The Legend II (1993) Movie Script
1
[woman] The seed falls,
and with time
it's carried far from
the tree that bore it.
Yet the seed longs to return.
For the tree is filled
with memories.
- Ma!
- Fong, save yourself.
No way!
You need my protection.
[grunting]
Memories that are joyful,
and memories that are
filled with pain.
Ooh, ow! That hurts.
It could have been a lot worse
if I hadn't shielded you.
Please, Dad, no!
I'm coming home, yeah!
[groaning]
Hey, you look great.
[shouting]
[horse whinnying]
[woman] He longs to return,
no matter how great
the distance,
or how barren the terrain.
Because the memory is so
strong and lasting and clear.
Its images are glimpsed
through time's pallid veil,
like an apparition.
Come on, come on!
- Coming unbidden.
- Yeah!
A shadow.
Wait a minute.
[grunts]
A shadow, a whispering wind,
- calling his name.
- [girl] Sai Yuk.
[laughing]
[people cheering]
[hissing, popping]
[man] Our people have
been looking forward
to this celebration.
[chuckling]
Yes, good.
It pleases me to see them
enjoying themselves.
[sighing]
Sai Yuk, do you know
how lucky we both are?
This is the way it should be.
[man] Go away, we don't
allow begging here.
- No, no. Go away.
- But, sir, it's for the poor.
- Now, go away.
- Don't you understand?
I told you, there's no
begging here. Now go away.
- Hey!
- Can't you just...
He's with me.
- Bless you, my son.
- Sorry, I didn't know.
[grunting]
Only a minute ago
you threw him out.
- Shall we?
- Fine.
Ow, my knees!
What hit me?
Reverend, there's plenty
to eat, so go on.
Ah, bless you.
Allow me the great honor of
reading your fortune tonight.
I foresee that you will lead
an extraordinary life.
- Me?
- That's nothing.
He already has
an extraordinary wife.
[laughing]
Yes, I'm sure.
You will bring him happiness.
I foresee that you will have
one boy child and one girl.
- Isn't that wonderful?
- Wait. No more?
I predict a minimum
of two girls,
and two boys for you, sir.
Ah, that's great.
Wait, sir.
Do you mean that I'll...
Yes, you comprehend.
But, uh...
[sighing]
Wait, Ting Ting!
Reverend, help yourself,
I've gotta go.
- Thank you. Wait.
- Ting Ting, wait!
[reverend] I'm not finished.
Don't go away.
I'm afraid my godson is
always in such a big hurry.
Sir...
...you beware.
Your face is clouded with evil.
You're mistaken.
No, it seems clear to me.
Your palm.
[scoffing] All right.
Go on.
[gasping] Emperor!
Good sir, why are you
calling me Emperor?
Because I saw it.
The markings on your hand
are those that only one of
the royal line would have.
[woman] My son, it is
no longer safe for you here.
You will go to Japan
to live under the protection
of Mr. Yu, leader of
the Red Flower Society.
Your new name
will be Chan Ka Lok.
Inside of this sacred box,
are documents which prove
your true birthright.
One day, when it is safe,
I hope that you will be able
to return to the throne.
[shouting]
Yes, you should be cautious
about what you tell people.
I'm telling you what I saw,
nothing more.
I am... I am sensing a man
who is close to you
will betray you.
Yet another person close
will be there to protect you,
perhaps save your life.
[crowd] Whoa, whoa!
Sai Yuk, when do we
get to be alone?
I thought we were married.
Doesn't seem that way now.
Don't be silly.
I love you.
Oh, then, maybe you can...
...show your feelings.
[whispering]
Wait. You mean,
make an ass of myself?
- [Sai Yuk] They'd laugh at me.
- [Ting Ting] They might laugh.
But I need to hear it
from you once in a while.
Hmm, all right, then.
- Hmm.
- If it's a problem...
...well, I'm sorry.
Lay down here with me.
All right, then.
Good, but, um...
Don't make it sound wrong.
Hmm. All right.
[Sai Yuk] I love you.
- Good?
- Let's try it again.
- Can you say it?
- All right.
- I love you.
- Oh.
[gasping]
What? Beat it,
right now.
What he said was pretty nice.
I'd like to have
such a good boy.
You're crazy.
Hey, how about it?
Sai Yuk, did you hear
what he said?
- Knock him out.
- But why?
Because of what he said.
Let's beat him up right now.
Don't try it.
- I'll do it.
- Think so?
Hey, stop it, now.
Come on!
[both] Hey, your dad's
calling you.
See that?
Your father wants you.
Go on.
There.
I'll come back again,
you'll see.
Hmm, see you then.
Let's go.
[cheering]
Go!
They're good.
[indistinct chatter, cheers]
[Chan] Watch out!
Reverend!
Help!
[shouting]
Someone, please!
[people screaming]
What happened?
I'll go see.
[shouting]
[grunting]
[all shouting]
All right.
Shall we do it?
[screaming]
[shouting]
[all groaning]
I'm just waiting.
[screaming]
[all shouting]
Hold it!
It could be a trap.
Save your strength.
[man] The meeting of
the Red Flower Society
will come to order.
Congratulations,
you men and women
have done well.
Now let's hear from
some of our members.
Who has a report?
Mr. Chan, sir. Our new
fishing rights agreement
will take effect at
the start of the month.
[man] The brood mares
have given birth
- to three more colts.
- Ah.
It seems like it's all
good news, right?
The Society is doing
tremendously right now.
The value of our property
in Shanghai
has increased three times.
[man 2] Sir, all this good news
calls for a celebration.
[Chan] I'm afraid not.
Some of our neighbors
have been victims
of the recent flooding.
We will loan them some money.
Wow, I could do all that, right?
No, you couldn't.
It'd be too much for you.
What? Come on.
I'm up to it.
[children giggling]
Mr. Chan, will you honor us
by naming our baby?
Yes, of course.
- Thank you, sir.
- [baby crying]
He's a handsome boy.
Why don't we name him...
...Sun Ti Yung.
I hope that he will give you
a lot of pleasure.
[baby crying]
[crowd shouting]
Don't kill her!
She tried to kill you, sir.
I had to do it.
Why would Mrs. Leong...
Look. It's someone
in a mask.
Who could this be?
Say, that woman was with you.
What happened
to Mrs. Leong?
Hey, what are you
babbling about?
Why don't we ask him some
questions about the woman?
- [man] Oh, yeah.
- Sure.
Who's behind it?
He's jealous
because his father didn't
appoint him to lead us.
Aren't you, Mr. Yu?
And so you've become obsessed
with murdering our leader.
- That's a complete lie!
- Prove it then.
[crying]
Stop that.
How can we expect
to overthrow the Manchus
when we fight each other?
We must stand united.
He can forget it.
Well, what happens if
we don't come together?
What? What difference
would it make?
The only good philosophy
would be to stay neutral.
Oh, stay out of trouble,
is that what you're saying?
Exactly. You said it.
You said it.
For those of you
who question my loyalty
to the Red Flower Society,
I will prove myself.
Hey!
So I see you were fighting.
Your father was a loyal subject,
and his son...
...could not be
any less honorable.
I promise that I will
search out this traitor scum.
And I will kill him!
[child] Father.
What happened with her now?
- My son, go away.
- Hold on.
Son, you've seen this woman?
Yes, sir.
Dad was talking with her.
Before the meeting started.
Well, there you have it.
You shut your face!
[all gasping]
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
He's your own son.
- Who are you?
- Who am I?
Aw, are you saying
that you don't know me?
Well, I'm our leader's
favorite relative,
known as Fong Sai Yuk.
Do you know who I am?
Oh, yeah.
The boy beater.
- [grunting]
- Down!
What are you doing?
Do you know who
Mr. Yun's father is?
He's our former leader!
Sir...
but the little boy was...
That will be enough.
Mr. Dong.
Uh, why are you looking
at me like that?
Give Fong Sai Yuk
some of your knowledge.
Teach him our commandments.
With pleasure.
Good.
See that he learns well.
[Dong] The commandments
of the Red Flower Society.
One: You will not steal
another person's property.
Two: You will not covet
the property of another.
Three: You will not covet
the wife of another man.
Four: You will
always be truthful.
Five: Honor our leader
in every way.
Hey, are you getting it?
I'll start again.
It's more like
the Seven Taoist Commands.
Yeah, that's just where
he got it from,
and Mr. Yun has
adapted it for us.
Huh, I thought so.
[Yun] I see you're
a slow learner.
[footsteps approaching]
[Yun] Today, you insulted me,
and I'm not about to forget it.
It's time you learned
a more important lesson,
from one who is your superior.
Who? The one who hits boys?
I'd like to see you handle
someone that hits back.
How should we settle this?
Maybe your godfather
could come to your rescue.
No! The book of commandments
says to settle this
a different way.
Fighting.
Are you ready to fight?
Hmm? Uh-uh.
[both grunting]
[grunting]
[Yun growling]
[grunting]
Enough!
[Chan] Fighting is not
for settling disputes
within the Society.
We are a family!
You should save it
for the Manchus.
I'm sorry. When someone
insults the Yun name...
...I will fight.
Be prepared to do it again.
The commandments
that you learned.
Did you understand them?
- Uncle, it wasn't me.
- That's enough! Kneel.
- Your reason.
- The boy. His own child.
No one should hurt
a baby like that.
You are sure
in your convictions.
It's your actions I'm
concerned with right now.
But am I supposed
to just ignore it?
Perhaps.
Yes.
When it's necessary.
You think too much
like your mother.
Maybe you should go home to her.
So, keep reading. I know
he wants you to learn it.
Anyway, this part's the hardest.
Here.
You know what?
He didn't have to do that.
Maybe we ought to go and
visit with your mother.
What?
Well, why wouldn't we?
I'll tell you all one thing.
One of these days...
...I'll do it, really.
I'll be... the leader.
[man] Hey, come on.
Come on!
[man 2] Yeah.
Soup.
Soup always has to be made
with only the best vegetables.
Madame, someone's
here to see you.
Hmm? Oh!
What's this?
A birthday party?
- Tell me, where's Sai Yuk?
- Why?
