[00:20] ---
That dream again...
[00:26] ---
Pardon me!
[00:28] ---
Good morning, Mr. Ryo Hazuki!
[00:31] ---
Uh, and you are...?
[00:34] ---
I'm Xiuying's assistant,
my name is Fangmei Xun.
[00:39] ---
So, was I right or what?
[00:41] ---
See you around.
[00:43] ---
Yeah, you were right.
[00:46] ---
I have a message from Xiuying.
[00:48] ---
You are to meet her in the library
at the Man Mo Temple, straight away.
[00:56] ---
I'd like you to carry all these books outside
and then air them out on the rack.
[01:01] ---
A simple task, no?
[01:03] ---
Please get to it.
[01:05] ---
Wait.
[01:06] ---
What is it?
[01:07] ---
I want to meet with Yuanda Zhu.
[01:10] ---
I provided you a place to stay out
of deference to Master Chen.
[01:15] ---
But I never promised anything more than that.
[01:19] ---
Consider this your way of paying rent.
[01:39] ---
You need to be more careful, Ryo!
[01:41] ---
All of these books are very special!
[01:43] ---
They mustn't be damaged!
[01:46] ---
I'll take care of the higher shelves.
[01:49] ---
You just stick to where you can reach.
[01:52] ---
Sorry...
[03:27] ---
He left?!
[03:29] ---
Yep, even paid his bill in full.
[03:32] ---
You better not have kicked him out.
[03:34] ---
I didn't. He just ran
out of money, I'd wager.
[03:44] ---
And that's that!
[03:46] ---
We'll just leave them to air out like this
while the weather is nice.
[03:49] ---
Then we'll return them to the
library before it gets dark.
[03:51] ---
Then we'll be done, right?
[03:53] ---
Yes! For the day, anyway.
[03:55] ---
For the day?
[03:57] ---
We'll keep this up every
day for about a week.
[04:00] ---
Seriously?
[04:01] ---
Yep!
[04:02] ---
What's her deal? I don't get it.
[04:05] ---
Ryo! Master Xiuying is a very gentle person!
You mustn't doubt her!
[04:11] ---
Uh, sure.
[04:13] ---
Keep in mind that she's
given you a place to stay!
[04:16] ---
This is a chance for you to return the favor!
[04:20] ---
Okay, see you back here at 3 o'clock sharp!
[04:25] ---
Returning the favor, huh?
[04:30] ---
Am I correct in assuming that you've...
completed Master Tao's task?
[04:35] ---
All she's got me doing is some chores.
[04:37] ---
Chores? You are mistaken.
[04:39] ---
Those books are all precious pieces
[04:41] ---
of history collected since
the founding of this temple.
[04:44] ---
New disciples aren't even allowed near them.
[04:48] ---
Fine then, but I can't afford
to be wasting my time here.
[04:53] ---
Calm down and get your head on straight.
[04:56] ---
Did I not advise you to
learn all of the Wude?
[04:59] ---
Learning the Wude will lead to
an understanding of Kung Fu.
[05:03] ---
Perhaps that is what Master Tao
is helping you to achieve.
[05:09] ---
GON
[05:09] ---
Train yourself each and
every day without neglect.
[05:14] ---
That is "Gon".
[05:15] ---
JIE
[05:15] ---
Keep your heart free of conceit,
never use force blindly or flaunt technique.
[05:21] ---
That is "Jie".
[05:25] ---
Guess I'm gonna have to
find more martial artists.
[05:33] ---
I need to be back by 3.
[05:42] ---
Watch where you're going, boy!
It'll be coming out of your pocket if they broke!
[05:47] ---
Wait.
[05:48] ---
I know you...
[05:50] ---
You're that tourist from the
other day. You're still here?
[05:55] ---
I'm not a tourist.
[05:57] ---
I don't care what you are.
[05:59] ---
I'm not going to just let you
walk away after nearly breaking my wares.
[06:07] ---
Oh, welcome in!
