    He's unbelievable!
[00:48] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Fei-Yan!
[00:49] FEIYAN
    I can't entrust her to anyone.
[00:52] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    I'll protect you.
[00:55] (Flashback) CAPTAIN 2
    Conduct a thorough search of the city!
[00:57] (Flashback) CAPTAIN 2
    We must acquire the List of Hope!
[01:02] (Flashback) GUISE

[03:46] FEIYAN
    Those who touch my fists don't

[03:54] KEN
    This is the Liu Family North Star Fist's...
[03:57] FEIYAN
    That's right.
[03:59] FEIYAN
    The origin of my style
    lies with the North Star.
[04:03] FEIYAN
    But its strength...
[04:05] FEIYAN
    exceeds the North Star's!
[04:09] FEIYAN
    You're mine!
[04:13] FEIYAN
    What?
[04:15] KEN
    You used the same technique twice.
[04:18] KEN
    You underestimate me.
[04:20] FEIYAN
    I see... With my style,
    my fingers are not fingers.
[04:26] FEIYAN
    They are sharp blades that cut
    the moment they touch you.
[04:30] FEIYAN
    And you stopped them!
[04:46] KEN
    Why don't you kick?
[04:49] KEN
    You have the advantage.
[04:52] FEIYAN
    You're waiting for the moment I kick.
[04:56] KEN
    Oh, you noticed?
[05:02] FEIYAN
    That's odd.
[05:04] FEIYAN
    Is he really after the List?
[05:09] KEN
    His techniques...
[05:12] KEN
    wouldn't have created those wounds.
[05:15] KEN
    So who was it that killed Guise?
[05:24] YULING
    This fight ends now.
[05:29] FEIYAN
    I don't know who you are,
    but I'll kill you if you interfere.
[05:35] YULING
    The List of Hope and the girl it's
    been entrusted to, Erika, are here.
[05:40] YULING
    Isn't defending them your job?
[05:43] YULING
    Should you be fighting here right now?
[05:46] FEIYAN
    How do you know about Erika?
[05:49] YULING
    We'll talk later. Stop the boat.
[05:53] YULING
    The German army is waiting
    for you on the bridge ahead.
[06:08] CAPTAIN 2
    Listen up. When they come
    under the bridge, jump aboard.
[06:13] CAPTAIN 2
    We must acquire the List
    of Hope for the Führer!
[06:21] ALL
    Yeah!
[06:23] CAPTAIN 2
    Yeah!
[06:24] ALL
    Yeah!
[06:26] CAPTAIN 2
    Yeah!
[06:27] ALL
    Yeah!
[06:29] CAPTAIN 2
    Yeah!
[06:30] ALL
    Yeah!
[06:32] CAPTAIN 2
    Yeah!
[06:32] ALL
    Yeah!
[06:35] YULING
    Let's hide here for a while
    and see how things go.
[06:39] FEIYAN
    So you don't work for the German army.
[06:43] KEN
    And you're not some dubious
    martial artist, either.
[06:49] YULING
    It was someone else who killed Guise.
[06:53] FEIYAN
    How do you know about that?
[06:56] FEIYAN
    And about Erika and the List?
[07:00] YULING
    Kitaoji-san told me.
[07:02] FEIYAN
    The Japanese man who hired me?
[07:05] YULING
    Yes.
[07:07] KEN
    What's the List of Hope?
[07:11] YULING
    A list of roughly 2,000 works of art belonging
[07:13] YULING
    to people persecuted by the Germans.
[07:15] YULING
    It's a catalog listing the
    whereabouts of the items.
[07:19] YULING
    Guise was attempting to use the
    catalog to create a safe haven.
[07:24] KEN
    So that's what he...
[07:28] (Flashback) GUISE
    I have things I need to do.
[07:34] YULING
    Guise was heading to Kitaoji-san's
    mansion to collect the List of Hope.
[07:40] KEN
    But he was killed on the way.
[07:45] FEIYAN
    Who killed him?
[07:48] YULING
    Kitaoji-san went after him,
    but he lost sight of him.
[07:58] SOLDIER
    They're not over here.
[08:13] CAPTAIN 2
    When are they going to get here?
[08:21] CAPTAIN 2
    Is it possible they noticed us?
[08:28] CAPTAIN 2
    We'll search along the river!
[08:36] YULING
    She's like an angel.
[08:41] YULING
    We must protect this girl
[08:44] YULING
    and the List in order to make
    Guise's dream come true.
[08:48] KEN
    I'll carry on my fallen pengyou's dream.
[08:53] FEIYAN
    "Pengyou"?
[08:56] FEIYAN
    You can't protect anything with a dream.
[08:58] FEIYAN
    You can only protect things with strength.
[09:05] ERIKA
    Mom...
[09:10] YULING
    You can protect lives with
    strength, but not hearts.
[09:16] FEIYAN
    But I still have to protect her.
[09:20] CAPTAIN 2
    Search the entire area!
[09:34] YULING
    They noticed sooner than we expected.
[09:37] KEN
    Look.
[09:43] YULING
    The French army?
