[00:08] ---
You are... Master Lishao Tao?!
[00:12] ---
Allow me to guess what you're thinking right now.
[00:15] ---
"Is this woman really Lishao Tao? Where is the proof?"
[00:20] ---
And... "I would never lose in a fight against her."
[00:25] ---
Th-that's not true...
[00:27] ---
Besides, fighting women isn't something I do.
[00:31] ---
Is that so?
[00:33] ---
Then what else would convince you?
[00:36] ---
What can prove she is Master Lishao Tao?
[00:38] ---
Do not hold back. Spar with her.
[01:00] ---
Swallow Dive!
[01:06] ---
This is a pressure point.
It can easily cripple any opponent.
[01:10] ---
If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead.
[01:14] ---
Consider yourself fortunate.
[01:16] ---
W-well...
[01:17] ---
Go home. Return to your country.
[01:21] ---
I cannot offer you any help.
[03:00] ---
Too bad.
[03:02] ---
Your skills just aren't up to the challenge.
[03:05] ---
Even the biggest and strongest fighters...
[03:08] ---
can't beat Master Xiuying!
[03:12] ---
Fangmei!
[03:13] ---
This is not your concern.
[03:14] ---
Go back to work.
[03:16] ---
Yesiree!
[03:18] ---
See you around.
[03:19] ---
Sorry, I don't think I'll be back.
[03:22] ---
Sure you will. No doubt!
[03:27] ---
How was it? Sparring against Master Tao?
[03:31] ---
I felt... like a completely open book.
[03:35] ---
You judged Master Tao solely by her appearance.
[03:38] ---
You doubted her strength and wondered
how a woman like her could be a master.
[03:44] ---
Am I wrong?
[03:50] ---
You said you came to seek the Master's
help in finding Yuanda Zhu, correct?
[03:54] ---
Yes. But I don't know what to do now...
[03:58] ---
Then go to the Guang Martial Arts School.
[04:02] ---
What for?
[04:03] ---
There are four Wude that you must achieve.
[04:06] ---
Your first step should be learning what all of them are.
[04:11] ---
Four Wude?
[04:12] ---
That's right.
[04:13] ---
Have you ever considered that the shortest route
[04:15] ---
to your goal may not be a straight line?
[04:20] ---
You have been consumed by your desire,
becoming blind to what stands before you.
[04:25] ---
Perhaps the more you continue to search,
the more you lose sight of what really matters.
[04:31] ---
With enough time, the Master may change her mind.
[04:36] ---
I understand. I will try.
[04:39] ---
Um...
[04:41] ---
Why are you helping me?
[04:43] ---
It is not for your sake.
[04:56] ---
Guang Martial Arts School... this must be it.
[05:08] ---
What do you want?
[05:10] ---
Look, I just...
[05:11] ---
He appears to be a guest. He may pass.
[05:15] ---
Yessir!
[05:19] ---
Welcome to you.
[05:21] ---
My name is Zhoushan Xuan.
[05:23] ---
I am master of the Guang Martial Arts School.
[05:29] ---
I am Ryo Hazuki. I hail from Japan.
[05:32] ---
What business might a visitor from Japan have here?
[05:35] ---
I would like to learn about the Wude.
[05:38] ---
The Wude?
[05:40] ---
And why is that?
[05:42] ---
To understand the teachings of Master Lishao Tao.
[05:45] ---
Master Lishao Tao, eh?
[05:50] ---
I see.
[05:53] ---
However, I am...
[05:57] ---
not worthy to speak of the Wude.
[06:00] ---
Why not?
[06:03] ---
Because I once ruined a man's life...
[06:10] ---
Aberdeen
The Next Day
[06:18] ---
All right. So you don't know?
[06:20] ---
Nope. Sorry.
[06:22] ---
Your Cantonese is really improving.
[06:26] ---
Hello Joy. Funny seeing you again.
[06:28] ---
Hong Kong's a small world.
Still on the hunt for something?
[06:33] ---
I'm looking for a skilled martial artist. Know any?
[06:37] ---
Sorry, that's not my kinda thing.
[06:40] ---
Anyways, you wanna hang out for a bit?
I can show you around the city.
[06:45] ---
I'll pass.
[06:50] ---
Actually, I've heard talk about a street performer
at the Golden Shopping Mall.
[06:55] ---
He once took out a pack of thugs like they were
yesterday's garbage.
[07:07] ---
A street performer, huh?
[07:17] ---
Excuse me.
