Wu du (Five Deadly Venoms) (1978) Movie Script
Medicine. Hurry up!
Medicine!
Master
For all these years,
I've been trying to save myself
Now I think I can't make it
Yang De
You've been studying for 3 years.
You know
I'm the head of the Five Venoms House
Yes
It is a well known enemy
of the martial arts world
We live here quietly
Over here we may talk about
the House openly
But when you enter the boxer's world
A mere mention of the name of the House
...is likely to put you in great danger
Why?
We didn't do anything wrong
Did we?
You don't understand
Before you came here,
the House had accepted 5 students
at different times
I have 5 seniors?
What are their names?
Where are they?
When our student leaves here,
the first thing to do
is to have a new name
They must keep...
their backgrounds as secret as possible
These 5 students of mine
some of them didn't know each other
You learned part of the...
martial arts as they had learned here
But your skills
aren't sophisticated enough
I won't live any longer
After you learn their skills
I want you to do something for me
First I will let you know in detail
...the skills I've taught them
These are the art of the House
It used to be the training room
You have five seniors
I will start with the eldest one
He's Zhang Yiaotian
He's practicing the Centipede Style
His nickname is "Thousand Hands"
He is well-known for his quick moves
It's like he's having thousands of hands
The second one is called Qi Dong
He's practicing the Snake style
He's nicknamed, "Snake Spirit Dude"
The right is the head of the snake,
on the left the tail
He's famous for his responsive moves,
fast just like a snake
The third one is called Gao Ji
He's practicing the Scorpion style
In this style,
the hand moves like a cutter
the feet like a scorpion's tail
I accepted him later than them
The eldest and the second
didn't know each other
Before them,
I took in your fourth and fifth seniors
The fourth one is called Meng Tianxia
He's older than the second and third one
He's learning the Gecko style
He's trained to have a light body
and strong legs
So he could crawl with ease
He also made use of the rebound force
...to enhance his own power
Your fifth senior Liang Shen
He's practicing the Toad style
Meng and Liang didn't meet
the other seniors as well
The Toad Work at its full strength
can resist the attack of
swords and spears
It can break hard objects too
You came here for a very short time
I made a mistake
to teach you all these skills
As such,
you're not good at any one of them
If you were to fight against
any of your seniors
You're no match for them
I don't have time
left to teach you further
You've got to combine your own skills
...with any work of the House
Then you may take on any of them
Our Five Venoms House
has done many bad things
I don't know
if your seniors behave themselves
...in the boxer's world outside
It's my decision to abort
the Five Venoms House
Now the responsibility is yours
Master, I...
You're to finish them for me
You'll leave here tomorrow
...to locate the 5 of them
and keep an eye on their behavior
You may leave, the one who...
behaves well, alone
and take on the one who doesn't
Master
It's a big, big world outside of people
They've changed their name already
Besides,
unless it reaches a very critical moment,
we won't reveal our skills
Master
You must do it for me
I promise you I'll
I know it's a difficult task
If they discover your background,
you'll be in great danger
Master
My safety isn't important
Where should I go?
There's one more disciple of our House
He happens to be my junior classmate
But he had retired from the boxer's world
He still possesses
some precious treasures
They're the ill-gotten gains of the House
He leads a quiet life in a small town
At present
I just know the name of the town
but not exactly his name or identity
You find him and ask him...
to donate the treasure for charity
My intuition tells me
the treasure is the source of disasters
I think the 5 senior schoolmates of yours
...are trying to look for it
How skillful is he as a boxer?
He's no match for your seniors
Mr. He
Mr. He
Yuanxin, you're a policeman
You better behave yourself
You shouldn't eat irresponsibly
lt'll be greatly appreciated
...if you give me face
I've always owed you many a favour
Yuanxin, don't ruin your reputation
because of petty gains
Please spare me goodness
next time when Mr. Ma isn't around
Ma is a disciplined man
I can't take advantage because of him
No kidding, Mr. He
What is it?
The habitual gambler lost money to me
Screw you
Master
Who were the two men?
Well, they're Mr. He
...and Mr. Ma
They're the officers of the court
Mr. He is very kind
and willing to help
If I want to find someone
I'm the right person to ask
I've been living here for 60 years
I know not only the people,
but also the dogs and cats
The person I'm looking for
is about 60 years old
He should be a wealthy man,
a good fighter
and...
No idea, right?
You're bluffing
Wake up
Who is the banker? I'm making a bet
Yuanxin
We're civil servants
We ought to present good ideals
Gambling isn't allowed.
Let's have a drink
Okay, He is the boss
Bullshit
What are you doing here?
Go...
I'm just looking outside,
can't I?
Damn you...
Get lost
Don't look down on him
Come in. What do you want?
He...
Please
I'm sorry
I'm expecting someone
Suit yourself
Okay
What do you want?
I want this, this and this
Mr. He
It's you!
Waiter
Bring me nothing but a bottle of wine
It's a good idea
It's easier for a civil servant
...to look for someone
There are more chances to find him
It's been a year
We've been making a thorough search
for all the families
There's still no clue
Master could be wrong
What about you?
Do you know
where the other 3 seniors are?
I don't know
If they know
master's schoolmate is here,
it's possible they would have come
Very likely
Because of this,
master wanted us to find him first
and ask him to donate the treasure
so that the source of disaster
can be wiped out
You shouldn't be that mean and selfish
The students of Five Venoms House
dare not reveal their backgrounds
Let's go
Yes
Senior
Qidong, you are good
If I hadn't heard the news...
I'd have assumed that you've already
...taken the treasure
So the news confirmed...
he's living in this town
Who?
You'd never have imagined this. It's...
Sir, still not going home?
I've not finished my work
So I have to try harder
What takes you so long to open the door?
Respected Sirs
I'm just a poor scholar
There's no money in my house
Please leave me alone
Uncle, stop pretending
No one will expect you would work
as a book-keeper in a government office
You must be the Snake
Usually you never used a sword
Okay. You're the Thousand Hands
You're no longer the member of the House
Hand in the treasure
We want only the treasure
...but not your life
You can't fool me
Did you ever let the victims stay alive?
I know I'll surely be dead
But at least you don't want to suffer
Shit!
I just bet on the wrong side
The dices always give me a bad time
You overdo it
I'll tear down his house
I'll find what I want
Why are you laughing?
It's because you're full of bullshit
We're in a big county
There is law and order
You couldn't mess around like this
Thanks to you the whole thing is ruined!
What a joke!
For all these years
you haven't found a thing
It all has to depend on me
What are you up to?
I'm the eldest senior.
You're the second one
Even if I did something wrong,
it's none of your business
You aren't the only one
to find the treasure
Don't forget there's also 3rd brother
Gao Jin? The Scorpion?
Yuan is getting worse and worse
We've an emergency
He should have been here to report
Why are you staring at your superior?
Do you know the rules?
Sir, it's no good
Yuan and all his family are dead
Hurry up
They all got killed
We're going to investigate this
Where's Yuanxin He?
He's probably in the pub
Get him back now
Yes
No. Don't go back to the office
Go directly to Yuan's house
Yes
We're good fighters for nothing
We dare not show our skills,
hiding and shirking away like morons
We're students of Five Venoms Clan
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen anyone
practice inner power?
