Hello, I thought I'd never find you. Here

you are. Yes I am. They'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 off, and after the ride is

through, I could show you around the

city. No, 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 have an idea

of what you want to see, you just tell me

and then I'll show you, huhI sure would

like to see some temples. Oh, I'll

take you then. Uh, you're not scared?

No. This elephant likes me. You

hold on, OK?If I

slip, you'll catch me, won't you?We'd

best 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?

My folks were Buddhist too. Are

they with you now?No. They've

been dead a long time. Oh.

Come.

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 OK?

You like Thai boxing?Mm-hmmI'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?Yes,

he's a good friend of mine.

Here, this guy is Shi Tai Shan. He'll be

fighting shortly. Hello. Hello

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

old country. He's come to watch your

boxing. Hello there.

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

one?It must be their leader, Nai Lite.

So?

You'd better get a seat by the ringside

now. I've got to settle something.

Ah, 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?HuhLet's

wait until 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 my hung 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. Nayan will be the next

champ. Don't be sure. Hmm

Now go tell Nayan he's got to kill him.

You're both well acquainted with the

rules of the competition, and the first

man that breaks them will be qualified,

right?Okay.

Get him, get him!

Come on! Get him! Get him!

One, two.

One, two, three.

Tell him to make with that left hope.

Yeah, OK.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten.

Please go. Not

here.

Hey, what's this place for?It's for

incense.

Is this to your liking?

Yeah. I

kind of like the smell.

Don't

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 practicetogether.

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

the fingers. Any improvement?

I don't know. Show me some. Hmm

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 tusk today. No

kidding. Is that so?Let's

go look at it.

I'm afraid it's not a 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, huhHow about

these?Just pick one.

What a shame. I like that.

He's got taste, huhOnly likes the best.

Sure, sure

When you get some more, please keep one

for me. My friend wants to take some

ivory to Taiwan. Oh, right, rightAnd 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.

Uh,

is it male?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. And don't mention it.

I've heard it said that you're ready to

train for your third dan karate. Not so.

HuhWhat then?

Judo third, then. Karate fifth.

You know judo?Yes.

Hmm

Come. Show me, then.

Take it slow up.

Yes, sir.

Now all of you come here. Come on.

fantastic. That's wonderful. That's

wonderful. Come on, follow me.

Aye

Hey, wonderful. But there's something

about your style calls 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.

huh

Who are you, man?

May I just introduce Mr. Toupien to you?

He's been wanting to meet your master.

Oh, what the hell did you come for?

Our young master's 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.

Huh

Stop it!

Go!

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?Ah, Mr.

Dupien has come a very long way just to

see your brother. He's not here today,

but if he was here, hmph, you wouldn't

get away with this.

Brian.

What are you doing?

Now, when your brother gets here, if he

succeeds in beating me, I'll replace the

sign.

Go. Yes, Sir.

Goodbye.

ah Are

you getting on better, improving?

Or is it still hurting, huhI'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.

Come, come

Come.

You have this here.

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

Hey. Is something wrong, Ben?

No, no, noThe food brings back memories.

Ohh Hi there, hi.

What you got today then?What's it like?

Well, there you go. Let's have a little

more food. Oh, I've been busy, you know.

Hey, have a drink. There

you go. How you

doing?Yes, come on. Give it a drive. Good

stuff.

Hey, there you go. Some more food now.

Mm, great. Mm, yeah.

There. There we go.

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

drink and toast everybody, huhRight.

Cheers. Cheers. Come on. Come on

Come on, drink. Come on, drink up now.

All right, that's it.

Cheers. Cheers.

It's really very nice here, but

this room's too crowded.

Tomorrow night I'm inviting Miss Chow for

dinner and we'll meet in a private room.

Sure, sureWell, see you. Yeah. Bye.

Now, Miss Chow, Mr. Toupien invites you

for a little supper with him tonight. I

just hope you won't disappoint him. I'm

sorry, I will not go.

Don't be hasty, he's so powerful. I would

say that you're pretty luckyThat 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 a little swine. When my brother

comes, he will see to them.

My brother is more powerful than that

foreigner.

He'll show that crew. All of them.

Quickly, now. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Try the other side. Quickly.

Quickly. Come on, now.

