[00:05] ---
    Bailu Village, Guilin
[00:09] ---
    Coming across the sea, from a distant land
    in the east, he shall appear.
[00:16] ---
    A young man, unaware of his own strength.
[00:21] ---
    Hey, Shenhua!
[00:22] ---
    A strength that can both destroy him...
[00:25] ---
    Shenhua?
[00:26] ---
    Him... a young man...
[00:31] ---
    A poem?
[00:33] ---
    Yes. One of the village's oldest.
[00:36] ---
    Oh, I know that one!
[00:38] ---
    "Coming across the sea, from a distant land
    in the east, he shall appear."
[00:43] ---
    That one, yeah?
[00:44] ---
    Yes, but who is "he"?
[00:46] ---
    The children asked me to tell them.
[00:48] ---
    How should I know?
[00:50] ---
    Right...
[00:53] ---
    W-well, whoever this guy
    is, he must be pretty weird
[00:57] ---
    to cross the sea just to
    visit our little village!
[01:01] ---
    Oh, by the way! I wanted to let you know,
[01:03] ---
    a nearby village is holding
    a night festival soon.
[01:06] ---
    Want to round everybody up and go?
[02:45] ---
    Charlie got his ass whooped?
    Who was it, the Chens again?
[02:49] ---
    No. It wasn't the Chens.
[02:52] ---
    Just some little punk that
    thinks he can mess with us.
[02:56] ---
    Kid's got balls.
[02:58] ---
    And here I thought the Chens
    were the only ones left
[03:01] ---
    actually crazy enough to
    challenge us Mad Angels...
[03:07] ---
    Yokosuka Appreciation Sale
[03:10] ---
    Visit the pottery store
    in the shopping district.
[03:13] ---
    I believe the owner there can read
    all forms of Chinese, both new and old.
[03:18] ---
    Russiya
    China Shop
[03:24] ---
    Hey, mister!
[03:26] ---
    You're that kid.
[03:27] ---
    I'm Gaowen!
[03:29] ---
    Thanks for saving me the other day.
[03:31] ---
    So, mister, why are you here at our house?
[03:35] ---
    Huh?
[03:37] ---
    Grandma!
[03:40] ---
    What is it, Gaowen?
[03:42] ---
    Oh, who is this?
[03:44] ---
    He's the guy who helped me the other day!
[03:47] ---
    Well, thank you for your kindness.
    It's much appreciated.
[03:52] ---
    Uh, no, it was noth-
[03:53] ---
    He said he's here to see you about something!
[03:57] ---
    I was hoping you could
    read this letter for me...
[04:03] ---
    These are mirror characters.
[04:06] ---
    "Mirror characters"?
[04:07] ---
    Yes, they have a rather distinct style.
[04:12] ---
    It says, "Beware those coming.
    They seek the mirror"
[04:16] ---
    And also, to "contact Master Chen for help
    if the situation gets dire."
[04:21] ---
    Signed, "Yuanda Zhu."
[04:23] ---
    There's another note on the back.
[04:26] ---
    "Father Sky, Nine Dragons,
    Mother Earth, Common Allies."
[04:33] ---
    I'm sorry, I'm not sure what it means.
[04:35] ---
    I see...
[04:37] ---
    But I think this might be a phone number.
[04:41] ---
    These are numbers in an old script.
[04:44] ---
    Zero, four, six...
[04:47] ---
    TOBACCO SHOP
[04:51] ---
    Hello?
[04:53] ---
    Father Sky.
[04:54] ---
    "Father Sky"?
[04:57] ---
    Nine Dragons.
[04:58] ---
    Mother Earth.
[04:59] ---
    Common Allies.
[05:00] ---
    Warehouse number 8.
[05:02] ---
    "Warehouse number 8"?
[05:04] ---
    Who is this?!
[05:05] ---
    Um... is this the Chen residence?
[05:11] ---
    Is something the matter?
[05:12] ---
    No, I'm fine. I just can't figure
    out whose number this is...
[05:16] ---
    You could try dialing the help line, 104.
[05:19] ---
    104...
[05:21] ---
    Yokosuka Port Loop
    Bus 604
[05:28] ---
    That number is registered to
    the warehouse district in Amihama.
[05:36] ---
    I... I'm broke, I swear!
[05:39] ---
    Huh? Broke?
[05:41] ---
    Don't give me that bullshit!
[05:43] ---
    Please just let me go!
[05:45] ---
    Cut it out.
[05:46] ---
    Huh?
[05:47] ---
    Who the hell are you?
[05:49] ---
    Mugging is uncool, guys. It's out of style
[05:52] ---
    You're that guy!
[05:54] ---
    From Yokosuka High!
[05:55] ---
    So what if I am?
[05:57] ---
    You're free to go.
