"WUSHU WARRIOR- sync  erase [ ]s by springbay-xuanvinhsaigon" " Ah!" " Go!" " I would hazard our friends, the Hong merchants, are prospering under your able governorship, my friend?" " They grow rich and show their appreciation." "But there is one last fly that buzzes around my face." "Reverend Elders grows too bold." " He'll be dealt with before the next shipment arrives." "Ah!" " Oh, the lovely Priscilla!" " Forgive the intrusion, Father." "I just wanted to bid you goodnight." " That's my girl." "Now to bed." "The Governor and I have dreary business to discuss." " Goodnight." " Sleep well, my darling." "Dream beautiful dreams." " Ah, Reverend Elders!" "Speak of the devil." " Your Lordship." "I must appeal to you." "This must stop." "Smuggling opium, kidnapping villagers for transport to forced labour..." " We're doing nothing wrong." "In fact, under the Treaty of Lorcha, it's entirely legal." " I know you're selling British Army rifles to the Hong merchants." " Now, that is a serious charge." " My only consolation is the knowledge that tonight's opium shipment lies at the bottom of the harbour." "He is setting up his own private army." " A detail we don't need public." " I shall see to it that every MP and every newspaper here and in England knows the true story." " I'm afraid you won't, Reverend." "We can't have Heaven interfering with our earthly plans." "Business will go on." "You, unfortunately, will not." "[Grunting]" "Wait." "[Groaning]" "Before you die, let me assure you that I am not without feeling." "I would not send you from this world alone." "Your son... will follow you tonight." "This is the third such ambush in as many months." "Opium is the currency of our business, and I will tolerate no more meddling in my affairs." " Come here." "Chu-Shu, keep an eye on him." "Chu-Shu, go and get Chen." "Quickly!" "There, quickly." " What's happening?" " Stay here no matter what." "Promise?" " Promise." " The boy, where is he?" " He isn't here." "He's staying with a friend." " You think you can fool me, woman?" "I'll ask you once more." "Where's the boy?" " He's away." " Where's the boy?" "Speak!" " He's away!" " Tell me!" "Where is he?" "Ah!" "You have spirit." "It will be useful in the next world!" " Who's there?" " Come!" "Governor Fung will want to hear of this." " Throw him with the others." " It's me they wanted!" "I should have done something." " There was nothing you could do." "Now come." "We cannot stay here." " Father!" "Where is Father?" " They are going to pay for this!" "They must have found out about Elders!" "We have to get his son far away as possible!" " Lindsey is too well-connected." "There is nowhere the child can hide, not safely." " Then what are we to do with him?" " We'll take him to Xidong Village." "Uncle Pei will know what to do." " Where am I?" " [Mai]:" "Grey one?" " Wort whistle." " Pink one?" " Belladonna." " Black one?" " Cloud Shade." " Yay!" "Good, good, good." " If Chen wishes this, then I will certainly do it." " I think Chen completely wrong." "Let the foreigners kill each other!" "It will save us the trouble." " Tell him that I will do as he wishes." "You look like a cross between a peacock and a swan." "What am I to call you?" " My name is Jonathan." "Terrible things happened." "And I don't know what happened to my father." " Your father is dead." "I'm sorry." "First, you mourn." "Then we'll see... what place we can find for you... in this world." " That is your job, not mine." " I too busy!" "To fit in, you have to do a lot!" " No." " Did you say no?" " Hey, cut it out!" " Yeah?" "Why should I?" " Hmm!" " You are a disgrace to our village!" "Go play with your foreign devil!" " Are you all right?" " I'm fine." "What was that?" "It was incredible." " It's called Wushu;" "it's a martial art." " How do you know English?" " Uncle Pei teaches us." "He says the way to know how your enemy thinks is to learn the way they speak." " Why didn't anyone tell me before?" " You're still an outsider here." "You don't fit in." " I don't think you are here for an English lesson." " I want to learn Wushu." " You think... you can master the art of ages?" " Yes." "I'll give you everything I have." " We have never shared our ways with a foreigner before." "But I will teach you." "Within you, there is a dragon." "Come." "Try and hit me." "You must learn to do what I ask, without questions." "Try." "Put something into it!" "But there is one condition." " Anything." " This must be our secret." "Tell no one what we are doing." "You are doing well... for a foreigner." " Ah!" "I see Uncle Pei has been teaching you some tricks." " He knows many things besides English." " I never thought I would