Go home.

You have waited one week.
Please, wait a little longer.

Thank you.
Please, go home.

You will follow me.

Please, go home.

No, you may stay.

Why did you not drink?

After you,
honorable sir.

Young man...

...where did you learn
your manners?

My grandfather, sir.

He taught you well.

Tell me. What is your name?

Kwai Chang Caine.

Caine?
Not a Chinese name.

My father was an American,
venerable sir.

-Where are your parents now?
-Both dead.

Your grandparents?

Dead. All dead.

In the Shaolin Temple...

...we have never accepted...

...anyone of other
than full Chinese birth.

There is a first
for everything.

Come here.

Quickly as you can,
snatch the pebble from my hand.

When you can take
the pebble from my hand...

...it will be time
for you to leave.

Please,
excuse me.

Yeah?

Some water, if it's not
too much trouble.

-Some what?
-Water.

Water? That all you want?
Water?

Oh, that's alright.
Water's free around here.

Where'd you
come from?

-Desert.
-What?

-The desert.
-The desert?

How'd you get across?

-Walked.
-You walked?!

Liar.
Did you hear what...?

Hey! You in the funny hat.

I don't like any slant-eyes
in a white man's saloon.

You know,
I got a nose for Chinamen.

And you. Hey.

You.

You smell
a little yellow to me.

No speaky
the English?

Well, I don't speak Chinee.

If I did, I'd tell you
to get out. Now, get out.

Oh, you want me
to help you, huh?

Now,
that's unfriendly.

Chinaman...

...I'm gonna bust
your head.

I have never seen anything like
what you did to that man.

I have heard.

I sought only to warn you
of what might happen...

...realizing you were
a stranger to this town.

And so brought trouble
on yourself.

I am grateful.

My name is Han Fei.
And yours?

I am Caine.

I am called many names.

But I've chosen Caine.

Have you work?

Here, everyone must have work.

I am waiting
for the engineer...

...who supervises
the railroad construction.

When he has finished
his business...

...we will return to camp.

You may come along, if you wish.
The railroad needs men.

You don't mind railroad,
do you?

No.

How should I mind it?

What is a railroad?

Well, a railroad is--

You will see for yourself.
Mr. McKay! Come.

-This is Caine, a friend.
-How do you do?

He seeks your permission
to ride with us.

-To the camp?
-He needs work.

Does he know
what he's getting into?

Can't you find
anything else?

Alright, he's welcome.

Come.

-Thanks, Han Fei.
-A pleasure.

Good luck.

Yeah?

Oh, McKay.

-Got a problem up ahead, sir.
-Yeah, what's that?

Plans call for blasting a tunnel
through these hills right here.

Apparently, nobody realized that
they were a sandstone formation.

Just to be sure,
I took a few samples...

...and sent them off
to the lab for analysis.

And if it is a sandstone
formation, what then?

It's what they call
a balsa formation.

Perfect for trapped
pockets of natural gas.

Cut into one of
those pockets...

...the smallest spark
could set it right off.

Fortunately, we're still four
or five weeks away from there.

We'll have the results
of the test samples before that.

What if it comes back
like you said?

-Balsa formation?
-Yeah.

You'll just have
to call out the surveyors...

...and lay out
an alternate route.

How long?

Two and a half,
three months.

Mr. McKay, this railroad
is getting $48,000...

...for every mile of track
that we lay...

...and 20 miles of land on each
side of the right of way.

How do you think
they're gonna feel...

...about taking three months
to re-route?

We're dealing
with men's lives here.

You want that
on your conscience?

You speak English?

Yes.

Say something more.

Yes,
I speak English.

Pay is 75 cents a day and food.
Put him to work.

Hey!

Behave yourself,
we'll get along.

Fertile land.

A man could grow
many things here.

Then grow us some food, farmer.
My belly aches from what we eat.

Newcomer,
why don't you speak?

A man without words
is a man without brains.

If one's words are no better
than silence...

...one should keep silent.

Supplies are in.
Supplies are in.

-New men.
-Why so many?

To make up for those whose bones
line the right of way.

Alright, don't stand around
here. Get them unloaded.

You are the new student.

Come closer.

You cannot see.

You think
I cannot see.

Of all things...

...to live in darkness
must be the worst.

Fear is the only darkness.

Take your broom
and strike me with it.

Do as I tell you.
Strike!

Again.

Here. Catch!

Never assume that because a man
has no eyes he cannot see.

Close your eyes.

What do you hear?

I hear the water.

I hear the birds.

Do you hear
your own heartbeat?

No.

Do you hear the grasshopper,
which is at your feet?

Old man...

...how is it that
you hear these things?

Young man...

...how is it that you do not?

It's plain
he needs no company.

A Shaolin priest
is at one with himself.

Why is he here?

What brings a Shaolin monk
to this country...

...in clothes that conceal
what he is?

Enough. You work
on the roadbed.

Your clothes are not
so different from his.

But I am no priest.

How long is it
that you've been here?

A very long time,
sir.

How long?

Not very long.

Soon you will learn.

