The Great Protector Episode 6
Is there anything fun in Beijing
I just came to Beijing too
Guess they asked someone out-of-town to be my guide here
How could you show me around if you're not familiar with things here
OK, I'm going to the other Escort Service
Hey Hey Please don't leave I've already found everything out from others
- Give me the gun - Why
It's mine
Time for shopping now
You can't bring your gun while shopping Give me the gun
I'll go to the other Escort Service If you don't let me bring my gun
OK I'm going with you
But for a man to walk around with a nun Do you think it looks all right?
What are you afraid of Not afraid. Just strange
So fussy Just wait. I'm going to change
Don't peep
Anshun Is that nun the one you've been waiting for?
I've prepared the pig offal, lamb and fresh fish this morning
All non-vegetarian dishes No one says it gonna be a nun
Lord Chen all the money spent gonna be wasted this time
She is not a nun
Where did you hide the gun
I'm telling you If you keep on staring at me
I'll pick your eyeballs out
Now tell me first Where do you plan to show me
I've already asked If you're interested in scenary, go to Shishahai
If you want to buy clothes, go to Dashilan at Qianmen
So boring How about this
Take me to where the most rogues are
Rogues? What are rogues?
Hey You're really from out of town and don't know anything
Rogues are bullies, hooligans
These are the kind of people we should try to stay away from
What are you afraid of We have gun
If we do run into the rogues toying with the innocent women
That will be a great chance to fight against the bad guys and bring peace to people
- And I've been anxious to get some exercises in recent days - You're a bandit. How do you fight against the bad guys?
I'll do whatever I want Get out of my way
Open the door
If you don't open the door now, I'll pull the gun
Just open, Lord Qi, Lord Chen
Hurry up
Now what about the lunch
Let's eat ourselves
Let's go
It seems the public safety is quite good in Beijing So boring
It is the Capital after all Let's go buy some clothes in Qianmen
- Give me the gun - Why should I?
Hey, it's very dangerous, don't you know?
Get out of the way
What's going on? Stop running
Officer Jia, Please do me a favor and let me go
Just run
What's going on
His gun is the same as mine
Let me see
All right Why are you running?
How do you plan to get away Do you need me to give you a ride
I, I surrender
Surrender? What is called surrender
You are under arrest, understand?
Whatever you say Now I'm in your hand anyway
But I don't feel it's damaging to my reputation
Take him away
Move
See how frightened you are I really doubt whether you are an Escort Master
Such a coward How could you take on the escort trip in the future
Caution is the parent of safety
Take your hand back Don't Just go go go
Have a cup of tea since you're already in
- Somebody you know? - No I don't know
Bite Bite Bite
What a pretty girl
Come over and have a cup of tea with me Let me take a good look at you
These are the people who you call rogues
Come on. Sit here
Are you toying with an innocent woman
This girl is so adorable
Looks like it's my lucky day
- It's OK It's OK. Let's go clothes shopping. Let's go - Bastard! Get her back
Who fired the shot
How could you fired the shot without warning
I didn't. It was an accident
How would there be an accident if you didn't pull the trigger
Firing shot without authorization in the place like Beijing You're gonna get into some big trouble
I didn't hurt anyone What trouble it could be
- Give me the gun - No
- Give it to me - No way
- Where was the shot fired - Over there
Even the Capital Beijing is like a bandit's playground Now anyone dares to open fire
Let's go take a look
You lied too
A white lie. Let's go
I still want to buy some clothes I'm going shopping now
Officer Jia Officer Jia
Officer Jia just then a girl ran into the store and opened fire I was so scared
A girl
That's right A quite pretty girl
How could a pretty girl have a gun
Even if she has a gun I don't think she would open fire without a reason
Right? Lord Wa
Just like you said Such a pretty girl
Where did she get the gun
Why did she open fire without any reason
It doesn't make sense
Lord Wa, you're the heavy-weight in the rogues and knows everything around here
You'd better find her for me quickly That would save the faces for both of us
Well listen to what you said it sounds like we folks will be recruited by the authorities
Just wonder how much the officials plan to pay us
Stop playing your rogues' games with me
Better tell your followers to be careful
Just don't fall into my hand
Officer Jia, you take care
Lord Wa He's newly appointed and doesn't seem to be friendly
Want to scare me?
