CMB - 24

1
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:58,460
Mysterious Invitation.  Ambush by a Masked Chef!

2
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,920
How about this, Mei Li?

3
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,890
Oh, that's beautilful!  I heard that my mother loved flowers.

4
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:08,850
So I'm sure she'll love those.  Thank you!

5
00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:13,850
I'm glad you liked it.  But I wonder about Mr. Chouyu...

6
00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:19,360
It's the anniversary of your mother's passing.
He should visit her grave.

7
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,900
It can't be helped.  My father is first and foremost a chef.

8
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:26,820
Well then, shall we go?

9
00:02:26,820 --> 00:02:27,620
Okay.

10
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:30,580
Mei Li, Brother Mao!  Come here for a minute!

11
00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:31,830
We're about to leave.

12
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:34,330
Forget about that!  There's something awesome I wanna show you!

13
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:35,410
What is it?
What is it?

14
00:02:57,980 --> 00:03:00,980
Incredible!  It's a huge ice sculpture.

15
00:03:10,990 --> 00:03:12,870
Wonderful work, Chouyu.

16
00:03:13,290 --> 00:03:17,160
A dragon rising to the heavens, adorned in flowers.

17
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:31,850
Mei Li, maybe this ice sculpture is...

18
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:33,680
Yeah!

19
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Dad made it for my Mom in heaven!

20
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,700
It's great, Mei Li!

21
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:55,160
Your father agreed to come with us after all.
Your mother must have been important to him.

22
00:03:55,330 --> 00:03:58,660
Yeah.  I guess I didn't know him as well as I thought.

23
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,670
But Mr. Chouyu is really something...

24
00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:06,170
Yeah, his skills are in a different league altogether.

25
00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:10,680
I don't think there's any chef in Canton who could rival him.

26
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:16,600
But Brother Mao, what does an
ice sculpture have to do with cooking?

27
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,850
Chinese cooking is so much more than just taste alone.

28
00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:21,100
Taste.

29
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:21,940
Color.

30
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:23,360
Aroma.

31
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:24,770
Appearance.

32
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,170
Food can only be exceptional if all four elements are present.

33
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:32,200
And the ultimate expression of those elements can be seen in that sculpture.

34
00:04:34,530 --> 00:04:39,210
That's to be expected from Yosen Shuka's
Deputy Head Chef, and Brother Mao's master!

35
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:41,210
It is unimaginable...

36
00:04:41,790 --> 00:04:45,800
To think he could carve something
so delicate with that stern face of his.

37
00:04:47,710 --> 00:04:51,300
In a way, Dad is the ultimate cooking aficionado.

38
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:55,510
His passion for cooking was too strict and uncompromising.

39
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,680
He got into a lot of trouble in his youth because of it.

40
00:04:58,890 --> 00:04:59,850
Trouble?

41
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,310
Yes, I can see that.  His face is a testimony to his personality.

42
00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:16,620
Looks like it will rain soon.

43
00:05:17,620 --> 00:05:22,120
We'd best get going while the weather permits.

44
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,750
All right!  I'll get everyone ready!

45
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:29,670
Big Sister.  Help me carry that ice sculpture.

46
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:32,760
Stop calling me that!  You're not my brother.

47
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,970
I've just found a giant peach for dessert.  Can we take this along too?

48
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Why you.. you'll pay for that!

49
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,600
Everyone, get ready!  We'll be leaving soon.

50
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Hold it right there, Shilou!
Everyone, get ready!  We'll be leaving soon.

51
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,500
Hold it right there, Shilou!

52
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,010
As if you can catch me with that big butt of yours!

53
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:46,360
How dare you!  I'll get you for that, you little rat!
As if you can catch me with that big butt of yours!

54
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:46,400
How dare you!  I'll get you for that, you little rat!

55
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,150
What's with those two?
How dare you!  I'll get you for that, you little rat!

56
00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:50,730
Stop right there!

57
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:53,900
You'll never take me alive~~!

58
00:05:57,070 --> 00:05:58,240
What's this?

59
00:05:58,990 --> 00:05:59,790
Got you!

60
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:01,910
Now you pay!

