CHlNA 859 A.D.
The once-mighty Tang dynasty is in decline.
The emperor is weak and incompetent.
His corrupt government no longer controls the land.
Unrest sweeps the country.
Village by village, an underground alliance forms..
The House of Flying Daggers.
Based near the imperial capital...
...the House of Flying Daggers moves in the shadows.
Stealing from the rich to give to the poor...
...they earn the support of the people.
At the same time, they are feared and hated...
...by their bitter rivals, the local deputies.
Police Headquarters Feng Tian County
Captain Leo, Captain Jin.
We're going around on patrol, as told.
We're going to be busy .
The provincial office has given us 10 days to catch up the Flying Draggers' new leader...
Is that so ?
It took us three months to dispose off the old one. That was lot ...worse.
Now, its Ten days? That is just no way..
Jin ! Do you know the new Peony Pavilion House .. ?
Yes.
Is anyone there familiar with you?
No yaar, I haven't had chance to go .
Well, now you can.
Is that so?
We think one of the girls, a dancer there is a member of the Flying Daggers.
Fine, we will now take a look.
Entertainment House Peony Pavilion
Pull. Pull harder.
Pull harder.
Come on.
That's it....
Coming sir!
-Madam! -Your desire.
Now, what is that I can do for you, sir?
I heard that you have a new girl here.
aaah! ..You had ... sir.
Is she good looking ?
-Yes, She's a beauty. -You bring her to me.
There is one thing you need to know.
What's that?
That, she is blind.
Blind?
Then she must be special.
Now, I'm curious.
How did you become blind ? Was it some kind of accident ?
Well, I was born blind.
Why would a blind girl be working here?
Shouldn't a blind girl work here?
You're right.
-So, Tell me your name? -Mei.
Its Mei?
Every girl here has taken the name of a flower.
Why is your name so ordinary?
I don't want to be in that same category with those ordinary girls.
What do you mean by that ?
Those one, which are displayed here can hardly be called flowers.
Real flowers need to be bloom .
Well said.
If you impress me enough, I'll take you to where the real flowers grow.
Do you have a special thing ?
-I do, Dance . -Get closer.
Don't you know any of the rules?
A rare beauty in the north
She's the finest lady on earth
A glance from her, the whole city falls
A second glance Leaves the whole nation in ruins
There exists no city or nation
That has been more cherished
Than a beauty like this
A rare beauty in the north
She's the finest lady on earth
A glance from her, the whole city falls
A second glance Leaves the whole nation in ruins
There exists no city or nation
That has been more cherished
Than a beauty like this
Please calm down, sir.
-Go away! -Oh no!
Please let me explain. This girl is young and inexperienced.
Please forgive her. Take her away!
-Go away!
Stop it !
Captain.
Hey Hey ! captain of the county.
Leave me Hell with the captain!
Enough ! Arrest him.
Let me go!
Who are you?
How dare you! I'm the captain.
You're a drunkard. And you're dressed indecently .
Arrest these two now.
Get your hands off me. Stop it .
Let me go!
Please spare the girl, captain. Oh,That man , he looked very drunk.
It was not her fault. Really it wasn't.
Please Captain! Understand!
Our business is new. I rely on her talent to bring in guests.
What non-sense ! A showgirl who can catch anything. Go !
Please Captain ! She's a dancer with full of skills.
I am coming with truth. You have seen ..
Do you know the echo game?
I tried it once.
All right.
Play well enough now and I'll let you go.
Thank you, captain.
Hurry up! Go and change .
Fantastic.
Excellent!
Who are you really?
Why do you want to kill me?
Government-running dogs, What ..you all ..dead
I do enjoy fighting you. status-quo
Captain! We found this in her room.
You're one of the Flying Daggers?
Tell me Who's the new leader?
Where can we find the new leader? aahm!
No, answer.
Then ,here is the .... Kill her.
In front of you is a device for torture.
This is for your head ...go
...your shoulder ...
...your back ...
...your legs go here.
I would be true with you. You'll never dance for anybody again .
Do you hear ?
You have one day to think it over.
She reminds me of someone.
Who is that ?
Rumor says that ...
...the leader's blind daughter disappeared after his death.
Quite a blow to the Flying Daggers.
They vowed to take revenge for him ...
...while searching for the girl.
