With Miss Cheung taking the lead

We have nothing to worry about

She could sacrifice her ancestral house for the revolution

We should take a leaf from her

Mr Lam, I too want to invest into it

Count us in...

Wait for your turn

Mr Lam, as the manager

You are entitled to some shares

Mr Fong, thank you indeed

But let me make it clear here

Not even one share for me

Industrialisation concerns the prosperity of our country and our people

My personal interest has no place in it

I won't take a cent from it

Mr Lam, I too want to invest in it

Right, Mr Lam

I too want to invest in it, count me in...

Good

Miss Cheung, you brief them on it

Gentlemen, please read the contract first

Thank you for investing in the plant

I will not fail you

I'll make sure that our plant will be a success

The role of you the media is to help us promote it

To let the people know...

What can I do for you? Could you tell me what this...

We'll follow what the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is doing

promote buying national products

Mr Lam... look this way, please...

Thank you

When are we signing for it? If you wish, tomorrow

Very good, we'll get great return on it

Excuse me, is Lau Yat-woon here?

I don't know, he has not been back for several days

It's raining hard

However hard, it can't stop me from coming to see you

Revolution is more than slogan shouting

Operation needs money, it's normal

Right, everything is going well

Except my feelings for you

You know how unbearable it is for me?

Thank you

Unbearable?

It's very unbearable

However good I am to you in my life

It's not as half as good as you are to me

Wing-shing, I can give you anything

Even my life

Wing-shing, I...

Ching-shan, let me say it again

There's only friendship between us

You are still mad at me?

It's getting late you should go back for rest

Alright then, I'll give you time to think it over

I hope you will understand my feelings for you

Well... I've gotta go, go to bed early

Goodnight Goodnight

lp Man

There's no better man than my son

I want to see the world

Foshan Yan Wo Hospital

How come his temperature is so high?

He's having a fever

Burn wounds are prone to infection

And he stabbed himself with syringe

Please save him, he's never had an easy life

Uncle, don't worry

He's just been fed medication

He's strong, he'll be fine

Is there a way to cure his high fever?

Uncle, don't worry, he'll be fine

Tsan Sang Tong Herbal Shop

Let me take it over when the decoction is ready

No, thanks, I won't feel at ease Let me make it myself

Master Chan, here you are

It took us a long time to find it

Thank you, I gotta go

Take care Take care

Dad

lp Man, he has come to

Really?

Hush... let's talk outside

Don't disturb him... let's go outside

I didn't have time to talk with you last time

How come you are back?

I thought you had bought the ship tickets

I didn't feel at ease

Not at ease?

I know, you're worried about me and Zi

You have nothing to worry about

Our relationship has greatly improved

You didn't hear it, he called me dad

Really? That's good

It has been so many years

I finally heard him call me dad

Master Chan, I think you should take Zi as your disciple

No, really, I can't

He has caused others or himself inflictions since he was a kid

It's in his nature

You can't take the violence out of him

You can try to divert it after taking him in as disciple

I will take care of him for life

But I won't teach him Wing Chun

He's violent in nature

When he loses control, he's like a beast

He shows no one respect and he's ruthless

If I teach him Wing Chun

how can I face my mentor in my life after death?

I took your emerald pipe It's to take you as my disciple

I mean to let you go away for some time

Let Zi and I restore our bond and let him figure it out

Then you can come back to be my disciple

If only Zi were like you

Tsan Sang Tong

He's over there

Zi... no...

Mentor

Rascal

Your martial artistry is scourge to humanity

Let me disable you

Mentor

Mentor, please spare Zi

Let me pay for his mistakes

Please take me as your disciple

I swear, I will stay with him and safeguard him for life

I'll steer him back to the right track

Zi... Zi...

Zi... Zi

See? He's still picked kung fu

I don't mind sacrifice

You know, as a martial arts practitioner Like my mentor Yu...

We are having western cuisine

Could you spare me your kung fu pitching

You gave an emerald pipe to Chan Wah-shun

Yes

You want to become his disciple

Yes

Wing Chun only takes one disciple You mean to spend your life on it?

Yes

If there is a girl who loves you very much

You mean to pick her or kung fu?

I want you

I am leaving

The day after tomorrow

I am staying

Marshal

Ching-shan, here you are

I have just been told

lp Man is not leaving

He's staying put, which means he'll cause trouble here

I have chipped in and the businessmen have opened their pocketbooks

We can't afford anything to go wrong at such a time

If he won't go, we can make him disappear

I know you are ruthless

We can't let him slip away this time

Of course

You know how a lion plays with an antelope?

We are not there yet?

We'll soon be there

Wing Chun is not taught to outsiders

Today we'll start with the wooden dummy

Go after her

I don't think so Why not?

