Original subtitles

[woman] The seed falls, and with time

it's carried far from the tree that bore it.

Yet the seed longs to return.

For the tree is filled with memories.

- Ma! - Fong, save yourself.

No way! You need my protection.

[grunting]

Memories that are joyful,

and memories that are filled with pain.

Ooh, ow! That hurts.

It could have been a lot worse if I hadn't shielded you.

Please, Dad, no!

I'm coming home, yeah!

[groaning]

Hey, you look great.

[shouting]

[horse whinnying]

[woman] He longs to return,

no matter how great the distance,

or how barren the terrain.

Because the memory is so strong and lasting and clear.

Its images are glimpsed through time's pallid veil,

like an apparition.

Come on, come on!

- Coming unbidden. - Yeah!

A shadow. Wait a minute.

[grunts]

A shadow, a whispering wind,

- calling his name. - [girl] Sai Yuk.

[laughing]

[people cheering]

[hissing, popping]

[man] Our people have been looking forward

to this celebration.

[chuckling]

Yes, good.

It pleases me to see them enjoying themselves.

[sighing]

Sai Yuk, do you know how lucky we both are?

This is the way it should be.

[man] Go away, we don't allow begging here.

- No, no. Go away. - But, sir, it's for the poor.

- Now, go away. - Don't you understand?

I told you, there's no begging here. Now go away.

- Hey! - Can't you just...

He's with me.

- Bless you, my son. - Sorry, I didn't know.

[grunting]

Only a minute ago you threw him out.

- Shall we? - Fine.

Ow, my knees!

What hit me?

Reverend, there's plenty to eat, so go on.

Ah, bless you.

Allow me the great honor of reading your fortune tonight.

I foresee that you will lead an extraordinary life.

- Me? - That's nothing.

He already has an extraordinary wife.

[laughing]

Yes, I'm sure.

You will bring him happiness.

I foresee that you will have one boy child and one girl.

- Isn't that wonderful? - Wait. No more?

I predict a minimum of two girls,

and two boys for you, sir.

Ah, that's great.

Wait, sir. Do you mean that I'll...

Yes, you comprehend.

But, uh...

[sighing]

Wait, Ting Ting!

Reverend, help yourself, I've gotta go.

- Thank you. Wait. - Ting Ting, wait!

[reverend] I'm not finished.

Don't go away.

I'm afraid my godson is always in such a big hurry.

Sir...

...you beware.

Your face is clouded with evil.

You're mistaken.

No, it seems clear to me.

Your palm.

[scoffing] All right.

Go on.

[gasping] Emperor!

Good sir, why are you calling me Emperor?

Because I saw it. The markings on your hand

are those that only one of the royal line would have.

[woman] My son, it is no longer safe for you here.

You will go to Japan to live under the protection

of Mr. Yu, leader of the Red Flower Society.

Your new name will be Chan Ka Lok.

Inside of this sacred box,

are documents which prove your true birthright.

One day, when it is safe,

I hope that you will be able to return to the throne.

[shouting]

Yes, you should be cautious about what you tell people.

I'm telling you what I saw, nothing more.

I am... I am sensing a man who is close to you

will betray you. Yet another person close

will be there to protect you,

perhaps save your life.

[crowd] Whoa, whoa!

Sai Yuk, when do we get to be alone?

I thought we were married. Doesn't seem that way now.

Don't be silly.

I love you.

Oh, then, maybe you can...

...show your feelings.

[whispering]

Wait. You mean, make an ass of myself?

- [Sai Yuk] They'd laugh at me. - [Ting Ting] They might laugh.

But I need to hear it from you once in a while.

Hmm, all right, then.

- Hmm. - If it's a problem...

...well, I'm sorry.

Lay down here with me.

All right, then.

Good, but, um...

Don't make it sound wrong.

Hmm. All right.

[Sai Yuk] I love you.

- Good? - Let's try it again.

- Can you say it? - All right.

- I love you. - Oh.

[gasping]

What? Beat it, right now.

What he said was pretty nice.

I'd like to have such a good boy.

You're crazy.

Hey, how about it?

Sai Yuk, did you hear what he said?

- Knock him out. - But why?

Because of what he said. Let's beat him up right now.

Don't try it.

- I'll do it. - Think so?

Hey, stop it, now. Come on!

[both] Hey, your dad's calling you.

See that? Your father wants you.

Go on.

There.

I'll come back again, you'll see.

Hmm, see you then.

Let's go.

[cheering]

Go!

They're good.

[indistinct chatter, cheers]

[Chan] Watch out!

Reverend!

Help! [shouting]

Someone, please!

[people screaming]

What happened? I'll go see.

[shouting]

[grunting]

[all shouting]

All right. Shall we do it?

[screaming]

[shouting]

[all groaning]

I'm just waiting.

[screaming]

[all shouting]

Hold it!

It could be a trap.

Save your strength.

[man] The meeting of the Red Flower Society

will come to order.

Congratulations, you men and women

have done well.