[09:54] CAPTAIN 1
    Qu'est-ce que c'est?
[09:56] CAPTAIN 2
    What about kissing someone's ass?
[09:58] CAPTAIN 1
    Non, non, non. What are
    you outsiders doing here?
[10:03] CAPTAIN 2
    What? This isn't a French colony anymore.
[10:07] CAPTAIN 2
    You're the outsiders.
[10:09] CAPTAIN 1
    Shut up!
[10:11] CAPTAIN 1
    We're looking for the man
    who killed Colonel Guise!
[10:18] CAPTAIN 2
    Stop!
[10:23] CAPTAIN 2
    Oh, no!
[10:28] CAPTAIN 1
    Qu'est-ce... qu'est...
[10:34] CAPTAIN 2
    Why do you keep talking about kissing asses?!
[10:38] ALL
    Arrêtez!
[10:40] ALL
    Gehen Sie raus!
[10:50] YULING
    Let's run while we can.
[10:56] YULING
    When did they...
[11:20] KITAOJI
    Kasumi-kun, when you saved
    my life from some ruffians,
[11:26] KITAOJI
    I met Guang-Lin-kun, Yu-Ling-kun,
    and Colonel Guise.
[11:34] KITAOJI
    But now this...
[11:41] LUPING
    Kitaoji-san.
[11:55] YO
    Who's the bastard who killed Guise?
[12:00] KITAOJI
    Last night...
[12:03] KITAOJI
    while waiting for Colonel Guise
    to arrive at the mansion...
[12:11] (Flashback) KITAOJI
    That voice...
[12:18] (Flashback) YASAKA
    My god allows none who call themselves
    North Star users to live.
[12:23] (Flashback) GUISE
    Is this a North Star technique?
[12:27] (Flashback) GUISE
    No, something's different.
[12:30] (Flashback) YASAKA
    Don't compare me to them.
[12:34] (Flashback) GUISE
    What?
[12:36] (Flashback) GUISE
    Who do you work for?
[12:40] (Flashback) GUISE
    The government army? No, the Germans?
[12:45] (Flashback) YASAKA
    You're about to die.
[12:48] (Flashback) YASAKA
    There's no need for me to tell you!
[12:58] (Flashback) GUISE
    You're mine!
[13:02] (Flashback) GUISE
    What?!
[13:08] (Flashback) YASAKA
    You think a sword stands
    a chance against fists?
[13:14] (Flashback) GUISE
    In that case...
[13:32] (Flashback) YASAKA
    So this is the Sun Family North Star Fist.
[13:38] (Flashback) GUISE
    En garde!
[13:52] (Flashback) YASAKA
    Die, man of the Sun Family North Star Fist.
[13:59] (Flashback) KITAOJI
    Stop!
[14:00] (Flashback) YASAKA
    Back off!
[14:08] (Flashback) KITAOJI
    Colonel Guise...
[14:29] (Flashback) GUISE
    Ken...shiro...
[15:15] KITAOJI
    After that, I lost sight of the man.
[15:20] KITAOJI
    Then I contacted the
    French army and Yu-Ling-kun.
[15:27] YO
    Ken-san, is there a martial art that
    involves striking pressure points?
[15:31] YO
    One that glows, too?
[16:08] (Flashback) YULING
    You can protect lives with
    strength, but not hearts.
[16:17] FEIYAN
    Erika...
[16:30] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Damn it. I'm too late.
[16:47] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Hey, can you hear me?
[16:50] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    It's me, Liu Fei-Yan.
[16:52] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Do you know who I am?
[17:01] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    You finally came...
[17:05] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Was the List of Hope stolen?
[17:11] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    The list they took was fake.
[17:16] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    You defended the List with your lives?
[17:20] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    That catalog is hope itself.
[17:23] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    I'd rather die with dignity
    than hand it over to them.
[17:31] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Where is the real List?
[17:39] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    Right here...
[17:43] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    It's all inside this girl's head.
[17:52] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Mom.
[17:56] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    Please...
[17:58] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    Please protect our hope.
[18:03] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    My daughter.
[18:07] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
    Please protect Erika.
[18:21] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Why aren't you crying?
[18:23] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Your mother's dead.
[18:26] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Aren't you sad?
[18:29] (Flashback) ERIKA
    I won't cry.
[18:32] (Flashback) ERIKA
    I promised Mom...
[18:36] (Flashback) ERIKA
    that I wouldn't cry,
    no matter how hard things got.
[18:44] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Mom always said...
[18:47] (Flashback) ERIKA
    she loved my smile.
[18:57] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    I see.
[19:01] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Hey...
[19:03] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Your mom's lap is still warm.
[19:08] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Stay with her a little longer.
[19:22] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Tears...
[19:24] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Am I crying?
[19:29] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    I still had tears left in me?
[19:44] FEIYAN
    Erika.
[19:47] FEIYAN
    You brought tears to the dry eyes of
    the man they call the Death Bird Demon.
[19:54] FEIYAN
    What can I do for you?
[20:11] FEIYAN
    I'm running out of time.