Brother He
There's a serious case
Yuan and his relatives were all killed
Let's go
Yuan, the bookkeeper?
Who's he?
You wait here
I'll be right back
Who is he?
A friend I just met
So the Yuan family was murdered
Yes
He isn't rich
What could be the motive?
Here...
You beggar, you want to die?
Menfa
You're always so enthusiastic
whenever you play the dice
What happened?
Nothing
Nothing at all
Mr. He
I need to talk to you
I'm busy
It's important
Talk to me later
Do you believe I saw...
the one who murdered the Yuan family?
Stop daydreaming
You'd be dead if you saw the murderer
The murderer didn't notice me
Yuan was a poor scholar
Why'd someone be after his entire family?
The murderer not only killed them,
but also turned over his house
as if it's hiding some great treasure
Treasure?
The skull of a male victim was broken
The legs are broken off in the knees
There're 8, 10, 12 broken ribs...
How many ribs were broken exactly?
Sir, all the ribs were broken
It's an extremely serious case
If I can't crack it,
I'll lose my post
as the head of the county
I will do my best
The killer was ruthless...
probably not a local
I've ordered my staff to keep an eye
on the strangers for the last few days
Yuanxin He
You should be a standby at the office
Where did you go?
Sir
I'm making an investigation
Yinxin, what did you find?
A boy's body. Broken bone in the neck
Let's take a look
What are you doing?
Just having a look
Whoever is making noise
will be beaten with a stick
Order from the governor
Whoever is making noise
will be beaten with a stick
Go...
Go
So it's the Yuan murder case
You've got to work on the case
round the clock
This case must be solved within 10 days
With the passing of each day
would be caned 10 times
Ma, there's not any clue at all
Probably it can't be tackled
even in half a year
We're policemen
If we pass the due date...
what can we do?
I'll be punished with the beating as well
What can we do?
Stop it
I've found out something
What is it?
I don't mean to look down on you guys
You're not able to break this case
I have to get some help
Ma, I want to have a day off
A day off at this moment?
I'm not going to have fun
...but to work on the case
I never expected...
uncle to work in a government office
No wonder we couldn't locate him
Who did it?
The skull and ribs were all broken
It's the work of The Thousand Hands
Broken organs and serious bleeding
It's the work of The Snake
The Eldest and second seniors?
Master longed to get rid of them
I must get them for whatever reasons
Don't worry. I must...
Let me go...
Let go of me...
Without a mask?!
Why are you hiding outside?
I need to see Mr. He
What are you practicing?
It hurts much worse than hitting a rock
This is...
Mind your words
Someone said he'd seen the murderer
Who? You?
Not me. It's Menfa
Okay. You may go on
Oh god! What should I say?
You want to tell me in the daytime.
Right?
Tell me who the murderer is
The office didn't offer a reward
I may give you 10 taels of silver
Mr. He...
I'll tell you. No need to scare me
The murderer has grown a big beard
I have seen him in Hong's house
Wentong Hong?
I'm scared I'll be in danger
Don't worry
You may stay in the prison for a few days
Hong? I've met him a few times
Is he the Thousand Hands
...or the Snake?
No one knows now
He's a wealthy businessman here
I can't make a reckless move
We've to wait till he leaves his house
Who's the murderer?
Thousand Hands, Snake or Scorpion?
I don't care
The underlings in the office are no match
I'll take care of Hong
You help me to arrest the murderer
Okay
Wentong Hong?
Brother He, did you get it wrong?
He's a good friend of the governor
He's close to the officers
in the province
This is the difficult part
Let's wait outside
When the murderer is out,
I'll try and detain Hong inside
You guys do yourjob
I know you can't arrest the murderer
I've asked someone to help
Who?
A new friend: A very good boxer
What?
I've made contribution
Can I go with you?
You wait here
It's better to hide somewhere
further away
I got it
Mr. He...
What brings you here?
Something really poisonous
What kind of poison then?
It could be the poison of the centipede,
snake or scorpion
What's the riddle?
I don't understand
I don't care if or not you understand
The truth will be revealed soon
Here he is
Buddy, he's the criminal
What did I do?
You murdered 11 people of the Yuan family
I'm called Tao Li now
What is your real name?
The Toad style?
Since you know me
you've to show me your skills
What kind of blade do you want?
Pretending doesn't work
You're the Thousand Hands,
our eldest senior
Thanks. Please go to the office with me
No, thanks
The eldest and fifth seniors appear
I wonder the rest of the 3...
Stop
We got it
We got the murderer
The lord will hold a court session
Mr. Hong, do you want to take a seat?
It's nothing interesting to watch
It is, but if the murderer...
makes a statement of his accomplice
lt'll be interesting
Yuanxin He
Yes, sir
What can I do for you?
Kneel down
You lawless villain,
confess now
I did nothing wrong.
I've nothing to confess
Bring Menfa
Bring Menfa
The night the murder case happened
did you see this man?
It's him
Get the punishment tools ready
Hurry, get the tong sticks
Yes
It's a wrong accusation
Shanhui Tan,
you'll confess sooner or later
You've no need to suffer
Why should I confess?
I just have to bear the torture this time
Adjourn
Sir
How dare you, Yuanxin He?
Third brother
Fifth brother is coming
If it's not because of him
the eldest wouldn't be arrested
You want to shift the blame on him
Get rid of him
or I won't have a good sleep
Fifth brother practices the Toad style
It's not easy to get rid of him
We'll do it quietly
You arrange the trap
It seems that
uncle didn't get the treasure
It could be merely a rumor
We spent years of effort for nothing
What's the problem?
In this small town,
we're like kings
Master
What?
Mr. Wang is here
That quick?
Bring him in
Yes
Please
It's a pleasure to have you here,
Mr. Wang
Please sit
Please
The murderer in Yuan's case was arrested
I know
Here's a money order
for 5000 tales silver
This is a very big case
I can't make a decision
Don't worry. You'll lose your post
I would if I couldn't catch the murderer
You may find someone to be a scapegoat
Don't worry. This man is...
a well-known boxer
We're not looking for people
at random to do it
It's like you're doing my work
You're only looking for money
So don't take it too seriously
It doesn't matter who makes the decision
One more thing
You have to send Yuanxin He
somewhere else
I know
You may have Guang Lin to do it
Sir, what's the matter?
This is Mr. Hong
Yes. Mr. Hong
I need you to do something
Just listen to Mr. Hong's order
Yes
Mr. Hong
Are you letting me go?
I need to talk to Menfa
Only two of us
No problem
This is the easiest way
Right. Take your time
Menfa,
you're the prime witness of the case
You're the only one who saw the murderer
The murderer...
I told them and the murderer was arrested
Something is wrong. How did he look like?
He's a fierce man with a big beard
Not correct
He's a young man, about 20 years old
Strong and beardless
No. He has a big beard
Say it again
How did the murderer look like?
A man with a big beard
No, a young man of 20
And?
Strong and beardless
It's clear this time
Will you speak the same in court?
I understand
I'll say it clearly in court
Bring Yuanxin He
Sir
Sir
I need you to send an important letter
to the province city. You leave now
Sir, it's not my work
Do you refuse my order?
