Episode 23

Mr. Bruce, I'd like to see this Kung Fu
you're talking about.

Could you show me a few moves?

Are you saying that,
you want to challenge my Kung Fu?

-Seeing is believing.
-C'mon Douglas, I don't think it's necessary.

It's okay George. If I can't prove myself
to him, I won't charge him $200/hour.

I hope you're right. 'Cause there's
something you don't know about me.

Oh, what is it?

I won the national fencing champion
six years ago.

-Oh....
-Better be careful.

Take out your sword and attack me.
Come on.

Bruce, take this.

Douglas, be ready for me okay?
Or else you'll be knocked out easily.

It's been a while since I used a sword,
but you still need to be careful.

Is that it? Is that it?

If you can hit me once.
I'll say your fencing is okay.

Alright.
Come on.

You dropped your sword sir.

Seems like, I really can't beat you.

Oh man, maybe I shouldn't
have used this one.

Don't use your magic on me.
Let's try again.

Hey, hey, hey. Didn't you see
how I kicked and used my fists?

When a cameraman film me with
high-speed cameras...

and play it in slow-motion.
Then they'll see my moves.

Alright. I'll fight you with my bare hands.

Watch out.

I knew what you want to do
before you attacked me.

That was not a powerful punch.

Oh, you're really amazing.

Come on, stand up.

-How was that?
-Did you see that Douglas?

-That's Bruce Lee's Chinese Kung Fu.
-That's really amazing.

I didn't even see how you attacked me.
It's like magic.

No, no, no. You're wrong Douglas.

It's not magic. It's Bruce Lee's
Chinese Kung Fu.

Okay, anyway I'll pay you $250/hour
to learn your Kung Fu.

No.

That's not enough.
Because of your arrogance...

I'll have to charge you $100 more.

And I won't take a penny less, okay?

Huh?

Oh....Okay Bruce. Alright.
I'll take it.

You're being insincere. That's wrong.
I'll have to charge you another $100 more.

I don't believe this!
Alright. It's a deal.

-Hi.
-We heard that Douglas is here.

Can we ask him some questions?
Can we go inside?

Uhmm. Mr. Douglas is here taking
Kung Fu lessons from my husband.

He's learning Chinese Kung Fu.

He's taking lessons in the backyard.

I don't think it's a convenient time
for him to be interviewed.

-Why not?
-Why not?

-When will he come out?
-Yeah.

Your husband Bruce Lee is the current
boxing champion, right?

-Is that true?
-Yes. But there's still a lot to learn.

So he keeps on studying.

Excuse me gentlemen.

Bruce, there are some reporters outside.
They want to come in.

Reporters? What do they want with me?

It's okay Bruce. Don't mind them.

There are always reporters and fans
whereever I go.

It's really a headache.

Mr. Douglas, seems like celebrities like
you also have a lot of problems.

-Can I let them in?
-No, you shouldn't.

Why shouldn't she?

Hollywood superstar Douglas learns
amazing Chinese Kung Fu from Bruce Lee.

You see that? We gotta let the media
know about this news.

May I then?

I don't mind.

Alright.

Don't worry. You'll be even more
popular from now on.

So you mean, as a master, I'm also
benefitting from my apprentice?

Sorry Mr. William. I'm really sorry.
I'm just so excited.

That's why I forgot to knock
before I came in.

It's alright. I was waiting for you.

Your rushing here tells me you have
a good script in your hands.

It's more than a good script.
Mr. Robert is a genius screenwriter.

He may not be aware, but this is
his best script ever.

Alright George.

I'll put it aside here for now.
But I'll read it when I have time.

Now I want to talk to you about who's
going to play the male lead in this movie.

What are you talking about?

Oh, Mr. William, Bruce Lee will be
a very good choice for the role.

Choosing him will not be a problem at all.

You honestly don't think it'll be a problem?

Of course. We've tailored the film
exclusively for Bruce Lee.

I'm telling you, Bruce Lee will be
a sure hit in front of the camera.

But have you considered whether the
American audience can accpet a Chinese lead?

-Of course I have.
-I hope you're right.

Look at this newspaper...

it says superstar Douglas has
become Bruce Lee's student.

-That's right.
-I'll regard this as warm up publicity.

That's good Mr. William,
so what's the next step?