Now let's hear from some of our members.

Who has a report?

Mr. Chan, sir. Our new fishing rights agreement

will take effect at the start of the month.

[man] The brood mares have given birth

- to three more colts. - Ah.

It seems like it's all good news, right?

The Society is doing tremendously right now.

The value of our property in Shanghai

has increased three times.

[man 2] Sir, all this good news calls for a celebration.

[Chan] I'm afraid not.

Some of our neighbors have been victims

of the recent flooding.

We will loan them some money.

Wow, I could do all that, right?

No, you couldn't. It'd be too much for you.

What? Come on. I'm up to it.

[children giggling]

Mr. Chan, will you honor us by naming our baby?

Yes, of course.

- Thank you, sir. - [baby crying]

He's a handsome boy. Why don't we name him...

...Sun Ti Yung.

I hope that he will give you a lot of pleasure.

[baby crying]

[crowd shouting]

Don't kill her!

She tried to kill you, sir. I had to do it.

Why would Mrs. Leong...

Look. It's someone in a mask.

Who could this be?

Say, that woman was with you.

What happened to Mrs. Leong?

Hey, what are you babbling about?

Why don't we ask him some questions about the woman?

- [man] Oh, yeah. - Sure.

Who's behind it? He's jealous

because his father didn't appoint him to lead us.

Aren't you, Mr. Yu?

And so you've become obsessed with murdering our leader.

- That's a complete lie! - Prove it then.

[crying]

Stop that. How can we expect

to overthrow the Manchus when we fight each other?

We must stand united.

He can forget it.

Well, what happens if we don't come together?

What? What difference would it make?

The only good philosophy would be to stay neutral.

Oh, stay out of trouble, is that what you're saying?

Exactly. You said it. You said it.

For those of you who question my loyalty

to the Red Flower Society,

I will prove myself.

Hey!

So I see you were fighting.

Your father was a loyal subject,

and his son...

...could not be any less honorable.

I promise that I will search out this traitor scum.

And I will kill him!

[child] Father.

What happened with her now?

- My son, go away. - Hold on.

Son, you've seen this woman?

Yes, sir. Dad was talking with her.

Before the meeting started.

Well, there you have it.

You shut your face!

[all gasping]

What are you doing? What's wrong with you?

He's your own son.

- Who are you? - Who am I?

Aw, are you saying that you don't know me?

Well, I'm our leader's favorite relative,

known as Fong Sai Yuk.

Do you know who I am?

Oh, yeah. The boy beater.

- [grunting] - Down!

What are you doing?

Do you know who Mr. Yun's father is?

He's our former leader!

Sir... but the little boy was...

That will be enough. Mr. Dong.

Uh, why are you looking at me like that?

Give Fong Sai Yuk some of your knowledge.

Teach him our commandments.

With pleasure.

Good.

See that he learns well.

[Dong] The commandments of the Red Flower Society.

One: You will not steal another person's property.

Two: You will not covet the property of another.

Three: You will not covet the wife of another man.

Four: You will always be truthful.

Five: Honor our leader in every way.

Hey, are you getting it? I'll start again.

It's more like the Seven Taoist Commands.

Yeah, that's just where he got it from,

and Mr. Yun has adapted it for us.

Huh, I thought so.

[Yun] I see you're a slow learner.

[footsteps approaching]

[Yun] Today, you insulted me,

and I'm not about to forget it.

It's time you learned a more important lesson,

from one who is your superior.

Who? The one who hits boys?

I'd like to see you handle someone that hits back.

How should we settle this?

Maybe your godfather could come to your rescue.

No! The book of commandments

says to settle this a different way.

Fighting.

Are you ready to fight?

Hmm? Uh-uh.

[both grunting]

[grunting]

[Yun growling]

[grunting]

Enough!

[Chan] Fighting is not for settling disputes

within the Society.

We are a family!

You should save it for the Manchus.

I'm sorry. When someone insults the Yun name...

...I will fight.

Be prepared to do it again.

The commandments that you learned.

Did you understand them?

- Uncle, it wasn't me. - That's enough! Kneel.

- Your reason. - The boy. His own child.

No one should hurt a baby like that.

You are sure in your convictions.

It's your actions I'm concerned with right now.

But am I supposed to just ignore it?

Perhaps.

Yes.

When it's necessary.

You think too much like your mother.

Maybe you should go home to her.

So, keep reading. I know he wants you to learn it.

Anyway, this part's the hardest.

Here.

You know what? He didn't have to do that.

Maybe we ought to go and visit with your mother.

What?

Well, why wouldn't we?

I'll tell you all one thing.

One of these days...

...I'll do it, really.

I'll be... the leader.

[man] Hey, come on. Come on!

[man 2] Yeah.

Soup.

Soup always has to be made with only the best vegetables.

Madame, someone's here to see you.

Hmm? Oh!

What's this? A birthday party?

- Tell me, where's Sai Yuk? - Why?

