Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Edit

A beacon.

A funny story.

A little bit of martial arts as a youth,

A message to where?

A rather unflattering portrait of your father.

A thousand years ago,

A village in another dimension full of magical creatures.

A voice that promised them their greatest desires.

A week turned to a month,

About a thousand years.

About Mom being locked behind a gate

Access approved.

After all those years,

After decimating our largest cities,

After losing someone like her,

After my mom died...

After the film, I asked her,

After we fell in love,

All of our people lived in peace and prosperity,

All the way from San Francisco, USA,

All this time I thought I was hallucinating him.

Always hiding.

Always running,

America was terrified.

American girl.

And a giant Romanian with a razor for an arm

And a month turned to six years.

And a thousand years from now,

And after three days,

And all I could hear in the back of my mind

And any...

And asked me to prepare something for your arrival.

And bring her home, so we can be a family again.

And bring her home.

And enjoy your life.

And eventually used it

And for staying out late last night,

And her hand on my back.

And his opponent for tonight,

And I have to get to her first.

And I never wanted to push.

And I see this guy drop his backpack,

And I served time in federal prison,

And I turn the corner,

And I was on my way to lunch one day

And I wasn't playing a character at all,

And I welcome you home.

And I'd only learned how to shoot a bow,

And I'm hanging on to The Great Protector

And I'm not gonna waste my time chasing something

And in debt for the rest of our lives.

And it worked.

And left.

And locked it behind them.

And now he's coming to destroy her home.

And now I have no idea what's real.

And right before he was about to throw the first punch,

And Shaun can speak, like, four languages.

And she patted me on the head and she said,

And she spoke to me.

And she's not leaving any clues for us.

And so did I.

And so, I aimed right for the Sucker's throat

And start thinking about living up to your potential.

And taught myself to do it better.

And that's how we met.

And the exact time it opens.

And the gift that she gave us.

And then I'll help you find whoever you're looking for.

And then Shaun used the Ten Rings

And there's no going back.

And they all had one thing in common.

And they refused.

And this elevator is definitely up to code.

And though we will always hold on to their memories,

And we'll do this again. Nice to see you, John.

And we're pretty much there.

And what happens if they don't let you open the gate?

And when she died...

And when you return,

And where did it get you?

And with each kill, they grew stronger.

And you did nothing.

And you spend your whole life getting really good at it.

And you want me to believe you're now saving the world

And your wife was in the car, too.

Anyway, the producer told me he worked for the BBC.

Apparently, your father picked him up in some magic forest

Are you done mocking me?

Are you here to help the people

Are you planning to stop me all by yourself?

Are you sure that Waigong's allowed to take

Are you the governor's kids?

As soon as I knew my brother wasn't coming back.

At which point she revealed

Back to the afterlife?

Because you thought the monkeys were actually...

Because, uh, initially I thought your dad should

Beef or vegetarian?

Beef. 'Cause that's all you have, right?

Been looking everywhere for ya.

Before he gave them to you?

Believe me, buddy, I would if I knew how.

Bloody hell.

Burn it down.

Bus Boy!

Bus driver is down.

But a guy with a freaking machete for an arm

But a viral star like you?

But because he didn't know my actual name,

But even if that chicken pig is right...

But how long do we have to sit here?

But I did find what they are hiding.

But I just know my own limits,

But I watched everything they did

But I'm not lost any more.

But if we don't find a way to get to Ta Lo before him,

But just as his men

But Morris is 90% confident

But one day, I'll make you proud, I promise.

But our ancestors were no match for them.

But then that dragon vomited a magical water map,

But there's a direct path through the forest

But this is not the way to honour her memory.

But times were lean, you know what I mean?

But to everyone who came before.

But we both know it can't be good.

But we made it.

But we need a fingerprint to open it.

But what I now recognise to be

But when I met their mother,

But you chose those damn rings over us.

But you're gonna have to start getting used to that.

But you're not.

But your dad's on, like, a whole 'nother level.

But, and it's a big "but,"

But, ironic twist,

But...

By a creature who wants to destroy us all.

By a lot.

By her own people?

By the time I was 14,

By the voice of something on the other side.

Calm down, mate.

