Hello, I thought I'd never find you.

Here you are.

You're coming to have a ride.

I feel sure you'll enjoy it.

I might if I don't fall off. Don't

worry, the ground's soft. And after the

ride is through, I could show you around

the city. Oh,

but I couldn't impose. There's so much

to see. This place is so big, without a

guide with you, you could easily get

lost here. If you've an idea of what you

want to see, just tell me, and then I'll

show you.

I should like to see some temples.

Oh,

I'll take you then.

Uh,

you're not scared?

No.

This elephant likes me. You hold on,

okay?

If I slip, you'll catch me, won't you?

We just get started.

I'll take you to see

Thailand's folk dances.

Come.

Let's go this way.

Shall we start?

Are you a Buddhist, then? Mhm.

My folks were Buddhist, too.

Are they with you now? No.

They've been dead all this time. Oh.

Now then, we've seen temples. Is that

all you'd like to see then? No.

I would like to see Thai boxing.

Is that okay?

You like Thai boxing?

I'm afraid it's pretty brutal. You won't

be scared.

All right. I'll introduce you to

a Thai boxer then. You really know one?

He's a good friend of mine.

This guy She Tai Shan, he'll be fighting

shortly. Hello.

Tai Shan, this is Mr. Chow. He's from

the old country. He's come to watch you

boxing. Hello there.

Look, they're coming again. Who's that

one?

Must be their leader. I lead the show.

You'd better get a seat by the ringside

now.

I've got to settle something.

Seems like your girlfriend has come to

encourage you then.

How do you feel?

Has she inspired you with enough

confidence to win the fight then? Huh?

Let's wait till the fight's over and

then we'll know.

I just thought I'd bring you a little

present.

What's it for?

This is the big one. Lots of bets on.

The money's all on you. Could be we'd

lose a packet if you were to win today.

How's that affect my fighting?

That is very easy. Now you can make us

all rich by simply losing. You must let

Mai Han beat you. Drop dead.

I believe that the best should win.

Listen, if you throw the fight there's a

lot of money in for all of us. Shut up.

The only money I want is the money for

winning. I happen to believe I'll win. I

don't believe in cheating. I fight only

to win. So, get out.

Today you might not find that so easy.

You'll see. Mai Han will be the next

champ.

Don't be sure.

Now go tell Mai Han he's got to kill

him.

You both will abide by the rules of the

competition and the first man that

breaks them will be disqualified, all

right? Okay.

Tell him to make with that left hook.

Yeah, okay.

Hey

what's this place for?

Is this to your liking?

Yeah

Kind of like the smell

I'll move.

Good God.

Get out of here.

Tell me now, what's the name of your

method? In my school, we call it knife

style. Do you think I could learn it?

Yeah, it's not so difficult if you've

got the will. Tell me then, could you

teach it to me?

Could do, but practice is quite

strenuous, really. Oh, I don't mind.

Right then, we'll practice together.

>> You must be tired out now. It's hard on

the fingers. Any improvement? Uh,

yeah, I don't know.

Show me some. Hm, all right.

Come on.

Why don't you rest now?

Why don't we go somewhere?

Wouldn't you like to buy some ivory to

take home with you? Yeah. I saw a great

test today. No kidding.

Is that so? Let's go look at it.

I'm afraid it's not the material that I

like.

I'm sorry, maybe next time.

How much is this? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm

afraid this one's been sold.

How about these?

Have a look now.

How about these? Just pick one.

What a shame, I liked that.

He's got taste, Tao. He only likes the

best.

Sure, sure.

When you get some more,

please keep one for me. My friend wants

to take some ivory to Taiwan. All right,

right. And if you want, we'll get a big

one.

Your sister wants you to go home, you

know.

You should go.

I mean, who's looking after your

gymnasium now that you've gone?

It's too much for her all by herself.

Don't worry.

My brothers are there to take care of

things.

I'm not leaving yet till you've learned

the knife style properly.

So now you see, he just doesn't want to

go home yet.

