Master lp leave the chores to me
You don't see me as a friend?
I can be your friend?
Why not?
Master lp this Li guy is worse than Ng Pak-lam
Many men have died under him
Belly never full
Body going weak
Scorching sun
A slow death
What have I done?
To deserve this torture
A bullet to the head
Is just a relief
To be born again
Just don't be in Foshan
You all shut up
What are you doing?
Why are you hitting them?
Lp Man is this a revolt?
You are just an inmate
You mean a jailbreak?
Inmates have their rights too
There's no law allowing hitting of inmates
You can be the goddess of mercy
Yet you can't interfere with the way I run the prison
lp Man don't you forget I call the shots here
Go back to work... come on... and be smart
This Li guy is ruthless
He calls the shots here stay calm
Halt
Why are you hitting our own people?
He killed my mentor
lp Man is innocent
Why would he kill? You fool
Let go of me
You killed my big brother I'll avenge him
Chun-loi is in Hong Kong I have met him
You're lying
Big Eye Ching don't go too far!
It's not your business
Stop it! Take it easy
That's enough
Guys calm down
They want to kill me to avenge Chun-loi
They think they are in the right
Big Eye Ching give me some time to prove my innocence
If I fail to do that I'll be executed
So let's have peace for the time being
They've tortured you I have to file a complaint
No it's just an accident Don't worry about it
Wing-shing the imprisonment is meaningful in some sense
Only in here can I truly see the plight of the Foshan people
I have to do something for them
But you have to be out first
No I have to do it now
What are you going to do?
Don't worry it's not a mass jailbreak
I mean to write to Canton to appeal for help
The Nationalist Government is a progressive government
They won't let Ng Pak-lam do whatever he likes
But what if Ng has help in Canton?
He may have connections with one or two officials
I don't believe he has every official in his pocket
Alright let's go for it
I don't think they have doctored Chun-loi's declaration
They just changed the fingerprint on the Sangyuan document
Where can we find Yim Chun-loi's other documents?
The police
Brother lp Man... what are you doing?
I am writing a letter
To your family?
No an appeal letter for you all to Canton
You are somebody you can pull strings there
I don't have to know anybody there
The law is our protection
I don't get it
You will in time
Oh yes what's your name?
I... have no name
Others call me Big Ox Yes...
But you can call me Little Ox
I'll call you Big Ox too Sure
Foshan Prison
From lp Man
Sir...
Police Station
Archive Room
Fighting Cases
Brother lp there are people in Canton who will help us?
I believe so
Who?
The Nationalist Government
Government? That means no one
Actually I don't count on others
If I knew martial arts like you do
The soldiers give you wide berth though they have guns
Big Ox let me pass you some moves
Then you won't be beaten up all the time
Mentor my obeisance
Big Ox I am not taking you as my disciple
If you want to pick them up watch
Who is it?
Halt Halt
Where is he?
Come with me
Come on
How come you are here?
How would I let you risk it alone?
But you shouldn't get involved in it
Hush
I saw him go this way where is he?
Boss prepare us two dishes
What are you staring at?
I dare you to come over for a drink
Let's look for him over there
Master lp teach us as well
We want to learn too
Yes teach us...
Master lp teach us as well...
Teach us...
Yes teach us...
Sure you join us
Bugle call... come on...
stop drinking... come on
What are you two doing? Come on
I need them here you just go
Yes Mr Lam
Guys come on
Brother Ching-shan
How come you are here?
I have been tailing you two
How did you know?
Wing-sing you were careless
You hid your sis's dress under the quilt
But a part was exposed really
I...
Now go mingle with them
Just say you are taking part in the search
Or it'll mean trouble in the roll call
Sis I gotta go
Bye
Come on find a place to change first
You change here
Why?
There's a search going on
You are asking for death wearing this
Wing-shing you mean to help lp Man
It's this close
You want to nullify your effort?
Done
You look gorgeous
Who is it? Freeze
We are out on a date who are you?
Mr Lam what are you doing here?
What do you think?
I am sorry... let's go
Let me see you home
I can go back myself
Wing-shing I still see you as my friend
If you are in trouble or danger
I'll risk everything to help you
Even if you are doing it for lp Man
I still hope you will take your word back
Come on... faster
Commander lp Man is here
lp Man how come your letter is with me?
You think that now the Nationalist Government is in power
The people can file complaints?
Let me be frank with you
I have connections in Canton
Writing such letters is a waste of effort
If it's a waste of effort why should you care?
One trip to Hong Kong and you are suddenly an intellectual?
Alright I will play along
Let's count it on my fingers
See how many days you have left
Make it three
Take him back Yes
Go... Go
Commander you don't have to waste your breath with a dying man
I put you in charge of the prison What have you done?
Let me tell you I don't want to see such things ever again
Yes yes
What's wrong with your brains?
The Canton side is waiting for me to take a wrong step
If this letter had fallen into their hands
What would have happened to us?
You are such a fool
Yes I am a fool I am so stupid...
Cut out the act
The times have changed
KMT needed regional military powers like me when they started out
They wouldn't ruffle us
Now that they are secure in their control
We have become eyesores to them
I have to watch my steps every day
Yes...
Look at these letters
Pointing fingers straight at me listing everything just to take me down
Even if the cases were faked
Canton would make a mountain out of them
You have a brain or not?
You couldn't even see it?
Commander then let's kill lp Man
You think I don't want to?
Mentor
Rascal you didn't come to see me after your return
You still see me as your mentor or not?
But I couldn't get in touch with you
Mentor
Rascal my martial artistry has come up short as a mentor?
You had to pick up more from Leung Pik?
