dead

master

now master don't blame your son

completely Ma was an evil man

besides your son's already apologized

How can I forgive him?He's

unworthy of our name.

Dad, don't be angry.

Go ahead and punish me.

Come here.

Dad. Don't call me your father.

Now get out. Father, no.

Oh, and don't ever come

back. Dad,

I know that what I did was wrong,

but can't you forgive your only son?

Tell me, Father, who'll

look after you when I'm gone?I don't

need the likes of you. No

murderer stays here. Dad, I'm sorry.

I promise. I'll never do it again. It's

too late for that.

Go.

Get out.

All right. Dad,

I'll go.

Master, master, master.

Sir, how could you?Does your own flesh

and blood mean nothing to you?Laufou,

I was an only child of the son of a

general. Don't you

realize that if my son were to

stay, he he'd be in danger?

It's the only chance he has.

That's the reason why I. Send

him away.

Hey.

Oh, man.

Oh, man. What's up?

Why did you have to do it?Attack me.

I meant you no harm. Oh man,

what are you doing out here in the wilds?

Tell me, how come you're alone?Left

years ago.

Ten years ago, I left home to seek my

fortune. Figured I'd make some money so I

could give my family a better life. I

did it for their sake. I didn't

want them to suffer. I never

made anything of myself. And

now I can't face them. Oh man,

don't worry about it. When you're better,

I'll get you home.

Oh man, steady.

I want you to find

my wife and daughter and take a message

to them. Tell them that I...

Amen.

I win. I win. OK,

little boy. Where's the Shen's house?

Oh, it's over there. Huh

Thank you.

Anyone there?

Who do you want?

Does the Shen family live here?Yes.

Why do you?Oh, I'm looking for Mr. Shen's

family.

Hey, Chen, he's looking for you. You know

the Shens?Oh, I guess that he

must have brought a message from your

father.

Are you?I'm Mr. Shen's

daughter, Pei Chin. Oh, Ms.

Shen, my name's Ku, friend of your

father, and he asked me to get in touch

with you.

Won't you please come in?Thanks.

AhAh

We have a guest.

Who is it?A friend of

Father's. Dad asked him to look us up. Do

you hear me?Oh. Uh,

she... Oh, she's not too well. She

can't hear very good. Oh, so

that's why no one answered when I

knocked. Mr. Cool,

please sit down.

Thanks. Thank you. Hey,

now, what news do you have of her father?

Well,

Mishan, I have some bad news for you. Huh

Your father died a month ago.

God is scared.

Ma?

Ma?Why don't you take a rest?

Michelle, why are you hiding the news

from your mother?

There's no point telling her about him.

She's had enough of him.

You see, Pei Chen's father left them both

many years ago, and you're the first

person to bring back word after so long.

He's been gone for such a long time,

and now he's dead.

Mishan, don't be upset. He

was a good man. Even though he

left you, he cared about you.

Pei Chen.

Pei Chen, please don't cry.

Mr. Koo, did he say anything else?

No, nothing.

But I have to repay him a debt. Oh,

you owe him a debt?Yes.

It was so long. You

see, besides my promise to bring you his

last words, I'm

also here to pay my debt. Oh,

how much do you owe him?$300.00. $300.00?

But that's quite a lot of money.

Yes, you're right. And

quite frankly, I don't have that much.

Well, then. I intend to find some work

here. Oh, you'll get a job?

Right. I'm determined to honor

Mr. Shen's trust in me. Ah,

Mr. Koo, did you really borrow that much

from him?Hmm

Never mind. We'll forget it.

In all these years, my father never sent

us anything. You see, now that

he's dead, it doesn't

mean anything.

Machen, I promised your father that I'd

pay it back to you. Oh?

You see, if I don't, it'll be on my mind

for the rest of my life.

So I want you to accept it.

Pei-chen, it looks as if he's determined

to pay it back somehow. Right.

But I'm a complete stranger here. I'm

from the North. I wonder if you two

could help me to get a job.

Mr. Koo, if you really want to get some

work, I can help you. Well, go and see my

father. He'll help you.

Master.

Master, here's my brother, Coban. Umm

It's good to meet you, Coban. I brought

you because I need your help.

What's this I hear from Kang Chun about a

martial arts tournament?That's

right. Mr. Chin wants

to make sure that he wins. But

you're not certain. And so you need

me to help you out.

You're right. But I want you to take care

of the other competitors. Then when we

meet in the final, I win. So

that's it. It's easy.

Boss, so there's no problems. Send out

the invitations. Hmm, very well.

