Sandy, why do you want to go to Fung Ming Gui?
They're not making the commercial anymore.
You want to see Fung Yat-Bo?
The Dynasty Group bought Fung Ming Gui
and Ivan is now in charge.
There's still hope for the commercial if Ivan is willing.
Thank you, everyone.
Yes...
Bye! Bye!
Bye, Shifu!
Bye!
See you!
Shifu, you must be tired. Let me drop you.
I don't want to trouble you.
I still can't hold a spatula or get my hand wet.
You're in charge of the kitchen.
I'm your protege. That's my job.
One more thing...
Did you tell anyone about me and Miss Ling?
Don't worry! I won't forget what you and Ling told me.
I have a tight trap.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
I better go.
See you tomorrow. Bye!
Hello, Sandy? Ivan just left Fung Ming Gui.
Sandy?
I want a drink...
Why are you drunk?
You drank the whole bottle? Are you OK?
Chu Ka-heen, why are you so petty?
We can't be friends anymore?
Do we have to act like strangers?
I came over to ask you. Answer me!
Why did you get so drunk?
Just tell me if you're unhappy.
That's none of your business.
What happened to me is entirely your fault.
The Dynasty Group shut me out
and you colluded with Terry to sideline me.
I only have one job left to do.
Guess what role I'm playing! I'm an extra.
Sandy, don't be like this.
I'll help you if you need any help.
We're still friends, right?
You still consider me a friend?
Then you're the only friend I have.
I don't know who else to go to.
Sandy, I promise I'll be there for you if you're unhappy.
Sandy! I'll take you home.
What are you doing?
Did I scare you, Master Uncle?
Are you trying to kill me?
Don't move! Drop that and raise your hands.
Why, Master Uncle?
Just do it! Keep them up!
Fung Yat-Bo! Li Siu-Tung, get over here!
Both of you, raise your hands!
Stick together...
You're in big trouble!
Tell me honestly, who are you?
What do you mean? I'm Wan Tai-Kwan.
I'm Bo. Have you forgotten about us?
Master Uncle, you don't remember Siu-Tung?
Like the characters on TV, you have amnesia?
Stay away from me! Keep your hands up.
Back up.
Quit your act with me!
I checked your working permits and I.D. cards
I called the town office of your home town.
There were someone in your home town
called Wan Tai-Kwan, Fung Yat-Bo and Li Siu-Tung.
But they were sleeping at home when I called.
And they have never left town for the last 6 months.
Where did you get your fake I.D.s?
You wormed you way into Fung Ming Gui, what do you want?
Don't pull any monkey business!
You can fool Chi, but you can't fool me.
Who are you?
Bo, you're better with words.
Why don't you explain to him?
We didn't mean to lie, but we had no choice.
The truth is too bizarre,
I don't know where to begin.
You wouldn't believe us even if we told you.
But you must believe we harbor no ill intent towards Fung Ming Gui.
No more games.
I'm not a patient man. Don't push me.
Are you fugitives?
You left me no choice. I'm calling the cops.
You're dead. First "9"...
Master Uncle, with God as our witness,
we harbor no ill intent towards Fung Ming Gui
Don't toy with me! Second "9"...
You're being unreasonable.
What will it take for you to believe we're not the bad guys?
I told you I'm not a patient man.
Be lenient wherever it's possible.
Master Uncle, don't bully us.
Hey... are you trying to shut me up.
Brother Tin will be worried if I don't go down
and he'll call the Police and have you arrested.
Looks like we must tell him the truth.
I'm Yuan Chonghuan, the Commander of the Great Ming Imperial Guards.
I'm Zuo Guangdou, a strategist and a scholar of the Donglin Academy.
I'm Xiao Li from the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
He said he had work to do. Did he sneak out?
What's this? These are our employment contracts.
You brought them home?
Brother Tai said Dynasty's Legal Department wanted them.
So I brought them back here.
But Heen never said anything.
You can't just leave them here.