From the Yangtze
to the Kowloon Harbor,
I fought them all, and they
call me the Duke of Hell!
Duke of Hell?
I'll show you some hell.
[blowing raspberry]
Fong Sai Yuk's mother.
Now get the hell
out of my sight.
Where's she going?
Hey! Stop her.
There's just one more thing
I've got to say.
- Yeah?
- Watch this.
Bite me!
[exclaiming]
[all shouting]
Well, how'd you like that one?
[laughing]
Madame Fong.
That was a real good one.
Oh, my soup! Oh, my.
Is that for Master Fong Sai Yuk?
You bet it is.
See you later.
[whimpering]
I miss my master so.
[shouting] Sai Yuk!
My good sir.
I wonder if you might
be able to help me.
I'm all out of water.
Ah!
[gulping]
[gasping]
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
[man's voice]
On the first of the month,
a band of Japanese samurai
will travel nearby.
They will have the sacred box
in which your secret is hidden.
- Mr. Lin.
- Yes, sir.
- Mr. Wong?
- Here, sir.
[Dong] I hope he doesn't
want me to go.
- Mr. Dong.
- Uh, I don't think...
...I'm ready yet.
Take someone on the mission
who is more prepared.
Calm down.
Better to name a good fighter
to go on this mission.
That won't be you.
Who would be your choice?
[chuckling]
I say we take Sai Yuk
because he's always ready.
That's what I think anyway.
- Fong Sai Yuk.
- [exclaiming]
- Yes, sir!
- Go, Sai Yuk!
The mission is yours.
Do you accept it?
I do.
Some of you may not come back.
[all exclaiming]
[all] All of us
are prepared to die.
Bring back the sacred box.
- The numbers four and nine.
- Four and nine.
[both laughing]
What is so damn funny?
Well, they were laughing.
Because you've got
the loser's hand.
- In mah jongg?
- Roulette.
- I don't play it.
- Ah. Wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Remember now?
Oh, yeah. Number six,
I shall not steal.
Besides that. You shall bring
my girlfriend something.
I won't forget.
Bye, good luck. Hmm.
[shouting, horses whinnying]
[Ting Ting] Sai Yuk!
Hold on. Let's be certain
that you're safe.
Take this.
It's good luck.
Yeah, you're right.
We can't just sit here all day.
We're on a mission.
Why are we waiting then?
Goodbye.
Stay safe, all right?
Bye-bye.
[cow lowing]
[horse approaching]
Ah. Hello!
[Ting Ting] It's Mama Fong.
Lei Ling!
What brings you here today?
Go on. Go on.
- My stable.
- Yes, miss.
- So what's the occasion?
- I brought soup for Sai Yuk.
- He's on a mission.
- Right now?
- Mm-hmm.
- But I made some soup for him.
I can't believe you brought
his favorite soup all this way.
Mmm. Looks good.
What's the matter?
[Sai Yuk] Quiet.
Hear that?
[flute playing]
[man] It's the samurai.
[man 2] That woman's in trouble.
Wait. I've seen
that woman before.
Hey, there, miss.
What are you doing?
Get away.
- Hello, Sai.
- You know me?
- [men gasping]
- [man] The sacred box.
[all exclaiming]
[all shouting]
They used nerve blocking
to paralyze you.
But I can undo it.
[gasping] Hey!
I'm still paralyzed
from the waist down.
Oh.
- I'm sorry.
- Go on.
I'm not sure how.
I'll carry you.
Come on.
[gasping]
[groaning]
[men shouting]
[samurai] Get them!
Go!
[gasping]
[whimpering]
[all shouting]
[gasping]
- [exclaiming]
- [shouting]
[shouting]
[man] I'm going
to paralyze them!
Get them!
[all shouting]
[all] Matsuhiro!
Matsuhiro?
It's your mother.
Ma. The box.
Right there.
We need it.
Yes, sir.
[Sai Yuk] Take it!
[all shouting]
- Still here?
- Ha, still here.
I'll take that box now.
[all exclaiming]
[all grumbling]
[all grunting]
- All my nerves are blocked.
- Can she do anything?
Hmm?
- Oh, no.
- No?
I wouldn't know how.
Oh, come on.
[insect buzzing]
Hey, he'll do.
[grunting]
[gasping]
Now, try to get it
into a good position.
Look out.
Now blow it at me hard.
[blowing]
I keep missing.
You do it.
[Lei Ling] Your technique
needs work.
It's too high!
[swallowing]
[gasping]
It's so...
[groaning]
I missed, huh?
- [laughing]
- Sorry.
Is it bad?
[groaning]
Tastes like you'd
expect it to taste.
- Hey, watch.
- [buzzing]
It's going to get interesting.
[gasping]
[loud buzzing]
[blowing]
That did it. Let's go.
[gasping]
- What are you looking at?
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
- Wait, wait.
There's something
you can show me.
All right, I'd be happy to.
What is it?
Well, how do you
unparalyze the legs?
Just hit 'em in the stomach.
Oh.
[sighing]
Take that!
Fong Sai Yuk.
[slurping]
- It's Fong Sai Yuk.
- Mmm.
Listen, son, let me
do the talking. Me.
But, Mom, you can't.
There he goes, following
his mother around again.
[all laughing]
I know.
Always her little dog.
He follows her.
If you have something to say,
then say it out loud,
or keep your mouth shut.
Look at you all, sitting here
stuffing your faces
while my son is out risking his
neck for the Red Flower Society.
If any of you had
an ounce of bravery,
instead of sitting here, you'd
be out doing something about it.
But all I see
are six or seven men
who I must say, haven't
shown me a damn thing!
Shut up!
On this mission,
why was it only your son
returned unharmed?
What of it?
Does your mother
fight your battles?
- So!
- [grunting]
Simple. He fights better
than most of them.
Understand?
You want me?
Well, let's do it then.
Only remember who started it.
You don't have to fight
this fool for me.
For once, shut your mouth!
- I'm sick of it!
- [Chan] Mr. Yun.
I'll take care of it.
- Uh-huh.
- [Lei Ling] Mr. Chan.
If I might possibly
have a word with you?
- I'm Mrs. Fong.
- Yes, you're Sai Yuk's mom.
That's it?
The boy's mom?
Mr. Chan, all of Hanmai
knows my reputation.
Don't tell me you don't know me.
About all the fights
that I've won?
Please tell me you know me.
You must be joking.
Can't be. Son, let's get
out of this house.
I'm being toyed with.
Good day.
We have a duty
to the Red Flower.
Stay here then, I'll go.
Hmm?
[exclaiming]
I think I've changed my mind.
If you happen to be
looking for me,
- I'll be here.
- [thunder cracking]
[rain falling]
[thunder]
It's pouring.
You shouldn't be out.
I have come to visit.
Oh!
[grunting]
[groaning]
I've brought some presents.
A few trinkets, and some
Japanese sake moto.
Stronger than wine.
- Let me help.
- No, wait, no, wait.
I'm not sure I'm up to it.
I haven't seen this before.
Oh, well, guess it's all mine.
But, it's immoral.
Listen to what I'm saying.
You... you can't
drink that in here.
What will people say?
Please, I'm begging...
[gasping]
That's right.
You'd... better help me.
Or I might get drunk.
[laughing]
But it's sake moto.
We'll both end up drunk!
And you don't want...
[groaning]
[laughing]
These fingers are very,
very, very, very, very
very, very, very eager.
[giggling]
Don't tell me you're shy.
[slowly] You're afraid
it will go too far?
What have I done
to deserve this?!
[groaning]
I thought I'd seen the last
of her so many years ago!
[thunder cracking]
Wait, wait.
- Where are you going?
- War's over.
You mustn't try to stop me.
- Take this.
- No.
Anything but that.
You know how much
you love my soup.
Here.
I can't, or I'll
never go to war.
There isn't anyone
around to see us.
Perhaps if we
shared it once more?
No. Why do you tempt me
when you know I must go?
- There.
- [clattering]
Damn fool.
There's something about sake.
The more you drink,
the more you want.
Mmm.
All right, then.
You have to do something for me.
- You...
- Just a minute now.
I'm not interested in
prostituting myself, so...
I'm sure I'll survive
without that.
Listen, I want you to teach me
the fatal nerve block.
[groaning] Shh.
[both] Shh.
But that's a secret move.
It won't be imparted now.
Maybe you should hear me out.
Fong Sai Yuk is the one
who needs to learn it.
I want you to show it to him.
What for?
I mean, why?
Why do you think?
So the rest of them who know it
won't be able to take advantage
of him so much anymore.
- [snoring]
- [grunting]
[rooster crowing]
- [clattering]
- [Dong grunting]
Hey.
- Keep quiet about it.
- Oh, shut up.
Ever try good manners?
Old bat.
- Good morning.
- Huh. Lei Ling.
Did you sleep all right?
What are you wearing?
I was practicing.
Hey, I have a question.
If a married woman
um, were to, um...
...or to sleep
with someone,
a person to whom
she wasn't married,
but the two of them were
doing it... doing it.
Well, you know.
You know what they were doing.
You think there's
anything wrong?
Mom, what?
Something so low.
Ah... there's not even a good
word for what she's doing.
I mean, I just think that
sleeping around like that
can't be forgiven.
I mean, what kind of woman
would carry on like that?
You know very well
that it's wrong.
Now what kind of woman
could this person be,
sleeping with a man
she isn't married to?
What was she thinking?
The whole town should...
They should just destroy
this little whore
as an example, so it
won't happen again.
So, now that we've settled that,
do you want to go
to the market today?
Lei Ling? Lei Ling!
[Dong] Hey!
What are you doing?
I'm all naked.
You should have kept
your clothes on last night.
This is what you did.
[gasping]
She's pregnant!
Wait! It's not possible.
- Damn it.
- Hey!
Get out of there right now.
Let me show you
what I do to guys
who take advantage of me
while I'm sleeping,
you lousy little pig.
I ought to cut you...
Hey, put that thing away!
Not until I'm finished.
I'll make you pay for this.
[shouting]
Listen, think about it.
Even if something happened
it's not possible for you
to get that big so soon.
Sure, that's what you say.