[06:09] ---
Please make yourself at home.
[06:12] ---
I brought the wares you asked for.
[06:14] ---
Is that so?
[06:16] ---
Set it down over there, boy. Gently now.
[06:20] ---
Okay.
[06:20] ---
Undo the wrapping.
[06:23] ---
Now open the lid.
[06:24] ---
Okay.
[06:31] ---
What a beautiful tea set.
It's exactly what I was looking for.
[06:34] ---
These were just gathering dust at my place.
[06:37] ---
It would be better for you
to put them to use here.
[06:42] ---
I will treat them with care.
[06:44] ---
Are they valuable?
[06:47] ---
To most people, they aren't
worth very much at all.
[06:50] ---
But they are certainly old.
[06:52] ---
Uh-huh...
[06:54] ---
In other words, their value lies...
in the eye of the beholder.
[07:00] ---
Not unlike this town itself.
[07:06] ---
Here, please enjoy.
[07:09] ---
A treat for you.
[07:11] ---
But, I...
[07:13] ---
You gave her a hand, right?
You deserve a cup of tea.
[07:25] ---
Don't even bother, Wong.
[07:27] ---
Damn.
[07:29] ---
You're still decades away
from being able to snatch my purse.
[07:34] ---
I'm still working on my technique.
[07:36] ---
Oh yeah? What happened to your
"Help me, mister!" routine?
[07:40] ---
Not worth it. It only worked
on that one Japanese guy.
[07:44] ---
Speaking of, have you seen that guy around?
[07:46] ---
He apparently checked out of his hotel.
[07:48] ---
Huh? I haven't seen him. Why?
[07:52] ---
No reason. Just forget it.
[07:54] ---
Well, I can help you find him.
[07:56] ---
It'll be a total cinch with
all of my street connections.
[08:00] ---
What's with the hand?
[08:01] ---
For my trouble.
[08:13] ---
Oh, Master Xiuying! The books in
the library have all been aired out.
[08:16] ---
Great.
[08:18] ---
Did you do it?
[08:20] ---
I had to help.
[08:22] ---
That Ryo, he's just such
a careless scatterbrain!
[08:26] ---
Don't say that. He needs your guidance.
[08:30] ---
Sure thing! I'll whip his butt into shape!
[08:35] ---
I'm going out, accompany me.
[08:37] ---
Okay!
[08:42] ---
That took up a lot of my time...
[08:44] ---
I need to figure out where
martial artists are.
[08:47] ---
Help me, mister!
[08:49] ---
That trick only works once, kid.
[08:53] ---
Hey mister, been awhile.
[08:55] ---
Well, well. Looks like you've learned
the ropes around here.
[08:59] ---
Hi Joy.
[08:59] ---
You get tired of staying at that hotel?
[09:02] ---
No, not exactly. Someone's letting
me crash at their place now.
[09:07] ---
"Someone"?
[09:09] ---
Anyways, Wong, you still
trying to pull that scam?
[09:13] ---
Nope. Nobody falls for that one anymore.
[09:16] ---
So I'm working on some new material.
[09:18] ---
What have you been up to, Ryo?
[09:21] ---
I'm looking for martial artists.
[09:23] ---
You sure are obsessed with those.
[09:25] ---
Any leads you can give him with
those connections of yours, Wong?
[09:28] ---
Martial artists, huh?
[09:31] ---
Well, there is that one lady in Pigeon Park.
[09:34] ---
"Pigeon Park"?
[09:46] ---
Are you also a practitioner of martial arts?
[09:48] ---
Well, I'm actually...
[09:51] ---
Will you spar with me?
[09:53] ---
Wow, the ladies really love
this guy. You cool with this?
[09:58] ---
Cool with what?
[09:58] ---
If you don't take him off the
market, someone else will!
[10:01] ---
What do you know about the
market, you little twerp?
[10:02] ---
Ow! Ow!
What do you know about the market, you little twerp?