[05:59] ---
    Th-thank you!
[06:02] ---
    Don't be such wusses!
[06:05] ---
    This punk ain't gonna get the better of us!
[06:19] ---
    H-holy shit!
[06:20] ---
    Let's get outta here!
[06:21] ---
    Ow, ow... Damn, you're good.
[06:24] ---
    I've got a question for you.
[06:25] ---
    Uh, yessir! What can I do for you?
[06:28] ---
    Do you know the way to warehouse number 8?
[06:31] ---
    Yessir! That a-way!
[06:33] ---
    Got it.
[06:34] ---
    U-um...
[06:36] ---
    Most of the security guards
    there get off at 7, just so you know.
[06:44] ---
    Guard House
[06:59] ---
    Hello, this is the guard house.
[07:02] ---
    Oh, how's it going?
[07:04] ---
    Must be nice getting duty at the park...
[07:13] ---
    Jiu Feng Co.
[07:18] ---
    My apologies for the uncivilized reception.
[07:22] ---
    Guizhang.
[07:33] ---
    I presume you were the one who called?
[07:36] ---
    My name is Ryo Hazuki. I have
    a letter from Yuanda Zhu.
[07:41] ---
    Yuanda Zhu...!
[07:43] ---
    The letter directed me to
    find you if I needed help.
[07:50] ---
    No mistake, this is Yuanda's handwriting.
[07:54] ---
    What can you tell me about him?
[07:56] ---
    He is an old friend of mine
    who lives in Hong Kong.
[07:58] ---
    And quite a well-known figure in our world.
[08:03] ---
    Why would someone like him know my father?
[08:06] ---
    Some time ago, a precious mirror was transported
    across China's borders by a Japanese.
[08:11] ---
    Apparently, Yuanda Zhu acted
    as the facilitator in all of that.
[08:16] ---
    And if your father has
    some connection to that mirror, then...
[08:20] ---
    A mirror!
[08:23] ---
    It must be the one that man took with him...
[08:25] ---
    What man?
[08:27] ---
    The man who killed my father.
    Someone named Lan Di.
[08:30] ---
    Lan Di...
[08:32] ---
    Have you heard of him?
[08:34] ---
    Nothing more than rumors. But it would seem
    that his reach has extended far...
[08:39] ---
    Can you at least tell me what you know?
[08:44] ---
    Are you familiar with the Chi You Men cartel?
[08:48] ---
    It's one of China's most powerful
    and ever-expanding underground networks.
[08:52] ---
    Some predict they will subsume
    the entirety of China one day.
[08:56] ---
    Xuhe Hall
[08:57] ---
    Supposedly, Lan Di is one
    of the cartel's executives,
[09:00] ---
    and master of a particularly
    dreadful form of martial arts.
[09:06] ---
    B-believe me! I know nothing
    of the mirror! Honest!
[09:12] ---
    Stop.
[09:17] ---
    Just tell me what you know. Now.
[09:21] ---
    A-all I know is that a treasure was
    taken from China by someone Japanese!
[09:27] ---
    I heard that he had an accomplice.
[09:31] ---
    What is his name?
[09:34] ---
    Yuanda... Zhu...
[09:37] ---
    Yuanda Zhu...
[09:41] ---
    Lan Di...
[09:43] ---
    Father, do you think Lan Di
    also seeks the phoenix mirror?
[09:46] ---
    We have a guest. Maintain
    proper forms of address.
[09:50] ---
    I'm sorry.
[09:51] ---
    Did you just say "phoenix mirror"?
[09:53] ---
    Was only a single mirror was stolen?
[09:56] ---
    Yes.
[09:57] ---
    One with a dragon that was sculpted in stone.
[10:02] ---
    Then, another mirror yet remains.
[10:05] ---
    One that depicts the phoenix, the
    bird spoken of in Chinese legend
[10:09] ---
    that is known to command life itself.
[10:11] ---
    It seems safe to assume that
    Lan Di covets both of the mirrors.
[10:15] ---
    Okay, then I'll work on
    finding the phoenix mirror.
[10:26] ---
    ON PATROL
[10:44] ---
    I don't see why you should
    help that teenager.
[10:47] ---
    I have no choice. It is
    what Zhu requested of me.
[10:52] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[10:53] ---
    If we help him, it would mean
    antagonizing the Chi You Men.
[10:56] ---
    And that's on top of the Mad Angels.
[10:59] ---
    That is none of your concern.
[11:02] ---
    But father...!
[11:03] ---
    Don't call me that.
[11:06] ---
    You are already a member of this organization.
    And my subordinate.
[11:10] ---
    The day that we return to being
[11:12] ---
    father and son,
    is the day that we leave the underworld.
[11:14] ---
    The day we die.