From the Yangtze to the Kowloon Harbor,

I fought them all, and they call me the Duke of Hell!

Duke of Hell?

I'll show you some hell. [blowing raspberry]

Fong Sai Yuk's mother.

Now get the hell out of my sight.

Where's she going?

Hey! Stop her.

There's just one more thing I've got to say.

- Yeah? - Watch this.

Bite me! [exclaiming]

[all shouting]

Well, how'd you like that one?

[laughing] Madame Fong.

That was a real good one.

Oh, my soup! Oh, my.

Is that for Master Fong Sai Yuk?

You bet it is. See you later.

[whimpering]

I miss my master so.

[shouting] Sai Yuk!

My good sir.

I wonder if you might be able to help me.

I'm all out of water.

Ah!

[gulping]

[gasping] Thank you very much.

Thank you.

[man's voice] On the first of the month,

a band of Japanese samurai will travel nearby.

They will have the sacred box

in which your secret is hidden.

- Mr. Lin. - Yes, sir.

- Mr. Wong? - Here, sir.

[Dong] I hope he doesn't want me to go.

- Mr. Dong. - Uh, I don't think...

...I'm ready yet.

Take someone on the mission who is more prepared.

Calm down.

Better to name a good fighter to go on this mission.

That won't be you. Who would be your choice?

[chuckling] I say we take Sai Yuk

because he's always ready.

That's what I think anyway.

- Fong Sai Yuk. - [exclaiming]

- Yes, sir! - Go, Sai Yuk!

The mission is yours. Do you accept it?

I do.

Some of you may not come back.

[all exclaiming]

[all] All of us are prepared to die.

Bring back the sacred box.

- The numbers four and nine. - Four and nine.

[both laughing]

What is so damn funny?

Well, they were laughing.

Because you've got the loser's hand.

- In mah jongg? - Roulette.

- I don't play it. - Ah. Wait, wait.

Wait a minute. Remember now?

Oh, yeah. Number six, I shall not steal.

Besides that. You shall bring my girlfriend something.

I won't forget.

Bye, good luck. Hmm.

[shouting, horses whinnying]

[Ting Ting] Sai Yuk!

Hold on. Let's be certain that you're safe.

Take this. It's good luck.

Yeah, you're right.

We can't just sit here all day.

We're on a mission.

Why are we waiting then? Goodbye.

Stay safe, all right?

Bye-bye.

[cow lowing]

[horse approaching]

Ah. Hello!

[Ting Ting] It's Mama Fong.

Lei Ling! What brings you here today?

Go on. Go on.

- My stable. - Yes, miss.

- So what's the occasion? - I brought soup for Sai Yuk.

- He's on a mission. - Right now?

- Mm-hmm. - But I made some soup for him.

I can't believe you brought his favorite soup all this way.

Mmm. Looks good.

What's the matter?

[Sai Yuk] Quiet. Hear that?

[flute playing]

[man] It's the samurai.

[man 2] That woman's in trouble.

Wait. I've seen that woman before.

Hey, there, miss.

What are you doing? Get away.

- Hello, Sai. - You know me?

- [men gasping] - [man] The sacred box.

[all exclaiming]

[all shouting]

They used nerve blocking to paralyze you.

But I can undo it.

[gasping] Hey!

I'm still paralyzed from the waist down.

Oh.

- I'm sorry. - Go on.

I'm not sure how.

I'll carry you.

Come on.

[gasping]

[groaning]

[men shouting]

[samurai] Get them!

Go!

[gasping]

[whimpering]

[all shouting]

[gasping]

- [exclaiming] - [shouting]

[shouting]

[man] I'm going to paralyze them!

Get them!

[all shouting]

[all] Matsuhiro!

Matsuhiro?

It's your mother.

Ma. The box. Right there.

We need it.

Yes, sir.

[Sai Yuk] Take it!

[all shouting]

- Still here? - Ha, still here.

I'll take that box now.

[all exclaiming]

[all grumbling]

[all grunting]

- All my nerves are blocked. - Can she do anything?

Hmm?

- Oh, no. - No?

I wouldn't know how.

Oh, come on.

[insect buzzing]

Hey, he'll do.

[grunting]

[gasping]

Now, try to get it into a good position.

Look out.

Now blow it at me hard.

[blowing]

I keep missing. You do it.

[Lei Ling] Your technique needs work.

It's too high!

[swallowing]

[gasping]

It's so... [groaning]

I missed, huh?

- [laughing] - Sorry.

Is it bad?

[groaning]

Tastes like you'd expect it to taste.

- Hey, watch. - [buzzing]

It's going to get interesting.

[gasping]

[loud buzzing]

[blowing]

That did it. Let's go.

[gasping]

- What are you looking at? - Me?

- Yeah, you. - Wait, wait.

There's something you can show me.

All right, I'd be happy to. What is it?

Well, how do you unparalyze the legs?

Just hit 'em in the stomach.

Oh.

[sighing]

Take that!

Fong Sai Yuk.

