" Huang Fei Hong " Episode 20
" Guangzhou "
Wasn't this place the opium along the street?
All the opium stores opened again after my father's arrest.
But this time, they cry wine and sells vinegar.
This place is still an opium store?
Little Huang, look!
If that is a normal mahjong parlor, why are there so many guards here?
Sir Cui, I beg of you! Let me have a sip of those opium!
- I can't take it anymore. - I have asked about it.
Sir Cui from the mahjong parlor is the host of the opium party.
We will get some clues if we stake out here.
My business is absolutely legal, stop talking nonsense.
Don't you forget this.
Constable Mo.
- Sir Cui, what's the matter? - It's nothing, Constable Mo
Gui Lan? Why is she here?
The officers nowadays stick their nose in everything.
- Settle this on your own. - Yes. Goodbye, sir.
You haven't seen her in a while, do you miss her?
My father is still in the prison, can you not talk about this right now?
There is no contradiction...
...between 'talk love' and 'save your dad'.
This unscrupulous merchant...
...harm the people by selling opium for his own colossal profits.
Going against him makes the Iron Monkey a hero of the day.
We can be a pair of lovers who will slay every evil in our way!
Execute them!
We will catch them all and blow them up with torpedoes!
Make them into monkey stew!
Boss, we made quite a lot of money today.
Good, the fortunes favour us.
Chief Constable wants us to be careful but the Iron Monkey was caught...
...what should we be worried about?
It's getting late now, you should get yourself some rest too.
Help! There's a burglar here!
I won't take your life, I hope you do the same as well.
On the day of the opium party...
- ...what was the Iron Monkey doing? - What do you want?
Tell me!
The situation here was full of joyous and everything went well that day.
Every tycoon came here, I was quite proud of myself for that.
Make it short.
This is how it happened.
After the mass he caused...
...all my money were for nothing and a fellow officer was killed.
That was a bad omen indeed.
If that's the case, the Iron Monkey was after Takeda Hideyoshi.
Yes. There are many who hated the Japanese in this city.
Where is Takeda Hideyoshi now?
After the mess, he definitely will hide himself up.
I don't know where he is.
Nod if you understood.
Most of the opium stores in this city get their stocks from Takeda.
I don't know anything else.
But if you can find the source of supply, you can find his hideout.
A wise man submits to circumstances. You would betray him to save yourself.
Someone, help!
This is strange.
Is this Grimace Cai here all along? I should escape while I can.
Mo Gui Lan!
- Huang Fei Hong, it is you. - What if it's me?
You are working with the criminals and my father is not the Iron Monkey.
Your father admitted himself, isn't that enough for you?
I understand now.
The officers are heavily guarding this place.
If my father is the Iron Monkey and he's in jail, what are you afraid of?
Something happened at the north-eastern side.
I set traps to catch the Iron Monkey, how could he escape without help?
Even if your father isn't the Iron Monkey, he is the accomplice too.
What if he is?
The Iron Monkey was helping the people and he deserves to be helped.
You are the chief constable, you should be helping the people.
Yet, you waste time and manpower to guard this wicked opium dealer.
Do you even deserve the trust of the imperial court and your duty?
Even if the Iron Monkey is the on good side...
...but he was using violence and interrupted our jobs...
...causing Tong Guan to lose his life!
I won't let him go so easily!
Constable Mo you are right on time, arrest Huang Fei Hong!
I am not a fool, I won't fall for that trick.
Mo Gui Lan, you put my father in jail and now you are arresting me?
Huang Fei Hong, what are you doing sneaking around here?
Can't I do a sight seeing tour?
You are serious?
I know I refused you and you have a grudge with that.
You will get wrinkles for this, don't you know?
- She has quite a skill for a woman. - Take me hostage, hurry!
Hurry up!
She is still a woman, getting emotional so easily.
- Never expect too much. - Chief Constable Cai.
No one said that a commoner can't stroll around or take a walk here.
You have no proof. You have no choice but to let me go.
I will have my chances to catch you. Let Constable Mo go and be gone!
Drop the acting. Enough of your little trick.
You thought you could fool me? Soft-hearted woman.