[10:04] ---
Are you hesitant because I'm a woman?
[10:06] ---
No, nothing like that. But
I must respectfully decline.
[10:10] ---
I knew you'd say that.
[10:20] ---
You're not bad.
[10:21] ---
I'm curious... do you know about the Wude?
[10:25] ---
The Wude? Afraid not.
[10:28] ---
Oh, but she might!
[10:31] ---
I can learn about the Wude here...?
[10:33] ---
Let's ask one of the staff!
[10:35] ---
Good idea.
[10:36] ---
Welcome!
[10:38] ---
Excuse us!
[10:39] ---
Oh my. Would you happen to be Japanese?
[10:42] ---
I am.
[10:43] ---
On vacation? Or studying abroad, like me?
[10:46] ---
He's on a quest to find martial artists!
[10:49] ---
Martial artists...
[10:52] ---
So wait, are you one...?
[10:55] ---
You're pretty good!
[10:57] ---
Sorry to be so abrupt!
[10:58] ---
Do you by chance know about the Wude?
[11:03] ---
Wude?
[11:07] ---
Get lost!
[11:10] ---
Just go away, or things will get messy!
[11:12] ---
Big talk. You've got guts, little boy.
[11:15] ---
May lead to a promising future.
[11:17] ---
But you know, kid.
[11:19] ---
Picking fights with us is
only gonna make your poor momma cry.
[11:24] ---
She's not gonna have to!
[11:26] ---
Ouch!
[11:27] ---
You stupid brat!
[11:30] ---
Enough.
[11:31] ---
Huh?!
[11:33] ---
Grown men should know better.
How dare you fight a child.
[11:37] ---
W-watch it, bitch.
[11:39] ---
Fangmei. Take them somewhere safe.
[11:41] ---
R-right away!
[11:42] ---
Come with me.
[11:43] ---
So what? You think you can take us on, missy?
[11:47] ---
Ow, shit!
[11:50] ---
We don't give ladies any
less of a beating, you know.
[12:18] ---
Screw this. We're getting outta here!
[12:21] ---
That lady is bad news!
[12:23] ---
Thugs like them don't stand a chance
against the illustrious Master Xiuying!
[12:28] ---
Are you two all right?
[12:30] ---
Yes, thank you!
[12:32] ---
Dang it, I need to learn to be stronger.
[12:35] ---
Why is that?
[12:37] ---
Because those guys will definitely come back.
And I have to make them pay.
[12:41] ---
For terrorizing my little sister!
[12:50] ---
You must not. Such thoughts will
only lead you down the wrong path.
[12:54] ---
Huh?
[12:58] ---
Fangmei, we must be going.
[13:01] ---
Yes, of course.
[13:09] ---
So, those two ladies earlier
weren't enough or something?
[13:12] ---
No.
[13:13] ---
I take it that means you're not looking
for just any old martial artist.
[13:17] ---
Enough is enough! I'm not
leaving, and that's final!
[13:21] ---
Oh yeah? I'll make you regret those words.
[13:23] ---
Stop it!
[13:24] ---
Don't bother.
[13:26] ---
Stuff like that happens
all the time in Hong Kong.
[13:31] ---
Just take a look.
[13:33] ---
Nobody gives a crap.
[13:35] ---
That guy's a landshark.
[13:37] ---
Landshark?
[13:38] ---
Yeah. Lotta old buildings
in Hong Kong, right?
[13:42] ---
Well, they tear 'em down
and build something new.
[13:46] ---
"Redevelopment", I think they call it.
It's going on everywhere now.
[13:50] ---
But before that happens, they gotta harass
the old tenants into moving out first.
[13:55] ---
And their neighbors just let it happen?
[13:57] ---
Decrepit buildings disappear
and nice new ones replace them.
[14:01] ---
A lot of people like that.
[14:03] ---
That's the reality.
[14:05] ---
And all the elites get to pocket
fat kickbacks, so you can bet they're behind it.
