Shenmue the Animation (2022) s01e13 Episode Script

What the hell?
What is this?
That's far enough!
Another move and the kid gets it!
Wong!
Starting today, I work
under the great Lan Di!
Starting today, I work under the great Lan Di!
Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!
Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!
And this whole city will soon be groveling at my
feet! Cut it out! Get your hands off! Lemme go!
And this whole city will soon
be groveling at my feet!
And this whole city will soon be
groveling at my feet! Let go already!
That must be Lan Di.
Lan Di!
It's you the Hazuki boy.
You son of a bitch!
Ryo!
Don't you care what happens to this kid?!
Master Lan Di?
Come.
You have improved, somewhat.
Ryo!
Dumbass! Don't let him get you so wound up!
Enough!
There is nothing to be gained
by bringing harm to these people.
I will tell you what you want to know.
But first, put the child down.
Huh?
You don't give the orders
here! I'm not gonna-
Very well.
Release him.
Wong!
Ouch!
It's in Bailu Village.
Lan Di!
Quit it, man!
M-Master Lan Di?
B-b-but what about my total
domination over Hong Kong?
Hurry and clean up this mess.
It's a valuable opportunity
for you to show Master Lan Di
that you can do something useful.
You damn rats! I'm gonna squash
you all flat into the dirt!
Not good!
Guys!
C'mon! We're making a break for it!
Hear me?!
Watch out!
Make yourself scarce!
Lan Di!
Use your head, fool!
Snap out of it already!
Your obsession with revenge
is making you blind
to everything happening
right in front of you!
Becoming blind
Listen to me! You're not the only one
whose ass is on the line now!
Remember what you said? You can't stop
until you reach your goal, dammit!
I can't stop
So move!
Yeah you're right.
Thanks, man.
You guys make a break for it!
Okay!
Not so fast.
None of you are going anywhere.
Just leave the suits to me.
You go knock Dou Niu down a peg.
I'm sick and tired of dealing with
you goddamn annoying brats!
You can't beat me!
Ryo!
Oh no!
Damn it
Father what more must I do?
Ryo it's still not enough.
You are lacking. Keep that in mind.
A father does not show all
of his faces to his son.
I refuse to lead a young man like yourself
into such a lion's den.
If I were in your shoes
I'd do exactly the same.
Why do you practice the martial arts?
Like the stillness of the surface of water,
you must clear your mind.
Become free from distraction, and channel
your focus entirely on your mind itself.
Is there a problem?
You've got your eyes shut tight!
I guess that means you're ready to die!
Ryo?!
What's wrong?!
Wait, that technique
Burn in hell!
Sweet move!
He can master it.
Sorry, fellas. You'll need a few decades of
training to even come close to beating me!
I'm gonna wring the life right out of you!
Channel all of my focus
Die!
Entirely
on the mind!
Way to go!
He achieved the serenity
of a polished mirror.
Lan Di
We're not done.
Ren's Hideout
So Iwao died at the hands of Lan Di.
Fate is a cruel mistress indeed.
Please tell me. Why would
Lan Di kill my father?
For revenge.
Lan Di sought retribution for the death
of his own father, Sunming Zhao.
Do you remember Sunming Zhao?
Yes, he did mention that name.
Lan Di's real name is
actually Longsun Zhao.
He firmly believed that your father, Iwao
Hazuki, was the one who killed Sunming Zhao.
However, I do not know the
truth behind that accusation.
I see
Hey, gramps.
Tell us what the deal is with
the mirror that Ryo has.
Show him.
My father kept ahold of this mirror.
Oh! I know of it!
This mirror used to belong to Sunming Zhao.
This Phoenix Mirror is paired with
another known as the Dragon Mirror
and together they form a key.
The key to a massive fortune
of hidden treasures
that are intended to
revive the Qing Dynasty.
I knew it!
Nobody's got a better intuition
for this stuff than me!
Uh-huh, sure.
So, how can we get our
hands on this treasure? Hm?
Only by bringing both mirrors together
will the secret to that be revealed.
Okay, so Phoenix Mirror
alone doesn't do squat.
That's not the real problem here.
After all this, hardly any light
has been shed on the truth
surrounding the murder of Ryo's father.
You should go to Guilin.
Guilin?
That is the place where Sunming Zhao
and Iwao once underwent training together.
It is also home to the rare Phantom River
Stone, which was used to craft these mirrors.
The descendants of the craftsmen
should be living there, too.
Lan Di is making his way there now.
Lan Di?!
Back then
That's right. I told him about
Bailu Village in Guilin.
Bailu Village
Lan Di!
You've stopped touching it.
The cut on your cheek.
The answers should lie there.
Have faith in Iwao no, in your father.