As always, I have to read the script
before I decide on what's the next step.

That's great. Thank you Mr. William.
I have to go now. See you later. Bye.

It's a deal then.

Hi George.

You said we'd sign the contract
as soon as the script is finished.

It's been two weeks already.
Nothing's happened.

When are we going to sign that contract?

I handed over the script to my boss
two weeks ago.

But he hasn't called me back.

I'm more anxious than you.
But I have no choice except to wait.

Okay, okay, I get it.

Besides waiting for a miracle to happen,
what else can I do?

I mean, I can take more Hollywood
stars as my apprentices.

I can teach them twelve hours a day.

But that's not what I really want to do.

I came here to be the lead
in that movie "Kung Fu".

I know what you mean.

I'm confident no one else in Hollywood
has the ability to play that role.

Listen, as soon as there's any progress
I promise I'll call you immediately.

Be patient.

I'll wait then.

But I'm sure that, no other Hollywood
star can match my performance.

Okay, I know that.
Good night.

Good night.

What's the matter Bruce?

Is there a problem?

I don't know why.

I have a bad feeling about this.

George said we'd sign the contract.

And that should have happened by now.
I'm worried that they changed their mind.

If there's a problem, I'm sure
George would let you know.

You see, that's the problem.
I think George is lying.

He won't do that. I mean, George has
been very helpful to you.

Darling, I hope you're right.

Bruce, there's something I'm not
sure if I should say.

What is it? Tell me.

Listen to me okay?

Even if you don't get into Hollywood,
we can still live happily.

What do you mean?
Are you telling me to give up?

No. Just stop thinking about your
career in Hollywood.

I want you to relax, at least for a day.

Linda...

I'm alright. I believe something good
will happen. I promise.

Have Steve come to my office.
And Douglas too. Alright.

That's really good.

Douglas, you've made a lot
of progress.

You surprised me.
You improve really fast man.

Thank you. Now I'm pretty confident.
And my boss will be very happy.

Why is that?

I'm going to play the lead role in
a film titled "Kung Fu".

I've read the script. It's great.

Uh, are you okay?

Can you say that again?

I said, I'm going to star in a movie
called "Kung Fu".

The script is wonderful.
It really impressed me.

You said that you're going to play
the lead role in film called "Kung Fu"?

-Right?
-Yes.

Uh, soon in fact.

What's the matter with you?

-Bruce, what is it?
-They lied to me.

Bruce!

Bruce!

Bruce!

Oh my! What's up with him?

What did you tell him Douglas?

I really don't know what I said wrong.

I just told him I was going to star in
a film named "Kung Fu".

You shouldn't have told him about that.

I was only telling him about my work.

Oh, Bruce what brought you here?

What's wrong with you?
Are you crazy?

-Oh my goodness.
-You guys lied to me.

What are you saying?
I don't understand.

You tricked me into giving my ideas
to "Kung Fu".

And give lessons to Douglas.

So he can learn Kung Fu.

You obliviously lied to me.
You stole my idea for "Kung Fu".

But not only that.

Douglas paid me huge money
in exchange for my role in Kung Fu.

Which is why Douglas learned
martial arts.

So he'd be able to play the lead role.

How could you do this George!?

Bruce, calm down okay?
Would you like some coffee or whiskey?

I have excellent whiskey here.

I really don't understand
why you think I lied to you.

You said that I referred Douglas to
be your student so he can play the lead?

That can't be. It's impossible.

"Kung Fu" will have no other star
but Bruce Lee.

Rest assured.
I would never lie to you.

Please trust me Bruce.

Stop lying to me.

Then why did Douglas say he has
already received formal notice from your boss?

What else are you trying to hide
from me?

If that's the really the case,
then I'm in the dark just like you.

I'll take care of this.
C'mon have a drink first.

Oh my gosh! Can't you even calm
yourself down?

Where are you going?

Where do you think I'm going?

I'm going to my boss to find out the truth.
Where else can I go?

Douglas is messing things up.

-I have to get to the bottom of this.
-You better take me with you.

Let me go with you.

You're way too young. Bruce Lee,
your actions today really disappointed me.

I'm disappointed in all of you.

Fighting someone in the ring is very
different from dealing with Hollywood.

It's not about survival of the fittest.
Do you understand Bruce?

