Original subtitles

Did you nurse Bruce's health?

Yes, I massaged him. He's getting better.

He'll be fine, Master.

I was not calm.

It's good to teach him a lesson.

He won't listen to me even if I've taught him a lesson.

He's stubborn. He listens to nobody.

He only listens to what he thinks is right.

This boy, he'll end up either a hero, or a villain.

He'll become somebody anyway.

Zhongliang, how can we prevent him from getting into more trouble?

I went to Bruce's home this morning.

His parents were discussing about sending him overseas.

Bruce was born in the U.S.

His parents want to send him to San Francisco.

That'll be a good idea.

Master Shao has been living in the U.S. for years.

Now he's back.

You may visit him to discuss about it.

But, Master, where does Master Shao stay?

He stays at his old house.

Hasn't he sold his house?

I helped him sell it.

Now, the paperwork of transfer is not done yet,

and he doesn't want to stay at a hotel.

So he stays there. You may go now.

Okay. I'm leaving.

I'm coming.

I'll wait for you.

Xiaoman.

YUNG HWA MOTION PICTURE STUDIOS

Bruce, have you been waiting for long?

Not really.

The actor who plays Zhou Ping is really dumb.

He can never remember his lines.

The director will be satisfied if you try this role.

I knew it.

Are you making me give up on my pursuit of kung fu to go into acting?

To play a romantic role as your hubby?

Of course.

Xiaoman. My dad and my master don't want me to be their bodyguard.

I'll be yours then, taking you home everyday, all right?

-All right. -Go.

Bruce, hurry up.

Okay.

Wait! Wait!

Bruce!

Bruce!

Bruce! Wake up!

Bruce!

Wake up! Bruce!

Come! Hurry up!

Help!

Dad, Mom, Brother is back.

-Hurry. -You're back.

-Mom. -Where's Bruce?

Dad, Bruce had an accident.

Where is he now?

In the hospital.

Hospital.

Let's go to the hospital now.

Okay. Let's go.

-You stay here. -But--

-Stay here. -Take it.

I--

Master.

What's up, Zhongliang?

Master! Master!

Zhongliang, why are you back?

Master Shao went to the hospital.

What happened?

Bruce was hit by a car.

Go to the hospital right away. Let me know what's going on.

I'll prepare money. Hurry up.

-Yes. -Okay.

Master. I've finished off Bruce.

Good lad.

Good.

Where's the helmet?

I lost it.

You lost it?

A-Liang. You did something right.

You did it for our men.

I know.

But this matter.

Don't tell anyone.

A-Liang,

you'd better dress up.

Don't be so sloppy.

What if I find a woman for you,

will she like you?

Have you cleaned your room?

Master, I haven't had time.

See, what I said is in vain.

Master, I will clean it now.

Wait.

I'll ask someone to buy you a new suit.

I'm leaving, Master.

Mom.

I've asked the doctor.

Doctor said Bruce

is likely to suffer from concussion.

Bruce.

Mom.

Xiaoman,

Come, let me ask you something.

Last night, were you with Bruce alone?

How come you guys went to somewhere so remote?

I took up a role in a play. Bruce knew it.

He was worried that I came back too late,

so he picked me up.

I didn't know this would happen.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. This is not an accident.

It's not your fault.

It was really complicated.

Someone must have caused this accident.

Who?

I guess you've heard of it. Bruce has been helping some businessmen

to resist extortion.

You probably remember Mr. Li, the neighbor of your dad's shop

He died mysteriously because he didn't turn in the extortion fee.

So the gangsters want to kill Bruce?

The police will come over for an investigation.

Please recall everything you've seen

and report to the police.

We hope they will catch the thug.

Miss.

If you see that motorcyclist

who hit Bruce,

will you recognize him?

I was so worried about Bruce at that time

that I didn't see his face clearly.

He--

His helmet was knocked off from the collision.

He was bald,

probably with a scar.

I see.

Master, Bruce was sent to the hospital.

You've seen it?

I just came back from the hospital.