Chief Constable Cai, should we increase the security at the prison?
I will handle Huang Qi Ying's case myself.
That's all you need to know for now.
Is the Iron Monkey really made of iron?
After being caught by my golden silk, the wound should fester by now.
But there is not a scratch on you.
That's none of your worry.
I hit the Iron Monkey on the left shoulder.
Huang Qi Ying, your stance was steady. You're not wounded at all.
You are the second Iron Monkey that fought me, not the previous one.
In other words, you're here to save the real Iron-Monkey.
Even now, you're covering for his crime.
I don't know what are the monkeys you're talking about.
I don't know anything.
Whether you know anything or not...
...or whether you are the accomplice or simply being nosy...
...you won't get away as long as you go against us.
- Take him away. - Yes!
Old Man Huang!
You can't do this to him, he is the good guy!
Huang Qi Ying killed an officer, execution is what he deserves!
Interrupt the execution ground and you will face the same fate!
Get away from me! Stand aside!
Old Man Huang!
How could you simply leave like this?
Didn't you promise to marry me to Fei Hong?
It seems like you are not destined to be together.
You should go back to France after I died.
You do not belong here.
Old Man Huang, how can you break your promise?
To be honest with you, I have someone on my mind.
I disliked her, I called her 'westerner'.
I said she wasn't behaving and she is a disgrace to the Huang family.
But...
...I do like her a little bit.
What are you talking about?
If it wasn't for my sprained waist, my skills are mighty as well.
Fei Hong learned everything from me!
You mean, you like me?
Perhaps we will find each other in another life.
Till mountains crumble and the earth mingle with the sky.
- Farewell, De Hai Ze. - Old Man Huang!
Let go of me!
Old Man Huang!
No!
What's the matter, miss?
Nothing.
Why would I have such dream?
Judging by his funny look, he might actually had a crush on me.
Now that Fei Hong had an fight with Gui Lan...
...I must grab my chance now and develop our relationship.
Miss, you've been here all day, is there anything you need?
This is the latest product from our shop.
This is called 'Eternal Love'. It's imported from Ireland.
There is an old saying,
danger can never be overcome without taking risks.
I will take all of these and three boxes of the soap.
I will take the meatballs and Portuguese egg tarts as well.
It's been half a month.
When will you show yourself, Iron Monkey?
Huang Fei Hong, look at what I bought for you.
Portuguese egg tarts, desserts and some fruits too.
Where is my 'Eternal Love'?
- These things must be expensive. - That's for sure.
I am doing this add a little fun to our life.
Making you like me even more.
Man and woman, keep the distance.
What time are we living in now? Don't be so stiff-minded.
Miss De, let me give you an example.
I am a Chinese man.
Those soap of yours are too western for me.
I am not used to using those. I grew up using grease soap.
Grease soaps are good.
I know what it is. Those grease soaps you talked about...
...they are made from pig fat. How disgusting is that.
You've never used my soap, you won't know it's good unless you try.
What wrong with pig fat? That's what gives them the fragrance.
- Look. - Why am I telling you this.
Help me think of a way to find the Iron Monkey.
The Iron Monkey?
Catching bad guys is a man's work. How would I know anything?
- It's empty. - See?
I told you can't trust those western goods seller.
Chinese shops are more trust worthy.
This is too much, I will go back to the shop.
Take it slowly.
Catching bad guys is a man's work? Mo Gui Lan does that too.
Not good for me.
" Closed "
That's weird. They were still open just now.
Why are they close in such a short time?
This is not soap.
It's hateful of them to sell empty boxes...
...and scam the people with this thing.
I will expose these scammers.
- What are you doing? - Why are you here?
- What are you trying to do? - Stay right there!
This box here can use sorcery.
Come any closer and it will suck you in!
Back off!
- What's the matter? - She is...
I am the manager of this department store.
Everyone is my customer.
Is there some kind of misunderstanding, miss?
I bought a soap from you this morning but the box was empty.
That is our fault.
We will give you some soaps as a apology.
Problem solved.
- We can solve it now. - Stop there!
Then give me the tape, miss.
- But, why are you selling fakes? - Fake? What are you talking about?
These are hard soaps. Please, give me the tape.