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't have time to tell you everything.

You'll understand in time.
Grow up Bruce Lee.

Hey George, are you leaving me alone
in your house?

You think I wanted you to barge into my house?
I didn't invite you to come.

You can stay here if you want.

Just do me a favor.
Close the door when you leave.

Hey!

I've told you right?
Profit is important.

I won't stake my money on a Chinese
martial artist.

I've decided to choose you to star
in the movie "Kung Fu"

after consulting the marketing team
and the director.

It's nothing personal Douglas.

Damn...

How can they cheat me?

You don't have to feel uneasy alright?

-What's the matter George?
-Hi there.

You've heard it George. I have no choice.
Don't blame me. It's not my fault.

Alright, William. What's happening here?
What's this news I've been hearing?

You've decided to have Douglas
take the place of Bruce Lee in the movie.

What's going on here?

What you heard is correct.

We did a lot of research, that's why
we've decided to choose Douglas.

How can you make such a decision?
You're not thinking of the consequences.

-That's insane.
-Hold on George.

Listen to me William. "Kung Fu" is a
Chinese martial arts film.

Didn't you read the script?
How can you replace him like that?

Of course I've read the script.

But I've never met Bruce Lee.
And we need box office guarantee.

So I've ask Robert to change the role
to an American who have learned Kung Fu.

Come on, George, just trust me.

Alright, alright.
Just do whatever you want to do.

All I'm saying is that Douglas is an
American movie star...

but he's not fit for the role.
This is a Chinese Kung Fu film.

That mean the hero should be Chinese.

In my opinion, you don't know
what you'r doing.

Of course I do. No matter what you say,
I've made up my mind.

We can always train Douglas.
He can learn Kung Fu.

Besides, he's a celebrity.

You should have confidence in him.
He'll do justice to the film.

Wait, wait. wait, you want Bruce Lee to
continue training Douglas?

-Yes, of course.
-So you're the one who plotted all this.

He never planned to let Bruce Lee
star in this film from the beginning.

Is that right? Tell me.
Tell me the truth.

We took everything into consideration.
We had to ensure profit.

As always. That's all you think about.
Always money, money.

I won't risk my money on a Chinese
who only knows martial arts.

That's my principle.

You are being very unfair to Bruce Lee.

And also to me!

I don't understand what you're saying.

You don't understand. You really don't.
Because you never tried to understand.

Look me in the eyes William!
Look at me! You're a lier.

From now on, I won't work with you again.

You got it? Never again.
Goodbye William.

Alright, I'm leaving now.

I really don't care if you leave.

That deceitful William.

He really pissed me off.

How can he be so unreasonable?

How do I explain to Bruce?

Bruce, how do I tell you this?
William cheated both of us.

Bruce, you have to believe me.

From the bottom of my heart,
I definitely wanted you to be the lead.

But I just can't find a way.

That's why I left. I left William and
his profit-hungry people.

What makes me angry is that I've
worked so hard on this project.

George, that's enough.

Everything is clear to me now.

You're clearly cheating and fooling me.

One!

Two!

One!

Stop right now!

Get out of my way.

Are you Bruce Lee?

I'm his assistant.

Then tell him to come out!

He's not here. What do you want?

He's not here!?

Bruce Lee, says that his
Jeet Kune Do is invincible.

Today, I'll show you Thai boxing.
We'll see how you fare.

See who's skill is superior.

How dare you stare us down?

You're nothing compared to Thai boxing.

Students of Bruce Lee!

We'll let you know what Thai boxing
really is.

Thai boxing is unique and the best
in the world!

Thai boxing has no equal!!

Do you know what I'm talking about?

What are you staring at?

You think I'm crazy?

You think I'm wrong?

I told you. Our Master is in Hollywood.
If you want to fight. I'm ready.

Ready?

Are you kidding?

You'll fight me?

I don't fight just anyone.

Okay, tell Bruce Lee, once his back,
he should be ready to fight.

Who was that?

Everyone, let's practice again.

Bruce...

release your anger.

Don't lock your feelings inside.

How can I let go of this that easily?

All I can say is, "Hollywood sucks
big time".

I guess it's really not a place
for Chinese.

Bruce...

let's go back to Oakland.

In Oakland, you have your school.

All your students are there.
They'll support you.