How is he?

His life is in danger.

Even if he survives,

he'll be paralyzed.

Master, your greatest threat,

is now cleared.

How can you say that?

In fact, he is your greatest threat.

Right, right, right.

I'm wrong.

He is a threat to us.

By the way,

has A-Liang found his helmet?

Not yet.

But if Bruce is paralyzed,

then no one will oppose us.

No pain no gain.

If the cops get the evidence, it'll be no big deal.

But if Master Ip gets it,

his disciples won't let A-Liang off.

If A-Liang is caught,

we then have to see what he says.

A-Ming.

What are we going to do about this?

Master, I'll listen to you.

I'd like to know what you think.

If we let A-Liang escape,

it'll be like giving ourselves away.

If he doesn't escape,

go on.

I don't know what to do.

A-Ming.

I've thought of letting you take over me.

But you are so indecisive

when it comes to such a minor issue.

How can I make you my successor?

If we kill A-Liang,

isn't it a little too heartless?

It depends on how you look at it.

If...

our interest is at stake...

and we don't sacrifice him. That's heartless.

A-Ming.

You're so indecisive.

How can I let you take my place in the future?

Master, you're saying we should kill A-Liang?

Is there no other way out?

Just do as you deem fit.

Do it as you said.

Young lad, it's your turn now.

I'll listen to you.

In the future...

you'll probably have to listen to me.

I'll listen

to whoever Master asks me to.

Send the clothes to A-Liang.

Master has said a dead man doesn't speak.

Got it.

I overestimated myself.

I thought even Wang Lichao was bold enough,

he won't take action as fast.

But I forgot that by affecting his livelihood,

Bruce is forcing him...

to a corner.

Master, I'll take some men with me

to get Wang the old thug out.

If there is no evidence,

neither we nor the police, can do anything.

Master. So we'll let the old thug go?

Hasn't the girl, Qin Xiaoman,

seen the motorcyclist?

I believe he must be Wang's man,

Bald A-Liang.

Wang is vicious.

He sent his gangsters to murder Bruce.

This shows how vicious this thug is.

I remember Bruce mentioned this Bald A-Liang.

Because he messed up Mr. Lee's theatre,

when Wang was apologizing to Bruce,

Wang poured hot water on A-Liang.

So,

it must be that Bald A-Liang.

Must be.

In that case,

you bring a few men.

Take A-Liang to somewhere

and question him.

He may confess.

-You may go now. -Okay.

You?

Master wants you to put on these new clothes.

He's a man of his words.

Put them on.

Why are you so anxious?

Come on, A-Liang.

Take a look at your new clothes.

Very good.

-How do I look? -Nice.

You look good in new clothes.

Now the best way is

to let Bruce leave Hong Kong as soon as possible.

That's right. I agree.

I've discussed with my wife.

We'd better send Bruce

to somewhere else soon.

Let's do it then.

Right.

Master.

Master.

The Bald A-Liang is dead.

What? He's dead?

This is A-Liang's salary.

Give that to his parents.

I never owe anyone.

A-Liang sacrificed for you,

not me.

Be clear to his parents.

From now on, everyone must remember

I, Wang Lichao never owe others.

Whatever you have done,

deal with it yourself.

Master, you're tired.

Please take a rest.

I'm mentally exhausted.

I'll take a trip to Taiwan.

I happen to have something to do over there.

I'll leave you to take care of the business here.

Master, do you want me to arrange everything for you?

Take a few men with you.

I-- I'll just take him.

You should know how to deal with everything here.

Yes, Master.

Have a good rest, Master.

Bruce.

He is conscious!

-Bruce. -Mom.

-Bruce. Bruce. -Mom. Why am I here?

What happened?

Don't be upset. I was just sleeping.

Did I get hit by a motorcycle?

Mom.

Does your head still hurt?

A little.

I'm fine. I was just sleeping.

I feel better.

Don't move.

How're you feeling now?

My hands and legs are a little stiff.

That's it. Look.

-Bruce, lie down. -Don't move.