Now remember, when they start arriving,

show them your skill. And make

sure they never get to the tournament.

Yeah.

Oh, good. Very good, brother.

Brilliant. Hey. Again?

Your tea. Oh, have you seen my

brother?Oh, uh, he's just having a rest

right now.

Dad!

Dad,

can you spare a

minute?Papa, what's the matter?Father,

there's something I want to talk about.

Here. Uncle.

Dad, this man needs work. Do you think

you can help him?Well,

it's possible, but who is he?Uncle.

His name's Coo, a family friend. And he

knew my father. Oh. You see, Mr. Coo

doesn't know anyone around here. He needs

a job. Dad, help

him out. You know plenty of people. All

right. I'll take you over to the site

and we'll see if they can use the next

act. Thanks, uncle. Oh, thank you, sir.

Nothing, nothingHere, I told you, the

dad will be able to help. You're a smooth

talker, my girl. Come on, let's get

going. All right. Oh,

listen. You go. I'll make some lunch and

bring it over to you later. Oh. Well,

thank you very much. Hey, aren't you

going to thank her?

Thanks, Pei-chen.

You two must be feeling tired.

Come on in and rest a while.

Hey,

hey, Nougat. Hey, hello,

how are you?Got a new man for

you. Can you use him?Ohh Sure. The four

one. You call him Nougat. Mr. Nougat.

He looks pretty strong. So what can you

do?Ohh Well, I'm no

expert. Sure.

Luger, you got to show him the rope

fest. At least

he's honest. He admits he doesn't know

anything, so I'll give him a chance. He's

strong, so then he gets a job.

Thank you. Well, then, I guess you'd

better stay here and work. I've got to

get back to Mr. Chin. Thanks. Thanks a

lot. Think nothing of it. Thanks

for your help. Thanks a lot. OK.

Let's start. Come on. Go and help him.

Huh All right.

All

right, bring

it over

here. Hello, what's your name, friend?

My name's Ku. And yourself?You're...

My name's Wei. And like you, I'm also new

here. Oh, I see. Is there anything...

It's your accent. Doesn't sound local. My

guess is you're from the north. So?I was

wondering. Maybe you came here for the

tournament. Tournament?Uh, no,

sir. Me, I'm just here to

work.

I don't know a thing about fighting.

Oh, really?Well, is that so?

Yes. Well, I guess I

was wrong. Mr. Koo.

Food's here. Your lunch.

Please excuse me. Certainly.

I'll see you.

Hey. Hey, new girl. How

about some lunch, huhI just wish I could

be so lucky. Go ahead now. Eat up, huh

I'm going. Now, you enjoy it,

huh

Tell me, how's the food?It's great.

They chainmade it all, just for you. So

go ahead and eat up.

Listen. HuhIt's yours. Why don't you keep

it?No. I never spend anything.

You've given me food and lodgings.

Besides, I made a promise.

You never leave any money for yourself.

Well, that doesn't bother me. I'm

determined to pay off my debt. I

know, but you don't have to

pay it. But why?

If you hadn't said, we'd never have known

you owed us money. There's no need to

pay.

Umm But I promised your father.

You know, I admire your

honesty.

Many menhonor only the living

but you also have respect for the dead

and then you work so hard too

you never enjoy yourself

paycha you see I want to pay off the

money as quick as I can

oh and after you've done that then

what are your plans

haven't made-up my mind yet

well thenYou're welcome to stay on here

with us if you would like to.

My home can be yours,

too.

Hey, Jen. Thank you.

But I must be going. Must you go now?

I'm working overtime. I can make more

money if I work at night.

Well, goodbye.

Oh, Mr. Ku,

are you leaving now?Yeah.

Hey, Chen. Oh,

what's wrong?Are you all right?

Of course I am. Hey, come on

now. You're thinking of Mr. Ku, aren'tyou?

What the?How?Why the hell don't you get

out of my way, son?Are you

looking at my trouble?God damn it. We're

talking to you.

Say, take a good look. We'll make a bet.

Bet on what?Bet you want to bet on.

I'll bet you he's queer. How do

you know?You don't believe

it?Hey, you turn around. Let's have a

good look at you, huhCome on. Come

onTurn

around, all

right. Yeah.

ohh

Now beat it. And just you remember, next

time I'll kill ya.

Move!

Thanks.

Tell me.

Why didn't you make use of your skill

just now?I...

Because I don't want to fight. So I'm

right. You are an expert in kung

fu. Why won't you admit it?

You ought to take part in the tournament.

Listen.

I'm not interested

in kung fu or the tournament.

Brother, I'll see you.