Better look at himself in the mirror first
Recently the Ninth Beile from His Royal Highness Zhuang's family
was kidnapped in Tianjin
There was no bodily injury but he lost about ten thousand ounces of silver ingot
It's said the bandits are coming to Beijing in recent days Just look out for that
And you must catch them
Did the Ninth Beile see the bandits face to face?
Just once. It's said to be a female bandit And is quite good-looking
A female Good looking
What's up
Nothing nothing
You need to investigate this secretly
After all the Ninth Beile went out of Beijing without permission Which is against the rules
But he's said Do your best to capture her alive and not to harm her
The Ninth Beile is unexpectedly kind to this female bandit
The situation is so chaotic out there
But these Beile and Beizi are still causing a lot of troubles for me
Oh, where are you gonna get started
Have you thought about that
If it's the bandits from Zhili Province
Most likely they would have some relationships with the Escort Services in Beijing
The Escort Services do their businesses on the road They have connections with the authorities as well as the bandits
Maybe I can find some clues by checking with them
I promoted you to that position becuase you are a smart man Hope you won't let me down
Yes, sir
This is pretty good
Look at this How does it look
Pretty good
How could you say it's pretty good You didn't even look at it You are brushing me off
I will take this, sir
This type of fabric should be good for the pants for winter
Brother Shun Does this piece look good
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
This piece must look really good on you Turn around
Is it good
You must be so pretty wearing this
This fabric should be good for making a skirt
I am gonna take all these All look so pretty
Do you think this looks pretty
I don't know. Don't ask me
You haven't even looked at it How could you say you don't know
It must be good if you say you don't know
Sir, I want this too
Yo, Officer Jia is visiting Sorry for not coming out earlier
- My apologies - Head Escort Master Du, it's so nice of you.
Officer Jia, you're new to the office responsible for the security of this area
We'll all count on you if there's anything happened to us in the future
No problem
The reason I'm coming today is to ask for an advice
You are too flattering Just hope I can actually help you
Head Escort Master Are there some goodfellas coming to Beijing recently
It's normal that folks in the underworld visit each other quite frequently
Not sure whom are you asking about
A woman
Woman
Fei'er Fei'er You think you would be safe hiding in the Escort Services in Beijing
The person I'm interested in would only be safe when being with me
Don't you know that
OK, besides the one he likes This this and this, I want them all
Please have a cup of tea over there It'll be ready in a minute
You've bought so much stuff Can you really take them with you
You are gonna help me, right?
This looks good too There're so many beautiful fabrics in Beijing
Still buying more? What you've bought will be enough for the rest of your life
I'm a woman A woman never have enough clothes
So obvious that you've never been married
I'm lucky not to have a prodigal wife like you
What do you mean As stingy as you are, you'll never find a wife
Missy, all the fabrics you bought are packed How much is it
Five ounces of silver ingot
Five ounces So expensive
You bought a lot I've given you the discount for repeat customers
Can you give some further discount, Sir
Sir, this is ten ounces I'll leave the change with you
- OK - Keep it for the next time when I come
I'll put it on your account
May I ask where is your ---
Ask my assistant He knows
Real bandit
Woman in the underworld There're really not many of them, as I know
But there are some, right?
Of course Madame Du in Shandong
Nun Huizhen in Henan
But these two are not actively interacting with others
I'm talking about the bandits
Bandits
Coming from Tianjin
From Tianjin
I've never heard there are any female bandit in Tianjin
Maybe just passing by
Officer Jia, you've got me Please forgive my ignorance
I've never heard about a person like this
All right Sicne even Head Escort Master Du doesn't know about it
It must has nothing to do with the Big Eight Escort Services in Beijing
Now I know what I should do
Officer Jia
Head Escort Master Du Do you think of something now
What I want to say is there aren't only Big Eight Escort Services in Beijing now
There's one more?