Auntie Fun, gather them up and take them back to Fung Ming Gui.
He's not answering the phone.
I'll go look for him.
She had him on a short leash.
What's this manila envelope doing here?
What?
Tai-Kwan's contracts were in here.
Did you bring them here? I'll look for them in Fung Ming Gui.
I'll go. Keep in touch.
Dad, I'll check the roof.
I'm coming with you.
Now I know who you are.
You're lunatics.
What will it take for you to believe us?
We came from the Ming Dynasty.
Do I look stupid to you?
If you're Zuo Guangdou, I'm Zhuge Liang.
You're wrong, I'm Yuan Chonghuan, Commander of the Ming Imperial Guards.
I'm Zuo Guangdou.
I'm Li Jinzhong, Xiao Li from the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
A eunuch? Eunuchs have something missing.
Prove it. Pull down your pants.
Why must you put me on the spot?
You have no guts?
Then stop making up stories.
Knowing kung fu makes you a general?
Reciting ancient prose makes you a Grand Secretariat?
If you claim to be a eunuch, pull down your pants.
That's too much, Master Uncle!
You have gone too far.
Uncle Tai!
Miss Chi! Master 'I'm!
Good! These 3 lunatics have something wrong with their I.D.s,
Call the cops and have them arrested.
Siu-Tung just won 5 stars for us.
You're the lunatic if you call him a lunatic.
Uncle Tai, let's talk downstairs.
Come on...
No, they said they're from the Ming Dynasty.
He said he's General Yuan Chonghuan.
You're wrong again. I'm Zuo Guangdou.
I'm Yuan Chonghuan.
See? They're a complete nutcase.
They're lunatics.
We brought 3 lunatics from Foshan.
General? Grand Secretariat?
Siu-Tung, you must be the Crown Prince.
No, I'm not. I'm a page from the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
Stop! I know you're actors.
But you're really scaring Tai.
Chi, if they stayed with filming, they'd be a hit.
Dad, they're not acting.
Tell him your real names.
Yes, Miss Chi!
I'm Yuan Chonghuan, the Commander of the Great Ming Imperial Guards.
I'm Zuo Guangdou, a strategist and a scholar of the Donglin Academy.
I'm Xiao Li from the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
I should have known these clowns are weird.
This one sends things flying across the room with immeasurable Ocean.
This one recites ancient Chinese prose
and this one can cook imperial cuisines from centuries ago.
They can't stay here.
Chi, your Uncle Tai is right.
Letting them stay is like
planting a bomb in Fung Ming Gui.
That's too dangerous.
We should send them back to China.
Yes! I'll get the tickets tomorrow and send them on their way.
As far away as possible. Make sure they don't come back.
What happened to your conscience?
They're the reason we earned the Silver Ribbon 5 stars.
Forget your conscience,
you must know the numbers add up if you let them stay.
One is our security guard.
One looks after the books for us.
The other is Fung Ming Gui's icon.
We're only paying them minimum wage.
They're antiques who add up
to over 1,000 years old.
It's one thing if I didn't know,
the thought of them around makes me uneasy.
Hold that thought!
Chi, tell us how the numbers add up.
Simple! We don't have to give them a raise,
No statutory holiday.
They only care about finding their Crown Princess.
They'll go back to the Ming Dynasty as soon as they find her.
We'll just say goodbye and no need to pay severance.
Dad, am I right?
Uncle Tai, you're good with Maths.
Isn't this to our advantage?
Hello, Miss Chi?
Great! Please say thank you to Master Tin and Master Tai. Bye!
Master Tin and Master Uncle agreed
not to tell anyone who we are.
Brother Tai-Kwan, Brother Bo, did you hear me?
I'm the Commander of the Imperial Guards.
I lead my men to war.
I never had to hide.
Now I can't even speak my name.
How can I stand it?
What about me?
I studied hard for years
just so I can make a name for myself.
Now I must go into hiding and make compromises.
Life is but a big dream,
that does not consist of too many autumns.