61
00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:02,920
Wait, look at that!

62
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,460
What?

63
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:13,050
It's addressed to Dad and myself.

64
00:06:14,010 --> 00:06:18,890
"You are hereby invited tonight to the mansion in front of Sea Bell Park."

65
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:23,140
"We await you for dinner with the
season's finest meat and vegetables."

66
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,310
"We look forward to your joining us."

67
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:30,610
Oh, so it's a dinner invitation.  You guys are lucky.

68
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:35,950
But it's weird.  That mansion has been abandoned for a long time.

69
00:06:35,950 --> 00:06:36,820
Abandoned?

70
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:37,950
Who is it from?

71
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:44,750
This insignia!

72
00:06:50,170 --> 00:06:53,800
If that insignia is present, then you really have no choice.

73
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,630
Master!

74
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:57,640
What's the importance of that insignia?

75
00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:03,020
This insignia represents compulsory
obedience in the Cantonese cooking world.

76
00:07:03,810 --> 00:07:08,100
But why invite me along with Dad?  Something's fishy here.

77
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,400
And why was the note attached to an arrow?

78
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,150
Hey Mao.  Could you please come with us?

79
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,110
But...

80
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:16,780
Mao.

81
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:19,660
Accompany them.

82
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:20,660
Y-yes Sir!

83
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:23,690
All right!  If Brother Mao is going, then I'm going as well!

84
00:07:23,690 --> 00:07:26,120
You will have to stay here and help me.

85
00:07:26,830 --> 00:07:30,540
What?  That's not fair!  You can't just leave me behind!

86
00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:32,810
I wanna eat something fancy once in a while too!

87
00:07:32,810 --> 00:07:33,800
Oh come on.  You sound like we're starving you.
I wanna eat something fancy once in a while too!

88
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,670
Oh come on.  You sound like we're starving you.

89
00:07:42,050 --> 00:07:44,810
It's kind of creepy here, Mei Li.

90
00:07:44,810 --> 00:07:50,150
Yes.  This place is dark even during daytime, so nobody ever comes here.

91
00:07:51,730 --> 00:07:53,980
Dinner with a mysterious host...

92
00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:56,690
I wonder what this means.

93
00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:06,450
We're here.

94
00:08:07,650 --> 00:08:09,580
This is the mansion?

95
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:14,590
It looks more like a haunted house.

96
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:20,180
Let's see if anyone's in there.

97
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:23,350
Dad, I think we should go back.

98
00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:34,610
We've been waiting for you.

99
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:39,610
Please come with me.  Tee hee hee hee hee.

100
00:08:52,170 --> 00:08:54,460
The top honchos of Canton's cooking world are also here.

101
00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,920
They got invitations too?

102
00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:03,720
But who's our host?  What's the purpose of all this?

103
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:06,060
This just raises my suspicions.

104
00:09:06,850 --> 00:09:10,560
Dear honored guests who represent the Cantonese cooking world.  Welcome to our humble abode.

105
00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:19,990
My master entreats you to enjoy his special brand of cooking tonight.  Please eat to your heart's content.

106
00:09:29,450 --> 00:09:33,460
Quite an interesting theme they have here.

107
00:09:35,790 --> 00:09:37,460
A remarkable taste!

108
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,180
Yes.  I don't know him, but whoever cooked this is a master chef!

109
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:04,610
This is our main course.

110
00:10:04,610 --> 00:10:07,030
Main course...  What is it?

111
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Well.. it's sautéed pigeon marinated in oyster sauce.

112
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:16,170
Sautéed pigeon...

113
00:10:16,170 --> 00:10:17,750
Marinated in oyster sauce?

114
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,750
Well then... Bon appetit.

115
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,180
Delicious!  It fits perfectly with the vegetables!

116
00:10:30,450 --> 00:10:32,930
Yes, it truly is a rare taste.

117
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,170
It's not only the oyster sauce.

118
00:10:36,170 --> 00:10:38,440
There are other interesting spices here.

119
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,060
So true!  There's no hint of the gamey smell of wild pigeon.

120
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:45,950
It's hot and spicy, yet delicious.