I just changed this tape this morning. It's a waste to give it to you.
How arrogant. I won't go easy on you!
Don't come any closer!
What are you trying to do now? Don't come any closer!
Fine! I will give it to you. I will give you the tape.
Here it is, sir.
She tricked me with ribbon!
- After her! - Yes, sir.
What's the matter? What's the rush for?
Huang Fei Hong, I just met some bad guys.
Who bullied you?
I went to the department store just now.
Those profiteers are scammers!
They use a big chunk of black metal as soap.
Luckily, I recorded it. They almost smashed this thing.
- Are you hurt? - I am fine.
- And the machine? - It's fine as well.
One day, I will definitely expose their lies.
Good then.
- What's on your mind? - I am thinking that...
...the Iron Monkey hasn't shown up for days.
Opium store was heavily guarded by Cai San Yan...
...so, he can't make a move.
As long as he doesn't show up, your father is the Iron Monkey.
- Nonsense. - If you are the Iron Monkey...
...what is your plan now?
Takeda.
Takeda is Iron Monkey's prime target.
If we can eliminate this opium dealer, all the opium store here will be gone.
But where is he right now?
We find the source of the opium, we find him.
But Cai San Yan caught me once.
It won't be easy to get any words from the dealers.
Huang Fei Hong, your martial arts is great...
...but your mind is brilliant too!
If you have a half-blood son, will he be smarter and stronger than you?
You think too much. There's another thing that bugs me.
Judging by his actions, the Iron Monkey is a gallant man too.
If we found him and trade him for my father's freedom, is that right?
Gui Lan!
Huang Fei Hong, watch out!
- Retreat! - Let's go!
Gui Lan, are you alright?
- I am fine, how is your camera? - I'll take a look.
Why are you here?
- Is your wound healed? - I am fine.
I was here to see if you are healed...
...but the Bao Zhi Lin has enough medicine for that.
It's better to stay out of your sight.
If there's nothing else, go home.
- Don't you want to know why I'm here? - Not interested.
I've been watching Cai San Yan, he is acting strange lately.
What's this all about? A drill, now?
Calm down, this is a serious matter. It was Chief Constable Cai's order.
Chief Constable Cai gave you a new order?
Yes! There's a grand event in the city after a few days.
Chief Constable Cai has ordered us to get prepared.
Catch the Iron Monkey if he comes.
This seems like a serious matter. Catching this guy must be important.
That is...
Sir Cai said you won't be taking part in this.
I'm not taking part in this? This must be about the Iron Monkey.
We are all colleagues. Don't make it hard for us.
They are taking precaution against me.
For days afterwards...
...I have tried my best but I can't get anything from them.
Cai San Yan believes that the Iron Monkey has accomplice.
Even if they caught the Iron Monkey...
...they might still hold your father guilty.
I will continue to investigate this lead.
I will tell you if I have any news.
Thank you, Constable Mo. This is the Huang family's matter.
I risk my job to tell you this.
That's because I believe your father is not the culprit.
- I am... - Go home and don't come again.
Why are you treating me like this? What have I done to you?
Gui Lan, why is your arm bleeding?
I am fine.
- Come, I'll treat your wound. - I am fine.
Such wound must be very common for Constable Mo.
Her arm is hurt but not her leg. Walking shouldn't be a problem.
Fine, I will leave at once.
Huang Fei Hong, I will never come back here again!
Gui Lan!
- She left just like that. - What else can she do?
Huang Fei Hong, I hate your Chinese Kung Fu now!
I don't get it.
Wouldn't you be glad that I hate Gui Lan?
You think you can mistreat a woman just because...
...you are handsome and you know martial arts?
Yes, we are soaps and not the grease soap you like...
...but we have our pride as well!
I hate you!
Little Huang, weren't you playing outside just now?
I can't sleep with those noises.
Sorry, it's our fault for waking you up.
Little Huang.
Why did you chase her away?
I think you do like her very much.
We can play with her.
She can be the Iron Monkey and we can catch her.
She is hurt. She can't be the Iron Monkey.
I have made a 'Iced Tofu Balm' lately. It can make her wound better.
It's better that she leaves.
