Original subtitles

Tell me who's Mr. Lee, please. Over

there. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just made it. No, I

was afraid you weren't coming. Of course

I'd come. Who wouldn't, though, for the

great teacher?I'll take that.

It's good to see you. I wasn't sure if

you could get away from work. That's no

problem. I'm not busy. Not right now.

But you should have told me earlier.

Well, I'm really just passing through,

that's all. Is that right?Yeah, I was

fighting in a competition in Japan, and

now I'm on my way back to Bangkok again.

Oh. Here's the car. Tell me about the

contest. Sure, I will. But there'll

be plenty of time later on.

Sure. Thanks.

Really?And so you actually beat the

Japanese on their home ground then?

Terrific. That's quite an accomplishment.

The Japanese have a pretty big reputation

now. You did well to beat them. Yeah. But

it wasn't me, though. It was my team that

won. They won because you taught

them. Because you're a fine teacher and a

damn good tactician.

Oh, come on. Tell me. Give me all the

details. I want to know the whole story.

But why, though?It's obvious. I want to

write up the whole contest for my paper

for tomorrow's edition. Oh, I

see.

Hey, is your name I seen?

That's right.

What do you want?Oh.

Nothing much. We'd just like to have a

talk with you. Get out.

Get out!

Hey!

You all right?I'm all right.

Holsto, I'm gonna get you to a doctor.

Right. Right

Come in.

Uh, so it's you. Yeah. Oh, no, don't.

How are you, then?Oh, not too bad.

But still, I'll have to rest a while. Oh.

Oh, by the way, it was the Tiger Fisk

gang that beat you up. Hmm

They've even got contacts here.

Come in.

Oh, it's a knife. A cable.

Thank you. Uh-huhHmm

What's wrong?Hmm

It's trouble. The Japanese want a

contest. Hmm

Well, now, what are you going to tell

them then?I'll have to accept.

I've no choice. But still.

HuhListen,

I really could do with some help now. Hmm

Help me, by coming to Bangkok.

Me?Yes, I

really need you now.

And then I could accept the Japanese

challenge.

All right.

Ohh Hey.

Hey

Father, you've hurt your foot. Oh, it's

nothing. Small accident.

Now, this is my friend, Mr. Chi. Hello.

Nice to meet you. A great pleasure.

There's a Japanese team in Bangkok?

Arrived two days ago. They're invited by

the local karate clubs. That's right, and

they've challenged your school too. They

want to have a three-match tournament.

Yeah, it's big news. Headlines in all the

papers. Don't trust him. They're up to

something. What's more,

these are all experts. They lost you in

Tokyo, so now they want their revenge.

Guess you're right.

This time we can't afford to lose. Don't

worry. We've no intention of losing this

time. Don't forget we'll have Santo, the

champion, on our side. We'll win.

No doubt about that.

Hmm

Mr. Daum, Mr. Santos here.

Ah

Good to see you.

Sit down.

Now you're here. I'm not worried. We'll

beat him. I know it.

Everything ready?It's all fixed up,

right?

Tell me, what's their champion's name?His

name is Waiter, and he's a well-known

Thai boxer. What?

Waiter hasn't been into practice yet?

Yeah.

Father, he's been so strange as well.

It's just not like him. Oh, what's wrong

then?He won't tell me.

Hmm

His success has gone to his head. He's

getting too arrogant. Uh,

no, no teacher. Look,

you go and find him. Yeah.

Now I'm taking it easy. My foot's giving

me trouble. So Mr. Chi will be taking

over for a while.

So you keep working hard. Right, come on.

Which room is Ms. Shine?Number 22.

Thank you.

All right. Come with me.

All right, Naz.

Well, the head injuries are quite

extensive. And there's some damage to the

optic nerves, quite serious.

What does that mean?Does that mean she's

going to be blind?Uh, no.

We can operate. Right away?

It's bound to cost a lot. Uh,

the sooner the better.

Huy tia. Where have you been?I've been

worried. Didn't you know?Teacher's

back. Huh

Achai, do you think you can help me?Sure

I will. What do you want?Tell me. I need

cash. Uh, cash.

You got any?

No.

Hey, wait!

Tell me, what's it for?For Chapa's

treatment?Mind your own business. Hey,

there must be a way.

Hey, I got it. You ask the teacher.

He doesn't get on with Shophouse Father.

Could be embarrassing. Ah, it's worth

a try. He's a real nice fella. But

still-- At least you can try. Come on,

come on, come on

Hey, all right there. Come and have a

drink, and keep on going. Right, right

Hey, we don't seem to be hearing very

much from our new teacher here. He should

be teaching us something. A new style,

perhaps, ehEhI don't think he can teach

me very much. More likely we'll teach

him, eh

Hey, listen. Don't laugh too

soon, and don't judge by looks. Plenty

have made that mistake and been sorry,

too. I warn you. Hmm

Well, you've the bill of about, sir. So

let's try you. See how you got on my

dress. Oh, dear.

Huh

Hey, look, like this. See?

Wait here.

This is an old friend of Father's. He's

instructing here now. Name's Mr. Chi.

