I want you to marry me

I'll take you as my wife with an official

ceremony and a grand wedding.

Your father need not worry

Mei Wai! Mei Wai!

Mei Wai, why are you

doing this?

Did you kill my Godfather,

Tin Chi?

Do you work

for the Japanese?

Did you betray your own people

for money, or for power?

It's not as simple

as you think

It's hard to explain

Mei Wai,

please don't leave me!

Listen to me

I beg you.

Please listen!

What other lies do you

want to tell me?

You can't die,

you'll be a mother soon

But you've killed,

you should give yourself in

It won't work! It won't work!

Listen! We should go

somewhere we belong

Where's the letter?

Who came?

Tell me, who came?

No... Nobody

Tell me who was here?

Brother Chung So...

he came to see me just now

I've caused my brother

enough damage,

I don't want to involve

Brother Chung So

Where are you heading?

I've done so much for

your career advancement

Dad even made Ip Man

the culprit for your crime

And you back out because

of this lowly woman!

I've done what you told me.

What more do you want from me?

Kill Ng Chung So;

he's aware that you're working for us

For you, and for us,

whoever gets in the way

should be eliminated

I don't want to

kill any more!

This is not an option!

Tin Chi!

Don't hurt her!

Tin Chi!

I gave you my word

on the honor of a samurai:

You'll be free to leave

after this mission

Don't say that you haven't been

given a second chance!

How can I overcome him?

If you can't do this alone,

we'll form a brother

and sister team

Tin Chi, come out!

Tin Chi, come out quick!

We don't spare traitors in the

Wing Chun Martial Arts School

He's no longer your senior.

Get him out here, now!

Tin Chi!

Tin Chi!

I beg your forgiveness, Master.

I've failed as a teacher

and a leader

Yiu Choi! Yiu Choi!

Master!

Ip Tin Chi, you traitor!

That's no way to treat

your fellow disciples

Watch out, Man!

I will!

Kill him!

Clear the way!

I beat you up, not in revenge

for being framed

But to defend Lee Man Ho,

the Master, and Dad's reputation

Why did you turn traitor when you

were so loved and respected by us?

I'm not a traitor!

I'm a Japanese sergeant,

Tanaka Eiketsu

I left my parents

when I was twelve to

become a spy in China

I miss my country,

I want to go home

I couldn't even see my mother

when she died

I have yet to be able to pay

my respects at her grave

It might not be a bad idea

to die now,

so everything can be ended

I'm a soldier,

which leaves me no choice

I'm relieved now as I've finally

carried out my mission

I don't need to hurt the people

I love any more

It's been a pleasure

to be adopted

by the Ip family and

be your brother

I have no regrets,

as Mei Wai has been my wife

Where's Mei Wai now?

Ip Man...

The essence of Wing Chun is to

follow one's shadow,

not his hand. Focus on what you feel

rather than what you see

Where's Tin Chi?

I feel guilty;

I wasn't able to keep his son

Captain, these crates have just arrived.

They are all Kitano's

Open them for inspection!

Where am I? Who are you?

I want to go home

There's one over here, too!

Help him out

Over here, too!

Any water? Give them some!

Will do!

Easy, get him out!

Dad, a beggar is

unconscious outside

Don't be afraid!

Leave!

Give them some water!

At the critical moment,

he arrived in a hurry

with a long rod in hand,

beating the hell out of

the Japanese with

the authentic Wing Chun

'half-past six' rod style

However, his rod was slashed

into two halves

by your Uncle Tin Chi's

Japanese sword

Yet Tin Chi didn't let go,

he pressed even harder...

by attacking Ip Man

with Karate and Judo

How did my Dad react?

He was very alert;

he immediately used the two half rods

like a pair of wing-shaped swords,

and brandished them frantically,

at times mixing in some

unknown styles,

styles difficult to identify,

to beat his opponent

These mixed movements,

regardless of their authenticity,

were not only powerful

enough to win,

but also good enough

to save my life

From then on, I stopped believing

that martial arts schools

should be segregated to maintain

their own authentic styles

My eyes were opened and

saw a broader horizon

I don't understand how Uncle Tin Chi

picked up Japanese Kung Fu?

Yeah! Why? Why?

As a matter of fact,

your Uncle Tin Chi...

Why stop practicing?

Dad!

Go and do more training and

practice. Hurry! Hurry!

Let's go and practice!

Telling stories again,

Brother Chung So?

You've gone over them

thousands of times

The thing is, every time

it's a new story to them

You're right! Children should

know about their past

Pay full attention

when you practice.

You are not allowed to eat

before you're done

Dinner's ready, Jun!

Stop the training.

Come and eat, everybody!

Dad says I have to practise

well before I can eat

What's more important?

Martial Arts or food?

Food! Dad!

All right!

Take a good rest.

Practise more after you eat

Eat!
