Ip Man (2013) s01e09 Episode Script

Marshal, Lo Cheung-yee is dead The obstacle for the northern expedition has been removed We've got Cheung Yam-tong's money Everything is ready Once you give the signal I'd be ready to go to the frontline for the expedition We should avoid war by all means Marshal Tsui Sai-cheung has resigned and stepped down The reason for the northern expedition has been removed Marshal, the expedition doesn't just mean removing Tsui It's for the revolution For the establishment of a real republic You are still so idealistic Politics means seeking compromise Isn't a peaceful revolution the better option? Marshal Chu You've bided the time in the north for me for so long It's been hard for you Now come back Let me put you in command of a division What about it? Marshal Yes? I mean to work for the establishment of a military academy To nurture young talents for the country Good Brother Fu lp Man, I mean to set up a military academy The greatest reward this Canton trip has brought me is seeing that you have grown up Brother Fu, I still don't get it Why you all have your ulterior motives For your own interest I know, I have failed Master Yu I have failed martial arts practitioners in the south But politics is full of intrigues You are a martial arts natural Put your energy in martial arts Go back to Foshan Brother Fu, what is the military academy you're talking about? Like you, it's for the realisation of my ideals for doing what I really want to do Mr Fu, thank heavens I got here in time Mr Fu, why are you leaving? We have not caught up with each other yet Why the hurry? We have a train to catch, excuse us What Marshal Chu means is that Maybe you can command the Alright, we won't force you then I've brought you Guangdong specialties Come on Five Northern Tigers? Big deal Kid, halt Go! Ensure his safety Yes Yes Martial rivalry is a pain in the neck But Mr Fu, don't worry, it can be resolved Put the gifts into Mr Fu's car Halt Stop! Marshal Come in Lam Ching-shan's gone Gone? He left you this letter Open it Yes Get off Open the gate Foshan Guild Hall Marshal, lp Man's here Marshal Chu lp Man, you know why I've come to see you? Because seeing you is like seeing the old me Twenty years ago, I was a far cry from what I am today I too was filled with passion and zeal For the revolution and my ideals I couldn't care less for my own life Otherwise, men like Fu Jing-wan wouldn't have flocked to my standard What about the present you? I have since learned how to get what I want And I got what I wanted this time And Keep it You think I mean to betray the revolution? Wrong If revolution can make my position secure I'll pull all the stops for revolution So the revolution is just a toy to you Sit down If you or one of the human bombers that assassinated Marshal Lo were to run the country what would happen? I don't know I hear that your Dad is a plantation owner And the business is growing, right? Then you should ask the workers there Do they have any grievances against your dad? Then you ask your dad Running such a big business and managing such a big staff Does he have complaints? The workers are like you discontented young men And your dad is a manager like me Both sides will never see eye to eye Why tell me about this? I need a listener, I need someone to pour out to Why me? Because I know you And I know you will never be a threat lp Man, you know it? Fu Jing-wan's coming to Canton was my idea? What? Yes, he's my man His desertion to the north was my idea I made him go over to Marshal Lo after coming to Canton Now Marshal Lo is dead My plan was a success His mission was accomplished I see But he's still naive He wanted me to carry out my promise of a northern expedition But I couldn't do it I said I would make him a division Commander, but he declined He'd rather be a military academy instructor Brother Fu Actually you and Fu Jing-wan are two of a kind Lam Ching-shan is another kind Here's the letter he left me Marshal, now that Lo Cheung-yee is dead I've outlasted my welcome I am sure I'll be your next target But I love my life very much Hence I have to go without bidding you goodbye But you can rest assured that I won't leak out our secret He's my counsellor and he's done a good job Your girlfriend may not know He used her and the students like pawns He showed her the secret agreement between Cheung-yee and the north It's not for the revolution It's to kill Lo Cheung-yee Lam Ching-shan thinks he's smart But like Fu Jing-wan, he's just another pawn to me So you mean to kill him? Yes, you and Lam Ching-shan belong to two different worlds You are what I used to be He's what I am now Of course I prefer my former self I have to get rid of my present self I could let Fu Jing-wan go I could pour out to you without reservations But Lam Ching-shan, I have to get rid of him He thinks he's smart He thought he could get what he wanted from me Including my daughter He thinks he has slipped away in time But actually my men are waiting for him on the road If you are fast enough You may see him for the last time Fire Split up Freeze! Don't shoot! Drop dead! Don't shoot! Run! Charge! He's out of bullets Don't! Marshal, Brother lp saved my life Marshal lp Man, this is Marshal Ng Marshal Lo's troops are now under his command You never thought of it Marshal Take no prisoners Yes lp Man, how come you are here? Marshal Chu told me about it He must be enjoying this manipulation of others It's like a game to him He can decide on others' life or death, right? But he's wrong It never occurred to him I could survive it I too have something up my sleeves Hey lp Man, this is the battlefield All right Don't take it as a combat in the ring Don't see so highly of yourself The contest was a sham It's just a front The real fight was between me and the others You were not part of it, get it? Like that Chu guy, he thought I killed Marshal Lo for him Wrong, I did it for Marshal Ng Ching-shan, you and I are one We are going to make it big You are too kind I'll always be your man You have my total admiration Come on lp Man, let me tell you You should understand this It's for survival Just like you in the ring If you are not up to par your limbs will be broken We in politics will die if we don't know means fair or foul What about the revolution you told Wing-shing about? This is revolution Commander Ng has troops If I join him I can realise my revolutionary ideals You don't get it? We are of two different worlds And will remain so I really don't understand people like you and what you are doing You don't have to lp Man, go back to Foshan It's a more