Tonight at 8 o'clock...
...a man wearing traditional costumes
barged into a convenient store in Causeway Bay
and started a fight with the attendant...
Yuan Chonghuan... have you seen him?
Have you seen Yuan Chonghuan?
The Police suspect this man is psychologically unstable
and is prone to violence.
If anyone knows of his whereabouts,
please contact the Police.
Director!
What's your name?
Li Jinzhong.
The Imperial Astronomer evaluated you.
They see regality in your brows.
Among all the newcomers,
you have the bearing worth cultivating.
You come from humble origin,
I'll make an exception and take you in as my disciple.
I'll teach you to read and fight.
You must serve the Eastern Depot when you grow up.
I don't want to learn kung fu.
I only wish to be a page at the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
Miss Chi, what brings you here at this hour?
Is something the matter?
Siu-Tung, I think I'm in trouble.
Zhang Cheng followed me here.
What?
What is this? How can it blow hot wind?
Relax! This is just a hair dryer.
Relax! How would you like your hair done?
That's right!
You decide.
Me?
Think about it.
Good!
Is that the tiny box that can capture a soul?
This is my cell phone.
Cell phone? Tiny box...
This is different from Yuan Chonghuan's.
Can this tiny box capture someone's soul?
This is yours? Yes.
Then you answer me.
Why is this cell phone glowing?
Can it capture someone's soul?
You're talking about the camera.
We use this to take pictures.
This is for weather report,
and this is the radio.
This tiny box can do all that?
Yes!
You! Me?
Even if we don't sleep tonight,
you must teach me how to use it.
You're kidding.
I have something very important to do.
Is there a restaurant called Fung Ming Gui?
I need one of you to take me there tomorrow.
I don't know the way.
I have to work tomorrow.
I don't know the way... I have to work...
No one dares turn me down.
You don't know the way or you don't want to show me?
No...
I really don't know the way.
You can use the navigation system on the phone.
It can take you there.
Really? Yes!
Teach me how use it, now!
Use this app, then follow...
Your clothes are very different indeed.
You! What?
Take off your clothes.
What?
Mr. Cheuk!
Bo, I'm glad you're here.
Meet the new colleagues from Security.
Zita showed me your budget,
you need 1/3 more money for them?
Don't underestimate their ability.
Champions in Karate, free combat and Muay Thai.
The additional budget is definitely value for money.
What's going on? Why the added security?
You must know. He's your brother.
I have a feeling I'm being followed lately.
I suspect it's Wan Tai-Kwan.
Tell me, is he back?
Yes, he came to see me and wanted me to leave Dynasty,
and go back to Fung Ming Gui and wait tables.
What did you tell him?
If I agreed, I wouldn't be here.
I told him the world has changed during the year he was gone.
There's no turning back for the CEO of Dynasty.
He's still hung up on the Ming Emperor.
But to me, you're the Emperor.
I let you stay because I knew you're different from him.
The world has changed. No more Emperors.
You follow whoever gives you perks.
You have done well over the past year.
Dynasty is expecting some changes.
But don't worry, you'll get much more than you're getting now.
Thank you, Mr. Cheuk!
Mr. Cheuk, young Mr. Chu is waiting for you in your office.
I'll go talk to Ivan.
If your Brother Tai-Kwan bothers you again,
send these men after him.
I don't believe he's invincible.
Sure!
Yuan Chonghuan, Heaven brought me to 2018.
If I don't bring your head back to the Great Ming,
my name is not Zhang Cheng.
Mr. Cheuk, he's the lunatic from last night.
I don't care how, find him.
Siu-Tung made these dishes?
I thought he's never going back into the kitchen.
We can't convince him, Tai-Kwan did.
He brought a lot of ingredients this morning
to help Fung Ming Gui back on its feet.
Young Master Chu, these dishes are Siu-tung's first attempt.
We need you to taste test them for him.
You're his protege and knows his cooking.
See if his cooking is back to standard.
Your Shifu spent a few hours on them,
if he's 80% as good as he was before,
Fung Ming Gui won't have to serve hotpot anymore. Try them.
Yes!
Well? How's the taste? Tell us.
It's normal if his cooking is not as good.
70-80% is good enough.
How about 50%?
Not even 50%?
Siu-Tung has lost his taste.
He made these dishes from memory.
It's understandable if they're below standard.
How bad are these dishes?
I'll level with you.
The sauteed vermicelli with minced pork has the right color,
but it's completely tasteless.
The chicken with Sichuan pepper is so spicy you can't taste the meat.
The shredded pork with soy bean paste
has too much sauce and is very salty.
The pork slices with garlic...
You sound like they're worthless.
