[Episode 5]

If I run away from my troubles...

and let you face the enemies.

Wouldn't it be a disgrace to our ancestors?

Yuan Jia,

you're the best martial artist in our family.

That's why I asked you to protect your mother and the children.

Yuan Jia.

I've put all of Huo family's hopes in your hands.

Your brother and I...

and all the men of the family shall not fight Ying Si head on.

We just need to stall them...

and buy more time.

Even if they put me in prison,

as long as you manage to get away,

they'll release me...

since they don't have proof.

The prison is quiet.

I can practise martial arts and rest properly there.

Father.

Get up.

Go, quick.

Zhen Sheng, Gao Qi!

Lead the way.

Yes.

Mother, hurry up.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

Young Lady, let's go.

Be calm.

Don't forget the rules.

Yes.

Huo En Di, we meet again.

You come here in the middle of the night.

Don't tell me you want to practise martial arts with me.

Does it look like it?

Ying Si.

You're a martial artist.

Yet you're morally corrupt,

bullying the weak and doing evil deeds everywhere.

You were expelled from the Eagle Claw Sect.

When I heard you worked as a palace guard afterwards,

I was happy for you.

I thought a cushy position in the imperial government...

would provide you with a good life,

allowing you to serve the government well...

and make full use of your martial art skills.

To my surprise,

not only did you not protect the emperor,

you've become the westerners' dog.

How dare you!

I know you're just provoking me...

to buy more time,

so that your son can run away.

Let me tell you,

it's not going to work.

I know he has returned to Tianjin.

I set up a trap...

to lure him back home.

So I could charge you as an accomplice and behead you both.

But I didn't expect...

Huo Yuan Jia to be hard to deal with.

He even sent his disciple to spy on me.

Little did he know that...

I was always one step ahead of him.

I drew 100 portraits of Liu Zhen Sheng.

The moment he entered the city,

the palace guards already had their eyes on him.

Well?

Quickly turn Huo Yuan Jia in.

What are you waiting for?

Yuan Jia isn't home.

He didn't come back.

You've made a mistake.

You're still denying it.

Let me tell you,

it's Lord Yang's idea...

to hang Wang Wu's head on Chaoyang Gate.

Huo Yuan Jia has offended Lord Yang...

when he stole Wang Wu's head.

You say he is not home.

Lord Yang will have to search your house.

Wait.

Huo En Di!

You dare defy us?

The Huo Residence is a place that upholds Chinese etiquette.

I won't let westerners set foot on it.

Mr. Herman, don't be angry.

The old man will die sooner or later.

Don't waste your precious bullets.

You won't let Lord Yang search? Fine.

I'll do it.

Palace guards.

Yes.

Search the house.

Arrest Huo Yuan Jia and those rioters...

who have created trouble.

Bring everyone to me...

regardless of age and gender.

Especially Huo Yuan Jia's wife.

She had lied to an imperial official. I'll rip her mouth off.

Yes.

How dare you!

Back off, Yuan Dong.

Go!

Slow down.

Come on.

Hurry.

Mister Huo, why won't you hold Young Lady?

Don't be rude.

How many times have I told you?

Young Master, why don't you hold her?

It's so dark in here.

She has her veil on.

Of course she'd fall.

We've already had the wedding.

The groom should lift the bride's veil.

That's the rule.

So that's the rule?

I thought you're so ugly that you wouldn't want to be seen.

And you said she's ugly.

Our Young Lady is famous for her beauty.

Our threshold has been worn out from all the matchmakers stepping in.

I'm married. Stop calling me Young Lady.

Have you forgotten?

Yes, Young Mistress.

We'd better hurry.

Don't get left behind.

My Lord, we've searched thoroughly.

There's no one in there.

Huo En Di.

Is there a secret passage in your house?

There's no such thing.

I told you Yuan Jia didn't come back.

But you refuse to believe it.

What about the women and the children?

Yuan Jia has settled in Zhengzhou Security Agency.

My wife has taken the women and children to meet him there.

I don't believe he'd abandon...

such a big family business.

No matter how big the business is,

it's hard to sleep well...

with vengeance in mind.

Huo En Di,

you're treating me like a three-year-old.

Let me tell you,

my informants...

have kept this place under strict surveillance.

No women and children were ever seen going out.

Three carriages...

left in the morning.

I'm afraid your men didn't pay attention.

It's getting late.

If there's nothing else,

I'll have to ask you to leave.

Father.

Father!

Huo Fu!

Ying Si, stop!

Huo En Di.

You think I'm only allowed to kill if I have evidence?

Let me tell you,

I've come to Tianjin...

to exterminate your family.

I'll bear the responsibility...

if any member of my family is found guilty.

You're an imperial official.

Who has decreed...

and ordered you...

to exterminate my family?

Is there no law and order?

The emperor has fled with the Empress Dowager.

