THE BODYGUARD
A YUE SONG FILM
LENGCHENG
Who stepped on my ice cream?
Hey, hold on.
I can also do splits.
Brother, your Iron Fist has improved a lot.
It's still nothing compared to yours.
And what?
It's still just a beginner move.
Is our Master still well?
Still holding that grudge?
Are you holding a grudge?
He came with me this time.
Master, forgive me!
I won't steal the Boots of Iron again.
There is no room for a scoundrel like you here.
Leave.
Master!
I really want to learn Kung Fu of the Iron Kick.
You don't deserve it.
Why not?
I don't deserve it? And Wu does?
Why...?
Mr. Fu.
I've told you everything I know. Please, don't kill me.
Mr. Fu, something has happened?
The only fate for traitors is extermination.
Sorry, no weapons beyond this point.
Please.
Brother, everyone in my bodyguard company is a champion in his own right.
Just lacking you.
Boss, Mr. Li has already arrived.
This is it?
I want that one.
Brother, I know your Kung Fu is quite good.
But the world has changed.
If you run into problems.
Talk to me.
Don't make rash decisions.
Do you still remembers the Iron Kick's ancestral principle?
The protector always dedicates everything to his employer.
I'm leaving.
Brother.
Don't you have anything else to say to me?
No, I don't.
Fine, go.
Do you know why I chose you?
Because I saved you.
That's one reason.
The most important reason is that.
You are a simple man.
- Miss. Let's have some fun. - Fuck off!
- Brother! Brother! - Get her!
Let me go!
Stop!
Faye.
Get out of the away!
Are you asking for trouble?
Go to the police station.
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed not be connected...
...for the moment, please redial later.
Whatever he's paying you.
I'll double it if you leave right now.
You don't want to see me angry?
Do you know what this is?
You be singing with the angels if my fingers slips.
I am telling you, when I get angry even hell freezes over.
Being my bodyguard is very dangerous.
You'll have to dodge bullets every day.
How many lives do you have left? Huh?
So, Mr. "Hero," where you from?
Wudang mountain? Emei? Shaolin?
I'll buy you a train ticket back to the mountain.
The city is dangerous. Just go back.
This is for your own good.
Looking like a Rambo doesn't make you a bodyguard.
Do you know who I am?
Faye Li, the daughter of the wealthiest family in Lengcheng.
Born on the 15th of March, 1991.
169 cm, blood type "O." Pisces.
Character: Spoiled, reckless, stubborn, arrogant and despotic.
With no special skills whatsoever.
Your hobbies are shopping, shopping and shopping.
You're an asshole, you know?
Oh, and your measurements are 32-27-35.
But looking at you now... maybe you exaggerated.
You're really disgusting, you know?
I like you so whether you like or not, I'm going to protect you.
What about if I need to take a shower?
I'm afraid professional bodyguard don't offer that kind of special services.
You call yourself bodyguard? Can't even drive a car.
Your jacket must be warm.
Keep your eyes on the road.
- Don't touch me. - Shit! Stop!
What the hell are you laughing for? What's wrong? Come here!
What's wrong with you? Every part of your body belongs to me.
Hi.
He told me to hit you.
I don't know her.
Don't run, stop!
Help me!
Stop, you bitch!
- Don't you have any sympathy? - Say sorry and I'll help you.
Mr. Hero Sir, I'm sorry.
I'm telling you, you better let me handle that bitch!
That doesn't concern you.
Let me go!
Say it once more.
Brother...
Please don't let go.
My fault, I'm sorry...
It's too big for me.
I can't take it.
Now you know what a beast he is?
It is too terrifying.
What a hero.
Do you know why I keep this tiger?
Men cannot go against what fate has determined already.
Mr. Fu, don't worry. Everything is under your control.
You said... I can go against my destiny?
Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu, you are the destiny itself.
- Put the glass down! - What's wrong?
Something's wrong with the wine.
Who are you?
Miss Li, did we offend you somehow?
My friend said the wine has a problem.
There shouldn't be.