We must detain Tan carefully
I know he has companions outside
Enough. Stop it
The letter is very important
I need you to deliver it quickly
I'll make my way day and night
I'll come back very soon
Leave now
Yes
Bring me duty constable Ma and Lin
Yes
Bring constable Ma and Lin
The murderer still goes free
You guys evaded your responsibility and
arrested innocent people
to take the blame
The statement of Menfa...
Can we count on his statement?
He has revised his statement
He stated the murderer is a man of 20,
strong and beardless. He's now
in the wine house
on the south side of town
Arrest him now
He goes free and you'll be in big trouble
Where is he?
Where is Ma?
He's out to carry out the orders
Brother He, did Ma tell you?
Shit!
The lord asked me
to send a letter suddenly
I just want to tell Ma about it
Which case is Ma working on?
The case of Yuan
We've arrested Shanhui Tan already
It could be...
Menfa revised his statement suddenly,
saying the murderer wasn't Tan
...but a young man of 20
strong and beardless,
always hanging around
at the wine house
in the south side of town
Ma is going there with his guys
What?
Brother Ma
Did the murderer make a statement?
Not yet
But
What?
Tao Li, are you resisting the arrest?
Bullshit, what did I do?
According to Menfa's statement,
you're the suspect of Yuan's case
What rubbish!
I don't have time to mess with you
Yuanxin He
He's the prime suspect of the case
What are you doing?
I guarantee he is innocent
He helped me to arrest Tan
How could you be so stupid?
The court will judge if he's innocent
Your words carry no weight
You don't let me arrest him
That's a serious offence
Yinxin, you better think carefully
If Li has nothing to do with the case
it won't harm him to stand in the court
We won't give him a hard time too
I'm not going...
to see Tan and Men in court
Better make it clear
Then the lord can sentence Tan to jail
We can'tjust believe Menfa's testimony
You must go with us
Yes, it's right
No, Brother He
I didn't experience the dirty tricks
in the office, but I heard a lot
We're friends after all
What do you mean?
Go. I guarantee your safety
I'll see you here again
after the court session
You wait here for me
Okay. I'll go just for your sake
Please
It's a coincidence
The lord asked me...
to deliver an urgent letter
I need to go to the city now
Please take care of Li for me
He is a boxer
He doesn't obey rules of the office
Don't worry. You better go
It's a serious offence if you fail
I helped with the arrest of Tan
He's the prime suspect in Yuan's case
Did you arrest Tan at Yuan's house?
No
But...
Did someone see him
...walking from the Yuan residence?
Menfa
Present here
You must tell us honestly
who was walking out from Yuan's house
It's him
Bastard, what are you talking about?
How dare you yell in the court?
Menfa, speak up
I'll make the final decision
It's him
Bastard, who ordered you to say this?
Arrest him
Li, you should have respected the court
You tried to frame him with this trap
But I am no fool
Sir, calm him down first.
When he's locked up,
I've a good idea to finish him
Stop
Li, I know you're somebody
You won't be blamed for contempt of court
I just want to know
Did Menfa tell you
Tan walked out from Yuan's house?
You speak like a man
Menfa did tell Yuanxin He,
the chief constable of the county office
It's not difficult to prove
He's out of town on business
He'll be back in a few days
Detain all of the suspects
Wait till He's back
Yes
Li, please hold on for a few days
Everything will be fine when He's back
You'll bring trouble upon He
if you refuse
Okay, I will listen to you
Adjourn
Sir, the murderer
is from the House of Five Venoms
He's practicing the Toad Style
People practicing this style
will have a weak point on their body
You may swiftly
make a coat of thousand needles
You'll get the desired statement
What's the coat of thousand needles?
This is it
It's thousands of sharp needles
The body will be flooded by needles
No matter where his weak point is,
the needle may break it. When it's broken
all needles will stab into the body
According to the law, this punishment...
You want to catch the murderer
or obey the law?
Okay. I'll hurry up with the coat
Open it
Inside
Li, you suffered
I've brought over the meal for you
Please enjoy it
Brother Ma, what a friend you are!
He is my good friend
I take you as my good friend too
A civil servant...
is hard to be trusted
Li, I drink first to show my respect
Brother Ma...
Never mind. You've to be cautious
Li, please
Sorry I can't stay here long
It's okay
He's a good man
Serve him properly
Yes. Close the gate
The coat is being produced swiftly
lt'll be ready for
tomorrow's court session
But one thing
He's very good at martial arts
No one could stay close to him
Before his inner power is torn down,
chains and locks are useless
How can we ask him to put this on?
I've an idea
Sir, we may...
Mr. Li, Ma asked me to send you this
Sorry to bother you
Mr. Li, never mind
Please enjoy it
Though it's Ma's order...
we can't do that in the prison
Bring the suspect
Yes
Good idea
The Coat can remove my inner power
Who knows this trick?
What a mean idea!
But my body is without weak point
You wasted your time
It's the Brother Snake
The coat must be your idea
You think my weak point is in the head
But you'll never find out
Scorpion spearhead
The Scorpion is in the room
Who is it?
Now I know where your weak point is
Put the coat on him
Sign and I'll let you go
He has fainted
Cuff and lock him up
with the heaviest chain
Adjourn
Song's Law doesn't allow sentence
without a statement
What should we do?
Sir, don't worry
Everyone saw
Li's rebellious action in court
It's already a death sentence
We couldn't exclude the Yuan's case
Let's accuse him of this
I think we've got to use
this punishment again
His inner power was torn down
He can't take punishment anymore
We've used the Thousand Needles Coat
What else can we use?
Should we use the Red Stomacher?
Yes, we should
Bring him here
Yes
Li, confess and we won't have to suffer
You bastard, I'm not saying anything
You can't keep me here forever
Li, you should understand
the situation better
I understand it very much
He is coming back soon
Bring witness Menfa and Tang
Yes
Menfa, you said you saw the murderer
Is it true?
Yes, yes, yes
The murderer is a man of about 20
strong and beardless
Is he in the court?
Him. It's him
What about him?
I didn't see him before
I've never met a man with beard
Tan can go free now
The evidence is well-established
Li is to be locked up and executed
Ask the murderer to sign
You may go now
You need to be available on hand
Why do you have to be so fierce?
Your weak point was broken
You should have thanked me
I'll save your head to be chopped
and keep your dead body complete
Hang him
Report it tomorrow morning
saying that he committed suicide
Okay
Go in
All fixed?
Fixed
Mr. Hong, how could you know?
What do you think?
Of course
The guys inside are from my group
No, we all belong to your group
Right, we're from the same group
I heard constables like you know...
how to kill without leaving traces
This is called a brain pin
The pin goes straight inside the head
You won't notice from outside
Menfa has gone earlier
He's been taken care of
with a throat barb
...which slit his throat
Can these be compared to yours?
All fixed
Shit
The rack stick in the hall hurt me a lot
I was tortured
The treasure map still hasn't been found
The efforts aren'tjustified
I'm afraid the matter isn't over yet
Those deserved to die were gone
How could it not be over?
The Toad is here
The Scorpion is our guy
No need to mention them
Brother Gecko must be somewhere around
But he hasn't shown up yet
Don't ask me
I've just met Brother Scorpion
a few times
But what the hell
was he doing in the day?