[07:19] ---
You with the Yellow Heads?
[07:20] ---
"Yellow Heads"?
[07:22] ---
Forget it.
[07:24] ---
You must be new around here. Where're you from?
[07:28] ---
Japan.
[07:28] ---
You've got guts. Okay, I'll take a beer.
[07:32] ---
What?
[07:32] ---
A beer, man! Go get me one.
[07:45] ---
Nothing like the first drink of the morning!
[07:48] ---
Sure...
[07:50] ---
Okay! Time to get up and at 'em!
[07:52] ---
For what, exactly?
[07:57] ---
Come one, come all! Step right up!
[07:59] ---
This man here is a bonafide karate expert
straight from Japan!
[08:03] ---
Marvel in surprise and delight
as his human hands shatter this rock!
[08:09] ---
If the rock cracks, and it will,
then please, be most generous!
[08:15] ---
Hold up...
[08:16] ---
Don't worry. I've got you covered!
[08:18] ---
Okay?
[08:35] ---
Unbelievable! Why didn't you tell me
you actually knew karate!
[08:39] ---
I'm Zongquan. How about it?
We could make a killing, you and me.
[08:44] ---
I'm Ryo Hazuki.
[08:46] ---
But sorry, I didn't come here to perform.
[08:49] ---
No? Then what for?
[08:51] ---
I need to find a martial artist
who can teach me the Wude.
[08:57] ---
Shoot. Here I thought you came from Japan
to train as a street performer.
[09:03] ---
But, no, the kid wants Wude...
[09:05] ---
Do you know them? The Wude?
[09:07] ---
Sorry, kid, but I ain't worthy
enough to speak of the Wude.
[09:13] ---
Try somewhere else.
[09:15] ---
That's exactly what the master
of the Guang School said...
[09:18] ---
You know the honorable master?!
[09:20] ---
"Honorable"?
[09:21] ---
Naw, it's nothing.
[09:22] ---
Here, this is your cut. Take it.
[09:25] ---
See ya.
[09:46] ---
Not exactly the most friendly way
to ask someone out on a date...
[09:50] ---
Ren.
[09:51] ---
You must be kidding, no guys in Aberdeen
[09:54] ---
would ever think about hitting on you.
[09:58] ---
You can say that again.
[09:59] ---
Wong told me everything.
[10:01] ---
About how you're helping out some badass Japanese
dude.
[10:05] ---
Yeah, and I'm free to do what I want.
[10:07] ---
Wait.
[10:08] ---
What?
[10:10] ---
Tell me about him.
[10:14] ---
I can't abide by that until I've accomplished my goal.
[10:18] ---
I came to Hong Kong to make that happen.
[10:21] ---
If you're so interested, then go meet him for yourself.
[10:25] ---
Where can I find him?
[10:27] ---
He's looking for martial artists.
[10:30] ---
I told him he'd find a street performer
who fits the bill at the Golden Shopping Mall.
[10:34] ---
The Golden Shopping Mall...
[10:36] ---
GUANG MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL
[10:37] ---
What? Zongquan said that?
[10:40] ---
Yes. He called you "honorable master".
[10:44] ---
Is Zongquan the man who you were referring to before?
[10:49] ---
He is a former disciple who I banished.
[10:52] ---
So, it was him...
[10:56] ---
In his youth, Zongquan was
a most promising martial artist.
[11:00] ---
Amongst my many disciples,
his talent was one-in-a-thousand.
[11:04] ---
But then at some point, he overstepped his bounds.
[11:08] ---
He began to misuse martial arts
to attract attention to himself...
[11:14] ---
Even now he makes a spectacle of his art,
going about as a street performer.
[11:19] ---
Zongquan lost his way and it is entirely my fault.
[11:24] ---
After failing to properly guide even my own disciple,
[11:27] ---
how can I speak of Wude?
[11:36] ---
Huh? Zongquan?
[11:39] ---
He's gone...
[11:40] ---
Hey, you!
[11:41] ---
You friends with Zongquan?
[11:43] ---
Who wants to know?
[11:44] ---
Just answer the question, punk!
[11:46] ---
Lay off. I'm only here to look for Zongquan.
[11:50] ---
Not to waste time with you lowlifes.
[11:52] ---
Wow. Hard to believe there are still dumbasses left
who oppose us Yellow Heads.
[11:57] ---
Yellow Heads?
[11:58] ---
Let's make this twerp bleed.
[12:00] ---
Unless you wanna cough up Zongquan's protection fee.
Then we'll let you off easy.