She keeps coming here to inform me, it's not easy to be on two sides.
That can't be good.
I don't care, I feel so bored lately. You won't even play soccer with me.
If you play soccer with us, you'll get hurt just like her.
That's true.
But women will never understand. Come, go to bed now.
Hai Ze.
I made you angry yesterday, it was my fault.
I came here to apologize.
Forget about it, Your apology is too much for me.
You gave me a fright yesterday.
Now my legs are both sore and weak, as if they've been filled with metal.
How about I take a look at your pulse?
I will get some medicines for you from Bao Zhi Lin.
Don't bother.
Get revenge for me.
This is the tape of that department store.
I have developed the film. Report this to the yamen.
Don't worry, I will bring them to justice.
Wait, Chinese Kung Fu.
Buy me some cheeses on your way back.
No problem, stay here.
Don't forget.
Madam, do you sell chilli powder?
Yes, made from heaven facing pepper. They are very spicy.
I will take a pack of that.
Gentlemen. You came by my house yesterday and now you are...
- ...in the mood to pick a fight? - Give us the tape.
That's what you want? Just say so and I'll give it to you.
My eyes hurt!
Do me a favour and pass a message for me.
Alright there.
- Mr. Liu. - Miss De.
I am here to give Fei Hong the monthly ledger of Bao Zhi Lin, where is he?
He is investigating the opium dealer. He isn't back yet.
I heard about what happened to Uncle Huang.
Fei Hong is still trying to solve this case.
How was it? Any progress so far?
As long as the Iron Monkey is not arrested...
...there is no chance to save Old Man Huang.
That's why Fei Hong is fussing over it.
But I will stay by his side and help him to get through the difficulty.
How about you stay here for a meal?
If you insist, then I shall stay.
- Zhi - Look at my 'Mighty Water Pistol!'
Yes, impressive.
- Do you still remember me? - Sure, I remember you.
You are Sir Justice Bao, isn't that right?
- Why the rush? - Come over here.
Let me tell you something. I saw something that I shouldn't have.
Don't panic, take it slowly.
He will stop opium from invading the street even if he knew it was a trap.
I knew the Iron Monkey would do that, that's why I secretly helped him.
So Huang Fei Hong and his father are the Iron Monkeys.
We were all kept in the dark.
Yes, what should I do now?
If I were you, I will sacrifice the family for the better good.
Right.
Wait, who is my family? Who are we supposed to sacrifice?
What I mean is Little Huang may be treating you well.
But he is the Iron Monkey and he committed crimes.
You should report about this.
You said he is treating me well.
- He bought me many delicious foods. - Sometimes, he is not that good.
He sticks needles on you, remember?
Right, he sticks needles on me. But he said that was for my own good.
For your own good? Then why don't he do that on himself?
So what he said was not entirely true either.
If you say it that way, it does make sense.
Remember this.
After 8 o' clock tomorrow morning, hit the drum at yamen.
If anyone calls you a mad man, just think of them as idiots.
- Mad man. - Idiot.
Mad man.
- De Hai Ze. - Little Huang, you are back.
Hua Sheng, you are here too.
I am here to tell you that Bao Zhi Lin is getting low on money.
Low on money? I will keep you with me then.
I will take some rice.
Did you buy the cheese?
Hai Ze, that cheese stinks, what's so good about it?
I bought it.
But it's a little crumbled. I'm not sure if you can still eat it.
You can even eat it that way?
Thank you, Huang Fei Hong.
Why are you crying?
Is the cheese too stinky?
It's not that.
Ever since my father passed away when I was 15 years-old...
...no one has ever bought me cheese.
- Thank you, Chinese Kung Fu. - It was nothing.
Right, I almost forgot. Some killers was after me just now.
Thank you. The martial arts they used...
...are the same as those who came into our house.
All that happened just now?
- Are you hurt? - Me? Getting hurt?
I used my brilliant mind and bought them a small gift.
But, where did it go?
- My eyes! - Zhi!
That powder is made from heaven facing chillies.
How could I know what it is? You are bully!
- But this is... - I wash those off for him.
- Hurry up! - Come, this way.
Be careful!
I think...