It's got to be something else.
There's no way something like
that can happen overnight.
I've heard the same story
a lot of times before.
You set me up so you could
have your way with me.
No, listen, it's got
to be something else.
Like what?
I could tell what it is,
- by taking your pulse.
- Is it a boy or a girl?
Gas. When you're drunk,
you get gas.
Oh.
Ah.
[man] The samurai
have brought me the box.
So I want all of you
to guard it well.
Yes, sir!
[humming]
[giggling]
Cho Su Li.
Cho Su Li!
Yes, Father?
What are you daydreaming about?
A boy.
[Emperor]
Well, that's enough.
We failed in our attempt
this time.
Now the leader's ready.
Fong is a problem.
But we can still do it.
Sir, but now we're
under suspicion.
- So what?
- [grunting]
If we're under suspicion,
I have information that there's
a secret about Mr. Chan
in the container
that the samurai brought
to the Mandarin.
We'll get it.
[Chan] I'm concerned that
someone may try to steal
the sacred box.
If that should happen, then...
I'm afraid my chances
of ruling will be gone.
Master, the Mandarin's daughter
seems to be fond of Sai Yuk.
Why not send him after it?
I don't think so.
It's too dangerous for him.
But, sir, please think about it.
The Mandarin's daughter
would know
exactly where her father's
secrets are kept.
Don't you agree with that?
You see, sir, I've
composed a letter.
[Sai Yuk] Are you here,
Godfather?
Sai Yuk, what is it?
My mother made some soup.
I've another assignment for you.
Yes.
Listen, the box was located.
Good, then. That shows
that anything can be done.
Precisely.
Except it isn't finished.
Right.
What's the mission?
Here, take a look.
This is a love letter from me.
Uh, yes.
This is just how you
begin your assignment.
Talking to a woman
and thereby establishing
some kind of way to win
her trust so she'll help us.
Understand?
But wait.
No, no, no, no, no!
But what... what if my wife
finds out about it?
Now don't you worry about it.
Who's gonna tell her?
I suppose. But should I
pretend that I'm in love?
It's up to you.
I just want you
to get close to her.
And have sex with her?
No sex.
You get my box. You're going
to the Mandarin palace.
That's where you'll meet her.
Is this girl someone
that I've seen yet?
Yes.
You will recognize her
when you see her face.
I hope she won't want
to get married.
- That'd be a disaster.
- [Yun] Mr. Chan.
What about... me, sir?
I'll volunteer to go.
Yeah. He could
take my place.
But you're not a ladies man.
Listen. He failed on
the previous mission.
Now it's my turn to try.
But your father worked
against the Mandarin.
They wouldn't let you in
without a fight.
Sai Yuk isn't
known to them at all.
Yes. And she really likes him.
We'll see. We'll see.
I just might succeed.
- You betting on it?
- Certainly.
- Why don't we set a wager?
- What is your bet?
If I lose, I'll find a way
to destroy my kung fu.
All right, then.
Don't be worried.
[Cho Su Li] "A chance meeting
along the riverbank,
and now I have
only fate to thank.
I long for a word,
a glance, a look.
I remain your servant.
Fong Sai Yuk."
Oh, how wonderful!
[giggling]
[gasping] Dad.
A young man wants to court me.
I know that you'll like him.
So who is this young man?
- Is he a scoundrel?
- No, he's not.
Well, then, if he
wants to court you,
- he'll have to prove himself.
- Well, that's perfect.
Mom, shouldn't I tell Ting Ting?
No. There she is.
Hold this.
Wait, I don't want it.
You hold it.
All right, listen.
Yeah. What should I do?
You should just kiss her,
that's what.
Don't play shy. You'll see
what I'm talking about.
Just go right over there
and give her one.
- Right here?
- There she is.
OK, then.
Let's get to it. Hmm?
- [gasping]
- You've come to me.
At long last.
- But we, uh...
- Are you scared?
- Ma?
- I'll fix that.
Come on, don't be afraid.
You should have kissed him.
Hmm.
She wants you all the more.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
You don't want to
let her get away now.
Better go.
All right.
[grunting]
Ooh!
[smacking]
That was easy.
[gasping]
What are you doing?
Go after her.
What? You mean...
...you kissed one of
the Buddhist nuns?
Hey, it could be the first kiss
that she ever got.
- Now, come on.
- OK.
She might ask you for more.
- [whimpering]
- [nuns murmuring]
I must have scared her away.
Maybe she doesn't want me.
- Oh, stop it.
- Stop what?
Sai Yuk, do you want
to marry me or not?
Sure I do.
But there's one condition.
- Well, what is it?
- That box you have.
All right, I can get it somehow.
But you also have to
prove yourself,
in a competition you'll win,
and you'll also
declare your love.
- Deal.
- Bet on it.
The competition will soon start.
The winner will marry Cho Su Li.
The rules are simple,
so now listen.
Whichever man retrieves
the flowered ball
from the top
of the bridal sedan,
I shall proclaim the winner.
And then he will also
wed my daughter.
The true competition
will now begin.
[playing fanfare]
[crowd exclaiming]
- Ooh.
- Oh, yeah!
- What arresting beauty.
- Look!
[Cho Su Li] Where is he?
She'll make a fine bride.
Too bad.
Too bad she'll be mine.
I'll win.
She'll be my wife,
once I'm finished.
Sorry, my friends.
I'm going to win.
Contestants, get ready.
[all grunting]
And start!
[all shouting]
Kick them.
[shouting]
Go!
[screaming]
[grumbling]
[shouting, struggling]
I told you we'd be late
carrying this flagpole.
Don't worry, these guys
can't keep us out.
[both] What do you want?
The girl.
- The kung fu contest.
- It's too late.
Am I?
[grunting]
Mmm.
[laughing]
Ooh!
[laughing]
[shouting]
Hello.
- Huh?
- Hey, there.
[groaning]
[screaming]
- Yeah.
- [men grunting]
'Bout time you made it.
- I'm sorry.
- [grunting]
Have you been waiting?
So long.
Bored yet?
[grunting]
Hey. Don't get thrown off.
Well, men, have
a nice ride down.
[screaming]
Are you ready?
I was hoping you were
going to ask me that.
All right.
[all shouting]
[audience exclaiming]
Good, huh?
Why, just amazing.
Huh?
I know.
You want me to jump.
[shouting]
- [all chattering]
- Whoo! Let's go.
Thanks.
What?
[gasps]
- [Sai Yuk] Hmm?
- What's the matter?
Can't you look me in the eye?
[grunting] Ready?
Hey, wait.
- I'm shocked.
- Wait a minute.
Come on.
Let me explain.
Have you gone crazy?
Didn't you think I'd
find out about this?
Well, yes, but there's
more to this than...
- I don't want to hear it.
- ...seems to be right now.
- I'm not going to listen.
- If you listen...
- I'm not!
- [grunting]
That might have hurt.
How about this?
[all exclaiming]
- Come on, settle down.
- I'm not done.
Be sensible.
I will not.
Why is she bothering us?
- Uh...
- I'll tell you why.
I'm his wife.
Don't believe it.
Oh, two can play at that.
All right.
Wait!
[both grunting]
[struggling]
Creep!
There must be a better way.
Let me at 'em.
Mom!
You asked for it.
Will you help me break this up?
- Who should I take?
- That one.
- Li, come on.
- Ting Ting, come on now.
Please, stop fighting.
He's doing a...
He doesn't love her.
- Trust me.
- I don't care.
Someone should have
mentioned something to me.
Hey, you wouldn't have
wanted him to do it.
- Come on now, Li.
- Let me go!
I'll make you into a slave.
Let me see you try it.
Come on now, please.
- Please!
- Let me go!
Hey, take it easy.
The minute he realizes
what kind of woman you are
he'll drop her
like an old habit.
- Whoa now!
- Why?
Well, it was for Mr. Chan.
All right, if you
don't care about her,
- then go slap her.
- I will.
Stop.
You want that box?
Huh?
All right, then I'll do it.
Wait, don't do it.
[gasping]
You keep your hands
away from Sai Yuk.
He loves me, not you.
Just ask him if
you don't believe me,
unless you're afraid to.
Hmm?
[sobbing]
Why won't you look at me?
- But...
- So?
I'll jump then.
[gasping] Come back!
[shouting]
[exclaiming]
Stop it! Why won't
you let me fall?
I won't. You're my wife.
I'm supposed to be
your only wife.
Sai Yuk, save me!
What?!
[gasping]
[Li] So strong,
just like you are in bed.
Mmm.
You took her to bed?
All right, let me loose
and I'll fall, OK?
What are you doing?
She's making it up.
Let me go!
Son, ready to catch an old lady?
[shouting]
Wait! My hands are full!
Someone else catch me.
[screaming]
Lei Ling!
[all exclaiming]
Oh, boy.
You better start running.
[all shouting]
- [Lei Ling groaning]
- Mmm.
Listen to me.
Try to understand.
Sai Yuk didn't want to do it.
Will you forgive us?
Liars.
[Lei Ling] I know
it wasn't fair to you.
Please, please forgive
him. Please!
Fong, I hope...
...you two will have a long
and happy life together
as husband and wife.
Hey!
Lei Ling, it's time
for me to go.
You understand, don't you, dear?
All rise, and greet
my new son-in-law.
My love.
Hmm. I want more.
All right!
I love you, Cho Su Li!
[sobbing]
The outside world
seems still and distant
to the wedded couple.
- Happiness holds them...
- [sobbing]
...in its tender embrace,
and finds only sweetness
and laughter as companions.
Ah.
As they embark on
their new life together...
Whoops. Huh?
...nothing,
nothing can...
Lei Ling, I don't want
to hear that right now.
Shall I sing a song instead?
I keep remembering...
...Sai Yuk reciting
those words to me.
What do you say?
Shall we?
What's your hurry?
I'll keep my end of the bargain
as long as you keep yours.
What do you really want?
Me or what's in your old box?
What? You know
I want the box.
- Take it then.
- [gasping]
[knocking] It's me.
Are you finished?
This way.
[guard] Halt!
Stop them!
You all seem to be in a rush.