Just a small gift for you. What do you

mean?Mr. Hunt,

please accept it. I'm sure that you

understand the reason. Ah,

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come now. No need to be embarrassed. It's

only a small gift, since we lack your

help and need your cooperation during the

tournament. I'm sorry.

You're talking about a contest of skill

and honor, and you dare to ask me to

accept the bribe?Just shut up.

Take it or leave it, but don't triumph

preach.

All right, now show my guest out.

You've got a nerve.

The stupid bastard

I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget.

Goban, come on.

Wait. Sorry, miss.

Sorry?Is that all?Leave

her alone. She's only a kid.

Hey there,

time to eat. What are

you doing?

Ohh Give it

back. You give

it back.

Hold it. What the hell do you think

you're doing?

Hey!

All right, but you'll regret this.

Come on. Yeah, come on.

Bastard

Thank you, Sir, for helping us,

Mr. Coo.

Damn it. Those men attacked me.

What the hell are you talking about?

Brother, they beat me and humiliated

me right out there in front of everyone.

This one man, he caused most of the

trouble, and I intend to pay him back.

Brother, I want you to help me kill him.

You're what?And when did this happen?

Bastard's got a nerve. Who was it?Anyidea?

I think he's coming to take part in the

tournament. I think that his name's Wei.

Well, is that really

so?Mr. Wei's going to find his days

numbered. Kang Chan.

Go out and find him and kill him,

Sir.

Kang Chan. Make sure he suffers before

you finish him. Okay.

Hold it.

Disguise yourself first so no one will

recognize you. Sure. Here,

another bottle of wine, yes?

Quite a coincidence. We're from the same

place. It's a small world. Have

another drink. Right. We'll drink to

our friendship.

Hey, brother. Here, let's drink up, huh

Brother, I've had enough.

What's wrong?Is there

something bothering you?Huh

No, it's nothing.

Come on, you can tell me. Soon as I saw

you. I figured that you were a good

fighter.

And yet you seemed frightened to admit

it. But

you can't fool me. Remember those

drunks?You had them all beat. The

truth is, they were no

match for you. I could tell that.

Brother,

listen. If there's a

personal reason,

Brother, the truth is,

I do know Kung Fu,

but I Then why do you always try to

hide it?Why don't you demonstrate your

Kung Fu?With your skill, you could win

that tournament. No, I

promised my father that I wouldn't.

I'll never fight again. Listen.

This is well worthwhile. You'd represent

your country. He would approve of that.

You know, this contest is very

important. It begins to look as if

someone's determined to win. What's

more, they'll even commit murder just to

get the title. Brother,

you think about it. There's still time to

enter.

Brother, it's getting late. I'd better go

now.

This is real. Thank you, Sir.

Stupid.

Ohh My God, it hurts.

There's best and way. So who the hell is

he, brother?

We've got to get rid of him right away,

otherwise he's liable to ruin our plans.

You want me to go get him?

Leave him alone for now. Why?

It's getting close to the time of the

tournament.

We can't afford to do anything rash right

now, but what we have

to do. Is to keep

Coban here at the house until the time of

the tournament. You mean

hide here?That's right.

What I want you to do is wait until the

contest and then finish him off in the

ring. Is that understood?

Well, it sounds. Coban,

listen. Don't get uptight about it.

If you help my brother to win the title,

then we'll see that you're well rewarded.

How does that sound to you?Maybe we'll

consider a partnership.

Ohh

The ring's finished.

So you're out of a job. Is that worrying

you?No, I'm not worried about a job.

But I do still owe you some money,

remember?Don't you worry.

I'm in no hurry for it. Really, I'm not.

The trouble is, I intend to leave

as soon as possible. What

for?Well, I. Hey,

Chen. There you are.

What's wrong, Awa?Well, my father didn't

come home last night. I waited up all

night long for him. Where could he be?

However, just think now.

When did you last see him?Before he went

to work. I'm going to look for him at

Chin's place. Want me to go with you?

No. I'd better go now.

However,

I

just be careful of those people. Don't

worry.

They don't scare me.

Hey, who do you want?

I'm looking for Uncle. He works here.

What do you mean, Uncle?No one here

called back. But, Sir, Uncle is

my father. Oh, huhShe'll

come to see you. Swan. What the?

Hold it.

Well, now, who are you looking for?

Someone who's called Uncle. Uncle?

HuhFollow me.

Huh

oh

What's wrong?

And she asked me to tell you that Ahua

went over to Chin's house. Hey, Chin's

worried she hasn't come back. She wants

you to find her. All right.

You go on home.

