Open up. Who is this?

It's master Wong Kwok. He wants to speak to you.

Well, what's wrong?

You're a liar.

You've accused my father of stealing treasures from the graveyard.

But did I not see him there myself?

My father's no grave robber.

You've been put up to this.

He's a grave robber alright.

And do you know what that makes you?

A thief bastard, you boy.

But why on earth did he dare to insult

our family like that?

I must find out.

Evening, father.

Buon Quark.

I have to go out on business a while. I won't be very long.

Where are you going, father?

Oh, I'm just going over to see Lee for a while.

May I come with you? I'd like to talk with you if I may.

But I told you. I'll be back soon. Come on.

Good evening.

Good evening, master Kwan.

I'll tell Master Lei you're here, Master Kwan.

Please follow me. Please.

Please come inside.

We'll wait out here. Sir.

Master. Master Lei.

What is it?

Master Kwan's in the courtyard. Well, show him in. Alright.

He wanted you to go outside. Oh.

Come.

I do hope I'm not disturbing you, master lady.

No. Not at all.

I'm only too pleased to be of service to master Quan.

That's kind of you.

Please aid me in this matter,

and I shall be grateful for your help.

You would like me to give you

a valuation?

This China Vaz is an ancient family heirloom.

I'd like you to appraise its value for me when you get the time.

I know you're busy. Yeah. Of course.

Good night.

That owl's been screeching all evening.

Does that mean bad luck?

Wow. Master Wong is waiting to see you now.

You too. Sir.

Sir. Sir.

Let's go.

I'm glad you could come out at this late hour.

So who was that?

A grave robber my men caught plundering a grave.

Here, Master Lee, could you please take a look what he had with him?

Oh, yes. Beautiful.

Oh, how much is it worth?

It's very valuable.

Oh, is it really? That's very interesting hit.

Give it to me.

Just a minute.

This was stolen from the temple more than ten years ago.

You can't keep this. You've gotta give it back.

It's sacred.

Very sacred.

I'll do the worrying about that. Give it back to me.

And what then?

Uncle.

What are you doing here so late, my boy?

Father went out earlier, but he hasn't returned home as yet.

I'm worried that something's happened to him.

Well, now, if you're really worried about him,

I'll come look for him.

Thank you, uncle. I'll fetch the men at once.

Right then. You do that. But I really wouldn't worry.

He's probably been delayed.

Yes.

Go and fetch them in then.

Right.

My

That was the final test of your kung fu, my boy.

You've come far. You'll need my help no more.

You're now master yourself.

My dear master, thank you kindly for that honor but I really do not deserve it.

Without your teaching, I am nothing still.

I need to learn much more and you can teach me.

I'm not yet fit to become a master.

I really am not yet ready for that honor.

There's nothing more to teach you, Leilong.

It's your turn now to teach others as I taught you,

to teach them to follow the course of righteousness and to

use the arts for good use.

I understand, master.

Leilung,

Remember to follow the path of the righteous at all times.

Listen to me now. You must not use your power for evil.

It doesn't do any good.

Your best course is to trust yourself and to follow your own judgment.

I shall I shall try, master.

Mhmm. Follow the path of the righteous.

Yes.

Master. Master.

I've been looking for you everywhere. You must come home.

You must come home at once. Come down.

Come down and tell me what has happened.

You see, it's

it's your father.

He's been killed. What?

How has he been killed?

Well, you see, we really don't know. You don't know? Right.

He's just disappeared.

We looked everywhere for him for three days now.

We searched everywhere around the village,

in the forest, everywhere, but there's just no sign of him anywhere.

Alright. Then I will come back with you at once. Yeah.

Take my father's body home.

Who is it?

It's young Master Wan.

What do you want?

I just want to lay my hands on Lei. Where is he?

He's not here.

We haven't found him yet. Oh, yes.

I found my father.

Found his body outside the village in the forest.

But where's the master lay?