Where do you think you're going?
- To eat.
- To church.
Is that so?
You used deception on us.
You fooled us to get
what you wanted.
Now, I'll take back the box,
that my daughter says
you stole from her.
Is that what she said?
Now how can that be?
- Why don't you ask her again?
- Enough of your fooling.
- Charge them!
- [all grunting]
Hey, don't come near us.
Or I'll kill the Mandarin.
[gasping]
Where did that thing
come from? Whoa!
It's done now.
You will give me the box.
Light it.
- Hey, Ma.
- Maybe he's bluffing.
- What's that?
- Is he wrong?
[Lei Ling] Then we
better start running.
OK, let's go.
- Mom? Where is she?
- Couldn't leave without you.
[Li] Stop.
Dad, if he dies, then I die.
You mean you'll take
your own life?
I... owe it to him.
- He's my husband.
- You slept with her?
Save it for some other time,
we're about to be shot.
Well, you decide.
- You can't!
- So, you will stop it now.
[grumbling]
[sighing]
Go away.
And do not return.
I'll lead. Now.
Come on, hurry.
Thank you.
[sobbing]
[whinnying]
All right. Ting Ting,
you take the box.
[shouting to horse]
Mom, I want you
to protect the box.
I will. You know you can
count on me, son.
After the woman.
[whinnying]
Ting Ting. Don't get
yourself caught.
I know.
Look out, Sai Yuk!
[whinnying]
Go, Sai Yuk. Go!
[panting]
[indistinct chatter]
- Ah.
- I knew it.
- There he is.
- Sure is.
That's right. I return
to you with the box.
It took longer than I thought,
but I brought it.
You have succeeded.
[grunting]
What?
- [grunting]
- You want it? Come and get it.
[Sai Yuk] Or would you
rather see it burn?
Ah. You want me
to destroy it,
so no one can learn the truth.
I must have been blind not
to see such an ambitious man,
intent on overthrowing
our Red Flower Society.
- That's what you're doing.
- Watch yourself.
Yun's dangerous.
So, you tricked me.
But I'm onto you.
I don't think you have
the box at all.
It's just a model,
a substitute, right?!
You're right, it's a model.
But the real box is safe,
and it will arrive soon.
Sai Yuk, you mean...
...that you don't have it?
No, do you know why?
Because they tried
to steal it from me.
Enough! You said
you would bring it.
This means you will
have to disable yourself.
- Sai Yuk, you don't belong.
- [Yun] You lost the wager.
- [crowd exclaiming]
- Let me talk.
Do you have it?
That's impossible.
Are you going to...
Did you bring it?
I'll have it.
It's safe.
Though I haven't
brought the box here.
Go on, do it.
You force me!
[shouting]
[panting]
- Sai Yuk.
- [chuckling]
He's defenseless now.
But if someone should
try to hurt him...
...I'll come after you.
[Chan] I'll kill you.
[panting]
[Lei Ling screaming] No!
[sobbing] What did he do to you?
Oh, no!
- Let me at him!
- Wait, stop and listen to me.
Will you?
Would you listen to me?
All his nerve endings
are intact.
We can bring his skill back.
- Do you mean it?
- Oh, yeah!
Sai Yuk.
Sai Yuk.
Ma, make sure he gets it.
Ah, so the box showed up.
Uh, Mr. Chan is
really the Emperor?
Emperor?
But that means trouble.
I'll destroy it
as soon as possible.
- Hey.
- What?
Don't you dare destroy it.
This will come in handy.
[woman] Li Dong,
open up, it's me.
I came to warn you all.
Yun and his men are on the way.
That's it. Faster.
All right, now hurry.
Let's get out of here.
- Have Fong read it.
- The book on nerve blocking.
- Thank you.
- They're here.
Make sure he reads it all.
Better get moving now. Go!
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Surround the house.
Company, halt!
Come out!
Fong Sai Yuk, your day has come.
He won't be needed.
[all laughing]
You know what?
This is your day to die.
I wouldn't be so sure about it.
Go get him!
[all shouting]
[chickens clucking]
Not too bad, eh?
Wait'll you see
my nerve blocking.
[grunting]
[clucking]
[screaming]
Here, why don't you take him.
I'm going back.
Can you help him?
- Please.
- I'll try.
- Who are you?
- We're getting married.
Please, take care of him.
- [groaning]
- Where is he?
- Talk!
- Go to hell.
Hey, are you all right?
Find him outside, men.
Go get him!
[screaming]
Dong. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
[groaning]
No.
I must...
have been rusty.
It's been a while...
between fights.
[groaning]
[sobbing]
I should have...
[groaning]
I should have stayed out of it.
But you were so brave.
You saved me.
[sighing]
That would be the first time
I've saved anyone...
...in a while.
[groaning]
Oh, God.
Keep my... memory...
...alive.
Please.
Please.
I promise.
[sobbing]
I won't forget.
[crying]
[Yun] I believe...
...this is what you've
been looking for.
It tells me a great deal
about you.
The would-be Emperor.
You are powerless
without your followers.
We have laid waste to them...
[grunting]
...as I will to you.
Not yet.
Your fight with me is liable
to be your final fight.
Well, do you suppose...
...I'd come without my men?
Go ahead.
See what happens to your men.
- [men chattering]
- No, I can't.
Go ahead. What are you
trying to prove to us?
Once again, the leader
is now Yun.
You begin following me.
You have given me no option.
I will not allow men to die.
You have the advantage.
I will not permit
anymore suffering.
So now, our Society
is at your disposal.
Brethren, once again
the Yun family rules.
It was all worthwhile.
[laughing]
[man] All hail the Master.
[all] Hail, Master Yun.
Mr. Yun, sir.
What about the woman?
- Huh?
- There.
[groaning]
[laughing]
Ah, yes.
You always reminded me
of a mother hen.
Except that you look after
a flock of only one.
Let's see now.
I have something for you...
...mother hen!
[laughing]
[Yun] Get her! Get her!
You're nothing but
a meddling old woman!
[sighing]
[all laughing]
We'll see how many days
you survive.
[gasping]
Mom.
"The Art of Nerve Blocking."
Here you are, Sai Yuk.
Have you heard from my mother?
But it's been a month.
That can't be.
Who's there?
I've come about your godfather.
They're holding him prisoner.
- And my mother?
- It's bad.
She's barely surviving.
They've hung her in the square.
[grunting] Ma!
Sai Yuk, you must rest.
You can rely on the others
to help her now.
No, the others are mostly dead.
Those that have survived...
...are being held prisoner
with Mr. Chan.
Our army does not exist anymore.
There is no one left
to fight them, Mr. Fong.
- No one but you.
- [horse whinnying]
Your son is a coward.
He'll never show!
[grunting]
[choking]
[men chattering]
My mother,
where do you have her?
I will destroy anyone
who tries to stop me.
I will fight...
...with the guidance
of the heavens.
He can't possibly see us.
Kill him!
[screaming]
[men screaming]
You must all beware.
[shouting]
My movements
are guided by heaven.
[both groaning]
[screaming]
[shouting]
[shouting]
[groaning]
[grunting]
[shouting]
[men chattering]
[gasping]
[laughing]
Free my mother.
It's me that you want.
[Yun] Yes, it is you
that I want.
I want to see you die!
But first, I want to
watch you suffer.
Let her go then.
You can see that I
won't run from you.
That would make things too easy.
- Wouldn't it, now?
- All right, then.
[all screaming]
- [groaning]
- [Yun laughing]
[sighing]
[Yun shouting]
[shouting]
Oh, no!
[groaning]
[Yun] I can't wait
to watch your mother die.
And you with her.
[shouting]
[choking]
- [grunting]
- [choking]
[Yun] I think she's slipping.
Oh, no.
[Yun laughing]
Stay where you are!
The Society has a poor leader.
So, better get used to it.
Now!
[shouting]
Not another step.
Because I'll do it.
Sissy boy.
What's wrong? Can't find a way
to save your own mother?
[laughing]
- Come on!
- [grunting]
Fong Sai Yuk.
Still weak, aren't you?
Show me what's left
of your kung fu skills.
Come on. You can get up
and show him.
[exclaiming]
[growling]
No! We'll beat him together.
- All right.
- I'll kill you both!
- What now?
- Let's do it.
[shouting]
- He'll wear himself out.
- Yeah.
[shouting]
Come on!
Which one is the fatal nerve?
On the spine!
It's called the Stone Dragon,
and it works like this.
[grunting]
That's it. Good.
I guess I remembered.
[shouting]
All right!
[screaming]
- [all groaning]
- Mother.
Ah, whoa. That wasn't
so bad, was it, huh?
[both] At least
you can thank us now.
- Thanks.
- What are you doing here?
- What's going on?
- He shouldn't be up there.
Oh, he won't be
bothering anybody.
Well, thanks to us, right?
Let's go.
- Hmm?
- [exclaiming]
[horse whinnying]
[indistinct shouting]
[men] The troops are coming.
It's him.
Huh. It's our side.
[whinnying]
Sai Yuk, why don't you
return with us?
I can't. I've got to be
going my own way.
Too bad, the Society
will miss you.
[Lei Ling] Don't worry,
Mr. Chan.
If you need his assistance
for anything,
you'll have it.
Thank you so much.
It looks like you'll have
your hands full as it is.
- You said it.
- Uh-huh.
I want to give you
something nice.
But I really want for you
to have my gift now.
- Now!
- But listen.
Sai Yuk's grandfather
gave it to him
- when he was just a boy.
- Huh. He told me
the same thing
about this very one.
How could the both of us have...
I have so many of these things.
I'd like you to take one.
[gasping]
You're very kind.
How 'bout you?
[Lei Ling]
Would you like one?
I got about a million of 'em.
We should try
to talk more often.
[both] Sai Yuk!
Oh, my.
Uh, we'll see you later.
[both] Sai Yuk, slow down.
[whinnying]
I guess I'll see you later, huh?
[chuckling]
Best of luck.
[Ting Ting]
What a cheap trinket.
How many other girls
did you give them to?
[Li] I can't believe he
gave me the same present.
[all arguing]
[woman] The seed falls,
and with time
it's carried far from
the tree that bore it.