...what we must do now is to take a look at what's in your tape.
This is the fake soap those people sold me.
Killing someone to cover their tracks over a mere fake soap?
- You mean they are after my tape? - Very likely.
I had someone to interrogate with, but he killed himself.
The way he killed himself looks very familiar.
Could they be the Japanese?
Since the ancient times, people discovered that...
...waving a burning stick...
...will form something like a fiery string.
To put it simply, if the speed is fast enough and the gap is short...
...these separate images will look like a continuous movement.
Please give a way. Look at the front.
Miss De, you are almighty indeed. Anything you recorded can move.
Why you being so mysterious?
Watch out!
- Are you alright? - What's wrong with you?
We having a movie here!
Pause.
So, that's what it is.
Hua Sheng, do you recognize this thing?
I have seen it before, but never such a big piece.
- What are you talking about? - This is a piece opium.
Look at these boxes, how many opium are there?
- They want us dead because of this? - Correct.
They don't want us to discover the secrets in your tape.
Will this save Old Man Huang?
This department store is keeping so many opium...
...it must be Takeda's den.
If we watch them closely...
...we surely can find the Iron Monkey and save my father.
That's great!
Once he is released, I will let him marry me to you.
- What are you talking about? - Miss De, how interesting you are.
This thing is funny! I will shoot a recording for you.
- Zhi! - Be careful not to break it!
It's burnt! The camera is burnt!
Water leaked into it, can we let it dry off?
How would that work?
This is made in France, the machine is sturdy...
...a hit wouldn't have broken it.
But if the water leaked in, it all done for.
Don't worry about it, I will get someone to fix it.
It can only be fixed in France!
Little Huang, you should go to France with her.
Good idea, deal.
- What are you talking about? - It's just a suggestion.
That is our deal, it needs to be fixed in France.
Good, let's see what kind of mess can you come up with.
" Closed temporarily "
Closing so soon? They must be taking precautions.
Sir, are you here to deliver good for this store?
No.
Could he be the opium dealer, Takeda Hideyoshi?
So this Sweet Department Store is his opium storehouse.
De Hai Ze really got a lucky strike this time.
Jerk! Iron Monkey, it's you again!
You made a mess at my opium party, and now you came to ambush me.
I will end you here!
Brother, this can't be it. Come with me to the judge.
There is time to beat the Japanese after I saved my dad!
I promise not to be nosy in this.
- Stand aside! - Stand aside!
- Protect Sir Takeda! - Yes, sir!
Constable Cai, you are right on time! I will leave this to you!
- Don't worry, sir. You can go now. - Jerk!
Chief Constable Cai, my father is still in the prison...
...but the Iron Monkey is still at large.
So my father is not the Iron Monkey.
Now that you know the truth, please release my father now.
W e can't prove his innocence before we caught the Iron Monkey.
Are you blind?
Didn't you see that just now? That's the Iron Monkey!
- And you are protecting the Japanese? - What's wrong with Japanese?
Guangzhou is an open port.
All merchant are protected by the laws of imperial court.
But Takeda is no normal merchant, he sells opium!
All but talks, any evidence on that?
The evidence is in that carriage, but your men pulled that away.
What you mean is...
...my men are helping Sir Takeda in selling the opium?
Huang Fei Hong, stop this madness of yours.
- My patience has its limit. - I...
I assure you, he was carrying opium on that cart.
Opium or not, that is our concern.
A commoner like you has no right to intervene.
If you keep on with this nonsense, I will teach you a lesson myself.
But, this is...
My heart is aching.
What a brute.
" Huang's Mansion "
I will terminate you for the Iron Monkey!
Zhi, stop wearing that mask or Cai San Yan will arrest you.
Don't worry, I will defeat all of them!
Did you find the opium source?
They were right before me but Cai San Yan messed everything up.
Looks like Old Man Huang won't be getting out for now.
I don't understand.
Corrupted officers like Tong Guan and Hua Mei Tu may serve the Japanese.
But Cai San Yan aced in martial arts, why is he serving them too?
They should all be punished!
Don't you think Zhi is acting weird lately?
He is always acting strange.
Stay up for tonight, I have something to show you.