[14:10] ---
They just treat us like we're
yesterday's garbage and
[14:13] ---
there's nothing we can do about it.
[14:17] ---
Britain is scheduled to relinquish Hong Kong.
[14:19] ---
Life here is changing.
[14:24] ---
Whoa, it's already 4. Time
to go find me some sucker-
[14:27] ---
Don't even think about it.
[14:29] ---
Aw...
[14:30] ---
4 o'clock...
[14:33] ---
Ryo!
[14:35] ---
I already put every last book back myself!
[14:37] ---
I'm sorry.
[14:39] ---
What on Earth took you so long?
[14:41] ---
I was out looking for a martial artist
who could teach me about the Wude...
[14:46] ---
I can't believe you! That's no excuse!
[14:49] ---
Don't you think about anyone
other than yourself?
[14:52] ---
Except I didn't come all the
way here to be put to work.
[14:55] ---
Then tell me, why exactly did you come here?
[14:59] ---
To find Yuanda Zhu.
[15:02] ---
Yuanda Zhu?
[15:04] ---
Do you know him?
[15:06] ---
Certainly not.
[15:07] ---
And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!
I've had it up to here already!
[15:12] ---
What's wrong?
[15:14] ---
Nothing at all.
[15:16] ---
Well, actually...
[15:18] ---
Fangmei told me a time to come organize
the books, but I showed up late.
[15:23] ---
She is very much like you. A straight arrow.
[15:26] ---
Please don't think badly of her.
[15:33] ---
Crap, I missed prime pickpocket time.
[15:44] ---
So what's the deal?
[15:45] ---
Why're you following that Japanese
guy around everywhere, Joy?
[15:48] ---
I'm not following anyone around.
[15:50] ---
Then why're you doing
him so many favors, huh?
[15:53] ---
Setting him up with a room and stuff.
[15:56] ---
Beats me. It just happens.
[15:58] ---
Seems like this area's started
getting eviction notices left and right.
[16:01] ---
I heard even the South Carmain Quarter
is having trouble.
[16:05] ---
Nah, they've got a martial arts master over there
who's keeping things under control.
[16:10] ---
A martial arts master?
[16:11] ---
Yeah. Down at the Yan Tin Apartments,
which is also under threat of eviction.
[16:19] ---
I'm still upset! How can
he be such a fathead?
[16:22] ---
Fangmei.
[16:23] ---
Yes?
[16:24] ---
What happened earlier?
[16:26] ---
I was totally wrong about Ryo!
[16:28] ---
He's just a selfish jerk!
[16:30] ---
I see.
[16:32] ---
But perhaps the problem is
he's just too much of a straight-shooter.
[16:36] ---
Reminds me of a certain someone.
[16:38] ---
Really...?
[16:39] ---
After you finish that, could
you go out and close the gate?
[16:43] ---
Uh, sure.
[16:44] ---
Please and thank you.
[16:51] ---
Your study of the Wude...
[16:54] ---
doesn't seem to be progressing smoothly.
[16:56] ---
Even if I learned all the Wude,
[16:59] ---
I'm not even sure that Xiuying
would agree to help me.
[17:03] ---
As it stands, I'm still not any
closer to finding Yuanda Zhu.
[17:07] ---
And that totally defeats the purpose
of me coming to Hong Kong!
[17:11] ---
Then let me ask you.
[17:13] ---
Why do you practice the martial arts?
[17:17] ---
But what does that have to do
with me coming to Hong Kong?
[17:23] ---
You appear to see only the path
that lies in front of you.
[17:27] ---
Huh?
[17:29] ---
Pressing onward to view new sights is
undoubtedly an important part of traveling.
[17:33] ---
But the amount of focus that you extend to
the scenery around you is far from enough.
[17:37] ---
Far from enough?
[17:39] ---
Yes. You are lacking.
[17:43] ---
Ryo... it's still not enough.
[17:47] ---
You are lacking. Keep that in mind.
