[00:10] ---
    Yuanda Zhu!
[00:12] ---
    This is the book.
[00:19] ---
    Sunming Zhao
[00:21] ---
    Do you remember Sunming Zhao?
[00:24] ---
    That is the name of the man you killed.
[00:30] ---
    Lan Di mentioned him.
[00:48] ---
    Yuanda Zhu... the man who holds
    the key to my father's murder.
[01:03] ---
    Ziming...
[02:40] ---
    The Next Day
    Man Mo Temple
[02:44] ---
    All done!
[02:46] ---
    So Ryo, did you find the Wulinshu?
[02:48] ---
    Huh? Oh, yeah.
[02:51] ---
    This paper was tucked inside of it.
    Do you know what it means?
[02:56] ---
    No clue. Some kind of code, I guess.
[02:59] ---
    I need to find out.
[03:01] ---
    I believe the owner of the Hong Kong Tea Shop
[03:03] ---
    in the Lucky Charm Quarter knows a lot about this sort of thing.
[03:09] ---
    This looks like a Chawan Sign to me.
[03:11] ---
    "Chawan Sign"?
[03:13] ---
    Guixiang would know more.
[03:14] ---
    Down at the Yan Tin Apartments.
[03:16] ---
    Guixiang...
[03:20] ---
    What are you here for this time?
[03:22] ---
    These symbols. Do you know what they are?
[03:27] ---
    Come inside.
[03:31] ---
    This is a Chawan Sign.
[03:34] ---
    And what exactly is that?
[03:36] ---
    A code created for private communication between
[03:38] ---
    masters of the same school of martial arts.
[03:41] ---
    "Heaven" denotes time, and "Earth" indicates place.
[03:46] ---
    HEAVEN DRAGON EARTH FRIEND
[03:46] ---
    What about "Friend" and "Dragon"?
[03:48] ---
    "Friend" refers to a person, and "Dragon" is an action.
[03:52] ---
    Okay, but why line them up like this?
[04:04] ---
    Each word corresponds to how a teacup
    should be placed. From the one on the far left...
[04:10] ---
    Heaven, Dragon, Earth, Friend like so.
[04:15] ---
    And... what about this?
[04:18] ---
    If I'm not mistaken, this is a sign that
    indicates you're an ally of Yuanda Zhu.
[04:27] ---
    Commit this arrangement to memory.
[04:31] ---
    Use it where people gather, like at a restaurant or bar.
[04:34] ---
    If an associate of Yuanda Zhu sees it,
    they'll respond somehow.
[04:39] ---
    Here goes nothing.
[04:41] ---
    Let's see...
[04:43] ---
    I think that's right.
[04:55] ---
    Excuse me! The bill, please!
[05:03] ---
    The customer who was just here left this for you.
[05:07] ---
    Man Mo Park at 9PM
[05:13] ---
    Man Mo Park
[05:17] ---
    This must be the place.
[06:07] ---
    Ziming Hong
    Xiuying Hong
[06:10] ---
    Thank goodness. I'm glad you didn't get hurt any worse.
[06:14] ---
    Thanks for the help.
[06:15] ---
    But how on Earth did I get all the way back here?
[06:18] ---
    You don't remember?
[06:20] ---
    No.
[06:21] ---
    You seriously need to look out for yourself more.
    Master Xiuying is concerned about you.
[06:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:31] ---
    Who is Ziming? Someone you know?
[06:38] ---
    From a young age, Master Xiuying
    was raised in an orphanage.
[06:43] ---
    Alongside her older brother.
[06:46] ---
    But one day, without any warning,
    her brother up and left...
[06:51] ---
    and never returned.
[06:53] ---
    So then, Ziming is...?
[06:56] ---
    Yes, he is Master Xiuying's older brother.
[07:02] ---
    Oh, that's right. I should change your bandages.
[07:05] ---
    No, you don't have to worry about that.
[07:08] ---
    I won't take no for an answer.
    You need to get a full day of rest!