I'm okay now. I'm fine.

Come. Lie down.

Don't move. It's the doctor's instructions.

It's okay.

This is something concerning the rest of your life.

Lie down.

I'm fine.

Haiquan is still not back yet. What happened?

-Dad. -You're back.

-Dad. -Have you found out anything?

-Dad. -Yes, I have.

To make a long story short,

it was Wang's man who hit Bruce.

We should report it to the police!

Yes. How can we? We can't do it now.

That Bald A-Liang who hit Bruce

has died mysteriously.

I think they wanted to silence the witness.

Oh, my God!

What shall we do then?

-Don't be anxious. Be patient. -What shall we do?

I've discussed with Uncle Shao and Master Ip.

Since they've lost their man,

the gangsters wouldn't let it go easily.

So I've decided

to send Bruce to the U.S. right away.

Right away?

Right.

But how?

I've discussed with Uncle Shao.

He'd take a ship with Bruce.

When Bruce has recovered,

they will go right away.

All of a sudden. We just let him go like this?

Can we think of another way?

Another way.

Mom.

Mom.

At a time like this, please don't cry.

This will be the best way to save Bruce.

Listen.

I know you love your son.

I also know,

you don't want him to suffer in a foreign country.

But you have to understand

that this will be the only choice

to save his life.

U.S.

U.S. is so far, so far.

Don't cry.

Peter.

Go to my room. Bring that little box here.

Listen.

I've been thinking of sending Bruce to the U.S.

Although, I didn't say anything.

But I've been thinking about it.

I've been worried about Bruce.

Bruce is stubborn.

He can't change his aggressive personality.

He's always creating troubles.

If he keeps doing this,

it'll do him no good.

So I've been thinking.

Can we find another way for our son?

I guess the best way is sending him to the U.S.

Since Uncle Shao is back,

I've discussed with him.

Don't worry.

Anyway,

Uncle Shao will take care of Bruce.

So we can put our minds at rest.

Right.

Uncle Shao will be with him.

I don't have to worry.

But still, it's a long journey.

When will he come back?

I have no other way.

Those thugs left me no choice.

Dad.

Here you are.

Come on.

What's this?

-This... -This is--

the money Bruce earned

for playing a role in a movie when he was a child.

Then I changed them...

into US dollars.

I was thinking,

if one day he goes to the U.S. to study,

he could use it.

As a proverb goes, being frugal at home but being luxurious while traveling.

Give it to Bruce.

I'm going to see Master Ip. I'm leaving now.

Wait. You're leaving now?

I haven't packed for him for his journey.

Just go ahead.

Well...

Ruhai!

Ruhai, I really appreciate it.

You and Master Ip have done too much.

It's all right.

No problem. Don't worry, Master Shao.

After we sell your belongings here,

we will send you the money.

Thank you.

-Let me ask you. Did you talk to Bruce? -Yes.

But I don't think we should tell him now.

Why not?

You can tell him when you get on board.

Ruhai.

We have to discuss how to get Bruce on board.

Master.

Bruce, are you getting better now?

I'm fine. What is it?

Look.

Your Senior

is going to Taiwan for a kung fu exchange.

It's urgent. I had no time to discuss with you.

I want you to go with him.

I'll talk to your parents.

All right. Master.

Remember, Bruce.

You'd better learn to control your emotions.

It'll be good for you.

-You'll also run into less trouble. -I'll bear in mind, Master.

You may go now.

I'm leaving, Master.

Zhongliang.

Bruce. Let's go.

Bruce. Hurry up!

-Hurry. -Senior, wait.

Why are we leaving for Taiwan all of a sudden?

Something's not right.

Don't ask me. You'll know it later.

Senior, but,

this ship is not going to Taiwan.

I just heard a guy saying,

he'd send a telegraph back when he arrived in San Francisco.

See, that's the guy.

Why is he saying that?

Nonsense. Just get on board.

Wait. Senior. They said in English that

they were going to San Francisco.

Sir, is this ship going to Taiwan?