[slurping]

- It's Fong Sai Yuk. - Mmm.

Listen, son, let me do the talking. Me.

But, Mom, you can't.

There he goes, following his mother around again.

[all laughing]

I know.

Always her little dog.

He follows her.

If you have something to say, then say it out loud,

or keep your mouth shut.

Look at you all, sitting here stuffing your faces

while my son is out risking his neck for the Red Flower Society.

If any of you had an ounce of bravery,

instead of sitting here, you'd be out doing something about it.

But all I see are six or seven men

who I must say, haven't shown me a damn thing!

Shut up!

On this mission, why was it only your son

returned unharmed? What of it?

Does your mother fight your battles?

- So! - [grunting]

Simple. He fights better than most of them.

Understand?

You want me? Well, let's do it then.

Only remember who started it.

You don't have to fight this fool for me.

For once, shut your mouth!

- I'm sick of it! - [Chan] Mr. Yun.

I'll take care of it.

- Uh-huh. - [Lei Ling] Mr. Chan.

If I might possibly have a word with you?

- I'm Mrs. Fong. - Yes, you're Sai Yuk's mom.

That's it? The boy's mom?

Mr. Chan, all of Hanmai knows my reputation.

Don't tell me you don't know me.

About all the fights that I've won?

Please tell me you know me.

You must be joking.

Can't be. Son, let's get out of this house.

I'm being toyed with. Good day.

We have a duty to the Red Flower.

Stay here then, I'll go.

Hmm?

[exclaiming]

I think I've changed my mind.

If you happen to be looking for me,

- I'll be here. - [thunder cracking]

[rain falling]

[thunder]

It's pouring. You shouldn't be out.

I have come to visit.

Oh! [grunting]

[groaning]

I've brought some presents.

A few trinkets, and some Japanese sake moto.

Stronger than wine.

- Let me help. - No, wait, no, wait.

I'm not sure I'm up to it.

I haven't seen this before.

Oh, well, guess it's all mine.

But, it's immoral. Listen to what I'm saying.

You... you can't drink that in here.

What will people say?

Please, I'm begging... [gasping]

That's right.

You'd... better help me.

Or I might get drunk. [laughing]

But it's sake moto. We'll both end up drunk!

And you don't want... [groaning]

[laughing]

These fingers are very, very, very, very, very

very, very, very eager.

[giggling]

Don't tell me you're shy.

[slowly] You're afraid it will go too far?

What have I done to deserve this?!

[groaning]

I thought I'd seen the last of her so many years ago!

[thunder cracking]

Wait, wait.

- Where are you going? - War's over.

You mustn't try to stop me.

- Take this. - No.

Anything but that.

You know how much you love my soup.

Here.

I can't, or I'll never go to war.

There isn't anyone around to see us.

Perhaps if we shared it once more?

No. Why do you tempt me

when you know I must go?

- There. - [clattering]

Damn fool.

There's something about sake.

The more you drink, the more you want.

Mmm.

All right, then.

You have to do something for me.

- You... - Just a minute now.

I'm not interested in prostituting myself, so...

I'm sure I'll survive without that.

Listen, I want you to teach me the fatal nerve block.

[groaning] Shh.

[both] Shh.

But that's a secret move.

It won't be imparted now.

Maybe you should hear me out.

Fong Sai Yuk is the one who needs to learn it.

I want you to show it to him.

What for? I mean, why?

Why do you think? So the rest of them who know it

won't be able to take advantage of him so much anymore.

- [snoring] - [grunting]

[rooster crowing]

- [clattering] - [Dong grunting]

Hey.

- Keep quiet about it. - Oh, shut up.

Ever try good manners? Old bat.

- Good morning. - Huh. Lei Ling.

Did you sleep all right?

What are you wearing?

I was practicing.

Hey, I have a question.

If a married woman

um, were to, um...

...or to sleep with someone,

a person to whom she wasn't married,

but the two of them were doing it... doing it.

Well, you know.

You know what they were doing.

You think there's anything wrong?

Mom, what? Something so low.

Ah... there's not even a good word for what she's doing.

I mean, I just think that sleeping around like that

can't be forgiven.

I mean, what kind of woman would carry on like that?

You know very well that it's wrong.

Now what kind of woman could this person be,

sleeping with a man she isn't married to?

What was she thinking? The whole town should...

They should just destroy this little whore

as an example, so it won't happen again.

So, now that we've settled that,

do you want to go to the market today?

Lei Ling? Lei Ling!

[Dong] Hey!

What are you doing? I'm all naked.

You should have kept your clothes on last night.

This is what you did.

[gasping] She's pregnant!

Wait! It's not possible.

- Damn it. - Hey!

Get out of there right now.

Let me show you what I do to guys

who take advantage of me while I'm sleeping,

you lousy little pig. I ought to cut you...

Hey, put that thing away!

Not until I'm finished.

I'll make you pay for this.

[shouting]

Listen, think about it. Even if something happened

it's not possible for you to get that big so soon.