Keep pursuing the truth.
I will!
Hey Ryo!
You're leaving, huh?
Don't go doing anything stupid.
Of course. I owe you both so much.
Thank you.
Bye for now!
Later.
Ryo will be okay. He's tougher than nails.
Yep.
We'll see him again someday.
Ryo!
How've you been, Fangmei?
Thanks for all your help.
So it's true you're
leaving Hong Kong soon.
Yes.
Well then, does that mean you've made
sense of the Master's teachings?
I'm not sure yet. That's
why I'm going to Guilin.
Good luck.
I've got it all figured out!
The reason why you gave
Ryo so much guidance was
because you had Master Xiuying
in mind the whole time!
You talk too much.
Hanhui, Fangmei. Thank you both so much.
She's waiting inside.
Go and see her.
Right.
So, you're choosing to leave.
And chase after Lan Di.
No.
I'm going after the truth.
Take this.
What is it?
I don't want you to end
up being like my brother.
A martial artist fueled by rage,
barreling toward his own destruction.
More than anything, I
hope you avoid that path.
To some extent, I understand
how your brother felt.
And deep down
I know that you do, as well.
I'm not going to die.
I'm certain that somewhere
your brother is alive too.
Thank you for everything.
Huh? Hey Mom
Did dad come to pay you a visit?
I guess sometimes
I should visit him myself.
Hey. What's with all the dumb looks?
Ren! Just look!
Come one, come all! Step
right up and be amazed!
I've got the best deals on
fresh bananas that you've ever seen!
It's first come, first served,
folks! Buy before they're gone!
Him? A salesman?
Has he totally lost his marbles?
Don't be stupid.
There's never been anybody in this town
with their head on straight to begin with.
Guilin, eh?
Sounds like a good time.
At Bailu Village
Bailu Village.
And this man, standing next to my father
He might be.
Yingshuihe River
I wasn't prepared for a downpour
According to the locals,
I need to pass through
the mountains on this path
to reach Bailu Village.
Seriously?!
Let the goat go! You'll drown!
No! He'll never make it without me!
Dammit!
There!
Father you were always
getting on my case.
Telling me that I'm "lacking".
Now, after meeting so many
people, it's finally hit me.
Maybe the thing I've been searching
for is whatever's "lacking".
That's why I've come so far.
Father
I'm not done. I'm going
to keep moving forward
Thank you for saving me. The
baby goat made it out, too.
My name is Shenhua. And you?
My name is Ryo. Ryo Hazuki.
Where am I?
Bailu Village.
Really?!
That tree
It's called the Shenmue tree.
It blooms those beautiful flowers
around this time every year.
That tree is like family to me.
I grew up with it.
And the flowers that bloom
on the Shenmue tree
They are called Shenhua.
Huh?
Yes. My namesake.
Ryo, let's go back inside.
Do you live here on your own, Shenhua?
No. I live together with my father.
My mother is gone.
I see.
I don't believe it!
What's the matter?
What is this diagram?
My father told me it's been passed down
in our family for many generations.
They match.
Ryo, where did you get that mirror?
It's something that my father had.
It's made of Phantom River Stone!
How on earth did it end up with you?
What's wrong?
There's a legend in our village.
Long ago, special mirrors were made from
Phantom River Stone at the
direct order of the Emperor.
But there were terrible
disputes over their ownership
due to the hidden powers they contained.
Many lost their lives.
My father may be able to tell you more.
Shenhua. Please take me
to meet your father.
Sure.
The door is ajar
What's on the inside?
I don't know. My father has
never allowed me inside.
This isn't normal. Something's wrong.
Shenhua, let's go in.
Shenhua!
A letter?
Dear Shenhua. My purpose is now fulfilled.
I have completed the Phoenix Mirror,
our family's life work.
Village lore has long spoken
of this fateful day.
Shenhua, my girl. Take the bearer of the
phoenix and undergo the trial of proof.
Then entrust yourself to him.
And go forth, together.
I bequeath to you our family heirloom,
the Sword of Seven Stars.
Think of me as the sword
and keep it by your side.
Know that I am watching over you, forever.
Ryo.
Okay.
Ryo.
Father
Coming across the sea, from a distant land
in the east, he shall appear.
A young man, unaware of his own strength.
A strength that can both destroy him,
and bring his dreams to fruition.
When he is ready, he shall seek me.
We will traverse this barren road together.
As it was written upon the
stars, from long, long ago.
A dragon will rise from the earth, conjuring
dark clouds to blot out the heavens.
A phoenix will descend from above, delivering
purple winds with a flap of its wings.
Yet even as the sky is
devoured by darkness,
a single morning star
radiates its bright light.
That long, winding tale
shall now
begin.