No. it's going to San Francisco.

Senior. Come here.

It's not going to Taiwan. It's going to San Francisco.

Why are you and Master lying?

It's going to San Francisco.

Bruce, you know how frustrated I am. But I have no choice.

Our Master, Master Shao,

and your dad have agreed

to send you to San Francisco.

All the paperwork is done.

Why the U.S., all of a sudden?

What about my school?

I have a lot of things to settle.

Just get on board first.

No, I have to know the truth.

What has happened while I was in hospital?

Nothing. It's for your safety.

Do you know why you got into this accident?

Wang Lichao has been following you.

You're in danger every moment.

Today, Master Shao will go to the U.S. with you.

Just get on board. Hurry.

No, I can't.

I can't go like this.

I have to know the truth.

If I have to go, I'd go with dignity.

Bruce, don't be so willful.

-Get on board. -No, I won't.

Bruce, come back.

Where are you going? Bruce.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Take care.

Goodbye.

Take care.

-Goodbye. -Don't forget us.

Goodbye.

-I have to go. -Where's Bruce?

We've thought of everything.

But we forgot that he spoke good English.

He heard someone saying the ship was leaving for the U.S.

So he got onto a taxi and ran away.

We must find him!

Go!

Wang Lichao.

Bruce.

-Aren't you-- -Wang Lichao.

Tell me. Where is the motorcyclist who hit me?

Turn him in!

Bruce.

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you don't turn him in,

I won't let you leave this house.

You're doomed.

Get out, everyone.

Bruce.

I guess you've misunderstood me.

Come on. Let's have a talk inside.

Come in.

Come.

Don't come in without my permission.

Yes.

Come here.

Bruce, take it easy.

Let's talk.

Sure.

COURT OF BENEVOLENCE

Stop, Bruce.

Don't fight anymore.

Bruce, stop.

Check the time before you call the police.

Yes, Sir.

I'm sorry. It's really late now.

Who's that?

This is Wang Lichao.

Brother.

Doesn't sound like you.

What's wrong?

Please,

please arrest a thug for me.

All right. I see.

Not a big deal.

Let me know his name and address.

I'll arrest him...

before sunrise.

His name is Bruce Lee.

If I've put you in a difficult position,

I'll get my men to do it.

That's not a big deal.

I'll be honored to serve you.

Okay. It's a deal.

Action.

Target: Bruce Lee.

Remember...

let the police take action first, play it by ear.

Yes, sir.

Hurry.

Report!

Notify Team Three. Get ready.

Set off after 20 minutes.

The location is...

The suspect is Bruce Lee. Find out where he is in ten minutes.

Sir.

Any problem?

No. We'll get it done now.

Our boss was beaten up. It's humiliating.

He's just given an order.

Tonight, we're going to...

settle it.

Let the cops take action before we do anything. Got it?

Why don't we just give him a shot?

-Why wait for the cops? -You know nothing.

This shows how wise our boss is.

Get the cops involved.

We'll do it after.

They'll be responsible should anything happen. Got it?

-Got it. -Got everything?

-Ready? -Yes.

Go.

My God. You've brought trouble on yourself.

Dad, Mom, don't be so frightened.

I'm an adult now.

I'll be responsible for what I've done.

I'll surrender to the police.

Nonsense!

Surrender? Do you want to get yourself killed?

Look what you've done! Don't you know it?

We'd better wait for Master.

With his reputation, we'll be able to get help from his friends.

Bruce, if you would listen in the first place,

if you could get on board, you'll be safe.

If you've killed him, how can I live on?

Hello.

This is Lee Haiquan.

Yes, I'm listening.

All right. All right.

I got it. Thank you.

Has Wang died?

How is he?

He's not dead.

Peter, hurry up.

Send your son to his grandma.

Dad.

Bruce, seriously, why are you

messing around with your nephew at a time like this.

-Mom, we're leaving. -Gosh.

Hurry. Hurry.

Be careful.

The cops are coming right away.

Dad, I'm not afraid.