Sure, that's what you say.

It's got to be something else.

There's no way something like that can happen overnight.

I've heard the same story a lot of times before.

You set me up so you could have your way with me.

No, listen, it's got to be something else.

Like what?

I could tell what it is,

- by taking your pulse. - Is it a boy or a girl?

Gas. When you're drunk, you get gas.

Oh.

Ah.

[man] The samurai have brought me the box.

So I want all of you to guard it well.

Yes, sir!

[humming]

[giggling]

Cho Su Li.

Cho Su Li!

Yes, Father?

What are you daydreaming about?

A boy.

[Emperor] Well, that's enough.

We failed in our attempt this time.

Now the leader's ready.

Fong is a problem.

But we can still do it.

Sir, but now we're under suspicion.

- So what? - [grunting]

If we're under suspicion,

I have information that there's a secret about Mr. Chan

in the container that the samurai brought

to the Mandarin. We'll get it.

[Chan] I'm concerned that someone may try to steal

the sacred box.

If that should happen, then...

I'm afraid my chances of ruling will be gone.

Master, the Mandarin's daughter seems to be fond of Sai Yuk.

Why not send him after it?

I don't think so.

It's too dangerous for him.

But, sir, please think about it.

The Mandarin's daughter would know

exactly where her father's secrets are kept.

Don't you agree with that?

You see, sir, I've composed a letter.

[Sai Yuk] Are you here, Godfather?

Sai Yuk, what is it?

My mother made some soup.

I've another assignment for you.

Yes.

Listen, the box was located.

Good, then. That shows that anything can be done.

Precisely. Except it isn't finished.

Right. What's the mission?

Here, take a look.

This is a love letter from me.

Uh, yes.

This is just how you begin your assignment.

Talking to a woman and thereby establishing

some kind of way to win her trust so she'll help us.

Understand?

But wait. No, no, no, no, no!

But what... what if my wife finds out about it?

Now don't you worry about it.

Who's gonna tell her?

I suppose. But should I pretend that I'm in love?

It's up to you.

I just want you to get close to her.

And have sex with her?

No sex.

You get my box. You're going to the Mandarin palace.

That's where you'll meet her.

Is this girl someone that I've seen yet?

Yes.

You will recognize her when you see her face.

I hope she won't want to get married.

- That'd be a disaster. - [Yun] Mr. Chan.

What about... me, sir?

I'll volunteer to go.

Yeah. He could take my place.

But you're not a ladies man.

Listen. He failed on the previous mission.

Now it's my turn to try.

But your father worked against the Mandarin.

They wouldn't let you in without a fight.

Sai Yuk isn't known to them at all.

Yes. And she really likes him.

We'll see. We'll see.

I just might succeed.

- You betting on it? - Certainly.

- Why don't we set a wager? - What is your bet?

If I lose, I'll find a way to destroy my kung fu.

All right, then.

Don't be worried.

[Cho Su Li] "A chance meeting along the riverbank,

and now I have only fate to thank.

I long for a word, a glance, a look.

I remain your servant. Fong Sai Yuk."

Oh, how wonderful!

[giggling]

[gasping] Dad.

A young man wants to court me.

I know that you'll like him.

So who is this young man?

- Is he a scoundrel? - No, he's not.

Well, then, if he wants to court you,

- he'll have to prove himself. - Well, that's perfect.

Mom, shouldn't I tell Ting Ting?

No. There she is.

Hold this.

Wait, I don't want it. You hold it.

All right, listen.

Yeah. What should I do?

You should just kiss her, that's what.

Don't play shy. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Just go right over there and give her one.

- Right here? - There she is.

OK, then.

Let's get to it. Hmm?

- [gasping] - You've come to me.

At long last.

- But we, uh... - Are you scared?

- Ma? - I'll fix that.

Come on, don't be afraid.

You should have kissed him.

Hmm.

She wants you all the more.

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

You don't want to let her get away now.

Better go.

All right. [grunting]

Ooh!

[smacking]

That was easy.

[gasping]

What are you doing? Go after her.

What? You mean...

...you kissed one of the Buddhist nuns?

Hey, it could be the first kiss that she ever got.

- Now, come on. - OK.

She might ask you for more.

- [whimpering] - [nuns murmuring]

I must have scared her away.

Maybe she doesn't want me.

- Oh, stop it. - Stop what?

Sai Yuk, do you want to marry me or not?

Sure I do. But there's one condition.

- Well, what is it? - That box you have.

All right, I can get it somehow.

But you also have to prove yourself,

in a competition you'll win,

and you'll also declare your love.

- Deal. - Bet on it.

The competition will soon start.

The winner will marry Cho Su Li.

The rules are simple, so now listen.

Whichever man retrieves the flowered ball

from the top of the bridal sedan,

I shall proclaim the winner.

And then he will also wed my daughter.

The true competition will now begin.

[playing fanfare]

[crowd exclaiming]

- Ooh. - Oh, yeah!