They can't be all that bad!
Compared to his cooking from before,
he's not half as good as he was.
To put it bluntly, with his current skill,
he doesn't even qualify as a junior chef in Dynasty.
Siu-tung's only wish is to become a chef,
so he can satisfy people's appetites.
I can't believe he'd end up like this.
To die before his military expedition could succeed,
the regret of it leaves one in tears.
You're Siu-tung's protege and you have similar interests,
why don't you assist him in the kitchen?
Perhaps you can help rebuild his confidence.
Only one person can help Shifu.
Ling, we're counting on you.
Siu-Tung, you can always try again.
As long as you'd go back into the kitchen.
It's useless to try.
Let's forget about getting into top form.
Even food stands won't serve what I make.
You don't have to be a chef.
You said eventually you and your brothers will leave Fung Ming Gui.
You can do something else that you like.
I have changed my mind.
I don't want to hurt innocent people.
I'm staying here for the rest of my life.
You can always do something else.
I'll tell Chi to put you in the dining room.
I'm completely useless if I can't cook.
I don't want to stay here
and become a burden to Miss Chi or Fung Ming Gui.
What is it?
You lost your taste but I haven't.
Let me help you. Let's do it again.
Let's make your signature dish braised ham with honey.
Thank you!
Are you blind? We have construction!
Go around us! What's wrong with you?
The tiny box told me to go straight to Fung Ming Gui,
I will only go straight.
Watch where you're going! What's wrong with you?
Terry!
What are you doing here, Miss Fong?
I couldn't get a hold of Sandy.
Luckily I learn from her fan club website,
she's doing a program at the TV station.
Where is she now?
Stop the program at once.
She'll be in trouble if the program goes on air.
Wait, tell me what's going on.
It's rather complicated but it's a matter of life and death.
Tell Miss Wong to stop everything.
Of course not! We need to pay damages.
Why don't you wait in the canteen?
I'll send Sandy to you after the live program goes off air.
Live program?
Why didn't you say so?
Hey...
Hey, you can't go in!
Sandy, I heard there's a change in your contract with your management company.
It's not that big of a difference.
I just want a bit more autonomy
And choose the work I like.
You're working on a fund raising event for a charity organization, right?
Hey... Excuse me!
Yes, I've been in touch with an organization for women's rights.
My management company is very supportive of my decision.
That's why I hope...
Stop them!
Sandy!
You can't come in...
Stop filming! Give us a hand...
What's going on?
Zhang Cheng is here.
You're in trouble is he sees you on TV.
Let's go! What?
Don't panic!
Even if Zhang Cheng saw you on TV,
he couldn't get here so quickly.
Zhang Cheng is just a eunuch.
You're the Crown Princess and Tai-Kwan is a general,
why are you so afraid of him?
Who the hell is Zhang Cheng?
Those three were white as a ghost when they heard his name,
and you were panicking, Miss Wong.
What's the big deal about him?
Zhang Cheng is not an ordinary eunuch.
He's the director of the Eastern Depot.
He's the most powerful man inside the Forbidden City, not the Emperor.
Courtiers fear him more than they fear the Emperor.
Emperor Wanli had the ambition
to remove these eunuchs who meddled with state affairs.
He sent kung fu experts from Department Six to assassinate Zhang Cheng.
Without its leader,
the castrated gang can be wiped out.
But the assassination attempt failed
because they didn't expect Zhang Cheng to be a kung fu master.
He single-handedly killed all the assassins from Department Six.
The Emperor was so disheartened,
he neglected his duties for 10-20 years.
It wasn't because he was lazy.
He was simply scared of Zhang Cheng.
Don't tell me even Tai-Kwan can't beat him.
He sent Mountain Leopards men flying with immeasurable Ocean.
Commander Yuan is a kung fu expert.
That's why the Crown Prince asked him
to head up Department Six against the Eastern Depot.
But he's not good enough to beat Zhang Cheng
No wonder Zhang Cheng bragged about chopping off Yuan Chonghuan's head.
We can't hide from him forever.
Let's strike a deal with Zhang Cheng.
Why bring a grudge from 400 years ago to modern times?
It really wasn't a blood feud, right?
The Crown Prince was assisted by Minister Zuo and Commander Yuan.
He had a nightmare
and killed 48 of Zhang Cheng's disciples.
Zhang Cheng was a spiteful man,
he won't let it slide.
What is it, Bo?
Yes, we picked up Sandy already.
We're taking her home.
Sandy will stop everything
and stay out of the limelight.
I'm putting Miss Wong in your care.
I'm heading back to Fung Ming Gui now.
Let's meet up and devise a plan.
Yes... see you later.
