The Great Protector Episode 7
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
Now what Does Brother Anshun feels 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 drink now
This gathering I'm setting up is called Heroes from the Four Seas
I want to have a drink with heroes from across the world and make friends with them Please
Escort Master Liu 's Kungfu skills are quite impressive Certainly there's no problem in drinking
Brother Du This liquor jar
is kind of small
What Brother Du meant is to save some of the drink for us
He's afraid Escort Master Liu will finish it all by himself
So stingy Brother Du, you're too stingy
Too stingy Too stingy
All your lanterns are ready
Brother Anshun If you don't want to propose the toast
I would not blame you at all
Brother Du Escort Master Liu is very trustworthy
He's already accepted How would he refuse to drink now
Yeah Brother Du Are you looking down upon him
Yeah you're looking down upon him
I'll drink
Good
Everyone here is senior to me I, Liu Anshun, come here to ask for the lanterns from you
I really appreciate you are giving me this opportunity
Especially Brother Du You are my first friend in Beijing
Knowing I need to establish a new escort route You set up this gathering for me
The favor you did for me
It would be so hard for me to return it
Here I propose a toast to you my seniors
Great drink Really good drink, Brother Du
Thank you
Brother Du There's an old saying that alcohol can even turn a coward into a hero
It's such a rare opportunity today as everyone is here
There is something in my mind I just wonder whether I should tell you or not
Brother Anshun What do you mean by this
Brother Du Today you set up this gathering
The purpose is really to embarrass me
Get me drunk here and prevent me from getting all the lanterns before dawn
Then I won't be able to get back to my place and Jia Kemu can shut down my Escort Service
At last, you can drive me out of Beijing
Brother Du Am I oversensitive in interpreting the situation this way
Brother You are thinking too much
Good Everybody says all escort services are of the same family
I believe everyone here is not so narrow-minded
But I just have to remind Brother Du for one more thing
Do you remember, Brother Du
The Deputy from Blindman's Ridge who you referred to me
She's at my Escort Service right now. If my Escort Service is shut down
the Deputy will be caught by the authority If that happens the blame of offending folks at Blindman's Ridge
as well as the other underworld friends will not only be on Guangshun Escort Service
I think everyone here knows better than I do
No matter what I want to thank all of you for your courtesy
Today I'm determined to collect the lanterns from all of you
Even if I would only be able to crawl I will crawl back to Gunagshun Escort Service
Because I don't want people to say that I am framed and harmed by my peers
We still have a lot of time in the future If anyone wants to share any thoughts with me
please come to me at any time I Liu Anshun will be happy to listen to you
Lead Escort Master Liu is really a capable man
You got it done as promised
Office Jia Can my Escort Service open door for business
No problem The Escort Service can surely open for business
But that person, I still have to take her away
Liu Anshun Guard her closely
Don't let her step her foot over this threshold If she dares to do that
I'll still arrest her without doubt
Lead Escort Master
We still have a lot of time
Let's see how we will get along
You two Keep an close eye on them
I'll kill you both if she escapes
Yes sir
Anshun
Mother
You stayed up all night
Did you get all the lanterns
Yes I did Please go have some sleep
As long as you can take care of it That new escort route will be yours in the future
Brother Shun to exchange the Black Bag for a White Bag
You would have to establish a new escort route
Have you really thought it through?