What do you want?Can you tell me if a

girl named Ahua came here?Your what?No

girl has been here. You get out of here.

She said she was coming here. Uh,

could you, uh.. Hey!

Listen here. Don't start making trouble,

or I'll break your net for you.

What did Chin say?Have they seen her?

Well, they...

They didn't say a thing. Well, did you

ask them?

What have they done to her?Speak!

Tell me!

Here! I don't want your money!

Get out of here!

You can take all of it. Go!

But remember, who helped you

to get the damn money?It was

Uncle. He's the one who got you that job.

And who was it that introduced you to

Uncle?It

was Awa. And now her father's in trouble.

Awa's missing. And you do nothing.

Listen, I tried to stop her. Well, why

didn't you go with her then?You're a

coward! A

coward?Sure.

Scared. Of everything. The

reason you work so hard is 'cause you're

afraid of being in debt. You're so

frightened, you didn't ask Chin about

her. But I...

Don't lie to me. Just

go. Hey, Chin.

All right, then. I'll go.

Hold it.

Here's your money. Now take it.

Brother.

Brother, I'm glad I found you. Why,

what's the matter?It's the usual subject.

I want you to take my place in the

tournament. Will you?

What for?You haven't heard about Ahua

then?She's hanged herself.

What?

Uncle and Ahua, they were both murdered

by Chin, and I intend to kill him.

You see, if they kill me,

well then, it'll be up to you.

I...

Brother, are you going there?Yes.

I'm going to settle this no matter what.

Chin must pay. Listen,

brother,

I'm determined to do it. Well,

don't forget he's vicious,

so be careful. Thanks.

It's the Japanese that worry me. The

Japanese. That's right.

Chin doesn't care how he gets that title.

He's hired some Japs to give him some.

Brother, it's important.

It's your country's honor.

Brother,

I can. Please don't ask me.

Hey. Hey, you.

What's going on?

Hey, you. Just what in the hell do you

want?Where's

Shin?

What's that?You say you're looking for me?

That's right.

Well, now, just what can I do for you?

It's about a debt.

What do you mean, a debt?I have no

business with you. You're talking

nonsense. Well, what about Uncle and his

daughter?They're both dead. You've

murdered them. And now it's your turn.

Well, now we'll see about that. I'm

going to finish you.

This contest is open to everyone.

Rules must be observed. And now,

ladies and gentlemen, round one is a

match between fighters Joe and

Sun.

Her father is in trouble.

Oh, well it's missing.

Coward, you're scared of everything.

Round two.

Hand against Chao.

Yeah!

Chin doesn't care how he gets that title.

He's hired some jacks to do his killing

for him. It's

important. It's your country's honor.

Angul and Ahua were both murdered by

Chin, and I intend to kill him,

you see. if they kill me.

And now, in this next round, Jim will

fight Han.

10 next.

Yeah!

Ah

Make it look good. Right. Come

on,

man.

Since Wei has failed to declare himself,

Chin is the winner. We

give you the new all-round champion,

Mr. Chin!

Hold it!

I'm here to replace

Wei.

Now, who the hell are you?

Name's Ku.

Well, first of all, you'll have to fight

me. Right. Anytime. Right.

That means Mr. Ku has won the tournament.

We must hurry and tell Pei Chen. Well

then, Ku has beaten Han Fong.

Chen says he has withdrawn, so we

declare Hulu Chan winner and new

champion. Pei

Chen, Pei Chen, Pei Chen, listen.

What is it, Xiaoming?

Why are you so excited?Come on, tell me.

Brother Ku entered the tournament and he

won. Really?

He didn't leave. Ah

Saw you. Where is he?He's gone, but he

left you a letter.

Pei-chan, by the time you read this

letter, I will have gone far away.

Please forgive me. I hope you'll

understand I had to leave.

The cash I won in the tournament. I'm

leaving with you to repay your father's

loan.

I plan to start a new life and settle

down somewhere. Thank you for everything.

Take care of yourself and I hope we'll

meet again. Goodbye.

You don't get away so easily. You see, we

intend to find out just how good you are.

I'm sorry.

I'd like to oblige you, but I just don't

have the time. Well, you'll have to make

the time. Who put you up to taking part

in the tournament?Nobody

put me up to it. I did it as a

favor for someone. Well, that's going to

cost you because we don't like what you

did. That title is ours.

You even hired thugs to get it for you.

Killers from Japan. You still failed.

Now why don't you give up?

Get out while you've got the chance, or

you'll regret it. Well, we'll soon see

about that. The little bastardYou finish

him out.

Ha!