What do you see in the old leader's daughter...
Do you know ... prostitute?
Who is the owner of the Peony Pavilion?
Perhaps the Flying Daggers know ..
...that we were responsible for their old leader's death.
Forget it. I tell you why the authorities .... for a small reward ...
I have got a better idea.
We have evidence ...
Quite .. we follow ... to ..you award.
I should do it?
Uhm ! I trust you .
All right. This girl is a rare beauty.
You know how I like to flirt with girls.
Just..her good looks blind your judgment.
Even if my ..perish still I will cherish.
Who are you?
I undressed you only yesterday.
Forgotten me already?
Why did you do this?
Why do you think?
You're an exquisite flower.
I'll do anything anything to help you.
No, don't.
No need to worry.
I'm not a guest of the Peony Pavilion.
Then, you're not a showgirl .
You're the daughter of the former leader.
What do you mean?
How many blind girls are trained in martial arts...
... and had these daggers ?
I had no choice but to rescue you ...
... and your fine collections of daggers too .
Why did you take such a risk?
I hate the corrupt government and admire the Flying Daggers.
Thank you , sir !
Why did we abandon our horses?
Hoof prints can be easily tracked.
I have two new horses in my ahead.
You've planned very well.
And what would your name be ?
Just call me Wind.
Why , Wind?
I wander around wherever I please
...come and go without a trace.
Carefree wind?
No, I care a lot . But I'm a playful wind.
You are really like to tease.
I wonder what you look like.
No, That's easy .
Here.
No, Please don't.
It isn't the Peony Pavilion. There are no rules .
You'll know what I look like if you touch my face.
Here.
To start with your face is not respectful.
I asked you to start off here. But You want to go there first..
Alright.
You've got the technique of flight.
Your right hand knows the way around the blade.
Your left hand knows using a bow and arrow.
Your heart has a beat both sincere and steady.
I am like a book you read me
and You're also courageous .
well , I have never been shy around a lady.
Quite young, indeed.
You know how to hold your drink.
The soldiers are approaching.
I've lost my dagger pouch.
I'm sorry I was late. I will never be again.
The Flying Daggers are always moving. Which way should we go?
We keep on moving north.
You Just said north?
Don't worry. They will come to find us.
They must have many Flying masters.
Why did they send you here ?
No one sent me. I am here by myself.
As the daughter of old leader ...
...you should be more cautious.
Do you know what they say?
I'll do anything to avenge my father.
Here.
Here are men's clothes. For you to wear.
I won't take advantage of you.
Have you seen enough?
Please hand me my clothes.
You knew I was here?
Master Wind wanders like the wind.
I'd expect you to be anywhere.
You look different in men's clothes.
Do I look bad ?
I will tell all the girls to wear men's clothes...
...the next time I visit the host is .....
Now I know...
...you're not shy around women.
You're not very shy either.
How is that ?
You knew I was watching you ...
... yet you didn't say anything.
You did save my life ...
I can afford for your look.
I thought you were hot as fire.
But actually , you're cool as water.
I don't know you well enough.
I will really care for you.
A Lady’s' man like you, can't be trusted ?
What if I can this time?
Are our men around?
I'm sure today's fighting has Mei fooled .
From now on, I think Our soldiers can go back .
Good. That will save me some arrows.
So , anything else?
Not yet.
Don't let her see through you.
Don't worry. I never fail at seduction.
I have got complete trust.
I warn you, don't fall for her.
Fall , where ?
... into bed?
She could be very cunning like her father was ..
Don't let her fool you.
Don't be absurd , Leo!
I'm in control of the things.
Now, I have got to return.
Hey ! Don't turn a game into something real . Have a care.
As long as our plan works , who cares ?
Shall we rest for a while?
Is it my flowers ?
Do you recall ...
...you said, you'd take me to the real flowers .
Which one is the best?
-How do I look? -Like a flower.
Who is coming ?
-I'm on your side. -What Sir?
-I am a captain of the county. -A captain?
Oh , no. I don't think so. You are the one let her out.
You're wounded. Is it bad?
I'm fine.
Was that one from the Daggers Horn ?
Not likely.
Then who was he ?
I am not sure.
He's gone now.
He doesn't want us to know.
Now, I Know , I can trust you .
You've done enough to me now .
Leave , Please .
Be on your ....
