00:16:16:Come here.
00:16:18:Grandpa!
00:16:23:Grandpa!
00:16:27:Grandpa!
00:16:32:Grandpa, you scared me.
00:16:57:Grandpa!
00:17:29:Don't wolf it down.
00:17:33:Eat slowly. It's all yours.
00:17:51:Doggie, where's home for you?
00:17:56:Here, Grandpa.
00:18:01:I mean, where do you come from?
00:18:03:A place under floodwater.
00:18:09:What's your surname?
00:18:13:Dad says it's Liu.
00:18:18:Your dad? That was your dad?
00:18:25:Don't be ridiculous. Your dad?
00:18:29:What father could sell|his son dry-eyed?
00:18:32:He's a slave trader.
00:18:58:Your dad?
00:18:60:Bastard!
00:19:02:He's a fucking heartless man.
00:19:06:I wouldn't hit a monkey like that.
00:19:13:Poor little melon,|tossed in with a black-hearted turnip!
00:19:19:Grandpa.
00:19:29:Don't cry. Don't cry.
00:19:33:Your luck's changed.
00:19:37:Your name's King now.
00:19:43:You'll be my grandson.|No one would dare strike you now!
00:20:02:Your grandma ran off on me...
00:20:07:thirty years ago.
00:20:09:I was too poor for her.
00:20:12:She left me and our baby boy.
00:20:16:I was mother and father to him.
00:20:21:Changed his diapers,|watched him grow.
00:20:26:When he was ten,|he got sick and died.
00:20:35:If he were alive today...
00:20:38:he'd be 31.
00:20:42:Grandpa's had a tough life.
00:20:47:I've got no one left
00:20:53:I'm lonely and bereft
00:21:01:Doggie.
00:21:03:I'm an old man.|I'll die one day.
00:21:07:Don't die!|What'll I do if you die, Grandpa?
00:21:13:I don't want to die.
00:21:15:But it's not up to us.
00:21:19:I've been afraid no one|will carry on the family line...
00:21:26:and that my art will die with me.
00:21:31:Be a good boy and work hard...
00:21:35:and I'll give you my love...
00:21:38:and my art.
00:21:41:Do you understand?
00:21:42:I want to learn|"change-face" opera, Grandpa.
00:21:45:Good! And I will teach it to you...
00:21:49:and only you.
00:21:52:It's a family heirloom,|not for outsiders.
00:21:58:And not for girls.
00:22:11:Grandpa, I'll do that for you.
00:22:16:Here, this.
00:22:20:What cold little paws!
00:22:37:A little higher.
00:22:50:Higher. Higher.
00:23:59:Where are you going, Doggie?
00:24:02:To have a pee.
00:24:07:Stand at the prow of the boat.
00:24:09:All right.|Go back to sleep, Grandpa.
00:24:18:Careful. Don't fall overboard.
00:24:29:Go away.
00:24:58:One silver dollar and 28 coppers.
00:25:04:So expensive!
00:25:06:Sure is.
00:25:10:PAWN SHOP
00:25:19:It's so early.
00:25:20:Please help. My child's ill,|and I can't afford the medicine.
00:25:28:What'll you give me for this?
00:25:30:Have a good look at it.
00:25:34:It's been in the family|for generations.
00:25:37:Two dollars.
00:25:39:Surely, just a bit more. It's--
00:25:45:All right. If it's two, it's two.
00:25:56:- It's bitter.|- I say it's sweet...
00:25:58:and you'd better drink it up.
00:26:01:Hold onto the bowl.
00:26:59:Old Master.
00:27:04:You've come to see the opera?|Who's the boy?
00:27:09:Boy? My grandson.
00:27:12:Congratulations, Old Master!
00:27:15:Best wishes to you too!
00:27:17:Come here and|take a photo with him.
00:27:22:- Come on up.|- We shouldn't.
00:27:24:It's no trouble.
00:27:29:- Master Liang.|- Come on up.
00:27:31:Bow to Master Liang.
00:27:33:He's so excited!
00:27:38:Stand straight. Look at me.