Rustling winds through leaves echo in the corridor,
From the mirror I see my eyebrows and temple-hair hoar.
Don't be disheartened.
I'll always follow your leads.
Remember we have a job to do?
We must bring the Crown Princess back to the Ming Dynasty.
I remember.
Remember we must settle the score with Zhang Cheng?
I remember.
What about Wei Zhongxian?
We must kill him and change the history of Ming.
Siu-Tung is right! Bo, we must not feel sorry for ourselves.
We must endure to achieve this important task.
A little setback won't discourage us.
One for all and all for one,
I believe we can overcome anything.
One for all and all for one!
Ivan, Cat told me you're working on Fung Ming Gui's commercial.
How's it going? Who's the spokesperson?
We're still working on it.
I have some initial thoughts.
But I'd like Daddy's advice.
Don't ask me. I have nothing to say.
I put you in charge of Fung Ming Gui,
I won't start pointing fingers.
Use anyone you like.
Anyone or their dog is OK with me.
Even if your Dad doesn't want to know, I do.
Which star are you going to use?
Nothing is final.
Man or woman?
Anyone we worked with before?
Tell me, I can give you suggestions.
Kiu, don't ask him.
You think Ivan would use a dog?
I'm turning Dynasty over to him sooner or later.
I don't need to get involved in everything.
I don't want to act before I tell you.
You may not like my choice.
Don't tell me! Never mind what I think.
Do as you see fit. I'll respect your decision.
But...
I told you I'm not listening.
I won't comment on anything.
Do what you want to do.
You're a grown man, just do it!
Uncle Leung, what are you looking at?
Don't you want to watch TV upstairs?
You can have my umbrella.
I'll head back up.
Don't stay down here too long. You'll get a heat stroke.
The late Emperor died before he completed his great task.
Now that the Empire is divided into three
and Yi Province is in trouble,
We have reached a critical moment.
Will you relax?
I can make friends with anyone.
Whether they're from Ming or Song,
I won't be prejudiced against them.
As long as we work together for the good of Fung Ming Gui,
we're like family.
I'm glad you're so understanding.
Though we come from the Ming Dynasty,
we're no different from anyone in 2017.
Just treat us like ordinary folks.
Of course. You don't have 3 eyes and 2 noses.
No one would know you're from the Ming Dynasty.
I'd say Uncle Man-mo behaves more like someone from the Ming Dynasty.
Tai-Kwan, I read from Wuxia novels,
ancient people know kung fu and they hit acupoints, is that true?
I read somewhere you have a son called Yuan Chengzhi.
Was he born before your time travel?
Don't believe in storytellers.
I'm dedicated to my country.
I have yet to start a family,
why would I have a son?
Don't read too much into this,
please treat us like normal people.
Right! Of course you're normal people.
Bo, I gather you're a court minister.
What was your rank? And your salary?
You have double pay? What about bonus?
Master Tin, you promised to treat us like ordinary folks,
please stop asking us about the Ming Dynasty
Right! Ordinary folks.
I won't ask you anymore.
Hey, get out! Give me a hand.
What happened?
We blew a tire. Get me a jack.
Jack? Jack who?
A jack is used to lift a car,
like when you change the tire.
No need for that. Let me help you.
Is that high enough for you?
Yes! Hold still, I'll get the spare.
Yes, sir!
You can lift a car,
how can I treat you like an ordinary man?
This is the time-traveling outfit for Sandy.
What do you think?
Thanks for giving Sandy a second chance.
We'll do our best and won't let you down.
I have complete faith in Sandy.
Terry! Yes?
Can you work out Sandy's schedule with the director?
Ceci, you have Sandy's schedule?
Yes!
Come here!
Director!
Ivan!
What did you say to Terry?
What do you mean?
As soon as I showed up at the office,
Terry told me he turned down that bit part for me in Baby's film
and assigned Ceci back to me.
He acts like a completely different person.
I'm not lying. I didn't tell him anything.