No idea
That Brother Gecko
Maybe he was dead
I always feel that it's not over yet
What does Brother Scorpion do?
Do you know?
Who knows!
Maybe he's the one who squeezed you
Sir. I'm back
You may leave
Sir, did Tan make his statement?
None of your business. Leave
Yes
Yuanxin, you're back
Take 2 days off
Yuanxin, what's wrong?
How's the Yuan case?
Yuanxin, the case was over
Over?
They tell me Tan was set free
Li was taken as the murderer
Is that what you mean by 'over'?
You tell me is it over?
Yuanxin, Li made his statement,
saying that he's from Five Venoms Clan
You should know...
the House is an evil organization
Where are you going?
I'm going to see Li
Li committed suicide
You just met him lately
Why bother to get yourself involved?
Are you old friends?
Though I just recently met him
We must be reasonable
Menfa did see Tan
Menfa revised his statement
Where is Menfa?
He died suddenly
A neat work
Things happened after you left
Lin died suddenly too
They were all murdered
The examiner did thorough work on them
The bodies had no wound or damage
Wounds can be covered up by money
Yuanxin
We all did bad things
You're the only decent one
Menfa's body was just buried
You don't believe it
You may examine it again
No more trouble
A letter from my home...
saying that my mother is very sick
I'll resign soon
I'll ask the lord to promote
...you as the captain
Why bother to ruin your future...
because of this trivial matter
Trivial matter, eh!
Trivial matter
Mr. He
Mr. He...
Mr. He
All of you get out of here
I said, leave me alone
Go, go, go
Mr. He. I've no choice
I didn't touch this 100 taels of silver
Who gave you this?
Guang Lin
How did Li die?
Tissues soaked with water suffocated him
Bullshit! Li was a skillful boxer
This stupid method can't suffocate him
He suffered from punishment in the court
His inner power was crushed
The tool was produced swiftly
I didn't see it before
It's called the Thousand Needle Coat
The Thousand Needle Coat
How did the lord know...
it could crush his inner strength?
I heard it was Hong's idea
When Lin came,
the old constable was here too
We were very drunk that night
Old constable hung himself
He always said that being a civil servant
we don't drive out the rascals and...
protect the people,
but the other way around
Mr. He
I've seen the report
Lin and Men died suddenly
with no wound or damage
It's true that there's no wound
But I know the causes of their death
What are they?
Menfa was killed by a throat barb
Lin was killed by a brain pin
Mr. He
If someone spread my words,
I'll be surely dead
You take this money
and leave here immediately
The farther the better
Thanks, Mr. He
How can a gecko resist
scorpion, snake and centipede
The Five Venoms are out
and the world is settled
Let's talk up there
You're...
How are you, fourth senior?
I'm Yang De,
the last student of the master
Master had a last will before he died
Please talk about this somewhere else
Tell me here
Explain to me
how do you know there were scorpion,
snake, centipede and I?
I was watching fifth senior
catching the Brother Centipede
These few days
I messed around with the petty officers
...gambling and drinking
One day in the hall
I heard him call Hong The Snake
The Toad Power of fifth senior
wasn't crushed by the coat
but the Scorpion spearhead
Then the Scorpion was there
Apart from the Snake,
Scorpion and Centipede
there's Gecko as well
Say, if you weren't the fourth senior,
would you investigate
the matter of fifth senior seriously?
Master's last will was, asking me...
He Yuanxin has been back for a few days
He didn't make trouble
Then he's not the Gecko
You worried about this today
and that tomorrow
I think you're wasting your time
The matter is over
You're still mumbling all the time
The Scorpion and you are like old folks
The Centipede is useless
He's worried he will be in trouble
You want to...
He's our eldest senior after all
So what?
Don't you mean
the Toad isn't our schoolmate?
Who the hell are you?
Maybe I don't know
Maybe I know
But I won't ask this
We only kill people
...and do bad things
When should we stop?
Starting with the Toad
and then the Centipede
Will I be the next one?
Maybe we should find the Gecko first
You don't have to worry about this
You have found him...
or have you already joined him?
Hence you don't need the Centipede
or my help
If you're suspicious like this,
I've nothing to say
I'm a wealthy son of a influential family
I don't really care about
uncle's treasure
It was just the fighting skills
I was after
and entered the House by mistake
I've been controlled by you
I do more and more bad things
I kill more and more people
Until the Brother Toad was dead,
I realized
how ruthless I had become
But I've to kill to keep mouths sealed
I had to kill Menfa and Lin
You ask me when we can stop
I may as well tell you now
You will keep doing bad things
once you start
There's no end:
Forever and ever
This is the training ground of the Gecko
You're the last student of master
I think you've learned my skills
Yes, I did
Master said that I'm not powerful enough
What I acquired...
is no match for any of you
But if I team up with one of you
I can defeat the others
I got it
But we don't know who the Scorpion is
Our enemy is hidden
Did Brother Gecko find any clue?
No
Indeed the Scorpion is still in town
The treasure uncle kept is probably
...in Scorpion's hands
It wasn't in his house. There's probably
a map showing the hiding spot
If Scorpion has the map,
he'll definitely go to the spot
Though Scorpion will leave town
...there are many people here
One less or one more
How can we figure it out?
Right
Leave it alone. Let's practice first
Master said
the eldest senior has fast hands
His nickname is the Thousand Hands
I hope to tackle him with Gecko,
who should attack from above to the below
I will attack his lower part of body
lt'll work this way
Above
Below
Master also said
the Snake is very quick in response
The right is the head
and the left the tail
They'll protect themselves mutually
I'll attack him with Gecko
from both sides
It may break his defense system
The right
The left
Master said third senior...
I've been awaiting you for a few days
I know you'll come
You want to stop me
I know your temper well
I'm here to give you a hand
Ma, you're going to your motherland
You don't have to get involved
Stop saying this if you consider me
as your friend
Ma, I'm not looking down on you
When we start fighting,
it'll be very hard for you to step in
Though I can't step in,
I'll protect you
from the attack of Hong's servants
Is it okay?
Ma, have you changed?
I've resigned from my post
Right, I'm not doing this anymore
I don't expect 3 people coming
Where's Tan?
I'm right here
Tan, you're the Thousand Hands
Wentong Hong,
you're the Snake. Stop pretending
You are the Gecko
You should have known earlier
You're still looking on with arms folded?
Private matter
isn't a civil servant's duty
Who are you? You can't fool me
Why didn't you start?
The Scorpion?
The Scorpion?
When did you know?
When you stroked the spearhead
...in the hall,
and crushed Toad's inner power
Unbelievable!
I just realized it lately
You knew it
You want to use me
to kill the eldest and Snake
Isn't that too obvious?
I see
The treasure is already in your hands?
What do you think?
Thousand Hands, you better make it clear
we still have grounds for discussion
But you too have risked
your life with them
He's our little junior
He has master's order
to clean up the dirt
Finish the two of them
I'll share the treasure evenly with you
Split them
Where's the treasure? Tell me
Move
Come on
The governor also took part in
killing fifth brother
Birds of same feather
Killing the governor is useless
Another corrupt man will replace him
How could we eradicate all of them?
Let's complete master's last will
Use the treasure for charity and...
absolve Five Venoms House of
the bad reputation
There's no more Five Venoms Clan
You're right
Medicine!