Can't hear you. I'm sorry.

Come have some joe while you wait.

Come on, bro!

Come on, Shaun, let's go.

Come on!

Come on. You got this.

Comin' at you live on the bus.

Crazier things have turned out to be true.

Dad has a tunnel system under the whole compound.

Dad, Mom's gone.

Dad, please.

Damn, dude.

Deep in my research...

Definitely see a therapist for his delusions,

Devouring every soul in their path,

Did America make you soft?

Did my daughter apply to any new jobs this week?

Did you bet against me?

Did you go through with it?

Did you honour her when you turned her away

Did you think valet parking is easy?

Do you have the rings?

Do you know the name he chose?

Do you know this guy?

Do you mind?

Do you?

Does he look like he can fight?

Doing my best.

Don't you see?

Dragon scales.

Dress like her a little bit, too.

Dude, I saw you fight five assassins

Eats us? What does that mean?

Empowered by the magic of The Great Protector

Even if you could bring her back,

Every fight livestreamed on the dark web.

Every time I've tried to drive a bus, I get yelled at.

Everybody to the front now!

Everything changed.

Everything that you do is, like, so cool.

Far more advanced than we'll ever truly understand.

Figure we got about 30 seconds until he...

Fine.

For all the reasons we all get picked on a lot.

For the infinite wisdom of a creature

For the past thousand years.

For what I said last time, but I'm not gonna apologise...

For years, I thought that was all I was meant to be.

For your homecoming dinner.

Friends, I am but a transitory vessel

From now on, the trajectory of your lives

From soul sucking monsters?

From sunup to sundown,

From the evil that's locked behind it.

From your gate?

Front of line, baby.

Funyuns and cigarettes

Get out of my way, boy.

Give me the key.

Glad I was right.

Go home, get some rest.

Go, Wong!

Go, you freak!

Go! Go, go, go.

Go. You can go. He says "go."

God damn it.

Good for you, dude.

Good. Let's go, we have a lot to talk about.

Gotcha.

Guang Bo, you saw that?

Guang Bo!

Guys, stay safe.

Half the population can just disappear.

Hang on.

Hard right where?

Have you been practicing your English?

He always treat you like that?

He breached the gate!

He came with his army,

He can guide us through safely.

He gave his figurehead the name of a chicken dish.

He has the pendant!

He hasn't taken them off since she died.

He invented a new one.

He said he couldn't look at me because I reminded him of her.

He says he can hear her asking for help.

He says he grew up with your mum. In Ta Lo.

He says it eats us. Go left.

He sent you on a hit at 14.

He thinks you're holding our mom there.

He wants you to take him home.

He's a bit sensitive about that.

He's getting all up in his face...

He's gonna destroy everything that's left of our family.

He's here.

Hell no, dude.

Hell yeah.

Hello, sir,

Her name is Katy.

Here you go.

Hey, hey, get back here.

Hey, where's your brother?

Hey!

Hey. Hey! Hey, open up!

Hi, I'm Katy.

Hi, Xialing. I'm Katy.

Hmm.

Hold on, everybody!

Hold on.

Holding your own mother captive?

Holy shit.

Holy shit.

How dangerous?

How did you find me?

How did you...

How have you never told me this story?

How is it running to have jobs that you actually like?

How long did your dad have them

How would he know me?

How's it goin'?

How's the jaw?

I actually did take

I always bet on Asian.

I always know where my children are.

I built this place on my own.

I can give you a quick preview if you like.

I could barely remember

I could feel her breath on my cheek

I didn't need him any more.

I didn't need you then, and I don't need you now.

I didn't send you this.

I don't know what he wants with them,

I don't know what he's telling you, but Mom...

I don't know what you're talking about, dude.

I don't know who that is.

I finally found something

I gave you 10 years to live your life,

I get sick in the back. Carsick.

I get there are things you never wanted to talk about,

I got clean, I rediscovered my passion.

I grew up.

I have been by your side for half your life.

I have to help my friends.

I have to save her.

I just don't get why you're scared

I just love how you guys know exactly what you wanna do,

I just quit and start something new.

I kinda like this guy.

I knew Katy was trouble

I knew that I couldn't go back to him, so I just...