That's what you always drink.
See, no problem.
The wine is expired.
Demented redneck barbarian... so embarrassing!
I never want to see him again.
Let me go you bastard!
Put me down!
Save me, help!
Sorry!
Don't touch me, go away!
Hey Mr. "Hero," can't you just give me a break?
Hey mate, didn't your mother tell you not to hit a lady?
Did you fucking hear me?
- Someone's looking for trouble! - Help!
Get him off!
How did you know the waitress wasn't real?
When you learn Kung Fu your intuition develops.
Although they are disguised as waitresses.
They can't hide their expressions and body language.
Let go!
Put me down!
I don't realize you are such a detective.
Does your father have many enemies?
I don't know. But, I've been protected by bodyguards since I was small.
So I really dislike them.
But you are not that bad.
You aren't that looking if only you'd change your style a bit.
There are many suits in the guest room. Pick one as a gift.
I still prefer my style.
How come you are as stubborn as my father?
Your father really loves you.
I think it's time for you to go do some splits.
You are like a son to the boss.
I hope you won't disappoint him.
You don't need to tell me what I should do.
The boss wants you to remember... success requires sacrifices.
Wu.
Your body was unique already when you were born.
Like you were born to practice Kung Fu of the Iron Kick.
I will leave you the way of 108 kicks.
Use it well.
Keep going!
Wu, tell me... can people change?
Haven't you already changed?
I've changed because the world changed.
Take a look.
This was once the biggest steel mill in Lengcheng.
But soon it will be my bodyguard company's new base.
From here the spirit of the Iron Kick will shine over Lengcheng.
From tomorrow you no longer need to protect Li's daughter.
Okay.
Why?
You don't need to ask.
You only need to obey orders.
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
You in love with her or something?
The protector always dedicates everything to his employer.
You're too young to know the world. Nothing is as simple as you think.
We are brothers, shouldn't hide things from each other.
You keep the secrets of the Boots of Iron from me.
Brother...
There's nothing left to say, he's given the Boots of Iron to you.
I have important things to do. Don't stand in my way.
Do you really have to sacrifice others for that?
Yes, success requires sacrifices.
Master always said you are a natural talent in martial arts.
Now I'll give you a chance to prove it.
Use your legs!
Show me the way of 108 kicks.
We're no longer brothers. You mean nothing to me from now on.
Yes, success requires sacrifices.
Don't hate daddy. Success requires sacrifices.
Are you okay?
Is my father in danger?
Right now, you're the one in danger.
What can we do? What if we call Police?
The people who want to catch you, are too powerful.
Calling the police would expose us.
We need to keep low profile, stay hidden.
We'll wait until your father comes for us. He will know what to do.
Chop him to pieces!
Kid, from now on you work for me.
Like hell I am?
At least you won't be fighting with dogs for your next meal.
I know it is a hard choice...
...but we really can't go against the Boss.
How come your boots so high? Are they heavy?
25 kilos.
Each.
- How long have you wearing them? - Eight years.
Are you going to wear them for the rest of your life?
Ten years. After that I can take them off.
Ten years? Teach me some Kung Fu?
You have to pay.
Hi.
Wake up.
How come there's no heartbeat?
Hey, get up.
You scared me! Your heart wasn't beating.
My heart grew to the right side.
What about your breathing?
I can hold my breath.
The protector always dedicates everything to his employer.
Fo Mian.
Go to the police station.
I killed your wife 15 years ago.
From then on, I knew you would betray me.
But I always wanted to know how you do it.
You collected so much information on me.
What do you want?
You're dying, I won't do anything to you.
But I'll let you watch your daughter die.
Don't harm my daughter, come for me!
I was able to control Lengcheng for the past 20 years.
Because I could sacrifice anyone.
Kill me! Kill me!
Take him back down.
If you can't, Scarface will.
Do you know... why I chose you?
You are a simple man.
If I don't come back, please give this to my daughter.
No matter how headstrong my daughter is.
Keep protecting her.
Can you promise me that?