00:27:47:- Hello, boss.|- Off to the opera?
00:27:50:Beimang Peak.|Master Liang is famous for it!
00:27:53:It's a good opera.
00:28:12:Pardon me.|I'd like to try my luck.
00:28:34:Great!
00:28:39:Eat up.
00:28:47:Once more!
00:28:49:What a skill!
00:28:55:Grandpa!
00:28:59:Get some wine|from over there.
00:29:03:Hurry!
00:29:06:Grandpa cut his foot!|He needs wine. Hurry!
00:29:12:- All right. Just a sec.|- Hurry!
00:29:18:Boss--
00:29:20:King, what happened?
00:29:27:Grandpa.
00:29:37:Boss. Light this.
00:29:44:- Doggie, piss on it.|- Piss?
00:29:48:Boys's piss mixed with cloth ashes|will stop the bleeding.
00:29:53:I can't.
00:29:54:Piss! What's the fuss?|Take down your pants.
00:29:59:No--
00:30:00:What's with you?
00:30:05:I-- I'm a girl!
00:30:12:What? I must've been blind.
00:30:31:- Grandpa.|- Leave me alone.
00:30:34:So young and yet such a crook.
00:30:36:I'm a stupid pig,|letting you trick me like that.
00:30:45:I'm not a crook.|I've been sold seven times.
00:30:50:'Cause I'm a girl...
00:30:53:they've all abused me.
00:30:55:Only you've treated me well...
00:30:60:like family.
00:31:02:I was scared you wouldn't want me.
00:31:14:Grandpa.
00:31:17:Don't sell me.
00:31:22:Who'd want you anyway?
00:31:27:I can't believe I was fooled|by a little girl.
00:31:33:I won't sell you.
00:31:37:But I can't keep you either.
00:31:45:Here's some money.
00:31:47:Good luck.
00:31:55:Grandpa!
00:31:58:Grandpa! I'll cook and clean.
00:32:03:I'll scratch your back.|Just don't send me away!
00:32:08:Grandpa! Grandpa!
00:32:22:Grandpa!
00:32:42:Stupid girl! Trying to kill yourself?
00:32:50:Grandpa! Grandpa!
00:32:57:Doggie!
00:33:43:You're like a leech|on a cormorant's foot.
00:33:46:Can't shake you off.
00:33:50:Grandpa! Grandpa!
00:33:52:Don't call me that.
00:33:58:I'm Boss to you now.
00:33:60:You'll work for me.
00:34:02:If you work hard, you can stay on.
00:34:06:Otherwise, we go our separate ways.|Understand?
00:34:09:Yes. I'll work very hard.
00:34:14:Stupid girl.
00:34:17:Making trouble for yourself.
00:34:42:Lower!
00:34:45:Flip over.
00:34:59:Doggie!
00:35:30:Uncles, aunties,|ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:32:Observe the skill|of this seven-year-old child.
00:35:43:She's a novice.|If she does well, clap your hands.
00:35:50:Bravo!
00:35:57:If you show your appreciation|in cash, all the better.
00:36:55:Catch.
00:36:59:Thank you.
00:37:02:Take care.
00:37:08:Mate. You've got my money.
00:37:11:Now tell me how you do it.
00:37:13:Yes, show us your tricks.|Open your eyes.
00:37:17:Yeah, come on.|We'll put our money where our mouth is.
00:37:19:My dear soldiers,|it's a family secret.
00:37:23:I wouldn't sell it|for a thousand taels of gold.
00:37:27:All I can say is 2 plus 2|is the opposite of take.
00:37:32:Please "four-give" me.
00:37:34:Leading us on,|you ungenerous bastard?
00:37:36:Never mind.|We're not going to force you.
00:37:43:Gotta be going.|We'll meet again.
00:37:46:- Hand it over.|- What?
00:37:48:- The money.|- Money?
00:37:52:You're as sneaky with money|as a cat with food.
00:37:56:But you don't show us,|you don't keep the money.
00:38:02:I wouldn't dare keep your money.