You know very well where he is. He's hiding here somewhere.

Listen. I've already told you that, Don't try to lie.

But please, I'm telling you the truth. Telling the truth.

You're lying.

You're lying. I gotta show you.

Search the house.

What do you think you're doing, Wang Quoc?

You're taking the law into your own hands.

Law?

I know that Leia has killed my father,

and I'll get the proof.

Just you wait and see.

Oh, well. There isn't any proof yet.

Just you wait and see later.

I know Lay murdered my father.

Help him get up. Give him that hand.

Come on now. Wake up. Wake up.

Good day, mister Quan.

Now tell me what it is that's going on here.

Well, they think that Master Li has

killed Master Wong.

But Master Li is still missing.

Oh, he's not back yet? No.

It's also worrying. Perhaps he's been murdered too.

Our men are out searching for him now.

But I don't understand.

Master Li didn't have an enemy in the world.

Not one.

Find the men, and we'll organize a search party too.

Sir,

very well.

We'll help you to search for Master Li.

Thank you, Master.

Thank you, Master Quan. It's okay.

Your master was a very dear friend of mine.

I know that, Master.

Oh, brother. Can't we help with the search too?

Of course. Come on.

Master Lee.

Mentally.

Mentally. Mentally.

Look.

What have you found?

A casket. It's for antiques. Perhaps it belonged to Wong.

What can that mean?

I can only assume that it was Wong's. And he met Lee here.

And they were both robbed

and murdered.

What's in hell and save, is this?

Hey, Shentai. What do you want? We've come to take you back.

We have to take you back to young master Wong. So come on.

First, you mustn't say why.

Wong Quoc thinks your father was the one who killed our master.

So he wants you as a hostage until your father's found.

That's not right.

I'm trying to find my father,

and I'm not gonna stop looking until I have found him.

I'm sorry, but you're coming with us.

Uh-huh.

Oh?

Shang. Shang.

Are you alright? Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It's alright.

I'm here.

I really took care of them okay, didn't I? Yes.

And that big one,

when I just picked him up and threw it through the air,

I bet he won't wake up for days. Yes.

Well, you better wipe your nose.

Anyway, I tried my best with him.

Indeed, Chang. You did well.

You think so? You really think I did? Of course. Come on.

Let's go. Sir, you really thought I did well?

Le long? Really?

Here you go. Here you go. Here you go.

Here you go. How about you, sir?

Would you like today's special? No?

Okay. Alright.

Sir. Okay. Master. Master.

Master.

What the hell you are?

Yes. Yes. Hey. It was just a matter of the bill. That's all.

I'm not paying one red cent for that slop.

That pig swill gave me high burn.

You can whistle for your money.

But I'm not very good at whistling.

Well, then you're not getting a penny out of me.

But but you there.

Why don't you just pay your bill like everybody else?

We don't want any trouble.

What do you mean?

Why don't you just stay out of this, Sonny?

You might get hurt.

Stop saying rubbish and pay the man his money.

Pastor,

I'll teach him a lesson. Leave it to me.

Just sit back and watch.

Are you laughing at me?

Man, I'm gonna kill you for doing that.

Better get up and start fighting like a man, you

idiot.

Fools, you're incapable of even bringing back one man.

Master, he really fought like ten men.

We didn't stand a chance. Come now. Fought like ten men.

Choupat, ask my uncle to come and see me.

Sir.

And the rest of you, you're dismissed. Sir.

Master?

Mhmm. What is it?

Master, Buang Quoc would like to see you.

Ask him to come over here.

Yes.

Oh. Have have a seat.

Buon Quoc, what's on your mind, my boy?

Tell me, uncle.

Do you know of any reason why my father might have been murdered?

A reason?

Well, I think he might have had some treasure with him when he went

to meet Lai, and then Lai murdered him for it.

The mere thought of it makes me angry.

Tell me,

what are you and your brother planning to do about it now?

Of course.

We're gonna get revenge for father's death.