One more
He's back
Hi This must be Escort Master Liu
Yes I am, officer And you are...
Come on in Officer Jia is waiting for you inside Hurry
Looking for me
- What are you doing - Run away
Stay calm We haven't sorted the situation out
If they are indeed looking for you you won't be able to escape out of town anyway
Just follow me
I haven't had such authentic Shanxi sliced noodles for a long time
Thank you so much, Ma'am
You are very welcome, Officer Jia
You can have the sliced noodles anytime you come
Would you like to have another bowl of soup
Please
Officer Jia
You must be Escort Master Liu
Sorry for not recognizing you My apologies
Officer Jia Our Escort Service just opened for business
and I haven't got the time to pay you a visit yet Please forgive my oversight, Officer Jia
No problem at all Where is that girl who were just here
She retreated since you are here, Officer Jia
Is that your wife
A Friend
Friend The friend from the mountains or from the waters?
Friend on business
Friend on business Well said
I like you
Really had a fight with Dai Haichen?
Yes indeed
Didn't you say you are gonna pay me two hundred ounces of silver ingot afterwards? Now...
That's not a problem
You've come a long way. It's not been easy
I'd like to treat you with something to eat first
You're too kind We are just like friends, isn't it
I'll let you eat some dog shit first
Lord Xia How could you return my favor with ingratitude
Return your favor with ingratitude
You went to Taigu in Shanxi But you never had the fight with Dai Haichen
You lost to his daughter How dare you come back asking for the reward
No please don't, Lord Xia You sent somebody to follow us That was not very nice of you
How could a conman like you dare to play tricks with me
I'm gonna cut off your tongue today and get rid of a trouble for the others
Lord Xia, you can't cut off my tongue
If you cut off my tongue it's like cutting off my means of living
- Please let me off - Get up - No
Then you just stay lying there
Please
Escort Master Liu
Now everyone everywhere is talking about the New Deal
As for the public safety the Western police system is also adopted
And for all the old local customs
It will be changed sooner or later
What I dislike the most is the bandits coming into town
Reluctantly the authorities would tolerate it as long as they are received by the Escort Services
This is really a shame to the authorities
Officer Jia, you said it would be changed sooner or later
When exactly would it be
Today Your friend, I'll take her away with me
Officer Jia It's gonna screw up my business if you do that
You are not gonna be able to take responsibility of what your friend did, buddy
You misunderstood me, Officer Jia
I never thought about taking responsibility for her
But as long as she is at the premises of my Escort Service
I have the responsibility to take care of her
Good Not many people taking friends seriously these days
Officer Jia our business relies on the relationship with friends
We'll lose all the business if losing the friends
Liu Anshun
According to the law, providing shelter to the bandits is a crime I can arrest you for your crime right now
Officer Jia You keep saying she is a bandit
Do you have any evidence
Did she commit robbery or kidnapping
She robbed ten thousand ounces of silver ingot from the Ninth Beile in Tianjin
I'm afraid what happened in Tianjin is not under your jurisdiction
According to the law of Qing Dynasty
any travel by these Princes and Beiles outside of Beijing should be approved by the Emperor
Is Officer Jia gonna throw mud at the Royal family
You
Officer JIa Here is the soup
It's the original noodle soup Please drink while it's still hot
Officer Jia
Here you go
Thank you
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
I only saw the lanterns from the Sanli Escort Service when I came in earlier
Looks like the other Escort Services didn't send their lanterns
They will
Sound really confident
But I just don't know whether your peers would have the respect to you
If you don't have the lanterns from the Big Eight Escort Services you are not accepted by your peers
Theoretically, your establishment can't be considered an Escort Service yet
I can arrest her here However, I ate the noodles from you
and also had the soup I have to return your favor
If you can't collect all the lanterns by dawn tomorrow I will come to arrest her
- See you later - Good-bye
We just got in Beijing Now you've already offended the authorities
What should we do next
Don't worry, mother. It's all right We'll find a way to deal with it
Officer
Liu Anshun's Escort Service is not endorsed by the Escort Masters Guild
We should be able to go in and arrest the suspect
No hurry
But...We will all look good if we can catch that female bandit, won't we
I'd like to see some conflicts and struggles among themselves
These Escort Services
Just because they are backed by the noblities
they've always taken us for granted
I just want to take this opportunity to send out a warning message
Guss this place is not even considered a real Escort Service
How come the other Escort Services don't like you
I was at the Taigu Escort Service before
I'm not familiar with the Escort Services in Beijing
That can't be true
Such bad luck on me
You don't even have the ability to handle it Why did you agree to receive me as your guest
Forget about it Rather than counting on others, it's better to rely on myself
What do you want to do
I'll be dashing out How could I just sit here waiting for the arrest
There are dozens of people with guns out there
You won't be able to do that
Then to me, killing one of them is enough It'll be a bonus if I can kill two
This is Beijing. You'd better control your temper
Are you going to protect me if I stay put
I will protect you if you stay here
Are you really able to protect me
- Give it a try - Try?