I know my wife's voice.

I know this is a lot to dump on you.

I know this is a lot to take in,

I know this is a lot.

I know this is, like, crazy, but I'm gonna text you,

I know what you're going there to do.

I know, facile, trite, I couldn't agree more.

I know, you're trying to get me back

I launched into a performance of my Macbeth.

I lied.

I like your pants.

I like your spike face.

I mean, do you have any idea how insane...

I might not have believed it if she didn't tell me herself.

I miss my sister as much as you do,

I only had one arrow left,

I ran away when I was 16.

I really meant what I said, and, in fact, I actually think

I saw the video.

I should also probably mention

I still can't get my head round it, to be honest.

I think it's the address of where she's staying.

I think those birds are on fire.

I think we're gonna miss our bus.

I thought it was just a fairy tale.

I thought that I could change my name,

I threw myself back into the studies of her village.

I told my men

I told you I couldn't go through with it.

I was getting picked on a lot,

I was hoping you knew.

I was just in the back seat.

I was lost for many years.

I was offered the role of a terrorist.

I was sitting in the cinema next to my mum,

I was sitting right here in this seat,

I was so desperate to connect with your mother,

I was taught every possible way to kill a man.

I was willing to do anything he wanted.

I wasn't allowed to train with the boys.

I went to our mom's shrine and waited.

I wish I was more like that.

I wish that were true.

I wonder how your father found you.

I would've asked him...

I'd have gone mad yonks ago.

I'll buy you some time. Just keep going.

I'll explain it when I get back, I promise.

I'll prepare the vehicles.

I'll Venmo you for the...

I'm coming home, Mummy.

I'm coming!

I'm driving.

I'm gonna build my own.

I'm gonna do what he trained me to do.

I'm gonna kill him.

I'm happy to help.

I'm looking for my sister, Xu Xialing.

I'm not a threat.

I'm not afraid of you.

I'm not dead, it's just a performance.

I'm not gonna handle this.

I'm not here to fight anybody. Okay?

I'm not leaving you again.

I'm not who you think I am.

I'm proud of you, sis.

I'm so sorry. I have to deal with this.

I'm sorry about her.

I'm sorry about your mom.

I'm sorry for my unacceptable job.

I'm sorry, but I have to go.

I'm the Asian Jeff Gordon.

I've been doing weekly gigs for the lads ever since.

I've been preparing a monologue

I've had many names throughout my life.

I've seen some really scary stuff this week,

If he asked me to burn the world down,

If he didn't talk to me,

If it grows strong enough,

If my dad won't let me into his empire,

If they can teach those monkeys

If they hurt her...

If we don't work together.

If we make it to the elevator,

If you want them to be yours one day,

Incoming!

Instead of just showing up every day to eat our food.

Into the Dark Gate

Is beyond anything our simple brains can...

Is he gonna be fighting in one of these?

Is he gonna kill us?

Is he wearing the rings?

Is that what they told you?

Is there a back exit?

Is there another exit?

Is this what you wanted?

Is what he said about your mom's village true?

It doesn't matter.

It is all a part of who you are.

It is your right to finish this for both of us.

It matters.

It only prolongs the pain.

It talks... It talks to you?

It turns out he, in fact, was a terrorist,

It was like I was seeing the world for the first time.

It was like she was standing in this room.

It was so nice to meet you.

It will break right through the gate.

It's all about staying in the pocket.

It's Bus Boy!

It's easy to feel alone in this world.

It's headed for the village!

It's like every time I get moderately good at something,

It's like the most challenging job ever.

It's like, "Hi, my name's Gina.

It's Macau's own fearsome killer...

It's Shang Chi.

It's the art of confusion. Works great on stupid people.

It's too late to back out now.

It's very dangerous.

Joined their fight and turned the tide.

Just an entertainer.

Just chopped our bus in half, Shaun!

Just do it. Then we all get paid,

Just head straight for that elevator.

Just head up that ramp and through the front gate.

Just imagine what I could bring to the world.

Just nod. Don't talk. He'll forget you're there.

Katy comes out of nowhere,

Katy, go, go, go!

Katy, Shaun's here.