see this." "It's nice." " Never assume you have the upper hand, my darling." " Yes, Pa." " Mistress, your plant-studies instructor is waiting." " Off you go." " Of course, Papa." " You must empty yourself, become one with everything." " I'm trying." " That's your trouble." "You must let the dragon be you." "Wushu is a meditation." "It's not made for hate or revenge." " They killed my father and Ding." " You must let it go." "The past is the past." "Seek inside, and never let your feelings rule your actions, ever!" " Our little lost English boy has become a strong young man." " But he's half of what he was meant to be." " Wushu is for the Chinese." "It can never be understood by outsiders." " Leave us, young friend." "We have business to discuss." "The Hong merchants are gathering." "The shipment must have arrived." " The roads are all watched." "How could it happen?" " The English know many tactics." "They surely know just what strings to pull on." " We have to find out where they are taking the opium." " I can get the information for you." "For once, being a foreigner is good." "I can move through the British concession unnoticed." "This is my fight, too." " Perhaps it is time." " I am honoured you have interest in my store." " These are the things I need." " These creatures only love their weakness." " Where do they go?" "What do they see?" " They drift where their thoughts lead them." "But their dreams are empty." "You must always be strong." "There is no place in your life for such empty dreams." " Witchcraft and sorcery are fine, but they have their limitations." " There is more to it than that." "The only limitations are knowledge and one's willingness to use it." " Your knowledge wasn't very useful in there." " As you know, each of you has been handpicked and given provinces to control by my good friend the Governor." "We've given you an endless supply of opium and addicts to consume it." "We've given you the right to enslave your people and send them to work on plantations around the empire." "You, the Hong merchants, have been well rewarded for your efforts." " Our gratitude is yours, and our special thanks." " We need more, 50,000 more slaves, for our western estates and plantations." " That can't be done!" " Which is why we are increasing your quota of opium distribution." " Hey!" "You!" " What are you doing?" " Jonathan!" "Jonathan!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Jonathan!" "Hurry up!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "We gotta go!" " This is for my father!" " Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Jonathan, let's go!" " Jonathan." " Jonathan!" " Hey!" " Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" "Cha!" " Look out!" " After them!" "Move, you fools!" " Hey!" "Stop!" "Hey!" " Cha!" "Cha!" " Ah!" " I had him!" "He was right there!" " Don't worry!" "There'll be another chance." " Idiots!" " Who the hell is she?" " It's Lindsey's daughter!" " What do we do with her?" " Throw her in the devil's water!" " Close it!" " I want every soldier in Shanghai looking for her." " Immediately, sir." " I also want a reward posted for information leading to her release." "God gave you legs to carry out my wishes." "If they don't move in the next 5 seconds..." "I'll have them cut off." " We're here, miss." "It would be good if you got off now." "Otherwise, I'll have to carry you." " I see Jonathan knows how to handle a woman." " What's this?" " We had to borrow a carriage to get away." "She was in it." " It's Lindsey's daughter." " We didn't know what to do with her." " Pei-Shu, we could use her as a bargaining chip." " We are not kidnappers." "I don't like this." "We'll keep her until morning and decide then." "[Chen]:" "It's a list of villages." "It tells all the merchants how many people to enslave." "They drug our people and send them to forced labour." "[Wang]:" "Is there no end to their evil?" "[Pei]:" "We have to warn the villages." "[Wang]:" "I'll go." "[Chen]:" "See to it." "You did well today." " Goodnight." " You all right?" " I saw the man who had my father killed." " How did you feel?" " I didn't know you could hate another person so much." " You have to let go." " I can't." "I don't know how." " The news?" " Nothing, sir." " I thought you might be hungry." "So... here's breakfast." " Thank you." " Might not be what you're used to, but it's good." " Do you care to join me?" " I shouldn't." "I have things to do." " Like kidnapping other young English girls?" " We didn't hurt you." "We didn't know you were there or you were Lindsey's daughter." " What do you know of my father?" "He's a wonderful man." "He's done everything for me." "And he's been