[07:11] ---
    Just let me handle airing out the books.
[07:16] ---
    I appreciate it.
[07:27] ---
    What is it?
[07:30] ---
    You must be a martial artist.
[07:33] ---
    That Chawan Sign gave you away. I actually saw
    one similar to yours at the Dou Jiang Diner.
[07:39] ---
    But look closely. You've made a small mistake.
[07:42] ---
    Huh?
[07:42] ---
    Some Chawan Signs are dangerous.
    Even one misplaced teacup could put your life at risk.
[07:48] ---
    Are you... a martial artist?
[07:52] ---
    A long time ago. But I had to call it quits.
[07:57] ---
    Tell me something...
[07:58] ---
    There are four Wude that you must achieve.
[08:02] ---
    Your first step should be learning what all of them are.
[08:07] ---
    Do you know of the Wude?
[08:08] ---
    And if I did?
[08:11] ---
    I would ask you to teach me.
[08:15] ---
    Follow me.
[08:30] ---
    All right. Let's give you a little test.
[08:35] ---
    What the?!
[08:38] ---
    Excellent reflexes.
[08:40] ---
    You're using that Chawan Sign to accomplish
    some kind of goal, I assume.
[08:45] ---
    But unfortunately, I can't share
    my knowledge of the Wude with you.
[08:49] ---
    Why not?
[08:52] ---
    Because you lack something very fundamental.
[08:55] ---
    You're not fit to learn about the Wude.
[09:06] ---
    Ryo... it's still not enough.
[09:10] ---
    You are lacking. Keep that in mind.
[09:13] ---
    Yes. You are lacking.
[09:16] ---
    Because you lack something very fundamental.
[09:19] ---
    Yet another tongue-lashing...
[09:22] ---
    No use brooding over it.
[09:25] ---
    I actually saw one similar to yours at the Dou Jiang Diner.
[09:30] ---
    It's worth a shot.
[09:40] ---
    But look closely. You've made a small mistake.
[09:43] ---
    I have to get it right this time...
[09:52] ---
    Telephone call for you, sir.
[09:59] ---
    Hello.
[10:02] ---
    Hello?
[10:12] ---
    Tonight at 8... meet here.
[10:22] ---
    Looking for Ryo?
[10:25] ---
    He left early this morning to visit a tea shop.
[10:31] ---
    His mind is far from where it needs to be.
    Clear and serene as a mirror.
[10:36] ---
    Huh? What do you mean?
[10:38] ---
    Oh, no. It's nothing.
[10:45] ---
    Dou Jiang Diner
[10:50] ---
    Thank you for your patience.
[10:56] ---
    And you are...?
[10:57] ---
    I am in the service of Yuanda Zhu.
[11:00] ---
    Yuanda Zhu is who I've been searching for!
[11:03] ---
    How do you know of him?
[11:05] ---
    Actually...
[11:08] ---
    There he is!
[11:09] ---
    Damn!
[11:11] ---
    Who are these guys?
[11:12] ---
    You need to get out of here, now!
[11:14] ---
    Get him!
[11:19] ---
    Lay off him!
[11:20] ---
    The hell?
[11:20] ---
    Stay outta this!
[11:26] ---
    H-holy shit...
[11:28] ---
    Hurry. Let's boogie.
[11:30] ---
    Wait.
[11:31] ---
    Where are the others?
[11:35] ---
    What's going on?
[11:49] ---
    Who is that?
[11:50] ---
    Wait a sec...
[11:53] ---
    It's that punk!
[11:57] ---
    Poor kid is too cocky to realize
    just who he's messing with.
[12:02] ---
    Fine by me. Step on up, let's dance.
[12:05] ---
    Go on, boys. Show him a good ti-
[12:17] ---
    You're gonna be real sorry later!
[12:26] ---
    What just happened...?
[12:31] ---
    Are you okay?
[12:34] ---
    Who in the world are you...?
[12:36] ---
    My name is Ryo Hazuki.