- What arresting beauty. - Look!

[Cho Su Li] Where is he?

She'll make a fine bride.

Too bad. Too bad she'll be mine.

I'll win.

She'll be my wife, once I'm finished.

Sorry, my friends.

I'm going to win.

Contestants, get ready.

[all grunting]

And start!

[all shouting]

Kick them.

[shouting]

Go!

[screaming]

[grumbling]

[shouting, struggling]

I told you we'd be late carrying this flagpole.

Don't worry, these guys can't keep us out.

[both] What do you want?

The girl.

- The kung fu contest. - It's too late.

Am I?

[grunting]

Mmm.

[laughing]

Ooh!

[laughing]

[shouting]

Hello.

- Huh? - Hey, there.

[groaning]

[screaming]

- Yeah. - [men grunting]

'Bout time you made it.

- I'm sorry. - [grunting]

Have you been waiting?

So long.

Bored yet? [grunting]

Hey. Don't get thrown off.

Well, men, have a nice ride down.

[screaming]

Are you ready?

I was hoping you were going to ask me that.

All right.

[all shouting]

[audience exclaiming]

Good, huh?

Why, just amazing.

Huh?

I know. You want me to jump.

[shouting]

- [all chattering] - Whoo! Let's go.

Thanks.

What? [gasps]

- [Sai Yuk] Hmm? - What's the matter?

Can't you look me in the eye?

[grunting] Ready?

Hey, wait.

- I'm shocked. - Wait a minute.

Come on. Let me explain.

Have you gone crazy?

Didn't you think I'd find out about this?

Well, yes, but there's more to this than...

- I don't want to hear it. - ...seems to be right now.

- I'm not going to listen. - If you listen...

- I'm not! - [grunting]

That might have hurt.

How about this?

[all exclaiming]

- Come on, settle down. - I'm not done.

Be sensible.

I will not.

Why is she bothering us?

- Uh... - I'll tell you why.

I'm his wife.

Don't believe it.

Oh, two can play at that.

All right.

Wait!

[both grunting]

[struggling]

Creep!

There must be a better way.

Let me at 'em.

Mom!

You asked for it.

Will you help me break this up?

- Who should I take? - That one.

- Li, come on. - Ting Ting, come on now.

Please, stop fighting.

He's doing a... He doesn't love her.

- Trust me. - I don't care.

Someone should have mentioned something to me.

Hey, you wouldn't have wanted him to do it.

- Come on now, Li. - Let me go!

I'll make you into a slave.

Let me see you try it.

Come on now, please.

- Please! - Let me go!

Hey, take it easy.

The minute he realizes what kind of woman you are

he'll drop her like an old habit.

- Whoa now! - Why?

Well, it was for Mr. Chan.

All right, if you don't care about her,

- then go slap her. - I will.

Stop.

You want that box?

Huh?

All right, then I'll do it.

Wait, don't do it.

[gasping]

You keep your hands away from Sai Yuk.

He loves me, not you.

Just ask him if you don't believe me,

unless you're afraid to.

Hmm?

[sobbing]

Why won't you look at me?

- But... - So?

I'll jump then.

[gasping] Come back!

[shouting]

[exclaiming]

Stop it! Why won't you let me fall?

I won't. You're my wife.

I'm supposed to be your only wife.

Sai Yuk, save me!

What?!

[gasping]

[Li] So strong, just like you are in bed.

Mmm.

You took her to bed?

All right, let me loose and I'll fall, OK?

What are you doing? She's making it up.

Let me go!

Son, ready to catch an old lady?

[shouting]

Wait! My hands are full!

Someone else catch me. [screaming]

Lei Ling!

[all exclaiming]

Oh, boy.

You better start running.

[all shouting]

- [Lei Ling groaning] - Mmm.

Listen to me. Try to understand.

Sai Yuk didn't want to do it.

Will you forgive us?

Liars.

[Lei Ling] I know it wasn't fair to you.

Please, please forgive him. Please!

Fong, I hope...

...you two will have a long and happy life together

as husband and wife.

Hey!

Lei Ling, it's time for me to go.

You understand, don't you, dear?

All rise, and greet my new son-in-law.

My love.

Hmm. I want more.

All right!

I love you, Cho Su Li!

[sobbing]

The outside world seems still and distant

to the wedded couple.

- Happiness holds them... - [sobbing]

...in its tender embrace,

and finds only sweetness and laughter as companions.

Ah.

As they embark on their new life together...

Whoops. Huh?

...nothing, nothing can...

Lei Ling, I don't want to hear that right now.

Shall I sing a song instead?

I keep remembering...

...Sai Yuk reciting those words to me.

What do you say? Shall we?

What's your hurry?

I'll keep my end of the bargain as long as you keep yours.

What do you really want?

Me or what's in your old box?

What? You know I want the box.

- Take it then. - [gasping]

[knocking] It's me.

Are you finished?

This way.

[guard] Halt!

Stop them!

You all seem to be in a rush.