Yet the seed longs to return.
For the tree is filled
with memories.
- Ma!
- Fong, save yourself.
No way!
You need my protection.
[grunting]
Memories that are joyful,
and memories that are
filled with pain.
Ooh, ow! That hurts.
It could have been a lot worse
if I hadn't shielded you.
Please, Dad, no!
I'm coming home, yeah!
[groaning]
Hey, you look great.
[shouting]
[horse whinnying]
[woman] He longs to return,
no matter how great
the distance,
or how barren the terrain.
Because the memory is so
strong and lasting and clear.
Its images are glimpsed
through time's pallid veil,
like an apparition.
Come on, come on!
- Coming unbidden.
- Yeah!
A shadow.
Wait a minute.
[grunts]
A shadow, a whispering wind,
- calling his name.
- [girl] Sai Yuk.
[laughing]
[people cheering]
[hissing, popping]
[man] Our people have
been looking forward
to this celebration.
[chuckling]
Yes, good.
It pleases me to see them
enjoying themselves.
[sighing]
Sai Yuk, do you know
how lucky we both are?
This is the way it should be.
[man] Go away, we don't
allow begging here.
- No, no. Go away.
- But, sir, it's for the poor.
- Now, go away.
- Don't you understand?
I told you, there's no
begging here. Now go away.
- Hey!
- Can't you just...
He's with me.
- Bless you, my son.
- Sorry, I didn't know.
[grunting]
Only a minute ago
you threw him out.
- Shall we?
- Fine.
Ow, my knees!
What hit me?
Reverend, there's plenty
to eat, so go on.
Ah, bless you.
Allow me the great honor of
reading your fortune tonight.
I foresee that you will lead
an extraordinary life.
- Me?
- That's nothing.
He already has
an extraordinary wife.
[laughing]
Yes, I'm sure.
You will bring him happiness.
I foresee that you will have
one boy child and one girl.
- Isn't that wonderful?
- Wait. No more?
I predict a minimum
of two girls,
and two boys for you, sir.
Ah, that's great.
Wait, sir.
Do you mean that I'll...
Yes, you comprehend.
But, uh...
[sighing]
Wait, Ting Ting!
Reverend, help yourself,
I've gotta go.
- Thank you. Wait.
- Ting Ting, wait!
[reverend] I'm not finished.
Don't go away.
I'm afraid my godson is
always in such a big hurry.
Sir...
...you beware.
Your face is clouded with evil.
You're mistaken.
No, it seems clear to me.
Your palm.
[scoffing] All right.
Go on.
[gasping] Emperor!
Good sir, why are you
calling me Emperor?
Because I saw it.
The markings on your hand
are those that only one of
the royal line would have.
[woman] My son, it is
no longer safe for you here.
You will go to Japan
to live under the protection
of Mr. Yu, leader of
the Red Flower Society.
Your new name
will be Chan Ka Lok.
Inside of this sacred box,
are documents which prove
your true birthright.
One day, when it is safe,
I hope that you will be able
to return to the throne.
[shouting]
Yes, you should be cautious
about what you tell people.
I'm telling you what I saw,
nothing more.
I am... I am sensing a man
who is close to you
will betray you.
Yet another person close
will be there to protect you,
perhaps save your life.
[crowd] Whoa, whoa!
Sai Yuk, when do we
get to be alone?
I thought we were married.
Doesn't seem that way now.
Don't be silly.
I love you.
Oh, then, maybe you can...
...show your feelings.
[whispering]
Wait. You mean,
make an ass of myself?
- [Sai Yuk] They'd laugh at me.
- [Ting Ting] They might laugh.
But I need to hear it
from you once in a while.
Hmm, all right, then.
- Hmm.
- If it's a problem...
...well, I'm sorry.
Lay down here with me.
All right, then.
Good, but, um...
Don't make it sound wrong.
Hmm. All right.
[Sai Yuk] I love you.
- Good?
- Let's try it again.
- Can you say it?
- All right.
- I love you.
- Oh.
[gasping]
What? Beat it,
right now.
What he said was pretty nice.
I'd like to have
such a good boy.
You're crazy.
Hey, how about it?
Sai Yuk, did you hear
what he said?
- Knock him out.
- But why?
Because of what he said.
Let's beat him up right now.
Don't try it.
- I'll do it.
- Think so?
Hey, stop it, now.
Come on!
[both] Hey, your dad's
calling you.
See that?
Your father wants you.
Go on.
There.
I'll come back again,
you'll see.
Hmm, see you then.
Let's go.
[cheering]
Go!
They're good.
[indistinct chatter, cheers]
[Chan] Watch out!
Reverend!
Help!
[shouting]
Someone, please!
[people screaming]
What happened?
I'll go see.
[shouting]
[grunting]
[all shouting]
All right.
Shall we do it?
[screaming]
[shouting]
[all groaning]
I'm just waiting.
[screaming]
[all shouting]
Hold it!
It could be a trap.
Save your strength.
[man] The meeting of
the Red Flower Society
will come to order.
Congratulations,
you men and women
have done well.
Now let's hear from
some of our members.
Who has a report?
Mr. Chan, sir. Our new
fishing rights agreement
will take effect at
the start of the month.
[man] The brood mares
have given birth
- to three more colts.
- Ah.
It seems like it's all
good news, right?
The Society is doing
tremendously right now.
The value of our property
in Shanghai
has increased three times.
[man 2] Sir, all this good news
calls for a celebration.
[Chan] I'm afraid not.
Some of our neighbors
have been victims
of the recent flooding.
We will loan them some money.
Wow, I could do all that, right?
No, you couldn't.
It'd be too much for you.
What? Come on.
I'm up to it.
[children giggling]
Mr. Chan, will you honor us
by naming our baby?
Yes, of course.
- Thank you, sir.
- [baby crying]
He's a handsome boy.
Why don't we name him...
...Sun Ti Yung.
I hope that he will give you
a lot of pleasure.
[baby crying]
[crowd shouting]
Don't kill her!
She tried to kill you, sir.
I had to do it.
Why would Mrs. Leong...
Look. It's someone
in a mask.
Who could this be?
Say, that woman was with you.
What happened
to Mrs. Leong?
Hey, what are you
babbling about?
Why don't we ask him some
questions about the woman?
- [man] Oh, yeah.
- Sure.
Who's behind it?
He's jealous
because his father didn't
appoint him to lead us.
Aren't you, Mr. Yu?
And so you've become obsessed
with murdering our leader.
- That's a complete lie!
- Prove it then.
[crying]
Stop that.
How can we expect
to overthrow the Manchus
when we fight each other?
We must stand united.
He can forget it.
Well, what happens if
we don't come together?
What? What difference
would it make?
The only good philosophy
would be to stay neutral.
Oh, stay out of trouble,
is that what you're saying?
Exactly. You said it.
You said it.
For those of you
who question my loyalty
to the Red Flower Society,
I will prove myself.
Hey!
So I see you were fighting.
Your father was a loyal subject,
and his son...
...could not be
any less honorable.
I promise that I will
search out this traitor scum.
And I will kill him!
[child] Father.
What happened with her now?
- My son, go away.
- Hold on.
Son, you've seen this woman?
Yes, sir.
Dad was talking with her.
Before the meeting started.
Well, there you have it.
You shut your face!
[all gasping]
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
He's your own son.
- Who are you?
- Who am I?
Aw, are you saying
that you don't know me?
Well, I'm our leader's
favorite relative,
known as Fong Sai Yuk.
Do you know who I am?
Oh, yeah.
The boy beater.
- [grunting]
- Down!
What are you doing?
Do you know who
Mr. Yun's father is?
He's our former leader!
Sir...
but the little boy was...
That will be enough.
Mr. Dong.
Uh, why are you looking
at me like that?
Give Fong Sai Yuk
some of your knowledge.
Teach him our commandments.
With pleasure.
Good.
See that he learns well.
[Dong] The commandments
of the Red Flower Society.
One: You will not steal
another person's property.
Two: You will not covet
the property of another.
Three: You will not covet
the wife of another man.
Four: You will
always be truthful.
Five: Honor our leader
in every way.
Hey, are you getting it?
I'll start again.
It's more like
the Seven Taoist Commands.
Yeah, that's just where
he got it from,
and Mr. Yun has
adapted it for us.
Huh, I thought so.
[Yun] I see you're
a slow learner.
[footsteps approaching]
[Yun] Today, you insulted me,
and I'm not about to forget it.
It's time you learned
a more important lesson,
from one who is your superior.
Who? The one who hits boys?
I'd like to see you handle
someone that hits back.
How should we settle this?
Maybe your godfather
could come to your rescue.
No! The book of commandments
says to settle this
a different way.
Fighting.
Are you ready to fight?
Hmm? Uh-uh.
[both grunting]
[grunting]
[Yun growling]
[grunting]
Enough!
[Chan] Fighting is not
for settling disputes
within the Society.
We are a family!
You should save it
for the Manchus.
I'm sorry. When someone
insults the Yun name...
...I will fight.
Be prepared to do it again.
The commandments
that you learned.
Did you understand them?
- Uncle, it wasn't me.
- That's enough! Kneel.
- Your reason.
- The boy. His own child.
No one should hurt
a baby like that.
You are sure
in your convictions.
It's your actions I'm
concerned with right now.
But am I supposed
to just ignore it?
Perhaps.
Yes.
When it's necessary.
You think too much
like your mother.
Maybe you should go home to her.
So, keep reading. I know
he wants you to learn it.
Anyway, this part's the hardest.
Here.
You know what?
He didn't have to do that.
Maybe we ought to go and
visit with your mother.
What?
Well, why wouldn't we?
I'll tell you all one thing.
One of these days...
...I'll do it, really.
I'll be... the leader.
[man] Hey, come on.
Come on!
[man 2] Yeah.
Soup.
Soup always has to be made
with only the best vegetables.
Madame, someone's
here to see you.
Hmm? Oh!
What's this?
A birthday party?
- Tell me, where's Sai Yuk?
- Why?
From the Yangtze
to the Kowloon Harbor,
I fought them all, and they
call me the Duke of Hell!