I've to learn Wing Chun, to be focused

You can bear to let her go?

Mentor, I am confused

You'll have time to sort it out later

But if she's gone You can't get her back

What about kung fu?

She will take to the sky like a bird

Flying farther and farther away

lp Man, go get her I'll go get the ship ticket

Just go, be quick

lp Man is stubborn

Once he thinks he's right

No one can change him

So don't feel bad about it

I just want to leave this place as soon as possible

Out of sight, out of mind

Wait for me here

Let me confirm the ticket for you

And get a ticket for the States

I want to check out the machinery in person

Could I have a ticket to France please

What? You are going to France too?

How come you are here?

To get a ticket to go with Wing-shing

Forget it

A ticket to France

Wing-shing, here you are Thank you

lp Man, she's leaving tomorrow

Go see her off

Spar with me

Come on over... arms up, come on

Mentor, it's like you are leading my hands

I can't get in or get out

It's called Wing Chun Sticky Hands

When you use it on a stranger

If his hands are hard, you have nothing to worry about

But if his hands feel like rags

Sometimes you can feel his strength and sometimes not

And you can't shake his hands off

Then you'll have to be on the alert

lp Man, you have the physique and a great heart

You are worthy of martial artistry

I believe Zi will turn a new leaf

lp Man, in this world

You are the only one that sees him as a friend

I want to ask you for a favour

Mentor, I am at your service

Just say it, if it's within my capability

I'll spare no efforts for it

Be good to Zi

You can rest assured that I'll be good to him all my life

Goodbye... take care... write home

Wing-shing

It's you

I am on this ship too

I thought you were going to the States

I have changed my mind I want to be with you

Let me

Be careful

Freeze...

Run...

Ip Man, come out and hand yourself in

You are now surrounded

Come out or we'll shoot

Wing-shing, let me go out

You can't go It's alright

Come out... Ip Man, come out

lp Man, come out

They are not here to arrest me They want me dead

Thank heaven you are fine

What happened?

I was shot by the military police at the pier

Yim Chun-loi is dead You are said to be the killer

The military police are looking for you

They've been here They will come again

You leave by the backdoor

I've informed Master Chan and asked him to figure a way out

Your luggage

There's money for you in the suitcase

Man Just go

This boat goes directly to Hong Kong You'll be safe

It's a misunderstanding lt'll be clarified

It's the Hong Kong Government's policy

You're to pay a poll tax of $20 when you reach the high seas

What? 20 dollars?

Pay up...

I really don't have the money I have not eaten since yesterday

Young man, they are gangsters

Hong Kong is a place of highs and lows

Don't look at me, I am not lying

If you have no money

They'll throw you into the water

I have not eaten since yesterday

Then throw him into the water

I am going to a relative in Hong Kong

I'll have money once I get ashore

Cut it out, throw him into the water

Leave them alone

You can't afford to meddle with them

They will throw you into the water Leave them alone

I really don't have money, please spare me

I'll pay for him

He... he has money

Sorry Sorry

Since you are so generous

I won't make it difficult for you

40 dollars for the two of you, pay up

Thank you

Just enough for you alone

Throw him off

Hold it, the 20 dollars is for him

What about for yourself?

Give the wallet back to me

What are you talking about?

Give it back to me

I am not your dad You're asking me for money?

You stole my wallet

What? You stole his money?

I didn't, I really didn't

What a fool! Your wallet is with me

You're asking the thieves for it? Fool!

Beat him up

Rascal, look, I have not got your money

You are framing me I won't let you off

Go for it! Then I can tell if you know Wing Chun

Hey, what are you doing? No fighting here

Either you pay up or you leave the boat

I remember it now

He has money

It's in his pocket, wrapped with oil paper

They must be large notes

It's in this pocket

It's in this pocket

Show us, come on, show us

Sure, but you have to pay more

Enough now?

Come on... now that' s enough

You are accusing me?

Fat Leung, your money back

Rascal

Take it easy...

Come on...

Don't you stare at me

If it hadn't been for him

I would have taken you away

Let's go

Just go

Young man, you are spared the fate of going to America

But you still have to work as coolie in Hong Kong

I spent a hundred dollars getting you out of the water

I saved your life

I am now your creditor

You have to work to repay me, get it?

I've always been able to swim

I meant to swim to Hong Kong

Had it not been for the net I wouldn't have been in this state

I don't care, I have spent the money

If you won't agree to it

I can throw you back into the sea

You swim back here

You mean it?

This is Hong Kong, a dog-eat-dog world

From your look I don't think you have a place to stay

I live by the code of brotherhood

Work for me and You will get board and lodging

Let me tell you You are already very fortunate

If you had not met me

You wouldn't be able to survive for ten days in Hong Kong