I can't leave you . We've come too far now.
You are wounded. I hope it’s not serious.
We agreed no more fights.
What our soldiers doing now?
They were sent by the General.
They have no way of knowing you.
Was the general?
How did the general get involved in this ?
This is an important case , I had to make a report .
And the general is taking over.
The soldiers didn't have to be hostile. Did they?
The General's orders.
He said we need real blood to draw the Flying Daggers .
Even if the blood is mine?
Look Jin...
...the soldiers' lives and our lives...
... to him are nothing.
You have no idea how it made me feel ...
...as I was killing our soldiers.
I feel worse. I am ... tortured.
You are tortured ?
I do truly regret...
...going on this mission.
Following you all the way, enduring sleepless nights.
My heart grows heavy...
...when I think of lying ahead .
Is there really no other way this could happen?
The General told us ...
... it's the only way to get the Flying Daggers.
Jin, you should know...
...there are more soldiers .
-What is that ? -The general had ordered them to come in .
know.. If they know you ..
You have to stop them.
I can do nothing .
Regarding these soldiers the orders have been given ..
...to find and kill.
If you don't kill them...
...they will kill you.
...good ..thing .
I quit!
Where did you go to?
I have a question .
-What is that? -I need honesty.
What are you saying?
Do you have anything in your heart ..
.. for me ?
Aah! I am ...by.
I want to know.
I'm a free spirit...
...like the wind, I am always going here and there.
not too much thinking .
The wind should rest and think.
The wind can't do that.
Why don't you think?
Now, the wind just breezes through without a trace.
Now you understand...
...why I'm known as Wind.
Aaah ! Then you go and be the wind...
... and just go, go away .
I don't care if you're saying , I have to leave.
We should end this.
You want to go alone?
Well, I'd look ... the wind now.
Where are you going ?
Whichever the way the wind goes.
Back to the Flying Daggers?
Do you want me to go back?
Why would I return after leaving them all ?
You have my gratitude.
-Jin ! -Let's go.
Perhaps the wind should blow on ...by
A playful wind stops .
.. if he wants to ...
Why are you here ?
I have returned ... for you
Its Nia!
Mei, you're here.
Who will think the madam of Peony Pavilion...
...has been the leader of the Flying Daggers!
I was bad that day. And I hope you can forgive me.
Please , you ...also in the part.
Oh, yes! Very much sir!
What do you think of Mei?
I am not sure , what you are asking?
Well, to begin with I mean her personality, of course.
I find her very passionate.
Oh yes ! Go on.
She is blind, but very bright.
There are very few people that can match her.
Not even l have some trouble keeping her.
Do you have some affection for her?
What exactly You are asking...?
A man and a girl traveling all alone...
...what else could I be talking about?
Mei is a rare beauty.
I care much for her .
Then I would be the matchmaker for you to marry her.
Marriage is serious. We must low down.
Is that Mei not good enough for you?
And that’s not it.
Her family is a respectable one.
I'm only a fighter.
Our former leader loved his daughter dearly.
Now that I'm the new leader, it's my duty to find her a good husband.
I haven't found anyone...
...within the Flying Daggers who would be a better choice for her than you.
What do you say?
Yes, I accept your offer.
Our house is much obliged to you. You've done us a great honour.
Please accept my thanks.
I will with much pleasure.
What is this? What's going on?
-How are our soldiers? -They were dead.
Your plan was to capture us all by following Mei , where I was .
You're not blind?
Are you the daughter old leader?
There just happens to be a blind daughter.
She can fight , of course ...
...so I took her place .
If you had known the truth of the matter, really was..
...do you think that you would still come with her?
It was all an act.
Who are you really?
Well, I am Mei.
I'm just one girl out of many in the House of Flying Daggers.
That's enough. You take him out, now.
You wait here.
I want to finish him off myself.
Move.
Stop.
Do you have anything to say?
Yes, you're not the new leader.
You're correct.
I'm not Nia.
She would never allow herself to be seen , so easily.
Tell me What is your name?
Well, that is not important.
Nia sent me to finish this matter.
Good work. Very well done.
I know your reputation though, we’ve never met ...
...but I know you by reputation.
Three years ago...
...we planted you as a mole within the government.
You did much in that role.
But I failed to save our leader ...
...from being assassinated.