Duke of Hell?
I'll show you some hell.
[blowing raspberry]
Fong Sai Yuk's mother.
Now get the hell
out of my sight.
Where's she going?
Hey! Stop her.
There's just one more thing
I've got to say.
- Yeah?
- Watch this.
Bite me!
[exclaiming]
[all shouting]
Well, how'd you like that one?
[laughing]
Madame Fong.
That was a real good one.
Oh, my soup! Oh, my.
Is that for Master Fong Sai Yuk?
You bet it is.
See you later.
[whimpering]
I miss my master so.
[shouting] Sai Yuk!
My good sir.
I wonder if you might
be able to help me.
I'm all out of water.
Ah!
[gulping]
[gasping]
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
[man's voice]
On the first of the month,
a band of Japanese samurai
will travel nearby.
They will have the sacred box
in which your secret is hidden.
- Mr. Lin.
- Yes, sir.
- Mr. Wong?
- Here, sir.
[Dong] I hope he doesn't
want me to go.
- Mr. Dong.
- Uh, I don't think...
...I'm ready yet.
Take someone on the mission
who is more prepared.
Calm down.
Better to name a good fighter
to go on this mission.
That won't be you.
Who would be your choice?
[chuckling]
I say we take Sai Yuk
because he's always ready.
That's what I think anyway.
- Fong Sai Yuk.
- [exclaiming]
- Yes, sir!
- Go, Sai Yuk!
The mission is yours.
Do you accept it?
I do.
Some of you may not come back.
[all exclaiming]
[all] All of us
are prepared to die.
Bring back the sacred box.
- The numbers four and nine.
- Four and nine.
[both laughing]
What is so damn funny?
Well, they were laughing.
Because you've got
the loser's hand.
- In mah jongg?
- Roulette.
- I don't play it.
- Ah. Wait, wait.
Wait a minute.
Remember now?
Oh, yeah. Number six,
I shall not steal.
Besides that. You shall bring
my girlfriend something.
I won't forget.
Bye, good luck. Hmm.
[shouting, horses whinnying]
[Ting Ting] Sai Yuk!
Hold on. Let's be certain
that you're safe.
Take this.
It's good luck.
Yeah, you're right.
We can't just sit here all day.
We're on a mission.
Why are we waiting then?
Goodbye.
Stay safe, all right?
Bye-bye.
[cow lowing]
[horse approaching]
Ah. Hello!
[Ting Ting] It's Mama Fong.
Lei Ling!
What brings you here today?
Go on. Go on.
- My stable.
- Yes, miss.
- So what's the occasion?
- I brought soup for Sai Yuk.
- He's on a mission.
- Right now?
- Mm-hmm.
- But I made some soup for him.
I can't believe you brought
his favorite soup all this way.
Mmm. Looks good.
What's the matter?
[Sai Yuk] Quiet.
Hear that?
[flute playing]
[man] It's the samurai.
[man 2] That woman's in trouble.
Wait. I've seen
that woman before.
Hey, there, miss.
What are you doing?
Get away.
- Hello, Sai.
- You know me?
- [men gasping]
- [man] The sacred box.
[all exclaiming]
[all shouting]
They used nerve blocking
to paralyze you.
But I can undo it.
[gasping] Hey!
I'm still paralyzed
from the waist down.
Oh.
- I'm sorry.
- Go on.
I'm not sure how.
I'll carry you.
Come on.
[gasping]
[groaning]
[men shouting]
[samurai] Get them!
Go!
[gasping]
[whimpering]
[all shouting]
[gasping]
- [exclaiming]
- [shouting]
[shouting]
[man] I'm going
to paralyze them!
Get them!
[all shouting]
[all] Matsuhiro!
Matsuhiro?
It's your mother.
Ma. The box.
Right there.
We need it.
Yes, sir.
[Sai Yuk] Take it!
[all shouting]
- Still here?
- Ha, still here.
I'll take that box now.
[all exclaiming]
[all grumbling]
[all grunting]
- All my nerves are blocked.
- Can she do anything?
Hmm?
- Oh, no.
- No?
I wouldn't know how.
Oh, come on.
[insect buzzing]
Hey, he'll do.
[grunting]
[gasping]
Now, try to get it
into a good position.
Look out.
Now blow it at me hard.
[blowing]
I keep missing.
You do it.
[Lei Ling] Your technique
needs work.
It's too high!
[swallowing]
[gasping]
It's so...
[groaning]
I missed, huh?
- [laughing]
- Sorry.
Is it bad?
[groaning]
Tastes like you'd
expect it to taste.
- Hey, watch.
- [buzzing]
It's going to get interesting.
[gasping]
[loud buzzing]
[blowing]
That did it. Let's go.
[gasping]
- What are you looking at?
- Me?
- Yeah, you.
- Wait, wait.
There's something
you can show me.
All right, I'd be happy to.
What is it?
Well, how do you
unparalyze the legs?
Just hit 'em in the stomach.
Oh.
[sighing]
Take that!
Fong Sai Yuk.
[slurping]
- It's Fong Sai Yuk.
- Mmm.
Listen, son, let me
do the talking. Me.
But, Mom, you can't.
There he goes, following
his mother around again.
[all laughing]
I know.
Always her little dog.
He follows her.
If you have something to say,
then say it out loud,
or keep your mouth shut.
Look at you all, sitting here
stuffing your faces
while my son is out risking his
neck for the Red Flower Society.
If any of you had
an ounce of bravery,
instead of sitting here, you'd
be out doing something about it.
But all I see
are six or seven men
who I must say, haven't
shown me a damn thing!
Shut up!
On this mission,
why was it only your son
returned unharmed?
What of it?
Does your mother
fight your battles?
- So!
- [grunting]
Simple. He fights better
than most of them.
Understand?
You want me?
Well, let's do it then.
Only remember who started it.
You don't have to fight
this fool for me.
For once, shut your mouth!
- I'm sick of it!
- [Chan] Mr. Yun.
I'll take care of it.
- Uh-huh.
- [Lei Ling] Mr. Chan.
If I might possibly
have a word with you?
- I'm Mrs. Fong.
- Yes, you're Sai Yuk's mom.
That's it?
The boy's mom?
Mr. Chan, all of Hanmai
knows my reputation.
Don't tell me you don't know me.
About all the fights
that I've won?
Please tell me you know me.
You must be joking.
Can't be. Son, let's get
out of this house.
I'm being toyed with.
Good day.
We have a duty
to the Red Flower.
Stay here then, I'll go.
Hmm?
[exclaiming]
I think I've changed my mind.
If you happen to be
looking for me,
- I'll be here.
- [thunder cracking]
[rain falling]
[thunder]
It's pouring.
You shouldn't be out.
I have come to visit.
Oh!
[grunting]
[groaning]
I've brought some presents.
A few trinkets, and some
Japanese sake moto.
Stronger than wine.
- Let me help.
- No, wait, no, wait.
I'm not sure I'm up to it.
I haven't seen this before.
Oh, well, guess it's all mine.
But, it's immoral.
Listen to what I'm saying.
You... you can't
drink that in here.
What will people say?
Please, I'm begging...
[gasping]
That's right.
You'd... better help me.
Or I might get drunk.
[laughing]
But it's sake moto.
We'll both end up drunk!
And you don't want...
[groaning]
[laughing]
These fingers are very,
very, very, very, very
very, very, very eager.
[giggling]
Don't tell me you're shy.
[slowly] You're afraid
it will go too far?
What have I done
to deserve this?!
[groaning]
I thought I'd seen the last
of her so many years ago!
[thunder cracking]
Wait, wait.
- Where are you going?
- War's over.
You mustn't try to stop me.
- Take this.
- No.
Anything but that.
You know how much
you love my soup.
Here.
I can't, or I'll
never go to war.
There isn't anyone
around to see us.
Perhaps if we
shared it once more?
No. Why do you tempt me
when you know I must go?
- There.
- [clattering]
Damn fool.
There's something about sake.
The more you drink,
the more you want.
Mmm.
All right, then.
You have to do something for me.
- You...
- Just a minute now.
I'm not interested in
prostituting myself, so...
I'm sure I'll survive
without that.
Listen, I want you to teach me
the fatal nerve block.
[groaning] Shh.
[both] Shh.
But that's a secret move.
It won't be imparted now.
Maybe you should hear me out.
Fong Sai Yuk is the one
who needs to learn it.
I want you to show it to him.
What for?
I mean, why?
Why do you think?
So the rest of them who know it
won't be able to take advantage
of him so much anymore.
- [snoring]
- [grunting]
[rooster crowing]
- [clattering]
- [Dong grunting]
Hey.
- Keep quiet about it.
- Oh, shut up.
Ever try good manners?
Old bat.
- Good morning.
- Huh. Lei Ling.
Did you sleep all right?
What are you wearing?
I was practicing.
Hey, I have a question.
If a married woman
um, were to, um...
...or to sleep
with someone,
a person to whom
she wasn't married,
but the two of them were
doing it... doing it.
Well, you know.
You know what they were doing.
You think there's
anything wrong?
Mom, what?
Something so low.
Ah... there's not even a good
word for what she's doing.
I mean, I just think that
sleeping around like that
can't be forgiven.
I mean, what kind of woman
would carry on like that?
You know very well
that it's wrong.
Now what kind of woman
could this person be,
sleeping with a man
she isn't married to?
What was she thinking?
The whole town should...
They should just destroy
this little whore
as an example, so it
won't happen again.
So, now that we've settled that,
do you want to go
to the market today?
Lei Ling? Lei Ling!
[Dong] Hey!
What are you doing?
I'm all naked.
You should have kept
your clothes on last night.
This is what you did.
[gasping]
She's pregnant!
Wait! It's not possible.
- Damn it.
- Hey!
Get out of there right now.
Let me show you
what I do to guys
who take advantage of me
while I'm sleeping,
you lousy little pig.
I ought to cut you...
Hey, put that thing away!
Not until I'm finished.
I'll make you pay for this.
[shouting]
Listen, think about it.
Even if something happened
it's not possible for you
to get that big so soon.
Sure, that's what you say.