00:38:04:The world's a big place.|We'll meet again.
00:38:10:Wait a minute.|I gave you two strings of cash.
00:38:15:Yes, now cough up the other one.
00:38:19:Cough it up.
00:38:20:You treat me|like a performing monkey.
00:38:24:Tomorrow I'm off to war.
00:38:26:Like a meatball thrown at a dog,|I won't be coming back.
00:38:30:You wouldn't even give us|some face, you bastard.
00:38:32:All I wanted was a bit of knowledge|before I died.
00:38:36:So you're a monkey.|Show us your tricks. Make us happy.
00:38:42:My master will only teach|his art to a son.
00:38:45:It can only be passed on to boys,|not girls or outsiders.
00:38:49:He won't even show me.|Who do you think you are?
00:38:52:Little shit!
00:38:54:Don't take offense, gentlemen.|She's only a child.
00:38:60:Look, you want to see|how it's done?
00:39:03:All right, I'll show you|and destroy my living.
00:39:08:But if it will make you all happy...
00:39:11:stand closer and watch.
00:39:34:Gentlemen, it's simple really.
00:39:38:It's all in the hands.
00:39:40:A few weeks' practice and you too|can be a King of Masks.
00:39:47:Good man! We'll study with you|when we return from war.
00:39:54:Here's some money for you, King.
00:40:11:Boss.
00:40:15:You didn't really show them,|did you?
00:40:26:A dragon in the shallows
00:40:30:Is toyed with by shrimps
00:40:34:A tiger out of the jungle
00:40:38:Can be tormented by a dog
00:41:03:Giving up drink?
00:41:06:Haven't seen you for ten days.
00:41:10:Drinking's the only vice|I have left.
00:41:14:If I gave that up, what'd be left?
00:41:21:Help yourself.|It's fresh. Jasmine.
00:41:32:This is your adopted grandson?
00:41:40:Son, daughter, who cares.
00:41:43:It's an extra pair of hands.
00:41:45:Better than being on my own.
00:41:49:True.
00:41:52:Heard you refused|Master Liang's offer.
00:42:01:It wouldn't exactly|have been a piece of cake.
00:42:05:He's as sharp...
00:42:07:as a whip...
00:42:11:and as famous as you can be.
00:42:15:I'm just a street performer.
00:42:18:I'd be way out of my depth.
00:42:24:They say he offered you 100 dollars.
00:42:30:It was kind of him.
00:42:33:I'm happy to be friends.
00:42:39:But even 100 dollars|runs out after a while.
00:42:43:I look after myself,|ask nothing from anyone.
00:42:48:You can never be too talented.
00:42:56:Is there water in this wine?|Or rather, wine in this water?
00:43:01:Boss!
00:43:03:Coming.
00:43:06:Relax. I might do that to others.|Not to you, though.
00:43:14:Boss, this wine seems watered down.
00:43:17:That's slander!|Certainly not.
00:43:20:What gall! Water in the wine!|Try it yourself.
00:43:30:- Good morning.|- Finished up?
00:44:02:Did you steal this?
00:44:06:Aren't you the capable one?
00:44:11:Take it back.
00:44:29:What do you want, Doggie?
00:44:32:Just looking.
00:44:35:What're you doing?
00:44:38:Just looking.
00:44:41:Looking?
00:44:50:Don't go.
00:45:59:All right.
00:46:02:A bit higher.
00:46:05:Doggie, I'll tell you something.
00:46:10:If you've got skill and talent...
00:46:13:the world is yours.
00:46:17:I've never stolen...
00:46:20:or begged from anyone.
00:46:25:I've relied solely on my skills.
00:46:27:Higher.
00:46:31:Give General some more|sweet potato.
00:46:35:- Later I'll take you to the opera.|- The opera?
00:46:39:Master Liang is in his famous role|in Attaining Nirvana.
00:46:47:The evil leader|of his insignificant kingdom...
00:46:49:has entered the Buddhist hell...
00:46:53:his soul never to be released!
00:46:59:Hear the judgment of the law.
00:47:14:Oh, Buddhist patriarchs!
