CHINA 859 A.D.
:00:23
After 241 years of prosperity,
:00:24
the Tang Dynasty is in decline.
:00:26
Where have you been?
:00:27
The Emperor is weak and incompetent.
:00:29
His government, crippled by corruption,
:00:31
no longer controls the land.
:00:32
I have a question for you.
:00:33
Unrest sweeps the country.
:00:34
Village by village,
:00:35
What question?
:00:36
an underground alliance forms...
:00:37
Are you for real?
:00:37
'The House of Flying Daggers'.
:00:39
Based in Feng Tian County,
near the Imperial Capital,
:00:41
The House Of Flying Daggers
moves in the shadows,
:00:41
What do you mean?
:00:42
Stealing From the rich to give to the poor,
:00:44
they earn the support and
admiration of the people.
:00:44
Do you feel anything for me?
:00:46
At the same time,
they are feared and hated
:00:47
by their bitter rivals...
:00:48
the local deputies,
:00:52
Don't take this so seriously.
:00:54
I want to know.
:00:57
I'm a free spirit,
:00:59
like the wind, always moving.
:01:01
Captain Leo, Captain Jin.
:01:03
The wind never thinks too much.
:01:03
We're heading out on patrol.
:01:04
I want the wind to stop and think.
:01:07
The wind cannot stop.
:01:10
Not even for me?
:01:14
We're going to be busy again.
:01:17
The Provincial Office
has given us ten days
:01:18
The wind breezes through without a trace.
:01:19
to catch the new leader
of the 'Flying Daggers'.
:01:21
What?
:01:22
It took us three months to assassinate
:01:26
Now you understand
:01:26
their old leader.
:01:28
why I'm called Wind.
:01:28
Ten days? Impossible.
:01:33
Have you heard of the new Peony Pavilion?
:01:36
Yes.
:01:38
Does anyone know you there?
:01:40
No, I haven't been there yet.
:01:44
Good, now's your chance.
:01:46
Any information?
:01:48
Fine, go and be the wind.
:01:49
We suspect one of the showgirls
:01:53
is a member of the 'Flying Daggers'.
:01:53
I don't need you anymore!
:01:55
OK, I'll check it out.