Fancy seeing you here. How are you?
Minister Zuo?
I saw on the news you came here.
I almost can't believe it.
How nice to see a familiar face.
Spare me your act.
Where's Yuan Chonghuan? You were in collusion.
Times have changed.
We were brothers 400 years ago.
But today, we don't get along.
We have gone our separate ways.
What happened after you traveled through time?
We were new in town, we should help each other
get used to our new lives.
But Yuan Chonghuan clings to values from 400 years ago.
He is such a stick in the mud.
I have never seen anyone so stubborn.
Tell me more,
I want to know how stubborn he was.
Though you have just arrived,
you should have seen the amazing things about the modern times.
Gigantic iron birds flying in the sky.
Tiny boxes carrying voices across thousands of miles.
Western cuisines, Japanese sushi and sashimi
champagne and steaks from France...
Why not loosen up and enjoy life
and learn to be a modern man?
You have a point...
But Yuan Chonghuan doesn't think so.
He keeps talking about going back to the Ming Dynasty.
He dreams of going back to kill the castrated gang.
We have argued over this several times.
Our different positions gave us little common ground.
With my ability and ingenuity,
I can make something of myself.
Judging from your fancy clothes
and the big iron car you're driving,
I'm sure you're quite wealthy.
It's not much.
Since we're having a nice chat,
let me buy you a French dinner.
You can try their chilled champagne
and I can tell you more interesting things about the modern times.
I appreciate your hospitality,
but I have something more important to do.
The cell phone is guiding me to Fung Ming Gui,
after I chop off Yuan Chonghuan's head,
I'll come back and we can have dinner.
What's your rush?
Go after Yuan Chonghuan on a full stomach.
I must set my priorities. You're in no hurry
After I kill Yuan Chonghuan,
I'll meet up with you later.
Well? Is the plum juice too strong?
No, but a bit salty.
Maybe I need to steam it longer.
Miss Ling, please steam this in the oven for 10 more minutes.
I'll neutralize the saltiness with sugar.
Are you alright?
I'm sorry. I should man the stove.
Does it hurt?
I better get back to work.
It's OK. We haven't finished the braised ham
but I think it's about right.
We can try it again.
I don't think it's necessary.
Even if you can help me cook a dish that's the same as before,
you can't help me for the rest of your life.
Why not?
Grandpa started Fung Ming Gui,
I'm part of the family.
It's normal for me to quit Dynasty
and help out at Fung Ming Gui.
I rest my case if you truly wish to do something for Fung Ming Gui,
but I guess know what you're thinking.
So what if I want to be around you?
Don't tell me you're gay.
I don't believe you.
Why won't you give it up?
I promised my brothers I won't be with you.
What's between us is none of their business.
I just can't.
Why not? Tell me!
Fine! I'll level with you.
After you heard what I said,
I hope you'll forget me.
I'm not a real man, I'm a eunuch.
Give me a more believable reason.
This is even more ridiculous than saying you're gay.
Did your brothers put you up to this?
What are you doing?
Don't blink, I'm giving you proof.
You don't scare me.
You have given me no choice.
Come on, see for yourself.
I told you not to do it.
I'll get someone else to verify your proof.
Wait here.
Your Shifu wants to show you something.
Go and check if he has it.
If he has what?
Just go inside and you'll know.
How is Siu-Tung, Miss Ling?
Did he manage to bypass the bottleneck?
Wan Tai-Kwan, I always wanted to say this...
Siu-Tung is not your real brother,
you have no right to run his life.
He lost his sense of taste, he doesn't have to be a chef.
Why did you force him to cook?
OK, I can live with that...
But you're meddling with his love life!
Who he chooses to be with is none of your business.
Ling, why are you throwing a fit?
Tai-Kwan did what's best for Siu-Tung and Fung Ming Gui.
I understand how you feel.
Siu-thing and I may not be blood related,
but we have been through life and death,
we're closer than biological brothers.
Bo and I discipline him so he won't make any mistakes.
I hope you'll understand.
Brother Tai-Kwan!
Good! Bo is back.
I want to know how you can call yourselves Siu-tung's brother.
We have trouble. Zhang Cheng is coming.
What?
Zhang Cheng? Zhang Cheng who?
That monster knows his way here?
Did you see that?
It won't work for me and Miss Ling.
If and when I can be a real man in the next life,
I would love to pick up where we left off.
Yuan Chonghuan, here I come!
Sandy, if there's nothing else,
we should head back to Fung Ming Gui.
Found it!
This is a mandala jade pendant
which may become useful if Zhang Cheng shows up at Fung Ming Gui.
If Zhang Cheng is as ferocious as you said,
why would he be scared of a jade pendant?