a good friend to the Chinese people." " You mean the Manchu Governor and the Hong merchants." " In the city, all of the Chinese respect him." " He has brought nothing but pain and hardship to my people." " Where did you get that "your people" stuff?" "You're not Chinese." "Jonathan..." "I know who you really are." " Well?" " Notices are everywhere, sir, and we're searching homes for anyone that might have been involved in yesterday's events." " And they know not to be gentle in their questioning." " That they do, sir." " I've come to offer my help." " Those bloody swine!" " They are like the fog." "They come in stealth... and disappear." "But this time, someone will talk." "I propose to double your reward." " Your generosity moves me." " Hey, hey!" "What's troubling you?" " The girl we brought here." " Yes." " She knew my name." " Perhaps she heard Tian say it on the boat." " She says she knows who I really am." " So do I." "You're Jonathan of Xidong Village, an orphan we took in... as one of our own." " She meant who I was before I came here." " Life is about who you are, not who you were." " I want to kill her father, but she seems so... nice, helpless." "I don't know." " Don't think about it too much." "Life is simple." " I hope you enjoyed the show." " It--it wasn't me;" "I didn't see anything." " So you mean I'm nothing?" " No." "You're really something." " So... you were watching." " No." "I mean... not..." " Queen of Skies, Mistress of Night, grant me power to escape this place." "Make truth from lies, and pity my plight." "Let Jonathan believe my face." " I can tell;" "you are your father's seed." "The shoot bends as the branch before." " I have no idea what you're talking about." " Here, there has always been shelter for those in need." "You will never know what true peace is." " I know what will happen when my father finds you." " I know." "I know." "It--it's my fault." " Oh, I wouldn't be so hard on myself, sir." " No, no." "I accept full responsibility." "You know, they say this is priceless." "My daughter... is priceless." "And who do I put in charge of finding her?" "A raving... drivelling... second-rate incompetent!" " Won't you join me?" "Give me your hand." "Give me your hand." "See?" "We're alike." "We're both English, not Chinese." "We were born in the West." " I was born here." "My mother died having me." "Your father had my father killed." " Who told you that?" " Chen." "He was the one who saved me." " He's obviously the one who killed your father." " That's not true." " They've obviously filled your head with stories." "And now they're going to kill me as well." " That's rubbish." "No one is going to hurt you." " Do you think they can let me go now?" "Now that I know where you are?" "Jonathan..." " What you're saying is all lies." " But what if it isn't?" "Jonathan, I'm so frightened." "Please hold me." " Chen wants to see you." "[Chen, echoing]:" "Are you all right, Jonathan?" "[Jonathan, echoing]:" "What are you staring at?" "[Xi Guay, echoing]:" "A complete fool." " Look at me." "I'm not from here." "All these years, and I still don't belong!" " Lindsey is torturing innocent people to find his daughter." " What did you expect?" "We started this." "[Xi Guay]:" "Even a beautiful snake can be treacherous." " Then what did you want?" "[Wang, echoing]:" "I still say we should get rid of her." " Put these on." "[Wang]:" "It's the only way to stop them." "[Chen]:" "No." " Um..." "Help me." "Come with me." "[Wang]:" "Let me take care of it." "I will do it." " Thank you." "We were meant for each other." " Not so far away... yet not near." "In a village by the water... there is an old man and a younger man who are blocking the way." " I was afraid this would occur." " Wang wants her dead." "I heard him." " Wang is hot-headed and full of anger." "Chen and I would never allow it." "[Lindsey]:" "What else do you see?" " The young one... he has the power of the dragon." "He seeks... but cannot find." "If this one find the fire of the dragon, we are all of us in danger." " You are going nowhere." " Hyah!" "Hyah!" " I have a score to settle with your dragon." " Help!" "Someone!" " When I find him..." "I'll send him to the eighth level of hell." " How is he?" " He's been poisoned, with Moon Shade and Spider's Claw." " Is there something I can do?" " The only way to fight poison is with poison." "What we need is the Song of Midnight." " Where can I find it?" " It's a silver flower that grows among blue leaves." "The only place I've seen it is in Governor Fung's garden." " I'll go at once." " No, you can't!" " I have to." "I've been such a fool." "If anything happens to Uncle Pei..." "I've made it