00:47:19:Be merciful.
00:47:24:The princess arrives|on the Boat of Kindness.
00:47:30:Bravo!
00:47:41:Oh, patriarchs.
00:47:47:The burning of|White Sparrow Temple...
00:47:50:was not my father's intention.
00:47:53:He fell into a trap set|by a wicked minister.
00:47:56:Please, hear me out|in my sincerity...
00:48:00:and spare the life|of my father, the king.
00:48:07:The laws of Heaven|make no exception.
00:48:15:If you will show no compassion...
00:48:18:I shall cut this rope...
00:48:21:and fall into the pit of death...
00:48:23:so that I may share|my father's suffering!
00:48:28:No, my daughter!
00:48:33:Princess, you mustn't|take your life so lightly.
00:48:36:Pay her no heed.
00:48:39:Let her do as she will.
00:48:44:Father!
00:48:47:Daughter!
00:48:50:Father!
00:48:53:Daughter!
00:48:55:I haven't been as filial|as I could have been.
00:49:31:Amitabha!
00:49:37:Buddha of Infinite Qualities.
00:49:45:She's attained Nirvana!|Set off the firecrackers!
00:50:21:Where's Young Master?
00:50:23:Tianci?
00:50:25:Where'd Tianci go?
00:50:30:Tianci!
00:50:32:Find him!
00:50:37:Boss.
00:50:38:If the princess died,|how did she come back in the end?
00:50:44:She turned into a god,|like Bodhisattva.
00:50:47:She's a good person, then?
00:50:49:She does good deeds|and rescues souls in strife.
00:50:56:Come on, Doggie.
00:51:08:Boss.
00:51:41:Eat up, Boss.
00:51:49:If only you were a boy.
00:51:52:What do boys have that I don't?
00:51:57:Just a little teapot spout.
00:52:03:Does the goddess|have a teapot spout?
00:52:05:What goddess?
00:52:07:Bodhisattva.
00:52:16:Look, she's got bosoms.|Why do you worship her?
00:52:27:Grandpas and grandmas,|uncles and aunties.
00:52:31:Please bear with my meager skills.
00:52:34:I'll thank you if you give money|and if you don't.

00:52:44:Thank you, auntie!|Thank you, uncle!
00:52:59:Go away.
00:54:46:Grandpa!
00:54:49:Boss! Boss!
00:54:52:Boss! Fire!
00:54:55:Help! Fire!

00:57:35:I meant to send it to you earlier.
00:57:39:You're too kind.
00:57:43:And how's the little grandson?
00:57:47:Gone off to play.
00:57:49:How's he doing?|He's surely learnt much by now.
00:57:54:Not much to brag about. It'll do.
00:58:01:- How much for a sweet potato?|- Two cents a catty.
00:58:04:- One catty, please.|- One catty.
00:58:13:Take care.
00:58:29:Little devil, stealing potatoes,|are you? Looking for a hiding?
00:58:34:Halt right there!
00:58:36:Try that again and see if|I don't beat you to death.
00:58:47:Hurry.
00:59:04:- Who's there?|- Me.
00:59:08:I've picked up another one.|No willie on her, though.

00:59:28:Go on.
00:59:41:Go up. Go.

01:03:52:Come on. Careful. Hurry.
01:04:37:What?
01:05:30:You're sweet, but you'll|never be a real grandson.
01:05:42:Grandma's bridge is nigh...
01:05:47:Grandma says I'm a sweetie pie.
01:05:54:Where's Grandma's house?
01:05:56:By the river.

01:06:46:I miss Grandpa.
01:06:50:I do too.
01:06:55:Tomorrow I'll take you|to see Grandpa.
01:07:00:My grandpa's the King of Masks.
01:07:05:He's great!
01:07:09:He'll feed you rice...
01:07:12:and yummy meat dishes.
01:08:06:Faithful one.
01:08:10:Have you come to pray for an heir?
01:08:28:Buddha, be merciful!
01:08:31:I just want to ask|if in this lifetime...