This is a betrothal present from the Crown Prince.
It was passed down by Emperor Taizu.
As a courtier of the Great Ming,
he should have qualms about the late Emperor's relic.
What if he doesn't recognize it?
He probably thinks it's a fake.
What if he doesn't believe me?
Eunuchs wait on Emperors.
He will recognize this mandala jade pendant.
Seeing the pendant is like seeing Emperor Taizu.
He probably wouldn't dare to show blatant disrespect.
Fung Ming Gui will face a major catastrophe.
We must close for business tonight.
No one is to set foot outside.
You tell us to close down out of the blue,
we probably won't make target this month.
What if you'll order us to close for good?
We should wait for Chi and let her decide.
This is an urgent matter.
I will explain to Miss Chi.
Bo is actually not a traitor.
I will explain later.
The key is to keep Fung Ming Gui safe.
Heen, did your Shifu show you?
You really can't force love.
Tell me! What did you see?
Li Siu-Tung, you can convince him but you can't convince me.
Why are you doing this?
Why can't you leave me alone?
Not unless you give me a good explanation.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Tell me...
Siu-Tung, what's going on?
Zhang Cheng is coming,
You have time for this lovey-dovey nonsense?
How would that make me and Bo feel?
Siu-Tung, don't provoke Brother Tai-Kwan.
I'm sorry!
See? You're both control freaks.
Who the hell is Zhang Cheng? Why are you so scared of him?
Why must we close down and why can't we go outside?
Exactly! Tai-Kwan, you know kung fu.
Get rid of him with immeasurable Ocean.
You don't understand, he's no ordinary man.
I have never beaten him before.
He's scarier than a Tyrannosaurus.
How did you piss him off?
He's a bully in our hometown.
What happened between us is a long story.
For your safety, you must stay inside.
Brother Tai-Kwan and I will deal with him.
You intend to fight him alone?
Why don't we hide from him?
But we can't hide forever.
I brought him here, I should get rid of him.
Siu-Tung, you and Bo should look after the others.
Don't go outside no matter what happens.
Miss Ling, I need a favor from you.
Please relay a message to Miss Chi.
Whatever I owe her in this life, I'll repay her in the next life.
With interest, no less!
Why don't we call the Police?
I must settle this with Zhang Cheng once and for all.
Outwit him, don't take him head-on.
Come out, Yuan Chonghuan!
If I don't cut off your head today,
I'll write my name upside down.
Come out on my count to three,
or I'll come inside and give Fung Ming Gui a bloodbath.
1... 2... 3...
Who are you, chicken head?
How dare you attack me? Show yourself!
Here I am! I will executive you on the spot.
The Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Great Ming
had to dress up as a chicken to ambush me?
All's fair in war.
There are no rules against someone despicable like yourself.
I trusted you but you repeatedly lied to me.
You had the nerve to kidnap me to this bloody place 400 years later.
I will take your head back to the Great Ming
Tai Chi... Immeasurable Ocean!
Is that an earthquake?
They're demolishing the building!
Is that thunder?
I can't let Brother Tai-Kwan face him alone.
I must fight alongside him.
I'll go with you. We're in this together.
Brother Tai-Kwan! Brother Tai-Kwan!
Are you OK?
Zuo Guangdou, Xiao Li, I'm glad you're both here.
Let me send you all on your way.
I won't let you hurt Brother Tai-Kwan!
Zhang Cheng, let go of him!
Then I'll start with this little traitor!
Let go of Siu-Tung!
Siu-Tung, are you alright?
I'm fine! It's dangerous out here. You should go.
Leave now or I'm calling the Police!
Miss Ling, this monster is brutal.
You should go back inside.
If anything happens to you, how can we face Master Tin?
This is Hong Kong. I doubt if he'd dare kill anyone.
Are you the daughter of the owner of Fung Ming Gui?
Yes! We know a lot of Police inspectors.
You're in big trouble if I give them a call.
Yuan Chonghuan, is she the one who married Xiao Li?
We may be enemies,
but I never lie.
Siu-Tung and Miss Ling love each other.
They're married and started a family.
Everything I said is the truth.
You beat me, go ahead and kill me.
I only ask that you spare them.
I don't want their child to become an orphan.
His penis grew back?
It's better to make friends and not enemies.
Fate brought us here,
why don't we settle our differences?
We should help each other out
learn the local culture and adjust to a new life.
You have a point, Minister Zuo.
We landed in a strange place,
there's no need to hold a grudge.
If you can let go of the past,
I won't be spiteful either.
I'm glad we can reconcile.
Now that were friends, about that surgery...
Don't worry, you have my word.