[17:50] ---
But... not enough what?
[17:53] ---
Perhaps Master Tao has known
the answer to that all along.
[17:57] ---
Hey mister!
[17:58] ---
Wong? Joy?
[18:00] ---
The Yan Tin Apartments.
[18:01] ---
What about them?
[18:03] ---
Go there! We heard a master martial artist
named Guixiang lives there!
[18:08] ---
Thank you!
[18:13] ---
Yan Tin Apartments
[18:13] ---
Jeez, get it through your thick skulls already.
For the last time, I'm staying put!
[18:19] ---
Damn old hag!
[18:20] ---
Then we'll just do this the hard way!
[18:25] ---
Enough.
[18:26] ---
Who the hell are you?
[18:28] ---
It's you...
[18:30] ---
This ain't your goddamn problem.
[18:32] ---
This lady doesn't want you bothering her.
[18:34] ---
Who cares! We got a business to run!
[18:36] ---
Besides, we're in the right here.
We're making this town new again.
[18:40] ---
Don't make the same mistake I did.
[18:42] ---
The hell do you mean?!
[18:44] ---
There's nothing wrong with new sights.
[18:46] ---
But I didn't focus enough on the scenery
of the present that was all around me.
[18:52] ---
Just like you guys.
[18:53] ---
You're full of shit!
[18:55] ---
Get 'em, boys!
[19:00] ---
You punk!
[19:04] ---
Well now.
[19:07] ---
What's this guy made of?!
[19:09] ---
Is everyone in this neighborhood
a kung fu master?
[19:13] ---
We'll get you back for this!
[19:14] ---
Dammit!
[19:18] ---
So boy, what did you come here for?
[19:21] ---
I know it wasn't to chase
off some landsharks.
[19:25] ---
I came to learn about the Wude
from a martial artist named Guixiang.
[19:29] ---
Oh? Then why did you help me?
[19:33] ---
Why?
[19:34] ---
Isn't that obvious? You actually
said it yourself, ma'am.
[19:39] ---
In other words, their value lies...
in the eye of the beholder.
[19:44] ---
Not unlike this town itself.
[19:48] ---
To me, protecting the people here
simply seemed like the right thing to do.
[19:53] ---
That is one of the Wude.
[19:55] ---
What?
[19:56] ---
"To act without hesitation
for what is right."
[20:00] ---
It is the Wude known as Yi.
[20:04] ---
YI
[20:07] ---
Seriously?
[20:08] ---
And also... I'm Guixiang.
[20:13] ---
It was you...
[20:15] ---
You need to stop judging people
by their appearances so much.
[20:19] ---
So I've been told.
[20:21] ---
That figures.
[20:33] ---
Why do you practice the martial arts?
[20:37] ---
I get it!
[20:38] ---
MAN MO TEMPLE
[20:43] ---
"To act without hesitation
for what is right."
[20:48] ---
One of the Wude, called Yi.
[20:53] ---
Is that what you thought I'm missing?
This Wude known as Yi?
[20:58] ---
What I saw inside of you...
[21:02] ---
was the fire of revenge.
[21:05] ---
Surely by now, you can sense it yourself.
[21:11] ---
Killing in the name of vengeance
is murder just the same.
[21:15] ---
And that, I will have no hand in.
[21:26] ---
Ryo!
[21:27] ---
Hey Fangmei. I'm sorry about earlier.
[21:30] ---
It's okay. I think I got
the wrong idea about you.
[21:34] ---
I'm sorry, too.
[21:36] ---
Huh?
[21:38] ---
Um, about the person you mentioned before.
[21:41] ---
If I remember right, there's a book called the Wulinshu
in the
[21:43] ---
library with the name "Zhu" on the cover.
[21:59] ---
Wulinshu
[22:02] ---
Yuanda
Zhu
[22:02] ---
Yuanda Zhu!
[23:39] ---
Distinct
[23:40] ---
Next time: "Distinct."
