began his quest.

Chosen for greatness.

He wanted to be the best,

and we gave him that chance.

I can't fight tai chi for

money. It's dishonorable.

What would he fight

for? We gave him a reason:

his temple.

- We had him.

- Fight!

And he did.

And he liked it.

We pit him against other

styles to evolve his own.

Chen Lin Hu's punch

strikes at 23 miles per hour

with an impact of 900

pounds per square inch.

He saved the temple. Decision.

He could walk away, he could

go back to his life, his job,

his master,

his temple, his honor.

- What time?

- He changed.

- Ready to be a warrior.

- A new man.

- He let go of all that held him back.

- - Disgrace.

He

Surrendered reason to purpose.

- Defiance.

- - He fought his master

- and betrayed his legacy.

- Dishonor.

- He lost his temple.

- Destroy.

Kill.

He wasn't

ready, but tonight he is...

...to face the

ultimate challenge.

- And now it's time

- You've watched him,

you've followed him.-

Tiger Chen, Man of Tai Chi.

Journey into darkness.

How did you like it?

Anybody can

watch a fight, Tiger.

But to watch a person's

life evolve and change,

that is what I offer.

This was never

about the fighting.

This was about you.

Your life.

Why? Why me?

Because we want to see

the loss of innocence.

We want to see a pure-hearted,

good-natured man of tai chi

- become a killer.

- No.

Yes.

Kill or be killed, Tiger.

That's what they want.

That's what I want.

Let the show begin.

Good evening, and thank you

for joining us tonight

for a special event:

a fight to the death.

If you please, Gilang Sunjaya

from Indonesia...

...and Tiger Chen from China.

Enjoy.

I won't fight you.

I won't fight you.

I won't fight you.

I won't fight you.

I won't...

I'll fight you.

I'll fight you! I'll fight you!

I won't fight you.

I'll fight you.

Kill him.

Go.

You owe me a life.

This is the Hong Kong police.

- You are surrounded.

- Go, go, go.

Everyone here, please remain

calm and stay where you are.

Do not move until given

clear instructions.

Please take out

your identification and state

the reason why you are here.

You owe me a life.

Fight me.

Show me.

Show me.

Do you know who you are, Tiger?

Do you know what you are?

You're nothing.

You owe me a life.

I knew you had it in you.
