Judge Archer Page #2

carries a knife with her.

The character in the opera

is so gentle and loving.

Where is he in real life?

He ripped my dress last night

and left first thing

this morning.

I walked back wearing his coat

but he got very angry and told me

I had to return it immediately.

He treated me like a thief.

What's wrong?

I'll leave you the knife.

Come and watch my

performance tonight. No charge.

This job... is not for me.

You're being decent enough

by coming in person.

Thank you.

Can't you do better?

That's the blunt edge.

I'm a martial artist.

I can choose...

to step in...

or to stay out.

Why did you do that?

Master!

Thank you.

This is my room.

I only reserved one.

Book another.

You deliver justice.

And God will reward you.

Maintaining justice

requires willpower.

When someone overpowers me,

I have to defeat him.

Or I can no longer be

Judge Archer.

This time I fight for myself.

You fight for yourself?

And the last time?

Would you like some soup?

But why?

Why do I do it?

How is your rich man?

Very well.

He should send a car for you.

When he picked me up...

he sent one.

I haven't seen you for days.

Something came up.

Leave it, I'll peel another one.

Mister...

Can you hug me for a while?

It's so cold.

A skilled archer knows

you must keep your heart pure.

If you can cut cleanly,

then you will treat others well.

I don't want to go back.

If you like me...

take me with you.

You can buy me for 30 apples.

Fifteen apples then.

Not one less.

Remember, to deliver justice

is to make enemies.

You must live like

a wanted criminal.

Why there?

It's a habit.

Mmm.

Here's my card.

Wooden block printing.

It costs a lot.

For paper?

It is worth a hundred meals,

but it buys me higher status.

Who's it from?

The rich man?

I paid for it.

Who are you?

Look in the left sleeve.

Your hundred meals.

No matter who you are,

you're my man from now on.

The warlords are all

fighting amongst each other.

Deserters and guns

are everywhere.

Find a man

who has killed before.

Where are you going?

Leave the troupe.

Go pack your stuff.

I'll take you with me.

I'm no longer Judge Archer.

I'm free to leave.

You see the gold bar

on the table?

Now come in, and have a seat.

Stop right there. I'll lose

a finger, but you'll die.

You're too confident.

My skills can solve

any martial arts' conflict.

Knife-throwing

is crucial to archery.

Do you trust my skills?

Judge Archer.

At 34, I became a master.

I have been searching for someone

worthy of my assistance...

for 30 years now.

You've found him.

Commander Yang.

He is in exile now, but I know

he'll return to power soon.

I was asked to take revenge.