Katy, watch the...

Katy, we're out of options. We have to go now.

Katy, you're a valet driver

Katy!

Killing all these Soul Suckers with Shaun's aunty,

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let me pass.

Let's get started.

Let's go home.

Let's go see your mother.

Let's go!

Life's too short and too fragile.

Like we practised?

Like, a day earlier,

Like, hours? Days?

Live the dream like me.

Lock them up.

Look who has found his way home!

Look,

Look, I don't know what the hell is going on,

Look, I know this is confusing.

Look, I've done dumber things with worse odds.

Look, if happens to this thing,

Look. Look at that. Look at that girl.

Love that guy.

Makes very good armour.

Mama.

Mama.

Many have tried and failed over the centuries,

Maybe one day you'll pass your driver's test,

Maybe Shaun can help him

Maybe you'll start controlling those punches

Me too?

Mm hmm.

Mm, I'm not sure.

Mm.

Mom, I can't work on an empty stomach, my legs get crampy.

Mom's dead.

Morning, Mrs Chen.

Morris can vouch for me.

Morris is very clear.

Morris says he can guide you there right now.

Morris says he knows who you are.

Morris says it's normal.

Morris says,

Morris says, "Great job, everyone."

Morris?

Most career wins in all of NASCAR history?

My bad.

My dad started my training.

My mom is dead because of him.

My mom wishes came out of her vagina.

My mother was the only one who could beat him.

My name is Wong.

My real name is Wenwu.

My sister sent me this a few months ago.

My son is home.

My Ten Rings.

Names are sacred, Ruiwen.

Needed a boogeyman

Never heard of her.

Nice one, Helen.

No one's ever made it out alive.

No, it's Ruihua's job, let him do it.

No, no, no!

No, no.

No, sorry.

No, you're not... Katy.

No.

No.

No. Shang Chi.

Not like any alien tech I've seen.

Now get down here and play along.

Now I know both.

Now I'm on a battlefield,

Now it's time for you to take your place by my side.

Now take your shirt off.

Now we only have beef.

Now.

Of an orange.

Of this vast, unknown universe

Oh, all good.

Oh, come on. Nothing's gonna happen to this car.

Oh, God.

Oh, hell no. Screw you! I'm not doing this.

Oh, hello, loves.

Oh, Morris!

Oh, my Chinese sucks.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Ohhh!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no, no. These are like low level fights.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. We're not mocking you.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, the Mega Soul Sucker was such a nasty bitch.

Oh, this is such fab news.

Oh, we're out of the vegetarian too.

Oh, you're gonna deliver some dragon arrows?

Oh! What happened?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Really?

Oh. Where's she going?

Oh. You can go.

Okay, but how long are we talking?

Okay, I was 15 years old. All right?

Okay, let's get you ready to fight.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

On a moving bus.

On my signal, make a hard right.

On one of his expeditions to find the entrance.

On Qingming Jie.

One last right, then straight on to the end.

One, two, three.

Only after my mom died.

Ooh, that's gotta hurt.

Open the door, please!

Or...

Or...

Our dad is coming here to open that gate.

Our father is coming.

Our people have been here for over 4,000 years,

Our people have guarded that gate ever since,

Our sisters and brothers.

Papa.

Parking cars is super hard.

Please get out of the car.

Please open the door.

Please tell me you're kidding, Soo.

Please, get in. I'll go slow.

Plus, I had just moved to the US,

Prepare the men for war.

Preparing for something we hope will never happen.

Present.

Ran.

Really fricking close.

Really? Oh.

Release them!

Release them.

Responsible for killing your mother.

Rich with culture and history.

Riding horses? I did. Yes.

Right now, we really just need to find a way to...

Ruihua,

Ruiwen.

S H A N G. Shang.

Scan hand print for gate access.

Scan hand print for gate access.

Seems like a nice fella.

Shan.

Shang Chi.

Shang Chi.

Shang?

Shang.

Shaun Chi.

Shaun Chi.

Shaun,

Shaun,

Shaun!

Shaun!

Shaun!

Shaun!

Shaun! Shaun!

Shaun.

Shaun. Hey.

She asked permission from the elders,

She gave up everything so we could be together.