121
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:52,050
This taste!

122
00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:55,530
Stop it!

123
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:58,710
Everyone, stop eating that!

124
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:59,580
What?

125
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:00,460
Why not!?

126
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:03,960
This is a wonderfully prepared pigeon, a rare delicacy!

127
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,250
But this isn't pigeon!

128
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:10,330
How do you know that, boy?
You think you're better at food than us?!

129
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:14,010
You fool!  Mao speaks the truth!

130
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:21,750
Mei Li!

131
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:23,230
What's the matter, Mei Li?!  Mei Li!!!

132
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:26,990
 My body... it's...

133
00:11:27,790 --> 00:11:30,490
Someone help me, please...

134
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,210
Mao...

135
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,860
Mei Li!

136
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:47,840
Mei Li, hang in there!  Mei Li!

137
00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:49,800
Mei Li!  Mei Li!

138
00:11:50,590 --> 00:11:51,760
Mei Li...

139
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:54,320
That was poisonous red frog meat.

140
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Exactly.  Its texture is similar to that of pigeon.

141
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,770
The spices were used to mask the taste!

142
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,310
But why?  What was the purpose of all this?

143
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,350
What the hell is that room?

144
00:12:25,790 --> 00:12:26,760
W-Who's there?

145
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,390
A mask!

146
00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:51,910
Hey you.  Did you cook this dish?

147
00:12:53,410 --> 00:12:55,370
It's been a long time, Chouyu.

148
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:56,910
What?

149
00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:07,270
Who the hell are you?

150
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,760
You've forgotten me already, Chouyu?!

151
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:13,460
That voice.  It can't be...!

152
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:15,550
So it's you.

153
00:13:16,070 --> 00:13:17,150
Mr. Chouyu.

154
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,770
First, you used a fake letter to lure me here.

155
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:24,230
Then you served poisonous red frog meat as the main course.

156
00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:25,730
What's the meaning of this?

157
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Revenge.

158
00:13:46,630 --> 00:13:51,590
Chouyu.  I've lived only for the day when I can finally take my revenge.

159
00:13:54,090 --> 00:13:57,850
Revenge?  What happened between them?

160
00:13:58,290 --> 00:14:02,070
We'll settle our score, Chouyu.  This time, you can't refuse!

161
00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:16,830
The poison I served them is very potent.

162
00:14:16,830 --> 00:14:19,990
If they don't take the antidote before the blood in the hourglass runs out...

163
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,790
... they will certainly die.

164
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,250
If you don't defeat me, you'll never get this antidote.

165
00:14:26,660 --> 00:14:28,920
W-What a despicable coward!

166
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:47,900
With your daughter's life at stake, you have no choice but to accept the challenge.

167
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,860
M-Mr. Chouyu.

168
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,110
Don't worry.  Just look after Mei Li.

169
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,580
How do you want to do this, then?!

170
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,020
Need you ask?  Same as before, we'll use lobster.

171
00:15:06,020 --> 00:15:08,170
Best two out of three!

172
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Best two out of three, huh?

173
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:14,560
As before?

174
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,530
Our match will be a three round contest with lobster as the main ingredient.

175
00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:43,790
As you well know, the first round tests our knife handling skills!

176
00:15:44,540 --> 00:15:46,760
We'll prepare these lobsters...

177
00:15:48,390 --> 00:15:49,900
... under the same conditions.

178
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,870
What?

179
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
No way!  How can you cook like that?

180
00:16:13,950 --> 00:16:18,400
While sightless, prepare live lobsters in the dark.

181
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,410
Amazing!  What an incredible contest!

182
00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:29,410
But there's no way Mr. Chouyu will lose.

183
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,150
He has the best knife-handling skills in Canton.

184
00:16:34,090 --> 00:16:37,810
Why bother with such a meaningless contest?

185
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:39,090
What was that?

186
00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:43,030
Listen!  You can't defeat me
no matter how many times you try!

187
00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:44,350
Cut that out!

188
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:53,010
Chouyu, you've always been like that.

189
00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:55,980
You've always looked down on me!

190
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,360
But I'm not the same man I used to be.