The thought of life getting away with the murder, well,

it makes my blood boil.

Curse that man's black soul.

Isn't there anything we can do, my nephew?

Don't worry. We'll get our revenge.

I promise you that.

Yes. We must.

We must. And then by god, then they'll pay so dearly for this.

They'll wish they were dead too.

And by god, we'll get them.

Uncle,

if we can't get Lay, then we'll get his son.

Get his son?

Yes.

Looks as if Huang has been here already.

Yes. It does, master, while we were away.

Well now, I think we should ask for Quan's help.

Master.

Master. Master. I'm really sorry about all this. I know.

I'm sorry too.

You go back to the house. You go with him.

Now I'll see you both a little later.

Yeah. Yeah, sir.

Come in, Leilung.

Master Quan, good day. Greetings, Master.

Oh, you just arrived. Yes. Come and sit down.

This whole business must be most upsetting to you, Li Lung.

Yes. You're quite right.

That's why I've come. To seek your opinion.

Your eyes, they're still troubling you, master.

They don't seem to get any better.

But anyway, that's not important.

So let's talk about your father.

It was four nights ago.

Your father went to meet Wang and after that,

they both disappeared.

Then Wang was found the next day in the forest.

But there was no son of your father.

So then Wang's family started accusing your father of the murder.

But really they've got no proof at all of your father's guilt.

Master Kwan, what do you think happened?

Have you got any idea at all?

I really wish I knew. I don't know what to think.

Stay long.

I'm so sorry about your father's death.

Thank you for your consent, Mei Ling.

My brother, you're better than ever.

I'm glad you're back. We need you here now.

The family needs you. We shall avenge our father's death.

Yes.

That's agreed.

We shall find our father's murderer.

And then we shall avenge our father's death.

It is our duty.

So it is.

Mei Ling?

Yes?

It's very nice of you to help. Very nice.

It's nothing.

Tell me something now.

Do you really think that my father is guilty of murder?

Oh, no.

Why on earth should your father ever commit a murder?

Marteley is a man of integrity and honesty.

Everyone in the village knows that.

But why then have Wong's family accused us of this?

It's grief.

Pure grief has blinded their judgment and filled their minds

with poison and hate against you.

But now you're back home in the village and you can find your

father and you'll prove his innocence, won't you?

You're right.

I shall find my father and prove his innocence.

He may have been kidnapped.

He may still be alive.

Mei Ling, can you think of anywhere where they haven't looked?

Where he may be hidden?

Yes. I can.

There's a cave on the other side of the hill,

the one they say is haunted.

Haunted?

Cheng.

I'm going up the hill to take a look.

You guard the house.

But just you be careful of those ghosts now.

Don't worry. Goodbye.

Leloom, I'll come with you.

Do you want to? Yes.

I'll come.

What is all this?

It belonged to your father.

And you're not gonna believe me when I tell you where I found it.

Tell me then, where was it? Hidden.

In the way at your uncle's place, I'm absolutely certain.

I saw it when you sent me there today. I'm positive.

Well, now, perhaps father had given it to him.

But there's something else too.

I've seen him looking at other treasures.

And when I've come in, he's hidden those too.

How do you mean?

Perhaps your uncle knows a lot more

about your father's murder than he says.

He's been acting suspiciously.

I don't know what to think.

I'm beginning to wonder about it.

Is that a fact? Yes.

You think my uncle had something to do with this?

I'm afraid so, mister Wong.

Let's go.

Brother.

What is it? We're gonna get along.

Alright. Come on. Let's go.

What is it?

But there's nothing there.

But I saw it. I did.

What do you want?

Your master, of course.

Tell us where he is.

Well, he's gone out.

Why don't you just stop bothering us?

Why don't you go and leave us alone

before I get really angry?

Alright.

Get them.

Not bad.

You fight very well, but you're not good enough for me.

Why don't you just come and get us then?

Right.

You take them home now. Right away.

Me?