I shouldn't have trusted you I told you the truth Why did you still put the stuff in my mouth
I didn't promise not to put anything in your mouth
You liar Hurry up untying me right now
I didn't lie to you I promised to protect you
See You are still live and well
What about those damn police
They will not come in again
How did you get it done
Just made friends with folks at the Big Eight Escort Services
No wonder you smell alcohol all over you
It looks like you are quite capable, right
Guess I should say thank you
All right Now you are free
- Hey - Now what
How dare you hit me
I stayed up all night because of what you did to me
What are you looking at Go away I want to get some sleep now
Damn bandit
Brother Du Who is the expert you are going to invite
It takes the Head Escort Masters from the Big Eight to go personally
Big Eight Escort Services We've probably taken ourselves too seriously
Other people are not necessarily looking at us that way
Have you brought all the gifts with us
Yes Head Escort Master
If we can drive Liu Anshun away I'm willing to pay for the gifts no matter how expensive
Get out of the way Get out of the way
Officer Jia
Brothers Please step aside
Officer Jia Why are you so angry early in the morning Didn't sleep well last night
You led me to the Liu Anshun's Escort Service and wanted me to give him a hard time
But on the other hand you helped him secretly
Are you making a fool out of me, like playing with a monkey
Officer How could say something like that
It was your idea to give Liu Anshun a hard time I've never said anything like that
I'm an Escort Master Playing with monkey is what the street artists do
- That's in a different business - How dare you make fun of me
Officer Jia the civilian is not supposed to argue with the officer Here is a little something for you
Du Zaishan
I know your Escort Service protects the private residences for the nobilities and high-ranking officials
But don't you ever think you can be defiant to an appointed official
I dare not
The appointed officer is as imposing as the heaven I'm just an ordinary civilian How would I dare to defy an officer
Get out of the way Get out of the way
Brother Du Jia Kemu is giving Liu Anshun a hard time
Why don't we just take this opportunity
He is not just giving a hard time to Liu Anshun
He is really against all Escort Services in Beijing
I don't want to be fooled around by him
I'm old now I have given up anything about Kungfu long ago
Please just leave, everyone
Old Master If you've really given it up
what are these Plum Blossom Piles for
Head Escort Master Du really has a sharp eye
These piles are used for picking up the lotus seed
not for practicing Kungfu
That's quite a nice interest you have, isn't it
Yes I do have some interests but no more enthusiasm
Now I'm only an old man keeping and cleaning the house for other people
Zaishan It's quite nice of you
still remembering an old man like me
It means that you're very thoughtful I'm grateful about that
But please be considerate to my wishes
How would I dare to do that I'm only bring everybody here to see you today
Kungfu contest is really not important
Old Master You look so healthy and strong I can now rest assured
We're not gonna continue to disturb you Good-bye
Good-bye
Old Master I forgot to tell one thing
Liu Anshun is the disciple of Dai Haichen, Head Master Dai
Good-bye
This old man It's fine if he doesn't want to get involved
But how come he accepted all our gifts
As long as he accepted the gifts our visit will not be in vein
I would let my ancestors down if the structure of the Ancestral Hall is changed
E'erhe You are the descendant of the Lord of Amazing Strength
How could you let a woman get control of you
It's OK to live in a place not so nice
To keep the original form of the Ancestral Hall That is the most important
It can't be changed any more Yes it can't be changed any more
E'erhe Can you hurry up
So slow Tell me what exactly you are able to do
OK OK Just be patient
I'm going to buy some buns Don't be slacking
The unruly people are going against their superiors and the nation is breaking apart
Missing Person Notice by Mr Zhang, Xinglong Lodge at Pichai Hutong
Did you see the Notice over there
No What is it about
Missing Person Notice
Actually not much details Only a drawing
But the drawing is not about a person It's a drawing of a cat
Nothing is too strange in my eyes nowadays
Xiu'er
Uncle He
Uncle He Please come in
Your Royal Highness
It's you The guy at the tavern
Yes yes Your Royal Highness has a good memory
Here's Zhang Duanhe greeting Your Royal Highness
Uncle He You don't need to do that
No I have to Proper etiquette has to be followed
No need for that I'm always easy going No need for these ostensible things
How could Your Royal Highness be doing this kind of menial job
Come on You take a break Be careful
Your Royal Highness
- That's OK OK. You just take a break
After all it is the Ancestral Hall of my family Even if it is dilapidated now
there's still the impact of the hundred years of moral genesis
Even a bumpkin would know to follow the etiquette when he comes here
What moral genesis Uncle He just didn't want to embarrass you
Oh How did he get here
I met him on the road
Is he going to stay at my home tonight
It's my home now You haven't got my horse back yet
So where is everybody going to sleep tonight
I'll be inside You two stay outside
That's not right It will be so crowded for two men to stay there
If you feel it's too crowded go ahead to find a roomier place out there
I won't stop you
Hey Xiu'er That's all right
It's pretty cold Tow people together will make it feel warmer
Uncle He Do you mean Shanmao is in Beijing too
That's what he told me
Don't worry I'm going back to the lodge later
Not gonna make any trouble for you
You don't need to go, Uncle He I'm not afraid even if Shanmao comes here
He doesn't care for me anymore
I just feel strange How come Dai Haichen would let him go
Uncle He Shanmao doesn't want you to be with him
Why do you still come to look for him
Although the Commander asked you to take care of him back then
he's a grown-up man now You've done what you were asked to do
But I still have some feelings for him after all
- I understand...the feelings - They are neither father and daughter nor husband and wife
A single man and a single woman doing business together I don't believe there's nothing between them
So shameless
Behaved like thieves and whores
Uncle He
You just stay here Don't go anywhere
I told you before I'll take care of you when you are getting old
No I can't just sit here helplessly
and let Xiu'er give up on herself
No Can't let it happen
E'erhe Stop hitting the brick My head will explode if you continue doing that
OK OK You guys can continue to chat
Talk about whatever you like I...I... I will stop working on that
It's been a tiring day Have some rest
Fill up Fill up
You know...Actually...