Hollywood isn't for me.

I regret that I came here.

We spent so much time and effort
for nothing.

This is all my fault.

It's all my fault.

We can go back to Oakland and continue
with your school.

No, no, no. Linda.
We won't go back.

William didn't choose me,
that's his mistake.

I know he'll regret it.

You know what? "A good horse, won't
come back for old grass".

I won't give up.

I'll strive hard and do everything I can.

Bruce, what do you mean a good horse
never go back for old grass?

If it's a smart horse and knows there's
grass behind it, why won't it come back?

I don't get it.

Okay, okay, it's really hard to explain.

The sentence I just mentioned to you...

is a Chinese saying.

You're an American Linda, that's
why you don't get it.

Are Chinese sayings, words of foolish
people?

We need money right now.

Why do we have to live in Hollywood,
in this house?

We're expecting our second child.

What are we going to feed our children?

Linda, relax okay?

Come on, sit down.

Have a seat honey.

Linda, please believe in me.

All the hardships we're experiencing now
is temporary.

Besides, I promise you that this would
lead us to success.

Linda, do you remember when I was
new to America...

and I wanted to open a Kung Fu school
in Seattle?

Didn't we struggle in the beginning?

But finally, I did it.

And it was a great success.

Just think about it. I let Americans
know who Bruce Lee is -

a world class martial artist. Now I want
Hollywood know who I am.

I want Hollywood to know that I Bruce Lee
is here and I'm not leaving.

Darling, dreams will always be dreams.

But we're living in reality.

We have to eat.
We have to raise our children.

I can't go back.

I won't.

Who says that a Chinese movie star won't
emerge from American film industry?

Chinese movie stars will shine
just like American movie stars.

And I Bruce Lee will be the first one.

Linda, for now, we have to admit and
accept the hardships we're going through.

Linda, do you have confidence in me?

I can stick with you through hard times.

Since you're so determined,
I won't say anything more.

I know you're right.

I remember you said that Chinese
shouldn't complain about their fate.

They just have to prove themselves.

Bruce, I know you're strong.

The thing is... we're broke.

Trust me. I'll find a way outta this.

We'll be living a good life soon.

Trust me. Okay?

Remember Linda, no one can defeat me.

Bruce Lee.

Bruce.

Don't worry Linda.

We can get through this.

I know we can.

I believe in you.

Papa will show you something great.

Let me! Let me! Let me!

Fun, right? Huh.

Here.

Hey...

Professor Ino. You came.

Uncle Chao called me. Said that you
wanted me to come to Hollywood.

This thing is, it's too late now.

I wanted to use nunchaku in "Kung Fu".

That's why I asked you to come.
But now...

the film's been cancelled.

Thanks for coming anyway.

Linda told me about that.

Don't feel bad. Bruce, when are
you going back to Oakland?

Hollywood is my only target.
I won't leave before I get in.

You don't plan to go back?

Come.

Hey Brandon.

Bruce...

I forgot to tell you.

There was a guy that came to
challenge you at the school.

Alright.

[Los Angeles airport]

Linda, don't worry.
I'll deal with this guy.

Go on.

Don't worry.

Come on.

Hey, it's okay.

He'll be fine.

Hidden weapons.

Get up!

Be a good citizen.

Put away your weapons.

Go!

Linda, let's go back to Hollywood.

Bruce, now that you're famous, more
people have enrolled in the school.

We're very stable now.

That's good.

Problem is, more people want to
challenge you.

Professor Ino, you have to believe me.

One day, my name will be remembered
in Hollywood.

By then, I'll let the world witness
a legend...

created by Chinese movies.

Chinese Kung Fu films...

will be the best in the world.

Bruce, I'm sure,

that'll happen.

When that happens, I want you, Kimura,
Uncle Chao and Jesse to help me on set.

I know we'll be capable of creating the
most exciting Kung Fu scenes ever.

Shut up!

What was that?

I said shut up you pig.

Hey, hey, hey.

Stop it alright?

Please go back.

-Get away.
-Hey.

You have to apologize.

Or I'll break your nose.

Come on.

Oh my goodness.

What's happening?

Who's making trouble here?

-Waiter, call the police.
-Okay.

Bruce, he has a gun!

Freeze! Get down.

You, get down. Don't move.

