64. I'm Lee.

65. That was very delicious.

69. Do you like it?

70. Yes, it's delicious.

71. Where did you learn Chinese?

77. Welcome.

78. Hey.

79. Two mafia guys are coming this way.

80. The mafia?

81. The mafia is coming here?

82. Shut up, you!

83. I think they're in the same dodgy business as I am.

84. You say so, but...

85. You should go upstairs now.

86. I've nothing to do with the mafia.

87. Don't worry.

88. We can't ignore someone who is in trouble in a foreign country.

89. This way.

90. This way.

91. This way. This way.

92. Our group needs Lee, the big brother.

93. "Our group"? So, you're members of the mafia!

94. We're not the mafia.

95. We're his underlings.

96. "Underlings." There you go!

97. Huh? Underlings are hunting their own big brother,

98. it's such a moral degeneration of chivalrous spirit.

99. Hey, I don't want any trouble here.

100. - We need our big brother, Lee. - We know he's here.

101. They're not the mafia.

102. They're my staff for the movie production.

103. Sorry we made a fuss. Have some.

104. Lee Punfa is a movie director.

105. They're the producers who set up the production company together.

106. I guess they call it "a group" in China. The same word we use for a yakuza group.

107. Because he is Lee, they call it the Lee group.

108. It's so confusing.

109. We found a new actor.

110. He'd like to talk to you soon.

111. Okay. I'll go back next week.

112. The main actor of his new movie has quit because of the pay

113. and the production has been stopped.

114. Lee was fed up with the whole thing, and he just left China. That's the story.

115. I think I can...

116. You can drink!

117. His father, late Lee Guanrai,

118. was a famous director of chivalry movies.

119. What is a chivalry movie?

120. Chivalry movies are sword-fighting action films,

121. which are based on Chinese novels of the 1920s.

122. Both you and your father are film directors.

123. I had aspirations to be a film director like my father.

124. I'm glad your new movie production won't be canceled.

125. We planned to remake the movie which my father couldn't finish.

126. When the main actor declined our offer, I actually felt relieved.

127. I have no confidence to remake it, and I'm still scared.

128. I'm scared of being compared with him forever.

129. You're different from your father!

130. Please make your own movies!

131. That's right. Just make movies!

132. There are so many movie directors who actually can't even make one.

133. Actually, his movie's main actor was a Japanese man.

134. My father wished to see the guy again after he had left China.

135. I looked into his whereabouts, but I couldn't find him.

136. It was more than 40 years ago, right?

137. It'd be difficult to find him.

138. The movie you're gonna remake, what's the story like?

139. It's a long film.

140. Can I explain it roughly?

141. That's fine.

142. Good evening.

143. - You all are here. - Welcome.

144. Master, a beer and a sweet rolled omelet, please.

145. Miso soup with pork and veggies. Large portion, please.

146. Sure.

147. Ms. Kosuzu, this is Lee Punfa.

148. He is a film director. Isn't he good-looking?

149. I like sweet rolled omelets, too.

150. Such a coincidence!

151. His omelets are good, aren't they?

152. It means "delicious."

153. That... Great.

154. Lee and Mr. Kanemoto, please continue.

155. Shall we?

156. It was in the 15th century, during the Ming dynasty in China,

157. a group of evil eunuchs tried to take control of a region.

158. They made the opposing minister the scapegoat and executed him.

159. Then they started hunting his family, too.

160. The group discovered their whereabouts and tried to kill all of them.

161. They are now in an impending danger!

162. They are forced into a corner. Life is a candle flickering in the wind.

163. Then,

164. a martial artist and low-class eunuch in the evil group,

165. a beautiful man called Xiao Ning appears in front of the family.

166. Xiao Ning was a subordinate of the minister.

167. Xiao Ning is a member of the evil group

168. but has never forgotten the minister's kindness.

169. Xiao Ning, who decided to share his fate with the minister's family,

170. takes down the opponents with his swords.

171. "I am who I am now.

172. Every one of you..."

173. Sorry for my betrayal!

174. He said, "Sorry for my betrayal!" What? Kosuzu, how did you...

175. Xiao Ning!

176. Did you perhaps...

177. Father didn't cook very much.

178. I know.

179. You're the one who taught my father how to cook rolled omelets?

180. I thought so.

181. Don't look at me.

182. What's wrong with you?

183. Is that person a man or a woman?

184. I'd say both.

185. Come inside for a cup of tea?

186. I was just making one.

187. Please.

188. What can I say...

189. How cruel the time is!