01:08:36:I will have an heir|to continue the family line.
01:08:43:Guo Ziyi had many children|in his home.
01:08:50:Dou Yanshan's five sons|with glory shone.
01:08:55:The Yangs produced eight generals,|tigers all.
01:09:00:You have one stick of joss|in your ancestral hall.
01:09:04:Amazing!
01:09:07:Alas, my one little seedling--
01:09:12:Was trampled.
01:09:14:Don't despair.
01:09:18:Luck and misfortune|are intertwined.
01:09:22:Your fate holds a grandson.
01:09:27:Where is he then?
01:09:31:You will find him|to the north of here, by water.
01:09:49:To the north, by water?
01:10:28:- Grandpa!|- Who's your grandpa?

01:10:35:Who are you? What's your name?
01:10:38:Tianci.
01:10:41:Tianci-- "Heaven sent"?
01:10:49:You've a little teapot spout!
01:10:52:You really are heaven sent!
01:11:26:Tianci...
01:11:29:tell Grandpa where you live.
01:11:36:Dunno!
01:11:41:What's your surname?
01:11:43:It's Tianci.
01:11:47:- Who brought you here?|- Sister.
01:11:52:Sister?
01:11:57:What sister?
01:12:02:Was it-- Where is she?
01:12:07:Doggie!
01:12:11:Doggie!
01:12:15:Doggie!
01:12:22:Our country has witnessed...
01:12:25:numerous child kidnappings.
01:12:28:Tianci, 4, was taken from|the prominent Wen family.
01:12:33:He is 3'2", round face, black eyes...
01:12:39:and was wearing brown pants|and a blue gown.

01:14:09:Mommy was worried|to death about you.
01:14:13:The King of Masks?
01:14:15:Seems to be quite famous|round these parts.
01:14:18:He abducts people's children?
01:14:22:- And the Wen child?|- He's been taken home.
01:14:30:What's that?
01:14:32:A monkey. When we arrested him,|the monkey followed.
01:14:39:Officer.
01:14:44:What's going on?
01:14:47:The literati have their forums,|the military their schools...
01:14:50:the secret societies their hails|and performers their stages.
01:14:53:Surely, there is a place for reason.
01:14:55:Stop prattling. What's your name?
01:14:58:- My humble surname--|- Stand up to speak!
01:15:02:Is Wang.|They call me King of Masks.
01:15:06:So we've heard.|A real street character.
01:15:10:I wouldn't presume.
01:15:14:I've only got a minor place|in the Green Dragon Society.
01:15:18:I trust my mates to look after me.
01:15:31:Who are you calling your mates?
01:15:34:If you belong to them,|you know the rules.
01:15:40:Break the rules|and take the consequences.
01:15:43:You make your bed, you lie in it.
01:15:49:Now tell us how|you've abducted those children.
01:15:55:I swear before heaven and earth...
01:15:57:and may I be struck down|by lightning if I lie...
01:15:60:I wouldn't dare do such a thing.
01:16:02:Don't try confusing us|with fancy talk.
01:16:05:I'm asking you, how did the Wen boy|end up on your boat?
01:16:11:- You mean Tianci?|- Yes.
01:16:14:It was Doggie|who brought him to me.
01:16:18:- Doggie?|- Yes.
01:16:19:She knew I wanted|an heir, a grandson.
01:16:23:Go on.
01:16:27:Which gang does Doggie belong to?
01:16:30:What sort of nickname is that?|An outsider or a local?
01:16:34:Neither.
01:16:36:She's just a little girl.
01:16:43:About so tall and eight years old.
01:16:45:An eight-year-old girl?
01:16:48:Bullshit! Looks like you've got|a big-time case to answer for.
01:16:55:Ready to confess yet?
01:17:01:Hit him again.
01:17:04:Confess!
01:17:08:Sir, we wore him down.
01:17:14:He's signed.
01:17:25:Good.
01:17:27:Let's hang all|the kidnapping cases on him...
01:17:33:and solve them in one stroke.
01:17:38:Hurry.
01:17:52:General! Come here.