How could you talking about my life in such a casual way
I'll die before you if we actually come down to that
Pooh-Pooh-Pooh I'm telling you I don't want to die
Hey
What do you want to do
You'd better quietly stay here Don't think about going anywhere before I'm back
Where are you going
To get the lanterns
Didn't you say you don't know them well
A stranger the first time, an acquaintance later on If I don't go
I will never know them
You're not running away, aren't you
Don't worry I'm not going anywhere as long as you are here
Give me your gun
No way I need to keep it for my protection
What are you doing Let me go
I'm protecting you
I'm telling you, Liu Anshun If you don't let me go
I'll kill all the dogs and chickens at your place
There're neither dog nor chicken in my Escort Service
Then I'll kill whatever is here, even rats
Don't put anything in my mouth
I have one thing to ask you You have to answer me honestly
Promise not to put anything in my mouth If I answer you honestly
They said you kidnapped the Ninth Beile in Tianjin Is that true
So he's actually a Beile
I'd ask for an extra ten thousand ounces if I knew that
I'm asking whether it is true
Stop Stop Where are you going
Just remember It must be before dawn
Before dawn
Huiyou Escort Service
Anshun, having a Lead Escort Master like you
the future of our escort business is promising.
For those so-called rules
For the escort business you are willing to go so far away to the Capital
But you would not stay by my side and protect me
My father named me Anshun
He was hoping my life would be of peace and stability
In order to get peace and stability the rules have to be followed
The honor and disgrace in an Escort Master's life all ties to the rules and customs
I just came to Beijing In order to establish the new escort route
I have to ensure the safety of this bandit girl
Even if it means to have some clashes with the authorities
You are...
Would you please tell the Escort Masters inside
Liu Anshun from Guangshun Escort Service has drawn the Nine-Rectangle-Grid and is waiting outside
OK, just wait please
Brother Chang Liu Anshun has drawn the Nine-Rectangle-Grid outside
He is forcing us to meet his challenge What do you think about this, Brother Chang
It's been many years
since we heard about drawing the Nine-Rectangle-Grid in Beijing
Uncivilized
Uncivilized, uncivilized
Self-draw
Let me see
Look look
One more game again
The Nine-Rectangle-Grid is the Kungfu challenge of the highest class in the escort business
Drawing a Nine-Rectangle-Grid is to declare a challenge to the peers in escort business in Beijing
This challenge is a point of no return
Live or die it's all my own choice
and has nothing to do with others
Lead Escort Master Liu Sorry about my absence to your opening ceremony
as I've been tied down with all the chores
Please forgive me
But since you are here today I've prepared some drinks
We can chat a little while drinking
I'm not coming for the drink this time
I'd like to ask for one thing from you, Head Escort Master
What is it
The lantern of your Escort Service
How would you get it
With the pole in my hand
You are the disciple of Dai Haichen
You practice Xingyi Boxing
I heard Xingyi Boxing was developed from the spear-fighting techniques in the ancient battlefield
The spear is your essential weapon
There's no essential weapon in the Xingyi Faction
As long as it's used properly
Any kind of weapon can be instrumental to the successful defense
Well said For all the Kungfu skills in the world the fundementals are all the same
But the Kungfu skills are not decided by talking
You would have to defeat the others
But I just heard that you were defeated recently
Yes I lost
But look at you, it doesn't seem that you lost
Rather it looks like you won
One can lose in the Kungfu contest but can't lose the spirit
Head Escort Master Please come into the Grid, Head Escort Master
The Nine-Rectangle-Grid is very tight