wrong." "Now I'll make it right." " I am happy you are safe and sound." " Are you certain you're all right, my darling?" " I'm fine, Daddy." "They're imbeciles, really." "Especially that Jonathan." "I can't believe you let him get away." " Don't fret." "He'll pay." "They'll all pay." " Mmm..." " Hiyah!" " You shouldn't have come for me." " Quick." "We better move." "They'll send more men soon." " You idiots!" "Do you have any idea of risk you were taking?" " Uncle Pei?" " He is still among us, only barely." " Go!" " Jonathan..." "You have the world's... biggest heart." "But there's... work to be done... on what goes on... in this head of yours." " I made your favourite." "Mushroom with eggplant." " You shouldn't have." " I know that." "I wanted to." " Nothing will ever be the same again." "We'll have to leave the only place I've ever known as home." "Has Chen decided where we're going?" " He picked out a safe place downriver." "We'll leave in groups after dark and meet at the temple ruins." " Can I come, too, Papa?" " No, my darling." "You've had enough adventures for a while." " But I want to see you punish those men who were so mean to me." "Please?" " All right." " That's the wretched little pigsty they kept me in." " Come." "They can't have gone far." " Isn't Father wonderful?" " Yes, His Lordship is most impressive." "I've decided to do him a great honour." "I've decided to marry you." "It will cement our alliance." " What an amazing idea!" "[Chen]:" "Where's Jonathan?" " Wang, have you seen him?" " He stay behind." " Ah!" "My young friend, have you learned nothing from our time together?" "Vengeance is not the path of the dragon." "There is a fire in you, Jonathan, but it's fed by a darkness." "When the stars are right, the dragon's heart will show you the way." "Let's go!" "No!" " NO!" "NO!" " I think it's high time you learned some manners." "[Grunting]" " Ah!" " After him!" "Go!" "Shoot the boy!" " Chen!" " Let's go!" "[Lindsey]:" "Your arrival was very timely." " Daddy." "Daddy, the most dreadful thing just happened." " Don't fret, my darling." "Young Jonathan's used up all his luck." " No, it's not that." "Fung wants to marry me!" " The audacity." "On the other hand, if he were to, um, expire during his sleep, no one would question the cause." " Perhaps even on our wedding night." " We've captured the head of the dragon!" " What did you learn?" " Lindsey's daughter is to marry Governor Fung." " This could work for us." "With everyone at the Governor's residence, we could search Lindsey's home for some clues." " What about Chen?" " Chen will be there." "He is to be executed during the wedding feast." "[Wang]:" "What?" " When?" " Two days' time." " Where?" " At the Fungs' mansion." " That's not a lot of time." " But it will have to do." "It's all we have." "Come on!" " And how is the widow-to-be?" " I feel ridiculous." "But I'd feel even more foolish if I didn't take that monstrosity for everything he's worth." " I can't tell you how proud I am." "Ladies and gentlemen, please permit me, as father of the bride, to make a toast." "I can think of no one I would prefer as son-in-law than the honourable Governor Fung." "May you both find... eternal happiness." "To make this day truly memorable," "I offer as a wedding gift, and for your general entertainment... the leader of the scourge that has terrorized our community!" "Tonight, Manchu and English justice will swing as one, bringing to an end... this worthless life." " But first, for your pleasure... may I present the finest performer of the Szechuan Opera, the Master of Masks!" "[Lindsey]:" "Bravo!" " You!" "Come here!" "You're quite astonishing, you know." "And I'm not often impressed." "Show me your true face." "I said show me your face, little dancer." " You heard her." "Our patience runs out." " Predictable to the end." "Just like your father." " Ah!" " Ah!" " Jonathan!" " Let me show you the proper way to handle a woman." " Daddy!" "Daddy..." "Daddy, are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "Daddy?" " Hey!" "It was I who killed your father!" "I'm the one you want!" " You're nothing but a pawn." "But you'll kill no more of my people." " Come on." " No!" " Lord Lindsey, with great respect," "I've come to claim my wife, my property." " Business, yes." "Business." " Please, Daddy." "Please, Daddy, don't make me." " It's going to be all right." " Don't make me." " It's going to be all right." " Please." "Daddy." " So our little Wushu dragon finally learned to breathe fire." " It's hard to believe I used to push you into the river." "So... how did you do it?" " I just, uh..." "I saw Lindsey with Xi Guay." " The question is, can you do it again?"