And I'm sure that you must know his name,

Wei Theia. Oh, yes, of course.

Mr. Lee is a well-known boxer, too, and

also a reporter. He'll be working on your

training arrangements from now on.

Hey, Miss, let's have a talk.

That would tell you is a real oddball.

No, he's a nice guy. It's just that

his girlfriend was hurt in an accident,

and she needs an operation, or else she

may go blind. HmmIn that case, he must

be worrying himself sick. I know.

Well, then, why doesn't he talk to your

father?Maybe he could do something. Don't

know. Perhaps he thinks my father

won't help. HmmWhy is that?His

girlfriend's father. He used to be a

well-known boxer. But he and my father

had a big quarrel. Now they aren't

speaking. In that case, he's not too

likely to help. Mm. And something else.

Her father doesn't like Wei Tao.

Although, she and Wei Tao have been good

friends for years. Well, whatever

happens. I just hope he wins his match.

Mm.

Bangkok's beautiful, I must admit. Do you

really think it's as pretty as Hong Kong?

It's a matter of taste, but Bangkok's

more natural.

HuhI know who those swine were. Some of

those Japanese experts. HuhWell, you're

pretty expert yourself. And lucky for me,

you are. It's really too much.

They've got to be taught a lesson now.

Father, take it easy. No point in

getting head up. Hmm

Was Chi hurt?No. The rest?

Practicing.

I'll go see him.

Wait here. What's the matter?

Why not tell me?I'd like to help.

Huh

Sorry, afraid I busted one of...

Teacher?Why do you call me

teacher when you're not interested in

learning?

Teacher. Shut up.

Something you've to learn yet. A boxer

must be humble. Got that?

Father, he has been practicing. He

doesn't seem very serious about it to me.

Uh, don't worry. Wait there. We'll be all

right. Yeah. Father, you go and lie

down. You've been up long enough. Huh

Go on.

Uh, wake up. Hang up.

Finished. He'll be all right. Don't

you worry, Keaton. Uh, that's crap. Come

on. We're there. We're there.

We're there.

Father, have you got the medicine?

Father, what's the matter then?

Well, what's wrong?Say something.

Chapa, it's me.

Ah, wait there.

Wait, Thea.

Chopper, how are you feeling?

I'm all right. Don't worry.

I'm going to see your eyes get fixed up.

But it costs so much. Don't you worry.

But still, all that money, how will you

get it?

I'll get it. All that I care

about is to see you happy.

Wait here. Chopper.

What?Another loan?Yeah.

You've had so many loans. Freda can't

help you this time. But look. Wait.

You beat the Japanese first, then we'll

see.

Hey, wait. You shouldn't go in that

place. Hey,

look!

Whiskey.

Hi.

Hey. Aren't you what they are?

That's right there. Come on, let's go

over. Hi. Hello. Come on

here. Come on.

Come on, let me pay for my drink.

I'm sorry.

Another.

Wait there. Don't drink so much.

Bad for you. Would

you like me to sit with you?The

Japanese champion?Thank you. Thank you.

Well, now, unless you happen to be a

geisha, you don't interest

me. You're not, are you?Huh

What was that?

Well, now, you asked for it. Damn you!

Hold it. Uh, sorry, sorry

I apologize to my friend here. It's all a

mistake. Hmm, musky.

Ah

Come on, I'll pay for the drinks. I'd

like to. I consider it an honor.

You know, I hear you've been

depressed lately. I do understand.

I sympathize. In fact, I'm pleased we met

today. Really, I am.

You know, it's possible that I might be

able to help you. I mean,

when you fight with my boy, if you were

to just bat off. A briber,

forget it! Get lost!

Hey!

Father?What did the doctor

say about me?Tell

me the truth. Did he say that I'll always

be blind?No, of course

not. But he did say that you'll have to

have an operation very soon, though.

Chapa, as you know,

I don't have very much money. It'll

cost a lot. And

I just don't know where I'm gonna get it

from.

Who you are?I'd like to see Mr. Tai Yu.

Ah, Mr. Wataya. Hello there. Matter

of fact, I guessed you'd be here.

Hmm

Please.

Please

Doctor, I don't want my name mentioned.

Understand?I do understand.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Yes?What's that?

You'll do the operation now?

Really?Oh, someone's

already paid the fee. Yes, of

course. I'll come in now.

Chaba! Chaba! Wait

here. Chaba, I've got some great news for

you. I know. I've heard it already. You

have?When?Just

now, the doctor telephoned me. He said

someone's paid the operation fee, and so

I can go into hospital right away now.

The doctor said that the man who paid the

fee had told him that he wanted to remain

anonymous. Well, whoever he is, he must

really be a good man. Huh

Wait, Thea, you seem very quiet.

Don't you think it's also wonderful?

Yeah, sure. This

is because the heavens have decided to

help. Come, we must go and thank Lord

Buddha. Yeah.

Achai. Yeah?Any idea where Weithaya is?

I don't know. God damn it.

He should be here. It's late.