Now I'm the law.

Huo En Di, tell me where the secret passage is now.

I'll grant you a swift death.

Or else...

you'll end up like him.

Huo Fu.

Huo Fu.

Hurry, carry Huo Fu away.

Some of you are descendants of the Huo family.

Some of you are disciples...

who have changed your surnames to Huo.

I'm sorry to have implicated all of you.

-Master. -Father.

Don't say that, Master.

You're here to fight the enemies with me.

Those who survive...

shall go to the local authorities and put Si Ying on charges.

First, for colluding with foreigners...

to kill his fellow countrymen.

Second, for cheating the people...

and deceiving the government.

Third, for abusing his power...

and killing the innocent.

You want to put me on charges.

Who are you going to see?

Your old friend, Lord Liu?

He can't come.

I'm afraid he's a little tied up.

You...

How dare you treat an imperial official this way.

He's lucky that I didn't kill him.

Huo En Di, turn Huo Yuan Jia in this instant.

Give me my spear.

Ying Si, today I'll rid the martial world of a scum like you.

[Huo]

Attack!

Come.

Hurry.

Come on.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Come.

Over here.

Xiao Lian, hurry up.

Master.

Old Master has dug a really long tunnel.

-Where are we? -This is our grain store.

It's managed by your brother.

All you ever do is fight. You...

You don't care about the business.

Huo Grain Store?

It's not safe here.

Zhen Sheng, we have to get Mother out of town.

Okay, I'll see if I can find a carriage.

[Huo Grain Store]

Mother, I've asked Zhen Sheng to send you out of town.

What about you?

I'll go back.

No.

Didn't your father say?

You can't go back.

Mother, I...

It's...

It's a gunshot.

The sound seems to have come from our house.

Mother.

I thought everything would be alright once Yuan Jia is gone.

But why was there a gunshot?

Master.

[Huo Residence]

[Huo]

Father.

Brother.

[Huo Family Ancestral Hall]

Brother.

Brother!

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

[Yun Hai Inn]

Mr. Yamamoto.

Mr. Herman.

Come.

Cheers.

General Lu, do you think Huo Yuan Jia will come?

He will.

Don't worry, he'll surely come.

Mr. Yamamoto, what is it about?

You said...

Huo Yuan Jia is the number one martial artist.

I shouldn't drink too much before fighting with...

a peerless expert.

Right. Right.

You didn't use...

your samurai sword just now.

When Huo Yuan Jia gets here,

it'll be your time to shine.

Mr. Herman, cheers.

[Master, I've found out.]

[Ying Si hasn't left.]

[He's staying at an inn in the west.]

[No one is to follow me.]

[Master,]

[but there're so many of them.]

[I've gotten enough people into trouble.]

[I don't want to get you involved.]

[Master,]

[a teacher is like a father.]

-[How can we...] -[Shut up!]

[I've gotten my father killed.]

[You're still very young.]

[Have a good life.]

[Master,]

[take me with you. I'll carry your blade.]

[It's not necessary.]

[Xiao Wu, don't practise martial arts anymore.]

[And don't tell anyone you're my disciple.]

[Master.]

[Xiao Wu.]

[Don't cry.]

[You three listen to Master.]

[Stay in the house.]

[Protect Grandmother and Madam.]

[Master, let's go.]

[You mustn't go, either.]

[Master.]

[I'm not like them.]

-[I've been with you since young.] -[You are not a Huo!]

[My father knew...]

[Ying Si would go on a killing spree.]

[That's why he deliberately sent you away.]

[To get you, my disciples, killed,]

[is to disobey my father's will.]

-[Master.] -[Zhen Sheng!]

[I'll leave my mother to you.]

-[Master.] -[Master.]

-[Master...] -[Master...]

[Master!]

[Yun Hai Inn]

It's Huo Yuan Jia.

Reporting in!

Lord Lu, Huo Yuan Jia is here.

Mr. Yamamoto, patience...

Sit down first.

Sit down.

Huo Yuan Jia is young and aggressive.

His father had just died.

He'll certainly risk his life.

I've prepared four people...

for him to quench his rage.

You can fight him after that.

You may go now.

Yes.

Let them out.

General Lu,

where did you find them?

They're all outlaws.

[I picked them out myself from the death rows.]

[If you like,]

we can go out and watch.

Great.

[Everlasting Prosperity for the Nation]

You may attack together...

and kill this fair-faced man.

Succeed, and you'll be pardoned.

Fail, and you'll be executed.

Who's prepared to lose his head?

General Lu,

what weapon is he using?

It's called Meteor Hammer.

[The one using it is a bandit leader.]

[He once killed 16 people in one night.]

You with the hammer, fight harder.

Smash his brain.

What about this man?

What weapon is he using?

[Everlasting Prosperity for the Nation]

This is called Meridian Double Tomahawk.

[They are brothers.]