I will protect her no matter what happens.
I know you carry a secret in your heart.
If you don't want to tell me what it is.
I will not force you.
You have to remember.
Hate will only bring more hate.
Don't believe that everyone has a predetermined destiny.
Your destiny is in your own hands.
Boss, we found them on the seaside.
You are not yet as good as Wu.
You need another plan.
Get them!
Let me go! Help!
No!
After I make something of myself, I will come back to get you and master.
Everyone in this world has their own destiny.
Faye.
You're all grown up, and Daddy to getting old too.
They told me I have cancer... Fourth stage-liver cancer.
I don't have much time left...
So before I go...
I want to bring your mother's murderer to justice.
But I don't want to involve you in settling these accounts.
I've already enrolled you in a school in France.
I hope...
...that you can live a peaceful...
...and happy life.
Jiang, I'll come and show you the way of 108 kicks.
Wait for me.
Wu.
Young man, I didn't expect you to be brave enough to come here alone.
You are not afraid to die?
Success requires sacrifices... right?
Who you are?
I'm just a young wolf abandoned by an old wolf.
Take a look!
So many years have gone by... how have you been?
Every night I have the same nightmare...
...do you?
There's nothing to worry about.
Why are you still Lengcheng? Everyone is trying to get you.
What about the shipment?
Police are checking it, I didn't expect them to be so fast.
I'm the one who informed the police.
Why did you do that?
You could have given me to the police, why did you sell out my wife?
You know too much of my affairs, I can't let police have you.
No, my daughter is only six years old. She can't live without a mother.
You, your wife and Faye. These three lives together...
...or your wife alone. Your choice.
Boss, your son and Faye are in danger.
Run.
Your son's physique is strange.
His energy flows so strong that to balance it...
...everyone around him will be weak.
He's deadly. Your wife died in childbirth...
...and then everything went wrong in your life.
All of this originates from your son.
Everyone in this world has their own destiny.
Your destiny is your son.
He is a freak.
Success requires sacrifices.
Don't come looking for me in your next life.
Well done, you're so persistent, how come you're still alive?
You threw your own son down the cliff.
How could you be so cruel?!
If I weren't so cruel, would you be so strong now?
I trained my skills because I knew this day would come.
I didn't expect the world to be so small, I found you so soon.
I've been living incognito for 15 years.
Avoiding all my enemies.
But I couldn't avoid our family's destiny.
Since the heavens have let me see you again.
Let's see how good you really are.
Son.
Show your old man-- are you faster than a bullet?
Will you betray me too?!
I let you help me start the bodyguard company.
Because I wanted to develop the spirit of Iron Kick.
I didn't expect to be downgraded to your personal gangster squad.
I obeyed your wishes for so many years just to pay the meal you once offered me.
But when you made me bury my own brother alive...
...my debt was paid.
All my life I wanted to learn the way of 108 kicks.
Brother, let me see the secrets of the Iron Kick.
Wu, be careful!
Why was the Master so biased?
Brother, I always thought I had the most pitiful fate...
...but actually yours is worse.
With all those bad things I did, I deserve an end like this.
You must live on for the spirit of the Iron Kick.
Don't look at me like that.
Only the strongest will survive in this world.
You already have the strongest will.
If we worked together we would be invincible.
No!
Did you forget that this freak's heart leans to the right?!
Yes, you indeed are my son.
You're even more cunning than I am.
When you were born your mother died.
Then your master, your brother.
Now finally it is my turn.
I hid for 15 years, but still couldn't escape from you.
People like you... shouldn't exist in this world!
Go ahead! Kill me.
Everything I have will be yours.
I will not kill you, I will not become the tragedy like you are.
I couldn't escape my destiny, it will be the same for you!
One day you will be exactly like me!
Everyone has their own destiny.
Daddy, I'm leaving now.
All these years I was so horrible, I didn't understand anything.
But I'm grown up now.
I can take care of myself.
Father, I will not be like you.
You only saw the darkness of this world.
But I see the hope.