I'm gonna dig around and wait for our friend to come.

Right then. Come on.

Now I wonder,

Do the boys suspect anything?

How are you feeling now?

Oh, I'm feeling quite well now.

Your mind must have been playing tricks on you.

There aren't really any ghosts here, you know?

I know. You don't believe me, do you?

Alright then. I believe you.

You must have seen something.

But anyway, there aren't any ghosts out here, Mei Ling.

It's so beautiful.

That scares the ghosts away, you know.

Yes, Layla. You're right. It is nice here.

It's a beautiful day.

It reminds me of the time we were children and we played

together and the sun always shone.

Or at least it seems like that later.

Yes. Mei Ling.

Mei Ling. Master Kwan wants you at home.

You have to go there at once.

But how did you know I was here?

Well,

I went to Master Lei's house and his men told me that you'd

both come up here to the cave.

We must go. You go ahead.

Tell me what my brother wants then.

He doesn't want you.

No.

I want you. I want you to be my wife. You know I love you.

Is that so? Well, I don't love you, and you should know that.

Please stop pestering me.

But, Meiling, I'm offering you everything

I've got.

I am a wealthy man,

and I'll do everything I can to make you happy.

Be my wife.

I shall tell my brother if you don't leave me alone.

So you come back?

I've been waiting for you.

Alright. What is it?

Do you recognize me?

Alright. What do you want?

You're men are hostages.

We want your father in exchange for them.

Musk?

Musk? My father is innocent.

Why don't you believe me? Is he?

Then why isn't he here to defend himself then?

I wish I knew myself.

I've been searching for him night and day.

Now you'd better move out of my way.

Better you move. That's my advice, my friend.

If you want to live, tell me where master Lay is.

Tell me the truth this time.

The truth.

Honestly, we told you the truth. Yes. That's right.

Why won't you believe us? Oh, yes.

I don't believe you. I'll give you one last chance.

We don't know.

Very well then.

It's your own choice.

Then

Sir, sir.

Just a minute.

Wong Coug. And you, Lung Lay.

You've got eyes at least. Well done, Wong Coug.

He's my prisoner.

Oh,

yeah?

If you can keep him.

He wants your brother to live.

Give me my men and be careful.

And if I say no?

Then you'll give me no choice.

First, do you really want to sign your brother's own death warrant?

First, I've got another suggestion.

Meet me in an honorable fight.

Just man to man.

If you win, you can have your men back.

And if I win, I can have your life, and you will die.

Are you afraid?

Not of you.

Please stop.

Please stop. Stop all this terrible fighting.

She's right. You know?

Why don't you just calm down and stop fighting?

But Lee murdered my father.

I've gotta take revenge for him.

My father's innocent,

and I'll prove it if it's the last thing that I ever do in my entire life.

Get out of my way.

Kwak,

you must calm down and have patience.

We have no proof that Lee is guilty.

I've always believed master Lee to be an honorable man.

I may be wrong,

but if I am, I promise you he'll be brought to justice.

You have my word on that.

Rest assured that I'll keep my word. I'm a man of honor.

Sir, a good day, and take care.

Presents for you.

Oh,

and you.

Oh.

Watch it.

Jen.

Yes?

Have you seen my uncle? Yes.

He went to try to find out where Lay's hideout is. Really?

Hey, mister Kwan.

What are you doing here?

Sorry, master Kwan.

But I've been waiting to hear from you for days.

Shh. We'll talk alone.

I told you never to come here. What are you doing here now?

Well, can't you realize that I killed my own brother because of you?

I want my share of the money. I need it now.

You have to wait until tonight.

I'll leave the money in the usual hiding place at the old

temple at eight tonight.

Oh, thank you, master. Thank you.

And make sure you're not followed. Alright?

Yes.

Well, I wonder what it was you saw in that cave, have they?

Well, perhaps it was someone dressed up as a ghost

to frighten us off.

Mei Ling, I think I'll go up there now and take another look.