Mr. Yao,

tell me, is it true Miss Chow hasn't come

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

here. Hey, hey,

you go see.

Hey, you go get her now.

Go go yourself. Sure, sure

Yeah, I'll go and get her now.

It's them. They're outside the door.

Shall I let them in?

I won't hide from them. Open.

Huh

Sister. Brother.

Brother. Sister. What is

happening?

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

again. Wonderful, wonderful.

Now you're back. Your pupils will beglad.

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

waiting for a long time now. The food is

cold, but his temper's getting hotter.

HuhTake 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?She refuses.

Refuses. Her brother is back

now, although he won't let her come. He

said that he said what?He said

that we should apologize to him.

What's that?King of

Boxers wants our apologies now.

That's her insult.

Are you the king of boxers?Umm You asked

to see me. Sure did.

You need to talk, Eza. No.

Right.

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 presented himself

and humbly apologize or he'll die. Sure,

sure, sureI will arrange it all

immediately. Yes, yes, sure.

Hey, go on. Go, go, go.

Goodbye. Hey, go on.

This may hurt in here.

UhYou fool. Quiet.

I'll go now. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Don't be too hasty. Heal

your wound and then you can think of

revenge. Listen, send Mr. Shao 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. His sister will

be completely at your mercy, right?

You get out. Go.

Here.

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, now do it. Yes, Sir.

Why didn't he come himself?Dupien is

still recovering. So he sent me and

Mr. Ciaoto 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

OK?Tell us what it's about.

The king of boxers is such a famous

fighter. You know that. Our master

admires his great skill and strength most

highly. This really gives highest honor

to us Chinese. You surely don't

think you are Chinese anymore.

I just hope that our king of boxes 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?I'll go and

see him. Now, I'd like to come too.

HuhYou really want to go with me?Mm-hmm

That's wonderful. I'll write and tell

Chow. You'd better not forget to.

Sorry, Miss Chow wants you. Right then.

Coming.

Sister, this is a good friend. Jesus

name. He's from Thailand.

Master! Look here.

Sister, see this. The 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.

HmmYou stay.

Come back early. Now you

must be careful. Don't worry.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Look,

here he comes.

Ah, no.

There. Noel, please drink up.

Huh

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yes. Come on. There you go.

Cheers.

No, huhCome, eat now. I'll

go first. Hey now, come

on, eat up. Hey, everybody serve our

guests here.

Yeah, thank you, thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah Cheers. Cheers. Yeah.

Oh, now then. Mr.

Dupien is very sorry about the fight.

He hopes... That he and I can now be

friends. But I'm ready to do that thing.

You're a far greater teacher than I will

ever be. I admire that very

much.

Hey, tell them to stop singing.

Hey, now be off.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank

you. Thank you, thank you. Thank

you.

Ah

They get in.

Who's done this thing?I couldn't say. I

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.

They're down here. Down here.

Let's go. All right. Come on.

Excuse me. Somebody wants you. Shall I

let him in?Bring him in here, Sir.

Master. Looks like he's here now.

Oh,

tell him what I want then. Sure.

Hey, you'd better stop practicing, Sir.

OK.

Uh,

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. Uh, 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 masters' minds then?So

many men have been killed here. How do

you explain it, though?Well, that'sright.

Mr. Toupien would like a complete

reconciliation. And there is one perfect

way. He and Miss Chao will become one and

to go back to Japan. Impossible. She'd

rather die first. Now then, don't be

such a fool. 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.

Shimei, 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?Yao told me Tupien

says he wants to take you back with him.

I think you better hide from him. No.

You know I can't go.

Well, 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.

These 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. Hmm

Hey, what do you want?Come to see

friends. Who?My good friend Chaopy Chang.

Hmm

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 from nothing.

I swear to you that blood's gonna flow.

You'll see revenge is here.

You just get 2PN 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 2PN off.

What matters now is that 2PN dies.

Brother.

Will you please tell Tupien that I'll

marry him after all?What?

But first, he must come

here and ask forgiveness on the altar.

News at last. 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. until the

quarrel will be over.

That sounds fine to me. Marriage is what

you wanted, and her demands are simple to

mourn as 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.

Come on. Come on

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.

We must all stay together from now on and

make a fresh life up north.