She isn't back there.

She knew that one day you would find your way here

She really likes her job.

She showed me a part of myself I didn't know was there.

She told him.

She told me she needs my help.

She used to tell us stories about Ta Lo

She wants us to find her

She was gone and we needed you.

She was the only one who called me that.

She would hate the person I've become.

She would still be with us.

She... She does this a lot.

She's back at my dad's compound,

She's calling to me.

She's gone, dude.

She's leaving clues for us.

She's not back there, Dad.

She's not ready yet.

She's not talking to you from behind a gate,

She's writing a research paper on a bus.

Shit!

Shit.

Should be a straight shot.

Should probably be responsible, go to sleep.

Show me how she did it.

Shutting down his operations.

Sir.

So I can only offer you beef or vegetarian?

So I was struggling with my English,

So I yelled back, "I'm not Korean, idiot."

So I'm gonna try and grade this fight as we're goin'.

So we might see another day.

So where is this sister of yours?

So you became an actor

So you could park cars for a living.

So you get the next slot.

So you think soul eaters are talking to our dad?

So you're like his jester?

So, he appropriated The Ten Rings.

So, um, pretty confused right now,

So?

So...

Some years ago, a terrorist from America

Soo can't even parallel park.

Sorry.

Sorry. Heh.

Sorry. Offside, offside.

Start a new life, pretend like it never happened.

Stay in the pocket.

Stealing souls to feed the Dweller in Darkness.

Steps right between us and starts screaming the lyrics

Stop hiding, nephew.

Stop him!

Sworn to protect this realm and yours

Ta Lo did this to us.

Take the girls to their room.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks. Yeah.

Thanks, bro.

Thanks!

That exploded the thing...

That hurt, Emil.

That is exactly the daughter

That maybe there's a point

That my name's not technically Shaun.

That only opens once a year

That she had also swiped the keys to the guy's Mustang.

That was just the beginning.

That was really cool.

That was tight!

That will ultimately be a disappointment for me.

That's a part of the car.

That's a weird horse.

That's how I escaped last time.

That's how I survived.

That's how long it took me to realise

That's how old I was

That's my car!

That's not gonna happen.

That's not me.

That's not what happened.

That's not what I'm talking about.

That's still a part of the car.

That's when I knew.

The actor from Liverpool?

The back is about to go.

The bets are piling in.

The fight we've all been waiting for.

The first day we met in high school.

The first time I witnessed pure artistry.

The first time you used the rings,

The forest eats us.

The hell was that?

The incredible viral sensation,

The leaders of Ta Lo sent their strongest warriors here

The legacy of your family, the good and the bad,

The legendary Ta Lo.

The Mandarin.

The men are ready.

The most dangerous man on Earth.

The other end of the garage.

The passage to Ta Lo is guarded by a moving maze.

The passage will open at dawn.

The path there only opens once a year.

The producer got blown up by Iron Man,

The realm of Ta Lo stretches far beyond

The shores of our small village.

The side of the building...

The Ten Rings ambushed us in San Francisco.

The truth is,

The Warrior King, Master Khan,

The way through is all about timing.

Their thermoluminescence indicates

Then I pulled him into the parking lot...

Then what are these?

Then why would you send me the postcard?

There's a gate deep in their mountains.

There's absolutely no chance of it just falling off

They can see you! You're real!

They connect us not only to ourselves,

They couldn't get enough of it.

They don't match any artefacts from our codex.

They know The Ten Rings have the power to break them free.

They locked her behind that gate to punish her.

They said I wasn't worthy.

They took my pendant.

They were headed to your universe to do the same.

They were lured here

They were more than warriors.

They were our mothers and fathers,

They were simply acting as if they were riding horses.

They will come back once I bring her home.

They wouldn't be able to kill you if they tried.

They're gonna come for yours next.

They're not vibranium. Chitauri?

They're old mates of his.

They're older than that.

They're sending a message.

They're waiting.

Think there's been some sort of confusion.

This family was destroyed a long time ago.

This is bullshit!

This is gonna take your brand to a whole new level.

This is just one guy.

This is why you're here.

This whole bit you're doing just further proves my point.