Chief, Mr. Lee is here.

Hello Mr. Lee.

I'm Police Chief Jerry Osmond.

Our officers said you had some great
fighting techniques. Could I see?

Sorry but, I just want to go home.

I don't want to stay here,
not for another minute.

Excuse me, and this is...?

-Hello.
-This is Professor Inosanto.

Nice to meet you.

Criminals hate this place. A lot.

But for you that shouldn't be the case.

I wanted to formally thank you.

Because of you we were able to catch
a main drug ring member.

I'll report this to the Commissioner.

I'm sure he'll reward you.

Sure, I'll be glad to accept it.

Would you also be willing to show
me your magic?

Excuse me Chief, my friend Bruce
didn't use any magic.

What he used is called "nunchaku".

I don't think I've heard of it before.

Actually, Prof. Ino is the "Nunchaku King"
of the Philippines.

He also helps me practice nunchaku.

Chief, you can ask him to show you
his skills.

Hmm?

No, no, no. I'm sorry, but I'm really
not in the mood.

Excuse me sir.

Oh Mr. Lee, I just got word from my
counterpart in Seattle, Chief Rice.

And he says in this fax that you're a
great martial artist,

and you helped the police in Seattle
as well.

It seems that your coming here is a
most fortunate event.

Thank you Chief. Can I go home now?

Certainly, Mr. Lee.

I can dispach a car to take you home.

But my officers really want to see
your magical kung fu.

Would you demonstrate please?

So you mean, your men want to
see my kung fu?

If you want, I can pay you
to train the officers.

If the price is right, I can consider
training your officers.

Okay then, that's great.

This is great news
for the LA police department.

That's great! He's amazing.

-Alright.
-This is called nunchaku.

It's amazing.

Alright.

Here sir.

Uh Bruce...

If I ddin't see it with my own eyes...

I wouldn't believe it.

Now, as the Chief of the LA police...

I would like to formally invite you
to train the police officers.

We'll equip each LAPD officer with this
nunchaku from now on.

I think it's better than the baton.

Wait a sec Chief, do you know how much
I charge the Hollywood star Douglas?

-No, how much was it?
-$300 per hour.

So Mr. Lee, you'll charge the police
the same rate for your lessons?

Of course Chief.
And I'll charge you more.

Because I'll be teaching all of them.

I'll charge you $400 per hour.
Okay Chief?

You're expensive, but I think you're worth it.

Attention everyone.

Place your hand in the middle of the
nunchaku.

Then wield it forward.

Like this.

Then pull it back.

Forehand then backhand.

Follow me. Left. Right.

It's hard.

Okay, let's welcome professor Ino
to help demonstrate.

I'll try to control his nunchaku.

First, lock his nunchaku, then left
and right.

You got that?

Watch carefully.

-Like this.
-See, I won't be able to move.

You got all that?

Okay, let's do it again.

See that?

Try to be careful.
Don't hurt yourself.

-Bruce!
-Bruce!

Ma.

Bruce.

-Ma.
-Ah, Bruce.

Oh, you're back.

Ma, this is Linda. This is Brandon.

Hello. Hi there.

Say hi to Grandma.

Oh come here baby.

Oh, he's so cute.

Let me hold him.

-Oh he's heavy.
-Careful!

Come here Brandon.

Bruce...

Since Linda loves you so much. And
my grandson looks healthy and well.

Then I guess I can put my heart at
ease now.

Ma, just relax.

I'm so glad that you were able to
marry a good wife.

Linda, come with me.
I'll show you the house.

Okay. Bye.

Hi! Bye!

Come here son.

Let me.

Baby, baby.

Bruce, you better eat now.
You still need to visit Master Ye.

Bruce, why do you look
a little troubled?

Yeah, later you should visit Master Ye.

I'm sure he'll be glad to see you.

Glad? I think it's going to be the opposite.

Bruce, I heard after Wang Yunsheng
returned, he badmouthed you a lot.

What are you talking about.

Excuse me.

Bruce...

Don't think about that. You should visit
Master Ye in any case.

That way you can talk to him properly.

Master.

Zhongliang.

Bruce, sit.

Since we're celebrating, why not call the
students, come join us and have a drink.

Okay, right away Master.

Bruce...

tell me about your life in America.

I just get by....