I sent a letter in the name of Dynasty Group
and told them we will sponsor your canceled activities again.
Thanks, Ivan!
I thought I gave you trouble when I was drunk
and you won't treat me like a friend anymore
I ought to thank you for doing our commercial.
Chi will be here in another hour.
Let's go through your outfit with the director.
Uncle Leung, what are you looking at? Let's go up.
Dad! Tai-Kwan! Bo!
What are you doing here with Uncle Leung?
I saw Uncle Leung standing here when I got out of class.
Auntie Hung said he's been standing here the whole afternoon.
He kept saying he wants to watch the sky.
I'm here because I was afraid he might run out into the street,
Brother Leung, be good.
I'll turn on the air con upstairs and get you a chair.
You can watch the sky by the window.
There are cars on the street.
If anything happens to you,
I wouldn't know how to face my late father-in-law.
The winds and clouds are about to change.
If I missed it, I wouldn't know the secrets of heaven.
Once I learn of the secrets, I'll go back upstairs.
Chef Lau, the secrets of heaven must not be disclosed.
Even if you found out the secret,
you must not act against the will of heaven.
Why don't you go up and get some rest?
Kwan is right! I'm going up now.
Great! Kei, Chi needs to work on the commercial.
Keep an eye on Uncle Leung. He's not himself today.
Chef Lau!
No problem! You can count on me.
Master Tin! Miss Kei!
Siu-Tung!
Tai-Kwan! Bo!
What's wrong, Siu-Tung?
Miss Ling just told me on the phone,
Miss Wong will make the Fung Ming Gui commercial.
Miss Chi and Master Uncle will have a meeting with them.
Master Tin and Master Uncle knew we're from the Ming Dynasty.
The cracks of their teeth are rather big,
they're likely to have a big mouth.
Our secret won't be save with them much longer.
We should find the Crown Princess
and return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.
Then we must find out if Miss Wong if the Crown Princess.
If it was a complete misunderstanding,
we shouldn't waste time on her.
Let's go to the meeting with Miss Chi
and ask Miss Wong face to face.
She knows who we are
and is likely to guard against us.
To get the truth from her,
we need the help from someone she won't suspect.
Haven't you heard? A girl would only talk to a girl.
No!
That's quite normal.
I read that from Miss Kei's magazine.
I mean we should ask Miss Chi to be our undercover,
and sound her out for us.
You are truly brilliant.
But only the boss can order his staff
and not the other way around.
It won't be easy to get Miss Chi involved.
To defeat the Cao troops, it's best to use fire.
Everything is ready except the easterly wind.
Chef Lau?
What are you doing here?
Do they know you're down here?
Remember how Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao
and won the Battle of Red Cliffs?
Chef Lau, I'll escort you back to Fung Ming Gui.
Master Tin will be worried if he found you missing again.
You haven't answered me.
Zhuge Liang built an altar,
on which he summoned the easterly wind.
The wind changed directions
blew the fire towards Cao Cads fleet
in what is later known as the burning of the chained barges.
What's the meaning of bringing that up?
Bo, you're a smart man.
Surely you know its meaning.
How perceptive of you!
To solicit Miss Chis help,
we need the easterly wind to turn things around.
Siu-Tung, you're the easterly wind.
You're very promising.
Siu-ting is the head chef,
he controls Fung Ming Gui's lifeline.
You know it's Miss Chis family business.
It means the world to her.
I see. Siu-Tung is the key to our success.
If Miss Chi won't help us,
Siu-Tung, you'll quit.
Waiter! Bring us a scholar's 4 jewels.
We don't have that.
Samuel, we fought against each other for nothing.
My husband is completely blind to us.
He only cares about his son.
Even if Ivan is not up to par,
he still wants to put him in charge.
Everything we did was to help pave the way for his son.
Haven't you figured that out by now?
First he buys Fung Ming Gui.
Then he puts Ivan in charge.
Your husband arranged every step.
Ivan is on the same side as the Fongs.
When he takes over the Group,
there's no place for us.