01:17:57:So, you've got company.
01:18:03:He even volunteered for jail.
01:18:12:Old man, here's a chamber pot.
01:18:20:At least you won't be lonely.
01:18:23:My grandpa didn't steal|anyone's child. It was me.
01:18:29:I don't know anything|about your grandpa's case.
01:18:32:But it'd be a damn shame|if he were to die.
01:18:37:Look, you go and play for a while.
01:18:41:When I'm off, I'll meet you|at the gate and get you in.
01:18:47:Boss!
01:18:53:Boss! Boss!
01:18:56:I only wanted you|to have a grandson.
01:18:60:I never thought|I'd get you into trouble.
01:19:05:Boss! It's so unfair!
01:19:11:So unfair!
01:19:14:If there's mud in your pants...
01:19:17:people will say you shit in them.
01:19:22:Boss, punish me!
01:19:26:Can't dodge what fate's got in store.
01:19:32:Doggie, I don't blame you.
01:19:38:It's fate. I accept it.
01:19:43:Boss!
01:19:45:I've brought your|most precious things.
01:19:49:What precious things?|Let me have a look.
01:19:53:Your masks, King of Masks.
01:19:58:Take them with you to hell|to scare off the demons.
01:20:19:I've played with these my whole life.
01:20:26:They're useless now.
01:20:29:Didn't bring them into the world;|can't take them when I go.
01:20:36:I've broken the tradition.
01:20:40:Broken it.
01:20:42:Boss!
01:20:46:It'll truly be a lost art.
01:20:53:Boss!
01:21:04:Don't cry, Doggie.
01:21:08:In a former life...
01:21:11:I must've wronged you badly...
01:21:14:and now I'm repaying the debt.
01:21:21:It was karma.
01:21:35:Doggie...
01:21:39:take General with you.
01:21:44:I've given you comfort...
01:21:47:taught you some skills.
01:21:53:Burn spirit money for me...
01:21:57:in the Ghost Festivals...
01:22:01:and you'll have done|the right thing by me.
01:22:05:Boss!
01:22:16:Boss!
01:22:17:Don't cry.
01:22:20:You old bastard,|your granddaughter's saying good-bye...
01:22:24:and you can't even give her a smile.
01:22:26:- Come on.|- Boss! Boss!
01:23:06:Come here, Doggie! Quick.
01:23:13:What are you planning|to do about Grandpa?
01:23:18:I don't know.
01:23:20:Tears are no use.
01:23:22:You know the Living Bodhisattva?
01:23:28:The opera singer?
01:23:31:He's Grandpa's friend|and a big shot in this country.
01:23:36:I think only he can help.
01:23:40:Go find him.
01:24:10:Living Bodhisattva!
01:24:36:Living Bodhisattva!
01:25:11:Master Liang, you'll catch a chill.
01:25:15:No need. Spring is here.
01:25:42:Living Bodhisattva, Master Liang!
01:25:45:And you are?
01:25:47:I'm Doggie,|the King of Masks' grandson.
01:25:51:The King's grandson? Doggie?
01:25:57:Weren't you a boy?
01:26:03:No, I was sold.
01:26:10:What are you doing here?
01:26:12:Grandpa's been arrested.
01:26:15:You've got to save him!
01:26:19:You're the only one who can.
01:26:22:What's this all about?
01:26:24:It's the grandson|of the King of Masks!
01:26:26:Tell me what happened|to Grandpa, child.
01:26:30:Come. Get up. Come.
01:26:36:Come on. She needs care.
01:26:41:The lightest breeze can blow you|inside the prison gates...
01:26:47:but the strongest ox|can't pull you out again.
01:26:51:Yet if he dies on|these trumped-up charges...
01:26:55:his art will die with him.
01:26:57:Such a pity.
01:27:01:Oh, please, save him!
01:27:05:He has no other family.
01:27:17:You are a fine, filial child.
01:27:21:I'll do my best.
01:27:26:Have some water.
01:27:37:I've never even served|my own father this well.
01:27:42:But you don't have long to live.