I know that. He's mailed a letter to his

sister.

Is it mail?

Sure is.

There's a letter from Thailand just come

for you here.

This letter is from my brother. I bet it

says that he's not coming back for a

while. I know him very well.

When's he coming back then?

Very soon now. He says he's bringing a

friend back to stay with us in the

gymnasium for a while.

Here, you have a look.

That's right.

You really do speak our language very

well indeed. Thank you.

Thank you. Don't mention it.

I've heard it said that you are ready to

train for your third dan

karate. Not so.

What then?

Judo third dan, karate fifth.

You know judo?

Yes.

Show me then.

Take it slow.

Yes, sir.

Now all of you come here. Come on.

He's fantastic. That's wonderful. That's

wonderful. Come on, follow me.

Hey, wonderful.

But there's something about your style

close to mind the style of our own king

boxer. What's that?

I just said that you remind me of

another fellow called Chow. People here

give him the name of king boxer. For his

age,

he's a great boxer.

Where can I find him? In his gymnasium.

I will see him.

Who are you, man?

May I just introduce Mr. Du Pian to you.

He's been wanting to meet your master.

Oh, what the hell did you come for?

Our young master is in the home now.

Could this gentleman tell us what he

wants him for? We would like to see your

Chinese boxing.

Right then. I'll show you.

>> Just why are you fighting with him? Who

is this?

This young lady

is the king boxer's sister.

How are you, Miss Chow?

Just why did you bring him here?

Mr. Du Pian has come a very long way

just to see your brother. He's not here

today, but if he was here, hm, you

wouldn't get away with this.

Right.

What are you doing?

Now when your brother gets here,

if he sees him

beating me,

I'll replace the sign.

Go. Yes, sir.

Good night.

Are you getting on better? Improving? Or

is it still hurting? Huh?

I'm no good.

He's so impatient. I think he's

improving a lot. Just look at his hands

and you'll know.

You'd better rest now.

Have a snack. You're working too hard.

You have this here.

Glad you like it. It's from back home.

Hey

is something wrong then?

No no, no.

The food brings back memories.

Hey how are you?

All right, how are you? How are you?

Hey, what what you got today, huh?

What's the line?

Charlie, I'm here.

All right, there you go. All right.

All right, let's have a little more

food, huh?

Oh, I've been busy, you know.

Hey, come on.

Have a drink, huh?

Jeez, come on. Who let the dry stuff in

here?

Hey, there you go. Some more food down.

Mhm, yeah.

There. There you go.

Jeez.

Hey come on now. Come on let's have a

drink and toast everybody, huh? Hey.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers.

Come on. Come on. Drink. Come

on, drink up now.

All right, that's it.

Cheers.

All right, cheers.

Cheers.

Thanks.

All right, it's really very nice here.

But this room's too crowded.

Uh

tomorrow night, I'm inviting Miss Chow

to dinner, and we'll meet in a private

room. Sure. Sure.

Well, see you. Yeah, all right.

All right, goodbye.

>>

>> Now, Miss Chow, Mr. Du Pian invites you

for a little supper with him tonight. I

just hope you won't disappoint him.

>>

>> I'm sorry, I will not go. Uh

Don't be hasty. He's so powerful.

I would say that you're pretty lucky.

That man is influential.

When he likes a girl, she can have what

she likes.

She can have anything.

You could do yourself some good.

It's none of your business.

You just go.

What are these swine?

When my brother comes,

he will see to them.

My brother's more powerful than that

foreigner.

He'll show that crew, all of them.

Quickly now. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Try the other side, hey.

Quickly. Quickly, come on now.

Miss Du Yau.

Tell me, is it true Miss Chow hasn't

come yet? Yes, yes, but she's being

brought here.

Hey, hey, hey.

You go see him.

Hey. You go get her now.

You go yourself. Hey.

Sure. Sure. Yeah, I'll go and get her

now.

Stem,

they're outside the door.

Shall I let them in?

I won't hide from him.

Open.

Sister.

