May fans a small coal-fired grill that is boiling a sizzling pot of vegetable and meatball soup. Her father and Bo are now friendly dinner companions， much to May's delight.
TSAI
I don't care about your sword.
BO
Why were you spying on the Yus？
TSAI
I'm looking for someone. Jade Fox.
I'm a police inspector from Shaan Xi，
Gen Su district. Jade Fox is a master
criminal. I hear she infiltrated the
Yus. She must have come with them when
they transferred here. But with Yu's
reputation， I can't just go in and
accuse her.
BO
This Jade Fox is a woman？
TSAI
Yes.
BO
Then leave her to me.
TSAI
Pardon me， but I doubt you can handle
her. My wife was quite a martial arts
expert. Jade Fox killed her. So you
see， this is personal. Leave her to me.
MAY
It's ready！ （re： the soup）
BO
I'm ready for anything！
Bo fishes into the pot with his chopsticks. May intercepts him with her own chopsticks.
MAY
Father gets first dip.
Tsai stiffens and snaps his chopsticks， not to pick up a meatball but to catch an incoming dart. A dart wrapped with a note. Bo jumps up.
TSAI
They're gone.
MAY
What does it say？
TSAI
"We'll settle this at midnight on
Yellow Hill." Good， the fox is out of
her hole.
INT. TE'S STUDY - NIGHT
Yu is ushered into the room， to discover Sir Te talking to another man， whose back is to her.
SIR TE
Shu Lien， look who's here.
The man turns around- it's Li Mu Bai.
EXT. TE'S HALL - NIGHT
Yu and Li Mu Bai sit together.
LI
Sir Te believes it's a ploy to
cast suspicion on Governor Yu.
YU
But something is going on at the
Yu household.
LI
What have you discovered？
From her sleeve， Yu removes the flier. Li takes it， his face darkening.
LI
Jade Fox？ Impossible.
YU
You always suspected she's fled to
the West.
LI
I didn't think she'd dare come back
to Peking！
YU
Is there any place safer than under
the nose of Governor Yu？
LI
So I shall avenge my master's death
after all.
YU
Be careful. Sir Te requires discretion.
Official business is difficult enough.
Don't let personal feelings make it
worse. And I don't know…… even this
poster…… could be some sort of trap.
LI
Did you see who posted it？
Yu pauses.
YU
No.
LI
It says Jade Fox is hiding at Yu's.
On the night of the theft there was a
brawl near Yu's. Were you involved？
YU
It was Bo， Sir Te's man. I hear he
followed the thief to the Yus'.
LI
Have you questioned him yet？
YU
No， not yet……
LI
But your men are watching over Yu's
compound？
YU
No， I'd already sent them home. You
can blame me for losing the sword， but
please trust that I'll get it back soon
using my own methods.
LI
That's not what I meant. I don't care
about the sword.
YU
What do you mean？ Didn't you come back
here for it？
LI
I didn't know it was stolen until I
got here.
YU
Then why did you come？
LI
Well， we had talked……
De Lu enters.
DE LU
Pardon my intrusion， Master Li， your
room is ready.
LI
Thank you. Please lead the way.
EXT. YELLOW HILL - NIGHT
Tsai， Bo， and May wait under an ancient tree. Bo stifles a yawn.
BO
The fox doesn't care much for
punctuality. Still no sign of her.
An old lady struggles up the hill， wearing a floppy hat over her face， holding a cane. The three exchange glances.
TSAI
Enough！ Show yourself！
The old woman shrinks in fear， but then throws off her disguise and unveils herself- the Governess.
FOX
Tsai…… you dog！ You will pay for
your stubbornness.
BO
That's what you think， old witch！
TSAI
If you surrender now， you'll suffer
less. But if you resist， I won't stop
until you're dead.
MAY
Father！ Let me avenge my mother's death！
FOX
You'll soon end up like her， you little
whore！
BO
You'll pay for that！
A fierce battle begins， the main fighting between Tsai and Fox， with May and Bo getting a stab in occasionally， when the opportunity presents itself.
TSAI （to Bo）
She's going to paralyze you！
Using accupressure， Fox disables Bo. May shoots an arrow at her， but she catches it and flings it back， hitting May.
TSAI
May！
Fox then disables Tsai， but just as she goes for the kill， Li Mu Bai flies down from the treetops and steps between them.
FOX
Tsai， you filthy mongrel！ An ambush！
MAY
Father， are you all right？
Li addresses Fox.
LI
Wudan should have gotten rid of you
long ago. It's been a long time， Jade
Fox！ You don't remember me…… But you
should remember my master. You
infiltrated Wudan while I was away.
You stole our secret manual and
poisoned our master！ Now it's time for
you to pay！
FOX
Your master underestimated us women.
Sure， he'd sleep with me， but he
would never teach me. He deserved to
die by a woman's hand！
LI
You stole the secrets of Wudan's highest
martial arts. But after ten years of
training， your moves are still
undisciplined. And today， under a Wudan
sword…… you will die！
Li easily brings Fox to the ground.
Li raises his sword to the prostrate Fox. A Figure masked in black appears next to Fox， sword extended， saving her.
FOX
Disciple， we'll kill them all！
FIGURE IN BLACK
Let's go！
BO
Another one！
FOX
I must get rid of Tsai！
Fox fights Tsai， Bo， and May， as Li addresses the masked Figure.
LI
Who are you？ Why is the Green Destiny
in your possession？
FIGURE IN BLACK
What's it to you？
LI
My name is Li Mu Bai. The Green Destiny
is mine. Jade Fox can't be your master.
Where did you learn that "Xuan Piu" move？
FIGURE IN BLACK
I'm just playing around.
LI
Tell me， who is your master？
FIGURE IN BLACK
Let's go！