Alright then. I'll come with you.

Mei Ling, I have to go there alone. It may be dangerous.

But I'll only worry if I have to stay here alone.

Please take me with you.

I'm sorry, Mei Ling. I can't.

Well then, I'll wait up for you here.

Good. Good.

Long.

My grandmother gave me this.

It'll protect you from evil spirits.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

It's been in the family for countless generations.

It's very lucky, and it could protect you if you wear it.

Wear it. Wear it around your neck for me.

I'll wear it for you.

It'll bring me luck.

Yes.

Let me help you of of your

head.

Thank you, Miling. I'll be back soon.

Mhmm. Where's uncle? Did you find him? Yes.

I've just seen him leave his house a minute ago.

Come on.

There he goes, the dirty old bastard.

Get off him.

Can you see him anywhere?

No, no.

But he can't have got

far.

Go up there along that ridge and you go with him. Sir.

Where's the money?

Why should I give you money? You're not worth anything.

You're just a lot of trouble.

You mean you're trying you're trying to cheat me?

But look at you.

Well, now you even cheated your own brother,

and you took his life.

A man like you doesn't deserve a single thing.

You cheating bastard. You can't do this.

Can I?

What are you gonna do about it? You bastard.

Yeah.

We meet again and nobody's going to save your

worthless neck this time.

Get ready.

Get ready to die. Buon Quoc, you don't understand.

I think I can find the murderer

if you only give me time.

Don't try any tricks with me.

Don't you ever listen.

Prepare to die.

Missy,

Leilung told you not to come.

He'll be angry when he sees you.

Oh, Sheng. I'm not worried about that in the least.

It's so late. We can't just sit around here doing nothing.

I think she's right. Leilong may need us.

Let's go on then.

Yeah.

It's Wong Chan.

Who? Wong Chan? Missy, let's get out of here.

It's dangerous. The murderer may still be hanging around.

Yeah. Alright then. Let's go. Come on. Right.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Yes. Come in.

That bit going then. We've no time. No time to lose. Yes.

Come on.

We've been looking for you everywhere.

Come on.

Well then, where do you think you're going?

We were looking for Martha Leigh, if you really must know.

That's a likely story. I know you, Meiling.

You're Leilong's girlfriend. And don't deny it.

Now what are you up to now?

If you don't tell me the truth, you can pay with your life.

But you can't recognize the truth.

I tell you, master Wong. That is the truth.

I recognize that.

It belongs to my uncle.

Get him.

Wait. You're wrong.

Frelink, get back.

I'll get you

for

this.

Don't say you haven't asked for this.

If that's the way you want it, well then.

When I get to the bottom of all this,

I'll come back and see you again. Let that be a warning.

What brings you here? Has anything happened?

Yes. Wang Chuan's been murdered.

No. You mean he's been murdered.

I'm afraid so.

Now what do you think?

Do you think that the murders and my father's disappearance

are all connected?

Do you have any idea at all about how this all hangs together?

Tell me, what do you think about this?

The crucial question is who's the murderer?

Well, that's it. I'd also like to know.

Well, it would be a stranger.

Someone from outside the village.

It could be.

But somehow I don't think so.

You see, I've got a strange feeling that it's someone we all know very well.

Master.

Mhmm. What's your opinion about this?

Leela, I'll have to think about it.

Good.

I'll see you later.

Go get some sleep. We'll meet tomorrow.

You madman, why do you come in here with

those muddy shoes?

You idiot.

I'm sorry, sir. I just didn't think.

Get back up to the cave and move the body.

And, by God, if you make mistakes, you'll suffer.

Understood, sir.

We've taken enough from Quan and his sister. You too.

You go and get the rest of the men.

I think we should go and talk to him.

All the rest of you, you follow me. Sir.

I'm really sorry about your aunt. But don't you worry.

He'll hate it.

But dear brother, there's been enough bloodshed already.

I don't want any more on my account.