Sister.

What is happening?

Well now, so it's you. You're

back here again.

Uh wonderful, wonderful. Now you're

back, your pupils will be glad.

Miss Chow, Du Pian wants you. He's been

waiting for a long time now. The food is

cold,

but his temper's getting hotter.

Huh? back a message. She stays at home

with me, see?

If he will come tomorrow and defeat me

here, I'll buy his dinner.

Right you are, then.

And if I win, then he'll replace the

board that he broke today. You tell him

what I say.

Well, is she coming, then? Uh she

refuses.

Refuses? Uh her brother is back now.

Although he won't let her come. He said

that he He did what?

He said

uh that we should apologize to him.

What's that?

Uh King of Boxes

wants our apology now.

That's an insult.

Are you the King of Boxes? Mhm.

You have to see me, you all did.

We need to talk. Inside. No.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

There's no need to kill him.

I'll let you go now.

Should we ever meet again, I swear that

I'll kill you.

Now this He said

if he was defeated he'd buy a new

emblem. Make sure he does. He must

present it himself and humbly apologize.

Or he'll die. Sure, sure, sure. I will

arrange it all immediately.

Yes, yes, sure.

Hey, go on.

Go, go, go.

Goodbye.

This may hurt in here.

You fool. Quiet.

I'll go now.

Goodbye. Bye.

Don't be too hasty.

Heal your wound, then you can think of

revenge. Listen. Send Mr. Chow Tao. Let

him take the emblem back for you.

We Chinese have got an old saying. It's

better late than not at all. So, you

really must be patient.

Someday you'll annihilate the brother.

The sister will be completely at your

mercy, right?

You get up. Go.

What are your wishes? You say.

That guy will be hard to stop. We must

outwit him. That's not hard to see. And

how to go about it isn't hard.

If you don't deliver the new emblem just

as he says

he will just have to come here.

He must come alone.

All right.

I'll do it. Yes, sir.

To be honest, still recovering.

So, he's sent me and Mr. Chow Tao here

to apologize. I sincerely hope that

you'll forgive him. He wants to tell you

that he's sorry. So, he would like you

to have dinner with him tonight before

he leaves. Tonight be okay?

Tell us what it's about.

The King of Boxers is such a famous

fighter, you know that. Our master his

great skill and strength most highly.

This really gives highest honor to us

Chinese.

You surely don't think you are a Chinese

anymore.

I just hope that our King of Boxers will

still come and eat. I will let you know.

Thanks so much. I'll wrap it up for you

right away.

He'll be surprised to get such good

ivory. It's just what he searched for.

Now, what do you say? When will you take

it?

Master, I'll go and see him. Now, I'd

like to come, too. Huh?

You really want to go with me?

Mhm.

That's wonderful. I'll write and tell

Chow.

You'd better not forget, too.

Chow, Mr. Chow wants you. All right,

then.

Coming.

Sister This is a good friend. She's his

name. He's from Thailand.

Master

Look here.

Sister, see this? A Japanese invites me

to his place.

I wouldn't be too hasty. Before you go,

think of how he hates you. Right. You

hurt him badly and he asked you to dine.

I can't believe he'd be so forgiving.

I'm not blind, you know. I don't trust

him at all. But that doesn't mean I'm

afraid.

That's a bad place he's invited you to.

Please take care. You really mustn't

worry. We'll make it up. And after we

do, he won't be bothering us anymore at

all.

Master

You can't go alone. Let us go with you.

Mhm. You stay.

Come back early.

Now, you must be careful. Don't worry.

Goodbye.

Ah, come in. Welcome.

Okay, come on. Come on.

Line way against

Look.

Here he comes.

Gather.

No.

Now, help. Please, drink up.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you. Thank

Come on.

Yes. Come on. Drink up. Drink up.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hey. Hey, here.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hey, here. Put it over here. Yeah.

Hey, you. No, huh?

Come. Eat now.

I'll go first.

Hey, now. Come on. Eat up.

Hey, everybody serve our guest here.

Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh

Here.

Great.

Hey. Hey.

Yeah.

Uh cheers. Cheers. Yeah.

Oh.

How about that?

Mr. Dupain is very sorry about the

fight.

He hopes that he and I can now be

friends. But, I'm ready to do that

thing.

Cheers.

You're a far greater teacher than I will

ever be.

I admire that very much.

Hey. Tell them to stop singing.

Hey, nobody off.

Just

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Look at it.

Hold on this thing. I couldn't say. They

had a few drinks. An argument started

up, and they began to fight then.

He wiped out many good men. Most of our

men. Until finally

Mr. Wong, come and see us before too

long. We want to talk with you now. Head

down here. Down here.

Let's go. All right. Come on.

Excuse me, somebody wants to try and get

in here. Yeah, bring him in here.

Master.

Looks like he's here now.

Tell him what I want then. Sure.

Hey, you better stop practicing. Yes,

sir. Okay.

Ah, it's Mr. Wong. Sit down. No, thanks.

My master was killed here and we still

don't know why.

So, I expect you'd want to give us an

explanation. Ah, that simply isn't my

affair. You're sad to see cut short such

a promising career.

See here, we're just underlings. Can we

expect to know our master's minds then?

Huh? So many men have been killed here.

How do you explain it though?

Well, that's right.

Uh, Mr. Tu Pien would like a complete

reconciliation. And there is one perfect

way. He and Miss Chao will become one

and go back to Japan. Impossible. She'd

rather die first. Haha, now then, don't

be such a fool. Haha, or do you want

more bloodshed then?

To kill any more of the men would be

such a waste. If the families of those

who died decide to seek revenge, could

be your men would die for nothing.

Your empty threats don't scare us.

Hey, hey, hey, come back.

Please, don't be angry.

You'd best go back and talk this matter

over urgently with your mistress.

Ching Mei. Right now, you must stop

these tears. Now's the time for control.

I must tell you, today everybody's eyes

are on you.

What?

Yau told me Tu Pien says he wants to

take you back with him. I think you'd

better hide from him.

No.

You know I cannot go.

When is she coming then?

No, she's not. But we're keeping a close

watch on the gymnasium. She won't get

away.

That I promise you.

They're watching. We can't escape from

here.

His men are surrounding the house.

They will not get me to go out.

Right, this is it.

Just think how pleased he'll be. I can't

wait to see his face. I bet he doesn't

expect to see us. Mhm.

Hey, what do you want? Come to see

friends. Who? My good friend Cho Pi

Chang.

Mhm.

Watch him.

I see we've come too late then.

My good friend,

here's the ivory I promised you.

I got it after all.

But it's all for nothing.

I swear to you that blood's going to

flow. You'll see revenge is here.

You just get Tu Pien here then.

And I'll make sure that honor is

satisfied.

There are just too many men.

I'm afraid.

There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll

just use a knife style to finish Tu Pien

off.

What matters now is that Tu Pien dies.

Brother.

Will you please tell Tu Pien that I'll

marry him after all. What?

But first,

he must come here and ask forgiveness on

the altar.

She says she'll marry you after all, but

she wants a promise from you that you'll

come and pray on the altar now.

If you do that,

then she says she'll be your bride and

so the quarrel will be over.

Haha, that sounds fine to me. Marriage

is what you wanted. And her demands are

simple. Tomorrow on is usual.

Right. I'll do it then.

I'll go back now.

Master, no need to worry. We'll have

weapons there to protect you.

He's the one.

You swine, you. I'll take revenge on you

now. Before the altar, I'll make you pay

for your deed.

Come here and atone for what you've

done, then.

Ciao, my friend.

Your spirit can rest in peace.

I think we should leave here now. We

should get far away from this place of

death and sadness.

Don't let's wait a minute longer.

Surely, thank you.

I will be leaving here, too. Its

memories are too sad.

I suppose we'll say goodbye now, then.

No.

Let us all stay together from now on and

make a fresh life up north.