Show me what he has taught you
Mentor come on
Mentor we are in prison
Big Ox watch out
I didn't teach you this
Come on over
How's Leung Pik doing in Hong Kong?
Doing well or down and out?
Not bad
What's "not bad"? You mean to kid me?
Mentor more or less like how you are doing
Tell me the truth
Is his martial artistry better than mine?
His martial artistry?
He can't compare to you
Rascal tell the truth
It's the truth
You...
Mentor how did you get in?
I swore at the soldiers and so I am here
You wouldn't listen to others
Now what to do?
Mentor I have seen a lot in Hong Kong
The way to turn our country around is the respect for law and contracts
It's the prerequisite for a modern
society and country
I mean to use myself to prove that it will work in our country
But as soon as I started I've been faced with a formidable wall
Contracts and law what nonsense
Where do you think you are?
This is Foshan
You grew up here
Whoever has talked about law and contracts with you?
Lp Man your case goes to court tomorrow
What are you going to do?
Master lp...
Give way... be quiet...
Master lp... we believe you
Be quiet...
Ip Man I've been nice to you
You talk about law and contracts
Sangyuan has come up short in this aspect
I have had this former Qing magistracy tidied up as a courtroom
I've also invited a judge from Canton
It's exactly like what you've said Are you satisfied now?
Stop it! I am not done yet
Carry on
Let me make it clear
If you can't find evidence to prove your innocence
You will be executed
You can begin
I have read the documents submitted by the prosecution and the defence
Defendant the fingerprint on your document is not Yim Chun-loi's fingerprint
Your Honour ours is genuine and theirs is forged
Where's your proof?
Words don't work in court
How can you prove mine is forged?
I have Yim Chun-loi's arrest record for fighting
There is his fingerprint on it
Defendant the fingerprint you submitted is identical to that of the prosecution
They are not identical to yours
It is obvious you can see it
It's not possible
They doctored the arrest record
Miss Cheung you are framing us
You keep talking about law
Where's your evidence
Cut it short
A life for a life the verdict please
It is now proven defendant lp Man murdered Yim Chun-loi
The defendant once fled to Hong Kong out of guilt
And he tried to clear his name with forgeries
It's a disregard for law and justice
I now sentence lp Man
To death
lp Man is innocent he's a good man...
Court adjourned
I demand a retrial
Your Honour I want an appeal
Don't get in my way
Take him out
Man...
Go...
Ip Man...
Wing-shing I'll be fine
Man... Man...
I'll get you out... Ip Man
Man... Man...
Give way... don't get in the way
Man...
Shoot him tomorrow morning
lp's Mansion
Uncle Auntie don't worry
I'll come up with a way to get him out
Ng Pak-lam wants our son dead
It's foolish of you to come back
We never thought Ng Pak-lam could be this despicable
It's a setup
This is Foshan Ng Pak-lam's territory
It's doomed to fight him here
Auntie don't cry
Let me send a telegram to my uncle in America
Want to escape? Dream on!
Take him back to the cell
Cancel his exercise time
Shoot him tomorrow morning
Yes Sir
Go
Master lp
Be quiet...
Go in
Well?
Mentor I am fine
Mentor it's sumptuous join me
No I don't want it
Hey take it away...
Your last supper enjoy before you go
Hey take it away... we don't want it
Mentor enjoy
I... don't have the appetite
It's your last...
Last supper I know
See? Sometimes you are too stubborn
You should have stayed in Hong Kong
Why did you come back to your death?
Mentor say no more
It's not easy for me to find a disciple
Mentor
If I had known you are so stupid I wouldn't have taken you
Mentor I find Zi and you two of a kind
Cold outside but hot inside
Zi is stubborn in character
But he longs for friendship and fatherly love
He's short-tempered because he is not loved
I hope you will give him a chance
Zi can be changed
I hope he can keep you company and take care of you
You can change Zi I then have nothing to worry about
Sis let me send a telegram to Dad
I've done it already
He's now in America he can't be back right away
How come?
Sis is there any other way?
Sis I have a way
But don't scold me after hearing it
Then keep it to yourself
Sis... I think you bear Brother Ching-shan a misunderstanding
Let me remind you again
Don't put yourself in danger
Don't see him as a brother
Wing-shing someone pushed a letter in
See if it concerns lp Man
Wing-shing don't be obstinate
You need me this friend at such a time
Or you will witness lp Man's death tomorrow
How's it?
I have to go out
Let me go with you
No I'll go alone
We have to go to see lp Man
You go first I have to go
But...
Everything was your arrangement
You planned it all right?
I knew you would think so
Since you said it
I don't want to explain myself
But you can't deny I really love you
I have long been in love with you
I couldn't take what you said that day
I have to prove to you I am your lifelong friend
I'll make you take back what you said
Now for lp Man
Can you let your friend show you the way?
If you believe me go with me
When we are inside don't cry
Come in
Come on
Where's my son?
Don't worry you will see him
It's the thousand year old custom
You just wait here
Come on don't cry
It will break our son's heart when he sees that
How come? You should be allowed a last visit
It's getting windy
Faster
You have nothing else to say?
Faster
I sure can drive faster
Have you made up your mind?
Ng Pak-lam has made it clear
If you want to save lp Man
You have to do what he said
What's your decision?
The engine died let me check it
How come he's still not here?
Hello?
Let us out...
They won't let us see him for the last time
Let us out
I want to see my son
Let us out...
What is it?
It's overheating
We have to wait here
Lam Ching-shan it's deliberate?
What do you mean?
Wing-shing you suspect this is a trick?
You won't let me see lp Man
I won't?
I have been doing my best to let you see him
What are you doing?
I'm walking the rest of the way