[12:44] ---
    This is... a letter from Yuanda!
[12:47] ---
    The addressee here, who is Iwao Hazuki?
[12:50] ---
    My father. He was killed by a man known as Lan Di.
[12:55] ---
    So the Chi You Men have
    extended their reach to Japan...
[12:58] ---
    My name is Shuqin. I am Yuanda Zhu's aide.
[13:02] ---
    Where is he right now?
[13:03] ---
    I don't know. He went into hiding after
    being targeted by the Chi You Men.
[13:09] ---
    How will I find him now...
[13:12] ---
    There is one way.
[13:14] ---
    However, it is not for the faint of heart.
[13:16] ---
    Please tell me!
[13:19] ---
    Seek out Ren of the Heavens gang.
[13:23] ---
    Ren of the Heavens?
[13:25] ---
    His hideout is...
[13:30] ---
    Whatchu want?
[13:31] ---
    I'm looking for Ren.
[13:33] ---
    Who cares!
[13:35] ---
    Show me to Ren.
[13:36] ---
    You smug punk!
[13:38] ---
    Who do you think you're talkin' to?!
[13:40] ---
    No one just walks up and asks for Ren.
    Lemme teach you some damn manners!
[13:47] ---
    You little bastard!
[13:49] ---
    Ow ow ow ow!
[13:51] ---
    Please, lemme go!
[13:54] ---
    Take me to Ren.
[13:56] ---
    F-fine!
[13:58] ---
    Over that way!
[14:06] ---
    This is where Ren is?
[14:08] ---
    Yup.
[14:12] ---
    Not... again... dammit...
[14:18] ---
    Ryo. Hey, Ryo!
[14:21] ---
    Wake up!
[14:24] ---
    You all right?
[14:26] ---
    Wong...?
[14:28] ---
    You're a major dumbass.
[14:30] ---
    You were watching?
[14:31] ---
    Yeah, from a safe distance.
[14:32] ---
    I'm searching for a man named Ren.
[14:36] ---
    Do you know him?
[14:37] ---
    Sure I do.
[14:38] ---
    But you'll have to get to him on your own.
[14:41] ---
    I made a big scene earlier,
    so nobody's gonna believe a word I say.
[14:46] ---
    I was going to go alone anyway.
[14:49] ---
    Then take this with you.
[14:54] ---
    Only Heavens members carry those lighters.
[14:57] ---
    Flash it at the entrance and say this:
[15:00] ---
    "I came to pay Ren his cash."
[15:02] ---
    Cash?
[15:03] ---
    Ren is a sucker for anything that could lead to money.
[15:08] ---
    Thank you.
[15:09] ---
    Just remember one thing.
[15:11] ---
    Ren won't take you seriously
    unless you've got nerves of steel.
[15:15] ---
    So don't show him any weakness.
[15:19] ---
    Got it.
[15:22] ---
    Sunnuva... you back for more?
[15:25] ---
    I came to pay Ren his cash.
[15:33] ---
    Go on.
[15:38] ---
    So, I hear you got cash for me?
[15:41] ---
    Then you must want something.
    You looking to be friends?
[15:45] ---
    No, I'm not.
[15:51] ---
    I want to know where I can find Yuanda Zhu.
[15:53] ---
    Yuanda Zhu? Yeah, no sweat.
[15:56] ---
    But first things first...
[15:59] ---
    May the gods be with you.
[16:05] ---
    Why didn't you move?
[16:06] ---
    Take a guess.
[16:09] ---
    Whatever.
[16:11] ---
    I'll bring you to Yuanda Zhu. Follow me.
[16:27] ---
    It's all there.
[16:34] ---
    I've seen him before...
[16:37] ---
    Hey Ren, who exactly is that guy?
[16:44] ---
    What the?!
[16:45] ---
    Hey!
[16:47] ---
    Hurry and turn the lights on!
[16:50] ---
    The money's all gone!
[16:52] ---
    That asshole...!
[16:59] ---
    Now that's a face I remember. Where's the moolah?