Master
For all these years,
I've been trying to save myself
Now I think I can't make it
Yang De
You've been studying for 3 years.
You know
I'm the head of the Five Venoms House
Yes
It is a well known enemy
of the martial arts world
We live here quietly
Over here we may talk about
the House openly
But when you enter the boxer's world
A mere mention of the name of the House
...is likely to put you in great danger
Why?
We didn't do anything wrong
Did we?
You don't understand
Before you came here,
the House had accepted 5 students
at different times
I have 5 seniors?
What are their names?
Where are they?
When our student leaves here,
the first thing to do
is to have a new name
They must keep...
their backgrounds as secret as possible
These 5 students of mine
some of them didn't know each other
You learned part of the...
martial arts as they had learned here
But your skills
aren't sophisticated enough
I won't live any longer
After you learn their skills
I want you to do something for me
First I will let you know in detail
...the skills I've taught them
These are the art of the House
It used to be the training room
You have five seniors
I will start with the eldest one
He's Zhang Yiaotian
He's practicing the Centipede Style
His nickname is "Thousand Hands"
He is well-known for his quick moves
It's like he's having thousands of hands
The second one is called Qi Dong
He's practicing the Snake style
He's nicknamed, "Snake Spirit Dude"
The right is the head of the snake,
on the left the tail
He's famous for his responsive moves,
fast just like a snake
The third one is called Gao Ji
He's practicing the Scorpion style
In this style,
the hand moves like a cutter
the feet like a scorpion's tail
I accepted him later than them
The eldest and the second
didn't know each other
Before them,
I took in your fourth and fifth seniors
The fourth one is called Meng Tianxia
He's older than the second and third one
He's learning the Gecko style
He's trained to have a light body
and strong legs
So he could crawl with ease
He also made use of the rebound force
...to enhance his own power
Your fifth senior Liang Shen
He's practicing the Toad style
Meng and Liang didn't meet
the other seniors as well
The Toad Work at its full strength
can resist the attack of
swords and spears
It can break hard objects too
You came here for a very short time
I made a mistake
to teach you all these skills
As such,
you're not good at any one of them
If you were to fight against
any of your seniors
You're no match for them
I don't have time
left to teach you further
You've got to combine your own skills
...with any work of the House
Then you may take on any of them
Our Five Venoms House
has done many bad things
I don't know
if your seniors behave themselves
...in the boxer's world outside
It's my decision to abort
the Five Venoms House
Now the responsibility is yours
Master, I...
You're to finish them for me
You'll leave here tomorrow
...to locate the 5 of them
and keep an eye on their behavior
You may leave, the one who...
behaves well, alone
and take on the one who doesn't
Master
It's a big, big world outside of people
They've changed their name already
Besides,
unless it reaches a very critical moment,
we won't reveal our skills
Master
You must do it for me
I promise you I'll
I know it's a difficult task
If they discover your background,
you'll be in great danger
Master
My safety isn't important
Where should I go?
There's one more disciple of our House
He happens to be my junior classmate
But he had retired from the boxer's world
He still possesses
some precious treasures
They're the ill-gotten gains of the House
He leads a quiet life in a small town
At present
I just know the name of the town
but not exactly his name or identity
You find him and ask him...
to donate the treasure for charity
My intuition tells me
the treasure is the source of disasters
I think the 5 senior schoolmates of yours
...are trying to look for it
How skillful is he as a boxer?
He's no match for your seniors
Mr. He
Mr. He
Yuanxin, you're a policeman
You better behave yourself
You shouldn't eat irresponsibly
lt'll be greatly appreciated
...if you give me face
I've always owed you many a favour
Yuanxin, don't ruin your reputation
because of petty gains
Please spare me goodness
next time when Mr. Ma isn't around
Ma is a disciplined man
I can't take advantage because of him
No kidding, Mr. He
What is it?
The habitual gambler lost money to me
Screw you
Master
Who were the two men?
Well, they're Mr. He
...and Mr. Ma
They're the officers of the court
Mr. He is very kind
and willing to help
If I want to find someone
I'm the right person to ask
I've been living here for 60 years
I know not only the people,
but also the dogs and cats
The person I'm looking for
is about 60 years old
He should be a wealthy man,
a good fighter
and...
No idea, right?
You're bluffing
Wake up
Who is the banker? I'm making a bet
Yuanxin
We're civil servants
We ought to present good ideals
Gambling isn't allowed.
Let's have a drink
Okay, He is the boss
Bullshit
What are you doing here?
Go...
I'm just looking outside,
can't I?
Damn you...
Get lost
Don't look down on him
Come in. What do you want?
He...
Please
I'm sorry
I'm expecting someone
Suit yourself
Okay
What do you want?
I want this, this and this
Mr. He
It's you!
Waiter
Bring me nothing but a bottle of wine
It's a good idea
It's easier for a civil servant
...to look for someone
There are more chances to find him
It's been a year
We've been making a thorough search
for all the families
There's still no clue
Master could be wrong
What about you?
Do you know
where the other 3 seniors are?
I don't know
If they know
master's schoolmate is here,
it's possible they would have come
Very likely
Because of this,
master wanted us to find him first
and ask him to donate the treasure
so that the source of disaster
can be wiped out
You shouldn't be that mean and selfish
The students of Five Venoms House
dare not reveal their backgrounds
Let's go
Yes
Senior
Qidong, you are good
If I hadn't heard the news...
I'd have assumed that you've already
...taken the treasure
So the news confirmed...
he's living in this town
Who?
You'd never have imagined this. It's...
Sir, still not going home?
I've not finished my work
So I have to try harder
What takes you so long to open the door?
Respected Sirs
I'm just a poor scholar
There's no money in my house
Please leave me alone
Uncle, stop pretending
No one will expect you would work
as a book-keeper in a government office
You must be the Snake
Usually you never used a sword
Okay. You're the Thousand Hands
You're no longer the member of the House
Hand in the treasure
We want only the treasure
...but not your life
You can't fool me
Did you ever let the victims stay alive?
I know I'll surely be dead
But at least you don't want to suffer
Shit!
I just bet on the wrong side
The dices always give me a bad time
You overdo it
I'll tear down his house
I'll find what I want
Why are you laughing?
It's because you're full of bullshit
We're in a big county
There is law and order
You couldn't mess around like this
Thanks to you the whole thing is ruined!
What a joke!
For all these years
you haven't found a thing
It all has to depend on me
What are you up to?
I'm the eldest senior.
You're the second one
Even if I did something wrong,
it's none of your business
You aren't the only one
to find the treasure
Don't forget there's also 3rd brother
Gao Jin? The Scorpion?
Yuan is getting worse and worse
We've an emergency
He should have been here to report
Why are you staring at your superior?
Do you know the rules?
Sir, it's no good
Yuan and all his family are dead
Hurry up
They all got killed
We're going to investigate this
Where's Yuanxin He?
He's probably in the pub
Get him back now
Yes
No. Don't go back to the office
Go directly to Yuan's house
Yes
We're good fighters for nothing
We dare not show our skills,
hiding and shirking away like morons
We're students of Five Venoms Clan
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen anyone
practice inner power?