[11:16] ---
    Understood. My apologies.
[11:18] ---
    I have an assignment for you.
[11:23] ---
    The Next Day
    Iwao's Room
[11:49] ---
    What happened?!
[11:52] ---
    Ugh, ouch...
[11:55] ---
    Ryo-san?!
[11:57] ---
    First Aid Kit
[11:58] ---
    A phoenix mirror?
[12:00] ---
    Yeah. It's something my
    father might have had.
[12:03] ---
    He never told me about anything like that...
[12:06] ---
    I'm afraid I also have never heard of it.
[12:09] ---
    However, I recall that he entrusted something
[12:11] ---
    to an antique dealer just
    days before his death.
[12:14] ---
    Antique dealer?
[12:19] ---
    Ah, I've found it.
[12:20] ---
    This is what Hazuki-sensei put it in my care,
    asking me to polish it.
[12:25] ---
    Our family crest?
[12:27] ---
    He told me that per tradition,
    this is something passed down
[12:31] ---
    to the Hazuki family heir
    when he turns eighteen.
[12:34] ---
    This isn't the mirror that Master
    Chen was talking about...
[12:37] ---
    Master Chen? Do you by chance mean
    Yaowen Chen of the Jiu Feng Company?
[12:43] ---
    Jiu Feng Co.
[12:43] ---
    Jiu Feng Company...
[12:45] ---
    You know them?
[12:46] ---
    Well, the Jiu Feng Company is a major
    antique art dealer. At least, ostensibly...
[12:51] ---
    But in truth, they're an illicit
    operation run by overseas Chinese
[12:54] ---
    who have operated in
    Yokosuka for a long time.
[12:57] ---
    They have amassed a significant fortune
    by smuggling in antique art from China.
[13:03] ---
    I do not recommend any
    association with them...
[13:14] ---
    Who are you?
[13:15] ---
    You've been tailing me long enough.
[13:20] ---
    You're that guy from Master Chen's.
[13:23] ---
    What do you want?
[13:41] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[13:44] ---
    Just a test.
[13:46] ---
    You're testing me? For what?!
[13:48] ---
    Master Chen's orders.
    I am here to serve as your bodyguard.
[13:52] ---
    Relax, you won't die on my watch.
[13:55] ---
    What?!
[13:56] ---
    No need to get heated.
    We need you alive as much as you do.
[14:00] ---
    And why is that?
[14:02] ---
    You have yet to comprehend the
    gravity of your situation.
[14:06] ---
    Lan Di will never give up his hunt,
    not until he has his hands on the phoenix mirror.
[14:10] ---
    So you'd better find it fast.
    Before they find out you're searching.
[14:15] ---
    And here I thought I was
    just cramping your style.
[14:19] ---
    You are. But I can't ignore
    an order from Master Chen.
[14:22] ---
    You're being awfully formal about it.
    Aren't you father and son?
[14:26] ---
    That's none of your business.
[14:37] ---
    So I was totally thinking
    about checking it out soon...
[14:40] ---
    Ryo-niichan!
[14:41] ---
    Hey, Mai-chan. It's been ages.
[14:43] ---
    Something wrong, Hazuki-kun?
    You look all dark and gloomy.
[14:47] ---
    Life's been rough.
[14:49] ---
    Anyways, I have something to ask you two.
[14:52] ---
    What kind of place would you hide a mirror?
[14:54] ---
    A mirror?
[14:55] ---
    I wouldn't hide something like that.
[14:57] ---
    Of course...
[14:58] ---
    Besides, when it comes to girls,
    we generally don't want to be
[15:01] ---
    seen when we're looking in a mirror. Right?
[15:03] ---
    Sometimes I wish I had my own secret room.
[15:06] ---
    A secret room...
[15:07] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:09] ---
    Nozomi-chan!
[15:11] ---
    Coming!
[15:13] ---
    I've killed a little too much time.
    I have to go help out at the shop.
[15:17] ---
    Catch you later!
[15:18] ---
    Later.
[15:18] ---
    Bye!
[15:21] ---
    So, uh, Hazuki-kun...
[15:23] ---
    When you have time,
    could I get your advice about something?
[15:26] ---
    Advice? On what?
[15:28] ---
    Um...
[15:30] ---
    The future, I guess...
[15:32] ---
    Hm?
[15:33] ---
    We'll talk later!
[15:40] ---
    The future, huh?
[15:53] ---
    Y-you got me!
[16:00] ---
    Wow, you're totally amazing, Ryo-san!
[16:03] ---
    It's like you've achieved
    another level recently!
[16:05] ---
    You think so?
[16:07] ---
    Yeah! How can I put it?
    It's like your movements have become sharper.
[16:11] ---
    It's kind of hard to describe.
[16:13] ---
    That can't be...