[They always fight together.]

[Back in the capital,]

they've killed seven escorts, robbing them of their silver.

This is called Rod Whip.

[Few people in the martial world know how to use it.]

[The one with the whip and the one with the hammer are a team.]

He's the second-in-command among the bandits.

He's switched to a blade.

My lords,

isn't it exciting?

Rubbish!

You're all rubbish!

What's the use in keeping you alive?

Mr. Herman,

whenever your men are ready.

Huo Yuan Jia,

I've been expecting you for a long time.

You've got guts.

Don't you know Mr. Herman from Germany...

and Mr. Yamamoto from Japan...

are here with me?

You've witnessed how powerful the guns are.

Yet you still come to die?

Ying Si,

when I decided to come,

I did not think of leaving here alive.

Today...

I'll use my father's heirloom spear...

to pierce your breast.

And use Wang Wu's blade...

to chop your head off!

Huo Yuan Jia, your skills are truly amazing.

Let's have a duel.

Japanese.

My family has no animosity towards you.

Why are you aiding the evil-doers?

I've come here...

not only to conquer the Forbidden City,

but to defeat all the martial arts experts.

Your brother...

was a mediocre fighter.

Your father...

was decent with a spear.

Too bad..

he's too old.

You Japanese pirate,

you've hurt my father.

I'll give you a taste...

of the Huo Spear Method!

Huo Yuan Jia,

your skill is indeed better than Huo En Di.

My father was seriously ill.

God shall render justice on all of you...

for killing an elderly man.

German guy,

I don't need your help.

Mr. Yamamoto, please calm down.

Mr. Herman saw you getting tired from the fight.

He wanted to teach Huo Yuan Jia a lesson for you.

Huo Yuan Jia,

this is Mr. Herman from Germany.

Western boxing is formidable.

As a Chinese,

don't embarrass your ancestors.

Put down your weapon.

Come fight Mr. Herman.

German guy,

were the wounds on my father's leg...

caused by your gun?

Father,

I know you are watching from heaven.

Today,

I, Huo Yuan Jia will teach this atrocious westerner...

a lesson with the Arcane Fist Technique.

Good.

Nice moves.

Mr. Herman, wait...

Please calm down, sir.

Calm down, sir.

Calm down.

General Herman, give me your hand.

Feeling better now?

I'll shoot him to death.

Hold on... Mr. Herman, please calm down.

I, Ying Si, have been waiting for this day.

Step aside and take a break.

Let me fight him.

Please take a rest.

Huo Yuan Jia,

have you any idea what an icon you've become in the martial world?

Don't play dumb.

You had a fight with Big Sword Wang Wu two years ago.

Although no one was present,

Wang Wu told everyone you won the fight.

As a result, rumours started to spread that...

the unconquerable one in the martial arts world...

is you, Huo Yuan Jia.

Therefore,

I must have a fight with you.

There are many witnesses to our fight today.

Including Mr. Herman.

Once I've defeated you.

I, Ying Si, will take your place as number one.

All the years spent honing my craft...

shall finally pay off.

Curse you!

You practise Chinese martial arts,

yet you have no morals.

You'll always be scum no matter what title you win.

Enough talk.

We'll fight with fists,

not words.

[Everlasting Prosperity for the Nation]

So it was your Eagle Claw that killed my brother?

That's right.

He should've told me where the secret passage is.

[Where is the secret passage?]

[Curse you!]

[Where is it?]

[Yuan Dong!]

What's the matter?

Can't fight me without your weapon?

-Pass me my weapon. -Yes.

Lord Lu.

-Was my father... -That's right.

Huo En Di was killed...

by my unique weapon.

[You...]

[You devil.]

[I should have made you a cripple back then.]

I'm going to kill you!

Spear turning technique?

That's right.

The Huo Spear Method...

is the Yue Spear Method.

Yue Wu Mu was a fiercely loyal patriot.

He designed it specially to kill traitors like you.

Mr. Yamamoto,

may I borrow your sword?

Sure.

Huo Yuan Jia,

I'm not giving you an easy way out.

I'll chop off your hands...

and parade you around the capital.

That way,

the world will know that I, Ying Si,

has defeated you,

Huo Yuan Jia!

Ying Si.

Lord Lu!

Keep Mr. Herman safe!

Capture Huo Yuan Jia!

-My lord. -Capture Huo Yuan Jia!

-Get him... -Be careful.

They have explosives.

They're from the Revolutionary Party!

Shut up!

You losers!

Huo Yuan Jia is in league with the Revolutionary Party?

Huo Yuan Jia, just you wait!

I'll chop off your hands and legs one day.

-Father of our children! -Mother.

How could you leave us behind?

What shall we do, I widowed and them fatherless?

Be careful.

I don't need your help.

Get out of my way.

Master.

Don't wake the others.

Ask Mr. Nong to come here.