01:27:48:The monk has no sons,|but so many are filial to him.
01:27:53:You've always got a snappy answer.
01:27:58:You can sacrifice your body|but not lose an argument.
01:28:01:You've only got five days left.|Can't you say something nice?
01:28:13:I've been framed.
01:28:24:Framed!
01:28:33:They said it was a local matter...
01:28:36:rather involved too.
01:28:44:They told me to stay out of it.
01:28:48:Li Xiang.
01:28:50:Give the child a bit of money.|Help her out.
01:29:07:Doggie.
01:29:10:I can't save your grandpa.
01:29:20:Doggie.
01:29:27:We're just actors, both of us.
01:29:36:We don't count for much in society.
01:29:41:Master Liang.
01:29:49:A sweet man doth seem this king
01:29:52:I shall test him with my flirting
01:29:55:And see if my hopes|to him might cling
01:31:25:My horse, of Groom|to me now bring
01:31:39:The generals must be hastening
01:32:09:General, you are a truly fine drummer|and excellent singer.
01:32:14:Really outstanding.
01:32:16:The opera fans have really|had a treat tonight!
01:32:20:Everyone, today is my 66th birthday.
01:32:26:Please join me for a feast|at the Hall of Drunken Fairies.
01:32:31:Great!
01:32:32:General!
01:32:35:The King of Masks was framed!
01:32:38:Doggie?
01:32:39:What opera is this?
01:32:42:General, it's not an opera.|It's a plea for help.
01:32:46:Doggie, are you crazy?
01:32:48:General, the King of Masks|is no kidnapper!
01:32:53:I rescued that boy|and took him to the King.
01:32:56:What is she talking about?
01:32:58:I spoke to you about this|a few days ago.
01:33:02:I asked you to look into it.
01:33:03:I told you the army can't interfere|in local matters.
01:33:08:What--
01:33:09:If you won't help,|I'll cut the rope and die.
01:33:13:Don't be silly, Doggie!
01:33:18:She's just trying to scare us.
01:33:21:I don't believe she'll do it.
01:33:24:Let's go eat.
01:33:29:- General!|- General!
01:33:34:Doggie!
01:34:23:General!
01:34:26:Are you truly not moved|by this child's actions...
01:34:30:and her plea?
01:34:35:Can you just stand by|and do nothing?
01:34:39:Do you have a heart of stone?
01:34:49:Well, thank you for|your previous kindness, but...
01:34:55:I am taking this girl off|to find justice...
01:35:00:and will traverse the whole country|if I have to.
01:35:09:A terrible injustice has been done!
01:35:15:A terrible injustice has been done!
01:35:25:Hold it!
01:35:32:You live up to your nickname|of the Living Bodhisattva.
01:35:39:Though merely an actor,|you have courage and character.
01:35:44:I may be a soldier,|but I'm not a bastard.
01:35:50:She's touched my heart too.
01:35:53:I'll take care of this matter!
01:36:21:A drop of compassion deserves|a wellspring of gratitude.
01:36:27:I really don't know how to--
01:36:38:You know, back then...
01:36:41:I didn't appreciate your offer.
01:36:47:I'm happy to show you now--
01:36:52:You misunderstand.
01:36:54:I wouldn't dream of taking|advantage of your misfortune.
01:36:58:I wouldn't be worthy of|the brotherhood of the streets if I did.
01:37:03:The world is a cold place...
01:37:09:but we can bring warmth to it.
01:37:13:What other enjoyment|would there be to life?
01:37:17:Master Liang.
01:37:23:Please, Old Master, rise.
01:37:26:Please, rise.
01:37:30:Sit down.
01:37:35:You shouldn't thank me anyway.|Thank Doggie.
01:37:42:Doggie is your true savior.
01:38:09:Doggie!
01:38:23:Doggie!
01:38:26:Boss!
01:38:30:Doggie!
01:38:33:Call me Grandpa.
01:38:43:Grandpa!
01:38:46:Grandpa!
01:38:50:Grandpa!
01:39:18:Grandpa! Grandpa!