It's to your disadvantage
Disadvantage or not, let's square off with the weapons
Fine
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
Thanks for letting me win Head Escort Master, may I have the lantern now
There are six other Escort Services in Beijing Go ahead asking for the lanterns one by one
I will try to get as many as I can
Give him the lantern
Brother Du
Lead Escort Master Liu You drew the Nine-Rectangle-Grid here
It's like a slap on the faces of the Big Eight Escort Services
Quite embarrassing to us Do you really have to do that, Brother Liu
Brother Du If my Escort Service doesn't have the lanterns from everyone
I wouldn't be able to survive tonight I'd appreciate your understanding, Brother du
At first I was thinking about asking a favor for you from the others
Surprise to me now you set up this challenge
We are all of the same escort business If we continue to fight it'll only become a joke to the outsiders
Regardless of win or loss Others will say that I Du Zaishan is unforgiving
and can't tolerate other people
How about this You want the lanterns, right Let's make it simple
As your brother, I'll ask it for you
Brother Du
This young fella is overconfident
Brother, I've had all the lantern here
Whether you can get them or not
it's now all up to you
Can he do it, this young fella
White horse pulling cart
White crane showing wings
Golden rooster on one foot
Moving arm with crossing hand
Blue dragon swinging tail Flying eagle kicking talons
Lord Guan slapping with hands Turning around with crushing fist
Black tiger blocking road Flying swallow touching water
Overlord lifting giant vat Young boy worshiping buddha
White mouse washing face Thick willows swinging branches
Sliding feet with exploding fist Stealing peaches under the moon
Feet together with closed palm Ferocious tiger turning around
Stepping back with drilling fist Everliving immortal holding plate
Lifting feet with crossing fist Stealing peaches under the moon
Ferocious tiger turning around Golden rooster pecking on rice
Galloping forward like horse Everliving immortal holding plate
Blue dragon out of water
Looking back at the moon
Golden rooster crowing at dawn
Rapid pounding fists
Stepping down with chopping fist
Mighty lion opening mouth
Black dragon clinging to pole
Demon reaching out to sea White monkey presenting peaches
Boisterous horse splitting its mane Flying eagle kicking talons
Arhat conquering dragon Emperor pulling sword
Moving arm with closed palm Flying swallow turning over
Seven hammers on the way
Stepping up with chopping fist
This...What is happening
Brother, great Kungfu skills
Thank you, Brother Du
Everyone from the Big Eight Escort Services are here today
Let's have some drink and chat together
and take this opportunity to welcome for your arrival
Thanks for Brother Du's kindness I have no reason to refuse your warm invitation
Get the drinks ready
- Brother, please - Please
This is the high quality Fen liquor I brought from Shanxi
It has been in the cellar for twenty years and I have valued it too much to drink it You must be lucky today
You are from Shanxi So I'm using this drink as a welcome token today
The Nine-Rectangle-Grid is the old custom of the escort business
But since it tends to provoke the conflicts among the peers
It has not been used for many years
Nowadays even the authorities are talking about being civilized
our escort business should also make some efforts to get rid of the recklessness from the underworld
Brother Anshun wants to get the lanterns from the Big Eight Escort Services
But courtesy demands reciprocity
You take the lanterns with you
But you have to propose a toast to each and everyone here
How about that
Propose a toast to each and everyone
Now what
Brother Anshun thinks the dignity of the Big Eight
is not worth a cup of drink from you
How could I think like that
This is Brother Du's well-intended suggestion Of course I'll accept
Good Serve the liquor now
