CHINA 859 A.D.
:00:26
After 241 years of prosperity,
:00:27
the Tang Dynasty is in decline.
:00:29
The Emperor is weak and incompetent.
:00:32
His government, crippled by corruption,
:00:34
no longer controls the land.
:00:35
Unrest sweeps the country.
:00:37
Village by village,
:00:38
an underground alliance forms...
:00:40
'The House of Flying Daggers'.
:00:42
Based in Feng Tian County,
near the Imperial Capital,
:00:43
The House Of Flying Daggers
moves in the shadows,
:00:45
Stealing From the rich to give to the poor,
:00:47
they earn the support and
admiration of the people.
:00:48
At the same time,
they are feared and hated
:00:50
by their bitter rivals...
:00:51
the local deputies,
:01:04
Captain Leo, Captain Jin.
:01:06
We're heading out on patrol.
:01:17
We're going to be busy again.
:01:20
The Provincial Office
has given us ten days
:01:22
to catch the new leader
of the 'Flying Daggers'.
:01:24
What?
:01:25
It took us three months to assassinate
:01:29
their old leader.
:01:31
Ten days? Impossible.
:01:35
Have you heard of the new Peony Pavilion?
:01:39
Yes.
:01:41
Does anyone know you there?
:01:43
No, I haven't been there yet.
:01:47
Good, now's your chance.
:01:49
Any information?
:01:52
We suspect one of the showgirls
:01:56
is a member of the 'Flying Daggers'.
:01:58
OK, I'll check it out.