suitable place for you Yes, I really should go back Throw the bodies down Yes Ching-shan, did you give the young man the bomb? Yes, that's right Why? He died for his ideals Those air-heads asked for it You are despicable I've said it before Their deaths will wake the people up We are talking about human lives This is revolution People die in revolutions It's not a game as you think You were behind Wing-shing's kidnap? Yes, it's my doing You don't get it? The funny thing was that Lo Cheung-yee didn't get it either He failed to see through my trick, no How could you do it to Wing-shing? Marshal he's my fellow townsman, a kin lp Man, listen very carefully Wing-shing is my woman I can do whatever I like with her Go home You belong to the countryside Why did you let him go? I am not done with him yet I really don't get it In revolution's name Brother Lo and Master Mok were crippled My mentor Yu Fung-kau was crippled Brother Ching-shan loves Wing-shing But he asked for Marshal Chu's daughter's hand instead Why did he have to kill Marshal Lo? Why did Marshal Chu want to kill him? Why such intrigues and scheming? Why such lies and subversion? Why such unscrupulousness in the name of revolution? When you came to Canton with your mentor You must have imagined it to be a place of wonders that the martial arts world would allow no evil Those household names were all righteous and loyal But now you are thinking Reality and imagination are two different worlds What you have seen were far from perfect People fight for their own interests They fall on one another You are thinking, what's wrong with this world? Wing-shing, this was what's in my mind And it still baffles me lp Man, I love you I love you Round Two, Love Triangle in Foshan Wing-shing, I am going back to Foshan You said you would see me off Time is running out Sir, it's about time Let's wait for some time more She definitely will come Honey, you remember the first time we met? I gave you an apple Zi, pull up That year, your mom was only seventeen Younger than you are Honey, I said I would take care of you for life Decades have gone by we are now grandparents Let's turn back You are not seeing lp Man off? No Yes lp Man, I know you love me That you are crazy for me I know you will spend your life cherishing me You will protect me with your life Do you know it? I love you too, I really do There's not a moment I don't want to be in your arms I want to look up to your face forever But we are not of the same kind You are a seed that will take root I am a wild swan that will forever keep flying lp man, goodbye Lam Ching-shan Wing-shing, I am in danger I am here to check you out Hear me out, Wing-shing Whatever I do It's for the country and the nation For the millions of people And, for you Goodbye Lam Ching-shan is hereby appointed Secretary of the Department of Industry and Commerce of Guangdong Marshal Ng is something He could reach a deal with Marshal Chu in so short a time Lam Ching-shan is a bad man He can't compare to lp Man What do you mean? Don't pick him I won't, I don't like him at all Then why won't you see lp Man off? We are not right for each other Maybe in our next life Maybe she's been delayed It's alright, we can wait No, if we don't set out now We can't make it back to Foshan today Foshan lp's Mansion Dad, Mom, I am home Dad, Mom, I am home How come no one's here? My son Mom You are home Where were you just now? Ching-shan called us to the backyard He said Ching-shan said we should keep it from him for the time being Why? Marshal, the next step is not to the north But here Foshan? Foshan has been known as one of the four big towns since the Ming Dynasty If you can take Foshan You will have your real territory But it's not so easy Marshal, I told you to let lp Man go It's for this move You have it planned? The lp family is the wealthiest family in Foshan They control the most important silk industry there If you want to take Foshan You first have to win the lp family over I was right about you Don't think lp Man is the only one that has picked up your martial arts I only have stolen a few moves I could already cripple people Don't follow me, or only one of us will be left standing Zi Brawn from Yam Kee You still remember I like brawn? Good you are back Hungry? I am so happy Good you are happy Sit down Let me boil some water for you to freshen up I am happy because you used kung fu in Canton The ban got lifted No it didn't Stop lying to me I know you taught lp Man Wing Chun I didn't, I really didn't I saw it, he used Wing Chun moves How did you know? I saw him using them in the ring I picked them up from him Just a few moves and I could already cripple people But why? To prove that I am Wing Chun material Just by mimicking lp Man I already surpassed him Now that the ban has been lifted You teach me Wing Chun To pay your debt No lp Man, come on You take the seat of honour No, you are the elder, you should take it What the fuss, just sit down Come on I Man, ask Brother Ching-shan to sit down Please sit Come on Brother Ching-shan, what were you talking to Dad and Mom about just now? It's not yet time to reveal to you Just trust me He is now the Secretary of Industry and Commerce Department of Industry and Commerce? Yes, I was worried you would object to it Actually I can tell you about it I mean to unify all entrepreneurs in Foshan for collective investment to boost commerce and industry He said manufacturing is the trend We should invest in it It's about time you picked up the family business You should spend more time on the plantation or the guild Learn the ropes from Brother Ching-shan You start from bookkeeping Yes I've told you, I won't teach you kung fu You owe me Don't force me, don't force me I don't want your apology I want nothing Just teach me Wing Chun No, it's the only thing I can't do I'll say "yes" to anything else Then eat it up Brawn Brawn from Yam Kee Eat it I have nothing Will I ever become rich? I can't read, can I go into business? Will I get a girl? No girls will want a cripple You let Wing Chun die in your hands Wing Chun will disappear from the world Wing Chun is mine I'll kill whoever you pass it to lp's Mansion Wing-shing, why didn't you see me off? Man You have any difficulties with the ledgers? No Did you see Wing-shing in Canton? No I have these books to work on Mom, where are you taking it? Be focused On your letter Wing-shing, it has been several days I am writing to you to see how you are doing Foshan and Canton are just dozens of miles apart Yet they are two different worlds lp Man, you are You are not proposing to Wing-shing, are you?