I won't give up so easily.
I made Dynasty what it is today.
I have a share in the 33 restaurants within the Group.
You have done your share for the Group.
You're resolved with getting kicked out?
So what if we think it's unfair?
We have no right.
Naturally Uncle Fung wants to leave the company to a Chu.
If you have a piece, get a Chu to fight it for you.
What do you mean?
Call Yiu-yiu.
She's not your child, but she's close to you
Ivan calls you Auntie,
but Yiu-yiu calls you Mom.
The key is, she's a Chu.
Thanks for the coffee. I must get back to work.
To Miss Wai-chi,
Learnt from past mistakes I have,
time to change direction I will.
Gone far astray I have not,
right decision to make now I will.
Fame and fortune I seek not,
Sadly quit my job I must.
Yours Sincerely, Xiao Li
Nice handwriting. What does it mean?
I think it's a letter of resignation.
Please take a look. Need a touch up?
Such excellent penmanship!
Your handwriting is enough proof of our determination.
Siu-Tung, put your fingerprint on this.
Yes!
The person you're waiting for is here.
To conquer or to die. Let's go!
Yes!
Chef Lau, we're in a hurry.
Make it quick.
There's be a thunderstorm in 5 minutes.
I'm seldom wrong with predicting astronomical phenomenon.
Hey!
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy? Coming from the Ming Dynasty
doesn't mean you're immortals.
Out of our way. We have a meeting.
Miss Chi, we need to talk.
We won't keep you long.
Uncle Tai, wait for me in the car.
I'll find out what they're up to.
What's wrong with you?
Can't this wait till after my meeting?
We have unsubstantiated proof.
We suspect Miss Wong is hiding her true identity from us.
She's in fact Guo Qian,
a civilian hand-picked by the Crow Prince to be his Crown Princess.
You have amnesia?
She already told you she's not.
You Googled her.
Unlike you, she didn't come from nowhere.
The will of heaven may be inexplicable to ordinary men like us.
That's why we must seek the truth.
At your upcoming meeting,
we need you to sound her out.
Then we'll know her true identity.
I have work to do.
I don't have time for something this stupid.
On my count to three, get out of my way.
One...
We had no choice, please help us.
Two...
Please help us out.
Three!
If you won't budge,
don't blame us for being ruthless.
Is this a bluff!
There are 8 lines in this scroll.
Every word represents our heartfelt wishes.
Please take a look.
What's this? What past mistakes?
Sadly? About what? What are you saying?
I used simple words and made it short and to the point.
You can't tell it's Siu-tung's resignation?
Resignation?
Yes! That's my fingerprint.
If you refuse to help us,
I will resign as the Head Chef of Fung Ming Gui.
I'll bury you with us.
Bury you...
Stop!
Do you understand the spirit of your contract?
You signed a contract.
You can't quit by giving me a scroll full of words I don't understand.
Breaching a contract is a big deal.
It's useless to bluff us.
I'm familiar with the Hong Kong Labor Legislation.
We're not from here, we're not bound by the law.
If you must take legal action,
you'll only get in trouble for hiring illegal workers.
You're forcing my hand.
Just this once, please?
If we don't find the Crown Princess,
what can we tell the Crown Prince?
Miss Chi, allow us to force your hand.
Chi, we have to go, we'll be late.
Coming...
Don't make it a habit! I'll call you.
Imagine in a detached time and space,
Sandy is from the future.
Her mission is to go back in time
in search for a long lost taste.
Then we jump to 2017,
she keeps looking and looking, until she finds it.
What do they want?
Nothing! They said they'll go home soon.
Fung Ming Gui brings you an epoch-making taste.
Look, our team
has designed this time traveling outfit for Sandy.
We have another one in pink...
What?
Point this at Sandy,
but don't let her see you.
We picked out several locations in Hong Kong
for the time-traveling scene...
I have a suggestion.
I like this epoch-making idea.
I have an interesting story
I'd like to share with you.
Let's see if it'll fit into the commercial.