Let's get off the street.
I'll buy you dinner at Fung Ming Gui.
Let's talk over a few beers.
It would be rude of me to decline.
We better go check on them.
If they start to fight again,
they're likely to tear down Fung Ming Gui.
No, Tai-Kwan wanted us to stay here.
Auntie Fun, what are they doing out there?
I put down a plate of beef,
Tai-Kwan sent me away with the empty plate.
They seem like long lost friends.
I don't understand what they said.
Something about a jade stem and having children.
They're lunatics. We better call Chi.
Hello, Sis...
What? Zhang Cheng is there now?
OK, we're on our way.
Uncle Tai, drive faster.
Ling said Tai-Kwan got into a fight with Zhang Cheng.
What's going on?
Somehow Tai-Kwan told Zhang Cheng Ling is Siu-tung's wife,
and they went inside for hotpot.
Uncle Tai, drive faster!
Look, this won't work.
Why did you stop the car?
I'm not driving until we sort this out.
According to Miss Wong,
Zhang Cheng is a mass murderer.
If we go back now, he'll kill us too.
We should call the Police.
Your Uncle Tai is right.
They can fight, but they can't beat a Police gun.
Calling the Police is a safe bet.
Don't be reckless, Dad.
If the Police is the answer, Tai-Kwan would have called them already.
Didn't you study history?
Zhang Cheng is a eunuch, at best he's only a 4th ranked courtier.
But Bo and Tai-Kwan are different.
They're the Crown Prince's advisors.
They definitely rank higher, right?
Maybe they sorted out their differences
and are now having hotpot to catch up.
That's just your wishful thinking.
Even if Zhang Cheng goes crazy,
we have the jade pendant from the Crown Princess.
It's passed down from Emperor Taizu.
It should be enough to hold off that eunuch.
Drive! Drive!
I can't believe our 400-year-old feud
can be resolved in a place called Hong Kong.
Not only that, we can actually sit down...
...and have hotpot.
And we're drinking...
...red wine.
And this?
Iced beer.
Life is full of surprises indeed.
We were at each other's throat back then,
but now no more monarchy,
no more Emperors or the Forbidden City.
What's there to fight over?
Let's try to enjoy modern civilization.
That's a good point, Commander.
The things I have seen since my arrival
are truly eye-openers.
Look at this, we don't need a torch and the room is lit up.
That's amazing enough.
And this warm wind device.
The room is warm like springtime without lighting a fire.
You have only just arrived.
There are a lot more eye-openers waiting for you.
I can show you later.
I guarantee you'll enjoy them so much you don't want to go back.
Thank you, Minister Zuo.
Here's a toast to you.
Right! Good!
Good things come in pairs.
It's a custom in Hong Kong,
whoever proposes a toast must drink double.
That's right!
I see, different rules for different places.
A toast to Commander Yuan!
Cheers! Cheers!
You just proposed a toast!
I'll drink this with you.
Right! Cheers...
You're quite a drinker. After we finish here
I'll get you some liquor and Japanese sake.
Sure! One must try everything, right?
Seeking pleasure is not my top priority.
My biggest wish right now
is to be a man and start a family like Xiao Li.
Xiao Li, you have no idea how much I envy you.
Why? You don't have to.
You'll soon be a man like me.
Really? I hope so too.
Commander, I'm very anxious,
when can you arrange for the surgery?
I can't wait for a new lease of life.
Few doctors can perform this type of surgery
I'll ring them up tomorrow morning for an appointment.
Ring them up?
That's similar to using pigeons in the Great Ming,
telling the doctor to get ready.
Ring them as soon as you can.
Come on... Yes!
Eat chicken testis. You are what you eat.
You'll be surrounded by kids and grand kids.
Really? Thank you...
Here's a toast to you from us
for starting a family soon.
A big family...
Thank you... Cheers!
If I were to marry Siu-tsui,
I'll be sure to thank you all.
I'll have the banquet right here in Fung Ming Gui.
Great!
When your son is born,
don't forget to make us the godfathers.
Of course! This will be my first surgery,
I can't imagine how it can be done.
Xiao Li, let me see the result.
What does it look like?
It's not that convenient, out in the public.
Let's do that some other time.
I'll go get more beer! Great!
I watched you grow up.
I have seen your body.
Let's do it now. Take off your pants...
There's nothing to see.
It's like the rest of us.
You can look at yours after the surgery.
Just a peek, it won't hurt you.
Come on, take it off...
Don't... we're eating!
Take it off... I can describe it...
Stop it... Take it off...
I want to see. No...
How dare you, Zhang Cheng!
Kneel before the late Emperor's jade pendant
