Original subtitles

Mr Cheung, but I am going to lead the northern expedition

You have to give me your support

Marshal Lo, take it easy

The money is for the man with popular support

That's me

Popularity is not decided in the ring

Mr Cheung, are you kidding me?

Baldy Lo, Mr Cheung is a learned man

Mind your words

Well, when all southern troops are under my command

Who will you give the money to? Me or someone else?

Marshal Lo, you are not the winner yet

What? Take a good look

You think that boy can win?

Ng Pak-lam Yes

Go down and tell Fu Jing-wan

I want that fool dead

If he won't do it

I'll go down myself to finish him off

Kill him, beat him hard until he can't get back on his feet

How shameless

Get down... you can't beat me

I can still fight

I'm fighting for the south for revolution

I may get killed but I won't go down or be like you

Bravo...

Why don't you kill him off?

It's about the state

Are you northerners sincere in the cooperation?

Now just kill him off

Tseung Sing, do it

Ip Man...

Wing-shing

Wing-shing...

Cashier Wah?

Your parents read in the newspaper

That Master Yu has been crippled

I am sent here to keep an eye on you

I am fine, you can go back

lp Man, judging from your performance today

I should prepare you a coffin

It's not your business

Hey... Ip Man...

You are a grownup now

But your temper has not changed a bit

What you did in the ring today

Was no different from your fight with Yim Chun-loi

I don't call this pride

I'd say you're sick

You are sick

You were beaten up like a punching bag today

What good did it do?

If you go back in the ring tomorrow

At least put on a better show

You are such a nag

lp Man, even a punching bag can use some strategy

You know kung fu?

I've been treated like a punching bag all my life

Like ten years ago you kids were running after me with a pair of scissors

wanting to cut my queue

No one knows more about being a punching bag than I do

Hey... I was there at the ringside today

Let me tell you

How can you duck this move?

Am I right?

I don't know kung fu

But I know how to dodge

You have a point

Even the blind can tell, but you can't

Use your head

I really don't want to take you home in a coffin

Tell me more, what other weaknesses have you seen?

You are making it difficult for me

I don't know martial arts

But I have a strategy

Catch me and I'll buy you a char siu bau

That's not the right way

Get up... catch me

Come on...

No, it's not right... get up

Dodge...

Come on... again

Come on... again

Get up

Young man, catch me... come on

If you are the underdog

The worst you can do is to plant your foot on the ground

Back then I kept running until you kids were tired out

Come catch me...

If Marshal Lo wins out in the contest

Do we have to give him our money?

Of course

I'd say Marshal Chu and Marshal Lo are two of a kind

It makes no difference

So long as they will do what we say and join the revolution

You're still dreaming of playing kingmaker?

Will men like Marshal Lo do others' bidding?

Then what should we do?

Come on, let's not fight

Brother Yam-tong, what do you think?

Gentlemen, the situation is volatile

It changes from day to day

But I think we should be firm in our stance

Now why are we here?

If you see it as business

Then Marshal Lo is the better bet

We should give him the money

But let's give it further thoughts

You came back to China

because you are Chinese

You want to save the country

Be it donations or doing your part

We are not after the greatest return

But the right path

If you ask me which is the right path

I can't give you a concrete answer

But I do know

Marshal Lo will only take us backward

We can't throw ourselves behind him

You tell us what to do We'll go your way

I have been following the combat and I am deeply moved

Not by the martial artistry of the Five Northern Tigers

But by the spirit exhibited by Master Yu and lp Man

This is the spirit our country needs

They were the underdogs

But they still went for it and wouldn't give up

Others may not agree with me or criticise me for it

I still insist on betting it on Marshal Chu

Alright, we got it

Please bear what I said in mind

Forgive me for not seeing you out

We bid you goodbye

Take care

Uncle

You overheard it

I agree with you on not siding with Marshal Lo

But I don't agree with you on betting on Marshal Chu

We have argued about this many times

Have you thought about it?

We have no others to bet on except Marshal Chu

There's no northern expedition without troops

Mr Sun Yat-sen failed because he had no troops

We are helping the KMT to set up a military academy

Really?

Marshal

Marshal, I've got news

Cheung Yam-tong means to bet on Marshal Chu

What nerve! That old fool

He wouldn't be treated kindly

Once I have conquered the country

He'll be the first to be shot! Old fool

Now I am hopping mad

You tell me, in what way am I inferior to that Chu guy?

Why does everyone keep saying I won't be true to the revolution?

So that Chu guy is?

He's such a hypocrite

He can't compare to me in anyway

They are all blind

Think up a way for me...

Marshal, I... I am a military man

I don't have tricks up my sleeves

What? You fool, get lost...

Just get lost

Get me another tea set

Come catch me, come on

Wing Chun footwork?

Gotcha!

Lp Man, what are you doing here?

Nothing

I thought you were gravely injured

So I am here to pay you a visit

But you are alive and well, you...

Zi, let's go

Hey, Wing-shing...

Wing-shing, hear me out...

The story is actually like this...

Men get lost... the woman stays

If none of you means to go

Then rest in peace here

Run

Get her! Chase!

Chase

This way

Lo Cheung-yee sent you?

Get Wing-shing out of here

lp Man, you... I...

Run

Run!

I'll go report it to the police

You go help lp Man

You be careful

Just go

Zi... no... don't...

Come on...

Zi, no... they're gone

Where's Wing-shing?

In the police station, she's safe

No, we have to check her out

Come on

You can't go in

This is a crime scene

What happened?