The story is the exact opposite.
It's not about the future,
it happened in the Ming Dynasty.
OK!
Sis, let the professionals do the creative.
Miss Fong represents Fung Ming Gui
and it's their commercial.
I'd like to hear it.
Miss Fong, where did you hear about it?
Some friends told me.
It's rather interesting, that's why I'd like to share it.
Maybe we can use it in the commercial.
The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is getting married.
He sent a wedding entourage
to escort his bride to the Forbidden City.
But they ran into assassins.
Luckily, a general was a member of the entourage
and he killed all the assassins.
Only 4 people survived the attack.
The Crown Princess, the general,
a minister and a eunuch.
Did they get away?
Did you see any changes in Miss Wong's expression?
No!
None!
Inside the forest...
What is a cloud forest?
Did the assassins go after them?
Is it possible Miss Wong only heard this story for the first time?
Don't jump to conclusions.
Focus and keep looking.
Don't miss any of her micro expressions
Yes, Brother Tai-Kwan.
They were separated.
What happened afterwards?
You'll find that hard to believe.
They traveled through time to 2017.
What do you think of the story, Miss Wong?
I think... it's quite interesting.
Director, let's use Miss Fong's story.
I'll be the Crown Princess.
Sandy, just because my sister brought it up,
don't feel obliged to agree with it.
It was just a suggestion.
I think the story is attractive.
I'd like to dress up as the Crown Princess in this commercial.
It'll be different. Right, Terry?
Sure! People love you in costumes.
If we all like the story,
let's use this in our storyboard.
Let's say they traveled through time,
and they followed a smell to Fung Ming Gui.
What do you think?
OK! I'll redo the storyboard.
That shouldn't affect our shooting schedule.
Hello, Miss Wong! I'm sorry I shot off my mouth with that story.
Now we need to change the location and redo everything.
Please don't say that, Miss Fong.
Actually I found the story fascinating the first time I heard it.
Use that story for Fung Ming Gui's commercial. It really fits.
You heard it before? Who told you?
The same person who told you.
Tai-Kwan is the general, Bo is the minister,
and Siu-Tung is the eunuch, right?
They kept saying I'm their Crown Princess
and wanted to bring me back to the Ming Dynasty.
That was the first time I heard it.
You really can't blame them.
They were extras in Foshan, they can't pull away from their characters.
They keep calling me Princess Xiang-xiang
and my Dad Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
They're rather fun.
Right...
Next time I come across suitable roles,
I'll be sure to ask them.
Can you invite my Auntie Hung? She's a huge fan.
Before I came, she wanted me to ask you for a poster with your autograph.
As the advertiser, you're the boss.
I'll do what I can.
I should have posters at home.
Drop by anytime to pick it up.
When is a good time?
Why not tonight? I'm not busy.
But I have two requests.
One, don't be a stranger and call me Miss Wong.
Just call me Sandy.
OK! And what else?
Two, don't leave after you get the poster.
I'll open a bottle of wine
so we can sit down and chat.
What?
You saw her.
She acted normal when she heard the story.
I think you should leave her alone.
She's actually quite nice.
I'm meeting her at her flat for drinks.
What? You're kidding.
Alright... this is really the last time.
Absolutely no more.
Don't throw your letter of resignation in my face.
Alright... bye!
I have something to do,
I'm not going back to Fung Ming Gui.
Finish up over here and go give them a hand.
Especially you, Heen!
Siu-Tung has not fully recovered.
Relax! Heen and I will be there soon.
Before Siu-Tung is well,
Heen will be there every day.
As Shifu's protege, you can count on me.
I better run.
Sure! People love you in costumes.
If we all like the story,
let's use this in our storyboard
about these 4 ancient people.
I believe I left my phone.
This one?
Yes. Thank you! You're welcome.
Miss Fong... mind if I call you Chi?
Not at all.
I'll head back to the office now.
Ceci will send you my address and phone number later.
See you tonight.
Bye, everyone. See you!