[12:05] ---
I refuse.
[12:06] ---
Well, this oughta be fun.
[12:12] ---
Sunuva...!
[12:18] ---
Whew! Now, that's better.
[12:21] ---
Huh? What's going on?
[12:24] ---
Did something happen?
[12:25] ---
Some idiot went and pissed off the Yellow Heads.
[12:29] ---
Can't get any stupider than that.
[12:36] ---
Time to scram.
[12:37] ---
Zongquan?!
[12:38] ---
It's Zongquan!
[12:39] ---
Finally came outta hiding, huh!
[12:41] ---
What gives? Who are these clowns?
[12:42] ---
Just get going!
[12:45] ---
Damn you!
[12:48] ---
Shithead!
[12:53] ---
Let's move!
[13:00] ---
Turn this way!
[13:01] ---
Uh, okay!
[13:23] ---
Master Xiuying.
[13:25] ---
I've been looking for you.
[13:27] ---
Fangmei...
[13:28] ---
I've finished cleaning up the worship hall.
[13:30] ---
Thank you.
[13:32] ---
Let's have you do my room next.
[13:34] ---
Already taken care of.
[13:36] ---
I had a feeling it would need to be cleaned.
[13:44] ---
The guys were calling themselves Yellow Heads.
[13:46] ---
And the one fighting them looked to be a foreigner.
[13:49] ---
Did you see anything else?
[13:52] ---
That's all I saw.
[13:54] ---
Damn.
[13:56] ---
Man, that was a close call.
[13:58] ---
Who exactly were those creeps?
[14:01] ---
They're called the Yellow Heads.
[14:03] ---
And they are...?
[14:05] ---
A gang that controls the underworld here in Hong Kong.
[14:08] ---
I've stuck it out without ever paying them
any "protection" money.
[14:12] ---
So they like to come and harass me from time to time.
[14:16] ---
They didn't seem very tough. Why'd we run?
[14:19] ---
I don't like hassles.
[14:22] ---
So, what'd you come for this time?
[14:25] ---
Master Zhoushan told me about your past.
[14:30] ---
That so?
[14:32] ---
Guess he told you how much of a failure I was.
[14:33] ---
No. He seemed frustrated and
blamed it all on his own shortcomings.
[14:40] ---
As if...
[14:45] ---
Righto.
[14:50] ---
Time to get to work. Step aside, will ya?
[14:53] ---
Work?
[14:57] ---
Step right up, folks!
Rare vintage books here, real collectibles!
[15:01] ---
Don't be shy now!
[15:03] ---
Take a good look!
[15:09] ---
The key for room 203, please.
[15:17] ---
Jeez, how long are you planning to stay?
[15:20] ---
I know you're Joy's friend and all,
but that doesn't mean everything's free.
[15:23] ---
I'll need you to start paying come tomorrow.
[15:26] ---
Y-yes, sir.
[15:39] ---
Hey Joy.
[15:41] ---
Wanna grab a bite to eat?
[15:44] ---
So, were you able to find that street performer?
[15:47] ---
Yeah. I meant to thank you.
[15:50] ---
Nah, don't mention it.
[15:52] ---
I'm curious. Has anyone else come to see you recently?
[15:55] ---
I had a run-in with some guys called the Yellow Heads.
[15:59] ---
The Yellow Heads...?!
[16:00] ---
What is it?
[16:02] ---
Nothing.
[16:04] ---
Way to go and catch everyone's eye.
[16:07] ---
You must be really terrible at hiding
the fact that you're extraordinary.
[16:12] ---
Is that a compliment, or an insult?
[16:14] ---
A bit of both.
[16:16] ---
Guess there's something about you that
the knuckleheads in Hong Kong just can't ignore.
[16:21] ---
But you know that a real tough cat doesn't
show his claws out in the open, right?
[16:27] ---
Tough cats don't show their claws... huh.
[16:31] ---
He began to misuse martial arts
to attract attention to himself...
[16:35] ---
I don't like hassles.
[16:38] ---
Even now he makes a spectacle of his art,
going about as a street performer.
[16:45] ---
I get it!
[16:46] ---
What's up?
[16:48] ---
Sorry! I've got someplace to be!
[16:51] ---
Hold on! Ryo!
[16:57] ---
The guys in Hong Kong really don't ever
think about hitting on me, huh?
[17:06] ---
Hey Zongquan.
[17:08] ---
Heard you put on quite a show with our boys.
[17:11] ---
I'm here to collect their pay.
