Duel of Fists

---

Fan Ke...

What do you want?

I'm looking for Engineer Mr. Fan,

it's urgent

He can't hear you, you'll have to go up

Fine

Fan Ke

Go back down, it's dangerous

The master has asked for you

I cannot come now

He says you'll have to, no matter what

It's urgent

Please cover for me, I'll be right back

Sure

What's going on?

I've just had my training today

I don't think it'd be about that

Someone from Thailand is visiting Master

He asked for you after talking to the man

Here you are

Everyone

Chen, what do you think?

Dad

You called me back for a demonstration?!

Come here, and greet Uncle Chen

Uncle Chen, hello

I've known Uncle Chen for 20 years,

since when,

I went to Thailand for boxing matches

I'll go to Thailand with him

day after tomorrow

Got some business to take care of

Please take some days off at work

You'll have to be in charge here

I can't do that, dad

I'm an engineer

There're plenty of engineers in this world

But only a few

have martial arts training like you

Just let the

other engineers back you up

In that case...

You've a heart condition,

you shouldn't travel

Don't worry about me

Come, let's catch up

Sure

Stop it, I've work to do

Sir

I know

presently it's not right to take time off

But my father is very stubborn

And he's got a heart condition

He insists on it.

I tried speaking to him last night

You should know that...

When the project

reaches its crucial stage,

You'll have to be here

I understand

Excuse me

Mr. Fan, you've a call

Yes

What now? I'm at work

What?

I mean, he was alright this morning!

Fine, I'll be right over

My father's had a heart attack

He's in the hospital now

I've got to rush there

Mai, please cover for me

The foremen know about the project

Fan Ke

Where's my father?

You are the patient's son?

Yes

Miss, can we go inside?

I'm afraid not

Dad

Doctor, how is he?

Let him speak, don't disobey

He...

There's a picture in the drawer

This one? I've seen it

However you might not know him

He's your elder brother

My brother?

Please

don't let the patient get emotional

Twenty three years ago

When I used to promote martial arts

I lived in Thailand for about six months

And I became involved with a Thai girl

Then I came home

Your mother was still alive

I didn't bring

the Thai girl along with me

Sometime later she gave birth to him

After the child was born...

Uncle Chen has been looking out for her

But later she refused his help

And Chen lost contact with her

Once she brought the child's picture...

and found Uncle Chen

She requested him to pass it to me

We've never heard from her since then

Uncle Chen doesn't even know his name

Recently...

He's just heard that...

This kid is now a professional boxer

I was planning to look him up in Thailand

Don't worry, dad. I'll locate him

I know you will.

There're many boxers in Thailand

Look at this photograph

There's a tattoo on his left arm

Son, you must find him... you must!

I will, father

Don't worry, I will go right away

I will find my brother

Papa!

Mr. Fan, the patient...

One, Two, Three, Four, Five

Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten

Wenlie will definitely win

Look at him! Of course he will

That's right

Mr. Xu

Another win

From fighting in the back alleys

To now in the ring

You've built up your reputation

And the bets on you are getting bigger

I'm a boxer, not a gambler

Here, this is your share

I've never been so rich

Not before, now you've money

Similar to your career path

You've become an acclaimed boxer

From fighting in the back alleys

This is your pay.

I'll be your manager hereafter

I have someone doing that already

Is that so?

Look at him now

Do you think he can continue?

Stop it

You think it over

We're very flexible about the pay

I'll give you a day to think about it

And don't forget

the match a few days later

The one with Cannon

Yes

Come in

Mr. Qiangren, Wenlie won't listen

In his next match...

Get Cannon to punch him to death

Yes, about Miller, he's also...

Take care of Miller first

Wenlie

Yulan, why didn't you ask me...

whether I won or lost today?

It doesn't matter

To me, you are always the champion

But I have to especially win...

the match with Cannon on the day after

You are going up against Cannon?

Wenlie, listen to me, cancel the match

Why?

Cannon is the Thai boxing champion

Couple of boxers have been beaten...

to death by him in the ring earlier

Don't worry,

I know about Cannon's skills...

more than you do

Do you mean that you WILL win?

You tell me

I must win, I've got to!

Bets have already been placed

The odds are fifteen to one

Most'll bet on me losing, but I've to win

Wenlie, you always emphasize that...

You're a boxer, not a gambler

I've no choice.

The other day I took Mom for check-up

She has to be operated on soon

I'll need to come up with the money

Yulan, I have no other way...

except winning this match with Cannon

You just got here, rest a while

No, I have to go right now

You've given me

addresses of a few boxing clubs

What am I waiting for?

Alright, I'll go with you

I can manage on my own

There're lots of Chinese in Bangkok

I can ask my way around

Just lend me your car

Be careful, and don't get in any fights

Uncle Chen, I'm an engineer not a boxer

Today is the Songkran festival

Try not to get splashed at

Mister,

you don't seem to be from around here?

I'm from Hong Kong

Chinese love to watch Thai Boxing

Look, the boxers are all so smart

My picture used to be on the wall once

It was there for everyone to admire

Sir, so you are a boxer!

Yes, I was

But since after my last fight...

I stayed in the hospital

for three months

And then I've turned into an alcoholic

Please buy me a drink, Mister

Don't drink too much,

it's not good for you

Young man, what you're saying...

is too late to an old drunk like me

Sir, just a moment please

What's this boxer's name?

He... He's called a dead man

A dead man?

Yes, he will be one; after today

Why's that?

Have a look at the program

He's fighting with Cannon this afternoon

Cannon?

The Thai Boxing Champion

We haven't had

one quite ruthless in years

He's already beaten

two to death in the ring

He can't kill everyone though!

Well, true...

But this afternoon...

The odds that

Miller gets beaten to death...

are eight to one

Many are betting on Miller's survival

But I know

I know how it works

Miller will die

8 to 1; Qiangren can earn a lot this time

His name's Miller?

What do you want?

I'm looking for Miller

Go away

I'm looking for Miller

Miller...

Why're you looking for him?

It's something urgent

Please lead me to him

The match is about to begin

You'll see him on the ring

No, the word is he'll get killed today

Hence I must meet him now

Who told you so?

I need to see him

Guys

Stop it

Wenlie, this is none of your business

You're beating people up for no reason

Let's go

Did they hurt you?

Oh no

You are...

A boxer. I'd suggest you please leave