Where do you think you're going?

- To eat. - To church.

Is that so?

You used deception on us.

You fooled us to get what you wanted.

Now, I'll take back the box,

that my daughter says you stole from her.

Is that what she said? Now how can that be?

- Why don't you ask her again? - Enough of your fooling.

- Charge them! - [all grunting]

Hey, don't come near us.

Or I'll kill the Mandarin.

[gasping]

Where did that thing come from? Whoa!

It's done now. You will give me the box.

Light it.

- Hey, Ma. - Maybe he's bluffing.

- What's that? - Is he wrong?

[Lei Ling] Then we better start running.

OK, let's go.

- Mom? Where is she? - Couldn't leave without you.

[Li] Stop.

Dad, if he dies, then I die.

You mean you'll take your own life?

I... owe it to him.

- He's my husband. - You slept with her?

Save it for some other time, we're about to be shot.

Well, you decide.

- You can't! - So, you will stop it now.

[grumbling]

[sighing]

Go away.

And do not return.

I'll lead. Now.

Come on, hurry.

Thank you.

[sobbing]

[whinnying]

All right. Ting Ting, you take the box.

[shouting to horse]

Mom, I want you to protect the box.

I will. You know you can count on me, son.

After the woman.

[whinnying]

Ting Ting. Don't get yourself caught.

I know.

Look out, Sai Yuk!

[whinnying]

Go, Sai Yuk. Go!

[panting]

[indistinct chatter]

- Ah. - I knew it.

- There he is. - Sure is.

That's right. I return to you with the box.

It took longer than I thought,

but I brought it.

You have succeeded.

[grunting]

What?

- [grunting] - You want it? Come and get it.

[Sai Yuk] Or would you rather see it burn?

Ah. You want me to destroy it,

so no one can learn the truth.

I must have been blind not to see such an ambitious man,

intent on overthrowing our Red Flower Society.

- That's what you're doing. - Watch yourself.

Yun's dangerous.

So, you tricked me.

But I'm onto you.

I don't think you have the box at all.

It's just a model, a substitute, right?!

You're right, it's a model.

But the real box is safe, and it will arrive soon.

Sai Yuk, you mean...

...that you don't have it?

No, do you know why?

Because they tried to steal it from me.

Enough! You said you would bring it.

This means you will have to disable yourself.

- Sai Yuk, you don't belong. - [Yun] You lost the wager.

- [crowd exclaiming] - Let me talk.

Do you have it?

That's impossible.

Are you going to...

Did you bring it?

I'll have it. It's safe.

Though I haven't brought the box here.

Go on, do it.

You force me!

[shouting]

[panting]

- Sai Yuk. - [chuckling]

He's defenseless now.

But if someone should try to hurt him...

...I'll come after you.

[Chan] I'll kill you.

[panting]

[Lei Ling screaming] No!

[sobbing] What did he do to you?

Oh, no!

- Let me at him! - Wait, stop and listen to me.

Will you? Would you listen to me?

All his nerve endings are intact.

We can bring his skill back.

- Do you mean it? - Oh, yeah!

Sai Yuk.

Sai Yuk.

Ma, make sure he gets it.

Ah, so the box showed up.

Uh, Mr. Chan is really the Emperor?

Emperor?

But that means trouble.

I'll destroy it as soon as possible.

- Hey. - What?

Don't you dare destroy it. This will come in handy.

[woman] Li Dong, open up, it's me.

I came to warn you all. Yun and his men are on the way.

That's it. Faster.

All right, now hurry. Let's get out of here.

- Have Fong read it. - The book on nerve blocking.

- Thank you. - They're here.

Make sure he reads it all. Better get moving now. Go!

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Surround the house.

Company, halt! Come out!

Fong Sai Yuk, your day has come.

He won't be needed.

[all laughing]

You know what? This is your day to die.

I wouldn't be so sure about it.

Go get him!

[all shouting]

[chickens clucking]

Not too bad, eh?

Wait'll you see my nerve blocking.

[grunting]

[clucking]

[screaming]

Here, why don't you take him.

I'm going back.

Can you help him?

- Please. - I'll try.

- Who are you? - We're getting married.

Please, take care of him.

- [groaning] - Where is he?

- Talk! - Go to hell.

Hey, are you all right?

Find him outside, men. Go get him!

[screaming]

Dong. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, oh, my God.

[groaning]

No.

I must... have been rusty.

It's been a while... between fights.

[groaning]

[sobbing]

I should have...

[groaning]

I should have stayed out of it.

But you were so brave.

You saved me.

[sighing]

That would be the first time

I've saved anyone...

...in a while.

[groaning]

Oh, God.

Keep my... memory...

...alive.

Please.

Please.

I promise.

[sobbing]

I won't forget.

[crying]

[Yun] I believe...

...this is what you've been looking for.

It tells me a great deal about you.

The would-be Emperor.

You are powerless without your followers.

We have laid waste to them...

[grunting] ...as I will to you.

