**[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."
