Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Page #4
BO:
Someone help! Stop him! He's on
the roof! The sword's been stolen!
Stop thief! Stop him!
The thief skips a few times and jumps off to a side street.
Bo grabs a pole and runs, as gongs begin to sound, alerting
people to the theft. People rush outside, Yu Shu Lien among
them.
Bo runs through the streets. The thief is nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, there are sounds of weapons clashing. Bo hurries
towards the source.
EXT. AN ALLEY OUTSIDE GOVERNOR YU'S COMPOUND - NIGHT
Bo is surprised to see the hooded figure battling with two
other fighters -- Tsai (male, 40s) and May, his daughter.
TSAI:
It's Jade Fox!
MAY:
We must avenge mother!
The hooded figure does a gravity defying flip and soars over
a wall, just as Bo arrives.
BO:
Do something! He's getting away!
The thief runs atop a roof -- right into Yu. Yu and the
hooded figure face off.
YU:
Return the sword, and I'll let you
go.
The figure just regards her, slightly shifting weight.
Yu attacks, but the figure repels her.
YU:
You've been trained at Wudan?
The figure answers by leaping to another rooftop. Yu
catches up, and resumes her attack with a relentless series
of lightning-quick blows.
EXT. ALLEY OUTSIDE GOVERNOR YU'S COMPOUND - NIGHT
Bo follows Tsai and May, who are quickly walking away.
TSAI:
You're mistaken. We're just street
performers. We were rehearsing.
MAY:
Father!
BO:
You were rehearsing? Who are you
trying to fool?
May wants to respond but is again cut off by Tsai. They run
off.
BO:
Where did that thief go?
Bo looks around and discovers he had chased the thief into
Governor Yu's compound.
BO:
Governor Yu's house!
EXT. ROOF TOP
Yu and the Black Figure continue to fight.
YU:
Get down here! Give back the sword!
EXT. GOVERNOR YU'S - NIGHT
Yu slowly gets the upper hand in her fight with the thief.
A small arrow cuts across the night and flies toward Yu.
She catches it, but the masked figure takes the opportunity
to get away.
Yu pauses to feel the arrow in her hand, standing in the
empty courtyard.
De Lu escorts Yu into Te's.
DE LU:
Sir Te awaits you.
Men are standing at attention. Bo is giving his account of
what happened, as Yu enters.
BO:
I'm sure the thief is in the Yu
household.
SIR TE:
How dare you imply?
BO:
But I say --
SIR TE:
-- Enough.
The men hustle out. Bo can barely contain his frustration.
YU:
Has Governor Yu ever seen the sword?
SIR TE:
Yes, though I doubt he's involved
in this.