Brother He
There's a serious case
Yuan and his relatives were all killed
Let's go
Yuan, the bookkeeper?
Who's he?
You wait here
I'll be right back
Who is he?
A friend I just met
So the Yuan family was murdered
Yes
He isn't rich
What could be the motive?
Here...
You beggar, you want to die?
Menfa
You're always so enthusiastic
whenever you play the dice
What happened?
Nothing
Nothing at all
Mr. He
I need to talk to you
I'm busy
It's important
Talk to me later
Do you believe I saw...
the one who murdered the Yuan family?
Stop daydreaming
You'd be dead if you saw the murderer
The murderer didn't notice me
Yuan was a poor scholar
Why'd someone be after his entire family?
The murderer not only killed them,
but also turned over his house
as if it's hiding some great treasure
Treasure?
The skull of a male victim was broken
The legs are broken off in the knees
There're 8, 10, 12 broken ribs...
How many ribs were broken exactly?
Sir, all the ribs were broken
It's an extremely serious case
If I can't crack it,
I'll lose my post
as the head of the county
I will do my best
The killer was ruthless...
probably not a local
I've ordered my staff to keep an eye
on the strangers for the last few days
Yuanxin He
You should be a standby at the office
Where did you go?
Sir
I'm making an investigation
Yinxin, what did you find?
A boy's body. Broken bone in the neck
Let's take a look
What are you doing?
Just having a look
Whoever is making noise
will be beaten with a stick
Order from the governor
Whoever is making noise
will be beaten with a stick
Go...
Go
So it's the Yuan murder case
You've got to work on the case
round the clock
This case must be solved within 10 days
With the passing of each day
would be caned 10 times
Ma, there's not any clue at all
Probably it can't be tackled
even in half a year
We're policemen
If we pass the due date...
what can we do?
I'll be punished with the beating as well
What can we do?
Stop it
I've found out something
What is it?
I don't mean to look down on you guys
You're not able to break this case
I have to get some help
Ma, I want to have a day off
A day off at this moment?
I'm not going to have fun
...but to work on the case
I never expected...
uncle to work in a government office
No wonder we couldn't locate him
Who did it?
The skull and ribs were all broken
It's the work of The Thousand Hands
Broken organs and serious bleeding
It's the work of The Snake
The Eldest and second seniors?
Master longed to get rid of them
I must get them for whatever reasons
Don't worry. I must...
Let me go...
Let go of me...
Without a mask?!
Why are you hiding outside?
I need to see Mr. He
What are you practicing?
It hurts much worse than hitting a rock
This is...
Mind your words
Someone said he'd seen the murderer
Who? You?
Not me. It's Menfa
Okay. You may go on
Oh god! What should I say?
You want to tell me in the daytime.
Right?
Tell me who the murderer is
The office didn't offer a reward
I may give you 10 taels of silver
Mr. He...
I'll tell you. No need to scare me
The murderer has grown a big beard
I have seen him in Hong's house
Wentong Hong?
I'm scared I'll be in danger
Don't worry
You may stay in the prison for a few days
Hong? I've met him a few times
Is he the Thousand Hands
...or the Snake?
No one knows now
He's a wealthy businessman here
I can't make a reckless move
We've to wait till he leaves his house
Who's the murderer?
Thousand Hands, Snake or Scorpion?
I don't care
The underlings in the office are no match
I'll take care of Hong
You help me to arrest the murderer
Okay
Wentong Hong?
Brother He, did you get it wrong?
He's a good friend of the governor
He's close to the officers
in the province
This is the difficult part
Let's wait outside
When the murderer is out,
I'll try and detain Hong inside
You guys do yourjob
I know you can't arrest the murderer
I've asked someone to help
Who?
A new friend: A very good boxer
What?
I've made contribution
Can I go with you?
You wait here
It's better to hide somewhere
further away
I got it
Mr. He...
What brings you here?
Something really poisonous
What kind of poison then?
It could be the poison of the centipede,
snake or scorpion
What's the riddle?
I don't understand
I don't care if or not you understand
The truth will be revealed soon
Here he is
Buddy, he's the criminal
What did I do?
You murdered 11 people of the Yuan family
I'm called Tao Li now
What is your real name?
The Toad style?
Since you know me
you've to show me your skills
What kind of blade do you want?
Pretending doesn't work
You're the Thousand Hands,
our eldest senior
Thanks. Please go to the office with me
No, thanks
The eldest and fifth seniors appear
I wonder the rest of the 3...
Stop
We got it
We got the murderer
The lord will hold a court session
Mr. Hong, do you want to take a seat?
It's nothing interesting to watch
It is, but if the murderer...
makes a statement of his accomplice
lt'll be interesting
Yuanxin He
Yes, sir
What can I do for you?
Kneel down
You lawless villain,
confess now
I did nothing wrong.
I've nothing to confess
Bring Menfa
Bring Menfa
The night the murder case happened
did you see this man?
It's him
Get the punishment tools ready
Hurry, get the tong sticks
Yes
It's a wrong accusation
Shanhui Tan,
you'll confess sooner or later
You've no need to suffer
Why should I confess?
I just have to bear the torture this time
Adjourn
Sir
How dare you, Yuanxin He?
Third brother
Fifth brother is coming
If it's not because of him
the eldest wouldn't be arrested
You want to shift the blame on him
Get rid of him
or I won't have a good sleep
Fifth brother practices the Toad style
It's not easy to get rid of him
We'll do it quietly
You arrange the trap
It seems that
uncle didn't get the treasure
It could be merely a rumor
We spent years of effort for nothing
What's the problem?
In this small town,
we're like kings
Master
What?
Mr. Wang is here
That quick?
Bring him in
Yes
Please
It's a pleasure to have you here,
Mr. Wang
Please sit
Please
The murderer in Yuan's case was arrested
I know
Here's a money order
for 5000 tales silver
This is a very big case
I can't make a decision
Don't worry. You'll lose your post
I would if I couldn't catch the murderer
You may find someone to be a scapegoat
Don't worry. This man is...
a well-known boxer
We're not looking for people
at random to do it
It's like you're doing my work
You're only looking for money
So don't take it too seriously
It doesn't matter who makes the decision
One more thing
You have to send Yuanxin He
somewhere else
I know
You may have Guang Lin to do it
Sir, what's the matter?
This is Mr. Hong
Yes. Mr. Hong
I need you to do something
Just listen to Mr. Hong's order
Yes
Mr. Hong
Are you letting me go?
I need to talk to Menfa
Only two of us
No problem
This is the easiest way
Right. Take your time
Menfa,
you're the prime witness of the case
You're the only one who saw the murderer
The murderer...
I told them and the murderer was arrested
Something is wrong. How did he look like?
He's a fierce man with a big beard
Not correct
He's a young man, about 20 years old
Strong and beardless
No. He has a big beard
Say it again
How did the murderer look like?
A man with a big beard
No, a young man of 20
And?
Strong and beardless
It's clear this time
Will you speak the same in court?
I understand
I'll say it clearly in court
Bring Yuanxin He
Sir
Sir
I need you to send an important letter
to the province city. You leave now
Sir, it's not my work
Do you refuse my order?