To hit a target
in this manner

is to exercise
the inner strength.

Indeed, there are
two kinds of strength.

The outer strength
is obvious.

It fades with age
and succumbs to sickness.

Then there is the chi,
the inner strength.

Everyone possesses it too.

But it is indeed much more
difficult to develop.

The inner strength lasts...

...through every heat
and every cold...

...through old age
and beyond.

Walk the rice paper softly
as you can.

Be careful
not to tear it.

Turn around.

Look at the paper.

When you can walk the rice paper
without tearing it...

...then your steps
will not be heard.

For every man,
there is a proper place.

But you, a man like yourself
should do what is his calling.

Pardon my rudeness.

Perhaps I was wrong
in bringing you here.

What happens in a man's life
is already written.

Man must move through life
as his destiny wills.

Yes, yet each man is free
to live as he chooses.

Though they seem opposite,
both are true.

I do not understand it.

You have taken in much,
old man...

...like the waters of the Tao.

First thing the young cast
aside is manners.

You value manners, old man.
We value other things.

Would you acknowledge
the worth of the priest?

Yes, if he will get us
decent food to eat...

...provide us with a way
to stay warm.

Or will he sit there with his
good manners and polite smile...

...while we starve
and the old ones die of cold?

In the Shaolin Temple,
there are three kinds of men:

Students,
disciples and masters.

Development of the mind
can be achieved...

...only when the body
has been disciplined.

To accomplish this...

...the ancients have taught us
to imitate God's creatures.

This is Sun, master
of the white crane system.

From the crane...

...we learn grace
and self-control.

The snake teaches us suppleness
and rhythmic endurance.

The praying mantis teaches us
speed and patience.

And from the tiger
we learn tenacity...

...and power.

And from the dragon,
we learn to ride the wind.

All creatures,
the low and the high...

...are one with nature.

If we have the wisdom
to learn...

...all may teach us
their virtues.

Between the fragile beauty
of the praying mantis...

...and the fire and passion
of the winged dragon...

...there is no discord.

Between the supple silence
of the snake...

...and the eagle's claws...

...there is only harmony.

As no two elements of nature
are in conflict.

So when we perceive
the ways of nature...

...we remove conflict
within ourselves...

...and discover a harmony
of body and mind...

...in accord with the flow of
the universe.

It may take half a lifetime
to master one system.

Can it be true?

I heard the story
from two men...

...one whose cousin
had lately come from China.

If it is true, it is not to say
this priest is the same man.

It is he.

Why would he
come here?

Man runs a long way
with a price on his head...

...for murder.

If that is so,
he is worth much more...

...than any of us
will ever see.

Only to one
who could kill him.

-Not many can do that.
-Another with the same skills?

Yeah, come in.

Why, here's that boy
I was telling you about.

Come on in, come on in.

Help yourself.

No reason why anyone doing us
a favor has to go hungry.

Go on, go on, go on. Plenty more
where that came from.

That is, if what you have to say
is worth anything.

Dillon!

You've got men
blasting in the hills up here!

Plans call for putting
a tunnel through.

We want it through
and ready for track...

...by the time these men
reach it.

That sandstone formation is sure
to be filled with methane.

You've got my report.

What report?

Whatever you did with yours,
I still have two copies.

One is going out to the head
office in San Francisco...

...and the other to the adjutant
general in Washington.

If you dig that tunnel
and anything happens...

...I'm gonna see you
hung up to dry.

-Master Teh.
-Yes, student Caine.

What is the best way
to deal with force?

As we prize peace and quiet
above victory...

...there is a simple
and preferred method.

What is that, sir?

Run away.

Perceive the way of nature...

...and no force of man
can harm you.

Do not meet a wave head-on.
Avoid it.

You do not have
to stop force.

It is easier
to redirect it.

Learn more ways to preserve
rather than destroy.

Avoid rather than check.

Check rather than hurt.

Hurt rather than maim.

Maim rather than kill.

For all life is precious,
nor can any be replaced.

Accident.

Bury him.

Get some shovels.

Well, maybe you'd like
to say a few words, priest.

You are a priest,
ain't you?

You bother me,
Chinaman.

I get the feeling
that you think...

...you're better
than the rest of them.

Maybe you can lay ties
around the clock.

Maybe you don't feel the cold
the way they do.

But I'm gonna show you
you can bleed the way they do.

The tunnel
through the hills.

The engineer warned them.

I wonder how many
of our people are in there.

This is
our own doing.

We showed them
only weakness.

The weak will
always be abused.

Only when a man is strong
and feared is he safe!

Dangerous talk.

You talk of danger,
old man?

Tomorrow they will
order us...

...to clear the entrance
to the tunnel...

...and when that is done, more
of us will be sent in to die!

He's right.

Because we are not white,
they consider us worthless.

We are many,
they are few.

If we fight, at least we choose
the manner of our deaths!

Wait, wait.

How will you fight? And what
will you use against their guns?

Rocks! Our hands!

You will lead these people
to be slaughtered like sheep.