It's got to be something else.
There's no way something like
that can happen overnight.
I've heard the same story
a lot of times before.
You set me up so you could
have your way with me.
No, listen, it's got
to be something else.
Like what?
I could tell what it is,
- by taking your pulse.
- Is it a boy or a girl?
Gas. When you're drunk,
you get gas.
Oh.
Ah.
[man] The samurai
have brought me the box.
So I want all of you
to guard it well.
Yes, sir!
[humming]
[giggling]
Cho Su Li.
Cho Su Li!
Yes, Father?
What are you daydreaming about?
A boy.
[Emperor]
Well, that's enough.
We failed in our attempt
this time.
Now the leader's ready.
Fong is a problem.
But we can still do it.
Sir, but now we're
under suspicion.
- So what?
- [grunting]
If we're under suspicion,
I have information that there's
a secret about Mr. Chan
in the container
that the samurai brought
to the Mandarin.
We'll get it.
[Chan] I'm concerned that
someone may try to steal
the sacred box.
If that should happen, then...
I'm afraid my chances
of ruling will be gone.
Master, the Mandarin's daughter
seems to be fond of Sai Yuk.
Why not send him after it?
I don't think so.
It's too dangerous for him.
But, sir, please think about it.
The Mandarin's daughter
would know
exactly where her father's
secrets are kept.
Don't you agree with that?
You see, sir, I've
composed a letter.
[Sai Yuk] Are you here,
Godfather?
Sai Yuk, what is it?
My mother made some soup.
I've another assignment for you.
Yes.
Listen, the box was located.
Good, then. That shows
that anything can be done.
Precisely.
Except it isn't finished.
Right.
What's the mission?
Here, take a look.
This is a love letter from me.
Uh, yes.
This is just how you
begin your assignment.
Talking to a woman
and thereby establishing
some kind of way to win
her trust so she'll help us.
Understand?
But wait.
No, no, no, no, no!
But what... what if my wife
finds out about it?
Now don't you worry about it.
Who's gonna tell her?
I suppose. But should I
pretend that I'm in love?
It's up to you.
I just want you
to get close to her.
And have sex with her?
No sex.
You get my box. You're going
to the Mandarin palace.
That's where you'll meet her.
Is this girl someone
that I've seen yet?
Yes.
You will recognize her
when you see her face.
I hope she won't want
to get married.
- That'd be a disaster.
- [Yun] Mr. Chan.
What about... me, sir?
I'll volunteer to go.
Yeah. He could
take my place.
But you're not a ladies man.
Listen. He failed on
the previous mission.
Now it's my turn to try.
But your father worked
against the Mandarin.
They wouldn't let you in
without a fight.
Sai Yuk isn't
known to them at all.
Yes. And she really likes him.
We'll see. We'll see.
I just might succeed.
- You betting on it?
- Certainly.
- Why don't we set a wager?
- What is your bet?
If I lose, I'll find a way
to destroy my kung fu.
All right, then.
Don't be worried.
[Cho Su Li] "A chance meeting
along the riverbank,
and now I have
only fate to thank.
I long for a word,
a glance, a look.
I remain your servant.
Fong Sai Yuk."
Oh, how wonderful!
[giggling]
[gasping] Dad.
A young man wants to court me.
I know that you'll like him.
So who is this young man?
- Is he a scoundrel?
- No, he's not.
Well, then, if he
wants to court you,
- he'll have to prove himself.
- Well, that's perfect.
Mom, shouldn't I tell Ting Ting?
No. There she is.
Hold this.
Wait, I don't want it.
You hold it.
All right, listen.
Yeah. What should I do?
You should just kiss her,
that's what.
Don't play shy. You'll see
what I'm talking about.
Just go right over there
and give her one.
- Right here?
- There she is.
OK, then.
Let's get to it. Hmm?
- [gasping]
- You've come to me.
At long last.
- But we, uh...
- Are you scared?
- Ma?
- I'll fix that.
Come on, don't be afraid.
You should have kissed him.
Hmm.
She wants you all the more.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
You don't want to
let her get away now.
Better go.
All right.
[grunting]
Ooh!
[smacking]
That was easy.
[gasping]
What are you doing?
Go after her.
What? You mean...
...you kissed one of
the Buddhist nuns?
Hey, it could be the first kiss
that she ever got.
- Now, come on.
- OK.
She might ask you for more.
- [whimpering]
- [nuns murmuring]
I must have scared her away.
Maybe she doesn't want me.
- Oh, stop it.
- Stop what?
Sai Yuk, do you want
to marry me or not?
Sure I do.
But there's one condition.
- Well, what is it?
- That box you have.
All right, I can get it somehow.
But you also have to
prove yourself,
in a competition you'll win,
and you'll also
declare your love.
- Deal.
- Bet on it.
The competition will soon start.
The winner will marry Cho Su Li.
The rules are simple,
so now listen.
Whichever man retrieves
the flowered ball
from the top
of the bridal sedan,
I shall proclaim the winner.
And then he will also
wed my daughter.
The true competition
will now begin.
[playing fanfare]
[crowd exclaiming]
- Ooh.
- Oh, yeah!
- What arresting beauty.
- Look!
[Cho Su Li] Where is he?
She'll make a fine bride.
Too bad.
Too bad she'll be mine.
I'll win.
She'll be my wife,
once I'm finished.
Sorry, my friends.
I'm going to win.
Contestants, get ready.
[all grunting]
And start!
[all shouting]
Kick them.
[shouting]
Go!
[screaming]
[grumbling]
[shouting, struggling]
I told you we'd be late
carrying this flagpole.
Don't worry, these guys
can't keep us out.
[both] What do you want?
The girl.
- The kung fu contest.
- It's too late.
Am I?
[grunting]
Mmm.
[laughing]
Ooh!
[laughing]
[shouting]
Hello.
- Huh?
- Hey, there.
[groaning]
[screaming]
- Yeah.
- [men grunting]
'Bout time you made it.
- I'm sorry.
- [grunting]
Have you been waiting?
So long.
Bored yet?
[grunting]
Hey. Don't get thrown off.
Well, men, have
a nice ride down.
[screaming]
Are you ready?
I was hoping you were
going to ask me that.
All right.
[all shouting]
[audience exclaiming]
Good, huh?
Why, just amazing.
Huh?
I know.
You want me to jump.
[shouting]
- [all chattering]
- Whoo! Let's go.
Thanks.
What?
[gasps]
- [Sai Yuk] Hmm?
- What's the matter?
Can't you look me in the eye?
[grunting] Ready?
Hey, wait.
- I'm shocked.
- Wait a minute.
Come on.
Let me explain.
Have you gone crazy?
Didn't you think I'd
find out about this?
Well, yes, but there's
more to this than...
- I don't want to hear it.
- ...seems to be right now.
- I'm not going to listen.
- If you listen...
- I'm not!
- [grunting]
That might have hurt.
How about this?
[all exclaiming]
- Come on, settle down.
- I'm not done.
Be sensible.
I will not.
Why is she bothering us?
- Uh...
- I'll tell you why.
I'm his wife.
Don't believe it.
Oh, two can play at that.
All right.
Wait!
[both grunting]
[struggling]
Creep!
There must be a better way.
Let me at 'em.
Mom!
You asked for it.
Will you help me break this up?
- Who should I take?
- That one.
- Li, come on.
- Ting Ting, come on now.
Please, stop fighting.
He's doing a...
He doesn't love her.
- Trust me.
- I don't care.
Someone should have
mentioned something to me.
Hey, you wouldn't have
wanted him to do it.
- Come on now, Li.
- Let me go!
I'll make you into a slave.
Let me see you try it.
Come on now, please.
- Please!
- Let me go!
Hey, take it easy.
The minute he realizes
what kind of woman you are
he'll drop her
like an old habit.
- Whoa now!
- Why?
Well, it was for Mr. Chan.
All right, if you
don't care about her,
- then go slap her.
- I will.
Stop.
You want that box?
Huh?
All right, then I'll do it.
Wait, don't do it.
[gasping]
You keep your hands
away from Sai Yuk.
He loves me, not you.
Just ask him if
you don't believe me,
unless you're afraid to.
Hmm?
[sobbing]
Why won't you look at me?
- But...
- So?
I'll jump then.
[gasping] Come back!
[shouting]
[exclaiming]
Stop it! Why won't
you let me fall?
I won't. You're my wife.
I'm supposed to be
your only wife.
Sai Yuk, save me!
What?!
[gasping]
[Li] So strong,
just like you are in bed.
Mmm.
You took her to bed?
All right, let me loose
and I'll fall, OK?
What are you doing?
She's making it up.
Let me go!
Son, ready to catch an old lady?
[shouting]
Wait! My hands are full!
Someone else catch me.
[screaming]
Lei Ling!
[all exclaiming]
Oh, boy.
You better start running.
[all shouting]
- [Lei Ling groaning]
- Mmm.
Listen to me.
Try to understand.
Sai Yuk didn't want to do it.
Will you forgive us?
Liars.
[Lei Ling] I know
it wasn't fair to you.
Please, please forgive
him. Please!
Fong, I hope...
...you two will have a long
and happy life together
as husband and wife.
Hey!
Lei Ling, it's time
for me to go.
You understand, don't you, dear?
All rise, and greet
my new son-in-law.
My love.
Hmm. I want more.
All right!
I love you, Cho Su Li!
[sobbing]
The outside world
seems still and distant
to the wedded couple.
- Happiness holds them...
- [sobbing]
...in its tender embrace,
and finds only sweetness
and laughter as companions.
Ah.
As they embark on
their new life together...
Whoops. Huh?
...nothing,
nothing can...
Lei Ling, I don't want
to hear that right now.
Shall I sing a song instead?
I keep remembering...
...Sai Yuk reciting
those words to me.
What do you say?
Shall we?
What's your hurry?
I'll keep my end of the bargain
as long as you keep yours.
What do you really want?
Me or what's in your old box?
What? You know
I want the box.
- Take it then.
- [gasping]
[knocking] It's me.
Are you finished?
This way.
[guard] Halt!
Stop them!
You all seem to be in a rush.
Where do you think you're going?