We must detain Tan carefully
I know he has companions outside
Enough. Stop it
The letter is very important
I need you to deliver it quickly
I'll make my way day and night
I'll come back very soon
Leave now
Yes
Bring me duty constable Ma and Lin
Yes
Bring constable Ma and Lin
The murderer still goes free
You guys evaded your responsibility and
arrested innocent people
to take the blame
The statement of Menfa...
Can we count on his statement?
He has revised his statement
He stated the murderer is a man of 20,
strong and beardless. He's now
in the wine house
on the south side of town
Arrest him now
He goes free and you'll be in big trouble
Where is he?
Where is Ma?
He's out to carry out the orders
Brother He, did Ma tell you?
Shit!
The lord asked me
to send a letter suddenly
I just want to tell Ma about it
Which case is Ma working on?
The case of Yuan
We've arrested Shanhui Tan already
It could be...
Menfa revised his statement suddenly,
saying the murderer wasn't Tan
...but a young man of 20
strong and beardless,
always hanging around
at the wine house
in the south side of town
Ma is going there with his guys
What?
Brother Ma
Did the murderer make a statement?
Not yet
But
What?
Tao Li, are you resisting the arrest?
Bullshit, what did I do?
According to Menfa's statement,
you're the suspect of Yuan's case
What rubbish!
I don't have time to mess with you
Yuanxin He
He's the prime suspect of the case
What are you doing?
I guarantee he is innocent
He helped me to arrest Tan
How could you be so stupid?
The court will judge if he's innocent
Your words carry no weight
You don't let me arrest him
That's a serious offence
Yinxin, you better think carefully
If Li has nothing to do with the case
it won't harm him to stand in the court
We won't give him a hard time too
I'm not going...
to see Tan and Men in court
Better make it clear
Then the lord can sentence Tan to jail
We can'tjust believe Menfa's testimony
You must go with us
Yes, it's right
No, Brother He
I didn't experience the dirty tricks
in the office, but I heard a lot
We're friends after all
What do you mean?
Go. I guarantee your safety
I'll see you here again
after the court session
You wait here for me
Okay. I'll go just for your sake
Please
It's a coincidence
The lord asked me...
to deliver an urgent letter
I need to go to the city now
Please take care of Li for me
He is a boxer
He doesn't obey rules of the office
Don't worry. You better go
It's a serious offence if you fail
I helped with the arrest of Tan
He's the prime suspect in Yuan's case
Did you arrest Tan at Yuan's house?
No
But...
Did someone see him
...walking from the Yuan residence?
Menfa
Present here
You must tell us honestly
who was walking out from Yuan's house
It's him
Bastard, what are you talking about?
How dare you yell in the court?
Menfa, speak up
I'll make the final decision
It's him
Bastard, who ordered you to say this?
Arrest him
Li, you should have respected the court
You tried to frame him with this trap
But I am no fool
Sir, calm him down first.
When he's locked up,
I've a good idea to finish him
Stop
Li, I know you're somebody
You won't be blamed for contempt of court
I just want to know
Did Menfa tell you
Tan walked out from Yuan's house?
You speak like a man
Menfa did tell Yuanxin He,
the chief constable of the county office
It's not difficult to prove
He's out of town on business
He'll be back in a few days
Detain all of the suspects
Wait till He's back
Yes
Li, please hold on for a few days
Everything will be fine when He's back
You'll bring trouble upon He
if you refuse
Okay, I will listen to you
Adjourn
Sir, the murderer
is from the House of Five Venoms
He's practicing the Toad Style
People practicing this style
will have a weak point on their body
You may swiftly
make a coat of thousand needles
You'll get the desired statement
What's the coat of thousand needles?
This is it
It's thousands of sharp needles
The body will be flooded by needles
No matter where his weak point is,
the needle may break it. When it's broken
all needles will stab into the body
According to the law, this punishment...
You want to catch the murderer
or obey the law?
Okay. I'll hurry up with the coat
Open it
Inside
Li, you suffered
I've brought over the meal for you
Please enjoy it
Brother Ma, what a friend you are!
He is my good friend
I take you as my good friend too
A civil servant...
is hard to be trusted
Li, I drink first to show my respect
Brother Ma...
Never mind. You've to be cautious
Li, please
Sorry I can't stay here long
It's okay
He's a good man
Serve him properly
Yes. Close the gate
The coat is being produced swiftly
lt'll be ready for
tomorrow's court session
But one thing
He's very good at martial arts
No one could stay close to him
Before his inner power is torn down,
chains and locks are useless
How can we ask him to put this on?
I've an idea
Sir, we may...
Mr. Li, Ma asked me to send you this
Sorry to bother you
Mr. Li, never mind
Please enjoy it
Though it's Ma's order...
we can't do that in the prison
Bring the suspect
Yes
Good idea
The Coat can remove my inner power
Who knows this trick?
What a mean idea!
But my body is without weak point
You wasted your time
It's the Brother Snake
The coat must be your idea
You think my weak point is in the head
But you'll never find out
Scorpion spearhead
The Scorpion is in the room
Who is it?
Now I know where your weak point is
Put the coat on him
Sign and I'll let you go
He has fainted
Cuff and lock him up
with the heaviest chain
Adjourn
Song's Law doesn't allow sentence
without a statement
What should we do?
Sir, don't worry
Everyone saw
Li's rebellious action in court
It's already a death sentence
We couldn't exclude the Yuan's case
Let's accuse him of this
I think we've got to use
this punishment again
His inner power was torn down
He can't take punishment anymore
We've used the Thousand Needles Coat
What else can we use?
Should we use the Red Stomacher?
Yes, we should
Bring him here
Yes
Li, confess and we won't have to suffer
You bastard, I'm not saying anything
You can't keep me here forever
Li, you should understand
the situation better
I understand it very much
He is coming back soon
Bring witness Menfa and Tang
Yes
Menfa, you said you saw the murderer
Is it true?
Yes, yes, yes
The murderer is a man of about 20
strong and beardless
Is he in the court?
Him. It's him
What about him?
I didn't see him before
I've never met a man with beard
Tan can go free now
The evidence is well-established
Li is to be locked up and executed
Ask the murderer to sign
You may go now
You need to be available on hand
Why do you have to be so fierce?
Your weak point was broken
You should have thanked me
I'll save your head to be chopped
and keep your dead body complete
Hang him
Report it tomorrow morning
saying that he committed suicide
Okay
Go in
All fixed?
Fixed
Mr. Hong, how could you know?
What do you think?
Of course
The guys inside are from my group
No, we all belong to your group
Right, we're from the same group
I heard constables like you know...
how to kill without leaving traces
This is called a brain pin
The pin goes straight inside the head
You won't notice from outside
Menfa has gone earlier
He's been taken care of
with a throat barb
...which slit his throat
Can these be compared to yours?
All fixed
Shit
The rack stick in the hall hurt me a lot
I was tortured
The treasure map still hasn't been found
The efforts aren'tjustified
I'm afraid the matter isn't over yet
Those deserved to die were gone
How could it not be over?
The Toad is here
The Scorpion is our guy
No need to mention them
Brother Gecko must be somewhere around
But he hasn't shown up yet
Don't ask me
I've just met Brother Scorpion
a few times
But what the hell
was he doing in the day?
No idea
That Brother Gecko
Maybe he was dead
I always feel that it's not over yet
What does Brother Scorpion do?