- No more wine - Go get some more
Officers You're here watching for somebody, aren't you
Don't drink too much Otherwise you may get drunk
Cut the crap, OK Hurry up and go get more
You know, I'm telling you
You have to drink more Drink to your heart's content
Eat Let's eat
My friend since you're here already please come in and take a seat
That's all right I just came here to see you
I'll leave soon afterwards
This is Liu Anshun from Guangshun Escort Service May I ask how I should address you
The reason I come at this late hour is because I don't want to leave my name
Master Dai at the Taigu Escort Service... He's my Master
I found the right person
Your Kungfu skills are not bad
You are of the Xingyi Faction
We are not of the same clan
Which clan from Henan do you belong to
You're quite knowledgeable Come on Let's get a feel of it
You've only learned about half of Dai Haichen's skills
He didn't teach you whole-heartedly
With the talent you have you should have been better than this
What a shame No matter how hard you practice in the future this is about as good as you can get
Sir Please show me how to do it the right way
Wait till later if we can meet again Please excuse me
Come on Drink a little bit more Don't waste it
No I'm drunk already
- Come on Drink - Let me lay down for a while
Who are you
I've been drinking with you for quite a while Now you don't know who I am
But Where is Xu Laoliu
Xu Laoliu is sleeping
- You...How dare you - Shhhh
Liu Anshun Liu Anshun
How dare you As a Escort Master How dare you instigate others to attack the police officers
Attack the police officers Officer Jia Where is this coming from
These two They were knocked out by someone outside of your door
How do you explain this
Explain Officer Jia You just said
These two officers were injured outside the door
not inside my Escort Service Why should I explain
Liu Anshun No wonder you can be in the escort business
Really sharp-tongued I sent them over to watch for the bandit in your Escort Service
Who else would do that if it was not you
Officer May I ask who was the attacker Did you get a good look at him
I didn't see him clearly But I'm certain it was a man
Was that me
No
Was that Lord Qi or Lord Chen of my Escort Service
Not them either
Officer Jia There are only three men in my Escort Service
Therefore it means Whoever attacked these two officers
are not from my Escort Service
It's hard to say Who knows how many bandits are hidden in your place
Also the female bandit can disguise as a man
Officer Jia Am I the bandit you are looking for
Pretty Really pretty
So does Officer Jia like how I look
Where are you from, Missy
From the mountain
What mountain
Don't you know the answer to your question already From the mountain with bandits, of course
Good Did you see
I like people who are straighforward
Missy Would you mind going with me
Do you want to arrest me
Don't put it that way Now it's called assisiting for investigations
You're too nice
Since Officer Jia need some help from me
Of course I'm happy to do that
Liu Anshun Are you obstructing the police activities
I'm protecting her
But...How would you do that
How about with the Guild of Escort Services
Du Zaishan It has nothing to do with you here
I'm the Chairman of the Guild of Escort Services How could it has nothing to do with me
You came in to arrest people without the warrant issued by the authority That is a violation of the rules
Missy Are you going with me
So weird You ask me to go He asks me to stay Whom should I listen to
How about this You two have a flight I'll listen to whoever wins
What do you think, Officer Jia
Missy My advice to you
He's not gonna be able to protect you for long You won't be able to leave Beijing without my order
Then I'll just stay here
Beijing is such a lively place So much good food, so much fun
Then you just have fun in the Escort Service
Don't leave, Officer Jia I'm not done yet
You really like to add to the trouble
So boring Let me go
- Brother Anshun -Brother Du, thank you for your help
You're welcome That is for the sake of the escort business too
Is your mother home
Yes she is
- I'd like to see her - This way please, Brother Du
Please
Jia Kemu is definitely having his eyes on you What do you plan to do
Please advise what I should do, Brother Du
Although Jia Kemu is not a high-ranking official
He is an officer appointed by authority
He dares not to be too reckless
At the end of the day he is not afraid of our Escort Services
He's afraid of the people behind us
People behind the escort business
Your Escort Service does business with the Money Service
The Money Service takes care of the dealings with the officials
So you don't need to worry about that
But it's different for the Escort Services in Beijing
If you want to open an Escort Service in Beijing You have to find a backer
Otherwise you won't be able to survive
Brother Du I'm not a smart perosn
and not good at dealing with them at all
Who would like to deal with them
But would it work if we don't
The escort business depends on our relationship with both the authorities and the underworld
We're right in the middle and can't afford to offend either of them
If they're displeased, we won't be able to get anything done
Also all of the Big Eight Escort Services send Escort Masters
to protect the residences of the high-ranking officials
Do you think that is only for the fees earned
For finding the support
I almost forgot The Ninth Beile of His Royal Highness Zhuang's family is looking for someone to protect his residence