[16:16] ---
    I mean, I'm still at the bottom of the barrel
    compared to the likes of those guys.
[16:20] ---
    Do I even stand a chance
    at discovering the truth about my father?
[16:26] ---
    I've always thought this was weird,
[16:28] ---
    but there's an imprint of your family crest
    and a hole behind these wall scrolls.
[16:31] ---
    What're they for?
[16:32] ---
    Family crest?
[16:33] ---
    Yeah.
[16:34] ---
    So they're also a mystery to you, Ryo?
[16:39] ---
    I've been a student at this dojo for ages,
[16:42] ---
    but I guess I haven't learned everything yet.
[16:46] ---
    All right, I'm off to clean the garden!
[16:48] ---
    Oh, sure.
[16:58] ---
    This is it.
[17:41] ---
    The Hazuki family crest.
[17:54] ---
    This must be....
[18:01] ---
    What's that?
[18:05] ---
    At Bailu Village
[18:12] ---
    Father...
[18:15] ---
    So, this is the phoenix mirror.
[18:19] ---
    It is indeed crafted from
    phantom river stone.
[18:22] ---
    Why would Lan Di only take the dragon mirror?
[18:25] ---
    He must not have been aware
    that your father possessed both.
[18:30] ---
    Yuanda Zhu once explained to me...
[18:33] ---
    "When the Dragon and the Phoenix meet,
    the gates of heaven and earth will open,
[18:37] ---
    and Chi You will resurrect itself on earth."
[18:40] ---
    Chi You?
[18:43] ---
    A legendary creature from Chinese myth
    said to devour entire worlds.
[18:48] ---
    Lan Di is planning something and
    he needs the mirrors to achieve it.
[18:52] ---
    But what exactly?
[19:02] ---
    Mirror, number two! Master Lan... delighted!
[19:06] ---
    You're not going anywhere!
[19:20] ---
    Fine then, try... this!
[19:27] ---
    Guizhang!
[19:31] ---
    Hazuki!
[19:32] ---
    Press that button!
[19:41] ---
    You damn dogs!
[19:45] ---
    Got it!
[19:48] ---
    Curse you all!
[19:52] ---
    Who was that?
[19:53] ---
    Someone sent by the Chi You Men.
[19:56] ---
    They have ties with the Mad Angels.
[19:58] ---
    Mad Angels?
[20:00] ---
    They're a rival operation to us.
[20:04] ---
    Over the span of just a few years,
[20:05] ---
    they've gained tremendous
    influence here in Yokosuka
[20:09] ---
    through arms smuggling and
    a brisk illegal drug trade.
[20:13] ---
    The Mad Angels likely
    provided Lan Di his way in.
[20:16] ---
    Then, finding the Mad Angels
    could lead me back to Lan Di?
[20:19] ---
    Except we have no idea if Lan Di
    is still in Yokosuka or not...
[20:23] ---
    We leave Japan immediately.
[20:26] ---
    Make the arrangements.
[20:27] ---
    Right away.
[20:27] ---
    Where would he go?
[20:30] ---
    I suspect...
[20:32] ---
    Hong Kong.
[20:35] ---
    I have a favor to ask.
[20:36] ---
    Please help me get there. To Hong Kong!
[20:39] ---
    That's a waste of time.
[20:40] ---
    What would you do in my shoes?!
[20:43] ---
    If your father were killed before your
    very eyes, you'd just shut up and take it?
[20:47] ---
    Well, I'm sure as hell not!
[20:49] ---
    No matter what happens, I'll
    always be my father's son!
[20:55] ---
    The day that we return
    to being father and son,
[20:57] ---
    is the day that we leave the underworld.
[20:59] ---
    The day we die.
[21:02] ---
    I...
[21:03] ---
    Sorry, but we cannot help you.
[21:05] ---
    You are contemplating a venture
    into our world, the criminal underworld.
[21:11] ---
    I refuse to lead a young man
    like yourself into such a lion's den.
[21:15] ---
    So, was my father also
    a part of "your world?"
[21:19] ---
    That I cannot say.
[21:21] ---
    You will not find your answer unless
    you plunge into eye of the storm
[21:24] ---
    between our organization and the Mad Angels.
[21:27] ---
    And that means, one day,
    you will have to face the Chi You Men as well.
[21:32] ---
    You should value your life instead.
[21:36] ---
    No. I'm going after Lan Di.
[21:38] ---
    Don't you fear death?
[21:41] ---
    If I did, I would never see my
    father for who he really was.
[21:48] ---
    All I can do now is...
[21:51] ---
    become strong!
[22:03] ---
    Everything lies...
[22:06] ---
    with Yuanda Zhu.
[23:39] ---
    Shackles
[23:40] ---
    Next time: "Shackles."