Don't ask, just leave

What about the lady who just came

We got beaten up because of her

She's been taken away

Mr Cheung, what brought you here?

You have changed your mind and mean to give me your support?

Marshal Lo, I never thought you would resort to such lowly means

Mr Cheung, I am not a cultured man

I can't read between the lines

My niece... has nothing to do with our investment

Please let her go

Mr Cheung, your darling niece is missing?

Marshal Lo, let's be frank

What are your terms?

Mr Cheung, actually...

I've always wanted a chance to work with you

It's not possible

Then I can't help you here

You could resort to such lowly means and harm a woman

You're not a man!

You'll reap what you sow!

So?

Marshal Lo, do some introspection

If you want to make it big You first have to have a big heart

You... come on over

Marshal

Come sit down

You sure are smart

You've even kept me in the dark

Marshal, I don't have his niece

Then who kidnapped her?

Indeed, who?

It's Heaven! Heaven is on my side

I was thinking of showing it to Cheung Yam-tong

Then Heaven helped me out

But Cheung Yam-tong refused to budge

He's playing tough only

He will come back before the day ends

You go find out who did it

We have to beat Cheung Yam-tong to it

Get me his niece

Yes

Just go

Dad, take it easy

I think if Marshal Lo is behind it

Then Sis is safe

Still, I won't give him my support

What?

Zi

Uncle, don't worry

We are going to dig into it and get Wing-shing back

Zi, let's go, come on

Dad, think up a way to get Sis back

I know what to do

Dad...

Zi, Uncle has his difficulties

I don't care

If anything should happen to Miss Cheung

everyone will turn my enemy

How are we to go about it?

To find someone's whereabouts in Canton Brother Lo is the person to go to

Come on

That Baldy Lo is a creep

I spared no efforts for him

But that Tseung Sing turned out to be his man

I am somebody

Don't worry, I'll pull all stops to take on him

But let me say this beforehand

Once it's done

You'll have to recommend me to Marshal Chu and Mr Cheung

Don't worry, that'll be done

I've had it figured out

Baldy Lo is doomed

I need another backer

Send your men to look for her

Alright...

Mentor

You tell everyone to drop what they are doing

And go look for Miss Cheung Wing-shing

Even if it means turning Canton upside down

Yes, Mentor

You guys come with me

Yes

Brother Lo said she should be here

Wing-shing should be inside

Hey

Ching-shan?

It's alright now, run, just run

Wing-shing

Wing-shing

Don't shoot...

Freeze

Don't shoot...

Freeze

We are here for the rescue

Squat

Stop it...

Round up all the suspects

Move it

Move it, get up, move it

All get up, move it

You alright?

Let me take you to the hospital

Your injury... It's alright

Have some water first

You see me home

You are still in danger

You are safest here in my place

I want to go home

You may not care about yourself

But you have to spare Mr Cheung a thought

For you, he had to go to that rascal Marshal Lo

Chief Secretary Lam, your papers

Put them on the desk Yes

You can call it a day Yes

Chief Secretary?

I forgot to tell you, I've been promoted

Congrats, you have climbed up another rung

You are mad? Mad?

You are mad, I am happy

It means you still have me in your heart

It means you are angry with me

Because I will marry Chu Mei-tung for my career

Ching-shan, I don't want the misunderstanding perpetuated

Believe me, you should know

that marrying Chu Mei-tung is a temporary measure

You are the one I love

You and I are well aware of that

Ching-shan, I'll side with you till the end of the world for the revolutionary cause

Again, I won't marry you even if the world ends

Why?

You are in love with lp Man that kid?

It has nothing to do with lp Man

Then why?

I have made it clear with you at the restaurant

I appreciate your revolutionary zeal

But I despise your unscrupulousness

What I've done...

You can save it, I know you

Hence I know it's not possible between us

I have to go back

Miss Ha, you have not written for some time

Let us talk about revolution

This reporter by the pen name Ha Kui is you

How did you know?

I just do

But you may not know who tipped you off on the warlords

It's you?

Who else but me?

It really is you?

Wing-shing, I was right about you

Your analysis of the situation was perceptive, an eye-opener

Wing-shing, like you

I hate the guts of the warlords

Now I have a scoop for you It will shake the whole country

and it's for you only

Tell us

I have said it many times

We were there for the rescue

Tell us

Rascal, you don't want to live?

Halt

Who are you? Step aside

You...

Halt

lp Man... you alright?

Does it hurt?

Lp Man, you...

Ip Man, please don't be mad with Brother Ching-shan

He didn't mean it

How's Wing-shing?

She's fine

In case Marshal Lo gets desperate

He has given her heavy protection

Have you found out who's behind it?

It's obvious, it must be Marshal Lo

He ordered the Five Northern Tigers and Fu Jing-wan to do it

Brother Fu? He's in it?

You think about it

Who else could kidnap her from the police station?

Who has the prowess except the five tigers and Fu Jing-wan?

Sir, what about a ride?

No, thanks

My charge is low and I am fast

I said "No". Now go away

Halt

Zi...

If I don't kill him he'll kill Miss Cheung

Calm down

You had Wing-shing kidnapped?

No

Zi, calm down, it's not him

Let them go

Come on

Zi, what now?

Zi, calm down... please...

Zi

Marshal Lo, greetings from Marshal Cheung

Greetings?

Why the salute?

Just drink with me on his behalf

Good

When you make it to the north

Marshal Cheung will drink to the fill with you

Good, but I'll have to drink on that seat

Marshal Lo, it's yours

No one can fight you there