I plan to recommend you for that job
It's up to you whether you'd like to accept it or not
I won't force you Good-bye
Brother Du
Please make the arrangement for me
Brother Don't blame me on not warning you
You can't change your mind if you decide to accept
His Royal Highness' residence is not a place
where you can come and go at will
♫ I'm coming to the corner of the street ♫
Yo
Officer Jia Looks like there're really some problems with the public safety in Beijing
Thanks a lot for your work
Du Zaishan Liu Anshun won't be able to survive for long
You local tyrants won't be able to protect him
Whether we can protect him or not would affect the reputation of the escort business in Beijing
You're not helping us, Officer Jia If we don't stand up for ourselves
the escort business will only be left humiliated by anyone
Don't try to pressure me with the escort business I'm telling you
I'm afraid you will lose all your fame when the time comes
and be left with shame and humiliation
Isn't that what you want
You can just look on it for fun, Officer Jia
Good Let's wait and see
Let's wait and see
Officer Jia, I''ll invite you to come for a drink another day
♫ I'm coming to the corner of the street ♫
♫ Everybody please just listen to me ♫
♫ I'm not a bandit not a gangster ♫
♫ I'm not a thief stealing everything ♫
Du Zaishan Fuck you
Jia Kemu Fuck you
What are you doing Let me go
- I haven't asked you to come out. Why did you do that - I'm your guest, not your prisoner
I'll go wherever I want to to It's none of your business
Do you know what the consequences could be if you pulled the gun
What consequences Bring it on Worst things worst I'll die or he'll die
It's easy to say You should know this is not Bliandman's Ridge here
Then what should I do I have business to take cate of
Now I'm trapped in this broken house
- I'm sick and tired of it - You have to live with it
- You... - Give me the gun. I'll keep it for you
- No way - Give it to me
Liu Anshun If you dare to ask for my gun again I'll kill you
You offended me
Liun Anshun You'd better watch out
Your escort carts will never be able to pass through the Blindman's Ridge
The Beile has a lot rules
You must behave well with courtesy when you meet him
When you see him in the distance you must have both knees down
Don't get up until he asks you to
When the Beile is sitting You must be standing all the time
You look taller than the Beile
When you are walking with the Beile You must remember
Your head can't look taller than the Beile at anytime
And... there're a lot more
I'll tell you more later
Today you'll meet the Beile for the first time
You should kneel down on both knees with five salutes and three kowtows
When you stand up You should lower your head and eyes waiting for the order
Beile Beile I've heard it far from the distance
The bells are ringing one after another
Really great marksmanship
- You heard the bells ringing - Yeah - Why didn't I hear it
You are too close to it
The sound of the bells are covered by the gun shots
It can only be heard clearly in a distance
So this is about the theory of acoustics
That's something I know
Beile The new house guard is here
Liu Anshun Escort Master Liu from Guangshun Escort Service
Have you read any physics book before
No
You should Ignorance of science will lead to the sense of inferiority
Hurry Beile is waiting for your salute
Here is Liu Anshun saluting to you, Beile
You can get up
What are you doing
What are you doing Kowtow to Beile quickly now
Kowtow to Beile quickly now
I've already salute to Beile Please return a salute, Beile
You are asking Beile to return a salute
Kneel down and kowtow to Beile now
Kneel down Kneel down You...I...
Master All my fault. All my fault. All my fault
I'm so incompetent and hired the wrong person for you
Please punish me for my fault
The people are more and more unruly The nation is breaking apart
Just because I lost the power now
Anyone would dare to be so rude to me
Beile Whether the employer has the power or not
is meaningless to the escort masters Once we are hired
You are the master The relationship between the employer and the escort master
is just like host and guest
As a guest to his Royal Higness' residence... You really think very highly of yourself
This is my way of greeting a guest Do you still think you are a guest
Beile I will be your guest no matter what
I've already saluted to you Please return a salute
I just don't believe this
Stop it
Elder Sister
The British Consular invited you to ride the horse How come you're back so early
The Consular fell off the horse and got injured
Injured That's good. No one will bother you anymore
Why are you pointing your gun at other's head
Him... He's the Escort Master I just hired today
He not only refused to kowtow to me he even asked me to return a salute because he saluted to me
Saying that as long as the letter of employment is signed
Our identity and status in the society won't exist anymore
He will be the guest of our family
This is the rules of the escort business We escort masters are not the slaves of the employer We're all equal
You're getting more and more outrageous You are only a bodyguard
How could you be equal to me
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by We,The Protectors Team@Viki
Beile That's how the gun should be used
You...You...You've gone too far
You...I...You've gone too far
Teach me How... How should I use it
Follow me
Tell me about the rules of the escort business