[17:03] ---
    I didn't take your money. I only...
[17:05] ---
    You can't wriggle your way
    out of this one. Get him, boys!
[17:10] ---
    Curse you, Ren.
[17:18] ---
    Man, talk about gullible. Idiots always
    make the perfect scapegoats.
[17:22] ---
    Ren!
[17:25] ---
    Oh shit!
[17:32] ---
    Pardon me!
[17:40] ---
    Damn! Just lay off already!
[17:52] ---
    No more games!
[17:58] ---
    Peace out!
[17:59] ---
    Wait!
[18:17] ---
    You still alive?
[18:19] ---
    Just barely.
[18:25] ---
    Huh?
[18:26] ---
    What's that?
[18:30] ---
    Real talk. What's got you so
    determined to see Yuanda Zhu?
[18:35] ---
    He's the only lead I have to finding
    the man who killed my father.
[18:40] ---
    Kid out to avenge his daddy.
[18:42] ---
    But I smell loads of cash behind all this.
[18:46] ---
    I'll tell you where to find Yuanda Zhu.
[18:48] ---
    And in return, you're gonna give me a piece of the action.
[18:54] ---
    Suit yourself.
[18:55] ---
    I'm nothing like you.
[18:59] ---
    It's obvious that chip on your shoulder makes you gutsy.
[19:02] ---
    But money is what matters to me.
[19:04] ---
    And obviously, I only profit if I stay alive.
[19:08] ---
    That's why I'm always on my guard to avoid legit threats.
[19:11] ---
    Unlike you.
[19:15] ---
    Of course...
[19:16] ---
    Huh?
[19:19] ---
    The Next Day
    Zhangyu's Barber Shop
[19:28] ---
    Seems you figured out what you were lacking.
[19:32] ---
    Your move with that razor may be sharp,
    but I judged there was no threat behind it.
[19:36] ---
    "Never be shaken, remain calm
    and resolute to make the proper decision."
[19:42] ---
    That is the Wude known as Dan!
[19:46] ---
    DAN
[19:48] ---
    One of the Wude... Dan.
[19:51] ---
    Anyone can have courage.
[19:54] ---
    But courage without any foresight...
[19:58] ---
    that will land you in all sorts of trouble.
[20:01] ---
    Like when you started carelessly
    using that Chawan Sign.
[20:09] ---
    So that's what she meant.
[20:17] ---
    I heard the story. About you and your brother...
[20:22] ---
    I don't know what reason your brother had for leaving.
[20:25] ---
    But I take it you didn't think it was a proper one?
[20:29] ---
    Why do you ask?
[20:32] ---
    For the longest time, I couldn't figure out
    why you wouldn't help me.
[20:36] ---
    But back when we first met...
[20:39] ---
    You will one day be led astray
    if you continue down this path as you are now.
[20:44] ---
    I started thinking you said that out of concern for me.
[20:47] ---
    And I realized that someone
    in your life must have been led astray...
[20:52] ---
    Can you tell me once again why it is you came here?
[20:57] ---
    To find out the truth about my father's murder.
[21:02] ---
    And when you discover that truth?
[21:05] ---
    What then? What if you find out
    that he was killed by mistake?
[21:13] ---
    The seeds of revenge will surely sprout in your heart.
[21:16] ---
    I don't...
[21:20] ---
    have an answer to that.
[21:22] ---
    I already know the answer.
[21:25] ---
    We just can't get on the same page. I'm sorry.
[21:30] ---
    Even after learning the Wude, you still don't see it?
[21:34] ---
    Martial arts serve to preserve life, not destroy it.
[21:36] ---
    Once you've allowed your emotions to control your fist,
[21:39] ---
    you've stepped down the wrong path.
[21:41] ---
    I don't wish to burden you any further.
[21:45] ---
    And so... I'm leaving.
[22:06] ---
    As you wish.
[23:38] ---
    Comeback
[23:40] ---
    Next time: "Comeback."