191
00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:05,870
Don't forget, I hold the key to saving your daughter's life!

192
00:17:05,870 --> 00:17:08,370
Enough!  Let's get started!

193
00:17:08,810 --> 00:17:13,380
Your voice annoys me and further deepens my hatred!

194
00:17:13,870 --> 00:17:17,380
Chouyu!  You have no chance of defeating me today!

195
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:18,080
Humph!

196
00:17:18,490 --> 00:17:20,380
We'll see about that.

197
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:37,020
It has begun!  Knife handling skills in the dark!

198
00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:53,210
Such dynamic knife skills!

199
00:17:53,210 --> 00:17:55,830
And quite accurate as well!

200
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:22,800
Amazing!  Mr. Chouyu's knife skills don't change at all under any circumstances.

201
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,450
That's Mr. Chouyu for you!

202
00:18:44,810 --> 00:18:45,670
Mr. Chouyu!

203
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,190
M-Mr. Chouyu!

204
00:18:59,310 --> 00:19:01,060
Mr. Chouyu!  Mr. Chouyu...

205
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:02,550
Hang in there, Mr. Chouyu!

206
00:19:03,150 --> 00:19:05,700
What happened?  What in the world happened?

207
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:10,050
A scorpion.

208
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,450
Damn!

209
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:16,960
What's wrong, Chouyu?  Abandoning the contest?

210
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:20,360
What happened to your stern cooking spirit just now?

211
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:25,570
This is very unbecoming of you.  As you can see, I'm finished.

212
00:19:27,450 --> 00:19:32,470
Due to default, I claim victory in this lobster contest!

213
00:19:35,470 --> 00:19:36,860
What victory?

214
00:19:36,860 --> 00:19:39,730
You wanted to win so badly that you resort to cowardice!

215
00:19:40,620 --> 00:19:41,440
Cowardice?

216
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:46,240
That's right!  You hid a scorpion among the lobsters!

217
00:19:46,690 --> 00:19:48,920
Boy, are you calling me a cheater?

218
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,150
That's right.  You're a dirty cheater!

219
00:19:51,150 --> 00:19:52,540
Then know this!

220
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:56,950
This man Chouyu did the same thing to me when we last had our contest!

221
00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:57,530
What?

222
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
That's right.  On that fateful day of our competition...

223
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,610
<i>C-Chouyu... Damn you... </i>

224
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:19,810
Impossible!  Mr. Chouyu would never...

225
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:23,920
My revenge is complete!  It's all over, Chouyu!

226
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:28,210
Now it's your turn to suffer the years of torment I endured!

227
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,470
I don't care what reasons he has.

228
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,210
Using poison in cooking.

229
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,210
And not only Mr. Chouyu, but Mei Li as well!

230
00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:57,630
Hey, wait a minute.

231
00:20:59,310 --> 00:21:01,040
The score isn't settled yet.

232
00:21:01,690 --> 00:21:02,380
What?

233
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:10,240
If it's best two out of three, then
there should be two more rounds.

234
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:11,820
What?

235
00:21:11,820 --> 00:21:14,900
I, Master Chouyu's best student, will fight you in his place!

236
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:16,810
So...

237
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:25,210
This Super Chef, Liu Mao Xing, challenges you!

238
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,360
You brat!

239
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,090
The city center has a bustling din,

240
00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:14,590
As I jump over the guard rails unseen.

241
00:22:15,090 --> 00:22:19,100
Must hurry over to our meeting place,

242
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,600
And beat the dusk in a race.

243
00:22:24,060 --> 00:22:28,060
In your twinkling eyes, I see so clearly,

244
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,480
The soothing warmth that you feel for me.

245
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:36,650
And with only that, my poor defenseless heart,

246
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:40,830
Is starting to melt and break apart.

247
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:46,540
This is a feeling that won't stop; it just keeps going straight.

248
00:22:46,790 --> 00:22:49,750
And it's starting to speed up and accelerate.

249
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,760
I'm by your door, and knocking hard.  Won't you let me in?

250
00:22:56,010 --> 00:22:59,550
Let me show you my spirit filled with passion.  Yeah!