Nia knew that you were away on your assignment.
There was nothing you could do.
Its good, she understands.
We need to win this battle...
...against the corrupt government and their troops.
You and Mei were successful in setting up a trap for the general.
Very well done.
When I'll report to Nia you will be rewarded.
It's my duty.
Please say these words to Nia...
...the General's fresh Troops are under move and ..too.
Be very careful.
Nia has a good plan. Don't worry.
-One thing I don't know. -What's that?
-Who was that sent Mei to do this assignment? -Nia did.
Did you ever consider how I feel ?
What do you say?
Three years and I saw Mei
Now I have to stand and watch her flirt with someone else.
This wouldn't be the first occasion...
...Mei's been used to seduce a man.
I've heard about your feelings for her.
Are you still in love with Mei?
We face the Fight. Fight is the future of the Flying Daggers.
The troops are closing in. It is not the time for love.
But, all right.
Now, I will let you see Mei.
You are not different.
I'm always be Mei.
Three years, is now.
Now, we're together alone .
Yes !
You saved me enough, fighting with the Government's men.
Thank you.
There is no need for thanks.
Now, this Mei I would do anything for you.
I know that.
You've risked all you have ...
...you are under great honor and you have impressed me greatly.
You're the only one...
...who understands what I have been doing.
For three years I was alone
You were in my thoughts every moment.
My love for you...
...was all I had to keep me going the whole .....
Do you love him?
You knew your role.
It was only an act between you and him.
There is no future for you two.
Understand?
Nia!
You can't force a woman...
...against her will.
Do not pull this dagger out.
You are going to return.
You will be more convincing...
...with one of our daggers in your back.
You leave right now .
Yes!
I have sacrificed three years for you.
How could you love him after just three days?
Mei, I have a task for you as well.
Jin is of no more use to us .
You have to take him out and kill him.
Leo plays a crucial role for us.
Jin is the danger to our plan.
His death is necessary...
...to guard against future trouble.
You know the rules of our House, Mei!
Yes .
The reason I chose to keep you behind. so that I wanted to save your life...
...then you followed me.
Don't blame me for this.
If your scheme has been successful...
...many of our people would have died.
You wouldn't let me go .
It would be me on my knees...
...waiting to die.
Yes, you're right.
If I'd won...
...I wouldn't have let you go either.
Time to go.
How will you say all this to Nia?
That's my business.
We should be together.
You have the secret in your heart.
I guess , another man is there.
Yes. Someone who saved my life .
Did he help us in the massive camp we had ?
Yes.
Then he saved us.
Are you still in love ?
We can see each other again.
It can't happen.
We are from different worlds.
If we meet again...
...one of us is going to die.
A decisive battle is near.
You and I are just pawns on a chessboard.
Nobody cares if we live or die.
Let's leave . We will go and roam the world together...
...as free as the wind.
We'll wander around ... Where do we please?
Come and go without trace ..
...like a playful wind.
We will be just like a carefree wind.
Just you and me
Let's go together
You are going to go with Jin?
Why ? You answer my question?
You're the love of my life.
You don't have to love me...
...but you can not go with him.
Or it would mean your life.
Tell Mei...
...you've made me to kill you.
I know that you would do this.
You knew and you went with anybody. Why did you do that?
Why did you go?
Why did you go? Why?!
To stay free like the wind.
You being with the Flying Daggers.
You're right about that.
You're the one who loves Mei?
Yes, I truly love Mei...
...and you are only playing a game.
If you love her why did you kill her?
That's due to you just you !
Fault?
I did try to warn you, but you know, you wouldn't listen.
I was betrayed for you.
Now, You must die.
Fine.
You killed Mei, you must also die!
Mei.
Let him go.
If you kill him...
...I'll kill you with this dagger.
No Mei! Don't pull the dagger out!
If you do, your blood will flow and you will flee to die.
No Mei, don't do that!
Mei, I'm closer to him.
He'll hit me first.
You can't save me...
...with your dagger.
Mei!
No Mei! No Mei!
Mei!
No Mei!
You shouldn't have returned.
I returned...
...for you, my love.
A rare beauty in the north
She's the finest lady on earth
A glance from her, the whole city falls
A second glance Leaves the whole nation in ruins
There exists no city or nation
That has been more cherished
Than a beauty like this