Not yet.

Your fight with me is liable to be your final fight.

Well, do you suppose...

...I'd come without my men?

Go ahead.

See what happens to your men.

- [men chattering] - No, I can't.

Go ahead. What are you trying to prove to us?

Once again, the leader is now Yun.

You begin following me.

You have given me no option.

I will not allow men to die.

You have the advantage.

I will not permit anymore suffering.

So now, our Society is at your disposal.

Brethren, once again the Yun family rules.

It was all worthwhile. [laughing]

[man] All hail the Master.

[all] Hail, Master Yun.

Mr. Yun, sir. What about the woman?

- Huh? - There.

[groaning]

[laughing]

Ah, yes.

You always reminded me of a mother hen.

Except that you look after a flock of only one.

Let's see now. I have something for you...

...mother hen! [laughing]

[Yun] Get her! Get her!

You're nothing but a meddling old woman!

[sighing]

[all laughing]

We'll see how many days you survive.

[gasping]

Mom.

"The Art of Nerve Blocking."

Here you are, Sai Yuk.

Have you heard from my mother?

But it's been a month.

That can't be.

Who's there?

I've come about your godfather.

They're holding him prisoner.

- And my mother? - It's bad.

She's barely surviving.

They've hung her in the square.

[grunting] Ma!

Sai Yuk, you must rest.

You can rely on the others to help her now.

No, the others are mostly dead.

Those that have survived...

...are being held prisoner with Mr. Chan.

Our army does not exist anymore.

There is no one left to fight them, Mr. Fong.

- No one but you. - [horse whinnying]

Your son is a coward.

He'll never show!

[grunting]

[choking]

[men chattering]

My mother, where do you have her?

I will destroy anyone

who tries to stop me.

I will fight...

...with the guidance of the heavens.

He can't possibly see us. Kill him!

[screaming]

[men screaming]

You must all beware.

[shouting]

My movements are guided by heaven.

[both groaning]

[screaming]

[shouting]

[shouting]

[groaning]

[grunting]

[shouting]

[men chattering]

[gasping]

[laughing]

Free my mother. It's me that you want.

[Yun] Yes, it is you that I want.

I want to see you die!

But first, I want to watch you suffer.

Let her go then.

You can see that I won't run from you.

That would make things too easy.

- Wouldn't it, now? - All right, then.

[all screaming]

- [groaning] - [Yun laughing]

[sighing]

[Yun shouting]

[shouting]

Oh, no!

[groaning]

[Yun] I can't wait to watch your mother die.

And you with her.

[shouting]

[choking]

- [grunting] - [choking]

[Yun] I think she's slipping.

Oh, no.

[Yun laughing]

Stay where you are!

The Society has a poor leader.

So, better get used to it.

Now! [shouting]

Not another step. Because I'll do it.

Sissy boy.

What's wrong? Can't find a way to save your own mother?

[laughing]

- Come on! - [grunting]

Fong Sai Yuk. Still weak, aren't you?

Show me what's left of your kung fu skills.

Come on. You can get up and show him.

[exclaiming]

[growling]

No! We'll beat him together.

- All right. - I'll kill you both!

- What now? - Let's do it.

[shouting]

- He'll wear himself out. - Yeah.

[shouting]

Come on!

Which one is the fatal nerve?

On the spine!

It's called the Stone Dragon, and it works like this.

[grunting]

That's it. Good.

I guess I remembered.

[shouting]

All right!

[screaming]

- [all groaning] - Mother.

Ah, whoa. That wasn't so bad, was it, huh?

[both] At least you can thank us now.

- Thanks. - What are you doing here?

- What's going on? - He shouldn't be up there.

Oh, he won't be bothering anybody.

Well, thanks to us, right?

Let's go.

- Hmm? - [exclaiming]

[horse whinnying]

[indistinct shouting]

[men] The troops are coming.

It's him.

Huh. It's our side.

[whinnying]

Sai Yuk, why don't you return with us?

I can't. I've got to be going my own way.

Too bad, the Society will miss you.

[Lei Ling] Don't worry, Mr. Chan.

If you need his assistance for anything,

you'll have it.

Thank you so much.

It looks like you'll have your hands full as it is.

- You said it. - Uh-huh.

I want to give you something nice.

But I really want for you to have my gift now.

- Now! - But listen.

Sai Yuk's grandfather gave it to him

- when he was just a boy. - Huh. He told me

the same thing about this very one.

How could the both of us have...

I have so many of these things.

I'd like you to take one.

[gasping]

You're very kind.

How 'bout you?

[Lei Ling] Would you like one?

I got about a million of 'em.

We should try to talk more often.

[both] Sai Yuk!

Oh, my. Uh, we'll see you later.

[both] Sai Yuk, slow down.

[whinnying]

I guess I'll see you later, huh?

[chuckling] Best of luck.

[Ting Ting] What a cheap trinket.

How many other girls did you give them to?

[Li] I can't believe he gave me the same present.

[all arguing]