Should we stay and dig our
own graves? Are they right?

Are we less than men?

Men do not beat drums
before they hunt for tigers.

What would you have us do,
priest?

-Wait.
-For what?

Starvation?
The tunnel?

Will our deaths be
any less certain?

The time to fight
is now! Come!

To fight for yourselves
is right.

To die vainly
without hope of winning...

...is the act of stupid men.

Let one death
be enough.

They owe you a lot.

Dig another grave.

Caine.

I got a telegram here.
Chinese legation in Washington.

It's in answer
to one we sent.

They say you're wanted
for murder in China.

They ask us to take you
into custody.

Hands behind your back.

Nobody.

Nobody comes in here to see him.
You got that?

Right.

Good afternoon,
grasshopper.

I have learned many things,
old man.

You have learned discipline
and acquired many new abilities.

However, never forget that a
priest's life is a simple one...

...and must remain
free of ambition.

Have you no ambition,
Master Po?

Only one.

Five years hence,
it is my wish...

...to make a pilgrimage
to the Forbidden City.

It is a place where even priests
receive no special status.

There, in the Temple of Heaven,
will be a festival.

The full moon of May.

It will be the 13th day
of the fifth month...

...of the Year of the Dog.

That is not
such a great ambition.

But it is ambition
nonetheless.

Who among us
is without flaw?

-Raif, I swear--
-Shut up!

We didn't turn our backs on him
for a minute!

-Didn't he take anything?
-Nothing!

He's afoot
and he's hungry!

Hate to lose him.
He's worth money.

I sent men in
to cover town.

If he's headed that way,
they'll pick him up.

-And if he's not?
-If he's not?

Well, you know
this country.

Wind, cold, desert.

Without a horse,
without food...

...he's good for two days,
three days.

Alright, you give him four.
Then send out a search party.

Pick up what's left of him.

Maybe he's worth something
to them dead.

Time for you
to leave.

Remember always...

...that a wise man walks
with his head bowed...

...humble,
like the dust.

Goodbye, old man.
My master.

What do you hear?

I hear
the grasshopper.

Raif, where do you want us
to park this dynamite?

Way over there.

It's here.

Wanna start blasting
again tomorrow?

There's a crew up there bringing
out what's left of the bodies.

What is it, you think there's
any more gas in that tunnel?

We'll find out tomorrow.

Go over and get yourselves
some grub...

...and then get that stuff
over to the blasting--

Well?

Let me go after him.

You're not
afraid of him?

A Chinaman?

He's a very special
kind of Chinaman.

He walks through walls.

You won't hear him,
see him or touch him.

I'll touch him
with this.

-You sure?
-Let me take two men.

Go ahead.

Pray, Chinaman.

Caine!

This is Dillon.

They tell me
you'll be able to hear me.

I wanna talk to you, Caine,
face to face!

I want it to happen
while it's still daylight...

...while I still got
an even chance.

In case you have any doubts,
I ought to tell you...

...the boys have staked out
a friend of yours.

Han Fei, the old man.

If you're not back in camp
before sundown...

...I might not be able
to stop them.

They wanna nail him
to a railroad tie!

Let the old one go.

I need insurance.

If he makes a move, any kind
of a move, kill both of them.

Grasshopper!
Did you think you could fool me?

It would take more
than years for me...

...to forget the footsteps
of my favorite pupil.

How have you been,
old man?

Well. And you?

Good.

The years
have been good.

Quiet and measured.

Flowing slowly...

...like water.

And what brings you to the road
leading to the Temple of Heaven?

I come to celebrate
your life ambition.

The full moon of May.

Thirteenth day...

-Move back!
-...of the fifth month...

-Move!
-...the Year of the Dog.

Make way
for the royal nephew.

Out of the way.
Get out of the way.

You dare to touch an escort
of the imperial house?

Humble apologies.
I meant no harm.

-Who are you?
-I am Po.

Lowly priest
from Hunan province.

-And you?
-I am Kwai Chang.

Also priest of Hunan.

Even one of the royal house...

...should not punish an old,
blind man twice...

...for the same offense.

He's just killed the royal
nephew! Get the guards!

-He's still breathing.
-Let's get these ropes off him.

Did you...?
Did you kill him?

Yes, my master.

After all your teaching,
I have disgraced myself.

No. Sometimes one must cut off
a finger to save a hand.

There will be a price on
your head. No place to hide.

You must leave
the country.

If I had a son...

...all I could offer him
is contained in this pouch.

Please, take it.

They have all gone.

Yes.

You are alone.

You are Caine.

And you?

For money.

A Shaolin monk...

...does not sell himself
for a handful of rice.

You are more
than a handful of rice.

I have spent many weeks
searching for you.

It's long been known that you
have escaped to this country.

And so...

...you have found me.

People will remember
what was done here.

They will think of it
with respect.

The taking of a life
does no one honor.

What will you do?

Work.

Wander.

Rest when I can.

He will never let you rest,
the emperor.

He sent this man after you.
He will send others.

They all know
you are here in America.

They will
search you out.

Then let them find me.