[17:13] ---
You get paid based on results in this biz.
[17:16] ---
And unfortunately...
[17:17] ---
they really bombed.
[17:19] ---
Is that all you got to say?
[17:22] ---
'Cuz the Yellow Heads can't just let things like this slide.
[17:26] ---
Get him.
[17:36] ---
Our turn!
[17:41] ---
Stop!
[17:43] ---
Zongquan! Don't fight back against them.
[17:46] ---
It's you...
[17:49] ---
It's that punk from earlier!
[17:50] ---
What?
[17:52] ---
Just listen to me.
[17:53] ---
You keep your true strength to yourself.
And you don't make a spectacle of martial arts.
[17:58] ---
That's because you still adhere to
the teachings of Master Zhoushan, right?
[18:03] ---
I want you to stay true to those virtues.
[18:06] ---
Enough bullshit! Just shut up!
[18:15] ---
We're only horsing around.
[18:17] ---
I'm not putting on a show or doing martial arts.
[18:22] ---
This kid is a real barrel of laughs.
[18:25] ---
We're leaving!
[18:26] ---
Y-yes, boss...
[18:27] ---
Ow...
[18:29] ---
I'm betting...
[18:30] ---
I'll see you again real soon.
[18:35] ---
How'd you figure it out?
[18:38] ---
The real reason I refused to fight.
[18:40] ---
Tough cats don't show their claws out in the open.
[18:44] ---
I understand that now.
[18:47] ---
Interesting way to put it. In that case...
[18:51] ---
Can you give this to Master Zhoushan for me?
[18:51] ---
Master
Zhoushan
[18:55] ---
Don't go peeking now.
[18:58] ---
Sure.
[19:00] ---
Guang Martial Arts School
The Next Day
[19:04] ---
Master
Zhoushan
[19:04] ---
What's this?
[19:06] ---
It's a letter I'm delivering for Zongquan.
[19:09] ---
From Zongquan?
[19:10] ---
Yes.
[19:13] ---
He had already quit street performing.
[19:16] ---
My vow of Jie is broken, but like a tune that enchants the mouth,
[19:21] ---
the martial arts yet enchant my hands.
[19:24] ---
That Zongquan...
[19:26] ---
What does it mean?
[19:28] ---
He speaks of the Wude.
[19:30] ---
Keep your heart free of conceit,
never use force blindly or flaunt technique.
[19:38] ---
That is one of the Wude, "Jie".
[19:41] ---
JIE
[19:44] ---
Another one of the Wude... Jie.
[19:47] ---
Just as those who love music
are constantly humming a tune,
[19:51] ---
the minds of martial artists are always
on their fists, never ceasing to train.
[19:56] ---
Golden Shopping Mall
[19:57] ---
Although Zongquan has broken his vow of Jie
and now lives a new life,
[20:02] ---
he never put the path of martial arts behind him.
[20:05] ---
That is what he is telling me.
[20:08] ---
Zongquan, my pupil. You will keep to
the path of martial arts... eh?
[20:21] ---
Keep your heart free of conceit,
[20:24] ---
never use force blindly
[20:27] ---
or flaunt technique.
[20:29] ---
That is Jie. Another one of the Wude.
[20:32] ---
You knew that I lacked understanding of Jie.
[20:35] ---
Is that why you said you were unwilling to help me?
[20:39] ---
Indeed, you did not know the meaning of Jie.
[20:43] ---
However, that is not my only reason.
[20:45] ---
Then, why?
[20:47] ---
It matters not. I will not be changing my decision.
[20:52] ---
I feel the same.
[20:56] ---
Until you change your mind, I refuse to give up.
[21:02] ---
I won't give up, Xiuying.
[21:08] ---
Follow me.
[21:15] ---
Where are we?
[21:16] ---
This is my room. Starting today, you will stay here.
[21:20] ---
But...
[21:21] ---
I still have no intention of helping you.
[21:23] ---
But Master Chen sent you to me in good faith,
and I cannot ignore that.
[21:28] ---
I appreciate it, Master Tao.
[21:30] ---
Xiuying.
[21:31] ---
What?
[21:32] ---
Xiuying Hong. That is my real name.
[21:38] ---
Master Xiuying.
[21:41] ---
Thank you.
[21:44] ---
See? My intuition was spot on, I knew it
was good idea to clean Master Xiuying's room!
[21:50] ---
Don't get too excited.
[23:40] ---
Aspiration
[23:41] ---
Next time: "Aspiration."