- To eat.
- To church.
Is that so?
You used deception on us.
You fooled us to get
what you wanted.
Now, I'll take back the box,
that my daughter says
you stole from her.
Is that what she said?
Now how can that be?
- Why don't you ask her again?
- Enough of your fooling.
- Charge them!
- [all grunting]
Hey, don't come near us.
Or I'll kill the Mandarin.
[gasping]
Where did that thing
come from? Whoa!
It's done now.
You will give me the box.
Light it.
- Hey, Ma.
- Maybe he's bluffing.
- What's that?
- Is he wrong?
[Lei Ling] Then we
better start running.
OK, let's go.
- Mom? Where is she?
- Couldn't leave without you.
[Li] Stop.
Dad, if he dies, then I die.
You mean you'll take
your own life?
I... owe it to him.
- He's my husband.
- You slept with her?
Save it for some other time,
we're about to be shot.
Well, you decide.
- You can't!
- So, you will stop it now.
[grumbling]
[sighing]
Go away.
And do not return.
I'll lead. Now.
Come on, hurry.
Thank you.
[sobbing]
[whinnying]
All right. Ting Ting,
you take the box.
[shouting to horse]
Mom, I want you
to protect the box.
I will. You know you can
count on me, son.
After the woman.
[whinnying]
Ting Ting. Don't get
yourself caught.
I know.
Look out, Sai Yuk!
[whinnying]
Go, Sai Yuk. Go!
[panting]
[indistinct chatter]
- Ah.
- I knew it.
- There he is.
- Sure is.
That's right. I return
to you with the box.
It took longer than I thought,
but I brought it.
You have succeeded.
[grunting]
What?
- [grunting]
- You want it? Come and get it.
[Sai Yuk] Or would you
rather see it burn?
Ah. You want me
to destroy it,
so no one can learn the truth.
I must have been blind not
to see such an ambitious man,
intent on overthrowing
our Red Flower Society.
- That's what you're doing.
- Watch yourself.
Yun's dangerous.
So, you tricked me.
But I'm onto you.
I don't think you have
the box at all.
It's just a model,
a substitute, right?!
You're right, it's a model.
But the real box is safe,
and it will arrive soon.
Sai Yuk, you mean...
...that you don't have it?
No, do you know why?
Because they tried
to steal it from me.
Enough! You said
you would bring it.
This means you will
have to disable yourself.
- Sai Yuk, you don't belong.
- [Yun] You lost the wager.
- [crowd exclaiming]
- Let me talk.
Do you have it?
That's impossible.
Are you going to...
Did you bring it?
I'll have it.
It's safe.
Though I haven't
brought the box here.
Go on, do it.
You force me!
[shouting]
[panting]
- Sai Yuk.
- [chuckling]
He's defenseless now.
But if someone should
try to hurt him...
...I'll come after you.
[Chan] I'll kill you.
[panting]
[Lei Ling screaming] No!
[sobbing] What did he do to you?
Oh, no!
- Let me at him!
- Wait, stop and listen to me.
Will you?
Would you listen to me?
All his nerve endings
are intact.
We can bring his skill back.
- Do you mean it?
- Oh, yeah!
Sai Yuk.
Sai Yuk.
Ma, make sure he gets it.
Ah, so the box showed up.
Uh, Mr. Chan is
really the Emperor?
Emperor?
But that means trouble.
I'll destroy it
as soon as possible.
- Hey.
- What?
Don't you dare destroy it.
This will come in handy.
[woman] Li Dong,
open up, it's me.
I came to warn you all.
Yun and his men are on the way.
That's it. Faster.
All right, now hurry.
Let's get out of here.
- Have Fong read it.
- The book on nerve blocking.
- Thank you.
- They're here.
Make sure he reads it all.
Better get moving now. Go!
[indistinct chatter]
[man] Surround the house.
Company, halt!
Come out!
Fong Sai Yuk, your day has come.
He won't be needed.
[all laughing]
You know what?
This is your day to die.
I wouldn't be so sure about it.
Go get him!
[all shouting]
[chickens clucking]
Not too bad, eh?
Wait'll you see
my nerve blocking.
[grunting]
[clucking]
[screaming]
Here, why don't you take him.
I'm going back.
Can you help him?
- Please.
- I'll try.
- Who are you?
- We're getting married.
Please, take care of him.
- [groaning]
- Where is he?
- Talk!
- Go to hell.
Hey, are you all right?
Find him outside, men.
Go get him!
[screaming]
Dong. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, oh, my God.
[groaning]
No.
I must...
have been rusty.
It's been a while...
between fights.
[groaning]
[sobbing]
I should have...
[groaning]
I should have stayed out of it.
But you were so brave.
You saved me.
[sighing]
That would be the first time
I've saved anyone...
...in a while.
[groaning]
Oh, God.
Keep my... memory...
...alive.
Please.
Please.
I promise.
[sobbing]
I won't forget.
[crying]
[Yun] I believe...
...this is what you've
been looking for.
It tells me a great deal
about you.
The would-be Emperor.
You are powerless
without your followers.
We have laid waste to them...
[grunting]
...as I will to you.
Not yet.
Your fight with me is liable
to be your final fight.
Well, do you suppose...
...I'd come without my men?
Go ahead.
See what happens to your men.
- [men chattering]
- No, I can't.
Go ahead. What are you
trying to prove to us?
Once again, the leader
is now Yun.
You begin following me.
You have given me no option.
I will not allow men to die.
You have the advantage.
I will not permit
anymore suffering.
So now, our Society
is at your disposal.
Brethren, once again
the Yun family rules.
It was all worthwhile.
[laughing]
[man] All hail the Master.
[all] Hail, Master Yun.
Mr. Yun, sir.
What about the woman?
- Huh?
- There.
[groaning]
[laughing]
Ah, yes.
You always reminded me
of a mother hen.
Except that you look after
a flock of only one.
Let's see now.
I have something for you...
...mother hen!
[laughing]
[Yun] Get her! Get her!
You're nothing but
a meddling old woman!
[sighing]
[all laughing]
We'll see how many days
you survive.
[gasping]
Mom.
"The Art of Nerve Blocking."
Here you are, Sai Yuk.
Have you heard from my mother?
But it's been a month.
That can't be.
Who's there?
I've come about your godfather.
They're holding him prisoner.
- And my mother?
- It's bad.
She's barely surviving.
They've hung her in the square.
[grunting] Ma!
Sai Yuk, you must rest.
You can rely on the others
to help her now.
No, the others are mostly dead.
Those that have survived...
...are being held prisoner
with Mr. Chan.
Our army does not exist anymore.
There is no one left
to fight them, Mr. Fong.
- No one but you.
- [horse whinnying]
Your son is a coward.
He'll never show!
[grunting]
[choking]
[men chattering]
My mother,
where do you have her?
I will destroy anyone
who tries to stop me.
I will fight...
...with the guidance
of the heavens.
He can't possibly see us.
Kill him!
[screaming]
[men screaming]
You must all beware.
[shouting]
My movements
are guided by heaven.
[both groaning]
[screaming]
[shouting]
[shouting]
[groaning]
[grunting]
[shouting]
[men chattering]
[gasping]
[laughing]
Free my mother.
It's me that you want.
[Yun] Yes, it is you
that I want.
I want to see you die!
But first, I want to
watch you suffer.
Let her go then.
You can see that I
won't run from you.
That would make things too easy.
- Wouldn't it, now?
- All right, then.
[all screaming]
- [groaning]
- [Yun laughing]
[sighing]
[Yun shouting]
[shouting]
Oh, no!
[groaning]
[Yun] I can't wait
to watch your mother die.
And you with her.
[shouting]
[choking]
- [grunting]
- [choking]
[Yun] I think she's slipping.
Oh, no.
[Yun laughing]
Stay where you are!
The Society has a poor leader.
So, better get used to it.
Now!
[shouting]
Not another step.
Because I'll do it.
Sissy boy.
What's wrong? Can't find a way
to save your own mother?
[laughing]
- Come on!
- [grunting]
Fong Sai Yuk.
Still weak, aren't you?
Show me what's left
of your kung fu skills.
Come on. You can get up
and show him.
[exclaiming]
[growling]
No! We'll beat him together.
- All right.
- I'll kill you both!
- What now?
- Let's do it.
[shouting]
- He'll wear himself out.
- Yeah.
[shouting]
Come on!
Which one is the fatal nerve?
On the spine!
It's called the Stone Dragon,
and it works like this.
[grunting]
That's it. Good.
I guess I remembered.
[shouting]
All right!
[screaming]
- [all groaning]
- Mother.
Ah, whoa. That wasn't
so bad, was it, huh?
[both] At least
you can thank us now.
- Thanks.
- What are you doing here?
- What's going on?
- He shouldn't be up there.
Oh, he won't be
bothering anybody.
Well, thanks to us, right?
Let's go.
- Hmm?
- [exclaiming]
[horse whinnying]
[indistinct shouting]
[men] The troops are coming.
It's him.
Huh. It's our side.
[whinnying]
Sai Yuk, why don't you
return with us?
I can't. I've got to be
going my own way.
Too bad, the Society
will miss you.
[Lei Ling] Don't worry,
Mr. Chan.
If you need his assistance
for anything,
you'll have it.
Thank you so much.
It looks like you'll have
your hands full as it is.
- You said it.
- Uh-huh.
I want to give you
something nice.
But I really want for you
to have my gift now.
- Now!
- But listen.
Sai Yuk's grandfather
gave it to him
- when he was just a boy.
- Huh. He told me
the same thing
about this very one.
How could the both of us have...
I have so many of these things.
I'd like you to take one.
[gasping]
You're very kind.
How 'bout you?
[Lei Ling]
Would you like one?
I got about a million of 'em.
We should try
to talk more often.
[both] Sai Yuk!
Oh, my.
Uh, we'll see you later.
[both] Sai Yuk, slow down.
[whinnying]
I guess I'll see you later, huh?
[chuckling]
Best of luck.
[Ting Ting]
What a cheap trinket.
How many other girls
did you give them to?
[Li] I can't believe he
gave me the same present.
[all arguing]