Mr. Dah, how do you rate your chances

tonight?Damn good. Uh, we have a

terrific team here, including the

Japanese champion, Santo, whom you've all

certainly heard of, and, uh.. Something

else?Tell us that. You can't expect us to

reveal our tactics.

But anyway, we'll win tonight. Right.

We're sure. We'll certainly win.

Thank God. Wait there. And where the hell

have you been then?Mr. Nye, do

you think we could have your views on

what's going to happen?Oh, I'm sorry.

Wouldn't like to guess. But perhaps you'd

like to have a word with our new

instructor, Mr. Chee. Oh, thanks.

Well, then, what's your opinion then?You

reckon you're going to win here tonight?

Sorry, I wouldn't like to say. Ah,

well, uh, but still.

One thing I will say-- we've got some

real good boys here, and they've all got

fine records, too. So then, you're

going to see some good boxing. Yeah.

Thanks, man. Thank you very much. Thank

you. Thanks.

One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

OK. OK, right.

One. Yeah.

Five, six, seven,

eight, nine,

ten.

Well. The crowd here tonight is going

crazy. He's one. The local boy,

he's beating the Japanese. And the crowd

loves it. The second match will be

starting soon, any minute now. They're in

the ring now, and they're two real strong

boys. The Japanese is in dark shorts, a

very well-known fighter, Gao Chao. And

there's our local boy, fighting the name

of Nai Min. Well, the band is

starting up. So very soon, the fight will

begin. And there's the managers. Our

local man, Mr. Nai Sin, and he

seems to be having a deep discussion with

his new chief instructor, Mr. Chi.

And there's Mr. Tai Yu. He's the Japanese

team manager. I must say, doesn't look

too happy. Now it's back to the ring

again. Match should be starting soon. In

a couple of minutes.

Come on. Come onCome onGet back in. Come

on. Come on

Come onCome on

Come onCome onCome on

Come on, never mind. There'll be a next

time bastard

The local boy's not good enough. He can't

make it. Doesn't have a chance. So in

that case, we'll soon have the third

match with the Thai national champion Wei

Taea fighting the Japanese championSanto.

Hey, what's gone wrong with you?Ah,

God.

Right. Right

Oh, my God! What's wrong with him?

Oh, the Japanese boy seems to be winning.

Santo's really on top. And he's

certainly giving Weiteo a very hard time.

Santo's fighting very aggressively.

Weiteo seems to be backing off.

Santo's got him on the ropes. Weiteo's

really in trouble! A right! A left!

A left again! Weiteo's reeling!

And there's another right!

He's not even trying.

Go on.

Wait, wait, wait

What's wrong with you, huh

We must all do our best. Try to win,

no matter

what. Wait there. You're going to win. I

know that you'll win!

I'll

beat him! I'll beat him! I'll

beat him!

Well then, making the most fantastic

comeback, Waiter has beaten a Japanese

man. An incredible performance. I can

hardly believe it, even now.

Wait there. Chopper. Wait

there. Chopper.

You did it. Chopper.

Chopper.

Oh, you-- you've been hurt. Huh,

nothing.

Chopin?Waiting for your father?No.

Well, then. For whom, then?For whom, do

you think?For you, naturally. For me?For

naturally, after you've finished a match,

you come and have dinner with us here. So

I expected you.

Uh, you see, but today-- You

can't?No. I must talk

with you. About what?

Chapa, let's leave this place. Huh

Leave town?Yeah. But

why?You see,

oh, never mind. I can tell you later.

No! Wait. Tell me now.

What have you done?

Uh, let's sit down.

Wait there. Tell me quickly.

Chapa, I'm a fool.

I was paid to throw the match. Ohh

In that case, pay them back. It's simple.

I tried to do that. But still, they

wouldn't take it. And now I've beaten

their champion. They're going to be after

me for sure. But how

could you?How could you bring yourself to

do that?Chapa,

I'm sorry. I was wrong. Wait there!

Wait there! You have to stay inside.

I'll go outside.

Wait here. Think I wouldn't find you?

Well, what do you want?I want to teach

you a lesson, you lousy double-crosser.

Right. Right

Right

Isaiah! Isaiah, you stay right there.

I'll cut her throat.

Isaiah!

Isaiah!

Wait there. Wait

there.

Wait there. Wait there. Take her.

Come on, you. Come

on! Wentail! Wentail! Wentail! Wentail!

Oh, nurse, tell me, which is Mr.

Waitayer's room?That one opposite.

UhDoctor. HuhHow's Mr. Waitayer doing

now?All right. At least he's conscious

now. UhCan we see him?

Uh, you can go in for a minute, but don't

stay too long, huhUh-huh

Oitea. Teacher.

Oitea. Now, don't

worry. Teacher.

I'm such a fool. That's all right. I

know the whole story. Oh

Don't worry. We'll get Sha-Pa back, all

right?

Teacher. Teacher. There's trouble.

What's wrong?It's Santa and the

Japanese. They've raided the school.

They also get you.

What?

She

Doctor, you knew him?Of

course. Chapa's operation fee, he

paid it.

Why is it like that, that the best men

always have to go first?

Oh my God.