Womgoth needs a lesson he won't forget.

Well then Chu, now you'd better tell me. The murders.

They were done by your friend, Master Quan.

Right?

Now

tell me whose are these?

You know? Mine, they were given to me by Master Quan.

These were by one's body.

You must have also helped with the murders.

Why don't you make a complete confession?

Confession?

You, you can go all the way to hell

and back before you get a confession out of me.

You stole meiling from me, you dirty bastard.

How dare you try and bring her into this Choo Yung.

I'm only interested in finding my father's murderer.

How very noble. You make me sick.

Just who the hell do you think you are, you bastard?

All this was your choice, not mine.

Now tell me, where is my father's body?

Where is he buried? Stop.

There is a pile of rocks back in the cave.

Back in the cave.

Oh, so it's you.

Kinda yet to meet me. I was just coming to see you.

You bastard.

We're going to kill you, Quan.

You're just too big for your boots.

You're wrong.

I'm gonna kill you.

Just like you killed our father,

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you were the murderer.

For once you're right, one quark,

how on earth did you manage to guess?

What?

You vicious bastard.

Make sure you suffer for that.

Leilong. Leilong.

Out of my way.

Leilong. Forgive him. Spare his life.

Show compassion. Please, I beg of you.

Please, Mei Ling. Get out of my way now.

Get out. Just Mei Lun.

Leave her alone.

So it's you.

Prepare to fight.

Me?

Please? I beg you. You killed his father. Isn't that enough?

Shut up.

I beg you.

Please spare his life for my sake, if not for his.

Please, Kwan. I'm your sister. Please listen to me.

Go away.

I beg of you as your father's daughter. What?

I wager I'll regret this weakness. Damn it. Alright.

Then,

sir, increase the number of guards and stay on the alert.

Sir.

You'll feel better in a little while, but just you see.

It's alright. I'm feeling better now.

But you must rest to get better.

We've both been through a lot, but it's over now.

But But it's not over by a long way.

It is my duty to avenge my father's death.

I have to kill your brother, Quan, or die in the attempt.

Hasn't there been enough bloodshed already?

I'm so sick of all this terrible killing.

Can't we just go away together to somewhere else and start a new life?

Why must you fight?

Because I have no choice.

I must kill or be killed.

Won't you just let it all alone?

Forget it, and we'll go away together somewhere.

I don't want a dead husband.

No. I'm sorry, but I must do what I have to do.

For my father's memory, for our family and all our ancestors,

this is my destiny.

Oh, darling.

But if you take revenge, it'll just mean more bloodshed.

And if you die, I won't know what to do.

I can't go on living without you.

Leilong, listen to me.

Please think again.

Why can't we leave?

Mei Ling, I've already told you.

Nothing will change my mind.

You care only for your selfish revenge

and not for our love.

Mei Ling, please go now.

I must face your brother tomorrow and kill him if I can.

There is nothing more to be said on the matter.

We must follow our own destinies,

and I know mine clearly.

You must go now. So must I.

May the gods go with you, Lei Lun.

I love you.

I wish things could have been different.

I really do love you with all my heart and all my being.

Master?

Master, your sister's here.

Well, then send her away for God's sake.

I don't wanna hear her. She'll only be in the way.

Tell her I'll send for her when I want her.

Quan?

Cleavus,

what is it?

What do you want now?

Oh, my brother.

Why have you changed?

Changed so much since we were both children?

What's happened to you?

You were the kindest of boys.

How did evil come to take over your heart so much?

Shut up.

You've forgotten completely.

Don't you remember how things were after father died?

I was forced to work eleven hours a day

to get money, to give to mother.

Don't you tell me about our childhood.

I remember it very well.

Oh, brother.

It wasn't always like that.

Well, I no longer care anyway.

I know what I want now and I'll get it.

And nothing is gonna stop me.

Nothing at all.

And no one at all. Not even you.

I spared you last time, but I won't today.