Do you know?
Who knows!
Maybe he's the one who squeezed you
Sir. I'm back
You may leave
Sir, did Tan make his statement?
None of your business. Leave
Yes
Yuanxin, you're back
Take 2 days off
Yuanxin, what's wrong?
How's the Yuan case?
Yuanxin, the case was over
Over?
They tell me Tan was set free
Li was taken as the murderer
Is that what you mean by 'over'?
You tell me is it over?
Yuanxin, Li made his statement,
saying that he's from Five Venoms Clan
You should know...
the House is an evil organization
Where are you going?
I'm going to see Li
Li committed suicide
You just met him lately
Why bother to get yourself involved?
Are you old friends?
Though I just recently met him
We must be reasonable
Menfa did see Tan
Menfa revised his statement
Where is Menfa?
He died suddenly
A neat work
Things happened after you left
Lin died suddenly too
They were all murdered
The examiner did thorough work on them
The bodies had no wound or damage
Wounds can be covered up by money
Yuanxin
We all did bad things
You're the only decent one
Menfa's body was just buried
You don't believe it
You may examine it again
No more trouble
A letter from my home...
saying that my mother is very sick
I'll resign soon
I'll ask the lord to promote
...you as the captain
Why bother to ruin your future...
because of this trivial matter
Trivial matter, eh!
Trivial matter
Mr. He
Mr. He...
Mr. He
All of you get out of here
I said, leave me alone
Go, go, go
Mr. He. I've no choice
I didn't touch this 100 taels of silver
Who gave you this?
Guang Lin
How did Li die?
Tissues soaked with water suffocated him
Bullshit! Li was a skillful boxer
This stupid method can't suffocate him
He suffered from punishment in the court
His inner power was crushed
The tool was produced swiftly
I didn't see it before
It's called the Thousand Needle Coat
The Thousand Needle Coat
How did the lord know...
it could crush his inner strength?
I heard it was Hong's idea
When Lin came,
the old constable was here too
We were very drunk that night
Old constable hung himself
He always said that being a civil servant
we don't drive out the rascals and...
protect the people,
but the other way around
Mr. He
I've seen the report
Lin and Men died suddenly
with no wound or damage
It's true that there's no wound
But I know the causes of their death
What are they?
Menfa was killed by a throat barb
Lin was killed by a brain pin
Mr. He
If someone spread my words,
I'll be surely dead
You take this money
and leave here immediately
The farther the better
Thanks, Mr. He
How can a gecko resist
scorpion, snake and centipede
The Five Venoms are out
and the world is settled
Let's talk up there
You're...
How are you, fourth senior?
I'm Yang De,
the last student of the master
Master had a last will before he died
Please talk about this somewhere else
Tell me here
Explain to me
how do you know there were scorpion,
snake, centipede and I?
I was watching fifth senior
catching the Brother Centipede
These few days
I messed around with the petty officers
...gambling and drinking
One day in the hall
I heard him call Hong The Snake
The Toad Power of fifth senior
wasn't crushed by the coat
but the Scorpion spearhead
Then the Scorpion was there
Apart from the Snake,
Scorpion and Centipede
there's Gecko as well
Say, if you weren't the fourth senior,
would you investigate
the matter of fifth senior seriously?
Master's last will was, asking me...
He Yuanxin has been back for a few days
He didn't make trouble
Then he's not the Gecko
You worried about this today
and that tomorrow
I think you're wasting your time
The matter is over
You're still mumbling all the time
The Scorpion and you are like old folks
The Centipede is useless
He's worried he will be in trouble
You want to...
He's our eldest senior after all
So what?
Don't you mean
the Toad isn't our schoolmate?
Who the hell are you?
Maybe I don't know
Maybe I know
But I won't ask this
We only kill people
...and do bad things
When should we stop?
Starting with the Toad
and then the Centipede
Will I be the next one?
Maybe we should find the Gecko first
You don't have to worry about this
You have found him...
or have you already joined him?
Hence you don't need the Centipede
or my help
If you're suspicious like this,
I've nothing to say
I'm a wealthy son of a influential family
I don't really care about
uncle's treasure
It was just the fighting skills
I was after
and entered the House by mistake
I've been controlled by you
I do more and more bad things
I kill more and more people
Until the Brother Toad was dead,
I realized
how ruthless I had become
But I've to kill to keep mouths sealed
I had to kill Menfa and Lin
You ask me when we can stop
I may as well tell you now
You will keep doing bad things
once you start
There's no end:
Forever and ever
This is the training ground of the Gecko
You're the last student of master
I think you've learned my skills
Yes, I did
Master said that I'm not powerful enough
What I acquired...
is no match for any of you
But if I team up with one of you
I can defeat the others
I got it
But we don't know who the Scorpion is
Our enemy is hidden
Did Brother Gecko find any clue?
No
Indeed the Scorpion is still in town
The treasure uncle kept is probably
...in Scorpion's hands
It wasn't in his house. There's probably
a map showing the hiding spot
If Scorpion has the map,
he'll definitely go to the spot
Though Scorpion will leave town
...there are many people here
One less or one more
How can we figure it out?
Right
Leave it alone. Let's practice first
Master said
the eldest senior has fast hands
His nickname is the Thousand Hands
I hope to tackle him with Gecko,
who should attack from above to the below
I will attack his lower part of body
lt'll work this way
Above
Below
Master also said
the Snake is very quick in response
The right is the head
and the left the tail
They'll protect themselves mutually
I'll attack him with Gecko
from both sides
It may break his defense system
The right
The left
Master said third senior...
I've been awaiting you for a few days
I know you'll come
You want to stop me
I know your temper well
I'm here to give you a hand
Ma, you're going to your motherland
You don't have to get involved
Stop saying this if you consider me
as your friend
Ma, I'm not looking down on you
When we start fighting,
it'll be very hard for you to step in
Though I can't step in,
I'll protect you
from the attack of Hong's servants
Is it okay?
Ma, have you changed?
I've resigned from my post
Right, I'm not doing this anymore
I don't expect 3 people coming
Where's Tan?
I'm right here
Tan, you're the Thousand Hands
Wentong Hong,
you're the Snake. Stop pretending
You are the Gecko
You should have known earlier
You're still looking on with arms folded?
Private matter
isn't a civil servant's duty
Who are you? You can't fool me
Why didn't you start?
The Scorpion?
The Scorpion?
When did you know?
When you stroked the spearhead
...in the hall,
and crushed Toad's inner power
Unbelievable!
I just realized it lately
You knew it
You want to use me
to kill the eldest and Snake
Isn't that too obvious?
I see
The treasure is already in your hands?
What do you think?
Thousand Hands, you better make it clear
we still have grounds for discussion
But you too have risked
your life with them
He's our little junior
He has master's order
to clean up the dirt
Finish the two of them
I'll share the treasure evenly with you
Split them
Where's the treasure? Tell me
Move
Come on
The governor also took part in
killing fifth brother
Birds of same feather
Killing the governor is useless
Another corrupt man will replace him
How could we eradicate all of them?
Let's complete master's last will
Use the treasure for charity and...
absolve Five Venoms House of
the bad reputation
There's no more Five Venoms Clan
You're right
