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
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
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
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
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
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...
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
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
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...
